F gf ,t,,,, f. summer day brought him a wonderful X 'dl g 5 in M! V vision. He saw a long hall, shadowed ,w ww ll fall 9 - by ancient oaks. In it a multitude of v If n 4, A' l ' , , nm' 5 ' Q' - people had assembled to do honor to one A ' ' 1 I T ' who stood before a reverend judge, re' ceiving insignia of glory. The youth pressed closer to get a better view of the hero, and lo! it was Mmsew He could not forget the vision, and not many days thereafter, betook himself to the Kingis palace, that as a knight, he might seek the fore- shadowed honor. The King was pleased with the stripling, dubbed him knight and said: NGO forth, fair youth, upon your quest. Be brave, true and courteous. Take the road to the eastward, and travel four times thrice three moons, then will your vision be fulfilled. U I2 JUNIOR CLASS . After receiving a horse, and a shield bearing the mysterious device, '99, U. of W., the youth departed. The path led uphill, and the scenery, though beautiful, was beginning to grow monotonous, when a hostile knight charged suddenly upon the young traveller. He met the shock of battle with such strength and skill, that his adversary fell before him. Wearied with the conflict, he fell asleep by the roadside, and again saw the vision, the same as before except that now, a marble tablet, inscribed with his name, and surrounded by a golden halo, gleamed down from the wall. Re- freshed in spirit, he pursued his journey on foot, for his noble steed had strayed away while he slept, and never was seen again. Thrice three moons soon sped away, and the first period of the journey was ended. Now adventures began to thicken round the young knight. His way led through a dark forest, wherein prowled evil beasts, ellipses, parabolas, differentials, and many another monster! When these creatures gathered around him, the youth was about to do battle with them, but he heard a voice sighing amid the the tree-tops, Desist, fair boy, and flee. I am the shade of one who once entered upon that fruitless conflict. Be- wareln The instinct of self-preservation took hold mightly upon the youth, and he made good his escape, never pausing till he emerged from the forest. While he sought a resting-place for the night, he went into a cave. Near the entrance was a prodigious heap of broken test-tubes and retorts, and the interior was a grewsome place, filled with vile odors, and resound- ing with terriiic explosions. The youth refused to tarry there, though the Guardian Genius of the place tore his golden locks in frenzied entreaty. Instead, he spent the night beneath the pale stars, and next morning, about sunrise, he perceived a queer little person seated on a neighbor- ing boulder. He was dressed all in brilliant orange, and though he jumped nimbly down from his seat, he limped a trifle as he crossed the road. A word with you, valiant knight, said he, 'll am called The Class Syiiriit, and it is my office to bestow upon every deserving knight a helmet to match his ff? f MQ Abs W 'X 6 Q?

He held out an acorn cup, and the youth took it, marvelling, when lo! it expanded in his hand, its shape and color changed, and presently it Was a square black hemlet, with a Waving yellow plume. The sprite attended him to the end of the second stage of his journey, and then they parted for a little season, after the kindly little creature had pointed out the steep, cold hills of Logic, above Which tower the lofty peaks of Theology and Ethics. There lies your Way, quoth lie, lTis Well you are on foot, for they tell me that after one has breathed the pure air on Mt. Ethics, he never mounts a horse again. The youth began the ascent, the sprite gazed after him, shading his one eye with his hand, and said, Many a noble youth have I seen pass this Way, but never one with so fair a face, so sound a mind, and so stout a heart.

They are seniors and are wise, The are lauded to the skies, Y If you like to smother lies, ' This ninety-eight. This class has made a record We are sorry this is thus, Here at college, Dear ninety-eightg And incidentl f have imbibed But in truth, we like to cuss 3 Some knowledge. You, ninety-eight. But the record's ver slow Thouffh you never did us harm, Y 1 1: And the knowledge mighty low We could never see your charm For a senior class to show, So pack up for the farm, When at College. A ' ,In ninety-eight. 'll' 'll' E Yes, ninety-eight will leave us this year. They will pull up the stakes of their college Wigwam and fly f or wa-lkj toe the Lord only knows where. Doubtless being thus thrown violently against the world's indifference 16 SENIOR CLASS to talent,'l and not appreciating, as they should, the cold shoulder after their successful CPD tour in this vale of bliss, will proceed to reform the world, this having been done to their content, the world will proceed to reform them. This class has indeed been a most interesting one. I have watched it carefully from its early Prep. history to its present stage of development, and the only parallel case of development I have been able to find, is that of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. But we ind that in this class's make up, as in the Theory of Darwin, there is a missing link, and as with Darwin, we have been unable to discover the missing link. Our special correspondent for Psychical Research, Mr. Saybolt, has lately made a discovery. He succeeded in hypnotizing a representative member of the class, a certain Mr. C--, who admitted that virtually he was '98, Below is the result of a careful analysis of his mind: Acquisitiveness + 45 Power to acquire - 67 Originality - 20 Social ability + 13 Egotism -l- 6215 Leading ability - 335 + 1205 - 1205 1203 minus 12045 leaves plus zero, showing that the class actually has no intelligence at all. Nevertheless hypnotism is not always infallible, and I admit that some remarkable human traits are concealed under their classic caps and gowns. Have you ever seen Mr. F--l come into Sunday chapel late and cast hasty looks about for a seat, then as a last resort proceed to the faculty row where, ' They sit together in the pew, And worship God as lovers clog God gets one thought and love gets twof I only mention the above circumstance as the two are in such a Peace- ful bliss and Johnsonian independence, that they will not mind. I7 But what is the use of ranting against ,98. We know them well. We have seen thern on the athletic field, in the class-roorn, at Dorm receptions, and a few of us at their banquets. It is a '98 trick to kick a man when he is down, so let us refrain from that same trick. We bear you no ill will, Oh! thou senior class, loelovedxby Prexie. And now you will leave usg you will unwrap the drapery of your classic gowns from about you, and go forth to fields unknown. We rejoice with you and are exceeding glad. Go forth and make such a record in the world as you have at your Alina Mater, and some day people will call you-call you-I don't know just what, but no doubt they will call you something. 8 Senior Clase Roll.

It was in September, and at that prosaic time of day when the sun has reached his zenithg when the Sun-God turns from regretting the peaceful shades left behind him, to hasten down to the promised asylum below the West. So the God ' ' of this epic turned his back on the past, and looked to see what lay before him in the future. One of his friends met him at the station. Therewas a clasping of hands, and then a wandering look of surprise in his eyes. The friend understood, and observed, I guess they don't know you, Algyf' The Divinity frowned, By Jove, Iill tell them, don't you know. Then came his first dash of cold waterg Don't. It might queer you. An ordinary, third-rate sort of god, to come thus unheralded. Well, perhaps. But gods work in climaxes. Wait for the ,close of the chapter.- 63 20 SOPHOMORE CLASS Soon he was all things to all menf, His goings-out and comings-in were not apparently different from those of others, though it might be noticed that his goings-out were rather frequent. And indeed his comings- in were just as numerous. He found an earthly mother on the hill, and occasionally went to reci- tations. He learned to eat the same food and to bluff at the same studies that mortals eat and bluff at. Grassy plots dotted his way after him as he strolled upwards, but at meal times these verdant patches of vegetation were crushed to death by his Attila-like rush downward. He became an athlete. His prowess made his college famous among colleges. He felt that it was a privilege to be allowed in a measure to repay his alma mater for the good things he had received from her, by adding something to her glory. He often joined in the other innocent amusem ents of the people among whom he had come to dwell. At the hops he could always be seen gallantly plucking wall-flowers. The Opera House attracted him. Not seldom he visited in his imagination the lovely Isle of Champagne, or one of our own summer resorts on the fair New Jersey coast. And for many nights there- after-it is rumored,-when Morpheus sent messengers to sooth him, his imagination all unbidden, revisited those same scenes. Not only did he afiiliate with man, but just as graciously with mans complement. Often the female annex swallowed him up, a willing Jonah. During his iirst year, his visits were divided with impartiality. But this is an age of specializing, and he soon followed the tendency of his age. The end is not yet. You must learn the rest at some other time, and from some other and worthier pen. He came into the life of the U. in 1893g there was a World's Exposition to celebrate his coming. He will go out into a still broader, if less pleasant life in 19003 and then there will be another Worlds Exposition, and a new century will be introduced for his use. gases Ophomoregd Claes Roll.

As we glanced around us at our environments and those who were fated to be our classmates and associates, we felt that at last the acme of happiness had been found. On every side were faces beaming with health, beauty, youth, and intelligence. Especially youth'-it is a characteristic of Freshman classes. This brings us to the opening lecture. Doctor Scovel spoke for a short time in his usually brief and terse manner upon things in general, and college education in particular. We went away feeling that the Doctor was a man of immense learning and endurance. irVe were impressed by the sense of his greatness intellectually, and of our own general worthlessness. The latter impression soon wears off, however. The next day we started in upon our duties as students with a zest and eagerness that quite startled the Profs.. accustomed as they were, to iatlioming the gloomy abyss of the Soph. mind. This remarkable zeal pre- dicts a great future for the glorious class 'Ol. A lfew days after this. we were hospitably entertained by our genial President. and we had the much sought for opportunity of meeting our 23 classmates. AFreshman of three or four days standing is rather timid and shy. He seems to have a decided anthipathy to standing without some means of support, either the wall or some piece of furniture. He also is extremely self-conscious and seems to think he has too many hands. This uncomfortable state of affairs is aggravated by a certain nervous politeness that doubtless is the result of Prof. Kirkwoodsiifty-five minute lectures. Under his tuition our class will, in time, emerge from barbarism and attain a high degree of culture and civilization. This brings us to foot-ball. Our record is most enviable. Our aim was not to strive after distinction in the line of broken shoulders and noses, but rather, to play inoffensive, intellectual foot-ball. In this we flatter our- selves that we have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expectations. We defy the school to produce a man who can buck with the terrible ferocity of a Snyder. In looking over the Freshman row in Chapel, we cannot restrain our admiration. In the front row we see the haughty and impassive features of President Bailey, whose thrilling and terrible eloquence, on the night of his nomination, proclaimed the advent upon the political stage of a man whose towering intellect and imperious will was to dominate and determine the career of a great party. Farther back we see our orators, Demosthenes Corbett, and Cicero Cfebhart. Then we have Mr. Frame, who is a prodigy of learning. In the course of time, it is hoped, he will grow into his voice. Farther back is Mr. Doty, one of our intellectual lights, who has the brighest head in the class. Then we see the calm and serene countenances of Damon McCloskey and Pythias Pugh. In the next rows we see the beaming faces of Miss Pomeroy and Miss Arbaugh, who endeavored to reach distinction through the Dorm. windows, and Miss Ewing, whose tones are soft and dulcet as those of a Spanish Senorita. God speed the class of 1901 upon its careerg may the years which lie before her be filled with happiness and contentment, and when she has reached the goal may she, like the sun, gilding with splendor that which is past, flooding with light that which the mists and obscurity of the future now conceal, may she then depart gloriously and go out into the world to meet life's trials with fortitude and iight lifeis battles with heroism. 4 FRESHMAN CLASS freshman Claes Roll.

GRAN All - AIAA hm R 25 'b 3 JH' ' v reparat r . .Z QfffN Y MY DEAR MOTHER: I'm a Prep, isn't that glorious, a Junior Prep. atthe great U. of W. After you left me on the train I got on ine, I bought some chew- ing gum, and had lots of fun. At last we reached Wooster, and my, but it's a big place, most as big as New York I guess, it haslnt any street-ears, but some fine tally hos instead. Well, some awfully nice men met me at the station and all of them wanted me to ride in their cabs, wasn't that kind of them? I spose they knew I had left all of my folks behind. I just got into the nearest one, and when I got to the U. the horrid driver asked me for a quarter! As soon as I could see straight, I climbed up the marble steps, and my me but I felt big! A whole lot of folks were going into a big room and I went along too. A fellow met me at the door, and asked if I came from Holmes Co., as I looked sort as if I belonged there. I said HNo Sir., but my home is at Honeybrookf' and he said it was all the same. A big man, whom this fellow said was Professor Dickason, was writing at the table, and my new friend, who told me his name was Sleinmons, said Id have to wait awhile. This Slemnions didn't have any culfs or collars on, sort of bother anyhow-but was real nice and told all about everybody. He said there was felow called Rickerts who laughed at everything, they 37 called him Cheshire Cat, I wonder why not 'fTabby. Then there's one called I-Iulf. He is as bald as Grandpa, I wonder why he comes to school. A girl came in next, and my but her hair was fixed funny, it looked like that little waterfall back of our house. Her name's Abbiloni Haliotus. Then came a boy and girl together, and Slemmons guessed they were Hervey and Marilla. They looked as if they sort of belonged to each other. An awful slow boy called Benny came in, then another one reglar city dude you told me about, and he had a girl with him,real nice one. He called her Adah. .I wonder if they're brother and sister. I saw another boy, right good look- ing, but awfully solomncholy, guess his name is Hills. His friend's got a grand sounding name Horatis Alford, most as good as George Washington. Then there was Gebhart, the mighty crater, looked as if he Were awfully stuck-up, McConnell the beautiful scribe, Gold-medalledv Gravatt, Neptune the Hseaemonsterff and a whole lot of others, I haven't time to write about. Then Slemmons told me about the tablet the Preps. got playing base ball. They had a grand blow-out over it, and lots of things to eat afterwards. I saw the Dutch professor next, Slemmens said his pipes almost burst once, and he was seven minutes late, cause he had to wash his hands. .He hates cuts like poison. . I forgot to ask my friend what cuts were, but expect I'll know before long. Then I looked out of the window, and saw the grandest sort of black stairs. Slemmons said they called them ire-escapes. Some boys and girls got out on it one day and got a moral blot on their characters that can never be effacedf' Is'nt that a fine sentence. I remembered it word for word. By and by Professor Dicka- son called me over, and was real nice to me. He has the cutest curl on his forehead, just like Baby Ruth's. He said I could be a Prep. Please send me some doughnuts right soon. I'm not a bit homesick. Wish I could see you all though. Good-by, Your loving son. Preparatory Clase Roll. JOSEPI-I BARNARD ATKINSON. HORATIO ALFRED. BROWN.

Alpha Lambda, l' being the oldest both locally and nationally of the fra- ternities at Wooster, has a long alumni list, among which are some of Woosteris most successful and noted men. Such men as G. Frank Carpen- ter, ,77, one of America's well known newspaper correspondents, Rush Taggart, '71, of New York, the great lawyerg Ross Boyd, '78, president of Oklahoma College, and J. Calvin Hanna, '81, principal of Columbus High School and General Secretary of Beta Theta Pi. Besides many others Whose names are as well known are an honor to the institution and to the fraternity. Almost sixty years have elapsed since Beta Theta Pi was founded at Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio. Since then, in 1839, it has gradually but steadily grown until its position as one of our great national fraternities has been firmly established. The Wooster chapter, Alpha Lambda of Beta Theta Pi, was the twenty-eighth in the series of extension, the charter being granted May 12, 1872, to seven young men. The charter members are as follows: J. Wallace Cummins, Wm. Rush Taggart, R. R. Carpenter, C. H. Purmost, A. T. Robertson, Frank Taggart, ' Daniel Butteriield. Alpha Lambda, from the time of her establishment to the present date, has held a place of honor among the local chapters, as much as Beta Theta Pi has among the national fraternities. Although the numbers of Alpha Lambda have always been small, scarcely ever exceeding fifteen or sixteen members, yet she has always succeeded in obtaining her 'members from the best, whether intellectually, socially, or athletically. 3 BETA THETA PI Beta 'Chefa Pi.

HE charter for the Delta chapter of Phi Delta Theta. at Wooster, was issued February 24, 1872, to Perry Stearns Allen l74g Robert McClelland '7-lg Edgar M. Wilson '74, and Albert Zachariah Mc- , Gogney '75, and designated it as the Ohio Zeta chapter. In that Q S year, when the membership was of a goodly number, some di- ! X vision arose in the ranks of the members that led to the expulsion of one member and the withdrawal of perhaps one or two others. The result was that the chapter became quiescent for a period of a few months. The chapter was not entirely inactive, however, and the work of putting it on its feet again was undertaken by Robert Cathrone Walker '85, New York. In May 1881, he together with Joseph White Criswell '85, initiated eight new members, and the chapter again became an active factor in the affairs of Wooster. From this time on the chapter continued an unbroken existence until the suspension of its charter in November, 1897, this step having been deemed necessary by the diminishing amount of material available in the college department of the University. Up to the time of its charter sus- pension, the charter had initiated a total of 153 men. That its career has been highly prosperous and honorable, one has only to consult the names of those who were on the chapter roll to have this most satisfactorily proven. Of the founders of this chapter, Allen is aPresbyterian minister at Saratoga Springs, New York, McClelland is attorney at law in Indianapolis, Indiana, Wilson, an attorney at law in San Francisco, California, and lVIcGogney, a minister at Peoria, Illinois. Among other well known names is that of of P. W. Search, Supt. of Public Schools at Holyoke, Mass., who has written more songs of Phi Delta Theta than any other member of the fraternity, and who edited its first song book in 1876. His songs remain to this day among the most popular of the fraternity. From 1873 to 1878, ours was the Grand National Chapter of the fra- ternity, having succeeded in this important government office of the fra- ternity the parent chapter at Miami and Indiana, Centre and Chicago. General conventions of the fraternity, which are held bi-annually, that of 1878 was held at Wooster. The same Chapter was existing in 1880. 34 PHI DELTA THETA Phi Delta Chefa.

APPA Alpha Theta was founded at De Pauw University, Green Castle, Indiana, January 27, 1870, being the iirst Greek letter society organized by, and for, women. There are now twenty-one . active and five alum ni chapters. Q S The government of the fraternity is vested in a Grand J X Council of eight members elected at Biennial Conventions' The fraternity publications are the Kappa Alpha Theta Journal, a catalogue, and a song-book. A new and elaborate edition of the song-book has been in course of prepartion during the past year. The badge is kite-shaped, the colors black and gold, and the fraternity flower, the black pansy with a yellow centre. Epsilon Chapter was established at the University of Wooster, June, 1876, with four charter members 3 Mary Parsons, Ada Mullins, Kate Mc- Sweeney and Susan Given, The membership has since increased to one hundred and thirty members. Being the iirst ladies' fraternity established in Wooste1', it has ever been an enthusiastic and prosperous worker in fra- ternity circles. It .has never been reduced in members nor in strength since its organization. The chapter has twice had the honor of entertain- ing the National Convention, in 1881 and 1886. Miss Harriet Funck, '91, held the office of Grand President from 1895-97. Many members of this chapter are taking their places as educators and filling other positions of honor and trust. Among those who are winning a reputation for them- selves in the world of letters, may be mentioned Mrs. Helen Watterson Moody, who has been a regular contributor to the New York Evening Sun and Scribner's Magazine, as well as writing occasionally for The Forum, Harper and Cosmopolitan. Miss Mary Henderson, Lurannus Robertson, Mae Pepper and Mrs. Florence Johnson Higbee, may be also men- tioned as bringing especial honor upon their Alma Mater by their splendid literary efforts. The history of the chapter has been one of pro- gress, and the outlook for the future one of great encouragement. - 36 KAPPA ALPHA THETA Kappa Hlpba Cbeta. Resident Membzrs. MRS.

AMMA Chapter of Kappa- Kappa Gamma was established at Wooster University, Wooster, Ohio, May 15th, 1876, being the tenth chapter of the fraternity to receive a charter and the . second to bear the name of Gamma, at Smithson College, Logans- 6 S port, Indiana, having resigned its charter the year previous. ! X In 1890, Beta was prefixed to the name of the chapter. Beta Gamma which was established by the chapterlat Bloom- ington, Indiana, had six charter members-Kittie A. Parsons, Mima J. Scott, Carrie Siegenthaler, Jennie Donnelly, Ella Alexander and Ida C. Bowman. ' The lack of important events to chronicle which assails the historian argues the happiness of the chapter's history, which has indeed been harmonious and prosperous. during its twenty-two years of existence. Always ranking among the strong chapters of the fraternity Beta Gamma has been twice called upon to furnish members for the Grand Council. Kittie A. Parsons as' Grand Treasurer 1882-1884. Gertrude Robinson as Grand Marshall 1892-1894. After being for many years without a fixed abiding place, fraternity meetings being held at the homes of the members, the growing needs of the chapter resulted in securing special rooms, where since 1892 have dwelt the Lares and Penates of Beta Gamma. The total membership of the chapter is one hundred and fifty, all but three of whom are living. Among the well known names on the chapter roll are-Mrs. Ella Alexander Boole, iirst Vice President of the W. C. T. U. of New York State, and national Secretary of the Y. W. C. T. U. Florida B. Parsons, who after several years' study in Germany, returned to the States in 1895 and has already won prominence by her musical success. Mrs. Della McCorth Palmer, President of the Occidental Board of Missions. At the fourteenth National Convention to be held at Lincoln, Nebraska, August, 1898, Beta Gamma will be represented by Myrtle E. Fraser of the class of 1900. 38 KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Through its government, the fraternity's forty-three active chapters are divided into twelve sections, in addition to , these we have eleven alumni chapters, making a total member- ? ship of over eight thousand and ive hundred, Our controlling ! X power being vested in a general convention, the government of Phi Gamma Delta is both democratic and conservative. Phi Deuteron Chapter.,in Wooster University, May 6th, 1882, has always been noted for its adherence to the fraternity policy. It per- mits no chapter autocracy, but assures equal rights and honor to all active members. Our position in the school has always been dignified, and our relation to other collegiate circles exceedingly pleasant. It is our especial pride that at all times one-half of our membership is local. At the first our standard of membership was placed high, and we have maintained the standard. Phi Gamma Delta has always made itself felt in every sphere of college life, and has endeavored to show a liberal spirit toward all classes. In common with other chapters, we have met reverses, but our honors have been many. Our position in the literary field is too well known to need mention. For four successive years, members of this chapter repre- sented the University in the state, and their victories brought Wooster much honor. At no time has our membership exceeded nineteen, including pledged men, as the power of any organization is simply an aggregate of the powers of its members, it has been our care to demand a high individual standard, and from this we shall not depart. Our past has been glorious, our present is enviable, and our future assured. And if it happens that the character of the student body shall so change, as to make the maintenance of our present standard impossible, it will be our purpose to surrender our charter, and retire, full of honor and good works. 4 PHI GAMMA DELTA Phi Gamma Delta. 1 Resident Members.

J. Shives, at that time Professor at Heidelberg University, Tiffin, and was composed of Prof. Boyd, and seven students. As is usual when a new chapter is started in the midst of older established chapters, its first years during which the chapter never numbered more than ten men, were years in which the zeal and interest of its founders and those who had allied themselves to them, were tested to the full. But with the opening of the year 1892, the star of the Beta Mu seemed to be on the ascendant. At that time on account of anti-fraternity laws at Heidelberg University, eighteen men came to Wooster, and of these on Jan. 25, 1892, twelve men wore the Alpha Tau Omega colors, and the future before the chapter appeared bright. But the days of probation were not yet passed, and in the Fall of l93, out of a chapter of eighteen the previous year, only two returned at the opening lecture, and the general belief was, that the days of the Alpha Tau Omega were over in cur University. But to Howard G. Jones our second founder is due the honor of keeping Beta Mu in her place among Wooster chaptersj 'With difficulties to overcome such as almost no other man would have striven to surmount, he set to work, and at the opening reception ap- peared with two new men in the colors of Alpha Tau Omega. From that time her growth has been steady and rapid, and almost with a bound she took the place she now occupies among Wooster chapters. Since its foundation, Beta Mu has enrolled over 75 men, of whom 33 have graduated. It has ever kept in mind the high ideal with which it was founded, and in its relations to the general fraternity, to the other chapters in Wooster and to the whole student body it has endeavored to maintain an attitude worthy of its ideal. 4 ALPHA TAU OMEGA Hlpha 'Cau Omega.

U Alpha Phi is an inter-fraternity organization, founded in 1896. A The University of Wooster boasts of having given birth to this progressive and popular fraternity. Although conservatism is the watch-Word of its members, the growth of the fraternity has been rapid. This fact is gratifying in the extrem e, as it points toward the Widening of the fraternity ideal toward the outstretched hand of friendship for the sister in the other circle, rather than the sneer of contempt for the member of the opposing fraternity. The pin of the organization is a Roman gold Witches head with a pointed cap, having a snake coiled around the neck. The cap bears the Greek letters M A 41. The eyes of the Witch and snake are of jewels. The national colors are black and White. Alpha chapter colors, garnet and green. Members. 5 1898. LUCY MARGAICET Ross. MARY ELLIOTT. ' DAISY ELMA GRAY.

D., Whose Wide reputation and long experience made probable the success With Which his genius and geniality crowned the enterprise. All departments of musical culture have been undertaken and successfully prosecuted. The aim of the School is not merely to teach music as an ornamental accomplishment, but as a means for general culture, and as a part of a com- plete education. As the course of study in our Colleges and Universities provides not so much for special attainment in any one branch of intellectual activity, but rather demands the persuit of many varied studies simultane- ously, in order to secure to the student a broad basis of intellectual develop- ment for future activity and power, so our School of Music furnishes abun- dant means through its own resources and those of the University for the fuller attainment of a symmetrical development of the intellectual, musical and spiritual activities. President Fairchild very truly Writes that, The neighborhood of a university of general education, and especially of Ghristian education, and of co-education, is the natural place for a school of music. lt is the desirable place to train those who shall go out as leaders of choirs ond organists in the churches, and teachers of music in its various forms. Such is the relation of our school to the university, which accounts, to some degree, at least, for its ever increasing success in all its Work. . The present year has in every respect been the most prosperous in the history of the department. 56 COLLEGE CHORISTERS Che College Cborietere. N the Autumn of 1892, the Thursday Club was studying Germany during the Sixteenth Century. An open. meeting Was to be held at the hospitable and artistic home of Mrs. C. W. Kauke, at which Miss Gingrich was to read apaper on 'fLuther and his Work. It was thought that if a few of Luther's famous chomlcs could be sung with German Words, the entertainment would be unique. Accordingly, Prof. Oliver was consulted, who selected for this purpose a chorus chiefly from the German Classes. The singing of this chorus was received with much favor. The rehearsals Were so much enjoyed by the students, that permanent organization for the singing of part songs and college songs was suggested, and acted upong Prof. Oliver being chosen con- ductor, and Mr. Carey E. McAfee, pianist. Then came the desire and nel cessity for a distinctive name. To Miss Bess Park is due the honor of having suggested the magic name, The College Choristersf' which was adopted unanimously. The Choristers made their clcbut in April, 1896, with a concert in the Cpera House, with Mrs. Thelen as soloist. This concert was a brilliant success artistically, socially, and financially. During this season several engagements were accepted in the neighboring towns, on all which occasions their appearance created most favorable impressions. All this furnished an incentive to achieve still greater successes the next year. The second season, 1896-7, characterized by increased interest and more thorough Work, resulted in many calls for selections from the severely classic to the brightest college songs for public and private entertainments.

Much energy and enthusiasm were thrown into the Weekly rehearsals when Ha-yden's f'Creat'ion Was decided upon for study. The public performance of this classic Work was given in 1887. The Work of the Chorus has been continued without interruption ever since, a classic oratorio being given during commencement Week of each year, and for the past four years an extra oratorio or a cantata has been given sometime during the collegiate term. Since 1893 the chorus has been accompanied by orchestra, which has added much to the effectiveness and brilliancy of the performances. ' In 1888 was given I-Iandel's 'kludas Maccabeusf' in 1889, Handel's HMessiahg in 1890, Mendelssohn's Elijah Qin partgj in 1892, Spohr's 4'Last Judgment, in 1893, Handel's Messiahf' in 1894, Gounod's Mors et Vita, in 1895, Handel's Messiah, and Mendelssohnls Lobgesangg in 1896, Messiah and Hayden's Creation, in 1897, Gaul's Holy Cityu and Handel's Judas Maccabeusf' For this year had been planned Rossini's Stabat Mater, but on account of unavoidable disappointments regarding soloists, the performance is postponed until next term. During commence- ment week will be given, with orchestral accompaniment, Gounods Re- doinptionf' Many Well known soloists have assisted in the performances of the above great works. SJ MARY EDDY.

The party of Jefferson and Jack- son, Cleveland and Gebhart, having for years been forced to look helplessly upon the thorn-Crowned brow of honest and defenseless . labor, fresh from the scene of nian's ignominious crucifixion upon 6 S a cross of beaten and despised gold from Republican mines, met- ! X met to name a standard bearer, a leader, a Saviour. Republican monopolies had been trampling, with spiked heel, upon the neck of outraged labor. All was anxiety-all was excitement. The chairman of the National Committee called the meeting to order. With great unanimity, Mr. Woodward was elected temporary chairman. Until the permanent chairman, Hon. John McSweeney took the chair, Mr. Woodward presided gracefully, Mr. McSWeeney in his eloquently patriotic address predicted a Democratic killing from the poker tables of New York to the fare banks of Texas. The Convention heard committee reports. Unlimited funds were re- ported in the hands of the party. The silver faction had subscribed seven- teen barrels of money, while the copper faction had fortyvone pony kegs in their special train. The chairman of the Coin mittee on Rules said he had no report to oller, but that the committee desired to reconiinond that the Holflvn lfulv be the only rule of the Convention. The coininittee was short, and no new one appointed. The Ceininittee on Resolutions advised that the Convention declare itself in favor of the coinage of copper at the ratio of 25 to l. Here thc- ellusive Mr. .larvis arose and with hriny tears in his voice protested. His fig surcharged brain played through his mouth as a nozzle upon the Democrats in council there assembled. After a few vain attempts to express his grief, mortiiication, surprise, indigination, and unspeakable honorf' Mr. Jarvis ceased diagnosing his feelings. Then Mr. Saybolt spoke in his usual dignined and self-satisfied manner upon the issue. Copper will not do. If the brethren believe it not, then Mr. Saybolt lifted his 16 to 1 golden head amid the reverential hush about him, Hif the brethren believe it not-ask me? A wave of approval completely submerged the audience of brethren and awed hearers, and Mr. Saybolt sat down amid his colleagues and a few copper tacks. Then the great-statesman of the emancipatend race, Mr. Brinkerhotf arose. These were times that tried men's color, for an instant, Mr. Brink- erhoff looked pale, but his customary fast color returned upon another ap- plication. He said right smart in favor of copper. The resolutions carried. The minority prepared to bolt, but realized there was no Way of re-entrance, and some of them came for speeches later in the evening. Now came the nominations. Mr. Gebhart arose and took the iioor from the chairman. I Starting his mouth, he begged it to proceed at its own ter- riiic rate of speed, while he devoted all his attention to the movements of arms and legs, not failing meanwhile to regulate theueffective shakings of his head. He was enthusiasm on a hot griddle. The gloriously, unseliishly patriotic Sanborn alone could save the party. Mr. Mclntire nominated Mr. Kuder. After an extended tour among the starry constellations, Mr. Mclntire slid gracefully back to earth and spoke of Mr. Kuder as the broadest man in politics. Although much surprise was evidenced to see so good a man in politics, as no one really wished Mr. Kuder to become contaminated Qfor the best things are the most easily spoiledj, Mr. Mclntireis efforts elicited vociferous and continued applause. Adelbert P. Higley proposed the name of I-Ion. Joseph Traveller Glenn. Mr. Higley showed in a surprising manner how a few well chosen words may make even a great man a great deal greater. N o one had ever thought of Mr. Higley's adjectives in connection with Mr. Glenn. Not by accident, the oratorical effort of the evening came last. Mr. Woodward realized the full importance of the campaign. Tears came into 64 his eyes as he vowed unfailing devotion to his party. ffllhere is a division of opinion as to this moisture. Some say it was perspiration 5 others, tears. We give Mr. W. the benefit of the doubt.-The Editowzj Without the night wind howled in sympathy, the poor sick Birdie of Dr. Bennett's moaned mournfullyg the next day the Janitor found a grindstone in the basement wet with tears wrung from its own hearty but within, all was calm. A smile of suppressed amusement was visible on the faces of Woodward's hearers. Mr. Bailey was his candidate. The Hon. Mr. Bailey was elected. fProf. Bennett is said to have lost heavily on Kuderj In-the mild and decorous manner that he always made Mr. Bailey a favorite, he thanked the convention and predicted victory. For vice president the Convention nominated Mr. Samuel T. Brown after three ballots. Mr. Moorehouse made the only speech there was time for at this hour. For twenty-live minutes he talked in his usual uninterest- ing manner. He said nothing but words-words-words. No one listened to them. After a little routine business the Convention adjourned, confident that free copper, free whiskey, free athletics, and free thought would win the day for Bailey, and Brown, and Democracy. 4 l Che College Zllidow. When I kissed her good-bye-Oh, that multiple kiss! I swore to be true. And we saw in the future a limitless bliss P That is given to few. So sweetly she clung, with her head on my breast And a tear in her eye, That I thought above all other men I was blessed, When I kissed her good-bye. When we parted at last, and I left the dear little thing In an ecstasy sweet. I was to labor for honor and fortune, and bring Them to throw at her feetg Her infinite sweetness invaded my life With a rapturous past, And I thought that I surely would make her my wife When we parted at last. She swore to be mine, to my father I said, And I told him her name, But he laughed in a way I thought very ill bred - I thought it a shameg That same little spoon, said he, Hmade me her fool Back in seventy-nine, Don't tell your mamma-but when I left school, She swore to be mme. 66 Kudmfe Coast. ENTLEMEN, friends and fellow co-eds, coadjutors in our common meal, and countrymen of the sophomore agricultural society of Wooster University, Greetings to you one and all! Inspired by . the lives and works of such poets as, Bacon, Caesar and Washing- ? S ton, my personality presents itself in its corporeal encasement J with such a copiosity of that indefatigibility which characterizes me, and which is so befitting the occasion. I am no ordinary man in the attainments in human perfection, toward which, while I am so near the goal, I am constantly striving with ceaseless ambulations. The more fully you know and realize the consummation of my greatness, the more wisdom you will be possessed of. In response to your kind and most hearty welcome, I am obliged to render thanks to whom they are most appropriately and justly ascribable. I am not here to tell you of the contrast between white and black, nor of that striking yet similar analogy which is so much in evidence between the Senior and Sophomore classes. I do not wish to thwart the development of your latent geniuses by calling to your minds the greatness of our class g much less would I speak of that greatness which is personified in your hu mhle scrvant's career. I have no need for long and detailed a-priori and a-postericrri arguments to show wherein our appreciation of your hospitality so amply manifested this evening, gravitates toward our conjoined existence, but a-fortiori, you see immediately by your intuitions, meager though they he, that we do appreciate your etlcorts to satiate our appetites with farm products of your own hnsbanding, with which these tables are already groaning under their burdens, as our stomachs will. a few hours later. I can not toll you how much we enjoy your pumpkin salad, spiced with sorghum: 07 your artichoke fritters, your game-cock andfricassee, your lime-stone beans, your ratstail soup, and pickled calve's-toe-nails, your onion sandwiches with tin-foil covers, are most delicious, not to mention your corn-starch syllogis ms and your cranberry hyperbolas. These served a-la-bucolic custom and amid this charming rustic atmosphere, are highly gustable and savory. It has been sagaciously said of me, that, 4' a hearty meal makes scarce one dainty dish, but think you not that my intellectual perceptions are keen enough to see what is characteristic of ine? I deeply sympathise with Browning, when he says in his Andrea Del Sarto, that, 'fa manls reach should exceed his grasp, or I should sometimes fail to satisfy the cravings of an earnest stomach. I am proud of this rare opportunity to respond to such a cordial address of welcome in such an admirable manner. We have been most royally entertained, and I say so advisedly. I can truly speak my own sentiments and shall endeavor to 'rind space for them in the Wooster Voice. Qand by the way, I hope you will all pay up your subscriptionsj At this point emotion overcomes me. I am almost intoxicated with that sentiment mingled with that most delicious Scotch Sherry. Would that I could give expression to my feelings of regard for the class of 1900, and their genuine hospitality ! But at best, words are but weak tools, and do not even afford me a ladder to reach the ethereal regions of your overflowing kindness. Touch with me once more the sparkling ruby.

Prof. Black asked, Mr. Frame how many sons had Noah?', Ferris said- He had Lot. 7' Jack interrupted- What ! a Lot, Well how many ? A Sophomore translated- Tyrian robe who soaked in juice ffor dyed in purplej And Noty remarked- Well, ah yes, still I should think it would have been a little damp around his ankles. 'l Prof. Black said-'fMr. Notestein, if the Jews did not eat pork, why were these Jews keeping swine? l'Young Noty answered- I-I don't know sir, unless it was to make brushes out of the bristles. 8 S, R, Brown Spoke-i'Dr. l'd like to ask a question.

Miss Clark read-'fl am cousoled in my longing for you. Mr. McClure asked to correct the translation and remarked- She left out myself. Upon which Miss Clark spoke up hurriedly- Oh, I thought that was understood. Frame reciting said- Christ took the deaf and dumb man apart. And Jacks humanity spoke up- What! how cruel, took him apart? What did the deaf and dumb man say?

This is enough to raise a person's temper to the point of incandescence. Why, sirs, listen, Our censors are remarkable men. A Wiser selection could not have been made. Prof. Compton possesses modesty enough for a dozen Women, and will not take his eyes oif his book once during recitation unless to squelch a person daring to ask a question, Which has of course no bearing on the subject. His originality is shown in his grade-scattering, for in this he is like a sower scattering seed, never caring Where it may fall. Compy gets excited: It's a libel.

Early Saturday morning, the pavement in front of J. George,s store was thronged with the professors and the society students of the college and agricultural department. When the janitor opened the door, there was a great rush to gain admittance. Among the iirst to reach the celluloid collar counter, was Allen Clark. This gentleman who is exceedingly, we might almost say, painfully modest, after having discussed frat with the clerk for an hour and a half, agreed to take two Star Brand celluloid collars, on the condition, that he f the clerkj make no mention of the price to S. Eggleson, who might object to a friend wearing such cheap goods. At this stage of the proceedings, there is a scene of wild confusion at the entrance, and Prof. Compton, followed by three little children rush in. His beaming countenance was most conspicuous among those in the violent assault upon the trouser's department. When we again caught sight of the Professor, he was considering the advisability of buying the pair of trousers which he held in his hand. Frequently he would cast his eyes from this article of clothing, to the graceful outlines of the figure of his son and heir, who was innocently reposing upon a pile of Fedora hats, to the serious detri- ment thereof. A mist came over our eyes as we contemplated the paternal and filial love so strongly depicted in this scene, and we turned away to hide our emotion. While we were gulping down our feelings in this rnannner, our eyes fell upon the agitated features of Mr. Moorehouse. This gentleman with anguish depicted in every lineament of his handsome and noble countenance, was in the midst of a whirling vortex of hats and caps, every single one of which was either too large or too small, too old or too new, to suit the taste of such a connoisseur. A little further toward the front of the store, Mr. Ralph Hickox could be seen, eagerly inquiring of the whereabouts of a certain box of E. dt W. collars, which had formerly reposed in undisturbed peace and quiet upon the shelves of Mr. Georges store. Having received the desired information, 90 Mr. Hickok takes a terrible oath that, nothing can compare with E 3 W collars, and that he, Hickok, will not wear any other, under any circum- stances whatever, and then leaves the store in disgust. Two old and experienced shoppers now enter the store, in the persons of Stahl and Samuel Moore. Mr. Stahl, who is distinctively a society man, buys a dozen of the highest collars he can find, and then looks pensive and sad after this extravagance. He frequently brushes that glossy black mus- tache that adorns his classical features so prominently. This is a sign of abstraction, and Mr. Stahl abstracts five dollars from the innermost recesses of his pocket-book, and purchases a mackintosh and umbrella. It evidently rains a good deal in Mr. Stahls vicinity. Mr. Samuel Moore enters with a haughty, disdainful air, and meanders up to the nektie counter, where he demands something light, if you please. He is accommodated with a pale blue affair, so delicate, so mild, that it would almost fade at a breath. This strikes Mr. Moore's aesthetic nature so forcibly that he forthwith purchases it. Immediately beside him is the Hon. Thomas Woodward. This gentleman who is noted for his startling and tremendous collection of ties and hand-me down suits, views Sammy's purchase with something akin to contempt. He however, condescends to purchase an artistic little thing in a wall-paper effect. He contemplates this acquisition very complacently for about iive minutes or thereabouts, and then buys three dozen handkerchiefs as a sort of after-thought. As Prof. Sauvain ent-ers the store, the door-keeper glances at one of the clerks, and elevates his right eyebrow almost imperceptibly. The clerk immediately takes the genial Sauvain in tow, and advances to the rear end of the store. Here a pair of beautiful crash trousers attracts the wandering gaze of Sterlingfs unsophisticated society man. Sauvain, by the honeyed eloquence of his words. cajoles the clerk into throwing in a pair of suspendcrs and then the bargain is completed. As we started to go. we noticed the melancholy and romantic features of Chilly McGregor. This gentleinans countenance was steeped in the most unuttcrable gloom. and a sort of gentle sadness seemed to be pulling clown the corners of his mouth. As he departed he remarked with a weary and dejccted air, I'll go to Cincinnati. 9. ftracte from Cbur Private Correspondence. Am grateful to you for your tempting offer to furnish an article for your publication. However, I fear your large circulation would give my views on The Drink Habit Among Students, too much publicity. Accept, how- ever, my subscription to The Index.-Grover Olevelcmd. Your iinpudent letter of the 17th received. We absolutely refuse to expose any of your facultyis intemperate habits, simply in order to boom the circulation of your book. However if you have any really sensational news, we will gladly pay you our usual rate, 5225 a column-.New York Voice. Yours in regard to our portrait, in this year's Index received.

My, how time flies! Then I did not go out in society at all, but since I have become a frat man QI mean a fraternity memberj I go to all the large parties in Wooster. I am a Beta. We took in several men last year, but one of the boys said that I would make the best frat. man of all those taken in. There are several nice girls here this year. I go with all of them when I want to, but do you know Aunty, I think more of one sweet little girl than all the others. I won't tell you her name just now, but some time, if she is of my mind, you will know her. I send you my photograph. This girl I speak of thinks it very good looking. So I think so too. This year our Frat. took in a Prep. named Scott. We had a hard rush for him and spent more money on him than he was really worth. I-Ie goes with the girls a great deal too, and they all like him. The girl I spake of told me once that he had as many girl friends as I have nearly. I have grown a great deal since you saw me. I wear a No. 'Zi size hat now, and have to sit it on the back of my head. This man Scott wears i size larger than me. The last letter I Wrote I used to speak a great deal about the Hard girls. I donit go there so much this year since I met this girl I spoke of. Did you hear, Aunty, about Agatha getting held up on Bealle Avenue? Chappy Ohliger Qthe boy I said wore such tight pantsj scared the robbers away. Was not he brave? I thought he was brave Well, Aunty, I am studying hard, but will try to write again soon, and tell you more about our Frat. and this girl I spoke of. i The folks are all well.

W. ll., Wooster, Ohio. 94 l edit rials -f-qitsi?-4-M ' Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed last year, when the faculty volunteered to supervise this year's INDEX.H The faculty has objected to some material which We considered perfectly proper. Yet fwe say it gratefullyj for the first time, substantial support has come to us from the powers that be. ek' ak- er Students often forget to be courteous to professors, but when a pro- fessor fails in courtesy to a pupil in the class-room, the instance is re- membered. As it seems to the casual observer, a professor should not deal in personal remarks to create laughter in the class-room. r The student does not appreciate being made the laughing stock of a class. is as 4+ We were exceptionally fortunate this year in securing the services of Mr. Daggett for the art Work of this voluine. And yet when We had worked hard for three Weeks preparing an entertainment, the proceeds of which were all to go toward Mr. Daggetts salary. it was exceedingly discourag- ing to see so few students patronizing the Gibson Pictures.

We echo the words of Cicero when we think over the past history of our beloved institution. Before our mind's eye rises a vision as of a foot-ball game. The grand- stand is crowded with enthusiastic spectators, Waving banners of the old- gold and black of Wooster and the red and black of W. and J., for this is the game that shall decide the championship of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. All hail to the Wooster team! The championship is ours. Another vision comes before us, strangely like the realities of to-day. Spring has looked graciously upon the Wooster campus. We see before us a fair green lawn bearing no sign or trace of the base-ball diamond of the long ago. Here wander youths of studious bent, wrinkling their brows as they strive to unravel the fairy tales of science. Again the vision changes as with confident editorial eye, we look toward a rosy-tinted future. For when an equal poise of hope and fear doth arbitrate the event, Our nature is, that we incline to hope rather than fear. Tempera mutanturf' saith the proverb, a statement most applicable to us to-day. Who shall lift the veil that separates us from our unknown future? as ar at The Wooster Voice, published under the supervision of a board of con- trol, representing the students and faculty of Wooster University. Is this a fact? This may be the idea, but is it real? Can satisfaction be guar- anteed when on every hand students are loud in there declarations of in- justice and unfairness? Is it fair that a paper, which is supposed to be a representative organ of the students and their interests should be almost wholly dominated in an arbitrary manner by those who are not representa- tive? Aside from the faculty, the board is little more than a figure-head whose principal function is limited to the selection of the editors. Is it not unjust that some, who have not enough interest in its welfare to subscribe, should have four votes while others, who are subscribers, only one, and in some cases owne at all? The student subscribers, together with a 96 reasonable representation from the faculty, should have control with equality toward all. Is it right that the student subscribers should invest annually so much as they do, and receive in return so little on their investment? The present board of editors have, at various times, complained of a lack of time, and this is very apparent, but they aim to appropriate as much gain as possible. Why not share some of the profits of this bonanza among at least three active associates who shall be under the supervision of the editor-in-chief, and thus attempt to realize the kind of a paper so often dreamed of. Why not endeavor to produce some distinctively literary numbers? This would not need be done to the neglect of the religious and other interests, but Would give the paper a semblance befitting the dignity of Wooster as a literary college. Improvement almost Without limit, and ,fcoiomess toward all interested can be a realization, if proper measures are adopted.

'fGoing through the books required in the College curriculum is a very little part of the reading, which every earnest student is supposed to do. What else do we fmd in connection with every institution of learning, both reading room and library, rich in the world's most valuable thought? Were we to iind an institution, devoid of any such department, we should at once denounce it as entirely beyond the pale of consideration. Wooster, we are glad to say, does not rank in this class, but, on the contrary, offers to her students such a rendezvous of information, as ought to enable them to stand with honor among the literati of the world. Within reach of all, are the voices of those dead, yet speaking, who have so thought, and so framed their thought in words, that they yet sway the minds of men as the most despotic monarchs could not expect to do. Wonderful, moreover, is the fact that few appreciate this opportunity, and utilize it to their best advantage. Indiscriminate reading we would not advocate, but, correlative with every text book, there is such a mass of valu- able reading, that he who confines himself to the narrow limits of one man's thought, can eke out but a very meagre gain from his four years of College work. College executors do not presume to say that a subject is exhausted in the assigned curriculum, but it is expected, that the small insight, therein given to a subject, shall arouse such an interest and enthusiasm in the reader as, that he shall be irresistably drawn to seek a deeper, broader view, and to this end there is placed at his disposal the means to satisfy this desire. Spend the few leisure moments which each day brings to you, in com- munion with some kindred spirit, who has perhaps, anticipated your own thought, but who has been so endued with the power of mighty genius as to embody this thought in words, replete with melody, and sweet harmony. . No Hvacant hours should hold a place in any schedule, for he who so disposes may reap therefrom, the richest fruits of his College work, and, in after days, escape the sad regret of wasted time. 108 Gila Hlefuander Boole. ELLA ALEXANDER BOOLE, eldest daughter of Col. Isaac N. and Rebecca A. Alexander was born at Van Wert, Ohio. She entered the University in the second term of the Freshman year, and was graduated in '78, receiving second honor in a class of thirty-one, twenty-eight young men and three young women. In '77 she was awarded irst prize in the '75 Junior Ora' torical Contest. After gradua- tion she taught, with great suc- cess, until her marriage in 1883, to Rev. W. H. Boole, D. D., of Brooklyn, New York. She entered heartily into all forms of church work, very soon becoming well known in Brooklyn and New York by her Bible readings and public addresses. In 1885 she was elected Corresponding Secretary of the Woinanls Christian Temperance Union of New York State, which position she held six years, bringing to it all the aid of her College training, and she greatly sirnpliiied and systematized the work. Upon her resignation, she was elected First Vice President, which position she still retains. Nearly three years ago she was made Secretary of the Young Womans Branch, and at the last National W. C. T. U. Convention, she was made General Secretary of the Young Womans Branch, for the United States. Since the death of Mrs. Burt which occurred this spring, Mrs. Boole becomes the Leader of the New York WY C. T. U. She began to be known as a platform speaker soon after her marriage with the late Rev. Dr. W. I-I. Boole. in IHR4, and since his death devoted herself wholly to reform work. and has been heard in nearly every imporant town of New York and neighboring states. ICQ john Lloyd Lee. OHN LLOYD LEE is one of our directors, and is often heard of in connection with this institution. He was born and reared at Crestline, Ohio, entering Wooster in 1880, and graduating with the class of '85, While in school here he took several literary honors. After spending one year in Allegheny Semin- ary, he graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary, in '88, here he won one of the Carter prizes for best essay on a New Testament Biblical theme. For four months after graduation he occupied the pulpit of the Central Presbyterian Church of Baltimore, in the absence of its regular pastor. In the fall of the same year he married Miss Helen Maple of Pittsburgh, and with her spent several months in Europe, in travel and advanced study in Philosophy and Theology. ' He then spent two years as pastor of the Wharton St., Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. To show how much this church, was built up during his pastorate, it may be said that 103 names were added to the church rolls in the last three months of his stay in that charge. During the year 390 he received the degree of Ph. D from his alma mater. From Philadelphia he was called to the Oliver Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis, the membership of which church as a result of his efficient work, more than doubled. In '94 he accepted a call to the irst Presbyterian Church of East Liverpool, Ohio, where he now remains. His labors there have been greatly blessed, and his congregation numbers 1150, being one of the largest churches of his denomination. The summer of '96 was spent in Europe in company with Frank DeWitt Talmage. He is a trustee of Wooster University, a Director of the Winona As- sembly and summer school, as well as an honored adviser in the Ohio Synod. He has contributed largely to periodicals and newspapers, and is the author of the pamphlet, 'L Should I Join the Church, which has reached its fourth edition. G. 3. Sbivee. J. SHIVES was born in Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio. He ac- cepted the many advantages for a thorough education and Q entered the Wooster High School, in 1875. After his graduation from that school in '78, he entered the University of Wooster, where his cordial personality made him many friends. His work in the University was of the best, and he was graduated in 1882, with honor. In the same year he was elected professor of the Preparatory Department of Wittenburg College, Springfield, Ohio, which position he resigned, in '85, to accept the professorship of Latin and Chemistry in the Akron High School. The following year he was elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart- ment of Heidelburg, until 1892. During the last two years of his residence there he occupied the chair of Chemistry and Physics. As soon as his efficiency as an instructor was communicated throughout the State, his services were in immediate demand. He was elected Superintendent of Public Schools at Sandusky, in 1892, and has held the position up to the present time. Professor Shives has traveled quite eXtensively at home and abroad. He received the degree of Master of Arts from his Alma Mater, in 1885. He was elected Worthy Grand Chief of Alpha Tau Omega. 1886, and has been rc-elected three times. He is a great worker. possessed of much ex- ecutive ability, and very popular wherever he is known. David. R Boyd, HE subject of this sketch was born in Coshocton County, near Co- shocton, Ohio, in 1853. He attended the public schools until about sixteen years of age. He then taught country school for three years, after which he entered the Senior class of Prep. Depart- ment, of Wooster University. He graduated from the University in 1878, and was at once elected Principal of the High School of Bellevue, Ohio, next year as Principal of the High School at Van Wert, Ohio, after which he was elected superintendent of the public schools of Van Wert, Ohio, where he remained eight years. He was then elected superintendent of schools at Arkansas City, Kansas, a new town of about ten thousand inhabitants, organized the schools of that city, assisted in the -erection of city public school buildings to the value of one hundred and sixty thousand dollars: after working there four years, he was called upon to organize the Univers- ity of Oklahoma, in 1892, at the head of which institution he has remained ever since. He has always been active in promoting the interests of Teacher's Organizations, especially so in Kansas and Oklahoma. He is President of the Territorial Board of Education, a body that shapes the educational policy of the Territory. He has been active in assisting in fram- ing the educational legislation of the Territory, perhaps, his most important achievement was the securing from Congress the reservation of Section XIII, in each Congressional township of the land known, as the Cherokee, outlet, for University, Agricultural College and Normal School purposes, making a total amount of land for these institutions of about two hundred and thirty thousand acres. These lands are now leased for the benefit of the institutions for which they are reserved, and the institutions receive an annual income of twenty thousand dollars. The University of Oklahoma now has an annual income from all sources of about twenty-Jive thousand dollars. The first graduating class from the college department this year consists of two young men. Lee Brenton Duretine. EE BRENTON DURSTINE was born on a farm in Wayne Oounty, Ohio, where he spent his early day s. He attended a district school, and afterward by teaching in such a school, secured means to supplement what his parents could furnish him, to carry him through academy and college. After a course of four years in the Uni- versity of Wooster, he graduated from the same, in the class of 1878, with high standing. His course in this institution was marked by lofty ideals of manhood, by diligent study, and an earnest religious life. Mr. Durstine became Principal of the High School, and subsequently Superintendent of the Schools of Oonneaut, Ohio, where he remained for three years. He married Miss Kathrine Sarles, of Bosoobel, Wis. They have two children, Florence and Roy, of whom they have every reason to be proud. He engaged in the lumber business for a time with his father-in-law in Wisconsin, but entering upon Life Insurance, he arose until he became General Agent for Iowa, for the Equitable Life, of New York. Afterwards he followed Mr. John A. McCall into the New York Life, and was made Manager and Oonidential Agent, with headquarters at Columbus, Ohio. For this business Mr. Durstine has developed unusual qualifications that have led him to very exceptional success. His energy, resolution, and enthusiasm, aided by quick and rare business discernment, and knowledge of human nature, have placed him in the very front of the rising business men of our land. Mr. Durstine and his entire family are members of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, of Columbus, Ohio. 3 ,fs M V. . ll Q. 5, 1, ll 'X , xme ek X ff II l I!lIl,i my ,Il wi ,--s wig - Swiss 'mill F l ,illiiii ll..

IN THE SOUTH, APRIL 1, '98 My Dccw' Gypscy J.: Your kind letter asking me for my photograph and an account of our work in the Misson school is at hand. In regard to the likness of my- self, I must decline. I fear its appearance in a Wooster paper or magazine at this time might have an inli uence on Mr. Barnett that I would be most unwilling to exert. In regard to our work here, our duties are the same as in all Mission schools like this one. We rise at eight o'clock in the morning. and that is very early in this climate, have an hour for our toilets and breakfast at nine, then we sing popular melodies for two hours, then a light lunch at eleven, the afternoon is spent in any pleasant occupation we desire, reading and sewing. and the evening in the same Way. The pupils are making rapid progress under our direction, many of them excel all of the teachers in tying a four-in-hand. There progress is really Wonderful, and We all love our Work. Do you know, one of my Wooster friends Wrote me the other day that Mr. Barnett said the evening after his return from the Inter-Collegiate Contest, when he was replying to the congratulations oitered him at the meeting in the City Opera House, that President Lincoln and Edna Smith had helped him to the victory Did he really say that? I do Wonder about it. The Barnetts are such a lovely family and have such a large sugar plantation, that I presume they all three Were glad to help him. Witli many thgmifs for your kind letter, I am, Yours truly, ALICE CORNELL. P. S'-In the rush of our duties Qfor it is almost tea timej, I forgot to ask you another question about Mr. Barnett. My friend tells me, he said in regard to this Speech at the Opera House, that it cost him more than the iirst one did. Do you know how much he paid for the iirst one? H. C.

T is a matter of deep concern and regret to the editors of the Index to see the action of the Faculty this Spring in regard to the appear- ance of their protraits in the Voice. It may be too late for us to eitect any results. We cannot disregard our duty. Personal Vanity in a body like the Faculty of Wooster University cannot pass us unregarded and unwarned. We must blame the Editors of the Voice in allowing them- selves to be over persuaded by the Faculty. These young men are not strong enough to resist their Seniors in years and experience. The bribe offered was large enough to have overcome many older men. An unvvholesome taste for personal gossip exists in the land. The Voice, susceptible to gentle and tender influences, has been impersonally literary, tender, almost Wornanly in its spirit and tone of gentle criticism of our college institutions. The admission of this feature of Hyellovv journalism into its pages is saddening in the extreme. The delicate, albeit pronounced features of the Wornanly teachers of Wooster, are engraven by 11191110117-S crayons on the hearts of the board, and to see these beloved features and love-laden eyes gazing at us from the Voice sheets, and poked into our hands by the horde of commencement news boys, is positively shiveringly sordid. Juggernaut has again rolled over us when we see such pandering to the vulgar taste, such vanity of personal appearance, such sordid valuation of Heaven-sent faces and features. Sadness, tinged with melancholy, aniinates these times. Would it Were other-Wise. Would that we could erase the countenanees from these printed pages, and cherish the linea- ments in our hearts. lt is too late. The haclzneyed Words voice but do not express our unavailing regret that such things must be. I would like to see THE .ARENA in every horne. - William .Iermings Bryan. Sept. 29, 1897.

University Students are about the best judges of good things to eat that we ever saw. It is interesting to note how unanimous they are in selecting Craigheadys as the one place where the palate can best be pleased. On Satur- day night in particular they come into our store and buy Candies, Pickles, . Olives, Fancy Cakes, Crack- ers, and Fruits. We get the bulk of their trade because we have always been particular to handle exactly what they want. WVe try hard to please them better than any one else, and our efforts are appreciated. Craigheadts Candies are the especial favorites of the lady students, and the boys like themjust about as well too. We make nearly all our candies. This . insures purity and freshness. 'We think our way of turning sugar into Candies of all kinds is unsurpassed anywhere. They are dainty, delicious, wholesome and healthful. Our Pickles, Olives, Fancy Cakes and Crackers come from the best houses we can End. The next best or the pretty good is not good enough for our custorners. All Fruits are kept in season. Often you can get at our store fruits which other dealers . do not have. VVC are the Hrst grocers in 0 Wooster to get the new crops, and the last to get the last crops. Our prices are un- questionably the lowest in town. Comparisons at any time will prove that. And we give money back at any time when an unsatisfactory purchase is made. YVe want the trade of every lady and gentleman student at the University. In return for it we promise the most and the best for the money paid us. CRAIGHE Sc CO., The Student's Caterers.

McArthur and Mr. Woodward. TIME.-Morning after Dr. MoArthur's lecture in the City Opera I-Iouse. Dr. MoArthurW Yes, this is a line library you have here, Mr. Wood- ward. Mr. Woodward-'fThis is pretty good, but does not compare with the one I have down town. Mr. McArthur- Ah, indeed, Mr. Woodwa1'd, do you sustain the library you speak of from your private purse?,, Mr. Woodward-f'There are a few of the town fellows-Gann, Haupert, Swartz and a few young fellows that I have taken in with me, and I allow them to bear part of the expense. Dr. McArthur- Very kind, very kind indeed in so young a man. Do you have a librarian in your place, or do you conduct it yourself? Mr. Woodward- I have one of the village maidens hired to attend to that. H Dr. McArthur- I presume your system is the same as that in other libraries? Quiet and decorum, in order to allow readers the full enjoyment of the feasts now spread before them? A Mr. Woodufard-Quite the reverse, my dear friend, we encourage con- versation and the social arts. I often go there myself to conduct the con- versation, the young person in charge is an excellent conversationalist, and a number of the students go there on certain days to aid in keeping a constant stir and bustle. It is good drill for the town people who occasion- ally go there to read-keeps two senses in action-they must listen to me and the others, as well as read, Exit Dr. McArthur, looking properly mystified.
