He hailed from Abbeville, the home of the judges, the Athens of South Carolina, as he so proudly and so frequently proclaimed to us all in those good old days when the Clemson world was young. He had spent his childhood and boyhood in that town, and he has never known any other place to love as home but that and Clemson College, to both of which his devotion is unmistakable and undoubted. From his first days in College, he took a first place in every kind of work and every phase of college life; and, best of all, he took a first place in the hearts of those who knew him — students and teachers. Everybody always liked Little Dave, in spite of his insistence upon reporting persistently every breach of regulations he saw while on any sort of responsible duty. And that, in a military school, is a supreme test. Most of us respect a man for doing his duty, even at our expense; but it is not very easy to be fond of him in such circumstances. In the classroom, in the Literary Societies, in military matters, in the various forms and phases of college pleasures, such as they were in those early days, he easily stood first, a man to be noticed of teachers and students. At a time when Senior Captain was the highest cadet office, he filled that trying position in such a wax- as to win from all commendation and admiration. Cap0 1910 Graduating from the agricultural course in February, [898, Mr. Henry remained at Clemson several months taking special work in Chemistry. Then he was away, in Athens, Ga., for a while, doing chemical work; but he returned to his alma mater, in r899, to accept a position in the Chemistry Department, where he has been in continuous service ever since, having been in turn instructor, assistant professor, and now for a number of years associate professor. During all these years he has been a faithful and efficient worker, a strict hut lovable teacher, and a man whom to know is surely to admire. Clemson College and Clemson students have never had a friend more loyal to their interests, more eager to serve them, and more able to do a man ' s share in the multiple duties and opportunities of such a college as ours. An enthusiast in college athletics, and interested always in the various other pleasures and activities of student life out- side of the routine, he has always encouraged and fostered all that is wholesome and beneficial for the development of young men. In fact, were it necessary to sum up his official and unofficial attitude and efforts during the nearly two decades of his life here since graduation, it could best be done in the three significant words, the students ' friend. Next to his friendship for students, his appreciation of student life, and his consequent desire and effort to serve them in any capacity, the dominant note in Professor Henry ' s connection with the institution may he found in the term hard work. Me believes in hard work, lie believes that when a student is at work he should work hard; and he insists that those who work under him shall work hard, and persistently, and with honest effort to really do something and get something. I le has no patience with anything else. But he believes that the instructor should work hard, too. Has anybody ever heard of his shirking a duty, or of his shutting his eyes to an opportunity to help a student who is trying to help himself, or of his lack of patience with those who need his help or guidance? ( ne of the noticeable things about Professor Henry is that he insists on keep- ing himself young, lie entered college young; he began his official connection with the institution young; and he is no older now than he was when he received his diploma, eighteen years ago. And certainly this must he the secret of much of what he is and does among us today. 1 le is young enough to know and appre- ciate young men and their affairs, and yet old enough in experience and judgment and understanding to he what he now is, and what it is hoped he may be for many years to come— a guiding light for young men towards unselfishness and friendliness and manliness. —A.

Lieberman 1916 Caps fje Spirit of Clemsion 1 WT COLLEGE may bear the name of a man whose achievements are Tj tin prei tage of his peo])le, and whose reputation is known the world around. Such a man may establish a College with his money, and give to it the prestige of his name; but the reputation of a College is not made in a day. and never can be had as a part of its endowment. Through the course of years, and chiefly by the character and success of those who bear its image and superscription, must this reputation be achieved; and, when achieved, it is the common heritage of every man who has been or may be a stu- dent there. Mr. Clemson did not give to Clemson College the favorable reputation it enjoys. That reputation is the result of the patient work during a quarter- century of many teachers and officers, of trustees, of over twelve hundred grad- uates who dot this continent, and of over six thousand others who, stopping short of the goal of graduation, have yet gone back better prepared to help develop the resources of their native State, and to lift higher and higher still the name of Clemson College. 1 wish for Clemson College always a loyal and consecrated Board of Trustees ; an administration characterized by wisdom, rectitude, energy, and systematic efficiency; a Faculty of teachers who will firing to their labors the solicitude of a parent as well as the zeal of the scientist. But all these will fail of their purpose, and prove but a mockery of vain expen- diture, if they do not eventuate in honorable, manly students, eager to learn, willing to work, and ready to obey. Upon these students rests the responsibility of giving to the public its conception of the spirit, genius, and efficiency of the institution. — Y. M. Riggs iElMmi£,l 3n jWemortam DR. P. H. E.

Soapsuds on life ' s foaming curd. (With apologies to Longfellow.) s m _ OW can I write a Class history, when we have not made a history? M ' Tis true that we have existed at this place, and left our imprint on ■ C the history of the College; and probably this will suffice for our record. ( )ur college career may be likened unto a stream. From the seashore, from the plains, from the hills, and from the valleys we flowed together, and formed the emerald green stream known as the Class of Sixteen. During our first year, we ran merrily along, whirling ' round and ' round in the eddies known as Sophs, occasionally dodging coyly around a Junior snag, while we covered our heads under the banks of Ignorance. We lost a little volume here and there ; but the main current only lost its color, and flowed on to Soph. Here we leap joyfully over the rapids, falls, and cataracts of a conglomera- tion of Senior, Junior, and Soph. Some of our foaming cups were shattered 90 Cap0 1916 to pieces on the rocks of Dave and Speas, but as a whole, or by pieces, we sailed on, with the loss of some of our proud contumely, into the quiet vale of Junior- ship. At this juncture our boisterous waves settled to a quiet, rippling flow, and with an occasional crook and swerve in the passage of our ever-growing- quieter body we flowed majestically into the rolling plain of Senior. Xow with a serious mien and a steady action we tread our quiet channel, looking with expectation and hope for the time when we can flow out into the broad, unlimitable sea of life, and look back upon our passage through college as a tale that is told. 1 have made no mention of the few trips and traffics with which we were intimately connected or otherwise contaminated; but I will say that our fathers are in some respects sorry that we ever encamped at Anderson : this respect being their pocket-books — as regards the female attractions which cause so many of the boys to return to Anderson on holidays. Of course we are stout adherents of the theory that absence makes the heart grow fonder; but we also subscribe for the doctrine that one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. While exposed to the curriculum of the college, we have absorbed many inci- dentals on the sidelines. For instance: In other words, I will say for the benefit for those who came in late, As a matter of fact, As will come out later, Xow gentlemen you must get this. I nless we go without a hair- cut, and wear a long-tailed coat in combination with a Charlie Chaplin cane, and Get the fundamental principle involved and the method of procedure, and listen to a tirade of chemical terms a foot and a half long spieled forth at the rate of one thousand words per second from a volcano of aldehydic knowl- edge, we will not see the history making all around us, and will probably be obliged to call around at the office after chapel, where er-er-er-uh a most gracious and smiling gentleman will be pleased to discuss at length our most minute trials and tribulations — provided he is out of the office. The prolog has been spoken; the main play is about to begin. How shall we act? What shall be our destinies? With a stout heart and a steady faith we set sail upon the sea of life, hoping, ever hoping, and trusting that when we wrap the drapery of death about us, and lie down to an eternal sleep, we may know that we have come to the end of a perfect day.

The next morn- ing, in chapel, they were told that they were the most intelligent Cadets who had ever entered barracks, and that they each would undoubtedly he Presidents of the United States in the near future! When we ' Rats came out, some of us, feeling our importance, became horsey; but we were soon quelled by the Sophs. During the summer, the larva was slowly developing into a pupa: in the fall of [914, these pupae burst from their cocoons, and new species hurst into bar- racks. The characteristics of this species, which is commonly known as the Sophomoices Haserens, are that, although it possesses an extremely wise look, its actions are very foolish. It is parasitic in nature, preying on larvae of the lower stage; aerial in habits — that is, making Rats aerial. ' The Sophomore know- not, but knows not he knows not (Quoted by Jo-Jo). For weeks after their arrival, the Rats continued to kick the broom. go snipe-hunting, play train, and buy Reveille and Y. M. C. A. One Rat found, to his 94 Caps 1916 astonishment, that Y. M. C. A. came in blocks, costing two bits apiece. It was this Sophomore Class that boldly plucked the trophy cup for the Champion Class Football Team. In the fall of 191 5, the dignified Juniors, about a hundred strong, slowly and deliberately ascended the steps of the Alain Building. The Junior occasionally condescends to associate with Sophs and Rats. They are beginning to assume the lordly and dignified look of the Seniors. They look back over the irrevocable past, and gloat over the wise guys and Rats. The highest aspiration of the class is to have those class rings for their sisters ( ? ! ? ? to wear. The golden cap-cord, as well as the diploma, is the apple of the eye for many. ( )ld Bill Harris, our great football hero, is still as vainglorious as ever. Xone can forget the time, when he kicked goal in the Clemson-Carolina football game, how the bashful boy was assailed by bouquets and kisses. Tub Alford has quit making his nightly raids ; he still regrets the time when he tried to persuade Cap ' n that he was asleep. Sam Littlejohn continues to administer light to our room. Ribs Cathcart was actually seen one day without his charac- teristic chaw o ' tobacco in his mouth. At the time, he was holding a lively conversation with a young lady. Blit we must not forget our beloved Faculty. Professor Dicky. in one of his intricate chemical observations, discovered a new antidote for the poison, ignorance. This compound, knowledge, is very complicated, and is admin- istered under the influence of an anesthetic. Professor B. has recently bought a vacuum cure for bald-headedness. He will probably grow hair like a poet next vear. Professor Tommy is now actually growing a moustache, and is now nearly sweet sixteen. Professor Gus follows the line of least resist- ance ; he puts into practice the axiom that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. A good many Juniors, who are fair representatives of their home counties, are still seeing History making all around them. We are at the happy moments of college life. The bright and rosy pathway lies before us, and many are the hearts that are looking ahead, waiting for the Senior year. M. M. Brick, Historian . ■ r ;■;;•• ' -... r:- Class Officers T. M.

We matriculated: we had J L_ J dreaded that from the first. Then we bought our radiators and bath tickets— they were selling like hot cakes. We went to our rooms, being escorted in haste, and receiving there a warm reception from the Sophomores. Everybody was glad to see us then. We shall never forget those superior beings— the Sophomores. One condescended to ask me my name: and then 1 brought him a bucket of water, cleaned up his room, and made down his bed. He impressed his name on my mind in a manner which all of us Rats will agree was very indirect, though effectual. Rut as the months passed, things changed : and in regard to this you must not gather a wrong impression of Clemson. These changes must inevitably occur, though the process may not endear one to the College. After a short stay at Clemson, when the Sophs had become tired of entertaining us. we found that no one cared particularly whether we lived or died ; and few were sufficiently interested in us to remember our names. One night as I lay thinking of all these things, I must have dozed off to sleep, when sud- denly there appeared before me a little old wrinkled woman, with a paddle in her hand. She then led me into the future, and showed me my classmates, now lordly Sophs. 1 then saw them as Juniors; and last of all, Seniors. Rut sad to relate only about half of them reached the privileged Class. As they marched up the aisle to get their sheepskins, 1 could not help but contrast them with the scared, sheepish Rats they once had been. After showing me all these things, the little old woman disappeared. Then, strange to say, I heard a great noise; and realized that 1 had hit the ceiling. After waking the remain- der of myself, 1 found part of the bed on my body, and the other part scattered over the room. I had evidently put too much weight on the wrong side of the bed, and it had taken a crazy notion to capsize. — W. A.

C. 1916 Caps 105 Jfarrtoell to Barracks Me IT seems almost as if it were yesterday that we first came to this College to begin the task of quenching our thirst for knowledge. And yet we have worked together for four long years, and we are now about to graduate. As we stand at the summit of our educational endeavors, we can look down in two directions: The view in front of us is hidden by a cloud of providential wisdom, and we can obtain only an imaginary vision of what lies beyond. But we can look back, down the slope over which we have just risen, and view the beautiful scenery of a four years ' life. Well do we remember when we first came in sight of barracks. We were fresh from our homes; and our minds were drifting back to the loved ones left behind. The barracks appeared to us a most forbidding wall of rock, brick, and mortar. There was nothing inviting in the external appearance. We went on into bar- racks, and the very walls of the rooms, in their barrenness, almost made us shiver. We could but wonder why we had come to these lonely, uninviting sur- roundings. All faces were strange to us. and we longed for something familiar. We could then see nothing before us but four long, tedious, unpleasant years of barracks life. No wonder we were melancholy and ' blue, and longed for messages from home. But now. after four years of life here, we have become endeared to barracks life, and it is with a deep touch of sadness that we realize that soon we will bid this life farewell. After four years of life here together, we no longer look upon this row of barracks as a mere composite of rock, brick, and mortar; but we think of it as almost a second home. Surrounded as it is with the traditions made dear to us because of our having lived here together in good fellowship almost as a family; associated with spots lovingly cherished in our hearts because of the remembrances of the obstacles surmounted in our upward climb, because of the lingering thoughts of the friendly companionship connected with them, and because of the thoughts they bring to us of the friends who began the climb with us. but who dropped out along the way; it halls and doorwavs holding the familiar faces of those who have greeted us from day to 106 Cap0 1916 day i n our rooms, who have sympathized with us in our daily ups and downs, and who have, in fact, made life more pleasant to us — I say, surrounded as it is with all these things, we find it hard to think of saying farewell to barracks life. Already we begin to count the cost of saying farewell to these pleasures. Let us for a moment look around us, and see what we shall miss. We shall miss the old familiar pleasure of crowding out behind barracks when we hear the yell, Fight! Fight! to form the big ring, and see two of our barracks family settle their disputes. No longer can we lend our aid to help initiate the Rats into the ways of barracks life. The task of making them carry large pails of water, clean up guns, sweep rooms, sing the laundry lists, dance, etc., will have to fall into other hands. Somebody else will have to take the pillow and do the blinding; and our slumbers will no longer be disturbed by the noise of the Soph- omores as they give the newcomers their first lessons in the art of midnight aviation. And somehow, even now, we wish that we were Sophomores, and could again join in the fun. No longer will we meet together in the familiar old mess hall, to scramble for our share of the tender mercies and tough bull. We will miss the old familiar paper-littered table above which the light used to hang, and the locker where we piled all our belongings, from the letter from her on down to the hosiery which covered our feet. We ' ll even miss the friendly visits of the wearers of the khaki, and the wielders of the big stick, who came tapping, tapping on our chamber doors. We won ' t be here to cheer the rising Tigers on to victory. We will even miss the old familiar face of De Wal- lace, as he lounges around the Y. M. C. A. store; of Brutus Rothell, as he bustles around trying to get the Taps staff to work; of our beloved Majbr. Corp Carwile, as he struts around with his military figure; of Bus McKeown, as he smiles at the ladies; of Jake Wise, as he jokes with Capt. Brice Waters; of Dag Folger and ' ' Bill Wright, as they endeavor to get the dear boys to pay up for Taps; of Hugh Agnew, as he endeavors to pull The Tiger along; Mule Littlejohn, as he cuts his plantation steps in middle barracks ; or of Goat Anderson, as he laughs at his own English jokes. And all up and down the line we will miss faces, and familiar objects and surroundings which seem almost a part of us. 1916 Cap0 107 What a change has come in our attitude toward barracks life, since now we know by sweet experience just the stuff of which the inside is made! As we go out into the night, and turn again for one farewell glance at these barracks, and see the beautiful rays of cheering, warming light radiating out- ward into the dismal world from the hundreds of windows, a thought comes to mind that we should be like these rays, coming from barracks to radiate out over the world, and shed the warming, cheering rays of useful lives over a dreary, dismal world. So. good bye, barracks life ; and many, many thanks for the great lessons taught us, and for the many friends brought us. Go on thy way shaping other lives; bear the many abuses ; and remember that often our thoughts and sympathies turn once again to thee. Farewell ! — S. C.

He accordingly gave orders to that effect ; and the long column swung down the road, a sight to behold. Due credit must here be given to the men who composed the head of that column.

At last Sandy Springs, with its great railroad yards and false name, was reached. There the larger part of the Corps boarded a special train, and went merrily on to My Town. An advance guard of about thirty men was sent ahead on foot. These poor boys bad a very irksome task, for they had to wait every few minutes to allow the main body to come into sight. Finally, the great city was reached. The usual crowd of small boys that hang around the lot familiar with the circumstances ■ty of animals unloaded, and not a ileasure trip, for on arriving there, ly of straw was lying around, ready imp settled down to its usual quiet 1916 Caps 151 But real life did not begin until the following morning, when the chief bugler, becoming provoked because the fair goddess of sleep persisted in wearing her hair in curl papers. proceeded to chase her out of camp. It was only then that the Corps learned how very near an encampment may resemble War a la Sherman. For four long days the command rest was as rare as old maids ' wedding gowns. Military affairs were absorbed by the yard, even by the lowest private in the rear rank. From the earliest crack of day until the tired boy crept between his three oat straws at night, he fought, swore at his luck, flirted, and did various other stunts. The people of Anderson are certainly enterprising. One man secured the services of eight hundred men in harvesting a very luxuriant growth of cotton stalks; and the city barbers also secured, a rich harvest by shearing Red. On the third day, practice was given in tent pitching; then all took advantage of the many newspapers in camp, and the fairy stories they contained regarding the joys of camp life. But the crowning feat was pulled off on a later day when fifty men were martyred in cold blood, without being given the least warning, while taking practical lessons in butchery, and. worse luck, were forced to sit on a bank for an hour and thirteen minutes. Life in camp was not all sorrows, however. The last note of recall would usually go chasing out of camp, trying to keep up with the uniforms flocking up town; and dinner became peeved because of being so often slighted. Taps ceased to be a call of the day, having been pushed across the line into tomorrow. All of this surplus time not actually crowded with entertainment was very profitably employed in dreaming of what was to follow. Why. those boys were petted so much that they actually began to consider them- selves of some importance in the world. It was great fun to see some of them go strutting down the street with a you-just-watch-me air, walk into a cafe, and demand, Gimme a sandwich and some tooth- picks. And thus was the Colonel ' s opinion borne out. that All boys are jackasses more or less, and must he ruled accordingly. The Corps attempted to re- pay all social obligations with a parade, but only succeeded in postponing the demise of a good old Auntie. The stock of white gloves began to run low after a few days ' constant use; hence, the local under- takers did a flourishing busi- ness until their stock ran out. Auntie positively refused to depart unless she could do so in style, thus causing the disappointment ot several expectant mourners. But, to retur to the parade — it was pronounced a great success, probably due to the fact that the best-looking fellows were placed on the side next the ladies : but. to be perfectly frank, the poor boys had great difficulty in keeping their eyes to them- As all things must, the encampment finally came to an end. The tents vanished in bundles. and the Cadets over the Blue Ridge. After a whole week of perfect bliss. the heartless wretches marched gaily off singing, We rode old Furman on the rail, and It ' s a long way to Clemson College; but my bed ' s right there. 152 Caps 1916 o TOe €xtra Waiktv ' $ Lament EXTRA!

The bell was ringing second call, the bugler did his best ; But sleep seemed better than reveille, so I took the morning rest. But, Oh ! that I had stopped at this, for now I could not stop. A cap that was not military adorned my hoary top. A soldier clad in khaki clothes (Yabbo was his name) Helped put me out on Extra Square, that ofttimes wins much fame. Reports were read out every night of something I had done. At two o ' clock on Saturday, I carried out my gun. 1 felt my burden growing great as every minute passed; Until at four o ' clock there comes the extra that is last. ' Tis the last one I will walk today; but surely not the least. My gun now weighs a hundred pounds, O ! troubles never cease ! The drag is the thing that makes it hard for us to tread the Square. We watch the clock with eager eyes, as five o ' clock draws near. But the privilege we once enjoyed of watching time go by, By looking at the tower clock, to us they now deny. But now around the Square we go until we get half-way — They turn us there, and we can ' t look to see the time of day. Hereafter, boys, I ' ll do my best to optimistic be; I ' ll wear a regulation cap, and go to reveille. But, with all these extras ahead of me, my optimistic phrase Is, Well, there ' s one thing I can sav, I won ' t walk for two more days. — M. M. B.

Even this pleasure is made less enjoyable by our reflection upon the incomplete- ness of this Annual. In the first place, it will be noted that there are blank sheets between the covers of this book. Such shortcomings are due to the fact that this is a war edition. Of course our readers are expected to bear in mind that the posters and other illustrations of this book were made by men attending classes more or less regularly at Clemson. As to the contents of this book, we of the Class of 1916 have a:tempted to give an entirely new order to the records of the things that those most intimately concerned have done this year — we trust that the reader will be pleased with the fruits of our labor. 166 Cap0 1916 It has been the peculiar function of Taps, throughout its history, to be a chronicle of a year ' s relationships established among Clemson students. So it has been our aim to char- acterize, as fairly and as justly as possible, the life at Clemson as it really is at the present time; to portray the men who are now helping to further Clemson ' s manifold activities. It seems fair, then, that this Annual be taken for what it was intended to be — not an analysis of student minds, nor a study of student actions: but rather a reproduction of the environ- ment in which Clemson students live — a story of good old Clemson. The years that have passed have been tilled with the successful achievements of men who have gone out from Clemson ; and during the present year men yet in cadet life have striven and fought for what they have won. All of the men now on the cadet roster will, after four full years of student life, go out. in their turn, into the world — some to be forgotten: some to live forever in the life of their alma mater. Rather than continue a reminiscence of what has made Taps a book of memories, we would sound a note of gratitude to those who have helped make this book what it is. To those who have lent us their interest and co-operation should go a large share of the honor for whatever success this Annual may achieve. We of the Class of 1916 are heavily indebted to Prof. D. H. Henry for his financial counsel. He, in a large measure, has made this book possible. We are grateful to another member of the Faculty, Prof. M. E. Bradley for his invaluable advice, and for his kindness shown in the criticism and correction of our manuscript. We appreciate the interest of Prof. S. T. Howard, our photographer, in the making of this book. To the members of the Alumni Association are words of appreciation due. Especially do we thank O. H. Beymer, for his contribution, Dear Old Clemson as the Public Sees Iter. We are grateful to the Library Department of the College for its many courtesies. We ask especial attention to the departmental posters, which are the contributions of Henry Trott, of the Architectural Department, and which, to our mind, are of distinct merit. To Mr. Trott ' s assistants, Messrs. Taylor, Kuykendal, and Lieberman we tender our thanks. We are grateful to Prof. A. Simons, for his counsel given Mr. Trott. To the Electric City Engraving Company, and Mr. Cates, of the Observer Printing House, we acknowledge our indebtedness for their painstaking efforts in creating this volume. To the entire Corps of Cadets are words of appreciation due. To W. T. Freeman, ' 17, J. D. Haynesworth, ' 18, M. M. Price, ' 17, R. C. Rowell, ' 17. H. R. Chapman, ' 17. and Buck Pressley, ' 18, the Class of 1916 is grateful.

Barracks trembled, barracks rocked, barracks poured fortb a multitude of long- repressed sobs. In the mess-hall, at early dawn, Red shouted the tin- welcomed notice: Mary is lost! Disappeared strangely! All implements of engorgement were dropped, and silence prevailed. Then the stillness was rent by a shriek. Jake Wise had fainted. Throughout the Corps of eight hundred speechless soldiers a realization of the terrible truth found its way. Mary was lost. The lovely Mary — Mary, the goddess of pleasure — Mary, the queen of queens — Mary was gone. She had disappeared very mysteriously and suddenly. Perhaps Mary had fled through the darkness of the night with some foppish revenue reducer. Perhaps she had been sto- len by a band of roving kidnappers. Or it might have been that she had been drowned in some profound campus mud-puddle. But to the winds with idle speculations! shouted Kyzer, the ' J ew - Indeed, this was a time for mental action. And there was action. Calculations were made by thirty-two very civil engineers. Hugh Adams reckoned by numbers with a speed which made one-year men wonder why he had not graduated ten years ago. Yet, after all the kaydcts had reasoned and com- 168 ap0 1916 the same perplexing ques- puted till they were well-nigh exhausted, they v tion : W ' hereinthehell is Mary, anyway? It is no wonder, then, that barracks sobbed audibly and shook convulsively. No wonder throngs of frenzied kaydets rushed to and fro, here and there, over the two-thousand-acre campus. No wonder students conjured up morbid pic- tures of accident and of death. No wonder Bill Wright broke down and wept, when he realized that he had no one upon whom to lavish his maltese affections. The evening of this unquiet day approached, and yet no Alary had been found. Hope fled, grief sick, before the sad music of Hen- derson ' s bugle, which sounded the assembly on the small parade square. Kaydets turned out of quarters en masse. Sorrow-stricken ivates dragged their ill-kept bodies into 2 famous plot of concrete. Bold men came with fear-ridden faces. Strong men stag- gered into the Square. Weak men crawled in. The great gathering of gray-clad men was surcharged with sorrow. All will agree that the sight was very touching. Pandemonium was about to break loose. Someone had to soothe those eight hundred aching souls. The student leader was equal to the task. With the dignity of a statesman, he mounted the shoulders of two stalwart recruits. His face bore heavy lines of care. His voice trembled as he spoke to the anxious mob : Fellow-students. 1 — we— e — mu — must preserve the — er dignity of this great and beloved institution of politics and hazing. 1 — er do not advise lynching the — Then there sailed into the midst of this surging sea of humanity the dynamic form of the College Faculty ' s cheer leader. Without introduction, he began to speak fluidly : Gentlemen, on no other occasion have I experienced just such a sense of pride in my ability to solve your most intricate problems. The first thing we must do. 1 suppose, is to consult the Harvard curve, and thus get the case on a firm working basis. He wrinkled his brow and unrolled a parchment over which he bent. A tremor passed over the multitude. 1 le raised his head, mopped Ins brow, and readjusted his spectacles. The crowd craved action. One minute elapsed; then the Doctor again raised bis head. Success beamed through his gold-rimmed spectacles. 1016 C a p s 169 Quite easy, gentlemen, a simple matter of local deduction. This curve has solved the problem. The high segment indicates the advisability of taking desperate measures: which is to say that we must use the power of the press. Where is Agnew ? The Tiger covers the campus like the dewdrops.

Prexv saved the day by smiling reprovingly at the two hleeding kaydets, and saying to the mob proper. In case it is not possible to use the voice of the Tiger — and such is the case — we must consult the extremities of this Harvard curve. Ah, gentlemen; I have it! Must I tell you now? Well, well, so I shall. Here the speaker paused. All eyes were upon him. ( me could have heard a feather drop. Gentlemen.

For the sake of your parents, for the sake of your aged acquaintances at home, for the sake of Southern womanhood, and for the sake of yourselves, you must find that fair dame. Then with one voice the concourse roared, On to the Trustee Building! and, accepting sped to the small red shack. The Doctor led the mad rabble up the very steps of the historic pile of brick and mortar. It was he who forced the half-rotten door; he who dashed up the shaky stairway. Holder spirits followed. The Varsity halfback, upon reaching the attic door, battered it down, and twenty men tumbled into the opening. a few exhausted Freshmen, they 170 Caps 1916 The room was as dark as pitch. The breathless gang of husky Carolinians stood motionless in the lightless chaos of air. Something had to be done at once. Indeed, something was done. A sickly looking Chesterfield killer scratched a match on the cold attic floor and — there was light. It is needless to say that the awestruck spectators stood aghast. The room was empty. Really the room did appear to be empty, till the keen-sighted entomologist, Mule Little John, discovered in one corner of the spacious apartment, a small carpet-bag, which he recognized at once. Mule gave vent to a victorious cry as he raised from the floor a letter bearing the seal of Miss Mary Fairtrip. The letter was opened by Mule, but was read by Shakespeare Sitton, the master of the colonial art of expression. He lifted his voice and read to a silent audience: My Dkar, Stricken Corps: Ere you read this note, I shall he far away. The heartless trustees of your benign insti- tution will have carried me away from you, maybe forever. I am as sad as I can be. I probably shall never see you again; and you may never see me again. But do not forget me. I shall leave you a few tokens. You will find them in my traveling bag. For Dear Mouser Hamlin, I leave a pair of ' bones ' ; for Brice, I leave five dozen bottles labeled ginger ale; for old Topsy Heldman, 1 leave four bottles of ' Old Walker ' ; to Larry Wannamaker, I bequeath nine pints (approximately) of poker chips; and I leave seven decks of cards for Harold McConnell and Fritz Otto Myers. Keep these, and by the use of them you will remember me. Do not be angry with the poor, thoughtless trustees for wdiat they have done to me. Forgive them. Do not, in a fit of anger, suspend them. And remember me always as a good, light-hearted girl. Mary F. Poor Mary. Thoughtless trustees. Ah, they had done the foul deed. They had given their ruthless instincts full sway. Yes, the trustees had done the hor- rible deed. The mob loosed its tongue. Then, with a harsh, menacing roar it rushed out upon the Square. _ ' §gfe f m T„Mr- 172 Caps 1916 ATHLXTIC 50C1ATF0 1 Officers; of GTfte Clemson Stfjlettc gtooctatton Prof. J. W. Gantt President D.

But this is not all, for the smoldering spirit of the Tiger has begun to be aroused, and to permeate the hills of South Carolina as in days of old. We have not won an S. I. A. A. championship in any branch of sport during the past year ; but every team that has won from Clemson has had to go to the limit of their skill and endurance, and were well aware that they met an adversary worthy of their steel. TRACK The track team was unable to find an opponent willing to compete, so there- fore was forced to disband without losing or winning a meet. What kind of team we had is impossible to estimate ; but the material looked especially good, and there were many regrets that the Tiger could find no prey on which to sharpen his claws. B W.I ' .ALL The beginning of the baseball season found us with an inexperienced team, and the hopes of all Clemson supporters sank when the Tigers lost their series early in the season to Erskine ; but this team was not to be denied many a ( victory that was to be won by fighting to the last inning. The team was charac- terized by its splendid spirit and good team work. Both Coach Sitton and the team deserve credit for winning the State Championship with a team that at the first of the season looked rather inferior. FOOTBALL Clemson ' s football season was indeed unique, in that they began the season with probably the best prospective material since 1907. and played the hardest schedule that a Clemson team has ever undertaken. They fought an uphill bat- tle, from October 2 when they met Davidson at the christening of Riggs ' Field, until they met the Red and Black in Athens on Thanksgiving Day. A team that can play seven grueling contests, with old Dame Fortune always making overtures to the other team, and under such conditions never lose heart or falter, surely needs no other eulogy. For years to come we will point backward to the football team of 191 5 as being the gamest that has represented Clemson in many a year. It is interesting to note that, of our big games, two were tied, one was won, and four were lost; while two touchdowns is the best that any of our 174 Cap0 1916 opponents could make against us. The team had many opportunities to score, but through fumbling these chances were lost. The defense, however, was good at all times. The team was followed throughout the year by injuries, and it was through the most superb effort on the part of the team and King Bob that his Tigers made it possible to reflect glory on the standard of the Gold and Purple. BASKET-BALL )ur basket-ball team showed much gameness, but was outclassed by several of the strongest teams. The pep shown in the Newberry game made us all feel proud that we were members of the Tiger clan. The comeback which was shown in the game with the Presbyterians, in catching up with a fifteen-point lead, was indeed inspiring, for it took a desperate spirit to catch up with the fleet Pres- byterians. This is the first year that Clemson has ever had adequate space for basket-ball, and we all feel confident that next year we will overcome our handi- cap, and will win the State honors in this sport.

If he handles horses and pigs as he docs the pigskin, he will be some Vet. Dopie Major, one of the team ' s weapons of offense, holds down fullback like the football player he is. DopiE has been growing into big game style for the past twenty-one years; and he bids fair to get some real stuff out of bis 147 pounds, just as he has done for the past three years. He is bashful among the ladies, but he insists that he feels perfectly safe when bitting the line. In the Clemson-Carolina game ' 14, I )opi k ' s wonderful field-goal kicking won him the name of Ursa ; and, as Captain-elect, there is no doubt that he will live up to his name next year. I ' m, 1. I [arris is the the fastest ever when in saying that l,o zo pigskin comes his wa laziest man in school off the field; but e gets loose in a game. We feel safe just simply forgets himself when the Frusky came ambling along from Union three years ago ; and, although he maintains that he loves the world in general, Union-suits him. Bill weighs 160 pounds, and is only tender twenty in age. He is coming- back next year to show the young Tigers some real foot- ball; and, take it from one who knows, he can do just that thing. We won ' t worry about right half next September. Red McMillan broke into fast company in his Sophomore year; and during the past three years he has been making that same company go some. Red holds down quarter in vet- eran style, and has a wonderful record for staying in the game. He is in bis third year, and gets more than is usually the case out of his 133 pounds. We are pulling for Ren to come back next year : and we are counting on him to help the Tigers get back at the Gamecocks. Twenty-two years ago, on a rainy and cold morning, HaWKSHAw SuGGlE SuGGS was born in York, somewhere; and since thai time he lias been growing for the Tigers ' ex- clusively. No disappointment is Suggie, for most of the teams we play will testify as to the difficulty of getting over him at guard. Hung Lkk was one of King Bob ' s corner- stones in our strong line of the past season. He won his C in his Junior year; and long may he wear it! ' Big Cox is another lad that came into his own during the past year ; and he was a great gain in the line. Cox played guard like a big leaguer last fall. He weighs 175 pounds. He also brought some of the old-time Laurens spirit with him when he came this way. He is the kind that makes the ball go over on downs ; and what the Tigers need is more like him. SarGE PoolE, toward the end of his course, began to play end in a manner that attracted the expert attention of King Bob ; and during the past season he was a good man in that difficult position. Sarge comes from Laurens; and that speaks well for the town, too. His 167 pounds of good, hard bone and muscle won him recognition in class football; and his circumnavigating proclivities billed him for Varsity early in the past season. Sarge is twenty-one years old. Mutt Ca great style tl years, ye; been holding down his job at Guard in He has been a hard worker for three une into his own this past season, thereby putting in some valuable work for the Tigers when they were in most need of it. Mutt is twenty-two years old, and conies from the country of — . Oh, well; doesn ' t matter where he is from; lie is a Tiger now. Mule LiTTlEjohn won his C in his Sophomore year, and for three years he lias been playing a wonderful game at tackle. Mule is twenty years old, and weighs 190 pounds. Football, ladies, and entomology are his specialties; but some Georgia men might think differently, since he lived up to his name in the Thanksgiving game at Athens. Ask them when you see them. You never would believe it from his graceful carriage and youthful appearance: hut you can ' t tell. Duck Harmon hails from down State, and he do play some end. He is twenty-one years old, and weighs 157 pounds. Duck is the fastest end that the Tigers have been fortunate enough to put out recently, and promises to do great work next year. He won his C this year, and will tack ano.her deserving star below it before the 1916 season i- ovi r. He ' ll be a good bed-rock for the new coach to build on when things open up in the Tiger jungle in September. Bill Matthews — well, when you say Bill you mean fight — fight to the finish. Bill ' s way of expressing his con- viction gives a light opera effect to the game, that is great in putting the fight into the line: and when he is in the game, it makes the whole team work like a well-balanced flywheel. You can always count on Bill to be on the job; and no need to worry about who is going over that tackle. If he doesn ' t make some young Tigers envious next year we are mightily mistaken. Bill is twenty-two years old, and weighs 182 pounds. Mac McCoxxei.l did great work in winning the class championship in ' 13. by his fast running; and the next fall h ° was just as fast with the Varsity crowd ; but it was the past season that he did his best work, winning his C. Mac is hard to beat at left half, and the Electric City. the town that produces sho ' - ' nuf football players, should be proud of this Tiger. A back field like Mac is a winner. M vc is only twenty-one years old; but weighs the heaviest 1 [86 pounds) yet. Bone Jones has been a good steady man for three years ; and we were glad to see him get aw ay with his letter this year. Bonb plays end like he eats — because he loves it; and he has a habit of getting down under punts that makes him a good man for the job. He is twenty-four years old, and weighs ISO pounds. It hurts the Tigers to lose men like Bonesy. Fish Witsei. is from the Bottry, and he has the energy that usually characterizes that bunch. Fish played quarter and half the last season, and he is some fast in either of those positions. He won his C last season; and we predict that he gets another one as a token of appreciation next year. Fish will be one of the Tigers bed-rocks in September Anyway, we are going to put our money on Fish, and take a trip. Mutt Gee is one of the hardest line hitters that we have had in some time. Mutt isn ' t so heavy, weighing about 160 — but he will grow yet; and when it comes to playing the game, he doesn ' t know when to stop. He comes from the capital city, and it is his ambition to beat the Gamecocks a million; and that is just what we expect to see him, with a few more Tigers, do next year. The o-o score of last season will put the proper spirit into the winning dope for our bunch in 1916. Mutt plays fullback. 1916 €ap0 185 ® )t Cennes ee Crip w O had forgotten that liard, hard game which the Tigers had fought with he Tennessee Warriors in 1914? Not a soul! Ask Mule Littlejohn or Duck Harmon if that 1914 game wasn ' t something to he remembered! King Bob hadn ' t forgotten that game, either. So the fun commenced in getting the Tigers ' machine in readiness for the fray of 191 5. Beautiful ( ! ! !) onditions prevailed the week before the day of the game in Knoxville. Oh! it was ideal ( ? ? ) For foothall ? No ; for one to get drowned. It rained and rained, and then some more. But this didn ' t stop things; it seemed to make the best kind of practice weather. King Bob gathered together his band of warriors every after- noon in the drizzling rain ; and, oh, what practice they did get! Bang, smash, bang! But, by the time that the last practice came, those Tigers were ready to eat wire nails and brickbats. The team was in beautiful trim for the game over the Mountains: all except Dopie Major — Dopie, who was suffering from a very bad leg and who had to be left behind. Early in the morning, the Tigers went down to a last delightful ( ?) breakfast of hull and toast, before going out into civilization again. Embarking at the Main Building, they went to Calhoun via Clink- scales ' fast mail. There they took the Southern to Spartanburg, where they changed for the best part of the trip— over the mountains to Knoxville. After a delightful trip to Asheville, and from there, by the French Broad River, to Knoxville, they reached the end of their journey. The Tigers had Tilled themselves with the quick, snappy air of the mountains, so that, when they got to Knoxville, they were rearing. After a good supper, and a good night ' s rest, the team was in tiptop condition for the game. Soon the time arrived for the referee ' s shrill whistle to sound. My, but didn ' t those little Tigers look insignificant be- side that huge team of T ennessee moun- taineers! But what does looks amount to. anyhow? Smash! the big Tennessee backs would hit that stone-wall of ours! And — Bang ! They would be thrown for losses! The big yellow jerseyed Ten- nessee team just couldn ' t gain; those little purple-coated Tiger boys would bang into them ; and how Bill ' Harris did punt ! Bill averaged over sixty yards in that game. And when the big Tennessee punter stuck his foot into the oval for sixty or sixty-five yards, how Red Mc- 186 Caps 1016 Millan would bring it back into tbe Tennessee territory! Right through the crowd be would come, with bis team-mates running beautiful interference. And didn ' t those ends, Duck Harmon and Sarge Poole, race down under those punts! Mule Littlejohn and Rummy Magill tested their speed in getting down with Duck and Sarge. And, toward the last — that beautiful drop-kick of Bill Harris — right between the bars it soared, giving the Tigers three big points. And so the game ended — three for the Tigers, and zero for Tennessee. That was the happiest bunch of humanity, after the last whistle blew, that ever trod a gridiron. Such whooping and shouting one never heard before ! Then back to the hotel, to get the kicks and bruises rubbed out. That night, the loyal Clemson alumni of Knoxville showed their devotion to the team by a royal spread given in honor of the Tigers. After a delightful evening, the boys were free to see a little of civilization. They were early in bed, however, for that game was a whopper ! Early the next morning, the Tigers were rooted out to catch the train for home. The first thing to be done on the train was to print the score with shoe polish on a towel, and swing it across the rear of the observation. But let us take a look at what was hap- pening at school. The glad news reached Clemson while tbe Companies were marching down to supper. Somebody rushed down from the telegraph office yelling the score like a madman. The news was soon in the mess-hall. Dr.. Riggs kindly gave permission for the joy- ous crowd to give vent to their feelings by a bonfire. And such a bonfire the campus had never before seen. Shorty ' s wood, scaffolds from the new Y. M. C. A. building, boxes, bar- rels, and anything that would burn went on the pile to brighten up all of Oconee County. And the next morning Tom Roberson ' s store glared forth with the bright red sign of C. A. C, 3; Tenn., 0. And high on the standpipe, in yellow , shone 3 — o. On the pave- ments, in the barracks, in classrooms, everywhere glared the Tigers ' success. Well might Clemson rejoice, for the Tigers had defeated the S. I. A. A. Champions of 1914. The team arrived at Calhoun to find the whole Corps waiting to show their thanks and appreciation for their victory just won. Mr. ' ' Clink ' s livery bill should have been less, for no horses were used ; the Cadets would not allow the team to be pulled back by horse- power. They hitched themselves to the hack, and the joyful crowd proceeded to the College. So ended one of the most joyful trips of the whole year. 1010 Cap s 187 ®l)t Stasotx Football ■ OOTB ALL opened bright and promising in the Fall of 1915. A major portion I of the Varsity s quad returned, well reinforced by a good following of Senilis. V Being the third season of the Williams reign, much was expected of the well- experienced material on hand. However, a had streak of misfortune, blown along by an ill wind, took the Tigers ' trail, and dogged his trail throughout the season. To begin with, the backheld lacked weight for our concentrated attack. The line was fairly big and strong, but could not always co-ordinate with our backs when placed against a heavier and more powerful team. Nevertheless the past season was most successful. Although we did not win the Southern championship, we put out as scrappy a team as any in the country. Bob Williams, the old master of defense, had the 191 5 team trained to a science. Much credit is reflected on the veteran Coach for the masterly skill with which be conducted the training of the Tigers. The season was quite a success from a financial standpoint. The opening game, with Furman. in Greenville, late in September, found the Tigers showing excellent form for early season, running through the Furmanites at will. The one-sided game resulted in a score of 94 to o for Clemson. To Dopie goes the honor of scoring the first touchdown. Davidson was next met, at Clemson. This game marked the dedication of Riggs Field. A hard-fought battle ensued, resulting in a score of 6 to 6. Davidson showed the marked effect of mountain training, and we did well to hold them to a tie. The Tigers next journeyed over the mountains to Knoxville, where they won undying fame by defeating the University of Tennessee 3 to o. Bill Harris gets credit for the valuable three points. The Tigers could well afford to growl over defeating the 1914 Champions of the S. 1. A. A. An immense throng, swelled by the Corps, gathered at Anderson on October 15, to watch the Tigers and the Auburn Plainsmen battle for supremacy. Clemson put up a beautiful game, playing the ball in the enemy ' s territory the greater part of the time; but the wary Auburn backs got away with two long runs. As a consequence, the game ended in a score of 14 to 0. Spectators say that Auburn was glad when the final whistle blew. They were only lucky enough to batter their way to three first downs. 188 Caps 1916 The heavy University of North Carolina team was met in Greenville. A hard- fought and evenly contested game resulted in a score of 9 to 7 for the Tarheels. University of South Carolina, o; Clemson, o. And thereby hangs a tale. Can Carolina be proud of that score? We are not. The Gamecocks were prepared to take us into camp; but their heavier team was met, and the game ended as a Clemson-Carolina game has never ended before. A long jump was then made to Richmond, where the Virginia Military Academy was attacked. Although the Tigers played rings around the Virginians, the latter were lucky enough to get away with a forward pass which netted them a touchdown. Bill Harris placed a field goal; and when the final whistle blew the score was V. M. I., 7; Clemson, 3. The University of Georgia, at Athens, on Thanksgiving Day: Score — Georgia, 13; Clem- son, o. Picking up a fumbled ball in midfield, Paddock scored for Georgia in the first half. Georgia scored again in the fourth period, after most of our regulars had been with- drawn from the game. Thus fiercely contested, Georgia got her revenge for her disastrous defeat under the Tiger ' s paw in 1Q14. At a dinner held for the team in the Georgian Hotel, at Athens, on Thanksgiving night, everyone expressed satisfaction over the season ' s success. The squad realized how a heavy schedule had placed a handicap on the success of a comparatively light team. There was left, however, a secret morsel of contentment in the bitter cup of defeat. The team had fought all the way through every game; fought with the doggedness and tenacity of the traditional Tigers at bay; fighting for the sacredness of their goal as the beast fights for its very existence. —  B n 4i 1 i-lj JM ■ Cj 4r m 1 ' -.jm 5 afcr aB  V SOPHOMORE 1 ooTUAI.I SO C.

With this efficient coach, who developed one of the most promising teams that ever performed before a Clemson audience, the season was opened at Anderson, with Furman. The old Tigers knew that this was easy prey. The game ended with a score of 2 to 1 in favor of the Tigers. As usual, the Tigers captured the State Championship very easily, and made the com- petitors for the S. I. A. A. sit up and take notice. Out of the twenty-two games played in the State against the State Colleges, the Tigers lost only two. The pitching staff was composed chiefly of Schachte, Thornton, and Richards. With any one of this trio in the box, the Tigers were confident of victory. Frisky Bill Harris was assigned the task of receiving, and we only hope that he will catch in as good style in 1916 as he did last year. His beautiful pegs to second will long be remembered. The trio composed of James at first, Cureton at short, and McMillan at third, had no rivals. Especially McMillan, who stood head and shoulders above any third baseman in the State, and was mentioned as third sacker on the All-Southern Team. Cureton, McMillan, Anderson, Harris, Her, and Schachte made places on the All-State Team. The Tigers had one of the best batting aggregations that has been bunched together in many a day. The average for the whole team was over .250. Captain Cureton led, with a handsome average of .472; Her next, with .370: McMillan, with .369; and Anderson, with .359. Pip Her was the most timely hitter of the bunch, his hits scoring more runs than those of any other man on the team. With Parker back, the fastest third baseman in the South, and McMillan shifted to short; Jesse James at first, Dopie Major at second, and Bill Harris behind the bat, the teams who oppose the Tigers this year will have to do some playing.

The student-body has not shown that interest and enthusiasm in this particular line of Athletics that would cause a large number of new men to come out and try for a place on the team ; consequently, we have been hampered for want of experienced material. However, the past season has marked a great increase in attendance at the games, and in the enthusiasm and support given the team by the Corps. Viewed from the number of games that we won, the past year was far from a success. Jiut. owing to the fact that for two years previous the team had had no experienced coach, our new coach, Mr. Ward, had to start anew, and build up a team largely from inexperienced material. Despite this handicap, he managed to pul out a scrappy team, that played a creditable game against all the better and more-experienced college teams [ jBL Miss McCarey Sponsor C. A.

As this annual goes to press, the Spring track practice has just begun. We have an unusual number of men out for the team this year; and some of them look good. Under the able coaching of our two coaches, we should put out a splendid team. We have ( )dom and Dick on the long distances ; Jackson, Adams, and Jones for dashes and middle distances; and Stribling, Cox, Captain Verner, and Hutchins for weights, jumps, and hurdles.

THE MAIN BUILDING The main building, an old, imposing, barnlike structure, is modeled after a small snap- shot of Westminster Abbey. But I digress: This building is the most useful old shed on the campus. Xo Taps is complete without ten half- tones and fifty zincs of its well-placed brick. In ancient days, the ample steps afforded an ideal spot for the ' public exhibition of the national game of chance ' ; and disappointed candidates for diplomas rode their steeds up those same steps, puncturing the door-faces with bullet-holes. Within the building are the offices. There is the Commandant ' s office, where youths go to relate their family affairs, i. e., the psychologic reasons why they should not be punished for so and so, or such and such. They all receive a square ' amount of sympathy, coupled with a goodly measure of inval- uable advice. Then there is Prexy ' s office, where the curriculum is manufactured and issued along three lines: EDUCATION, ATHLETICS, and SOCIETY. Other portions of this building are in- fested with lecture-rooms, buzzard-roosts, and Mexican Athletic Association rooms (in polite terms, Literary Society halls). There is also a library in this building, which, though it has been in existence for a number of years, still offers a good field for exploration and research. MEMORIAL HALL Memorial Hall was once used as a chapel. It was used also as a place of detention for unwary students, who were so unfortunate as to be caught mutilating the college regula- tions. But all students of the present day are exceedingly wary, and the old hall has fallen into disuse. It has therefore been closed, to both public and student-body, and it is now impossible to secure a description of the interior. In the spring kadcts and fannies use the steps of the hall. Kadcts and fannies, bathed in the moonlight, sit and sit and sit and sit and sit. BARRACKS The barracks are long, red, and four stories high — except the belfry, which is five. That is another story. No building on the campus can boast more famous occupants than these barracks, especially the Bowery, where Poole and Oliver reside, and near where H. R. Trott makes his abode. In recent years, the rooms of recruits have held their popularity : all these rooms have been invaded by Sophomores, who have disturbed the sleeping citizens and have borne themselves like bulls in a china-closet. Besides this, an aggregation of Mexican athletes 206 Caps 1916 still invades barracks, though the athletes are being gradually disseminated by the chasten- ing influence of the recent Y. M. C. A. Building Athletic Association, where Dag Folger is the best-known matador of contemporary politics. The Calhoun mansion and the Trustees ' Building are near-by. V PS J K V i m. v him 0 Kt c K T c l P oMeim: F««J FVo - RcU ' r. TU«c W«eUs - MECHANICAL HALL The mechanical hall is a piece of architecture containing machines, drawing-rooms, and parlors. There are bellows in the latter. This building is noted for its forging atmosphere. Steam and electric lectures also occur in this structure. CHEMISTRY BUILDINGS These buildings are unique in iniquity, and it is sufficient to say that a bill is now in the legislature to change the name of the Chemistry Building to Scandal Building; and, indeed, it is widely known by the latter appellation. Strange to say, a large percentage of the Chemistry students are applicants for the ministry. The postoffice is a small hole in the small fertilizer hall, and as the public knows this has been the scene of many disasters. Indeed, at least five hundred Clemson citizens have dropped dead of gout at this postoffice. DAIRY BUILDING This modern building contains one small churn, two cream separators, Professor Shields, and office-boy McMillan. This building is known for its co-activities and its lectures. 1016 Caps 207 AGGIE HALL Aggie Hall was the first college hall of its kind to be founded north of the equator. It contains the headquarters of the most powerful political organizations at Clemson, notably the y V Association, similar to Tammany Hall. This building is also the lodge of rabbits, stutter birds, dead bugs, and stories approximately ten thousand years old. This building also holds the old Dance Hall, where dancing and other forms of acrobatics are indulged in. This is the old poultry-yard of Clemson, and visitors were absolutely essential to the popularity of the place. ' For, just as the soiree is sad with no suds, so is the old gym without domineckers, clad in calico or silk; for society makes no distinctions today between the janitor ' s employer ' s son and the millionaire ' s brother ' s cook ' s daughter ' . TEXTILE BUILDIXG This building is nothing more than a cotton factory, pure and simple. It is a sad building, on account of the numerous dyeing-rooms. This building is the home of the Woman ' s Suffrage League, and of the Old Ladies ' Sewing Circle. Lectures sometimes happen in this building. rUss Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. building is comparatively new, and was erected for missionary endeavor purposes with the aid of ' John D., old boy. ' This structure is the office of the Clemson loafers, bums, Roy John, gummers, grape-juice, jokes, Professor Birch, sandwiches, stories, and D. F. Folger. ' It is the heart of the college, as well as the lungs, liver, and esophagus. ' It is the headquarters of the .Mexican Athletic Association, also. Here are discussed the price of egg sandwiches, Jim Henderson and the Bath Trust, Commencement Girls, immor- tality of the soul, Wilson ' s policy, Chinese poetry. ' Jojo ' . ham. calico, chickens, goats, The Tiger, and politics. The Y. M. C. A. building has started more men on the road to ruin than have any other two institutions at Clemson; ' gum-chewing, cigarette smoking, and matching for dopes ' are inevitable results of close affiliation with this organization. — D. r 1 - vhP - — .-wi if = L S .fc £ • 2 u-fc JJ 4s 9 1916 Cap0 209 J|earb in tfje pm on Jf efcruarp 1 1 Say, Jack, lady with all the KATIE: My word, but can ' t she dance; pink stuff on ?

She: What makes Runt and Dopie hug the post all the time? Can ' t they dance? Harry: Well you see, it ' s like this, those posts are slightly unstable; so we feel safer when someone is guarding them. The Pink Wonder: I just love the way you dance: you look so much like an Indian I once saw. Have a heart. Lady : you will take all the pep out of me. Well, now, you know I think Indians are awful — . Someone breaks. Excuse me, mum ; I didn ' t mean to step on your toes, apologized Mule, as the music ceased. Ha, ha.

Waldo frowned severely, and said, Mallory is — . Of course. How stupid of me to forget. I didn ' t mean — . The rest was lost in the music. LASS BANQUETS IN every man ' s life there are certain events that he will ever regard with a pleased smile, and we, as students, are no exception to the rule. If there has ever been a time when the Class of Sixteen was literally running over with joy, it was during their celebrated banquets. On Friday evening, June 3, 1015, there occurred what everybody recalls as the famous Junior-Senior banquet. This little feast attracted so much attention that the com- mittee having it in charge found it necessary to muzzle all information concerning ' the affair; but only succeeded in advertising it the more. This, together with the fact that it was being given by Sixteen to Fifteen, drew a record-breaking crowd from the two Classes. Shorty was certainly on the job at both ends of the dough line, succeeding in cleaning us out, and then supplying a most excellent feast. Willie Green, of the Class of Sixteen, acted as toastmaster, and made it very evident that he had dug up an antiquated edition of some joke-book. Brice Waters made the wel- come address, which was answered in a masterly oration by D. E. Swinehart, president of the Class of Fifteen. Dr. Riggs gave from his store of experience some good advice to the Seniors concerning the Future Man, whom he met while driving steers to market. Prof. Dave Henry consumed some time by discoursing on the Alumni ; and Prof. Johnnie Gantt closed with a stirring talk on Athletics. . Everyone agreed that the banquet was a great success. However, some of the Seniors were forced to cut lengthy orations short, they being too full for words — due no doubt to the nearness of Commencement ( ?•). We of Sixteen are now patiently waiting our turn at the Class of Seventeen ; and no doubt we are prepared. On the evening of February 16, 1916, Colonel Cummins, having completed his detail as Commandant, found it necessary to console his majors and captains by treating them to a great feast. From the noise leaking through the chinked windows, the affair was a roaring success; and from the looks of those present it was a swell affair. The Senior officers, desiring to bid Colonel Cummins godspeed in his journey, and Colonel Jones welcome, on the following evening tendered to these gentlemen a royal reception. This one, too, is confidently believed to have been most heartily enjoyed, judg- ing from the distended latitudes and the crop of goose-eggs made in the classroom on the following day. All of our banquets have been characterized by the good fellowship and general joy pre- vailing. They have resulted in binding the Class closer together, and in making us better acquainted with each other and with those of our fatherly instructors and superiors present, for whom we now feel a much closer personal relationship than we could have otherwise. Truly, all these social feasts have been marked successes. 1 ' KI.SI DlvNTS AND SPONSOR ()1 : THE CALHOUN 1916 Caps 213 Calfjotm Utterarp H ocietj MEMBERS Anderson, F. C. Austin, W. L. Barre. M. L.

V. 3AT6 3 intercollegiate debating Reason t5 ■■ ■■■ m HE man who can express his thoughts clearly, con- cisely, and forcefully, has, in any walk of life, a great advantage over the man who cannot. Ability to debate is almost absolutely essential for leadership. In a democracy, great questions are continually being brought before the people for solution. The lawmaking bodies of the State and of the Nation are great forums, where ability to debate counts for much. Newspapers and magazines give a great deal of space to discussion of vital questions. Every young man who looks forward to being a leader in thought and action should take advantage of every opportun- ity to habituate himself to the use of clear, for ceful speech, oral and written. The Literary Societies afford the best opportunity for such training. It is even more important that a student at a technical school should avail himself of the training in the Literary Societies than it is that one at a purely classical or literary one should do so. The truthfulness of this statement was realized by the Clemson students, and early last session steps were taken to arrange for intercollegiate debates. Each Literary Society selected two representatives, to be members, with a committee from the Faculty, of an intercollegiate debating council. J. C. Cannon, of the Class of Fifteen, was elected chairman. This committee arranged for a debate against Davidson, and a triangular debate with Wofford and the College of Char- leston. The Clemson-Davidson debate was held at Winthrop Col- lege, Rock Hill, S. C, on the second Friday night in April. 1010 Cap0 227 The query for debate was, Resolved, that Immigration into the United States Should be Further Restricted by the Imposition of a Literacy Test. Messrs. D. F. Folger and D. E. Swinehart. of the Calhoun and Columbian Societies respectively, were selected at a preliminary contest to represent Clemson, and they spoke on the negative side. While they both had good debates, Davidson won T h e Clemson - Wofford - Charleston debate came off early in April. The subject debated was, Resolved, that the Central Govern- ment of England is more truly democratic than the Federal Government of the United States. Clemson sent Messrs. E. W. Garris and M. A. Smith, of the Colum- bian and Palmetto Societies respectively, to Charleston, to take the negative side against the College of Charleston ; while Messrs. C. Rothell and E. H. Pate, of the Palmetto and Calhoun Societies re- spectively, upheld the affirma- tive side against Wofford, at Clemson. Clemson was de- feated in both instances. Considerable interest was shown in the work last year, and our debaters are looking forward with interest to the triangular debate with Wofford and Char- leston, in April.

It is fast becoming the social center of the entire com- munity ; and its influence for the betterment of the moral and religious as well as the social life is being strongly felt. It is becoming the meeting-place of cadets and faculty, where all may relax, and forget the official relations existing between students and faculty. The building contains an excellent swimming pool, a cafe with private dining- room, a soda fountain and confectionery stand, billiard tables, bowling alleys, game-room, reading-room, lounging-rooms for men and ladies, an auditorium with a picture show and where the Sunday evening programs of the Association and other public meetings are held ; and there are rooms for the Cabinet and Bible Study leaders, and a number of living-rooms for men. The building was made possible by the generous donation of fifty thousand dollars by Mr. Rocke- feller, and the subscriptions of trustees, faculty, alumni, ex-cadets, cadets, and friends, amounting to twenty-five thousand dollars. 1916 €ap0 231 1 i, , .Wi, .

The average enrollment is about one hundred cadets, with several members of the Faculty as teachers. The school is managed entirely by the students, from the music to the superintendency, with the exception of the instruction. It is peculiar in its nature, since all Protestant denominations meet together in the study each Sunday. o: tf ]□ 1916 Caps 233 JBrablep g tmbap=g cj)ool Class Prof. M. E. Bradley Leader Anderson, F.

But, let the future be as it will, we are in the Safety First class, and if you have been treated with any degree of con- sideration, we want to apologize for being polite.

Popular? should say so. His intimate friends say that he will be captain of next year ' s football team. DOPIE hasn ' t told the public so, because he never likes to talk about himself, without a great deal of coaxing. Yes, he rs a very modest fellow, am ' a real nice boy, too, because {this is confi dential) they say he parts his hair every morn ing, and eats with a knife and fork. They say FOLGER is a nice boy, too. He may be, or he may not lie. But one thing is certain, he is the most successful man that ever operated financial affairs. Tt is a blooming shame, though, that a man ' s career should be spoiled by the invention of cash registers, by irresponsible men who are continually vestigating a business manager ' s ledgers. Sure, GEORGE O ' DELL is the janitor ol the Chemistry Building. He is a helluvaguy too; because he ' s engaged to be married, ami on a ten-dollar-per job. He ' s real popular, nevertheless, and holds high political offices in the Janitors ' League, in the Red Undershirt Club, and in the Chemistry Society. MULE is a well-known character also, though his character has not, as yet, been in- vestigated, because he is an influential member of the Brown ' s Mule Club. Oh, yes, he ' s the actor for you. He can shame a profession; clown, and ' can make an old plantation clog- dancer look — oh. just awful. HAROLD. Yes, isn ' t that a perfectly glorious name - And Mr. McConnell ' s such a delightful man. Sh-sh-h, he ' s a scientist ' What if lie does keep insects in his bed? That ' s nothing; he has to experiment with them, as do all other entomologists. HAROLD has roomed with MULE so long that he doesn ' t mind small bugs. Say, don ' t you tell this ; HAROLD is polite to the ladies, even if he is a very deep-thinking man.

My regrets are that you did not lynch the villain before he even thought of saying that men skinned on my Chemistry examina- tion. Now, gentlemen, with this gossiper disposed of, we can get down to the regular work! Please take these notes: At the present time, at this college there are eighty-seven professors. I am the best of the lot. (Great applause from students.) Very well. Now there are in this country fifty-one Agricultural Colleges, including Clemson. Am I correct? (Chorus of Yes! yes!) Very well. Since Clemson is the greatest of all these Agricultural Colleges, and since 1 am the- best professor at Clemson, I am, there- fore, the best professor in the United States. Am I correct? (Another chorus of Yes! yes!) You are very kind, gentlemen. I accept with modesty this undeserved tribute of praise you have so frankly given me. But, that we may continue — since this is true, men do not find it necessary to skin on my examinations. Is this correct? (Loudest chorus of Yes! yes! Student raises a pistol, takes careful aim, and throws it out of the open window.) Very well ; let us continue further.

The first item that attracted my attention was this: Serious DEFECT 01 Memory — Major Agnew actually failed to visit the Commandant ' s office one day during his college career. Closely following this was an equally important NOTICE — This is to officially announce that Sergeant-Major A. B. Car- wile has indefinitely dispensed with the use of hair-curlers. Tin ReuGious Column next greeted my eyes, to this effect: John Garris, a V. M. C. A. leader at college, is now president of Professor Daniels ' Sunday-School Class. At a recent meeting of the Prohibition League, Ed Kyzer was unanimously elected President. Mr. Kyzer, being a sober, industrious gentleman, is exceptionally well qualified for the position. Then 1 glanced at the Socials, and this was the result: Egypt Heiss is now posing as the ' after using ' effect of Nyal ' s face cream. The same company is using C. S. Anderson as an illustration of the ' before using ' condition. Also, Great triumph of modern genius — livestock man succeeds in growing an x whose hide is large enough without pin inn to make one shoe for Foots Haddon. With a sigh of relief 1 turned to the Obituaries, written by the great impersonator Buss McKeown. Louie Boggs, while paying strict attention in classroom, with both eyes shut, noted the astounding fact that Jake Kendricks had ceased to pack the pavement to the postoffice looking for that letter from the girl who has already married the ether guy. Then this DirEI ' ul Prediction — Martin Luther Barre will, in all probability, be a bachelor at the age of thirty — as he never was in love. Mr. lack Haigler has fallen in love with a girl at Anderson (upon investigation it proved to be her poodle dog, and nut the girl).

Sheppard, Clemson ' s military man, is visiting friends in the suburbs of Greenville. The Political Column contained only this: On last holiday, S. Burch positively refused to spend the day at Seneca in conversation with the Prairie Dogs. Under the head of Great Foundations, I discovered the following: Dag Folger, erst- while President of the Y.

In the Clippings Department, 1 read an extract from the Cops ' Gazette, a northern magazine which the Titjcv staff has almost adopted. The clipping set forth the fact that Jojo, Jr., had been appointed poet laureate of Mexico, and that complications had arisen, since Mr. John Kipling Garris charged that Jo had plagiarized from him, and published, the poem which had won the high position.

COLUMBIA, October 12. — The city is in mourning over the fact that the strained financial conditions at the front make it impossible for the army corps to take their usual furlough in this city. However, the corps is well represented by the invincible Tigers and all enlisted men too seriously wounded to be of service against the heavy onslaughts of the German troops. They have orders to enlist as many red-cross nurses as possible from the female colleges, and to make a raid on the Gamecocks to make broth for the disabled valiants. BRICK HOUSE, January 11. — We recently learned that the enemy had withdrawn his veteran troops from the reveille front. Accordingly we planned and executed a surprise attack on Hall 14 which resulted very favorably to us. When we arrived, only recruits and aspiring military geniuses were in line, even most of the officers being absent. A close in- spection revealed the fact that the absentees were in their sleeping quarters. For this indiscretion, great punishment was inflicted by us, the total extent of damage being revealed by the sick report from this post and at the weekly parade around the small parade ground. CLEMSON COLLEGE, January 27 (Special, via guard room).— On account of the heartfelt sympathy expressed by President Tyler, of Windsor, for certain bomb throwers in the small domain known as the mess hall, he has been deposed, and banished into exile for the period of one year. For close association with President Tyler, the valiant Pickens (Lieutenant of twenty hours) is reduced to the servile grade of the easy life. CLEMSON COLLEGE, March 1. — Ambassadors from the principalities of Westinghouse and General Electric were so shocked by the heavy cur- rents that flowed from the high-tension lightning arresters, that it was necessary for them to reconsider their ultimatum. ANDERSON, April 25. — For the entertainment of the valiant Coeur de Lion ' s troops after an extended engagement with the theories of the Clem- son von Hindenburg, an additional troop is detailed for the Palmetto regi- ment. CLEMSON COLLEGE, February 17.— By order of the War Department, the Kaiser, Colonel Josiah, has deserted his troops for a more exciting com- mand on the border. The Tiger speaks of his touching departure, and the sadness with which he leaves the corps. It also wishes much success to Colonel Casey, who has been detailed to command His Majesty ' s regiment. CLEMSON COLLEGE, March 19 — Bombs dropped from German aeroplanes ignited the vast forests surrounding the army post, and it was only after hours of heroic fighting that the fire brigade succeeded in bringing it under control. KEZFf8S A CLEMSON POLITICAL SCANDAL (Reprinted from The Cops ' Gazette) PETER M ' CALL THE HERO OF PROHIBITION ELECTION Stribling and Wallace, the Bosses, are Trapped, and Will be Held on Charge of Perfume Scandal. (By Keyhole Association) CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. C, Novem- ber 28. — The wildest political scramble and bitterest fight in the history of Clemson, resulted tonight in the over- whelming election of Peter L. McCall, textile student, as president of the Clemson Prohibition Club. Never since the famous Ulysses Xerxes Cullum was railroaded into the presidency of the present Freshman Class has such a scandalous exhibition of submerged poli- tical subterfuge and ' ' boss-instigated chicanery been witnessed at this insti- tution. The boldest imaginable grafting schemes played havoc with the honest vote, and the gang was on a rampage. As a result, Stribling and Wallace, the bosses (and believed to be the hench- men of McCall), are being held in the Annex without bail. They will be given a speedy trial before the new student Discipline Committee, behind closed doors. The Bottrymen and the Bowery Bunch, two factions of total abstainers, have combined, despite their religious beliefs, and made up a raving mob which will probably attempt to lynch Stribling and Wallace tonight. The ultimate aim of this furious body is the downfall of McCall and his party, and the elevation of their leader, Carwile, to a position of domineering superiority and unlimited power in dry politics. Violent accusations have been made by both sides, and the situation is hourly becoming more entangled. Carwile charges McCall with using his (Mc- Call ' s) presence and influence in the vicinity of Old Stone Church to help swing the election. McCall, in turn, charges G. J. Sheppard with carrying the Freshmen to Old Stone Church, and Carwile with furnishing the money. Carwile further charges McCall with going to Old Stone Church on Sunday afternoon, ostensibly to conduct a Sun- day School, when in reality he went for the vile purpose of arranging for his later night trips in the interests of his election, which he meant to accomplish mainly in the moonshine. Again McCall comes back at Carwile with the statement that Carwile used underhand methods and pernicious practices in trapping and falsely accus- ing Stribling and Wallace. Both contingents are red hot, and cir- culating numerous reports concerning the diabolical situation and proceed- ings. The citizens of the community are expecting the destruction of prop- erty and serious loss of life. Nothing definite can be conjectured, as to the outcome, till morning. THE COUNTRY IS SAVED (Later insert, June, 1916) A long pending issue is settled, bring- ing relief to the public mind. H. R. Trott graduates. A PROPHESIED EVENT That JoJo Morrison will retain his position as poet-laureate of the Republic of Mexico is an undisputed fact. Clem- son will retain her high place among the men of letters, although some have thought that the literature of the Clem- sonians was on the decline. Morrison will always be a star in the Mexican poetical sky, and he cannot but retain the favor of Carranza so long as he pro- duces poetry that appeals to a Mexican as do the following verses: TURNIPS A LA JAWBONE W. A. M., Toreador, Mexico ' Twas only a half-rotted jawbone, The remains of a long buried beast, Which found in the turnips at dinner Took away all the joy of the feast; For those who had eaten were sickened. While those who had not were afraid, Lest they pluck from the dishes around them A remnant of something long dead. We wondered just what was the reason They put this ingredient in, Since it did not add to the flavor Nor yet was it fit food for men; It could not be called ornamental, But some fellow, after awhile, Said it must be the latest from Paris — So of course it was put in for style. Then a general order was issued ( ' Twas number ten billion and two), Saying, See the jawbone in the turnips, ' Twas with it the great Samson slew All the foes which dared to beset him; We ' re trying it out upon you In hopes that it still may be fatal — You must gnaw on the bone when you ' re through. SUDDEN FLUCTUATION OF PRICES IN ORANGEBURG EGG MARKET- ECONOMISTS PUZZLED. On February 21, 1916, much specula- tion sprang up in the Orangeburg egg market. All buyers specified rotten eggs, if possible. Housewives in the near vicinity robbed their setting hens, and rushed to the market with eggs that were in the prime of hatching. Experts accounted for the unusual demand for over-ripe eggs by calling attention to the booked performance of the Clemson Glee Club. THE EXTREME REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROHIBITION LEAGUE At a recent meeting of the league, at Clemson, it was found that the enroll- ment was too small. On discussing the THE TIGER question, it was pointed out by some that the requirements for membership were too rigid. One man stated that he would join but for the fact that he could not meet the requirement of drinking two quarts wi thout stopping. In conse- quence of these remarks, the capacity test was reduced from two quarts to one quart. USED FOR VANTAGE PERSONAL It has been noted of late that certain rivals have been abusing the columns of The Tiger, by using them against the interests of each other. O. S. Anderson has been seriously accused of using this paper to pursue his love cases. Ander- son does not deny this charge, but states that some of his rivals have, in the same paper, been trying to undermine some of his love affairs. When The Tiger be- comes an organ of love, it is indeed time for — — some of our prospec- tive bachelors to take a hand. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT ERE THEYvE GONE AND IVEM IE AN EXTRA f JUST TOR.

For they wake the boys so early they don ' t have much time to dress, And they do their exercises before they think of rest. Not because they really want to, but the Colonel thinks it best- So they do their exercises every morning. Td like to see the boys at drill, then said this lovely maid. ' We ' ll go at once and take it in, her buoyant hostess said. ' Why do they grunt so loud at times? next asked this lovely maid. ' Those are the things the boys must do, her buoyant hostess said. ' These are swinging on a pivot, ' Company Right ' was the command, Those are in extended order, learning how to make a stand. That our nation still may triumph though an enemy ' s at hand- So thev do a little drilling every morning. ' What do they give them all to eat? then asked the lovely maid. ' Just bread and •bull ' — that ' s steak or pork, her knowing hostess said. ' How do they ever chew such stuff? then asked the lovely maid. •They swallow it in lumps, my dear, her knowing hostess said. ' For their teeth would soon be useless if they tried to chew this stuff. All they do is till their stomachs; yes, of course, it ' s just a bluff. But they buy eggs. ham. or oysters till their systems cry ' Enough ' If they just have got their money in the morning. 298 Caps 1916 ' Where are those boys all walking to? next asked this visiting maid. ' They aren ' t walking anywhere, her lovely hostess said, ' Then why do they creep around that Square? next asked this visiting maid. ' Oh, that ' s a form of punishment, her lovely hostess said. ' For when they get reported, which the best of them must he, The privates take their guns and walk, as you can plainly see, And Duckett, when he ' s angry, runs them ' round and ' round one tree — That ' s when he gets up with a headache in the morning. ' What is that bugle blowing for? then asked this lovely maid. ' It ' s ' Taps, ' that sends the boys to bed, her weary hostess said. Then let us also go to sleep, half yawned the lovely maid. ' 1 haven ' t very far to go, her weary hostess said. ' And unless I am mistaken in the meaning of that yawn, You will not again awaken at the breaking of the dawn, But you ' ll lie in bed a-sleeping, with the covers tightly drawn, When they have that old formation in the morning.

There they find a motley collection of Seniors, all clamoring for Chero ' s and Lorna Doones. Forcing his way through the surging mob, D opens up. His trusty assistant, Mullet, is in the crowd; so, with Mullet ' s aid, D attempts to feed the starving multitude. This is not such an easy undertaking. The mob sweeps in. Among the crowd are, Virge Howell, Hawkshaw Suggs, Waldo Mallory, John Wannamaker, Dopie Major, Mouse Hamlin, Jake Wise, Luke Verner, Chief Stribling, and Zu Zu Oliver. Their wants are multitudinous, and one can hear nothing above the cries of, Shoot a couple of Chero ' s, ' D ' — ; Two dime mixtures — ; One jit peanut butter, and a jit ' s worth of cheese crackers — ; One of ' square ' . Mullet shouts, Keep your hand out of that cracker-box, Jake Wise. And now let us take a look around us. The first thing that we see is Mule Littlejohn, who has just come in, slipping a few extra crackers into his overcoat pocket. The floor is covered with empty bottles and paper bags. Behind the counter, Mullet and D are struggling to deal out the crackers and Chero ' s. Over in one corner, by the radiator, Runt and Willie Green are trying, just for fun( ?), to see bow many bottles of Chero- Cola will fit into their bathrobe pockets. The crowd gets ready to leave, as Taps draws near, as they have eaten everything eatable and drunk everything drinkable in the Y. M. Jake Wise departs to discuss the subject of antique furniture. Strib goes along with him— not to discuss antique furniture, but to write to Newberry. Luke Verner goes along, too, as he has to order some material from a certain establishment in Richmond. John Wannamaker, Hawkshaw, and Waldo depart for the green fields. Mule Littlejohn leaves to eat his pies, which his confederate in the kitchen has given him. Zu-Zu Oliver departs for the Bowery, to design a few electric motors, generators, and a few other little things before Taps sounds. Finally, they all drift out, leaving D and Mullet to straighten up for the next night. c Jfflp Eucfe ;r thus since childhood days, Jest hopes have gone to smash ; illation never pays, to toil for all my cash. me this life of mine, agent ' s sake ; about half the time, ,vould be sure to break.

Still let that come when it will come, We do not need it here, We ' d sooner take that fatal step If we didn ' t feel this fear. Cfjicfeens J m HE name Chicken is of rather obscure origin, thought by some to J have originated among the habitues of the vaudeville houses of the F East Side, New York ; while others believe it began its career upon the lips of an unknown race-track gambler of Louisville, 1 . Be that as it may. the name clings persistently to a certain very beautiful animal, found principally in the torrid, temperate, and frigid zones. The chicken was first discovered by Adam, in the garden of Eden, about the year one, as near as we can place the date. Of course the garden of Eden has long since disappeared, and it is impossible to say exactly where it was. Most Americans claim that it was about twenty minutes from the present site of Hoboken Ferry. Adam called the newly discovered animal Eve, which name has been corrupted countless numbers of times until we finally have Chicken. Certain it is that Solomon ' s Apple of mine eye was no other than the chicken of today. And Bobby Burns ' Bonny Lassies? Truly, they were chickens, too. A red chicken, of decided fighting proclivities, was discovered in America by Columbus, in 140-- Prior to that time only the black, brown, yellow, and white were known. Among other animals brought over by our illustrious forefathers to the shores of America were a few white chickens, and these formed the nucleus for the dominating type o f America. However, owing to modern facilities for trans- portation, all five types are now known and seen the world over. The chicken belongs to the mammalian family, the most highly developed family of animals, and to the genus homo. So it may be seen that, though they belong to the same family as the goat, sheep, cow, and horse, they also belong to the same genus as man. This of course places them rather well along in the scale of evolution. The modern chicken should be between five feet five inches and five feet nine doctok rabbit may with his coachman go on a inches in height, and should chicken hunt weigh between one hundred and five and one hundred and thirty-five pounds at the age of eighteen years ; may be either blond or brunette ( even the various intermediate shades are not barred, provided they meet certain other requirements ). The cheeks and ears should be slightly pink and. some of the leading authorities claim, so should the toes. However, owing to the innovation of shoes during , must not carry more than thirteen number tends to give an inharmon- - f -TV-V ' - — M the last few centuries, this latter point is extremely difficult to determine. As chickens are always selected for their appearance, as a chief point, the color of plumage is of extreme importance. They and seven-tenths colors at once, as a greate ious effect. Furthermore, these colors are limited strictly to the seven colors of the spectrum, with their inter- mediate shades and mixtures. We may say in parentheses that the tendency of the past few years has been toward somewhat lighter feathering than was formerly the ac- cepted standard, due largely to the fact that chickens in private life instinctively try to conform to the very fetch- ing appearance of show- birds. Chickens show re- markable resemblance to a number of other plants and animals. For instance, certain individuals have been likened unto their jewels, and in a few rare instances have been called My most precious crown-jewel. However, we believe this exclamation to have been uttered under the stress of strong emotion, and therefore subject to certain modi negations in saner moments. Numbers of writers have rung in the doe, the fawn, the dove, the lark, and other animals for effective comparisons. To fling on at the psychological moment such a sentence as, In her eyes was the look of the trembling doe as the huntsman stoops to plunge the cruel knife into her already bleeding heart, is certainly very touching. The chicken seems to have no particular climate, no soil, no country, but seems to thrive equally well in all parts of the world. The chief enemies of chickens are, rouge, paint, dyes, mosquitoes, mice, and mothers-in-law. The first three can be easily eradicated by making their manu- facture a capital crime. As to the fourth, we refer you to Dr. J. C. Hamlin ' s The Skeeter. Mice and mothers-in-law must be dealt with as occasion arises. So God bless all chickens to our good, and us to their service. A number of eminent men, among whom may be included Drs. Hamlin, Sicl dall, and Trott, three of the most prominent research workers of the day, have spent the last four years in the study of the history, characteristics, and habits of these interesting birds, and have accumulated an enormous amount of valuable information, which we feel will be of interest to the readers of this publication. If you wish to pursue the subject further, and in more detail, we refer vou to Dr. ' Siddall ' s The Evolution of the Chicken, Dr. Trott ' s The Bird of ' Para- dise, and his novel, Some Bird. .

Viewed merely as a matter of business, even if be has to borrow the money at interest, he will find that bis increased earning capacity will, per- haps even the first year after graduation, be sufficient to repay the loan. It is a poor business policy to wait to earn the money necessary to pay for an education, with an earning capacity only one-half or one-third that of an educated man. Every year of un- trained, uneducated labor represents a direct financial loss. Every boy of ability and am- bition, whose parents are unable to pay for his education, should get some friend to en- dorse bis note at the bank, and begin prepara- tion that will make for greater earning ca- pacity and a fuller life. There is no time to lose. The world is looking for 1,000-horse- power men, and is willing to pay for them. There is already a surplus of the one-horse- power variety. A College education is no longer a luxury of the rich, but more a necessity of the poor boy whose parents can give him little or nothing to start on. In earning capacity, a College education represents at the outset a capital of from $15,000 to $30,000, depending u| the energy, character, and personality of the possessor; and the capital increases with every year of its efficient use. There never was a time in the history of the world when expert knowledge was so much in demand, so indispensable to in- dividual success, and so highly compen- sated. Clemson College brings within the reach of every boy in South Carolina the benefits and possibilities of a technical education. He is here offered an opportunity to enjoy some of the good things of life. The way is pro- vided whereby, if he have the ambition and capacity for knowledge, he need not continue in ignorance. Here, at a cost lower than at any similar institution, can a young man ob- tain an education second to none. Religious Influences The College contributes to the salary of four resident ministers, who conduct divine services and do pastoral work among the cadets in barracks. There is a flourishing Sunday School and Y. M. C. A., with two salaried V. M. C. A. Secretaries. A $75,000 Y. M. C. A. building, completed January, 19 16. Scholarships and Examinations The College maintains 168 four-year scholarships in the Agricultural and Textile Courses, and 511 in the One- Year Agricul- tural Course (October 10 to June 8). Each scholarship is worth one hundred dollars and free tuition. Scholarship and entrance examinations are held at the county courthouse, at 9 a. m., July 14. Write for full information in regard to the scholarships open to your county next session, and the laws governing their award. It is worth your while to try for one of these scholarships. Those who are not seeking to enter on scholarships, are advised to stand examina- tions on July 14, rather than wait until they come to College in the fall. Credit will be given for any examinations passed at the county seat. Cost The cost of any of the thirteen regular four-year courses, or the Two-Year Textile Course, is $141.90 per session. This amount covers uniforms, board, room, heat, light, water, laundry, and all fees, except tuition. Tuition is $40.00 additional, to those who are able to pay. The cost of the One-Year Agricultural Course is $117.95. This amount covers the same items as are listed above. The cost of the Four-Weeks ' Course for Farmers, and the Four-Weeks ' Course in Cotton Grading, is $19.00. This amount covers board, heat, light, and water. No uniforms are required. FOR CATALOG.
