Cu JL theDM O „ iM UNIVERSITY Doxology of the Senior Class N the fall of 1912 there were three classes of students who entered Cumberland University. The first class were those who had been in the Cumberland Preparatory Department, and were already at home with the big bugs and the high moguls of the Univer- sity. Upon the heels of this class of students came those who had just taken their diplomas from some fashionable prep school. These were not quite as much at home as those of the first class, but felt a great superiority to those of the third class. This third class consisted of those poor unfortunates who had only attended some country school or academy. These students stood around like frightened rabbits and heaved sighs of relief when the ordeal of classi- fication and matriculation was over. This classification, however, did not continue throughout the year. In a few weeks there was an entirely different basis for classification. Some of all classes were weighed in the balance and found wanting. But there were some in each class who took up their burdens and pressed on toward the goal of 1916. There were again three classi- fications. The first class consisted of those who were here to get the most out of college life. Then came those who considered class distinction the only thing worth striving for. After this class came those who were here because they had nowhere else to go. We can truthfully say that both of the latter classes have fallen by the wayside. We are glad that every member of the Class of ' 1 6 is in college to get everything possible out of every activity of college life. Every member of the class is a live wire and right on the jump from the word GO. Some of our number have struggled silently and steadily through the four dark and dismal years of undergraduate work right here in Cumberland. Others have come in to take up the places in our ranks of those who have left us for other fields of activity. We mourn that in the course of the passing years our dear UNCLE US was removed from our midst. May his memory ever be kept green, and may it be as great an inspiration and as great a force for good as was his life. We indeed regret that another of our class has been forced to leave us when so near the desired goal. We would say to him: May your shadow never grow less. And now we must say FAREWELL. Farewell to the schoolmates and friends. May they ever take us as an Page thirly-three yNlVERSIT example. Farewell to the Faculty. May they long con- tinue in their work, and may they ever be successful. Last of all, we would say Farewell to Cumberland — Cumber- land with her inspiring associations — Cumberland with her high ideals — Cumberland with her history of good and noble deeds. May she not only live, but may she grow and prosper until every tongue shall sing the praises of Cumberland. Page thiriy-four A 0-.

It has an excellent record of deportment. Honest Injun, not a one of its members has been in jail for a serious offense. It is the cream of the University, for it furnishes most of the material for student activities. The five head officers of the Y. M. C. A., and the last three Presidents of the Amasagassean Literary Society were all Sophomores. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen in debate, and came within an ace of defeating the Juniors. More could be said of its activities, but time and space are not available. The Sophomores are always in the thick of the fight. Science and art is their daily diet, and brains and poise is the result. They have a higher aim than merely making life miserable for the faculty and Freshmen. Nothing can feaze them, for they possess ready initiative and absolute self-confidence. The Sophomore Class holds the record for efficiency, punctuality and stickability. The Sophomore is efficiently thorough and intensely practical. Sentiment — well, sentiment of the sticky variety be hanged ; it has no place in his busy life. The Sophomore is the happy combination of qualities not possessed by the other classmen. He lacks the fearful timidity of the Freshman, the somber dignity of the Junior, the serious consideration of self of the Senior; therefore, is perfectly natural. He is truly an Oliver Twist in the great kitchen of knowledge, and has the audacity to be contin- ually asking for more information to store up in his ever- receptive cranium. Sophomores, live up to the best that is in you. There is nothing impossible for us. Golden opportunity knocks at our door. The world lies at our feet. We are heir of the ages. Let us dare, and dare to dare again. Members of the Sophomore Class Jesse L. Andrews, B.S • . . Watertown. Tenn. Ura a. Brocden, A.B Sparta, Tenn. Miss Margaret Campbell, A.B Lebanon, Tenn.

THEOnOElNl ,J ' kJ Page foriy-tao pno urt S NDl UNIVERSITY , aJ The Preparatory Department HE Cumberland Preparatory School maintains an efficient and consistent organization with definite aims and well-defined standards of scholarship. The administration has been unusually successful in creating an atmosphere that has inspired students with higher ideals in the performance of their many duties and activities. The faculty this year have been efficient and experienced, and fortunately have had an intelligent, appreciative, and responsive student body. This year closes with an increased knowledge of various text-books. Training has also been acquired from another source which is worthy of mention: The Amaveritian (truth loving) Literary Society includes every student of the Preparatory Department. It was organized in September, 1915, at the beginning of the scholastic year, with Mr. Stanley B. Farley, President. At the beginning of the second term, Mr. Finis K. Merchant, of Ashville, Ala., was elected President. The Society was full of enthusiasm from the very beginning, and an increased interest was shown at each meeting. Many interesting debates were hotly contested by the boys, while the girls exhibited talent in readings and music. Parliamentary law was not neglected. In addition to literary pursuits, the Cumberland Preparatory School boasts of a basketball team that was defeated only one time out of many games played. With assurances that the same faculty and most of the present student body will be back next year, the future for Cumberland Preparatory School looks brighter than ever before.

Page fort )-five JLJNIVERSITX.J C THEpnoENix Judge Nathan Green TUDENTS of Cumberland University Law School have certain privileges that students of other law schools do not possess in the rare in- struction given by our faculty. Judge Nathan Green, Dean; Dr. Andrew B. Martin and Judge Edward E. Beard, and we, the Senior Class of the Law School, here wish to pause and review the lives of these three men, who have so ear- nestly labored in our behalf, with a zeal and an enthusiasm hardly equaled in any similar institution. Judge Nathan Green was born in Winchester, Tenn., February 19, 1827. His early hfe was spent in a highly intellectual atmosphere, as his father, Nathan Green I, had been a member of the Supreme Court of the State of Ten- nessee, and a professor in Cumberland University Law School. Judge Green entered the Literary Department of Cumberland University in 1843, and graduated in 1847. In 1847 he entered the Law School of the University and graduated with the degree LL.B. in 1849. From 1849 to 1856 he practiced law with great success, being a law partner of Robert Hatton, afterwards a distinguished Gen- eral of the Confederate States in the Civil War. Judge Green has had a remarkable legal career, both in practice and in the classroom, where he has probably taught more lawyers than any living professor of law in the United States, as he has taught law here continuously since 1856. He has the rare ability which enables him to present ab- struse legal problems to immature minds in such form and manner as is readily apprehended and remembered. Wis- dom is a union of knowledge and love, and these two attributes are shown forth in his life. It is a liberal education in itself to sit under Judge Green ' s gracious influence, even though we fail to understand the law which he so patiently teaches us. He is a man loved by all who come in contact with him, and a man who has known Judge Green for more than a half century has said he was the only man about whom he never heard an unkmd word spoken. As a type of the old Southern gentleman. Judge Green is a perfect example, gracious, dignified, just, and true. One of his boys, who graduated under him some forty years ago, has paid him this tribute, which we consider most fitting and appropriate: Through this broad land are men whose memories wax grateful and tender when m leisure moments they recall the days spent at old Cumberland. The central figure in the picture which their imagination paints in such moments stands out clearly — it is the face and figure of Judge Nathan Green. . . . When the end comes to you, which it must before many years more have passed, it will deservedly be said of you: ' Well done, thou good and Page forl )-5lx n. V:v.™p]-10EN m h x ' i£ UNIVERSITY faithful servant, . . . enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. ' Judge Green has been a devout Christian all of his life, and this reverence for the faith of his fathers has deeply impressed us all. We feel that all of his boys have been so impressed by the beauty of his own life that they will all put themselves in the keeping of the Great Advocate above, who has never lost a case committed to His care. = % Page forl -5cvcn LUNIVERSITV ; ■• « THEpnoEiNix J Dr. Andrew Bennett Martin N every group of men gathered together since time began, some men stand out pre-eminently, head and shoulders above their fellows. These men rise by sheer force of character and ability, and become our leaders in every art and calling. Such a man is Dr. Andrew B. Martin, professor of law, whose life has been closely associated with the life of Cumberland University, and whose efforts have been poured into the Law School of the University much as a labor of love, bringing it into the famous position it now occupies, the most famous law school in the South. Dr. Martin was born at Trousdale Ferry, Smith County, Tennessee, December 9, 1 836, his father being a prom- inent physician of Smith County, Dr. Matthew Moore Martin. At a very early age, the subject of this review came to Lebanon, where by his individual efforts he obtained a liberal education. He entered the Law School of Cum- berland University in 1856, taking the degree of LL.B. in 1858. In 1882 he received the degree of LL.D. from Lincoln University of Illinois. For a number of years he was a law partner of the late Judge W. H. Williamson. He served as Lieutenant, Company H, Seventh Tennessee Infantry; Major on the Staff of General Robert Hatton; later on the staff of General George Dibrell, and finally on the staff of General Joseph Wheeler. On several occasions he has served as special Judge of the District Court. He was a member of the Tennessee Legislature, 1871-1872; Presidential elector of the State at large on the Hancock ticket. In I 866 he was elected to the Board of Trustees of Cumberland University, and has been President of this board since 1882. In 1878 he entered Cumberland Uni- versity as a professor of law, which chair he has occupied continuously since that time. As a law professor, possibly Dr. Martin has no rival in the United States, and as a text-book writer he has immortalized his name in his Edition of Carruthers ' History of a Law Suit, which is widely known in the law schools of the country and the law pro- fession. Dr. Martin is a born teacher, and has the faculty of making law an intensely interesting subject. His Junior classes are well attended, and he has become so closely connected with the life of the Law School that to think of it, one unconsciously thinks of Dr. Andrew B. Martin. Above all, he stands out conspicuously as a Christian gentle- man, a profound student and teacher of the law, of which Cumberland University is justly proud.

Beard I HE true glory of any university, as far as this world is concerned, is measured by the men who yearly go from its corridors and distinguish them- selves m the affairs of life. By their fruits ye shall know them is as applicable to universities as well as men. This being true, Cumberland University ' s chief glory is her long list of distinguished graduates. Among the learned and gifted men linked in the long chain of Cumberland Law School ' s alumni are many prom- inent and widely known figures ; men who by then- noble character, their power of intellect, and knowledge of the law, have risen above the common level, and attamed to eminent positions in the legal world, and honor and kindly affection in the hearts of their countrymen. In this galaxy comprising the celebrated sons of Cumberland, no star shines with a brighter radiance than that of Judge Edward Ewing Beard, the beloved Judge of our Moot Courts. Briefly, Judge Beard graduated from the Literary De- partment in 1870. The following year he was awarded his LL.B. degree from the same institution. He entered into the practice of law in Lebanon, Tenn., and has resided there ever since. During a period of thirty-three years he has served as Treasurer of his Alma Mater. Success has crowned his efforts, and honors have been showered upon him. He has been President of the American National Bank of his native Lebanon for many years. In 1910 the Law Department of Cumberland University induced him to undertake the position as Judge of the Moot Courts, in which capacity he has distinguished and endeared him- self to the members of the bar of those courts. As a lawyer. Judge Beard has taken rank with the best; as a refined and cultured gentleman, he has few peers and no superior. As an instructor of legal principles of court practice, he has endeared himself in the hearts of many students, and has inculcated in them the lesson of patience and the dignity of the law. The career of this gentleman has not been spectacular. He has never courted honor, nor entertained ambitious de- signs for power in the political world. He has lived the simple life, and lived it well. He has made a success and a fortune in the practice of law. Had he entered into other fields of activity, as a reward for his efforts, no honor could have been bestowed upon him within the gift of his people of which he would not have been worthy. Judge Beard will be remembered by the students of the Page fort )-nine I t-i UNIVERSITY THEpnoEiNix Law Department not only as a lawyer of ability, but as a kind and wise instructor. The flight of years, nor the result of time, can efface this memory. Above all, he is a Christian. With our partial eyes we can see no blemish in his character. He is a type of the man ideal. His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ' This was a man.

The honor was bestowed by the members of the Senior Class, who desired to pay public tribute to their beloved instructor. This tribute was paid not only to the oldest law professor in actual work, in both years and length of service, in America, but to one who is recognized as one of the greatest and most renowned law instructors in the United States, not onl y by the present class, but by all who have come under his influence, including many of the ablest lawyers and jurists in the South. This year will close his sixty-third year as professor in the Law Depart- ment of Cumberland University. At the banquet table were seated ninety-seven members of the Senior Class, the honoree, and the following alumni and guests, who were guests of honor: Judge F. S. Wilson, Nashville; Chancellor J. W. Stout, Clarksville; Col. J. H. Acklen, Nashville; Judge B. D. Bell, Gallatin; Hon. Ben McKenzie, Dayton; Richard H. Yancey, Editor Nash- ville Banner; Judge Grafton Green, of the Supreme Court; Dr. S. A. Coile, President Cumberland University; Prof. O. N. Smith, Dr. A. B. Martm, Judge E. E. Beard, Prof. L. L. Rice, Capt. E. N. Macon, Hon. Nathan G. Rob- ertson, R. R. Doak, Mesdames A. B. Martin, Pearl Kirk- patrick. Misses Sarah Shields and Helen Buford, of Nash- ville. Following an elaborate five-course menu. Dr. A. B. Martin, as toastmaster, who is both witty and pleasing, read a number of telegrams from alumni who were unable to be present. The toastmaster then presented the speakers of the evening, in the order named, and their remarks and eulogies on the life and character of Judge Green, from the time he entered Cumbreland University in 1 846, seventy years ago, were beautiful and touching. The speakers were: W. M. Fuqua, Jr., Sketch of Judge Green ' s Life; Frank Y. Hill, Honor Roll of Cumberland University; Carlyle S. Baer, Eulogy on Judge Green; Hon. Ben McKenzie, A Lawyer ' s Position as Defendant in Crim- inal Law; Prof. L. L. Rice, The Arts of a Teacher; Judge J. W. Stout, Equity; Judge B. D. Bell, Rem- iniscences; Dr. Coile, By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them; Hon. J. H. Acklen, Profession of Law; Mr. Yancey, Our Banner; Judge F. S. Wilson, Writ of Certiorari; Miss Sarah Shields, Sweethearts; Judge Grafton Green, My Daddy. Page iixty-sevcn r - h D] i ., THEOnOENIX Ljjniversitv.

Judge Green responded with a deep sense of apprecia- tion and modesty. He thanked each of the speakers and members of his class for their expression. He said he felt that he was not entitled to one-tenth of the praise with which he had been bombarded, and he knew they were all fibbing, but it made him feel happy anyhow. He said that whatever success had come into his life was due to his attention to small things. He admonished the mem- bers of the class to make the most of small things, despise them not, and in due time marry, and they would then have someone to help them to care for the little things. — Nashville Banner, Feb. 21, 1916.

Page 3even(ij-one tSEl ,UN1VERSITYJ THEpnOEINIX Junior Class History Jf HE cry of man from the dark ages, down ' , i through the passing generations, has been a Mil continuous clamor for hfe, hberty, and justice. 1 Still rings through the land of every nation that inborn cry, JUSTICE. Heeding to the voice of man and endeavoring to gratify the civil desires of the coming generations, we have humbly and willingly given our lives to the uplifting of justice in the civil and criminal spheres of our national life. We gathered together as Juniors of Cumberland Law in the spring of nineteen hundred sixteen; forty-four in number, and representing, in all, thirteen states, from two national governments. Having the honor of being the largest Junior law class of any spring term in the history of our school, and with a national spirit, free from selfish desires and personal motives ; disbanded the personal ties of friendship, and initiatively filled every office with one of our most competent and able class members, and began our work in earnestness and sincerity. Realizing the possibilities of youth and the vast empires of opportunity that lie open before us, we have willingly submitted the molding of our intellects and characters to our honored professors. Dr. A. B. Martin, Judge N. Green, and Judge E. E. Beard, whose lives of consistent principles, public spirit, and private virtue have justly re- ceived our admiration and esteem. We believe that those who aspire to attain the heights of the civil profession must struggle with their subjects, and rise from the low, dusty horizon of suspicion to the star-lit heights of genius, kneeling at the feet of the Ruler of the Universe and studying Nature ' s laws from divine demonstrators. With our diligence and sincerity of purpose we are looking forward for January, nineteen hundred seventeen, when we will complete our course of study, and then, with others, some of whom have attained distinction and nobility, will dwell forever in the peaceful realms of the Alumni of Cumberland Law.

Page sevenl -threc THEpnoENiix i:;a;£ ' B3ls:a;ia: Conservatory HE Conservatory of Music of Cumberland University has for ten years been directed by Professor Robert Paul Gise, a native of Ohio. From early childhood he has shown marked musical talent. This innate quality was developed by study with master teachers, and broadened by mingling in the musical environment of the great art centers. After graduating with highest honors from an r Eastern conservatory, he had four years further study in Cincinnati with one of the foremost pianists of America, studying at the same time the pipe organ with a pupil of the celebrated Guilmont, of Paris. He is a master in his art, and brings to his work here a life rich in experience. As an instructor, through research and study of the masters, and through years of experience in the North, East, and South, he is well fitted for his work. In every sense, his talent and attainments are prominent. In the teaching of voice, he has developed a method that is based on the principle of correct, artistic use of the voice, following the lines of the foremost teachers of the day. As a conductor, his work is highly artistic. He leads his stu- dents to a keener appreciation of the true spirit of music, and to the R. P. GISE power of interpreting the works of great masters. His students go out from the Conservatory inspired by the high ideals and standards set forth in his teachings and by his own personality and musical temperament. Professor Gise is a student of human nature, and through his keen insight, is enabled to understand and deal with the individual needs of his students. He is more than a mechanical teacher, for he comes into intimate, personal touch with each of his students, and is to them a teacher, counselor, and friend. Page seventh-four rnzp n o e:n I = %=«, t UNIVERSITY Martha Martin Burke Violin Mrs. Burke has for four years been a member of the musical faculty of Cumberland University. After studying in Nashville, Tennessee, with the best teachers, she was in Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and studied with Mr. Tirindelli, 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 Svescensi, a member of the famous Kneisel Quartette. During the time she has been connected with the University she has built up the Viohn Department until it has become prominent in the Conservatory. She is director of the University Orchestra, an important factor in the musical life of the University. In Lebanon and in adjoining towns this organization has won a popular place. Miss Lilla Mace Assislanl in Piano Miss Mace was a pupil of Herr Eugene Feuchtinger, who preceded Prof. Robert Paul Gise as Director of Music in the Conservatory of Cumberland University. Pursuing her study for two years under the direction of Prof. Gise, she graduated in 1910, after which she continued her study with him for one year as post-graduate. Miss Mace has the charm of winning young pupils. Through her keen insight into child life, she leaches her pupils to love the study of music. She has for three years been a member of the University Orchestra, and has shown marked ability as an accompanist.

Chenoweth, of Vanderbilt University, the Department of Public Speaking and Expression, which was added to Cumberland University in 1914, has become a live factor in promoting interest in debating, oratory, expression and dra- matics. The course in public speaking includes a thorough study of the principles of argumentation and also training in the art of delivery. The course in expression is planned with a view to pre- paring advanced students for teachers of expression and plat- form entertainers, while the preparatory course emphasizes more the study of literature, the appreciation of it from a sub- jective standpomt. In addition to the courses mentioned, attention is given to the study of the drama, its history and technique. The rapid increase in the enrollment of this department is not the least manifestation of the interest taken in every phase of work which the department offers.

HE department of Home Economics has completed another year of record work, under the excellent ' P ll supervision of Miss Mildred Hungerford. Interest in this course is constantly growing, and only a visit is necessary to convince one of the efficient work of our different classes. It is the aim of the University to perfect this department in every way. And already a large step has been taken in that direction. To the courses in Cooking, Sewing, and Home Management of last year, have been added the studies of Home Nursmg, Personal Hygiene, Dietetics, and Textiles. Considering that Cumberland has only had this depart- ment two years, we feel greatly encouraged with our prog- ress, and feel we can, even now, compete with the depart- ments of longer standing in other universities.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity owns thirty-five chapter houses, and last year initiated more than six hundred members. The Tennessee Lambda Chapter, Cumberland University, was the third chapter installed, the charter being granted here on April 4, 1885. The Chapter, as a whole, this year is one of the best Tennessee Lambda has ever enjoyed, and with six strong men returning, our prospects for the coming year look very promising.

The success of the plan has been exemplified by the rapidly increasing interest displayed by students hitherto indifferent to this branch of liberal ;ducation. Organized for the purpose of fostering oratory and debate, the Council has provided opportunities to participate in oratorical contests of widely differing nature and debates both interclass and intercollegiate. The progress made toward the end of interesting every student in some form of public speaking is exceedingly great in proportion to the length of existence of the Council. Under the supervision of capable men, the Public Speaking Council is demonstrating the many and essential educational values which come as the result of acquiring poise and naturalness and clear thinking from the platform. It belongs to the future achievements of this organization to make public speaking in all its branches a leading factor in University training, and thus influence the cultiva- tion of the latent talents. Officers of the year: Thos. L. Whitfield, President; L. D. Phillipps, Secretary and Treasurer. Members: Prof. H. A. Hill, C. J. Griffith, M. S. McGregor.

HE beginning of the Young Men ' s Christian Association of Cumberland University is not definitely known. There is a tradition that it was first organized in 1856, with Gen. A. P. Stuart as its first President, • 1 and that it was the first college organization ever formed. This tradition is thoroughly in accord with the spirit that has always prevailed in Cumberland Univer- sity and with the character of the great man who is reported as the organizer of the Association. In 1 88 1 this Association was firmly established as a leading and potent factor in the University. The purpose of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is to strengthen the spiritual life of the University, to unite the students, to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship, and to help young men make definite decisions. The most important and most astounding question that confronts college men is, What shall I do with my life? Every true-hearted young man wants to build up in himself a worthy and noble manhood and make his life count for the most possible. The Young Men ' s Christian Association assists men in building up worthy and noble characters and gives them a vision of what is really worth while in life. Every student of the University should be a member of this organization. There are questions to be answered, not with lips, but with the life. These questions can be answered only as men come face to face with God and are taught of Him, and come to rely upon Him who is the source of all strength. There is no organization to which s student may belong that will help him to better live this life than the Young Men ' s Christian Association. Page one hundred five THEOnO Y. M. C. A. Officers L.

An election was held on the night of Septem- ber I 6, when G. E. Allen was elected to fill the vacancy. Although he had only a meager knowledge of the work of the former manager, he set to work with a vim. Accord- ing to Fullback ' s own statement, he wrote seventy-five letters within three days, and the team first felt the power of his talk when they met the Middle Tennessee Normal at Murfreesboro, but the athletic treasury had felt the strength of this Line when called upon to pay numerous telephone and telegraph accounts. We met them and this time played only a normal game, neither team scoring. His next impulse was to go to Sewanee, back home for ten days ' practice, thence to Vanderbilt. Both of these teams sustained their records well, and Cumberland could only growl at the Tigers and failed to find the range of the Commodores. The next game was with S. P. U. at Clarksville. After an all night ' s ride, traversing parts of three States, we met the University of Tennessee at Knoxville on the day fol- lowing the S. P. U. game. At U. T. our boys were dubbed The Carlisle Indians, because of their imitation of these famous men in playing at least one game every day and hardly resting on the seventh day, as they made their journey home on the T. C. At Clarksville we thought that we had almost won a game, as our opponents had not scored at the close of the first half. But the jinx was upon us and denied us the privilege of bringing home a victory. The team was thoroughly drilled for the next two veeks under the careful eye of Coach Anderson, while Manager Allen was perfecting his plans for a trip to the University of South Carolina at Columbia. They ruined us for fair, but on the third day we came back, when eleven bruised and bleeding warriors met the Wofford eleven at Spartan- burg, S. C, and made their last stand for the season of 1915. This was the hardest fought game of the year. We didn ' t score, but neither did they. The team came home feeling that they had defended well A LOST CAUSE. Page one hundred tnienl -lao % e.

Before the team was well organized, we beat the strong team of the Lebanon Athletic Club by a score of 38 to 8. About two weeks later manager Allen gathered his husky squad and headed them towards Nashville to meet last year ' s Southern cham pions, the Y. M. C. A. Ramblers. To make a long story short, the Ramblers rambled right along. A week later the Commodores came to the City of Cedars for their annual battle. This was one of the hardest games of the year, and was in doubt until the final whistle was blown, with Cumberland a few points behind. The first game after the holidays was staged at the Nashville Hippodrome. In anticipation of the great crowd which was expected to gather to see Vanderbilt play her ancient rival. After the game a dance was to be given, but because of the game, Cumberland ' s team was at home sleep- ing peacefully by midnight. Again the Ramblers, assuming their characteristic mood. . J. Burns, McGregor . H. Burns, Collins, Russell Hendrick, Carlin, C. Sullivan rambled over to Lebanon, incidentally carrying home a vic- tory won by a small score. The team next started Alabama bound on a stren- uous two-weeks trip throughout the Southern States. We first went against the Birmingham Athletic Club; next, the Birmingham Y. M. C. A., then Birmingham College. Hav- ing tried the strength of every team in that city, we next went to Tuscaloosa for two games, christening the new University of Alabama gymnasium. From there to South- ern University at Greensboro, Ala. Thence to Marion, Ala. After spending the Sabbath in Marion, where there were fortunately two girls ' colleges, we went to Stockville, Miss. Our routing was from there to Jackson, Tenn., to Lebanon. Home with many a bruise both in spirit and in person. On coming home we found our former rep still here. We gave the Lebanon Athletic Club another defeat, then caused the West Kentucky State Normal to come to Leb- anon for a double defeat. Thus ended the basketball season for 1915-16. A good beginning — a good ending. Pa c one hundred i ' B enly-five kUNlVERSITV A THEpnoEiNii: AT the beginning of the school year the lovers of tennis met at Caruthers Hall and elected Prof. W. P. Graham President of the Tennis Club. The members then met in a body on the Univer- sity courts and with hoe, shovel and rake, put them in good shape for the season. A tournament for the championship among the members was arranged and some of the singles were played off. The weather, however, prevented the playmg of the doubles. An enthusiastic spirit for the spring has already b:en shown and all are looking forward to a good two month ' s playing. Many fast men are out and the prospects are for a very formidable team this spring. Page one hundred tTi cnl -six [k.; .-. , THEpnoENix Sit ' ' fewri «;isi-.

Burns Coach W. F. Thweatt Caplain M. S. McGregor Manager HE team which wears the Cumberland uniforms at present is the most promising squad sent out in many sessions. Although only the beginnmg games have been recorded in the official book, the per- centage column for these five games shows 1 .000. With this evidence of our ability to cope with other teams, no prophecy short of a most glorious season can be made. The cover was lifted on March 28 and 29 at home with Transylvania — resulting in the scoreless defeat for the visitors. This initial exhibition, although handicapped by lack of practice, demonstrated the growing power of the BURNS MACHINE. The excellent performance of Captain Thweatt from the mound aroused the most enthusi- astic and lasting support from the spectators. With these two victories to give confidence, we crossed bats with Roy Ellam ' s Nashville Vols in a game which, but for a bad inning, would have humiliated the professionals. The batting eye was working throughout the contest for the Maroons, and they showed remarkable strength with the willow by connecting with the visiting pitcher for ten hits. As the impatient printer frets for material, we stand him off to report the winning of a three-game series from the University of Chattanooga, the first two recorded in the victory column and the third a tie. Following close on the heels of this delightful episode came the two-ring circus with the Middle Tennessee State Normal. The first affair resulted in a beautiful victory for the sons of Cumberland. The second — well, Jupiter Pluvius must have seen what Fullback was going to do to those poor lads, for he staged a show that put the old ball game on the blink.

They (he and she) were seated on the sofa before the opened window. The evening waned, the sun sank behind the western skies, and night came down. The lazy house cat purred contentedly on the hearth. The couple were busily engaged in conversation, ably assisted by facial and optical expres- sions, and each seemed delighted at the other ' s ready com- prehension of that which was vague even to themselves. A description of them is not necessary, for they are but two of the many victims of that dreadfully contagious disease, L ' Amor. Time, place, everything was forgotten by them. Each was completely absorbed in the other, and lost to the world. The lovelight shone from their eyes. They were like cooing doves. The younger brother, while passing through the room, stopped, swore softly under his breath, and hurried out, nauseated at the very stickiness of it. He was un- noticed, for they were indifferent to the world without. With one accord they walked out into the garden. The moon had arisen, and had silvered the earth with its mellow radiance. The dewdrops sparkled like diamonds in the moonlight. The soft Southern wind rustled through the trees, and smoothed the hair back from the hot brows of the lovers, and brought peace to their troubled souls. The night was truly working magic. Slowly and silently they walked to the little rustic bench and sat down. Neither spoke, for they were enthralled by the weird beauty of the night and by the inexpressible long- ings of the heart. He looked down into those deep brown eyes for a long time and turned away. Both looked off into the distance with that dreamy, indescribable, far-away look on their faces. Theirs was the wordless blending of two kindred souls. Speech was unnecessary to express the deep love felt by each for the other. Finally, he moistened his lips to speak. Verily, Caesar was about to cross the Rubicon. In a faltering voice he told of his love for her, compared it to the boundless seas, and plighted his vows to her with all the fervor of youth. He acknowledged his own unworthiness, and asked her to be his lawful wife till death did them part. Silently she listened, face flushed in a coy, timid smile, and then in her heart surrendered to him her most priceless jewel — a woman ' s wonderful love. He told her that he was very poor and would be unable to support her as she deserved. In the meanwhile, the bearded, disreputable tramp, who had been asleep behind the bench, arose noiselessly to his feet and leeringly thrust his face between them. The girl, deeply touched by her lover ' s devotion, handed him that trite, time-worn, old saying: Darling, I would be willing Pa e one hunJreJ thirl -s!x jHEpnOEN ., % ■?K«« ' ' ' waV«« t v%MWiiv.™ v««(iM ' Sw [C ' i % D UNIVERSITY i to live on bread and water if only I might be near you. The psychological moment had come. The fires of love burned fiercely within them. Impulsively, in the ecstacy of the first kiss, they pressed their lips — not upon each other ' s, but upon the bearded face of the unfortunately intervening tramp. Like the lover of old who saw Helen ' s beauty in the dark, forbiddmg brow of Egypt, they were unmindful of the hairy growth upon the tramp ' s face. Reason had fled. Arcadia had been attained. The tramp disengaged himself in a way that ground his coarse bristles into their tender flesh. He had. a keor. sense of humor, and this was an opportunity never to be had again. To the girl ' s declaration of her willingness to live on bread and water if only she could be near him, he facetiously replied, Very well, dear; you furnish ihe bread, and I ' ll get the water, and then stalked away into the night, chuckling at the amazed chagrin of ihf loNcrs.

Shortly a birdling arises from these ashes, and behold! on the third day, fully feathered, it flies away. Such was the idea that a former editor of the Phoenix in some peculiar manner gained. He was partly true, and m part he was grievously mistaken. Perhaps there was an excuse for the error. The poor man was no doubt worked to death, and his once brilliant mind had grown dim be- cause of the terrible strain of his office. The Phoenix does not rise every five hundred years. Ah, no; it lifts itself from the ashes of last year each succeeding year. Does it fly away and soar where it listeth? No, dear; it does not. It stays right here, and how it does hurt some people ! They do say that it is feathered with gold, and perhaps they are right. To be sure, it lives on gold ; it must have gold to live and grow. ' Tis easy to feed the park monkeys with peanuts. One delights to do it. But, oh, how sad a task it is to feed the poor old Phoenix its yellow ration. The monkey cares not one whit that you should say: I think he is a punk specimen, a regular piece of cheese. The monk is as independent as the proverbial hog. Criti- cism affects his growth as little as it does the journey of the sun. Not so with the Phoenix. It is a sensitive old bird, and kicking is sure to rumple up his feathers and stunt his growth. To be serious, the Phoenix is an exact reflection of the student body. If you think the Phoenix is on the bum, don ' t say so to anybody but your own little self, for if you revile the Phoenix you merely revile yourself. One or vo, or even three, persons cannot make a year book in the tune alloted to the task. It requires the pull of every one of the students. Then in the year to come and in the following years, you who will be in Cumberland, don ' t knock; if you don ' t like the year book of that year, take hold and make the next one better, bigger and a truer image of the Univer- sity, as it really is.

I THEpnoEiNi w.ii ' RSMasai- '  K ..--SttiK=:;iSiB£ ' ' l The University Club By Robert Paul Gise HE University Club was organized on the after- noon of October 16, 1913, and has enjoyed three years of uninterrupted development along lines not only intellectual but social. Interest in the bi-monthly meetings continue to grow, and the regular attendance of a large number of the mem- bers attests their appreciation of the valuable information brought to the Club, through the papers that are read at each meeting and the discussions which follow. Music and readmgs by some member or friend of the Club are a part of every program, and add much to the enjoyment. Among the valuable papers read before the Club this year was one by Captain Macon, of the United States Army, on a sub- ject of peculiar interest to us just at this time. He took as his theme The United States Army, and gave the Club much valuable information, as well as the latest statistics. An open meeting of the Club on the evening of February the twenty-fourth, to which the public was invited, was held at the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Chas. Alexander, of Columbia, Tenn., a former member of the Club, addressed the assembly on the sub- ject of The Church of th,e Future, and presented in his usual charmmg manner a splendid address replete with suggestions and plans for work for both the clergy and the laymen. A brilliant social event of the year was enjoyed on Thursday evenmg, the twenty-nmth of Febri ' .ary, when the Club entertained at the spacious home of Prof, and Mrs. O. N. Smith. It being a purely social affair, bril- liant conversation enthralled the members present in groups large and small. Music and delightful refreshments rounded out a happy evening, and the Club proved its value as a social, as well as an intellectual body. Through the efforts of the President, Prof. H. A. Hill, the program committee composed of Prof. Drane, Mrs. Burke, and the Secretary, Miss Mary Jenkins, the Club has enjoyed another year of profitable work, and looks to the future for a broader development and continued growth.
