To You, DR. ANDREW H. BUCHANAN, For half a century a substantial part of Old Cumberland, still in the strength of vigorous manhood, a master among minds and a nobleman among men, the 1905 Phoenix is most heartily and respectfully dedicated by THE EDITORIAL STAFF. CumbeHand University I HE history of any country is made up of the biographies of its great men. This general proposition may very fittingly be applied to the life-story of the venerable Cumberland University. Her great men — founders, professors, trustees and loyal sons — have played no small part in the shaping of the destiny of the Republic. Heroes do not sink warships and carry the flag on gory battlefields ; heroes are not in senate chambers and presidents ' mansions. Heroes are men who do all these, or things as great as these, and receive not the honors, the recognition. Heroes are men who live lives of obscurity, perhaps, but nevertheless lives characterized by singleness of purpose, loyalty to truth and inflexible devotion to principle. Such men have made Cumber- land University ; and if you would know her history, read the biographies of Robert L. Caruthers, Nathan Green, Sr., Richard E. Beard, S. G. Burney and the noble company of faithful professors to-day laboring within her sacred walls. It is not easy to say too much in the praise of these lives of true heroism. But, as to the achievements of the institution, the sort of men sent from under her protecting wings out into the battle of life, — read their thousands of biographies. They have fought their way into the high places of the earth. No redoubts have been too strong for them to demolish. No heights have been too great for them to scale. They have captured the legislatures. They have ascended the tripod. They have taken possession of the temples of justice. They are in the front at the bar and high upon the bench. They are dispensing law from the highest tribunals of the land. They are from their places in Congress exposing the corruption of the money power, defending the people ' s rights from unjust taxation, and demanding genuine freedom for all wherever the star-spangled banner floats in the air. They have carried light and science to the dark places of the earth. They have attacked the strongholds of sin and put the devil himself to flight. They have carried the war into the enemy ' s country — into heathen lands — and have pulled down the black flag of Satan and in its stead raised aloft the blood-stained ' banner of the cross. Now and then a soldier falls, but, God be praised, another steps in, and the ranks are filled. And so it is ; though her heroes do fall and moulder in the ground, still old Cumberland, dear old Cumberland, grand old Cumberland, glorious old Cumberland, keeps marching on. Esto perpetua. Extract from an address by Ex-chancellor Nathan Green, delivered at his resignation of the chancellorship in 1900. lavTdlfarlillitrMl ; President David Earl Mitchell The president of Cumberland University is a fin- ished product of this age of the young man, the Twentieth Century. He is known far and wide as the youngest college or university president in the United States. He is a little man with a great mind and a great heart; a man whom men delight to honor; he is a prophet exalted in his own country; he is a leader among those who have been his leaders; the youthful helmsman of a great University. When the institution was in direst need, Mr. Mitch- ell was the man for the exigency. With his acces- sion to the president ' s chair in June, 1902, Cumber- land University began a new era of prosperity, and now her continued position in the front rank of insti- tutions of higher learning seems assured. By his substantial devotion to the institution, President Mitchell has forever endeared himself to the Univer- sity and town. Generous almost to a fault, he has dedicated a noble life to the education of the young men and women of our Commonwealth. ;3BV i r . — - Editorial Staff Editorial Sfhff ' •mi I I Binm i i p Board of Trustees A.

My dream pictured to me his great wings outstretched, a bird of gigantic size, such that under the shadow of one broad pinion, were seated with blanched faces, every member of that august body, the Facility of the School of Liberal Arts. Beneath the other wing were the shades of those who had gone before, apparently brought forth to make even more gruesome the prospect before the trembling: Faculty. And where was I? O, I was among the unlimited throng that formed the audience, gathered together to witness the fate of those to be judged, an assembly made up chiefly of busted college students and pseudo-alumni. Now that all seemed to be ready, a name, followed by a string of degrees and titles, like the tail of a boy ' s kite, was called, and forth stepped Dean Buchanan. Dean Buchanan, spake the Phcenix, you are to answer to the charge of having led the singing on a certain Thursday morning, and it is reported that you led it into — well, I won ' t say right here. Have you any- thing to offer as a defense? A — a — a — guilty, was the confused reply of the Dean, and then under his breath, If I had only learned to sing in Prep! But I noticed a twinkle in the goggle eye of the overshadowing bird. There- upon he requested the Dean to sing. The effort sent echoes from cavern to cavern and made me shudder till I shook the hard bench on which I sat. The test was over, and with a voice of kindness and softened with admiration, the Phoenix dismissed him, saying, If a daily journey in the Master ' s foot- steps, and an unswe rving loyalty to old Cumberland through thick and thin, isn ' t a whole life of song, then I have missed my cue. Professor McLaughlin, it is recorded that you were accustomed to say some pretty hard things about the ' silly minded freshman! ' ejaculated the bird, in a voice midway between the scream of an eagle, and the first effort of a spring fryer to awake sleeping humanity. As the man of classics arose he seemed to be in a dream and was heard to murmur, Why do goats eat tin cans? Suddenly collecting his senses he hastened to explain, I — I — got that from a Sophomore. The Phoenix gave a desperate flop to regain his balance, for he was not exactly prepared for such a turn of affairs, but managed to say, Should a burning desire to derive the best teaching, the best thought, from the dead past and instill it into the min ds and hearts of true American youth be offset by one misquotation? Why, of course not. Then abruptly he called: Professor Weir! Do you remember of having said that ' education is a cure for all things? ' Yes. WeU, the Seniors deny that it cures the habit of talking around the radiator in the hall. No, no! answered the professor. They have made a mistake in the premises. Don ' t you see that the faster they are educated, and graduated, the sooner they will quit it? The Phoenix all but turned a somersault for joy, quite unbecoming to a judge. I told you so, he vociferated. It would take more than a Senior to fool Professor Weir. He hasn ' t made a life study of the human mind for nothing. When you get ahead of him you will have to sleep with one eye open, and get up before the mocking-bird. But this exultant look was followed by one of great seriousness and grave apprehension as he called out the name of Professor Rice. Before going into the details of this awful charge, my poor professor, let me offer you my 19 Laban Laey Biee, A.B., Ph.D. Laban Lacy Rice, English Lan- guage and Literature, A.B. and Ph.D., Cumberland University; later in- structor in Auburn Seminary; since 1894 with intermission of two years) in Faculty of C.

Extending one huge foot to the trembhng professor, he continued: The shade of every man who ever guided a pen across parch- ment is on the warpath for your scalp. They charge you one and all with knowing more about their works than they do themselves, and very justly maintain that this is a dangerous state of affairs. So you would do well to steer clear of the land of spirits. Best keep indoors after night, too. And then with a hungry and none too confident look he turned to Pro- fessor Waterhouse and spoke in his most majestic tone, Professor Water- house. Dynamite-and-sulphuric-acid! said the professor, with such emphasis that the great bird flew up against the ceiling with a terrific crash. But when he alighted he grabbed the over-confident prof, by his coat collar in a style that was conducive to speedy repentance. Now, Sir, I ' ve got you, and if you don ' t banquet this crowd better than ever you feasted a chem- istry class at examination, I ' ll — but suddenly he remembered that anger didn ' t exactly become a Justice and, in repentance, recalling all the labor of the defendant in the cause of education, his unstinted efi ' ort to advance his chosen science, and the many good things that he had done for his department, muttered, The sentence is revoked. Then was exhibited a still further proof of his real kindness of heart. In spite of his forbidding exterior and apparent harshness, he called Professors Kimbrough and A ' alker up together, and knowing full well that two such callow youths would be afraid to stand up alone, he said, I have charges against you ranging in seriousness from — Ah, well, the leading charge is loving the co-eds ; but knowing as I do that you are both proud sons of old Cumber- land, a most worthy mother, and not wishing to discourage you, I ' ll prove false to my charge. May the many succeeding years of your professorships ever increase the value and usefulness of your service for your alma mater. The last professor had been acquitted. Having thus rendered a somewhat unique series of decisions, with a majestic sweep of his broad wing, the noble judge, the Phoenix, bade the court farewell for another year, and, as he disap- peared behind the clouds sent back in his stridulent voice, now become fa- miUar, a promise to publish the fame of old Cumberland and her peerless body of instructors at a height never attained by man, where the angels dwell — till they decide to come to earth to figure as Co-eds in Cumberland University. We love them all, indeed we do. Professors kind and good and true: No land can boast so wise a band As that which guides Old Cumberland. 21 Senior Magnificat Ever since time and the world began Has been the efforts of the race of man To rise to a higher plane in life By the means of diUgent mental strife. But of all races that e ' er have striven For the heights of fame, not one has risen, Until it pleased the gods to crown Our present race with this renown. There was a Senior Class in the year ' 05 That four long years in a very hive Of industry had sought to win Prestige over Minerva e ' en. But that you may better observe their worth, In justice to them I must unearth Their closest secrets, their hobbies and pleasures That stifle success and true worth measures. First, there is Barke — our president. On a theolog ' s Ufe so sternly bent, That he found it too hard to narrow his mind To trivial things of Senior kind. Then comes that mystery — Scott McClain, Whom each effort to fathom will prove more vain; Minerva rare gifts upon him had bestowed. But he scorned them for sly Cupid ' s thankless load. And as for our own Sentimental Thomas, — A youth of the rarest and richest promise — Alas, bowed down with the co-ed rule, He forgot his first object in coming to school. Oiu eloquent orator, let him now speak — Although most timid, modest and meek, Yet through Arthiu- there shines a Demosthenes, Addressing the world with most exquisite ease. Indeed a prodigy you ' re stu-e to find In our theolog Suddarth — of noble mind — But who spends all his time in the country around Gathering Knowledge, of course, most profound. Of our fair Kate what shall I say? How tell you the stumbUng-blocks in her way? I can only whisper — the largest by far. Has been her mad love for a football star. And now for OpheUa, whose trouble has been That out of the three of her closest friends She has tried to choose Hamlet in vain — and alas ! This has wrecked her career — both in love and in class. And now I with pride will present unto you This Senior class so tried and so true. Who in spite of such odds to the world has given A name that rivals Minerva ' s even. — John Milton, ' OS. 22 Seniors w. OFFICERS Barksdale, President S. McClain, Athletic Representative A. W.

Barksdale, our class president, is a gay and festive cuss hailing from Louisiana. Once before, in 1902, he was elected to the same office. Mr. Barksdale ' s strong points are riding jacks and making good grades in mathematics. But he has his weaknesses — the principal one of which is reading the poems of Tommy- Moore and Bobby Burns. For any thing further on Mr. Barksdale ' s his- tory consult the pages of fame fifty years hence. Miss J. Ophelia Bledsoe Miss J. Ophelia Bledsoe is from West Tennessee and a graduate of the M. C. F. Institute at Jackson. She is taking graduate work in Cumberland in English Literature. Her name will be found elsewhere in The Phcenix in connection with the Tennis Club and other organizations. She is also well known in the sorority world of Cumberland. She was chosen poet for the Senior Class. Thomas Q. tlinson With great pleasure The Phcenix introduces Thomas G. Hinson. Dur- ing his four years in Cumberland he has gained the love of every student, especially the co-eds, — and has be- come the pride of Professors Buchanan and McLaughlin. He is also a mem- ber of the University quartette. The class showed its appreciation of the talents and honesty of Mr. Hinson by electing him Class Treasurer. We pre- dict that he will make a great name in the world for himself and for his alma mater. W. Wallace Suddarth The most distinguished athlete of the Senior Class is W. Wallace Sud- darth. Many a time has he bucked Cumberland to victory on the football 24 Miss Kate A. Hinds Miss Kate A. Hixds is a daughter of Lebanon, graduating in Cum- berland in the class of 1904 and is now working for an A.M. degree. She is captain of the girls ' basketball team and a prominent personage when it is necessary to cheer the ' Varsity on to victory in a football contest. Enthus- iastic? Yes, and more, too, as every Cumberland student can affirm. In sorority circles Miss Hinds is a well- known figure, and in fact she will be missed in Cumberland next year. She was elected class prophet. J. Scott McCIain J. Scott McClain was our class pres- ident in 1904. He has been honored with many offices in the athletic, fra- ternity and social world of Cumber- land, which honors will be found in the register of the class. Mr. McClain had the unique fortune to fall in love with a different co-ed each of his first three college years ; but we are pleased to say that he has at last seen in some meas- ure the error of his ways and this year he has not repeated the offence. The Phcexix congratulates him in thus up- holding the dignitv of the Senior Class. A. W. Smith A. W. Smith is from Pennsylvania and the only Yankee in the class. He has been at Cumberland for four years and was president of the class in the Sophomore year. His principal failing is cutting classes. If you ask him why, he will tell you that he is entitled to nine absences per term and is going to take them. We hope he will manage to wrest a shee]:)skin from the hands of the reluctant Faculty and leave Cumberland never to return again. field and thrown deciding goals in basketball. Last fall he was coach for Castle Heights ' football team. Rut with all his strength and energy he has one weak point. He will make love to every five-foot-four co-ed that conies to Cumljerland. W ' c commend the co-eds for having little to do with him. 25 There once was a comely Co-ed Who ' d smashed many hearts, ' tis said. She came to C. U., Where she broke quite a few, Which put her clear out of her head. There once was a festive young Lit., Who from heart to heart would flit, ' Til a Lebanon girl Rounded him to with a whirl, And now he is willing to quit. There are a few boys at the Dorm., Who captured coy maidens by storm, ' Til a cruel coquette Caught them aU in her net And frapped their yoimg hearts so warm. 26 Juniors Motto ' Iron that lies still soon gathers rust.

We don ' t know it all or we wouldn ' t be here ; but we are trying hard to learn. We work hard all the time, not because we like to, but be- cause we believe it is the only way to succeed. Some classes are stuck on themselves, but we are not that way, rather allowing other people a show and believing that just as smart people will follow us as have preceded or as we our- selves are. We make our final bow to upper classmen this year, and when Sep- tember sees us assembled once more within these classic walls, they will all be compelled to look up to us, save a few of the professors. We hope to justify our ONE claim of being the best looking class in the whole university. Three of us hope to make preachers, big ones, too. Two will assist as civil engineers in digging the big ditch across Panama. Two of our ladies and one man will go upon the lyceum platform. One man will enter the law profession, and the remaining one will enter the field of higher education. The other lady will marry if she never does anything else. There was a flirty L. Y. C. L. Who wanted to reign as a belle. But she found that the teachers Had a cinch on the Preachers, And the Law boys and Lits as well. A hen stood on the Dormi steps And gazed up wistful at the wall.

It has been well represented in all spheres of University life. The instructors still consult it, when investigating any newly discovered problem which tends to revo- lutionize the methods of scientific re- search. It numbers among its members stars in football, in basketball, and in baseball. That it is composed of great financiers is evinced by the fact that it has furnished the business managers of the football and of the basketball teams, and of the Phcenix in 1904 and 1905. Orators are abundant, — a Sophomore will represent Cumberland in the Intercol- legiate Oratorical Contest ; and they were Sophomores who defeated the law- yers in debate. In fact, the Sophomores of the present year have accomplished great things in the past, and intend to accomplish still greater in the future. How wise we are indeed! How it is Spelled lowly up the hill we ' re trudging (jn the road to Senior wisdom; J hools we ' re now, still dumbly drudging, arder none in all the kingdom. (jn the way so slow we journey, — j £ayhe some sweet day — our grinding (yver, done the joust and tourney, — J eward sweet, and myrtle binding Ji ach pale brow, our hard-fought years will crown. -The Class Poet. 34 Freshmen Motto Quod est eo decet uti; et quicquid agas agere pro viribus.

He who runs may read o J W. Bartmess.— How can I get to school on time? Class begins at 8.00 and Prof, marks us absent if we are five minutes tardy. Answer: That ' s easy; get up five minutes eariier. J. W. Bone.— Why does Professor Mack always refer everything to me Answer: Because he appreciates the classic material of which you are made. - ■ - ! - Zz9 y° g ve le any advice as to how I am to conduct myself when bHE, after having promised to love me eternally, marries another fellow within two months ? Answer: Take courage; brace up. If you can ' t catch one fish, go catch nother. ° H. L. Claggett.— What is the best dye for red hair? iv.i ? ' 7 - ° ' ° ' ° y over your leonine locks, for when that little black-eyed vixen takes you in charge your head will no longer be red— but bald. • ' -■R- Cummings — How can I keep my L. C. Y. L. sweetheart from flirt- ing with other boys ? Answer: We advise you not to attempt it. Varium et mutabile semper jemtna. ■ 1T J W I)ENNEY.— I have been trying to determine what my vocation in lite should be. Can you help me decide? Answer: We have come to the conclusion, after studving your case that you ought to be and probably will be something of an— er— well, some, thing of an erratic genius. W. D. Franks.— What is the best way to make my roommate stop in- flicting tales on me about his girl? i ' swEr: The most effective way would be to stuff a sheet in his mouth. W. W. C iLE.— I have been wanting to go to the L. C. Y. L. for a long time. Can you tell me how to effect an entrance ? Answer: You might borrow your cousin ' s white dress. Alberta Halsey. — Which of my many admirers should I marry? Answer: Do not marry any of them— until you get a proposal. Do not be fastidious, but take any you can get. J. B. Havron. — I think it would improve my personal appearance to have curly hair. Please suggest some way to attain this end. Answer: You might buy a curly wig unless you know two girls who would be kind enough to apply the curUng irons for you. LuciivE Howe. — Do you suppose that if Mr. L. knew I had a season ticket he would take me to the Lyceum? Answer: No doubt he would, for we have heard that Ichabod loves pleasure on a cheap scale. Irene Logan. — I have been censured for showing a decided preference for a Sophomore rather than for one of my own classmates. Do you not think I should be allowed to like whom I please? Answer: In most cases, yes; but you should have discretion enough not to bestow your affections on a pompous Sophomore. N. T. Lowry. — Can you tell me how I can put out of business all my rivals for the popular elocutionist ' s time and affections ? Answer: Furnish her with a bunch of chewing gum daily, walk home from school with her regularly, call on her every evening and on Sunday after- noon, too, and feed her lavishly with taffy. If this formula is faithfully followed for some ten weeks, no one else will get much of her time. _ JEANE McKiNNEY. — What is the best way to let the boys here know why it is I don ' t want to go with them? Answer: We see no harm in telling them frankly about your Arkansas man. Annie Lee McLean. — When a young man stays until twelve o ' clock how is the girl to keep from being sleepy the next day? Answer: We would advise her every seven and a quarter minutes to think of the last thing he said the night before. This will probably pro- duce the desired effect. 36 Elaine Martin. — Can you tell me what indefinable and subtle element it was in Mr. Hudson ' s oration that so fascinated me? Answer: There was a Lancelot in it. Clara Miller. — I have broken two pairs of scissors, a comb and a paper- knife, signalling to the person who rooms just above me. Can you tell me some cheaper method of communication? Answer: Why not invite the person down to your room for a quiet chat? E. J. Mitchell. — My room-mate took a young lady to the third number on the Lyceum Course and the next morning I missed fifty cents. The evi- dence against him, you see, is conclusive. What can I do to help him over- come his thievish habits? Answer: You had better remove temptation from his way next time by carrying a girl yourself with the fifty cents. L. P. Parker. — How can I regain the affections of my Lydia? Answer: Tell her your troubles. There is nothing like it for bringing a girl around and making her sympathize with you. W. H. Polk. — What kind of tie is most becoming to my style of beauty? Answer: Polka-dot. J. L. Reynolds. — Will you condescend to reveal to me the cause of my rapidly approaching baldness? Answer : O, ignorant Freshman ! know ye not that your baldness is caused by falUng hair? We would advise, however, that you use Neely ' s Forty- four-Horse-Power Balsam. W. R. Seat. — After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that I am a lady-killer. Do you think I am justified in this opinion? Answer: We hardly like to answer so delicate a question. Your looking- glass might perhaps furnish you with the desired information. Julia Waters. — How can I alienate my affections from the Castle Heights boys, since, I suppose, it is my duty to love Cumberland boys now? Answer: Cultivate a vivid imagination. Then maybe you will learn to think that Cumberland boys really give you candy once in a while , that they do take you driving occasionally, etc. In short, you must get the idea that they are what they are not. D. P. WiMBERLY. — Is it ever proper to begin a letter to a girl, My dear little chocolate drop? Answer: It is decidedly out of place unless she is colored. We ' re It Though earthquakes jostle all the earth, And forked lightnings singe her face. She still must smile on Freshman worth And honor all the Freshman race; Feel proud she gave to Freshmen birth And tender them an honored place. For well you know that Sophomores Are hardly fit to keep indoors; And some might think the Junior gangs Were but a tribe of ' rang-o -tangs; And even our dear Senior owls Resemble common guinea fowls. We Freshmen are of brainy weight; From us e ' en Profs, much good derive; We ' re wise enough to graduate, But onward still we toil and strive To be both noble, true and great — Illustrious Freshmen — nineteen- five. — The Class Poet. 38 Caruthers Literary Society R oH of Members Barlow, E.

The strength of Old Caruthers increases as resistlessly as the years that perpetuate her fame. Never before was such preparation manifest in the various duties of her interesting programs, never such spirited and hotly contested debates, never such eloquent orations or such masterly essays. Her four walls still echo to the classic voices of future statesmen, of in- cipient divines, and of budding legal hghts as of old. Beneath her magic spell the celebrities of antiquity rise up before us, and the thunder of De- mosthenes is mingled with the defiant tones of Cicero. The ancient Forum becomes a living reality, while before us there comes a mental picttu ' e of the world ' s greatest orators, hiding from view the contestants of the evening. The would-be student looks forward to the day when he may become a member of her illustrious band, the student glories in the enjoyment of that all-surpassing reality, while the alumnus looks back and sighs for the winter evenings that he whiled away around Old Caruthers fireside. College men can be college men but once. College friendships and col- lege ties may some day be forgotten, but he who has been a member of Ca- ruthers once, is joined to his fellow members by bonds that no earthly dis- tance or fortune is able to sever. Be he on the ice-bound shores of the far off North-land, yet, in the innermost depths of his heart of hearts there will remain one warm spot for her, the guardian angel of his Saturday evenings. Be he under the torrid heat of a tropical sun, still his mind will drift back over the weary miles of his travel, and recall the care-free hours of his lit- erary society association. November nineteenth witnessed one of the crowning features of the present year in Hterary society work. It was on that evening, long memorable to the members and visitors present, that Caruthers met the Philomatheans and successfully defended her fair name in an inter-society debate. When she looks back over the past fifteen years of her existence as a society, and sees the success that her former members have achieved in the busy fields of labor, she is indeed rejoiced, and yet, bright as has been her past, her greatest hope is that the future may bring forth richer and richer fruits as the years go rolling by. Caruthers ' sons, a loyal band. O ' er earth ' s broad shore are scattered wide ; But yet they say o ' er all the land, Caruthers still ' s our greatest pride. What men they are, these many sons, For each and all their motto deem, That of their college days, which runs To be I wish, and not to seem. (Motto.) 40 ciy t. i -LnRo. llfDloqn J. a. HENR.Y, B.D., Practical Theology. Dean of Theological School. Dean Henry hails from the ' ' goober state of Georgia. His extreme length made it desirable that he should not follow the vocation of his nativity (goober grabbling) . Since his boyhood he has gone his full length (with arms akimbo) into everything in which he has engaged. No one ever says good-bye to him, they just look up and say so long. Dean Henry came to the Seminary in 1902 and has manifested great interest in the growth of this Department. He is ever on the lookout for young ministers needing an education, and never misses an opportunity to give a fellow a lift, just when he needs it. The students have enjoyed the benefit of hearing the best evangelistic and Sunday school lecturers that the Nation affords, since Dean Henry ' s advent at the Seminary. He is an ardent admirer of athletics, believing that ministers as well as other men should have strong bodies, bright minds and warm hearts. His long experience as a practical pastor serv es him well in this Department. Via trita, via tuta. B. V. F05TEIi, D.D., Systematic Theology. Robert Y. Foster (originally spelled Faster) is a native of Tennessee. There is a sense in which he is still Foster, and yet another sense in which he is still Faster. He is Foster in joking, and Faster in joking about himself. He is Faster in that he is in the front rank of the scholars of to-day, and he is Foster in that he is earnestly endeavoring to bring others to his advanced position. Dr. Foster is widely known as a writer and much beloved as a teacher. He is a leader among scholars and a prince among men. For more than a quarter of a century he has moulded into shape much of the thought of the ministry of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Favored, indeed, are those who sit under his instruction. He leads the student of theology along paths familiar to himself into the ever-blooming garden of Systematic Theology, where he points out the beauty of the lily and the fragrance of the rose, never forgetting to warn of the prick of the thistle and the poison of the ivy. Semper fidelis, semper idem. F. K. FABB, C.E., B.D., Hebrew and Old Testament Interpretation. Finis King Farr (or Furr) is from the old trapping state of the West. The que.stion naturally arises, how Far(r) west? It is difficult to say; some- times he is back in Egypt with Rameses II; sometimes he is five hundred pages ahead with Davidson and Driver. Another question is — what Farr? That is less difficult when you remember the rising generation of F. K. F ' s.: it is to keep the students awake nights and, when occasion oft ' ers, to dispel errors regarding the Old Testament. Professor Farr is deeply interested in all departments of University life. No one is more thorough or painstaking in his work and the student who works in this Department as it is outlined for him by the Professor, reaps a harvest of good things. Professor Farr ' s first name. Finis, is an abbreviation for FINEST, and applies fittingly to his abiUty as an instructor. Among teachers. Professor Farr easily takes first rank. Age quod agis, a jond. 44 W. p. BONE, A.M., New Testament Greek and Interpretation. Winstead P. Bone is a Texan. Bone counts for much in Texas, as well as in other parts of the country. There is also much variety in Bone. When the rich treasiu es of his mind are considered, he seems all ham -bone; when his incHnation to stay overtime is considered he seems all back-bone; on ex- amination he is like Ezekiel ' s Valley of dry-bones, all clothed, and with an exclamation point in each hand. Professor Bone ' s thorough scholarship, deep spirituahty, and intense love for his work, make him a power in the University. Through his influence many young men have come to the Uni- versity, and in him all earnest -minded students find a warm and true friend. In the Sunday school literature of the Church, many, who do not other- wise learn of him, are blessed by his labors. Numqiulm non paratus. K. Q. PEARSON, D.D., English Bible and Evangelistic Methods. Robert G. Pearson first saw the Hght on a cotton plantation in Mississippi. Hence his aversion to everything which does not appear to be white. Origi- nally the name Pearson was a firm name — Pear(s)(and)son; later the son got a controlhng interest and has continued to run the business in his own name. Dr. Pearson brings to the University the result of many years of experi- ence. A keen observer of raen and a close student of the Bible enables him to place before the students much that will be of benefit to them. We all love him. He has great reverence for the Bible and a great desire to see its truths accepted and practiced among men. Homo unius libri. J. V. STEPHENS, D.D., Eeclesiastieal History. John Vant Stephens came from the state where men have to be shown ; but it does not bother him now — except at times. Originally his name was John Van, the tea (t) was given to him by the grocer, his brother got the step (Step) at the country schoolhouse and the hens (hens) he caught himself on the prairie, John Van(t) (Step) (hens), John Vant Stephens. He likes a joke; and the more it is on the other fellow, the better he likes it. Dr. Stephens is capable, qualified and ready. His familiarity with the history of the Church in the past is the result of deep research and careful study. His love for the Church is only eqiialled by his work for it. The Pan-Presbyterian AlUance, Western Section, several years ago honored itself by honoring Dr. Stephens with a seat in its annual assembly. Juris peritus. C. H. BELL, A.M., D.D., Missions and Apologetics. This Bell began its ringing in Mississippi a number (the number is un- known) of years ago, and has been ringing ever since. Dr. Bell ' s silver- crowned head reminds one of the snow-mantled earth and the tinkling of the sleighbells, his bright, cheerful face of wedding bells, while all these years his heart of pure gold has sounded a note as clear and as true as the one which came from the famous Liberty Bell, which made known to the world American Independence. UnHke the Liberty Bell this instrument of flesh and blood will send forth the music of his soul forever aye, and even now the echo of his noble work comes back to us from distant shores. No one in the University is younger in spirit, warmer of heart or more intense in purpose than is Dr. Bell. His more than twenty years of labor in the Seminary, together with the museum of missions, which he and Mrs. Bell have collected, are living testimony of the life-purpose of the man, his love for God and for all mankind.

And their number from twenty years old and upward was thirty and five. Then they drew near the Moimt of Knowledge and approached even unto the Hill of Wisdom. And lifting up their eyes, some beheld the glory and the excellency thereof and their hearts were glad within them, and they said: We will go up and possess the land which our eyes have seen. But others said, This thing is too great for us. So there was a division among the prophets. And certain of the prophets ceased from fol- lowing after their brethren, and behold, their names are blotted out of the book of rememberance even forever more. And when the days were about to be fulfilled when they should be scattered for a season, they agreed among themselves saying, No longer shall we be called Juvenis (which being interpreted meaneth green), but let us take unto ourselves the name Medius, for we have striven with this Mount and prevailed even unto the midst of it. And it was so. And about the space of one hundred and two score and ten days the prophets again assembled themselves together on the Mount of Lebanon that wisdom might not fail and knowledge perish utterly from the earth. Now the rest of the acts of the Medii and the deeds that they did and the fame of their wisdom, are they not written in the book of the Faculties of the prophets?

We are a wide class, — if not a broad one. We came, some of us, from the land where a man holds a panther by the tail T and beats him to death with a rattlesnake — in short, from Texas. (Mallard, Means, B. G. Taylor and Davis.) One of us came from the Mississippi — the state, not the river (Crawford). Some of us are from ole Kaintuck, and we didn ' t come from Breathitt county, either (Gray, McMican and A. J. Taylor). Others of us came from Arkansas — now laugh! — the other side of the frogs (Hulse and Orr) ! And one of us came from down South — Here We Rest (John Calhoun Daniel Webster Cato McClung). Then again, another one of us went from Texas to Illinois and got him a wife, went to Rome and came back, and he is from Lebanon, now (Beecham, Benjamin Good). Still another one of us came from Whales, Hengland, where people are sometimes hill, never sick, the arch-inter- rogater (Grice). Then again, some of us did not come from any -here, we are just Tennesseans (Hutchison, Strong and Streete). Well, this finishes up where we are from But there is another peculiarity about us: namely, some have wives, some have none. But none of these things have bothered us like the problem, How to reconcile Moorehead and Kent. It is a knotty one, but trust us for its solution. A problem not less vexing was that with regard to asking questions. But Dr. Pearson settled that in a few clear cut sentences, so we may take up the first-named problem unhampered, investigate it from different points of view and pursue it to the mighty deep.

Wear 55 Heurethelian Society HE year has been characterized as one of the most interesting and profitable in the history of the society. The membership has been large, and phenomenal in its percentage of regular attendance, with marked enthusiasm for and loyalty to the society and its work. Xor has the interest in the society been confined alto- gether to its members, as was evidenced by the fact of the large number of visitors during the year. Some very radical changes have been made in the constitution and by-laws, which is another indication of the society, being wide-awake and not satisfied to drag along in old ruts. Arrangements were made in the amendments to the constitution and by-laws to have two annual public pro- grams in the society itself and one joint meeting with the other two Hterary societies of the University. Permanent arrangements were also made to have the orators elected early in the fall term so that they might have ample time to prepare for the society contest which is to take place each year at the second meeting in February. Many other helpful changes were made in the laws of the soci- ety. We are altogether proud of the year ' s work just passed and are looking forward with great anticipations and much enthusiasm for the work of next year. The Law Faculty Cumberland University is indeed fortunate in having for its instructors in the Law Department Judge N. Green, Dr. A. B. Martin and Judge W. E. Caldwell. They are profound lawyers, and long experience as Law professors renders them peerless instructors. No man graduates from the Law School of Cumberland University without feeling that he has been indeed most for- tunate in being permitted to come in daily contact with these grand old men. We are taught law as only they can teach it; their noble example is an in- spiration to each and every student. They engender in the minds of their pupils a desire to be truly great lawyers; to stand at the top in their profession. Long may these good and great men live to continue their noble work! NATHAN GREEN, A.B., LL.D. Nathan Green, LL.D., took A.B. degree in Cumberland University in 1847; LL.B. in 1849; accepted chair in Law School of alma mater 1856; LL.D conferred by Center College, Kentucky, in 1873; Chancellor of Uni- versity from 1873 to 1899, at which time he resigned. His life is gentle, and the elements are so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, This is a man! The truest and most courteous of gentlemen; a lover of music, poetry, flowers and beautiful women. ANDREW B. MARTIN, LL.D. Andrew B. Martin, LL.D., graduated from the I aw Department of Cmn- berland University in 1859; elected to professorship in his alma mater, 1878; made president Board of Trustees, 1862; LL.D conferred by Lincoln College, 1883. Gifted with such kindness of heart and singular tact for administration that he makes every one his friend who comes in contact with him. His love for the young people is onl 3 equalled by their universal appreciation of him. W. E. CALDWELL, LL.B. W. E. Caldwell, LL.B., graduated from Cumberland University in 1873; took LL.B. degree from same University in 1874; Justice of the Supreme Court of T ennessee from 1886 to 1Q02, when he resigned to accept the pro- fessorship of Constitutional Law in his alma mxiter. A judge of wide and good repute is he, Who will have justice rather than a fee. He possesses all those qualities of mind and heart that cause him to be highly treasured by his companions, admired and respected by his pupils. 60 Senior Law Class OFFICER.S S. L. KiRKPATRiCK . .

We are law- yers de facta, and the future with her boundless treasures is open before us. No man in this class will fail to avail himself of every opportunity that leads to success. The class of ' 05 is composed of fifty men, men. in all the word impHes. They came from the various walks and avenues of life. We have in the class preachers, doctors, newspaper reporters, farmers, teachers, clerks, college graduates, athletes of all kinds, politicians who are safe, sound and sane, society men, and many men who would hke to be millionaires. The Class of 1905 is a .strong class and so recognized, — a class of studious men. They came from the four corners of our great and glorious Union. Tennessee has furnished the class poets, orators, football players and states- men to be; Mississippi our judge and gentlemen of leisure; Kentuckv our ad- mirers of pretty women, and lovers of Bourbon; Illinois a gentle lovable, orderly A ' olfe, who is a gentleman in the fullest significance of the term; Texas our Long Fellow and other fellows, all of whom are t -pical of that great State, men of lofty ideals; Colorado, her own future governor; Oklahoma has furnished to us our generals and orators; West ' irginia has given us our liar; Florida our society men; Washington has furnished, just for a while, some of her best sons. It can be truthfully said of each and every one of the Class of 1905, that they are jolly good fellows, who will honor their alma mater, whom each of them loves as his first love. The Law Department of Cumberland University stands at the top; more great lawyers and statesmen of national repute are graduates of this law school than any other in the land. Why is this? It is but the logical out- come; it is the inevitable result of conditions here. Judge N. Green, Dr. A. B. Martin and Judge W. C. Caldwell are at the head of the Law Department of Cumberland University. They are peerless instructors, they represent the highest tvpe of noble manhood, they inculcate into the minds of the men whom they instruct a desire to rise higher in the estimation of their country- men; they teach us lofty ideals as well as law, and they teach well these things. ' erily, verily, the country does not possess three more efficient instructors, three more lovable men. 63 Junior Law Class Motto Non sibi, sed patricC (Not for himself, but for his country).

This aggregation is commonly known as the Junior Law Class. We came with high hope and though we have realized that the struggle is fierce, still our hopes are not crushed, for tutored by such men as Judge Green and Dr. Martin, we feel that suc- cess is ours. We leave in high spirits, not because we are tired of law, but because we are half way to the coveted goal. Let us then in going out to grapple with problems of life always be true to our motto, Not for our- selves, but for our country. oa 66 l m m: -MMMl0 M Mid=Winter Graduating Law Class Officers A. L.

BOUTON 69 Philomathean Literary Society Its True Misfoi y; or, The R,ei§n of Peace and Harmony ANUARY 31, 1905, marked the fifty-seventh anniversary of the Philomathean Society of the Lebanon Law School, and in these years of stormy debate and eloquent oratory, who can tell of the numberless questions of vital importance to the Nation ' s peace, prosperity and happiness that have been forever settled by these champions of liberty? It is a miniature government within itself, and all the fierce political struggles attending the affairs of Government are enacted within its historic walls. In many respects the present year has been a notable one in this august and eloquent congregation of legal luminaries. It has been a year replete with roaring speeches, flamboyant orations, fierce debates, repartee and par- liamentary flights, but most notable of all has it been a year of peace and harmony. The term was begun under the most auspicious circumstances. A class of eleven seniors, a remnant of last year, organized by electing each of them- selves to an office, there being just enough to go around, and then the fifty new juniors were added to the list of members, and the work of the term was inaugurated with a membership of sixty-one. Until the mid-term election, peace and tranquility prevailed and the members followed the pathways of lofty oratory. Questions that had long puzzled the minds of statesmen and politicians were discussed and settled for all time to come. Ghosts of Demosthenes, Caesar and the great Cicero were roused from their musty tombs, new echoes were set ringing and rever- berating and rolling away to gladden the ears of generations yet unborn. Orations were delivered that eclipsed the mighty efforts of IngersoU, Bryan, Bob Taylor, Sykes and Dannis; but it was chiefly in the great debates, the battle of the Giants, that the Nation ' s future was made secure and the dangers confronting its progress swept away as mists before the morning sun; it was chiefly in the debates that matters concerning the whole body of the Ameri- can people, the Japanese, the Filipinos, and the vexatious Negroes were dis- posed of. But while peace had perched upon the banners of the society thus far, harmony had not become complete, and it was not until the mid-term election that Harmony, in all its balm-breathing glory, dawned upon the Philoma- thean and gladdened the troubled hearts of its members. It was a har- monious election, a surprise to the society ' s friends and confusion to its enemies, if any it has. Since that election Peace has had a companion. Harmony, in its lofty perch upon the standards of the Philomathean, and tranquility and good will have prevailed. The membership of the society this year has come from the vast stretch of territory spread from Puget Sound to the Keys of Florida, and from Phila- delphia to the Rio Grande. There are cow-punchers from Texas, teachers, preachers, newspaper men, farmers, mountaineers, stenographers, merchants and manufacturers, and men from all the walks and avenues of life, but good fellows all. There are red heads, bald heads, bushyheads, and all kinds and varieties of heads, except soreheads. There are among its members future United States senators. Cabinet officers, congressmen. Supreme Court judges governors, legislators and eminent jurists. There are limitless possibilities in its timbe r, and the names of many of its members will be written high on the roll of Fame, a living tribute to the Lebanon Law School, its lovable faculty and their matchless instruction, and the excellent training and valuable lessons learned in the Philomathean Literary Society, the cradle of oratory and the nursery of statesmen. 70 I Moot Court HE Moot Court of the Cumberland University I aw School is unique in its thoroughness and its practical helpfulness. If you should happen to enter the law building on Saturday you would find the moot court system of the school exemplified in all of its details. One of the instructors sits as judge aud conducts the proceedings with all the strict- ness and decorum to be found in the most formal of the real courts of the land, while the young attorneys, realizing that they will be held to a strict account for any errors which they may commit in the conduct of their cases, prepare the necessary papers and argue the points of Law and Evidence with all the painstaking care of the actual practitioner. Since the work is compulsory, the court room is crowded with students, listening attentively to the young attorneys as they make their motions, read the papers they have prepared, argue the points of Eaw and Evidence or take their appeals. In this court all the proceedings and operations of a real court are ob- served and the student leaves the school with a splendid work- ing knowledge of court procedure and practice. On Wednesday of each week, the students hold their volun- tary court, with one of their own number sitting as judge. Here are heard heated argument on demurrers and frenzied appeals to stony-hearted jurymen. Here cases are conducted from Indict- ment to Sentence, from Summons to Judgment. We believe that the moot court system of the Eaw School is one of its strongest features. When a man graduates from the Law Department of Cumberland University he has had one year of actual practice, hence, when he appears before the judges of the various courts of the land, he will not feel that timidity which is the result of unpreparedness; he will know what to do and he will do it with the air of a veteran. We take a just pride in our Moot Court. JBsxt 72 a-iToYV. F. J. STOWE, O.M„ B.D., A.M., DEAN ROF. FRANK JAY STOWE was born at Lock- port, 111., in 1868. He entered the Emerson School of Oratory in the year of 1892 and four years later received his Master ' s degree. Though he was not gifted with any great power of speech, yet from early boyhood he had a burn- ing desire to be an Orator. And it was through his stud- ious application, overcoming defects in his voice, that he soon became one of the most eloquent and popular speakers on the lecture platform. Since his graduation from Emerson he has taught oratory in Lyndon Institute, and Waynesburg College, in Pennsylvania. In 1899 he received the degree of B.D. from Cumberland University, immediately after graduation he accepted the Chair of Oratory and History in Cumberland. The Trustees of the University feeling the need of a School of Oratory in the South opened one in September, 1902, with Profes- sor Stowe as Dean. Under his management it has grown rapidly and its influence is being felt. The Emer- sonian methods are used, emphasizing naturalness and individuality, just the opposite of the Delsarte school. Professor Stowe is a very busy man. In addition to his duties as teacher, he preaches and lectures throughout the South. He is president of the Southern Elocutionist Association and of the Intercollegiate Oratorical Associa- tion of Tennessee. One year ago Cumberland Univer- sity conferred the degree of A.M. upon him, and he will only have to continue his work to assure himself of greater honors in the future. 74 Oratory Class Mo Wo Nunc aut nunquam Colors Rainbow.

Oratoress The Year ' 04= ' 05 The second year ' s work of this department is closed with a degree of pride and satisfaction. Both in membership and attendance the class excels that of last year. The work has not been marked by a spirit of over- enthusiasm but by the keen and constant interest that characterizes the true seeker after knowledge. In fact, our work has been so pleasant as well as profitable that it was always with a feeling of deUght that we entered the class room. The well chosen motto, Now or never, has found its way into the heart of every student of oratory, and it is the proud boast of each one that this de- partment shall not be surpassed by any in Cumberland fin regard to the super- fine quality of its co-eds). We have not aspired to eloquence, but rather to attain what Longfellow happily calls the supreme excellence, which is simplicity. Can you estimate the value of such training, or would you wonder should a modern Demosthenes or Cicero be the harvest? I think the Universe in all Its pomp, the star-embroidered pall That night spreads over dead day ' s rosy, coffined face. The earth that blooms, the sun that bums, All make a mighty mill that turns In the deep, bankless river of the Orator ' s strength and grace. 76 Officers of Oratorical Associations Cumberland University R.

The Philomathean Society had foiu- contestants in their preliminary contest, while Caruthers and the Heurethelian each had three, from which we see that Mr. Hudson, the winner, and the representative of Caruthers Society, was compelled to win over ten contestants to earn the coveted honor of representing the University in the State contest in April. Cumberland University was awarded second place in the intercollegiate meet on April 14. The State contest being held here this year our local secretary and treas- urer are also the same for the State Association, while our own Professor St owe is the State president. 78 FRANK J.

In the Joint Debate between the Caruthers and the Philomathean societies on the night of November 14, the question was, Resolved, That a legislator should vote according to the instructions of his constituents in all cases. Messrs. Drane and Moore represented Caruthers on the negative side, while Messrs. Arnold and Black made splendid speeches for the affirmative for the Philomatheans. The judges were from the Heurethelian Society, and were Messrs. Price, Shelton and Rice. The decision was two to one for Caruthers. 8 81 .r ' - ' ?r--i4 r % S ' L X • ' r •J- J ' • r -«Vp .■ .

Flaniken The Oratorio as reported by The Cumberland Weekly. R ossini ' s Oratorio Will Be Given at Caruthei s Hall, FHday Evening, March 24 The production of a great work of art has always been considered an epoch in the intellectual history of the community in which such an art work is for the first time introduced. Nor is this mark of distinction confined to the towm or city alone, but to the entire section of country surrounding it. The impulse that a great art production generates is felt over a wide field and leaves its influence for a long space of time. The oratorios of Bach, Haydn, and especially of Handel and Mendelssohn, have created the musical taste of London. Paris, formerly, at least, the center of thought and culture, owes most of its fame to art and to artists. The production of Rossini ' s Stabat Mater, at Lebanon, March 24, ought to create an impulse of musical activity not to be easily forgotten or lost. The ultimate purpose of the oratorio is to elevate our souls, to purify oin lives, and, so far as art can conduce to such an end, to strengthen our faith and devotion to God. Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul and lifts it high, And wings it with sublime desires, And fits it to bespeak the Deity. — Addison. With more or less success all writers of oratorios have been striving to this end, each in his own way, and all subject to individuality, time and nation- ality. Bach wrote his Passion, according to St. Matthew, for the St. Thomas Church at Leipzig; Handel his Messiah for London audiences, and Rossini wrote the Stabat Mater for Paris. Heinrich Heine, the great German poet, was a friend of Rossini, and heard the first performance of the Stabat Mater given in Paris. He writes about it in a letter dated April 15, 1842: The ' Stabat Mater, ' by Rossini, was the most remarkable pro- duction of the last season. It is still the talk of the day. Modern historians accord to the Stabat Mater great brilliancy, effec- tiveness, and popularity. It contains some very beautiful chromatic writing; the Cujus Animam and Inflamatus are of especially entrancing beauty. The whole is in every way an art work of distinguished merit. The chorus parts will be sung by one hundred and ten well-trained, mixed voices. The soloists, five in number, are artists of renown. In thus furnish- ing an oratorio by Conservatory forces, the aim is to give deserving singers an opportunity for wide experience, to secure a imiform and serious rendition of such a noble work. The voices are supported by piano and organ accom- paniment, securing the effect and beauty of a large orchestra. Miss Florence Varney will be the pianist and Professor Waterhouse the organist. Mr. G. S. Moore has been elected business manager. Lebanon, Tenn., March, 1905. Eugene FeuchtingER. The Oratorio, Great Success Large Audience Enjoyed Offering of ConserA ' atoo ' of Music— Compliments Showered on Prof. Eugene Feuehtinger and His Pupils.— Recital of Secular Music Especially Brilliant. The Oratorio of the Conservatory of Music Thursday night, at Caruthers Hall, was quite the brilliant success that friends of the Conservatory had predicted. It was easily the most noteworthy musical offering in the history of Cumlaerland University, and through it Professor Feuchtinger has demonstrated himself to be a master of this most charming and difficult art. From first to last there was not a discord in the performance, the chorus of one hundred voices rendering the various numbers of the Oratorio with the ease and grace and smooth- ness of a single voice. Of the recital of secular music by dsiting artists, much of praise could be said. Each artist was encored repeatedly. Miss J. M. Sturdivant, of Chicago, soprano, was prevented from being present. Miss Corinne Taylor, of Nashville, appearing in her stead. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Colors Royal Purple and Old Gold. Flower Violet.

During its history in grand old Ciunberland it has seen the rise and fall of many Greek-letter fra- ternities, but we have struggled onward, and forsooth upward, till we have reached otu: present high standing. Through our Uberahty and our love for him who desires to absent himself from the barbaric world, and who is strugghng for knowledge as we see it, we have gone out into the world of darkness, among the law ' -ers beyond their bulwark of stratagem, among the haughty Lits, yes, even among the Theologs — sought and brought into our midst those who had coals of ' ' fratism and brotherly love lying dormant in their souls, and proceeded to fan the same into a beautiful Hght-giving fire. It has furnished its pro rata of men in aU the athletics. Its members stand at the top in college and class honors. Diuing the life of Lambda Chapter there have been nearly two hundred and fifty young men of the highest type initiated into the mysteries of Sig- ma- Alphadom. Many of ovu alumni are in touch with Lambda, and through the interest manifested by them it is plainly demonstrated, Once an S. A. E., always one. The past year has been one of the best, if not the best, in our history. Six old members returned, and to date nineteen have been initiated, making twenty-five active members. At present Sigma Alpha Epsilon can boast of being the most popular Greek-letter fraternity, nationally. It is represented in about seventy of the best colleges and universities in the United States, and is constantly increasing in chapters and membership. Men from her ranks have filled places of honor, with credit to them- selves, to our beloved order, and to our X ation, from the least to the greatest, including the Chief Executive of the United States of America. 90 lu_g !A l.• ri905 Si ma Alpha Epsilon Directory Province Alpha Massachusetts Beta Upsilon Boston University Massachusetts Iota Tau Institute of Technology Massachusetts Dewa Wooster Polytechnic Institute Massachusetts Gamma Harvard University Maine Aepha ■ .

Homeless Greeks Our tents stand deserted in distant lands; our chieftains look for us in vain; wandering Greeks are we, and often sigh for the hearty welcome, the bright glances, the low spoken words and sweet mtu-mrurs of voices of the warriors and maidens of our clans. Yet, we have solace in our sorrow, for, though we are wanderers from our native hills, we yet remain within the Grecian world and when weary from the war or chase, we may lay om-selves down within the tents of fellow Greeks, distant kinsmen; and, while hstening to the tales of th eir great warriors and the musical voices of their maidens, dream dreams of the time when once again we may wander within our native vales and tell to our clansmen the hospitality and courtesy of those Greeks with whom we spent the years of our absence. 102 ■Sia e Cumberland University Athletic Association (r 6ss« (i fe5 =.jis ° Pi-esident L. L. RICE Secrefai-y Treasurer R. G. WHITE J- S. WATERHOUSE Football Officei-s, Elect G. S. Moore E. L. Minton Manager Captain J. S. COUNSELMAN Coach -The 1904 Team- N apology is due our readers for the brief schedule played this year in football. In otxr opinion it was mainly due to having too good a team last year. Some teams refused on the score that they were not in our class and did not care to be butchered. But we had enemies in the S. I. A. A. whom we had defeated the year before and who were unable to take this defeat in a sportsmanhke way and consequently they used their influence to have our great team boycotted, and nearly succeeded. Charges of pro- fessionalism were preferred against two of our players, but to this day have not been substantiated. In the face of all these difficulties our team was always cheerful, hopeful, and diligent at practice and worked as faithfully as any team ever did to uphold old Cumber- land ' s honor. 104 Officers Manager J.

Baseball Team, 1905 Our baseball team began the season with only three old men back and a scarcity of material from which to choose, yet an average team has been de- veloped by our energetic coach. In the four games played to date we have won two and lost two, but it is to be remembered that these games were against crack teams and one-half is a good showing in the won cohmm. Cor- nell had the fastest team ever seen in these parts and worked her best pitcher against Cumberland. Coach Wilkie C. Clark was again with us and did his usual effective work.

No scheduled games were played, but the public knows why. The L. C. Y. L. was challenged four times— three times their business manager had the toothache and could not come to the ' phone; the fourth time word came that they were afraid we would pull hair. We corresponded with all the lady teams in Nashville. Each one promptly replied, stating that they fully appreciated the rare privilege of playing with us, but since the honor of their respective universities was at stake, begged to be excused, anticipating an inglorious defeat at our hands. They evidentl} ' had read some of the glowing comments in the big dailies on our players at practice games. We publish a few: Miss Vaughan is undoubtedly the fastest girl on the team. She has been offered several positions as coach in large Eastern girl schools, but because of her loyalty to old Cumberland, she has refused them all. — New York Sun. Miss Euless would be a valuable addition to any team in the country. Her ability to throw goals in any position is phenomenal. She is the best foul-pitcher in the South. Her record is iS out of 20. — Cincinnati Post. Put Miss Boggess in a cage with some tigers, and she would kill them by first scratching out their eyes. That is the way she plays basketball, too. She lends to that a death-daring spirit which is an essential of a success- ful team. — Anonymous. The Nashville Banner says of Miss Logan: There are few good guards that do not foul a great deal. Miss Logan is a brilliant exception. She is the best defensive player on the team. Miss Howe and Miss Dickson strengthen the team because they work together well at center. Miss Dickson ' s record high reach is 9 ft., 2 in. — Philadelphia Times. Miss Varney is right where she is needed, throughout the whole game, despite the fact that she occasionally stops to fix up. — Gulfport NeTvs. Miss Martin is the life of the game. The quickness with which she passes the ball is marvelous. — The Hudson Periodical. Miss Halsey ' s ability to be where her opponent does not want her is her strong point. — The Chicago World. The Democrat says of Miss Miller: Her strength is as the strength of ten. She i s ready for jjlay when the rest are fagged out. Our yells are various and sundry, but we never deviate into shrieks or screams; we always pitch our voices at a moderate tone and modestly yell out: What ' s the matter? What a chatter! Nothing at all, nothing at all. Cumberland Co-eds ! Basketliall ! Who are we? Can ' t you see? AVe make up the ' Varsity. 115 j_ p UJ W X 2 2 S 2 t- — m i; xd£ 222 ' i M a Y. M. C. A.

These programs are intended to create and enlist the interest of each student in the department in the missionary feature of church work. Different fields, with their characteristic peoples and customs, missionaries and their life and work, methods of work among chtirch people in the interest of missions, the relation of pastors to modem missions — these are some of the subjects considered in the monthly meet- ings. The meetings of this year have been interesting and helpful. We have five volunteers among the students of the Seminary, and we are con- tinually praying that more laborers may be sent into the harvest. The subscription to the support of our College Missionary, W. F. Hereford, aver- aged more than two dollars per student, and it is safe to say that the men who leave the Seminary will be missionary pastors. 120 Officers President LUCY PAUL Vice President EMMA HRLvSEY Secr-efary AiVNiE LEE McLEAN Treasurer FLORENCE VARNEY Members DELSIE BOGGESS FANNIE ROBISON IRENE LOGAN EMMA HALSEY DOTT BOGGESS EULA ROBISON MRS.

A. was organized December ii, 1904. The object of this Association is the development of Christian character and the prosecution of active Christian work, especially among the young women of Cumberland University. A devotional service is held Thursday afternoon, Bible class on Sunday afternoon, and a twelve o ' clock prayer service on Tuesday of each week. Young women who have availed themselves of the opportun- ity this organization affords have been richly repaid. Remember the words of Christ: Ye did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should aV)ide. The work of the Association goes quietly on, but it is surely worth our while for many are learning to know the Master better. Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle — face it; ' tis God ' s gift. 121 Woman ' s Bible Circle Motto Search the Scriptures.

TUCKER History The Bible Circle is composed i rincipally of the wives of the professors and the wives of the students fwho are so fortunate as to possess one) of the Theological Department of Cumberland University. The Circle was or- ganized about eighteen years ago by Mrs. C. H. Bell, assisted by Mrs. Geo. G. Hudson, late of Japan, and Mrs. R. P. PhilHps, of Texas. Mrs. Bell, the mother of the organization, has had faithful co-workers all these years in Mrs. R. V. Foster, its efficient foster mother, and other ladies of the faculty. The meetings are held weekly, the hour being spent in the study and discussion of some allotted portion of Scripture. The members experience much pleasure, and derive abundant profit from this careful study of God ' s Word. 123 Motto The evangelization of the World in this generation. Members r,. R.

B.D., ' 05 The Student Volunteer Movement is worldwide. It was organized in 1886. Through this Movement college men and women are enlisted to go as missionaries to the foreign field. Student volunteers have a common purpose, viz.: The evangelization of the world in this generation. Realiz- ing the importance of the command, Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the .nations, they have set their faces definitely toward the task of carrying the gospel to benighted lands. Volunteers have this single purpose: To make Christ known to those who know him not. Through the in- fluence of the Student Volunteer Movement more than two thousand volim- teers have gone to the foreign field, and the church at home has been greatly aroused. Any student who has signed this declaration, It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary, is eligible to membership. He expects to spend his life as a foreign missionary. Toward this end he will shape his plans. He will prepare himself to be a thorough, efficient, and aggressive worker. He will do all in his power to remove the obstacles which may stand in the way of his going. The present C. U. Volunteer Band was organ ized in April, 1903, with four members. Two of its members, Messrs. Boydstun and Jenkins, sailed for China, October 7, 1903. There were ten members in i903- ' o4. Miss Mabel Martin, A.B., of C. U., ' 03, is attending a Bible school in New York City, preparatory to sailing as missionary to China on May i, 1905. Four mission study classes have been organized this year in the University, and one in the E. C. Y. L. Objects of the Band Fellowship in prayer. Fellowship in aggressive mission work.- Fellowship in preparation for life work. Plans Holding weekly meetings. Reading and circulating missionary literature. Using a prayer list for recruits. In many ways intensifying missionary life in the University. Maxims Expect great things from God, Attempt great things for God. Lo, I am with you alway. — Matt. 28: 20. Prayer and pains, through faith in Jesus Christ, will do anything. — Eliot. 124 Officers Presidents MISS MARY McKENZIE MISS IRENE NEAL MISS KATE HINDS Vice Presidents MISS SUSIE COMER MISS EDNA BEARD MISS RUBY KECK Secretaries and Treasurers MISS SARAH FAKES MISS MARY McKENZIE Members Nelle Fer- RELL Mrs. R.

It was organized about fifteen years ago with the idea of a few neighborhood girls to meet and sew while one read aloud. In a httle while refreshments were introduced and that feature alone has stayed with it. There is no seriousness in Sans Souci, for all of its members are firm believers in being happy, and they carry out the belief in practice. Did anyone ever see a member cross? No, no! for visitors are not al- lowed at those mysterious meetings when the annual reception and its neces- sary arrangements are discussed. Gossip has it that — but it ' s not the busi- ness of this correspondent to repeat gossip, — facts alone are wanted. A fact is that the members of Sans Souci are the kind of girls a man Ukes to have as a comrade — a friend — and it is among their number that most of the college sweethearts are found. Their motive, — to have fun, — and eat. Times of meeting — every Satur- day afternoon whenever there isn ' t an athletic game and the weather isn ' t too bad. Place of meeting — at the home of a poor unfortunate to whom the President has gotten down on her knees in the dust begging her to take it. An election of officers is held every three months, which divides the honors ( ?) among several members during the year. 126 Colors Stars and Bars. Flower Cotton Blossom. Motfo Hate Yankees.

If all this be true of one of the fair ones — and ' tis true as preaching — what might be said of the dozen or more of the lovely creatures that compose the Young Ladies ' Orchestra, whose shadows are exhibited above? Pretty? That doesn ' t tell half of what is true of each one Bright? Yes, sparkling. No wine can sparkle like they sparkle. And how they can talk! Not all the members of the faculty, not all the students of the University can talk like they can talk. Added to these attractions is their splendid musical cultiu ' e, which, with their commendable willingness to render it whenever old Cumberland calls for it, makes them an important, nay, an indispensable organization. How could we do without them? On commencement day and on other occasions they have for many past years delighted the great audiences and the outgoing classes with their music. No doubt those harmonious strains sound in the ears of the retiring A.B. ' s, B.D. ' s and CL.B. ' s for weeks and months after they have gone to their distant homes, and every now and then one comes back to hear more music, and tries to take and does take a musician away. Dear young ladies, history repeats itself. Therefore, Be ye also ready. 130 Yankee Club Colors Red, white and blue. Son§ Yankee-doodle-do. Yell Cock-a-doodle-doo, Motto Any dude ' U do.

It is the land where the sun shines the brightest, the breeze blows the freshest, the water is the purest and the soil the most fertile, in the summer clothed with fields of wheat, com, barley, cotton blossoms and fruits of all kinds. It is bounded on the east by the beautiful Tennessee, and sloping its western limits to the alluvial banks of the Mississippi — where vegetation, almost semi-tropical in its nature, springs from a generous and exhaustless soil. 138 Texas Club Flower Rose.

Her vast fields of waving grain in the north and immense herds of cattle in the west, together with her fertile cottonfields of the east and immense spouting oil-wells of the south, are but samples of her wealth. The present greatness of Texas is but an earnest of her future greatness. Keep your eye on Texas. Texas is not only a grain producer but she has long since become a brain producer as well. And how could she be otherwise with her splendid system of public education and her numerous universities and colleges? She is a producer of constructive men — men who do things and do them quick, and when you consider the vastness of our State, you can but realize that these results are but the inevitable. 140 Flower Corn Blossom.

Keeper of THE Hounds History A most noteworthy feature of the Kentucky club is that every member holds an office of honor and trust — some of them are laborious like that of mixer, a gentleman who, in the Bluegrass State, never has a moment ' s rest. Some are entirely honorary, like the most exalted office of female charmer, a duty that every other member of the club desires to take unto himself. Of course every member (except one) is a colonel ex-officio, and if the truth were told, many members could be appropriately branded with one or two of the high-sounding and euphonious titles included in the list of officers of this most representative aggregation from the State of beautiful women, etc. Kentucky, each year, contributes her quota of students to all departments of Cumberland University, and, with due modesty and extreme hesitation, the writer of this brief history of the ' 05 club, asserts that never before has the membership of the club embraced such a brilliant array of talented and distinguished individuals — to judge from their official titles. 142 Ib c Yv. 8th The first social event of the year was a Box Ball Party, given at the Alleys by the boys, in honor of their young lady friends.

The cards were tied with bows of lavender ribbon, the accepted color of the dentist organiza- tion. A fruit lunch was very enjoyable. 150 4th Mr. and Mrs. Alex McClain gave a dance in honor of Miss Brown in the club rooms of the Theta Pi Club. About twenty couples were present and a delightful lunch was served. 24th The D. A. R. History Club entertained the Twentieth Century Club at the home of Mrs. Samuel GoUiday. A short program was rendered, and refreshments were served. The souvenirs were prettily printed programs which had the insignia of the organization on it. 29th The Theta Pi Club gave a dance in compliment to Miss Campbell, of St. Louis. About thirty couples enjoyed the occasion. Cholly ' s band furnished the music, and refreshments were served. 31st Miss McKenzie gave an elaborate reception in honor of her guest, Miss Lucile Campbell, of St. Louis. Receiving with Miss McKenzie and the honoree were Mrs. McKenzie, Mrs. Edward T. Campbell, Mrs. Samuel Golliday and Miss Mary Smith. The house was beautifully decorated in potted plants, palms and cut flowers. In the dining room the colors used were pink and white, which were also carried out in the refreshments. 151 HIS MASTERS VOICE ?il?«?ii staff ' 04 Editor=in=chief WM. J.

Heurethelian Here ' s to the Cumberland Weekly, the recording-secretary of all our sorrows and all our joys! It is a plain, unpretentious paper, no great effort at grandeur of style or make-up ; yet at the close of each week it is an impa- tiently awaited visitor at every student ' s den, and, as well, in the offices, studies and libraries of the friends of Cumberland in the outside world. Being the only student newspaper in the University the Weekly is looked to as the spokesman of the institution. For the past six years it has been issued regularly by a staff made up of representatives from each of the schools of instruction, the literary societies, Y. M. C. A., the Athletic Association, and various other departments of University life. The present year ' s board of editors has been headed by Wm. J. Bacon, a gentleman of eminent ability in the art of journalism. The splendid work- manship of the paper during the year is largely attributable to his faithful efforts.

First Prize Prose Article The Icicle By Ophelia Bledsoe Of all things, the most absurd, it occurs to me, is dignity in a co-ed. Imagine me, my dear Kat, as saying to Dick, when he whistles for me to go to the football field — ' I shall be delighted to accompany you, Mr. Lambert. ' O, Dorothy, you are too ridiculous! It would require a flight of my imagination indeed to see you in any such role, and of course we would not have you otherwise than as our dear, fun-loving Dorry; for how could the sorority exist if you did not consider it your Christian duty to make us all happy? I answered. Why, Katherine, I hope you remember what Prof. Buch. said about flattery in chapel the other morning — so beware. But really, this new girl is a stunner. I can ' t begin to fathom her. Her disposition reminds me of the Bottomless Pit for its obscurity. Just imagine a girl studying in the library, when she could be out in the hall or on the steps having a jolly time. Is she really so bad? I ventured. Worse still; not satisfied with mastering the Grecian language and mem- orizing Paradise Lost, she must spend her spare moments conversing with the professors. She doesn ' t consider our conversation edifying enough, I suppose. Well, she is rather puzzling, I ' ll admit; but as Dick says, she would make dandy frat material, and I mean to cultivate her. Besides, the boys are get- ting daft about her looks. How was it Clyde described her eyes? — wet violets, I am sure, or something equally poetic and silly. Oh, you can depend on Clyde to lose his head over every new arrival, but since you have his heart in such close keeping you need not entertain any fears. Nonsense, I retorted; why will you persist in guying me about Clyde Pearson? I haven ' t any strings to his heart, I assure you. No, I guess you wouldn ' t call them exactly strings. Chains would be more applicable, I think. But enough of this, as I see Madge on her way to the laboratory. I ' ll see you later and keep you posted as to developments, and with that she went skipping down the steps. For the next two weeks nothing could be talked of but the icicle, as the boys called her, but it was her exceptional beauty which made her dignity and reserve the subject of such deep concern. But it was not until she, with 158 two of the girls, spent the night with us, that I really understood her, for I had never exactly considered dignity a part of co-education. But it came in this way. Seated in a circle on the floor and finishing up the remnants of a midnight feast, we finally, by dint of much coa.xing, induced her to talk of herself, with this result: Girls, she began, my first love affair was unfortunate, and this prob- ably accounts for my indifference, as you term it. It was in the sixth grade and I was twelve. He was my ideal of manliness and possessed all the qualities which made a boy of that age attractive. I enjoyed his candy and peanuts to the utmost, but I think it must have been his poetry that my love could not survive, for he sent me a beautiful valentine with poetry of the most cloying sweetness from cover to cover, and written on the wrapper beside. This struck me as being rather overdone, so I consigned it with his heart to the flames and never have I spoken to him since — but once — but that is another story. Well, as I have suggested, at the experienced age of twelve, I put away all thoughts of masculine admiration and began to read. My ideal then be- came visionary. He was first the handsome preacher who could sway audi- ences by his eloc|uence and move them to tears by the pathos of his voice. Then he suddenly changed to a soldier willing to brave the uncertainties and dangers of relentless warfare for the compensation of a smile. Finally, I found my ideal incarcerated in a matinee idol, and I was ready to worship the first one who could paint his cheeks and make love as divinely as this hero of my dreams. But, eventually, came the time for me to go away to boarding school and put away childish things, so my dresses were lengthened and I left my lovers where I had found them — between the covers of my books — and de- cided on a career. I had often cherished this plan as a refuge if my ideal should prove unfaithful, fall in battle, or escape me altogether; but until now I had never thought of it as an end in itself, and it was not without com- punction that I gave up my heroes; but somehow, I could always console myself when I thought of that valentine. The boarding school proved a very hotbed for my ambition. Here, sheltered from outside cares, I viewed the world from an enchanted distance and meditated upon my career. With no love affairs to distract my mind (for a boy entered those gates on pain of death), and with sympathizing friends, I decided to steer clear of masculinity and follow faithfully the guid- ing star of my ambition. I resolved to make a name in the literary world. Having discovered long since that modern fiction was frothy — without thought — I would write the great psychological novel and — become immortal. With something of this nature in view, amid such conducive surroimd- ings, I spent two years in dreams and hard work, and on the day that I read my valedictory I imagined I could see the world at my feet. But I could not be satisfied with this, and the next step was, of course, a university. Having associated only with girls most of my life, you can imagine that I crossed the threshold of co-education with much fear and trembling, and I must admit that I haven ' t exactly come to consider it an everyday affair even yet; but I think with such excellent coaching as Dor- othy ' s that I may learn the rudiments by June. Indeed, she is getting on swimmingly, Dorothy interposed. I can actually give the frat yell without making her nervous, and Dick said yes- terday that if he could persuade her to play tennis with him for six years and eleven months that she might drop the ' Mr. ' and call him ' Dick. ' But tell us, I asked, do you believe that you can evolve a career out of co-education? 159 I should certainly hope so, she replied, with some spirit. I should consider myself weak indeed to give up my plans now just because a few boys have darkened my horizon. But since I have wearied you so long with my troubles ppose we catch a little sleep, for you doubtless remember the fierce IookI we have been gettmg recently for being late. Oh, what does that amount to? Dorothy exclaimed. My first lesson is to Prof. K and he doesn ' t seem to care whether I get there or not. In fact, I think he rather congratulates himself on being spared that much of my society. Anyway, I added, I guess we will want some breakfast in the morn- ing, so I move) that we adjourn. Never, exclaimed Dorothy, until I have expressed my appreciation of the -iionor of knowing such a person of promise and the rare privilege of being in her confidence. I drink, said I, to a brilliant career, and raising an unfinished cup of chocolate to my lips, suited the action to the word. But remember, reminded Dorothy, the story of Daedalus and don ' t go near enough to melt your wings. At this moment a voice from the next room called out from the drowsy depths of sleep deferred, Girls, are you never going to bed? And in some- thing less than an hour Morpheus reigned supreme. As you might imagine this was a new view of life to us and we looked on with interest. She was a really fine girl, and I hated to see her the victim of such crankiness. Besides she could have so much fun, as the boys were ready to rush her to a finish, if she would ever let them invade the charmed circle of her friendship. So I decided I would do my best to convert her. With this in view I broached the subject while we were strolling on the campus one day, a few weeks after our midnight revelry. Miss Washington (I hadn ' t yet dared call her Loraine), don ' t you think it possible to possess just as good friends among the boys as you do among the girls that you know? Well, she answered slowly, I should think so, but I can ' t say that I have found it just that way. ' ' Indeed, you will admit that you have a wide experience to choose f rom— one pinafore affair and several visions. But really it worries me to see you so narrow. Don ' t you think it a little bit egotistical to exclude yourself merely to keep boys from falling in love with you? My shot went home, I could see, and we walked quite a distance before she spoke again. ' ' I am quite sure it never occurred to me in the light you speak of. Do you think I am looked upon as such an unpleasant personage? Well, if you are not, you possibly will be, and I am going to be the one to prevent it by bringing two of the boys around this very evening. But — , she began. Never mind about that, I interrupted; they are both dandy fellows and you just must be more sociable. How very determined you are to bring me out, and it is kindly meant, but beware, for if I lose my heart the ghost of my cherished career will haunt you for life. ■ ' ' I am willing to take the risk, as I never was afraid of ghosts ; so expect us at eight, and with that I left her at the steps. I congratulated myself that my determination was the one thing needful, and that the jolly time we had making fudge and popping corn caused my lady dignity to forget her career — for a short while at least. But I was hardly prepared for the results that followed. The next day Dorothy came tearing up to my room as if all the furies of Hades were pursuing her. What on earth now — I began. 160 Of all things, Katsy, what do you think I have just seen? breathlessly. A ghost, evidently, I replied, or perhaps Mephisto himself, fudging from your looks. Please relieve me. No, not so bad as that, but much more remarkable. Loraine Washing- ton and Clyde Pearson strolling leisurely and most lover-like across the cam- pus. I declare I couldn ' t believe my eyes, and I had to pinch myself several times to be sure that I was not dreaming. What has happened? Will you explain? she said all in one breath. Oh, it is nothing except that I took Clyde and Dick over to call last night, and we had a real good time. But are you sure it was Clyde? Well, Katherine, have you gone so far crazy as to think I don ' t know Clyde Pearson when I see him? But you needn ' t worry. You remember the chains I spoke of, I guess. I am truly glad to see the change, since you especially have so desired it. I pretended to ignore the thrust, and feigning a headache, dismissed her. I should probably have dismissed the information also as unworthy of con- sideration had it not been verified by my own eyes not many minutes later. What if— I said to myself, but no; it could not be. Clyde is as true as steel. Anyway, the turn Miss Washington ' s reform had taken did not exactly please me, and I was forced to see my inconsistency. However, I resolved to urge her cultivation of the boys no more; but I assure you that my further help would have been entirely superfluous, for she seemed to have changed remarkably and not a little dangerously (for some of us), for she now accepted all invitations that she had hitherto refused and was never seen without an escort. The boys had always been willing and only needed a little encouragement, so she became the rage. Clyde and Dick were her first victims and the others followed in systematic succession. She was driven to death; overcome by the heavy perfume of the stacks of flowers sent her daily, and had her digestion ruined by Huyler ' s candies. She wore three frat pins (her ingenuity was something startling) and possessed all kinds of frat mementoes, from rings to hat-pins. Stranger still she became a football enthusiast and went crazy over athletics in general. She never missed a game and was one of the team ' s lustiest supporters. Never being seen with the same boy twice in succession, of course our interest was always on the qui vive to know which one would finally triumph. How she was able to keep this up for the rest of the year we could never see, but Commencement found her with the same number of devotees, and all of them apparently the same. I envied her the remarkable way she had of making friends, and the still more remarkable one of keeping them. It was the afternoon of Commencement Day. Dorry and I were again discussing the old, worn-out topic. Not enthusiastically this time, for I could hardly interest myself in anything thinking of the dear old days that were soon to be no more. Dorry, a dejected little heap on the floor, could only look her sympathy through her tears. We were rudely brought to earth by Madge, who came blustering in like a March wind. (Madge was only a junior and could not appreciate our feelings.) Girls, what news! Loraine, the elusive, the vnuch-pursued and the un- approachable, is engaged, she yelled out. Of course I fell off my chair and Dorry dried her tears. Tell us quick, I managed to say. Yes, she continued, it happened to-day, for her room-mate is positive she never had it on this morning. Oh, and it is a beauty! Larger than yours, Katsy, and Dorry ' s, also. Never mind, but I ' ll have one some day. When I get to be a Senior, perhaps. But the fellow? asked Dorry (I could almost hear her say victim under her breath). II 161 That ' s just it. I have gone over the Ust until my head swims, and I cannot, to save my life, decide which one has the best show. But here comes the culprit herself, as Loraine, radiant with smiles, came slowly in. We all sprang to congratulate her and she evidently thought us crazy, for she smiled in such a peculiar way when we asked his name. Girls, I will give you three guesses, she said. Better give us a dozen — then we ' d be apt to leave him out, put in the inimitable Dorry. But your career? I suggested. My dear girls, through co-education I have learned of some things that a career could not even approach, and the light in her eyes and the flush on her cheek, would have convinced the most skeptical of a thorough con- version. But we are dying to know the cause of such a revolution of ideas, Dorry impa tiently reminded her. Well, as I said, you may have three guesses, or make it as many as you like, only don ' t give up until you are sure you have exhausted the whole supply. Dorry began with the boys of our particular set — Clyde, Dick, Henry, Reginald, Ernest — but each time she shook her head, slowly but decidedly. I then took it up and finished the boys in her favorite frat with no better success; and then Madge wound up with every boy that Loraine had ever spoken to, I think. By this time we were completely bewildered (and not a little bit relieved, some of us) when she said: Do you remember, girls, my telUng you of a valentine which I once received? The one so sentimentally and unfortunately poetic? Dorry suggested. And do you recall, Katherine, my telling you of seeing an old school friend when I went home Christmas? Yes, yes, I said, but what has the valentine to do with that, and pray what has that to do with the solitaire? Katsy, dear, you really have studied your Math, to a deUghtful advan- tage. Can ' t you add? Second Prize Poem The Three Philosophers By Wm. M. Shuman One summer ' s day, when time was all my own, And Natm-e seemed to speak in soothing tone, I wandered to a calm, sequestered dell To ease a longing only she could queU. ' Tis Bryant who has sung in sweeter tune. That Nature speaks to him who will commune. The place to me was holy; for I thought No other soul its sacredness had caught. ' Twas with a feeUng of repulsion, then. That I should spy three old, decrepit men Secluded in this long-deserted glen. With long, white beards and locks, and look sublime. They much resembled our old Father Time. And lounging there beneath a great elm tree, 162 , . They seemed absorbed in some deep colloquy. So all-absorbed were they in what was said, That none took notice of my sudden tread. Concealed from them, I listened eagerly As they unravelled life ' s strange mystery. Said one: I hold that one great, potent power Controls our lives and makes us what we are. No friend, nor money, pluck nor circumstance, Can counteract that force — Inheritance. Another boldly argued that one ' s birth Does not bespeak his failure or his worth. With whom, and where we must associate, That is. Environment controls our fate. Then rose the third of these three wise old men, His agitation made him young again. My friends, he said, ' tis very strange to me That you should hold to such philosophy. If I should sum up all that you have said. To this conclusion I would soon be led: That there ' s a something makes or mars a soul. But over which we do not have control. For Where ' s the man whom we can justly blame For having humble birth or lowly name, Or in his youth, dogmatically can say What shall or shall not mould his future day? Nay! God, when He made man, made liberty. He said: ' Free, moral agent man shall be. ' And by this all-wise attribute, God-given, It lies with us to choose a Hell or Heaven. We rise above the things that come by chance. Ignore environment, inheritance. By doing and by daring we succeed — Endeavor is the urgent, world-wide need. The old man took his seat beneath the tree. I felt that he had hurled the truth at me. Unnoticed still, I tur ned and left the place. Resolved that hardships I would boldly face, And by my perseverance win hfe ' s race. Second Prize Prose Article A Freshman By Roma G. White The proverbial awkward, ungainly, gawky, stuttering, faltering, faint- hearted specimen of humanity, once designated as a freshman has seen his day. His star has set and he is superseded by an indescribable, egotistical, vain, conceited freak of nature known as the twentieth century freshman. He is our subject. Just what were the constituent elements and special characteristics of the primeval and now obsolete recruit within college walls we hesitate to conjecture, but any one can fathom the modern, up-to-date freshman. He is an open book, known of all men and quickly known of his professors. He 163 could hardly be recommended as a readable book, however, and we would not advise upper-classmen to read him too profusely. His first observation upon arrival is a Senior. How stupendously igno- rant he looks! What an amazing, astounding relic of barbarism! A Junior is next encountered and he imagines that truly he has been misin- formed and has been sent to a lunatic asylum or perhaps to the home for feeble-minded. But imagine his consternation when he meets up with a disgusting sophomore. Abomination and abhorrence are pictured on his countenance. He is not long in impressing you that he is a ladies ' man first and fore- most, last and hindmost. What is more, he is one whom the ladies must recognize on account of his stunning, reassuring ways as well as his powerful intellect, talent and genius. Behold him while yet new and fresh out on dress parade — all resplendent in his array of fine new clothes — as he vainly tries to impress his majestic charms upon the grass, flowers and shrubbery on the campus. But alas, these are not so easily impressed as some girls ar ! Watch him again as he saunters forth on a rhetorical dress parade, and see him zealously and fearlessly endeavor to round into action a verbal display of fireworks which would make the ancient orators turn over in their graves, the modern ones arise and scatter to the woods; which would make Noah Webster and Mr. Worcester look Uke thirty cents to Mrs. Chadwick, should they attempt to fathom his meaning, and which would make even old Solo- mon, in all his wisdom, gasp for breath and call all of his seven hundred wives to fan him. This illustrious encyclopedia o;- learning never mentions such a common- place thing as love, but unburdens his soul to the upper-class gir ' s about that Inner incomprehensibility and outward all-overishness which possesses the innermost chambers of his affections. Some irritating, exasperating, overwhelming and infuriating emotion has grappled with his interior sensi- bilities and has superinduced a sententious susceptibility to exterior ap- preciation. The maidens are dumbfounded and regard him with consum- mate awe till he turns to address them with the information that he must go home with some such voluminous message as this: The hour approaches wherein I must perambulate my corporeal system over the intervening space between this present location and my parental domicile. Cripple Billy, the janitor boy, insulted his freshness by poUtely asking him to refrain from smoking in the library when the co-eds were pursuing their lucubrations, and he knocked the poor cripple down. In narrating the circumstance to a group of senior girls the next day, he triumphantly exclaimed: You should liave seen me ' horizontalize his perpendicularity ' with one mighty blow of my puissant right. These instances are only a smattering of his verbal fluency and he can elucidate just as copiously and profusely upon any subj . ct. He sincerely pities his professors in their incompetency, insufficiency and incapacity to impart information and enhghtenment to his already wisdom- oppressed mind. It will always remain a sable enigma to him how such professors ever secured degrees from a prep, school. He doesn ' t intimate that he is the brightest fellow in the whole university but he tries to look it and any fool ought to see it. His eye-glasses are a necessity — he would look right through a transparent, translucent sopho- more without something to shade his piercing eyes. We must not take leave of his virtues without hinting at his most con- spicuous and flagrant characteristic — freshjiess. It is in this line that he shines most brilliantly. What company, assemblage or private conversation, or even Faculty meeting, is too sacred for his nose to be intruded? He butts into anything at any time and is astonished that anyone should object to 164 his presence and wholesome advice. He is an omniscient, omnipotent, om- nipresent infalHbility and is ever accessible to all where advice is needed. Verily he is a curiosity on wheels; a walking exhibition of gall and nerve; an interrogation point. What is to be done with him? We must admit that he is an indispensable necessity — the missing link, if you please; you absolutely cannot have a Sophomore without him. Then, he is not to be relegated to the rear, but must stand in front. Shall we try to tame him or cage him? No; he isn ' t savage, and is perfectly harmless save to himself. Shall we confine him to his own sphere by rope or chain? No; he requires the whole earth with a gold fence around it, and we can ' t fence the sea; so, as we are unable to poss the impossible, we shall be compelled to endure with patience and longsuffering what we are unable to cure — The Freshman. Alma Mater Ah! vainly might so feeble pen As mine attempt in straggling rhyme The praise of grand Old Cumberland To write, for oft she ' s sung, and then She ' s known in every land and clime, Which shout her praise in chorus grand. Need I recount her senators Her lawyers, doctors, teachers, all. Her ministers of prominence, Her bankers and her editors. Her soldiers, true to Honor ' s call, And her great college presidents? Ah, no! though years may intervene And ocean ' s trackless depths divide. Each daughter and each stalwart son Will e ' er keep fresh the bonds between Him and his greatest, truest pride, — Old Cumberland — there is but one. Where sterling worth, or finest steel, In Life ' s broad field is needed most, ' Tis there the firm and steady hand Of her alumni we will feel, For ne ' er did Earth a truer host Behold than her alumnal band. The days within her classic walls. The pleasant hours in classroom spent. The hard-won games on football field. And study deep, when midnight paUs The world with gloom, a strength have lent That must o ' er ills a victory yield. And now, all praise to her fair name, Her instincts high, her true ideals. Her ever wise and tender care, — Oh, Alma Mater, that thy fame May spread as long as Phoebus wheels His daily course, is our deep prayer. -A. C. Stewart. 166 The storm cornea down jesty. Brown, castled crags, athirst, re- joice; Glad canyon unto canyon cries, Hello! the storm! the storm! The birds That frolicked in the summer air Just now, and chased a butterfly Or bee, or drank the nectar from a flower. In terror flee to shelter ' neath The dense green roofs of shelving spruce, The beasts through every hill and glenn, The stag knee-deep in meadow grass, The coney in his rock-ribbed den. The squirrel swinging from his tree, — Now one and all their warnings raise, — They sniff the air and stamp the ground, Because he comes, in majesty. In majesty, the storm! Dumb things. Inanimate, seem thrilled with life And tremble at his breath. And now. The rain! the rain! The rich, deep grass Of summer glade is lying fiat. And flowers bow their beauteous heads. Huge thunders shout and bellow low. And hurl the rain in floods, that tear The painted clay from gullies deep And plunge and roar exultant down The steeps, like new bo m rivers wild, That seek the sea. Above, below. The little lightnings dance and play And crackle down the pine-tree ' s trunk. Like broken bars of molten steel. Mad thunders toss the lightnings to And fro, to pierce the mists, to rend The rock, and stab the mountain ' s heart. Gray-bearded trees a hundred years Have stood of storm; but now they writhe And twist and lash their neighbors ' sides And snap asunder like two withes Of straw. Aha! the storm! the storm! The mighty Mountain-Prince — he rides In freedom and in strength superb, His charger wrapped in foam. Well, weU! The world is brighter since he passed. Fresh incense from the sopping earth. The perfume breathed from well-washed flowers, FUls all the sun-illumined air. Warm sun impassioned kisses prints On glistening crags. A world made new, Of valleys deep and shimmering peaks, Is left out-stretched, in all its vast Immensity. The storm is passed. In majesty, in majesty, The storm! Bernard L. Rice. 166 The Purple Cow ' I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one; But I can tell you anyhow, I ' d rather see than be one. I never saw a curly-cue — And did you ever see one? A feller saw a kitten mew, And thought he ' d like to be one. I never saw a ' fessah scowl, I always hoped to see one; I like to use a linen towel, But hope I ' ll never be one. Clackety-aick Clackety-click! te-clack! te-chck! Over the rails so shiny and slick — Away from the world of tinsel and show, Back to the world of freedom we go. Clackety-click! clackety-click! Clackety-click! te-clack! te-click! Hear the rails sing as we speed double-quick! Our craniums crowded with visions of home — How the faces will shine when at last we have come! Clackety-click ! clackety-click ! Clickety-clack! te-cUck! te-clack! Over a faultless and arrow-like track; We ' re skimming along like a jolly good song That the college boys sing to the suffering throng. Clickety-clack! clickety-clack! Clickety-clack! te-click! te-clack! Pistons are throbbing to hurry us back. While heart-strings keep time with the swing of the tune In fancy we ramble the meadows of June. CUckety-clack ! clickety-clack ! Chackety-chuck! te-chack! te-chuck! Up-hill and down with a buckety-buck. Athletics are over and revels are done, But the real sort of living is only begun. Chackety-chuck! chackety-chuck! Chackety-chuck! te-chack! te-chuck! We ' ve passed the old switch, and with marvelous luck; Then the wrangling and jangling and ringing of bells Announce the finale to the song of the rails. Chacket y-chuck ! chackety-chuck ! Up and Down When joys attend. It seems as if ' Twill ever be One round of joy; When hearts befriend And love is full, We deem such bliss Naught can destroy. II When troubles stare And black the skies. It seems the day Will never break; When blank despair Stabs deep the heart. Our parched thirst No draught can slake. Ill O, blind of heart. And doubly blind ! Exult and mourn A self-thralled slave. And fool, whose at. Can paint no world Save that which lies This side the grave. — Bernard L. Rice. 167 To Robin Redbreast Oh, thy raptvire, sweet Robin, blithe spirit of air! .,-•. ' Tis fairyland ' s music, an elf ' s melody. Why sit you enticing in ecstasy there? ,.1 I ' ll open my window and hearken to t|iee. Thy little red breast is so crowded with mirth That it must overflow at thy tremulous throat; Thy caroling, Robin, will ' witch all the earth By the magical power of one silvery note. Oh, tell me, sweet Robin, the secret so pure That ' s hid in thy bosom and makes thee to sing. Tis a message of marvelous rapture, I ' m sure, — I ' ve foimd out thy secret — thou ' rt heralding Spring. No more of gruff winter, thy cheery notes tell, Bare woods and brown fields must vanish away; Blithe Springtime does enter; dull Winter, farewell; jThe bluebells are ' wakening this very day. Enraptured I listen, enchantress, to thee; Wan visions of summer days rise in my breast; The sound of thy lullaby come ' tft to me From the aspen bough, singing thy nestlings to rest. From afar floats the meadow-lark ' s crystaUne note. And the tiulle-dove ' s cooing and wooing combine; There ' s a warble from many a musical throat; But none of them, Robin, is sweeter than thine. — Bernard L. Rice. I Found a Glen I found a glen on the mountain side Where a creek tumbled down, Tucked away in the forest so mighty and wide. With its green and its brown. Rich purple a wUd flower grew on the brink Of that shy hermit stream, And the willows bent low where the stag came to drink, , ' Neath the silvery beam Of the. moon, for there in the cool, gray sand Were the prints of his hoofs, - - Leading back up the trail where the great spruces stand With their evergreen roof, • ' . S And the sim was so tender, caressing the stream, ) ' While the mottled trout played ' Neath the cool cataracts, and sent the bright gleam Of their sides from the shade. That I sat me down there and wooed for my own That sweet forest glen, And to-day, though afar and troubled and lone. My heart ' s there again. — Bernard L. Rice. 168 n Rest Take a walk in the woods, when your spirit is sad And your heart is all aching and sore: There your pain will depart with the song of a bird, And the music the mocker makes, mingled and blurred, Will warm your heart deep to the core. Then take a seat here on this broad, shelving rock, And lean on that moss-covered bole; And, while the light flickers and plays with your locks, Flower whispers will perfume the hushed wind that rocks To slumber your tired-out soul. — Bernard L. Rice. A Dream I. Out of the mists of the by-gone days Comes a vision of loveliness; It comes and looks at me and plays With my heart in its loneliness. II. college love, O tardy dream! Leave me not alone to mourn you. It cannot be that I still seem To your dear heart untrue. III. 1 loved you in the long-gone day, Though life was yoimg and love was new, And hearts were meant for Cupid ' s play, I am to that old love yet true. IV. ' Tis not all a dream — ah no; For now you are so near to me That I can touch you, and I know That touch, dear, as it used td ' be. V. Do not wake me — let me sleep If sleeping be such happiness, V For when awake I cannot keep This vision pure of loveliness. -Ready Strong. JF Love— A Kiss Love is the golden thread by which Hearts are brought close to each other, And a kiss is the little stitch Binding the hearts ' love up together. — Ready Strong. 169 Autobiography of The Snow Man By Wm. J. Baeon I will not attempt to relate my history before that eventful day when I made my debut into Cumberland University Ufe as a fully-developed snow- man, smiling my most frigid and friendly smile from my honored post in the doorway of Memorial Hall; neither will I tell of the soft glances from fair eyes I received as the co-eds tripped lightly by me on the campus each morn- ing, for that would not be fair to the impressionable maidens and it might complicate matters to some extent by making certain Lits and Theologs jealous. It had snowed frightfully for two days and I was scattered from one end of the campus to the other in tiny flakes of the beautiful. I scarcely dreamed of ever getting together again until I should become a rain cloud; and so, when the students conceived the brilUant idea of bviilding me I was more than delighted. And build me they did — right in the doorway of the haU, where aU the students of the university had to pass in review before me to enter and leave the building. Strange indeed were the things I beheld, and interesting were some of them, for a young man can throw his soul into even the task of putting on a lady ' s overshoes and dainty little feminine hands are quite as squeezable through a woolen mitten as when the mitten is absent. One morning it began to grow warmer and I realized that I must soon take my departure and return to my old haunts among the flying mists o f the skies. It grieved me to think that the last days of my sojourn would be as colorless and uninteresting as my stay had been up to that time — with nothing but a few spoony couples to give me diversion. However, a most pleasant stu-prise was in store for me — an exciting encounter that I had scarcely anticipated — a most fitting chmax to my career at Cumberland. It was the hour when the Theologs take their departure from the univer- sity, when the clatter of brogans and the bellowing of stentorian voices is hushed on the second floor and finally all becomes quiet and serene. March- ing boldly in a body they filed through the great doors of the ' Varsity and debouched into the sunlight of the snow-covered campus. Innocently they went to the slaughter Uke so many lambs. Suddenly a blood-curdling war- whoop rent the air — then pandemonium broke loose. A small army of Lits sprang from behind trees, shrubs and every conceivable place of concealment. With irresistible fury the Lits swept down upon the Theologs, discharging such volleys of snowballs as to almost hide the sun. The Theologs were taken by surprise, but they rallied. Bravely and fiercely they contested every inch of snow against overwhelming odds. I had always believed Theologs to be men of peace, but that day they demonstrated themselves to be men of war and good fighters at that. The struggle was short and fierce, and the result a foregone conclusion from the outset — the Wily Theologs were outnumbered and they had to retreat, but in their retreat they demonstrated themselves strategists of no mean ability, falling back slowly, sullenly and in good order upon Di ' inity Hall, routed but not conquered. It was a memorable conflict, and one which will be long remembered by those who par ticipated in it, as well as by the Snow Man, who acted as time-keeper, referee and umpire. 170 The Travelers ' Goal Far from the East, a land of fame and splendor, They journeyed, and to Judea made their way; And though ' twas night, the Day-Star had arisen — It led to where the Child-Redeemer lay. They came with hope, and coming brought rich treasures: Pure gold and gifts of gladness costly rare; And standing near the lowly Bethlehem manger. They gave them to the Savior lying there. Their gifts were such as proved their adoration And true devotion to the Holy Child, And as they gazed on Him, the real Messiah, Methinks the patient, tender mother smiled. The father Joseph, too, was there, beholding The honors thus conferred upon the Son, And watching there he may have breathed a prayer: God of our fathers, may thy kingdom come. The way-worn travelers, having seen the Savior, And worshipped Him whose claims were infinite. From Bethlehem returned to their own country — No need now of the star to guide aright. Well may the brightest star grow dim, And fade and vanish out of sight, When the true light is found in Him Who came to Bethlehem that night. To him may all the wise men come, And those who know not wisdom ' s ways May find in God ' s eternal Son A source of everlasting praise. — V. Frank Grice. 171 srrtbttur, srribttur.
