Oh, could the poet ' s wish for better And higher use of dowered powers, But show in model exposition How best to use these minds of ours! But since it works not so, and guidance Leaves itself for nobler minds ; we Can but dimly, O how dimly. Look on to what we wish lo be. The tongues of bards, the lips of muses Would leave the praise but scarce begun Of deeds, by which these sturdy exiles Conquered in the land they won. How they, from meekness into pride rose. And thence to self-respect ; which last Soon merged into entire dominion O ' er self; such profit from the past! With duty first a phantom spirit Her voice grew clearer as they sped. Her sweetly sympathetic pleadings Encouraged, beckoned from ahead: And there upon an age-worn summit They found her. pausing for a space. Allowing them a moment ' s breathing Ere they again took up the chase: And going each and every runner The classic parchment, wisdom wrought. And typifying meed of service Though of itself intrinsic nought. But see! O youth, X) fellow-runners! The race is scarce begun to-day Again see Duly how she poses With one arm becks, one points away To where one height succeeds another Each higher than its nearer neighbor; Pursue and climb and strive and clamber By dint of persevering labor. And gain at last that awful height, Now spired in the misty blue And crowned with brilliant, pearly light So dazzling, blinding to the view That man its lustre only bears By slow approach through tailsome years And gains at last his goal.

During his stay at Davidson he has cultiva- ted a repose of manner that won ' t allow him to crack a smile even without figuring before- hand the energy necessary and the chemical qualities involved. In fact his meek and lowly deportment has caused a good many people to believe he is hen pecked. Oh, no, he ' s a bachelor! Edwin Thomas Cansler, Jr., B.S., H. M. n. Charlotte, N. C.

His hair, a la pompa- dour, stands up like quills upon the fretful porcupine. and each of them has its num- ber. Among his most prominent personal idiosyncracies may be mentioned his extra- ordinary precocity with respect to math; it IS related that on one occasion he differen- tiated an equation over four blackboards and had started on the stove when the bell rang. j .

His dialect proclaims the fact that he sowed his wild oats in South Georgia, but during his sojourn at Davidson, this native inflection has been preserved only by the most careful hot-house culture.

It is to be expected that he should occasionally lose control of his otherwise gentle temper, for his hair is of that beautiful golden color some- times known as Carrot. He has the most enchanting manner of first closing his eyes, then rolling them up till nothing but the whites are visible; after which operation he usually bursts forth with some deeply philo- sophical remark which fully justifies his prev- ious performance.

Of a profound mind is he — so profound that nobody has ever gotten to the bottom of it. Loves to pose as a bright mind, and avows before every class that he has not looked at the lesson. We used to believe him until he nearly made the honor- roll, so now we have our doubts. Unhappy is the man who falls under the scathing lire of his wit; for the luckless one would scarcely know whether to feel himself complimented or dragged. 46 Senior Class History Much abler than the present incumbent of that office must be the historian who would fitly chronicle the glories of 1910. It is as difficult a task for anyone to attempt to make an outsider feel or understand (he spirit of ones class as for one, after years spent in the Far East, to try on his return home to some hustling American city, to convey to his neigh- bors any conception of the Occidental attitude toward life. Life is living. Any other definition is likely to be only partial. Life is not piling up grades or athletic victories to one ' s credit, putting down on one ' s record inventions or Polar discoveries, nor is it any one, two. or half-dozen things. The best things in life are moreover, often those unseen by the public eye. Let me put you for four years to live and grow up with the class of 1910 — but I forget our college life together is now almost past. Then would no history be necessary for you, and unless such a thing could take place, you could not get more than the ripples on the surface of class life, through the class his- tory. Beneath is the real life; there also are the pearls of trust and good fellowship, of mutual respect and friendship. For knowledge of 1910, I refer you to the men who compose i t. resting assured, when you know them you will not be disappointed. But little as such a history can make you acquainted with the joys we have experienced together these four years— hereinafter stated are the outstanding events of that history. Having as Freshmen timidly made our way through the crowds of irascible Sophs, and come out alive from the fangs of the Bursar, we turned with light pocket-books, but not hearts, to meet the Sophs, again. In those days the Sophomores were terrors to every Freshman ' s heart. We managed to elude them long enough to elect James Allan. Jr., as President; E. B. King. Vice-President; F. G. Fetzer. Secretary and Treasurer, and W. L. Davidson, Historian. By this time, however, our feet were well weighted with Lake Wiley mud. What did it profit if some of us lightened them a little on the approach of the Sophs.? Did not these competent instructors, for such offences as evasion of their rules, double our lessons in dancmg, singing the laundry list and other such accomplish- ments? But in spite of all these lessons not in the regular curriculum, we did so well on our assigned work, that we put nme men on the honor roll our first term, thereby breaking the Freshman record. In athletics also we did well. We humbled the Sophs, in football, 4 to 4. We put two men on the ' Varsity Baseball Team. Dunn won the hammer throw for us. establishing the college record. Next year we returned to the Hill in all the glory of Sophomoredom. though there were few of us who knew enough Greek to tell the meaning of the word. We elected Leroy Dunn, President; J. F. Martin. Vice-President; J. L. McClinlock, Secretary and Treasurer, and H. N. Alexander. Historian. By this time we had gotten well into college life, furnishing a full quota of men to the list of the Marshals, the College Orchestra, and otherwise distinguishing ourselves. Under our mild administration, the Fresh, were reason- ably quiet. They loved us so well that they imitated what we did. When we had our banquet, it is recorded that they also had a big supper and called it a banquet. But nothing could come up to that big lime we had at the Selwyn. in Charlotte, that night. Notable among the achievements of the year was a certain occasion near commence- ment on which we blacked with shoe-blacking and other effective pigments, the whole Fresh. Class. Quite a notorious bunch of Fresh. -Sophs, were with us that year, who received as thorough treatment as the others. Among these was our present Ed-in-Chief of 1910 Quips and Crnks. (Editor ' s note.— This infamous Historian helped do the dirty work.) Most remembered by the other classes was the ease with which we took the football trophy. 47 Our Junior officers were: G. E. Wilson, President; D. A. Lynch. Vice-President; J. H. McDuffie. Secretary and Treasurer, and J. M. Harden. Historian. We were second this year in baseball, football, and basketball. In tennis. Crawford and McClintock again held the college championship, as indeed they do to-day. and ably represent us in inter- collegiate work. At Junior oratoricals. we did enough good speaking to relieve us of the necessity of doing more on the subject now. Having arrived at length at our Senior year, we have turned ourselves industriously to rounding out the college courses. Some are studying who did not study much before, while others are turning their attention from books to men (and young ladies), as neces- sarily broadening as the former. 1910 has done her part in football this year and will do it also in baseball and inter-collegiate debating. When out in life of another sort our friends have reason lo believe that, just as we have been meeting our work better this year than ever before, so 1910 will meet its responsibilities fully and squarely, and realize its motto. Eis to Prosthcn. and come indeed lo the front. And now let me say how glad I am that it falls not in the province of the present history to take in the approaching Commencement season, when, though rejoiced at the sight of the well-earned diplomas, we must sadly break the ties which have, during four years of mutual enjoyment, fellowship, and respect, bound us so closely together. May Dame Fortune deal kindly with us and especially grant that we may always remain in situation as close together as m heart.

Whereunto before they had peeped through a glass darkly they now stared brazenly face to face and nothing was hid from the knowledge(?) thereof. Many were the honors which they did besnatch from the grimy hand of fate both in the mind and the body.

S.-ll hj V SophoiTkore Class History NOTHER year has passed, with its many snares and pit falls, and Xrs ' again comes the task of the historian to record both the successes and I KS failures of the members of the class of 1912. The members of this class have, ever since their entrance, gone straight ahead to win dis- tinction for themselves as well as honor for their class, in the class- room, on the athletic field, and in every other branch of college life. Although we are now in our second year we can, with little trouble, remember distinctly our first visit to the Hill. How on our arrival we seemed to gladden the hearts of some one, for with hayseeds in our hair and diked in the most comical fashion, we were greeted most cordially (to put it gently) by the Upper Classmen with yells and Oh! you fresh, you had better lie low. We were at once taken into charge and taught the things which every man should know, such as singing; and given careful instructions in the art of wrestling with temptation and scrambling like an egg. We next began to think of organizing our class and it was decided that we should call a meeting in one of the classrooms. On this memorable day. with E. W. Shaw as President, the class of 1912, with the larger enrollment than any preceding Fresh, class, began to lay the foundation for its work as a unit. The Sophs., when they heard of our meeting, no longer spared the rod, and after this, whenever we had any business to perform, we were obliged to seek some forsaken spot where we were not likely to have intruders. After every meeting we gathered under the famous Umbrella Tree where we gave a yell for ' 1 2 in order to let the other classes know that we were not to be easily forgotten. Finally the month of February rolled around and the Sophs, went down to Charlotte to celebrate with their annual banquet. But old ' 12 was not to be outdone. So she gathered all of her loyal members together and had a banquet of her own. We had scarcely abandoned our feast when the train rolled up with the Sophs. In five minutes they were on the campus, giving their war whoops and preparing to get their revenge on those who had rough- housed their rooms. Not a Fresh, could be found, for they all managed to find friends out in town that night and for three or four days they kept shy of the campus except to come to classes. 62 On our return to college we elected Von Glahn presiden ' of the class and at once took up the task of training the new men in the way in which they should go. This was soon stopped, however, for actions were taken by the student-body to cut out hazing and to put it on the Honor System. The Honor System has made good at Davidson and we are glad that our class has been foremost in upholding it, for which she deserves a good deal of credit. It is hard for a Soph, who has already had his share of the Fresh- ing to keep from getting it back on some other fellow. We have taken our share of the honors in the class-room, in the literary societies and on the athletic field. Those in authority will acknowledge that the members of the class of 1912 have been among those in the foremost rank of every branch of college life. In our first year, although we did not have any man on the ' Varsity football team, yet we supplied about half of the scrubs, and this year these men have shown up well. Tim Pharr played good steady ball a half back and well merited his D. ' In baseball last year, we had some good material and this year we expect great things of them. Our way has m many respects been hard, but we feel that our grinding over difficult places has been the making of us and will only fit us to accom- plish even greater things before the year 1912 rolls around.

C, Freshman Class History N the first of September, 1909, there arrived on the cam- pus of Davidson College one hundred and thirty Fresh. We were not, as a rule, especially green. It is true that a great many of us were from the country, but notwith- standing this, the grass did not hang its head with envy, nor did the cows cast longmg glances at us. The Sophs, were determined that our musical qual- ities should not corrode, and the walls of the dormitories fairly rang with our warbles and trills. The fame of Caruso would have sunk into ignominy, could the music-loving world have heard anyone of our number pathetically render, Nobody knows how green I am to the tune of, O Happy Day. Nor in the meantime were our ora- tors idle. On every convenient wash-stand and bureau, the benefits of hazing were fluently expounded, and in such a manner, too, that many feared that Demosthenes would no longer be the synonym of eloquence, but that his place would be rightly usurped by a ' 1 3 man. As the night air and the Sophs, were conducive of ill health, we deemed it unwise to attempt to organize the class under the cover of darkness. So we bided our time until the grosser sensibilities of our tormentors had been satiated and our fears largely allayed. Then we assembled in the Bible room and elected the following officers: R. R. Thurman, President; L. R. McDuffie, Vice-President; J. W. Williamson, Secretary and Treasurer. After adopting a temporary yell, we immediately lined up in front of the Shearer Hall and hurled our battle cry into the very teeth of our opponents and — Ran. But there was to be a timely end to our trials and tribulations. On Mon- day, the sixth of September by the unanimous vote of the Student Body, hazing in all its forms was removed. Oh, what a relief was that! What a great relief to the blighted souls which had hitherto been so downtrodden and basely humiliated. At last we were free from the goading yoke of oppression and could now cross the campus even m the dead of night, without the least fear of being Freshed. We furnished for the ' Varsity Football Team, Thompson, Cannon, Graham, and McQueen. In the Orchestra and Glee Club, we were represented by Wilkinson, Hall, and Campbell. Although the class of 1913 has not distinguished itself in any one line, yet on the whole we have spent a very successful year. And we can rightly entertain bright hopes about our three remaining years in college. Historian.

Mac.CONNELL. 74 The Faculty Annual A marvelous vision disturbs me at night; However I try, I still see Our maltreated Annual, a horrible sight, As purged by the Faculty. The poor chastened book is vested with wings And gives off a dim, holy glare, And crowned with a mitre and other such things. It hovers above me in air. The pages are turned, a Doxology here. Then an Anthem and Psalm it shows ; An odor of incense burdens the air. With a sweet benediction to close. ' Tis sprinkled with hysop and wet with blood. By cherubs and doves attended ; Surely there never was seen since the flood So many things sacredly blended. As for Faculty pictures, there ' s not a one seen — (No caricatures are permitted) That would be sacreligious, I ween. May such presumption be pitied. The Annual ' s expression is twisted with pain; Don ' t wonder, yours would be, too. If canned moral atmosphere, filtered again, Were melted and poured into you.

A History of Davidson College Delivered before ihe Alumni Assoeiation fcj; Dr. James M. Douglas, Ph.D., of Davidson College. Way back in the remote ages of the future there were created a world. In this world was placed a great number of animals, some intelligent and some without minds. It is a happy lot that we are at least most of us find ourselves in the former class. But as I was going onto say, the world were created and we were placed in it. I don ' t mean we, but our ancestors that is our first parents. In the course of events. Eve sinned, thereby introducing sin and suffer- ing into the world. That fall of hers had a direct effect in the founding of Davidson College as we shall see later on. When Eve slipped, I should say fell, a state of affairs followed which made man by nature opposed to all that is good and noble. This brought innumerable woes upon man. Right here I might mention a few instances which will prove the veracity of this statement. The Jews had to suffer bondage in Egypt four hundred years and after that wander 40 years in the wilderness. A little later there were wars between Rome and Carthage, and still a little more later between England and America. I think this sufficient to prove that Eve fell without a shadow of a doubt. All this as I have said before had a direct bearing on the establish- ment of Davidson College which we see had a very historic beginning. I must hurry on. But right here let me say that I think we shall found the history of Davidson exceedingly interesting. But to return, the Scotch Irish Presbyterians that settled the Carolinas four centuries before the revolu- tion, brought with them their love of liberty of religion and their hatred of sin and unintelligence. We have quite a number of indications of this fact one of whom I m.ay say is the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. They were never satisfied and kept striving continually to find something, they did not know what, to fill the empty spot in their lives. About that time, the Rev. Robert Hall Morrison, D.D., came to this part of the country, and being a man of great foresight, he saw how he could please them. He succeeded in getting Concord Presbytery to take some stock in the enterprise, and soon started active operations. Later he sold stock to Bethel and Morganton Presbyteries. Right here, I may call attention to a notable fact. Morganton, for the im- portant part it played in this business, has become so highly educated that it has become necessary to build an asylum for the insane, to accommodate the crowds that seek admission to its doors. Bethel, owing to its distance from the institution, has not yet become affected. And here again, I can show how 83 geological conditions affect educational affairs. It is indeed an interesting case. Concord, although taking a good deal of stock in the matter, is sepa- rated from Davidson by the Yadkin River. Until recent times it has been so difficult to pass this stream, that there has been so little passing that Concord has not been greatly influenced. But I must leave this digression and return to the subject proper. David- son was gotten well under way when the Civil war broke. It then had an endowment of about $3,000,000.00 After the war, however, only the Chamber ' s building was left. Through the excellent perserverance of those who had charge of it, though, the work has gone on and is now better than ever. A word in regard to the kind of employees may not be amiss, as it will show the class of work done. Davidson stands, for thoroughness, and evi- dently always has done so, judging from the way it got its workmen. Of those now in its employ. Dr. Harding is the first one to be obtained. They tell us that he was gotten from Africa, where he was found inside a pile of Greek roots which he was carefully feeding to the apes. ou see, they wanted to get men who were completely absorbed in their department, and they con- cluded that they could not get a man more thoroughly absorbed in Greek than Dr. Harding. Any history would be incomplete without a sentence on Government. The executive powers of Davidson are vested entirely in the hands of two persons: the president and his co-worker, Holtzclaw. Under the efficient management of these two enthusiasts, the Peace and order are admirably main- tained. Bloody y-- — I , TN LOODY is no thing of beauty. He is large, bow-legged, ' slew-footed, thick-liped, kinkey-headed nigger, as good a . . ' - friend as the Davidson boys want to find anywhere out- ay it-— - side of the faculty. He is a living, walking and grinning y proof of Darwin ' s theory of man ' s evolution from the monkey. Bloody has a displacement of several tons if the cargo be food or drink, and when loaded well with corn can dance till the ground cries for mercy. In his sporting attire a brown derby, ice-cream pants, dark coat, and a corner in the patent leather market, Bloody never fails to make a hit with the ladies. His most popular sentences are, Don ' t mention it. Cap, and you ' re looking well this morning, len me a dime. These are always accompanied by much smiling and scraping of feet, for Bloody is usually already your debtor and doesn ' t want you to feel uneasy. He says that his only wish is easy to fill, that when he dies he hopes to be shot in the mouth with one of Skit ' s ice cream cones. A. L., ' 11. There was a Davidson youth.

His fist came up upon the left Out of his sleeve came it. And in the fight it seems quite right He made an awful hit. With cuts a few and black eyes, too. He ran and ran and ran; In utter grief all dumb she stood And cried, I ' ve lost my man. Maidens, maidens everywhere. All pretty ones are dead; Maidens, maidens everywhere. Nor any one to wed. O love me, love me, holy man. The old maid crossed her heart — Say quick, quoth he. I bid thee say What manner of maid thou art. She went like one that hath been stung And is of sense forlorn; A wiser and an older maid She rose the morrow morn. H. W. and J. S. S., ' 11. Sophomore Banquet O other event in college life at Davidson is more enjoyed than the annual banquet of the Sophomore Class, and fortunate indeed are those few who are invited from the other classes. The banquet held at the Stonewall Hotel on February 22 was, without exception, one of the most delightful ever given, and many were they who expressed the wish that it was customary for each class to hold a banquet every year. The Senior Class was represented by L. Dunn, the Junior Class by J. Moore, and the Freshman Class by J. R. Cannon. From the faculty were Dr. Douglas, Dr. Fulton and Prof. Currie. Coach Simmons also was present. One of the most pleasant incidents of the evening was the presentation of a handsome silver match box to Mr. C. S. Clark, as a token of appreciation for his valuable services in coaching the class football team. The following toasts were given: Blue and Gold, K. Sherrill ; Ath- letics, J. L. Boyd; Ladies, E. S. Currie; 69};,, W. M. Shaw, Jr.; Faculty, P. L. Schenk; 1912, L. Fl. Smith; and an address by Dr. Fulton. = IV1 E N U Celery Oyster Soup Salted Almonds Roast Turkey Cranberry Quail on Toast Cold Tongue Sliced Tomatoes Oli ' Green Peas Ice Crear Roman Punch Chicken Salad Crackers and Cheese Fruit Demi-Tasse Cigars Saratoga Chips Assorted Fancy Cakes A Dialogue The tailor to the cobbler said: I am in pressing need.

Intinicitions of IniiTiortality y S| HE early years of Holtzclaw are shrouded in a cloud of uncertain i A traditions. There are, however, a few facts well authenticated which show us that he, at an early age, realized the greatness to which he should attain. At the age of seventeen months this mod- ern Mercury uttered his first distinct articulation, aw. Think of it! Consider the sound closely. It may mean many things. For instance, it might be the fore-echo of his silent laughter as he hands his dread message to the trembling youth. It might be the affirmative replicatory adverb. It IS part of the sound of yawn, a word of mythical symbolism which signifies that one is tired and needs a rest, a vacation. It may even be his pronun- ciation of the last part of the word meteor, prophesying his calling of circu- lator among the heavenly bodies, and incidentally dropping a few souvenirs among the students who have too often felt the truth of the hypothesis that the earth revolves. The next fact we can vouch for in his youth is a remarkable one. He wept! He actually lifted up his voice and lamented! Can you imagine any- thing more remarkable. Gentle Reader? What the cause of it was we are not told, but many eminent authorities conjecture that he was hungry. Whether that supposition be true or not we may never know, but at any rate, ever after that, he had the greatest sympathy for hungry people. In fact, he often helped them so that they might pay a visit to the homefolks — especially when they were forced to borrow some generous villager ' s poultry to satisfy their gnawing pangs, at night. The most wonderful fact of all is that at the age of two years he spake a word! What was the word of which this prodegy delivered himself? I am afraid that you will doubt my word when I tell you that it was boat. Boat! Shakespeare could not have said a more exquisite thing. Homer could not have made a more picturesque utterance. It is sublime ! I would stake my reputation for veracity, which is about the same calibre as Jupiter ' s, that you cannot find a better word in the whole dictionary. We can easily see that he even at that early age appreciated that beautiful expression of the poet: Old Noah he tore his Sunday pants. While trying to do the Salome dance. What that means I do not know, and on such a disputed point I would be unwilling to advance an opinion. Some think, however, that it refers to the well-known psychological condition of the reflexive. For you may invert the first line and it reads, Pants Sunday his tore he Noah old. And you must admit that a more complex proposition could hardly be propagated. I could make it more confusing by changing it in several other ways, but one will prove my point. But what did Holtzclaw mean when he pronounced that fateful word boat? Does it not seem to be. symbolical of his future high office? By boat he meant ship, which points directly to his profession of shipping- clerk of Ml. Olympus, which office he has held many years to the satisfaction of all the Olympic gods, and with the consequent decrease of the followers of Bacchus and Morpheus among mortals. F. D.

Our hearts were rent asunder By this distressing blow. When with his voice of thunder Jove laid our loved one low. Ah, Fate, by thee, we ' re left forlorn From us our Maude is taken — T ' Elisian Fields she has been borne And we are left, forsaken. RESOLUTIONS Whereas, It has seemed good to the All-powerful One to remove from our midst the one who has been so dear to us all, and whereas, we are deeply sensible of our great loses ; therefore, be it Resolved first. That we, the students of the college and resi- dents of the town of Davidson, realize the fact that we have suffered a great loss in the death of Maude. And recognizing this, be it Resolved further, 1 hat we desire to make known our sympathy for the bereft one. And be it Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be printed in Quips and Cranks as a tribute to the memory of Maude, Dr. Harding ' s deceased colt. 107 ±r1 i f inH4ft ' Twas the month of November As each Soph, will remember That Clemson played Davidso The day it was bright.

We all realize that in union there is strength, and that the great secret of success, espec- ially in college life, is harmony and good fellowship. With this idea in view there has been organized the order of the Wearers of the D. The order at present is composed of all the undergraduate athletes who have been awarded the D and eventually to include all alumni letter men. The objects of this order are many, and it is to be hoped that the good results will be countless. To be laconic as possible, the proposition is this: To fit up a rooi some easy chairs, a writing table, etc., a room for leisure moments, a for letter men. To have an official pin; a little gold block D. There are many good men in college — athletes, who are non-fraternity n in fitting up this room where the fellows can congregate will not only be benefici source of great pleasure to fraternity men as well as to non-fraternity men. To be able to wear the little D pin appeals very much. It is true that athlete is in college he may be designated by his sweater; but after he leaves the campus his sweater is laid away to keep company with the many trophies he may have acquired from his Freshman to his Senior year. His work on the field, his victories, and his defeats are but a memory. So this pin, this insignia, not only inspires the man on the campus, but will mean much toward arousing the old time spirit that has been latent so long in the breasts of scores of old athletes of the alumni. It is an order founded entirely upon merit, honor, and skill, and the insignia should bear the same relation to Davidson ' s athletes, and the athletic world, as does the golden key of Phi Beta Kappa to him who has burned the midnight oil.

WHITNER 142 Athletics ST gl Jj HE success of Davidson since entering the inter-collegiate athletics Pl in 1897 is almost phenomenal. In addition to competing with col- leges that had been in mter-collegiate athletics lor many years, the financial difficulties proved a great handicap, as the entire support of the team rested on the student-body, at that time comparatively small. Such were the conditions .until 1904, when the Davidson Athletic Association was organized and the financial basis securely settled. But the greatest factor in athletics is the Davidson spirit. At no other institution is such enthusiasm shown or such hearty support given, and this is responsible for many victories. Every man on each team knows that the entire student-body is behind him, either m defeat or victory and is stimulated to his utmost. Inter-class athletics also add greatly m the development of new men. Those who are on the college teams are debarred from participating in any of these inter-class contests except the field day events, which are open to all. Davidson is now represented by five branches of inter-collegiate athletics: tennis, track, basketball, football and baseball. The two winners of a long tournament form the college tennis team. The track team is composed of the winners in the different events of the inter-class field meet held in April. The basketball team made a good record during the past season, but a new and larger gymnasium must be had before this branch of athletics can attain its full development. The past football season, though not quite as successful as some of past, was nevertheless very satisfactory. The work of Coach Simmons deserves much praise, for although working under great difficulties, that to many would have been failure, he turned out a well-trained team that proved itself a worthy foe. The baseball squad furnishes evidence of one of the strongest teams ever sent out from this institution, and many victories are expected. In every branch of athletics the great aim, in addition to having well- trained and victorious teams, is to have teams known for their fair, clean and gentlemanly playing, and in this, Davidson is second to none. 144 Football DeW.

A Junior Speech From the Be.§innin of Time, to the End of Eternity. „__ .iHEN we peer down the long vistas of time into the far distant pre- i historic ages and behold our old gran-dad Adam swinging on the t ' ?tf3 44 J gates of the Garden of Eden and making faces at his cousin the monkey, we wonder. And when we see little Cain shinning up the apple tree, tearmg his new fig-leaf breeches, and getting his hide tanned in consequence, while Abel, like a good boy, stays on the ground and eats all the fruit his brother shakes down, we wonder again. When we come down to later times of the world ' s history and our perceptive organs are struck by the image of Jonah paddling around m the water, chasing the whale, to get in out of the wet, we pause in astonishment. And still further on when we observe Columbus crossing the Alps in a sub-marine boat, we cannot con- tain our admiration, and wonder the third time — or it may be the fourth, I ' ve lost the count. And why do we wonder? I ask, ladies and gentlemen, why do we wonder? If you won ' t answer so simple a question, I will. Simply because it ' s easier than boning Greek. When Carrie Nation spilled all that O Be Joyful and spoiled many an honest fellow ' s anticipated little Whoopee! and Booker Washington licked the cream-pitcher clean at Teddy ' s dinner-party one day, could we have did it? I say, could it have been perpetrated by we? We draw this valuable lesson from these instances of valor, determination, and gratitude that There ' s no place like home. What is home, audience? and what is home without a — rattle? Wherever you may ramble around this terrestrial ball, there you will find hoT.es, and those homes generally contain small boys. And when the unsuspecting guest sits down he usually leaps up suddenly with a shout of joy. You may think that the doctrine of total depravity is derived from this fact, but such are not the case. Brother. It is merely a concrete illustration of the psycholosical interaction of the reflexive and motory systems. In conclusion, I would like to call your attention to the kindred problems of Forest Preservation. What else could the learned Protagoras have been referring to, when he said Enteuthen e.xelaunei, which being interpreted is, Be a gentleman and chew good tobacco. What would we do without our forests? If history repeats itself, we must all become monkeys again some day, and then of what use would tails be if there were no trees to swing from? The thought cannot be borne! We might as well not ever have any tails again! The idea is preposterous ! Woodman, spare that tree! Remember that some day our poor grandchildren may have needed Among its limbs to play. F. D. Thomas, Jr., 1910. 179 The Latest Gone are the styles of yesterday, Into the ages past.

This external equipment, however, can be duplicated by any institution having sufficient funds for the purpose. Some of its unique possessions not shared by other instittuions are as follows; 1. The character of the student-body, which represents the cream of Southern Pres- byterian home-trainmg from Maryland to the Gulf. All visitors and matriculates from other colleges comment on the cordiality, harmony, and manlmess of its campus atmosphere, its traditionary and deep-rooted Honor System. and its freedom from vice and dissi- pation. 2. The rigid elimination, by the Faculty, of unworthy or incorrigibly idle students, without regard to their own or their parents ' wealth or social position. 3. The close and personal supervision exercised over each individual student by the President and Faculty. The Professors at Davidson regard the work of class-room and laboratory as only one part of their duty and responsibility. The Faculty meets every week, and its chief topic of discussion is the character, habits and progress of each stu- dent. 4. The completeness of the records kept of each student. Since the adoption of its new system of student records, every visitor from another institution asserts that he has never seen an thing so detailed and complete. Without this intimate knowledge of the individual student, such personal supervision on the part of the Faculty would be impos- sible. 5. The fullness and detail of the reports sent to parents. No institution known to the writer keeps such students records and no one even approximates the fullness of the re- ports now sent by Davidson to the parents of its students, covering not only a young man ' s class standing, but his associates, habits, attentiveness in class, diligence, punctuality, ear- nestness of purpose, improvement or retrogression, etc. 6. The church privileges of the students. In the neighborhood of so many Southern Colleges emd Universities, each denomination is represented by a struggling, inefficient, un- attractive mission-church. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that growing and vigorous intellectualism, comparing such an exponent of religion with the ability and learn- ing of its classrooms and laboratories, should adopt a campus attitude, first of indifference to a religion, and finally of ill concealed contempt. The Davidson students see church life at its best, participated in by the intellectual leaders of the College community. The church building is modern, the congregation main- tains its own home and foreign missionaries, and is noted for its harmony, intelligence, and liberality. In addition to the formal catalogue, the College publishes a Special Bulletin, writ- ten for the information of prospective students and their parents. Either or both will be sent on request.
