[ From As We Don ' t Like It — with due apologies to Billie Shakespeare.] All Davidson ' s a prison , The students merely serve the Faculty. They have their Quips and Cranks ; but even here That seven-headed hydra wields its power, For naught escapes its all embracing rule. Look reader at their heads, as one by one The seven are presented to your gaze. First Carl, with bright red head and winsome eye, Sweet gladsome pet of all the ladies he ; To know him is to love him say they all. Oh, could they see him lording it supreme O ' er trembling preps — whom fate hath thrown beneath His sway, they ' d surely change his name from Carl To Churl. Next Dickie, with his talc and conscience, too, And burden huge of books, comes toddling on Contentedly to school. And then Lonc; John, The would-be lover, he with sudden trips And disappearances most strange indeed To — where, we dare not name, returning e ' er With air of duty well performed, and head Held high, an ideal idle idol he ; Three hearty cheers for him. Bill Joe comes next, Declaiming of athletics pure and fair ; His hobbj ' this, he rides it everywhere In thund ' rous tones, till windows rattle loud And echo back the horrid din. View Project next, With shining forehead and attentive eye. Vou ' d never think to look upon this face That his is the imagination keen and deep. Which brings to life those boundless, multiform, Amazing fabrications, would you now ? The yellow journals lost a ring-tail roarer When he to education turned his mind. .?5 And next the last is Thomas pictured here, Ycleped Tommy by the vulgar herd. In hesitating slowness well prolonged, With darksome frown of cogitation deep, The veriest pedant of them all is he. His doubtful class dismissed comes to our ears As welcome as the rain to tender grass. We oft have read that in the flood old Noe Took refuge in the ark where all was dry. Should second flood o ' erflow the earth, there were No need a second ark to build ; just run To Tommy ' s recitation room. Dryness There eternal. Old Puss, the last, engages now your eye ; Time ' s noblcjst offspring is her la.st they say, And truly here this dictum doth hold good. For by as much as Jupiter, the god. Did tower o ' er the mortals in his power. So much doth he o ' er-rank his fellow men ; And as Minerva full matured sprang forth From Jupiter ' s ambrosial head, so day By day do jokes from this man ' s mighty brain Leap out, but so matured are they at birth, That they have whiskers and their heads are gray.

Why surprised ? Well, for various reasons. Of course they expected a Fresh Class, and even expected a large one, but they hardly expected ms. They looked forward to the arrival of the usual Fresh Class and not to the coming of men who were destined to revolutionize college life and astonish the world in general. Yet, such we have done. Who among us will deny it ? There were fifty-four of us here in the fall of ' 97, a sufficient number to keep the Sophs amused until the Saturday night of Commencement. We did not undertake to run things that year, though there was considerable run- ning done — and we were in most of it. With Jim Walker. President; Top Brown, ' ice-President ; and Tubbj ' Mills as Secretary and Treasurer, to lead us, we successfully lived through our Freshman year. And just here a question comes to the historian that disturbs him greatlj ' . It is this : Does that which is known to the world, and which is acknowledged to be of vast importance, need recording ; or, does the greatness and importance of a thing call for a history equally great and lengthy ? Some say the first, some the last. If the greatness of the fact and the manner in which it is to be recorded stand in inver.se proportion, then the history of igoi would never be written. For, truly, our greatness is exceeded by that of no other bod}- of men. On the other hand, if a great class calls for a corre.spondingly great history, it would require years and volumes to tell of the achievements of our Class. For, truly, we are a great class. Who among us will deny it ? So, what is a poor historian to do, standing between two such questions, and questions of such vital importance? Why, he ' 11 do what all his- torians do, — give an authentic, .scientific, philosophical, truthful, unbiased state- ment of the facts, in order to show why we are such a great force in life, and then let the public form its own opinion as to what we are, what we have done, what we are doing, and what we are going to do. We began our Soph year by appointing ourselves a Fall Campaign Com- mittee, and looking after the new arrivals. We had a Soph banquet, displayed our wit and humor, and had a better time than any class ever had before, or has had since. On Athletic Daj ' , we won everything worth winning, making a score of forty-eight points, twelve points more than any other class. We al.so smoked as much tobacco and cut as many recitations as any Soph class that ever went before us. 32 In our Junior 3 ' ear, we made the best orations ever made at Davidson College, and we feel safe in saying that none in the future will equal them. We won two football games, and no other team in College would play us. Truly, we are a great class. And now we are vSeniors. From fifty-four, we have grown to twenty-four. What we have lost in num- bers we have made up in learning, dignity, and mental greatness. The Faculty are especially fond of us. They realize that we have done the College good and that we will be missed when we leave. We are also great favorites with the ladies. They say that ours is the best class that ever came to Davidson College. The under classes hold us in high esteem — in short, we are a great cla.ss ! And surely this high opinion is merited. Never before has there been such a Senior Class in College, and college life certainly seems to be in a prosperous condition. Athletics are in better condition than they have ever been before. The College football team won more importatit victories last season than ever in its history, and six of the regular players on that team were Seniors. Never did a choir sing so divinely as the chapel choir does now, and that choir is composed entirely of Seniors. The Magazine is in as good hands as ever before. vSmith is not ovily a man of literary ability, but is perfectly familiar with the questions of the da} ' . Johnston is an excellent manager, and can bluff the Observer Printing Company with greater ease than anj ' of his predecessors. The inventive genius flourishes in Mclntyre as it has never done in a Senior of former years. Never has there been in College an orator who could orate as John Bunyan does. Is not Husty Wait the prince of musicians? Our Class challenged any and all teams to meet us on the gridiron during football season, and none dared try it. At the present writing the Senior baseball team has the highest percentage in the Class baseball series. The truth is, my reader, we are a great class ! It is claimed by some outsiders that more mischief was done in the two years that 1901 was Fresh and Soph than during any other two years for ages past. This may be true, or ma) ' not be true, still even the report adds to our fame. We have tried to avoid all appearances of boasting and conceit in this history, and have attempted to make it unbiased and absolutely correct. And now as we are about to depart, we bid you all a long good-bye : old Chapel, reci- tation rooms, campus, visits to Charlotte, Commencement, and all, — we bid you farewell. Though you remember us no more, we shall ever have a tender place in our hearts for you. And when we pass beyond the,se walls and enter the struggling, tumultuous Life, may we have our courage strengthened, our zeal renewed by the familiar notes, so often cheering us on to battle, ' ive la, vive la, 1901 ! 33 Class propbecs, 1901. I seek thy aid for this prophetic song Muse ; and thou Cassandran shade, who criedst Unmarked in Trojan streets, vouchsale thy help To tliy presumptuous son, and give my words Due weight. From thee I wish to know the fate Ordained before, of twenty-three who stand At life ' s beginning. What first, what last will be Their lot as they advance through life to death ' s Unending sleep? Of Morris I sing. His head Is bowed with fifty years, and is as slick As onions, which the farm girl peels off clean, And wipes with dirty dishrag, as all the while Her eves weep sympathetic tears. Ah, gone, Forever gone is ruddy health, and fallen Is ruddy hair. A rustic squire, he spends His life away from din of cities, and hunts The fox and timid hare; not long ago He fell from off his horse and struck his nose Against a root; the doctor had to cut It off (which much improved his looks) ; his friem 1 ween, would never recognize him now. Scouring noseless and hairless o ' er wood And thorny dale. To Phonie now 1 turn My lay, than whom the gods created none Of lower height among the twenty-three ; His thoughts were ever turned on women whom He held as angels ; mark, I pray, his fate. His wife was of stupendous size ; her height Was six feet three, her weight one eighty-four. One day, while he expatiated on will. And fate, and life to come, she disagreed With him, and, worried m ich with borcsonie talk, And argument of man ' s supremacy ( Supported by St. Paul), she flung him down The stairs, and hurt his head, cracked long before. 34 D. ScHENCK pursued ambition ; annals yet To come will breathe his name. With deep insight Into the evils of this land, he saw That kings must reign, and saw as well that he Must be the first. He thought that kings should be Elected, and ran as candidate ; his name Will be renowned, for six gave him their votes For this high office ; but ' tis said that two Of them were bribed. Somewhere among the hills Of Upper Carolina, Ralph C. Deal, A briefless lawyer earns a livelihood By quirks, and quips, and cranks which please The rustic people. After many days Of toilsome drudgery, he carries home A sack of flour, across the high red hills And glories in his heart as one who has Done much for wife and home. Jack Dunn became An author, and wrote a book entitled, On Lnve By letter; Or, How to Correspond With Girls. ' By it were many young men led to love And happy marriage. He himself was skilled In this great art, and knew tn tame the maiden Of chariest heart by wile and blandishment DupuT is of aristocratic birth ; In France ' s palmy days liis fathers blacked King Louis ' shoes, and this makes him born Of noble blood ; rememb ' ring this high birth Dupuy returned to France, and there makes clogs For low-born peasants. Fktzer married soon ; They spent in concord long and blissful lives. As milkman in his native town he earns His bread ; his voice oft heard on perilous edge Of football battle, when his rattled line Was swaying in defeat, now rings the cr} ' Of Milk for sale around the empty streets. We all have read how Paris judged the prize AVhen godde.ss begged his vote witli pose and bribe ; On this account befell much woe to Trov And Carthaginian Dido. Greater task is mine To tell of wars on Southern plains, when strife Was waged to settle claims of Bondinot Against the athletic Hitie. Lincolnton Maintained that she had reared a man of more Conceit than earth had ever seen ; this claim Atlanta met with equal pride, and swore That never -et was Huie matched in point Of vanity. Now the tight is on ; from out Before the lines advance the adverse chiefs With swaggering tread ; the doughty Bnndinot Bf-neath him casts his searching eyes and mark? Where Huie stands ; he hurls a weighty rock Whistling through the air; but Huie dodging. Returned a stone which would have reached the head Of oidinary men ; Jo gave a leap And made the missile pass beneath his feet. Meanwhile the elders of the towns had met And voted for peace at any price. The battle ceased Wilh doubtful issue; boasting victory, each Returns tenfold more proud thau e ' er before. I weep for Lanxie who was sent to preach Among the Anthropophagi ; they had Forthwith a barbecue, and took his brains Before their king who relished such ragout. The king beheld the thimbleful and ?wore That he was robbed of his just dues, and killed Two uoble dudes to make as big a fry As that from normal men. McClintock moved Out West and raised innumerable flocks of goats And bleating kids ; and when he died, his wife And twenty children could not be consoled For his departure McIntyke was crossed In hoiieless love. In a backwoods town His anvil rings with steady swing from morn Till dusky twilight ; still, when forge is cold, And silence reisns around his sooty shop, He sits bim pensive down on wooden bench And dreams of what his lot had been if fate Had smiled propitious. Dark and drear is life To him, and death will claim him broken-hearted. McLeod became book agent, kicked from (h To door by irate farmers.

Resolved, Second, That a division of all that is grand, noble, good, brave, and exemplary be made as follows : 1. The Class, as a whole, will leave its knowledge of Logic and Greek to the instructors in the.se two branches of learning, in order that there may be something left for them to teach to those who may come after. 2. Watt, H., and Deal will leave their modesty and bashfulness to be divided equally among the members of the Junior Cla-ss. Chedester will leave ten inches of his surplus height to be divided between Messrs. Spencer and Bennett, Spencer to receive .six inches, Bennett four inches. Johnston, J. B., will leave ten pounds of surplus flesh to be divided between Fetzer, B., and Bailey, J. S., these gentlemen to draw straws for the larger .share. 3. Mclntyre, Craig, and Wharton will leave their beautiful voices to Messrs. Coit, Brown, J. D., and Richardson. Fitzpatrick and Dunn, J. F., will leave their tireless energy and love for work to be divided equally among the members of the Freshman Class. Meacham will leave his sobriety of deportment to McPherson. Sherard will leave his old jokes to Dr. Shearer. 4. Messrs. Watt, W., and McEeod will leave part of their stock of smiles to Dr. Harrison. Matthews will leave his nobility to Dr. Smith. Messrs. Sloop and Reid will leave their knowledge of math to Professor Douglass. Caldwell, M. M., will leave his hair-dye to Professor Matthews (This gentleman had scarlet fever when quite young and it settled in his hair). Patrick will leave part of his whiskers to Dr. W. J. Martin. Dupuy (by special request ) will leave his knowledge of Greek to Mr. P. C. Du Bose of the Junior Class. 38 5. Messrs. Sikes and Newell will leave their sportive festiveness to Messrs. Wilhelm and Gourdin. Fetzer, M., and Huie will leave their knowledg:e of French in the care of Dr. Grey to be disposed of as he sees fit. Mr. Smith will leave all his stock of puns to Mr. Coit. Mr. McClintock (by special permi.ssion ) shall be allowed to carry off with him all that he has gained since entering this institution. Resolved, Third, That a committee of five be appointed by the President of this Class (1901) to return next fall at the opening of the College and assist Dr. Smith in getting things in running order. m c:o . Dusky hair and eyes of gray, A winsome smile and a fetching way, That keeps you troubled night and day, Has this sweet little maiden of mine. .Small and petite and full of grace, A loving heart and a beautiful face, The kind of a creature to lead you a race, Before she ' 11 name the time. Hut sooner or later she ' 11 name the day, Or else I ' m here forever to stay, U V For she ' 11 get rid of me in no other way ' ' ' Than promising to be mine. 39 Library of Davidson College « f, 1 . s- : Senior Soli(oqu . OLD BOREAS is howling ' round the corners of Eu. Hall and moaning dis- mally through the bare oaks. With a shriek of fury he drives the winter rain against my window, as he wrestles in vain with shutters and sash, and then, with a low sob and wail, retires, only to renew the onslaught with still greater fierceness. A beastly night, I remark to my fire, as I shudder and dump on more coal. Then, wrapping my lounging robe closely around me, I drop into my easy-chair, stretch my feet towards the cheerful blaze, and prepare to pay my devotions to the goddess Nicotine before setting down to my night ' s work. Ah, now. indeed, have I found my faithful old friend, ever true, ever ready in time of need, a sure comforter in time of trouble. What man will care for the howling wind and driving rain when he has a cheerful fire at his feet, a bit of amber clenched between his teeth, and a box of fragrant weed at his elbow? Blessed be the man who invented sleep, and Thrice blessed be the man who invented the pipe. As I slowly puff away, and send the fragrant wreaths chasing one another towards the ceiling, my eyes fall upon a picture over my mantel, which brings many recollections, both happy and sad. A lady ' s picture? Not much ! The picture of old ' ' nineteen one ' ' in her Freshman days. And as I gaze upon the picture, soiled and dirty (having been in the same spot and unframed for more than three years) , it starts a chain of memories. How well do I recall the day when we arrived at Davidson — a green, suspi- cious lot of Freshmen ! And what man in the lot will forget our first Class meet- ing ? How we fought the Sophs, hand-to-hand, both in the old Chapel and the Commencement Hall, and elected our first Class officers — Jim Walker, Top Brown and Tubby Mills? Ye gods, what a trio ! Every football team on the campus, except the Meds, beat us that year. In snow time we were scarce and hard to find, and — Ah ! can it be, that the dignified Peg, the brave Duck, or the valiant Monk ever ran, as though for their lives, from a howling, shrieking mob of Sophs? Faith, I can see them now! It all passed, however, and we found ourselves Sophomores before we could realize it. Trul}-, a year to be remem- bered. Our Soph banquet ! In my mind ' s eye I can seethe crowd now, gathered around the long, heavily ladened table ; ' ' John Peter ' ' in all his glory, ' ' Peacock ' ' working his jaw like a talking machine. Glorious night ! And then Athletic Day, when Jeff Adams walked off (or, rather, ran off) with everything worth having. Oh, we ran the college that year ! 41 A Soph is great, but a Junior — words fail to express it. My memory flies lightly along until Junior speaking checks its flight. Frightened? Oh, no ! Not in the least : very nice aff ' air ; really enjoyed it ; hope it will come again. But that ' s all past, and now we are Seniors. Goodness gracious ! Realize it if you can ! Can you, even by a stretch of the imagination, conceive of Phony Chedester as a Senior? And Reed Smith, Monk Fetzer, Reddy Deal, Banks McClintock, Morris Caldwell, and twenty others of that crowd of green, suspicious Freshmen in the same fix ? How time does fly ! But we ' re Seniors now, and we ' re running things up here — with the Faculty ' s assistance. Only a few months and we ' 11 leave these old halls, possibly forever. The old Chapel and Tammany will be torn down soon ; Elm Row and Oak Row. Wonder where the boys will loaf after Baskin leaves ; Husty won ' t be in his room, either ! Where k ' the boys — Oh, thunder ! I forgot the boys would be gone, too. Yes, a few months more and old nineteen-one will be out in the world— Husty, and Fitz, and Bull Calf, Watkins, Reddy, Jack, Dud, Sloop, and the whole push. Well, such is life ; still I hate to leave the old College. We ' ve had some royal old times here. Many a tale might the campus tell could it but talk. And what times we have had at commencement — Ah, commencement ! And through the haze of tobacco smoke I see a score of smiling faces, at first dimly, then clearly and more clearly, until all can be recog- nized. Blue eyes, brown eyes, and gray eyes ; sad eyes, laughing eyes, and devilish eyes ; light hair and dark hair ; blonde and brunette. Could we ever have a commencement without them ? Well, hardly ! Here ' s to you, sweet creatures ; God bless you ! And as I look into a pair of brown eyes I — bang ! goes my door as my room-mate stumbles in and slams the door behind him. Well, I ' 11 be jiggered if you haven ' t let the fire go out and the lamp, too ! You have been asleep I . Nonsense, I reply, sharply, as I knock the ashes out of my pipe, and, slowly stretching my arms over my head, glance at my clock. Holy smoke ! Fifteen minutes after twelve o ' clock -German, English and Logic to-morrow — I iintst have been asleep. 42 Junior Class ©roantsation. D. V. Richardson Roy Roseman . A. E. Spencer W. R.

TX the days of Jolm Bunyan, of the house of iShefirer, the rulers of the College called Davidson held a council and issued an invitation to every one who was heavily ladened with ignorance, and who thirsted after knowledge, to come up to the fountain of learning and there drink deep for the cost and the diffen nee. Many were called, but few accepted, for in those da ' s there was a fever in the land, and the people feared lest they would take the fever and die. But a few of the people were more foolhardy, and went up to seek after these .strange tilings. And in the land of red mud and potato patches, they elected as consul for that year P. Cassius DuBose, and for pro-consul S. Eurutheus Hodges. These men were of the pristine type, and lorded it over the tribe after the manner of those in high places, for the people were strangers in a strange land, and wist not how to avoid the.se things. And, also, the chief rulers of the College did severely be.set the chosen few, and did l)ara.ss and vex them in man)- and divers ways, for they required heavy tasks of the peojile by laying a burden of what was termed a passing mark on every branch, consisting of sixty pounds extra, and this, together with the load of natural inborn ignorance, was more than .some of the people could bear, and many fell bj- the wayside on account thereof. A very few of the people grew in stature and in learning in this strange land, and flourished and waxed exceeding mighty, and bear in addition to the thing, a passing mark, much more — some thirty and nine and .some forty pounds. But, as a whole, the people were oppressed, for the rulers of the Col- lege were wicked men ; and when the wicked rule, the people mourn. The people, that they might have .something they could understand, wor- shiped a strange god, whose priest is Woolly Pu.ss, and he taught them to say, Per angusta ad aiigicsta, and said this charm would keep them from the demons Ut Clause and Cum Clau.se, and many other marvelous and terrible things. So, the people followed him, and lo ! he was a tempter, for he led them into snares and entrapped them in a haze of construction, and grunted and winked at their di.scomfort like a fiend incarnate. But there was no balm in Gilead, for the way of the transgressor is hard. And now a year being passed in this place, the peoiile cho.se as consul J. Sestius Rowe, and for pro-consul R. Thorntius Coit. In the consulship of the.se men the people did not suffer .so much from either the petty or chief rulers, for they grew wise in their own conceit, after the manner of Sophomores, and 48 instructed the Freshmen in the art of song and stor}-, and anointed them with the water of humihty. Now, these doings came to the ears of one Bill Joe, tribune of the plebes, and he convoked an assembl} ' of the people, and, with much talk, said unto tliem : Hearken unto me, O 3 ' e Sophomores, and listen unto my voice, O people ! If a man glideth into my hen-coop in the dead hour of night and snaggeth there- from my bantam rooster, or purloineth my game cock, with the greatest felicity would I give unto him a charge from my two-barrelled gun loaded with dynamite and ton timber. Have I given unto you. O people, the football in vain? I said unto the high priests, ' Give the people a football to play with and they will turn from their evil way and leave the Freshmen be. ' Now. will you bring me into disrepute and make of me a prophet without honor in his own country ? As I would do unto the roller of chickens, so will I do — and more — unto that one who shall hereafter molest the Freshmen or destroy College property. And i n addition thereto, I will take from you the football, and so long as the grass grows, and the water flows, and the sun rises and sets, you shall play it no more forever ' ' So, the liearts of the people were sad on account of this thing, and dissen- sion grew out of it, because part of the people wanted to play with the football, and part with the Fresh. But, finally, the lovers of football played by day and those who had the welfare of the Fresh at heart played by night, and there was peace in the land once more. The people next became high-minded by looking at one Long John, who is prone to fold his hands in a little more sleep, and they ran after him like sheep unto the slaughter. But woe unto them for seeking to attain to such eminence, for Long John did expand them by the bi nomial theorem, and bumped their hypotenuse on Pons Assinorum, and belabored them with truncated prisms and parallelopipeds until there was great weeping in the land, the people mourning for sixties, and would not be comforted, because they were not. So, the people were sore and greatly taken down on account of this thing, and ceased from following after Long John, who returned to his downy couch, to the bosom of Morpheus, for a little more sleep, for a little more folding of his arms in slumber. Now, a siren voice was heard in the land, and the people listened to it and were enchanted, because it told of the speed of the moonlight, the sunlight, and the stars ; of how far away are the sun, the planets, and Mars ; of the vibration periods of pianos, violins, and guitars ; of the age of stone, and how to make brick ; of how many molecules in the head of a pin, and how thick ; of the won- ders of the X-Ray, the Geissler tube, and a perfect storage cell ; and how manj ' calories of heat are generated by the fires of . So, the people went in to see this strange being who sang so much, and with never a change of tune, nor a break. And it was only Harry Louis, who was expounding exactly and precisely how he started with a battery furnishing fifty volts of electricity ; how 49 -18 he used up two hundred volts in overcoming ohms, and still had the same battery furnishnig an li. M. F. of sixty volts. This may be math, according to Long John ; it may be logic, according to Tommie, and it may be science, according to Harry Louis ; but the people believed it not, and left this prattling fountain of music, which never runs dry, and never dries up, to prattle on, and went roaming over the land seeking whom they could devour. And as they went, behold they saw a joke riding upon a gray horse, the same which the Wandering Jew bestrode during his .sojourn upon earth ; but the rider was older than the .steed. The people followed the gray horse and its rider and he led them into the lecture-room of Old Puss, and there the people rested and were content, for while Old Puss doth deal out hoary-headed jokes with no stinting hand, yet is he right merry and jovial withal. Now, D. Wilson Richardson and R. Rufus Roseman being consuls, we are resting on our oars at Kadesh-Barnea, having fought li. hl well our way in all manly gnmes. One year hence is the appointed time for the crossing into the land of corn and wine, where sheepskins are worn as clothing and college diplomas are the stock in trade. There may we dwell a happy and contented people, for there the wicked will cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. ,50 ®ri3ani3ation Class 1003. lPrc6l cnt. V. H.

And here we would halt for a moment to correct a wide-spread error. The word. Sophomore, does not mean a ' ' wise fool, as is popularly believed, but it is derived from two words meaning more wise — tliat is more wise than he was as a F ' re.shnian. The Class of 1903 entered college under most auspicious circumstances if we remember the old adage that a bad beginning makes a good ending. On the seventh of September, 1899, the hearts of the Faculty — and of the Sophomores — were gladdened by the sight of the largest class of Freshmen seen upon the campus for several years. At that time we numbered fo rty-eight men. all lonely, homesick, unsuspecting Freshmen, and nowhere could one of these fort3--eight men find a safe place to lay his head. Wherever seen he would immediately become the target for innumerable gibes, and — would that were all ! But there is no u.se in disguising the sad truth, and in dressing up our persecutions so as to make them appear as gibes P ' or during .several long weeks the Sophomores outdid themselves — all the tortures in common u.se among Sophomores were employed, and many more were invented for our particular benefit. Since a chair of music had not yet been endowed, each of the Sophomores undertook to train us along that line and certainly no other branch of our educa- tion was .so well developed, or .so much practiced, as our musical talent ; we sang, we danced, we whistled, and we declaimed. This we afterward found to be a blessing in di.sgui.se, and in a very effective disguise, for many of us have become very proficient in the.se arts. But for fear that by recounting all our sufferings and persecutions, I should move my gentle readers to tears, and also because I my.self am not able to speak of this period of our history without great emotion, let us hasten on to .something more joyful. Persecution can not overcome the spirit of liberty- This has I)een shown in all history and was again exemplified in our case. ,So four days after our -56 entrance, while the Sophomores were at class, we met in the Old Chapel and elected H. H. Caldwell to the responsible position of president of the Class of 1903. J. H. McLane was elected vice-president, with T. P. Sprunt, secretary and treasurer. We had not time to decide upon a definite yell, but to let the Sophs know that we were now a unit, and to show our disdain for their cow- ardly proceedings, we startled them with Hey ho! Hi ho! Kip, rah, ree ! D. C, N. C , Niiieteen-three! In the classroom we found many difficulties which the most of us sur- mounted safely, though some few fell by the wayside. None of us could be termed indefatigable students though taken as a whole we did excellent work. In the Phi Society, lisle) ' Boone bore off the declaimer ' s medal. But it was left for us to win a name for ourselves in the athletic world. After being here only a few days we were challenged to play a game of baseball with the Sophomores, who evidently thought that it was a soft snap, but they were sadly mistaken for the game resulted in a score of 1 1 to 5 in favor of the Freshmen. Lured on b) ' the whispering voice of that siren, Hope, they again challenged us, and were again beaten, this time by a .score of 14 to 6. In another game, we played them a tie. We plaj ' ed only one game of football during our Fresh year. This was with the Meds who had one of the strongest teams in College. Hardly au) of our men had ever before seen a football game, and we were beaten by a score of 5 to o. Two of our men were on the regular College football team, and one was a substitute. We had one man on the College baseball team and also one sub- stitute. These men took in the Charleston trip. Though some of us were poor in other athletic exercises, yet almost all, without an exception, were expert horsemen. We practiced this exercise most assiduously, and with a pon ' to ride upon very few of us will be found wanting when the general roll is called. After the Christmas holidays, the time passed rapidly and almost before we were aware of it. Field-day was upon us. Though we took off few prizes on this day, yet we had no rea.son to be a.shamed of the record of 1903. Our Freshman year closed on the Saturday night before commencement and the transformation from the grub to the butterfly was attended by .severe bodily pains as many of us can testify. Thus we bade adieu to the old College for three months. In the fall of 1900, the campus again echoed with our yell, though now a great change had taken place since the last time we gave it. It was now not quite so loud, for we had lost thirteen men, but this time there was no note of fear in it, but rather of coming triumph. But be it said to the credit of 1903 that we adhered very strictly to our pledge and very little actual hazing took place (the student body having taken the matter up). But we now saw some things walking around the campus, the very sight of which rou.sed our anger, and we soon gave the Fresh to understand that we were their natural lords and masters and that they must keep their places. Of course we gibed at them, and we have heard it darkly hinted that there were several narrow escapes from the neighboring potato fields, and we have also heard it said that there were ghostly races around the campus. We naturally despi.sed a Fresh and put on such a fierce appearance when one was around that the Fresh would tip their hats to us even more politely than to a professor. But as this class easily learned their position and as very few seemed inclined to rebel from our sovereign rule we did not require a great deal of them. It is needless to say that during this year we have worn the usual insignia of a Sophomore —corduroys, sweaters, and pipes. At a meeting held early in the fall we elected W. H. Kirkpatrick, president of the Class. J. S. Bailey was elected vice-pre.sident, with A. L. Mills, secretary and treasurer. In ba.seball this year we have been entirely successful though we lost several of our best players. We played the Freshmen three gunes, the scores of which were as follows : 22 to 2, in favor of Sophs ; 10 to 4, in favor of Sophs ; and 24 to s in favor of Sophs. We also played the town and beat them 12 to 4. The reader may doubtless see from this imperfect narrative, that the hi.story of 1903 has been a quiet but very noteworthy one. We have been useful in many ways, to the Fresh no less than to the rest of the student body — in fact we have been indispensable to the Fresh, and in many other ways we have endeavored to live up to our motto, Prodesse quam conspici.

BEFORE attempting to write a history of the Class of 1904, the historian desires to express his inability of doing justice to the members of one of the most promising Freshman Classes Davidson College has had in j-ears. On September 6th, 1900, there gathered together on our campus one of the largest classes in the history of Davidson. From time immemorial when the F ' reshnian made his first appearance on the campus, he has always been welcomed in the traditional way ; but thanks to the stand taken by the student body, we are glad to say that this year we have been made to feel perfectly at home, excepting of course, the occasional gibing by the noble Soph, which is the least that could be expected of him. Naturally, when it snows, we suddenly find out that we are sick and that it would be extremely unhealthful to venture out to our meals and classes. Although we have been blessed by very little snow so far, we feel that we have had our share, and, as the prayer of the righteous availeth much, we hope to have no more. We are very proud of the fact that we fooled the Sophs, and organized on the night of our arrival, this being the earliest Freshman Class organization in the history of the College. As we did not know exactly what the Sophs would do if they cauglit us having a meeting, we secretly passed the word around in the afternoon and at eight o ' clock met in the woods near the College. Apprehen- sion prevailed lest our enemy, the Soph, should discover our whereal)outs. Spies were posted and proceedings were carried on with as much silence as pos.sible. After electing temporary officers and selecting a yell, we stealthily made our way back to the campus. Then indeed did the classic walls of David.son echo and re-echo with, Vlioo)i-la-ruli ! Sis-lioom-bnli ! JJlue ajid Gray ! Rah ! Hah ! ! llali ! ! ! Boom-a-laoker ! Boom-a-Iacker ! Buoma-la I ho! D. C. N. C, 1904 ! After we had thus covered ourselves with glory, we speedily sought a more agreeable climate. A few days later we met in the Old Chapel and made a permanent cla.ss organization, electing the following officers ; F. L. Black, president ; George R. McNeil, vice-president ; H. G. Team, secretary and treasurer ; Natt T. Wagner, historian. 64 As our space is somewhat limited, we can not fully express our sincere grati- tude to the Young Men ' s Christian Association and town people for the reception given us a few nights after our arrival, thus giving us an opportunity to be intro- duced into the social life of the town. We are also indebted to the upper class- men for the interest shown us at the reception. In athletics, we have not been very fortunate as yet, but with Morse as manager and Hutchin.son as captain, we are confident of having a baseball team that we shall feel proud of. As there were no class football teams gotten out this year, we were unable to show what we could do on the gridiron. As for track athletics, we are sure to do our part as we have done in everything else. On the College teams, we are represented by one man in football, one in baseball, and one on the track team. We have also directed our attention to the training of the mind as well as that of the body. In society work, it is very gratifying to note the rapid progress made by some of our Class. The number of those who aspire to the declaimer ' s medal is a sure sign of the interest taken in society. There are quite a number of candidates for the ministry in our Class, most of whom are beginning their life work Ijy teaching in the neighboring Sunday- schools. Nearly all the members of our Class belong to the Young Men ' s Christian Association, several of whom take a prominent part. We are represented by three men in the College Mandolin and (xuitar Club and one in the College Glee Club. With this I will conclude the attempted history of our Class, hoping that in the future we will be as successful as in the past. If the fates be propitious, we hope by perseverance to keep the ' ' Blue and Gray ' ' in the front rank of College life, and ever believing in our motto, Tentare est Valere.

J Of his earlj- life we know nothing, except that he took a creditable W I stand at the college at Urumiah, and was accounted the best wrestler. Under great difficulties, he came to America about six years ago. His family being much oppo.sed to his coming, it was only through the influence of his uncle and teacher, Rev. I. N. Vonan, that permission was obtained. His first impression of America was gained through the windows of a hospital, where he was confined for a month by severe illness. Two years were spent at Pantops Acadeni} ' , where he studied well, and won several good-conduct medals. He entered Davidson in the fall of ' 96, and was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1900. Had he been permitted to carry out his plans for preparing himself to return to Persia as a medical missionary, several more years of his life would have been a,s.sociated with Davidson, but, while attempting to rescue a friend, on July 12th, 1900, David Vonan was drowned in the Catawba River. Friends loved him, and acquaintances admired and respected him, for he was a man and a Christian, noble not only by birth but in all the instincts of true and perfect manliness. 67 IN ME,MORIAM AHABEG DAVID YONAN Born, Urumiah, Persia, Died.

BORN, December nth, 1878 ; drowned, July i2tli, 1900. Fred was the only child of A. L. and L,. L. Hobbs, and was born near Mooresville, North Carolina on December nth, 1878. When two years old, his parents moved to Davidson. At the age of seven, Fred entered the Davidson High School, which he attended until his seventeenth year, when he entered the I ' reshman Class at Davidson College. After two years at college, Fred decided to take up the study of medicine and on January ist, 1899 he entered the North Carolina Medical College at Davidson, North Carolina. He was intending to finish his course in medicine at that institution ; but was drowned in Catawba River July 12th, 1900, while attending a Sunday-school picnic. When in College, Fred was recognized as a leader in athletics, and on the baseball ground was excelled by none. He was a bright student, a true friend, and a faithful companion. Fred was a member of Fairview Methodist Church located at Mount Mourne, North Carolina. His life and memory rest with us, ■ ' And love will last as pure and whole As when he loved us here in Time, And at the spiritual prime liewttken with the dawning soul. 70 Ku Mcmoriam.

There was case in Billjos manner as he stepped into his place, There was pride shown in liis bearing, and no smile was on his face. When he stroked his bushy whiskers, and shook his auburn hair. No Fresh Med in the crowd could doubt that old Billjo was there. A hundred eyes were on him as he lit a jet of gas, Twoscore necks stretched like rubber as he ranged some tubes of glass ; And then he showed the Meds and Sophs how oxygen could be Made from mercuric oxide and from KCLO... Then, after he had shown us all how hydrogen is made, A big jar of mixed gases on the table he displayed ; He told us they ' d explode if mixed and heat applied. And emphasized his statements with some gestures very wide. To demaiid our close attention, like a speaker on the stump. He pounded on the table with a very vicious thump. He went on with his lecture, and right royally he frowned, As he told things quite new to us and waved his arms around. 83 But as he kept on telling us of things we did not know. B_v accident he gave that jar of gas a mighty blow ; And to the great delight of every member of the class It threw the gas jar ' s mouth across the blazing jet of gas. The jar was blown to atoms, and Billjo backward fell, And many were in hopes that he had been blown up to Heaven (?) But quickly he arose and said, ' Tis well that you were shoired How violently oxygen and hydrogen explode.

I plucked line morn a fair while rose, T was bathed in crystal dew ; And as it lay in graceful pose, Its song of life I knew. It told me liow that some are pure While many wander ' way ; That some the world can ne ' er allure From out the light of day- And as 1 felt its petals yield Heneath a gentle stroke, I thought of the power that some hearts wield ■Who wear Love ' s peaceful yoke. But soon that flower drooped its head, Its sweet pure life was gone ; But with me live the words niisaid, Which words I proudly own. ' T is so with men — they live, they die ; But cling, O soul, to the precious thought. That Love, immortal, cleaves the sky. While Evil comes to naught. 124 En Hutumn Htternoon. a Dream. TSAT on a low stool beside the window of my room : my Homer lay open on my lap, and a formidable Greek lexicon reposed on the window seat at my side. For some reason my Greek lesson dragged heavily this afternoon ; never before had the stateh measure of Homer ' s verse so little impressed me, never before had the stirring record of the combats of gods and heroes appeared so tasteless and stale as to-day. And why ? Perhaps the answer to that question lay partly in the scene which stretched broad and fair beneath my wnndow, and upon which my tired eyes rested so wistfully as I raised them ever and anon from the page. In truth I had no mind to studj ' , on this bright autumn afternoon ; to wander off into the happy autumn fields and gather the golden-rod and purple asters, then in all their glory, would have been a far more congenial occupation than digging out these musty Greek roots, and even the tow-headed children pelting each other with new-mown hay on the meadow without seemed worthier objects of contemplation than the m ore dignified con- tests on the field of Troy. Some such barbaric and unscholarly musings flitted through my brain as my head sank listlessly upon my folded arms and the heavy lids dropped over my eyes. For a moment I drifted aimlessly on a sea of hazy thought, and then 1 .start up in astonishment and look around. The forest crowned hills of my native State have suddenly sunk into level plains, yellow with the ripening harvest. The pale grey autumn sky has darkened to that peculiar deep blue .shade only seen in Southern heavens ; the sun has gone backward in his journey and now .shines upon me with noonday fervor. The same magic touch has transformed the low window-seat of my little room to a stairway of dazzling white marble leading upward to a gorgeous palace. Through the open windows floats out to me a strain of unearthly melody, and as its first notes strike my ear, a strange new consciousness pervades my being, and I suddenly know that I stand beneath the blue skies of ancient Greece, and that I am come hither to witness a scene the most splendid and most fateful that ever poet sang. The most splendid, for even the gods descended from Olympian heights to look upon it ; the most fateful, for here were sown those seeds of dis- 127 cord which bore fruit in the ruin of Troy. L,o ! it is the marriage day of Peleus, king of Thessaly, and he weds the lovely Thetis, fairest of the daughters of Ocean. With footsteps which make no sound on the marble stair, I move upward to the great arclied doorway, and passing through unhindered, I find myself in a majestic hall. The floor is paved with a mosaic of richly colored stones ; the wall is hung with tapestry upon which strange mysterious pictures are wrought in gold, and a thousand crystal lamps, hung from the ceiling by golden chains, outshine the brightness of the middaj- sun. But who would pause to examine the furnishings, however rich, were it given him to look upon the inmates of that room ! At its farther extremity rises a throne of massive dead white ivory, and upon it rc clines a majestic figure clothed in kingh garments. A mantle of wrought gold falls over his shoulders, a jeweled .sceptre is in his hand, and above his high white brow, among his ebon curls, rests a massive golden crown. Then I tremble, for I know that only one mouth wreathes with smiles so majestic and commanding, no other eye glows with so piercing, all subduing a flame, and only one brow in heaven or earth can bear the weight of that ponderous crown. Yes ; I stand in the presence of the king of the gods. Beside him on a smaller throne reposes a less majestic but not less beautiful figure. I think I should know her anywhere, if not by the regal splendor of her array and the golden crown which pres.ses heavily upon her shining curls, then by the cold light in her large blue eyes and the haughty smile which curves her finely arched lips. Ah, Hera I the (jueen of the gods, ;ind yet a very woman, and an ignoble woman, too. Just now, among the throng of immortal guests which fill the hill, her eye has singled out one object for its scornful gaze. Following the direction of her glance, I see standing a little apart from the rest, and leaning against a lofty pillar, a sombre yet beautiful woman ' s form. She is dressed in sable garments, and long loose black tres.ses fall over her .shoulders and on either .side of her sad, white face. No brilliant jewels lend color to her dark attire, but her robe is sown thick with tiny golden .stars, and the pale light of a silver crescent glinnners above her brow. Ah ! I know now why Hera ' s glance is so fiercel) ' scornful ; for this is L,atona, the night godde.ss, whose dark pure beauty won the love of Jove himself. The fire of passion has long since died out of those quiet eyes ; she does not even see the malignant glance of her rival ; her own is riveted upon the forms of her two fair children, Apollo, in all the splendor of manly beauty, and his pale-haired sister, Diana. Hand in hand, tiiex ' are advancing toward the ivory throne to salute their royal sire. Just then, the .sound of hor.ses ' feet make me turn away my fascinated eyes and look toward the window. I catch a fleeting glimpse of an ebony chariot drawn by coal black horses, and a moment after the doorwaj ' is darkened by a gloomy figure which seems to cast a shadow over all the brightness of the 128 hall. And well iiiaj- the crj ' stal lamps seem dimmer for his presence, for this is Pinto. I know him by the black mantle that envelops his form, by the heavy key he holds, the symbol of his inexorable power, and above all by the passionless smile which plays about his thin, firmly shut lips. I shudder involuntarily as his chilling glance wanders around the apartment and then falls for an instant upon the figure at his side. And who maj ' she be, this fair sad, being near him, whose yellow locks have grown pale for lack of the sweet sunshine in which they used to float ? Alas ! Persephone. That .sad eye tells all too plainly that that jeweled crown press es heavily upon the j-oung brow, and that all the gloomy splendors of her court but ill replace the flower-besprinkled fields of Enna, from whence she was so rudelj- snatched by her dark lord. And still they come ; my eyes are dazzled by the immortal light that floods the place. My heart already cries out for the common light of day, when sud- denly there flashes upon my sight one face and form of such ineffable loveliness, that for a moment all things else are blotted from my sight. Behold ! I have looked upon Aphrodite herself, the light of who.se azure eyes has overturned kingdoms and plunged the whole world in war. Oh, there is something terrible and unholy in that face, as she stands for a moment on the threshold and then with a movement as graceful as that of the waves from whence .she sprang, glides forward — moves toward me. White robes confined at the waist by a golden girdle float round her perfect form ; her golden hair gleams and flashes strangely before my sight ; a smiiC is on her lips more alluring than a siren ' s .song, and her eyes shine on me like two azure suns. Oh, I can not bear such unearthl ' beauty. With a low cry I cover my face with my hands, and turn to flee, when suddenly 1 awake to find the last rays of late sunlight streaming full in mv eves. 129 tni-iat the jficebman Saw. Out upon the campus green, A outh and maiden fair are seen ; ' I ' lie niniiii is shining briglit as day. As down a leafy shadowy way In silence sweet they slowly stray.

TT vS grand here, isn ' t it ? The voice was so quiet and seemed to accord I so perfectly with something in lier thouglits that Miss Roberts answered I dreamily, Yes; lovely, before she remembered that a moment before she had been quite alone. When she did remember, and turning recog- nized the man standing at her side, her heart may have throbbed a great throb, but to the man absoli;tely no emotion was visible in her manner as she rose and gave him her hand. One might have supposed from the tones that she had seen him only yesterday had the words not said .something conventional about an unexpected pleasure. She dropped back into her seat and let him measure his six feet on the grass by her side, but the pause that followed was rather too long for strict convention. There might liavc been a suggestion of awkwardness about it, but for the perfect quiet of the girl ' s manner as she gathered in her skirt changed her parasol to the other shoulder, and carefully turned down a page in her magazine before closing it. Then she remembered the next thing to say, and selecting a pale blue mountain a hundred miles away, fixed her eyes on it and asked when he came, and hoped he was quite well. I came an hour ago, he said, pleasantly, ignoring the frigid formality of her manner, and I ' m almost myself again, I believe, thank you. Something in his voice made her exchange the mountain for a nearer point of observation. ' Why, Mr. Marshall, you ' ve been ill! Why didn ' t you tell me? she asked, quickly, forgetting to temper her earnestness. Not very ill, — only ill enough to be ordered up here for rest. I did tell you as soon as you asked. There wasn ' t any hurry ? Oh, none whatever ! Yes, it is lovely up here, she added, as if contin- uing a previous conversation, and rested her eyes on the far-away mountain again. I wonder, he said, humoring her whim for small talk, I wonder if there ' s anything a woman couldn ' t de.scribe by that word, ' lovely, ' — anything from nice to grand? I ' ve never seen many occasions it wasn ' t equal to ! It ' s rather convenient to have a word always at one ' s command, you know. It saves trouble, and having spoken she left him to break the slight pause that follov.ed. 132 Miss Roberts, have yoii gotten used to it yet ? Used to it ? she repeated, I don ' t understand ? To the sarcasm, the insincerity, and the small talk. I remember meeting a young lady once who hated some of these things and shook her small fist at all society and its ways in supremest disgust. That was a year ago, she remembered, though it seemed rather long for only a year. I despise it, she said with simple emphasis. The tones satisfied him and the man ' s face brightened, though he, too, remembered that it had been a year and that a great many things might happen in a year. But he was glad she was the same. Glad because it flatters a man ' s vanity to have his judgment of a woman verified, and glad for another and better reason which made the thought of being disappointed in her cast a shadow the length of which he could not measure because it is impossible to measure life. I wonder if you ' d believe me if I were to tell you I never had those views we were talking about that night? I think I .should be glad to, Mr. Marshall. ' ' Then I wonder if you could forgive me, too ? ' ' Perhaps, she answered, dreamily. Miss Roberts, would you be so kind as to stop studying that mountain for one little minute and look at me ? Thank you. For a moment she looked into the eyes laid open for her to read. In that moment many things came back. That first dinner party a year ago, — every detail came back silently and vividly and in a moment ' s time. The salad had just gone, she remembered, when he had assured her smilingly that she ' d get u.sed to it all too soon. I hate it and I 7vo)i ' l, she had flashed back. And you hate me, too? he had added. Yes, she remembered saying, with all the earnestness of her indignation and candor of her inexperience. She was a very little girl that night and it was all so new and they had talked about so many, many things. It had really hurt her to hear him speak so affectionately of cynicism, so confidenth of all things insincere and hypocritical, — what a very little girl she had been until that night ! She remembered that after a time the hostess rose, and then she remembered, not when or where, but some one was asking some one else if they ' d noticed Marshall at dinner. Didn ' t know he had it in him, but he had that young being at his side in a perfect fever and believing all .sorts of yarns and stuff — Alex Marshall, the gen- tlest fellow in the set, cynical, isn ' t that rich enough ? And oh ! but she blazed away at him, too, for all she was worth, and that ' s a whole heap I Can ' t imagine what possessed Alex, unless, — were the words that came back to her. She had not stayed to hear the rest. Her head ached, and she feU dull. An hour ago she had been only a little girl and now she was wondering how old she might not be. After that night she had seen him many times but never alone, nor had she ever allowed him to refer in the slightest to the first evening of their acquaint- ance. Without stopping to question why she let him speak to-day, she reminded her inner spirit that she had not seen him since she came away for the summer three months before. As she read his eyes, all this came back in no longer time than a moment and she acknowledged again the humiliation of it all. But she had punished him in many ways during the year, and after all there was nothing malicious in the kind eyes looking so patiently into hers. Miss Roberts, he began, finally, do you hate me still ? Not very much, she smiled, gently, pulling down one of the ruffles on her parasol and glancing slyly back toward the mountain. Then you don ' t mind cynics any more ? he hesitated, wickedly. I hate them. But you said — Yes, so did you, .she finished, understandingly. Winnie, dear, I knew you ' d hold out. I ' m .so glad you aren ' t like the rest of them. Marshall spoke in a low voice and was settling himself into another position, whether nearer or farther from the ruffled .screen is a matter of conjecture. It s lovely here, isn ' t it? the girl mused, idly, as if the remark were original or the quiet summer .scene her only thought. It ' s odd, he remarked, parenthetically, what pretty nouns one can get out of a meaningless adverb, .sometimes, isn ' t it? Then a.s.sented, very tenderly, ' ' Yes, Love. ' ' Mr. Marshall, you are impertinent! ' Mademoi.selle protested, indignantly. Am I ? And you hate me again ? I didn ' t .say that, — you are very tantalizing to-day. There was a pau.se but it was short, for many things were yet to be said. WiiHiie, would you mind telling me why you refused five good men. if you hated nie ? began a man who had no curio.sity. My dear, sweetly returned the woman in whose mind that incomplete ' iinltss ' had rankled for a year, would you mind telling me why you choo.se to make a laughing stock of me before a crowd of strangers, if you loved me ? ' ' Well, call it a bargain, he said. And forthwith began an endless conver- sation. ' 34 Ebitovial. I li HA ' E obeyed the mandate of the student body and place before the A fl I public ' olume Five of Quips and Ckanks, and we pray you M B will deal gently with it. It means more to us than most books do, for we have seen it materialize from the first vague idea. Every page, nay every line, awakes a train of memories as it brings back to us sugges- tions of midnight oil, unprepared recitations, and various other happenings. It has been our endeavor to give a picture of our life as seen every day. It is not the work of a talented artist, but the feeble attempt of tho.se who have striven for flesh tints, and we present to our readers this volume. To the casual observer it may prove uninteresting, even dull (though wc trust not), but to the initiated, to whom it is allowed to read between the lines, every page is full of meaning. The yells of the excited rooter, the thrilling tones of the Junior orator, the tinkle and thrumming of the mandolin and guitar beneath the trees, the prome- nade commencement, the pleasure and gaiety of College life is all found here. But not these alone, for our life has its responsibility and earnestness as well as its pleasure, and this also can be found in these pages by those who can .see. And yon, Alumni, turn aside a moment from your troubles and worry of business life, and spend a night with us. Join once again in our old College songs, and rise to the health of Old D. C. And, lasth ' , we wish to thank those friends who have kindly assisted us in getting out this book. 135 S ILibrar ©roanisation. TLiLnaiv Cc mmlttee. Thomas P. Harriscin, Chainiian. R. C. Dkai. P.

[Special to the Kvciiin;; Telegnim.] Davidson, N. C, January 24th, 1901.— The hungrj- monster has been among us and has gnawed out the vitals of our once beautiful city. Along Main Street the scene is one of desolation, and the smoke arises and hangs like a pall over Potts ' s livery stable and McCul- lough ' s barber shop. The city market is gone up in smoke ; the millinery hub lies in ashes. The city was aroused at about S.SOif o ' clock a. m. (some say about 5. ' )1jL, but the first is probably more nearly correct), by a long- drawn shout from Mr. Graham. Some say that it was the factory whistle at Cornelius, but Dr. Graham used to hunt foxes in Virginia and should not be deprived of his honor. Anyway, immediately after the alarui John Boyof was heard lifting liis voice in prayer as he stood shivering in scanty attire behind Cranford ' s store. The roar of the tlanies wa dreadful, and the inhabitants who readied the scene clasjieil their hands in horror. Upon hearing the alarm, ilcConnell turned the ho e of the College fire engine out of his window, and, though about a half mile from the scene of action, a proud sense of duty well done filled his courageous heart. Soon a great throng filled the street. The costumes were various, but very effective. It is universally conceded, that Woolly (aiias Dr. Grey) deserved the palm. Verily, his appear- ance is said to have had a marked tendencv toward extinguishing the Hames. Great emergencies always produce great leaders, and on this occasion Dr. Smith came to the rescue. Having calculated in round numbers that each grain of F F G (Hazard or DuPont) powder contained two and one-half ergs of kinetic energy when .002 calories of heat were applied, then it would take 237, 1.54,- 789,012 grains to move Joe White ' s drugstore, which weighed about two hundred and sev- enty-five kilos. The store must be blown up, ordown, to stop the flames. While he was calculating, the flames were raging and Joe White was getting as far away as possible. Many daring rescues were made at this time. Some say that Ed Phifer lost his head , but he was seen coming out of his room with a skull under his arm. ' • Pontire made a dash and brought out a razor-strap together with a toothbrush he had borrowed .several days before. Major McLeod gallantly saved two lengths of 8tovepi]ie. The most daring rescue was made by Messrs. James Currie and Easley both members of the famous Class of 1904. When the fire was rag- ing at its fiercest, and iliss Lafterty ' s French Hazaar was vvrajiped in flames, Easley spied the dim outlines of a woman ' s figure through 139 the smoke. Heedless of the roaring flames and with a couiage surpassing that of the bat- tle-field he made his way to her. Clasping her firmly, yet tenderly, to his throbbing breast he made his way to the door. When he reached the door he was so excited that he ran across the street into llie grove heyond and put down his burden only when overcome by sheer fatigue. Then he discovered that it was the form — such as is used by dressmakers to drape garments on — and he shuddered. Having mounted astride of Major McLeod ' s house, Dr. Smith forgot hi. ; -o ec of blowing up .loe W ' hite ' s store anil exclaimed in his excitement, Now, boys, by Dick, we have it. Dr. Shearer is looking up the Hebrew root of the word and may institute charges. I ' uss ' ■ himself had no words to express the occasion and when the financial institution known as the ■ ' Soup House ' ' was endangered repeated in rapid succession. •• Nebuchad- nezzar, Tiglath-Pileser, Pharoah Necho. ' then in the next breath. ' • Will this lower the price of beef liver? r] on finding that it would, be ordered a carload for his boarders. Dr. Harding did not lose his head though he did suffer from his heart. He kept an eye open for bargains and purchased eight dozen tum- blers for his wife. Tommy ' • started to com- pose a sonnet to the devouring flame. , but when he reached the first line a cinder fell on his bare neck — be was eery negligee that morn- ing — and we are .still iii pleasant anticipation of what niight have been if it had not been for the spark. Thanks to tlie appearance of the Linden fire brigade, the town was saved and Dr. Grey did noi scratch his ear oft ' . Only one accident marred the pleasure of the occasion. In his hurry to reach the fire Schenck Craig put his trousers on vice versa and while exerting himself carrying an empty liucket he chanced to look down and thought tbat he was fatally twisted. He fainted on the spot. All was ijuiet. Only the smoke was ever wreathing itself into fantastic forms and fad- ing away. Then an ominous sound filled the earth, a blood-curdling, grating sound. The wiiidows rattled, the earth trembled. ■ ' Harry Louis, said that judging from the number of vibrations it was the growl of a polar bear, he ba ing killed one on bis balloon esijediliojL with Andre. He is the sole survivor of this expedition. ) ' ■ Woolly said that it sounded exactly like the tramping of theTenth Legion, but Dickey said that he was satisfied that it was a cow hooking his own dear Hob. ' • Tommy said that he had a va iue idea that it was near his home, and Bill Joe said that it was his wife calling hiin. They set out to search the whereabouts of the noise. On tin- way up street they passed Skit sitting on his housetop, even as a lone sparrow, but with a practised hand directing a stream on every spark as it appeared in reach. The unearthly sounds were finally found to proceed from Stewart ' s Inn, and on breaking down the door they found Long John ' jiearcfully snoring. 140 LETIC rDDT-BALL .

This was the first B 3ear that the team had a coach, and a fine record has it made for itself. The season opened with the overwhelming defeat of 64-0 by Clemson. Then Mr. Brewin, our coach, arrived, and everything was changed. Under his skillful and practiced handling the team rapidly took on new shape, and the eleven which piled up the .score of 38-6 on the Techs on Thanksgiving, was a very different one from that which played Clemson at the first of the season. Davidson has alwaj-s had good foo.ball material, but has never before had it developed. Here is 1900 ' s record : October 6th, at David.son — Guildford, o; David.son, 16. October loth. at Clemson — Clemson, 64 ; Davidson, o. November 12, at Charlotte — N. C. A. M., o ; David.son, 17. November 22d, at Charlotte — S. C. C, o; David.son, 5. November 2yth, at Augusta— Georgia Techs, 6 ; Davidson, -;8. In addition to these games, the Medical College team won two games — one against Oak Ridge, in Winston, 6-0 ; the other against WofFord College, in Spartanburg, 17-11. Also, the Davidson College Scrubs defeated the Deaf Mutes of Morgan- ton, 1 1-7. Thus Davidson put out three teams. Their combitied record is .seven out of eight games won, eighty-seven and a half per cent. Truly a record to be proud of. This season has taught Davidson many things in football, but none more clearly than that a coach is a sine qua non to a successful team. Proud though we are of our team ' s success, we are prouder still of its con- duct both on and off the field. It has always played a clean, .straightforward game — every team met this year says that ; and on every trip its members have conducted themselves as gentlemen. We can not close without a word of praise for the Scrubs. On them, as much as anything else, depends the College team ' s success, and much credit is due them. Credit is also due the rooters, who twice cheered our team to victory in Charlotte. After the team ' s return from Augusta, a most pleasant reception in honor of it and of Mr. Brewin was held in the Young Men ' s Christian Association Hall. It was most thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated, and as a fitting clo.se the David- son yell was given, which Qfips . nd Cranks heartily echoes : He ho ! hi ho ! Wah, who wah I Davidson ! I ' liili ! rah ! rah ! dfootball ITcam. .S. B. Shkkakd, Maiiaser Center. J. B. Johnston- left Ouar . IRicibt 3uar . M. Fktzkk B. Fetzer Xeft Cachle. IRicibt Cachlc. RowE .

A dull red house, low-couched on rough grey stone ; Across its long, bare front unceasing played Strange wind-wrought fantasies of light and shade. There in one crevice had some spider thrown Her web, which had at early morning sho)ie A glittering gossamer in gem light rayed ; Hut noon had left its splendors all decayed, Where only dust and withered leaves were strewn. Mute symbol of the little life we weave, A tenuous web of fruitless day and deed. So fair in youth gleams hope ' s transcendent ra ' ; Hut swiftly pass the years, and ])assing, leave Our hearts despoiled of manhood ' s promised meed, And tilled with liitter dust and dull decay.

T f T w ' Our Printers. 39 PICK OUT A PRINTER -a good one— and make him Your Printer. If he has the proper perception and modern facilities, he will be quick to catch and interpret your ideas and individuality, and it won t be long until he will anticipate your instructions. He will know what you like, and will soon have all of your printed matter clothed with your individuality. Of course Your Printer should be one in whom you have confi- dence, who will take no advantage of you in the matter of quality, price, or anything else. ® a Some of our customers have considered it to their interest to call us Our Printers, ever since they gave us their first order wlien we showed them we were interested in their printing beyond the fact that it carried with it a money consideration. We have a pride of our own about Our Printing, and this, we doubt not, has had a great deal to do with our success and the reputation our establish- ment enjoys. ® ® Let us add your name to the already long list of those who think of us as Our Printers. ■ ■; « ■ j vj xj.
