We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the kindly interest and aid of Dr. Hunt and many other friends in the preparation and publication of this book. It has been our aim to touch all the phases of College life. We send it out without apology and with the hope that friends and Alumni will find many things of interest and that the students as they glance through these pages may be enabled to live over again the experiences of the past. The Editor. iDeRbORs 5 atio of pro vdss AUGUSTINE S. CARMAN IF Denison ' s progress for the coming decade or quarter century were to be reckoned at the rate for its first generation it would seem to us a snail ' s pace. If the ratio of progress for the past decade be taken as the index of future the record will be something to be proud of. But if, as has been the case hitherto, the ratio of progress itself be in the future an accelerating one, the Uemson of coming generations will be a magnificent thing. Denison is seventy-eight years old, and there has been no year or period of its whole career when worthy deeds have not been accomplished and noble men helped to a fitness for life. But there are notable respects in which the past decade has seen more of progress almost than the two entire generations of its previous history. 1 his progress is not as striking in every direction, and it requires special research into the records to show how great the advance movement has been, but it is marked in the direction of numbers, of strengthened curriculum, of material resources and of mcreasmg radius of influence. I. Denison s Progress in Numbers. To realize what progress has actually been made in numbers, one must consider the college proper. The catalogue of a few years ago made a brave showing in names until one sat down to analyze it and found how large a proportion of the names represented prepar- atory work or work unconnected with the college curriculum It is a startling thing to find that there were never one hundred men altogether in the college classes of Denison until about 1802. This was of course, before Shepardson College became an integral part of the University but the graduates of Shepardson from its first college classes in 1890 to 1893 were but three,one, one and two for the four classes By 1898 there were 180 enrolled in the college classes. But m 1908 there were 393. This increase in college numbers in fifteen years from one hundred to nearly four hundred is a remark- able one. 1 hese numbers include with the regular classes the elec- tive or special students who have at the time of issuing the catalogues no regular classification. If for the sake of accurate comparison of distinctively collegiate work we take only the numbers in regular classes from Freshmen to Seniors, including a few residem graduate page seven students, we find that the increase from 1898 to 1909 is from 129 to 301. It will be noted that the catalogue of 1909 shows a slight decrease in the total enrollment of the university, i. e., from 584 in 1908 to 552 in 1909. This was expected from the fact that three things conspired to cut down the gross attendance, viz.: The con- tinued financial depression throughout the country which made it difficult for students to secure remunerative work last summer and for parents to send students to college; the necessary increase of college fees by nearly 60 per cent beginning with this year; and in addition to all this the lengthening of the Academy course to four years, thus afl ording no gain in time over the Fligh School course which could be taken at home, and indeed the refusal of girls for the first year of High School work by the beginning of the Shepard- son Preparatory work with the second year ' s studies. All of these conspiring events cut down the total attendance slightly, but it is noticeable that this is only in the Preparatory, Music and Art Depart- ments. In the College itself the increase in attendance in regular college classes as compared with 1908 has increased from 280 to 301. Another direction in which the numerical progress is shown is in the relative stability of the student attendance in the college as compared with former times even a decade distant. A noticeable and unfortunate feature of former days was that relatively few who came to Denison completed the college course. The number of non-graduates in any institution is large, but in Denison it was abnormal, as may be seen from the fact that while the total college attendance ten or fifteen years ago was as much smaller as has been shown, yet the number of new students each year was large. The fact that much has been accomplished toward ensuring a perman- ency of attendance is seen by noting the size of the graduating classes, and by the astonishing fact that, counting the Class of 1909, the number of living graduates since 1900 (385) exceeds those of the entire preceding history of the college which began in 1831; and that of the entire body of 901 alumni more than one-half have been graduated since 1896. 2. The Strengthened Curriculum. In 1898 there were but nine full professorships. In 1908-9 there were fourteen, besides other additions to the faculty. Courses have been greatly strengthened both in requirements for matricula- tion and graduation, in the provision of more adequate teaching force and in the general heightening of standards all along the line. Entire new chairs of History and Economics and of Engineering have been established, while other departments have been separated with each a professor at its head, as the German from the Romance page eight Languages, Physics from Chemistry, Geology from Botany. New men have been provided to assist in the w ork in Philosophy and in English, and the splendid new astronomical observatory and tel- escope to be given to Denison this year will doubtless call for cor- responding enlargement of the curriculum. The equipment of the various departments and of the libraries has increased at a remark- able rate during the past decade, by reason of the 200,000 Equip- ment Fund made possible by Mr. Rockefeller ' s gift, and even increased by the Science Hall fire, which seemed so irreparable a disaster at the time but which has resulted in giving Denison one of the finest scientific equipments in the West. J. Material Resources. In 1853, after twenty-two years of existence, the college had resources amounting to $13,772.65. At the end of its first genera- tion it had raised the sum of 75,000 altogether but its total resources in money and equipment were estimated by President Talbot at about $50,000. Then came the first successful movement, made during the Civil War, for an endowment. $100,000 was raised by an eff ort of several years culmin ating in 1867. It was to this fund that John D. Rockefeller made his first subscription of $500, appar- ently being compelled to give his note for a year at 7 per cent. This fund was guarded absolutely from the use of any part of the princi- pal, and so pleased were Ohio Baptists with the result that they proceeded under the stimulus of generous conditional offers of Mr. E. E. Barney of Dayton, father of our present trustee and benefactor, to raise first a fifty thousand dollar fund, then a twenty-five thousand dollar fund and soon after a thirty-five thousand dollar fund for the erection of what is now called Talbot Hall, so that within about five years the resources of Denison had grown from $50,000 to about a quarter of a million. No advance movement on the part of Denison is likely ever to exceed the importance of the achievement of the decade dating from about 1865 to 1875. By 1883 Denison had about $400,000, and by 1898 the resources of Denison and Shepard- son cornbined equalled three-quarters of a million, where the mark stood till the endowment movement of 1900. The first decade of the twentieth century, when gifts and conditional offers already made have matured, will bring the resources well up toward a million and a half, making the gain in resources, on their face, nearly as great for the first decade of the new century as for all of the century preceding. But other considerations prove that the gain has been far greater even than this. The extensive improve- ments in the curriculum, in the teaching force, in scientific buildings and equipment, in dormitory and boarding equipment, and the page nine benefits afforded by the central heating and lighting plant, and by the two gymnasiums with their physical directors, have enabled the university to increase its income very largely. The income of Denison has already exceeded 65,000, only about half of this being from endowments. The balance should also be reckoned as rep- resenting resources of the institution, and when capitalized on a five per cent basis it represents nearly two-thirds of a million to be added to the resources of Denison. This would make of the University a two million dollar plant and as soon as it has adjusted itself to its new financial schedule and the country has definitely entered upon a new period of prosperity, the income of the college will largely increase. New buildings will be provided for the accommodation of those who have been turned away in recent years for want of room, and we may expect the second decade of the century to show perhaps a still more brilliant record than the first. 4. Denison s Increasing Radius of Influence. It is well known that all institutions of learning draw the bulk of their students from within a radius of 100 miles or so of their location. This is true even of great institutions like Harvard. Every institution which has lived for a generation or more with any success comes to have at least a sporadic attendance from distant places sent by enthusiastic alumni. Yet some of our excellent col- leges, located in cities, though increasing in resources, have a less extended radius of influence than they had a generation ago. It is especially difiicult in these days of the big institutions numbering thousands of students out of which to choose winning athletic teams, for a college of moderate size to draw students from a wide range of territory. It means much, therefore, that Denison has doubled the proportion of students from beyond the state in the last decade. In 1898 there were but 56 students from outside of Ohio. In 1908 the catalogue assigned 107 to localities beyond the boundaries of the state, while at least 25 more who are credited in the catalogue to Granville, came to Granville from points outside of Ohio, the fam- ilies removing to this place solely for educational purposes. Some thirty states and eight foreign countries are represented. Michigan, which in 1898, had two students, in 1908 had eight, Pennsylvania increased from eight to thirteen, Illinois from five to twenty-five. New York from four to eight, Massachusetts from one to seven. There has been quite a growth in city attendance from localities which formerly sent their students elsewhere. Dayton has increased its representation in the decade from seven to nineteen, Cleveland from one to eight, Chicago from two to five, and Newark from twenty-one to fifty-three. It is a significant thing that much of the page ten increased attendance at Denison from a distance cannot be traced to connection with Denison Alumni, but results from the widespread general reputation which has come to attach to our college as one of the most satisfactory colleges in the land. By the time the present Freshman Class shall have graduated the alumni list will exceed looo, and from that time on the increase will be rapid. Denison alumni are increasingly in evidence in the land, especially among college faculties. At least five Denison alumni have been chosen presidents of colleges within the past decade. We may therefore, without undue optimism, anticipate the maintenance and even the increase in coming years of Denison ' s fine ratio of progress in numbers, resources, curriculum and teaching force, and in its radius of influence.

The diagram, drawn by Professor Frank Carney of Denison, illustrates vividly the increase in the number of college stu- dents at Granville during the first seventy-five years of the college history, as far as the deficient early records will show. The admin- istrations of the difi erent presidents are indicated. The horizontal line is the time-line. The vertical line represents the attendance of students in the collegiate department, the unit of measurement being ten students. The sharp ascent from 1890 to 1900, and the still sharper ascent from 1900 to 1905 will be noted. The tendency has been still more marked in the years from 1905 to 1909. page eleven Editor-in-Chief, Business Manager, L. V. MiNEAR C. E. Brown Alma Polk Alice Cox, Chairman Pearl Henley F. G.

And as I settled in my seat, released from every strain, A sense of utter laziness possessed my minute brain. My head dropped forward slowly and I slowly closed my eyes, But soon I opened them again and glanced up in surprise. Ye gods and little fishes! And the former emphasized. I saw a sleep-subduing sight that left me paralyzed. No wonder, for around me was the queerest looking crew, That ever I saw out of jail or ever expect to. And yet they seemed familiar too, and in a moment more It suddenly came over me where we had met before. Within my dog eared Latin book, those figures I had seen. But I regarded them as myths, so what could this thing mean. Did I say myths. ' ' I ' ll take it back, for by Old Aaron ' s rods, I ' d stumbled on a sacred stunt, a council of the gods. Yes, there was Jupiter himself, with his ambrosial curls, J; His portly form encased within a robe of many furls. Mars, Neptune, and Apollo, and Pluto; all were there. With every kind of countenance and every shade of hair. They crowded round poor frightened, Me; they trod upon my toes, They bellowed questions in my ear, they pulled my hair and nose. I thought my time to croak had come and started, Now I lay — When Jupiter came sailing in, and pushed the gang away. Come! Come, Immortal Gods said he, Stand back and let us give Him time to tell why he is here and prove his right to live. Each one may ask a question and when all of you are through, We ' ll hold another council to decide what we shall do. So step up lively, each in turn, ten seconds now, apiece. Ask only one, make that one brief, and at the signal, cease. Then up stepped gray old Neptune, with his transit in his hand, (Excuse me, I mean trident), and before me took his stand. What is your father ' s business.? said he, and smiled so sweet, It made me think of flowers and girls, and lovely things to eat. A carpenter, said I, At least when he was in the States, He ' s now employed in mending hinges on the pearly gates. Nep glared at me a little bit, and then I heard him say, Yes, yes, that ' s all right, but can ' t you say it some other way.? page twenty-one page twenty-two I hesitated over it so long that he got vexed, But Jupiter saved me again by loudly calhng, Next. The frovi ning face of Mars appeared, a visage far from sweet, And he was mumbling something of ' a number ' and ' a seat, ' He asked me if I ' d registered, and when I said, Not yet, A blatant bellow burst from him. He said he ' d make me swe ' at. The signal came at last, and as the war god moved away, Still breathing dark anathemas I heard the next one say, How many hours have you got? What ' s your advisor ' s name. I turned my head. Behind me was Apollo ' s stalwart frame. No fair. Two questions. Next! cried Jupe, Step up. It ' s getting late. And with a glare, quite Goody nuf, Apollo pulled his freight. The massive form of Hercules, before me next appeared. His eyes were kept upon the ground, as though he something feared. His red moustache twitched once or twice, and then his voice I heard, In squeaky tones and emphasizing every seventh word. Do you like editors.? said he, Why, yes, I said, I do. He shook his shaggy shapeless head, and answered, I did too. Until I met one who had locks, about the shade of mine. And wore the same hoof covers too, an oxblood number nine. His horns were well developed, and sharp thorns ne ' re bothered him. He butted into Roses, with a smile like Sunny Jim. He sported purple ties and socks; looked sweet enough to kiss But what I hate the lobster for, with bitter hate, is this: One day he ate some ox-tail soup, and that night slept with me. He heaved — But just then Jupiter broke in with Twenty-three. The strong man shouldered manfully, his club, and moved along. The deity who now stepped up, was humming some sweet song. But whether it was Marsellais or only Brother Jack, I could not quite determine, for his tune got off the track. Quite near him was a measly nut, cross-eyed, and almost blind. And when Old Phoebus reached my side, the pup was close behind. The Sun God made a gesture, and irrevalently said: Good evening, sir. Who is this, and what have you on your head? I took the hint, removed my lid, but meanwhile watched the cur, And understanding my alarm, he said, Don ' t fear him, sir. He really is the mildest dog, of which you ever heard; I feed him on ten dollar suits, Mt. Vernon ones preferred. His name is James, and his abnormal appetite, you see Is satisfied quite easily, without expense to me; For every evening in the week, there comes— I ' ll never know Just who it was that came, for time was called. He had to go. At once there waddled up the Mt. Olympus A. D. T. Or better known to people by the name of Mercury. page twenty-three A book on Ornithology, tucked ' neath his stubby wing, He really looked as though he were prepared for anything. I wondered what his question would pertain to, and I hoped That he would cut it short, for I was feeling bored and doped. Pray tell me, sir, at last he cried, What makes your legs so Ion I ' ve been comparing them with mine and fear there ' s somethii wrong. I ' d really like to know, for I, though not the Prince of Wales, Object to having sidewalks built so close to my coat-tails. I shook my head, and wearily, I signed for him to go. For I was getting tired of this dizzy-headed show. But scarcely had he gone before another took his place. Who said his name was Pan, and asked me how I liked my face. Ten times as well as yours, cried I, quite nettled at his gall, Your stale old Freshman English jokes don ' t make a hit at all. He scratched his goat-like head, in search of some unkind reply But changed his mind and trotted off, with evil in his eye. A pause in the procession ensued, and I took breath And looked to see how many more, for I was bored to death. The Wooden face of Cupid, I saw among the crowd, His bow in hand, of which he seemed inordinately proud. Miss Psyche, through her love for him, his movements seemed check. Her arms she was endeavoring to Winder round his neck. Minerva, absent-minded, and with dislocated wvezth Was picking, with a pen-knife, her pearly, pointed teeth; While near at hand. Old Bachus v as scratching with a pin The lonely place where his hirsute adornment should have been. Cold Juno, with her book of rules I saw, and far away, A band of Wingless Angels I could see engaged in play. But my attention soon was called to something at my side, And as I glanced around my oily optics opened wide. The short-brown-coated, thick-set form of Pluto there appeared. The smell of brimstone emanating from his infant beard. He shook a test-tube in my face, and in an awful tone Of voice he asked me if I knew what was the first unknown. In fear and trembling, I said, No. Then with an awful roar He dashed the test-tube and its contents down upon the floor. The fearful crash half blinded me. I stood with blinking eyes, But whe n my wand ' ring wits returned, imagine my surprise. For I vs as sitting in my seat in chapel, and the noise Which wakened me was clapping hands of college girls and boys. And Jupiter (no, I mean Prex.) was making mental drills. The moral of this tale is this: Take Carter ' s Liver Pills. page twenty- page twenty-five page twenty-six Senior (Class Officers C. W. Kemper Mildred Hunt Amy Jones G. H.

Stevens Sophomore fistor I AHE Class of 191 1 began its memorable existence one mild I day in the Fall of the year 1907. Their brilliant achieve- ments during that year are too well known to be entered into in detail and yet too important in the history of the school to be passed over without a word. Suffice it therefore, to say, that they were all-powerful in letters, in law and in conflict. For confirmation of this statement go to Prof. Roberts, Miss Barker and those with whom they have engaged in conflict. Prof. Roberts admired so much tht ' n facultatem scribendi that he has in his posses- sion today three typewritten pages of choice selections culled from the papers of the Class of 191 1. And Miss Barker will testify that in so far as possible they have been a law unto themselves. But all this was achieved in their Freshman days and is as nothing compared to what they have achieved since they became Soph- om.ores. Early in the year they scattered time worn tradition to the wind by re-electing for president the man who led them from victory to victory the year before. Then, indeed, did the wide-eyed Fresh- men begin to tremble and to inquire how many they were and how much they were able to battle. Field day came. Their trustworthy leader saw that they were overwhelmed by numbers and after a fierce battle had been fought conducted a temporary retreat, not, however, without leaving thousands of the enemy slain behind him. Hostilities were resumed. This time the forces were more evenly matched and the contest resulted in the triumph of the right — a splendid victory for the green and v 7hite. After the turmoil of Vv ar had subsided the Sophomores then turned their attention to some much needed political reforms. Now the privileged class in Denison University has long been limited to a few people — too few, the Sophomores thought, and so set about to devise a scheme whereby each male member of the class over twenty- one might in turn know the joys of office holding. In accordance page sixty-eight with the plans made, Mr. Whyte went out of office just after the football season and a new president took his place — one F. B. Holden who, in turn, retired a month or so later, to make way for his suc- cessor, Zo Brown, the present incumbent. In the working out of this epoch-making movement the class desire to take this opportunity of thanking Dr. Colwell who took such a kindly interest in them and helped them get started. The social side of life has not been neglected in the midst of war and legislation. Last fall in Doane Gymnasium a Mother Goose party, surpassing in brilliancy anything ever before attempted here, was held. The costumes were all of the Mother Goose period. Jack Horner, Mary Mary, King Cole, Miss MufFet, Simple Simon, and a host of others talked and laughed and sang and danced until the clock struck twelve. Then, as if by magic, every maiden disap- peared leaving sentences unfinished, good nights unsaid and their partners unenlightened until one of them — the Wondrous Wise Man, perhaps, noticed lying near the door a tiny slipper. Then they looked at one another, smiled dreamily and began to get the debris cleared away according to contract. Two years of the college life of the Class of 191 1 are almost over. In the two years that remain they hope to prove the Divine right of the Green and White to rule at Denison, socially, politically and intellectually. page sixty-nine page seventy JP ' res maR (Tla Officers President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, C.

They entered from High School and Academy with records of hard work and a great deal of energy stored up for future use. The result of this was shown in the Class-Rush on Beaver Field in September, when in spite of the experience of the Sopho- mores, they won the victory and captured the cane. This was an exciting time for Freshman and Sophomore; but the girls, while loyal through and through, declared that football was more inter- esting and not half as barbarous. Who can forget that game in which the Freshmen held the Sophomores down to a score of 6 to 1 1 ' Tis true the victory was theirs (as it thould have been with so many of the varsity men on the team), yet the grit and determined spirit of the Class of 1912 won the applause of everyone. The first social stunt was a decided success. The invitations called for advertisements to appear at Doane Gym on Saturday evening. The result would have done justice to any magazine, while all agreed that it was a splendid way for one hundred and twenty folks to become acquainted and have a jolly, good time. Basketball! Again the Freshmen star. The intense interest displayed in the inter-class games can only be realized by those who v itnessed them. First came the Juniors who were beaten by a score of 6 to 22. But that only was a beginning, the Preps and Sophomores both gave away before the victorious Five of 1912. The Seniors — Well, time alone will show that the Class of 1912 vv ' ill furnish men for the varsity teams, page eighty-two Last but not least, come the classroom and the Professors. Here, too, the Freshmen have won renown. English, Chemistry, Latin, French or German, were mastered as if they were only a matter of time. Freshman A, that much discussed and dreaded bother, succumbed to repeated efforts made with the help of the midnight oil. The Literary Societies have made them welcome and are thankful for their hearty support. Considering everything, they are a thoroughly up-to-date class, admired by the Preps, respected by the Sophs, acknowledged by the Upper-classmen and given good grades by the Professors. They are a class worth watching, and if they retain their present standards and ideals, they will make Denison University the first in the land. E. M. D.

Officers were elected and the class began its career — one which will undoubt- edly be handed down in the annals of the College as one of the most remarkable ever found in Denison. In later meetings, colors, the class flower, a yell and all the accessories necessary for a full fledged class were adopted. The first class function, better known as stunt, was a Christ- mas Party held in Doane Gymnasium, December 12th. Everyone had a jolly good time, for which especial thanks are due to the old Saint himself who left his arduous duties at that season of the year and was not only present but presented each member of the class with a stocking full of candies. On all the Preparatory Athletic Teams the Senior Preps have done their share and have assisted in winning many victories for Doane. And the girls of our class did their part in winning the coveted Shepardson Championship in basketball for the Preps. But we have not confined our victories solely to athletics. Our class work has been quite remarkable in every way. We have con- quered the most bewildering experiments. The most obstinate geometrical problem has not been able to stand before us. And we have safely brought the plus Aeneas through flood and fire, to the satisfaction of all concerned, and landed him in the Promised Land. In view of such achievements we feel confident that for at least four years the welfare of our College is secure. Beyond that time we cannot say what may happen. But we promise you that the Senior Prep Class of 1909 is intending to make good, and therefore we advise you to Stop, Look and Listen quick. We ' re the class that ' s superfine.

A., ' 09 page ninety-two B e Jpasl $?ear In Atretics LOOKING backward over the list of athletic contests for the year that has gone, the Denisonian finds a record of which he may well feel proud. Although the boys did not win the championship in any branch of athletics they did succeed in winning a sufficient number of games to show what Old Denison is capable of when the call to arms is sounded. The football season was one of the most successful m years. Out of the ten games played five were victories and victories with large scores. During the entire season 124 points were scored by Denison and 77 by her opponents. Although the loss to Ohio State by a 16 to 2 score was a sad disappointment to those who had hoped for better things, still the decisive victory over Wooster at the close of the season brought smiles to College Hill once more. Everything considered the season was a success. The baseball season ' s successes may be passed over. The season is simply a story of rain, snow and cancelled games with victories rather scarce in number. When the weather permitted, the representative teams of the State were met but owing to the poor condition of our practice field the team was not able to work up sufficient batting ability. This accounts in part for a season a little less successful than some former ones. The part remains, however, that the best team played — West Virginia — went down to defeat at Denison ' s hands. The basketball schedule for 1908-09 was probably the most difficult one ever carried through by a Denison Five. Of the six games lost three can well be charged to the severity of the schedule. But II victories from 17 chances leaves no room for sighs especially page ninety-three when we consider that all defeats were suffered away from home and that our opponents were out-scored by 130 points. Three stars, such as Livingston, Pine, and Rockwood, are not often found play- ing on the same team. The individual records of these men as shown by the official score book are most convincing arguments of their merits. The season of iqoS- ' oq is generally considered the best of all since the advent of the game. Denison plays a style of basketball that approaches the Official. Abundant confidence in the ability of the coach and good spirit throughout the year explains the success of the season ' s work in athletics. Although graduation will deprive us of some of our stars there is no cause for alarm. We have plenty of diamonds in the rough, which, when polished on the field or gym floor, will shine in our next year ' s record. page ninety-four page ninety-five Tool ! all tn Doc Freeman A man of general all around athletic experience who has done much to advance good clean ath- letics. This was Doc ' s first year at Denison and his work with the football squad was somewhat handicapped on that account. He made a favor- able and lasting impression at the beginning of the season, when his ability as a coach was shown in the Washington and Jefferson game. He has made the gymnasium an attractive and helpful place. His interclass and interfraternity contests have been successful in inspiring greater athletic activity. W. J. Livingston Livy ' s last football season here closed one of the best athletic careers in Denison ' s history. By his hard work and interest in the team as well as by his star playing he has aided Denison in producing one of the best teams of its weight in Ohio. Livy takes four football D ' s with him and has been mentioned as tackle in this year ' s All-Ohio Team. Livy ' s departure will make a big hole in Denison ' s team. page ninety-six Toot : aU ytttn R. Dean Hart Snug is the smallest man on the team yet one of the pluckiest players to be found. No man in the state last season put it over him. He came to us from Toulon, III., where he played on the Toulon Academy team. He has been chosen as the leader of the Denison eleven for the season of ' 09. Harry Pine Pine played a good game at end during his last year at Denison. He proved himself one of the mainstays in the line-up. Porky did excep- tionally good work in handling the forward pass, making long gains every time he got his hands on the ball. Future Denison teams will find Porky ' s place hard to fill. -page ninety-seven oot a{{ 1 H. E. RODGERS Leather during his last year in college ath- letics upheld his brilliant reputation. His individ- ual style of play made him the center of attraction in most of the games. Rodgers was one of the Denison men to draw the All-State honors. He was one of the most consistent players on the team and will be greatly missed at Denison next year. Geo. Crowl Crowl is one of the lightest men on the team. He played this season, as he has for three years, his usual steady, aggressive game at right end. He knows the game and has the Denison spirit. It is such steady playing as his that builds up a team. page ninety-eight 3 oot aii yUtn E. H. Chittenden Chit is an old Shaw High School star. He won for himself there the nickname of Old Warhorse. His heady and consistent playing counted in many a game for Denison. With Chit at the tackle Denison was assured of an impreg- nable defense. Three D ' s are credited to him for his hard work. C. J. Stilwell Buck played this season the same fast, aggressive game he has always played. In the position as fullback he has been a good ground gainer for Denison as well as a hard tackier. When he has the ball he is a hard man to stop. He stays with Denison one more year. page ninety-nine Ifoot : aU ytZtn BiRNEY Walker The past season has been Walker ' s second and he has proved a shark at carrying the ball. On defense he is a plucky tackier backing up the line hard and consistently He is speedy and knows how to use his head at the decisive moment. Briney is well known as one of the reliable old war-horses of Denison ' s squad. R. B. Whyte Scootch has been in football ever since he was a youngster. His first real experience was gained at Waukegan High School where he played for two years. Though rather short in his pedal extremities he is somewhat of a traveler. He is in the game from the start to the finish. In this, his first season, he made good and caused much comment. page one hundred ool : aU mzn H. D. Anderson Andy, by his long punts and successful passes, has saved his team from defeat more than once. He has proven himself a valuable man on the team. Denison rejoices at holding him for next season. W. S. Willis Bill filled well the position of right guard all this last season. He is new to the game, but car- ried off his D as a result of his consistent and steady playing. Denison regrets the loss of Willis. page one hundred one loot : all : en Fred Holden When the gong was sounded at the beginning of the college year for the initial practice of the squad, Fritz was one of the first to don his togs. He could always be depended upon as a consistent ground gainer. However, unfortunate in having his arm dislocated in mid-season, Fritz proved that he would be one of the best for next year ' s team. W. C. CoE Cosie, though this was his first season on the varsity, showed up well. He is one of the fastest men on the team. His whole system of playing is based on speed. Cosie was among the number of Denison ' s good halves. This year he collared his first football D. page one hundred two 3 001: qU yUi.n G. L. Hershberger Hersh is another old reliable. He played on the Newark High School Team. He is up to all the tricks of the game and keeps his opponent always on the defense. He has been with the team for two years, playing end in a most satis- factory manner. Manager E. H. Foote Foote has been the most successful manager Football has ever had. The team did not at any time feel that they were receiving anything but the best entertainment and the comfortable budget that Manager Foote closed the season with was somewhat of a surprise to the team. That Manager Foote ' s v ork was appreciated was shown by the fact that he was re-elected to the managership for another year, being Denison ' s first graduate manager. page one hundred three page one hundred four Varsity t ase ! all ' Geam Captain H.

Much has been d one toward making those who take a more prominent part in the special branches of sport feel that their efforts along those particular lines are appre- ciated, and for some time the idea of forming an association con- sisting of men who have become entitled to wear the college insignia and who have some definite ideas and purposes along athletic lines, was formulating in the minds of those more interested. Finally, a call was issued for a meeting of the men eligible for such an association, and after one or two more or less informal meetings, an organization was effected, the object of which is to protect and raise the standard of the college athletic insignia and to co-operate with the Denison Athletic Association in promoting all branches of clean athletics. It is the thought of those interested in promoting this association that by means of it, those Alumni who have been in the past more closely associated with the athletic side of the school life, will have a channel through which an expression of their thoughts and wishes and ideas along athletic Hues can be made more directly than in any other way. page one hundred eleven page one hundred twelve Association OFFICERS President, C.

In the early days of Doane Academy, its students were as eligible to be the representatives of the University on the athletic field as any others in the school, but when the great cleaning up of athletics came about and the Conference Rules were adopted by the repre- sentative schools of the state, it became necessary for the interests of all concerned to debar the Preps from participation in intercollegiate athletics. Accordingly, since March, 1906, when the Conference rules were adopted, the Preps who were interested in athletics were laboring under a serious handicap and a remedy was being sought for this evil. This was found to be in the formation of an Academy Atheltic Association, membership in which was strictly limited to Academy students. The formation of this Association immediately placed the Academy athletics on a substantial basis, a responsible Board of Control being elected, consisting of two members of the Academy Faculty, one member from the student body of the College, two members from the student body of the Academy and a Graduate Manager; the Faculty members to be elected by the Faculty, the student members by the Association and the Graduate Manager by the Board of Control of the College Association. The purpose of the Association is not to attempt the carrying out of long schedules of hard games, in any way to win, but its pur- pose is to foster a healthy, manly interest in physical contests of a real sportsmanlike character, and to discover and develop good timber for the future Varsity teams. As such an Association it is filling a real need and meeting with much encouragement. page one fifteen 1, page one ektecB am jFoot ! aU Oeam E. C. Williams, C. E. Stoner, R. J. GOLDBERGER, W. B.

Samuel page one forty-three PERHAPS the first object which would attract the attention of a visitor to CalHope Hall is a life-sized painting representing a maiden appareled in the flowing robes of ancient Greece. A casual observer might smile in scorn at this painting for at its best it could never have been called a fine specimen of art and in its present condition it shows very marked signs of age and rough usage. But when on inquiry one finds that this painting has been closely associated with the history of the Calliopean Society and is really one of the rarest relics which can be seen in Granville, the smile of scorn at once vanishes and a look of inquiry takes its place. This painting of the Muse Calliope v as executed in the year 1859 when the society had its assembly room on the fourth floor, east corridor of what we now call Marsh Hall. At that time the literary societies were the liveliest organizations in the college. Judging from the extant records the present preparatory societies vv ould seem lifeless in comparison. The Calliopean society conducted a class in elocution and supported a library of some merit. The most renowned men of America and Europe were voted in as honorary members, and so Holmes, Whittier, Longfellow, Thackeray, Webster and others became our fellow Calliopeans. But Franklin Society was alive, too. Between the two societies there existed the bitterest rivalry the intensity of which is revealed by their Exhibitions, or Extras as we would call them today. In the Exhibition of 1859 Calliope determined to outdo her rival and so a brass band was secured; the town people and the girls from both Sems were invited; the Presbyterian Church was secured for the occasion; extensive evergreen decorations were hung. The size page one forty-four of the audience which attended can be surmised from the fact that 1200 programs were printed and the town officers were asked to be present and to prevent disorder. At the close of the program lemonade was served ! Whether or not that surpassed anything that the FrankHn Society could do we do not know. We, being Cal- Jiopeans, suppose of course that it did, yet we are assured by those who know, that Frankhn was at least a close second. But Franklin stole a march on Calliope in at least one respect. A Mr. Worcester, a member of their society and a resident of Gran- ville, was an artist and he painted for his society a picture of Ben- jamin Frankhn— the one which still hangs on their walls. The picture, it is true, was rather small and unobtrusive, but Calliope was not going to be outdone and so there at once sprang up a desire for a painting of our Muse Calliope which would make Benjamin Franklm ' s blush for shame. That new born hope was quickly realized and this relic is the result. But who was the artist who prepared this picture.? One might search a long while before finding an answer to this question, but if he is keenly alert he will find the clue on a certain little yellow slip of paper pasted in between two pages of an old treasurer ' s book. It reads as follows: Cincinnati, O., September 28, 1861. Yours of the 21st is before me and according to promise I send you the receipt. Received of W. D. Gilbert, fifteen dollars, being in full of all accounts for painting picture of Calliope for the Calliopean society. R. S. DUNCANSON. Then take down from the shelf of the Denison library an old Cincinnati Directory, (the one of 1853 is available) turn to the name Duncanson and you will find the following: Robt. S. Dun- canson. Dag. Artist, 28 W. 4th St. Perhaps these clues will be sufficient to convince you that the artist who painted this picture of Calliope was R. S. Duncanson a daguerreotype artist of Cincinnati. fiage one forty-6ve Then write to the Alumni of the society of that period and the con- sensus of their opinions will be that the painting cost 150. Notice the date of the last receipt quoted above and you can see that it took about two years for the society to pay for it. This painting of the Muse has figured in the later history of the society. Members used to be initiated into Calliope by the strenuous methods now in vogue in prepdom. In these initiations, which did not differ very much probably from the present day fraternity initia- tions, various rites were solemnly performed before the blushing Muse. But in 1901 the members of Calliope began to see how really undignified, or at least how unliterary such performances are, and so it was determined that from that time they would be of a more dignified nature each member being expected to bring his lady. In the year in which the present style of initiation was adopted the initiates were called in one by one and solemnly led up to the picture and joined in holy wedlock to the blushing Muse. Since then our Muse has been badly slighted. The undisturbed dust of several years has just recently been brushed from her classic form and again she stands forth to inspire us to nobler efforts. She holds a scroll in her hands on which is painted the motto of our society. Translated it reads, Truth, Excellence, Oratory. Though we may forget our Muse, may we never forget the words she bears on her scroll. p ge one forty-six 3 ' (i$tov of JFranklin literary Society THE Calliopean Literary Society was founded in 1836. At this time there were many small literary societies which were feeders to the Calliopean Society as it, through able management, became the leader in literary work. There were far less organizations then, than we have today, and therefore the Literary Societies had more influence than they do now. Along in the early forties E. H. Ferris rebelled against the length of the meetings, finally leaving Calliope. With a few kindred spirits, he started a new society naming it after Ben. Franklin. Thus in 1841 was the Franklin Literary Society founded. Application was made to the faculty that it be recognized by them, as Calliope had been, but this was refused, the reason given being that one society was enough for the school, but this did not stop the growth of the new society. A state charter was granted the organi zation on January 19th, 1843. There were then twenty-nine Franks, among them Wm. Ashmore, E. H. Ferris and J. S. Tunison. On March 25th the following resolution was adopetd: Resolved, That this Society present a vote of thanks to Isaac Green, Esque, late Representative from this county, for favoring us with his influence in procuring the passage of a bill to incorporate this Society. In the spring of ' 43 Franklin started collecting books for a library and by January, ' 44, had three hundred volumes. When this library was given to the University in ' 87, it contained 2500 books. page one forty-seven It was at the close of the Winter Term in ' 43 that the Franks made their first pubHc appearance. The members wore the FrankHn Badge, a red rose over a blue ribbon bearing the name, Franklin. Later the white rose was substituted in place of the red. The number of men wearing the badge astonished the mem- bers of Calliope. Up to this time they had considered the new Society as another feeder, but they now saw that they had a worthy opponent. In ' 69, when all the Republic was excited over the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, the Franklin Literary Society held a special meeting. At this meeting the President was impeached and the results of the meeting were sent to the Speaker of the House. It might be said that their decision was the same as that reached by the Legislative body. The Society has had many customs which appear queer to us in these enlightened times. It was a custom to divide the membership into two sections, one presenting the debate, the other the composi- tion, each week. In looking over the questions debated one is struck by their high educational value. The same is true of the essays and orations presented. The Franks of the past were men we may well be proud of. They were in school on purpose not by acci- dent, and the literary society was of vital importance to them. Another custom of the old days, was that of holding court. At the instigation of the prosecuting attorney the court, composed of three members, was convened. He then accused the members of any misdemeanors, and the defence was heard. Fines were imposed if the member was found guilty. This custom was dropped from the College societies about fifty years ago, though it is still in practice in the Prep societies. During the years of ' 53 and ' 54 the college was in a very poor condition. It was thought for a time that Franklin could not live and arrangements were made for disposing of the property belonging to the society. This proved but a testing time and, as conditions became better, the Franks rallied with new zeal and spirit. page one forty-eight During its lifetime this Society has met in many places. When the Collese was situated on the Columbus Road, about a mile beyond the Raccoon, it met in Prof. Carter ' s recitation room; though occasional meetings were held in the Chapel. This room was fur- nished with rough wooden benches. When we think of spending many hours on a wooden bench we can readily understand the objection to long meetings. When the college was moved to its present site Franklin occupied a room in the Old Brick, at present known as Marsh Hall. The society room was on the top floor, and later, when the building was remodeled the society was again homeless. The Franks gathered in Prof. Williams ' recitation room until the building of Swasey Gymnasium provided the present room. Some people may thing that theatricals and comic sketches are a departure in the way of literary programs, but they are mistaken. At an exhibition given May 3d, 1845, sketch bearing the title of an Examination of Common School Teachers, was produced. In this Wm. Ashmore took the part of Barney O ' FIaherty, a Wild Irishman. Franklin has led the school, and she has had her share of misfortunes but the history of the past is one which no Frank can be anything but proud of. page one forfy-nine iFratiKlirt A. G. Adams C. K.

It is not strange on the other hand, that a person observing only the two extreme ends of evolution ' s chain has difficulty to imagine the intervening links. So forty-six years has been sufficient time for evolution to work her strangest miracles on Philo. The first link in the chain of Philo ' s history was welded in 1863 by thirteen girls who in a second story room of a frame dormitory founded an organization for the purpose of promoting their literary interests. From this beginning with thirteen charter members the society rapidly grew. In a few years they had a society hall in which they took great pride. It was in the old college chapel and was lost in the spring of 1900 when that building was destroyed by fire. With the room nearly all of the society ' s property was lost. But a little adversity like this was not allowed to injure the society permanently. And although it is still without a home, she grows and is prosperous in her wanderings. One of the links recently added to the chain is the annual contest with her rival Euterpe. This contest is a custom of three years ' standing. Twice has Philo come out of the struggle victorious and she has no defeat to acknowledge, since the result of the other contest was never decided. The channel of the society ' s most strenuous effort has been turned from the traditional annual extra into the contest, while the histrionic ability which of late years the extra has employed, is now engaged by a Shepardson play the burden of which is shared with Euterpe. These facts, together with the recent loss of all of her prepar- atory students, are the epoch-making events in Philo ' s history. By every Philo her name is cherished as is the memory of those first thirteen, and all the other makers of that chain to which her present members are proud to add a link. page one fifty-iix THE Euterpean Literary Society was organized in eighteen hundred and sixty-one. This being the first society organized in what was then the Young Ladies ' Institute. It was with intense interest and earnestness that this work was started. This earnestness with which the few first mem- bers entered into the work has been an impetus to the society through all these years to keep up the standard that was theirs. The aims of the society were then as now the development of the literary and the musical talents of its members and the advance- ment of the social life of the College. In 1863 the Philomathean Society was organized which furnished sufficient friendly rivaliy between the two societies to act as a stimulus for the production of the best work. In the spring of 1900 the Old Chapel Building which had been the home of the two societies, was destroyed by fire. Euterpe suf- fered the loss of her entire possessions including all the records of the society except the old constitution. We are all looking forward to the day which we hope is not far off when we can have a hall to call our own. A new feature of our society life for the past three years is the annual contest held between Euterpe and Philo. Within the last year a new literary society has been organized for the preparatory girls which has limited the membership of Euterpe and Philo to those girls who hold college rank. We feel that this is a step in advance and will give zest to the work. page cme fifty-teven page one Gfty-eigitt Euterpe Officers FIRST SEMESTER President, V ice-President, .

Wilson page one sixty-one FORTY-NINE years ago the Cicero Literary Society was formed at Denison. A history of the young men who made their initial bow before an audience as charter members of this society would be just as thrilling as it is interesting. Few of those early members realized how soon they would be called upon to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of duty for the sake of their country. Yet before the society had attained its second birthday many of its members had made their last bow, and said their last Fellow Ciceronians and Visitors, and had gone to the great tumult of war. Down through these many years the lamp of learning has been burning in Old Cicero ' s Hall all the while; sometimes brightly, sometimes only in a flicker, but always burning. Naturally after a year of so great success as we had last year, many wondered if we had not reached the high water mark. It would seem at first that we had, but success, especially in literary work, cannot be measured by the outward appearances such as characterized last year ' s work. Constant application by each member to the several duties of the society is infinitely more to be desired than a few brilliant mem- bers (although these come in rather handy at contest time). This has been the spirit of the men this year. The number of men who tried out in the preliminaries has been abnormal, while the pros- ecuting attorney has had very little to do. Our annual banquet was held shortly after the beginning of the second semester and all who attended pronounced it a great success. As next year will mark the jubilee of the Society, we expect to celebrate in fitting style, and will be glad to send information to all who are interested in Old Cicero. page one sixty-two Ufistor of 3rvi!t9 CltemrY Society IN the Spring of 1883 nine members of Cicero Literary Society withdrew from membership and formed a new organization which they called Irving Literary Society in honor of Wash- ington Irving, who v as born just one hundred years before. There had long been felt the need of a stimulus to better work and the friendly rivalry between the two societies filled this gap well. For the first few years the society had no suitable place for holding meetings and they were forced to use recitation rooms or the private rooms of members of the society. But in 1894 both Irving and Cicero were given their present quarters in Doane Academy Building and better work was the immediate result. The year before this had been held the first of the annual con- tests between the two societies. In this contest Irving won the majority of points. For some reason there was no contest held in 1894. This was probably due to the fact that both societies had just moved into their present halls. But in 1895 the present system of annual contests was established and there has been no exception since that time. It is interesting to note that of the fifteen contests held up to this year Irving has won twice as many as she has lost. To further the interest in literary work scholarships are now awarded by the University to the winners in these contests. This action has greatly encouraged the efforts of both societies so that now the annual contest is regarded as one of the greatest events of the school year. Though there are older societies there are none in which the spirit of loyalty is stronger than in Irving. The alumni are never lacking in their support to the society and there is good reason to believe that following the motto: We are one, the society will continue to prosper. M. K.

It is an organization of the students for the benefit of every man in the University. The needs of individuals are always kept clearly before it and the administration is conducted so as to best satisfy this demand. Our Association has no use for the one-sided, improperly developed man save as it can help him to build a well-developed character which will stand four-square to every wind that blows. The ideal man is the perfect man. A well-developed body, a trained mind and a spirit in harmony with the Christ life— these are the characteristics which form the ideal. To carry out this policy the Association is organized into various departments. Each department is under the supervision of a chairman. He, with his associates, gives attention to the work that naturally falls within the scope of his department. While some of the work may seem mechanical it is all aimed to develop and perfect character. C. W.

The new Musical Club has filled a long-felt need, and because of this, has come to stay. All other departments of the University have their organizations — why not the Conservatory, representing as it does, over a hundred students with the same aim? With this thought in mind. Prof. Wood called a meeting of the Conservatory students, early in November, to consider the advis- ability of forming such an organization. The plan met with the hearty co-operation of faculty and students, and a permanent organization was effected, having as its aims, the cultivation of musical appreciation and the development of the social side of Conservatory students. Meetings are held once a month in the Conservatory Parlors. The success of the programs has been largely due to the efficient work of a committee under the direction of Miss Gladys Spencer. The subjects treated in succession have been The Scotch Folk Song, The Serenade Form, and Contemporary Com- posers. The organization aims to combine at each meeting the literary, musical and social elements. While especially for the benefit of Conservatory Students, anyone may become an associate member who has sufficient interest in musical affairs to join. Although the youngest organization, the Musical Club has already proven a great success, and we can wish it long life and continued growth. page one eighty-four 5tli5cellaneou5 OrganimtiORs page one eighty-siz Engineering Society OFFICERS President, ...

Minnie Shaffer rSft A B HE Denison Language Association was organized in 1902, 1 in response to a desire to unify and to encourage the work of the several language departments of the University. Its aim is to stimulate interest in language and literature,, and secondarily, to promote the use of correct, idiomatic English in college circles. Membership is general, as there is no fee or formal obligation resting on the members. Instructors and students co-operate in presenting special papers and articles before the association. Meetings are held every other Friday afternoon, at 3:30 o ' clock, during the college year. The scope of the association ' s work is broad enough to admit all subjects of literary and artistic interest. Reviews of new, important books are frequently given, as well as, occasionally, readings of special selections. Mention of some of the themes discussed during the current year will show the nature of the programs. The first meeting was devoted to the memory of Charles Eliot Norton. Other addresses and papers have treated such topics as: Jules Sandern and His Works, Ferrero and the New History of Rome, The Influence of Phillips Brooks on College Men, Four Elements of Beauty in Poetry, Goethe ' s Influence on Sir Walter Scott, Scott ' s Influence on Wilhelm Hauff. Three meetings have been held this year of more than ordinary interest. The first consisted of a reading of Ibsen ' s tragedy, Rosmersholm, by Miss Eckart. A large audience listened in deep suspense to this reading in Recital Hall, October 15. Mr. Paul Elmer More, a leading critic of New York, gave an instructive lecture on Tennyson on January 12. On February 18, Professor R. S. Colwell ' s illustrated lecture on Sicily, in which he showed several scenes of Messina, attracted unusual attention. The audience filled to overflowing the Geology lecture room. President, V ice-P resident, Secretary, page one eighty-eight ' Ct e t C. HferricK Geological Society?

Herrick Geological Society, organized in the year of 1907 through the efforts of our first President, E. R. Scheffel, has shown steady progress and is fulfilHng the original purpose of fostering a spirit of individual investi- gation along Geological lines. As a fitting close to our first year ' s work a banquet was given in the Geological Halls with Prof. G. D. Hubbard, of O. S. U., as our guest. The occasion was of such a pleasant and helpful nature that the society has seen fit to make the banquet an annual affair. The work of each month was marked for its high standard, and our meetings were occasionally enriched with very interesting reports on original investigation by Prof. Carney and our fellow member, K. F. Mather. A beautiful emblematic pin has been designed, and we hope that it will have a binding influence in our society. It is our desire to establish a society museum in the near future, and provision has already been made so that any gifts intended for such a museum from college alumni and friends as well as society alumni will be preserved for that purpose. page oae ninety ©ranville lecture (Tour e ssoclatian Vg0 FOR the season i905- ' o6 and previously the Lecture Course was run as a branch of Y. M. C. A. work. But this was unsatis- factory for several reasons. First, the town people received the impression that the course was being run by, and for, students. The student body is not large enough to support a good course of this kind, and so without the support of the town people the courses began to lose money and this had to be made up from the already overtaxed treasury of the Y. M. C. A. In the year i905- ' o6 about forty dollars had to be paid out in this way. It is reported tha t the Denison Glee Club kindly agreed to give a concert at Johnstown and devote the proceeds to making up this deficit but that after all the expenses of the trip were paid about twenty cents remained to be turned over to the lecture course committee. This year put the Y. M. C. A. into rather narrow financial straits, and so plans were at once set on foot to avert the recurrence of such an event. Under the leadership of Earl R. Bull a plan was undertaken which has succeeded in interest- ing the town people as well as the students. The Granville Lecture Course Association was incorporated under the laws of Ohio. The trustees are chosen as follows: Two from the Y. M. C. A., one of whom becomes the President of the organization, and the other the Secretary and Treasurer; one from the Denison Faculty; one from the Conservatory Faculty; and one from the citizens of the town. The profits of the Course are kept from year to year as a reserve in case of a deficit. Then, too, a more careful plan for canvassing for the sale of season tickets was laid out, and the town people were more carefully reached through the Times and through circulars. page one ninety-one The result has been most gratifying. Not only have the courses been improved but the price of tickets has been reduced within the reach of every student. And even then the course has been able to keep from fifty to sixty dollars ahead. The Trustees for this past year have been: Mrs. Burton Case, C. E. Goodell, Mrs. E. T. Wilson, C. E. Brown, Secretary and Treasurer, Linn W. Hattersley, President. Mr. Brown will be the President for the coming year, and he will probably be ready to announce next year ' s course by Commencement time. The Course for this year has been as follows: 1.

Patrick page one ninety-seven I5 e Hfeart of Violets ALL day the snow had been drifting and pihng against the window. Outside the nearest bushes showed in indistinct ghostwhite masses; further, where the terrace sloped to Garden Street, the evergreens stood mere dun shadows in the mist of faUing snow, and beyond, all was lost in an unsounded void of gray. The shadows of a winter afternoon blended by the falling snow to a tint uniform, dull, and sombre, pervaded the observ- atory library with an atmosphere of dreariness and gloom in which, to my unfocused eyes, the oak bookcases seemed to stretch an unend- ing vista of logarithms, almanacs and hide-bound volumes of calculations, that, half hidden in their shadowy recesses, reminded me of the shriveled remains of savants, once untiring dim-eyed investigators who zealously wrought their lives into dry and intricate formulae, now packed side by side in the catacomb of obscure fame. The mood of the day so blended with my own that I, working by the window, scarcely noticed the gathering shadows but toiled dully on till the columns ran together and the figures broke from their lines to play odd pranks, and my pen traced outlandish symbols. Ever and again my glance wandered to the vagueness without. Then before my mind ' s eye a picture would form itself — a snow-blown cemetery with the Charles slipping by, its waters black in the gaps of the floating ice. I seemed to pass by hooded monuments, by aisles of snow-choked vaults, by multitudes of uncertain spectres that glimmered through all the obscurity of mingled dusk and snow, to stop at last by a small white plot unbroken by slab or shaft, where I could hear the hiss of the river and the snap and grind of the ice. The plot lay an unrippled expanse of snow but underneath, on the far side, near the river, was an unsodded mound of clay and broken shale. And as I looked a flurry of flakes rose above it, taking form as it moved toward me, and it was a form I knew. The hair page one ninety-eight streamed wildly about the face but I knew her by each curve of the wind-blown mantle, the proud poise of the little head, the out- stretched arm, and stepping forward met— nothing but the driven snow. We two had parted, as many have parted in the spring time of hope, and the routine of life moved sluggishly on, blind and dull, without color or aim. For the beauty of the night sky had been mine through another ' s eyes, and another ' s heart had been my key to all hearts. Now the sombre library and eternal figures were fit symbols of the present, and if ever I raised listless eyes toward the future they met nothing but falling snow. My thoughts were astray in such a melancholy wilderness when Baily entered. Baily! Even after the lapse of years I can see him, a tall bearded figure by the stafl table, standing dim against the murky background of a thousand volumes that rose behind him shelf on shelf, peering at me from the shadows in grave concern, like the rusty, kindly ghost of pedantry. His clothes were of a cut of the early sixties, and some say the cloth. If so, time had dealt with them leniently, for they had merely grown thin and glossy, keeping a dignified, albeit threadbare gentility. With their owner, too, time had dealt gently, for though for forty odd years his primness, precision, taciturn gravity and serious smile had been the wonder and jest of generations of assist- ants; he was still erect, his hair crisp and coal-black though thinning a trifle about the crown and shot with gray. This, the delicate wrinkled texture of his face, and his white womanish hands were barely visible in the twilight of the late afternoon. I was only conscious that his scrutiny was intense and friendly, that he was going to speak, to say something more than work required, and in spite of my numb indifi erence, I felt a vague thrill of interest, for during the years we had been thrown together he had granted me little more than a courteous nod. There were few, none so far as I knew, whom he granted more than a courteous nod. His was a life of undeviating order, and chance, unscheduled chats disturbed it. Each morning he walked from his rooms in a weathered colonial mansion with pillared portico, standing among the elms of a quiet street from which one could see the clock on Memorial, to his classes, where, amid globes and blackboard diagrams, he lectured the morning through to dry, page one ninety-nine aspiring young gentlemen. All afternoon, in his study at the observatory, you could hear the scratch of his pen and the rustle of turned leaves as he toiled on some arid monograph. Then again night found him at the eye-piece of the telescope in the big dome, there to watch and record, till one by one the force trailed home and the watchman began his rounds. This had been his daily cycle for over four decades, and in all likelihood would so continue till fate appointed him a dwelling in some secluded nook in Mt. Auburn, leaving his claim to immortality, the cloth bound remnants of his life ' s endeavor, to yellow among fellow tomes in the dusk of the library. Even so, there was something eminently human in his silent presence, something genial and sympathetic in his easy nod, that gave me a deep regard for Baily. So, when, drawing a chair to the window he sat opposite me, studying my lackluster face with eyes dark from intensity, I could not feel the man was intruding. For a while not a word passed us, but our silence was the silence of com- prehension. My heart melted in the presence of an older sorrow than mine and we sat together in the shadow of a common lonelmess. Slowly, as if uncertain, he took a small morocco case from his inside vest coat pocket, and laid it on my desk. It was worn and thumb-stained, with brass hinges and clasp, and I knew I was looking at the mysterious daguerreotype. During forty odd years the morocco case, for those of a more romantic turn, had thrown a glamour of mystery about his odd figure, and the changeless routine of his coming and going. There was little in his precise mode of life that oflPered a field of speculation, but those of us who had frequent occasion to visit his study would some- times (this was always towards the end of the day, if we opened the door softly), find the astronomer lost in day dreams, a little case, like that of an old fashioned daguerreotype, half opened in his hand. In the course of years many weird and sentimental traditions had gathered around it, but there were few, even of the older of us, who had seen it, and none had ever penetrated its secret. And this is why my fingers trembled a little as I undid the brass clasp and why, no doubt, Baily watched me in such an earnest troubled way. Inside the case wa s Hned with scarlet plush but there was no picture, as I had more than half imagined, of some page two hundred glorious Margaret Fuller nor, yet again, of such a young lady as she of whom Jonathan Edwards writes: She has a strange sweetness in her mind. There was nothing in fact, but a plain card with Mr. C. F. Baily written across it in faded ink. The cardboard was beginning to yellow and the edges were thin and brittle with age and with constant handlino-. o A strange relic for a man to carry, you think.? queried my companion when I had finished the inspection. I ' m not given much to speech, he continued without awaiting my reply. And for that matter neither are you. But we ' ve been friends after a fashion, and in these last days I ' ve been watching you and believe you will understand. It is a fancy of mine, this card, and yet not altogether a fancy. It has its strange points. You noticed a violet odor? Surely — He looked at me with wide eager eyes. There was not the vestige of an odor, yet, I nodded and his face became almost radiant. Besides there ' s Pollock ' s evidence, and mine hostess, and the art shop, and — Well, I will tell you the affair as it happened. It was in the fall of sixty-six while I was still busy with my postgraduate work. We were just beginning to get a hint of the possibilities of spectrum analysis and I had neither time nor inclina- tion to consider anything aside from absorption hues, dispersion, and the perfection of the spectroscope. On an evening, when I was busy compiling a comparison table of spectra drawn during the past week ' s research, Martin confronted me with an invitation to a dinner party. Martin was a youth of some scientific inclination but with a greater leaning toward Brattle Street teas. Now I was not fond of dinner parties and the company of such women as I had met made me feel insufferably dull; then there was my work, but the invitation was from the Dean ' s wife, so I had no choice but to go, and in going I found the card. It comes to me as though it had been yesterday; the glitter of silver, the carnations, the voices and laughter, all in the subdued and crimsoned light that streamed through the red shades of the candles. On my plate was a dinner card, the one I have shown you, only then there was painted in the upper left hand corner a heart shaped wreath of violets. It was an exquisite bit of work, each tendril and flower standing out in the clearest perspective, and tilting page two hundred one the card this way and that I seemed to catch the glint of velvet sheen on the petals. So natural it v as that I half thought myself looking at a tiny wreath of real violets, yet the lines were so chosen and the flovv ers so grouped as to make the whole a design of singular beauty. A still more subtle charm was added by a violet perfume, delicate and fresh as the breath of a May lawn, pervading the entire card. It was a rare bit of art, so I tucked it away in an inner coat pocket and turned to listen to the lady at my right and parry that eternal question, ' Do you read Emerson? ' It was somewhat late when I started home. The night was clear, and crisp with the first frost of the season. I passed through the blackness of the common, the trees but vaguely shadowed in the starlight, and on by the Harvard Square, deserted now and dark save for the street lamps and here and there a light that dimly illumined the interior of some shop. Across the square one occa- sionally caught a glow behind drawn blinds where a belated student was wasting the midnight oil, or perhaps the poker chips rattled in the blue atmosphere of pipes; and here I turned to the gloom of my own street. I had just reached the corner Vv ' hen a strange cardiac disturbance seized me. My heart began to beat rapidly, the throbs could be distinctly felt and suddenly broke into a hurried uneven palpitation. From time to time I had been subject to such seizures and always kept in my apartments a few ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, but there was a marked peculiarity in this attack; my breathing was easy and regular and there were no painful symptoms. Hurrying home I threw off my coat and began poking among the vials of the medicine closet. Having found the bottle and rinsed a glass I discovered, much to my relief, the trouble had gone. To be sure the beats were a little more rapid than usual but nothing to worry one, so I put up the medicine, tended the lamp, spread out my papers, and then thought of the card. In the lamplight it was more than ever a beautiful thing. The velvet sheen had all the soft irridescence of violet petals. The stems were tendril-like and deep glossy green. The perfume was inde- scribably delicate and fragrant. After all, they were not real flowers but violet-like astrodels that bloomed in the Eden of some wondrous fancy. Letting my fingers press the blossoms, as if to feel their cool softness I was conscious of a palpitation in the tips. An idea struck page two hundred two me and placing my hand upon them I felt a throb against the palm. So, this was the secret of my seizure. The card had been put in an inner coat pocket on the left side. During the excitement of the evening I had felt nothing but in the quiet and darkness it had made itself known. A few trials showed that this strange effect was only obtained when one touched the wreath or the space within it; the card outside was like any other bit of paste-board. I had been playing with my treasure for some time, testing this strange quality in all manner of ways, when it was born in upon me, so as to startle me not a little, that the pulsations were exactly similar to the regular throb of a human heart. I pressed it in bewildered wonderment. Yes, there was the systole, and there the diastole, a little more rapid than mine, like that of a child ' s or a woman ' s. Curious, passing curious! It would interest Pollock. I would show it to him in the morning. I found him in a dirty oil-cloth apron, amid the bottles, retorts and stench of his laboratory. He listened to my story, examined the paste-board and covered the wreath with an acid stained thumb. ' Interesting, ' he chirped, ' remarkably so. There are substances which will do that, but they ' re rare. I ' ll analyze it. We can get it off with some turpentine. ' This was not my idea, it was merely his opinion I wanted, and waxed quite indignant at the proposal. I explained, moreover, that not only the pigment but the Vv hite space within the wreath caused those odd pulsations, and pointed out the singular rhythm of the beats and enlarged with some ardor on the beauty of the design. ' You ' re straining your imagination, ' he growled, for he was disappointed. ' They ' re faint and irregular. Anyway, there is chemical action and some day the colors will fade. ' Then he showed his unkempt teeth in a yellow leer. ' I wouldn ' t have thought it, a dry bones like you. ' Who is she, Baily .? ' My face grew hot at the insinuation. Without question Pollock was a grobian. Yet that taunting question awakened a thought and followed me. All day it btizzed through my brain and in the evening put a complete stop to my work on the tables. I found that I had taken out the card, though why or when I have no recollection, was study- ing each line and tint with feverish care, revelling in the strange aroma. There was something about it indefinably feminine and page two hundred three graceful, bringing to mind the picturesque landscapes of the later Renaissance, and those slender, simple, high-minded maidens who haunt the canvas. Folding a handkerchief over the heart, for my fingers and Pollock ' s thumb had left traces, I sat a long while with thoughts intent on that singular throbbing rhythm. An hour passed, or maybe only a few minutes, when a thrill shot from palm to shoulder, leaving me a-tingle with a most weird, a most fascinating discovery. The heart beats were no mere chemical oddities; they were sentient! They were alive! How can I explain. ' ' Have you ever caught a sparrow and felt the throb and tremble of its body There is no sound, but by the startled beat you know the fright, the suspense, the coming struggle. So it was with the heart of violets; only, the throbs were such as accompany a quiet sleep — the sleep that follows a day ' s work. Long into the night I sat, till the card felt warm beneath the cloth, and I seemed to feel the heave and fall of the sleepless breast. At length I aroused myself and walked to the window. Who was she.f Below, a solitary lamp twinkled through the black network of branches; before me the houses rose vague and silent, and over all was the glitter of a cloudless night. I would find her. The art shop stood in one of those narrow but busy streets that discharges its line of drays into the main thoroughfare of Cambridgeport. The pavements are slippery even in fair weather for the sun only strikes between the drab walls at high noon. Still, here was gathered a fraternity of prosperous opticians and jewelers, and here, too, were some of the best studios. If you look you can find the art shop but the engravings are dim and fly-specked and the plate-glass front neglected. That morning all was new and lustrous. In the show-window was the usual assortment of prints and novelties, among them some quaint bits of landscape which ordinarily would have held me, but this morning I passed them by indifferently, for it was here Mine Hostess had bought her dinner cards, and from here I would begin my search. The bell above the shop-door tinkled and a girl came out. The glimpse was a brief one, yet each color and line it stamped sharply in my memory. Hers was a trim little figure. The face beneath the red tamo ' shanter was of a pure transparency that page two hundred four changed tint with each differing mood and thought, and in spite of the square-set jaw and queenly, almost haughty bearing, I knew she was fighting hard to keep back the tears of hurt pride and indigna- tion. You have seen such faces. They stand out from the com- monplace throng of their sisters, enhallowed by the radiance of a lofty spirit which has molded the flesh after the beauty of the soul, some rare perfume, as it were, imbedded and given a fleeting per- manence in the base matter of daily life. I saw her a moment, as she paused on the sunflecked corner, a little woman dressed in blue, and watched the busy rush of the avenue close around her. The shop had a gloomy interior. Madonnas in gilt frame, landscapes, and engravings from old masters hid the walls. Along one side was a counter littered with fancy cards, dainty and grotesque bits of bric-a-brac, and other quaint odds and ends. The mistress was a hard, dry New England dame, who took the card and listened to my questions with ill-suppressed impatience. ' I ' m through with her. It ' s been a rushed season and she was taken on because she could paint some, but the chit has no ideas. Can do nothing but things like that. What they want nowadays at luncheons and dinner parties is something catchy, so. ' And she held up an impressionistic daub of a fiery red damsel dodging a kiss. ' She ' s one of those poor gentry who think they ' re better than their employers. I gave her a piece of my mind this morning and she won ' t come back. Her name? Where does she live.? How should I know.? If you ' re so interested it ' s too bad you weren ' t here a minute sooner. You must have passed her on the way in. ' This was how I saw the painter of the heart of violets, and this was how I lost her. In the weeks that followed I became a haunter of studios and galleries. The policemen of the port came to know me, and the stationers and venders of art would frown as I entered. They had seen nothing of a little artist dressed in blue. There was compensation, though, for this futile searching. Now that I had seen her I found a deeper meaning in the heart th robs and learned to know and love their changing moods with an aff ' ection that grew stronger and more engrossed with the passing days. When the morning sun flecked my carpet they beat with a joyous hopeful pulsation, to merge into the steady throb of the day ' s work. Sometimes they had an odd flutter, as though hesitating and page two hundred five embarrassed, and I knew she was facing such another crabbed merchant as the mistress of the art shop, and would wait with a throb of suspense and anger in my own heart till the altered rhythm told me all had gone well, or caused me to hurl an anathema upon the whole race of shop-keepers. But the best was after tea when, in a broad-bottomed leather chair, drawn up before the fire-place, an antique fire-place with massive andirons and wide projecting mantle, I would sit through the long evening, the heart beating against my own, till she seemed to be nestled by me watching the glowing of the logs in silent content. Months passed and fancy changed to com- radeship. Old friends were neglected. I caught many meaning headshakes, many questioning glances, but what cared I, in the quiet joy of my new life.? So I lived alone with the violets, the perfume, and the heart throbs. Winter changed to spring and spring to summer, and then came the fall. On one of those days when the maple swamps are scarlet, when the New England hills lie russet and golden, and the air is thick with purple autumn haze, I tramped far into the Concord country and sat to rest under an alder thicket, on a stone by the cross-roads. Among the fragmentary pictures that form and dissolve, when our thoughts are idle, one gradually grew and hung permanent. It was a bare attic room beneath the sloping eaves of an unknown house. A wooden bedstead stood far back in the shadow, and by it a crude wardrobe formed by a row of hooks and a flowered muslin curtain, from under which peeped the hems of a woman ' s clothing. Through the single window one had a glimpse of coppered foliage and brown fields. The afternoon sun striking aslant cast great yellow beams on a table strev n with cards, brushes, and half-used paint tubes. By the table was an easel and before the easel perched on a stool was the little artist in blue. Her eyes seemed larger and her face more transpare nt than on the day the bell tinkled, and I saw her at the shop door. She raised the brush slowly, wearily, and then let it fall unheeded to lay her head on her arm among the litter of the table. The picture grew vague, fading before my mind ' s eye, and I was alone under the alders by the cross-roads. Striding home through the twilight mists I burned with a bitter rage against my indolent selfishness. All these past months I page two hundred lix had been living in quiet joyous contentment, in an atmosphere made possible by her struggles and suffering. Now I would find her, for she needed me. That evening the heart throbs beat wearily, changing toward midnight to a feverish, intermittent pulsation. I sat in the leather chair by the empty fire-place, depressed, impatient for morning. Presently a gleam appeared in the black of the opening, and looking closely I saw it was the moonlight that shone through an attic win- dow. The shadow of an easel stretched along the floor, while a pallid beam fell on a bed under the slope of the eave, and on the face of my little artist. How transparent it was! What large dark eyes! How the light glinted silver in her tumbled hair! A cloud must have passed before the moon, for there was nothing but the black of a fire-place. A feeling of utter desolation crept over me. Instinctively my hand pressed the heart of violets and for a moment I did not under- stand; then it came — the heart throbs had ceased. Dawn struggled in, a leaden-gray, a gray that was to tinge the dawns of my life. ' At least, ' I brooded, ' there is the card, but the search is over. ' The perfume brought a certain comfort, but it was not the same. A new odor had mingled with the violet, gaining strength, till by evening there was scarcely a trace of the old fragrance and the card reeked with the odor of fresh-turned sod. The heart of violets too, lost its luster, fading, not as a painting fades on the canvas, but as flowers fade. The petals wilted and the tendrils grew sickly till there was nothing but a tangle of brown stems and shriveled blossoms. And now these are gone. The old man paused and groping through the darkness laid a hand on my arm. Outside the snow still piled against the pane and the wind soughed through the evergreens. It is long since the brown stems and shriveled blossoms faded, but the odor of violets returned and, lingering down the years, and aroma more sweet and delicate than that of old has pervaded the declining days of so crusty and secluded a bachelor as I with an influence fragrant and abiding. page two hundred seven I3l)e I3oucl) i lvine OH, would ye shine with the strength of the springtime Stars of the still winter ' s night?

After seven successive defeats the I dirty, discouraged, gray warriors had turned on the most powerful and overbearing adversary of them all, and had wrested a hair-raising, ten-second victory. Then the almost apathetic rooters became a mob of raving maniacs. In spite of the late hour they seized the tired, happy, champions, hoisted them upon brawny shoulders; and with the band in front descended on the long-suffering college town. On the deserted campus the one huge dormitory stood, silent and sombre in the gathering darkness. But its occupants had not all departed. The door of a small back room opened and a boy, with broom and pail, stepped out and started down the hall. Small, stoop-shouldered, pale-faced, he appeared, as he was, a total stranger to the gymnasium or athletic field. David Kelley was attempting to put himself through his first year of college with such auxiliaries as a purchased scholarship, a few odd jobs, and a position as janitor in one hall of the dormitory. But he was finding it a hard pull and even as he walked along the hall, he was thinking of the thirty dollars which must be procured w ithin a month, if he wished to continue his studies. He slowly climbed two flights of stairs and set his pail down before the door of 56. The two cards on the panel announced the fact that the room was occupied by J. G. and B. R. Abbot. Because of the name of the two brothers, their room had been dubbed The Monastery, and to distinguish him from his brother, Bert Abbot was at first called The Abbess. Some Vv aggish student, noting the similarity of sounds had called him Barabbas, and the name had stuck. Jack Abbott was the Varsity captain and popular idol, but Barabbas, because of his cynical nature and caustic wit, which latter he constantly utilized at the expense of his fellows, did not share his brother ' s popularity. page two hundred nine Kelley inserted his master key in the lock and turning the knob, entered the room with his implements of labor. The shades were nearly drawn and the dim blue gas-flame over the table added but little to the lightness of the apartment. He set down the pail, stepped over to the table, and was about to turn up the gas, when his eye fell upon a couple of bills spread out on the white page of an open book. He picked them up, curiously, and when he saw their denomination a soft whistle escaped his lips. Gee whiz! Talk about careless! And there have been all kinds of thefts around here lately too. Wish it was mine. With that tenner Perk owes me it would just pull me through. Then, as a sudden thought came to him, his face paled. For a full minute he stood, turning the bills over and over in his fingers. Then, with a quick motion he jammed them into his pocket and started toward the door. As he did so there came the soft rattle of a key in the lock. Quick as a flash he wheeled, jerked the bills from his pocket, spread them on the book and seized his broom. When he turned again the key was still clicking in the lock but the knob did not turn. In a moment, however, the door opened softly, the intruder slipped in and noiselessly closed it behind him. Then Kelley reached up and turned on the light. The stealthy visitor staggered back and cringed up against the door his face livid with terror. Well, Kenyon, said the other quietly, entirely recovered from his own fright. So you ' re the sneak who has been going through these rooms with a pick lock. Thought everybody was at the celebration, didn ' t you. Everyone lays it onto us poor janitors. He paused, but receiving no reply, continued: I suspected ou before and now I am sure of it. There is just one chance for you. You get that stuff back to those fellows and I ' ll give you a chance. But if there is any more of this light-fingered work, out you go. He stopped again for he suddenly noticed that Kenyon was looking not at him, but beyond him, his face simply ghastly with fear. Curiously he followed the direction of the other ' s gaze and then he nearly fainted. Standing just within the curtained alcove, his lip curled in a sardonic smile, stood the younger Abbott. Stillness reigned for about ten seconds while Barabbas, with that hateful smile, stood looking from one to the other. At last he spoke. page two hundred ten Isn ' t this perfectly lovely? he murmured gently. First Kelley comes in and purloins some of my filthy lucre. Then Kenyon sneaks in and Kelley, who has suddenly reformed, gives him twenty dollars ' worth of hypocrisy with a capital H. Then I appear and spoil the effect of the sermon. Forgive me, children. It hurts me more than it does you. His manner suddenly changed and he advanced toward them, his black eyes piercing them through. I don ' t know which one of you is the worst, but I do know who has been doing this promiscuous thieving. Kelley, you take that sermon of yours and apply it to yourself. That ' s all, good day. The two culprits found their tongues simultaneously but he cut them short with a gesture. Still smiling, he pointed to the door. Kenyon, like the cur that he was, slunk out at once. Kelley hesitated a moment and looked back half-appealingly, but seeing no change in Abbot ' s face, went out, his face a dark crimson. The students were just getting back and one was just passing the door at the time. Full house, he yelled, Everything going out. Yes, said Barabbas, And it had better stay out too. Left alone, he flung himself into a deep chair and chuckled. Shades of Ali Baba but this is rare. Ho! Ho! I think I do know all about it. He reached out for the money and as he did so he happened to notice what it was lying upon. It was his brother ' s Bible. It was open at the i8th chapter of John, and unconsciously his eye fell upon the last verse. Well, said he, at last, It may be so, but I don ' t like to see it published. I am inclined to think Dicky was correct in calling this a full house. According to Hoyle a full house is three of one kind and two of another. Well, here we have it. Three knaves and two tens. page two hundred eleven Oa tl)e TDoge of Venice 5? OLD man, within thy sombre study bare Of charm, of color, and of kindly cheer. My worldly prattle destined not to hear What is thy thot, of men, of war, or prayer? What has occasioned this intensest thot That in thy forehead, furrows out the lines, And shows to all the world the certain signs. Of thy devotion, from thy study bought? Shall I sometime forget the busy hum Of rumor ' s voices and the idle tale. That draws me from my thots, and never fail When I ' m alone, to daily worldward come? I only ask that I may live to be.

Why does Miss Pattengill admire the Gibson girl? Why does Odie always have such perfect ventilation in his class-room? Why do Sargent and Swygert never talk politics? Why does Gil never lecture the students in the absence of Prex? Why does Woodie shave? Why is Kibbie not more polite? Why does Brumback never use the word occurrence? Why does Dick never speak above a whisper? Why does Willie never crack a joke? Why does Gil never make a mistake in giving Chapel notices? Why does Stickney take such long strides? Why do Gil and Dick always agree? Frizelle (in the pulpit) — Brethren, next Sunday evening I intend to speak on the sub- ject, ' The Devil, ' and I wish to assure you that I am full of my subject. L.

In the Physics Class Miss D — . (discussing conductivity) — If a piece of wood and iron were exposed to the hot sun which would feel coolest to the hand, and why? Dorothy S — . The wood would because the wood would not conduct heat like iron would, would it? Gil (to his class) — I do not smoke, I do not chew. Do any of you? I ' m afraid you do; And if you do It will hurt you, too. Miss Sefton (in laboratory) — Professor, I wish I had a thumb as large as yours so that I could cover the end of this test tube. Brummy — Why don ' t you use your tongue ? Calhoun (In English Class, giving an example of simile) — If I were like my scattered-brain companion ... Roberts — Why, that ' s no simile! The objects compared are too nearly alike. From a Senior Class Meeting A matter of very great importance was up for discussion in one of the Senior Class meet- ings. (It has been hinted that it had some- thing to do with the 1908 Adytum.) The following is but a fragment from the Secre- tary ' s book. Mr. President — It seems to me that this matter ought to be attended to as Earley as possible even though our treasury is at present somewhat Slack. Now that the Bridges crossed we ought not hesitate to face the music. There is no use for us to Hunt around for someone to Willis the necessary means, but since we can not keep on Owen it is up to us to pay it. Turner which way you will the Class must Barrett. If we can not Jewett down we must Foote the bill. The President — Fellow Classmates: Watt do you think of the situation.? It is plainly evident that we can not Trimmer down, so I think the Wright thing to do is to pay it and pay it Quick or the whole school will look upon us as a bunch of Greene Crooks. GLOSSARY Football — A system of manslaughter very fashionable among boys. From the Latin words footibus, meaning put the boots to him, and baloona, meaning up in the air. Students surrounded by ambulances. T act — The art of knowing when to laugh at Willie ' s jokes. Basketball — A game in which all the players are looked down upon. Buck — A broken engagement which the Prof, enjoys as does the student, though he keeps mum. Smear — A gradeless plaster often applied by the Prof. Flunk — A manifest smear. Delinquent Committee — A Committee of the most energetic members of the Faculty whose business it is to look after the affairs of the students so as to preventflunks; enable some of the students to receive a one-center now and then and bring joy to the heart of the Reg- istrar One-Center — A system of wireless teleg- raphy.

The Land of Going To Be, my dear, Has never fading joys; It stretches green and beautiful Beyond the city ' s noise, Where hearts are always loving And there ' s room for you and me To live and laugh and labor in The Land of Going To Be. The Land of Going To Be, I know Is not the world of now, Where heads are bowed and weary And we blindly question, how. For here I dream and waken — Your face I may not see; But waking is as dreaming in The Land of Going To Be. V ictor Hugo Hoppe page two twenty-seven 3une iDap5 SWEET summer reigns in the land I know For the flowers are open, the rosebuds blow, And the birds repeat Their message sweet As joyfully through the woods we go; And with weary feet, From the dusty street, We wander along in the green woods slow. Not only the birds and the flowers by the way Awake to sing in the gladsome lay, But each heart rejoices Until h appy voices Make light the darksome and troublesome day; Until everything thrills From valley to hills In a merry and heart raising roundelay. And when nature ' s pleasures to us rebound. And the voice of each being gives utterance to sound; Then we silently know. When the light winds blow, That praises are sounding from sky to the ground. To the woods we go, Not with voices low. But with shouts that in these green temples resound. Frances F.
