Colorado College is the oldest institution of higher education in the State. This familiar legend we find inscribed in the front of our catalogues, and all like appropriate places. And to those of us who have entered in but recent years, a conception of this beginning very probably embraces the present Cam- pus, with, perhaps, the exception of Palmer Hall. A little curiosity, however, very quickly shows us our mistake. Established in 1874. Colorado Springs itself but three years old. Colorado not admitted to Statehood until ' 76. Denver approximating some ten thousand inhabitants, the Springs boasting but fifteen hundred. Ever notice from one of the many vantage points of the nearby mountains what a little splash on the rolling landscape before you Colorado Springs really makes? Cut that m half, divide the remainder by two, bunch what is left around Pike ' s Peak and Cascade Avenues, and your first result will leave the Campus somewhere a mile or so to the north, out on the prairie, lost in weeds, sagebrush and sand. So let us forget the reality of today and go back to the beginning; to Colorado Springs in ' 74 — a clump of log cabins and shacks, sunshine and dreams, dreams, dreams. Prof Kerr, the oldest professor now resident in the Springs, talks most interestingly of those early days. He says: I came over to Colorado Springs, was told that there were here two thousand people. There did not appear, however, to be more than half that number. It becoming known that I had been connected with the University of Mis- souri, and was the head of the Normal School in southeast Missouri, everybody seemed to think he must talk school to me, and the main subject I heard discussed was the mak- ing of this prospective city a great center of learning. One man, I think it was Major McAllister, said: ' There are millions of people who cannot live in the East and who are looking for just such a place as this, where they can enjoy, without money and without effort, the grandest mountain scenery of the world, drink the life-giving waters of Man- ltou, charged with sulphur for the skin, soda for the stomach, and iron for the blood; where they can grow strong and happy in the finest climate ever let loose from the hands of the Creator, and where, under their own watchful eyes, they can give their children a princely education. ' I ventured to ask where the College buildings were. ' Don ' t have any, ' was the reply. ' Don ' t need any, yet. A room or two will be enough to start with. This is a land where things grow. All that is necessary here is to plant the seed — college seed, if you please — sprinkle a little water over it, and it will grow. I tell you it will grow. ' Well, I didn ' t dare say it wouldn ' t. The man was too much m ear- nest, and I was too far away from home. Speaking of life in those days, he says: In 1875 I was living in the frame house 14 w O w O u o Q O -i o u now on the southeast corner of Yampa and Nevada. This was, at that time, the far- thest house north; and is still standing, a relic of those early days. Coming home one evening about dusk I found the doors and windows barricaded with chairs, tables, and, in fact, about all the movable household furniture, Fffecting an entrance, I found my children in a terrible fright, caused by the appearance of some five hundred Indians, who were encamped a few hundred yards from the house. They were Utes, camping as is Indian custom, on the outskirts of the town, while they did their trading, buying of supplies, etc. This was the last visit of Indians in a body to the Springs. The place where they encamped is the site of the present Science Building. When the Colorado Springs townsite was laid out, it was agreed on the part of the projectors that they would do three things to make good homes for all comers. First, they should have a temperance community. This was assured by a clause in the sale of any land that it reverted to the Colorado Springs Company if saloons were erected on it. Second, they would beautify the town. Third, they would have an intelligent com- munity, and the very best educational privileges. When, therefore, the Association of Congregational Churches of Colorado instructed a committee with Prof. T. N. Haskell as chairman to ascertain what opportunities there were for founding a higher institution of learning in Colorado under Congregational aus- pices, the founders of Colorado Springs made them an offer, including a college site of twenty acres, with seventy acres of unsold lots within the corporation limits. Proposals had been received from Greeley and from several other places, but at the General Congregational Conference in Denver, January 20, 1874, it was decided without a dissenting vote to undertake at once the establishment of a Christian College in Colorado under Congregational auspices, having a board of trust not less than twelve, nor more than eighteen men, two-thirds of whom must be members of evangelical churches, and that Colorado Springs was the most suitable site for it. The need and purpose of such a college is spoken of in the first catalogue pub- lished. It was very natural that the General Conference should decide to undertake at once to establish a Christian college in Colorado. It is true that there are few Con- gregationalists in Colorado, and that they are not wealthy; but Congregationahsts were few and poor in Massachusetts when they founded Harvard, and fewer and poorer in Connecticut when they laid the foundation of Yale. The demand here is greater than it was in the colonies. Colorado had last year a school population of 1 6,000. It surely is not too soon to make provision for the liberal education of some of these youth. New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming with a combined population of about 400,000, need a college nearer than the distant Pacific coast. New Mexico needs common school teachers in great numbers to prepare her population for the duties of citizens. These teachers ought to be prepared for their work in an institution very near her borders. New Mexico will need, also, preachers of the gospel to save her people from the infidelity which so often succeeds release from the thralldom of superstition. 1 he College was under no ecclesiastical or political control. Members of different churches and of no church were on its Board of Trustees. Its Faculty was to be selected with no other limitations than that they should be Christian men, with special fitness to teach the studies of their department. Quoting from The Mecca of February 22, 1902: To be a Christian college, then, was the ideal originally proposed for it. The sense in which its founders understood the terms ' college ' and ' Christian ' is well indicated 16 eoloyafro Concur ITcarlloofe ll ugfjt-Sc cii in a sentence from their first announcement: ' The character which is most desired for this College is that of thorough scholarship and fervent piety, each assisting the other, and neither ever offered as a compensation for the defects of the other. ' The ideal of a Christian college is a large one. It is not attained in the first year. It is not attained in the twenty-eighth year. We do not know exactly how full an equip- ment, how universal an outlook upon science, the first builders pictured to themseives as the fulfillment of the desire of their hearts. Certainly it was larger than they saw in the actual institution of that time. Almost as certainly it was much smaller than has since been realized. But their ideal, like every noble ideal, expanded as they worked up into it. It will expand for hundreds of years to come. As the first in the state, in point of time, it received and still bears the name of Colorado College. The University of Colorado did not open until ' 77; the initial term of the State Agricultural College began in ' 79; while the University of Denver and the State School of Mines began in 1 880. Thus, in two rooms in the second floor of the Wanless building (now the First National Bank block) Colorado College was started under such auspices, and with such ideals as Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, Williams and Amherst of New Eng- land, Oberlin of Ohio, Olivet of Michigan, Beloit and Ripan of Wisconsin, Carleton of Minnesota, Iowa at Grinnel, Oakland in California, Pacific University of Oregon, and many others, had already been founded. Prof. T. N. Haskell was financial agent; Rev. Jonathan Edwards was professor in charge; Prof. French of Chicago taught whatever he could not get others to teach; Mr. S. C. Robinson of Gunnison had a class in mathematics and another in physics, and the Rev. E. N. Bartlett was instructor in Latin. In the winter of ' 74 the College moved into their first school building, a two-room frame structure on the corner of Platte avenue and Tejon street, west of Acacia park, as it was then called. In 1875 Rev. Jas. G. Dougherty was made first president of Colo- rado College, succeeding Dr. Edwards, who had resigned. 1 he times were hard. It was a time of financial distress the whole country over. T he infant institution, but barely on its feet, fought its way from day to day, refusing to be downed. On every side was seen only discouragement and despair. Colorado Springs had no financial basis and never could have. Sneering, contemptuous words everywhere were heard about the idea of establishing a college here. There is no more chance of establishing an efficient college here than there is of establishing springs here, said one. Why, the idea of a college here is simply an outgrowth of a scheme to bunco people out of hard-earned money, a New England deacon is quoted as saying, of whom ' tis added, his daily prayer was to get money enough to carry him back to old Connecticut. Hundreds of people left ; other hundreds remained only because they could not get away. It was against such conditions that President Dougherty struggled. He k pt the College alive. No greater praise could be spoken of him. He planned wisely, worked faithfully and sacrificed much health, time and money to lay proper foundations. Under other circumstances his sacrifices and his labors would certainly have been more effective. He soon went East, however, and Prof. Jas. H. Kerr was left in charge. He had one assistant, Miss Mary C. Mackenzie, afterwards Mrs. Frederick E. Robinson. They gave their best of heart and time, to carrying on of the work. In 1876 Rev. E. P. Tenney was called to the presidency. When he came there 17 Colorado College 3Tr r lloofc If attfttyt-Setoen was no property except some seven hundred dollars in a mortgaged budding and lot, and there were debts for services rendered, etc., equal at least to the value of the property. A general reorganization was effected. Certain Massachusetts gentlemen (Jas. G. Butt- rick, Samuel Crooks, Henry Cutler, A. A. Sweet, B. T. Thompson and E. H. Cutler) agreed upon the recommendation of the American College and Educational Society, which had adopted the College as one of its beneficiaries, to aid it so far as it should seem wise to do so. They pledged certain money to the endowment of the College, which made it possible for the work to be carried forward with renewed vigor. President Tenney was a worker. He had great faith in the high mission of the College. He had great plans for its future and did not spare himself in his efforts to bring them to realization. Quoting one who knew him and worked with him: God forbid that we should overlook, or fail to do justice to, that worker, who, in the late seventies, brought the first enduring strength to Colorado College, and who grandly organized the scattered philan- thropic forces east and west in the interest of practical learning When the books in which are recorded the acts of those who gave themselves to Colorado College are opened there will be found written in letters of gold, large enough to be read even by those who run, the name of one whose good deeds and noble motives will grow brighter with each rising of the sun, as long as Colorado College has an existence — the name of that prince of optimists, ex-President E. P. Tenney. As an insight into the devotion, the noble, heroic unselfishness of those in whose hands the life of the College was then entrusted, the following report speaks eloquently: In respect to the salaries of the instructors it is suitable to say that the President has, in three years (from ' 76 to ' 79) relinquished $1,740 of the amount legally due him from the College, and that his service for the College has put him to the loss of almost as much more; that he has subscribed to the endowment books, to be paid by bequest, a sum exceeding all that he has received from the College in three years ; that he has subscribed to the endowment as much as he has received in two years, to be paid within a given time from his salary, unless he finds some one else to pay it, and that he has insured his life for the benefit of the College to such an amount as to make it sure that the College will continue its work in case the Lord prefers to have him work else- where. ¥ Prof. Kerr has given to the College most valuable services without charge, and paid out for the College several hundred dollars. Prof. Loud has most generously denied himself in this work. It will require time, patience, hard work, unquestioning faith and abundant bless- ings of Providence to establish the College upon a sound basis. It is not perhaps too much to say that the outlook for the future of Colorado College is hopeful. Whether or not the ' fruit thereof shall be like Lebanon ' depends upon One who is able to make it grow, but it is certain that there is now a ' handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains. ' Have faith in God. According to your faith be it unto you. In 1877 the catalogue shows: 1 Sophomore, 2 Freshmen (College); 22, Prepar- atory School; 25, Normal School; 16, Special; 66, in all departments. In this catalogue appears the name of Frank H. Loud (Amherst), A. B., Pro ' , of Mathematics. The next year we find five students registered in the College proper. In July, 1878, Salt Lake Academy and Santa Fe Academy were opened in these respective cities, under the auspices of the College. They ranked, practically, as prepar- 18 Colorado College ¥cat ool; If Attflfjf-Scfrcu atory schools of the College. Prof. Strieby was preceptor of the Santa Fe Academy for the next two years, coming then to Colorado College to organize the department of Chemistry and Metallurgy, which he has been at the head of ever since. Beginning 1 880 these academies were turned over to the management of the New West Educational Commission. This year the College was divided into three terms, the tuition twenty-five dollars a year. In 1881, under Prof. Strieby, special courses in Assaying, Blow-piping and Chem- ical Analysis were offered for students who have not the time for a regular course in Mining Engineering. Sinc ' e 1876 instruction in Mining and Metallurgy and in related studies had been carried on under Prof. Kerr. Of this department the announcement reads: Students admitted at any time, and the period required for anyone to complete a course will de- pend entirely upon his capacity and energy. In 1880 the course of instruction included: ] — College course for degree of B. A. 2 — Preparatory School. 3 — Normal School. 4 — Mining, Metallurgy and winter scientific studies. . 5 — The Cutler Training School. The winter scientific studies embraced Chemistry, Geology, Surveying, Assaying, Blow-piping and Mineralogy and Physics. The session lasted six months, from Novem- ber 1 to May 1 . This course was well attended, many students coming in during the winter months to pick up a little schooling, then out again for the summer, prospecting, working in mines, on ranches and the like. The Cutler Training School was designed to fit pupils for special forms of Christian work in the new West. The instruction was adapted to the wants of the student, having reference to his previous mental discipline and attainments and his contemplated field of work. It was during this year the Rev. George N. Maiden came, as Professor of History, Political Science and Metaphysics. An interesting item is found in regard to making expenses. The work is usually farm labor in summer, and in the wcodyard in winter, wages 1 5 cents per hour. Prof. Tenney did everything in his power to help those who wished to earn their way. He built irrigating ditches, barbed wire fences, established a woodyard, ran a dairy, etc. The bulletin goes on: No incompetent persons, or those unwilling to earn what they receive, are employed. Idlers at once discharged! During the late seventies, active canvassing had been going on to secure money to aid in building Palmer Hall. Tradition tells an interesting anecdote in that connec- tion. Among the most energetic canvassers for the building fund was Helent Hunt Jackson (H. H.), who drove over the country among the ranches, soliciting subscrip- tions. At one place a ranchman ' s wife, having no money, contributed four pounds of butter from her morning ' s churning; and at a fair then being held for the benefit of the College, this butter netted one hundred and eighty dollars. On May 31, 1882, was dedicated Palmer (now Cutler) Hall; the first of the stone buildings on the Campus. It did not then have the two wings; they were added later. President Tenney had postponed his inaugural address until this occasion. 19 His address celebrated, then, both the dedication of the College building and his inauguration as president. He gave a splendid idea of the early life and difficulties of some of our now famous institutions of learning, showing that Colorado College might at least lay claim to as promising a beginning. I quote from it in part: Our graduation class of two is as many as Amherst began with; twice as many as the Yale first class, and one-third the number of the first graduates of Princeton. The first class of Harvard went forth six years after the first steps were taken to found the University; the same time that has now elapsed since the revival of our College. So that in these points our first Commencement is as honorable as the beginning of the fore- most colleges of the land. When Dartmouth College, beginning as an Indian charity school, was removed to its present location, the first exercises were held in a hut of logs about eighteen feet square, without stone, brick, glass or nail; in which was housed President Wheelock ' s family. Bowdoin, the alma mater of Longfellow, be- gan its work in a small building, and the first call for prayers or recitation was the pres- idential cane, rapping on the stairs. During more than a score of years at the begin- ning of Yale College, they not only had no building of their own, but the entire fac- ulty did not exceed three or four tutors and the president, who spent no small portion of his time in financiering, as if he had been in a Western college. When Harvard was one hundred and forty years old, the faculty consisted of the president, three professors and one tutor. Princeton, the log college of New Jersey, had only twelve thousand dollars of endowment at a time when she had sent forth twenty-seven hundred graduates. If, therefore, we have not been able, in these early years of Colorado College, to rival the great schools of the East in their maturity, we may, in the hour of their wealth and their fame, lay claim at least to a beginning as promising as they had. The dedication of the first permanent college building might well be taken as end- ing the first epoch in the history of the College. Over almost insurmountable obstacles it had triumphed thus far. It had been born in a spirit of faith and of prayer. The first motto had been, Nil Sine Christo, Nothing without Christ; after ' 76, changed to Nil Desperandum Christo Duce, Never de- spair with Christ for leader. From the first the fortunes of the College had been in the most unselfish and devoted hands. In their reports we find such words as these: And we pray every day that we may have no more money unless the Lord will also give us wisdom for using his money to advantage. In the face of every discouragement, through the darkest days, they worked on cheerfully, faithfully; giving time, health, money and all the enthusiasm of noble hearts consecrated to a great purpose. Well may we be proud of our College spirit! The Tiger spirit! It had its incep- tion in the lives of those who thus made it possible for our College to be what it is today. And when the old, old tingling wells up, throbbing through our veins in all its intensity, bringing the tears to our eyes, and a huskiness to our voices, we might well bare our heads to those early heroes who labored before the dawn with never a fear that the day was not coming. With the dedication of Palmer Hall then, the College entered upon its second era. The first was a struggle for the right to live, the second might be called a struggle to maintain this right. Efficiency, now, more than ever, was their ideal. From the first the founders had been jealous of their degrees. Preferring to give few, rather than give such as should be of low estimation. None were given under President Dougherty. Un- 20 Colo i afro Co cgr¥car l ool; 11,tHfll)t-Sct oi der President Tenney, the number was very small, though of the men who studied under him and went elsewhere for a degree, the proportion of first-rate students was remarkable. Many years later, President Dwight of Yale, in speaking of Colorado College, with Professor Kerr, who was visiting there, said that they had received a num- ber of pupils who had been prepared for college, or who had taken the first year or so, at Colorado College, and then came there to complete their courses, and that after the first one-third, they had not had one who had fallen below standard. That there was only one other institution in the West that had shown an equal record. President Tenney struck the keynote of their intention to build up this reputation when he said: Our printed course of study represents not what we should teach, not what we expect to teach, but what we have been able to teach with the force at hand. Of their ideal of what made the College, he said: We must not, however, in looking at our comely walls of stone, forget what after all constitutes the College. Not walls, not dormitories, not libraries, not museums, not laboratories, but living men, make the Col- lege ; mature students aiding these younger — this is the College. The personal char- acter of the men who teach is the most important factor. Was not Socrates a Univer- sity? Was not Plato a school? More stimulating to youth than all books, is the liv- ing instructor, guiding to the discovery of life ' s best discipline and award. ¥ The instructor — is the College. • But the hardy little institution was called on to fight all manner of discouragements: Sickness, financial reverses, and shifting population many times left some of the pro- fessors practically classless. Interest in broader scholarship and culture was sadly lacking; the community seemed to have lost its power of educational orientation. Plans failed to materialize. Money had to be raised at almost any sacrifice, and valuable property was parted with. Still the demands came pouring in. In 1 885 President Tenney left. The darkest era was closing down on them. The era before the dawn, for the College had now as ever staunch hearts behind it, and they came nobly to her defense. So let us bridge this period by turning to what we can find of student life In the fall of ' 83 we find some sixty students enrolled in the various departments. There were two literary societies, the Occidental Club and the Irving Institute, a Musical Association, a C. C. Y. L. O. C. F. H. P. (Colorado College Young Ladies ' Or- ganization, Combining Fun, Health and Pleasure) with the motto No admittance to Gentlemen, and a C. C. Boarding Club which meets three times a day for practice. The Occidental Club published a monthly sheet called The Mirror. From the Gazette are taken the following items: September 29, ' 83 — A subscription paper has been started for the purpose of securing a football and has been met with by a generous response from most of the students. October 5 — The new foot ball recently ordered is expected to arrive within a few days. The College has been divided up into two squads. October 1 2 — The new foot ball has arrived and consequently the boys are happy. October 26 — The following reply has been sent to the challenge of the B. F. Crowell foot ball team : ' Mr. B. Storee, Secretary. ' Dear Sir — Your challenge to play the C. C. foot ball team is accepted pro- vided the B. F. C. football team pay half the price of a 30-inch Rugby ball and half 21 the expense of putting the grounds in proper condition for the game, with the under- standing that the winning team take the football. Yours respectfully, L. B. VELLA, Sec C. C. A. A. ' On November 2 we read the inevitable — Mr. Harry Johnson had his ankle se- verely sprained last Saturday in a game of football. January 4, ' 84 — Prof. Strieby called the male students together to form a fire brigade. Soon after appears the following amusing items: Football has again been revived as an amusement during recess. For some time the highly interesting and rather dangerous pastime of shinny has been the favorite amusement, but football has again assumed its former prominent position. Last Saturday evening the students at the Club House had a spelling match. March 7 — Prof. Loud is now teaching a class in Analytical Geometry. Several of the students have received admonitions from the faculty for lack of punctuality at chapel exercises. In September, 1 884, the two literary societies combined, forming one society called the Phoenix Literary Society. The Mirror was discontinued for lack of support or something or other. In November, 85, The Pike ' s Peak Echo was started. It was published bi- monthly, running throughout the year. (This was rather a long life for a college paper then. It is the earliest publication of this kind we now have on file in the library.) It had for a motto: I speak of what I have heard. It was virile, energetic, ambitious. As an exchange put it: It did not play true to its name. It ' speaking ' in greater measure ' of what it thought ' than of ' what it heard. ' For instance, in January, 1886, it startles us by saying: Mr. was con- spicuous at the last meeting of the Phoenix by his absence. When a gentleman signifies his willingness to join the society and take his share, of its burdens, and then flunks the first time he is put on the program, it looks as if he cared very little for the society and its welfare. Boulder is mentioned in March, 1886, as having a student body of about 75, and it will graduate a class of 6 this year. Student life was very plainly factional. The College, as Kipling said of the ship on its first voyage, had not found itself. There was, however, a latent force, a vital- ity in the student body (and the character of the student body is the character of the college, is it not?) that augured well for the future. Once organized, unified and all this youthful, untried strength would assume a character and an individuality supreme over every faction. College spirit — they had no conception of; that is, in our modern sense of it. Take our athletics, for instance. There is no more unifying influence in college life than its athletics, when they are clean. Why? Because they foster a college spirit. It is our team, though we may not know a man that is on it, personally. They represent us. If they lose, we lose; if they win, it is our victory. So, in this middle period of the ' 80s, the transitional period between the old and the new, though spirit was eager, keen, abundant, it worked against itself, and seemed even weaker than it was. Athletics, because of the lack of the unifying principle of Colorado College patriotism behind, was merely an outlet for the superfluous spirits of the individual, and shinny served as well as football. There was, as the editor of 22 Color CoIIrnr¥r r llooft If tt 1)t-:Srfrrn The Minor disgustedly phrased it, on giving the reasons for this discontinuance of his paper, a lack of something or other. A master mind was needed — an administrator, executor, scholar, Christian, to stamp the impress of his personality on this nugget of pure gold and give it character, give it shape, give it worth. The office of President had been vacant since 1885. A vigorous campaign had been undertaken in New England under the leadership of Prof. Geo. N. Marden. The money necessary to pay the debts was secured, and in 1 888 Rev. Wm. F. Slocum, then of Baltimore, was called to the presidency. And Colorado College found itself. That distinctiveness of character that makes it essentially Colorado College, not a college, our present President has given to it. Do you know who is the best Tiger of us all? Who, whenever his signal has been called — the need of the College! — has tucked the ball under his arm and carried it over for a touchdown every time? Did you ever hear this? Rah! Rah! Rexy! Bully for Prexy! Rah! Rah! Rah! Sis — Rah — Boom ! President Slocum ! Give him room! Although it may in some degree anticipate, I cannot refrain from quoting here the closing words of President David Starr Jordan ' s address on the occasion of the dedi- cation of Palmer Hall: I cannot close this address without a word in praise of the honored President of Colorado College. It is the highest duty, the noblest privilege of the President of the College to give the institution its personality. Others may give money and buildings, the state may create machinery by which the College works; it remains for him to make it a living person, an Alma Mater, an influence in the formation of char- acter and citizenship. Sixteen years Dr. Slocum has struggled for Colorado College. Sixteen years of courage, devotion, persistence of a type few other colleges have known. He has sought far and wide for good men, for men of his kind. He has seen richer mstitutions draw these men away, and then he has begun his search once more, and each time he has closed the ranks with men of the Colorado spirit. Every great university has been enriched by men drawn from Colorado College. Greater institutions have stood ready to bid for his own services-, and in no mean fashion. This I know well, though not from him. But he will not leave the work of his lif e to begin another, simply because the other stands in a larger yard. There is gold in Colorado; there is silver; there is untold wealth in her mines. But Colorado is not made by mines. She has been made by men. She has had many red letter days. This twenty-third day of February, 1 904, is not the least of them all, but none has been fraught with greater hope to the state than that day when William Frederick Slocum came to the presidency of Colorado College. When the President came, there were seven instructors and about twenty-five stu- dents, not one a regular college student. The College possessions consisted of a campus of fifty-one acres and one stone building. Life was immediately put into the work. Order was brought out of chaos, and progress at last began. I regret that the character of this sketch prohibits my taking up in more detail the history of the College since President Slocum ' s coming. For that is the beginning of the modern era, the era of the fulfillment. But it would stretch to almost impossible 23 Colorado CoHc e¥r r ilaofe ItAttfllit-Scfrct lengths my sketch already grown cumbersome. I will then merely run over the most important points in the progress of the College from 1 888 to the present day. But the first point that claims my attention is a subtraction, not an acquisition. Shortly after the coming of President Slocum there resigned from the Board of Trustees one of the Old Guard. Jas. H. Kerr became connected with the college a very few months after its founding, and was continuously connected with it until 1 889. In the early days he taught in the College in mining, metallurgy and kindred subjects. From 1878 he was a member of the Board of Trustees, part of the time serving as its Presi- dent. For years he was Vice-President of the College and during a greater part of the interum from 1 885 to 1 888, was acting President. To his steadfastness and the courage of his faith in the future of the College, in times of crisis, is the College immeasurably indebted. At one time a horse-car line bid for a passage through the Campus. It was during the dark period of ' 85 to ' 88. Money was an urgent necessity, and the committee had accepted the offer, when Mr. Kerr, as acting President, insisted that they recall their acceptance. At another time an offer was made of a thousand dollars an acre for twenty acres of the College Campus. He refused flatly to break up the Campus at any price, in spite of the fact that he received over a score of letters from leading citizens urging him for the good of the College to do so. He gave the first specimens to the College, thus starting the Mineralogical and Geo- logical Cabinet. He gave thousands of dollars in unpaid services, in money and in schol- arships. He is truly one of the honored Fathers of Colorado College. In 1 888 the President ' s residence was purchased. This had been built in President Tenney ' s time, but had later been sold. Hagerman Hall was completed in 1 889. This year the Woman ' s Educational Society was formed and immediately set about building a girls ' dormitory, Montgomery Hall, finished in 1891. In 1890 the Preparatory School was first called Cutler Academy. The next year the Gymnasium was built by student con- tributions. Prof. Cajori came in 1889; Prof. Gile, Prof. Parsons and Prof. Noyes in 1892. Coburn Library, the gift of the late N. P. Coburn of Newton, Mass., and the Wolcott Observatory, the gift of H. R. Wolcott of Denver, followed in 1 894! Dr. O. K. Pearsons, of Chicago, offered $50,000 to the College on condition that they raise an additional $150,000 in the next two years. Ticknor hall came next, in 1879, the name of the donor, Miss Elizabeth Cheney, remaining unknown for several years. Per- kins Hall followed in 1900, McGregor Hall in 1903, and Palmer Hall in 1904. In raising the $150,000 necessary to secure the additional $50,000 promised by Dr. Pearsons, the students in 1896 pledged themselves to raise $10,000, to be knowr. as the Students ' Endowment Fund. In 1900 an offer of $50,000 was made to equip a Science Building on condition that $60,000 additional be secured to build the building. When the corner stone was laid March 3rd, 1902, the fund had been increased to $240,000; when completed in 1904 it had reached a total cost of $330,000. Prof. Ahlers came in ' 95; Miss Loomis in ' 97; P rof. Brehant in ' 99; Prof. Pat- tison in 1900; Dr. Shedd and Dr. Urdahl in 1901 ; Miss Brown, Prof. Hills, Miss Flubbard, Miss Park and Mrs. Faust in ' 03; Dr. Finlay and Dr. Schneider in 04. The Colorado Collegian, a monthly paper, started October, 1890. This was succeeded by The Tiger, a weekly, June 15, 1899. 24 Colorado eoIIcflc¥car goojU Itattfltjt-Srfrcn Athletic life proper, began in 1895. There had been an Intercollegiate League for some years, but Colorado College had not been a member of it. This year they entered in baseball, and to the surprise of everybody, won a close second. The next year they won the championship, and entering the Intercollegiate track and field meet, surprised every one by winning it also. There was also a Faculty-Senior baseball game. Prexy was captain of the Professors. They entered football in ' 95, but were for the nex t three years far outclassed in weight and playing. In ' 98, Boulder withdrew from the League because of her refusal to hold to the four-year rule. (Boulder has from the first been distinctly Boulder. ) C. C. tied with Golden for football championship. In Spring of ' 98 the College again won the baseball championship, not having been defeated the whole year. This championship they successfully defended during the next two seasons of ' 99 and 1900. In ' 98 football and baseball sweaters were first given. In ' 99 and 1 900 the Tigers won the football championship, the second year not being scored against. It was said: Prexy broke his telephone hollering Pike ' s Peak or Bust! In 1903 the baseball championship was won again. In November, 1891, was the first Barbecue, only boys attending. Girls were invited next year, however. In 1 892 and ' 93, Colorado College won first in the State Oratorical Contest. For the ' 93 and ' 94 contests over one hundred rooters accompanied the men to Denver and Boulder. And thus we read. The pages fairly shouting their victorious yells, and brimming over with their energy and enthusiasm. We have a heritage handed down to us that it behooves us to treat with utmost reverence. A Colorado College man stands for something ! The reputation of the Col- lege is in our keeping. And as one searches among the old records of the lives of faculty, students and generous friends who have made our College, and who, through all the days of darkness and of hopes turned false, of bitter defeats and victories pregnant with the danger of repeated success, have held steadfast to their great ideal, and have handed it down to us without one blemish upon it — the significance of being a student of Colorado College comes to him with a two-fold meaning. It s eems not so much now an oppor- tunity to get something out of the College, as it does an opportunity to give something to it. And that it is not we who receive the impress of the College, but the College that re- ceives its impress from us. That what it is, we make it; and that just what we give it of loyalty and noble endeavors, or of smallness and indifference, do we receive back from it. The following will give some idea of how the College stands today: Colorado College, with somewhat less than $400,000 of endowment, endeavored to do, and actually has done the same work in character and quality that institutions from fifty to one hundred years older are doing, with three or four times the invested funds. Since the College began its rapid growth, that is, since Dr. Wm. F. Slocum took charge of its affairs, the financial, as well as the academic management has been a signal success. In a new community like Colorado Springs the College has developed from very small beginnings into an institution of the first grade, the value of its property has increased from an insignificant sum to nearly one and one-half million dollars — and all this without the loss of a single dollar in interest or investment. 25 Co o rafro c ollrgr Igt v gogft It « tt fllff -Scfrcn Twenty years ago, the whole system of College and Preparatory School was divided into six forms. In I 904, Colorado College offered one hundred and forty courses inde- pendent of the Academy. 1 hat the work has been well done, its reputation both in the East and West dem- onstrates. In 1 904 the College was unanimously voted a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, an honor that it shares with only a few universities and colleges west of the Mis- sissippi River. Colorado College has the distinction of being the only ' college, ' that is, the only institution without schools of law and medicine, that has received a chapter in the Society, west of Indiana. Colorado is one of the colleges of the rank of Bowdoin, Williams and Amherst, and in a very short time it has developed a great deal of the cultural quality which has always given the education of the institution a certain distinction. It has ever been President Slocum ' s ambition to make the College hold as high a standard of scholarship as any in the country. To this end he has gathered about him an excellent faculty, among them men of international reputation. The College stands for the highest ideals of religious character, intellectual train- ing and public service. Speaking of the future, our President says: Yes, I do believe very strongly in the future of Colorado College. It occupies, as has often been said, a strategic position here at Colorado Springs, and more and more will this city become a college or univer- sity town. Our students now come from all over the Union, and there is not any spot so good for a great engineering school as this is. Aside from the state institutions, after leaving the Atlantic seaboard, one finds Cornell, the University of Chicago; in the South, Vanderbilt in Tennessee; the Tulane at New Orleans, and the Leland Stanford in Cali- fornia. There certainly ought to be a great educational foundation in the center of the Rocky Mountain region. As an index of what the future holds for Colorado College, of the potency of Presi- dent Slocum ' s strong belief in this future, we have but to call to mind the Engineering School, established some two years ago and now well under way, housed in the finest arranged and equipped Science Building in the West; and the School of Forestry soon to be opened. This latter department is made possible by the magnificent gift of Gen. Wm. J. Palmer and Dr. Wm. A. Bell, of Manitou Park of 15,009 acres, valued at at least $150,000. The importance of the Engineering School cannot be overestimated; the School of Forestry is perhaps of even greater importance. For the enormous consumption of timber for industrial purposes, the criminal waste of splendid forests, the ravages of parasites and fires, have made the question of the preservation of forests, one of the whole nation ' s greatest problems. There are at present only four important schools of forestry in America, one each at Yale University, at Michigan and California University, and at Biltmore, in North Carolina. It is a well-known fact that in forestry, each particular territory demands its own peculiar treatment. Principles that govern the care of New England forests, do not apply to the coniferous growths in the Rocky Mountains. The distinct object of the Colorado College School of Forestry is the preservation of the forests that cover the millions of acres of the Rocky Mountain region, which, it is said, must sometime become a forest reserve. 27 No account of Colorado College would be complete without mention of Gen. Wm. J. Palmer. He is, in every sense, the true founder of the College. He was President of the Colorado Springs Co., which made the original offer and grant of land to the Col- lege. He was on the first Board of Trustees. He is still a member. Railroad builder and President, financier and man of many affairs, he has always taken an active interest in the College, and had time to enlist the interest of others. The Science Building, the last and finest of all the College buildings, is fitly called, in honor of this patron of learning, philanthropist and builder, Palmer Hall. CONFIDENCE Steel and white the harbor lay Beneath a storm-racked sky ; While weird-toned gulls dove recklessly In the savage white caps high. From the no ' no ' theast the gale that night Brought swirls of fog-wreaths grey, And the creaking ships pitched heavily At the angry close of day. The longboats lay at the rain black wharf, Their crews in the chandlery store, While the moaning waves gnawed hun- grily Below on the sea-bit shore. But deep within the mutt ' nngs And threats of the dark ' ning storm Amid the gloom, the pulse of God ; Was throbbing sweet and warm. For ' mongst the harsh beach grasses, Like a trusting nesting bird Lay a wide-eyed child a-wondering At God ' s majestic word. She saw the lighthouse friendly From the eastern headland beam, She heard the steam fog whistle From the western headland scream. She smiled as she lay in her nest On the grassy spray -blown beach, She knew the waves could not touch her — She was just beyond their reach. So when the face of the ocean Weareth the storm like a frown, The child on the beach is not frightened, But cuddles the closer down. 28 ' A 3uncclc M% A e 1oratf CoHcacTctr Hoofc If .Kttatyt-Srtru 30 Colorado College ¥ear lloofc If 3Uflf)t-Sc rtt 31 Colorado eoUrgc¥c r lioofo If xu tyU tSwu ..} ' -■: Cbc 3BoarX of 7Cx X8tt t ■■m ??v 3 WILLIAM F.

We advise you to cultivate a happy-go-lucky disposition. Cease to worry or to apply your- self so closely to your studies. Pay more at- tention to your fellow students. A frequent change of diet and plenty of out-door exercise are also recommended by the best physicians. How can I make a good impression in class? William A. Bartlett. We think you will find it a good plan to bluff. When you are asked to recite, begin as if you knew all about it, hesitate slightly, beat around the bush a little and the professor will do the rest — sometimes. How may I do something to aid my class? Mabel S. Bateman. First, win the Perkins scholarship, and if they do not appreciate this, remember that a prophet is not without honor save in her own country. 58 Colorado ©ollcjjc rariloofc 3flkmgfyt- titeu Why is my laugh peculiar? Harvey E. Boatright. Did you ever hear a large, full-grown Rocky Mountain canary, in full possession of its re- spiration faculties, plaintively and tenderly call for his mate? If you never heard that melody we despair of giving an idea of the way your soft, ripply laughter sounds to other people. My name is constantly mispronounced. What can I do to remedy it? Olive A. Buhoup. One cure for your trouble would be to have cards, with the correct pronunciation of your name, printed and distribute them freely over the campus. But the best way would be to change it as soon as possible. Am I right in so freely offering advice? Albert Cobert. Most certainly, Mr. C. ; one who so consist- ently disregards his precepts can do no harm by freely giving advice. 59 C olotvifco ColSror ¥r,n JUool; If ttj|fjt- rfertf Is it permissible for a Y. M.

Pretty hard on the eyes. How shall I convince people that I am not personally responsible for all the deadly insults printed in this book concerning them. A. Harry Fisher. Do not try. For six weeks after the Nugget appears make yourself scarce, leaving no trace by which you can be located. Get back to nature. No spot is too inaccessible. Your safety depends on this. He I b ecome ramous Ruth Gilbert. Procure a dust pan and brush and as soon as it is study time march up and down the hall, beating the pan and brush together violently. You will then be the talk of the College for many days. 60 Colorado CoUc0c¥cavl oo1; ltaufMt- t tn What do you think of the Science of Biol- ogy? V. H. Gumey. Well, to be frank, since you say it is the greatest science in the world, and knowing how scientific you are, we are persuaded that it is rather infantile. Please tell me one of the best colleges for women in the country. Faith H. Haines. Next to Colorado College, we should suggest Vassar. We have had much of good concern- ing it, and advise you to give it a trial. ( l ) Do you advise a fellow to try for the track team? (2) Kindly tell me a good, all- round motto for daily living? Mayo D. Hersey. ( I ) By all means try for the track team, as you are sure to make a success of anything you try. Think, too, what a drawing card you would be; even the most avaricious would buy a ticket in order to see you. (2) We consider the following as good a motto as any: Don ' t tell your troubles to the annual board. N. B. — They are a bad lot and won ' t ap- preciate the true delicacy of your feelings. 61 Color CoUcflc¥car tfool; 11,iM0ljt-Sri rn J i, I How may I cultivate that saving grace, a sense of humor, and make myself generally agreeable to my fellow students? Earl H. Howbert. As you do not see the humorous side of life and find it difficult to smile, take psychology three times a week until cured. You may make life very pleasant (?) for your friends in your praiseworthy role of raconteur. See that your repertoire contains the most pointless and aged jokes known and administer these freely on all occasions. What course do you advise me to take in College? Mildred H. Humphrey. All possible courses in mathematics, and then, lest these should become monotonous, elect all the sciences possible. Language and English courses should be left for those who dislike to study more than twelve hours a day. Am afflicted with stammering. How can I overcome this impediment in my flow of speech? Hannah R. Johnston. Cross two fingers, slowly shut your right eye, whistle after every word and I think you will be able to overcome your infirmity. 62 Colorado College ¥c r llooft 3tM uffl)t- ctotn What objection can there be to my smoking after meals at Hag Hall? Gleason C. Lake. Probably after the fellows get used to it they will not mind the rich, juicy odor from your briarwood, but it is possible that until they do so the fragrance might interfere with the proper digestion of hash. I send you the following official statistics which I thought you might like to publish in these columns for the benefit of your readers. J. Graham Lamb. Pike ' s peak is 14,777 feet high, multiplied by seven-come-eleven, by four-eleven-forty-four added to three pounds of nitro-compressed air, and forty yards of cinder track; stew the whole for ten seconds flat — and we predict that we win the track championship by about 111-2 points. (Signed) The Official Doper. Is it possible to gain the good will of Pro- fessor Lyon? Roy L. Mack. We refer you to first Peter V — 8. 63 Colorado Collc0r Ir.nliooi; If attfitjt-Srferu Shall I go on the stage? Abner B. Middleswarth. By all means. Your cunning ways, graceful carriage, winning smile and beautiful brunette complexion would assure your success as an act- ress. The experience which you have had along theatrical lines would also stand you in good stead. Am I pursuing the right course in regard to the Tiger? Arthur E. Mitchell. You are on the right track. We think there is no doubt but that with a few months ' more training under Fawcett ' s watchful eye, you will be able to entirely do away with the necessity of any editors on the Tiger board, the literary work being an unnecessary adjunct to the advertising medium. I should like you to define the duties of the chairman of the house committee. I should like to know just how far my powers extend. Frances Montgomery. There are no definite limitations, but the fol- lowing may help you: Wait until the noise has become so great that you hear the matron as- cending the stairs. Then walk out slowly and ask them gently to please be a little quiet. The other girls will scent danger and scatter, but you pro- ceed calmly to your room and the matron will see you only and think you have been making all the noise. This is as it should be. 64 Color ®0lXt t1ttav lloofe If Uj )U§Mw Have great difficulty in filling up my time. Would be very grateful for suggestions. James I. Muffley. We would say, Mr. Muffley, that after hav- ing completed the day ' s lesson with your accus- tomed finish, written up your weekly budget of Tiger dope, performed your duties as assistant editor of the Nugget, arranged the next Pear- sons program, studied up on the Inter-Society debate, played a rattling game of whist, out- lined and studied up the Y. M. C. A. Bible study course, put in a stiff afternoon training for the track team, talked to fifty-eleven fellows and almost had a boxing match — well — you might kill a little time in sleeping. It ' s a rather lazy habit, but being so much inclined that way, we see no other hope for you. What kind of out-door exercise do you rec- ommend? Alda E. Meyers. Long walks are certainly the b est. A walk up Pike ' s peak in the morning or a twenty-mile trip to Green lake are mild and beneficial forms of exercise. Be sure, however, to take a chap along. How often may one write to a young man with propriety? Alice . Meyers. Once a week is often enough. An engineer ' s life is so strenuous that he does not have much time for correspondence. Ofcit I 65 Colovafto CoUrjir 3Trar JPoott lt«ttt||l t- cfcen I am losing my appetite — likewise all my in- terest in life. Can you tell me what is the mat- ter? Irwin C. McBride. There are three possible explanations. You sleep too little, sleep too much, or are in love. From what we have heard, we fear it is the last malady from which you are acting — and yet — ■ that should not have such an effect on you un- less, perchance, your love is unrequited. Am endowed by nature with a great fortune. Where can I best invest it? James K. McClintock. There is e ' en a fair land in the heart of the Rhine country where I am sure your na- tive endowments may be invested with chance of much profitable return. ( 1 ) I have been accused by my friends of being gullible. Can this failing be overcome? (2) What is the popular spring flower of the West? Mary E. McDowell. ( 1 ) You have our smcerest sympathy and we assure you that we feel supreme contempt for any of your acquaintances who would take ad- vantage of a sweet and trusting nature like your own, in order to misrepresent facts. We hope that they will read this answer and be ashamed. (2) The best known of our spring flowers is the anemone. 66 Colorado CoUrflt IT cat Jtfooi; Itatt fjf-Sct cu What is a test of popularity? Eleanor M. Pease. Being elected for two consecutive years to the office of class secretary, and once to that of pres- ident, is the best example which occurs to us. How can one model character? obtain the reputation for Winifred C. Pease. This should not be very hard, providing you attend classes regularly and do nothing obstrep- erous. Care should be taken, however, lest your Sunday visit to the vaudeville should be discov- ered, for who could live down such a disgrace? How may I increase my popularity? Marjone Pitman. We think your popularity both with the stu- dents and professors would be increased if you did not become involved in so many intricate dis- cussions. If you could see the expression of hopeless despair on the faces of your classmates while you are holding forth you would realize that you possessed abilities out of the ordinary line. j pP 67 CcSot .itio C4IIc4rSr.it toovi, If ,itt4)jt-Srfertf How can I overcome my self-consciousness in regard to my height? James M. Piatt. I can only advise you to grow tall gracefully. I think that few people will look down on you. As to the bookstore, do not be discouraged, but think of the help you are giving to many poor students who would otherwise be unable to buy books. ( 1 ) How may I have a serious purpose in life? (2) Should I cultivate my musical tal- ent? Vera Rodger. ( 1 ) Shun society and avoid crushes. They take your mirid off your studies. (2) Sing con- stantly such songs as Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep, and Dearie. The melody and inspiring words in these two songs in particular are very elevating. Hiawatha, though a little out of date, is also always fascinating. I very much object to the custom much in vogue of using my name as a by-word. What is to be done? Mayme Scott. I do not think you can do anything to remedy your trouble. If the boys will be so rude and unladylike as to swear in your presence, even though they say nothing more blasphemous than Great Scott, the best thing to do is to ignore it in dignified silence. It is painful to have your name made a by-word, but, cheer up, maybe your last name will not always be Scott. 68 C olotvifto CoIIrnr IFrav Doof; If «t«flf t-Scfccu What do vou think of my character? Clifton B. Seybold. I admire you. Your generosity and goodfel- lowship cannot but bring you the popularity you deserve. Am I fortunate in having such a quiet nature? Bessie M. Schafer. Silence is an excellent thing in women, but too much of an excellent thing is as regrettable as too little. There is an old proverb which sayeth She that tooteth not her own horn, the same shall not be tooted, and it surely takes hot air to toot one ' s horn. Please tell me the most suitable and artistic decorations for a college girl ' s room? Frances H. Sims. Procure one or two classical pictures, but not enough to spoil the general effect. The most artistic is always the most simple, so we should advise practically papering the room with the- ater posters, as their gay colors and artistic tone will be conducive to high and intellectual thoughts, so essential to college life. A framed picture of a matinee idol would be fitting, par- ticularly if placed above a little shrine where you could constantly keep candles burning. 69 Colorado C IIr£r ¥rar l$oofc If ♦utjjIjt-Sctoctf My ambition in life is to cultivate a genteel demeanor. Kindly inform me how to do this? Verita A. Slaughter. Before entering a room, practice the time- honored custom of repeating prunes and prisms; this will give you the truly genteel ex- pression. Choose your words carefully and con- verse only upon the most polite subjects; this will give you the truly genteel manner. Do not overdo this, however, as some good people might say that you are vain. What attitude do you advise me to take in regard to nicknames? I am deeply grieved by some of them. Hope S. Smith. You are not to be despaired of. Though you are called Hopeless, yet we are of the opinion that some wag has taken advantage of the character of your given name. Webster says that hope is he or she who or that which furnishes ground for expectation or promises de- sired good. Let us hope it is correct. Shall I major in Art or Literature? Ruth S. Smith. To one so versatile, that is a difficult ques- tion, and yet, all things considered and espe- cially your domestic happiness, we should say, By all means let it be Art. 70 Colorado Col I cflcTc.tr iiooi; llait flfjf-Scticu Is it wise to get to class on time? Carlos T. Smith. Never. On the contrary, always contrive to be a little behind time, and show that you are not very anxious whether you get there or not. If the professor objects, you can blame your tardiness onto the street car. Had I better leave Colorado College and go to a good school? Earl C. Steffa. By all means, Mr. Steffa, do not go to Colo- rado College if its curriculum is not up to your standard. We have noticed, however, that a student ' s liking for the school he is attending varies directly with his ability to keep up with the rest of the class. How shall I best economize my time? Walter Tegtmeyer. To one so much engaged as you, this is a hard problem. We should advise, however, a strict division of labor. You should study but little in order that your baseball may not suffer and especially that you may be at your best every evening. However, if you should call some evening when the lady ought to be drawing for The Nugget, butt out promptly. 71 Colo ratio Collr r 3Trar lioafc llattflfjt- rfcrn Where can we get our evergreen this year? Irene Thomas. For a little girl like you I should say, Stay away from Cheyenne Canon, for a little college girl was arrested out there for taking kinnikin- nick. I am tired of always finding my name at the end of the class roll. I desire help in this im- portant matter. Zaidee M. Zinn. I am not sure what to advise you to do. You might change it to some name beginning with A, just as a matter of contrast. Do you really think I am succeeding in life? Royal H. Finney. To one who has alleviated so much suffering even among dogs and cats, I could only say: Life is certainly not a failure. 72 Colorado Colltirr ¥r«nr l oot; If XU tyU tbtU Do I have the right idea about being enter- taining? Charles D. Hall. Yes, you have. People who agree with everything are seldom very interesting. I sometimes think that my efforts in the class- room are not fully appreciated. This annoys me greatly. What can I do? Mane Roberts. Enter into long arguments with your pro- fessors, state your views freely, no matter whether they bear on the subject or not, and, above all things, never admit that you are wrong, no matter how many eminent authorities are cited to the contrary. This method has never been known to fail. What shall I do with the girl proposition? George H. Scibird. I should advise you to adopt the following resolutions : Whereas, After having faithfully and con- scientiously striven for some years to discover my affinity; and, Whereas, In so striving I have spent much valuable time and some money to no purpose; therefore, be it Resolved, That girls, being merely and only ornamental, are a needless luxury, and, further- more, if I within the next year meet my affin- ity it will be because I didn ' t see it coming. 73 Colorado eoMcflc ¥rar Uool; If aetnljt- rferu Does a lab. course pay? Montgomery R: Smith. Most certainly, Mr. S. ; especially Chem. A. where the nicest Freshman girl works. I have exhausted the writings of Petrarch in my study of Platonic friendship. Would you kindly inform me where I may find something of a more advanced nature, bearing upon this subject? Irene Whitehurst. You might take a little elementary work in the school of experience, say beginning in the class on human nature. What is the best way to catch a cat? Carl A. Hedblom. There are several methods of catching a cat. One is as follows: Advance toward the kitty on your hands and knees, all the while calling it tenderly by its first name. When you have ap- proached sufficiently close suddenly lower your head, the reflection from which will dazzle the cat ' s eyes. When you may seize it and dissect it at your leisure. 74 Colorado Collcjjr ¥r.ti JJooli 21,-tugtjt- rt)rH Sty? opljnmarfH. When the knights and ladies of the class called naughty-eight did gather them- selves together again, being much blown up over their great new importance, and much rejoiced to find that the olden peoples of the land had now no power over them, they resolved within themselves that they would mightily be paid for all their grievous wrongs of the year afore and that they would right readily show to the new green people of the land the marvelous bigness of the Sophomores. And to this they were much egged on by the old people who had dwelt in the land many years. And, moreover, by way of starting things, these did give a great stag party, where they sicked these two, the one on the other. And they fought each with the other and the Sophomores did completely put the Freshies to the worse so that there was nothing to it. Then did the Freshies desire to show their bravery and so it fell out on a certain day that they did wear on their heads bands of gay color, which much galled the eyes of the Sophomores, who gathered themselves together and made at the bands and sorely mis- handled them that wore them and took the bands and made a full end of them. But at this, being much stung with shame and hurt pride, these Freshmen, now some- what wilted, gat together their heads and deeply and darkly plotted how best to lay in the dust their enemies the Sophs. So stealthily by night they placed on a great pole their gaudy colors, daring thereby the Sophs to fetch them down. The Sophs had great joy at the sight and right blithely did they, full of self-confi- dence, put themselves to it. First, they bound up certain sundry and miscellaneous squirming Freshmen that were innocently circulating about. Then, forming up a compact array, they did right boldly advance toward the great pole where were all the loose Freshmen gathered. These right stoutly held fast. Then the Sophs started in a run and with might and main ran full tilt into them, as they were so many rams. Then was there such a great medley of arms and legs as would make a pile of kindling. Then in furious wise they weltered and wrung together and now one was above and now the other, and ever with a grievous rage they pulled and tore as they were fighting with death. It was a sore combat and all the people stood round about with mouths agape to see the horrid sight. Then gan the Sophs to bind the Freshies, but the ladies of these did as fast unloose them so that the Sophs could by no means make any headway. So they contended till near mid-noon till they were almost quite spent for lack of wind. And still the Sophs did marvelously strive to gain the flag and still the durable and dogged Freshies did hug the pole as it were a lover. And as fast as the Sophs would try to over-climb them would the Freshies pull them down by a leg as they were a spider on a string. Then, when all were well nigh spent, did the chief men of the country hold a council and put an end to so bloody a fight. And they dispersed them- selves and went to their homes and each swore that he would yet oust the other, or bleed the best blood of his body. Soon after these dire events did the ladies do themselves proud, for they gave to the knights a party which put new vahance in their hearts and they resolved to do battle with the Freshmen and forever to vanquish them. But first did they make a great feast to all the country round, at which there was much good cheer and cider. And there was a great fire, and Freshies were tossed to their 76 Colorado eolIrflc¥c r Hoofe J(Mjmg%U% teu heart ' s content. The like of such a feast had never before been seen and after it they all felt very greatly puffed up. But it fell out that soon after some of the Sophs met some Freshies on a gridiron, and, though they fought right valiantly, the Sophs were hard put to it for lack of some of them that had C s. and they were vanquished. So did their pride take a fall and they were in a sad state till their ladies did have a contest and did utterly vanquish the ladies of the Freshies and of all the country round. Then did the knights take fresh heart and their spirits burned hot within them and they swore to redeem them their fair name and never again to give the Freshies a look in. So they took great new courage and on meeting the Freshies in a contest of declama- tion they completely ousted them and this gave them new resolve to beat them always. And in return for the great help of their fair maidens toward them they gave to them a valentine party, when all their hearts waxed light and jolly and they had marvelous joy each of the other. And they had it in mind to stand all together and achieve great things for old naughty-eight. And also besides many of them cast about and wrested many an honor from the Freshmen and from the older inhabitants. So that the fame of this class was spread abroad through all the land. But never did they contend with one another for they did ever stand together in good friendship in defeat and in victory. And while their life was full of combat and they had many things to puff them up, yet did they every week meet to- gether to give praise to their God. So that this, too, brought them near together. So, united together and, though ever with a smaller size, yet ever with a greater intensity and dash, will this class, like the wave of an ocean which comes at intervals bigger and stronger than its fellows, leap over all obstacles and at the last leave its mark highest on the sands of life.

It is not until 1 905 that the life of this ancient College can be said to have actually begun. By life we mean not only that studious and retired life that students of that time were accustomed to lead but here we see the germ of our higher social, intellectual and moral civilization. In 1905, that class, since become so famous in the annals of all history, entered the College. Even from the beginning its members showed a remarkably independent and self-reliant spirit. (Here a slight commotion is caused by the arrival of a delayed student in his flying-machine. The confusion allows the student reciting to dexterously turn the paper. He then continues.) In defiance of all rules and regulations the young men of the class appeared one morning wearing red and white hat-bands, (a gaudy ornament used for the decoration of the hat by these early peoples.) A skirmish ensued between the Sophomores and Freshmen ending in — er — er — (Here the next student takes up the thread of the history.) An- other incident showing their independence took place later in what was known as a ' class- scrap ' (a vulgar phrase signifying a form of battle peculiar to the Sophomore and Fresh- men bodies). In the dead of night the Freshmen warriors gallantly raised their standard and then camped at the foot of the flag-pole. The Fresh men ladies were roused from their sweet slumber by the gentle strains of that glorious old lyric: ' I ' ve waited, honey, waited long for you. ' Resolving that these brave warriors should wait no longer, the ladies prepared food and drink with their own fair hands and courageously went forth to save the starving knights. At ten a. m. the great engagement took place. Both sides fought with great valor and bravery, several heroes being wounded and carried from the battle-field, while many fair ladies, whose spirit quite belied the gentler sex, acted as ' veritable angels of mercy ' to the stricken warriors. For two hours the conflict raged; at the end of this time arbitrators took the matter in hand; the beautiful pennant was removed with the promise that the Freshmen should regain it when they had overcome the Sophomores in three athletic con- tests. This they immediately did in the first contest on the gridiron (a technical term signifying a sandy waste peculiarly marked with white lines) . They beat the Sophomores with a score of 5 to in that ancient sport called football, which has now faded into the past with the earlier bull-fight and gladiatorial combat. (The student is here obliged to stop for want of breath and another continues) : But this class is known not only through its feats of arms but also by its high social standing. We have record of many parties and social events indulged in by these our reverend and beloved ancestors. Par- ticularly do we note an innocent diversion called a ' baby-party. ' We have been unable to determine the exact nature of this form of entertainment but we are assured that it was a source of great interest and amusement not only to the Freshmen but also to many Sophomores who, under cover of the dark, peeped longingly in at the festivities. But the greatest benefit this class has left to mankind is the purifying influence of the simple life led by all its members, but especially by the young ladies of this glorious class of 1909! 82 Colo i Afro CoHcgc¥cA iioofr llaMgljt-Sc cH COLORS: Red and White.

THREE FRESHMEN. Three Freshmen went up to a Math exam, To a Math exam and their hopes rose high ; Each sat up the whole night through to cram, And the Juniors stood watching as they went by ; For some will flunk and others will not, And others cant learn though they study a lot. And the Freshman class is moaning. Three terrible questions the black board bore, And the Freshmen gazed at them hard and long; They looked at the ceiling and looked at the floor, Then tried them but answered every one wrong. For some will flunk and others will not, And the passing mark ' s sixty and can not be got, And the Freshman class is moaning. Three notices grim on the bulletin board, Met the eyes of the students as they came in, And the Freshmen are weeping and saying Oh, Lord, May we never have to take Math again. For some will flunk and others will not, But the sooner ' tis over the sooner ' twill stop The Freshman class from moaning. 85 eoloratto CQUt tlttxv ttoolv ItatiaYjt- rbru ROLL. George F.

CetaraQio Collcncycuafool; 11.tng1j - ctorH What allurements the idea of engineering holds forth to the average boy from the time he is able to build with his blocks wonderful structures, perhaps not along scientific lines until he is old enough to build a shoot the chutes in his back yard or drive his neighbors wild with the continual tooting of his miniature steam engine! And yet when he has reached the point where he is old enough to attend an engineering school, and can play with real machin- ery, can learn «how to build real bridges, and can study the surveying and construction of a real rail- road, how different from play it seems and how often the boy — now a man — tries to do as little as possible of the work planned for his prepara- tion as an engineer. Oftentimes, instead of trying to get as much as possible out of a val- uable scientific course, the student seems to think it his bounden duty to thwart the pro- fessors in their various attempts to instill into his mind the principles of the subject of which he is expecting to make a life-work. If this student ever graduates and finds himself incap- able of carrying on the work for which he has studied, will he blame the school, or will he be honest and blame himself? Of course, this sort of engineering student is the exception. If he were not, the school from which he graduates would not have a very enviable reputation in the engineering world, and consequently would not live long as an engineering school. The reputation of a school of science depends principally upon the reputation and ability of its Alumni members. As the Engineering School of Colorado College gradu- ates its first engineers this year, the only way in which we can at present, judge as to its values as a training school for practical engineers is by its faculty, equipment and location. If there were any doubt as to the fitness and ability of the faculty members, a glance at their records and attainments, recorded elsewhere in this book should surely dispel all fears in that direction. The equipment must be seen to be appreciated. Palmer Scientific Hall was erected at a cost of over $300,000, not for the purpose of beautifying the campus, but to provide room for chemical, physical, electrical, assaying and other laboratories, as well as extensive and complete equipment for use in the Mining, Electrical, Civil and Irri- gation Engineering Courses. Any person who has ever been to Colorado Springs knows that it is one of the most beautiful spots on earth in which to live. But he might not guess that in the midst of this grandeur and beauty are smelters, mills, mines and electric generating plants, some of which are the largest enterprises of their kind in the West. While it is the intention of the Engineering Faculty to turn out capable engineers, yet it is not thought best to entirely eliminate the idea that a man can be a gentleman as well as an engineer. This idea seems to be lost sight of by some schools, which, other- wise, graduate very efficient men. The men at present studying engineering in Colorado College are for the most part, those who will after graduation, make reputations for themselves and for their college. Who can tell how long it will be until Colorado College ranks among the leading scien- tific institutions of the country? 94 Colorado C4 IIrur¥c3r iloofc Ztxutfbt- tt tn f=h£ Cltttl It must not be inferred that the Civil Engineer burns midnight oil constantly and always grinds. Nor is the task so difficult and exacting as to make it impossible for him to enter the usual college activities. He has figured prominently in almost every phase of college life and had at least his share in ably tilling the places of leadership. However, the curriculum fails to provide for the easy going fellow. When he happens, by mistake, to get caught in the course, he has a few day dreams of beautiful anticipation and he looks forward to the time when, as chief engineer of some enterprise, he will simply draw a big salary and travel in a private car. If this fellow is not rudely awakened, before long his beautiful dream fades into utter oblivion and finally trans- pires into an awful nightmare. Then the hideous monsters of mathematics, drawing and designing gather around and form an apparition truly appalling — this, too, for a small salary which is far in the background and which indeed may never come! Contrary to the commonly accepted opinion, civil engineering does not consist alone in digging ditches and building roads, but as A. M. Wellington tells us, It is the art of doing that well with one dollar which any bungler can, after a fashion, do with two. He also says, As the correct solution of any problem depends primarily upon a true un- derstanding of what the problem really is, and wherein lies its difficulty we may ¥ consider ¥ ' v ' its real nature; the causes which impede sound practice; the conditions on which success or failure depends; the directions in which error is most to be feared. This should convey some notion of what the civil engineer in Colo- rado College is trying to do. He must know the properties used in engineering work. He must be able to determine the stresses in structures and accordingly arrange his ma- terial most economically. He must, above all, keep in touch with the rapid advancement that is daily being made and ever cultivate those priceless, fundamental elements of sound judgment and good, common sense. The common expression, A school is known by its graduates, is quite familiar to every one. The present engineering school is not known by its alumni, for, as yet, there are no engineering alumni. However, four Seniors are now preparing theses in the an- ticipation that the June commencement will find them the first civil engineering graduates of the long list which will certainly follow. 95 Colorado CoHrflclTcar 1 0 ; If attflDt- cfcctf RIEHLE 100,000 POUND TESTING MACHINE TEST SPECIMENS 96 Colotvifto eollcjorr ¥r«tr ilooli If «tii0Vjt-Sr ru ' Tis within the memory of most of us when Colorado College had no Engineering School, no Palmer Hall. This building was for a long time the fond dream of our esteemed and beloved President Slocum. Before the realization of this dream came struggles, more than most of us can even imagine. With the realization came other dreams: dreams of an Engineering School. It was seen that, in the development of this western country, with its irrigation projects, its railroad construction, its erection of build- ings, its mines, mills and smelters, that the engineer is to play a very important part. There was seen to be a constant demand for men thoroughly equipped to handle the problems peculiar to the West, and especially to the mining, milling and smelting districts. It was evident that no school was more advantageously situated to meet this demand than Colorado College, standing, as it does, in the immediate neighborhood of mines, mills and smelters. These were the causes of the dream; as to the realization it need only be said that this year will see the graduation of the first of the engineers from Colorado College. In the spacious laboratories of Palmer Hall is ample room for the experimental work of many engineers. These laboratories were designed by the head of our Chemical De- partment, Prof. Strieby, and in arrangement are second to none. The scales for the quantitative chemistry and assaying are mounted upon a pier which has its foundation sep- arate from the building, so that no jar may be transmitted to it. The scales are in a room by themselves, separated from the laboratories by double doors, so as to eliminate air currents, the greatest possible accuracy in weighing being thus attained. The assaying laboratory is equipped with twenty-two muffle furnaces, and a rever- beratory furnace in which a large number of fusions can be made at once, together with crushers, bucking board and sampling floor. Each student has his own pulp balance, so that there is no delay in weighing out charges. There is soon to be equipped in a building erected for the purpose an hydraulic laboratory. This will contain concentrating machinery, such as the jig, the Wilfley table and hydraulic classifiers, enabling the student to become familiar wit h the laws governing their operation as well as with their mechanical manipulation. Other laboratories, draft- ing rooms, etc., are splendidly equipped and at the disposal of the mining engineer, but i more properly belong to other departments of engineering and so will not be discussed here. For the theoretical side of the course it may be said that we think it as thorough as that given anywhere. As the years roll around it will doubtless become necessary to make changes in, and additions to, both the course and equipment. As for changes in the course, we may rest assured that, with a man at the wheel as capable and broad-minded as our Prof. Cajori, these will be timely and sufficient. For additions to the equipment we have room still on the campus and the energy in the faculty to fill it as the need becomes apparent. 97 Colot «t$cv College ¥car i?ooft lIatiglQt Scfrtn Probably the crowning feature of an engineer ' s school-work is the thesis that he has to write for graduation. This thesis is not merely a composition of a few thousand words, but represents several months ' consistent effort in the accumulation of the necessary ma- terial. The mining engineer ' s thesis may be an exhaustive report on whether or not a certain mining property may be profitably worked, and, if so, how ; or he may study the various metallurgical problems and strive to obtain a solution to one of them, such as the reduction of aluminum from clay or feldspar on a commercial scale. In any case, he must make experiments for himself to obtain his data and whether he finds his proposition feasible or not his results are of value to others working along the same or similar lines. When the mining engineer comes to graduate he has stored up and laid by for future reference a goodly supply of general knowledge. He has had many problems presented for solution, such as a man in his vocation is expected to be able to solve; he has also a general knowledge, derived from his inspection tours, of how mines, mills and smelters are operated in actual practice. Beside all this, he has the theoretical knowledge so nec- essary to an engineer who must continually cope with new conditions. The graduating mining engineer is a man well trained and versed in the prevalent methods of operating mines, mills and smelters and of dealing with the attendant prob- lems; he is a progressive thinker, up-to-date, ready to make improvements, able to solve problems peculiar to his particular enterprise; primarily a man of ingenuity, push and resource; a man able to take charge of a situation and control it. ASSAYING LABORATORY 98 Colot .ittc CoIIc r ¥ tr Hoof; lfattj|fjt-Srtorw Within the last year, Electrical Engineering in Colorado College has had a won- derful growth. This growth has not been along one line only, but has been a general development in all directions. The apparatus has been increased, the course broadened in scope and made more practical, and, most important of all, an excellent head of the department secured. When the Engineering School was organized, the only apparatus available for the Electrical department was that owned by the Physics department and used in connection with the courses of magnetism and electricity in Physics. This has been added to until now there are complete sets of measuring instruments for both direct and alternating cur- rents, generators, motors and suitable devices for controlling and regulating the current. The course has been changed from a study of the laws of electricity and magnetism, as a theoretic physicist might approach them, to their study from the point of view of a practical electrical engineer. The theory is not sacrificed to the practical, but only properly correlated with it, so that the most useful elements of both are obtained. The subjects may be classified under three heads: preliminary, theoretical and practical. Under the head of preliminary studies come languages, mathematics, chemistry, physics and drawing, these occupying the whole of the first and second years ' work. The theoretical study of electricity is subdivided into that of direct and alternating currents, under each of these subdivisions coming a discussion of the fundamental laws of electricity and magnetism. Then the theory and design of the dynamo and motor are taken up and the characteristics and application of the different types studied. The dynamo design consists of a course of exercises in designing a dynamo to fulfill certain conditions of speed, output and efficiency; a study of the materials of construction and methods of winding; and the electrical and magnetic calculations for dynamos, motors and transformers. Also under alternating current theory comes an analytical and vec- torial discussion of the relation of the various electrical quantities. A course of lectures on electrical engineering instruments, devoted to a consideration of the various types of commercial measuring instruments for both direct and alternating current work, includes their general characteristics, accuracy and possible sources of error. A general study is made of the principles of mechanical engineering. Standard tests of boilers, engines, pumps, etc., are made. 99 Colo ratio CoUrtfi ¥c;u i ool; 21,ntt£l()t-Srt rH The practical study consists of shop and laboratory work. The shops are well equipped with wood-working and pattern-making machinery, forges, lathes and milling machines. A complete set of drawings and a model of a small Crocker-Wheeler motor have been obtained, and a duplicate will be constructed by the students. The laboratory work is devoted to a study of the various types of laboratory and commercial instruments and their use in electrical measurements. In these measurements, a set of tests are made to determine the heating and efficiency of motors and dynamos at partial, full and overload. The tests are conducted just as they are in the shops of the big manufacturing companies. Until the beginning of the current year, the department was without an electrical engineer in charge. At that time we were able to secure Mr. Armstrong to fill that position. Mr. Armstrong, who has had considerable practical experience in his line, is a graduate of Armour Institute of Technology, where he was assistant professor. He took hold of the department here when things looked darkest, but he has worked with enthusiasm and untiring energy, and the result has been very gratifying. A prominent educator of this state, after investigating the department thoroughly, was talking to Presi- dent Slocum a few weeks ago, and said: Colorado College has by far the best Electrical Engineering course in the state. Probably few outside of the department realize what great improvements have been made. With a few thousand dollars for apparatus and equipment, we hope to soon have the best Electrical Engineering School west of Chicago. A CORNER OF THE ELECTRICAL LABORATORY 100 Color .

The Dean does not believe in isolated music studies, but in musicianship as an element in liberal culture. All-roundness is as impossible without it, as it is without a command of correct and beautiful English. The ideals of the School are the College ideals of discipline, culture, character. It believes in music as a means to these ends quite as much as a fine art and gracious accomplishment. The purpose of the School is to be in all respects colleague of the other College schools, fulfilling, in respect of culture, essentially the same office they do, to the student. For the rest, it has an ample equipment and a thoroughly competent fac- ulty, and its courses of study are on the level of those to be had only in the best Conserva- tories of Music. 102 J. R. RICHARDS Football Coach P. B. STEWART Baseball Coach £o«oi Afco CoUcfctTra t itf oof; If ,tU0l)t-Srferit i m f l The Tigers of 1 905 were second to no team in the Rocky Mountain region, for all the best teams in the West but one were met, and never was our goal line seriously endangered. The splendid record is due to three causes, all of which are very important. We had in Richards the best coach in the West; the student body gave the team such support as was never seen before on Washburn field; every man on the squad trained faithfully and played his best for old C. C. This combination was a winner, as all the teams discovered. The team never slumped. It devel- oped slowly and consistently and was at its best for the hard game with the School of Mines team. The season really began when the Tigers journeyed to Denver and defeated the heavy Denver Athletic Club. The score was 4-0, which C. C. won on a neat goal from the field by Loring Lennox. On November fourth the Aggies lined up against the Tigers. That game showed us that we had a team worthy of all our pride and support. The only thing that kept the score from going up to fifty was that the Aggies were compelled to quit in the middle of the second half on account of a lack of substitutes. A week later the beefy team from Denver University was defeated by the score of 1 0-0. Only one more championship game remained, but it was with the School of Mines, the state champions. The Miners had already defeated all their opponents by large scores and came on Wash- burn Field confident of twisting the Tiger ' s tail. The Tigers were brimful of confidence that the Miners would meet defeat. It was without doubt the fiercest and closest game of football ever played in Colorado. The ball swayed back and forth across the field for two long halves, every minute of which was fraught with sensational playing on both sides, but when the referee ' s whistle blew the championship was still in doubt, for neither team had been able to score. The Tigers closed the season by defeating Washburn Col- lege at Topeka on Thanksgiving day. 104 Colorado College ¥carl?ooft 3Mjmgbt- ttwu Captain Johnston, Randolph, Roberts and L. Lennox, the best end and drop kicker in the West, are graduated. But we still have the material for a winning team in 1906. Success is assured because Richards has decided to coach our Tigers again next fall.

One thing was lacking — a coach. The team was a loser not on account of a lack of coaching, for the Tigers showed a knowledge of the game superior to any other team in the state, but what time Hester spent coaching he took away from his practice at pitching and that is where we lost. The first championship game occurred on Washburn Field, and by good luck the Miners de- feated us, 4 to 3. A week later the Tigers met defeat at the hands of the Aggies at Ft. Collins by the score of 7 to 6 in eleven innings. Then, brimful of confidence, the unlucky Tigers went up to Golden and proved their superiority by trimming their former con- querors 1 4 to 6. The final championship game occurred on Washburn Field when, dur- ing a rainstorm, the Aggies again defeated the Tigers in eleven innings, 8 to 6. The team showed its best form on Memorial Day, when the Sacred Heart College team of Denver was defeated, 4 to 0. 1904-1905. Willis E. Hester Captain Bert Wasley Manager 1905-1906. William G.

It was truly a winner, for it won the championship of Colorado and was the best team in the West. The credit for the splendid success is due to two things: First, a small team of men who were game to the core; men who trained carefully and in running used their heads as well as their legs. Second, to the captain and coach, Painter, who brought his men to the very acme of condition, taught them all he knew, and then won about half the total num- ber of points himself. The team had but two meets. The first meet, with the School of Mines team, was closely con- tested throughout and victory depended upon the relay race. That was joy for us, for our relay team was a sure winner. We won the meet by the score of 64 to 58. The next meet, held at Denver, was participated in by all the institutions of the inter- collegiate league. Again our relay team, composed of Gibbs, Lamb, James and Painter, distanced the field and brought home not alone the relay championship banner, but the state championship of Colorado.

With the beginning of the new College year, ten of the four- teen men returned to College and since September seven undergraduates and one member of the Faculty have been elected to membership. The membership is cosmopolitan, representing many States and standing for the various sides of Colorado College life. The Club rents a house near the Campus and ten men whose work and home ties do not determine their rooming place for them are living in this house. Chi Sigma Gamma was founded as a social club, having a mind to the best in- terests of Colorado College and to the welfare of its members. As a fraternity it stands before the College on its merits as a local, with high ambitions for national affiliation. ROLL. FACULTY Prof. Armstrong 1 906 J. G. Chapman H. H. Fawcett O. W. Stewart W.

STUDENTS ' HANDBOOK. The Students ' Handbook is a small handbook of information, compiled yearly by a joint committee from the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. for the benefit of the incoming students. The value of this book cannot be overestimated, and a great deal of credit is due the organizations which publish it. COMMITTEE FOR 1905-1906. Margherita Welling, Willet R.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society was organized in the year 1 776, a few months after the declaration of American independence. It now comprises chapters in the leading col- leges and universities of the United States, and all these local organizations are confed- erated in The United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, whose National Council meets once in three years. It is an important part of the regular business at such meetings to decide upon the applications for charters of new chapters. Those members of the Society who may be upon the faculty of a college,, where no chapter has yet been organized are the proper persons to make an application of this kind; and the Council has to pass upon the claims of the institution which aspires to the coveted honor. On September 7, 1 904, a charter was granted to Colorado College, to be called the Beta Chapter in Colorado. The organization of the chapter was effected November 11,1 904. New members were admitted on March 2d, 1905, from the class of that year and the preceding classes of the College; and in February, 1906, five new members were received from the present Senior class. The object of the Society is the promotion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American colleges. The by-laws of the local chapter provide that one-seventh of the members of each graduating class s hall be eligible, provided that no student shall be eligible who does not take his Junior and Senior years in Colorado College, or who has not received a grade mark of ninety out of a possible one hundred in at least one-half of his college work.

Since its organization two years and a half ago, the plan then foremost in the minds of its, founders has been consistently carried out. It was at that time agreed upon to make a proportionate division of the meetings and work of the Society along each of the several lines in which the members were interested. To this end and in connection with the monthly meetings, the Society has visited, at intervals, on Saturday afternoons, the va- rious plants of scientific interest in the vicinity. The first of these trips was an inspection of the Sand Lime brick works, northwest of the city. On New Year ' s Day the Society went to Pueblo to inspect the C. F. I. Co. ' s steel plant. Later came trips to the Re- duction Works at Colorado City and to the local gas works. A feature of these inspec- tion visits has been the interest shown by the student engineers. The Society has continued fortunate in securing addresses from noted scientists and engineers. Of these the most distinguished have been : Dr. A. D. Hopkins, forestry expert for the government, whose address dealt with the beetles and their ravages on trees; Mr. Bion J. Arnold, a member of the corps of engineers who have in charge the electrification of the New York Central lines into New York City; Professor L. G. Carpenter, late state engineer for Colorado, who spoke of his work for the state in fighting the Kansas-Colorado water suit; General Irving Hale, on the evolution of elec- tric power; Mr. Elwood Mead, of the U. S. Reclamation Service, on Irrigation in Italy; and Dr. Lee De Forrest, on wireless telegraphy. These addresses, discussions and inspection visits are a means of broadening the interest of the members, occupied as they are, in some special line of scientific work. During the year many volumes have been added to the Society ' s library. The scientific and technical works of Coburn Library have been placed in the custody of the Society. The student engineers are realizing the benefits to be derived from the acquaintance with these practical men of affairs. This is evidenced by their attendance at the meetings and in the increased use they are making of the Society ' s library. 129 Cdor.iDo Colirgr Ten Uool; H .1 ti jjljf-SrUni Cbtmi ' talClub - OFFICERS.

In November, 1 904, the Colorado College Chemical Club was organized with a membership of eight. This year we have increased our membership to twelve after grad- uating three from last year ' s Club. The membership of the Club will necessarily always be small on account of the specified work required for entrance. This, however, need not and has not influenced either the quality or quantity of work accomplished. Our aim is to ever increase the thirst for knowledge; knowledge that is unattainable from text books; knowledge that comes through the studying of phenomena, and from original research. If this capacity for original research can be instilled into the minds of succeeding generations, then the aims upon which the Colorado College Chemical Club was founded will have been accomplished. 130 Color ?

President Harwood Fawcett Vice-President Ruth Ragan Secretary-Treasurer J. M. Maguire Although the membership of the Tennis Association has been comparatively small this year, the members have been active. There was a great deal of playing in the fall, one tournament being held. This, an Academy event, was won by Hutchison. In the spring at least two, and very possibly three, tournaments will be played. These will con- sist of a College and an Academy tournament with the not improbable addition of an Intercollegiate tournament, to which Colorado College will send representatives. Although we have lost several good players who were here last year, it seems quite certain that Colorado College could put out a very creditable, if not a winning, team in the event of a state tournament. The Tennis Association has had a very good year up to this point and intends to make the second half year even better than the first. 133 Colorado Collc0c¥rav JJool; JX aualjt-Scfccu ia rat0rual cl00 0ciati0u. Oratory and debating occupies an important place in College life of to-day, and Colorado College is no exception to this rule. The spirit of Colorado College goes fur- ther than to say that a man should find special interest in some one phase of college life, and if he can not find that interest in athletics, then he should enter the oratorical and debating field. We believe that every one should be interested and take a part in this work. It is distinctively college work, both here and after we leave college. Evry student of Colorado College is a member of the Oratorical and Debating As- sociation. Last year at a meeting of the student body it was voted that each member of the College be assessed a fixed amount each year, to pay the running expenses of the As- sociation. This assessment has been collected from the students this year. During the last four years, we have held four Intercollegiate Debates, of which we won two, and lost two. This year we have been unable to secure an Intercollegiate de- bate, but hope to hold one next year. Colorado College is one of the three institutions of the state in the Colorado State Oratorical Association. The two Colorado College orators who represented us in the state contest at Denver were Raymond C. Farmer ' 09 and J. L. Calhoun ' 09. This year the president of the State Association was R. L. Givens, Colorado College ' 06. The president-elect for next year is A. E. Harper, Colorado College 08. J. L. CALHOUN RAYMOND C.

The Executive Committee consists of the officers of the Club and Professor De Witt. The object of the Club is to further the Art interests of the College and to benefit its members individually through the study of Art. So far the work has consisted in sketching from the cast and from life. Students who have previously studied Art seem glad of this opportunity to keep in practice, and it especially meets the need of those who wish to draw but cannot take an art school course. 135 Col or .itto CoIIrgr IT rat if ooft ll.tugfjt-Srvrn •prohibitum IGragu?. OFFICERS. Clarence W. Lieb, ' 08 President Charles F. Howell, ' 08 Vice-President Miss O. A. Buhoup, ' 07 Secretary J. C. Calhoun, ' 09 Treasurer The College this year has an additional student organization, that of the Prohibi- tion League. There have always been certain students in the College who sympathized with the prohibition cause. When making their annual visits the national secretaries have always found students who favored organizing such a league here. Not until this year, however, has such a league been formally instigated in the Christian life of our College. The one great purpose of the league is to enlist students for service against the liquor traffic. The league provides practical training and instruction for those already interested. The local league meets regularly every three weeks. Subjects relating to the various phases of the liquor problem are then taken up. Usually some outside speaker addresses the league, after which special topics are discussed by its members. The prac- tical training resultant from the study of this great social question brings the student into close touch with the pulse of our national life. Hence, the practical value of such a league in our College cannot be overestimated. A special feature of the league is its efficient department of oratory. As com- pared to other organizations of like nature it offers a wider, higher and more equal field for competition. Next year the league expects to inspire interest in instituting such a contest here as is held in some of our leading colleges. The acceleration that the league has received this year gives promise of a strong, thoroughly practical and spirited working organization for next year. CHARTER MEMBERS. H. E. Ewing G. A.

CoHrar £f .it tfool; 3H Attjjtjt-Scfccu The object of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is to unite all students who desire to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the College; to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for students; to train its members for Christian service and to lead them to devote their lives to Jesus Christ, where they can accomplish the most for the extension of the kingdom of God. In striving to accomplish this end the Association has this year been more suc- cessful than usual. The great part of this success has been due to the energy and devotion of the general secretary. The following is a brief resume ' of the work. The regular meetings of the Associa- tion have, since September, been held on Friday evenings before literary society in the re- ception room at Hagerman. These have been addressed by good speakers from Colorado Springs and elsewhere. The average attendance has been about forty. Short sings have also been held every evening and on Thursday evening usually there have been college songs. 1 he Bible study record is especially good. All year there have been six classes running with an attendance of nearly sixty, and this spring two more classes are being or- ganized, besides a teachers ' training class. In missions there has been a class studying the work of some of the great missionaries, besides a few who are reading the book outside. Moreover, fifty dollars has been raised for the work of Vories in Japan. Besides this there have gone from this College, as representatives of the general student body, eight dele- gates to the Student Volunteer convention in Nashville, four of these being young men. At the beginning of the year there was issued the Association handbook, which was distributed to the incoming students. Also at that time were held the two receptions for the new students and since then there has been the stag ball. The financial burden this year has of course been unusually heavy, but the energy of the treasurer has now brought matters up to a satisfactory condition. As the result of all this work, several students have taken a definite stand for the things for which the Association stands. However, the greatest undertaking of all is the new building. The college has long needed a building which could become the center of the student life, especially among the boys. Such a building would resemble the Harvard Union at Harvard or the Reynolds 138 Colorado Concur ¥car lloofe If atiflljt-Scfrcu Club in Chicago and would contain reading rooms, space for amusements, such as bowling, billiards, chess, etc. ; a small auditorium where plays could be presented and rooms for offices of the various college enterprises, as the Tiger, the athletic managements, etc. The building would also contain a dormitory on one floor. The rent of these rooms would pay the current expenses of the building and provide rooms for those for whom no provision could be made in Hagerman Hall. Meanwhile the Association has been in great need of such a building where meetings could be held and where the secretary could have an office. In short, both the Associa- tion and the student body needed a home. Such a building would answer both pur- poses admir ably. But it would cost in the neighborhood of $50,000.00. However, the College offers an excellent location and free light and heat, and as some money has already been pledged it is hoped that the building may be erected in the near future. The membership of the organization is now about one hundred and forty. The or- ganization for the past year has been as follows: ADVISORY BOARD — E. S. Parsons and M. C. Gile, Faculty members; A. E. Holt and W. R. Armstrong, Alumni members; C. A. Hedblom, with the treasurer, president and general secretary of the Association ex-officio, student members. CABINET — Donald Tucker, president; C. A.

Its purpose is three-fold — to keep in active Christian work those girls who have been in it at home; to interest and gain those girls for a life of Christian service who have heretofore been indifferent, and to increase and deepen the spiritual life of all the girls. Our Association was organized in 1 892 with a membership of about thirty girls. At present the membership is one hundred five. Besides holding regular weekly meet- ings the girls have arranged for special meetings, have sent out Thanksgiving dinners, sent Christmas boxes to a mission school in Seboyeta, N. M. Five Bible classes and one mission study class have been carried on during this year. In May, the Faculty ladies gave a May Morning Breakfast, which raised money for our summer conference delegates, also an Alumni summer conference fund was started which in a few years will be able to send two or three girls to our conference beside the delegates the Association itself sends. We have a rest room in Palmer Hall, which has been much improved this year, the walls having been tinted and several good pictures hung. The girls use the room a great deal during school hours. This spring the Association also had charge of raising money to send delegates to the Student Volunteer conference at Nashville, Tenn. Three of our girls were able to go. Looking back over the year, we feel that however many mistakes we have made, yet we have had a prosperous year and have stood more than ever before for lives of practical Christian service. 140 Colorado CoUcflcTcav ttool; If ,t tifltyt- cbcu ACTIVE MEMBERS.

These conventions are held once every four years or once every student generation, to keep alive the movement and to increase an interest in missions among the college men and women of our country; to induce some to become foreign missionaries and all to become active Christian men and women. The best speakers on religious subjects in the country and some from abroad, besides many missionaries and Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. leaders are present. While this year about 4,500 students from about 600 colleges, seminaries and universities of the United States and Canada desired to attend the con- vention, but 1,500 had to be turned away. Four years ago the Y. M. C. A. sent one delegate, Wm. Merrill Vories, to the convention at Toronto, Canada. He is now teach- ing in a Japanese College. This year the College as a body were able to send eight rep- resentatives, Misses Faith Skinner and Emma Riggs, Mrs. Ruger, Messrs. Hedblom, William Lennox, Blackman and Ewing. The influence of the Toronto convention lasted the whole four years and we hope the influence of this one will do the same, only reaching a larger circle. We had expected to have another member of our band, Mr. Lester McLean, at work in Japan by this time, but God saw fit to end his work here in August, 1905. Fairfield Sylvester, another member of our band, also died last year in December, and he, too, 141 Color College ¥egg Ijool; 11 ! !) -Scfr en before being permitted to go to the foreign field. We have five, however, who are in active work, Dr. Mary Noble in India, Ralph Wells in China, Philip and Susie Gillet in Korea, and Wm. Merrill Vories in Japan. Last Spring efforts were made by the local band to organize a state union for the purpose of creating a stronger feeling of fellowship among the volunteers of the state and to keep alive in the hearts of isolated volunteers as yet preventd from going to the foreign field the purpose to be a foreign missionary if God permit. For various reasons little has been accomplished thus far, though we still have hopes for such a union. The local band has had a meeting every week this year in Ticknor study, this term on Thursday afternoons from four to five. We have studied the prayer lives of dif- ferent men in the Bible, Candidates in Waiting, and H. Clay Trumbull ' s book, Individ- ual Work for Individuals. The first meeting of every month has been opened to all the students, many of whom have taken advantage of the invitation. These meetings have been led by members of the band or outside speakers. Most of our energy has been spent arousing interest in the Nashville convention, so that not as much work has been done in the Y. P. S. C. E. societies of the city and Manitou. We hope that the day will soon come when all college young men and women of our country will be united by this one purpose, whether volunteers or not: The evangeliza- tion of the world in this generation.

Its sole object, as stated in its constitution, is the spread of Christ ' s Kingdom among men, espe- cially young men. I he Brotherhood began with twelve young men, under the leadership of Mr. James L. Houghteling, in St. James ' Church, Chicago, on St. Andrew ' s Day, 1 883. At the present time there are 1,351 chapters with a membership of about 18,000 men. The college department now consists of about thirty chapters. There are three institutions west of the Mississippi which have charters, Colorado College being one of them. There are strong chapters in Harvard, Dartmouth, Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Cornell, Columbia and Chicago University. The local chapter was formed in the fall of 1 904, with a charter membership of eight. Since then it has grown in num- bers and influence, striving, in its own way, to be helpful to all students. 142 Colot ,t o CtHrneSrar l$oo 11a«fl!jt-Scfcc« Q J A FAMILIAR SCENE. Tune — Clementine.

Founded in 1 890, it has the distinction of being the oldest literary organization in College. To it is due the honor of instituting the inter-society debate, and the inter-state debate, and it was the first body to erect and occupy a clubhouse of its own. The past year has been, undoubtedly, the most successful one in the history of the club. The membership is greater than ever before; the work done in the weekly meet- ing is superior to that of previous years; the interest in the club and its affairs was never greater, and the prospects for a new and larger clubhouse in the not far distant future are bright, as the steady growth of the building fund testifies. Victory, or defeat, are not of necessity a measure of success or failure. In the past the Apollonian Club has shown itserf capable of rising above defeat, and defeat never meant failure. This year, however, has been one of victory, only. On the 1 7th of January, Calhoun, a member of the Apollonian Club, won first place in the Oratorical Contest, thereby becoming one of the representatives of Colorado College in the State Con- test. The seventh inter-society debate between the Apollonian Club and the Pearson ' s Literary Society was won by Apollo. This victory is all the more pleasing because for the first time in the history of the debate, we won out of turn. If one can judge from the past the outlook for the future must be bright. A year ago many soothsayers predicted that the introduction of Greek letter fraternities would mean the death of the literary society. A summary of the last eight months of the life of the Apollonian Club clearly indicates that the literary society will always have its place in Colorado College. Contrary to predictions, the immediate past is more glorious than the far distant past. The outlook for the future is even better. 148 Color.iSo Collcflr Yen Uoo); ll.iiiflljt-Sjrbrii ilmertia. This year has been a very interesting and profitable one for Minerva, both in her literary and social aspects. It was decided this year to devote the time to the study of the eighteenth century English drama, actors and stagecraft. The programs were varied by introducing music and scenes from the plays. Mrs. Cajori and others lectured to us. But Minerva does not devote all her time to literary pursuits. Early in the fall, a few weeks after College opened, the annual dance was given for the new girls, who were thus given an opportunity to meet the Minervans socially. There have been several informal spreads for Minervans alone, and lso many charming affairs given by the alumnae and honorary members. One of the spreads was given for the new upper class girls, who were elected in December. Minerva elects no Freshmen this year until the end of the College year, a plan which promises to be more successful and satisfactory for all concerned than the old arrangement. A farce, Rubber Boots, was given November 25 for the new girls, honorary members and other friends of the society. There have been two very, very pleasant joint meetings, one with Contemporary and the other with Hypatia. The Minerva Fair, which has become an annual event, was held December 20. This took most of our time and attention during the fall. With the help of the faculty ladies, alumnae and many friends it was a great success, adding $150 to our cherished club house fund. The Minerva Function, the great event of the year, was held in the Christmas holiday season, December 1 3, in Ticknor Hall. This affair took many weeks of plan- ning to improve former customs and to invent new ones in order to make it the best function yet. The guests were received by Miss Barbee and Miss Loomis. After the reception came the progressive luncheon, which is the distinctive feature of the functions. At the end of each course the men progressed to new partners. Jests and bright ideas gleaned from one table were received at the next with great applause. Time passed only too quickly, the function was over and Minerva had celebrated her fourteenth anniversary.

Founded on broad principles, guided by high and noble ideals, actuated by all that is best in literature, music, oratory and debate, the society has attracted some of the brightest minds in the College. The standard of a society is always measured by the character of the men who compose it and Pearsons points with pride to the many places of trust and honor held by her members in other college organizations. With representatives on the boards of the Nugget, the Tiger and the Y. M. C. A.; with two class presidents, the captaincy of the football team and track team; with leaders in oratory and music, a field in which Pearsons has always led, the society shows ijs aim and position. Pearsons still claims the originality and progressiveness of its predecessors in Pear- sons as evidenced this year by the successful minstrel show which it gave. The years come and go very swiftly in this pleasant college life, but in the literary halls each one yields its harvest of gain from the effort sown. Each takes away some familiar face but leaves instead a legacy of new ones. Each sees the panorama only slightly changing of the regular weekly gatherings, the more brilliant joint meetings, and, the crowning event of them all, the annual banquet. But throughout the changing years the members of Pearsons point with pride to the records of the past and strive faithfully on, in the present, to be true to their trust — that of making the Pearsons Literary Society an organization of which Colorado College may justly be proud. 154 Colot a o College Trarifroofc 381 ug$t §stifitu Contemporary Club was organized in 1 899 to meet a definite need of the College, one society no longer being sufficient for the rapidly increasing number of girls. The orig- inal purpose of the Club was, as its name signifies, to sustain an interest in contemporane- ous matters. This purpose has broadened with succeeding years until now our range is not so limited and we study the literature and history of other centuries as well as of our own. A very pleasant and informal gathering is that held in Pearson ' s Club House at five o ' clock on Friday afternoon. Here Seniors lay aside their dignity and Freshmen their timidity and spend a happy hour together, forgetting all differences of class or hall, in their great love for Contemporary. Our programmes usually consist of music, and two dis- cussions upon some phases of the subject we have chosen for our term ' s work. This year we have been especially pleased with our programmes. Nothing could have been more interesting than our study of Robert Louis Stevenson, the first semester, and our discus- sion of the Literature of the South, the second semester. The success of The Critic, given by the Club two years ago, emboldened us to again venture into dramatic fields this year. The Heart-burning Tragedy of Julius Caesar while inferior, perhaps, in some respects to Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar, is nevertheless a clever little comedy and greatly delighted the audiences before which it was presented. Socially, we have two annual functions — our german and our function in the spring — and in addition many jolly little spreads and picnics for the initiated few. These serve to strengthen and preserve that feeling of comradeship and intimacy that pervades the inner life of our Club. There is true fraternity spirit in Contemporary. We have purposely kept our mem- bership small for we feel that with larger numbers the unanimity and harmony that has always prevailed in our Club would be impossible. We work and pl ay together. For the future, the members of Contemporary hope to keep the inner life of the Club strong and sweet, and to always preserve that careful distinction between the social and the intellectual which characterizes broadminded, purposeful womanhood. 155 -o (3 c c 12 15 .2 o G -G 4 Z u c 5 — 1 o E c o c c IS - „ M -G CO c H a - co c , c i rt fl i; ji 2 u, j i n3 cu H ■ JZ a U c  F c - « [-■h US « « _2 u o c 3 o -c « W _S - £ S CQ -g S JfflQ OJ 72 G (« C __ U o (U 2 a as a OTTPATM Color .mo Course ¥r.n 3Joo1; fl.rusVjt- rtorM ?jjyjratra. Hypatia is the youngest of the literary societies of Colorado College. It was or- ganized in October, 1903. The urgent need then existing for the formation of another girls ' literary society is shown by the fact that twenty-eight girls signed the constitution as charter members. We owe much of our success during that year of our infancy to the material help given us by Minerva and Contemporary, Mrs. Slocum, Miss Loomis, Mrs. Ida Hamilton, and Mrs. Urdahl, who is our patroness. At the opening of College each year we give for the ne w girls an Autumn Spread. Some time during the year we entertain Mifierva and Contemporary. This year we in- vited them to enjoy with us Professor Ahler ' s lecture on Germany University Life. Last winter we gave the first of the annual functions, to which we invite our friends, including the presidents of the other four College societies. The function took place in February, and consisted of the representation of Cranford, followed by a Colonial dinner. Be- sides these formal social affairs, Ticknor Study is frequently the scene of jolly dances and spreads given by the officers to the other members of the Society. Our Society was established in order to secure training in literary style, in public speaking, in parliamentary rule, and in such related lines of mental culture. Each semester is devoted to the study of some one subject, though several meetings each half are spent in parliamentary drill. Last semester we s tudied Ancient Art, beginning with that of Egypt and closing with Roman Art at the dawn of the Christian Era. This semester we have taken up the Florentine Painters.

It is the one occasion of the year when everyone in the College from Prexie to the humblest first Cad come together for a hilariously good time. From early dawn of the memorable day, the knowing Sophs, forgetful of their nobler destiny, have labored at each menial task of preparation. Again and again the great freight wagon returns, heaped high with logs and mighty timbers for the great bon- fire which is to surpass in magnitude and grandeur any bonfire ever beheld on Washburn Field. Then as the sun sinks behind the glistening peak, taking a last look at the busy scene, barrels of mellow cider, loads of roast beef, pickles, apples, great bags of peanuts and pumpkin pies without number are beginning to arrive. Blithesome maidens, the fair- est of them all, are storing up each military ration ; the ancient and honored drapery is arranged with skillful hands, and the hidden fire of the glaring jack o ' lanterns lends to all a spectral hue amid the gathering darkness. Now the wily urchins, thwarted at each entrance by a watchful Soph., are gathered in countless numbers on the roof of the spacious grandstand, like bees clinging outside the hive on sultry days. Soon the merrymakers arrive. First of all the verdant Freshmen, casting looks of withering scorn at the important mien of their natural enemies, yet withal seeing a recompense for their emptied purses in the bounteous store; now the honored Profs, with all their clan, are mingled in the surging crowd, filling every seat; now the lingering ones are hastening in, and on seeing at the entrance a well-known face, it is not oft one fails to see another close behind — and only one. The rattle of tin cups, the stamp of feet and clamor of many voices suddenly cease. McCreery, the president of all Sophs, addresses words of welcome and of cheer, and those who cannot hear still can see the puffs of frosted breath floating out into the cold 169 Colorado College ¥r r Hoofc If AHflljt-ScfrcH air. Then the loved and honored founder of the Hallowe ' en Barbecue of Colorado Col- lege is greeted with cheers and loud acclaim as he recounts tales of barbecues of bygone days and deigns to spin some yarns of Stneby ' s brand, which no one can resist. Ahlers, far-famed and feared by those who know him best, speaks as is his wont, but, as many a man with marital ties, he dares not speak as funny as he can. Those of limitless supply of heated air now are called upon to warm the frosty night. Allebrand, the most verdant of all Freshmen and their chosen leader, responds in a way that left no doubt as to his rank. And now a universal groan goes up at sight of Hedblom, and at the thought of jokes so old as long to have been forgotten by all save him. Soon he, too, will scarcely dare to speak as funny as he can — but for a different reason. Willis, the ancient land- mark of our parts, speaks words of wondrous wisdom as only Seniors can, and at that speech full many a sigh is breathed at thought of him and other Seniors, departed for distant scenes ' ere another barbecue returns. And now the happy moment has arrived. With cup in hand each surges towards the corner booths, then hurries to the roaring bonfire. Apples and pies now disappear in wondrous wise ; a cry goes up and soon, with dangling arms and legs, a luckless Fresh- man follows. Other Freshmen are selected out with most discriminating care; they have their ups and downs and then, perchance, a Soph, or hopeless Junior, lacking still in some essential part, receives to this effect a hint both broad and oft repeated. Closer and closer around the collapsing heap the merry crowd is drawn, as if the dying fire possessed some mystic power of attraction. One by one the timbers topple into its midst and soon all is collapsed, with here and there a flickering slab smoldering among the glowing embers. Slowly the lingering crowd melts away into the frosty night. The Barbecue of Hallowe ' en, the best one ever, is now a thing of memory. READY FOR THE MATCH 170 Colorado CoUrQcYrarafooft ll.TMgtjt-Sctofit (Hutin Aratomg. Cutler Academy has seen another successful year, one which has meant a great deal to many of its members. During the last year Cutler has maintained her usual high standard in athletics. For the second time she has won the championship of the Southern Colorado Baseball League and has made an excellent try for State championship. Some of the best men of last year will not be in again this season, but prospects are bright for a winning team. In track athletics also the Academy has been very successful, winning second place in the meet held here last spring, in which the High Schools of Southern Colorado par- ticipated. « On account of lack of funds, no football team was put in the field last fall, but it is hoped that next fall Cutler will be able to have a team and one which will be as plucky as the team of 1 904. The work of the literary societies has steadily increased in interest and the students are realizing more than ever the importance of such societies and their influence upon their other work. Philo, the girls ' society, has studied the lives and works of American and English writers. The study has not been dry, but has proven interesting and instructive and the meetings, almost without an exception, have been characterized by enthusiasm and real enjoyment. The first meetings of each month have been devoted entirely to music. On these occasions, papers or talks are given on the lives and compositions of great musicians, and the meetings enlivened by vocal and instrumental music. The three so- cieties of the College have shown their good will toward Philo by sending critics to the meetings, — a kindness for which Philo has been extremely grateful. Hesperian Society has lived up to its good reputation also. Although no debates have been held with other schools, this feature of the Society ' s work has by no means been neglected. By good, conscientious effort Hesperian has won its place in the life of the Academy and by the same kind of appreciation it means to keep its place. The feeling of independence is growing in the school. Cutler is proud of old Colorado College and what the College has done for her, but she is prouder still of the fact that she is standing alone, and yet not standing still, but marching along as the years go by to take her place with the best preparatory schools of the country.

Now it came to pass after these things that in the third month and on the 24th da)) of the month, that a certain wise scribe who did much butt about with both eyes open, did espy numerous young men and maidens, which Were fussing over against Colorado Col- lege; so that he did say in his haste, ' ' All men are fussers. Wherefore, did he seek for to find out the cause of this evil, and he did enquire dili- gently, from many men; and some said one thing and some another, but behold, no man could tell. Wherefore did he search the Ladies ' Bum Journal and did put out certain laws for all fussers. Wherefore, O foolish fusser, give ear unto the law, and attend thereto with much unction, neither depart at any time therefrom. My son, if fussers entice thee, give them the bounce. Be meek an d lowly of heart, slow to butt in and plenteous of horse sense; never be of a froward tongue and inclined to much babbling, lest peradvenlure, when thou lift up thy voice in the library for to fuss. Mr. Ormes, who Hketh not the undertone, will l?an thee speedily, neither will he let thee in at any time. Fuss not about for to be see n of men, neither Walk to and fro before chapel, for it doth happen that many snapshots are thus taken and many maidens do sore lament. But when thou fusseih, seek ou ' a secluded place, and let not thy right hand know what thy left hand holdeih; not slothful of spirit, fervent in fussing, getting much done. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning to seek for to fuss, that tarry long in the library alone, for the lynx-eyed librarian shall come down on thee like a thief in the night, and in an hour that thou wot not, and shall k an thee, and shall smite thee, hip and thigh, with much unction. He that being often called up, fusseth much about, shall surely be fanned, and that right speedily. Hike not at all to the canons with a young and tender maiden. Neither be one of them who delighteth much in moonlight walks, and the holding of hands, lest the gentle maid Weary of thy childish prattle; but rather attend thou diligently the University Exten- sion lectures, and content thyself with blowing thy good coin in at Tamm ' s, for the gentle Henry loveth much the sound of silver, whereby his profits are augmented. Study to show thyself at all times dead wise; neither be slow to gel next, but seek f° r to £« ' it all the time, for it is not good for man to be alone. Be not wise in thy own conceit, but let thy horri be exalted like the horn of the unicorn, and perchance a gentle maiden, taking council with herself, shall find herself much enamored of thee; and verily it shall appear that thou hast made a great killing, and who knoweth but that thou art come for such a time as this. Neither give ear to them who seek to deride thee, for they are a stiff-necked and per- verse generation, who long for a stand-in, yet get nothing done. Rejoice; be exceeding glad, for so persecuted they the fussers which were before thee. Selah! 4 ♦ 4 When people put all their reliance On the coeducational science.

When I consider how in years agone I was a guileless Freshie, young and green. With lisping tongue, and blush and awkward mien, — When I go back to that first feeble dawn Of intellect, I marvel much, I swan. (Pardon emotion, but I cannot screen My feelings.) Well, then, this is what I mean: When I consider what a luckless pawn I was upon the College chess-board then, Moved yon and hither by the careless hand Of each professor, then I marvel much How from that Freshman, was it I? Oh, hen! ' Twas I, alas! How I then, reached the grand Estate of Senior. Oh, it beats the Dutch! II. As much it stirs my wonder to behold A some-one whom they say to me was I As Soph ' more. Can it be?

Let ' s drop the painful subject since the truth is told. Yet from that state of foolish wisdom, see, I ' ve evoluted, as it were, and now Behold me stand refulgent in my state, My present state of proud seniority.

I dreamed I saw my late interred Math Rise like to Hamlet ' s father from the grave. I called on all the powers that be, to save When lo ! the specter vanished from my path, And in its place stood English C in wrath. And yet withal a stupid, sleepy knave. I faced the caitiff with a count ' nance brave And lo! that specter, too, evanished hath And in its place a huge, two-headed ghost (The one huge head yclepid Ec, the other, Psych.)

With intellectual brow but aspect green Might be immortalized in verse, but farms Could not entice me on such subjects to embark When one I have whose praises I can sing Full loud and lustily, from morn till night.

V. Painter. Firs V ze Story. Chuck it, you geezer! Pedy moved a little closer to the lamp and went on reading. Supper was over, the dishes washed and cleared away, and lounging around their combination dining-, living- and sleeping-room, a group of Cutler College boys, working in the Cripple Creek District during the summer, were lazily plaguing one of their num- ber who was trying to study. From some mysterious source a horse fly dangled and dropped onto the open book before him. He held one coldly calculating eye on the dan- gler and inwardly grinned. No, he would not grab that fly, nor the innocent pin it con- cealed. But he smothered his rising inclination to get into the fun, and with an inward sigh, forced his mind back to the pages of his book. The tormentors looked at each other helplessly. Pedagogy in the dumps! Who ' d ever heard of it! I wonder why Stubby — began Buck, but suddenly left off while they all stared at each other, the light of a startling possibility dawning upon their countenances. He was going to say, I wonder why Stubby doesn ' t get back with the mail, when the thought of Stubby solved the problem. When had Stubby or Pedy ever gone for the mail alone before? Had they quarreled? Instinctively they all looked at Pedy. His eyes were glued to his book, but he wasn ' t seeing anything. There was a lump in his throat that he couldn ' t swallow. Now and then it made the page blur before him. He wished the fellows would go on and act as they always did. He didn ' t want to study — wished now he ' d grabbed that fly, just — there was a stealthy move from the rear and Pedy felt one leg encroached upon. Then the light went out, and for five solid minutes nobody could find the lamp. When finally it was run down in a corner of the room and relig hted, Ped- agogy was discovered performing the office of bench for three unconcerned whistlers. Ransy stood at the table and rapped it noisily: Gentlemen, having extinguished our illustrious friend, who in benighted ignorance prefers base learning to the noble art of music, we will commence our evening concert. All those who have sneaked in without paying their thirty cents will be required to stay throughout the performance. Ladies please remove picture hats and criticisms. He cleared his throat formidably, and simultaneously his chorus of three drew in a monstrous breath and sat with mouths expectantly open. Ransy spluttered suspiciously, and three pairs of innocent accusing eyes were turned upon him. He drew up bravely — Drat you, Buck, take that look off o ' your face! — and then he began in a questionable baritone — Mandy Lee, Ah love yo ' , yes Ah do! The refrain was taken up by the three in improvised harmonies, accenting each phrase by a hearty poke on the man underneath. The music soared and crescendoed. In the pause 193 editor ? College ¥cavi oof; WLxutifyt- tbtu before the second verse Pedy emitted a very disgusted grunt. Rotten! Rotten! Re- fund me money! A hand was placed obligingly over his mouth and the song continued. Now Pedy was as good natured as the College makes them; he didn ' t resent the fact that those three warblers were sitting on his healthy anatomy — no, not one bit — but to interfere with his freedom of speech, Ach Gracious! — he pulled up his knees with a sudden jerk, and while Mac ' s head interviewed the floor Pedy turned on his side and roared in a stentorian bass: Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main. A musical chaos reigned. Mandy Lee and Sailing rassled around the room, out the window, up the chimney. Buck ' s voice gave out and he pounded the floor with rhythmic kicks. A timid knock at the door was repeated many times. Ransy finally heard it and opened the door in the benumbing silence that followed his frantic gesticulations. The light fell on the frightened face of a little girl who stood with one foot on the other, and with her fingers twining in and out and all around each other. Hello, Mary! What ' s up! Come in? To the last question she shook her tight little braids in mild negation. Why — she caught her breath and swallowed, looking at Ransy with round eyes. He smiled as only Ransy could, and in a torrent of words she lisped, Mama thays, would you pleath not thing tonight, cauth we ' re havin ' mishnary meetin ' at our houth, an ' Mither Bale can ' t even hear when to thay ' amen. ' With one horrified glance into the room, she b olted down the steps and across her yard (a distance of only five feet). Ransy carefully closed the door and gazed with solemn eyes at the four convulsed figures rolling on the floor. O Lordy? gasped Buck. Ransy rubbed his chin dubiously. I wonder how long they ' ll work that ' mishnary ' deal? Promptly at 9:30 Pedy let down his folding bed, turned down the covers on one side, and placed one pillow. Buck felt that something should be said. O, say, he began, and then because he knew he never had said the right thing at the right time, he helplessly jabbed his hands deep in his trouser ' s pockets and turned to scowl ferociously at Mac, who was sewing a button on his jumper. In the midst of the strained silence Stubby came in, not in his usual boisterous, merry way, flinging the door wide open with never a thought of shutting it, throwing his cap at any one who wasn ' t looking, tossing coat, bucket, or whatever he might chance to have in his arms, upon the table, and generally, by way of more effusive greeting, climbing Ransy ' s (the giant all-state guard ' s) frame. No, it was not that Stubby, but a sort of water color imitation, as Buck afterward phrased it, who stepped modestly in, closed the door, and was even satisfied with the only vacant chair! Then it was so. Pedy and Stubby, the Twins, had quarreled ! The silence was nerve-racking. Mac jabbed viciously with his needle at the un- offending cloth, pricked his thumb and sat staring dumbly at it while it bled. Buck, the impulsive, jumped to his feet with a clatter and made a grab for the noisy little alarm clock. Stubby broke the silence with an effort. I ran into Lane this evening. He was on his devil-may-care, and handed me a lofty good-evening. Even Pedy felt the relief, though all looked serious as Ransy quickly asked: Anything suspicious, Stub? Nary a suspish — but if he isn ' t one of the slick- est ' high-graders ' in this camp, then I miss my guess. 194 Stubby was trying to be his old self. It was a threadbare attempt, but everyone pre- tended not to notice, and the strain was being relieved when Buck, after a sudden loud peal of thunder from an approaching storm, inadvertently exclaimed: Cracky! Hear that thunder! I ' m for turning in I And everyone stared at that one-sided bed of Pedy ' s. On the instant Stubby turned to Ransy with an enforcedly light manner. Guess I ' ll bunk with you, Ran ' , Buck can have my — a — side of the bed. It was past the regular bed time; the storm was rattling down on the little cabin as if striving to annihilate it. In silence each one busily prepared for bed, and soon the cabin was in darkness and its six tired inmates, stretched out on cots and beds in all manner of possible attitudes, were sleeping the health-giving sleep of youth, utterly oblivious to the storm without. About 1 :30 a loud and startling summons at the door brought them out of bed with a jump. Ransy was first to the door with a lighted candle in his hand. The storm had passed, and the calm white moon, peeping through the breaking clouds, disclosed the mud- bespattered figure of the Superintendent of the Gold Nugget mine. Mr. Lee? questioned Ransy surprisedly. Yes. There are six of you here, Ransy? Yes, sir. I want you all. How many with Butler? Four. Arm yourselves and come to Butler ' s cabin. Not waiting for an answer, he was off, to rouse Butler and his companions. In five minutes Ransy and his men appeared. Each one was bursting with excite- ment and curiosity, but not one calm exterior betrayed the fact. Lee spoke rapidly : Boys, we ' ve got ' em — Lane and his gang! His exultation was reflected on each face before him. The storm caught me coming down from the mine. You know Old Man Sulli- van ' s shack, a little off the trail? Yes! Yes! came eagerly. Well, it ' s the cleverest fake yet. It hides the old discovery shaft of the Nugget, and has always been kept a secret. I ran to it for shelter — saw a light through a chink in the back — suspected some- thing crooked. Lane ' s stumbled onto the shaft and is bringing up high-grade from some ' cache ' down in the mine. They ' re probably going to make a ' shipment ' tonight. We must catch them with the goods on ' em — and then no shyster lawyer can get ' em away from us, he concluded savagely, thinking of the difficulties mine owners had been having in proving charges of high-grading. When we get to the shack, surround it immediately and wait for them to come out. Don ' t let a man get away. There ' s a reward for every one of ' em. Now come on — we haven ' t time to get the police. As it happened, Stubby went at the head with Ransy and Lee and Pedy stumbled along in the rear. It was pitch dark, they were following no trail, and the ground was wet and slippery. But none seemed to notice it except Pedy, who swore to himself at every slip. It was all his fault — he knew it. But that was just his bull disposition — get sulky and not take a little fun. And then Stubby, like the white fellow he is, had stayed out all 195 Colorado CoUcflr¥e r iloofe 3Mjmgf)t- ttotn evening not to make it noticeable. But still sore, he had made the bed up on his side only — and again Stubby had played the generous part, taking it all on himself by proposing before the bunch to sleep with some one else. Stubby was the whitest kid that ever drew a breath. And he knew that if he went up to him and held out his hand, that Stubby would take it with his ready smile, and forgive the whole affair. But no, he didn ' t deserve to be forgiven yet, that was too easy. He needed to be made to suffer a while longer. So he concluded, kicking viciously at a shadow before him, and almost falling on his face. Up ahead, Stubby was thinking of Pedy, wishing he hadn ' t plagued him when he saw he was out of sorts. A fellow wants to be let alone, sometimes, and he ' d ought to be kicked for making him flare up. It was all his fault — he ' d apogolize to Pedy before all the fellows the minute they got back to the cabin. The party had now but to cross a gulch, scramble up the side of the next hill and they were soon above and a little in the rear of the old shack. Through the tiniest chink a ray of light gleamed steadily. They ' re still there, whispered Lee, no noise — spread out, and surround the place. They waited in tense silence. Off to the right fitful lightning flashes marked the course of the recent storm. Stray gusts of wind still blew about them. The moon was lost behind a last heavy bank of the rapidly dispersing clouds. Pedy moved a step nearer to Mac and stumbled on a rock. It made the noise of an avalanche in that exaggerated stillness. The silence that followed was pregnant with expectation — but relaxed again into tense waiting. The light went suddenly from the chink, and each man crouched low to the ground, alert and eager. There was a stealthy creaking of the door, and two forms crept out, closely followed by three more, all carrying heavy bundles. They paused an instant to watch a sixth who was softly locking the door. There was a short smothered oath — the first two men went down. Hands up, damn you! cried Lee, showing a brace of big Colts in the faces of the three astonished men who had whirled at the sound of the scuffle. The man at the door sprang to his left, brushed a leaping figure aside, and with another bound would have been clear, when a dark, diminutive body came hurtling through the air and caught him square at the knees. The burly miner went down with a crash and a curse, striving to break from the wiry arms that had so neatly spilled him. A knife gleamed wickedly in the air, when out of the darkness sprang another form that leaped upon his half raised body with all the fury of a wildcat, driving his head against the rocky ground with a dull thump. Ransy came running up with a lantern and disclosed to view Stubby and Pedy, sitting astride the quiet form of Lane and in the act of bestowing upon each other a large and solemn wink. 196 Colorado College ¥car ilooft llatiftljt-Scfrctt GJlp Mb.

For ' twould never do at all, Don ' t you know, To have racket in the hall, That would surely mean a call From below. Listen what your duty tells In the clanging of the bells, In the jangling and the clanging Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells, In the clanging and the jangling of the bells. 197 Color eoUc0c¥tar aloof; 11 Hfl1)t- cl o Miss Nina Eldridge. Second Prize Story. That Platte River is sure a terror. As this was an unprovoked remark, I knew that a story was behind it, so I laid down my paper, and, rolling a cigarette, prepared to listen. Alex Riley was foreman of the Three Cross outfit, and was sitting in the doorway of the bunkhouse at the close of a hard day ' s work with the branding irons. He never smoked, and the boys used to say that he spent his cigarette time either thinking up a story or telling one. You heard about N ixon an d He id, I s pose : No, answered I quite truthfully, though I wouldn ' t have admitted it if I had. I was too fond of Alex ' s stories. Alex swung one lanky leg over the other, tipped back his Stetson, and began: None of us liked Jim Nixon, but it wasn ' t hard to see why ; he was one of the kind the boys call ' smart ' , and they don ' t say it to be complimentary, either. He was a pretty good- looking sort of chap, too, kind of tow-headed, with his hide all white up under his hair, blue eyes and a pert little yellow mustache; he wasn ' t very tall, but straight as an Indian. When he said he could ride, the boys just sized up the shape of his legs and winked. It takes a bow-legged man to ride, you know. But he could ride well enough to spoil every horse he had anything to do with — all but Molly, a big sorrel mare of his own. I tell you, she was sure an alright horse, quick, easy and handsome. I could almost like Jim, sometimes, for the sake of his horse. Every other horse, tho ' , looked like some old skate in about a week under Jim ' s care. But his style of riding kept improving right along, even if the horses did get the worst of it, until one day he rode ' Cyclone, ' as bad a horse as we had, and rode him as straight as any broncho-twister in the outfit. That sort o ' surprised us, for we hadn ' t given him credit for a gram o ' sand. But as time went on he got more uppish than ever, and kept on treating horses worse, until the boys fairly hated him, and I don ' t believe he had a friend in the Three Cross, horse nor man. Along toward the end of the summer, we were cutting out a big bunch of cattle for shipping, and were camped about a quarter of a mile from the river. It was after supper and the boys were all sitting around camp, everybody wanting the mail from Goldsmith pretty bad, but nobody wanting to risk crossing the river to get it. No sensible man monkeys with the Platte River if he can help it, not when it ' s bank-full, anyway, as it was then. Finally Joe Hammond gathered up his long legs, put his pipe in his pocket, and said, ' If you fellers want yer news and yer love letters, I s ' pose I ' d better play the Star Route. Kids like you can ' t be expected to wet yer feet. ' 199 Color Afro eoUcflcyc Avaioott 3f uflf)f -Scttm Joe was one of the best men in the outfit: muscles like a steel trap, and nerve — well, say, he just naturally didn ' t know how to be scared. Cool, too. Bud Haley used to tell a story about Joe ' s coolness that was pretty good. Seems that Bud and Joe were driving a pair of bad broncs, and they broke away down a steep hill, upset the wagon, and got themselves wedged in between a couple of rocks so tight they couldn ' t move. Joe was thrown one side, and Bud the other. Bud jumps up and runs toward the team, yell- ing like mad for Joe to come quick. Joe don ' t come, so Bud thinks he must be killed and climbs up on the rock and peeks over. There sits Joe just where he struck, calmly build- ing him a cigarette. ' What ' s the rush? ' says Joe, ' they can ' t get loose. ' Well, as I say, Joe started for his horse and Jim jumped up, too. ' Where you going? ' asked Joe. ' Goldsmith, ' said Jim. Of course Joe wouldn ' t say a word against it, but Hank Smith, Billy Turner and some of the others exchanged a few remarks about ' young fools that thought they could do anything a real cowpuncher did, ' but in a few minutes they were ready, and I remember Jim calling back as they started, ' Here ' s a horse that ' ll follow any cowpuncher ' s lead, and I guess her rider won ' t hang back. ' That was Jim all over. He thought he was strictly ' It, ' and Molly was the one horse on earth to him. It was only three miles to Goldsmith, so they could easily get back before dark. The boys watched them ride off, Jim leaning far back against the cantle of his saddle, Molly trying to make her lope a run ; Joe sitting loose-jointed and easy on a bay cow pony that looked most too small for a man of his size. ' They ' d look better if they ' d trade horses, ' said one of the boys as they disappeared over the river bank. That was so, but everybody was too busy watching them cross, as they came in sight again, to answer. They crossed all right, but the water almost carried them off their feet a time or two, and we knew that it was rising. Still we weren ' t specially anxious, altho ' we knew, too, that Joe and Molly carried the brains of the party. In less than an hour they came in sight again, and instead of crossing where they did before, they tried a place about twenty yards higher up. That was usually a better crossing, so we didn ' t pay much more attention till Hank yelled out, ' What ' s the matter with them fellers, anyhow? They ' ve had time to get across twice. ' With that he started on a run for his horse, and the whole crowd followed him, but in a minute more, Jim and Molly appeared on the bank. By this time the whole Three Cross outfit was racing like a pack of Indians for that river bank, but you see, we had quite a piece to go, and be- fore we were half way there we saw Jim turn Molly like a flash and disappear over the bank again. Not a man spoke, but Hank turned in his saddle and gave me one look that said as plain as words, ' Jim Nixon, who ' d ' ve thought it? ' None of us, anyway, but it was sure true. You see Molly had carried him over safe enough, but Joe was a little too heavy for his horse, for the current was a little stronger there than below, and Jim had turned back to help him. Well, there ain ' t much more to tell. When we got to the bank a minute later, they were out of sight, and altho ' we hunted all night and all the next day, we didn ' t find them till sunset. Two miles below the crossing we found Joe, and we never did find the cow pony. About midnight we found Jim and Molly, Jim with one twisted foot still in the stirrup. His good looks was mostly spoiled, but when that boy ' s white face was pulled up out of the black river, I tell you that every man ' s hat came off, and Wyo- ming stars never looked down on a stiller lot of cowpunchers. 201 Colorado College Teat ooi If augf)t-Set etf THE COLORADO MASCOT.

A. Sophia More. A beautiful September twilight found me and my worldly possessions marshalled for entrance into Montgomery. Caesar, before crossing the fateful Rubicon, never experi- enced graver meditations or greater fears. I was facing the first crisis of my life. I was entering college for the first time. Would my life here prove a success or a gross fail- ure? The issue rested with myself alone. These were serious thoughts for one of my irresponsible nature. As I peered into the wide hall that looked for all the world like the jaws of a monster in the purple twilight, I was seized with a wild desire to bolt. How I longed for the wings of Pegasus to carry me back to the verdant pastures of my youth where it is a folly to be wise. But no Pegasus came — instead I was introduced to the matron. Now, this matron had a husband. I met him, too — afterwards. It was then I learned that husbands are merely figureheads in the economy of life — domestic economy, I mean. It was tea time and the young ladies of the house were assembled in the hall, when the matron, fol- lowed by her husband, passed through the crowd. Even as the waters of the Red sea fell back to let the Israelites pass, so these girls made a pathway for the powers that be. Now, one incident con- THE MATRON PASSES nected with this jarred on my maid- enly sense of propriety. The matron majestically forged ahead like the prow of an oncom- ing ship. The young ladies, anx- ious to occupy a conspicuous seat in the matron ' s good graces, stood up and behaved themselves in a seemly manner. Not so when the matron ' s husband passed. As soon as she was well out of sight these girls turned all the batteries of smiles and eyes on that one lone man. Such is the nature of woman. THE MATRONS HUSBAND PASSES ' 209 Color .tiro College ¥rar liooVt If .titatlt-Scfcctf H-H-fl. Was I initiated? you say. Ah, yes! an initiation of several long weeks ' duration. That is all over now, and I am trying hard to for- give them who caused me such dis- comfort. Those were bitter times when my unsophisticated mind was trying to grasp the new concept of college life wh ich my fellow citizens told me consisted in letting the greenhorns do the work, and the oth- ers do the mischief-making. One morning when I had just de- cided to take this cheerful view of life philosophically, I opened my door, with my face wreathed in the smiles born of a new resolution. Alas, for my smiles, and alas for my resolution ! MY FRIENDS BUILT A BARRICADE ' My friends had built a barricade of mops, brooms and all available furniture against my door. As I opened the door I met these unwelcome visitors face to face. They threw their arms about me and I was borne to the floor amid their affectionate em- braces. A cloud of dust and a series of yells. For the time being I thought I had fin- ished with this heartless world. It seemed pathetic that my span of years should be so brief. Goodbye, proud world, I ' m going home, rang out despairingly from my lips. I closed my eyes — only to find I was very much alive after all. It was in November of my life at Montgomery that I had my first lesson in tennis. Since then I have risen to such excellence that I am often asked where I learned the stroke. The secret will now be ex- posed for the first time. I am a self-made tennis player. This is how it happened. It was long after ten o ' clock, the hour when all revelry by night is sup- posed to cease. But even eleven o ' clock did not find us at peace. As a punishment for general misbehav- ior we were chasing one of our mem- bers up and down the hall with ten- nis rackets. Fast and furious waxed the fun. Redder waxed the ma- iron ' s face at the foot of the stairs. MIRABILE DICTU Tired of the fight I finally went to my room — when I suddenly heard a faint noise in the hall. I seized my racket again and sallied forth to chastise my untimely visitor. Just as I was bringing down my racket on her with a glorious sweep and display of 210 Colorado CoMr jjc ¥ vn Uool, If ,Ktt0fjt-Srfecu muscle my arm was seized in a vise-like grip. Mirabile dictu! it was the matron! I was ordered to my room. Yes, I, even I, the amateur in college pranks, was thus convicted. Along with my first lesson in tennis I learned another truth. A matron is no respecter of persons. ffl ifl rft ifl fip Sp The next month dragged wearily along. Nothing disturbed the even tenor of our way but occasional summons to appear and stand trial at the tribunal of the matron. Frequently we were favored with serenades. From the gasps and sighs that floated up to us we judged the musicians were on the verge of starvation. We threw down our last treasures — jelly, doughnuts and handfuls of peanuts — and were pleased to see the disturbance which their airy flight produced in the crowd below. One other night we threw down a candy heart. It lit with a crash on the tenors head. Poor man, I hear he is now suffering from a sweetheart on the brain. From their starved condition I would infer that a musician ' s lot is not a lucrative one. ¥ ¥ January was a month of mourning; a season when this crowd was not met in so-i cial circles. What caused it? Why, our failure one night to observe the specified time for home coming. Our permissions said we should return at 10:45. As we reached Montgomery the town clock struck one. Across the night air it seemed to say like a father reproving his children, The night is far spent, and day is at hand. There were few such delinquents. Our only worry was how to face the matron. Well, the five lined up before the tightly barred door, a veritable phalanx for defense in the time of trouble. Finally the door opened a fraction of an inch ; enough to show the matron carry- ing a candle. On her face we read Revenge is mine. Like mice that scatter away in the darkness before the approach of light, so we fled up the dark stairs into the inky gloom beyond. These five went home next day for Christmas vacation, trusting that our sins might be blown away by the blessed breezes of the Yule-tide season. Not so, the way of the transgressor is hard. For three long weeks we were forced to bury our woes in studying for want anything better to do. The savage had gone back to nature. I had learned another truth: Punctuality is the price of permission. Then April came; the month of showers. For months we had planned a joke to take effect April first. In those days, before the introduction of the stylish gong, the maid called us in the morning with a cow-bell. It was our purpose to secure that bell. It doesn ' t matter how we got it. At five o ' clock that morning, a morning dark and gloomy with rain descending in torrents, we rang that bell loud enough to arouse Pharoah himself. Even up to the territory of the matron, where no tres- passing was allowed, we went. APRIL 1st ' 211 Colorado Collect ¥cv rl?ooI; l m U tf$tn I think the most humorous situation I ever saw was that morning when the inmates of Montgomery stumbled out of their rooms wondering what was wrong with the maid ' s clock. Who do you suppose did that mean trick? May had come — a season when we rebelled heartily at staying indoors while Nature was inviting us to such pretty garden parties outside. It was in May that the bugs made their debut in insect society. Now our matron ' s husband was interested in bugs. From early morning till the lengthening shadows at evening enveloped old Montgomery, this biologist and his net could be seen scqunng the mesa for innocent victims. Sometimes the matron joined him on his quests. Well, Prospect is a good lake for boating and there ' s really no need of drowning. When the cat ' s away, the mice will play. That was ever true of human nature. WHEN THE CAT ' S AWAY. THE MICE WILL PLAY So our happy year at Montgomery drew to a close, and vacation was at hand. There were many attractions of summer freedom calling us away, but the subtle voices of friend- ship bade us continue this circle of friends lest it be broken when next we met. The memories of Montgomery henceforth will recall only the most pleasant and happy asso- ciations. Vive Montgomery! 212 C olor.iBo eollrflr % r,ir Jiooti ll.m jjl)f-Srt ru ? Alphabet nf pomta.

There ' s going to be a wedding at our house; I mean at the church, and afterwards lots of folks are coming here and have things to eat, and kiss the bride, and tell the groom what a lucky fellow he is, and all that kind of rot. I know all about it, and I ' m the one they ought to thank, for I made the match. You see, my big brother Jack graduated in June from the law school, and he ' s going into partnership with Dad; and what with that and getting married he thinks he ' s the whole cheese around these diggings; but let me tell you: if I hadn ' t butted into his affairs there ' d have been nary a wedding. Jack thinks because I ' m only ten, and not very big for my size, that I don ' t amount to much; at least that ' s what he used to think. I carried notes over to the girls ' hall at the College till I just naturally wore a path fr om our house to it, but one night he met his fate, ' ' as he likes to call it, and then I wore a path in another direction. There was a College dance, and I was rubbering in the window with a gang of kids, watching Jack make a fool of himself. He was capering around the hall with a girl in pink and I must say that his taste was O. K. She wasn ' t very tall, and Jack ' s a strapping big fellow, but she was pretty as a picture and had a kind of sweet look which made you think you wouldn ' t squirm awful hard if she tried to kiss you. But she looked as if she ' d have more sense than to try it. Pretty soon they stopped dancing and Jack and she came and sat on a little bench just under the window. She was saying that she had just come from the East, and Jack was making soie fool remark about the great loss which the East had experienced. Oh, slush! I yanked a string out of my pocket on which I had one of those black, crawly spiders which you get for a cent and use to chase girls with. I reached in the open window and dangled it before her face. Squawk? Gee! you oug ' iter heard her; ' twas better ' n a circus. Before I could cut and run Jack turned and caught my wrist and dragged me close to the window. Was I scared? Oh, no, not a bit! It ' s that infernal kid brother of mine, I heard him say. I ' ll fix him, little wretch! And then the funny thing happened. The girl, instead of having a genuine cat-fit as I expected, broke into a laugh, a real pretty laugh, sort of soft and ripply, and she looked up at Jack with the same ex- pression I use when I ' m teasing for a second piece of pie, and said: Please let him go, Mr. Dayton; he didn ' t mean to frighten me, I ' m sure. 216 Colorado College Tear iioof; llangljt-Scfrciy She smiled again and put her hand on his sleeve, and he dropped me as if I ' d been a hot cake, and stood like a stone, staring into her face, and then I scooted. After that I almost forgot how Jack looked, he was home so seldom, and I might just as well have been a messenger boy and be done with it, I carried so many notes. Her name was Beatrice Holmes, neice of old Judge Holmes, and she was stay- ing with him and taking some studies in College. I don ' t think much of girls as a whole, but she was different. She never asked you how you liked school or other crazy things. She didn ' t try to ask intelligent questions about baseball, but had sense enough to understand it when I explained it to her. She was a peach, all right. She thought Jack was the greatest show on earth, but she forgot to tell him so. She knew she had a mortgage on him and she used to treat him like a yellow dog, just to see how much he ' d stand. That ' s where she wasn ' t wise, for Jack isn ' t that kind of a guy. The final bust-up came when she turned Jack down in order to go to a dance with Frank Neil. Neil ' s handsome as the dickens, and has that kind of get-up and go that girls like, but otherwise he ' s about the limit. He had been calling on Bee off and on and had given her his photograph. Jack went to see her and told her that he could stand the turn-down but she shouldn ' t go to the dance with Neil. Be e ' s got a will of her own and there were fireworks between them, and Jack came home and locked himself in his room and said a word that I ' d get a licking for if anyone caught me saying it. Bee didn ' t go to any more dances with Neil; in fact she turned everyone down flat and didn ' t go at all, but Jack went every week and took a different girl each time, but he didn ' t seem to enjoy himself — looked kind of weary, and got off his feed. This went on for about a month and then one day I strolled over to the Judge ' s to see Beatrice. I didn ' t care if she and Jack were at outs; she was my pal and I wanted to tell her how I licked Jim Gordon, who is twelve and awful fat. The cook let me in and I went upstairs to Bee ' s room. The door was open and I saw something that sent me going South in a hurry. She was sitting at her desk looking at two photographs, one of Jack in his football toggery and the other of Neil. I felt kind of mean, but it was so interesting I just stood in the door and watched. She put Neil down and held Jack in both her hands and looked and looked at him as if she ' d never stop, and then she grabbed up Neil ' s picture and tore it in two and threw it in the waste basket. Gee ! I was tickled ! Then she picked up Jack ' s again, dear, old, homely Jack ' s, and suddenly flopped her head down on her arms and began to cry. I wonder if water hurts photographs? Maybe I didn ' t just hike out for home as if the Old Nick was after me. Jack was in his room with a don ' t disturb sign on the door, but I butted right in and told him what I ' d seen. He didn ' t even stop for his hat, he lit out so fast, and when he came back his face was just shining — and the wedding ' s next month. 2 - Btctionarg ' A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.

A few days before Thanksgiving Nell Barber was trying to study her Philosophy, but for a few moments her mind had wandered from Schwegler. Before she got back to him the laughter and excitement next door suddenly increased and scraps of the con- versation reached her. So she did not immediately settle down to her work again, though she firmly believed it was more elevating. Really, it ' s simply awful, Margaret Ford was saying. Not a single Senior engaged! And look at those two Juniors and Florence Barnes, a Soph! Even a Junior man has a fair lady in Nebraska. And tve, poor mortals, all gifted, all good-looking, and all eligible — and not a ghost of a love affair among us. I wish something real exciting would happen, Isabel Penn returned when the laugh died down a little. Just then another Senior entered. Well! What do you think? I ' ve stumbled onto a romance in the Freshman class. That Freshman baby, Mercy Moore, is engaged to a man in Kansas City — More? cried Margaret, Oh, mercy! Nell joined the laugh, then went to work once more. Suddenly she heard her name and Margaret was saying it would be a good joke if Nell should fall a victim to heart disease, because she had such a terrible aversion to the masculine gender. Then there was more laughter, for everybody knew of Nell ' s indif- ference to the men. She half closed her eyes as she leaned back in her chair and said to herself — We ' ll just see, Margaret. I ' ll make that laugh on you yet. Thanksgiving passed and Monday evening Nell returned from her vacation, radiant. I ' ve had the greatest time ever, she declared as she was unpacking her suit-case. Why, I was nearly willing to tear myself away from you all and stay forever and a day — only seeing it ' s my first visit to the Wood ' s, I feared I ' d wear out my welcome. Well, as long as you ' re here, we are satisfied, Isabel said. We looked for you last night and we were getting terribly frightened for fear one of those fine young men had fallen in love with you and carried you off. Nell shrugged her shoulders as usual at this sort of teasing, then her eyes and lips smiled suddenly. Margaret noticed it and lingered when the others went to work. Tell me who were there besides yourself, she said. Oh, Anna Wood and — Well? «► Mrs. Wood. Yes, of course. Any one else? Fred. Oh, your brother! Don ' t be so provoking. Do tell me, without my having to ask you a question for every word I get out of you. Wasn ' t there any dandy man or girl there — besides Fred? she added. Fred ' s old chum, Robert Linden of Chicago University — Is he a grad? No. He ' s a Senior there. I hadn ' t seen him since he first went there as a Fresh- 227 C o 4 o tviti o College Ittxv ttooY If ,t  $ t-Srtortf man and he ' s improved wonderfully. He ' s a fine man. His mother has been out here this fall and hasn ' t been very well. We had the grandest time. We — Who, you and your Mr. Robert? Why no, Margaret, of course not. All of us. We went skating several times and then when it snowed Saturday we had the finest sleighing before the snow began to go. As Nell talked she was putting things away and just then took a pile of papers and pictures from her suit case and laid them on her bed. Margaret picked them up and was idly fingering them when she stopped at a picture. Who is this? That ' s Robert, and Nell smiled to herself. Margaret saw the smile and drew her own conclusions. «. Nell! Did he beg you to take it off his hands? Well no, not exactly. It ' s one he gave Fred, and I just naturally took it off Fred ' s dresser. Of course Robert couldn ' t say anything, and Fred — well, I got the picture. Nell! Have you gone and done it? Done what? She asked, looking straight at Margaret ' s face while her eyes were dancing. Then she dropped them suddenly and, hiding her face on Margaret ' s shoulder, said shyly: Don ' t say anything about it, Margie. Then she suddenly changed the subject and would no longer talk about her visit. After Margaret left, Nell carefully placed the photograph on her desk. I have Margaret started now, all right. If she will only say something about it. That ' s the trouble. I ' m afraid she won ' t. But Margaret had stopped at an open door on her way down the hall. I don ' t l(noxv, of course, but I ' ll wager, if you go down to Nell ' s room and look, you ' ll find a handsome man occupying a prominent place on her desk, she said, and walked on. Isabel and her Sophomore friend rushed down to Nell ' s room and pounded on the door. No answer. So in they walked. There was the picture where Nell had placed it. Well, did you ever! But he ' s handsome! I wonder who he is, Isabel exclaimed. Lucia answered: I know him, I know I do. But who is it? Oh! Look here, her eyes had dropped to a sheet of paper on the desk. I couldn ' t help seeing — ' Dearest Robert ' — we ' re getting into something here. Robert — , Robert — Linden! That ' s who he is! He ' s a friend of Nell ' s brother, and he went to Northwestern, — no, Chicago University. Nell used to hate him. This letter looks as if she had changed her opinion about him. You don ' t imagine she wants us to see it, do you? I think we had better get out of this. And they slipped out of the room like two guilty culprits. Of course they met Nell in the hall. We had to go in and get a look at the man, Nell. Forgive us for not waiting till you were there to receive us. Nell, where did you find such a splendid fellow? He ' s fine! Isabel rattled on in her haste to cover her confusion. Now, never mind, my dear. Oh, Lucia, come in a few minutes before you go back to McGregor, will you? Nell answered. I ' ll come now, if you like. I ' m just starting for home. When the door was closed, Nell, I thought you didn ' t like him? Did you recognize him? What did you say to Isabel? 228 Colorado College ¥c.Tri oo ; If att0f t-Srtut I told her who he was — and that you hated him. Well, I probably shall hate him before I get through. Look here, Lucia, don ' t you let on to the girls, but Robert would have a fit if he knew a thing about this business. He sent this to Fred (I let Margaret think Robert was with us at the Woods ' ) and I helped myself to it to have some fun. He is so far away that it is perfectly safe to use his picture, and you are the only person in this place who knows him at all, besides my- self. So I am not afraid to make a fine joke out of it. You know none of the Senior girls has a love affair, and Margaret said last week that it would be great if I should fall a victim, seeing I ' m such a man-hater. Ergo — I fall! Now you may tell all the tales out of school you like, only don ' t tell the truth of the matter. What a joke, Nell. I ' d never have believed it of you, though. I ' ll help you, and — you know — she glanced toward the sheet of paper on the desk. Did Isabel see that? I don ' t know, really. But I did, and read it aloud. She heard it. Good. That ' s better than I could have hoped. Poor Robert, he does not know what he ' s into. Lie doesn ' t know he may be engaged in a few days. Lucky for me he doesn ' t. Lucia stopped at Isabel ' s door on her way home and said in a stage whisper: I guess it ' s sure enough. The Fates were with Nell and had conspired to help her. She had no very clear plans and one or two puzzles confronted her. So the next morning she jumped when Margaret came in with the mail. Here ' s a masculine looking letter from Chicago. It must be from the University. Do you know any one there? You ' re inquisitive, my dear young woman. Thank you very much for bringing it up, but I ' m very busy — good-bye, and Margaret, laughing, took the hint. The letter was from Fred, who had been suddenly sent to Chicago on business, which, he wrote, would keep him there indefinitely. Nell ' s answer was immediate. It ' s lucky for me you ' re in Chicago. Your picture of Robert has caused lots of excitement. The girls have us married already. Now, I have to hear from him often, and it is rather a delicate matter working that, since he is not a party to the affair. You be a good fellow and send me a letter every day or so, even if it ' s only a few sheets of blank paper. I won ' t ask you to write that often. Then the girls will think he is writing me volumes. But whatever you do, don I tell Robert a word of it all, if you see him. And I ' ll furnish the stamps if it breaks you up. For once Fred relished his sister ' s joke and more than did his duty by her. It was a week after Christmas vacation and the girls were gathered in Nell ' s room. After a momentary lull Florence Barnes said : How do you like your new Senior? What new Senior? all the Seniors spoke up. Haven ' t you seen him? Why, I saw him this morning over in the Dean ' s office. He ' s a splendid big fellow — too bad it isn ' t football season. He ' s good looking, too. Oh, my heart! Margaret exclaimed. Maybe I can ensnare him. What does he look like, Florence? He ' s dark, with black hair and fine eyes — I don ' t know what color. He looks like some one I ' ve seen but I can ' t place him. 229 Melburne? No, indeed. I know I ' ve seen him or else I have him confused with some one else. — Why! — she exclaimed, picking up Robert ' s picture. He looks like your dearly beloved, Nell! That ' s why I thought I knew him! Maybe it ' s the same, remarked Nell, provokingly. You can count yourself mighty lucky if your Robert is half as fine as this new Senior. You don ' t know what he ' s taking, do you? Did you hear him say? I wonder if he ' ll be in any of our classes. I ' m dying to see him, Margaret said. — Hello, Lucia, come in and make yourself at home. I just came to tell Nell a joke. Well — we ' re listening. Can ' t do it, Isabel dear. It ' s a secret between Nell and me. Really, I must be going, Nell. Oh, no, I shouldn ' t think °f letting Lucia drive me away. Come on, Margaret, it ' s time for you to go. Yes, I know. I must go over to the Library. Maybe he ' ll be there. Florence, you go along and introduce me. Of course. It doesn ' t matter in the least that I haven ' t met him. As soon as the door was closed behind the girls, Lucia said : Prepare yourself for a bomb. What would you say if I told you — er — Robert Linden is on the campus of Colorado College. What! Nell jumped up with her cheeks blazing. It ' s the best joke on you! ' He ' s so far away that it is perfectly safe to use his picture. ' What will you do now? He ' s here. I was talking to him about five min- utes ago. He didn ' t remember me at first. And he ' s going to be here the rest of the year! He worked himself to death and the doctors said if he wanted to finish this year he had to come to Colorado, and he came here. Oh, Lucia! I ' m thankful you didn ' t tell this before all the girls. What shall I do? He doesn ' t know he ' s in love with me, and won ' t he play the lover in fine style! The girls will think we ' ve fallen out, the way we ' ll probably treat each other. Come in! Miss Barber? A gentleman to see you. Very well, Mary. I ' ll be down in a moment — Can it possibly be Robert? Hope for the best. You ' re in a tight place. It was Robert. Fred had asked him to go and see Nell as soon as he could. He was glad to see her for her sake as well as Fred ' s, also she was the only person in the College he knew, and it seemed like old times to be talking and laughing with her. But Nell was different, somehow. She was not perfectly easy with him. She was cordial enough. Of course she was very much surprised at his being there, and some restraint was to be expected, since it had been several years since she had seen him. As he was leaving he remarked, Here ' s a message from Fred and I have a pack- age in my trunk for you which he sent. I ' ll bring it over. Thank you very much, and come to see me again soon, because ask you, you know. She read Fred ' s note as she went upstairs. Oh, this is so sudden! You will have to drive your own cart, now. I can no longer help you. And, dear sis, I wish you joy! Margaret had come in and passed through the hall while Robert was still there, but his back was toward her. So Nell went down to her room. 230 Color Alio eoUcflc¥c«ivaioof; If attflljt-ScMcu Margaret, did you get a look at the Senior man? Or wasn ' t he at the Lib? No, sir; I didn ' t see a sign of him. I ' m that mad! But let me tell you one thing, Nell, I shall write to Robert Linden of Chicago University tonight, and tell him that you allow men to call on you when you are engaged to him. Robert is no longer of Chicago University, she answered, trying to make a long face. Margaret looked up with a startled expression. Why? What ' s the matter with him? Where is he? Nell! Nell danced up to her and hugged her ecstatically. He ' s of Colorado College since this morning. He ' s the new Senior. He Oh, Nell! How lovely! Aren ' t you nearly crazy happy? And I am once more doomed to old maidenhood! Woe ' s me! Why didn ' t you let us know he was coming? And what did he leave Chicago for? That was my secret. And he left Chicago because the doctors said he had to, so he came here. Oh, naturally, seeing — well, seeing. When Nell went back to her room and looked at the handsome picture on her desk she said : When I said I might hate you, I didn ' t really think I would. But I fear I do. All the girls thought Nell ought to be the happiest girl in college, and they were glad of the choice she had made, because Robert Linden certainly was a splendid man and seemed worthy of her. And to all appearances she was happy. But in reality she was restless and uneasy. The girls firmly believed her engaged to him and they would not have believed her had she insisted it was all a joke and that she really was not en- gaged. And how could it help getting to his ears? What if he did know her so well and think so much of Fred? That would not excuse her and how could she explain anything? He would probably be very angry. If it didn ' t get to him, anyway, as soon as he began to get acquainted with the other girls he w ould most innocently pay atten- tion to them. It would seem queer to them and they would not care about receiving attentions from an engaged man, nor would they expect her to like it, and — Oh, it will be an awful mess anyway it turns out. But somehow or other everything went along smoothly. Robert came to call on Nell often, and did not put himself out to get acquainted with the other girls. When he did get acquainted with them he was polite and courteous, but he contented himself with being on friendly terms with Nell alone, and making infrequent calls on Lucia. It was not strange that after a few weeks he should hear rumors concerning him- self and Nell. Then he wondered if that was why she had acted strangely a few times. One day he joined Lucia crossing the campus. Do the girls annoy Nell about me? I have bee n puzzled by her at times and I wonder if I am worrying her by being with her so much that the girls talk about it. The fellows jolly me some, but that is different. I don ' t mind what they say about me, but I do not want to cause her annoyance. Lucia began to laugh. Then she saw how she could help Nell. That is not exactly what troubles her. I think I shall have to tell you. She is afraid it will get to you that she has said she ' s engaged to you. As a matter of fact she never did say anything of the kind. Then she told him the story of Nell ' s joke on the girls. Happily, Robert was very much amused. 231 Colorado Collar % rar lloofc If attAfyt-Srtortt That ' s pretty clever, but it ' s rather hard on her that I should appear on the scene. But she never let on to me that I was in the way. However, now I understand one or two things Fred said to me before I came. By the way, I should like to see one of the letters she wrote to me and never mailed. Can you get me one? Some time I may get a chance to tease her. A few days later he called on Nell. After talking on indifferent matters, he said suddenly: By the way, I got a letter the other day, a part of which I want to read to you and see what you think of it. ' Your letter cheered my heart ' — ' I ' d rather write to you than do anything else I know ' — ' Our Commencement is not far away after that ' - — ' Yesterday Lu ' — er ' It will be one long love story, dea — ' Robert, stop! That ' s enough! Oh! I knew something like that would happen! Why didn ' t I tear that awful letter to pieces, Nell buried her face in her hands. Nell, Robert said gently and touched her arm. Don ' t touch me, she cried, drawing away. You ' re just sorry for me. Nell, look at me, he said, hardly able to control the laughter that would come into his voice, I have something to say to you. I feel most highly honored in the senti- ments you have expressed for me, but it is impossible for me to return your affection. I can only be a brother to you. That I will be most gladly. But to tell you the truth, and I hope I break it to you gently, I am engaged to the dearest girl in the world, a classmate in the University Thank heavens! exclaimed Nell. Then you won ' t feel compelled to propose to me to save me mortification. As soon as I found out what was troubling you, Nell, I decided to relieve you by telling you about Frances. Your joke is too good to spoil, so you can depend on me to help keep it up, to the end of the chapter. So the joke went on. One day near the end of the year Margaret gave a tea for Nell. You know, dear, I guessed it first and I should like so much to announce it in- formally to the girls, if you will let me. Nell could hardly control herself as she thanked her. So, on that memorable afternoon the girls were enjoying the pretty tea in Nell ' s honor, when Margaret took advantage of a moment ' s silence. Well, girls, in the fall some of us were talking about being engaged, and I said it would be such a joke to see Nell fall a victim because she was the last one we would expect to do it. I a m having this tea this afternoon just for the pleasure of telling you that it isn ' t a joke, but the truth, that she is really engaged to the finest man in the world — she ' ll tell you — to Mr. Robert Linden. When the pretended surprise and the congratulations were over, Nell said, begin- ning very demurely: Do you remember how the girls laughed that afternoon, Margaret? I really am ashamed to tell it, when you have been so lovely to me, but I said to myself then, and I let you give this tea, for the pleasure of telling all the girls now, that I would make that laugh on you yet. So, instead of its being the truth, it is a joke, and has been from the beginning. Robert Linden is one of the best friends I ever expect to have, but he is engaged to a girl in Chicago University, and have not yet fallen a victim. The girls were amazed for a minute, then believing her — the laugh was on Margaret. In a moment the latter recovered herself sufficiently to wail, And not a single Senior engaged! 232 Colo vafto CoKUfit Ittav Jtf c ol; If a ttfll) t-Scfccu •Scene — The Psychology Room.

Humble Apologies to Sparticus to the Gladiators. C. F. HOWELL. It had been a day of triumph at the College. The full-back, with his ten line buckers, had amused the populace with gridiron brutality to an extent hitherto unknown even at that seat of higher learning. The shouts of the students had died away; the roar of the Tiger had ceased; the last rooter had retired from the celebration fire, and the lights in the dormitories were extinguished. The moon, shining from a clear, blue sky, silvered the dew drops on the weather-vane of Namregah Hall, and reflected from Remlap Building. No sound was heard, save the last sob of some retiring wave on Tnemunom Creek, telling its story to the rip-rap along its banks, and then all was as still as the empty chapel. On the high steps of Remlap Building a band of gridiron champions had assembled, their muscles still knotted with the excitement of the scrimmage, the lemon juice upon their lips, the scowl of battle yet lingering on their brows. Old Headguard, starting forth amid the throng, thus addressed them: Ye call me captain, and ye do well to call him captain who, for four long years, hath met upon the gridiron the heroes of all other colleges and universities, and who hath never yet been downed in a tackle. If there be one among you who can say that ever, in public conflict or private practice, my actions did belie my words, let him stand forth and say it. If there be three in all your company dare face me when I hold the pig-skin, let them try it now. And yet, I was not always thus — a hired ' ringer, ' a brutish man of still more brutish men. My ancestors came from old Dravrah, and settled in the shadows of Pike ' s Peak. My early life ran quiet as Tnemunom Creek, and when I played at the sports boys love, there was a friend, the son of a neighbor, to join me in the pastime. We played the same games and enjoyed the same friendships. One evening, after work was done, and we were seated on the veranda of our home, my grandfather, an old man, was telling of Redloub and Nedlog, and how in 1 906 a team of Tigers had defeated all the teams of other colleges. I did not know then what football was, but my limbs trembled, I know not why, and I questioned the old man, until my mother, parting the hair from off my forehead, kissed my throbbing temples and bade me go to rest and think no more of ancient games and cruel men. That very night the advance football legion visited our home. I saw my mother plead for me, but my father said: ' Go, my son. Play as I played. Play for fame! ' ' Today I felled a man upon the gridiron, and when I turned his face to the sky, behold! he was my friend. He knew me, smiled and said: ' Old man, my slats are busted ' — the same smile upon his face that I had noticed when, in days past, we had scaled Pike ' s rugged sides. I told the referee that the fallen man had been my friend, brave and loyal, and begged that I might take the broken body home. Yea, upon my knees I begged that poor boon, while all the assembled faculty and students laughed me to scorn. And the referee drew back and tersely said: ' Let his own men take care of him; there are no noble line-buckers but ye. ' And so, fellow line-smashers, must you, and so must I, buck like broncoes to the end. O College, College, thou hast been a tender 236 Colorado College ¥c«nr llooft llattfltjf-Scfrcu nurse to me. Ay, thou hast trained a gawking lad until his muscles are like iron and his heart like flint, taught him to tackle a man and hurl him to the ground, and to gaze into the bloodshot eyes of an opponent without flinching. But ye shall have your reward and elsewhere. Ye stand here now like champions as ye are. The strength of many conflicts is in your muscles, but next week some Tigente, decked in gay hat-band and flying colors, shall slap you on the back and bet his daddy ' s plunks upon your gains. Hark! hear yon band of rooterites returning from the feast of three oysters and a cracker at Earcam ' s Cafe! ' Tis two hours since they dined at the Hall of Namregah, and tomorrow they will eat again. If ye are ' ringers ' then stand in sneaking silence, waiting for your ten per. If ye are Tigers — play the game. Strike down the referee, gain the unconquered field, and there work as did the graduates of yore! Is the Tiger dead? Is the old Alma Mater spirit frozen in your veins, that ye skulk, and crawl, and moan. O, line- buckers! center-smashers! Tigers! if we must fight, let us fight under the rules of that noted one of yore, Simool. If we play, let us play to win — and let us win as our fathers did of yore, to the honor of our mascot, Pike ' s Peak. HOME. How sweet, When the dark draweth down, To come Up the street from the town ; The stars Up above shining out. The lights Down below roundabout; The steps Of the Night softly wending The paths Where man ' s day-toil is ending; How much Then the earth groweth cosy. And home Smiles a welcome right rosy As, b ack O ' er the Campus I quickly Come, thinking Of joys scattered thickly Along The bright day, for whose turning, I left My electric lignt burning, Which winks At me, blinks at me, Welcome, My Student, — So eve brings the comfort of home. 237 Color asro College ¥c.nv lioofc If .uuafjt-Scfccw LIMERICKS. There was a young Junior named Hersey; That his friends let him live was a mercy. To tell you the truth, He was quite fond of Ruth, And her photograph wore ' neath his jersey. There once was a man named McBride, Who was squelched by fair maids on each side, But he ' d bob up serenely And ask again, greenly, No matter how much he was guyed. There was a young lady named Hope, Who late into class rooms did lope. She would finger her hair Till her friends would despair, And threaten to take deadly dope. There was a young lady named Slaughter, Who absorbed all the Bug that was taught her. She cut up the frogs, The cats and the dogs, And said: It ' s not nice, but I oughter. If you find the professor can catch All the bluffs you can make in a batch, You ' d better beware! If you don ' t take care In exam week those goose eggs will hatch!

He is cap- tain of the track team. But it is very muddy, so he can not train. So he is do- ing the next best thing. Why do they go on opposite sides of the mud puddle? If you don ' t guess it, ask the man. This is a snap. The photo? Oh, no; ease with which the photo was obtained. Tegtmeyer seems to be very busily en- gaged. Yes, he is, and very properly en- gaged, too. Never mind, Teg. Cheer up; the worst is yet to come. For many years I relied on my own judgment in regard to my affairs de coeurs, and flitted like a butterfly from man to man, and still was not satisfied, but having been informed by a lady friend of your marvelous match-making ability, I determined to try my luck. The result surpassed my highest expectations. And now I inhabit a world peopled with sweet dreams of connubial felicity. A. I. Kidder. I am a bachelor, over twenty years of age; height, six feet six inches; fine figure, commanding presence and happy, child- like disposition. At request, will send full length photograph (in sections). Will Stevens. I am a young woman, fair hair, blue eyes. My mission in life is to convince the benighted heathen of the error of their ways and wish a worthy helpmeet to assist in this glorious cause. B. Gordon. Am a young gentleman of an affection- ate and loving disposition ; five feet eight inches of concentrated beauty.

Desire to correspond with c handsome gentleman, Southerner preferred, of sporting tendencies, with considerable means. I. Whitehurst. My trust in women has been rudely shattered and as I am in danger of becom- ing a misogynist, my friends advised me to consult you, before depriving some deserv- ing girl of a handsome and dashing ad- mirer. Any help you can give me in this matter will be highly appreciated, both by myself and by my friends who are tired of hearing me give my views on the girl question. G. H. Scibird. Although a confirmed spinster for many years, I at last desire to correspond with a gentleman of culture and refinement, to gladden my declining years. Am of a domestic disposition and would consider it my chief aim in life to make home an earthly paradise for him whom fate awards my future spouse. M. E. Scott. Knowing well the wide circulation of your paper, I am emboldened to seek in- formation on a question which lies close to my heart. On a recent journey East, owing to a wreck on my train, I was thrown, I may say, precipitated, into the arms of a gentleman, sitting opposite me His kindness on this trying occasion I shall never forget. His name, alas! is unknown to me, but the thought of that tender moment will be one of life ' s most precious remembrances. Anyone who can furnish information concerning this un- known hero, will receive my sincerest grat- itude, as I wish to requite him for his kindness. R. L. Do they not look pleased? Yes, they are pleased. We can not blame them. You say you would like to take the place of one of them? Oh, yes; that would be very nice, but they would not agree. This picture is blurred. No wonder. Can you blame the camera for being daz- zled by such a good-looking couple? Is Reyer the man? Yes, I can tell by his overcoat. The girl? Oh, yes; she ' s a Senior, too. 241 Colot ttto Concur Tear l oofc If ne$ur rl r« These are Juniors, but you would think they were in the Academy if you saw them sometimes. They are both fa- mous artists and do much sketching from nature — human nature. We hope their mammas will not do anything to interfere with their youthful joys. This lady and gentleman spend much time together and often forget to attend classes. But they are always very proper, for, as you see, they keep a chaperone who is eminently fitted to counsel them in all matters pertaining to coping and camp- ustry. Is this a snapshot? No, this is a time exposure. They sat in this same position for thirty-seven minutes. No, they did not know they were getting their picture taken or they would have moved. Ihey do not like to have their picture taken, but their friends enjoy it. So does the Annual Board. 242 Colo tto College ¥c«ir Hoof; lfaUQfyt- tbtU P -«.
