It is hard to say just what will Income of him when he does succumb to the ravages of the study germ Most probably it will lead him to become noted as the man who weaves a pair of overalls complete with- out taking a stitch in them. Lee. or Straw- berry. has pursued a somewhat erratic college course, beginning as a special textile, and ending as a regular. The voluminous flow of language from his lips is really a manifesta- tion of the greatness of the man himself. FRED HUNTER ALL. Allendale.

Here comes the inexpressible — the only Quaker in school. When moved by the spirit. however, Hutch is said to be very fond of playing — we shall let you guess what. On rare occasions he is said to have ideas of his own. The absence of conversational proclivities oh the part of the Dutch, and his habitual sphinx-like expression, are said to be in part traceable to his youthful diet of green per- simmons and wild cherries. He is said to have the lowest-geared pair of pedal extremities in the corps of cadets having been known to take ten steps forward without gaining any ground.

Wilson, that ' s all. Heboid, another great man is come from Union. True, Charlotte, . C, the city which is ever seeking the honor of being the scene of momentous events in history, lias put forward its claim as the city of his nativity; but to the people of Union belongs the credit — if there is any credit — of effecting, in part, the civilization of this raw product of the Old North State. His smiling, florid countenance bet kens a sunny disposi- tion, which to know is but to like. Wilson ' s ability to take things as they come is one of bis most noticeable characteristics. Having seen the range of Wilson ' s business ability, we have nothing to fear with reference to his future well-being 16 DUDLEY GULP BEATY, Union.

Dudley, or Gus, having made up his mind onlj a tew minutes beforehand, hurriedly boarded the train at Union, and allowed him- self to lie put off at Clemson. Though a g 1 student. Dudley has pursued a somewhat erratic college course. He smokes his cigars, and moves nonchalantly along until examina- tions arrive: then his nervous temperament gains complete control over him. until he has passed them .ill successfully. Be what you really are. says this care-free, restless, im- pulsive youth, as he goes whistling and dream- ing his way through college. Having taken lessons under a Jew, Gus knows good clothes SO well that he will some day make a fortune in the gents ' furnishing business.

Herman left the city on the Sampit in September, ] ( 07, to cast his die with the Class of 1911, and he has been casting his dice with this class ever since; for, although he has been several times absent from us in body, he has always been present in spirit. At the date of the present writing, Herman has not yet fol- lowed his annual habit of applying for in- definite leave of absence The literary depart- ment of The Chronicle has found Herman an invaluable contributor, although most of his choicest literary work leaves the college in the care of a two-cent stamp. His unbounded nerve assures for him a future of substantial success. 17 LADSON DANTZLER BOONE. Rowesville. His very fool has music in I. Corporal, Color Sergeant, Captain.

This bud of Renins (?) and flower of chivalry ( ! ) sprang into being in the pleasant hamlet of Rowesville, and grew up among the rosebuds of that flowery land. In the fall of 1907, he was transplanted to Clemson. to blossom forth, and waste his sweetness on the ' ' esert air. That is the way the poet puts it. His roommate, however, would say that he wastes his desert air on Sweetness. ' ' Fill him with oysters, stick a good cigar in his receiver, call the name of some pretty girl, and you have the jolliest Laddie in barracks, and a true Boone companion as well.

Our vocabulary does not contain words of sufficient variety and exactness to enable us to give a fitting description to this blue-eyed, fair-haired Saxon. It has been suggested that we allow the man to speak for himself. Toots has had that privilege ever since he has been at college, but has never yet availed himself of it. lie believes that actions speak louder than words, and acts accordingly. To test him upon this point, poke two fingers suddenlj into his ribs. Although he looks to be the perfect type of Mellin ' s Food boy. take him any way you please, Toots is a man. There is onl} one person who can handle him. and she dors it w ith her eyes. 18 GEORGE TUCKER CASSELS, De Soto, Ga. could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Mafye thy two eyes, tilfe stars, start from their spheres.

Tuck, the Suture Doctor of the Veteri- nary Hospital, won his degree by means of his brilliant recitations in veterinary science, his ceaseless attentions to Buster, and his ability to meet every possible exigency with a suitable explanatory theory. Tuck formerly hailed from Fairfield, but has since migrated to the fertile fields of south Georgia, where the natives have not yet learned all of the wonderful contents of his well-stocked brain. and where he is thought to be a man of wonderful attainments. He is being depended upon to revolutionize the agricultural and live stock interests of his adopted state. He may disappoint everybody by becoming a veteri- narian ALMO DEW1TT CHAPMAN, Liberty. am in charity with the world.

In this little piece of humanity, we find two sterling qualities — independence and an innate satisfaction with the correctness of his views. His most intimate pals never question his whims, for it is understood that he is to have In- own way. To the girl who submits to bis indomitable will, he will give the most affec- tionate attention. Almo, A. D., or (to those on the inside). Bill, hails from Liberty, and believes in freedom. Confinement behind the barred windows — of a bank — resulted in his being somewhat dwarfed in his later youth. He is. however, rather a heavy man with the ladies.

Vgain has Clemson polished the raw product of Chester into the finished athlete and the brazen fascinator of femininity. But Bill is a live wire all the time. Life seems to be an ever-present characteristic with him. As a side line, Bill has adopted the investigation of the mysteries of spinning and weaving, with special reference to these sciences as applied to the whims and frivolities of the weaker sex. He is a very useful person for a lady to have around : for Bill can tell, at a glance — or a sniff — whether a sample is real silk or guaranteed silk, whether the dye will run or merely take fright, etc. HERBERT PRESS COOPER, Ridgeway.

A.; Vice- President Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Vet- erinary Science Club; Senior Dancing Club; Pen- dleton Guards. ( ooper, sometimes called Press by those who have the advantage of knowing his com- plete nomenclature, began his adventurous career near the sleepy village of Ridgeway. He came to Clemson for the sole purpose of studying agriculture, and so far he has not deviated from his purpose far enough to seriousl) overburden his mind with useless facts pertaining to veterinary science, lie has. however, discovered the Coffee test, and computed the number of revolutions per minute of a Babcock tester. It is a verj rare thing for him to l„- scored on l the professor of history and political economy. Like everj other Senior whose sketch has been read so far. he is a veritable Beau l ' .rummel with the ladies. 20 JESSE TURNER CRAWFORD, Bartow, Fla. have done the stale some service and the)) nou it.

If the little village of Troy lays no other claim to distinction, it will go down in histor) as the birthplace of the gentleman whose like- ness appears herewith. E. I., after a checkered career on the farm, put in two years at Erskine College, where he learned to chew and smoke. Vague tidings of the wonderful things to be learned at Clemson stirred the sleeping tires of E. I. ' s mechanical talent, with the result that he transplanted his bud of genius to a new hot-bed of knowledge. Here he enjoyed the unique distinction of being a Sophomore rat. E. I. is one of the few men who are possessed of both mechanical ingenuity and common sense. 21 BERTHIER HENRY DEASON, McCormick. An honest man ' s the noblest Tvor of Cod.

We have never had reason to douht the truth of the maxim quoted at the beginning of this sketch : as to its applicability in this particular instance, there seems to be the shadow of a doubt; for Bertha. or Bert. if you arc in a hurry, is a heavy operator on ' change : in fact, he practically runs the Exchange to suit himself. However, there are honest men even in Wall Street, they tell us. Besides arranging religious meetings for the Y. M. C. A., leading prayer meetings, deliver- ing orations in the Calhoun Society, and fak- ing up the Senior Class matter for The Tiger, Bert ' s amusements include selling explanation blanks, writing letters, and studying.

Although Epps is a Virginian by birth, the Palmetto State should not hesitate in adopting a man of Humpit ' s qualifications. Both physically and mentally, he is eligible to be classified as a man. For amusement, he occa- sionally pulls up a few young oaks, or disturbs the equilibrium of a brick church. He has a habit of getting what he wants. When in search of a sponsor, he had the matron of Chicora College march the girls in review, secured a picture from the one he considered the best looking, and came back to Clemson chuckling. Humpit can feed on a sawmill without unpleasant results. GEORGE COCHRAN FANT, Anderson. Even though vanquished, he could argue still. Lieutenant.

From the earliest ac- counts that we have of this wonderful piece of human mechanism, we learn that he always detested study. ' ' Scrapping seems to have been, of all his innocent, youthful amusements, the favorite. Since coming to Clemson, Big Chief has become somewhat tamed, Win- ning His Shoulder-Bars, and A Trip to the :st, are important chapters in the biographj of our hero. George is fond of pretty flowers. pretty pictures, and pretty girls. It is his earnest desire to sec the walls of every room in barracks adorned with edifying works of art. 24 JOHN ROSSITER FIZER, Brxnchviixe. In words a dwarf; but in wisdom, a giant.

Club; Junior Tennis Club; Senior Private. Fizer, he of the indelible smile and the elusive dimple, has been chasing the bubble of wisdom with us ever since he appeared in our midst. He is extremely reticent in regard to his fortunes with the ladies, and when ques- tioned, merely indulges in a wise, slow smile. His two hobbies arc work and more work. Ross is an expert in the intricate art of photography; his talent in this direction has placed him in great demand, both as means of making his friends appear more handsome than they really are. and as a collector of artistic material for the beaut) department of Taps, 1911.

But if Pomaria is the land of fruits. l!n Peep is the blossom of Pomaria. lb is a living exemplification of the old adagei Fine goods are put up in small packages. It is said that while Perry is at home, he is called a ladies ' man; we, however, have no reasons for assuming this to be true. His amusements are playing with Buster, and writing post cards. His studious efforts have placed him high among his classmates, and his gentle. modest manners have won for him the friend- ship of all who know him. He once took measures to reform Ilosea ' s mess hall manners, but was induced to give up the idea as being dangerous. 25 WILLIAM WALLACE FOSTER, Asbury. Theie is a pleasure in the painless moods.

Asbury is a hard worker, he having been known to study fifteen pages of political economy without a murmur, even agreeing to give it in the words of Mr. Seager, if the professor insisted that he should. The world lost a great military autocrat when he resigned his commission as Assistant Section Marcher of the textile Freshmen. While not exactly a star on the gridiron. Asbury has more than once proved a snag in the way of some big varsity man. Throughout his course, he has been a consistent literary society worker, and his bald pate lends to his words of wisdom unusual weight. As critic of the Calhoun Literary Society, he encouraged the practice, on the part of the members, of replying to his criticisms. His only extravagance is in con- nection with his purchase of Herpicide. ROBERT WALLACE FREEMAN, Lvdia. Smooth runs the mater tvhere the brool( is deep.

Wallace, it Bennie, the ever-merry lad, having acquired all the information that the Epworth High School could supply him with, abandoned that estimable institution, and had his name added to the roll of the Freshman Class of Clemson College in the fall of 1907, thereby adding luster to said class roll. Bennie has demonstrated his ability as an expert wild animal veterinarian, having rescued the poor old Tiger from an inglorious grave, But still the belle of Lydia, and the future bride of his choice, occasionally scores mildly on his paper. Wallace has made a great record as a bar- racks merchant. 26 HENRY FULMER, Batesburg. have within my mind a thousand raw trices. Sergeant. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Y. M. C.

Jose (pronounced Ho-say), alias Hosea. never allows his mental equilibrium to be dis- turbed, no matter what happens. If he ever aspired to military honors, he stifled that as- piration early in his college career, for the reason that he finds the berth of a private better suited to his ease-loving nature. Hosea ' s most prominent shortcoming is eating while the corps is at attention. He has always manifested a deep interest in all the sayings and doings of Sheriff. and takes it upon himself to see that no one shall speak ill of. ay unfriendly hand upon, that diminutive er of the law. With his good-natured near-grin and his jolly disposition, Hosea has attracted t ' i himself a host of friends. GROVER CLEVELAND FURTICK, Sandy Run. Eternal sunshine settles on his head.

The crown of flame that surmounts this good-natured face shows the location of a rich deposit of common sense, beneath which, if one but goes deep enough, there lies buried a heart of gold. Fritz, as his record graph- ically shows, has been showered with military honors. By his ready smile, his modesty, and his kind heart, Fritz has won the love and ad- miration of every man in his class. He is a hard student: he is also a good companion t i take along on a camping trip, for his warm heart — and head — never allow the tent to be- come chilly 27 GEORGE DEAN GARNER, Eatonton, Ga.

Not beautiful — no; but of such striking originality that, when once known, he is never forgot. This is Dean. His college career has been one of many vicissitudes; yet bis opti- mistic smile and his cheerful greeting have never been known to fail. Though he has never been in serious danger of nervous breakdown from excessive study, his class standing has been well above the average. He is strictly a business man : the sweetest music that he knows is the clink of coin against coin, as he collects for the advertisements in Taps, 1911.

Garrett is a Pickens product, and conse- quently feels more or less at home among the red bills of Oconee. In truth, it would not be far wrong to sav thai this dashing swain can make himself feel at home in almost any town in upper Carolina, for his is a true drummer ' s creed : one girl in everj town, but not two in any town. Mis career at Clemson has been marred by only one untimely circumstance — that of his confinement on Sling with me. isles During this dark hour, he wrote a farewell letter to his best, another to his second best, el cetera, and made out his will and the order of his funeral obsequies 28 BENJAMIN WILEY GETTYS, Lugoff. Hail, Columbia, happy land! Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Censor, Secre- tary, Literary Critic, Palmetto Liteiary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Veterinary Science Club; Senior Dancing Club. Much doubt has arisen in the minds of scientists as to the proper place of this speci- men in the kingdom of living creatures. He has been classified as Cabbage, one of the Crucif erse ; but one may often hear him con- signed to the animal kingdom, with apparently g 1 reason, for he has been known by the name of Bunny for some time. Bunny dis- likes scientists as a class, and objects to those paid by the Rockefeller Foundation in particu- lar. During the State Fair, Bunny narrowlj escaped capture at the hands of Cupid: but. with the characteristic resourcefulness of Br ' er Rabbit, he succeeded in outwitting the little Mind god by means of a misdirected missive.

( )ne would naturally surmise, on hearing the name of tlii fair-haired lad. th t Mullet had escaped from some salt-water, fish-packing center, and not from the little inland town of Denmark. At certain seasons of the year, mullet run in schools, and this finny monster has been no exception; for on completing his term of service at the Denmark graded schools. he turned his nose toward the headwaters of the Savannah, and flipped his fins for Clemson Attending company drill is his favorite rec- reation. Mullet has several times been en- meshed in the nets of fisherman Cupid, but has each time been returned to the briny deep, being considered small fry. 29 FRANK VALENTINE GILMER, Gaffney.

Gaffney may well beast of being the birth- place of this sturdy son of the soil. But Frank soon grew up, and punished himself for being born in that city by banishing himself to the metropolis of Greenville. As a pastime. Frank has played on the gridiron since the first class game in his Freshman year. True to the Tiger eleven, he has growled over the pigskin in every down during three strenuous years 1 esiring solitude in the dignified retirement of his Senior year. Frank formed an alliance with a ' ' Graveyard. Distinction has already settled upon Frank ' s head, which we fear will soon become a shining light above his pathway. JAMES LELAND GILMORE, Holly Hill.

There is no word in the English language sufficiently comprehensive in application to admit of its being used as a nickname for this unspoiled youth: he will, however, respond to such terms as Rat, Wreck. Ole Lady, or even to a whistle and a snap of the fingers The nutter of a hit of ribbon, attached to the headgear of a passing feminine, has never been known to fail in arresting his attention.

Varnville. A man after his omn heart. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering; Junior Electrical Science Club; Senior Electrical Science Club; Pendleton Guards; Senior Private. The early history of this great man is veiled in obscurity, as is the history of many other popular idols. His biographer having despaired of the attempt to gather any authentic infor- mation concerning the exact location of his birthplace, the nature and extent of his earlj intellectual training, the number and violence of hi early loves, and the dimensions and gen- eral direction of his present ambitions, we find ourselves face to face with the problem of supplying our hero with a history.

But whether he ever accomplishes anything or not. we have the authority of Dr. Brackett for the state- ment that he will certainly always be-Ginn. WALLACE SHUFELDT GOODMAN. Clemson College.

Despite the fact that he does not live in barracks, Wallace is perhaps the most military man in his class, attending drill regularly once a month.

Mocking Bird, mini us polyglottus, soon after descending upon Clemson from the leafy boughs of Travelers Rest, earned an undying name for himself by reason of his fondness for sending off vocal fireworks. Goodwin is a man of versatile accomplishments and varied experiences; for he has pulled the ribbons over Jerry, sold calico over the counter, swayed the ruler over the desk, kept watch over the Experiment Station, and scattered cackles over the campus. He has not yet decided on his life work ; but he will doubtless become a local veterinari an, private schoolmaster, tiller of the soil, and medical missionary, all combined, in the I )ark Corner. OSWALD HOOD GRAHAM, Scranton. A gentleman maizes no noise. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Prosecuting Critic, Columbian Literary Society; Y. M. C.

The qualities ol this brilliant young man from Williamsburg lay dormant until his junior year at college, when his achievements in the English cla.-sr.HHii brought him into sudden prominence. As with many other great men, a crisis was necessary to call forth his sleeping powers; his performance established for him a reputation which will last him throughout his life. The Class of 1 11 came dangerously near to losing this valuable mem- ber in the fall of 1909, when he stubbornly refused to be cheeked 1 _ the baggage master in Columbia. The latter gentleman was evidently slightly demented, for he persisted in main- taining that cats should ride in the baggage car a statement that could have no possible application to Puss. 32 WILLIAM HENRY HANCKEL, Charleston.

He had to return to his native hills for his college course, however, and his entrance to the Prep Class in 1905 marks an epoch in the histor} of that much-abused organization.

Annie came to Clemson so loaded down with gold medals for excellence in mathematics, that he scorned the entrance examination on that subject as not being worthy of his serious consideration: as a con- sequence, he has been conditioned on mathe- matics ever since. He has. however, already succeeded in solving that most difficult of col- lege men ' s problems; namely, how to dispose of vacant hours. His ambition at present is to be a consulting engineer in the City by the Sea, where he now has on his hands a problem containing an unknown factor, which raises in his mind the eternal question. 33 BENJAMIN BEE HARRIS.

The subject of this sketch once narrowly escaped being run over by a funeral proa sion, which was waiting in front of a church: and this incident is responsible for the fact that ' ' Graveyard has probably tin- besl fitting nickname at lemson.

Authorities differ as to how this specimen should be classified, some claiming that he should be placed with the aves, while others maintain that he belongs to the insecta; there are some who assert, however, that he is un- doubtedly an optical illusion. The height of his military ambition was attained when Jalio, left to guard the sacred portals of the college, during the absence of the corps in Columbia, by his valiant efforts saved the forty from dire starvation. As his motto suggests, what he lacks is weight. LANGDON CHEVES HASKELL, JR., Abbeville. He never says a foolish thing, Nor ever does a wise one. Agriculture and Chemistry; Class Football, 1; Junior Alchemist Club; Senior Chemistry Club; Senior Dancing Club; Pendleton Guards; Senior Private. Lang, though a native of Abbeville, is a sober youth. Having acquired all of the knowledge afforded by the curricula of the graded schools of his town, he flew off at a tangent, finally landing somewhere in the neighborhood of the Bowery, New Barracks. He is recognized as being the brightest man in his class — the class, however, being very small, and Lang ' s light being usually kept under a half-bushel. He leads his section of seven in chemistry, his favorite study. Being an ardent exponent of the military system, he lives as a military model for the guidance of his comrades, going to drill regularly once every four weeks. His literary researches are confined within the covers of The Saturday Evening Post. He occasionally resorts to blowing rings for a pastime. 35 WILLIAM McCALL HAYNSWORTH, Florence.

Hill ' s sole ambition was to become a farmer. Hearing that there was an agricultural college in this State, he decided that old Clemson was good enough for him, and with her he has stuck. Bill finishes with high military honors, being a Senior private in good standing. His many fr iends admire him because of his genial nature, and because, like the proverbial Uneeda Biscuit, he is always the same. He is .in ardent admirer of the fair sex, and has suffered seriously with his heart while at college. Violets are his favorite flowers, and dancing his favorite amusement. On several occasions he has been discovered in his room, studying. We feel safe in prophesying that Bill will be hauled before the altar within a year after graduation. NORMAN OLIVER HEAD, Aiken.

Oote (or Nora, if you please), boarded a side-door Pullman, and ' hit Clemson feet first. The Head part came later. So you see that, as usual. Nora made a decided hit at mice; and the hit has improved with age. Oote is one of th..se individuals that speak in epigrams and think in volumes. His chief characteristics are his capacity for humor and his ever- present smile, which crosses his face from ear to ear like the twin cables of a suspen- sion bridge. 36 WILLIAM NOLAND HENDERSON, Blairs.

Behold a precocious youth, who, at the age n most boys arc just beginning to forsake their marbles, emerged from a secluded nook of Newberry County, and soon began to aston- ish his elder compeers at Clemson with his well-stocked young mind. Although Sweet - nin is the youngest man in his class, he has even brighter prospects for a successful career than has many another of his classmates. He is somewhat addicted to writing verse, as a means of winning feminine admiration; and we have reason to believe that he has n it al- ways wasted his sweetness on desert air.

Here is a man with whom we may not trifle; likewise, we may not take liberties with his name. His closest friends call him merely Ed ' ard ' ' ; and his bitterest enemy can apply to him no harsher terms of scorn than Jenks. Ed ' ard was born in Charleston, and hopes to go there when he dies. To the superficial observer, the dignity of this man covers him like a suit of armor; hut Ed ' ard casts aside his dignity as easily as he throws off his coal lli- inability to see the point of Salley ' s jokes is his grcate-t weakness — a weakness of which iii. one need be ashamed. 37 JOHN EDWARD JENKINS, Columbia.

The biographer of this celebrity can truth- fully say that Guttz received his early edu- cation at Converse. He might also add that the little hamlet, which happens to bear the name of the temporary abiding-place of many of Carolina ' s fair, boasts the distinction of being the home of this husky Mellin ' s Food boy. Guttz prepared himself for Clemson during two years spent at the offord Fit- ting School. Square-head, Tim, or Mrs. Murphy, at the tender age of fifteen, tipped the scales at 195 : but, since beginning to feast upon the delicacies of the Clemson cuisine, he has succeeded in reducing his limit to 180 pounds. Notwithstanding this handicap, this specimen is handsome. BEN TILLMAN KNIGHT, Cheraw. Consider the lilies of the field They toil not, neither do they spin. Textile Industry; Y. M. C.

That he has developed into a royal entertainer is attested bj the fact that, as with the knight of old, heavy mail is one of his distinguishing characteristics, Bennie never works nor worries; he studied commercial geographj somewhat in his Freshman year. Since then he has confined his reading to such classics as Diamond Dick and Nick Carter 40 JOHN SAMUEL KNOX, Westminster. Society is no comfort to one not sociable. Sergeant, Lieutenant.

He is a close student of economics, and is an authority on horticulture, having taken a summer course in the latter subject Sammy enjoys the distinction of having more real conscience to the cubic inch than any other officer at Clemson. His eyes, which, even in his photograph, have a habit of look- ing straight into one ' s own, bespeak his old- fashioned honesty.

The latter ambition he has achieved. The former, he seems in a fair way to fulfill, he being now on the home-stretch to his degree, with even prospect of tagging the bag. Lucy has also won fame as a soldier, rising steadily from private to captain. He has started many an unpromising rat on a career to military glory. He has also some- what of a reputation as an impersonator, his favorite character being Falstaff, whose parts his rotund figure peculiarly fits him to play. 41 BRENARD FRANKLIN LAWRENCE, Clover.

Since Theory first entered life ' s circle on a Clover green, one can not censure him for sporting his native color in his early college days. The first few years succeeded in re- moving the chlorophyll from his cheeks, but only to have its place taken by a characteristic growth of whiskers. This wiry son of the Piedmont has won fame in society — Oh, no. no! not by his sociable nature, but by bis literary ability. Lawrence is one of the two Masons of which Clemson can boast. This brother of the Royal Arch should also be given credit for his checker-board achieve- ments. While not engaged in his favorite game, he either smokes his faithful old pipe, Sampson, or indulges in his favorite recrea- tion of shaving, as a means of whiling away the time.

Shep. however, does not belie the second part of his more or less pastoral llation; for, true to the instincts that his name argues him to lie the possessor of. he early turned his attention to the care of flocks and herds, pursuing the animal husbandry course as a means of better fitting himself for that pleasant business.

His last period of residence there was characterized by his kindness to the rats, by his friendliness to the night-watchman, by his love for Caesar, the barracks purp. by his entanglement in Spider ' s webs, and by his frequent visits to the syrup room just across the hall from his main entrance. In spite of all of these idiosyncrasies. McCoot has managed to attach a very select group of friends to himself during his stay within this vale of dismal science. OSCAR PALMER McCORD, Hodces.

Mac made a name for himself as a middle distance track man. by winning a quarter- mile race with Professor Bramlett, formerly the holder of the world ' s record. Mac ' s habit of gazing long hours into the face of his Ingersoll might be taken to mean that he does nothing but watch the minutes disappear. A close examination will show that the interior face of the crystal of said Ingersoll is decorated with a ping-pong picture Those eyes, and Mac ' s rosy cheeks, make his face to shine like the morning sun. It is rumored that this lively youth may become a circuit rider ; but the State House offers him a more promising field. 45 FRED OTIS McCOWN, Anderson. ne er could any luster see In eyes that mould not lool( on me.

Mac first discovered the light of day in the , ild and woolly jungles of Anderson County. Having wen the heart of every country lassie for miles around, and being an ambitious lad. he invaded the Electric City in quest of new- hearts to conquer. Dan Cupid, we are told, soon brought the conquest to an end. to Mac ' s entire satisfaction. Following up his ambition to make the city of Anderson worthy of its soubriquet, Mac entered Clemson in 190 ' ): but, owing to a dis ' iiclination on the part of Crip to appreciate his superior knowledge of the slippery science of electricity, he became dis- gusted, and allied himself with the Class of 1911.

I. Mac comes to us from the Queen of Winter Resorts, as he proudlj designates the city of his birth. We have found him to be rr true to thai easy-going class of humanity that takes life as it comes, without a cue At Clemson, his spare time has been taken up with music and dining — mosthj dining. After each of his man) meals, he can be found in close communion with his pipe. What passes through his mind — if anything passes — at these times can not be re.nl from his countenance, which constantly bears an ex- pression of supreme contentment.

For a long, tall, lanky guy like Mac. the nickname Goat seems out of place; but by such he i known t ' his classmates. Goat heeded the call for trained electrical engi- neers by hutting into the mechanical depart- ment of Clemson College. Goat ' s greatest achievement while at college was his unsuc- cessful attempt at hutting a hole in the floor of the New Barracks in his freshman year. He was persuaded to spend the latter part of the session 1907-190S at home, on account of his uncontrolled longing to visit the historic little village of Pendleton. He did not. how- ever, allow this little incident to deprive him of his right to wear an ' 11 watch fob. it- chier delights are dancing, cigarette smoking. alci ihi ' 1 sw iping, and drilling.

This gentleman, commonly known in college circles as Mick. first opened his eyes some- where in the swamps of Kershaw County. The High School of Camden is responsible for his early education. It took much per- suasion to induce him to enter the Freshman Class at Clemson. When we say that he is a man of high aspirations, we do not apply the Statement to his view of military affairs at Clemson. However, it is the common belief of all of his comrades that he is always punctual at military formations, reveille in particular. It is no wild prediction to say that some day he will make the valleys of Kershaw resound to the echoes of his oratory. lie has been urged to prepare himself to assist Murphy, the leader of Tammany, in his tight for Democratic supremacy. 47 JOHN CALVIN MILLING, Greenwood.

John is a true- sprout from old Greenwood; probably this fact accounts for his extreme verdancy when his rathood was in flower. John can not see just why he is sometimes referred to as the head light of his section — until he stands before the mirror. John ' s athletic feats have been many and marvelous. He holds the college record for a new sort of pick-a-back race, having made a dash of one hundred and fifty yards on his knees through the darkness, with a man on his back. This record run can be vouched for by Professor Bramlett, who was in the saddle. Give John a little Brown Mule and the world is his — not the Mule ' s, but John ' s. FRED FULTON PARKER, Roebuck.

Cameron. And twenty of these puny lies I ' ll tell. Sergeant, First Lieutenant. Agriculture; Palmetto Literary Society; The Sub- soilers, 2; Senior Agricultural Science Club; Senior Dancing Club. Rast, the Latinized form of whose name is Rastus, was born somewhere in the sticks near Orangeburg, but later in life moved into the growing metropolis of Cameron, becoming a naturalized citizen of Calhoun County. He probably received some rudimentar} educa- tion in the public schools of Orangeburg County; but his record docs not add much luster to the educational glory of that com- munity; for. after standing a few examina- tions at Clemson in the fall of 190f . he hit prep so hard that he shocked the kinder- garten. Marion, like the original Swamp Fox, is very fond of military science, and would make a good lieutenant, if he could only find out where his company forms. He has shown his ability to do anything, includ- ing his friends. JOSEPH EDGAR REDDEN, Honea Path. A man of few words. D. D. C. Civil Engineering; Senior Civil Engineering Club; Senior Privale. Joseph, or Morphy, first saw the light of day at Laurens. S. O, but later moved to Honea Path, which he now calls his home. At first sight, one would not think this char- acter especially bright, for he spends half of his time in minding his own business, and the other half in letting other people ' s business alone; but you just give him a chance lie has already achieved fame as a teacher, having graduated at Furman in 190f , and having been principal of a graded school for three years previous to his entrance into the Junior Class at Clemson in 1909.

Here ' s a man .if we may call him such, who never knows which way the wind is blowing, and cares less. Pike is always looking at the bright side of the world, although one may wonder, upon gazing upon him for the first time, what he has to feel happy about Though he comes from Denmark, Pike has the reputation of doing more work with less ex- penditure of energy than any other man in his class. Ever since coming to Clemson he has been successful in running a bluff on his professors ' , he always wins their sympathy 1 reciting a heart-rending tale of the physical sufferings he has recently borne — a tale which one is induced to credit after surveying his mobile o luntenance.

It was a matter of surprise to man} that a modest lad from Darlington could create so livebj a sen- sation among the belles of Columbia.

Considering the fact that Fred is from Charleston, one might be led to decide in- stantly that he is an incessant talker. Such is not the case, however; for bred is one of the quietest men in college, except when he is in the company of a fair one. when his reserve is gradually put aside, and he proceeds to win himself a home by his natural social ability When a dance does not interfere, or when a baseball trip is not imminent, Fred snatches time for study.

Stick cast his eyes first upon the troubled waters of the Atlantic. The fact that he hails from the historic old town of Port Royal accounts for being well versed in history and economics. Becoming tired of the monotonous sound nt the sad sea waves, he decided to cast hi lot with us at Clemson.

Tobe, having been born without his consent, in the town of Barnwell at that, proceeded to make the best of a bad proposition, and ac- quired such education as the schools of that place could afford. Soon after entering Clemson in the fall of 1906, he began to form ideas of his own as to bow a lire engine should be rim; and. upon returning home at Christmas, he butted into the city department. As a result, he was unable to return to Clem- son until the following year. Since then he has shared the fortunes of the lass of 1911.

Monk was reduced to a condition of partial domestica tion, and was given some preliminary training at the Cordesville High School. His trainers, however, realizing that he was a young simian of great promise, shipped him in a cage to Clemson. where he has been taught the mysteries of bridge- building. There is not a dull spot in Monk, as his record will show. His wit is astound- ing. Perhaps the most prominent feature of Monk ' s make-up is his outstanding nose. He is a little sensitive about the tendency on the pan of this member to hide the rest of his countenance, and claims that it is a monu- ment to some of his distinguished ancestors. His talents will probablj be buried in the earth, for he intends to be a real estate dealer. 58 History of t1)t Mentor Class INTRODUCTION. The golden hours of college life are well-nigh 111 spent. We must soon separate, and take up the varied and common- fSjf e duties of life. Have we spent our four years to the hest advan- tage? To answer this query, each of us must turn back to his Fresh- man year and follow his march onward. ancient The Invasion of the Rodents. — In the beginning, we were two hundred and fifty strong. Such a goodly number of hardy and ambitious South Carolinians naturally sought a means to impress upon the world their newly- acquired importance. To this end. we endeavored to take full charge of this institution, and to run it according to our own liking. This move, however, was nipped in the hud; and we soon found ourselves subdued into that pleasing state known as rathood. Winter soon rolled by — for a rat ' s days are full to overflowing. .Many of our number made the well-known blunder of April the first; hut they took their punishment as only the manly can. The few faithfuls clung to their posts till June, and thus held a beginning for another year. JfclCtJIACbAl The Dark Ages. — September, 1 08, saw the marshaling of one hundred and forty-one all-important Sophomores. Many of the so-called Pendleton Guards had returned and made their class. Others dropped hack from the class before, and helped to swell our numbers. This mixture was soon melted into a congenial whole, and everything pointed to a prosperous year. The various college duties were taken up with zeal, and the necessities of the rats ministered to with due consideration of their importance. Time sped on, and we were soon in another period of transition. I he Renaissance. — At the Junior roll-call, many of our old comrades were Found to he missing. Some had been unable to pierce the mystic haze that pervades mathematics, physics, and chemistry; others had seen impass- able barriers ahead, and had sought a course of less resistance. The one hundred and five that were left saw by this time that there were mam ' things to learn, and met the task with determination. June soon came and found hut a few of our number deficient. 59 ifttloticrn The Ninety Sages. — Another dormant period rolled by, and we awoke to assume the duties of Seniors. The pleasures and troubles of summer had eliminated a few of our number. With a class of about four score and ten. we set out upon this, the last stage of our journey. Our dreams had been realized; hut how different the real from the imagined! That long-expected feeling of greatness and superiority failed to materialize; and, in its stead, there was a saner realization of the part that we must play in this world of ours. We have now rounded the last course, and are on the home-stretch. Lei us all pull together, and make the memories of the last days together a si mrce ol j ' i in after-life. Athletic I crocs. — With the opening of another year, many familiar faces on the athletic field will he missed. On the gridiron, Gilmer, Martin. Connelly, Woodward, I ' ritt. Fpps, Henderson, and Foster, led by Captain Manckel, have been our bulwark of strength. The diamond will miss Lachicotte and Schroder, the reliable twirlers; it will newer look the same when no longer graced by McCown, the fast third sacker, and Connelly, the hard hitter and safe fielder, and Jenkins, the steady backstop. On the track- team we have been no less efficiently represented: witness Furtick, Garrett, F.pps. and Stevens, the last a holder of the Southern college record for the pole vault. In our Junior year, we captured the class championship cup on Field Day. May our comrades who have competed so successfully for the honors of the athletic field meet the vicissitudes of life with equal ability! Summary and Prospect. — The parting time has come, and each of us must wend his way from these old walls, and out into the wide, wide world. Old friends and bosom companions must part. Though widely separated, we shall always be hound to each other and to dear old Clemson by a cord ol tender memories. Let us all unite in a farewell cheer for our alma mater, and wish for a glorious future that shall he a source of pride and a fountain of inspiration to generations yet unborn. Our paths thus far have been side by side. In the future, may your ways be ways of pleasantness, and all your paths he peace. 60 6rantifati)rr ' s Class; Tell me a tale, Grandpapa, dear; A true one.

Zerbst, ( ' •. 1 1 65 •Junior Class piston? 3N September, 1910, there were one hundred and eleven men at Clemson who still claimed the Garnet and Black as their class colors. Of this number, only three dropped out during the first term, leaving a class of one hundred and eight. This is by far the largest Junior Class that Clemson has ever had; and its present size is due to the small number of failures in the Freshman and Sophomore classes, ddiis fact indicates that there will probably be very few of us to fail to receive diplomas in |nne. 1 (  12. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, there were one hundred and sixty-one hoys in our class. When this number is compared with our present strength, the fact that our class has had fewer men to fail in Sophomore than has any other class in the history id the institution, size considered, is clearly demonstrated. Therefore, our present [unior Class bids fair to he the largest class ever graduated from this college; and it is our hope and expectation that we shall excel in far more ways than in mere size. in athletics, we are well represented: for, in football, Messrs. Bates and Fzell have starred in every game in which they have taken part; in baseball, we still have our excellent pitcher, Mr. 11. F. Rivers, who will this year cause many a poor, deluded batsman to fan the empty air and look in vain for the Ik ile in his hat. At the beginning of the Junior year, the agricultural and mechanical courses were still further subdivided, die members of our class being finally assigned to whichever of the seven college courses they intend to graduate in. I hit although we have been divided into courses, our aims are one — to make educated, sensible men of ourselves, and to cause our alma mater to be proud that we were once under her care. We have had various experiences in our college careers, but owing to the fact that we have studied for the enlightenment of our minds and the illumination of our sonls, and that we have watched the history making around us, we hope to In- able, by June 12. 1912, to cope with all of the affairs ..I ' after-life. In our class, we have had some very line men: Mi ' . Owens greets one with the touching appeal to take care of my little boy, Sam; Mr. Ross cherishes no ill feeling against his opponents; Mr. bant runs a free tonsorial 66 parlor; Mr. Bates often stays up until three or four o ' clock in the morning, studying! ?) ; Mr. Hutson dispenses Fig New-tons free of charge; Mr. Gage entertains his friends by telling innumerable true ( ? i tales; Mr. Lawton gives us many melodies with his fifiphone ; Mr. Free enlightens us on the subject of horticulture; Mr. Jeter gather- persimmons for the entire class; Mr. Josey is a finished acrobat: Mr. Privette is a chemist of recognized ability: Mr. Covington is an authority on the race horse; Mr. Tompkins tells us that the time is 5 minutes to 40: Mr. Sompayrac volunteers to act a- chaplain of the class; Mr. Tom Perry wins the foot race; while Runt Penned becomes homesick in the Horticultural grounds. With such men as these in our class, we- feel safe in saying that we shall have the finest class that has ever graduated here. 67 Sponsor I PROVOST... ...President J. L.

That we ' ll come hack next September With our own heads just as big. OME one, probably a fool himself, has said that Sophomores are wise fools. The Class of 1913 is a living contradiction to that assertion; and we offer our achievements in mental, moral, and physical spheres as proof of our statement. In the second week of the ninth month of the year nineteen hundred and nine, there appeared on the campus of Clemson College abotit two hundred youthful prodigies. From the moment of our arrival, both the faculty and the students were awed by the sight of so many swelling buds of genius spring- ing up on every hand; and they were forced to realize that we were, indeed, marvels. Then the facultv gently requested our presence at classes, and. in their ignorance, asked us to show them how to draw a triangle, and if John Locke invented the cotton gin — as if anybody didn ' t know that it was the telegraph. The old boys were so incompetent that they had to have us till all of their offices for them — such as commissioner, and so on. They also sent us to the commandant ' s office for hath ticket-; hut most of us. knowing better, went to the treasurer. Our Freshman year was thus heaped with honors; and in Sophomore we have upheld the noble record. With the class football cup already in our clutches, we hoped, at least, to keep it there ; but. alas ! Of all sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these : it might have been. At any rate, we have the consolation of knowing that ours was the first Freshman Class to put out a cup-winning football team. On the ' varsity, Kangeter, Coles, Tupper, Carson, and Britt help to win Clemson ' s victories. Jo Erwin has twice represented us in intercollegiate tennis tournaments. We are well represented on the track team, and in the Y. M. C. A. In the literary societies we have many hard workers and some brilliant men. who. in all probability, will some day astound great assemblies with the music of their nimble tongues. 71 Number thirteen has always been more or less of a hoodoo for even intelligent people, but we arc not daunted by mere superstition; and we shall press on until we have made the name of the ( dass of I ' d 3 known to posterity as the name of the class that sent forth more illustrious men than any other class that Clemson has ewer graduated.

T. jfrrsftman Class I?i6torj Jj X the thirteenth day of September, 1910, a horde of Freshmen, from |I[ 1 rner of our State, filtered these great halls of learning. L Numerous wen the tales that we had heard of the persecution of rats among the hills of Oconee; and as we walked down the halls of the barracks, the memory of these tales loomed up before us in gigantic and vivid proportions. We feared that we were soon to encounter experiences that only the stoutest of heart could survive. During the day we managed very well to avoid the old boys; but oh, such nights! How well we remember those rat meetings, with their old- time cake-walks, songs, dances, and other amusements, which furnished much merriment for the old boys. Then, later on in the night, while we were in peaceful slumber, dreaming transient dreams of dear old home, we would be rudely awakened to find ourselves on the floor with several hundred pounds of bed and mattress on top of us. But our great satisfaction is in knowing that we shall not always be rats, and that, when next year rolls around, whether we be Sophomores or not, we shall be among those who are having the amusement. At our first class meeting, Mr. J. B. Douthit was elected president of the class; Mr. R. C. Shiver, vice-president; and Mr. |. II. Hollingsworth, secre- tary and treasurer. Under the leadership of such men as these, we shall some day leave this great school as the greatest graduating class in the history of ( ' leinson College. So far, our college work has been unusually good; only a few o our number have dropped out; and, with our lighting blood up, and our great class spirit aroused, we are confident that, when the roll is called on that menu nablc day in June, I ' d 4. we shall nearly all of us answer. Mere! In class football, we are showing up very well. Although we have played only one regular game, that one was a victory of 26 to 5 for us; and the last work of our men makes us confident that our team this year will be one of the greatest in the annals of class Football, and that some day we shall be repre- sented on the ' varsity squad by men who shall remain immortal heroes in the Mall of Fame of Clemson College. As to baseball and the track team, we are sure that we shall be as well represented as any other class. 76 Fellow-classmen, in conclusion let me say that, during the next three years of our college life, we sin mid strive with our every effort to upbuild the Class of l c )14. Fellows, when you see one of our men discouraged, try to cheer him on to a better fight. We are beginning to realize that the path of knowl- edge is far from easy : yet, let us realize, at the same time, that anything worth while is worth striving for. And some day. when the curtain that hides the future is drawn hack, may we all find our names inscribed in the highest niche in the walls of the fair temple of Fame. .Vow here ' s to the (lass of ' 14.

As we journeyed on our va we could not think about %£_ £_ M anything of the future but the work that we had to do when we reached our destiny. As we were coming on our way we had plenty of company ( who were rats ) and some old boys too, whom we did not consider as very pleasing company. Our thoughts were serious, and how we longed to be at home once more when we saw the tower of the main building which stood on the far-away lull! At last we reached the barracks and met with lot-, of boys, who seemed to be so obliging as to give us a special imitation to their rooms, which we considered a treat. But this did not last long, so we decided that the best place for us would lie in our rooms during call quarters, and in the woods during leisure time. Everything at Clemson seemed to be unreasonable and disheartening. We would while the time away going about from place to place on the campus. After a week or so we got down to hard work and began to go to football scrimmages and enjoy life freely. After a time of encouragement we began to realize the fact that rat days, as a rule, were not everlasting ones. Soon, the question of the hair came up. and how we longed for this time to come, for it meant so much tii us! And that Fair trip is one to be long remembered by each and every one of us. Those Columbia people thought so strong that we were Sophs and Juniors, that really when the week had passed we began to think likewise. Of course, when we returned to college through a little encouragement, such as we usually get from our old boy friends ( ?). we were speedily taught that we were the same Preps as before the Fair. We began work, thinking each day of our many pleasures while at the Fair, also the one home Christmas, which was but a few weeks off. Oh. those mysterious examinations are be- tween us and our trip home! we thought. Of course, our aspirations were too high to think of a single failure, so we began studying hard, thinking only of the exams which faced us in a few days. But really I think we did not do these exams justice, as we were so tilled with delight at the thought of going home so soon. Our dear old mothers, it is useless to say. were delighted to see us leave in September to begin our college career, hut more delighted for us to return Christmas in our suits of grey, representing the Class of 1915. 79 After Christmas, class football came on. We organized a team that proved to be the most successful one ever gotten out by the Preps, with I . E. I umpkin as captain and M. C. Hunter manager — our first game being against the Freshmen, and one that created a great sensation. The first score made by the Preps so enthused one of the professors of our department, that he decided to take an aerial tour in his hat. The game ended hv a score of 26 to 5 iu favor of die Freshmen. We feel sure that we have men on our team who can make scrub team next year. G. P. I lo I ' I ' M AX. R. C.

' a kid or two, by Jove; [ ' ve often thought that I sin mid love To have a place I could eall home. And settle there, no more to roam. But, hell ! this very thing I ' ve tried, And found myself dissatisfied I ' ve often tried to buckle down To office work, and live in town. And do as civilized folks do — Take in the shows and dances, too. I hit I ' d no more than get a start. When wanderlust would grip my heart ; And in my midnight dreams I ' d see The great white silence beck ' ning me; The chance was slim that I would fail To pack my junk and hit the trail: Back to the solitudes again. With transit, level, roil, and chain. To lead the simple lift ' once more, And do the same thing o ' er and o ' er Day after day, week after week. Sometimes we go to town to seek A little harmless fun; and — well. Perhaps we raise a little hell; We don ' t mean to: hut then, you see. hen we ' ve been out two weeks, or three. In silent places, where the face Of white man seems all out of place, If, then, we hit the great white way. Our joyful spirits get full sway; We try to crowd into one night The joys of many months. ' Tain ' t right? Well, maybe not ; it ' s not for me To shape our final destiny. But when our last survey is run And staked into the great unknown. And to the Chief our records brought Of lonely works, with dangers fraught. Of hardships cheerfully endured That true results might he secured— .Against all these, our little sprees Will seem as ponds compared to seas. The Angel surely will decide Our balance on the credit side; The Chief. I think, will drop a tear, .And bless the Hobo Engineer I OS (Cngltsl) CHARLES MANNING FURMAN, A. l; furman university Professor of English DAVID WISTAR DANIEL, A.

G. 156 t c « R y fv ritZJi teix Daps of jfrrrtom ' T was Monday morning, October the thirty-first, just before the ap- iroach of dawn, when the searching sounds of the bugle reached the 3 r J cars of six hundred and thirty enthusiastic soldier-like cadets, calling them to arise and make a hasty departure for a week ' s encampment in Columbia. Hurrah f r the Fair drip! It had been talked and dreamed of for several weeks. For the new cadets — rats — it meant the grandest trip ever taken: and in the old cadets there was a rising tide of enthusiasm — not of the spasmodic, effervescent type, like wavelets caressing the sands of the beach, but with that warm-hearted, pent-up feeling that made them long to see the fairy damsels. Immediately after reveille, blanket rolls were made by each cadet, and his paraphernalia was placed outside for transportation. Then a light breakfast was served. At 6:30 o ' clock sick call was sounded ; cadets were in a hurry : hello and a broad smile came from every one. About 7:15 o ' clock, just as the golden rays of sunshine were peeping o ' er the dew-tipped hills in the east, the bugle was again sounded for regimental formation. Promptly every cadet took his proper place in ranks. What a glorious sight on Fort Hill, to behold 159 over six hundred neatly-clad soldier boys, full of mirth and happy antici- pation! The Regiment was divided, and the first half was immediately marched to the well-known metrop- olis, which, by its name, keeps fresh in our minds our greatest statesman, Calhoun, and there boarded the first section of Our Special, soon to be followed by the remainder of the Regiment. Band and Staff, which hoarded the second section. Each company, as well as the Band and Staff, occupied a separate car, each id which was beautifully draped in the famous old gold and purple of Clemson. The sections ran about thirty minutes apart, and as they neared each station, sudden hursts of yells and songs pealed out from the cadets. At every station there were crowds down to see us: mothers came t ► see sons; sisters came to see brothers; girls came to see sweethearts; and others came too. The trip seemed short; however, it was .i o ' clock in the afternoon when the corps reached Columbia. Each of the three Battalions was marched from Our Special, which stopped on the siding at the Fair Grounds, to that noted section of the neighboring grounds where our model camp was situated. When each company was assigned to its particular row of tents, a great rush was made towards the enormous heap of rice straw, from which each cadet secured enough of the downy straw to fill his mattress cover. This was his bed. As soon as all of the cadets reached camp, retreat was sounded: orders were published, and new guard was placed on duty. After a delicate luncheon, cadets were released from camp until 1 _ ' i cl ick. The last group of cadets reported their return to the Corporal of the Guard just as the echoes of 12 o ' clock- were fading away on the light atmos- phere. Many of the cadets retired Monday night for their first time, in camp. 160 About dawn on Tuesday morning, the peaceful slumbers of the cadets were disturbed by the presence of a sun of Ethiopia, who, 1). ' his distressing clarion call, impressed the entire corps as a man — if that cognomen is appro- priate — who had lost his mental equilibrium. Mo-o-o-r-n-ing Stair! Get a mo-o-r-r-n-ing State! echoed and reechoed through the camp. He was at once invited to be quiet, livery morning Ephraim was there with the State. Columbia held the cadets until 4:30 o ' clock, when the grand dress parade came off. As our parade was one of the special feature-- of the week, thousands of people witnessed it every afternoon. Late Tuesday night, rumors of VVin- throp ' s visit to Columbia on Wednesday reached cam]). We looked for W ' in- throp, but it was all in vain. Wednesday morning early, rat Jocco alarmed the camp by reporting that Captain Stokes was coming to reveille. This was a day of pleasure. Gray coats thronged the exhibit building ' -, the side-shows, the stock yards, the street cars, the hotel lobbies, the barber shops, and the cafes. Most of us came in and enjoyed a sumptuous repast with Shorty this particular evening. Manx pleasant things which happened on Thursday, can he recalled. hout 10:30 o ' clock in the morning, almost the entire corps ,,f cadets assem- bled on the lower end of the grandstand to witness the great football game between the Tigers and the Gamecocks. At this end. was the Tiger Root- ing Club; while the other end of the grandstand was occupied by the Gamecock supporters. The entire corps showed loyal college spirit when the signal to play ball was given, and this great enthusi- (f v asiri was kept up throughout the game. The game o r c? started off beautifully; several plays of unparalleled beauty were performed by the Gamecocks, but soon they realized that the Tigers, the eminent authors on feathery art, were interfering with their plumage. Enthusiasm became greater as the score- ran up for the Tigers. The Gamecocks ' boosters so. m became discouraged, and before the game was over it might be said that crickets were bold and quarrelsome beside them. They could do nothing more than make spasmodic efforts to smile. Anguish was depicted on every line of their countenances when the game closed with a score of 24 to for the Tigers. 161 Friday was a beautiful daw to say nothing of what was scheduled for amusement. The races were the chief feature of attraction for the morning, while the competitive drill contest between the Citadel, Clemson, and Sumter High School was that of the afternoon. The last evening was spent at the theatre and with our bestest friend — though some of the cadets distinguished themselves at the burning of the Commercial Building about 10 o ' clock that night by saving a cake and a bag of potatoes. Immediately after breakfast Saturday morning, tents were struck and arms were stacked preparatory to leaving Columbia and our many friends. After a week of camp life, of recreation, of fun. of real enjoyment and of pleasures unforgotten, one could hear among the cadets: Broke, broke, broke. That ' s the state of case with me! I would that my coin I ' d squandered Not quite so lavishly. Oh, ' tis well for the fakirs to fake. And pocket the coin with a grin! Oh, ' tis well for the showmen to boost, Aid rope all the credulous in! But the long-faced ice-cream man Has most of the pelf, 1 ween. It ' s oh, for the sight of my hard-earned cash- One glimpse of the last long green! Broke, broke, broke, I moan in deep despair! But ' tis only what one might expect From a week at the Grand State Fair. 162 iUtcrari octettes 163 Calhoun Ittrrarp ortrtj) $rrsi cnts i. T. CRAWFORD Ancrum, J. X Anderson, (i. M.

M. 165 jHStortcal fcrtrf) of Calftoun 3Utcratj ortetp ■■ HE Calhoun Society, as its name indicates, is rich in the treasure of I which history is made. Upon the third floor and located in the J ' southwestern cornei o1 the main building is the hall of the Calhoun Society. Upon the southern wall is suspended a life-size painting of the immortal Jno. C. Calhoun, gazing across the room at the portraits of the young men who, since the organization of the society, have occupied the identical chair that the president of the State Senate occupied during the turbulent period of 76. This chair, together with those of the critic and secretary, was used by the famous Wallace House, and was presented to the society by Hon. 13. R. Tillman, who, at the time of presentation, March 16, 1894, was governor of South Carolina. For this token of interest in the Calhoun Society, Governor Tillman was publicly thanked, and a page of the society ' s minutes was inscribed to his memory. Soon after these chairs were presented to the society, Col. R. W. Simpson, a member of the board of trustees of Clemson College, was invited to make an address upon the history connected with the chairs. The society has never listened to a more patriotic address, and right nobly did Colonel Simpson portray his subject before his interested hearers. The gavel, used by the presiding officer to call the meetings to order, was presented by Hon. 1). K. Norris, and is a souvenir from the historic spot of Mount Vernon. Clemson College opened its doors to the farmer boys of South Carolina in the summer of 1893, and on July 24th of the same year the students met in the chapel to organize two literary societies. Every student was at the chapel on that night and each one drew a slip of paper from a hat, each slip having upon it the letter X or Y. All who drew the same letter were supposed to belong to the same society, but there was a great amount of exchanging going on in order to enable friends to get together. Both of these bodies of young men desired to name their society in honor of the great Calhoun, but by the hustling of the leaders of what is now the Calhoun Society, it was organized first, thereby winning undisputed right to the name of Calhoun. ( )n May 22, 1S ( 4. the main building was burned, but the men managed to save the historic furniture and some other valuable fixtures. Not daunted by the loss of the hall, the society prepared a hall in the mechanical building and continued work in its usual energetic manner. 166 At no time has joining either society been compulsory, but after the first friendly rivalry subsided, the crowd that did not belong to either society began to absorb the society members. President Craighead came to the rescue by forcing those men who did not belong to the societies to do extra literary work under an instructor. Soon the society rolls began to increase and now no outside influence is brought to bear on any one ' s joining. Each year the societies have on their rolls the men who are in college to better themselves their fellow -men. and their country. One of the measures instituted by the men who drew up the by-laws was to encourage good work by awarding annually one medal each to the best declaimer, orator and debater. Advantage was taken of this to turn the contest into an annual celebration, which is till now one of the features of society work. The first annual celebration was held November 1. 1894, with Governor Tillman acting as presiding officer. Those who took part in the exercises were L. A. Sease, S. T. Carter, L. Y. Aymes, R. T. Hallmon, J. E. Leach, and R. S. Woodside, as declaimers ; J. H. Honk- I. M. Mauldin, J. B. Wiggins, and J. S. Garris, as orators; B. R. Turnipseed, F. T. Tompkins, J. M. Blaine, and C. M. Mauldin, as debaters. The winners of the first medals were J. E. Leach. J. S. Garris, and C. M. Mauldin. All three of the societies now in operation have a combined membership in the S aith ( ' an tlina ( rat( trical .ss iciatii  n, and the hist ric i ild Calhi un has more than furnished her quota. Y.

N the third floor of the main building of Clemson College you will find a spacious entrance leading into a hall which is dedicated for liter- al )- work; while, above this entrance, you can see inscribed in baby- blue and orange the words. Columbian Literary Society- Every afternoon before the sun sinks down to rest behind those lofty and inspiring mountains blue with the azure of the sky, it beautifully tints the old society hall and makes it gently glow with the dickering rays of the dying day. Oftentimes a brilliant light flashes upon the horizon as a Southern train wends its way along the valley of the Seneca River; and. with a blast of renewed energy, it rumbles onward until in the far distance it climbs the foot- hills of the Blue Ridge. Thus it was, selecting this site as one of inspiration to the soul, the mind and the body of a group of men, one night, seventeen years ago, met and organized the Columbian Literary Society. The first meeting was held Friday night, March 9, 1894, with Mr. 1 ). M. McCaskill, as president, and Mr. Y. X. Bobo, as secretary. The first roll- call shows that the society began with sixty-six charter members. The first query to he debated in the society was. Resolved, that hope of reward is more incentive t the living of a Christian life than fear of punish- ment. At this same meeting, resolutions were passed thanking Mr. Reckling, a Columbia photographer, for presenting the society with a picture of the Wallace Mouse. This picture is still hanging on the walls of the society h -day. n interesting thing in the society ' s history was that no meeting was held on the night of May Jo, 1894, on account of the lire having destroyed the main building. Mow interesting it would he to follow out the history of the society, giving the names of the men who have struggled and created for her a perma- nent place in the phase of college life to-day ; hut suffice it is to say that for fourteen years the Columbian Literary Society has withstood the storms and has been handed down to us a priceless legacy. 168 And now the time has come when we. the fifteenth class, must go forth to take up life ' s work; therefore, the fate of the society rests in the hands of its coming members. Once more I turn, and with a farewell look upon its motto, Labor Omnia Vincit, wreathed in its true colors of baby-blue and orange. I can only see for the Columbian Literary Society a bright and pros- perous future. Lewis C. Harrison. Wtt WWKT 169 Columbian Jitrrarp ortrtj $rc6i cnts J. P.. KEITH ' . H. ALL L. C. HARRIS!

Stanton 173 J?istorj? of Palmetto litrrarp octrtp j N the summer of 1893. the students of Clemson College, under the j| ' ■ uli ' l 1 . IT. Welch and In- associates, formulated the idea of 0 establishing literary societies at this — an industrial college. The original idea was to form two societies, and with this purpose in view a mass meeting was held in the .Memorial Hall under the supervision of Pro- fessor Stri de. In a ballot taken, the students arranged themselves in two groups, and during the ballot several exchanges were made so that friend might be with friend in the new work which they were to begin. The men who were to form what is now the Palmetto Society intended to call themselves the Calhoun. However, the opposite party went forward with the organization of their clan with such earnest endeavor, that President Strode was compelled to hold a meeting of only part of the student body, at which meeting the present Calhoun Society was firmly established. Recognizing in the palmetto tree an insignia of the individuality of the State and the patriotism of her people, the students of the opposing clan adopted the name Palmetto. The hall was next secured and was furnished by a levy on the members and by private subscription. In this hall the society began to hold regular meetings, presided over by the first president with a gavel from the historic Mount Vernon. Meetings were held each Friday night during the college years until the hall was consumed by the disastrous fire of May 22, 18 ( 4. All the furnishings and records were fortunately saved, and the society again began work in a room of the Mechanical Building, returning to its present quarters at the rebuilding of the main building. During tins period most of the records were unfortunately lost, leaving the early history of the organization to be handed down more as a myth than as a fact. From time to time, though, the Palmetto has sent forth such men as Moise, Speer and I [ill to battle for oratorical supremacy in the contests held at different places throughout the Stale. The first oratorical contest held by the colleges of South Carolina was at Due West in April. 1899. In this con test W. S. Moise, of the Palmetto Society, carried off first honors. Later, at Mounteagle, Tennessee, Moist ' was awarded the Inter-State Medal ol South- ern ( ' i illeges. When the first enthusiasm in society work began to die out, membership became compulsory and the organization again had its lull quota i men. 174 From that time, enthusiasm for work has never diminished in the Palmetto. Compulsory membership was abolished and the work has been voluntarily carried on from year to year. Students who were awkward and abashed before men have joined the Palmetto and have gone from its hall to be the finished orators of the State. Still others have had awakened in them a dor- mant sense of literary ability and have made possible the issue of the college publications. Always forward with a certain well-defined purpose in view, has been its motto, and the records remain to slow how true to this the Palmetto has been. F. H.

FEBRUARY 1, 1911 No. 14 Notice SHORT COURSE FOR FARMERS AT CLEMSON BESIDES THE OTHER STICKSMEN THEY HAVE THERE NOW I (The above notice was flung broadcast through the State just before the Christmas holidays, and resulted in a number of country gentlemen availing themselves of an opportunity for some further educa- tion. There wait some people, however, who objected to it: and below we give some extracts from a speech heard one Saturday evening in a country town.) I am before you this evening to say a few words about a notice which has come into our midst. [Reads notice. 1 Natur- ally, on seeing this notice, the question rises in your mind : What does Clemson need with any more bushmen? Haven ' t they got all the young sticksmen up there now, teaching them to go hack home to the farms, and raise — more sticksmen? These are the questions which have been burning in my mind since 1 read the notice; and 1 would like to say a few words about what made me think of them. In the first place, you all know that Clemson is well located in the sticks ; yes, right on the hanks of a ri er. Now, when we go away, you know we want to o to town. In the second place, practically every man who works for Clemson is a sticksman. We can teach our offspring country things. When they go off. we want ' em to go to Carolina, or Wofford, or Furman, where they can he sports. Thirdly, let me say that the hoys which goes to Clemson is all sticksmen. Because ain ' t they our children, and our children ' s children? Now, fellow-countrymen. 1 say we must set down on this Clemson place. If we don ' t the first thing we know thev ' ll be havin our wives, and daughters, and- — yes, our sweethearts — up there, givin ' ' em a farmers ' wives ' course! Fellow-sticksmen, things must never come to this. We must set down on it! [Loud applause.] [This is typtical of the anti-Clemson articles and speeches written and delivered all over the State by the disciples of the cult, who devote their energies to knock- ing .i good thing when they happen not to be interested in it or connected with it. | Senior Class A GLIMPSE INTO THE PROCEEDINGS OF THAT AUGUST I ' .oliN It is with considerable interest that we learn of the efforts being put forth to apprehend and bring to justice the offenders against the corps of cadets as well as society at large. The offence con- sists in a disturbance of our slumbers in the wee. small hours of the morning by the ringing of hells and tooting of horns. Of course, the argument brought to hear in their defense is that these trumpeters are instructed to make all the noise possible in order to prevent any unusually sound sleeper from missing bis breakfast. This excuse will pass very well whenever ; ' man is broke, hut when all the men are flushed, as Seniors usually are (not), it is one of the greatest outrages upon personal liberty ever concocted for the inconvenience of any body of men, becoming almost un- bearable to the sanctimonious Senior Prh ates.

It should be the last day in the history of a college publication when it can afford to come out into politics, and those parties endeavoring to bring The Tiger into politics, especially of the present degrading type, are unmindful of their collegiate obligations. Consider for a moment— and you will agree with the pen — the great anxiety created throughout the English-speaking world when Sir Robert E. Nickles, a former TlGER official, made the public statement that The TlGER would support and act as special organ for a certain faction in this old Palmetto State Can the present TlGER stall ' allow such an uncalled-for. false, and detestable misrepre- sentation to be made from the lips of the Union ' s most prominent figurehead, the aforesaid Sir Robert E. Nickles? No! Most emphatically. No! We trust that this statement shall lie sufficient to assuage the turbulent minds of the millions of Tige ' - reading people. Suffice it to saw however, that though our great publication is not an organ of the present administration, we are in favor of good government, and are disciples of progress rather than retro- gression. Henceforth, let the world be at ease, and content itself that The Tiger is not a political force, hut ever stands for justice and right, be the governor who he may. Since the woman suffrage movement has gained such considerable influence in recent times, the leaders of that great movement are making efforts to get the most promi- nent newspapers to come out in their behalf. These requests have been con- tinually ignored by The Tiger officials, but without the unanimous consent of the whole staff, the associate editor being especially in favor of declaring ourselves promoters of the suffragette movement. pure and unadulterated. Now we, as mem- bers of a Senior Class to which Captain Stokes has granted free and unlimited privileges, could not afford to have these privileges restricted when we strike the outside world. We are in college to train our minds and develop our characters; consequently, as we are accustomed to nothing other than a long term of four years in taking advantage of the numerous privileges offered here at Clemson College. we consider it unwise to declare ourselves in favor of this already popular movement. The ultimate result of the woman suffrage movement, should The TlGER be prevailed over to come out in its favor, would be a successful usurpation by the feminine sex of our rights and privileges as citizens of the American Union. As a result of such a decision. The TlGER would cause the nation ' s equilibrium to be de stroyed, and such would be altogether antagonistic to our principle of quiet, conservative govern- ment by men only. 180 Ct)c $MlI of jFame Frank Gilmer, the indomitable Pied- montoniaii. has played in every football down since he made varsity.

(AIM NE1 Jfcobrrt 2L nfrnrj) The general secretary of a college Young Men ' s Christian Association must of necessity he a man of un- usual ability, tact, and talent. Be- fore he can hope to do effective work, lie must win not only the con- fidence and the respect of the men among whom lie lives, but their af- fection as well. These things Bob Sweeney has done. The very fact that one may call him Boh, rather than Mr. Sweeney, is assurance that this jovial Texan has already established himself in our hearts as one of the boys, albeit an older and more experienced one. He has shown a laudable aptitude for vari- ous forms of activity, from coaching the scrub football team and acting as substitute bass-drummer in the cadet band, to preaching in the neighboring churches. Soon after beginning his work at Clemson College, Mr. Sweeney introduced two customs, the absence of which had long been noted with regret by the friends of the college; namely, the practise of singing a hymn at the morning chapel service, and the habit of offering up thanks at meals in the cadet mess hall. Mr. Sweeney is the third general secretary who has served the Young Men ' s Christian Association at Clemson, ami. thus far. he seems to have the record for getting acquainted with the men in college, and the people on The Hill. It is our hope that his manly form and ever-ready grin will become permanent institutions with us. 188 Mbit Class Iralirrs L. B. l.TM AN H. W. AnDERSOIS J. A. Barre D. L. Cannon 1). H. Covington J.

These men all did good work and turned out satisfactory teams. Still there was a feeling that the constant change in coaches, which necessarily was accompanied with a change in the style of play, worked to tin disadvantage of the players. The athletic committee, after mature thought, decided that the best interests of athletics could he served by the election of a permanent coach, who should have charge of all athletic interests and sports in the college. It was felt that a coach who would have charge of the men for a term of years would take better care of his players in that he would not likely risk too much in order to win this or that game, hut would rather seek to build up the best possible team for the whole period of his stay. Besides, it was deemed that the coach would have an opportunity to see the class games, which would he in his charge, and could thus select promising material for the succeeding season. Then. too. the fact that the coach would become a regular member of the college force would give him a better hold on the players. The athletic committee made a careful search for the best available man for the work- that it had in view, and finally settled on Frank Dobson, who was accordingly secured last fall for a three year contract. That the committee made a wise selection, subsequent events have shown. Considering the circumstances, tin- last season in football was highly success- fid, and the prospects for a good baseball season seem assured. 194 The Atlanta Constitution had the following to say of Coach Frank Dobson when he was elected coach at Clemson : Frank Dobson, a well known athlete and well able to instruct Clemson men in the various forms of athletics in vogue at the institution, has Keen signed as general coach for Clemson College. Coach Dobson will have charge of the football, baseball and basket-ball teams, and will commence his duties next September. The new coach for Clemson is well known in South Carolina, having played center field for Anderson in the Carolina Association in the summer of 1908. He is good at all of the sports he will have charge of, having entered the professional ranks in both baseball and basket-ball. Dobson graduated at Lawrenceville, the famous Princeton preparatory school, and achieved a great athletic record at this institution, playing on the baseball, football and basket-ball teams, and breaking several interscholastic records as a member of the track team, notably the record for the ICO-yard dash. When a member of the Anderson team in the Carolina Association, he was probably the fastest man in that organization, and his fleetness of foot earned him many a stolen base. Dobson was assistant coach of the Tech football squad last season, and has coached boil] football and baseball at several Georgia preparatory schools. He is now engaged in coaching basket-ball and baseball teams at preparatory schools near Atlanta — his home. 193 jfoortall I A l35PfiITCR5QN Ml55 YOUAG M. W. ARTHUR, Manager • ' Wilson filled that all-important office beyond any possible criticism. To him is due all the credit for the team ' s comfort, through- out the season, at home and on the road. He possessed an inexhaustible supply of spirit, and his desire to work always for the college, the Athletic Association, and the team was un- limited. HANCKEL, Captain and Right End Cap was never out of the game for a minute during the entire season. He showed plenty of class in handling forward passes and running end-over-end. His speed was an important factor in his all-round good work. He fulfilled the duties of the office of captain beyond any possible criticism. BISSELL, Half-Back; Captain-Elect Paul has no equal in the State as a broken field runner. He runs fast and strong, is an excellent drop kicker, dodges with great skill, tackles hard and low, has an inexhaustible supply of spirit, and. to sum up his many virtues, we would say that he is an ideal foot- ball player. His election to the captaincy of the 1911 team was a popular and a wise move. CONNELLY.

Center Frank ' s defensive work and accuracy in snapping the ball, together with his speed, made him without a doubt the most aggressive center seen in any of the Tigers ' games. He tackled on the ends, and got down under punts many times with his own ends. He played every minute of every game. 199 EZELL, Right Guard COCHRAX, Sub-Lineman Sam ' s unfortunate accident in the first play of the Tech game brought to a close a very consistent season of line play fur the big fellow. He nil doubt would have given a good account of himself in that game. He developed into an excellent interferer, and his defense was good ' Boots comes under the head of utility man lily, because lie suffered a badly sprained ankle the first week of the season, and after recovering, was never able to do himself justice. His long suit was defense, and at thai game he was surely clever. He showed much class at full-back in the opening game, but his injury followed this, and caused his downfall. «V WOODWARD. Left End BRITT, S. L.

The team ' s mainstay in backing up the line, in annexing yards on line plays, and in all the punting, he was perhaps our most valuable man. Besides this, his end-circlinu from kick formations was line of our best ground-gainers. BRITT, W. B., Left Tackle Ben was one of the finds of the year, inas- much as he developed from a fair player to a first-class tackle. This year ' s experience will make him a valuable man for next year ' s squad. He had little chance for much offensive work, hut his defense improved with each game. M RT1 X. Right Tackle James ivas really a star performer in the line. He was very seldom boxed, and in- variably either broke up the interference, or tackled the man on plays directed at him or his end. He pi ssessed an abundance of that never cpiit spirit, and was a tower of strength on tackle-over-tackle plays 201 KAXGETER. Half-Back Johnny was a very heady and consistent performer. While not a star in any particular department, his work was of that steady variety that makes men of medium speed able to compete with faster men. He was a good line plunger, though very light, and did ex- cellent work hacking up the line and inter- fering. C( LES, Sub-Back EPPS, Sub-End and Back Pony was the squad ' s lightest possession. Pepper was our most versatile performer, Despite this handicap, he was a most fearless being perfectly at home at either end or half- youngster.

( )ur opener was, as usual, a prep game; and the buys from Gordon were easily de- feated: score, 26 to 0. This was not because we were in good form, but because our young rivals were very weak. Next came the defeat at Mercer ' s bands. We were still an unfinished organization. Mercer ' s game was far from brilliant; in fact. offensively, we outplayed them; but their big team put them in a position to get the only score of the game — a beautiful goal from placement, from the twenty-yard line. Score: Mercer, 3; Clemson, 0. During the following week, the development of the team began to make itself apparent. We journ eyed to Birmingham, met the Howard College Team, and won decisively by the score of 24 to 0. The teams were evenly matched as to weight; but the Tigers ' speed and team-work earned a clean-cut victory. The boys bad by this time found themselves, and on the follow- ing Saturday, at Charleston, the Citadel was defeated in a very spectacular game, fea- tured by man_ ' long runs and clever forward passes by the Timers, and bv good lighting spirit on the part of their wor- thy opponents. Twi  surprises i if the year were credited to the scrappy 204 little team that represented us in 1910. I he first was the result of the game at Auburn- score: Auburn, 16; Clemson, 0. We were outweighed about twenty pounds tn the man: still, the big machine that laid claim to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship crossed our goal line only three times. On one occasion, we scored on a long run by Captain Hanckel, hut it was not all wed. Then came the game of the season with our rivals for State honors. The game was played, as usual, during the State Fair at Co- lumbia, and attracted an enormous crowd. The team that represented the University of South Carolina was a good one, and averaged about the same in weight as Clemson; but they were unable to meet the variety of attacks displayed by the Tigers: nor could they penetrate our line, nor circle our ends. The game resulted in a rather decisive victory for Clemson — 24 to 0. On the following Thursday, at Augusta, we furnished surprise number two by holding Georgia to a scoreless tie. This was as brilliant an exhibition of football as the season could boast of. Both teams showed an excellent attack, featured by the long runs of Georgia ' s backs, and Clemson ' s running and forward passing. Georgia outweighed us considerably; but since their attack was not of a line-plunging variety, we were able to cope with them. and virtually to gain a victory: Nothing startling happened until hanksinvmi when our athletes me! the powerful battering ram operated by the Georgia School of Technology. This team had a most peculiar season of ups and downs, and in desperation tore the little Tigers into shreds. Without attempting to detract one bit from the victory of the Yellow Jackets, the fact that Clemson played a loose and spiritless game cannot be overlooked. Tech was capable of scoring three or four touchdowns at our best; but the score of 34 to credited Tech with greater strength, comparatively, than was really the case. While not meaning in any way to censure Clemson for their showing in Atlanta, still the fact cannot be denied that their game was not up to the standard set in the previous exhibitions. Many men will be lost by graduation this spring, and their places will be hard to fill. Still, we are going to work with all our power to make the coming season a season of success. 205 Srruti Jfoortall Cram H F. RIVERS, Manager V. P. WHITE, Coach EC. XI MS.

These four courts of the Association are used constantly; but so many men play, that no one gets to use the courts often and regularly enough ti i bec illie expert. It is to be hoped that the Athletic Association will take the matter in hand, and make tennis as much a college game as baseball. This will prob- ably be done sometime in the near future, as the Athletic Association has already shown its interest in the cause by defraying the expenses of two men at the State [ntercollegiate meet. We do not mean that the Athletic Association should assume control over the Y. M. ( ' . A. courts, but that it should lay out and equip more courts, and thereby encourage one of the most popular games at this college.

The hall in present use as a gymnasium is too small to accommodate the number of men who would take gymnasium training if they had opportunity; again, it must serve as a dancing hall, which necessitates the removal and dismantling of apparatus almost every week. There are numbers of men who are prevented, by one cause or another, from taking part in any of the outdoor forms of athletics which the college affords, and who need some other form of exercise than that gained in walk- ing over the same ground on campus for one hour every day To such men. a regular course of instruction in a properly equipped gymnasium would be of inestimable benefit. Under the efficient direction of Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, assisted by one or two of the older students, the regular attendants at the gymnasium have made remarkable progress this year, as demonstrated in the exhibition which was held on the evening of February 10th. This occasion furnished enter- tainment for many people of the community, as well as for the large number of cadets present. The stunts were pleasing to watch, amusing, and spectacular.

Turn off the gas; pick that filter paper out of the sink, and take a day off and clean up your desk, until I can get a blast lamp. Now, continued the little Doctor, placing the lamp in position, and resting his foot upon the pedal of the bellows, perhaps I can instil it into your heads that a calcium oxalate precipitate can be reduced in only the hottest of oxy-hydrogen flames. The little Doctor then drew one short sigh of relief, as he focused the barrel of the blast lamp upon the crucible; everybody anticipated at least three seconds of quietude. But the first blast of the bellows sent one great gush of water straight to the little crucible, which contained the precious precipitate, and I immediately thought of something to lie weighed out in the balance room; but. ere I could make my escape, the atmosphere became so dense and smoky in tin- laboratory, that I was somewhat dazed when I reached the window in the other room I can remember only a few of the remarks that issued from the smoky haze behind me: This is enough. I do declare, To make the saints above us swear! Yes. brimstone is too cold. I fear. For him who put this water here. He ' d steal the cuius from dead men ' s eyes. Shame Ananias with his lies; He ' d steal old Gabriel ' s trump from him, And break the hearts of cherubim. Xo trick ' s too low for him to play: May the devil roast his worthless clay! 234 Cijr Jfertitng of tl)r m xn fnmtirrtJ f M XD it came to pass, that as the hoys tarried in barracks, lo, a hungering r 1 seized upon them, such as was never known in all Israel. In the course of time, their hunger became unbearable, and they began to cry out, Shout it. shoot it! Now Shorty, seeing that nothing save food could quell their wrath, called together the twelve captains, and seated them about him. that they might make common supplication for food. Vs he spake, the captains began to murmur among themselves, and some began to curse and swear, and tear their locks, and fling dust into the air, and shout. Shoot it. shoot it! They were sore perplexed, for sorrow had come upon them because of this luck. Xow. seeing that they were in a turbulent mood. Shorty spake unto them. saying, Bear with me yet an hour, and I will feed you, even every man among you. So saying, he returned unto the kitchen, and commanded his servants to bring forth three loaves of bread, that he might cause them to be cut and multiplied by his marvelous skill. And straightway he brake a portion of it. and placing it in large black pans he added unto it spices and oils; thus created he pudding. Also, he took another portion of the bread, and boiled it with water, and formed hominy, called grits. Likewise, he ordered his servants to fetch the small piece of flesh, that he might also cook it. and cause it to increase through his works. Xow. through his process, he obtained flesh, like unto every beast of the held and every fowl of the air. For he had wrought a marvelous change unto it. having converted it into forms such as cannot be recognized by the common detecting senses of man. From the extract thereof he made a new and complex dish, which he named bulljuice. Finally, for their stomachs ' sake, he prepared, in tall earthern pitchers, coffee, and set it upon the table. He then commanded that the hungering ones be seated around the table; and they did eat, for they had fasted for many days. But when they had finished the course, they went away sorrowing, for they still hungered. 235 mitot is a Eat ? During the past fifteen or twenty years there has heen considerable dis- cussion as tii what constitutes a rat. [laving made a few observations on this species of animal, I feel that I sin mid give to the world my little knowledge of the subject. hirst, let me say, a rat is an animal, usually to be found in out-of-the-way places. In September, while young, they are very numerous. Those found at different places had better be given a different scientific name, although all really belong to the same great family — Ratus. By this, I mean, specimens which are abundant here, should be called Ratus Clemsonitus : one at Columbia should be called Ratus Carolinius. The species, Ratus Clemsonitus. is not a new species by any means. It was discovered some eighteen years ago, located in the corner of Oconee County, South Carolina. Since its discovery, its appearance, on the whole, has varied very little. It has the same general characteristics, such as being green, which seems to be its favorite color. When seen in September, while young, it has a frightened appearance and a bewildered look, as if its new surround- ings were rather startling. As I have said before, they usually appear in hordes in September. When seen at this time, either collectively or individu- ally, the specimens are awkward, gawky, and their outward appearance is Mich that they resemble very much a body of country boys of all shapes and sizes, rounded up in one place. In fact, it is claimed by some that this species is bred in all parts of the country, and that it is only in September that the migrate and collect in hordes. 1 lowever, in about a mouth, they shed their old skin and appear in a beau- tiful new suit, grayish in appearance. Then it is that, owing to their new color, they experience an enlarging of the head. And it is then, too, that they ' •iol so happy, if any animal can be said to look happy. It is about this time, too, that they begin to imitate the adidts of the Species. They acquire, from some unknown source, implements which resem- ble the gun used by man. They also have, now, a peculiar way of making motions at each other when they pa s. The young, however, grow very fast, and, in two or three months, owing to their acquired accomplishments, they resemble very closely the adidt ol tlii ' species, man. Bui on careful examination and after a close scrutiny, you can nearly always distinguish them. 236 An exhaustive study is being made of the species; and. in all probability z startling facts m; life history, habits, etc. some startling facts may soon be given to the world regarding their further Later Observations and Xotes Concerning the Species Raits Clemsonitus. — One peculiar thing noticeable in members of this species is the attraction which they seem to have for members of our fair sex. In numerous cases, girls, and even young ladies, have been seen playing with them, leading them about as if with a string, and then, tiring of them, as of an old plaything, dropping them and allowing them to pursue the uneven tenor of their ways. What property there is in the Rati that makes them attractive to ladies has not as vet been definitelv determined. It is commonly believed, however, that the attraction is due to the beautiful gray and blue coats in which they are clothed, and which they can change at will. In about the ninth month after these individuals come into existence. many changes in their appearance and mode of living take place. At this time, earl}- June, they are beginning to attain maturity. Their heads grow larger, and larger; noises, as of joy. issue from their mouth parts; and. alto- gether, they become very active. Suddenly, this activity becomes abnormally great. The spirit seems to move them so that they often leave their accus- tomed sleeping places, and wander about at night. Soon, all signs of them disappear from this region, while it is still early June, and no more is seen of them until fall. In those that return, one may scarcely recognize the former Rati. Since June, they have reached that stage in their development which we call the sophomoric, and all scientific interest in them ceases. For it is a well-known fact that in this stage the species has reached its optimum of development ; the individuals know everything and do nothing, and so we leave them as a problem of vital interest to the Sociologist. 3 Bisriplinarj? Bittp Said Marcus B. to Walter M., Can we not do this thing with vim? Said Walter M., And what is that? Said Marcus P.., Where am I at? Oh, yes! he cried, they must take heed: These hoys must know I am to lead; That if they ' kick. ' with iron hand I ' ll soak the last dodgasted man. Said Walter M., What have they done. That you to soak them are so prone? Why don ' t you let them rest in peace? They bother me not in the least. Great heavens, man! What do you know? Must things forever be just so? hat must I do, may I not ask? Oh, this thing is an awful task! Cadets come up to change their rooms (1 could consign them to their tombs!) Then some of them off limits go, While others visit at the store. In barracks, everything is wrong, This is the burden of my song. O D. ' s simply stand and stare, While hoys just visit anywhere. They pay no heed to sentinels ; The ( ). (i. ' s will not ring the hells. Some hoys will off on permit go; Delinquencies refuse t grow, I ' realise a man, i f he is late. Will he ( ). K ' d by his roommate, They listen nnt t my good talk; I order them they simply balk. They will not do a thing I say, But put it off till some sweet day. The section-marchers stroll on by, Just looking at the clear, blue sky ; The section does as it may please, )h. when, I say. will this thing cease? My hoys, however, do and dare, Did you but see them at the Fair? Oh, wasn ' t that a glorious sight. To see them enter camp at night ? If all my days could be like those, I ' d smoke my weed in sweet repose. Like them, though, they can ' t he now; So humbly down to you I how. O Walter M., he kind to me : Help me; and if you do, you ' ll see That soaking every now and then Will straighten out the worst of men. Said Walter M. to Marcus 1 ' ... Go chase yourself, and 1 will see What can be done along this line With strictest kind of discipline. Go nil and get your red auto. While I go talk to So-and-So; And. then, when you have calmed yourself, Come hack; come hack — don ' t do like Jeff. And Marcus B., on hearing this, Went out, his face o ' erspread with bliss, Saying to himself with joy, Walter Merritt, you ' re the boj ! J A. D. 238 CLEMSON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Clemson College, S.
