TBE Adytum Board had intended to compile an historical account of the Adytiim, but the amount of correspond- 1 ence necessary could not liave l oen completed in time. Only a short resume will be attempted. The subtended letter from Francis W. Shepardson. ' 83, gives an excellent account of the Genesis of the Adytum. After the vohime of ' 82 no annual was attempted till ' 88, when E. J. Price, W. L. Thickstun, J. Sinsel, J. H. Williams and C. H. Bosler issued the Adytum through the press of Kussmaul and Shepardson. The ' 88 editors recommended that tlie fraternities unite in making the Adytum an annual publication. In 1891 the three fraternities, I X, B 6 n and ' t ' r A acted on this suggestion. After 1891 annuals (for a few years annuals in name only) were issued by the Seniors of ' 93, ' 97, ' 99, ' 00 and ' 01. The experience of the class of 1901 showed that the Adytum could be published to better advantage by the Junior classes, and beginning with 1902 this cus- tom has been followed. To the ' 00 Adytum belongs the honor of first including Shepardson College within its covers, and to this Adytum, the Conservatory of Music. Chicago, January 32, 1904. Mr. Ralph B. Miller, Granville, Ohio. My Dear Miller : Replying to your letter about the Adytum I will say this. When I was a boy I saw an Annual published by the Kenyon College students. It was full of the insignia of various college societies, all of which seemed to me very mysterious. I used to look over the book again and again, wondering about this and that. When I entered college I always hoped to see a similar book published by the Denison students. After I joined a fraternity, particularly after fraternities were again recognized by the Board of Trustees, I did what I could to arouse interest in such a publi- cation. It did not take long to discover that others, Will Shepard, for example, and perhaps Ed Olney were interested in the same thing, but we were all somewhat afraid of the financial problem. Finally we had a Board of Editors chosen, F. D. Barker ' 83, F. W. Shepardson ' 83, and W. C. Shepard ' 84, representing Beta Theta Pi, and J. E. Andrews ' 83, E. J. Olney ' 83, and C. M. Taylor ' 85, Sigma Chi. Andrews was made editor in chief, Sigma Chi being (he oldest established Chaptei-, and Barker, for Beta Tlieta Pi, was business manager. We had frequent meetings, and 1 recall that, the dictionary was pretty thoroughly examined for a name. I think Will Shep- ard and I suggested the word Adytum , because we worked together in many things. We found this meant a place for myste- rious hidden things, and we thought it an appropriate designation for a hook which was to be so full of hidden things of mystery as we planned ours to be. The printing was done at Colmnlms, under long distance difficulties of supervision, or rather of want of supervision, because Columl)us then was much further from Granville than it now is and we could not afford much travel. The Dickinson College chapters of our two fraternities had, owing to some college quarrel, just published elaborate Annuals, a feature of each of which was a very fancy border on the page. We copied this idea, and had a bright red border. Our Woodcuts were made by a Columbus wood eng raver, who had married into a Granville family. While we used some stock cuts there were a number of original designs, J. E. Andrews and F. D. Barker, contributing good sketches. One or two quite amusing things are still fresh in my mind. The account of the Young Men ' s Christian Association was written by Fred Barker, now a leading physician and surgeon in Dayton. He had been president of the association and so was deputed to write some- thing about its work. He was somewhat disturbed to find in the printed book the sentence, The most that can be said of this asso- ciation is that it furnishes more men for the college choir than any other organization. His copy read The worst, etc. , this jibe at the choir being well deserved, but the long distance supervision difficulties mentioned above played havoc with the proof-reading. ■ The firm that printed the Adytum printed also the Makio , the 0. S. TJ. annual. We wanted to use one cut, taken from that book, and so on the copy we pasted a picture and marked from Makio , meaning that as a direction to the printer where to get the cut. The intelligent compositor found the cut all right but he set up the words from Makio and ran in cut and all in a most conspicuous place. In another place our proof-reader wrote the letters U. C , meaning upper case , but the printer inserted the letters, so that Economy became U. C. conomy . One of the most interesting features was an account of Omicron Omega written by Frank M. Stalker, now professor of Philosophy in the Indiana Stat« Normal School at Terre Haute. It told in verse of the initiation of a verdant prep who wanted to Join a fraternity, and for whose benefit Omicron Omega was cre- ated, its chapter house being the northeast room in the old gym- nasium. Some of the things in the book probably cut, and as we found later, some of them cut badly. I have looked through my copy and thought again of those whose names were mentioned, and while after the lapse of twenty-two years, if I were to be editor again, some of the things would never be included, yet on the whole it seems to me, considering the lack of college spirit, then, that the first Adytum was a book thoroughly representative of the Denison of that day, and that it was a good beginning for a series which I hope will be permanent. Yours trul} ' , Francis W. Shepardson. March 1, 1904. Mr. Charles K. Chapman, Editor of the Adytum, Granville, Ohio. Dear Sir : When President Roosevelt suggested publicity as a remedy for the trust evil, the initiated caught a ray of his college training and his one-time connection with a college annual. No trust magnate fears to have the searchlight of publicity turned on his business methods revealing, perhaps, small dealers forced out of business, common stock holders deprived of their investments and laborers searching in vain for their accustomed labor, more than the recreant Denisonian fears the appearance of the Adytum. What pugnacious prep, smarting from that reference in last year ' s Adytum to his awkwardness or his disastrous call at the Sem., or his involuntary visit to the hydrant, does not impatiently wait for his Junior College year when he can vent his wrath, and even scores by means of the Adytum. The Salmagundi and Et Cetera may serve as a temporary safety valve but the Adytum with its more permanent record and wider circulation can alone take care of the exhaust. The politician fears the publicity of the press. The collegian fears his college annual. For woe be unto that Denisonian, be he dignified Prex. or quaking prep, instructor, occupying the point of the crescent on the chapel platform, when the Adytum lays him bare. I doubt not that many a professor has shortened his assign- ments and many a Sophomore has concealed his importance and many an occupant of the Dormitories has failed to empty a well filled bucket on the unsuspecting passer by, and dare T add, many a walk through Spring Valley has been abandoned, by reason of the Adytum. When Tom Eeed defined a Statesman as a politician who is dead, he stated the tendency of the press to under-rate our public men. The strongest characters present the best opportunities for caricature and uncomplimentary editorial, but the deserving sur- vive and are purged thereby. Public life is not the place for weak- lings, neither is college. The Adytum has ever been true to college life. It has never to my knowledge descended to Yellow Journal- ism nor has it failed to reveal the weaknesses, as well as the strong points, of our Denison. Mr. Editor, the Epitome of my recollections of the Adytum is Pul)licity. Yours respectfully, John A. Chamberlain. 9 mm lye m%h Denison Co Be. | e dislike the changes which time brings to familiar and loved scenes; but we wish our children to grow, not- withstanding the changes involved. V e wish Denison to grow although growth implies change. Loyalty to the past requires ns to make a future different from the past I gladly avail myself of the opportunity afforded by the editor of the Adytum to outline what the friends of Denisoii have in mind for the future. I prefer to speak of general ideals rather than specific features in detail. _ First, we wish it to be a college. The distinction is becoming clearer in the development of educational ideals m America, be- tween the college and the university, or technical school. It is a difference both of purpose and of method. The latter aim, by spe- cialized methods, to produce specialists. Tlie college aims primarily to form character, to mature students, to lay the foundation m a broad general culture, upon which the technical training may rest The college aims to make the man,-to furnish the materia of which theVmiversity may make the professional man. The future will demand quite as thorough a training for its leaders as the past. The field of the college cannot be abandoned. We wish to devote Denison to collegiate and preparatory work. For this, we have the ideal location and atmosphere and adequate equipment is quite within our reach. No more honorable work need be sought than to realize the possibilities of this. Therefore, we propose to ourselves nothing less than to make here such an institution of the highest grade. We are already ex- ceptionally well furnished in many respects. Most institutions, which are trying to be colleges, would be happy if they had the plant which has already been provided here. But our faces must be toward the future. We shall need more buildings. With the completion of our central power plant, the problem of heating and lighting our build- ings will be much simplified. The most serious practical difficulty in the way of enlargement will be removed. The new gymnasium for young men will supply a serious need. We hope soon to see the new Shepardson administration building and another dormitory for young women as well as a gymnasium for them. Beyond this, it is easy to see that we shall need at no distant date an Administra- 10 tion buildiag for the college, which shall provide offices, class-rooms and chapel and remove all college work from the Acadamy building and all recitations from the East Dormitory. It seems also very desirable to have a building which shall constitute a home for the younger boys of the Academy. Besides buildings, there are obvious needs which call for fur- ther increase of the endowment funds. We shall need additional chairs of instruction. Perliaps none is of more immediate practical importance than a chair of public speaking. Additional income could also be properly used in removing the danger of losing our best teachers because other institutions can offer them much larger salaries. Many instances could be cited in M-hich such inducements have been declined, but loyalty to Denison ought not to cost too much. I have left for the last the most important feature of the future Denison — namely, the spirit which should dominate the de- velopment of the institution. It was founded in a spirit of devotion to the kingdom of Christ. If that spirit is not maintained, the chief reason for the college will have disappeared. Other institu- tions, notably the state universities, are prepared to furnish the other elements of an education. It is the glory of such a college as ours that it is free to give the proper primacy to the spiritual elements of character. We may be, by so much, broader than they. We may open all the windows of our minds to light which comes from whatever direction, from above us as well as about us. We may aim at the development of the whole man, spiritual as well as physical and mental. We rest upon the proposition that the Christian man is the best friend, the most valuable citizen, the most efficient teacher, the manliest m_an the highest product of the race. We frankly place Jesus Christ at the head of our work. The educational foundation which has been laid in Granville, is broad and sound. We have no other purpose than to build a superstructure worthy to rest upon it. The same spirit of devotion to high ideals which has moved friends, faculty and students in the past, will ensure a future worthy of the past. E. W.

He has labored hard and long to break away from these inimical tendencies and success now seems assured He proved a worthv pilot amid the perils of the Freshman year and has since served m many places of responsibility and trust.

She has always been loyal to her class and all its interests and goes forth witli its united b-st wishes. Margaret Faye Marlowe, Shepardson Two Year, Euterpe.

She has always been a loyal supporter of the class and has helped to bring about many of our successes. Her genial manner has endeared her to many of the class. William E. Wiokenden, B. S., - V, Franklin. Let him be kept from paper, pen and ink, So he may cease to write and learn to think. ■ The metropolis on the Maumee got rid of Wickenden by sending him to Denison. He has partially drowned the pangs of that separation by getting quite a reputation as a busy man. He served his class as president in its Saphomore year and as the editor of its Adytum. At present he_ pushes the editorial quill for the Denisonian, hence the above quotation. Many other enter- prises have engaged his activity, though his specialties are mathematics and phvsics, ' which he will probably teach. Lilian A. Wyly, B. L., Euterpe.

Nor is hos- pitality her only accomplishment. In the class room Hiss Wyly ' has shone as one of our lumi- naries. She is known to be game when any stunt is proposed and enjoys a wide popularity both in and beyond the class. (Jl; ' I l.l.K ( ' . MoXTCOAl EltY, B. S., ' J. FUANKLIN.

Maddox, A. B. Ahseiire makes the heart grow fonder. He is our Jack-in-the-pulpit, at least every now and then. The rest of the time he studies in order to avoid the ladies, who seek him persistently. Maddox is married— a secret he guards verv carefullv His wife lives in Kentucky. Notwithstanding his pidpit duties and other en- tano-lements ' he enioys a universal reputation for earnest scholarship. Maddox possesses the chief essential to ' success— a capacity for hard work, and we predict for him a future that will honor his Alma Mater. R. Morris Wylie, A. B., ' , He would not with peremptory tone Assert the nose upon his face his own. Nevertheless Morris is a thorough student and has a scholastic record which others may envy. His base ball prowess is of no small order, as was witnessed by the manner m which his snaky curves deceived the veterans of ' 91 and ' 93. He has always been an enthusiastic supporter ot his class and enjoys the confidence and respect of all his classmates. He will probably teach and will doubtless be a successful pedagogue. Charles F. Burke, Ph. B., ' -J J, Kjianklin. But man, proud fiKtii! Dressed in a little brief uulhority. As an ofiice holder, Charlie wins the medal.

Burke has also wielded the gavel over the Athletic Association and Franklin Society, always with great dignity and dexterity. Among Denison ' s literary lights, he ranks as of first magnitude.

Man seems the only growth ilutt diriiidles h,i;re. Miss Fullerton has not always been a partaker of our joys, Imt is now safely in the fold. She is to be congratulated for her zeal in allying herself with all the advantages of membership in the class of 1904. Her genial disposition, has won her a host of friends among students and pro- fessors alike. Her society has been the gainer by her zealous work. The best wishes of her class go with her, for she has proven herself an earnest and worthy memljer. As a member of the Senior banquet committee she did much faithfid work. John L. Randall, B.

Has he not won his share of gridiron glory, is he not a pillar in Cialliope, a man of author- ity in the new Engineering Club? His executive powers have served him well as president of the Ohio Inter-Collegiate Oratorical League. Randall has always held a high rank in the class room and during his four years of residence Denison has had no muiv earnest and conscientious worker. Mabel E. Wylte, I ' li. B., Euterpean.

After digging his way through the course at Denison, the dig- ging of the Panama Canal seems a simple and easy task to Algeo. At present he is Imsy on his thesis, A successful method of bridging the gap l)etween me and my heart ' s desire, and prom- ises to make public in it some startling discoveries. I DWAiii) P).

Chamber Sopbotnorc Class Ristory. I jlXCE our worthy Juniors have given space in the famous t I edition of the Adytum for a Sophomore history, I will l j strive to give to the public an intelligent account of a certain event which occurred in this our Sophomore year, wherein one will be able to discern clearly the character and personality of the class of ' 06 collectively and indi- vidually. On Octoher the fifteenth a contest was held between the ob- streperous Freshies and this, our class. On the eve before this great day we found it expedient to remove one of the most verdant of their number and the next morning we removed two more. We do not give to the public our purpose in so doing and our action in the matter need not be questioned, owing to the high standing which we have always maintained for integrity and honesty. Suf- fice to say that it was necessary. Now, Sophomore girls are not far behind the boys in activity on such occasions and on the morning, above spoken of, we could have been found plotting deeply and with our minds full of con- jectures and strategems. Our first action was to purchase all the horns Granville could produce in order, of course, to prevent the embarassment that a Freshie might have from holding in his hands an instrument which he would not have occasion to use, and our sec- ond was to prevent any of the class from obtaining such articles from Newark. Sophomore law is law and must be abided by. We had told them that we did not wish them to carry horns and that ought to have sufficed. Wild with indignation there congregated in front of the post- office a gathering more turbulent and seething than any assembly that had ever met before. Some gnashed their teeth, some rolled their eyes, some stamped their feet, others shook their fists form- ing microscopic muscle, and others, we will excuse them, for they had not long been away from mother, even shed briny tears. Hampered in their celebration and with three of their numbers spending the day in the vast and unknown country, they were completely unable to brook their disappointment. At this critical juncture we paused with reverential awe when we contemplated the prodigious task of regenerating the Freshmen. When affairs were at their climax and every one was more or 57 1-rss disconcerted, along came ' 05 heads up, chins out and oh, how they did arouse the inert college babies. It was they who formed out of the most unpromising material a company of true and loyal men who would (if they only could) trample down every vestige of Sophomore supremacy. But we regret to say that a body to whose courage and talents most of mankind might have owed ines- timable obligation had not the tactics required to negotiate with 7 .?. A deputy was sent to our class asserting that unless we pro- duced their stolen and secreted men and horns (they class together, as both do little but make noise) they, the Freshmen, would refuse to meet us, the highly renowned Sophomores, in a contest on Beaver field. The results of a brief and stormy discussion were that there would be a contest in the morning, as none of the absent men had arranged to be in it, but no definite plans could be laid for the afternoon foot ball game. The horn matter was overlooked. So after an unimiportant and inoffensive encounter between the girls of both classes over class colors, the results of which were the over- throw of young Carn;en and the complete demolishmicnt of the Ijlue and white of the Freshmen class in the mud and water of the gutter, we all adjourned to Beaver field. I shall not narrate each event that took place in this contest, ]mt feel it sufficient to say that with our banner waving on high we cheered the boys of ' 06 to victory. There was no foot ball game in the afternoon and the evening was marked by a Sophomore party and the advent of the missing Freshmen. It would be vain fblly for me to continue citing our glories further, but allow me to say that a careful study of the comp lete records of this wonderful class would afford to anyone many valu- able lessons on a variety of topics. Time has permitted me to note but a few of these subjects, but by noticing even these few the reader may gain some slight idea of the achievements of the class of ' OG and how they were accomplished. Already we are looking forv ard to graduation. AYhen we are gone, nothing v ill be left but stubble. G. B. s. 58 fresbittan €la$$. Colors: Blue and AVhite Eah! Eah! Wah ! Wah ! Four from eleven.

Emriok William H. Fowle Harvey J. Alexander William A. Martin 65 Tresbman €la$$ l)i$tor OK a number of years, the friends of the far-famed in- stitution known to the world as Denison University had been discussing what would prove of greatest ben- efit to this seat of learning. There was a strong feel- ing that a Gymnasium, Administration building and Society halls would give a new impetus to the student life and ele- vate the already Alpine standard of the institution. With a view toward accomplishing this, new instructors were summoned from the four quarters of the globe; a new President came to lend the dignity of his presence; stately edifices were de- signed and erected — in their minds ' eye; the trustees, under the invigorating rays of the June sunshine, muttering in feeble accents, It is the cause, oli my soul, and sustaining their fast-fleeting courage with that motto, the much executed subject of High School orations : Beyond the Alps lies sunny Italy, mounted College Hill to discuss ways and means. Hopeful projects, rapidly advanced, were as rapidly crushed, and the august assemblage adjourned with new doubts and increased fears for the welfare of its Alma Mater. Tile University, however, struggled on, firmly believing that some time the cloud of uncertainty would be dispelled. The awful void remained until the autumn of 1903 when there was cause to rejoice, for the mists had cleared when the Freshman class made its appearance within the classic walls of Denison . We, at that time, realized but dimly the mighty responsibility resting upon our youthful shoulders. As we stood in line on that first registration day, the four years of work confronting us seemed interminable, and the pleasure-depriving realization that paths of wisdom are not always strewn with roses was forcibly impressed upon our innocent hearts. The Sophomores looked upon us with scorn ; the Juniors — they who should have been ready with that deep sympathy and loving aid of which we had heard so much — deigned mildly condescending glances. They did not know us yet ! The Seniors, overpowering in the dignity imparted by cap and gown, alone, ignored us utterly. But we did not despair. With that forgetfulness of self and of personal interest, with that courage, steadfastness and strength of character which have won for the class the enviable position 67 which it now holds, we rose gloriously to the occasion. Believing that in unity alone there was strength, on the fourteenth day of September the class of 1907 was formally organized and made its first bow to the public. We were somewhat disappointed that the University band ( ?) was not ordered out, and that the Faculty and students did not greet our appearance in chapel on that immortal morning by singing, Hail to the Freshman who in glory advance ! In the light of subsequent wisdom, however, we see that they did not fully realize our importance, and that the omission was due to the shortness of our acquaintance. We had been here only a short time when our influence began to be felt. We had fairly good dispositions, but we could not get along with the Sophomores, so a contest was planned to settle the question of supremacy. Affairs moved along with littlfe difficult y until the morning of the eventful day, when to our profound sorrow and consternation we learned that the stalwart youth, the revered President of our class, together with a loyal member, had been ruthlessly taken from our midst and transferred far beyond the din of the strife. Fierce anger filled each heart and our first thought was speedy revenge. But we had not been long away from the home influ- ence, and remembering the nine hundred and ninety-nine times we had been warned that descensus averno is appallingly facilis, we restrained our wrath and decided to go on with the contest. Everyone knows our generous spirit was rewarded ! A short time afterward the class was delightfully entertained at tlie home of Mr. Cornell. We are sure that the inhabitants of the metropolis of x lexandria will testify to the sweetness of our voices, and to the dignity of our conduct on that evening. Since these events there have been few ripples in the sea of Scholastic Duty. During this calm, we have toiled faithfully, filling the classrooms with exhalations of wisdom to be inhaled, through countless ages, by all who aspire to become wise. For three more years it is our privilege to sojourn within Denison ' s sheltering walls. Some of the professors, realizing in time our marked bril- liancy, may wish us to remain still another year to pursue more exhaustively the study of the brain-developing mathematics and of the unspeakable German ! Be that as it may, we shall earnestly strive to go onward and upward, our aspirations being the very prophecy of our destiny. Here ' s to the blue and white.

Conservatory of music Ristory. THE Conservatory of Music, incorporated in 1894, is the _ outgrowth of the music department of Shepardson Col- pa lege, founded many years ago, by Doctor Sliepardson. No building was set apart for musical purposes at the first, but rooms in the old Chapel and the house now occupied by the club were used for teaching and practice. In 1897 Mr. A. U. Threshner deeded his hom.e to the Trustees, with the understanding that it be used for the Conservatory. The house was immediately fitted up, and an era of more enthusiastic and efficient work began at once. About this time, Eecital Hall was built. xlround this place center the musical interests of the school and town. Besides being the scene of the first public performance of many an aspiring pupil, notable concerts have been heard here. The first director, and afterward Dean of the Conservatory, was Mr. Otto Engwerson. He came to the school in 1893 aiid was connected with the work until 1902. After his resignation. Miss Moore was appointed Dean, and served until the spring of 1903. Since that time the executive work has been shared by Mr. Judson and Miss Blinn. The names of the teachers in the Conservatory since it was founded are as follows : Mr. Otto Engwerson, voice; Miss Susan M. Moore, piano; Miss Jennie E. Blinn, voice and counterpoint; Mr. Frank Chap- man, violin; Mr. Appy, violin; Miss Clara Whissen, violin; Miss Josephine Garner, violin; Mr. Arthur Baldwin, organ; Miss Martha Roberts, organ; Mr. Arthur Judson, violin, orchestra, glee and mandolin clubs, and theoretical studies; Miss Grace Butt- piano; Mr. Frederic Cluff, organ and piano; Miss Edna Strana- than, voice; Miss Ellen Ransom, piano; Miss Elizabeth Benedict, organ and piano. In any great enterprise, the laying of foundations is of great importance. It is believed that the first ten years ' work has bteii well done. It has been the aim to make of the pupils intflliger.t musicians as Vi ell as musical performers, and- many of the alumn: are doing good work as teachers and musical leaders. A part of the expense for the recent improvements in the parlors and prac- tice rooms was met by contributions from former pupils. A dream which we hope m.ay be realized ten years from now. is of a new building, with solid walls and sunny rooms, a well- stocked library, pictured halls, and a place for all who come— a liome fitting and fitted for upholding a high standard of art. A word by way of tribute to Mr. Engwerson ' s life and work may well be added. The influence of his teaching in our school and in the state was very great. The emphasis laid upon foun- dation work and the earnestness and patience with which he in- sisted upon the essential things, made his teaching, in these times, very unusual. As a conductor, his personality held and helped the perform- ance to a satisfactory ending, compelling the singers often to outdo themselves. As for the voice, the beautiful voice, which was so capable of expressing joy or sorrow, we can not believe that it i? hushed forever. Cut ofi ' in the midst of a life of great usefulness, many Denison friends mourn Mr. Engwerson ' s death. Jennie E. Bltnn. 81 1). Dale Condit C. Smith Rosalie S. Hisey Charles B. Patt R. H. Fkazee K.

NOT long since, a discussion was current in the sporting col- umns of certain newspapers as to whether Denison Uni- versity was or was not eligible to the ranks of the so- called Big Six in Ohio athletics. It is gratifying that in most instances Denison was enthusiastically sup- ported. Our base ball record of last spring and the splendid show- ing of the fall placed us in a class above most of the small colleges and made us fit rivals of Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan and the State University. These colleges themselves have, by ac- tions which speak louder than words, confessed it. We have again the promise of a winning nine this year, a seasoned eleven next fall, and all things presage the continuance of Denison ' s pre-eminence. The underlying causes are not far to seek. Handicapped though we are by the lack of systematic drill in gymnastics, there is a strong feeling in the student body favorable to active work in the field so that one often sees a more numerous squad of players during practice than is expected at a larger school. Many a fellow unfamed as yet in the columns of the Denisonian has contributed his best to the success of the team; indeed, it would be hard to express our debt to the disparaged scrubs . Then again the enthu- siasm and love which is felt by every undergraduate and alumnus for their alma mater finds expression usually in an active support of athletics. Not a few have given money at the cost of personal sacrifice. And who does not know what a sturdy heikie has done for a discouraged team? Enthusiasm and personal effort have done wonders for Denison athletes in the past but it needed the coming of Frank Stanton as baseball and foot ball coach to attain our present standing. Dur- ing the two years of his work with us he has done much to make a thoroughly reliable and experienced team and has gained for him- self the reputation of being one of the best foot-ball coaches in the state. After all is said, however, there is not the universal participa- tion in athletics which is desirable for the health and strength of the individual student. Many of us get no exercise whatever except for the daily climb up the hill or perhaps an occasional walk in the country. The new gymnasium will remedy this to a great extent. It will provide the means for the all round development needed by every student. It will furnish a practice ground for the teams dur- ing inclement weather. It will enable us to play that king of indoor games, basket-ball. We may even look forward to a track team and a revival of the inter-collegiate meets which have in the past made Denison famous. There is no limit to the possibilities. We need the gym. How long, 0 Lord, how long! R. w. s. 90 EthlUk dissociation. ©fflcer$. Gale Seaman, ' 05 George E. Howell, ' 06 Guy C. Crippen, ' 07 Abe F.

Edna E. Thornton. HEN I ' ll call Saturday at three and bring Bob with me. Jack turned reluctantly away from the steps of Smith Hall, the girl ' s Dorm., and strolled leisurely across the campus towards the frat house, bouncing a ball on his tennis racket to the time of the tune he was whist- ling. Even in his slow step there was something which told of the hidden power and energy which Jack Allen pos- sessed. Handsome? No, not exactly that, yet wherever he went friends and strangers watched and admired him. Tall, broadshoul- dered, athletic, black hair and gray eyes, strong features, universally popular and an acknowledged leader in college and fraternity affairs. As he walked along a shadow crossed his brow in spite of the merry tune he v histled. Now what have I done that Eleanor should be so confound- edly cool lately? he mused half aloud. I can ' t tbi nk of a thino ' that would offend her and she ' s not the girl to be angry at nothing, but sTiuclis, you can ' t tell, girls are mighty queer creatures anyway you fix it. I ' m sure I don ' t care particularly whether she is cool or not, and with this consoling fib he quickened his pace and ran lightly up the steps to the chapter house. The great elms casting their long, dark shadows over the beautiful old campus, the pretty -little lake in the distance and the stately college buildings in the foreground, all formed an exquisite setting for the slender, beautiful girl leaning against a stone pillar of the porch Jack had just left. Eleanor Pixley was a typical college girl, strong, vigorous, full of life and ambition. Nature had kindly endowed her with rich, golden-brown hair, beautiful laughing eyes and an irresistable charm. Snatches of the tune which the slowly disappearing boy was whistKng came back to her. Oh, the girl, the girl, the pretty little girl, the girl I left behind me. A smile half amused, half sad flitted over her face. Dear old Jack, how she loved him, a great deal more than most girls love their own brothers, but there the affection stopped. It could go no farther. On the other hand she felt that Jack was growing to think 101 altogether too much of her. He had never told her this, perhaps he did not realize it himself and yet she knew. They had been friends since the time when he drew her dolls in his little red wagon np and down the walk. They had started to school hand in hand and had graduated from High School in the same class. It had been their youthful dream to go to college together and this had been realized. That was a year ago. Now here he was going to spoil their ideal friendship with his foolish- ness. How could she prevent it? She had thought it over many times lately and at last had come to the conclusion that she must turn matchmaker and force him to love some other girl. Just the thing, but the next question was where to find the girl. Jack had never seemed to care for any of the nice girls who were in school the year before. He was so hard to please and she knew he wouldn ' t like any of the new girls no matter how pretty or stylish or nice they might be. All at once Eleanor started. Well, if I ' m not crazy! Here I ' ve forgotten the only girl Jack Allen would ever look at, my roommate, too, and the dearest, prettiest girl in college. Eleanor ' s friendship with Louise Warsford had not been a long one but it was very close and dear. During vacation they had spent several weeks together in the mountains and it took very little persuading on Eleanor ' s part before Louise promised to come to college in the fall and room with her. Eleanor shrugged her shoulders impatiently. Here it ' s a week since school opened and Jack and Louise haven ' t met. It ' s just like me to forget the very best friends I have, of course, but they shall meet soon, and, Jack Allen, if you don ' t fall desperately in love with Louise Warsford right away, I ' ll never have anything to do with you again. Elea- nor shook her head threateningly in the direction of the chapter house, then turned and went slowly upstairs. As she opened the door, a very whirlwind of words greeted her from the pretty, graceful girl lying back among the gorgeous pil- lows on the low window seat. Well, Eleanor Pixley, why didn ' t you stay out there and talk all night to that handsome Mr. Allen, when you knew I was just dying to see you ? By the way, I think you might introduce me to him some time. But never mind, that wasn ' t what I intended to say at all. Have you heard of that Mr. Brelford, Robert Brelford, who just entered this year? Eleanor nodded. He must be the one Jack spoke of this afternoon. The frats are all rushing him and Jack is going to bring him up to call Saturday. Is he nice? Nice? That ' s not the word. He is grand. I met him this afternoon. He is just the kind of a boy you would like, Eleanor, tall, dark, strong looking, with frank, rather sad eyes, but poor thing, he ' s — Well, go on, what is the matter with him ? He ' s lame, walks with a cane all the time and probably will never be cured. But he is just as jolly and cheerful through it all. Think what a fine foot and base ball player he would make, and Louise, who was an enthusiastic supporter of athletics, sighed. Saturday came and Eleanor took Louise down to help enter- 102 tain the boys. Nothing could have succeeded better. Jack seemed to be taken at once with the attractive Louise and Eleanor was left to talk of Mr. Brelford, by no means an unpleasant or difficult task, for he was so interesting and bright that the time flew marvellously fast. As Louise had prophesied, he was just the boy whom Eleanor admired and she found herself wondering what there was in his face that appealed to her so strongly. On the whole, the first afternoon was but a beginning of many happy days which the four spent together. There were dates for tennis when Jack, Eleanor and Louise played while Bob umpired, until Eleanor was tired, and then Jack and Louise umpired for themselves. There were drives, walks, and rows on the lake. Peo- ple grew tired of wondering when they saw Louise instead of Eleanor with Jack and when one day Louise came in wearing a dainty frat pin no one was greatly surprised. That night when she kissed her roommate goodnight, Louise said pointing shyly to the pin, You don ' t mind, do you, dear ? and as Eleanor looked at the happy face turned towards hers, she answered softly, Louise, if there was one thing above all others that I wished for you, it was that you should know and love this dear big brother of mine. Did she care or regret the step she had taken that bright September afternoon ? For an answer there came to her a vision of a strong, noble face and a pair of brown eyes full of sweet cheerfulness, as she had heard the story of the accident which had crippled for life the great, strong body of Robert Brel- ford. How lightly he had passed over the whole affair, making it as unimportant as possible, and yet she knew that but for his re- maining to rescue a little child he would have escaped the falling timber which had injured his hip. It was the last night before commencement day and the Delta Kappas were entertaining their friends at the chapter house. The rooms were crowded and warm and many were strolling back and forth on the porch. Eleanor and Bob, together as usual, had come to the door for a breath of air, and without thinking had walked farther and farther until they had almost reached the lake. How beautiful it was in the moonlight and how inviting the little rustic seat on the shore. They sat in silence for a few minutes while Bob absently threw pebbles into the lake. At last to break the stillness, Eleanor spoke. Did you see the jewelled pin Louise is wearing tonight ? .1 wondered if she and Jack would get far enough along for that before she went home. Quite a little scheme, wasn ' t it, to break the news so gently ? First the pledge pin, then a stick pin and now this jewelled one. It ' s a beauty, too, about the pret- tiest I ever saw. Jack looks happy, doesn ' t he? I thought he would shake my hand off tonight when I spoke to him. Elea.nor struggled vainly to continue the conversation and then gave it up. Why wouldn ' t Boh talk? Silence was not exactly pleasant just then. But when the quiet was broken she would have given any- thing to have continued it. What a mixture of bitterness and sadness in the voice. She had never heard Bob speak like that before. Do you know, Elea- nor, sometimes when I get to thinking about the matter it seems to me that things are very unevenly divided in this world. Look at Jack, popular, strong, and well, able to live up to his ambitions and, as you have just said, perfectly happy. Vvhat else is there for him to wish for ? God knows I don ' t begrudge him his happi- ness. Jack Allen is the best friend I have ever known and his joy is very dear to me, yet look at me. What have I to look forward to or live for ? I am v ell and strong all but my hip, and yet I can ' t go out and work as I ' d like to. Eleanor, you don ' t knov how I long sometimes to throw my cane av ay and go for one mad run across the fields, to get out and play ball and help the team win. What good does my money do me? I ' d give it all to be able to go about as Jack docs. Do you remember the first day I met you when Jack and I came np to call? I thought that day you were the dearest girl I had ever known and I ' ve gone on thinking so ever since only in a better, more earnest way. I hoped that some day I might be as happy as Jack is now and that you might grow sometime — His voice broke and a great sob shook his body. What am I say- ing? ' ' he exclaimed bitterly. What girl, beautiful and attractive, would ever care for a poor crippled wretch like me? ' ' He leaned his head on his cane and the silence began again, but this time Eleanor was too dazed to notice it. The mist had suddenly cleared and she knew now that Eobert Brelford, crippled as he Vv as, was more to her than anything else in the world. How she longed to comfort him, but no, he had not said enough to warrant that. She must sit still and see him bear it alone. At last he rose and his voice shook with his effort at self control. You are getting cold, Eleanor, I ' m a brute to keep you out here so long. Let ' s go back to the house. And then in the morning came the telegram saying that Elea- nor ' s mother was very ill and that she must come at once. Noon found her fast speeding homeward and the following week she was sailing for Europe. The illness had been short but severe and the doctor had ordered mother and daughter to Europe for a maich needed change. Two years have passed away and Eleanor and her mother are only now returning home. Two years filled with longing to go home and see Louise and the dear old University, two years filled with a sense of her duty and love for her mother. But now the time has come and they are going home. Strange that Louise had not written. Eleanor had received but two letters from her and then the correspondence had stopped. The excuse was plain enough. Mrs. Pixley was restless and th ey moved from place to place so rapidly that it was almost impossible for mail to reach them. But immediately after landing a long letter found its way to the little college town and the answer soon came inviting Eleanor to spend Commencement. Louise and Jack were seniors. But where v as Bob ? Hov. well she remembered that last night and the strange thrill of joy she had felt at his stormy words. It was noon when she reached the dear old village. It seem.ed in some ways but a few weeks since she had left it that June day two years ago. Louise met her at the depot and in a few minutes kisses and explanations were all finished and they were on their way to the hall. 104 The base ball game between the rival teams for the state championship was scheduled for that afternoon and stopping only long enough to clean up a little, Louise and Eleanor were soon at the field. The grandstands were packed, banners waved and the college yells made the air resound. Before the girls were fairly seated the game commenced. Eleanor glanced at the batting list. Allen, pitcher (that was Jack), James shortstop, Banton first base, Brelford catcher. The score card trembled in her hand. It wasn ' t so very strange after all. There were many Brelfords in the world. Here the catcher came to bat. Eleanor heard two men talking near by. This Brelford ' s a great player — best on the team — captain — look at that hit, and Eleanor saw the runner sliding to second base. The playing went on and as Brelford came to bat she longed to ask Louise who he was, but she hated to bother her deeply interested companion. The score stood 3 to 2 and the rival team failed in its half of the ninth inning. Allen at bat and in an instant he was at first and then stole second. The next two players struck out and again Brelford came to bat. Now, Bobby, it ' s up to you, Pick a good one, Bob, came from all sides. Eleanor started and looked closely at the batter. There was something familiar about him and yet how foolish it was to let her imagination run away with her. Eobert Brelford was a cripple for life. Strike one! the umpire called, and a groan came from the crowd. Then there was a crack of the bat on the ball and far away sped the tiny sphere. The crowd went wild. Now Allen was in and then just as the ball came bounding home Brelford slid. The score was 4 to 2. High on the shoulders of the fellows the captain was lifted and then as he took off his cap to the cheering crowd, Louise heard a little gasp behind her. Eleanor was pale as a ghost. That isn ' t Bob Brelford ? Louise nodded. I wondered if you ' d recog- nize him. That ' s the reason I didn ' t tell you about him before. I wanted to surprise you and I flatter myself that I ' ve done it. Eleanor dear, he is entirely cured and he is by far the most popular man in the school. How did it happen? Oh, you have heard of that great surgeon in Berlin, haven ' t you ? He came over to Amer- ica about a year and a half ago and when Bob consulted him, said there was one chance in a hundred for the cure. The other ninety- nine meant death. Bob took the chance and there ' s the result. Louise pointed to the baseball hero. He doesn ' t know you ' re here. I was afraid to tell him for fear he ' d lose the game. His nerves might get unstrung, you know. That evening the Smith Hall girls were giving a reception to the ball teams. Bob, I want you to meet a friend of mine who is visiting me. Louise was talking to Bob Brelford. She ' s over here, and Louise led him to a cozy corner. Mr. Brelford, Miss Pixley, and then they were alone. An hour later two figures were strolling slowly across the campus towards the lake. There was no limp now and no cane. The faces of the two were filled with happiness. This time Bob broke the silence. Eleanor, do you remember that night two years ago when we were here in this very seat and what I said? She nodded. I shall never forget how bitter I was then, he continued, But now the bitterness is all gone. I can say tonight with more hope what I said then, but I want to ask one thing. Could you have answered me that night, Eleanor, as I want you to answer tonight? And then she told him. The music of the orchestra stole softly out to them on the gentle evening breeze. The moon shone brightly and stooped to kiss a thousand little waves on the surface of the tiny lake. missing tbe mark. BY EDWARD EARLE PURINTON. HE master bowman wings his arrows true. His matchless skill Had pierced the slimmest target through and through Transfixed at will. But let the sun withdraw its limpid light And shadows fall And swiftly merge in gloom the nascent night And black the pall Of midnight darkness wrap the earth in shroud ; No archer then Can lift from off his arms the cumbrous cloud Whose burden men Must bear until another dawning day. If now his bow He turn and twang toward what had been his prey The shaft falls low And wide the mark. For Night has clutched his hand And hid his aim And made the master marksman lose command And blush with shame. Thus also fails at times the winged soul Its prize to win And when the longing lags to nurse its dole We call it sin. But sin is merely missing some one mark The soul had set. And that because there broods sojne shadow dark ; Then why regret? For just as men must tread the cycle round Of dusk and dawn Before the Timeless have their efforts crowiied Of brain or brawn; So night and day must ever alternate With sure return Upon the soul that aims for lofty Fate Some boon to earn. Eebuke you not — if once your aim bave failed By sin depressed; But— till your knowledge — dawn shall have prevailed Lie still, and rest. 106 Tn Pbantasv. HERE are beautiful pictures that liang on my walls Of knights and ladies and castles and halls, But the dearest by far that come to me Are the pictures and paintings in phantasy. Sometimes as I sit in the gathering gloom And the cold and the chill is filling the room, Then the pictures grow dim that hang on my walls And over my being a stillness falls, Then into my spirit the infinite steals, My mind wanders wide o ' er meadows and hills, No longer the trouble and sorrow I see The world is open in Phantasy.

Are you snre this train is all right? You know we were in such a hurry, exclaimed Elizabeth, before they were fairly seated in the car. Why, yes, it ' s all right, Beth. The agent said we would get there only half an hour later. You know this flyer doesn ' t make every stop. But girls, whispered Meg, have you thought that Miss Bannister didn ' t know we were not with the other girls? She will be frantic when she finds it out. Well, Meggie, don ' t worry about that. I understand this is not quite the ordinary thing, but it was unavoidable, you know , replied Marion. It was the morning of a holiday. All the girls had been in-- vited to a celebration at the home of an old Euterpe, a graduate 108 of the year before. The faculty had given consent, provided a chaperone, set the time for departure and return, and indeed looked after all arrangements. In spite of every precaution, how- ever, these three girls had been separated from the others in Co- lumbus and had missed the train. The conductor is coming Marion, get out our tickets! The car door had just been opened by a tall, severe-looking man who immediately approached them, as there were few other new passengers. When does the train reach Charlestown ? asked Marion. At about 10 :30 Madam, wi-th no st op. No stop ! echoed the girls. He looked at them more closely. This train is a limited be- tween Cleveland and Cincinnati. Makes only one stop after Columbus. The agent didn ' t say it was a through train. I understood that it stopped at Charlestown. We must get off there. It is against the rules, Madam, for jSTo. 37 to make an extra stop. I ' ve never known it to stop for anything in the four year; I ' ve had the run. It is due in Cincinnati at 2:15 sharp to con- nect with the Eastern Express at 2 :30. But what shall we do? demanded Marion. We intended to take the train before this with a party of girls, but were left at Columbus, and I understood that this train reached Charlestown a half-hour later. Marion thought she saw an amused look on hi; face as he said, I will see what can be done. Madam, and left the car. 0 Marion, Elizabeth cried, we never can go to Cincinnati. It ' s a hundred miles farther. We couldn ' t get back before Mon- day and I have only two dollars. And what will Miss Bannister say to us? wailed Meg. 0 girls, he ' ll surely let us off ! He didn ' t look so stern just at the last; but if— Just then the conductor hurried in, Here, hand me your suit cases. We ' re right at Charlestown. There! All off! The train was moving. Take first street east! Good time! and with a wave of the hand he was whirled from their sight. 0 wasn ' t he great! exclaimed Marion. J ust a dear, laughed Elizabeth, but what made him do it ? But why, Meg demanded, did he say ' take the first street east ' ? I believe he knew we were on a lark. After enthusiastic greetings, their hostess looking rather per- plexed, asked, Marion, what train did you say you three came over on? Do you remember the number? ' ' Why no, I don ' t believe I do. Yes you do, interrupted Meg. He said, ' No. 37 ' . Thirty-seven ! Why, my father has the through run from Cleveland to Cincinnati. He knew I was going to have you girls over ; but he ' s awfully strict on the road and he ' d never seen you, — 0, I know. Did you girls have on your pins? Of course we did, chimed the three. That was it, said Marion, I saw a twinkle in his eye. now- Hurrah for Euterpe ! shouted Meg. Every one of you Euterpe, Euterpe, we are true, Rippity ! zip ! kizip ! kizoo !

NCE when the lion displayed his brute streiigtli Prowess his hugeness had earned him, Stretching his form to its full tawny length Two little Larks thus discerned him. One little Lark puffed his chest bravely out Pluming his feathers and posing, Hoping thereby to the birds roundabout His prowess to be disclosing. Quietly, softly, most modestly small Answered the other with singing Lion ' s bold challenge, nor cared so to call For the world ' s praises loud-ringing. Lion and Lark that swelled like him were left Each to his posing and pluming. Both of the world ' s scant attention, bereft Nursed their pose, proudly presuming. But to the Lark that just warbled a song Multitudes turned, in their sadness Sweetened and lirightened, they Journeyed aloii Thanking the Lark for new gladness. Just like another — a poor servile mine Thus attempts weak Imitation. Housed by each life to a self more suldime Thus attains bold Emulation. Ill OW streaming, silver bright, Tlie moon light, placid, soft. Is stealing o ' er the night On its way thus treaded oft. Long hushed the song of the lark. The cricket sings his lays, The falling leaves now mark The close of summer days. Glad, happy, — through m.eads I stroll, now brown and sere, Along a path that leads To a brooklet, cool and clear. Often in the sunset glow I ' ve sat at the water ' s edge Of this brooklet, rippling low Along its rocky ledge. Its chiming through the dell, Heard in the moon-light gleam, Holds fast my thoughts l)y spell Like some fond childish dream. Brooklet, stay, amidst these trees, Within this lovely lea. Raise thy song upon the breeze To the flowers and to me. Thy songs o ' er stones thus mossed In beauty green are for me. Thy music sweet e ' er lost Shall be on the stormy sea. Life, passing like this stream Art thou ! Thy summer ' s eve Gone by, — the mystic dream Of time soon takes its leave. Hope, with golden splendor cast, A beacon light before, Guides on life ' s storm beaten craft Towards the Elysian shore. BY EDWARD EARLE PURINTON. LISTENED one day as I hurnecl along Amid the acclaim of the chattering throng To something that rose From out my heart ' s throes One word : — Alone. Their bodies brushed past with a jolt and a jar That heaved the hot multitude hither and far Amid their soul ' s sob I felt a Voice throb That stirred My own. Alone in the city, alone on the plain Kin souls though I seek ' tis forever in vain. The world is a blank Its darkness so dank That I Must flee. Though babble invite me and rabble sweep on I bide unperturbed. In a trice they are gone. All cosmos but seem Ephemeral dreams All die Save me. Alone from the moment that chaos first whirled Alone till the crashing of every mad world. I Spirit, I Only Immortal am lonely? Nowhere, Nowhen. From out the dim eons majestic I lead The other ' s vast vortex whence planets proceed. Shall I my force choking My course be revoking To care For men? 113 H Reminiscence. OH Heilotrope, blest little flower, That toward the light through many an hour Hast turned, and thus for Philo ' s path iUEhShI Been as a guide; thy leading hath In other years been wise and true. How hast thou lead her this year through? One step from out the dark was made. When, with the faculty ' s kind aid. The news went forth to every youth That Friday evening ' s course, forsooth, Was changed, — and that he must remain Outside of Philo ' s fair domain. His presence there, beyond a doubt. Had caused the maidens all to flout At every sober serious thought. That entertainment might be sought For him, in light and frivolous vein To suit his superficial brain. When he was gone, forthwith ensued Such bulks of literary food That list ' ners with astonishment Sat dazed, and with a weak assent Tried hard to swallow now and then, Some draughts from genius ' fertile pen. Yet, on occasion, Philo stooped To public taste; her members trooped Forth as Mongolians, — brightly clad Dispelling whatever thoughts were sad On recent Oriental strife. And led the Jap ' s bright, happy life. Yet notwithstanding every stride Thus made in progress, still no pride Should swell our breasts. A single thread Holds Philo from destruction dread, — ' Tis hoped that, ' spite of every blast Next year she ' ll have a home — at last ! 114 ( Cicero Irving Citcrary Societies. firaitvilK College: Franklin Calliopean Shcpardson College: euterpean Philomathean 117 Cicero F.

HE oldest extant records of what is now the Cicero Liter- ary Society give the year 1851 as the date of organiza- tion. In 1860 the society was re-organized. Better lit- erary work resulted, but there was a lack of that incen- tive to work which inter-society rivalry brings. In 1883 a faction withdrew from Cicero, and organized the Irving Literary Society. Under this added stimulus the society has gone on doing better work which has shown and will show in the lives of its alumni. During the past year changes have been made in the Cicero Hall. New carpet, new curtains and other improvements speak well for the loyalty and devotion of Cicero ' s members. In this work many loyal alumni were of material assistance, and much gratitude is due them. Within the year, a fine bust of Cicero, the gift of E. H. Jesson, a former Ciceronian, has been unveiled in Cicero Hall, where it will stand as a continual stimulus to future Ciceronians. 131 Irving Ristory, THE Irving Literary Society of Doane Academy is the youngest of all the societies on the hill, but she is ranked today as one of the strongest and most progressive in J the University. The standard of her work has always been high, and of late years, unusually so. To her motto,, We are one, may be attributed one cause of her success. Here, as in every case, it has been necessary to hang together to produce the desired results in literary work. Irving was founded by seven men who had withdrawn from Cicero in the spring of 1883, one hundred years from the birth of Washington Irving, ' from whom the society took its name. During the first few years following its organization, the society was obliged to hold its meetings in various r ecitation rooms, and some- times in the students ' own rooms. In 1894, at the dedication of their new halls, the two societies, Irving and Cicero, inaugurated the svstem of annual contests which still offer the strongest incen- tives to a higher quality of work. Ten contests have been held in all, and eight times has Irving carried off the laurels, losing to her opponents in 1896 and 1901 only. In addition to this contest, Irving renders three public pro- grams every year; the Thanksgiving Extra, the Annual, at the close of the winter term, and the Commencement Exercises in June. It is also the custom of the society to give a banquet, in the spring term. Last year, a need being felt for some distinguished badge, a pin which is reproduced above, was adopted. And now, after a slow but steady growth of twenty years, Irving has 380 names on her pledge roll, and twenty-eight active members. From existing conditions and the spirit shown by the society, there is every reason to predict for her the same growth and a bright future, E. B. C. 132 f ratilcliti HE Franklin Literary Society was founded in 1841. Tlie record made by this society since her founding has been one which would not make our patron saint ashamed of his namesake. The work done this year has been of such a character as not to fall below the standard which has been set by the society in the past. In the con- test last spring with her sister society, she won the debate and essay, thus causing the laurels to fall to Franklin. This victory seemed to inspire her members with a desire and zeal for good hard and conscientious work for this year. The Society at present numbers about forty members, there being twenty-one taken in this year. All these new men have shown a desire for work, and where this kind of spirit is prevalent, literary work is bound to flourish. Notwithstanding the fact that we have this large membership, we have been able to have each one appear on the program at least four times a term. ry Society Great interest has been taken this year in all lines of literary work. This is especially true along the line of essay and debate. The questions chosen for debate have been questions of the present day, and have been treated in such a manner as to be deserving of much credit. The good attendance this year has been one notica- ble feature of the society. The members have not only shown a desire to be present at each meeting, but also, to take part in the program. Although the Society has been deprived of its regular assem- bly hall, nevertheless she has found good accommodations in one of the recitation rooms in Doane Hall. Franklin is looking forward to next year, when she expects to be located in her hall in the new Y. M. C. A. building. With this new hall, and the excellent material which has been added this year, the outlook for Franklin in the future can not lielp but be one of success as it ever has been in the past. O. C. M. I HE Calliopean Literary Society has a noble past. From the dawn of Denison ' s history she has played a promi- nent part in the life of the institution. Her original object, The cultivation of the intellectual and im- provement of the moral character, set her mark high and attracted to her halls the best sons of the university; so that now she numbers among her alumni scholars, statesmen, judges, educators, divines and business men eminent both in char- acter and attainment. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Calliope stands for the benefit of fellowship and the quickening power of clash and mind with mind. By her public programs consisting of essays, orations, and renditions and friendly criticism of the participants she trains her members in the art of expression and refines their literary tastes. Calliope believes in hard work as a condition of excellence — per aspera ad astra — and only thus has she gained her enviable position and won her many victories in eloquence and in demonstrative and forensic oratory. The extra of March 2nd was worthy of the high praise which it elicited and evidences that Calliope has not lost her former vigor. The Muse still inspires members. There was clear thinking, beauty of expression and passionate eloquence. These things presage good for her in the coming days and assure us that in the contests of the future she will deport herself with honor. E. E. B. 134 THC GRIP.

' TT HE Young Men ' s Christian Association is one of the old-  1 t ' st student organizations in Denison, and it is not too ! n uch to say that no other has exercised so potent an influence for good upon so large a part of the student body. Standing, as it does, at the very center of the religious life of the institution, its importance can hardly be over- estimated. Other organizations are of great benefit to special classes of students, but the Y. M. C. A. meets a need in the life of every man. It is the one organization which is large enough and unselfish enough to contain all the others without friction. ' The young man in college has peculiar needs and peculiar temptations both in the realm of the body and of the mind. The Y. M. C. A. supplies these needs in a very effective way, and is a mighty agency in enabling the student to live a life of victory over temptation. It holds up to the college man, as an ideal, an all-round development of body, mind and spirit. At that critical stage in his development when he is changing from the boy to the man, the Y. M. C. A. furnishes him with that spontaneous, rugged, virile type of the Christian life which wins his admir- ation and commands his respect. Our association here has always labored under difficulties l)ecause of the lack of a building and of a secretary, but neverthe- less it has gone steadily forward to the large place of influence and power which it now occupies, and it has always done work which commands respect in the state. Our v, ork in Bible Study has been especially effective. At present a strenuous effort is being made to bring the systematic study of missions up to the degree of prominence so long enjoyed by the Bible Study department. The work for new students also deserves special mention. For a number of years prospective students have been corresponded with, and almost to a man, met at the cars and carefully looked after ' till settled and at home. Our long-looked for building will, within a year, be a reality, and in many ways our prospects for larger usefulness in the future are very bright. J. S. West. 154 Cbe Denison V. 01. €.

Stickney BiRNEY E. Trask Miss Clara A. Davies Thomas L. AVatson The Scientific Association was founded in 1887 by Professor C. L. Herrick, its principal aims being, in the words of the consti- tution: (a) To afford opportunity for the interchange of ideas by those interested in the various sciences; (b) To collect, record and disseminate information bearing on the sciences: (c) To stimulate interest in local natural history and preserve notes and specimens illustrating the same. The official sections of the Asso- ciation include the following subjects: (1) Geology and Palaeon- tology; (2) Photography; (3) Biology and Microscopy; (4) Chemistry and Mineralogy; (5) Physics and Astronomy; (6) Philology, Ethnology and Explorations; (7) Pure and Applied Mathematics. Membership is open to faculty and students under like conditions, and to others of the community who may be inter- ested in the work of the Association. Meetings of the Association are held bi-weekly on alternate Saturday evenings during term time for the discussion of scientific subjects of general interest. Covering as they do so wide a range of scientific subjects, the programs furnish excellent opportunity for supplementing in a very substantial way the regular work of 158 the class room and laboratory. From its inception, the Association has been the means of arousing interest in scientific work in gen- eral and of stimulating a desire for original scientific investigation. To this end the Scientific Association is recognized as an important factor in the scientific work of the college. PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION. The Bulletin of the Scientific Laboratory of Denison Uni- versity, edited by the Permanent Secretary of the Association, is the official organ of the Scientific Association. It affords oppor- tunity for the publication of original work by instructors and stu- dents of the several scientific departments of the college. The Bulletin is now in its twelfth volume. It includes 75 separate articles already issued, which vary in length from a few pages to more than seventy-five pages, illustrated in many cases by text- figures, maps and plates. The library of the Scientific Association is a large one and it contains an extensive collection of literature on the various scien- tific subjects, gathered from all parts of the civilized world. Its serial and other scientific literature is constantly being enriched by the principal scientific journals and publications in America and foreign countries, through the exchange lists of the Bulletin and the Journal of Comparative Neurology and Psychology.

The object of this Association is to stimulate a unified inter- est in the various lines of linguistic and literary work carried on in Dennison University. Papers may be presented on any phase of language, literature or art related to the work of the various language departments, and these papers are open to free discus- sion, after they are read. As a secondary object, the Association seeks to promote a more careful use of the mother tongue among the members of the University. No m.embership fee is required, and students and teachers are alike eligible to present papers and join in their discussion. While the language departments were primarily in mind in organizing the Association, its meetings are open to all.

Pace, ' 03 Prof. B. E. Trask (honorary) When Prof. Trask took charge of the Civil Engineering De- partment of onr college last fall, lie started in his work with an enthusiasm which was contagious. The interest aroused along ity and the opening of the winter term showed a very substantial increase in the number of enrollments in the engineering studies. The mechanical drawing room was fitted up again and an engineer- ing library started and these things tended to bring the distinct- ively engineering students more closely in touch with each other. About this time Prof. Trask began to appreciate the advant- ages, almost the necessity of forming some kind of an organization among the engineering students. He discussed the idea with some of the more advanced students in his department and the result was that the project was broached to tlie students in general. The plan met with universal favor. The students were enthusiastic aboiit it and as a result the Engineering Society of Denison Uni- versity was organized on February the 26th, 1904. The purpose of this society is by no means to lessen the stu- dents ' interest in the Scientific Association but rather to strengthen it as far as possible. It is the purpose of the society to hold regu- l.ar meetings every two weeks during the school year. At these meetings there are given regular programs consisting of two or three papers prepared by members of the society or addresses by engineers from other places. This program is followed by in- formal discussion of any engineering topics of interest. It is not intended to limit the membership of the society to the strictly engineering students but all who are taking work along such lines are privileged to join. The meetings are open and all those who are interested in engineering subjects are invited to attend. One of the objects of this society is to collect a library of books and periodicals treating of engineering subjects and this library has been well begun through the efforts of Prof. Trask. It now contains a considerable number of valuable volumes and a large number of government and city reports on engineering subjects, together with a number of magazines on engineering. The library is located in the north end of the Mechanical Drawing Eoom and a reading table has been placed there, on which may be found a large number of the latest and best scientific and engineering periodicals which have been subscribed for by the society. If anything may be prophesied from the present indications, the Egineering Society is destined to continue to grow and to become one of the most important institutions of our college. 162 Cbe JIrt Department. |HEPAEDSON Art Department, always aspiring, recently obeyed the command to come up higher, by aban- doning the picturesque Attic Studio on the third floor of Deming Hall, for the less conventional though more comfortable and convenient quarters which it now occu- pies on the second floor of East Dorm. It was a bold flight, but once accomplished, it is well worth the additional effort of the ascent. Though one may seem to be in imminent danger of heart failure from the stiff little climb up the hill, there is not even a remote fear of gas failure. The rooms are large, lofty, well lighted and well ventilated, while the view from the campus amply repays the lover of nature for any undue exertion. Indeed, Nature, always considerate and kindly toward her true lovers, lessens the effort and increases the pleasure with each succeeding visit. In a college studio it is not always quite easy to determine whether it is Art for Art ' s Sake, Art for Truth ' s Sake, or Art for the Artist ' s Sake, though it can be safely stated that Shepardson Art Department is well equipped with all that goes to the training of an Artist.

I have seen you walking on the street with him on the average of once a week, and the other day word came to me that he had walked across the campus with you. The other teachers and professors ' wives have spoken to me repeatedly, asking what stand you took in the matter. You have been here again and again asking me to give my per- mission to go with him. You have asked for two dates a month regularly, and I see by the book he has called on you three times in the last six weeks. Wliat will the people out in town think when they see one of our girls time after time with the same young man? I have always depended upon you and looked upon you as one of our stronger girls and I do expect you to control the situa- tion. Do you feel that you know this young man well enough to talk it over with him and tell him that although you respect him very much you think that your acquaintance has gone as far as it can without endangering the happiness of you both ? Nellie, what are your relations to this young man ? Nellie (hesitatingly). — Why — just give him time. Dean (glaring). — This is no jesting matter. You can reason yourself into believing anything. You cannot go on in this way without lowering your ideals. There must be something vitally 172 wrong if you view the matter in this light. Do you think your parents would approve of your conduct in this matter? (With tears running down her cheeks) I was so glad at the end of last year that I could write to your parents and tell them how beauti- fully you were fitting into the life here. Nellie. — If we only had rules for everything it would be so much easier. There are so many we never hear of until we break them. Dean (sternly). — Nellie, are you a child? Nellie. — No, but I think as one grows older and sees more of the world she looks at things differently. Dean (interrupting). — Nellie, I am not so very old. (Hasty apologies from Nellie.) Dean. — Don ' t you see that your position is not right? Don ' t you see where it is leading you ? Well — I think you may go to hear Dr. Hanchett this time, but I shall expect you to be very careful in the future. Is that all? Nellie. — Yes. Thank you very much.

Of course I didn ' t want to do anything the Dean wouldn ' t like, so I waited, but that rule is crazy. 1 was so afraid the place would be full before I got there. As there are only two parlors, the first two callers leave their overshoes by the door and anyone who sees two pairs outside, must wait. I ' m sure I shouldn ' t mind having others in the room, but they say it isn ' t the custom here. Anyhow I was scared to a peanut ' for fear two would get ahead of me, and as soon as I shook hands I asked Mr. Blank whether he had remembered his overshoes. He looked rather queer and said it was a fine day. I didn ' t see the connection, but then I had a lovely time and Mr. Blank is dandv. He gave me a hid to the next foot-ball game and of course I ' m going. When T told Edith how he acted about the overshoes she howled and called me a goose and said the girls had been stuffing me. I feel so ashamed ! Wonder what Mr. Blank thinks of me. Well, I ' ll know better than to believe things after this. Oct. 16, ' 03. I saw my first foot-ball game today and it was immense. Edith, Mr. Jones, Mr. Blank and I drove and we had an exquisite time. During the game I was so excited that I kept waving my horn and trying to toot my flag. I acted like a regular prep, and the folks said they thought I ' d fall overboard. But I don ' t care. It was grand! At first I was afraid some of the players would be hurt, but no one else seemed to think so and I was too busy looking on to worry much about it. We won eleven to five ! Isn ' t that glorious ! Heike for Denison ! Edith and I are just as hoarse as we can be. Nov. 20, ' 03. Last night Mr. Jones told Edith that he and Mr. Blank were going to send up a box and said to look out for fish. Edith told me right after supper and I was mighty glad, for it was rice night and I was hungry as a bear. Besides I adore fish. The door bell didn ' t ring and didn ' t and finally it was time to 176 lock up the hall. I was horribly disappointed but Edith didn ' t seem a bit fussed. Just before the lights flashed she brought out a long rope and put it by the window. We heard Mabel going the rounds and Edith said she slept soundly and made an excellent proctor. After a while I began to get sleepy and then all of a sudden there was a voice singing something about birds waking up and I looked for Edith. She was leaning out the window and 1 hustled over to see what was the matter. There she stood, pulling up the rope with a big white thing fastened on, and two men were down below. At first I was mixed, but in a jiffv I caught on, — and helped pull, too. Pretty so on several other bo_ys came and they played and sang a long while. Edith said we mustn ' t clap, so she winked the light instead. When the serenade was over we opened the box and it was gorgeous. All sorts of things to eat— they were licking good, too — and on top the loveliest roses. It was dandy fine and they were dears to do it. | , May 1, ' 04. It ' s ages since I ' ve wriitten a word in you, my poor old diary, but I ' ve been having the most glorious time. Jack, that ' s Mr. Blank, and some of his frat. brothers have been simply great to me and I have the dearest pin. College isn ' t a bit like I thought it would be. There is so much fun in it and yet there ' s plenty of good hard work after all. And as for the profs., they ' re all nice, but I have a regular crush on Prof. Gil and Prof. Johnny. To think that I ' ve heen at the Sem. almost a year and haven ' t been called up yet. But really, that ' s nothing for me to brag of, as I haven ' t always tried to rise to the occasion and control the situation. But what a perfectly grand time I ' ve had ! All my dates for Commencement week are taken. Oh, dear ! I don ' t like to think about vacation. What shall I do without all the girls and — yes. I shall miss the girls awfully. But I ' m going to write to every- body and I ' ll be back bright and early next fall. This is the lovliest place! The work is pleasant, the people are fine, ' 07 is a dandy class, and — well, it ' s old Denison and how I love it ! 7 extracts from a Tre$l)niaii $ Diary. EPT. 12. Got off train at Newark. Fellow with a hig badge met me and wanted to know if I was going to - Denison. I said yes and then he told me his eating club was the best in town and not to join a frater- nity. Got on a car with a lot of other funny look- ing fellows and came to Granville awful fast. As soon as I got off the car seventeen different fellows hauled off and charged me. When the smoke lifted I was signing my name in a book in the barber shop. Felt like I was in two places, Granville, Ohio,, and home-sick. Sept. 13. Fellow named Jimsam West told me how to register this morning. Met a young fellow named Emory Hunt, too. He and West seem to be the whole cheese here. Met Prof. Kibby. He told me to be thorough in everything and that an axe was the best thing to drive a pin in with. Said I would get along all right if 1 did not smoke. Said a man that smokes is a fool at one end of a cigar with a light at the other. Sept. 19. Spent last night learning nicknames of all the profs. My Profs, are Gil, Willy, Johnny and Kibby. They say Gil has been here since the reformation. Willy is a cinch. He asked me today Where was Moses when the light went out? The other Profs, are not so easy. Sept. 21. Have decided not to be afraid of Gil. Fat Van Voorhis told me I was safe if I do not play foot-ball. I guess lie is quiet enough if you don ' t rile him. Sept. 25. Went to the reception at the Sem. last night. A girl asked me if I was a Beta Alpha Delta. I said no, but thought I would join. Then she laughed and told me that Beta Alpha Delta was only a joke. I guess she thought I was green. Sept. 28. Have decided to go in for foot-ball in spite of Gil. Got a suit yesterday and went out. Sept. 30. Am feeling better today. The doctor says I will be able to walk around a little the day after tomorrow. Don ' t believe I like foot-ball. It ' s too much like election day at home. Oct. 8. Gil told me today that my writing was very poor. I almost told him that his was no better. When he puts a problem on the board it looks like a Chinest prescription for the chills. Oct. 15. Am stuck on a girl who sits next to me in Latin. She ' s a pipin and smiles at me real nice. I ask her to go to a concert with me but she said she had another engagement. I tell you a broken heart it not what its cracked up to be. Oct. 28. It has rained for five days. Am very homesick and long for the pies that mother used to make. It is seven weeks, 178 four days, eight hours and sixteen minutes till the time 1 start for home. Nov. 29. Still raining. Mud is something fierce. Saw a big hat on top of the mud today and when I went to pick it up found a man underneath. I told him I would get help and we would dig him out, but he said he was all right, he was driving the hack. Dec. 8. Was invited to join the A A but have decided not to, as father told me to be careful of my associations. Dec. 19. Cramming for exams. Don ' t believe I will get through. Everybody looks scared. Jan. 1. Got A in everything but Willie ' s Work, which was so easy I didn ' t study it. Paid all my bills today and bought a pocket book Math my last dollar. 179 (With apologies c is for Anna B.

NCE there was a Professor in a College on a Hill who re- jmmaLe joiced in the Euphemistic Cognomen of Willie Williams, ai originally of iSTew Jersey. He inoculated Bumptuous Freshmen with the Glorious Beauties of the English Language at so much Per. He had a Burr in his Larnyx and Senior Exhibitions in Recital Hall every year. In these each Senior is compelled to come out in the Ring and for fifteen long Minutes conceal his Ignorance in well-chosen and rhythmic Anglo-Saxon. These Exhibitions are modeled on the Graduating Exercises of the Senior Class of the Hooppole Town- ship High School of 1873— hence the Crime of ' 73. There were some Rude Boys who were prone to cheer too en- thusiastically, so Willie hired an Irish Policeman by the name of Gilpatrick to sit on the Stage in Citizen ' s Clothes and restrain their Boyish Enthusiasm. When the Evening of this Momentous Occasion came, everything possible had been done to accommodate the Mighty Audience. Cayenne Pepper had been sprinkled care- fiTlly over the Seats to give Spice to the Entertainment, and an Electric Bell was arranged to ring frequently. Little Harry Skipp was the First on the Program. Harry tripped in blithly over a Chair and Rug and projected his little Four-ply, Ingratiating Grin upon the Audience. He began to hand out One entitled White Wings of Peace, or Away with Cruel War. Harry thought it cruel for men to fight One another, and was saying some Beautiful Sentences to that Effect. Little Harry got Worried and said awful mean Things about People who go to War. He had reached the Climax of his Speech and was ridding his System of a Compound Melliferous Sentiment like This: Let Peace, wafted through the Open Grates of Para- dise by a Sweet Wind from Heaven, float gently down like a Feather from an Angel ' s Wing upon this Blood-stained Earth, when, not a single Feather, but a whole Feather Bed came floating down out of the Emperean and lit upon Harry, making Him look more like the Chief Engineer of a Feather Renovator than the Boy Orator of the Raccoon. He was led away behind the Scenes amid a Frenzy of Applause, where some Juniors who were afraid that the Exercises would not be discontinued the next year, separ- ated Harry from the Feathers with a Fine tooth Comb. The next Fiend in Human Form who came out to gloat over the Ae- onies of the Helpless Audience, was the far-famed and intractable JSTed Lauougschwyxriendghe, who, though of Foreign 183 Birth, speaks good English. He had a nice new Set of Gestures and an Oratorical Pause which he was working alternately upon the Enraptured Audience with Deadly Effect, when a Low-minded old Hen, in who se Bosom the Milk of Chicken Kindness had been turned to Buttermilk by a persistent but fruitless Attempt to in- cubate a Door Knob and two Bricks, flew in at the Window and proceeded to raise a Muss with Ned. She flew upon the Hat- band of a timid young Thing, who let out a Piercing Yell and started Hostilities with the Hen. She was captured by the Com- bined Escorts of the Irish Policeman and a brave, self-forgetful young Prep. Meanwhile the Intractable One had finished, but his last remarks were lost to Posterity amid the Excitement. After two or three lesser celebrities, came Burke, not Ed- mund but Charlie. His Piece was an Idyll from Wilbur Ran- som ' s Barber Shop, entitled What Next? , or The Nature of the Occurrence which will immediately succeed the Previous. By Dint of repeating the first spasm of his Subject eighteen times, he had roused his Auditors to a Thrilling Height. For the Nineteenth Time his Dulcet Voice, throbbing with Passion, was repeating, What Next? when a Guinea, which was roosting in a nearby Tree, flew in at the Open Window, scattering Terror in his Wake, and Chirped, I ' m Next. Charlie went on like a Demosthenes amid the clatter of the Alarm Clock and the Shriek- ing of the Guinea. Gil served a Writ of Habeas Corpus on the Guinea and the alarm clock, and the Audience cheered Him to the Echo to show that Public Opinion was with the Minion of the Law. Willie pronounced the Benediction and Everybody went Home delighted with the great Williams Collection of Bipeds, Human and Feathered. 184 The Fate of the Circus Director E f re$bman ' $ Cetter Boine IS true that I never wrote poems at home And I never had wanted to nuther, But somehow, since I came to this place, I ' ve got to write suthin or other. The Profs here all seem so pecidiar like, I ' ve got to say suthin in somewav, And I ' m just goin ' to write you about ' em. Don ' t care if it takes all day. I ' m goin ' to mention Prof. Willie the first thing, Plague take his old bald head ! He finds so much fault with my manner of speakin ' That I almost wish he was dead. Whenever I get up to say anything Prof. Willie says Tur-tut-tut-tut. Looks over his two pairs of glasses ' Till I have to keep my mouth shut. And there ' s a man here that never laughs. He stands about five feet three, And he uses big words ' bout a half mile long, And is Jest as perlite as can be. There ' s another professor that ' s about his size That ' s tryin ' to grow a full beard. And I know if you saw how fierce he does look You jest couldn ' t help bein ' skeered. There ' s another man here that ' s an engineer, Who likes to tell what he ' s done. And then jest slaps his right foot down, In a way that ' s certainly fun. Bunny ' s a man that teaches some stuff ' Way up in the chapel hall. And oft he apologizes for the text And says that it ain ' t clear at all. 186 And Johnny, he is the Latin pvof, And no matter how you recite. He ' s always sure to find a few points That You haven ' t done just riglit. There ' s a whole lot more of the profs that queer. And I ' d like to talk about them. Both those who preside on the hill And those who hold forth at the Sei ' i. Bu t the ones at the Sem, I ' ll not mention them Because they ' re all women you know, But if they were men and still just the same Couldn ' t I roast ' em though ! I ain ' t got time to tell of the rest ; I will, though, some other day, And I won ' t forget to mention the Prof That says things some other way. 187 Cfte Ballowe ' en Parfy ALL alight with bloody glow, Candles murky shadows throw, Through the gloom Ghosts come a-glidiug — Cobweb Women, broomstick riding.

Dig vigorously for two hours, or M ' here a spade cannot be obtained, a pony will do the work in a few minutes. After extracting the number of roots required, soak over night. At 7:40, after making sure that your pockets are all securely sewed u p, slightly mix the roots, turn on the gas and set aside to rise. Wind the music box to the tune, Tense, mode, not by a long shot, make a vub of it, that ' s the idear. The sound waves thus produced have an important chemical effect on the mixture. During the game of cards, add the package of force, beat (around the bush) and thoroughly smear the Dick. Then gently work into symmetrical shapes as in illustration, thus. 10. If unsuccessful, cut frequently. JOHNNIE CAKE. Before beginning to mix the cake, procure several able assist- ants whose duty it will be to open and shut the windows at inter- vals of two minutes during the process of baking. Then, having discussed several questions closely related to the subject of John- nie cakes, such as Was Cicero selfish? Is it wrong to wear feathers of birds on the hat ? proceed as follows : To three annals of Tacitus add two orations of Cicero and four letters of Pliny. Flavor to suit the taste with aphorisms. There are several points which need great care but the one on which depends the success of the cake is the stirring. Carefully balance the chafing dish on the knee, then, to give the necessary vertical movement, swing the foot gently back and forth, the foot pointing in a southeasterly direction. Then with the middle finger of the right hand stir the mixture, the thumb being on a line par- allel with the foot and the first finger pointing straight ahead. At the same time keep up the motion of the foot, accenting every third stroke. Success is more certain if, during the entire process, the eyes are fixed firmly upon the chafing-dish. Bake for one hour. WELSH BUNNY. Oil the dish carefully with a few blunders. After giving the rabbit twenty-three cuts, place it in the dish, being sure to pre- serve the proper order. Everything depends upon proceeding in a logical manner. While it is cooking, prepare in a separate dish, a creamy sauce made of the following: Six fresh ambiguities; three direct and and three indirect fallacies which have been stand ing over night in one pint of exaggeration at a temperature of 40° as registered by the chapel thermometer; one sui generis and two hypostatising abstractions which have been well-drained on blotting paper for thirteen minutes before using; three concep- tions of reality which have a noetic relation to each other; beat this mixture well and flavor with a pinch of modus ponens well beaten, one teaspoonful of enthymenes, and a dash of irrelevance. If the reason for this flavoring is not apparent at first sight, do not be alarmed — it will be explained fully as we proceed. Spread this sauce by obversion over the now well-done bunny, and serve to the guests, using division by Dickotomy. Caution. — Learn this recipe word by word and paragraph by paragraph before proceeding further, otherwise very unexpected results may occur. FRENCH CUSTARD A LA MODE. For this delicious dessert 25% more care is recommended in making than with other desserts. After a careful survey in the theoretical part of your cook books and having the subject well before you, mix in a receptacle sufficiently capacious a quart of milk, six eggs and two cups of sugar. Refer to that very useful article 230 for the spices required. Place on the stove. On the theory that milk burns easily, stir constantly, being careful that none of it splash on your clothing as it might lead to the deterior- ation of the fabric. When it has boiled twenty minutes remove from the fire and if it is not a candidate for the honour of being something else it is custard a la mode. Let us lay it on the table garnished with pellets of masticated paper. 192 JUNIOR JUVENILES. N Friday night, at seven o ' clock, At Helen Case ' s door there knocked, The dearest little boys and girls. With dresses, clean, and well combed curls. Johnny and Dorothy, ' Lizabeth and Sue, ISTellie and Nancy and Phoebe, too. And even Willie, the queer little lad. Who came to the party so poorly clad. They played the games they all loved best, And Willie, he played, too, with the rest. With shouts of laughter and lots of noise. The boys teased the girls and the girls teased the boys. When they were liuiigry, the tots were With bread and milk and candies red, And they all smacked their lips and c And ate it down as fast as they could. Met fed ailed it good At last came the time that their mamas had said, They must leave the party, and go home to bed. So Nurse Louise, with the baby in hand. Headed the procession for Sleepy Land. And away they trailed, those dear little tots, With sleepy eyes, and crumpled frocks. But oh, what dreams met their eyes shut tight, Of Junior Juveniles, they had that night. 193 Dorothy.
