HISTORY OF THE ADYTUM IN I 882 the Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi fraternities, the only ones then existing in Denison, realizing the need of an annual for our University, published the Adytum, containing a history of that year. The editorial gives the follow- ing cause for the publication: Many of our students possess qualities of mind or peculiarities of disposition that are eminently worthy of some sort of mention. Another cause leading to the enterprise was the need of representing some- where those organizations and all the different phases of college life which were not touched upon in any other college publication. Before the second number was issued Phi Gamma Delta organized a chapter here and the Adytum of 1884 was published by the three fraternities with J. E. Andrews as editor in chief. Three numbers were published by the fraternities, then in 1893, The Adytum was taken over by the Senior class of Granville College. In 1900, Shepardson College was represented on the board of editors. In 1902, the task of getting out the annual was given to the Junior class and from this time it has been handled by them. Until I 899, the book appeared irregularly, but since has been published annually. The Adytum has grown from a small, unpretentious, paper-bound book, containing only characterizations and etchings, to a book of which any Den- isonian may well be proud. Besides representing the many phases of college life, the Adytum contains numerous specimens of art and literature contributed by class-mates. The annuals of our four years at Denison remind us that — Our days with thee were days of pleasure And days we ever shall revere ; Those days and joys we ' ll ever treasure And give to thee our hearty cheer.

Page Seven Denison Universil]}, Cranville, Ohio At first the curriculum of our college embodied the studies of Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, with a smattermg of English, a little Philosophy, mental and natural. Such studies as these were the walls, pillars, and the roof of every higher educational mstitution m that day. In 1 866 the study of modern languages was introduced, closely followed by the introduction of Zoology and Geology. The rapid expansion of scientific lines of activity and research and the increased endowment, led to a division of the chair of Natural Sciences, with that of Geology and Natural History occupied by Professor Hicks, and Chemistry and Physics. We find also in the curriculum, a professorship of History and Political Science, one for Botany, and another for Civil Engineering. Taking a retrospect of the last seventy-five years, we find a revolution wrought in almost every activity of life. But when we turn to the educational world, to the college world, we observe our almost incredible advance. And to make the observation, we need go no farther than the limits of our own institution.
