Hick Ruth Drake Greeting Immortal muse, tvhose bounty doth impart The gift of song divine, the poet ' s art, ' before thy shrine oft sung in ancient lore We boiv. With reverence humbly we implore That thou ivith magic touch attune thv lyre. Within our frail breasts thy poTver inspire That ive in fitting ivords may celebrate The deeds of mighty heroes famed and great. To thee, kind reader, bring lue greetings noiv. Good cheer be thine, may pleasures gird thy broTV.

Of joys and youthful struggles that ivere thine In good old college days of auld lang syne. — W. The Year .nd its Fruits Who has not heard the proverbial, reminiscent old settler, as he glories in the great deeds of long, long ago? Who has not known old college chums, meeting after a long period of separation, who delight to renew their happy, careless youth by stories of the adventure and endeavor of old college days ? Who of us when the years have fled, when manhood and womanhood and the cares of life have cast over college days and college nights the golden glow of memory — who of us will not delight to linger in revery over these days and years and all that makes _ the daily round of college life? Then will we be proud to re- member the year 1902-1903 as one in which our Alma Mater pressed forward to new and greater achievements. College spirit, so intangible yet so essential and potent in all college life, has flourished as never before. There is no de- partment but has felt its impulse, no student enterprise which has failed to feel its quickening power. Alma Matriotism in its truest and best sense is constantly growing as a vital reality in the life of Denison. The year in Athletics is one that every student will long re- member with pride. The varsity base ball team of 1902 eclipsed the record of the immortals of ' 90- ' 9i both in the quality and quantity of its work. Football, though never Denison ' s boast, bids fair to rival baseball in popularity and success. The 1902 eleven gave Denison the best foot ball it ever had. Beaver Field, though not yet fully improved, is now doing good ser- vice toward popularizing and strengthening athletics. With its efficient coach and abundance of material, the 1903 base ball team is most auspiciously beginning its season. Another feature of student life which deserves mention here is the fraternity house idea — one in which Denison ranks with 5 the first, all her chapters being housed in spacious and elegant homes owned by the respective fraternities. In no branch of college life is college spirit more actively at work to-day than in literary work. A spirited contest with thirteen contestants, a most excellent showing in the State con- test, the active steps now being taken toward the formation of a strong debating league with three other colleges of high rank, the awakening interest in the literary societies, and the strong work done in our department of oratory— all these speak louder than words. The work of the Conservatory has been greatly strengthened by the installation of a beautiful new pipe organ, so generously placed in Recital Hall by a man whose name is so well known and loved at Denison, Dr. W. H. Doane. We are glad, too, to extend a most hearty welcome to Mr. Frederick Cluff, the skillful organist, efficient teacher and genial friend, as we have found him. Miss Sara Edna Stranathan has returned to add by her charming personality and rare talents to the musical life of the school. As Miss Stranathan is a product of our Con- servatory, we take especial pride and pleasure in seeing he r one of its faculty. Other new faces beam upon us from the chapel rostrum. Miss Nellie Montgomery has brought to us a delightful per- sonality and exceptional ability as a teacher. She has already found so large a place in our college life that it is scarcely necessary to extend to her a welcome here. Our old friend, Karl Burrer, for years a well known and popular figure in class, athletic, scientific and Y. M. C. A. circles, is now exerting an increasing influence as instructor in Mathematics. Our joy in welcoming these new faces is accompanied bv regret for the loss of Prof. W. H. Boughton, who has left us ' to accept a chair of Engineering at West Virginia. Denison owes much to him. for it was he who gave to her a department of Engineering second to no non-professional college in the country. May success at- tend him in his new field of usefulness. The fame of Denison has been spread al:.road this year by the work of her glee and mandolin clubs, the latter a new but (i strong organization. During the trip through Northern Ohio great loads of Denison spirit were spread abroad to the great credit of the University. And now, above all else, our thoughts turn to the much applauded and munificent offer of John D. Rockefeller to add one dollar to every dollar raised among the friends of Denison before January i, 1904. Who can measure the effect upon the University of seeing $125,000 expended for buildings within the near future? This would mean the fulfillment of hopes and ambitions which we have scarcely dared to entertain. With every shoulder to the wheel, eveiy son and daughter filled with ambition for their Alma Mater, every tongue inspired with the spirit of an abundant life, may we not well join in a round of Heikes until valley, stream, meadow and hill unite in re-echoing the praises of old Denison.

MeTz, B. hit., X A, Euterpe. ' ' Le( us, let all the world a ree, To profit by resembling thee. In finishing her course at Denison, Miss Metz leaves behind a host of friends. Miss Metz has been active in literary circles throughout her course, being a valued member of the Deni. ' ionian staff and of the Adytum board in li)02. She has won a deserved popularity socially and has, by her genial disposition, unfailing good judgment and thoroughly good work, won for herself a most en- viable place in the esteem of the entire faculty and student body. EI.MER Maurice Jones, B. S., Calliope. A bold, bad man. Jones is a man of varied talents. He is a musi- cian of some reputation, playing in the college or- chestra and in the mandolin and guitar club. He is also well known as an artist, contributing much work to the 1902 Adytum. Jones won the prize for the best set of sketches for the Adytum this year. Jones shines in many lines and the class is glad to have him in its number. Hugh Robert Hick, B. S., B A A, Franklin. He zvas a very parfit, gentle knight. When Hick entered school, he decided that the class of 1904 was best suited to his taste, but, after more thorough investigation of the subject, he be- gan to endeavor to free himself of ' 04 ' s fetters and this year donned the cap and gown. This year he has had charge of the Y. M. C. A. lecture course and has handled it well. In connection with his Senior dignities, he has assisted the class of ' 04 materially in the publication of their Adytum. Mary Celia Fulton, B. S., Philomathean. This, then, is the proof of a well-trained mind. The class of ' 03 has enjoyed Miss Fulton ' s hospi- tality once too often to be unaware of the location of her beautiful country home, a short distance from Newark. Her grace as a hostess is also too well known to require comment, but added to this characteristic she possesses a fund of energy and common sense and is a conscientious student. 26 S. Guy Jones, B. S., r A i f had a face like a benediction ' ' ' ' Guy is one of the most popular men in the class. He is especially well known as a football player, having played on the team for four years and serving two years as captain. Jones is a shining light, his auburn locks adding not a little to the roseate hue of his countenance. He has a very sunny disposition and makes friends with every- body. Guy is a good student and is generally liked by professors and students. Ali.an Nichoi s Nettleman, a. B., B a a ' • ' Behold the child by nature s kindly laiv Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a strawy Nettleman and Prexy both hail from Toledo. It must have been a hard blow to the northern city to lose two such illustrious citizens at so nearly the same time. Nettleman has shone in many ways, on the Adytum board last year, in his classes and as manager of last season ' s foot ball team. He had the honor of being the first attraction on the Senior Exhibition course this year. Ceara Louise MacDonaed, A. B., Philomathean My book and heart must never part. ' Miss MacDonald is a Newark girl, having grad- uated from the Newark High School in ' 99 with the highest honors of her class. She expects to teach, but should she decide to turn her attention to things literary, we prophesy for her a brilliant future. A careful, painstaking student, and a cheery comrade she has ever proved herself to be. DONAED HUSTED POWERS, B. S., B 9 11 The crozv doth sing as sweetly y Powers, as everyone knows, is from Norwalk where they have several rubber tired cabs and automobiles. He has been prominent in college life since he entered school in 1899. In his first year, he attended a hydrant party given by some of his friends on the hill, and has never forgotten the enjoyment of that evening. Powers is a mem- ber of the glee club and of the mandolin and guitar club, and is a star in college minstrelsy. 27 Dora Moore, Ph. B., Philomathean ' I hear, yet say not much, but think the more. ' ' ' Miss Moore was in Denison during the years of 1899 and ]9(J0, but spent the following year at home. Hearing, however, of the far-famed class of ' 03, ambition got the better of her and she returned to add her name to its illustrious roll. Miss Moore, though small in statute is short in nothing else. As a student and as a bright, energetic worker, she has won a valued place among students and teachers. WiLLARD A. Zimmerman, B. S., Franklin ' ■ ' Surely mortal ma9i is a broom-stick. Zimmerman stands higher than any other man in the class. Everyone knows Zim and appreci- ates him. Though he has not seemed active in college life, yet he has in many ways done much for the school, his class and his society. He has done steady, faithful work, and that is the kind which will count. He is a man whom all look up to and admire. WiHiAM HaslETTE Sproull, Ph. B., S X God made but one casting from this mould. One ivas etiough. ' ' Billy came to us from the University of Cin- cinnati at the beginning of his Sophomore year. All through his college course he has shown him- self a diligent and industrious student. He has always been a favorite with the professors. He has been prominent on the gridiron, playing a good steady game. He is very popular with the ladies — in fact he has been termed the King of the Heart Crushers. Jessie Am.anda King, B. Lit., K , Euterpe Unknown to her the rigid rules The dull restraint, the chiding frown. ' ' ' ' Miss King leaves Denison this June after having made it her college home for six years. So young was she, when entering college that she was most anxiously watched over by the kindly members of the Shepardson Faculty, who are still earnestly solicitous of all her movements. In the years she has spent at Denison, Miss King has added much to the social life of the college, and as a jolly comrade, a merry companion and a warm friend, she will be greatly missed by all. 28 Edwin Coxe Roberts, A. B., Ben. IV iy should I blush to own I love? ' Coxey, as he is commonly known, has lived in Granville the best part of his life, and, having seen so many illustrious classes in his time, he knew how to choose his class well. Roberts is a singer of ability, a foot ball player of merit, a scholar of repute, and deserves all the praise he receives. His success in life is due to his motto, which he has faithfully followed — Have faith and fear no defeat. ' ' Harry B. Gengnagei,, A. B., B A A. ' ■ God made him, therefore let him pass for a many Gengnagel is a graduate of the Steele High School of Dayton and has been with the class since the fall of 1899. He is small in stature, yet he gets there very often just the same. Harry escaped the horrors of the Senior Circus by entering the ora- torical contest, in which he won an enviable posi- tion. He has always been a good student and a worthy member of the class. Walter IvERoy Flory, B. L., B e n, Franklin. Then he will talk— good gods! how he will talk! ' ' ' In the first place, Flory came from Newark. This was very unfortunate for him, but, with his characteristic spirit, he has overcome all the ill effects of this misfortune and now holds a high pldce in the college. Flory is now in his second year as one of the editors of the Denisonian. He served his class as president in the Junior year, and in other minor ofBces. Flory is a good fellow and the class is proud to claim him. Rachel Hartshorn Colwell, B. S., Euterpe. There is a certain something in your looks certain scholar-like and studious somet ii?ig You understand — which cannot be mistaken. As general adviser and supervisor of the classs Miss Colwell holds undisputed sway. In all matter, in which practical common sense and good judg- ment are needed, she is invariably the one con- sulted. Her experience is ripe, her knowledge phenominal. Miss Colwell contemplates a journey abroad this summer, but beyond that her future is uncertain. 29 Howard Edward Flanagan, A. B., J ' r A. Calliope. Every one is as God made him, And often times a great deal zvorse. ' ' Flanagan is president of the class this year, and would have been toast-master at the 1903 Washing- ton Banquet had there been one. However, he is a very modest sort of fellow and was glad to be re- lieved of such a duty. He has shone chiefly in the athletic arena. He is captain of this year ' s base ball team. He served as president of the Oratori- cal Association the past year and has been chosen as Calliope ' s debater in the Lewis contest. Irving Angei l Field, B. S., B A a. Franklin, aw not in the roll of common meny Irving ' s fame rests chiefly on his knowledge of Ornithology, in which he has taught several classes during his college course. However, in addition to this, Irving lias been faithful to the interests of his class and his society. He was president of Franklin in the winter term and has held other offices at other times with great credit. Sarah Eudocia Drake, A. B., Philomathean. If it is not seemly, do it not! She ' s stately, like yon youthful ash. Miss Drake comes from Bedford, O., but she has graced Denison with her presence for the past six years. She is commonly surnamed Sarah, the Dignified, hut Miss Drake, in common with other dignified people has her moments of relapse. At present she goes about with an abstracted air due to the responsibility renting upon her to sprechen Deutsch three times a day at the Ger- man table. Miss Drake is prominent in all social, literary and Christian organizations of Denison. Frank Bedford Amos, A. B., 2 X, Franklin. ■Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time. Amos arrived in Granville several years ago, fresh from Cambridge. When he struck town his trusty violin was under his arm and it still holds a high place in his affections, which are now some- what divided. Amos is quite a musician, as regu- lar attendants at chapel can testify. He has been honored with the presidencv of the Athletic Asso- ciation and has been prominent in many phases of college life. Amos is very popular, especially with the Shepardson contingent. 30 J RoE Burt, B. S., r a J ' My heart is wax to be moulded as she pleases. ' Burt is an unassuming sort of fellow, yet he is some pumpkins after all. He has taken a com- mendable interest in college doings and has served his alma mater in many ways. In foot ball he has done creditable work. He has served on the Board of Control. With all his other duties, he found time to take an extended course at S hepardson, in a class for two. The registrar reports his grades in this special class as very high and worthy of emu- lation. Daisy Shambaugh, A. B., Philomathean ' ' And if she will, she will, you mav depend on ' t And if she ivonH,she won ' t and that ' s the end on ' t. By her independence, her energy and her un- failing good humor, Miss Shambaugh has made her influence strongly felt in the four years she has been at Denison. A prominent Y. W. C. A. worker, a thorough student, genuinely liked and respected by teachers and students, she stands for the best in college life, and is, in the truest sense, an all-round girl. ' Vinton Ernest Field, A. B., Ben, Franklin ivas not born under a rhyming planet. Field was born in Granville, very early in life so of course he came back here to school. During his college course, he has been prominent in a literary way. He has served for three years on the Denisonian, two years as editor and one as associate. He served on the art staff of the 1902 Adytum and did much creditable work. He has been prominent in Franklin Literary Society serving one term as president. This year he is serving his class as historian. Oren Isaiah Dusthimer, B. S., Calliope ' ' As fine a fellow, as one oft meets, And as handsome as he ' s fine. Dusty is a good fellow and the class is not sorry that he belongs to 11I03. Dusty is not sorry either, for that matter. He is a general favorite. He ranks well in his classes and is im- bued with good Denison spirit. He won fame as an orator at the recent oratorical contest, and thus deprived Prof. Williams of the pleasure of seeing him appear in the Senior Circiis. Dusty is a poet of renown and has contributed good work to the Adytum. 31 Mary Beecher Pai.merton, B. Lit., Euterpe. Virtues hath she 7nany tno ' Than I with pen have skill to shoiv. ' ' Miss Palmerton is a native Granvillian, and is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of our classic college town. She even wears eye-glasses. Her good sense and upright nature have won her many friends, and her record as a student is excellent. Miss Palmerton ' s future, like that of many other members of our youthful but brilliant class, is as yet uncertain. We are still too young to know what the future holds for us. Haroi d Putnam Chaffee, A.B., Ben, Franklin. A lovyer and a lusty bachelor. ' ' Chaffee has not been with us long, but we have already conie to love his round, smiling face. Chaffee is really a ladies ' man, though one would scarcely realize it from his career at Denison. There is at least one, (possibly more), in tht- far west, who appreciates this feature of his character. As chairman of the coach committee, he has done good work this year and has brought honor to himself and the class. Vernice Hunter, B. Lit., Philomathean. « the right place is her heart, And her hand is ready and 7C ' illing. Miss Hunter entered Denison four years ago, and although her course has been somewhat irreg- ular, she has gained the coveted goal — a place among the honored members of the class of ' 03. She is a zealous member of Philo and is actively interested in elocution, being one of the speakers in the preliminary oratorical contest. Miss Hunter will probably teach, but should she ever tire of helping the young ideas to shoot, she can al- ways make use of her greatest accomplishment — dancing. Warren H. Roberts, A. B., Calliope.

Although a child of the old century, it has ever displayed a spirit progres- sive and active enough for the new. September of 1900 saw en- ter Denison as green a Freshman class as usual. We are as proud of it now, as we are frank to confess it, even as Lincoln gloried in his humble birth. To see the class then would scarcely inspire the expectation that it should be the lot of ' 04 to forsake the beaten path of mediocre attainments to make for itself a new standard of honor and achievement. Yet such is the witness of history. The Freshman year saw but the mere unfolding of the gen- ius of the class of ' 04. It cost three hard fought struggles to win the coveted cane. (This fact now constitutes the chief claim of the class of ' 03 to greatness). In the scalping contest honors were evenly shared. On Field Day, however, the young giant, 39 awakening to a full knowledge and control of his power, swept all before him. The beginning of the Sophomore year found the yet uncon- quered class with thinned ranks but strong in its spirit of unity and determination. In the face of apparently overwhelming odds, ' 04 stormed the Freshman stronghold and carried it with an ease which won the applause of friend and foe alike. Dis- heartened by defeat, the Freshmen declined to risk their bruised and bitten honor ( ?) on the gridiron, but essayed to regain pres- tige in baseball. In vain ! Even Cherney, the invincible, fell be- fore the fierce slugging of ' 04 ' s victorious cohorts, and the sun of Sophomoredom went down upon an undefeated class. The Junior year has been characterized by the same spirit of loyalty and harmony which made ' 04 invincible in all class con- tests. Never has the class been lacking in good times. Who will forget the delightful hospitality at Katahden on Febru- ary third, 1902, or the party at the home of Mr. Leahy somewhat later. Early this year Miss Lilian Wyly kindly invited the class to a chestnut hunt at her home. There it was that Harry and another were found looking for chestnuts under an oak tree, while Jim Sam and the chaperon wandered so far astray that a search party had to be organized. At dusk with hay ricks creak- ing under their burden of nuts, the class returned to the Buxton house, where a spread and an evening of games were fully en- joyed. Alas ! In my attempt to do tribute to the greatness of ' 04,. words have failed me and I am filled with the sentiment of him who sang ' Great oaks from little acorns grow, while our friends of ' 03 and ' 05 in their despair are doubtless inspired to- feel that Great aches from little toe corns grow. 40 Officers President Vice-President Ralph B.

If you could but know their history They would rank before the rest; Quality is what they boast of, Quantity is never best. Naught it matters though last winter Trig seemed hard in Prof. Gil ' s class, They have left that all behind them Now their Freshman year is past. Even when the way seemed darkest And — you ' re pumpkins — yelled the Sophs, Even then the) braved the glances Of the ' 04 ' s and the Profs. 46 Talk not of the worthy Senior, Speak not of the Freshman green, Even mention not the Junior, Till you have these Sophomores seen. Every morning you can see them Up in chapel, in their places; You will know them by the earnest Thoughtful look upon their faces. Each one ready for the labors Which the coming day will bring, Each one cheering on his comrades. Hear their voices bravely ring! Never do you find them idle, They are always working — trying This old world of ours to better, And truth ' s flame to keep from dying. 47 Fortune ' s sure to smile upon them, Give them hope for future aims, And you ' ll hear about these Sophomores, — Of their noble deeds and gains. n the Hall of Fame so spacious You will find, if you survive, A great tablet, carved and chiseled By the class of Nineteen Five. Many names of highest merit Will be handed down to fame, Bringing naught but praise and honor To the college whence they came. Vaunting pride is not their failing; Though of talent thej ' ' ve no dearth You will never find them boasting, They seek only modest worth. When their college days are over, — . All their student work and fun, You will find their hearts are loyal And still true to Denison. Even to the end of ages Will their memorj ' survive. Here ' s to you, oh Sophs so hopeful!

It was one of those delightful hazy days of early Autumn. The valleys were covered with a gray mist, and the beautiful Oc- tober foliage massed itself in glowing colors on the distant hill- sides. The banks of the winding stream in the valley below were bordered with golden, swaying willows, as the little river turned here and there in its course, and at last disappeared in the dis- tance. The various tints of Autumn gold and scarlet were every- where. They spread from the stately oaks and maples near at hand, far out and beyond, over the hills and across the fields, reaching even to the lines of the far away horizon. The warm sweet air of summer days lingered, as if loath to leave. Trudging slowly up the hill was a solitary figure. John Keating was a tall, well-built, athletic fellow, and usually walked with an alert and springing step, which told of his splen- did vigor and physique. But to-day he barely crept along, each step seeming more painful than the last. His head was bent over a letter which he held in his hands and studied closely. His face wore a worried look, as for the fourth time he read, — Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 20, 1902. My Dear Son, — For the last time, I will give you another trial. You have thoroughly disappointed me, John, in your Chemistry work. You well know that my greatest wish for you is that you may 62 become a chemist or a physician, as your father and grandfather have been before you. But I really begin to think there is no hope for you, especially after being twice conditioned. Why, John, have you no pride about the matter ? The letter fell from his hand, as John suddenly came to a halt. Have I any pride? he asked himself. A certain amount, perhaps, and yet if father only under- stood how I really feel ! I ' ll never make a physician, or a chem- ist. Skeletons ! Bottles ! And such stuff ! Bah ! It fairly makes me sick. But — and John crushed the letter in his hand, as he exclaimed, — Its get through in chemistry, or bust! And after this final resolve, he started up the hill at a swing- ing pace, his head lowered, his cap pulled down over his eyes, and whistling merrily until, There stood a confused, pretty girl, her brown hair blowing in the wind, a look, half amused, half indignant, on her face, while at her feet were scattered an armful of books and papers. Oh — (Jh — my books ! Please, won ' t you — Pardon me. I ' m afraid I was not looking where I was going, muttered John, greatly embarrassed, as he stooped to pick up the books. The morning breeze began to chase some of the stray papers merrily over the hillside, and so it was some time be- fore they were all restored to their owner. John was out of breath and decidedly red in the face, when he finally returned the last sheet. It was a small piece of Harvard notepaper, cov- ered with closely written chemical formulas. John smiled, as he glanced at it and then at the girl, and said, — This is the last, I believe, but perhaps you do not care for it. It ' s just an odd scrap. Oh, yes, indeed. I ' d rather h ave that little piece than any of the others, for I ' ve been working for about two weeks in the chemistry laboratory, just to get these figures on this scrap of paper. Thank you very much, and she turned and went down the hill. Just as John handed her the paper, his eye caught sight of a name, Margaret Warden, written at one side, and then it was 63 that a sudden thought occurred to him. This was the Miss War- den, of whom he had heard so much, who had made such a fine record in chemistry, and who was a veritable genius in that iine. He watched her for a few moments, as she hurried down the hill, and then said to himself, — Now, as a rule, girls are bores. I don ' t like them, any way you fix them. But here is an exception, I believe. She ' s dif- ferent somehow, rather nice. If only she were not a chemistry fiend! a smaller laboratory, open- It was several weeks later, and John had been working all afternoon with bottles, test-tubes and retorts, and now it was growing dusk. He was alone in the laboratory every afternoon, making up his condition, and formed a class by himself. As he was finishing his work on this particular afternoon, he turned sud- denly, and looked toward the door of ing ofif of the room he occupied. Surely I heard footsteps, he thought to himself. Yes, there it was again, and a faint clink of glass, and then si- lence. John gathered up his things, locked his desk, and, going to the door of the smaller lab- oratory, looked about carefully, but saw no one. The f o 1 1 o wi n g morning after chapel, the chemistry professor stopped John and said,— Keating, I ' ll have to ask you not to touch any of the materials in the smaller laboratorv. I find that some of them have been in- 64 terfered with since yesterday morning, and as you are the only student permitted to work in the laboratory in the afternoon — John was angered and hastily interrupted him, — Professor, I have touched nothing in the smaller labora- tory. My work confines itself strictly to the large room. Very well, Keating, was the answer. On the next afternoon, it was rather late when John stepped outside the chemistry room, and, finding the door partly open, looked in. He would have entered at once, had he not noticed an occupant in the room. Over at a desk in the further corner stood a girl. She was attired in a dark blue chemistry apron, and was working busily, her back turned toward John. She was of medium height, with dark brown hair, and was calmly surveying a dark-colored mixture in a glass beaker, which she held in one hand. But John could not stand there forever, watching her, and painfully holding his breath so as not to startle her. How should he make his presence known ? Before he could answer the question, the figure at the desk broke the silence, without turning around. I hope I am not keeping you from coming in. Well, who in thunder, was John ' s whispered exclamation, as the girl continued, — You see, she began, with her back still turned toward Keating, that my mixture here in this beaker acts as a reflector, and so I saw you come up without turning around. But now, and here she turned, I think I must introduce myself, for I be- lieve we have met before. John looked rather dazed for a moment, and then said, — I hope I may be allowed to introduce myself also, a pleas- ure I rarely enjoy — he added mischievously. A smile hovered about the girl ' s mouth, but she controlled her desire to laugh, as he bowed solemnly and said, — My name is John Maxwell Keating. And mine, she replied with equal gravity, is Margaret Warden. 65 John crossed the room, and laying his hat and books upon a table, turned again and said, — Miss Warden, I am interested to know whether you work here every afternoon. The girl looked at John, and a flush of crimson spread over her face. Then she said slowly, — You work here every afternoon, Mr. Keating, and I wonder whether you have ever seen me here before. No, John replied quickly, I have never had the pleasure. But at different times, I have thought that I heard some one working in the small laboratory. I do not object at all. I have no right to do so, but Prof. B — ■ has found his materials in the smaller laboratory misplaced. Knowing that I was the only one working here in the afternoon, he has blamed me for this. I believe really that he himself Mr. Keating, Margaret interrupted, will you forgive me for what I have done? Forgive you! John exclaimed in amazement. Why, what have you done ? The girl seated herself on a high stool and clasped her hands across her knees. Looking through a window just in front of her, her eyes seemed to dwell on something far away, and John waited in silence. Presently the girl spoke, — My father is a druggist in St. Louis. W ' hen I was a very little girl, I was extremely fond of playing about my father ' s store. As I grew older, I learned a great deal from him, and became quite a help to him, and up to the time when I came here to school we worked together most of the time. While study- ing here, I have become still more interested, and, as my father expects soon to retire from his business, I am preparing myself to take his place, with the assistance of some one else perhaps. I love my work so much that I cannot spend enough time at it. So I have gotten into the habit of slipping into the little labora- tory in the afternoons, and working by myself. And, as I did not wish to be discovered, I have kept very quiet while you were here. And yet, I have made trouble for you. I ' ll tell Prof. B — that I am the one who misplaces things and that, — 66 No, indeed, Miss Warden, you ' ll do nothing of the kind. What I cannot understand is that you take this stuff and work so hard over it, because you like it. Do you know, I am making up a condition, not my first either, but my second. How I hate it ! And how can you like it ? The girl laughed, and said, — It ' s a hard question to answer. Really I can ' t help liking it. John groaned, and then, as the girl moved to go, he said, — 1 really would not mind it, if chemistry was always like this. And you have not done a thing this afternoon, she replied. My time has been spent much more profitably, John an- swered, picking up his books and opening the door. Remember, he added, not a word to Prof. B , Miss Warden. I hope you will not betray yourself. And Keating closed the door behind him. The fall term was slowly drawing to a close, and examina- tions were in progress. These last days, so trying to both teacher and student, found Keating in an anxious frame of mind. He was constantly asking himself, Will I pass in this chemistry, or must I again read that hateful word, ' conditioned ? ' For some time he had heard nothing from his father. But in the last letter he had received, the closing words had been, — I sincerely hope that you will have no condition to report at the end of the term, John. One afternoon toward the end of December, John opened the door of his room, as he started for the laboratory, and was sur- prised to find a letter, lying on the threshold outside, addressed in the well-known handwriting of his father. He picked it up rather absent-mindedly and put it carelessly in his pocket, as he started away, saying to himself, — This can ' t go on much longer. I won ' t get through it, if something isn ' t done. A condition is certain. Yet really I am working harder at this stuff than I have ever worked before. It ' s only because of of — — Margaret, he finally managed to say. 67 Prof. B looks upon me in a rather questioning way, still thinking, I suppose, that I am the one who misplaces his precious bottles. I cannot let him know of the work that Margaret is doing. She must tell him, if anyone does. And yet I do want to steer clear of another condition. He climbed the hill quickly, but, before entering the labora- tory, he stopped by a window near the door and remained here several minutes, looking thoughtfully out over the campus. He was still thinking of the coming condition, when it occurred to him that he had not opened his father ' s letter. He thurst his hand into his pocket, and found that the letter was gone. Where could I have lost it? he said aloud. Perhaps by mistake I have But he was suddenly startled by a loud explosion, which came from within the laboratory. Then came a cry of pain. He hurried toward the door, opened it, and, with a frightened excla- mation, crossed the room. Near her accustomed place, at the desk in the corner, crouched Margaret, with a frightened look on her pale face. Be- fore her on the table was a mass of broken bottles and retorts, mixed with a solution still smoking from the explosion. John quickly opened a window, that the fumes might escape, and then turned to the girl. One glance told him all. Miss Warden, you are hurt! he exclaimed, as he saw her apron badly scorched, and one hand pitifully scarred and burned. The girl only looked at him in dumb appeal, and held out her in- jured hand for his inspection. In a few moments he had bound it neatly in one of his own handkerchiefs, and, when the bandage was securely fastened, she turned to him and said, — A friend in need is a friend indeed, Mr. Keating. I hope so. Miss Warden, was his quick reply. But may I walk down the hill with you ? I really think you ought • — Oh, no, thank you. I am perfectly able to go alone. But it will be a great favor to me if you will be so kind as to remove all traces of my accident. I don ' t v ant the professor to think I am so careless. If I had only read my directions more thor- oughly, the explosion would not have occurred. 68 ■ Certainly, I will clear things up here, Miss Warden, if you like. Thank you, Mr. Keating, and she was gone. John turned to her desk and, after studying her text-book for a moment, exclaimed, ■ — Ah, I see ! Poor girl ! The directions say lo grams K2 CO3 and dilute H2 SO4 added to produce solution. By mistake, she took 2 KCIO3, and to it added concentrated instead of dilute H2 SO4, producing an explosion of course. A mistake easily made, for the formulae are very similar and the two acid bottles stand side by side on the shelf. It was an accident, yet a very painful one, I fear, was John ' s final comment. The traces of the explosion were soon cleared away and Keating left the building. But there continually rose before him the picture of the pale and trembling figure in the blue apron, with the burned and scarred hand. zifi — - — The last day of the term finally came, and Keating climbed the hill for the last time, to work in the chemistry laboratory. The room was empty and deserted when he reached it and he felt rather lonely as he began his last hour ' s work. He missed the girl at the desk in the corner, and was wondering whether he should see her before leaving for home, when the door opened, and there she stood, with her hand still bandaged. She smiled pleasantly, as Keating laid down his work and came forward. The laboratory is glad to welcome you again, he said cor- dially. T he dear place, she murmured, how I love it ! But I am glad to see you again, Mr. Keating, especially this last day of the term.- I thought that possibly you might have gone home. I see that ou are still pegging away at your chemistry, and that ' s good. However I did not come up here to deliver a lecture, but to give you something that belongs to you. John looked puzzled, as she drew from her pocket the long- lost letter from his father. I found it, she explained, the day of my accident, as T 69 was hurrying down the hill. But read it, while I unlock my desk. John opened the letter eagerly, and read, — Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 20, 1902. My Dear John, — I received yesterday a letter from Prof. B , and he in- forms me of your improved work in chemistry, during the past term. Your grade is a fine one and I am greatly pleased. Now, I find that an old friend of mine, an eminent druggist in St. Louis, is looking for a young man to take his place in the bus- iness, as he expects to retire soon. The position is a good one and is open to you, if you care to take it. The druggist in ques- tion is Mr. W. D. Warden. Let me know at once whether you will accept the ofifer, so that I can write to him. John handed the letter to Margaret. Will you read it? he asked. You wish me to ? Certainly, was his reply. She took the letter and read slowly. John watched her closely, but her expresssion did not change. As she finished the letter, she handed it to him, saying. I think I know what K2 CO3 stands for, as it is written in my chemistry book. And what ' s that ? demanded John. Why, just this. Keating, twice conditioned, not three. John laughed softly, but asked, — What about the position, — Margaret? Shall I accept it? But Margaret only smiled. The Poet ' s Dre .m CHARLES C. PATTERSON. He sat in his room at midnight, That weird and ghostly hour, Holding his pen in waiting For the gift of the poet ' s power, To tell some love-fraught story Or tale of warrior bold. Who fought for a lovely maiden In the golden time of old. Or perhaps, some lighter burden Would ripple through his song Like the music of a brooklet. Laughing its course along. The south wind was mournfully wailing. In the swaying trees outside. Searching, with ever a doleful plaint F or the leaf, his summer bride. And finding her not among them, Turned to the window pane, Rapping with ghostly fingers Again and ever again. Only the firelight ' s flickering Drove back the encircling gloom. Painting a changing scenerv On the walls of his modest room. 71 There is a subtle magic In the glowing embers ' light To call to mind old memories From out the gloomy night. As his fancy idly wandered, Seeking a fitting theme, His musing changed to revery, The revery into a dream. The winter softened to summer, Clad in green were the trees. While the winter wind ' s harsh wailing Had died to a summer breeze. In a quiet country graveyard, On a sunny sloping hill, By a moss-crowned headstone, stood he While his feelings roamed at will. There lay Mary, gentle sweetheart Of his happy boyhood days, ' Round whose memory time was weaving A misty golden haze. By the moss-green marble headstone, A modest flowerlet grew, With white-lipped pearly petals. Still wet with the morning dew. It seemed to him an image Of her spirit lily white. Pure as the first faint radiance Of the herald morning light. In his dream he stooped to pluck it, He awakened with a start, But the dream awakened memories With the dream did not depart. 72 Instead of the floweret ' s stem In his hand he held the pen And in his softened spirit He felt this truth first then. That love for the dead is bitter-sweet, But sweeter than joy its pain, For the dead in memory never change And the lover ' s loss is gain. That the great world needed workers To carve from the rough-hewn stone The finished forms of beauty That please by sight alone. So the poem is still unwritten. Though perhaps another year You may pay to it the tribute Of an unacknowledged tear. 73 Our Alma Mater W. E. WICKENDEN. ' 04. Throned upon the hilltop ' s height Clad in robes of leafy verdure, Radiant in the sunlight bright, Reigns our queen, our Alma Mater. At her feet on nature ' s breast Sweetly sleeps the peaceful valley. Nature ' s richest gifts have blessed Denison, our Alma Mater. Joyfully we own her sway, Every loyal son and daughter. Guiding us in wisdom ' s way, Denison, our Alma Mater. Loud in song her praise proclaim. Join each voice in adoration, Till land and sea resound her fame, Denison, our Alma Mater. 74 The Birth of the Fire Pink The Ambiqua Tribe, noted for their handsome, stalwart men, and for their hideously ugly women, held the tradition that sometime their greatest chief would have a daughter who would be the most beautiful of women ; that her beauty would be so great that it would cause the destruction of two tribes. This tradition was ridiculed by the other Indians, because the Am- biquas, having long refused to go on the war path, were held in scorn by them. This prophecy, nevertheless, was fulfilled in time. Many were the forebodings of the Indian women when they saw, day after day, new beauties, hitherto unknown to them, develop in the person and pure life of White Angel, the only daughter of Chief Great Eagle. Tall and stately she grew, and longing glances were cast upon her by the young men of her tribe, but upon these she never smiled. Once, while gathering flowers in the forest, she had met Wild Rover, a handsome young Indian of another tribe, who was in eager chase after the moose. But why need we linger longer on the old, old story? Youths are youths and maids are maids, and Cupid will rule the world around, forever and forever. Though White Angel knew that Wild Rover belonged to the other tribe, and that she, herself, was in danger of her father ' s outbursts of anger and prejudice, yet she forgot all and listened with her very soul to the thrilling words of an honest heart, as she gazed into his deep, true eyes. There came a time, shortly, when all was not so pleasant — that is, the bitter-sweet was poured into her cup of happi- ness, for, fierce was the anger of Great Eagle when White Angel dared to tell him that she would not wed young Pant her, a brave warrior of her own tribe, who was her father ' s choice — 75 for fathers will choose, sometimes, and quite often, unfavorably. Never before had an Indian maiden withstood her father — but when he, one day, came upon the young people in the woods, where she had gone for berries (?), he to hunt (?), the old chief understood and vowed revenge. There was but one way in those days to settle disputes, so the Ambiquas laid aside their sluggishness and a battle most terrible was waged between the two tribes. Twelve days they fought, until at length but a handful of men was left on either side, and these strove with the fury of despair around the Am- biqua ' s council lodge. Suddenly, Wild Rover caught a gleam of scarlet through the door of the wigwam, and he knew it was White Angel, for she, with her people ' s love for bright colors, had won for herself another name, that of Fire-pink, from the bright red gown she wore. Hardly had he discovered her pres- ence ere her father had also, and soon the strife lay between these two. Seeing that the young man was about to overcome him, the old chief, with relentless revenge, hurled his tomahawk, piercing the girl through the breast. With a cry of rage her lover drove his knife into the heart of Chief Great Eagle. Then, in the shad) woods, while the birds sang the requiem, and the little rivulet wept for pity. Wild Rover laid Fire-pink to rest. For years he wandered through the country a lonely man, always looking in vain for something to satisfy the longing of his soul. Once he wandered back to the deserted village of the Ambiquas and, as he neared the place where he had laid White Angel to rest, he saw in the twilight a scarlet robe across her grave. He drew nearer ; bright faces seemed to nod to him. Then he knew that, as he bent over the robe of flowers and kissed their soft, velvet petals, he had kissed the soul of fair White Angel. M. Edith Work, ' 05. 76 The Old Raccoon V. ERNEST FIELD. Come, wander with me by the waters And Hst to their gentle tune ; Come wander with me ' mid the shadows On the banks of the old Raccoon. For soft is the voice of the waters And gentle and peaceful their flow ; And fair are the balmy breezes That softly o ' er them blow. I love there to walk in the springtime, With Nature herself to commune, Where the sycamores rise so stately On the banks of the old Raccoon. There is rest in the shade of the willows, And peace by that stream so fair ; There is balm for a soul full of sadness And rest for a heart full of care. When night wafts its kiss to the waters, By the light of the rising moon I love to walk in the gloaming On the banks of the old Raccoon. When far from these scenes of my boyhood, Of the past and its joys I ' ll dream. Of the charming and beautiful valley With its rippling winding stream. 77 In my eye will I see those waters Which ever tranquilly flow, Those shaded banks, those quiet bowers, The branches hanging low. In my ear I will hear that music, The water ' s melodious tune, As it sings of the days that we spent On the banks of the old Raccoon. When wearied with life and its burdens, Of earth and its pomp and pride, When age, with uplifted sceptre, Stands grimly at my side. When nearing the end of my journey, I ' ll count it my greatest boon To walk once more, as in days gone by, On the banks of the old Raccoon. In the morning of life I have loved it, I will love it still at noon, And, when evening has fallen upon me, I will rest by the old Raccoon. 78 A Senior ' s Lament My college days draw near their end. Alas — too soon their course has run, Too few the days I yet may spend Amid these scenes of careless fun. A Freshman green, four years ago, I trembling cHmbed this classic mount, Resolved all ancient lore to know, To drink deep draughts at wisdom ' s fount. In Sophomoric sport and revel My second year passed idly by. I smoked and drank and played the devil, A reckless dashing blade was I. My Junior year in careless bliss I spent beneath Don Cupid ' s sway. Full many a maiden I did kiss, Full many a heart I stole away. A Senior now, I sore repent. My sheepskin seems a fleeting vision ' In toil my midnight hours are spent. To graduate — my chief ambition. Ah ! Freshman, toiling up the way, Lose not thy glowing aspirations Nor wreck thy spirit young and gay In reckless, empty dissipations. 79 Ah ! Junior light of heart and head Beware when maiden ' s charms invite. In learning ' s path thy feet should tread, Let wisdom be thy chief delight. Alas ! my path grows rough and weary. Oh ! Faculty ! My prayer attend I Have pity on my fate so dreary, Grant me my sheepskin in the end. Shall I o ' er rippling rivulets glide Through shady nooks, past meadows wide, Quiet and calm in the summer ' s sun Contentedly moving leisurely on ; Nor onward guide my restless barque By changing scenes and thronging mart Out on the rushing waters, cold And wrap my breast in the Ocean ' s fold. Because all around me is calm and serene And never a sign of danger seen ? No. — I long much more for the Ocean ' s roar Nor fear what the future hath in store, But launch my boat and put to sea. Trusting my Pilot will care for me. 80 Before and After A one-handed, narrow-bottomed, lop-sided sled, A love-sick couple before they are wed. A little bit of flimsy seat just built for one, A frisky young pony out for a little fun. A great big bump in the middle of the street, Total ignorance of the fate they are going to meet. A muffled shriek, two feet of snow And it ' s a long way to Granville When the mercury is getting low. Long since married and out for a little drive. An even dozen children chained at your side, A long flat bob, both strong and wide Side boards, wire netting, brakes at the side. Two old mules with labored tread. Sun shining brightly over your head. For it is a long way to Granville When the mercury is getting low. And, an even dozen children is mighty heavy you know. 81 spinning Wheel Song CLARA LOUISE MCDONALD ' ' 03. Hidden away ' mid the long-gath ' ring shadows, Hidden with dreams of the days that are past, Grandmother ' s spinning-wheel keeps lonely vigils Musing o ' er joys all too precious to last. Hushed is the song that it sang in the old time. Lost in the lapse of the years that have flown. Turn it once more, and again it will whisper, Sweet, droning notes of the spinning-wheel song. Whirring and ringing, and buzzing and singing. List to the song with its melody sweet. Laden with sorrow, yet daring to borrow, Joys from the pleasures of life ' s sum complete. Out from the cobwebs that Time ' s hand has woven, Out from the shadows and silence of years. Echoes of music all freighted with laughter. Echoes of sighs with a burden of tears. Softly the wheel with its swift-sounding murmur, Whispers in minor strains, tender and low, Brimful of sadness, yet rippling with gladness. Songs of the beautiful long-long ago. Freighted with mysteries, laden with witcheries. Calling sweet dream-visions forth from the gloom Swells it at last to an anthem triumphant, Slow swings the wheel, for its music is done. O ' er it again falls the shade of oblivion. Washed in the waters from Lethe ' s slow stream, Fitfully sobbing, with life-passions throbbing. Into the gloom dies this voice of a dream. Falling away in a soft-sounding cadence. Hushed to a lullaby solemn and deep, No more of sorrow, from Hope ' s realm to borrow Leave we the Past, with its memories to sleep. 83 When Hearts are True Without the storm is raging fast And icy sleet and blinding snow, Impelled by Boreas ' howling blast, O ' er hill and valley madly blow. Within the fire burns bright and warm. The crackling flame with cheerful glow Doth mock the fury of the storm. What matter tho ' the northwind blow ! A maid divine sits at my side. In her deep eyes love ' s art doth read The secrets that she fain would hide, Why give the stormwind thought or heed What tho ' misfortune ' s storms rage high. Our bark be tossed on angry sea, Tho ' tempests dark life ' s course defy, Our love shall but the stronger be. Ah ! Who will weep while love shall last, Why heed the world ' s unfriendly blast, When hearts are true and hearts are kin. Let love and joy hold sway within. 84 A New Year ' s Eve CHARLES F. BURKE, 04. I remimber yit, said Uncle Jim As he meditatively spit and wiped his chin, Jus ' forty years ago to-day, me and Jane wuz settin here Awaiting fur the c omin year. As young folks does that ' s gone togither Fur well nigh on three year, or rither. Since we wuz children in good old ' Skeets, ' With its gabled roofs and winding streets. And old rough rocks where you ' re supposed to step To keep your feet from gettin wet. And where if you wuz girls and kind of skeery, And feared of gettin yur closes dirty. Would miss them stones bout every pop. And land right in the mud, kerflop. At least, that ' s the way Mary Jane wud do, And then us boys, that ' s me and Hugh, Wud rescue her frum out the mud, And then she ' d smile as sweet as she cud, Jus as if she enjoyed it grand A-gettin ' stuck and carried to land. And did I enjoy? Well, I reckon sich times as those, Wuz the times Dan Cupid ' uz huverin close, A-shootin his arrers and little darts, Jus ' fur practice, I gess, on our young hearts. Well, me and Jane grew thick as we cud be, As thick as gum on a cherry tree. As thick as molasses in January, You couldn ' t hev parted us with a noterary. So of course on New Year ' s Eve, you know, Me and Jane wuz settin so. 85 Talking of love ? well not exactly, But of runnin brooks and buzzin bees, And all sich things that han ' t nothin to do, With life nur love, nur me nur you. It mus ' be gittin ' nigh on twelve sez I, A edgin closer and closer by, And lookin slyly at the great old clock. That ticked and ticked on the mantel top, So close sezs she in accents clear I kin almost smell the dyin year. Or, perhaps ' tis a rat sez Mary then, And moved away to the other end. The room grew still the silence ominess. And now ' tis time, sez I, fur business. But still I sot mechanically ; And never a word escaped frum me. All at once the clock begin to start, A keepin time to my beatin heart. And a-sendin a delightful shiver. From one end of me clean to the ither. The spell wuz broke and like a boomerang, Right straight up frum my chair I sprang, And all her struggling wuz in vain. Fur I hed my arms ' round Mary Jane. There wuz rosy lips and a dimpled cheek. There wuz a little pause and a muffled shriek, And the kindly clock with its clamorous din, Previnted the naburs frum comin in. — Well, that wuz forty year ago to-day. Since we watched the clock a-plodding away, But still in my memory I see it plain. That new Year ' s Eve with Mary Jane. 86 A Dream Stretched out comfortably in my Morris chair, with the coals snapping in the grate and the hght dimly burning, my thoughts wandered where they willed. Suddenly I was roused by the sound of a bell, clear and imperative its summons rang upon the frosty air. With a startled 7:20! I must go! I gathered up my books, put on my cap and started for the Hill. The air was keenly invig- orating, but for some cause I felt depressed. Casting about for a reason, I realized all at once that the German lesson, to which recitation I was now going, was not fully prepared. Well, if I flunk — I flunk ! I spent over two hours on it anyway, and that discussion on Riehl ' s style had to be started, — was the consolation I gave myself. As I neared the Dorm, other students were coming, all deeply interested in a little flexibly bound book such as I held in my hand. Goodness ! and a chill seized me. Do we have stem groups to-day? I haven ' t looked at them, so it ' s trust to luck, sure enough! I seated myself with a calmness born of despair and waited. Wir haben zunachst — the voice of Herr Professor sounded stern — die Stamengruppen. Oh, if I had only come in late I might not have been called upon! Herr W-k-d-n usually does! But luck turned in my favor and the eagle eye glanced beyond me to other trembling souls, whose laggard steps as they passed to the board indicated the dearth in their minds relative to the subject desired. Nun haben wir, and Prof, picked up a volume of Schil- ler ' s Thirty Years War. A queer feeling thrilled me and I sighed to myself as I found the desired place. Three recita- tions followed while my spirits sank to zero ; then came my name, to which I meekly responded : Not prepared. Professor. 87 Herr McK. Not prepared. Fraulein P. — the same an- swer. Fraulein B. — and a look of calm security, indicating she will not fail me, shone on his face. And she did not. Glances of ireful despair were exchanged among the crest- fallen ones, and as the name Fraulein S-p-d was heard, the gathering storm broke. Professor, I didn ' t get over this and — Auf Deutsch ! Auf Deutsch, bitte ! Ich denke dass — Oh, I can ' t say it in German, but the lessons are too long! Too long! (eyebrows slightly raised.) I was not aware that I was overburdening you. Do the — Fr. C-1. It took over three hours for to-day just to — Fr. J-n-s. If you make anything like a smooth translation it is impossible — Mingled chorus of: So many new words! Hard to use the die — Can ' t understand what — That essay to write ! While above all rose the voice of Fr. S-p-d. And we just can ' t keep our lights on after half-past nine! Consternation, almost dismay, overspread the Prof. ' s face, but he said soothingly, with a reproving glance at the young men, who, instead of aiding the strike, were smiling broadly: Well ! I don ' t want to be the cause of your breaking any rules, and if you really think the lessons are too long, we will shorten them. However, you should have no trouble in preparing them if you will only prepare them. To-morrow you may take three of the stem groups and two and one-half pages of the transla- tion. You may have until Monday to prepare your themes, and as the hour has almost expired the class is excused. So had we nearly expired, but the point had been gained. To-morrow we would have only one hundred and fifty lines to translate, whereas to-day there had been at least one hundred and sixty. A door slammed, and a hearty, Hello, old man! Got your Dutch? brought me back to the stern realities of every-day life. R. D. 88 A Pathway O. I. DUSTHIMER ' 03. There is a path, you know it well, With its crooked windings so, Across a stream Where the minnows gleam. And the reeds nod to and fro. A turn to the left, through a gate to the right, And on where the bluets hide, By the towering hill And the rippling rill. And the daisies close beside. And on and on as it turns and twists, Through a vale where the cliffs rise high. Where the trees hang low, And the wild ferns grow, With only a glimpse of the sky. Now ye who wander this path along, In the days while your life is new, When years have sped Across your head. Will its memories cling to you ? When you come to mix in the busy throng That fights in the marts for gold. Will you tire of the strife Of your busy life. And long for the days of old? When you took that path on a bright spring day Leading out from the old, old town, Unburdened with care, And wandered there. And dreamed ' till the sun went down. 89 Athletic Association Officers President - - Charles F. Burke, ' 04 Vice-President - - Gale Seaman, ' Oli Secretary - - Robert W.

The spirit developed upon this occasion was such as to justify the ex- pectation that this contest will become a permanent institution and will supplant the much criticised class rush of former years.

Crescents and Stars take their respective places, the ball is tossed and the game begins. Back and forth it goes in rapid play, while the spectators on the side lines cheer vociferously. Now a tall Crescent pulls the ball down as it is speeding towards a Star, but her throw is checked by a doughty opponent who slips in front and secures the ball. The excitement increases in intensity as the game progresses, the tennis players leave their courts and watch eagerly to see who will be victorious. Finally the Crescents score and the Stars redouble their play. Only a minute more ! Can they accomplish anything in that time ! Ah, the ball is nearing their goal I The guard has it and passes it quickly to the goal-thrower who tosses it squarely above the basket ! As it settles snugly down the whistle announces ' time up ' and the score is tied. Basket-ball and Tennis are heartily engaged in until the weather drives us in-doors. Here our space is limited but small classes can and do accomplish a great deal. New appliances have been added until the room will hold no more and we come away from our Gym Class with glowing cheeks and clearer brains. When our Athletic Association has been formed and our girls have come off victorious in the games with other teams, and we have a new room in which to use our apparatus then Shepard- son Athletics will flourish as never before. Three cheers for the Gym that we now have, but three cheers and a tiger for the one that is coming. 101 Shepardson Basket Ball Teams FALL TERM, I902. CRESCENT. (Winning Team.)

A dignified young lady in black was calling the meeting to order. 108 The roll call came first. This was listened to in open-mouthed silence. The chaplain ' s exercises were broken into with numer- ous fervent Amens on the part of Si. The first number on the program was a piano solo. Gee! Whiz! She kin play ' most as well as aour Susie, can ' t she? exclaimed Si, clapping his hands clumsily at its conclusion. An essay on Man and Some of His Accomplishments followed, causing such comments as Wal, naouw ' Si, didn ' t that shaow brains? She had orter j ' in aour Braowning Club ' and so forth. An amusing- sketch was then read producing many a loud gufifaw from Si, greatly mortifying Samanthy thereby. The vocal solo Love has Eyes had a great effect upon Samanthy who said That reminds me of when Belindy sings. The Philomathean which was unusually good received many favorable comments. At the conclusion of a story Walter ' s First Call, Samanthy turned to Si with the remark I wander ef that feller re ' lly did call on a Sem gal? The program closed with another piano solo that made a great impression on both visitors if outward appearances are not deceiving. Wal, I ' m glad I went, aint you S ' manthy, said Si on the way home. 109 Euterpe n Colors: Yellow and White Officers President Vice President Recording Secretary - Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Pros.

The first faint light of morning disclosed the beautiful earth in its robe of spotless purity. Euterpe, best and fairest of the daughters of Jove, looked out upon the glorious scene from her home on the lofty peak of old Mount Olympus. What wonderful thing did she see, so white and cool and soft covering all the earth ! Never before had there been snow on Olympus ; but the tricky little fairies sometimes have very queer ideas, and they fancied that they would enjoy seeing Old Olympus white instead of that monotonous green. As Euterpe looked, the Sun in his gold en chariot came rid- ing over the hills, cracking his whip of yellow light and bathing the whole scene in golden glory. Euterpe clapped her hands with delight, How glorious, she cried, Most beautiful of all the col- ors ! Gold and White. When, among the bands of my follow- ers, I shall find one that seems best of all to me, upon that one I shall bestow the Gold and White. Months, years, centuries rolled by, and many times fleet- winged messengers brought to Euterpe news of her bands of 112 faithful followers. But still she hesitated, Not yet ' she said, have you brought me word of a society worthy of my colors. At last one beautiful day the fleetest of her messengers came fly- ing swiftly homeward to Euterpe. Far, far away across the great Atlantic I have flown, he whispered, across the United States to the beautiful village of Granville. Above that pretty little city the air was disturbed by the gentle whispering of lovely voices from below. I stopped to listen, and to my amazement they were discussing the question of colors for a Euterpean Lit- erarv societv. What message shall 1 carry to them? Euterpe ' s eyes grew bright with excitement, At last the time has come, she cried. This is the favored band. Its members shall wear my colors. Go quickly and whisper in each ear, Eu- terpe grants you the ' Gold and WJiite ' . E. R. T. 113 C .lliopean Officers President, - - - - - - O. I. Dusthimkr Vice-President, - - - - - -CD.

The high purpose and enthusiasm of its charter members were indicated by the Hmited number of en- thusiasts who gathered together to form this Literary Society. This infant organization found that it could have no higher aims in its literary work than in the sparkling writings that came from the pen of Washington Irving, the foremost of American authors and writers. At the inauguration of the society, high literary and social improvements were planned for in order that their highest possible development might be realized. The spirit of unity which is shown in the motto, We are one, has ever pervaded the society and the fraternal spirit among the men is one of the many bonds of fellowship which holds the Alumni to the institution. LTnder its inspiring leadership, men have climbed the mount of literary fame, conceived higher purposes, nobler ambitions and the impetus which they received as brothers in this society has been of great assistance to them in the practical walk of life. After the monotony of a week ' s work, the diversion and in- spiration received from the weekly meetings spurs the student on with renewed vigor. Its gathering of student members finds a place in the foremost rank of honor men who pass out yearly from the parental roof of this institution. When we trace the history of this Society, we see by its glow- ing records that its aim is being accomplished, and the probable outcome is that its members will rival the fame of their adopted ancestor. 120 To Irving W. G. SPENCER. In Granville, quiet, shady town. There stands a college of renown. And in this grand old learning seat, Yound Irvings true rejoice to meet. There oratory sways the realm, Her guiding hand firm holds the helm. No Irving but is proud to be A part of his society. Is proud to wear Old Gold and Red, Is not ashamed to lift his head And say, I am an Irving man. Those trained in Irving lead the van. Go where you will, seek where you may O ' er all this broad rich earth to-day : It matters not, on sea or larid You ' re sure to find on ev ' ry hand Some loyal Irving, great or small Who still remembers Irving Hall. 121 Cicero Colors: Old Gold and Purple Motto: TikjO aavrov Yell Rickety, Rackety, Sis, boom, all!

We are still holding to the high standards set by our predecessors. Our ambition is to keep our Society a first-class organization for the development of literary taste and mental culture. For forty-three years our Society has been one of the strong factors in the literary life of Denison. Many prominent men have gone out from her doors better fitted for life ' s work. Some occupy chairs in the great Universities ; other are filling the more important pulpits of our cities, while others are winning for themselves and their Alma Mater lasting fame in political circles. The work of the present year, although inferior to what we had hoped for, has been of a high order. Each member has performed his duty with an enthusiasm that has rendered our programs both interesting and instructive. With such a glorious past we press forward to the goal gained by those alone who work with determination. 124 Si| ni Chi 45 Mu Chapter 1868 Colors: Light Blue and Old Gold. Resident Members John H.

Work The Young Women ' s Christian Association during its brief life of six years has made rapid growth and now is recognized as one of the most important factors in our college life. It is the only Christian organization in Shepardson College and the only place where teachers and students meet on a common level. It seeks to develop character, enlarge the heart and broaden the life of every girl. This year the membership is larger than ever before and interest in the work is maintained by Weekly Prayer meetings, Student Bible Classes, Mission Study Class and vari- ous other enterprises. Affiliation with the larger interests of the movement is cultivated by sending delegates each year to the Lake Geneva Conference and to the State Conventions. Last summer three of our girls were at Lake Geneva and in November eighteen enjoyed the State Convention at Wooster. The inspira- tion of these meetings is brought back to our Association and manifested as living principles. We are hoping to entertain the Convention at Denison next year and are looking forward to it with much anticipation. 142 The Secret Order of Betew Alph .

In these days of close specialization it affords the student a much needed op- portunity to keep in to uch with the progress of the entire scien- tific world. Its library is large and is constantly growing by the addition of current scientific literature obtained in exchange for its own publications. Bi-weekly meetings are held for the discus- sion of scientific subjects of general interest. This furnishes an excellent means of supplementing the regular class room and laboratory work. Membership is open to faculty and students under like conditions. 148 Officers Prof. W. H. Johnson. Prof. G. F. McKibben. C. K. Chapman. Program Committee Prof. W. A. Chamberlin. Prof. R. S. Colwell. Miss Anna B. Peckham. The Language Association has entered upon its second year ' s existence. It has fully justified its being. It aflfords opportunity for a more extended discussion of language topics than can pos- sibly be attempted in class-room work, and on this account is peculiarly valuable to the student in broadening his view of language study. The programs of the Association cover a wide range of subjects in all departments of linguistic study. An attempt is made to present the results of all recent language re- search. Critical and historical studies are given of classics from all languages taught in the departments of the college. The effort is to stimulate a deeper and more intelligent and schol- arly consideration of linguistic studies. C. K. C. President .... Vice President Secretary .... 149 The Studio ELIEVING as he did, in the force of labor, Sir Joshua Reynolds held that artistic excellence however expressed by genius, taste, or the gift of Heaven, may be acquired by painstaking toil and perseverance. While it is encouraging to be assured that by industry and persever- ance the highest distinction in art may be achieved, it is equally true that without inborn genius, no amount of mere industry will make an artist. All painters are not artists, and there are many artists who do not paint. The gift comes by nature, but it must be perfected by culture. Few think of the labor and long years of training necessary for the accomplishment of the work that looks so simple and easy when completed. Titian worked for seven years 150 almost daily on his Last Supper, while his celebrated Pietro Martire was eight years in hand. Mere precocity or facility of expression does not often achieve permanent success or lasting fame. Hogarth said that true painting can be learned in only one school and that is kept by nature. Though one may not be ambitious for an artistic career, and though life be all too brief for the perfecting of more than one gift of nature, yet there surely is time for a sufficient training of eye and hand to enable one to perceive more intelligently the beauties of nature and to appreciate more fully the masterpieces of Art. In the Attic Studio both genius and talent are daily made to recognize their possibilities and limita- tions under the tutelage of the teachers, who so successfully are seeking to train the heart to feel, the eye to see, and the hand to execute. 151 Officers Captain .....

How to ascend the spiral stairway at Burton Hall without getting the vertigo. An illustrated lecture on The art and method of saying goodbye. When a young lady feels that the last moment has come for taking leave, she should grasp the door knob firmly with the left hand, lean slightly to the northwest, extend the right hand resolutely forward, keeping the face well protected from the evening breeze, assume thoughtfully an ' auf wiedersehen ' look and say:— ' My dear Mr. Smith, it has given me the utmost 153 pleasure to have your most delio htful company and I must say that I have had the loveliest time ' — here she should touch the extended hand of the other half of the combination with the tips of her fingers and the scene should close without further delay. Hazy indeed must be the understanding of one who cannot see the advantages of such modern methods. To tell all that Social Culture is accomplishing would require volumes; to tell less is an injustice to the noble work. 154 Literary Corps W. E.

Especially does the editor wish to thank his associates and others of the class of 1904 for their unfailing support and assistance. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of our literary contributors, Miss Ruth McKibben, Miss Clara MacDonald, Miss Edith Work, Charles C. Patterson, V. Ernest Field and Oren I. Dusthimer. The success of the Art Department is due to the excellent work of Miss Amy Dodson, Mr. E.

The courtesy and careful work of our engravers, the Barnes- Crosby Company, and of our publishers, the Champlin Printing Company, has been of gre at value and helpfulness. 160 Indeed there is much which can not be mentioned here which has helped to make the editor ' s work pleasant and effective and in conclusion may we be allowed to express our most grateful appreciation of the assistance of all who have shared our endeavor to make this volume a worthy epitome of a good year.

Mr. McK.— The boys. 171 T e -p as r ) T ua-- run tut-t t-tmt ' - t -e.. By Way of Diagram ' ' For we aim to make things highly diagrammatic and not to make a picture. ' ' 172 An Hour in History Time 2:30 P. M. Subject under discussion being, The Survival of the Fittest, or How my Family happened to come to America. The members of the class assemble promptly, except Nixon and Nettleman. The last named gentleman comes shuifling in with a long raveling of Clark ' s O. N. T. hanging from his coat. Of course Wall is kind enough to pull out the thread which hap- pens in this case to be of unusual length. Nettleman looks dazed but manages to pull himself together in time for roll call. Car- man arises from his chair, pushes his arms out of his coatsleeves, fastens his cuffs securely, extends his finger dramatically and be- gins. When my great, great grandfather landed in this glo- rious republic, — (here Sprout, Nettleman and Chaffee on the front row, get out their note books and copy assiduously), the professor pauses momentarily and then proceeds, When they landed from the Mayflower on that cold and dreary coast, but since this may be of interest to some I will ask Mr. Burke to step to the board and point out this historic spot on the map. The gentleman mentioned advances to the front part of the room and says, looking slyly at the men on the front row, Professor is there not a pointer that I could use ? Carman pulls his sideburns and looks savagely around the room. Yes, there were two pointers here not later than yester- day and it is strange what could have become of them. You villi have to use your finger. — In the meantime one of the fellows on the front row whispers audibly, What ' s he kicking about ? A man ' s supposed to get a few pointers when he comes to class. Yes, Mr. Burke, that large red spot on the map is the ex- act place where my noble ancestor first broke the stillness of the primeval forest. That will do. The influence those men had on the history of our country is only comparable to that exerted by the French Huguenots. And by the way, Mr. La Rue, I believe you are of Hugue- not descent. 173 Yes, yes, Mr. La Rue is one of our most estimable young men. So you see my young friends the result of evolution. When God wants to make an oak he takes an hundred years, when he maket a squash he takes, Well, let me see. Mr. Olmsted can you tell me the exact time that we marked on our calender that it takes a squash to mature ? Forgot ? Now I want you to understand lhat some of you fellows must grasp these important questions or you will get into difficulty at the end of the term. • — Mr. Gengnagel you come next. You may recite on this, please. Mr. G. Six weeks. Exactly, sir. I am pleased that some are getting a hold on these matters anyhow, at this point of the discussion, Nettleman, who has received permi ssion to leave early makes- preparation for departure, but finds hat, books, and everything gone. He blandly picks up Carman ' s hat, but is politely in- formed that it was not made for communal purposes, so he has to leave with unprotected head piece. After one or two more excellent recitations (out of the book) from the fellows in the back of the room, the hour ends. But before dismissal, I have several outlines of my recent lecture that I will be pleased to give you by calling at my desk. A look of horror spreads on every face, and a wild rush for the door soon ends the scene and the hour. 174 Dedicated to Dr. Hunt by his shivering pupils Dec. 8, 1902. It is so very, very cold, The pupils all did say, We really, really cannot learn Philosophy to-day. Then Dr. Hunt did sweetly smile And shivering did say, Since it ' s so very, very cold, We ' d better bide a wee. 176 Prof. Watson — Well now, Mr. Olmsted, wake up. We shall soon have some ice up here so that you can put some of it on your head. But until it comes you must try and brace up. For sufferance is the badge of all our trihe. — Alpha Omega. Professor of Ornithology (during Field work), — Now look in that tree, there are two birds making love. Sweet young girl, — Oh! Let ' s go on! I think it ' s a shame to watch them.

Neither trouble nor expense has been spared in bringing together a faculty of broad experience and education. Each professor is a specialist in his branch of instruction and will bring to his classes the results of profound research and personal investigation. Instruction will be by class room lectures and demonstra- tions, laboratory and field practice, and by individual research. In addition to the stated course of study, a wide range of electives is offered. At the conclusion of the course, the degree of B. M. (Bachelor of Mashology) will be conferred. All holders of this degree are admitted to practice without further examination. Faculty Frank Belford Amos, Dean Professor of Affectional Phoolosophy. Vinton Ernest Field Professor of Osculatics.

And the mighty tribe of Euterpes, Tribe of Euterpes gave an extra. Used that fiddler ' s room to dress in, Did not touch a thing within it; But that chair it turned up missing. Then out stalked that mighty fiddler, Raging, raving in his madness, In his heart was mighty anger. For that chair was very precious. Then a gentle Euterpe met him. Said, Behold me, I ' m a Euterpe, But our tribe has not been meddling- Has not seen that chair nor touched it. ' Then back to his chamber stalked he, And the gentle Euterpe left him; But within his heart he muttered There was no one else to touch it, Touch that chair of wood most precious. 183 Then up rose the tribe of Euterpe, Searched they long to find the culprit, Find the culprit who had done this, Carried off this chair most precious. Many weary days they searched thus, And at last they found the sinner; Found he was not of their number, Found him one of those most honored, Honored by this mighty fiddler. Then they said unto that fiddler. Thus our chief has spoken to us: Now you must return, my people, Go back to your quiet dwellings. You must think no more upon it. You must not do evil to him, To this fiddler who has wronged us, He is voung and knows not better, And he will no longer wrong us, For once more in his possession Is that chair by him so treasured. Is that chair of wood most precious. 184 Guess Who A maiden fair With sun-kissed hair Came tripping down the street. Her smile serene, Her age sixteen, Gee Whiz ! But she was sweet.
