In the dim uncertain future, When the years have passed us by, Will recollections of the Past, Be accompanied by a sigh? Or will the memories reminiscent Of our lives bring no regret, Will our attainments be as many, As we fondly now expect? Has each man fulfilled his duty, Living up to ideals high, As a retrospective glance, At his well-done work he steals? Or has he long since realized, That, as Life ' s race is nearly run, His boyhood plans for the Future, Must forever remain undone?

Ack, Doctor, Bigman or Sapphirus when spoken in his vicin- ity never fails to elicit a response. He is a genius and the largest one in cap- tivity. His favorite pastime is read- ing and rolling the bones, or playing a solo on a piccolo comb trombone. His only authentic previous history is that of a hobo. Doc has poetic instincts which if nurtured and given proper attention, would make him famous. He should have been on the Track Team as he is very fast on his pins. On one occasion he outran Capt. Clay in a 200 yard dash by ten seconds, crossing the north gangway at full speed, like a hunted cat on a rail fence. JOHN EDGAR ALVERSON, Enoree, S. C.

Phosphorus or Phos, so nick- named on account of his brightness, is the ideal electrician of modern times. Phos is considered one of the best drilled cadets in the corps, and has made himself thoroughly familiar with military tactics, which he reviews every night after taps. He is not in love, however, but he will seme day have a vi e like an almanac, that is so he can get a new one every year. Phos is thinking of getting a job at some prep. school as commandant and teacher of how to make electrical no vel- ties. SAMUEL ELDRIDQE BAILES, Fort Mill, S. C. Poetry. Prose and Fiction.

Senator. like other literary men of genius, finds inestimable and unending amusement in perusing hundreds of pages of ancient literature. The library record will tell his tale both as to quality and quantity. The happy smile and unsophisticated expression which always beams from his ruddy face 5 to something better beneath. His face reveals plenty of obstinacy, mingled with a sprinkling of level- headed common sense : but he has a hankering for sesquipedalion words in writing and speaking.

Exodus, as he is commonly called, has discovered the remarkable patent food for pigs which will revolutionize the hog-raising industrv. that is feeding them on corn- stover. He has gained the distinction in the class-room of never calling a thing by its proper name, and has advanced the wonderful idea that the pyramids once walked out of Egypt. A more brilliant horticulturist than he has never lived, for he has discovered the art of converting garden peas into spinach. 10 ALFRED THOMAS BEAVER, Augusta, Ga.

' ' Sandy ' ' has many good traits, one of which is self-reliance, which Emerson said is the basis of good manners. Selfish is the man who throws himself upon foreign assistance. Sandy needs no guardian. He is not hard hearted, but next to the Cadet Exchange, he is the hardest proposition to beat this side of the Dead Sea. JESSE OSCAR BETHEA, Tatum, S. C.

O. is fond of taking exercise, but prefers taking it at some other time than reveille. He has great faith in sleep as a panacea for all ills. Finding farm life un avorable for the expansion of his dormant abilities, he applied for per- mission to enter Clemson College. J. O. can talk well on any subject, whether he knows anything about it or not, but devotes most of his ti ne to investigations regarding the exact amount of sleep required by the human mechanism, he is developing plans for exterminating the squash bug in the United States. 11 HENR HERMAN BRIN50N, Orangeburg.

Corps extension! sings out John- nv in his deep, bass voice, and the corps comes to extension. Of course it ought to be corps attention but Johnnv talks with a certain lisp and can ' t sav it right. His heart always fills with rapture when it comes his turn to call the corps to extension. His athletic figure and handsome face never fail to melt the stonv hearts of the female division of society so Johnny is bound to marry an heiress some day.

In name and stature his nickname Gun is very appropriate; but in no other sense. He is a giant without his fierceness, a smiling Willie without friv- olity, and a lover devoted to his cause. A man of reputable habits, conservative views, and an adept at love making. His numerous letters flood the mail bags and furnish reading matter for dozens of the fair sex throughout our dear Palmetto State. Though of voting age, his interest in public affairs is far from that of a politician. ROBERT BOWEN CARPENTER, Easlev, S. C.

He has never been known to disturb anyone, except that he creates an inward sensa- tion to those with whom he speaks, his voice resembling that of a maiden. Being tender-hearted, he often displays untold sympathy lor dumb animals, particuarly on one occasion, when he found a rat in his pudding at dinner. He will some day be employed as a chorus girl in The Tenderfoot. 13 FREDERICK PORTER CAUGHMAN, Columbia. S. C. .4 merry heart makcth a cheerful countena; Corporal. Quartermaster. Sergeant.

De- spite the fact that he retains many of the characteristics of his rat vear. Rat stands well with the ; and the girls dote on him. Has occa- sional fits of abstraction, during which he sometimes studies. He is especially devoted to veterinary science, and what he does not know about the subject may be found in almost any text book. Like the lilies of the field. Rat toils not. neither does he spin — except when he receives orders to distribute arms to the corps of cadets. BEVHMIN HARRISON COVINGTON, JR. Bennettsville. S. C. i titer that! to be ; s. ral; Y.

At the pre- sent date, he is said to have read 02 1_; volumes, including government year- His success is notable along other lines, but pre-eminentlv in the part he played in diffusing a military spirit among members of the Bloody Corps. Had the organization con- tinued, he would undoubtedly have been appointed corporal. Hass spends his leisure hours making practi- cal investigation regarding the arrival of the psvcological moment with the fair sex. and is recognized as an author- ity on the subject. 14 FRANKLIN JACOB CRIDER, St. Matthews, S.

Crid ' s sole redeeming features are a becoming blush and an illuminating smile. Otherwise, he is considered quite hop less, notwithstanding the fact that a. few far-sighted individuals predict that he will some day become governor of South Carolina. Is much given to oratory, and his stentorian voice can olten be heard swaying the multitudes of the Columbian Literary Society. Crid has spent considerable time proving that man is not descended from the monkey, but from the kan- gar. o. Will marry within one month after leaving college and run for the legislature during the next campaign. FRANK WELLS CRISP, Laurens, S. C. Cudgel thy brains no -more about it.

Crip with restless hand will sweep all opposing controversists from his path, while he himself remains cock of the walk. Do not be surprised, ladies, when Crip, instead of lifting his hat to you, nervously takes off his shoe, for he is by habit a nervous youngster. His learning, like the lunar beam, affords light, but not heat. How fluent non- sense trickles from his tongue ! Some people call him sweet. Good-bye. Crip will always be on time, for the bank closes at four. 15 EDWARD PARKER CROUCH, Charleston, S. C. What thou art, we know not: What is most like thee?

Heinie is called the funny one; but. by this, do not mistake him for a monkev. Many are amusing, but few are funny. Heinie can always remem- ber that good nature and good sense are inseparable. Good nature is the product of right reason. With thy clear, keen joy and laughter cannot be; Shadow of annoyance never came near thee. SAMUEL JONES EZELL, Spartanburg, S. C. V. M. C.

' s greatest achievement at Clemson consisted in the removal of Frenchman lrom the Civil Seniors and Germany from the Agricultural. He is a natural orator, having acquired the art while pulling the ribbons over Mike. He has since greatly enlarged his vocabulary while engaged in this pleasing pastime. On one occasion, he was forced to the painful necessi ' y oi greasing a buggy wheel with butter. 16 BELTON BONNER EZELL, Cherokee, S. C.

B. bears a striking resemblence to Napoleon — in size. He takes life easy, never worries, and is partial to breakfast foods, brunettes and dime shows. His specialty is flirting with the girls, breaking many hearts, and building numerous air-castles in the feminine minds. In accomplishing this, B. B. has contributed wonderfully toward developing the post card sys- tem, and is said to require a special car- rier to bring his mail. His prospects for a brilliant military career were blighted in Soph, but have partially re- vived since he became a member of the bloody corps. RUPURT HOWARD FIKE, Spartanburg, S. C.

Cheeky Rube, the noisy rambler of the class, may very appropriately be designated one hundred and seventy pounds of pure and unadulterated nerve. This musical mountaineer has a holy horror of Pendleton, S. C, for reasons best known to himself.

A soul with but a single thought, who walks like he is stirring lemonade with himself. Judge is extremely religious, very punctual, and just as frugal as he can be. He can be wooed, and won, ladies, by cooing at him. We. therefore, often find him in lonely solitude singing ditties. He eats to live, and lives that he may study Geology. Also we sometimes hear of Deb talking in his sleep. MARION JACOB FLNCHESS, )rangeburg. S. C. Why can not lb sweet pas ust as wt II be out 0} ' lie world, as to be out oj the fashjfn.

Funch. the coming chemist of America, is an active member of the Chemistry Club, and will be chief anal- yzer of fertilizers for our dear, old Palm- etto State. Funch is a moving figure in the Ananias Club, and has faith- fully performed his part so far. His low-country speech and the sweet silvery peals of laughter that he lets out at times makes him a tit subject for an end man in a minstrel show. F or the last four years Funch has divided his time between studying Col. Hardin and writing to that pretty little girl he left behind him in Orangeburg. 18 EARLE V1LLARS QARRETT, Barksdale, S. C.

E. V. or Wild West spends half of his of time writing letters to his girl, and the other half in the typification of the cow-boy. He is very fond of telling his experiences as a civil engineer in West Virginia, and when once started on thi, theme he has been known to talk for hours without ceasing. He can tell almost as much about the economic possibilities of civil engineering in West Virginia as Professor Harper can tell about tobacco growing in Ireland. Will get married in twenty days after graduation. WILSON PARHAM GEE, Santuck, S. C. When the stream runneth smoothest, the water is deepest.

Wilson was captured and partially tamed somewhere among the hills of Union County; but his domestication has not even been entirely completed since entering Clemson. Wilson stands well with the faculty, yet when his grade falls below 99.51, he thinks the professors cherish malice against him. Much of his spare time is said to be occupied in supplying Professor Harper with information concerning Siooo.oo jobs His military career was short, but exceedingly brilliant. Despite the excellent quality of work he has done while at Clemson, Wilson, is a wild and dangerous character, and will bear watching at all times. 19 JAMES DC PREE GRAHAM. Sumter. S. C.

Tommy has acquired the sobri |uet of Lord Chesterfield, owing to the fact that he is considered the most graceful and gallant man in the class, and also from the fact that he is perhaps the best dancer in College.

He is a flirt , and though too modest to acknow- ledge the fait, the girls dote on him. He has undoubtedly broken many heart, and will bear close scrutiny by the fail- sex. After graduating.

Johnnie is a man who has exerted his talents and made something of him self. It cannot be said of him that he was influenced by pride or cowardice to sit in a corner and growl; but, governed by a high sense of honor and a conscious- ness that he was right, he was never afraid to. face any man and abide by his honest convictions. He sits high in all the people ' s hearts; and that which would appear offence in us, his counte- nance, like richest alchemy, would change to virtue and to worthiness.

He will lie missed in the good old C. A. C, for his long, military strides and his mute way of singing. He has the distinction at the veterinary clinics of being able to pre- scribe for only one kind of disease, that is, for a hungrv horse. Among his many accomplishments may be men- tioned song-writing. He is the author of the hundred-verse ballad, Oh, de crown him Lord of all.

C is the only living example of this unique species. He has done noth- ing startling in his four years residence here, but has pursued the even tenor of his way, absorbing some little agri- culture and a great deal of smoke. Like his side partner, Sam Ezell, he can exrectorate with marked skill and unexcelled accuracy. C.

G. or Bert, as hismost inti- mate friends call him, is the most con- scientious man in college. On one occa- sion, being unavoidably late at drill, he reported himself on the Company delin- quency. His favorite pastime is hunt- ing either birds or minerals. In him we find a rare specimen, a combination of a military man and at the same time one who is popular and well liked by those over whom he has control. He is noted for his obedience o. orders to the letter, as was evidenced by A Com- pany ' s unmovable attitude ofs attention during church services, after 1 the pub- lication of the orders to the effect that the corps would be at attention during Chapel services. 23 MARVIN REA KIMBELL, Rock Hill, S.

Marvin ' s friends have hunted four long years for a suitable nickname for him, but as he was never found wanting. they haven ' t succeeded as yet. He is a good-looking chap and quite tidy in appearance, his trousers never lacking the crease so seldom seen in barracks. Marvin has been accused of being in love, as he has been caught often sitting alone in his room in meditation. He was a prominent stockholder in The Bloody Corps. but on its going into bankruptcy he made an on cial state- ment that he would withdraw from mili- tary politics altogether. He stuck to his word.

Yes, a living, loving hero, who blushes rose red at the smack of a kiss, and who gained renown by plunging into the fatal waters of love and saving from a terrible fate, a fair- haired maiden with dreamy eyes. Tell him about it and he will blush. Bill ' s weak points are bashfulness and sleepy- headedness. He once tried to make love from a book, but the wind turned the pages and he finished his speel by quoting from an a dvertisement of Hor- lick ' s ' Malted Milk. Of course, he always attends reveille. When he dies his epitaph will be: He is not dead, but sleepeth. JAMES CARROLL LABORDE, Bookman, S.

Lab never could get along with Geology, however; and it is very doubt fid now whether he can tell the difference between a stalagmite and his father ' s cow-barn.

He is erro- neously called quiet by those who know not of the great extent of his vocabulary when engaged in a hotly contested argument of the relative merits of the different modes of baptism.

Judas, a man of literary taste, has distinguished himself on several occa- sions by his inability to articulate clearly an alliterative expression.

Science teaches us that all higher forms of life have been evolved from some lower form; and, in accordance with this natural law, has the dignified senior of ' 08 been evolved from the verdant freshman of ' 04. When we stop and look over our record during the past four years, we are confronted with the question: What have we accomplished ? ' ' We shall leave that for others to answer ; but as a mere matter of record we here briefly review the periods through which our class has passed. The class of ' 08 started operations on the eighth of September, 1904, when the largest class in the history of Clemson, number- ing 252, assembled to struggle for that much-sought prize, knowledge. Though large in numbers, we were otherwise small, being compelled to spend the entire year in servitude by the tyrannical upper-classmen. The journey through which we were led was long and toilsome and full of sorrows, so that many became discouraged and gave up the fight. June arrived in due time, though, and the survivors returned to their homes, happy to enjoy a rest ; but, on the other hand, eagerly looking forward to that time when they should return to college and call themselves old boys. In September, 161 of us returned to perform even more diffi- cult tasks than those of the preceding year. Whether we were better prepared to meet these tasks we are not prepared to say, but we managed to make a most creditable showing against heavy odds. We won the class foot-ball championship, defeat- ing the seniors 5 to o. We were well represented on the foot-ball, baseball and track teams, in the literary societies — in fact, in all of the various college activities. It was during this year that we made a name for ourselves as being THE Class, and have managed to maintain that position till the present day. Our Junior year opened with bright prospects. 118 of our merry band returned to college, but this number was diminished by the mighty ravages of exams to 90 at the close of the year. As in the preceding year, our class did her part in helping the college to victory in the various branches of athletics, in main- taining the standard of the publications, and in forwarding the 53 work of the literary societies. Again we won the class champion- ship in foot-ball. With the innovation of a champion class track team, we demonstrated our superiority in that branch of sport, winning the cup with ease. June came with the terrors of exams, but at last, that which we had striven for so hard for three long years had arrived — the dignity and the glory that crowns like a halo the head of a Senior. With the Senior year came the good fortune of having a new commandant in charge, who granted us even more(?) privileges than any other Senior class ever enjoyed. Still, our successes did not end with the Junior year; for, our class, always exempli- fying the spirit of the motto, United we stand, divided we fall, ' ' forcibly (?) demonstrated the truth of that proverb in the cham- pionship game of class foot-ball. The Freshmen, having defeated all other teams and though spurred to action by the support of practically all the under-classmen, were defeated; and, as usual, victory perched on the standards of the Seniors. This was only one of the many pleasant incidents which occurred during the year. Since the class of ' 08 has been ushered upon the field of learning, it ' s number has been diminished about sixty percent.; but notwithstanding this, it is proud of the fact that it will turn out the largest class ever graduated from Clemson. What the future has in store for each of us we do not know, but having successfully passed through this pilgrimage we feel as if we are equal to the more serious tasks of the journey through life. However, we must not forget that commencement day is to us but the introduction to the beginning of life ' s struggle. And now as we are about to take leave of dear Old Clemson, ' ' may we always look with the greatest pride upon the days spent at our Alma Mater.

From the mountains to the seacoast, Fmm the four winds of the heavens. Came the youth of Carolina: Came the young men of our nation To the land of Clemson College, In the foothills of the mountains. Where the autumn days are stillest. Where all nature seems the fullest: Came to learn of all the wisdom Of the wise men and the prophets. Who are gathered there together. From the bleak and frozen North- land. To the home-land of the south wind. From the broad and heaving ocean. To the mountains of the sunset. In the darkness of the midnight. When we reached the land of Clem- son. Came a youth bedight in feathers. With his hunting knife girt on him In a sheath of solid silver. By a belt of finest wampum. Came and hastened with us straight- way. To the chieftain of the nation. To the great and mighty chieftain Of the land of Clemson College, Sitting dressed in robes of wampum In the midst of all his council. While his war chief sat beside him In his brilliant paint and feathers. Overcome with fear and trembling. Bent we thrice before their presence, 58 Till our foreheads smote the carpet Made of skins of bear and beaver. Signed we documents and papers, Knowing not the contents of them, Till our hearts grew faint within us, And our weary eyes were dimmed. Gave we them our finest wampum, Gave them beads and furs and ponies, All the treasures of our mothers, All the riches of our fathers, Till, at last, our sole possession Was the clothing then upon us. Then they made us run the gauntlet Past the young braves armed with war clubs, To the space before the wigwams, Filled with trunks and heavy bag- gage. Carried we their trunks of leather, Carried beds and rolls of blankets To apartments that seemed higher Than the tallest pine or hemlock, Till the east began to redden And the new day burst upon us. In the moons that fleetly fol- lowed. In the half light of the morning, In the heat and glare of noon-day, In the darkness of the midnight, At all seasons and all hours, Like the beaver in the spring time, Worked we for the youths and chieftains. Water for the young braves brought we. Beads and peace pipes to them gave we, Tunics, moccasins, and leggings, Cleaned we at their slightest nod ; Mended wc their bows and arrows, Polished spears and knotty war clubs. Danced and sang we when they listed, Fought or peace made as they told us; For tarred and feathered were we, If we dared to say them nay. Thus, the harvest season flitted, Passed the wind and snow of winter, Till the buds and blooms of spring- time Gave way to the fruits of summer. In the glorious days of summer, Midst the singing brooks and rivers, Midst the birds and bees and flowers, Forth to home and kindred sped we, To the homeland of our childhood. With a joy, yet a sadness, With mingled feelings and emotions, Back to Clemson then we hastened. Not a trunk or bed we carried, Not a pail of water brought we. Mended were our bows and arrows, Polished were our clubs and hatchets, Filled our pouches of tobacco, Nicely spread our beds of rushes, Neatly mended all our clothing. Lifted all our cares and burdens, 59 Swiftly passed the moons of summer, Passed the days of early autumn, Days of happiness and pleasure, Days of beauty and of joy, Till the harvest moon was fullest, And the college year upon us. Back to college, friends, and comrades, With a sorrow, yet a gladness, Lifted by the rats of Clemson, By the new- youths at the College. Entered we the sports and races. Entered all the games and contests. Foremost were we in athletics, In all manly sports and struggles. So, year passed for us the quickly. With our pranks and with our mis- chief. With our scrapes and tribula- tions. With our learning and forgetting, With our cramming and our stud Till again the seasons flitted And the summer was upon us. All too short and all too fleeting Were the joyous days of summer. And again the moon of harvest. Found us in the land of Clemson. To the sages and the wise men. To the old men and the chieftains. Paid we heed and close attention. Paid we careful thought and study, Treasuring to heart their sayings, Slowly drinking in their learning. Just thev were and full of mercv (?! [°] For our ignorance and denseness, For our boyish pranks and troubles. Art and science soon they taught us, In their varied forms and branches; Taught us divers occupations, Taught us legends and traditions. Told us tales of greatest wonck Tales of marvelous adventure. Tales of mountains caught afire. Tales of lands beyond the sunrise, Tales in which a million moons Seemed like the passing of a moment. Tales of animals more mighty Than the grizzly bear or bison. Taller than the oldest pine tree, Length and breadth of like propor- tion, Showed us plaster bodies modeled From the trimming of a toe nail. Xot once ever deviating From the pathway of the truth (?!?), Till our very souls expand d With the learning that they taught us Passed again the seasons swiftly, Passed the autumn and the winter. Till the singing birds of springtime Find us toiling here at Clemson, Striving harder, harder, harder, With each coming day and season, To prepare ourselves more fully For the life that lies before us; So that, when the great Yanitou Calls the tribes of men together. Calls the paleface and the redskin. Calls all nations and all classes To the land beyond the sunset, To the land that knows no winter, We may be fit with him to enter Into ' ' The Happv Hunting Grounds. G. W. K..

Although this work is very hard Let not one sigh be given, That all may praise and honor bring Upon the Class of ' n. On September the 1 1 th , one of the jolliest crowd of boys that was ever brought together arrived at Clemson. This bunch of youngsters are the men who compose the class of ign. There were enrolled in our class at the beginning of the session, ninety Agricultural and one hundred and sixty Mechanicals. This is one of the largest classes that has ever been at Clemson. The following officers were chosen at our first class meeting: R. H..McFadden, of Rock Hill, President; W. H. Hankel, of Charleston, Vice-President, and B. T. Rice, of Boswell, Secretary- Treasurer. These are all strong men and under their leader- ship the Class of 191 1 ought to be one of the best that was ever graduated from Clemson. There are not many large men in our class, but we are well represented on the athletic field. Several of our classmates were on the foot-ball squad and three played on ' varsity ; two of them won block C ' s. We were also well represented on the track and base-ball teams. Our class foot-ball team was one of the best that has ever been at Clemson. We played two games with the Preps, the first resulting in a tie. In the next, which was played about a week later, we simply ran away ' ' with them. Our men seemed to take on new life and played for all that was in the game. When the whistle announced the end of the 69 History of the Class of 1911 — Concluded. game the score stood 17-0 in our favor. This proved to the other classes that we had a team that would have to be reckoned with. In the final game for the championship we plaved the Seniors, and while we were defeated — the score was 5-c — we were more than satisfied with the showing that our team made, and it will encourage us to go into the contest all the harder next year. Our college work has been very satisfactory so far. The first term examinations and longings for home have decreased our number to about two hundred, but nevertheless the percentage of failures is smaller than that of the class of last year, and we are are proud of the fact. Though our diplomas are a long distance from us. and the pathway is jagged and full of obstructions, we trust that when the year 191 1 arrives we shall have climbed the precipice, and be there to receive them. There are undoubtablv a great many geniuses among us who will some dav prove their worth as statesmen, orators, writers, agriculturists and engineers, and men of distinction. Let us unite our efforts and work for the betterment and uplift of our class. Let every man feel that he has a personal duty to -m. and go at it with a determination to accomplish some- thing. Let us leave behind us a record of which me may well be proud and an example for succeeding classes to follow. If we succeed in doing this we can then, and not till then, feel that we have reallv accomplished something for ourselves and for our Alma Mater. It is now up to us to take advantage of this great opportunitv. Let it not slip from our grasp, and it is hoped that when the tocsin is sounded at the end of our college course it will be the signal for us to strive onward, ever onward. to nobler and better things, and for the development of our beloved State and country.

Senior Harvey: It varies from three to sixteen inches. Prof. Harper: Mr. Lunn, discuss dry moisture. Senior Lunn: Dry moisture furnishes the plant with most of its water during droughts. Prof. Nourse: Mr. Lewis, how much corn stover would you feed to a pig three months old? Pike Lewis: Forty-eight pounds per day would make a balanced ration for it. Nap and Wamp were turning the hand cotton gin, with poor results, when Professor Newman made his appearance on the scene.

Hendricks, By its property of starching litmus. Soph. Ross to Soph. Laurence: What does the Prof, mean when he says residue? Laurence: That stuff that flies off. Dr. Brackett to Soph. Nickles: Mr. Nickles, as you failed on last month ' s work because you never answered anything on the review, and as to-day is the last time we will meet this session, I will give you the easiest question that can be asked. Will you name the grouping reagents? ' Bob, after thinking a little while: Prof., I don ' t believe I remember but one of them. Dr. Brackett: The very idea; but better one than none, so let ' s have it. Bob : Sulphuric acid, but I don ' t remember the formula, so you need not ask me that. Dr. Brackett. in his usual voice: Leave my room! Senior Rice, looking at the bulb of a thermometer : Say, Pete, why does that platinum rise when the thermometer is put in the solution? Wise: Why, ' Tunk, ' where have you been all this time? That is not platinum, it is lead. Col. Hardin, after becoming very impatient with Soph. Nickles, for never answering a question correctly, asked: Mr. Nickles, do you know in w hat three states matter exist? Bob very promptlv, Yes, sir. Col. Hardin, Well, for mercy sake, let ' s have it. Bob in a rather loud tone of voice: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Prof. Henry to Soph. Teague: Mr. Teague, What is meant by oxidation? Teague: Ox means a beast of burden ; T is a relative pronoun denoting the person speaking; ' dation ' is a Greek word signifying ing burn, so the meaning is I burn the beast of burden. Dr. Brackett, explaining the meaning of a normal solution, gave the Juniors to understand that it was like the following illustration: All blue birds can sing, but not all birds that can sing are blue birds. Senior Ryan to Dr. Brackett: Prof, do the men in the Met- allurgy course get enough essaying (assaying) to enable them to work the platinum gold mines of Russia? Dr. Brackett: I am not familiar enough with the English course to know how much drill they have in essays; but, even if there was such a thing as platinum gold mines, essays would have nothing to to do with working them. Senior Kirven in Chemical Lab.: Prof., Do you know where I will find that bottle of carbon dioxide? Dr. Brackett: No, sir, I guess vou will have to make up some Junior Hyrne, on beginning to take up quantitative analysis, asked Dr. Brackett to give him a new desecrator (desiccator) Electrical Department.

Soph.: The juniors study athletic (analytic) geometry. Rat: When a number is taken twice it is doubled, when taken thrice it is troubled. Prof. Houston informed the senior civils that they would have to work out that dam problem before next period.

' ' It did please Captain Charles Donald Clay, of the United States army and the erstwhile commandant of the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College, in his wisdom to cause to be formed on or about the ninth day of June, A. D., nineteen hundred and seven, and in the one hundred and thirty first year of American Independence, that illustrious organization officially known as the Hospital Corps, familiarly known as The Bloody Corpse. But after a short, brilliant existence, it did not please Captain Josiah C. Minus of the United States Army, commandant of cadets of the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College, and by his explicit and imperative orders, the above mentioned and aforesaid organization was disbanded. Cities have risen and fallen, countries have risen and fallen, continents have risen and fallen (per Calhoun) and in no wise was the Bloody Corpse immortal — it rose and fell, and great was the fall thereof. Immediately after the formation of this organization, Captain Clay, having at heart the well being and comfort of these men (senior privates) assigned them to the Bowery, the basement floor of the new barracks, so as to give them his careful, personal attention. The members of the organization feeling that they could not spare the time for Captain Clay ' s social calls, registered a violent kick and requested that they be given the second floor. After a long controversy, a compromise was effected and they were assigned to the top floor, commonly known as the Buzzard Roost. In the quiet seclusion of this aerial paradise, they remained until the following orders fell like a bomb into the quiet (?) camp. HEADQUARTERS CORPS OF CADETS. Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College, Clemson College S. C. September 24, 1907. General Orders No. 5. Paragraph i. The Hospital Corps is hereby discontinued, and the privates thereof will be transferred to companies, to take effect Wednesday, September 25, 1907 at reveille. By order of Captain J. C. MINUS, U. S. A., Commandant. At the quiet, midnight hour, following the publication of this order, the last sad rites of the Bloody Corpse were solemnized. Many eloquent speeches, relative to the one time glory of this great organization, were made by various members, after which the men went sadly to their rooms, singing that grand old hymn, God be with you till we meet again. 123 Misses Sloan, Sponsors.

Neverthe- less, it is well for us to take a re- trospective view of the merits and demerits of the many hard-fought battles, and see for ourselves wherein we may rejoice and he glad. The Tigers fought well for old Clemson, and deserve the rank bestowed upon them by prominent football authorities in the South, that of fourth place in the Southern Intercol- legiate Athletic Association, a place which should make the heart of even- true Clemsonian tingle with pleasure and pride. This means that out of the twenty Southern Colleges forming the Association, Clemson ranks fourth; that is to say, on the grid- iron, Clemson has proved her superiority over sixteen other institutions. When the squad reported for practice on Bowman field in September, there were a number of old men missing. Among them were Furtick, Derrick, Lykes, Carter and Keel, all good men and experienced. These men had been the main stays of our football team for a long time, and their loss was a severe blow; but duty called them elsewhere, and they had to leave, carrying with them the best wishes for as much success in business as they had had in athletics. The new men who reported were very light and inexperienced, but when it was found out that the invincible Captain McLaurin, our all Southern tackle, and Shaughnessy, the former Xotre Dame, star and captain, would be the leaders of our team, then we took heart and were assured of success. During the first three weeks of practice, the men proved their football ability by following every word of the coach, by being 136 possessed with the right spirit, and by playing football. It can be said that never was a team possessed with so much deter- mination as the Clemson Team of 1907, and this determination, coupled with the efficient coaching of Mr. Shaughnessy, trans- formed the bunch of men into a veritable machine. The first few games were with Preparatory Schools, foremost of which was Gordon. This team played the game of their lives against Clemson, and succeeded in holding the Tiger score down to a meagre five points, while they themselves were highly satis- fied with a great big goose-egg. We make no apologies for this small score, as Gordon had a good team and fought well. In the next game, we beat Marvville College by the score f thirty-five to nothing. Then Tennessee sent her team here and, by a drop-kick, scored on Clemson, and beal us. But this was not a bad beat by any means, and we had the satisfaction of know- ing that Tennessee was glad when the whistle blew for the end of the last half. The next three games were pulled off in rapid succesion, so rapid in fact that two defeats were registered against us, David- son and Auburn. The Tigers left Clemson on Friday, for Col- umbia, where North Carolina was defeated by the score of fifteen to six; from Columbia, the team went to Auburn, Alabama, where the Tigers were defeated ; then Clemson played Davidson on our campus, and another defeat was registered against us ; but only by a mere fluke were we beaten. These three games were pulled off inside of a week ' s time ; and anyone who is familiar with the 137 conditions of football, will tell you that three games are entirely too much for a team to play in one week. The last, and most important, game of the season was with the Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day. The game, if won. would place Clemson way up the line in rank, and. if lost, would but dismiss the thought, for we wox. The day was rainy and the field, ankle deep in water, but even on this kind of field, we were able to show our superiority over the Techites. When the whistle blew for the end of the last half, the Tigers were in possession of a victory, the score being six to five. That very evening, the team celebrated the end of the season at a banquet in Atlanta, and the boys at Clemson had, what is appropriately termed, a Big Day. It may well be to say just here, that football at Clemson has been a success from the very beginning. Below we give a brief summary of football happenings since 1896: Games played by Clemson 68 Games won by Clemson 44 Games lost by Clemson 17 Games tied 7 Points scored by Clemson 1,296 Points scored by opponents 366 138 WEARERS w n i yy ' y OF THt k i T W$ W 139 140 Scrub Line Up.

Dr. Calhoun entered the University of Chicago in the fall of 1894. In the freshman year, he made his C by winning the mile run in an intercollegiate meet. During his second season, he ran both the half and the mile . and . in the last two years , the Varsity team being weak in the hurdle events, he represented it in the high and low hurdles and the pole vault. During his senior year, he was captain of the track team. His records are as follows : 4-48 in mile; 2-1 in the half; 1 7 1-5 in high hurdles; 27 in low hurdles and 9 feet 9 inches in pole vault. In the fall of 1904. Dr. Calhoun took up his work at Clemson. This date marks the real beginning of track work here. Under his able direction, a start was made which has placed our team on the high plane that it now occupies. Clemson is indeed for- tunate in having a man of Dr. Calhoun ' s ability to take charge of this branch of athletics. The whole corps appreciates his work in behalf of our team, and wish his stav here to be a long one. 14G V ERY little was known of track ath- letics at Clemson prior to the year 1903, when Wylie, Killian, Whitney, Mclver, Furtick, and Hanvey came to the front and made some good records. The beginning of this branch of athletics, however, may well beset at the year 1905, with the coming to Clemson of Prof. F. H. H. Calhoun. Only one meet was arranged for that sea- son, that one being with the University of Georgia, at Athens; and, as might be expected, it resulted in a defeat to Clemson, as she was entirely outclassed by the team from the older institution. However, the season of 1906 brought fortune to Clemson, and she redeemed herself in grand style completely turning the tables on her rival of the year before. During the season of 1907, four meets were arranged with the following institutions: University of Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, University of South Carolina, and University of North Carolina. In the first of these meets, Clemson suffered defeat, largely due to the efforts of Georgia ' s invincible sprinter, Lipschutz. Fritz Furtick, for two years captain of the Tiger team, was an all around star; and, as usual, placed a good number of points to his credit. The next two meets proved easy victories for Clemson, the score with the Georgia team being 71 147 to 37, and that with the South Carolina team 96 to 12. The last meet of the season came off in grand style, and at no time was it possible to foretell the result of the contest. Xot until the last race was over and the points stood 55 to 53 in favor of North Carolina, could the supporters of Clemson realize that they were beaten, and beaten by the turning of one point. This defeat may be accounted for in part by the fact that the Clemson team had been through the strain of a meet only three davs before, and had not. at that time, entirely recuperated. Bright hopes are entertained for the season of iqo8: and it is expected that Captain Spratt. the undefeated high-jumper, will lead his men through a career brighter than anv of former vears. 148 Track Records. ioo yards 10% seconds J.

The crowning event of the track season of 1907 was the Field Day exercises held on the first of May. Instead of giving the usual prizes for such occasions, Dr. Calhoun decided to give to the class whose representatives won the greatest number of points, a Trophy cup, and to the individual winners, gold and sil- ver medals. This proved very successful, for it stimulated a friendly rivalry between the classes, and brought out the greatest number of contestants ever seen on Bowman field. The day was ideal for track work. A great crowd of spectators, and a fast track keyed the contestants up to the highest pitch. Beside, the regular events, three relay races of two, four,andeight laps were run between the various Class teams. This proved to be the most exciting part of the programme. The ' 08 team car- ried off honors in the two and four lap races, while the eight lap event went to the ' 09 team. The final result left the Class of ' 08, victor, their score being 54. ' 09 came a close second with 39 points to her credit, while ' 07, ' 10, and ' 11 followed in the order named. The individual winners were as follows : 100 yard dash Warren, ' 08 Shot put [16 pounds] . . . Furtick, ' 07 Two lap relav .... Class of ' 08 Lee, Poag, Martin and Caughman 220 yard dash ....

Gymnasium. Physical culture is, in most colleges and universities, a part of the curriculum; but as yet the supporters of the orange and purple have needed no such incentive to remind them of their duty towards themselves. September nineteen hundred and five marks the beginning of gymnastics at Clemson ; and, since that time, no other branch of athletics has grown so fast with such a limited amount of means. The response of the student body when the doors of the gymnasium were first opened was such that accommoda- tion for less than one-third of the applicants could be furnished. The great good accom- plished during the first year by the untiring efforts of the students, combined with the systematic and skillful coaching of Pro- fessor F. H. H. Calhoun, went to show the necessity of a gymnasium of the modern type at Clemson. With a very meager ap- propriation at the begin- ning of the second vear, a few valuable additions were made, including a chest- weight, and a punching- bag; but, when an institu- tion like Clemson is taken into consideration, these are a mere pittance. The creditable performance given by the gymnasts at the end of the second year, is an uner- ring pointer to the benefits that might be derived by the entire student body had we a larger hall, more apparatus, and a swimming-pool. 153 -J 154 F.

Never in my experience in baseball have I seen such an intelligent, hard- working and faithful aggregation of players as the Clemson baseball team of 1907. Starting the season with only one experienced infielder, two veterans in the outfield, and Captain Bissell behind the bat, it could be seen that a Hercu lean task was in order to develop a winning team. Then add to that the injury to our plucky little captain, that disabled him the greater part of the season. One first class pitcher was all that could be developed from the candidates for the posi- tion, and this man owed his success mostly to determina- tion and absolute attention to all directions given to him. The infield, through the hardest kind of work, soon became machine like in its playing, and was probably as good as any in the South. The outfield was subject to frequent changes throughout the season, owing to injuries to members of the infield, necessitating the shifting of a man from the outer garden to the inner circle. But it was in headwoik, and the pulling off of unexpected plays, while at bat and on the bases, that the Team showed its class, and, made Clemson a foe to be respected by all her opponents. The Team did not win the State cham - pionship, but defeated the best teams in the State and the South. The games lost were fought to the end; and, as baseball is about the most uncertain of all sports, it happened that when plaving the team 157 that won the pennant, Clemson was under the influence of a slump that is liable to occur at any time to any team. We under- estimated the strength of Erskine. and that was probably the reason we didn ' t win out. However, we are sportsmen enough to give the honors to them which they fairly won without a single defeat by a State team. The 1907 Team, as I have above stated, was a plucky one; and some members of it will probably be on the team that repre- sents Clemson in iqo8. We hope that their example will bring the same degree of ga meness to the new men ; and we firmly believe that under the favorable conditions now existing, the State championship will go to the Tigers in 1908.

Our general secretary , who has been associated with us for the past three years, will ever be remembered as the one continually laboring for our welfare. He has ever placed before us a living example of a rich and fruitful life, and not only given as an insight into all that stands for the highest and best best, proved that one can consistently live an active, joyous, Christian life but he has been an inspiration to all coming in contact with him. He has helped us to make an effort to count for something in this world. No one ever came to him seeking a friend and counsellor, but he received the right hand of sympathy and fellowship. We cannot but feel that in after life many of us will still be able to discern in our lives and characters the silent but lasting influ- ence of his life. 175 V. M. C. A.

Our Foreign Representative, Chas L. Boynton, Shanghai, China. We are about to step forth into the busy, strenuous, exacting life of the world. As we look back over our college associations, and those influences which have so largely controlled us for the past four vears, many will think of the Young Men ' s Christian Association as one of the chief factors. The work of the asso- ciation was not so extensive as it should have been when we first entered Clemson, but it has been gradually expanding and developing. The beginning of this forward movement may be traced to the spring of 1905, when the decision was made to employ a general secretary for the following year. Mr. Ray H. Legate of the University of Arkansas, came to the college in this capacity in the fall of 1905. Perhaps the most effective and far-reaching work has been along the lines of Bible study, not only bringing us, as it does, in touch with the real spirit of the Bible, and forming a better conception of the reasons for studying it, but developing habits of daily devotion which will last throughout future years. The fact that 450 men are at present enrolled in Bible study is signi- ficant. It shows that the student body is becoming aroused to the need of a greater knowledge of the scriptures. No interest was taken in mission work till the spring of 1906, when our mission study class was formed. Much attention has been 177 given since then to securing forceful speakers, especially from the foreign field, and to the collection of mission literature. Important as is this work of educating the student to the need of the foreign field and the opportunities of those in the homeland supporting those at the front, equally important is the securing of men who will devote their lives to service in the foregin field. Ten are at present members of the volunteer band. The Sunday evening services are a great privilege, setting before us the ideas of men who are devoting their lives to prob- lems which vitally concern mankind. Recognizing its place in preparing men for contact with others, social life has been encouraged by the association. The advantages resulting from our contact with each other at times, in a social way, should also be taken into account. Of inestimable value is the opportunity for engaging in prac- tical Christian work during the formative period of one ' s life. It not only developes the habit and desire to continue in this work after leaving college, but it also furnishes the experience necessary to promote it in other places. It strengthens the moral and spiritual natures, and promotes a broad unselfish interest in humanity. If we are to reach the consummation of our effi- ciency, we must develop habits which will remain with us in after years. Each has a work to perform, a service due humanity , a preparation for eternity. The objects of the Young Men ' s Christian Association are broad and comprehensive. It is an organization of departments, all of which contribute to the purpose of the Association, which are, to lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ, as their divine Lord and Savior, to lead them to join the church, to promote growth in Christian faith and character, and to enlist them in Christian service. It should also develop a happy, wholesome Christian spirit, raise our conceptions of life, and bring us out of the narrow confines of ourselves into the world as a social being. Many of us will go out from College, strengthened and fixed in our purpose, through the influence of the Association upon our lives. We will be able, undoubtedly, to spread around us that influence, which we would not otherwise. We wish that the work of the Association may go on and on, deepening and perfecting the lives of coming generations of students.

Schilletter has been one of indefatigable workers for the 1908 Taps He has sacrificed a great deal of time and labor for us, and we are grateful to him. The Commissary General, as he is called, is beloved by every one on account of his genial spirit and lovable disposition. He is the same to all and is an ever ready friend in the time of most need. Shorty is not a man to laud himself, therefore few know of the great work he has done. ' More than four score have left here indebted to him for their education. He has been a father to many a poor boy ; and there are those who feel that they can never repay him for the interest that he manifested in their welfare. Honesty of purpose, noble instincts, and a self-sacrificing disposition, are three characteristics of which any man might well be proud. All honor to him, when we look back upon our college life, we will always remember him as our best and truest friend. 181 JSt, $ .

On a fast, west bound train, was a feeble, gray -haired old man, whose anxiety to reach his destination, could be seen by his restlessness and continued gazing from the car window. A sweet faced lady behind him said, ' ' May I ask sir, where are you going? As he replied, a glad light shone in the wrinkled face, and lighted it as a halo. When were you there last ? When I was there I was young and gay and light-hearted, and straight and strong. Xow, the accumulating burdens of the years press heavily on me, but O how glad I am tonight! How glad, because I am going back to my old school. As it was Field Day when he arrived, he found great prepara- tions in progress in the college community. The barracks windows dispalyed hundreds of penants. The cadets thronged the halls, crowded the windows, yelled, cheered, and yelled. The Soph-Senior class rush was to take place that morning. Some of the boys were almost covered with colors. Even-where were members of the old classes. Some stood on the brink of the beautiful white marble fountain, and cast bits of food to the gold fish. Visitors in crowds went from one building to another. Ever} ' class up to the present year, save one. had its represen- tative there. Xowhere in all that assemblage of waving banners and cheering masses could a man of the grand old class of ' 08 be seen. Did you say not one was seen ? Who is he with the gray hair and the benevolent face? See him as he stoops. The hill is as long and as steep as it was mam- years ago. He stops. Xow he is up. Curious eyes see him enter a room in the second barracks. The inmates, who have not left for the field yet, rise and extend a welcoming hand to the aged stranger. He does not tell them anything at first, but just rests in an easy-chair He meditates; everywhere, even- thing is different. A changed picture greets his eye as he looks from the window. At length he-said to the boys, I ' m the last man of the class of ' 08. I want to see the place again. The venerable student drew from his pocket a black and maroon pennant, worn and faded. The nearest boy snatched it from him and waved it from his window. Hurrah for naught-eight! We ' ve got the last cadet! Juniors! Juniors! ' 67! ' 67! ' 08! All the Juniors near by rushed in. They took him on their shoulders and carried him all over the campus, through and in and out of the big concourse, down to where the dense pack of people, automobiles, horses told them that here was to be the struggle between the Sophs and the Seniors. More and more Juniors crowded around him, and the 184 cheer of his old class, which had long been hushed on the grounds rose again and again as man after man took it up and seemed to carry it over the hills and far down the valleys. From the hills and valleys swelled the news all over Clemson ' s country that one of ' 08 was there. The two opposing classes commenced. The crowd cheered itself hoarse, songs were sung by strained throats, hats went high in the air. Banners — handkerchiefs waved. The whole crowd seemed to have gone crazy. Old ' 08 was all in a quiver of excite- ment. The blood coursing in his veins seemed as hot and as fiery as it was fifty years ago. Now, the victory seemed to go to the Sophs; now, to the Seniors. The Juniors cheered the Sophs. ; the crowd, the Seniors. What will they do? Who can say? One poor fellow fell and was badly hurt. In the rush they came very close to the veteran cadet. Too close, he fell, they crushed him down, trampled him, passed on. They made a small ring around him; tenderly they raised him. Slowly and carefully they carried him to the Juniors ' room. He opened Jiis eyes, murmured a few words and closed them again. The last man of the grand old class of naught-eight had passed to the great beyond. 185 How Does It Seem to You? It seems to me I ' d like to go Where bells neither ring nor bugles blow. Where clocks do not strike nor shrill gongs sound. And there reigns but stillness all around. Yet not stillness, but just the trees ' Low whispering or the hum of bees. Or brooks faint babling over stones. In strangely soft and tangled tones. Or may be some cricket or katydid. Or songs of birds in the hedges hid. Or ' twere some such sweet sounds as these. To fill a tired heart with ease. Oft ' times it seems to me I must Just leave the old college din and dust. And wander where the sky is blue. And sav. now. how does it seem to vou? 186 George Washington ' s ' 1 ' 1 Dream. J George Washington ' s name is not George Washington; it is William Smith. George Washington is an honorary title applied to the gentleman for reasons perfectly obvious to those who know him well. George is a bright, but shiftless, young Clemson cadet, who has marvelous dreams and visions and who performs wonderful feats — when no one is present to witness them. I shall now relate one of his experiences, as nearly as possible as I heard him tell it. One night, after having taken an overdose of philosophy, ancient history, and ethyl alcohol — the latter in the form of Lewis ' 66 — I fell asleep in my chair before the radiator, and was soon fairly launched upon the sea of dreams. In this vision , if such I may call the strange fantasies that followed, my mind soared out over seven thousand years of the dim, uncertain future, and finally came back to earth in the year of our Lord, 8908. Strange to say, I felt not at all out of place; but accepted all changes as naturally as you please. I spoke the universal language, as if I had known it all my life, and found not the least difficulty in exercising the strange powers of mind and will so common to the day. I fullv realized the unreality of so-called material things, and well knew that one could make things what he would. Thus, as the dav of living in material houses was past, I proceeded to imagine for myself a magnificent man- sion, (having of course, a pyramidal, effect), with appropriate grounds and gardens. In my visions, I was sitting upon a rustic seat in my garden, lazily puffiing away at an imaginary pipe, and enjoying the lovely prospect, which extended as far as the thoughts could reach. Suddenly, as I puffed up an especially perfect ring of imaginary smoke and watched it float lazily upward, I noticed a commotion among the sound waves. Ah, the morning news, I thought, as I carefully refilled my imaginary meerschaum. Well, lets see what the Universal Wireless Telephony Syndicate has to say this morning. Money market still stringent, came the first waves. New low level in cotton. Spot cotton declines three cents. The money of the world at last cornered by Andrew Carnegie Morgan Rockefeller Richman Swindler! • Ah, disgusting! Still materialism, and in the nineteenth century too! Mentally, I cut out the Financial and Commercial waves, and allowed the social news full sway. Munny-Title. Greatest match of the year! Mrs. Munny, the wife of the great trust magnate, announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Boodle, to Lord Reggy Lackland Title, the popular young English nobleman. 187 We understand that the family will settle the small amount of Si, 000,000.000. upon the happy groom. This is reallv a love match, etc. Enough ! In despair I turned my attention to the waves of Science and invention. WonderfuTdiscoveries made by the famous archaeologist, T. Bigfool Guessalie! I became more interested, and allowed the waves to come on. Mr. T. Bigfool Guessalie, who is now en route for Mars, where he will make a short stav before starting upon his lecture tour around the planets (we here note that he will discourse upon ' The Absolute necessitv of Archaeology and Good Roads to the Welfare of the Universe ' ), sends us the follow- ing dispatch by telepathy : ' Special to The Universal Wireless Telephony Syndicate, May 29. S908. I send herewith, my latest conclusions in regard to the wonderful discoveries made by myself two days since. ' Day before yesterday, after ten hours of hard flying, I became so fatigued that I was glad to board the first aerial palace car that crossed my path, and put up with the ridiculously slow speed of three hundred miles per hour. ' Before Ave got half way across the island of North America, however, the man who drove the car by will-power suddenly grew sick; and we had to descend and wait until he could be made to realize that he only imagined that he was ill. ' During the period of waiting, I rested upon a smooth flat rock that happened to lie near the spot where we descended. As I rose to go, I noticed that there seemed to be some kind of rude letters inscribed upon the stone. Scenting a discovers - , by telepathy I immediately summoned my co-worker, Mr. I. Will Backemupski; and. upon his arrival, we began to examine the stone. There were certainly distinct letters inscribed upon it, although they had evidently been made by a very crude instrument in in the hands of unskilled workman. Also, to our certain knowl- edge, they belonged to no known language. Accordingly, we proceeded to applv Mr. Quick Thinkemoutski ' s latest formulas to the inscription. They worked like a charm. Thus you find A . To one third of the square root of the sum of the letters of the inscription, add twice the cosine of the angle of declination (determined for the exact locality by observations on Polaris at elongation) ; subtract twice the coefficient of expan- sion, divided by the specific gravity, completely precipitate with sulphuric acid, filter, and wash; and, after subtracting twice the current strength ( I=-j ), extract with 95 per cent alcohol, and shake well before using. The other letters may be easily found in a similar manner. ' There is a date given, also; but. as Thinkemoutski ' s formulas apply to letters, only, we have, as yet, been unable to decipher it. However, after a careful examination of the stone before the 188 blowpipe, we feel safe in saying that, at the very lowest figures, the inscription must be at least 10,000,000 years old. ' According to the formulas, the mysterious letters read thus: Innermost vault to the temple of the gods. (In our unde- veloped, primeval, twentieth century English, the inscription reads as follows: — Corner Stone — Agricultural Hall — Clemson College, S. C. ). Now, our way was clear. We had evidently discovered the most sacred vault of a temple to the ancient gods. If this be a vault, I reasoned, it should con- tain something. Hence, we have a check upon our formulas. Eagerly, I called for Backemupski ' s pocket xrays, and, together, we looked into the stone. Eureka! Thinkemoutski ' s formulas were proved invincible ; for there was a vault filled with various unfamiliar articles. ' Among the many things of interest in the vault, were certain rounded metallic objects, which were evidently intended to represent one of the gods. The rude likeness upon the metal, seemed to represent a golden calf; and, according to the formulas, the inscription read, The Great God of Industry. (In English, it reads, One Dollar ). ' Among other things, were objects which, in some degree, resemble a poor grade of paper; and, over the surface of this material were inscribed crude letters and hieroglyphics. The whole thing seemed to be a hymn of praise to the god of war. (We would read it thus, F. H. Clinkscales, Liveryman, Clemson College, S. C ) ' Still another passage tells of the reward of the just. It dwells upon the pleasures of treading the fields Elysian. (English: Paragraph 37962, College Regulations: Any cadet being absent from any formation, without any engraved excuse from the surgeon, shall receive punishment not greater than electrocution and not less than ten hours of extra-walking upon the parade ground (the field Elysian ??! — ( ):! ) ' Yet another passage makes mention of The Cigar Fund, a sacrifice paid yearly to the high priests of the god of learning. However, since the word, cigar, has long been absolete, we do not know just what construction to put upon this paragraph. After a careful spectroscopic examination of the expression, Backemupski affirms that it should be translated Breakage Fee. However, I am more inclined to believe that it refers to the smoky sacrificial tapers burnt before the shrine of learning, during what were called the examination periods, as the oldest definition of cigar is Something to smoke.

From our discoveries, we feel safe in saying that, in prehistoric times, a race of semi-civilized barbarians inhabited the tropical jungles of the island of Xorth America, which, as we all know, was in a former geological period, a great continent. These people developed a rude sign language and a crude method of printing upon a fabric somewhat resembling a goor grade of paper. Through fear, they worshipped the evil spirits, chief among which was M — . (Mars?) the god of war. Also, we glean, they succeeded in domesticating a most savage animal, the automobile, which, on account of its irascible temper and rebe llious ways, has since become extinct. (We here note that Professor Pieclemoutski has just completed a plaster model of this wonderful beast, guided by a petrified toe nail recently found.) ' The chief political men were Booker T.Washington. President of the nation, and Theodore Roosevelt, leader of the ex-slave race. ' For certain excellent reasons, which we shall now relate, we feel safe in saving that we have at last discovered in these people the long lost missing link between man and his progenitor, the monkey ' j ' — Just here, continued my friend, feeling thirsty I reached for an imaginary bottle of Lewis ' 66 ' . However, I leaned a little too far forward, and my dreams of ninetieth centurv unreality were suddenly and rudely dispelled by a twentieth century floor. I woke to find that it was the morning after and I had fallen from my chair. G. W. K.

Now at the close of our college days, we stand hesitatingly upon the threshold of a new life. We pause because with each moment comes a deepening impression of the larger opportunities afforded us and an enlargening sense of the heavier responsibi- lities to be assumed upon our entrance into the world ' s broad field of activities. We are young and inexperienced, and this we fully realize. Yet we come not with outstretched arms to plead mercy of our fellowmen. but with trained mind and ready muscle to request the privilege of proving how bravely and efficiently we can meet the tasks required of the man of today. Shall we be content with the same commonplace life — the life of as little effort as is possible — that we led before we begun our college work, or shall we lead the strenuous yet ample life, the price demanded by the world today for large achievement? Shall we be satisfied to take our place among the rank and file of our country and there remain, or shall we struggle to gain and hold our rightful position as social, moral, and industrial leaders of the present age? These are the questions that confront us. The choice must be made by each individual member, and the decision will largely determine the dimensions of his sphere in this life. However, plans have been made and ideas have been encour- aged: the future of our dreams is one long, unbroken chain of success with perhaps here and there a tiny spot of the rust of failure and despair, put there because of a recognition of the eternal fitness of things. How often different, though, is the dream from the reality I As, slowly, one by one, the fond and youth- ful ideas of college life have been crushed in the realization, even more slowly, but more certainly will many of the brilliant prospects, now looming up before us, be shattered in after life. It is easy to plan, but more difficult to execute. Man ' s plans are changeable, governed by circumstances; only the will of God in inflexible. So we know not what the future may bring forth for each of us: but we do know that her store is golden and that her gifts will be dealt out with lavish hand to those who have prepared themselves to receive them. The coming years will be the true test of the value of the years spent in college. 192 All Quiet at Ponce De Leon. ' •All Quiet Along the Potomac. All quiet at Ponce de Leon they say, Except now and then some stray yells, As the heart of a Clemson admirer, With pride for the Tiger team swells— Oh, where are the valiant Techmen now, Who even before the game did begin, Fondly predicted, Clemson no show, Georgia Tech is certain to win. All quiet at Ponce de Leon to-night, Where the rain is peacefully falling Wiping away with pitying touch, All traces of Tech ' s recent mauling. But rain nor other power ' neath the sun, No matter how pitying it be, Can wipe away from our memory, The thoughts of that beautiful victory. All quiet at Ponce de Leon to-night, At Calhoun, I ask if it be the same? Not much, for when the belated train, Bearing the victorious Tigers came, The Corps ' bonfire rose on high. And amid the cheers that swelled to the sky. The gleaming stars seemed to twinkle reply. 193 194 Fired at Random. Woe be unto you when all men speak well of you.

Clemson College, S. C, November i, igoy. General Orders No. 23. Paragraph 1. Taking into consideration the manly stand taken by the Senior officers and the members of The Bloody Corpse in using their efforts to abolish hazing, and realizing that these young men have been in college long enough to know right from wrong, and real- izing further that they are in a position to set an example to the under-classmen, I now open my heart and grant to this body of young men the privileges here in contained: First. They shall have all-night lights, with the privilege of using same until taps. Second. They shall be allowed to visit the members of their section during release from quarters, provided said visit is for the purpose of obtaining information concerning academic work. Third. They shall be allowed to stay in their rooms during study hours, sitting in their chairs at attention. In case one wishes to speak to his room-mate, he must do so in a whisper, so as not to disturb the corporal in the next room. Fourth. Thev shall have the privilege of marching to and from classes in a military manner — column of twos, with correct facing distance and cadence. Fifth. They shall be allowed to comply with paragraph 189, College Regulations. Sixth. At all times — even when in their rooms — they shall be allowed to wear the regulation uniform of the corps of cadets, with blouses buttoned and hooked and connected with the man- dible by means of a regulation collar, trousers creased, and shoes shined. Seventh. They shall be allowed the hour from 5 to 6 every afternoon to walk on the campus, provided it is for a necessary purpose; if not, they shall remain in their rooms, observing said time as a study hour. Paragraph II. Owing to the fact that there are not enough offices to which I can appoint all the members of the Senior class, I feel it my 197 bounden duty that, in addition to the privileges contained in Para- graph I, the members of The Bloody Corpse are entitled to the following additional privileges, which are hereby granted: First. They shall apportion themselves equally among the different companies of barracks in such a manner that the non- commissioned officers may have direct supervision of their rooms. Second. They shall be allowed to attend all formations, includ- ing those for reveille, retreat, and meals, and at said formations, including all others, they shall have the privilege of answering to their names not exceeding three times. Third. They shall have the privilege of participating in all drills, drilling in the front ranks under the direct supervision of a corporal. Any senior private who does not show his appreciation of this privilege shall be reduced, and reassigned to the rear rank. Fourth. They shall have the honor of going on duty as officer of the day, and must report all delinquencies from the least ser- ious, that of being late at formations, to the most serious, that of not giving All right, so as to be distinctly heard by the sentinel. Fifth. They shall be allowed to take part in the rabbit hunt every Saturday afternoon from two until six o ' clock, as this sight affords much amusement to passers-by. Paragraph III. Any Seniors not taking advantage of the privileges as designat- ed in the foregoing paragraphs, will be subject to a term of im- prisonment not exceeding ninety days nor less than thirty days. 198 Dickey ' s Mistake. He waited in the lab. room ' Til quarter after nine Wondering in a hasty mood Why the class was not on time. But something he mistrusted; A calendar sought he- He turned away disgusted— ' Twas Sunday, don ' t you see? Then sped to Sunday School so fast He made the air to croon, And while he lectured to his class He held a laboratory spoon To student handed he a book Just read the reference do. The student shook his head but took Fresenius, volume No. II. Early to Bed, Early to Rise. Early to bed , and early to rise, Will do for some stiff old guys, But it makes a man miss all the fun, If he goes to bed with the setting sun. Take for an example, a dance, A man would stand no chance, If he went to bed when the chickens do, And arose in the morn when the old cock crew. So-my advice you ' d better take, And if you feel like it sleep late, For this time honored adage, Will not do for modern days. Go to bed at three o ' clock, Get up when you please, ' Cause you ' ll die before you ' re sixty, With some Satin named disease. 199 Not Infrequently Heard. J Well sir, no South Carolina gentleman would be guilty of such a thing. AH right, any questions this morning? It may transpire that you will have to take the consequences. Now, young gentlemen, I. the current in amperes, is equal to E. the electromotive force in valts, divided by R, the resistance in ohms. W-a-1-1, I ain ' t saying nothing. Turn off the water, young gentlemen, turn off the water Man ' s inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn. That ' s very fine, very fine. Young gentlemen, do please pay attention, if you can ' t pay attention, please look like you are paying attention. Well, all right that may be true; but what about this rack (rock) ? Yes, just take this boy and arid him to that boy and you get this boy ; then multiply him by this boy and you get the bov up here. Yes, see the joke? Just skew that around to here and it will make it all right. Freshman Creed. I believe in algebra, solid geometry, and the science of agricul- ture, and will, at all times, be alert to the history making around me. But most of all I believe in military discipline, and will ever bear well in mind the requirements of Paragraph 189 College Regulations. All my vacant hours shall be diligently spent at freehand drawing, except such as will expedite my skill at set- back. I humbly bow in submission to all sophomores, and will faithfully execute all demands imposed until such time as escape seems certain. All these things I swear by the minus sign. 200 Senior Delinquency. Ackerman, M. H.: Attempting to arouse sympathy by fainting on G. F. C. campus. Alverson, J.

And the most high spake all these things, saying : I am the omnipotent king, thy commandant, who have put the in the ways that thou should ' st go and have guided thy footsteps therein. Thou shalt have no other king before thee. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to any image upon or beneath the surface of the earth ; but when thou comest into my most high presence, thou shalt smite thy forehead thrice upon the ground in token of utter submission. Thou shalt not cough or clear thy throat in vain, in the pre- sence of his august nibs, the Commandant, for the Commandant will not hold him guiltless who cougheth or cleareth his throat in vain. I- Remember the Sabbath day to go to church ; for many will be the extras and long the confinements for him who abideth not by this Commandant. Four hours shalt thou walk extras without intermission, and the fifth hour thou shalt find sweet rest serving confinements in thy room. Honor the President, Commandant, and Faculty, that thy days may be long at the jail to which thy father sendeth thee. Thou shalt not kill time. Thou shalt not break confinements. Thou shalt not say anything in thy own defense if thou art brought before the Discipline Committee. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbo s shoulder bars, nor his chevrons, nor his confinements, nor his extras nor anything that is thy neighbors. 211 The Bell. Get up!

Experiments of considerable value to the scientific world were conducted by members of the student body of Clemson College, S. C, from December 20, to January 4, 1908. We are especially indebted to Mr. J. S. Wessinger, for his efforts, though others deserve mention. Mr. Wessinger has found that potassiam iodide (Ki) when brought into contact with sulphur (S), unites in the following proportions: KiS2, or KISS. Mr. Wessinger reports that the experiment is best performed in the dark, and must be done with extreme care, as some of the material is explosive. He at one time narrowly escaped losing an ear, and at present carries a black eve. Mr. A. J. (Exodus) Baker also conducted researches, and reports somewhat similar results. He has not yet produced conclusive proof, but believes that considerable pressure is necssary. On the other hand, he states that the re-action can take place as well in sunlight as in partial darkness. Mr. J. Spratt intended rendering some valuable assistance, but met with several serious backsets. He has since been on the verge of nervous prostration, and is not now in a condition to be interviewed concerning the subject, but we hope to present his experience later on. Mr. Spratt, with his usual persistence, intends renewing his efforts next June. Mr. W. M. Lunn, on the other hand, insists that there is but little danger or difficulty, which is probably owing to the mater- ia! in hand, the nature of which is often variable. Further developments are anxiously awaited. Amateur Chemist ' s Journal. 214 Experiment Alpha and Omega. Performed: December 6, 1907. By: J. C. Littlejohn, W. W. Kirk, J. P. Lewis. W. M. Ros- borough and H. B. Riser under the directions of Prof. W. M. Riggs. Object: Test and operation of feminine hot air engine. Reference: Samuel Broadus Earle — from introduction to finis. Apparatus: Hammock, dark corner, m oonlight night, oppor- tunity. Method: Riser begins the experiment by placing the engine in a comfortable position, well boosted up with sofa pillows. He then opens the main valve of his poetical nature and finds that the eccentric swings forward through about 95 and cut-off occurs most unexpectedly. Riser retires with badlv damaged feelings, and Rosborough decides to try a hand with this era tic piece of mechanism. Rosen begins by turning on the hot air, when the engine is on dead centre. He sees the dangerously high pressure in the cylinder; but with great bravado and soft caresses he gently begins to coax the fly wheel over. When things did begin to roll and the smoke cleared away, nothing could be found of the voung gallant, but a pair of nose glasses. As the tensile strength of the material had not been determined, Bill Kirk, an expert engineer and tester of the tensile strength of feminine effections was called upon to secure this most important data. Encircling the jacket with his yard arms Bill attempts to obtain the necessaiv dimensions, thickness of material etc., and finds things rather warm. However he proceeds to exert considerable pressure, and would have undoubtedly succeeded had not the eccentric slipped, releasing the crank which flew off at a tangent and mutilated that unfortunate Lad ' s winning card, that wonderful museum occupying as it does a central position in the lower part of his physiognomy. After some coaxing from the performers the engine was once more put in good running condition, when that reckless spirit, John Little, appeared on the scene. He grasped the fly wheel with one hand, and placed the other around the jacket. Exerting infinite pressure in that direction, he placed his lips affectionately upon the admission valve. The engine stopped — back-fired and then exploded with indignation. Lewis appeared with accustomed wet blanket and put out the fire, in doing so however he threw a chill over the whole experiment. Log of results: Self acting, no governor used because of impossibility of finding one of sufficient durability, speed high, and surplus of packing used. 215 To the Class of 08. Dr. R. N, Brackett.

On Wednesday evening in the treasur- er ' s office, Dr. P. II. E. Sloan entertained several members of the Faculty at an informal smoker. P.of. W. S. Morrison, whose apprecia- tion of a good Havanna is unsurpassed, provoked much laughter by his inimitable ante helium jokes and his humor- ous account of the manner in which he put Stub Stevens to flight, from his forti- fied position on the wood pile. Prof. Morrison was the unrivalled monarch of the field of wit, until the arrival of Prof. Furman, who, with a few caustic criti- cisms soon pat the gentlemen from the Fairfield briar patch to ignoniinous flight. Cigars having been finished, another box was opened. Under the narcotic influence of the fragrant fumes, Dr. Calhoun waxed elo- quent in the discription of the Paleozoic Rhinosaurious, and gave a detailed account of that wonderful animal ' s ability to wrap his caudal appendage around Mt. Mitchell and drink from the Clemson College stand pipe. Another box of cigars opened. Captain Minus discoursed interestingly on scientific oxidation, or how to burn. Prof. Harper talked at length on the agricultural possibilities of Ireland and recounted for the 3578th time, his experi- ences while there. Another box of cigars opened. Prof. Burress being accustomed to rabbit-tobacco only, becoming nausea- ted, was forced to retire. Another box of cigars opened. A very pleasant evening was brought to a close, by Dr. Sloan ' s scientific dis- cussion of the economic possibilities of the Breakage Fee. Prof Furman ' s cry-sis joke was unanimously voted the best of the evening. Each of the guest received a box or cigar - as souvenir. AN ESTIMATE OF FOOD CONSUMED BY CLASS OF 08. The class of 1908 has been recognized as an exceptional class in the history of Clemson College ever since it entered here four years ago. We do not know whether a similar estimate has ever before been made of any class, but from the amount of food consumed, calculated as nearly accurate as is possible, it has not been on the plane of the average along the eating line. If a member of the class were asked to vouch for the truth of these figures given below, he would no doubt disclaim them because of a sort of empty feeling that always accompanies him; and if an outsider were called upon to judge of them by the appearance of the members of the class, he would declare them false. Mr. Schilletter, however, who has all along seemingly evidenced considerable anxiety, from the limited quantity of food we were sometimes forced (Continued on page 8S2.) 231 THP: TK1KR. THE TIGER.

PHENOMENAL OCCURRENCE AT THE HOSPITAL. Only Fifty=five Men on Sick Report. On Monday. February seventeenth, Dr. Redfern experienced a very severe attack of heart trouble, occasioned by the arri- val of only fifty-live men at the hospital, which was the smallest number that had ever appeared on a Clemson College sick report, the average numbers being between -ix hundred and seven hundred. During a period of temporary mental aberration caused by this phenomenal occurrence, Dr. Redfern. reversing his usual prescription of pills, pills, pills, prescribed oil of cloves for several cases of tooth ache. Sodium Phosphate for the stomach ache, Sloan ' s Liniment for sev- 232 THE TIGER. eral sprains and bruises, Capudine for headaches, and Foley ' s Honey and Tar for Coughs and colds. In every case, on account of the fever of excitement prevailing in the Doctor ' s office, the thermometer recorded a high temperature, thus eliminating the neces- sity of warming it at the fire. It is a matter of scientific inte.est that one cadet ' s temperature was recorded at 212=F. Without demur, the Doctor excused each and every man from all classes and military duty for the remainder of the week. SENIOR CLASS. At last the long expected has conic. In a short talk to the Senior Class a few- days ago. Captain Minus announced offi- cially that Senior privileges would certainly he granted in the near future. As near as he could estimate at present, the order bestowing these privileges would be published on or about June 10, 1908. The class extends to Captain Minus, their sincere thanks for this appreciation of their attempts to keep in the straight and narrow path. JUNIOR CLASS. The foot ball season for the Junior Class is over. We made a touchdown in barracks. Mr. Wolfi ' , the noble presi- dent, won the orator ' s medal at long roll on Saturday night.

Dr. Calhoun ' s crack Track Team was made to look like thirty cents with holes in the lucre, and the holes plugged up with lead, when Beau Brummel Cannon and Ladiesman Crider made the distance of one mile from Calhoun to Clemson, Tuesday evening, in forty-nine seconds, before Captain Minus, who was in hot pursuit, had reached the culvert over the creek. Cannon and Crider, who are the shining lights of Calhoun ' s society, left the homes of their lady loves, immaculately attired in full evening dress, but when they became cognizant of a vacuum in the vicinity of Calhoun Station, swallow-tail coats and silk hats were cast aside and pretty patent leathers were made to do duty on seven league boots.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, College of Clemson. In the name of Dr. Mell, Amen! Whereas, we the members of the Senior class, of the college and state aforesaid, being of sound mind and body, feel that we are about to depart from this life, we, the aforesaid body of men, do hereby publish and declare this instrument, as and for, our last will and testament on this earth or any other earth which may have been mentioned in casual conversation heretofore, or which may be mentioned in casual conversation hereafter. We feel a deep sympathy for the faculty and students, that we leave behind, and to partly alleviate the misery that they will experience, we deem it necessary to make this, our last will and testament; thereby, disencumbering ourselves of unearthly possessions which we no longer need, and which will be a consola- tion, to the said faculty and students in times of dire pain and necessity. Item I. Wherein, Honorable Edward Hunter has inspired us with implicit confidence in his dealings with his fellows, we do now appoint and name him executor to this, our last will and testament; and we do hereby give to him the pen with which this will was written ; and we ako pray that he will use it in the business transactions which he may conduct for Dr. Mell and Prof. Morrison; and, we also give to the said Edward Hunter, the ring which is commonly seen encircling the eyes of the mem- bers of the facility at chapel time. Item II. To Dr. Mell, our beloved president, who has in times of trouble spread his sheltering wing over us, thereby protecting us from many unseen blows of evil spirits, we do now give, devise, and bequeath all the many favors he has shown us, and also we give him the old permit blanks, etc., which now bears his signa- ture in our behalf; and we also leave him the services of our esteemed executor, hereinbefore mentioned. Item III. To Captain Josiah C. Minus, we give a copy of the Rules and Regulations, with the explicit instructions that a chapter be read every night, and that they be placed under his pillow before retiring. This latter, to insure dreams of duty and visions of reward. Also, we leave to him the memorable para- graph one hundred and eighty -nine (189) College Regulations, providing however, that the said paragraph be printed in gilded letters, so as to be distinctly read by sentinals on post. Item IV. To Mr. A. Schulliter, we leave our ingenuity in distin- 273 guishing currants from flies; and we also give back the cards we have used while at Clemson. Item V. To Professor William Shannon Morrison, we leave The Worlds Almanac and The Gazeteer. Also we leave, a double barrel, breech loading rifle which was given to us by the 1Q07 Brigands. He may also take the remains of the South Carolnia Gentlemen. who entered Clemson in A. D., 1004 and, who are now about to depart from this life. Item VI. To Professor Harper, we return all the $5,000. iobs ; a1 the same time we express the wish that he bestow them upon each succeeding class. We also give him a little prayer book, from which he may read, in chapel during his week. Item VII. Realizing the necessity of co-operating with the geologists of the present for the impiovement of the scientific interests of the world, we do hereby, devise and bequeath to Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, the Track Team that held a track meet on the back-bone of the prehistoric monster ten million years ago. This is the same animal that wrapped his tail around the stand- pipe and conducted chapel exercises at the same time. Item VIII. To Prof. Daniels we give five bottles of soothing syrup, one rubber ring, a book called, The cri-sis, one white vest, two rattles and a button ; all, with our best wishes for a long life and a happy one. Item IX. To the Faculty as a whole we leave a copy « if Robei t ' s Rules of Order to be used every Thursday afternoon at those memorable gatherings of wise heads and large feet. We also have them one hundred over coats and one hundred pairs of rubbers in order that they may hereafter patronize the enter- tainments given by the students in chapel. Item X. To the Agricultural Department, we leave a gray mule, a bottle of mountain dew, and a chew of tobacco. Item XI. To the Mechanical and Electrical Department, we leave one lead pencil, one pair of fire dogs , and a jig saw. Item XII. To the Chemical Department we leave a rubber hose, some sulphuretted hydrogen, and a bottle of alcohol. Item XIII. To the Textile Department we leave twenty-thice students, a bobbin, and a spool of thread. Item XIV. To the Civil Engineering Department, we leave one pair of shoes, two old shirts, a snake bite, and one bottle oi hair tonic. Item XV. To the Academic Department, we leave a pair of suspenders, some hair tonic, a goatee, and a horse (laugh). 274 Item XVI. To the Junior Class we leave a minus quantity, hoping that by an application of mathamatics, and a supposition or two, that they may succeed in figgering it out to some satis- faction. If they don ' t succeed, we hope that they may keep on a-sucking till they do suc-ceed. We also leave them the Senior privileges which we have. Item XVII. To the Sophomore Class, we bequeath all the front rooms on the Bowery and the Pike; at the same time requesting that they do not occupy Pig and Sling without special permission of our honored executor, Edward Hunter. Item XVIII. To the Freshman, and Sub-Freshman classes, we bestow ten donkey loads of Baby Powders, and three carts .of dried apples. Now we give the advice:— eat the dried apples, drink five barrels of stand-pipe water, and swell up and bust. And, now, realizing that our time grows shorter and shorter, and that we are nearing our limit, three score demerits and seven , we as a body of men, go out from Clemson, having nothing but the kindest feeling for everyone, and the best wishes and sincere hope for the unbounded success of our deal old Alma Mater and her sons. Senior Class [L. S.] Signed and Sealed in our presence on the twelfth day of the sixth month in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred eight. Don ' t U. Come, Esq. I. Have Gone, Esq. 275 Editor ' s Note. DO your best ; Angels can do no more. And so it has been with the TAPS Board in presenting to the students and friends of Clemson this book. Perhaps you say that we should straighway render apologies for its existence. This we do not. We hold that such is the excluisve right and duty of those special editions and notes from my own works which for four years we have used as text-books. Having decided this, we must naturally expect this volume to stand on its own legs, as it were. The first question that arose in our minds was, How can we best van - the usual trend of Clemson annuals, and at the same time publish one interesting to all and dear to a Clemson cadet? Realizing this, we have departed as far as practicable from the beaten path of all previous works o r . similar character. In these pages, it has been our earnest endeavors to make the true Clem- son spirit live and pulsate for all time to come. If in after days, some word or picture or scene should serve to quicken the love we all bear for our Alma Mater, this work will not have been in vain. O reader, we would have you know that this book is not with- out a purpose— a noble purpose. May it always stand as a monu- ment to the love and sacrifice of one for another, and help to keep alive in our breasts the spirit that prompted its existence. To the sons of C. A. C, it will be valued more for what it represents than for what it is. When the flight of years has wrought many changes, then it will be that we shall treasure that which commemorates those happiest of days — our college days. And now the eleventh hour has arrived. Before we say the last word for the 1908 TAPS and our beloved comrades of 1908, we should like to say that this book is not the work of one man or of a few; but the earnest co-operation of the members of the Class of 1908. Else you would have never been greeted by the 1908 TAPS. EDITORS. 27G Acknowledgment. The Board of Editors take this opportunity to express their appreciation of the assistance of those who in various ways have aided them during the preparation of TAPS. Especially do we wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to those who are not members of the Corps ; while to those members of the Corps, who, amid their many and arduous duties, found time to lend a help- ing hand, the best we have is for vou. In this connection, we should not neglect to say that while much of the success of TAPS is due to those who have contributed drawings and pictures and encouragement all contributions of literature may be termed strictlv Clemson. ' 277 Farewell Ye Seniors. ' Tis hard to say farewell to you — You who have fought so long; Yet since there ' s work for all to do We bid y ju hasten on. And now upon life ' s field you stand Full ready for the fight; Then put your shoulder to the wheel And push with all your might. Remember, those you ' ve left behind Will watch your steps with pride, And on the ladder as you climb We ' ll shield the weaker side. Keep college spirit in your veins — Although you ' ve won the race, Perhaps ' twill be a help to us Our hardest work to face. Wave high your college colors too And sing the college song; It will encourage one and all As we go marching on. Remember we would keep you here, Ah. yes, with greatest joy: But lo, the voices far and near — We need the Clemson boy. Then fare-you-well ye Seniors brave. Be noble, kind and true; If ne ' er we meet this side the grave, In heaven, may we greet you! C. P. Rice. 278 renvoi. J Our thoughts now cease to form a talc, Jill jokes arc told; there ' s no more puns to make you pale, Or fear and scold. Our toil is buried in the past, Che fruits of which we hope shall last. Perhaps on you was turned the grind to stamp more clear Tn times to come upon your mind those days so dear ; But let it all in fun go by, Tn future days ' twill save a sigh. Ule ' ve given freely of our best, Tor you, not fame ; these works of love do but request that you refrain from thoughts that we injustice meant By phrase or word for pleasure sent. me ' re through j our hearts sustain no dread. lUc meant no wrong ; But all the blame be on our head Tor words too strong, Our last sad word before we rest Ts simply— Ciber Scriptum €st. 279 cr X Taps.
