4 , THE CHAWPLIN PR±5S COLUMBUS, OHIO HENRY A. SHERWIN So A tvtts fvimh of ipniann r a jfrtfullg ipJiirat? ti}xs hook Henry Alden Sherwin Among the men who have achieved conspicuous distinction in the commercial, financial and industrial world, a foremost place must be given to Mr. Henry A. Sherwin, one of Ohio ' s most successful business men and one of the prominent manufac- turers of the world. Mr. Sherwin was born September 27, 1842, in a remote village of the Green Mountain State, at Baltimore, Vt. His parents were representatives of the Old New England Families of Puritan ancestry — thrifty, frugal and of high moral character. The atmosphere of his early boyhood ' s days was the kind in which self-reliance, steadiness of purpose and sterling character grow. He was an only child and was compelled to develop his growing life in the companionship of his parents, more than of playmates. Reverence for holy things, the constant faith in a Heaven- ly Father, the sacredness of the Word of God as daily taught by father and mother, laid the foundation of that moral earn- estness which has ennobled all the after years. His secular education, preparatory to his life work, was limited to the ad- vantages of the neighborhood school, which he attended until he was fifteen years of age, when the school books were laid aside and his business career began. His first position was that of errand-boy and clerk m a gen- eral store and from the beginning his service was character- ized by a persistency and an energy which clearly expressed his determination to get on. In 1 860 he came to Ohio and for a time was employed as a clerk in a drygoods store at a meager salary. His careful ob- servance of detail brought him rapid promotion and he soon be- came head-bookkeeper. He left this position and became an associate in a wholesale grocery concern. Failing, however, to find this business wholly congenial, in 1866 he engaged in the sale of paints, colors and varnishes. Here he found his oppor- tunity. The business rapidly grew. In 1870 he formed a partnership with Mr. E. P. Williams and plans were developed for manufacturing. From this time forward, the advance and widening of the interests were constant until the firm name of Sherwin-Williams Co. is known the world around. Mr. Sherwin has from the beginning been a careful student of minutest details. He has had an abiding faith that truth and honesty were a business man ' s most valuable asset. He laid down as a foundation policy that only the best products that could be made should leave his establishment. His idea of high quality has been persistently maintained throughout the years. Upon this he has builded his splendid successes. 4 Mr. Sherwin is a man of broad fellow-feeling. The health, morals and education of all who are employed in the qreat works, are g ' ven the most careful consideration. Two floors of one building are devoted exclusively to lunch rooms and kitchen, where a carefully selected bill of fare is served at cost. Rest rooms for girls and employees are comfortably furnished. Provision is made for a sick and death benefit society, member- ship in which comprises almost the entire corps of employees. Club rooms, recreation facilities, reading rooms, game rooms and a circulating library are generously equipped. The thought- fulness applied to every detail which can effect comfort, sanita- tion and efficiency have made the works of the Sherwin-Wil- liams Co. one of the models of the manufacturing world. In civic affairs Mr. Sherwin realizes that no man lives to himself alone, nor can he shirk a fair share of responsibility, al- though he himself exceeds this, in that he constantly demon- strates to the community the advantage as well as the pleasure of realizing the best. So emphatically is this a very part of his nature that wherever he goes and in whatever he engages, imme- diately improvements begin. In addition to his own business, he has for years been an portant advisor in the financial interests of his city, holding of- ficial positions in the Cleveland Trust Co., Society for Savings, and First National Bank. He is enthusiastically interested in the business possibilties of his city and is intimately related to the leading commercial forces, — The Chamber of Commerce and the Union Club. He is a lover of life in the out of doors. In his earlier years he was an expert angler and a member of one of the most noted fishing clubs. In these later years he takes great delight in his model farm — Windom. He is a lover of books as well. He has become a man of wide general culture and his library contains some rare and val- uable collections. The religious life of Mr. Sherwin has been persistent and profound, from his early years. For almost a half century he has been an active member of the First Baptist Church of Cleve- land and one of its generous supporters. His beneficence is cheerfully extended to the needs of the city, to his country and the wider world. He has been for years officially indentified with the work of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and our own Denison University. Among his fellows in the business world, no man sustains a higher reputation for integrity and ability. Kindly and ap- proachable, he impresses one with his genuine sincerity; quiet and courteous in manner, yet he is positive and loyal to his high ideals of right; democratic and generous, valuing men by the aristocracy of worth rather than of birth ; through all his pos- sessions and successes, he demonstrates a splendid type of suc- cessful American christian manhood. 5 THE HILL TODAY 6 OUR PREX The Adytum 1912 CONTENTS dication Classes Athletics Literary Organizations Reli gious Organizations Musical Organizations Miscellaneous Organizations The Greeks Honorary Fraternities Calendar Ven-Li Advertisements 8 Foreword Again as the year of Nineteen Eleven and Twelve draws to its close, the Junior Class offers to the students, to the faculty, and to the alumni of the University the book that tradition makes it their peculiar task and privilege to shape and so to pre- sent. We, the members of the Adytum board, have devoted at least a measure of time and of care to the preparation of this volume. Whether the merit that it may have shall counterbalance its faults, we willingly leave to the estimate of the critical reader. Only, if to the graduate it serves to bring some shadow of recollection of Denison; to the Seniors of this year as they go away from us a viv- ider remembrance of the class joys and class friend- ships that have been theirs; if to those whose turn to go comes a little while later, and to the teachers who have made The Hill a place of profit and pleasure to all of us, if to these and to everyone it may show, in part, the very true feeling that is ours for Denison — then we think that our efforts have not been vain. So, we commend this, the Nineteenth volume of the Adytum , to its college public — may it be judged by its deserts. The Adytum B oara. Literary Committee George F. Finnic, Chairman Edith M.

The day that we saw for the first time this beautiful little village and our noble college hill with its stately and dignified buildings, we realized that we had been sent here by some invis- ible power to keep the standard of the school, moral, physical, and intellectual, up to that which it had been m preceding years. As we look back upon these four long, yet short years, we feel that, altho many difficult, uninteresting and decidedly unpleasant things have confronted us, we have been undaunted and have conquered all and now are about to finish with flying colors. 14 As to the stunts of this exceptional class: they are not to be surpassed. As Freshmen we accomplished all that could be ex- pected of us in that we literally annihilated the class which we followed, in the class scrap. Then the social functions of that first year — where are the society leaders of New York, Paris, Chicago, I might say, anywhere on the globe that could hold a candle to any one member of this famous class. There were parties and picnics which could be described at considerable length if there were time and space, to the wonder and amaze- ment of our readers. With the dignity characteristic of Sophomores and with pa- tience and long-suffering we succeeded in coaxing the freshmen to bring down the little flag we had pinned to the pole and then for their pleasure and amusement we pulled them through the gravel-pit. We then gave them the game of football, for they weer getting tired and worn-out with the lessons of the morning. But our second year was not without the social side. The men of the class showed their colors by giving a splendid party for the girls. Society, however, is not the all-important feature. This same year the class basketball championship was ours and five of the Varsity team were Sophomores. Let us speak of our particular intellectual abilities — let me ask this question — What class was it that had the peculiar honor and pleasure of receiving five Phi Beta Kappa keys in the Junior Year? and I think it is well understood that several more, I might say many more, will be given us this year. Why is it that we all look forward with pleasure and expec- tancy to the Junior Banquet and that when it is over we look back upon it with many glad remembrances? The Junior Ban- quet is one of the most important function durmg one ' s whole college course and mdeed ours was no exception to the rule. Where could one hear more dignified or more inspiring speeches than were made by the several members of the class? This noble class has been well represented in all lines of college life. We have been prominent in baseball, basketball, football and track work. We have been honored by having the editor- ship of the Denisonian for two successive years. All these things show just what kind of material and ability there is in a class. For many years past there has been a custom for the Juniors on each Maj -day morning to have a sing on Sugar Loaf before breakfast. It was our peculiar pleasure to add to that custom. We, as all thoughful people should do, took our breakfasts with us and before and after and between courses sang the college songs. The most important feature was, however, that which took place after the regular program. One of the girls who lived in town had brought her books along with her and among them was a Junior English book. We were suddenly seized with a bright idea. It was only right to give this book due honor and praise and the only fitting method wa - to burn it and dedicate its ashes to Prof. Williams and his English course. It was decided that we give Prof. Williams a vacation that day and a committee repaired to his residence to inform him of our intentions. Me was very much delighted, pleased and surprised, especially as he had some gardening to do and the chickens to feed (tacks). As a proper close of the days ' program, the carefully prepared ashes were taken up the hill for burial and the funeral procession was formed in Doane Academy. The ceremony took place near the Bock Exchange and after eloquent speeches by different 15 members of the class the beautiful hand-carved casket was low- ered into the grave during the singing of the funeral hymn writ- ten especially for the occasion. Our senior y ear began quietly, peacefully and with dignity. We have all survived Psychology and Prof. Williams ' English plus senior essays and orations. The pleasure, fear, excitement and pain of our first appearance in caps and gowns is past and we have now but to wait for whatever the remainder of the year may bring forth. And now, my children, may you be spared the stress and sorrow which it has been ours to know, but may you taste, as we have done, of the honey of perfect happiness during your col- lege life. Marjorie Holden. The Parting Our home. ' Tis here. How hard the parting is. Here we have grown. Here we ourselves became. Around thy hearthstone have we studied long With friend and brother here who strangers came. The bell about to strike. It is the hour When out into the world we make our way. The classes done, the courses checked up passed. Now longer tasks steal on us day by day. Fair Denison, our home, our hearts, alive With purest love, shall always turn to thee ; We pledge our faith to all that thou hast taught And shall stand true thro ' all eternity. F. M. D. Oh, Denison, our hearts, aglow for thee. See not the sorrow or the bitter hour. For love builds only in sweet memory And leaves no token save a radiant bower. Beneath the bower? — ah, what matters that? Enough that tears and blood and sweat are there. To make the soil alive and cause to bloom For aye the fairest flower, nor leaf to sear. 16 W.

Ass ' n. ; Franklin Play, ' 09- ' II ; W. B. Com. When I think of Bill ' s t xudiis, the words of the old gypsy when he buried his caravan hoss, come back to me, We ' ll never see his likes again. I can almost feel the temperature go down when I think of Bill ' s smile setting over the horizon of Granville. He possesses an originality that defies imitation, and wdien Bill gets up to speak, you can depend upon him for a good laugh. The trouble is, he is a preacher, and what in the A orld he will do when he has a funeral sermon on his hands, we refrain from predicting. Strength to your elbow, old man. Jennie Grace Tracy, A. B., Philo. Shep, Prep., ' 08; B, B. T., ' 09- ' 1 2 ; Mgr. B. B. T., ' 1 1- ' 12 Pros. Atty. Philo, Fall, 1911. A sage once asked a conundrum, ' ' What would Denison have done if the Eev. Eobert Tracy had not been a Baptist preacher? Despite her handicap of birth, Jennie ' s record has not been colorless. One flaw, however, is percei tible — she shows preference to a particular color. Jennie came to Denison a dear little prep. Now she looks from above her specs in as dignified a manner as the most learned of the Twelvers. Her chosen pro- fession is politics and her friends may all expect io greet her in the White House — if not, in the Brown House. Frederick Milton Derwacter, A. B., A. N. 2., E . B. K., B. Rh., Calliope. Sec ' y Language Ass ' n, ' 09- ' 12; Corr. Sec ' y, Critic, V. Pres., Calliope; Ady. Board; Boosters Club; Press Club; Class Poet; Editor Den- isonian, I I - ' I 2. Dr. Derwacter Avould be a n ornament to any college, but his name has ruined his chances; it takes too long to learn it. When for convenience you call him Freddie, you do him a great injustice. Doctor just seems to fit him. There are not many men who go through Denison with as good a scholastic record as the subject of this biography, and he is just as modest as he can be about it. You might predict a professorship for him, but you err; he expects to preach and some day we expect to hear him. Joseph Hayes Cory, A. A. T., B. K. Sup ' t of Schools, Deer Creek Twp-, Madison Co., O., ' 06- ' 08; Prof, of English, D. A., ' 08. To do any task of life is honorable, to do it well is magnificent. Joe is one of those men who must do a thing well; if he didn ' t he could not sleep at night He won his (p. B. K. key as easily as some of us will lose it, and it did not take his undivided attention either. During intervals he found time to keep house and teach preps., and either job is a task in itself. 18 E. P. LiNNELL, B. A., Franklin Granville High School, ' 07; D. A., ' 08; Treas., Franklin, ' 11 - ' 12 Linnell, why yes. The name is familiar. Yeai ' s ago he used to entertain the Freshman math, class, and almost gave them mental lockjaw when he smeared the blackboard in Gill ' s class. What he has been doing in late years, besides ushering in the Presbyterian church nobody knows, but some of these days the folks out in the little red brick house on the Lancaster Koad will be proud of him. JuANiTA Stevenson Bond, A. B., Philo. Shepardson Preparatory, 1 908. It is always pleasant to have a smile and a kindly word for everyone at any time o ' day. This quality we find in Neita. All through her college days ' ' Neita ' ' has made Latin her strong point. If she should be- come a Latin teacher she will be one of the first rank. In Junior English she was always ready to answer Willie ' s questions. It has been whis- pered that she really enjoyed all the deep and profound sayings of that wonderful class-room sphinx, F. Leslie Fleener, A. B., Calliope. Ass ' t. Geol., ' I0- ' 12; Treas., Calliope, ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Pres., Geol. Society, ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Sycamore Club. It would not do to tell where Doc got his degree, but he came by it honestly and that is the main thing. He ' s the only undergrad. Doc m captivity. When we think of Doc we think of Geology, but that is not altogether fair to Doc. If you question that opinion ask Prof. Willie. Once Doc ' s ' ' glaciated anatomy is removed from Granville, things will seem quiet. No more will the College Hill reveberate with his wild resonant yells. Wherever you go, Doc, may your yell never grow less. Willis S. Webb, B. A., B. Rh., Sycamore Club, Franklin Ed. Ady., ' 11; Treas. Geol. Soc. ; Press Club; Chap. Franklin, ' 12; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Pres. Student Volunteers, ' 11 - ' 12; Franklin Play, ' 09 and ' II; Denisonian, ' 1 1- ' 12. There are so many Webbs in school that one has 1o lie careful how he speaks of them. This one is The Webb. If you have seen him acting the villianous part in a heavy east, don ' t judge him by that: in real life he is as tender as a woman ' s tears. He has made good in many ways, and as the Irishman said of his eldest son He has a great future behind him. This year Webb took Biology, and he liked it so vell, that he wants Moore. ' ' 19 Fred E. Wolf, A. B., Franklin, B. ®. n. Secy to Pres., ' 08- ' 12; Glee Club, ' 07- ' 12, Soloist, ' 09- ' 12, Leader, ' 09- ' 10; Pres. Franklin, ' 11; Franklin Play, ' 09 and ' 1 1 ; Pinafore, ' 12; Toaster W. B., ' 12; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Leader Gospel Teams, ' 1 1- ' 12; Lit. Ed. Ady. Fred has a high sweet soprano voice like the Independence Bell. He was chief mogul in Pinafore and boss rajah in Richelieu both of which he ran in accordance with his own ideas. Fred has a combination double-Nel son, hammer-lock on every cinch job and snap course in the University. No wonder, he is preparing for the ministry! Fred will be missed m many circles next year, and up at Prex ' s in particular. Ethel Deming, A. B., J . B. K., Euterpe. Honor Graduate Newark H. S. Maybe it ' s true that man was made to mourn — but that has nothing to do with Ethel. She was made to acquire the antique languages and musty math.— and to talk. Anyway Ethel is a girl. Therefore, being privileged, she has a perfect right to wear that O. S. U. man ' s pin all she wants to. You don ' t care what they say do you, Ethel? And now she has gone and went and done it. They ' ve given her a Kappa Key and every one is scared to death for fear they ' ll never be able to come up to her standard. But ive don ' t care e ither! Enjoy it, and the best of things too, Ethel. Grace E. Miller, A. B., % A. t ., Philo. Pros. Atty. Philo.. ' 10; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 10; Sec ' y Philo., ' 1 0- ' 1 2 ; V.-Pres. Volunteer Band, ' 11- ' 12; Pres. Philo., Spring ' 12. All through her college course ' ' Gracie ' ' has been noted for being up and doing. We understand that she is always very anxious when Mrs. Herrick puts notices on the bulletin board. Although Gracie has been here at school for some time she has not yet gotten used to the steps between King and Stone Hall. This important fact kept her from a whole day ' s activity once upon a time She has been a participant in all the Columbus companies that attended concerts in Memorial Hall. She takes great pleasure in these visits to Coluinbu , since that is the city of her heart ' s desire. A large part of Gracie s life here at Denison has been a howling success. M. H. Shipley, B. S., ! . B. K., Franklin Prep. Work at Pleasantville, O.; Member of Scientific and Chemical Assn. ; Instructor in Physiology. A year ago we all knew Shipley. Then he grew up too fast for us and went away to ' ' Reserve ' ' where we rather lost sight of him. This spring he came back, but the wires got crossed somehow and his picture— which was a very pretty picture— got lost. In spite of this misfortune, when we see him take his diploma this June we ' 11 know him just the same— sure ! Ben C. Forsythe, B. S. Granville H. S., ' 08; Chem. Soc. ; Football, ' 11, ' 12; B aseball, ' 10. ' II, ' 12. Ben is one of Deiiison ' s quiet men. But you must not assume from this that he is easily dispensed with. There will be times next fall when Coach Livy will sigh for Ben ' s huge anatomy to fill up that hole in the line. He has gone quietly through his work without taking or giving offense. Many noisier men have done less for Denison. We miss you, Ben. Robert M. Allbaugh, B. S. Doane Academy, ' 09. Where is Dad Allbaugh? that is what many will ask next year when they find he is gone. The truth of the matter is, there are not many things in Granville much older than Dad is, no discredit to him. Through academy and college he has fought his way, and few of us could have made such a fight, and at the same time fulfilled the duties of husband, father and citizen. Some one asked Dad recently who he was working for. Some people, said he heartily (Dad is always happy). Who ' s that? was the query. Wife and two children, and then a long chuckling laugh. Bright future to you, Dad! David Elmer Woods, B. S. Union City (Fa.) H. S., ' 08; D. A., ' 09; Class Athletics; Business Staff Ady. Board. A man like Woods ought to be compelled to Avrite his own obituary. How is the public to know what he has done, or is capable of doing. Year in and year out he has glued himself to his work, whether in sport or studies. He runs no information bureau or press department, but that ' s nothing against him, only, one would hate to be the woman who aspired to bl ' ush the dust off his coat collar. . _ Cecile Belle Shreve, B. S., k Philo. House Council, ' lO- ' ll; Ady. Board; W. B. Com.; Philo-Euterpe Play, ' 08; V.-Pres., Philo., ' 12. Cece ' ' presides most charmingly at various social functions, and is quite an accomplished society lady. Last year she devoted herself very earnestly to the p)roper study of mankind. As a result Cecile should sometime in the sunshine path of the future be une menagere charmante ' ' for one we know. Meanwhile she is jealously studying Ped., to fit herself as a competent in- structor for her school of one. 22 Paul D. Morrow, B. S., r. a. Vigilance Com.; D. D. D. Com., ' 11; Basketball, ' 10- ' 12, Capt. ' 12; Baseball, ' I0- ' 12, Capt. ' I 1 ; Ch. D Com. Peedy is a native of this region roundabout and is one of a family quite athletically inclined. During his illustrious career at Denison he has modestly piled up an envious collection of D. ' s. Our subject is said to be partial to co-education, nevertheless, there is no strong circumstantial evidence of the fact as he is still painfully heartwhole and fancy-free. Peedy expects to become an M. D. which fact speaks Avell for the Coghill Corpuscle Course. Karl William Frasch, B. S., X X., B. K. Vigilance Com.; Mandolin Club; Ady. Board; Chm. Junior B. and W. B. Com.; Booster ' s Club; D. D. D. Com. ' 12. ' ihis blue-eyed Dutchman comes from a little jerkwater German settlement down the T. O. C, a few miles. We refer to Bremen, America. He wears the (f B. K. key, a sign that he intends to unlock success by means other than the new fangled combination. Dutch is an ardent lover and his heart Avas captured long ago. RUSSEL Ezra Kimmel, B. S., B. ®. n.. Franklin. Steele High, ' 08; College Orchestra, ' 08- ' 1 2 ; Fresh. B. B. ; Musical Club, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ' 08- ' 09. Trusty is a hard working student. .Just to prove it, in the last half of his Senior year he took nine hours college work, a full four hours more than the regular allowance. He has developed into quite a ' ' f usser ' ' in his last year, and is thus forced to wear a derby most of the time. He has all the weight of a football man, but has never been able to take time from his studies to develop in that direction. Julia S. Moore, B. S., c . B. K., Philo. Asst. Zoology, ' 09- ' 12; Y. W. C. A., Cabinet, ' 09- ' 12, Pres. ' 11 - ' 12; Stud. Govt. ' 11- ' I2; Secy. Sc. Assn. ' 1 0- ' 1 2 ; Assoc. Ed. Ady., Assoc. Ed. Denisonian, ' I 1- ' 12. Well, now, it ' s this way. Julia ' s specialty is brains. She knows them from the Rami communicantes to the Tractus olfactohypothala- micus. She has brains, she dissects brains, she mamifactures brains. For the latter attainment, should she so choose, she could have a flourishing trade in the profession of filling empty cranial cavities. But Julia has other accom- plishments. She can dress a doll, catch a car, fall off a chair, skin a cat, and even weave a ' ' Webb. ' ' With this variety we hope to hear of a brilliant career. 23 LOUYS A. RUMSEY, B. S., A. N. 2., Calliope. Strvker H. S., ' 08; Musical Club; Mandolin Club, Mgr., ' 1 1- ' 12; Mgr. Football. ' 1 1- ' I2. If to have a nickname is to be known of men, then Eiimsey ' s fame is secure with us. Not only has he one such handle, but his good fairy, as if foreseeing how great was going to be her protege ' s modesty, let him have two. So he answers to either Lou or to the less euphonious call of Butch. The latter comes from the Football team, and they say Hewins is to blame. Where ' ' Lou ' ' comes from they are all French, and he can rattle you off a staec-atto Saperlotte ! as well as any Gascon born. With the rest of 1912 we wish him Bon Voyage. Robert M. McCann, B. S.

Like all other homely jjeople, Bob takes a good jiicture, so be not deceived. He has shone in athletics, but has been more ambitious along social lines. His career at the Sem., we are sorry to say, has been a series of misappre- hensions over which he had no control and in which he himself played a minor part. He never says anything stronger than By Gee, and being both sub- missive and devoted we recommend him for consideration to any of the fair sex. Stewart W. McClelland, B. S., k. 2., Franklin. Vigilance Com.; V. Pres., ' 09- ' 1 0, Pres., ' 1I- ' 12 of Chem. Soc. ; Boosters ' Club ; W. B. Com. ; Asst. Chem. Dept. Here is a field for psychological research. The bundle of contiieting emotions wrapped up in this six feet of protoplasm is astonishing. When he came to school he seemed no more than a mere boy. Now he is a man — and that ' s no lie either. Many men go thro school and have no earthly idea what they are going to do with themselves. ' ' Mae ' ' is not one of these. He decided two very important things while here. First, that he would preach. Second, that he would always be sure of at least one in the congre- gation. May you never displease your audience, Mac. Edith Anna Longbon, B. Ph. Philo. Baldwm U.; Glee Club, ' 09- ' 12; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, •n- ' 12; Pres. Stud. Govt., ' 1 1 - ' 1 2. Sh ! Sh ! Sh ! Here conies Prexy. She is leading a strenuous life this year, endeavoring to protect her lambs from the contaminating influence of the stronger sex, and to instil in them due regard for the decrees of Stewed Gov., ' ' which like the eternal axioms, cannot be gainsaid. Her sense of awful responsibility has graven the lines of care on her mournful brow. Truly, ' ' Honours are great burthens. ' ' Clifford S. Stillwell, B. S., B. ©. n.. Franklin.

Like Caruso, Cliff ' s fortune lies in his voice, but unlike Caruso, Cliff ' s talent has a very wide range as may be seen by his performance in cheap vaudeville (Denison D. D. D.) as well as in Grand Opera (Denison Glee Club.) Lovers of music w ' ere dismayed when they heard that he had been elected Varsity Cheer Leader, but they have since recovered in a measure. Cliff recently took an extended tour over the country with his famous company and upon his return, strange to relate, the students found that the manager was still-well. Raymond Bradley Stevens, B.

Hard to study, hard to convince, and sometimes hard to find, but then he is a busy man. ' Sakes alive, have .you ever heard him debate, well he is hard to beat. He has a good record in debating, but a condition in Domestic Science mars an otherwise spjotless record. Ah, Steve, the way of transgressors is hard. We bate to see you go, but joy be with you. Ivan Ray Tannehill, B. S., A. N. S., Calliope. Press Club; Asst. Biol., ' 11; Junior Toaster W. B., ' 1 1 ; W. B. Com.; D. D. D. Com., ' 12; Ch. Lect. Course Com., ' 12; Pres. Calliope, ' 11; Pres.

Four years of college life have opened up so many avenues for his genius that he might wake up any morning and find himself Vice Presidential candidate on the Eepublican ticket, contributing editor of the Philistine, or Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of St. James. The fact is that he could hold down any two of these jobs, and still find time to run the Lecture Course and meet weekly with the Press Club. . . . Farewell Ivan, Denison ' s literary rushlight will burn dimmer when you are once gone. Stafford Riddle Webb, B. S., B. Rh., Franklin, Sycamore Club.

To live is a privilege we ought all to be proud of: to live in hope is a greater privilege. Miler Webb is one of Denison ' s young hopefuls. His life is full of hopes. And why should it not be? He is both young and fair, and the world lies before him. We all hope that it will not lie to him. John Alvin Thompson, B. S., 2. X. Quaker City H. S., ' 05; Football Team, ' 06; ' 09- ' 1 1, Taught school in Minn, two years; Engineering Society. Old War Horse has been with us of£ and on for the last decade and the hill will probably lose its balance when this 200-pounds of avoirdupois is removed. .John is a slippery article, at least all the ' ' book larnin ' ' runs off and isn ' t absorbed, and no other theory explains it. He is going to teach and heaven help the pupil if the rod is not spared. Dexter Junkins Tight, B. S., b. K., B. Rh., Franklin. Doane Academy, ' 08; Class Athletics; Cross Country Team, ' 10; Ch. . Junior Prom. Com.; W. B. Com.; Asst. Physics Dept., ' lO- ' l 1- ' 12. When it comes to telling you how a thing ought to be done, Dee. is right on the job, and the worst of it is that he is usually right. Physics is his speeialtj , and what he doesn ' t know about shocking machines isn ' t to be had in this vicinity. Well known as the charter member of the Motorcycle Club (Membership One,) Dee. can get rid of books faster than any man in college, and the old maids and school-teachers that have fallen for one of his highly valued volumes are numbered by the score. In ten years he will endow the University with a new library. Charles Blount Vance, B. S., Frankhn. Franklin Play, ' 08- ' 10; Treas. Franklin Sec. Semes. Junior Year, Class Basketball Team. Charlie is another of those fellows who are hard to place. Not that he lacks talent or sociability, by any means O, no ! He has both, only he lives in blissful ignorance of it. Charlie has his ambitions too, and you are often fooled if you judge them by the house they live in, unless by the inverse pro- portion rule. Blessings on you, little man. 26 Charles F . Davis, B. S., i . B. K., Franklin. Supt. of Schools of Mt. Gilead four years; Barney Debating Team. For downright honest work there are not many to equal Davis. To him school is a workshop which opens its doors at daylight and closes them — how for shall we say? — after day has gone. — He is a pronounced conservative, except in the one particular of co-education. Here he is a downright extremist. But never mind, we like his kind of Benedict and may there be more like him when he is away. ' ' Joseph H. Boutwell, B. S., K. %, Franklin. U. of Wis., ' 08- ' 09; Class C. C. T., ' 09; Track Team, ' ]]- ' 2; Glee Club. ' 09- ' 1 2. Joe belongs to that peculiar group of people who under Dr. Coghill ' s tutelage peek thro microscopes and chloroform cats. Whether his strong affec- tion for this department depends upon the nature of the work or upon the kindly associations of the laboratory is hard to find out. Joe is training himself to cut up little brown men in distant lands. In the meantime he practices on frogs and ' possums. Scott W. Camp, B. S., k. Class Basketball Capt., ' 10- ' I I ; Junior Banquet Com.; Adytum Board; Ass ' t Zool. This is Scottie, and he inhabits the D. B. E. His appearance as he sits behind the glass case there with a stick of ' ' Eat-Mors, ' ' wherewith to entice the innocent prep, is truly impressive. And he has such an air in re- fusing credit. We have all (pretty nearly) been terrified by it — all except the Library Staff, whose credit is ahvays good. Yet the peanuts he and Joe sell in the pasteboard boxes — the diminutive package, the magnificent price, you know — threaten to run Casey out of business. We ' d almost rather have Scottie ' ' graft off of us than anybody else on the camjjus. This is because we know he isn ' t honest. O Scott, may ' st thou graft forever. Tracy M. Patrick, B. S., K. B. Rh., Calliope. We think the saddest words of tongue or pen are these, I might have been an honest man. Trace is another horrible example. And how the Kappa Sigs do pile ' em up. It onlj lacks now that they assume the trrditional three balls! Tracy has another diverting trait. He is supposed to put away the cards, or something, in the library. Now everybody knows that the Dean doesn ' t permit the boys and girls to study together in the library, especially in the alcoves. But is there any rule to prevent an assistant from instructing a benighted Semmite in the mysteries of the Dewey System? Lord, No! Harriett Newell Britton, Ph. B., Philo. Chicago U.; Class B. B. Team, ' 10- ' 12; Secy. Philo, ' 07; Secy, to Prof. Clark Chamberlain and Dr. Herrick, ' 06- ' 08; Secy, to Dean of Wo- men. Harriett grew weary of her Alma Mater some three years ago and sought fresh fields and pastures new. Now she has returned to the fold, and has joined the ranks of the present Senior Class. Harriett is tall, stately, and dignified. As Official chaperon, she has a subduing effect even upon the irrepressible Phi Gams. In the years that are flowing toward us Harriett will probably become Dean of some college for women, and bring up it ' s inmates in that ' fear of constituted authority that is so especially emphasized at the foot of the hill. Wm. Evin Huffman, Ph. B., A. N. 2., B. Rh., Calliope. Asst. in Physics, ' 08- ' 12; Critic Calliope, Ml; Pres., ' 12; Bus. Mgr. Ady., ' II; Bus. Mgr. Denisonian, ' 12. Some men are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them. Whether you believe it or no, Bill does belong to the latter class. For all of that Bill is a necessary asset in more than one college department. Fame has heaped honors upon his head by the cupful, by the bushel basket full, by the steam-shovel full, and still he is as modest as a blushing Boxwell graduate. But no wonder — look whom he is working for. May you get there, Bill. Marietta Ball, Ph. B., Philo. Akron, N. Y. H. S., ' 07; Mgr. B. B. Team, ' 10- ' 12; CapL B. B. Team, ' 1 I - ' 1 2 ; Honors in English. ' ' Teddy ' ' came to us from New York state. Prom the very beginning of her college days all have learned to make way for her when she was a-schem- ing (!) When Teddy is not busy she is taking naps. Two very startling events have happened in ' ' Teddy ' s ' ' college days. The first is that once while she was practicing Domestic Economy in her room she lost her diamond ring in a glass of jelly. The second was that altho she was a Senior, Teddy forgot how to send her trunks to Ohio last fall and as a result was compelled to do all early official stunts in borrowed garb. Katherine Courtney, Ph. B., . B. K., Euterpe. Northern 111. Normal School; Critic Euterpe, Fall ' 10; Denisonian Staff, ' I I - ' 1 2 ; Shep. Glee Club ; Secy, to the Dean of Women. We all felt full of vim and vigor until Katrina of the West came here. Then we saw w hat real energy is — Katrina is like a watch, she keeps on running. Katrina stands by our Dean and deals out permissions that are a joy to our hearts — sometimes. But however that may be, it is always Laugh ' and Katrina laughs with you. One of the hardest of hard things is to say Nay to a request of her ' s, for Katrina will bring out her well known Dearie, and Yes, you can, you must, and in a minute we are submissive to her will. May it be always thus! 29 Edna Edwards, Ph. B., X. A., Euterpe. B. B. Team, ' 09; Glee Club; Secy. Class, ' lO- ' ll ; Y. W. C. A. Cab., ' II - ' 12; V.

Edna is evidently imbued with the idea that ' ' the proper study of man- kind is man : and she is devoting herself assiduously to this abstruse branch of science. The jjartieular object of her research work is also a member of the present Senior Class, and their beaming countenances are familiar land- marks of the institution. Edna is so delighted with her course of study that she is in a perpetual state of giggles, which, semi-occasionally, burst forth in, harmless explosion. ' Eest thee, fair damsel! Donald Newton Jewett, Ph. B., r. A., Calliope. Chm. Soph. Social Com. ; Junior B. Com. ; Ady. Board. Y. M. C. A. Handbook Com., ' I 1. Twee ' ' — so dubbed by a delightful mirth provoking episode — hails from Aberdeen, S. D., and hasn ' t set eyes upon that village for a quintet of years. He IS nomadically inclined and cavorts over the nation wherever whim and fancy dictate. He has qualified for a globe trotter while in school by assimilating every offering of our language ilepartment and he is lustily crying for more. Twee ' is somewhat small in stature, hence, has gracefully wiggled out .of his career of college deviltry without yet being apprehended. Evangeline Davies, Ph. B., Philo. Granville H. S., ' 06; Geol. Soc. ; Taught in Public Schools, ' 09- ' 10. Virgie ' ' is indeed a girl after Prof. Willie ' s own heart. She comes from that ' ' stur-r-dy ima-ag-inative race that ' s really worth something. As her ancestors in the hills of Wales bravely struggled with the ' English, ' just so has Evangeline in the hills of Licking, but unlike Llewellyn, she has not succumbed, but has razed all barriers and at last conquered the great Crawshaw himself. ' ' Those Welsh are a g-r-e-a-t p-e-o-p-l-e. ' ' Ada Ellis, Ph. B., 2- A. Euterpe. Capt. B. B. Team, ' 09- ' 10; Treas. Euterpe, ' 10; Class Tennis Cham- pion, ' I I ; V. Pres. Y. W. C. A., ' I I - ' 1 2 ; Secy, of Class, ' I I- ' I2; Pres. Stud. Govt. Fall, ' II. To our most well regulated gathering of learners fore gathered a Miss Ellis of the West who had come with the intention of roaming over our campus. For two whole years this went on until Ada simply left. But we had no fear but that she would return to us for we knew that she would find much more eoziness here than elsewhere. She returned, and returned to wander no more. ' Mildred Alice Hawke, Ph. B., Philo. St. Louisville H. S., ' 06; Shep. Prep., ' 08. For many j ' ears Denison has been noted for having the largest college menagerie in the state. The Hawke, however, has now digested all the crumbs of knowledge thrown at her by the Profs, and will be let loose in June. Dur- ing her caged existence she has not only been tamed but trained. She now goes out to join her brother and sister Hawkes in the profession of animal trainers. May she soar to heights unknoAvn. Warren D. Miller, Ph. B., K. X, Frankhn. Pres.

When you think of Dusty Miller, you think of a phase of college life which few other men represent. If he does not trail a list of scholastic honors after his name, he compensates for that by a host of warm friends. If his ath- letic achievements have not all been gilt edged, he has balanced that by an unselfishness to school enterprises that have won him a place in the hearts of all Denisonians. Su ccess to you ' ' Dusty, ' ' may your warm heart ever keep you from being Muddy. Agnes Bertha Ewart, Ph. B., Euterpe. . . Shep. Prep., ' 07, Abbot Academy, Andover, Mass. ■ Bertha, as her photcjgraph indicates, is somewhat disinclined toward slenderness. She is in a constant state of ebullition over some thrilling piece of information. Whenever a Sem-ite becomes aware ' of a heavy tread behind her, and hears a breathless voice exclaim, ' ' Oh, say, did you hear? she knows immediately that Bertha is approaching. Bertha is an expert swimmer, being especially skilled in diving, and when she makes her descent it behooves all bystanders to flee unless they are longing for an impromptu shower-bath.

Why, law Pete! here is Midge. Midge is rather a diminutive lassie, but athletically inclined. Basketball is her specialty; she always makes a hit, especially when she tries - to demolish the gymnasium by hurl- ing herself against it. Midge has had some distasteful experiences with balky horses, etc., in the Gjtti, but she staunchly proclaims her earnest in- tention of becoming a Physical Director. ' ' You better hadn ' t ' Midge. ' ' ' 31 Ruth Mather, Ph. B., Philo. Pros. Atty., Rec. Secy., Philo; Ady. Board; Treas. Y. W. C. A., ' 1 l- ' 1 2 ; Bus. Mgr. Senior Girls Play. Euthie is the sister of the famous Cotton ' ' Mather. Although she was very quiet at first she has proved to all that laughing is the best part of college life. There have been some events in the college life of this person that vvill come as a blow to all. Now ' ' Ruthie ' ' has a large vocabulary and a well trained one too, but what a shock it was when the dreadful term of oh, shoot Tias found to be among the learned words. Now we really believe that ' ' Euthie ' ' never uses this phrase except when her shoe strings break or when she is awakened from midnight slumbers by serenades. Any- how, swearing is always, a naughty trick, and we wouldn ' t like Euthie to learn. Claude S. Morton, Ph. B., 2. X. Pillsbury Academy, U. of Minnesota, ' 08- ' 10; Vigilence Com. Mr. Morton was an underclassman at the University of Minnesota, but after two years there, the promising bud was transplanted or transplanted itself to the more refined environment of a denominational school. By trade he is a brick layer, and he will go back to his native land to dry bricks in the Minnesota sun, at the same time imparting to the natives what he has learned. At any rate, here ' s hoping, Claudie ! Helen Joan Hultman, Ph. B., B. K., Philo. Philo-Euterpe Contest, ' 11; Pres. Philo, Ml; Secy, of Class, ' 12; Stage Mgr. Senior Girls Play; Secy. Dayton Club, ' 1 1- ' 12. In the course of its history Dayton has contributed various prodigies to Denison ' s ranks. With the ' ' Twelvers ' ' she has indeed been lavish. But none have so startled Profs., college and town as the one who in the course of her intellectual pursuits could mount the ladder of scholastic attainment to the top rung, not stop there, but pursue her ascent on — on, — two steps into space, then, don the wings of excellency and dwell in the heights of Professor ' s approval — Helen got an A double plus. Bertha McCrary, Ph. B., Philo. Granville H. S. ; Ady. Board. Bertha, who was always very prompt at classes and the first to be found in the classroom had a very serious mishap one day when going to pedagogy. She started out for the seven-forty class and got there at seven-thirty-nine. Much to her regret she was forced to spend many precious college hours in Junior English and Gym. The title of fusser has been given to Bertha, but we are sure this is a very serious mistake. We are however, afraid that Bertha will go from college days to days of domestic science. 32 Beatrice Elizabeth O ' Neal, Ph. B., Philo. Chap. Philo, ' 09; Corr. Secy. Philo, ' 12; Secy. Y. W. C. A., ' 11 - ' 12. ' ' Bee ' ' knows a bargain when she ses it. But there is one eoimter especially attractive to her. Each morning she visits the bargain counter of smiles, and purchases a supply that lasts until 9:45 P. M. She has become so much interested in Pedagogy that she practices it on the furniture of her room. Success has been hers. Even the bed kneels to her. Max BralleY NorpELL, Ph. B., $. r. A., P. B. K., Calliope. Denisonian Staff, ' 09- ' 10; Press Club; Pres. Senior Class. After all it is brains that count. Any fool can go to college (provided someone pays the damage), and while there it is easy to attend classes, make a scrap book out of delinquent slips, fall in love with some pretty girl (usually a bright one, too ), and finally graduate at the request of the faculty. But to have a head like a condensed encyclopedia and Webster _ dictionary combined is not the fortune of many men. That is the kind of cranium Max has. There is the making of a great corporation law yer in this fellow if ho were not so honest. Mabel Moore, Ph. B., Euterpe. Honor Graduate Granville H. S. Mable is a noble girl — She was born in Noble County, . ' . . , From the hills of South Ohio ' . . . . . She received an ample bounty. Smart folks come from southern hills. Smart folks, keen folks, sages, seers, Mabel, sure, has proved this true — She ' s gone thru in iust three years. Edith Margaret Philbrook, Ph. B., Euterpe. Chap., ' 09, V.

Edith has a biological turn of mind, and takes keen delight in remov- ing the epidermis from felines who have departed this vale of tears by the chloroform route. She is also a fluent orator, and does effective work in separating poor, oppressed students from their filthy lucre, on sundry pretexts. Edith would make a valuable president for a suffragette society. 33 0 Margaret Smith, Ph. B., Euterpe. Stud. Govt., ' lO- ' l 1 ; Y. W. C. A. Cab., ' 12; Chap.

' ' She revels in informing ns ' ' rude Westerners ' ' how they do things in the East. Peggy also has some lingual defects which cause her to leave off her r ' s where they should be used and a ' dd them where they should not. Poor Peggy. We hope she Avill ultimately recover.

Chester came here from Dayton, as the foregoing athletic record would -almost prove. Besides running and jumping and such interesting stunts, Chester had some time to do other things. One of these was to take special English courses from Willie, wherein he always acquired A ' s . We think that it was on a basis of some such nature as this that Chet got thro in three years ' and a half time. Then Chet got messed up with the Press Club, took • to running about with Cally, and was interested in divers and several places in the edi ing of the Open Court — that feted sheet that lost more than one man ' s fair fame. Alas P. Yorick, horrid, Farewell. EiviiL Evelyn Sayre, Ph. B., Philo. Honor Graduate Granville H. S. ; Chemical Society. There never was a subject in or out of the classroom but what Emma nan see thru in a twinkle. This is so wonderful that e ' idently she has spec- tacles of brightness. We understand that she has no place in her memory book for delinquent notices. Along domestic lines ' ' Emma ' ' is very pro- ficient, as is shown by the extent of her sewing on Friday evening. She is zehr (Sayre) good in German classes of all kinds. Meta Stevens, Ph. B., B. K., Philo. Philo-Euterpe Contest, ' 09; Secy. Philo, ' 09- ' 10; Y. W. C. A. Cab. ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Student Volunteer. ' ' There are meters of accent and meters of tone But the best of all meters is ' Meter ' alone. ' ' Meter ' ' has been a faithful Stone Haller for the past three years. Her room was always a haven for wayfarers and she was always willing to give the stranger a mug of water or an orange. Meter ' s photo in cap and gown is now traveling with the Baker Art Studio Company as a typical example of popular senior beauty. Oh fortuna! Henry W. Stevens, Ph. B., Franklin. Y. M. C. A. Cab. ' 09- ' 10; Geol. Soc; Chap. Frankhn ' 11. All of us have more energy than we can exhaust in plain study. It follows then, that the problem of school life is to find where that super- fluous energy shall be utilised. Some play football, some play tennis, and some play possum, but Henry, he plays, no he doesn ' t, he preaches, and no play about it. Folks say there is a big pulpit waiting for him somewhere. Never- theless he has some Green about him yet, but what ' s in a name, time will I ' hange that. Jane Anne Williams, Ph. B., B. K., Philo Granville High School, taught in Public Schools one year. Jane is a serious appearing damsel, whose most notable trait is an in- satisable appetite for knowledge. Now in Denison everybody knows where to go to satisfy such a demand as that — the long room that is over Dr. Hundley ' s office, and the Treasurer ' s rooms. That is where the English courses mostly live, ' and when .Jane once visited she was struck by the solemn air that hovers about — and stayed. Who else ever would have done it? Jane deserves a premium for it! Let us hope that she has won it — that prize for patient endurance! Arthur Albert Schauwecker, Ph. B. O. S. U., ' 08- ' 09; Vigilance Com.; Ady. Board; Toaster Junior B. ; W. B. Com. We are all but human — we all do make mistakes. So did Sprout. He went to 0. S. U. But then he saw the evil that lies there, and came away. We have never been able to tell whether ' ' Sprout ' ' was really hurt by his sojourn there, but no one can see it, and that ' s the point, anyway— We always have to watch our social P. ' s and Q. ' s pretty closely when ' ' Sprout is about . In fact, he has gotten to be a sort of Arbiter Elegantiarum (frightful, isn ' t it?) and when Sprout takes off his white kids nobody dares keep his on. This position of his is expressed in the formula: Sprout is to etiquette as Mrs. Elwood is to bridge. ' ' George R. Strayer, Ph. B., Franklin. Waterloo H. S., Ministerial Assn., Barney Deb. T. ' 12. Strayer is one of that kind of men who have for their motto, The Lord helps them, who. helps themselves. If he has made a place for him- self in school, it is because he has done it himself, politics and wire-pulling have had little place in his daily task. And as to the Sem. Hush, who ever saw him there? Sooner would he spend his vacation in a plague infecteil district. The sad thing about him is, that when you remonstrate with him concerning this one-sided education of his, there is a felt contented girl I left behind me look comes into his eyes. Oh, George, you certainly have met your Waterloo. . - — I SUMIO Uesugi, Ph. B., Franklin. D. A., Ministerial Assn., Student Volunteer, Lecturer on Japan. What Kipling said of Lord Koberts might well be said of Snmio Uesugi. ' ' He ' s little, but he ' s wise ; he ' s a terror for his size. ' ' Many audiences in Ohio and elsewhere have thought so when the little man from the east has poured out his eloquence upon them. We shall all be proud to think of you in the future, Suinio, and our best wishes go with you. Edna Wilson, Ph. B., B. K., Philo Newark H. S., Asst. in German, House Council. ' ' Fraulein Edna is slender and delicate looking, with a typical school- marm expression. German is Edna ' s specialty. If someone were to arouse her suddenly during the night, she would doubtless say, Was ist das? Edna is somewhat studiously inclined and Dutch Chamberlain rejoices in having at last found a student who will give two hours to the preparation of every lesson. Homer E. AVickenden, Ph. B., B. ®. n. Y. M. C. A. Cab. ' 10- ' 12; F. B. T. ' lO- ' H; Mgr. Soph, track T. ; Glee Club; Ady. Board; Den ' s ' n Staff; Treas. Senior Class. ' ' Homer ' s ' ' pet hobbies are the conservatory music store and ' ' Har- mony. He runs the former and the latter runs him. When, between the halves of the Wooster-Denison game, Livy asked the boys in turn what they thought was the matter, Wick objected to Deet ' s lack of har- mony in calling signals. Well, maybe Chas. ' s voice was a little b (flat) when it should (bsharp). Wick expects to go into bu siness and we hope he will be able to infuse a little of his harmony into its ranks. Lulu M. Pound, Ph. B., Philo. Indiana S. Normal ; Y. W. C. A. Cab. ' 08- ' 1 1 ; Student Volunteer. More fun and merry making were added to Shepardson when ' ' Lou ' ' came. A caller became of chief interest to Lou as she went on with her college course. All ' ' gym ' ' credits were easily and most willingly made up during walking hours. She had a very extensive art gallery in her room, but all the themes were limited. It needs not to be said that these works of art came from the hand of the photographer. She was happiest when nigh- a-man (Ney-a-man). Senior LelanD Asher Arnold, Grad. in Piano, r. A., Calliope. Mt. Vernon H. S., Glee Club Pianist. Leland hails from the wild environs of Knox County. Hereabouts he answers to the euphonious name of Pad and, as pianist and musician en generale, he resembles old Paderewski in more ways than one. Much of his time around Denison has been spent in the labyrinthine and heterogeneous depths of our Conservatory of Music, and we can imagine no better ' ' Dante to lead one thro it than he. Ruth Esther Rockwood, Grad. in Piano, Philo Grad. in Organ ' 10; Sec ' y Music Club ' 10; Ass ' t in Harmony. If music hath charms Ruth is determined to find wherein they are located.

When Prexy gives the Nineteen Twelvers a final shove into the latus, latus, orbis terrarum there will be some surprises. Not least of these will be in the music world. A prima dona enters. ' Tis true that in the course of years the sun may Brown this career begun so nicely, but ' twill be only a process of general preparation. Prima donnas there have been. Prima donnas there will be, but there is none like the Prima Donna of D. U. 37 Seniors in Art Laura Hester Wright, Grad. in Art, Philo. Wash., Ind., H. S., Franklin College, John Heron Art School, Indian- apolis. Poor ' ' Pud ' ' was the wayward cliild of Burton. She needed a room- mate to Steere her Wright so migrated to Stone. Burton objected to her dejjarture because when she went the man — the Sun. afternoon man — went, too. In Stone she is living happily, including weekly scraps with every- body. Art is her specialty and her particularity designing. When she obtains her diploma she will begin designing her master piece — her life ' s ambition — a white satin dress with a train three yards long. Ada Belinda Roudebush, Grad. in Art, Philo. Pros.

But to us the greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it. We choose Lucky for our motto, but prefixed it with a P then started out on our career. The first obstacle we encountered was a defiant group of pigamy giants gathered about a formidable iron structure on Beaver Field. ' Midst ecstatic cheers from their ladies, our knights rushed to the fray. In a few minutes the pigmies lay wriggling on the field, while our knights scaled the iron structure and brought away the blue and maroon trophy. After the skirmish our heroes refreshed themselves by a plunge into the gravel pit, then met the remainder of the pigmies in the open field and completely vanquished them. That night as the flames of victory leaped upward from Sugar Loaf the centennial inhab- itants of Granville nodded their heads, and sages smiled. After our victory every activity of school life opened its doors to us. We entered society with the first Freshman ' prom ' in the history of the University. In the class room we startled ' Gil ' and Pence with our brilliancy; while one of our number immediately found his way to the debating team. Our athletic ability put new life in Coach Freeman because of Varsity pros- pects, and gave our girls the championship in basketball. We began our Sophomore year by teaching the Freshmen what coming to college really means. We resolved to break all former records in class-room work and succeeded by making the highest Sophomore History grades that have ever been recorded in ' Dick ' s ' office. Our athletic record also was quite brilliant. Out of the twenty men on the football squad eleven came from ' 13, and among them the man who made the touchdown at O. S. U. In basketball we contributed three men who made the team an ob- ject of fear to all opposing teams. To baseball we gave more than half and to the cross-country, track and tennis we were also generous. But not alone to the men are our honors due; our girls as usual took a prominent place in all Shepardson athletics and again won the championship basketball pennant. Our Junior year has seen us turn our attention more than ever to intellectual pursuits, but not at all to the detriment of our athletic record. We again had half of the football squad and basketball, track, and cross-country may be seen in the Athletic department of the Adytum. The Junior Banquet furnished the first evidence of our in- tellectual bend by the depth of thought manifested in the toasts. Then the debating team looked to us for one of its captains, and was it not that very captain who almost took Wesleyan by storm } When the Seniors appeared for the first time in nun and priestly, 41 the method by which we greeted them was not only a character- istic illustration of our mental trend, but showed especially our artistic perfection. Our greatest intellectual effort, however, that toward which the energies of almost the whole class have been directed, is the editing and published of the book of all books, the Nineteen Twelve Adytum. Throughout our course we have been noted for being a class of ' firsts ' ; we were the first Freshman Philosophy so large as to require the Chapel; first class not to be conditioned on a ' D ' ; first Freshman class to receive a broad education on the subjects of connation and denotation and first class to banquet 42 in the Sem Annex. But our firsts do not stop there, we now stand out distinctly as the class that has put out the first-rate Adytum. Our aspirations have been great, our achievements many and we devoutly believe them to be the result of our motto, — our motto of five letters, P — Luck. The orange and black for one more year, Will lead in triumph, o ' er doubt and fear; May fortune guide us and never fail. On the seas of the future we are to sail. M . M. M.

He ' s in our midst, his presence inspires each one In the accomplishment of that which he ' s begun, And, under his kind, staunch and steadying hand.

Fourteen ! 50 Sophomore History Stop, look and listen to a most wonderful tale of the achieve- ments of the class of 1914. Last year before we arrived as verdant freshmen folks had said Nothing succeeds like suc- cess. Now all say with due reverence, no class succeeds like the class of 1914. In the fall of 1910 after we had proved conclusively to the registrar that we were worthy to be a part of Denison we turned our attention to the serious thmgs of our present life. There was work to be done and we were the class to do it. All classes save one seemed to feel our importance and it was our duty to bring that one to such a realization. The faculty rec- ognizing the importance of this step, set aside a day for that pur- pose. We met the Sophomores on October 1 1 th, and knowing how wrong it would be to entirely discourage them we took down the flag to show our strength and spirit and then allowed them to redeem themselves as best they could in the afternoon meets. This was but the beginning of a glorious year of triumph filled full of successes, the natural outcome of such invincible class spirit. This fall we returned as those tried and true. Upheld by the strong foundations of last year we were ready to go in and win. Not wishing to take the innocent Freshmen by sur- prise, they were warned by copies of our wishes placed at their disposal. In spite of our aversion to strong means a class scrap seemed inevitable. On the night preceding the scrap some strategic Sophomores came across the Freshmen ' s scaffold. This was used in making the flag secure and after it had outlived its usefulness it was stored out of the way of 1915. Mere num- bers gained the Freshmen the flag rush, but only after a hard struggle of an hour and twenty minutes — about twice as long as it had taken 1914 the year before. During the scrap the San- dows of ' 14, including ' Dutch, ' each kept as many as seven Freshmen busy tying them. In the afternoon where real skill could be used the Sophomores showed their worth. The tug- of-war was scarcely begun before the Freshmen had succumbed. A similar result followed at Beaver Field at the football game when the disheartened Fresbies were defeated with a 1 9-0 score. In other forms of athletics 1914 has rightfully held a prom- inent place. Phelps, Curtin, Haskins, Watkins and Morrow have been honored with a place on the Varsity football team. Prouty, Chaille and Haskins have upheld 1914 by their work in basketball. In track, too, Matthews, Schropp, Miller, Mor- row, Prouty and Phelps have represented us. In the inter- class basketball games the class held the championship for 191 1 as well as the interclass championship for 1910 and 1911 in cross-country. Both the boys and the girls teams will proba- bly hold the basketball championship this year. 51 Early in our Freshman year we began our social career. That evening spent in Swasey Gymnasium will long be remem- bered by all the members of the class. There it was proved that men as well as women could talk, for progressive conver- sations made the time seem very short. The class stunt of this year may rightly take its place beside the other. Three hay- racks bore the merry members of 1914 to Watkins, where a true Watkinesque spread awaited us. All too soon Sem rules broke up the jollification, but the return trip proved a fit- ting climax, for our way led through the Welsh Hills which were flooded with the glorious light of an autumn moon. Being duly impressed during our Freshmen year with the extreme necessity of maintaining a margin and having absorbed unlimited quantities of Genung, we were ready this year to fol- The Task Pausing awhile before half-opened doors — Already hearing sounds of beating tide, Expectant and yet shrinking from the view.

If our history were to stop here we could not claim for ourselves the position which we do, but our training at Denison is not one- sided. There is no activity in the school where one will not find the Sophomores in their rightful place. The history of 1914 is still in the making. The class will do its best, and whatever may be the visible results the sentiment of the class will always be — 1914, 1914, loyal ever, Failing never. Though defeated still the same, 1914 is our name. A. M. B. Sophomores. Group I. J. S. Clark, L. H. Chaille. L. L. Bruce, W. A. Douglass, E. J. Barney, E. B. Davis. M. T. Burnham, F. O.

U. ! 58 Freshman In the usual way, the class of nineteen fifteen entered Denison University; in the usual way it is composed of the products of various high schools; with the usual luck of Freshmen we have been introduced to Math, Latin, and Genung; and yet do we intend to make known, in a most unusual way, the capabilities that are stored up among our members. In history we are as yet in- fants, but it is the firm intention of everyone of the largest class that has ever entered this University to make time ring to the tune of They ' re not only Quantity, but Quality.. When we first met the welcoming smile of Dr. Hunt, we knew we were going to prove an unusually promising class. Time has not dimmed the prospect! Equipped, as we are, with the finest athletes, Livy is already casting a pleased, prospective eye on our men for the Varsity. It is with pleasure, dear readers, we state that the freshmen defeated the University basketball team in a well-fought game. How ' s that for an outlook? For it is, fortunately, only with the past that history deals, else this recital would seriously crowd the pages of our Adytum. In the annual and inevitable conflict with the sophomores we accomplished the difficult and trying task of tearing down the hostile colors and finally tacking to the pole our purple and gold. Of course, in the afternoon, having satisfied the crowd with our heroic and spectacular deeds, we must show our generosity and good nature by yielding the tug-of-war and football game to our 59 History advanced classmen or I fear they should have been sorely pit to it to maintain their necessary dignity. But our minds have not been wholly taken up with athletic feats. It is with pride that we refer you to the statement of Prof. Pence, the well-famed instructor in the intricacies of Rhetoric, that a greater number of A ' s have been awarded in the first semester of Freshmen English this year than he has ever been forced to record before. Do not think that we have found no time to develop our so- cial propensities. Each Freshman boy and girl will long remem- ber the merry hay ride to Watkin ' s farm, where not only a mock football game, but other kinds of fun, were indulged in and the inner man was fully and joyously satisfied. Then, the charming ride home in the moonlight with many a song and lusty college cheer, a successful social stunt indeed. Not here, even, shall our exploits end. So let us leave you with the idea that well begun is half done, and we ' re straight on the road to success. Lives of Seniors all remind us.

Since then the class of ' 1 2 has endeavored to be foremost in all Academy activities; nor has its purpose been altogether thwarted. It has taken an active part in athletics ; it has represented Doane in contests and debates; and it has maintained a higher standard of scholarship than any class for some years past. The class called its first meeting September 26, 1911, for the purpose of organization, electing officers and appointing com- mittees. But perhaps the most enjoyable meeting was the one held on December 1 6, in Doane Gymnasium, which was beauti- fully decorated with the class colors, black and gold. It was. indeed, a pleasant evening, and one to which the class will long refer as the best social stunt , during its Academy course. But we need not mention the past, more ; we hope the spirit and impress of the class will be felt in Doane, for we have tried to make the Academy better by our attendance here. We are now looking to the future. And as the new school year will be- gin we desire to make Denison and its success our aim. As Doane is a part of the University, so we hope to grow into the spirit of the larger school, and it is to Denison that we shall now turn our attention, but ever keeping a fond affection and loyal heart for dear old Doane. 69 Senior Preps H.

Livingston, ' 09) The wisdom of the choice of Waher J. Livingston as coach and physical director at his alma mater has already been proven. As a student of Denison his career was eminently successful. He holds the proud record of having played in every minute of every varsity baseball, basketball and football game during his four years in college, and was captain of each team once. It was everywhere conceded that he well deserved his positions upon the All-Ohio football and baseball teams. Upon the Glee Club he was equally successful, as one of the soloists. But his student activities were not limited to these circles, for he was a leader in literary, social and religious organizations being a mem- ber of Franklin Literary Society, the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the College Y. M. C. A. Upon his graduation he accepted the directorship of the Physical Department of the Newark (Ohio) Y. M. C. A. He pushed activities there with his accustomed vigor and enthusiasm, and when, in the Spring of 1911, he accepted the position he now occupies, his many friends in Newark keenly regretted the loss of such a man as they realized him to be. But his coming to Denison was welcomed from all sides. An early start at football in the fall showed up his ability. With seven veterans at hand, a number of last year ' s freshman team and many new men, Livy rounded out a team that was a credit to this or any other institution. Out every afternoon, rain or shine in his togs, along with the boys, he urged, counseled, advised and directed as he felt necessary, until he had gained the utmost con- fidence of all. It can well be said that he gets that out of his teams which all are glad to give, their best. Denison is proud of Livy. 74 Officers of the Athletic Association 75 Officers of the Athletic Association President I. R. Tannehill Treasurer A. M. Brumback Vice President Q. A.

With seven veterans in the line and a number of last years ' scrubs to pick from besides many new men, pros- pects looked bright. Livy set all hard at work falHng on the ball, tackling, straight-arm and leg driving. Each afternoon showed the result of the previous day ' s hard workout and in two weeks all were in good condition for the first practice game with Doane Academy. The Varsity had no difficulty in runmng up a 1 9 to 0 score but the weak points showed up strongly and were so fortified in the following practices that all were confident when the team met its first collegiate adversary on Beaver Field, Oct. 7th. Wooster proved easy picking although the 6 to 5 score does not show it. For the first time in the history of the school the Cleveland Scientists did not win a victory from us and Case rooters felt lucky to have escaped with a 0 to 0 score from the game in which they had been outgeneraled and outplayed. The following week found our boys at Oberlin where a fluke touchdown and a beautiful field goal gave our opponents a 9 to 0 victory in a very evenly matched game. Wittenberg ' s and Otterbein ' s scalps were taken with scores of 8 to 0 and 23 to 8, respectively. The same thing that was said of the Case game might be applied to the 0 to 0 tie with Cincinnati and with equal force. Kenyon was easy for us and a 23 to 6 score made sweet revenge for last year ' s fluke defeat. Before four hundred Denison rooters, Wesleyan ' s heavier team was enabled to batter down our lighter men, by the way of the mud sea on which the battle was waged. Our noted speed was effectually hampered and our famous tricks could not get well started. Score 1 7 to 0. But the West Virginia mountaineers had to feel our spite and give us that beautiful blue and gold football that adorns our trophy case, representing to all our 5 to 3 defeat of W. V. U. This proved to be a grand finale for one of the best seasons ever seen by a Denison football team.

He has 31 of this year ' s points to his credit. His strong point was line-plunging, where he picked his holes instinctively. Babe ' s straight arm on end runs was a terror to tacklers. Rupp stands 5 ft. 11 in. high and weighs 165. He is a Junior and has another year on the team. DeetER — Deet is a born general. His heady direction of the plays from the quarterback position has in no small measure accounted for the team ' s fine record. Deet ' s long suit was catching and running back punts, for he is an expert dodger. Charlie well deserves the cap- taincy for next year. He is the lightest man on the team, weighing 140 pounds and standing 5 ft. 10 in. Deet is a Junior, too. Ashley — Big Bob proved to be the mainstay of the left side of that Stonewall line of defense. At left tackle he opened up big holes for the backs on the of fense and on defense was fairly impregnable. He was sorely missed in the Wesleyan game, being kept out on account ol injuries. He and his mate, Big Jawn, made as fine a pair of tackles as there was in the state. Bob is 6 ft. 2 in. and weighs 185. 1913 is glad to own him, too. CuRTIN — Curt changed off with Goat at center. More, of the team ' s success depends on a center than is generally thought. He never balled up the many signals he had to know and his passes could not be improved upon. Curtin is 5 ft. 9 in. tall and weighs 156 pounds George made good in this his first year on the team and we are glad that he has two more years in college. DUNLAP — Rhiney served a good apprenticeship on the scrubs last year and everybody was glad to see him get his D this year. Al- though light, Rhiney was a fearless line plunger, and made a fast full- back on a fast backfield. Harold distributes I 40 pounds over a 5 ft. 11! . m. frame. Dunlap is a Junior and will play again next year. , Foi SYTHE — Ben ' s work at right guard has helped make Den- ison s brilliant linework what it is. On defense and offense he was equally good and opposing backs found him a hard one to hit. Ben stands 6 ft. and weighs ] 67 pounds. His three years of football, two of them on the team, have stood him in good stead this season. Ben is a senior and his will be a hard place to fill. HaskinS — Teck played his first year in college football at left end. Injuries kept him out of several of the early games, but upon his return he made up for his absence. Teck is very fast and expert at pulling down long forward passes. His tackling was very consistent. Haskins weighs 146 pounds and is 5 ft. 9 in. tall. He has two more years to play. Heinrichs — This was Fish ' s first year on the team. He changed off at left end and was noted for his booting. He saved the Wooster game from being a tie. Fish is 6 ft. tall and weighs 145 pounds. He is a Junior. 81 Phelps Harry is an old Ashtabula High School star and in his first year of college football lived up to his high school reputation. A ' right half his best work was done in interference and in long end runs. He is the fastest man on the team and his forward passes are all that could be desired. He weighs 1 60 and is 5 ft. 1 OV:- in. tall. Harry has two more years to play for D. U. . , , ,• i r ii J Thompson — Big Jawn was Demson s best Imesman and tuUy de- served an All-Ohio eleven position. Tommy was a fiend on defense and rarely if ever did he miss his man. For such a big boy Jawn was exceptionally fast getting down under punts, and time and again got the man with the ball before the ends did. Tom ' s best game was the whole season. His weight was 1 78 and height 5 ft. 1 1 y. in. His will indeed be a hard place to fill. Hewins — Buck used his experience gained on last year ' s scrub eleven to good advantage and won his letter without a doubt. Hewie ' s work at left guard was good both in opening up holes and smashing up line bucks. The West Virgima game was his best performance in togs Buck has 1 70 pounds and 6 ft. of height. He is another Jumor and has one more year to play. Morrow l ony originally was a backfield man, but when Teck got hurt he went in at left end. Fast, fearless and small, Jig. makes an ideal end. His toe work secured for him his position on the team. Denisonians saw him at his best in the Otterbein game 1 ony is the team ' s midget, for he is 5 ft. 8 in. short and 1 48 pounds hght. We are glad Tony is a Soph, and has two more years in college. Watkins— Goat got a late start at football this fall because of faculty complications, but he proved to be a valuable man in the line, although in prepdom he was a star fullback. At center Goat ' s passes back for punts were always good. In breakup forward passes on the secondary defense Goat ' s work was exceptional. He weighs 173 and stands 5 ft. 10 in. Goat is a Soph, and so has two more years to play. WiCKENDEN — Wick is one of those men whose value is in their steadiness. At any time or in any place he was to be relied upon. Some- what hght for fullback but good line plunger and a valuable man in interference on end runs. Wick ' s secondary defense work was his strongest point. Weight 1 45 pounds, height 5 ft. 9 in. We will miss his voice too on the singing football team for he is a Senior. Wood — Black has the enviable reputation of being the best tackier -Di 1 - played every quarter of every game this fall. Black IS fast getting down under punts and his fearless tackles seldom miss their target. His nailing of forward passes was brilliant all season, and It was to this feature of his work that we owe our victory over West Virginia. Weight 1 60 pounds, height 5 ft. 11 in. Juniors are proud of their classmate. RUMSEY — Butch filled a hard place well by stepping into the manager ' s place this fall. From a financial standpoint his team was a great success and he well deserves his re-election. From the team ' s point of view he is a good manager for they always got what they needed and generally what they wanted. Butch was a good Papa to the team. Height, variable; weight, more so. The Foot-Ball Team lop row— Watkins, Wickenden, Haskins, Pfeiffer, Curtin, Deeter, Mgr. Rumsey. Second row — Martin, Thompson, Forsythe, Capt. Rupp, Hewins, Ashley, Cramer. Bottom row — Heinrichs, Morrow, Wood, Phelps, Schropp, Dunlap. 84 The Basketball Season 1 9 ] 1 In dealing with the athletics of the Adytum a problem has come up before the editors of the department, needy of solution once and for all. In past years it has been the custom of athletic editors to include in their department accounts of all the sports which took place between the periods when the preceding annual went to press and the limit of time set by their own printers when their dope sheets had to be complete. This system of work broke the basketball season up into two parts, one of which was reported in the annual of that year and the other left for the fol- lowing year. The indoor and outdoor track seasons were similarly affected. The present editors have devised the scheme of placing in their annual all sports that occur in the seasons in- cluded between January first of the preceding year and January first of the year in which their book goes to press. This leaves a definite amount of work for each year-book to report. It is the sincere desire of the present editors that this plan will find ap- proval with our successors and be adopted by them for its ad- vantages are apparent to them all. In accordance then with this custom, it will be our endeavor to recount in full the incomplete basketball record of last season and leave the 1912 season to our successors. Moreover in dealing with track we shall include the indoor season with the outdoor, although it was also written up in the Adytum of 1911. The basketball season of 1911 was the most successful in the history of Denison. The team began its work early in Decem- ber with two veterans of the previous year and many Sopho- mores with prep, reputations behind them. Under Doc Free- man ' s able coaching and Captain Higgins competent leadership a team was soon rounded into shape that was quickly recognized all over the state as a hummer. The regular men were chosen shortly after the Xmas holidays and carefully drilled on the signals. The first game was held on the local floor and proved to be an easy victory over Baldwin-Wallace 54-27. But the great triumph was our defeat of our Columbus rivals. A 32-31 vic- tory over them paved the way for O. S. U ' s. discontinuance of athletic relations with Denison. Otterbein then met defeat 45-8 and were unable to score a field goal. Carnegie Teck proved to be about the same class and were ' walloped ' 41-9. A little gloom fell o n the southern trip when Muskingum beat us in a dog-kennel, 40-37, but the boys scalped Marietta, Ohio U. and Parkersburg Y in quick succession for retribution. But . there was great rejoicing in Israel when Syracuse was beaten 37-28 and Wesleyan was sold at auction 37-27. The refereeing of Ned Paul of Cleveland was the best seen on a local floor. The northern trip was a hard one and rather disappoint- ing but a subsequent victory over Cincinnati mollified the home rooters. The season ended with a 24-13 victory over our Gam- bier rivals the night after Wooster won their game 35-26. This team won some splendid games for alma mater as the trophy case will testify, and their record did more toward gaining a whole- some respect for Denison on the basketball floor than almost any team that preceded it. 86 e Season ' s Scores DATE PLACE D.

Sphnter could also drop them thru the ring from quite a distance and helped the score materially by his long shots in nearly all the games. Hig prepared in Doane Academy. His absence will be greatly felt this next season. MORROW— Jigg at forward was as fast as there was on the team. He was a quick, sure passer and a star floor man, handling the ball the best of any man on the team. He could slip them into the bas- ket too, just when points were needed most. Jigg prepped at Gran- ville High School. We are glad he has another year for Denison. Black — Lester at forward was the varsity scoring machine, that needed only to be fed. It seemed he couldn ' t miss the basket, ten and twelve baskets a game were common for Big Lester and even when they began playing two and three men on his back he still made the pomts. Big as a house he was a terror to his opponents and was everywhere hailed as the best forward in the state. Lester prepared for college in Newark High. Holt — Walt at center played a guarding game thruout the season, which in a large measure accounts for his small number of baskets. Cincinnati was Walt ' s star ga. ' ' . Few centers ever got the jump on Walt and as a guard he was responsible for many of Denison ' s close victories. He is a Troy High man, and has two more years for the team. 88 McCann — Bob played a very fast game at guard. His move- ments were the fastest of any of the boys and this enabled him to break up fast pass work. His own passing was fast and sure. Bob has a good eye for the basket which makes him a valuable man who can be counted on next year. McCann is a Doane Academy alumnus. Chamberlain — Manager Gloomy stepped into Brown ' s place when the latter was taken ill and filled his position with credit and gave satisfaction to both the Board of Control and his proteges — quite a rare occurence. It was Gloomy ' s policy to give the best he could afford to the team. We are glad the D was awarded to him. RUPP — Babe though placed at guard played a star floor game and scored many of the locals ' points. It was quite common for him to get more points than the forward he was guarding. He made a specialty of taking the ball away from a crowd and carrying it down the floor. Babe played for Sandusky High and then for Doane Academy. He has two more years at Denison. 89 The Baseball Season 1911 The past season of baseball was a disappointing one to both the students and the team, for hard luck featured very strongly in a number of the games. The team itself deserves the highest commendation for the spirit that it showed throughout the year. Every man of the bunch stuck to it with the true Denison spirit, and to Captain Morrow great credit is due for his faithful work day by day in the face of successive defeats. After all it is well to remember that victory is no great matter and defeat is less; the essential thing in sport is the manly striving to excell and the good feeling it fosters between those who play fair and have no excuses when they lose. Rainy weather prevented a good early start, but on March 23rd, 1911, about twenty candidates responded to Captain Mor- row ' s call for outdoor work, many having had considerable in- door work in the gym. already. Regular practice was held every afternoon the weather would permit and finally Doc Freeman shifted the squad down to about 15 men with which to work. The first three games with Ohio-Medics, Wesleyan and Otterbein had to be cancelled on account of wet grounds and this in itself proved to be a severe handicap to the team. The first game with O.S.U. at Columbus was played on a muddy field and our aggregation came home with the lesser end of a 14-0 score. At Westerville some days later several costly errors gave the game to Otterbein after Rupp had pitched splen- did ball. O. S. U. visited Granville the following Saturday and eventually succeeded in getting away with a 9-t victory. It is a sadly regrettable fact however that they needed to mar their victory by laying out our star catcher Bob Ashley, whose absence from the game the rest of the season because of a broken collarbone in no small way accounted for the several subsequent defeats, for although Holt filled the backstop position very credit- ably he is ordinarily a first baseman. Kenyon won a very close and exciting game by sending in the winning run in the ninth on a Texas leaguer over first. At Athens the team showed its only true form of the season when it won its only victory by the big score of 10-2. But West Virginia ran away with two straight victories, 10-2 and 13-2. Then the old boys showed the stuff that made Denison ' s early baseball teams the best in the state when a collection of men such as Mark Winchester, Livy, Paine and a dozen others of equal fame, calling themselves Alumni , Defeated the Youngsters 13-6 in the commence- ment game, thus closing the baseball season of 1911. 92 The Seasons Scores April 9 9 zz Uolumbus L enison . .0 . . . ij.

At the bat he made them put them over and did good work with the stick. We ' re mighty glad he has another year on the team. Ashley Bob was the mainstay of the team until bad luck struck him. He is a backstop above the aveage of college catchers and is a good batsman and base-runner. Above all he is a good coacher and field general which makes his election to the Captaincy particularly well deserved. He has a way of cutting off adventurous base-runners that makes him of great value to the team. Bob is a Junior. Black — Yaqui could play almost anywhere and make a good job ,of it. In the box he was at his best and he sure could sting them over some. His pitching was a good deal better than a glance at the record might indicate, for he couldn ' t do it all. Lester will not be with us next year and he will be missed in more ways than one when the varsity takes the field. DeeTER — Charlie was the steadiest infielder on the team. He was death on anything coming toward third and was good at the bat. On the bases Deet got away with a good number of stolen ones by speed and good sliding. Deet ' s next two years on the team should make him more reliable than ever. 94 FoRSYTHE — Ben was as steady as a clock on the initial sack. He didn ' t seem to care much what kind of throws came his way, but gobbled them all up. At the bat too Ben was there with the goods and landed a good fat batting average at the end of the season. Ben too has another season for us. HewinS — Buck held down second and was right on the job. He was good at putting the ball on the runner and it was hard to slide around him. At the bat he improved steadily as the season advanced, and did good work with the big stick. Another man who has two more seasons with the team. Holt — Walt deserves especial credit for his baseball season. Al- though a first sacker of no mediocre ability he stepped into Ashley ' s place when the latter got hurt and made a splendid showing behind the bat. A steady and fearless eye helped both behind, and at, the bat where he was one of the best hitters we had. We are glad that he too is a Junior with two years before him. RUPP — Babe pitched the majority of the team games and with bette: support would have made a very creditable record. He had the curves and the steam but a lot of bad luck. At the bat he got a goodly number of bingles and fielded his position in fine style. Babe is a Junior too. 95 WattersoN — Fat covered a lot of ground in the outfield and made a number of brilliant catches. He was a little hght in hitting but made up for it by the most consistent kind of work in the left garden. We are sorry Fat has decided to quit college and work. ■Webb — Red got a late start, but made good in right field and on the bases when he once got a-going. He is fast and stole bases in a way that proved very annoying to the opposition. He has two more years to play and we ' re glad of it. Williams — George was a good player but had so many things on his hands that he couldn ' t give his hands to baseball always. Had he not been so busy he would have been one of the best men on the team for he was valuable both in right field and as a batter. He has played his last year for Denison. HoSKINSON — Hosky, besides being a ratding good baseball player was an A No. 1 manager. He saw to it that the team was well cared for and yet made some money which is a very rare occurence in this line of sport. At the bat he could be counted on and in the center garden nothing went astray that came near him. His will be a very hard place to fill this year. 96 The Track Season 1911 The track season was more successful by far than would seem to be the case from a superficial glance at the scores. The indoor season was composed of three meets with Wesleyan, Ohio State and Ohio U. Both Wesleyan and State, the latter easily, won from the team that was sent over, in each case sorely handi- capped by the absence of the track men playing on the basketball team. But Ohio later met an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Denison men in the local gymnasium. Eleven of the twelve indoor records were broken during the season two of these by Freshmen in the annual Freshman-Sophomore meet, which was won by the latter 61-34. The size of the track in the Swasey Gymnasium is too small to permit of comparison of records estab- lished upon it, with similar marks established at much larger tracks thruout the state. The fact that so many records were broken, proves that a great interest in this branch of athletics has been renewed at Denison, as is the case thruout the state. The team early began outdoor work, the distance men try- ing out their lungs on the hilly roads, the vaulters, sprinters, jump- ers and hurdlers soon limbering up into good form under Doc s experienced track coaching. Everybody regretted that after re- peated trials Captain Orcutt was forced to abandon his pet sport, on account of his physical condition. In him Denison lost a valu- able distance man and incidentally a large number of points. Noot Carman was undoubtedly the star of the season although there were some who pushed him close for thatjionor namely, Coe Parks and Heinrichs. The Delaware boys came here with a strong contingent and romped away with an 87-30 victory because of their overwhelming strength in the weights and sprints. Miami proved to be a much likelier rival and for many events the score stood first in their favor than in ours, until well toward the end of the meet, Maimi won two firsts that clinched the victory for them. Tr ue, Wooster won by a score of 87-30 but the dopers claim that had four of our men who were unable to compete be- cause of retaining college work, been available, the victory would have been Denison ' s by a narrow margin. The next contest with Ohio U. seems to bear out the truth of this statement for with the entire team to draw from, the Denison tracksters snowed Ohio U. under a grand total of 93 1 2 points, allowing the Athenians to emerge from the meet with but two firsts. Then for the first time in several years, Denison athletes won places in the Big Six . These honors were won by Car- man who ran the far-famed Baker a close race in the mile in 4:39, and by Parks who was second to McCoy of O.S.U. in the ham- mer throw, in which the mark was 123 ft. 4 in. Thus closed a good track season for old D. U. With many new and promis- ing freshmen of last year ' s team to draw from and most of the veterans of last years team, a much better showing still can be expected from the 1912 track team. 98 Orc UTT — Cap ' n Sam started the season with every prospect of maintaining and bettermg his reputation of being one of the best dis- tance men in the state. But stomach trouble set in shortly after the indoor was over and he was unable to work longer for the team, so many points in the runs went by the board therewith. Sam ' s splendid stride and great endurance made hirn the distance man he is. Cap. scored 1 3 points in the two meets he was in those with O. S. U. and O. U. in the 1 mile and 2 mile runs. Being a senior Cap ' s services will not be available again. Carman — Newt was a man who could always be depended upon for points in whatever events he was started. His work on the track team is a splendid specimen of what can be done by hard faithful work and consistent training. His second place in the mile in the Ohio Intercollegiate Meet was a fine culmination of a fine record. He has the enviable distinction of having scored the highest total number of points, 521 4 of the season, in the half-mile, one mile and two mile runs. ' Newt also is a senior whose services will be greatly missed. CoE — Cosey ' s active connection with track work ever since he was a Prep here, has made him one of the best track men Denison ever had. He now holds the prep and college records in the Broad Jump and the college record in the High Jump. In these events and the 1 00 yard dash he scored during the season 26 ' points, the third highest total of the season. His graduation leaves for the track team a hard place to fill in the jumps. Parks — Carno ' s speciality was the hammer throw. If ever a man worked faithfully to excel in any branch of sport it was Parks ' y in the hammer throw. Every afternoon he would chase his iron poodle back and forth on Beaver Field. And Denison was proud when he won ' his second place in the Big Six . Parks has to his credit 18 of the points scored in the five outdoor meets. Carno is also one of these Seniors we shall miss so badly. 99 POE— Poesy is an old Steel high graduate who won much dis- tinction as a runner before he came to Demson. He was captain ol tb- 1910 track team and did fine work m that capacity. Ch e % S ' .f endurance and speed combined to make him a crack quarter and half m.ler although he has done fine work in the mile and two 1 ° also led off for the relay team and here helped score his 14 1 4 points last season. He has one more year in Demson. . , , Webb S R Staff s work on the team is the product oi the hard- est kind of training and faithful work. Although he is not a natural born runner he has placed himself where he is by his determmed efforts. Webb won his second track D in the Miami meet with his second place in his two favorite events, the mile and two mile. Nine points were his share of last years total. Webb has another year for the track team. Webb H .W. — Red interspersed a good baseball record with his track work, where he made a good name for himself in the sprints. Red shone in both the Ohio U. meets by winning the sprints. A total of 21 points are due to his ability and we are glad that this was but his first year on the team for Red is a member of the class of 1913. DUNLAP— Rhiney was one of the season s best finds. When he came here from Urbana he had no track experience whatsoever In his Freshman year he was one of the star men and proved so for the Varsity also his last year. Dunlap ran away with 15!4 points of which I I were won in the Ohio U. outdoor meet. He ran a fast third on the relay team besides his good work in the half and quarter mile. We were glad that it is under him the track team is to wm their laurels this year. Khiney is a member of the Junior class too. WiCKENDEN — Wick put in many hours of faithful practice over the hurdles and he has developed, in spite of his height, into one of the best timber-toppers the college has ever known. Homer ' s form in the hurdles is well nigh perfect. In the Ohio meet he won the low and finished second in the high hurdles. During the season he won 1 4 points. This was Wick ' s second year on the team and we are glad to be able to have him with us next year. Sweet — Harry was one of the mainstays of the team last year and fourth highest point winner of the season with 251 4 points. He holds the college indoor record for the pole vault which event was his specialty, although he did some good work with the weights. This was Harry ' s first year on the varsity and had he returned to college he would have made a valuable man this year. BoUTWELL — Joe is a good sprinter being originally a I 00 yard man. but a shortage of quarter milers led Doc to place Joe there and in the 220. Boutwell was a regular on the relay team filling the second place with credit. Although he has had but one good year on the team Joe has only one more as he is going thru college in three years. Heinrichs — Fish ran in the quarter mile and last on the relay team, besides being good in the hurdles. In the high hurdles he holds the college record at sixteen and three-fifths. He won the second highest number of points on the team, with a total of 47. Fish was captain of the Freshmen championship team last year so he has two more years on the team. 101 Edwards — Eddy ' s cross country experience stood him in good stead in the distance runs on the track team. He won his letter in the Miami meet when he ran away with the 2 mile run as a fitting climax to a hard season of work. Eddy is a small man but his endurance and faithful training make up for a short stride. Eddy scored 5 points is member of the class of 1913. Hewins — Buck ' s athletic prowess is not lim.ited to baseball and football for he did good work in the high jump on the track team. At Wesleyan and Wooster he tied for first place in this event. Buck jumps in the old scissors style but a splendid spring gets him the height. Hewins pulled in 9% points last season and we are glad that he has two more years at Denison. Reynolds — Katy was one of the most spectacular finds of the season. In the pole-vault last spring he was clearing the bar at about the same height as the jumpers. But Doc Freeman ' s expert eye saw in him the making of a vaulter and by June he had broken the college record, besides making a fine showing in the conference meet, all as a result of faithful work and good coaching. Katy brought us 8 points on his first years work on the team. Neyman — Manager Clint was not satisfied with merely his offi- cial duties, but had to show his further interest by working in the broad jump and discus throw, in both of which he did good consistent work. Neyman always gave the team the best of accomodations and pulled the squad thru a hard season with exceptional success. Graduation loses him to the team for this year. 102 Field Day 3 ■ r «fir oW c o R B VEN I riR- -r secoNP THIRD piSVf ]N c z I 9 I ( | 9i g | 9f g i 3 -I H 0 u YDS CO£ M « FHtLPs 4 1 0 - r i e c 0 o 2 So VDS V. h ' ypp- PH- Thelps ' 4 ' ioOT fJF.uL ) 5 0 0 1 3 4-40 YDS t irCH£LL,dR 5 6 5ec o o s 0 ,-(flLF MILE CflRMRN ) 1 ' nnrr, PR S £ sec 5 0 o Deer p.n 4 V7 5 5 s 0 sr o Tw 0 Mile J]owkontt, ' ' h 0 o 0 H 0-(4 TUMP Co £ fi 5 0 1 3 0 Zf Dl), ' 4 0 o 4 HlGcH UVRDh H£iNHICHi, ) sec 0 S 3 bHRTLEYj Dff ? g 3 „ 0 0 POLe V flULT SIaIEETj ' i 3 0 0 SHOT Put bierOri, DfJ E- Ruff ' lb 3 3 l ' 9J 0 o 5 3 Discus bCH0£PFLe 4 o 0 o 5 o o 4 o 1 9 3 19 4 9I Z 3 rn 7 sec 0 5 0 = I nd cafes ' v ew 7? e c o k m¥F7 ? 7 4V a 6 103 I NDOQ-R „ QUT-POO ' R jz:; WTT 1 1 S-J v-y  r , .

These are the men that make up the Varsity Cross Country Team. Cross-country running is a very popular sport in England and is a pastime that is fast gaining in popularity in this country, but more especially in the east. Of all sports that demand stamina, reserve power, long wind and bull-dog determination, cross-country run- ing is among the foremost. It is splendid exercise when not over- done, and very hard work when entered into as a contest. The men that make up our cross-country team are, then, worthy of far more credit than they receive. As a rule cross-country does not appeal to the spectators, because there is so little of the contest visible to him. This kind of running is comparatively new to Ohio for here at Denison one of the first teams in the state was formed in the fall of 1909, but the sport has gained steadily in popularity since its introduction here. The first Denison team registered a victory over the O. S. U. team and last year we beat Wesleyan. So few colleges are interested as yet in this branch of ath- letics that our managers have found it difficult to secure meets. O. S. U., Oberlin, Wooster and Denison were the only colleges in the state this last season that had teams, and Oberlin ' s distance from us moved them from the list of likely contestants while O. S. U. ' s actions in regard to other athletic relations with us, placed them also out of consideration. But upon the afternoon of the Otterbein football game, November 4th, the Denison and Woos- ter teams lined up for the start in front of the postoffice, of their long five mile course over Licking ' s beautiful hills. The next appearance of the men was at Beaver field shortly before the start of the football game, Bob Miller had a good lead and finished at the grandstand after a lap around the track in 36 min. 1 2 sec. Moore of Wooster ran a good second and he was followed closely by Captain Webb. The next man to finish made the contest an exciting one. Two Wooster men were closely followed by Villers and Essex in order. This left the score 17-19 in our favor. Dusty Miller clinched the meet for us by beating out the last Wooster man. Thus the score was 26 to 29 and Denison won the meet. The men deserve credit for training so faithfully for this one meet, the victory earning for them their letters, which they wear the more proudly because of their hard work well done. The Annual Inter-class cross country meet was this year held on November 22. The upper class men did not enter. The Sophomores easily won with a score of 48. Miller of this class was the first to finish. He did the four mile course in 20 min. 2 sec. The next four men were Burroughs, 1915; Deer, Doane, Villers, 1914; and Kirk, 1915. 105 Webb — Staff is doubtless the hardest worker on the team even as he was in track. His faithful work on the cross-country team has earned for him the Captaincy and he has lived up to the records of good prede- cessors. His last appearance for the team was a good one for this is his last year here at Denison. Essex — Freeman was a greenhorn at the first of the season but each afternoon the improvement in his stride, wind and endurance could be noted and when the tryouts came he lived up to general expectation and made the team. He has two more years to work for us. Miller W. D. — Dusty worked on the cross-country team when he was not busy leading the football cheering, but he made good. The inability of Manager Eddy to run forced Dusty to compete with but little preparation, and the more credit is due him for his good showing in spite of this fact. We shall lose Dusty by the diploma route too. Miller R. B. — Bob was easily the star of the season. He made a name for himself in his freshman year when he finished third in the Interclass run. His fine endurance is his mainstay, for Bob has a style of running all his own. He will make a valuable man in his two remaining years of cross-country work. ViLLERS — Villers is also a new man who began his training early this season. Villers is not a natural born runner but his perseverance and endurance, which work well for him in spite of his short stride, won for him the coveted letter. He also has two more years for Varsity. Manager Edwards — Eddy made the team when the tryouts were held, but a bad side kept him from competing in the Wooster meet. Eddy worked hard both as a member and as the manager of the team and the fact that more meets were not secured is no fault of his. Edwards is a member of the 1913 class. THE TENNIS TEAM CapTAIN a. G. Adams — Ginn completed a splendid four years for tennis at Denison. Two years as Captain and one as Manager, he has backed the sport and placed it where it now is in our college athletics. His attitude toward the sport has distinctly boosted it. We are all sorry that Archie is lost to us this year thru graduation. Manager C. H. Hill — Count worked his first year on the ' Varsity team very fai thfully. He secured a good schedule and then played a good game on the team. He is a 1 9 1 3 man, so has two years more for the tennis team. The Season ' s Scores Denison 2 Otterbein 0, May 6 At Westerville. Adams vs. Crosby, 6-4, 7-5 Adams Hill vs. Crosby Nelson 6-3, 6-3.

Adams, the Captain of the team made his place for the third time, and with Manager Chester H. Hill formed a splendid combination. The season began with a meet at Westerville with Otterbein, Denison win- ning handily 2-0. This was Otterbein ' s first match in intercolle- giate tennis and Denison is given credit for having started Otter- bein in the sport. Upon the following Saturday Capital U. of Columbus sent a team here and they also met defeat 2- 1 . A week later Otterbein played a return match here and lost again by the same score. The next Thursday the team went to Dela- ware, where the Third Annual Intercollegiate Tournament was held. Besides Denison, Case, Oberlin, Miami, Kenyon, Wooster and Wesleyan were represented. Denison was placed in the lower half of the tournament with Kenyon, Wooster and Miami. Our boys lost to Miami and Wooster in the singles and to Ken- yon in the doubles. We held Kenyon to a better result than did Miami in the Finals. Kenyon and Miami won the tournament in doubles and singles respectively. The Indiana and Kentucky Champion Anthony was victorious from the Ohio Champion, Marty. Locally the season is a success whenever the weather per- mits. The courts belonging to the college Tennis Association were late in being fixed up and were never m very good shape. It IS useless to make good courts of these until final action is taken by the school, as to the ultimate use of the ground the courts now occupy. In accordance with the annual custom of the school, both a singles and doubles tournament was held; D. E. Reese, D. A. ' II being declared champion in the former winning from L. D. Scott, D. A. ' 13; 6-4, 10-8, 6-3; and O. p. Corwin, D. A. ' 11 holding the doubles title with Reese, winning from L. D. Scott and C. J. Scott ' 14, 6-4, 8-6, 6-3. Prizes of Ten- nis balls were awarded these winners from the money received as entrance fees. Tennis at Denison has secured a good footing and with proper care and the students ' support will become a great suc- cess. Its intercollegiate phase is too entirely a matter of individ- ual excellence and conference rules, but locally the sport is in hearty favor. The outlook for next year ' s team is bright and bespeaks the hearty support of every man in the university. 109 I Athletic Association The Athletic Association of Shepardson was organized No- vember 20, I 909. Miss Nell Chase, the physical director of the college, devoted much time and energy to found the society, realizing its value in promoting interest in atheltics for girls. All students, alumnae and faculty of Shepardson are eligible for membership. The constitution provides for a president, vice- president and secretary, to be elected from the three upper classes. and the treasurer to be the Shepardson physical director. The executive board consists of the Dean of the college, the officers, a member from the Freshman class and one from the preparatory classes. The association has been of great benefit to the college, encour- aging all sorts of athletics. In the fall and spring tennis is the main interest, though archery and cross-country running are pop- 110 ular with a few. Swimming is an exercise enjoyed by all and several times a week the sounds from the direction of the gym indicate that the pool is in use. During the winter months basket- ball is the favorite sport and every girl in school at some time or other tries her hand at the game. There are many opportunities for enjoyment as well as improvement in connection with Doane Gymnasium. Perhaps one of the chief attractions of the gym is the director. Although this is her first year with us, Miss Teeple has won an enviable place in the hearts of the girls. Ability in athletics is always a quality greatly admired and when that ability is joined to a charming personality and broad interests, the combina- tion is irresistible. If any one wants help or sympathy, they are sure to find it if they go to Miss Teeple. It is largely due to her that so much interest has been taken in athletics this year, and she is surely a great help to the association. Every fall, m order to interest the new girls and to revive the enthusiasm of the older ones, the Athletic Association gives a party in the gym. No particular custom is followed, except that the affair is strictly informal. This last fall every girl in school was invited to attend a Farmers ' Kids party and every one turned out in true rural attire. The gym was decorated with cornstalks and pumpkin faces, so that every young Hiram, Si or Mirandy would feel quite at home. Burton, King and Stone Halls each gave a stunt, after which a prize was given the girl who had shown the greatest skill in the difficult art of making pumpkin faces. Then country refreshments were served in a true farmer style and every one left, enthusiastic for the Athletic Association. Ill Basket Ball Basketball is everywhere a popular game and Shepardson College is no exception. Practice begins in December and lasts until the last of March. The regular games start after Christmas, the first one usually being between town girls and a Sem team. Each class has a team, including the preps, and a schedule is arranged among them. After the teams are chosen the managers are kept busy getting people out to practice, though usually the girls show their class loyalty by going out for practice, even if they are not on the teams. - When the games begin there is much good natured class rivalry shown. Each class gives a stunt of some kind before the first game to arouse enthusiasm for its team. The team that finally wins out in the most games wins the championship banner, which hangs in the gym and is an incentive to work. This year, last year, and for the two years preceding the class of 1913, had their numerals on the championship ban- ner. They won every game played and the juniors forfeited their ' Tame to them. The prep-sophomore game was one of the best of the season, though there was considerable fouling. The sophs won by a score of 1 4 to II. The freshmen came next in line for the banner, losing only the game to the sophomores. They played well, hut were no match for the sophomores and lost 20 to 2. The senior-sophomore game resulted in a score of 18 to 7 in favor of the sophs. Another good game was that between the freshmen and preps, the two teams being very evenly matched. The freshmen finally won, 9 to 7. The juniors had hard luck all season and lost every game. The sophomores were fortunate in having a team that had played together before, and consequently showed excel- lent team work. This team was composed of Minnie Tight, forward; Edwyl Redding, forward; Ann Zollars, center; Laura Prouty, guard; Ruth Adler, guard, and Emma Rose, sub. Nelson Rupp coached all the teams and acted as referee at the games. He proved a very efficient coach and an impartial referee. At the end of the season class numerals were presented ' to each girl that played in three halves of games, and to the man- agers of each team. An all-Shepardson team was chosen from all the players in school and each one presented with an S at this time. This team, of course, never plays together but it ' s quite an honor to be chosen as one of the five. Il2 All-Shepardson Left Forward Lydia Buckland Right Forward Edwyl Redding Center Rachel Jones Left Guard Joy Tracy Right Guard Laura Prouty Lydia Buckland. — Lydia won her place on the Shepardson team by her good basket-shooting and by playing the floor well. She is quick and can hold her own with the next one. Tacks understands the game thoroughly. Her pass work and handlmg of the ball were very good. She plays left forward on the Prep team and is the backbone of that team. Edwyl Redding. — Edwyl was a steady player and never let anything excite her. She was at the right place at the ' right time and was an exception in shooting the basket. She ' is rather tall and has the reach over the majority of girls, which is a big factor in a girls ' game. Her team work and judging of passes was good. Edwyl played the position of right forward and is a good mate to Lydia. asket-Ball Team Rachel Jones. — Rachel played center and outjumped almost every girl she came up against, which aids greatly in the working of signals. Center is the hardest position to play on a basketball team and Rachel played a star game all the time. Her reach was above the average and she was able to put the ball in the basket whenever the opportunity came. Joy Tracy. — Joy played at left guard and was one of the mainstays of the senior team. She was one of the smallest girls on the team but quick and as plucky as can be found. She was exceptionally good at breaking up passes and always held her forward down to very few baskets. Joy is steady and knows how to use her head at the decisive moment. Laura Prouty. — Laura plays right guard and has the strength and ability to go up against any one. By her hard work and interest in the game, as well as by her star playing, she aided her class to win the championship. Laura is wonderful in breaking up pass work and keeping her forward from making baskets. She is always in the game, playing her hardest and putting up a plucky game for 1913. ADA ELLIS MARIE HATTERSLEY EMILY COLWELL In the spring there are few who do not get the tennis fever when the courts are first rolled and marked, for they look much more inviting than the pages of Livy, Goethe or Genung. Every hour of the day balls can be seen rolling aimlessly over the campus and shouts of serve, love-fifteen or thirty-all dis- turb those studiously inclined. The final tournament is held on Carnival Day, and as the season advances the girls practice hard for the preliminary matches. Single matches are held, and doubles, in which each class competes. The winner of the pre- liminaries, both the singles and he doubles, play off the matches n the tournament. In the finals of the doubles Harriet Haggard and Marie Hat- tersley, playing for the freshmen were defeated by Ada Ellis and Emily Colwell, for the juniors, in rather easy sets, 2-6, 3-6. Both of the freshmen played very good tennis, but were not a match for the juniors. Mabel Newton and Rachel Jones represented the seniors, Laura Prouty and Ada Roudebush, the sophomores, and Lois Davis and Lydia Buckland the preps, in the preliminary matches. In the final match Marie Hattersley won the singles from Laura Prouty. The score was 6-2 and 6-1. Both ;of these girls rep- resent the all-round athletic type and both play very good tennis, so the game was interesting. This was the second year that Slats has won the championship in tennis. Ada Ellis came third and. Lydia Buckland fourth in the contest for the cham- pionship. It is to be hoped that as great an interest will be taken in the tournament next year. The girls have the privilege of using two courts, which are kept in good condition when the weather per- mits, and afford excellent opportunity for practice. 114 Miss Dorothy Finch Archery Archery has been only recently introduced to Shepardson athletes. It is a sport that should grow very popular, however, for there are few more fascinating outdoor exercises. The bull ' s- eye makes a bright spot of color on the campus, and in pleasant weather the few lovers of the sport can be seen trying to per- fect their aim. The mark often proves elusive and the bow treacherous, so that only considerable practice can make perfect. There is evidence that real skill may be secured, if one only tries again and again, in several girls who handle their bows in such a way as to make even Robin Hood jealous. Such artists, however, are few and long sought after. ' The archery contest forms one of the events of Founder ' s Day and the regulation S is awarded the winner. Miss Dorothy Finch won the contest last year, competing against Miss Emily Spencer and Miss Rowena Smith. Miss Finch is very fond of the game and spends much time in practicing. Her work shows, too, that the time is by no means lost. She is doing all she can to arouse enthusiasm for the sport, which may some day become very popular. 115 Swimming Every year the girls of Shepardson have a chance to shov their abiHty as swimmers in the contest which is held in the pool in Doane gymnasium. Quite a number usually enter the con- test for all sorts of chances are given to show skill or speed. The pool is small and so does not afford an opportunity for dis- tance swims, but contestants are called upon to show their ability in diving, treading water, floating, swimming on the back, side stroke, swimming under water and racing. Competent judges decide on the winner by grading each contestant separately for each event and taking the average. Last year the contest was held in the spring and eight girls entered. Quite an audience gathered to see the fun, although there is little room for spectators around the swimming pool, so those who were courageous enough to watch the contest did so at the imminent risk of drowning. Some of the girls, trying to dive, and lacking the grace of Annette KelLerman, went down into the water with such thuds that they gave the spectators un- expected shower-baths, which did not add greatly to their com- fort. Treading water was very amusing, to those looking on, at least, but the race was a mere farce on account of the short dis- tance across the pool. Some of the girls, very competent m one thmg, fell short m others, and so lost out in the final count. Ann Zollars, ' 13, an excellent swimmer, got first place and was presented with an S. Alma Brumback came second, with Laura Prouty third. 116 Miss Ann Zollars Founders Day Once more, on May 27, the sun dawned brightly for Shep- ardson Founders ' Day, and very early every girl was doing her part in beautifying the campus and dorms. The result came up to the usual pleasing standard and by 2:30 everything was ready to receive the many guests. The first thing was the tennis match between Marie Hattersley, who represented the freshman class, and Laura Prouty, repre- sentative of the sophomores. It was an interesting game, for both girls played well, but as the first two sets were won by Miss . Hattersley, the third set was not played. Next came the prep Irish Lilt, followed by the archery con- test, which was won by Dorothy Finch. The freshman hoop dance was one of the prettiest ever given at Denison. The girls were dressed in differnt colors, with a hoop to match, thus giving a rainbow effect. One of the dances, which differed from the rest, was given by the juniors. It was a Japanese dance, and showed much work on the part of the girls. Then the mighty seniors approached, in caps and gowns, for the hoop race. This started near the gymnasium and ended on the other side of the campus, near Broadway. Claire Fifield proved herself the best runner and, much to the surprise of her friends, ran in a straight line. The usual sophomore May-pole dance was given by sixteen of the girls, dressed in white. The Denison color scheme was carried out by the red and white streamers. After this. Dean Loveridge presented the prizes to the different winners and the championship tennis banner, which went to the junior class, accompanied by a box of candy from Casey. Marie Hattersley received a prize racket for the tennis singles. A Denison banner and S was awarded Ann Zollars, who had won the swimming contest the week before. The class tennis representatives received numerals for their work. The afternoon was ended by a real Shepardson grand march, led by the faculty. Each class wore something to distinguish them and the effect was very pretty. In the evening a program was given in Recital Hall, which was enjoyed immensely. Miss Cox and the Glee Clubs sang, after which Dean Loveridge said a few words in appeciation of Mrs. Shepardson. The rest of the time was given over to Mr. and Mrs. Amor Sharp, of Columbus, who amply entertained the audience by their music. All had the privilege of meeting them at the reception afterwards in Stone Hall. Much of the days success was due to the committee: Marie Hattersley, Olive Jenkins, Marjorie Holden and Harriet Hag- gard, who, in the absence of Miss Chase, had charge of the day ' s program. Shepardson voted to them their sincerest appreciation. 117 The Year In Doane Athletics The year, 191 1, for Doane Academy as for the college was undoubtedly the most successful all around athletic year in the schools ' annals. Besides indulging in new branches of athletics, Doane ' s regular teams surpassed themselves in their accomplishments. The football team that recently closed its season, deserves especial mention. An early defeat by Dela- ware H. S. caused the men to buckle down to hard work, so that the succeeding games proved to be reversals of the opener. Under Doc Rohrer ' s experienced hand and Captain Nelson Rupp ' s able leadership, a team was developed that any high school in the state would have been only too proud to own. Cambridge, East High of Columbus and Mt. Vernon High Schools fell before Doane in rapid succession. But the crown- ing glory of the year was the brilliant defeat of the much-touted Toledo High team, the would-be state champions. The preps went up there with a fine bunch of rooters, although it was gen- erally conceded that they could not win. But in spite of an overwhelming superiority in weight, the Doane cads just played rings around the purple and gold. To Captain Gadd is credited the victory, for by his long run the only touchdown of the game was made. None can doubt but that this was Doane ' s best team. Then there was that basketball team that also lost but one game and that only through the most doubtful rulings on the part of the Xenia officials. The regulars of this quintet. Captain Reese, Nelson Rupp, Horace Biggs, Chuck Mitchell, and Brub Bradford made as fast a combination as could be found in Ohio Interscholastic circles. All of these men played to- gether for two years and they had team work down to a fine point. The team lacked the height of the previous year, but made up for this shght deficiency by the splendid floor work of Rupp and Biggs, undoubtedly the best prep forwards in the state and the excellent guarding of Reese and Bradford, whose defence was a hard one to break thru. A glance at the team ' s record will show the reason why all but the largest high schools found it convenient to have all dates closed when Man- ager Wolcott requested a contract. Graduation will cut a big hole in this line-up for all but Rupp have played their last game for Doane, but the college will find in each of the other four a splendid man for Varsity material. Captain-elect Rupp has, however, a lot of excellent material in last year ' s scrubs and a lot of new men that came in last fall, which assures us that they will be able to make anyone hustle to beat Doane ' s time. Although this was but the second season that Doane had supported a track team, the showing made by the team was most extraordinary. Captain Mitchell called his men out early and some splendid material reported. Manager Deer soon got dates arranged with North H. S. of Columbus, the Freshmen and Interscholastics. Rupp in the sprints and Freeman in the pole- 120 vault were undoubtedly the stars of the season, both having made good performances in the big meet at Columbus. Cap- tain Mitchell in the hurdles. Deer in the mile. Biggs in the weights and Pratt in the half-mile all did good, consistent work, thruout the season and in Bartley and Ferris, the team has a pair of comers in the broad jump and sprints. The first meet was with North H. S. and the latter by virtue of a great superiority of numbers were able to enter fresh men in almost every event, whereas Doane had to double up in all the events; North won with a total of 61| 2-39 ' 2, Doane winning four firsts and eight seconds. The Freshmen also won from Doane, mainly thru the individual performances of Captain Phelps. But at the Interscholastics Doane outdid themselves. Nelson Rupp won the 1 00 and 220 yard dashes, breaking the Ohio Interscholastic record of the great Cooke of O. S. U. in the latter event. Then Deer walked away with the mile record and Freeman broke the old school mark in the pole-vault also scoring 3 points for D. A. Mitchell by hard luck was kept to a second in the high hurdles. As it was Doane scored 23 points and were second to their old rivals. North High. The Cads have a splendid right to be proud of their record in track. The baseball team worked all last year under the same difficulty that many another prep school thruout the state encoun- tered, a lack of good support and backing. A waning interest has a little to do with this, lack of finances some, and unfavorable weather by far the most. Track work is gaining the ascendency over baseball as the spring sport in the high schools and colleges everywhere now, and Doane is but falling in line. It was only with the very greatest of difficulty that Manager Mastellar could get dates and those only with little third-rate high schools in the vicinity. But the team showed a good line-up with Cap ' n Bradford holding down Short and Biggs and Scott for the battery. Cuder, Rupp and Reese covered the sacks in good form, while Mitchell, Ullman, Mastellar and Edmunds chased the high ones out of the garden. The team held good prac- tices bi-weekly with the ' Varsity team and both derived good benefit from it. And last, but not least, mention must be made of Tennis. Altho it does not pay the Academy Athletic Association to sup- port a team in this branch of sport, the preps have always main- tained a lively interest in it. In the championship tournament, from which the Varsity team generously stayed out, the preps were declared champions in both singles and doubles. These honors fell to Paul Corwin and Dave Reese in the doubles and to Reese in singles, quite an exceptional record. It is no wonder then that the preps exult over such a string of successes that can well deserve to be known as the best year in Academy Athletics in their five year history.

Previous to that time all Ohio colleges were represented by preps as well as Freshmen, and by their action, Dension was weakened along with other colleges, and a slump in athletics followed. Of course Doane teams up till then were an unknown thing. But the Cads had to find an outlet for their athletic prowess some- where and so in March of 1907 the first Doane Academy Athletic Association was formed with Phil Bradford, Pres., G. B. Williams, V. P., and Roy Jordan, Sec ' y, forming the first administrative staff. Practically the same system was adopted as had been found satisfactory in the college associa- tion and so a Board of Control consisting of Charles Warner, Carl Boyer, W. G. Spencer, R. Taylor and Prof. Woodward and Coons, was elected, and with but few minor alterations that same system is in force today. Finances to support their teams have always been insufficient with the preps and this in a large measure accounted for the great difficulty all prep managers ex- perienced in arranging inexpensive contests with teams that were in Doane ' s class. But the introduction of the new athletic fee exacted from all men, will to a great extent alleviate all these difficulties. Football was the first game adopted and backed up by the Academy Board, the first team being organized under the lead- ership of Captain Brainy Bowers, later of ' Varsity fame. The game here has increased steadily in popularity until today it is the best supported and most successful branch of athletics the preps have. The following year under Captain Goat Wat- kins and Manager W. C. Sweet, the team went thru a very fair season tieing Newark, Mt. Vernon and Cambridge and defeat- ing Columbus East, Zanesville and State Blind School. In the fall of 1 909 the team was late in starting, but after the elec- tion of Captain Shanks Heinrichs, the team was rounded into good shape by Coach Fat Van Voorhis, an old Denison star. This team closed their season with the record of having defeated Granville, 5-0; Newark twice, 5-0 and 12-0, and Coshocton twice, 20-0 and 5-0, tieing Mt. Vernon 6-6 here and losing the only game of the season up there, 16-0. In 1910 with Manager Cochran and Nelson Rupp as captain, Fat again turned out a fine aggregation. The opener with North High of Columbus was lost, but Coshocton, 81-0; Newark, 6-0 and 3-0; Mt. Ver- non, 28-0 and 1 1 -8, all bit the dust. Rupp was re-elected last fall to the captaincy of Doane ' s fifth football team, which ofP.ce he filled with his usual ability. The record of the 191 1 season is quoted on another page. It is indeed remarkable that the Academy Boys are able to turn out such splendid teams, consid- 126 ering the very limited supply of material they have from which to draw, there never havmg been a greater enrollment than 80 or 90, and today Doane academy may feel with pride that they have a reputation thruout the state which is to be maintained at all costs. It is to her basketball team that Doane owes much of her athletic reputation. The first team was organized under the lead- ership of Captain Boyce in the winter of 1 908. This team made a splendid record and developed two future Varsity stars, Bowers and Higgins. In 1909, H. H. Tracy was chosen by the board to lead the team and the five lost but three games out of ten. Captain Pete Prouty was boss in 1910 and he up- held the old records. This team won all of its ten games ex- cept a heart-breaker lost to the crack Steele High quintet. With most of the old men back and Dave Reese as captain, Coach Prouty was enabled to turn out what undoubtedly proved to be Doane ' s best team. This track bunch won 1 1 straight games and only lost one to Xenia thru the aid of the officials. And in basketball we can again truthfully say that Doane has every reason to be proud of her history. May it continue to be as suc- cessful in the future as it has been in the past. Baseball at Doane has been on the slump during the past two or three years. The first team representing Doane Academy was captained by A. Z. Stoner in 1907 and this was incidentally the first athletic team that ever represented Doane. In the lineup were found the names of Boyer, Miller, Bowers and Scootch White, all of them future Varsity players, but now past by. Goat Watkins led the next team in a season that ended with three victories and four defeats. Brub Bradford proved to 127 be a very skillful and worthy captain for two years. Doane has had and will have few who can equal Brad as a baseball player. Last season under him the team finished up with four victories and one defeat, a very good showing. The chief dif- ficulty with baseball at Doane is inclement weather and subse- quent wet grounds. Moreover, lack of finances and a waning of the spirit elsewhere, prevents the managers from securing games with any schools that are really in Doane ' s class in athletics. And finally in track, Doane ' s record is an enviable one. Wilfred Coe was Doane ' s first star track man, although he only heads the list. When a prep Coe was one of the mainstays of the Varsity team and in 1907 he set the prep record in the broad jump that stands today 5 inches better than his own col- lege mark of 21 ft. 7 in. Coesie ' s work since his prep days has been one long series of .successes. Shanks Heinrichs was Doane ' s next star performer. In the state Interscholastic meet in 1910 he set the record of 5 ft. 1 1.4 in. in the high jump, a mark that eclipses the state college record. Then there was last season ' s crack squad of performers. Nelson Rupp, who holds the state 220 yard interscholastic mark, and R. B. Deer, who holds the mile. Then also the list of medal winners. Deer, Mitch- ell, Freeman, Bartley and Tannehill, all are tracksters to whom Doane may point with pride and call her sons and upon some of whom she may call again for good work. The competition for places on Doane ' s two major spring teams takes about all the available athletic material that she has so that but little is left for tennis. Cross-country teams are not supported by other Ohio prep schools, so that it would be prac- tically useless for Doane to try to do so for the present at least, cumstance that can be seen from the fact that great numbers of Denison ' s best athletes have gone thru their apprenticeship in Doane Academy. Her past record has been indeed bright, the present prospects are brighter still and every one looks forward to the brightest of futures for Doane Academy athletics. altho she has always made a good showing in the annual College Cross Country run for the Interclass championship. But in these four branches of sport football, baseball and track, Doane ' s record thus far has been a most remarkable one. Its best services to the University lie in the discovery and after moulding and development of future ' Varsity material, a cir- 128 Physical Department The aim of the Physical Department of Denison is not of first importance to develop muscles or break records, but it is thought of first importance to develop and mamtam health of body and mind, develop manly strength, as well as promote the activity of the heart and lungs and to give steady nerves. Our aim is not to influence a few students, but the whole mass of students. The Physical Department includes all that pertains to the well- being, advancement, and culture of the body, underlying all as the legitimate outgrowth of bodily development and training through systematic exercise, and toward which every part of the body will contribute. Physical training is generally coming to be considered worthy of a place in the curriculum alongside the essentials, such as mathematics, Greek and Latin, and scientific attention is given to the physical welfare of the students. Health should take precedence of every other object. The time necessary to secure health by active exercise should be devoted to it in preference to every other pursuit. I know the difficulty with which a busy man tears himself from his studies at any given moment of the day; but his happiness depends on it. The most unenlightened mind with a healthy body is happier than the wisest valetudmarian with a weak body. Let no student deceive himself. The ab- sence of aches and pains, the possession of a good appetite and the ability to sleep well, to work hard and enjoy life without physical activity is not a state that exists forever. A large in- herited bank account that receives no deposits, but is constantly a subject to draft, may stand considerable overdrawing, but some day the check returns with the phrase across the face, NO FUNDS. The gymnasium represents the very essence of community life. Through its work, help, play and companionship it influ- ences and strengthens character toward the larger opportunities of life. It is a place where one is constantly brought into new relations; where encouragement becomes most lasting; where re- proof touches to the quick; where power is developed to think, to execute and originate, not through direction alone, but also through exercise; where order and discipline is upheld; where energy is stored and skill developed. The ability to jump 5 feet 8 inches high is not nearly as val- uable as is a good, healthy body. Athletics here at Denison is used primarily not to make big arms, large legs, and muscles as hard as knots, but is used to build up the body with firm muscles, not merely to make a splendid animal of the boy, but to make the body a fit place for the dwelling of the well-trained mind. Our idea is to put the body in that condition of healthful vigor that the student will not only do better work in his studies. 131 but will have a reserve fund of vigorous health and energy that will aid him to stand the stress of later years in business or pro- fessional life. The old idea that a young man should be sent to school merely to have his mind trained is quickly becoming obsolete and the trustees here at Denison are keeping pace with the times. Ample facilities are provided for the training of the body. A few words pertaining to the older members of Denison, that is, the faculty mem- bers. The question is askea : Why do these men need regular exercise? Because the internal affairs of a man ' s body are much more complex than mere class-room prob- lems and are in far greater danger of becoming congest- ed, for the mere simple rea- son that most faculty mem- bers will neglect the affairs of the body until, in many cases, it is too late to repair the in- jury done; his business affairs must necessarily come first. Business before health is his motto. Again, the routine of the average faculty member ' s daily life is such that if he expects to live out his alloted time and to enjoy even tolerable health, he must take more physical exercise than he gets in his vocation. He is found in the class room, spending long hours toiling over books, studying out new problems and experiments, usually eating of highly seasoned foods, spending the evemng still readmg or studying, and this is the extent of his muscular exertion, a condi- tion bordering on physical stagnation. If some faculty members would better them- selves a little and take enough exercise to keep the vital processes of the body in a healthful condition, there would be less demand for liver pills, headache powders and obesity belts. Denison has now a large faculty gym- nasium class and it is hoped that more of the members will take advantage of the opportunity offered them. W. J. Livingston. Calliope. Group I. H. R. Biggs, J. S.

Two years of work has established it as a permanent basis for all college literary effort. The growing in- fluence of Denison in state inter-collegiate contests of this kind necessitated such an organization. Colleges, such as Cincinnati, Wesleyan, Miami and Rochester, have been met in debate, and Denison has by no means suffered in comparison ; in fact, out of the last ten debates, she has won eight, which is a reasonable ground for pride in any college. ig and Oratory The members of this council are elected by the two college literary societies, two from each society; and these serve for two years, one member from each society retiring each year. The interest has been steadily growing, but much more must be done to place it where it ought to be at Denison. To this end the council is directing its attention and hopes before long to formulate some plans which will arouse more interest at Deni- son in this deserving and profitable branch of enterprise. H.

The college performance fills a special place in testing the student ' s grasp of his classics. Then, too, a great deal of true dramatic ability is latent in collegians, who having aimed at the romantic stage make a remarkable showing when placed behind the foot- lights. Commencement of 191 1, the senior girls, in their presentation of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, illustrated the ability of the student to act with real artistry. This wonderful old comedy, woven from the stuff o ' dreams can be most easily made ab- surd rather than poetic in the hands of amateurs. The girls of ' 11, however, showed imaginative grasp of the situations, very seldom marring the dainty, fanciful web and woof of the play. Mendelssohn ' s beautiful music added much to the fairy land of Queen Titania, together with the graceful evolutions of ten en- tirely winsome college girls who played her retinue. Surely none of us will forget the delightful grotesquerie of Miss Imogene Critchfield, who played Nick Bottom, the weaver. Shakespeare ' s ' inimitable satire upon the artisan turned artist never received a more unctuous rendering from one wholly an amateur. Miss Olive Jenkins, as Puck, made this little devil-may-care creature of wanton fairy wiles live in the flesh before her audience. Really the writer who has toiled through many a barren Shakespearean revival, which never revived — at the mercy of complacent college girl actors will always be grateful to Miss Jenkins and Miss Critchfield for that evening ' s surprise. The next important theatric event of the past year was Frank- lin Literary Society ' s Richelieu, in December of ' II. Bul- wer-Lytton ' s splendid old drama brings out well the swash- buckler concealed in the college man. Who of us is not de- lighted to cast aside the sober hued garments of to-day and to don the plume, the doublet and rapier? With the help of Miss Altje Cook and Miss Marion Ogden, who played Marion and Julie, the Franklin boys put on the best play ever given by m.en here for many a long day. Mr. Fred Wolf, ' 12, in the title role looked every inch the great cardinal ; nor did he destroy the illusion in the reading of his lines. Strength of mind, frailty of body, the lion and fox in the splendid old gentleman — the spirit which impatiently fretted the feeble clay — these qualities were nobly emphasized in Mr. Wolf ' s acting. Mr. Arthur Tuttle gave a svmpathetic touch to Joseph, making him the typical well-fed old hypocrite he is. The play itself moved climatically with its romantic, rather melodramatic situations until the very end, where the cardinal bestows life and death to our entire satisfaction. We would we had space to mention the good work of all the members of the cast, but can only say that the hero was as dashing, the villain as masterful, the king as futile as good Sir Edward could desire. In summing up the histrionic expression of Denison student actors for the past year, may we not ourselves make aflfirmation in the lines of the drama, a hit, a most palpable hit! 154 DRAMATIS PERSONAE OF RICHELIEU ' Louis XIII, King of France Mr. W.

Since its beginning, twenty-five years ago, it has grown to embrace practically all of the colleges of the country which stand for real Christian principle. Denison has been connected with this movement more or less directly from the very beginning. It was Dr. Ashmore, the grand old man of Denison, who made the speech at the Mt. Hermon student conference which inspired the beginning of this unique movement. Since then it has been a very potent factor in enlisting students for foreign mission work and in strengthen- ing their purpose. i it Denison has long been known as a missionary school. Her alumni are found in almost every land where this work has been carried. At present there are about twenty-eight Denison stu- dents enrolled as volunteers. The local band ranks about third in the state in numbers and among the first in activity. The meet- ings, which are held every week have been of great value to both members and outsiders in missionary education. 164 Denison University Glee Club K. R. Babb Director C. S.

Otto Engwerson. Since then the choral society of the community, has undergone several changes but has always kept high and disinterested ideals. For several years, under the direction of Arthur L. Judson, spring festivals were maintained on a large scale in Newark and Granville. With his departure for New York a reorganization became necessary and it was appropriate to take the name of Engwerson, as a token that the early work is perpetuated m the present. The society gives two main groups of concerts each year. Three annual performances of Handel ' s Messiah have been given at Christmas time, with the assistance of organ, the Denison orches- tra, and soloists of high rank. The last spring festival presented three concerts, with Haydn ' s Creation, the St. Paul Symphony Orchestra and six solo artists as chief attractions, together with serious selections by the college glee clubs and local soloists. In addition, the University Commencement Concert has been twice presented by the Society, with Conservatory soloists. For financial support the Society relies in great part upon the subscriptions of associate members and patrons, who, in return, receive certain advantages in securing seats. This spring a per formance of the operetta Pinafore is planned to further benefit the treasury of the Society. A chorus has recently been established in Newark with John M. Priske as conductor, and it is likely that others will be founded as branches of the Society with local organizations, all to co-op- erate in the production of concerts, thus assuring greater re- sources of every kind, and a broader field of opportunity. 170 The Gl. In addition to the more serious musical activities of college and town there has probably always been considerable informal sing- ing and serenading, not always properly appreciated, if the early college papers and other records are to be trusted. The attempts were sporadic, however, and the two present organizations are quite recent. The Denison Glee Club is said to have been founded in 1 902 by Arthur L. Judson, and was subject to the control of the Con- servatory Faculty together with the Mandolin Club until 1906, .when an independent organization was effected. Since that time the successive leaders have been T. J. Bolger, J. W. Beattie, J. H. Thomas, C. W. Thomas, F. E. Wolf, K. H. Eschmann and K. R. Babb. The work of the club has been steadily advanced, usually coached to some extent by a representative of the Voice Department, and the range and quality of selections has improved. The number of concerts and the distance traveled has also in- creased each year, and the club has met with flattering receptions. The itinerary of the club for the present season includes New- ark, Massillon, Cleveland (three concerts), Zanesville, Wash- ington C. H., Cincinnati, Wilmington, Coshocton, Coraopolis, Pa., Pittsburg, Delaware, Xenia, Indianapolis (two concerts), Chicago (three concerts), Joliet, Detroit, Toledo (two con- certs), Marion and Columbus. For the home concert on March 22 a very pleasant departure was made m havmg the Ohio Wes- leyan Club appear jointly. Besides the usual glees and lighter numbers, with quartet selections in comic vein, the club has in- 171 Clubs eluded larger works m its repertory, such as Grieg ' s Landsight- ing, which was sung at the music festival last sprmg. In 1905 the Eurydice Club was organized from the young women of the university by Miss Blinn, then head of the voice department. The name Shepardson Glee Club was soon substi- tuted, and the organization grew rapidly in strength and in merit. Mrs. Wil son was next director, and the personnel of the club and its stability of purpose became such that it was possible after her departure to place the whole organization in the hands of its mem- bers. Miss Marion Rose was made director, and was re-elected for the present year. Besides presenting its annual concert in May the club has broadened its scope by appearing at three of the festivals of the Engwerson Choral Society and at a members ' concert of the Columbus Women ' s Music Club, giving modern cantatas of ambitious proportions. Among the larger productions of the club have been Bendall ' s Lady of Shallott, Hadley ' s Legend of Granada, Ware ' s Sir Oluf, and Debussy ' s Blessed Damozel. The policy of the club has never included concerts away from home, but this season, in addition to the appearance at Columbus, last No- vember, a concert in Newark is planned, with a repetition of the home program. There is no doubt that both clubs occupy a prominent place in Denison affairs, and by constituting for many students their only link with the musical activities of the community, they effectively further musical and artistic interests, without which a college is sadly lacking. Miscellaneous Organizations Scientific Association SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President Prof. Theodore S. Johnson Vice President Prof. Carl Paige Wood Secretary JuHa S. Moore Treasurer Prof. Forbes B. Wiley Librarian Prof. M. E. Stickney Permanent Secretary . .Dr. Frank Carney The Scientific Association was founded April 1 6, 1 887, for the purpose of stimulating interst in scientific subjects and for affording an opportunity for interchange of ideas. The associa- tion celebrates this year its twenty-fifth anniversary. Many men of science, of whom Denison is so justly proud, have been mem- bers of this association. Each scientific department is represented m the sections of the associations and papers and reports are presented throughout the year on various subjects. Many of the papers are accounts of research work done in the University. Under the auspices of the society a library is maintained which contains files of all the important scientific publications of the world. Under the direction of the permanent secretary the so- ciety publishes from time to time The Bulletin of the Scientific Laboratories of Denison University, which contains the theses and reports of research work done in a scientific way in the Uni- versity. The publication exchanges with many other publications and has done much to establish the scientific prestige of Denison. The meetings which are held on alternate Tuesdays through- out the year are well attended and interesting. J. D. Thompson, Jr., O. B. Kirk, M. K. Read, H. H. Martin, T. M. Patrick. J. W. Wolfe, F.

The Engineering Society The formation of the student technical society is to give atten- tion to particular phases of scientific subjects, to have this work done by students under the supervision of their instructors and to arouse interest in the subjects discussed. The Engineering So- ciety is such an organization. Composed of those members of the student body who are interested in engineering subjects or are looking forward to such a career, its aim is to present these sub- jects in an interesting and instructive way to its members. Monthly meetings throughout the year are devoted to various phases of engineering work such as Bridges and Bridge Building, Mining, Sanitary and Electrical Engineering. At these meetings papers are presented and discussed. A large number of current engineering periodicals and standard books are available for this purpose. 1 c ■ L The yearly Engineering Supper is held by the Society where technical subjects are laid aside and the niembers devote them- selves to social pleasures. The purpose is to keep before the members a high standard of work, a live interest in the subject and a mutual personal acquaintance and friendship. 176 T. M. Patrick, W. S. White. L. N. Moore, W. W.

The Chemical Society The history of chemistry in Denison has been short but ex- ceedingly intensive and growth along chemical Imes, both in numbers and efficiency, has been almost phenomenal. Until within the last ten years the subject was taught with more or less success in connection with other branches. Later it was raised to the dignity of a department but its real growth dates from the fire in Science Hall in 1905. At that time when the tide of chemical interest seemed to be at its lowest ebb — when every piece of apparatus had been destroyed — when there were neither laboratories nor regular class-rooms — chemistry suddenly re- ceived an impetus that has increased with each succeeding year until now the chemistry department ranks second to none in the University. ' The reason for this rapid and steady growth is perfectly nat- ural. Men interested in all lines of economic and sanitary reform awoke to the fact that their interests were closely bound up with those of chemistry and sent forth an urgent call for skilled chem- ists. Denison, quick to grasp the situation, lost no time in pro- viding both equipment and teachers necessary to train students for practical and efficient service along industrial lines. The Chemical Society is an outgrowth of the desire to make such training all that it should be. The society was organized in the fall of 1 909 with ten charter members. The membership has more than trebled itself since that time and the society is in a most prosperous condition. Meetings are held on the first Wed- nesday of every month and the programs are arranged with a view to practical value. The society is purely a student organiza- tion and some of its most delightful and helpful programs have been lectures by former students who have returned to relate actual experiences in active chemistry life. 177 « The Boosters ' Club Professor Goodell, late in the fall of 1910, conceived the plan of having a committee from the student body that would further the interests of Denison in the communities that were already represented here. In order to get as representative a committee as possible he suggested that the literary societies each appomt two men, and that each of the fraternities appoint one man to meet with the four men from the literary societies. In this way the committee was made up and is still so formed. In each of the communities that were represented in Denison one student was appointed leader and all the other students com- ing from that district gave to the leader the name of anyone who was considering attending college. In this way a much larger number of prospective students could be reached. This year we have an enrollm.ent greatly exceeding that of past years, and un- doubtedly no small part of the credit lies with the Booster ' s Club. So Professor Goodell ' s plan was successful. What the Boost- er ' s Club will accomplish in the future remains to be seen ; but if it is judged only by its past we shall have here a greater and better Denison than we have now, if such a thing be possible. The Booster ' s Club has not confined itself to bringing more students to Denison ; it has busied itself along other lines as well. It was through the instrumentality of this organization that the official Denison pin was adopted, and it will be only a short time until the little red-and-white-triangle D pin will be known and recognized by all who see it. The officers of the committee are two: S. W. McClelland, President, and F. M. Derwacter, Secretary. 178 Boosters ' Club Officers of Alumni Associations CHICAGO Samuel B. Brierly. 75 President Paul S.

Student ( The girls of Shepardson College have had the privilege of student government since 1904, when Dean Barker decided that the girls were capable of governing themselves. At first its jurisdiction was limited, but almost every year some new phase has been included, so that now the greater part of the conduct of the girls lies within the supervision of this association. The work of the association is carried on by various councils or departments. The House Council consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary and five other members elected from the student body, all of whom are representative students. This council has charge of conduct in the various halls. Then of course on each floor in each hall are proctors who have special duties. The Street Council has existed since 1 908 and has charge of street government. This council consists of six girls chosen by the faculty; all of its measures have to be ratified by the Dean. Since 1910 the association has had authority in governing the dining hall. The head of this department is the Vice President, while each table has its own monitor. We feel that not only is the standard of our school raised by having this system of government, but among the girls themselves it seems a loftier and more womanly idea to have such a plan of discipline, rather than one entirely controlled by the faculty.

Some More of Them. And Still Some More. JOHN L. GILPATRICK, PH. D. JAN. 12, 1845 MARCH 28, 1912 IN MEMORIAM The one man whom more Denison students have known than any other in the history of the college is gone. In 1878, four years after Prof. Gil had taken his place as Professor of Mathematics and Physics, Ebenezer Thresher reported to the Board that the entire properties and endowments of the institution amounted to $296,775. During the span of his professorship, he has seen this mcreased by a full million in invested funds and material equipment, and has had the satisfaction of knowing that his own labor and counsel had contributed effectively toward thai growth. The attendance, too, has grown until during the last ten years of his life the graduating classes had averaged seven to eight times as large as the average for the ten years preceding his coming; and in that numer- ical growth, also, he had important part. But while he had wrought himself into this bodily growth of the college, he had become a still more pervading part in the mental and moral structure of the hundreds of students who have sat in his class-room, and met him on the campus, and in his home, and in the Sunday School and prayer meeting, and at uncounted places all over the State of Ohio, during the last thirty-eight years. Just a few of the older Alumni have possibly never met him, but the number is indeed very small. He was a man into whose makeup went strong traits of individuality. The average student has an unlimited capacity for forgetting the mathematics, or any other study, which the teacher may elucidate in his presence, but hopeless indeed would be the memory of the man who could ever forget his hours in the rlass-room of Professor Gilpatrick. We take the following paragraph from an article by Professor Johnson in the Granville Times: He had known for some time that the sudden end which came last Thursday morning was a possibility of any moment. President Hunl had urged him to try the effect of a complete rest, but he chose otherwise. Apparently he had made up his mind that no permanent security of health could be found in any case, and preferred active service to an idleness which gave no substantial promise of further service to follow. He had just arranged for a trimming and spraying demonstration in his orchard, by agents of the Ohio Agricultural College, and on Thursday morning he went into the printing office and wrote an invitation to the farmers of the community to be present. He then saw men who were to do some work at his house that afternoon, attended to other matters of business, and went to Newark to consult his physician. Dr. Mitchell. On entering the office he sank into a chair with only a word or two and became unconscious. Vigorous efforts to revive him were at once made, but death was almost immediate. And if death was to come, who that knew him well will think that such an end would have seemed unsatisfactory to him, — to be found, when called, at the post of duty. And this we clip from a tribute by Dr. Francis W. Shepardson: Granville has lost a helpful, interested and aggressive citizen. It would be hard to discriminate between the college and work for the com- munity, if one were to seek a line of separation in Prof. Gil ' s career. From the beginning of his residence he was active in movements for Gran- ville ' s advancement. He played his full part in local politics, accepting service where it seemed needed for the improvement of the town. He was one of the progressives who pushed the water works system, the electric light plant and the new public school building over two decades ago. He was a powerful aid in the fight for the barring of the saloon from Granville. He was active in religious matters, always ready for responsibility in church and Sunday school. No educational cloisters kept him remote from his fellow men. He heard the call to public service, and he put the best oi his life into Granville for Granville ' s growth. 229 Adytum Calendar 1911 MARCH Thursday, 16.

I also want to post the public as to a certain teacher who is circulating lies concerning this house, the teacher claims that she paid $185 on a piano and I took it from her, this is an absolute lie. The teacher did get a piano from this house, and paid only $12 in two years, and lied from time to time in order to hold the piano as long as she did, then at the end of two years I had to replevy it in order to get it back, I leave this to the good people of Granville to decide for themselves as to who was mistreated, a liar is the worst thing on earth.

And Hopkins said unto Biggs: This room upon the second floor of Burton Hall is full of emptiness. Take thou therefore a vessel of gal- vanized iron and place in it. And thou shalt enamel it without and within with enamel. And this is how it shall be made; the length of the vessel four cubits, the breadth two cubits, and the depth thereof one and one-half cubits. And two holes shalt thou make in the vessel; one in the top as long and as broad as the vessel itself, and one in the bottom for drainage purposes, which shall have connection with a pipe. For behold, there shall come floods of water into the vessel and this hole and pipe shall be kept open. Then shall the floods descend into the pipe, and thou and thy charges in Burton shall not suffer by it. And Biggs did all that Hopkins had commanded. Then there came unto it great floods of water by day and by night for many days, and it did not prevail against the occupants of Burton. Finally, on the fifteenth day of the first month, in the evening, the faucet was opened, and the waters poured forth on the face of the vessel.

TANNEHILL, Prop. Estimates Cheerfully Given Mulberry St., Granville, O. and increased greatly. One and one-half cubits upward did the waters pre- ail and the top of the vessel was covered. And every living thing that moved in the halls of Burton became dis- turbed and was sore troubled. Two by two they came forth from their rooms on all the floors and shrieked some ten, some twenty, and some an hundred fold. It was then about the thirteenth hour. Then Wilson, when he heard the ringing of the telephone, remembered Burton and its inmates. He passed through the deep and the waters were assuaged. The fountains of the deep and even the faucet were stopped and the floods restrained. And the waters returned off the floors continually, and after the end of fifteen minutes the waters decreased in the vessel. Says Wilson, How came this to be? Dicit Dean, Why, can ' t you see. The water forced the faucet to lose quite its gripe Then washed the plug out into the pipe. Thought Wilson — thought gravely — and then shook his head. Musing, some girl turned the faucet and then went to bed. And it came to pass that after Wilson had departed the doors opened, and Dean, seeing that the waters had receded, called those that were with her in Burton down from their litde Ararats. And it came to pass that in the sixth hour the waters were dried up from off the walls and the floors. And Dean removed the rugs from off the floors, and behold, the rugs were dry. Then Wilson spake to Dean and all those that were with her m Bur- ton saying, Be thou careful about leaving the plug in the hole at the bottom of the vessel. And Dean spake to her charges, saying, Behold, I establish this covenant with you, that the waters shall never overflow this vessel again. When you see the hands of the clock in this position: the one, that marks the hours, at nine, and the one, that marks the minutes, at twelve, then shalt thou remember the flood of waters, and shall, under no consideration, after that time, open the faucet and allow the water to run into the vessel.

Shortly afterwards, in an ex- amination, this question was propounded: Give an example of the effect of geographic environment upon an animal ' s development. The cows above referred to were cited in several papers.

We would suggest that Prof. Pence study the art of punctuation. Mr. Currin, on his way down the hill, with a large tin bucket, ventured the remark: This is the most slippery weather I ever saw. At this precise juncture, terra firma slipped from beneath his feet, and the bucket fell with a clatter. Mr. Currin gracefully arose and calmly remarked: That merely confirms the truth of my statement. Mrs. Rose noticed one day last fall that one of her overshoes was missing. Shortly afterward Prof. McKibben appeared at her door, car- rying the missing article carefully between his thumb and forefinger. In a sad tone, he explained: Mrs. Rose, I regret very much to inform you that I found this article in James ' s boudoir. James, desist!

Man comes into this world without his consent, and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings by the balance of the species. In his infancy he is an angel; in his boy- hood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a fool; if he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief, and then the law raises the devil with him; if he is a poor man, he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich, he is dishonest but considered smart; if he is in politics you can ' t place him, as he is an undesireable citizen; if he goes to church, he is a hypocrite; if he stays away from church he is a sinner and damned; if he donatesto foreign missions, he does it for show, if he doesn ' t, he is stingy and a tightwad. When he first comes into the world, everybody wants to kiss him; before he goes out, they will want to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age, he is simply in the way and living to save funeral expenses. This life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same. Expert P ipe Re pairin g We B le nd Our Own Smoking Mixtures We carry the renowned Own B. B. B.

Credit for changing the possibility of owning a really great piano from an air castle to actuality is due to the brilliant constructive force creating Cost of production is so absolutely under control at the vast Baldwin plant that it is possib le to present the highest artistic value at a price in which fancy profit plays an invisible part.

This painting represents the lake gleaming in the sunset glow, and we consider it beautiful. But the artist does not like that picture now, and regrets the fact that we have it.

He decided to think the matter over for a day. Though Still — well he was no longer Young, and his friends, seeing that he looked somewhat Haggard, persuaded him to go to Swetland where the Hunt was always good, and the Fisher could not wish for Moore. Here, too, the Rose would be in bloom, and the Sweet note of the Finch would give him pleasure. The Morrow saw the King upon his way far from the Noyes of the city, and where the Dull sound of the Mills could no longer reach his ears. With him, besides a few friends, were his cook, and the Stout old But- ler who had served him so Long. The journey was harder than they had thought, and though an occa- sional Deer was obtained for food, the Woods were full of more savage beasts. The Wolf and the Fox were very annoying, and the night before, the roar of the Lyon had Pierce (d) their ears and they began to fear the Worst, The only weapons which would be of use to them were some knives which the Cutler had wrapped in some Sachs and placed among their baggage. But this part of the baggage had been lost. So they started to run, going Southall the while, until they came to a Pond in which thev were all drowned.
