Furman is the firm friend of the students, and his varied experiences have taught him to appreciate and to love boys, and to treat them ever as the connng men and gentlemen of our c-ountry. Daddy ' s Class Room The Kiiglish room is very (luiel, A mystery profound; We do not dare to even smile. Or inake the slightest sound. We keep our mouths closed very tight, The teacher to provoke ( ' ' ) ; The president trembles every time That Daddy cracks a joke. The Seniors, some few days ago. Went in at 2 P. M.; The teacher told a funny joke. They laughed — but not at him. The joke was new (?), and many a noise I.ssued from every throat ; There surely was a lively time When Daddy cracked that joke. The president leads what some men call A very streinious life. Makes trouble for such students as Laugh at these jokes for spite. But, somehow, when you mention it. He wears a look so grim. And wonders if we laugh at jokes. Or laujih to U(ur liini. Of all sad words of tongue or pen. What might have been seems scarcely half; For what can le nmch worse than this: To hear good joke.s when you can ' t laugh! ' F. B.

Though the task has been an arduous one, on account of our lack of experience in such an undertaking, and fdso on account of our limited s})are time; yet we have done oui ' l)est, and hope that we have attaiii( d to the high standard set by our predecessors. It has been the })olicy of the Editors to try to picture stuck ' ut life _)ust as it is at Clemson. and to show n|) the dlirei-eut phases of oui ' College life ithout withholding and without exaggeratuig. Ve hope that tlu ' Facidty will take the jokes on them as they are meant, in a spirit of fun. They havi ' scored on us for the last foui ' years, and this is our only and last chance to reciprocate. ' I ) our c-lass-mati ' s, who ha c entinisted us with the work of compiling The Clemson College Aiuuial of 190(j. we wish to say that w ■ha c to the best of our al)ilit - fultilled theii ' trust; and it Is our hope, that in after years, when we chance to turn the lea cs of this volume, that they will bring back to us fond memories of our friends, and pk ' asant recollections of incidents which occurred durin i ' our four years stay at CUMUson College.

Bearing in mind the fact that it is tlic nation that makes the history, and not the history the nation, we are forced to conchide that the extent of our interest in the mal er of a history will depend solely upon the nature of the events recorded. !• rom this it would seem that we should record simply the victories and successes, without regard to tlu ' defeats and failures. l j)on second thought, however, we reali .e that since our history is written for posterity, with the hope that those who follow may better them- selves and learn from our ex|)eriences, therefore, we feel it our duty to record it. The Class of ' Of) openid its Ck ' nisoii College history on the ninth of Septem- ber, 190 : and. from then until the proeiit. has ])vvn fighting its way bravely toward the end. Although ni ' arlv two hundred strong, we were unable to battle with the hostile u})per-classmen, who beset us uj)on every side and compelled us to spend one yi ' ar in servitude. ' J ' hese, however, wei e not the sole causes of trouble in our nndst : for there were other task-masters, who, having our welfare at heart, set numerous difficult tasks before us. With these tasks many of us were able to cope successfn.Uy, but (juite a number despaired and gave u]) tlu ' fight. ' I ' he ind of the first year canu ' at last. aM l the successful returned to the land of their birth to rest and enjoy liberty for a short time. I r()mj)tly at the opening of the next year, our band of riiniteen-six t-ould be seen gathering its subjects togetiier. Among ns wei-e a fiw strangers, some of whom were new miii, others had formei ' h ' belonged to the band oi ' niueteen- h ' ve. Kncoura je(l by the successes of the year before, we set out nobly to perform the more difficult tasks of the Sophomore vear. It «as during this year that we were so well ri ' prt ' sented in thi ' various blanches of athletics, having t N() of our runiibt ' r on the ' varsity eleven. and three on Hie ' varsity nine. And tlii ' ii, on I ' ield Day, our class showed great ability to battle with their opponents upon the athletic (icid. In diu ' time, our iieloNcd Soph, yi ' ar |)assed away ; an l we had barely left i;il ' inoii iiiiiig for t ho e of our number lioiii uc had lost in the fight with the .lune exams, when we found ourselves again called together to make ready for the Junior vear. In the i)eginning, we were, as in the preceding year, joined by a number of the Class of ' (). ). Then commenced the struggle which i)ro ((l to i)e tlu ' hardest of the three. It also ])r()ved to be the most fatal, for many of our number gave up the fight after having fought faithfully for the preceding two years. Dur- ir, iiig this year also, c coiitrihutrd our portion of tlii ' arsitv teams, both in football and in hasLhall. Wlu ' ii the oamcs between the elevens of the various classes were played for the class championship, we were still holding the first place, a place which we have held ever since we entered Collefifc. In literary lines also, the ( lass of ' ()() lias not been backward, being well represented by its members in the various society contests. Ere long the busy Junior year faded away, and then was readied the goal toward which we had been striving for three long years. Every College man knows that thrill of joy with which he returns to College, when he returns as a ' Senior. His successes of the three preceding years move him to make still more strenuous efforts in order that he may continue to win success. Thus did our class begin work: and we trust that we may be amply rewarded throughout tlu ' yeai-. and. finally, throughout life. It is with deep regret that we find ourselves so near the end of our College career; for tlie associations of the past four years liavc been many and pleasant. The struggle has bei ' u hard in many respects, and often it seemed as though we were fighting against uncoiujuerable foes. We have fought bravely, however, and as to the honor that we have obtained for ourselves throughout, we leave it to our professors to answer. As to the extent to which we have equipped ourselves for life ' s battle, we trust to the future for the answer. And now, in conclusion, we l)id a hearty farewell to our College, to our professors, who have been our friends and heljiers throughout, and to our conu ' ades, the lower-classmen. We extend to the Faculty thanks and apprecia- tion of their unceasing and never-tinng interest in us and in our welfare. We trust that their many words of advice and cori ' ection have not fallen on deaf ears, to be as unproductive as the seeds that fall in stony places; but that they have been heeded : and will, in due season, spring forth to yield some fifty, some sixty, and some an hundred fold. l nto the lower-classmen we wish every success throughout the remainder of their career, and may they always bear in mind the motto, which shall, u})on graduation, become the motto of each individual of the Class of 19()(): Never despair: but if you do, work on in despair.

M. ) C 56 JUNIOR The Class of ' 07 I ' I ' is now t«o years since wc of ' 07 last appeared in print : this, however, was not through any fault of our own : hut because the means of so advertising ourselves was denied us, in that no Aiuiuar ' was published last year. So it is, then, that we are now tloubly olad to seize the opportunity so kindly offered us by the men of ' ()(), and we can but hope tliat we shall be thought worthy of fillincp the space tlwit tluy have sit apart for us. It is almost needless to say that, in looking back to that first year, a year of daily apprehensions and nightly terrors, we scarcely recognize those meek and timid fellows who knew nothing i)ut to go and come at the bidding of those above them, and to look up with awe and reverence to the wearers of chevrons and shoulder-bars, and silently pray that such decorations might become theirs in the rosy-misted future. Yet such we were, we one hundred and eighty-three young novitiates in that mighty brotherhood of six hundred. Strangers we were then, for the most part, even to each other: i)ut our common hardships were not long in bringing us together. Our older ' brothers, ' the higher classmen, seemingly with no thought for our comfort and well-being, laid many heavy tests upon us, to prove our fitness for membership in their great fraternity. Nevertheless, we safely stood them all; and on the sixth of June, with a feeling as of a great weight having been taken from us, wi ' bade good-bye to the College, with a kiiuler feeling for it than we had hehl only a few months before. At the assembly in September following, there were found one hundred and sixteen of our little company who had safely crossed the chasm between Fresh, and Soph., and were eager and ready to put the next candidates through their first (li ' ori ' c. Tliis, our ju-kiiowK ' dotd dutv. wc jHrt ' iii-incd witli imicli credii to ourselves iuid 4re;it benefit to our subjeets. We soon realized that tiiere was ahead of us a g ' l ' eat deal of hard work mixed with very little play; for now oui rambles along the Seneca, our excursions to the Old Stone Cluirch and to the old Fort, became fewer and farthei ' between. As Sophs., we had a large idea of our own importance to the world genei ' ally and to the Colleox ' world particu- larly; but since coming to our present state, vvc have all reached one opinion as to our com})arative littleness during that stage of our development. In u[)holding the athletic rejjutation of ( lemson, our class has borne no small ]);irt : one of our members, almost since his name was first placed upon the College roll, has been one of tlie reliables ' upon the gridiron; of the ' 05 base- ball team, one of the most brilliant players was ours ; during the past football season, we have had three of our men })laymg most effective ' varsity ball ; and there are several of our number who lia t ' made records on the ti-ack — no mean showing, til is. We are now finishing our third degi-ic, with just one more year l)efore us. The class that goes out just ahead of us leaws a recoi ' d for woi ' k well done, uj) to whicli we nuist live; three years of work together have given us the confidence that we can. We have watched two bands of men go out from our College walls, men well prepared to take no insignificant share in the affairs of the world; now a third band is going. ] Iay our sole hope and aim be that we may go forth as fit as they to bring credit upon our State, and to make the name of Clemson one that shall be honored throughout the land.

A Sketch of the Sophomore Chiss D THING thu summcT of IJ)()5, ;i !frc;it iiuiny of the hoys throughout the- Stfito, who wished to hL ' iii ( ()IIc ;t in the full, cIionc ( ' Iciuson, pjirtly. i bt ' licvc, because of the fine iigricultural ;iii(l niech.uiical courses, aloiin- with the military discipHne, to be liad tliere ; and also because of the good name which the College bore. There were diff ' erint sources from which these boys came; part of them were from the country, and these, largely, took the agricul- tural course, while others wei ' e from the city, most of whom chosi ' the mechanical ; nearly one hundred of the Freshman class also came on account of having won scholarships, which the State had given this year for the first time. Those from this latter source were of course picked men from ovi ' r the whole State — those wlio won in these competitive examinations for the sch()lai-shi|)s. Largely on their account, we had the largest, as well as the most promising I ' resjunan classes in the history of the College; and, as Sophomores, we still hold this record. Most of us came here for the first time in September, 1904, though some had been here the year before in prep. But despite this latter fact, and also the fact that 61 VjAvi. of us arc taking- agricultural, aiul part mechanical courses, yei it has been a united class, and vc have pushed forward, shoulder to shoulder. Of course, we did not get acquainted with each other, nor so well settled down at first ; but as we began to get accustomed to our surroundings, and those of us who were new students, to our state of rathood. wc began to take more interest in this place and in each other; then our four long years ' search for knowledge began in earnest. Though we began the year with such a fine class, 252 in number, yet we soon lost some in skii ' niishes with our enemies, chief among which were Math., English, History, and Drawing. In December, March, and May we came to pitched battles with these forces. Though our ranks were sadly thinned out in these contests, yet when cessation of hostilities was declared in June, we still had the i-espectable number of 198 left. In September, 161 of us again returned, rested and strengthened after spending the summer in the various ways in which College boys usually do. In our Freshman year we had longingly looked forward to this important time; and now, that wc had returned, l)earing the full dignity and responsibility of Soplio- mores on our shoidders, I feel certain that we had higher aspirations, and more determination to make something of ourselves. Hostilities were promptly com- menced ; but. alas! we found that several of our old enemies, such as Math, and Knglish, were more powerful and nuich more difficult to outwit : while they also had several jiowerful allies, chief among which were Physics and Chemistry. But with the fine body of students which we have, together with the direction and assistance of our })rofessors, how could even the combined strength of these seemingly invincible enemies withstand our attacks? It is true that in the strug- gle they might cause many to fall, but in tlu ' end we must come out ictori()us ; I be all the stronger because of the sti-uggle; and all the better prepared for our future battle with the world. And now, with the ra]nd advance which the South is making, it is evident that there will l)e a demand for just such men, of whom I am certain that Clemson will furnish her share. I also feel certain that among those who go out to battle with the world and find their jilaces in it, that those of this ])resent S()})liomore class will always stand out prominent ; and that its members will jjroudlv })oint back and declare with jtride that tlu ' V belong to the Class of ' 08.

Turner 64 The Story of a Wanderer DAXIET. EARLE was putting up a Brackett and a Hook on the Stdck- liousc, when he saw a Gantt Goat standing on a red Clay hill just across the way Xow, Dadfl j was Bent on tlie rec-a})tiire of his Goat, for that hardy aiiunal had recently devoured a whole file of McClure ' s magazines, an ancient copy of Junius ' letters, and some other Matter; so he sent a Xew man, whom he had just employed, Hard in pursuit to Hunt her. The New man went Wright through a Red fern tiiicket, over the Lee, and along the shore of Timber lake; hut could find no Klugh to the missing Goat. Not in the least discouraged, he continued his search until he reached (tdliouii, where his attention was attracted hv a Carter driving tile most remarkahle of I{iggs. c contained a circus. The actors were a Harper, and Punch and Jud . The Harper continuously played on his harp of a thousand strings, and tlie Xeic man was much mKleined to laugh at the antics of Judij: hut his Scliain l)liss was destinefl to a speedy end, for he was ordered to leave l)v .Uirhels, one of the Carters, who was hacked In Sunn if Jitu. another Carter, — tiiese men having both tired of the sensation caused by their liigg.s. A Shiver of rage passed over the Xezc man, who exclaimed: Doggett! I am a Free man in a free coinitry, and will not brook any such orders on the puhhc highway. He now turned his liack on the Carters, threatening to have them tried before Stjuire Johnstone for creating a disturbance and endangering the peace of the community. From all the w-Poafs tiiat lie could gatlier from a Gardiner and another Good man whom he met, the Goat was rapidiv widening tiie inter al between them. On the ste})s of a House that he passed were three cats and a Keitt. and, although the month was June, he stepjied into a .1 puddle over his shoe tops; uor 2cas this all of his bad luck. for. as he hurried along, a Brad la in the road. He stepped on it and it caused hiiii to w-Pete words not taught ui Sunday school. On entering a nearby town, he met Jenkins, who was going to a Taylor ' s, so they both went along together. In front of tin- Taylor ' s were some Martin gourds, and between the Martin pole and the town I ' ark{er), he saw the missing Goat, which fled i W-Mell into a nearby Hen{ne)ry. The Xew man hastened to the Hen{ne)ry only to find the Goat butting at a Frissell chicken. The next question was Howard he get the Goat back home; but with the aid of a Hobo, who happened to be passing, he soon Heaves a rope around the vagrant Goat ' s Shank [lin) . The rope caused an abrasion which necessitated the application of Sloan ' s linameiit and a dose of Laudanum — this was Hard luck. ' I ' liL- (lOdt w;is triiimpliaiitly curried lioiiio, hut Diidd j had to auswci ' many suits for damages wrought hy this destructive creature. Clerk Tucker took testimony for some time. Daddy was ably defended by the law firm of Morrison, McLucas, Brod ' w, and Bryan. The cases were tried before the House of Bur- gesses, Judge Dargan presiding. T. E. K. m o fresh. History of the Class of ' 09 AND it caiiic to pass (lurin ; ' the sunmier of nineteen hmulred and five tliat inanv boys pi-onipted by tlie realization of tiieir inability to cope with the problems of life, and whose anil)ition was to attend some college in order that they mio-lit (jualify themselves for the responsibilities of hfe, sent in their applications to the registrar for admittance into the most i)opiilar College in the State. Ijifortunately, owing to the lack of room in barracks many of these applicants could not be accommodated, thereby hmiting our number to one hun- dred and ninety-eight. A few men joined us from the class of ' 08 who, unfoi ' - tunately, v ere unable to make the recjuired grade, so they fell in ranks with us. On Se})tenil)er the sixth, 1905, this body of valiant, but green, youths landed at the College in fidl bloom of rathood. Several of us came u]) from King Prepdom, and wvvv actjuainted with the customs of College life to a certain extent ; but the ri ' Ci ' uits f ound it to be a place not to bi ' much admii ' ed at first, bi ' cause the old boys seemed to let inhospitality reign, and wci ' e inchned to be rnther cruel to the newcomtrs in this strange land. The recruits were soon taught how to use the broom, make up beds, carrv wati ' r. and do many things that the - ne (r had done before. If anv resistance at all was shown in executing these practical K ' ssons, the insti ' uctor would liberally apply a persuader ({)a(ldle) to put the rebellious rat in order. ' I ' liis was the first lesson that was taught to the recruits, and it caused many to w ish that tlu ' y wert ' back at Iioiik ' again w here they would be away from these unfriendly comjjanions. Those of us who came ()8 up from Prcpdom, will testify that it was in that class that our superior classes laughed at us in contempt, but now we arc Freshmen ; and, notwithstanding the fact that the cjoal is far away and difficult to reach, still we believe that we have some as good material to reach it with as any of the classes that have laughed at us in our prep. days. We believe that there are several poets, orators, and athletes hidden in our class who shall be able to show their efficiency as such when- ever the classes before us have reached the goal successfully, and the string which binds the responsil)ilities on them so closely has been broken, thereby freeing them and throwing the burden on us. With faith in each one of our class-mates, and courage in ourselves, we intend to aim for the highest, and try to surmount every ob.stacle that we possibly can. After each had stood his entrance examination, the next place we found ourselves was in the class room, where the professors lectured to us about the re(juirements of each tud(■Ilt. and the task that each had to perform. One of tliese requirements was to make at least sixty })ei- cent, on all examinations, so you see we found that wi ' had some .studying to do. It is difficult to go into the detaiU of oui ' class now, as it is composed of various characteristics. Xatui ' ally some seem to want to be men that ari ' moldt ' d rather than men who mold. Some seem to be traxeling through the desert of failure to the valley of despair, while some (and we hope the majority) are on the way to coi ' rect thought and right feeling, which are above all things of matei ' ial })i ' osperity, which leads to the heights of optimism, where onlv are lia})- piness and the possibility of great achievement. In the football field, we are represented by McLaurin, Keasler, and (raston, who have proved to be important factors in athletics. . s no club or organization can will prospei- w ithout a leader, we decided to assemble in Memorial Hall oni ' night, and choosi ' one of our favorites to act as such. This was the first time that we had ever had a meeting, so you can readily .see that we thought v were strictly ' ' in it.

SO Academic Department THK Academic Dcpurtiiiciit is perhaps more limited in its scope of work tliaii any other sejjaratc department of the ( ollct e. It is, however, tlic l)ase, and every student is reciiiii ' ed to pursue the stu(his laid down for this de})artment, to a ' reater or less extent. It i the [jurpose of the department to give to its students a o-ood course in Kn j,hsh. Matlicmatics, History. ;uul I ' ohti- cal ?k ' onomy. In doin ;- this, it prepares them for tiie work taken u]) ) the otlier departments of the College. In view of tiiis lattir fact, its recjuirements in miithcmatics are high, since the students following the engineering courses are recjuired to complete this sul)ject in their .lunior year, so as to he ' prepart ' d for the engineering work ])ro|)er during their Senior (ar. The continued increase in students has reciuired an enlargement of this de- partment from vear to year, until now there are mon- than t  ice as many professors employed in it than formerly. Then, too. there have heeii maii} ' changes in the professors themselves, only two having rt ' mained faithful up to this time. 81 At tlic ()j)L ' iiiii - of the Collcof ill 1893, Prof. Strode ' , assisted 1)V Prof. Clinkscales, had charge of the Department of Mathematies ; Prof. Furnian, as- sisted bv Prof. Harrison, the Enghsh Department; and Prof. Morrison the Department of History and PoHtical Economy, whicli position lie holds at present. There were no changes of the faculty of this department until 1 Si)(j, wlien Prof. Clinkscales became head professor of mathematics, and was assisted by Prof. Brodie. At the same time, the Englisli Department secured Prof. JNIc- Lucas in INIr. Harrison ' s place. In 1899, Prof. Brodie was made head professor of mathematics, ;ind was assisted by Prof. Waller, who, in 190 . resigned to acce])t the Chair of Chemistry at Woff ' ord College. At this time, the English Department was cnlai ' ged somewhat, and Prof. Daniel was made an assistant professor in that department. In 1901. Prof. Waller and Prof. Daniel were given a leave of absence for one year by the College, and their places were filled by Profs. Dargan and Keitt. The following year. Prof. Keitt was elected })er- manently to the English De])artment. In 1901, Profs. Martin and Reaves were elected to the Department of Mathematics. In 190 2. I ' rof. Houston was elected to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Prof. Waller. The Departments of Mathematics ami English now consist each of one head professor and four assistants. Prof. Brodie, assisted by Profs. ] [artin, Houston, Hunter, and Johnson, has cliai ' gi ' of the Mathematical Departnunt ; and Prof. Furman, as- sisted bv Profs. McLucas, Daniel, Keitt, and Bryan, of the Englsh Department. The Department of History and Political Iv ' onomy still consists of only one head professor. T. F. B. rton. • 83 Agricultural Department JUST uiiat a couTM ' of study in at ric-ultuiv, iiivolviiio- as it does a clear insight into the organic- and ccononiic laws of nature, with a conseiiuent high appreciation of lier wonders and beauties, means, is well exeniplitit ' d in the course in agriculture given at Clcnison College. Tliis course is by far tlie broadest in its sc()j)e of any course hei-e otfei ' ed. It not only gi ( ' s the student the useful and valuable information needed to farm in this the day of rapid advances along all lines, but it gives him a splendid foundation for the advanced study of any of the sciences taught here. The courst ' in agriculture, as taught at Clemson, pro ides for nist ruction both in theory and in practice. In both of these, it is taught with the constant aim of familiarizing the student with the objects and laws of nature; and of gi nig him a keen ap})reciat ion of the econonnC side of agriculture. The l)eau- t ies of nature art unfolded, and tlu ' stucK ' nt is brought in dailv contact with some of its phases bearing on agriculture. The Agi ' icultural Department, besifles embracing the academic work of the College, ])rovides for instruction in the following subjects: . griculture [)ro})er, Chemistry, Horticulture, Animal Industry, Geology and Mineralogy, Veterinary 83 Scii ' iKT, Botany and IJactcriolog y, and Kntomoloj ' v. In tliis instruction, the following buildings, which arc situated on or near the campus, are used: Agri- cultural Hall, Chemical Laboratory, ' eterinary Hospital, Greenhouse, Dairy. and Dairy Barn. All of these buildings are well fitted with all of tiie appliances necessary ' for the careful and thoi ' ough teaching of the branches above enume- rated. Most of the ajjparatus in the Agricultural Hall is practically new, nuicli having been added since the building was completed in 1904. The Chemical Laboratory is said to be the best in the South: it has all of the appliances neces- sary for a thorough course in chemistry. The Veterinary Hospital is well fitted for the work in hand. Besides the greenhouse already erected at the horticul- tural grounds, another is going uj) on the campus. They are both of modern design, and will furnish ample room for the needs of the students. The dairy has all of the ecjuipment needed by a good dairy, and the students are drilled in the uses of the machine. The dairy barn is a large well ventilated building of modern design, which was recently erected foi- the acconnnodation of the thoroughbred herd. ' J herc is no studv more pleasant than the studv of agriculturi ' , in its bi ' oad- est sense; so the students of agriculture, while actiuirmg a knowledge of, and a necessary training in, this broad study, realize that amount of pleasure in their work so necessary in one ' s early life to make him a well developed man.

P f- I The Civil Engineering Department THE report of tin- first ( ' urriciilum ( oiniiiittec of tlic Board of Trustees, whicli was adopted July 5), 1M91, two years before the opeiiiuij; of the College, provided for extensive coui ' ses in mechanical and civil engineer- ing. This clause seems, however, to have been overlooked, for, when the faculty was elected, no arrangement was made for instruction in civil engineering, only mechanical and electrical engineei ' ing being providid for. This condition of affairs continued for some years. From the beginning, howevei ' , a brief course in surveying was given by the Mathematical Department, in coiuuction with the woi-k m trigonometry. Ill Pi-esideiit Craighead ' s report to the Board of Trustees, in 1896, we find the following: If, as was once contemplated by the Board, students desiring it are to have instruction in civil engineering, I recommend that this work be assigned to Assistant Professor Brodie, of the Mathematical Department. This n ' })ort was adopted, and in 1H97 a course was provided in mechanical and civil engineering corres})onding to the previously estal)lished course in mechani- cal and electrical engineering. These courses, as then sirranged, were identical tlirough the Sophomore Class, tlu ' choict ' l)etween the two being ma(K ' at tlu ' begimiing of the Junior year. This plan continued until 1903, when the cur- i-iculum was rearranged, and the civil engineering was given larger recognition among the published courses of tlu ' College. This work is in charge of the Professor of Mathematics and ( ' i il l ngineering, who has an a(Je(|uate coi ' ps of assistants. T ' ntil recently, the numl)er of students who cliose this course was compara- ti ' ely small ; but tliev lia e usuallv been earnest men, and an examination of the records will show that the civil graduates generally I ' ank high among the suc- cessful Alumni of the College. Here, as at other institutions, the interest in civil eng ineering has recently received a marked imj)ulse; and this course is fast gi-() ing in popidarity. This is due to a number of causes. Among these ma} ' be iiK ' iitioncd the rapid (le ( ' lo])ment. in the South, of railroads and other con- struction demanding the services of civil engineers, and the success of the gradu- ates of this departiiu ' nt in securing good positions. The Class of 1906 will graduatt ' more than double the numbei ' of aiiv preceding year. This growth in the number of students pursuing the course soon led to an increase in the teaching force of the departineiit, and more libera] apj)ropriations by the Board of Trustees for its maintenance and thorough t ' tjuipment. The training in civil 8j eiigiiieciMii jf as now })r()vi(k ' (l ] vi is tlH)r()u i;li and jjroo-rcssivc in every })articii- lar, and compares favorably with tliat in the l)est of the otlier institutions of the South. In connection witli tlie teclniical studies, hberal training- is n-iven in Kno;lisli. Iiistory, economics, ])ui ' e mathematics and tlie physical sciences. In common with the otht ' r t ' n meerin ); coursi ' of the ( ' olk ' i c, this coui se also t ' lnhraces a la) ;e amount of drawino-, shop work, niechanic;d euirineering and nieclianical lahora- toiv practice. — aU of whicli is ada])ted to the needs of the civil engineer. ' I ' he distinctive Mork })ursiie(l i)v stiuk ' nis in this course includes the studv of land surveying and })l()ttiiig. toijograpliic siir eying and ma|)ping; location, construction, and maintenance of roads, railroads, streets, and ])avements ; strength of building matt-rials. masonrv construction, foundations t)n land and in water; analytic and graphic mxestigations of stresses in girders, roofs, and bridges, and the design of these structures; the pi ' Iuciples of hvdraulics as ap])lit ' d to (lams, reservoirs, canals, municipal water works, and the developnu ' nt of water })ower. ' I ' he course is intended to ])repare young men for entrance uj)on profes- sional practice in sonu ' of tlu ' manv branches of civil engineering, and also to meet the needs of those who, havino- been en ' a :ed in eno-ineerinu ' work without a course of instruction, desire to ecjuip themselves for more successful competition with those who lime had such training. .1. L. W ' oodkoof. 86 f History of the Electrical Department THE first Kkctric-iil Engineeriiif)- ;it C ' lomson College was given hv Pro- fessor S. Tompkins, dnring the session of 1 S9(). In February of that year. Professor V. M. Riggs was elected instructor in electrical engi- neering, and taught the first electrical laboratory class at ( lenison. Since that time, he ha had chargi ' of all of the electri -al work. Ai that time, the only iustrunRiits a ailal)lc foi ' teaching purposes were a Weston Ammeter, a N ' oltmeter of the same make, and a Kester !2.5 II. P. motor. These were later supplemented by a number of wooden arnmture models, as armature winding was an important feature in this laboratory work. All of these instruments are still in the possession of the I lcctrical Department, and are in constant use. In 189f), the Junior FJectrical I.;d)oi atorv was built after a design made by Professors Tompkins and Riggs. Tluy had l)ut .$.500 available for the purpose, so it was built by one negro bricklayer and one carpenter. The build- ing has absolutely no iron or other magnetic material in its construction; and. in the end, cost al)()ut $900. other ap})ropriations being made to complete the work. 87 1 I This little hihorutory li;is be ' cn gr;ulu:illy equipped with the finest apparatus on the market, and is now valued at $1,760. The Dynamo Laboratory had its beginning in 1897, in the back end of what is now the machine shop. The Mechanical Engineering- Laboratory shared with the Electrical the occupancy of this outer wing of the building, the machine sho}) being then situated where the Mechanical Laboratory now stands. The first Dynamo Laboratory equi})ment consisted of a 17 H. V. motor, used for driving a line shaft, and two 2.. 5 H. P. Kester Machines, one of which has been already mentioned, together with an old Hrush (ienerator, and, a little hiter. a small T. H. Arc Machine, an Ampere IJalauce, the two Weston instru- ments mentioned before, and seveivd second-liand and practically worthless instru- ments, which com))leted the ecjuipnu ' ut. Hut this Kjuipment, and that in the little laboratory, trauied some of Clemson ' s most successful engineers. The pi ' esent Dynamo Laboratory was designed and built by l rofessor ■liig ' gs, dui-ing the summer vacation of IDOO. This building cost about .$. ' 2,7()(), and is built of the best material and in the m:)st substantial manner. In it, has l)een accunudated in the last few years the hot and niDst representative Electrical Laboi ' atorv e(|uipment in tlu ' South, and one of the best in the country. The })resent value of the equipment, exclusive of the building itself, is .$8.18 2. The arrangement of the mains, and the general wiring scheme and method of having each and evei ' y machine mo al)le, is convenii ' iit and unique. The equipment of this laboi-atoi ' v and its general arrangement was made tile subject of a jjaper read by Professoi Riggs before the Association for the Promotion of Eiiiiineerino ' Electricians that convened at Xiayara Falls, in .June, 19() ' 5, while the course and method of laboratory instruction was outlined in a [)aper vnu] at the Atlanta meeting (190 2) of the Association of American Collegi ' E j)eriinent Stations. Professor Riu ' U ' s was elected Director of tln ' Dei)artment of Mechanical and Electrical Enginei ' rlng in .lune, 1901. During the time he has )vv teach- ing, one hundred and forty students h,a e graduated in the mechanical and electrical course. W. P. Wnrri:. 88 Textile Department IN order to iiu ' ct the liiii;iii(i of Soutlieni coiulitioiis for ;i class of young men trained in the finer details of cotton nianufactui ' e, the Board of Trus- tees of ( lenison College, in 189H, appropriated fifteen thousand dollars for Mie purpose of estahlishing the ' I ' extile l)ej)artnient ; and, in 11)00, it was found necessary to double the size of the building, that additional niachinerv and a dve- plant niigbt be added. ' I ' he l)uil(ling is a laige three-story ! rick structure of modern design; and, although it was i-rected for educational and experimental purposes, it has all the more ])roniinent features of a tyj)ical Southern cotton mill. On the first floor is situated the dyeing, i)leaching and printing machinery; and, on the second, are the carding and spiiming rooms, and the depiirtmental liln ' arv, while the third floor i occupied by drawing and designing rooms, cluinical laboratory, •and weave room, there being offices and recitation rooms on each floor. Addi- tional machinery and apparatus are being continually added, and the building and e(|ui})ments are now i-stimated at seventy-five thousand dollars. TIh- object of this course is, ))rimarily, to direct young men in their studv of the textile fibres, to teach theii ' manipulation and the after processes of maiui- 89 t ' ucture required hj the ti ' iuk ' . The principles un(iiTlyiii ;- tlie art of inauufac- tiire are taught by lecturf, text-l)ook, and experiment ; and skill is acquired by intimate contact with the machinery equipment, riiis course does not presiune to fit one for the active management of a mill immediately upon graduation, but is intenck ' d to give the stutlent a broad foundation on which to specialize; and the graduate is in jxjssession of such information, and has ac(juired such expe- rience and knowledge in handling raw materials and manufacturing machinery, as will soon place him among leading manufacturers. In connection with the courses in carding, s])inning, weaving, designing, and dyeing, including mill construction along with the cotton mill })rocesses and opei ' ations, the student has till ' opportunity of accjuiring a good general education. Although there has not been quite so many graduates from this department as from some of the others, there has always been considerable interest taken ill this work; and most of those who have coinj)leted this course have pushed their way to the front, whei-e they now hold important jxtsitioiis and rank with the leading mill men of the South. ¥.

In response to his bidding a little hoy of about ten years of age rushed into the room, and ran to the grate to warm. Uncle John, don ' t you know that to-day is my l)irthdayP The great man looked down into the big brown upturned ex])ectant eyes, and rephed « ith a little confusion : ' hv, Benny, it had entirely escaped my memory. ' Well, Uncle .John, what in the world do you tiiink ai)out, anyhow? • ' .Tust then I was thinking about my detective work. W ' hv are you a detective, Uncli- .John. ' ' ' ' I ' hat is a long story, my boy; but, as this is vour birthday. I will tell you why 1 became a detective. Please do; for I lo e to heai ' stoi ' ies. real, true, sure-enough stories. ' •ll, here goes: ' li(ii I was eighteen ears old, I had a great notion that I should like to be a cotton mill })resi(lent ; so, to get the necessary training to fill that important position, I determined to take the special two years ' cou ' ' se offered by the Textile Department at ( lemson College. I passed mv first year without anv special incident; but it w a during iiiv second vt ' ai ' that I found time hanging heavy on me, for my course recjuii-ed little of my time: it was then that I usi ' d to take long rrunbles over the countrv. One Sunday, as I was walking along the I ' ailroad, I chanced to look down into a deep ravine neai ' the track, and saw a shoe; however, I did not pay much attention to this at the time, but all through that night my mind was disturbed by all sorts of strange fancies. It seemed to me that I was just about to be hurled from a fast moving train, when, suddenly, I was hit on the lu ' ad by a shoe moving through space. .Just then I awoke, and found that in my fright I had struck mv head against the bed post. After I had collected my little wits, I began to think of the shoe; and wonder how it could have gotten into the ravine. The moi ' e I pondered, the less reasonable it seemed for a shoe to be in such a place; l)ut I remembered that my work on the morrow was all in the morning, so I resolved to further investigate the shoe mystery the next afternoon. 93 .Vf ' tcr iiiv classes were over the iu t dav, 1 could scarcely take time to eat my (liiiiiei-; so anxious was I to further probe into the mystery of the lost shoe. I hastened to the spot wlu ' nce I had seen the shoe on the day before, and located it. ' J ) reach it, w;is only the matter of a few seconds. i stoojied and jiicked it uj), and saw that the toe was much torn. In an instant I had re ;ained my {)oint of vanta -e on the railroad track, and was scrutini .ino- the space before me for the owner of the shoe. Just at the bottom of the embankment, I saw a bunch of weeds shake slio-jitly ; and it was here that I found a very much battered ' and bruised man of about twenty-eiojht years of age. His clothes Avero torn to shreds, but of the extent of his injuries I could not tell, cxce[)t that he was totally unconscious. Havino- called in assistance, we carried him to the nearest house, the people treating- him with the utmost kindness. After medical aid had been summoned, I left him. not, however, before I had taken all of the j)apers that he had on his ])erson : this the })eople consented to, inasmuch as I had found him; for I now susj)ected foul ])lav, and was determined to investigate the matter. ■That night I looked over the p;ipers that I had brought with me; and. from them, I found out that this man belonged to the mill class, among whom I was ])lanning to ])ass my life, for one of the })apers in his pocket was a check fo i ' liis week ' s work. This struck me as strange, for I knew that the mdl ])eopIe usually draw their pay at once, whik ' this check was dated two weeks ago: and what so struck me as unusual, was that the check was made payable to ' bearer. ' The only other paper that struck me as having any connection with the case in hand, was a very dirty piece of paper, on which was scrawled in a cramped hand, ' Vou ' uns had Hetter git Out of This Heer. You als noes two mutch. The X. Y. Z. ' •IMy conclusions from tliesi ' two ])apcrs were, that innnediately on receiving his check, my now-considered client had received the second paper from a gang Willi whom lie had fallen into disfa ()r on account of knowing something of their doings; and the bad spelling and ])oor capitalization, as well as the scrawl, sti-uck me as put on, for some of the letters were well formed, and the whole thing- was correctly punctuated. With this much information before me, I began to theori e. The uncaslied check boi ' e the name of the mill, though not of the town ; so the tirst thing that I did was to find a list of the Southern cotton mills. Here I was (k ' stined to meet w ith a disa})pointnient, for I found two mills th;it bore the same name — the name on the check, rius difficulty I overcanu ' by finding- out, in i-esponsi ' to a tt ' legram, that one of these mills paid their em- ployees with checks, made payable to ' bearer, ' while at the other mill, the nanu ' 91. I of the ciiiployec was inserted. When I had tlius definitely located the mill, the case hecaiue still more intricate; for mv client had never regained consciousness, and talked out of his head a great deal. Sometimes he would talk about the farm and about driving the cows home from the pasture and about going to the swimming pool. Again, he would talk about the mill ; and. once, he spoke of ' Nelse and the scrap iH ' hiiid the shop. ' This seemed a possible clew ; and, as I could get no more information from him, I resolved to get an indefinite leave and visit the mill, to search for the mysterious ' Nelse. ' Accordingly, I betook myself to the village of , and to the cotton mill. I went as a hardware drumnu ' r: and, after having registered as such at the hotel, I went over to the mill. Here I asked to see the manager of the shops. When presented to him, I asked if Nelse Smith worked there. He replied in the negative. Here I was balked again, and it seemed as if my trip was to be a failure, !)ut as I walked out of the shop a small boy accosted me. ' Say, listei , you don ' t mean Nelse Brock, do you P ' Vhy, yes, he is the man I am looking for. I replied, because I had used the name Smith as it was the first one that I could think of. ' I can take you to him, ' was the reply. I tossed the urchin a (juarter and followed. Soon we reached a blacksmith shoj). which was presided over by Ji stalwart old negro, about fifty yi ' ars old. He met me with a pleasant smile and inquired my business. Here again I was nonplussed, for I had been unable to find out my client ' s name; but I asked him liad the man ever recovered who had been hurt in the fight behind the shoj). I e })ecti ' d to see him start and look guilty, but such was not the case; for with the utmost composure he told me how a Mr. Norman and two other men had arrested, after a hard scuffle, three men of a gang of thieves, while the rest of the gang had escaped. From his description, I concluded that mv client must be Mr. Norman. In answer to a question that I put, the old fellow said that Mr. Norman had been a cotton mill employee at the mill until he had captured these thieves; but that, within the last week, he had mysteriously dis- appeared, it being generally belit ' ved that he had gone off to his home, but nobody knew where he lived. I worked on the case for several days; but the only information that I could obtain, was that Mr. Norman had been last seen as he boardt ' d train num- ber 40, on the 15th. From the train crew, I leai ' iied that two suspicious looking tramps had been put off at Seneca on that day. From clew to clew, I followed these men for three hundred miles, being constantly informed of my client ' s 95 coiKlitioii l)_v ti ' k ' i ;ra])li. One day, while at tlu ' taH()ii vaitiii ;- lor a mes.sa ' L ' , I noticed a suspicious lookin ' man at the ope ' U window of tlie station room, jot- tin 4 ' down soniethino- in a nieniorandum hook, aiul listening- very intently, live minutes later the operator handed me my mess;ioe ; aiul, as I received it, it flashed across my mind that porhaj)s the man whom I had seen witii the note book was the crnninal 1 was pursuing. On opening the telegram, I read as follows: ' Man conscious, name Nor- man, was thrown from No. 40 on 15th, by two unknown persons, vt ' ry weak. ' Now I was at my row ' s end ; for the criminals knew as much as I, if they had .i cop y of the telegram, as it contained all of the information that I had collected in two veeks of hard work. ]My first move was to telegraph a (lescri{)tion of the man I had seen, to each conductor on the road and to tlie Chief of Police in every town within the i-adius of one luuidrt ' d mik ' s. I then went down town and stated my case to the chief, and asked that two officers be detailed to shadow me that night. This he readily consented to; for he agreed with me, that nun who were desperate ' enough to throw a man from a moving train would make w;iy with a man who was shadowing tlu ' m. ' I walked through the saloons and slums of the city, with the hope of again seeing the man that I had seen at the depot. While traversing a dark .sti ' cet, I was struck on the head and felled to the grou nd unconscious; then there was a melee over me, and I knew no more. ■hen I recovered consciousness, I was in a hotel and a doctor was ' standing by the bedside. He walked to the tele])hone and sent a message, but would answer no question of mine. Soon the door opened and in walked my friend, the Chief of Police. He was smiling broadly, and (lid not gi e me time to ask a (juestion. ' Well, we caught ' em, and got tlu ' j)apers, too. ' He went on to tell me that just as the miscreants knocked me down, his officers served them the same way, and that a copy of m ' telegram, as well as several letters addressed to Mr. Norman, had been found on tluir persons. The proof was so conclusive that the criminals threw themselves on the mercy of the Court, and each received eight years in the j)enitentiary for assault and batte ry with intent to kill, this being the limit of the law; foi- Mr. Norman had fully recovered. After the conviction of the criminals, I returned to Clemson and finished my course; but, immediately after receiving my certificate, I was tendered a position on the Pinkerton detective force, which I accepted. T. E. Keitt. 96 I ! I The Gathering of the Literary Club AND it came to pass in those days, as the custom was, that there was to be -athered together in tlie palace of the King at the eighth hour of the first day of the week the Literary Chil). Now, it was the custom tliat none but tlie wise men of the kingdom were l)iddcn to this gathering; but, at this time, there were young men in the realm who had found favor in the sight of the Queen, and she went in unto the King and besought him that he would cause a decree to be sent forth bidding the favored young men to attend this gathering of the Literary Club. And the Queen found favor in the sight of the King; and he did unto her even as she desired of him. And the Queen was glad; and went forth from the presence of her lord with exceeding great haste, and com- manded her servants that tiiev should write an imitation to tin ' favoi ' ed young men, even write it uj)on the parchment bearing the King ' s title and upon the typewriter used only for his majesty the King. And it came to ])ass, when the invitation was complete, that tlu ' ( ueen caused it to be sent bv lur servants to the young men. And aN the Ncrvants of the Queen came near, the young men bowed exceeding low and received the Queen ' s message with excei ' ding great fear and trembling; for they kiu ' w not what it meant, and they became sore afraid. ' JMie servants seeing their tremblmg countenances ald unto them, He not afraid, for thi.s day hast thou found faxor in the ( liieen ' s sight and arc liei ' ebv bidden to the Wise INIcn ' s Literary Club. And when the servants had thus spoken, the young men rent their clothes and shouted for joy, for in the history of the kingdom, yoiuig men had nt ' Ver i)een so honored. ' hen tliev came to themselves, they made great haste to accept the Queen ' s invitation, and pledged themselves to be present at half-|)ast the eighth hour, even as the Queen had commanded them. And behold the day set a})art for the gathering of the Literary Club dawned, and while it was yet early, the voung men ixgan to make ])reparation, lest they should incur the hot displeasure of the Queen by being late. Now the preparation of the young men was very great, exceeding ;uiy that had ever been made, even that of the Seniors upon graduation day. The voung men waslied themsehes aiul })oure(l j)reci(nis ointment upon their lieadN, I ' veii the ointment of gi eat pi ' ice. . nd their sandals were shined with great diligence and j)ut on with exceeding great care. And their a})parel w as exceeding spotless and pressed unto the utmost ability of the tailor. Some of the young men adorned themselves with white vests; some borrowed ascot ties of their neighbors, even scarf pins and whatsoever things adorning that could be had in the realm of barracks, the home 97 of the youn r men. And it came to })ass, wlieii tlie period of preparation was over, tliat the young men came fortli in sueli l)rilhant array that tlie servants of the li()useh(iltl of barracks were smitten with amazement. Tlie flay being far spent, the young men set out on their way to the King ' s jjalace ; and, after an hour ' s journey, came thereunto. On reacliing the inner gate, the young men were seized with fear and began to tremble: but, as they a])proached near unto the door, behold the Queen in all her beauty and queenly apparel stood near by to receive them. And the splendor and grandeur of the Queen caused the guests to become as dead men; but as the Queen with gracious smile of welcome bade them enter, they revived and touched the Queen ' s hand and bowed exceeding low. Now, as the guests entered, behold they saw, in royal array, the wise men and women, even the Professors, seated in high places, even in rows facing the center of the court. And it came to ])ass that the ( ueen bade the young men enter this assemblage and gave them seats, even the seats of honor, on the front row. And these young men were sore afraid, and they did quake by reason of their fear. Now when the sages were all gathered together and it pleased the Queen, the ruler of the Literary Club, the great and learned patri- arch, arose, and with great solenmity said: If it please thee, O King and Queen., I pray thee that the gathering come to orcier. And it was so. After these things, the ruler turned to the great priest, who was to read from the scroll which he held in his hand, and commanded him that he should read, and he did so. As he read, behold the fear of the young men became great, because he read of priests, old and very strange, and of many things unknown to them. In the coux ' se of time, the reader ceased: and silence fell upon all, for the voice of the priest was still. Hut it came to pass when the priest had ceased speaking for a time, that such an outbreak of a}){)lause burst forth from the Queen and sages gathered together that the young men looked at each other and would have fallen to the floor because of tluir fear, but the leader arose and said: The reading is over and it bcfalleth me, O sages and Professors, to call ii])on the Secretary to give an account of the Connnittee on Programme. At this, a tall and majestic knight arose and answered the call by announcing subjects of great moment, even beyond the wisdom of the young men. Hut the wise men and women wvvv |)leased and began to talk concerning the things that had been spoken, in such a way that the young men were amazed, even so nuich that they could not contain themselves, and they laughed aloud. Somt ' of the sages favoi ' ed one topic and some another, e en some differed with the King and Queen. And behold the rulei ' of the gathering was displeased, and began to talk in a very mirthful manner, even so that the young men and 98 those gathered together lauglied exceedingly loud and long. After the ruler had made an end of speaking, the Queen arose and said in a loud voice, ' I, O ruler, agree with my husband, the King. Wlu ' reupon the ruler and sages were again overcome with laughter. Now at this time, the night being far spent, the wise men commanded that the musician come forth and make unto the gathering a joyful noise; whereupon the mighty man of music stepped forth and bowed low and came unto the piano. And as his h.uids touched the keys, such a melody of sweet sounds came forth that the gathering was amazed; but the music had just begun, for, as it proceeded, it grew in ])ower, even vuito the enchanting of all o-athered together. So sweet « as the music that even it was like unto that of Orpheus of old, enchanting human, brute and devil. And it came to pass that the music ceased, and behold the young men iuuigered ; but nothing was given them whereof they could eat in the King ' s house. After tlusc things, the Queen, being very much niterested, brought forth silks of erv old age, even pieces made in the time of our father Abraham, and pieces worn by Sarah his wife. And behold the young men were sore amazed and bewildered, and wished them- selves beyond tlie courts of the King ' s palace, i ' or thev kne not. neither did they understand the woi-ds of the ( )iieen and of the siiges. And it came to pass that the night being far spent and the yoiuig men being- exceeding weary, that one of them fill u])on his knees befori ' the King and besought him very huniblv that the ()nng men l)e permitted to depart. The Queen, seeing tlu ' young man upon his knees, arose hastily and stood befoi ' e the King and made ])etition also for the wish of thi ' young man. And the King- was pleased with the Queen, and caused it to be unto the young men even as they desired. Then the young nan were glad; and with great bows, v vi to the Hoor. left the ;U)ode of the King and the assembly of the Literary Club. And it came to pass, after the departure of the young men, that behold they knew not the names of the wise men, neither the names of the w ise men ' s wi es, not havino- been told thereof in the King ' s house, at the gathering of the Litt ' rarv Club. Now, as the young men journeyed to their home, behold they pondered u})on the things they had heard and reasoned among themselves ; and behold they knew not, neither did tlu ' v understand tlu ' things whereof they had seen and heard. After these things, the young men laid them down and slept, and behold thev dreamed of the King ' s palaci ' and tlu ' Wise JNIen ' s Literary Club. J. H. McClain. 99 Com .MUiAN l.iii:ii.ui Sdcilty The Calhoun Literary Society Ox Julv -ith, 1893, was organizc ' d at t Iciiisoii College the Calhoun Literai ' y Society. This society elected officers, adopted a constitution and bv-laws, and entered upon its career of usefulness. As with all other careers, that of the society has been one of ups and downs ; hut this stage of uncertainty is now passed, and the society is now moving steadily upward, tread- ine: the hi h road which leads to success. One of the ini})ortant features of the society, is an annual contest for medals. Tlie first contest was held in Xoveniiier. IN!) . The exercises take place in Memorial Hall: the contestants are elected i)v the soeiety. and represent its best material: judges are chosen from the Faculty: and medals are awarded to the best orator, debater, and declainuT. Another honor to which the society member aspires, is the Trustees ' medal, riiis medal is given annually l)y the Board of Trustees to the btst orator of tlu ' College, and each society chooses one represen- tative to enter the contest, ' i ' his medal was first awarded in IDO. ' i, am! was won In ' H. C. Tillman, of the Calhoun Society. The Clemson College Chronicle, established undii- the auspices of the three literary societies, is an imj)ortant influence among the student body. The estab- lishment of such a journal was first })r()})osed l)y the Calhoun Society in May. ' 95 ; but, after consideration the matter « as dropped. The reason given was, that a literary journal could not he maintained at a strictl - scientific school such as Clemson. But, in the spring of ' 97. this movcincnt was again brought forward and carried thi-ough. .Mr. . . B. Bryan, of the Calhoun Society was first Editor-in-Chief, and Mr. .1. 1 ' . linus, also of the Calhoun Society, held the })osition of Business Manager. In the latter part of ' 95, Messrs. Garris ;ind Tom})kins became involved in a personal difficulty, which unfortimately resulted in the resignation of Mr. Garris, and the establishment, by that gentleman, of the Columbian Society. Having spoken of some of the incidents connected with the society ' s historV; it might be well to mention a few of her members who have gone out from the walls of Clemson and have achieved success and honor in work where their society training has been useful. Among hvsv we should mention : Mr. Garris, the lamented member of the lioard of Trustees, who died in 1904: .Mr. .Mauldin, of the Pickens bar. ami a former member of the Legislature; Mr. L. . Sease, a member of the Board of Trustees: Rev. B. . Turni})seed, of . iken, who is the only minister the College has produced: H. I. Ilallam, Su|)irinti ' n(lc ' nt of Educa- 101 40511 tion of Pickens County; W. J. Sarratt, of Cliorokeo, and W. ( ' . Irby, of Laurens hotli int ' iiil)LTs of the Leg ' islatui ' i ' ; and Professors Hook, IJryan and Lee. all mem- bers of tlie Faculty of C ' lemson College. Here in the Calhoun Society hall arc decided in an hour ' s debate the questions and ])roblenis which have perplexed and puzzled the diplomats and statesmen of all nations for centuries; hei ' e tlu ' youthful or itor thrills his student audience, and, gazing on the portrait of the great Calhoun, dreams of future glory — such dreams may never be rodized, but the im])ortant gift of ])ul)lic speaking is cultivated in the men who must become leaders in the town, the County, the State, and the Nation.

Wi«e 106 The Columbian Literary Society IT was duriiio- the first years of tlie life of Cleinson College that so much interest and enthusiasm was shown in literary society work. So great was the society sj)irit manifested that most of the other pliases of College work suffered from neglect. This condition was probably due to the undeveloped state of the different branches of the regular College work, l)ut it is still questionable whether those studi ' uts who (k ' voted so nnich time to the literary society and distinguished themselves upon the rostrum were not better e(juii)})e(l for life ' s duties than are the students of the present day. At first there were two societies ; but the need for another became so much in evidence that a movement, led by -John S. (iarns. who had i)ecome dissatisfied in the Calhoun Society, resulted in the organization of the Columbian Society. On the night of larch J2. 1S94, the society ' was organized with sixty-six members. I). M. .AlcCaskill was chosen the first President, and W. . Bobo the first Record- ing Secretary. The first regular nutting was lield ] Iarch 9. ISO , when the first officers were installed. Several names were suggested for the society; but none was accepted until March 3()th, when the Columbian Literary Societ} ' was adopted as its name. From the beginning, the soeietv has been one of the most important adjuncts to the reo ' idar Colle e work. In the differi ' iit student oro-anizations reciuirinii ' work of a literary character, its representatives have performed with credit till ' duties im])osed upon tlieni. It ha siiit three ri ' })resentatives to the State ()r;itorical contest, each of them winning distinction. In all other movements where the welfare of the student body or of tlie College was concerned, it has given a strong and helpful support. Out in the woi ' ld of afi ' airN. uianv of its members are reflecting great ci ' edit upon their College and society. Some have become prominent at the bar; others have done well as teachers. In other spheres of life, where tlie ability to speak is necessary, they have not been found wanting. We cannot estimate the pleasures and the benefits that have been derived fi-om the Columbian Society; for that is im})ossil)le. Many of the most pleasant evenings of College life have been spent within its walls. It is there, one evening in each week, that its members have enjoyed friendly, social, and mental rivalry. Hut its benefits far exceed it pleasures. Tlu ' nerxous and hesitating speaker has been gradually transformed into an easy and fluent one by its influence; and those who possess talent for oratory have been helped to develop it. But more lOT fju ' -rc ' ucliiiio ' tli;in tlie iii(li idu.il hciU ' fits, is the iiiHuoiu ' c which tlio trainino- of the society will exei ' t upi)ii ci ic and social conditions. From it nianv of South Carolina ' s sons have received power which will at sonic future time helj) them in shapino; the destiny of the State. The society, since its organization, has enjoyed a period of unhroken success. It has always had a memhership capahic of wiiinin  ; success under the most adverse conditions. May we ho])( ' that its future will he as hri ' ht and prosperous as its past has heen. .1. K.

To all who have been identified with this society in tiie years gone by, this spot is one of hallowed mem- ories and fond recollections. When your mind shall wander back to the time when you were an active member, when, perhaps, you mounted the rostrum and advanced point after point in heated argument against some opponent, until at last, you stepped forth the victor — the iiKntally suj)erior; or when you were chosen to speak in some public contest and came out with flying colors, — when your mind shall wander back to all of these things, the work that you accom- plished in the society will seem but the music of 3 ' our college days. Memory ' s lyre shall echo the sympjionies of the notes you fingered, and shall in pire you on to peal forth still sweeter meloches, that will reverberate in ariose and mellow cadences. Reviewing the field liastily, we shall attemj)t to set forth a few facts about the society, in some of which. «e i ' vvl a j)ri(le similar to that felt i)y a father for an obedient son. The Palmetto Literary Society was organized in Fel)ruai ' y. 189;3. with .Mr. Kobt. Welch, as President, and twenty-one out of a class of thirty-si Seniors on its roll of membership. Although we have not always had the largest membershi}), we have always maintained a high standard, and made an excellent showing in the .annual celebrations. IMiis statement may be verified by the fact that we have been victorious in seven of the inter-society contests. Since the organization of the S. ( ' . Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Association, in 1898, we liave furnished three of the College ' s representatives : and they have all made a good showing. Although we have had many excellent spt ' akers who ha i ' reflected credit on the society, ]Mr. W. L. Moise easily deserves the first place on oui ' roll of honor. He represented the College at the State contest in 1898, and had the distinction of winning the first honor med;d. which entitled him to represent South Carolina at the Southern Inter-State Conti ' st held at .Monteagle, Tenn. In this contest, he again distinguished himself by winning the first medal. We are pleased to notice that many of our old members who were prominent in the society while here, have made quite a success since li ' aving College; and all of them testify to the fact that the most important training thev ' received while here, was in the society. We would not discredit for a moment the acquiring 111 of book kiiowk ' doc ; hut t i-;iiiiiii ' in the socJLt v ivi ' s a synnmtrv aiid a round- ness which you do not gx ' t from books alone. IIa inu- a store of book kno vled ife witliout Ijeiiig able to express one ' s self, is like having a lot of building material without the ability to construct the building. The best way to learn how to construct is to join the society. We therefore beg of all students who do not belong to any society, to join and get the full benefit of tlu ' ir College course. Remember that a society diploma will be a thing of pride to point to when time ' s minions begin to creep upon you. if you can be induced to join any society, we would most heartily welcome you into the Palmetto. 1).

The Electrical ' s Battle OF tlic Hood of huinanitv tliut poured into ( ' Icinsoii on thr ninth of Septem her, 19() J, H .small company of hale and hearty youths banded themselves too-etlier to conquer the young but highly developed science of electricity. They determined to master its theories, to examine its workings, and to solve its mysteries. •«■It was with a feeling of awe and admiration that thi s squad of rats looked upon the dignified and learned Senior of that day. They anxiously heard him relate the wonderful happenings in the mechanical and electrical laboratories; how difficult were the subjects he studied; and how impossible it was for any one following him to graduate. With such encouragement, they entered the fight for knowledge. 1 l;ey plunged into the mathematics, English, and hi.story of their Freshman year with nmch success; gathering together Major Martin ' s points, Waller ' s sees, Daniel ' s enthusiasm, [Morrison ' s axioms and refer- ences, and Keitt ' s gentlemanly conduct. With such ammunition gathered from our Freshmen teachers, we entered upon our second campaign, and just here is where the trouble connnenced. In vain we charged the field of English, only to hear the mournful words, My! my!! and be charged with a zero. From this, some of our men became so deeply involved that they were forced to surrender: some, too, were carried away under the force of gravitation, while looking for the azimuths of surveying and the infinity of descriptive and analytical geometry. It is with no little pleasure that we recall the plea.sant periods spent in the .Junior Electrical Laboratory. There, for hours at the time, we would watch the sensitive De ' Arsanval g.ilvanometer deflect so as to be read to the one ten- thousandth part of an inch. In this year of sorrows and pleasures, we were connnanded in one of our subjects by the distinguished Captain Wright. Cap was pretty good to his men. and it was with some degree of sadness that we gave liliii up: though, sinci ' . ] v has deserted and is now refuget ' ing m (leorgia. Before we come to the grand summation of Integral Calculus, we must mention the fundamental law of Electricity, — I is e(jual to E, divided by R: so faithfully taught us by one who some day expects to star in the electrical business. In the biggest joke of the season. Daddy wishes us a pleasant vacation. On our return, we found ourselves confronted by the two old veterans, Saiiimie Ivirl and Walter Riggs. It was a hard fight: many times it .seemed as though oui passed xictoi ' ies wi-re to be swallowed uj) in an ignominious di ' feat, but finally on the first day of -lunc, !{)()(), the defence ' was bi ' oken, and the long looked for di])loma was captured and cari ' ied a ay. a ti ' oj)hy. T. F. B. I I X 189-t, one year after the opening of the College, the Young Men ' s Christian Asso- ciation was organized. The records of the Association arc very incomplete, and it is almost impossible to find out anything definite ; but we learn from various sources that the organiza- tion of the Association was largely due to the efforts of Mr. F. S. Brockman, tlien State Sec- retary, but now a missionary in China, and Prof. T. P. Harrison, now of Davidson College. These men, with some earnest students, souglit to bring together the Christian students of the College for spiritual improvement; and, as a result, the Y. M. C. A. movement was launched The first years of the Association were years of progress, and full of encouragement. Some of the most prominent students were identified with the work, and it became an important fac- tor in the life of the College. After this, there was a period when things were at a standstill. This condition did not exist very long. With the passing out of that College generation, another came in, which put new life into the organization. The classes of ' 03 and ' 0.5 pro- duced some of the best workers in the historv of the Associatioti. With this inflow of new life, new lines of work wi ' re undertaken. Some efiPorts Nere made toward lu ' i})ing new students. Bible study among the members was taken up. Per- sonal work was commenced, and gradually a realization of the true mission of the Association l)egan to dawn. Last session witnessed an important epoch in tile work. The efforts of the officers and other members began to provi ' effectual. Tliese efforts were crystallized by a visit from Nlr. W. D. Wcatlierford, the (ieneral Secretary of the South. As a result of this visit, the Bible Study enrollment was enlarged thout ' :200 per cent., and sti ' ps were taken for the installing of a General Secretary. Later in the session, the purposes and needs of the Association were brought before the Trustees, and a hall and 5iH) for furnishing the hall and for promoting the work was appro- priated. fSt This session has seen a marked advance movement. The Association was fortunate in securing for its Secretary ]Mr. Ray H. Legate, of the University of Arkansas. Mr. Legate has proved himself to be an efficient and energetic worker. Under his diivction, the diffi rent phases of the pui ' pose of the organi- zation are being (kneloped. The membership is composed of two chisses, active and associate. At present, it is the Uirgest in the history of the Association, the enrohnent being 209. Two pubhc meetings are now lield each week. Tlie prayer meeting on Wednesday evening lias been inaugurated tliis session and is proving very helpful to those who attend. The regular Sundav evening service is largely attended. This service has been the greatest means of reaching the greatest number of students, ome very helpful talks have bei ' ii given bv members of tlie Faculty, visiting ministers, and others. Bible Study is now the most ])rominent ft ' ature. The enrolment is larger than ever before, there being 179. These students are divided into groups, under the leadership of some member of the group. The weekly meeting of the groups are held in the rooms of the students. This session there are 16 groups. A four years course of systematic stmly is offered. Aside from the work that is being done within the Association, is the influ- ence that it is exerting upon the student body. It has gained for itself after strenuous efforts a high estimate of its purpose and worth from every student. It has uprooted the spirit of cant. And not onlv this, also it is slowly but surely implanting in the minds of all, that the highest type of manhood is Christian manhood. The ])ast record has been one of hard, sti ' eiuious, up-hill work; but the Association has graduallv moved forward all the time. With this to encourage us, may we look forwai-d to a brighter and more useful future. May the time soon come when the cam})us will be adorned with a building, whose spires sliall point men to tlie beaut ' of a highly developed ' ' soul, mind and body, and this building be known as the home of the Association ; when every student shall fully realize the uplifting influence of the organization and, as a result of its power, go forth trained and equipped to war against all forms of unrighteousness. J. E. JOHNSOX. lift V-, Cajipis Views A Scene I sat in a boat one evening, Just at the close of (lav; And aazed at the scene before me. Which stretched from bay to bay. At nearly equal intervals. Just as if set by hand, Stood the waving trees of cy])ress — Mournful sentinels of this strand. Down from the swaying branches. In festoons, long and gray. Was the moss continually swinging From morn till close of day. The water was waving slightly, Faimed by the ])assing breeze; Yet I could see therein clearly ' I ' lie shallows of the trees. AtuI at this I was gazing When lo ! Was I insane? For there in the space liefore me The bay was all aflame! I looked again more closely At this flame so graiul and jiroud. And saw ' twas the sun ' s reflection. As it came from out a cloud. Rut this soon vanished from me. For out upon the view [ saw a l)oat glide gently Across the waters blue. This caught at once my attention. For in the boat were two; And the girl was leaning tnwanl iiim — Just as she ought to do. But their words I caught not clearly. And all that I could sec Was, that they were a cou])le as loving As any could wish to be. While I sat there musing, I dosetl my eyes and thought Of the things tliat passed before me And of Joys so eagerly sought, ■' es, there were the wide waste waters. The cypress and the clinging vine. And yonder the flashing sunlight Like a halo all divine. Still nearer the lovers were floating — These two I had seen come on — .And I ojiened my eyes to behold them. When, alas! my vision was gone. C. A. GRAINtJKR. 130 Shakespere Prof. C . M. FriorAX. SINCE the SliakL ' spi ' i-ian revival in the middle of tlie ISrli century, tliere has heeii a vast expenditure of effort in the endeavor to penetrate the dark curtain which veils the personality of the world ' s greatest poet. Notwithstanding the number of the searchers, their enthusiastic industry and ])ainstaking ' perseverance, and the thoroughness of modern methods of investigation, the net result has been painfidly small. We are forced to the con- clusion that not only are we almost entirely ignorant of the man Shakespere, but also that the future does not seem likely to afford any furtlur light. We know more of Chaucer, who died one hundred and sixty-five 3 ' ears before Shakespere was born. We know a thousimd times more of Bacon, who was Shakespere ' s exact contemporary. We know as much of half a dozen petty dramatists, whose peimy candles were extiiiguislnd l)y the glare of the arc-light of his genius. He had no Boswell to make a loving record of his words, and there was no Pepys to embalm in an immortal diary the sayings and doings of him who glows without a rival in the firmaniiit of letters. We know, indeed, the place of his birth; the (hite of his christening; the date of his marriage: the names of his children ; a few fac-ts about his fatiier and mother, his brothers and sisters — nothing whatever of his education — nothing of his home or his home training- nothing of his character in youth and nothing of his character m after life, except « hat c may gather from his poems. We know, further, that he went to London some time after his mari ' iage, though we cannot fix either the date of his leaving Stratford or his reason therefor. We know, further, that in 1.5{)! , the play- right (ireene wrote a pam|)hlet in which he speaks of a I ' ixal di ' amatist, manifestl - Shakespere, in terms of jealous hatred; and, that shortly afterwards, Chettle, who had j)ul)Iished this pamphlet; after Greene ' s death, apologized for having done so, coupling with this apology praise for Shakespere, both as an actor and as a writer. In the following year, he appeared befoi ' e the ( ueen as an actor in the Lord Chamberlain ' s Company. He is mentioned for the last time as an actor in KiOS, just after the accession of James I. In 1598, Francis Meres enumerates twelve of Shake- spere ' s plays ; and, in a brief notice, compares him favorably with Seneca and Plautus. 131 There are, besides, a few business transactions in which liis name appears. A few years before his death, he is behevcd to liavc removed to his native village. He made a will, died and was buried in Stratford in KjK). And this is almost all we know of him. But when we come to consider the speculations about him, the traditional stories resting on no firm basis, the inferences drawn by the great multitude of ingeuius men who have undertaken by argmnent to prove what was probably true, we enter a boundless field, i)ut one altogether fruitless to one seeking certainty. We shall not waste time in considering the absurd Shakespere-Bacon theory, nor the poaching story told by Rowe a hundred years too late to give it authority as historical. Suffice it to say, that we must (le})end upon inferences drawn from his poems for all estimates of Shakespere ' s personality. Though, such inferences depend for their value altogether upon the men who draw them, and are as various as the characters and theories of the writers themselves. Tlie soimets are prolific ground for this sort of psychologic mining. As, however, we do not know when they were written, to whom they were addressed, nor whether thev were purely ideal or a ri ' cord of his own feelings, sober ci ' itics must perforce echo the anonymous (iei ' man writer quoted bv Barrett Wendell: Ignorannis, Ignorabimus. (We do not know, and we never shall.) Voltaire, Hugo, Coleridge and C ' arlyle — all have undertaken to help us see Siiakespere through their eyes. Each one of these is a type. Tlie first two, the leaders of the two gi ' eat literarv schools of 1 ' ranee — the Englishmen, among the broadest-nnnded and ))i ' ofoundest thinkers that our mothcr-i-acc has pro- duced. What A ' oltaire thinks of Siiakespere can be best ex])ressed by (luoting his own woi ' ds in that amazing criticism of Hamlet: I am vei ' v far, assuredlv. from justifymg in all things the tragedy of Hamlet; this is a pi ' oduction, coarse and barbarous, which would not be tolerated l)v the meanest mob in France or Italy. Hamlet goes crazy in the second act, his mistress in the third. The princi ' kills the father of his mistress, jjretending to mistake him for a rat ; and the heroine throws herself into tlu ' river. A ' i ave is du ' on the stanc. The a ' rave-di users tell })oor jokes while they hold in tlu ' ii- hands the skulls of dead men. Prince Hamlet respoiids to their abominable nlgai ' ities with fooleries not less disgust- ing. During tins tnne one of the actors comiuers Poland. Handet, his mother. and his father-in-law, drink together on the stage. Thev sing at the table. they quarrel, they fight, they kill one another. We must think that this woi-k is the pi-oduet of the imagination of a diMmken savage. Thi-. ridiculous 122 travesty of the greatest drama ever written sliows us plainly that we get no help from Voltaire. It is a self-revelation of its soulless author, but that is all. How, then, does Hugo interpi-et Shakespere.- Shakespere is the chief glory of England. England has in politics Cromwell ; in philosophy Bacon ; in science Newton — three lofty men of genius — above Newton are Copernicus and Galileo ; above Bacon are Descartes and Kant ; above Cromwell are Danton and Bonaparte — above Shakespere there is none. Shakespere ' s place is among the most sublime in that silent company of absolute intelligences who ever and anon form the crown of civilization, llohtiny; the human race with a wide radiance. Shakespere is legion, alone he forms the counterpoise to our grand French 17th century and almost to the 18th. With tliJit purple robe he drapes his country ' s shoulders. By his fame, he is universal and cosmopolitan. He overflows Ireland and egotism on every side. Deprive England of Shakespere, and consider how soon tiiis nation ' s far shining light woid l fade. Shakespere modifies the iMiglish countinaiicf and makes it beautiful. Hamlet, that awful being, complete in incompleteness, all in order to be nothing. . . He talks literature, recites verses, composes a theatrical criticism, plays with bones in a church-yard, (hnufouiids liis mother, avenges his father, and closes the dread drama of life and death with a gigantic point of interroga- tion. He terrifies and then disconcerts. Never has anything more overwhelm- ing been dreamed. Does this do more than give an idea of Victor Hugo. ' ' Of tlu ' man Hugo, and of liis literary and philosophical theories P Eloquent, vehement, scattering his su])erlatives with lavish hand; but only showing how Shakespere has affected him, when all is said. And now hear Coleridge, the student of all knowledge, art-critic, philoso- pher, metaphysician, great interpreter of his greater master: — Oh! when I think of the inexhaustible mine of hidden treasures in our Shakespere ; that I have been almost daily reading him since I was ten years old ; and that upon every step that I have made forward in taste, in the acquisition of facts from history or my own observation, and in the knowledge of the diff ' erent laws of being . . . that at every new accession of information, after every successful exercise of meditation and every fresh presentation of experience, I have unfailingly discovered a proportionate increase of wisdom and intuition in Shakespere. Clothed in radiant armor, and authorized by titles sure and manifold as a poet, Shakespere came forward to demand the throne of fame as the dramativ poet of England. His excellencies compelled even his contempo- U ' 3 raries to scat him on that tliroiie. Every critic puts on the seven-league boots of self-opinion and strides at once from an illustrator into a supreme judge; and, blind and deaf , fills his three ounce vial at the waters of Niagara and determines [)ositi ely the greatness of the cataract to be neither more nor less than his three ounce vial has been able to ix ' ceivc. ' I am deeply convinced that no man, how- ever wide his condition, however patient his antiquarian rescarccs, can possibly understand, or be worthy of understanding, the writings of Shakespere. The Englishman, who, without reverence, a })roud and affectionate reverence, can utter the name of William Shakespere, stands discjualified for the office of critic. He wants at least one of the senses, the language of which he is to employ ; and will discourse, at best, but as a blind man. I might contiinie indefinitely. Enougli lias been quoted to show that Cole- ridge, the most humorous of all those who have attempted the inter})retation of Shakespere, does not pretend to com})rehend, to grasp the man. And now let us listen to C ' arlyle — the man who himself sits among the seers and the })rophets, whose ordinary disc-ourse glitters and corruscates like lightning in a mountain thunder storm. This latter also we were to have, a man was sent for it, the man Shakespere. Just when that chivalry way of life had reached its last finish . . . this other sovereign Poet, with his seeing eye, with his per- ennial singing voice was sent to take note of it, to give long enduring record of it. Two fit men: Dante, dee]), fierce as the central fire of the world; Shakespere, wide, j)lacid, far-seeing as the sun, the up])er light of the world. Italy produced the one world-Aoice ; we English ha e tlu- honor of j)i ' oducing the other. . . Of this Shakespere of ours, perhaps the opinion one sometimes hears rather idola- trously expressed, is in fact the right one. I think the best judgment, not of this country only, but of Europe at large, is slowly pointing to the conclusion, — That Shakes])ere is the chief of all Poets hitherto: the greatest intellect who in our recorded world has left record of himself in the way of Eiterature. . . He is the grandest thing we have yet done. . . England, before long, this island of ours, will hold but a small fraction of the English: in America, in new Holland. east and west to the crv aiiti|)odes tluri ' will l)e a Saxondom covering great spaces of tlu ' globe. . nd now, what is it that can keep all of these together in virtuallv one Nation, so that they do not fall out and fight, but live at jieace in brother-like intercourse, h l])ing one another? . . . what Is it that will accomplish this. ' ' . . . Here, I say, is an English King, whom no tiiiu ' or I ' liance. parlia- ment nor combination of parliaments, can detliroiu ' ! This Iviiig Shakes))er( . . . We can fancy him as radiant aloft over all the nations of Englishmen, a thousand years hence. Eroiii I ' aramatta, from New ' ol•k, wheresoever English 124 men and women are, they will say to one another, ' Yes, this Shakespere is ours, we prixiuced him, we speak and think by him ; we arc of one blood and kind with him. ' C ' arlyle then does not attempt to explain Shakespere. He thinks him God-sent — born into the world to enlighten it, to make it nobler and better, lyle then does not attempt to explain Shakespere. He thinks him God-sent — born into the world to enlighten it, to make it nobler and better. It would be easy to multiply indefinitely such comments from those who are the greatest among Englishmen, but tliere is another side. Modern research has disclosed many facts in regard to the material used bv Shakespere. We know now the sources whence he derived the plots and many of the incidents of his plays. To what extent he made use of the old Chronicles of HoliiisIiL(l for his English histories, and of Plutarch for his Greek and Roman j)lays, to what extent he used the Mork of his predecessors and took whatever pleased him from the literary store-houses of Italy and France. His verse formation also, has l)een studied to sucli good ])urpose that we can by the verse tests approximately fix the date of nnicii of his work, and thus trace the ever expanding mind of the author through his own writings. Unfor- tunately, these valuable results have led many modern literary men to undertake a didactic tone, and to tell just how tlie plays came to be written as they are. These writers assume to sound the depths of Shakcspere ' s soul. Forgetful of Pope ' s warning, they do not hesitate to rush in where angels fear to tread. One of these has the temerity to declare that Shakespere was a pessimist when hi ' wrote his tragedies. Now a pessimist is a degenerate — intellectually or morally a monster. One should hesitate before applying the opprobrious title to any one, even to an Il)sen, or a Zola, or a Hardy. It seems to be the special property of men like Thompson, he of the City of the Dreadful Night, and of other demented ])ersons, for the most })art looked uj) in mad-houses. Shake- spere a })essimist ! ! The man that makes this charge, makes a business of editing Siiakespere ' s plays, and hails from Oxford. This one says, however, that Shake- spere recovered from his pessmiism : and, in later years, emerged from the valley of dark despair and entered upon the table land of hope and joy, evidenced bv The Tespest and Cymbeline and tlie Winter ' s Tales. But another of these Daniels comes to the front and informs us that the verse test shows that when ( ' ymi)ehne and Coriolanus were written, Shakcspere ' s genius was decaying: he was losing control of his j)en. This one hails from Harvard, and has written a book about Shakespere. The little man takes the great man up between his thumb and fore-finger as Glumdelclitch did Gulliver: turns him all around and then, with spectacles on nose, delivers himself of his critical estimates with all of 125 the asinine solemnity of Polonius himself. Oh ! these deliberate fools ! Shake- spere is declared by the last critic to be, not of course crazy, but of a diseased activity, with a marked tendency to insanity. This sort of literary criticism, of which we have a surfeit nowadays, comes from the imitation of an unfortunate vogue among an extensive school of scien- tific investigators, who attempt to tell first how the environment has fixed the type. This class has not only modified the ten connnandments to suit modern conditions — striking out the first five, rewriting the seventh and eighth in accord- ance with modern divorce court decrees and modern methods of finance, ignoring the ninth as impracticable, and removing the ' ' not from the tenth, but has provided to abolish God as an anthropomorphic Hebraism. Their attitude towards an author of the Kith and ITtli centuries is distinctly patronizing. They are putting together the bones of a megatherium, pointing out the usefulness of certain parts of the anatomy since their former owner had abandoned swim- ming for climbing. They are explaining the amiable traits of the modern donkey by a reference to the habits of his tertiary ancestors in the mountains of Abyssinia a few thousand cycles before history begins. Tile heaven-sent theory is nuxie to give place to the earth-born, and the final statement is to depend on the nature of the cerebral convolutions of the man who is squinting through the microscope. To see men of this kind laying their sacreligious hands on the divine Shake- spere is shocking in the extreme, — to see him measured by the inadequate stand- ards aff ' orck ' d l)y their own self-consciousness, while these little great men dog- matically assert their own superior vantage ground, and disccmrse of the inward feelings and hidden motives of a man so much greater than themselves that their highest glory should be to tie his shoe-strings ! These critics ap})ear to take themselves quite seriously, but certainly we do not find in their shallow judgments, contradicting one another as they do continu- ally, the light we are seeking on Shakespere, the man. Let us revere the mystery which we cannot pierce. Let us give ear to the oracle and abandon the vain thought that our five fathom line can sound the Atlantic.

The padded moleskins have been packed away, and we are now discussing the merits and demerits of the battles that have been fought on the gridiron tliis fall. Some of us are rejoicing over the victories that we have won over our opponents, while there are some who are not at all satisfied with the results of the season. As we turn to our fellow-students, we ask: Was the season of 1905 a suc- cess.? or was it a failure? We can say it was a success in every sense of the word. While it was not so great a success as we have had in the past, still we are proud of the standing which Clemson has attained this season. Out of over twenty Southern Colleges in the Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, the Clemson Tigers rank third from the top. That is to say, that on the grid- iron, the Tigers have proved themselves superior to seventeen Colleges. That is a record which every true-hearted Clemsonian should well be proud of. At the opening of College, last September, the question heard on every side was: What kind of a football team are we to have this fall? In many minds, there was serious doubt as to whetlier Clemson would be able to produce a team equal to those of former years. Several of our ])layt ' rs had graduated or had 133 left College for different reasons, leaving several important positions to be filled. When it was found out that ( ' apt. DeriMck, our all-Southern tackle, and C ' ochenis, the former Wisconsin star and Coach, would he the leaders of our team, tlu ' n we were assured of success. During the first pai ' t of the season, we were very much handicapped by the hot weather and by oni ' or two injuries to our men: and, therefore, the team was rather slow in getting into condition for the approaching game with the University of Tennessee. Our first game, with Tennessee, was played on our campus, October l th. Our ()))p()nents had already })layed two games, and this ])ractice. in addition to their superior weight, and a number of old players back, gave them a decided advantage. Throughout the forty minutes of ])lay, both team.s played fast, sna}j])y ball ; and every inch was hotly contested. The Tigers kicked off to ' I ' enui ' ssee, and, bv continued hne plunging and end runs, carried thi ' l)all to the opjwnents ' five-yard hne; but lost it on a fmnble. Tennessee kicked to the centre of the field. After two attempts, the Tigers could not gain the re(|uired distance, and were forced to kick. The kick was blocked, and the ball bounded back towards tlu ' Tigers ' goal, after which it took only ;i few line smashes to take the ball over the goal for the first touchdown. Score: Teiniessee, 5; Clem- son, 0. The half ended with the ball in the centre of the field. In the second half, the Tigers went at the Tennessee men with a ' u and smasli that could not be stopped: and, in a fiw minutes after the half had begun, Clemson crossed the visitors ' goal, but failed to kick the pigskin between the posts. Score: Tennessee, 5; Clemson, 5. The ball see-sawed up and down the field until near the end of the half, when the Tigers, after continued line smash- ing, carried it to the one-yai d line, only again to lose it on a fumi)lr. The game ended in a tie. The following Saturday, we lined up against the Univei ' sity of (ieorgia. l he day w;is a little too warm for football : and, as oui ' tt ' am was a little lu ' a ler than the Crcorgia l)()ys, the jjrospects of a victory seemed to be in favor of the Clen ' son rigers : but they were not over-confident, and went into the game pre- j)ared to have the hardest kind of a battle. Clemson n ' cei i(l the kick-off, and began a steady stream of line smaslies that could not be sto])|)ed by the Georgia Crackers; but the Tigers claws seemed to have been clipped, and time ami time again they fumbled the ball when a touchdown was in sight. The first half ended with Clemson f) : (ieorgia 0. In Ihe second half, Clemson went Into the game with a determination to blot out ;dl mistakes of the first half. And right well did thev succeed: for tlie 13i half ended with 9 points to Clenison ' s credit, making a total of 35 to Georgia ' s 0. The Georgia team was very light, hut they made up their deficiencies by grit and speed. Only three times during the whole game was Georgia able to make first down, while the Tigers were held only once. Next came the game with the University of Alabama. It was played on Wednesday, during the State tair at Columbia. At 11 o ' clock, the two teams trotted upon the field; the Alabama boys had a little advantage in weight, and every one looked for an exciting contest. The ground was very soft, which made fast playing impossible. The Tigers ' goal was in danger of being crossed but once during the whole game. Tlic feature of the game was the way in which every Clemson man helped tiie rumur with the ball. Time and time again the Tigers would be tackled by Alabama, only to be pulled and yanked along by the Clemson men, who were ever on tlic alei ' t. The m;iiuu ' r in wliich tlie entire team worked together has never been excelled in the South. After the dust had cleared away, the Tigers had another scalp hanging to their already well filled belt. Clemson, 26 ; Alabama, 0. ' J ' lie fourth invasion of thi ' Timers was ay-ainst Aiil)iirri, November 11th, at Auburn. The Tigers had not forgotten the defeat at tlie hands of this very team the season before, and tliey were determined to get revenge. The two teams were eveidy niatclud in weight, and every one thought that there would be a mighty scrap foi tiie laurels. Aul)urn won the toss, receiving the kick-off and defending the east goal. She tried the Tigers ' hne, and, after three at- tempts, was forced to surrender the oval to demson. Not many minutes of play had (■la[)sed, l efore I ' X ' ery one on the side lines saw tliat tlu ' Clemson ' I ' igers had every thing their own way. The game was a rather slow one, on accoiuit of the very sandy field; and, before the first half was over, darkness was fast falling on the battle ground. The first half ended with the score of SO to against the .Vubiirn boys. The second half started off with a rej)etition of the first, Clemson going through Auburn ' s line almost at will. Onlv ten minutes had passed on this half, when the game was stop})ed on account of darkness. The Tigers being able to add (i more ])oints to their !20 of the first half, making it J26 to in favor of Clemson. At no time during the game was Clenison ' s goal in dangi ' r of being crossed. The work of the whole Cli ' mson team was very fine, such kicking and push- ing as the Cienison men put up was too nmch for her grittv opponents. The next game which Clemson was scheduled to play was Vandcrbilt. While no one expected Vanderbilt to be defeated by Clemson, yet we did hope to hold her down to a closer score than had any other of the Southern Colleoes this 135 season. The hcftj ( onimodoros had tlic advantagx ' over the ( lemsoii Tigers at every point of the game. We liad to ride over four hundred miles to Nashville, and any one who is familiar with the conditions of football will tell you that such a distance is entirely too far to go to play a game, especially when you arrive only a tew hours before the game. Then, too, ( lemson was going up against a veteran team. Every man on it had been a ' varsity player for four or five years, and that is the greatest advantage any team could have over another. There were five or six men on our team who had never been in a scrimmage before this year. By the way in which the game started off, everyone thought that it was going to be a tight scramble for the victory. The C ' lemson men were fighting for all that was in them ; but it was not very long before the Tigers were forced to give way under the assault of the heavy, experienced veterans that they were battling against. The first iialf ended witli a score of IT to against the ( ' lemson ' J ' igei s. The second half started oH ' with both teams determined to fight harder: but the big Vanderbilt team fought the harder of the two, and in the cour.se of the 25-minute half, the C ' onunodores had rolled up an additional 24 points to the seventeen of the first half, giving them -il — 0. This is the largest score the Tigers have had against them in their history of football. riie last, and the most important game of the season, was with the Georgia School of Technology, in Atlanta, on ' J ' urkey day. Tiiis game was to decide who should havi ' the honor of falling into line just l)el() anderbilt ; in other words, who should lia c second place in the S. I. A. A. lore interest was taken in this game than in any other one in Dixie; and, there- fore, by the time the game was to begin, the thousands of supporters of each team had well filled the grand stand, bleachers and side-lines of the park. A greater crowd attended this gami ' than attended any other game in the South. The chances of victory Mere about e ' en. The C ' lemson nun were slightly bruised from their game with A ' andy on the preceding Saturday. At !2.S8 ( ' apt. Clark, of Tech, and ( ' apt. Derrick, of ( ' lemson, went to tlu ' centre of the field to toss up. ( apt. Clark was the luckv man, and decided to kick-off to ( ' lemson. At tiMO the i eferee ' s whistle signaled the begimiing of tlu ' great battle. Clark kicks off only ten yards, and a Tech man falls on the ball. It is now Tech ' s ball in the centre of the field. ' I ' ech goes into the Tigei- line with a great deal of force; and, after trying doui)le })asses,fake through centre, tackle over tackle, they managed to get the ball within four or five inches of Clemson ' s goal, ' i hey have three trials to ))ut it across. The ' I ' ech men aim their attack 136 against our line: and, wlicn the smoke lias cleared away, after three heavy charges of her backs, the ball i.s found back about four 3 ' ards from the goal line. Tech has failed to carry it across, and it is now Clemson ' s ball. The Tigers rush the pigskin uj) the field for about thirty yards. Here the Tech Yellow Jackets make a brace, and the Tigers are forced to give uj) the pigskin after three attempts to carry it the required five yards. Tech ao ' ain begins her fast and varied attack on the ( lemson line, and the Tigers give wav to the Yellow Jackets; and. finally. i)y a dchiycd pass through centre, a Tech man is shoved across for tlii ' first touchdown, and kicks goal. Score: Tech, 6: C ' lemson, 0. It retjulnd ciglii nnnutcs to perform this feat. On the next kick-off, Tech received the kick and brought the ball to tlu ' middle of the field, and tiien she was forced to kick. Tlu ' (lemson ' IMgers began a march for the Yellow dacki ' ts goal, which was about 70 yards in the distance. The attack from the ( ' lemson Tigers on the Yellow Jackets ' line was so fierce that they had to give way. Yard by yard was being gained by tlie Tigers, until the ball was in the centre of the field. Tin next |)la was a tackle over tackle buck, and the ' ellow Jackets flew open, only to be gone through bv a Tigei ' , with the ball under his arm. The result of this play was 50 yards and a touchdown, (lemson failed to kick goal. Score: ' I ' ecb, (5: (lemson, . ). For the remaindi-r of the half the ball see-sawed up and down the field. The hal f ended with the ball in the centre of the field. Hoth teams began the second li.df with renewed energy. ( ' lemson kicked-off to Tech, and, l) a hard, and stead pla , the Cllow .Jackets were ai)le to make another touchdown: but failed to kick goal. Score: Tech, 11: ( ' lemson, 5. Then, after see-sawing u}) and down tiie field, the Yellow Jackets, in the course of about ten minutes, made another touchdown bv a quarter-back kick. Thi was the third touchdown and two goals 1) - the ' ll()w .Jackets. [ this stage of the game the ' I ' igers were fighting w itii fire in tliiir eyes, while the op})onents were becoming weaker under the strain, ( ' lemson iiainmered her wav to within ten yards of Tech ' s goal : ;uu], on the next play, a Tiger was sent through the centre of the line, and a touchdown was the result. Ck ' Hison failed to kick goal. After several more plays in the centre of the field, the game ended with the final score, 17 to 10 in favor of Tech. Thus ended a mighty struggle, wliicli settled tlie second-place honors of tlu ' S. i. A. A. ' J ' he Tigers ' hats ,ire off to the Yellow- Jackets. A. G.

He brings his great right arm around, The awful deed is done; The umpire wears a knowing look. And calmly says. Strike one. Once more the pitcher takes his stand. There ' s mischief in his eye; He spits upon the seamless ball That zig-zag curve to try. And now the man unwinds himself. The ball goes swift and true; This time the umpire steps aside And hoarsely shouts, Strike two. The pitcher ' s arm is now made bare, A smile beams from his eye; For twice the batter ' s fanned the air. And failed to knock a fly. And now he strains that brawny arm. And twirls the ball about; The umpire waves the man aside And loudly shouts, You ' re out. F. B. McLAURIN. 140 Our 1905 Base Ball Record WITH only one of last season ' s ' varsity players back at College, it seemed an impossibility to put out a winning team; but the Clemson Tigers (leterniined to do their best with tlu- material they had in hand. Karlv in the season a mass meeting of the corps of cadets was called, at which a very urgent request was made of every cadet, who could even throw, to come out and try to help to get out a good team. This call was responded to, and a large number of contestants for the various vacant positions on the team was enrolled by the Manager. The season ' s work was begun by light practice in the gynmasium untd the weather became warm enough to work outside. At first, the prospects for a pitcher were very gloomy; but this gloom soon disappeared when Cheatham, Routh, and Means began to show their abilities. Coach McINIakin was hailed with delight by every member of the corps ; not oidy because he himself was an old Clemson Tiger, but also because they felt that under his tutorship they would be able to defeat any team, and especially the team coached by the unconquerable Heisman. Coach realized that he had a hard task before him ; so he set to work with great energy, and soon had the men out in uniform and working smoothly. 141 ] Ic]Makin ' s Tigers were first put to the test on our campus by the Univer- sity of Georgia. With eight new and inex])erienccd men on the diamond, the Tiger.s could not defeat tlieir oj)])()uents, l)ut iield them down to a close .score of three to two. The next game was played on the campus with Erskine College. The Tigers clearly outclassed their opponents at every stage of the game; and, at the end of the battle, the score .stood eight to tin 11 their favor. This, our first victory of the season, counteracted the defeat given us by the (Georgians, and put new life into the team as well a.s the corps. At the end of anoth er week, we were to fight the hardest battle of tlie season, with ' I ' rinity College. This was a fine team, ami the Tigers had no hope of winning from them. The game began and was hard fought to the ninth inning, when, much to the surprise of every one, the score stood three to three. It was agreed to play until the tie was broken ; so another inning was played without either team scoring. In the next inning T. L. Bissel won the game by base hit, scoring one man and making the final score four to three. The game was undoubtedly won for Clemson by IJissel, who rapped the invincible Bradslier for three hits — a single in the second inning; a three-bagger in the fiftli inning, scoring a man ; and a single in the eleventh inning, which scored the winning run. The next two games were played in INIacon, Ga., with ]Mercer College. The first resulted in defeat for the Tigers by a score of two to nothing; but defeat was soon changed to victory, as the result of the next game, by a score of six to one. ' I ' hen came the game of the season. The Tigers met the Heisman aggre- gation of Ga. Tech. at the Tech park in Atlanta. At the beginning of the game, it seemed as if it wouhl i)c a victory for Clemson ; but Hie Techs gradually climbed uj), until at the end of the ninth inning the score stood five to four in their favor. Fate would not let us suffer another defeat at their hands; for the second game resulted in a victory for Clemson, to the tune of five to three. After the ' l cli game, came the contest with Newberry College, at New- berry. This team proved imcxpectedly strong, and defeated the Tigers by a .score of three to one. On account of a contrail that Coach Mc]Makiii had macK ' , he left tlu ' team ill Newberrv unik ' r the care of 11. 1 ' . Sitton, who acted as Coach the reiiiainder of the season. Out of fifteen games ])layed, we won six, lost light, and tied one. Vllile the record is not so good as it has bei ' ii, we extend to Coaches McMaklii and Sitton our congratulations and our highest a])j)reciatioii of what tliev did for our team. 142 The following is a list of the other games played: At Spartanbui ' g — Clenison, 10; WofFord, i.

Scliillcttrr for the imtiriiio; efforts that lie has always put forth to do all in his power for their com- fort. ' heii we look back to our days at Clenison, we shall remember Shortic as one of our very best friiMids. His marked ability in his line is well shown by the fact that he was able not only to take the farmers of South Carolina under the shadow of his wing, but to cater to the taste.s of five hundred ladies at the Sununer School. No wonder that the boys are so fond of him. His genial smile and pleasant remarks will be mis.sed by us all. 145 Track CI K]MSON COLLEGE, almost from its beginning, has had a most envi- able athletic reputation : yet this re})utation has been won and held entirely on the baseball and football fields ; and so, only a few of the boys, comparatively, liave had any part in the winning, the majority having to content themselves with standing on the side-lines and rooting. It seems somewhat strange tliat, in a corps of six hundred cadets, hardly more than half a dozen during any one season have thought the results of track athletics wortli the trouble of going through with the necessary pei ' iod of training. The Athletic Association had jirovided a good (|uarter-mile track, with liurdles, vaulting standards, and other apparatus for field sports; but, until last season, no one had had the least thought of Clemson ' s sending out a team. Per- haps this was because there had Iteen no one of sufficient experience in field exer- cises to take the lead and arouse a ])r()per amount of interest. Fortunately for this branch of athletics at Clemson. tlie College faculty, at the beginning of last session, acfjuired a new member. Pi ' of. F. H. H. Calhoun, a graduate t)f the 146 University of ( hicago, and for several years the fastest man on the University track, where he fairly won his C. Prof. Calhoun readily consented to take charge of track affairs ; and, early in the season, issued a call for recruits. A large number responded, and a track team was at once organized, with E. R. Mclver as Captain, F. C. Wyse, Man- ager, and A. S. Heyward, Assistant Manager. There being no gymnasium for preliminary work, the men were taken on runs of gradually increasing length; which soon got them into fine condition for regular work. Just at this time, the Manager received a challenge to meet the University of Georgia Track Team, at Athens. This challenge was promptly accepted, and twelve of the most promising men were selected to represent Clemson. On April 17th, this team went to Athens with hopes of bringing away a few of Georgia ' s points. The longer track experience of the Georgia men was strongly in their favor, however; so in this, our first meet, our men had to he satisfied with three first places and five second. Mclvcr made first place in the high jump, and first in the broad jump, while Furtick won first in putting the shot. Furtick also came out second in the lianmui ' throw, low liurdles. and pole ault. Cannon carried off the second honors in the -t-tO-yard dash. The Athens meet was somewhat disc;)uraging to most of the students, who had become accustomed to seeing Clemson almost always first in matters athletic. Yet, the members of the team reali cd that they could not reasonablv expect to come out ahead at the very first meet ; and most of them were well content with scoring even a few points in an actual inter-collegiate contest. The new gvm- nasium, although rather small for the j)urposc. cannot be other than a help towards keeping the men from stagnating during the winter. Witli o large a body of healthy young fellows for material, and with the interest and encou- ragement of the instructor, there is every ])rospect that, in the usual Clemson way, we can soon send out a team that will be the equal of any in the South. A. G. Ellison. 147 Charles Donald Clay OVn Commandant, whose interest in all of our uiulirtakings has won for him a place in the esteem of the i)oys, enjoyed by few men filling his posi- tion. Since Captain Clay first became our Connuaiidant, he has been working incessantly for the comfort, training, and general welfare of the student body. We wish liim success in his future efforts, hoping that he will receive the hearty co-operation of the succeeding classes. Furthermore, we wish to express our sincere thanks for what he has done for us in the past. 149 Regimental Staff Regimental Staff C. D. Ci.AY, Commandnnt ' V. V. Bartox, Jr., Reqimenldl Adjulctnl ().

MiC S-2 183 Farewell IT is with a feeling of commingled joy and sorrow that we take our leave of Cleiiison and her surroundings; of the man3 objects that have become familiar to us by four years, and in some case five years, of constant contact. We say joy, because the world seems to be awaiting our coming to fulfill the missions for which we have been preparing; because everything looks bright and inviting, seemingly waiting for the toucli of the trained hand and the co-operation of the ready mind to yield the enchanti r his reward. We are, every man of ns, to enti ' r our chosen fields, to rise or fall by oui ' merits or our demerits. It is this, the natural love which man has for combat, whether it be mental or physical, that makes us joyful at the thought of entering the strife for success. On the other hand, the sorrow wellnigh overweighs the joy; for we leave a place that we have learned to l() -e. We go out from the known to the unknown, which, in itself, to the iminitiated, sounds ominous. We wring the hands and look into the eyes of the conu ' ades who have for four years marched shoulder to shoulder with us, both literally and figuratively, and bid them farewell. Some, we will see often, as our work may keep us in closer contjict with them than with others; others, it will be years, and ])Ossibly decades, before we meet them again. It is id youth, wlien character is being molded, that we form the fastest friend- ships. These friends, we shall always be glad to see; but who knows when we shall meet again ' : ' ' J he change from the militai-y to the civilian will, in most cases, be hailed by us with gladness; but there are a few who enjoy the strenuous existence neces- sai ' d ' led by those who t;ike armv life as a profession. But all of us w ill miss, pleasantly or otherwise, the ring of the bell, the sound of the bugle, and the connnand Fall in. Regularity, punctuality, and ])romptness, will always remain to us as valuable souvenirs of our militai ' v training. To those who foster them, they will be of int ' stimabk ' alue in after yeai ' s ; and no one. however care- less, wdl completely lose tluMU. Those of US who are members of the literary societies, will leave this part of our College life with a genuine feeling of regret; for it was proijably in the literary socii ' t v that we have gotten our most wduable training. Ti ' aining that in after life will be of value in any vocation; for what goes far ther to aid a young m. ' u: thai: to be able to face his fellow-man, either singly or in crowds, and to express his opinions f ' orciblv and logically? The exercises of the ouiig .Men ' s Chi ' istlan Association and the Sundav school, which ha c kept many from 184 ei-ring during thcii- College life, and which have been of sucli inestimable value to the whole moral tone of the institution, will be sadly missed by those who were regular attendants. The athletic field, which has furnished physical exercise on one hand, and mental rest on the other, and, to those who have been persistent, has given the bold and manly c:irriage, the quick eye, the trained hand, and the stalwart muscle, will always be remembered with pleasure : not only by those who partici- pated, but bv those who, from dis inclination or some other reason, watched with interest from the side lines. No more shall we meet together in the Chapel the night before the fo()tl);dl team leaves, to sing songs, to hear speeches on athletics, and to cheer our team on to victory. It is with a feeling; of great sadness that we bid farewell to our friends in tile lower classes, — men with whom for one, two, or three years we have been inti- mately associated in all of the phases of work and of pleasure. To some of these men we liave become very nnich attached, and leave them with almost as much sorrow as we part from one another. We can only give tliem the brotherly advice, to persist and complete tlieir course of work. To the Faculty, in parting, we wish to say that we realize, and that we thank them for, the interest which most of them have ever shown in the welfare of the student body. This interest has been more strongly exemplified by some members than by others, and our a})preciation is in proportion. However, we believe that almost to a man thcv arc iiitcresti ' d in the undertakings tliat we liave at heart. We believe that they are backing us in our spiritual, mental, and physical enterprises, — the Y. M. C. A. and the Sunday school, the literary socie- ties and .ithietics. As we close, we ask that they show increased mterest in the work of our successors. T. E.
