' TT ' HIS is the Semi-Centennial year of the Law School of the University. Fifty years ago it began its i work with only seven students present. At that time no provision had been made in the college build- ing for this class, and the school was for a time conducted in the law office of Judge Robert L. Caruthers, on West Main Street. The office was made of brick and stood near the street in the corner of the residence lot. It had two rooms, the front one being about sixteen feet square, and in this the recitations were con- ducted. The rear and much smaller room contained Judge Caruthers ' law library, desk, etc. The old office disappeared many years ago, but the grand old residence still remains to mark the birth place of the law school. Judge Abraham Caruthers, a younger brother of Judge Robeit L., was the first law professor, and he had charge of the first class of seven. He resigned from the bench as a circuit judge to accept the place. The idea of a law school at that date was a new one in this part of the country. It originated with Judge Robert L. Caruthers, and the credit of setting it on foot is due to him. His brother Abraham did not have the greatest faith in the success of the enterprise and hesitated to resign from the bench where he was receiving an annual salary of fourteen hundred dollars and take the chances of the new enterprise. But this obstacle was removed by Judge Robert L. undertaking to guarantee that the income from the law school should not be less than a judge ' s salary. No part oi the guaianty fund was ever called for, for the reason that the school at once proved a success. Before the first five months had ended the number of students greatly increased, and the income from the year ' s work largely exceeded the sum guaranteed. In the course of a few years the school increased to such proportions that it became necessary to elect an addi- tional professor, and accordingly Judge Nathan Green, the father of the present Chancellor, was chosen. He was at the time, and had been for man} ' years, on the Supreme Bench of the Statt, but he resigned the office to accept the professorship. These two great men continued in their several places until the close of their lives. Judge Abraham Caruthers died during the first months of the civil war, and Judge Green within a year after its close. The writer of this received his instruction in law from these two venerable fathers, and he has in his mind a vivid picture of the personnel oi each, and a distinct recollection of their several peculiarities in the class room. Judge Caruthers was small of stature, small boned and light weight. He usually dressed in black or dark colors, and though always genteely clad, it was evident that he gave but little attention to the cut, fit or style of his garments. In walking he stooped, with his eyes upon the ground, and moved noiselessly and quite slowly, thus presenting the picture of one in profound meditation ; and this was doubtless the habit of his mind. One could pass him again and again on the street without anything more than casual observation, unless he happened to look up and one caught the glance of his eyes, which were truly startling for their brilliancy. When animated in conversation or in — 3 — JUDGE CARUTHERS ' HOME. — 4 — the class room his face became almost radiant and remarkably handsome. He was somewhat of a discipli- narian in the cUss room, and kept the young men constantly under his eye. He adhered rigidly to the lesson assigned for the dav. examined the class thoroughly upon it, and if one came without having pre- pared it he was sure to wish he had done so before the recitation closed. He had the tobacco habit and both smoked and chewed- His smoking was all done at home and usually with a cob pipe and long stem. His voice was thin, though not effeminate. It arrested the attention at once, and impressed one as the voice of a man in authority and of positive views. He had an irascible temper, was easily ruffled, impatient under restraint, and fearless of opposition. He was a man of the highest intellectu- ality and profound knowledge of the law. Judge Green was the opposite of his associate in almost everything excepting the high qualities of intellectuality and legal lore, in which particulars he was the equal of any man who ever lived in the State, a fact too well known to need any further remarks here. In stature he stood six feet five in his stockings, was raw baned, loose jointed and ungainly. This is said with the profoundest respect and reverence for his memory. Such physical characteristics did not prevent him from being one of the greatest and noblest men of his age. He was not so good looking as is his honored son, the Chancellor of the University, but even that in no way embarrassed him. His appearance was most venerable, his hair, usually worn long, was white as wool, a massive pair of gold rimmed spectacles always rested on his nose, his stride was immense, his step lumbering, and his voice the roar of a lion; impetuous, compassionate and full of charity, he loved everything from the humblest flower in his garden up to his brother man. The writer has often likened him to the Apostle Peter, that is to the picture which the writer has formed in his own mind of that bold and impetuous follower of Christ. He thundered in the class room, did not adhere so closely as Judge Caruthers to the lesson in hand, but grew often on the vast store of learning that crowded his brain, and from this deep well the students delighted to drink. God bless the memory of these two honored and revered fathers, to the old boys who were so fortunate as to have received instruction from them. They set the Law School upon the enduring foundation, as its continued prosperity attests, and it can now be truthfully said no other school of this country within the first half century of its existence has fur- nished the profession a more honorable and worthy body of graduates than has this one. All horor to the memory of Caruthers and Green. OUR CENTENNIAL EXHIBIT. ♦|K| O institution in the Southern States has made a greater impression or produced more noted men than Cumberland University. They are in the prominent pulpits, presidents and professors in colleges, able lawyers, great judges of Federal and State courts, members of Congress — in the House and Senate— and governors of States. And all this has been done within fifty-five years. To show the world what the Cumberland University is and what it has done, the faculty have secured a space in the Centennial grounds at Nashville in the Education Building. The space allotted is small, the demand from all quarters being so great that the Committee could give us no more. In this space a structure has been erected — nine by sixteen feet. The posts and railing are of cedar — Lebanon ' s specialty as to wood. The floor is carpeted neatly, and the walls and roof draped and festooned with our college colors: the Blue, White and Green. On the walls are great frames containing the photo- graphs of something less than one hundred noted men who have been educated in the University, and also groups of the students in the different departments who were in attendance in May, 1897. The College boys, the Law boys, the Theologians, the Soldiers with their guns, and the sweet girls of the Annex, are all there grouped around the Faculty. Then there are five pictures of the University buildings. One can see the old brick church in which Cumberland University was organized in 1842, as well as the mao-nificent Memorial Hall just erected, also the Preparatory Building, Divinity Hall, Corona Hall, and Caruthers Hall, and the Annex Building. Our exhibit has large paintings of the founders of the different departments — Robert L. Caruthers, Abraham Caruthers, Dr. Richard Beard, President T. C. Anderson, Dr. F. R. Cossett, Dr. S. G. Burney and the elder Judge Nathan Green. Our exhibit will be kept by a bright and pretty Tennessee girl, who will explain it to many thousands. May 12, 1897 Theological School closes.

HT sometime in life every man has a dream of ambition ; it may be clothed in the sloth of habit, or hidden under the preiense of humility, but you may be sure of its coining- sooner or later. The adventurous Goddess called Ambition, whose dower is Fame, will to some extent toy with every youthful heart. As Time in his flight carries me back to review the four years just elapsed, my attention is attracted to four ambitious, self-con fident young Freshmen; I say four, because they are the only survivors of the perilous, and too frequently fatal ex- aminations that college students have to encounter. Three of these pioneers are sons of the dear old volunteer State of Tennessee; the other is from the sister State of Kentucky; two of the three Tennesseans are natives of the classic town of Lebanon, the other is from among- the pious inhabitants in the town of Duplex; one of the two Lebanonites is the youngest son of a sweet-spirited Theological Professor, now deceased; the other is a nephew of an eminent Professsor in the Law School. Kirkpatrick and Williamson have begun to get a glimpse of the profession of law, of which they hope to become masters, while Padgett and Graves have their minds fixed upon the sacred ministry. No one perhaps has higher hopes of a student when he first enters college than he himself, and these four were not an exception to the rule. We entered, indeed with a double portion of self-assurance and a look as wise as a sage, but alas, how soon was our pride humbled when confronted and overcome by the monstrous Deupie ' s Algebra. Besides this Greek and Latin roots began to entangle our weary feet until it seemed that we must, like others, forsake the uneven path.and give up the race. At length patience wins, and just as truth crushed to earth will rise again so this unfortunate qua- ternion rises to renew strength from time to time and after ten months sweating and fretting hears the hallowed words Enter ihou into the Sophomore Class. Here our number is increased by four. I see them now, as they enter our class, Horton, from Athens Ala., a city whose very name bespeaks a classic inspiration, and Pinkerton a graduate from the unrivaled Wall and Mooney Training School. 11 We look with astonishment upon this classic spirit, as he reads Horace and Medea with such ease and fluency- It needs no prophet to see that these two gentlemen have the goal of their ambition fixed in the professorship of some Greek and Latin school. Not to omit the other two I must mention Waterhouse and Dickey. The former a graduate of the Chattanooga High School and a citizen of that city of scenery. His calling is to be a teacher of science and his fertile mind directs its force in a special manner upon that branch. His faithful service has also awarded him military honor. — 27 — This year closes with eight students looking- forward for advancement. Some have record for faithful service; others for lack of faithful service. Here we are upon the threshold of the Junior Year. We shudder at the thoug-ht Junior for as many who have gone before, tell us of the much dreaded Professor Buck and his calculus, and assure us a reception as cold as the climate of Siberia; they tell us that this is the Slough of Despond over which few can ever hope to pass. Having put hand to plow, however we venture to stem the tide. But we are not the only ones to try the realities of the dreaded work ; four new members have joined the ranks. Dickey hails from West Tennessee. His serious manner and studious habits, despite his extreme youth soon tell that he means to succeed not only as a student in college, but also in his chosen profession as a lawyer. I pause with a spirit of reverence, as I mention the first one by name David Owen, or better known as the Immortal David, because he is said to have nine lives. His placid face first saw the light of day in the mountains of East Ten- nessee; as a student his record is above reproach, and his daily actions are far from proving him recreant to his sacred call- ing as a minister. The second of this number, who is also a potential preacher is Molloy, or more familiarly called Molly. His characteristicis never. He never gets despondent — never makes a failure in calculus, never fails to smile at the Col- lege girls — and never fails to greet the passerby with Good morning to you ! and in parting extend the invitation to Come to see me sometime. His home is in Spring Hill, Tenn. His year ' s grade in mathematics is perfect. This leaves to be mentioned two more Juniors, viz: Sullivan of Leeville, Tenn., commonly called John L., and Walker from Plevna, Ala. The former denotes strength the latter motion ; the two elements that will characterize their work as successful educators. Junior year closes and twelve candidates stand ready to make the final charge. Thompson and Holder must be added to this number, which completes the list. Thompson from the University of Texas is looking to the ministry; Holder, a graduate of Bethel College, has chosen to be a lawyer. The diligence of these gentlemen will always welcome them to a place of honor and esteem. We are now in full view of the end which four years ago was barely visible through the clouded future. The eventful epoch so soon to occur in our lives agitates us more and more as it approaches. We wonder what the future has in store for us ; sometimes our thoughts call to mind a fair one and it seems so natural to associate her with the future, her con- versation delights us by its piquancy and grace more than ever. But see, we are there. The dream of this closing year is quite realized, we have been looking eagerly for its coming, but now that it is at hand we are half unwilling to welcome it. We have met and received the degrees for which we are unspeakably proud; and now as the last night is waning, we wander for a last look at the old school walls tnat have made for us so long a home. Old broken expectancy, days of glee, triumphs, rivalries, defeats and friendships, are recalled with a fluttering of the heart, that pride cannot wholly subdue. We stand on the stone step on the evening of the last day and think of the dim life which opens wide and long, from the morrow. From the train with one more yearning look we gaze at the old school building, one house after another vanishes out of sight, and then like a broken hope the old building has faded from our view. junior Class.

IFT IS highly probable that no class since the founding- of our cherished Alma Mater, in 1847, has been more punctual, or better prepared for recitations than the class of ' 97 which was organized the seventh of September, 18%. This class was noted for its congeniality until the late unpleasantness created in class elections. We have thoroughly developed two distinct factions, and as many Mark Hannas. Some of the class are so ambitious to be thought learned, that on every opportune occasion they use words of resounding length with which to adorn their labored lucubrations and make the ignorami wonder how one small head can hold so much. While the law class as a whole has been studious, and each member has acquitted himself with honor, the higher heights are enchanting in the distance, but rugged and precipitous the route. The struggle is fierce and unceasing— the struggle to get above that station in life to which it has pleased God to call us; and to make ourselves anJ others believe it is our normal plane, is the avenging Nemesis that pursues. New responsibilities require new efforts. The garlands and trophies now in one place soon fade, and are forgot- ten when entrance is made upon a new field of activity. We should not be led on by the delusion of the hope that our efforts shall cease with our university course, for on the rostrum of future life we shall be measured by the standard of those with whom we com- pete, and may it never be the sad fate of any member of this class, though he should be called to the Senate of the United States, to stand as a pigmy in the shadow of Colossus. May we ever pursue what we conceive to be right, indifferent alike to the allurements of reward or he terrors of reproach. u n i or Ch ass. Officers. President .. .WALTER WILKINS Vice President E.

Its success has been gratifying beyond the most sanguine ex- pectation. During the eleven years of its existence, the college has educated, in whole or in part, over fifteen hundred young women, one hundred and fifty having taken degrees. The work accomplished has been of a high character. 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 assistants, 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 faculty to make it. The members of the faculty, for intellectuality and broad scholarship, are known throughout the land. The Annex is not a finishing school, but a school in which young ladies may acquire that knowl- edge which is essential to right living. There are more expensive schools and a great many that are cheaper, but we insist that when those things are considered that enter vitally into the education of a young woman, no school is superior. We invite the most critical comparison. Our pupils have every possible home com- fort and attention. Our buildings are of brick, commodious, well lighted, heated and ventilated, and we have ample grounds for outdoor exercise. Realizing that houses and grounds do not educate, we have laid the greater stress upon the internal equipment. We do not seek to give the finest but the best. The impress of the teacher upon the pupil ' s mind and character will remain through life whatever else may be lost. We have spared no pains to this end: that those under whose personal influence our pupils must fall shall be irreproachable men and women with the highest ideals of life. In addition to the Literary Course the best facilities are furnished for the study of Music, Art, Elocu- tion, Stenography and Bookkeeping. — 55 — SENIOR CLASS. OFFICERS.

The end has come, our work is done, We part now from these classic halls, Tis true real life has just begun, And space is yet on mem ' ries walls. II. Now we ' re filled with joy and gladness- Yet strong ties we soon must sever, And O! we feel a pang of sadness, For some farewells may be forever. III. We ' ve e ' er been happy in this place, With our hearts all joined as one, But other spots we soon will grace, And that is where IV. ve ' ll j Of many things we ' ve some knowledge. Which in this space I ' ll not give name, But we ' ve won honors in this college, Honors, that will bring us great fame. V. No more we ' ll hear the Chapel bell, Unless it be in mem ' ry ' s dream. For we will roam a distant dell, Where How the waters of life ' s stream. XI. VI. Some day we hope to wander back, To view these scenes of early joy, But in our hearts we ' ll feel the lack Of that which time ' s flow will alloy. VII. So teachers kind, to you farewell, You who have taught the doubts defian And this we ' ll e ' er with true hearts tell, In you we ' ve ever placed reliance. VIII. To us you ' ve taught the way of truth, While we ' ve turned the classic page, And all these lessons of our youth Will bless us when we ' re old with age. IX. We ' ve learn ' d of music, poetry, arts, While in these halls of C. U. A., And now a pain has near ' d our hearts, Since we have near ' d the closing day. X. And classmates all, to you adieu, Amid these gay and festive times, For you will soon pass from our view, To seek your homes in distant climes. vnd now we say jam satis est, When we lay our books aside, tnd we will always do our best, And ever will in God confide. — 60 — PROPHECY. . . ®N a bright, beautiful afternoon I wander through the Campus of the University, thinking of Commencement, which is soon to bring us to the close of our school work. Thence I saunter into the flower garden of the Annex with my mind busy upon the interesting class of ' 97. As I enter the gate, to my right is a row of stately sunflowers, which represent to me our worthy instructors, who have carefully and patiently performed their duties, and whom we will ever hold in grateful remembrance Gazing before me at the plot of ground, I notice the number and variety of beautiful flowers, which seem to have an expression of countenance — some of which seem to smile, some to have a sad expression, some to be pensive and dif- fident, others again to be plain, honest and upright. I observe, first, two pansies which seem to cling very closely together. After a steadv gaze they are transformed inio two blushing maidens: One, our fair President, my prophetic imagination tells me, will be the joy and light of her father ' s home for awhile, where she will attract many by her sweet voice; but I see how a musician will attract her, and she will some day make her home in the broad prairies of Texas. I see the other, our Poet, making a successful debut, after which she will continue her lessons in music, and often you will hear of the appre- ciation of an audience for her music on the bass viol. Her future will be as bright and as happy as her present. My glance next at a climbing rose suggests to me a lovely girl from Alabama. I see her winding her way, onward and . upward, ' in pursuit of knowledge, until finally she will grace the chair as presiding teacher in a noted seminary. Now I see the Lily of the class, as she returns to her home in Alabama, but only for a while; for soon she will go westward to reign supreme in the home of another. The next that meets my gaze is the modest, white violet, which presents to me our pure, sweet Secretary. Her modest virtue leads me to see that, after some months of study, she will be a writer of short stories, probably a second Octave Thanet. Before me now is a thrifty, spreading geranium, with two luxuriant red blossoms very near each other, which suggest to my mind the two sisters from the Blue Grass State, who always seem so- close and dear to each other While I think of their lovable, sweet dispositions, I see one as she adorns her home, making her circle of chosen friends bright and hap- py. Her quiet nature prevents me from seeing further. The other returns to her home for a short time, during which she will study to prepare herself for a teacher in the primary department of a well-known college. Here is a pretty pink carnation, which recalls to me another girl from the Blue Grass State. Along with her col- lege course for the past year she has had a special instructor in pharmacy, but I see her as she ceases to make that her. study; for soon she will enter upon the practice of medicine, and in a few years she will he equal to Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. - In the center of the garden, just beyond me, is a silvery fountain, with beautiful water-lilies peeping through the spray. I admire a small one most, because it reminds me of a Tennessee girl from Baird ' s Mill. She will soon make her d£but, and will be the sunshine of her home and admired by many. In time she will become tired of this, and her life will seem dark and gloomv. but suddenly there will come a Ray of sunshine, and all will be bright and joyous. Then she will take her flight to the Lone Star State to reign supreme in the home of a lawyer, a graduate of Cumberland University. , As I gaze upon the graceful fuchsia, with its modest head meekly bending with the Fimiff look of a lovely face, the sweet girl from Hickman County, Tenn., is brought before me. I see her in the mathematical room as instructor in the working- of many problems. In her same positive manner she will go through life — sure of success. Often she will feel discouraged; but she will never give up, for what she determines to do, she does. She will be well known as a mathema- tician, but afterwards, she will go to Kentucky to be presiding genius in the home of a wealthy farmer. A rosebush, with many lovely pink blossoms, presents itself to my view, which recalls the number of our Texas girls. First, I see the bright, sweet girl whom we designate as Chap, making her d£but. For seasons she will be much admired by all and wooed by many suitors, until finally, she will decide to become the silent partner of a mercantile firm. I next see a little rosebud, which recalls to my mind our graceful little Vice President. I see her returning to her home after graduation for a short time only; for soon she will go to Vassar, for astronomical studies. I imagine her, like Caroline Herschel, sweeping her telescope athwart the heavens in search of wandering comets, or winging her flight with Mary Proctor through the upper air, and viewing with her the flowers of the sky, with their red, blue, green, or yellow lights, till we are lost in wonder and admiration at the marvelous attainments of our gifted sisters. I notice a modest little pink rosebud, just unfolding its petals, which reminds me -of another one of our number just blooming into womanhood. My imagination tells me that she will be a neat little housewife in a home in Southern Texas, and will be a blessing to all of her associates. A woman could hold no higher position. As I look again and see another rose, not quite full blown, it is transformed into another maid of Texas. I fancy her, after years of study, a philosopher, a Hypatia of this day; I see her surrounded by those who look to her for guidance in the higher realms of thought. The purity and loveliness of the jessamine, which is near me, reminds me of the pure sacrificing nature of our Histo- rian. I see her, with the courage of a soldier, leaving her home and friends to go into heathen lands, obeying the command of our Saviour: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Passing on, Tennessee ' s native plant, the beautiful laurel, attracts my attention. Its exquisite pink flowers bring to my mind the quiet girl from East Tennessee, where every bank and dell is beautified by it. She began her work in the spring, and I am told by my imagination that in a short time she will be an honor to herself and class by her success as a teacher of elocution. There is the little blue forget-me-not, which suggests to me one of our number who is well know n, never to be forgotten, and who has been in our midst, brightening the home of our noble Chancellor for several years. Before many years have elapsed she will have spoken herself into fame, and made for herself such a reputation as a counselor and attorney at law that it will be useless for her to say forget-me-not, As I pause before two heliotropes, the emblem of which is devoted attachment, I am reminded of the devoted sisters from West Tennessee ; I see one continuing her guitar lessons, p reparing to teach others its mellow music; but she will not be satisfied with this, and will become discouraged. Soon the scene changes, for she links her fortunes with those of a professor of music and becomes his assistant through life. The other will be a blessing to all with whom she associates, and her quiet, sweet nature will attract many, but she will win laurels as a journalist. As my walk is completed, I look backward, and notice that my attention has been attracted by only twenty flowers. The future of the twentieth I will leave to be predicted by another, and it remains to be seen how true a prophet she will be. As I cast my eye over this plot of ground, perceiving that it is bordered by a chain of daisies, I think of the links of affection and appreciation which bind this class together. Further, I see, here and there, the modest daisies peeping up be- tween the other flowers, which reminds me of the separation of the Daisy Class of ' 97, which is soon to be scattered. Now, may we do honor to our worthy instructors, ourselves, and our Creator. CLASS HISTORY. aS the terminus of another happy and prosperous year approaches, as the beechen buds begin to swell, and we, in military columns form our unbroken line for the forward march out into life ' s untried fields of adventure, to which all eyes are turned with eager expectancy, every heart is athrob with impatience to execute the fondled, darling schemes which enthusiastic young womanhood idealize. Yes, these new-born schemes shall lift this plodding old world up to a higher plane; shall lead men on to nobler living ; shall revise the present social and political codes ; and in all things and in a very brief space of time open to the world these ideal and aesthetic phenomena undreamed of in all history of the world ' s past. The cheery Here! Here! to the Lieutenant ' s roll, is a sweet and tender melody, which resounds from our brave and stalwart score. Heading the column is our zealous and efficient President, Miss Martha Martin, the daughter of Mr. Andrew B. Martin. In the quaint, genial little city of Lebanon, Tennessee, this young- lady of incomparable talents, has grown to womanhood. Her education was begun and completed in this same city of intellect. As a student, she was always recognized as a leader ; in the social world, as a leader; she has no peer. Her sweet, enchanting soprano and the birdlike melodies of her violin, aside from her many other attractions and accomplishments, would make her a favorite in any circle. Next would we mention the Vice President of the van, Miss May Richardson, of Athens. Texas. From early maidenhood has she received tutoring at the bar, by her attorney father. The young madam attorney has had unbounded victory as a barrister. A brilliant future lies before her. The Prophet is Miss Susie Coiner, whose ingenious mind is endowed with power to fathom the intricate enigma of futurity, and depict with greatest precision, life ' s future mysticisms. She, too, is one of Lebanon ' s fair daughters, whom the little city is and ever shall be proud to own. Eclipsed are the powers of the X-ray by the powers of this lady in- terpreter. From early childhood she displayed ability to unfold the hidden treasures of nature, and bv closest application she has attained to noble heights. Bailey says, A poet is she who loves,— who feels great truths— and tells them, for poetry is the eloquence of truth. Our Poet, Miss Alice Williamson, was also reared in the classic little city among the cedars. As a writer she has thus far in life enjoyed a brilliant career. Where poetry abides there also is music found. Poetry is music in words, and music is poetry in sound. Miss Williamson is no less an artist in music than in verse. The jewel of the class is Miss Ruby Baird, whose unparalleled talents make for her in the social and educational world a place, akin unto that which the ruby bears among gems. The partner of an immense clothing establishment, is the fascinating and stately Texarkana lady, Miss Emma Chaytor, whose influence in the mercantile world, knows no bounds. She is also a popular prose writer of ' the day. Her works are not a mere collection, they are a literature If the best writings are those which reproduce the most of life, her place is among the greatest authors of the world. One of Kentucky ' s worthy representatives, Miss Lucy Hughes, was reared to young womanhood in the alluring scenes of the Blue Grass Country. She entered upon her collegiate duties very early in life. Her career as a student was of unparalleled brilliancy. At the same time she pursued a course in Pharmacy. This fair maiden, whose Titian tresses and laughing hazel eyes, combined with a disposition so like the morning of a happy May day, scatters sunshine where e ' r she goes. The broad-minded, thoughtful young lady, whose superior intellectuality places her among the thinkers of the present age, is one of Tennessee ' s fair daughters, Miss Flora Harvill. Her acute calculating powers, from earliest childhocd have led her to delve deep into the problematic world of natural and mental science. The Artist of the class is Miss Eunice Connally, from the Lone Star State. To the artist ' s mind Nature speaks a varied language. This artistic taste, heaven born, is best displayed in the young lady ' s mystic handiwork, in which she is surpassed by none. — 65 — In the little city of Yorkville, Tenn., dwelt two fair-haired sisters. Misses Blanch and Erma Turner. Born to music, they have improved every opportunity for highest attainments in the musical world. Miss Blanch is a nature-endowed vocalist, Miss Erma the highly cultured violinist. Another illustration of true sisterly devotion is presented by the Misses Floyd, the daughters ar d sisters of prominent physicians of Kentucky. These young ladies having adopted the family profession ere they entered college, have made for themselves fame in deeds of benevolence, which are like a fountain watering the earth. O sisterhood! what tie on earth is there, purer, holier! From Trenton, Tenn., fostered in a home of music and highest intellectuality, comes our fair violinist, Miss Mattie Ross Caldwell, who has by natural talent and stamina of character attained to noble heights in her chosen art. During her sojourn in Lebanon she has been the joy and sunshine in the home of her grandfather, the venerable and beloved Chancellor of Cumberland University. From the far sunny Southland, where December ' s chilling blasts baffle not the timid violet nor the lily ' s bloom, comes the Alabama trio. Miss Nannie Wallace of Six Mile, Ala., where from early childhood she resided in a home of fragrant bowers. Here in the groves which were God ' s first temple, the poetic spirit runs high. It was here she received her earliest aspirations for pedagogy, for which occupation C. U. A. has fully equipped her. It was here in these same woodlands that she developed the powers of a linguist, which have given ner universal notoriet} ' . Miss Lillie Hayes, of Woodstock, Ala., while a mere child, displa3 ' ed oratorical ability. She has made great fame as a speaker on political themes. Her late tours through Germany and our own fair land, have given her a place among the great present day orators. Her style of delivery is akin to that of Demosthenes. The Secretary and Treasurer of Company ' 97, Miss Sadie Tally, of Stevenson, completes the Alabama trio. Her first childish proclivities were those of an author. Her masterpiece, the transcendental love poem, Ode to the Memory of the Senior Theologs, ranks high in American literature. It seems that Nature is always pleased to bestow, not singly, her choicest gifts ; thus she has also endowed this young writer with musical talent. Her tender, mellow alto, the wooings of her guitar, and the pathos of her poetry, are all attuned to one sweet harmony. Miss Hallie Pryor, the artistic elocutionist of the score, ranks among the first in the Curry School of Elocution. As a student in the Bostonian School of Expression, she stood on the topmost round of the ladder. With a voice as limpid as the mountain stream and with eyes of heaven ' s own azure hue, this youthful elocutionist possesses the power of painting the picture of nature to the mind ' s eye, as is only possible to one accustomed to the animating and picturesque scenery afforded by the echoing hills of East Tennessee. Miss Alma Pounders, the Philosopher, she to whom all deference is due, has by her indomitable zeal in her special branch of learning, won a place side by side with Father Kant. It has been said that she was the originator of Logic, Emperical Psychology, and the Science of Rights, but strong historical evidences have given the authorship to Aristotle. She is also a great admirer of Schopenhauer. Only those who know her best will be able to appreciate her devotion to this man ' s philosoph} There remains but one of the loyal little band, who, on swift flying toboggan comes down from the busy, merry and frosty Northland, to contrast and love the sunny smiling Southern clime, next best to the cherished Iowa home of her childhood. But ere time grows gray, and the long train of ages glide away, may we not look up into the Father ' s face and ask for patience and a deeper love for those with whom our lots shall be henceforth cast ? O! may we so live, that when our sumnions comes to join That innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take Her chamber in the silent halls of death, We go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but. sustained and soothed By an unfaltering- trust, approach the grave Like one who wraps the tapestry of her couch junior Class.

Foster, in the year 1SS6, for the benefit of the students ' wives and others. Since its organization it has met regularly during the collegiate year and has been an active and vigorous society, having helped to equip as Christian workers no less than one hundred women. Among its members have been the faithful missionaries, Mrs. Geo. Hudson, Mrs. A. D. Hail and Miss Mary Harris and many noble women who are helping their husbands in the home land. Its object has been threefold : The critical and systematic study of the Bible, training in the conduct of meetings, and development in social relations. Helpful topics of vital interest to all women, and to mothers especially, have been discussed. Aside from the usual subjects the following have received special study: Missions, church work in general, Christian art, mothers ' meetings, the kindergarten idea, popu lar amusements, and temperance. It has also led to the organization of similar circles in various parts of the church from California to Pennsylvania. 9? e?nbers of the ffiible Circle. Mrs. A. Bowden, Mrs. S. G. Stratton. Mrs. D.

Of which we ' re proud, and now rejoice thy praises to proclaim. May Fortune grant thee length of days, Vouchsafe th e greater praise. Teach on, ye men with hoary locks, so learned, kind and true. We offer thanks for good advice, for truths we never knew Until within your halls we came and learned them there from you. May richest blessings on you rest; Reward your labors bless Strive on, my classmates, each and all, crammed full of text-book lore. Together many years we ' ve been in toil we ' ll know no more; Stili many conflicts yet must come ere earthly strife be o ' er. May laurels wreathe each noble brow. May Heaven bless yon now. L,ove on, dear Sans Souci, our sweethearts all, so free from care, 1 Be not content to love just one, Oh no! of this beware ; But love again each year the same and then you ' ll be quite fair. May sunshine linger ' round your way And gladden every day. Roll on.

A mammal, (species unknown) found by the Zoological Agent of the University — Mr. McCroskey, was transferred from his native hills in East Tennessee into the environs of the University. When first discov ered its appearance and habits were peculiar. The head, which was potato-shaped, was covered thickly with a hairy flaxen integument. The face (complexion, a Mud River brown) was marked by several notice- able features — protruding eyes, hanging lower jaw enabling the interior of the throat to be seen as far down as the mjdulla oblongata. The body, which was abnormally elongated, was covered down to the twelfth dorsal vertebra by what I should call a coat; the lower covering, which (I think) reached almost to the an- kles, would probably in zoological laaguige bi called pants. Tae forelegs (or arms) were extremely long, but, although I watched repeatedly, I never saw them used for running. When first taken from his original environment the creature did not seem to thrive well, seeming to miss his mother very much. Soon, however, he began to take an interest in his surroundings and to adapt him- self to his new quarters. But it was not until the moulting season came that I noticed the first remarkable change; the new covering (both of coat and pants) which grew out was decidedly longer — especially the pants — and of a more conspicuous hue, around the neck also there came a brilliant peacock flash of colors — reminding one of a gentleman ' s necktie. The forelegs (with hands), which hitherto had dangled loosely at the animal ' s side, were now usually kept in two pocket-like apertures in. the covering of the lower limbs. The integument of the cranium, now grown soft and glossy, stuck tightly to the scalp, giving the head the ap- pearance of a Skye terrier ' s. The mouth, which formerly resembled that of a catfish, had changed consid- erably; indeed it was now kept entirely closed when not in use, and that too without great difficulty. A transformation had also taken place in the eyes; they were withdrawn farther backward against the brain (for I am firmly persuaded that the creature is vertebrate and has a brain) and seem to have made for them- selves a place within the head so that only the most violent excitement (for example, a football game) causes them to resume their original place on the outside. The ( Continued in our next.) LOVE. Love has been defined in mulitudinous ways. For a discussion of the subject, see any Lebanon girl who expects to retire next year in favor of her younger sister. Love is a flower Gently unfolden, By each magic hour Of Spring 1 it is moulden. Hope is its bower, Bliss is its dower ; But, Gee ! love is sour 5 When it ' gins to get olden. Notes. — ] Recent experiments have proven that it is not absolutely necessary that love should be planted in the Spring-. 2 The same thing may be said of milk — and indeed, of various other things.

This is Vlf the transference of an architectural term to a higher end. Many literati of the present day have a decided preference for an appendage to their names. The truth is, the parents of the last generation displayed hut little forethought and little concern for their aspiring sons in not naming them all round at first. How easy it would have been for Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones to have named their sons J. Smith, Ph. D. and D. W. Jones, D. D. To say nothing of euphony in the pronun- ciation of such names, these youths would have left their cradles with full honors of mature scholarly manhood upon them. If this system of naming children should be adopted now, I dare say the colleges and universities of the land in the future, would be saved a great deal of vexation and annoyance. It is related in traditional English literature that a certain gentleman of decidedly literary tastes and acquirements, as he thought, had a mania for finials. His friends, who saw scintillations of genius ema- nating from his pen and mouth, presented his claims vigorously before an institution where these terminal letters were manufactured. After m uch labor the letter A. was appended to his name. As no aspiring man is satisfied with present attainments, the aforesaid institution was again beleaguered, and as a result of the conflict, another letter, a big S. with a dot after it, was added. Encouraged by past success for additional honors the literary gentleman and his friends laid siege again to this institution, and another big S. with a dot after it was obtained. Tradition says he actually survived the shock of this wonderful triumph, and lived for a while in sweet enjoymnt of his title. As a matter of course, all cultivated men understood that A. S. S. stood for A Sound Scholar. Buti alas and a-lacka-dav ! Some naughty boys — boys were always nuisances — got to writing his name on fences carving it on trees, but wrote his title with two little s ' s and left the dots out. The subsequent career of the literary aspirant tradition does not relate. But it may be conjectured that his latter end was not so happy as his former. Let all take heed lest their finials be misinterpreted. TJhe yjeautiful jCong tfj o. Our thoughts turn back as we older grow, To the scenes of yesterday, And the heart grows young as it sings again Its dead youth ' s roundelay; So wheree ' r we turn in our journey ' s path From our wand ' rings to and fro, In fancy once again we dwell In the Beautiful Long Ago. There comes to us from out the past, From mem ' ry ' s treasure trove, The faces that we used to know, The forms of those we love ; The City of the Cedars shows In the days ' dull after-glow. And we meet again our college mates In the Beautiful Long Ago. O college days! Fast fleeting days ! We will live you o ' er again. Tho ' ' neath the shade of college walls We may never more remain, We will live you o ' er when twilight falls And the shadows come and go, As we did among the cedar trees In the Beautiful Long Ago. — 132 — THE STUDENTS END. H my God! And his head dropped in unutterable woe on the face of the open book in front of him. Cold beads stood out on his pallid brow, deep lines appeared across his drawn features. He sat quietly for a moment, a picture of hopeless despair and intense agony. Why, oh why, should I be the victim of. such torture? And great drops of sweat, tears and Old Star Navy blurred the page in front of him. Out on the midnight air, and wafted into his open windows came a wail as of a soul destined to everlasting woe. Again it came, and the neighborhood Tom Cat, the hero of a hundred fights, blushed for shame and sneaked for a more congenial clime. All nature rebelled, the melodious song of a distant Spanish nightingale was suddenly hushed, and in its stead was heard the subdued flutter of his assinine soul as it soared upward to realms of eternal bliss. Suddenly, by a seemingly superhuman effort the dejected student raised himself as if to make a last desperate fight against a present but unseen enemy. I will, by the gods, I will, and he rushed to the window, closed and locked it, and with the same desperation he fastened the door. But all to no purpose. He was doomed. The strain began to tell, and still the wail came on, a few moments and all would be over. He sank gradually to the floor, his body slowly stiffened, and his soul had sought it ' s Maker. But still the wild, weird sound crept in, for the Amphion Quartet was getting in its work. .A FACE. a? A j? Swiftly I sprang- from sleep, As a lost soul that harks distant calling-, And fills the blind dark with listening To the placeless echoes falling. Once, while I slept, there came In the vanishing light of a dream, A face whose passionate charm Will never again be seen. Tangled tresses dark Were drifting o ' er lilied brows, Eyes of pained desire Yearned wildly for Hope ' s pale vows. And lips with longing fulled, Through the flow of the silent night, seemed Striving and striving to speak Of visions from angels gleamed. But e ' er my ear could read Those secrets immortally pure, A wind from pitiless stars veiled the face, And left me in Mystery ' s lure. GdDTONA ffllAEXo Of all the scenes of college days That linger on sweet mem ' ry ' s wall, There ' s none so dear to C. U. Lits As that of old Corona Hall. Just think of all the hundred terms, Of months and years so long now past, In which so many awkward lads Have ' neath this roof their fortunes cast. And how these fellows, some of them, Have bravely learned the lesson rare, Which Weir and Jid and Buck and Mc. So often taught with wondrous care. How, having nobly earned degrees. They ' ve wandered from this fountain great, And Alma Mater ' s honor fair Raised high in business, Church and State. And now closed fast these portals are. We ' re glad, yet sadly do we pass From this, so sweet and cherished spot, To yonder proud and stately mas-i. The future student, great and wise, Will toil and bust ' neath tower lall, But this is not so dear to us As mold ' ring old Corona Hall. — 135 — [IE SUNSET (CULJBc The Sunset Club its meetings hold Each evening- just at five, When coming- night, and going day In sturdy combat strive.

She flatly calls him Mike, This modest little maiden does. Since my girl rides a bike. And wht n I call at eight o ' clock, As lor years I ' ve always done, She sends me word by mamma I simply cannot come, I ' ve ridden many miles to-day. Talk to mamma if you like. And then I go away and swear, Since my girl rides a bike. 7 fi St ' rl.

He dreams not of prosperity, Nor what his wealth can buy, He dreams not of his lovely home, i of days gone by. He is again in college, Back in his little room. The air is full of fragrance From the flowers 7 sweet perfume. His schoolmates are around him, His lessons yet unlearned. He dreams again of Lebanon girls Oh! how his heart does yearn, He holds again the girl he loved, His lips they move anon, He feels again her farewell kiss, He ' s happy — slumbers on.

You never see the lovers strolling-, Down the streets, of afternoons, And they ' ve ceased their languid sighir In the light of silver moons. What can mean this separation, What has turned her heart to steel. Why this lack of osculation? Lady-love has boug-ht a wheel. Now they never watch the sunset Crimsoning- the distant West, While his arm her ribs endang-er. And her head lies on his vest. People turn in onsternation With a look of mute appeal; Soon they have the explanation — She at twilight strides her wheel. And again, they never linger Lovingly upon the bridge, While the spring beladen zephyrs Sigh from o ' er the distant ridge. Cupid swears in desperation, And his very senses reel; For the maid in exultation Hustles by upon her wheel! Love sits straddle of an altar Built of many, many wheels. And the lover grits his molars With the anguish that he feels; But he makes a declaration, Full of cuss words, as a seal: Henceforward no relation With the girl who strides the wheel. — 147 — Some dha cespearean jrfits.

' Round Lebanon The bees, as lovers ' mouths on loved ones ' lips, Cling to the blooms whence dewy sweetness drips; Across the pasture-lands, on gaudy wing, The oriole in undulation swings; And cow-bells, mellowed by the distance, fall Like stray refrains from over heaven ' s wall!

Though fair were the daisies that blossomed, The fair girls were fairer, I swear; Though sweet were the lilies, their sweetness Could ne ' er with the sweet girls compare! And the man who looked in on the vision Might have said as he turned from the scene: Am I dreaming, or can I be stalking In a land where but Beauty is queen? For the Hall was a glitter of glory With daisies and lilies and ferns, And the air seemed to come from an altar Where incense continually burns! THE ' FRAT GOAT OFF DUTY. ' AFTERMATH, OR A TALE OF AGONY.  jrT IS night. Tired humanity is slumbering and resting- itself to do battle with the morrow. The day has been one of feasting- and pleasure, and the people have made merry far into the night, but now the God of Sleep reigns supreme, and the world is dreaming. But there is one who is not asleep, for with brow corrugated as with intense anguish, and with features drawn and contracted, he hangs far out of a window, careless and unmindful of the wintry blast that beats with pitiless force against his bare head and shoulder , and he writhes in speechless agony. Outside, the wind, laden with sleet, moans and sobs through the bare and leafless trees; above the sky is black, and the swiftly shifting clouds vail the pallid moon, but he heeds it not. Withia the room the darkness is intense, except where now and then the light of the moon, shining through a break in the clouds, casts shivering fantastic shadows on the floor. The figure at the window groans, then back in the blackness of the room a slight stir could have been heard, then a slow movement, as of some one uneasily stirring in his sleep. Again comes the agonized groan from the window, and then, as a passing cloud uncovers the moon, and a flood of ghostly light streims into the room, over in a distant corner a figure clad in white slowly rises in the bed, and after staring blankly at the open window for a min- ute, yells out in a not very tender voice: Say, what in the thunder are you doing with that window up? He is only answered by a groan, then again comes the voice from the corner, this time full of indigna- tion: Look here, if you don ' t shut that window, I ' m going to throw this chair at you. At this the figure at the window only groans and mutters something that sounds like a very cordial invi- tation to the individual in the bed to go to a certain place where he would not be bothered with cold. The voice from the corner is heard no more, and he at the window groans, while without the wind blows on and the moon is obscured again. The man at the window is suffering the awful aftermath of a Thanksgiving dinner. — 154 — LAKE KA.THERINE, TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL. 155 The cawing crows g-o winging- over, And bees boom low in the fragrant clover, As I sprawl on the late spring sward, From care and l abor free, — Dreaming , Dreaming-, Dreaming, Of the love that loves not me.

TITH ITH many misgivings do we enter upon the nervy task of recording- some of tne things that transpired during the late warm political campaigns, which have grown to be a distinguishing- feature of the Law Department. The reader will never know how many cuitain lectures the writer has endured, how many apologies he has made, or how many bruises there are on his body. If this be so, the curious will wonder what inducement could have been offered, which would lead a person to such a hazardous enterprise. For their benefit, be it said that the sole motive is patriotism — a desire to set the Law Department right in the eyes of the uninitiated. Some have said that the Law boys were slow and antiquated — that they lead a hum drum, monotonous existence, without a ripple of pleasure or excitement to vary the prevailing musti- ness. Not so, nay verily not so, and in support of that statement, we offer the following notes on the Literary Society and Moot Court elections, which were jotted down by a non-partisan — by a person physically unable to withstand or endure the trials and hardships necessary to a successful campaign, and who, therefore, was only a spectator at the carnivals and scenes of wild disorder which bjre the name of election — truly a misnomer. The first election of the year was held on September 12, ' 96. The quietness with which it came and passed was in striking contrast to the elections which followed every two and one-half months Estes was elected Judge of the Moot Court, and Sanders, President of the Society. Immediately the political bee began buzzing in the ears of some of the ambitious, and deep-laid schemes were planned for the next election. With tae first wind from the North came a source of factional dispute and contention. Wild rumors were circulated among the Non-Frats. by some of their devoted and self-sacrificing (?) leaders. Caucus after caucus w is held, slate after slate was formed, which forced the Greeks to vote together as a matter of self- defence. The fight was declared a draw; the Greeks having elected Jared as Judge, and the Non-Frats, Howser as President of the Society. Things, or rather politics, were growing warm. In that election the Greek element split on the candidate for President. The Frats who voted with the Non-Frats in that election, expected the support of the NonFrats in the next election and set their sails accordingly. But, lo and behold! there were two of the bolting- Frats who thought that the word Judge would lend dignity to their appearance. In that election was presented to some who were from Podunkville and Dark Corner ' ' the novel sight of a personal canvass for an honorary office. At all times of the day, yes even at night small groups of boys or groups of small boys, (I leave the reader to judge) could be seen on every corner in- tensely interested in the discussion of some question which was evidently of grave importance. If the fact that canes and umbrellas were frequently used to punctuate remarks goes for anything. Wilson and Robinson announced themselves as candidates for Judge, and each gave it out on the quiet that he had a sure thing. Soon thereafter Mallory was announced as being in the hands of his friends ' ' their object being to secure the Presidency for him. Tyson soon appeared as the opposition candidate and ye race went on right merrilie. When the votes were counted it was found, strange to say that two can- didates had been defeated. Robinson was Judge and Tyson was President of the Philomathean. Soon after this two candidates who had been in training all the fall appeared and said they could go a good traveling gate in the race for the Presidency of the Class of ' 97. Prowse who was one of the candi- dates would have met no opposition had he chosen to be the Class Liar for his qualifications could not be impeached. Abbott who thought the President of the Class ought to be a Representative man objected to Prowse on the ground that not every one had the advantages of referring to the County records, and the wardrobe drawer. In this memorable election, the immortal four made their first appearance and on their ballots depended the result of the election. Prowse was the lucky man. The history of the next election for Judge, and President of the Society would only be a repetition of that already written, the only new feature of the canvass, was the appearance of the Juniors, who demanded their share of the pie on the fair-divide ticket. They got it, and the history is told. Simonton was Judge, andTodd, a Junior, was President of the Philomathean. VIEW OX WEST MA IX STREET. SHE WILL NOT! My Muse — stubborn thing! Will not sing.

He has no apologies to offer, no excuses to make, what has been done, is done; and whether it be good or bad, it is the best that much labor and painstaking could do. We hope that the ' 97 Phcenix will surpass and prove to be better and even more interesting than any previous number of the same book, and that it will be surpassed and improved on by all succeeding numbers. The board of editors have had to combat with many hindrances, and many obstacles have been laid in their path, some they have beaten aside, others they have gone around. It was late, in fact almost too late, when the first work was begun on the book, and even then it seemed uncertain whether the ' 97 Phcenix would ever materialize into a reality. The clamorous demands of, per- haps, a well meaning non-frat element, who, going contrary to all previous precedents and traditions per- sistently claimed a representative, had to be silenced, the absence of support from the Student Body had to be contended with, so the road to success, if to success we have journeyed, has been one of many trials and tribulations. So, you who peruse this book criticise not its faults, nor sneir at its imperfections, but rather seek for it ' s excellencies, for some there b. j . Should any of you rind yourselves roasted too harshly vent not your wrath or your pugilistic propensities upon the Editor, for he is a meek and peace loving citizen, but consider your- selves honored to be mentioned at all. As will be noticed all the literary contributions have no signatures, so nothing need be said as to the contributors, and as all the drawings with the exception of two or three were made by members of the Phcenix Board no thanks are necessary for their production. So now after six weeks of constant toil and trouble and complete ostracism from society and pleasure the Editors send out to the world this PhcEnix which arising from the nickering flame of midnight oil, goes forth as a memento of college days that will never return . The Editor hopes that he has done his duty well, and that the trust placed in him by his fellow-students has been in no way misused. So thus, after many days we lay aside our pen to take it up no more, we send forth this book to whatever greetings you may have in store for it. At last, at last our work is o ' er, Go forth, O Phcenix, for thy course to soar, Perchance from door to door to beg, Thou glorious product of the egg! And you who through these pages turn, Displeased with all you see and learn, Strive not your further curse to add; Blame not us, prehaps the egg was bad. — I — VISITORS TO THE CENTENNIAL, LfOK FOR OUR EXHIBIT.
