This hiji. jovial, easy-going Virginian came to D.avidson in January, 1910, as ,-1 Freshman, and by the follow- ing September he was a full-fledged Junior. Wonderful, you say? Not at all — it ' s just Aniiv. Determined, per- severing, and patient, he usually sees to the end whatever he undertakes. He never gets angry, and always has a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. If you would see him give his broadest grin, just say Gastonia, and w-atch him. Though A. i)V is not an original ' 13 man, we all like him, and are prfiud to n.anie him as one of our number. Roi!i:iiT Soriii . kko vood Hemp, X. C. Al!., Phi.

Is he not called upon to represent before the eyes of an ignorant stu lent body that worthy educational institution, the F.lisc High School? Is he not a gre;it tennis player, and the owner of Hemp ' s liand- somcst sweater? So all told, .• rrv has an important part to play on the campus, and he is playing it well. Hut he can descend from his dignity enough to play good footliall, and has caused many a lower classman a pang of fear for their laurels during the class series. He does not neglect his books, either ; and if Hemp docs not watch out she will have to entertain a sweet boy-graduate in May, whose head will be larger than the town itself IIarrv ' ilson Bachman Bristol, Tenn.

Full of slniin c oatlis. and bearded like Ihe pard Bachman may best be described as being sulfuric in temperament. Wheth er thus naturally, or by long association in the Chemical Lab., is purely a matter for conjecture. However, to say that this detracts from his general make-up would be base calumny — it is merely the effervescing overflow of his super- abnnd. ' int energy and vitality. Self- possessed, capable, tnagnetic — he is wonderfnlly attractive, and thoroughly likeable. Fkank Fisher Baker Sali.sbury, N. C. A.B, Phi.

How- ever, Frank is good-looking, and we have to make allowances. He is a fixed and regular feature of the choir np in that famous institution known as the Alley. When Frank goes to preach- ing, the other yoinig preachers from the Alley won ' t have a chance among the ladies nnlil he has made his selection. The Greek class will lose one of its best I)erformers when Frank has made his di p.irlure. J. Leslii. r.11,1. Concord, X. C. B.S., Phi.

With a touch of genius, he seems evanescent — almost ethereal. Sympathetic, self-forgetful, there is nntliing cynical nor malignant abf)ut him. nothing rough nor unpolislied. Versed in tlie best literature, he writes well, and converses fluently wlien one has succeeded in penetrating his natural reserve. From the first he disdained the turbulent life of college dormitories, and sought the more sequestered ways of a village home as lieing more con- ducive to his scholarly meditation and scientific research — for he is nothing if not an astro-physicist. For three years in the Pliysics Department his star has shone with unrivaled splendor, while the terror of his astronomical dissec- tions is campus-wide. JdllX CUKKI.IIAX WOVT) Charlotte, X. C.

His besetting sin is inertia. Sleep with him has become an obsession. It is his proudest boast tliat he has never stayed awake during an entire class. Despite this, he has always roused himself suffi- ciently to make the Honor Roll. If he could disengage himself long enough from Morpheus, there is no telling what intellectual heights he might attain. kl( ilARI) Al ' STIN BUL1,0CK Bullock, N. C.

Ricii. rd claims that Pnillock will in the near future be the metropolis of Nortli Caro- lina ( tlie exact dale we think is June, iyi3), which signifies that Rich. ki) has a most fertile imagination. He doesn ' t talk much, however; and this in turn being interpreted means that he possesses a good store of connnon-sense. H ' s chief charaderislic is his aversion for all femininity— l)e it maid, matron, or aged dame. If he ever rakes up courage enough to pop the (|Ucstion to the future Mrs. Richard A., we warrant that tlial lady ' s surprise will be so great that slic ' ll accei)t him on the spot.

Music lialli charms to soothe the sai ' age breast Mocking-bird? Yes! You may not have guessed it, but nevertheless it ' s true. We have him — the real, genuine mocking-bird, celebrated in song and •itory. Four years ago he left off sing- ing l)y the grave of poor, dear, lamented Hallie, to come and give us the benefit of his golden voice, and ever since has been in the front ranks of the Glee Club, the orchestra, the chapel and church choirs. From the tips of his turned-up toes, past his turned-up smile and his turned-up nose, to the ends of his turned-up hair, he is chocked full of music, good humor, energy, and diligence. If you would have him your friend, just tell him of some Sunday School in the country without a teacher — this is his hobby, and he rides it faith- fully. Mock is a good one. .ind 19 13 could not do without him. Lloyd Cook Cxmi ' iucll Paw Creek, . C. Age, 30 Sofrano. Basso, even the Cniitra-alto. IJ ' ishes him fi7 ' e fathoms under the Realto Cook is a steady, reliable fellow, who can laugh as heartily and sing as loudly as any mother ' s son of us. For one long year he reigned supreme in the Chapel Choir, no one daring to pluck one .gem from his lustrous crown of choir- master. Every morning, with a religious fervor that would put a Christian martyr to blush, he raises his voice in song. We cannot but admire his zeal, however much we may condemn the instrument that displays it. Some men live to eat, still others eat to live. Not so with Cook — he lives to sing, and where there ' s life, there ' s song. McAltster Carson Charlotte, N. C.

As president of tlie student body, he has made an enviable record, and has guided us tlirough many perplexing places safely and honorably. Talk to him, and you will think him a D.D. ; but in reality this subdued appearance is the result of tliree years ' care of a nursery. As might be expected, Cac has the usual weakness for the fair sex, and is one of our most dependable fusscrs. Being from Char- lotte, Blowing Rock was quite satis- factory, and now His is in Nashville — so he says. We are expecting great things from C. C, and wish him God- speed in his career.

But it is not only to his digestion that Dickie ' s future success will be due. for be possesses in large quantity that quality mudi lectured on and lauded by o ir late Henry Louis, the essence of stickability, which is the foimdation of all success. He is one of the hardest workers on the campus; his only recreation being tri- weekly visits to Cornelius. They say — but why speculate?

Generous coui ' ersc: a soul exemft from frhle Of all iyi3 ' s men, Zed Crawford p robably deserves more credit than any. owing to the circumstances attending his college life. In his Fresh year he roomed with Jim Bridges, and kept his sense of the aesthetic : as a Sophomore he roomed with Squire Bales and Cupid, but unlike Squire he escaped the darts of their little room-mate and kept liis heart; last year and this he has roomed with Madame Murphy, and has kept his sanity. Quiet, reserved, and dignified, it takes some time to get acquainted witli liim. liut when yoti do know him you find that he is pure gold If) the core. From Davidson he goes where Afric ' s sunny fountains roll down their golden sands. for the pur- pose of delivering their land from error ' s chain and probably to furnish the ( (• • • resistiuice for some can- nibal king ' s Christmas dinner. We hope, however, that before leaving he will make seve ral records for the Victor, for we would hate to have his beautiful voice perish. Success to you. Caruso !

He talks at random on any subject yet known, shakes his head in a convincing m;ui- ner, makes pathetic appeals ag;iinst the relentless and insane acts of the students, but has never yet been able to convince, anyone that he is other than sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. His friends are as numerous as the student body, and he has the slickest line of dope yet, which never fails to win him a vote .at the proper time.

Words, ' i ' ords, 7i ' ords Kver since John entered Davidson, it it has been a problem whether he is going to evolute into a billiard ball, a Math, professor, or a professional base- ball player. At present, his talents seem to lie in the direction of a drummer in a minstrel show, though his success in making hits with ladies away from Davidson would indicate a future society leader. He has an almost unlimited supply of miraculous tales, suitable for every occasion, and he never fails to work these off — good naturedly, we hope — at every opportunity. John is inclined to be a pessimist, but could he see his promising qualities as do his classmates, indeed a rosy future his would be. JoHx Hovv. RD Elder Concord Depot, Va. B.S., Eu.

And I ivotdd that my tongue could utter Tlic thoughts that arise in me You would never think that this quiet, unobtrusive fellow was one of the biggest sports on the campus — but such is the case. No gathering of fcminines in Davidson would be complete without ■ ' J. ck and his ever-ready gallantry. But, in spite of this, he takes time to improve his mental abilities, and has succeeded in becoming quite a stud in chemistry. We prophesy for him a quiet future of studious bachelorhood.

Of course he has long since discarded his walker and other juvenile accessories, but there still lingers about him the childish precocity of his j ' ounger days. He has dabbled a little in baseball, a little in football, and still less in his books. Boasting no erudition, he is a faithful worker, and never fails to carry off comfortable grades.

The old adage, Courtesy winneth many friends, could not be more applicable than in his case, for of all things he is preeminently a gentleman. But Carl ' s good qualities do not end with his being a well-bred and likcal)lc fellow, for he is the mainstay of the nuisic department of the college, and a student of no mean ability. On the whole, he is one of ' 13 ' s best. W ii.i.i AM S ■|) l■;v Goldf-x Talladcffa. Ala. A.B., liu., GryplioM ; Age, 24 Student Council : Frcs. Soph Class ; Dcclaimer ' s Rep ; Jr. Orator; . .nnu.m.

The result is that at the close of his Senior year he is a credit to himself, to his class, and to his Alma Mater. Eknm:st He. p Gr. ii. m Greenville, S. C.

It ' s such a z ' cry serious thing To be a funny man Gay, hilarious, boisterous, mirthful, fun-loving is Sidney; a joyous combina- tion of the dryest wit, the most delight- ful nonsense, and the most wildly erratic made-to-order laugh on the market. Beside him, Falstaff and Touchslone pale into insignificance, and Barnuin and Bailey ' s choicest comedians look like a pocket dictionary beside a thirty-volume encyclopedia. His accom- plishments do not end here, however, for besides being able to bring a smile to the sourest visage, he can also draw tears as big as hen-eggs from the eyes of the Junior Speaking audiences— in other words, Sidney is a musician of no mean merit. His soul-melting mel- odies on tliat and similar occasions are calculated to make a hyena take on a countenance like that of the last rose of summer, and to inspire the Flossies to rhapsodic-dly exclaim, Who is the per- fectly adorably darling boy who plays the violin?

Just as we had come to the conclusion that he was about to end his college career after accomplishing nothing more strenuous than a campus course, he convinced us in a most sur- prising way that he is some orator. He is a firm believer in the flowery-bed theory of life, but if you want to see him sit up and take notice just say politics to him.

There is no great genius ivithout a tineture of madness When the potter shaped this lump of clay in mortal form, a strange mixture did he make. It takes a long time to know Clarke, but one must know him to admire him. Once you have attained this exclusive circle, you find him some- thing of an embryo philosopher, won- dering about the unsolved problem of the predestined preponderance of Life over Death, or some such subject. Quite a pessimist is he also, for he is an abso- lute atheist when it comes to the other insoluble problem — Woman. But aside from these, Cl.

W e look for its refutat:on in IE [ST( )RV In the Fall of 1900 there came to Davidson a bind of a huiulred and twenty freshmen, who tixed on their watch folis and i)ennants the mystic and significant symbol of Thirteen. From time immemorial it had been customary for Davidson Freslinien to spend the first few Saturdav nights under the starry hea ens, or under the bed. But we had come just at the dawning hour of a new era. Change was in the air. the endowment was needing the breath of a better moral atmosphere, and the class of 1912 was in a magnanimous mood. So w-e were allowed the unpre- cedented privilege of using our own rooms even on Saturday nights. Hazing took its place in the realm of the things that have been and are not. All went merrily, except when once some Freshmen obeyed the wrong Sophomore and bought some class pennants and watch-fobs from him. The Soph, president called us together, and told us that the Sophs, were about to elevate the regions described in Dante ' s Inferno, and the jiennants came down. This brings the matter over into the Sophomore stage, where we see loom- ing up the Sopliomore Banquet. Here the Thirteen horseshoe was working m I V ' ri ' qUIRS CRANKS again. Xo, ' said the Faculty (that is, or rather tliat was. Dr. 11. L. S. ) : there wili he no more Sophomore ilanquets. Thirteen hegged for a chance to prove that the thing couhl be done right. The Faculty decided to make the experiment. Everything vori cd well, tlie plan succeeded, and an institution was saved. During the same term we were tied with the Fresh, for the honor of last place in class football. As neither of us had a chance to win the championshi]), we proposed that tlie tie remain unbroken, we offering to share with our friends, the Fresh, the honor of being last. However, they refused our offer, and Captain Mockingbird made his famous speech on Remember the Fresh. We tendered them the sole occupancy of last place by the score of 17 to o. And then again, our class baseball team had been shot to pieces, defeated by the Fresh., and began the season witli only three men from the year iiefore. lium Thompson was e ' ected Captain, and had the nerve to think he could pitch, although no one else was so optimistic, liut when he walked in and struck out six Seniors in succession, nobody had the nerve to think that lie could not pitch. As was to be expected, we walked away with the championship. This Ijrings the matter down to Field Day, when the Thirteen horse- shoes were everywhere. Our reiiresentatives were greedy enough to score as many points as all the other classes put together. In the Junior year, the Class captured the baseball championship again, and at the time of this writing it is hoped that we may be able to get permanent posses- sion of tlie cu]). Junior Speaking was distinguished by Zip Watkins ' speech on lunior Speaking, which did some good. Senior Speaking offered the unusual attraction of a speech on Sidney Lanier by vSidnev Lanier. The Senior Year has not vet come to its close, and indeed it would be impossible to compress it within the narrow compass of this History. The things tliat we are doing now reach far on into the future, and as we shall soon take our leave of one another we take courage in the happy lot that has been ours. Thirteen. the number of luck.

Junior Class History) GEORGE WASHINGTON could not have been a historian, because he loved the truth too much. Josephus shouldn ' t have been, for he was too much inclined the other way. Of the two, however, the latter had the better turn for the business, for a historian can ' t be partial to truth. Wal- pole once exclaimed, Anything but history, for history must be false. ( )ur birth-dates range pretty generally in the young ' i;o ' s. with perhaps a liking for ' 92. but for all practical purposes we were all, the entire one liun- dred of us, born in September, igio. We were green (we won ' t deny that, for you wouldn ' t believe us if we didj, and, as we hinted above, history abhorreth fiction. How could Freshmen be Freshmen, though, if they weren ' t green and fresh? And what would tlie Soph, do without the moping Fresh ' s sickly grin, and the fresh Fresh ' s imjiertinent gibe, and the green Fresh ' s verdant query? Historians generally seek out causes for conditions, so take from me now this explanation of our unaccou ntableness in our first days in college. Perhaps it holds equally for all Fresh. We were coming to the Alma Mater of our fathers and our uncles and our lirothers — the college where they all studied and tlunked and passed. We had heard the glories of Davidson sung beside our rocking cradle; we had heard the halls of Chambers hallowed with tales; we had read verses to the elms of the campus. Da idson had been the goal held up before us to keep us in prep, school. We were wrought u]) to a high pitch — all the senti- mentality of our beings tuned themselves up for the entry into our iiarenls ' studying ground. The shock of the actual thing was enough to jar a screw or so loose in us. The campus elms were as worm-berridden as the poorest elms at home; the town appeared very ordinary; there was no halo around the cu])ola ; and Chambers building looming up there in the background, if she recognized us for fathers ' sons, kept the knowledge to herself; coldly, calmly. W ' thuut eniiiticjii, without demonstration of any kind, unfeelingly .•ind unscnlinicnlally, she rcccixed our homesick class. Even this. howe er, affected us differently, according to disposition, some- what; for we had our greenest and our least green. We recall one whose first Bm ucmngygsj CRANKS n I K ' Mii iii delicate shades of fjreeiiness were never sullied liy cmUact with other men, in fact lie was Evergreen. ( )nr class still nidurns the money that escajied into the ca]iacions maw of the world of swindlers hy way of this f,mllil)le meniher. ( )n the lirst ni lit of our arrival he bought a season ticket to the h ' irst I ' resbyterian Church ; next day he joined the student body — a heavy fee consec|uent ; next night he purchased a permit to the campus, which he thought was some reserved dance hall or poolroom, and searched for it some time in Morrison Memorial llall. Men- tion of him recalls another of our lamented classmates. This gentleman came to us from New York. Davidson he found too slow; much more to his liking was a place where one might flock with the African brethren and still retain his social prestige. He fought a good fight, however, before leaving. We said we were Freshmen once — we were Sophomores once, also. ' ou must be Ijoth before vou can be a Junior, and the end always justifies the ])ath. What need the cow to always say, I was once a calf? Don ' t understand us to lie anything but proud of that Soph, year, though. In the fall, we put up a man that led the college in marks by a good margin ; the next .spring, that same product of 1914 led a victorious football team all over Sprunt .Athletic Field. Then fol- lowed the l ' .an(|uet, which we be ieve about tlie best ever inilled oft ' by a Soph, class. We could see jjotato and chicken and turkey under their big names, and, in fact, these long titles were splendid sauce. Dr. Sentelle, Professor Douglas, and Professor Currie were all there — nuff sed, eh? But the football cup was there, too. When a mother gets her little bow-legged son successfully through his second summer, she gives a great sigh of relief, and says, Xow he is a man. ' ' If you can keep the Fresh. ali e while all the stars in their courses are warring against him, and the Soph ' s head from exploding — why, then you have the college man started well on his way. Dr. Smith was our great foster-mother, tiding us over those two years of upheaval and unrest. He nursed us succe ssfully over, and then believing he had done the greatest thing he could do for Davidson he bade the college farewell. Hear him in chai)el just before leaving; It has been till now a great ball u])on an inclined plane. We, the faculty and I, have been behind, jjushing it up, ever u]). Xow it is on the le el with the eye ; blue sky above, blue sea beneath, and fair wintl behind. The goal is on the level with the eye. J PR5 CRAMK5 _Ji: ' i TfT 2] Perhaps you recall the fifteenth day of October, 1910. All Davidson men do, easily : and we have a hunch that Carolina hasn ' t goi it in her head to forget it, either. We raised this town that niijht. and Ijurned up all the torches within the radius of a nii ' e with Chanihcrs building as a center. W ell, the whole point of the reference is to remind you that a 1914 man made that touchdown, and Lump has lieen the darling of our gridiron ever since. In his class ( thotigh decidedly not as to height I is another of our men of whom we like to boast — the tallest man on the cani])us bv head and shoulders, and the highest jumper by several inches. Too, we had a Soph, on the first team that met at W ' inthrop with Carolina in a combat of words, and that same man was a good half of the team, as Junior this time, that so proudly walked away with another of South Carolina ' s this spring liefore a good many hundreds of South Carolina .girls. Reatler, think not that liecause this history ends here, our class has halted, too, ]listor - could not be history if it conjectured of that which wil ' be. To the threshold of the future can it go, and no further ; it dare not enter, however Ijril- liant the prospect be, . cloud is swinging towards us now that even history must take note of. . nd we will nut be over-reaching limits much, indeed we will be but ])roceeding on that timeworn principle that history repeats itself, if we make bold to sav that when vou read this, that cloml will l)e gone, and rei s will have been made and reps wi I h;ive 1)een lost, ( ily the way. forget old alpole ' s cry.) v± id qUIR5 CRANK5 Mvj Junior Sjpeak ' m Girl Oil bended knee I sniu ht her lore — Wddly. fondly, madly! .hid szt.

This article, since it deals with I)o er, a true Davidsonian, ])r()ves no e ce])ti()n to that u.nixersal rule. The time of Dover ' s dehut into Da id onian delij,dUs was ti e o ' clock on a warm afternoon of early Se])teniljer. ii)i[. The place — a b ' ock or so heliind Skit ' s, and that is definite enough. .Vnd here pardon a digression, which indeed is unaxoidable — an ajiostrophe to the dinky.

' J ' he moral atmosjjhere was at its best. So much had it increased during the summer months of non-use that it had spread from the campus, enveloped the village, and even succeeded in getting past Skit ' s to the station. To Dover, a new man. or to be ])erfectly frank, a I ' rcsli. the change from an easy, languid locomotion of five miles or so an hour to the Inistling business, the hearty hand- shakes, the warm welcome characteristic of D. C, marked an epoch in his life — an uplift from the valley of erdancy to the first foothills of intellectual expe- rience, while ahead of him loomed the loftiest heights of learning. He felt the atmosphere from the first, that is safe to say; everywhere it seemed to be taking effect. The campus was astir, and the Colonel ' s trash barrel was being constantly raided for excelsior, for j: et ex])ressions of outer world usag€ were Ijeing tenderly ' aid away. If there is any test of true loyalty it must be the cherishing of the catalog, the upholding of the burning truths contained therein. And page 37 — did it not say that endless (juiet strolls might be taken all among the sedate student body with ne er an oath to break the catalogial calm of peaceful predestinationalism ? When various officials had been seen, and supper was over, then the fel- lows began to call. There the beauty of the BidleUn was obser ed in its best 1 1 1 1 ivH I iipg CRANKS [i rh n ' w outworkings. .Music was a feature of the e eiiin«: informal introductions to certain of the professors added the- ' r ([uota to give Dover a feeling of warm personal relation with his fellow-l)a ' idsonians. This was only a sample of many an immediate night to come — warm moonlit evenings when the soft lights twinkled from the great windows of Chambers, when the plaintive note of the mocking-bird was heard along the alley, when ever and anon soft showers fell with Ajjrilic unexpectedness. Awake or aslee]), Do er always felt acutely the bustle, toil, and turmoil of college life about him. Difhcult as might be the first ascents of Grecian heights, however painful the contact with angles and functions, none of these academic curriculumical crosses jjroved half so hard as a rousing from deep azure-lidded slumber on a downy dormitory bed (dreams of the girl — a co-ed., maybe ) to the startling and jjainful realization of ha -ing been dumped. First an aerial fl ' ght, a breathless suspension in mid-air, then a i)recipit(.)us descent, and then — a landing. Well, it ' s over; but no — curses on the laws of Xewton ! — just then the bed arrives, topping the mound of the fallen mighty antl giving rise to 0])])osite and equal actions and reactions, not to speak of bruises on every S(|uare inch of his anatomy. l)o er had an indi idualit ' . lie had been a Senior the year befm-e at a prep, school : he had a class pin. and a host of Fresh, fancies as to the ])ossil)ilities of power and pleasure in college life. He soon, however, learned the existence of other individualities, the sorrow of Senior dignity transplanted, the careful concealment of class pin. and the fi.ght that one has toward the fulfillment of fancies. Tlie gracelessness of gibing and the folly of freshness were early im|)ressed U])on his mental and physical consciousness. So Dover lived through the fall term; so he went home foi- the iKilidays. and returned feeling himself a full-Hedged college man; and scj he fell into new and unlooked-for experience when Xaturc one night covered the green ai ' res of campus with a downy, white nianlle--in shoi ' t, when it snowed. SnoivbiiUiuii — the very term haimls liini still. Just as the l ' resh-Soph. ba.seball game in the fall had ii])cned 1 )o er ' s eyes to certain possiliilities, atblet ' .c qUIRS CRANKS e ' ei -tritc track ])r,K ' lice. and i -dvti tlic tjauutlcl of tlie early Ainericaii Indian a starllin ; and painfnl realism.

' s se ' enty-fifth amii ersarv celeljration, and then many pains seemed concentrated into a short si)ace of time. It all led to one hrij ht goal, however. That attained, Dover spent his summer in anticipation and his following fall in realization of the powers and privileges of an ardent Sof homurc. The history of Dover is a composite one, that of an indix iduality which represents the personal experiences and idiosyncrasies of many of the class of H)i5 — and such classes it is which. stri ing ever not fur self, make i ' lttin;:; and true the iic plus ultra of Davidson College. r i s pT qUIR5 CRANK5 2 Tlic Tiircc Disgraces — and e SojpUomore .s ' iiii ardent Sapliomorc.

' fall of 1912. one liunilrcd and thirty-eight Freshmen sjathered at Old l)a ' iclson, coming- to reinfcjrce that large army in its struggle to ohtaiii knowledge. L ' ])on our arrival, we paid a visit to Dr. . J. Martin, who after classifying us sent us to Dr. J. L. Douglas, the Bursar, who greatly lowered our financial standing, and ' eft us to hegin our contest with the |)rofessors. ( )ur first few nights were enlivened by Sophomoric visits. To our intense amazement. Sojjhomores seemed not what they once were — aggressixe. jiug- iiacious individuals, and their isils did not assume the antagonistic form, hul were mere fricndlv ad ances — elVcjrts to welcome our men intu their midst. One time, though, they seemed ratiier inclined to have some fun. It was a heautiful. sunshiny day. just after dinner, wc gathered on the campus to have our picture taken for the . nnu;d. Suddenly rain hegan to fall. ;md it was by no means an . ])ril shower. It came in bucketfuls and bagfuls. In a short time the entire Freshman Class was wet, and seeking refuge in the dormitories. The seventh of October we gatherid in the W .M . C. . ., and eledeil our officers: i. S. Witheringlon, President; h . 1,. . ' ash, Nice-Tresiik ' nt ; and R. W. UIR5 2c CRANKS Craves. Secrutarv and Treasurer. At a later meeting, we selected as our Class colors, I ' nrple and White. Our Class has done cxcei)tionally well in every branch of athletics. The Monday after our arrival we defeated the S()))honiores in the annual basehall game, for the second lime in seventeen years. We al.so defeated tliem in basket- ball, and were second to the Juniors in the championship series. One of our luuubcr made his D in footljal ' . and one his D. C. Several others made the Scrubs. e also tied the Juniors in the Class footliall series, and are looking forward with nuich enthusiasm to the coming game which will decide the con- test. tXote: The game played — poor Freshie sadly mired — 2 to 7.1 Although our share in college athletics has been great, we have by no means been neglectful of our studies, and our attempts to steer clear of the Supervision Committee have been in great measure successful. One of our number performed the Herculean feat of making the honor roF. while others are striving, futively perhaps, to follow in his wake. The Freshman Class is this year larger than it has been for several vears. and since the growth of the college must be through the Freshman Class, this is most encouraging to those who look forward to the time when its numbers will compare favorably with its thoroughness of instruction. qUIR5 g: CRAgg?

And it came to pass that in my disgust I didst dr aw the covers over my head, and so great was the banishment of sound thereof that I didst again sleep. And behold a vision appeared unto me. and spake, saying, I am he who men call Somnus, and inasmuch as thou hast denied thyself the pleasures of chapel for my sake, I will reveal unto thee the stores of the future ; yea the stores of the future will I reveal unto thee. My guide was more subtle than any beast of the field, and divining my thoughts he didst lead me to the pleasant valley of Davidson, where the tree of knowledge doth flourish, and where the young men are goodly and righteous altogether. I didst at once recall the place of my abode, but wast struck by the changes that hadst been wrottght. There arose before me an exceeding fair building, one that was new and of goodly proportions, whose marble was brought from the quarry of Cornelius, and whose beams and rafters were of the cedars of Mount Mourne. And I spake unto my guide, saying, Tell me, I pray you, the meaning of this goodly house? And he answered, saying. You see the gymnasium, whose fame is scat- tered abroad throughout the land. ' We didst enter, and beheld its magnificence to be unsurpassed; and as we were going through its labyrinths, behold a pool, even a pool of glistening tile, stretched before me. I would fain have descended into its cool waters, but lo : there came a voice, saying, Neither thou, nor thy children, nor thy children ' s children, aye even unto the fourth generation shall it not be. As we didst turn from the great building, a car, even a trolley car, didst slop before us and youths, vain seekers after pleasures, didst get thereon to go to see The Merry Widow a nd other wordly things whereof it is not fitting that I speak. Woe unto thee, Charlotte ; it hadst been better for thee that thou hadst never been builded than thai thou siuiuldest [lervcrl our youths.

Mv hands I didst clap to my ears lest perchance the evil sound reach me, and as I looked about me three balls, the sign of money changers and gamblers, didst smite my eyes. Then did I hasten to gird up my loins and to flee as from a pestilence, and in mv tlight 1 didst fall, and when 1 didst smite the earth, lo I a voice that was of tlie earth earthv spake unto me, saying, . rise, room-mate mine.

In manv cases, fighting in tiie nuid and slush of rainy weather, they fail to hold the X ' arsity, and are lauglied at for their ])ains.

Temperature, thirty l)elow — though some had the idea that if Horseshoe Richardson had been there the temiierature would have been higher. W ben a Davidson team gets defeated, they work all the harder, and Coach Cook and Captain Ciraham put forth supreme effort-- to instill some football knowdedge into their men. The next game — with Alouiit I ' leasant — showed the results, for we ran up a score well abo e the century mark. Elated by this fine showing, the bovs entertained the idea of defeating A. (Jt .M., on the twenty-sixth of October — a thing ne -er before dreamed of. The scene shifts. We are on W ' earn I ' ield. The F arniers are stalwart an 1 brawiiv; Davidson small and scrappy.

Xot one lime ilurino; the game were the h ' armers in twenty yards of our goal, sa e on the intercepted jiass. A hadly hruised but joyful team, a smiling Coach, and a jubilant student body boarded Captain Rowland ' s train for Davidson. Xext came the trip to Le.xington. For Napoleon ' s feelings on his return from Moscow, ask Coach. The chill, wind-swept hills of irginia having well-nigh frozen our youth- ful warriors, it was decided to try Florida ' s balmy clime, . cting Manager Rampley ' s personally-conducted tour to the land of Ponce De Leon ' s paradise was one replete with many adventures. Far be it from us to depart from the prosaic facts of our theme, and as only a vivid imagination could justly describe this trip, we would advise the hibernators to seek a personal interxiew with those who attended. Suffice it to say, Davidson being many leagues from the coast, and Lake Wiley being decreed dry. we were not accustomed to Water Polo, and that seemed to be what the field was intended for. Some of the outstanding events that might be fitly mentioned here are: Morrow ' s terrible devastation of oysters; Todd ' s noble attempt to rechristen the dining- car porter ; Rampley ' s prodigal scattering of currency; and Peter ' s thrilling dash in Gas- tonia. Immediately on their return, the team having recovered, preparations were begun for the Wake Forest game; an account of which will be found on an ensuing page. We might remark in ])assing that .All s well that ends well. We feel it to be oicing the sentiments of ' the student body to e. ])ress our ai)])reciation of Coach Cook in whip])ing into shape a green s(|ua(l that was able to defeat such a team as Wake Forest had on Thank.sgi ing Day. To e. ])ress it tritely, he is on the job; and we are ' • looking to hmi ne.xt Fall. With our S(|uad in his liands, and under the able leadershi]) of Capt. Luni]) Richardson, we are sure of a successful season. L_ qUIR5 CRANKS Davidson — Wake ForcsV aH HE morning of the twenty-ninth of Xovember dawned cold and cloudy, with a M k thin layer of snow over everything. This was not very cheering, as doubts began L W to be expressed as to whether we could meet Wake Forest. But these were soon dispelled by the appearance of the sun and the disappearance of the snow. Then came the awful anxiety and speculation as to the possible outcome of it all. Immediately after breakfast, the team, accompanied by a small crowd of loyal ones, boarded the first train for Charlotte, while the rest of the student body look the special at noon. It was a grim, silent, and determined team that look dinner at tlie Central, and then started on the nerve-racking march to tlie Y. M. C. A., and began the seemingly interminable wait until time should come to dress and get out to the field. It was plainly up to us. The previous record was not very encouraging, and most of the dope was against us. But it was Wake Forest, the whole student body w ' as down there, and these things often upset the official dope. Finally, the student body began to roll in. and started inspecting Charlotte, Presby- terian College; and it is said that some of the hardier went as far as Elizabeth, while some amused themselves in other ways more or less innocent in preparation for the afternoon ' s excitement. When the usual ante-game stunts were over, various means of transportation were pressed into service, and soon the fellows were assembled in the bleachers, while every- where was evidence of spirits set forth in one of our popular football songs — Win or lose, it ' s all the same, We were there to back our team. But we didn ' t mean to lose, unless, as someone expressed it in his excitement, a very popular resort somewhere south of Suez should freeze over. The team arrived in a few minutes, and trotted over to their side of the field. Then Coach called out that day ' s line-up, and gave a little talk. Then the student body cheered, and the Varsity trotted out on the field and began to run signals, while Wake Forest was being photographed. Somehow the pep began to get into both team and stu- dents, and was never lacking any more, even after Wake Forest marched for sixty yards and the first touchdown, and kicked goal. If anything, this just increased it a little. After the Captains and Coaches had arranged the preliminaries, the whistle blew, and both teams took their positions, while their backers cheered lustily. Then followed the game At three-thirty the teams came upon the field, cheered by their supporters. Captain Graham won the toss, and chose to defend the south goal. With the yelling hushed and a thousand spectators chilled by the snow and the nervous expectancy. Referee Sampson blew his whistle. Riddick kicked to Davidson ' s twenty-yard line. The Red and Black began with a rush. Vicious line bucking by Todd and Yates, and off tackle runs by Captain Graham. carried the ball to Wake Forest ' s forty-yard line. Here the Baptist forwards held, and tin- ball went over. Amid heartrending cries from the bleachers. Utley and Riddick, with m fr IQUIR5 CRMIK5 ' 1;} 1 ahcrnating plunges ami quick openings, swept llie Presbyterians oflF their feet, and marched sixty yards for a touchdown, Billings going over left tackle for the score. Riddick punted the hall squarely between the posts for an additional point. Wake Forest kicked oflf. Graham returned t ' iftcen yards. End runs by Graham and a successful forward pass carried the ball to Wake Forest ' s thirty-five yard line. The Baptists braced, and again took the ball on downs. This time Davidson had come into their own, and forced them to kick. Witherington brought the ball back to the center of the field. With the student body pleading for a score, the Red and Black began their victorious march. Time after time the line opened up holes for the hard hitting Todd and the elusive Graham, until the ball was carried to the Wake Forest fifteen-yard line Here the whistle blew. Score : Wake Forest, seven ; Davidson, nothing. Second Quarter The teams shifted goals, and it was Davidson ' s ball on the fifteen yard line at the South Goal. With renewed energy, and spurred on by the nearness of the goal, the Red and Black began the attack w ' ith powerful plunges by Todd and Yates. Short, steady gains were made by Coach Cook ' s snapp - criss-cross, until at one minute of play Todd carried the ball over with a low, powerful plunge in the corner of the field. On the kick out, ' ' ates punted w-ild, and there was no goal. Despite the loss of this one point, the Prebsyterian supporters went wild. Davidson kicked off, and their speedy ends downed Billings in his tracks. Wake made an attempt around left end, and were thrown for a four-yard loss. On the next play, Phipps broke through and downed Utley before he started. Forced to kick, Riddick got off a l)eautiful punt. Graham returned five yards. Davidson immediately punted, and Utley returned the ball to the middle of the field. On the first play, Wake Forest fumbled, but recovered. Utley went over left tackle for fifteen yards. Billings made a beautiful pass to Carter, and the Wake Forest contingent did a war dance. In trying to repeat the pass, Captain Graham intercepted the ball, and made a forty-yard run, which will long be remem- bered in Davidson College athletic annals. Off like a flash of lightning, he gained speed until the secondary defense of Wake Forest had no chance whatever in tackling him — a fitting climax to his dashing football career. The ball was brought out, and Richardson kicked a beautiful goal at a difficult angle. The Baptists kicked off towards the North Goal. Then occurred a rare incident in football. The pigskin sailed ten yards straight into the hands of Peters, who recovered from the shock, and carried the ball beyond the center of the field on a fifteen-yard run. Davidson was penalized for holding, and Yates kicked twenty-five yards. Billings fumbled, and Davidson recovered. Xow began another terrific, smashing game, and a third march for the Baptists ' goal. The whistle ended this memorable quarter. Score : Davidson, 13 ; Wake Forest. 7. Third Qi rtkr During the intermission, the Davidson student body, two hundred strong, began a combination funeral dirge and lockstep around the gridiron, until the referee blew the whistle. Davidson defended the South Goal. McQueen kicked off, and Riddick brought the ball back ten yards. Short end runs by Utley and Billings brought the ball to Davidson ' s tbirtv-five vard line, where Richardson recovered a fumble. Graham tried an end run, and , qUIR5 CRANKS n punted. Billings fumbled, and Cosliy recovered. After several exclianges of punts, in wliicli Yates had the better of Riddick, Booe was sent into the game. Here was the Wake Forest Jonah, and the Baptist bleacherites set up a groan. A forward pass, Booe to Graham, netted fifteen yards, and the ball was on Wake Forest ' s twenty-five yard line. Booe essayed a drop, but the ball went wild, and was given to Wake Forest on their twenty-yard line. Wake Forest, driven to desperation, began a brilliant advance, and the ba ' l was carried to the middle of the field. Here the Red and Black line held like a wall, and the liall went over. Booe made a brilliant, elusive run for eighteen yards, and the liall was on Wake Fores ' . ' s thirty-yard line when the whistle l)lew. Score: Davidson College, 1,3: W.ike Forest, 7. Fourth Qiwrter At the beginning of tlie last period, the Wake Forest warriors seemed to have taken a brace. Booe attempted another pass, wliile Billings came near repeating Graliam ' s stunt, only to be cut down by a beautiful flying tackle by Booe. Riddick and Utley began another dasli until the hall was carried to Davidson ' s thirty-yard line. Here Wake Forest attempted a triple pass, which was ruined by Graham ' s splendid hcadwork. Davidson took the ball when the pass went out of bounds, and Yates punted out of danger. Wake Forest could not gain consistently, and the ball went over on downs. A fast end run by Booe, with a gain by Graham, carried the ball well into Wake Forest ' s territory. It seemed that the Presbyterians would score again, but time was fast slipping by, and after a sliort buck by Todd the linal whistle blew. Score: thirteen to seven in favor of Davidson. There was not a dull nionienl in the game, and every spectator left Wearn l- ' icld satisfied that they had seen a death struggle between two evenly-matched teams. Well, it was over ; and everyljody happy except Wake Forest — rather a cross between a Bull Moose rally and an English Suffragette demonstration. .After cheering for everybody and everything, a yelling, jubilant, hilarious procession was formed, headed by four solemn pallbearers, with a coffin in which was tenderly laid Wake Forest ' s hope of defeating Davidson in football. This parade headed up South Tryon Street, and dis- banded at Presbyterian College, while the young men betook themselves, some back to Davidson and others elsewhere. So here ' s to you, Wake Forest ! You played a good game, and beating you was work. May we meet you at Thanksgiving for many years to come. And here ' s hoping also th;it the right end of the score stays at Davidson.

The tourna- W B ment this year was very interesting and hotly contested. White and Crawford ■ ' finally winning out in doubles. In the single tournament, which immediately tiillowed, some very spirited playing was indulged in. until Crawford, who has held the cliampionship for the two years previous, succeeded in winning again. In November, an intercollegiate meet was held with Erskine on the home courts which proved disastrous for Davidson, Erskine winning by a decisive score, capturing both the doubles and singles. In the Spring, games with two South Carolina colleges are con- templated, and also with two or three colleges in Xorth Carolina. Pim, who was runner-up in the tournament, has taken the place of White. This combination of the long and the short should be able to overcome former weaknesses. There has been a marked increase in interest in regard to tennis in the several past seasons, and with our improved equipment we hope to win some honors for old Davidson in this line of sport. i M qUIR5 CRANKS :£ mi |VIIM@TEK ' 0 VarsUyj Gyjmnas ' ium Team OFFICERS J.

Af.er I had paid my fare— and indeed I paid liberaky. for that bank wliere I ' d been waiting was so grimy, and dark, and chilly, and oozy — the proud captain led me to the reception-rooms. Those are two authorities on the constitution of the United States. my kind guide told me. Looking into the room I saw two shades in high wrangle. One was Benjamin Kranklin ; the other a classmate of mine. Socrates .Williams. Ben, old boy, I overheard Soc say: you played thunder with that constitution you made, you and those other guys. It ' s the most tarnacious mess of junk I ever saw. Soc, said Benjamin: I did my best. I confess we might have beat it if you had been there to give us a little constitutional bull, but bygones are bygones, my lad, and you and I did the best we could by our nation Passing on. we came to a very classical-looking room, wherein sal two Greek stu- dents. One I recognized as Homer; the other as Robert Guthrie. Koi OS. I heard Homer venttre forth on a sentence of conversation. Wait, wait, said Guthrie : what does that first word mean ? I thought you knew Greek, said Homer, much displeased at an interri-p.ion so early in his speech. Indeed, I do, replied Guthrie: but one can fail to know one word occasionally, can ' t he? Well, said Homer; that first word means ' and ' ; now to contime, Kal os — Wait, wait. cried Guthrie; I hate to interrupt again, but what does that second word mean ? qUIRS 8: CRANKS Xow. now, now — it;lK-tl Umiier, this is riiliculous: 05 means — But here we were interrupied hy a conple of ladies who came slipping down the hall like a whirlwind, in a word comhat. Miss Kerr and Cknpatra, whispered Holtzclaw ; quarreling over the attentions of poor old Bill Taft. Indeed, I ' m more fascinating, Cleopatra was saying But what a lovely smile I have! said Miss Kerr. Passing on, we ran across another acquaintance of mine, and really tlie wit here exhibited, contrasted to that which had occurred to the shame of my college mate, was uplifting. Cicero sat in a mission-furniture settle, holding the hand of Madame Murphy. My dear, said he: how did you like my last oration at Wilson ' s inauguration? Wliy it was perfectly absurd and preposterous, said he. Vou don ' t know the rudiments of Latin. Why, in the first sentence you missed two cases; in the fifteenth sentence you left out one letter on your verb ; and in the last sentence of the conclusion you had a plural verb following a singular noun. And Cicero hung his head. I gloried in my schoolmate, the product of my Alma Mater. Holtzclaw and I then gave fifteen Rahs for Davidson, at which Dr. Johnson was much bored, but Roosevelt was much pleased, and grinned profusely, as did also Josephus and Philip of Macedon. Someone whose face was invitingly familiar passed by yelling out the advertisement of a hammer throw for the afternoon between Cashion and Hercules. The herald came nearer, and I recognized Donkey, and in his hand was a cuspidor into which he requested that all bacilli be deposited. Alfred the Great rolled a quid of Kind Pa chews to his left jaw, and spat long and loud, begging pardon of Sister Bowman, whose modesty was much shocked. I noticed Xantippe rise and leave the room in disgust, whispering very loudly to her seatmate. Madame de Stael, that such things were not done in public when she was a girl. Socrates looked tnuch frightened. Oh — tonight — he groaned ; my dear friend. Miss Carrie Nation, do appease her. We sat down then to a meal of ambrosia a la Ganymede, and Georgia yams, a( devouring which Mr Joe Watkins and Fletcher ran a close race. 1 could hear Enoch I ' aw and Harriman conversing near me. Enoch. said the railroad magnate; there is nothing quite so indicative of Inisiness genius as railroad managing. Huh, rep ' ied Enoch, you never ran a Soph. Banquet, 1 presume? At the hammer throw that afternoon, the boat party were out in fullest costume. Mr. Joe Watkins escorted Luccretia Borgia. Shakespeare danced attendance to Miss Veal. Mr. Cooper, with hat in hand — that his flowing locks might be seen by all — sat with Mary Queen of Scots. Several persons near him held up fans before their eyes, evidently to avoid the sheen of his liair. Bamn Munchausen seemed, Imwever, to enjoy very nuicli he glare. m qUIRS ! CRANKS The- graiulstaiul was so arranged around tlic playgronnd as to form an anipliillicali-r. At tlic north and south sides each was a prominent seat, designated, I learn, for the two most killing sports. In one sat Cute Williamson, who doddered ever back into his slate- room to change his suit ; in the other sat Beau Brummel. Ever and anon they cast vicious glares of jealousy across the peopled stand. The hammer meet was a disappointment. Hercules had splendid arms, and not a poor chest, but Cashion pitifully outstripped him. and the cries of the Egyptians led liy the Pharaohs, of the Persians, of the Romans, and of the Americans were always for the Washington star. There was. however, spirited bet- ting between Wall Street and Croesus. Holtzclaw led me off to my coucli, anil promised that I should sec a better day tomorrow.

In his executive capacity, he eommanded otn ' admiration and respect. . s a man and friend, he won our esteem and honor. Without a tin.tje of olher-worldliness. he was of us and for us, and it is our sincerest sjood wish that his work with us may he hut the small ]ian of that which he is yet to do. We have lost Dr. Smith, hut we have gained Dr. Martin; and the enrollment of the largest Freshman Class in the liistory of the college already furnishes ample testimony as to the jjrospects of the new regime. In Dr. .M.arlin, we have a high-toned Christian gentleman, a tireless worker, and a believer in Davidson and its pos- siliilities. Little did the Class of ' jj dream that that pale and callow youth who roomed in o. — Chambers would ever sit in a gubernatorial or presidenti.al chair. ' oodrow was by no means a precocious youth — but that lack of precocity was no bar to his success, and he has risen to present power through sheer determination and sjjlendid courage. Da idson is proud of her small share in making him. Though hi.s sojourn lasted but a year, he so successfull imbibe l our moral atmosphere, so thoroughly masticated our ideals and traditions, as to weave into the very warp and woof of his character those traits that go to luake a man, a tliinker. and a rrcsident.

In M emoriam J HUNDRED and more years ago. a ploughshare tore from its place in the field a mountain daisy. .Myriads r « since then have perished, unnoticed in the Winter ' s chill, but this one is remembered because it perished still in its flower and beauty. The kings and statesmen of that age will doubtless become mere names, shadowy figures in the background of histor)-. but the memory of the little daisy may linger till the human heart has ceased to mourn for the death of youth and beautv. It li es because it fell by cruel circumstances before its time. A sparkling wit, a brilliant mind, a generous heart, a delight to his friends, and an honor to his Alma Mater — this was Paul Schenk. Frail of body, he suffered, yet smiled and made others happier. He put to shame many of us who bore a lighter burden with a heavier heart. He blessed us with the heroic cheer- fulness that the daisy had; Cold biczc the hitter, biting Xorth Upon thy early humble birth: Yet cheerfully thou glinted forth Amtd the storm.

The love that we l ear to him may not be torn by the conflicts of life, nor killed by the slow advance of vears.

Anil if the Glee Clul) is typical of the college its reputation is deserved. This item, quoted from the Toronto Globe, reiterates what a prominent minister of the Presbyterian Church said about tlie same organization — that it was the best advertisement that Davidson College had. For although the concerts have been given within a radius of a few hundred miles, the name of Davidson has been sent forth by these Sons of Orpheus till it reaches from the bleak iceliekls of the North to the fragrant gardens of the South, and from the restless waves of the Atlantic to the placid waters of the Pacific. The most extensive tour of the season was taken in llu- l ' ' all. and included concerts at Winthrop College, Oreenville l ' emale College, Easley, S. C, Toccoa, Ga., and Brenau College. Kach date was fdled on schedvde time, though accidents and mishaps were not lacking. One member, going on ahead of the party, found himself, just one hour before the curtain was to rise at Winthrop. without a dress suit. Words are lacking to descrilie the stale of his mind; for he felt that he must make a hit, and without the i)roper togs it would be impossible. However, with the helj) of a number of friends, a coat was fuuiul which was only a few sizes too small; dark purple trousers were pressed into service — and they looked almost black at night — and a tie being maiuif.ictured from a while four in liaiid. the ui.ike up was complete. Such, then, are the discords of Davidson ' s Close Harmony. Hut llieif is uui a single member of the Club who would give up his position, envied by all on the campus. EHH n rPr IW TTMM OFFICERS Wm.

When you pull the trigger you want it to go with lightning speed. Flying birds and targets will not wait for a hangfire load or a slow lock. Our lock was carefully and scientifically timed at the University of Cornell. Test was made by means of the flywheel traveling 577.1715 inches per second. By means of a special device it was found that the flywheel traveled .935 inches while hammer was falling. Dividing .935 by 577. 17 I 5 gives the time it took hammer to fall .0016. or expressed in fractional form I -625 of a second. When hammer struck it was traveling 223 inches per second. We figure that this greased lightning speed will increase your score at least five per cent. The slower thp lock and the slower the load the farther you have to lead your birds.

A few dollars laid aside, in conven- ient periodical payments, accrue for your benefit in later life or for your family if you are lost to them. Moreover, in the event of your TOTAL and PERMANENT DISABILITY you not only benefit by the amount actually saved, but by the amount you intended to save during a given period of years.

THE EQUIPMENT of Davidson consists of eleven campus buildings (not including residences); gymnasium; a dozen or more tennis courts; two athletic fields; labora- tories for Chemstry. Physics, and Biology, with ample apparatus; waterworks; electric lights; eleven bathrooms; and a library of twenty thousand 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 represents the cream of Southern Presbyter an 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 incorrig bly idle students, without regard to their own or their parents ' wealth or social position. 3. The close and personal supervision exercised over each individual student by the President and Faculty. The professors at Davidson regard the work of class-room and laboratory as only one part of their duty and responsibility. The Faculty meets every week, and its chief topic of discussion is the character, habits, and progress of each 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 anyth ng 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 keeps such students ' records, and no one even approximates the fullness of the reports now sent by Davidf«n to the parents of its students, covering not only a young man s class standing, but his associates, hab ts, 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 denominat on is represented by a struggling, inefficient, unattractive mission-church. Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that growing and vigorous intellectualism, comparing such an exponent of religion with the ability and learning of its class-rooms and laboratories, should adopt a campus attitude, first of indifference to a religion, and finally of ill-concealed contempt. The Davidson students see church life at its best, participated in by the intellectual leaders of the College community. The church building is modern, the congregation main- tains its own home and foreign missionaries, and is noted for its harmony, intelligence, and I berality. In addition to the formal catalog, the College publishes a Special Bulletin, written for the information of prospective students and their parents. Either or both will be sent on request. Address the President. •—•—• • ..• • ••■••. THIS VOLUME OF QUIPS AND CRANKS WAB ISSUED FROM THE PRESS OF THE OBSERVER PRINTING HOUSE (incorporated) CHARLOTTE. N. C. 1913
