He sings of deeds of long ago, Three cycles i'n all have fied Since many things happened, strange to tell But the eons have happily sped. Old Cornell's trees were yellow, and bright VVith the sunlight sifting through, The chapel lifted it's tall grey tower When the yellow and grey were new. And the loyal band that feasted twice, At Bowman Hall and again, VVas famous because of its maidens nice, And its strong and rugged men. Many a sacrifice laid they down For the sake of their glorious classg One, of his raven locks was shorn Where the waters How, alas! YVhen two cycles more had passed, And a temple was to be raised To the God of Strength and Beauty of Form, The people were all amazed. For the noble band of the grey and corn Came valiently to the fore, And brought forth a scheme, the coffers to Hll, As they called for more and more. A celebration great was planned, The wonders of the County Fair were sung As the people flocked from far and near To wander the shows among. And all united in songs of praise, Landing the gallant band VVho had carried through to the gallant end And affair so brilliantly planned. Now another cycle has gone The band is hoary with ageg But once they paused on the upward way' To return to childhood's page. The fourth cycle is flying fast And when its race is run, None will be left of the glorious class, No, not a single one. But their spirits still will haunt the hill, VVhere the winter breezes play, And their yellow and grey shall forever be The theme of the minstrel's lay.

PERSONS l'm ashamed-thatls a fact-'tis a piti- ful case, Won't some kind classmate write this in my place? just remember how often these things have been said,- Ancl please do not feel that these lines must be read. There are stories, once pleasing, too often times told, And banquets have been held since the ages of oldg There are voices we've heard 'till we know them right well- They've sounded in chapel so oft at Cor- nell. Yet Juniors,- proud members of the class nineteen ten Let's call up our past stunts just once againg VVay back in naught-six at Stanwood one night, VVe feasted and revelled with all our fresh might. Then later at chapel we tarried one day And heard Prexie talk in his inimitable way, YVe feared the demerits and wrote letters home, But, lo, we were favored,-the gods saved their own. The next year as Sophomores we kept the old tradition, And helped the Freshies cure their un- sophistication, We flung our colors broad and high in the Senior pilgrimage But to account for all our deeds would fill another page. And now we're known as Juniors, the class that's doing things We're on our way to knowledge and the wealth that knowledge brings And when we think of all thatls gone, and all that lies before We wonder how they ever praised the classes here of yore. Our men will be the bravest, our ladies ever fair, Our gallant shield of red and blue we know they'll ever wear- So fill your glasses all around and fill them yet again And drink this health right heartily- The Class of Nineteen Ten.

Hear ye all, Oh hear ye, O mortals who e'er thou art, Of a class both brave and loyal, Dear to every Cornell heart. Knights, dragons, and fair women Castles, wars, and steeds of fire Are themes for poets of bygone days, VVhich satisfied their hearts' desire. Ancient Greek or Roman,-none More noble a theme was given, Than the one inspired by my muse,- The Illustrious Class of 'Leven. Time is fleeting and text-books forgotten And wisdom alone from mere book-lore But the deeds and attainments of 1911 Will in memory last forevermore. When appeared this famous clan VVith its banner of 1911? Its Rack-Chiek-Boom for the first was heard In the fall of 1907. How the faculty took notice, How the Sophs were put to shame, How the Seniors bowed in homage When they first to Chapel came. Boys were kingly, girls were queenly Proud and dignified and wise, Boys were sturdy, maidens winsome, In short, Cornell's most costly prize. How thev all did strive to serve them,- Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, all, Fed them fudge and plenty of taffy, Took them to the Society Hall. Soon the Freshmen had a banquet, Better far than a royal feast, Prepared for them at Cedar Rapids Gorgeous, magnificent to say the least. And next morning at the Chapel Freshmen sober as could be, For they were told to Solve the problem, Then report to our james E. This time forth throughout the school year Freshman sad constrained their gleeg Each poor child received demerits, Presented by the Faculty. Vacation came, and all went home, Indeed, disbanded for a while, Health to gain, and wealth to find And the summer days beguile. Once again the class bells rang, Once more a noisy throng Were hurrying, skurrying to and fro The campus paths along. Foremost midst this motley crowd, Inside the college doors, Was the dignified, sagacious class, Cornell's true Sophomores. Hovey's once, now 'Kenzie's clan Still full of life and fun, VVho went to Mickeyville one night Having asked permission. Shout loud and long, then, people For the Old Gold and the White, For the loyal band they represent, For their deeds in history bright.

Great numbers of alumni were pres- ent, drawn thither to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the graduation of the first class, and to participate in their own class reunions. Every- where, in society halls and corridors, in shady walks and out under the trees, the alumni gathered, until the undergraduates, thrilled at the sight of their happy faces, felt strangely out of place. The campus with its matehless combination of sunshine and shade, of tree covered slopes and velvety greensward, was a fit back- ground for the impressive ceremonies of the season. The exercises of the week, too, were admirable and closed the activ- ities of the year in very distinguished fashion. Saturday and lVIonday even- ings presented the always popular re- citals of the Schools of Oratory and Mmlsic. The latter evening also pro- vided the Amphictyon Literary So- ciety an opportunity to hold its Quadrennial Banquet at the Altoona. On the afternoon of lVIonday oc- cured the impressive and picturesque Senior pilgrimage in which some three hundred students of all four collegiate classes participated. The Seniors appeared in the traditional cap and gown, the Juniors in grey 5 The First Class Sixty-nine ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN mortar-boards, the Sophomores carrying red and blue umbrellas, and the Fresh- men adorned with appropriate fools- caps with yellow tassels. Speeches were made at College Hall, South Hall, the Speer Fountain, Old Sem., The Bower, Dr. King's residence, and at the site of the new Alumni Gymnasium in Ash Park. As a close to the afternoon, the Faculty nine administered the familiar drubbing to the Senior baseball team. The College Lecture, delivered by Dr. Geo. Elliott, ,72, of Chicago, on Tuesday evening was an address of rare quality, eloquently delivered and en- thusiastically received. The Historical celebration of Wednesday gave oppor- tunity to hear several of Cornell's tal- ented alumni, the evening address be- ing delivered by Rev. Lucius D. Clark ,93, of Iowa City, with the Passion Play as its subject. Thursday however, was the crown- ing day of all. The traditional custom of holding the commencement exercises Miss Cook out of doors, never seemed wiser than upon this occasion when a natural ampitheatre, beautifully shaded, was utilized. The thirteen orations of the graduation class once completed, and the degrees conferred, Dr. E. T. Devine, of New York, was introduced as the Commencement orator. He spoke briefly but suggestively from the theme Walking to and fro in the Earth. Then the most impressive in- cident of the day, the inauguration of the new president, took place. In a few words, spoken in that felicitous yet dignified manner which has always characterized him, Dr. King, the venerable and honored executive, took his leave of the ofiice he had so ably filled for forty-five years. W. F. Johnston, chairman of the Board of Trustees, presented the keys of the college to its new head, Dr. James E. Harlan. The latter, who has been for many years Sevenly CORNEL-L OF IOWA the eflicient vice-president of the institution, responded briefly but with great impressiveness, calling on townspeople, alumni, faculty and students to sup- port the new administration as they had the old. Then the benediction was pronounced and all was over. lmlilliam Ilileirhrr liiug mg lllrufrunnr ilimulinr iii. Zlirrrr The best sermons are not found in books nor heard in words, but in the lives of noble men. The beacon lights of history are the really great men whose character and achievements are waymarks in human progress. When VVilliam F. King resigned the presi- dency of Cornell College, the message of a life devoted to education and re- ligion was grandly completed. Many have been influenced and inspired by the message, and many more will heed its lessons as they learn of the wisdom, the consecration, and the eiliciency of one who labored so long and so suc- cessfully for the upbuilding of Cornell College. This good man was educated in the methods of fifty years ago, and that his training was a valuable one is evident by the fact that the same training gave to the educational world Presidents Angell and Elliott, men who perhaps had a larger task, but not a more diH'i- cult one than President King. He came to work in a new state, and to labor D'-Devine on a campus in whose open spaces was the prairie sod dotted with wild flowers, and in whose groves were thickets of sumac and hazel, of wild plum and crab-apple. Unsubdued Nature, the poverty of the pioneer, and a multiplicity of schools in a field too small for their support were indeed un- Sevenly-one ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN favorable conditions when Doctor King came to Cornell College in 1862 as Professor of Ancient Languages. In 1863 he was made acting President, so that for forty-five of his forty-six years of service, he was the responsible head of the school. Seventy-two CORNELL OFIOPVA By a comparison of what the school was in 1863 and what it was in 1908, something may be learned of the growth of the college and of the work of President King. The catalog of the former year shows a total enrollment of only 266, forty names appearing in the list of College students while 53 were in the primary department, leaving 173 preparatory students. The faculty consisited of the president, two professors, two lady teachers, one music teacher, and two teachers in the primary department which was maintained for the benefit of the small cl1ild1'en living in MOllllt Vernon. In 1908 Cornell's student enrollment was as follows: Graduate students 6, College 402, Academy and special 347. Total 755. The faculty in 1908 numbered 39, of whom 22 were regular professors. In 1863 there were two buildings, in 1908 there were seven. In the former year the campus was fifteen acres ,in extentg in the latter, four times as many. In 1863 the as- sets of the College, outside of buildings and grounds, were less than S50,000. In 1908 they were over S500,000. In 1863 there was a total in the Alumni of 211 in 1908 the quinquennial listed 1244 graduates in the regular courses. Of all these g1'aduates, over 1200 have their diplomas signed by President King. His name is also signed to many diplomas issued by the schools of music. art and oratory. In 1862 there was but one in the graduating class! in 1908 there were 59. Doctor King has been the largest single donor to the College. Besides the endowment of :1 professorship in memory of his daughter, and of one hundred scholarships in memory of his wife, he has made other donations for special objects. His gifts of statuary in bronze and marble placed in the library, will continually present to students the noblest conceptions of the great masters in sculpture. But his Work is not to be measured by the growth of the College alone, as President King has been no small factor in the religious, educational and civic affairs of the nation. As a member of the Upper Iowa Conference of tht lVIethodist Episcopal Church, as an attendant at the Iowa State Teachers Association and as president of that body, as a member of the National Educational Association and having a place with the eminent educators constituting the Council of that organization, and finally as one of Iowa's Commissioners at the VVorld's Columbian Exposition, his life, devoted to the promotion of human welfare, exercised a large in- fluence on men and affairs. When we consider the manifold labors he as- sumed, and the many things which he brought to pass we are constrained to say that he did a great work and that he did it well. Sevenly-lliree ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN On the evening of the day following President King's resignation, the Faculty called upon him in a body to express their appreciation of his ser- vices, and to pay the tribute due one with whom they had been long asso- ciated. Some of them had labored with him for over thirty-five years, and many for ten or more. Those who spoke on behalf of the Faculty could but poorly express the sentiments in the hearts of all. Sentiments of vene- ration, love, admiration and the regret that the relationship of years gone by must cease. The President's reply, though sometimes broken in utterance, was eloquent and forceful, expressing thoughtfulness to the teachers for their cooperation and helpfulness in the past and counselling the same help- fulness and devotion in the future. None who were present at that formal farewell will forget the impressiveness of the occasion nor the bcnediction of one who had a longer service to his credit than any of his contemporaries in a College or University presidency. Fortunately for Cornell, William Fletcher King is still connected with it not only as President Emeritus, but also as a member of the Board of Trustees, and the school will continue to have the benefit of his fatherly interest and prudent suggestion. Wliether he is about the College, or whether he is a traveller in our own or foreign lands, the solicitude of thousands of his friends will follow him, and their prayers will ascend for the preservation of his health and the prolongation of his life. lllreaihrnt Zlanwn Ellintt Harlan Mg lllrnfmmnr llllillium S. Elrvrnnlv One could hardly ask for a better subject. Its very excellence is a handicap. No laudation is needed, however, to increase the love and re- spect for him of those who know the man, and such are the majority of the Annual readers. On the other hand, if the writer's pen prove stiff or his wits dull it will be to his own discredit mainly, for the reader can usually supply from his own knowledge what of appreciation the sketch may lack, and this he may do at times with some impatience. The biography is significant. Ohio boasts with right that she has furnished the country with many eminent men. It was the native state of President James E. Harlan. At the age of six he was enrolled among the infants in the primary room of the public school. At the early age of ten he was grappling with problems in algebra, and therein began a vital life experience. Then, and for some years thereafter, algebra was his taskmaster Sevenly-four CORNELL OF IOWA to reveal and enlarge the powers that were in him. It challenged his best effort and the challenge was accepted. His victories were due less to bril- liancy and genius than to persistent and determined effort. This experience of mental Wrestling and victory-so vital in the youth of the successful scholar and real man, the lack of which can account for many life failures- largely fixed for him his doctrine and character of life, and, in later years, his educational theory and policy. When James was eleven, the Harlan family joined the caravan of prairie schooners to the west and settled in Iowa. The farm in summer and school in winter was the program of our james who showed particular dil- igence in his studies. At the outbreak of the Civil War the spirit of patriot- ism prompted him to offer his services to his country, but his father took advantage of the boy's devotion to study and turned him in the direction of college. Once, it was arranged that he should go to Central College at Pella, again to the University of Iowa, but a fortunate opportunity to earn the cost of his room and board, olliered by friends of the family living in Mount Vernon, brought him to Cornell,College. A In college he manifested the same qualities of patient determination in earning his way and in mastering his studies which had won the victory in algebra. But the war dragged on and with it the appeal for more men. When the recruiting ofhcer reached Cornell, the name of James E. Harlan Sevenly-five ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN was among the first to go down upon the muster roll. Then followed the months of service in the south, the end of the war, the mustering out, and the return to college. Graduation was thus delayed until 1869. In that year hc accepted a call to the superintendeney of Schools in Cedar Rapids where he remained for three years. He left Cedar Rapids to take a similar position at Sterling, Illinois, the girlhood home of the good wife who still shares his honored career. In 1873 the alumni chair of Matheinatics was created in the college, and James E. Harlan was called to fill it. After eight years of efficiency here, he was elevated to the vice-presidency of the institution. In this office he gradually assumed all the duties of local ad- ministration and financial management, which finally took him out of the class room entirely. The step to the presidency was a most natural one. It was most nat- ural, too, that the retiring president, after a service of forty-live years, dur- ing more than half of which he had learned to lean more and more upon the counsels and sterling qualities of his understudy, should urge that no other than he should be selected to succeed to the presidency. This done, there was secured to the institution an uninterrupted continuance of that safe and steadily progressive policy which has been the peculiar good fortune of the college from the beginning. The benefits of President King's long administration could not have been better preserved to the institution. Further- more, the history of the present year in the life and growth of the college is continually contributing its testimony to the Worth of the new president, whose enobling qualities have impressed themselves for good upon the thou- sands of students who have registered in the institution in the past thirty- Hve years, and who regard Cornell as their college home. The president is a man of deeds more than of words and is not publishing abroad great plans for the future. No man knows the institution more thoroughly than he, and none could render her a more devoted service. He is in the midst of an enviable career, upon which may be observed the frequent stamp of his early experience with algebra. A man's record is his best testimonial. It has shown President Harlan a man of intellectual strength, of calm and steady temperament, of great administrative ability, independent in judgment, wise in counsel, of profound moral and religious convictions and of exemplary life,-a man of deep sin- cerity and earnestness of purpose, tenderly sympathetic, yet firm, convincing in manner, reassuring in countenance, and of fine presence. Seventy-six Cggmnaninm ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN Elie Alumni Cbgntnaaimu ihlg Qlaptuin 15. Ill. Super For the past ten years, and more, the students of Cornell College have been clamoring for a gymnasium, in order that they might receive that train- ing in physical culture and athletics, that was enjoyed by students in com- petitive institutions. The matter had been frequently before the trustees, and all agreed upon the need, but thought that the burdensome debt, growing at the rate of more than 510,000.00 per year, absolutely forbade, for the time being, the initiation of any new enter- prise. The heroic campaign, led by the president, Dr. King, during the years 1906 and 1907, culminated in eliminat- ing the college debt of more than 5125,- 000.00. .The campaign for the debt, however, did not end until Saturday night after Commencement, in June, 1907. During Commencement Day, the writer solicited a subscription for the debt from a well-to-do alumnus, who had been, while in school, some- what interested in athletics, who, when refusing, stated, that what the col- lege most needed was a gymnasium, and that he was saving his money to give toward that enterprise. He added that he would be one of twenty- five to give a thousand dollars each therefor. That conversation set the writer thinking about an alumni gymnasium, to be built by the alumni, for the college, and when the debt was cleared away, it occurred to him that the time was ripe for the inauguration of the movement. After consultation, by letter, with prominent alumni, and, personally, with the local alumni, in July, 1907, without consulting the college author- ities, an appeal to the alumni for funds to build for Cornell an alumni gym- nasium. was sent to all graduates of the college. The early responses were indeed encouraging. A prominent New Yorker sent in a subscription for SI,Q00.00. A lady from California, the widow of the first Adelphian Sevcnly- eighl I w 1 J I P 1 J ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN alumnus, sent a draft for 5500.00. Other consid- erable sums were promptly subscribed, and the en- ' terprise looked promising. However, after the first five or six thousand dollars had been subscribed, interest in the project slackened and seemed to wane. All of the alumni wanted the college to have a gymnasium, but too many of them thought that their classmates or some earlier graduate could bet- ter afford to donate the money therefor than could they. The writeris thoughts then turned toward the student body, and, after consideration, it was believed, knowing their great interest in and desire for the gymnasium, that they could be depended upon to raise at least 55,000.00. The writer ac- cordingly wrote to a discreet party, identified with the college and interested in the movement, to or- ganize a students' campaign, by selecting and prompting proper leaders and supervising, in an advisory capacity, the canvass. The result was, that voluntary subscriptions were given by members of the student body aggregating nearly 59,000.00. Greatly encouraged, ap- peals were again sent out, and at least one personal letter-arguing, urging, and entreating,-was written to each alumnus. Commencement week ar- rived, and less than 520,000.00 had been actually subscribed, but we were getting in line a number of prospective subscribers who eventually rescued the enterprise. The matter of building a gymnasium, the steps taken, and the results achieved, was presented by the writer to the Board of Trustees at their annual session during Commencement week of 19085 and, after much consideration, the Board decided that if interested parties succeeded in raising by the Saturday night following Commencement Day, 525,000.00 in cash and good subscriptions, the President of the Board of Trustees was authorized to subscribe, in behalf of the college, the remaining 515,000.00 necessary to complete the 540,000.00 proposition on which all subscriptions had been taken, and empowered the Executive Committee to take over the subscriptions so made, and to take measures to raise the 515,000.00 to be subscribed by the college, and to proceed to build the gymnasium. Acting under that authorization, the Executive Committee selected Eighly CORNELL OF IOIVA and appointed a building committee, and instructed them to secure the necessary plans, let the contract and proceed with the construction, fixing the date of completion as early as may be. Difficulties were encountered in letting the contract. The architect, an alumnus of the col- lege, and, of course, interested in having the best possible gymnasium, attempted to get a 550,000.00 building for the 540,000.00 appropriated. This, the building committee was unable to dog but, by leaving a portion of the building unfinished, and securing from the trustees permission to add an additional 355,000.00 to the cost of the building, the difficulties were adjusted, the contract let, and construction begun near the end of the summer of 1908. The building will be completed before 3 Commencement Week, 1909. The main room in the gymnasium will afford capacity for seating between seven and eight hundred comfortably at tables, and it is in the air that the alumni dinner during Commencement in 1909 will be in the nature of a celebration, and that, in addition to the alumni and usual guests-the trustees, visitors and faculty-there will also be invited every student contributor toward the building fund. Alumni Day during Commencement Week in 1909, will be a proud day for Cornell. Uhr Stnhrnt Cegmnazium Glnmmittre George Ma1'tin, '08, Chairman Charles R.

FINGER Director of Athletics ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN 922151111 nf IEIIIH Dig Ehgur 'BL illllnnnv Cornell's football season of 1908 was in more than one way the most successful athletic season of recent years. Game after game was won by scores unprecedented in our athletic his- tory. Every game was clean, hard and sports- manlike throughout, we leaped from a second or third rate position to that of reasonable claim- ants for the state championshipg and under the new athletic fee system much larger crowds saw the games, and the season closed with money in the treasury, instead of the usual deficit. lVIuch credit for this is due Coach Finger, and also Coach Allen. Both men worked untiringly for - - the success of the teams, and proved their worth by their record. The season opened with two overwhelming victories, Des lWoines going down under an avalanche of scores on October 2, 65 to O being the final result. Then a week later St. Joseph, of Dubuque, was caught in a similar whirlwind and contributed 38 points without taking any away for them- selves. On October I7 came Ames. Because they are trying so hard to forget the results of that day we will not review what happened during the long, hot sixty minutes of that afternoon. A fumble on first down on Ames' 3- yard line prevented Cornell making the score twice as decisive, but the 6 to O result was the bitterest story the Aggies have taken home with them in many days. Simpson College really had a strong team this year, as the fact that no other team on a heavy schedule defeated them, and only one scored on them will prove. Cornell looked sluggish after their two weeks' rest from Ames and their play seemed to lack ginger. The final score of 34 to O was per- haps Il0t as large as it should have been, and surely not as large as the team could have scored under the pressure at which they sometimes played. With all their slump worked out in the week following, the team trotted out on the Monmoutli field in fine fettle and gave one of the prettiest Eighty-six CORNELL OF IOWA exhibitions of football the Monmouth people had ever seen. An unlucky slip on the very last down allowed a punt to be blocked and a lVIonmouth man fell on the ball back of the line for the first score of the season against us. Forty- two points was a mighty satisfactory showing, but the team would have gladly taken less to have had those six points erased from the other side of the sheet. Coe was, of course, a joke. Everybody knew it before the game was played, yet the Prcsbytcrians are always on their mettle when they meet us, and the prophecies of the Cedar Rapids papers were such as to tend to make us nervous. The game was scarcely begun, however, before the only question was, How big will the score be P Had the day been right for football, or the grounds been dry, it is hard to guess what might have happened, but it is certain that the 53 to 0 would have been largely increased. The one-point defeat which we met at Grinnell on November 21 was the one blot on this most successful season, but its effect was sufficient to cast a shadow over the whole. Despite the fact that unprejudiced spectators and even Grinnell supporters admitted freely that we had far the better team, the score must be taken as the determining factor, and the Hukes by which scores are obtained cannot be considered. Before that game we were recognized even in the enemy's camp as logical claimants for the state championship. After it we were dropped into oblivion. In looking over the season and the results from various standpoints, it is interesting to note the effect on the different schools of the state which our Eighty-.seven I ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN success brought about. Chiefly was this noticeable among the self-appointed Big Four. For several years they have managed to influence the state papers to a sufficient degree to keep Cornell from receiving any share of rec- ognition in athletic lines. When the defeat of Ames and the overwhelming scores of our other victories forced the sporting editors to notice us, the jeal- ousy of these larger schools was glaringly apparent. Grinnell's victory over us in the last game was taken as a joint victory, and each of these institutions celebrated as if it had been their own. Except when startled out of their reserve for a few days after the defeat of Ames, the state papers, and particu- larly the Des Moines papers, refused to give us even the semblance of justice in their estimates of our standing. The very fact that we won by such over- whelming scores in most of our games was used to prove that our schedule was in reality very light. Possibly if the games had been closer we would have received more credit, yet it is not probable. Our record of 1908 will assure us a more satisfactory schedule this year, however, and you may rest assured that Coach Finger will give the dopestcrs reason to watch the little college on the hill all through the season this fall. Q r I f- , s r ., i. .1 Eighty-eighl CORNELL OF IOIVA Uhr Eflirrahnruzn Swann A review of Cornell's football season of 1908 would not be complete without some notice of the Freshmen, the bunch who took the hard knocks from the regulars all through the season and got but little credit from any except their coaches. Under the direct guidance of Coach Allen they devoted a large part of their time to the development of the styles of play the Varsity would have to meet in their games, and it must be admitted that much of the latter's success was directly due to the constant practice against the uncom- plaining Freshmen. , Only three regular games were played by the Freshmen team during the season. First came a game with the Mt. Vernon High School, which was won rather easily, despite the stubborn resistance of the lighter high schoolers, by a score of 18 to 0. Then on the vacant Saturday following the Ames game Allen pitted his bunch against a team of Varsity Reserves, and again the youngsters were successful, wading through the mud for a score of I7 to 0. The hardest game of their season came last on the day after the Varsity defeated Simpson. Lisbon High School were the opponents and proved worthy adversaries, though defeated by a score of 34 to O. The offensive and defensive work of the entire Freshman team that day was deserving of special praise, spectacular work being the rule rather than the exception. Disappointed in the length of their schedule by the inability to secure other games for them, the Freshmen stayed gamely out all the rest of the season, helping the Varsity to keep up the necessary standard. It is that kind of spirit that makes athletes who are worth while, and more than one of the men who were ineligible last fall will find that his loyalty to Cornell was worth while as he steps in Varsity ranks this year. Eigbly-nine MILO H. NEIDIG Captain CORNELL OFIOWA Elhe men mlm Niagra mg 5. Nl. ilfinger A large part of the work of the football coach during the season is to watch each man individually, picking out his faults and weaknesses and try- ing to overcome or at least remedy them. At the same time he must figure out their good points and strength and find out where and how this strength can be used to the highest advantage. Of this latter the player hears very little during the season, but is constantly reminded more or less caustically of his mistakes and shortcomings. These gentle reminders are more effective and to the point when given orally and spontaneously on the field than they would be were they tabulated and presented to each man periodically. It may not be out of order to say something commendatory about the work of the individual players during the last season. No two men are exactly alike in ability or temperament, neither are two football players exactly alike. Some have wonderful natural ability and talent, and though it is to their credit to do good work, a great deal more credit is due to the fellow of only mediocre ability who, by conscientious work, perseverance and stick-to- it-iveness does even more for the team than the man who stars. I might say to begin with that I have never been connected with a team where there was better spirit displayed all around. Each player had confidence in the team as well as in himself. Each player was ready and eager to sacrifice for team work. Nobody played to the grandstandf' Every man tried to do his work well as a part of a perfect machine. It is this spirit that counts in athletics and makes for winning teams. Not only in football but in baseball and track we must have this spirit before we can hope to put out winning teams. Unless a man is willing to forget himself and sacrifice his own inter- ests for those of the team, he has no right on that team. Taking up the work of the men individually, I will first consider the six men who have played their last game of football for Cornell. These men will be greatly missed, leaving large holes to fill, but their work should be a spur to those who must fill their places next year. Captain Milo Neidig was the heaviest man on the team. His experience at tackle stood him in good stead. Outside interests and his duties as cap- tain weighed somewhat heavily upon him, and for this reason, in some of the games, his work was not up to the usual standard. In the Ames game he completely outplayed Law, the Ames captain, who has been given the position Ninely- one Lineup against Ames CORNELL OFIOPVA in the all-state team. Milo was strong carrying the ball, and was a tower of strength on defense, lending confidence to the rest of the team. Joe Beadle, at end, was unfortunate in being injured during the greater part of the season. In the most important games of the year he played won- derful ball, playing the mighty Reppert off his feet. Had he been in good physical condition this would surely have been a banner year for him. Ter- rific as a smashing end, sure as a tackler, quick at diagnosing a play, Joe was at his best as a defensive player. His indomitable spirit gave the team lots of pep. Quality Cole made his position at center the hardest to fill next year. Accurate and steady in passing the ball, he was a good offensive player. Play- ing at open center he was the keystone of the defense. He tackled all over the field and his tackling was of the deadly sure kind. Though not a fast man especially, he was down the field first under punts, and wasted no time in getting where he was needed. Never out of condition, he was always reliable. Merle West was one of the smallest men on the team, but both in offense and defense he was a big man. Whether carrying the ball, pulling the other fellow, or bowling over a man, lllerle was in every play. There was no greater fighter on the team. Always on deck, never complaining, never mis- sing a practice, Merle was an example of real football spirit. Richardson, after having been injured in every season up to this, went through every game without serious injury. Strong physically and a hard runner, he was good for off-tackle plunges. As a defensive player he was at his best. Absolutely fearless, he was great at stopping the opponent's plays. Rich was a good kicker. Whether in practice or a game, Rich played hard. Dean Peisen is another half-back who graduates this year. Carrying the ball he follows his interference closely and was good at picking openings. He was a tireless worker at football as in everything he takes up. Dean was a good punter, too. 'The loss of these three half-backs leaves another big problem to be solved next year. Aleck Smith, captain for 1909, played both half-back and end. This was his second year on the Varsity and his improvement over last year was marked. Playing two positions, both new to him, he did both justice. He is an ideal end, tall and rangy, fast down the field under punts, a strong runner with the ball and an accurate man passing and receiving the ball. He is a N incly-lhrcc THE SQUAD CORNELL OFIOWA good leader, and next year should be a great year for him, both as an indi- vidual player and as captain of the team. Dobson has the weight, speed and experience for a great football player. This year he had the misfortune of being out of all but the last two games with a fractured collar bone. When he returned he lacked strength to play up to his standard. Next year he promises to be one of the greatest players in the state. Lane, also heavy and fast, has shown a marked improvement over last year. He is a most willing worker. A tendency to play high and cover too much ground are faults that will be eliminated in another year. Of last year's team, Lott and Pix Smith were both in school but were kept out of the game by injury and sickness. They would have been a great help to the team had they been available. Lott graduates this year, but Smith will be a contender for either center, tackle, or guard next year. Burt Minish played a good game at full-back this year. A great line- plunger and a great interferer, with a little more speed, next year he will make an ideal full-back. Playing end on defense he is a marvel at breaking up interference and tackling as well as running down under punts. He is a good place and goal kicker. The rest of the team were new men this year. Lounsbury played guard some years ago and filled that position very well again. Lighter than the usual guard, he made up this deficiency by his aggressiveness. Next year should find him a heavier and more valuable man. Coppess last year showed great promise by his kicking on the Freshman team. ' This year he kicked well during the entire season, with the exception of one or two games, and in these the fault was not his alone. His kicks are long and high, allowing the ends plenty of time to get down the field under them. Playing end, his great height and cleverness in receiving a for- ward pass were marked. He is a strong runner and a good man passing the ball. A little more work in running interference and helping the man with the ball will make Coppess one of the greatest players Cornell has ever seen. He is a hard worker, out for work early and regularly. He would strengthen any team. Ray Neidig played a wonder'ful defensive game. In the Ames game the attack was directed at him and he bore the brunt wonderfully. He has a great knack of using his hands and arms on defense. He follows the ball closely and is always on hand. He carries the ball well from position. Weigh- Ninely-five CORNELL C CLUB CORNELL OF IOWA ing only 156 pounds, he outplayed every opponent until his shoulder was hurt. He will be a great player next year, no matter what position he is asked to fill. Polly Truitt, though very light, showed well at quarter-back. He proved himself a good general and had the confidence of the team. He runs the team fast and with good judgment. He is a good man to run back punts, he and Coppess losing none until the last game. He is fairly sure at drop- kicking goals from the thirty yard line. Another year will put him second to none in the state. Harry De Lamatre proved himself a good reliable half-back both offen- sively and defensively. He picks his openings well and follows his interfer- ence closely. VVith added speed and experience he should be a strong back next season. The rest of the squad worked just as hard and great honor is due them for their work. Most of them will be more experienced and heavier next year to fill the vacant places. Bickenbach at quarter showed up well until he was injured. He is a brilliant runner and a fine kicker. Irwin West showed well at full-back and should be a help to the team when he overcomes a ten- dency to nervousness. Marker, Swank, Pearse, Coleman, Wilcox, Williams, Farmer, Billingsley, Wieland, Knapp and Elmo Lott all played hard, con- sistent football, lack of weight and experience keeping them off the regular team. In another year they should be strong contenders for positions on the Varsity. With Kramm and Phillips, heavy, fast men who will be in next fall, and with the strong Freshman team to draw from, the outlook for IQOQ is very encouraging.

We had an average team with no special stars and won just half of our games. Bob Courson, who was a member of Cornell's championship team of two years before, was captain of the aggregation and worked hard to put the proper finish on the team, but was himself handicapped in his playing during the whole season by a bad foot. The most noticeable thing about the team was its tendency toward erratic playing. Some days they would take a brace and play big league ball and again would put up the poorest kind of an exhibition. The supporters never knew what to expect. Another noticeable feature of the season Wm the teamis lack of ability to play in a pinch. This was well illustrated in the Ames game when they played errorless ball for nine innings with no score on either side, then Cornell sadly went to pieces and Ames scored five runs. But when everything is considered the season ww as successful as could have been expected from the material at hand. In looking over the results of the games there is cause for rejoicing in the fact revealed that we took two games from Grin- nell in very decided style and also the only game played against Drake Uni- versity. The semon started early in April when Cornell took three straight practice games from the Clinton Three I League team by the following scores: 7-IQ 9-83 7-6. The next game was with Missouri State University. This was a genuine slugging match with Cornell decidedly in the lead, but the Hnal score showed ten runs apiece. Then we bumped Grinnell 7 to 2, but lost to Ames 5 to 0. After the Ames game the team showed a decided slump in form and in only two of the remaining games did they show any real form, the first of theseuagainst Grinnell was won 5 to 2, and the sec- ond against Drake, 9 to O.

But it did show that track athletics in Cornell arc soon to be pulled out of the deep hole in which they have been for some time, and raised to their rightful place in the athletics of the state. It showed what a good coach can accomplish with very adverse conditions.

Cor- nell lost the meet by the narrow margin of ten points, the final result being Normal 73, Cornell 63. A week of the worst kind of rainy spring weather followed, during which time the team was able to get out for work but once. At the end of the week, however, Coach Finger took just nine men, all of the team that were in condition, to the invitation meet at Cedar Falls, where they really made a remarkable showing considering that their few numbers had to com- pete with Normal's full team on their own grounds, and a team of over One hundred nine TQOYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN twenty men from Coe. At the end of the meet, the total of points was Normal 51, Coe 51, Cornell 42. The dual meet between Coe and Cornell at lVIarion on June 6th, was the worst farce of a meet in the history of Cornell. A week-of rain had put the dirt track in fierce condition, and the rain continued to fall during the entire meet. In the 220 yard hurdle race, Kramm and Jones, with seemingly an easy victory at hand, both fell Hat in the mud. The 440 yard dash was run in a rain so heavy that the runners could not be seen a hundred yards up the stretch. The vaulting pole stood straight in the mud after the vaulter had left it. Water and mud, in the two mile, splashed higher than the runners' heads. Special mention must be made of the defeat of the mighty Wilcox hy lVIerwin in the half mile, the way Simpson ran off with the two mile, and the winning of both the shot and discus by Kramm. When the shower was over we read the following result on the oflicial score-card: Coe, 80, Cornell, 56. One hundred len Efvnnia 9. if M . x GAYLORD C. ROREM Captain CORNELL OF IOPVA Ihr Flennin Swann The Tennis season of ,OS was marked by a general decline of interest in tennis among the colleges and universities of Iowa, and in some cases all attempts to schedule matches were useless. The inclement weather and the poor condition of our courts added to this discouragement, and under such conditions a continuous round of victory was not to be expected. Gaylord C. Rorem, as captain and manager of the teams, deserves special mention for his unfailing persistency in attempts to bring the greatest success to Cornell. In the State Championship Tournament, held on the Coe courts, Rorem won his way to the finals by defeating Ames in the sec- ond round, and then in a match in which the result was in doubt until five sets had been played, Rorem was defeated by Larson, of Luther College, by the extraordinarily close score of 4-65 6-45 7-53 4-63 3-6. Rorem won the singles at the Lake Geneva Student Conference, was a finalist for the singles championship of Central Iowa, and has won distinction in several tourna- ments. The first doubles team, represented by G. M. Martixi and G. C. Rorem, was not defeated until the State Tournament, when they lost to Ames after having previously defeated them in straight sets, and having defeated Coe twice. G.

Or perhaps thclname recalls more than the picture of this house. Per- haps, even now, as you sit out under the trees on the campus reading this page-having of course first finished all the jokes and the short stories- your ears are assailed by sounds that come from the open windows of this same house, the wailing of a violin mingling with the swelling notes of sev- eral aspiring songsters, against the background of a small battery of pianos, no two of which are playing the same thing nor in the same key. There may be also a reinforcement of tone from some passing small boy who grins broadly as he wboops in imitation of the vocalists inside. There is nothing especially beautiful about the house, and I fear I should not he able to convince you that the sounds are, either as a whole or individually, beautiful, but the thing for which this pandemonium stands and which it in :1 way represents, is something worth your thinking about, and so I ask you again, Wliat does the Conservatory of lWusic Mean to Cornell College? Not that I really ask you to answer this question for intend to answer it myself, and this by asking you another question, which also I intend to answer myself. What would the elimination of the Conservatory of lVIusic mean to Cornell College? Of course we should have no Nlay Festival. There would be no one to plan for and direct it, on the musical side, and financial support, though important, could not make a lVIusic Festival. There would he no looking forward to the middle of lVIay with antici- pation of the delight of those two or three days, when the little town which makes itself lovely to welcome the yearly crowd of enthusiastic guests and interesting looking professional people, when strange tongues and odours remind you of the big world outside, and make you look with increasing fond- ness upon tbe shaded greenness of this fine old campus. There would be no watching of the orchestra men unloading their instruments, no hearing of their mad tuning before a concert, and, finally, no listening with swelling One hundred lwenly-nine MUSIC SENIORS NORMAL MUSIC SENIORS CORNELL OFIOWA heart to music so beautiful you had not dreamed it could be made by mortals. Instead of all this, you would go calmly to your chemistry and your an- alytics, and the days would be unbroken by any such inspiring disturbances. There would be no Christmas Messiah Concert. In fact there would be no Oratorio Society to foster and increase the love of fine choral singing. There would not even be a sight-singing class where you could learn to read music if you had not had a chance already. A Glee Club, that organ- ization so near to the student's heart, would hardly be probable. There would be no opportunity for the men to study singing, and a club made up entirely of men who were without training would be only a crude thing at best. There would certainly be no orchestra to make you proud of your Alma Mater and her musical accomplishments. The singing in chapel might possibly be worse than it is-that is hard to say. The music committees of the societies would be even nearer nervous prostration at the end of their terms of service than they are now. There wouldn't be much music of any real sort among the students at all, because the people who love music and who manage to find a little time from their college work to do some study of it, would have gone to some other place where opportunities to study and to hear good music were ofered them, and as for the people who love music well enough to devote their entire time and effort to its study, of course they would never have considered coming to a music-less Cornell. Now I am very sure that, even if you are not musical yourself, you are not so distressingly abnormal as not to love music at least from a distance and not to care about living in a place where there is a certain genuinely musical atmosphere. That this atmosphere does exist at Cornell, and that the gracious influence of this most uplifting of the arts is increasingly felt in the life of both college and community, is due, I believe, to the presence of the Conservatory of llflusic in our midst. Am I right? Then smile not un- lcindly as your ears are greeted anew by the confusion of sounds issuing from the open windows, and take off your hat to the red brick house with the pine trees. One hundred lhirly-Iwo ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN Clips Gently Annual Mug flllluaiml Zlieatiual The tenth anniversary of any important event is always a milestone where one indulges in reminiscence and points with pride to progress that has been made. There were very few lVIay Miisic Festivals in the middle West when Mr. Charles H. Adams, as Director of the Conservatory, gave the first festi- val in Cornell. Since then, many have sprung into existence, both in college towns and in the larger cities. This is an encouraging fact, for it means a great growth in the musical intelligence of the American people. The programs of the past ten years show how steady this growth has been with the music-loving public that gathers in lVIount Vernon each year at festival time. The greatest factor in this growth, as well as the source of the keenest enjoyment, has been the Theodore Thomas Orchestra. For five years this organization has been the master-spirit of Cornell's festival. Each year it has led the people a little nearer toward appreciation of the greatest of orchestral works, the symphony. VVhen the second and third move- ments of Tschaikowsky's Sixth Symphony were played here two years ago it is undoubtedly true that they were not understood or enjoyed as they were this year. The festival means most, both in pleasure and profit, to those who hear it each succeeding year. The residents of lVIount Vernon love this priv- ilegeg and among the throngs of visitors, it is a pleasure to note that so many of the same people return until they too seem to belong to the festival. Taking everything into consideration, the Tenth Annual Festival was the best that has yet been given. The somewhat inclement weather de- tracted from the usual gaiety and beauty of the scene, but this was the only drawback. The standard of every program was highg there was no so- called 'lpopular program, and from the first night the festival was an artistic success. On Thursday evening, Nlrs. Minnie Fish Grifiin, soprano, and lVIr. Willizirn E. Zeuch, organist, gave a recital which merited the favorable crit- icism it received. The program was of much interest and was interpreted in a thoroughly musicianly way by both artists. The 'cello and piano re- cital of Friday afternoon gave the opportunity of welcoming Bruno Steindel and his talented nephew Ferdinand Steindel. This recital was one of the gems of the festival. It is not often that such ensemble work is heard, and one can One hundred thirly-three CORNELL OF IOWA lose the idea of performance and feel that music is supreme and all-important. The exquisite beauty of the Adagio from the Strauss Sonata will be remem- bered through many festival seasons. The Theodore Thomas Orchestra and the Cornell Oratorio Society, with Corinne Rider-Kelsey, Janet Spencer, Edward Johnson, and Herbert YVitherspoon as soloists appeared on Friday evening. The playing of the orchestra needs no praise, it is the soul of the festival. Much interest was felt in the new French choral work, The Birth of Venus, by Gabriel Faure. The choruses are beautiful and were well sung by the Oratorio Society under Mr. Horace A. Miller's able leadership. The solos were not so pleasing and the artists were not heard at their best until Saturday night. The auditorium was crowded on Saturday afternoon to greet the orchestra with Campanari as soloist. As in former years, this artist captured his audience with his glorious voice and his magnetic person- ality. NIendelssohn's masterpiece, The Elijah, was a fitting Close to such a festival. The nobility of this great oratorio, and its splendid rendering by orchestra, chorus, and soloists alike appealed to the audience as no other work has as yet done. Elizabeth Platner.

One hundred lhirly-four 1 i 5 E I r CORNELL OFIOPVA Ellie Glen Qlluh ihlg Alirr illtghg Everybody at Cornell knows about the Glee Club, , and we all are so proud of its work this year that we like to talk about it. The year has certainly been a suc- cess. Oh, to be sure, that much-talked-of spring trip had to be given upg but there is still the Christmas trip to look back to, and many other joys that a trip could not bring. It has been a fine year. VVhy? ln the first place the club has had the men. Of course every man in school who knows enough to join in l need thee every hour in Chapel would like to be in the Glee Club, but unfortunately the club is not large enough to take them all in so they try to be con- tent, and take hats off to the fellows who are more V capable. Of the twenty-four men who appeared at the Home Concert, fifteen were members last year. To this body of men who were already trained in the club's way of going at things, were added nine new men, every one of whom meant new strength. Outsiders will perhaps notice most the volume and sweetness in the first tenor part. One so often hears, in a men's chorus, a first tenor that is squeaky, or thin, or Hat. Ours emphatically is notg it is full and round and high. ' The second reason for the success of the Glee Club is the tremendous amount of hard work they have done. We outsiders know very little about it, you don't hear Glee Club men grumbling much about rehearsalsg but for several weeks before the Home Concert you could hear them rehearsing somewhere up in College Hall every night as you went by. And if you asked about it, you found out that all the year they had been putting in from two to six hours a week that same way, drilling and drilling in at- tacks, listening for close harmonies, going over and over every phrase of every song, all for the sake of that exquisite finish that we saw, but perhaps didn't stop to account for. That time might have been spent a dozen other ways. We are glad it was spent at Glee Club rehearsals. The Glee Club Organization is something else that we outsiders know very little about, except that it is effective. There are officers that do things -at least we suppose so. And there are rules which are definitely kept, for One hundred lhirly-six ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN we have heard rumors about things happening to people who broke them. There is a spirit, too, of line loyalty. One cannot talk much about the Glee Club without mentioning the leader. Mr. Skinner would not like to have us talk about him right out in public in the Royal Purple, but the men talk about him and they all say the same thing, that he is right,', and the best leader going , and you just can't help doing things when he wants you to . Judging from his coaching we should agree entirely-with the boys. lVIaybe these four elements of personnel, work, organization and lead- ership will not account for the achievments of the Glee Club, but they will go some way toward it. Perhaps nobody is interested in reasoning about it anyway. But we are all interested in the Club, and we pledge it our heartiest support, and contend that when our club has had as many years as the Oberlin Club Qwhich we all like to praisej it will be able to show as hon- orable a history. One hundred lhirly-seven CORNELL OEIOPVA Glnrnvll Qliinmeruahirg Cbrrlprutra Cornell boasts the finest student orchestra in the ' state, This fact will be more fully realized when it is known that the Orchestra played the Messiah ac- companiments with the Cornell Oratorio Society last fall in a manner that brought forth the highest praise. ' To bring a company of amateur musicians to a degree of perfection sufficient to satisfy soloists who appear frequently with the Thomas Orchestra is certain proof that they are acquiring some of the charm and finish of a professional orchestra. There is no other student orchestra in the state that has made so many successful concert trips as has the Cornell organization. During the past fififiten years no less than ten tours have been l made, the orchestra appearing in the largest and best towns of eastern Iowa. The music played has always been of the highest class, embracing movements from the smaller symphonies, standard overtures and lighter pieces from composers of the first rank. During the past five years, the following towns have been visited: 1904-05: IVIechanicsville, Lisbon, Traer, Grundy Center, Iowa Falls, Eldora, Union, Marshalltown, Belle Plaine, Tipton, Home Concert. 1905-06: Tipton, lVIarion, Cedar Rapids, LaPorte, Waterloo, Park- ersburg, Gladbrook, Grundy Center, Home Concert. 1906-07: lVIonticello, Anamosa, Home Concert. 1907-08: Parkersburg, Hampton, Iowa Falls, Conrad, Reinbeck, Traer, Tipton, Home Concert. 1908-09: Monticello, Ifarlville, Manchester, Tripoli, Waverly, Hamp- ton, Grundy Center, Belle Plaine, Tama, Union, Home Concert.

' Never did an orchestra end its tour more unwillingly or with more delightful memories. In seeking the causes for this happy result we must note first of all the splendid management of Prof. E. P. Fogg. Under his watchful eye, not the big things only, but all the little details as well were provided for with unvarying certainty. The trip was a success musically, too. The months of hard work and preparation showed unmistakably in the concerts. There was an air of stability and reliability which, considering the youth of many of the players, was truly remarkable. Trifling anoyances and disappointments only served to put the orchestra more upon its mettle. The work throughout was char- acterized by excellence of attack, accuracy of execution, and beauty of phras- ing. Toward the close of the first movement of the Unfinished Symphony in particular, the production of crescendos and diminuendos in the winds was superb. Indeed this Unfinished Symphony, complex and devoid of popular appeal as we used to think it, proved the surprise of the trip, for it received several very hearty encorcs. The whole credit for this really great achievment rests with our conductor, a man of ideals and a will to maintain them. For years he has been playing the Unfinished to audiences which received it without a spark of enthusiasm, but now his reward is coming. The orchestra on tour is as jolly an organization as one can imagine. hflade up of people from every field of college life, there is a certain loyalty and esprit de corps which not only produces good music, but good times as well.

One hundred ffly- nine i A peace there is that cometh after sorrow, Of hope surrendered, not of hope fulfilled. A peace that looketh not upon the morrow, But calmly on a tempest that is stilled. A peace that lives not now in joys excessive, Nor in the happy life of love secure, But in the unerring strength the heart possesses, Of conflicts won while learning to endure. A peace there is in sacrifice secluded, A life subdued from will and passion free, 'Tis not the peace that over Eden brooded, But that which triumphed in Gethsamane. wrainrg unh Evhatv ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN A Great Milam in lgnlitira In the year 1881, in the city of New York, there , appeared in the political arena, a young aristocrat who l was destined to become the greatest regenerating force in American political life. At the time of his advent, the political machine was the one supreme force in public affairs. Backed by systems of corruption un- paralleled in their effrontery, made arrogant by years of civic apathy and neglect, it dared to boast its un- questioned authority and throttle every proposed re- form. But, as so often in the affairs of men, at this climax of its power, the period of decline was at hand. Into this scene of gloom and shadow, the young New Yorker went, inexperienced in politics, inspired by beautiful, unworkable theories, but, for all that, brave, energetic, and sincere. From the first he stood for good government and public honesty. He met the at- tacks of the machine by appeals to that supreme power of the nation-public opinion, and, if today, the people of the United States have been aroused to greater civic responsibility, and the forces of dishonesty driven from their long invulnerable strong-hold, it is because of the untiring resolute activity of that large and generous servant of the truth, Theodore Roosevelt. Of the legislative and political achievements of such a life, time prevents even an enumeration. A career which includes in its 28 year span, an almost equal term of productive public service, may not be compressed to meet the demands of the moment. Rather, must we turn to that greater contribution of heroic lives, the heritage of motive and of principle. From youth to maturity, consistency of purpose and tenacity of ideal have marked this champion of right. What Theodore Roosevelt is today, he was in essentials 25 years ago. Time has given him practical wisdom, and enlarged his out- look on life, but the love of honesty, the instinct for justice and the square deal,-these were born in him, and with him they must live. The year 1886 in a sense marks a period in the life of Roosevelt. Then it was that, returning from the far west to become an independent candidate for mayor of New York City, he established that firm hold on the national One hundred sixly-Iwo CORNELL OF 101472 sympathies, destined to become his greatest political asset. Into the mean- ingless discussion of an otherwise lifeless campaign, he injected the energy and vigor of his own personality. In the eyes of all he was a champion of the people,-a sort of insurrectionist against a common tyrant. To be sure, the campaign brought defeat, and Roosevelt was driven to seek once more a solace in the life of the plains. But the seed of the new ideas once sown could not be wholly smothered.. It found a root deep in the national lifeg it grew and flourishedg and today we reap the harvest in the revival of civic honesty. The ten years that followed were years of development and preparation. Fortified in constitution by the labor and exposure of the plains, Roosevelt once more accepted political office. As Civil Service Commissioner and Chair- man of the New York Police Board he had opportunity to put into practice some of his long cherished ideas of reform. The resulting successes were startling in the extreme. Friends of reform rejoiced everywhere as, one after another, the strongholds of graft and patronage surrendered to the new com- mander. ,97 came, and with it appointment to the Assistant Secretaryship of the Navy. If, as was so frequently charged, this move was made with a view to shelving the young reformer, it failed signally of its purpose. The Spanish-American War came on, and with it the opportunity for still greater service in the field. Roosevelt resigned his office to become lieutenant-colonel of that most remarkable regiment of volunteer cavalry, The Rough Riders. Officers and men were eager for action, and from the opening of hostilities to the fall of Santiago, every engagement of that brief campaign found them ready on the firing-line,- the bravest of the brave. In a war filled with evidences of the loftiest heroism, the achievements of this gallant band and its intrepid young commander stand unsurpassed for bravery and devotion. What the Civil War was to Ulysses S. Grant, the Spanish-American War was to Theodore Roosevelt. The events of this confiict created a senti- ment so overwhelming for his election as governor of New York, that today we can scarcely recall his opponent's name. As governor, his record was distinctly one of achievement. He found the state administration thoroughly political, he left it business-like and efficient. He kept thrice over every promise that he made to the people in his canvass. He so elevated the tone of the administration, and so effectually educated public-opinion that future governors found easy what was before almost impossible. The great popularity of Roosevelt was by this time unquestioned, and, as V One hundred sixty-three ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN a presidential election was impending, Republican politicians conceived the idea of making him McKinley's running-mate. Wise enough in conception, the plan had one serious drawback-the opposition of the candidate himself. Roosevelt was too ambitious to relish the political suicide of such a plan. He refused to allow his name to be presented until convinced by his political associates that the success of the party depended upon his acceptance. Only a few short months after election, in the city of Buffalo, the bullet of the assassin deprived the nation of its chief magistrate and thrust upon Theodore Roosevelt the office of president. It was a supremely critical period in Roosevelt's career. Brought by a tragedy which no one could have foreseen into the position of highest trust in the gift of the nation, he was confronted by the additional difficulty of carrying to a successful conclusion the policies of his predecessor. Had he chosen to throw them aside, no one would have felt surprised, but to the American people he had given his promise to support these principles. As a natural consequence the first act of his official career was to request the mem- bers of McKinley's cabinet to remain in office. This was a deed of singular wisdom for it served at the same time as a proof of good faith and as a guarantee of a stable administration. Public confidence was restored and the hostile critics who had pictured the president as a rash and dangerous man, driven to enforced silence. All through his career it has been Roosevelt's misfortune to be accused of headstrong and injudicious conduct. The trouble was and is even today that men mistake for unbalanced raslmess those activities which though car- ried on with great energy and rapidity are only the result of the carefullest consideration. It was something more than rashness which drove the Span- iards from their entrenchments on San Juan hillg it was the sheerest military necessity. It was not rashness which drove from their positions the bribe- taking policemen of New York Cityg it was the demand of long-outraged decency. And just so, when in 1902 the great coal strike brought to a stand- still hundreds of manufacturing establishments and threatened with actual suffering millions of homes, it was not a rash meddler who stepped in to call for a settlement between Capital and Labor, but a man who saw clearly the political peril of the act, yet dared to risk all for the sake of the nation. Theodore Roosevelt is today the best exponent of the national conscience. Throughout all his dealings with corporations and with organized labor, he has stood for the principle of absolute unswerving justice. Defiance of law, One hundred sixly-four CORNELL OFIOWA whether in the financial circles of Wall Street or the mining camps of Colorado has met his severest condemnation. Not content with the use of written and spoken word, he has employed against the worst offenders the machinery of the courts. After his recent attacks on illegal corporations, fearful revel- ations of corruption followed, public-opinion was aroused, and the wave of reform thus started spread throughout the nation. That the financial centers should also be affected is not strange, for the fictitious standard of values formerly prevailing could not endure the light of publicity. But that on President Roosevelt should be laid the blame for the resulting stringency, is the height of folly. Condemnation should come to those who builded fool- ishly, not to him who pointed out the Haw. No man who has ever occupied the president's chair has manifested such a wide range of activities as has Theodore Roosevelt. Busied as an execu- tive with a multitude of duties, he has still found time to read widely, to write ably and to criticise profoundly. Universally known as an astute and practical administrator, he has become to his age its most profound idealist and greatest preacher of civic righteousness. Though generally recognized as the foremost advocate of strong, centralized government, no man has fought as he to preserve the liberties of the people. Famed as a gallant soldier, and himself the foremost advocate of a greater army and navy, he has won the Nobel prize for most distinguished service to the cause of universal peace. And thus, against the background of the times he stands, earnest in purpose, versatile in talents, broad in sympathies, the one colossal figure of the age, the foremost citizen of the world.

It does not assume an instantaneous change. My after means ten years after. The college professor's task involves the constant inetrpretation of student life and this leads to a more careful analysis and valuation of his student ex- perience that is made by most of the alumni. In this process I have been greatly impressed with the change in the point of view and estimate of values that ten years can bring. Of course the bodily changes that ten years will bring account for con- siderable change in one's point of view. It is fun to jump into a snow- bank up to the ears at ten, but not at twenty. A youth without scruples may find pleasure in dancing all night at twenty-five and not at thirty-five. Further education, whether in a university, a professional or technical school, or in one's chosen occupation, brings changes in one's scale of values. The experience of living adds its quota of changes. Whatever the factors pro- ducing the changes they are so many and so prounounced as to constitute a distinct psychological era in the life of an educated man which deserves study along side of childhood and adolescence. This period commonly belongs some- where between twenty-eight and thirty-eight and might be called the 'settling down period. It occurs to me that students might appreciae a report from the far side of that period on some of the common aspects of college thought and life. I would first note a rearrangement of egoistic and-altruistic impulses. Every worthy man is partly egoistic and partly altruistic. Absolute egoism is immoral, absolute altruism impossible. As I remember college days, egoism tended toward egotism and altruism toward reform and even revoultion. Not only did we walk the streets as though we owned the city, but we also had an interior egotism which could bow to teachers and elders in absolute propriety while secretly convinced that we knew better and would show the world when our turn in life came. VVhile student traditions were mighty, the traditions and conventions of the race were in great need of mending. There was no great respect for the economic and social processes going on outside of, and, for the most part, independent of us. In a few years we intended to oil up the friction points and run the system ourselves for the Two hundred CORNELL.OFIOWA good of humanity and the glory of God. VVhile we had outgrown the childls attitude, that the self is the sun of the solar system of life, we had not fully discriminated between the world and our world. The more un- fortunate among us identified the two. This resulted in a cock-sureness that was highly amusing to our elders. Our altruism was of a corresponding type. It was based on an abounding good will. Life was to be a service, but high service, leadership, mastership. We were not to over-ride but to show the way. The altruism of self-sacrifice, of lowly toil, of giving way to another for the good of the cause, had small place. It was hard to see how the eclipse of such a luminary could be for the common good. Ten years of life revealed many personal limitations unsuspected on Commencement Day. An essential for mature efficiency for many a man is a willingness to be the calibre of man God made him instead of what he hoped to be. Ten years after, one is less apt to think himself exceedingly able in several directions. This leads to a juster recognition of the worth of our fellows. Especially does one grow in appreciation of the wisdom of his elders. Ten years after, we find ourselves falling into some of the same convictions that we esteemed so foolish when in college. There is great increase in appreciation of the real wisdom and use of institutions and con- ventions and traditions which as students we despised. A very few years convince us that the great economic and social system is running without let or hindrance from us. After a few' trials, most of us are too busy trying Two hundred one ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN to keep out from under the machine to try to run it. By the tenth reunion, practically all of the class have discovered the difference between the world and their individual worlds. Consequently they are more anxious to learn what the world is saying and doing and thinking. This is not a surrender of individuality and originality as the youth often thinks, but a recognition that the individual and the original can become largely effective only through its power of functioning in the world of thought and life that is largely independent of the individual. It is a recognition that each of us is a cog in the wheel and not the whole machine. Authority has more force be- cause of greater respect for the wisdom of the past, of other men and of collective judgment. On the other hand, there is danger that loss of egotism may result in a worse selfishness. When a man realizes how little he is and how powerful are the forces with which he contends, he may contend that self-preservation is his first duty and is entitled to all his strength. He may become practical and abandon his youthful altruism as a dream. Men of nobler clay do not lose but modify their altruism. While leadership is not avoided, the altruism of lowly service takes on new importance. The neces- sity of self-subordination and team play becomes more apparent. It be- comes more comprehensible that personal eclipse may be for the common good. Slowly one comes to see that the ideally best is not always the best under the circumstances. Little things and little services grow in significance. The slowness and complexity of real progress is recognized. He who would once reform by revolution is now content to help on an evolution toward better things. There may be no less of good will after ten years, but there is more of humility, of willingness to serve, to obey, more of patience and practicality. A second difference is in the valuation of college activities. Real value attaches to experience in student organizations, yet the enthusiasm, the feel- ings, the wire-pulling, the anxiety, the time and strength invested become ridiculous after a few years, when we count the stakes for which we played. I once spoiled the best part of a week over a class election and now I can- not remember who was elected and which side won. Really it made little difference who was elected. A lecture, a concert, even our lessons sank into significance before a reception by one of the girls' societies. Socializing was serious business. The freshman rush, the sophomore colors, the junior team, the senior totem, these were things to sacrifice for, yea, if need be, to go bankrupt or die for. None of these activities look very important now. I believe in the educational value of athletics and I still like to see Two hundred Iwo CORNELL OFIOPVA our team win, but honestly at present it does not seem to me worth an arm or a leg or a year's schooling to win a state championship. To an under- graduate this may sound disloyal, but that only shows how the scale of values has changed. I believed in any sacrifice short of life itself to win when I was a student. None of the activities named are bad. They have their educational function. But most of us were ready to spend time and strength and money on these more freely than on some things that now look more important. I also find a change in my valuation of men. The hero of my class who could preach and sing and orate and play football and be a social lion and Hunk and swear and drink, has gone to ruin and is a social outcast. He never was a strong man but his spectacular career dazzled our eyes and warped our judgment. If you would make a roll of the fauclty in the order of their strength according to your judgment on Commencement Day and rearrange the list ten years after, I think you would make many changes. On my list I Hnd that quiet, modest, scholarly men have moved up and men of brag and noise and action have moved down. I suspect that students generally over-estimate the spectacular man who makes grand-stand plays and underestimate the quiet, aesthetic, mellow soul whose influence becomes a savor of light and life in after years. The things of life also look different in prospect and in retrospect. Whether money shall rise or fall in value depends on the quality of the man. A Two hundred Ihree ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN In evaluating career, I think most graduates experience a change. When the newness of life wears off and one gets accustomed to seeing his name in print, when the hollowness of much of the praise and blame of men is detected, when a few goals have been reached and found unsatisfying, the wise man settles down to his work and lets his career take care of itself. In my class most of the girls had high notions of careers which they aban- doned after a while for the higher calling of domestic life. And the ap- prenticeship of life opened the eyes of most of the boys to the cost of success. In many directions it is an open question whether or not unusual success is worth what it costs. Those of us who are near the average of human en- dowment may safely conclude that we can help the world on and up more by noble all around living than by any highly specialized success that is possible to us. This seldom seems so to the undergraduate. It is so dazzling to be a great scholar, a great scientist, a great lawyer, a great speaker, a great artist, a great teacher. It is so commonplace to be a man, a woman, a citizen, a Christian. Yet I suppose it is more important to society that I be a good father than that I be a great psychologist, though socitey might profit by both contributions. Thus what seemed incidental on Commence- ment Day has become primary, and what was primary has become secondary though still important. Such are some of the changes that I have noted in my own life. While giving you this report from the far side of the settling down period, I real- ize that students must still be students and that students can not and should not enter fully into the older point of view. My thought is to assist you to a better understanding of your elders by calling attention to some of the changes that come with years and to interest you in the process that you may better observe yourselves as you in turn shall settle down.

Joe, Billy, Punk Cole- man, Eddie Wilcox, Gravy Hayes and I did have quite a grand re- union at Christmas-time, but that's another story. No, I am not going to tell about games won and lost though that would be interesting, perhaps. I think in the course of my athletic career at Cor- nell, we travelled some 6,500 miles. These are some of the incidents of those trips. Bill Nye, now the governor's secretary, will remember, I doubt not, the time when he took the ball team on a week's trip to Des Moines, Simp- son, Western, etc. Hester was the mainstay of our pitching staff that season, the same of whom the tradition was that he never had an on day pitching unless there was a red-headed girl in the grandstand. Hester later developed into quite a social lion, but at that time, well, 'he had just come over from Martelle. I remember how Fish Kelley stole Hester's celluloid collars from his suit case and burned them in the presence of the whole team. To come down to later times. Burt lVIillen, who at present represents the state of Iowa as a Rhodes scholar, was lying on the bed in a room in the third or fourth story of a hotel in Tama. Burt Wm resting in order that he might be able to sustain his mighty reputation as a sticker in the game with Western due to start in an hour or two. His shoes and stockings were near the window. I am not sure, it may even have been K, D.,,' but I think it was Bud Granger calmly tossed them out of the window onto the busy street below. hleanwhile someone hid Burt's baseball shoes. No one would go after the things, so in order to recover his lost property it was necessary for Burt to walk barefoot down through the hotel office and out onto the main street. 'Twas an ordeal out of which he got little joy. Now it may be that I have named the wrong victim for this story. It may not have been Burt after all. But the story's true anyway. That base ball season was a memorable one for all sorts of practical jokes. The most famous of all is the Harvey Strack story. We had played Two hundred five ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN the day before against Drake or somebody, stayed over night in Des Moines and were at the depot in the morning ready to go to Indianola. Now Har- vey knew a young lady in Des Moines and that same young lady had been out to the ball game the day before and was real interested in Harvey-so interested that she got up early and came down to the depot to see us off for Indianola. Be it known furthermore that in the game the day before Harvey had had a bad inning at third base. In the fifth he had booted a couple of 'em and then threw wild to first. Well, Harvey and the young lady were on the depot platform, talking very interestedly to each other. Meanwhile Deak Keedick, who was behind many such an affair, was plotting mischief. He tackled a newsboy around the corner of the deopt and made some arrangements with him. Before long, the newsboy in the natural course of things came down the platform to where Harvey and his friend were standing. The boy stopped to sell a paper to a man near them, Two hundred six CORNELL OF IOPVA and then shoving the paper up between Harvey and the girl called out, Morning paper! All about Harvey Slack, the worldis greatest third base- man. All about his sensational plays in the fifth. Coming from a strange newsboy, this was rather disconcerting. All about the crack third baseman of America. They looked at each other in blank amazement and then gradually the situation began to dawn on Harvey. Deak laughed so about the matter that he missed the train, and Bill Young, the manager, had to make arrangements to have a team bring him over to Indianola. Then Harvey himself got to talking to a travelling man on the train and forgot to get off at lndianola, and had to be brought overland from the next station beyond. 'It was someone on that same team that slipped my suitcase out from under the seat one day and packed a great big rock in it under my baseball suit. But the joke of it all was that an Ames player met me at the station and lugged that suit case clear across the Ames campus to stand by when I took out of it a big stone that must have weighed at least twenty-five pounds. Who of the 1902 championship team will forget that night at Picker- ing? That whole evening was full of escapades, but I remember especially how someone had a great big ball of twine, tied one end of it to the res- taurant door and reeled the whole ball off the end of the train for a mile or more. I think it was on that trip that the faculty representative hung his overcoat on the rack in a restaurant and later was embarrased in con- sequence. One of the boys stepped up to him afterwards on the train and pushing back the professor's overcoat, he said, Why, Professor, what is this? I am surprised. It was a half empty whiskey bottle. I think it happened about this way. We were stopping in Dixon, Ill., on the way to Chicago for one of the Chicago-Cornell games. Matty caught sight of a man in a great hurry hustling along with two grips from the station in the direction of town. Matty opened the window with a slam and yelled, Hey there, come here. The man turned around im- patiently. When he saw Matty beckoning to him violently he hesitated and then walked rapidly toward the train again. When he had got well back within easy hearing distance, Matty leaned out of the window and said very complacently, And what is your opinion of the weather? Just then our train pulled out and the man's remarks, however appropriate they may have been, were lost in the din of the outgoing train. I recall another time when passing on a slow train through Illinois, returning from Beloit or some such place, time hung heavy on our hands. It H ' Two hundred seven ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN was about nine o'clock in the evening and the train was stopping at every little broken winded, one-horse town on the line. We decided to have some fun at the next station. There were eighteen of us and we lined up in a row and got off in order and shook hands with the first man we saw on the station platform. As soon as a fellow had shaken hands with the man, he stepped back on the car. The old man couldn't quite get it through his head what sort of a lunatics' reception it was he was holding, and the other depot loafers stood with mouths wide open until the train pulled out of sight. I suppose they are still trying in that town to figure out what sort of a hallucination it was they had. Jack Kerr and lVIattyl' were a pair hard to equal. Jack always had the train in a roar of laughter with some such touching little ballad as They're moving Willie's grave to build a sewer, or a harangue like the corn-cure lingo, which says, I have cured corns on all the crowned heads of Europe. These are but a few of many, many stories I could tell. They were jolly days. They will not come again to us. Other days fully as happy are in store for us, but not just like these. Sometimes we went too far in our sport, but not often, and in the main we are better men for the happy comradeship of those games and those trips. 72 Mount Vernon Street, Boston. Two hundred eight CORNELL OFIOWA ilu at Zfuairwnz mag My Qflahgn IE. illrrmnm Sometimes the knowledge that they have misunderstood each other comes as a shock to intimate companions. Such proved to be the case with Jack Stewart and his father. Before Jack could remember his mother had died, and ever since that time he and his father had been chums. As a very small lad, it was his father to whom he joyfully announced his scholastic attain- ments, and always he had received a pat on the head, and if the report were unusually good, the pat would be accompanied by a small coin-a reward, at least so the boy took it, of work well done. And throughout high school days lVIr. Stewartls interest in geometry, debate or baseball victories never flagged. Jack in turn, became acquainted with his father's business and helped him with a will. But one day when jack announced his desire to go to college, the shock came. Such a thought had been foreign to the mind of the prosperous cattle merchant. lVIr. Stewart argued at first, then grew insistent. Jack pled his case manfully and then, stung into resentment by the lack of understand- ing, he cried: I don't care, I will go to college. I'll help you vacation times and you needn't pay meg only give me your permission to go to school. Well, go John, if you are so determined, but remember, not one cent will you get from me. And moreover you needn't trouble me during your whole course. I had counted on my only son becoming my partner, but he chooses to go away from his father-go if you want tof' he added grimly, picking up his newspaper with his habitual air of decision. The straight boyish figure had drooped in despair, the frank grey eyes looked wistful, but the lad had walked away decidedly. That had been five years ago. But for William Stewart, alone in his stuffy office on a late May morning, the scene was being enacted again. Not often would he tolerate such thoughts, but business was dull this morning, and being a trifle weary besides, he let his mind dwell on the memories which came thronging to him. I In all his life Mr. Stewart had never felt so thwarted as by this one incident with his son. To be sure, he had had conflicts, but always his strong will and remarkable executive ability had won. Jack had ignored his life-long hope and so it had been characteristic of the man to talk as he Two hundred nine ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN had to his son. Characteristic also, that he had not relented in the least these five years, though he had watched slyly the boy's every movement. He had gathered information from here and there. He knew that the first two years had been full of hard work-that somehow or other the boy had earned his way and made a record in scholarship. He knew that at the beginning of the third year, the boy had entered an expensive fraternity and that this had necessitated his leaving school in the spring in order to pay his debts. He knew that Jack had re-entered school again the next fall and made a brilliant record in football. And he knew intuitively that the last two years had meant victory in athletics, popularity among the students, but defeat in scholarship and a burden of debts. He had watched the boy grimly-unconsciously glorying in his grit, but feeling some little satisfaction in his financial failures. It's good enough for him, he thought, cost me a good deal not to have him, the lad'll find out he needs his father to back him. At this point the telephone rang and Stewart, glad to shake off these vaguely disturbing thoughts, rose with alacrity to answer it. However it was only a farmer inquiring about the cattle-market. Coming back to his desk he picked up the morning paper, with the same thought ringing in his mind that had sounded there so many times these five yearsg he and the lad had chosen their courses and it was no use to think about past deeds. He opened his paper to the market reports, but as he did so his eyes carelessly fell on the sporting page and caught a familiar name. Curiously he read the paragraph. The baseball season of Brown University ends tomorrow with a game against Wesleyan College. Brown is expecting great things of her pitcher Jack Stewart, and the game With an picked up his Chicago.

Ah! one from Johnson, his buyer, who was now in broke the seal and read, and the scowl on his face deepened. Beastly luck-Johnson ill--must quit work. What in the devil am I to do ? he half muttered to himself. There isn't a man around here I'd have. Then like a flash came the thought, Jack will be through in two weeks. Why not get Jack? The boy needs money and it will be a good way to end this fool estrangementf' There was no acknowledged assent to this, but as he worked that day Two hundred len CORNELLOF the thought lingered and his need of Jack deepened. That night at supper in the ill-smelling restaurant, Stewart's mind turned again to his problems. He was cutting his beefsteak abstractedly when suddenly he stopped as if dumbfounded by some startling news. He pulled out his watch and glanced at it. Half-past six. Pushing back his dishes he got up and was hurrying from the room, but spying a business friend he accosted him with Say Mar- tin, I find I have to leave town on the seven-thirty train. Will you speak to Jones for me and get him to stay at the office tomorrow ? Sure I'1l do it, replied Martin, By Jove, man, you look like you were going off on a happy jauntf' But part of it was lost on Stewart who was half through the door before Martin ended. I'Il see the game and find out if the boy's changed any and if not-I'll put my proposition to him he was saying to himself. And he swung down the street with unaccustomed vigor. Among the unusually large crowd at Brown's athletic field the next afternoon was William Stewart. He was surrounded by students, Haunting colors and banners, tooting horns, and at frequent intervals breaking forth in college songs and yells. It was not an atmosphere in which he felt at ease. This enthusiasm and warmth he had never felt in his dusty office or even in his town. He felt vaguely disturbed by all this fooling. Soon the game was in progress. The crowd became silent and tense. Every eye was directed toward the field. No cheering now except after a good or successful play. Stewart's attention was centered on Brown's pitcher, so was that of many other people, he felt. He experienced a little pride in the fact. The game moved swiftly. 'Stewart was pitching hard and true. The men on the team were giving loyal support. Wesleyan too was playing good ball, but with less confidence. Seven innings ended and the score stood five to three in Brown's favor. Then the sidelines nearly went wild. They shouted and sang. Jack Stewart's name became a refrain. Boys in sheer delight shook each other's hands, exclaiming Isn't Jack great! Stewart senior heard and smiled with evident satisfaction. In the midst of such excitement Wesleyan opened the eighth inning at the bat. Again the same breathless silence along the sidelines. Stewart swung his arm and foot, balanced and threw. Ball called the umpire. H Two hundred eleven ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN Those watching the pitcher closely, noticed a just-my-luck expression pass over his face. He threw again. Again the ball missed the straight path, and finally the man got a base on balls. Now Stewart's face was like that of a grim warrior. The second batter made a two-base hit, and Wesleyan was safe on third and second. The excitement and suspense became stifling. The third man knocked an easy grounder, but the Brown short stop overthrew first and Wesleyan ran in two scores. The sidelines cheered loyally. Brace up, Stewart, old man! You can fan 'em yet! And then for the team-, but Wesleyan had received its needed impetus. It was now as if fresh players had been put in against the tired Brown men. Brown was dogged, determined to hold their own. Stew- art's right arm did not fail again. But Wesleyan's crack batter hit safe again in the ninth inning and gave them another score. Brown's last chance passed without any change in the score, though they played bravely to the last. The sidelines cheered undauntedly as they moved away. William Stew- art, among them, marvelled a little at their cheerful loyalty. Good game after all. Stewart started and noticed a tall, spectacled man addressing him. Yes, he responded laconically. Our boys played well and Stewart fought mighty hard. I'm sorry for him. This is his last game. Splendid qualities in that man- Is he a winner? inquired Stewart who had now recovered from his astonishment. No o-not exactly, replied the professor thoughtfully- But I think he will be. It's hard to tell though, he added, he's been such a mixture while here. This is where I turn-good day, sir. Stewart walked on in exultation. He was satisfied. Jack had played hard and shown the right qualities. Perhaps he had weakened in the end a trifle, but with encouragement he'd make good anywhere. It was eight o'clock that night when William Stewart knocked on his son's door. Come in, called a voice faintly. Stewart entered a luxurious room hung with pennants and flaring pos- ters and littered with baseball paraphernalia. Jack was lounging in a Morris chair. He glanced up indifferently. Then as he recognized the visitor he uttered an involuntary cry and half started from his chairg his father however waved him back and said steadily: Two hundred twelve CORNELL OF IOPVII Jack, Johnson must leave my business. You finish college soon, I understand. I know you need money badly. Come and work for me. I'11 pay you well and we'll both forget this tomfoolery of the past five years. He looked at the boy expectantly. It was beastly hard to concede even this much but it would be a comfort to have Jack around again. There was an inscrutable expression on Jack's face. He might be iron- ical, perplexed or disappointed--Stewart did not understand.

We had to the last time. It was at a spread at Bowman Hall and immediately after supper-such things often happen there, you know. From gay chatter the conversation drifted into woman's favorite pastime-gossip, and unerringly to the one favorite topic-the inconsistency, the fickleness, and the brainlessness of a certain Mayme Fenton. - I tell you, girls, Ann burst out excitedly, Its getting to be more than I can stand. She ought to be ostracized from the crowd. She didn't use to be so bad, but lately she has broken every rule of the 'bunch'-stolen our men and made eyes at every man in the place. She actually smiled that homely janitor into giving her a box of matches and almost a whole can of kerosene. She is positively the limitfl And that isn't all, chimed in the adorable Kate, She is making fools of those fellows. After she comes in she most laughs herself to death at some of her escapades.

Before all could 1'ecover their breath, the much-talked-of lllayme Fenton dashed into the room, her black eyes dancing with merriment. She tossed off her furs, hat and jacket, and burst into a fit of laughter. Laugh, and the world laughs with, began Kitty Turner, but not unless it knows the joke. Girls, girls, this will certainly kill me off. just think, no less than twenty men have asked me to go to the lecture Wednesday evening, and I've promised every one that I'll let them know in the morning.

But the other nineteen, Oh girls, girls, isn't it great! And then came the second installment of the laugh. Various comments came from the crowd. Oh shame on you. You,re the limit.' A'Some day you'll meet a lemon. And so on until some one suggested that the fudge and divinity were very much left out, and every one began to eat hastily as if supper had been omitted that evening at the Hall. But the most excellent Mayme Fenton sacrificed all the good stuff for the sake of her complexion, and, laughing, left the room, to meditate on her past ventures and dream of new worlds to 7 conquer. As soon as she left the room, came a chorus of Oh, the hypocrite The Heathen l I tell you, girls, this has got to stop.

There was Shorty, Bug, Jim, Joe, Buck, Skinney and numerous others of his bunch. And others continued to arrive until the poor little spoon- holder contained a fine array of just twenty Sir Galahads, all lined up, try- ing to talk in an unconventional way. Skinney started the query, Who you takin' to the lecture? The answer came in self-satisfied tones, Miss Fenton. ln a chorus came, Whatl lVIayme Fenton ? Yes Then down the line went the words So am I and astonishment, em- barrassment and wrath fought for predominance in twenty manly visages. There was a long and painful silence. Then from Skinney came the final judgment: ' Two hundred eighleen CORNELL OFIOWA Fellows, we've met a lemon, and I'm going to hand it back all wrapped up in tissue paper-sort of a Christmas present.

Quiet tones of dull red and brown prevailed in walls and furnitureg it was a good place in which to work and plan. The dean, who was also physical directress, sank down into a comfortable chair and gave herself a 'lbreathing spellf' while she thought over her coming engagements. Tuesday was hockey and basket ballg Wed- nesday she was going to give a lecture in Cedar Rapids at the Newrich School for Girls -a plague on Cedar Rapids and the talk she had so care- fully planned to give there. What did the Newrich girls or any one else care especially what they wore, as to whether it was aesthetic or not? For all it concerned the dean at that weary moment, they could go to dinner in their gym suits and play hockey in their hall gowns, and the school itself was not the dean's idea of a correctly managed establishment for young women. Its reputation for hoydenism and want of refinement had repulsed her from the first, but her word was pledged, so she squared her shoulders like a man, and carefully planned her own wearing apparel for the trip. I must be very harmonious and correct, she murmured to herself as she made out' her list. How queer Alonette Bonnard and Cecil Wood had looked when she had broaehed the subject-and they had even treated her project as a joke. The dean failed to see it in that light. They might go with her if they liked. She was a little hurt. 'Tll go or die, she heroi- cally resolved, even if they do think I'm crazy. She put the finished memorandum in a little drawer of her desk, and went into her bedroom to dress for dinner. II The dean was a subdued study in tan'and brown as she mounted the platform in the Newrich chapel. Serenity radiated from her composed coun- tenance-a mock serenity, for she felt anything but calm. The crowd pushed and chartered along. The dean's hopes and fears, mostly her fears, were verified. Lace waists and walking skirts disported themselves, innocent of their crime. There was everywhere such an utter lack of poise and reserve that the dean felt her task was going to be difficult enough. Two hundred hvenly-one ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN The chapel quieted down. She commenced. Her voice was well mod- ulated and carried an earnest note of appeal. The listeners seemed to find themselves interested and not bored. It was an absorbing topic after all, this matter of wherewithal to clothe one's self. This why of greens and browns, and why not of vermilion and yellow. Suddenly it became very evident that something was distracting the girls in the back seats. Someone late, mentally catalogued the dean, it would be all right presently. But the disorder increased, girls everywhere were turning their heads, and a suppressed titter ran through the ranks. A girl conspicuously seated near the front broke into choked convulsive mirth. Her plumcd hat bobbed senselessly before the dean's now distracted eyes. Then the disturbing cause reached her ken, and feminine dress with all its charms vanished from her distressed mind. Alonette-Alonette Bonnard and Cecil Wood. Mademoiselle Bonnard's frightful green hat overshadowed her down- cast eyes and inflated pompadour. Her mincing steps exaggerated the tight lines of her over-fitted walking skirt of deep plum, while a yellow I sweater illuminated and adorned the whole. The dean did not have sufficient courage at her command to examine Miss Wood's costume, but she gauged by the now open laughter what it must be. The crowd surged up and obscured even Alonette's brilliant figure. Order could not be regained. Shrill cries and laughter beat against the chapel-walls. The mob shouted and bowled, and in the confusion a bewild- ered, angry, crest-fallen, correctly-gowned woman slipped from the side-door of the chapel and across the deserted campus.

Mctrulf Nlyriads of fleeting clouds scurried across a moonlit sky, and the trees, in their new coats of ice, bowed stiffly to their neighbors. The weird shadows on the snow received no attention from a merry group of Sophomore girls huddled against a brick wall beneath a fire-escape. Their merriment was suppressed with the assistance of mittened hands pressed against the offending members, and the crunching of the snow beneath their feet could be heard only a short distance away, say as far as a window above their heads where some eavesdropping Freshman girls peered cautiously over the sill and giggled at their discovery. Unconscious of the mischief brewing, the merry five on the ground lis- tened eagerly for a signal. The quick ears of Grace Ashley heard the low whistle first, and, followed by her classmates, she sped swiftly down the shadowy path of the driveway, across the little park to the open road where, in shelter of a clump of pines, out of sight and hearing of the campus, the boys were waiting to tumble them into a sturdy bob-sled, piled high with straw and heavy robes. The next instant the eager horses, with their boisterous load, were plow- ing through the drifted snow, and presently broke into a trot on the open road. It was a stolen ride, and that fact made it sweeter. Noisy college yells died away in the sweeter strains of some college song, until the air rang with the melody of their blended voices. Grace Ashley from her position near the front, forgot for a moment the songs and laughter, and even the attentions of the youth at her side as her eye caught the stooped figure of the silent driver. She watched him draw his great fur collar up about his neck with a languid motion, all out of har- mony with the crisp wintry air, pull his cap down close to his eyes and settle down, seemingly unconscious of the commotion at his back. When the yelling and singing suddenly stopped, she started and turned, to find them passing the home of the late chief engineer, Marlow, whose recent murder had caused much disturbance in the community. His daughter, Helen, was her chum, and she longed for her company on this jolly ride. Even the house, she imagined, looked mournful and sad in the glare of the street light. She turned back to the sled to notice that Two hundred lwenly- four C O R N E L L O F I O PV A the driver, too, was gazing toward the house of mourning. The light struck full upon his face, revealing a tobacco-smeared mouth, and beady eyes in d d 'nstinctively which she thought she saw a wicked gleam. She shuddcre an 1 drew back. I tell you folks, she heard John Hannat saying, coming out tonight, when Helen could not be here. f We had no business Oh it was the only night we could, came in a chorus of voices.

Her eyes shone with terror and her cheeks changed color, but she did not ask his name. A happy thought, John, Clay Field called back to the President, The Freshies will never suspect we are out tonight, on Helen's account. And with this remark the subject was dropped and forgotten in the livlier dis- cussion that followed. Forgotten? By all save Grace, to whom the description of the towsly hair and scarred forehead had come like a blow. Unheeding the merry jests about her, she hid her face in her muff and talked into its furry softness. Oh Bert, Bert. Is it you? Oh it can't be. And yet, why not? I won't believe it. I ean't. But then you were always so impulsive. Oh Two hundred llvenly-five ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN why did you try for that position? Why did I ever meet you? Have I brought you to this? As her mind dwelled on the possibility, the more plausible it became. The boy with the towsly hair, her lover, the position he had fought so long to win-that he might make her his wife-the man who stood in his way, the position given to Dale Fenton, and then Bert's disappearance. It was all clear to her now, as it flashed upon her mind with horrible realization. But then there came the thought, he and Dale were such good friendsg they had been classmates in college, had come out as engineers to- gether, had weathered the wintry storms and followed the mountain trail like brothers. Side by side, they had lain in their lonely tent and heard the wolves howling all night in the forest. But Bert had been the better man of the two and had helped Dale many times with the transit and level. Now the new road was being opened, and he had been stationed with the other men, while Dale had been given the residency. She lifted her large eyes, now burning with unshed tears, to the sky. She unconsciously noted the gathering storm clouds shutting out the moon- light except for the occasional stream through a rift in the smoke-like puffs. Her companions, however, did not notice the change until the snow began to fall. John Hannat, startled by the sudden darkness, sprang to his feet and tried to get his bearings, but his eyes searched in vain for a lighted house or any recognizable sign. His anxiety was contagious. Every boy scrambled out of the bob-sled and, feeling around in the darkness, found to his amazement high banks on either side of the road. This was bewildering. No such road was known to any of the party, and the driver seemed as ignorant as they. The storm increased steadily, as a cold wind arose. The frightened girls huddled together for protection and comfort, while the boys searched constantly for some clue to their whereabouts. The horses plodded on slowly, blinded by the whirling snow and con- tinually stumbled over obstacles in the road. In fact there seemed to be no road at all, and the snow was drifting into miniature mountains before them. Nearly frantic with the weight of responsibility upon him, yet trying to be outwardly calm, John Hannat ran alongside of the sled, and was about to attempt climbing the slippery bank when they came out into the open. The road branched here, and a bridge, under construction, lay at their right. The bewildered horses, unguided by a half frozen, drunken driver, plunged on toward the bridge. John saw the situation and, like a Hash, he Two hundred twenty-.six A CORNELL OF IOPVA knew what it meant. It was the 'new railroad bridge. They had been driven through the uncompletcd railroad passage. With the swiftness born of desperation, he plunged madly forward and reached the horses' heads just as they stepped on the bridge. He managed to stop them, but with such a jerk that one side of the sled slipped off the edge, and Bob, who was balanced there, fell backward. One terrific scream rose above the howling wind, and then, silence as the thud below told how far he had fallen. Indescribable confusion followed. Three of the boys rushed frantically down the incline, some jumping, some sliding, to rescue the unfortunate Robert, while Harold, the cool-headed, stayed to help the girls out onto their feet. He examined the sled, finding the sideboard splintered and one runner twisted off, but, worst of all, the driver, dead drunk and freezing, lying prostrate with the reins still clutched in his stiffened fingers. Taking charge of the reins himself, he covered the poor wretch with the straw, and make a bed for the unconscious Robert as the boys brought him up. Now the sled will have to be fixed,', announced Harold, as he told them of his discoveries. Can the girls go down under the bridge out of the storm ? Just the thing, Clay answered promptly, I'll take them downf' and he led the way. No, we'won't take the robes, called back Grace, through chattering teeth, as Clay helped her down a slippery placeg Bob will need all of them. VVe'll huddle together to keep warm, and so they did. They pressed against the icy stones of the bridge work to escape the cutting wind as it whistled past. But hands and feet were growing numb with cold, and in spite of protecting furs, cheeks and noses were getting white, Grace forgot her painful thoughts in this extremity. She loaned her muff to one who needed it more, and kept her own hands warm by rubbing another's. In the meantime, the boys, busy with repairs which were next to im- possible with the small wire they happened to have and stiffened hands to work with, were carrying on a lively discussion concerning the shortest way to town. I tell you, boys, let's take this road to the leftg we can't do any more than risk it. H - ' - Too uncertain, it seems to meg the safest, surest way is to go back the way we came until we strike the Bliardstown road. Two hundred lwenly-seven ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN Yes, said John, speaking slowly, although his wits were hard at work, The longest way round is often the quickest way home, and Bob must have a doctor quick. The last words were spoken sharp enough as he leaped into the sled, took the reins and wheeled the horses around. He motioned for the girls to be summoned at once, but before any one could respond, a piercing ery from below, told them something worse had happened than frozen fingers. A second time the boys slid down the bank, leaving John to hastily secure the horses and descend. The sight which met his eyes was a startling one. The storm had subsided, and the dim light which had enabled them to repair the sled, now revealed to him clearly the faces of his classmates stand- ing in a frightened group facing the figure of a man with a heavy scar across his forehead. I The situation was critical. And it became more so when he spoke in a deep, well-trained voice with perfect presence of mind. Young fellows, he began, ignoring the girls, you think I am an escaped murderer, think that as you please, but you are in a desperate plight and I can help you. I know this country like a book and I will drive you back to town, on one condition, that you do not betray me. I must not be turned over to the law tonight. Nine pairs of appealing eyes were turned toward John Hannat. They all trusted implicitly in the strength and wisdom of their president. He had Two hundred lwcniy-eighl CORNELL OF IOPVA never failed them. But this was the supremely crucial moment. Frozen hands and feet called loudly for relief. The lad in the sled, now restored to consciousness, must have medical attention. The hour was late. Witli a broken sled and drifted roads, how could they hope or expect to reach the city. John Hannat would have suffered long to save his class, but honor was at stake. Could he, dared he, even in the face of the extreme peril to himself and others deliver a criminal from justice. For a moment he wavered. Take him up, whispered Clay at his elbow, It's worth it, we've just got to, the girls are freezing. Bob may die. Even as he spoke, a girl's figure swayed a moment and fell. Clay caught her. It was Grace, and not from cold had she fainted. Oh, I'm not hurt, she cried, opening her eyes, and as they bent over her she caught the mute appeal of a pair of keen, blue eyes beneath a scarred forehead. Oh, I'm not hurt, don't mind me, we must go. They helped her to the sled but she did not hear them speaking to herg she was listening for John's answer. No, sir, I cannot accept, was all she heard, but she knew what that meant and she knew what John Hannet would do. Dale Fenton sat at an old pine table, the boards of which had not even been planed, the legs, small saplings to which the bark still clung, were driven deep into the ground to lend stability to the crude piece of furniture. The cold December wind, heavy with snow, blew the tent flaps back and forth, and threatened to uproot the whole affair. It had been a long, cold and hard day for him. The snow bothered him-he was not used to so much of it at once. The cold he didn't mind, for back where he had come from they had plenty of that. But it was not the cold nor the snow that caused him to gaze so long at the hole in the tent which the little candle at his elbow was responsible for. He was far from those winter-clad hills. It was cold, but not this kind, it was the kind that puts life into a man and makes that life sweet. He's on the well-worn gridiron back at college, he's standing bent well for- ward with his fingers on the ground. The ball is on the five yard line, a score of five to nothing against them, and only two minutes to play. Clear and distinct came the signals from the quarter-back-his signals. Right half-through tackle. In the second that follows before the ball is passed, he hears the words, It's up to you, coming from the big full-back at his Two hundred lwenly-nine ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN left. A moment later as he lies panting, well beyond the goal-line, the big hand of that same full-back strikes him between the shoulders, nearly knocking out what breath he has left, and he hears, amid the awful cheer- ing from the side-lines, Well, old man, you made good. And now, four years later, in a railroad engineering camp, he realizes again and even more fully that itls up to him. But would he make good? Bert had, and he had been placed above Bert. A queer sound interrupted his reverie. It grew louder as it approached his little tent. He sprang to his feet. Several voices were heard outside, and the sound of horses' hoofs crunching the snow. What could it mean on such a night? He was expecting the division engineer in the morning, but surely he had not ventured out on such a night, and who could he have with him? He thought of the maps unfinished, and his face darkened, but with clenched hands and firmly set jaws, he waited for the rap on the door, then with an air of defiance he thrust it open. Defiance changed to astonishment as he faced a sleighing party. He forgot his hospitality and stood gazing blankly at them. Well, let us in, you young, staring idiot, called the impulsive Clay, We're freezing. This broke the spell, and with low bows and profuse apologies, Dale ushered them into his crude dwelling. He stirred the fire and brushed back the maps and papers spread out on the table. He could hardly make out what the boys were saying as they all talked at once, while they hound up Bobls fractured arm and the girls dipped their hands into his water pail. But when a tiny gloved hand was laid on his arm, he came to his senses. Why, Grace, you here ? Then he began to understand what they were saying-the storm, their way lost, the disabled man, the criminal under the bridge. Then Grace's wistful face, her great eyes looking up to his, re- minding him of Helen and her sweet voice saying softly: Oh Dale, you know I loved him once. f'Once, he gasped, Not now ? Love died with resepctf' Again his thoughts went back to Helen but he answered: Then you mean to say that you, too, believe him guilty? She drew herself up to her dignified height. That is not the question just at present, Mr. Fenton. Will you, or will you not drive us back to town ? Two hundred lhirly CORNELL OFIOWA Dale thought of the unhnished maps and the inspector's visit in the morning and hesitated, but almost simultaneously came the picture of the intricate passage back to the road. It would be diflicult to drive through even by day for one who knew the turnings, and for this bunch of bewildered, frightened, half-frozen youngsters it would be hopeless. The corners of his firm mouth twitched perceptibly as the thought came back to him, It's up to you. I'll go, he answered shortly. Quickly gathering up the maps and papers into a neat pile on the table, he drew on his heavy boots and fur coat. Taking a lantern from its nail, he handed it to one of the boys, while he gathered the blankets off of his cot. The stove closed, and the lamp extinguished, they were ready to start. You're not far from the road, said Dale, as he guided the horses care- fully by the light of the lantern, but it's a mean trick to get there. Several times the sled tipped so far as to threaten everyone with a tumble into the snow-bank. They clung first to one side and then to the other and were treated to humps all along the way. At last the rocky road was over, and the Bliadstown road stretched smoothly before them. As they rounded the corner and swung out into the open road, sounds of sleigh-hells, songs and laughter greeted their ears. Wh:1t in thunder, exclaimed Clay, springing to his feet. Hail, Hail, the gang's all here, came floating merrily down the road, and the Freshmen were upon them. I guess you don't need me now, said Dale, handing the reins to John, and smiling almost out loud as he felt the weight lift from his mind. No, and we're much obliged to you, but here, I,ll pay you more sub- stantially than that. No you won't, forget it, said Dale, slipping to the ground with his lantern. And you can just keep the blankets for now, you'll need them. No, I have 'plenty more. A hearty good-night, and a good-luck to him, and the sobered young folks saw him no more that night. A week later, Dale Fenton ran up the steps of the Ackley home and gave the door-bell a vigorous jerk. A moment later, when Grace found him in the parlor, he was so excited she could scarcely understand his words, but somehow Bert was mixed up in his story, and Bert was free. The real murderer was found. He answered her questioning eyes. Two hundred llairly-one TQOYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN Your old drunken driver was the cause of it all. That greasy old cap covered the ugliest scar you ever saw, and they have him. Oh, he isn't dead ?', she managed to question. Dead, I should say not, with a fur Cozlt and all that straw. He's too tough. No, they brought him too, and in the fever which followed he con- fessed everything, while Bert was just finishing up a job before he'd be called to trial. He knew he was suspected. She scarcely caught the meaning of the words. Her mind was swimming. Indistinctly, she remembered lVIarlow's answer to her father when he had asked about Bert. That boy will make good, he's thorough and accurate. But why was he under that dreadful bridge? she managed to question, and yet she hardly heard his answer. Something about contract, lines, specifi- cations and some other vague terms. But what difference did that make? Where was he? What? What had he said? Bert to have his place? Oh Dale, she exclaimed, you're not giving up your place to him ? Oh, not exactly, I've got another one. I'm off next month. Oh Dale, you musn't. That's all right, Helen goes with me. Then he added quickly, Bert is outside. She flew to the door, but Bert met her half way and was well paid for his peril and pains when she slipped a hand into his and whispered, You did make good, didn't you ?

Only that afternoon the child had paid them a visit and had his last chat with them. Lovingly he patted the coverlet of leaves around them, wishing them sweet dreams in their long sleep. Then, as he gazed up at the old oak tree, the tree spoke to him: Never fear, dear child. I'1l watch over these little ones. Already I have stripped my branches of their leaves to cover them, and have wrapped them snug and warm. The sky had taken on a sullen look, as if it were angry at the colder winds which had come as the heralds of the great storm-king, who was soon to go riding over the land. Gone were the beautiful meadows and brilliant butterflies and happy birds. Gone was the pleasant south wind who had bade them follow him. As the great north wind blew his icy blast through the bare limbs of the old oak tree, the flowers shivered and snuggled down to rest. The little vine, nodding in the wind, tried to keep awake, but at last it sank into sleep. The old oak tree took a last look around and then, with a long sigh, closed his eyes but still,.kept his branches stretched protectingly over the corner of the old stone wall. From his window overlooking the garden the child watched the storm- king come down and ride furiously over the meadows. The snow fell everywhere and the wind made solemmmusic in the chimneys. The storm- king hushed the little brook and threw a cover of snow over him, while all the dreary, tedious winter, the child waited and longed for the glad spring awakening. There comes a day when a shaft of sunshine stretches itself from the sky to the earth, and down it dance the marry little sunbeams which scatter all over the meadow calling, Wake up, little friends. Spring is here. Wake up. The brook is the first to awake and up he leaps so fresh and gay, laughing and rippling along in his glee. Then he joins the sunbeams in their song of Wake up. Spring is here. All of the grasses and rushes along his banks hear the message and spring up out of their sleep. The Two hundred lhirly-four CORNEL-LOFIOWA beetles creep from their homes under the stone wall and the little insects go whirring through the air. One morning a bluebird flits from the hedge and calls the crocus to show its pretty face. And then, Oh little violet. Wake up. It is spring, and I've come from the south to tell you so. Soon the daisies awake and then the little vine. All about them is green.and beautiful. Each morning a big drop of dew rests on every blade of grass, hirds whistle and call in the thickets and at last the old oak tree awakes. Robin Redbreast flashes busily about calling to all his joy- Cheer up. Cheer up. Spring is here. The blue-jay and the wren come to join their friends and soon the trees and bushes are full of their gay carols and happy calls. Through the dark leaves of the old oak tree can he seen a flash of yellow as the oriole, building her nest, calls to her mate, Peter be quick. Peter be quick. The child had been out with the first call of spring and now, happy to be once more with his friends, he plays in the garden and meadow the whole day long. It is all A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew, A cloud, and a rainbow's warning, Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue, That is-an April's day in the morning. Blossom by blossom the spring advances. The violet drinks its deep blue from the sky and the golden cowslips reflect the glory of the sun. The Two hundred lhir ly- five ROYAL PURPLTE, NINETEEN TEN wild-apple Ublushes into bloom and the whole meadow takes on a festive air. Wondrous are the tales which the brook brings to the flowers and grasses and trees along its banks,-tales of the soft touch of children's feet as they wade in the little stream, tales of dreamy couples who gaze into its depths, tales of laughing, sporting youths and maidens who picnic along its banks, and tales of the older people who come there to forget their cares and be young again. From the field near by floats the sweet, pure odor of fresh- turned earth. The plough-boys' whoops are caught up by the hills and sent echoing across the meadows. Even the faithful old horses feel inclined to frisk and play. Down in the garden, a crowing babe creeps among the flowers, parting each smiling face and watching the bees and butterfiies and humming birds that suck the sweet honey. In the corner by the old stone wall the little vine helps to keep the old tree's secrets-secrets of all the precious eggs hidden in the little nests among its branches and of the high hopes of the fond parents. How happy the old oak tree is over the songs of thanks that are poured into his heart each day for his kindly care and protection. The moss begins to cover the old stone wall and he smiles broadly in his rich new dress. Clif, cried the little vine, It was all a long, sweet sleep, and how beautiful this awakening. They all say so-the daisies, the violets, the old oak tree, the beetles and crickets, the bees and all the creatures and plants of the meadow and wood that had awakened to swell the beauty and glory of the Spring. Uhr Semi-1Hrn my murinrir lllllhittmuirr Reilly and Starr were walking slowly across the campus. Reilly was studying the letter which he held, his sullen, rather coarse, face drawn into a scowl. Starr was studying Reilly with contempt and aversion. Reilly's cheerful taste in dress annoyed his fastidious soul. But Starr was captain of the base ball team, and Reilly was a pitcher said to be able to win games unassisted. So Starr was obliged to make the best of the offending clothes. Starr, said Reilly, abruptly, do you think they would expel me be- fore the Dixon game? Expel you, exclaimed Starr: Are you likely to be expelled ? Reilly handed him the official looking note in answer, and Starr read it with some alarm. From Prexy himself! That looks serious, Two hundred lhiriy-six CORNELL OFIOPVA but I hardly think you are in danger before the game. Your grades are all I , ' d rl right, you work for Old Man Dare summers, and you ve done a good ea in other forms of athletics. They can't prove anything. Nearly all the fellows know about it, though-we'll help you through if we can, but of kind of business. It was course we daren't be mixed up too much in that I curious how the boys who paid Reilly's way despised him for accepting their bribes. Well, said Reilly, shortly, I'll see you this evening, after the ordeal, and tell you how I come out. At the appointed hour Reilly was waiting in the president's office, with more trepidation than might be supposed. He dreaded expulsion keenly, though he could not have told precisely why. President Drayton entered briskly. He had just come from presiding at some official function, and still wore his academic robes. The stately, white-haired old gentleman, decorated with the gorgeous symbols of his degrees and orders, seemed the incarnation of the university spirit. ll'Ir. Reilly, he said, sternly and sadly, I understand that you were hired to pitch on the VVinters team. Is this true or is it not? He sat looking up at the boy with keen blue eyes, before which no lie could stand. Reilly winced at the bald statement of fact, but said, simply, It is, sir! Do you know the ruling of that board of trustees in such cases?,' I do, sir. You have, therefore, deliberately violated the rule of the university, and are prepared to suffer the consequences. You are expelled, lVIr. Reilly, and I must ask you to leave town by tomorrow noon. Tomorrow noon! But I can't go till evening! We play Dixon in the afternoonf' We play, but you do not. Dixon has protested you, and in any case, VVinters University cannot afford to buy victories. Reilly stood sullcnly, his brown eyes full of rebellious fire. He looked as if contemplating assault and battery. What he said next was probably the surprise of Dr. Drayton's life. Could-could I stay if I did not play? I should like to finish my course here. Mr. Reilly, I misjudged you. I supposed-that is,-men of your type seldom care for the best things of education. I am very glad if you have been insfrirnl to ar-pir1'. But you are a representative of a system, and you must go.'l Go-where! He was an orphan. So far as he knew, he had no living relative. If there had been no baseball team at the orphanage he would have been working on the section gang by this time. His skill had put him through high school, and through three years of the university course. But now what was he to do with it! The thought of the professional leagues re- Two hundred Ihiriy-seven 'V '73, .QA-' 1 ,,-ur: - V Z.. .1 dxf ROYAL PURPLE, NINETEEN TEN volted him, but he knew that he must inevitably go that way. Men of your typef' Dr. Drayton's astonished words kept recurring to him, each time with a bitterer sting. Each comment on his expulsion which came to his ears drove home to him what that type was. The coach swore at him for the disaster, and flew to watch over the unhappy substitute, Dare. The captain gasped, and bolted to take counsel with the coach. Everywhere it was, Reilly, expelled! VVhat will become of the game ? Not, What will become of Reilly ? When he went to bed he felt sore and bruised all over, and fell asleep with his teeth set deep into his lip. In the frantic excitement of the following day, few noticed that he was packing, or seemed to think of him whose departure had caused the disturb- ance. One or two house-mates bade him a casual farewell, deeply tinged with anxiety for their wagers on the game, and an alumnus came to beseech him not to sell his services immediately to the rival college which had pro- tested him. He was the only person on the campus as he crossed it for the last time late that afternoon. From across the river came the sounds of conflict. As he turned the corner of the law building, the roar met him with sudden force. At the familiar sound his nerves became tense. His hand felt for the ball,-and gripped the suit case handle. From the hill he could look down on the bright colored tumult of pennants. He walked on slowly, down the hill and along the river walk. just across lay the diamond. Suddenly the roar ceased, and there was a silence that fairly snapped. Then there burst out the wild, inarticulate yell of triumph that resolved itself into frantic cheers for Dare. A fierce jealousy shook Reilly. So often he had heard that when the name following the ringing college yell had been his. He strode rapidly away. They were singing the old university battle-song now. Three thousand deliriously happy people were shouting out the martial melody. But it sounded solemn, and made one's throat choky. Perhaps it was the distance, and the echo over the river, made it sound so sweet and sad. Reilly forced himself doggedly on his way, but he felt like a man in a nightmare. Urgent necessity impelled him forward, but his feet were laden, and an unknown force drew him back against his will. He wrestled on for two blocks. Then, suddenly, he knew what the strange force was. He loved the university. He loved the boys. He liked to study. He longed to remain and be part of it. But at the same time he knew, infallibly, mysteriously, that he had never been a part of it and could never be a part of it. He was another Two hundred lhirly-nine CORNELL OF IOWA type of man. If they won this game he would be a dim memory in three days, while young Dare would be a hero forever, for he was part of it, and many would be glad of the victory because they loved Dare. No one had ever cared for Reilly's sake. He was paid to do it. He saw now the sneers beneath the careless good-fellowship of the athletic Held, and he knew why Starr had forgotten to introduce him to his pretty sister. Oh, the shame and bitterness and misery of it all overwhelmed him. The song was still faint and sweet in his ears. He loved it so, and loved those boys in spite of it all. He wanted to stop and listen, and still he wanted to get away from it. The way to the station seemed endless miles long. Indeed, he went so slowly that if the train had not been disgracefully late he would have missed it. He vowed to himself that he would not look out of the window when they crossed the trestle overlooking the field. When they reached it he was straining his eyes ahead for the first glimpse. It showed him a triumphant cloud of dust landing on the home plate. Then the Held SVV211'IT1CLl with dancing figures, and a Hock of caps and pennants sailed into the air. Even above the noise of the train he caught the snappy yell of his own, dear school. Was that Dare on their shoulders? The train, gathering speed, dashed into the cut, and the field was hidden. Reilly's head went down on his arms. The pitiless Car wheels sang, lVIen of your type, Men of your type. A deep sob shook him, and another. It was not for him, all this happiness and triumph and love. They had driven him out because he was a professional, and he might as well go and be one in earnest. Fate, the only other person in the var. arose and came over. What's the matter, old man? Your college beaten? Reilly was motionless for a moment. When he raised his face, it was hard and blank. No, sir, our boys won,-but I was to have pitched today, and I have just been ex- pelled as a semi-pro. He stared at the stranger.

The Seniors, to enable them to preserve becoming dignity, have provided themselves with canes.

News Elirnm the Main-Wrllvnir lmlnrlh The NI. O. Sorority has recently applied for a changed charter. The proposed change shows the increasing friendly relations of Faculty and Greeks. The amendment desired is that it be stipulated that the M. O..Sorority has effected an official and personal combination with the Cornell College Athletic Faculty. A grievous and appalling mistake very nearly befell thc local Greek Worlcl. A youth hove on the horizon recently with brass band clothes, a meerschaum pipe and an odor of gasoline which he carelessly blamed on his automobile. He displayed a digital dexterity at cards that showed the skill of a lVIississippi-Steam boat gambler. In these ways he showed distinctly that he belonged not to the 'Koi barbiirai. Accordingly he was madly and pas- sionately rushed by both the rival cities of SigmAthens and DeltSparta. VVhisper it not aloud! Hush! Harkl It is even told sotto Voce that he was given the hallowed and sacred privilege of meeting and going with a sorority girl. But a keener observer than the rest had his suspicions aroused and soon discovered that the fellow was only a bogus or pseudo-Frat man. The screaming suit of clothes was of last year's vintage and had not been discardedg he wore a eelluloid collar which passed for linen only at a distanceg his trouser cuffs lacked three-fourths of an inch of being the a la mode length: the meerschaum pipe was only a white clay varietyg in stud-poker he could bluff but never got away with ity and lastly the odor of gasoline came from the grocery cart of which he was a regular star- board pilot and driver. Such an imposition is an outrage on our local Greeks. We shudder to think of the result if he had got away with his four-Hush. Our Greeks owe it to themselves and their divine auslociated rights to be very cautious and careful in regard to strangers without bona-fide credentials. 9 T e College Inn S '.1'.f.1'.ff'.r.. lI.?-ad' Rooms EIIICI Meals Everything CEDAR RAPIDS - IOWA First Class Two hundred sixty-eight 3 19 FIRST AVENUE ylalcers of High Class Engravings iliinia Our work is ended.
