TUT ERE in 1842 Cumberland University began to be, and the old brick church stands on North Cumberland street to tell of the University ' s humble birth. The Old College Building. This structure was begun in the autumn of the same year, 1842, and opened for the occupation of the Liter- ary Department early in 1S43. The building was enlarged and finished handsomely a decade after, and was the home of the three departments, Literary, Law and Theological. The building and apparatus were worth $50,000. Ashes and Rubbish. The story of the war and its destruction to life and fortune has been told. Cumberland ' s elegant building at the end of 1863 is a heap of ashes and rubbish. Will she rise again ? Resurgam. While her heartiest friends no longer hoped, the Trustees and Faculty persevered. The various depart- ments re-organized after the war in humble quarters. Meanwhile, an Alumnus of the University came this way, and on a fallen pillar wrote Resurgam . ' Phcenix-like, the resurrection came, and our motto continues, £ cineribus resiirgo. Corona Hall. This building was purchased by the Trustees and became the home of the Literary Department. It re- mained such till erection of Memorial Hall. Corona was sold and has since been run as a boarding hall. Divinity Hall. On West Main Street, far away from the evil associations down town, stands Divinity Hall, which became the home of the Theological School in the early ' 70 ' s — an id eal place for Theologs. It now is a boarding hall. Caruthers Hall. In i .877 this elegant structure was built by Judge Caruthers for the Law School. Here, also, is the General Library, the Uni- versity Auditorium and two Society Halls. Memorial Hall. Since 1896 the Theologi- cal and Literary Departments have looked down on all Lebanon from this handsome building. It is the nucleus around which the Greater Cumberland, told of on the following page, will build. Biographical Brevities PROF. A. H. BUCHANAN, LL.D.

History, ' 117 ' HILE rummaging in the dusty corners of old Caruthers library I came upon an old leather-bound book, but I could see that from time to time new leaves had been sewed in it, so that it presented a rather unique appearance and at once attracted my attention. On the impulse of the moment I sat down near a window and began to satisfy my curiosity by turning through the book. On the first page I saw a cut of an old ordinary two story, or rather story and a half brick building, about forty by sixty feet in dimensions. I won- dered what it was until I read beneath it these words: Cumberland University ' s First Building, in 1S42, on North Cumberland street, Lebanon, Tenn. Looking on the opposite page I saw the names of the professors of this beginning of Cumberland University. They were Dr. Cossitt, President; C. G. McPherson, Mathematics; Dr. Anderson, Languages. Reading down a little further, I saw where Dr. Lindsey was added as professor in Languages in 1843, and Gen. A. P. Stewart was made professor of Mathematics in 1845, Dr. McPherson having resigned. I turned another page in the old book and saw another picture, but of a far different building. This time it was a handsome brick edifice of three stories, presenting an imposing front. Again was my curiosity excited, and I hastened to read these words under the picture : Cumberland University, 1859, South College street, Lebanon, Tenn. I looked on the opposite page again for explanation and saw the names of the same old professors with a few additions. But I saw that there were two departments, one of Law and the Literary Department. I saw that the attendance in the Literary Department was two hundred and fifty-five. I glanced hurriedly through several pages and caught the drift of the sentences and knew that they were descriptive of the rapid growth of the Literary Department of Cumberland University. But I was somewhat startled by see- ing another picture, and this time it was that handsome building going up in a cloud of smoke and flames. As I read beneath the picture I understood the mystery of this beautiful building burning to the ground : Cum- berland University, the home of the Literary Department, burned during the Civil War. Fuller particulars were given on the following pages, telling how the building had been used as barracks by negro troops, and how the} ' had defaced and looted the building so that the Confederate soldiers who drove them away were so heart-broken that rather than see the proud building so defaced and humbled they burned it to the ground. Those pages further told of the pitiful story of those professors and students enlisting in the army, many of them never to return. And as I turned and turned those pages I saw another unique thing. It was the first catalogue issued after the war, and it was pasted in the old book. It told of the struggle to renew endowment and to start again the school. The following faculty was given : Dr. McDonald, President ; Dr. Beard, Latin and Greek ; Dr. Buchanan, Mathematics ; Julius Blair, Modern Languages, and N. J. Finney, Teacher. It showed a hundred and twenty- five students, in a rented building. But as I turned, again I saw another two-story building, and under it I read, Corona Hall, Home of Lit- erary Department of Cumberland University, 1877. But I did not stop to read any on this, but hurried on through. Another building caught my eye as I turned. This time it was a very large and handsome brick building, four stories high, with a massive tower in front. It was situated on a prominence overlooking the town. Under the picture I read, Memorial Hall, the Home of the Literary and Theological Departments of Cumberland University, 1896. And here I stopped and looked and wondered at the rapid strides of this school. I closed my eyes and saw pass before me professors who were bent with age and leaning on canes. I saw them as they slowly wended their way towards this grand building. I saw the halls crowded with men on the first floor. I saw a handsome modern library ; I saw departmental apparatus and laboratories. I heard the ringing of electric bells and saw the flashing sunlight playing in the spray of the fountain in front of the building. I heard the clang of a bell as an automobile went whizzing by. I heard hundreds of voices shouting the college yells, and in my reverie I saw the faces of the old professors light up with a happy smile as the crowding mass of students gave way, with hats in hand, to bow and greet with a cheer these brave old men of the Literary Department. I awoke from my reverie with a start, the old book had fallen to the floor, and I arose and went out into the open air, elated and happy, for I knew in my heart that these things are rapidly coming to pass. sip ■ ' %W@i0.

HE present Senior Class has, worthy to be re- corded, a thousand thing ' s mi- bile dictu. But the want of pace forbids that many of these worthj r feats and accom- plishments of ours shall ever be made known. Tolidem verbis, this class, though small in numbers, is the banner class of all that have ever gone out from these walls. From Texas, Missis- sippi, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, we came tog-ether here, and Mony a canty day We ' ve had wi ' ane anither. Perfect harmony has at all times existed among us, and the friendship of our school days has doubled life ' s joys and halved its sorrows. We regret that the time of our parting has come ; that we must speak our last farewell — a word that must be, and hath been — A sound which makes us linger — yet — farewell. Out of the Freshman Class of ' 98, sixteen in number, but two, Wear and Johnson, par nobile fratrum, have sur- vived to tell the story of many hard-fought battles in which we saw fourteen of our fellows either flee as deserters or fall on the field. From fourteen Sophomores we gained but two classmates, Feild and McGlothlin, who were able to come with us to the end. Verily, they shall have their reward. From the Juniors we gained no new companion. The last of our old comrades gave up the struggle and left the big four, determined to see the end. Happily for us, however, we were not thus to continue. Our number must be increased. During the Senior year we were joined by two noble aspirants, Lewis and Mitchell. Mr. Lewis joined us as an irregular Senior, coming from the Junior Theo- logical Class. Mr. Mitchell being an irregular student, had completed several Senior studies, and at the opening of the last term made the sixth member of our class. Thus we stand. Six! Behold us ! Mitchell and Wear Certainlv get there ; With McGlothlin and Feild Close on their heel, And Lewis and Johnson Will get there in the long run. Prophecy. Alexander McGlothlin : Thou art he whom thy fel- lows shall praise. Thou shalt be a great merchant. From thy bountiful store many hearts shall be made glad and the} ' will rise up and call thee blessed. Serns in caelum redeas. David Earl Mitchell : Unto thee shall the gathering of the people be, for thou art a fruitful branch. Thou shalt be a great educator and many shall come from the East and the West and the North and the South to have their thirst for knowledge slaked at thy fountains. Dili laetus inter sis populo tuo. Luther Ewtng Wear : Thou art rara avis ; thy head is red ; nevertheless thou shalt be great among thy fellows. Thou shalt be a great lawyer; nations shall wait for thy opin- ion, and thou wilt mete out justice to all. Sit tibi tonga vita. Lemuel Jackson Lewis : Thou art a rare jewel set in a rough stone. Thou shalt be a great preacher. Many shall look to thee for instruction and example. Thy responsibil- ities shall be great and increased. Dens sit tecum et pros- perit. Julian Clarence Feild : Thou art a peach. Thou lovest girls more than books. Hence thy head shall be bald ; and she whom thou now lovest will marry another. Nevertheless, thou shalt have plenty of money and see a good time. Sit tibi terra levis. Geo. Lewis Johnson: Thou art an ass couching down between two burdens, but thou shalt arise and shake off the dust, and the countenance of thy physiog shall change. Thou shalt be a preacher, and many shall rise up and say unto thee, go away back and sit down. Ob- tineas dulcem et bonam uxorem. Motto: EI que no se atreeve no pasa la mar. Yell.

THE superiority of the Junior Class is universally recognized by all who know its merits, and who can be better quali- fied to judge in this respect than the members themselves? When the Lone Star State sends forth that star, the windiest of all her windy race ; when Kentucky produces the fairest of all her fair ones ; when the Empire State for- feits the right to this title by sending to us her most learned, as well as jolliest representative ; when Old Volunteer herself completes the quota with her sturdy yeomanry : what wonder is it that its praises are sung on every side ! But not only now shall this class be famed. Some day the Merry Man may bring joy to many hearts ; the Brown bud may develop into a useful, since not ornamental, plant ; the Orr may reveal the diamonds in their true brilliancy that are now shining only in the rough. Truly, by their works ye shall know them. Whether at the desk, at the bar, or in the pulpit, this class will make their impress visible and their influence felt. Never before did such an array of talent ; such a combination of wit, satire, and intellect, crown the cedar logs of Old Lebanon. Indeed, a class such that there was none like unto it before, nor after it shall be. Memoirs of Poet, Jr. Year after year we ' ve passed between those walls And stood, when once we ' ve shed the thralls Of classes each new year for newer halls, Where came to us the voice that clearer calls : This is the class of which the poet feigns To sing in unpremeditated strains — The christened class of nineteen hundred two, Whose venturous crew, from year to year that grew As does the spiral into a dwelling new, Still slept and steals whose lettered door-ways thro, In halls memorial, where the freshie flings His cock-fight crow to flap of senior wings. Fresh is the freshie ; soph -i(s)-more, poor kin ; Class Junior, all O K.; senior, sheep skin. Be not deceived. In Alma Mater ' s cell Too soon, unchambered, thou ' lt not longer dwell. Soon, too, thou ' lt see no more that spiral dome Of each past year ' s dwelling, so oft thy home ! That home the likeness of thy life shall be Where dwells thy soul throughout Eternity !

The Sophomore Class was the peer of the school, The sine qua non of the good and the true, Whatever they did, though ' twas great or ' twas sma Was always a great satisfaction to all. Though sometimes their teachers would grumble an Because all the lessons were not up to date. The Sophomores ' patience would never give way, They ' d do the same thing on the very next day. In Chemistry, Science, in Latin and Greek, They learned all the lore of the learning most deep, They darkly construed and they painfully read The meaning of all that the learned had said. They gabbled in German, they mumbled in French, They gave Mathematics a terrible wrench That caused the professor to scratch his grey head, And wonder if all but the numskulls were dead. The Katy-did heard of the warriors bold, Of sages and writers, the heroes of old, While Callan would tell of the brevitas fine That Tacitus used in his Annals of Time. The Dominus Rex found a tyrant long dead, Procrustes of old, with his short little bed, The Cherokee learned how to wave at the train, And play hide-and-seek with his lady ' s fair hand. A Neely there was, with a motion most slow, Who told how the Latin and Greek ought to go, A Little One fair, who was precious to all, Because old Dame Nature makes precious things sma: If space did permit I might many things tell, Of Liars, Historians, Prophets as well, Of writers and speakers whose names on the roll Of the Sophomore class are placed high on the scroll. Whose names will go down on history ' s pages As thinkers, philosophers, poets and sages, Who struggled with syntax of Latin most hard, ' Mid shedding of tears and some dropping of blood. But now they are through with the Sophomore year, Its visions in mind will they hold ever dear, And lovingly think, in the days that shall pass, Of the times that the3 ' had in the Sophomore Class.

In the register of the alumni of Cumberland Univer- sity there were found in the year 1955, the names of all who were in the class of 1905. The University was so proud of them that their class was mentioned as the best class that ever graduated in the University. Nearly every one had become President of the United States. Two had together bought the island of Great Britain and were run- ning a truck farm on it, to supply the markets of Europe with vegetables. Another had become the steel man of Tennessee, known all over the earth for his boundless wealth and for his generosity ; while his better half, also a member of the same class, moves the world with the stir- ring words from her pen ; in fact, she had already moved it several degrees from its natural orbit while still in the Freshman class.

Here hun- dreds have been prepared for the Freshman class of college, and from this school have gone out many sons and daughters to bless the world. Professor Grannis will close his school at the end of the present scholastic year. W. J. GRANNIS, A.M. Professor Grannis is a native of New York, and was educated in the Jefferson County Institute and the New York State Normal. The greater part of his active life has been devoted to educational work, and his connection with Cumberland University faculty, originally dating back to 1852, has given him a national reputation and a standing among the learned and veteran educators of the country — he being the oldest educator in Tennessee. Far and wide young and middle aged men can be found successfully plying the various vocations in life, who lend luster to his name, remember and revere him with all the kindness and respect of a father. HERBERT W. GRANNIS, A.M. Professor Grannis is a graduate of Cumberland University, and for twenty-two years has taught in the Preparatory School. He is also a graduate of Goodman ' s Business College, Nashville, one of the foremost commercial training institutions in the country, and in which he taught for four years. He also taught one year in Watson ' s Business College, of Memphis, with the result that he brings to bear all these valuable experiences and qualifications in the Business Department of Cumberland University Preparatory School. Nowhere in this land is Greek, Latin and the Commercial courses taught more thoroughly in preparatory schools. % C Mp f v - M ' 4. W • r ' ■KRR ] 1 1, . . g A, V B , ' ?

The school is modern in owned by Prof. I. W. P. History O page in the history of Cumberland University is brighter than that devoted to the Law Department. The board of Trustees created this institution in January, 1847, and in October, of the same year, Judge Abraham Caruthers, having resigned his position upon the Circuit Bench of the state for this purpose, gathered about him a class of seven students and began the first session. We are told that he at once discarded the old system of teaching law, and asserted that the youth of the land, who were fitting themselves for the legal profession, should be instructed in this as in any other science. How well he and his honored successors have proven the truth of this assertion is indicated by the various positions in the profession which the graduates of this school have taken. Law schools were a new thing in those days, but notwithstanding the existing prejudice, this one was a success from the very first. The number of students increased during the first collegiate year from seven to twenty-five, and during each succeeding year the number continued to increase, until when the war broke out, there were one hundred and eighty in attendance. It is not necessary to re-count the devastations of the war, but sufficient to say, that after that great strug- gle was over the law school was re-established with twenty students, every one of whom had been a soldier on one side or the other. And so each year_since its work has continued and the present is, therefore, the fifty- fifth of its existence. During this half century near two thousand graduates have gone forth. They are famed as the most able practitioners at the bar, and have presided from the Supreme Court of the United States to all the lower State Courts in the vast area in which the influence of the school has spread. In the legislative branch of government the school has ever maintained its position, having at one time thirty-nine graduates who were members of Congress. At present five of our graduates occupy seats in the Senate chamber, and there are several times that number in the House. JUDGE N. GREEN. DR. A. B. MARTIN. La.iv Faculty. The Guides Through the Tunnel NATHAN GREEN, LL.D. Judge Nathan Green was born in Winchester, Tenn., February 19, 1827. He entered Cumberland University in 1843, and was graduated in 1847. In the same j ' ear he entered the Law Department and graduated also from that two years later. For a number of years he practiced law, and with marked success until 1856, when he was called to fill a chair in the Law Department of his Alma Mater. The degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Center College, Ky. In 1873 he was elected Chancellor of the University, and has held that position until his resignation in 1899. During almost half a century he has instructed hundreds of law) r ers, and none could be more thoroughly beloved than he. A. B. MARTIN, LL. D. Andrew B. Martin was born at Trousdale Ferry, Smith County, Tenn., in 1837. At an earl) ' age he came to Lebanon and by his individual effort obtained a liberal education. He entered the Law Department of Cumberland University in 1856, and was graduated three years later. He successfully practiced his profession until 1878, when he was elected Professor of Law. Since that time he has continued in that capacity with the most marked success. In 1883 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the Trustees and Faculty of Lincoln University, 111.

WHENCE come we? Verily, from all points of the compass — from the colder northern climes; from the Green fields of Virginia ; and the cotton fields of Alabama, and East Tennessee -the land of ora tory and moonshine. Men from the blue grass regions of Kentucky, and from the wind-swept prairies of Texas, have sheathed their guns and come arm in arm ; and from beyond the rugged peaks of the Rockies have we gathered our strength. Who are we? Why, the whole thing — we are It. Some are poor, some are rich, some are neither, some are single, some are married and all want to be. Farms have given up their owners, and farmers have given up their plow-boys that our strength may be augmented. Pulpits have been made vacant, and lawyers have joined our ranks that they might be- come greater lawyers. Schools have sent us their teachers, the world of business has sent us its financiers. Have we not fought the Spaniards in Cuba, and the rebels in the Philippines? Have we not practiced law in China, and traveled through all the Russias ? Again, did we not run the Paris exposition and conduct the funeral of Italy ' s assassinated king? Yea, and even have we looked into the face of the immortal Prince Henry of Germany. And now, our countenances radiant with joy and our hearts aglow with love, as we look down from the heights to which we have ascended, we feel a touch of sorrow — for some have fallen b} ' the way. Not all could wade the deep mires and penetrate the tangled wilderness of Black Acre. Nor yet could all follow through the cold, dark labyrinths of IV. Kent ' s tunnel. The Strong box held the secrets of the Law too securely for a few. But as we trod the weary way we have had new men to fill the vacancies in our ranks As is natural to suppose from the above recited facts, this class has been the greatest in the history of the Law School. Of course, there are some who take the opposite view. Sans Souci says we are the shortest set of which they have memory, and admitting their memory to be ordinarily good, that would include all classes since the rebellion. Some of our teachers saj ' we only studied on special occasions and that these were few ; that we not always attended class ; that we were never all there on time ; nor yet all remained till dismissed. It is even said that we sometimes read newspapers and dreamed dreams in class. Indeed, we have literally and metaphoricall} ' painted the town red. But more, do not our judges say the moot courts are now better thau ever? Have we not furnished more than our quota of men both to football and to baseball? Have we not furnished some of the best men on the staff of our weekly paper ? Do we not have more men on the Phcenix board than any other department ? Did we not win the oratorical con- test over the best men of the other departments? Verily, we are a class proud of our noble ancestors, and of which they may well be proud. But finally, whither go we ? Verily, from sea even to sea, and from the river even unto the ends of the earth. We can now say : — Veni, Vidi, Vici and for our motto we take the single word, Vincemus. So, we bid you farewell, even the girls we love. We go away, never to return — to be forgotten or if remembered, re- membered with a shudder. But as we climb the hill of fame, you will one day be glad to say, I knew him once, and our Alma Mater will be glad to own the Law Class of 1902. 51 The Mission Room.

WILLIAMS Hattonville, Tenn. 53 Prophecy J2 Methinks I am standing in the dawn of the year 1935, and have been reading numerous accounts of the Junior Law Class of 1902, some of which I will recount for the benefit of those who desire to hear. In the first place, there is that whole-souled, big-hearted Williams and his pipe, which have just come home from their fourteenth term in the State Legislature, with his pockets jingling with the hard earned cash of big corporations. Next, fellow citizens, on the grand honor roll of Cumberland University is Old Hickory Carlton, who is now a big lawyer working in the interest of the Tennessee Central Railroad. Now we come to the orator of the class, who has advanced from pillar to post and from post to pillar until he has at- tained the honor of sitting in the gubernatorial chair of the great state of firearms and moonshine whiskey. Then there passes before my gaze that good old fellow Peebles, who is now so far advanced in years and in the hearts of his people that they have elected him Mayor of the City of Columbia. So you wish to know what has become of Boils Turner ? Well, he went West soon after leaving school and is now engaged in teaching the new idea how to shool ( craps) in Montana. Who would have thought Blackwell would have amounted to such little apples? But it is a fact that he is not a metnber of the bar of Clay, Kentucky. Standing out in the panoramic view is Jumbo Patterson, who is Justice of the Peace in his home town, and thinks he is some pumpkins. Our eyes next behold that long, lean, lank Mayfield, the tall sycamore of Rasf Tennessee, who has run for the legisla- ture seven times and is still running. Now we come to the Junior member of the class, Little Whaley, who has quit the practice ( ?) ol law and is work- ing in his father ' s lumber yard Look, listen ! Cartwright, who wanted to be elected Assessor of his county, has at last succeeded after five successive defeats. Now for the ladies ' man of the class ( Tharp ). He has never succeeded in getting married, but is a good looking old bachelor with a bald head, nose glasses, and false teeth. He is serving on the board of Mayor and Aldermen of his native town of Macon. Mr. Baker, the little man with black mustache, has been defending corporations so long, the Legislature, under a special charter, has incorporated him with the capital stock of a full beard. There is old man Ridings, who has been everything, from Justice of the Peace to Constable, in Humphreys County. Mr. Smith has made quite a record in his native state of Alabama. He has lost every case that he has tried, and some that he has not tried. Now for the only married man in the class, Patton. He is a great lawyer for all men who desire to obtain a divorce. Last, but not least, comes Big Whaley, who is riding the bumpers with big-Moneyed ( ? ) men. History THE Theological School has been part of the University since 1853, and will be for a good while yet. Tradi- tion has preserved with its usual accuracy the first words of the first theological student that ever arrived in Lebanon. In getting down from the top of the stage he received a fall which slightly dazed him. but on recovering, he was heard to remark with emphasis, I tell you, the theological students stand much higher in the estimation of the people of Lebanon than they did ten years ago. This has ever since been the cardinal tenet of successive generations in the Seminary. Theological students used to board — when there was anything to eat — at Camp Blake, just north of the site of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Divinity Hall — where there is always plenty— is the successor of Camp Blake. For some time after the war both the Literary and Theological Departments were taught at Divinity Hall. This is only one of several instances in which the different departments of the University have rendered most valuable aid to one another. Three hundred and forty-five men will have been graduated by the Seminary when all the present Seniors are safe with their diplomas. Of these, many are married, some dead, most, whether wed or single, are still faithful in the ministry of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In [896 the Seminary moved into its present quarters on the second floor of the new University building. Here it has gathered to itself a fair library and some up-to-date chapel furniture. The Bell Mission Room is due to the faithful efforts of Dr. and Mrs. Bell, and contains a very fine collection of things from mission lands. Seminary students spend their time in study. Their spare time is occupied in growling about the amount of work assigned them. It has been three years, the Faculty say, since any student of this Department has com- plained of not having enough work to do. It must be said to the Faculty ' s credit that while they seem to expect a good deal of the students, they frequently and sincerely warn them against overwork and neglect of bodily exercise. There are some men in every class who do not know any better than to kill themselves studying, and the logical result will be required gymnasium work five times a week. The standard of scholarship varies with individuals, of course ; but there is no discounting the standard of effort. Almost everybody tries as hard as he can to do the best he can. Rhetoricals are a feature of Seminary work which strike the student with much force. They are always enjoyable — to look back upon. Impromptu exercises sometimes afford an awful joy. Seminary Y. M. C. A. and Mission Study Classes keep a live interest in Missions. Married Men ' s Club holds secret meetings. Heurethelian and Caruthers Literary Societies divide the allegiance of Theologs. Seminary men are found in every branch of student activity. Seminary professors extend their influence by articles and addresses over the whole church. And Seminary life is in most cases looked back upon with affectionate regard. Friends of the institution believe that its influence is for good over all who come into its halls, and that it will soon receive gifts enabling it to do its work better than ever before. Teachers of Theologs. DEAN J. M. HUBBERT. James M. Hubbert, D.D., is from Missouri. He entered C. U. in 1869, receiving the degree of A.B. in 1875, and the B.D. degree in 1876. He next took the Junior Law Course in C. U., and from there he went to Union Theological Seminary, New York, where he remained three years. During 22 years he has been pastor of three churches— Lincoln, 111.; First, Nashville, and Lebanon. He was elected Dean of the Theological Seminary in 1893. In 1896 he was elected to the Stated Clerkship of the General Assembly. He resigned his Lebanon pastorate and his position in the University during the present j-ear. DR. R. V. FOSTER. Robert Verrell Foster, D.D., is a native Tennessean and a characteristic product of Lebanon, the Southern Athens.

He was for twenty years editor of the Sunday school literature of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He was a teacher in Waynes- burg College, Pa. For twenty-six years Dr. Foster has been a teacher in the Theological Department of Cumberland University. He now has the chair of Systematic Theology. He is the author of a number of profound books, and many gems of thought lie yet unpublished, hidden away in the secret places of his study. DR. C. H. BELL. Claiborne H. Bell, A.M., D.D., is a native of Mississippi. His education was received principally at Cumberland University. In 1853 he received here the degree of A.B. Later on he received the degrees of A.M. and D.D. Imme- diately after the war he became President of the Young Ladies ' College at Oxford, Miss. Here he remained till 1873, when he left the college in a flourishing condition. Dr. Bell was for many years President of the Board of Missions. Since 1884 he has been filling the Chair of Missions and Apologetics in Cumberland University. PROF. W. P. BONE. Winstead P. Bone was born in Texas in 1861.

He received the degree of B.D. from Cumberland University Afterwards he attended Union Theological Seminary, New York. He also was a student for some time in the Uni- versity of Chicago. Not yet being satisfied, he made a trip to Berlin, where he received the degree of A.M. Prof. Bone has for several years filled the chair of New Testament Greek and Interpretation in the Theological Department of Cumberland University, and is eminently fitted for the place. Teachers of Theologs. DR. J. V. STEPHENS. John V. Stephens, D.D. was born in Southern Missouri. His education was received in Lincoln University at Lin- coln, 111,, where he received the degree of A.B., and at Cumberland University, where he received the degree of E.D. He received the degree of D.D. from Trinity University. He was for a while a student in Union Theological Seminary, New York. Professor Stephens has been a prominent pastor, and was for a time Secretary of the Cum- berland Presbyterian Board of Missions. For the last nine years Professor Stephens has filled the chair of Church History in the Seminary. He is the author of a number of books, and represents his church in the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance. PROF. FINIS KING FARR. Finis King Farr, C.E., B.D., is a loyal son of Missouri. His delicate health in his bo to cultivate his musical talents, preparing him for a musical career. But the youth g ' 89 he received the degree of C.E. in Cumberland University. He continued his work ceived the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

In ' 95 he rsity. lood and youth led his parents :w into a sinewy man, and in this school, and in ' 94 he re- s studies still further, and in called to the Chair of Hebrew and Old Testament Inter- PROF. F. J. STOWE. Prof. Frank J. Stowe was born at Lockport, 111., in 1868. From his earliest recollections his aim has been to excel in oratory and toward that aim he has bent his energy. In 1895 he received the degree of Bachelor of Oratory from Em- erson College in Boston. By dint of hard labor he received in one more year the degree of Master of Oratory. Pro- fessor Stowe has also been a teacher in Lyndon Institute, Lyndon, Vt., and in Waynesburg College, Pa. In 1899 he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Cumberland University, where he has since filled the chair of Ora- tory to the satisfaction of the facult} r and students alike. S. C.

Our Journey October, 1899, to May, 1902. THIS journey covers three years, from May till October of each year being- a period of rest. We began with twenty-two in our party, from eleven different states. They were Abe, Carr, and Coats; Erwin and Frazier ; Hereford, Hunt and Johnson ; Lasswell, Leeper, McWilliams, Norris and Pitts ; Perry, Polk and Pond ; Reag-or, Reid and Simms ; Wear, White and Wilson. After the first rest, Hart and Park joined us, but we lost ten, seven having- fallen by the wayside, and three, Norris, White and Lasswell having- taken a shorter cut over the English road, leaving onl3 ' fourteen. After the second rest, Erwin, Perry and Reid having dropped out, we continue and complete the journey with eleven men. Perhaps it will be of interest to review this journey. Before starting on our march we selected the proper man to attend to the details of the journey. This was Hunt, the painstaking, Jot-and-Tittle Hunt. So careful was he in planning for the trip and in providing for all necessary equip- ments, that not even a tooth-pick was lacking. Another happy selection was in a man to lead our devotions along the way. This was Coats, the Pious. This hum- ble traveler made us feel that we were poor worms of the earth crawling along, rather than self-important Seniors, walking proudly on. Our legal adviser was Hart, the lawyer-theolog, whose mind could make nice distinctions, which the rest of us stupid fellows could not see, even with the microscope. Our thievishness kept us in trouble. Some stole hearts, Park stole apples, and all stole sermons. Attorne} ' Hart always came to our rescue. Shnms, an animated question point, but none the less a thinker, was taken along to worry the guides and to disturb public worship. Rig r ht in the midst of Coats ' solemn charges, Simms would let go with some irreverent tom-foolery, convulsing the entire party. He took special delight also, in making side excursions to scrape the moss from some nearby mounds in which were buried great heaps of orthodoxy. Carr kept his own secrets. He walked quietly along with a smile on his face, present in body, but absent in spirit.- He would often spend his leisure hours wandering out in the fields talking sweetly to the flowers. Hereford, our earnest little Pelagian pusher, was in the crowd; he was very much along, taking long strides, swing- his arms at full length, puffing like a steam engine. He had time occasionally, to run aside to help Simms in scraping moss. Investigative Abe, our Japanese philosopher, said little, observed closely, thought deeply, and can now tell more than any one of what was seen on the journey. Park, the patient Park, the smooth-tempered, good-natured Park, cared little whether we traveled afoot or in the automobile. Wear, warm-natured and impulsive, allowed no one but himself to read the guide posts and sign boards along the way. He sometimes assisted Simms and Hereford. Reagor, cautious and undecided, was never quite sure which fork of the road to take. But when others quarreled he made peace. He took pleasure in doing- all the roust-about work for the entire party, and posted lyceum bills along the way. Shyly walking along in the rear was our timid friend, Frazier, the popular, big-hearted, Webstenan, mountain orator, wabbling along with his hand over his mouth, as if he thought earth was too good to catch what he might say, while we all know that only golden words fell from his lips. It was a pleasant journey. There was never a more congenial set of fellows. Now going over the broad fields of Systematic Theology, now drinking from the cool, refreshing streams of Church History ; or, perhaps, strolling- through the gardens of Homiletics, pluckii g here a beautiful flower an d gathering there another; or, better still, sitting peacefullj ' under the trees chewing dry Hebrew roots just for fun and past-time. Happy Pilgrims ! The journey is over. We look to the future and behold ! our motto — The end— not yet. hull Color: Scarlet. Motto: llav-OTi |. i,- r. Officers. Yell. Prbsidbnt, A. M. WILLIAMS.

TO tell the prosy facts about the Middle Theologs is to make it rich enough. One-half of all the good would make a book. We write a squib or two in passing. The class of 1903 was organized in October, 1900. Its men will be divided into three classes: I. Those who spend the Junior year only with us; II. Those who are married, still here; and, III. Those who want to be. Alexander was first on the roll and the first to leave and marry. Shaffer ' s smiling face no more greets us. But, perhaps, he will come again. He is in Illinois. Arthur, of Indiana, devoured Hebrew roots while among us. We regret his departure. Morgan ! Such a bashful brother, but he married a wife and of course, could not come back any more. There ' s Kimbrough, too. He was very much a lady ' s man last year. Never mind, longing hearts, he ' ll be back next year. Freeman did come into the ranks last fall, but erelong he fell out. We miss his musical voice and pleasant association. Talk about thirty per cent ! Fifty-five per cent of our class are married men. The man who married first in years is Williams, all the way from California. He is always in the lead, and is Editor of the Phcenix. But a quiet soul is he, ex- cept when he has a Bone to pick. Here comes a trio of benedicts from Missouri. Stapleton is staple stuff. He may ask hard questions, but he gets it down pat before he allows Dr. Foster to proceed. And, by the way, he became a D.D. during his middle year ( Daddy of a Daughter ' 1 ). Jenkins is ready for an argument. A hard student, an admirer of Missouri Valley, but always in line in Cumber- land. His lessons are well prepared, especially for Dr. Bell. Just hear Sherman as he rolls those Greek words off his tongue. And here ' s dignity, too. Sherman is all right, he is a Dr. Black of years to come. One married man from Texas, Gray. He is the Art Editor of the PhoSNIX. Look out for the Middle Class ; Editor-in- chief and Art Editor of the Phoenix of 1902. How ' s that ! Gray is the peer of any man. Hudiburg, of Tennessee, the biggest preacher in Nashville, winds up the list of married men. Hudiburg is especially fond of oratory ( ? ). See Prof. Stowe. Boydstun begins the list of single men. To him disputation affords satisfaction. Boydstun does not mingle with the ladies much, though he has recently become very fond of Bates. He seldom misses a class, and almost as seldom reaches the recitation room in time for roll-call. Eddins, our worthy classmate and Librarian, is always on duty. Do wrong? No, Eddins would not harm any one. Well may we call him honest Abe. Lookout for Haggard ! He is a lady ' s man. He can ' t tell why, but he just naturally loves the ladies. Just imagine him on his knees before a fair one, making apology ; but poor boy, ' twas all in vain, for she would only reply, Mr. Hag- gard, I can ' t love you any more. McCluney is just about the worst there is. He frequently becomes so badly Harris-ed ( harassed } that he loses him- self in — what ? In joy supreme. Myers! He was very quiet last year, except in class, and for his record here, see Dr. Bell. Who said he took off Williams ' shoe? This year the Ohio wheelman is in the whirl and everybody, especially the dear mothers of Lebanon, speak well of him. Side by side we labor in perfect harmony, and may that harmony continue until we, one by one, shall be relieved of earth ' s joys and sorrows. 70 Yell.

Not in class picture. Junior Jingles. WHEN the eyes of eager generations trace the paths by which the greater lights of the twentieth century have come, they will recognize the Theological Class of 1904, as having come that way. Great historians will seek for all events of their lives, and will turn to the pages of the Phcenix for information and to see the picture. Six-volume biog- raphies of each will be written. From these the aspiring youth will learn how to rise from the conditions of the hay- seed to the first pulpits of the land. Our professors are aware of the merits of this class and spend much time expatiating thereon and telling what splen- did professors they have. The Juniors outshine all other classes as the search light outshines the lightning bug. They have come from many quarters : the fog swamps of Arkansas ; from the clay hills of Tennessee ; from the howling wilder- ness of Indian Territory ' , and from the land of the sunset. They come like a swarm of grasshoppers, sweeping everything in their path. Nothing checks their course : like Carrie Nation and George Washington, they hew down and smash every- thing that resists them. The country and the Church have just begun to recognize the ability of this class. They are looking to- us as deliver- ers. Already the class have given directions as to the University ' s management, what doctrines shall be taught, and now they move forward to take hold of the General Assembly andshake the kinks out of it. Let the Juniors go on ! They have scaled the first height and climbed a mountain or two since. Surely they will climb up and onward till, as a great mountain in eruption illumines the surrounding country so the class of 1904 will il- luminate the world. ;= fi ;,-« ' r --i ' w i Carutkers Literary Society, Caruthers Society. : quam vider ilim.

Surely they builded better than they knew, who, twelve years ago, went forth under the motto: £sse quam videri malim, and declared themselves an association for the purpose of developing their minds, increasing their store of literary knowledge, and improvement in the arts of elocution and debate To those who have gone before, and whose hearts can feel the maternal throb, Caruthers sends greetings. Great and magnified her honors have continued in these latter days. She looketh well to the ways of her household ; her prestige is established ; her merits are unquestioned ; and her destiny sure. Caruthers alone lays claim to honors in the oratorical field. S. P. Pryor, in 1900, winning for Cum- berland in the state contest. The heritage bequeathed the present members was dignity and a glorified name. They have not been last, but are things added unto day by day. For these and other reasons, Caruthers shall remain— verily, such things were not born to die. 77 Heurethelian Society. Motto : TviiBi tuv Ob Officers, 1901-02. Presidents W. HAGGARD L. B. GRAY J. W.

WOZENCRAFT THE HEURETHELIAN SOCIETY began its work in 1844. Before the war it had accumulated a library of five-hun- dred volumes, but has since donated it to the University. For twenty years the society published a magazine, The Student. For the past four years a lecture course has been conducted that has reflected credit upon the society and been a means of culture to the student body. With the proceeds of these lectures the society has furnished and improved its present handsome quarters, which, when they were entered four years ago, were in the rough. Plans are now on foot to furnish Heurethelian Hall as elegantly as the best in the South. The literary work of the society has always been of the highest order. For a number of years most of its members have been A.B. or B.S. graduates, and come to us with four or five years ' experience in society work. Among the Alumni of Heurethelian Society are men in every station in life, who are reflecting credit on the society by the success which they have achieved. Among our honorary members we are proud to mention the members of the Sans Sotici Social Club. Philomathean Society. Mottoes: Might makes right. Be sure you ' re right ; then go ahead. THIS society was organized January 31, 1848, with eleven charter members. It is an incorporated body, with all rights common to such organizations. It is the most exclusive literary society in the University, receiving law students only as members. The object of the society is to develop its members along literary and scientific lines, to develop them into orators and argufiers, and incidentally to hold elections. Indeed, the expression Philomathean Election has come to be a synonym of cunning and force of arms. Nearly all the 1,991 graduates of the Law School of Cumberland have received worthy inspiration and an invaluable training in this society. Her lists include the names of the state ' s and the nation ' s distinguished men. Officers, 190 J -02. Presidents Recording Secretaries R. F. TATAHAM R. T. CAMERON O. A. GRAVES I. H.

IN the year 1841, Mr. George Williams, a worthy Christian young- man, was employed in a large mercantile house in Lon- don. He, with one other young man of the firm, in which were emploj-ed eighty young men, held prayer meetings and invited the other young men of the firm, who were opposed to religious meetings of any kind. This prayer meeting gave rise to the first Young Men ' s Christian Association, in the year 1844. In 1856, a college association was organized at Cumberland University, the first college association ever formed, with the renowned Gen. A. P. Stewart as president. In 1881 this association was firmly established and has since been one of the leading factors in our University. W. F. HEREFORD. MRS. W. F. HEREFORD. Our Representatives in Japan— College Missionaries. The College Missionary Movement History. IN 1898 Mr. A. E. Perry, a student in Missouri Valley College, conceived the idea of the Cumberland Presbyterian schools uniting- to send a college missionary. An executive committee of five, one from each of our five largest schools, was appointed by the Board of Missions. Mr. Perry was made Secretary. Since then the movement has continued to grow in the schools. Year ' s Work in Cumberland. The year ' s work in Cumberland has been very successful. Frank L. Wear, member of Senior Theological Class, and Secretary of College Missionary movement, by his untiring energy and earnest presentation of the question to each class of the University, secured a very liberal contribution for the support of our college missionary, Mr. W. F. Hereford. The amount subscribed was $540. William Francis Hereford, College Missionary. Wil liam Francis Hereford was born at New Market, Ala., March 2, 1873; professed religion and united with the Cum- berland Presbyterian Church in 1886. In 1894 he was taken under care Of Robert Donnell Presbytery and was ordained in 1898. He entered Cumberland University in January, 1895, took the A.B. degree in 1898, and the B.D. degree in 1902. He was accepted by the Board of Missions as College Missionary in 1902 and will sail for Japan this fall. In Other Institutions. This movement was not confined to Cumberland. Frank L. Wear, a Senior Theolog of Cumberland University and Secretary 7 of the College Missionary Movement, visited the following colleges and secured subscriptions for the movement: Bethel College, Tenn.; Maddox Seminary, Little Rock, Ark.; Trinity University, Texas; Texas Female College, Weather- ford, Texas; Missouri Vallev College, Marshall, Mo.; Lincoln College, Lincoln, 111.; Waynesburg College, Waynesburg, Pa.; Auburn Seminary, Auburn, Ky.; Southern Female College, West Point, Miss. The total amount obtained from these schools in $858. Y. M. C A. Conventions.

To the untiring efforts and the skillful training of the coach, Mr. Kuykendall, the success that was attained is due.

HE brilliant prospects for a winning team this spring are seldom greater in any University, and if future developme prove as favorable as the present indicates, there will be no reason for Cumberland ' s bowing down before any champion. Our baseball career has no bad record. For many years we were victors on many a field. Again our latent energy fires itself. So, with happy reflections on the successful past, we begin the per- formance of our present duties with the determination that every game shall be won.

ALTHOUGH Cumberland has sent but two regular representatives to state contests, yet she has succeeded in winning the medal once. Her successful orator was S. P. Pryor, who won the honor at Nashville in 1900. He was born in Marion County, Tenn., on August 17, 1875. In 1896 he entered the ministry and has since been fitting himself for his chosen profession. He entered Cumberland in September. 1899, and at once took a prominent place in all departments of student life. One of his first steps was his entrance into Caruthers Literary Society, where he zealously practiced oratory and debating. After winning in the local contest, he carried off the prize at Nashville. He was asked to represent Ten- nessee in the Inter-state meet at Mont Eagle, and did so, but was defeated. The Winner of the Local, 1902. B. H. Miller, the winner in Cumberland ' s contest, is a native of Idaho. During his earlier years large herds of cattle and roving bands of Indians were more common to him than trolley cars or Shakespearean plays. The whiz of the lariat and the dismal yelp of the cayote were more familiar to his ears than the thump of the piano or the shrill whistle of the locomotive. He early resolved to study law, and finally arrived in Lebanon where he will be graduated from the Law School with the outgoing Senior Class. Contestants for D. A. R. Medal W. J. CALLAN J. W. BARRITT E. H. FITZPATRICK The Winner. W. J. Callan, the winner of the D. A. R. Medal, was born and reared in DeKalb County, Ala. He entered the Fresh- man Class as a candidate for the A.B. degree, in January, 1899. After spending two years teaching in Alabama, he returned to Lebanon in September, 1901, and entered the Sophomore Class. Mr. Callan is a son of Rev. W. J. Callan, who is an alumnus of Cumberland University, having been graduated with the class of 18S9. S. B. PRYOR. B H. MILLER. ? U; n $ 4 v jv Officers. C. D. STEWART . President J.

It might have been otherwise had we had a full house. In one meeting we started to discuss politics, but decided not to proceed. We find some things exasperating in Sunny Tennessee ; for instance, laws against carrying firearms. Why, are we compelled to run a man to the woods and say to him : Will you be so kind, sir, as to stand here while I run to the near-by farmhouse for a gun with which to shoot you ! But we shall soon return to Old Kentucky where every man may carry his own gun and corkscrew. The introduction of auto- mobiles has infringed on our rights.

THE Bible Circle has been iii active operation since its organization in 1886. The objects are primarily, the systematic study of the Bible, the practice of conducting- religious meetings, and the promotion of social union between the members, consisting chiefly of the wives of the Theological professors and students. The former members now filling posts of duty as ministers ' wives and missionaries, attribute much of their success under divine influence in Bible teaching and church work to study and training in this Circle. The members in attendance during the past year were twenty, as follows: Mrs. R. E. Sherman Mrs. G. W. Martin Mrs. Reeves Mrs. L. b; Gray Mrs. L. J. Coats Mrs. P. M. Simms Mrs. J. V. Stephens Mrs. A..

Primarily, the object of this club, as revealed in its bi-weekly meetings, is to call the attention of the students to the fact that French, Spanish and Ger- man are still living languages. An important aim, also, is to develop the conversational powers of the mem- bers in each one of these tongues and to arouse a general interest among the student body in their study. M. embers. J. C.

Since the removal of this department to Memorial Hall, these commodious buildings have been used exclusivel} ' for dormitory and refectory purposes. Here some of the greatest preachers in the country have fed; great lawyers have also grown fat here; and the Hall has contrib- uted beef and bone to many other callings.

McClellan IN these days Texans are abroad in the land after a peculiar fashion, and Cumberland, in her educational round-up, has branded fourteen of the herd. Something- windy is expected ; hear us while we boast. Few empires of the world exceed our state in size. Three natural zones are held within its grasp. Wafted by the very winds of freedom, Texas floats upon a sea of oil. She is voung and poorly tutored and her feet are brown and bare, And the winds from off the prairie tan her cheek and toss her hair. Her days of civil dudgeon are over ; her race of boots and spurs are quite extinct; the cowboy is no longer seen in the land. They ' ve all been carried to the skies on twisting forms of wind. Her vast resources have alread} ' made her a com- petitor for commercial supremacy, and her soil, half cultivated by nature, furnishes an asylum to the impoverished of the earth. That Texas soon will rule the world is writ clear and large in the signs o f the times, and this is why our hearts have turned to stars. She has fought and she has conquered, and her triumph is her rest, And the great world knows the glory of the Empress of the West. 125 President Sec. and Tkeas Officers. P. M. SIMMS R. E.

Sherman A. M. Williams H. S. Cark History. THE popular organization known as the Married Men ' s Club, had its origin in a desire on the part of the married men of the University to make an or- ganized effort in behalf of their less fortunate fellow students. Never, in the history of the University, has a club or organization of any kind been more popular. This is especially true of the Senior Theologs, all of whom are looking forward to membership. Applications are coming in fast. The reason for this popularity is because the members of the club, and especially the candidates, receive very marked attention in social and ecclesiastical circles, especially the latter. One qualification reads : No Lawyer will be admitted to membership who falls below e ' ighty per cent in homeliness. Thus far only one new member has been received from that Department, though we have had many applications. Another qualification reads: No Theolog will be received who does not furnish the written consent of his Presbytery ; he must also show visible means of support for two. Only one new member has come to us from this Department. Candidate from any other De- partments must show written consent of his Pa and Ma. Purpose. It shall be the purpose of this organization to — 1. Promote peace and good fellowship. 2. Encourage stealing a inarch on the Powers. 3. Encourage Betting on Futures among the Sans Souci. 4. Have Hallelujah Times quadra-occasionly. 5. Et Cetera. On the Social Strand. The world is full of forces strong and great, Which seen and unseen play on human lives, And drive them struggling onward to their fate. Oblivion, which, all too soon, arrives. The shell that first upon the sand is tossed, And then washed out into the unknown sea Is polished, brightened, tinted, cleansed and lost To all its former rough impurity. The tossing of this life on social strand A force unseen, deluding, yet secure. Is but for every one an ordained hand To chasten and present him bright and pure. Ode to Sans Souci. HERE may be no home duties, But I should like to see The girl that would not take time To go to Sans Souci. They almost know before time, ' Twill be coffee, chocolate or tea, And yet they never fail to fix To go to Sans Souci. The queerest thing to me is None of them seem to be Ever too tired or ever too sick To go to Sans Souci. There must be pecks of pleasure : T o talk, eat, laugh, Oh gee ! I ' d miss most any old thing To go to Sans Souci. They used to give receptions To bonton devotee, But this year there seem to be none Of this class for Sans Souci. But, nevertheless, one Saturday, The motion was made, you see, To have the swellest of the i Once more by Sans Souci. The motion was hardly stated, Till Hear me ! Hear me !

When the wild waves of debate Had rolled back into the sea, The vote was taken, and only two, Said Swell for Sans Souci. The hearts of the boys were heavy, Laden with solemnity.

Girls— Yes, let ' s go ; perhaps the boys are out by this time. 129 The University Social Whirl. Miss Heurethelian Entertains. THE Heurethelian Society is an example of a wide-awake, active and aggressive organization. Shortly after the opening of the Theological Department they gave, in their new hall, a pleasing reception to the new students. Many of Lebanon ' s Beautiful were there, and this is another thing which shows the wisdom and forethought of this society. The programme was unique and attractive. Refreshments of the daintiest kind were served by the lady honorary members. Man) ' and varied were the toasts responded to. The occasion served its purpose. The new Theologs were impressed with the society ' s greatness and proceeded at once to join. No, not all of them, for Wilhoit joined Caruthers. Faculty Reception to New Students. After many efforts the dear old Chancellor succeeded in getting the weather, the Faculty and the Color Guard all in harmony on the subject of The Reception. The night of the 22nd of October was a perfect one, and my, what an attendance ! The new Mitchell Library was ablaze with light, and the soft murmuring of subdued voices mingled with the merry laughter of happy young people, made the scene an enchanted one. Beautiful faces, graceful forms, fasci- nating smiles, coy glances accomplished their purpose, leaving the new students stunned and helpless. The Color Guard did their work well, showing great skill in keeping the Junior Theologs off their trains. Judge Green was at his best, and the Darlings and Dear Boys all left happy. However, Keeton would not ride all the way home, but was dropped at the corner. Yoshibumi Abe Receives. The first night of 1902 was duly celebrated in a unique way. Mrs. Fite, on West Main Street, kindly gave over her parlors to a strange gathering ! And such a gathering ! There were short men, tall men, fat men, lean men, handsome men, and men not so handsome. In fact, it was the Senior Theological Class. Somehow, though, a Junior of prominence got in it, and there was also present a Middler known to be hand y with his pen. Of course the two last-named gentlemen felt awkward. The programme for the evening was startling in its strangeness. Such prophecies, such hopefulness ! Each man began from that time on to draw a $2,500 salary. But ' twas a thoroughly enjoyable affair ! Mr. Abe showed his ability and tact for entertaining. Everything came as a pleasant surprise. The host served the daintiest of refresh- ments, and the guests showed themselves thoroughly appreciative of the good time. Kappa Sigma. On Hallowe ' en night the Kappa Sigma Fraternity gave their annual Hallowe ' en party. Particulars were not furnished the Phoenix, but if the party was anything like its predecessors it was a complete success. It was given at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. Q. Lillard, and this alone bespeaks Pi Kappa Alpha. The night of the 27th of March was chosen by the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity for their annual reception. It certainly eclipsed any former receptions that this Fraternity had ever given. On that evening the young ladies of the town and school were given their first glimpse of the newly furnished rooms of this Frat. The social hour and the three-course banquet, with the frequent visiting to the frappe bowl, were not the only features of the evening. A unique programme was carried out. There was first a mock initiation in inky blackness, and everyone felt a relief when the lights were turned on and the Fraternity quartette sang a spirited song. The refreshments were next served and the eloquent and felicitous responses to toasts were unparalleled. During the banquet the quartette sang, and in the wee sma ' hours there was wafted to the ears of the happy departing crowd the delightful strains of ' ' Sweet Dreams, Ladies, and the laughing thank you and very good time called back over fair shoulders were conclusive proof of the evening ' s success. To the College Missionaries. May 1, at Memorial Hall, the largest social function of the season, a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Hereford, mis- sionaries-elect to Japan, was held.

SPEAKING of progress, the students of Cumberland University have taken more advance than ever before. This year they are giving- four hundred dollars to their own missior handsome annual, but it is not of these thing ' s I would speak now. Before 1897 there w monthly college journal of no great proportions. The last issue of this journal appeared steps in the last three years -y and are getting out this intermittently published a 1897 and then stopped. In 1899 the enterprising students set on foot a movement looking to the establishing of a weekly paper. The plan materialized and the Cumberland Weekly was begun to be published. It was then, as we have it now, a large, four-page weekly, giving all the news of the University. The first Editor-in-Chief was Phelps Darby, of Indiana, and it speaks well for him when we say that none of his successors have seen fit to change the purpose, plan and scope of the paper. From time to time there have been special editions giving in greater detail the workings of the institution and the student body. Commencement editions are also issued. It is the purpose of the Board of Editors now to make the last issue of each month a magazine containing the best thought of the student body on the various issues of the day. The paper has had splendid success The proceeds each year are turned into the treasury of the Athletic Association. In its make-up, style and appearance it will challenge comparison with any Southern college paper. The editors who have labored heartily and without remuneration for the success of this paper since its foundation are: Phelps Darby, W. K. Howe, W. C. Dyer, Julian Fields, F. L. Wear. The business managers who have also given their time free have been: W. L. Hamblin, Carl Gilliland, Floyd Poe, H. P. Browning, F. D. Waddell, J. C. Field. 10 137 5 £ C Literary The Physician. THE physician, once a luxury, is now a household necessity ; every family must have one or more. His prophylactics and therapeutics are among- the indispensahles. If Johnnie has the thrush or Josephine the colic his presence, diag- nosis, prog-nosis and physic are required. Mother might have given Josephine some paregoric, but it is infinitely better to have the physician come and give her tincura opei campliorata. If he gives us May-apple root, yellow-percoon root, black-snake root, calomel, or elixir of vitriol, we dismiss him at once and send for a later edition. When the later edition gives us podophyllum piltatum, Hydrastis canadensis, cimicefuga race- mosa, hydrargiri chloridum mite, or acidum sulphuricum aromaticum, our gullibility has been satisfied ; we know he under- stands his business; the remedies are more palatable; the therapeutic effects are a decided success, and we are soon restored to our many friends. The doctor is a genus indigenous to every soil and clime. Species are a product of evolution. He began as the exor- cist of a demon, and assisted by natural selection, moulded and modified by environment, issues forth as our modern prod- uct. This is the only exception in the universe to the survival of the fittest. Whether yon elect the allopath, homeopath or osteopath, it is all the same in the end— all paths lead but to the grave. In China the very dull students who fail to pass literary examinations make doctors ; in this country they make lawyers. Many have been the theories of disease. Originally men were puppets of the gods or victims of demons. The moon once caused insanity ; of late this privilege has been delegated to mothers-in-law and wives. In modern times most dis- eases come from associations with bad company -microbes. The terrorizing influence of the germ theory is such that no young man will under any possible circumstances kiss his best girl — on the lips. You know from recent newspaper reports that the mosquito has been convicted for maliciously carrying concealed about his person, to the terror of all civilized com- munities, more yellow fever and malarial microbes than are needed for home consumption ; and for incorrigibility he has been declared an outlaw. The medical world has made some progress in the last half century, not on account of their own intellectual caliber, but on account of the recklessness of patients. To illustrate : For measles they once put the patient in a tight room and gave him hot teas. When a patient was so reckless as to leave doors open and drink cold water, and so fortunate as to recuperate, they complimented his good constitution. Now they know that hot teas and improper ventilation will kill half the patients. The Bible says, a tree is known by its fruit. Not so with the doctor; he is known by the holes he makes in the ground. With all his faults the world loves him still, and the physician is the only man of the community so much appre- ciated that, after having retired, his friends will ride five miles, on a cold, rainy night in January, in order to wrap him up. In Springtime. At the approach of tranquil spring When the birds beg-in to sing, And the woods with music ring-, We feel a gentle wooing-; Then the buds begin to swell. And the flowers break the spell With a music which they tell And we begin our dreams pursti O, that subtle thrill of joy That comes to every girl and boy, And their brighter hours decoy, While o ' er life ' s sea they ' re rowing ' Tis a thing they should beware. Guarding with jealous care If in the future they would share A life with peace overflowing. If in dreamland they will sta} r Dreaming dreams ea;h passing da} ' , Then be assured that they may Ever live in a state of sad repining: But, if on the other hand They ' d tread a brighter strand. These dreams they must disband, And ever be their life to duty ' sign- J The Lover ' s Visit. ' Tis evening, at the sunset ' s radiant glow — My heart ' s with rapture filled, in boundless joy, In gladness, in delight, in ecstasy, I go To see my Love, a maiden fair and coy. The footstep soft, the gentle glance of eyes Of brown, the magic touch of loving hand, The calm, clear voice in accents tender rise — And now I dwell in charming Fairyland. The moments pass, brief hours are gone in haste, My heart has felt the joy of throbbing love- On, why cannot those precious moments last, And make complete the joy like that above? Good night ! ' Tis spoken now, so soft and low, Its music in my ears sounds sweetly sad ; ' Tis now that from her presence dear I know That I must part. ' Twas Love, good night ! I said. The stars look down with a thousand sparkli: They peer within, far in, my inmost soul ; It ' s dark, sad chamber now illumined lies, And lo ! my Lover ' s likeness clear and bold. Judgment. ig eyr Scene I. Who comes there? A Theological student. From what Church? The Cumberland Presbyterian Church. O yes ; you are from Lebanon. They don ' t often come here from Lebanon, unless a student dies. How is old Cumberland University ? She has the brightest outlook of her history ; she ' s plum- ing her pinions for such a flight as was not dreamed of ten years ago. Well, let us have your history ; were 3 r ou married before finishing your education ? No, siree ; I was loyal to the powers that be ; and their imperial dispensation did not permit. What was the attitude of the powers to the married Sovereign indifference and contempt. Did you have a sweetheart while in school ? Oh, yes. How often did you call ? W-e-1-1, not over t-h-r-e-e times per week. I always went Sunday afternoon, but Sunday is not part of the week. A church that forbids marriage among its probationers, I presume, assisted very liberally in their education. How much did you receive annually ? Yes, sir; I never got less th an fifteen dollars, and once thirty-five. The Church had a right to dictate to her boys ; her membership never gave less than seven cents per cap- ita annually for education. Gabriel, give this man a harp. Scene II. Who comes next, another Theological student? Yes, sir ; I ' m from the Seminary at Lebanon. Well, give an account of yourself. What sort of a fellow have you been ? I do not like to talk about myself ; you will find it all on your books, I presume. Did you marry before finishing your education ? Yes, sir. Did you not know that that was positively forbidden by your Church ? Yes ; I was aware of the fact. Then why did. you marry ? W-e-1-1, I was 21 years old. I thought a fellow could do better with a wife on his hands than with a girl on his heart Of course, you soon saw your mistak e and repented in sackcloth and ashes? Y-e-s, s-i-r ; I must confess that I did. It is so often the case that we make a mistake and can ' t see it at the time, and then afterward spend a lifetime in regret. I have long since seen my mistake, and very sorely regretted that I didn ' t marry six months sooner. What per cent of Theological students were married ? Thirty per cent. How did that compare with other Churches ? We led the whole world, sir. How do you account for the large per cent of married ? The agitation, the agitation. The Episcopal Church never agitate the question, and they have not a married man in school. Bind this man hand and foot and cast him into outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, where the lion roareth and the whang- doodle mourneth for its firstborn, ah ! Selah. The Rainy Day. The wind blows loud with angry sigh. The sky with clouds is overcast ; And, as the mist goes hurrying by, .The rain comes down in torrents fast. Slow hours, sad hours, so long, so lone, Pass by in wretched dreariness ; While I, when the darksome day is gone, Must lay me down in weariness. ' Tis true, though dark the day has been, Yet in thought one rav of light has beamed Upon my secret soul within, As oft of you, my love, I ' ve dreamed. ' Twas your bright eyes, and your fair face, And your sweet angel presence near, That did my heart ' s despair erase, And made the sky within so clear. And, when in slumber I repose In blissful dreams you ' ll still be seen ; O, sweet the moments love only knows, Those moments of joy supreme within. Cumberland ' s Course. The great river has its sources far back in the tall moun- tains. For the first hundred miles, gurgle., trickle, murmur, splash and plunge are the only words in the vocabulary of the rivulets. The lowlands are reached. Many streamlets unite to make the river. Past many a farm, by village and city, the sluggish river drags on. And now at the mouth of the valley the gentle hand of Nature has placed some rude obstructions. Over these the mighty torrent leaps. Power is the product. Civilization ' s wheels are belted here. She builds her house and stays. Like this is Cumberland ' s course. She took her rise far back in the rugged heights of ante-bellum days. The splash and dash of her youthful years was all that broke the silence in our Southern educational wilderness. Further down the valley the jealous sa} r , Cumberland hardly moves, and her admiring friends fear stagnation. Mean- while the river widens and deepens and her course is on. Thousands are blessed. Now the banks are higher, the current swifter — we are just above the falls. There are obstructions here, but they are means to Cumberland ' s greater usefulness and greater glory. The Greater Univer- sity is to bless the world to a greater degree. And we shall remember that the tard3 ' Yesterday and the eventful To- Day are factors in the problem which is to work out the magnificent To-Morrow. Sons of Cumberland, three thousand strong, come and look upon things at hand and those about to be. You knew your Alma Mater in her gloom ; you shall know her in her glory. Meanwhile she will be the dear old Cumber- land, only larger grown. J Fratres. Fraternity ! I love thee well ; At thought of thee my heart doth sw And call to mind the golden days, When in thy home we sang the lavs That knit our souls together. Fraternity ! thy lessons taught, Full many a time, with danger fraught, Will linger long in memory ' s cell. Teach me to do each task set well, Though mountains tower before my eyes Fraternity! within thy walls, I hear again the merry calls, The laugh upon each man in turn, The praise and honor each doth earn. From manly hearts and earnest minds Fraternity! thy tender love Of man for man is from above., And doth not cease within thy bounds You set, but reaches broader grounds To bless the world of humankind. Fraternity ! could they who ' d harm Thee, imderstand thy spirit warm, The things that they in thee despise, Would color change, and in their eyes A roseate hue take on. Love. Is it beauty in thy face, Or the radiant eye ? Is it found in lines of grace, Can you in the secret spy ? Does it spring from mind and heart, Or an innate spirit kin ? Should the feelings play a part, And the affections always win ? Grace and beauty, heart and mind, These do all the love-knot tie, Judgment, then, with these combined Safely casts the happy die.
