It will add to their satisfaction if the members of the class of 1902 will find in it an ever-present, happy memory of their undergraduate days at Denison. Still further satisfac- tion will be felt if. through the influence of this book, many prospective students may be led to select Denison as the place of their education. A college annual without grinds would be regarded by the students as a failure. The editors have no enemies and desire to make none. So they have endeavored to remove the sting from the jokes presented to them and give a hearty laugh to all while injuring none. Do not be angry at the joke upon yourself. The poet Burns said : O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us. There is probably a little ground for the extravagance of these jokes, and a thoughtful, calm consideration of them may give you valuable information about yourself. Better results would have been obtained if the editors had been able to know at the very first what they should seek to accomplish in the publication of a college annual. For the aid of those who may follow us in the publication of the Adytum, we would suggest these considerations as important : Make the annual representative of that which is truest and best in our Denison. Make it a volume which we shall love to peruse after our college days are over. Make it a volume which shall attract new students to our Alma Mater. Encourage and develop the literary and artistic talent among us. If such purposes as these had been set before us clearly at the beginning of our work, the results would be nearer what we desire. 10 Our President It is especially fitting that the Adytum for 1902 should contain some word of the man in whom the interest of the University is centered, Our President. Emory William Hunt was born P ebruary 2, 18G2, in East Clarence, Erie County, New York. His father had been called to the pastorate of the Baptist church in that place in 1855, remaining there until his death in 1898. Here at the district school and later at the High School in the village three miles from his home, the boy received his early education. At the age of fifteen he left home to prepare for college, entering the BuiTalo State Normal School, from which he graduated in 1880. His college course was pursued at the University of Rochester, where, during the four years in which he remained there, he received many prizes in Mathematics and Latin, and gained an enviable repu- tation as a speaker and in literary work. The Alpha Delta Phi Fra- ternity claims Dr. Hunt as one of its most distinguished members, and he is also a member of the graduate fraternity. Phi Beta Kappa.. In preparation for his life work, Dr. Hunt, in 1884, entered Crozer Theological Seminary, completing his course in 1887. He went di- rectly from here to the pastorate of the Ashland Avenue Baptist church, of Toledo, remaining there thirteen years, during which time the church grew from a membership of 70 to 550, and became one of the strongest and most influential churches in the State of Ohio. Dr. Hunt was the first President of the B. Y. P. U. of Ohio, and was for six years Chairman of the International Board of Managers, and a member of its Executive Committee. For a number of years, up to his leaving Ohio, our President was one of the trustees of Denison University, and. while still pastor of the Ashland Avenue church, devoted a year to increasing the endow- ment of the University, for six months of that time being absent from the church, with the consent of his parishoners. In April, 1900, Dr. Hunt received a unanimous call to become the pastor of the Clarendon Street Baptist Church, of Boston, as the suc- cessor of the late Dr. A. J. Gordon. He accepted the call, and entered on his work September 1. His success here was very marked. In addition to the duties of his pastorate, he was actively engaged in Chris- tian work as President of the Gordon Bible and Missionary Training School. When, in June, 1901, the Trustees of Denison University met and unanimously elected Dr. Hunt President, to succeed Dr. D. B. Purin- 11 ton, resigned, a feeling of deep satisfaction was manifest among all the friends of the University. The wisdom of the choice was felt by all, but there was a doubt in the minds of many as to whether Dr. Hunt would give up his work as a pastor, for which he was so eminently fitted, to become the head of an educational institution. The question was most happily answered, however, when Dr. Hunt ' s letter accepting the Presidency was received. As President Hunt himself said, in his first chapel talk to the students, In accepting the Presidency of Deni- son University, I am not resigning my work a.s a Christian minister. I am only taking it up in another and a broader field. Dr. Hunt was married in 1887 to Miss Josephine M. Kendrick, daughter of Dr. A. C. Kendrick, professor of Greek in the University of Rochester. She lived only three years after their marriage, leaving one daughter, Helen K. Hunt. In 1892 he was joined in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Olney, of Waltham, Mass. They have two daughters, Harriet and Carolyn. Mrs. Hunt is a lady of culture and of charming personality, and combines rare social and intellectual gifts. A woman of engaging presence, a warm and sympathetic friend, she will add much to the life of the University. Dr. Hunt entered upon his work here in January, 1903, the Claren- don Street Church having made a special request that he remain in Boston until the end of the year. President Hunt is a fine type of Christian manhood and his genuineness, his simplicity of manner and his unfailing courtesy and tactfulness have already secured for him a strong hold on the affections of faculty and students. He is keenly alive to the modern improvements in educational methods and one instinctively feels that he will keep Denison abreast of the advance movement. President Hunt has come among us as a leader, not only by virtue of his exceptional executive and intellectual ability, but also by virtue of his magnificent physical strength and his power as a Christian gentleman. Personal magnetism he possesses in a marvel- ous degree, and the wholesomeness of his manhood is feh by all with whom he comes in contact. With his earnestness and deep conviction of duty, his breadth of sympathy and his power of exertmg persona! influence over others, he combines many of the virtues of an ideal college president. C. A. M., ' 03. 12 Alma Matriotism This is a new word made especially for the Adytum in an effort to express a certain valuable thought in a single word. It is a queer-sound- ing word at first, but we all know what it means, and it brings a flood of tender feeling after we have become familiar with its sound. Why do we love old Denison? Each of us would answer the ques- tion in our own way, yet we would find much in common awakening the same feeling. A few years ago we breathed its pure September air for the first time ; we walked under its maple trees, bright with their autumn foliage and the leaves rustled about our feet as we came and went from class to class. Perhaps we sat upon the grass with a fellow student and looking across the valley through the blue autumnal haze, saw the corn fields with their regular rows of shocks, saw the bunches of glorious woods, saw the winding row of sycamores that marks the course of Raccoon creek, and saw the little village half hid in the bright foliage. The first seeds of a sacred love were then dropped into our hearts where they have found rich soil. Those seeds have grown. Social experiences, athletic enthusiasm, and class-room life, have all contributed to the germination of those seeds. In many a case it is now a sturdy plant. It is all the sturdier because of some of the severities through which it has passed. He who has met defeat for old Denison, either in in- tellectual or athletic contest, usually loves her more than one who has not had that experience. The wild enthusiasm and determination are not forgotten in a day and men are prone to love most those for whom they have sufifered most. Yet victory is ours at times and not a little of our love comes with the memorv of our success. Some people who have not had our experience wonder that we should have such a love for our Alma Mater, when there are so many greater universities — schools whose students number thousands to our hundreds, whose faculties, buildings and equipment cost manv times those of ours. Yet our elders tell us that it is a question whether such universities fit their students better for the real struggles of life, and for true living. The science which we study may not make us all specialists, but it teaches us to stand in awe of Him whose hand guides the planets in their stately, steady courses, and at the same time fashions the pale, tender structure of a petal at which we gaze through a microscope. We learn enough of literature to know where to find some of the good writings. We learn to enjoy them. We may not all be critics of metre and tone color, but if we have studied well, we have good taste. 13 We are among those who love art because it ennobles life, who read poetry not to kill time, but to fill it with beautiful thoughts, and who still believe in God and Duty and immortal Love. We love Denison because from her we may learn to make a true success of life, because she gives us more power to be useful, because she puts within our hands the means of an honest livelihood, because of a host of friends whose kindnesses sunm rt the university, because from her we may learn to appreciate the good things of life, and because we remember the many happy days we have spent in her buildings, and upon her campus. This and much more is our Alma Matriotism. 14 Almost three hundred years ago, John Alden, disconsolate wooer of the Puritan maiden, Priscilla, resolved forever to turn his back on the trackless forest which had promised him such fair fortunes. Was it his good angel who turned his face again toward the untried paths, and whispered in his ear, Let not him who has put his hand to the plough look backward ? More than seventy years ago, another band of pio- neers, with hearts as brave and lives as true, put their hands to another plough, whose ploughshares broke the ground on which we stand today. VVith struggles and disappointments almost rivaling those of the early pilgrims, surely their good angels must have guided their feet, that they did not turn backwards. Can we not join in our Heike with gladder hearts, when we remember the men to whom we owe Denison — our Denison? And we are proud to remember that the past year has been one of the best our college has ever known. For one thing, we are learning to say, all together, our Denison, as we never could say it when co- education was a dream, and not a reality. Therefore the history of the past few months has been different from that of by-gone years, when the students from the foot of the hill stood as humble suppliants on the threshold of the halls of learning, where they n ow walk as equals. This year of 1901-2 has seen many changes. There have been losses, of course — vacant places and sad leave-takings, but the clouds have shown more than a glimpse of the silver lining — if there have been losses, so have there been gains, glorious gains, which we are proud to remember. First, of course, there is our president. First? — yes, always; in our thoughts, our work, our hearts. While West Virginia lias taken away the friend whom everyone found in Dr. Purinton, we are glad to know that our new president is one whom we had learned to love even before he belonged to us. Our Dr. Hunt we claim him, not in word alone, but in deed. Last year made other vacancies in Denison, when O. S. U. took away Professor Cole, and when Dr. Tight left us to become president of the University of New Mexico. There could be only pleasure in the thought that their powers had found appreciation in wider fields than they could know here in Granville ; so we bade them God-speed, and in September extended a happy greeting to the new workers who have come in their stead. Still, in welcoming Professor Clark W. 15 Chamberlain, dear to Denison because he is one of her own alumni, it could not be forgotten that it was Professor Cole who made our scientific department what it is, and that with almost nothing to work upon, save his own persevering genius and unselfishness. And Dr. Watson, a Cornell man, who is Professor Tight ' s successor, is all the nearer to our hearts because he was brought to Denison through Dr. Tight himself, to whom we owe so much. Another old Denison boy has this fall been welcomed back as a member of the faculty. Profe ssor Neil represents to us the reincarna- tion of the Oratorical Department. Interest in this class of work, which had sunk to a very low ebb indeed, has beeii wonderfully revived by the help and enthusiasm of such a teacher, who is already winning for himself a name on the platform. At least one evident change has already been made in consequence of the revived interest in this branch of the University ' s work. The Oratorical Association, whose membership ha.s I heretofore included only members of the Franklin and Calliopean Literary Societies, has been enlarged, and now embraces every member of each of the six literary societies of the school. Among these re Philomathean and Euterpean Societies of Shepardson College, and Horn this step has been taken another still more advanced. This year, for the first time, Deni- son sent to the State Oratorical Contest a woman representative, thereby following an example which other colleges have set. But is oratory our only boast? Not so. Is there a young man, a.t least, whose mind does not first and foremost turn to athletics? Denison need no longer wince at the word for under Holste, the much-needed coach who was at last procured, a new era has opened, in which nothing seems impossible. Coming to us from the University of Chicago, where he is now a law student, backed by a record of which anyone might be proud, his one term ' s work here was such as to make us fondly dream what another year may bring to our foot ball team. With a 1901 showing the best for years, is not a coach worth while? Yes, the Athletic Department has a future ; and just at the right moment, a fairy god-father has appeared with a gift which has its part for every student of the University. After years of forced endurance of the old athletic field, one of our loyal friends has supplied the need with a generous gift, which is surely appreciated. Last June, Mr. F. P. Beaver, of Dayton, presented to Denison, for use as an athletic park, the ground immediately opposite the T. O. C. R. R. station, on the Lancaster road. It is expected that within a year this ground will be ready for use, and the general rejoicing over this good fortune made seem as nothing the fee of one dollar for athletics which this year is levied upon every young man student. In return for this, each stu- dent is counted as a member of the Athletic Association. On last Commencement Day there was also made the announce- ment of another gift, much needed, and hailed with especial delight by the music pupils. The long-wished for pipe organ, soon to be placed in Recital Hall, will be only another reminder of our endless obligations to Dr. Wm. Howard Doane, of Cincinnati, the kind friend who has never failed us. In view of this encouragement, it is not strange that 16 And yet one more is added to the list of alumni who have thi vear Z t tl ir Mf-...

Ray Gilpatrick Secretar3 ..... Dora Zimmerman Treasurer, W. F. Powell Historian Blanche Baker Assistant Historian, . . . O. R. O. Farel Chaplain, Eugene B. Huffman Fanny Fern Adams, Lit. B., Philomathean. Welcome whereso ' er she went. — U ' hitlier. Miss Adams enjoys the rare distinction of graduating twice. After completing her course with the class of ' Ul she saw, with regret, that it was to be eclipsed by its successor, and so she wisely cast in her lot with ' 02. Throughout her school life she has been one of the soundest students and best-liked girls of Shepirdson. She is an earnest Y. W. C. A. worker, and she crowned her services to Philo by serving a term as president. Ernest S. Ashbrook, a. B., P. D. O., Calliope. Human bodies are sic fools For a ' their colleges and schools. — Bums. He is not yet married, but it is supposed that he will be. Ashbrook is very handsome, which in no small degree, has had a tendency to brighten his prospects. He was our class secre- tary and treasurer in 1900-1. His popularity with the Profs is largely accounted for by his affable disposition. vSuccess is certain. Bi ANCHE Elizabeth Baker, Ph. B., Philomathean. Her ' s is a spirit deep and crystal-clear, Calmly beneath her earnest face it lies. — Lowell. From the far north — how far we do not say — Miss Baker comes to us. After graduating from the preparatory depart- ment she entered Denison, where she has acquitted herself with honor. So proficient has she been in her studies that last year she was enabled to take a v- ' ication of two terms, a part of which time she spent in teaching the young ideas how to shoot. She is the only Senior in Burton Hall and thus wields an authority to which even the haughty Junior must bow. Lewis Henry Beall, A. B., Franklin. My mind to me a kingdom is. — Dyer. Beall was born in 1877. He is an excellent student. In language he stands well toward the head of the class. He is a Y. M. C. A. worker and has gained some reputation as a ball player. His life work will Vje that of teaching modern languages for which he is preeminently fitted. 23 Blanche Dora BeaTTIE, B. A. Euterpe X t A Lightly was her slender nose Tip— tilted like the petal of a flower. — Tenttyson. Miss Beattie is a native of Ohio and has the Ohian ' s way of coming to the fore in every situation. She is the highest authority in the Senior Class on English history, never failing to name correctly for Professor Williams, the Tudor, or Stuart rulers. She is devoted to the gymnasium and so great is her fondness for it, that she rarely fails to spend every spare moment at the end of the term, especially during examina- tion week, in the enjoyment of its advantages. Fred Browne, Ph. B., B. e. n., Franklin. At each stride a mile he measured. — Longfelloiv. Fred Browne is the one to whom we look up. Browne was born in 1875. Because of his great piety, and kindly interest in the spiritual wellfare of our flock he has by common con- sent been designated as Deacon. As manager of the foot-ball team in 1901 Browne displayed great ability. His plans for the future are not yet developed. Karl Ormond Burrer, B. S., Calliope. He told her he loved her. But umph, uniph, he lied. Karl is his father ' s oldest son. He was our distinguished president in 1900-1. An active Y. M. C. A. worker, an able foot-ball and base-ball player, a frequent caller at the Sem., he is a great favorite among the ladies. His skill as a me- chanic is exemplified in his Compression Steam Heater which is certain to make him famous. On account of his tendency to run away, it was feared for a time that Burrer would not be able to graduate. Edward Chamberlin Colby, B. L., Franklin. Wearing all that weight Of learning lightly like a flower — Tennyson. Colby, whose earthly career began a long time ago, is the favorite of the class. His smiling face and genial disposition have won for him many friends. As corresponding secretary and as treasurer of Franklin Literary Society his work has been splendid. He is a son of the president of the Board of Trustees, and for that reason carries himself with great dignity. 24 Etta May Criixy, B. S., Pliilomathean. Whose presence seemed the sweet income And womanly atmosphere of home. — IVhitiie?-. Miss Crilly was graduated from the Newark High School in ,)8 and in the following fall entered Denison. She is one of the bright and shining lights of the clas«, her mind being a veritable storehouse of scientific information. She loves to use her pen and quite frequently produces a poem. When called upon to make extemporaneous talks in Society, with her accus- tomed meekness she cheerfully responds. Aside from a few love affairs her life has thus far run very smoothly. Oscar Robert Olskn Farei., A. B., Calliope. As unto the bow the cord is. So unto man is woman. — Longfellow. Mr. Farel, otherwise known as Minnie, Far Knell of Iowa, Doctor, etc., etc., is our beloved president. He was born in 1868. As a soldier he is distinguished for his great bravery evinced in breaking the guard lines and terrorizing the guards. As president of Calliope he showed great ability. In 1901 he was the Junior toaster at the Washington Banquet, and was honored as toast master of the banquet given in honor of Presi- dent E. W. Hunt in 1902. Ray GII.PATRICK, Ph. B., Euterpe, X Si- A She has two eyes, so soft and brown ; Take care ! —Longfelloiv. This young lady was born in Granville in the year of . A Frenchman says, a woman is only as old as she looks. Her college course has been somewhat broken. Denison gave her to Ogontz for a year, after which she claimed her again. She is an earnest student, and as Theophilus Moonshine, lecturer, a shining success. She has applied for the position of teacher in the school commonly known as Devil ' s Den in Hard Scrabble County, Tenn. She goes bearing the following .strong recommendation : The bearer of this paper is Ray Gilpatrick. I can safely assure you that if you want a teacher with good horse sense she is your man. Prof. C. L. Wiixiams. George E. Hartshorn, B. L., Ben, Franklin. Orator and Poet. A youth of sterling character, born in modern times, he comes of noble stock. Yes George is a jewel and, in fact, is often associated with the Pearl of great price. He has held divers offices in various organizations and was the honored Senior toaster at the banquet given in honor of President Hunt, by the Senior Class. Hard work has changed his features so that he is scarcely known in communities where he has not been before. Cecil Sh?:pakd Hines, B. S. If at first you don ' t succeed, etc. Hines came to this world iu 1880 and has succeeded in adapt- ing himself to this environment and begins to feel somewhat at home. He is a fine student, an able speaker, with a well developed love for the beautiful which he finds some difficulty 111 gratifying. This will have a great deal to do with determin- ing the future course of his life. rCuGENE Barney Hueeman, A. B., S X. ' ' Every inch that is not fool is rogue. — ryrt ' i?; . Short was born A. D. 1870. He is our worthy chaplain and owing to his tender and .sympathetic disposition, is greatly beloved by his flock. An able foot-ball player, with fine phy- sique and winning ways he is very popular at the Sem. He was our class treasurer in ' 98 and ' 99. The law is to be his profession. RuFU-S GiFFEN Jones, B. S., 6. T. A., Calliope. Your ancient, but ignoble blood Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood - Pope. He was born sometime in the seventies. His ability as a student is well known, but his mark in the world is to be made as a hum(3rist. He is all the time saying funny things and that too unconsciously. In some things he is quite radical; but it is thought that even this will add to his greatne.ss. Prosperity attend tin e Ruf. George Wright Lewis, A. B., Franklin. Though his skill 1 be cudgel-proof. He ' s orthodox, and that ' s enough. —John Trunibull. George Lewis is short but sweet (?). Being a faithful stu- dent of English, he is a great favorite of Prof. Williams, As President of the college Y. M. C. A he has guarded its interests with a great deal of anxiety. He has often been expo.sed to great dangers. At one lime he was almost captured by a Wolfe. It is thought that this, however, will do much towards fitting him for the battles of life. 26 Frank C. Lewis, A. B., S. X., Franklin. A little bit of a woman came Athwart my path one day . ' ' —Eugene Field. •• Spike was born in 1.S74. In 189lt he was president of his class and manager of the University foot-ball team, Although he has considerable ability as a base-ball player and debater, his chief reputation has been gained as a singer on account of which he will be remembered by his class. Because of his shrewdness and sagacity he is peculiarly fitted for the law, in which he will find his future delight. Hubert L. Nichoi,, A. B., Franklin. He is wilful, mutable. Shy, untamed, ' r scrnt h . — Emerson . Nichol, though of somewhat tender years, is our celebrated elocutionist. He has studied under various artists, chief among whom is Prof. C. Edmund Niel of Denison University. His success in this branch is no more a matter of conjecture. As an acute thinker, more than once has he baffled the Profs, with his keen questions. Mary Ida Mead, Ph. B., Philoniathean. Dear deluding woman, the joy of joys. — Bums. Miss Mead comes from the wild woolly west, her home being in South Dakota. Her first great trial in college life was to battle with that terrible malady, so common to every new stu- dent—homesickness. She then fully realized that, distance lends enchantment. When a Freshie she became noted for her brilliancy in Trig and Freshman A . She has bright prospects for a successful career. Her quick decision and prudence (?) will solve life ' s knotty problems, for who has not heard how well these qualities were displayed when she pawned her watch? Gertrude Iris Mili,er, B. S., Philomathean. Trembling maid Of her own gentle voice afraid. — Jffoore. Miss Miller is from Bellevue, Ohio, and has spent five years at Denison. She took the course in biology, and learned to say long words almost as rapidly as Prof. Herrick. Among the sterner sex she counts more than one victim to her charms, but has escaped with no serious injury to her own heart — having given it away for safe keeping some time ago. 27 David Fi oran Perkins, A. B., Calliope. At thirty man suspects himself a fool. — Young. Perk was born five years before his wife. As President of Granville B. Y. P. U., member of the board of control of athletics, chairman of Y. M. C. A. lecture course committee he has manifested great ability. He is at present manager of the University base ball team. His reputation as professor of luiglish has given him a wide acquaintance. On the subject of marriage he agrees with Stockberger in the main. Nathaniei James Perkins, A. B.; B 6 It ; Franklin. Lives of great men, etc. Prrkins is a good fellow. In 1899 he served as Vice-Presi- dent of the class and President in the following year. His honesty and integrity have given him a high place among his fellow students. During his administration in Franklin, much was done to pay the society debt. His plans for the future are not fully developed, though he thinks of teaching. William Frank Powell, B. S., Franklin. To make a happy fire-side clime to weans and wife That ' s the true pathos and sublime of human life. — Burns. Frank is one of the nice, quiet sort of fellows greatly beloved by his class-mates. As a base-ball player he is a great success. His calling is as yet undetermined, though he may preach. He has for some time been a member of a very interesting class in science. What the result will be is not fully known, though it (?) is supposed to have had a great influence upon his life. Wm. Anderson Roudebush, A. B., B e 11, Franklin. Fools are known by looking wise. As men tell woodcocks by their eyes. — Butler. Roude is more modern than some people give him credit for being. He bears the great distinction of being the leading athlete of Denison University, winning the gold medal in 1901. On social culture and etiquette he is a recognized authority of more than local reputation, so that we have no anxiety about his not making a mark in the world. 28 Wir ijAM DwiGHT Sample A. B., 2. X., Franklin. Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore. — Poor Richard. William was born a short time ago and since then has been getting ready to graduate. He is a pretty fair Sample of the Senior Class. Gentle and affectionate, he has gained the good will and respect of all who are not well acquainted with him. He has done sundry things of note and has been elected to miscellaneous offices which he has filled to overflowing. He is good looking like the rest of the Seniors, and has a smile equaled by few and excelled by none. Mary Ruth SharBR B. S., Philomathean. O, fair and stately maid, whose eyes Were kindled in the upper skies. — Emerson. The Farmers daughter, as Miss Sharer calls herself, enter- ed Denison in ' 97. Soon after her entrance she became very much interested in the Beta Fraternity, and now her loyalty to a Beta bids fair to remain constant forever. She is a zealous and faithful member of Philo and in the winter term of ' 01 had the honor of being its President. This year she has had the grave responsibility of being head Chapel Monitor. After re- ceiving her diploma in June, she expects to pursue a course in domestic science, which her friends consider a most practical plan. John Ernest Shepardson B. S., b. e n. He wears the look of a man unbought Who swears to his hurt and changes not. — Whittier. He is a great favorite among his friends and is commonly known as Shep His great individuality is no objectionable characteristic. On the contrary it is bound to pave the way for great success. His will be a life of business and for this he is, well fitted. Lewis Wilbur Smith, A. B., Franklin. I ' ve been so long remembered I ' m forgot. — Young. Smith was born 1878 in Copenhagen and landed here in 1892 mastering the English language at once. At Denison he has been prominent as foot-ball manager, President of Franklin Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A., President of the Athletic Association, manager D. B. X. and chairman of Senior Ban- quet Committee. He is a rival of the Miller, the outcome of which is still uncertain. His destiny is the law. 29 Anna Grace Swing, B. A., Euterpe. She doeth little kindnesses. Which most leave undone, or despise. — Loivell. Miss Swing has pursued the even tenor of her way up the rugged steeps of the classical course, and with no blaring of trumpets or display of pyrotechnics, has arrived at an enviable distinction in the class-room, and a warm place in the hearts of her class-mates. She was honored by being placed on the program of the first Senior Exhibition ever held in Denison University, takes great interest in athletics and is a skillful basket-ball player. Mark Winchester, Ph. B., i: X, Calliope. A lovyere and a lusty bacheler, With lockes crulle as they were leyed in presse. — Chaucer. Mark, one of the most popular boys in the University, was Ijorn in 1873. In the Y. M. C. A. he has always taken an im- portant part, ' ihe efficiency of the base ball team of IHOI was due largely to his leadership. It is his honor to hold the same position during the jjresent year. Mark is one of those unas- suming fellows, but his influence is felt throughout the entire student body. Chari eS Thomas Wise, B. S., Calliope. ' •Though I am not splenitive and rash. Yet have I something in me dangerous. — Shake ' peare. The silver tongued orator of the class and a man pre-emi- nently wise. Charles Thomas is well-known for his faithful- ness ; he has never shirked a duty without a good reason. It is not known to the historian what his plans are, but there is no doubt but that he will play his part in this world well. Dora Irene Zimmerman, B. A., Philomathean. When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music. — Longfellow. The fame of class of ' 02 having reached Miss Zimmerman when a Junior at Wooster, induced her to come to Denison to enroll in this brilliant and illustrious class. Another influence which had its weight in bringing her to Denison was the fear of her friends that if she remained at Wooster, she might join her destinies to those of a Presbyterian. She is a prominent worker in Y. W. C. A., a thorough scholar, and during her comparatively brief period with us, has made her influence strong]} ' felt in the various organirations of which she is a member. 30 Washington Banquet Toasts Oscar R.

Ernest Field 37 Class of 1903 History A GLANCE at the history of the Class of 1903 will reveal the even tenor of its ways. Among its number the class boasts of neither fool nor freak. Yet there are certain peculiarities of the class which it would be well to notice. In the first place, the Class of ' 03 has never hunted trouble but has always known what to do with it when it came. The touch- stone with which men try us, said George Eliot, is most often their vanity. Early in our career we were forced to subdue the conceit of the present Seniors by taking a banner away from them. The operation proved successful, but the conceit having been removed, when it came to the publication of the Adytum the matter had to be turned over to us. A smiilar operation was performed upon the anatomy of the present Sopho- mores one year later, which, while entirely successful, left them a de- plorable class of featherheads. The Class of ' 03 has evinced an abundance of enterprise since the very beginning of the Freshman year, when a feed in honor of the Juniors was held in Prexie ' s barn and, incidentally, his hay strewn with chicken bones. Another, shall I say, blessed feature of the Junior class is to be found in the fact that it is not encumbered by a single one of those binomial creatures, known as married students. Not that the social instinct is lacking, but that the good judgment of the members has led them to defer such diversions as matrimony until the book-boning is over. (But watch Flory the day after Commencement. — Ed.) How- ever, in this connection rumor has it that Olmsted is making good progress in this direction. But this is none of ours, and I do not in- tend to mention the subject, since his attentions are being devoted, not to Shepardson, but to a fair one of the Windy City on the shore. The writer believes the less said on the subject, the better. In dealing with the subject of afifinities it would be unfair not to mention Amos. While innocent enough in purpose, Frank ' s sporadic sentiment and fitful fancy leads him into promiscuous courtships, which keep the maids a-guessing. But he will outgrow this. La Rue, also, shows signs of the malady, but his natural timidity causes him to develop the literary phase, in such productions as Girls T Have Known (this title seems horridly suggestive of Seton-Thomp- 38 son ' s Wild Animals I Have Known ), To the Athletic Girl of the swinging stride, and The Girl at Hum, who eats beechnuts with him. Now the climax of this whole story comes at the end. Said the Frenchman, Boileau : The best thing about a man is his wife. So the best thing about the Class of 1903 is its girls. One contributor signing himself O. I. D., has contributed the following poem: To the Junior Girls May the lines of their lives be as even As the lines of a sweet, sweet song. And the days of their years be as happy As the years of those days are long ; From their eyes as bright As the glad sunlight, May the sad tears never fall. Till angels come to summon. And they answer to the call. Every young man in the Junior class would set his signature to this sentiment if he had the chance, for he would remember the hay ride to the home of Miss Fulton, and the picnic at Somebody ' s pond away back in the woods, and how much enjoyment the Junior girls con- tributed to these occasions. And my one word in conclusion is this : If you ' re looking about you, boys, you can ' t do any better. Historicus. Sophomore Class Colors Red and Stone-Gray.

WlLFORD Mary Wolfe R. M. Wylie 45 The Class of 1904 5DPI10nOR.E Words, Words, Words CONSIDERING the zvondcrfnl strength of the students who entered the Freshman Class of the University in the Fall of 1900, we are led to believe that nothing less than Divine Providence or a special meeting of the Faculty could have brought together such a congregation of strength and wisdom. Naturally a class so favored would have a com- paratively easy time in all contests which might arise ; this fact, however, was not at first duly appre- ciated by a certain class in school, much to their sor- row in the days that followed, but to do justice to , . them, without whose consent this selection could not be given, I will say that in the Cane Rush which occurred soon after the opening of school, the Junior boys, though struggling against the inevi- table put up a very entertaining fight, and, thanks to the interference of friends, were saved from total humiliation. The possession of the Cane being given temporarily to a committee, was finally won by the Class of 1904, by the defeat of their rivals on the diamond. It IS said that in order to console them somewhat, the Juniors are conducted to a certain place at stated times, and one by one, allowed to take a loving look at the cane for which thev struggled so bravely. For some time after the Cane-Rush in ' the Fall, the students remain- ed very quiet, but with the opening of Spring, the Class of ' 04 again became active and completely outwitted their opponents in every contest in which they engaged. The Juniors are always eager to take a vacation, but rather than participate in any celebration on Arbor Day in the future, they would be burned at the stake. What is the use, they say, of planting trees ; in the morning the young tree springeth up and flourisheth, and before a dav hath passed away, behold ! it is gone, and no man knoweth whither. Greatly disheartened by the loss of their trees, the Class of ' 03 began to lay plans for revenge, thinking that the strength of their opponents might lay in their hair, they made a raid under the cover of night, and secured the scalps of several Freshmen intending to wear the hair to chapel the next morning. Well, if thev could have transplanted it, doubt- less they might have made use of a limited quantity, for by the time of chapel the sun shone down upon a score of heads which, save a few pin feathers, scattered along the outer edges, were as bald as Sugar Loaf ; indeed, as the day progressed, the boys somehow or other, lost interest in 46 their hair; i: didn ' t seem to be necessary at all. Well, to make a long story short, or rather to make long hair short, seemed to be fashionable just then. The Class of 1904 completed their Freshman year by a sweeping victory on Field Day. It might be added that the young ladies of the class obtained a like success in the Shepardson Field events. Thus the class finished their Freshman year in triumph, and began a new year with good prospects for success. In the Fall of 1901, instead of the Cane-Rush as in the previous year, the Sophomores, by agreement, were given a certain time to take down their opponents ' flag, which had been placed upon a high pole. Considering the odds against them, the Soph ' s naturally expected some slight resistance, but were sadly dissappoiutcd. The main purpose of the Freshmen at first seemed to be in smearing lard on themselves in the hope that they could slip out of the fight ; finding this of no avail, they would wait for an opportune moment when their opponents had every- thing ready to tie them, then they would rush forth and beg to be taken so as not to be separated from their comrades who were already secured. As fast as a man was caught, he was taken over the hill and planted in the moist, mellow earth which as was to be expected turned out an abundant crop of pumpkins and squashes in a very short time. Thus the last of her enemies was finally disposed of, and the Class of 1904 could rest in perfect peace and safety. 47 The Freshman Class Yell Ki Yi ! Ki Yi ! Chiiig chang chu.

Very wonderful things no doubt ; Unwritten history ! Unfathomed mystery ! Yet he chuckles, and crows, and nods, and winks, As though his head were full of kinks. First a climb up a hill which seems never ending ; then a few mo- ments in the presence of an august individual with large glasses and a Van Dyke ( ?) beard, who tells you of three or four professors you must find, but whose names vou have forgotten before you are out of his room ; then ,a long, long wait in the pleasant apartments of the Registrar, while the clocks strike ten, eleven, twelve, and thoughts of dinner are uppermost ; then the quiet declaration, when you are next to be served, that there will be no more registering until afternoon ; another wait at that time, but finally by the clip-clip of the conductor ' s punch you are passed into the green fields of Freshmandom in D. U. So great was this ordeal for those passing through it for the first time, this year, without the guiding hand of a President, that they felt that it would be only by a ba.nding together of their interests that they could stand the strain. So on the afternoon of the 18th of Sep- tember, they met in the College Chapel, and formally organized the Class of ' 05. Already the spirit of pugnacity had shown itself, and at this meeting there were discussed means and measures for defeating the Sophomores in a class rush. After various delays and changes this finally took place on the morning of the 24th of September, at which time the orange and black of ' 05 might have been seen proudly floating from an immense pole behind the old Gym. It was a good fight, and a hard fight, but — the girls had to ma.ke another class flag. But it was not until the ' 05 hats appeared that everyone, even the Sophs, wished to be Freshmen. Certainly never was there such a thing of beauty as those hats, and surely no one ever fully realized how many Freshmen D. U. rejoiced in until they were worn. On the evening of the 1st of March the boys of the class enter- tained their ' 05 sisters with a ghost party in Doane Academy, at which 54 true and untrue ghost stories were recited in all their harrowing- details. The justice which was later done to certain refreshments proved, however, that the ghosts were of the flesh and blood. Not- withstanding the intrusion of two evil spirits the evening was most delightfullv spent and the afYair voted an entire success. Senior Academe- Class Colors Scarlet and Black. Yell Wow, wow, wow!

It ' s a long way, etc. ; the exception proves the rule, etc., were only verified when there came together kindred spirits of the Junior Class of ' 99, who defied the time honored custom and dared to emulate the example of their self-styled superiors. Naturally, the first thought was of a bum. The same being in- spired not so much by the mystery, daring and previous example as by the voracity of the appetite of some of mamma ' s boys who had been compelled, without previous training, to satiate their hunger at a club table. From Juniors to Middles and Middles to Seniors the course of the class was comparatively smooth. Again in the fall term of the Senior year that same daring spirit which seemed to be slumbering broke forth and one morning as the crowd hurried to chapel there was seen saucily, irreverently flying in the breeze, the flag of the Senior Class. Vowing dire things and many, both Middle Preps and Freshies strove to tear it from its fastenings. All in vain. The very fates seemed to favor the Seniors. Now when it was in their very grasp the wind would whirl it far away and now when their pole seemed just about to tear it loose, again the favoring breeze wafted it into the eaves- trough. Suffice it to say, it stayed there until three loyal Seniors secured and hid it away as one of their treasures. Mystery surrounded its where- abouts until February 21, at Washington banquet, when from the high arched ceiling it floated with all its undaunted spirit. 58 QOErTI I Philomathean Flower: Heliotrope.

Although her subjects were not very num- erous, still they were loyal to their queen, and obeyed her every command. Now, unlike other queens we read about, this one, beside being a ruler, belonged to the army of the world ' s workers, for she was a Raker. Manv of her subjects followed her example, and were also verv indus- trious, for in her small kingdom were two other Bakers also. y nd in a beautiful castle, high up in the third story, there lived a, Miller, while in the same castle, was a Sharer in her work, both loyal to Philoland and their queen. This land was quite different from other countries, for it had Snow all the year round, and at almost anv time vou could see a Wolfe, while a very common sight was a Butterfield. ' There dwelt a Hunter in this country who never lacked game. For if he should go out most any day for a Hunt, he would come back bringing with him a Drake, a Crow or a Martin and other small game. But perhaps you would be more interested to know that in this wonderful country you could obtain Nickels at any time, and Moore if you wanted them. It may be you never saw a Marsh and an (M) organ together. But go to Philo- land and there, if you look, you will find them usually in company with another being, a Denison, named after the large country at the top ' of the mountain. I wish very much I had more time to tell you about this won- derful land and the people there, but I hope that you will be able to go yourself and visit Philoland. R. E.

The band meets once a week for the purpose of studying such literature as will best fit its members for their life work. It aims to get a thorough understanding of the intel- lect ual and practical preparation of the volunteer as mapped out by those who have had experience on the foreign field or from other authorities. 90 Young Women ' s Christian Association Officers 1901 = 1902 President, . . . . .

Field The Denison Scientific Association offers rare opportunities to those seeking scientific knowledge. Students and professors meet on the same footing and share equally in the conduct of the work. Meetings are held bi-weekly. Membership entitles one to all the university bulletins. In connection with the Association is a large library containing nearly all the scientific publications of value from all over the world. These publications are all catalogued after the Dewey system, and are subject to the use of any student in the Universitv. Vice-President, Permanent Secretary, Secretary, K. O. BURRER W. W.

Hutson Program Committee . . } Prof. G. W. McKibben V Miss Anna B. Peckham This is the newest born into the family of organizations at Denison. r ut though new, it nevertheless gives promise of justifying its existence. The avowed object of the association, as set forth in its constitution is threefold : to stimulate interest in the study of language and literature ; to unify the work of the various language departments of the University ; to promote the use of correct, idiomatic English in University circles. With such a charter, and with such an auspicious beginning as it has made, it most certainly has a right to expect the hearty support and en- thusiasm of a very large number, and also bids fair to take its place among the most helpful agencies in our University life. The large scope of the association, including as it does, all departments of language study, emphasizes two significant facts, namely : that all such study is essen- tially one ; and that it all has, as its chief aim or one of its chief aims, the better understanding and use of our mother-tongue. If a broad and beneficient aim justifies the perpetuity of an organization, the Denison Language Association may well be expected to reach a ripe old age. i 94 7)RAMAUIC CLVB Denison lias for some time felt the need of a more lively interest along the line of dramatic study and culture. This year under the direc- tion of the Department of Oratory, a Dramatic Club has been organized, and the work which is being done bids fair to be both a help and a credit to the school. During this school year the Club will present to the public two plays, Lend IN ' Ie Five Shillings; and A Scrap of Paper. The following are members : Miss May Sellers, Miss Helen Wil- liams, Miss Florence Beckel, Miss Lulu Shinn, Miss Ada Hunt, Miss Helen Case, Mr. Henry Colby, Mr. William Sproull, Mr. Marius Mc- Guffey, Mr. Elmer Conley, Mr. Donald Powers and Mr. Hubert Nichol. 95 ARTHUR L.

There are three important attractions which keep up the interest in this organization : First — The social features. Second — The brilliant and witty remarks of the instructor, and. Thirdly — There are one or two who come for the music. All music is printed in the characters used above, and it is highly appreciated by the members. The name Choral Union fails to express the unity and harmony which exists among the members. For further information apply to Prof. F. L. Hutson, an enthusiastic supporter of the organization, and right hand man to the pianist. 100 Officers of the Cadet Corps Commandant Capt. W. M. Wihiams, U. S. A. ' Instructor of Tactics Major M. H.

It does invaluable work among those girls whose early environment has lacked culture and refinement. Miss Mary A. Stevens fills The John L. Gil- patrick Chair of Etiquette, while the founder of the chair himself, gives lectures from time to time. He is said to be so proficient that he does not now yawn nor stretch more than twice in the course of each lecture. The embarrassing difficulties in connection with turning down objec- tionable young men who seek social engagements, are easily mastered by the greenest girl. The rule is simply to say in the third person what would hardly be in harmony with the requirements of the truth if said in the first person over one ' s signature. The officers are : John L. Gil- patrick, Professor of Etiquette, Mary A. Stevens ; Flynn Lecture of facial massage and beauty developer, Harriet M. Barker ; Instructor in Jollying, Anna B. Peckham ; Chemical Advisor, C. A. Davies ; Experimental Man- ikin, A. L. Judson. The The studio has spread its influence so widely this year that now one of its most ardent supporters is one of the young men of Denison Uni- versity. We agree heartily with Mr. Loughridge in the statement that our lives lack culture and refinement which is to be gained in no other way than by a study of the fine arts. This is especially true if the studies be pursued in pleasant social environment. Manly models are much in demand in the life classes and there is a special etiquette of art by which the young ladies of the class are privi- leged to make very direct and pleasant remarks as to the beauty of the physiognomy and stature of the model. It is certain to swell the head of any man in college. It is hoped that these statements will arouse much interest in the department and that next year a number of young men will be in the classes. 103 student Govern ment President RUTH A. DRAKE, ' 04 Senate Miss Stbvbns Miss Peckham Dora Zimmerman, ' 02 CORINNE Metz, ' 03 Kate S. Chambers, ' 04 Proctors Burton Hall Elizabeth Fullerton King Hall lyOuisE Jones L,ilian Megginson Club House Laura Bayless Shepardson Cottage Adelaide Jenness Case Cottage Carrie Mellowes At the commencement of the Fall Term, Shepardson began a new era. Self-government took the place of the old rule which has been in existence since the foundation of the institution was laid. The girls appreciate this and feel satisfied that they can make the venture a success. The official board of the Association consists of a president, senate and house committee ; the latter being composed of the president and proctors. Now instead of a long-suffering teacher having the responsi- bility of maintaining quiet during study hours and order throughout the day, the girls of each house choose one of their number whose duty it is to attend to these things. The members of the Faculty are taking a much needed rest, and the girls — well, just ask the proctors. 104 Shepardson Dining Hall _ The Sem. dining hall ! What visions are presented to our minds ! Patient teachers, hungry girls and tardy culprits gathered in the long, cheerless room which in summer is very hot ancl in winter convulses our frames with shivers ; seven tables laden with all the bounties which the mind can conceive of, namely — mashed potatoes and tough roast beef. First of all we mention Miss Barker ' s table. Here are seated those girls who require the vigilant watching of a commanding mind. At this table tardy ones are fined and so an extra efTort is made toward promptness. Punctuality is an indication of character, you know. Miss Moore ' s table. This table honors the dining hall, having among its numbers the only member of the opposite sex. Miss Blinn ' s table. This is one of the best-behaved tables in the hall and the girls always 105 (?) come to meals. Mrs. Hunt ' s table. This is more of a family circle than are the other tables. Here are discussed all the charms of the gentleman friends. Miss Adkins ' table. The head is always late and the foot also. This bad example is followed by many of the girls. Miss Stevens ' table. This is presided over by the sweetest of us all. Those who sit here spend most of their energy in giggling and in playing jokes on the other tables. As a climax we mention the German table. Miss Peckham, with befitting dignity, rules this august assembly. O, vie sie sprechen ! (with the aid of dictionaries). The rest of us are con- tent to use our native tongue, but these, whose minds are ever broad- ening, reach forth to grasp the secrets and mysteries of German con- versation. The Hobson Club Papa Farel, who hails from the west. Came here in a, wife to invest. But Mr. Burrer, who looks well fed, Loves to eat (Miss) Baker ' s bread. Guthrie is as meek as a lamb ; Nor is his silence always a sham. Dowieites, to repose go west. But our West and Dowd stay here to rest. Moore is stuck on the Sem, For marry he would a gem. Mr. Hall, he ' s so pretty; A cupid with a little ditty. Mr. Hick, the pious youth. Is our steward, forsooth. Cherney, the one they call Ed, With the Sem seemed well wed. Cherney, the one they call John, Is very often sat upon. Mr. Waterman loves to bestow Smiles on girls high or low. Martin without a light, Eats everything in sight. Gutridge, like Hall, loves beef liver. And eats it with surprising vigor. Fowle is surely no mean bird. To say so would be absurd. Hempsted, the mechanical toiler. Asked for a horse and a half boiler. Ye Knights That Feed at Ye Table Round [Being a simple narration of how the round table does still play an important part at Maw Mitchell ' s.] Then in glides Sir Gallahad Cherney, the sainted, the annointed one, the peerless sponsor of ye Y. M. C. A., questing still the Holy Grail 106 (which has strangely taken the form of a sister at Burton Abbey.) Forsooth before he sits at his none-meat, he needs must glare about the table round, and, making several passes at the wall with his trenchant blade, he swears by the Holy Order of Ragchewers (of which he is a members) that he is loved by the fairest and truest damosel in all the middle-marches. There now arises a great hubbub and tumult ; chairs and trenchers are knocked over, the rattle of weapons is heard, and it looks as if there would be something doing. The great Sir Tristram Du Jones towers over the babbler. Tristie is a Cornish knight, and hails from the Welsh marches. Indeed he is a right worshipful knight, and strong of his hands. He rolls his little sea-green eyes, and through the hall is heard the creak of his rusty locks swayed by passion. Odds bodds, quoth he, And if there were but a pennyweight of worship to be gained from that miserable carcass of yours, I would lay on sturdily and spare ye not, but even spit ye on my good blade like unto a partridge, or an eel, spitted upon a toasting fork. It behooves me not to parley with you, since I am hungry, I will again sit. The Irish knight, Sir Marahus O ' Flanagan, the knight of the Red Nose, and beady eye, now glowers fiercely at Sir Gallic (otherwise makes goo-goo eyes), and chopping his chops, and gumming his gums, he girds up his loins, and finally lashes himself into a fury. Wit you well, craven, cries he, and keep well thy head, for I will have to do with you this day. You not only needs must defile the atmosphere with your reeking puns and steal cow syrup from under my very nostrils, but it is your pleasure to throw this in my teeth. Now this is principally hot air. Sir Gallic, however, being ever a prudent Knight, quaketh in his socks, to hear these high, bold words. The other feeders thinking unto themselves a thunk, see that Sir Marie and Sir Gallic might get in ye rags. They sing out, enough, enough, peerless ones, for shame, get away back under the sink. And peace again reigns at the Round Table of Maw Mitchell. Union Club This club is subject to violent epidemics of various sorts. The con- tagious atmosphere which surrounds Pa Whallon produced an outburst of calling at the Sem and included in its victims Oxley, Boyer, Dusthimer (severe case), Lewis, Bethel, Howell and Onstatt, and even La Rue. Then Dusthimer started to writing poetry, and Vance, La Rue, Howell, Oxley and Pa all got it bad. It is thought that this disease grew out of Dusthimer ' s previous attack of Sem fever. Then Vance started to play ball, and Jackson immediately got the idea that he could get any position on the first team, while others had slight attacks. Then Tidd thought he could lick the whole Sophomore Class, and this contagion included Hixon and all the Newark gang. Old steady Bear and Alcohol Ike were the only immunes. They chew their grub and look at all the fuss and flurry as nonsense. 107 Epicurean Club MOTTO : Eat, drink and be married. Ding a-ling-a-ling! and there stalked forth to the table eight min- isterial students, two civil engineers, two lawyers, two musicians, two teachers, two Alexandrians, and one M. D. This nearl) ' completes the list, there being but one man Loose. The most conspicuous characters are : Morris, the Toast master. Bobby, the Autocrat. The preacher, with a broken pinion. The guardian of table No. 2. Rittenhouse, the man with small whiskers. SNAP SHOTS : The organic nonnitrogenous fat, please ! May I help Johnny first? Ring the bell Swick ! Send that jug around. Pass the Jim-cracks, Jack ! At the Central Club It is dinner time at the Central Club. The fellows are gathered about m groups noisily talking and laughing. Nettleman impatiently lingers near the doorway of the dining room. Suddenly the bell jingles, and a grand rush for the table follows. On the way Zim gets tangled up in the chandelier, and Pat falls under the table. After grace, the length of which varies directly as the amount of meat, all hands fall to, and for a few moments the meat has a tough time of it, and the butter strongly defends itself. Soon we see a smile hovering about Pat ' s mouth. Wymer announces, It ' s coming, fellows, and the Li on of Greene County gets off a joke of huge proportions. This is a signal for the chief jokers each to get ofl: a sample of his own unique and original kind of wit. Giggles is kept busy interpreting the remarks, and Zim leans back in his chair and laughs heartily at a last week ' s joke, the point of which he has just seen. Pat is the chief joker, with Beall a close second in the line of conundrums, while Al passes judgment on the jokes, a duty for which he is thoroughly competent, as he never made any jokes himself, and hence is unprejudiced. Foxy and Uncle Fuller, from the institution of learning at the other end of town, are brimful of catch problems and card tricks, with which they amuse the company. Rev. Cosby tells of the chicken and the other good things he has eaten among the brethren the Sabbath before. Colby and Ashmore help themselves to more crackers before passing the dish. Sideburns from Alec, noted for his long reach, helps himself liberally, and leaves the dishes sitting about his plate. Roberts negotiates for Wilkin ' s pie, and occasionally ( ?) joins in the conversation. He says pickpockets are people who go about in an abstract manner. Barton passes up his glass 108 for more water, and yells for the bread. Willy Wright and Charlie Burke eat slowly and enjoy the jokes. Cross, who is saving up his r ' s for his grandchildren, talks in an undertone with his right hand neighbor. Shipp gets of¥ a few jokes (?) of a decided English flavor, while Owen, who eats for the pleasure it gives him, engages in an altercation with Gallaher as to which has the larger piece of pic. Field, the steward, listens to the criticisms on the viands, and feebly defends himself. He sometimes lapses into a eulogy in which birds and the Prof, of Biology are indiscrim- inately mingled. The Sigma Chi Club First there ' s Spike and Hiney, who sit together in the bald- headed row. Spike don ' t know much but he ' s ornamental and Hiney watches him to see that he don ' t suck his thumb. Shorty our Mellin ' s Food Baby sits at the head of the table. Then there ' s Mark, the original and only Infant Prodigy, he chews his own food. Billy Sproull don ' t say much but is continually humming some sweet lullaby such as Who Threw the Codfish Ball in Father ' s Eye. Frank Amos asks the blessing and jerks the tinkler when Joe wants more beans. Joe dotes on beans. Will Wickenden sits quietly and nurses his boil which he uses for a collar button. Alfred, alias John, cuts Shorty ' s meat for him. Horace, Dick, Gyp, Dewey and Dolly eat at the second table. The Beta Eating Club A sound like the ringing of a bell ; a score of boys are silent ; its loud ding-dong ; a score of boys are rushing pell mell, pell mell. in wild time with the bell, through rooms, out of doors, down stairs, to one especial door ; a score of chairs scrape on the floor, a score of boys flop clown, and the Beta Club is at dinner. A moment ' s silence — you know for what — and then Clay ' s angelic little voice is heard piping up to his brother Sen- ior: Deak, give me your desert! Want my peas? But he can ' t beat Gaston, who by this time is crying loudly : Who don ' t want their cran- berries? while Abe puts in with a tone ironical enough to support the table: Who don ' t want their? Suddenly Wilford stops eating, glances up and down the table a moment, then leans back and bursts into a laugh, which is easily heard at the postoftice. He has just seen through one of Pease ' s jokes cracked a week and two days ago. As this is remarkably quick comprehension for him the table unanimously elects him joke an- nouncer for another term. Poddy comes in, late as usual ; picks up his chair by the back, looks carefully at the bot ' tom of it, tilts it forward on its front legs, shakes it, looks deliberately at it again, and sits down. But through and above all resounds the everlasting cry of our good friend Hunt : Potatoes, potatoes, pass ' tatoes ! until Kibbie cracks a would-be joke, when the awful solemnity of that event puts a hush upon all, which will often last until the last of the viands have long since disappeared. But worse than all else more direful in its immediate and consequent 109 Son ZVL ' contemplate, ,.s the moment in which Rudie and Gaston get into an argument, for into that vortex of wisdom will be drawn n rapid succession, Abe. with his hands keeping pace with his worcTs Don with his unconfoundable (at least to himself) ' mind ; Tack w7th the wisdom of many years in his young head ; Nat, who calls us all ' Betars lem and finnir T-7 ' T- ' ' ' If ' ' ' mathematical prob- lem, anc finally Hartshorn, who will solemnly asservate that a man has a rell T ' ' ' ' electrocuted, who has simph bougli a revolver with evil intent against another man. Take care, oh yea iietas! stop your ears, run to your rooms, lock •our doors, think not of food or drink, when Rudie starts an argument. ' P. S. Since the above was written Pease has eaten a whole meal without getting of¥ a bad pun. The doctors give little hope of recovery 110 P( b caf ons  The Denisonign • -V-L. The Denisonian.

L. Herrick. In the preface to the first vohime he states that its purpose is to represent the life of the college in its scientific departments. Since 1887, when the Bulletin became the official organ of publication of the Denison Scientific Asso- ciation, the permanent secretary of the Association has been exofficio editor of the Bulletin. The Bulletin has just closed its eleventh volume. Its 70 separate articles are original contributions to science, most of which embody re- searches carried out in the laboratories of Denison Universitv. It is exchanged for the publications of learned societies in nearly all countries of the world, and by these exchanges alone the Library of Scientific Asso- ciation has accumulated 23,000 pamphlets and 600 bound volumes, all of which are modern contributions to science.

Marlowe, ' 99 Gymnastics and Athletics at Shepardson The accommodations for gymnastic work among the young women of Shepardson College, like those of the young men, are meager. In spite of the obstacles, successful work is conducted. Regular exercise is required of the students and the small room set aside for the purpo.se is used in such a way that the desired results are obtained, even if it is not so enjoyable as a better equipment would make it. An able woman instructor has been in charge for three years and also conducts athletic work as the opportunity can be made. Basket-ball teams, lacking suitable indoor grounds, play upon the campus when the weather is suitable. The tennis court is always well used outside of study and recitation hours. A successful field day occurred May 30, 1901, and will probably be followed by another this spring. The interest in the sports of the young men increased last year and there was a marked increa.se in the attendance of the young ladies at the base-ball and foot-ball games. The young women of Shepardson would undoubtedly take much interest in this branch of their school life if suitable quarters were pro- vided for them. Their hope is in the future, and in the meanwhile they are using what accommodations they have, developing sound healthy bodies, strong nerves, to say nothing of appetites. 122 Field Day Of Shepardson College, May 30, 1901 Referee — Miss Mary E.

I was just getting on a pair of slippers, ready for a nice, quiet evening before the grate fire, when the door was opened— letting in a whirl of the outside air, and a breath of its intense cold— and Jack Kerr came in. I looked up at him with an exclamation of surprise, but he deigned no fur- ther answer than: Why, yes; and seated himself in my large arm-chair. He sat gazing into the fire— his elbows on his knees and his chm resting in his hands— without so much as taking ofif his hat or coat. Wha.t in the world ' s the matter. Jack? What ' s up, anvhow? He started and glanced toward me as though he had not known before that I was in the room. I got up, and walking toward him. offered to take 126 his hat and coat, and after a moment ' s absent-minded hesitation he handed them to me. I noticed that there was a peculiar look upon his face ; a look that told of some pain or sorrow, — I knew not what. That Jack Kerr was a peculiar fellow i well knew. He was having a hard time getting through college, and while usually good-natured and happy, was subject to the most terrible attacks of despondency. When he got into this way it was usually impossible to do anything with him; nevertheless when I came back I sat down upon the edge of the chair, and putting my arm over his shoulder, said: Jack, old boy, what ' s the trouble, anyhow? What ' s up now ? He did not answer for a minute or two, and then said: Well, I tell vou, Fred, it ' s a rather long story, and 1 suppose I ought not to bother you with it, but I didn ' t know whom else to go to, and I thought that maybe you would — un — der — stand I suppose the only thing to do is to tell the whole story right from the beginning. Of course you know I have to work some to help me with my expenses, and lately I ' ve been doing a little now and then for Judge Gary. Well, a couple of weeks ago he sent me down to one of his tenants on Sumner Street to see about some back rent. I went around to the side door and knocked, and at first got no answer, but in a couple of minutes a pale-faced little woman opened the door, and timidly — very timidly, just like a licked dog, it seemed to me — asked what I wanted. I got an idea as soon as Tsaw her that she must be in pretty hard lines, and I told her my errand as gently as possible. Well, just as I expected, she said she couldn ' t pay the rent : hus- band and child sick, and she just about able to keep things moving at all. She didn ' t tell me so, but I rather believed that she was as sick as the rest of the family. It happened that I didn ' t have any more work to do that afternoon, so I asked her if there wasn ' t something I could do to help her. She seemed mightily pleased at that, and let me carry in a little coal from the shed, and goodness knows there was little enough of it there. I did what little more I could for her, and then on my way back to the Dorm stopped in at Doc Fisher ' s and asked him to go down there, and not to say anything to them about pay. I thought that I could find a way of attending to that sometime. The next day I went up to the house to tell the Tudge how things stood, but he had been called away unexpectedly. ' Since then I ' ve been going down there about every day and help- ing the woman a little. It was about ten days ago that I noticed that they were having more and better things to eat, and that there was an air of real neatness about the kitchen that was rather new. I didn ' t say anything about this for a day or two, but finally ventured to ask about it. The question seemed to embarrass the M oman very much, — so much in fact, that I became rather suspicious, wondering if every- thing was all right. The day after I had asked her about this I hap- pened to go down to the house a little earlier than usual, and as had become my custom, opened the side door and went in without knock- ing. And ' there was a sight I ' ll never forget. Standing in front of the rude kitchen table, with her sleeves up and an old apron over her dress, stood Eleanor Gary, the judge ' s daughter, washing dishes. I knew her more by sight than by acquaintance, but as she saw me she started, then recovering herself, ' said : Why Mr. Kerr! I guess we ' re both caught, aren ' t we? I ' ve been trying to find out for several days 127 who the good fairy was; so it ' s you, is it? And then she went on washing the dishes with as httle concern as though it were her usual oc- cupation : talking the while, — telling me to do this ; asking me to look after that, until I Well, perhaps that had better come later. When we got through I walked home with her, and she told me how she had happened upon the Jenkins family ; and how fine she thought it was of me in doing what I was. At least I think she told me all this, but I was in a sort of dream all the way to her house and couldn ' t tell you for sure just what did happen. And when we got to her home she said good-bye to me in the nicest way, — just as though I were one of her old friends, and not a poor college student running errands for her father. Here Jack stopped, and it seemed to me that I heard a sob: perhaps it was only the storm outside. Then, after a moment he went on: Maybe it just happened, but if it did, it was a most happy accident for me, that we both got to Jenkinses ' about the same time the next evening. And it ' s come to be rather a regular thing that we go at the same time, and then I walk home with her. And the other evening when it was so cold she asked me if I wouldn ' t come in for a little while, and get warm. Just think : Judge Gary ' s daughter asking inc to come into her home as her visitor. But you know that somehow she doesn ' t seem above me ; when I ' m with her it seems to me that I ' m living in altogether a dif¥erent atmosphere, where I can appreciate her, and she has — perhaps it ' s all foolishness to think it, but I do sometimes — she has some little thought for me. But now Jenkins is well, and this was the last night we were to go down there. I suppose it ' s awful to think it, but I believe I ' d have given half of my life to have him stay sick longer, if only this other could have kept up. And now probablv it ' s all over. From that little part of her life I have entered I will drop out, and — be — well, I suppose — forgotten; while she ' s come into my life a s no one else ever has: as though she were the whole of it, the all. The last words I could scarcely hear. His head had dropped forward, and his chin now rested on his hands as he sat staring into the fire. I scarcely knew how to a.nswer him. His was not a mind easily responsive to any emotion, but when once touched — as it now seemed to be — it was moved to its depth. The girl I knew as a friend of my childhood, and I felt cer- tain that she merited all that Jack thought of her. It seemed to me that the only thing for him to do was to ask permission to call, and then make his way as would anvone else; but he felt a dif¥erence of station of which I was certain the girl took no thought. We talked a little while longer, and then Jack left, promising, however, to keep me informed of the trend of affairs, if, as he ruefully said, there is any trend. I was not an infrequent visitor at the Gary ' s, and it was but a few days after this that I was calling there. Just a.s I was preparing to leave, a boy came to the door with a small parcel. In a hand which I recognized as Jack ' s, and which Eleanor also knew (for he had done some writing for her father), was written, For Miss Eleanor. Inside was a single immense rose. She looked at it a moment, then turned lo show it to me. I ' d almost forgotten, she said, that today was ' alentine ' s Day. See my other present, too, and she pointed to a 128 vase filled with flowers much like the one she held in her hand An engraved card lymg near gave the name of one of Miss Gary ' s most ardent admirers. It was in my mind to take up the side of Jack, and his name was on n y hps, but as I turned toward her I saw the color of her face mmgle with that of the rose in her hand, and her lips touch the flower— his fiower— his valentine, a,nd by her look I knew that all was well. Ralph B. Miller. The Sophomores ' Victory On a balmy autumn morning E ' er the biting frosts had come. When the Freshies ' heads were bursting With the glory to be won. Close around their flag they circled, Urchins, orphans, children all, H ere the verdant youths were gathered, Linked as one by duty ' s call. Soon as up the hill approaching. Silently the Sophs are seen, Falls a hush, a deep foreboding In the hearts upon the green. Filled with hope and firm conviction. Few but strong in close array, Each one stands in his position ' Heart to heart, the red and gray. Quick the signal now is given. Swiftly toward the pole they fly. Like a crash, in fierce collision. Foe meets foe with blazing eye. Madly to their standard clinging. Shirt bands rip and noses crack, Grease and lard in streamlets running Up and down the Freshman ' s back. While the fight was briskly raging Back and forth around the group The girls of naughty four were spinning Cords to bind them hand and foot. One by one the foe were taken, Tied and bound, and la.id away Sad, alone, by all forsaken, A feast for gnats unto this dav. 129 In Sugar Making Time (prize poem.) When winter ' s snows are melting Before the bright sunHght, And bits of green arc creeping out From months of darkest night, Then our thoughts begin to wander, And we turn with longing eyes To where the tall trees lift their heads, So high into the skies. And we listen, fondly listen, For the rhythm and the rhyme Of the sap a-drip, drip, dripping, In sugar making time. What ' s the use to talk of study, Or of flunking to us then ? Latin, Greek or Mathematics, Can ' t begin to hold us when The merry birds are singing In the tree-tops, up so high, Setting all the welkin ringing. And bidding us draw nigh. There to listen, fondly listen, To the rhythm and the rhyme Of the sap a-drip, drip, dripping. In sugar-making time. When our college days are ended. And v e all go out and try To gain the prize in clanging ma rts. Where traders sell and buy, Will our hearts and minds go backward To the times of yesterday. When our lives were full of gladness. And no shadows crossed our way ? When we listened, fondly listened. To the rhythm and the rhyme Of the sap a-drip, drip, dripping. In sugar-making time. O. I. DUSTHIMER. The Secret The wind is whisp ' ring thro ' the leafy trees ; The rippling brooklet answers to the breeze. Fleecy clouds across the sky are trailing, ' In the sea of sunshine slowly sailing; And the ferns and grasses swing and sway ; ' While the birds make music all the day. 130 Birds and brooklet — tell me what you sing, You and yonder bubbling little spring, Is it on the past you ' re fondly dwelling, O ' er and o ' er some simple story telling? Won ' t you tell me clearly, all the tale, All the secrets of this dreamy vale? Ah ! But they are secrets, every one, Many, many ; but we tell to none; For the youths and maidens often wander To the fatal tree and boulder yonder, Tho ' we listen long it is in vain ! We only know they leave thro ' lover ' s lane. Alice Adkins. As He Turned It was the first week that Frank Lennox was away at college, and everything was new and strange to him; mostly pleaiant, just a trifle exciting, but there were times when he felt just a twinge of home- sickness, and the longing for old friends overcame his natural buoy- ancy. It was in the early evening of one of these first few days, as the moon was just peeping up over the college buildings, that Frank was walking slowly along one of the little side streets of the funnv old town, whistling as usual. He was thinking of those at home, and just then of one in particular. How far apart they were; how much he would have given to see again just for a moment a certain face, and a pair of laughing eyes! and the notes of Way Down Upon the Suwanee River, which he was whistling, must have carried a strangelv mourn- ful air to even the least observant But who was that? Certainly he does not know her. But she gave him a most charming smile as they passed. Involuntarily he turns his head. Ah, he sees. What an ex- cellent chance for a college flirtation! He starts to turn, but he sees before him a face with saddened eyes, and As he walks briskly on one may easily notice in his whistle an air of exultation commingled with that other of sadness. Ralph B. Miller. The Senior ' s Farewell Alone I stand where first we met Listening close for the slightest step ; Soft as a zephyr though it be I ' ll hear it, Love, and know ' tis thee. Oft en we ' ve stood by this laughing stream And looked for the silvery gleam, Clear and bright, as it bids farewell To the maple ' s top far up the dell. But now. Commencement Dav is near, And we must part, yet grant me here 131 Just one kiss before we go, Darling, for I wish it so. • • ■ Come, let us meet beneath the trees ; There only June with its gentle breeze Loitering a moment in the cool retreat. Shall hear our story and the words we speak, And only the birds as they hasten by Shall bear our thoughts and drea.ms on high. And only the trees and the sky above Shall know the secret of our love. — C. F. B A Summer Night ' s Memory The cold moon fills the night With pale and silvery floods of light. The trees across the campus cast Dark shadows on the frosty grass. Summer is past and winter is near. Yet a summer night ' s mem ' ry is now very clear, With the moon ' s shimmering light on the river, And the stars on the surface, that twinkle and quiver. The laughter and music, the dip of the oars. The quiet and pleasure that then were ours, The thoughts so sincere, so seriously spoken. The silence by the paddle ' s light dip scarcely broken. — F. L Nature L Did you never in the springtime Stand upon the college hill. When the birds sing in the treetops And old nature shows her skill. When the valley is all golden In the melting summer light ? Did you read the truth there written ? Did you read it there aright? II. All this land with beauty fashioned. All the blue and distant hills. All the sounds that to us harking. Seem to grow more wondrous still ; These, all these Avere placed here for us. For our present, woe or weal. As equipment in our struggles On this troublous battlefield. — C. S. H 132 On New Year ' s eve, before the fire, So cosy like and warm, Stretched out upon a couch I lay, My head upon my arm. I drea.med a dream and I believe None ever dreamed more queer. I dreamed that ev ' rything must turn To opposite this year. The day was changed around tonight ; The darkness was the light; The earth was blue, the sky was green, And blackest things were white. The moon went backward round the earth ' Twas full when it began, And what was strange about it, too, A woma.n was the man. The fire was just as cold as ice And ice was hot as fire ; And when one wanted to cool ofif. He put on more attire. The water wasn ' t wet at all; It into dust would rub ; But stepping on the land was like A falling in a tub. And one thing very strange I thought, ' Twas upside down again. And that wa,s ' bout the courting ; for The women courted men. And as I traveled o ' er the world. Saw ev ' ry thing ' s new fate. At last I came to Denison, About it ni relate. The Sem., with all its campus, was Moved on the hill from town And ev ' ry thing that was up there. Of course, had been moved down. The boys had all been changed to Profs. The Profs were changed to boys — (My ! just to see those old boys smeared Would bring a world of joys.) 133 Reciting was all changed about ; The absent answered here ! And even if a fellow flunked It counted as a smear. The Seniors, they were all sub-Preps, The Sophs and Junior men Went into Prepdom and the Preps Came into college men. The Sem girls all were chaperones. They watched their teachers so They wouldn ' t scheme and flirt around With handsome boys, you know. The boys were wearing petticoats ; The girls — right here I woke And tumbled head first on the floor With nose about half broke. But I don ' t wonder that my dream Was upside down, do you? For well, I guess I must have been Turned topsy-turvy, too. The Valentine Party I got a bid to a Walentine party las ' Friday nite at King Hall, so I end-ferended my las ' Sunday ' s kufifs and went. It wuz the warmest thing I ever got knext too. I touched the buttin an ' a fairy all togged owt in lace and white flubdubs showed me whare to hang up my cote an ' hat. An ' then they got me onto a string. They wuz a hole lot of um rite at the dore and yu had to chuze won of um an winder up til yu kem to the end of it. Well, they wuz about steen miles of it an ' wen I got dun thare waz a little role of papper like a diplomy an ' wen I unrolled it, thare wuz a picture drawed of the prittiest little bird that ever wor specs an ' had a snub noz you wanted to pinch . O, she wuz a beaut, ves-pockit siz. Ev ' body else was doin ' the same thing an ' we all got paired of¥ and stood round chinnin each other. They wuz won gurl what didn ' t fall onto the frat pin she wanted, and so she got balky, and not even sayin ' good nite, she went off and sulked. She wuz kinda short skate. Sheull find out sum day that a complexshun aint the only thing in the wurld that a feller likes. After a while I kum to out of the daze from the first bio of the thing an ' begun to see whut wuz all round me. The sealin wuz one mas a harts, red wunz hung on strings like the injuns used to hang skalps to a pole. Them gurls must a ben on the war path a long while to get that meny. An ' then they wuz little babby like fellers hangin ' round, two. They call um Qupidz and they ' s a story that wen a feller falls in love with a gurl its becuz one of theze little Qupidz has shot a narrer 134 into yer hart. The real ones zinvisibul and I bet my Sunday pie they wuz a lot of um doin ' a big bizness that nite. One of the fust things I seen was Bill SprouU sittin ' on a lot of kushuns in a winder with a gurl, and jus then they passed round papper and yu had to write sum potry bout bein in love with a gurl and wantin ' to marry her. Bill tuk the papper, looked kind a longin ' inter her eyes fer a minit and then rote it rite off without stoppin ' : — Darlin ' dear, you ' ve killed me dead, With those love lamps in your head. What ' s the use t write of it? So I ' ll stop right here and quit. Then he begun talkin ' to her, but I didun ' t hear what he said, but I bet he kan say them kind of things bettern he kan rite um. Bill ' s sumpin of a pote to. Lee Leahy was rite in it an ' jus as much at home zif he wuz playin ' quarter and slamin ' the ball back to the hafs. He sez : Your hair is brown ; your eyes are brown ; ■ I love you, dear, from sole to crown. So tell me now that you ' ll be mine, And let me be your valentine. Heiney Kolby aint much on metre ner nothin ' like that, but he kin say what he wants ter all rite. He rote his gurl : Blue eyes and dark hair, As you sit there in the chair, Sipping green tea I adore thee. Short Huffman kudn ' t rite nothin ' . Sumbody sed he wuz two full fer utrance. I didun ' t get onto the drift of that remark, but env way, he didunt rite nothin ' . John Hislop must a ben short a cash fer he rit : Roses are red and violets are blue. Sugar is sweet and so are you. But, O, dear girl, love ' s cruel blot, Sugar is cheap, but you are not. Then they wuz a kupole of girls stood on the stares and red um all out loud and then they give a prize fer the won what wuz the best. It was rit by George Hartshorn and Miss Beattie. He dra.wed a hart up in the korner with a narrow thru it and bind a drippin ' out and it said : TO MY VALENTINE. I can say a lot about this hall When trimmed with hearts red. But when it comes to my love for vou 135 I leave so much unsaid. But I wish as I am sitting here, Trying to make a rhyme, That you would only smile on me. And be my valentine. It was sined by both of um, but it ' s a sinch that Hartshorn rote it all an ' Miss Beattie only indorsed it. Well that ended the first round an ' I begun to get onto the game. It wuz understood by the gurls th,a.t if the won what had you the first round didunt land yu in the time limit, then another wuz to try yu for the secund round, after you wuz a little groggy. So they lined us up to shute at some harts with a bo an narrer. The harts all had names on the back of ' em. Guy Jonsey jus naturally poked a hole clean thru Miss Adkinzes. That wuz becuz it wuz so tender, 1 gess. There is a feller what blushes a hole lot and they call him Qupid Hall. Evbody xpected him to be an xpurt, but he didn ' t do nothin ' . Bynby the arrer cdunt stan ' the strane eny longer and busted. It wuz becuz so meny of the harts was so hard that it wuz like shootin ' genst the side of a war ship. Then all the fellers run up and just tuk one by chanct and Good Hair Miller had fate with him and- got Miss Parrish, first dash out the box. They say weddin ' s is maid in heven and I believe it. You waz speckted to go out and get sum grub in a little rume of¥ to won side a.nd wen we went out, there was Miss King dishin ' up platesful of wafers and sandwiches and a kup of koko, with a mugful of smiles. The koko and sanwiches wuzunt bad, but that wuzunt the reezon I ast fer a secund divy. If enybody asts you, you tell um the King Hall gurls is birds. They wear their wings hid, but they got um. An ' if you ever get the chanst to go there to a walentine party you ' d better do it. 136 Diary of A Freshman Tuesday, Scpiciiibcr lo — Entrance upon college life marks a period in one ' s experience as impressive as it is grand and important, and I am going to keep a full and complete record of the daily happenings, the grand expansions of my mind, and the ackwisition of great truths and other things. Today I stepped out of the rush and hurry of a wicked, coarse world into the quiet refinement and classic envirenmeant of Denison. I met a fellow named George Lewis first. I believe he took me for an easy mark. He was altogether too kind, and I don ' t trust him. I ' ll watch him close so that he can ' t play any tricks on me. He ' s smooth, but I ' ll show him I ' m smoother. Wednesday, Scpteviber ii — Lewis still hangs round and bows and scrapes and rubs his hands and smiles so awfully polite that I believe he is making fun of me. Prof. J. L. Gilpatrick examined me today so that I can take what they call Freshman A. The profifessor smiled so nice and asked about the folks at home, and I like him, and expect to learn a great deal about the deep and majestic and sublime laws and truths of mathematics that lie at the basis of all the harmony of a. beneficent nature. Thursday, September 12 — Today the bell rung and we all went to chapel. Prof. Gilpatrick was boss and told all about registering, and so did Prof. Richard S. Colwell. There are lots of pretty girls, but they all sit away off at one side of the room. Tomorrow we go to class. Chemistry, 7:40; Algebra, 11; French at 1:30, and English on Friday at 2:30. Friday, September jj — College life is lots of fun. No recitations today, , but the Profs, just talked and told what to take Monday. I went to the Philo tonight. They were all girls and there was ' one who sang a solo about Go Pretty Rose. A fellow named Ashbrook introduced me to her a.nd afterwards told me that we can call on Sat- urdays if we write to the girl and she says yes. It ' s too late to go to- morrow. She lives in King Hall and her name is (well I ' ll just put the initial for fear some one sees this book). It ' s K. I wish I was Ashbrook. He knows all the girls. Saturday, September 14 — I thought all a student had to do on Sat- urday was to have fun, but I ' ve studied all morning on my Freshman 137 A and don ' t know it yet. Six hours is enough and if Prof. Gil don ' t hke it, he can lump it. In the afternoon I studied two hours on my French and Chemistry and then went out to foot ball practice. Holste (that ' s the coach) asked me what I had a head piece for and said if I didn ' t move quicker he would root me one in the tail. I never heard that kind of talk before, but I knew what he meant. Foot ball is a fine game. But even if Algebra is so sublime and grand a study, I believe I could get .along first rate without it. Fm sore al l over and sleepy, so I guess Fll go to bed. Sunday, September 15 — We had stewed chicken and mashed pota- toes and chocolate pie and other things for dinner. I saw Miss K. at church ; she sings in the chou . There is a pretty nice teacher from the Sem. who teaches a Sunday school class. She ' s real jolly and Fll join if I can. Wrote letters home today. Fm not homesick. It would be nice to see Mary and take a walk with her like I did last Sunday night at sun down. Things taste good at the Eating Club, but I would like to have a piece of mother ' s pumpkin pie. I don ' t know anybody very well. I wonder if a fellow can ' t go home sometimes over Saturday and Sunday. It ' s 101 days till Christmas. Monday, September 16 — Flunked in Algebra today and busted two test tubes in Chemistry. Kib (that ' s the French Prof.) taught us how to grunt four dif¥erent ways. Tuesday, September — Wrote Miss K. today and a.sked if I could call Saturday. Tried to recite in Algebra and they all laughed at me and Gil. said if I kept on that way he would give me a grade of minus infinity cubed. I guess that ' s pretty high. Wednesday, September 18 — Went to the postoffice three times. There was nothing for me. Thursday, September ig — Got a note from Miss K. at noon today. She said she regretted very much that she had a previous engagement for Saturday afternoon. I saw her today on the street and I don ' t believe she is cjuite so pretty as she was the night she sung. Friday, September 20 — While I was studying, Gengnagle called my name and when I stuck my head out of the window just then some one above happened to be throwing a basin of water out and it soaked my head and collar. Of course Gengnagle was mad that the fellow above should be so careless. Throwing waste water out of the window ought to be stopped. Saturday, September 21 — Our class is pretty fine. We ' re going to show the Sophs a thing or two before long. Sunday, September 22 — Miss K. laughed at me in church today. I believe she was telling how I asked to call and she turned me down. I don ' t care. There are others just as pretty. Monday, September 2j — That date won ' t do, for it ' s 2 :30 in the morning. We just finished putting up our flag pole behind the Gym. The Sophs will never get it. It ' s a wallnut pole forty feet high and we skinned all the bark of¥ and greased it with lard. They can ' t get it. It floated up against the starlit sky in all its beauty. It ' ll stay there till the wind whips it into streamers. Rah for ' 05. Tuesday, September 24. — Dog gone it. Fm all mosquito bit. The 138 darn Sophs tied me down in the woods and I sat with my back to a tree and was a regular picnic for the mosquitos while the Sophs pulled down our pole a.nd got the flag. It wasn ' t fair, because the judges let them use knives to cut string to tie us and wouldn ' t let us use knives to cut each other loose. I don ' t believe I ' ll write any more in this book.

Somebody ' s courage beneath that belt. Somebody else those aches has felt. Somebody el.se liits the ground with a thud. Somebody else gets his face in the mud. Somebody else now ploughs through the line. Somebody else with glory does shine: This now is not mine. Somebody else digs those cleats in the diit. Somebody else sheds his blood on my shirt. Somebody else determines ' T must. Somebody else I ' ll do it or bust. For somebody else those handkerchiefs wave. O ' er somebody else the pretty girls rave. For somebody else the timers call time. These now are departed, and now are lang syne: These now are not mine. 140 Octameron Denisoniensis The Adytum, following the lead of the recently published House Party, presents the following poems by members of the faculty of Deni- son University. All were asked to contribute and but eight responded. On the receipt of one dollar, you will be entitled to guess as to the au- thorship of the poems. The first one who is successful in naming the authors will receive a copy of this year ' s Adytum, as will everyone who encloses the dollar. Prizes for all. Try your skill at judging of author- ship from internal evidence: I am a little maiden with large and lustrous eyes ; I fill my Chair quite well for one of so small size. My features are of classic mold, with Grecian upturned nose, A Grecian knot of hair, gives me a classic pose, And as I fill a classic Chair and teach a classic tongue My fame, in classic verse, is herein feebly sung. Down by the river. There would I ever The day ' s long hours pass. For now Pm inclined To bring fishing to mind, As the suckers I catch in class. Beware of my frown and long for my smile, For my hatred and love both last a long while. Beware of my fist for it strikes a strong blow. Beware of my tongue and its lashing also. Though my head is now grey, my arm is still strong. Give ear to my words, for Pm never wrong. La langue de Frangais I teachercher, And grunt four vowels Each a different way. In la salle de classe It comes to pass, I speak as nice As une belle lass. Les eleves, they say. Both, Si vous plai ' t, And then again Repondez en Frangais. 141 The English came to Britain in 449, And 1043 was the Confessor ' s time. In lOfiG Harold was the king. In l(i()3 Elizabeth took wing, And Stuarts took the throne. In 1653 Cromwell reigned alone. Just have a little book And dates like these there set. Learn nothing else but dates, A grade quite high you ' ll get. The future holds the fondest hopes. And visions brightest and the best, As now I gaze upon life ' s upward slopes. And see my — upon its nearing crest. Why should I blush to speak his name Or fear to own him mine. When soon he ' ll whisper in mv ear, Now, dearest, I am thine ? Speed happy day with all thy joys. ! Come quickly, come with wings. Come with thy perfect bliss and peace. And all the joys imagination sings. So swat it hard, my boy. For noise is eloquence. And what avails true worth When blufif can take its place? The ways of life are strange and dark, And, he whoi seeks to find a path Must, by the brightness of himself, illume the way. Thus do I, and mark me well. For who of all the Profs, of Denison Is equal unto me? Do ' thou but take the word I give. And get it out within thy room. Majestic sweetness sits enthroned upon my m.arble brow, nd from my lips sweet honey drips, like milk from out a cow. I strut and roar and stamp the floor and then I make my bow ; Though no one knows the thought I have, it ' s fine, they must allow. 142 QiPs Grading flethods SCENE 75. (Curtain Rises.) Gil discovered sitting at his desk with his grade book, a target pistol and a pile of arrows. On the blackboard before him is a target ; the bulls-eye is marked 100 and the outer circles 90, 80, etc. Gil fixes an arrow in the pistol and glances at the class-roll. Talks to himself. Humph — Pond — well ! (Fires the pistol. Shot strikes the sixty mark.) Sixty — that ' s pretty high for Pond, but I guess Til give it to him anyway. I lik e to see a boy pass in at least one studv while he ' s on the hill. (Glances at the grade-book again.) Who ' s next? Van Voorhis? The rascal — helped steal my pig. I ' ll fix him. (Shoots in direction of target. Arrow strikes the thirty mark.) And I won ' t give him a bit more. Let ' s see, who comes now? What! Davis? He helped steal my pig, too. He ' s the lad got me that rub about those infernal Pasquins. (Arrow strikes the forty mark.) That ' ll fix him. Well! Well! Here ' s Orcutt, mamma ' s baby boy (arrow strikes fifty mark) and he ' s my assistant in Sunday school. I ' ll have to do better by him. (Puts down 90 for Orcutt.) Fay Marlowe ' s next (arrow strikes 55) and I won ' t give her any more. She wore a sweater to class and T won ' t have anybody wearing a sweater in my class. I just won ' t. I ' ll flunk them every time. (A sudden crash is heard and the curtain falls in the midst of the scene.) A11 the preceeding scenes are simplv variations of this. 1° Gill is a notoriously bad marksman. He has never succeeded in hitting the bulls-eye in all his experience.

Neighbor — Does the baby suf¥er from sleeplessness. Billy B. (hollow eyed) — No, not a bit; it seems to enjoy it. Sproull (In October) — I ' ll pass under Willie or bust. Sproull (In January) — Busted, by thunder, 144 Swipes ' Illustrated Lecture On the Two Ways Scene — Swipes ' room just as the chapel bell rings. Gentlemen, you need not leave the room now, as I have a few remarks to make which will be more profitable to you than your usual worship at this hour. You have ' ■ ' cently left your bright and happy homes where you have been taught to tread the narrow way. Ah ! the time when a young- man leaves home is a time of danger. Little does he think of the dangers which lie in his way. The sun shines upon the rippling waves of the sea of pleasure, in which the graceful swans mirror thei snowv plumage; the winds make music, and the sea birds llap their jovful wings in the pure air. But the narrow path which he treads is at the brink of a terrible clifif and a single misstep will land his bruised bodv on the rocks or in the waves below. (Two Preps weep and the joints of the chairs creak with their trembling. ) Let me illustrate it to you. (And he draws the picture which we ha.ve on the opposite page, talking as he draws.) Now you have come to the parting of the ways. Keep to the narrow way. It is beset with difficulties and it is up hill, but it leads to the golden steps of the celestial city, where angel hands await to help you into the golden streets and jasper walls. (One little Methodist mumbles a fervent amen.) The easy road has its attractions. Its broad, smooth path leads downward where you will soon find the devil enticing you onward. He will suggest to you that the road is much more easily traveled on horseback. And he who mounts a pony, but hastens his speed to hell. Beware of the Hines and Noble company. Turn back before it is too late. (One fearful Prep, advances, drawing an interlinear from his pocket and deposits it on the desk.) There are those who start upon the Easy Road, but would en- deavor to climb back upon the heavenlv way. Woe is to them, for all their efforts fail; their plans miscarry and they land in hell along with the rest, where the devil is ready, pitchfork in hanrl and everything sizzling hot. Get it out in your room, for hell and its horrors await the man who rides a pony. 117 Correspondence Granville, Ohio, March 20.

I cannot move ; a heavy weight Holds me down like cruel fate. The devil prods me with his spear; My flesh now creeps with awful fear. For clearer in the murky light The vision grows upon my sight, And clea.rer vet the features grow, Until the face of Swipes they show. And terror now has reached its bounds. A fearful shriek aloud resounds.

The authors have treated the subject in a most charming manner, and have even added circumstance., from their own personal experience for the benefit of the reader. Chapel bucking is advised as an aid to flirtation. At this delightful period cjuiet descends upon the clia[ ti Hill ; all those awful boys are absent and the silence is broken only by the hoarse croak of Dick ' s grand solo grating o ' er the airy zephyrs. Ihis, then, is the ideal time for sparking. Charles Lampson, of Toledo, says : I have read the book and con- sider it a masterpiece in modern literature. The methods are thoroughly reliable, , . ' How TO Scheme, by E. S. Ashbrook. Mr. Aslibrook is certainly well fitted to write such a work. He is an extremely conservative person in the realm of literature and never makes a statement the truth of which he has not abundantly tested. The book deals with fact. There is not a citizen of Granville or Pataskala who is not willing to certify to the actual occurrence of every circumstance mentioned. Mr. Ashbrook ad- vocates scheming upon the streets of the town in order to escape all excessive comment. The young lady should walk down one side of the business block, the young gent leman down the other ; the two should meet in front of the postofiiee in order to attract as little attention as possible. They should then walk up and down every street in succession and finally part lovingly on some shady corner. Mr. Ed Cherney, of Cleveland, is a great admirer of the above work. Mr. Cherney sighs, however, For the green lanes of the country. For further information address, W. H. Johnson, Granville, Ohio. Why I Joined a My TRiMONiAL Agency, By O. R. O Farel. This is the book for the bachelor or the pessimist, but it is full of spirit and fun and makes pleasant company for one ' s leisure hours. It treats of the snares and pitfalls that entrap ' the feet of unwary vouth. It tells how fo avoid them. Young man, join a matrimonial agencv, it thunders. Don ' t let a bad business hang long on your hands. There you may possibly (?) find your ideal, be she short, long, stout or squint-eyed. Mr. Farel ' s experience in this line is wide and varied. The book ' is as enchanting as his smile. Floward Olmsted greatly admires the work. He is, however, even more pessimistic than Mr. Farel. Instead of taking anybodv and so fulfilling natural law and getting a bad business over w ' ith, he would lake nobody and live happily forever after. Says Olmsted, ' o women! get ye out of mv sight. For further information address Skin Jones, Granville, Ohio. 162 Snipe Hunting, by Clifif Powers. This is the book for the sports- man. It telletli how snipe are hunted in distant Arabia. i Ir Powers narrates an adventure of liis own. He says : Then certain sons of Belial girded up their loins and took me down by the way that goeth to the Red Sea. And darkness encompassed us round about. Soon came ' e to a stream that runneth through the Aers allee. Then thev gave me a gunnysack and stood me ni the midst thereof, saying unto me : ' We go to drive down the snipe. Stand thou here and ensnare them. Then I stood And the night waned until it came even to the cock crowing and the day began to break. lUit no snipe came. Then arose 1 sore in body and mmd and returned to the city of the prophet and hunted snipe no more tor further particulars address Clay ' an oorhis, Newark, ( ). Prof. Herrick had written a pamphlet on The Peripheral Nervous ' - l ishes, and Prof. Coggins took it down to his Old irisli friend, Dmny Gewgan, a great fisherman, to ask him some questions about it. The interview, about as follows, appeared in the A ' ew York Sun ; Dinny said: Who writ the book? A man named Herrick, Prof. Plerrick. Av coorse, said Dinny heartily. I know urn well. He used to wave a shtick m front av the orchestry at the Shtar The-aytre Thot ' s how he s a profiiser. So becuz he belongs to a Sout ' Brooklyn tishin ' Club he thinks he ca.n write a book about ut. The consate of the baste i He dunno th difTerence bechune a sand worm and a lead sinker What does he say ? The title of the book, said Prof. Coggins, is ' The Peripheral Nervous System of the Bony Fishes. ' Saints difind us, John ' , ' said Dinny, with his eves wide What language is thot, I dunno. Skip ahll av thim worruds wit ' joints in thim i hey hurt me ears. VVell, how ' s this? ' The common silverside Mcnidia, so abundant a bout Woods Holl and other points along the Atlantic coast, was chosen as the first type to be examined. These little fishes stand about midway between the physostomous and physoclystous types of fishes and may be regarded as a relatively simple generalized form. _ May I be skint fer a ncel av I don ' t belave the mon had oug-ht t be arristed. What ' s the matter, Dinny? Don ' t you understand it asked Prof. Coggins. Av coorse I understand ut, said Dinny, angrily Pie ' s talkin ' about porgies an ' he ' s kafoozled on his facts. ' ' Probably it will straighten out later on, said the profes or I ' ve lost my place with all those hard words. Oh, here we are: ' Thoucrh the organs of special sense (eye and e,a.r) are very highly developed ' — Hould on! shouted Dinny. Rade that agin. Ove an ' what ' ' Eye and ear, repeated the reader. ' John, av ever I caught a fish wit ears on um, I ' d take the Father Matthew pledge that day. Sure Herrick has got barnycles on h:, brain. o . 163 ' Moreover, the nervous system of the family Atherinidse has not before been examined even by gross dissection, and several points have been brought out in the topography which are either new for teleosts or shed light on vexed morphological cpiestions, such as the discovery of a pre-trematic branch of the facial nerve, a ramus ophthalmicus profundus of the trigeminus, and a true spinal accessory nerve emerg- ing with the vagus to supply the trapezius muscle. ' Count tin, Johnny, said Dinny, faintly, I ' m near out. I ' m onto that felly Herrick. I know what ails um. He ' s ate a dickshinary, an ' it made um seasick. Well, here ' s something about the acoustico-lateral system, said the professor trying the next page. Acushla machru ; faugh-a-ballaugh, cried Dinny. He ' s takin ' to the Irish langwidge in his confusion. He gets out of it again, then. How ' s this? ' The facial nerve contains viscero-motor, communis and lateralis fibres. The communis fibres form the whole of the pre-auditory fasciculus communis, are provided with a special ganglion. ' Shtop there! I hov a bite! Ganglion; ganglion. Thot ' s wan of them hooks thot grows in families. I know um. No dacent mon wud use um on a tommy cod. Nivetheless, I ' m gettin ' onto his service. Toss me out another. The ventral lateralis root has a separate ganglion (Dinny nodded) and supplies organs of the opercular and mendibular canals via the truncus hyomandibularis. Wherro, cried Dinny, thot was a soaker. Is thot a rale worrud or did vez bite yer tongue? John, you take my worrud fer it. A felly thot wud write such langwidge as thot Herrick wus niver a fisherman. You cud give him a barrel av bait an ' a shtore full av lines an ' hooks an trapshins an ' lave him in th ' middle av th ' acquarium fer a week an ' when he kem out there wouldn ' t be as much as the shmell av fiish onto his hands. We will now unmix our confused mintal processhes wit ' a little ale. Joe, did you ever find anny hyoniandibulars or mediscineras in th ' ale here? I never did, Dinny, said the steward. You swa.lly enough av it, Joe, said Dinny, an ' you cud write a book nigh as bad as thot yourself. Drink hearty. 164 Advertisements Without our advertisers the Adytum would be a failure.
