Autobiography DITOIt : ■ IIA ' E BEEN ASKED to write something of ray history foi- your book. TiiK. Ph(I:nix. ami I jifladly respond. Let lue bejjin. lilie all other f reat writers, with my birth. But why mention my birth V Every one knows that I was born some time, and tliey know that I could not help it. eitlier. Hut I will tell you the dale, anyway, of my befjinninfjf. It was in 1842 that I bejran to e. ist. You see that I am quite old. Very few of my acquaintances in the South have lived as lonjjT as I. Several Yankees w ith their sturdj ' and aggressive policies have lived longer than I. Not only am I old, but there are other things at)out me which are stranger than that. The older I get the younger I become. Instead of growing weaker I am getting stronger. I can now feel the blood of youth surging through my veins like intoxicating wine. It makes me vigoi-ous. I long to do something reckless as in my younger days. A new sensation is stealing over me : I am ready for some new venture, such as 1 was wont to make in former times. I am of the Di ' . .lekyll and Mi-. Hyde tyi)e, except 1 am four [jersons instead of two. I liegan the experiment when quite young. I tii ' st ti-iod tin- two i-hai-- iicter act and succeeded beyond my expectations. I took the names of Hon. Mi Law and J ' ldf. Litei-ary. This proved such a marked success I thought that I would try a third person and be known as three different characters and bj- three different names. So I assumed the role of Dr. Theological. The venture was a trying one, but I succeeded. For many yeai-s I have been known bj- all thi ' ee of these names, and most people thought me three dilVercnt persons. Often- times have I laughed in my sleeve as I listened to discussions and wranglings as to which was the greatest, the Hon. Mr. Ljiw, Prof. Literary or Di ' . Theological, knowing all the while that I was all three of the persons of whom they were talking. As I have already .said, j-outh ' s V)lood is in my veins of late, and I 1ki i ' Imch up to my old tricks ag-aiii. Now, you would have expected me to lo somctliiiiL:- m-w tliis time liut I am cnn- firmed in mj ' habits and had to do the same old thing. It looked like a hazai ' dous undertaking to try to be four people at the same time, but that is what I am now doing. In this last imper- sonation I am Herr Musik, and I am sure that I will succeed. Many people think that these are four different persons, but they are all one and the same, myself. Will I succeed? I think I will. I believe that God has given me this second youth and strength so that I might give to the world this Hon. Mr. Law, this Prof. Literary, this Dr. Theological and this Herr Musik. How much longer will I live ? If I keep on feeling as I now do I will never die. But I fear that I am taking up too much space in your publication. Thanking you for j ' our kindness in letting me tell this bit of my history, I remain, Yours respectfully, Cumberland University. • . Board of Trustees Hon. a. H. Martin, Piesidtiil Lebanon. Ten A.

Her father, the Rev. F. R. Earle, was for many years President of the Cane Hill College. After graduating- from this college she went to the University of Arkansas. On the completion of her course here she was elected an instructor in the department of Modern Eanguages. During the time of her professorship here she spent her summers in the University of Chicago. This position she held for four years and then resigned in order to do some work abroad. The most of her work was done at the Sorbonne and College de France. In addition to this she spent some time in traveling in Italy and Spain. On her return she taught one year in Arkansas Cumberland College, and was then elected Professor of Modern Languages in, Cumberland Univer- sity. Although Miss Earle has held this position only a short time yet she has become universally admired and is one of the most popular teachers in the University. Miss Nellie James Childress, Assistant Librarian Miss Nellie Childress claims Kentucky as her home. After taking her regular high school work she entered Auburn Seminary, completing the classical course in June of 1900 with honors. She entered Cumberland University in September, 1901, and was immediately elected Assistant Librarian in the Mitchell Library. Throughout her entire course her work has been of the superior kind, and there are not a few among her friends who believe that she will be graduated in June, 1903, with highest honors. ' 4 Claiborne H. Bell Robert V. Fostc C. H. Bell, A.M., D.D., Missions and Apologetics CtAiBORXE H. Bell is a native of Mississippi. His education was received principally at Cumberland University, from which he graduated in 1853, receiving- the A.B. degree. Later he took his Master ' s and Doctor ' s degrees from the same institution. Immediately after the war he became president of the Union Female Seminary, at Oxford, Miss. He remained in this position until 1873, leaving the school in a flourishing condition. Dr. Bell ' s father was a missionary to the Indians, so that the doctor grew up in an atmosphere which stamped itself indelibly upon his character. This environment gave tone and color to his entire after life. For many years he was president of the Board of Missions of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Since 1884 he has been filling the Chair of Missions and Apologetics in Cumberland University. Through all. these years Dr. Bell has been sowing silently, but surely, those seed which were destined to give birth to the renewed interest in missions of to-day. To him is due that fine spirit which alone made the recent college missionary movement a success. To Dr. and Mrs. Bell the Semi- nary is indebted for the splendid museum of missions with its valuable collections. R. V. Foster, D.D., Systematic Theology Robert v. Foster is a Tennessean and a characteristic product of Lebanon. He received from Cumberland University the degrees of A.B. and D.D., and also took the reg-ular course in Union Theological Seminary, New York. His early life was spent as a teacher of mathematics in Cooper Institute. Under him studied some of the most prominent men of our church to-day. He afterwards taught in Waynesburg- College, Pennsylvania, and was for twenty years editor of the Sunday school literature of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. During the last twenty-six years he has been a teacher in the Theological Department of Cumberland University, and now holds the Chair of Systematic Theology. As a profound writer and scholar he has no equal in our church. His Systematic Theology has been pronounced by those who are competent to judge, a remarkable book. Aside from its theological and philosophical merits, the book has high literary worth. Among his shorter publications his exposition of the Lord ' s Prayer is per- haps best known. No one could sit under the teaching ' s of this man without feeling- that he was in the presence of one of earth ' s great. t V . , I Andrew H. Bucha James S. Watcrhous A. H. Buchanan, LLD., Mathematics. Dean of the College Andrew H. Buchanan was born at Boousboro, June 28, 1S2S. In addition, to hi bachelor ' s degree, Dr. Buchanan took a C.E. at Cumberland University in 1853 under Gen. A. P. Stewart, who was head of the Department of Civil Engineer- ing- at that time. When the war broke out he joined the Southern army as an engineer. Here he won his spurs and obtained wide note among his corps. In fact his surveys and reports were relied upon implicitly, never being ques- tioned. For twenty years he held a position on the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. To him also is due the magnificent geodetic survey of the State of Tennessee. He formed one of the parties which observed the solar eclipse of 1900 from Thomaston, Ga. His particular problem was first to get the length and direction of the streamers of the corona; second, to observe the shadow bands, their direction and velocity ' ; third, to make observations of the darkness, all of which was done accurately and satisfactorily. For the laLt two years he has served as Tennessee ' s representa- tive on the board to settle the dispute over the Tennessee-Virginia line. He was elected to the Chair of Mathematics in Cumberland University in 1870, and Dean of the College in 190O. Jas. S. Waterhousc, A.M., Natural Sciences Jamks S. Waterhouse is a native of Murray county, Georgia. He graduated from Cumberland University in 1S97, taking the A.B. degree. In 1897-98 he was professor of languages and science in Auburn Seminary, Auburn, Ky. In 1899 he returned to Lebanon, accepting a place as Assistant Professor of Chemistry in Cumberland Universit} ' . During this year also he received his Master ' s degree. On the resignation of Dr. Hinds he was elected to the professorship of Natural Sciences. In addition to the work Prof. Waterhouse has taken in Cumberland, he has spent several summers in the University of Chicago. In 1901 he was elected a member of the American Chemical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His abilities as a teacher are shown by the fact that his classes are per- haps the largest in the college and his courses are among the most popular. Under him the laboratories have been greatly improved and much new equipment has been added, so that his department stands the best equipped of an) ' in the college. Jas. R. Henry Finis K.ne Fa J. 1 . Henry, B.D., Practical Theology. Dean of Theological School Jas. R, Hexry came from the State of Geoi-fjia. He graduated from the Theolog-ical School in 1885, taking the degree of B.D.; also from the Union Theological Seminary, New York. After graduation in New York he spent some months in Oxford, England, in special work. In addition to traveling in England and Scotland, he spent some time on the Conti- nent. In 1890-92 he was Secretary of the Board of Education of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. After this time he made a tour of Europe, and on his return in April, 1894, he accepted the call to the Shady Avenue Church, of Pitts- burg, Pa. During his pastorate the church grew in membership from one hundred to three hundred ; the Sunday school from seventy-five to two hundred. A second church was organized which has a membership of one hundred and twenty- five. The congregation during this time cleared itself of an indebtedness amounting to $11,500, and bought additional property worth S10,S00. Mr. Henry is the representative of his Church on the executive committees of the Western Sec- tion of the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance. During his one year ' s administration of the affairs of the Seminary another member has been added to the faculty and five specialists have lectured to the students of his department on the work not covered in the regular course. F. K. Farr, C.E., B.D., Hebrew and Old Testament Interpretation Finis King Farr is from Missouri. In 1889 he graduated from the Civil Engineering School of Cumberland University, and in 1894 received the degree of B.D. from the Theological Department. In 1894-97 he attended the University of Chicago, taking special work in Hebrew. In 1895 he was called to the chair of Hebrew and Old Testament Interpreta- tion in Cumberland University. Prof. Farr was one of the editors of The Quarterly Review, a magazine published in the interest of modern theology and philosophy by Dr. L. L. Rice. He also writes the exegetical studies of the Sunday school literature in the Old Testament. One cannot read the history of Prof. Farr without at the same time reading the history of the music of Cumberland University. He has been the promoter and the life of every quartette, glee club and chorus since his connection with the institution. As a ready platform man and after-dinner speaker Prof. Farr has no equal in the University. Judge Nathan Gr Judge Walter C. Caldwell Nathan Green, LLD. Dean of Law School Judge Nathan Green was born at Winchester, Tenn., February 9, 1827. He entered Cumberland University in 1843 and was g-raduated in 1847. In the same year he entered the law department and was graduated from there two years later. For quite a while he practiced law with eininent success, uniil 1856, when he was called to fill a chair in the law depart- ment of his alma mater. The degree of I L.D. was conferred upon him by Center College, Kentucky. He was elected to the Chancellorship of the University in 1873, and held that position until his resignation in 1899. Few people know how much Cumberland University and the church at large are indebted to this man. Just at the close of the war, when the whole South had been reduced to a desert waste, it became a problem to find a man who cou d direct successfully the fortunes of a great school like Cumberland. Judge Green was the man selected. He took an unendowed school which had lost its buildings during the war and made of it one of the greatest factors in the building up of the New South. During his half century of teaching many hundreds of lawyers have been instructed by him, the majority of whom have become eminently successful, some being senators, some supreme judges, and many being in the congressional halls. W. C. Caldwell, LL.B., Constitutional Law Walter C. Caldwell is a son of Tennessee. Cumberland University conferred upon him the degrees of A.B. in 1873 and LL.B. in 1874. Immediately after graduation he formed a partnership with Maj. Robert Caldwell, of Trenton, Tenn. Mr. Caldwell became one of the leading lawyers at the bar of West Tennessee, enjoying a lucrative practice. From almost the beginning of his career he was engaged hy large corporations, and is now the attorney for the largest land corpora- tion in the South. Since beginning his practice his success in chancery work has been remarkable. Early in the eighties he was appointed to a Tennessee judgeship, and was elected in 1886 to the Supreme bench of Tennessee. Judge Caldwell is a son-in-law of Chancellor Nathan Green, having profited much by his intimate connection with that man who has moulded so many famous lawyers. He was called to the Professorship of Constitutional Law in Cumberland University in the fall of 1902. His eminent qualifications as a jurist, together with his wide-spread reputation gained from his long services on the bench, make him a valuable accession to the Law School. Edward E. Weil Robert W. Kceton E. E. Weir, A.M.. Ph.D.. Philosophy Edward E. Weir was born in Kentucky in 1854. He graduated from Cumberland University-, taking- the degrees of A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. After graduation he taught history and mathematics at Branham High School, Hopkinsville, Ky., and later was principal of Huntington High School. In 1880 he was called to the chair of Philosophy in Cumberland University, which position he now holds. He is also secretary of the college faculty. Dr. Weir is the founder of the College for Young Ladies, situated in Lebanon, which has done so much to bless the young womanhood of the South. Although he has not been principal of the school during all the twenty years of its life, yet it owes its standing as a school to him. His courses in philosophy have always been very popular, especially among those students preparing themselves for theological work. During the past few years Dr. Weir has made original research in the study known as the New Psycholog} ' , and is fitting up a new library and laboratory for that department. R. W. Keeton, A.B., Assistant in Biology Robert W. Keeton hails from the State of Mississippi. After four year ' s hard work in Webb ' s School Mr. Keeton entered Cumberland University, where he has prosecuted his studies for three years. His vacations are spent m the University of Chicago, where he is making special study in the subjects of botany and zoology. Mr. Keeton has been teaching natural sciences in the Lebanon College for Young Ladies, where his work has proved him eminently fitted for the posi- tion. His classes are the largest in that institution. The new life in athletics which Cumberland University is feeling of late is due in a large extent to the great interest taken by Mr. Keeton since his connection with the school. Winstcad P. Bone Robert G. Pearson W. p. Bone. A.M., New Testament Greek and Interpretation WiNSTEAD P. Bone was born in the State of Texas in 1860. Though a fanner lad, yet he early formed a determination that he would become an accomplished scholar. His first coUeg-e work was done in Trinity University, where he took the regular classical course. The following ' year he entered Cumberland University taking three years of theological work. He followed this up with other courses in Union Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago. This was of great advantage to him. the bustling of city life forming a marked contrast to the habits of secluded Lebanon. Not yet feeling that he was equipped to begin his life ' s work, Prof. Bone decided to spend some time abroad. The most of his work was done at Berlin, where he received his Master ' s degree. In addition to this he made the most of extensive traveling on the Continent. He furnishes the exegetical studies of the Sunday school studies of the Cumberland Pres- byterian Church when the ' occur in the New Testament. For several 3 ' ears he has filled the chair of New Testament Greek and Interpretation in the Theological Department. During this time also he has served as Librarian and Secre- tary of the faculty. I . G. Pearson, D.D., English Bible and Evangelistic Methods Robert G. Pearson was born on a farm near Starksville, Miss., where he learned many practical and useful lessons. He received his early training at a military school located at Aberdeen, Miss In 1869 he entered Cooper Institute, graduat- ing from there in 1875. Among his classmates were many of the most prominent men of the church to-day. After finish- ing his course here he took the theological work at Cumberland University. Though Dr. Pearson was eminently suc- cessful as a pastor, yet he early manifested a special talent for evangelistic work. Believing that here lay his particu- lar field of labor he has since devoted his life to the saving of the young manhood of America. At first he worked especially in his church, but as the demands for his services increased he broadened his field, spending some of the best years of his life in the North and East. Besides his qualifications as an evangelist. Dr. Pearson brings to his work the accumulated knowledge of a keen observer who has spent much time in European travel. Some years ago Cumberland University conferred upon him the degree of D.D. During this last year he was called to the chair of English Bible and Evangelistic Methods. Mr. Moody said of him that he was the greatest living Bible preacher. Laban Lacy Rice William D. McLaughlii L. L. Rice, Ph.D., English Language and Literature Laba - Lacy Rice was born in Dixon, Ky., October 14, 1870. He received the decree of A.B. from Cumberland University in 1891, and Ph.D. in 1894. During ' 93 and ' 94 he taug-ht at Auburn Seminary, putting the school on a much surer basis than it had ever been before. He resigned this position to teach Eng-lish in Cumberland University, in ' 94. From 1896 to 1898 he served as associate editor of The Cumberland Pi-esbyterian and was recalled to the chair of English in ' 98, which position he now holds. As a teacher Dr. Rice has few equals. His lectures and literary criticism have been such as to lead his friends to believe that some enduring work may crown his later years. In the spring of 1902 he was called to the head of the English department of the James Millikin University ' , but his love for Cumberland kept him in his place at Lebanon. To him is due the credit of having edited successfully the first high-class magazine on theology, science and literature in our denomination. W. D. McLaughlin. A.M., Ph.D., Latin and Greek William D. McLaughlin is a loyal son of Alabama. He left his own state and came to Tennessee, where he entered Cum- berland University and took three degrees, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. In 1870 he was called to the chair of Latin and Greek in Cumberland University, and is still holding that position to the satisfaction of trustees and students alike. For a mix- ture of the scholar and humorist Prof. McLaughlin cannot be excelled. Greek and Latin and Sanskrit, which to the ordinary teacher and pupil are dry and painful, are, under this man ' s instruction, made live, interesting and useful. A profound scholar, a keen observer, and yet a humorist, Prof. McLaughlin holds a place which will never be filled by another in Cumberland University. He has had many calls to more lucrative fields, but his loyalty to the school and church of his choice kept him here in this, the best school of the land, as he terms it. John Vant Stephens Frank Jay Slowc J. V. Stephens, D,D., Ecclesiastical History John VA T Stephens was born in southern Missouri. His colleg-e education was received at Lincoln, 111., graduating: with an A.B. degree. He is also a g-raduate of the Theologfical Department of Cumberland University. In addition to his work in Cumberland he spent some time in Union Seminary, New York City, In the spring of 1901 Trinity University conferred upon him the degree of D.D. as a recognition of his splendid scholarship. Dr. Stephens was for a long time Secretary of the Board of Missions of his church, and is also author of a number of books which are remarkable for the knowledg-e which they contain of the history and polity of the Cumberland Presb ' terian Church. Among these books his Digest has reached the largest circulation, and is the recognized authority on the subjects treated. Dr. Stephens is now, by request of the General Assembly of his church, engaged in writing a history of missions of that church. He is one of the representatives of his branch of the great Presbyterian familj ' ia their Alliance. For the last ten years he has filled the chair of Church History in the Theological Department of Cumberland University. F. J. Stowc, B.D., O.M.. Oratory Frank Jay Stowe was born at Lockport. 111., in 1868. From early youth his one passion has been to be an orator. In 1895 he received the degree of Bachelor of Oratory from Emerson College, Boston, and in the following year he received his Master ' s degree. Prof. Stowe has taught in Lyndon Institute, and also in Waynesburg, Pa. In 1899 he received the degree of B.D. from Cumberland. Immediately after graduation he was elected Professor of Oratory, and has since held that position. During this last fall, at a meeting of the Southern Oratorical Association, Prof. Stowe was elected Treasurer. Through the interest and work of Prof. Stowe, the faculty and trustees have created a separate department in the institution, calling it the Cumberland University School of Oratory, and Prof. Stowe has been made Dean. A continuation of his past work will insure him success in the future. Paris Marion Simms George W. Martin p. M. Simms, A.B., B.D., Registrar Paris Marion Simms was born in Lawrence county, Tennessee, in 1.S69. He entered the Soplioniore class of Cumberland Universit3- in 18%, taking- the A. B. degree in 1899. The following- fall he began his theological course, receiving his B D. deg-ree in Ma3 ' , 1902. During- the six years ' stay at Cumberland Mr. Simms received many honors from the hands of his fellow students, being President of Heurethelian Society and one of the editors of the college paper. He was for two 3 ' ears Superintendent of the University Dormitory, where he manifested those qualities of business tact and ability that afterwards secured him the position which he now holds. When the new president came to take charge of affairs at Cumberland he immediately added a Registrar to the management of the Universit3 ' . Upon looking for the right man to fill this place he had no hesitancy in selecting Mr. Simms. The plans of the Registrar are colossal, and the future alone can tell how well he will succeed. G. W. Martin, B.S., Endowment Agent Georgb W. Martin was born in the old Volunteer State of Tennessee. His college education was received at the Univer- sity of Tennessee, from which he graduated in 1877, being the salutatorian of his class. For ten years he was an elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Chattanooga, during four years of which time he was postmaster, hav- ing received his appointment from President Cleveland. Although he was singularly successful as a business man, yet he became convinced that he should preach. He entered the ministry in September, 1896, at Memphis, Tenn., and there organized the Central Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In the spring of 1900 he became Endowment Agent of Cum- berland University, which position he now holds. To his energetic labors and keen insight into conditions Cumberland owes much of her present welfare and future prospects. Andrew B. Martin Eugene Fcuchtingcr A. B. Martin. LL.D., Law. Andrew B. Martin is a native Tennesseean. He was born in 1837. At an early age he cauie to Lebanon, and bj ' his indi- vidual effort obtained a liberal education. He entered the Law Department of Cumberland University in 1856, gradu- ating- three years later. He practiced his profession with marked success until 1878, when he was elected one of the law professors of his Alma Mater. In the capacity of a law professor and as President of the Board of Trustees he has served the University for many years. In the latter position he has been of untold service. In times of trouble the Doctor always had a solution for the problem. Perhaps few men have touched the rank and file of the student body so intimateh- and so truly. The Doctor is always the bovs ' friend, and is ready to do anything- to help them along-, espe- cially in athletics. The Faculty and Trustees of Lincoln University conferred on him the degree of LL.D. in 1883. Eugene Feuchtinger, A.M., Director of Music. Eugene Feuchtingek was born in Wurtemberg-, Germany, being the youngest son of Herr Franz Joseph Feuchtinger, a most renowned teacher and chorus director. In early life he was surrounded by that musical atmosphere that is the priceless inheritance of so many of his nation, but which was pre-eminently a part of the pabulum of his father ' s chil- dren. In the constant presence of the music of the great masters, interpreted by eminent performers, he chose early the musical career that has already brought him fame. After leaving the care of his father he continued his studies under the best teachers the country afforded. In coming to America he met with no immediate success in his chosen profession, but later became known as a splendid teacher. His large ideas demanded a school atmosphere and influence, and he established two conservatories of music in the North in connection with colleges of renown. Then success came to hiin, for students from Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and other great cities filled his schools. Several trips to Europe have been the occa- sions for honors to him. He has lectured and given recitals both in Eng-land and Germany with the most flattering comments. In securing Prof. Feuchtinger as tho Director of her Conservatory of Music, Cumberland University has planned wisely. President D. E. Mitchell. David Karl Mitchkli. was born February 7. i.sjo, in Mununyalitla City, Pa. His falhcr, Ur. G. ' . Mitchell, died when his son was only twelve years of age, leaving a family to be supported. During the first two years after his father ' s death, all his efforts were directed to making a living for his mother and keeping his sister in school. In 1S90 Mr. Mitchell entered the Southwestern State Normal School at California, Pa., and graduated from there in 1893 with the highest honors. Immediately upon graduation he was elected to the principalship of Roscoe. Pa., High School, which position he held until 1S95, when he was chosen editor of T if Peopli ' s Tribune, Uniontown, Pa. During the next few years, in addition to his work on the Tribune. Mr. Mitchell found time and oppor- tunity for several very successful business ventures. At the beginning of 1.S99 he entered business for him- self, and the second year his investments amounted to two hundred thousand dollars. Notwithstanding his unusual business success, believing that his life ' s work lay in other directions, he withdrew from business and entered Cumberland University in 1900, from which he was graduated in 1902. Upon graduation he was elected to the Presidency of his Alma Mater. He is perhaps the youngest college president in the United States. It would be useless to say how efficiently he has filled his position. It suffices to say that without him there could be no Greater Cumberland. During his administration two departments have been added with their corps of teachers ; also the Theological and Law Faculties have been increased. A magnificent new dormitory is being built, and the endowment has been greatly increased. The new life imparted to the University tells with what force President Mitchell impresses his personality upon all with whom he comes in contact. Special Lecturers for 1902- ' 03 Rev. Courtney H. Fcnn. Rev. Courtney Fenn was the first of the lecturers of the scholastic 3 ' ear. He is a returned missionary from China, who is now Traveling; Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. On the nig-ht of November 10, 1902, he addressed a large audience of students. Mr. Fenn was in Peking- during the terrible Boxer siege, and he related his experiences in con- nection with it, and spoke of questions relative to the cause and outcome of the great uprising. It was a clear, vivid, im- pressive discourse, producing an effect such as no article of pen could do. 0. E. Taylor. On November 16, 1902, O. E. Taylor, of Boston, lectured on Christian Citizenship to students. He. being a scientific temperance lecturer, came in the interest of the Temperance Movement. During a three days ' stay. Dr. Taylor delivered eight lectures on his line of w-ork. Dr. J. 0. Rust. Dr. J. O. Rust, Nashville ' s famous lecturer, delivered to the students his lecture on Socialism, which has attracted so much attention from the scientific world. For vivid picture, original thought and force of speech. Dr. Rust has no equal in this country. Scott F. Hershey, D.D. The Theological Department of our University was the one Presbyterian Seminary so fortunate as to secure the annual series of lectures of the Twentieth Century Lectureship on Preaching, established by the Boston publisher, L. M. Cush- man. This series consisted of five lectures on The Preacher and the Sermon of the Twentieth Century. Dr. Hershey ' s visit to Cumberland was made in Deceuiber, 1902. This genial, broad-minded scholar brought a feast of rich, juicy thought and wise counsels. Judge H. H. Lurton. On its roll of distinguished alumni, Cumberland Uuiversity proudly counts Judge H. H. Lurton, of the United States Court of Appeals. January 14, 1903, was the occasion of a visit of this Son of Cumberland University and son-in-law of Lebanon to his Alma Mater, in response to an invitation to deliver the baccalaureate address at the Midwinter Com- menceme nt of the Law Department. He spoke on the theme, The Law of Constitutional Limitations, and by this ad- dress Judge Lurton proved himself master of constitutional histor} ' and the intricacies of the legal profession. Rev.

With head lowered and folded hand; I did homage again and again. My eyes were dazzled ; the glamour of letters, The show of sculpture, the color of hangings. Glistened like setting-sun rays falling On a mountain of diamonds. And yet fetters Of love, much stronger than bands of steel. Had bound these to the eternal and real. And as I stood, dazed and dreaming, I was awakened by a hand touching Mine, and a hollow voice, seeming To come from the dead past, saying, What, Earth-born, is all this to you ?

Seated in the room Miss Bates, Miss Childress, Messrs. Brown, Brvan, Bridges, Orannis. Koeton, Orr, Pylant, Simins, Wooslcy.l KiMBKfii ' GII : We have met for the pur|x se of orpanizinsj the Senior Class of 1903. First in order of business is the nomination for President. Okk: Mr. President, I take pleasure in placin ' before this au(, ' ust assembly of eminent scholars the name of a man who is in every way worthy of this hijfh and honorable position, a man whose character cannot be questioned, who.se past record is immaculate. I have known him, lo, these many years. When he was a boy I knew him, when he was a young man I knew him — yea, even when he was an older man I knew him — and I have known none like unto him. He has presid- ed over many assemblies with a yrace and dignity unsurpassed, nor could we find a man who would sit more worthily at the head of the class of 1903. The man whom I name for President of this illustrious class of dignified Seniors is the distin- guished member from Tennessee, Mr. D. W. Bridges. Bridcks: Mr. President, there is a man in this class whose record is second to none, a man whose scholarship is recog- nized by all. whose character bears not one stain : one who has ruled his own spirit so nobly that we shall all be delighted to act under his leadership. First on the athletic field, first in the class room, first in all college interests — every inch a gentleman. Such a man I have the h )nor to nominate for President of our class. All honor to the worthy meuibers who arc his class fellows, yet I dare to call him the best man of his class. I present the name of Robert V. Keeton, of Mississippi, SIMMS: Mr. President, I rise to nominate not the best man, nor the worst man. The fact is, I do not wish to nomi- nate any man. The President of our class should be the one who holds the highest place in our admiration and our affec- tions, the one who, through her thousand noble |ualities of mind and heart, is best suited to grace the President ' s chair. And I feel assured that, when I mention the name of Miss Childress, all your hearts will respond, and her election shall but await the formality of casting and counting our ballots. It afi ' ords me great pleasure to put in nomination Miss Nellie J. Childress, of Kentucky, for President of the Senior Class of ' 03. KiMiiHoi ' Gii : I now declare nominations closed. Prepare your ballots. [Ballots ca t and counted.] Believing that it will add greatly to the interest of this meeting to have the further organization effected under the supervision of our newly elected President, I shall, at this juncture, with a brief expression of the pride I feel in having been President of the Junior class, vacate the chair of honor, resigning the laurels of class presidency to one more fitly qualified, by her many altain- ment.s, to guide us through the evening of our college career. Seniors, I am plea.scd to present our President, Miss Childress. Miss CliILKKKSS: Fellow members of the class of ' 03, my association of two years has inspired in me such respect for your opinion that, when you are ready to confer upon uic such an honor, the alternative for a choice scarcely remains to me. SO I feel that I cannot show my gratitude for this mark of the esteem of my classmates in a better way than by accepting, though I realize niA ' inability for the position. The best evidence of my appreciation would doubtless be silence, but permit me to say that the welfare of the class of Noughty-three lies very close to my heart. We will now proceed to the elec- tion of other officers. Whom shall we have for Vice President ? Pyxant : Our President, every intelligent person—especially if he be so fortunate as to secure a copy of the Phcenix will base his opinion of this class upon the appearance and character of its officers. These are to stand before the world as our representatives. It ' s necessary, therefore, that we place in office those who will reflect credit upon the class ; those who excel in beauty, intelligence, sincerity of heart and nobility of purpose. It is my pleasure to nominate for the office of Vice President the incarnation of all these virtues in the person of Miss Anna Bates, of Kentucky. I further move that we make the choice unanimous and elect Miss Bates by acclamation. WOOSLEV : I second the motion. [Motion put and carried.] Miss Bates : Thank you. fellow Seniors, for this honor. Allow me to say it is duly appreciated. KiMBROUGH : Our President, it is manifestly true that any member of this class can creditably fill any class office. I therefore propose the name of Simms for Orator, Bryan for Secretary, Keeton for Treasurer, Woosley for Poet, Grannis for Liar, and further move that these gentlemen by acclamation be elected to these respective offices. Our President, with your further indulgence, I move that the fortunes— historic, prophetic, and representative — of this class be entrusted to Mr. Bridges, who shall be styled Class Representative to the Phcenix. [Voted on and carried.] SIMMS : When time and opportunity are favorable, it shall delight me to thrill you with m3 ' - lofty eloquence. I shall tell you of the pine-clad hills of Maine, of flower-strewn Florida, of the snowcapped peaks of the Rockies, with her crystal streams, her rushing torrents, and her mist-encircled cascades. Or I shall tell of hearts moved to heroic deeds, of minds lifted to exalted purposes; but my eloquence shall be raised to its grandest strain when i shall tell you of my appreciation of the honer of being Class Orator. Bryan : I feel that it is an honor to serve this class in any way. As Secretary, I shall be ready to meet all your de- mands. I thank you for the honor. Keeton : It ' s a great thing, I take it, to be intrusted with the financial interests of a body; and I know that, if I have not your hearts now, they will be centered pretty close to me when I shall holl your pocketbooks. Allow me to acknowledge the honor done me in making me Treasurer. Grannis : Just come around at your leisure, and I shall be pleased to entertain you with one of my best lies by way of thanks for my office. WooSLEv : I thank thee, Seniors, thank I thee. The wherefore, tho% I cannot see ; But let that be as it may be, I thank thee. Seniors, thank I thee. Orr : Now let ' s hear from the Prophet. Bhown : And behold there came from the East and the West and the North and the South mi); hty ones uf viilur. And they came and dwelt in the land of Lebanon, vea, anion f the cedars of Lebanon dwelt thev about the space of four years. And in the first year of the rciga of Kinj; David, when the time was drawing near, and the day was niffh when they must iKT scattercil abroad over the face of the earth, they marveled jrreatly amonf; themselves : Surely a (treat famine shall come upon the land, and in vain shall the people seek knowlednre throuffhout the lenjjth and bre.idth thereof. Let us therefore assemble ourselves ti K:ether on the sixth month, i n the second day of the month, and let us declare our wonderful works to the chosen race and to the natives round about, that knowledffe may not perish and wisdom may yet be abroad in the land. And Kinn David and all the elders of the house of David to the number of ten and four thus commandcil. ami all the peo| lc .shouted, Yea. yea ! Now all these things shall shortly come to pass, Hkk : I move we all give the yell and adjourn. Omniw: Flippety, Flippety, Clippety, Clip.

Wc cannot say much of ourselves, becau.se we have not been here long. We might tell of our past, but it might not look well in print. We can promise you this, though, that after we shall have been here a year all past records will have been broken. The start we have made is very promising for us, but detrimental to the other clas.scs. Wc have already taken one man from the Theological Department. This speaks well for our moral tone and our pious appearance. Wc may take some members from the L. C. Y. L. or from the co-eds before the year is finished, but of this we are unable to speak of definitely as yet. But you may rest assured that we are a promising class, and will do the Institution great credit. Senior Law Class Motto : It is crueltj- to the innocent not to punish the guilty. Ybi.i, : C. U.! C.

Senior Law Class C ' ' SS ' HIRTY YEARS HEXCE — What strange things have come to pass since the Senior Law Class of - ' ■ ' - ' 1W5 passed int  the stern realities of life I The writer having many years ago accumulated a for- tune in the law business (?) and. being of rather sentimental nature, has laid aside the burdensome cares of this world, and for the last twelve months has been engaged in an effort to locate the noble, brave and gallant fellows who constituted the Law Class of 1903. Notwithstanding the undertaking looked rather gigantic at times, I haven ' t allowed that fact to discourage me. and as a result I have succeeded in hearing, either directly or indirectly, from each member of that grand old class. The first and easiest man to locate was Griffith, our most efficient Attorney General. Con- trary to the expectations of all, he at once developed into a first-class politician, and, by means of expert wire pulling and shrewd manipulations, he succeeded in retiring the Honorable John L. Burnett, of the Birmingham District, to private life, and is now representing the Seventh District of Alabama in Congress. The next to engage my attention was Woolwine. Poor fellow! Little did he think when he shuffled off his judicial robe at Cumberland, that he was parting with the highest honor that he would ever enjoy. Away out in California, a stranger in a strange land I He has longed for a glimpse of the old Volunteer State, but unfortunately for him and the State he has never accumulated sufficient gold to enable him to return. I approach Rankin slowly and with deliberation. It is like tearing asunder the very tissues of the heart to mention his name. It is needless to say how popular he was with the boys, and in what high esteem he was held by his instructors; but alas: Rankin has allowed his only failing to get the best of him. With all of his wonderful self-will and strength of char- acter he has not been able to resist the wine when it is red, and conse(|uently he is to-day a confirmed drunkard. Now, here comes Peter Calvin Jones, of West Tennessee. What a change in the morning ! In Pete we have a plain and practical exemplification of the old adage, Where there is a will there is a way. Notwithstanding the many obsta- cles that he had to encounter, he has surmounted them all, and besides has succeeded in convincing his people that he is the man to relieve Josiah ' s son of the arduous duties and responsibilities of a Representative of the Tenth Congressional District of Tennessee. Perhaps it is due to his intimate association with Griffith while in attendance at the Lebanon Law School. The next to hear from was Manning. He has lost none of his old-time pluck, and is as earnest and zealous to-day as when he made his eloquent appeal to Dr. Martin in the Moot Court in behalf of the poor widow and orphans who were about to be robbed of their insurance money on a technicality. I now have the pleasure of reporting the result of my inquiries concerning Alexander. His perseverance is indeed to be commended. Twice he failed on the Bar Examination in Texas, but the third proved to be the charm, and he is now a dig- nified County Judge. The following facts have been obtained concerning the career of Brother Denton. He has all alono enjoyed an hon- orable and lucrative practice, but he recently retired, and is now working in the interest of the people. He is a Repre- sentative in the Lower House of the Texas Legislature, and has introduced a bill providing for the repeal of The Rule in Shelly ' s Case. Now for Little Jinimie Craig, of Arkansas. Notwithstanding his great legal attainments and most eloquent tongue, he has abandoned the practice of law, and is now working in his father ' s office. The next to be considered is that tall, black-ej ' ed, black-headed boy from East Tennessee— Butler. His loyalty to his native mountains was proverbial. His devotion to home and all of its sweet influences was beautiful and inspiring. But, unfortunately for Butler, on his return to his mountain home he found himself confronted with conditions over which he had no control, and, consequently, he has been forced to content himself with a small law practice, while wishing such a fellow as Walter P. Brownlow had never been born. It is appropriate right here that I mention the name of Col. Edward J. Vaught. After preaching his way to the land of poets, statesmen, moonshine and fair women, he found himself for a number of years annoyed with the same bee that buzzed about Butler ' s bonnet, and, appreciating the situation, he soon got his consent to surrender all political ambitions. The Colonel is now following his old profession, teaching the young idea how to shoot. Now cotnes Nast No. 2 — Foster. His broad views, progressive ideas, enterprising spirit, and matchless pluck have at- tracted the attention of his people to such an extent that they have elected him six successive times to the State Senate in Texas. I will now ask your indulgence while I chronicle a few things concerning George Washington Silvertooth, of Memphis, Tenn. His career has been a remarkable one, and it is with no small degree of pleasure that I record his many brilliant achievements. The first few years after he left Lebanon were spent at his old desk at his old occupation sounding brass. He next secured a p osition on the Editorial Staff of the Memphis Scimitar where his versatile pen made him famous. He is now Editor-in-Chief of the Commercial Appeal, and if Horace Greeley and Henry W. Grady were alive to-day, the proba- bility is they would retire from journalism. Strange to say, Haynes has never amounted to much. It is needless to say he has disappointed us all. The few years of his professional life were spent in partnership with our old fried Peebles, at Columbia, but his father, believing he could board him cheaper at home, concluded to send for him, and he is now hopping counters in his father ' s store at Franklin. Indirectly, Berry was heard from, and to him life has not been a mere dream, but, on the other hand, a stern reality. He soon awoke to the realization that there was no end to the law, and, in his ambition to be absolute master of his under- taking, he became discouraged, and you know the rest. It is said that he is now making semi-weekly visits to the Tuskegee Institute with a view to solving the race problem in the South. To Shugart it can truly be said Griffith owes his phenomenal success. Notwithstanding Shugart might have gone to Congress at any time himself, he has remained at home managing his old friend ' s campaign and keeping the fences up, while Judge Green ' s orator makes laws for his country. Here comes one you will all be glad to hear from. It is Robinson, the dear old fellow who was never known to get an- gry. His smiling face and genial disposition strengthened and encouraged his associates. They had ever ' reason to ex- poet ureal things of liiin, but, iinfortiiiiatcly. tlicv have been disappointed. He got iiiifTed at the whole world early in life, and. to vent hi plecn, joined the Popnlite Party. Who wonld have Ihonfrht it ? Bates has actnally made a lawyer of himself. He has quit smokinp, retired from society, and in fact has renounced every form of dissipation, and is now a britfht, particular star in the lepal firmament of Ten- nessee. And here is Mills, that clever young fellow from Arkansas. Well. I will be charitable enou), ' h to say he would have suc- ceeded had it not been for a serious blunder at a most inopportune time. He antagonized the candidacy of Jeff Davis by championing the cause of Senator Berry shortly after he left Lebanon, and by so doing he dug his own political grave, from which he has never been resurrected. To speak of Barton excites a smile. For a number of years he labored under the delusion that a lawyer could not get to heaven, and a few years since he conceived the idea that he was called to preach. He is now pastor of the Methodist Church at Winchester. Next, fellow citizens, is Rasco, of Arkansas. He proved to be the luckiest man in the class, and is now a big corpora- tion lawyer in Arkansas, and draws the handsome salary of five thousand a year. Now for Shields, the jolly, big-hearted boy from Utah. His triumphs and his reverses, his victories and his defeats have been written in song and story, and hence it is needless to speak of him here. How could I forget to mention the name of Clarance Walerhouse ? His sweetest hopes (?) and fondest anticipations have at last been realized. Clarance is now Mayor of the great city of Chattanooga, and, like Bob Taylor and Governor McMillan, is constantly making goo-goo eyes at Senator Bate ' s scat in the Senate. lA-t us pause right here and think of the marvelous record that Adkins has made. I have been reliably informed that he prosecuted and convicted more criminals in Florida the first year after leaving Lebanon than Governor Jennings could pardon during two administrations. Think of that, gentlemen of the jury ! Here comes Terrell, who also hails from the land of flowers, alligators and sandy valleys. He has attained an eminent place in the profession, and gives promise of accomplishing great things in the future. Long has Weir dreamed of the wonderful resources and marvelous growth of the growing West. He took Horace (Jree- ley ' s advice and pitched his tent in the Lone Star State, but he soon observed that thousands of others had, years before, preceded him. and now in fancy we can hear him repeating these words. Things are not what they seeui. The next to behold is Wayman. On his return to Missouri he found .so many great lawyers who .so far outstripped him- self that he .soon gave up in despair. He is now settled down on his little farm, surrounded by his interesting little family, and declares he is the happiest man on God ' s footstool. Can it be that Hall has at last emerged from obscurity? He has recently been chosen to preside over the destinies of the cla.ssic little city of Hartsvillc in the capacity of Mayor. Baker entered politics from the jump, and he is credited with many curious things. He is said to have been inslrumen- tal in organizing three different political parties in the old Blue-Grass State since he received his sheepskin, and at last ac- counts was working on his fourth. Now for Eddj- Perkins, of Dallas, Texas. He has been so closely confined in his father ' s office since he left Lebanon that it will be no exag-geration to say the once ver3- popular young fellow has fallen off at least one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Sig-ler has made his mark as a lobbyist. He lives in Austin, Texas, where he is in close touch with the Legislature, and it is said that his influence and ability are recognized and appreciated from one corner of that little world to the other. Notwithstanding Turner ' s peculiar aptitude for the law, his matchless eloquence, pleasing address and keen perception, his professional career has been a failure. At last accounts he was in the employ of Pinkerton ' s Detective Agency. It is gratifying to note the rise of our young friend Tabler, of Texas. From a Justice of the Peace at Royse City, Texas, to County Judge. It is always pleasing to hear of the elevation of one of oi;r boys from a position of such insignificance to one of such dignity and importance as a County Judgeship in Texas. The next to behold is a modest young man from Illinois— Perry. iMany nice things might be said of Mr. Perry, but for fear the writer may exhaust your patience he reluctantly refrains from any comment on his remarkably successful career. The last, and I might say the least, is Moffat, of Mississippi. Well, fellow citizens, the English language hath its limits. Thirty years have passed since your Prophet was permitted to gaze into his countenance, and if he has ever accomplished anything in that length of time he has very successfully managed to keep it a profound secret.

Indeed so precocious are they that the whole world should know it. Hence it is deemed expedient to exhibit, in connection with their pictures, a specimen of the literature which is employed by their instructors for the double purpose of teaching- them the alphabet and cultivating a taste for real poetry. It runs thus: A stands for All this illustrious class, And All of the Arts in which they surpass. B is the Beard that they all hope to grow. Which young Bostick and Berryhill cultivate so. C is for Cudethe Cute little man. And Carney who does the best that he can. D is our Davis, no name is more kind. He allows the poor prof, to believe his own mind. K is for KUis, a doctor of fame. And Estes who wants a D. D. to his name. F is for Fun that these children have, When the teacher is muddled and all of them laugh. G is for Gurley with strength of a Trojan; Although he can ' t spell he ' s a good theologian. H is for Huber, a good natured child. And also for Hughes so modest and mild. I am the whole thing, the sine qua non. Thus sayeth the juniors so low and pass on. J is for Johnson who recites like a clock, The frost on the punkin, the corn in the shock. And also for Jones who though noways contrary. Has to be shown by the dictionary. K is for Kon-Katenation of Kats, That the Klan katch and kage to clean out t he Frats. L is for Love and for lonely and lazy. But don ' t you believe he ' s the least bit crazy. As for M, N, Q, U, V, X and Y, They are letters ill-starred so we hurriedly pass by. O is for Ogilvie sturdy and stout, When he knows a good thing he must let it out. P is for Price that we all had to pay. To obtain the vast learning that we have to-day. R is for Robi(n)son of Crusoe ' s line. Who has deserted his island to become a divine. And Rice a peculiar Colorado man Of the crook and cast of the poesy clan.

In the difficult task of selecting- ten leading- representative men of the various lines of work in the Presbyterian world we suddenU ' discovered, after having- selected them, that every one of them was reared and educated in the Cumberland Presbyterian Churchj which church in the hundred years of its life made such a glorious history. But more remarkable still, all are graduates of the same Theological School and also of the same graduating class, the great class of 1903 in the Theological Department of Cumberland University. Alfred MEiv ax Williams is known the world over as the modest, untiring editor of the Denver Herald. It is well known that in the eight years since Dr. Williams took charge of that paper it has advanced from an uncertain venture to the front rank in Presbyterian Journalism. Indeed it is now safe to call it the leading religious journal of the world. The ideal held by this editor has been not a classic journal for scholars but a helpful home paper for the people. From this ideal grew the paper so remarkable for simplicity, beauty and purity that it appeals to preacher and people alike. Dr. Williams was born in Lebanon, Oregon, in the early seventies. While attending an academy, at only thirteen years of age he edited a to3 ' paper, and at fourteen was regular correspondent of one of the leading newspapers of the day. While in the Theological School he was editor of the Phcenix. On leaving the Seminary he bega n pastoral work but was soon called to the wider field in which he has been so successful. John Stanford Sxaplkton has revolutionized Church Extension Work. The great work he has done, first as Superinten- dent of Synodical work in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, then as general secretary of the church extension work of the Presbyterians of America has been a blessing to the continent and a model for all denominations the world over. Mr. Stapleton was born in Seligman, Mo. His parents were of English descent, and were of the oldest families of Vir- ginia. His father, Isaac Stapleton, was a minister of the M. E. Church, South. His education was begun in an old field schoolhouse and was continued in other schools until his graduation from the Theological Seminary in 1903. He at once returned to the pastorate and labored in this most important field with great success until the urgent call of his brethren caused him to enter the field of his life ' s work. He now stands second to none in the esteem, confidence and influence with the brethren. Behold Richard Eli Sherman, D.D. , the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Memphis, Tenn., which has a mem- bership of fifteen hundred persons. The work being greater than he can manage alone there are employed two assist- ants. His intense love for mankind has compelled him to go out into the highways and byways and bring men in. In addition to his church work Mr. Sherman is much interested in Higher Education, lending his influence in that di- rection and lecturing occasionally on that subject, instilling into the minds of the youth that same spirit which domi- nates his own being, thus causing many to recognize him as the one to whom they owe their successful careers. ■ -From the NuHh American Review of May, 1922. See Smith GrTHHlB McCU ' NEY, the world wide evangelist. His mother State, Alabama, together with his step-mother, Texas, hail him with pride as they note his powers and the esteem in which he is held. England ' s hosts receive him gladly: the enteriirising Japanese say. Come over and help us, and his native land welcomes him home again to pro- claim with strong logic and wonderful fascination the Gospel message. With all the powers of a Demosthenes he de- livers the message to thousands, and hundreds throng about him claiming the promises which he has revealed to them. Day by day he is building a monument which will stand for eternity. Ika Laniikith Mvf.ks is another who has done much to bring this famous class of ten prominently before the world, and one who is reflecting credit upon his calling. His fame has gone throughout the world. As a result of his untir- ing efforts in prohibition work intemperance has been reduced to a minimum. Children love him, women praise him, and strong men look upon him with gratitude because of his conquests over the liquor evil. Believing as he does that the lecturer has as great a mission as a pastor he now devotes much of his time to the platform. Here he instills the bright .sunshine of his own personality into millions of lives in every land. Day after day he lectures to thousands, swaying the vast multitude with his eloquence, proving to the world that he is the silver-tongued orator of Ohio, and the king of the platform. In Geohgr Fhaxklin Jenkins, D.D., is verified the saying, He that abaseth himself shall be exalted. Upon his grad- uation in 1903 he at once went under appointment of the mission board to China. Humbly did he serve, obscurely at first, but he could not remain so. It was soon seen that he was gifted for larger work than that of field worker. He was made Superintendent of the Presbyterian forces in Hunan Province, and later was called to Hong Kong to act as general director of the entire Presbyterian work in the Celestial Empire and the admirable manner in which he is discharging his duties is attested by all who know him. Hard work, faithfully done has been his chief characteristic. All hail the name of Jambs Waltkr Haggard, a name highly honored because it stands for something noble and true. Dr. Haggard ' s elevation to the Professorship of Systematic Theology in Union Seminary came as a matter of necessi- ty. His services in showing the agreement of science and philo.sophy with true religion, and the simple, clear logical presentation of the deepest truths marked him for this most important post. He is not tied down to the past. Tradi- tion is not his master, yet so well balanced is he that, though some say he is too conservative, rather should it be said that he progresses rapidly and surely along safe lines. Never yet has he been compelled to recede from a position taken, and the church has always in the end endorsed his position whether it agreed with their book or not. Hun- dreds of students sit at his feet and go out deeply imbued with his spirit and wisdom to bless the world. Lkves BfSYAS Gray of San Francisco, is perhaps the most up-to-date pastor in our denomination. He has been pastor of the First church of that city for sixteen years, and is today more popular than ever. Go there and see the best equipped institutional church in America, modern in every way. Mr. Gray ' s grandfather was a pioneer Cumberland Pres- byterian minister and two uncles were Presbyterian ministers. Upon his graduation Mr. Gray entered the pastorate, and soon made his influence felt in favor of union of the Presbyterian churches of North America with what results the world well knows. Abraham Fraxcis Eddins, D.D., a quietly energ etic man, zealous in g-ood works, leaves the Seminary rejecting many brig-ht offers and buries himself in the mountains of East Tennessee. That faith so deeply rooted in his being is pro- pounded with irresistible eloquence. The first sermons are preached in nature ' s tabernacle. With an insight born of a real appreciation of the needs of the people, he persuades them to move into settlements, organize schools, build churches and gather about themselves the comforts and advantages of city life without the attending evils. The Mas- ter ' s love shining from this character is reflected by the multitudes that look to him as their leader. As an example of self-sacrifice the Presbyterian World can boast of no greater. When reading the life of this man one is reminded of the venerable John G. Pe3 ' ton, who died manj- years ago. Irvixg Guthrik Boydstux, a native of Mississippi. This name, more familiar in the affairs of the Orient than in our own countr3 ' , deserves mention as one of the men who are now considered as the greatest powers in the Presbyterian World. Upon leaving the Seminary of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, for it was in the days of that branch organiza- tion, he went immediately to Japan, locating at Osaka. He was not heard of for some time but the tenacious character of the man was telling on the task which he had set himself to do. We of to-day do not know of what dangers and hard- ships the mission work of twenty 3 ' ears ago was fraught, but these dangers did not deter Mr. Boj ' dstun and he stayed by his post through persecution and oppression. Now he is the recognized leader in the thought of Japan, at the head of her National University and the adviser of the Emperor. Nothing is ever undertaken without the adviceof Mr. Boyd- stun. His opinions are moulding an Empire, and the church to-day recognizes in him the key to the situation of the East. ; , R. E. SHERMAN T.

It is an incorporated body, and enjoys all of the rights, privileges, and immunities common to such organizations. It is composed exclusively of members of the two law classes, and holds weekly meetings for the discussion of such subjects as may be selected and assigned by a coinniittce appointed by the President for the purpose. Its object is to afford the student an opportunity for the cultivation and development of those forensic powers so essential to success in the legal profession. The practical benefit derived from such training cannot be ovcreslimalcd. The Philomathean is not an unknown quantity in the University. Its proceedings have always been loud and stormy. The l oys have on several occasions imagined themselves in real life championing the cause of the dear people, and have in- jected into its deliberations that 1 fe, that fire, and that enthusiasm so characteristic of political conventions. The elections are always looked forward to with the greatest interest, being one of the most attractive as well as exciting features of the Society. Here the young lawyer begins to harbor the suspicions, and whispers to his friends, that the world is nut exactly rjund, and that there are very few s |uarc people on it. But when the conflict ceases and the excitement subsides and the smoke of the battle disappears, all past rivalries, differences, and temporary estrangeme nts arc forgotten, and, like the noble fellows they are, unite to prcsirve the dignity and maintain the high character of their old Philomathean, an organi- zation that enjoys the proud and unique distinction of having produced more distinguished orators, profound lawyers, and eminent jurists than any ot icr institution south of the Ohio River.

A very high grade of work has been done by the society during the scholastic year. Co operation and brotherhood have been exhibited throughout ; the programs have shown careful study of the work assigned. On December 8 O. E. Gardner and E. T. Beard were chosen to contest with the Philomathean Society in debate. The Cumberland Weekly, March 4, reporting the Inter-Society Oratorical Contest, says, Mr. Totten, the representative of the Heurethelian Society, reflected much credit upon himself and his society in his well-pointed and most excellent ora- tion upon ' Tlie Problem of Labor. ' At the close of the evening ' s program Mr. Totten was announced the victor. Bj ' virtue of his success he will represent Cumberland University in the Tennessee Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest. This marks the victor ' s founfchonor in oratorical fields. The Heurethelian Society is glad that she has many more like the one she sent out to win this time. ■ I  it Caruthcrs Litciary Society Caruthers Society Motto: Esse qua Colors : White and Yellow. e== =D Presidexts ; E.

The motto ever being- kept in mind work of g-reat profit has been accomplished. She stands in the foremost ranks of literary achievement. Many men of note, in the pulpit and at the bar, have been trained in her courts. And yet her work has but begun. Her past career is but a shadow of the glory of her future days. The members who have received so many blessings from her boundless stores of wealth look with pride upon the work which has been and is still being carried on. One page, at least, in Memory ' s book will ever remain bright, the page telling us of the even- ings spent in Caruthers Society, where we struggled so valiantly to give expression to our thoughts and to master the art of argumentation: and perhaps there will still ling-er the recollection of a vain attempt to have annulled the fine imposed by the Senseless-M6rem. All these pleasant memories will ever compel us to rise up and call her blessed who has helped us to be whatever we are. Dramatic Club Motto: Interpret the Masters. Colors: Red and White.

Since Cumberland University has spread her wings to have soon a g-reat Conservatory of Music and School of Oratory, those of us who have been guided and instructed by our much beloved Prof. F. J. Stowe, assembled ourselves and formed an organization known as, The Dramatic Club of Cumberland University School of Oratory. We now have the honor of being- the charter members of that club and claim the privilege of representation in the pages of the Phcenix. Our Dramatic Club takes pride in saying that we have the distinction of being the first organized and constituted body in the School of Oratory, and we intend bj ' the observance of our well-formed constitution and purpose, to keep our standard work high, so that, throughout the school ' s coming history, it will not only be first by right of organization, but first by right of excellence. The purpose of this club is to emphasize the practical side of oratory, especially in Dramatic Art; to familiarize our- selves more with the masterpieces of literature, and with careful thought and training to interpret the Masters. Our de- sire is to establish a club to be both beneficial and ornamental to our School of Oratory, and to create a desire in every student who enters this school to become a member. We hope that those who will be enrolled in the ensuing years will feel an honor and distinction in being elected members of the Dramatic Club of Cumberland University School of Oratory. As is the spirit, so is the deed of it.

While the University is striding- forward ii truly to its proper rank and importance. Caruthers Hall, where the contest was held, was in gala attire on the night of the battle between orators. The two societies which were represented were seated in different parts of the great Hall, and had their standards floating and their seats heavily decorated -n-ith the society colors. Every addition to these ranks was lustily cheered. College yells rent the air, and when the speakers appeared the uproar was territic. College spirit and college enthusiasm were very evident. Caruthers yelled and Heurethelian yelled, and the visitors enjoyed the fun. Before and after the speaking the University Quartette sang, and the time was passed pleasantly waiting for the decision of the judges. When the report came, and Mr. Totten was declared the winner, the expected cheers did not come, for the -n ' inners knew they had conquered a foe -worthy of their steel, and to show their appreciation of it they quietly withdrew from the Hall.

Well, I ' m getting ' old now, but the iiicinory of one day ' s work I did is still fresh in luy inind. I was then only seventeen years old, and my father had made nie a present of one of those old fashion squirrel ritles, a few weeks before this eventful day. Ammunition was expensive, and to shoot without brin rin f down g ' aine was little less than a crime. I had been very successful on previous occasions, but was dcterminetl on this day to make a record. I left home early in the afternoon with my faithful old dog. Jack, fully resolved to make each of the eleven bullets I car- ried in my ptwkct do deadly work. I took no chance .shots, and so by careful work and much patience succeeded in killing ten squirrels. I had only one load left, and after searching in vain for another squirrel, started home. It was growing late, and I had reached the creek abo it one half-mile back of the old farm, when I heard that joyful sound produced by turkeys •■ going to roost. I decided at once to make my last bullet do its work. By stealth I managed to approach near enough to sec them, and to my surprise found nine upon one limb out over the water, about thirty feet high. Then I began to plan. I wanted more than one turkey. I would have more than one. At last I hit upttn a scheme. 1 knew that the tree was one whose limbs were easy to split and I decided to try it. I took deliberate aim at the limb on which tho.se turkeys were sitting and fired. The limb split, the turkeys clinched for a better hold and the work was done 1 I had every turkey caught by the toes. To get them was my next task. I leaned the rille against the tree and began to climb up to get them. One by one I twisted their necks and threw them out on the bank of the stream. The lirst turkey that fell did me great service. It struck fairly a covey of quails and killed seventeen of them. The sight of su much game on the ground made me nervous, and in my haste to liberate the last turkey, I lost my balance and fell with it into the water below. The water was not very deep and by standing on tiptoe I was able to keep my head above it. My shirt bosom had conic open in the fall and to my surprise I found that it had filled with fish. As I was walking up the bank with my turkey, the weight of the fish in my shirt broke the collar button and it struck a rabbit squarely between the eyes, killing it instantly. I gathered all of my game into one pile and began to yell for help, thinking some of the farm hands might hear me. My mother laid her hand t, ' ntly fin my head and said : James, are you dreaming? I said, Yes, mother dear. and went back to sleep. A. H. Y. Bi ' CJrANAN. How I wish that I could tell you, Glad hearted little bird, How T love the message bro ' t me; Though -ou utter never a word.

One that happened to me on a cold day in Jmuary, 1901, has afforded many hours of amusement. I boarded the L. N. at the little town of M , and as usual went into the smoker and prepared to find solace in my pipe. I had been seated but a few minutes, and was drawing- the first sweet inhalations, when the train pulled into the station, of C . To my surprise I saw a f ashionablj ' dressed lady enter the smoker, carrying- a French poodle under her arm. She looked around and then took a seat just behind mn. I was settling down again to my pipe dream when this ladj ' (for such I shall call her) notified me very curtly that no gentleman would smoke in the presence of a lady. I informed her very modestly that she was in the smoking car, and if she objected to my pipe she could step back into the chair car. This she positively refused to do, and said again that she would allow no one to smoke in her presence. Now I am a Southern man, and have the profoundest respect for woman, but this was more than I could placidly endure. Smoke I would, just to assert my rights after such abuse. She called the conductor and gave him orders to put me out of the car, but he told her she would have to go to the rear car if the smoke was offensive. I could see that her anger was get- ting beyond her control, and I took a strange delight in it. I refilled my pipe and puffed more vigorously than ever. She decided to freeze me out, I suppose, for she changed seats and got just in front of me, and after buttoning her cloak tightly she raised the window. It was cold, but I too buttoned my overcoat and smoked on This lasted a few minutes, and while I was wondering what she would do next, she turned before I was aware, and snatching my pipe from my mouth, threw it out of the window. With a movement scarcely less quick I caught her poodle by the neck and sent him through the window after my pipe. The scene that followed beggars description. For the moment she was transformed into a fury. I regretted my action, but knew that it was too late to mourn. She grew calm again, but I could see that she had formed a plan. We were nearing the place where stop was made for dinner, and I knew th at we would have to wait about twenty minutes. As soon as the train stopped, instead of going to the dining-rjom she went to a telephone. I expected trouble then. I ate my meal and was attempting to board the train again when I heard that now familiar voice say: There, officer, is the man; take him ! I related my side of the case as quickly as possible, and all the while she was urging him to take me to jail. He informed her that he could do nothing unless she remained to prosecute. She said that she could not do it, - was compelled to go on but that I had to be locked up. She was growing excited again, and the conductor came up and took my part. He had then held the train two or three minutes for us, and urged us to decide quickly. Matters were growing desperate. The officer was undecided what to do. She threat- ened to have him removed from his office. The conductor yelled, Board I and was waiting to give the signal. I could not miss my train. Hello! what is that? said the conductor. We looked, and down the track, as fast as his little legs would carry him, came that poodle with my pipe in his mouth. She took him, I took my pipe. The train carried us ' • down the line, but I saw her no more in the smoking car. Nathan G. Lovt---A Potm I fell •• in ■ ' love with the man ' •• The man in the moon !

Illustration: A stream of water, caused by the meltingf of snow, started down the slopes of the Rocky Mountain peaks, when it met with resistance in the form of a small pebble. Before reaching- this small stone the stream was g oing- steadily toward the Atlantic Ocean, but when the stone was met its course was chang-ed, and the water which would have gone on and into the Atlantic to wash the shores of the civilized world, went in an entirely different direction and into the great Pacific, where it mingled with the waters that were roughly tossed on the coasts of heathendom. The Pacific and the Atlantic are many thousand miles apart, and so this stream of water found itself far, far removed from its intended des- tination, and all caused by the smallest stone lying in its course. II. Lesson: He %vas a half back on the regular squad. His mind was on one thing only, the goal, which lay forty yards down the field. He breathed a refined air, his soul was exalted, his pulse was beating high, his nerves were in a terrible strain, as he was listening keenly to the signals which were coolly being called ; but there was a subliminal force quietly at He work down the field, Seven, sixteen, foriy-four, ' hike, ' and the ball is shot into his we great hole is made in the line, and through it he plunges into an open field. Now is his sees it way down the field. He hears the yells of the rooters With head low, he tears dov is nearly there. This touchdown and the day is won. Excitement is very high, the strain there — but no, in an instant the big half back leaps in the air and falls head first to the gn the five-yard line. A deathlike silence prevails. Is he dead? Did the strain kill him; feet, hands waving wildly in the air, head turning rapidly from side to side ; but only for c less in the arms of his fellows and is borne limp from the field. The goal was almost his. The cheers of the students filled his ears. He saw honor, prestige, banquets, picture in the Annual, and her approval ; but a little quarter back, crouching low, shot through the air, and the big hero of the day went down not to the goal and all this pleasure, but to the stretcher, the hospital, and crutches for life. He reckoned not of the little quarter back as he went rushing madly down the field, but that little lunge of his was the subliminal influence that brought him down. Dk.

Ballad of Shot-Gun Hill O ' Rainey was an Irishman, an Irishman with feet; But James O ' Rainej ' had a failing sore; He patronized a g-rog--shop, one angry winter nig-ht, But vowed he ' d never g-o there anj more. Thermometers were frozen stiff but Jimmy didn ' t care. Up Shot-gun Hill he marched him very bold; A blizzard blew but Jinim.y crawled into a haystack warm But Jimmy ' s feet remained out in the cold. O, ' twas a sad misfortune that befell those dimpled feet, For cruel blew the wind around that bluff; When Jimmy woke on Shot-gun Hill both clogs were frozen stiff, And so three doctors came to cut them off. In mortal fear lay Jiiumy when the doctors gathered ' round With ax and saw his feet to amputate; Then long they sawed while Jimmy howled, — the doctors stood it ' But O, poor Jimmy still bemoaned his fate ! O, Jimmy had a sweetheart true, ' twas sweet Marie Malone; And they had traded hearts forevermore; So when poor Jimmy ' s feet quit hurting fly his thoughts to her, And propped on crutches hies him to her door. Alas, when she these stumps beheld, too horrified to speak She frowned in indignation on his plight; Then cried Marie, I ' ll niver have a mahn without his fate, And turned poor Jimmy out into the night. Forthwith into the darkness dear grief-stricken Jimmy went Intent upon the ending of his woe; For, what had he ?— No feet, no love, in all the great wide world, No hearthstone warm where blizzards never blow. Across the quicksand ' s shifting breast the sullen river flowed, And there did Jimmy end his life of ill; For, being footless, down he sank, the quicksands choked his wail,- ' Marie, I go no more on Gun-shot Hill, 117 The Secret The Moikln Bird ' s Joke He built hiiti a castle in Spain, With stone and with mortar and old: For fabled the wealth it did liolrl.

A. room in Caruthers Hall : Prayer Service on Friday evenings, Mission Study on Sunday morning , and the Bible Class on Sunday afternoon of each week. Young men who come from Christian homes, and who love the Master ' s work, can feel at home here and find a place to pursue their study of the Bible and to pray and work for self and for those about them who are unsaved. They, too, who have not yet partaken of the joys and blessing s of the Savior ' s household are ever gladly welcomed in our midst. One of our members, our dearly loved and m.ost faithful Cherokee, was called from us this year to join the heavenly choir. We are left sorrowing for our best member. Cherokee walked with God and he was not; for God took him, but he did not take his wonderful influence for good. He left us that and the sweet remembrance of that pure and noble life. His work still goes on in our Y. M. C. A. and in our hearts. The Y. M. C. A. does not thrust itself upon the notice of the student body and the professors, but yet it is the still, quiet influence that is all the while at work among us, making us the better and the stronger for its being here and helping us to ever keep in mind the fact that we are not our own but are God ' s.

Mveh.s The Seminary Circle of Church Extcn. ' ion is an organization, composed of :i 1 tlie men of theTheolo ,nc.il Sciniiinry wIk. wish to enroll. It« motto is, Christ in Every Home. Its aim ii, To promote Home Mission Work. It i-. fmnfold in its work: 1. It is educational, in that it trains its men, in lectures and courscsof study, for definite personal work in winning; souls for Christ. 2. It is missionary, in that it seeks tocarry the Gospel where it is not being preached. 3. It is evangelistic, in that it sends men to neglected places, on Saturdays and Sundays, to hold evangelistic meetings. 4. It is remunerative, in thai it furnishes its men with places of labor during the summer months, that they may earn enough money with which to pay their wa y through college the following year. The Circle is a new movement that has proved itself to be a most interesting and profitable factor in seminary life. The men have divided themselves into bands of four, and each band has taken a section of country in the vicinity of Lebanon, for which it has assumed the responsibility of preaching to the people, of organizing Sunday .schools, and doing such other Christian work as they can. The President of the Circle has al.so organized the colored people of the town into a Sunday School Association, to which the men of the Circle deliver lectures on Sunday afternoons. Thus the work goes on, and thus the influence of the Seminary men is increasing in the .school and in the lown ,is well. The Seminary Y. M. C. A. This org-anization consists of all the Seminary students, and is a part of the Theological Seminary Section of the College Y. M. C. A. of the world. Purpose 1. To develop the spirit of devotional study. 2. To develop the missionary spirit. 3. To put theological students in touch with the world-wide student movement. 4. To have monthly missionary meetings, arranged and carried out by the students, in which the mission fields are discussed. 5. To have the three weekly chapel services given to the students the most inspiring of all the work of the course. 6. To give more to the support of foreign missions than any other school in the church. ( This year $250 was given.) Officers L. B. GRAY .... President J. F. VERNON Vice President J. S. STAPLETON . . .

Mission Study Classes In each of the three classes there are regularly conducted mission study classes. The class appoints its own leader and the work is done under his supervision. It is a source of great benefit to all. The leaders are : MR. A. F. ZEIGIvE, of the Junior Ci ass MR. WOESTEMEYER, of the Middle Class MR. GRAY, OF THE Senior Class I. G. BOYDSTUN Cumberland University Missionary to China Colle ge Missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Hereford Rev. W. F. Hereford offered himself to the Board of Missions of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the spring- of 1902 as a volunteer to the foreign field to be supported by the various colleges of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The Board of Missions took the matter under consideration and accepted Mr. Hereford as a worthy candidate for work in the foreign field. It also recommended him to the student bodies concerned as one whom they could with profit send to the foreign work. Mr. Hereford, who was at that tiuie a student in the Seminary of Cumberland University, continued his studies until his graduation in May, 1902. At that time he began to realize that It was not good for man to be alone, so he went out among the daughters of his land and took unto himself a wife. The new missionary and his wife spent the summer among his friends and doing evangelistic work part of the time. At the opening of his aim i mater in October, Mr. Hereford again paid us a visit and told us good-bye. On the 21st of the same month Mr. and Mrs. Hereford set sail from San Francisco for Japan, their new home. After a rough voyage they arrived at their destination on the 11th of November. Here they were cordially received by the missionaries already on the field and later by the Japanese themselves. A letter from them tells us that they are learning the language and also teaching these poor people English and the English Bible. Mrs. Hereford has a class of girls and Mr. Hereford has a class of j ' oung men. Says he, Work here is quite different from work at home. Here we begin by trying to prove to the people the existence of a God, one God. We find good use for all our reasoning powers and for more than we have. ' The students are all watching with a great deal of interest the life work of Mr. and Mrs. Hereford. The Mitchell Missionary Through the missionary zeal of our President D. E. Mitchell, another Cumberland University student goes to the foreign field. The one who will be the Mitchell missionary is Irving Guthrie Boydstun of the Senior Theological class of Cumber- land University. Mr. Boydstun is a native of Mississippi. At the early age of ten he professed faith in Christ and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church. In 1900 the Hopewell Presbytery licensed him to preach. He entered Cumberland University in 1897. He was accepted by the Board of Missions in January, 1903, and will sail for Japan this fall. Mr. Boydstun comes from a family of workers. His father, the Rev. J. G. Boydstun, has preached the gospel in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for over fifty years and is still active in the ministry. His sister. Miss Winona Boj ' dstun. deceased, did such valuable missionary work in the Mountain Work at Bernard, N. C, that her name is a household word throughout the denomination. We predict for this consecrated young man success as he goes to work for the Master in the foreign field. Ba ' ' im% e T Kappa Sigma Fraternity Theta Chapter, Cumberland University Colors: Scarlet, White and Emerald Green. Flower : Lily of the Valley. Established October 7, 1887 Yell: Rah, Rah, Rah ! Crescent and Star ! Vive la, Vive la. Kappa Sigma ! Kappa Sigma Fraternity ' was founded at the University of Virginia in 1867 by five friends and brothers, some of whom, while traveling in Europe, had been made acquainted with the traditional history of an European order founded at the Uni- versity of Bologna in the year 1400. Upon the traditions and legends concerning this order the ritual of the Kappa Sigma is based. The history of the growth of the American Kappa Sigma is to be read in the list of the active chapters. In number of active chapters it stands third among college fraternities, and its total membership exceeds five thousand. Theta Chapter sprang fuUarmed from one of the oldest and strongest chapters in the fraternity. Kappa at Vanderbilt University. During the sixteen years of its existence it has witnessed the revival and the return to inaction of Tennessee Lambda Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, the suspension of the Mu of the Beta Theta Pi, and the founding of Rho of Pi Kappa Alpha : while its elder sister and rival, Tennessee Lambda of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has enjoyed continuous existence side by side with it through this time. The achievements of the members of this chapter are known to all who are acquainted with the recent history of the University and its graduates. Four men, of whom three are still serving, have been elected to full professorships in the University from among the membership of Theta Chapter. It has had its full share of athletic honors, and its members have in several instances returned to Lebanon to stand before another than the fraternal altar beside one of ' the fairest. ' ' The standing of the chapter in the fraternity of which it is a part is above question, and its prospects for continued and successful work are the best. Fratres in Urbe E. E. Adams Faulkner F. K.

Eleven j ' -ears have passed since she opened her doors to the sons of Cumberland University. Popular from her infancy, she has become the pride of the Greeks, in numbers larger than all, in quality equal to any. Her sons have proved the worth of fraternity Ijfe by lead- ing in the honors of the school. In the pulpit, at the bar, and in business the Pi ' s from old Cumberland rank with the best on the shelf. Strength of character and true chivalry have always been the stars we seek. Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity Directory Chapters Institutions Location ALPHA UxiVERSITV OP ViK ;iNiA CliarloUevillL ' . V;i.

It (jrcw out of the need, among the masses, for higher development along certain lines. Well preserved records show that it has been approved by all the leading nations of the earth, and that its members have received the greatest honors any nation could bestow on an individual, because each has so well represented the apparent ideal of the masses. How strange that so few have been able to become members of an organization so representative of the people. Hut fi ols are so scarce ( ? I. Notwithstanding the scarcity of fools, the organization will continue to live and grow until the end of time, because it is. in a sense, self-pcrpctuating, — a fact which is wholly in keeping with the doctrine of the transmigration of souls, which has always been a tenet of the order. Following is a complete list of all the chapters ever organized, their members and place of location: 1. LAMEDH HE CHAPTER, University of Egypt. Rameses II, Thothmes and Ra-Sekenem-Taa III. 2. TAW NUN CHAPTER, University of Athens. Solon, Socrates and Mr Smith. 3. RESH MEM CHAPTER. University of Jerusalem. Gamaliel, Spinoza, F. K. Farr. 4. PE SIN CHAPTER, University of Pekin. Li Hung Chang, Confucius, Adam. 5. W. W BETH CHAPTER, University of Rome. Cicero. C:esar. Don Ouixote. 6. TETH TAW CHAPTER. University of Oxford. Cromwell. Shakespeare, Richard III. 7. GIMEL NUN CHAPTER, University of Guam. J. Allamsillumski, A. X. Z. Guchong, Mr. Scztcauxotz. 8. OOPH YODH CHAPTER, University of Africa. Uncle Remus, B. T. Washington, Theo. Roosevelt. 9. DALETH SAMEKH CHAPTER, Cumberland University. T. B. Sinims, E. C. Lceper, (ieorge L. Johnson, who arc the second embodiments of Rameses II, Socrates and Uncle Remus, respectively. 1J4 The j ' ell, flower, motto, colors and password as gfiven on another page are those adopted bj the first chapter which was org anized in Egypt, and have been used bj ' all succeeding chapters. We are not allowed to give a translation of the yell or password nor comment on anything that appears in the picture on another page, and just here wo kindly suggest that it will be regarded by us as a favor if our friends will refrain from asking us any question whatever concerning the organi- zation and its work. Among our members have appeared the champion athletes of the world. Rameses the second was the best full back that ever lived in Eg3 ' pt. He got killed in an automobile collision. Socrates was the best short stop of his day. Alas, that he met an untimely death, not however as Xenophon has erroneously stated. He was preparing for a bicycle race and while at the shop having his wheel pumped up the gasoline engine exploded and killed him. Richard III was fine on the trapeze. Other members have been distinguished along other lines. Cicero stood at the head of all his classes but was ex- pelled from the university just before graduating because he circulated a petition among the students asking the faculty to remove the steam heaters from the building and replace the coal stoves. Having lost his standing in the university he was expelled from the fraternity. He received his death from the shock of a wireless telegraphy machine. F. K. Farr was the m,ost successful Chautauqua manager that ever lived in Jerusalem. Because of his afliliation with the Jerusalem Sans Souci Circle he was expelled from the fraternity and died of downright grief. After the death of these two members the various chapters were notified to be on watch for signs of the reappearance of their spirits. After ages a member of the lo- cal chapter reported that he had seen positive signs of their reappearance. The person first affected, Judge E. E. Beard, was notified to appear before us for examination for membership in the Resh Mem Chapter of our fraternity, but he failed to pass because he would not agree to contribute his boots as common property of the organization. Dr. A. H. Buchanan came next but failed because he would not agree to carry seven buckeyes in his pocket during his connection with the fraternity. Then followed Prof. E. E. Weir. He also was refused because he does not supply the girls of the L. C. Y. L,. with an average of twenty-one onions a week (see requisite No. 9). He has reduced the supply for one hundred girls to less than thirty-seven bushels a week ! We are sorry to say that the last candidate, Pres. D. E- Mitchell was also refused. He agreed to bathe once a month during the summer but refused to keep it up through the winter. The place is still vacant. The spirit still wanders. You have a chance and if you ever feel as if you were affected by the spirit of a fool notify us and we will consider your case. CUMBERLAND WEEKLY STAFF. JOHN DAVIS Editoe-in-Chief C. H.

Its patrona(, ' c lias been niiicli larpcr than usual, in fact about o |uallini; the full capacity of the buildings. Under the erticient uianageuient of Mr. J. M. Robiso ' n and his wife, the household affairs of a family of nearly forty students and the students themselves, have been kept in perfect order. Too much can hardly be said in praise of this achievement, Mr. Robison very motlestly attributes his success to these who constitute his temporarily adopted family, but the boys all know where the credit belongs. With a full stomach, comfortable rooms, kind treatment, and plenty to do, there is little to tempt one to be bad. The boys of the Hall have had a good time this year, and in many respects a profit- able one. Their social life has been remarkably pleasant, surrounded by those elevating influences that count for so much in the formation of a young man ' s character. Among these influences may tie mentioned the reading room, the hall gmiind, the after dinner speeches, and above all, the Tuesday evening pr;iyer nieeliiig.

EMMA SHERRELL MRS. ERNEST PARTEE MRS. LILLARD THOMPSON MRS. THOS. WOOLWINE MRS. CHURCH McFARLAND Sans Souci Woiiiaa is an inventive genius. She is also a restless being, but the originality of her uiind keeps her busy enough or- ganizing clubs, societies, and the like, so she is prevented being desperate. About twelve years ago in the valley of Middle Tennessee, in a little city of cedars, there was organized a woman ' s club which has lived! In the home of one of Lebanon ' s best known women, just about a dozen years, in the time called past, half as many girls met and formed themselves into a club which they caUe l Sans Souci. At first it was very limited in its membership, and also in the refreshuicnts which were scr -ed at each uicetiug. How few men would go to a club house every Saturday with no heavier menu to satiate their ani- mal taster than cider and ginger cakes! To say that this was really true of the first year of this now noted organization, and then to know that it outlived that age shows the perseverance and slickability of womankind. It has grown from so small a beginning until now it has a membership of about forty of the prettiest, sweetest and most lovable of any girls (or those who have been girls) who have ever lived in and blessed a college town anywhere in this country. To know a member of Sans Souci is to know a woman who combines all that is true and womauly in this Southern land. Some of them uiay be a wee bit frivolous, perhaps this is true, but isn ' t it right that the girls should be happy and gay and thus brighten our lives while we sojourn in their little town? All praise to Sans Souci! To know you is to honor you, and to know your mem- bers separately is to love you with all the dignity and gallantry of Southern college men. We takeoff our hats to you for we tread on sacred ground. The young ladies are not only cordial in everyday life, but they show annually the interest taken in students by giving a reception in honor of them. It generally takes place on St. Valentine ' s day, which, of all days they could select, is the best. This year it was given at the well-appointed home of Mrs. E. E. Adams, on West Main Street. No affair of the year was more beautiful in detail or more enjoyed. As is the custom of these fair damsels, the receiving party was made up of thedebutantesof the year: Misses Ollie and Bessie Golilhan, Francis and Mary Cami)bcll, Helen Martin, the hostess and her guest. Miss Wood, and the charming President of the circle, Miss Edna Beard. Dainty and graceful they were, and their manner was most cordial as they welcomed their guests into the Mystic Circle. If you want to talk to an interesting girl, talk to a member of Sans Souci. The students had their chance on that memorable occasion, and it is nced- lei s to say that it was well improved. At a late hour the dining hall was opened and there was enjoyed a feast of delicious dainties such as only a woman knows how to prepare. The lateness of the departure of the invited ones showed their appre- ciation of the honor bestowed on them. Each one left feeling in his heart a new sense of love for these sunbeams of college life. r , Girls ' Glee Club of Lebanon Society as it Happens in Lebanon Thi.s year has been a jjrcat year for the people and students tliat are inclined to society. The space j iven in this book. to the society e !itor is small and he has to limit his references to those thin f-s in which the students are concerned. Judje Green The tirsl thins that will attract the attention of the reader of all the papers of this scholastic year will be the an- nouncement of the wedding of our dearly beloved cx-chanccllor, Judge Mathan Green, to Mrs. ISlanchc Woodward, one of the most popular teachers of the Lebanon College for Young Ladies. Upon Judge Green ' s return to Lebanon he was received and entertained by Mrs. John Lester. The affair was the most elaborate that has ever been seen in Lebanon, Many were the handsome presents received by this couple from their hosts of admirers. One among the most liandsomc was a hand-painted urn presented by the choir of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which Judge Green has been the leader for a long time. The judge remarked upon receiving this that he felt less like he had use for an urn than ever before. His ashes were satisfied to remain here for a while now since he had been made so happy. The students joined in giving the judge a royal welcome. Bone-Stratton The fifteenth of October proved to be a gala day in the life of one of Cumberland ' s old students, for it was then that Mr. Robert Bone and Miss Mildred Stratton. one of Lebanon ' s fairest daughters, were united in holy wedlock. The pretty home of the bride was never more beautiful, with its ferns, palms and llowers, decorating the hall and parlor. At five o ' clock the guests had all arrived and the sNi-cet tones of the piano were heard in Mendelssohn ' s Wedding March. Slowly down the stairway came the four maids all in simple white. First were the two sisters of the bride, Misses Julia and Mary Owen Stratton, followed by Misses Katharine White and Frances Campbell. Sweet and dainty the bride looked as she, with the groom, following the maids, took their stand, before a background of ferns and palms. They were met by the groom ' s brother. Rev. W. P. Bone, who, in a few impressive words, tied the knot. Amid showers of rice and hearty congratulations they left for their far-away Texas home on the six o ' clock train. Atkins-Thompson Students are nearly always fond of Lebanon girls, but one boy showed his fondness by taking one away as his bride. Miss Anna May Thompson and Mr. J. S. Atkins ended the year 1902 by doing- the best thing of their lives, and started the New Year with a new leap as married people. The ceremony was solemnized on December 31st at the home of the bride ' s parents on College St. The house was beautifully decorated and the handsome presents were displayed in the dining room. At the appointed time, after a beautifully rendered musical program, the prospective bride and groom came from an adjoining room and in the middle of the back parlor were met by the Rev. E. E. Morris, who performed the ceremony. This was the culmination of a romantic college case. They left on the evening train for Cincinnati, their future home. And again the students wish their old college-mate a long life and a happy one. Kappa Sigma Entertained The Kappa Sigma Fraternity was very fortunate to have as its hostess on December 26, 1902, Miss Kate Hinds, one of its most loyal sisters. The members who were left in town during the holidays were rejoiced when thej ' were invited to her hospitable home. She is always a gracious hostess, but on this occasion excelled. The evening was a most pleasant one, and the chafing-dish supper was thoroughty enjoyed. Miss Hinds had with her four other young ladies. Misses Johnnie Lester, Frances Campbell, Andrea and Helen Martin, who with the ever genial Prof, and Mrs. Farr. added materially to the enjoyment of the evening. The memory of that night will linger with the students who attended ' till in the far distant future when college days will be a mere recollection, and then it will be the day of the brightest and rosiest hue. (Reception — The IVIisscs Beard — January, 1903 Hospitality is characteristic of Southern people, so nothing else is expected of young ladies in a Southern college town. This was shown to be true when the Misses Beard entertained their charming guest, Miss Frances Pilcher, from Nashville. It was an afternoon reception and one of the most pleasant of its kind given during the year. The receiving party consisted of the hostesses and the honoree. After enjoying an hour ' s repartee the guests were invited into the dining room. It was a bower of beauty with its flowers, ferns and candles. At either end of the table Misses Frances Campbell and Martha Martin poured chocolate. This was followed by dainty chrysanthemums, served by Mrs. Farr, which proved to be an ice with cake. The fifty guests who were present were lavish with their praises of the graciousness of the hostesses, and the charming cordiality of the fair one in whose honor the affair was given. It is occasions such as this which help to make the student ' s life so bright and cause the college days to be the happiest of all others.

We tried place after place with like success, varying the process by leaving out I Can ' tTell Wh ' and When the Harvest Days are Over and substituting Ain ' t It a Shame? as a finale. Some one has reported that we visited the L. C. Y.

We drew up our ranks on the veranda and played and sang loud and long. After singing Where is My Wandering Boy we were suddenly stampeded bj ' the subdued rattle of the window, but when we re- covered, lo ! there was a banquet fit for the gods. Then we sang Susie, Woozy. Who knows why ? East Tennessee Club East Tennessee Club Motto : Fama semper vivat. Officers DAVID BROWN Pebsidrnt H. M. RANKIN .........

The working ' s of this team cannot be described. No PhcEnix editor was allowed to witness any g:ame or practice. The players came and went in closed carriages and were wrapped in long, mysterious cloaks. The names of the players were obtained by stealth ; a little Phcexix editor wrapped himself in a long cloak and stood on the outside and heard each player announce her name and position in whispered words through the keyhole. The editor got the names all right, but the posi- tions which they named were so unusual that in untangling the tangle he may have gotten some wrong and will not vouch for the correctness of those named above. Why was there only one game played ? The attendance was good and the receipts must have been large, therefore why this diminishing of consuming enthusiasm ? Ba lH i ■hHV ' ' G .

Hard work, though, told and the boys broke even. Captain Suddarth worked like a Trojan and the development of the team was very gratifying. Most of the games were played at night, and the new venture proved a success. Cumberland University Tennis Club Tennis Club Colors : Scarlet and white. Yeli,: Hu-rah Tennis ! Hi-rah Tennis !

The courts are full of the fastest players ever seen on the campus of Cumberland University. Match games are now trying to be made with other schools where tennis is played fast. As to the outcome of these games it will be the privilege of the next Phcenix to tell of Cumberland ' s victory or defeat, but it looks now to the critical observer like Cumberland has the fastest players in the Southern college world. The interest manifested by the co-eds and the young lady friends of the institution is very delightful to those of the students who are tennis players. Their merry laugh and happy faces make the courts a scene of great attraction, and the greatest enthusiasm is the result. Not a day passes but what such sounds as these are heard all over the campus : Let ball, Love 15 no Love 30. No, it is Love all. That ' s it says a bystander, Love ' em all and you ' ll be all right.

Bryan, Ma W. F. McGaughy. Coach Athletics This issue of the Phcexix marks the closinj of another year at Cumberland University. The smile of Providence is everywhere in evidence, but nowhere is this more conspicuous than in our athletics. During- the past season our teams in football, baseball and basketball, have demonstrated the fact that there was nothing- idle in the promise made last year when we told the athletes of the Southern colleg-es that in ' 02 and ' 03 we would meet them on the gridiron and diam,ond to contest for supremacy, and that we would prove an antag onist worthy of their best efforts Our record for the past year shows ery plainly that we have kept our promise. We made our vaunting true. We hav e met their best and with our one year ' s experience we have caused the hearts of the most ardent supporters of championships held for years in succession to flutter over the apparent certainty of defeat. It is true that at times we were defeated, but in no contest were we overwhelmed. The Department of Athletics of Cumberland University is in its infancy, but with the ardent supporter it has in Presi- dent Mitchell there is no question but that it will g row, and g-row rapidly, too. The Phocnix is no prophet, nor the son of a prophet, nor does it take a prophetic eye to see, in the not distant future, suc- cess in all branches crowning our athletics as well as in every other department of Old Cumberland. To Coach Phillips of the ' Varsit ' Eleven is due all praise for taking almost an entire lot of inexperienced men and making of them men fit for any gridiron in the South. The quiet but fir m way of this coach won the hearts and the respect of every man on the field, and with the help of Captain Keeton the j ' ear was made a success. Kver ' man played good, hard, honest ball and deserves to be complimented. The work of Coach McGaughy on the diamond was never before equalled in Cumberland University nor in any other Southern school. The fastest team in the Southern colleges was turned out by this best of all college coaches. McGaugh) ' leaves us this year and the boys are all very sorry to see him go, for his place will be hard to fill. We would not forget to mention the basketball season. The record is an enviable one and the result is due to the hard work of Captain Suddarth and his faithful few. Suddarth is an athlete and a loyal Cumberland man. His work in C. U. athletics will long be history in the institution. Special mention should be made of Captain Keeton of the football squad. A fellow small of stature, yet wiry and vigor- ous, to him is due greatly the increase in enthusiasm along the athletic line, and since he came to us he has made things howl in that direction. Mention should be made of Spencer, Harris, Waterhouse, Shields, Bryan, Huber, Blackwell, Lee Weir, and many others who have helped to make C. U. athletics the past year. Castle Heights (Front View) !- (S ' ' ' fj ' - CA3TL£ HSIGHTS H ■ ' =ii=« f . ' Introduction and Announcement Castle Heights The idea of a preparatory school for boys, which should be located where Castle Heights School now stands, was originally that of Prof. Isaac Buchanan, now head master of the institution he planned. His long and successful experience in educational work, especially in that of secondary schools, seems to have peculiarly fitted him for the task of carrying out such an idea, and his interest in it has been not only that of a true educator, full of the spirit of helpfulness and guidance, but also that of a fostcring-parent, full of sacrifice and eager for the success of a child. With the accession of Mr. Mitchell to the presidency of Cumberland University, and thus to a larger sphere of useful- ness and importance to the community, his immediate past history was closely connected ; and especially was this true of his generous gift of the library which bears his name, and of his investment with Prof. Buchanan in the permanent educa- tional interests of the town : viz., in Castle Heights. Far from being the reasons for his accession, they did serve to jraiut out the reason, a reason that has since been justified again and again in the greater field that he is preparing the I ' liiversity to fill. With two such men back of the institution, it could only succeed. Admirably supplementing each other ' s dominant characteristics, the two working in harmony were better than any one man could possibly have been, however brilliant. Mr. Mitchell furnished the sparkling enthusiasm that crystallized the faith of Prof. Buchanan into works. The one had to do with broad lines and large facts, the other with detail : the one wrought at long range; the other carried bricks in his hands; the one agreed upon the size of the building and the amount to be spent, the other measured the beams, carried every specification and dimension in his head, and expended wisely every dollar to be invested: and they both exhibited that determination and energy without which success would have been impossible, and with which it became certain. At no point was money spared. It was the purpose of both projectors of the school to make its material equipment as nearly perfect as could be devised. Everything seemed to be thought of beforehand, and no detail to be omitted that might increase efficiency. Constant changes of plans were made to give a chance for additions or improvements. The result is a beautiful school building, with thoroughly adequate facilities, of which there arc few who do not say that it is the finest preparatory school building in the South, and of which some have said that no more beautiful school building was ever erected. A few of the unusual and attractive features of the buildings and location should be of interest. It is situated a mile from the public square of the university town of Lebanon, on a gently rising- hill, with down-grades in every direction from the building. Its architecture produces a modified castle effect (hence the name), and the style is very ornate. In the basement are steam, heating plant, electric light works, and steam pumping apparatus. The pump draws water from the solid rock, one hundred and ninety feet below the surface. This water is absolutely free from organic matter and impur- ities, as many tests have shown, and it contains minerals (chiefly sulphur and magnesia) of great value to the system. The gymnasium occupies the entire second floor of the rear building, which is connected with the main structure in the middle. A covered passage leads directly back from the central hall to the dining-room, which is under the gymnasium. On the second floor the entrance to the latter is entirely enclosed, and at the place most convenient in the main building are located the lockers and shower baths. The most complete and perfect sanitary arrangements are in use, and the facilities for bathing are unexcelled. One of the features of the building is the suite of three rooms on first floor, devoted to the social life of the boys. This suite, which may be thrown together and used as a single apartment, is elegantly papered and furnished. It contains the school parlor, reading room and library. The popular indoor game of ping pong was much affected b ' the boys for a part of the year, standard tables being provided in these rooms, on which they could play. A good piano was another source of pleasure here, as was also the music furnished on another in the gymnasium during the latter semester. The most interesting thing about Castle Heights School is the fact that it represents so great a departure from the typical or even exceptional Southern school. From the first the projectors of the new institution sought their model and their inspiration from the best source, that is to say from the schools of New England, and the elms that stretch out their graceful arms toward the building at Lebanon are not more typical of Cambridge than the discipline of Castle Heights is typical of, say, Phillips-Exeter. Many students were denied admission to the school because they wished to come and board in town. In no such case was the slightest deviation made from the rule that students not having their homes in the vicinity should live in the school. Thus at considerable financial loss the point was maintained that, so far as possible teachers are to be w loco parentis, ' ' ' ' and that no substitute could be allowed for home influences save the healthful and guarded atmosphere of the school. Unlike the ordi- nary boys ' school of this section — which is a prevailing type throughout the South — Castle Heights offers to a boy the ad- vantages of both school and home, the former of the most approved type, and the latter, to say the least, an improvement over many that may be found. In no home is possible the strict obedience to the necessary order of activities that is insisted upon and imperative at the school. The advantages of numbers are to be found in the circumscribed liberties that numbers compel, and for the first time a boy learns in the school that what is not possible for all is not possible for him, thus acquir- in one of the fundamental )ri ciplc  of moral discipline. The order of the day. the rising ' , eatin r, attending ' on classes, taking; of eKcrcihe, Ntudyiiifr. playinjj and retiring , all performed at certain times and with necessary and wholesome regu- lations—these lead to an onlerliness, a regularity of habit, and a system that can be taught nowhere so well as in the school of this clasi . and without which many a man has failed in his life work. Little more remains to be said in a general statement. The conclusion is inevitable that at Lebanon is being established a landmirk in the education of the South. The immediate and complete success of the Castle Heights idea is the strongest possible presumptive evidence of this. The quality of our Arst student body, strong intellectually, brave morally, and uncon- qucred physically, supi orts the claim. Each year will see improvements, not so much materially as in other ways. With a high standard already established, and a determination to stop only with the best, the student b ' Kly will be still m  ro .t ictIy selected from applicants for places. The enlarged faculty and the settled course of study of another year, the already form- ing traditions of the school for honesty of purpose and soberness of judgment, and the prestige of successful work already achieved, will be the measure of new aims and more definite ideals in this school already foremost.

The grounds slope gentlj- away froui the building in every direction for as much in some cases as three- quarters of a mile, special sanitary advantages arising from the fact that the school crowns the very hill-top. The view from the roof of the building is very extensive and beautiful, allowing one to see even to the Kentucky State line. The fact that from its very inception the school was planned to be a model, led to a design, perfect in itself, whose unity and s3Mnmetry could never be marred by additions. The front and main building is about one hundred and fifty feet long, sixty feet deep and si.xty feet high. Immediately to the rear of the entrance hall is a passage leading to the rear building. This houses the more essentially material features of the school, the dining-room, kitchen, etc., being located on the first floor, and in the basement the boiler and engine rooms. Here, is also a ro )m for bicycles, for which the country surrounding L,ebanon is a paradise. From the basement well also is pumped the water that would make Lebanon famous as a health resort, were it used in a sanitarium instead of in a school. The second floor of this building is a well-equipped gymnasium in which daily exercise is taken by the boys. To return to the main building, on the right as one enters, the entire end of the first floor is occupied by the chapel and study hall, with desk room for two hundred students. On the left are the apartments and recitation room of the Associate Head Master, and on the north exposure the public parlor, reading room and library, three rooms that can be thrown together on occasion. The second floor is devoted to recitation rooms, including the laboratories and business department, the shower, baths and lockers, and, at either end, rooms for the younger boys. The third and fourth floors are entirely given up to dormitories for the boys of fifteen and over. The foundation is very high, of beautiful buff stone, which is also used throughout in trimming. Surmounting this is the superstructure of the finest red and buff pressed brick, the latter matching exactly the foundation stone and occupying the place in the color scheme that would be taken by the painted trimming of a frame building. The interior finish is of oak on the first floor and in the stairways; elsewhere of hard pine. There is no fire anywhere in the main building, but for fire protection there are plugs for hose on every floor, having connection with a seven thousand gallon tank on the roof and with the steam pump itself in case of need. The grounds surrounding the buildings are ample, including in addition to a splendid athletic field, access to the surrounding farm land of Mr. Mitchell. In front is a splendid driveway, which, after encircling the building, leads down through rows of maple and hackberry trees to the ornamental gateway on the Nashville turnpike. Associate Head Master ' s Parlor, Castle Heights History of the Diathelian Society BY THE HISTORIAN Castle Heights Considerably as a star apears in the evenin ' and alius gits briter an ' britterr through the nile, sow has the Dieateliun Sosiety of C. H. dun, til now it stands at the head of all uther conteuipurarez. On Oktober 4, ninetene hundred an ' too this meetin ' wuz organized, an ' after lots of disputations ranghin ' , the foUerin ' oficers wus chosen, who purformed there dooties admireably. Mr. Herman Howard, a very poplar man, wus chosen prisidint. IMr. Bennie L. Rash, of Kaintuck, wus sel- lected to f uUfil the dooties of prisidint when absent. Misther Princess M. Noell wus sellected to atend to the office of secre- tary. Mr. Walter M. Dake, Juvenile, wus chosen money grabber and changer. And Mr. Philander Em. Warren wus ellected to the office of critique. Under the ephicient leadership of these officers, with the ekseption of Mr. Howard, who resined shortly after ellection, to be exceeded by Mr. S. Ainiiable Braun, the Sosiety has develloped sum wunderful speakers, whitch, had they lived when Cisero spoke, we would now be studyin ' the third pipe dream of Zwingle or the hundred and fortyeth letter to a child by Cox probably. The corner on ofises wus at last busted and a new and fully garantedd set wus put in on the misfortunate date, the 13eth of Desember, last year. Mr. Braun wuz re ellected to the incumbancy of his former chair. The misfortune of the year came when we chalengd our rivals and coajuters, the Aletheans, to a joint debate. They left us mighty little of Hudson, Marshall and Zwingell, our lusty, trombone-throated crew, from whom we hopped so much. They didn ' t make up well into hash, and it wuz dry hash at that, and not half baked. But we fele vary proud of our reprezentitives, fealing that the ' have dun us as best they coud, and hopping they will not fiel hurrt at these few feelin ' remarcks ; enugh for this time, and good by, I am. Truly Your Feller Member, Bkn ' nik L. Rash. Study Hall. Castle Heights History of the Alethean Society BV THK HISTORIAN Castle Heights A strang-er, wandering- throug-h the Castle on the Heights, would have instinctively lingered one evening- last fall in a vast and awful apartment of the building, whose furnishing so elaborate and character so solemn would have subdued his soul into piety and his mind to contemplative restfulness by their profound and cataclysmic suffusion, until the moment when, ushered by a burst of thunder and preceded by a tidal wave, in came the future charter members of our Jove-born concate- nation of literateurs to organize a new society. Seated in somewhat august majesty before a palatial empty chalk box, the professor in charge observed the election re- turns. The back counties came in first and by their greater exhibition of industry in voting for their candidate, he (I refer to myself) was elected President. From an unusual regard for truth which characterizes this high officer, the name of Ale- thean was chosen. This society was organized solely for the benefit of the school at large and was therefore enthusiasti- cally supported by the individual members whose unselfish motives have been often the subject of facultative discourse. The Alethean society has frequently covered itself knee deep with glory, especially in the hard-fought debate with their rivals, the Diathelians. The latter thought themselves some punkins and challenged us to a debate on the abolishment of the Monroe Doctrine, but it proved a boomerang and we gave ' em a Roland for an Oliver. The decision was unanimously two to one in our favor. The motive of the present membership is to aid each other to speak in public without notes or em- barrassment. We feel that we are succeeding beyond even the wisdom of Solomon. We sing every Saturda)- night the sweet and inspiring refrain of the following lines, with the poet : Men may die, kings may perish, All the fond hopes, yea, all we cherish May die, or mold, or cover with rust, For all things we know must return to dust, But oratory, the secret of all sublime, Will sound and resound through the caverns of Time.

These services were friven every two weeks during the winter, and formed for the boys a welcome tireak in the somewhat tiresome afternoons when they were oblitfed to stay at the school. More than this, the idea was so popular that each service was f rected by a larf er and more delighted btxly of citizens and students from other schools until the chapel became unable to accommodate the people and the last two services were held in the Cumberland and Methodist Churches. The large pcda . organ of Professor Watcrhouse has been a great help in these musical events, and, in general, we have been verj- fortunate in having a faculty of unusual musical ability and taste. The trio of violin, violoncello and piano has given some of the most delightful music of the year, and the very backbone of the whole scries has been the string quar- tette, of two violins, viola and ' cello. These two organizations have played music from the classic masters in such a way and with such wise selection as to do much to popularize it. The personnel of the trio and quartette follows: Trio Miss Martha Martin ... Violin Mk. Caru SiiOHAi.TKR HkrTZOC . ... ' Cello Mrs. I. W. P. BfcUANAN .... Piano Quartette Mi.ss Edna Beard ...

An examination of the work of our football team will show that their record is a surprising one. Never having played together before, as was to be expected in a new school, and several of the boys never having played at all, we feel that we have every reason to be proud of them. Our single defeat loses its sting when we note that the most plausible claimant for championship honors played a tie game with a team that we defeated. Next j ' ear we expect still more of the boys, who will have the inspiration of having the best of coaches, Mr. Edgerton, of Vanderbilt University.

' Though unable to secure many games, we lost to no preparatory school during the season. The games with Cumberland University at Lebanon demonstrated ability of a high order, Cumberland having played Vanderbilt a game at the season ' s end in which the former lost by a score of 24 to 21. The championship among preparatory schools undoubtedly belongs to Castle Heights, ' though in our game with Nashville High School, we played a student later disqualified by the rules of the association. Afterwards Nashville High School was beaten by Montgomery-Bell, and, without the student in question, we beat Montgomery-Bell, defending our record later against Branham and Hughes by a score of 19 to 10 in our favor. This seems to be conclusive evidence of our right to the championship of the State. Baseball Team.

HOWARD Secretary PROF. J. S. WATERHOUSE Treasurer 231 Casllc Heights (Rear View) Conservatory of Music of Cumberland University Introduction It is very doubtful if among all the smaller towns of the South any could be found more musical in atmosphere than Lebanon. Consequently (though it does not always follow) we are to have the Conservatory. More than most people know, it was the music department of the L. C. Y. L. that furnished the tangible basis upon which could be built a larger musical interest. Great credit is due the foresightcd policy of Prof. E. E. Weir in lending himself most heartily to the desires of those who believed that a larger and better organized music school would be advantageous not only to Lebanon and Cum- berland but to Professor Weir ' s school as well. The Conservatory will have no apologies to make. There are few better teachers in any city of Auierica than Professor Feuchtinger, who will do all the advanced piano teaching, and act also as director of the institution. He brings with him his principal assistant, Mrs. Tanner, who has demonstrated for years her ability to work with him and sustain the standard which he has set. The faculty of the L. C. Y. L will for the present be the same as it has been. Two of the local teachers of piano have accepted positions with the Conservatory. Thus it will have a very strong local flavor and at the same time it will represent something far better than we have been able to enjoy in the past. It is safe to say that in so far as concerns piano and voice no better advantages can be secured in anything short of a metropolitan school of music, where for very many the prices must always be prohibitive.

When one of his pupils played recently before a critic from the Musifal Courier, her performance revealcnl a finished and rounded tuch- nic, a bip and limpid tone, and a healthful musical interpretation which truly reflected his schooling;. Sincerity and freedom from mannerisms als . marked his student ' s playing. One thing is certain : the young woman will not have a lot of things to unlearn. [From Hcrr Felix Dreyschock, professor at the Stern Conservatory, Berlin, and Royal Music Master to the Emperor of Ger- many, to Professor Feuchtinpcr.] I rejoice to have this opjKirtunity to express my sincere and unqualified approbation of the artistic and faithful instruc- tion by which you have brought Miss C to her remarkable knowledge and sound manner of playing the piano. I am cncourage l to think that Miss C , thanks to her talent and your excellent instruction, will become not only a virtuoso but an artist. Yours with highest regard. Fkli.n Dh ' bvschock. Prof. Carl Showaltcr Hcrtzo Professor Hertzog, who becomes business manager of the Conservatory, as well as principal of the violin department and teacher of brass instruments, has had pronounced success with pupils of various schools, the Conservatory being the fifth school on whose musical faculty he has appeared. Before coming to Lebanon he was for two years bandmaster at the Los Angeles, Califomin. Military Academy, and since that time he has s| cnt a year with the best teachers of Europe, completing his studies, . iiioiig other famous teachers he studied mandolin according to the Neapolitan School, as taught in Leipzig by Herr Ut S cliick, Director of the Leipzig Mandolin and Guitar Club, Harmonic. During next August Professor Hertzog will direct the music for band and orchestra at Dr. King ' s Chautauqua at Findlay Lake, Xew York. (From Herr Prof. Paul Quasdorf, teacher of Harmony, Counterpoint, etc., in the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipzig, Germany. ] Mr. Carl S. Hertzog has taken private lessons with me in Harmony. He began from the beginning and worked through the entire scries of Jada.ssohn text-books on harmony in the short time of six weeks and began immediately on counterpoint. Mr. Hertzog showed talent, great interest and iron industry. His exercises were worked out excellently. With con- tinued earnest study he will afford us something of great virtue. Paul QuaSI OBI ' . Leipzig, 1901 (translation). The other members of the faculty are all experienced teachers. Mrs. Tanner comes to us with a record which is enviable. Mrs. Hamilton is a teacher of experience and of no little success. Miss McClain is a graduate of the best conservatory of the South. Miss Hayden. Miss Wade. Miss Poindcxter and Miss Grissom are teachers at the Lebanon College for Young Ladies. The number of their pupils and the gratifying work that is done is a testimonial sufficient. With a faculty like these named above Cumberland University will have the best Conservatory of Music in the South. The Southern Institute of Expression Byron W. King-, the head of the King- School of Oratory, located at Pittsburg-, Pa., has been secured to conduct a mid- winter institute for Cumberland University. His school is the most widely known of anj- in the North and West, and his success as a platform man and interpreter of Shakespeare is unequalled. For several years Mr. King-, assisted by members of the faculty of his Pittsburg- school, ha s conducted at Richmond, Va., what has been known as the Southern Institute of Expression. It is with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that we are able to announce to the students and friends of Cumberland University that this attraction will in the future be con- ducted at Lebanon under the auspices of the Cumberland University Conservatory of Music. For the following school 3 ' ear the Institute will occur throug-hout the week of Sunday, February 21st. It will be like nothing so much as a mid-winter Chau- tauqua. Its plan will be extensive and its scope very wide. Educators of the vicinity and from all over this part of Ten- nessee will be present as entertainers and instructors. In the daytime instruction will predominate and for the evening-s there will be given entertainments. Professor King will have his own stage manager with him and his scenery from his own excellent stock. There will be plant) ' of music and Professor King ' s lectures will be devoted to voice production, in which subject he is a master. His method, like that of the Conservatory, is based upon the Italian. There will be courses in voice development and culture, gesture and movement, gesture pantomime, analj ' sis of thought, memory training, etc. They will be adapted not only to singers, but equally to clergymen, teachers and students. Special attention will be g-iven to Bible and hymn readings and Shakespeare reading-s and studies. For a week of entertainment and instruction this will be one of the best of the year in Cumberland University.

Uncle Sam: That ' 03 Phcenix is a peach. The best of its kind I ever saw. I have only one objection; the Monroe Doctrine should have been printed on the title page. Mark Heanner : Teddy, here is the best book I ever saw. It is fine. I wish Mack could have seen it before he died. You read it Teddy, while I run for President. Mrs. Nashuns: When I am not using my hatchet I spend my time reading the ' 03 Phcenix. There are no poker clubs in it nor saloon advertisements. Bry. ' Vn ' s Communer is the latest criticism on the Phcenix. In substance it says, No better college annual is published anywhere and it is in a splendid free silver district. Leb. non Democrat: Among all my fifty thousand exchanges I find the Phcenix the best and I read it the most. The Cumberland Weekly: There has never come into our building a more attractive publication than the Phcenix. We can get more suggestions and pictures from it than from anything else. We have an office full of comments equally as good as these, but modesty forbids any further mention. 5 i J«A 4 A Last Word And now, kind reader, it only remains to thank those who have by their faithful efforts helped to make this volume of the Phcenix a success. For the Art Work in this book we are indebted to Messrs. A. M. Williams and R. C. Foster and Miss Florence Earle McKay. The financial success of the enterprise is due to the indefatigable efforts of Chas. H. Kimbroug-h, the energetic Business Manager.
