For whatever is amiss we feel deeply grieved; for ffiEw whatever is good we feel that we have done only what was our duty and nothing more. It seems fitting in this connection to say a few words concerning annuals in general at Davidson, which we hope will prove a lubricator to all the fellows and a help to suc- ceeding staffs. There seems to be an idea prevalent among the students that an annual is strictly a publication of the Senior Class. This is false. It is a spectrum of College life, a center of interest to every man whether Freshman or Alumnus, and an advertisement for the College. The Seniors ' only share in it is to see that it is published. With these facts in mind we hope that future annuals will be supported by you as a common benefitor by those benefitted alike should be. And now we express to all supporters a kind appreciation for whatever aid they have rendered us. Editor. .facult? Hf.nry Louis Smith, M.A., Ph.D., LL.D. President.

O, these are barren tas s, loo hard lo Igeep — Nol lo see the ladies, stud] , fast, not sleep. Big Alex says he was born in Charlotte, but we know him better; he came to us from the fields, redolent of new mown hay. Born at hay- ing time, Sept. 23, 1891, he is still in the process of curing. Alex has three abilities — ability to sleep through chapel and on all classes save Senior Philosophy, the knack of selling fobs to the Fesh, and the spirit that wins a football D. His biggest mistake in college was mixing that equine laugh of his in with Greek — as a result he had to go to lab. faithfully to make amends. He is one good egg just the same and will some day put an admiring congregation to sleep, out at Sharon, rehearsing Dr. Shearer ' s jokes. John Charles Barry Moore, S. C. B.S., II. K. 4 .

First of all he sings Barry-tone. on this account he belongs to the Glee Club, and it would tickle him in stripes if he should learn lo Sing-Sing. However we should hate to see him balled up to sell (cell). If you should look all over South Carolina you couldn ' t find a better fellow or one in whose presence you would tire less or who would make you laugh more in a given length of time than Jack Falstaff. His efforts in class football and basketball have been indespensable to us, and Davidson will lose a good man in him. J.R.rVr Theodore Ashe Beckett, Jr. John ' s Island, S. C. A.B., Eu.

In his Fresh. year he war- deemed a murderer, in his Soph, year he roomed at Sloans; as a Junior he trained his salted vocal apparatus, and now a Senior he can almost say creek instead of crick. Charleston boasts of her great men but from all appearances she will have reason to proclaim more loudly and lustily when Tommy starts his walk in life. He is good, but he is jolly; he is rcligiou:, but thank Cod he keeps it in bis vest pocket until occasion demands it; be is witty, but no one has ever been the victim of an intended slander; be Everett L.

Had it been a dog that howled thus we would have hanged him. Bish. came a long ways to bore us for four years. He inherited the leadership of the orches- tra when quite young, and has handled his legacy much after the manner of a baby elephant in Barnum-Bailey. For the latest slang see him. for the latest tunes stand outside his door, and for solutions of the fourth dimension look in his math, tablet. He can entertain you as well as the best one and will give you the last thing he has even to his last cigarette. is smart, but knows more than books. He has been known to talk too much and too often, but is always willing to be told. Cecsar had his Brutus, Chas. the Second, his Cromwell, and by the gods, 1912 has her Theodore A.

Courtesy rvinneth many friends. An athlete without a parallel, and a gentle- man whose genial fellowship and uprightness in all phases of life, however trivial or great, makes his presence desired by all and gives us a subtle feeling of silent admiration on all occasions. The newspapers of the South have already spread his grid-iron fame, and his place on the All-South- Atlantic-Team proves his worth with the pig skin. If you ever want to get on the good side of him. buy him a pound of raisins and promise not to let anyone know he has them. We guarantee to all who come to know him a happiness in their new knowledge. Hal Reid Boswell Penfield, Ga. A.B., Eu., Gryphon, II. K. A. Age, 21; height, 5 ft. 9 in.; weight, 145.

He is dependable, has never failed us at the pinch. On the diamond, short is his element, and his deadly peg to first is a sure thing. As manager of the Red Electrics, he delivered the goods; his ready smile and quiet voice win him friends always. Hal does not waste words but get him started and you find him on the right side of the fence. A steady worker and favorite from fresh, to faculty. It is reported that he likes the society of a certain young lady, and wonders whether she ' ll stay young if he took her to the Cracker State. We can ' t stop you, Hal.

Though he claims the same cognomen as his next-door neighbor, J. L. R- , he is as widely different from him as night from day. Popular among his classmates as an all-round good fellow, he astonished everyone by hts rapid budding-forth in his Senior year. A football hero and a gym. stud. he is not very brave when he meets the fairer sex, for he and his room mate take turns in claiming a single lady as my girl.

' Harper distinguished himself in his Sophomore year by backing hastily away when a shrill fal- setto from a train window piped Hello Harper ; willing hands seized him and forced him to meas- ure up to the Davidson adage: Never say no to a lady. and Harper had to shake. Harper ' s greatest end is his complexion, and his room looks like a barber ' s advertisement — massage cream, cold cream, and powders galore being in evidence. He wiggles when you congratulate him, contorting his countenance in an unbelievable way. He is steady, true to his principles, and has a good word for all. Don ' t try to connect him with Harper ' s seven year old, if appearances are against him. -W. B. Brockington Kingstree, S- C. A.B., Eu. Age. 20; height. 5 ft. 10 in.; we.ght, 137. Secretary Eu.

Bros has a brogue and a terrible time deciding whether to yield to bashfulness or a kindling fond- ness for calico. He pronounces job as we pronounce the name of the patient old prophet Job, he says dawler for ' dollar, and fug for fig ; he ambles along like a coon from the swamps of the Edisto, and enunciates like the African article. He is a Lynchesque orator, and a martyr to the cause of dead languages, a good manager of the Magazine, and a faithful, inde- scribable performer in the gymnasium, a singer of some pretention, a dresser, and a gentle gentleman.

Jimmy has the honor of being the littlest man in the class of 1912, as well as one of the most popular. He escaped calamity in his fresh, year by rooming at Lafferty ' s, but came to 27 Chambers to spend the rest of his college life; quiet, unas- suming, gentle, is Jimmy, His latest development is general merchandise in partnership with Swinrt Smith. You can look at Jim and see that his ancestry settled in Virginia, but he has not yet learned after thai explosive old school manner; he learned to smoke, ihought better and quit; he an l e found either at 27 Chambers or al the Barne ' s Club any time.

The gravity and stillness of your youth, the l hole Vorld hath noted. Jim is conservative in all things. He spent his fresh, year consoling Pa Reaves, who was the victim of the diabolic imaginations of the Sumter trio; in hir second year Jim made strenuous efforts lo reform D.F. , but gave it up, got another old lady and prospered. Steady, reliable, and honorable, he has pursued the even tenor of his way. winning a place for himself in the estima- tion of liis males. 1 1 in is not one of the gilded bricks ornamenting the eaves, but one of the solidly cemented foundation bricks, as true a brick U ever deserved the title.

Every year the class football team counts on Skinny as the old reliable, for he always comes out and never aspires lo a D.C. He has also starred in class baseball, and on the wrestling mat is a dangerous man. Ordinarily he is safe and perfectly harmless, but woe to the man who trifles with him. The chemical laboratory knows him well, and possibly the German laboratory has made his acquaintance. Skinny has so many accomplishments that we wouldn ' t know what to do without him.

He should have been a fashion model — perhaps he is. In the gymnasium he is a worthy performer, in basketball he is graceful, and in his sporadic efforts at football he has been called Ted Coy. In his Senior year he is using his supreme grace to manipulate the gold-headed cane up and down the historic aisles of Shearer and Commence- ment Halls. We couldn ' t stop him if we wanted to.

As to his social side he stands unmatched — genial, bright, tactful and good looking — in fact the best company for a well man. for a sick man, for a child or for an adult. In his book: he always stands on the sure side. On the football field he calls signals that always go. But he can ' t go to chapel, not that he doesn ' t wake up, but that he doesn ' t like to hear the chapel choir. Mortimer Cosby Danville, Va. B.S., Gryphon, K.A. Age. 20; height. 5 ft.

From the pygmy of 1908-09, he has grown into the giant of mathematical intellect of 1912, having absorbed all the malhmatics that was ever exposed to his attacks. After making the Honor Roll in his freshman year, he degenerated into a sophomore, then reformed and has been a pluper- fect stud ever since. Late in his college course he began the study of music with extras. I Ir is a confirmed B.S., but it is feared that he will prove false to the first letter of the degree.

Crab is the pride of Rose Hill, N. C . He delighted the hearts of his parents when on his fifth birthday, March 28, 1888, he broke a three year silence and said one word, aviation. When Stacy was eighteen he cleared the mists by adding that aviation called for sky pilots, and that he intended entering Davidson for a primary course in pilotry. Crab is a combination of determination, solemnity and honesty, genius Salt of the Earth. His greatest difficulties in college have been getting singers for the Y. M. C.

Constitutionally opposed to the strenuous life, he is continually showing that it isn ' t necessary by making good grades with an incredible amount of work. He is said to be a confirmed cigarette fiend who smokes once every week without fail. You will find him a perfect store house of advice with which he is as generous as he is with every- thing else. What Frierson hasn ' t tried is not worth trying, and his exploits vary from catlleship excursions to spieling for socialism. S. C. Hart Mt. Ulla, N. C. A.B.. Phi.

He could make all sorts of marks if they would hitch a dynamo to him from seven till ten p. m., Sam ' s greatest troubles are: his feet, his blushing cheeks, and his wastline.

We have decided to raise our insurrection about June 1st, 1912, and never go to chapel again unless it is of our own free will and accord. For any one who could escape his vigilance, Sing Sing should hold no terrors. We greatly fear that since Walter has been engaged in the jewelry business in Dav:dson he has corrupted the natives and marred their simple tastes by the display of his glittering wares.

He Is a college man, believes in work. and lives up to his belief. His ability as a speaker has awakened the ambition in his breast to be another Moody, and where his heart calls his feet move.

There ' s one flaw which we all have picked in him— he comes from Winnsboro. being himself five-eights of the population of said place. His chief occupation lies in his being pall-bearer, having had several coughing spells during his short career. Last fall, however, he directed his energies along new lines and graced a wedding in a borrowed investment. He ' s the pleasanlest we ever knew, he s as bright as his room-mate ' s hair, congenial and indispensable to his classmates.

It is hard to describe Swametts style of beauty except that it is different from Long Shaw ' s. The most widely accepted theory at present ir that he was originally much like Shaw, but the sun struck him when he wasn ' t looking. and he melted and settled down. At any rate, he ' s a solid fellow. As an orator and debater, he is one of our very best. Steady and reliable, he bears his many honors with dignity, except that lince he has been manager of the Lyceum Course he has grown unusually fond of the talent, especially the readers and soprano stng- eri.

And this sketch gives a few of the anecdotes that circulate around the board at the fortieth anniversary banquet of the blue and gold men. The roll had been called and two names found to be enrolled in other regions. Dr. Silica Siler died at the age of 48 because of the premature discharge of Silerite while the Doctor was making a test for the benefit of President Chink George of the Celestials, relative to the adoption of this explosive by the Chinese Republic. The other missing member was Hon- Alphabet Boyd, who came to grief in 1950. Mr. Boyd was, at the time, head coach of the Marsyou aero-ball team, and while umpiring a game between Davidson University and some small Virgina college — Washington and Lee, I think — his bi-plane fouled in a murky stretch of moral atmosphere, and coach Boyd died as the result of compressed gas, his calf-skin shield proving inadequate to the task of withstand- ing the pressure. Pi of. Egbert Shaw, of the Higher Learning for Women, as first president of the class, made a few remarks about the memorable year 1 908. But overcome with emotion, he sank into his place before he had arrived at the tar and creasote incident, I can ' t, he sobbed, I can ' t think of those black finger prints in the old Y. M. C. A. bath room, and retain my dignity. We came trustingly from our flowery homes expecting to be welcomed in the true Scotch-Irish fashion to the halls of erudition, gentleness, chivalry, ' yea, being ' yea, piety plated stronghold of Calvanism. Instead our welcome was typically Irish, with the fight on one side. I can ' t help it. Pardon my incoherence and call on Dr. Von Glahn. Dr. Von Glahn, an honorary member, responded: Gentlemen of 1912, I have helped institute the honor system at John ' s Hopkins, and during the five years of my presidency, I have rejoiced much to see it; but should I live to 2000, I shall never feel the same pride that came to me when, backed by the men of 1912, I pledged the old class on the right side of the hazing question. We did it and 1913 backed us up, others may claim the precedent, but 1912 took the stand that made glad the hearts of every Davidson man. A graphophone was then brought in and placed at J. L. R. Boyd ' s vacant seat. A hushed silence pervaded the great hall as we listened to the voice of the dead Junior President- A jar, a screech, and then, My friends, knowing the uncertainty attendant upon my profession as exponent of aero-ball, I am entrusting my message to this waxen disc, remembering even as I do so the gutteral discords that emanated from a like disc in the office of our long suffering librarian back in the old days. I may be a denizen of Pluto ' s realm or a trusty of St. Peter ' s, but whereever I am I shall recall the licking we gave 1911 in class football, and that coveted trophy we won. The dying strains of Lie low, lie low, come like balm to my senses. As fresh, we took our medicine in the shape of raised standards and sophomoric diabolicals; as sophomores we suffered silently, while the newly evolved fresh, of 1913 sported fobs and gloated over green and white pennants, and as Juniors we played fast and won the football cup. — But good gracious — screech — ? ? ? — yours very cordially, J. L. R. R. R. Rev. Mollie Boyd, D.D., pastor of the first Presbyterian Church of West Davidson arose. Oh, you Mollie. The cheers echoed and re-echoed, then silence. My brethren, his clerical bass rolled through the hall, I am glad to see you all — to see a goodly number living up to the motto, Esse Quam Videri. Those who seemed to be, have dropped by the wayside, those who are, are as true as the gold of our banner and as loyal as the blue. We did not shine o ' er bright as college men ; we did not sing to the tune of our own trumpet; we did not strike the high-brow pose and pass with lordly mien, and I am not here to eulogize, but men, we hit the line together, pegging, digging, altogether. We landed the first intercollegiate debating trophy for Davidson College; we had a goodly number of honor men, and a goodlier number of honorable men, and as long as the Goddess of the Dawn paints the eastern sky with gilded blue, so long shall the brothers of I 91 2 face the forces of time, being rather than seeming to be.

Dfistor of 3unior Class O NCE there was i legend that, situated somewhere among the hills and hedges of the surrounding country, was the garden of knowledge, and that in this garden of knowledge there dwelt the God of Wisdom, and that all who worshiped at his shrine would derive incalculable benefits therefrom. The legend that is told, inspired in the hearts of a band of travelers, the eager longing to make a pilgrimage to this garden of knowledge for the purpose of worshiping, and thereby sharing the blessings of the great God of Wisdom. So at last, one day they set out upon their adventurous journey Now the only road by which the garden of knowledge is accessible, is that called study, a rough and perilous way, and hard to travel. The journey over it is divided into four parts with recuperative intervals. At first all went well with the travelers, and under the kindly instruction of their guides they made wonderful progress. But soon things were changed. Some of the travelers, becoming disheartened, turned back homeward ; others, discouraged by the rough way, sat down by the roadside to rest; but the greater part, with brave hearts, toiled upward. The second part of the journey the travelers found steeper, the dangers more perilous. Great rocks, called Dailies, rose before them, and rushing torrents, called Reviews, crossed their pathway. The travelers were not divided into four companies. There were some who lept from rock to rock, and who swam bravely through the torrents — these were called studs. Others stumbled over the rocks and strangled in the waters of the Reviews — these were known as boneheads. Leading off from the road called study, were pleasant pathways and gently wooded slopes, where dwelt the Goddess of Pleasure with her handmaidens, the Sirens, who, by their sweet songs, lured others of the travelers away from their duties. These deserters were called the rounders. The last class, like Ulysses ' men of old, stopped their ears and heeded not the Sirens call, but pushed ever onward — and these were the boners. And still the journey progressed. The third quarter of the way the travelers found easier, the road broader, the ascent less steep. Their feet were fast becoming accustomed to the rough highway, and now they advanced rapidly. But suddenly one day there loomed up before them a huge boulder, completely obstructing the way. On inquiring of the guides, they learned thai it was the rock of the Junior Speaking, and that every one who would reach that garden of knowledge must needs climb over it. So a halt was made in the journey, and one by one, the travelers clambered over the rock and landed safely on the other side. And now the travelers have come to the end of the third part of their pilgrimage. Only one more yet remains. Already afar in the distance glimmers the golden shrine of the God of Wisdom. While wafted back to them are the victorious shouts of other pilgrims gone on before and cheered, and encouraged by these, the travelers are ever pushing upward and onward. Historian.

Charlottesville, Va. Ifistor? of tbe Glass of 1914 C AESAR, conquerer of the Partisans, sent to the Roman Senate this message: Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered. The history of 1914 could be ¥ £ summed up in these words. We came. We will long remember it. For years back some of us had vowed that once done school, we would never again open a school book. Others had listened to fathers stories of college and had dreamed of what we would do there. So after our parents, swayed by Dr. Smith, and doubtless believing the catalogue, had decided to send us to Davidson, we accepted the decrees. We left home believing that the Weekly Pain would take note of our departure with some editorial on our lives, and feeling that in no way did we resemble that traditional Fresh. But as we neared Davidson, we began to be afraid that that awful hazing had not been actually discon- tinued, and that the beautiful tails of it ' s abolishment were only to allure us unsuspecting into the hands of the dreaded Sophs. But the catalogue was true, we were met at the station not by the expected tearing mob, but by a chanting company of pilgrims, waving aloft palm-branches of peace and bearing concilitory offerings of coffee and sandwiches, greeting us affectionally as brothers under the banner of the Y. M C. A. Can you longer doubt that universal peace is pos- sible? We did doubt it though, for we feared the Sophs, bringing gifts. We saw — and paid — and saw that we were not yet in the isles of the blest. Within a day or two we had been enthusiastically welcomed by Dr. Smith, and had been per j mitted to pay to the Bursar, all of our fees and dues, and even then had only begun to pay. We were then visited by all the authorized (??) representatives of the student body and paid them our campus fees, for the privilege of standing on the campus. We were assessed radiator fees for the use of the radiators in our rooms, we were sold old books long since out of date and even paid for the doors and windows in our rooms. We then realized that we could never hope to do anything without organization, so we met for this purpose, electing the following officers: President, W. H. Sprunt; Vice- President, Mac Hendrix; Secretary, H. L. Flliot ; Historian, L. Richardson. We were the largest Freshman class ever at D. C. Then we immediately began to conquer. On the first Monday the Fresh- baseball team met the Sophs, and even dared to beat them, a thing that had never happened before since once the Fresh, had beaten a Soph, team and had spent the night in a neighboring village. This worthy impression we uphold by having several men on all rhe college teams. Next we assayed to have our class picture taken, but we failed because of a severe storm that came up, for no sooner were we huddled together than from apparently cloud- less skies and empty windows came a pouring rain. Indeed this suddtn outpouring of water was the most objectionable burden we bore. In class football immediately after Christmas, we had a good team and played well, but had a Freshman ' s luck. Now drew on Commencement time, and we had come to know each other and to realize that there really was another class at Davidson. We had learned many lessons, shared many defeats and victories. So we went our way for the pleasant summer months. We came back in September to give personal supervision to the running of the college. Although the colleges had expected material decreases in students, so far had spread the fame of our class that mothers were willing and anxious to have their sons intrusted into our suspicious rule and care. The Fresh, class was just our equal in numbers. Accord- ingly this year has been a very bright one in the history of D. C. This year, with the kind and valued assistance of Everett Booe, we won the football championship, after a hard fight with the Seniors, who came very near depriving us of the honor. 1 he crowning event of the year was the swell banquet we had in Charlotte on the night of February 1 9th. 1 he success of this is mostly due to the efforts of our manager, Joe Hillhouse, and his assistants. If you haven ' t heard of it, ask a 1914 man. May the success of 1914 in the future be as great as it has been in the past, and may white and green lead ever to victory.

Cobb • «- Ifistor? of i i avi5soTi (Lollege A MONG the early settlers of the Piedmont section of North and South Carolina, was a large body of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, men of solid character and solid ideals. I hese men had fought for religion and religious liberty in the old country; they were leaders in the struggle for political liberty before the revo- lution, and they had found that a permanent political freedom on a sound and worthy doctrine of religion, must be founded in education. Following this principle they established a number of schools in the Piedmont section under church supervision. One of these was chartered by the colonial legislature in ! 770, under the name of Queen ' s Museum, located at Charlotte, N. C. Its charter was annuled by the king, and his council amended and passed again by the legislature and, a second time annuled by royal decree. For some years it was conducted without a charter, until in 1 775 it received another under the name of Liberty Hall Academy, as a college supported and controlled by the Presby terian church until 1 780, when the threat of British invasion caused it to be suspended. Work was never resumed, and so the first fore-runner of Davidson College terminated its existence. But the idea of founding a college in Western North Carolina was not dead, for the need of such an institution was constantly felt. In I 820 a convention was held at Lincoln- ton in which it was resolved to found a college. Its name was to be Western College, and for it a charter was granted by the legislature. The government was to be vested in cor- poration of truseees, free from ecclesiastical control. After several meetings the trustees decided in the summer of I 824 to adandon the scheme altogether, for the reason that there were too many discordant interests to be united, that it was feared that certain undesirable teachers might have a place in it, that thre was a disagreement about the location and that friends of the university opposed it. So ended the second attempt. On March the 12th, 1835, when the Presbytery of Concord was in session, the Rev. Robt. H. Morrison introduced a resolution that the Presbytery establish a manual labor school and that a committee be appointed to investigate the best measures for founding it- Mr. Morrison was made chairman of the committee, and in the following August repoit was made that $30,392.00 had been subscribed, and a tract of 496 acres of land pur- chased from William Lee Davidson. On August the 26th, 1835, it was decided that the institution should be called Davidson College, after Gen. William Davidson, who was killed at the battle of Cowan ' s Ford. The erection of buildings was begun in 1 836, and in the following year, supported by Concord, Morganton and Bethel Presbyteries, Davidson College began its work. The first session opened on March the 1st, 1837, with 66 students enrolled. Rev. Mr. Morrison was President, being assisted by two other professors. The manual labor system was incorporated with all its honors. Students were classified according to their skill and excellence in labor. The best grade received a reduction of $3.00 from their monthly board bill in payment for three hours work per day. The system proved a failure financially, partly because of the enormous breakage of tools at the hands of the student- laborers. Apparently, its effect on the student was generally bad. Accordingly in the term of 1841-42, the system was finally abandoned. The year 1840 saw the first graduating class leave Davidson. In the following year Dr. Morrison resigned because of declining health, after an able administration in which he manfully fought difficulties and shaped affairs in such a way as to make possible the continuance of the college. In 1844 Rev. Samuel Williamson, began his administration, which lasted until 1854, his labors were nothing short of heroic, and the amount of work that he did regularly was marvelous. During most of his time he acted Pastor of the college church and taught nearly a dozen subjects in addition to his regular duties as president. During this time the trustees adopted the plan of selling 20 year scholarships at $100 each in order to secure ready money. The plan helped at first, but soon these outstanding scholarships almost brought the college to financial ruin. In 1 848 the Eumenean Society began to agitate the question of building a hall, with such success that the building was erected and occupied by the end of 1849. The Philanthropic hall was probably built not long before or after this. Dr. Williamson resigned the presidency in 1854, after perhaps the longest term that any president has ever served. The year following Dr. Williamson ' s administration brought the greatest single bene- I action that the college has ever received. Mr. Maxwell Chambers, of Salisbury, died in February 1855, having in his will bequeathed $258,000 to Davidson College. About $45,000 of this amount was forfeited because of limitations imposed by the charter of the college. But with her greatly increased endowment, the college began to make rapid progress. This was in the administration of Dr. Drury Lacy (1854-1860). The faculty was enlarged, and new buildings planned. Chambers building was erected at this time at a cost of about $85,000 — a grand old structure remaining today one of Davidson ' s most valuable possessions. It is interesting to surmise what might have been the growth of the college if the war between the States had not come as an awful blow to our prosperity. Dr. John L. Kirkpatrick became President in 1860, and to him fell the task of guiding the college through the civil war. Only two classes — those of 1861 and 1864 — were graduated during his term of office. Many of the students left their studies to enter the Confederate Army, yet the exercises were never suspended until a few weeks before Gen. Lee ' s surrender. Through the general ruin of banks in the State, and the depreciation of securities, the college lost all of her endowment except $70,000, and was left again to face a period of trouble and uncertainly. In 1866 Dr. Kirkpatrick resigned, and Dr. G. Wilson McPhail, was elected by the board of trustees to fill the vacancy. The choice proved a wise one, for the new president showed himself well able lo cope with the situation, and under his administration the college made rapid strides forward. The number of students in the graduating class increased Irom one in 186 , to thirty-one in 1871. But during commencement in 1871, Dr. McPhail, naturally feeble in health, fell sick and died, leaving the presidency again vacant. Instead of electing a rew president, ihe trustees placed the government in the hands of the faculty, with Prof. J. R. Blake as chairman. A short time sufficed lo prove that the right man was in the right place, for the college soon began to show signs of progress under Prof. Blake ' s wise and vigorous administration. At I his time tuition fees were increased in order that the faculty might be strengthened, and entrance requirements were made more rigid to secure a higher order of scholarship among the students. The financial position of the college was made more secure by the extension of its government so as to include all the Presbyteries of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and the employment of a financial agent to enlarge the endowment fund. During this period also the present executive committee system was adopted. Prof. Blake seems to have had the support of his faculty in all of these measures, and to have conducted his work in such a manner as to secure general approval. He resigned his office in 1877, at the time when it was decided to go back to the more usual form of government under a president. The choice of president fell on Rev. Andrew Hepburn, then a professor in the college. He served until commencement of 1885, and then, feeling that in his views of government he did not agree with the trustees, he insisted upon the acceptance of his resigna- tion. He was succeeded by Rev. Luther McKinnno, who served until he was obliged to resign in 1888 on account of his failing health. Among the interesting events of this period may be mentioned the beginning of the Davidson Monthly, the college student publication, now called the Davidson College Magazine. Its first issues were ably gotten up, and they compare very favorably with the present day numbers of the magazine. In the fall of the same year an independent department of English was installed for the first time with Prof. Currell at its head. In I 887 was held the semi-centennial celebration of the foundation of the college. In 1888, upon the resignation of Dr. McKinnon, a call was extended to Dr. J. B. Shearer, of Southwestern Presbyterian University at Clarkesville, Tenn., to fill the vacant Presidency. He accepted and continued in office until 1901. During his administration the college advanced noticeably, one of the innovations being the chair of Bible. In 1890 the Morrison Memorial I lall was built, being the first Y. M. C. A. to be erected on a Southern campus. The growth of the Department of Chemistry received a tremendous impetus with the building and equipment of the Martin Chemical Laboratory in 1 889, and since that time the department has compared favorably with that of any other Southern college or University. In 1901 the Shearer Biblical Hall, the gift of Dr. Shearer, took the place of the historic but antiquated old chapel. Dr. Shearer resigned the presidency in 1901 in favor of Dr. Henry Louis Smith, then Professor of Physics. Dr. Smith ' s administration has vindicated the wisdom of choosing a layman to stand at the head of the college government, for in no period of equal length in her former history, has Davidson made such wonderful strides forward. The student body has been more than doubled in size, and the faculty has been enlarged and strengthened. Three new dormitories and a library building have been erected, and other improvements effected. The General Education Board offered the college $75,000 if $225,000 could be raised from other sources. The offer was accepted and under the leadership of Dr. Henry Louis Smith, Dr. W. J. Martin, and Dr. Thos. W. Lingle, an energetic cam- paign was brought to a successful completion on commencement day, June 1st, 1910. This increase in it ' s permanent fund, though it does not make the college a rich one, places it on a firmer financial footing and removes the uncertainty of its former hand-to-omuth existence. The spirit of the Davidson student body has kept pace with the growth of the college facilities. In September 1 909, the custom of hazing was abolished by a vote of the students, and for the first time was effectively checked. The spring of the same collegiate year saw the inauguration of student government. Now the conduct of examinations, the preserva- tion of college property, and the guarantee against hazing are cared for under the Honor System. Student government is carried on by a student council of fifteen men, elected to represent the entire body. We have reason to believe that these changes have brought last- ing good to Davidson. As the present issue of Quips and Cranks goes to press the college is preparing to celebrate the Sesqui-centennial anniversary of her establishment. The close of the 75th year of her existence finds Davidson College better prepared than ever before to meet the demands made upon her, and it is the hope of all her friends and well wishers that she will crown the labors of an able past with further achievements in a glorious future.

MUTT AND JEFF HAVE COME TO DAVIDSON COLLEGE, Jl.iltim.r.r.rJ, Wfyal attars Jpleasurc I had often heard of the joy lovers experience on their wedding day, but never imagined that it could be as great or as full as the happiness that came to me on this occasion. I was engaged to Brighteyes Muchgold, the prettiest and richest girl on Mars, or I may say the priettiest in the universe. The wedding day had at last pulled around, and at six o ' clock in the evening Brighteyes was to become mine. With her went a gift from her father of ten million dollars which greatly added to her charms. At ten the night befor e I became restless and decided to go to Mars immediately, so I ordered my machine around and set out. This would put me in Mars within two hours at least, if the upper current wasn ' t too strong, and everything else went smoothly. I had frequently made the trip in less. Soon we were speeding through the air at a rate of about two miles a second or more. The earth with her lights were soon out of sight — almost in a jiffy. We sped by numer- ous stars, and the races we had with some of them were interesting and exciting. Everything went well until we were about half way to Mars. At this point the machine became slower and slower, the engine almost stopped. I had never seen the car act thus before. I became frightened, but before I could consider the cause my driver, excited and pale, yelled back to me. We have struck the milky way and our propeller is clogged up with butter. By this time we had stopped perfectly still. Soon we began to drop. Down we went, gaining speed every moment. It was all we could do to stay in the car, with it turning over and over and descending at such a terriffic rate. The lights of the earth came in sight and — with a terrific crash, we hit. When I came to myself I opened my eyes to find the car, now a white iron bed, mattress and all on top of me.

A., which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The spacious lower floors were thrown together revealing a broad and inviting expanse of polished surface. The scene was a gay and festive one — the gentlemen is conventional black and the ladies beautifully gowned and bejeweled. From the balcony overhead there was wafted langurous, dreamy waltzes, and spirited, exhilerating two-steps. Senor Barr ' s Orchestra was decidedly at its best. The college faculty from their seats in the gallery viewed with evident delight the gaities below. Promptly at nine o ' clock the Grand march was commenced, gracefully led by President McDonald of the Y. M. C. A., and Miss Lizzie Howard, who was unusually charming in a delcotte gown of pink satin embroidered in dog-eye pearls. Miss Howard ' s spectacular dip assured this debutante a full card and a galaxy of admirers. Among the other dancers who won marked applause from the gallery were Mr. D. Bigger and Miss Willie Shaw, in their original Alcohol Twist. Miss Shaw ' s lithe and willowy figure was adopted to sinuous curves and scintillating movement that this dance demanded. No account of the ball would be complete without especial mention of Miss Oates — the spearmint brunette with the wrigley eyes who quite surpassed herself in the Grizly Beai and Turkey Trot. Miss Oates, though not a debutante, still creates her sensa- tions and many seasons will elapse before she will ornament the wall along with Misses Mollie Boyd and Earline Watkins, which cousins, we remember, were centers of attrac- tion some years ago. Messrs. Farrior and Andrew White alternately led the intricate figures of the German with Miss P. Cowles in a magnificent toilette of crimson crepe de ' Eoline, and Miss Daub Kerr, particularly girlish and winsom in soft white chiffon over duchess satin. During the evening a refreshing and delicious fruit (?) punch was graciously dis- pensed by Miss Sistine Bowman, a radiant vision of lovliness. Her graceful lines were enhanced by a Parisian creation of black velvet and real lace. Mr. Shep Nicholson and Texas Harrison ' s continued presence around the punch bowl created much talk. The ball was well chaperoned by Madam and Grandma Phillips, two dowagers who have not altogether lost their girlish beauty and former charms. Among some of the prominent persons present were Misses Harwood, Collins, Robertson, Wearn, Hollister, Hall, and Dunn. Messrs. Beckett, Currie, Hoyt, Golden, Mackey, Parker, White, L., Campbell (Cook), and Dr. Carledge. fiat 3 obsoit The above is a picture of 1912 ' s faithful mascot.

Nothing is attracting more attention today than a most interesting little treatise written by S. Bowman, entitled Beauty, and How to Obtain It. The author, while experimenting in the physirs laboratory, discovered a marvelous electric eradicator of blemishes. She had experimented on herself with wonderful results, and is now giving the benefit of her new discovery to the world. The mathematicians of the day have been startled by the issue of an Improved Trig- onometry, including twelve place logarithmic tables. The compilers, Messrs. Bishop and Young, are accepted authorities on all mathematical questions. T hey are especially qualified for writing this as they have been making a careful and painstaking study of this subject — (three years under Prof. Douglas). Dr. Samuel B. Woods has brought forth the most scholarly scientific work of the present century, The Conservation of Energy. Dr. Woods, a man teeming with energy and vitality has been for many years experimenting along scientific lines and this masterful work is the natural outcome of the untiring efforts of a great man. A new book has recently appeared, fresh from the prolific pen of Mr. J. L. R. Bcyd. Gas, It ' s Uses and Abuses, is written in the authors usua l convincing style.

This versatile cosmopolite, with all his pathos and subtle humor, has drawn a vivid picture of stage life. Rumor has it that the book is founded on an incident in the author ' s career. After a year ' s absence in Paris, Mr. S. Weather Rogers, has returned to this country to push forward the publication of his What to Wear on All Occasions. Mr. Rogers is a recognized authority on dress, and his book will be of inestimable valu to the perplexed.

PHARR Right Half Back In his fresh year Tim made the scrubs and showed Varsity caliber; in his Soph, year he made his D, and since that time has brought credit to himself and glory to Davidson as a good, clean athlete. We can ' t say that Tim is such a star as some, he isn ' t, but he is a worker, and about the steadest and best you ever saw. On offence, always good for a gain, on defense, he mows down interference and gets the man. He can play any position and fills them all with the same characteristics which has made him an invaluable asset to our last three years of football, and shows us that Tim is a man. It will be a long time before we have another Tim, and we would hate to trade with ' em then. He is 5 ft. 11 inches, and weighs 1 oU pounds. E. L. BoOE (Captain) Half-back Captain Booe, our all South Atlantic half-back, continued his good work this year that last year made him famous throughout the South. Booe is primarly a half-back, but at quarter and full he is equally at home. He is fine at advancing the ball, exceptionally fine at running back punts in a broken field, a certain quantity in executing a forward pass, and finally he is one of the very fore- most of the several excellent punters, that Davidson has developed in her athletic his- tory. In summing up the many great qualities of this player, we can but use the language of a Southern coach: There is only one Booe; a slippery bundle of nervous energy, dodg- ing, sidestepping, elusive, sensational, all the time, that is Booe. Without a peer as a punter or a quick kicker, we have at left half-back a brilliant little jewel that would shine in any backfield. Weighing but 154 pounds, and standing but 5 feet 9 inches, Slip is without a doubt the best all-round athelete in any Southern college. He has no vices and is always in training, and is a gen- tleman in every respect of the word. David- son is proud of him. J. L. Harrison Left Cuard This stalwart, blue-eyed Texan, although a new man, promises to be one of Davidson ' s premier guards. This big boy never talks much, but his actions speak louder than a carload of phonographs, or even Bully McQueen himself, could possible speak. The day Texas arrived he called this guard his guard and filled the position as one born to it. This big boy does not simply fill a hole, but a whole line of holes, and when the opposing backfield starts they are not out of Texas reach until they have cleared the end. With all the possibilities opened up before him we predict Texas will not need a press agent to make him famous as a grid- iron star. He weighs 1 65 pounds, and is 5 feet I I inches in height. J. R. PHIPPS Left Tackle One of our old coaches has said, David- son has always been weak on tackles. Evidently he has never seen our Parson Phipps play this wing, for Phippsy battled though competition and accident for two years before gaining his much deserved D. Laid out last season when he was sure of a position, Phipps came back this year with a vengence and on the old 49 tackle-play made many a yard for Davidson. Strong, steady and reliable, no one is uneasy of a gain or mass intereference when Phipps is on the job. Being 6 feet tall, and weigh- ing 1 70 pounds, he is one of our strong men. We are glad that he will be one of the old guard next year and can show the youngsters how to handle the pigskin. %  D. A. Bigger Right Guard Dave won his laurels this year after work- ing his way up step by step. His first year in college he only made the class team; his second year, he rose to a position on the scrubs; and this year landed a position on the ' Varsity as right guard. He is one of the most consistent workers on the team, is never rattled, and plays his position like one of the Old Guard. He will fight you until the cows come home, and then some — quitting is not in his vocabulary. Strong, physically, and having will power enough to stick to the very last, this is the true type of athlete we have at Davidson. He stands 5 feet 1 inches, in his stocking feet, and weighs 1 80 pounds. We can say without any hesitation, that he will undoubtedly shine in the coming season. We will all watch him with great interest. E. S. CuRRIE End and Quarler-bac Talk about a man who has worked to win his laurels, we have only to mention Ed. He started in his fresh year on the class team, served on the scrubs for a term of two years, and finally reached his goal in his senior year. Ed is one of the hardest workers that has ever appeared on the Davidson gridiron. Everything he does is with all his might, from tackling a dummy to telling a charming little lassie how much he thinks of her, then kissing her good-bye. We can only say that we wish we had more material like Ed. He can play most any position on the team — this year alternating from end to quarter- back. To use the slang expression of some, when Ed. Currie hits you you certainly know you have been hit. He is also a star in the gymnasium, being captain of that aggregation in his junior year. He is 5 feet 9 inches, and weighs 145 pounds. L. Richardson Left End When the same thing happened last year it was Richardson, the snappy little David- son, and who was on the spot, and he re- peated himself this year. Picking up the pigskin he set a course for Carolinas goal — . And so we have Lump, a mixture of tabasco, horse shoes, and four-leaf clover, when on the football field. We can safely say that there was never an end at Davidson that could recover a punt or pick up a fumble with as much ease as he can. Proof of the pudding is in the eating ; and proof of the player is quick thinking, and this is one of Lumps great attributes. Twice in as many years has he recovered a fulmble of the N. C. back-field; once making a touchdown, and the other time making 50 yards. Yet with all these achievements he is a small, modest unassuming man, know- ing his own worth and doing things that others may find it out. This is his second year on the ' Varsity, and we hope that he may add a few more stars to his D, so that David- son can receive more of his valuable services. He is 5 feet 7 inches, and weighs 1 30 pounds. D. A. McQueen Center McQueen, our hefty center, was on the job at all times. His passing the ball was strait and sure, and on the offence he far out- classed any opponent at center. In the two years that he has played this position he has made but one bad pass, and that not a costly one. A man at center has very little chance to do anything spectacular, but Bully fre- quently brought the crowd to their feet by charging through, tackling behind the line and breaking up punts. Bully intimidates his opponents with a pepery line of slang, and with the same line cheers on his team mates. Bully weighs 165 pounds, stands 5 feet 1 1 inches, and has never been put out of a game. We predict that his red head will be seen in every skirmage next year. J. A. Boyd Right End Here is the case of a senior whom class football developed into ' Varsity material. This year when there was a vacancy at end, made by the departure of Captain Kluttz, Molly saw his chance, and undertook to fill the job. And right well did he fill it. Molly is very light, but very fast, and absolutely fearless. His ability to make shoe- string tackles made up for his lack of weight, and allowed him to cut down many end runs. Never hurt and always in condition ; never shirking and always on the alert, Molly is one of these dependable men who are of far more value to a team than the flashy kind. Quiet, good-natured and popular, Molly will be missed from the campus and the foot- ball field, and Davidson will have to hunt some to find a man to fill his shoes when old ' 12 graduates. He weighs 140 pounds, and is 5 feet 9 inches in height. Q. D. WlLLIFORD ...Half-bacl( The fastest man in the Carolinas — so says the Birmingham Age-Herald, but though he may have seemed so to Alabama, we, not given to boasting, will leave it to his records. Quay has the speed and the head- work, and is an excellent punter, but on account of his weight, was kept out of his letter. He is a hard, consistent worker, has shown his stickability by playing scrub ball for three years, and nobody has yet accused him of laying down on the job. Quay is an adept at intercepting the forward pass, and generally manages to get away with them when he gets them, as he has demonstrated twice during the past season. Quay is the kind of substitute who makes a good team feel safe about getting injured, and the coaches will stand not for indifferent play- ing when such a man as Quay is on the side lines. We sincerely wish that he could be with us next year and strengthen our back- field. He weighs I 40 pounds, and is 5 feet I inches. E. Alexander. Tackle Big Alex is the largest man on the team, weighing 195 pounds, and is about 6 feet I inch in height. He did his best playing in his Junior year on the Little Electric Team, however he was a tower of strength on this years team. Alex is as strong as a Texas ox, and the man he plays against is aware of the fact that he has a hard prop- osition to deal with, and if he doesn ' t watch his cork he will come out of the little end of the horn. And in the mean time, will make a tackle before the man with the ball reaches the line of scrimmage. We are sorry to see such a good man finish college, because there is another puzzle to solve in getting one to fill his place. Alex has won the hearts of the boys as a clean, straight player, and off the field he has won their respect. Dr. E. W. Holladay Coach Coach Holladay came to us from the University of Virginia, where he had made an enviable reputation as an athlete. Dr. Holladay played football at Virginia four years and performed the extraordinary feat of playing every position on the team. He made the track team four years and was captain his last year. He was also Vice- President of the Athletic Association in his Senior year. In his first year as a coach, Dr. Holladay gave Davidson one of her best delensive teams and made o compact fight- ing machine out of ordinary material. It is true that he had a hard place to fill as suc- cessor to Coach Simmons, but he has proved himself worthy of the trust placed in him. E. H. Graham Quarterback Graham, our captain-elect, captain of the baseball team, quarterback and all-round athelete, is the lightest man that ever won a football letter at Davidson. Last year Tiny was the find of the season, and this year we depended on him as signal caller, but misfortune overtook us in our first real game, and Davidson was without Tiny ' s ser- vices the rest of the season. Tiny is a hard fighting, hard losing, fast football player, a sure handler of passes and a terror in run- ning back punts. With the team under him as quarterback, and with the spirit he will give them as their captain, every one feels that whatever material we have next year will be the hardest fighting material that Davidson has ever turned out, and this little 1 20 pound Graham will be the cause of it all. H. B. Yates Half-back Although this being his first year in col- lege, he showed up fine in the last part of the season. Henry has a bright future be- fore him in the football world. We predict that Davidson will depend upon him to do the punting for her next year. He is fast in advancing the ball and is exceptionally good on defence. We are looking to him to hold up the record of his city, (Greensboro), who has given to us one of the best ends we have ever had. We are always glad to have a new man to show up, so well because we know before he leaves he will be a gem in the crown of athletics at our college. Henry has a fine build for the back-field, standing about 5 feet 10 inches, and weighing 160 pounds. The eyes of the rooters will be watching the Gate City man in the future. T. E. Sally Right Guard Sal, our giant tackle, came into prominence this year on the Varsity; it being the first season that he has tried to make the team. This good material has been lying idle for two years, but at last he came to be of unestimatable value to us this year. He is strong and aggressive, and never quits fighting until the whistle blows. Tearing through the line and breaking up punts is one of his strong points. It was he who rushed through the U. of S. C. line (who were punting from behind their goal line) and broke up a punt which was recovered by Davidson and added five precious points to our score. So far as his statue ?s concerned it is ideal for a tackle, he being 6 feet in height with 1 85 pounds to back up this height. We are banking upon Sal for next year in our football career. H. R. BOSWELL Manager There is but one word to use when speak- ing of a manager, and that is to say that he is a good one, and this can easily be said of our last manager. Hal certainly came up to the standard set by his predecessors always on the job. He could tell you any- thing connected with the job from where to find a head-gear to the exact time that No. 37 is due in Atlanta from Birmingham. So far as the financial side of the football sea- son was concerned, the boys always rested easy because they knew that it was in good hands. We are looking for more men like Hal to be at the head of the football seasons. Scrub .football eam J. L. R. Boyd Captain P. W. Dubose Manager S. M. Wolfe Centre S. B. Hart, Left Guard C. L.

Pott Morrissey Parks SCORES Clemson Scrubs 5 Davidson Scrubs 21 Porter Military Academy Davidson Scrubs Scrubs A football team is the thing that embodies the average fighting spirit of American collegians. On most campus ' , to make the ' Varsity is the highest achievement known. Wherever this is the case, year in and year out, in the autumn days there is a certain class of men who work hard and patiently for this honor. Sometimes the ambition is hopeless, but they are inevitably in their places, roughing it day in and day out with the first team. These men are the SCRUBS. They are generally mean and sor ry in appearance, lowly in spirit, but always fierce in action. They have but one ambition: To hold the Varsity. Life is a football game, where each play follows the other with startling rapidity and the game never ends until Referee 1 ime blows his whistle to substitute a new player from those waiting to get in the game. Some men, by their strength and talent, attain to the honors and authorities of life, having achieved the goals of success they wear their letter triumphantly. This class of men are the Varsity players. Most men, by their weakness and mediocricy, pursue their level ways into obscurity. The average man toils patiently, never grudging the glories of life to the leaders and generals. Sometimes some Plebian will blaze a way to a seat with the immortals, but the mass of men must humble shuffle out this mortal coil without honor and without praise. These are the Scrub players. But, oh, you Scrubs; you game, gritty, rough-necked, runty bunch of scrappers! You goats of this world ' s gridiron, your backs are sore, your cleats hurt, your pads are crooked, your efforts seem unavailing against the terrible Varsity, but you are in the game. All through the grueling scrimmages, even in rain and slush, the unrelenting coaches drive with the terse command, Get guts! and your American answer is, Give ' em . Whether you are a green Freshman with ambitious years ahead, whether you are a hard- ened Senior with football days about to end, if you are a Scrub it ' s fight, fight, fight until the referee blows the whistle for the last down. Sometimes their efforts are ridiculous, sometimes they get cussed for their zeal. They are always sorry and imposed upon, but the second teams are inevitable. For every Varsity there must be the Scrubs. There are fools to bemean their crude fight, but there are always poets to immortalize their fighting spirit. So, all hail the unconquerable, invincible, never-dying spirit of the SCRUBS, the devoted, earnest zeal of the Second String. Review of tb £ Season 9l When Davidson ' s stalwart sons begin to arrive in early September, the questions were everywhere asked, Who is the coach? What new material have we? What is our chance to beat North Carolina? With only Booe, Graham, Pharr, Richardson and McQueen left, with the scarcity of material always found here, and with a new coach, pessimists were not hard to find. However, things began to look more cheerful when forty men came out, and we had a regular stampede of alumni coaches to help Dr. Holladay. Varsity was given an opportunity to show their goods on September 30th, when they won an easy victory over Catawba, by the score of 35 to 0. On October 7th the team played V. M. I. in Roanoke and were defeated by the soldiers for the first time in six years, by the score of 5 to 0. We are not prone to make excuses, but the loss of the game was hard luck, pure and unadulterated. The game was lost on a fumble, after the injury to our game little quarter-back, Tiny Graham. This was the hardest blow of the season, especially as it came so early, and deprived us of the best judge of a play in the Carohnas. One week later the pessimists began to take notice, when we beat Lenoir, 70 to 0. True, they were not in our class, but it takes some fast playing to run up 70 points on any kind of team. This game gave us encouragement, and the student-body journed, 300 strong, to Charlotte for the annual D. C.-N. C. game. Again we were defeated, after a hair-raising contest, about which the Charlotte Observer says: For the Red and Black, much the same praise can be given. Outweighed greatly by their opponents, they put up as excellent and plucky fight as anyone would wish to see, and although defeat is their portion, it is not defeat without the accompanying honor. And so the story is that we died game, as all the Davidson teams do; but oh, my, it ' s the score that lives after us. After this bit of discouragement, the team returned to Charlotte on November 4th to play a team they were sure they could lick — Charleston College. It is true that Edger- ton ' s boys put up the gamest scrap ever seen in Charlotte, but the superior ability of Holladay ' s proteges gave us the victory by the score of 34 to 3. Now came the climax of the whole season, for we received reports from Wake Forest that they were loaded to the muzzle, and that bonfires will be built all over the Baptist campus. But Wake Forest (if you will excuse us) has been in the habit of doing their own advertising for many years, and although not from Missouri, we just had to find out a little about this; so we sent our team to Greensboro on the I 1 th of November. And our team did find out, having peeped behind the Wake Forest goal line about six times, but the referee decided otherwise, and we only beat them by the score of 9 to — and still there was some rejoicing among the Baptists, for this was somewhat a victory for them. Coming from Greensboro full of pep (?) and being in search of more scalps (?). they journeyed to the home of Coley Blease, and the sky-scraper — in other words. ( olumbia. I lie scribe has a remembrance of the game, but the newspapers tell us that Davidson had to fight, and fight hard, to win. (Fight is our middle name.) We beat I hem, 10 to 0. And now there came on our campus a hunch of railroad agents, and Manager Boswell was seen every day talking to a new one, for the team was scheduled to be in far-away Birmingham on 1 hanksgiving day. The game began and lasted in Davidson College ' s favor for three-quarters, but the Goddess of 111 Fortune still followed, and Booe, our mainstay and captain, was injured. To make worse, night came suddenly, with the ball in Alabama ' s possession, and they scored two more touchdowns. The game ended 1 6 to 6 in their favor. It would be a rank injustice to every one of our victorious opponents to continually harol hard luck, but it does seem that destiny was against us. But we have the pleasure of saying that every team that we played against was glad when the final whistle blew. Here ' s to all of them (that have licked us). We will see you again next year.

They worked hard in practice, harder in their games, and won the coveted cup. It is not to be doubted that they put out the best team this year, and, too, they have some good men who should star in Varsity uniforms. A very large amount of credit is due to Slip Booe, their coach. He worked faithfully, and gave them plays that went. SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM W. RAMPLEY Captain George Howard Manager J.

Practically the same team won the championship last year. Their success and near success can for a large part be attributed to Coach Tim Pharr, who has been faithful to this team for the past three years. Barry, Clark, Moore, Rampley and Cobb deserve tpecial mention for their all-around good work during the season.

With the call for candidates, we find among the group such men as Captain Graham, Pharr, Whitner, Bos- well, and McCants, all of whom are seasoned players, and should play great ball for us this year. Then, too, our last year ' s scrub team was made up of some good men who should shine this year in Varsity uniform. It is needless to say that, with Captain Graham at its head, that our team this year will be up to the standard — and maybe better. For we know that Tiny will put in to them a good bunch of his pep and fight and, with the student body behind them they ' ll never be beaten, nor will they ever claim a victory until the last man in the last frame has fanned the dust. In catchers we have such men as Little Dunn, Morris, Tex Harrison and Buddy Strong, who we believe will well hold down Siler, Bell, Wolfe, Ostein and Anderson. Around the initial sack will hover such men as Tim Pharr and John Duffie, while the second sack will be well taken care of by Spentz McCantz and Red Whitener. At short and third base we will see Hal Boswell, Bill Shaw and Jack Barry. In the outfield Tiny Graham, George Howell, Locke White and Skinny Clark and Lump Richardson will star. This year we do not expect a team of stars, but a team that will work, a team that will do things, a team that will spit on their hands and go to it, and a team that will bring ho ne to us some glorious victories. So, friend reader, you have it on us; now you know the facts, while we are merely speculating. But we can only judge the future by the past, and in doing this we know that our record on the diamond will be upheld and surpassed. May all this come true. baseball Scbe uU 1912 March — 25 28 30 April — 6 9.... 10 13 16 20 22... 23... 24.. 25... 26... 27.. May — 4.

P. W. DUBOSE Captain F. L. Fuller, Jr Manager racK HE track season of the spring of 1911 began badly and ended well; as a whole it reflected the Davidson spirit. The first meet with the Quaker School at Guil- ford ended 65 to 61, in the Quakers ' favor. The Red Jerseys took up all the sprints, but lagged behind in the distances. The defeat was deserved, and we took it as a stimulus to better action. When the day for field sports arrived, the events were watched zealously for new material, and when the team raced down to Co- lumbia for a meet with the Gamecocks, it was a larger and better trained one. How- ever, it left Cashion behind to hurl the hurtling spheroid, instead of the iron hammer, for he had just taken up this avocation and liked it well. (See Baseball Record, Wash- ington Post, etc.) When the team had taken every event from the University of South Carolina, save those that Cashion ' s absence left, they broke training and took in Columbia. After a pleasant sojourn in the Palmetto State, they returned to Davidson bearing this ban- ner: 87 to 29. Who denies that it was not successful? Victory sits on no man lightly. It is a matter of history now how Cashion flung the hammer and broke Woodrow Wilson ' s record at Washington. It is still remembered that Kerr led the State in vaulting, and many other fine deeds of the cinder-path come to mind, but they vanish in the pros- pects of the coming season. Several of the swiftest have gone, but many of the fastest (Fresh) are here. But as the Annual go°s to press the optimistic sap is rising in tress and man, and we are confident that Endurance, Grit and Speed will always pursue the Red Jerseys to victory.

This coveted position among the racket enthusiastics was determined after some exciting and spirited playing. Crawford and Roddy stood off all comers and attained to the position of defendnng Davidson against all who sought to take her scalp. The first match of this nature was against Erskine College. Our team invaded their territory and snatched a victory from them as a memento of the occasion. We won decisively in the doubles, and divided honors in the singles. While football consumes more interest from the students than any other form of athletics, those who are not quite so brawny and muscular seek the interesting and inno- cent pastime that tennis affords. Weather permitting, the courts are occupied every after- noon, and when our eighteen new courts are completed there will be ample opportunity to develop some intercollegiate champions and thus add further to Davidson ' s athletic prowess. Wearers of tl)e JD The order of the Wearers of the ' D ' is composed of all the undergraduates who have been awarded the D for merit in athletics, and also includes all alumni letter men. It is an order founded entirely on merit, honor and skill, and the insignia bears the same relation to Davidson ' s athletics and the athletic world as does the golden key of Phi Beta Kappa to him who has burned the midnight oil. bearers of tb t 2D OFFICERS J.

Boyd Marvin McCants Golden Hoyt Ifistor? of TEumenean Society WITH the passing of the year 1912 the seventy-fifth year of Davidson ' s existence shall roll backward and make room for a new year to usher in a new quarter century of service. But this year also marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Eumenean Society, for the two institutions have grown up together, and like the ivy and the oak, their histories are intertwined, one supporting and one beautifying the other. The men who were prominent in the foundin g of the college were men who could look beyond the day on which they lived; and it was due to their wisdom and foresight that the society was founded almost simultaneously with the college. They realized then, as we do now, that the training obtained in a literary society is a necessary complement to the liberal education of any college, and their realization speedily crystalized into a tan- gible organization. The founders of the society seem to have been impressed chiefly with the value of debating, and as the name Polemic Debating Society was adopted, which martial-sound- ing title seems to have characterized the early work of the society. But the idea of oppo- sition covneyed by Polemic was soon lost sight of in the ardor and enjoyment of the work which they had undertaken, and feeling that the name was not all that it should be, it was changed to the Eumenean Literary Society, the name being derived from the Greek word meaning good will. The first place of meeting was one of the classrooms of the college, and from the earliest records which are now in existence, meetings seem to have been held once a week. The books which constituted the Society Library were stacked in one corner of the room, and were for the use of the members only. For about a decade things went on in this way, the men debating with great seriousness upon questions which today are considered of no moment. In 1 848 the question of building a home for the society was first agitated, and the characteristic promptness and decision of the members is shown by the fact that in the spring of 1 849 they moved into the spacious hall, which is still occupied. Everythnig which could possibly detract from the seriousness of the meetings or should attract the attention of the house to someone other than the speaker was made subject to a fine. The minutes, in one place at least, record an instance of a man being fined 50 cents for not taking the seat nearest the door upon entering the hall. With such a spirit as this shown in theii work, it would naturally follow that the attendance wa; all that it should be, and the minute books show that it was indeed exem- plary. Search of the records covering a year of society work fail to show a single instance in which a man was absent from a meeting without a valid excuse, and that meant absolute inability to attend. The opening of nearly every meeting is thus recorded: The society was called to order and opened with a prayer, as usual. Roll call by the secretary showed every member present. In addition to this, there were only one or two cases of non-performance of duty by the men who were regularly appointed on. We can hardly doubt that society work such as this accomplished its object, which was, as staled, to fit the men for better carrying on the battles of life. But the course of the Eu ' s progress received a great blow, which was almost fatal, when the great war broke out in 1861. Nearly every man then in college was a South- erner, and realizing the need of their beloved Sunny Southland, all laid aside the pursuits of peace and departed to the awful, yet seemingly inevitable task of taking up arms against their brethren. Yet even through that period — the darkest period, perhaps, in the history of the race — during the awful years which immediately followed the closing years of the war, the society was still preserved, yet to their credit be it said that for a time it existed in name only. Work seems to have been resumed again in earnest in 1 866, and from that time to this it has never ceased, growing year by year into a more perfect, more beautiful and more useful organization. Of course, with the passing of the years, changes in the customs and methods of the society become necessary, and these were made as their need was felt. Prior to 1 886, the books on the shelves of the two society ' s libraries numbered about 7,000 volumes, while the college library contained only about one-third as many. Realiz- ing the greater usefulness to which the books could be put if placed together, the Phil- anthropic and Eumenean Societies in 1 886 consolidated their books with those of the college to form the Union Library, which has since developed into magnificent proportions, a library of which Davidson is justly proud. In the summer of 1891 the constitution of the society was revised, and the most radical change in connection with it was the abolishment of all secrecy in connection with the society, which up to that time had been of the strictest nature. This change was far- reaching in its effects, and we cannot but feel that it was a wise move and one beneficient to the society. Since that time, with some minor changes, the society has remained virtually the same, and perhaps a brief history of the organization as it now stands may not be out of place. From the constitution we read that: The object of this society shall be the acquirement of literary knowledge, the promotion of virtue, and the cultivation of social harmony and friendship. And reading farther: The exercises of this society shall be debating, original and select speaking. The officers of the society are a president and a reviewer from the senior class, a vice-president and a treasurer from the junior class, and a secretary from the sophomore class. The society offers three medals each year: a debater ' s, a declaimer ' s and essayist medal. Besides these, there are three others offred by the two societies jointly, and may be won by any member of either. These are the orator ' s, fiction, and intercollegiate debating medals. During the twenty-one recent years for which statistics are available, the orator s medal has been won by an Eumenean man in every case except five, and this is a better test of the society ' s work than any other contest. Through three-quarters of a century has this old society, beloved of so many now departed, and destined by so many yet to come, reared her head in undisturbed seren.ty amid the storms of misfortune and criticism through which it has been her lot to pass. May she continue to stand, ever changing yet ever unchanged, through generations yet to come, promoting friendships which shall sweeten the lives of hundreds who shall sojourn beneath her sheltering wing. And to her shall we always wish peace, prosperity and success in every undertaking. Hfistor? of tb £ bilantbropic Society D AVIDSON COLLEGE was founded exactly three-quarters of a century ago, and her history has been the history of the societies; they were twins in birth, play- mates in the days when education was not the vocation of the strenuous man alone as it is today, and they now work hand in hand as brethren in the great work which has fallen upon them to perform. The organization of the society was permanenlty effected on June 22, 1837, when a constitution was formally adopted and officers elected. These were: A. Neely, North Carolina, president; L. B. Gaston, New York, vice-pres- ident ; J. E. McPherson, North Carolina, secretary, and G. M. Sample, treasurer. While there is no complete roll existing, we find from the minutes of the second meeting that six were noted absent and fourteen present, making a charter membership of twenty. This was increased to thirty-eight before the close of the year. The present hall was not built at that time, and the minutes give no indication as to where the meetings were held, though by the end of 1 838 the chapel is regularly given as the meeting place. The first mention of Phi Hall in the dating of the minutes is June 25, 1842, and this probably marks its completion and dedication to the literary work of the college. It was built partly by private subscriptions among the students and partly by the faculty, and is a magnificent testimonial of the zeal and interest in society work. The preservation of dignity and order at its meetings were amply provided for from the beginning. Justice in the form of fines were swiftly meted out to an offender, and acts deemed offensive were numerous. Strict behavior was the only remedy if a member desired to keep a full pocketbook. But in this case, as in all things, the cost of living has increased. For example, on June 11,1 842, W. L. Davidson was fined twelve and one-half cents for non-performance of duty. The present fine is two dollars. Little tempta- tion is offered to skip duty negligently. But the sole object of the society was not to drain the pockets of its members. Very early it recognized the psychological fact that a visible reward will at all times stimulate activity, and accordingly offered gold medals to those excelling in debate, declamation and essay writing. In 1886 an attempt was made to discontinue the practice on the plea that it was failing in its purpose, but the effort was unsuccessful and medals are still awarded annually. Another stimulus to literary work was furnished in the foundation of a college magazine — in conjunction, of course, with the Eu society — called the Davidson College Monthly. Its first issue was February, 1 886, and it has been eminently successful in discovering and developing literary talent among the students, which but for it might probably have remained hidden under a bushel for all time to come. Among its editors and contributors during the last thirty-five years have been men who today are known over the whole South for their brilliancy as speakers and writers. Another impetus to the intellectual life of the college was the consolidation of the private library of the society with that of the Eumanean Society and the general library of the college. Before there had been three distinct libraries, but after 1887, when the arrangement was effected the Union Library has been run on a satisfactory and scientific basis. Among prominent alumni of the society may be mentioned President H. L. Smith, of Davidson; President W. W. Moore, of Union Seminary; Dr. James B. Whary, Professor of English at Vanderbilt University; Dr. W. L. Lingle, Professor of Hebrew Union Senimary; Dr. Alfonso Smith, Professor of English, University of Virginia, and late Roosevelt Professor, Berlin. OFFICERS OF Y. M. C. A. D. M. McDonald President E.

Our freshness was soon exposed by a timely shower of rain, which grew into a downpoui just as we arrived, washing from us the little dust of past experience, and leaving us all green as the grass of our campus. In October we met in the Y. M. C. A. hall and elected the following officers: L. Kluttz, President; W. D. Kerr, Vice-President, and W. M. Cosby, Secretary and Treasurer. On the first, and for some nights following, the work of testing the vocal capacity of the Fresh class was carried on with the greatest energy. From every window could be heard the low, sweet sounds of their voices issuing forth on the still evening atmosphere, sometimes low and sorrowful, and then rising, as it were, to the heights of heaven, and losing itself in the distance. Judging from the great demand of songs, the class of 1915 must be a very musical body of young men. For no sooner was one piece finished than our audience would suggest that we sing some other, and if we declined through modesty, they would even urge us. We generally think of love and music as being inseparable, and this class does not prove to be an exception to this rule, for a more amorous company of young gentle- men could not be found anywhere. In th; evening, when all was quiet and when thoughts of love naturally enter into the hearts and minds of those who have so lately parted from their pet dogs and cats, one could see the lovelorn Freshman sitting in his room surrounded by a band of Sophs, and saying sweet nothings to a pillow from the bottom of his heart. In athletics the class has shown itself by no means backward. One of our men made his letter on the varsity football team, another played as substitute, and several others represented us on the scrubs. In class football they showed themselves fully equal to the other class teams. The first game with the Seniors was lost, not because the Fresh team was not a good one, but because the Seniors had played three years and had more experience. In the next game with the Juniors the Fresh had had some practice, and the game was a tie. Then came the game of most interest — the Fresh-Soph game. This ended also in a tie, with the score to 0. In scholastic lines the class is not generally famed for brightness, but the fact that seven of our men made the honor roll goes to show that it is not specially dull. More- over, it is now and bids fair to continue one of the best classes Davidson has ever had. Vt tt)e iresb Bbink of Eacb Otber Most Popular Kluttz, Harrison. Best Athelete Harrison, Yates.

The Business Manager of the Annual is without any support whatever save that which you give him, so when he comes around in the fall, let ' s everybody sign up, and rest assured that he will give you his work and the best Annual you e ' er saw. A Sympathizer of all Business Managers Took b se .Ad s. Over HEN go out and boost these good people, talk for em and trade with ' em, and then go and tell the fellow who won ' t give us an ad why he doesn ' t get our trade. That ' s a mighty little thing to do, but it will go a long way in helping your manager get out the best Annual ever published at Davidson, for these adver- tisers make possible all our publications, and it ' s a mighty little thing for us to do to try in every way to help them. So look these ads. over, get on your job and join our boost- er ' s club.

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 represents the cream of Southern 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 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 discus- sion is 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. . . The fullness and detail of the reports sent to parents. No institution known to the writer keeps such students ' records and no one even approx- imates the fullness of the reports 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, 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 is represented by a struggling, inefficient, unattractive mission-church. Under these circum- stances it is no wonder that growing and vigorous intellectualism, comparing such an exponent of religion with the ability and learning 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 maintains 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, written for the information of prospective students and their parents. Either or both will be sent on request.
