 ■• « ?5 r ® © OKe PHOENIX 1915 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY LEBANOM, TENNESSEE BENSON PR I NTI NG COM PANY N ASHVILLC FOREWORD HIS strange, mythological name may arouse wonder in those unmitiated — and rightly so. May this volume be the worthy recipient of this symbolic name, is our ardent desire. Legend says the phoenix — an immortal bird, feathered with red and gold, yet resembling an eagle — after soaring as it listeth for five hundred years, is burned to ashes on the altar of the temple at Heliopolis. Shortly a birdling arises from these ashes, and behold! on the third day, fully feathered, it flies away. In 1863 an alumnus, while contemplating the charred heaps of what had been Cumber- land University, wrote on the base of a pillar fallen among the ashes, Resurgam. Just as a Phoenix Cumberland has risen from the ashes — whence the significance of our motto, E cine- ribus resurgo. A word of heartfelt thanks to our kind contributors and trusty advisers. They have won- derfully aided our endeavors to make this edition a true memento of the unique history ot our Alma Mater and yet to give an impartial portrayal of student life. Your approval, dear reader, marks our purpose a success. View mildly its faults, our inability, not our mtent, they show; with sight only for the best, — lightly pass on.

HoLiFiELD President Grace Holden Vice-President Eunice Hill Secretary and Treasurer Grace Holden .... Phoenix Representative THE class 1916 was organized in October, 1914. Our class roll consists of fourteen names: six of which belong to ministerial students, five to co-eds, and the rest to Kenneth, Robin, and C. C. Perhaps before we receive per- mission to sign A.B. after our signatures, we shall have a number of recruits from the Sophomore Class. In the same month of October one of our class was taken from us. Now we see through a glass darkly and fail to understand why his life was cut short in its most promising period. But he did not live in vain, for he left the imprint of his noble character on each of us. We have had varied success in our inter-class contests, having rather disastrous experiences in inter-class basketball, yet our most notable achievement was the winning of the inter-class debate — represented by T.

Colvert Phoenix Representative Class History THIS history is written only for the benefit of those unacquainted with Cumberland. Those knowing Cumberland University have unavoidably learned of the enviable record of the Sophomore Class. Eighteen out of twenty-four members entered the University last year as Freshmen and successfully met and solved all problems confrontmg the Freshman. The Sophomore Class of this year is the best enjoyed by Cumberland for many years. We have successful represent- atives in every organization in the University. Some of the best players on the basketball, football and baseball teams are Sophomores. Our team won the interclass basketball championship, and we also won the interclass debates — almost. With such a record behind us, we may safely prophesy a great future for our class. Page trven ' y-three m. !: ;UNIVERSIT THE w-- ,.. pn OEINIa 1 V Class Directory Bessie Rae Barbee Hernando. Miss.

Page in entv-four f theDMOEINII ■1 (Jur-gSjl iBl UNIVERSITV The Grand Finale (As It was told by ihe author to a Freshman). T last! Freshman, the whole world was seated at my feet; a look of happy anticipation on millions of faces, each countenance wearing a look of eager expectation. It seemed to me moments before Sousa ' s Symphony Orchestra rounded out the last strains of The Bridal March, Lohengrin, that thousands of arms were out- stretched before me, impatiently beckoning me to the speaker ' s stand. There I sat behind a barricade of lilies and ferns ; overhead blue and white flowers and evergreens seemed to wave in the morning sun. As I arose and stepped to the rostrum I reached my hand toward my trousers ' pocket, pretending to clear my long black gown out of my way, I found that I had lost my manuscript in the preliminaries. A swoon came over me, and a dizziness almost made me collapse, and I felt that four cars as an Academ had come to naught. Suddenly I felt the muscles in my arm contract; then my whole body got tense, and then as 1 felt my heart sink back to its normal beat, I knew that my will power had overcome the apparent weakness. I stepped to the edge of the platform and began my discourse in a calm, but steady, tone. After each sentence I noticed that the faces which in the beginning seemed so eager to hear my oration appeared to relax slightly. As I neared the middle of my oration there was a din of confusion thruout the audience, which after another moment turned into panic. People were running to the edge of the audience; others were breaking through the middle tier of the crowd. Without any warning to me, a deafening clap of thunder almost shook me off my bearings, and, at that, the audience seemed to scatter in every direction. The barricade of flowers in front had faded, and the firmament overhead had changed into a blackening cloud. The storm raged. The wind in its terrific gusts almost hurled me off my feet. The platform seemed to be rocking to and fro, while the screams from the audience that followed each peal of thunder staggered me. I did not have nerve enough to look down toward my hearers, for fear that I should fall headlong from the rostrum. The thunder continued, louder and louder, and as the vWnd blew swifter I knew I must be falling. CRASH ! CRASH!! The second charge of lightning struck the platform and When I awoke I was temporarily paralyzed on one side, I could not speak for several minutes. I glanced around to take my bearings, first looking up to see if the platform remained. I only saw on my bedroom wall, hung high toward the ceiling, a large block C on a background of maroon. I felt my head to be sure I was myself. I could not locate my right eye for a large lump on my forehead. (Continued on Page 150).

Grannis, a noted educator; but not until 1913 was a full four-year course offered. The new system opened under the able leadership of Prof. C. Ross Endsley, who resigned; but for the last year Prof. Thomas M. Wilson has been at the steering wheel, and things are going in great shape. If you are looking for a place to put your boys and girls send them to Cumberland University for preparatory work.

To our teachers, in whom we were all well pleased, for they strove against many odds to give to us something that will be of countless good in future life, if it be trained. As a faculty they were unsurpassed, and few equal it. Though they will never all be together again in the capacity as that of the past year, we hope that they, by the help of the grace of God, may as indi- viduals go out into the world more competent to give to others their first step in life ' s work, just as we have been taught. I have not the space to take each instructor up and give to the reader a knowledge of their character separately ; but rest assured that they are a great and noble group of men. As to my fellow-students, from whom I gathered many warm friends and no enemies, that I am conscious of, they were as a whole an obedient student body. They did great work for the past year, reflecting great credit upon their instructors; and though they may — the students and teachers — wander to all parts of the globe, we earnestly hope they realize all the while that it is their duty to try to reflect credit on one of the grandest institutions that ever was erec.ed by the help of God. We hope that as many as possible of our fellow-students may be back at Cumberland the coming year. Now as I close, with my heart full of love for one and all, I ask that God bestow upon each one of you His richest blessings. James T. McSpaDDEN.

Judge Nathan Green 7 o f w Mosi Gracious Majestv, Nathan Green II. — King of Law Teachers, Prince of Gentlemen, Earl of Blackacre, Dul(e of Strongbox — Greetings: HEREAS, we, the Seniors of 1915, desire to record in durable form a token of our love and admiration, we do therefore unite in the following message, which we know you will be graciously pleased to receive in the spirit in which it is tendered. Preceding classes have expressed sincere admiration of your ability as a great teacher of law. They have commented upon the inimitable faculty which you possess, which enables you to present abstruse legal problems to immature minds in such form and manner as is readily apprehended and remembered. Classes, coming and going with the marching years, have marveled as your knowledge, conveyed to them by means of simple illustrations, made logic to shine through the interwoven tangle of technical terms. Therefore, we, the Seniors of 1915, endorsing with added emphasis all that has been so often uttered in your praise as the greatest of teachers, desire further to pay tribute to the inspiration and aid which you have brought to us in paths aside from the specific study of law. Wisdom is a union of knowledge and love. These t vo attributes are shown forth in your life. We feel that our daily contact with you, and the strong and gracious influence of your character, has been of more enduring benefit than the law which you have so patiently taught us. The true and only accurate test of greatness is measured by the living of a life. We have applied this most rigid test to YOUR life, and find that at every point our love and admiration are amply justified. You are the only living man of whom we have never heard spoken an unkind word. This is a tribute as beautiful as it is unique. Your kindliness and dignity endear you to all. In you, dear sir, we feel that we behold that greatest product of this great country, a gallant Southern gentleman. our strong adherence to and reverence for the faith of your fathers has deeply impressed us all. We feel that your dearest wish for each of your boys is that he shall follow your example and entrust his cause to The Great Advocate above, who has never lost a case committed to his care. Now, regretfully, we say farewell. May Nathan Green III., in days to come, attain to that excellency of wisdom and beauty of character which you have so long manifested, and may he continue to shed honor upon the name of Nathan Green and prove to be, as you have been, a blessing and inspiration to his fellow men. So mote it be ! We are. Dear Sir, affectionately yours, THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1915. Page thirt )-six theP]-ioe:ni: 1 e 1 v3 V UNIVERSITY Dr. Andrew B. Martin HARACTER, it is said, is what a maif is moiaily ; reputation is what he is reputed to be. Similarly, we might say that personality is what a man appears to be, while individuallly is the man himself — a characteristic of the indwelling ego, back of the physical manifestation. Even as unenlightened and ignorant Juniors, we were profoundly and pleasantly impressed by the dy- namic personality of that genial philosopher, able jurist and humorist, Dr. Andrew B. Martin. Dr. Martin it was who took us — as he so delicately expressed it — fresh from the cotton rows and cornfields, from the companionship of the flea- bitten mule and heavy plow, and welcomed us, as we emerged from the tall and uncut, into the culture and dignity of this thriving university town. Then, in a way peculiarly and felicitously his own, he proceeded to induct us into the mystic mazes of that body of occult and abstruse learning, known as The History of a Lawsuit. The good Doctor admits that his duty is to kuock off the rough edges and polish the finished product. We came under his care and instruction when we first began to realize the boundless extent and real difficulty of that abstruse science, the law, which we had so light-heartedly approached. Dr. Martin possesses a perfect knowledge of student nature and an adequate comprehension of crowd-psychology. By virtue of his incomparable gift of humor, he sustained interest that might otherwise have flagged, before the real interest and beauty of the study on which we had engaged had dawned upon our bewildered minds. In our early days, as benighted Juniors, when law seemed an inextricable maze of arbitrary rules, and the underlying reasons were unknown, we might have become discouraged had it not been for the Doctor ' s inimitable faculty of imparting dry detail in an interesting manner. When the mule was stolen, and it behooved us to ponder upon the legal consequences flowing from the theft, we might have failed to listen with interest and apply the point of law involved had the Doctor not confided to us that it was Brother Cheatham who stole the mule. Ah! Then we rejoiced in the moral obliquity of our fellow classmate and drank in the sordid details with greedy zest. When the tender, star-eyed maid was led to confide in the honeyed words of her skilled and experienced charmer, and was cruelly deceived, we were at first indifferent to her woe. But when the D5ctor softly confided to us that it was Wil- kerson, the smooth-tongued, unprincipled Wilkerson, who caused the maiden ' s plight, we followed with breathless attention the devious technicalities of that breach of promise suit!

The following is one of the several pro- grams given during this year with splendid success, both at home and abroad. The quartet has been in demand on many occasions and wins greater distinction at each appearance. It has been the happy recipient of many social attentions.

With excellent environment at home and school, she conlmued her work faithfully for several years under com- petent teachers. After studying harmony and history of music for two years she obtained a certificate from the New Market Training School. Since Miss Orman entered Cumberland in 1912 she has been a conscientious and appreciative student under the direction and instruction of Prof. Gise. She has realized the highest values and greatest possibilities of music as an art. Her attainments in technique and expression are indeed marked, and her knowledge of harmony and history is thorough, having devoted much time and thought to the latter courses in her graduate year. A graduate recital in piano marks the crowning point of all her successful work. E. L. Stockton in Recital The height of artistic attainment in point of program and setting was reached in the recital given on March 15, 1915, at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Mitchel, when Prof. Gise presented Ernest Looney Stockton, tenor. His splendid singing of an entire program won for him the admiration and enthusiastic approval of all those privileged to hear him. Though young in the work, his superior attainments m tone work and in original interpretation attest the merit accorded his instruction. Page sixty-eight n.. e: TMEpnOEINIX c r-.

During ihat time she has built up the Violin Department until it has become one of the most prominent m the Conservatory. After studying in Nashville, Tennessee, vi ith the best teachers, Mrs. Burke was in the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and studied with Mr. Tirin- delli. Later she went to New York, and for two years attended the Institute of Musical Art, the foremost music school of America. While there she had as teacher Mr. Louis Svescenshi, a member of the famous Kneisel Quartette. She IS now leader and director of the University Orchestid, an important factor in the musical life of the University. This organization has won for itself a popular place in the adjoin- ing towns as well as in Lebanon. Miss Margaret M.

As a result of his efforts the course in -yXrV gl Home Economics was added to the curriculum of the University, under the supervision of Miss Anna A. Weigel, a graduate of the University of Tennessee. It is fortunate that Cumberland has such a leader in the organization of this department, for Miss Weigel has had the sound scientific training and knowledge which enables her to introduce such a course and to meet with all the requirements. Three of the most suitable and convenient rooms on the second floor of Memorial Hall have been well equipped for efficient work in both Domestic Science and Domestic Art. The Domestic Art Department occupies one room equipped with tables, machines and other necessary articles, the other two rooms are occupied by the Domestic Science Department. Each girl has a desk equipped with a gas hot-plate and all the necessary utensils for the preparation of the various dishes. The course offered by the Department of Home Economics is designed for girls who wish to teach or do practical work in cookery, sewing or household art, or to open the way for the specialization in the study of problems of household economics. The primary course in art consists chiefly in hand sewing, fitting, and the study of cotton materials. The advanced class, in addition to this, takes a course in pattern drafting, dressmaking, fitting, and the study of textiles. The first year students of the Science class study the value and composition of foods, also combination and cooking of the food nutrients; while the Senior class is doing advanced work in cookery, chemistry of foods, cooking for the sick and convales- cent, as well as work in entertaining. Some of the most enjoyable features of the work for the first year have been the banquet prepared for over a hun- dred guests given by the Lebanon Public School, the five-course luncheon served to the married members of the faculty and their wives, while to the less fortunate — or shall we say more fortunate? — unmarried members was served an elegant breakfast. Since its organization this department has been a live wire in the institution. The interest of the students in home economics has been constant and lively, while the Board of Trustees, Faculty and friends of the University have united in encouraging the development of Domestic Arts and Sciences. The Senior class in Domestic Science feel it an honor to be permitted to give the cup offered to the winners in track athletics.

Chenoweth, a graduate of the Vanderbilt School of Expression, Cum- berland University has included this important branch of Public Speaking and Expression in its curriculum. The year 1914-15 witnesses the first attempt to put this department in the University, and it has met with marked success. For several years the board of the University have looked about and attempted to arrange for this course, especially to be taken together with its unparalleled course of Law, but for various reasons the introduction of the course was delayed. The record for the first year has shown that the student body has looked on the new course as one most advantageous, for soon after the announcement of its commencement twenty-five students enlisted with Miss Chenoweth. Under her instruction many of them have announced themselves as candidates for oratorical honors both in college and State affairs. Especial attention was paid to the intercollegiate debating and oratorical contests, and as a result the indications are that laurels in these great contests will be brought to Cumberland by the representatives, who, under. Miss Chenoweth ' s instruction, have proven themselves highly efficient to meet any and all orators and debaters from other colleges of the South. Great progress m expression has been evidenced through the work of the Dramatic Club. The course will be expanded as each year passes, and from now on will be included and pointed to with great pride by the heads of the University. Members UNIVERSITY L. D.

The editorial staff is composed of an editor- in-chief, associate editor, managing editor, business manager and assistant business manager, a representative from each department of the University and the various college activities. Although the Cumberland Weekly was started a little late this year, it has been published regularly during the last two terms of school. The special attractions of the spring editions were the enlarged editions and the edition published by the co-eds. The Weekly is an interesting and important factor in the student life. It is one of the things that gives life to the school. It deals with those things which are of interest to the students. As it represents all departments of the University, it brings news from from the activities of each department and draws the students closer together. - ' May the Weekly continue to grow in its influence for good and its ability to make student life more pleasant; and may it continue to have the liberal support of the student body.

V j stx sn ?  i J UNIVERSITY ' The University Club By Robert Paul Gise, Secretary N Thursday afternoon, October 16, 1913, twenty-two prospective members honored the call of the projectors of the University Club and met at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. I. D. Hinds for the purpose of considering plans and possibilities of club work. First, a report of the organization of the Critical Club, which was founded in 1872, was heard. Judge Beard, Judge Green, Dr. Martin and Dr. Hinds gave pleasing observa- tions and reminiscences of that organization and made valuable suggestions concerning the work of the new club. In business session it was decided that the organization should be called The University Club, and that the meetings should be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Miss Earle, Prof. Hill and Prof. Kimbrough were appointed a committee, with Dr. Hinds as chairman, to formulate plans for the organization with instruction to report at the next meeting. Thus began the club, which has for its object intellectual improvement, sociability and recreation. With a membership including the faculty of the various departments of the University and their wives, the trustees and their wives, the public school teachers, the ministers and their wives, and such other persons as the club may elect, the intel- lectual uplift of the meetings has been marked. Music by some member or friend of the club is a part of every program, and the discussion of the presentation of the principal papers of the meetings and the fun and fancy indulged in for a period make each meeting a new delight and bring the members into a fellowship that proves both broadening and pleasant. A notable feature of the first year ' s work was the open meeting held in the Presbyterian Church on December 1 8, when Mr. B. L. Rice, of Nashville, read Dickens ' Christmas Carol. It is the club plan to have one or more open meetings during each year. The club began its second year on October 18, 1914, with Dr. Coile as President and Mrs. Hill as Vice-President ; and through the efforts of the Program Committee, consisting of Prof. Hill and Mrs. Burke, the club has had many notable papers on various subjects. Early in the year a paper on Sanitation by Prof. Drane aroused such enthusiastic interest among the members that an expression of the club ' s views on the subject and its importance to the City of Lebanon was sent to the Board of Commissioners. During the year much interest has been maniiested in the study of the religious ideals of the classic poets. Several valuable papers have been presented along this line.

A constitution was prepared for its government, and the name Student Body Organization was chosen; while the object was stated as the care of all matters pertaining to the students which are not looked after by other organizations. It was decided that the officers of this body, the presidents of the various classes and one representative from the Preparatory Department should constitute a Student Body Council. This Council first considers and passes on all matters pertaining to the welfare of the organization. This Council also acts as a permanent nominating committee, all their nominations being approved or disapproved by the stu- dents of the University. The Council has proven itself very useful by taking up matters in a systematic, orderly way. Page eighty-three Nd r UNIVERSITY J .w ™pnoE:Nix n Amasagassean Literary Society Organized in 1847.

There are two and a half scholastic [nonths before us yet, and the best work of the year is still anticipated. We shall resign our manifold activities only when the balmy breezes of June warn us the scholastic year is at a close, and the time at hand to forsake the corridors of old Caruthers Hall and scatter to our respective homes. While our legal diplomas will be clutched in our right hands, our lefts will firmly close down upon, those valuable pieces of parchment, written mostly in Latin (which is, of course, as familiar to us as the mother tongue), that coafers upon us the title of Bachelor of Forensics. When we reach our native hills and surprise our friends and families wth Page eighly-sevcn ' Zi UNIVERSIT THEOnOElNlX aiai ' . tSR the production of these formidable certificates, with what awe and respect will they gaze upon its undecipherable phrases ! He must, indeed, have learning and be gifted with the moving arts of Demosthenes and Cicero who possesses such a redoubtable diploma. But we expect to wear the honors lightly and proceed with caution to unburden ourselves of the oratorical fires burning m our bosoms. The countenances of our members, except those who graduated in January of this year, will be observed upon the opposite page. We present this group picture without apology. None is needed. Far better that we should accustom the public to gazing upon our features at this moment than wait until they are suddenly printed all over the country as famous advocates, leadmg statesmen, great men of affairs, authors and teachers of law. And let them not forget, when that auspicious day arrives, that the training received in the Philomathean Society and the diplomas issued on completion of the course are responsible, in a large degree, for the exalted positions attained. The society numbers more than seventy active members at the moment of writing, and it is stated without fear of successful contradiction that it is one of the greatest university forums in the United States. Great orators and pleaders that have graced its programs in past years will be equalled, if not surpassed, by the talent and brains of 1915. A little incident occurred during the present term which is perhaps worthy of record. An amendment was introduced which provided, in part, for the payment of a fine of one dollar for failure to render the work assigned. This amendment was the bone of contention during two lengthy meetings and evoked some of the most heated and brilliant advocacies and denunciations ever heard within the four walls of the assembly room. The authors of the measure were as determined to pass it as Napoleon to conquer Europe, but its opponents were as courageous in their convictions as Demosthenes in his Phillippics. It was an illustration of the irresistible object hitting the immovable wall. But the result of the collision was not disruption, but unity, and the defeat of the amendment, soldified the cords of friendship and mutual respect knitting the members together. The fact that our members regard a dollar as one hundred cents was clearly shown, and the wreath of laurel which crowns the he ad of the fair lady on the dollar, a token of Liberty and Justice, was not replaced by a circlet of thorns, signifying oppression — or, at any rate, this measure of doubtful expediency and practicality was decisively rejected. It may be said with perfect candor that such a penalty is unnecessary to urge the members of this society to a fulfilment of their duty. The latest ceremonies of inauguratoin, and the most important of the year, took place at a recent meeting. Mr. Corbell of Arkansas was inducted to the Presidential chair, Mr. Berkholder of Texas assumed the Secretarial duties, and Mr. Marshall of Texas received the office of Parliamentarian. These three gentlemen will adorn our diplomas with their (Continued on Page 149). Page eighth-eight f TMEonoENix 1 f urt l NiTl  w UNIVERSITV The Lex Debating Society f HERE is an old adage which runs: Blessed is that country which has no history. It seems logical that ' 7 ' ' the same doctrine might apply to literary societies, and if such be true the Lex deserves some blessings. During the debate in Congress of the . Canadian reciprocity bill two friends were discussing whether or not larger glasses of beer would be served should the bill pass. As they were unable to agree, they decided to call their (riends together and have a round table review of the subject in Caruthers Hall. Thus the Lex had its origin, and from that day to this has flourished. In keeping with the intention of the organizers, many important matters have been analyzed in impromptu during this year, and the society is on the other extreme as compared with Hannibal of old when he cried: Oh, Carthage, where is thy doom? The following named gentlemen have served as Presidents this year, each serving for six weeks: George A. Totten, North Dakota; William A. Anderson, Alabama; A. B. Olsen, North Dakota; Mark H. Webb, Massachusetts; Fred D. Crane, Idaho, and Harley F. Gilmore, Alabama. A great deal of territory has been covered in the discussions and much good accomplished. President Wilson has been shown that he has adopted precisely the correct attitude toward the Mexican affairs, and that even if he should err in the discharge of his executive duties this society, with very few exceptions, is backing him fairly, clearly and without much bias. The members have also settled beyond a reasonable doubt that the United States is to assume the commercial su- premacy of the world as a result of the great conflict now raging in the East. There has been demonstrated by a preponderance of proof that we as a nation should proceed with the great Expo- sition in San Francisco in commemoration of the completion of the Panama Canal rather than wait and see what the fu- ture unfolds. The young lawyers have had instilled into them that they should have due regards to existing circumstances when deciding whether to locate in a small or a large town, and that they should follow the dictates of reason after subjecting the matter to a substantia! survey. Whether or not a man should specialize early in life has been discussed from every viewpoint, and it has been clearly evident that the question really has two sides, either of which is worthy of careful consideration. In the face of the important mission of a society founded for the purpose of giving experience in extemporaneous (Continued on Page 91).

We are now looking forward with anxiety to Commencement, when many of us shall for the first and probably the last time in life see our full names in print. Roster of Members Anderson, William A.

Its duties are to have full charge and control of all debates and orations, whether local or intercollegiate, that occur m Cumberland. It is composed of two members from the Academic Department and three members from the Law De- partment, with the Professor of English, a member, in the capacity of adviser. The Council is organized into a unit by having elected within itself a President, a Vice-President and a Secretary-Treasurer. It sets the dates and makes the rules for all appearances of speakers from among the students in interdepartmental contests. If there should be any expense attached to the contest it is the business of the Council to devise means and ways to meet this. It selects the judges and pays their expenses, if they should have any. It also limits the time of each speaker and makes all other rules that may be necessary for the harmonious appearance of speakers. Under its inspiration and guidance public speaking has taken on much new vigor during the last half of this year. The Council has done much hard work to arrange for its two intercollegiate debates — one with the Southwestern Presby- terian University at Clarksville and that of the State Intercollegiate Debating Association, which meets this year at Union University, Jackson — and the Peace Oratorical Contest which is to be held at Vanderbilt University in May. In addition to the above appearances, it has induced the faculty to offer a faculty prize for the best orator in the University. The prize will be twenty-five dollars in gold, awarded on merit to the man who is to represent Cumberland University in the peace prize contest at Vanderbilt. Further, the Council tried to get the Hon. W. J. Bryan to establish a perennial peace prize at Cumberland, but so far nothing has come of the matter. It is hoped, however, that in this the Council will be successful. Elsewhere appears the picture, with the office of each given, of the Council. The Council has brought to its work all the seriousness and determined purpose for the best results that it possessed, and since its existence has been so short, the work it has done has been monumental and comparatively successful. Next year, when the Council will return at the beginning of the year fully organized and cognizant of its duties and obstacles, it will do far more toward the glory and upbuilding of Cumberland than it has been able to accomplish this short half year of its life. DEBATES 1915 The date of the intercollegiate debate with Southwestern Presbyterian University has been set for May 15, to be held in Lebanon. Unfortunately this is too late for announcement in the Phoenix. It is expected that this will be an an- nual affair. Page ninety-lhree ™p MO EN IX 1-3 1 , v5 UNIVERSITY The University team to meet S. P. U. has been selected by a series of ehmination contests. In the Law Department the literary societies are contesting for this honor; in the Academic Department representatives of the four classes have met in interclass debates. The class debaters were: Senior, C. E. Hollister, P. L. HoUister and L. T. Goff; Junior, Ted P. Holifield, J. H. Cowan and D. C. Johnson; Sophomore, J. E. Beck, W. K. Eubank and Alexander Johnsonius; Fresh- man, J. W. Estes, G. E. Allen and Charles Price. Of these, Holifield, Allen, and Estes were the three highest ranking men, and accordingly met the Law Department team April 1 5. The Law Department debaters were: L. M. Walker, J. S. Bracewell and Andrew Dillworth. As a result of this interdepartmental contest, Ted P. Holifield and Andrew Dillworth were selected to debate S. P. U. on May 15, with J. S. Bracewell as alternate.

UNIVERSITY C Contests N Monday night, April 2, the preliminary oratorical contest among the representatives of the Law School was held at the Baptist Church. The contestants were Messrs. Cooper, Kilgore, King, Lipscomb and Wright. The orations were all well written and well delivered and showed that the young men had spent much time and labor m their preparation. According to the decision of the judges, Mr. Kilgore was the winner of the contest, with Mr. King coming second. These two law students will represent their department m the interdepartmental contest with representatives of the Literary Department April 1 6. The winner in this contest will represent Cumberland University in the Tennessee Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest, which will be held in Jackson, Tenn., on May 21. A few weeks ago Mr. Walter Lee Sherfey, President of the Public Speaking Council of Cumberland University, re- ceived a letter from the State Peace Oratorical Association inviting Cumberland to become a member of that association. The invitation was accepted, and as an extra inducement the college faculty offered a prize of twenty-five dollars to the winner in the local contest. This inducement added to the honor of winning proved effective. Seven of the students entered the contest. This contest took place at the Baptist Church Tuesday evening, April 6, at 7:30 o ' clock. Special music for the occasion was furnished by the University Orchestra. Each of the speakers handled his subject like a professional orator. The hope of universal peace was held out in a very striking manner. The judges decided in favor of Mr. R. E. Heizer, and Prof. Drane presented to him the faculty prize of twenty-five dollars in gold. Mr. Heizer will represent Cumberland in the State Perxe Oratorical Contest to be held at Vanderbilt University April 1 6. The winner there will represent Tennessee in a group, and the winner at the group contest ' ill go to Lake Mohonk late in the spring. Mr. Heizer is to be congratulated upon his success here, and with the speech that he delivered last evening, he is expected to go to Lake Mohonk. As a result of the interdepartmental oratorical contest Mr. Frank King of the Law Department was selected to represent Cumberland University in the State Oratorical Contest at Jackson, Tenn., on the 21st of May. The four inter- departmental contestants and their subjects were as follows: J. W. Estes, Militarism and Arbitration ; Frank King, The Ideal State ; R. B. Kilgore, John Hays and the New China ; G. E. Allen, Initiative and Referendum. Page ninei -fivc m.. C ' f%, . ■THEpnoEiNix Page nmclp-six THE  OENIX 1 .v5. . y .trtia Kmiji i I NIVERSITV J Y. M. C. A.

HE Young Men ' s Christian Association of Cumberland University was first organized in 1856, the first college association ever formed, with Gen. A. P. Stewart as President. This association was firmly estab- lished as a leading factor m the University in 1 88 1 . It is the purpose of the Young Men ' s Christian Association to strengthen the spiritual life of the Univer- sity, to unite the students, to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship, to help young men make definite de- cisions. If a man is lost m the woods the most important question is, Am I faced right? Am I moving straight ahead and not merely circling around and around? It is necessary that a student have some end in view. You cannot read everything, or buy everything, or enjoy everything, or see everything. You may, if you choose, make the vain attempt, but you only circle around until the best years of life are gone, and you are in a short span of time right back where you started. Every true-hearted young man wants to build up in himself a noble and worthy manhood. The Young Men ' s Christian Association stands for things that build worthy and noble manhood. It should be the purpose of every young man in the University to be a member of this organization. There are questions which must be answered, yes or no, not with the lips, but by the life. These are the questions to which the answers are marked out not in Chemistry, or Mathematics, or on the athletic fields, but men are brought face to face with God, and taught to feel a sense of fellowship with Him who is the source of all strength. There is no better organization for a young man to unite with in college that will help him to solve these problems better than that of the Young Men ' s Christian Association. The work during 1914-1915 has been very interesting. All our meetings have been inspiring and helpful. We have had with us such men as Dr. Weatherford, Mr. Legate and Prof. Trawick and others, who have accomplished great good while among us. Through the never-tiring efforts of our late President, Mr. Leonard N. Albright, the students were made to feel that the Association was for them and that they had a place in it where they might labor. We have had a number of students in Bible study, and have just started what promises to be the most interesting mission study class in the history of the Association, with Prof. H. A. Hill as leader. The work for 1915-1916, with guidance of our able President, Mr. Weaver K. Eubank, and his assistants, prom- ises to be a record breaker. Cabinet meetings are held every week, a thing almost unknown before in this Association, — strong and efficient speakers have been secured. In truth, the work as a whole is better organized than ever before. Page mnet )-eight tmePMOEINIX cOrt l ND eJUNlVERSIT The Alumni Association Officers Nathan Green, LL.D.. 45, Lebanon.

Now, having arrived to the estate of Seniors, with our enhanced knowledge, we are able to pierce below the remark- able personality of Dr. Martin and perceive the individuality of Martin, the Man. As once the radiating geniality and ready wit of his personality won our hearts, we see the strength of his individuality and are filled with respect. We feel that Andrew B. Martin has done much for his town, his state and his country. He has implanted in thou- sands of student hearts the desire and determination to become an honor to the name he bears, a blessmg to his fellow men, and an inspiration to all who come in contact with him. When old Caruthers Hall, wherein Dr. Martin has labored so valiantly, is leveled with dust, the memory of this great man will remain, will grow brighter with passing years — for The path of the just is as the shining light, which shineth more and more, unto the perfect day.

W. C. A. in the college assumes an important place, becoming a movement through the complex life of the college, and a part of the great movement of Chris- tian students through its intercollegiate relationship to the colleges and universities of the world. Today through the halls of our colleges and universities there surges an increasing throng of eager young women bent upon securing the best from the wisdom of the centuries, and the chief purpose of the Y. W. C. A. in college is to help develop their Christian character. The absolute need of worship during our college life is recognized by all, fellowship is craved with others of like purposes and high ideals, help and guidance and inspiration is needed, and it is through the regular services, and through the consecrated efforts that the Young Women ' s Christian Association seeks to deepen the sense of reverence, and to arouse a direct passion for service, and to infuse with fresh motive the daily way of life. Miss Holden and her well-chosen corps of officers are planning to make the year 1915-1916 the very best year that the Y. W. C. A. has ever known.

This record, although at first appearance not re- markable, yet, when the fact is considered that three of the strongest teams in the South were met by our team during the season, is, to say the least, not discouraging. Prospects for the coming season are brighter. Sixteen men were awarded the highest honor in the gift Dormitory dining hall on December 15, 1914. Merc Burns, the big, dependable center, was the first name called by President Cowan, of the Athletic Asso- ciation, and Manager Hollister delivered the C to Miss Charlene Miller, Senior Class President, who pinned it on the coat of each man as his name was read out. Burns played a consistent game and was mentioned for All-South- ern team by one writer. L. H. West developed splendid form the latter part of the season, and earned his letter. M. S. McGregor, the tall Kentuckian, was a mainstay in times of trouble, and the C was a just reward of his work. H. C. Conatser, Connie, was never down in the mouth when the game went against us. His Come on, gang of the Athletic Association at the football banquet held in the helped to put life in the team many times when it saw red. W. T. Hardison, Watt, was always there, and made his end plunges felt by the opposition. He was never a neutral either in spirit or action. J. J. Douglas, Doug, subbing at quarter, came to be depended on for steady work, and, despite his light weight, was big in grit and sand. He played all he had in the game. Tom Stevens, Steve, though never a stellar smasher, was always dependable, and his share of the glory was great. Carl Johnsen wears the C over a heart that is brave to its last beat. His line bucks saved the game many times. He was a whirlwind in anger at times, smashing all be- fore him.

Luna, Tick, the graceful — even on a football field witfi grimy uniform — quarterback, evolved the plays that won for us, and often went back to confer with Captain Merc. Nothing short of sudden death seemed able to daunt him. W. E. Rabb, part-time quarter, is as speedy as any and probably more gritty than any of the C. U. team. He never lost his head nor was called for offside or foulmg. R.. E. Walker, big, brawny and a hard man to stop, put ail his two hundred heft in the games he played. A German 42-centimeter he was, and smashed the forts of opposition like sand. S. H. Stevenson, the best built man on the team, was always in the game for blood and scores. He got his share. W. J. Rogers, next year ' s Captain, played his half in superb manner, and was one of the most all-round popular men on the team. J. H. Cowan, Windy, has not a white feather in him, and never knows when he is whipped. He is all light, and his game was good, very good. Coach Turner, Peck, helped wonderfully make the team what it was, and to him goes as much credit as to any player who won his C. He is likeable and earnest. His language on the gridiron was the kind for the purpose, and the men liked him not only as coach, but also as a man. Paul HoUister is the only known man who can be in two places at one and the same time. Paul ' s work s ' as hard, and none save those who know can feel how much he appreciates his C — small re ward for the team ' s hard- est job.

It numbered among its opponents some of the best teams in the South. Probably the Vanderbilt team was the heaviest it met, but not the fastest. At the end of the season Coach Williams recommended that nine men be given the highest honor in the gift of the University — the letter C. Eight were voted this honor. Big Merc Burns at center probably had no superior in the South when he let out his speed and tossing powers. His goal shooting was almost uncanny in its certainty. In one game he threw nine field goals and six fouls out of Cum- berland ' s twenty-four points. Luna came a close second to Burns, when he was not covered by some big guard. His forward work was never slow, and probably no man in the game today is his superior at dodging guard. Across from Luna worked Blondie Coile. He is speedy and can be depended on to make his point if it can be made. Wilson Collins puts as much of himself into basketball as he does into baseball. He is speedy, cool and not afraid to go after the ball under the other man. Peck Turner at guard was a hard man to make goals over, as many of his opponents found to their sorrow. He was the hardest plunger on the team, losing a game to him was always hard, and he fought to hold back each point. Stephenson, sub forward and guard. His work was fast and consistent when he got into the game with all his heart.

His unfailing good humor helped to hold the team to its best. Andrews, sub forward, showed much promise. He is speedy, level-headed, and later will make one of the best forwards to be found. Broyles, sub guard, the smallest man on the team, was not for that reason the slowest. He probably had as much speed or more than any of the nine. The whole team was cheerful. There was not a grouch on the team, and the esprit de corps was the best. Each tried to make the strength of the others stronger, and, if there were weaknesses, to hide them, or cover them in the general good points of the whole.

Unfearing, yea, grim smiling oft, He tamed and taught that lawless crew; With harsh command, or accent soft, He quelled the many, soothed the few. I haste to give to Bales The glory due her name; The record-breaking Center Bates ! Her name comes first in page of fame. The Team-Feminine Then Ragland, with the string of goals she got. Comes next on honor ' s page; The Tracy City bears she feared not, Though armed with claws and wild with rage. She piled the score until it soared To twenty-eight lo nine. Oh, how they roared! For pain, the bears; for joy, the C. U. line. Then Captain Hill, a forward of renown, Whose warlike acts the foes confound; Whose long-shot goals the crowd astound. And loud applause her praises sound. Let one long, loud, last verse acclaim The glories of the High School game! In splendid pomp proud Nashville came; She left — so sore and lame — Their three years ' unbroken fame. Their envied and their honored name. Their strength of will and bulk of frame. Low laid by C. U. ' s aim. A pair of husky guards, Cato and Gwynn; 1 hey watch, they work, they fight; They ' re in the game, they ' re on their men — Who says they ' re not all right? There ' s Taylor for utility; Forward or center, with facility; She serves with admirable ability, And leaves off affability. Alexander, the Great in pep, Eager rushes to the fray; Fights hard — a little while — and makes a rep For meteoric play. The managerial ability of Miss Barbee, The schedule duly showed. She mobilized, e ' en to equalize must she — The gate receipts with what she owed.

Overlooking the loss of Turner and Collins to Jersey City, Cumberland still has a chance to win the honor she has always won in the game. On the mound are Bohanon, Thweatt, Estes and Bradshaw, any of who.-n can meet and beat any college team on our schedule. Estes is showmg up strong, and doubtless will continue to make good. Luna, at catcher ' s place, is also coaching, now that Turner is gone. He is one of the best receivers in the South. Big Burns at first misses none of the drives to him, and plays that place with ease. Hardison on second base is fast, sure, and eats up the grounders easily. Files at center field lets none go by, and hits well. Chestnut at shortstop is as good as rumor said he was. He is also hitting ' way up. Hunter is on third base, and is as good as Turner was there. Stevenson holds down left field, while Wright is in right. They are both playing consistent ball and backing up the infield. Peck Turner Baseball Schedule 1915 .

Cumberland ha s always had an enviable record in baseball and football, but for the last few years not much interest has been manifested in track work. How- ever, during the past winter and early spring Dean Smith and Prof. Schnirel, who are both interested in track, have been arousing the enthusiasm of the student body in this branch of sport, so that track activity has become a reality. The young ladies of the institution have also manifested great interest in track athletics, and as an earnest of their college spirit have offered a silver loving cup. A most appropriate trophy was purchased with the proceeds of pastry, cake, and candy sales held in the Domestic Art and Science Hall. The plan is to have a track meet some time in May, open to the students of the University, and the athlete who secures the highest number of points in the events run off shall have his name engraved on the cup, with the number of points won. The quarter-mile track, as well as the two-twenty straightaway, is being worked into good condition, and pretty good time has been made in the preliminary tryouts. In the mile run Beck, Dan Johnson and Andrews show up well, with Beck having a shade the better. In the quarter Howard has shown championship form, with Beck and Purnell as close seconds. Purnell and Stevenson ought to show up well in the high and low hurdles. In the broad and high jump the Estes brothers, Douglas and Thweat are doing good work. In the shot put and hammer throw McGregor, Dan Johnson and Burns are rounding into form. The track manager, corresponding with other teams, has arranged for dual meets with Castle Heights, the University of Alabama, and Vanderbilt. We are confident that the boys will give a good account of themselves. The University Club (Continued from Page 81). On the evening of January 16, 1915, the club held a reception at the commodious home of Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Martin, which proved a delightful social event to those privileged to attend. The membership roll this year numbers more than forty, and the semi-rhonthly meetings are largely attended. It is the purpose of the club to foster interest not only in the study of literature and the arts, but also in topics of public interest, and to maintain that high standard of intellectual culture exemplified in the lives of those who have been and are the leaders in the University circles.

UNIVERSITY A rs. ™p no EN IX M Ki jssmg By Pauline Palmer ISSING is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is a way of saluting your relatives and — some who are not relatives. It has caused more black eyes and broken noses than anythmg else on earth, with the illustrious exception of John Barleycorn. On the other hand, it has caused more thrills more smiles, more happiness, than anything this side of the golden gates. Kissing was first invented when God made Eve out of Adam ' s rib. The first thing Adam did when he saw Eve was to kiss her. He did not know why he did it until several centuries had gone by, giving him sufficient time to think it over. He came to this conclusion: He kissed Eve because he was a man and she was a woman. (The writer can vouch for the truth of the foregoing statement, being a direct descendant of both Adam and Eve.) Since then kissing has grown more popular every year, until now a girl thinks nothing of kissing a man the first time she meets him, if surroundings permit. Some think it very sinful to kiss any man except your fiance, but girls contend that you never do really know whether or not you are really engaged until after the ceremony has been said, and that it is best to be on the safe side and be kissing two or three — not at the same time, however. In days of old, when knights were bold, men fought for kisses, murdered for kisses and were murdered for them; while many a fair maid died of a broken heart or stabbed herself with her lily vhite hand — all on account of a kiss. In this day and time, however, people don ' t take it so seriously, unless they want a divorce. Indeed, some hard-hearted people go so far as to say that this time-honored custom ought to be abolished because people catch diseases by kissing. Every- one has something the matter with him, more or less, so it is only an exchange of microbes, germs or bacteria after all. Someone has said that the safest place to kiss your sweetheart vas on the back of his or her picture; but if the sugar has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be sweet? Kissing is indulged in by all kinds of people from the king on his throne to the peasant in his hut. College students, as a rule, indulge in this most thrilling caress to excess. Nuf sed. Kisses are divided into two classes — holy and profane. The latter class is by far the larger. Indeed, holy kisses have been on the wane since the days of the Apostles, ■hlle the profane kind, I grieve to say, has been constantly on the increase. This is one line along which mankind has not, in an ethical sense, progressed very rapidly. Now there are people who indulge in progressive kissing to a great extent. They go from table to table, so to speak. Some kisses are red-hot, some lukewarm, and still others ten degrees below zero.

For two long years I had thought of climbing the old flagpole in front of Memorial Hall, and really when the new grandstand was being built I regretted to see the old flagpole cut down and used for pillars in the new structure — simply because I had thought I should like to climb to the top of it some day. Never in my solemn musings had I thought, ever, of delivering my graduation oration from the top of the old staff. But when, in my dream, I did finally climb to the pinnacle of that now almost- forgotten old staff; and after standing on the top of the old pole for half an hour while the wind rocked it, while the thunder roared and the forked lightning flashed, believe me. Freshman, I was glad when the lightning struck the old staff, if I did fall out of my bed. An Alumnus, 1914. Adventures of Little Boy Blue (Continued from Page 63). had come to visit this wonderful land. On reaching the shore he caught a Ramsey which he found grazing on the green of Grayson, and rode up the Hill of Hicks to the place where stood the shop of Smith, who Files the sheets of steel to make the Keyes which unlock the doors to the Hall of the Barnes of Schlofman. Now, on this island were several inhabitants of the tribe of Wistner, who had a century ago left the land of Lannom to sojourn in this land of plenty. One of these was Slinkard, the sheik of the desert. At this home he found the sage of old entertaining the Jaynes of Kilgore by reading to them from the Cohran. Upon being informed as to the Wright road to the plains of Parvin he resumed his journey. Soon he reached the arch of Allison, where he found McCrory, the intrepid interpreter of Ireland, Curlin a Gurley hair, but not daring to interfere with this common performance, he passed on to the steep slopes of Stephenson ; ascending to their dizzy heights, he turned to admire the beauties of the landscape, but hearing his mother ' s call, he awoke to find it all a dream.

In this trance the following vision appeared. This vision, nearly concerning the future of this Senior Class of 1915, I feel in duty bound to reveal, so that each man may know what Fate, the inscrutable, has in store for him. Behold the Vision ! Entranced, my spirit went forth in time and space. The time is February 19, 1925, and the place Little Old Ne s- York. Scheuerman ' s Imperial Cafe on Broadway was bril- liantly lighted. In the great banquet hall upstairs was as- sembled the most distinguished group of public men ever brought together under one roof. In the center of the ban- quet hall was a mighty table. Around that table, grouped in splendid array, was the Senior La v Class of 1915. The ninety-eighth birthday of that grand and well-beloved old man. Judge Nathan Green, was the auspicious occasion which had brought these great men together from the length and breadth of the land. They sat there in that great banquet room, and the Ship of State plunged on her way through the murky night without their guiding hands upon her helm. Judge Nathan Green, the guest of honor, sat in state at the head of the festive board. On the Judge ' s right was His Excellency, Mr. Holloway, President of the United States, and upon his left that -itty philosopher and gallant gentleman, Dr. Andre - B. Martin. At the foot of the great table sat our good friend. Judge Beard. His kindly face was illumined vith happiness as he pondered the mir- acles which a few brief years had wrought in the estate of these young friends of his. He thought with a trace of awe of the time, only ten short years ago, when they had graced his Moot Court with sprightly wit and erudite learning ! A pompous butler swung wide the door, announcing Major-General Britt, U. S. A., and Captain A. M. How- ard, U. S. N. These popular old classmates were received with warm acclimation. Jack Johnson, the distinguished head waiter, immediately filled their glasses with a fine sample of Aqua Pura. During the progress of the feast, someone divulged the fact that Governor Calhoun, of Texas, had brought along his faithful old cornet. He was implored to play a tune. He complied, and, standing in his chair, gave a piece of Page one hundred jifty-ttifo ■ ' k TMEpn o . 1 _ e :nix 1 . v5 .

He said that the title of his piece suggested to all present what would inevitably have happened had not President HoUoway been elected at such an opportune time. Secretary of War Steed now attempted to show to Mr. Jones, Minister to China, by a practical demonstration, just how he would like to handle the foreign situation. I would first demolish China — thus! he exclaimed, smashing his plate. I would then sweep Turkey aside. His reck- less and violent gesture sent the noble gobbler reposing upon the platter before him, spinning across the table. The great bird skidded on the shining shirt bosom of Senator Wilkerson and became impaled upon his great, protruding diamond stud. There it hung until removed by a solicitous waiter. Then, yelled Secretary Steed, his eyes flashing, I would overturn Greece. Suiting the action to the word, he inverted the butter dish. An indignant waiter summoned a policeman, but Chief Justice Templeton, the Texas mil- lionaire, slipped the officer a twenty, and averted unpleas- antness. All old members of the LEX remember little Texas Jack Lawrence, the tangled young philosopher, ' who couldn ' t understand how the Universe worked, or why ! He was there. He explained that he had established a religion of his own, and that while he did not l)e( under- stand, his modus operandi was certainly sound. Surgeon- General Webb cried: Sit down, Lawrence, with your talk of modus operandi — what do ' ou know about an- atomy? Surgeon-General Webb then rose and gave an interest- ing and illuminative talk on Great Men of the Jewish Race. He first showed conclusively that Juno the Goddess vas really not Grecian, but a Jewish maiden, and that her name was originally and properly spelled Jemno. He then spoke of eU ' lias Caesar, and ended his very learned dis- course Vknth a glowing and characteristically powerful tribute to Battling Levinsky. Mr. Webb, queried Congressman King, was Na- poleon a Jew, too? Partly, acquiesced the obliging Hebrew surgeon. Which part, asked King suspiciously. Why, the bony pari, chuckled the astute Mr. Webb. King fainted ! Genial Johnson, the football hero, now arose. Gents, he said, I guess you all know how I ' m making out in public life, as I constantly live in the limelight, so to speak. I am still football coach for Yale, and am a member of the All-American. You may be interested to know also that I recently married that great heiress. Miss Iva de Mazuma, and have converted all her outstanding chattels real! The great and popular athlete paused to light a $1.50 cigar, and the scintillant blaze from the four great diamonds upon his hand bhnded four waiters simultaneously. This so distressed the honest fellow that he refused to continue his interesting remarks. Hon. C. B. Jensen, President of the Anti-Saloon League of America, was next heard from. He said that every drop of demon rum manufactured in this fair land is an indelible stain upon the ' star-strangled-banana. ' Hon. Page one hundred fift -four «Jte— -«- %.

K. as far as he went, but he did not go far enough. Mr. Bryan said that personally he favored world-wide pro- hibition, including Lebano n. Col. Weiss, the eminent financier, received an urgeni call from John D. Sockafellow, Jr. Mr. Sockafellow stated that stocks, especially Steel Common, were behaving queer- ly, and that the presence of Col. Weiss was necessary on the Street to prevent a panic. That eminent financier and busy man was forced to go, and his departure created a vacuum which could not be filled. Speech! Pickens! clamored the crowd. That great author rose to his feet with a grateful smile. Sit down! sit down! sit down! clamored the crowd. That great author sat down, minus the smile. Judge Beard delivered a moving address, entitled The Case Is Never Won Until the Decree Is Filed. Judge Martin chose for his topic The Personal Inspiration Which the Brilliant Achievements of This Class of 1915 Has Been to Me. He said he felt like the sower who had sowed his seed on good ground. Judge Green said nothing. He smiled. God bless him, his smile is more eloquent than words. Heizer, the Prince of Toastmasters, and Virginia ' s pride, proposed this toast, in which all joined with enthusiasm: Fill each glass wilh Aqua Pura. Toast the Judge, for he is sure a Grand Old Man. So here ' s to him! His kindly eye age cannot dim. No law school has ever seen The equal of our Nathan Green. Y. P. Wooten, the famous liquizone tenor, now sang his favorite song, entitled If You Ain ' t Got No Money, Well, You Needn ' t Come Around. Mr. Day, the famous platform lecturer and renowned orator, now rose and said that he had a poem he wanted to recite. Mr. Purnell, Governor of New York, suggested to the crowd that the poem, judging by Mr. Day ' s expres- sion, had probably soured in his system, and he called for a motion and vote to the end that Mr. Day might be per- mitted to unburden himself. This motion, seconded by Mr. Orange, the millionaire fruit man, was carried unanimously. Mr. Day thereupon recited as follows: We hear folks talk of Captain Kidd: They say he made a gallant bid To collar all the wealth he found afloat. But had he heard of Y. P. Wooten, Then far inland he ' d a come scootin ' ; The tale of that strong box ' d got ' is goat. That great strong box, cram full of gold, ' Which Woolen took, with feelings cold, Then carted off and buried in Blackacre. In that land for sixty years, Despite the students ' salty tears, He ' s buried twice the wealth of Wannamaker. Page one hundred fifl ' -six A 0 . -1 a 1 v3 .

Now she ' s bounding o ' er the breakers. Now she ' s perched upon the rocks. In her bottom you may plainly see the hole. But the Betsy little careth for calamities or shocks. As she glides . - o::nd about from pole to pole. Mr. Day subsided into his chair, but his face wore a look of rehef. So did the faces of his auditors! Walter Smith, the widely beloved philanthropist and writer on economics, rose from his place — and wept. Well, wouldn ' t that jar a man? said Jarman, the great Floridian. Why the waterworks, Smithie, ol ' scout? I weep, affirmed Smith, for Alabama ' s noblest son — a young man of high Christian virtue, brilliant intellect, mag- netic charm. I refer, of course, to that astute lawyer and whirlwind reformer, B. Guy Smith, of Montgomery. I thought he was doing a swell work, remarked Casmir Borkowski, the popular Polish Populist. Alas, he got too swell! sobbed the disconsolate Walter. Gentlemen, he continued, the gallant B. G. S. is dangerously wounded, suffering muchly at this moment, while we make merry, far from his couch of pain. Gentlemen, our beloved friend, B. Guy Smith, is busted! Why, said T. A. Stephens, the great banker, I thought that fellow was rated as a millionaire; how sad that he should now be bankrupt! Oh! said Walter, I don ' t mean he is insolvent; he just naturally bleiv up. You see, gentlemen, he continued, our friend ' B. G. ' generated hot air very rapidly, and one day, while particularly full of it, he wandered into a meet- ing of Montgomery club women and tried to make a speech, but they all talked so fast and so incessantly that poor Guy couldn ' t squeeze in a single word, and the hot air pressure within him continued to rise so rapidly that suddenly he just busted wide open. Hon. R. B. Fentress, Mayor of Memphis, arose, his face pale. This is indeed a terrible calamity to hear tell of, gents, he said. We are men, he continued, and we can bear it; but the poor, poor ladies of the South, how terribly they all will grieve for their favorite. Ah! to think of him — busted! Messrs. Brannen and Cannon now arose and, desiring to dispel the gloom which Smith ' s sad fate had cast upon the assembly, began to sing.

THEpnoENi 1.0 1 Captivity, needed no introduction, for they are known and loved from Georgia ' s pine groves to Mexico, the land of comic opera, hot tamalies and bloodshed. They were up- roariously encouraged and invited to do their blamndest, ' and they did ! They sang Among the Pine Trees I Long to Roam, in Dear Old Georgia, My Southern Home. Before they could start on the second verse Mr. Dilworth, the fan-.ous inventor of the ill in dill pickles, makmg them Tvorlh more, started up, tearing his hair. He said, in sub- stance, that rather than endure the agony of hearing Bran- nen and Cannon smg that second verse, he would personally defray their R. R. fare back to the land of the Pine Trees, that they might roam at will. He said that it would take a pine tree, or some other vegetable, to stand such discords as Brannen and Cannon produced, and that no animal could stand it. Fred Crane, the fighting Senator from Idaho, jumped to his feet and said that, personally, the strains produced by the two gentlemen from Georgia were sweeter to his ear than sught he had ever heard, save the cry of his first-born son! He stated further that he was not an animal — he pronounced it Anna Mile — and that if Mr. Dilworth thought so he had a fight coming! He also said: Dilly- Dally you, Mr. Dilworth, I think you have imbibed too much Aqua Pura, anyway. Dilworth hastened to explain that he used the word animal in its generic sense. Senator Crane looked doubtful, but he resumed his seat. Sir R. D. Hardy, late Ambassador to England, now took the floor. Why, he asked, did the chicken cross the road? This old gag being flung in their faces was more than that intelligent assembly could stand, and W. E. Rabb, the impetuous corporation attorney of the Lone Star State, hurled a custard pie with telling effect. After Jack Johnson and the other waiters had wiped the debris from Sir Hardy ' s face, he eagerly assured the crowd that they had misjudged him. He admitted that, while the joke sounded old, it was really new. Let ' s have it, then, demanded Entrekin of Ensley. I repeat, said Sir R. D. Hardy, why did the chicken cross the road? No one could answer. The chicken crossed the road, said Sir Hardy solemnly, to avoid the ardent attentions of Mr. J. A. Rogers! Mr. Rogers, the millionaire sporting man from Oklahoma, arose, his face very red, and said: I admit that this chicken crossed the road to avoid my pursuit, but this chicken was a red-headed chicken, and I always lose my head when I see a red-headed chicken. Judge Newsome, that Great Legal Light, rose and gazed sternly upon the unhappy Mr. Rogers. Rogers, he said coldly, you are seeking to reverse a custom established by the precedent of hundreds of years, whereof the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. Whereas it is the usual order of events for the chicken to lose its head, never lose jjour head when you see a chicken, Mr. Rogers. Let the chicken lose its head; this is the usual and proper order of things.

Richard, rebuked the Judge, I have forgotten more about chickens of all kinds than you will know if you live to be as old as Lillian Russell. This ended the matter. Happy Litchford, Tennessee ' s handsomest son and richest politician, asserted that he was some bear cat with the chickens himself. He said: Bring up one now, and I ' ll show you fellows some stunts — but let Burk-hold-her. Hon. O. B. Roberson, Mayor of Oklahoma City, gained his feet and held up a diamond-bespangled hand for silence. The three smartest and most popular members of the Senior Class of ' 15, he remarked, are not present. Of course, I refer to the ladies, Miss Ruth Forcum and Mrs. Robert- son and Mrs. Hudson. Chief of Police Pinney, of Dallas, succeeded Mr. Roberson. Mrs. Robertson, he said, spoke in Dallas the other afternoon. My men had great difficulty in handling the immense crowds that thronged to hear her. As we all know, she is Suffragette candidate for President and will run against Mr. Holloway, here, in the next election. Lord help me, then, moaned Holloway, brokenly. Mr. Hudson, the Great Editor, said that he was sorry his wife couldn ' t be present, but that she was very busy contributing brilliant editorials to a great New York news- paper syndicate. He affirmed that she was very happy in her momentous task of guiding and molding public opinion, which she was doing wisely and well. Dr. Martin, beloved of every student who has come within the range of his kindly influence and genial wit, rose and motioned for order. Boys, he said, I have kept a record of the other fellows who were unable to be with us tonight, having grown rich in this world ' s goods and being unable to leave their great enterprises even for a day. I have framed a record of these lucky fellows in the form of a poem, which, while rough and ready, gives us an idea of how luck has treated our absent friends. Read it. Doc ' , shouted the crowd; we ' d like to hear. Thus ad- jured. Dr. Martin recited as follows, consulting his memo- randum book: Medling, Walker, Baxter, Lynch, Al! of ' em rich, say Law is a cinch.

A very great man indeed rose when Dr. Martin resumed his chair, a man whose personahty and majestic learning were not ecKpsed by any in that brilliant and intellectual assembly. This great Judge of the United States Supreme Court and voluminous writer on the law, whose works were superseding Blackstone, Kent and Story on every hand. gazed around the respectful circle of faces turned toward him. Gentlemen and fellow-classmates of ' 15, he said, I have been asked to make a few remarks relative to what you have so graciously called my great work and the place I have won for myself m the legal world. Gentlemen, I feel that it is only just that I should confess that I owe all that I am, and all that I hope to be, to my blessed little wife, who was known to you all as Ruth Forcum, the pretty, clever, generous little girl, whom you doubtless re- member and love. Judge Green rose. I propose a toast, he said, to the most popular member of the class of ' 15, Miss Ruth Forcum!
