By THE STAFF. 0) 3 o 2L X X M U M U u y J ' : , vyh mgs When time, with gentle hand, shall weave Her silken veil around the past; Our college days shall longest cleave, And fade from memories page the last. What joys between thy covers rest, Dear book; what smiles and gentle tears: — Th} every page how richly blest With stored up bhss for future years. HE Phoenix is the annual publication edited by the students of Cumberland University. Primarily this book is a reminiscence of the days and years spent within the walls of Old Cumberland and within the confines of dear Old Lebanon. If it fulfills that mission it has accomplished that for which it was designed. Read it, fellov student, and cherish it not as art nor as liter- ature but as a souvenir of college days. We have tried to represent in picture and in story every department and phase of life as we live it while here. This must include mainly work, but it cannot ignore our social intercourse, our relig- ious association, and our athletic combats. We are privileged to portray one of the most successful years in all the illustrious history of Cumberland University. The attendance is unusually large and the student body ranks high in intellect and in moral standing. Twice the illustri- ous sons of Cumberland met Vanderbilt upon the basket ball floor and twice was Vandy stung. As spring approaches it is evident that we have the finest prospects in our history for baseball. Hence we chronicle a year of unprecedented hap- piness among the students, alumni and friends of Old Cum- berland. We do not ask you to examine the merits of the book (or its lack of merit) but we ask you to gaze upon it and review it as a memento of bygone days which nothing else can so easily and truly recall. Our work is done, whether well or poorly, our readers must decide. And now we send upon its mission another volume of The Phcenix. Seven other members of this Phoenix family are already in existence and we plead for this one the same warm reception which has been awarded its predecessors. D o B rf O Divinity Hall Auditorium, Caruthers Hall HE year 1842 was remarkable not only for its preser- vation of the continuity of time, but for its being the natal year of Cumberland University. Up to this year the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Bonn, Heidelberg, Gottingen, The Sarbonne and some others were attempting to do all the stunts of higher education for the world. They were too few, they were too weak. The cause of learning and progress were suffering. The dark ages were about to return. Cumberland University was born. And Lo, what a change. Before the birth of Cumberland University, one in order to be heard by his best girl, had to sit down close to her, on the same sofa and perhaps in the same chair with her. But thanks be to the felicity of the times inaugurated after 1842, one can talk to his lovely Glycera a hundred, 3 ea, a thousand miles away. Note the dull, gloomy gas lights before 1842, and the brilliant, magnificent electric lights of today, or rather of tonight. The few pjTamids of Egypt were about the only objects the whole past could point to with pride as to height, but behold the many sk3 ' scrapers to be seen in our cities since 1842. To look down from their dizzy heights would give even Icarus or Daedalus vertigo. Croesus and Solomon have occupied the center of the stage in the past on account of their great wealth, but one of our millionaires could put both of these gentlemen, with all of their money, in his vest pocket and then have plenty of room left for his watch. Without specializing further, if the pictures of the world could be taken before and after 1842, there would be a veritable before and after taking. Post hoc ergo propter hoe. The vaiscn d ' etre of Cumberland University can not, therefore, be doubted. Like the majority of great things, however, she had a hum- ble origin. She existed in an embryonic or potential state for sixteen years as Cumberland College at Princeton, Ky. Conspicuous among her many virtues has been her povert} ' . She has never been the favorite dumping ground for the stocks and bonds of multi-millionaires. To no alarming ex- tent has tainted money found its way to her sacred vaults. Her endowment has consisted, in the main, of radiant opti- mism, salubrious atmosphere, and of the glory and learning of her numerous Alumni. The present assets are buildings and endowment am.ount- ing to $300,000; five departments, Literary, Law, Engineer- ing, Theological and Music; three Libraries; chemical, bio- logical and physical laboratories; two victorious ball teams, a strong Faculty, a glorious past, an encouraging present, and a bright future. 11 a, Mathematics On the 2Sth day of June, 1828, at Boonesboro, Ark., Andrew H. Buchanan first beheld the light with which he is now so familiar. Fresh from the backwoods and with only a heroic courage and an in- domitable will to support him, he entered Cumberland University when twenty-one, to emerge therefrom four years later with two degrees, A. B. and C. E. His instructor in Mathematics was the scholarly and afterwards soldierly, General A. P. Stewart. L incoln University later conferred upon him a I L . D. degree. Since 1869 he has been teach- ing Mathematics in Cumberland. For twenty years, during his vaca, tions, he was employed in the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey where officially and publicly he received many compliments for accuracy. His work as a Topographical Engineer, during the war, under Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, was remarkably accurate and trustworthy. He uses his own text book in Trigonometry and is Dean of the Faculty. W. D. McLaughlin, Pk D. Latin and Greek William D. Mcl aughlin was born in Bessemer, Alabama, March 11, 1847. A rustic son of toil, he early evinced an inclination to absorb wisdom and resolved to win an education whatever the cost. Penni- less and alone he made his way to Cumberland University and became a student. Since that eventful day he has earned three degrees; A. B., A. M., and Ph. D. In 1870 he was called back after having served throughout the war (much of the time in prison), and accepted the Chair of Latin and Greek, which he has honored from that day. A humorist of high order and a finished scholar, his class work is in- tensely interesting. Never is the hour dull, no matter how hard the lesson, or how homesick and blue the class. His trite sayings are on the tongues of every student who has ever recited to him. He occu- pies a warm spot in the heart of every one who knows him. Iis§ Clara Earle lern Languages Miss Clara Earle was born at Cane Hill, Ark., and is the daughter of Rev. F. R. Earle, a pioneer and highly respected minister of the Presbyterian Church. Her preparatory work was done at Cane Hill College. . She took her A. B. degree from the Univei ' sity of Arkansas. She also did post-graduate work at the University of Chicago and spent a year studying in Europe at Sarbonne and the College de Prance. She traveled extensively in Prance, Italy and Spain. Her first teaching w-as done in Arkansas Cumberland College at Clarks- ville, Ark. L,ater she was called to her Alma Mater as a teacher. She was called to Cumberland in 1902 where she has since occupied the Chair of Modern Languages. Miss Earle lives for the students. Her constant study is to make them happy and to lend encouragement and sympathy. Her unselfish spirit is manifest to all who know her. 12 A. H. Buchanan, LL. D. W. D. McLaughlin, Ph. D. Miss Clara Earle E E. Weir, Ph. D. J. S. Waterhouse, A. M. C. H. Kimbrough, A. M. E. E. Weir, Ph. D. Philosophy Edward Everett Weir was born at Ashbysburg, Ky., Oct. 15, 1854. He was educated principally in Cumberland University, receiving from it the degrees of A. B,, A. M., and Ph. D. He began teaching in High Schools but his scholarship became too well known to allow him to remain there long, and he was called to his Alma Mater where he has occupied the chair of Philosophy since 1880. He helped to organize the Cumberland University Annex, which afterwards became the L ebanon College for Young Ladies, and has been its President for ten years. He is secretary of the Literary Faculty. Prof. Weir is a scholar of the profoundest type. His knowledge of the human mind and its attendant phenomena is such as but few possess, and has been acquired only by a life study. A persistent reader, a close observer, a logical thinker, and above all a lover of and a searcher after the truth; he is a most interesting and instructive conversation- alist. J. S. Waterhouse, A. M. Natural Sciences James Smartt Waterhouse was born on the 29th day of Dec. 1874, in Murray county. Ga. His early education was secured in Chattanooga and he entered Cumberland in 1894 graduating in 1897 receiving an A. B. degree. In 1899 he received his A. M. He also attended Chi- cago University, doing post graduate work. He began teaching in Auburn Seminary but was called to Cumberland in 1898, where he has since taught Natural Sciences. He is acting Registrar of Cumber- land University and has been eminently successful in enlarginar the student body. This year he is manager of the Dormitory and under him it is enjoying its most prosperous year. He is Faculty supervisor of athletics. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and also of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. C. H. Kimbrough, A. M. English and English Literature Charles Hulin Kimbrough was born in Alabama, but was educated in Texas and Tennessee. He was first a student in the University of Texas. He then entered Cumberland and received hia A. B. degree in 1903 and A. M. in 1907. He did post-graduate work in the Univer- sity of Chicago. Since his graduation in 1903 he has been teaching English and English Literature in his Alma Mater, and in the Leba non College for Young Ladies. Prof. Kimbrough is manager of the Lyceum Course and much of the splendid success of this popular series of entertainments is due to his wise selection and management. He is also associated with Prof. Waterhouse in the Registrar ' s office where his ability is manifest. An earnest and devoted student of literature, he is fast forging to the front in the ranks of English scholars in the Southland. Success will surely crown his efforts. He is unmarried. IS University Chancellor and Dean of Law School Born at Winchester, Tenn., Feb. 19, 1827, Nathan Green entered Cumberland when sixteen and received his A. B. degree at twenty. Two years later he was a L L . B. from the same institution and in 1873 Center College of Kentucky made him a IvL . D. He began the practice of I aw in I ebanon and continued successfully seven years, laying it aside to accept a Chair in the I aw School in 1856. He still occupies that Chair and is Dean of the L aw School. For twenty-two years he served Cumberland ?as Chancellor, resigning in favor of a younger man. He is now acting President, since the resignation of President Mitchell one year ago. He is a writer of note. Sparks From a Backlog is from his pen. A typical Southern gentleman, he combines simplicity with a sincere love of and admiration for the beautiful. He is a perfect gentleman, an eminent scholar and a rare character. A. B. Martin, LL. D. Law Polished, affable, genial, just, A self-made man, yet without a superior. Born Dec. 9, 1836, at Trousdale ' s Ferry, Smith County, Tenn., without early advantages, Andrew Bennett Martin came to L ebanon when fifteen years of age, where by hard work and consis- tent application he procured a good literary education and the L I . B. degree from Cumberland in 1858. Lfincoln University conferred the L(Lt. D. degree upon him in 1883. He practiced law with eminent suc- cess for twenty years. During the war he served as an Adjutant General on the staff of Gen. Hatton until the latter ' s death, when he served under Dibrell, and later under Gen. Wheeler until the close of the war. He began teaching law in Cumberland in 1878, and has been President of the Board of Trustees since 1862. He was a dele- gate to two National Democratic Conventions.

Five years of his life were spent in connection with Herr Eugene Feuch- tinger, whom he succeeds in Cumberland. Prof. Gise has had thir- teen years experience as a teacher in the North, Fast and South, and in every section his talent and attainments stand out prominently. He presides at the pipe-organ in the Presbyterian Church in L ebanon and is a large factor in the excellent musical features for which this church is noted. Miss Edna Beard Violin Miss Fdna Beard is a L cbanon girl, the accomplished daughter of Hon. F. F. Beard who stands as a leader in University and Church circles.

LowKY, Secretary and Treasurer J. B. Havron, Historian C. R. Endslky, Class I iar Kaxhbrine Mace, Phoenix Representative Early in the fall of 1904 the faculty discovered in the remarkable Freshman Class the symptoms of greatness that, in the Seniors of 1908 are fully developed. Yet all great men have the faults incident to their genius, and the Seniors of this year are no exception to this rule. I say this that those who aspire to become Seniors — and con- sequently great — may not feel so timid about trying it. The Seniors are great for several reasons. One is that they believe it so strongly themselves. Another is that several girls too young to know when they are bored to death also believe it. Any one desiring further proof should visit the Mutual Administration Society held each morn- ing in the hall about the close of the second period. The Senior class is typical of the cosmopolitan spirit of the student body of Cumberland University. Though it numbers but six, they represent interests varying from the Anti-Prohibition League to the Y. M. C. A., from the leading fraternities of the college world to the anti-frat. ring of East Main, from the near married to the confirmed bachelor, from the Calculus grind to the Byron enthusiasts, from the preacher to the engineer, from the athlete to the budding poet, from followers of Bryan to supporters of Roosevelt, yet the utmost har- mony in politics prevails when the Senior co-ed is nominated for an office that means hard work. And what of the Senior co-ed? Well no frat. is advertised on her shirt waist, nor are any Please Remits addressed to Pa for her dear sake, yet the Senior allows no one to bully her but himself and he gives her brotherly advice about Theologs. L ikewise the Senior co-ed remains steadfastly platonic for she knows full well that, even were it not unconventional in I ebanon society to love more than one man at a time, all of them together are too broke to buy cheese to feed the rat in her pompadour, not to mention Lowney ' s for herself. 30 CHARLES ROSS ENDSLEY, P. K. A., Belfast, Tenn. Entered C. U. ' 02; Class Pres. ' 02-3; Dormitory Foot- ball Team ' 03; Class Pres. ' 03-4; Y. M. C. A.; Instructor in Greek and Ivatin in Brandon School ' 05-7; Pres.

He is a living contradiction of the Holy Writ which says that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, for does not the class of ' 08 point to him with pride and say: Be- hold our star? His strong-est char- acteristic is his ability to talk fluently on any subject without know- ing anything about it; but allow him his choice and he plunges into an enthusiastic account of Me and Her. He devotes his leisure time to the production of light literature and to whooping it up for Cumber- land. From a scenic point of view he is not a success, but he is not in any way to blame, and that should not be held against him. There is a striking point of simi- larity between Endsley and the philosopher Kant. When Kant ap- peared on Philosophers Walk each afternoon the inhabitants of Ko- nigsberg knew that it was exactly half-past four. When Endsley is seen each af tern oon headed toward the postoffice the citizens of West Main turn their clocks to 5:05. TO THE 32 IvUCIEN RUBY, K. S., Madison- ville, Ky.

C. g-irls call him Dearie but the fellows call hin Maud . Early in life he intended being a min- ister but, like Mr. Finne3 ' ' s turnip, he grew and he grew until he realized that a clergyman ' s salary would never be adequate to meet his tailor bills so he decided to be an engineer. But there is more to Maud than mere avoirdupoise — he has an intellect that wrestles successfully with the knottiest problems of Calculus or that can produce a mustache on twelve hours notice. Maud is an optimist and takes life easy. In fact his only troubles are keeping awake in Philosophy class and getting shoes large enough. The height of his ambition is to be mentioned every week in the Cumberland Weekly. 36 JAMES BROCK HAVRON, S. A. E., Whitwell, Tenn. Entered C. U. ' 04.

But whatever may be his failing ' s he is a gentleman and a Christian Scientist He gets his re- ligion from Mary Baker G. Eddy and his opinions from Elbert Hubbard. Throughout his college career Mr. Havron has been an honor student and a leader in all laudable student enterprises. But long after all else is forgotten his heroic conduct at the Dormitory fire will be remembered when he attempted to extinguish the blaze with a lighted lamp. His life s-tands for the qualities that make the personality of an ideal college man. Yet Jimmie is a paradox and a m3 ' s- tery even to himself. Faithful in friendship, fickle in love, generous to a fault, charitable toward the shortcomings of others, merciful toward his own. Who is it that can solve him ? 33 J. A. CAIvIvAN, Gaylesville, Ala. Caruthers Society; Football Squad ' 04-5; Entered C. U. ' 03; Y. M. C, A.; A. B. ' 08. Callan has devoted himself to the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom and left the co-eds out. Yet he adores ladies. With this thorn in the flesh his steadfastness of purpose and sta- bility of character are admirable, for in class he is an embodiment of our motto: Semper praesens, semper paratus. He is engaged to the girl he left behind. Yet he never mur- murs or repines for the excitement of an ly. C. serenade or the un- certain favors of a Sans Souci queen. The only reason he isn ' t mar- ried is that there are a half dozen in the Senior class and he doesn ' t want to break up the assortment. - ' -fei y j 34 NICHOI AS TALMAGE LOWRY, P. K.

From the very first the lad grew and prospered and needed only small do«es of powder administered in a leaspoon to assist him toward his future career. Soon he learned to crawl in a peculiar crab-like manner, and in due course of time he came to Cumberland. Year by year he has won honors for himself until we think Nick is four-square, perfect on all sides. He is one of the five who have won for Cumberland the championship in basketball. Prof. Weir is indebted to him for some new ideas about Psychology. The walls of Caruthers vibrate with his eloquence, and the wholesome Christian life that he lives is an influence that is ennobling. Yet why is it that the Creaior hath made his heart a stone? Co-ed echoes why? 35 KATHERINE MACE, Lebanon, Tenn. Vice Pres. Freshman Class: Pres. Student Bod} ' of School of Ora- tory ' 04; Pres.

Though a student of the School of Liberal Ar s, she has a wealth of information on all sub- jects pertaining both to theology and law, having absorbed this by associa- tion with a few of the extra super representatives of these depart- ments. She has evolved from a Freshman with theological proclivi- ties into a full orbed Senior, optimistic, radiant, brilliant, and buoy- ant with strong leaning; s toward the legal profession. As a trusty and trustee of love affairs Miss Katherine has proved herself pre- eminently fitted and qualified on several occasions and has more times than one helped to cheer the cheerless and despondent of her class who occasionally take it seriously. She is orthodox, heterodox homogeneous, heterogeneous Campbellite and Christian all at once. No student has received more honors from the student body. She is cosmopolitan, being a loyal Campbellite, Presbyterian at bottom, and Christian exparte. Miss Katherine is conversant with the scrip- tures, but thinks Edward W. Bok and his staff und ' rstand women better. In athletics she distinguished herself in her Junior year, making good on the varsity track team by outsprinting a young divine noted for speed and endurance. =5, «Y 36 Motto — Never hurry, never worry.

FRANKS Phoenix Representative Class Roll Coile, L. S., Lebanon, Tenn. — Linny did his preparatory work at Bak- er-Himel, Knoxville, and from there entered Tusculum College, where he ranked high as a student. He entered Cumberland in ' 07, and while here has been deservedly popular. He intends sometime to take an A. B. here and then — well, he says he has never thought seriously about what he would do. S. A. E. Franks, W. D., Kenton, Tenn. — W. D. took his preparatory work at Kenton Institute, where he finished in ' 04 and entered Cumberland the same year. Since coming here he has been forced to stay out one year,- recuperating from over-study, but is back again, and, luck favorable, v ill take his A. B. next year. Caruthers, Y. M. C. A., Business Manager Cumberland Weekly ' o3. Mace, B. M., Lebanon, Tenn. — Beem did his preparatory work (or, at least, says he did some) over at Castle Heights, where he completed his work in ' 05. He entered Cumberland the same year and, while here, has devoted most of what time he has not filled in with something else, to his studies. He is the athlete of the class, being Captain-elect basketball ' 08- 38 ' oQ. He, too, is working for an A. B. Caruthers, Y. M. C. A., Business Manager Phoenix, S. A. E. Parker, L. P., Gallatin, Tenn. — Quanah ' started his preparatory train- ing at Gallatin Male Seminary and finished it up at Castle Heights in ' 05. He entered Cumberland the same year and while here has done a pro- digious amount of work, but it has been mostly elective work to a cer- tain teacher down the street. He thinks maybe he, too, can take an A. B. next year. Caruthers. Reynolds, W. W., Mt. Vernon, Mo. — Kid did all of his ante-college work at Castle Heights and came to Cumberland direct from there in ' 05. He is the original concoctor and sole manufacturer of Reynold ' s Favor- ites, the brands so well known to University students. He is working for an A. B., but refuses to tell when he thinks he will get it. Seat, W. R., Lebanon, Tenn. — Bill is a Tennessean in all that the name implies. He did fine preparatory work at Castle Heights and entered Cumberland from there in ' 05. He has missed one year here, but declines emphatically to say one word ' about where he was or what he did. Some think he was acting as supremie high counsellor to the King of Siam. It ' s an A. B. for him next. Caruthers, Y. M. C. A. White, W. M., Auburn, Ky. — Freshman is the only night rider we have, but he is of the harmless sort. Did his preparatory work at Auburn Seminary and entered Cumberland in ' 05. He is the only really incorrigi- ble society man we have and does the sporting for the whole class. Will take an A. B. next year. Yes, we are only Juniors, but we are proud of it. While we are not as vain and boastful as Seniors, we are glad that we are not as verdant as Freshmen, nor do we claim to be as all-wise as the pompous Sophomore. We rejoice, too, never again after this year will we have to approach with fear and trepidation an upper classman, but will ourselves exact that homage so justly due. We are sadly deficient in one respect and we frankly admit our weak- ness. Not even one soulful, sentimental, gushing, giggling, gum-chewing co-ed is thefe among us. Truly we can make good one of our boasts, that we are the most manly class here. The one distinguishing characteristic of the class is their great love for work. Duty has ever come before pleasure and although the task has at times seemed great, we have stuck to it and intend to stick to it until we rdachj the goal for which we have been striving. We realize too that as yet we have gleaned only a little from the great field of knowledge, but this we have tried to learn well. We are looking forward pleasantly to another year ' s work here and then we scatter, each to fight his own battles, but may we come out winnvr f - ' ch and all.

That shake the planet ; or in lyric strain. To pour forth some melodious refrain Of soul-born music; such would trivial be, When reckoned with the task imposed on me. Such is the nature of my lofty theme That any feeble words of mine would seem But empty sounds, unsuited to proclaim Immortal scions of immortal fame. O muse, sweet singer of the heavenly throng, Vouchsafe for once to me the gift of song. Imbue my soul with that celestial fire That wakes to ecstasy the living lyre, And guide the flight of fancy as it soars, For I must catalogue the Sophomores ! There ' s Henry Blackburn called beautiful eyes. The College girls he always spies. When toward the Green house they are bound, Then right beside them Henry is found, And this fact proves his judgment sound. Miss Hazel Henry brings a timely mirth Into the heavy, classic atmosphere, Which Sophomores create, and it is worth Your money and your while simply to hear Her rippling laughter, unmistakable and clear. Delinquent fame, on some auspicious day Will haste to place a wreath of mortal glory Upon the head of Bishop Galloway, Or celebrate his name in song and story. Fame probably will find him in the labo ratory. Hist! let terrestial noises all be stilled! Behold one of that mystic company Of learned scholars who are never filled. But always craving more philosophy. ' Tis Daniel Moses Welch, from Soddy, Tennessee., O great learned scholars have we, or to speak Who surpasses the ancients in Latin and Greek. Faithful in duty, at his post every week Is J. W. Holmes. We call him, alas! The Cincinnatus of Sophomore Class. There is Scholar Maxwell, so silent and stern, Wfe imagine his greatest desire is to learn, 44 This worthy ambition not any should spurn. For Maxwell we prophesy undying fame, And soon ' miid the masters we ' ll search for his name. Miss Mildred Bone, whose name we next present, Hails from Kentucky, famous for its belles. Upon her age ' tis useless to comment, For like all other girls she never tells. She ' s our esteemed poet, in which art she excels. O handsome brother has this fair co-ed, John W. called, of philosophic mien. His ringlets are a rich, ripe, rare red. Not easily forgotten, once they ' re seen. They say his favorite anthem is God save the Queen. ' George Bouton first we introduce to you. Like his great namesake George adores the truth. This worthy son of Hatton avenue. Is a somewhat retiring, studious youth, He ' s fond of mathematics and co-eds forsooth. From distant Texas Thomas Cravens came. Thirsting for knowledge, bent on drinking deep Of that Pierian Spring of classic fame Wherein the learned love their brains to steep. He wears the smile that won ' t come off, even in his sleep. Thereis one of our class who in athletics shines. And for him many a green laurel twines. And not all his pleasure in strength he finds. For at chemistry he steadily grinds. ' Tis Miller, for whom we ' ve written these lines. Then Peter Wilson with cheeks rosy and red Would do much better without girls in his head. If Greek and Latin he studied instead Examinations he would not so much dread ; But, alas ! ' twill not happen until he is dead. One who combines in excellent degree Substantial qualities of heart and head. Such is Miss Dovie Martin, happily So named, for, like a dove, it may be said She soars, but not away — a typical co-ed. Joe Orr„ the greatest English scholar-to-be. A lover of Wordsworth ' s immortality. He through the depths of Milton ' s verse can see ; Also through Shakespearian drama he readily speeds. And we doubt not in future we ' ll hear from his deeds. 4S Then there is Watson, handsome and tall. Captain of the scrubs in basketball. In the Lone Star State he received his call. As he came to Cumberland in the fall. Where he will finish his studies all. Another is Williams, who is not very tall. The greatest acrobat of them all. Sometimes he gets a fearful fall ; But that to him is a matter small. Because he bounces like a ball. One of the brightest of our crowd Is Marmaduke Harrison, to whom is allowed The leader in chemistry, of which he is proud. This honored position calls forth no rebuke ; But makes in all envy this great Marmaduke. There ' s Miss Mary Owen Stratton, retiring and meek, And she for each lesson will earnestly seek, Except trigonometry, and there she is weak. We hear that she loudly refused to take Greek ; But more of her we had better not speak. Gill G. Harris, one of all earth ' s few Immortal scholars, whose colossal track Sinks deep into the sands of time — as true, And valiant hero who has no lack. His learning would, I fear, your senses rack. As stern and dignified a Sophomore As any member of that royal bunch Is our illustrious friend, Oscar Ditmore. The only time he hurries is for lunch. So love-sick now he is, he can no more than munch. Miss Mignon Myra Hall, with talent rich and rare. Has won such fame in literary lines That now all earth comes hasting to declare That she all former genius far outshines, And others far surpasses with her rhymes. Last, but not least, Miss Foster will I treat, Among the fairest of our fair co-eds; Than her there ' s none more adorably sweet. Her smile her fond admirer always dreads, Because it throws him prostrate at her feet. 46 Class Flower — Violet. Class Colors — Purple and Gold.

Frophecy: — Hear ye the burden of the prophecy of the seer of the class of the department of theology. Morpheus came upon me in the midst of the lecture and brought me out and set me down in the valley of future years, and it was full of dry bones. I looked and lo, they were very dry. Then a voice said unto me, Senior, can these bones live? And then I answered and said, O Voice of the Future, thou knowesti Then he said, Many years ago sawest thou them, and dry they were, dry they are now, and dry they shall ever be. A great sadness came over me. There was a great noise in the valley, and a great commo- tion, and the sound thereof was like unto the rattling of dry bones. Again the voice said unto me, Knowest thou these? I looked again and behold they were very dry, but I knew them not. Then the voice said Awake, O Senior, for, lo, these dry bones are they of whom thou art one, and among whom thou art. I awoke and behold it was a dream and the Seniors were crowding about mc and the lecturer was gone. Ck8«Hbtory— ???????? Class Poem— Yet to appear.

Woodard will not seek diamonds or gold, but a treas- ure that is richer than both; a guardian angel to help him through life ' s toil. The Middler Short Route At first we all did number eight Upon our way to heav ' n, But one fell out to lig-hten freight Which left us only sev ' n. To heav ' n we set our stubborn head To satisfy our soul, We landed to the north instead Upon the frigid pole. Can ' t we be carried to the skies On airy beds of ease, While others seek to win the prize Upon their calloused knees? (Warning to Juniors) Don ' t try to gain the dizzy heights By some hot air device, For you will lose much sleep at nightt And land upon the ice. Keep humble, would you upward go, Keep on your little knees, For there ' s a place on down below Where people do not freeze. —[The Cla $ Poet. 64 l||i|pp ' - l ' ' ' ; • ■: .

History of Junior Class So much of the history of the Junior Class as can be recorded certainly presents a variety of facts. We are twelve . The same number, but by no means, the same kind of material as that which went to make up the personnel of our Lord ' s Disciples. Nine States and two continents are represented. Texas and Tennessee furnish two each; Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and Scotland furnish one each. There is also a variety of ages. There is variety of experience in ministerial work also, some just beginning, while others have been on the firing line for fifteen years. Our personal appearance is also varied, if not attractive. There are long and short men, lean an dfat men ; red- headed, black-headed and bald-headed men. Some are married and others wish to be. Our one point of resemblance is that we are an unpromising set in the estimation of the faculty. Ask Doctor Foster. Nevertheless, we have made some footprints on the sands of time, and below a few are mentioned. William Heni-y Baker — Born in Crocket, Texas, 1878. A. B. Trinity University, 1905.

The words formed themselves into sentences, the sentences ranged themselves into paragraphs, and with crushing force the mighty torrent of logic and eloquence dashed upon the bewildered foe. Hs brain had never been so fertile, his tongue never so pliant, his spirit never so exuberant and masterful. It seemed as though the polish of Cicero and the force of Demosthenes, the fire of Henry and the terrible thunder of Webster had met at last in the ever dreamed of forensic power was his ; a voice like fine music, an eye of flame, a Chesterfieldian gesture and a logic irresistible. The crowded court room leaned forward breathless, the jury were fascinated, even the judge could not retain his composure, and the little wiry clerk dropped his stubby pencil in open mouthed-admiration. And best of all She was there, the etruscan gold of her hair gleamiing like an aureole in the stray sunbeam that seemed to linger delightedly around her head ; her blue eyes aglow with the admira- tion that was the crowning glory of his splendid triumph. It was magnifi- cent, unparalleled, fame, fortune, love, Paradise — and he so young. The roar of applause startled him. He moved uneasily and slowly sat erect. He rubbed his eyes and looked around the court h — no this was his room ! There was the faded coverlet upon the table, and the hard, mean- ingless sentences of Fourth Kent leering at him through the dingy glow of the perishing grate fire. There his coat, collar and cuffs lying in a disheveled heap where they had tumbled off the rickety chair. Across the table he could hear the fitful gurgle of the ink trickling down the half- burned cigar with which he had evidently attempted to cork it. The chair hurt him decidedly, the cushion crumpled no doubt ! He put down his hand to straighten it and pulled forth his beautiful derby that he had purchased yesterday in Nashville — was it yesterday? Ah, now he remem- bered there was his ague bottle — empty. Confound the ague ! It so affect- ed a fellow ' s head. Somebody was pounding on the door. Ten o ' clock, sah ! You ' ll miss your class, sah ! He was wide awake now. The glorious court room ' had vanished. Fame, for him, the whole Paradisical glitter — it was nothing but a dream, and She, confound it and She, he remembered, bitterly had driven off up the Rome pike yesterday with a real lawyer, and he, by the prophet ' s beard, and he was only an embryonic Senior who had lost his way at Nashville and missed his breakfast. 73 Motto True life is reaching up through all the years To nobler, lovelier things ; ' Tis lifting skyward as the flower, To catch the sunlight and the shower, Till slow unfolding to the croon Of evening winds and streamlets rune, It stands at last a perfect rose, And spreads on every breeze that blows The perfume of its gratitude; Be this our motto then, Be true, — nor fate Can then prevent our being triply great.

From North and South, from East and West We came on invitation, To reap what other hands had sown By many streams, with tear and moan, True husbandmen of Truth, long flown, And bear it through the Nation. Swift have they flown, the happy days, Our hearts v ill oft recall them; The kindly face of many a friend We ' ll follov to the journey ' s end, And watch with joy the upward trend, With tears should ill befall them. And those gray heads and sunny hearts. Who gave their benediction Of wisdom through the toilsome house Of Lawsuit days and darker Pov ers , And Tunnels where Plutonian showers Most threatened life ' s eviction. We pray for each the Writ of Peace That passeth understanding, And join with many an elder son The flawless chorus of well done ! Long may its music outward run Before they reach the landing. But when the final transfer ' s made Of that far-famed Black-acre, And John at last has married Jane, His tardiness oft caused us pain ; May the dear Judge for endless gain Find it God ' s shhiing acre. And in that choir where chipping in Shall mar no glorious measure, We hope to find our Doctor friend, With wit and wisdom still to blend — The grave and gay — the swift depend To do the Master ' s pleasure. The clock strikes out the hour — we turn Where love and duty call us ; We must not tarry here too long, Though sweet to mingle friendship ' s song. For ours the task to right the wrong Whatever ills befall us. Still may v:e quit ourselves like men, Each strong and true and tender; And when we yield our life estate Receive from our Great Advocate, A home in Fee v ■; ' ... n the Gate, From the Supreme Defender. 77 A Dedication To Judge Nathzm Green on the Presentation of a Loving Cup, March 19, 1908 ROBERT BROWN Lo.ve is the vastest, ocean ; it enfolds : All continents, and sweeping outward far Its waters sing on the eternal shore. Love is the vastest, ocean, and it holds Our hearts as islands in its tender clasp, And keeps them fresh ; clothes them with beauty, Fragrant, flowers and .fruits that .never fail To satisfy our longing. Love is the golden atmosphiere that woos Our lives unto their noblest. Thou hast drawn, True teacher, thou hast drawn to loftier life By high example and by precept pure, For not alone hast thou discoursed to us of law, But still a finer spirit in your words Spoke to our hearts, and moved us Godward. Love is the breath of the eternal years That turns to melody a mortal ' s speech. And so you speak to us and move our hearts, ' Because, you love us — endless gain, For love, like music, throbs responsively. Great teacher, take our love! We can but love .. • The sweet simplicity that makes, you great ; The .dear unconsciousness of princely mind; The childlike bear ing of a royal heart. Dear teacher, keep our love ! The love of those Whom thou hast, led by quiet streams until We ' ve learned more fully what it means to live. Keep through the years and time beyond the years ; And happily in spite of wanderings The truth that. thou hast taught us here to lore Shall draw thy children ac the close of day Around thy feet, as we to-night have sat To hear thee, bless us as the Patriarch.: Yea and we shall be blessed, and come through faith To sit. with. thee Jaeside the Larger Lave. 79 Jimior Law Class W.

Early in the history of the Law School the Moot Court was estabhshed, and during its history has been very ably presided over by our beloved teacher, Dr. A. B Martin. In this Moot Court many of the ablest jurists of Tennessee and sister states have received their first training for their profession. It is sincerely hoped and believed that many who are now its mem- bers, will go out into the world more fully prepared and more strongly equipped for the duties of their profession by having been its members — ■- men who will achieve distinction in life and who will reflect honor upou pur Moot Court and Law School, Roll of Members Easterling Toler Serenbetz. • Keck Murphy Wolff Hanna Witt Powell Lawrence Hunter Jordon Niles Lewis Hammond Jacobs Cory Stockton Conwell Legett Bickers Pemberton Weeks Walker Gillis Sheltoii Kelley Dunlap Powers Rogers Counts Stout Hunter Counts Dry den Hamilton Speers Brown Kerr Batts Blackshear Patter-son Compton, Jr. Gallaway Sparks Whorton Compton, Sr, Curtis Spears Chase Hale Lanier CoUings Bullington Eldridge Masengill Oarnelf Tucker Gillespie Clark Baskin Helton Gordon A.nderson 1 Jones Barnes ■ Etheridge Russell Holder Capshaw Fen law Anderson I Arnest Paxton Nicholson Burchfiel Donnely Webster Morrison Moore Settle Toler Draper Tate Shelly Goldstone, Human Crews Brockman Myers Conwell Hamblin Gregory Myers Anderson Reinberger Black ' lye Nelson Gore Campbell Jacobs Howell Robinson It 84 Piano Graduates Ethel Bouton Miss Uthel Bouton is a native of Mississippi, although for the past five years her home has been in Lebanon. I or three years she studied piano under Prof. Feuchtinger. Since then she has been a pupil of Prof. Gise. She completes the course in music this term, and will receive a diploma from the Conservatory. Miss Bouton has always been a sincere student, and her work reveals a most subtle appreciation of rausic. Olive Gollithan Miss Olive Gollithan graduated from the L . C. Y. I?, in 1905, where She also finished the course in music. She continued the study of music at Ward ' s Seminary in Nashville. Later she became a student in the Conservatory under Prof. Gise. Miss GoUithan ' s work is wor- thy of the highest artistic merit. She will graduate from the Con- servatory this term. 86 Ethel Bouton Olive Gallithan Cumberland University Conservatory PIANO CLASS ROLL Ethel Bouton, Tenn. Olive Gollithan, Tenn.

McSpadden W. M. White E. J. NlCHOI,SON Voice Voice culture is now regarded as part of an education, not only in singers but in speakers; on the platform and in social life. Shake- speare created a character who exclaimed, I pray you mend your voices. And ever since we have been striving to mend them. Ed- ucation is freedom — freedom from the bonds of ignorance. But seel we are crammed with facts and have no medium of communication. The voice is uncultivated and we hesitate to share with the eager listeners oiir finest thoughts. The world is waiting for free men — men who do not hesitate to respond to every good emotion through which God prompts them to speak and act, and here, alas! the voice is not free. They do not know how to use it, and all we know of the tumult of pent-up soul longing is a depth of yearning which looks out from far behind the eyes. Song is a part of life. He who tries to separate his work from the rhythm and beauty of life becomes a machine. Cumberland University will not be outdone by other insti- tutions of learning. The School of Music is certainly progressing, and the voice department, under the direction of Prof. R. P. Gise, is rapidly growing. TJhe class is now thoroughly enjoying the work. Prof. Gise starts the pupils on exercises for breathing and control of breath, then sustaining and sounding tones and many other compli- cated things. Then come songs, but (most sudden and unexpected to the pupil) a continuous return to exercises. The class represents all grades of society — preachers, teachers, matrons, old maids (I mean bachelor girls), fair young damsels and youths. The soloists are not at all tircid about singing before each other, and for the slightest word of praise the singer kindly repeats and redoubles his e:Sorts, so that often students from the Theological and Eiterary departments are attracted tovyard the studio. One lis- tener of a poetic temperament suddenly recalled a few lines from Shelby, and throwing back his head exclaimed — Teach me half the gladness that thy brain must know, Such harmonious madness from my lips would flow, The world should listen then, as I am listening now. Then stealing quietly down stairs he finished wi ' iting a translation in Hebrew. 91 loim lass Mary Ei iza Stmi,bs Martha I ynn Buchanan EVEI YN WrcsoN Carry Dodson Annie Hays Rick Mary Kirkpatrick Ei«i A Wharton John Fits Robertson Ai,BERT Henry Mrs. Jennie Organ Mrs. Hugh McDonnoi,d Hugh Hai i, Miss Edna Beard has been the teacher of this department during the past year, and the music lovers are looking with great intertest and favor upon her work, and her friends joy with her in her play- ing. The people do not hesitate to call on her for music, either of a social or sacred class, and she gives them all freely — classical, senti- mental and terpsichorean music — music which appeals to the head, heart and feet, and sometimes to all three together. Miss Beard ' s mode of procedure is almost strictly a feminine art. She inspires in her pupils first, interest, then enthusiasm; so that they love the fiddle and the bow, after this, as a natural consequence, work follows. The class is composed of workers of all ages — from the tiny tot to the mothers of tots. Miss Beard is president of the Tuesday Morning Musical Club of L ebanon. This club was organized October, 1907, and is limited to twenty-seven active members. They meet once a month at the homes of the members. The meetings are full of musical interest, some of the chief features being the study of the lives of the com- posers, also current items. During this season the Club has studied Mendelssohn, Bethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Greig and McDowell. They are now preparing to study Italian, German and French operas. The Club is now working up a cantata, The Eady of Shalott, to be given in April, with Prof. Gise as director. The Club is assisted by pupils of the voice department of the Conservatory. 92 Music Department The Conservatory for the last two years under the direction of Prof. Robert Paul Gise has become widely known throughout the south and west. The class roll in Piano has been unu sually large. There are eight states represented. The voice class also is doing ex- cellent work. During the past year Miss E dna Beard, violinist, has been the assistant in the Conservatory. Prof. Gise has the interest of each pupil at heart, inspiring them with a love for music. His work is based on thoroughness of fundamentals, and responsiveness and feeling in execution. The students are particularly in earnest, and have done some very artistic work. From the beginning of the study the beautiful is brought out. Even in the first simple melodies the young student is taught to be in perfect sympathy with and to par- ticipate in the emotion which prompted the composer. The fact that work is play under the influence of order is demon- strated by the enjoyment which many of the pupils get from their practice, and the utter abandon and ease with which the members perform at the open class meetings. Music is becoming an art more comprehensible to the listener through the careful training of those who interpret the classical com- positions. As the poet paints us word pictures and pours forth his songs in the lyrics — so the musician--as Abt Voglar, while extempo- rizing on the organ, tells of the Palace of music I reared, claiming each slave of the sound at a touch. Then the more subjective style which speaks out of the musicians words, giving here and there a rare glimpse of soul; and still another spontaneous burst of sony without words. One unassuming lover of music of the day has said: Whole events in history come down to me with the effect of an orchestra playing in the distance; single lives sometimes like a great solo. As for the people I know, or have known, some have the sound of wood, some the sound of brass, and some the sound of strings. On ' j so few, so very, very few, yield the perfect music of their kind. The brass a little too brassy; the wood a little too muffled; the strings, some of the strings, are invariably broken. I know a big man who is nothing but a big drum; and I know another whose whole existence has been a jig on a fiddle; and I know a shrill little fellow who is a fife; and I know a brassy girl who is a pair of cymbals; and once, once I knew an old maid who was a real living spinet. I even know another old maid who now is nothing but an old music book— long ago sung through, learned by heart and laid aside in a faded wrinkled binding, yellow paper stained by tears and haunt- ed by an odor of rose petals crushed between the leaves of memory; a stiff collection of the rarest songs. Martin Luther — he was a cathedral organ. And so the whole past sounds, it is the music of the world. Plato! he was the music of the stars. The most that we can do is to begin a strain that will swell the general volume and last on after we have perished. Last, the poet, priest, philosopher and musician, Robert Browning, tells us — God has a few of us whom he whispers in the ear — The rest may reason and welcome; ' tis we musicians know. 93. F. L. HUDSON President Oratorical Association G. B. JACOBS Secretary Oratorical Association J. S. HODGES Treasurer Cratorical Association This is an organization which is heard from once every year. Cumberland furnishes man} orators, and to this end she has the Local Oratorical Association. This local organi- zation is allied with the Tennessee Intercollegiate Oratorical Association and alwa3 s sends eloquent and able men to the contest. This year Messrs. R. E. Robinson of the Theologi- cal Department, Clarence Stewart of the Literary Depart- ment, and A. E. Darnell of the Law Department, strove for the honor of representing Cumberland in the contest. The honor fell on Mr. Robinson. This year the state contest will be held in Lebanon, and we are prepared to win. The officers of the State Association are Prof. J. S. Water house, Pres.; G. B. Jacobs, Sec; J. S. Hodges, Treas. Mr. F. L. Hudson ie president of the local association. 95 Cariitliers m HERE can be nothing- of which Caruthers L iterary Society may feel more proud than that she made the last year of her exist- ence the most successful in all her history. For nearly twenty years Old Caruthers has done a great work in the University, and as she reached the end of her last year under her present name, she took on new life. Her work at no time throughout the year has fal- len short of excellent, and as each Saturday night approached her loyal sons gathered into her halls like knights of The Round Table, filled with a zeal to achieve glory only for Old Caruthers. From the very nature of the case, being the only society for the students of the academic department, Caruthers ranks easily as the leading society in the University. Her regular annual inter- society debates with the husky embryonic lawyers of the Philoma- thean, are the great events toward which all look forward with un- usual interest and enthusiasm. Victory more often than defeat is the record of our history. Out from under her beneficient and kindly influence there have gone men who now fill some of the highest offices and posts of dis- tinction in our nation. And as this is our last time to pay a tribute to the living — one who lived and achieved her greatest success in the last year of her existence — may we all be inspired by those same great principles and ideals which have brought her great honor at the sunset of her life, to rise in the light of her example to higher heights, and, together with her alumni of days agone, let us sing to her memory this sweet sonthern song: Lay her kindly ' neath the cedars Where the whispering zephyrs blow; L et her rest beside that leader From whose name her fame did flow. !Lay her gently ' neath the cedars In the classic soil of lyebanon; Be that sacred spot her pillow ' Neath the warm sweet southern sun. 96 Carothers Society Officers Presidents Vice Presidents Secretaries L OWRY Cai,i,an Seat Maxweli, Franks White Franks Hutchison White Seat Hutchison L OWRY Treasurers Critics Censors Franks Orr Miss Hall Van CivEAVE Hudson Shatz Faui k Stewart Miss Oliver Miss Sebastian Burns Havron Parliamentarians Chaplains Sergeants-at-Arms MaxweI L Hutchison Galloway Havron Welch LOWRY Hudson Brown Maxwell Hudson Brown Franks Reps, to Weekly Phoenix Representative Miss Oliver Havron Seat Memberj C.

Ky. In 1842 the College was removed to Lebanon — although there • vere some Princeton people who did not think so — and became Cumber- land University. The membership of the Amasagassean came with the college, and tne society organization was continued, it being a source of natural pride that the society was older than the University itself. In 1848 t ' .c Amasagassean obtained a St te charter and its permanence was thus placed beyond peradventure. It weathered the great war, yet entered upon a period of suspended animation in 1890. With its long and honored record, it had won the sincere and lasting affection of many of its old members, so that its revival in 1908 was the realization of hi ' pc long entertained by many of its alumni. At the called meeting held for the purposeof receiving into the Amasagassean the entire membership of the Caruthers Society, the chair was occupied by Judge Nathan Green, who had been one of its incorporators 60 years before. The legends of old times in the Amasagassean are many. Weapons have been drawn and blood has flowed in its quarrels. But that w ; long ago. It goes forward now, with new and abundant life, toward brightest prospects. 98 Some Facts Before the days of Graphophones the Huerethelian Society was organ- ized for the purpose of coaching and helping one another in the art of effective delivery. How well it has fulfilled this mission is seen in its victorious representative to the Inter-Society Oratorical, March, 12, 1908. So suspicious are other Literary Societies becoming of the vitalizing atmosphere enveloping our hall that they are taking new quarters and as near us as possible. In the future, the Cumberland University preacher boys that are called to the highest and most sacred ecclesiastical positions will have the words HEURETHELIAN SOCIETY in frame just over their ofilice doors. If any of the Cumberland University preachers have regrets in heaven, that they would not became a member of this Society will be chief of all their regrets. But no members of this Society will have lamentations in heaven except those few who had to be dunncl and sued for dues. 99 Heurethelian Society J. T. E.J. Officers President Vice President Means J.

It is an incorporated body, as are its sisters, the HeuretheHan and Amasagassean. It is the most exclusive Society in the University accepting Law Students only as members. Its main object is to develop ths embryonic orator into the finished product and to transform the crude legislator into a real, live, up-to-date parliamentarian. But there is another object which excites much more enthusiasm and energy, (viz.) electioneering. Indeed the expression Philomatliean Election Night has for years been synoymous with political chicanery of everj ' sort and with all the hard feelings which are atteiidant thereto. This year has proved no exception to the rule. i } 103 Caruthers-Philomathean Debate The Caruthers-Philomathean debate has become an annual affair of more than passing interest in Cumberland literary society work. It occurred this year at Caruthers Hall, before an .enthusiastic audience, composed mainly of members- of the two societies. The general good feeling of the evening took practical shape in college yells and cheers for the opposing representatives of the two societies. Caruthers was ably representated by Messrs. F. L. Hudson and J. W. Holmes ; while the Philomathean ' s standards were nobly defended by Messrs. E. W. Brockman and E. J. Nicholson. All four of the boys rendered most creditable speeches, but the judges were of the opinion that the Philcmathean had the .better of the tussle. They received the unanimous decision of the judges. Dr. S. A. Coile, Rev. W. H. Doss, and the Plon. W. S. Faulkner. Dr. F. K. Farr presided. In the past four debates, including this one, Caruthers has won two and the Philomathean two. It was the Philomathean ' s turn to win this year and she rose to the occasion and did it right nobly. These debates are arranged for the purpose of promoting society work, and the encouragement of the spirit of debate, a result which we feel sure was accomplished in a very large measure by this year ' s joint meeti ' ng. A splendid feeling of harmony prevailed throughout the entire evening as well as a healthy society loyalty. This year ' s question was: Resolved,, That the Present Tendency Toward Centralization of Government is Detrimental to the Best Inter- ests of fhe People. 104 ATHg AgcS .. g.t Y. M. C. A. With Gen. A. P. Stewart as president, the first Y. M. V. A. ever organized in a southern school came into being in Cumberland Univversity in 1856. Not until 1881, however, was it firmly established as one of the potent factors for religious influence in the University, since which time it has grown and kept pace with the great world-wide Y. M. C. A. movement in the Colleges and Universities of the Christian nations. In the association the students are brought into a closer relationship; Christian fellowship is promoted and strong character formed. Young men are trained for christian service ; and every influence possible is brought to bear to lead students to Christ and to advance His kingdom. All members of the law and literary departments are elegible to membership in our Association. Last year the Association sent four of its members to Ashville, N. C. to the Southern Student Conference. This is one of the great privileges and opportunities of a life time for a student. These students take a ten day course in Bible study, and attend lectures and addresses by the foremost men in Christian work of the United States; and when in the fall, they come back to school they take up the Bible study classes in the University.

Officers PRESIDENT ..DOVIE MARTIN VICE PRESIDENT ELLIZABETH HUTCHISON SECRETARY TREASURER MARY OWEN STRATTON Members MARY FRANK COILE, VIRGINIA OLIVER, GRACE JOHNSON, CLEM EDMISTON, ETHEL BOUTON, MIGNON HALL, The object of the Y. W. C. A. is to develop the girls spiri tually and to fit them for service in Christian Work. The work is carried on in a quiet, earnest manner and has proved to be a great uplift to the girls, both ' spiritually and i ' n acquiring ability to conduct Christian services. One feature of the Y. W. C. A. is to stimulate interest in Missions by studying the different fields and their needs and progress. Bible Study is another important feature. The Association was greatly benefitted by the visit of the State Secretary, Miss Virginia Sinclair, who gave a series of interesting talks upon the work. Let us, as a local Association, do all in our power to fill the position, which the great spiritual awak- ening of the present shall oirake for us. 110 The Bible Circle In i88b the Bible Circle was organized for the systematic study of the Bible and kindred topics by the wives of mi ' ni ' sterial students. Since its inception it has had the benefit of the wise counsels of Mrs. C. H. Bell Mrs. R. V. Foster, who were instrumental in its orga ' nization. In addition it now has the able assistance of Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Bone and Mrs. Farr. This circle has been a source of inspiration and helpful suggestion to the great number of women who have been member during these 22 years. Among these are several foreign mis- sionaries, a number of home missionaries and many busy wives of pastors in every section of our country. Roll MRS. J. O. ASHBURN, Grayford, Texas. MRS. W. H.

Jenkins and Boydstun, sailed for China, October 7, 1903. In 1904 Miss Mabel Martin was accepted by the board and sailed to China where she was married to Mr. Boydstun. Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Hogan, late members of our Band are now under appointment for Japan. Several others, of our Band in past years, are filling places acceptably in the home land but are ready to go when the Foreign Board calls for them. The work of the present 3 ' ' ear has been led by Mr. Lauren E. Brubaker, who has been accepted by our Board of Missions as a Missionary to Korea. The State Student Volunteer Convention met with us this year. Object of Band Fellowship: In prayer; in soul saving; in preparation for life work; in enlisting others for more active service for the Master. Plans of Band Holding weekly meetings ; devotional and business. Reading and circulating missionary literature. Using all available means for intensifying the missionar spirit among our fellows.

Bible Study A very important phase of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is the group Bible Study. That is, a few students gathered in a convenient room in an informal meeting to discuss previously prepared portions of Scripture, throughout the schools and colleges of America this move- ment has rapidly advanced. From a small beginning it has reached the enormous total of fifty thousand. This iiicrease of Bible students has not been due to a flourishing of the movement in an institution alone but to the untiring efforts of interested workers throughout the nation. Cumberland University has not failed to keep abreast with this great onward movement. During the year thirty-five have been lined up in special courses of Bible study. This number was divided into four classes, as follows: R. L. R. Jones, leader; G. G. Harris, J. F. Odle, J. H. Wallace, C. A. Hunter, E. C. Tate, R. C. Paxton, T. R. Jacobs, and Mr. Black. G. F. Burns, leader; W. R. Seat, Joe Orr, H. H. McClanahan, H. Culbertson, D. M. Galloway, E. W. Brockman, Mr. Toller, and Joe Holmes. J. B. Harron, leader ; E. P. Conwell, F. D. Con- well, J. F. Murphy, K. Sparks, A. E. Darnell, Bibb Jacobs, and C. H. Massengill. C. V. Brown, leader; N. T. Lowry, W. D. Franks, J. H. Johnson, E. L. Stockton, J. E. Walker, R. C. Hutchisson, H. Utley, and R. W. Faulk. Excellent work has been done in each of these classes and valuable results has been the outcom ' e. We make no apology for offering these courses of Bible study to the students. Neither do we think that any one can offer a plausible excuse for not taking up one of them. The purposes of this Jible Study are : To develop a stalwart Christian character; To foster the Spiritual life; To secure the daily study of tlie Bible in a logical way; To arouse a more sympathetic and appreciative spirit among the students ; i And to implant in the student ' s mind the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ so forcibly that they will crystallize into true character. 114 Ho!

The season opened this year under auspicious circumstances, forebod- ing that Cumberland would put out a winner in baseball as well as in basketball. Although only two of last years men were on hand, the first call saw many representatives from all departments report as candidates for the m.aroon suits. Coach Clark, with his good eye for a ball player, soon picked the most promiising. This bunch with but two weeks practice tied a strong professional team in as hard fought and pretty a game as will likely be seen soon on the local diamond. Under this energetic, gentlemanly coaching and with the bold leadership of our Captain, it is safe to predict that the 1908 team will make a splendid showing.

Our basket ball team has won not a few distinctions this year, which place them in a position worthy of special praise and honor. We take pride in mentioning the capture of the Southern College Champion- ship, won once against many strong candidates and among them, our old opponent Vandy, who suffered defeat, in two fierce contests. It is to the team ' s credit that every game was won in which every regular man partic- ipated and that not a single defeat was suffered on our home floor. This five bears the distinction of being a very cosmopolitan team. All three departments of University are represented as well as each man having a different life profession. Law3-er, Preacher, Doctor, Teacher and Engineer. Also they have the singular honor in being cute , according to the designation of a co-ed. With a record such as this, and with the absence of football, the great indoor game promises increased interest each season. B. M. Mace was selected as Captain for 1908—09. f I I 123 M B ll 1 t 1 B wf flj 1 B? ;-i n 1 Ms i: P i I pB 1 ' 1 1 MACE WILLIAMS Wjnners in Doubles ' 07 Fall Tournament n Q Tennis Club President — C. R.

On October 7, 1887, Theta Chapter of Kappa Sigma was founded by Franceway C, Straitton, the present cashier of the Lebanon National Bank, with the aid of other members of Kappa Chaoter, at Vander- bilt. It has furnished to the University four professors, and to the Fraternity the highest presiding officer and an editor of its mag ' azine The Caduceus. In athletics and other phases of University life, it has ample causes to rejoice over the achievements of its sons. Kappa Sigma, as a national, ranks as the most national of fraterni- ties. It has seventy-six active chapters, (five more than any other fraternity,) fifty-two alumni chapters, and is represented in thirl_v-four states and the District of Colum.bia, (covering five more states than any other fraternity hi the United States.) 139 KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY DIRECTORY District I.

This organization was formed in order to promote the social life of some of its members who found home life rather dull and wished to rule once and awhile. Its popularity has grown until it has become necessary to raise the standard of membership. As all clubs are principally for a social purpose, so is this one. While we all have the dearest wives in the world, yet the pleasure of our club cannot be surpassed. We have one of the finest suite s of rooms in Ivcbanon, and the long evenings spent there will be the happiest memories of our college days. Just the nature of those evenings will ever be known only to the members, but we would not have you think that it was a prayermeeting. And if the proceedings of those never-to-be- forgotten night could be revealed many mysterious things would be brought to light. Only one evening in our charming quarters and any man is willing to endure the burdens of matrimony just to be a member. This accounts for our long list of candidates. And we feel sure, from the progress of many of them, that they will soon be full-fledged members. Much might be said in praise of this Club, but if it becomes more widely known we will be beseiged by applica- tions for membership and forced to do some explainining at home. But with three cheers for our dear wives we will drink deep and sing our songs of joy and long for the coming year when we shall again be in our Club rooms. 152 The members of this unapproachable set of human imitations hail from every unknown part of the globe. The fact that they are so fiery in complexion leads us to think that perhaps they came from that reputable place where it is too warm for comfort. The faculty has done wise- ly in scattering them out over town, this be- ing done to lessen the chances of spontaneous combustion; to keep the roosters from crowing too much at night, and also to keep the fire de- partment from going to the wrong place to put out the fire. The only real good these people have done the school and city is to reduce the coal bill, light our cigars, and prererve the fruit on frosty nights. L . Ei. Brubaker is chief of this fire department. His hair is so red that it is burnt off in places and there is nothing left. He preaches and waves a streak of fire right before the faces of his hearers. Harvey McClanahan is vice chief. He has made most of his ex- penses this year sleeping in orchards and gardens to keep the frost from biting the fruit. Thomas E. McSpadden was once used for a fire poker. His hair is so red that he has to have his hats lined with sheet iron; then when he blushes sometimes his hat goes up in smoke. John Bone holds a prominent position in this Club. Tradition tells us that he was belched up by a volcano in Kentucky and that he has not cooled off yet. Thomas Means was banished from Texas because the people could not tell when it was night out there. Jim Havron got yellow headed by gazing too long at a gold coin which was in the cash drawer of a bank. Miss Annie Ivogan and Miss Katherine Hooker adorn this Club with a sunlight effulgence which makes the very stars jealous and regret their existence. Welch has been offered fabulous prices to stand in tobacco stores to be used as a cigar lighter, but he refused because he thought people would get hot at him. Shatz cannot succeed in business because the insurance companies refuse to insure his houses against fire. Club Yell — Red-d-y, red-d-y, always red-d-y. Motto — L ook not upon the hair when it is red. Flower — Washburn ' s Gold Medal. I iar — It was impossible to decide which one was entitled to the office. Colors — Red, mixed with brass and green. Favorite Bird — Red headed woodpecker. There are a lot of candidates for initiation into this Club, but they are under probation and may not be received because of their fading colors. 153 of 1908 The history of the Middle Tennessee Club of 1907-8 is so important that it will soon be a text book and be taught in all public schools. Many wonderful feats of strength and deeds of wisdom have been accomplished by the various members of this club, but about the wisest thing they have ever done was to decide to come to Cumberland University. They seemed to realize that their position was an important one, that they were representing the best portion of the state, that they could not afford to let their record be lower than the past record of Old Middle Tennessee. Ever mindful of this they have made heroic efforts to succeed. In early youth they lear ned to climb from rock to rock, from hill to hill. When they, looking not unlike some varments that come from rocks or woods, came to this grand old institution, they continued to climb. But this club is made up of many different climbers. Some climb over rules and jump over things that really count; that is be- cause they are Freshmen. But let us pass on for there is nothing new, under the sun, to say about a Freshman. Now there are others. The Sopho- mores imagine that their freshness is worn off. They climb from ignorance to bliss. Then come the vain Juni ' ors, who ' climb from bliss to folly. But the Senior, alone, realizes what is to be done. He knows which direction he must go. He knows that every moment must count; so he climbs from folly to wisdom. But Middle Tennessee need not fear that this Club will bring dishonor upon her fair name. For every Club of the human family has to travel the same road, and experience alone will teach them the things that are really worth while. 154 H n H n E . i Tennessee ini HILLY BILUES Officers and Members James B.

It ' s going to be a terrible task Eor such a scrib as I But yet I ' ve never tried to shirk In scrubbing things— I ' ll try. We hail from Eastern lands We ' re Hilly-Billies true; We ' ve hearts of love; we ' re lirm as rock And always friends to you. The Club will keep an end in view, An end of priceless worth, To always keep in mind and heart The land of native birth. To give a history of each man ' Twould be outside my sphere; So in the briefest way I can I ' ll jot down points right here. Oh, land of Eastern hills I call you to the stand Witness for us in noble thought The life of every man. Will you ascribe to us The History of our men Or shall we ever ignorant be Of this our Club of ten? Oh, Club of Eastern soil I ' ll never silent be; Yours is a history Clothed in garb of mystery: Ever true, ever brave Ever kind and good and strong May your flag in wavelets wave Ere the sounding of the gong. Life is one tumultuous sea Ever raging far and wide May you o ' er the sounding lee Be safely landed with the tide. — [The Historian. 1S7 Mo£to We are it.

Only a glance at our roll will convince the most skeptical of the popularity of Cumberland University, and its world renown is the cause of this Club being here. Besides the states that are represented by our roll, the following states are represented in the University: Massachusetts, Montana, Iowa and New Mexico. These states sought admission to the Club but as the requirements for membership are so hard the above named states have not thus far qualified. But we feel sure that with the proper coaching they will soon gain admission. The social features of this Club far surpass anything that has been given in the town during the whole year. The elaborate banquets that are given once a month have never been equaled in the history of I ebanon. For the description of these you will need only to turn to the Social Calendar. The elections of the members to this Club is the most exciting time of the whole yeai-, especially ' when the m.ember is to be selected from a state having several representatives. But thus far we have suc- ceeded in holding these elections without loss of life. Vv ' e might speak at length upon the superior qualities and attainments of thia Club, but feel it unnecessary as the Club speaks for itself. With the passing of this Club the glory of such organizations, and preferred social enjoyment passes from I ebanon. 153 , K-O -White C.Ste ' ar t 0.B.Sertrbety OPOLITAN c. Flower: Forget-Me-Not.

It has there- fore done service for five school years. Each succeeding year has added to the success of the institution and to the hap- piness and accommodation of its inmates. This year 75 people have made their homes in the Dormitor3 In other words its capacity has been taxed all year. Prof. Waterhouse has had full charge with Mrs. Minnie G. Welch as matron and mother-in-chief. Under their effi- cient control the institution is closing its most successful year. It would be unjust to fail to mention the many kind and thoughtful acts of Mrs. Waterhouse, Mrs. White and Miss Earle ane the happy, cheerful inspiration of Little Sue. Without these four life would not be nearly so homelike and pleasant. 162 Prof. J. S. Waterhouse, Manager Dormitory Mrs. Minnie G. Welch, Matron Dormitory ; v? ew- m W Staff ' 07 E. P. CONWELL, J. F.
