We know its imperfections and easily s ee how far short we have fallen of the high ideals we had in view; and, though we may not have attained the standard set by our predecessors, yet we have no apologies to offer. We have labored under adverse circum- stances and great difficulties, and we hope that there are some who will understand the deeper meaning of this volume and to whom it will appeal strongly. We offer it now, with all its faults to the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of Davidson College hoping that our efforts may meet with generous sym- pathy and may be appreciated ;:: We wish to thank all friends who have given us assistance in preparing this volume. ?-C .A PROF.

( )Ll ' TI( )X is tlu ' watchwnrd oi the ago. Td whatever sphere of Hfe we fl[ turn our attentii)ii we tind that evohition pla)s its part. This is no less true in the ease of man liian it is with other forms of hfe, and espeeially is the proeess in evidence when we consider the development of a class of men from the time of their entrance at college till their graduation. This change can be seen in all classes as they pass through the four stages of college life, and here as nowliere else history repeats itself. In the beginning all are Freshmen : then thev become Sophomores: tlien dignified Juniors: and timdly the - reach the goal of the college man ' s desire — the Senior year, with its privileges and the completion of the preparation for life ' s duties. Though there are slight ditler- ences in the histories of college classes, yet as a rule they are monotonously alike, for the trend of college life is ever t he same. The morning of September the fifth, nineteen hundred and one, found on the Davidson campus fifty-one Freshmen of a particularly greenish hue. The wandered aimlessly about, knowing nothing of each other or of the upi)er class- men. I ' .ut this state of affairs could not long continue and ere night had come we had heard of the straps and staves with which the Sophs, had armed them- selves. And verilv we had not heard in vain : for valiantly did the Sophs. ac(|uit themselves and fight like men. Tn spite of their oft-repeated persecutions and threats, we kept our nerve and decided that we had better organize in order that we might the more efiiciently protect ourselves. Accordingly, word was passed that we would meet on the following night in Happy r.ill ' s room: and so we did. There in the silent watches of the night and without molestation from anv of the evil creatu res of this or the other world we chose the men who should lead us valiantlv through our first year at college. At the same time we com- ])osed a veil, and with all the insolence of which Freshmen are cajiable. marched. up liefore the Laboratory and for the first time made the cami)us ring with Boo-la-ra! Boo-la-ra! Wah-hoo-wah! Facero sine jactantia! Blue and Gold! Kaka-loo-kivc! Vive la! Vive la! Nineteen Five! The result was that an angry niolj of Sophomores poured fnun the dormitories and began a hot pursuit of the I ' reshmen already fleeing for their lives. The next dav manv experiences with Sojihomores were related, and for the remainder ' ' ■■• 33 (if the car vc were subject to periodic molestations from these evil creatures. I)Ut soon the ghd Coinmenccment season came ami we were rejoiced to know that when we assembled afjain we would constitute a band of mighty Sophomores. who would parole the land and administer justice to Fresh, and other miscreants. Ihit when the roll was called at the beginnintj of our second year we num- bered only forty-one men. In spite of the fact that uu- numbers were greatly reduced we were still to prove ourselves equal to the occasion. We at once organized and took the college in hand. We had very little trouble in managing the Faculty and the npjier classmen, but as the Fresh, knew nothing of our power — and very little about anything else — we had to imjiress them with a sense of our suix-riority by threshing soundly the entire Class. . fter this all went smoothly till the latter part of the winter. . t this time we had a banquet and all night long did we feast n]ion the food of the gods, and not until the morning did we (|uit our places for rest. But lo! in the night watches the iM-esh. had come and barred the gates as we were feasting within. In a moment we were upon the war-path and soon we found our enemies fortified in Spence Castle, dreat was the battle that ensued, but the So] homores were victorious and compelled the Freshmen to pass under the yoke — rod. Such were the conditions of their defeat that the Freshmen temporarily deserted the ])lace, but soon they returned and entered a truce. Such were some of our deeds as Sophomores. Hut another Commencement was at hand, and again we were separated for a short while. When again we came together we numbered only thirty-seven Juniors, but what a change had been wrought in us since we were last together ! No longer were we silly Sophomores, thinking only of gibing Fresh, and disturbing the peace of the communitv ; but we had become new creatures in the realization of the fact that the wisdom of .Solomon was upon us. We at once assumed a dignity that l)iU the l- acult ' to shame and caused the Freshmen to raise their hats to us. We soon reorganized and rd! went well until Christmas; Init then it was ])roclaimcd that on the twent -seconil day of b ' ebruary the voices of the Juniors should be beard in the land, . wful was that edict and much terror did it strike into our hearts: but we worked diligently, and never since the days of nemosthenes has such orat ir been heanl. n that occasion we seltk ' d many of the (|Uestions of the day. and since that time there has been very little trouble in ]iolitics, society or religion. P ut such is the life of a Junior, and none other is more lleeting. for .soon we were separated again, only to return as Seniors. And now we have returned and are spending the last of our college days. We have almost reached the goal for which we have been earnestly striving, and though many have fallen in the conflict. it (|uite a goodly number have jiroved faithful. At the beuimiinij ' of the vear we mmibered twentv-four men, but the 34 Fates were against us and through misfortune we lost five of our loyal members. Though we shall not have so large a number of graduates as the Class before us, we are well content with our number when we consider that we were a small Class even as Freshmen. As we look back over the years we have spent at old Davidson we are pos- sessed with a feeling of complete satisfaction. Though we have accomplished nothing that is entirely exceptional, and though some things in our hist iry might be wished otherwise, yet when we consider our attainments in all departments of college life, we each luust confess that we are proud to have been nuiubered among the bo s of 1905. All through our college course we have taken a prominent stand in athletics and have furnished soiue of the best luen that have ever played on both the football and baseball teams. But we are not exclusively an athletic Class, for we have done good work in other departments. In society we have taken a good stand and have gotten more than our share of the medals ; in the classroom we have not been found wanting, for we have had as many as six men on the Honor-Roll in one year. In a word, in all luatters of college life the Class of 1905 has always been at the front, and we have ever striven to live up to our motto, which, as we go hence, shall become our luotto for life : Faccrc sine jactaiitia.

As was the custom of tlic college, they named this invading tribe Fresh. The citizens of the village were much surprised to hear that this tribe, though green, knew that there was strength in unity and had organized, the earliest in the history of the college, under the banner of Red and Cjray, and called themselves Nau}(ht Sis. With Bernard, the son of .Smith, as leader we came out in battle array. Having deposited all our gold and siKer with the bursar and learned the dear old hymn. Oh! yon I ' rcsli.. yon had better lie low. we declared ourselves at war against Magi. Numerous were the combats in which we engaged and various were the talents rendered when called to account at mid-term contest. Some met success and some failure. However, after a few days rest we returned to the battle- field with more determination to slay or be slain. It was during this term that we made ourselves renown : so much so that igo6 goes down as the historic Class of Davidson. The details of this need not be mentioned, save to recall how we held down the Spence Castle and on the following day, in heavy marching order, ascended the Cornelian hill. The result of all this is only too well known. From the very beginning we showed ourselves skilled in athletics. The victory over the Sophs. ])roved that the Fresh, were destined to be well repre- sented on the diamond. With I ' etzcr, luiilcy. and Harris on the college team. ' 1906 could well lx ast of her part in baseball. ( )n the gridiron we showed up with unusual strength and valor. Fetzer, l ' ig Gibson and Lentz met their opponents with such success that it has been the envy of every Class to this day. Nothing further of special interest occurred to our notable Class till the celebration of our nine months victory, when we had fought the good fight and no longer were to be calKd I ' resh. Having announced this to the citizens of the village and surrounding country Ijy a tour from I to 3 a. m., and having dared to chant it at the lair of the .M r,i, we returned for a peaci ' ful stay in our native land. Howlieit, after three months we ri ' lurned and immediatt-ly began to look for an over-master. ( )ur choice fell on Lacy, of the tribe of lleujamin, who was small in size but large in heart. This year the struggle was more fierce. Though 46 fewer in number we were more skilled, and our cavalry, supported by a few pedestrians, marched off victorious at the mid-term contest. The next event of importance was our banquet at the Vatican. The wit was so keen and pierced so deeply that an honored guest of the wise men called for the cup of fellowship. Merely mentioning the fact that we added to those worthy of the D two more in football and one in baseball, we hasten on to Commencement. Of the eight sub-marshals, six were from Soph. Class. Having won greater honors than ever before, we returned to our native land and quiet reigned at Davidson for three months. But after these three months ' quiet we returned to take uj) the name and duties of Juniors. With F. L. Jackson as leader this year we won greater honors than before. In athletics again Fetzer (Capt.), McKeithan, McKay, Hassell, Miller and Moore in football, and in baseball Bailey (Capt.), Fetzer and Moore added honor to our already enviable record. Realizing ourselves on the shady side of our college career, having encamped around the far-famed institution for nearly three years, we called together the people of the world and imparted to them of our knowledge and incidentally shaping the world ' s destiny. Nineteen Six plays an important part in literary societies, clubs, and all other college organizations. This year of the eight sub-marshals we furnished one-half With such a record then let us all return to complete the last of our four years ' warfare. Then will King Smith call together his staff and send out to enlighten the world the largest class Davidson has ever sent forth. Again will igo6 be a record-breaker. 47 yiondeau. 7j ie dai s of ffo d have quicJelt sped, JVer i outh is slain, her jot lies dead, jind she has entered days o ffrat ; rom her old paint-box put away Tjhe ffold, the azure and the red ZJhe sepias and yrays instead Tjrace best the hueless years ahead, — farewell to green and smitiny way, Tjhe days of yold 2 et thouyh her very soul has bled, jind weary ways her feet must tread, — Once perfect love was her own. ay ' St is 9 ore bright for this dar c day Sn Sod ' s eternal years are spread Tjhe days of gold 7 irffar.

It has now reached that state if I thought by a Freshman to be the ideal. It is with great pleasure that we ■ look back over the many happy events that have come to pass during our two years of college life. . mere recounting of such would be of interest to the members of 07, but just what of these should be mentioned in a brief Class history is truly a perplexing question. We arrived on the hill in the fall of 1903, one hundreil and two strong, the largest Freshman Class that had ever entered Davidson College. Soon we became acquainted with the Sophs., the noble lords of the campus, and just so soon began our persecution. Many were the songs we sang! .Man were our midnight wanderings through the woods ! However, on the evening of the 4th of September, one day after our arrival, we effected a complete organization, electing as our officers A. A. James, presi- dent : R. C. Love, vice-president : .A.. H. Sloan, secretary and treasurer : and W. C. Rose, historian. This was the earliest I ' reshman Class organization in the history of the college. When the darling hoy was wishing very much for his mamma to take him home the ' . AI. C. . .. assisted by the ladies of the village, came to his rescue and on the 7th of September tendered us a reception quite different from those we had been enjoying ( ?) from night to night. After this most enjoyable occasion we became both bolder and more fleet of foot, and often the campus resounded with, Wahoo! Wah! Wahoo ! Wah ! Sic iter ad astra! Blue and White! Sis — boom — bah ! Nineteen Seven! Rah! Rah! Rah! and sniiictinics with our retreating footsteps. In athletics we were not far from the front, ' e were well represented on S5 I)iitli the ' arsil (.■k ' xon and tlu- cullcijc track team.

There were long ones and short ones, lean ones and fat ones, and medium ones. We recognized each other on the train from Charlotte by various outward signs of fear and trembling, but wlien c got oflf at Davidson, being met by the deception committee of the Y. M. C. A., all our fears vanished — for about ten minutes. Before we got half way to the college we realized that we had not reached the land of sweet rest and quiet as described by Dr. Smith, for everybody w e met seemed to be a howling demon. Before we had been on the hill very long we decided to have a Fresh, meet- ing. This task wa.s accomplished with much difficulty, owing to the great interest the Sophomores took in this event. The first attempt failed utterly. But we kept the old adage in mind, If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try again. The second attempt was more successful, with the following results : Thompson, jiresident ; Long, vice-president ; Axford, secretary : Watkins, treasurer. On the ] Ionday following our arrival the ladies of the town decided to give us a reception. This generous hospitality was elicited by the fine appearance we had made at church the day before, and the wish of the fair damsels of the village to make our acquaintance. This reception was held in the lower hall of the old dormitory. The whole programme went of¥ splendidly, especially the aftermath, in which the I ' resh. did most of the going. We made a fair record in football, with one man on the Varsity and several others on the scrubs. We have s])lendid prospects for making a good showing on the diamond next spring.

The world is wide, ' tis true, But all belongs to me that I may choose To claim. I would not bow my neck for you To fit thereon the servile yoke of views That old men cherish, nor feel called to do What other men have done. All things are new 1 At Thirty 1 am a man! And yet 1 am not free, As 1 was wont to think in years gone by. To prove my manhood, I must surely be. Love holds me captive, and in vain I try To break her fetters, and her charms to flee — Love, what thraldom ' tis to worship thee ! At Forty 1 am a man ! And yet, and yet, I find That men ' s opinions often influence me. That custom ' s fetters strong my manners bind To things I care not for, yet am not free To slight. That habit now my soul enchains To actions which my better self disdains. At Fifty I am a man — but I at least have found That ' tis not good for man to be alone. I ' ve learned to wear the fetters Love has bound. And Youth ' s self-confidence I have outgrown. As the years pass, with happiness I ' m crowned, Though sometimes Fortune on me may have frowned. At Sixty I am a man — and if 1 dare may claim The mastery of myself, I know full well, ' Tis to the Strong I owe my strength — the Same Whose ever watchful Eye doth surely quell My folly by a look, and put to shame The manhood which was really but a name ! — O.

The fnllowini; are the more important additions which ha e marked this ■period: 1. riie Martin Chemical l-ahoratorv. 2. The Shearer ISiblical Hall. .V The Xew Dormitorw 4. An enlari ed and reconstructed College Church. 5. . remodeled C ' ommencement Hall, with I ' llectrieal Lal)orator . .Mine- ralogical Laboratory. Classroom and Workshop. (). Xew artesian well ancl electric pnm])ing-station. with conversion of main pumping-station to electric power. 7. Installation of exhaust steam-heating ' s stem in Xew Dormitor -. S. Establishment of complete Electric Lightinq; I ' lant, of 800 lights c;ii)acit -. sujjplying lights for all College buildings, campus, village streets, and many stores and residences. ). Construction of 5-room cottage for Superintendent of electric lighting plant. 10. Clearing and grading of the new Spnnit . thletic h ' ield east of the Col- lege, with the opening of the new streets in that locality. The cost of these improvements has been about $55,000. ( )f this $13,000 was withdrawn from the endowment, and $6,000 is yet unpaid, leaving a net addition to the equipment of the College of about $, 6,000. This includes the additions made to the ehnrch, which is not the pro|)erty of the College, allhough located on its campus, but does ucil include $10. 000 gi ' en during these fi e years for the founding of scholarships, loan funds, etc. I ' Noc.kAM idK Till ' : IT- ii ' Ki:. — To carr ' ;un great enterprise lo .i successful conclusion demands isicjii, l ' ,nlhusiasni. .-md l ' jierg . The lirst is not less essential than llu- ntlur Iwn. and to furnish it to e -er student, alumnus, and friend cif l),-i idson is the pm ' pose of this article. What follows is nierel - a hope, a s|)lindi l ision, an ins|iiring da -dream; et the man who faces a great enter- prise without st ' eing the towers and minarets of his fair chateaux d ' l ' .s|)agne glittering on his iKirizmi is .a hopeU ' ss clod, a prt ' ordained faihn-e. r. Davidson should haw an ;idditional l)ormitor lluihling. The ])lans for this have hccii ah-eadv (h-awn, and the buiUHna will be begun ilurino; the fall of the present vear. It will aeciniimodate fifty students, will be amply lighted, ventilated bv the latest niethiuls, and furnished with hathnjums, steam heat, elec- trie light, numerous elosets, and every modern convenience. 2. The excellent s stem of water-works is to be completed and made still more useful by a complete sewerage s -stem, with modern closets, bathrooms, etc., in or near all dormitories. An outlet for the system has already been secured, and it is hoped that the town will cooperate with the College in its construction. 3. Another much-needed improvement is a first-class Steam Laundry, built as an addition to the power-house, utilizing exhaust steam for heating the water, and electricitv for running the laundry machinery. 4. A fourth improvement which will receive a warm welcome is the restora- tion of Lake Wiley under improved conditions. Across the upper end of the lake a low stone wall is to be built. Above this the ground-level is to be raised two or three feet, and all trace of a swamp at the head of the lake abolished. A foot-path is to be constructed from the Sprunt Athletic Field, and the lake furnished with l)oats, spring-boards at different Heights for diving, a ' shoot-the- chute. etc. 5. The College sadlv needs a large Museum for the preservation and display of its large cabinet of minerals and fossils, as well as for all future collections of specimens. This should be the distinguishing feature of a large Biological Ruilding, containing also recitation rooms and laboratories for Zoology, Botany, Cieologv, and Mineralogy. Such a building would make the scientific equipment of the College reasonably complete. 6. The Chambers Building should be remodeled, its woodwork overhauled, and manv improvements added. This magnificent building consists of a great central section containing the Commencement Hall, Library, recitation-rooms, etc., with a three-story dormitory wing on each side. It was so unwisely planned that the onlv access to the dormitories is through the central building, which must, therefore, remain open night and day. The corridors are to be closed at the inner end, thus cutting off the dormitory wings entireh- from the central building. A separate entrance and stairway will be built for each dormitory wing, thus converting the ]M-esent structure into three disconnected Iniildings. At each end of the Chambers Building, behind the present water-rooms, a brick tower will be built, containing bathrooms, closets, and dressing-rooms on each floor. The woodwork of the whole building will he renovated, the floors relaid, and the building heated with steam or hot water. 7. Two large Gymnasiums should be added to the College equipment. Be- luccn till ' new I ' lianilxTs Street l)ack of the L ' liaiiiliers lUiildiiii, and tlie Athletic I- ' ielil. a stii|) oo feet wide has been left, extending 400 feet along the western border of the field. At the south end of this area should be constructed a large 0]ien-air (i ninasium, about 100x80 feet, covered with a light roof, but without sides. At the other end of the area, liack of the baseball diamond and grand stand, a uio(k ' rn indoor ( i nniasiuni, full} ' equipped, and of ample size, should l)e built. These two I i nmasiums. the new Athletic Meld in immediate proximity, Lake Wilev a few hundred ards away, and the two-mile stretch of Mecklenburg macadam rinming east from Chamliers Street, will give ample facilities for physi- cal culture. 8. . new Librarx ' liuilding. modern, commodious, and fireproof, should be built as the center of the intellectual life of the College. It should contain a beautiful central reading-hall, which could be easily cleared for banquets or social functions. This should be circular or octagonal, lighted b ' a dome, hung with pictures, and adorned with statues and memorial tablets. The cost of these eight improvements would be lietween ninety and one Inm- drecl thousand dollars. Their addition would give the old College a modern plant uciitlu of lier honorable history her present ]ire-eminence, and the great denomi- nation .ii ' which she is the intellectual exponent. If the Presbyterians of the South realized what the growth and power of Davidson means to Southern l ' resb - terianism. the ring of the hammer and clink of the trowel would lie heard on the campus without cessation till the dream aliove outlined became a wonder-working realitv in Iirick and stone. H. L. S. 114 The F. F. V. ■ • I ' L was a iM-cshmaii and green, not in the ways of the great (Uitside world, 4ra hvit concerning the laws and traditions of the great college which loomed ahout him, as he stood on the campus gazing at the stars and allowing visions of future greatness to take possessi on of his little soul. He felt himself a part of these great red buildings, identically alike, with their great white fluted columns standing like sentinels before them. So much alike were they, indeed, that he would have felt some nervousness as to his ability to distinguish them but for the fact that he had been on the hill two whole days, and had learned them well. He could recognize his own room ' wa}- up on the third floor. Far across the campus he could see the lights of East Dormitory, and visions arose within him of the little girl with the brown eyes who had smiled at him that morning across the great auditorium, for X ' awdr}- College was co-educational, and here roomed all the fair ones of the institution. Another feeling had tugged at his heart-strings ever since his arrival — an inordinate fear of the Sophomores — and he wondered as he approached the building before him if he should find his room filled with them. With a grim determination, h(iwe er, to bear whatever should be in store for him, dis]ilaying the heroism for which generations of fore- fathers had been distinguished, he strode bravely up the great stone steps and into the building. At the foot of the staircase he was confronted by a young woman, presuma- hlv a maid, who surprisinglv seeming not to recognize him, asked what he wanted ■ ' I am going to my room — Xo. lo, he answered with dignity. Vou are, she aliuost gas])ed, and then grasping the situation and realizing the conception he had of her, she replied humbly: Wait a moiuent, sir. Your room is a little disordered. 1 will fix it for you, and let you know when it is readv. ' ill ou wait here, sir, until T come back .• ' Certainly, he answered, still in a dignified tone; and then with a little tremor, Have the Sophs, been here? Somewhat surprised at the wav the voung woman left him, convulsed whether with laughter or tears he could not determine, he sat down on a lounge in the hall to await patiently her return. He would have almost doubted his sanity could he have seen her burst into Xo. lo. throw herself on the bed, and go into ))-iroxysms of laughter.

At tin- ddor lie had time to catch sight of a room full df white figures clad in sheets, with lidles for e es, when two giants scizcil ;md hlindfcilded him; then with hair dii end he found himself upon a hlaiikel, then at the ceiling, then — gee wdiiz ! wasn ' t he ever going to sto]:) falling — tlieii .inoiher hoiincc from the hlankct, and still tlie sensation tliat part of his l)dd w;is still clinging to the ceiling.

Here liis blindfold w as removed and the nearest monster, as she api eared in the dim light, asked in an abnormall deep bass voice: What is your n.ame ' i William llciir ( ireen, he whis]iered.

And the ymith, reari ' d in ;in .-itnidsphere lidlding in abhorrence all ext-rcise of the feet, |)erfornied several awkward steps. Then the voice continuccl : Can vou sing? ' Yes. ma ' am. ■■ Well, let ' s hear you, and the little fellow, whose voice had never been raised except in Sunday-School, found himself obliged to dispL ' u his musical [lowers before a cultured and severely supercritical audience. The trembling Freshman was now conducted through the realh ' serious ])arl of his initiation. The ingeniously cruel feminine portion of the college had not li ' etl in such close proximity to the masculine withotit learning a great deal, and the concoctions prepared in the ever-convenient chafing-dish and poured down the throat of the unresisting Freshman were enough to unsettle the digestion of a steam locomotive. The usual forms were undergone, and the spokesman at last announced that as the qualifications had been successfullv passed, he was novv a regularly initiated member of the F. F. . Which stands, she continued, not for the ' First I ' amilies of ' irginia, as commonly supposed, but for the Fresh Fools of X ' awdrv. You will give vour oath to keep inviolate its secrets, and remain ever true and loval to the F. F. ' . What in the world does this mean ? he heard a fresh voung girlish voice say. and every latent instinct of gentlemanly propriety revolted at the thought of a girl in Iiis room. He tore the bandage from his eyes and there on the threshold, with the electric light behind throwing her figure into sharp relief, and her eyes shining like stars with anger and excitement stood — his girl with the brown eyes. ■ ' ' hat are you doing in m_ - room? she again demanded of the crowd, and as the spokesman began explaining the proceedings, she burst out. Kate Ander- son, I never would have believed ou capable of such a thing. The very idea of treating the little fellow so! Her room ! Little fellow ! He would show her what he could do ; but as he advanced toward the nearest Sophomore, a wonderful thing happened — the sheet slipped oflf and there emerged — horror of horrors — a girl ! ( )ut of the remaining sheets stepped forth a laughing, jolly crowd of girls, and then our friend ' s man- hood asserted itself. ■ ' Where am I ' f he demanded. Xumber ten. East Dormitory, she of the brown eves answered. East Dormitory ! Her room ! ! He had been hazed b - a crowd of girls ! ! ! As the enormity of these broke upon his dazed mind, the newl - initiated member of F . F. turned and bolted for his room. But this is not the end. The oung ladies swore never to divulge the secret. and finally apolos izcd to liini, which he. liki. ' the Utile i enllenian he was. t;hullv accepted with full forgiveness. As he grew in wisdom and stature they recognized his sterling qualities, and the little member of the 1 . I ' . became a |)rime favor- ite with the dwellers in East Dormitory. As for the girl with the brown eyes, the rather novel introduction was the beginning of a friendshi]) which finally (levelo])ed into something stronger, and Dr. William ilenr ( ireen lool s back with pride and thanksgiving to the night when he joined the 1 ' . b. .

Manager Athletics ■ril - rccor ls made 1) tliL- baseball and football teams during the spring and 111 fall of nineteen hundred and four were such that every student and alumnus of Davidson should be proud of. They were records that colleges of our size seldom make. In fact, the year brought us nothing short of success in our Athletics. To whom was this success due? You at once say, ' Players and coaches. Yes, this is partlv right, but there is another source which is seldom credited with having brought success to the teams, and that is the managers. We can not .speak in too complimentary terms of our managers for the past year. ( )f course this is not the place for personal mention, but we cite the case to show that the selection of a manager is but a prophesy of the success of a team. To the coaches we are greatly indebted and we can not with words express our keen appreciation of their services. I ' .esides the very cleverness of the ])layers in the games, the victories, were due to that grim determination to win. I5oth in base- ball and football the players seemed to be thinking of nothing except win we must, and this it is that wins games. Another fact that is a compliment to any team is that there was no seeking of personal glory, but every man was working for the glorv of his team. This we all know is the greatest exponent of success. The first game of importance last spring was the University game at Win- ston. Thus far the boys had not been beaten and they determined, if possible, to win another victory. Truly did they win, and a great victory it was. X ' ictory after victory until ten scalps were scattered around the diamond. Then came the Waterloo. the Alercer boys serving us with the first defeat. Hardly had the sting of this defeat begun to burn when we were presented with another by Furman. We wound up the season well, hut not willing to let good enough alone, we left our examinations to play A. and M. We learned a good lesson but paid a dear price, which was in the ratio of thirteen to three. We need only repeat the words of the umpire at the Heorgia game ; Where in the world did you get that team? The team has won its place as one of the best in the South, and truly does it deserve it. T is with pleasure that we all look back at the record of last year ' s football team. The outlook was bad and no one had much hope of putting out a team such as w r ilid. l- ' rci]ii tlic sciircs made the team imisl Ix- i;i cn lirst rank nf all fnnthall teams sent nut t ' rnm na ' i(lsiin. W-ver ilid we realize tlie rt ' al streiiL th cif mir team till the season was over, it certainly raised oiir rank in tile foothall wdrld and shall niiu lie rated as mie nf the hest.

Btit our prospects are bright and we are looking forward to make some new scores that shall count. Among the old men back are Rowe, Vail, Currie, Morrison, Thompson, Fetzer, Moore, and Bailey. Some of the new candidates worthy of mention are Cely, Thompson, McConnell, and Walker. From such a squad as the above to choose a nine it does seem that there ' 11 be somethin ' iloin in the good old summer-time. A very good schedule has been arranged in which A. and M., of Raleigh, S.

Ub The Wreck of the Freight Train It was the freight train number ten, That ran the Southern road From Charlotte up to Taylorsville, And carried a wondrous load. But she flew the track with eight box cars, Loaded with coal and wheat, Tobacco she had and lots of booze, And other things good and sweet. Scattered they were on the soft road-side, A pitiful sight to see ; The College boys all wandered round. Rescuing manfully. Then up and spake an old engineer. Had long time run the train, ' I would I were past Davidson, For 1 fear a hurricane. Larger and larger grew the crowd, The toughest crowd ever seen. Above them, College yells were loud, And other things, too, I ween. Down they came and smote amain, All the boxes scattered round: Naught did they spare, but took it all. Of whatever lay upon the ground. ' Sweep Stakes was favored, R. J. R. Brown ' s Mule, and Apple-jack, And whatever else you wish to chew. Of these there was no lack. Fast through the evening dark and drear, Through whistling wind and rain. Like ghosts upon the broad highway. Boxes of tobacco came. And ever the big box cars between, A great loud sound was heard ; It was the sound of the countrymen. Trying boxes together to gird. The fellows were all upon the train. As she lay a dreary wreck; And a whooping mob swept the load. Like spots from a juggler ' s deck. 139 The booze and barrels all sheallicd in tin, With boxes went by the board, Clear as boarding-house tables after meals, Rah ! Rah ! the scoundrels roared. Attics were crowded. Commencement Hall, And all the hiding-places near. Were filled with plunder from the wreck. Wherever it seemed ' twould not appear. At sunset on tlie railroad track. Section master stood aghast, To see not a vestige of his load, To tell the tale of the cargo vast. He blew a whitf from his railroad pipe, And a vengeful oath swore he, That in the two-roomed jail at Davidson The cussed thieves he ' d see. An oath he swore two pages long. Before the mayor of the town. Wherein ' twas said he ' d search the place. Till everything there was found. Up came from town two detectives brave. Two brawny men and strong. Searched the place in a minute and a half. Then hiked tliemselves along. For snow had fallen on the ground. Just ready to be thrown ; Water was cold, too, when it struck- These two were all alone. So not a single bit was found. Though all the place was searched ; The reason is not hard to say — They were a little rushed. Such was the wreck of number ten. At the setting of the sun. My advice to the train aljout to wreck, Don ' t pick out Davidson. As Others See Us ■r HEV had met in the main hall directly at the foot of the grand staircase — l|l 1 loltzcla ' . Enoch, Dick. John, Joe, Hiram — the whole force — and had ■ characteristically laid down their work to engage in a few moments ' con- versation. Holtzclaw . the Mercnry of the I ' acnlty, talked with the same grim martvr-like determination with which he delivers to the trembling stndent the ellow note stamped with the president ' s signature; Dick with the cheery laugh w hich accompanies him even into Schofield ' s coca-cola store ; John, the sport ; I ' jioch, the shifty-eyed Shylock of the party; Joe. the C ' hemistr chair; Uncle Hiram, the patriarch — all were there. Dick liroke the rather awkward ])relimi- nar ' stillness with his inimitaljle chuckle. Hyeh ! Hyeh ! Dis baccer bizness done beat anything T ever seed. How ' s dat ? the others asked. Why, deni ' tectives come up here and couldn ' fin ' nuthin ' , an ' I bet I could go u]) dere an ' fin ' a hundred boxes right now. I don ' t blame ' em neithei. ' cause I ' d a hiked it too wid all dem Ijovs behin ' me. De Facult}- couldn ' do no good neither. Cose I ain ' gwiner mention no names ' cause I ain ' one o ' dem niggers wliat ' s always actin ' s|iy, lint dis mornin ' I axed one of de bo ' s whut he wuz puttin ' dcni bundles in de l)ell tower fer. He said dat was one place de I ' aculty never would make tony, so hit wuz all safe dere. Dat bizness ain ' ez funny ter me, said L ' ncle lliram, ez dose fellows whut wouldn ' wear no hats befo C ' hrisnuis, twel I ' splaincd hit by sarchin ' one of ' em ' s trunk.

Cose I ain ' gwiner mention no names, but you kudw who ain ' wore no hat sence he come here. Shoo! said Joe. dat ain ' half ez sting - ez dose fellows whut shaved all dere hair off wid de explanation dat it ' ud make dvv hair grow, an ' you cud sorter hear ' em saying ter deyselvcs, ' Dat ' ll kee]) frum having meh hair cut dis winter. ' You notice ' em now. an ' dey ain ' got no mo ' hair on ' em dan dey had befo ' . I ain ' mentionin ' no names, but ' 0U knows ' em.

Humph, yas, he assented. One of dem fellows whut lef Chrisnuis made me feel putty l)a l, said L ' ncle Hiram. He lef here in the fall some time, an ' when I axed him whar he bin he said Rawly. I axed him wan ' t the i)enitentiar - dere, an ' he said his liruther wuz ' incarcerated ' dere. I never had anything to shock me so in my life, ' cause dat means set yer down in a chair full of lectric lights — er dat ' s whut he said. Well. I am done scared de Faculty is done sent him over dar fer whut he done — you knows who he is. Cose I ain gwiner mention no names. Dey say he wuz on de ■ animal staff, too. ' De ' animal staff? ' What ' s dat? they all asked. ■■ Oh, dat ' s a book of |)ictures de fellers buvs ever ear. said Dick.

Dev waiUed us fer de ' animal staff. ' hut 1 ain ' under- stood yit wliut dcy wanted wid oiu- ])ictures onless it wuz fer de monkexs on de staff. Hych! Hyeh ! The conversation tlnis emling as it liegan. with Dick s chuckle, tlu ' crowd dispersed, the hall regained its accustomed serenity, and the work of the college went on as before. m If I had youth and beauty too, They should be thine, If they should give thee joy- Joy would be mine. If wealth my hands did fill, I ' d give it thee, And honor too should wreathe thy brow And that would honor me. Alas ! nor youth nor beauty do I claim To offer thee. Nor yet are wealth or honor mine — Ah, woe is me ! But list my friend ! true love is left. And that is thine; And prayer which brings Heaven ' s richest gift Is surely mine. If such possessions I may claim — Then they are thine. For long as life shall last. What ' s mine is thine l fx Sl r QIatnmenrpmrut (iirl She ' s here every year. The same old maid.

Davidson Represented on the Crags and Sands of Arabia A BEARDED pilgrim wends his wav ' round and ' rmniil the heights of Ararat. Close heliind him follows a seeond pilgrim, in the hands of the former pilgrim is a Coleman. I ' .ut the pilgrim needs not to con- sult that heloved hook, for he knows it all hy heart. The second pilgrim has spent many weary nights in the study of the Coleman. hut little of it has he ever learned. So this latter pilgrim prefers not to trust to his own knowledge of ( ;;_v hook for guidance; hut with imi:)licit confidence he follows the lead of the hearded pilgrim. 1! - and hy the two solitary figures reach the summit of Ait. Ararat. l ' or a while they both ramble about over the peak. Then the bearded ]5ilgrim seems to have found what he seeks. John. says the hearded one. right there is where the center of the bottom of the ark rested. Yes. sir. . nd right over there is the place where stood tlic door through which the couple of elephants made exit from the ark. It must have been a severe ordeal for the great beasts to climb down this precipitous and rocky slope. Yes, sir. And yonder is w here the kangaroo door was ; and right where we stand Xoah himself first planted his feet upon solid ground after the flood. Yes, sir. Yonder on the to|) of that rock crag rested the eastern end of the first rainbow, which s])anned the heavens in glorv uns])eakal)le. ' es. sir. Doctor. LJut. John, we can tarry here no longer. Let us arise and make a bee-line for Horeb. Yes, sir. Doctor: we nnist tand on thi ' rock where .Moses stood. So the i ilgriins toil down from tln ' chilh- heights of Ararat. And the natives, jjeholdiiig the bearded pilgrim and his follower di ' scending from the mountain, cried out in astonishmeiU : Xoah! . ' o;di ! leather . oah ! And wIki ' s that behind him? Shem ! Shem ! Xo! is ' s llam! Si ' e how dark brown is his complexion! Ham! 11am! An l Xoah! ' I ' lu ' Ijeardcd pilgrim halts. L ' p goes his forefinger in a charming salute. Young gentlemen Xoah ! Xoah ! See how he points u ) to heaxen I And Ham! Ham! rings from the crowd : and here the curtain falls on our pilgrims. Again a hiiar - pilgrim and his faithful follower toil u ) a harren mountain- side. ( )h. jdhn, hdw beautiful a region is Horeb ! says the leader. How I wish we could build us here on Sinai a tabernacle in which to abide forever Xo, sir, Doctor ; I ' m hungry, comes the laconic response from the ounger pilgrim. Clearly he had enough for his eyes, but not for his stomach. I guess we had better not stay on this mountain too long, however, or we shall not have a great while to wander in the Desert of Shur and in the Wilder- ness of Zin. Would that we could tarry forty vears in the wilderness ! Xo, sir. Doctor : I don ' t believe any manna falls there now. But if you think there does, let us highball for the Desert of Paran. John, I hardly think that you should use such an expression. When Moses was here I iloubt if he used such slang. But we must go to yonder place and see where Aaron set up the golden calf. Yes, sir. Doctor. Pa would be glad if I ' d bring home a piece of the calf, if the earrings the Hebrews wore were really gold. But when the ])lain was reached the Arabs spied the pilgrims. Immediately there was a concourse. A shout rolled up the slopes of Horeb, and the crags and dells of Sinai rang with the echoes of the cry : Moses! Moses! Blessed be Allah ! Moses has come down at last ! Glory, glory, glory to Moses, the only prophet! But others cried out: Xo! It ' s Joshua! Joshua! Blessed be Joshua, that made the sun stand still! But who is that behind him? Cursed be that dark-skinned man — for it ' s Achan ! . chan. that buried the goods in his tent after Ai ! It ' s Achan ! Stone him again ! But the blocks to him ! Put the blocks to him ! Here again the ciu tain must fall on our j ilgrims. But we hope for the best for our fellow student, and for our revered and beloved professor. 0ttt%i 0 Without or with offense to friends or foes, I sketch the world exactly as it goes. —Grind Sliifj.

L Preston March 18111. 1 05. — Meeting called to order by President VVliitaker. Roll called and absent members noted. Devotional exercises conducted by Chaplain F. A. Rankin. Minutes of last meeting read and after having been heartily con- demned bv Dr. Chloride Black as showing a decided decline in skiiiability, were approved. Jan Van Landingham then skint his eyes and looked around to see how the other members were getting on. .Ml had their eyes peeled and were evidently ready for biz. President Whitaker asked Pothooks to state the object of the meeting. Pothooks rose to the occasion and said that the object of the meeting as he understood it was to adopt some plan whereby to succeed in skinning Skit Schofield. He said that all the old ways of skinning this eel had signally failed of late. Even the method of going in crowds to have things charged and then getting out quickly to give Skit time to remember who had bought and how much, etc., had failed, or at least worked the wrong way, as Skit had dunned him dirty by sending in a bill for things which he had never purchased. He proposed counterfeit money as a remedy, but was reminded that he would have to part with some kind of an equivalent in order to procure the counterfeit money unless he would coin it. This skiiiit his breathing apparatus severely. Mr. (luy now |)roposL-d the name of Mr. Rayhill for honorary membership, saying by way of recommendation that he would skin a gnat for his hide and tallow if he ruined a fifty-cent knife doing it. He was immediately elected. At this juncture it was said that Skit was at the door and was wishing to be made a member. Several seconded his nomination and said that the order would gain an adept in receiving him. He was brought in wobbling and panting and after the usual questions was blindfolded and a large William goat was brought in for him to ride. .-Xfter pacing a few steps William complained of his back hurt- ing him, and after Skit was assisted down it was found that the noble William ' s back was broken — probably the efifect of an overdose of avoirdupois. As his soul almost immediately passed over the river to butt into another world, it was decided to skin him for the practice of it. After Skit ' s initiation it was moved to practice Skinology on Capt. Harris and Sawyer for all the canned goods, tobacco, etc., and get coca-cola at Skit ' s as before — five cents straight. Skit ' s right hand was nearly shaken off so rejoiced were they to have him join their order, and after cheers had been given. Dr. Chloride Black performed the Rennv Dixnn and the meeting was adjourned to be continued ;; our necks. Finis. — March i8, 1905. i0 169 Thompson, W.

David son ■r HE flourishing city of Davidson is situated midway between the rushing ill mig ' ity waters of the Yadkin on the east, and the rolling torrents of the Catawba on the west. She is also bounded on the north by the thriving city of Mt. Alourne and on the south by the coiuing Coniclius; and with these two booming cities she is connected by railway, telephone, and wireless telegraphy Occupving this advantageous site and having such easy access to the outside world, Davidson is destined to be the metropolis of America. The products from the Xorth and South will undoubtedly come right to Davidson — unless they stop at Alt. Mourne or Cornelius. The raih ' oads are taxed to their utmost to trans- port her products to the markets of the Xorth and South ; while the numerous steamers that ply on her great water-courses are cnntinually leaving her ports loaded with cargoes for distant lands. Davidson imports chiefly raw material, the most important of which, by far, are Fresh, and Ponies. This Fresh, product is usually in a very crude state when imiiorted, and must be subjected to various and sundry processes, requiring any- where from four to seven years, and finally comes out a gentleman or a darn fool — and usually the latter. The population of Davidson is something less than one hundred thousand — exclusive of the Drs. The inhabitants, descendants of the Adamie race, are noted for their thrift and industry. The chief products consumed are coca-cola and tobacco. The tobacco firms of Davidson came very near having to go out of business recently owing to the fact that tobacco could lie obtained from the railroad cheaper than the firms could furnish it. The business part of the eitv contains at least three stores, in addition t i Skit ' s coca-cola fountain, a bank, a shoeshop, one and one-half barl)er-sho]is, and Ernest Rver ' s dust and ])ress house. Owing to the fact that Davidson has ado])ted the sulnvay-ear system — or for some other reason — the streets of Davidson are free from the rush and noise of vehicles. Davidson is also a great educational center, there being within its limits the Xorth Carolina Medical College, the famous Davidson College, and an institution ' n 177 for the hig;lur ciha ' ation of the c ' lKiml racr. Tlu ' sliuk-iUs nf tlii ' sc varicms insti- tutions arc tlic cream nf tlic wiidk ' country, and arc ntitcd especially fur ihcii desire to help their fcllnwnicn. One encouraging fact about Davidson is that she is not standing idle, hut is making long and rapid strides upward and onward. hy. within the last twelve months she has incorporated a large electric plant, pulled up all the stumps in a new-ground (prospective athletic field), laid ofif a new street extending eastward from Concord Street past Biisli Street and terminating in Faculty Street. She ha.s also erected a manse for the superintendent of the power-house. Xor is she going to stop here. We might ])icture for Davidson a glorious future. Init these are some of the things that go to prove that Davidson is the rising city of America. Greece had her .Itliens. Italy her Rome, hut America her Daiidson. 178 A Generous Legacy ' .g+% X the morning of the fifteenth day of May, in the year of onr Lord nine- I I [J teen hundred and five, the Grand Councihor of the Davidson Chapter of - the Royal Order of Seniors received a request from Henry, son of Louis, who desired that he might appear before that august body in the name of the FacuUy of Davidson College. The Councillor was loth tu call together his assembly for so slight a cause, but after much deliberation he sent forth a procla- mation throughout all the land that all members of the Lodge should assemble at the ninth hour. At the appointed time, even at the ninth hour of the fifteenth day. the Hall was crowded with Seniors. After the secret ceremonies, the house was awaiting the arrival of their petitioner, when suddenly the Outer Guard brought in a poor, wretched being with garments rent and ashes on his head. With halting step the forlorn creature advanced toward the Grand Councillor and fell on his face be- fore him. When the wrath of the people at such an apparently untimely intrusion had been appeased, and when they had been made to know in their hearts that this was the expected Henry in one of his most multitudinous shapes, the Councillor spoke words of encouragement to his petitioner. Thereupon he arose and witlmut even lifting up his countenance on the assembly, he spoke : Most honorable Seniors ! The gods bear me witness that I am come unto you this day from the Faculty of Davidson College. In all that pertains to knowledge, wisdom, truth, and virtue, we confess ourselves utterly outdone by you. Even before we had thought, you had swept from us our very knowledge b which we were accustomed to get gain unto ourselves. For this cause we are threatened with ruin, and I am come to yovi. O most noble Seniors! in whom is all that is grand and noble, we do beseech you that in departing from the land you shall leave behind some of those virtues which are yours alone. This is our petition, and may it be the will of yourselves and the gods to grant it. Thereupon the forlorn messenger withdrew and the doors were closed for a secret consultation. For long hours the Lodge Hall v ' as the scene of serious discussion, and finally the following resolutions were passed : Whereas, We, the members of the Davidson Chapter of the Royal )rder of Seniors do recognize that all that is grand and noble has its counterpart in us alone among mortal beings ; and Whereas, By our superior powers we have taken from the Faculty that 179 knowledi c whereby they were accustomed to get gain, and withiuit which they confess tliemselves utterly ruined and undone ; and Il ' licrcas. They do recognize our superiority and do hunilily Ixnv before us in subinission this day, confessing that in us alone are found those (|ualities which are to be desired in man, be it resolved. First. That in appreciation of the awful conditinn of the l ' aculty, we express to them our deepest sym]3athy for them in this their time of trial. Second, That on our departure from the land there shall be a distribution of our virtues according to the following regulations : 1. As a whole the Seniors shall leave their dignity to be divided eciually among the members of the Junior Class. 2. Currie shall leave his knowledge o£ Greek and his pony to Dr. Harding. Ervin and (iibson shall leave their wit and their sweet ( ?) smiles to Dr. Harrison, whose supply is almost exhausted. 3. F. W. Rankin and Guy shall bei|Ueath to Dr. Alartin their knowledge of Chemistry, with a full supply of the gaseous elemejits. McQueen shall give to Dr. Shearer a copv of the revised version of his X ' ocabulary of Modern Slang. McCallie and Heilig shall leave their enormous store of general knowledge to the Faculty and their cheek to the village maidens. 4. Paisley shall leave his knowledge of French to Dr. Grey and his pull with the ladies to J. L. Adams. Thurston shall place his knowledge of the chicken-roosts of the vicinity at the disposal of Henderson Irwin, and shall give to Dr. Martin a copy of his Wee-Hour Workers in order that the Doctor may the more efficiently guard his pears. Shaw shall turn over to Dr. Shearer his knowledge of Bible and his old jokes, for which he shall receive a pass, yerno. 5. Stirewalt shall leave eight inches of his stn-plus height to Prof. J. L. Douglas, and fifty pounds of his surplus weight to Dr. J. M. Douglas. Whitaker shall bequeath to Dr. Harding his powers of inquisition in order that the latter may more thoroughly investigate the workings of his conscience. 6. Rankin, Wyman, Weatherly, and Williams shall return next fall and assist Dr. Smith in getting the College under wa ' once more. V sjx-cial permission Harrison is allowed to t;ike awa with him all that he has rained during- his connection with the institutif n. 180 The Strenuous Life The fight is on; we battle against odds, Which overwhelming seem when first we meet: And yet by stern endeavor, as of gods. We lower not our standards to defeat, But crown our brows with victor ' s laurel sweet. A fight for bread, in which we are but beasts Striving for life ag ainst a hostile world ; Strife for wealth, a place at pleasure ' s feasts : For fame, for power — the vortex where are whirlnl The hapless fool in low existence hurled. This is not life, though strenuous it be. There is a life more strenuous by far — A strife for right, for truth, for purity, Which all the world attempts in force to mar. Making true life a strenuous ceaseless war. Proverbs of the Times 1. Seest tliou a man witli a R. E. H.? Lo! lie shall pass on Jnnior and Senior Bible. 2. Seest thou a man with a box of Sweep Stakes? There is more hope of a thief than of him. 3. He that speaketh in chnrch shall receive as great condemnation as he that misses twenty-five prayers. 4. The Sophomore is wise in his own conceit : l)Ut the professor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 5. As a roaring lion and a raging bear — so is the professor toward the poor turkey-lifter. 6. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting ( ?) : but the college-man hath him a chafing-dish. 7. Woe unto the man skilled with the bottle, for he shall stand before the Faculty. 8. As the rains falls continually in Davidson, so falleth the Fresh, who laughs not at the professor ' s joke. 9. Blessed is the man that loveth a girl, and proveth it by force of arms. 10. He who lendeth a pencil enricheth a friend, and loseth a pencil. 11. The Fresh, secth the snow and tleeth : for the snowball of the Soph. IS hard. 12. The wise man locketh his coal-bin at night, for the night-hawks are many. 13. Aly son, remember to attend prayers that thy days may be long in the land called Davidson. 14. ' i ' he I ' resh. and his money are soon parted, for many beats are there at Skit ' s. f 15. He tliat heareth the first [jrayer-bell and shuttrth one eye for a nap is a ' fs inol, and wisdom is far from him. 16. The wicked seeth Holtzclaw approaching with a note, and straightway fear seizeth upon their hearts. 182 I . Hear ve mourning and much lamentation throughout the land? It is the voices of those taking Bible for an easy thing ; but the wise ones knew the cogita- tion of their hearts, and many there were that fell. 1 8. Woe unto you, the frequenters of Skit ' s and the post-office, for the eye of the Faculty is open, and by thy actions art thou judged. K). The unrul ' member shall be cut from off the campus and the evil-doers shall be sent away. 20. Woe unto them that confide their secrets to a woman, for they shall be scattered abroad in the land and do much evil. 21. Let him that thinketh he passeth beware lest he fall. 22. Let him that hath two lights beware, for the evil one is continually prowling around to catch the unwary. 23. .Scest thou the new athletic field? Xo ! nor shalt see it for many days hence. 18, A Plea for a New Curriculum ♦|% H. T ihis Cdllcgf iK ' c-ils, aside from an eiilarnvcl I ' liilownicnt, and a rcforni- 1 ■ ■ •It ' ' } 1 ' ' ' I ' fcsh., is a Curriculum that can share in the trtjpical triumphs • which an advancing civihzation is achieving in other spheres. A L ' ur- ricuhini that will not be cursed by a plethora of work, or blighted Ijy its non- flexibility — a Curriculum in which the poetic, the literary, the romantic, and the leisure-loving tendencies of our students will not be throttled at the very threshold of success — a Curriculum intd which such external factors as dyspepsia, excessive social exactions, and the ringing applause of an outside, admiring world may not creep and mar the students ' enjoyment of the Simple Life. It is difficult for the average student to see why he is required tf) study the numerous flirtations of Jove, and coerced to regard Jove as the inapi)roachable heart-smasher, when a Fresh, in one short vacation destroys more hearts than Jove dreamed of annihilating in all his lamented existence ; or why he nuist extol the mythical Helen as the lovey-dovey-ducky of all the ages, when the live, real American damsel is so much in evidence; or why he must chase the nie verbs through the loud-resounding corridors of his cranium to the utter dismay and rout of the few enclosed ideas. Again, the present Curriculum demands that the student lose his better na- ture in an attempt to appreciate the coarse, ungentlemanly remarks made by the demagogue Cicero against the unoffending Catiline, and when the curtain falls in the last act, with the monster Cicero covering the innocent, contumely-laden Catiline with a Colt ' s 44-calibre, he is expected to regard Cicero with unbounded admiration. He must also learn how Julius C;esar worked himself up from the ])osition of elevator-boy at the IMetropolitan Hotel and Forum Annex, to a C ' oal liaronetcy. whence by the wise expenditure of a few sestertii he landed in the Senate, amid the cheers of the plebeians, who constituted the minority, and the hisses of the aristocratic Beef Monopolists, and how by refusing to ])art his hair in the middle, and in various other ways, he endeared himself to the masses, and how he was one ilay surprised and aggrieved to find his friend I ' rutus prying into his vitals with a six-inch bowie-knife, after which the Senator made his will and bowed himself out, while the student is led to say of the noble I ' .rutus: Wagh ! he was a great brave ! He is also expected to work himself into a perfect ecstacy of delight at the pithy sayings of Mr. (Jenung in his incomparable ' lutlines of Rhetoric. This merriment is supposed to increase as he wades into ( )1(1 JMiglish, and several unimnn ' fied Histories of England, reaching a hilarious climax in drowning — the 184 Man and the Poet. Indeed, if it were not for the more weighty studies of this course, as Shakespeare, Political Economy, and Logic, the student would disgrace himself. Then, too, the victim nuist tread, in hum ility and ignorance, the same path over which the justly-celehrated Pythagoras, clad in a gray business suit, drop- stitch socks, and patent-leather bluchers, led his mentally-diluted, low-bniwed tell(nv-coui;tr iiien in quest of indissoluble problems ; he must cros.-? the -.vve bridge from which some of Pythagoras ' brightest stars fell, and from which Pythagoras himself, after realizing the damage he had wrought upon unlioni generations, cast himself down to his doom. The Chemical Laboratory next opens its hospitable door to the seeker f- ' r knowledge. Chemical Laboratory is only a dignified term for Chamber of Horrors, and for the first few weeks the student wanders through the building, nose in hand, searching for the decaying bodies, which he thinks alone are capa ble of such odors. He is told in no uncertain tones that the scent is due to the chemical combination of certain substances united in the pursuit of Science, and he naturally wonders what Science itself would smell like. Next he ;s prevailed upon to regale himself with a few laws of natural and unnatural science. While it is known for a fact that the vast majority of these laws were discovered prior to the introduction of tobacco into England, and the fall of the Dutch Republic, still we find the advocates of the present Curriculum absurdly claiming that they are practically as good as new. and that with a little rejuvenating (by a process known only to the craft) they will shine brighter than when first discovered ! Thus it is that instead of being instructed in the live realities of to-day, the student is crammed with the possibilities of an inglorious past. The shrines we fall before in the Curriculum of to-day are, in many cases, but the superstitious, groundless hypotheses, and exploded theories of maudlin medifevalism. Verily such absurdities as these goad a man on to desperation and ruin. Would it not be better to substitute the romantic efiforts of our own age for those of Jove and Helen ? Are not the political strivings and assassinations of the present more picturesque than those of the ancients? Are not the frenzied financial conditions of the present more intensely personal than those of any other age ? Are not the sugar-coated pill and the tasteless chill tonic more to be desired than the odoriferous achievements of ancient chemistry? Was not the total Solar Eclipse of igoo a greater than any of its predecessors? We trust that the day is not far distant when those in authority will take advantage of these brilliant suggestions and give us a Twentieth Century Curric- ulum, and the advent of this day will mark a new epoch in the onward march of our institution towards a princely perfection. iS.S Calendar of the College I — College opens with flying colors (green predomi- nating). 5 — Dr. Smith tin-ns on the electric lights. The Fresh, are delighted with them, except for the fact that the lights refuse to be blown out. This causes much trouble.

October IS— (lame with Bingham. Score. 17100, Details: Lynch did the kicking for Bingham. October 2 5 — Dr. Harrison {on logic): Mr. McLaughlin, will you please go to the board and illustrate the dilemma, explaining your work? The look on McLaughlin ' s face illustrated the dilemma much better than, as it seemed, he could write it out with chalk. November 8 — Game with V. M. L Score, 6 to o, in favor of the Virginians. November c) — Great wreck on the Southern — and at Davidson! The students sympa- thize deeply with the unfortunate railroad. They nobly and effica- ciously assist in the cleaning of the wreckage.

Many of them, even at this early date, have attained positions of eminence both in this and other States. They have always been loyal to the institution which gave them their learning, and to their kind words and wide influence the college is largely indebted for its growth. In the fall of i88g Dr. J P. Monroe began teaching two students, Duncan Lamont and Russell Bellamy, in his private office, using a log cabin for a dissecting-room. Dr. I.amont is dead and Dr. Russell Bellamy is now enjoying a lucrative practice in New York City. In 1S90 four additional instructors were added and the course was made to cover two years instead of one, as it had been up to that time, thus presenting opportunities for a medical edu- cation that had never before been offered in North Carolina. In 1S93 this School of Medicine was incorporated as the North Carolina Medical College- the time of instruction increased to three years and the course enlarged to include all the sub- jects required by the State Board of Medical Examiners of North Carolina. The college building was erected in iSqS, and the hospital, which was then used for clinical purposes, was built a few years later. Previously a small house in town had been used as a lecture-hall and hospital. In the spring of 1902 the Charlotte department was added so as to furnish the large amount of clinical and hospital material which the increase in students demanded. Since then the Senior year has been given in Charlotte, where an able faculty of competent physicians and specialists have ample clinical and hospital facilities at the Presbyterian Hospital and other hospitals in the city. In 1904 two new laboratories and a dissecting-room were added to the old college building. The institution is now well equipped with all the necessary laboratory apparatus and supplies for doing the most thorough work in Histology, Pathology, Bacteriology, and Physiological e. perimentation. The Martin Memorial Chemical Laboratories, and the Physical Laboratory of Davidson College are used by the medical students for their practical work in Chemistry and Physics. Under the efficient management of Dr. J. P. Monroe, the President, the number of students has increased from two in 18S9 to eighty-three in 1904. In three years, 1901 to 1904, the number was doubled, the increase being from forty-two to eighty-three, as is shown by tlie catalogues of those two years. At the present time the prospects arc brighter than ever l)efore. The North Carolina Medical College is fast becoming one of the leading medical institutions of the South, and one of which her promoters, alumni, patrons, and friends may justly be proud. To a Young Physician The paths of pain are thine ; go forth With healing and with hope : The suffering of a sin sick earth Shall give thee ample scope. Smite down the dragons fell and strong Whose breath is fever fire ; No knight of table or of song Encountered foes more dire. The holiest of our mortal need An errand all divine, The burden of our mortal need To render less is thine. No crusade thine for cross or grave, But for the living man ; Go forth to succor and to save All that thy skilled hands can. Before the unveiled mysteries Of life and death go stand. With guarded lips and reverent eyes, And pure of heart and hand. So shalt thou be with power endowed, For Him who went about The Syrian hill-paths doing good, And casting devils out. The Holy Helper liveth yet. Thy Friend and Guide to be ; The Healer of Gennesaret Shall walk the roimds with thee. How it all Happened (0 XCE upon a time Phillips by accident focused his eyes on Carr ' s sad countenance and perceived that ' way down in the soul of Carr there was a spot afflicted with melancholia. Phillips thereupon was very quick to retain this perception as a memory-picture and to place it in a snug corner of his spacious cranium for future reference. Days passed by and the expected halm which heals the wounds of Cupid ' s darts had not et arrived. The despondenc or blues of Carr was in no wise diminishing; and now was the time that the humorous center of rhillii)s began to work out a plan to entangle Carr. In his lonesome room (for he always roomed alone) one slee])less night Larr .sat alone listening to nothing at all and ]5eering deep into the darkness. The old hall clock had just sounded one. and suddenly there appeared at the door a head- less something that was gradually approaciiing the still form of the silent watcher. Now Carr, being a conservative man, did nothing except thought in a quiet note to himself, and watched the snow-white ghost approach nearer. It kept coming. Carr arose quietly on his stilts, which never failed him, and folding his enormous fists, prepared to make, as he thought, his last stand in this world — not even thinking of the distant girl. As the luan in the sheet came in reach of Carr ' s long right arm he let flv the aforesaid fist: tln ' ghost nieasureil its length on the floor and (|uick]y groaned: It ' s me, Carr! Is that c)ii. Phillips;- ' 1 am .sorry I hit you .so hard, responded Carr, in an excited and yet amused tone of voice. Phillips has never played ghost since. Class of ' 04 ' s Whereabouts Campbell A.

Xo man seems to be more po]5ular or more influential th;m another, or at least not to tlie extent of ffivini;- him a majoritN ' of the votes cast. (July one vote was mianinious, and that was cast for Miss Patterson as the most popular nurse. The average weight is about 153 pounds, though some included bag and all in their estimate. The age of the average medical student is 23, the size of his hat 7, size of his shoe 7. Seventy-five per cent, of them use tobacco, and most of them drink whatever the - can get, but the direct question convicted only ten per cent, of indulging in the red wine. Sixty per cent, use profanity — a remarkably small number when organic chemistry is considered. No partictilar studv can claim precedence over the others ; all received votes. Likewise all tiie |)rofessors received votes as favorites, the order running, Drs. H. S. .Munroe, .Maxwell. J. P. Munroe, Houston, and Wooten. Six hours is the time spent in study daily, though one poor fellow claimed he studied thirt - hours per day. Yearly expenses are $290.00. Politics are almost entirely Democratic, with a few Independents and Republicans. When it came to the question of the most popular man in college, every one seems to liave voted for himself or else swapped votes with his best friend. . ])artial result shows the following: Beall, Sloop, Peeler, MacConnell, .Morrison, Stone, and .Moorefield, in order named. The vote for the most lirilliant wit goes to J. W. Clark and Moorefield. The )nost intluential man is to be chosen from Sloop, Stone, Peeler, and (ieorge Clark. Wilson is without doubt the hardest student, though Yow and Iland received votes for the saine. .Ml Meds. are true sjiorts, Init the leading ones are MacArten, Grantham, Hood. Dr. Haynes, and Dr. Maxwell. T ' or the greenest man Matthews, Moore- field, Dowd, I-ong, Hand, and Rhyne received votes. Ramsev and MacArten carried off the honor of being the greatest loafers, 197 hilt tlic wlidk ' first class was in line for the position.

Chemistry and . natoniy are in line for the hardest studies. .MacArten, Peeler, . ustin, and John Hood received votes for talking too much about their own accomjjlishments. The best crap-shooter lies among Austin, Ramsey, Hood and I ' eall — tiiey will play ofif the tie. When it came to the favorite drug, Sl ' iritiis I ' niiiiciili led easily, and root beer received only a few votes. Taking all in all, we find tlie average Med. a man of mature ideas, good physique, and of fairly good habits. He studies well, is no spendthrift, and votes strictlv according to his own convictions.

Quips and Cranks (Special from The Yazoo War Hoop) On December — th, while running at the raie of lo, lo! , or loV miles per hour, the south- bound freight on the A. T. O. R. R. was wrecked about one mile from Davidson, a little town near Booe ' s livery stable, and adjacent to the N. C. Medical College. Twelve cars loaded with spiritus fnimenti, wheat, and deadly tobacco were wrecked and ruined, and the debris and melange were piled to the height of 7S4.6 ft. {vide H. L. Smith ' s Vol. 1, Superheated Atmos- phere). The editor immediately hurried to the scene, and was joined by throngs from Linden and Cornelius, neighboring hamlets. Dr. Harding was leading the way on his gallant charger, Henry, whose bloody sides and foam-flecked nostrils, showed that Dr. had scented from afar the deadly weed, for he is a great lover thereof. Visions of new barns, bought with tobacco tags, lured him on. When the editor reached the scene a few hungry-looking medical students were looking under the cars for a stiff. Upon finding none they left immediately, taking with them, how- ever, a few boxes of Reynolds ' R. J. R. and several quarts of the Oh, Be Joyful. On one side Dr. Harri.son was looking for some small wood, and incidentally for enough tags to put Mr. Schofield out of business. Who is the ubiquitous little man in shoe-brush whiskers? That is Jimmy Lee Sloan, lire insurance agent, chief owner of the S. A. L., pre ferred, man about town, Sherlock Holmes, and erstwhile mayor of Davidson. What doeth he. ' He gathereth a pile of tobacco, and wisheth to gain the good graces of the R. R. Co., that he might get a trip pass to Caldwell ' s at some future date. What is that delicate aroma that diffuseth itself through the air, and stealeth upon the senses, causing ragweeds to turn to roses, and the balmy breezes to play on memory ' s lyre? It is the Oh, Be Joyful. Several cases of it have been broken, and it is wasting away. The editor ' s pen trembles in his fingers as he writes. Creat emergencies produce great men, how- ever, and all was not lost. Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President of Davidson College, by appoint- ment of Dr. Shearer, came to the rescue by strategy. Seeing that the elixir was trickling upon some coal which had been scattered from the wrecked cars, he immediately bought it from the R. R. Co.. and had it hauled to his home. So |uickly and accurately does his giant intellect work that he saw at once that lie could use the coal in his furnace that heats his house. Rea- soning by ions and kations, he con luded that spiri as friiinenti is volatile at a low tempera- ture, so he now burns the coal in his furnace, and as the vapor ascends through the register, it is recondensed, and now he has a champagne fountain flowing at his feet. The supply will probably last until iqo6. Another master mind was on the scene, in the person of W. H. Itaker, champion football player. Seizing the unoffending cigarette by the nape of the neck, he dashed his head against the side of the car, which was penetrated like paper, and soon Itaker was passing out the l- ' erima to his friends. At this point the editor was led away by kind friends, but his last expiring gaze dwelt on Dickey collecting tobacco bags. Bill Joe getting a corner in wheat for the Davidson Milling Co., Harry Louis saving the scattered coal. Tommy trying to unscrew his mouth to say something, while a few straggling students on the outskirts of the crowd secured only a few measly Sweep Stakes tobacco. 1 I. Davidson College stands at the head of the educational system of our Southern Presbyterian Church, 2.
