John Bunyan Shearer, D. D., LL. D. JOHN BUNYAN SHEARER A . B v A. M., M. A., D. D., IX,. D. JB. SHEARER was born in 1832, in Appomattox County, Virginia. He was • the oldest son of John A. and Ruth A. Shearer. He was prepared for college at Union Academy, and graduated with the degree of A. B. at Hampden-Sidney College, in 1851. and the A. M. degree in 1853. In 1854 he took the degree of M. A. at the University of Virginia. He was Principal of Kempers School at Gordonsville, in 1854-55, entered Union Theological Seminary in 1855, and finished his divinity course in 1858. He was licensed in 1857 and was ordained, by Orange Presbytery, pastor of Chapel Hill Church, North Carolina, which position he held from 1858 to 1862. Then he took charge of Spring Hill Church, in Fairfax County, Virginia, where he combined teaching and preaching, founding the Cluster Springs high school in 1866. In 1870 he was made president of Stewart College (now the Southwestern Presbyterian University), occupying this position until the reorganization in 1879. He then served as professor of History and English Literature until the reorganization of the Theological department, in 1882, when he took the chair of Biblical instruction, including Hebrew and New Testament Greek, until 1888. In this year he was elected to the presidency of Davidson College, which position he held until he resigned in favor of Dr. Smith, in 1901. Since 1901 he has held the chair of Philosophy and Biblical instruction and has also been Vice-President of the College. The subject of this sketch received the degree of D. D., first from McCown ' s school in 1871, and afterwards from Hampden-Sidney College in Virginia, in 1873, and the degree of LL. D. from the Southwestern Presbyterian University, in 1889. As a preacher, Dr. Shearer is sound, able, earnest, logical and instructive, and was eminently successful in his pastorate as long as he was engaged in that work. As an educator he stands the peer of any, as has been abundantly proved by his work in the different schools with which he has been connected, especially Stuart College, the Southwestern Presbyterian University, and Davidson College, where he now conducts an indispensable course in Bible study. Indeed, he is a noble specimen of a great educator. One of the ripest scholars and ablest theologians of the age, he holds that education is insufficient without a thorough knowledge of the revealed Truth. As a friend and citizen, kind-hearted and sympathetic, just ami generous, liberal without ostentation, slow to promise but scrupulously faith- ful in performance, strong in conviction of right, but free from bigotry and fanaticism, faithful and unremitting in his attention to whatever he undertakes, ever ready to assist the poor, defend the helpless, and take the lead in all charities and good work, he is almost without a peer. In summing up the life of Dr. Shearer, it is safe to say that few men have led a more useful life to the church, society, or mankind. Things About College QUIPS AND CRANKS STAFF Editor-in-Chief J.

IN CHIEF ( iiii ' s and Cranks Staff EDITORIAL IT is not our purpose to make apologies for this volume. In it we have endeavored to portray a glimpse of campus life as seen by us here on the hill. A college annual should be a well balanced mix- ture of fun and facts, as is the life which it represents. This is our effort, and we hope that none will be offended at whatever friendly jibes are found within. We wish to express sincere appreciation to those who have aided in making this volume of Quips and Cranks a success. —J. S. S. FACULTY Henry Louis Smith. M. A.. Ph. D., LL. D., President.

I Latin at Davidson College 13 SENIOR GLASS POEM Not for years since, we came a motley band Into this place ; with deep desire to learn New things and strange, each eager soul did burn. Each vear ' s mistakes, as well as triumphs, fanned That burning ardor to yet brighter brand. Each year we changed: from Freshman ' s self concern Emerged to Sophomoric pride, in turn New notioned Juniors, now as Seniors stand. Encrowned now with powers that hidden lay. Living at last for all, not for each. Enriched and strengthened, body, mind, and soul, Vain was our strife? None but would answer. Nay, E ' en more than all it cost, ' twas worth to reach New potency of life with this our goal. Now have we come, ' twould seem, unto the end Up towards which, all these years, we made our strife ; Nay. rather the our first real day of life Come newly to us; straight we must ascend, Prepared or unprepared, heights that extend A weary way. with difficulties rife, Rude adversaries conquer, slay with ruthless knife All those false fiends that fain would seem a friend. Thus ever striving through the ceaseless years. Unfaint, however hard the battle be, Shall we our Nunc Paratus battle cry Sound clear and certain, and despising fears, Up, onward climb, each day more victories see. More worlds o ' ercome, and fame that cannot die. — Poet. Senior Class Officers C. B. Craig. President J. A Scott, Vice-President R. C. Sample, Secretary and Treasurer K. J. Foreman, Poet Jas.

The walls of Davidson resounded for four years with the tenor subroso voice of Jim. who always tried to gibe everyone, even to Dr. D. But when the gibe turned on him there was no one who could take it and swallow it better, though it gave him indigestion. With all bis faults he has shown us what determination can do and has established a most enviable record. His most noticeable characteristics are his mutilated cough of disapproval, bis philo- sophic attitude, and the length of time he stayed • in Astronomy exam. If you want to know where he is from ask him to say mouth and coffee. Everyone who sees him once wishes iii see him again. S. W. ANDERSON, Anderson, S.

He has all the signs of genius and some of the counter signs. At times he resembles a love-struck Dug, at tunes a pensive Cartledge, at times a chanting Huske, and at times a sceptical Syd. If variability were a sign of versatility, Slug would be a Jack of all trades. He ran always talk and occasionally make one listen. He will never be a memorj -thai i- to say, a Lake Wily— but gives promise of a bright fu- ture. There is nothing so discouraging as a promising youth. 16 WILLIAM CYRUS BAILEY, Cuxto.v S. C.

Round bead is given to burling the leather pill and twirling the golden fleece, which, being interpreted, means that he is Varsity pitcher and Varsity Female vogitator and acrobat. Born to smiles and good nature, one of the heartiest fellows in college, he lives for the joy of living, and lives up to his principles and economics of common sense. Not a crucifier of the flesh. nor a mortilier of the spirit. A lover of music, Astronomy, and billets-doux. Oh you Cy! TIP CL1XTOX BALES, MORRISTOWN, Tf!XX.

Only this fact keeps him from occupying an exalted position among great musicians. If he were called Herr Teu- felsimhollesangvogel Konigvonohrspaltendow- ski be would he immediately recognized. This genius possesses the unique ability of com- posing and then of executing his compositions. Ill- two best known works are: Nero My Dog is Dead. to his tuneless modification of the hymn. Nearer My God to Thee. and The Hd Family Toothbrush. His free con- cert- are usually held between twelve and one o ' clock in the morning.

( Hi ye gods, when I ope ' my mouth, let no dog bark. Bedinger is faithful, at least to himself. He dreams of conquering worlds and chews bis cud. He goes into every contest and wins the pot of gold a- (lid the farmer ' s son in Aesop ' s fable. If his bottled-up egotism should explode, his equilibrium would not be disturbed— this 1- Quips and Cranks ' way of thai he cannot he ruffled. His ability is only exceeded by his stability. s W • L If i 1 11 WILLIAM AVORY BENFIELD, Derita, N. C. 1 will show the cinders of my spirit through the ashes of my chance. A. 11. Phi. Age. 27 years.

One of onr bar- nacled weather beaten comer posts on which this class expects to build her structure of undying fame in the future. He talks little, but always has the corners of his mouth turned up, which, means that every classmate speaks a good word for him. DORSEY THOMAS BRADSHAW Burlington, N. C. Not I know him is to think him peculiar. A. B. Phi. Age. 28 years. Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Weight, 130 lbs. A hammer and a hatchet and a box of tacks — is little, is seen little and says little. He flits about like an animated ham. Me knows much, and this knowledge sticks out ii all occa- sions, lie has an affinity for Cornelius which puts a needle and a magnet to shame ; with all Ik- possesses a gift had by few — no one can say anything ill of him.

Probably the most cursed man on the cam- pus, especially about seven-thirty on a frosty morning. But he has been evoking unmelo- dious clangor from the college bell for so long that he has hardened to all sense of shame. He does not spend all his time in this pleasant pursuit, however, for he is an orator of repute, a business man of no mean ability (did you ever try to bargain with him?), an enthusiast in matters historical, and, last but not least, a persevering ladiesman — just ask him and see him blush.

Everett has been tacked on the end of many a college yell lie is a great athlete, and then some — which refers to the fact that he stars ii Senior Bible. Dangerously handsome, with that I ' .illikin smile of his, he is welcome anywhere in college. And. next to his honors on the athletic field, he is best known for his unusually great number of friends. JOSEPH HENDERSON CALDWELL, WlNNSBOROj S. C. 1 cannot diagnose me if 1 try. A. B. Eu. K.2.

An orator from wayback, somewhat like Demosthenes — at least in one respect. Demos- thenes ' oratory was like the sea. because of its roar, while Brother Can ' s is like the sea be cause of its great extent and little content. He finds great difficulty in deciding whether to be a lawyer a la W. J. Bryan or a backu Is M. E. parson. Maxej suffers from the dis- ease of Egotism, which arrives with his car- load of Bombast. His only redeeming feature is that he rooms with Jug King, which is em nigh hi mi ir for one man. GROVES HOWARD CARTLEDGE, Athens, Ga. There ' s nothing ill can dwell m suck a temple. A. I!. M. A.

He went in for athletics in bi- Freshman year, but since then has become enamored of science, and has gone in (over his head) for Chemistry and the Higher Criticism, lie is somewhat of a stranger to the campus, usually being found in the chemical laboratory. His very demeanor impresses all beholders with the vastness and loftiness of bi- knowledge, and he is always more than willing to impart large chunks of said knowledge to am philo- sophical inquirer.

Its center and circumference, the air of all its hopes and fears, the pride of the local Farmers ' Union, in a wend, its most prominent citizen, has for the last four years been wearing his long and lanky way thro ' the halls of Davidson. G.

A paradoxical character. A charter member of tlie Davidson misogynist club, but the author of the most heartrending poetry. He is considered one of the deep men of the class, whereas everybody knows he is the light man of the college. His only smiles are pro- voked by Dr. Grey ' s French jokes.

Grandma is a mixture of a ramrod and a smile. He is cultivating the ramrod, but the smile was educated at birth.

With her lovable disposition and innate knowledge of how to make others happy. Miss Ingham has made a lasting place for herself in the hearts of the Senior class; and has made our class separation sadder than it could have been if we did not realize that it also means parting with her. And while we realize that we can never express in words the high regard in which we hold our only Co-ed. yet we are sure that even if we could, it would not do justice to her exceptional worth.

The goal is near. We have fought a good fight. Thou art ours. The race is run. The prize is in our grasp. Hail the lusty victors — 1911 ! Through the hypnotized, kaleidoscopic lenses of our Freshmanhood gleam forth glows of experience — weighty experience — striking e xperience. Thanks ! Oh, 1 910! Through the aberrations of our Sophomorishness flash pictures in the twilight of a millenium of undimmed superiority. Superiority of experience — Through the reflections of Juniority we see the struggle for leadership. Leadership of body ! Thanks! Oh, 1910! 1 !ut then we saw through a glass darkly, now face to face we see this course. Now we see ourselves as Freshmen worshipping at the shrine of the Seniors, bowing at the altar of the Juniors, and heaping intangible incense on the Totem Pole of the Sophs. We see ourselves as Sophomores tyrannizing our fellow pilgrims coming after us to seek the goal, disputing the dignity of the Juniors, yea, questioning the authority of even the Seniors themselves. We see ourselves as Juniors, contemplating the Fresh, with contempt, regarding the Sophs, with disgust, and viewing the achievements of the Seniors with envy. I tut now we are Seniors. The course is smoother now. Our sins of omission and sins of commission are treasured as virtues of class-standing no longer. They savor alone of class rank. Shallow indifferences are forgotten ; restraining ties are loosed ; narrowing bonds are broken Our Mecca has been reached after passing safely through the scorching desert sands of criticism, and in this Senior year of ours we have writ in golden letters the forms of 191 1 in the minds and hearts of our students, in the traditions and inviolable customs of our College, and on the pages of achievement of our Faculty. Xo longer Freshmen hunt the Woods. Thanks! Oh, 1911. No longer Sophomores hunt the Fresh. Thanks! ( )h, 191 1. As men we have not been deluded by the plaintive babes of Barbarism, but have looked the Declaration of Independence squarely in the face and have decreed All men are created free a nd equal. This has been voiced, and echoed, and will be re-echoed, and Hazing meanwhile rots in the mausoleum of past regrets. To us has been reserved the creation of the Student Council, that instrument which tortures the unruly muling spirit of babes and sucklings until they gorge the true pap of collegehood which would nourish them into men. To futurize history a little we see in the days that are to come, the garners of success and power pouring forth their riches at the feet of many of our members, and the reaping of the harvest grain is but a necessarv sequence to the planting of the seed in the days that are no more. Bound with the bonds of friendship, let us look up, not down, and lend a hand. — Historian. HAVE MERCY A man is dumped in dead of night. In falling to the floor He strikes his head upon a chair And gives a gentle roar Against the man who broke his sleep, Who almost broke his head. The Student Council now appears ; Just listen what is said: Are you the wretch who made that noise. Who shook this building o ' er? Have We not told you many a time. Have We not said before, That if again you roused us up You ' d shed full many a tear? Tomorrow when the clock strikes two At Council you ' ll appear. The clock strikes two, the wretch is brought Before the great tribunal. Mis face shows innocence in chains . But that is no rebuttal. They ' d warned him once, they ' d warned him twice. And he ' s been dumped again. So their decree is 23 , And he must take the train. h, Student Council, lighten up, I )i n ' t be SO hard on us ; Remember that it ' s our hard luck. We ' re made of common dust. When we fall out of bed at night. Are at your bar arraigned, Remember that the quality ( if mercy is not strained . —A. L.. ' 11. Junior Class Officers J. L. R.

HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS UTn HAT can I do for you, sir? said the hotel clerk to an elderly gentle- X man. who had just arrived. Want a room? all right, sir. Mere. Sam. show this gentleman to room No. 52. The old man looked at the register for some minutes and then said: What dues the man in Xo. 75 look like? I don ' t know, replied the clerk; but he is in his room, you might go up and see him. The old gentleman knocked softly on the door of No. 75. Come. said a voice mellowed with age. He entered, at the same time crying, ' Bill, how are you ? Why, I don ' t believe I know — wait — is that John? — what in the world! The two clasped each other ' s hands in the old-time way and were soon seated in front of the window talking. I was just thinking last night about some of the things that we used to do: do you remember in our Fresh year how we had to dodge about until we could elect our president? what was his name, let me see? — Shaw — O, yes; do you ever hear anything of him now ? I did hear about fifteen years ago that since he had become a surgeon it takes two issues of the daily paper to print the death list. You know I often think of the banquet we had at Airs. Be-Ba-Brady ' s — that ' s it — that was a great old time, about half of us spent two weeks in the village after the event. By the way, did you see in the Davidson Bulletin some years ago — let me see, it was in 1925 — that the class of 1912 established the custom of no hazing which has never been violated. We were certainly a class. Speaking of banquets, though, that one in our Soph year was the greatest thing ever, that was the time that fellow — let me see — that big fat boy Swine — Swinet Something, 1 forget his last name — any way he made such a good speech. I heard not long ago that he had a case in court and everyone said that his client would have gotten six months but he made a speech in his defense and they gave him five years — ha! ha! Pretty bad on him. It is a funny thing, but very often I have that same feeling that 1 had the day we won the Football cup in our Junior year, feel like T could tear up something. They don ' t have many classes like ' 12. — (tap! tap! on the door). There ' s some one wishes to see you downstairs, Mr. . — 1 Iistori AN. r Sophomore Class Officers W. S. Golden, President L.

But the class of 1913 had so profited by those six days of training that we scarcely felt the lack of the finishing touches of the customary tar diploma. ( ur men entered all phases of college life, and showed up well. Really, — mirabile dictu — a few used their text-books. Again in September, 1910, we returned to resume our knowledge-fishing, somewhat weakened in numbers, but otherwise intact. Here we found a multitude of strange looking beings who we soon learned were fresh. No one could compel them to drive away the dullness of the opening days ; but their involuntarily and continually acting comedies and tragedies did much toward this end. ( )ld politicians were not in the game when compared with the scheming of our men to elect their favorites. Two stormy meetings were held before we could elect our officers: W. S. Golden, President: L. White, Vice-President; and W. C. Davis, Secretary and Treasurer. To win distinction for themselves, honor for their class, and glory for Davidson is t he determination of our men in athletics. This last fall our class had three men on every team representing Davidson. In class athletics, our teams compare favorably with the best, although we have not yet captured a cup. ( ur banquet was held on Feb. 20th. this year. This is the social event of our college course ; hence we bent our efforts to make it eclipse all former events. All who attended gave a unaminous vote that we succeeded. Fate, thou hast been kind to nineteen-thirteen ! Cherish this small band of knowledge-fishers. Protect the wearers of the white and green Always, and those who so ably teach us. — The Historian. 60 Freshman Class Officers W. H. Si ' RUNT, President J. M. Henmirix. Vice-President J. R.

FRESHMAN GLASS HISTORY ONCE upon a time, to be more exact in the fall of iqio, there assembled in old Davidson a heterogeneous conglomeration of recruits come to rein- force the mighty army of ignoramuses in their struggle to wrest knowledge from the small but veteran army of intellectual giants. But long before this reinforcement had arrived, a compromise had been ef- fected to wit : that the army of ignoramuses pay a stipulated tribute, for which the giants of the intellect gave them a certain amount of knowledge. Accordingly, after reporting to General Smith, who instructed us as to our arduous duties, and paying our quota of tribute to Quartermaster Douglas, we were formally en- listed into the multitude of strivers for knowledge, by a reception in the Arsenal of books. Fresh recruit- as we are. we have not accomplished any very great deeds, either on the gridiron of athletics or the gridiron of the intellect, but always have we followed our colors of blue and white and our motto to be Loyal en Tout . At the call of our President. Sprunt. many went out to battle for the Inter- class Football Championship. We fought hard and after losing the first game succeeded in tying the second. Then came the great game with cur arch enemies, the Sophomores, who, not having been allowed to display their vaunted physical superiority over us before, introduced much pugilism and profanity into the game, then beating us as our men had had no experience in this kind of play. On the gridiron of intellect we have done better. In the daily skirmishes, although many times we were shot through and through, by a desperate rally in the great battle just before Christmas, we managed to shoot and totally rout our enemies, gaining great stores of provisions for the future. We lost not a man in this victory, although some received severe wounds and others lost a finger or a foot. After coming back from winter quarters much refreshed, a sudden raid was made upon us and several of our men who had been shot repeatedly and whi i could not keep up were lost. In time our General Sprunt succeeded in rallying our flying forces and we are still in the fight. — Historian. m 66 ' OWED TO JUNIOR SPEAKING To clasp thee in my arms, beloved ; To touch thy lips with mine : To press in raptured joy thy hair — ' T would be almost divine.

ELLIOTT A DAVIDSON TRAGEDY I WAS passing a certain boarding house the other day. when I suddenly saw the ice cream run out of the door and into the yard as hard as it could. Of course 1 became at once curious and ran after it to find out what was the matter. I found that the ice cream had been frozen out. Well, it at once came into my head that there must he some cause for it, s. I inquired into the matter and found the immedia te cause was that the cake was sponging on everyone. I, of course, wished to know why this was, and upon asking the cake it said it couldn ' t live with bread any longer because it did nothing hut loaf. Bread loaf? Why. there is certainly something wrong to bring about such a phe- nomenon — - so being determined to get at the bottom of it I inquired further and found that the bread was dependent on the pot; and the pot was boiling over because it had been fired. It then occurred to me that the cook must have something to do with it, so 1 asked her about it and found that she was mad for a g 1 many reasons: the lemons were sour on her because they had been squeezed; the pepper was hot because it had been shaken; the candy wasn ' t sweet on her because it had been pulled, and the strawberries had been raising a row and jarring everything because they were jammed up in the coiner. Everything was in a stew and nothing panned out right. The eggs claimed that they were all white from fear because the onions looked so strong. Then too the cook accused the dough of being ill-mannered because it didn ' t rise when she entered. The only thing that didn ' t seem affected was the milk and it was skimming along as usual every now and then something occurred to it. The knife was sharp and had gotten out of the way. not being cut out for a row. The cheese ran away. There seemed to be something fishy about the whole thing. I just expected the next person I should meet (meat) would mast me. The coffee claimed from good grounds that it was finer than anything else and this settled the matter, — 1 ' . [.. S. ' 12. STUDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT AT DAVIDSON ■ — AST Spring the students of Davidson College realized that as in all _p A progressive communities there must be a certain form of government; so in the life of the students here mi the campus a form of self-government was desirable, as a means of expressing the sentiment of the majority of the students. This need was more strongly felt because it was recognized that here, as in all college communities, tbere are some students who are not disposed to regard the rights and comforts of their fellow students, and because, all restraint being removed with the abolishment of hazing, some immature members of the Fresh- man class would be likely to conduct themselves in a manner unbecoming to a new student and provocative of the former class rivalry. Realizing ' these facts the students adopted a system of self-government which aims to correct such conduct and practices in the dormitories and on the campus as are directly contrary to the sentiment of the student body ; and to eliminate as far as possible all class friction and to secure a more efficient enforcement of the Honor System. As the name indicates, the students themselves are the enforcers of self- government. Each member of the student body is on his honor to do all in his power to make the movement a success. To each individual student belongs the duty of enforcement; while the representative council of fifteen students from the various classes is simply the medium through which violations of the honor and sentiment of the student bod)- can best be handled. The students themselves are responsible for the permanence and success of self-government. I las this movement proven a success? It is still in its infancy, but we believe it has accomplished much for the advancement of life on the campus, and is capable of still greater results. Never before in the history of Davidson College have the classes been on more friendly terms; never before have the rights of their fellow students been more highly regarded. The honor of the students is high, college spirit pervades all of the intercollegiate contests and has been a great factor in a year of victories for Davidson College. CASEY JONES (Student) The lounging Cassius Jones slowly rolled his ultramarine eyes in the direction of the door for the forty-ninth time, then laboriously rolled them away and rested them neatly upon the Clothing Agency. I fe chose the Clothing Agenc) in absence of a more substantial support. Wonder what ' s th ' matter wid de ' old lady ' : 8:45 an ' ain ' t showed up yit. I let a jit he ' s loafin ' at Help ' s an punchin ' my ticket. Having dislodged this line of dope from his spacious oracle. Cassius passed into another one of those listless periods and dreamed — dreamed of a whole circus of things: that the Bulletin was read by a strong man with a Barbarosa beard and that it caused spontaneous combustion of his medulla; that Napoleon came back in ghostly form, riding a broomstick, and mopped up with the Phi. Society for not cleaning the tallow oft his wedding chandelier: that the bones of the stiff in column four of Chambers had reassembled, and. filling the hollows with the whisky out of the jug in column three, it (the stiff) had mounted to the cupola and, after circling the campus thrice, had flown off in an aeroplane made of human bones ; that Wake up. old gal ! Casey woke with a start, and. thinking Gloomy was the stiff come to take him away, jumped into the closet at a bound, upsetting the Shoe and Aluminum agencies as he did so. A heart}- laugh, however, from the meek-eyed Gloomy brought him to his fleeting senses and he roared in tones voluminous; Well, where ' s my mail ' ' Come across now, kiddo, gimme that lumpy ' billy-doo. ' But it happened that this was an off night with Uncle Samuel, and si 1 the poor Cassius got none. Disappointed in love, this creature was wonderful to behold. The beautiful rainbow of iridescent lights which played in his peeking pupils would have given spazzums of saccharine joy to a pugilistic policeman, hut to pour Gloomy — Nix. The Toothpowder Agency, the Shoe Agency, the Watch-fob Agency were dodged in an expert and sportsmanlike manner, and designs were being made on the Picture Agency when ii was stopped in midair by a knock at the door, and a yell i EXTRA — All about th ' great discovery! — Davidson issue of Charlotte ( ' hronicle. The wrathy. riled, rantankerous Cassius, being of a curious nature, lowered the Picture Agency from its ethereal position and purchased a paper. After some further words of reconciliation he ami Gloomy, the dear old woozy-eyed Gloomy, so harmless and philosophical, made up. Cassius lounged again; lit an Old Mill. and began to devour the luscious literature. MAGNIFICENT MYSTERIOUS GIFT TO DAVIDSON COLLEGE. Will of Immortal SHAKESPEARE FOUND In Which He Bequeaths To College A Complete Set of Plumbers ' Tools, Pipes, Ropes, etc. (slightly used), to be set up as ( )pen Air Gymnasium. The wonderful scheme will be at once acted upon. NO STUDENT SHALL USE THE GYM. EXCEPT HE DRINK POSTUM, CHEW CHICKLETS, EAT ' EGG-O-SEE ' AND WEAR HOLE- PRl l( F H( )SE. At this point the enraptured Cassius gently disengaged his peepers from the --acred fountain of Dippy Dope and paused a moment in delight. Ah! how sublime, how great! Little did his youthful heart realize that in several moons hi own handle, Casey Jones would be fame itself. Little did the youthful student realize that he would one day become the mighty Engineer and read his own name in the papers. Casey Jones! And ' tis well — the strain would have been too much. Ah ! The words seem to float up to me now and ring in at my receptive ears: Casey Jones was the rounder ' s name. In a big eight-wheeler he won his fame . Thanking y u f r ycur time 1 will say : A little Dip Dope now and then. Is relished by the wisest men. 1 1 Jet wise. I THE D. G. QUARTETTE II. W. WlIITI.ntK K. L. Bishop G. H. Cartledge C. I..

He took a very raw squad and before the season was over, the light but hard-fighting team, he had developed, was making a name for itself. This season he took up the work where he had laid it down and turned out the little electric machine — the talk of the South. But Coach is more than a great athlete, more than a wonderful coach. He is a man, possessed of all the high qualities, mental, moral and physical, which the word implies. To say that he is loved by every student is but a weak expres- sion of the regard in which he is held by every man in school. We can ask that he lie but one thing more, but we insist on this — that he be our coach next vear. 93 SCRUBS II. R. r.nswKi.i..

And when we remember that the knights were the guardians of the nation ' s honor we can understand how truly needful was their training. ( ur college battles are fought today on the gridirons, and the men who wear the l)s are our belted knights. They, like the knights of feudal days, must be trained by much practice and hard work, and this they get in no better way than in our class contest. All the men on the Varsity get their training here — there is chance for every man if he will but be a true, consistent worker, to win his D. In the season of inic-mu the Junior class won the championship, after a hard-fought contest. May the classes in the coining year do their duty to their college by training the knights of the gridiron to that high degree that Davidson has taken for her standard.

The electric machine from Davidson College surprised the football world yesterday by defeat- ing the husky Herculeans from the University of North Carolina by 6-0, and aside from winning a glorious victory, the Presbyterians set a new precedent, this being the first time its team ever scored against Carolina. . . . The Davidson rooters went wild when Booe kicked goal, making the score 6-0, added enthusi- asm was unbottled from the sidelines and stands. Davidson ' s GREAT FORM Davidson played as phenomenally spectacular as Carolina played phenomenally listless. With a handicap of at least forty pounds a man, the machine from the Presbyterian college displayed form of which their heartiest supporters had never dreamed. There is no need to try to evade the fact that the midgets clearly surpassed the big fellows from Carolina in every department of the game with the exception, perhaps, of the de- fensive work, and in this regard they went far ahead of expectations. In offensive strokes, in monkey plays, in punting, and in end work there was no comparsion between the teams, Davidson being far ahead in these respects of anything the defenders of the Write and Blue afforded. With- out sparing words, it may as well be said that Carolina got off some mighty poor stuff. . . . STAR WORK While the entire Davidson team played a great game of football in every phase of the spurt. Booe, Kluttz, Richardson, Ervin and Graham deserve the greater credit for the signal work of 96 the afternoon. Cashion was no slouch in the pinches, and the miniature line stood up to its task with a strength which seemed to be born of the moment of inspiration. Booe demonstrated the fact that he was the greatest combination of defensive talent on the field, and Carolina had no end man to cope with the superior display of Khtttz, who was another sensation. These two men are veritable wonders. They have every- thing that makes a football player. Booe was certain to make a substantial gain when he got his paws on the pigskin, and if Kluttz fastened so much as one finger on an opposing player, he held him. Booe clearly outclassed Carolina ' s punter, and hardly in any of the ingredients of the game can one find one element in which the Presbyterian machine did not forge ahead of Carolina. ONLY TOUCHDOWN OF GAME The only touchdown of the game was made in i 154 after the second quarter of the last half was begun. The ball was passed back, but signals were missed and none of the backfield touched the oval, which then rolled down the field. Two Carolina men attempted to regain its possession, but tried to pick it up instead of falling on it, and Richardson, the smallest man nn the field, lassoed it and ran over the line amid the wild shouts from enthusiastic spectators. — Charlotte Observer, Sunday, Oct. 16, igio.

Whitener 146 iaut Hou, Nnrtlj Carolina The equipment of Davidson consists of II campus buildings (not including residences); gymnasium; a dozen or more tennis courts; two athletic fields; laboratories for Chemistry, Physics and Biology, with ample apparatus: water- works; electric lights; eleven bath room-; and a library of 20,000 purchased volumes. 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 institutions are as follows : 1. The character of the student-body, which represent- the cream of South- ern Presbyterian home-training from Maryland to the Gulf. All visitors and matriculates from other colleges comment on the cordiality, harmony and manliness of its campus atmosphere, its traditionary and deep-rooted Honor System, and its freedom from vice and dissipation. 2. The rigid elimination, by the Faculty, of unworthy or incorrigibly idle students, without regard to their own or their parent- ' wealth or social position. 3. The close and personal supervision exercised over each individual -in- dent by the President and Faculty. The Professors at Davidson regard the work of classroom and laboratory as only one part of their duty and responsi- bility. The Faculty meets every week, and its chief topic of discussion i- the character, habits and progress of each student. 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 anything so detailed and complete. Without this intimate knowledge of the individual student, such personal supervision on the part of the Faculty would be impossible. 5. The fullness and detail of the reports sent to parents. No institution known to the writer keep- such students ' records and no one even approximates the fullness of the reports now sent by Davidson to the parents of its students, covering not only a young man ' s class standing, hut hi- associates, habits. attentiveness 111 class, diligence , punctuality, earnestness of purpose, improvement or retrogression, etc. 6. The church privileges of the students. In the neighborhood of so many Southern Colleges and Universities, each denomination i- represented by a struggling, inefficient, unattractive mission-church. Under these circumstances it i- no wonder that growing and vigorous intellectualism, comparing such an exponent of religion with the ability ami learning of us classrooms and labora- tories, 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 maintain- it- own home and foreign missionaries, and i- noted for its harmony, intelligence and liberality. In addition to the formal catalogue, the College publishes a Special Bulletin. written for the information of prospective Students and their parent-. Either or both will be sent on request.
