HE College of Emporia may be said to have had its origin not later than the early years of 1869 or '70, at the time when the Rev. R. M. Overstreet came to the Emporia settlement to take charge of the handful of Presby- terians wl.o had, a little previously, effected a church organization. Mr. Overstreet came imbued with the idea of a Synodical College where worthy young men and women who, otherwise, would go without an education, might have the opportunity offered by a good school. How- ever, there was already located at Highland a college which was supported by the Synods surrounding, but Emporia offered natural inducements as to location, facility of access, etc., and above all, a thoroughly unified and self-sacrificing community of men and women who earnestly set to work to accomplish their desires. A committee of representative Emporia citizens, including, for example, Dr. J. J. Wright, a prominent member of the Methodist church, waited upon the Synod and pressed the claims of Emporia as a location for the proposed college. Up to 1877, however, no general interest had been manifest throughout the state for a Synodical College, but at about this time attention began to be drawn to the fact that immigration was moving westward and away from Highland, and that Highland as a Synodical school was alien to the Presbyterians of Kansas. At a meeting in Fort Scott in 1877 a group of men, among whom were Dr. McCabe, Dr. Bishop and Rev. Overstreet, for- mulated resolutions to be presented to the next Synod urging them to act at once on the vital question of a college. Accordingly Synod met, discussed the resolutions half-heartedly and, out of deference, appointed a man from each Presbytery of the State to take up the matter. Suddenly, however, renewed interest throughout the west in Christian education was aroused, and at just about this time the General Assembly created the College Board, for the establishing and maintaining colleges and institutions of its own denomination. Then the citizens of Emporia came forward with the offer of 835,000 and a site of thirty-eight acres of ground, provided that Synod would pledge itself to raise an endowment of sso,ooo at the earliest possible date, and continue in its efforts fully to endow the College. The first step was the thorough canvass of Emporia and its vicinity, where S40,000 was raised. Then the entire state was undertaken and the responses for material and funds were liberal so far as the friends of the plan had means. But this was thirty years ago, when times were far from prosperous. It was impossible to raise the necessary amount by popular sub- scription and the plan was adopted to take endowment notes bearing interest, and before long Synod had raised the first 825,000 pledged. The building now known as Stuart Hall was rapidly underway and promised an early completion. But unfortunately debts began to pile up and it was necessary to bond the entire property for S25,000 in order to complete the con- struction. The sale of the bonds was slow and failure seemed inevitable, when two sturdy friends were discovered, the presidents of two of the leading banks in the town, H. C. Cross and Major Calvin Hood. At one time or another each of these men were treasurer of the College Board of Trustees, and more than once weathered the College by their timely financial assistance. Disaster in crops and business intervening from year to year, protracted the burdens of the school, and it has been a constant struggle to provide the means to build up and maintain the existence of the institution. Some of the best men in the state have served on the board of trustees and have given counsel that was invaluable in steering the College through the breakers. A number of the early friends of the College were James E. Platter, Dr. Levi Sternberg is another, Dr. F. S. McCabe, Dr. William Bishop, Judge Horton, John B. Anderson, N. C. McFarland, Senator P. B. Plumb, William Austin, and Dr. J. D. Hewitt. Of the above list perhaps the name of John B. Anderson is most familiar to College students and friends. At one time Mr. Anderson gave his notes to the College for 81,500 and later paid them with interest. And again, when some of his friends suggested celebrating the 50th anni- versary of the marriage of himself and his estimable wife, he consented upon condition that the occasion be turned into the founding of a library. He gave his own private collection of books as a foundation and today we have the structure bearing the honorable name, Anderson Memorial Library. 9 Looking Toward the Future. .,., . HE past year has been one of achievement in the history of the College of Emporia. During that time the lower east hallway in Stuart Hall, to- gether with the new biological laboratory museum and recitation room, have been completed. The faculty has been strengthened by the services of Professor Nurse and Mrs. Eleanor Christian, both of whom have become gee 39, popular and influential in the life of the school. During the past year the endowment of the college has been increased to fifty thousand dollars and bio Cerfs larger gifts than ever before have come to the school for the current expense fund from the Presbyterian churches and friends in Kansas. It has not yet been possible to sell the Lewis Academy building in Wichita. This building is valued at fifty thousand dollars. But as soon as it can be sold, part of the money will be put into the endowment fund, and about thirty thousand dollars used to erect a new Academy building upon the campus at Emporia. We believe that the college has today an unusually strong faculty and stands for an unusually high grade of work from the standpoint of scholarship. We believe that the social and moral atmosphere of the school, and the ideals of the students, make this both an attract- ive and helpful school, a place where young men and women are fitted for noble and high minded service to the age in which we live. As we look forward to the future, we wish that we could describe the College of Emporia as the institution is destined to appear at commencement day in 1920. We believe that when some of the members of the class of 1910 reassemble upon commencement day ten years hence, they will find Twelfth Avenue a broad and well paved boulevard leading to the gates of the college. On either side of the avenue will stand the homes of the members of the faculty. As they come to the college gateway they will see the beautiful green campus, as smooth as a well kept lawn, surrounded by the stately trees, beneath whose shade they used to walk. At the center of the campus will stand historic old Stuart Hall, endeared by the strivings of earlier years. As they look about the crescent driveway and the cement walks that reach to every part of the campus, they will see to the westward of Stuart Hall a handsome science building, and just beyond it a pond and a garden of wild flowers belonging to the depart- ment of Biology. To the eastward of the library building they will see the fine building of Lewis Academy. At the southeast corner of the campus they will see the beautiful and spacious Girls' Dormitory, the fund for whose erection was started during the year 1909. At the southwest corner of the campus they will see a handsome Boys' Dormitory. Then they will hasten through the grounds to the north of Stuart Hall where a splendid gymnasium will stand by the side of the well kept athletic field. They will mount into the crowded grand- stand and watch a spirited game between the Seniors and Faculty. They will gather after the commencement address in the new gymnasium, for the alumni banquet, and they will listen while the graduates of 1920 tell them that the ideals and standards of the college in scholar- ship, social life and spiritual influence have not been lowered. The graduates of other years will come from many parts of the world to tell of the service which they have been rendering to humanity in many walks of life, and they will acknowledge their indebtedness to the College of Emporia, as the place where visions of service together with ideals of noble charac- ter were held before them. They will join together in singing the old college songs and pledging renewed fidelity to this college, with whose fortunes and ideals their lives have been so closely intertwined A ' ns.

Papers lay scattered about on the table, while tennis Racquets and balls were proclaiming the sport of the day's recreation. Pleasure and fun had run high thru many long weeks of the springtime. Now was at hand the oft-mentioned, the reckoning day of the Tenners. Therefore to ward off effects of a possible infamous failure Measures preventing such end were pursued by the system of cramming. Hours all unnoticed pass by while the Senior remains at his lessons. Slowly his head bends more low as he studies the wisdom of Hegel, Herbart and Kant and a dozen or more of the other old thinkers. Slowly this throng of philosophers mingled and melted together, While in the seething concoction the student distinguished his classmates. Changed were they much from the usual dignified conduct of Seniors. These were the frisky and mischievous creatures who students in nought six Nicknamed the verdant and frolicsome Freshmen. Yes, truly much pleasure Fell to the lot of this class on the day when its flag proudly floated, Topping a telegraph pole well encircled with tar for marauders. Victory camped with the Freshmen, but later the Sophies took vengeance, Snatching away the proud flag at a triumphing party at Perkins'. School days were far from fatiguing while mischief relaxed tender minds. Delicate wlriffs of that camphor disturbed once again the exquisite Calm of the ether. Again coats were exchanged to produce combinations Provoking the laughter. Again thru the lectures of jonsie rang Ergo And tertiarily. Then a delightful excursion to homestead of Hughes And their return which the shimmering moonlight enchanted, bewitched. Interests of various sorts claim the attention. The first oratorical Contest for Freshmen was held, and Tom was the eminent winner. Parties and picnics at Flat Rocks cemented the fast growing friendships. Spring was at hand very soon, and with it the banquet at Rice's, Vainly malignant Sophomores were on deck to abscond with the eatins. Needless to mention the sad disappearance of Caesar's far famed bridge Also the bulletin board and the phonograph placed in the chapel. 16 Needless to mention the beaker from lab that once strayed o'er the campus Returning again to its place but now over-brimming with nectar. Summer vacation arrived and returned in the autumn these students Chiefly notorious for heads much expanded. Now boast they of actions Pertaining to past and to future. In flag scrap the Freshmen were winners Since they greatly outnumbered the Sophomores, tho strict regulation Decreed that the pole a mere sapling should be. Next at Altman's the Tenners Had such a jolly old party that robbers of wraps got away with Scarcely a scratch for their daring. Before all the guests had departed Raindrops were hurrying down in ever increasing profusion. Several social events in the course of that memorable winter Served to bind firmly some cases which were previously experimental. Gladys no longer now wavers 'twixt three for just one is sufficient. Mary yells: Ray-ray-ray tho yet rather faintly, and Helen Admires Art in his various phases. To Freshman charmer Wanders Ham Berger. At homes of Perkins and Rice were more banquets Which for adroit wit and merriment wholesome were unsurpassed. Later, misfortune encompassed our track athletics, for Braden, Running a thirty-yard sprint in the halls as a trial of fleetness, Fractured his arm 'gainst the wall and spent weeks in recovery. Sorrows, Joys, and defeats in the cup of the Sophomores frequently mingled. Wiser they entered their junior year and the problems it offered Encountered. Another recruit to our numbers was Bessie, whom Parkville Brought to a high plane of wisdom in book learning, cooking, and love. This year again did they go in a hayrack to homestead of Hughes. There all the feminine classmen showed skill in the frying of chickens, Making of coffee and other concoctions alluring to mortals. Gathering one evening at Elsie's they roasted marshmallows on sticks held Over a bonfire. The first college annual by unstinted effort They in this season produced. Understandings 'twixt youths and the maidens Came to mean more. Now even invulnerable Cae1ebs with golden Arrow was smitten. The juniors had not yet o'ercome their delight in Pranks of their childhood, for entering chapel one day clad in ghastly Caps and gowns imitated they digniied Seniors. The banquet Occurred in the spring which the Juniors give to the Seniors. At length Degrees were conferred on Nought Niners and with them we lost Ac and Van whose Brilliant achievements permitted to graduate. Autumn the Tenners Showed forth in role of the topmost of students. No longer now boast they Unlimited learning to compass. No longer the narrow horizon Restrains their far looking vision. Yet mirth is by no means forgotten. Parties and dinners and spreads friendships fetters united yet closer. Elsie the class entertained for choosing our paraphernalia. Hearts were unveiled for inspection at Edna's and much information Revealed. Hearts in profusion were seen at Gladys' exquisite Dinner in honor of Viv who was going to Denver. The class play Pro and con they discussed with the watchword: Classic or modern- That is the question. At length the production of Strongheart was favored the Vote of the many. Rehearsals came thick and fast as the spring brought Nearer approach to the climax of college career. As the days flew After each other in ever more hastening succession the Seniors Reached much more consummate heights than as Freshmen they dreamed of. Lessons Were not neglected tho many attractions were offered. The junior- Senior banquet a splendid success proved to be with its visions, Its dreams of fair maidens, its toasts apt and witty, its viands so perfect. Then the commencement day came, and degrees were just being granted when Say! It's morning, old man! Been asleep here all night? Well, wake up! --L. F. B. 17 INTERIOR VIEW OF CHAPEL. Junior Class History. Now it came to pass, in the reign of King Hank, that there came into his realm, even unto the great college on the hill, a band of pilgrims. And lol they were very young and fair, and the sign of verdancy was upon them withal, and they knew not what to do. For this reason they were called Freshites, which, being interpreted, means green And they were delivered into the hands of the Sophites, a very fierce people which infested the territory next them, and for several weeks there was sore oppression. And Fear walked in the way, and the afflictions of the oppressed were as grasshoppers for multitude and as the sands of the seashore innumerable, and they hid themselves in the caves of the fields and even behind the noble pines on the blue-grass campus, and when recitation time came, lol they were not prepared. Now there was a tree of knowledge planted in that place, and the Freshites ate thereof, and were enlightened and ceased to be sore afraid. And they said, one to another: Behold, why wait we here, fearing the haughty Sophs? Are not we as strong as they? Let us gird up our loins and assail them in fight, yea, even assail them in a flag-scrap. And there rose up a judge unto the Freshites, and behold, they planted a flag, and the Sophs took it not. Then had the Sophs great respect for their conquerors, and oppressed them no more, and the land had rest for thirty weeks. And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of King Hank, that the territory of the Sophs having been vacated, the Freshites took possession thereof. And they said, one to another: Behold! have we yet upon us the signs of verdancy? Are we not cultured and enlightened in the ways of the land? Have we not good table manners, and is not our church attendance all that Brower can desire? Lo! we will abandon the name Freshite and come into possession of our lawful inheritance. And from that day forth for some time they were known as Sophs. But they departed from the ways of their forefathers and went seeking after strange pleasures. Yea, they forsook their classes, and the wrath of those high in authority waxed hot against them. Yea, some were even banished from the Garden of Knowledge, having allied themselves with strange frats, wherein the members did work iniquity in the eyes of the Profs. For there rose up unto them great Hank, and thus spake he to the Fac. Behold, shall not this be for a sign unto the following generations that no secret society may exist in my realm? And the Sophs were diminished thereby, yet they waxed strong, and having run the race and finished the course, they came into the inheritance of juniors. Now a Junior in those days was a wonderful thing! Next in rank and in learning were the Seniors, who wore strange gowns, and spoke queer words and had bad cases. Then saith the juniors, Shall not we do even as they? Shall we not wear caps in Stuart Hall? And on the next day, behold! they wore gay caps and the Seniors were quite abashed, and there was great applause from the land of the Preps. Now there prevailed at this time a queer custom in that land, for there rose up a great man who spake up unto those seated in 1-hapel. To me shall all absences be excused, yea, all absences from chapel, from class, and from church. Likewise to me shall all tardies be referred, and whosoever excuseth them not is not wise. Now these are the rules thereof. If an absence in not excused in three days, he by whom the offence in wrought is guilty in the eyes of Brower. Nevertheless to him will I give a slip, even a gay slip, yellow in color, and upon receipt of this token shall he be received into class and restored unto favor. And the Juniors did well in the sight of the school, and made noble excuses, yea, even Williams made noble excuses, and Brower was well content. Then saith the juniors: 4 Are not we a noble class? Do not we excel in all kinds of learning? Have we not sharks among us? Behold! we will put forth an annual which shall be for a light and a lamp unto all other classes. For an exceedingly small sum will we put forth this annual, and all the school shall see of the stuff of which juniors are made. And on these books doth the fame of the Juniors rest-yea, even the fame of the learned Juniors of 'l1. 19 I Q 9 K Aj, 7 0,4 The Junior-Senior Banquet The Juniors gave their annual Love-feast to the Senior class of 1910 on the evening of April twenty-first, at the Harvey House. At nine o'clock, as the orchestra played the grand march, they assembled in the dining room. After the invocation by President Culbertson, they were seated at small tables which were artistically decorated with ferns and sweet peasg the favors being American Beauty roses. The menu cards were done with water colors in a dainty light and dark blue, and the following menu was served: Little Neck Clams Radishes Olives Braised Larded Sweetbreads. Mushroom Sauce New Green Peas Creme de Menthe Punch Small Tenderloin Steak, Rossini Small Tomato Stuffed Shoe String Potatoes New Asparagus Salad Fresh Strawberry Sundae Assorted Cakes Edam Cheese Crackers Cafe Noir Mr. Fred Bowman acted as toastrnaster in his usual fascinating manner.

The hot july afternoon had begun in the city of Emporia on july 12, 1940. Judge of the juvenile Court, Leo. F.

Brown's Short Order Restraurant for dinner, and was tired from the walk. With the customary hum, the crowd began to assemble. The warden of the jail, G. W. Lawrence, led a boy of ten to one of the front seats. The lawyers and spectators came strag- gling in. For ten minutes things noisily adjusted themselves. Then, as the hands of the clock on the wall pointed to two, the judge rapped upon his desk and called the Court to order. The prosecutor, Mr. Goodwin, will come forward and deliver the accusation, he said gruifly, with his eyes wandering vacantly over the little company before him. A gray-haired man, once of middle height, now bowed with cares more than with years, arose, and, leaning upon his cane, said in a sharp, squeaky voice, Your Honor, I always, when possible, have my secretary, Mr. Bowman, talk for me. At this a corpulent, long-haired man with a black mustache arose and, swaying to and fro, started to read from a large sheet of foolscap. July 12, 1940. Emporia, Kansas. Guy S. Goodwin vs. Michael Foley. Guy Goodwin brings suit herewith against Michael Foley on the charge of breaking a plate glass window, valued at a hundred and fifty dollars 181503, on the west side of the front room of the Emporia Farmers and Drovers Bank, on july 10, 1940, while the proprietors were nicht zu hause. The Judge turned to the clerk of the Court, and said, Take that down, please, Miss La- Louettef' He next announced: The accused will come forward. The warden led the crest-fallen little street gamin to a position before the Judge's desk. The Judge was tired, but his gruff voice softened perceptibly as he spoke to the little fel- low before him. That was the reason that he had held the well-paid position of Judge of the Juvenile Court for so many years. His voice and his heart always softened to children. Well, sonny, what's your name? Michael S. Foley. Where do you live? H212 Merchant Street. What's your father's name? Mister Foley. But what's his first name? What does your mother call him? 'Leonard, dearg' and she calls me 'chickenf The judge gave a start, reached his big arm around the desk and drew the shrinking little figure toward him, Heck, he muttered, as he looked into the boy's dark eyes. Say, sonnyg we'll give you fair play here. Did you break that window? No, sir, I never. The Judge turned to Mac Haag, the attorney for the offence. You may cross-question the accused. What does your father do, Mickey, said the lawyer, pulling his goatee. He was not used to this sort of cases. 26 Sells hot tamales and weenies and Otto Hendrick's 58 varieties of pickles, on Sixth and Commercial. As the conversation verged from the first person to a subject of family pride, Mickey became more communicative. And what do you do? said the lawyer. I take care of Mrs. Bess Potter Witherspoon's furnace and Mrs. Ethel W, Sankey's cats, an' I get three dollars a week. Do you go to school, Mickey? No, sir, pa don't believe in co-education, so he won't send me to school. He teaches me logic and the multiplication table at home, and I go to our preacher's house every Saturday and eat supper with Mrs. Nellie van Guard, she's his wife and she's fine. There's a lot of us boys and she gets Mrs, Ethel Brooks Burley to come an' cook up for us. We've got a club an' our pass-word's D-ye-lov-me. It's bully, an', say, Boss- 'That's all right in its place, Mickey, but it's off the subject. Did you say you didn't break that window? Mickey came suddenly to earth. No, sir, I never. Excuse me, your Honorg I would like to say a word, said a sweet-faced, gray-haired lady of forty-tive, rising from her seat beside the Secretary. I was sitting at the desk in the bank otlice the day that the window was broken, doing some copying for my husband, and I don't believe that little boy did it. A green flying-machine was passing at the time, and I can't help but think that the piece of iron must have come from it. The corpulent man through this had been extremely nervous. Half rising, he said, Now, May, you are out of order. You must remember- That's all right. That's all right, my dear, said the judge benignly. Let me see, let me see. The lady sat down and, leaning over to her husband, said, See what a dear little hat he has, just like one we had in our store. The Judge pressed a button at his side. When the tall, spare form of the janitress ap- peared at the door, he said, Miss Polk, will you please go to the information bureau and ask Mrs. J. Douglass-jones, who in town own green flying-machines. As the janitress disappeared a scared, wrinkled, careworn face was thrust in at the door: Excuse me, Monsieur, but is this the room where my divorce case is to be tried? No, it isn't. You'll have to go down to the general office and find out there. The judge's voice had strangely not resumed its harshness as it generally did when he spoke to men. That fellow, Marquis, does have a lot of trouble in his life, he said. By this time the Janitress had come back. Please, your honor, she said, Mrs. J. Doug- lass-Jones says that the Woemans are the only ones around town who have a green flying- machine. Its number is 2-3-4-1, and it's manufactured by the Charles Lewis Flying Machine Company, of Olpe. Go to the wireless office and ask the operator, Mrs. Mary MacDun, to send word to Mrs. Woemans and their chauffeur that they're subpoenaed to be at the Juvenile Court Office at three-thirty. Please, your honor, sir, the stooped millionaire banker rose and leaned on the back of his chair as he spoke, I have some direct evidence to offer here against that boy's character. He has been in the State Reformatory twice, and I brought Mr. Nicholas along to testify to it. At this, a man with dark hair and a long, flowing beard, who had been sitting quietly in the back of the room, rose, and said, I am compelled to apologize, your honor, for a mistake which I made. I had a boy in charge at the school whose name was Foley, but when I saw this boy I knew there was no resemblance between them. That point is settled and dismissed, said the judge curtly, and Mr. Nicholas subsided. As the clock pointed to three twenty-seven, the Woeman's family, looking a little dizzy from their hurried ride, came in, the mother first, followed by three children, the youngest of her ten, and the chaffeur. They were accompanied by Kate Taylor Hunt, a famous author from New York, who spent part of her summers on the Woemans' quiet farm. There was a preceptible interest on the part of the Court as they entered, for the Woemans were the wealth- iest and most respected gypsum-growers in the State. 27 v While they were seating themselves the judge touched the telephone button and spoke into the receiver. 2-4. Hello. Is this E. T. Skiles-Jones Decorating Company? What is the value of the middle plate-glass window of the Farmers and Drovers Bank? One hundred and forty dollars. Thank you. Miss LaLouette, will you change those figures from one hundred fifty to one hundred forty? Excuse me, your Honor, I paid a hundred and fifty dollars for that window. That makes no difference here. I do not dispute E, T. Skiles-Jones' Word on anything. He turned to the Court again, and said, Mrs, Woemans, were you out in your flying machine on July 10th ? I do not remember, you must ask Mr. Howells, he keeps account of all our trips, said Mrs. Woemans' from a small box on which she was standing to enable her to see over the Judge's desk. Mr. Howells arose from his chair: Your Honor, he said, In my note-book I have recorded a trip to the Flat Rocks Park with Mrs. Woemans and the children. I have it noted particu- larly, as the machine was disabled on the way home by having a cog-wheel broken. Hem, where were you when the wheel was broken? Just above the house of Mrs. Mary Grigsby Martin, the widow of the late governor. The Judge turned and, pressing a button, spoke into a tube. State Mathematician? Please come to the Juvenile Court Room. Yes, right away. In a moment a stately woman in black entered from a private door. Since her husband's death Mrs. Susie Burnham Dante had been in the employ of the State as a mathematician. Mrs, Dante, said the Judge, would it be possible for a piece of iron, flying from the cog-wheel of a flying machine, flying over Mrs. Grigsby-Martin's home, to strike the middle front window of the Farmers and Drovers Bank on the other corner? Mrs. Dante began to compute mentally. The sine of the angle is equal to twice the cos, times the csc, according to Wakeeny's rule. Let me see-Yes, it would be quite possible. Thank you, Mrs. Danteg that is all. I consider the case proven, and pronounce you not guilty, Michael Foley. Mr. Goodwin, if you are intending to pursue your case farther you must take it to a different court. The Court is herewith dismissed for the day. As the members of the court went out the judge called Mickey aside. Say, sonny, he said, you ask your father and mother if they ever heard of Old Pants Bracken, and tell them we'd be powerful glad to have them call around and see us upon Culbertson Avenue andi Brower Street. -K.

The Freschmenne were a crummye bunche And a ryghte motleye horde, They were but late from off thee farme And green as anye gourde. For Captaine they had picked a lene And hongrye luking wightg To juice the kyne hadde been hys task, Lew Byggere was he hight. The barnyarde lorde hadde not yette called The breakynge of thee day, Whenne upp the Freschmenne hadde y-plucked Theyre bodyes from thee hay. For the hadde thoughte ful privilee Theyre banner for to plant, And sallied forthe ere break of dawne As verye cowards arrant. But to this planne the Sophes were heppe, They knew aboute the plotte, And whenne the Freshmenne pulled it off Were Johnnye on thee spotte. The Green Ones started oute ful bolde, En route to thee Collygge, They gotte no furder thanne that playce That is called Caesar's Brygge. For there thee hardye Sophes did stande Withouten anye feare, Thee nyght was bygg and theyre stoute hearts Were fylled with ryght goode cheere. Ryght in the vanne our Captaine stoode, Thee myghte hero Fonnye, With Shortye Wyllis bye his syde More craftye he thanne brawnye. And there were Athertonne and Crummye, And Baird and Bradleye, too, And eke oure doughtye Teutonne, Hege, Goode menne all and true. And whenne thee Freschmenne reached thee brygge, Ye Gods and Beauteouse Dames! It was a stirrynge sight to see The Sophes clymbe on theyre fraymes. 30 Amonge thee Freschmenne was a churle, Jayke Weedrik was hee clept, For brawlynge and for fytinge harde He hadde a wondrouse reppe. But alle his strengthe avayled him naughte, For harke ye whatte befell, Oure Fonnye chose him for the fraye With a bludcurdlynge yell. He strucke this Jaycobbe on thee hedde, And smote him hypp and thygh, And called his sturdye henchermenne His handes and feete to tye. And whyle this dede was beynge done, The Sophes hadde seized Lewe Bygger And were aboute to tye him upp With verye seemlye vigoure. And when he called for Freschmanne holp, To tayke his captors off, The seelye knaves mistooke his face And took hym for a Sophe. Righte willynglye with Freschmanne rope His handes and feete they bound, And went awaye and left theyre captaine Squirmynge on the grounde. And thus thee merrye fyte Went on Until thee earlye morne, Whenne all thee Freschyes were in bondes- Forsoothe they were forlorne. The Sophes hadde clappede them all in yrones They were in durance vyle, They coulde do naught but styck around And grumble all thee whyle. What boots yt furder for to tell Aboute this famous stryfe Ytte is familiare to us all- Ytte was in Co1lygge Lyfe. I wyll no longer clayme youre eares, Suffyce ytt for to saye Thatte never was there suche a scrappe Before or synce thatte daye.

Place: Before Stuart Hall. Time: Fall of 1909. Scene opens with janitor on the roof. Janitor. I have prayed the trustees for respite from this three month daily watching, while, conined to this shingled summit, I have watched like a weather-cock for this high school emigration, for so commands the Sophomores Nineteen Twelve. But while I keep this splintery bed not visited by dreams, for pity is my companion, and when I please to chant the Sophomore dirge, then I weep, bewailing the calamities of those new ones coming. Hail! hail! a stock train, thronged with our Freshmen, and causing many horses to shy and run. HA, HA, ha, ha! I give this loud signal to the Sophomores, that they may conclude their plans and raise their class cheer in joyous triumph. May it be my good fortune to see them all safely registered, but of all else I am silent, a great bribe is placed upon my tongue, yet I willingly jest with those who know, and occasionally feel sorry for those who so little expect it. fExit.J fFaculty enter chantingzj Faculty: Lo, this third month ends our respite, Respite needed from past worries, Worries caused by crafty Sophomores, Sophomores full of wit and wisdom. Remember we how first they entered, Str. Fifty strong and god-like handsome, Wisely picked for Nineteen Twelve. Gayly decked with white and purple. First to show their mighty valor, Planted they the flag-wrapped hedge-pole, While the Sun made noon at Bangs' home. They the boys of Nineteen Eleven Rushed the youths who set the standard. Hour by hour they rolled and wrestled, Wrenching, straining every muscle, If perchance they might not conquer The floating banner purple painted, But, by Zeus, that self-same banner Rests with those who proudly raised it. Next to fall by these then Freshmen Antr. The former foe in base-ball tactics, For upon that fated P. M, Piled the scores of those our loved ones. Not alone in might excelling Str. It this host of Nineteen Twelversg Deeply toned, thy knees unshaking, 1 Captured first in declamation. Later on in that year glorious, Curtis clear voiced and J. Elden, Far out-classed the team opposing. Arguing with no false logic, With the judges' afiirmation. No other class is half so merry, Antr. Holding festivals for pastime, Each denoting some won victory. Best of all they held a banquet, Rich in wines and tongues of peafowls, 34 Thus they reveled undisturbed. On the day of the commencement, How we wept for their departure, Wept for them more than our Seniors. All their tricks we have forgiven, Glad again to give them welcome. But with our joy we have few sorrows, Bewailing for those who came not with them. Wakeeney jane, with diamond ring, Black-eyed Nell, and two McCalls. All these and several more came not. CEnter Sophomoresj Chorus Leader. We are here, Sophomores, to congratulate you on past successes, for it is right to honor the most progressive class in school. We would gladly hear how you intend to greet the coming Freshmen and how you will treat them through the year, nor will we grudge it thee if thou art silent. Soph. For some unknown reason the train is on time and has brought us the rubber collared Freshmen. Chorus Leader. What sayest thou? The stranger in town? Soph. They are in charge of the boarding house agents. Do I speak plainly? C. L. Chills creep over me. Alas, be easy with them, boys. Soph. Your looks show your sympathetic heart. C. L. But how? Hast thou any credible proof of their arrival? Soph. Of course we have, unless Hooker has deceived us. But look, yonder comes a herald from the depot. He shall give the reason for his haste and frightened look. fEnter Phil Lucas.J Phil. Hail, thin-whiskered faculty. At the end of this third month I have come, with many hopes all blasted, successful in but one, they are here, but their looks disappoint even me. Hail most noble Sophomoresg gladly do I make known to you the landing of this un- cultured crew. But for my services grant me one request, even as the cat juggles the captured mouse, so at first be easy with these breakable toys before the fatal crash. Chorus Leader. I, too, would beg the same request. Many classes have I seen come and go, but never did any so need our protection. Soph. Long ago have we marked the path of this A-S-Sociation, which fate and the gods have sealed. tEXeunt.j fEnter Freshmen. Phil makes hasty escapej Chorus. Hail, young Freshmen, youth of parents. How, by Zeus, can we instruct thee? Now in truth can we adore thee? Fresh. First it is right to pay our tuition, then, exhausted by such a drain, to write for reinforcements. Often have we heard of this college, abounding in inspired cases, and have longed to undergo the delightful experience. CBlushes from several of the faculty.J Since our high school graduation, coming here has been our highest ambition and is foremost in our dreams. First show us laughing, blue-eyed Celia, and sweet-voiced Ruth, dear to Lester, and let us hear the jokes of the upright Crumb Bros., since we now are in money-saving Emporia, where students get good table board for S2.50 per week. CEnter Sophomores, winking at the Faculty.J Soph. Faculty, kind instructors of our flock, we will not be ashamed to speak to you of our long desire for this younger class, nor hesitate to show our affection towards it. So, now, dear ones dismount from thy hayrack, and enter into our vacant halls, that they may echo forth a welcome. Fresh. Offspring of nobles, guardians of the College, thou hast made a speech which was becoming to our arrival, for thou hast received us past our just reward. CExeunt Fresh.J 35 Soph. See how blindly they walk, how unsuspectingly they must fall. CExeunt Soph.J Chorus How like geese they blindly follow, Lacking wit for quick conception, Tramping, treading to destruction, Knowing not the ways of Sophomores, But let us hope for gentle handling. Fresh. Cwithinj. Oh! woe is me! Struck to tle heart with a fatal blow. Chorus Leader. Silence! Who cried out struck with a fatal blow? Fresh. Woe is me again, struck with a second blow! C. L. It seems to me by the wailing of the Freshmen that some evil deeds have befallen them. Let us hold a faculty meeting, in case some canning need be done. Wilson. I give my opinion that we should call the whole school to help us. Felix. And it seems to me, or seems as though it seems, that we should rush in and catch the torturers in their act. Culbertson. And I share in the same opinion, and I vote to do something. Mrs. W. Yes, we are slow, these tyrants will trample underfoot our sacred traditions. Elmer. I dare say I know not what to advise, unless to can them all. Brower. Aye, aye, sir! I dislike certain of them anyway. Carr. That is not endurableg it would ruin athletics. Schaff. Well, now! on the testimonies of mere goans are we to divine that injury has been done. Nurse. Perhaps they are just homesick. CEnter rolling stage, bearing victorious Soph. waving flagpole in one hand and football in tlce other, with foot on fettered suffering Freshman. QGreat applause from audiencej Soph. Having said much before this to suit the moment, still we boast to show this sudden change. So easy it was it seemed a shame to take the goods. Yet the will of the gods must be obeyed. First, we tore from tender hands the reed-like pole, and cut, with Helen's cruel leaden hatcl'et, the splitting fibers from the lifc-giving earth. Next, in turn, a football game was ours, and then in track, the Senior-Sophomore combination carried off the trophies of the day. Nor is this all, for as long as life holds with this gasping, prostrate class, we still intend to take every victory fought for. C. L. We wonder at thy strength, and how bold thou art. Full well we expected trouble but never expected such foul abuse. Soph. You seem to threaten us as mere Preps. We will pay no attention to these vain barkingsg but, being so strong in power over this College of Emporia, will set things all right. CCurtain.l -M.

I M Seal QSophomores I912Q M There's a Reason. In harmony with the long established customs and traditions handed down to the rising generation, by those who have preceded us in the knowledge game, which demands sub- servience to upper classmen and sophomores, the class of '13 has ever striven to bear in mind that we are mere cumberers of the earth. Vorious and terror-inspiring have been the threats which we have seen tit to issue when some unruly member of our number has neglected to greet his superiors with a cheerful grin. In copious draughts have our tears been shed when hats and bonnets have stubbornly refused to be doffed to one of these worthies. Oft in the stilly night have we scratched our pates and tossed on a sea of mental worry, trying to devise some scheme whereby our lawless class- men could be made to see the error of their way. 41 FRESHMAN BOYS.

Dark indeed would be the outlook were there not reasons for this gross neglect. We see a scuffle, hear a yelp and watch that mighty freshman tackle emerge from the mix-up and lope over the plain for a touchdown. We watch a freshman pole down the biggest apple on the oratorical tree, our bosoms swell with pride as we read of freshman stars on the basketball field. At various times we have sought to liven our spirits and embellish the inner man by means of a freshman party. Then do the valiant Sophs. summon their allies, the preps. and, with the aid of these Hessian hirelings, proceed to tie us to wagons, fireless cookers and tiling. While there are more comfortable incidents than being tied to a pipe fence until the faint grey streaks of dawn appear, we are still inclined to be chesty over the fact that where one freshman was tied, footprints could be found in the immediate vicinity indicating the recent presence of three or more Sophs. Everywhere one finds the freshman distinguishing himself, his class and his college. We sing on the Glee Club, we play every game from tiddle-de-winks up, we shine in literary societies, our professors sit up nights to concoct some problems which we cannot solve, and we look the whole world in the face for we owe not any man. We wish to pay homage where homage is due, but so long as we know that, instead of being cumberers, we are the real fat, succulent cucumbers in a garden of onions, our regal dignity and our exalted position will be maintained.

Social Calendar SEPTEMBER 11. The first Saturday afternoon the girls of the Y. W. C. A. gave a hen party at Stuart Hall. As this social is to give a welcome to the new girls, the first part of the afternoon was spent in getting acquainted. Later they were called down to the front steps where they were served with plums and grapes. SEPTEMBER 15. The Aftermath annual Chocolate was given at the home of Miss Edna Pyle, nearly all the new girls were present and reported a delightful time. SEPTEMBER 17. The principal social functions of the collegiate year are the two Receptions given by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. for the new students. The Opening Reception was given at Anderson Memorial Library. SEPTEMBER 18. The Aletheans gave a Tea Party in honor of the new girls at the home of Miss Kate Taylor. The house and porch were effectively decorated with wild flowers and ferns. Four girls dressed in Puritan fashion, presided over the tea tables. Some musical numbers given by the old girls added to the enjoyment of the afternoon. The social events of the literary societies throughout the entire year are of importance in college circles. The principal events given during the Rushing season for new members are The Aftermath birthday party, The Alethean Seal Luncheon, and the joint parties with the boys' societies. OCTOBER 27. The girls of the College gave an entertainment at the home of Major Hood, for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. House. The entertainment took the form of a Japanese Minstrel Show. Four other nations were represented in specialties, and after the performance these nations served their favorite viands from their booths at the price of ten cents. The entertainment was a success in every way, and the girls cleared over 8100. A number of the college girls who meet every Saturday night to have a good time and to drown in merriment and laughter all the cares and troubles of the past week, are known as the Spread Girls. Nine girls of the Sophomore class have formed a similar group. 45 During the Thanksgiving vacation of their Sophomore year several of the Senior girls enjoyed a House Party at Helen Hurley's home in Minneapolis, Kans. They have enjoyed many good times together since then and are known as the Helen Hurley House Party Girls. . DECEMBER 17. The girls of the college gave a Bazaar shortly before Christmas in order to raise money for the dormitory fund. The success of the bazaar was due to the support of the women of Emporia, and the boxes from the Ladies' Aid Societies all over the state. The girls feel well repaid for their work by having S350 to add to their fund. JANUARY 3. A The students of Lewis Academy were given a reception by their principal, Professor Wilson. The Wilson home, on Eighth avenue and Union street, was tastefully decorated, and the air of good cheer and hospitality was conveyed to every guest. JANUARY 19. Mrs. Christian entertained with a spread for the girls of the basket ball team. JANUARY zz. President Culbertson gave a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Fuson, who sailed for China as Missionaries a few days later. JANUARY 29. According to time honored custom the Aftermath went to 709 Walnut street, Saturday evening, for their post-flunk spread. After all the teachers and the horrors of the examina- tions were discussed, the spread began to appear and just as fast to disappear, and such a spread, there were ten varieties of sandwiches, salads of various hues, pickles, olives, potato chips, cocoa with real whipped cream, cakes and fruit. FEBRUARY 2. The Mid-Year reception was given at the home of Mary McCown. MARCH The members of the new Y. W. C. A. cabinet were entertained by their president, Miss Claire Boyle. An elaborate two-course luncheon was served. All the boys enrolled in Bible classes met at the Gymnasium one evening for a spread. They had all kinds of good things to eat and played some exciting games of basketball. MARCH 21. The Anns entertained the boys of the Philologic society at a masquerade party in Schaff- ner Gymnasium. The costumes were wonderful to see and the most fun of the evening was guessing who was who. After a picnic supper old fashioned games were played. APRIL 1. The last and best event of the basket ball season was an eight o'clock dinner given by Captain Lyons. The banquet room was decorated with red and white streamers and over the center of the table was suspended a basket ball, likewise decorated with red and white. It had been used in the last two games of the season, both of which were won. All agreed that the first game of next year's schedule should be played with this ball as an omen of good luck. APRIL 13. The Y. W. C. A. Frolic was held in Schaffner Gymnasium. Every room in Stuart Hall rang with merriment when the girls assembled for their fun. The first comers carried in the hurdles from the athletic field and held a track meet in the lower hall, for the track meet was to be the main feature of the evening. At length the hurdles and the banisters were forsaken for the gymnasium, where after other stunts were performed, candy, apples, salted peanuts and lemonade were passed around. MAY 7. Two of the most pleasant social events of the spring season are the banquets that the Philologic and Mathonian societies give to their affiliated girls' societies. just before the commencement season the Philologics and Aletheans hold a little farewell love-feast in honor of their departing Seniors, in the form of a breakfast on the campus. 46 4511 K fff , x , 12 ff ,1,,f f f y ' Z 52 if fi .-fi, N ,f 2 Z xl 3 Z , V X , X Q Q ff Wwwmf ymwi Z1 ,Z K ff Z X-W ff .-,Y ., ' Mfr K XX X iq. f A Q 5 f if , .A B , 1' ff .1 f :gk ng: A 09 , ff f,,ffff-- W KR.

Lewis Academy Basketball Team. The Lewis Academy basket ball team of 1909-'10 passed through a very successful season. While only a few games were played every one was a victory for the Academy. The team practiced regularly all season and were the opponents of the first College team nearly every night. Captain Culbertson played a steady all round game at right forward. At all times he was heady and sharp. He will be missed next year. The Russell brothers at left forward and right guard played consistently and well. It was to them that the crowd gave the most applause. Arnett Grigsby was in wonderful class at center. He was accurate at goal shooting and has the wonderful record of twelve free throws out of twelve chances. He played in every game and every minute of the time. Wallace and Altman took turns at the other guard. Both are players and will make val- uable men next year. Roy Brainridge, owing to an unavoidable absence from school, did not get into the game at the start, but he was an old player and much of the credit for the team work is given to him. 54 1 ! l I GRADUATES OF LEWIS ACADEMY.

When Carr gets up to make a speech I wriggle in my seatg It fills my soul with joy to hear The patter of his feet. 56 REV. J. D. HEWITT, D. D. REV. JOHN F. HENDY, D. D. President John F. Hendy. Dr. Hendy was the first president of the College of Emporia, being elected to the position while he was pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Emporia. Dr. Hendy's term of office as president, from 1883 to 1893, might be called a time of beginnings. Stuart Hall was built, Austin Chapel finished and dedicated, the elm trees and lilac hedge were planted on the campus, Anderson Memorial library came into existence, and many other things were started that now have an important place in our college life today. After a careful search in the records of the institution, we find that these ten years were filled with an incredible amount of hard work done, with almost no cash capital. High stand- ards of scholarship and Christian character were created among students and faculty which have left their stamp upon the life of the institution. President Hendy began his work the first year with a faculty composed of himself and three assistants, and a student body of seventeen. The second year three additional members were added to the faculty and the student body increased to seventy-three. During this decade of history, the board of trustees had on it such men as Judge Albert H. Horton, of Atchison, Senator P. B. Plumb, of Emporia, H. C. Cross, of Emporia, john B. Anderson, of Manhattan, and others whose names are familiar in Kansas history. Quoting from one who knew President Hendy well: He was an eloquent and popular preacher and could easily have accepted a pastorate, in which he would havebeen free from such cares, but having put his hand to the plow, he would not look back. With his own salary far in arrears he often went deep into his own pocket to meet some especial expense for the college, or to relieve some pressing need of instructor or student. President Hendy resigned in 1893 as president, and removed to jefferson City, Mo., where he now lives, having retired from active life. A President John D. Hewitt. President Hewitt came to the college in 1893, at a crisis in the life of the institution. It was a time of financial panic all over the country, and the college was feeling this, as well as its own heavy debt of almost S40,000. The energy and enthusiasm of President Hewitt saved the day. For almost six years he made a struggle for the life of the school, constantly on the move before congregations and individuals, before synods and presbyteries, in public and private, in the East and the West, he carried on the work. In this struggle, he had the sym- pathy and active co-operation of his trustees and faculty. He increased the faculty, doubled the number of the student body, reduced the standing debt one-half, and had a plan on foot for wiping out the entiredebt, when his sudden death interfered. The material equipment of the college was also increased, viz., a new heating plant was established, the laboratory equipped, a gymnasium put in on the basement floor, Stuart Hall was repaired. Several rooms were finished off and put to use, including the Y. W. C. C. Hall, the society halls, etc., and the sal- aries of the teachers were raised all around, several times. During this time, athletics were in a flourishing condition, and the football team was winning games from the Normal, K. U., Ottawa and Washburn. Oratory also was in high favor, the college receiving twice the second place in the state contest. Perhaps the most conspicious thing in President Hewitt's work was the relation he sus- tained toward his student body. So warm and cordial was it, and so sympathetic in its na- ture, that no one who ever came into that relationship can ever forget his cheery greeting and warm hand-clasp, his patient attention to student's troubles when they came to him in his office, his delightful talks at chapel exercises, and his frank and hearty encouragement of all that was good and worthy. President Hewitt died at his home, Red Rocks, in Emporia, in April, 1898. 58 REV. J. C. MILLER, D. D. REV. WILLIAM WESTWOOD, D. D. 59 W. D. WARD President John C. Miller. Rev. John C. Miller was elected to the presidency of the college in 1898, and his admin- istration covers a period of seven years of active and incessant labor, during which there were abundant evidences of results. The remainder of the old debt was wiped out of ex- istenceg Carnegie made his gift of a building for Anderson Memorial Library, which was erect- ed in 1901 at a cost of S30,000, the Music Department and the Business Department were added to the college, and an Elocution Department was started, but later abandoned. President Miller spent more time teaching in the class room than either of his predecessors, and there- fore a finincial agent was added to the force. In 1905 the burden of his position became so great that he determined to present his resignation, which he did, greatly to the sorrow of his friends among the students and faculty. At present Dr. Miller is pastor of the Presbyterian church of Osborne, Kaus., and takes an active part in the religious and philanthropic work of the state. 60 uw I M IEFWKWQ he ill -mem I 1l lA K9l iii: lu.

During the past year, a chair of public speakinq has been added to the faculty, and previous to this time the societies furnished all the training of that sort there was to be had. But while their work seriously is intended to direct the development of a student along oratorical lines, at the same time they furnish entertainment of high order. Glancing over the past years it invariably has been true that the strongest men in the societies made the most successful men in later life. The College of Emporia societies have individualities as distinct and marked as the personal characteristics of their members. They are to be judged as closely as possible by their representative writeups. 61 C-4 1 F C ,J .., Sw- E AFTERMATHS. TH -L Aftermaths. OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR.

On September the 23rd, 1905, the Aftermath society was organized with a charter mem- bership of eight girls. Each year upon this date a birthday party is held for Aftermath to introduce the new girls to her and to welcome back the old Aftermaths. Graduation takes some of her members, and for various reasons others drop out, but each year the membership increases until, at the present time, the roll numbers fifty-six. During the past year the programs, which the girls have presented, have excelled those of former years in every way. Probably the most novel and successful, from some points of view, was the Japanese program, after which the program committee served teag other notable ones were the Christmas, Hal1owe'en and Shakespearian programs. Several times this year the meetings have been held in Austin Chapel, so that the program could be varied by organ solos. The programs consist of music, vocal, piano or violin solos or duets. Essays, original stories and extemporaneous speeches are given, and also the inimitable Aftermath Scratch, the hearing of which would convince even the slowest of wits that the Aftermaths have a keen sense of humor along with their other virtues. Besides their work in society the Aftermath girls do their full share of the work in all of the other school enterprises-in basket ball, the Y. W. C. A., the Chorus and Glee Club, and the creditable way in which they fill prominent positions in these organizations makes every one proud of them. As the school year comes to a close, when some of the girls will leave the society forever, and some to come back next year, it is a certain thing that whichever the case that old familiar song- Always loyal, always true, Aftermath, Aftermath, gold and blue, will sound to them always as a token of one of the most enjoyable phases of college life. 64 Philologic. Philologic Society is the oldest student organization in the College of Emporia. It was organized, soon after the college started, by a number of ambitious boys who wanted training in literary work and debating. Through all the years since that time it has never ceased to grow and improve and, while it has become a factor in the social and athletic life of the school, still it has always adhered strictly to its original purpose-the literary development of its members. At first the society had no equipment of its own and meetings were held in a regular recitation room by the light of a kerosene lamp. This did not discourage the Phils, however, and the literary work was carried on then as well as it has ever been since. As the college prospered the Phils naturally sought a more desirable location. A large hall was finished for them on the third floor of Stuart Hall, and the Phils themselves furnished it with carpet, table, chairs, and an upright grand piano. The walls have been covered with pictures, pen- nants and banners, among which are track championship banners for each of the past six years, during which time the Phils have been college champions in track. A marble statue of Venus adorns one corner of the room. Since the college has no chair of elocution and oratory, the literary society is the only place where students can get training in these most important branches of study. That the Philologic Society has done this work well is shown by the fact that its members have always engaged creditably in inter-society and inter-collegiate debates and contests. Although the men have not all become star debaters and orators, they have learned to appear at ease before an audience and express themselves clearly and properly whenever occasion may demand it. This ability to express one's thoughts is an invaluable asset to any man, and no college education is complete without it. Since the Alethean Society was organized and affiliated with the Philologic, several social events have been held between the two societies each year. Most important of these is the Philologic banquet to the Aletheans, given in Philologic Hall every spring. Others are the Alethean Breakfast, a reception to new members each semester, and occasional open meetings in honor of the Aletheans, These affairs are not intended nor allowed to detract in any way from the literary work of the society, but rather to vary the routine of society work and excite enthusiasm. To briefly describe the real work of the society-a regular meeting is held every Monday night in Philologic Hall and a program is given consisting of essays, book reviews, extempor- aneous speeches and a debate. The debate is the heaviest and perhaps the most valuable thing on the program, and is never omitted. Live, up-to-date topics are written up and discussed. After the program the society goes into business session, in which the members get valuable drill in parliamentary rules. A thing that hardly needs to be mentioned to any one acquainted with the college is Philologic society spirit. It is difficult to describe. It permeates Philologic Hall and mani- fests itself wherever the Phils are represented as a society. It is a spirit of honest pride in the society and its workg a spirit of willingness to sacrifice self for society, to face the winter winds and spring rains in making one's way to Stuart Hall on Monday night fand sometimes to face indignant professors with lessons unprepared on Tuesday morningslg the spirit of fair winning and good losing, of pride in the past and present, and bright hopes for the future of the society. Philologic prospects for the future are brighter than ever before. There are now over fifty active, hardworking members, many of whom have had experience in debate and oratory outside of Philologic Hall. With these experienced men for leaders, and such a large number of good men behind them, Philologic should prosper through the coming year as it never has before. 65 'JD W O -v I Q- L C ,- ,- ,- O 4.: J.: He PHILOLOGICS.

It was just five years ago that C. of E. had one girl's society. A division came that same year, and the twin sisters, Alethean and Aftermath are still in school. Alethean was organized by girls with rare enthusiasm, and now a like crowd meets every Tuesday afternoon in Phil Hall to spend a profitable and jolly hour getting acquainted with each other's talents. All tho'ts of the blues are banished when the Aletheans get together. A program is usually given consisting of literary numbers and music. An especial interest was taken in debates, this year, extemporaneous and otherwise. Business meeting closes each session, affording excellent parliamentary drill. These the past two years have been ex- ceedingly enlivened by the wit of one or two who are always present. The recess between the program and business meeting is spent in chatting, singing or yelling. In no way can society on the slump apply to Alethean, for the attendance during the past year has been very good, although the Anns are as busy and studious as anybody. In every school enterprise the Anns are found at the front. The society is a characteristic feature of College life. Alethean has a distinct social life. The annual affairs are The Seal Luncheon, The Tea Party, The Phil-Ann Reception given to the new students, the Alethean Party to the Phils, and once in a while a joint meeting with them. The contests with the Aftermaths are events of the year, enjoyably spirited, but not quite College-Normal wholesome rivalry. Alethean is Alethean, and every year she gets a new supply of splendid girls who help fill the vacant places reluctantly left by the Senior girls. Once an Alethean, always an Alethean. In all parts of the world are loyal Anns who thrill with pride for A-L-E-T-H-E-A-N, Alethean! 70 Mathonians. The present year, viewed from every standpoint, has been a successful one for the Mathonian society. In years prior to the present the Mathonians have always been at the front, and this year is no exception, unless, it may be truly added, a little more so. This is probably due to the prevalence of that spirit called Mathonianism, which is a peculiar sort of thing, but a thing which every loyal Math swears by. As a rule the Maths are in the van when there is a van. Tradition has it that the Math- onians were always well up to the front in the days when contests of a literary nature, only, with the brother Phils were in order, and for the last two years athletic contests have been in order. For the second time we Mathonians call ourselves the champeen athletes of the school. This year the Mathonian football, basketball, track and baseball teams each held a practice game in the respective sports as named above. The day upon which the football game was played was turrible muddy, and the Math team hated the idea of cleaning the clay off their shoe-strings, after the game, but as the season in inter-society contests was extremely young, the Phils were much1y desirous of the contest, so the Maths trotted out onto the gridiron, and soon returned with the first scalp of the year, which had twelve points for the Maths to none for the Phils. As the basketball season drew near, the dope fiend got busy with his dope box, and- presto! change, the basketball score: Phils all they wanted, Maths 2.-This indeed looked discouraging, and with last year's defeat in basketball staring us in the face, we certainly couldn't hope for victory here. At the conclusion of the game, as is customary, the score was counted and, Oh, ye hyprocrites, ye Phil Monte Carlo men, horror of horrors, the score stood 33 to 13 in favor of the Mathonians. We pretty nearly had the baseball game won without lining up, and after the contest we had another scalp to hang up to dry, which sung a tune of 7 to 2. According to custom the track meet belongs to the Phils. The Math sprinters, consisting of Weidrich, Cleland, Atherton and Lewis, had been coming out a good deal, and the weight men, consisting of Sawhill, Haag, Evans, and Engle, had been weighing the chances. Out of mercy for the Phils, this event was dropped to the brother society by a score of 53 to 73. In a literary way, the winners in the most of the big doing's this year have all been Maths. This year for the first time in several the Maths raked in the Kenyon Oratorical, and in the State contest which was held in Wichita, a Mathonian got third place, which, con- sidering the fact that he was a Freshman, speaks well. By the time he really recovers from this annoying embarrasment, and matures into a sophomore or a young Demosthenes, great things may be expected from Dan Lockwood. As was customary, the William's contest in Freshman oratory was well taken care of by the Maths, and for the fourth time a Math won the gold medal. Last, but not least, the social and musical side of the society must be mentioned. This year's Glee Club sees all but two of the male contingency professing to be Mathonians. For the most of the social functions the Mathonians are indebted to the sister Aftermaths. Parties and doin's of different kinds are held semi-occasionally throughout the year. Unhesitatingly, it will be said that these affairs are something great, and are usually enjoyed by every one present. 71 if 5 A 1-4 1, 4- 1 L G .1 f- ,- O ,J Q-J O ,... S1 E MATH ONIANS.

In the fall of the year 1901 the Music Department of the College was organized by the faculty, merely as an experiment, It is owing to the leadership of Mrs. Robert L. Jones that it has come to be such an inseparable part of the College of Emporia. Mrs. Jones is well known, not only in Kansas, but beyond its borders, as a woman of rare musical ability and delightful personality. She was its director until the year 1908, when she resigned and was succeeded by her sister Mrs. Cravens, who has endeared herself to the students by her gracious manner and her capability as a teacher. That the Music Department has meant much to the College and has accomplished great things in the nine years of its existence, can be seen by a brief survey of its graduates, the organizations that have developed from it and the number of successful concerts that have been given. Although there were only two members on the faculty, a College Chorus of seventy-two members was organized after Christmas of that first year. In the spring the Hesperids made their first appearance before an Emporia audience in the presentation of Ruth, by Gaul. The opera was given in Austin Chapel, and the room was filled to the topmost bench of the gallery. The next year a violin teacher was added to the faculty and the Hesperids gave The Rose Maiden in the opera house. Miss Susie Townsley sang the soprano solos and Mr. Avery Dudley the tenor solos. The Holy City, given the next fall, was followed by a most amusing burlesque, The High Howling Hitters, which owed its success to the originality of Miss McCabe and Avery Dudley. The High Howling Hitters was given at the home of Ethel Morris, where the students of the Music Department held a reception for Mrs. Jones. In the spring the Rose Maiden was repeated for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Mrs. Simpson came to teach pipe organ, and Miss Paxton to be assistant voice teacher the next year. Miss Paxton teaches the theoretical studies, and she is considered an especially good teacher, one who always demands thoroughly prepared work. A comic opera, The Ameer, and a ballad opera, were given by the chorus. In '05, the Hesperids were merged into the chorus choir of the First Church, of which Mrs. Jones became director. This chorus choir was known all over the state. During the two years of its existence there was never a vacant seat at a rehearsal or a church service. The boys were 75 dressed in black suits with white ties. The girls white shirtwaists with black skirts and ties. In the fall of 1908 Mrs. Cravens came to be director of the Music Department. The Hesperids were reorganized and the best voices were chosen to form the Glee Club, which travelled widely over the state, giving two concert tours each year. The Chorus and Glee Club have always been characterized by faithful attendance at rehearsals and by clear, pure tone quality of singing. A miscellaneous concert was given in the fall, and an operetta, The Colonial Troubadoursj' in the spring. Last year the November concert was made up of miscellaneous choruses and solos, and the spring concert was a comic opera, The Trial By Jury. In that year the College Orchestra was organized, with fourteen members. Their music added greatly to the enjoyment of many College functions that winter. This year the organization has been enlarged and strengthened by the addition of several new members and they became still more popular as entertainers. A concert was given in Burlington during the winter. This year Mrs. Cravens secured the assistance of Madame Frieda Langendorf, who was en- route to California to fill a series of concert engagements, for the November concert. This was an unusual treat for an Emporia audience, and the concert was greatly appreciated. On the Tuesday following Easter the Hesperids presented Handel's great oratorio, The Messiah. This is the first time The Messiah has been given in Emporia. The First Pres- byterian Church was well filled by an audience that considered the rendition a marked success. Mrs. Cravens expects to make the giving of The Messiah at the Easter season an annual event. A unique musical organization that is widely known over the state is the Aeolian Brass Quartette. The four years of playing together made their music artistic and harmonious. They spent three summers touring the state and gave very entertaining concerts. The mem- bers of the quartette were: first cornet, Pedro Held, second cornet, Lawrence Engle, melophone, Charles Nicholas, euphonium, Fred Bowman, Rollin Caywood accompanied them as pianist. A music Study Club was organized this year, which met once a month, on Saturday afternoon. Its members were students of the Music Department. Several operas were studied and selections from them were given by the voice students. The programs were very enjoy- able and instructive. Student recitals are frequently given so that the students may become accustomed to singing and playing in public. That the Emporia College Music Department is well known throughout the state is evidenced by the number of requests for music teachers that are sent in during the spring months. The department issues certificates, diplomas, and degrees, for the required amount of work. The music students of the College of Emporia not only receive the best musical training, but the benefit of college life as well. They are taken into the societies and various circles by college students, and may profit by college lectures and entertainments. There are musical numbers on the lecture course that are chosen with the music pupils in mind and. which are of great benefit to them. 76 Graduates of Music Department.

The most pretentious effort yet made by the Hesperid Chorus, consisting of music students and faculty members, was the singing of Handel's Messiah at the First Presbyterian Church on the evening of March twenty-ninth. Frequent practice had been held for many weeks previous, under the efficient direction of Mrs. Cravens, head of the Music Department. All doubt as to a successful outcome of a somewhat heavy undertaking was dispelled by the performance itself. It was a worthy and reverent rendition that the students gave to Handel's immortal choruses, and it was a reverent and appreciative hearing with which the audience responded. B The soloists entered into the varying moods of the production with full sympathy, and their singing interwove skillfully with that of the chorus to carry the movement to its triumphant conclusion in the Hallelujah Chorus. In the soprano solos, the clear rich voice of Mrs. Emma Dent jones found ample scope for expression, particularly so in the exultation of the closing air, I Know That My Redeemer Livethf' Miss Edith Nation, contralto soloist, is just completing the music course. She has a voice mellow and full-toned, giving much promise, Mr. Garnett Hedge, of Chicago, has that rare possession, a lyric tenor voice, and le understands how to use it, taking the high tones with ease, sweetness and precision. The exacting demands made by the bass solos upon range and flexibility of voice were fully met in the singing of Mr. joseph A. Farrell, of Kansas City. A great share in the success of the production is due to Miss Florence Nicholas, of the Music Department, whose playing of the piano accompaniments during the rehearsals was indispensable. Dean Whitehouse, from the Music Department in Washburn College, played the pipe organ accompaniment. Mrs. S. F. Cravens, who inspired and labored faithfully for the undertaking, is at the read of the Department of Music in the College of Emporia. All who were interested in the initial performance of Handel's Messiah are encouraged by its success. The appreciation with which it was received, by both townspeople and visitors, will probably lead to its pre- sentation annually. 79 age. Sue bottom opposite p E GLEE CLUB. TH Glee Club.

Since that time it has become very popular, both among the friends of the College and the students. There are about twenty-six members which are selected from the college chorus. Of course, the semi-annual trips out of town are the most important engage- ments of the club, but it frequently appears on programs in Emporia, ranging from political meetings to sacred concerts. During its trips the members of the club are entertained at the homes of the different Presbyterian families in the towns where they appear, thereby bringing the Presbyterians over the state into closer touch with the college and its work. The mem- bers enjoy it highly and spend a great deal of time, each one trying to convince the others that his hostess was the nicest and that he had the best things to eat. The program this year was much like those given in former years. The opening number, Faning's Song of the Vikings, was very heartily received everywhere. Miss Nicholas played a caprice by Moszkowski, but seldom would respond to an encore, altho the applause was always very enthusiastic. The third number, the duet by Edith Nation and Clayton Patterson, was one of the most beautiful numbers on the program, their voices blending so well. This year there were two numbers on the program, obligato solos with an accompaniment by the full Glee Club- The Lass with the Delicate Air, with Gladys Riggs as soloist, and the Habanera, from Carmen, with Edith Nation as soloist. Both of these beautiful selections elicited much applause from the audiences. Charles Nicholas' voice was at its best in the Serenade, by Campbell-Tipton, and every evening he was forced to respond to an encore, which he did with a little song in negro dialect. Mable Thomas' soprano solo, Spring Song, by Weil, was charmingly rendered, she responded to encores with a clever little song, the sentiment of which was most1yf'Held. The dialogue, f'The Lunatics, by Axline Fay and Ray Everett did if possible score a greater hit than it did last year. Mr. Everett's terror after he had supposedly hypnotized Miss Fay was so realistic that the audience breathlessly awaited the awakening. The Male Chorus sang a beautiful arrangement of Nevins' Rosary, which was probably the most popular number on the program, so well did the boys render it. For encores, and they were frequent, they sang Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground, with Clyde Davidson as coloist, and also April and November or A Little Bird. The novelty on the program was a short minstrel given by the girls, in Japanese costume. The gay kimonas and bright chrysanthemums in the girls' hair made them look so pretty that they would have been well received even if they had not been able to sing. However, the solos, choruses and jokes were always well given. In place of the brass quartette which has heretofore been a part of the Glee Club, Fred Bowman played a Euphonium solo-selected from Faust Mr. Bowman plays with such accurateness and so much feeling that he is always very popular with the audience. Instead of the chorus printed on the program, the closing number was Unfold Ye Portals from Gounod's Redemption As the Glee Club sings this better than any other chorus, it was a very fitting close to a program which showed so well the ability of the students and instructors of the College. Mrs. Cravens received nothing but the highest praise for her gracious manner in conducting the chorus. The winter trip of the Glee Club this year began on December 28, and the first date was at Newton. The concert was given at the First Presbyterian Church, so the first thing to be done was to hold practice there. After the rehearsal, the members were assigned to their places, where they were so abundantly fed that they were hardly able to sing at the concert. One of the boys had forgotten his black shoes, and as tan shoes and evening dress weren't very harmonious, some rushing around was necessary to remedy the effect. The audience was very cordial and the concert went off beautifully, except for the sliding down the highly polished steps by one of the soloists. On Wednesday the entire club was entertained at the Hosington home with a luncheon, and with much regret and a kazoo apiece, they left for Wichita. In Wichita the concert was given in the Lewis Academy building. In the larger towns the audiences are seldom as large as they are in smaller towns during the holiday season, because there are so many entertainments. However, the audience in Wichita was very appreciative, especially as there were a number of former College of Emporia students present. After the 82 concert the club was invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Linberg, where a reception was in progress for the Kansas Music Teachers' Association. Mrs. Linberg as Miss Donahue was teacher of violin in the Music Department when it was first organized. fNote: At Wichita one of the Sopranos bought herself a new veil. She probably thought of the line about beauty half concealed. It had the desired effect, too.J The next date was Arkansas City, to which the entire club looked forward with great expectations: they were not disappointed. The hostesses of the members were nicer than they had anywhere else, if such a thing were possible, the audience enthusiastic, and automobile owners very liberal. Friday morning every one was taken for a ride to all the points of interest in and near the city. The Sleeth's were responsible for the delightful way the club was entertained, and every one was grateful to them. The trip ended with the entertainment given at Mulvane. The whole afternoon was spent there, and as the club was entertained at a hotel they proceeded to make the residents know they were in town. They examined the High School building thoroughly, to see if it conformed with all the rules they had learned in Pedagogyg tested the acoustic properties of the assembly-room by giving an impromptu concert, hid each other's pocket books, which by the way, created quite a stir, as all of them did not appreciate the jokeg and gave the college yell on the main street. The stage carpet in the Opera House, not being used to the tiny steps of japanese ladies, began to wrinkle and caused much merriment among the singers and audience. Leonard Foley is to be commended for the loyal support he gave his fellow students by his hearty applause. Immediately upon the close of the concert the club took the train for Emporia and, after losing some of the members on the way, arrived at home in the early hours of 1910, a tired but happy bunchg for had they not reached the acme of every college student's desire-going on a Glee Club trip? 83 COLLEGE OF EMPORIA ORCHESTRA.

Coney Island the Success of the Year. Large Attendance and Good Returns. Coney Island, the largest and most varied entertainment of the year was pulled off Wednesday night, April 20th, in Stuart hall. The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Athletic Association and was planned and managed by Professor Carr. It was due to his efforts and the hard and willing work of the boys in their individual stunts that the show was a success. The nature of some of the attractions can be easiest guessed from the names on the ticket. It is hardly necessary to say that the Hit the Coon, and the swift Slide for Life, from the top of the main entrance to the middle of the campus received the most frequent visits. Bostock's Animal Arena was one of the big shows. The trainer after having given five performances was begged for more. Bostock had a troupe of the best trained animals in the world. The elephant and giraffe did the most delicate tricks, the black lion, the only one in captivity, was a very proficient player on the guitar, the ostrich kangeroo, was the most grotesque animal, the wild cat done in oil presented a wild appearance. At the close of each performance the animals delighted the crowd by giggling. The Three Lovers, given by the Aletheans, was a shadow play, presenting Carleton's poem, of that title. Beth Hoisington read the poem to musical accompaniment. The enter- tainment was artistic and highly amusing from the moment Bess hid her first lover in the churn until the second lover fell through from the attic. During the interval between per- formances, music was furnished by Grace Smith and Nellie McCormick. The Aftermath's entertainment was a burlesque on grand opera, called The Grasshop- pers. The turkey gobbler was the star and the choruses were composed of bugs and grass- hoppers. The costumes were clever and attractive and the whole performance showed lots of preparation. The great pipe organist was successful. His organ can not be described, one would have to see and hear it to appreciate any description of the pipes, key, and wonderful variety of tones produced. All of the performances were closed so that everybody might attend the faculty meeting. This was the most universally enjoyed of all events. It gave the students a chance to show the faculty how they act and gave the faculty an opportunity to see how they appear to the students. 85 MISSIONARY HALL. U igtX.S Y? Ytiigmg 0 fx SPH?

Composed of the best men in college, both morally and athlectically, this organization does much to better the school life. Its work consists of meetings once a week, Bible classes composed of several of hthe younger men, taught by an older member, and true fellowship gained through helpfulness. The great event of the school year is the social held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. All men of the school, including the Faculty, are invited, while the girls are asked to be elsewhere. The fun consists of various stunts by nearly everyone present. Throughout the season basket- ball contests are held between the Bible classes. These games are always occasions for feasting. Morally, the life of a man is seen at its best in his connection with Christian work. The association encourages membership, and small hand-books are given to each student at the beginning of the year. These contain information concerning points of interest about Emporia and the College. Every man of consequence is a member of this organization, and works his best for its upbuilding. Jointly with the Young Women's Christian Association missionary work is carried on, and one Sunday afternoon a month mission meetings are held in the hall above the Library. Interesting programs are given, and the great work of advancing the kingdom of God is discussed. The young men have been very fortunate in securing speakers of note to encourage and advise them in the weekly meetings held Friday morning. The fellows are always glad to hear from men who have accomplished things and are inspired to do better work after listen- ing to them. At the convention at Rochester this year, three delegates from C. of E. were present, and they brought back great inspirations. The College Y. M. C. A. is always well represented at conventions and conferences. The room where the meetings are held is handsomely furnished and is a quiet room for study. Manifestly school life without the Y. M. C. A. would not approach nearly the high standard it does because of it. The work this year has been helped greatly by the new secretary, who has the work of the four institutions of the city.

W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is distinctly a student organizationj The cab- inet, including the president and minor officers, is composed of the most influential girls in college and it is they who keep not only the spiritual life of the girls active but also the social. The prime purpose of the Association is to promote fellowship among the students and to develop the spiritual side of their natures. There are very few girls who do not join the As- sociation and when they get in, they are constantly called upon to do little services for others in such a way that they develop the capacity for making themselves useful, and for taking hold of things where they are most needed. The Association conducts interesting and helpful courses in Bible study and mission study, for the students. These classes meet on an average once a week. They are led by the older students, and in these small groups the girls get close together, thus learning to think and talk more freely on religious subjects than they would otherwise. In order to pay the expenses of the Association, the girls have adopted a plan of system- atic giving. Each girl contributes what she can at a regular time, thus making it possible to plan the work according to the funds. After a brief chapel on Fridays the Association holds its regular weekly meetings. These meetings are made attractive by the student leaders and by special music. There are few girls in college who do not attend regularly. Last year the girls started a campaign for raising funds for a girls' dormitory. So en- thusiastic and forceful were their efforts that they have now nearly ten thousand dollars pledged, their goal being twenty-five thousand. Two of our girls attended the great Mission- ary Conference at Rochester, N. Y., last winter bringing back with them enthusiasm and in- terest for the coming year. It is our custom also to send several girls to the Y. W. C. A. Conference which is held regularly at Cascade, Colorado. The Association pays part cf each girl's expenses and she the rest. In this way the Young Women's Christian Association has become the most beneficial of any student organization, helping to develop every side of a girl's character and mak: ng her a power for good.

About a year ago there was a feeling sprung up among the three Young Men's Christian Associations then existing, namely, the College of Emporia Association, the Normal Asso- ciation and the Emporia High School Association, that we should be unified in our efforts and tl us make our work more effective. The only possible way that this could be brought about was by having a secretary to have supervision of the entire work. Upon the recommendation of State Secretary J. H. Dadisman, we secured Mr. Fred E. Weed, of Washburn, to be our Secretary. Mr. Weed has been with us all this year and has been a great aid in the work of the Associations. He meets with each Cabinet at their regular meetings and advises them in their plans. He spends part of every forenoon at the Y. M. C. A. room and there meets the boys in personal interview and is always ready to talk over difficulties or business or any- thing else the boys want to talk about. Mr. Weed is well liked by the boys and he has done much to assist the Associations in their work. We are very fortunate to have secured his szrvices again for the coming year. 93 Missionary Meetings. On the third Sunday of each month, the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association hold a joint missionary meeting. These meetings are led by a member of one of the Associations and the speakers are chosen from both. A Some of the countries which have been studied this year are India, Africa, China, japan, and South America. In each meeting an effort is made to give a definite idea of the condition existing in that country, to show how our missionaries are working to better those conditions, to set forth the progress already made and to emphasize the further need for men and money in each particular field. Besides this presentation of the foreign work, one or two meetings a year are devoted to Home Missions. At this time, the work among the Mormons, the Freedmen, the Indians and the Southern whites is discussed, as well as the work in Alaska and the Philippines. Likewise, at least one meeting a year is given over to the Student Volunteer Band, in order that the purpose and work of the Band may be made clear to the students. These meetings are held in Missionary Hall, on the second floor of Anderson Memorial Library. The hall has been beautifully furnished and filled with flags and curios from foreign lands by the Woman's Synodical Society of Kansas, which has also presented a missionary library of almost five hundred volumes to the College. One very interesting feature of the hall is a large map on the west wall, on which a little red flag marks every Mission station where an Emporia graduate is to be found, and letters and reports from these alumni often add a greater interest to the missionary meetings. The Volunteer Band. As do most of the other Christian colleges of the state, the College of Emporia has a Student Volunteer Band. The Band is a part of the world-wide organization of Student Volunteers who pledge their lives to do work for their Master in foreign lands. During the year the Band has met regularly every week, and some of the time has held monthly meetings to which friends were invited. The nature of these meetings has been partly religious and partly social. The Band is a potent factor in creating an enthusiastic spirit for foreign missions among the entire student body. During the past year Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Winn and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Fuson, all former members of the Volunteer Band in C. of E., have taken up work in foreign lands. Mr. and Mrs. Winn are in Korea, and Mr. and Mrs. Fuson are in educational work in China. The purpose of the organization is to develop and strengthen the purpose of its members toward going to the foreign field, and also to arouse an interest in missions throughout the school and community. There are nine members of the Band at present, and the membership will doubtless increase during the coming year. 94 T HLETICS fix 5' 40' - ,7','l?. 1 Fx . 'X 'eil-161' 31 nf- --4 1 'lf' J f- ' S.

When one considers that the season of 1910 was C. of E.'s second year of intercollegiate basketball, the record of six games out of twelve is not one to be ashamed of, by any means. The College five played all the best Colleges in the State and were the only team to beat Southwestern, who won the championship. The season's schedule was a good one and con- sisted of seven games away from home and five on the home court. Three trips were taken -one to Ottawa and William Jewell, one to Salina and Lindsborg, and a third to Wichita and Winfield. The team was managed by Curtis Hutchison, who deserves lots of credit for the way in which he took care of the team on their trips as well as home games. The team this year was composed of men of only a year's experience, and their average age was considerable less than any of the opposing teams. With one exception the regulars on this year's team were from classes below the junior year, while most of the fives with whom C. of E. contested had seniors or post-graduates composing their teams. Owing to the changes of fortune the personnel of the team changed from time to time, so that during the season seven men earned their E's. Granger, Engle and Bracken held the forwards down, as did Yeo- mans, Schabinger and Capt. Lyon, the guards, while Crumb at center played his position in every game. The thing which characterized all of C. of E's team was not lacking in the basket- ball five. They had the C. of E, spirit and never gave up, altho several times the large end of the score was against them from start to finish. There were no stars on the team this year, yet it would not be amiss to set forth the good qualities of the men who played. Gardner Lyon, otherwise known as Germany, had the hardest position on the team, that of Captain. The coaching, which includes the picking of the team, turned out to be a miserable failure, so the coach, captain and player's duties fell on his shoulders. He played a steady game all through the year, playing every game, and was the best dribbler and long shot on team. Wayne Granger, or Twist, as he is called, received his preliminary basketball education on the Phillipsburg High School team, before he came here last year and entered the Freshman class. Granger was the most tireless player on the team, always in condition, and playing his best every minute of the game. He played in every game but one, and has been unanimously chosen captain for next year's team. Clyde Crumb, commonly known as Splinter, played center and played it well. His height, which is six feet three, made him a hard man to get the tip-off from. Crumb is a good heady player and the most accurate goal-shooter on the team, and with another year's playing should have any center in the state beaten. Lawrence Engle, or Irish, on account of the sunset tint in his hair, played his first year on the college team this year. Irish plays either guard or forward and is good at either. He plays the floor as well as any one on the team, is an accurate goal-shooter and fast on his feet. Altho this is Engle's first year on the team, he made good, and we expect him to be a star for C. of E. in the years to come. Arthur Schabinger, called by the boys, Father, Qnot on account of his age, but because of his paternal feelings,J played his first year on a college basket team, and certainly made a success of it. At the beginning of the season Schabie was an unknown quantity, but it did not take him long to show that he could play harder and be after the ball more in a minute than most players can in five. Schabinger met few equals in the forwards over the state, and promises to be one of the best guards in the state next Year. Leo Bracken is a junior in college and played his second year on the basketball team. Bracken is the biggest man on the team and on account of his six two, and one hundred seventy-ive, was a hard man to guard. He is a good man to stay under the basket as he is accurate on the under goal shots, and made more of these than any one on the team. Bracken played in nine games. Edward Yeomans has played his last on a C. of E. team, as he graduates this year. Ed is known as one of the hardest-working players who ever put on a suit and has always lived up to his reputation, in every game. Yeomans was carrying heavy school work this year, so was unable to play in all but four games. Most of these players will be in school next year and ready for the year's champion team, and with the new material which is bound to come in, it would not be prophesying too much to say that next year will see C. of E. at the top in the championship race. 99 aff ME, I 3 . du' 'if Q as A :I A . my ki.

The College of Emporia Teachers' Association is composed of Alumni and former students who are engaged in teaching. The organization was launched at the State Teachers' Associa- tion meeting at Topeka in October, and these officers were elected by the C. of E. teachers present: President, Pelagius Williarnsg Vice President, Miss Pauline Sleethg Secretary- Treasurer, William I. Jones. A committe was appointed to arrange for a banquet or other social event in connection with the meeting of 1910, with the purpose of perpetuating the col- lege spirit of comradeship. The Association proposes to serve as a kind of clearing house through which alumni and former students of the college may be guided to teaching positions of the widest influence, worthy of their high ability and complete preparation. In this way the organization should be of great practical value in advancing the interests of C. of E. teachers throughout the state. To this end all of our graduates or students knowing of vacancies in positions or desiring to enter a broader field of professional work are invited to notify William I. jones, Emporia, Kansas.

In the absence of a coach our Y. M. C. A. Sec- retary, Mr. Fred Weed, has kindly given his services in coaching the team. Mr. Weed was a winner in track while in college and has done good work with the men who have been willing to train. Prof. Schaffner, also, has been on the field assisting with his helpful remarks and encouraging smiles. The track men always know that Schaff is their friend No intercollegiate have been held yet this spring and the exact strength not known.

The base ball season for 1910 has opened with the brightest of prospects. With such a coach as 0. M. Wilhite, who is recognized as one of the best in the West, the college is ex- pecting great things in base ball. The team, although for the most part composed of young and inexperienced players, has some exceptionally good material. The infield is especially strong. Captain Willis, who is playing shortstop, not only handles his team with rare ability but is classed as one of the best players the college has ever produced. At the present writing two games have been played with Hays Normal, the first being of the 'sixteen inning variety and the score four to two in favor of the college. In the second the college had to be satisfied with the small end of a five to nothing score. A complete new outfit of suits has been purchased for the team. These suits are dark gray, trimmed in red, with the C. of E. monogram. The stockings are of the standard adopted during the last year for all athletic teams, being red with a two inch white stripe. Al- together they make a very classy uniform. Below is given the schedule for the year: April 12, Hays Normal, at Hays. April 13, Hays Normal, at Hays. April 14, Salina Wesleyan, at Salina.

MIT WILHITE Coach, '10, 105 WAYNE WILLIS, Baseball Captain-Manager FRANK FONCANNON, , 1910 Football Captain 1910-Cheermaster 106 A Summary. , The general status of athletics in the College of Emporia has been better for the season of 1909-10 than ever before in her history. The teams as a whole have made better records and many more have received the benents of athletic training than in previous years. In fact, at least sixty per cent of the men of the school have tried for some team during the year. ' In looking back over the seasons of the year, we have no reason to be ashamed of the records made by the various teams. The football team, though by no means in line for the championship, played the most consistent game which has been put up by a C. of E. football aggregation for a number of years. The basketball team, the second in the history of the school, made an excellent showing and has the honor of being the only team in the state to defeat Southwestern, the state champions. The baseball team, though composed of untried men, promises to give many of the teams of the state a good run for their money before the close of the season. They are under the tutelage of Mit Wilhite, known throughout the state for his coaching abilities and general knowledge of the National game. In trackwork alone is the outlook unpromising for the year. However, the squad is composed almost entirely of underclassmen, who promise to develop into a formidable bunch in the coming seasons. C. of E. is proud of the appearance of her teams, and during the past year has out- fitted all of them in new uniforms. For the season of 1910-11, we prophesy the most successful outcome for the various teams, as they will have as a nucleus nearly all the men who have played during the past year, since only three men who have ever played on any team receive their degrees this spring. Also, we will have for the coming year a general coach of athletics who will have no other duties than those of coaching. These two factors, combined with the new material, which under the Kansas Conference Rules are eligible, promise a most successful year in all branches of athletics. 107 Qllnllege uf Emporia Ulfliartnbuup Vol. XIII.

OLIVER ATHERTON, '12 President Oratorical Association Ig-'r-X 31 BEN RICE, LEONARD FOLEY, Editor Business Manager College Life There is one thing in particular connected with old C. of E. that no one could possibly do without, and that is College Life. This is a weekly newspaper, published by the students for the purpose of bringing all those who are in any way connected with school life into close relationship with one another, and also acquaint them with its many activities. Everyone is urged to take a personal interest in the welfare of the paper, and do all they can to better it in every way. For the sake of encouraging student contributions, a lifelet box has been placed in the hall and it has proved to be a great success. In the editorials, every phase of the school work is discussed in an able manner, and by reading them the faculty, as well as the students, are led to a better understanding of their duty to the institution. Any student in applying for the editorship must have contributed enough to the paper during the previous years to credit him with sixteen College Life units, and any member of the staff is eligible, provided he was not discharged for negligence. The paper is at all times under the supervision of a faculty committee, who select the editor- in-chief and business manager, and assist in the work as much as possible. The editor has complete charge of the literary work, chosing his staff, and collecting all material for the publication, while the manager cares for the inances, collects the subscription fees, and obtains the advertisements. Every vacant hour a number of students may be seen interesting them- selves at the exchange table in the library. This department is especially strong, carrying on exchanges with all the leading colleges of the state, as well as a number outside. The institution was very fortunate in the selection of Ben Rice to edit the Life this year. At no time has there been a poor number, and at the end of every week we look forward to getting a breezy and newsy little paper. Mr. Foley's business management is also commendable, making the whole year's work a decided success and encouragement. 110 Records Established at C. of E. 1909-10.

Bracken, Lawrence, Hutchison, Sawhill, Weidrich, Marquis, Atherton. 112 The Oratorical Association. The Oratorical Association is one of two all-school organizations, any student who is a member of one of the literary societies being eligible to membership. With the exception of the Hood Prize Debate, all inter-collegiate, inter-society, and inter-class literary contests are conducted under the auspices of this association. In each school year there are four inter- society contests, the Kenyon Oratorical, the Williams Oratorical, the Bruner Declamation, and the Eckdall-McCarty Declamation, and one inter-class contest, the Freshman-Sophomore De- bate. This year there were three inter-collegiate debates conducted by the association, one with Cooper College, at Sterling, and a double debate with Southwestern College. The first literary event of the year is the Kenyon Oratorical contest, prizes of fifteen, ten, and five dollars being offered by Mr. J. S. Kenyon, of Emporia, to the winners of the contest. The winner of this contest represents the College in the annual state contest. This year the event was held on the 24th of january, and Daniel C. Lockwood proved the winner. However the contest was unusually close, Lockwood being tied by Leo Bracken on the first ranking. A recourse to grades gave Lockwood the first place by only ten points. Lester Vernon was awarded third place. Each year Mr. D. D. Williams, of Emporia, offers a prize of a gold medal to the best ora- tor in the freshman class. The contest is held on the third Tuesday in February. This year only three entered and Dan Lockwood won easily, receiving six firsts. Leverette Fitts re- ceived second honors. Prizes of ten and five dollars are offered by Captain E. P. Bruner, to the best two de- claimers, below the junior year. The contest for the present year fell on the 27th of April, and five contestants were entered, all but one of the societies being represented. Lila Zellar received first honors, and joseph Baird the second. The Eckdall-McCarty Declamation Contest is open only to students in the preparatory department, and the prize, a fine set of books, is offered by the Eckdall-McCarty book store. Last year the oratorical association instituted an annual debate between the freshman and sophomore classes, for the purpose of training new material for the inter-collegiate debates. The first of this series of debates was won by the freshmen with Elden Sawhill and Curtis Hutchison as their representatives. The first inter-collegiate debate of the year was held with Cooper College, at Sterling, on the 4th of March. The representatives of the College were Ray Braden and Ben Rice. The debate was hotly contested and ended in a two to one desision in favor of Cooper. The question debated was: Resolved, That there should be a Federal progressive inheritance tax. Emporia upheld the affirmative. The next and last inter-collegiate contest was a double debate with Southwestern College. Both debates were held on the 22nd of April, Leo Bracken, Curtis Hutchison, and Elden Saw- hill upheld the affirmative of the question, Shall the Inter-State Commerce Corporations be placed wholly under United States Government Control? in Emporia, and Oliver Atherton, Robert Marquis, and Walter Lawrence defended the negative of the same question at Winfield. Both debates were good but Emporia lost through lack of preparation, Southwestern receiving all six decisions. The work of the oratorical association is of the most vital importance to the college. Students can get the theory of public speaking and debate in the class room but through the association they are enabled to get the practical experience. The many contests that are held afford an opportunity for anyone to get this practical experience who cares to do so. 113 DANIEL C. LOCKWOOD Representative of C. of E., Wichita State Oratorical Contest. Daniel C. Lockwood, a freshman, represented the College of Emporia in the State Orator- ical Contest, held at Wichita on the 11th of March. The contest this year was an unusually strong one and each of the nine colleges that entered felt confident that their man would at least stand high in the final ranking. Although this was Mr. L0ckwood's first year in ora- tory, he proved his worth in the Kenyon and Williams Contests and the Emporia delegation felt sure that he would do credit to the school. Mr. Lockwood was at his best in the contest and delivered his oration, Freedom's Slavery, in grand style. The judges gave him a 7, 2, and 3 in delivery, and a 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8 in thought and composition.. This gave him third' place, Washburn receiving second and Ottawa first. Mr. Lockwood is a deep thinker and a natural orator and the College of Emporia feels confident that he will be an easy winner at the next contest. 114 WEL TR LKSVAHVUHWAW-Avwfwg Campus Day. i They say there is a time for work and a time for play, but campus day is a happy combination. March 18 was the eventful day, and in accordance with this fact, the preceding day Professor Schaffner made an Announcement The Seniors and juniors were to burn off and clean up the campus. The Sophomores were to bring rakes, hoes, wheelbarrows, and over- alls and thus be prepared to fix up the Athletic grounds. The Fresh- men were to be likewise equipped Qwith the addition of hammers, for any knocking that needed to be donel, for cleaning up the Library campus and fixing the cinder walks. The Academy Students, ever under the charge of Orville T. would care for the green things, fshowing their remarkable acquaintance with the samej. Each squad was watched over closely by several members of the faculty, and thus no chance was given to call time out. As the weather was doubtful it was necessary to wait until morn- ing to fully decide whether it would be suitable for campus day. The bell ringing at intervals would assure the students of the fact. Everyone must be present, as Professors Carr, Wilson and Browcr would be on deck with their beloved yellow slips. The sun announced the eventful day before the old clapper in Stuart Hall had a chance, and eight thirty found many students ready and anxious for work. The Preps, were 'fright there, as they did not relish the thots of lingering under their newly planted lilac bushes to learn another ten lines of Shakespeare. And the Sophs and Juniors were there too, mindful of their long absence in Wichita. When the girls arrived at noon it was plainly evident to them that many hands make light work and vast improvements. Everything was a delight to the eye, save the lilac walk, with its massive, boulder-like cinders. This the Freshmen had very dutifully fixed, showing typical non co-ed skill, no doubt the result of consistent training, not only under President Culbertson's advice but even without Pie, Booze, or Girls. Again many fair hands made light work and the English room assumed the appearance of Brown's Cafe enlarged. Soon a wholesome bill of fare was handed out through the window to the workers. Sandwiches, baked beans, pickles, ginger bread, boiled eggs, oranges and coffee, disappeared rapidly not- withstanding a luncheon had been served under other supervision earlier in the morning. The only sad event of the day was the fact that the two Sophomore Johns became so engrossed in their athletic labors as not to hear the dinner bell, and as a result John S. suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism. 116 Kodaks were as busy after dinner as before and every one was shot more or less. The Carr Chemistry quartette were indeed thankful for their soul-stirring voices as several songs given at this time saved them from completely wearing themselves out. While the girls and Faculty ladies washed the paper plates, the boys finished their work outside, until a baseball game put the finishing touches to Campus Day. 'Nuna- 117 From the German Class Room.
