UBLIC institutions are not usually of mushroom growth. Their roots often lie deeply hidden in the past, long before the institutions themselves take shape above ground. Their history cannot be fully understood until these beginnings are carefully traced and the sources of their nourishment laid bare. The province of the true historian must begin with the study of origins, and ultimate causes. For causes ever underlie conditions. Theories that attempt to explain conditions without study of causes belong to the realm of the imagination. Materials for such study in connection with our University were collected some time since by the writer with considerable research and much care from original sources in the records of the Ohio Synods of the Presbyterian church by which it was constituted and in other documents. These materials were compared with statements of Dr. John Robinson, a chief actor in the early history, to whose presentation of the subject reference is made hereafter. The Index can scarcely do greater or more permanent service to the University than by placing upon record such a sketch of the details of its history in the preliminary movements leading to its organization. To the general public this outline may not prove fascinating reading. But it is not devoid of interest and its permanent value can scarcely be questioned. The great tide of Scotch Irish immigration that flowed into South Eastern, Central and Western Ohio from 'Western Pennsylvania and New jersey early in this century, brought with it intense love of learning. These home- educated pioneers remembered the favorite maxim of john Knox,- Put up the school house with the church. Hence schools and academies speedily sprang up here and there throughout this territory. In the South Eastern quar- ter of the State old attachments drew Presbyterian patronage for higher education largely to Jefferson College and Washington College 'in Pennsylvania, already well established, while others, particularly students for the ministry, were attracted to the old Presbyterian College of New Jersey at Princeton. After the division of the Presbyterian church, the New School branch united with the Congregationalists in Marietta, founded 1835, in Southern Ohio, and in Western Reserve College, founded in 1827, at Hudson, in the North Eastern portion of the State. The Presbyterians of the other branch, Old School, had united with the United Presby- terians in supporting Franklin College, founded in 1825, in the South Eastern part of the State. Two State Institutions were established by national grants of land, Ohio University at Athens, founded 1804, and Miami University at Oxford founded 1824. These had naturally fallen largely under Presbyterial control with Presbyterian Presidents and mostly Presbyterian professors of the Old School, by far the larger branch after the division, in Ohio. The names of Presi- dents McGuffey and Wilson of the former and Presidents Bishop, Junkin, McMaster, Thomas and others of Miami, indicate how firm a hold our church had upon these State institutions. This fact will doubtless account for the delay in organizing a purely Presbyterian college of the Old School in Ohio. Yet the titles and control of these two institutionS last named being vested in the State, it soon became evident that the Presbyterian grasp upon them though vigorous might not te permanent and was ever indeed precarious. Ohio University indeed has long since passed under the virtual management of the Methodist Episcopal church. Meanwhile, as early as 1826 the Protestant Episcopal church had located Kenyon College at Gambier. The Baptists in 1831 founded Denison University at Granville. The Congregationalists, slightingthe union effort at Hud- son, set up for themselves in 1835 at Oberlin. In 1845 the Lutherans located Wittenberg College at Springfield, and the Methodists established Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, the same year. Other less significant educational moves were also made at earlier or later dates. All this was accomplished before our people of the--Oki School branch began active movements in the saine direction. It is therefore no wonder, with the prospect of being left badly in the lurch in the educational Held in Ohio, that the Presbyterians of Scotch Irish descent, boasted pioneers of education, should have seen with dismay their sons being trained in collegiate institutions of other denominations, or journeying to distant regions for Presbyterian instruc- tion. No wonder that they were deeply agitated as to their duty to furnish an institution representing their own faith, to take its place of usefulness beside those of sister denominations in their rapidly growing Commonwealth. The question was opened at an early date in both the Synods of Ohio and of Cincinnati, into which the Old School church of the State was then nearly equally divided. As time ran along and it became evident that not only Presbyterian patronage but also Presbyterian benefactions, estimated by some of the fathers at nearly a million dollars, had flowed into other institutions than our own, the agitation broke out into earnest action. In 1844 the subject of establishing a college of its own in the State was introduced and thoroughly discussed in the Synod of Cincinnati. A Committee of twelve was appointed to examine the subject and report upon the feasibility of founding a Synodical Presbyterial College within its bounds. This was the formal opening of the movement that ended after more than a quarter of a century of discussion and effort, in the organization of W'ooster University. . Discussion of projects by this Synod was continued with Committees in 1845, '46 and '47, with appropriate resolutions. In this latter year the Synod of Ohio, covering the northern half of the State, also moved in the same direction and appointed a Committee to con- sider the question. The next year, 1848, each of these Synods appointed a Committee for joint conference in this matter. The age of Committees is the Eozoic period where the first signs of life appear. In 1849 these Committees reported inability to agree and both bodies dropped the subject and lapsed again into the Azoic age.. In 1852 the Synod of Ohio moved again for a joint Committee to which the sister, Synod responded favorably the following year. The joint Committee thus formed, after long conference, concluded that it was inexpedient to attempt the enterprise at that time, Both Synods however continued their Committees the next year, 1854. In 1855 the Synod of Cincinnati simply renewed its Committee, but the Synod of Ohio, more persistent because most of the other colleges were within its bounds, resolved that The time to commence incipient measures had come, and renewed its Committee while hearing a delegation from Bellefontaine advocating the location of the new college there. The subsequent year, 1856, the sister Synod consented to a new joint Committee, which in time received propositions from Chillicothe and West Liberty, in addition to Bellefontaine. After hearing the report of the joint Committee that year, the Synod of Cincinnati took action toward formal organization of the institution to be located at West Liberty within its own bounds. To this proposition the Synod of Ohio agreed, substituting however Chilicothe, also in the Synod of Cincinnati, in place of West Liberty. Thus the choice of locality was the main hitch. A convention of the two Synods to unite upon a site was subsequently held in Columbus, December 1856, at which West Liberty prevailed by a close vote. This action was reluctantly confirmed in 1857 by both Synods, Trustees were elected and steps taken to raise adequate funds. The next year the Synod of Cincinnati in view of the failure to secure sufficient endowment within the limited period agreed upon, moved to close up the matter on their part and the other Synod had nothing left it but acquiescence. Thus the University of West Liberty passed below the horizon. Another joint Committee was appointed CI85QD to attempt a location at Springfield, since the failure to collect funds arose in large part from dissatisfaction with .former location agreed upon. In 1860 both Synods united in the new project, the newly organized Synod of Sandusky joining in the movement. The shadow of civil war now beclouded the scene. Most of the students of colleges and many from the academies hastened to enlist in the army. In some cases whole classes organized themselves into companies, with a favorite Professor as captain. Thus the proposed Synodical college scheme Went down in the political storm, for the time being. We have detailed these facts to show how persistent and determined were the Presbyterian frends of higher education in Ohio in pushing the Synodical college idea during these early years, and what it cost to secure a University for our church in the State. And be it remembered that at that time there were only one-third as many ministers in the State as there are now and less than one-fourth as many church members, with far less material wealth. Surely some earnest, indefatigable hands were necessarily behind all these movements. Of these two names in the northern Synod stand out as preeminent. They were the venerable Drs. James Hoge of Columbus and John Robinson of Ash- land. These stood ever at the fore among the enthusiastic and resolute leaders whose determination and unflinching persistence at length secured the desired end. These two boldly advocated the project from year to year, had place on all the Synodical Committees and committees of conference and were elected Trustees for West Liberty and Springfield, after having served steadily on the committees on location. When one effort failed they inaugurated another and by their enthusiasm kept the project as were alive from the dead. It was because of this unswerving cooperateration on the part of Dr. ,Hoge in pushing this Synodical college idea that a few years later Mrs. Prof. Wormley of Columbus was induced to present to the University the admirable portrait of Dr. Hoge that hangs in the chapel. And for the same reason still later a professorship was endowed and given his name. The tablet in the hall of the University in memory of Dr. Robinson also bears permanent record of his love for the Institution to which he devoted such indefatigable labor both in its origination and in its early history for over twenty years. His part in the organization of the University however will not be adequately recognized until a professorship in the Institution shall bear the honored name of john Robinson. And now we take up the brief thread of the remaining impulses toward organization of the Synodical Univer- sity. The civil conflict had not yet closed when in 1864 the Synod of Ohio renewed its actiou under the lead of Dr. Robinson and others, Dr. Hoge having in the nieanwhile passed away. The other two Synods were summoned to re- enlist in the good warfare. Sandusky immediately responded. But the time of funds was not yet, In 1865 the town of London offered a subscription of 550,000 for the location, which offer was after considerable discussion declined. An intimation was also received at the same time from Wooster looking toward a proposition. A Committee was appointed by the Synod of Ohio, response not having been received from the other Synods, with power to settle the question of locality should the sum of fIO0,000 be oifered at any point. In the autumn of 1865, the civil war being ended, the sum required was proitered by citizens of Wooster and' Wayne county on conditions of location at Wooster, concurrence of the three Synods and a pledged endowment by the Synods of f300,000. This olfer was accepted by the Synod of Ohio in 1866, trustees were elected and the other Synods were invited 'Co cooperate. Sandusky responded at once and elected its trustees, These trustees of the two Synods met in November 1866 and organized the Board, making arrangements for articles of incorporation and the formal founding of the Institution. The next year Cincinnati heartily joined in and chose its portion of trustees. The institution was thus at last fairly launched. What effort its existence had cost may be realized from the fact that for more than twenty-three years preceeding, action had been taken every year by one or more of the Synods involved. Well may we record the words of Dr. Robinson at the culmination of his labors speaking as the first President of the Board of Trustees: Long and earnestly had prayer been made all over the State on behalf of this project, and now the answer is just at hand. Many hearts are full of gratitude at this. 4 At the inauguration of Dr. Lord, the first President of the University, Dr. Robinson madea historic statement in the form of an address covering the ground herein gone over with many additional details. This was published at the time with other proceedings of the inauguration. But nearly thirty years having elapsed, and the pamphlet having become quite rare, it has been deemed best to revive these 'historical data, with minor corrections from original sources, full credit being given to the detailed statements of Dr. Robinson. PRESIDENT LOUIS EDWARD HOLDEN, D. D President Louis Edfward Holden, D. D. T was no easy-quest, that for the right man to follow Woosterls first three able and eminently successful leaders, Presidents Lord, Taylor and Scovel. After searching for more than a year, the Board of Trustees found in Rev. Louis Holden, Professor of Oratory in Beloit College, that rare combination of qualifications which they sought for the high oliice, and called him to be president of the University. President Holden was born at Rome, N. Y. 5 in 1863. He received his early education in the schools of Utica. At fourteen years of age he accepted a position with a business hrrn, in whose employment he remained for three years. Converted at seventeen, he united with the Presbyterian church at Utica and with his new ideals of life his thoughts turned toward college and the ministry. The next two years were spent in an artists' supply house in Chicago. By the kindly interest of his employer, his pastor, Dr. Kittridge, and other friends, he was led to choose Beloit as his college and to enter Beloit Academy in 1882, and the Freshman class in 1884. He graduated from the classical course in 1888. The remarkable business energy and capacity of Mr. Holden were made manifest by his supporting himself during his college course and at its close having nearly a thousand dollars in hand after all his obligations were met. - During the three years next after his graduation, Mr. Holden completed the theological course in Princeton Seminary. In the spring after both his first and his second years at Princeton he was called back to Beloit to assist President Eaton in raising funds for the college. As he returned for his senior year in the seminary, he took with him as his bride Miss Hattie E. Simmons, of Utica. At the close of his theological course in 1891, Mr. Holden was called to the chair of oratory at Beloit, the very chair -it is interesting to note - which was formerly occupied by the eminent educator, President Fiske, of the Chicago Theological Seminary, who nine years before had directed Hr. Holden to Beloit. During his eight years' service in this chair, Prof. Holden was largely instrumental in bringing the endowment of his college from a quarter of a million up to a million dollars. He was, moreover, popular as a preacher, influential in presbytery and synod, and so successful as a teacher of the Greek Testament in additim to the work proper to his chair that in 1899, shortly before his call to Woos- ter, he was offered a new chair of Biblical instruction at Beloit. d ' au urated President of the University on November Entering upon his work at Wooster last September, an 1n g 1 ' ' ort and affection of the students, alumni, faculty, trustees and friends third, he has Won the enthusl astic confidence, supp ut upon its spiritual intellectual and administrative life the impress of his joyous faith, h t has reached even of the institution, has already p , forceful personality and trained business ability, and has given its material interests an impulse t a ' ' t that is to be. the stones for the builders an d that has started visions of the greater Woos er -x as N 'i' 'ice 00 S52 9 ' U . . , 1 Q. nv X - f , .U .. c 9, U l l - I .,: a wg ? fu 0' XV n .0 'sql I 'oulfjl Q' f X ' . r-I. 0 f 3 , - -.:' 1 P qc . , 9 Q N , wb! The Uni'bersity's New Library. N November 3rd, 1899, Mr. H. C. Frick of Pittsburg aroused the pent up enthusiasm of all the sons and daugh- ters of Wooster University and their many friends, by presenting to their Alma Mater f25,000, to be used in the erection of a new library building, to be called the University Library, in honor of his parents, john W. Frick and Elizabeth O. Frick. Those who were in the audience will never forget the sight of twelve hun- dred people wild with joy and thanksgiving. The young men shouted, the young women waved their handkerchiefs, and their parents wiped their eyes, each showing their emoton and gratitude in their own peculiar way. One man who had never been known to lose his self-control, and as a Judge, had always been as dignified as one, leaped upon a seat and waved his hat. This gift to Wooster University came like the morning salute of a new day. To add to the enthu- siasm, Mr. Frick honored the University by appointing one of its own graduates, Mr. George C. Nimmons, of the class of '87 and of the firm of Nimmons 8: Fellows, Chicago, the architects, with orders to proceed at once with the plans. Early in the year IQOO the plans were submitted to Mr. Frick, when he decided to make the building absolutely fire- proof, and added 510,000 to his original gift of 12 5,00 for this purpose, and accepted the plans as presented without a criticism. The building was commenced in the latter part of March and is to be completed September Ist, 1900. The architect has aimed not only to make the library building a store house but also a monument to literature and those great men whose works are immortal. He believed that the foundation or mother style of architecture, the classic, the most appropriate and scholarly for a university library, and in line with educational methods. Its gen- eral- design consists of divisions and details exactly in line with Grecian proportion, embodying all the improvements and inventions of modern times. Its design follows the best classics in that it has a base, or basement story, a shaft or mainnstory and a cornice or cap. The relation or proportion of these several parts -to each other and to the whole, cle- termine the dignity and the beauty of the whole design. The mouldings and the outlines of the cornice, and the manner in which the window and door openings are designed are after the most careful study and measurements of the Grecian models. We 'rind the great masterpieces of the classic architecture simple in outline, without useless features to mar the dignified effect or its perfect simplicity. So the ain1 in the design has been to make it simple, scholarly, dignified and beautiful. The Library stands in front and to the east of the main building. It is built of a beautiful grey stone 5 the basement story is laid in large courses with deeply grooved joints with the walls battering out to give the appearance of great strength. The stone work of the main story has a smooth plain surface. The cornice is enriched with a carved frieze of laurel leaves with panels for inscriptions supported by the keystones of the openings. The roof is covered with a moss green tile of a classic pattern. Thus the total color effect of the building is the soft grey color of the stone and the moss green of the roof, which will be in perfect harmony with the trees and lawn of the Campus. The interior af the Library consists of a reading and reference room, Librarian'sroom, stack rooni, five seminar rooms for library work, a receiving and unpacking room, a boiler room, two toilet rooms, and three store-rooms. The inish will be old English oak, with tinted walls and stucco ornamentation. The cornice of the main rooms will be en- riched with shields bearing the different class colors, and inscription panels with quotation panels and names of authors. The plan of the building is such that it may be added to in the future without detriment to the present arrangement. i ,, 1f A TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY. ELECTED BY THE SYNOD OF OHIO.

BLUE eyes, black eyes, gray eyes, brown junior Class Ifsfory. - T came to pass in the third year of the Farmer Dicky, while he was strengthening his kingdom-fcalled by some the Department of Prep, but more properly Hayseeds' Rest, -and while he was wearing out his wedding suit, that innumerable multitudes from the tribe of Country Jay flocked to his standard-a delightsome sight to his agricultural heart. Now whlle these things were happening the rival Kingdom in the Hrst year of the Regency of King Prexy. who had recently deposed himself, was enlarged by the addition of a tribe that had iied from the slums of I-Iayseeds' Rest just before the arrival of the Country Jays. This tribe was an excellent one, being valiant and wise and comely to look upon, it was also joined by many who came from afar. At last having all come together they called them- selves the Not-one tribe and so indeed they proved to be, not one but many. Moreover they chose to be their chief a small man, but he was so filled with dread and alarm at the thought of being the leader of such a band that he fell sick and stayed away for nigh unto two years, when he joined another tribe. In this crisis a Iierce young chief with hair like flaming Ere took his place and under him the Not-ones tried many things. In their deep piety they held weekly prayer-meetings for the other tribes in PreXy's Kingdom. They also went out on the foot-ball field where they met some rude, rough fellows who battered them about, pushing them to the ground and tramping upon them. In spite of these misfortunes the Not-ones increased mightily in wisdom and were a delight to their teachers. After a long time they invited the friendly tribe of Ninety and Nine to a banquet at which they fed them with dish-water soup and delicacies 5 as a result of this many came near to dying, Then the N ot-ones tried base ball, in which they were exceedingly successful, almost winning each game. At this time as the year was drawing to its close, certain valiant ones among them ascended the heights ofthe tower and inscribed, with much labor, the name of the Not-one tribe, which remained until the first year of I mean business Holden, who could not endure the sight of it and ordered the tower torn down in consequence. Thus ended the first year of the Not-ones' habitation in Prexy's Kingdom. In the second year certain ones of the tribe returned not back, but new members took their place. In this year the Not-ones were very proud and haughty, but their spirit was soon crushed, as the following events will show. Certain of their number, feeling that the burden of years and the ever increasing weight of knowledge which they were constantly acquiring would prove too much for them and render them helpless before their enemies, chose as their chief a mighty man of learning and of valor, even a famous prize-tighter, and also thought to provide themselves with staves, on which to lean for support. But it came to pass that on the night when they were about to make use of their staves, the Regent Prexy, overcome by jealousy because he had none, and also moved to anger by the false accusations made by certain fellows of the more worthless tribes, who declared that the Not-ones had obtained the staves to stir up insurrec- tion and to torment their enemies, came to where the Not-ones had assembled, and with tears in his eyes and weeping in his voice made them ignominionsly put their staves aside. Moreover in those days there were some who attempted to set up the Not-one standard but were unsuccessful, and one of their number fell into the hands of Eberly Augustus. Thus they became a laughing stock tw their enemies and a shame to their friends. On the football held they were put dreadfully to flight and trampled on as before. At this season of the year when the pigskin was still chased about, it came to pass on a certain day, when the tribe of Simply Nothingsu had succeeded in defeating the Ninety-and-nines, that the above-mentioned valiant chieftain of the Not-ones sought to hold for a little while the banner of the Simply Nothingsf' which was merely a red rag on the end of a stick : while he was endeavoring to accomplish his purpose a valiant Amazon, who, though of small stature, was stout in heart and fierce in spirit, gave a shrill war-whoop and like a tiger leapt at the noble chief and falling upon his neck utterly vanquished him. And thus the second year of their hab- itation in the Kingdom was brought to its close. Now in the third year, the Kingdom passed from the hands of the Regent Prexy to the famous King I mean business, Thumpthetable I-Iolden. Inspired by his example -the Not-ones determined to mean business and on the foot- ball held defeated two tribes that come up against them. Their chieftain in this year was a tall man, wise and of good counsel. Also they decided to make themselves immortal by writing a book, in which all the affairs of the Kingdom should be described truly, and all the sins of the inhabitants thereof exposed and brought to ridicule. The book which you now read is the one whereof I speak and if you find your misdeeds brought to light be thankful that they were no worse : but if you find not your names therein, rejoice not, but be assured that your oifenses have been to dreadful and too many to mention. Thus endeth the third year of the habitation of the Not-one tribe in the Kingdom of I mean- business, Thumpthetable, Bluffthestudents Holden. Y unior Class Roll.

S I sat in my room in the calm of a Saturday evening, unhampered by the thoughts' of a date at the Dorm, and with no sound in the house but the melancholy twang of a guitar, that floated up to me from somewhere out of the depths, the thought came to me why not writea history. A history ! Yes write a history ! Queer thought I I smiled and began to think over all the things, the history of which might be written. A varied list ran through my mind, ancient and modern, good and' bad. What's the matter with a college class? I thought. Leave the ancients to be dug up and exhibited by somebody more fond of digging. There's IQOOQ they will do first rate. It will be a real service to humanity to write this history, for these Seniors are soon to go out armed with a string of A' recommends, and a history is a true statement of what is known, I settled back and began to muse on the people and their doings as I knew them. Their record is not one to be especially proud of . They came into the University the year of the last national election and if the U H has good luck they will pass out before another. They proved the capacity of the inner man at a Junior - Freshman social early in their career. That 16 to I social, sixteen boys to one girl. was one place at least where the girls were decidely taking. They took all the poor fellows had. This class is athletic. They played such good base ball that one time Gus Eberly had to call the game on account of his supper, and it took two fellows till away after dark to count up the score 5 the other fellows score. Football went even better and they won some honors at the game. With the humility of a lightening rod man, they asked that all their tablets be put in a row and then had the team picture put put into one of them. There is no need of fearing for their memories. They will not be forgotten. From this class have come three of the college orators. This is about the best thing they can say of themselves and they say it too. The departure of Griesimer from this class and the U was an event. Peace to his ashes. The gentle breezes of the Atlantic fan his fevered brow as he ponders why Wooster did not win at Granville. That Index J' they put out last year was the Hnest one the University has had in many a day. I never saw students so eager to buy anything. I-Iorn's News Depot has not had such a rush since Dewey took Manila. The demand far outran the supply. 1 , M. W 0 hey are a queer lot, these Seniors, dreadfully given to matrimony.

Benny seemed moved, Ajax was touched, Noty shut his eyes and would not give them so much as a second look, Compy blushed deeply, and Prexy-rose to read. From the highways and byways, from lanes and from hedges they have been called 5 and still there- is room. This seemed suggestive. What was there more-more to come? Were they not all here? No, the worst must be told, for what afterwards proved to be Mackay now came prancing in. He had stopped in the hall to wipe the mud from his boots and give his few scanty hairs a final hnishing touch with a curry-comb, which he always carries concealed beneath his coat for that purpose. N ineteen-two was here at last and what a motley, variegated gang they were. It was a touching sight. In verity and truth, there was Kantre Cite Johnson, Meandering Mike Finney, Farmer Foss, Weary Willie Evans, who walked clear from Philadelphia here, and whose shoes still carry the self-same dust 5 Mossbacks, Farmers, Hobos, Hay- seeds-none were lacking. They crouched into their seats and looked around in wall-eyed astonishment, and when one thought himself unobserved he would point with his thick, clumsy thumb to some newly seen object. The chandalier soon attracted them and they would look from the bright globe on its bottom to the brighter one on top of Ajax's neck. Not a standing collar was to be seen in all the crowd, and only one lay down, and this a paper one worn by Slirnmy Sleinmons. Red bandannas served as collars for the rest. The boys wore boots greased with lard and the girls great bushy bangs and calico plaids. Spectacles and lead pencils thrust through the hair, the two distinguishing marks of a college woman now, were noticeably absent- The smell of the farm, of the country, was still upon them. Hands bent and warped by long association with the plow g backs humped by close acquaintance with the hoe g faces freckled by reason of the sun. This was nineteen-two the day they first entered chapel. And when it was over and all had tiled out, as Cummins brought up the rear, no wonder Hammer took a new chew of tobacco and uttered low inarticu- late mutterings about resigning. But time crept on apace, and soon their Freshman year was over, and though the spirit of pure farmerism seemed to pervade them all so deeply, yet in the present year some slight improvement could be seen. It showed itself in various ways. Mighty Lehman donned a sweater gay, and wore a tie of red, but all in vain. The Frats could see the straw still sticking in his hair and turned him down, Corduroy pants began to appear 5 eye- glasses with long gold chains dangling from their ears could be seen among the girls 5 then the bangs grew less and less in size and some of the boys began to cut their hair. But advancement seemed contagious and no less did 'nineteen-two show their skill upon the field. Not content with the ordinary game of foot ball, they soon learned to bite and scratch and slug. Here some gained a record and earned for the class the unenviable name of Dirty Sophsf' Although they never earned a tablet yet, they did beat the Preps by adding those new features to the game. In the class-room they were unrivalled. An illustration from their star reciter, Farmer Beeler, well served as an example for the class. When asked in Biology by Prof. B., how the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, he replied that at great trouble and expense they procured a fleet of several boats and during a severe storm they managed to land near Jericho. They were so rejoiced at landing safely and in their forethought in taking so many boats that Pharo could not follow, that they decided to attack Jericho immediately, which they took, he said, after a few days of terrinc bombardment. In Latin they were not a whit behind. When Reuben Espie, who has made himself famous by being the only one in his classes on the Hrst day of the winter term when all the rest had votei to cut, had read a certain passage, Prof. N. said, If you were to get a telegram like that wouldn't you think some one was dead ? Yes, said Reuben. Wouldn't you think you were dead P again asked Noty, and Rube had meekly to answer Yes. In literary work they seemed to have passed far beyond those great spirits who had gone before. Declamation was to them a mere pastime 3 oratory zi child's play 5 the writing of essays only a sport. But they were concerned with the more weighty affairs of election of ofhcers and battering down the doors of neighboring halls. This seemed to suit their taste more and their advanced stage better. But why .write more? They had come to school to get an education. This is 'o2. What this hungry mob will do when let loose on an unprotected world remains for some future historian to relate. .Slophmore Class CROII. YELL-Zio Boom Bali ! Zip Bam Boo ! Ki Yi! Ki Yi!

Yet I shall not seek to shun the task imposed on me, cost what it may, for I have ever been as ready to listen to the trumpet call of duty as to the dinner bell. I will drag forth from their holes and noisome dens and secret hiding- places in the abysmal depths of personality these wretched creatures still covered with the primordial slime from whence they spring, and in the glarish light of day subject them to the righteous scorn and contumely of horrified mankind. Whence came these protoplasmic beings of a forgotten era, these excresences of the social order, these rag-tag remnants of the Neotithic age? Who is responsible for the presence here of this unmitigated aggregation of synco- phated intellects? Whom shall we accuse of this, the most stupendous crime of the century-the crime of ,QQ-,O3? .Hearken and you shall hear the things that were, the things that are, and the things that shall be. It was early one summer morn of ,QQ, a few weeks before the beginning ofthe fall term, that Dickey started forth on his fall mission. It was a calm and beautful morning, the sun was rising-in the west, the moon was setting in the east, the gay and festive billy-goat hopped lightly from bough to bough and the voice of the garter snake was heard in the land. The heart of John Howard was happy within him, for from the Preps. he had already selected as promising a nucleus of irreclaimable reprobates for the class of 1903 as,could be desired. Everywhere -he went he scattered bills bearing this simple legend: Freaks wanted-See john Howard Dickason, University of Wooster, The result surpassed all expectations. From every quarter of the country the lame, the halt, and the blind flocked into town, many side-shows lost their stellar attractions, rubber-necks, living skeletons, wild men of Borneo, swell heads, and glass eaters, threatened to deluge the place. Among the first to arrive were Harrison and Ritchey from the 1 'ff slums of Lisbon and Pittsburg. Next came Don Eggerman representing the effete East, his ,clothing rent and ragged and his glass eye knocked out by Blaser, who having imbibed too freely of the wines of Winesburg was biasing his way around with a base ball bat. Lane, the headless man of Sandusky county, and Ewing who had been driven from Canaan for trying to steal the wings of the Archangel Michael, together with a countless horde of kindred spirits, most of them of so bright an emerald hue that they left a green stain wherever they sat down, followed after, while the rear was brought up by Lee Mohler, a bundle of tracts under one arrn and a large, dark bottle conspicuously labeled Cough Mixturen' under the other. In the meanwhile the citizens had been warned of their approach and taken suitable precautions. The car tracks and streets were lined with scores of volunteers armed with shot guns, while a force of a hundred special deputy Sheriffs escorted them to their boarding houses. After a few weeks vigilance was relaxed somewhat because by con- tinued strife among themselves a large portion was exterminated and the rest subdued. Finally they managed to organize on the common ground of their' love for the flowing bowl, electing a Brewer for president, Neptune-strange to say-as patron divinity, and Ed Shupe as mouth-organ and leader of the band. This was a purely spasmodic effort however, for since then they have steadily deteriorated until their last con- dition threatens to be much worse than the first. Their fu'ure indeed is full of gloom, the Blackness of their nights being lit by only a single Starr. Let us hope that by the end of next year the few that remain will sucumb to the wiles of the profs or that Benny will destroy them in the club, a consumationj' to quote Billy S,, most devoutly to be wished for.

V LL Preps have hitherto been divided into pmffes izfes, of which one has been called Junior, another Middle, and the third Senior. This division was simply for convenience, being founded on no specific differences, for all Preps are alike. But lately the authorities have decided that three years are not enough to 'dt a child even for Freshman, and hence they have added another year, so that Preps are now divided into First year, Second year, Third year and Seniors. It can easily be seen that this increase in the number of years will soon necessitate an increase in the Faculty. But so long as Savannah Academy is in full operation there need be no fear of a dearth of Pro- fessors at Wooster. The Faculty at present consists of Dicky, who has to have his hats made to order 5 Aunty Pen, the Faculty chaperon 5 Johnnie Boyd, who is a hypocondrise, steamship ticket agent, real estate dealer and mortgage fore- closer 5 jack Black, who teaches Biblical in a mathematical mannerand Mathematics in anything but a Biblical manner 5 G. M. Johnson, who plays a cornet, flute, piccolo, and all kinds of music 3 Ben Barnard, who teaches Botany, being a sort of mouthpiece to Dr. Mateer, and Dr. Sanvain, who is general utility man, teaching the fragments that remain from the work of the other Profs. A P ' 5 A ' There is a motley crowd in Prepdom. Big and little, old and young are all mixed up together.-A-But, oh, 'tis a beautiful sight to see grey-haired women and childish-faced boys sitting side by side in the class-room '! '-To see men with matured and whiskered faces studying from the same books with rosy-checked lassesl A grand 'sightli Oh, Prepdom, thou art the great leveler I Here We find me-mentoes of the departed sent to keep their memory green. 'We have a Graham, a Murray, a Kline, an Overholt and a Harrington QWhat would Wooster be without a Harrington ?j. We have a Notestein just beginning the journey full of promise to follow in the family footsteps. There's a girl who, in voice, in feature, and in manner, reproduces for us, as Well's could possibly be done, the one whom Japan has gained at Wooster's loss. One of the prominent hgures in Prepdom is Happy MacDonald, who, although not yet a min, has, as he fondly believes, put away childish things and adopted the insignia of manhood-pipes, cigarettes and swear-words 5 but e who, in reality, still speaks as a child, thinks as a child and understands as a child. But by far the greater part of Prepdom consists of Ralph Lowry, who says he is glad that he entered school when he did, before the Faculty rules began to discriminate against Preps. Another youngster is laboring under the misapprehension that he is a whole quart whereas in fact he is only a Gill. The Department has the honor to furnish Dr. Bennett's assistant in Chemistry. This is Will Woodland, and he is maki-ng great progress., and bids fair soon to be as eliicient as the Dr. himself. He has learned the shoulder movements perfectly, and with a little more practice will soon be mas-ter of the face movements as well, after which the manner of walking and gesticulating can be readily acquired. It will not do to omit mention of the romantic story of Crete and Grace, whose course of true love is roughened by parental opposition. But, undaunted by vetoes, they struggle on, fearing not to resort to secret flight in order that the joy of skating, though forbidden, need not be foregone. Such attachment is not frequent among Preps 5 it might well be more so There are some excellent matches which ought to be made, as, for instance, McNary and McCammon, and several others of equal suitability. 4 Among the other remarkable personages in the Nursery, passing notice might be given Rochester, champion heavy-weight and bag-puncher 5 Gravatt, one of the Cuban leaders and liberators 5 McMannis, who can play the banjo and whistle in his throat. Nor is the Department lacking in beauty. There is the tall, majestic blonde5 and the sparkling, pelile brunette 5 with all varieties and 'degrees intermediate. The Organizations in Prepdom are not numerous. There is an Anti-Dick Society, whose commendable object is to promote unfriendly feeling with the Faculty. There was an attempt on foot to form a Reading Circle 5 but when it was found that the members would have to give up at least a small part of each meeting to literary study, the attempt was abandoned. Then there are three Literary Societies : Lowell, which meets in the evening, of necessity, under strict supervision, Orio, for the progressive young ladies whose road is onwardg and Lincoln, in the afternoon, for small boys who are too.-young to go out after dark. 'Lately there has also been organized the Dickasonian Society, composed of the overflow from Lowell. In closing, it is only fair to say that the Department owes some of its oldest and most mature members to the exertions of the Principal at County Institutes and in the Summer School. . f Myrtle Edith Aten - Cora Helena Baker - Mary Estella Beebout Edward Victor Belles - Lulu Ethel Coe - John Kerr Davis - Mabel Deloris Fike Nettie Foreman - Daniel Gerig - - Ray Russell Gill - - Roscoe Springer Graham Zadie Irene Griffeth - Charles Leeds Grosjean Mabel Irene Hanna - Albert Keyes Hibbard Henry Horst - - Edna Dale Houston - Leslie Robert Houston Orlando Whitefield Irwin John Findley Jameson Levi Oliver King - - Preps' Class CRQII.

I Beta Theta CPL HE fraternity of Beta Theta Pi was founded in the year 1839 at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. john Reily Knox, '39, Was the founder. It is incorporated under the laws of Ohio. Always a fraternity giant in the West, as a friendly critic describes Beta Theta Pi, is today no less strong in the Elst and South. There are at present sixty-one active chapters situated in colleges only of the highest standing in the land. Thirty-four alumni chapters are found in as many different cities of the Union. The total enrollment of active men is 1 1, 39 3. The oiiicial magazine is the Beta Theta Pi, established in 1872 and published monthly. The Hag is a field of blue with a border of White and displaying three stars in the center, arranged at the angles of a triangle including a red rose. The fraternity colors are light shades of pink and blue, The flower is the rose, each chapter selecting an individual variety. The sixty-irst annual convention will be held in Put-in Bay, Ohio, August 28-31, IQOO. Alpha Lambda chapter was established in Wooster University April 15, 1872, with J. Wallace Cummings, Wm. Rush Taggart, R. R. Carpenter, C. H. Purmont, A. T. Robertson, Frank Taggart, and Daniel Butterfield as charter members. The fraternity yell is- ' Phi-Kai-Plzi ! Bow- Wbw- Wow, Phi-Kai-Phi !

HI Gamma Delta was founded at jefferson College in I848. During the irst few years of its existence its growth was confined chiefly to the south, but the larger part of these chapters were killed by the war. At present it is aidistinctly national organization, having chapters from Maine to California, and from Minnesota to Carolina. The fraternity's forty-seven chapters are divided into twelve sections - the section in which Wooster is located consisting of the five Ohio chapters, together with Allegheny and Washington and Jefferson. In addition to this there are twenty-two graduate chapters and four alumni associations. The government of the fraternity is vested in a college of five archons elected from the fraternity at large at each meeting of the national ekklesia. Since the adoption of the new form of government, the national president has been General Lew Wallace. The fraternity is progressive. During the past few years it has entered a number of the best colleges in the east and west. A new song-book and new catalogue, the latter comprising some thousand pages, have just been pub- lished. The oiicial organ known as the Phi Gamma Delta, recently put in new hands, is now issued eight times a year. Rho Deuteron Chapter was founded in 1880. Its career has been one of progress, Our policy has been to require a high individual standard. We demand of our members intellectual, social and moral worth. The chapter has always adhered to the belief that large membership is not conducive to the best success of the members, both indi- vidually' and as a unit. Hence at no time has our roll of active initiates borne more than seventeen names. We believe that under the new college regime the future of Wooster's fraternities will constantly grow brighter and we feel equally assrued that the Rho Deuteron will maintain its present envriable position among the Greeks.

HE Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity was founded at Richmond, Va., Sept. 11, 1865, by Rev. Otis A. Glazebrook, D. D., Alfred Marshall and Judge Ershim M. Ross. Dr. Glazebrook, whose untiring labor carried the fra- ternity through the early years of its history, has from the first been one of its national officers, and has missed but one of its national gatherings. His son is now its highest officer and his grandson is the first Alpha Tau of the third generation. Judge Ross at present presides over a federal court with his home at Los Angeles, California, while the whole fraternity has been compelled to mourn the loss of the third, Mr. Marshall, whose death came while constructing a railroad through the south. The government of the fraternity consists of delegates from the active and alumni chapters which meets every two years, the essential parts of the duties of this body being carried on in the meanwhile by a High Council of five members. In addition there are five grand officers and five provincial chiefs and a Worthy High Chancellor, whose duties correspond to those of the supreme court of the United States. The publications of the fraternity are tl1e Palm, a quarterly, a national catalogue and a song book, a new ecltion of which will be out this spring. Ohio Beta Mu Chapter was founded December ro, 1888, by Professor E. J. Shives, of Pittsburg. The original chapter consisted of Professor Boyd and seven students and it entered a field already occupied by six boys' fraternities, three of which have since been compelled to give up their charters. Although it naturally met with early discourage- ments, yet its growth was so steady and rapid that it very soon took the place it still holds among Wooster chapters. Since it was founded the chapter has enrolled ninety-three men, of whom forty-Eve have graduated and thir- teen are active. Beta Mu has tried to realize that the fraternity ideal is open for attainment to all Greek letter organi- zations whose policy is that of charity and honor and in all its relations to friends and rivals has striven to approximate the ideal. Our past honors and reverses all may know, our present is open to inspection, the future, of course, is un- written history, but the purpose and hope are cherished that it too shall be worthy of record.

HETA Nu Epsilon is an inter-fraternity organization, and its main objects are the development of social feeling among members of different fraternities and a near approach to the ideal secret working of a fraternal organi- zation. The charters ot this fraternity are granted by the original chapter, Alpha, located at Wesleyan Col- lege, which chapter was founded in I87I. The fraternity is very conservative in the matter of entering, only granting charters to those in which the diEerent Greek fraternities have attained to high standards of excellence. No students lower than Sophomore are received as members and they remain sub-rosa until the end of their sophomore year. The nin of the fraternity is a small gold skull, with keys crossed beneath, the letters T N E ap- pearing on the forehead. The colors are green and black. Tau Chapter was formed June 4, 1891. JOHN M.

HE Websterian Literary Society was founded in 1897 for the purpose of obtaining greater proficiency in literary Work, suflice it to say that she has accomplished her purpose. Although comparatively weak in the first year of her existence, she has since made such unpreceded advancement, that in the past year she has triumphed over the Athenaean and Irving Societies in the local preliminary, and has taken second place on the state oratorical contest. In the Literary Hall the programs are ever ofthe highest order, and her work is standard in every respect. Judging from her unsullied past, her future shines out as one of the most glorious and unparalelled ever recorded in the annals of Woos- ter Literary Societies. Websfefian Roll of Members. R. H.

The fact that the members of the society this year have plenty of literary skill, has been proven to its visitors by many a spirited program.

Oraztorical Association. O krow and understand is the privilege of the scholars, but to express and to move men by the power of his burning eloquence is the function of the orator. To develop men in this very necessary art the oratorical con- test has been of great value. Wooster's loyal sons, feeling the need of a stimulus to oratorical effort in the University, organized an associa- tion composed of the members of the Athenaean and Irving literary societies, at that time the only gentleman's societies in the college. The object of this association was to elevate the standard of college oratory by holding annual contests at home and engaging in contests with like associations in other colleges. The annual local contest is held the third Friday evening of the winter term. The winning orator represents the University at the State contest, while the holder of the second place serves as one of the toasters at the annual Ora- torical Association Banquet. The State Association, of which Wooster is at present a member, has been organized eighteen years. It was founded in 1882 at a convention at Deleware. Wooster had the honor to furnish the first president of the association, Mr. S. A. Cornelius. Five colleges were represented, O.W. U., Adelbert, Marietta, Oberlin and Wooster. In '83 Hon. Charles Krichbaum, of Wooster, now of Canton and a trustee of the University, was awarded tirst place. In '84 the association met at Wooster, Oberlin winning lirst place and Wooster tying for second. In '87 the association includ- ed besides those before mentioned O. S. U., Wittenberg, Dennison, Buchtel and Ohio University. The following year an amendment was passed limiting the number to ten colleges. Again in 'QI Wooster played the host unselnshly, being contented to take Hfth place. In ,Q3 at Marietta Myron J. Jones, then business manager of the Voice, and now Y. M C. A. Secretary at Mansheld, won the contest for 'Wooster and took second place in the Inter State contest. In ,Q7 Carey E. Gregory car- ried the palm of victory for his alma mater. His able production was on the subject of Arbitration. In '98 Allan Barnett captured the plaudits of the audience and charmed the ears of the judges with an oration on H The Second Duty of the Citizen. it 'Wooster has won ive contests and in the last seven years has taken three iirsts, two seconds and two fourths, the best record of any college now in the association. Those now members are Mt. Union, Buchtel, Wittenberg, Mari- etta, Hiram, Dennison and Wooster. 7792 Contest af Dennison. black, but were not at all formidable looking. That evening five Cone got left on the Wayj rode into Granville without any blare of trumpets or beating of drums to herald their approach. Granville cared not that Wooster's debating team had come to storm her citadel, They early retired, but Morpheus seemed jealous of such distinguished personages and denied the balm of sleep. By 5: 30 next morning the visitors were out viewing the little town. Now and then a Denisonian caught sight of the delegation and chuckled to himself, perhaps, at the insignificant looks of our debaters. But quality of voice and logical power are not proportional to height of stature. Along in the afternoon the boys became a trifle excited, Frame began getting a little nervous, Fackler began to look solemn, while Custer could speak of nothing but the debate. In vain did the others try to divert their attention. Custer had a marvelous drink prepared, made out of white of egg and lemon juice plus ultra: This he administered to his colleagues, much to Fackler'S delight. But as expected, it did its work and every man's voice was as mellow as a pumpkin. About seven, Noyes, the President of the league, proceeded to the Baptist Church where the debate was to be held. The three debaters remained behind a little while, their hearts thumping Within them and their faces pale and solemn. Soon they, too, went to the church. Dennison had the affirmative of the question: Resolved, That Special Tariff Legislation Should be Applied by United States to her Insular Possessions. They put forth their strongest man first, tall and commanding in appearance. He used only I2 of his I5 minutes. Murray Frame, the dramatist, then opened the battle for Wooster. Clear, strong and convincing were his arguments as he showed in his earnest manner that special tariff legislation was unnecessary and inexpedient. Many a Dennisonian afterwards acknowledged that he had been captivated by our first debater. Green, for Dennison, then spoke setting forth in a clear manner the argument for the affirmative. Custer E Q T 11:02 on the twenty-fourth of May six students left Wooster depot. They Wore proudly the old gold and followed. The proposed Zegislazimz is zmro7zstifuz'z'mza!, he said in a calm full tone and then proceeded to uphold his position with a clear and lucid constitutional argument walkingupf and down the while in a way that made his enemies nervous. Lewis, for Dennison, succeeded, speaking with arms akimbo in an easy manner as though he expected a Walk over, and in fact he did stumble over the foot-light, He coniined himself to the consideration of Puerto Rico, and iinally tried to spring a surprise on the negative. If the proposed legislation said he, is unconstitutional, make it constitutional. But, unfortunately for him, he said very soon after, we take the conditions as we find them. Fackler then took the floor and devoted the iirst four minutes to a rebuttal of the aliirmative. Turning to them he Bred olf question after question about hemp and rice and other things which they had talked about, evidently without understanding the subject 3 questions he knew nothing about himself, but which he was confident they could not answer. He poured ridicule on their attempted dodging of the constitutional question and presented a strong argument on the side of justice to the islanders, finishing with a grand summation of arguments which presented as solid a front as a British square. As he took his seat in through the door crowded a Wooster delegation nineteen strong. Delayed by a wreck they had just arrived. In they came, waited a moment at the door and then the building resounded to one Wooster yell after another. Then they took front seats for the last speech. The tall man came on again and did his best to snatch victory from the hands of the victors. Fackler's questions he said he was not bound to answer. He accused that gentleman of appealing to the emotions and sentiments of the judges and declared that the affirmative, too, were deserving the best interests of the islanders. The bell cut short his sad complaint and he took his seat, while the Dennison yell echoed from wall to wall. The Dennison quartet then lifted up their voices and sang a dirgeso well that they almost soothed the palpitating hearts of the debaters. Then the decision of the judges was brought to Noyes, the president of the evening. Then he said, after a few moments' silence: The decision of the judges has given Dennison --second place, XVooster first. It took several seconds for it to dawn upon the Wooster boys what had happened, Then they raised their voices, their enthusiasm growing as they cheered 5 out into the street they went still shouting, and ceasing not till they could produce nothing more than faint croak. The first inter-collegiate debate had been won by Wooster-the decision unanimous. D K RW f ' K SICHL NIZFXTIONS 3' Wusicali Department. VER since Apollo stretched strings across the turtle's shell and plucked sweet music from the quivering' wires, the pulse of the world has been throbbing faster and the heart of the world has beat more tenderly through its influence. Of the spiritualizing eifects of music volumes might be writteng it is Calong with poetryj our salva- tion in an age of materialism and competition in that it brings- us closer to the ideal. For the ideal is, after all,-' our one end in lifeg human nature, sooner or later, stretches out its arms for it, disregarding the bands and toys she had embraced before. True to nature, after fifteen years of existence, the University of Wooster stretched out its arms for a musical department as the ideal possession hitherto lacking 5 but unlike the common run of human kind, she realized her ideal. The department came championed by a name which shall always lend lustre to its annals however illustrious the future shall paint them-the name of Prof. Karl Merz. . Single handed he established it and unsupported he carried it on for several years. Whatever assistance may have come to him was of such a nature that he could not readily make use of it so that he himself constituted his own faculty and corps of assistants. Musician and man of genius as he was, he could not but leave an indelible imprint on the life of the department, and what he planned, his successors have been enabled to reap with great success. The 1 h. . . . . . . p ans w ich he but sketched for the future have been realized in a large measure since his death and what existed for' him only in flights of fancy Ca permanent and appropriate home for his departmentj has now materialized into bricks and mortar in a convenient and very desirable residence recently presented to the college. From small beginnings the conservatory has risen to dignity and prominence, numbering more than one hundred on its roll and lending its culture not only to those who are definitely enrolled as music students, but to all who come within the range of its wider influence in its admirable recital and elsewhere. The head educated at the expense of the heart is the great cry against college training, then ought not- that which has a culture value for the emotions be prized as the greatest of educators? Believing this to be true-as we do -we offer the conservatory of music to you as the epitome of all that is best and highest in the work and influence of the University. T College Song.

The Shakespearean club ofthe University of Wooster was organized February 24. 1897, and met with such eucouragment and success that it has ever since occupied a prominent place among the literary and social clubs of Wooster. Its establishment was the outcome of a long felt desire among some students that a permanent club be formed to pursue systematically the study of Shakespeare. The Club each year takes up a critical study of someone of Shakes- peare's plays and prepares it fot puplic presentation in the spring. The membership of the club is limited to twenty members, elected from the three upper classes. XVINIFRED A XTELL. GRACE ANDERSON. MAY CORBETT. RUTH ELLIOTT. ANNA ENVING. ELEANOR EWING.

The circle in its existence has been very successful, approximating very closely its aim and purpose. It is as strong today as when established and the work clone this year is superior to that of the two previous years of its history. The future is bright and the members are iilled with hope of even better success in the coming year. ' Among the authors that have been taken up with selections from their works are Longfellow, Haw thorne, Whittier Oliver Wendell Holmesg also some of the more modern writers as Richard Harding Davis, Mark Twain, Will Carleton, James Whitcomb Riley and others.

The Y. M. C. A. ofthe University of Wooster was organized December 6, 1879, with fifteen members Its mem- bership is now eighty-two. The aim of the Association is ot strengthen the Christian life and usefulness of Wooster students. Some of the means employed are Bible study classes, Mission study and Evangelistic work. The Weekly prayer-meeting is held Tuesday evening at six. The average attendance is good and the success of the past year's work is encouraging. We have been especially helped by the presence of John R. Mott, secretary of the student Work, and of Fred M. Gilbert, traveling secretary of the Student Volunteers. 1 Officers '00 - 01.

The Young Women's Christian Association of Wooster University was organized February 6, 1883, a little over three years later than the Young Men's Christian Association. It began with thirty-four charter members. The good work begun then God has continued to bless and prosper during all these seventeen years. Many a young woman has had her Christian character enriched and prepared for Christian service through the Association, and God only knows how far-reaching have been the inliuence and helpfulness of such lives. During the past year our number has reached seventy. We have just doubled the number we had at the beginning of the Fall term. We are an organization of Christian young women united in unselnsh Christian fellowship and service. Our object is the development of the Christian character of the members and the prosecution of active Christian work, especially among the women of the institution. We seek development in order that we may be prepared for the service that will be expected of us in the future. God gives us this development through opportunities for present service among our friends, through an increasing knowledge of Him and of His will for us, and through the strength of associ- tion and fellowship with one another. In accomplishing these ends our weekly devotional meetings and our Bible classes are particularly fruitful. A special effort is made each year in the fall term to reach non-Christians, by a series of Evangelistic meetings. Our in- terest in the grand cause of Home and Foreign missions is kept awake through inspiring missionary meetings held monthly. These are some of our lines of work and some of the ways in which we are enabled to draw near to God, whose we are and whom we serve. We cannot but praise Him for the many and helpful Christian influences with which he surrounds us here and for the part he gives us the opportunity to take in the making of this Christian atmos- phere for others.

PITKIN THE INDEX Published annually by the Junior Class THE CPOST- GRADUATE AND WOOSTER QUARTERLY Edited by S. F. SCOVEL and ELIAS COMPTON THE K M, AND Y, W. C. A, HAND BOOK The University Lecture Course. T HE University Lecture Course was established in the autumn of 1883. The first committee having the matter in charge consisted of Prof. I. C. Sharpe, of l83, now president of Blair Academy, Prof. James Wallace, ,74, now president of MacAlister College and Prof. W. Z. Bennett. The course was established as a means of supplementing the instruction of the University and principally for the beneht of Woo-ter students, though aiming also to furnish instruction and entertainment to the citizens of Wooster as Well. The aim' vvas not at all to make money, So long as expenses were met, the committee was satished. Whatever profits there might be was to go to the library. Since its establishment the course has furnished to Wooster audiences one hundred and seven lectures, concerts, readings and other entertainments. It has paid into the library for the purchase of books in the neighborhood of two thousand dollars. The talent furnished has in the main been satisfactory, but with some lamentable exceptions. In those cases in which the committee has been compelled to depend upon the testimonials of others, the vvorthlessness of such statements has been clearly and sadly demonstrated. 1 Two years ago the committee resolved to make a distinct advance in the quality of the course 5 determined to give the best course of eight numbers, to be had at any price. The result has been most encouraging. Last winter the course included Russell H. Convvell, George R. Wendling, The Listerman String Quartette, The Mozart Symphony Club, Prof. W. M. R. Punch, The Fadettes Wonianis Orchesty, F. Hopkins Smith and Dr. Emile G. Hirsch. The course for the coming year is not yet made out but is intended to be equal or superior to anything yet offered.

REAT enthusiasm has been manifested in base ball this season. We were not aware that inter-collegiate ath- letics had been granted us until about the first of April. However, the announcement was received with great joy on all tides and every one resolved to make a strenuous effort to make a creditable showing the first season. We have succeeded far better than the most sanguine could possibly hope for. True we have not won many games, but we have competed with the the best colleges in the state, namely :- Oberlin, Adelbert, Kenyon and others. College spirit and enthusiasm, which have so long remained dormant, are no longer things of the past, but are stern realities It is an education to come in contact with other college men g to catch an inspiration from their lives and no longer be homely creatures bounded by the limits of our own campus. To our alumni we are indebted both for pecuniary aid also for the great encouragement they have given us. Here's hoping that they will ever keep such a flame kindled in their breasts and it will only be a matter of time until we will be rivalling the large teams of the West for championship honors. May the true spirit of college athletics ever live in the hearts and minds of our students and alumni, and we are sure that the student life of the college will be stronger and more vigorous than ever before.

GOOD, 5Wanager', HE year IQOO heralds the entrance of Wooster University into Inter-Collegiate Athletic Sports, and especially into that typical American college game-Foot Ball. In ,Q2 inter-collegiate games were withdrawn from Wooster University by action of the ruling Synod of Ohio, and were this year given back under the new regime. That Wooster University formerly maintained an enviable reputation in athletics, the records fully show. For several years she held the championship of the state in football as well as base ball. Following is the record of our winning foot-ball team of '92, the last year of athletics unrilthe present time: Wooster vs, Dennison, 58-o. Wooster vs. Kenyon, 30-o. 'Wooster vs. O. S. U., 64-o. Wooster vs. Adelbert, 50-o, Wooster vs, Washington-Jefferson, 6-4. Such a record as this rarely falls to the credit of any school, and one can wonder what kind of men were our mighty men of 392. Surely this is a great heritage and one which must be maintained by us in the next few years. Although YVocster has been out of the ring for many years, yet that her sister colleges still remember their stinging defeats is shown by the readiness with which they have tried to make room for her upon their schedules, although she did not solicit for it until fully two terms of the college year had passed and other schools had in many instances announced their schedules. Ohio State University, Kenyon, Oberlin, Western Reserve, Case School of Applied Science, Ohio Medical Universily, Dennison, Marrietta, Ohio Wesleyan and many others have thus testined their willingness to schedule with us, although on account ofthe lateness of our re' entrance and the conflict of the dates thus ensuing, only certain ones of the above will be met this coming season. The outlook is bright for a successful year and elforts are being used to make the reputation of our school as well known as formerly in this line. f 3 lllll1lll1 G -f i Q ff 1 ea uunndll 2 W L 'I B! 15 if T435 W H f if I ith. 12th. 13th. 15th. 16th 17th.

The glowing heat of summer had shaded off into an even mean of temperature, neither hot nor as yet touched by the chill of winter, Two dispensers of knowledge--the whole-souled, large-hearted, womanly expounder of Goethe and Schiller, and the gentle unobtrusive instructor in the literary beauties of our own mother tongue-having hnished their noon-day meal, set out for a ramble through open fields and groves to commune near to nature's heart. As they strolled along, from time to time giving utterance to the poetic sentiments which arose Within them, the trees bowed to meet them and strewed before their feet a rustling and gorgeous carpeting of golden,red- brown, and parti-colored leaves. Here and there a squirrel ceased for a moment from his work of gathering in his winter's store of nuts, to smile appreciatingly at the happiness of the ramblers. The little brook caught the music of their heart- beats and flowed with a more rnelodious murmur. HE called his Qslightj Wordsworthian knowledge to his aid in interpreting the deeper meanings hidden away in nature's aspectsg SHE quoted some favor- ite, line filled with glowing Teutonic sentiment. Thus occupied, the time passed over them unheeded and swift. Ere they were aware, class- time was almost upon them. Immediately they hasten homeward. In vain is all their speed! Afar off faintly through the quiet air they catch the harsh clangor of the gong. They redouble their speed. With panting breath they enter the University, here they separate. She breathlessly seeks her class-room. She reaches it and lo l with her foot on the threshold, she catches sight of the retreating form of the last conscientious delayer, hears from the distant hall-way the sound of smothered laughter. She glances at her watch. Five minutes too late l Ach well. THE QDROFS. Any old tune--- There is a man at 'Wooster U, And Prexy is his name. He's twice as wide as he is broad, But he gets there just the same. The boys, the profs, the plutocrats, He works them all like sin, And when he hies him forth abroad He rakes the the lucre in, Gosh ! just watch it rolling in I Now ' 'Compy is our little dean, A meak and gentle lamb When in his presence mention Eve, But never say Adam, And Benny who though quite a few Is fewer than he thinks. With S04 and H25 and other things He ne'er forgets his drinks Gee ! what lovely cooling drinks ! There's 'Prexy X a worthy man XVho rolls his eyes around, I hope they'll never roll on me Tlwould mash me in the ground. With porous plasters on his back, A hymn book o'er his heart, No wonder that the Devil ne'er Can pierce him with his dart, Olz ! the Devil's wicked dart ! Old Notey l' is a sly old cuss With grave and solemn air, He is a loaded blunderbuss, Beware, my son, beware ! . But Ajax went to sleep in Greece Ten thousand years ago, And if he's ever waked up since I'm sure I do not know, No ! he never has, we know ! Now, Doc. Mateer's, a jolly old boy As can trace your pedigree Down thro' the early Eocene To a bob-tailed Chimpanzee. On him no faculty suckling freak, Or other measly skunk Can work their innocent games of bluff Sospeak right out or Hunk Say ! you fall hard when you Hunk I Time fails to sing of other profs, Or let the praises roll Of Jackey Black, or Dickey-bird, Ma Ginger, or Charcoal, Of Skinny S., or Sister Krans And all that crazy crew, I wish the bloornin' blessed lot Were safe in Tirnbuctoo, Yes, ,tis Warm in Timbuctoo, S0 now Iyll end my tuneful song And tear myself away, For when the sun shines it is best To manufacture hay, And down the street a block or so I hear them rave and shout, For thirteen profs are on the jump To carve my gizzard out, Gad ! now, don't they Want it out ! 'fir lf y fxgffz D7-Bi'-N5 The Story of Wy Ofwn Life. 6 0 OST fellers when they write about themselves tells a lot of uninterestin' stuff about when they was boys an' how they got their start in the world an' a lot more, I guess maybe they thinks fellers 'ill try to do the same and make themselves great too. With me it's different. If lwas to start in an' tell you all the thingsl done, an' what I seen, it wouldn't help you any, cause there ain't any of you could be as great as I am, no matter what you ever see or done. l After my brother died, he's the one that gave me that ring you may a' heerd about, I ain't carried it much because I don't think its right to make other people feel bad, that can't wear much things, 'bout the only times I had it on is when me an' Guss put up the flag after the Spanish ships was sunk at Santiago, and when I went into the trustee meetin' down to Jesse NlcCIeIlan's, the time I told 'em they could just git somebody else in my place or give me my extra two dollars, and they done it too. Well, after he died I used to hang obout the round-house a lot, and after while I got a job helpin' to clean up the engines. This was just the same to me as what a good many others calls their start in life. It wer'n't long 'till they see I had picked up a heap sight more'n I let on about engines an' things and I soon come into the position of fireman. Gosh! I remember the time Nlcliinley was first elected Governor. I fired up the engine that carried him down to Columbus. Talk about your decorations, you couIdn't see that engine for flowers, me 'n the engineer must a' spent six hun- dred C5600.00j dollars on decorations. I wouldn't a done it fer nobody else but Nlack. He allus treated me O. K. and he was a durn good fellow. I-Ie used to come around the yard when I'd be oilin' up or takin' on coal, an' he'd set there a whole mornin' whittlin' an' talkin' about things, an' I remember sayin' to the engineer then, I says, George, just mark my word, I says, if Bill McKinley ain't President some day and it come true, but that ain't nothin', there's lots of things I knowed the same way. an' I often says to Guss, you mark my word. I says, if so and so don't happen, and it allus does. The night them freshmen put up their flag, after we ketched J. Nl. H-r-y in Frenchie's room, I told Guss we'd better stay up an' fTl:iis antobiograph was Written exclusively for the INDEX by Mr. Hammer and is the only authenicated version of how he rose from a poor boy to the position of furnace tender and night watchman at this Universityj watch, but Gust he says No, we've scared 'em 'bout enough, I guess they won't bother us no more to-night, he says, an' that's how the flag-pole come to be busted. If Gust had a let me have my way 'bout it, that flag wouldn't a been there ag long as it was neither. I wanted to go out some night and take my llttle twenty-two an' shoot the rope off, but Guss wouldn't listen to it. He said I could try it with blank cartridges if I wanted, but it was too risky too shoot real bullets, and anyhow the trustees wouldn't allow it. Gosh! I remember the time I Hrst come here, I'd been here about a week, an' one night, it was the day Scovel come down to my kitchen door ant stopped my wife fryin' potatoes because the smell went up through the buildin' and made the fellows hungry, an' anxious to get out of their classes. I was just gettin' to bed, when I hear a door open, I sneaked up stairs in my stockin' feet, an' there I seen somebody a tryin' to get into Bennett's class-room. After l'd sneaked up behind U16 Stairs, I gOt H bead 011 'CHL HH' H1611 I Says Who's there? an' nobody answered, then I says louder, Who's there? answer, l'll shoot. An' somebody yells out, It's me, don't shoot! don't shoot! and if it weren't old Benny himself. Well, sir, he was plumb scairt, an' so was I. My finger was just tremblin' on the trigger, nigh enough to set it off. I often wished it had. The fellows got onto it somehow. Bennett must a told some one, for I ain't never said nothin' to nobody- I ain't that kind--and how since then they're all afraid to come around after dark if I'm in the buildink The boys could burn the old buildin' down fer all I cared, rumage 'bout every night, but Gust he says different, an' bein' as how he's a relative of Capt. Kanke, I got to do the way he wants me. 'Aving pranks around the University is one thing, and I've never let out 'bout lots of it, but meddlin' with my pri- vate house is different an' if I ever ketch that young Sh-p 'round my kitchen door again, an' I says the same thing to Dicky at the time. I'll just take an' k-- welll ain't no boastin' man, so I won't say nothin'. If the fellows want to paint the tower or the gym. or put up any flags on the buildin' I don't care a d- an' I knowed every one on 'em that done it too, but I won't hev any of 'em comin' 'round back of the buildin' an' scaring me. They tried it onct or twict already an' I guess they won't do it any more. They can all call me Emmet Shotgun all they want, an' let on to themselves that I couldn't hit the side of a barn, but they're pretty careful not to wake me up when they're prowlin' 'round the campus. I guess I'm known to most people 'round here, because I'm such a good detective, but I don't see nothin' in that. There ain't nothing hard 'bout bein' a detective if you've just got plenty of brains and a good imagination. The brains ain't the perticularest part neither. Lots of times l've found out things just by usin' my imagination. If I was asked to tell the secret of my success in the world, I would say at once its owin' to my good imagination. I jgot into this business because it comes natural to me, just like lyin' does to some fellows. But I never told on only one fellow since I been here, an' he dared me to do it. I allus tells Gust you see, an' he tells the faculty. Don't say nothin' to him 'bout it though, he might'n like it. A good many people seem to think bein' a janitor is a cinch, but they'd a find out different if they had to sit up every other night an' watch the buildin'. In the spring its not so hard for we walk 'round outside an' kin keep wake easier. I'm awful glad I can live in a college town, I heard Scovel say to his class once when I was Hxing the steam pipes in his room, that man is a social animal, an' he was 'bout right. A good many people think that me an' Gust are always hangin' around to get something to eat when we go to class socials, but we don't do it fer that at all, we're just cultivatin' the social side of our natures, and I guess all we ever eat has been more an' paid for by the good turns we do fer the com- mitrees. I'd like to tell about some of the daring adventures an' hair-breadths escapes I've had since I come to this place. They're all in the minutes of the faculty's meetin' though, an' of course they,re too sacred to publish. I guess this is all fer this time an' I want to thank the INDEX Board for publishin' this here an' Dr. Wallace Notestein fer his trouble in writin' it for me. EMMET HAMMER QX His Nlarkj.

I-Iave you ever heard, O Most Worthy Young One, how the 1901 Index came to be? You shake your head 5 therefore shall I proceed to relate. Firstly, let it be known that the Index is calculated to gull an unsophisticted public. Now, according to the Legends of our Forebears the editors of Index were supposed to be the meanest of each tribe, selected by lot. Hence it was the right of each and every one to vilify and threaten the board of publication lest something horrid be said of them. And strange to relate, each and every one imagined about half the book to be devoted to them, which, by all the gods at once, was a most grievous mistake. Some indeed who were mentioned not from cover to cover, were pleased to threaten fiercely, at which the board of literary bandits smiled up its boardly sleeve and winked its boardly other eye. As to the board itself, being eminently an organization for the dissemination of heavy literature, interlarded with lurid slices of wit and humor, the members were chosen, not at all unnaturally, with no reference in the least to literary ability, each one being selected for the most part because some one else declined. This being the case the board naturally assumed huge literary arrogance, used the blue pencil and scissors quite irrelevantly, criticised every one else's Work caustically, and did nothing themselves. So that from this new-found literary arrogance each board derived the notion that it was infinitely better than any other board which had ever gone before, being infinitely more literary in its nature, more business-like, more witty, and more wise. At which of course the gullible public smiled sympathet- ically. Now IQOI,S Board had at length organized, having been under various forms of government for a term. In this short time there had been four editors-in-chief, three business managers, two secre'aries, and a deal of unprintable language. At length, however, the matter had been settled, to the huge dissatisfaction of those spectators who were enjoying the fun, the Board had kissed and made up, figuratively speaking of course, and the sulphurous haze had cleared off. O, Most Noble Young One, for many years this Index had been an abomination in the eyes ofthe faculty, smelling of brimestone and bristling with aggressive Greek characters, so that they, the faculty, had been fain to handle it with coal tongs and disinfect the place later, lest the moral contamination spread. But this particular Board, having been made happy in the promise of a newness of things, proceeded to stare conditions out of countenance, and their heads began to swell directly with a Herce, unholy pride in the glory of the glorious book that was to be. But the Business Manager woke up and spoke oracularly. He said: O, Most Worthy, a house of stone is not built upou sand, neither is an edihce of heavy literature erected upon sand. NVherefore it is imperative that we entice a few dollars hitherwardf' The 'Editor-in-Chief, who had been winding his Watebury watch for the thirty-minutes preceding, leaped with undissembled glee. I have it E he exclaimed in a voice that could be heard all over the Cottage on the Hill. I have it. They asked him if it were contagious, but he said: O, Most Worthy, there is a king of gold-bugs who makes his lair in the wilds of Louisville, Kentucky. This man is addicted to politics and lectures. You all know him, for his name is Henry Watterson, the editor of the Courier- Journal, and one of the greatest Democrats of modern times. My children, let us telegraph our baby. Yes, indeed, let us do it. And so they rushed forth in mad haste to adveitise the coming of this king of gold-bugs long ere they knew for sure that he could come. The day was bitter cold and the wind blew from the north, the west, the east and south 5 it froze their hands and ears, but they rushed on, leaving in their wake seven hundred dodgers, forgetful of their hands and ears, for the spirit had come down on them, bidding them gull the public. But hnally, when, weary with their toil, they sat around the Business Manager's pipe a-thawing out their ears, there came a telegram. And after they had finished quarreling as to who should pay for it, the lecture, was, by force of circumstances postponed two weeks, they looked at one another solemnly and swore. And then the Editor-in-Chief rose up in dignity and stalked forth into the gathering shades of night, hieing himself unto the Kiefer Club, whose hash he did pnrvey. Here in an absent-minded way he ate a mighty feast and straightway grew most ghastly sick and would see no man, so that he was gone from out amongst them for a time. O, Most Dutiful Young One, you must learn of the advertising methods used by the Wild and Woolly West- erner, particularly Woolly. How he hired two Italian kidlets named Denizetti and Mascagni, respectively, to bear forth upon the traffic-groaning streets some placards telling in few but mighty words of Henry Watterson, the Editor of the Courier-Journal, and One of the Greatest Democrats of Modern Times. And when the placards had been prepared the Woolly Westerner stood upon the other foot awhile, after which he drew forth from his pockets a coin of most delusive dimensions which he distributed among Mascagni and Donizetti, saying: O, most hideously dirty and filthy ragamuffins, do thou go forth and disport thyselves among the multitude, rendering service unto me in lieu of this coin, which I now disburse between you, charging you to be faithful according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth notf, And lo! they went forth and wended their way 'round the corner to a vacant lot where they cast the sandwich placards from them as things accursed, so that the multitude knew not, nor heard at all of the 'coming of the King of the Gold-Bugs, the Editor of the Courier-journal. Hence it came that the Editors of the Index arose in their wrath, meaning to smite the said Donizetti and Mascagni hip and thigh, for they had forgotten that Vengence is mine, saith the the Lord, a saying that is quite true, for they could not lay their hand upon them. At length the great day came. The blear-eyed, boozy old sun arose late in the morning, looking for all the world as if he had been out all night and just got up to superimpose the pump-spout on his throbbing head. So that forthwith it began to rain, a dreary, dark, damp drizzle. At ten it rained a steady rain. At half-past ten the water came by schoonersful, at eleven by the bucketful, and at noon it fell by barrels. And the face of the earth was about as cussed-looking as could be. But the members of the Index Board kept bobbing up serenely keeping tally on the ticket seller in the newstand of Monsieur Horn. By the shades of Ishmael, how it did rain I And how much of wetness the rain contained I When the king of gold-bugs stepped forth upon the depot platform and saw the water standing around in puddles and staring him in the face, he, being a Kentuckian, was much annoyed. And now, O Most Noble Young One, you must know how the multitude did gather to hear the Greatest Democrat of Modern Times. At seven o'clock there was a rush of three people at the main entrance. At seven-Hfteen the crowd had increased to a dozen, and at seven-twenty the kicks upon the panels of the door became so terrinc that His Most Serene Highness, the manager of the amphitheater, saw it to throw it open to the public. The multitude came for the most part in pairs, trailing mud and dripping umbrellas in their wake and trying very hard to look con' tented. And the gallery groand beneath the combined weight of fourteen people, of whom tive paid. While the multitude sat below in the dusk and coughed, for the building had been only half lighted and half heated by His Most Serene Highness. By-and-by he appeared, the Editor of the Courier-Journal, and One of the greatest Democrats of Modern Times. As he waited with majestic composure for the running down of the Honorable John, by way of amusement he fell to counting the backs of the ive hundred empty seats confronting him, so that he grew so discouraged and cried out in spirit to know what awfulness of sin had brought this judgment on him. Rising to speak, he was greeted by a chorus of coughs, some deep basso-profundo coughs, others more shrilly treble, being of the feminine persuasion. He spoke simply, telling of the wondrous virtues of Mr. Lincoln in tones that pierced his hearers' hearts-telling how he had learned to be truthful for fear his old dad would lick him-and many other soul-stirring incidents that helped to fill in. When he told at last how the cowardly assassin had succeeded in hitting him with a horse-pistol at the distance of six feet, the multitude wept and coughed at once, burying their emotion in their pocket-handkerchiefs. And what a storm of applause arose at the finish of the lecture when all realized that there was nothing more to come ! The great gloomy-eyed multitude went forth into the night, wondering how much the Index Board owed, telling each other that they had enjoyed themselves immensely and that it had been a really good lecture, as if any one had ever doubted it. After it all, the board of literary bandits, save only the gentler, fairer portion, did hie themselves unto the domicile of the Honorable John, being moved thereto by a courtly intimation of luscious bivalves and cigars galore, both flavored by the sprightly discourse of the Courier-Journal's Editor, He Being One of the Greatest Democrats of Modern Times. And the Honorable John gave them the' glad hand, speaking at much length of the glorious time of youth, so that the bandits felt a pleasure in their callow youth, and smoked and pocketed a box-full of cigars in great contentment. Then the Honorable Henry spoke prophetically of the coming presidential rumpus and the editors of the 'or Index held their ears erect in rapt attention. When the time came for departure the Business Manager reached forth and solemnly hooked a half a dozens more cigars, and they went forth in the night, cigar-laden and quite hilarious in their inmost hearts. Rejoicing thus in spirit they then wended their devious way unto the Pennsylvania depot and yelled right lustily as the train pulled out and bore the Honorable Henry Watterson, the Editor of the Courier-Journal, and One of the Greatest Democrats of 'Modern Times away toward the rising of the sun. O, Most Worthly Young One, it is due to you to tell what happened after this. They hailed a cab and tumbled in pell-mell, but Ending there was far too great a muchness of things with ive inside, two of the editors essayed to sit upon the top, but this was fool-hardy, for one of them fell oh' and tore his mackintosh from the bottom straightway to the top and gently swore unto himself. VVhereat the others snickered and kicked their terra-firma-ed heels against the battered timbers of the cab. And when they reached the Cottage on the Hill, they found the editor-in-Chief was badly tangled in the mazes of that cab. So that they yanked him forth with more perhaps ot' energy than he could relish. Then linking arm in arm they gave forth divers yells of low and high degree till Morpheus stopped his ears and fled in dire dismay. Whereupon exulting in this victory, for fear of the police they scattered to their separate domiciles and sought oblivion of their aching heads in gentle slumber. .And now, Most Worthy Young One, you have heard of the coming of the Honorable Henry Watterson5 the Editor of the Courier-journal, and One of the Greatest Democrats, of Modern Times. So take yourself straight off to bed, and sometime in the by-and-by I shall tell you more of the doings of the 'or Index Board.

'Twas midnight of this moonlit night when three darkly clad Hgures, on mischief bent, left the highly respectable pre- cinct of North Market street and, with stout hearts and an eighteen foot ladder, turned toward the forbidding pile which crowns the Hill, By following lanes and back streets the well-known campus was reached, and the hgures proceeded without delay to ascend the fire escape of the main building. Here the ticklish work begins. How did they know that Shotgun Hammer was not at that very moment getting a bead upon a vital part? Over the campus also, lay Chief Mogul Eberley, the vigilant one, ever watchful of his valuable charge, and ever ready to 4'pinch an unsuspecting victim. However, the main building was reached without mishap, although the noise made in cross- ing the tin roof rolled back across the valley with power, 'twould seem, to waken anything, even the dead and buried college spirit of Wooster's palmy days. Perched upon the ledge surrounding the main tower, the figures viewed the beautiful expanse of country spread out in the moonlight, and debated which would be most likely to reach the ground first, were they to tumble off. With much care and waste of nervous tissue the ladder was carried around to the front ledge of the tower and placed upright. Without delay one of the figures ascended and proceeded to adorn the bull's eye with the figures of that year which is to open the great twentieth century, IQOI. When the first rays of sunlight ushered in the new-born day, old Sol must have smiled to him- self to see heralded the coming birth of the new century from the old weather beaten tower of Wooster U, and, methinks, surprise had been entirely wanting had he been greeted with 1701, as being more in harmony with the surroundings, But alas, for the pride engendered by fancied superiority, for, after being the Uobserved of all observersv for a few days, 1901 is found changed to IQOO. The blind and ignorant followers of an age long past had dexteriously transformed the 1 into 0. The followers of 1901 were defeated, but not vanquished, and immediately began active prepara- tions for a new assault. This was made a few nights later and the old tower was rescued from its disgraceful condition and once more made self- respecting by having 1901 imprinted upon its face. All Went well until the descent down the fire escape was begun, When, whom should they see coming around the corner of the building but Chief Mogul Eberley. The terrified painters hastened to the top of the building, but not in time to avoid being seen. Tearing off the trap door they descended into the upper story of the building where they secreted paint and brushes. By this time the faithful assistants of the Janitor had been summoned and stationed at the bottom of either fire escape, and the Head Protector himself started for the top of the building, by way of the inside stairs. Let the curtain drop here, with every avenue of escape blocked, there could be but one ending. Sufficient to say that the old tower of Wooster U bore 1901 upon its face to the end of its days., and thus acted as a monument to that class, the greatest which ever entered the university, and greater than which the faculty can never hope to graduate. Q4 Leiter fo Dear Pa. WoosTER, O., Apr. 14, rgoo. DEAR PA:-Sal and I got thro our first week of skool alright und I will right und tell you how we got along.

'Johnny's Ten Commandments to His Roomers. I. And 'L Johnny spake these words saying, I am thy landlord which have enticed thee from the comforts of home and mother's pies into the house of bondage. Thou shalt pay thy room rent to no other but me. II. Thou shalt wipe thy feet upon the door- mat, and when thou thinkest they are clean thou Shalt Wipe them once more. V III. Thou shalt not take the name of thy landlord in vain for I will not hold him bounceless that calleth me Johnny IV. Remember the ten olclock rule. Twelve hours shalt thou labor and study, but after ten thou shalt cease even to Whistle. V. Honor Mary and me that thy days may be long in the house which thy landlord built. VI. Thou shalt not commit rough house. VII. Thou shalt take but one bath a week. VIII. Thou shalt not monkey with the speaking tube. IX. Thou shalt tell me the deeds of thy room-mate. X. Thou shalt use the soap edge Wise that thou mayest be economical and not waste the goods which thy landlord giveth thee. This Weary World. There came one day up the Cottage walk A familiar form, and a face she knew And the maiden jnrnped from her easy chair And straight to her looking glass she Hew. 'Oh fasten this collar, room-mate sweet, And tell me Whether my hair is straight, For So-and-So's Corning up the street And 'Pd be sorry to make him wait. She stood a moment before the glass, Putting in place each little curl, While the door bell rang on the floor below, And So and So asked for another girl.' 1 Parody-Wordsworth. My heart leaps up when I behold, Kraus sitting up on high, So is it when the class begins, So is it when the old boy grins, So be it too, when he grows old, Or let me die! Young Krans will sometimes be a rnan, And I do hope his days Will be Bound each to each in natural piety. ,, ' -me ' , For .ef 4 '2?. ' W b Z- ?xK gk?

Professor and janitor connected with this pedestal of erudition, and that the faculty of this said knowledge-box, Should out of consideration of our invaluable services and great labor, excuse us from a proportional amount of work in the lower branches ot study commonly pursued in this institution 5 and that a suitable ornament of white marble, twelve cubits in width and ten cubits and three ells in height, should be erected on the campus of this, the the exies charge, upon which should be inscribed the debt of gratitude owed to us-by humanity and this institu- tion.

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 Craighead's as the one place where the palate can best be pleased. On Saturday night in particular they come into our store and buy Candies, Pickles, Olives, Crackers and Fruits. We have got the bulk of their trade because we have always been particular to handle exactly what they Want. We try hard to please them better than any one else, and our efforts are appre- ciated. Craighead's Candies are the especial favorites of the lady students, and the boys like them just about as well too. We make nearly all our Candies. This insures purity and fresh- nesss We think our wa of turnin su ar into Candies G l.. I V of all kinds is unsurpassed anywhege. gfhey are dainty, C K E delicious, Wholesome and healthful. Our Pickles, Olives, Fancy Cakes and Crackers come from the best houses we CANDIES FANCY CAKES P can find. The next best or the 'f pretty good 'l is not good enough for our customers. All Fruits are kept in season. Often you can get at our store fruits which other dealers do not have. NVe are the first grocers in XVooster to get the new crops, and the last to get the last crops. Our prices are unquestionably the lowest in town. Comparison at any time will prove that. And we give the money back at PICKLES H FRUITS We Want the trade of every lady and gentleman student in the University. In return for it we promise the most and the best for the money paid us.
