They crossed the boundary from r the ideal to the real to win their pl aces in the hearts of men. The great journalistic enterprises of all ages had to sail out upon an ocean of uncertainty. The masterpieces of the literary world had to battle their ways among the books, and enshrine themselves in the public heart. The Phcenix for the first time asks the ears of the friends of Cumberland University, Modestly it rises from the ashes, surveys the field, plumes its feathers, and begins to soar. It is not aimless in its rising-. Its cinders do not revive, unite, and assume form and symmetry to court applause. It wishes to give the public a glimpse of University life and work in an institution that has its sons in all honorable stations in our national life. It hopes to please the friends of the University by greeting them with pictures of our noble professors, and the buildings about which cluster the tenderest memories — memories sweeter than thoughts of watered gardens to the thirsty pilgrims, and to call back a happy past with its fond associations. It feels sure of cultivating in the student college pride, and of preserving for him faces and reminiscences that will be forever cherished and made sweeter by the passing of the } r ears. In surveying its horizon, the Phcenix feels a pardonable pride. It looks in upon all the classes of the University, enrolls the names of their students, and gathers their pictures. It alights upon the windows of each literary Society, notes the hon- ored ones among the galaxy of orators, catalogues each name, and photographs each member. It enters the dark mysterious halls of the Greeks, and where no eye but the initiate sees, searches through archives of the past, drags out puzzling letters figures, words and signs, with hideous skeletons and horned beasts, and exposes these and the likenesses of those who revel in such mysteries. It steals into the cloistered Annex, feasts its ej ' es on the luxury and beauty there, and flies out reflecting the imagery of the lovely creatures who in that institution drink from wisdom ' s fonts. But the Phcenix boasts not itself in its looks. Order is heaven ' s first law, not beauty. We are proud that the Phcenix lives. We trust that as it plumes its feathers to fly from these classic walls, each year will add more brilliant hues to its wings, and that it may be- come, with age, a bird of transcendent loveliness. Our wishes follow you, dear Phcenix. We know the sun of criticism will beat upon your crest, and winds of opposition ruffle thy pinions, but one of the old masters whispers down upon you: Per aspeia ad astro. Thou hast a noble history. As you stand upon let your eyes ever behold the words, Astra castra, numen lumen, and thou shalt find in thy soaring, Thy head wears sunbeams and thy feet touch stars. Tho bird of 1 fan Existing- in the ages gone, Thou, for thyself, hast made a nam That ' s on the lips of every one! The story of thy fabled birth. Of how therefrom the ashes spra A new protector of the earth, Bards of ancient lineage sang. Some now use thine honored name, Symbolic of our own past life, As from the midst of smoke and flame We rose triumphant o ' er the strife. As thou goest forth among our friends. Mayst thou bring back memories dear Of those happiest days one spends, The fond days of the college year! EDITORS OF THE PHCENIX. J. FRANK SMITH, 7 K A W. L. DARBY, K 1 ' W. P. DARWIN, A T i JOHN E.

HIS department, the oldest one of the University, was founded in 1842. It commenced in pov- erty and its struggles for existence were heroic. A rented building and two or three teachers constituted its original equipment. By the year 1860, a moderate endowment had been secured, and an ample .and suitable building erected. In the general wreck of war, the building, endowment, and nearly all its belongings went down. About all that remained was its prestige and the zeal and energy of a few friends and Alumni. At present the facilities as to buildings, apparatus and library are quite credita- ble, and the teaching force has recently been materially increased. Object — The aim of the better class of A merican Colleges is primarily to produce a well-rounded in- tellectual development. The curriculum embraces those branches that are conceded to contribute to this. Languages, history, science, philosophy and mathematics are fundamental subjects, and all are required if the student has a degree in view. At the end of the Sophomore year, certain options are allowed. This is done that mental adaptations, real or fancied, and certain subjects may be adjusted and encouraged. In no case, however, will options be permitted, unless the applicant has passed a satisfactory examination on the above subjects. This does not preclude a selection of subjects by those who have not a degree in view. Methods — The student is examined daily on portions of the text assigned. In addition, there are ex- aminations monthly, quarterly, or at other intervals, dependent upon circumstances, at which the student ' s knowledge of the subjects under consideration is tested. These are both oral and written. A final examin- ation determines his fitness for advancement to a higher class; when the nature of the subject demands, lectures are delivered. Graduate Course — For graduate students who desire to prosecute studies in particular branches, sev- eral courses have been arranged leading to higher degrees. The design is to lead to a broader knowledge of one field of thought or allied fields, and to aid and promote original research. The methods of study and investigation depend upon the subject. For full particulars see catalogue. —16— PROF. J. I. D. HINDS, A.M., Ph.D. PROF. A. H. BUCHANAN. LL.D. 3 MATHEMATICS. Professors A. H. and I. W. P BUCHANAN. -EFORE mentioning- the aim of this school, it is proper to state that the Senior Professor of Mathe- matics has a national reputation by virtue of his connection, for the past fifteen or twenty years, with the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. On different occasions he has been officially and public]}- commended for the unsurpassed accuracy of his work. It is needless to state that this bureau demands most delicate application of the Higher Mathematics. The instruction offered by this department is directed toward the development of powers and habits of exact, candid, and independent reasoning toward appl)-ing theory to practical problems, toward precision and clearness in stating conclusions, and toward meeting the needs of the true student and good citizen, — and especially such as intend to be teachers and investigators in higher scientific and technical work. The aim is to give enough in each of the leading branches to exhibit its fundamental ideas and-xharax- teristics, and to meet its chief difficulties, so as to enable the student to continue its further study without assistance. The Post. Graduate Cour se embraces the elements of the highest style of mathematical reasoning, and when completed qualifies the student to give instruction and to advance knowledge in that department by his own investigations. Civil Engineering — This course, in addition to Mathematics, Science and English required for the A. B. degree, embraces extensive work in Mechanics, Bridge Construction, Topography, Geodesy and Archi- tecture. The theories of these various subjects are pursued, and as much of practice as can profitably be given without gning into a regular field party. Unusual advantages are available in Geodesy, as the student can eng-age in actual field work with the U. S. C. G. party of Tennessee. Finally, nothing inspires to higher and nobler attainments in the boundless realms of thought than easy familiarity with that matchless instrument of investigation, Mathematics. —19— SCIENCE. Prolessor HINDS. HE Science work in the University includes Chemistry, M ineralogy, Geology, Botany and Zoology. 1 In the elective and graduate courses, opportunity is offered to students to specialize in any branch, and the extensive laboratories in the new University building afford ample means for practical work. The study of the Sciences, gives to the mind an admirable training. When properly directed it enables the student (1) to get facts by observation and experiment, (2) to compare, (3) to classify and generalize, (4) to make inductions and deductions, (5) to systematize his own knowledge so that it may be always at com- mand. It is to these ends that the Science Department works in Cumberland University. The facilities for experimental work are excellent and constantly used. Mineralogical and Botanical specimens are numerous, and frequent additions are made to the collection. PHILOSOPHY. Professor WEIR. fN the undergraduate course the aim is to introduce the student to the study of philosophy. Texts are used which give elementary treatment in both the old and the new Psychology. Undergradu- ates are required to study only the phenomena and laws of mind, and a short course in the history of Philos- ophy. Graduate courses are given, leading to the degrees of A.M., and Ph.D. The object of these courses is to aid those who have taken a thorough collegiate course to prosecute systematically studies in the three branches of Philosophy, to-wit: Phenomenology, Nomology and Ontology. —20— PROF.

Professor McLAUOHLIN and Professor FOSTER. £ C ATIN AND GREEK — These lang-uages and their literature constitute an important element of a m liberal education. The requirements for graduation are a general acquaintance with the literature and mythology of the Greeks and Romans, and the ability to read these languages with comparative ease, bating perversions of text and difficulties inherent in the subject matter. Sanskrit and Gothic — In addition to advanced and special studies in Latin and Greek (for A.M.), Sanskrit and Gothic are required in one of the Ph.D. courses. MODERN LANGUAGES. Professor HIMDS and Professor WEIR. BTWO years ' course in both French and German is provided. During the first year thorough drill is given in the grammars and in the translation of easy literature, with continual exercise in pro- nouncing, writing and speaking the languages. The second year is devoted to the reading of classic literature. The course is continually changed during the second year, so that students desiring to do so may continue the study of these languages throughout the whole four years. ENGLISH. Professor RfCE. ENGLISH LITERATURE — The course in English covers four years, Junior and Senior being elective. Beginning with higher Rhetoric it is the intention to drill students in Paragraph structure, analysis of Prose and Poetry, and acquaint them with the best English classics. Also to impart a knowleigeof Angle-Saxon and Middle-Eiiglish, together with a History of the English Language. © HISTORY. NE year ' s work in History is required of all regular students. The course as designed for the future will be directed to the study of epochs, including- Egypt, Eastern Nations, Greece, Rome, Mediaeval and Modern ages. There are no electives in History. B BIBLE STUDY. LL Freshmen students who are candidates for degrees are required to devote one hour per week to the study of the English Bible. PROF. B. F. FOSTER, A.M. PKOF. W. J. GRANNIS, A.M H. W. GRANNIS, A.M. H. N. GRANNIS. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT W. J. GRANNIS, Principal. H. W. GRANNIS, Latin and Greek. H. N. GRANNIS. HE first object of this school is to prepare students thoroughly to enter the Freshman class in college. The second object is to fit young- men who cannot take a collegiate course for active business life. It has a Primary Department, an English, a Classical and a Commercial course. Its history is well known, the present principal having had charge of the English department from 1852 to 1862. and from 1873 to the present time. The teacher of the Classic department is a graduate of the university, and under- stands clearly the methods used there. He is also a graduate of Goodman ' s Business College, in which he was a teacher for four years. Those who enter the Commercial department can enter any class in the preparatory school. The names of the teachers are a sufficient guarantee that the teaching will be thorough and practical; calculated to develop and discipline the mental faculties, and store the mind with useful and practical knowledge. While the cultivation of the intellect must, of necessity, receive a large share of attention, great pains will be taken to bring into healthful activity those higher and nobler powers which constitute us moral beings. Its pupils are taught that there is no excellence without great labor, and that as a man soweth so shall he reap. They are scattered through North, South, West, and itr fact, almost every State of the Union. —27— SENK IE LITERARY CLASS. Senior Class. Officers. President T7. J. BRUCE. Vice President THOS.

PREPARATORY CLASfc PREPARATORY BUILDING. LA iPARTMENT, (45) ANDREW B. MARTIN, LL.D. CHANCELLOR GREEN. UDGE NATHAN GREEN was born in Winchester, Tenn., February 19, 1827. He entered the Literary j Department of the Cumberland University in 1843, and graduated in 1847. In 1847 he entered the law class of Cumberland University, and graduated in 1849. He was married to Miss Betsy McClain in 1SS0. Practiced law with great success until 1856, when he entered Cumberland University again, but this time as a teacher of law. Was elected chancellor in 1873. Has taught two generations of students — father and son. He has taught more law) ' ers probably than any man in the country. Has been a member of the church forty years, an elder for fifteen years. E= =E - DR. MARTIN. HNDREW B. MARTIN was born at Trousdale Ferry, Smith county, Tennessee. He came to Lebanon at the age of fifteen. By his own individual effort he obtained a liberal education. He entered the law class at Cumberland University in 1S56, and graduated in 185S. In 1868 he married Alice Ready. Practiced his profession until 1S78, when he was elected Professor of Law in Cumberland University. In 1883 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the Trustees and. Faculty of Lincoln University, 111. Has been a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for many years. He is an elder in the church, is always a favorite teacher in the Sunday school, and all who meet him at once become impressed with his earnestness and fixedness of purpose. —47— LAW DEPARTMENT. pte HE Law school of Cumberland University was established and put in operation in the month of October, 1847, with i 1 Judge Abraham Caruthers as the first and only instructor. He had been a Judge of the Circuit Court of Tennessee  for fourteen 3 ' ears, and as such had become famous for his learning, especially in the Common Law. At that time a law school in this country was an experiment. The habit of } r oung men was to read for a year or so in the office of an old lawyer and then apply for license. Of course the student labored under ver} ' many disadvan- tages. He would be interrupted by the constant callers who would come in for business or for a social chat. If the old lawyer had very much business he could rarely take time to examine or assist his pupil. Besides, few lawyers had the capacity to teach. It requires preparation, thorough knowledge and tact to make a teacher of law, or of anything else. Yet there was quite a prejudice all over the country against law schools. It was an innovation and lawyers are con- servative. All this Judge Caruthers had to overcome. He did it admirably by his convincing arguments, which were in- troduced into his speeches to the young men and in the circulars and announcements of that day. The school opened with seven students, the present Chancellor of the University among the number. It increased to thirteen during the first term, and to twenty-five before the end of the collegiate year. This growth continued until during the year just preceding the civil war, there were enrolled well nigh two hundred young men. The school was re-organized after the war and has been successfully operated ever since. Other law schools have been established in all of the States since that time, and yet, the attendance here continues from most of the States in the South. The plan of teaching the law, the superior text books, the moot court, and other features have proven sufficiently that the graduates of this school have usually succeeded with remarkable promptness. The teachers do not lecture, but assign a portion of the text after each recitation on which every man is examined the next day. The law is taught like mathe- matics and every student examined. The teacher, of course, removes the clouds, explains the difficulties, and illustrates the text when it is necessary. The stimulating effect of a large class is very great, and a young man not disposed to exert himself otherwise will nevertheless be ashamed to make failures and have his ignorance exposed in the presence of his fellows. During the forty and eight years of the existence of this department sixteen hundred young men have been graduated, and that does not include the present senior class, of which there are near forty members. Many hundreds of young men have been instructed here who have not received the degree, not having attended the required time; so that those who have attended one or more terms may be counted by the thousands. It is remarkable that the graduates from this school have climbed in so short a time to so many of the high positions in public life. The distinguished Representative from the Fourth Congressional District of Tennessee has declared that he sees more members on the floor of the House from this institution than from any other in the land. Certain it is that our graduates are in the Senate and House at Washington, and in almost every Legislature in the South. There are eleven in the Tennessee Senate now, to say nothing of the great number in the House. Three Judges in Tennessee, including four United States Judges, who graduated here. The3 r are on the Supreme and other benches in North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky and elsewhere. So that it is fair to say that a very good way for a young man to begin successful life as a lawyer, judge or statesman is to secure the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Law School of Cumberland University. — 4S SENK IE LAW CLASS.

() recite the history of the class from its organization, on the second of September, 1894, to its gradua- L tion on the sixth of June, 1895, would be but the repletion of the old, old story, with which every collegian is familiar. Perhaps the most characteristic and impressive delineation of the class is em- bodied in Gray ' s beautiful line: The short and simple annals of the poor. Ours has been the common fate of our illustrious predecessors, whose brilliant achievements in the leg ' al field have been the wonder and the admiration of scholars, the fame and glory of our Alma Mater. We are worthy descendants of along- line of distinguished ancestors. Graduates of Cumberland Law School have ineffacibly impressed, and are still impress- ing their personalities upon the political and judicial character of the United States. They are Federal, Supreme, Circuit and District Judges, Senators and Congressmen, Governors, State Supreme Judges, and among the ablest and most learned practitioners at the bar to-day. We are proud of our Genealogy, proud of our cherished Alma Mater. Yet we claim no other advantag-e from our illustrious parentage than an in- spiration to emulate their virtues and approximate their success. The modus operandi of the Law Depart- ment is a luminous anomile on the science of professional education. The inquisitorial system of instruction is retained in all its primeval severity. And the happy effect attest its efficacy. The course consists of ten months while that of kindred instructions is two and three Scholastic years. Mendacious rivals have severely criticised what the} ' deem an insufficiency of time and have advanced much ingenuous sophistry to sustain their criticism. In refutation of these fallacious reasonings C. U. triumphantly presents her remarkable record to an im- partial public and challenges comparison, with any institution in America. It is good authority that by their works ye shall know them. Certainly the surest and best criterion by which we can determine merit is its success. The Alumni, on whose brow victory sits, modestly assert in defense of their beloved benefactress that they have successfully coped with older rivals in the stern contest of professional life, and never ask quarter on the score of youth. To the young man who contemplates studying law — speaking in the light of personal experience — we heartily and conscientiously recommend Cumberland University as the fittest place for the speedy attainment of his laudable aspiration.

For many years Dr. Richard Beard was the only Pro- 1, fessor. The present number of Professors is six. The teaching- force will be still larger next year. This Institution is the only Theological Seminary in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and hence it looks to the entire denomination for its patronage. Its doors are open to students of all denomina- tions of Christians. The course has been extended from two to three years. The Seminary year begins the first Wednesday in October and ends with the second Thursday in May. A sound, thorough and practical theological train- ing for young men is the aim of the Seminary, yet students may have their education broadened by instruc- tion in other departments of the University. Women Missionaries, wives of Ministerial Students and other Christian workers are admitted to the class rooms of the Seminary. A full and complete English Bible course will hereafter be offered to all who wish to take it. This is something well worthy of the attention of those who feel unable to take the classical course. Graduate students and special students have also been provided for, and certificates of work done will be granted. Special attention is given to Elocution and Sacred Music. The following courses of study were given in 1894- ' 95: Junior Class. 1. Introduction to the study of Theology: Systematic Theology, including the Doctrine of the Sacred Scriptures, and Theology proper. — Prof. Foster. 2. Hebrew: Introductory Course, including Exercises in Reading and Writing Hebrew. — Prof. Bone. 3.

Two years ago — Oh happy day! We gathered in this classic hall To learn what wisdom had to say, On problems great and questions sma L,ike flower islets of the sea, That rise, the sailor ' s heart to cheer, Sweet mem ' ries float up from the lea Of two brief years, now gone, but dear. As brothers in a common cause, We blent our labors and our. tears; Bound by no oath and stringent laws, But tied by common hopes and fears. As workmen in the metals rare Forge link by link the chain of gold; By look and smile, and word and prayer, We ' ve formed a bond that grows not old. The fairest blossoms of the earth Oft times conceal a bitter sting; And he, who watches pleasure ' s birth, Soon learns it an illusive thing. The dearest friends, and lovers fond, Some day, sometime, asunder part; And broken is the tender bond That linked together heart to heart. To north or east, or south or west, Each face must turn, his mission fill; With faith in God, lets do our best To work the blessed Master ' s will. In other halls our voices heard, Into the earnest faces gaze While preaching out the Gospel word, Our only motive, Jesus ' praise. ' T would pleasant be to linger here And fill our minds with learning ' s light, But that the Master whispers near, Go out and work, the fields are white. Our hands unclasp, we ' ve said good-by, We have best wishes freely given; In distant fields our work will lie, But then our common home is heaven. MIDDLE THEOLOGICAL CLASS. IIMfcMe Class. Simon P.

FOSTER, Principal. ■ HIS Institution was established in 1886. Its success has been gratif} ing beyond the most sanguine LL, expectation. During- the nine years of its existence, the college has educated, in whole or in part, over thirteen hundred young women, one hundred and six having taken degrees. The work accom- plished has been of a high character. We state with much gratification the fact that, during our whole history, with an average attendance of over one hundred and fifty 3 ' oung women, gathered from fifteen different States, there has not been a death among the number, and no case of serious illness contracted in the college home. In September, 1894, we entered upon a new career in a broader field, with our already full advantages augmented by new facilities in ever} ' department. By the joint action of the two corporations, the College for Young Ladies became an annex of Cumberland University-, our students having equal benefits with the young men, at the same time avoiding co-education. Although having the same studies offered, and having the same teachers, the young men and women do not sit together in class, nor have they any association with each other. The young ladies both recite and reside in the Annex building. They are under the immediate care of the principal and a corps of able assist- ants, and are under the same regulations as formerly, receiving the same careful attention as to manners and morals that we have always given. The so-called minor graces of life are incessantly cultivated. Our organization is as complete as it is possible for thorough equipment and a notable facultv to make it. The members of the faculty, for intellectuality and broad scholarship, are known throughout the land. We have spared no pains to this end: that those under whose personal influence our students must fall, either in the school or in the home, shall be irreproachable men and women, with the highest ideals of life. That no wrong bias shall be given young lives by negligence of our own in placing before them and over them any unlovely character, is, in our esteem, the first duty we owe. —71— Elocution — Special advantages are offered in this department, under a teacher of experience and rare skill. Business Course — A thorough course in Bookkeeping-, Stenography and Typewriting is offered to those desiring to prepare themselves for special work in these lines. Cumberland University Annex — Holds a unique position among schools for young women, being sol- itary in the South. It stands squarely upon a broad university basis, every college in Cumberland Univer- sity, with its facilities, being open to our needs, so that young women desiring a university course can now secure it in a distinctively university surrounding and atmosphere, with none of the questionable features of a co-educational institution. From the law school, A. B. Martin, LL.D., delivers in the Annex Hall, a full course of lectures on law and political economy. From the theological seminary, R. V. Foster, D.D., gives instruction upon the Bible. Only one who has given a life to pure scholarship in a specia lline could conduct this course of study. This feature alone is worth a year in the Annex. SEXK )K CLASS. Graduating Class of 1895. . .A. B. . Ella Estelle Brown, ; Newbern, Term . .B. S. .

Annex! Annex! C. U. A. Ninety-five, Ninety-five! XCV. Cumberland! —75— Maidenhood. Maiden with the meek, brown eye In whose orbs a shadow lies, Like the dusk in evening- skies! Thou whose locks outshine the sun Golden tresses wreathed in one, As the braided streamlets run! Standing- with reluctant feet, Whe re the brook and river meet, Womanhood and childhood fleet! Gazing- with a timid glance, On the brooklet ' s swift advance, On the river ' s broad expanse! Deep and still, that gliding- stream Beautiful to thee must seem, As the river of a dream. Then why pause with indecision, When brig-ht ang-els in thy vision Beckon thee to fields Elysian? Seest thou shadows sailing- by. As the dove, with startled eye, Sees the falcon ' s shadow fly? Hearest thou voices on the shore, That our ears perceive no more; Deafened by the cataract ' s roar? O, thou child of many prayers! Life hath quicksands— Life hath snares! Care and ag-e come unawares! Like the swell of some sweet tune. Morning rises into noon, May glides onward into June. Childhood is the bough, where slumbered Birds and blossoms many numbered; — A3 r e, that bough with snows encumbered. Gather then, each flower that grows, When the young heart overflows, To embalm that tent of snows. Bear a lily in thy hand; Gates of brass cannot withstand One touch of that magic wand. Bear through sorrows, wrong, and ruth. In thy heart the dew of youth, On thy lips the smile of truth. O, that dew, like balm, shall steal Into wounds, that cannot heal, Even as sleep our eyes doth seal; And that smile, like sunshine, dart Into many a sunless heart, For a smile of God thou art. — Longfellow. -7b- A GROUP OF C.

Painting in Oil, Water, Pastel, and on China. Sculpture, Portraiture and Flowers. We want young women who are ambitious to rise above the level of the boarding- school art pupil who has learned to paint beautifully, gotten married, painted a snow scene on her palette, tied a blue ribbon on it and hung- it on the wall for ornament. We want pupils with an aim in life. Not pupils who have a talent for art, but energy and the will to succeed. Nature is the only text-book we recommend. We must learn the real before attempting the ideal. Our Life Class both in Drawing and in Painting has been very interesting this session. With a larger class next year we hope to make it still more profitable. We are especially interested in Oil Portraiture and Illustrative Drawing. Below we give the portrait of one of our pupils drawn by herself from the mirror. The same young lady has assisted in the illustration of this volume. Our terms are SS0.00 per session of ten months, payable quarterly in advance. —79— Elocution and Physical Culture. ' HE aim of this department is to so develop the powers of mind and body as to render the pupil capable of interpreting- and expressing- the best thoughts of the lang-uag-e in a pleasing and natural manner. The study of elocution better prepares . one to meet successfully the demands of any walk of life. SYNOPSIS OF WORK. I. Voice Culture.

History of the Heurethelian Literary Society. + r N 1844 the Heurethelian Society was organized, and from then until the present time it has been one ■ i ' of the most active organizations of the University. Before the war the Society collected a library of over five hundred volumes, which has since, how- ever, been donated to the University. After the war it, for a time, appointed a spiritual adviser for every meeting of the Amasagassean Society, after which the Amasagassean died. For two decades the Society published a magazine, The Student, which was finally discontinued on account of the great expense necessary for its maintenance. To-day its members are scattered over the face of the earth. From Japan to Germany, and from Can- ada to Mexico, they are to be found, and in places from which they cannot get away. While on the Bench, in the Senate, in the Lower House of Congress, in the most prominent pulpits of our land, and as Editors, College Presidents and Professors, they have and are crowning- their Society with honor.

ARUTHERS LITERARY SOCIETY was organized in 1890. It goes forth under the motto Esse quam videri malim, and takes for its aim and purpose the development of the practical along with the unfolding of the imagination and enthusiasm o f the youth. As the practical was the secret of the success of the Romans as a conquering nation, and as a high development of the imagination and en- thusiasm was the stamp of the literary eminence of Greece, so by a happy combination of the three, we strive to attain those elements of perfection so characteristic of the present age. Caruthers Society was the child of necessity and not the result of an evolution. It sprang, Minerva- like, full armed from the brain of its originators, and it moves forward with a sure and steady tread, serving to bless many of the noble students of Cumberland University. It has the mark of immortality upon it and shall not be less enduring than the memory of him for whom it was named — Hon. Robert Abraham Caruth- ers. In its onward and victorious march it bids you welcome. No persuasion of man ought override Your conviction to join the student tide, Which advances with the manly purpose bent On the true principles of development. Not written these in pages of a book, Nor were the} ' framed to-day, nor yesterday; We know not whence they are; but this we know, That they from all eternity have been, And shall to all eternity endure.

'  TIE object of the military department is twofold, that of the government being- to prepare her citizen . for future usefulness in defense of the nation, and that of the University to the complete development of the physical, as well as the mental nature. One need only apply to those who have had training- in this department for testimony concerning- the numerous advantages offered. Erect carriage, habits of obedience, gracefulness, self-control, concentration of mind and crystallized patriotism are a few of the benefits derived. First Lieutenant Charles Gerhardt, of the Eighth U. S. infantry, has been detailed by the war depart- ment to give military instruction. The course includes practical drill in the infantry exercises, target prac- tice, military camp, etc., and theoretical instruction in the elementary principles of war. The company is supplied by the Government with the regular army equipments, including rifles, ammu- nition and targets. iKKK ' KK ' S MILITARY COMPANY. ROSTER. First Lieutenant, Keathly, R. L..

The advantages of the Moot system is that it not only indoctrinates the student in the elementary principles of law, but trains him in the discussion of facts, and develops that tact so necessarily important in real practice. The year 1894- ' 95 marks a period in the history of this organization, unusually successful. Scores of young- men are taking an active interest in the work of this body; and, as they fall out and enter the bar of real court practice, they enlist self-confidence, self-reliance, and a sufficiency of knowledge of practical views to enable them, at once, to make a name, and, bye and bve, with an easv stride, to take a place among the leading lights of the legal profession.

Waiters t Y VfTf HAT is now known as Divinity Hall was once the property of Abram Caruthers, and was pur- LJ . chased for the use of the Law School. But the buildings were never used for this purpose and the Trustees gave the property to the College of Arts. The title was finally bought by the Theological School which to-day owns it. The purpose of the Club is to furnish a comfortable home for young men studying for the ministry. It is housed in four buildings situated on a beautiful knoll in a nice campus. A lovely view can be obtained from these buildings. It is, moreover, a very healthful site. The recitation rooms of the Theological Seminary, which occupy part of the main building, will be moved next session to the new University building. In addition to being the seat of the Theological Department, it has three dormitories containing twen- ty-one rooms for the use of the young men who board there. Efforts are now being made to have the rooms refurnished and made as home-like as possible. The board is remarkably cheap, the average cost per month for the last year being a little more than six dollars. It is needless to say that the most pleasant associations to be found anywhere are found at Divinity Hall. —141— DIVINITY HALL CLUB. ■ ' ■ ' ' ' ■■ ' • ' ' ' ■ 1 v , :%jMJi% THE NEW UNIVERSITY BUILDING. —144- GLEE CLUB.

I walked listening- to the notes of birds and smelling the odor of myriads of blossoms. A million dewdrops shone like so many diamonds. I was intoxi- cated with beauty. Nature whispered its happiest teaching-s. I approached a river with moss-grown banks. Near its brink stood a child. His countenance was open and bold, with no wealth of childish mirth bubbling up into expression, but a tinge of sadness that sweetened and dignified his whole being. Innocence and gentleness I saw in every feature. Locks of yellow hair hung- round his temples. A fond mother had arranged these curls, kissed her first born, let him play in the sunshine and steal away to the river. Here he was picking up the pebbles and tossing them into the shining- waters. Smiles played over his face — smiles that I see in memory now — as the ripples ran over the river. I loved the scene. Like my- self, the child seemed dreaming-. The oaks whose boughs sheltered his brow, the violets kissing- his feet, the moss that sometimes pillowed his curly head, and the wavelets that laughed to embrace his pebbles could not bring him perfect felicity. He breathed, Oh, that I were a man. In my dreaming-, years passed in a moment. I walked b} ' the beautifully furnished room of a student. In it I saw a youth, a model for an artist, who loves the ideal in physique. His face was open, his eyes as blue as the skies. Intellectuality sat on his forehead. I was filled with admiration. Before him was a beautiful parchment inscribed Excelsior. Studying- the young- Colleg-ian, I recognized the child I had seen on the river ' s brink. I started to greet him. but just then he lifted the picture of a sweet-faced girl with smiling eyes and raven locks, kissed it, and pressed it to his bosom. Tears filled his eyes as he sobbed, Nell, I love you still. When we played by the spring- and down at the mill I held your sweet hand and in- nocently gave away my heart. Your little face blushed so much that my heart bounded with happiness. I shall never forg-et the time I kissed you. Again you crimsoned. In memor} ' like a chain of diamonds pass the days of childhood. But ambition whispered: ' Here lies the price of your love. ' I curse the hour I was —159— tempted away. Thou art gone. Thy sweet spirit has been torn from me, yet I love you better than words can tell, love you as when you were whiter than the snow. My soul now holds thee as tenderly as the dew- drop the day, even though sin has robbed my life of its idol. Again he kissed the little picture and sat down and wept. Again I heard the sad words: Oh, that I were a man. I waked as the warm tears started from my eyes, and regretted that I could study this strange life no more. Once more I slept and dreamed. I was an aged minister in a great city. It was winter. I walked in my study, thinking on the vanity of the world and the hearts it had broken. I thought of those who work heaven ' s will in the school of suffering. A rap caused me to open my door when I found a man who asked me to visit a dying man at the Palace of Oaks. I seated myself on the plush cushion beside the man in the carriage to which I was invited. Arriving at the Palace I was ushered into a magnificent room. On a bed richly furnished was a man past the meridian of life. He, beckoning me to sit, turned upon me eyes I shall never forget. They were beautiful and undimmed by years. With a smile, he said: I am passing. lean see the lights of the summer clime. I can hear the wings of the shining ones. Watch a Christian die. I live for the ages. His eyes grew strangely bright as he asked: Do they marry in heaven? I answered, In heaven they do not marry but are as the angels. As if shined upon from beyond the stars he said: Then she will be free. Who ? I asked. At Beechwood is a little grave. Her name is on the marble slab. I loved her, as a child in youth, and all these years she has been my angel spirit guiding me. Place me be- side her in the church yard. Let this lie near my heart. And he drew a little picture from his bosom, kissed it and whispered, Nell. This word died on his lips for he had entered the gates of pearl. Then I knew him well. I had seen him on the silver river in childhood, watched the youth weep over a lost love, sat near him when his blue eyes closed to open in paradise and see his angel Nell. At a dream so strange I waked, and the morning had come, but it found me thinking, he is manliest who loves. LEBANON ' S PIRIIDEc Tramp, tramp, tramp! the marshaled host draws near.

One morning- early in the Spring My brother Ben and I Concluded we would work that goat — Or rather that we ' d try. Down in the barnyard by the spring An old oak tree once grew, There on this morn we found the goat All covered o ' er with dew. He rose and stretched as if to say, I think we ' ve met before, Then shook the cold dust from his feet And was himself on;2 m ore. My brother put the harness on, I held the veto power, The goat stood still with downcast eyes And visage grim and sour. We hitched him to our little sled. My brother held while I Laid on the chastening rod of love, To the tune Sweet Bye and Bye. I called to mind that well-worn text I ' d heard my father quote, Spare the rod and spoil the child, I would not spoil the goat. I saw that billy goat tur n ' round With calm, stern majesty, He raised his sad, wan face and fixed His brown, brown eyes on me, I thought my time had surely come, I heard a voice, it said, Prepare For a fierce onset from the goat, Beware, my boy. beware! J m ; s , ur A , Co VcL { oreWai. .We .. w Then billy from his mountain height Unfurled himself in air. Just raised my coat-tail from its place And put his hard, cold forehead there. ' Twas not alone a sing-le time. But many times again, He touched a tender spot on me With all his might and main. I saw a hundred thousand stars In every position, And when he ceased you well can see What was my sad condition. Should I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, I ' ll ne ' r forget that grim attack Of awful goat disease. The Glee Club ' s Last Appearance. HE Glee Club was upon the rostrum. Before their reach of vision, thousands sat with mouths wide open, waiting- to hear the first ' ' ting-a-ling of the mandolin, the first chord vibrate upon the guitar. The small boy grew still; the wind ceased to moan, and the pretty damsels closed their fans, daring not to stir. The leader glanced around at his faithful little band, who sat stolid and indifferent; but you could have seen twinkling in their eyes, a lovelier song than Sweet Marie, a livelier tune than Dixie. One young lady, who had a sweetheart in the club, whispered to her ma: They are all inspired. A fond mother breathed gently into her husband ' s ear: — is so handsome. I know the) ' all can play. The thousand people bent over further, determined that the first sweet strains should not be missed. The leader gave the signal-. Fourteen hands, fourteen inspired hands, fourteen handsome hands all moved, and so did the audience. Some one in the crowd pinned a cabbage head upon the coat of the leader. The guitarists each received an egg of untold age. The mandolin pickers were saved from the wreck — these highly perfumed cats of the mewing species. The banjo picker found himsalf placed upon ths top of the chan- dalier, playing the club ' s favorite, Won ' t you be nry sweetheart, the tune that caused the catastrophe. Three died of broken hearts; four never smiled again; two pawned their instruments and five got married. May they pick and ting-, May they play and sing-, Sometime, but now! oh, never; For the eggs are all out And the cats have taken route, And my sweetheart is really not clever.

Further on the bridge you pass, Beneath, the babbling brook; Beyond, the fields of waving grass Whence conies the caw of rook. The browsing herd on flowered mead, The sandy paths that winding lead To where the careless smaller fry Bait their hooks for goggle-eye.

Ah! niem ' ries tome forever sweet — Driving out old West Main Street. To pass or not to pass — that is the question; Whether ' tis better with the niind to study The books and problems of unfeeling teachers. Or to hit the ceiling- with a dreadful thud. And by opposing- smash through? To miss — to bust ' No more; and by a bust to say we end The headache, and a million dread nightmares School boys are heir to; ' tis a consummation Profanely to be wished: To fail — to bust To bust — perhaps wide open. A3 ' , there ' s the rub; For in that bust of ours what ghosts may come, When we have put aside these student garbs, To haunt our lives; there ' s the respect That plays the dickens in the school-boy ' s life: For who would bear the knocks and bumps of school, The professor ' s frowns, the best man ' s ostentations. The impudence of freshmen, and the quizzes That wicked juniors ask a senior grave. When he himself might his departure take Without his sh eepskin? Who ' d these troubles bear But that the dread of something next school year. The often traversed pathway o ' er whose stones So many students fall — sure cooks our goose, And makes us trembling face the music now Than dance to other that we know well of? This passing scares the mischief out of all, And examinations sure both tough and long Fan us in the first action. Trip to Pike ' s Peako mm Bay; O, wise faculty! and O, wiser students! I much rejoice to pen it, The session days, in which you lived in clover Are gone and over. Gone are the fellows large and little. Gone are the shaving ' s that they whittle; Gone are the ladies, short and tall. Who crowded Caruthers Hall. Gone, too, the Greeks and Barbarians who sw In secret session and perforin Feats of the ring, Unequaled elsewhere and quite the thing.

Think what wind and muscle were expended; What ball teams played us and bad defended; What legs and heads were broken, marred and mended Before the session ended. With common sense I wouldn ' t be at war, That session days must come, it needs must be, (And go, thank Heaven!) but when I see Your ways and means and what you be, I think of the words, which on a time, a person said: If you ' d enjoy, quoth he, your ginger-bread. ■ Or sip your sweetened coffee with delight, Of sugar making, pray avoid the sight.

Y X HE present writer, during; his last exploring tour in the Dark Continent, had the good fortune to meet with a tribe •f hitherto unvisited, whose customs are in all respects peculiar and interesting-. They are known among- themselves as the Nigodarki, and inhabit a larg-e tract of country lying- in the intemperate zone. It is my purpose to describe an institu- tion maintained by them, whose like is to be found among - no other people, civilized or savage, although it perhaps bears a grotesque and distant likeness to some of the universities or colleges found in Christian countries. When the Nig-odarki youth has passed through the schools conducted by the wise men of every village, he is allowed to depart, at a fixed season, about the beginning- of March, for the village of Imalulu, where is carried on what is called, in the native language, the Hiup Hedswell Faktre. This title may perhaps be best translated, the University of South Africa. On his way to Imalulu, however, the intending student is in danger of having his journey interrupted. It is the custom of the students of some months or years connection with the Faktre to divide into bands of from four to twenty-five, and lie in wait beside the path through the jungle. Should any youth pass by whose bushy hair and protruding lips indicate nobility of birth, or whose attendants bear with them a larger number than usual of elephant ' s tusks (the current money of the country), he is set upon by several of these bands at once, and ultimately falling a prey to the strongest of them, is borne away into the forest by paths known only to his captors. He is kept a prisoner until he has submitted to certain cere- monies, the nature of which can only be guessed at, and then becomes a member of the band whose captive he was. He is given a peculiar emblem, such as a carved cocoanut shell, a dried snake skin, or a rhinocerous tooth, and is required to induce some one of the younger women of the village to wear it during his connection with the Faktre. The Faktre itself occupies a number of the largest huts in different parts of the village. All but one of these are set apart exclusively for the men and boys among the students, and women strictly forbidden from entering them. A like prohibi- tion is laid upon the male students in the case of the remaining hut, one of the largest of all, where the female students are collected. This hut is surrounded by a hedge of the thorny cactus, or Rula Inflcxibila of science, intended to prevent the approach of those forbidden. The studies pursued in the Faktre embrace every branch of knowledge to which the Nigodarki have yet attained. The art of trying cases and settling ' disputes is a subject of study with many who come together regularly, four times in every moon, for the purpose of practicing themselves in disputes, and deciding them by an appeal either to argument or to force. There is also a school of priests who dwell together, and are famed for their enormous appetites, and for their mildness of disposition. They are much revered by the people, with whom they seldom mingle on familiar terms. They are often known, however, to look with favor upon the maidens of the village, and sometimes even take wives from among their number. Many interesting customs as strange as the above must be passed over, in order that we may describe the ceremonies which attend the annual close of the Faktre for its vacation. These ceremonies take place early in December of every year, soon after the beginning of the rainy season, and are known in the native tongue as the Bibi Faktre, meaning Farewell to the University. Several days of feasting begin the ceremonies, during ' which days the wise men who act as teachers select from among the students those whom the} ' think it vain to make further attempts to instruct, being fully persuaded of their irremediable stupidity. On the morning of the last day, these students, to the number of about sixty, with their teachers, repair to the jungle, returning after an hour, clothed in their garments of state. Each man is wrapped in the well-tanned hide of a cow, the hair side outward, and the tail dragging proudly in the dust; while the animal ' s skull, polished and shin- ing, surmounts his head. Every student in the procession also drives before him a sheep. The populace set up a loud and peculiar cry, and follow to the center of the village, where the sheep are solemnly slain, and a hide given to each man, as an emblem of his innocence of learning, while the quivering flesh is roasted for a final feast. This over, every man surrenders five tusks of ivory to the authorities of the Faktre, and is then escorted from the village amid great joy. Thus ends the year ' s work of this great institution. —173— )®ffl@aittlh €©!©§ I wander out beneath the stars; Calm, and serene, they speak of rest.

EDITORIALETS. THE COLLEGE YEAR. •fTT is pleasant to take a retrospect. When the explorer has reached the mountain top it is sweet to look ' ' ' back to the little vine under which he rested, the rock over which he climbed with difficulty, and down to the base of the mountain from which he started with the summit in view. The Phcenix, looking back from the last month of school, over the nine that have slipped away so rapidly, finds that the college year is much like the period of human life, it has its sunny and its rainy days. The year that is now burning low has more of the happy than the unhappy, however, for students and professors. Among the former has been a great enthusiasm for their work, a manly and friendly bearing in their associations with each other, and a college pride that has responded nobly to several new enterprises in the University. The professors in all departments have been a unit in their efforts for, and devotion to, the advancement of their pupils. There have been discouragements, at times, for both teachers and students, but as each makes a review and writes finis at the close of the year ' s work the college year of ' 94, and ' 95, seems to be filled with myriads of recollections of work and associations that will live with him. ' MEMORIAL HALL. CUMBERLAND University has won its way to the hearts of the intellectual, not by the magnificence of its buildings, but by the character of its men and work. Buildings no more make a school than clothes make a man, but as a man must have clothes so must a school have buildings. The friends of the Univer- sity have long hoped for the completion of a building that would be ample, beautiful, and inviting. Their hopes will early be realized. The massive structure that will be the pride of its friends. The Alma —178— Mater of possible thousands is now under roof, and promises to be one of the most imposing and complete building ' s in the countr} ' . It stands on a lovely plot of ground, and looked at from any point in Lebanon it appears as a city set on a hill that cannot be hid. The graduate students regret that they go not forth from its great walls, but they shower congratulations upon classes that come after them. May the new building early open to the youth of the land and be the mother of hundreds of scholars as the old ones have been. The new will reflect the glory of old Cumberland beautifully. THE NEW PROFESSORS. ' 7THIS year has been the annus mirabilis in the history of the University. Work on the new building pro- gressed rapidly, the course in the Theological department was made three years instead of two, and six new instructors have been added to the faculty of the institution. Prof. Laban L. Rice, Ph.D., a young man of brilliant mind and scholarly attainments, has taught his first year as Professor of English, and given eminent satisfaction. Prof. Benjamin S. Foster, A.M., is now a regular teacher of Latin and Greek, and has won a warm place in the hearts of his pupils. Rev. Winstead P. Bone, A.M., and the Rev. J. V. Stephens, A.B., have been installed professors in the Theological Seminary, and have done good work. Professor Bone, as a teacher of the minutaj of Hebrew, has given his pupils the finest instruction in this difficult language. His classes in New Testament Greek also have done good work. Prof. Stephens, in- structor in Sacred History and Presbyterian Law, has shown his acquaintance with these subjects, and his first year ' s success promises much for his department in the future. Rev. Finis K. Farr, professor elect in Hebrew, now in the University of Chicago, will assume his duties at the next opening. Prof. Harry Gran- nis, an experienced instructor, has been added to the teachers in the Preparatory School. These are all young men and come into their chairs well equipped for their positions. These additions to the faculty of the University will strengthen the school with the church, offer the best advantages to the earnest students! and will doubtless receive the approval of the public. THE GLEE CLUB. TUMBERLAND University has a Glee Club of which it is exceedingly proud. The school has long felt the need of such an organization, and that it now has it, is a cause of rejoicing for both professors and students. The club is composed of some of the best and brightest boys in the University, and every —179— time they appear before the public they are received with applause. At the medal contests and entertain- ments of the Literary Societies during- the year, the Glee Club has been one of the most attractive features. The public has appreciated the efforts of the students to entertain it with the latest and best music, and right richly have the boys of the club merited the kind receptions given them by every audience before which they have performed. The club has not reached perfection the first year, but it is making- strides to- wards the happiest success. Hurrah for the Glee Club. THE SHAKESPEARE CLUB. TTfE master poet finds many earnest students of his wisdom among the pupils of this University, and the citizens of the City of Cedars. Two years ago a reading club was formed. It had neither officer nor constitution. It had no admission fee, nor list of members. That reading club has been a factor in the literary life of its promotors. Last year Tennyson was studied, but all of this scholastic year has been given to the immortal Shakespeare. After having read the play in a public meeting- of the club, parties appointed to study the principal characters are given the fullest freedom to discuss the merits of their characters, and thus not only a study of the poetry encouraged, but the stud} ' of men and women for which Shakespeare is noted. The social features of the club are attractive. On several occasions during the year the Club has been invited to spend evenings with some of its friends, where the most delightful hours were spent in games and Shakespearean questionings and readings. Many of the students have taken advantage of these opportunities for literary and social improvement. V. M. C. A. |KJ O orga nization in the University has a nobler history or more beautiful mission than the Y. M. C. A. II Without parade it goes quietly on influencing the life of the students, and bringing them to see that there are powers in the soul that need development along with the intellectual faculties. This college year has been a happy one for the Association. Its officers have been earnest, conscientious young men who have made every ' effort to reach the young men in all departments of the University. Through the labors of its members numbers of the students were reached during revivals and led to become Christians. The efforts made to establish a reading room that would be open to students and young men every evening, has me with encouragement. Many of the leading periodicals have been purchased, and make weekly and monthly visits to the Y. M. C. A. room. This will be hailed with delight by the friends of Cumberland University —ISO— who should give the Association every support possible. When the new building- is finished, and the Asso- ciation moves into new and better rooms, it must have a reading- room with every advantage that can be offered. Liberal men can find no better investment for their money than in the Y. M. C. A., for he who helps this organization helps the young men of the world. The college Y. M. C. A. touches the intellectual world, and therefore should be the best endowed for its divine mission. ATHLETICS. CUMBERLAND University knows that it must develop its young- men physically, if they would be athletes in the intellectual and moral world. For years it has had one of the strong- colleg-e base ball teams of the South. It has won man} ' hotly contested g-ames, and to keep its opponents from g-etting- dis- couraged, yielded some. It has now a team in training, that promises to win laurels for the green, white, and blue. It has also a foot ball team. Foot ball is a new game for the University. It was never played before this year, but with no coach, and but little practice, with men who were novices at the game, our team lost but one out of its three contests with colleges in the State. This game promises to rival base ball, which has been so popular with our students and the citizens of Lebanon. The University has taken a number of prizes in its contests with colleges at annual field-day exercises. What it wants now is a field-day of its own, second to none. Last year saw its debut in this enterprise, and it is hoped that it may enlist more of the students each year, and place the athletics of the University on an average with the standing of the school in the work of intellectual training. When the new University building is finished we will have a gymnasium in keeping with the times, that will be the pride of the athletes. The room will be large, adapted and fitted up in the most improved manner. There is coming a sunnier day for athletics in Cum- berland University. THE LIBRARY. ' TT ' HE University Library is now open every day. Heretofore it has been open but three days in the week. VV- Through the sacrifices of Rev. J. M. Hubbert and W. P. Bone the young men now have the opportun- ity of spending their hours among the treasures of books collected in the University Library. This is a rare privilege. The well selected books of the sainted Dr. Beard; the classic love of the scholarly Dr. Murdock, with the rich volumes from the great minds in all ages invite the earnest student to search their pages. Not only books meet the pupil here, but the very best papers and monthlies of the country are found on the shelves and tables to attract the reader. More of the young men have frequented the Library this year than during —181— other years, but the number is not large enough yet. There is a wealth of wisdom in books, and he who finds it is richer far than he who finds gold. There is no reason why the Library should not be filled with young men anxious to pick up the nuggets of wisdom buried in the volumes there. The teachers are en- couraging original research more, and more, and this is leading the student to drink from the sources of knowledge rather than from the fickle streams. Cumberland University Library contains thousands of val- uable books, but there is want in one department at least. The last quarter of a century has been fruitful in its productions of books. The Scriptures have been the subject of myriads of writings. Thousands of volumes have been written on Introduction, The Text, Criticism and kindred topics which are in- valuable aids to the modern investigator. These books are beyond the reach of the student of moderate means. They should be found in our Library shelves, and offered with their funds of information to the pupil. When some man of means invests a few thousand dollars in books of the century, in all the depart- ments of science, he will have conferred a benefaction upon the University ' , and written his name in the hearts of students of the coming generations. IN CONCLUSION. TTHE Editors of the Phcenix are conscious of the imperfections in their work, but they present it to the VJf friends of the University, trusting that in the future other editorial boards may issue an annual that will honor the institution. The present editors have been without a precedent. The Phcenix is our maiden effort in bookmaking, and the first annual ever issued by the University. We have no apology, but we promise a better book in the future. In greeting the students the editors lift their hats and make their politest bow for the co-operation and steady support given b} ' them. The faculty of the University and the Annex have responded nobly and given every encouragement, and we proudly acknowledge this in this final page from the editors. In the board has been the greatest enthusiasm and unity. Each man has felt called by his fellow students to make the Phcenix a success. Each one has done what he could. It must be re- membered, that the board was organized in March of the present school year, and that it has not had time to do the work necessary to make the happiest success of the Phcenix. To have given our friends an annual, beautiful fro m a literary and artistic standpoint, we should have been selected for the work near the opening of the college year. This would have allowed time for selecting the choicest gems of thought and given the illustration committee the advantage of time necessary for the best work. In the matter of illustrations in the present Phcenix, the untiring efforts of Prof. S. H. Landrum are acknowledged. The pages before each department, from the University Progress — sketched by Mr. John E. Hail, are also appreciated. We send the Phcenix forth trusting that at its reception there shall rise, Phcenix-like, in the minds of its friends sweet memories, and the noblest, tenderest affections for the University as it passes from the old to the new buildings. —182— KEA K VIEW OF THE NEW UNIVERSITY BUILDIKG.
