n 9 1 The Adytum Nineteen Hundred Ten Vol ume XVII Published by the Junior Class of Denison University Granville, Ohio 1910 This book is dedicated to Governor Judson Harmon whose busy pubHc life still holds a love and interest for Denison Greeting WHEN each and every loyal Denison- lan faculty member or student, eith- er graduated or still at the daily round of college work shall have found within the covers of this book something to revive the memories, faded though still very reaU of the pleasures and pastimes, the light and the shadow of the days gone by; when these mem- ories stimulate a deeper and richer love for Granville, the home of our Alma Mater, then shall we all feel that this ADYTUM has been a success. In behalf of the JUNIOR CLASS of NINETEEN HUNDRED ELEVEN the Board presents this, the seventeenth volume of THE ADYTUM, May it speak for itself.

PiGG 8 THE FACULTY— ' tis everything here,— counselor, friend, taskmaster and foe. But whichever phase of the possibility appeals to us depends either upon our intelligence, appreciation and sympathy or upon our selfishness, willfulness, and laziness. Those little whims and fancies, those odd manners of speaking and acting, the way they walk and the hobbies they ride— we talk about them all and we smile and jest about them, but down deep in the soul of each of us is a love for the men and the women who have given of their lives and energies— yea, and of the ambitions and dreams that once impelled them, when they were looking out upon the world from that point which we ourselves have just reached. Those gray hairs and those furrowed features speak eloquently of a fight that has been fought and a faith that has been kept; even those eyes that are yet undimmed by years of grinding routine tell us that we are welcome to the best their owners possess if we will but take it. What if we do call them by little pet names, what if we do childishly fret at seeming injustices! There are years coming hereafter when all we shall have left of dear old Denison will be the memories of the days we have spent here. Then will those memories become ever sweeter and more precious and none will be more often recalled and more tenderly considered than the memories of the noble men and women who guided us and helped us as we worried along under our tasks, who made many allowances for our short- comings as we plodded on our way up FooFs Hill, and who saw in us, not the poor creatures we were then, but the possibilities yet unfolded.

Barker. In the ten years of her administration here as dean, all that was truest and noblest in the nature of a true and noble woman was given freely and lovingly to the highest interests of the College where she 1 .d been a former pupil and teacher. It could not bLit follow that one with so marked a personality as hers would leave an impress on the lives of those who knew her, never to be effaced ; and, likewise, would give to the administrative side of Shepardson a progressive impulse never to be lost. She was singularly happy, Ave think, in uniting the function of executive and friend, for alwa.ys a clear-sighted, wise and catholic judgment was combined with that more natural and personal touch of heart interest. Her oiitlook was the broadest and she stood for personal development through individual responsibility rather than by arbitrary restraint. Under her wise ruling Student Government was introduced and given a dignity and strength among the student body that has made it an undoubted cultural force in college life. Her desire was ever to lessen rules and develop in their stead sentiment, though she never made the mistake of doing away with non-essentials till essentials had been grasped. Freedom she promoted in every way but never for a moment countenanced a tendency to license. Religion to her was a life — a life that should develop height and breadth and depth ; that should constantly irradiate the sweet influence of an ever- growing consciousness of divine ' worship. No one who ever had the privilege of hearing her speak could help feeling that she brought a message simply and spontaneously from lier own heart experience rather than a body of advice based on mere observation of the life about her. She did much, too, during her administration here to draw college and townspeople into closer association. All who knew her loved her and her personal friendships in Granville were many. No social function was quite complete without her and as a hostess her charm and grace was acknowledged by all. No one could more easily and happily let fall the toga from her shoulders, whenever she was called upon to do so, and no words can more truly interpret her than to say she was, above all else, a natural and sweetly - womanly woman.

President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, 26 Senior Class History THE Senior strolled down Broadway one moonlight evening and as the town clock tolled off the hour of twelve he paused to have another look at his old friend in the steeple. As the last vibrant peal echoed through his brain the hands beckoned to him and a rumbling, croak- ing voice interrupted his meditations. Ere I have tolled off many more hours the class of 1910 will be but a memory to Granville and to Denison University ; but not so to me. I saw you in the fall of 1906 coming to join the college on the hill, boys and girls led in tow by the T. M. C. A. and T. W. C. A. representatives. Even then there showed in you a determination to go in for all Denison has to offer, and that alone aroused my admiration, and it was with no small interest that I saw you band yourselves together with Harry E. Orr as your president. You may be sure that I closely noted your progress. Those first da.ys tried the mettle of the class, and you showed the world and the Naughty-Niners that you had come to college for intellectual advance- ment, for the highest and the best. The loss of such a minor thing as the cane-rush of the ear made no difference to you. It was simply the public demonstration of where you as a class placed the emphasis in college attain- ment. You again demonstrated this purpose during the following autumn, when the class of 1911 presumed to encounter you on Beaver Field, and you showed your spunk when your beloved president, Carl Duerr, was persuaded to change his abode for an evening. The adage says that grit wins, but so does wit, as the chap can tell you who spirited away the films over which the Fresh- men were rejoicing The Class of Nineteen Hundred Ten holds a unique place in the annals of old D. U., unique in that you cheerfully yielded athletic honors to the more needy sister classes. However, from among 3 ou have come such football heroes as Hart, Stilwell, and Walker. Again, you are unicjue in your social life. Do you remember your first stunt in the gym? ■ Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. October 27, 1906, 7 :30 p. m. — what a rollicking frolic that was ! Away with formality ; Let ' s get acquainted ! And each and every class since then See Page 41. 27 has followed the pace you set. year the invitation to It was not surprising that earl y in the Sophomore Come to the Gym and play with me On the night of October twenty-three was responded to with such genuine good will, nor that there was a happy crowd at the picnic which was held May 14. Black Hand the place, dear Sopho maid; The thunderbolts of Jove mil aid To wheel us hence — for what event? Why! 1910 on pleasure bent! While you are to be congratulated on your informal stunts you have been equally successful in sustaining the dignity of an upper class. The Junior banquet will long be remembered and the prom was indeed an innovation. How proud ' ' Bob ' ' Dunn was to be the president of such a class ! To prove your utter disregard for time-worn customs and outlandish habits you bravely faced the taunts and jeers of other classes and let the Senior Circus of 1909 go dov Ti into history undisturbed. As a reward your own side- show has been conducted in a manner to fittingly recompense for your noble endeavor to help preserve peace and decorum. And so the happy, successful years have come and gone, and the loyalty for their Alma Mater in the hearts of the steady plodders of the class of 1910 has grown apace. There are those of you who came to Granville that fall of your verdant year who are not now numbered with your class. Some were wise, very wise, and they have gone on before. Others were otherwise, much other- wise, and they are still dragging on behind. But none have I forgotten, and I cherish them all with the children who pass and repass beneath me day after day. I love them all. You have builded w ll. and with ' Buck ' Stilwell to direct your remaining activities, I have no further anxiety for your welfare. Long life to the ' best behaved ' class of Denison University! The Senior waited for a further sign from the oracle. But a cloud released a flood of moonlight and revealed the clock asleep.

Would that he had read the history of the Junior Class instead of that of the present Sopho- mores. In the face of such a statement the author has felt somewhat diffident about taking up his task. But the subject has inspired him vntli the hope that possibly he can in some measure correct this impression. Kind reader, if you seek a pseudo-history, highly spiced with hyperbole and break-neck feats of the imagination, you must look elsewhere than these pages. Time will not permit nor would your patience warrant us to boast of either real or imaginary deeds. Our only desire is that you may gain some conception of what this class is and what it has meant in the University ' s real life. To do this we will give simply a record of its history with perhaps one or two events in fuller detail, events which have had their significance to tiie entire College as well as to the Class. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Eleven entered Denison in the fall of nineteen hundred seven with little pomp or ceremony except the red tape con- nected mth registration. In fact, Gil. and the rest of the school did not discover our presence until we were absent one September morning from Fresh- man A. The one event that could deter us at all in our quest for knowledge was the Rush. The Freshman-Sophomore Scrap was a presage of the class ' s subsequent career in college. Quietly and unobtrusively it has gotten what it has sought, whether in the class-room or on the gridiron. In Basketball, also, as Freshmen, we easily defeated the Sophomores. In all of our games we were uniformly successful except against the Juniors. There spirit and vigor had to yield to ' varsity discipline. The Class has been favored on various occasions above other classes by the presence of various college eelelw-ities at its official functions. One instance, especially, comes to mind. Tennyson truthfully says, In the spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. So on one of the balmy afternoons in early May the Freshmen and Sophomores prepared for a little social diversion. After due preparations had been made the Freshmen de- parted on hay wagons for the Welsh Hills. But as for the Sophomores, they were as sheep without a shepherd, for their president was wandering over the hills and far away. Upon their arrival in the Welsh Hills the Freshmen found the Sophomore president awaiting them. He had s pent the previous night and day, with two Freshmen as guides, hastening across the country in order to lend dignity to the Freshman Stunt. In later years, however, owing 43 to the fact that the class has many favored sons who have attained to some ' •epute in school, it has not found it necessary to borrow from other less favored classes. It behooved a class which had so successfully engaged in athletics in its Freshmen year to turn its attention in its Sophomore year to lines of intellect- ual attainment. It was with little concern, therefore, that as Sophomores we yielded the laurels in the Rush to the much larger force of the Freshmen. Dur- ing the Sophomore year the class honorably sustained the record it had made the year before in Nth power and Greek Roots. The social activities of the class have been very successful. All the members of the class recall with keen delight the trolley ride to Black Hand last June. A picture of the group is presented on another page of this volume. We cannot speak of all our class functions individually. But we must add that the bond of fellowship has been strengthened among the members of the class as a whole and between certain single couples who are planning to merge that single life into a double oneness of existence. In literary lines the members of 1911 have been very active. Of the ' Varsity debaters this year, four are Juniors. Five out of the eight Lewis Prize Contestants last June were members of the Green and White. On the Philo-Euterpe Contest for the last two years seven of the contestants have be- longed to our ranks. In athletics we have kept well to the front. Last spring a class member won the loving cup, having proved himself the best all-round athlete of the University for three successive years. In the management of athletics the class has exerted a definite influence. A goodly share of captaincies and manager- ships have come to the athletes of our number. Three of the four student mem- bers of the board of control for the past two years owe allegiance to Nineteen Eleven. The one event during a class ' s career in college which can in any sense measure as a criterion of its success as a social organization is the Junior Ban- quet. To speak of this year ' s banquet as a success is altogether inadequate in describing it. Sufftce it to say that it was held at the Warden Hotel, Newark, and fifty-six sat down at one table. To bring to a close a history such as this without noting the passing away of one of Denison ' s most hallowed traditions would be criminal. It is the sad and lamentable duty of this historian to sing a requiem over the deceased Senior Circus. The place of Willie ' s Circus, both human and feathered, is assured in history. The author would reveal an utter lack of historical discern- ment were he to remark that the demise has been sudden. The Senior Circus saw its palmiest days in the regime of the Irish Policeman. The doom of the circus was sealed when in 1908 the black race, which constitutes an ever- 44 growing portion of our population, was forever barred from attending. Since then the Seniors have dilated unmolested on the glorious prospects of the re- public. In concluding this history it would not be amiss to express this belief. We trust that the best of the history of this class has not been written. The achievements of Nineteen Eleven, though they may loom up large in the eyes of some, are but milestones in the career of a class which will become greater as the years pass by. That which they have done, but earnest Of the things that they shall do. Harmon A. Nixon, Historian. An Amb ition ( ' Dedicated to the Class of Nineteen Eleven) IN tli • swift game of life, growing swifter each day Men are toiling and striving with might To accomplish big things and the goal that they seek Is ever far up, out of sight.

The class of 1912, at this, the end of its sophomore year, has waxed so mighty that it seems that the pre- scribed limit innst surely be reached. That its growth will cease is a thing beyond all possiliility ; there remains, therefore, nothing but for it to take a new direction. mikI just what this direction will be is a matter of interest and speculation to both the faculty and other classes. It may not l)e amiss for us, this famous class, as we stand in the prime of life, as it -were, glorying in the past and reveling in the future, to pause and acquaint you Avith some of our achievements. Our Freshman year was one round of victoi ' ' . We had scai-cel.y organized until several of our doughty war- riors captured and carried off the pride of the haughty 11 ' s — their overworked President Whyte. Two da.ys we kept him a royal prisoner in a large forest, and then at Dr. Hunt ' s suggestion that he be allowed the privilege of attending the class scrap impending, he was brought back and set free for the occasion. That class scrap was one of the decisive battles of Denison. The Sophomores were not defeated merely — they were annihilated. One ambulance after another bore away their dead and dying, while the irrepressible Freshmen, scarcely aft ' eeted at all, gathered around a steaming coffee can and then went home to re.joice and dress. Nor was our Freshman year without its social gayeties ais(). In the fall we had a fancy dress party, where men and women of high, low, and middle estate mingled together in as much confusion as do the actors in one of Prof. Willie ' s romantic dramas. Zu Zu Biscuit boys lingered in the corners with Redfern princesses; one of Baker ' s Chocolate milkmaids took care of a Llellin ' s Food baby; and a ragged Pear ' s Soap tramp led the grand march with a trim Purity Flour maiden. Scarcely less cosmopolitan in its character was the pic- nic in the spring. Avhere. however, provisions rather than providers, played the leading role. No sooner had our Sophomore year begun than we made arrangements to teach the incoming Freshmen a lesson — to teach them a lesson, mark you. not to annihilate them as we had done the Sopliomoi-es before. Denison cannot afford that sort of thing often. With that in view we erected a pole — one that would test the mettle of our little new brothers the next day. We nailed our flag to the top of it, and then watched as they exerted their puny strength to bring it down. At last they succeeded, as we had intended they should, and after we had dragged them through the creek to cool them off, we brought them back to Beaver Field and let them beat us in a football game. Up to this time we have laid all stress on military and social conquests. While these will not be lost sight of in the future, they will be subordinated to intellectual progress under the leadership of— well, candidates for the position are few. and we are not ready to give out definite information concerning such a choice. But whoever is chcsen, be assured that 1912 wiil l eep the faculty as busy as she has always kept her sister classes. ' Rah ! ' Rah ! 1912 ! EsTELLE Deardo:?ff, Hisforian. Sophomore Class R. M.

Gradually, however, they came to lose their fear, even of the white headed bear that growled in the oifice, and commenced putting their forces together making out of all those fragments a class with unity and strength. Their first task was to organize. And that was a matter of considerable moment, since the class was the largest that had ever entered Denison. But a leader was found who has proven himself able to guide his comrades to victory and honor. The first achievement was the defeat of the Class of 1912 in the Freshman- Sophomore Scrap on Beaver Field. Can anyone who witnessed it ever forget the brave struggle of the men of ' 13 or the sight of the class hero, Eeynolds, perched in midair, chiseling the Sophomore flag from the pole? Though the whole day aggregated a victory for the Freshman class, there was a chance after the tug- of-war to show the true spirit of sport by taking defeat manfully. The oppor- tunity was creditably embraced. The class feels that its athletic ability is appreciated by the Faculty, for President Hunt honored three of the Freshmen with invitations to his dinner for the Varsity Football Team. In Basket ball, too, the class has started a notable career. The Seniors took the little end of a 31 to 4 score, and — Avell, you ' ll find the rest of the story on another page of this book, in the interelass basket ball records. The first party was held in Doane Gymnasium soon after the scrap, and by that time the members of the class had so many interests in common that it seemed as though they had scarcely arrived before it was necessary to leave. In fact, some of the more ardent members overdid the business slightly, and thereby hangs a tale. As proof of the literary ability of the Freshmen, it need only be stated that two of the members of the class were accorded the honor, somewhat unusual for first year men to attain, of being chosen as alternates on the Univer- sity Debating Teams. The college literary societies, too, have felt the impulse of the new life and ambitions of the many Freshmen who have joined tliem. Thus, partly through individual and partly through united efforts has been erected a class foundation which promises to withstand the storms of the next three years, and proves beyond doubt the worth of Nineteen Thirteen.

For one ' tis a tragedy mellow with age. For another, a child of the heart. Aye, friend, we are all in the cast of the play. And onr lines are the lives that we live, And our conscience the prompter by night and by day. The reward is the pleasure we give. Not always the fool wears the cap and the bells To show you how droll is his part. For often the laughter that on his lip dwells Is an echo of grief from his heart. Play on ! Do not ring down the curtain in tears — Speak up and speak out from your soul. Give voice to your courage — away with your fears! To know, is the ultimate goal. When Fate calls your exit — your epilogue said. And the lights and the music are gone, You ' ll find a live puppet is cast for the dead; The play must forever go on. Elsie E. Giffokd. 102 The LadyPof the Lyons Presented by Shepardson College, May 15, 1909. CONTRARY to the custom of other years, Philo and Euterpe united in giving Bulwer Lj tton ' s ' ' Lady of Lyons, ' ' proving that a play given by all Shepardson could be as great a success as one given by either Literary Society separately. The drama was staged in the Granville Opera House. The parts were all well interpreted, although the production was wholly amateur. Under the skillful management of Miss Montgomery and Mr. Hoppe it was pronounced a decided success. As the name suggests, the scene of the play is laid in Lyons, France, during the Direstoire period. Beauseant, a wealthy merchant of Lyons, has been refused the hand of the beautiful Pauline, the daughter of M. and Mme. Deschapelles. Her parents are very ambitious for her and anxious that she should marry some wealthy nobleman in order to gain the title which they so covet. Beauseant, who has not the most amiable of dispositions, and who is not the most noble of characters, seeks revenge upon the innocent Pauline. In the meantime Pauline has been receiving messages and tokens of love from an unknown admirer who signs himself, Claude. Pauline is not averse to these tokens and receives them with pleasure. By chance, or perhaps by fate, Beauseant happened to stop one night in a small inn, and there he meets the unknown lover of Pauline, who is in reality Claude Melnotte, the son of a poor widow living in a humble cottage not far from Lyons. Beauseant at once sees his chance for revenge upon the beau- tiful Pauline. He hires this boy with carriages and fine clothes, and has him marry under an assumed title the Lady of Lyons. So the beautiful Pauline is wooed and won by Claude Melnotte, and they go home to the humble cottage of his widowed mother. Poor Pauline I She little realized to what she was coming, and it is some time before she can be made to believe that this is the home of her prince whom she now finds is not a prince at all, but a wretched imposter. At her summons her parents come and take her back to their home, and there she remains, grieving for her husband. He in the meantime resolves to make himself worthy of her, and sets out to make his fortune. He joins the French army, and under an assumed name becomes a great general. But Beauseiint does not stand in the background during this time. For two years he urges Pauline to marry him but is always refused. At last he tells her that unless she gives iinmediate consent he mil foreclose the mortgages on her father ' s property which are in his possession, and so bring disgrace upon her family. So, regardless of self she consents, in order to save her father ' s good name, for she thinks her first husband is dead. She has scarcely done so when a great general appears in Lyons, who proves to be none other than the lost Claude. Rich, as well as renowned, he is able to pay the debts of M. Deschapelles and save Pauline from the snares and treachery of Beauseant. Cast of the Play Claude Melnotte Colonel Dumas Beauseant Olavis M.

ON May twenty-first Calliope Literary Society rendered Shakespeare ' s whole highly commendable. The new scenery was pleasing, the and is difficult of rendition. But Calliope ' s presentation was on the tragedy, Julius Caesar. This is one of the masterpieces of literature forum scene especially. All the equipment was typically Eoman and trans- ported the audience to the imposing scenes of the ancient city. Several individual actors deserve favorable comment. Frizelle cred- itably represented Brutus. Excellency in interpretation together with dignity and force in rendition marked the part throughout. Mr. Frizelle ' s powerful voice and pleasing presence excited admiration. Julius Caesar was well played by Williams. He displayed with striking effect the character of that great Roman — his haughtiness, his composure. But Caesar didn ' t wear Walk-Over Shoes. Waybright delivered with power Antony ' s famous oration. Oratorical ability was in evidence. Campbell ' s interpretation of Casca deserves mention. Cassius was well rendered also by Eschman, even to the lean and hungry look. A. C. Earley ' s work as manager was complimented by all. Although chosen but a short time previous to the presentation, under his faithful efforts the play was a success. The high quality of the scenery and general equipment is worthy of recognition. The society is also under deep obligations to V. H. lioppe, under whose direction the drama was given. The stage setting was in the main artistic. Amateur actors can be trained only with difficulty. But the character of the result proves Iloppe ' s ability. Cast of the Play Julius Caesar G. B. Williams Mark Antony E. W. Waybright , • Gasskis K. H. Eschman ' Metell ' us ' L. W.

Viola, a mayden fayre and beautiful, was tossed up by a fearful storme on the coast of lUyria. Heartbroken over the loss of her twin brother whom she supposed had perished in the storme, having neither kith nor kin, she soughte to forget her sorrowe and loneliness in adventure. Accordingly she dis- guised herself and became a page in the household of the Duke Orsino under the name of Cesario. Not far from the Duke ' s palace lived the proud ladye Olivia, whose hand he soughte in marriage. To her he sent his favorite page Cesario laden with messages and gifts of love. The ladye cared noughte for the Duke and spixrned his favours haughtily. But the fayre, delicate face of the boy appealed to her just as it had already appealed to the hearte of the stern Duke.

ON Saturday evening, December fourth, was given probably the best Henry IV. The whole drama as written by Shakespeare was staged, erary Society presented the first part of Shakespeare ' s King amateur play ever witnessed by a Granville audience. Franklin Lit- Although by amateurs, the effort was of a high character. Much credit is due the director, C. A. Neyman. His painstaking efforts, patience and tact deserve high commendation. Several men in the cast merited a word of appreciation. The King was represented by Z. D. Browne. This part was well interpreted and forcefully played. A. R. Tuttle, with variations, impersonated Falstaff, that famous, fat King of Fools. His playing was exceedingly realistic. It could hardly be excelled. T. B. Smith, played Prince Henry in a striking and artistic way. His appearance and delivery were indeed becoming the role he assumed. That remarkable character, Hotspur, was brilliantly presented by W. S. Webb. He showed reserve and magnetism as well as accurate interpretation. Others deserve mention. It would not be fair to the pretty girls of Granville not to tell of the way S. R. Webb looked and played as the Hostess. Indeed, the whole cast is to be complimented. The stage settings were numerous and difficult, but the changes were made quietly and quickly. The fact that Falstaff ' s wig came off and was deftly replaced, or that the Prince did a slight of hand trick with his sw ord in the midst of a mortal conflict, characterized by grease-paint blood, only added to the hilarity of the evening. To A. K. Mather, as business manager, must be given much credit for the success of his part of the performance. 108 Cast of jhe ' Play King Henry the Fourth Z. D. Browne Henry, Prince of Wales T. C.

It is important because it develops musical ability and is one of the best means of familiarizing people in all parts of the country with the name of Denison University. . ■ The success of the club during the season of ' 08- ' 09 was marked. Seven- teen concerts were given, and at each many expressions of appreciation were accorded. Though only two concerts have been given this year, we feel justified in saying that this season will equal, if not surpass, that of ' 08- ' 09. Eighteen ceneerts have been arranged -with a possibility of three more. A nine-da.y west- ern trip will be taken during the spring vacation. On this trip the Club will appear in Adrian, Detroit, Joliet and Chicago. Shepardson Glee Club HE Shepardson Glee Club is composed of twenty-five members with Mrs. Wilson as leader. They sing at various functions during the school year when requested to do so. Last year under their avispices Miss Brennan gave a concert here. This year, in April, they will bring three artists to Granville to assist Mrs. Wilson in giving the opera, The Persian Garden. Their annual concert, which is being worked iip with great diligence and enthusiasm, will be given May fourth. Ill 1 Denison Glee Club F. E. Wolf, Director FIRST TENORS F. E. Wolf W. L. Jordan R G.

Vice President Ruth Rockwood Secretary HoMBE Wickenden .... Treasurer THE Denison Musical Club, which was organized in November, 1908, has made splendid progress in its aim both to unite Conservatory- students socially and to make possible better appreciation of the best mmic. The interest in this young organization has been steadily increasing, and, as valuable time and labor are bound to produce good results, it is certain that the Club is on the road to success. The work this year has been of such a character that it is solid proof of what the Club is doing, and what it may accomplish in the musical life of Denison. The subjects treated have been The Development of the Pianoforte, The Lives of Some of Our Greatest Composers, The Present Status of Music, ' ' and ' ' American Songs and Song Writers. ' ' Much is due to the program committee with Marie Porter as chairman, and the hearty cooperation of Prof. Carl Paige Wood for the excellent work which has been done. Early in the fall a general reception was given for old and new students. This was another step toward the development of social element in the Club. In order that the people of Granville may get an adequate idea of what this organization is doing and what it stands for, it has been decided to give an annual recital just before the close of the school year. The membership is not limited to Conservatory students, but any one who is interested has the privilege of becoming an associate member. 116 Mandolin and Guitar Club Clifford S.

Augustine Spencer Carman, after ten years spent in Granville as Corresponding Secre tary of the Ohio Baptist Education Society, and Educational Secretaiy of Denison University, returns to the pas- torate, accepting the call of the Baptist Church at Marietta. It is fitting that the Adytum should note the event, review his life, especially the part covered by his residence in the college community, and wish him Godspeed in resuming the line of work for which he was trained, and which he had pursued before beginning the task which he now lays down. Mr. Carman is an Ohio man somewhat at large. He was born in 1859 at Ashland, where his father, Isaac Newton Carman, nobly aided by his wife, Julia Spencer, was then serving the Baptist Church as pastor. Augustine, the oldest of five children, grew up, got his early training and saw life in the four states ( Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan ) and in most of the thirteen towns where the family resided during the forty years of his father ' s pastoral work. He got the characteristic training that the Carman home, — the Free Church manse it would have been called in Scotland, — stood for during a gen- eration. It stood, among other things, for certain reforms, more unpopular then than now; for ready expression; for earnest use of educational opportunities, — the parents had studied at Bethany College or at Oberlin,— and for the ministry of music in the church and community. The children sang marvelously, giving very acceptable concerts with their mother as escort, accompanist and con- ductor, — for instance, at the Denison commencement in 1875. 120 At Indianapolis he finished his high school training. His college course was pursued in about equal installments at the University of Illinois and the University of Rochester, where he belonged to the Delta Upsilon fraternity. At the latter institution he graduated in 1882, his record for scholarship securing him election to the Phi Beta Kappa society and class honor besides. tlis residence at Rochester was extended three years longer by a very successful course of stud.y in the Baptist Theological Seminary, which gave him the B. D. degree in 1885. Fourteen years of pastoral life followed: three in Cincinnati, five each in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Springfield, Ohio, and one year at Dayton as acting pastor in Dr. H. F. Colby ' s absence. His service as field secretary of the Granville schools began in January, 1899, and has just ended. He has had his share in promoting the notable increase in the number of stiidents that has marked the past ten years of Denison ' s history. His activ- ity in bringing the cause of ministerial education and of college training in general to the heart and conscience of Baptist churches, large and small, has made him well known in all parts of Ohio. He has extended and intensified the eifort to bring the college into closer relation to the high schools. During the first half of the eleven years spent in Granville, Mr. Carman was Lecturer on Histor.y. His personal investigations concerniing Baptist educational pioneers in the Middle West have resulted in valuable contributions to denominational history. Some of his previously published papers and pamph- lets have dealt with related subjects, for example : ' ' The duty of parents con- cerning the higher education of their children, 1893: anri The Gospel and the Greek mysteries, 1897. He is still a frecpient contributor to the religious papers. Diiring his educational propaganda he has often used the press and pictorial illustration with skill and judgment. A certain widening of the scope of the Ohio Baptist Education Society was brought about largely by his advocacy; so that this Society has now begun to receive and apply contributions from those desiring to help students, women as well as men, who show promise and potency of christian service, but who may not be pledged to the ministry of preaching and of pastoral leadership. Further development in this direction is to be desired and to be expected in the near future. G. F. M., 1875. 121 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet C. F. DuERR, President ■ .. Z. D. Browne, Vice President C. F.

At the first meeting of the year steps were talven look- ing toward the formation of a peimianent organization. This resulted in tht Denison Crusaders whose constitution sets forth the following purposes : First- To promote good fellowship and more intimate relations among the students for the ministry. Seeoiul— To study the problems and needs of the Christian ministry. Third--To unify its efforts in the promotion and direction of definite (Christian work. In carrying out the above purposes weekly meetings are held, at which times programs are rendered either by members or Ijy noted speakers from every sphere of life touching the problems of the Christian ministry.

Cutler 130 Reli Sious Influences at Denison Augustine S. Carman A recent writer in a more or less sensational magazine has characterized the fend through several articles by means of statistics, cjuotation and de- Blasting ' at the Rock of Ages, a characterization he has sought to de- influences and work of the American college of today under the title, scription gathered in the course of a pilgrimage he has been making among the educational institutions of the land. The pious pilgrim did not visit Denison. It is a significant fact that Denison holds an enviable reputation through- out America and amongst Americans abroad as a place where, with an advanced t ' pe of scientific instruction and a thoroughly wide-awake faculty, the religious intiuences are at least as strong and salutar} as they have ever been in an Ameri- can college in any era. There may not be as stirring and sensational revivals as in some former periods in college history, but neither are such manifestations usual in the churches themselves in just the old forms. However, in steady pressure of religious influence which is like that of the atmosphere for constancy, in systematic and varied methods of religious activity, and in systematic stuclv cf the Bible and the great missionary movements, the Denison of today is far and away out of the class of the colleges of any preceding age. A summary proof of this would be the fact that students for the ministry and missionary volunteers are more numerous at Denison than ever before, thoiigh they form a smaller fraction of the whole body of students than in some earlier days when a college education formed the customary pathway to few callings other than that Lf the ministry. A religious atmosphere is as suitable and intangible a thing as the ph.ysical one. The rarest visions cf nature in tropical and sub-tropical regions may be seen through a beautiful atmospheric perspective that is yet laden with deadly ft ver-germs. And it is the gravest indictment of much of modern literature and the drama that exquisite graces of style, scintillating flashes of wit, and intense fascinations of personality may be enveloped in an atmosphere that is fatal to purity. Similarly the atmosphere of a University, noted for its literary or scientific etficiency. may by some subtle influence emanating from faculty or students be as fatal to spiritual life as an atmosphere composed chiefly of car- bonic acid gas. You may not be able to specify any single pronounced evil and yet the effects may be unmistakable and inescapable. It is almost as difficult to segregate and indicate the healthful and salutary infliTences of a college atmos- phere, yet at Denison some of them are clearly evident on the most casual examination. 131 To begin with, Denison has had an unbroken continuity of healthful re- ligious intluence surrounding it from that first evening, eighty years ago, on the 30th of lay, when the institution was projected l)y seventeen earnest Christian men in the parlors of Ichal)od Corwin at Lebanon. It was at the cioss of a session of a religious convention that the educational meeting was called. Then Granville, when chosen as the site of the college, brought to the institution a quarter of a century of remarkable religious influences, not to mention the earlier New England heritage. Religion and education were the watchwords of the Granville colony in 1805, adopted doubtless from the famous clause in the Ordi- nance of 1787 under which the Northwest Territory was organized. Gran- ville was the originating center of the tirst temperance society in the west, and it was the scene of the great i astorate of Dr. Jacob Little for nearly forty -ears over the Congregational Church, wherein thirteen revival times were experienced with more than one thousand conversions. Then, too, the Baptist pastors and the presidents of the college have miiformly been men of spiritual power, and the single influence in college, church and community of a man like Dr. Daniel Shepardson, Senior, perpetuates itself undiminished to this day. It is probable that the present strong and healthful religious atmosphere at Denison is due in large part also to the fact that its president is both a minister of the gospel and a man of affairs. The rare spirit of human sympathy and good fellowship which radiates from him makes his efforts for the religious welfare of the students unusuall.y effective. All Ohio is familiar with the power of his sermons and addresses, but few know the results of the private personal conversations he has held with man} ' a student, often converting some moral crisis in the student ' s life into an occasion for winning him to a definite religious decision. The policy of Dr. Hunt has greatly enhanced the always marked religious influence at Denison. Seldom is the religious and even the evangelistic element introduced into an institution whose aim is scholastic and scientific with such naturalness and sanity that it approves itself to all. The varied methods by which the religious influence at Denison gets itself expressed are set forth elsewhere in this volume — The Young Men ' s and Young Women ' s Christian Associations; the associations of ministerial students and of missionary volunteers ; the Bible study courses in the college and the opportiini- ties connected with the Granville chnrches are all notable expressions of this in- fluence. But it is the subtle spirit itself which pervades the Denison of today and the Denison of history that has sent out missionary heroes to the ends of the earth, that has made De nison alumni positive forces for good evervwhere, and that makes thoughtful people in all parts of the land who regard character as the supreme product of education say Denison is an unspeakable comfort to us.

Since that time the Government Association has in- creased in importance and effectiveness and is now felt to be one of the strongest institutions of Denison University. This organization has entire control of the conduct of the women living on the campus. The executive power is vested in two Councils, the Street Council and the House Coimcil. The powers of these are coordinate, the Street Council having charge of the street government and the House Council havino- charge of the government of the students in the different halls. The fir. t Street Council was elected in the spring of 1908. Up to that time the street government had l)een in the hands of the faculty and was regulated on a board- ing-school basis. Dean Barker thought the student body strong enough to take charge of itself and therefore this part of the school regime was placed entirely within the control of the students, the only stipulation being that the facidty elect the Council and that all actions of the Council be sanctioned by the Dean before becoming effective. Tip to the present time both faculty and students are more than satisfied with tlie .just and wise actions of this Council. The House Council is composed of president, vice president, secretary and tive other representative students, all of whom are chosen bv the student ])odv. The Denison Language Association THE gift of speech, says Quiiitiliaii, is tlie one point in vvliieh nature seems the written symbol, through tliis gift of oral expression so immeasurably widely from all other animate beings. Even before the invention of especially to have been kind to man, and to have separated him most beyond anything vouchsafed to other forms of life, man was enabled to clarify his ovm mental impressions, connnunieate them to his companions, range them on the shelves of memory as objective existences for further study and pass them on to his descendents. If the accumulation of material property, the provender of the stomach, contributes so much to human progress, how much more the accu- mulation of food for the mind, made possible through the gift of speech. Take from mankind all language beyond the utmost that has been developed by any other sentient being and what is left ? A Greece without its Homer, its Sopho- cles, its Alcaeus, its Demosthenes or its Plato; a Rome with no Cicero, no Virgil, no Horace, no Tacitus; a Hebraism minus its psalms, its Isaiah and its Sermon on the Mount ; a media?val Italy with no Dante ; an England with no Milton or Shakespeare, and an America with no Longfellow, Lowell, or Emerson ! Indeed it would not be hard to construct a plausible argument that man with his other natural endowments and without his special gift of language, so far from stand- ing immeasurably above the ' ' lower animals ' ' would inevitably sink to a position lowest of them all. When we are told by the motto on one of the Denison gate- ways that ' ' Languages are the Tools of the Sciences ' ' we get but one side of the relation between the two. Language is the one indispensable tool -without which the human race could never have wrought out anything in the nature of a science at all. The Language Association, therefore, feels that it has a subject matter second in dignity and importance to that of no other University organization, and among its hopes for the brighter future looming not far away upon the horizon of Denison is a housing and ecjuipment for linguistic and literary work as complete in facilities and as attractive in surroundings as tliat of any other department. When that day comes it will not be obliged to go beyond the rooms of various language departments to find a suitable place for its meetings, or to depend upon the resources of some science lecture room whenever any of its papers or addresses needs the service of a lantern for illustration — courtesies which of course are always gladly rendered, but the necessity of asking for which only calls to mind a comparative inequality of equipment which in the near future we hope to see removed. In the meantime the Association, as the departments which it directly represents, will go on its way, making the best use it can of the opportunities now at its command, and asking of the college ■community that interest and support to which it feels justly entitled.

Its spirit is well expressed by the name The Denison Society of Good Fellowship. Onl3 men not identified with fraternities are eligible to member, ship. One object is to create a more fraternal feeling among nonfrateridty students. Under the society ' s auspices are formed athletic teams and other centers of common interest. The reception hall in Cleveland Hall will be made more inviting. The boys meet there for social chats and games. More intimate relations result and a spirit of fellowship is engendered. Another paramount object of the organization is the reception and enter- tainment of visiting alumni. No school ' s alumni could be more loyal. It is incumbent on the present students to provide accommodations when former students come. Their Alma Mater owes the latter such attention. Accordingly all the members of the society pledge themselves to comply with the officers ' requests to entertain guests. The organization has a promising future. Its aims could not be higher and we are all confident of its success. No enterprise in Denison is fraught with such grand possibilities. 136 Chicago Denison Alumni Association Fresident - Samuel Baxter Brierly, ' 75 Vice Fresident.

' Advtsorij CoDimittee Charles Linnaeus Allen, ' 70 Charles Allen Marsh, ' 78 Frank Justus Miller, ' 79 THE Chieago-Denison Alumni Association as it is composed today includes not only graduates and former students of Denison but also those who are bound to Granville by other ties. The association had its birth in what was known as the Denison Club of the University of Chicago which was organized by Denison men in the University of Chicago in January 1893, but today includes any in Chicago who like to be reckoned as Granvillians. or Denisonians. There are at present about two hundred members. The association meets annually for a banquet which is held in February. At this banquet in 1908 steps were taken which resulted in the raising of an ' ' observatory fund ' ' for Denison for the temporary accommodation of a telescope. The temporary structure was not built, the ' ' observatory fund ' ' serving perhaps as a stimulus for the greater observatory which will soon be complete. At the 137 itniuial banquet in 1909 the association arranged for the purchase of the Lin- coln tablets which have been placed in the entrance to the Doane Academy building in Granville. This year the banquet was held on February eleventh and more were present than ever before. In the summer of 1909 the associa- tion met informally for a picnic at Jackson Park in Chicago. The year just passed has been one of marked success due to the efforts of the president of the association, Samuel B. Brierly of the Class of 1875. In June 1909 a roster of the association was published, giving the residence and business address of each of its members, telephone numbers and other interesting facts. In October 1909 the first number of the Chicago-Denison Bulletin appeared and one has followed each month. The Bulletin fills a long-felt need among Denison alumni and if properly supported is bound to be an im- portant factor in sustaining the interest of the alumni and thus broadening the influence of Denison. Another Chicago-Denison enterprise is the ' ' Denison table ' ' at the Boston Oyster House in Chicago at which quite a number gather every Saturday noon for lunch. This weekly meeting though not as yet very largely attended is proving to be a pleasant and profitable custom. . • The association stands for cooperation and enthusiasm among Denison Alumni and fills a need in Chicago which similar associations are filling or should fill in other cities where Denisonians and Granvillians are gathered. 138 !

FooTE THE Denison Scientific Association was founded April 16, 1887 by Pro- fessor C. L. Herrick who had already been in the institution two years. Of the original members, only Dr. G. F. McKibben has continued in active affiliation. Shortly after Professor Herrick came to Denison in 1885 he dar- ingly began the pul)lieation of a Bulletin, the output of his own and his students ' investigations; at the founding of the Association the Bulletin was made its official organ. Professor Herrick apparently gave little thought to the financ- ing of his editorial venture. His own sacrifices, however, inspired others to assist, and eventiudly the University trustees appropriated annuall ' for its continuance. One of Professor Herrick ' s purposes in founding the Bulletin was to accjuire for the University, librar,y facilities then wanting. He early established exchange relations with the foremost learned societies of the world. In conse- quence we have many files of valuable science literature not found elsewhere in the state. The Scientific Association library now contains approximately 2-100 volumes, and 2800 pamphlets. The B ;lletin has not appeared at regular intervals, but since its founda- tion in 1887 fifteen volumes have been published. A- olumes I, III, and IV were edited b,v Professor Herrick ; volume II, by him conjointly with Professor A. D. Cole; volumes V to article 11 of volume XI, by Dr. W. G. Tight; Dr. A¥. AV. Stockberger completed volume XI and the first seven articles of the next volume, which was finished by Dr. T. L. Watson. From June 190-1 to June 1908 Professor C. W. Chamberlain, as Permanent Secretary of the Association, edited volume XIII which contains 166 pages. From November 1908 to Novem- ber 1909 the Association published volume XIV which contains 442 pages. 12 plates, 55 half tones and 24 zinc engravings ; this volume includes 18 papers, in- volving Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, and Zoology. Volume XV, appearing as a single number in commemoration of the twent.y-fifth anniversary of the election of C. L. Herrick to the Professorship of Geology and Natural History, consists entirely of papers by Professor Herrick, which, with the excep- tion of a few pages, have never been published. 139 C.

Several students in the department of Geolog} conceived the idea. Consultation with Dr. Frank Carney, head of the department, resulted in the drafting of a constitution. The moving spirit of the new enterprise was Mr. E. R. Scheffel, whom his associates elected first president. The other charter members were F. R. McArthur, L. F. Thomas, J. H. Maloney, C. W. Thomas, H. Clark, C. Y. Liu, K. F. ] Iather, A. K. ] Iather. C. A. Carman, and Misses 0. M. Rusler and B. A. Black. The objects of the society, as stated in the constitution, are to foster a spirit of investigation in Geology, and promote the better acquaintance of students interested in this department. It is named for Dr. Clarence Luther Herrick, the father of science courses in Denison. The institution owes, more to him as an organizer in these departments than to any other man. And it can truthfully be said that the little society is imbued with the personality of that great teacher and scholar. Only students are active members and election to membership is after careful consideration. The conditions of eligibility are that the applicant rank in the college, that he give evidence of special interest in Geology as well as marks of uncommon general ability, and besides no student is chosen whose industry and loyalty the society questions. With such a standard the work is of the highest character. Onh ' pro- ductions of merit are heard in the meetings. Subjects vary, but the economic phase of Geology is emphasized. The program committee aims to have at least one paper at each meeting on original investigation. The vicinity of Granville is rich in opportunities for geological research. Dr. Carney kindly offers his assistance to students who engage in original work. Much research of scientific worth has taken place under the auspices of the society. The programs are presented once each month and are well attended by the public. The society also emphasizes social interests which culminate in an annual banquet. On these occasions geologists of eminence from other institutions as well as Denison ' s own. professors and students respond to toasts. It is a most delightful social function. Provisions are being made for a geological museum, which is to be the property of the society. Several specimens are on exhibition and further con- tributions are solicited. 141 Denison Chemical Society OFFICERS F. G. Smith S. AV. j IcClelland W. S.

AA HITE Charter Alembers 142 History of the Denison Chemical Society IN the early days of Denison ' s history very little attention was given to Sciences proper of any kind, and none at all to Chemistry. Later on it was taught more or less inditi ' erently in connection with the other branches ; but not for years was any thought given to what we now con- sider the vital part of the subject — namely, laboratory work. Experiments were performed now and then by the instructor on his lecture table, but the student remained in ignorance of the handling of apparatus, the mixing of chemicals and the getting of results, either qualitative or quantitative. Chemistry was poured into, not developed within, him. In the early ' 80s laboratory work began to supplement recitations and from that time grew steadily in number and efficiency of courses. It was not, however, until after the fire in 1905, when every piece of apparatus had been destroyed, when the library was gone, when even a teacher was lacking for the time being that Chemistry received the impetus which sent it to the front rank of studies in importance and which crowded to overflowing quarters which at one time had been more than ample. ■ Back of this growth lies a very real, a very definite cause. It is this : In the scientific world today, and since this is essentially an age of science, we may say in the world today, there is no field which presents to the young man or woman more attraction than does the field of Chemistry. All over the country the demand for teachers, for investigators, and for practical workers far exceeds the supply. Industrial chemistry, especially, offers almost unlimited opportuni- ties and Denison University, realizing this, has spared neither pains nor expense in providing that which shall furnish to her students the facilities for a most thorough training. Students, in turn, have availed themselves of these advant- ages, and today the enrollment in the Chemistry department is almost double what it was two years ago. With this marvelous growth has come an increasing realization that some sort of a supplementary organization among its members was necessary. Plans for such an organization were talked of three years ago, but the time seemed not ripe yet and no definite step was taken until last October when a number of students got together and formally founded the CUiemical Society of Denison University. There were ten members to start with including Professor Brum- back; two members, Mr. Davidson and ] Ir. Chamberlain, were added the first month and ten since then. Besides these are two honorary members, Mr. P. R. Jones, ' 09, of Williamsburg College and Mr. J. A. Baker, ' 07, of Indianola College both of whom have been closely identified with the department in the last few years. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month— meetings which the memljers aim to make of popular rather than of purely technical interest. Altogether the society is in a most flourishing condition. It is the policy of the founders to build slowly and conservatively, selecting the best matei-ial and placing it to the best advantage. Its members are enthusiastic, pledging themselves gladly to be loyal to the department always, and to further in every way possible any plan which shall l)e for its l)est interest and development.

That is the sort of a man Denison was looking for when they ran across one in Cleveland who filled every requirement in the bill, and was besides, a real Man. Doc Freeman came to Denison with a long record of successful achievements and took hold of athletic affairs when the outlook was l)luer than it had been for a number of years. Somehow, matters were just liad enough to arouse all the pugnacity in his make-up, and the wfiy he sailed into the situation was a caution. The net result has been that, instead of an unbroken series of defeats, in a single year Denison took a stand where she became the respected rival of every other college in Ohio. And it was due largely to the fact that ' Doc ' got mad. Almost any other man would have set to work patiently to build up from the ground but Freeman was not that kind— he built it all at once, and did it well. When Doc is angry, everybody knows it, but the knowledge does not cause them to avoid him, for it is anger that is good to see. He is just as angry when we win as when we lose, for in the one ease we should have won by a larger score, and in the second we ought never to have lost; and this trait keeps the men working at times when they would probably be satisfied to let down and take a vacation for a couple of days. It ' s the fighting spirit. He knows every sport that is played and is a capable instructor in all. True, he does have a slight leaning toward track work, but no one would ever know it when he is out in that slouch hat and Idiaki out-fit driving the football up and down the field. When the season for each game comes around, he is ready for that to the exclusion of all else, with the result that Denison has good teams in all lines of athletics. Anyway, all of us know about his ability as an athletic director and the matter does not need further disquisition. One thing about Charles I. Freeman is especially noteworthy. He is at home wherever he happens to be, whether it is on the field or at the head of a Y. M. C. A. meeting. That is one sure sign of the all-round development that he urges so strongly on others and that he has so well attained. He has fine ideas on a lot of things very foreign to athletics and knows how to say them well. The blunt, straightforward way is there that carries conviction with it and makes the auditors know that an authority is speaking. We offer our tribute of praise to the Coach. 146 ootball Schedule and Record Season op 1909 September 25, Denison 2, W. J. 15. October 2, Denison 0, Case 24. October 9, Denison 24, Muskingum 0.

Although one of the smallest centers in the state, he played his position in a way that made liim more than tlie equal of most of the men he met. ;ind it v;is l)y his good generalship that victory rested often on the hanners of Denison. In addi- tion to being a steady man in the pivot position, he had that qualification cf being a fine tackier and his place on next year ' s team will ])( ' luird to fill. STILWELL It had been a long time sime we had been represented on the mythical All-Ohio team, and ii was the happy lot of Buck to win us that place, lie deserved it in every way, for nowhere in the round of colleges was there one who could put up a game at full-back like his. Always a glutton for work, and in the game from the first whistle it is easy to guess who was given the ball to make the yards needed for first down, when they were coming hard. Stilwell also had that nameless sense that enabled him to pick the spot vhere the other team was going to hit, and he backed up the line in star shape at all times. His course ends in June, but his memory will live in the annals of Denison and Ohio football. WALKER Briney is another of the galaxy of stars who will leave us this year. His career has been marked with a long line of successes on the gridiron, and last season was the best he ever had. Briney ' s specialty is those dashing end runs that make the crowd get up and yelp, and when they saw him tuck the pigskin under his arm and cut loose that is what they always did, for he made good each time. A trifle too light to make a good plunger, Walker made up for the lack in speed and nerve, and as a secondary-defense man there was none better, either at tackling or at smashing interference. 150 HOLDEN Fritz had played a year on the varsity be- fore last season and all knew what to expect from him at left end— and they got it. It seems as if he was made to be an end, for he combined speed and headwork in such a way that his flank of the line was seldom circled by even the fastest men. He was especially nifty in picking the forward pass out of the air, and thus pulled off some fine gains for Deuison during the year. The dopesters are look- ing aroTuid for a likely candidate to fill his shoes next fall, for we ' ll lose him by the graduation route, but candidates, though many, do not come up to his standard. CAPTAIN-ELECT ANDERSON Andy came here with an enviable record be- hind him and his work in his Sophomore year gave promise of the great things that he did last season. As a quarter-back, he ranks as one of the best in the state, and he is an all-round football man. Andy is always there to pick out the weak spot in the enemy and on defense has time and again proven his ability as a play-smasher. Moreover, whenever the rooters see those long spirals going down the field they know that it is his trusty toe that did the biz. Denison loolcs forward with pride and the rest of the state with misgiving, to the l)r(ispects of next year ' s bunch under his leadership. PARKS He really never had a nickname so they stuck a Y on the end and made it Parksy to give rhythm when they were giving the rahs for him during the game. As a tackle he was one big success. His forte was in coming back of the line and taking the ball straight in through the tackle and he was usually able to go a bunch of yards toward the enemy ' s goal before tliey stopped him. Parks was one of two men on the squad this year, the other wms Captain Hart, to play every minute of the season. Pie will be back next year and we can expect some- thing from him then. GIBSON The name of Gibson is pruverbial in Ohio as meaning a good football player and our Gibby is no exception to the rule. He did not discover un- til this year that he could play the game, but the awakening was good to see. All he needed to do was to get mad— real mad— and then there was a stone wall in left guard, and this happy state was working hard most of the time. He was up against some of the best in the business during the course of the year, but Gibby bowed the knee to none, He was a good tackier and a fine defensive man. He is to be back next year. ZELL Zell ' s perseverance was rewarded by a place on the regulars this season and he repaid the trust im- posed in him by making good from the start. He was a fine running-mate for Gibson, and the two with Hart at center, made a trio that was next to impossible to break down. Zell followed the haW all the time and, whenever there was a fumble in the middle of the mass, it was not unusual to see him squeezing the leather when the legs and arms were untangled. We are glad to say that he will be on the job again next fall. BOWERS This was Brainy ' s first year as a varsity man, for the simple reason that he was a Sophomore and had not been eligible before. But from the way he put the hooks into the opposing teams you would thing he was the veteran of a hundred battles. Bowers possessed that knack so needful to every plunging half-back— to be able to plow through the line with three or four tacklers hanging on like grim Death, and stop only when they tied and gagged him. He was also there to get into the in- terference and brush off the other team. We will have a good nucleus around which to form the back-field for next year, with Bowers as a starter. THOMPSON The rail-birds saw a familiar form again this fall when John, or rather Jawu, after a couple of years of absence came back to the field. Left tackle was his job, and a better man it would take a long time to find. His pointed head-guard was always in the thick of the fray, and the way he could filter through the line was a caution. When it came to those spectacular tackle-around runs, Tommy could be relied upon to make his dis- tance every time, and when he put his brawny frame in the way of line-bucks at him the other team just went off home sadder and wiser. He will be careering around the lot again next fall, with his accustomed dainty stride. MORSE Dump comes from Cleveland, where football players grow in profusion. His game at right-end is hard to beat. Morse is a ' ' Little Feller, ' ' but he was big enough to make the ' varsity although he didn ' t tip the scales at more than 130. The other teams used to think they would brush him out of the way with one hand — until they tried it — and then they tried another spot. Dump is fast, nervy, and has a fine football head, as the critics say ; qualities altogether desirable in a player. He can play quarter as well as end. He, too, is a Sophomore and we can look forward with pleasure to two more years of watching him play. FOB Poe went in at end when the need arose, and never failed to make good as a flanker. He has the build to make a fine end and only his lack of seasoning kept him from being used with greater regularity. However, he will be with the squad next year, and has unlimited possibilities. BECKER Every team needs a man to go in at a critical time and take the place of some player who cannot stand the strain. This was Becker ' s position, as utility half-back, and the good work he did resulted in his being given his letter. There was no one who des rved it more, for whenever he went into the game he pnlled off some play that set the crowd on edge. He is another speedy article, and will be a good bet for the regulars next year. MANAGER FOOTE Everybody knows Earl. He ' s the man that can run a football season for Denison and add up his accounts at the end of the season ' ith his eyes shut and then be dead sure he ' s coming out with cold cash in his little pocket-book. He has been mana- ger of the team for two years and every- body has been satisfied. But he ' s going to leave for other parts and for new worlds to conquer. Nevertheless, we shall not forget him. THE SUBSTITUTES. It would not be right to send this book to press without giving space to the men who, more than all otlu ' s. made Denison ' s team the good one that it was last season — the substitutes. They are the men who never get mentioned in the sporting write-ups, and who never get any of the glory, hut who take all the beating and hard knocks and come smilingly back for more. If it were not for them, there could be no first team, and we only wish there was some way in which their lo.yal services could be repaid. They sometimes get their re- ward on the ' varsity of the following year. l)ut more often not; ' and still they come up for more work.

Moreover, in the season or so preccdinu hist spi-ini ' this branch of our athletic activity took a decided sliniip. out of whicli last year ' s team has jnst laid the foundation for a patient climb upward. One of the chief factors in the clcnicnt of success attained by our l)all tossers of last year lay in the leadership of Captain Turner. Vic, always ((uiet and undenionsti ' ative. but always in the .u ' ame to stay, was a good leader and every inch a baseball player. In fact, he had the diamond dye. The nien liked him and worked hard to li(dp him along. IMost of the men were inex- perienced in playing a whole season through, and it was not until the spring was well advanced that they found their nerve and began to hit the ball. It was a case of hard luck for the most part, the luck that breaks the spirit of any team, the luck that causes a team to play like fiends for seven innings and then fall down under the strain and be nosed out in the final rounds. This was the case in at least four of the games that were lost, when either the pitchers or the field blew up late in the game and presented the scalp to the willing enemy. But, with all the bad breaks, the team won its place in the hearts of the Denison fans. The men worked hard and were always fighting at the finish, and a school likes to support a team with that spirit. What really wiped the slate clean of faults and placed a good credit to the team was their work in the Ohio State game at Granville, which was the most important, locally, of the season. The team had .just the week before suffered disaster at the hands of Keuyon and Wooster, and. while no one expected that Denison would pr()ve very hard for State, a good crowd eame down to the field. To say they were amply rewarded puts it mildly. It was fine when the visitors were held to one run in the first four innings, but when Vic started the fifth with a hit and the next three or four batters did likewise. Beaver Field knew what real excitement was. Ohio State came back and tied the score. 3 to 3, later in the game. It remained for Pine to put on the finishing touches when he singled in the eighth, stole second and third, and then scored the winning run for Denison. That game won the team its reward of praise. The baseball team would not have much good to remember had it not been for Manager Adair, or more properly, Jimmy. He was in his second season as manager and knew the ropes. Jimmy was always for giving the boys the best there was to be had, and was always the first to start something when things looked blue. Adair was a distinct success, and deserves as much credit for the good work as the best player on the team. The ball team did not burn things up, but it laid a foundation upon which this year ' s team and succeeding ones can build up to our former level. 162 T I ennis A. G. Adams, Manager NTERCOLLEGIATE tennis is practi- cally a new game at Denison, Init it has already received a great vogue among the athletes of the University. Two years ago the tirst match with an outside college was played with the champion IMich- igan University team, and the experiment proved its popularity with the students so conclusively that intercollegiate matches were imniediately added to the athletic curriculum, on the same standing as other branches of sport in school. In 1909 the idea was more fully developed and now tennis is one of the most popular pastimes of the spring months. Early last spring a match was played at Kenyon, Adams, Willis and Conley being our representatives. The team was not in practice and could do very little against the former state cham- pion of Illinois and his team-mates. Kenyon won all the matches. A meet with Capitol University, a little later, was more favoralily ended. Willis won his match in singles and lost with Adams in the doubles and the meet was won on a default in the second single match. The main tennis interest in Denison, however, centered around the school championship, which drew an unusually large list of entries. After several close and exciting contests, Willis showed himself equal to the task of winning the championship laurels. SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS . SINGLES W. S. Willis defeated A. G. Adams, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. DOUBLES W. S. AVillis and A. G. Adams defeated C. A. Carman and W. R. Taylor, 6-4, 6-2. MIXED DOUBLES Miss Hattersley and C. A. Carman defeated Miss Colwell and A. G. Adams, 6-4, 6-3. A Tennis Association was formed last year. It has full charge of the University Courts and has for its purpose the promotion of Tennis interests in Denison. The manager of the ' Vai ' sity Tennis Team is always president of the association. 164 The Track Team TriK spriiifi ' of 1909 saw the first organized effort to establish a traek team in Denison that lias been made for a niimber of years. Naturally, the results were not very good, but it showed the school that they have a ( oach who can get out all the ti-ick alulity there is in a bTUich of men. Frequent abortive attempts had been made to organize a team in past .years but last sprirg saw the first real team put out by the University. Thei-e were two meets held during the year, both with Ohio AVesleyan, and both resulted in defeat for Denison by a big score. The experiment proved successful, however, and the next season or two will uiidoulitedly see us with a track team capable of holding its own against anything in the state. Doe Freeman knows track work from A to Z, and the school is confident that he will bring success to this branch of atliletics. - ■ , Ti) be especially capable in any one line of ath- letic endeavor is praiseworthy in any man. To be able to grand stand once in a meet is about all mast athletes look forward to and hope for. But much better is it to be an all-round athlete, one who can carry off a good place in all the events. Wilfred C. Coe, ' 11, won the trophy offered by proving himself the best all-round athlete in the University for three successive years. At the same time Coesy has established two Denison records, the bread and the high .jump. 166 Cross Country Team A. K. LIather, Captain N. II. Carman S. R. Webb D. J. Tight K. H. Eschman R. C. Gill, Manager November 20, Denison 21, Ohio Wesleyan 15. CROSS Conntry running as an intercollegiate sport is still in its infancy at Denison, bnt already rapid strides have been made in the direction of perfecting this new branch of sport (and we do not intend any pun, cither). Up until a short time ago the students took the hills of Granville as something just to look at and go scheming in, until some fellows with more than ordinary enthusiasm took up the roads as a method of training the muscles. Straightway, the soundness of the plan was apparent to all, and Cross Country running has come to stay in Denison. Then every year there was held a run for the students of the University, which never failed to bring out much competition, and was a good way of showing up promising track material. Finally, about two years ago some of the boys got too fast for the annual runs a,nd these got up a team to race with other colleges. They have since had more or less success in their efforts, and have planted seeds that promise to bear good fruit. This year was an improvement over the team of a year ago and the gratifying thing is that the members, with the exception of Captain Mather, who has worked hard and long to make the sport a success here, and Carman, who is a Junior, are all under-classmen who have at least two years yet in which to develop. We may look for great things from our newest sport in the near future. Freshman-Sophomore Indoor Athletic Meet Freshmen 65 20 Yard Dash Time 3 see. 1st, ' J. L. Maloney ' 13 2nd, C. F.

IIor DEN Chairman D. D. D. Committee DENISON is possessed of one of the strongest means of getting athletic I interest aroused, by the way in which the athletic association is iiiiinaged. When the Freshman first gets his receipted bill and sees his credit for athletic fees, he realizes that he is a member of a big organization, and that he has a voice in the running of athletic affairs in the University. Then, with the realization fresh in his mind, he has something to pay back for the privilege, and goes to the games. It continues even further and gives him an interest in developing any latent talent when he gets further along. The Athletic Association is the backbone of all sports in Denison, although the infin nce is not directly felt at any particular time. In their hands rests the eh ion of the student members of the Board of Control, and thus their hand is on the athletic pulse to a pretty large extent. With the increase in interest in things pertaining to sports, the Athletic Association has a big field opened to it, and we may look to hear more of the organization in the future. 170 Denison D , ' Association Officers President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Honorary Members Dr. R.

Such a custom is the Uc y day carnival and to Miss Frances Jones, former physical director, at Shepardson. belongs the credit of having established it. To us has eome the responsibility of perpetuating it. This fete was held last year on the thirtieth of May on Shepardson campus. Burton, King and Stone Halls were gay with pennants and bunting while the campus itself was thronged with visitors and college folk. The first number of the program was a lively tennis tournament between Marie Hattersley and Emily Colwell, in which Miss Hattersley came off victor. The crowd then turned its attention to a series of Swedish dances. Twelve girls dressed in Swedish costumes took part in these and presented a picturesque sight as they danced back and forth with true foreign abandon, to the strains of a weird folk-song. Next came the hoop rolling by the dignified maidens in caps and gowns and after that a hockey game between the Stone and Shepardson teams. Hockey has been introduced to Shepardson only within the last year so that the players were i-ather inexperienced. AVhat they lacked in practice, however, they made up for in enthusiasm and long before the end of the first half, the onlookers were as interested as they. The Stone girls won the game and later they received a prize along with the other successful contestants of the day. Toward the end of the program came what is always the crowning event of a Carnival day, the May pole dance. The pole, wreathed wath green and crowned with white flowers stood just below the tennis court. Prom the top hung twenty-four long streamers alternately red and w hite. As the orchestra struck the first chord, twenty-four w hite-clad girls lifted the ribbons and for half an hour danced and turned, twisted and kneeled, weaving the pretty colors in and out until the crowd held its breath with admiration and delight. The wdiole college then formed a procession in front of Stone Hall for the grand march. The Swedish dancers headed the procession. Closely following came the black-robed Seniors and then the Juniors attended by their mascot — a dear little brown girl in a gray and scarlet frock. The Sophomores carried gay-hued Japanese umbrellas and the Freshmen were conspicuous in blue sun- bonnets. A crowd of preparatory girls and the Shepardson mascots — two tawny collies, blanketed with Shepardson pennants and led by two little boys in browm. closed the procession which w-as truly a fitting finale to such an occasion. 197 JMay May May May May l Iay Mo.y May May May May June June June June June June June June Zl.

The Seniors walk the plank. 199 Commencement Week IN earlier times Commencement was hnt a harvest, the reaping of a crop of diplomas from the fields of knowledge over which each class in turn looks and wonders. Modern colleges, Denison among them, have augmented this idea and have made of it a harvest festival, lasting for almost a week and filled with all sorts of gaieties from beginning to end. The Freshman from his logarithms and Christian Evidences — the Sophomore from molecular equiva- lents and Quintilian treatises — the Junior from his numerous social engagements and occasional recitation — even the alumnus from his self-appointed task of reforming the world: all these come together to help their Senior brothers and sisters celebrate the bringing-in of the last load tied with Denison red and re- splendent with Denison seals. Last year this anniial festival was unusually memoral le. Dr. Hunt opened the week with a l)cautiful liaccalaureate sermon on Sabbath morning. In the evening Dr. Francis spoke to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. on The Temptation of Christ. ' ' ] Ionday, as is the custom, was given over entirely to field sports. High jumps, broad .jumps, pole-vaulting, the hammer-throw, shot- put, and hurdle races followed each other in (|uick succession, eliciting hearty api:)lause from the spectators. On Tuesday morning the Senior Preps were called together and armed with authority to enter upon the task that the Senior collegians had just finished. Carey Sweet and Christy Stoner, because they had been most obedient to their overseer, Dr. Hundley, were allowed to stand up and express a few opinions about the sorrows of parting with their dear faculty friends and of the immense responsibility that now rested on the class. Tuesday evening marked a veritable outpouring of applied knowledge in the form of a contest between Calliope and Franklin. For many years Mr. Lewis has offered a prize to the winners and last year Mr. Taylor. IMr. Adams, Mr. Kemper, and Ir. Frizelle carried off those prizes in a whirl of glory. Lest it would seem that the Seniors, in whose honor all these performances take place, are lost sight of we will speak next of their class exercises which took place Wednesday morning on a raised platform near Talbot Hall. It was a beautiful procession that wended its way thither from Burton Hall: the girls marched ahead carrying a long daisy chain, the boys behind but with never a daisy among them. The program itself consisted of the usual poems, pleas- antries, and prophecies. President Kemper presented the Juniors with the class shoe; President Browne of 11 planted the ivy in behalf of his followei-s; and then the Avell-meaning Freshmen concluded the performance with pink lemonade. The crowd next dispersed to meet on the hill beyond to lay the cornerstone of the new observatory. Denison ' s latest gift from a loyal admirer. In the afternoon the ' Varsity-Alumni game was pla.yed on Beaver field ; and then everybody — alumni, seniors, facidty, visitors, went home to dress for Prexie ' s reception. Concerning this reception each year volumes might be written — but never are — for the simple reason that each one (or two) keeps to himself or herself or themselves the main facts in the case. President and Mrs. Himt give the reception in the college mansion: President and Mrs. Talbot receive the majority of the guests in the college graveyard before the evening is over. On Thursday morning Jupiter Pluvius took a hand in the celebration and so enthusiastic was he that, if this had not been a Baptist college, it is doubtful whether there would have been any final reaping done. Whatever might have happened, however, the facts are that at ten o ' clock every umbrella was folded and dripping and every one of the sixty-five reapers awaited the reward of their faithful four-years ' toil. There were a few hitches at the start— a little delay occasioned by various visitors and even by certain class-members (who ought to have knowai ' better) who took this chance of unburdening themselves on pet subjects. At last all was over and back came the black-robed procession ready now to market their harvest wherever they could. They were taken to the Sem Dining-hall, fed well for the last time, and then started forth with their Alms. Mater ' s blessing upon their heads, and, let us hope, a modicum of their Alnib, Mater ' s wisdom within them. September, 1909 September 15. September 16. September 17. September 18. September 19.

The Freshman-Sophomore Scrap In some ways this world of ours is getting tame, and Denison— well, Denison is always a trifle ahead of the times. It is more peaceful now than in the days of the Raspberries when (so fable has it) chiffoniers and tables caved in the heads of the unwary. The amelioration of football, the stiffening of the Sem regulations, the abolition of the Senior Circus, have all been bringing us in line witli the cultured East. Old Goethe has a fine line on cidture. one worth quoting. Culture that smooth the whole world licks, Even unto the Devil sticks. And there is the devil of it. Where are our Leathers? Where are the old-fashioned rough-necks ' ? This same petticoated culture is doing away with them. Green coats with freak lapels are replacing the jersies, while dancing pumps have ciuite banished the old time clodhoppers. The skirt is getting to be the insignia even of our more strenuous festivities. In the course of a college generation the transformation will be complete. Class supremacy will be politely decided on the Sem campus by a game of Freshman-Sophomore Croquet with tea and lady fingers during the intermission. This was the doleful outlook of last year but the past fall has brought renewed hope. When the gentle game of push-ball was refused admittance to the list of our college sports and class supremacy was determined in a manner worthy of the Romans, we of the old school took heart. These who toiled into the small hours to raise the Sophomore pole, a feat of engineering that will stand a monument and model to younger generr!tions, and those who aided Reynolds in placing the Freshman flag on its top deserve most hearty thanks for proving that the virility of the frontier days is still with us. This alone would have made the fifth of October a memorable day, but more was in store. The Freshmen clung valorously to their rope until dragged rudely into the water, and finished off the day with a game of football that gave no indication of the morning ' s struggle. The residt, the victory of two to one for the new men, has gone down to history. We need not record it. The significance of the event is what gives us comfort. For now we know the old spirit is still with us, a spirit vigorous and virile, the spirit of the West. 203 October, 1909 October October October October October October October October October October October October October 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 10. 11. 12. 13.

' ' Nit. 216 Kappa Zeta Honorary Society Founded in Doane Academy, 1909 THE purpose of the organization is to promote scholarship by providing permanent recognition of scholastic honors. The honor graduates of schools that have chapters of Kappa Zeta will be admitted to a company composed of those who have won similar honor and the fellowship thus enjoyed will enhance the value of this honor. The symbol of the society is the Nile Key, or The Key of Life. It may be worn as a charm or as a pin. Alpha Chapter consists of honor graduates of Doane Academy and Shepardson Preparatory and of such members of the faculty as were honor graduates of their respective preparator.y schools.

The new year had scarcely begnn before we elected our officers and appointed various important committees. We adopted navy blue and white as our class colors and chose the white rose as our class flower. Again, unlilve other classes we selected class pins — insignia which we wear not for the sake of decoration but to distinguish us from the poor unfortunates who have come too late or too early to belong to D. A. ' 10. In November we had a class stunt, a getting acquainted party, if you will ; and since then the heights to which our social achievements have reached have been bounded onl} ' - by Sem regulations, which, alas, like the laws of the ] Iedes and Persians, change not as the years go by. Watch for us next year, tho, when we have college rank ! However we may have been restricted socially our athletic wings have by no means been clipped. The boys ' teams, both in football and in basket- ball, are credits to the institution, while the girls ' basketball team has beaten or tied with every team they have played against. Taking the class as a whole it has a most promising future. We feci that there are those among us who are not only famous today but who will l)e named hereafter. Harriet ITaggard, Historic ■ Oh!

Neither will anyone need an explanation as to why the editors deem it particularly appropriate this year to honor the Adytum itself in conferring upon the Governor whatever honor there is in dedicating it to him. Still, it is appropriate to put on record a brief sketch of the alumnus who stands today in the public eye foremost of all the living sons of old Denison. The Governor is not an old man, and yet Ohio was a comparatively unde- veloped state at the time of his birth, near Cincinnati during the Polk administra- tion. His father was a Baptist preacher, and of course well acquainted with the heroic efforts which the Baptists were making to maintain the college they had founded nearly two decades before, at Granville. It was in the early September days of 1862 that Judson Harmon first came to Granville. At the Commencement of the preceding June the college had sent out a class of four men, the first of whom, taken in alphabetical order, was Dr. A. J. F. Behrends, destined to become one of the foremost Congregational preachers of his day. The second, Charles W. Heidelbach, left Granville for the Union army and after fighting in several great battles was finally taken prisoner, the rigors of his imprisonment eventually causing his death, a few months after Judson Harmon ' s graduation. The third member of this class, the Eev. Dr. James Lisk, is still living and working as an honored and effective Baptist minister. The fourth was the late Professor William Arnold Stevens, whose breadth and accuracy of scholarship, ability as a teacher and wholesome Christian character would do honor to any college the world has ever seen. It was no mistake of judgment, due to denominational zeal, which led Baptist fathers in the early ' 60s to send their sons to a college already sending out classes armed with the scholarship and spirit of these four men of 1862. There were four men in the college faculty, with two preparatory tutors, when Harmon entered. Dr. Jeremiam Hall, the President, was succeeded a year later by Samson Talbot, who wrought upon Harmon the same deep and inefface- able impression, the same inspiring influence towards high ideals of life, as upon every really earnest and open hearted young man with whom he came into intimate contact. Dr. John Stevens was in charge of the Latin and Greek, Professor Fletcher 0. Marsh of Mathematics, and Professor John R. Downer of English. There was no provision in the Denison faculty at that time for teach- ing French, and Harmon added it to his course by securing permission to enter the class of young ladies who were studying French at the foot of the hill under Miss Louise Carter, of the Young Ladies Institute. There were but two build- ings on College Hill at that time, the old frame building removed a few years 235 ago and the dormitory now known as Marsh Hall, though students of the ' 70s, ' 80s and ' 90s are not yet cured of the halnt of calling it ' ' the Old Brick, ' ' a title which sprang up spontaneously after President Talbot ' s energy had i)ro- vided the New Brick, now appropriately styled Talbot Hall. But we must not forget that this is a sketch of Governor Harmon, not of Deuison. Graduated in 1866, he served as principal in the public schools, Columbia, Ohio, for one year, and two years later took his degree from the Cincinnati Law School. His first public recognition came in 1875. when his fellow citizens of Wyoming, a sulnirb of Cincinnati, chose him as mayor. He had only reached his thirtieth year when the democratic party in Hamiltdii county made him its candidate for the office of common pleas judge, and elected him. The seat was contested, however, and an adverse party majority in the Ohio Senate seated his opponent, without an} ' very serious attempt to sift the evidence impartially. The decision of contested elections on partisan rather than judicial grounds was altogether too common a habit with both parties during the periof following the Civil war. His fellow citizens evidently took this decision as throwing no reproach ipon him, for within a year they had again honored him by electing him as judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati. The wisdom of the choice was amply pi ' oved by his conduct on the bench, and when his term of five years was over he was reelected by a large majority. Upon completion of his second term he resumed the practice of law, but seven years later was again called into public station, as Attorney General of the United States, in the cabinet of President Cleveland. This appointment was the occasion of a bancpxet in his honor, tendered by the Bar Association of Cincinnati, without regard to party. At this banquet AVilliam Howard Taft paid Judge Harmon a compliment which has been much quoted, and will bear repetition here. We are here because we know that he is eminently qualified to discharge the duties of his office with unbounded credit to his country, to the administra- tion, to us, his friends, and to himself. When the head of the Supreme Court asks Harmon, ' What business is there before this Court? ' we know that there will respond a man whose broad and liberal mind, splendid intellect, and vigorous grasp of legal principles, will represent the best of all that has been handed down to us by the traditions of the Bar. Born and brought up in this community, taught b.y his parents that everything in this country was within the reach of the man who would honestly strive after it, of vigoroiLS mind and body, even temper, good digestion, the softest and the stoutest heart, Judson Harmon has moved onward and upward with no man to grudge him a single honor he has won. It fell to his lot at Attorney General to inaugurate, on the side of legal prosecution, the new policy of the government for the regulation of railway corporations and other great business combinations. The political revolution of 1896 put another in his place before he had had time to carry through the great cases which he had taken up, but they were finally won and the path was 236 thiLs marked out for the application of the hiw in tlie I ' lituiH ' . It was because of this work tliat liis name was suggested to President Roosevelt, in 1904, for appointment as sincial counsel to investigate alleged rebating and other illegal practices by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company. In this work he was associated with an eminent Indiana lawyer, Frederick N. Judson. Here Judge Harmon ' s ideas came into serious conflict with those of the adminis- tration at Washington and his resignation, together with that of his associate, l Ir. Judson, soon followed. The point of difference involved a fundamental principle of great importance. Judge Harmon ' s view was that guilt is the work of some individual guilty person cr persons, not of an impersonal corpora- tion, and that the ends of justice can fiually be secured only when the individual is ferreted out and subjected to an equally individual ]uinishment. Following out this theory, his investigation of the Santa Fe cases led directly to the head of the freight traffic department of the road, who at the time happened to be sitting in the cabinet, at Washington, as a peculiarly personal choice of the President himself. It would be going beyond evidence to assert that the views of the President and Attorney General Moody were warped by this embarrassing situation, but they insisted that prosecution should be brought against the corpor- ation itself and not against individuals. Of course there was nothing for Judge Harmon to do in self respect but to withdraw from the case, which he immediate- ly did, with a dignified and forcible statemeut of his reasons. On both legal grounds and grounds of public policy it may be stated that his attitude in this matter received wide approval, with no regard to party lines. Soon after this episode he was selected l:)y the United States Court as receiver for the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and Pere Marquette railway systems, which he managed with great success until his election to the Governor- ship compelled him to withdraw. His conduct of the Governorship is current history, and history of which Denisonians without regard to ordinary political differences are justly proud. His distinction in this office is not merely that he has brought to it a degree of statesmanly ability and insight into public condi- tions and problems rarely seen there, but that in the administration of his duties he insists on keeping mere part.y considerations steadily subordinate to the public good. A loyal and earnest Democrat on points of legitimate political difference, he sees nothing in the party except as it can be made useful in the promotion of the public welfare. Under his administration, the lines of mere partisanism have melted down as they have not melted before within the memory of living men. Thus the result of Deniscn ' s first contribution to the Ohio Governorship bids fair to mark a new era in Ohio politics. A higher standard has been set, and neither Democrats nor Republicans will dare in the near future to disregard that standard. Friends of the college man in politics have been obliged occasionally to confess that the mere possession of a college diploma does not of itself guarantee the insight to detect evils in the body politic which 237 demand excision, the constructive ability to devise new methods of administration where the old are insufficient, or meet the wholly new problems to which modern life gives birth, the moral courage to resist influences which would stay the ofifieial hand from any effective assault upon evils behind which powerful parti- san or financial interests are entrenched. Applying the words of Horace, then, we may say to our Alma Mater, Sume superbiam quaesitam meritis, take the pride to which you are entitled by your services, in giving to the State of Ohio a Governor in whom each and all of these virtues do exist, a noble illustration of what a college trained mind may do when accompanied by rugged honesty, unwearying energy and discriminating patriotism. And if the future has still higher honor in store for him, as many think, every Denisonian who has watched his career, regardless of differences in political opinion, will rest safe in the conviction that any trust confided to Judson Harmon will be administered with credit to himself, his college and his country. A Heart ' s Desire I would not sigh for many friends To share my gladness and my gloom, But one Avho knows me well, in whom Each motive that I feel finds room, AVho knows my story ere it ends. I do not long for many flowers To fill my chamber with their scent. A single rose all redolent With memory of some glad event Is more to me than many bowers. I do not wish for many books, To bend unwilling shelves with weight, But this one, yellow, out of date, And that too dear to have a mate, Knowing my haunts and shady nooks. I would not sigh for many days Of such delight as men desire. A few with books that never tire. And flowers and friends that draw me higher Are all my heart longs for and prays. F. L. H.

HERE ! Everything is finished now for another week! Miss Mary held the sweater she had been mending up critically, then, still keeping it in her hand, drew a low chair to the window and looked expectantly toward a well-worn path that led from the boys ' campus to her own home. This is his week to come for them, she said aloud after a fashion people have who are much by themselves, and may ' be he ' ll stop a little bit, seeing its so near Commencement time and he hasn ' t any studying to do. There he is now! and an eager light flashed into her eyes as she watched the tall boyish figure striding down the hill. You might have wondered a little at this outliurst if you could have seen h(!r as she sat that afternoon, worn, bent and faded, in the little room where for fifteen years she had lived and worked and woven the beautiful dreams that grew more and more beautiful as the years went by. She had not always mended and darned for a living, however. Away back in the times when Cheswiek College had been a separate institution from the boys ' college on the hill. Miss Mary had been a teacher — not one of the modern kind with a lordly air and commanding presence, but a gentle, timid, fluttering little body who faced her cla. s each morning with new misgivings and yet with secret delight. Although not yet out of her twenties she had been Miss Mary even then. There are women — you have known them — who seem to have been born Miss Mary or Miss Agnes or Miss Caroline — whose title is as much a part of them as the perfume is of a violet or the song is of a meadow-lark. They live their lives and then go their ways, which will one day be your way and mine : they leave no husbands behind to mourn them, no children to rise up and call them blessed; only a memory that comes to us years after they are gone — faint, fragrant, and fleeting like a breath from faded violets. The little woman who sat mending by the window had been just such a one. Even in her girlhood people had never thought of her in connection with 4 love and marriage. The bare idea of Miss Mary ' s having a beau would have been considered a huge joke by the girls in her classes. And whatever she herself thought about it she kept to herself. If within the tiny dwarf like body a heart beat that longed for shinnnery pink dresses and gay times and lovers like other girls — if the poor little plain face was sometimes wet with lonely tears, no one ever knew it. She had a gentle pride of her own and had early 240 learned that there is a doctrine of election in the social, if not in the spiritual world, and that old maids, especially if they were born so, are neither called nor chosen. Her life had had its romance, however — one could have told that to have looked at her. No woman could have kept so sunny, so sweet, throutih all the bare, dreary years, if there had not been some secret wellsprin of sentiment. And yet no worn betrothal ring gleamed on her finger ; no old-fashioned locket carried the secret of a life ' s love close to her bosom ; no faded packet of letters lay hidden in her trunk ; no outward token whatever — only deep down within her heart a wonderful secret, the more wonderful, perhaps, that no one had ever guessed it. It was back in her college days : there had been a man — almost the only one she had ever known. Of course there wasn ' t much to remember; the Miss Marys of life do not dare ask much— but he had been very kind to her. Once when she stayed at her aunt ' s through Easter vacation he had taken her driving, - another time he had been her partner at one of Miss Austen ' s receptions and then there had been a walk or two, a book and a valentine — such a pretty one with flowers and lace and birds, with two hands clasped in the center and beneath in a boyish scrawl, Your friend, J. Ekas. That was all there was of it. He had graduated one June morning and she had seen that afternoon, with a new unknown pain at her heart, a tall, slim, strange girl leaning on his arm, a girl with wonderful red hair and a most wonderful white dress. Jim Ekas ' sweetheart from home, some one had told her. ' ' They ' re to be married this fall. ' ' Miss Mary never liked to think of the days and nights that followed— she had been so angry and miserable ; angry with herself, angry with Jim, angry with God who made dwarflike women and then gave them hearts that wanted to be loved. Gradually, however, the bitterness disappeared and in its place came a settled conviction : Jim was hers still, hers by right of the love she bore him. It covdd not be wrong since no one would ever know, and so through the long years she had had him all to herself. Other women married and their lovers grew old and grizzled— hers was young and handsome as he had been years before; theirs became indifferent and careless— Jim never forgot any of the little courtesies that had first gladdened her lonely life. And yet, and yet— she her- self never could understand it— the dim restlessness, the vague disquiet, the unconscious longing to express in some way that which she knew must live and die within her own heart. Her eyes told the story. Anyone might have read the pathetic wistfulness in them, but deeper down, down where the brown depths became black, lay an unfathomable mystery— love ' s light unshed, love ' s wealth unspent, love ' s song xuisung. 241 She was a faded old woman now, old at sixty. Cheswick College had united with the boys ' college on the hill and she had not been long in discovering that she was hopelessly inadeqiiate and as little equal to modern educational demands as was the old fashioned textbook she used. A distant aunt had wanted her to go and make her home with her but for once Miss Mary asserted herself and had her way. Leave Cheswick — why. th;i,t w as impossible! Cheswiek, where her family had lived and taught for geiiei ' atious ; Cheswiek. where she had met and loved Jim — it was not to be thought of. So she was still a part of the c(.)llege she loved. True, she mended and darned for them now instead of teaching them rhetoric but that made little difference. Plenty of people, and college people, tdo. would rather have their shirts mended and their socks darned than to be taugiit the difference between pleonasm and redundancy. It was through her mending that she had met Jim ' s son almost four years before. Joe Lester had brought him down along one day to see if she could mend a sweater that had been sadly used up in a ball game. He was his father over again, tall, straight and hazel-eyed and at sight of him all the old love and longing flamed np with a new intensity in her heart. From that time on, however, it took a different direction. Jim, the lover, faded into the liackground — and this is a thing that happens very often when real lovers become real husbands — and Jim, the boy, the live flesh-and-blood l)oy, became the center of her existence. The college meant more than ever l eeause of him. Every term, in some way or other, she foiuid out what and when his classes were ; she watched for his name in accounts of college functions ; football scores, hitherto Greek to her. she read as religiously as she did the weather forecast. She had even attended one game in his Sophomore year — but only one. She had sat through it breathless with dread and fear. She knew, of course, that football was not wrong, that none of the things she read about it were true else Dr. Layton would not have allowed Ches ' ick boys to play; but after that she never could understand why people w-ent to watch games unless they had to. It gave her pleasant little thrills of excitement, though, to sit at home Saturday afternoons with the win- dow up so that she could catch the sound of cheering— there was such a sense of importance in having some one to be anxious about. Sometimes she liked to dream that he had gotten hurt— not very badly, of course — a tiny cut on his hand, perhaps, or a lame foot — .just enough to keep him on the couch and give her the blessed privilege of pouring upon him the wealth of tenderness that filled her heart. But, then, she would reflect, she had plenty to be thankful for as it was, more than she had ever had before. Didn ' t she live where she could see him every day on the campus? Didn ' t she sit almost opposite him every Sabbath morning? What matter if her conscience did forbid her to look in that direction 242 (Miss Mary never could decide whether or not he was a worldly pleasure ) he was still there. And best of all didn ' t she mend his clothes every week? Why that was alincst as much as some real mothers got doing. She always saved them to the very last and with that to look forward to, the rest of her work ceased to be drudgery. Though the song was still unsung, its melody welled up in her soul and each day was measured by its sweet refrain. She had just finished his clothes now — the three pairs of socks, the blue shirt that alternated with the black and white one and then this week an extra — a white jersey with the sleeve almost worn out. She passed her hand caressingly over the rent now exquisitely darned, then hastened to answer the knock she had been waiting for. Jim greeted the little woman with a pleasant smile as he entered the room. ' ' How ' s this for real June weather ? ' ' he said. It is a pretty afternoon, she fluttered. It is — will you sit down a little while? she added shyly. The boy hesitated. Years spent with an invalid mother had given him a sympathy and anderstanding far beyond his age and sex; and he knew that Miss Mary always rather expected him to stop and visit a little while when he came for his clothes. It was natural that this should be a l3reak in her monoto- nous life, but it never occurred to him that she might not have liked equally Avell to have had any of the other boys stop if they had taken the time. They teased him sometimes about her evident preference and called him an old maid ' s darling, but Jim only laughed good-naturedly and went the kindly pleasant way his father had gone before hini. He genuinely liked the shy little woman but it was the loneliness of her life that made her of more than passing interest to him, and the thought of this loneliness decided him now. There would be only a little time left for him to give her even an occasional bit of brightness — the boys might wait for him or not as they chose. He laid his cap on the stand nearby and drew his chair up to the window near hers. ' ' It ' 11 be a nice Commencement week if it keeps like this, ' ' he commented. It was characteristic of him that he spoke of college doings rather than of the work he had brought her as the others did. ' ' Have you seen the programs yet I ' ' No, she replied, but I heard Dr. Howell was to speak. She had hoarded up this bit of information to discuss when he came. Conversation with Jim was a serious matter to Miss Mary who did not have a ready flow of small- talk. Yes, I — I guess he is. he ended lamely. Speakers as a rule do not appeal strongly to twenty-four in a week full of picnics, receptions, field-days and good-byes. ' ' Have you ever heard him ? ' ' No, I haven ' t, but I have seen his picture. He ' s a real likely looking man. And there the conversation lagged until Jim began again. 2 3 There ' s a lot of people in town already. Joe Lester ' s mother and fonr sisters eame yesterday. Are your folks coming? she (]ueried timidly, then waited with a fas- beating heart for his answer. Time and again she had planned to ask just some such question — ask it carelessly so that he would never suspect, and time and again the words had refused to come luitil now, when they had seemed almost to have uttered themselves. The boy shook his head; No, he replied. Then tlusliing a little, At least, father and mother aren ' t. They did intend to, but it is a long trip and my mother isn ' t strong, you know. No, she hadn ' t known. 8he Avondered if mothei ' liad been the girl with the white dress and red hair. I have some friends coming though, Jim went on. I ' d like you to meet them. Miss Mary, he said, acting on a sudden im[)ulse. lay I bring them down — I ' ve told them of you. Miss Mary gasped with delight. That he had si)oken of her — that he should care for her to meet his friends — oh. how many wonderful things life held for people. There was Commencement week coming — always an exciting occasion, then her surprise for him and now this — it almost made up for the fact that he was going away soon, never to return, perliaps. She had thought a little about this, too, but not more than she could help. When people liave to weave their own little joys they reach out into the future for bright filling, not dark — there is enough of that always at hand. Her heart was beating fast with a pride and happiness that her prim I shall be very delighted could not conceal. Then a sudden thought struck her — But not Tuesday, she adtled quickly, then colored wondering if she had betrayed herself. For slie had planned a surprise — the first one in all her life, and next Tuesday was to m ii ' k its consummation. After Jim had gone she took out an old black reticule from the top of a writing-desk and poured the contents into her lap. Ten and five make fifteen, and ten, twenty-five, and one, two, three, fo ii- — she counted out the pennies and nickels and dimes as carefully as if she did not know to a cent exactl} what was there. Months fiefore she had begun to save for it — his graduating present. Now saving with Miss Mary did not consist in putting a nickel less in the collection basket every Sabbath or doing without a sunda? now and then ; it meant eating butterless bread and drink- ing twenty instead of forty cent tea and using an old moth-eaten muff instead of gloves and making one fire do the work of two. It had not alwa ' s f)een easy, but the harder it was the more she gloried in it. Wasn ' t that the way real mothers did for their children — saved and toiled and sacrificed? She had never been so happy in her life as she had been while tiiat graduating present 244 had been growing. She fingered the money lovingly as she thonght of how he would look when she gave it to him. It was to be a dresser set — a handsome one with silver trimmings and his initials on it. I Irs. Holland had gotten one like that for Clara the year before and ] Iiss U-avy had never seen anything so beautiful nor so appropriate. She didn ' t know what it would cost, but surely it would not be more than the little heap in her lap. Four dollars and thirty-two cents— a doubt entered her head as she recalled the elaborate silver trimmings — if she could only make it an even five. There was the quarter she had gotten Tuesday for fixing Mrs. Sutphen ' s black waist, but that would have to go for the rent; then eighteen cents for her eggs that week; she might use part of that only if she did— her brow wrinkled thoughtfully. This was the week for the gas bill. Thirty-five from a dollar and a quarter the bo.vs paid her every week— that would leave ninety. Out of that would have to come car fare on Tuesday but there would still be twenty cents left. Twenty cents, and she had plenty of flour— why she could use all the egg money— a cake of yeast was all she needed that week anyway. True, it made her head ache to go withcut tea but what was a head- ache when she had someone to love and plan for. She could drink tea after Jim was gone and there were no Commencements presents to buy. So the eighteen cents went in with the otiier and if Miss ] Iary ' s head was light the next Tuesday morning so was her heart and her hands trembled with excitement as she dressed herself for the unaccustomed journey. It was a beautiful June morning and the streets of the little village were full of students and •isitors : Init among them all there was probably not a heart so supremely happ -. so full of anticipation as that of the shabby little figure who hurried along vith an old fashioned reticule grasped tightly in her hand. She was a half hour early at the station— she had wanted to be in plenty of time and she amused herself by speculating .just how he would look when he got it- just what he would say. Her eyes shone and her lips parted in an eager smile as she sat picturing the whole scene out to herself. The shrill whistle of an approaching train broke in upon her meditations. She rose quickly and hurried forward lest it should leave her. Just as she got outside the door there came to her a sense of something missing. She stood hesitating a moment, then like a flash it dawned upon her what it was— her reticule — her precious money gone — stolen, perhaps. Poor little helpless woman ! Anyone else might have remembered to have looked for it; she knew nothing but that it was gone, all she had thought about and prayed about and dreamed about for months. The money she had toiled for and saved with what sacrifice God only knew. Her heart sank like lead; the brightness had gone out of the morning; she felt suddenly old and worn and tired, and from the brown eyes bright with happiness but a moment before rolled two big heartbrckeu tears. 245 Next morning when Miss Mary woke, Jim was sitting by her bed and beside him stood a tall, slim, strange girl The station master approached her. Is this 3 ' Oiirs, madam? I foimd it lying on the seat, and in an instant the precious bag was again in her hands. Dazed by the unexpected loss and return of her money, bewildered and hurried, she scarcely knew what she was doing as she ran forward to board the train. She did not notice that nearly all the people had gotten on, did not see that the long line of cars had alread.y begun to move until a sharp voice called, Watch out, there! And then it was too late. Her hand touched the cold slippery rail, she felt her feet leave the ground — a quick violent wrench — a buzz- ing in her ears and after that — . Kindly hands gathered the poor little broken body up tenderly and bore it back home. There was no hope, the doctor said, although she might linger for a day or two. They had had to take the reticule from her by main force — the withered fingers seemed to be locked around it. Later she grew more restless, moaning now and then and moving her uninjured arm aroimd as though in search of something. Maybe it ' s that old black bag, a man suggested. She was holding onto it tight when Ave picked her up. She fell cpiiet after the bag was brought and they thought she was sleeping when suddenly she opened her eyes and called, ' ' Jim. ' ' ' ' Who ' s Jim ! ' ' they asked each other. ' ' She has n o relatives here — never had any by the name of Jim that we know of. She was still calling the name at intervals when a little group of college girls came in. I ' ll tell you, one of them said, it might be Jim Ekas she wants. She always did his mending and he was awfuUj good to her. I don ' t think he ' s any relation, though. She had hardly ceased speaking when Jim himself entered. They told him of her strange whim and his face softened as he remembered how pathetically grateful she had seemed the Saturday before for the time he had spent with her. It was scarcely likely it was he she meant l)ut it would do no harm to see. This is Jim, Miss Mary, he said, leaning over the bed, Jim Ekas. Don ' t you know me? It may be she did, it ma,y be she didn ' t. At all events she grew ([uieter after he came and lay for a long time with her eyes half closed. Meanwhile Jim was thinking. AVhat if it were he she wanted. Sick people had queer notions sometimes. He looked at the thin face on the pillow and thought of his own mother. ' I ' ll watch with you tonight, Mrs. Logan, if you ' ll let me. There ought to be some man here and I ' d like to. Mazie, turning to one of the college girls, will you take a note up to Bess ? She ' s staying with Grace Shoreham. Next morning when Miss Mary woke Jim was sitting by her bed and beside him stood a tall, slim, strange girl — the same one v. ' lio had hurt her 247 Ihirty years before. She was too tired to feel resentment hut she wislied she would go away. Then a fear smote lier heart — her retieule. The strange girl had stolen it — she started up exeitedly, then fell back faint and quivering with pain in every nerve. Her hand still groped restlessly around and Jim. divining the cause of her uneasiness, took the l)laek bag from a stand and gave it to her. In a little while she aroused again and knew him. A ghost of a smile hovered around her mouth. Then she looked questioningly at his companion. This is Bess. Miss iMary, the — the friend I spoke to you of. She came to see me graduate. ' ' At the word graduate the suffering woman ' s mind eanK- to her fully. This was Commencement then and Jim hadn ' t got his present. The last chance she had had and she had failed. Jim woidd never know now. The tired lids drooped despairingly. What day is it? she queried presently. After they told her she was silent for a little while, not asleep nor unconscious now. only thinking. Perhaps she could get it yet. She had never liked red-haired girls l)ut this one had kind eyes and might help her for Jim ' s sake. She looked at her questioningly and the girl bent over her. I want to see you. she whispered. I don ' t want Jim to know. Bess smiled back at her reassuringly. AYe ' ll manage Jim all right. and that we made ]Miss Alary ' s heart glow. She was no longer a lonely neglected old maid. She had been admitted to the freemasonry of lovers. Jim ' s footsteps had scarcely died away until she drew forth the little bag and emptied its contents on the bed. The coins fell in a silver shower in the coverlid. It ' s for Jim. she whispered, his present, you know. I wanted it before tomorrow. She stopped a moment to gather strength. It ' s to be a dresser set — one with silver on it — no. with initials. It was getting hard to think again. A dresser set — he ' s been — . The words died away into a whisper. Bess could not hear. She had gathered enough, however, to understand and her heart swelled mtli pity for the broken life before her and with pride and love for her gentle- hearted lover. How she must love him to have done all this, for the pennies and nickels and dimes spoke eloquently of how the money had been gathered. I will get it for you. she said, bending over her again, Can you under- stand. ' I ' ll get it right away. Not here. Aliss Alary answered, not in Cheswick. In Tarentum — there ' s car fare in — but a spasm of pain interrupted the sentence and she watched dumbly while Bess gathered up the money. I ' ll be back soon, the girl said, smoothing back the gray hair. Then a wave of love and pity swept over her. Oh, Aliss Alary. I know. I love him. too. he is so good. ' and she buried her face in the pillow. 248 The trenibliiiy hand stroked the Ijright head lovingly. She forgot that she did not like i-ed-haired girls. This mnst be Heaven and she was getting all the wonderful things she had missed on earth. You ' ll be careful, she cautioned, as Bess was leaving. It ' s all — all I have. Be sure to get one with silver on, and his initials, J. E. and the tired eyes fell again. It was late that evening when Bess returned. She is almost gone, said Jim as he met her at the door. She has asked for you several times. It n l do no harm to rouse her if you can, said the doctor, it ' s only a question of a few moments now, anyway. But Miss Mary had already awakened and was looking anxiously at her messenger. Her face shone with an unutterable content as Bess cut the string and displayed the present in all its glory. She opened her lips to speak but no words came. More than that, the speech she had planned was going from her. She stretched out her hand and touched the shining surface of the box, then looked up at Jim, a great light and longing dawning in her eyes. His eyes were hot with blinding tears as he bent over her and put one strong young arm under her head. Some divine inspiration had enabled him in a measure to interpret the unsatisfied hunger of the woman before him and stooping still lower he pressed his lips reverently to the brow even then cold and marblelike. A smil e of tender Ijrilliant radiance transfigured her worn face for a moment, then the beautiful brown eyes closed slowly. The silent heart- song had ended in a glorious amen and the last note swelling through gates already swung wide was caiight up and blended with the sweet strains of an angel chorus. ; ■ Lily Bell Sefton, ' 11 24s Denison In Burma Della Williams Dudley TrilK author of a delightful book called First Impressions of Burma sa.ys something like this, There is a haunting charm about Burma that IS hard to define, but it is true that no matter whether you have been there a few months or many years you always long to return. Per- haps all will not agree as to what that charm is, but to me it is the people. The jolly, happy-go-lucky Burman, who Avorks when he has to and enters into every feast with a joyful heart and a gay disregard of the morrow. Do tirst impressions last ? Perhaps not all, but some do, certainly. How- ever, the ideas of the foreign field and the work out there, that are held when leaving the Boston port for the first time, are revolutionized at the end of a year. Do missionaries really and truly enjoy their work out there, or do they try to persuade others to go because misery loves company? Inasmuch as the missionary is as keen to have his brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and friends A Buddhi School go as well as others, it looks as if he must think it a good thing. Perhaps they Hke the East because they have a snap out there, are waited upon by servants and hold the position of monarehs. Since the cook is prone to be drnnk when he is needed most, the washerman rents your shirts to a gentleman of decided brunnetish complexion, your water carrier steals your soap and toweLs, and the nurse teaches the child to deceive and swear fluently in her own tongue, you will agree with me that it is not for the joy the servants bring. A year ' s trial mil confirm vou in that belief. Have you ever noticed how many men—professional men, factory men. day laborers- ' -have a day dream of the time when they will have enough money saved up to buv a little farm where they can end their days in peace and .joy? Why do they think of a farm ? It is because of the joys men feel in sowing and reaping. The farmer plants his grain and has the joy of seeing it sprout, grow and ripen for harvest. He sees a definite result as the outcome of his work. The missionarv, too, is a sower. Sometimes he sees the fruit of his labors, m varying degrees of abundance, and at other times the harvest must be left tor others to garner. But whether he has sown or reaped, when the time of his furlough falls due and as he looks back over the seven years just past, though he sees hopes blasted, plans that failed, yet he sees, too, victories won, and he says. What a great privilege it is to be a missionary! Why I would rather be a missionary than a king! Nearly every station has its Anglo-Ver- nacular school consisting of seven grades. These schools, as the name suggests, teach both English and Burmese. Some cities, as Ran- goon. Mandalay, Bassein, I Ioulmein, Toungoo. etc., have quite a number of such schools con- trolled by various religious denominations and also by the goA ' ernment. Each year sees the enrollment of new scholars coming from all kinds of homes and of course we find all kinds of boys and girls among them. Native teach- ers must be carefully selected from the ob- t-iinable few and of these some are wise but A Teacher and His Child mnn ' are otherwise. 251 The (.vci-siulit „f these .s hcols often rails to the lot of the immarried lady missionary while the married missionary living ]„ the same station does the other work. The hrst year finds lu r. interpreter at hand, interviewino- fathers and niothers who h.ve eome to ,.ut Moiino. Moiin- i„ ,s.ho.,]. After the ceremony of presents- her with fruit is finished she proceeds to xwhe down the father ' s name, residence, occupation and religion, dso the hoy ' s name, age date of entrance and whether he has been to school before or not. She is told t., whip him if he IS Innl but she soon learns that the Burmese parent means it as little as does the American. Regii lration of a New School Boy She takes pride in her school of 180 boys and is diligent in her oversio ' ht of the hour devoted to Bible study. Parents write asking her to excuse their sons from this hour but eadi and all receive a polite but firm refusal. Along toward examination time she finds that the boys ' religious fervor waxes strongl she also sees it wane after the examinations are over and when the results are out some of those who failed lose their piety altogether. Thus the wheat and chaff are separated. Each year some boys pass out of the school and either enter a higher school or take up some employment. They send her letters. 252 seme of them containing, perhaps, bits rl queer English hut ol ' them trll li. r that the boys love her and will not forget her kindness to tlieni. They will speak of days when they were ill and how tenderly she cared for them, for mama, the name that single and married ladies go by, must often be nurse and doctor along with her other duties. Sometimes her boys go astray and when they repent as they sometimes do. the first perse n they go to is mama gyi and then with tears of sorrow and repentance they tell her all— of the temptation, their fall, and their sorrow, and she helps them as only a good, wise, loving woman can do. Let me ask right here how many teachers in America have such a privilege? They may scoft ' and say they would not want it but they deceive themselves for in every woman ' s heart the seed of love lies dormant. Placed in a soil where it will grow, given the sunshine and rain of need. ' souls aroimd it and it blossoms into rare loveliness. What greater i)rivilege than ours— that of leading souls upward? What higher mission has woman than of purifying the lives around her? Take the child that enters school during her first year, when her first furlough falls due he has finished his school course and is ready to go to one of the big cities and enter a high school. Though he may not have received per- mission to be baptized yet he believes in God and says so boldly and liravely. His seven years have changed him from a shy little boy who knew no English, who worshiped idols and feared evil spirits, to a young man with a fairly good English vocabulary and he has given up the old religion which was purely selfish for the religion of Jesus Christ which is purely unselfish. He is wiser, too, in his knowledge as to right and wrong and he knows that the motto, it is all right to lie provided you are not caught in it, is a poor one to hang to. lie knows that though he ma. - go out into the world he will never get beyond the love and prayers of his teacher and that thought is a tower of strength in the time of temptation. Because the missionary knows that she ndes m the hearts of her lioys aiul girls, because slie knows that they are looking and longing for her return to them once more — she turns a smiling face toward the field of her work when her furlough is over. I should think that when you are home on furlough you would be so glad to be here that you would never want to return again, said one to nie and as she spoke I saw in fancy the eld depot at : Ieiktila as it will l)e Avhen we return. I saw the l)oys. girls, tea-hers. Christians, friends lined up awaiting the train— nearly two hundred in all : I saw the rush to be the first to greet us, grimy hands grabbing the rails as the train pidls in ; heard them exclaim over our appearance; felt my fingers crushed in the warm clas]) of many hands; saw on every face naught but joy and love. Who would not want to go where such 233 a royal welcome awaited them? Perhaps in some great eastern field there are hearts waiting for you. Plave you ever thought of it? Are you willing to go? Time was when we expressed our dpiiiion of the missionary thus, There was a mission;! ry Who went to Timl)uetoo; The heathen ate him And his hymn book, too. Now-a-days we see the missionary home on his furlough and we know that this is not true. The first two years sees him plugging at the language but when the A. B. M. U. School, Meiktila first and second examinations are over he is off to the .jungle to increase his vocabulary and to get the kinks taken out of his pronunciation. Perhaps it were better to say get some kinks in. When he begins jungling he sees for himself that the fields are white for the harvest and as the days go by he realizes sadly that the laborers are few. Mr. Dudley ' s field in Myingyan had 1,500,000 people in it. Do you suppose that one-half, one-third, one-fifth, 254 one-tenth, or even t)ne-luindredth ever heard him ? The missionary may be up to date, but his eq upnient is not. The word .jungle means country and a .jungle walla is a country jake. ' ' The jungl e dit¥ers in different parts of Burma. In lower Burma where the rain fall is heavy it often means a dense impassable forest with the trees closely connected by heavy vines, and the foliage is so dense that when one leaves the beaten track a large knife is necessary to cut one ' s way. Our district, however, is the dry belt and the jungle is a dry, treeless desert. Here and there one sees a few stunted shrubs and where the rain has made hollows you some- times come across a group of toddy palms. This desert-like country is easy to travel over and the American oil-drillers, who are pretty well scattered over it travel by means of ponies. With two sturdy little ponies and a strong American buck-board they either keep to the road or cut across the country at the rate of seven miles an hour. The missionary travels by ox-cart and these rapid vehicles cover the ground at the rate of two miles an hour, provided the ox does not get balky and lie down. No amount of persuasion can force the ox from the road— not even if the persuader is a good lively gad. You ask why the mission- ary does not use a buck-board? AVell, a Imek-board and ponies cost about $285 and an areoplane costs a little more. AVhere does the missionary sleep? Scattered over the towns and along the roads in the jungle are buildings called zayats. These consist of a floor, roof, and perhaps one. two, or three open sides. They are built by good Buddhists that they may obtain merit and are used by travelers to sleep and rest in. Entering one of these zayats the missionary opens up his bundles, puts up his bed, chair and table, hangs his mosquito net and is ready for visitors. A curtain covers the sides but does not prevent curious heads from lifting it up and peeking through at the white man. How they wish he would take off his shoes and stockings so they could see if his legs are white ! There is a fascination in jungling in spite of its hardships and the mis- sionary returning from a six weeks ' tour looks back with pleasure upon the many scenes that memory holds. There were nights when the villagers called together by the thugi or head man, listened to the native preacher and the missionary as they told the old, old story. : Iany of them had never heard it before. The flickering light of the candle fell on the faces— some dull and heavy, some resent- ful, some, ah, some eager to hear the good news. Questions are asked and often lively discussions ensue but all good-naturedly. There is generally a boy from that or some near-by village who has been in the mission school and who on his return has brought back wonderful tales of the white missionaries. Tliis boy forms quite a link between missionary and people. Whereas in former times the missionary received a cold welcome because his face was white, the report of that small boy, who tells them of care in time of sickness, of holiday sports and feasts, of love for the Burman, puts a totally different light on matters for they then know that the missionary is their friend, too. 255 After the iifcjicliiiio ' is over the luitive preachei ' s iiiiii jle amont; ' the people, tnlkiii-; ' and givinft ' out tracts to tliose wiio ai-e interested. As time is shdi ' t. travel shiw. and as there are many vilhiu ' es the missionary and his heljx ' i ' s must move on. Early in the moriiinu ' the last bed is rolled up. the dishes and eooking ' utensils rattling in the box are loaded onto the ox-eart, the preachers say a last few words to those who are interested, the mission- ary says he will try to return soon and then as the early mornin ? sun- lisht falls upon the scene the cart begins to groan and creak and the travelers are otf and away to the next Coolie Women of Burma villao e Sometimes they iind a man who believes and who wishes baptism. Per- haps he has heard the gospel before, perhaps he has been converted by a tract, or maybe some native Christian has shown him the way. He is examined by the native preachers and if found worthy is baptized. Bach village has a big pond that is filled during the rainy season. This supply lasts a whole year, until the next rains come. In this pond the people bathe, the cattle, horses, pigs, chick- ens and people get their drinking water, and in this pond the new convert is baptized. So the good seed is sown and though others often reap the harvest it is not for us to grow discouraged but to trust and obey. Medical missionaries are needed in every country of the east, and Iiulia especially needs women doctors. Christ ' s power to heal attracted more atten- tion than did his teachings and it is so today. Men with only a few ideas of medicine, who make no pretense of knowing anything in that line are forced to do medical work because of the lack of doctors on the field. To heal the soul as well as the body is the glorious privilege of the medical missionary. Perhaps this great Laymen ' s Movement will usher in the dawn of a new day for the peoples of the East. Through them the great needs of the field, the great oppor- tunities that await the workers who are willing to go there will l e known and felt as never before. Denison ' s sens are in evei;v field but there are not enough. Each and every one of you wish to invest your life Avhere it will bring the largest return. Before you decide investigate missions, pusli back the silken curtain of the East and on her door you will see in big bold letters this word— 0 PPORTUNITY. 256 The Basket HAVING reached the time of life when a man ' s domestic felicity has sweetened some score and odd years of wear and strain, when the few staunch friends to whom he has a right have settled themi-selves solidly in the nooks of his affection, or, perchance, having hid his talent in a napkin, he returns nightly to the silent greeting of his chambers, and smokes his after dinner cigar in the company of his meditations, I moved into this third floor back that commands an expanse of rear-yard fence, clothes-pole and chimney-pot. Not that I must needs perforce choose such an outlook. Such carpets as mine are rare in a third floor back. Rarer still are the volumes that crowd the oak cases; yet more rare the trophies of sea and wilderness, of years of sauntering up and down this odd earth. Rarest of all are the pipes that repose among the friar heads of the old German pipe-rack ' ; ciuaint carved meerschaums ; solid blackened briars ; amber stems and bone ; gold mounted and silver mounted ; even a plebeian corn-cob or so ; all these tried comrades whose aroma has soothed the restlessness of the past and fills that vista of might-have-been, down which the wintering bachelor is prone to stare, with a grateful purpling mist. No, mine is not the third floor back of poverty. A more genial principle guided my choice. There is companionship in yonder .jumble of chimney-pots looking in at your window. From early dawn till the obscurity of evening drops upon them they gossip across the alley-way. neighborly wise, tattling of family matters, when the good man makes the fire, when the housewife is at work in her kitchen, and, sometimes in a silent sort of fashion as though strictly l)ct veen stack and stack, that times are hard, and the little ones are suffering; while you, puffing your pipe by the window, answer them in their own tongue. The house-backs themselves are a familiar confidential tribe, and on warm days, when the rear doors are open, wax garrulous, babl)ling a hundred domestic secrets; house cleaning, boiled cabbage, and parental discipline. The clothes- poles and board begirt yards spin endless stories of wifely care and thrift. Steeped in the flavor of Monday suds they whiten Avith a m. ' riad fantastic l)an- ners whose odd devices ca.jole the single elderly personage into devious and vain speculation. There is one family of back-yard, kitchen door and chinniey-pot that I single out from its confusion of neighbors, pai tl ' , perhajis, because it lies within a stone ' s toss of my writing table but mainl - 1) - reason of its guardian spirit, a little woman in faded calico. She is abroad in the fore part of the morning, broom in hand, sweeping the brick walk which encircles a grass plot usurped by plantain and dandelion; a brown cheeked, bi ' own haired little body amid whose last named possession is 257 entwined some proportion of gray. One may see her at any hour, standing in the door-way, an eye to the sturdy cherub who reigns viceroy over this diminutive empire, another to the kitchen range with its crackle and liuni.. So delicately attuned have I become to the dialect of this back-yard region that the observations of this particular door-way reach me distinct from the l)abel of its jostling neighbors, holding a more savory converse than all its iiniltitu- dinous companions. On sunnner mornings ere the chimneys have awakened or the faint voice of Dame Nature has been lost in the bustle of the day, one ' s eye is dra vn by a basket hanging from a nail driven in the post of the door. ' Tis a wicker basket woven with a purple pattern, small l)ut of goodish depth, a connnonplace basket not designed to play pranks Avith a single elderly fancy. Yet from the moment I saw it hanging solitary in the early dawn it exerted a vaguely dis- turbing influence on the easy downward .jog of my life, opening unexpected vistas and secluded nocks of memories. It is only for an hour at best that I see it for scarcely has the belated milk-man rattled homeward when the little Avoman in calico lifts the basket from its pei ' ch leaving me with nothing upon which to hang my conjectures but the bare nail. None the less, there are days on which the wicker basket will haunt me long after the waiter has pocketed his morning tip. plaguing me with reveries wholly unbecoming to so bald a pate as mine. It has an odd way of svnnging itself from my arm and once it is firmly there these latter day scenes slip away and I find myself in a woodlaiid. distant in space and time, where of old I hunted airy monsters and built me castles of leaf and sunshine. Here in a glen where the light dances among the birch leaves I sat on the crisp brown carpet watching the shifting network of sun- beam and shadow, the wicker basket, in which of la te there is tucked a red fringed napkin, at my side. Suddenly the bushes opposite rustle and looking up I see the cheery broAvn face of a little woman, her hair mingled with the strands of silver and catch the gleam of blue cloth amid the green of the under- brush. Then I happen upon more active scenes, scenes of past merry-making, old-fashioned picnics, that I have striven to bury deep under the accunuilated rubbish of years, for why should fifty fret itself with the futility of neglected faces. The rag-man chants his jargon in the alley, or some guileless son of Italy grinds out a mangled melody, and I am home again in my third floor back, restless, moody, sombre. When the blue devil thus insinuates himself into my apartments I know of but one remedy, to take hat and walking stick and hie me forth under the city sky and raml:)le through its ciuieter by-ways. Thus I have often shaken off that pestilent fellow who has dogged me of late years with unseemly persis- tence. On such a journey, more protracted than customary, my path led along 258 a streteli of railroad, one side shaded by a high embankment, the other dropping away to a suburban valley scarcely touched by the straggling frontier of the city. Here, seated with his back to a pile of discarded ties, weather-beaten and tanned as himself. I happened on a solitary lineman. If one could judge from his furrowed face and grizzled hair, he had wintered as many years as I, but despite the overalls and incumbering climbing-irons a strange content- ment was upon him. a i)cace beyond my ken. The city clock struck out noon as I paused, a stationary tool-box between myself and the workman. Presently he reached down and drew up a wicker basket woven w ith a purple pattern. Running his hand lightly over the red- fringed napkin he lingered a moment as though giving inaudible thanks and having folded the cloth carefully drew out a brown tlask. It had been wrapped snugly in a white cloth and sent up so fragrant a steam that I knew that this was none other than the basket of the little woman in calico. The man with the furrowed face was long over his coffee, seeming loath to finish it. In truth ' twas a goodly drink that could so lighten the countenance. Next there w ere sandwiches, built on a comfortable scale, but dainty withal. The lineman, his eye on the smoky horizon, munched gravely on down to the knobby home-made cooky, put the napkin and flask in the basket, lighted his pipe and vanished around a bend of the embankment. The blue devil trudged Avith me back to my lodging and has there taken ufi his abode. IMy old friends, the chimney-pots and rear-doors, have con- spired against me. urging me to all manner of folly, and the little wicker basket — well, my pipes are packed and tomorrow my friend, the blue devil, will be the sole occupant of this third floor back. Donald M. Galley. s 259 The Village Beautiful A fairy fascination hangs lil e a mist over this little Ohio village. It is difficult to define though its all-pervading influence is easily felt and L the longer a person remains where his eyes can see and his ears can hear the wonderful things about him the firmer grows the hold of tliis irresistible love. To the man whose life has grown accustomed to the hum and hurry of the metropolis until he ever longs for the crash and roar of the ( rowded streets, perhaps Granville does seem slow and sedate. But to the person who lo ' es the quiet and the freshness, the fields and the brooks of God ' s great out- of-doors nothing can be more delightful than these view-topped hills and flower- choked valleys. Even the town itself, nestling unobtrusively in its branching little nook as though it hardly dared look over the hills adjacent, does not seem discordant with the entire country round. Here Nature dresses herself in accord with her own dainty rural tastes and r.o man interferes. There is beauty in it all, and peace, and comfort, that baffles description. Those who have grown up here enjoy the surroundings passively, as though they took all such environment for granted; and they never learn what their l)irthplace possesses until the cold shoulder of the outer world jostles them into consciousness. But there are many — and their span of l ife here is short — who listen and look through all the days of their sojourn — if their souls are not hardened and sordid. To them it all becomes more and more marvelous as the months fleet past. What wonder then that dtiring the vacation ' s stretch they surprise and even grieve the sacrificing loved ones who sent them here by re- ferring to this as home. They may, however, be forgiven that slip because Granville is home, a real, lovely, enchanting home. Everybody and everything seems to love it as such — its arms are outstretched so eagerly and so beautifully to receive its children. The bursting maple leaves nod an early spring greeting to the growing grasses. The songs of the birds welcome the first tiny flower. And everything joins in luring stranger or friend out into the world of siinshine. ' Tis provoking, to be sure, to sit at one ' s desk upon a beautiful afternoon or during a moonlit evening vainly endeavoring to translate a musty Greek sentence or solve a knotty problem when the very leaf-decked branches of the tree that looks in at the nearest window tantalizingly tap their summons on the pane; and when the Wanderlust will not be repressed by the haunting prospect of text-book or class-room. Even after the spring weeks have passed and the year has matured into summer green and bloom the passion still remains. It grows and strengthens ; nor is it remedied by extended yieldings that take one out over the winding roads and into the whispering woodland. Then where is he who scoffs at lovers and friends because they go aimless- 261 ly ambling Avherever fancy leads? In inviting crevices gush beautiful springs whose waters are cooling and satisfying. The whole world seems often shut in by the rolling hilltops on either side and the roadway that tapers before and behind into a tiny ribbon overhung with arching liranclies. During those times does the joy of living well up in a person ' s soul. Then, if ever, the heart turns naturally to give thanks to a ] Iaker who has caused the sun to shine and the grass to grow. The authorities say it is altogether improper to forget which is a highway and to be led off into unbeaten paths. But they must shut their eyes and stop their ears when they say so and think, only think, of the ways of men in the cities where the great games of business and living demand the restraining influence of enforced rules. They know all too well what the heart says and they feel for those who have turned aside and answered the call of Dame Nature, who spreads out her lap and whispers, Come, sit with me here, my children. The vacation days come sometimes far too soon. Then Duty no longer says stay, but noAv her voice utters, hither, and the student responds to the summons. He may rejoice at the new release from the midnight oil and the routine of studies; he may even look eagerly forward, counting the days, the hours, the minutes, until he may see the loved ones at home and may face new occupations or leisure ; but, nevertheless, as he is hurried out of the little sphere of his school life, as he winds in and out among those flower-matted hillsides, realizing that he shall see them no more for a while, his soul whispers farewell and he turns away, thinking. The summer months are passed in a hundred different ways. They are filled with pleasure and sunshine, or perhaps nothing but work and ditiiculty. But they go, nevertheless. Then the home-coming is always a happy time. Old friends grasp each others ' hands as they look again into familiar faces; and the new comers, too, are heartily welcomed into the circle of friendships and introduced to the ways and whims of Granville. The machinery of the college on the hill begins once more to grind out its daily recpiirements and everything settles doAvn into a regular routine. But to the one who has never heard it before or to the one who has answered it often comes the call from the outside. The same old trouble — that of love, sometimes unanswerable — returns to entice and allure. The time arrives later when Dame Nature takes unto herself tints and forms that cannot be described, and leave the lieholder wrapt in wonder. Yet as he is still gazing and marveling the scene is changed again and silently out of the leaden sky falls the winter. The wind whistles and the branches crackle — even the snow piles high sometimes on bench and hedge and the traveler must carefully and tediously follow the unreasonable steps of some predecessor, but with it all the feeling does not come that Nature is dealing harshly with her 263 children. What the city transfornis into a l.)hickened heap is here cnrionsly monlded and shaped into careless figures of pure beaut} ' -. Through the frosty air rings the delighted cry of the coasting party and the jingle of jolly sleigh bells. And so the years roll roimd. Each new season is welcomed because men and women are ever like little children, turning eagerly to what comes next. Granville seems to those who know her to contain a charm that changes and varies and that goes deeper and deeper into the chamber of love in the soul of man until the very thought of her sends up messages of thanks that the all-wise Father has, amidst all his handiwork, created such a spot of quiet and ' repose, to which its lovers may return from time to time for a rest from the duties that have scattered them afar. C. A. N. 265 Granville There ' s a beautiful spot on this broad, broad earth, And more beautiful still may it be; Where the sun is so warm and the trees jjut forth ' J ' hcir verdure so lavishly. Not great in the sense that men mean great Nor grand in its beauty and power, But modestly fair in its luuulile state, With a grace that per -ades a sweet flower. Nothing harsh enters there to disturb its repose; In dignified calm it has stood, As if consciously proiid of its past and of those AVho in it have been noble and good. And well may it glory ajid well may be proud Of its honorable record and men. There ' s a glory that ' s greater than that of the crowd — In the things that are and have been. Beneath those immemorial trees ] Iany great and good ones have walked ; One can almost hear their sweet melodies And the wisdom of those as they talked. That is greatness enough : and what can be greater Than to point to the men it has reared; To the pious souls who loved their Creator, And to soldiers who never have feared 266 It has greatness eiiovigli. tliat Arcadian retreat; It is loved by its sons everywhere, And they long for its rest and its comforts so sweet; How they often long to be there! Let the others boast of their nurMl)ers and growth And their various titles to fame; But then rather rejoice that thy sons are loathe Thus with noises to baffle thy name. ' Tis better for thee to be loved tli;in praised; i Iay that lot forever be thine. And whatever temple to thee may be raised May the heart be thy permanent shrine. Fair Granville — the spot on this broad, broad earth Where our thoughts turn with infinite pride, Many hail thee the place of their souls ' real birth. May thy greatness and beauty abide. F. L. H. 267 The Editor ' s Effusion TIIl RE is only one big drawliack cdniK cted Avith the publication of an xVdytvun, and that is no more nor less than what we are about to per- petrate — an editorial. In sneh a docnnient a person is supposed to •say something. No one realizes the fact better than the editor himself and there can certainly l)e no doul)t that he is absolutely the first individual to discover, after the task is done, that nothing has been said. When he begins to i)lan his book the first night-mare that begins to make his dreams uneasy is the one of the unfinished editorial and the very last bit of copy that goes to press is that same editorial, hurriedly written. We have no apologies to make for this volume of Denison ' s annual. People have no right to apologize who have had plenty of time to do their tasks in, who have had good advice from those who kno v, who have l)een nobly assisted by good associates and willing workers, who know full well that what they are doing is something which is intended to last, not for a year, nor for a decade, but for an indefinite length of time. Therefore, if we have made a faihu-e of our Adytum, blame us, please. Look it over and .judge for yourself, kind reader, — because, you know, it is very kind of you to read this page. The aim has been to put together in one volume those things which will interest and instruct facility, stxidents and alumni of Denison. That is all — and truly it is aim enough. Some will complain, no doubt, and some will congratulate but we care not, provided the majority of those who take the time to peruse the book feel that the time so spent has not been wasted. But, to depart from generalities and the customary statements, we feel constrained to put forth certain ideas and facts which may be valuable and instructive to those who come after and upon whom the mantle of this responsi- bilit.x- falls. For a long time there has been a complaint among those who have to handle Adytums upon l:)ook shelves in libraries that the variety of covers has made the books hard to care for and unpleasant to look at. The objection is excellently taken. AVithout intending to dictate, in any degree, the policy of succeeding editors and managers, it has been our earnest endeavor to secure a cover for this volume which would prove satisfactory as a permanent one for the Adytums yet unpublished. The design has been left plain, intentionally, and the seal is such as to allow of change enough to distinguish one edition from another. We know of colleges which have standard covers that are never varied. Such a practice is an enviable one, for a student who is loyal enough to his Alma Mater to provide himself with an annual every year during his college life, has in that case a uniform set of books to remind him of the sehool- 268 clays past ; and he can well be proud of the books. Therefore, we recommend heartily that the ■ coming managements strive to secure such a uniformity of cover for Adytums. ' , ■ Perhaps some will notice that the calendar of this book is incomplete. It lacks about two weeks of being a full year in length. The reason for that fact is easily explained. Heretofore it has been the custom to run these calen- dars from xVpril 1 to April 1 with the result that copy had always to be held back from the printer and the last two weeks or more were poorly prepared and late to press. This confusion was unnecessary but no one seemed to care to change the custom. We, however, have taken it upon ourselves to make the change and, although realizing the possible objection to an incomplete calendar, we sent it in when the circumstances demanded and turned the responsibility over to the next incumbents. . Many readers will doubtless be sorry to find that this volume contains no prize stories and poems. For several years Adytums have not failed to print stories and poems which had been awarded prizes in contests held among the students of the University. That no such productions are found herein need not, however, be taken as an indication that we did not care to keep up that custom. We did, most emphatically, but the compositions which were submitted would hardly have graced the pages of the book and therefore we have saved both ourselves and the authors no little embarrassment by leaving the stories and poems unpublished. It is deplorable that in an institution of this size and with the reputation for scholarship that this University has there are not several students with talent and ambition enough to make a prize contest worth while. We sincerely hope that this year has been an exception and that in times to come no such difficulty will be again experienced, for it is disappointing indeed to see such a marked lack of interest in literary endeavors. The condition mentioned above is only another indication of the lack of spirit which seems to many to be so prevalent today. Where has o ir school spirit gone? AVhere is some of that old-fashioned feeling that took everybody to the forum, the diamond, the gridiron and the basketball floor ? Gone ? No, we thing not — not gone — only sleeping! Here ' s the best, all the best in life, the happy pastimes, and the valuable associations with professors and books and fellow students. AVhy not rouse ourselves. Deniscnians, and invigorate that lifeless mass— the student bod ' f Let ' s lay aside these mingled feuds and paltry differences and cheer, sing and fight for Denison ! That will make this life worth while and the things it contains more pleasant. In closing we wish to express our deep indebtedness to those who have assisted us so faithfully in the work just completed. We refer now, not to the 269 members of the Adytum Board for they get their own satisfaction for the work they have done, bnt to the persons who have eontril)uted material and advice at various times. To Professor W. 11. Johnson, for his history and appreciation of (iovernor Harmon, to J Iiss Montgomery for her article on Miss Barker, to Professor G. F. Kibben for his words of appreciation on Rev. A. S. Carman, to Mrs. Dudley for her story from Burma and to Rev. A. S. Carman for his Re- ligious Influences at Denisnn do we extend in this permanent form our heartiest thanks and appreciation. C.

ADLER BROS. CO A Morning ' s Walk Gome, Amitie, put on your bonnet, I want to show you some of the Granville sights this morning. Don ' t you have an.y studying to do? I thuught you had to work most of the time here — your mother said you did. AVell, we do, that is, ordinarily we do; have to grind ever.y night till eleven or twelve o ' clock — we like to do it, too — but Prexie passed a law that we weren ' t to work more than fifteen minutes a da} ' while our relations were here. He says the home folks ought to be put first, so come along — watch, there ' s two steps there. Gome on we ' ll go tliis way. Do 3 ' ou see that man just ahead of us ? Where — oh yes, that one with — wh.v he ' s gone now — Yes, he ' s the now-you-see-it and now-you-don ' t of Denison. That ' s Kent. He has to hustle that way, his time ' s so precious. AVhy l)efore he and J Ir. Hopkins came things here .just slid l]ong any old way. Now everything is as well managed as a graded school with an old maid teacher at the head of it. The Glee Glub takes trips that are really explorations — the.v push far beyond the borders of civilization — have to, sometimes ; they had to build an addition to the Town Hall to accommodate the crowds that Kent l)u]lied into attending the Lecture Gourse. ' ' ' ' La, me ! Gollege surel.y do make a difference in people. AVho ' s that going up the steps? That, Auntie, is Professor Brumback, the head of the department of Amalgamated Smells and Hazy Hypotheses. We ' ll go up to his rooms after a while if we can get in. That man ' s a wonder — knows more different kinds of metallurgy than any other man in the world and can ask more fool questions about them than any other two men. Do you see how serious he is — how he looks straight before him all the time? AVell, he ' s watching out for rare ele- ments now, and when he finds them he ' s going to lengthen liis Freshman course. ' ' Rare elements, what ' s them ? ' ' Oh, some things that got away from the Lab. a iew years ago. They escaped shortly after the fire and Brummy ' s been on the lookout for them ever since. ' ' Say, James, what ' s that l)ig l)uih_ling u]) there — it looks like the opery house in Duller. ' ' That, oh that ' s the Gym and that man coming out of it is Doc Freeman. Doc Freeman! Why he don ' t look like Doctor Simpson — he haint even got a collar on, and he ' s a perfessor you say? A doctor? Dear me! 272 Yes, Auntie, Doctor likes to go deeoUette sometimes. It ' s just a whim of his, though. Usually he is the best dressed man in school and earefid about his classes, too. Yv ' ould you believe it — I ' ve seen him stop his players in the middle of a football game and make them take a bath and change their clothes. I know a man myself he did it with. He came pretty near making the whole team do it at the 0. S. U. Game. Well! Well! But James, what ' s that coming down the hill — those queer looking creatures. ' ' Those are the track m — Track! They ought to stay on it then. Oh, dear me! They ' re coming this wa ' ! Oh! Oh! and they ain ' t got any clothes on at all. Oh my! Oh my! what shall I do? Me, a respectable woman, oh, I shall faint, I know I shall! There, there Auntie, its all over — they ' re gone now. Here ' s your um- brella. Come on we ' ll go up to Science Hall — it must be nearly chapel time — By George, it is now — there go Becker and Boyer and Bowers. Hurry up, old men, you ' ll make it all right! Make what, James? I am growing suspicious of this place, make what? Why, Auntie, it ' s this way: They ' re trying to get away from Gil. He ' s a wicked old chap who tries to persuade the boys to leave their studies and come to a little entertainment he and Prexie give every morning about ten. It ' s a good enough show all right but those boys are all hard students and can ' t bear KING THE JEWELER FOR DENISON PENNANTS SOUVENIR SPOONS AND DENISON NOVELTIES Granville, Ohio to leave their studies that long. There ' s Gil now with l)icl :, too, ns I live. Chapel evidently hasn ' t started yet. Why James, them men are quarreling — that one with the white hair is shaking his fist. Hadn ' t you better try to separate them ? ' ' Me! Oh, they ' re not fighting. They ' re just trying to reach a conclu- sion as to whether Jonah entered the whale through f re-ordination or through man ' s free agency. Dick looks as though he ' d got the best of it. Wliat side is he on? Dick — oh he ' s on whichever one Gil isn ' t. That ' s the way they always pick sides. Here ! Let ' s cut across this other way. I don ' t want Gil to see me — I mean — I hate to disturb him while he is talking. You must be quite a friend of your teachers to call them by their first names. I ' m sure I ' m glad you have done so well in school, James, and your folks will be glad to hear about it. What makes that young man and woman over there act so strangely? There, they are turning the corner by that big building. Where? Oh, that ' s Grace Field and Jordan, They ' ve just got en- gaged privileges. ' ' Engaged privileges! What in the nation ' s them? Why its sort of a degree they give at the Sem for a six months (-(jurse, something like good conduct marks in jail. Quite a number of the fellows are taking the course — Clark, from over near Bladensburg and that young Deibel I had home with me last vacation both registered this semester. I don ' t know whether they ' ll get through or not for they got a condition in it in March. Do those two yoimg men I met last night on Sugar Loaf take it? I heard them say something about privileges. The boys we met last night? — oh I know. Mitchell and Campbell. No, they got their degrees ages ago. They ' re doing post-graduate work in it now. Who teaches it? Prof. Willie with his Junior English but it comes in the Science group. It ' s mostly laboratory and field work. I see — which way do we go now? Up here, Auntie, I want you to see the library if we have time. Holy Smokes — it ' s ten minutes to eleven. Say, I ' U have to take you down now — I ' ve a class at eleven. Eleven o ' clock did you say? Mercy on me — a whole morning wasted and we hain ' t seen a single thing I ' ' 274 We ' re showing Classy, Refined Garments in Clothing. Society Brand for College Men.

The Perspicacious Prodigy THE deserving but unfortunate guy of the previous inflection had a pal and after he had mingled with the high-brows for a spell he got a hunch that this gink would fit in some nice in the aforementioned institution so he penned a screed and bid him come hither and get thick with the assimilators of lore. So after a brief parley this merry mut from an undersized burg rolled olf the omnibus in the thriving village for the purpose of crossing bats with the learned dispensers of various and sundry weighty subjects. Now this adolescent one was over seven and had neither fallen from a Christmas tree nor had been drawn at a grab social; his cerebellum was on the job and he had a straight tip that when it came to hanging one on the Prof, he was just about as sly as they hatched ' em. After sparring a bit to get acclimated he hit the grit for the big knob to loll in the seat of learning. After exhibiting his passports to the man with the big voice and taking on a schediile of 18 plus he pried himself loose from forty-six of the paternal piasters and then betook him- self to the lairs of those whom he had reimbursed to grow knowledge crops on his sterile roof-garden. At the outset he played Punctual Paul and prattled, ' ' Present, ' ' at each and every intellectual soiree. ' ' This, ' ' quoth he, ' ' will put me in right with the gullible ones. Soon when the roll was called he began to be among those absent for his system was to come under the wire on a gallop and then taper oS unobtrusively and to perambulate just hurriedly enough to get by the distance flag. Alas ! and e ' en also alack ! The poor tool with the puerile intellect and the bum dope sheet reckoned vnthout one big noise — The Concourse of Learned Minds for the Detection, Detention, and Destruction of Delinquent Dolittles. It occurred that per calendar and almanac dope, Friday the twenty-eighth came to pass and with it the rural distributors of Uncle Sam ' s missives did a Land Office Business. Our comrade of the self -inflated mentality peeked in at the postoffice portal only to collide with a suspicious looking one-center. He had seen other individuals acquire these so he coyly concealed it in his toga until he had gained the privacy of his own boudoir. On perusal he found the dire notification couched in terms of endearment and encouragement which ran : Begone, thou mental bankrupt! Thirteen hours must be carried and thou couldst not carry thirteen minutes in a basket. ' ' On this our perspicacious prodigy pondered a heap but all to no avail; they had his goat, and tucking his Hart, Schaffner and ] Iarx into his gladstone he hied him to new fields of endeavor. Moral: (for such is the purpose of this PMllipic) Work your system while it ' s good, but when the prof announces, nominations for goat are in order get your proboscis in the literature. 278 We ask the Lady Students of Granville to make our store their Headquarters when in Newark shopping.

This was no false alarm but a real live one who was city-broke and did not shy at the street cars. Having gum- shoed past the Registrar and duly horned the treasurer out of divers and sundry iron simoleons he acquired a book or two and hotfooted after the ever-elusive education. liere at last the faculty found was a real paragon who always anted in his share of information when the gong sounded, who assimilated text books readily and who loved (31ym instead of gently suggesting that the department might go jump in the lake. This vent on for a spell but finally he got hip to the fact that there was a Feminary parasiting on the institution and straightway- set out to seek for him- self a fireside companion. Indeed, he became so devoted and trustworthy that the fair Gazelle in question said to herself thusly, Yea, I have him well hooked and it ' s a pipe I ' ll get in on all the big doings. Therefore, she took a blue pencil and put rings around all the dates on her calendar when things social were scheduled to occur, thus signifying to various other dames that the aforementioned youth was personal property. This happy state continued on through the months even unto the first of February. He was always Ready Roger for lectures, parties, dinners and other occasions at which the elite are wont to be among those present. In fact, she even held open some dates for him but he little dreamed that they were the ones for which she was morally certain he would be sole applicant. This interesting news item she however carefully cherished in the inmost recesses of her intellect for she was no feeble wit — and 1)esides. such procedure is good dope and should be commended. At last he bethought him, ' Tis but one page on the calendar until the Washington Banquet and it beliooves me to request the pleasure of her company to that famed function. At that he indited a one-center and dispatched it thither. After a bit had elapsed the following answer arrived in his pew at the postoffice. Dear Wilfred: I ' m terribly sorry I can ' t go to the Banquet with you but Leander Lowbrow asked me a year ago Tuesday. Penelope.

DUERR For The CHOICEST o£ Anji . . . . llanta Greenhouses PHONE, 26 Granville, Ohio Class Room Conversation, No. 2 Dean ' s recitation room, Burton Hall. Time, 8:40 any morning in the week. The bell rings and we find Misses Porter, Hunt, Hoyt, Pifield and Davis in their seats, each supplied with a note book and an expectant expression. Enter, the Dean carrying a peanut, a fire-cracker, a bale of hay and a scuttle of coal. Roll call is started only to be interrupted by the advent of sundry members of Prof. Goodell ' s civics class who have run all the way down the hill in order to be on hand for the whole show. Slight disturbance here while Harry Thurston and George Upson climb over the chairs to the back row. The desks are cleared for action and the firing starts. Alta, read us your resume of yesterday ' s lesson. Alta makes it short and snappy and after a few more attempts by other members of the class the lecture proper begins. Young ladies and gentlemen — boys and girls — children. I have here a peanut ! See the peanut. Examine it closely. Listen. The little peanut has a history. It grew and attained its maturity under the cold, dank, dark earth, it had none of the advantages of blue sky and white clouds and grew to its full size in a terrible and appalling lonesomeness. Now — what has that to do with Greek architecture? Claire, Nellie, Ruby, Nina, Alice, Mr. Elvin, ] Ir. Duerr, Sadie, Leila, Helen, Harriet — why, what ' s the matter? Can ' t you guess? Stop! You ' re sleepy; wake up and hear the birds sing! Greek architecture like that little peanut grew up and came to its perfection all alone — a thing apart. Greek architecture, like the peanut, has a kernel. Now, wasn ' t that easy? ' ' I have here a bale of hay — observe I Attend ! A bale of hay. Notice its contour and composition. Now what connection can that have with Ameri- can architecture? Who wants to talk? What, No one! Well, I ' ll tell you. American architecture is related to the bale of hay because of the principle of the truss. The truss is a number of small parts bound together, and now the wonder fill part, the bale of hay is made up of thousands of little grasses bound together. Do you see? I don ' t pour it dow n you, that ' s teaching by comparison. Again, here I have a fii-e-cracker. See! I light it (fire-cracker ex- plodes). Why does the fire-cracker explode? On account of combustion in its innermost recesses. What has that to do with our old friend Napoleon Bonaparte? Answer, — nothing. You see, I caught you unawares. But what possible connection can our fire-cracker have with the history of architecture? Isn ' t that a beautiful question — bea-uti-ful? Mr. Thurston, Mr. Upson, Mr. Waybright, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Frizelle? Let me try the ladies — Constance, Kath- 284 erine, Laura? Why Avhat ' s the matter? You ' re only warm. Attend. Every- thing occurs as a result of an impulse to express something. The fire-cracker nas something to express so it explodes, the match is the impulse. Just so in tirchitectiire. The people had something to express, the result is the Wells Fargo. The AVells Fargo had to have some place for a home — result, a building and a building is architecture. You establish the connection, don ' t you? After all, your opinion, one way or the other, doesn ' t count, it ' s the truth that counts. Simple and easy now, wasn ' t it ? I tell you the theory is beautiful. Once more, here I have a scuttle of coal. Now, why do I show you this in an architecture course? It is like the Roman architecture because the Romans thought only of utility with beauty and decoration as secondary con- siderations. Thus the dirty old coal represents utility but it has in it the potentialities of decoration. For tomorrow we ' ll have an examination, for the next day read 300 pages in the books posted on the bulletin board and the day after that your note books are due. That ' s all for today.

When you come to school, come in person and get here on time. School opens on a definite date and if no one shows i;p there mil be no poor tool for the Delinquent Committee to jump on and the institution will go to pot. Article 2. Before 3 ou decide to enter write for a date for the Washing- ton Banquet, if you ' re not on the job early some one will beat you to it. You needn ' t necessarily know the girl. The vital point is to ask someone at least six months before the banquet. Next year we expect to make special arrange- ments in this department and all those who apply to the President of Student Grovernment during the preceding June will be given a list of prospective girl students from which to choose. This will do away with the necessity of waiting until school opens in order to be assured of a lady for the Banquet. Article 3. In registering always pick a cinch course, that ' s what they ' re made for. Don ' t consider the fact that you are paying for it or that the folks at home expect things of you. They don ' t understand. E. H. HAMMOND. L-IN ERV AND F EED. UftDY-BROKB HORSES. GBINTUBMCM ' S DRIVERS. matcb teams and fine Carriages. AT YOUR SERVICE DAY AND NIGHT. PHONE No. 6. PROSPECT STRE ET. GRANVILLE, OHIO. Article 4. When the Delinquent notices come owt wait a week or two before answering the summons. They ' re just sent for fun and the longer you delay the bigger the joke is. Article 5. If you want to be charitable subscribe for the Denisonian. Of course, it isn ' t necessary. The thing is run by a couple of fellows simply for the fun they get out of it. Don ' t let the fact that this is your Alma Mater and that the Denisonian is the college paper influence you — that ' s sentimental and besides the Denisonian will cost you a dollar and a quarter. Article 6. Get in good with all your Professors and make them your close friends. Always wear a sweater in Gil ' s class for he prefers them to all articles of masculine attire. You might also tell him that you greatly admire Dick — that will help you considerably. Artice 7. As soon as you arrive, pick an affinity and then take her to everything — the ladies expect this and woe to him who does not come u.p to the expectation for he shall never be invited to the Sem for dinner, and that is some honor. Article 8. Finally, go to classes now and then — it relieves the tedium and besides there ' s nothing much else to do between 7 :40 and 3 :30. Article 9.

GARLAND STOVES AIND RANGES. HARDWARE, STOVES, TINWARE. BROADWAY, - - - GRANVILLE, O. A New Wrinkle THE Aflytvim has the pleasure of being the first to pass on to its readers throu.o ' li these columns the news of an entirely new student organization. True to Denison ' s policy along educational lines this organization is open to both the students of Shepardson and Granville Colleges. The formation of this club has been uppermost in the minds of certain students for some time. In fact, in previous years attempts at organization have been made with more or less successful results. This year, however, there have been so many that have felt the need of an association of .just this sort that after a great number of meetings, long walks and careful discussion agreements have been reached and, instead of a fond and cherished dream, the new club is now a wonderful and awe-inspiring reality. The foremost object of the organization, in fact, its basic principle is to correct the abuses of the elective system as practiced in our American Universi- ties. It frowns on the wide range of subjects offered in other schools but in Denison in particular; this, however, does not mean that the student should be coerced but that he or she should choose one subject and then devote every spare moment to that one to the exclusion of all others. Tour writer is almost confident that the organization in Denison has avowed the determination to completely wreck the elective system. It has no sympathy for the aforesaid elective system in any form and regards even the group system as only a pernicious means to an equally pernicious end. In conclusion, it might be said that the organization believes in specializa- tion in its highest form and will strive to bring such a result to all that desire to enroll in its ranks.

' the keyboard of the past zcill come Peifcction — Liszt. After c -cles of change the piano conquers the world — Going- back no further than Queen Eli -aheth ' s spinet, it has taken four hundred }-ears to develop, out of the limited mandolin-like instru- ments which Mozart and Scarlatti, Bach and Beethoven played, tiiat mine of musical resource. Here — at one ' s ten fingers — is all the piano has known, all the masters have dreamed. Instead of the plaintive hebung (the melancholy vibration of the plucked claviers, loved of old composers) the modern Baldwin reveals an emotional content of unimagined beauty. Instead of the colorless glitter of the harpsichord — iininediatc pre- cursor of the piano— a tone of a million hues and limitless range. In technical mastery, in the possibility for shades upon shades of expression, and in e.rtent, the tone of the Baldwin typifies a climax to all piano-building that will remain memorable in the liistory of music. The Baldwin Piano may be heard anywhere in the United States. We would be pleased to have you see and hear the Baldwin I ' iano at our store. ® eial5iiiin Company 142 W. FOURTH STREET, CINCINNATI, O.
