The gathering of material for this volume has been the thought that loomed uppermost in our mind whether on the cam pus, foot-ball ground, sitting under the piercing glance of the faculty,or modestly sitting in chapel, in the drawing room, in the society hall or striving to satisfy the pangs of hunger by eating boarding house steakg we have consulted all persons from the fat Alumni to the weak kneed Prep, the windy Fresh- man, the rattling bones of the Sophomore and have been in- spired by mighty Seniors in our midst.

Jove. rising from his throne, holding his sceptre in his hand, addresses the council of divinities thus: Ohl Gods of heav'n and earth. 1've summoned thee To hear from one and all, these wondrous tales Of a new race-more powerful 'tis said, Than any other is or 4.-'er hath been. For men before have striven among themselves, Nor ever dared to rival with the Gods Of high Olympus here. Not so, t'.1is race, With one look conquering man, by art and craft They seek from our high thrones us to depose, And in our places here themselves to sit. But speak! Faint rumors only have I heard, And now the truth I feign would from thee hear. Minerva, rising, advances and kneeling before Jove. says: Ohl Jove, Great Father of ns all and King, Right well I know about this new found race, For, worshiped for my wisdom have I been By every race in every age and land, Ere this new people came, and in their words Such thought they breathed, that I from my high pl Must step aside, I fear. One joy alone Have I, for 'mong this people womankind Holds equal power with man, unlike those states H68 , , .N..,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,,.i,.,, ,...,, lc of the Gods. Which erst have been and made a woman but A slave. And so, thot I, the Goddess great Of wisdom, skill and thought, must bow my head, Resign my sceptre and my throne to them, I yet Shall know a Goddess here as well as God, In my old place shall reign. - Mare, Minerva having finished, stands forth and thus he speaks: Ye Gods and Goddesses do all well know. That me no man in strife has ever met, And lived to see another day. But now, This people in a land beyond The sea, more powerful than me themselves Have shown to be. The people round about, More than my 'proach, these strong young men do fear, Who even in their games unconquered a1'e. Oh! Gods that I should live to see the day When man, weak mortal as he is, should me In battle scorn. My head in shame must bow, And I before this race must in defeat Stand forth and show the world a conquered God. Ile steps aside and from their ranks comes one, and thus speaks Apollo: . Among ye, Gods, I e'er have been the one Sweet songs to sing and lines to say, sweet As honey from far famed Ilymettns brought. All men to me did look, who would feign sing, Or on their harps sweet harmonies would play. But now, alas! My voice must e'er be hushed -20- This race of which we all do speak, great power Has shown as well in art, as war or thought, Among their number there is one whose lines Do breathe of softest winds and fairest flowers, As well as man's deep thoughts and deeper loves. To this one, not alone tho'. must I yield. Another is, whose songs are like the birds, Which gush forth from the heart, unasked, unsought, And soothe the restless, weary hearts of men. ' And so, twice vanquished do I stand, a. singer Well out-sung, a poet none will love. As he pauses, the fairest Goddess rises, and thus they are addressed by Venus: Oh! Gods, ye oft have told me, I alone Could turn men's thoughts to love. For am I not More beautiful than ever woman was? Did not the youth from far Mount Ida brought To me the golden apple wisely give, Which Discord said was for the fairest one? And now this people me have scorned, and now The lover seeks not my enchanting help To win for him the fair young maid. My grief is more to me than yours to ye, For of the mind and body yours, while mine Is of the heart. And I, fair Venus, now Must also yield my place, for Cupid e'en lIas left me for this new found race of men. Weeping, she withdraws, and with a mournful look steps forth Bacchus: The God of wine and revelry am I, My worship hath been far and wide o'er earth. No feast could be, unless that I were there, 2 No dance, no joy, no mirthsome gayety. And now this people have their feasts and I Am banished quite. Indeed, no one without Their charmed number is received, and those Who, jealous, would these revels strive to cease, Are scorned, outwitted in their trial and left Without with me. who now, by this same race Must say that I am banished for all time. When he is finished, an old man with hoary locks steps forth and thus laments Tempus: Oh! Gods, among your highest rank, I ne'er Have stood, and yet! to me ye all did bow, Who in my grasp did hold the hours of each. When I was gone. then dids't ye rightly know Your power was gone, your life, your fame, your all. But now a race is known, which shall be known Thro'out my life, yea more, for sure 'tis said The fame of their good deeds shall even last When all is gone, and even time is past. The old man ceases and as a silence, broken only by the wind falls upon them, thus speaks Jove: , Ah! well, ye faithful friends, have ye me told The deeds of this strange people on the earth, And when I hear it all, I know that I, E'en I, great king of heaven and earth must yield. And we shall be forgot when this new race Of kings and queens shall rule. So let us each Of this dear mount a last farewell now take, And ily away to seek a quiet place Beyond the reach of Drake's great '96. fliweunt omnes 1 Zff , 1 I' ,Y WW 1 'X XXX I 54 W, l 3 If . f g . - J x 3 ,. 1 , sf' ' X , W ., , A S 1.41, ' ,., .

In the course of half an hour, still more tired and weary than when he left the train, he arrived on the campus. He knew the meaning of a shade tree, and being considerably in the notion of rest- ing, he sat down in the shade of the old elm tree at the corner of the university building. Here he could see the smiling faces of the students as they passed along the walk to and from the buildingg here once in a while he could catch a glance of one of those great men, namely, a member of the faculty, here he could see the college girls. and, oh, how his heart did throb as his mind wandered back lo Sunday night and the fair one: here he could hear the leaves rustling as they were kissed and caressed by the autumnal zephyrsg here he could hear the birds singing as gaily as they did in the old apple orchardg here he could reflect, plan, rest and observe. This somewhat soothed his tired feelings, but sitting under the elm was not storing up mountains of knowledge, as he hoped to do in a few days. The same day a very wise person, a Sophomore, arrived on the same train. As he had not come far he was not very tired, and looked about one-tenth as a Sophomore feels. He took the street carg went to his already-engaged room, washed his face and brushed his long hairg put on his high collar and four-in-hand, blacked his pointed shoes, and put on his gloves, creased pants and long-tailed coat and went out to see the boys and impart knowledge to those so unfor- tunate as not to possess any of that most valuable of all things. Wliile in this frame of mind he passed by the Hunl- ble Prep under the elm. Says he, Here is a specimen of humanity from the rural districts who is green, gawky and ignorant. l will give him a small dose of Sophomore wisdom. He sat down under the elm, and the following conversation took place : Leamecl Sophomore. Good morning. Humble Prep. IIowd'y. , .l.. S. Just arrived ? H. P. Just come to town, sorter like the wild man of Borneo. L. S. Do you intend to attend school this Fall ? JI.P. That's just what I am here forg can you put me on to any of the ropes? L S. I have been in school three long, tedious years and can tell you anything you wish to know. ' II. P. Monstrousl can you? You must be a paralyzerg dad told me when I started that not even the faculty could tell me all things. ' L. S. Your dad is badly mistaken. I'll venture the unquali- fled, comprehensive assertion that your dad is a hay-seeder, an un- cultured, typical rustic. H. P. Whoa, big words! But my dad lives on a farm, is a free born American citizen, votes the Republican ticket, goes to church, prays and sings, is the husband of one wife and the father of ten children, and knows enough to teach you, old big words. L. S. Look here, youngster, you are entirely to-J free with your speech for a country jake and a typical product of your rustic father. Do you presume to tell me, a leading, respected Sopho- more of Drake University, that your countrilied dad could instruct me? Go hunt a room, wash your face, comb your hair, brush your clothes, blacken your shoes, you are not tlt to be seen: I am disgraced by coming in contact with you. II. P. I must be a wonderful fellow to disgrace you. It is hard to break a dog of sucking eggs and I believe it would be hard to disgrace you, you wind-bag, you pumpkin head, you product stuck-on-yourselfness. Will you please go away ? L. S. Young man, I advised you from my wonderful incom- prehensible, unboundable learning to do certain things, but instead of doing this you are calling me names you learned on the farm sitting at the feet ofr your rural, coarse, unpolished ancestor. II. P. Wind-bag, old word chewer, if you had as much learn- ing as you boast of you would not have talked about me and my father as you did. I firmly believe you are an infernal conglom- erated mixture of wind and nothingness. Is your digestion good, did you ever have a doctor to examine your mental state? L. S. Young rustic, do you question my mental equilibrium, you are indiscreet, injudicious, rash, impudent beyond my bound- less power of language to describe and picture. H. P. If you tell the truth about your learning I would judge nothing beyond your powers. L. S. You are too uncultured for me to talk to. I have a notion to take you by the nape of the neck, stick you in my pocket, take you and dump you into the sewer. H. P. If you were to put me in your pocket you would have more brains in your pocket than you ever had in your head. No lie! L. S. You most audacious, detestable, contemptible hay-seeder, upon my honor. reputation and bearing I will venture the asser- tion you will be sent home before a month. Such as you are not tolerated here. II. P. I wonder how you are ever tolerated. But, changing the subject, Mr. Sophomore, have you a wheel? I see the1'e are many in the city. L. S. I have not, but what is it to you? H. P. If I were you land I speak with all reverencej I would take the wheels out of my head and the rubber out of my neck and make me one. This ended the conversation, for the Humble Prep saw he had so riled the Learned Sophomore, he skipped ont. He obtained a room, cleaned up, matriculated and was soon at work. He did not see the Learned Sophomore until some time in the Winter' term, when a second conversation took place, as follows : L. S. Hello! H. P. Good morning. L. S. You have cleaned yourself up, I see. II. P. You are the same wind-bag, I suppose, as of old. L. S. You Preps are getting to be quite important and disre- spectful. H. P. Are we to be judged by such dead beats as you Sopho- mores? L. S. You should look upon us Sophomores with the same profound respect and sublime reverence that is shown by the heathen to his gods. II. P. Most learned, most honorable Mr. Sophomore, the Fresh- men tell us the Sophomores are the dead beats of school. J.. S. IIaven't you any better sense than to believe those blow- ing. boisterous, blustering, blutiing Freshmen ? Il. P. Most excellent Sophomore, I would believe a Freshman before I would believe you. Besides, the Juniors and Seniors say it is true. JL, S. The most clubs are thrown at the trees that have the best apples on them. II. P. The most clubs and rocks and kicks are directed at un- necessary detestable dogs and cats. JL. S. Do you mean to compare us with dogs and cats, and to say we are unnecessary and detestable? 11. P. Do you think I would do justice to the canines and felines if I did? But, it the shoe lits. wear it. L. S. Don't you think you should show more veneration and reverence toward the Sophomores? I mean you should be their worshipers. H. P. Chinamen worship blocks and stones, but Preps do not. L. S. Blocks and stones do you call us? For half a cent I would slap your head off. II. P. Could not afford to have it done for half a cent. L. S. More time in school may bring to you more polish, cul- ture and refinement. H. P. It signally failed with you. But how can one of your standing talk about such things. L. S. The simple fact that I am a Sophomore gives an undis- puted, uncontroverted, uncontested right to speak on such subjects. l H. P. That only proves to my mind you are incapable of talk- ing on ethical questions. L. S. May the Lord let you live until you have more respect for your superiors. H P. May the Lord never allow all the wind in you to escape at once, but gradually. L. S. 0, hateful, odious, loathsome. execrable, detestable, mis- erable, abominable Prep. I ought to make you feel sorry for what you have said. H. P. O, just, noble, upright Sophomore, be not too much :Nrodught up. But remember the old world has little use for swelled iea s. I . S. Wretch, come out on the campus and I will swell your rea . II. P. I fear it would make a fool of me, as it has of you. L. S. I never saw such irreverence shown to a superior. H. P. I feel very sorry for you, but why do you wear that badge? JL. S. Why do you ask? It explains itself. H. P. What does it mean? I see it says girl wanted. J.. S. You would do well to attend to Prep business and not to Sophomore business. -- H. P. No one besides a Sophomore would be silly enough to wear such a badge. S. That is what you say, scoundrel. H. P. That is what all the students in school say, and 1 believe it. L. S. Time will till your head, I pray, with less cussedness and more reverence. H. P. In order that this of which you speak may come to pass take this nickle, tell me all you know and hand me back the change. L, S. I ought to murder you. H. P. Well, the bell has rung. and I must go to class. K Fx CN N' , . 4. 1, ' rkxjr-Q-RN A E 5,,Q,f , Q 4 5G wljffx u , fm 1,43 X Q M . X K- xo!

The Juniors then called Prof. Williams, who made an ele- gant and instructive speech on the JUNIOR ANNUALJ, There being no Sophomore class, the Freshman called upon Prof. Denny to place their yell in Latin upon the board. They were quickly quieted when professor said he would remember them in examinations that afternoon if they did not let him a one. The schoolthen voted onthe following questions: Gov- ernment Control of Railroads. Should the United States Senate be Elected by a Direct Vote of the People? Woman Suffrage. Free Trade. Protection. Should the House of Lords be Abolished. Reed, McKinley and Allison for next President of the United States. General Drake for next Governor of Iowa.

The DYHUQ F1'GSb1'oeD- A member of the Freshman class was dying in her bedg In her hand she held a report all marked with lines of red. A schoolmate knelt beside her, as her life fast ebbed away, And bent with pitying glance to hear what she might say. The dying Freshman faltered, a tear bedimmed her eye, And she said: I can no longer live, hence, therefore, I will die. Take this message to my friends when from this world I passg For I belong to 'QS-the wooden-headed class. Tell Mr. Ross that my average in physiology caused me pain. The pericardium of my heart in anguish burst in twaing The mucous membrane of my throat was parched with angry woe- My spinal cord and all my nerves were shattered by the blow.

Tell Mr. Aylesworth not to ,wring his slender hands in grief for me, Nor to eulogize my cold remains in grand hyperbole, But to scan my youthful features with more merciful a gaze, Than he gave my composition in my luckless Prephood days. Tell Mr. Denny that if in Hades I should meet old C:usar's shade I would tell him what a struggle with his idioms he made. And in spite of modes and tenses, all my thoughts would be expressed In orat1Io obliqztfz as that seemed to please him best. D Tell Mr. Crusinberry to construct an arc, and there inscribe my name, Lest the record of my blasted youth be all unknown to fame, To drape my steel dividers in a mourning robe for me, And beneath the problem of my life write plainly, Q. E. D. The dying Freshman faltered. her voice grew childish weak. She tore asunder the report, then gasped, and ceased to speak. And upon the wings of evening, as her spirit seemed to pass C?l- the exammauon, Was borne a howl of anguish from the wooden Freshman class.

Have you heard the story the students tell Uf Prexy's term grind? No? Ah, well! Great is the pleasure of the student's mind, Greater the pleasure of I'rexy's grind. Prexy is a man of much renown-- The faculty man who didn't back down, But said in a firm, decided way: Grind we will, on the night of Tuesday V' That was on September, twenty-six, The very day the prophet Hicks, The noted son of prophecy, Carefully viewing the heavenly field, Predicted the clouds no rain would yield. II. I might tell how the eve before, Prexy stood at thc 'varsity door, Looking over the campus sweet, Where in the shade of the peaceful trees He heard the murmur of excited freshies, Sitting down upon their feet. Or, I might say, when the sunset burned The college gable, his thoughts he turned And planned to have a rousing grind When care and work we1'e left behind. Or how he fancied the noise in the hall l'0re2gy's Grind. Was Yankee Doodle or After the Ball. But all such fanciful thoughts we call To a practical man like Prexy, most strange, For seldom his mind is wont to range And be troubled by fancies fine, More than a calm-eyed girl in the Junior line, Quite up to date, and matter of fact, Slow to argue, but quick to actg That is the reason the studentls cite He planned so well for that terrible night. III. And it was terrible, in the air, Raged for hours dust from the affair, Thundered the Sophomore's heavy feet. Dillicult music for girls to greet, While on the left where now 'tis quiet Free from pushing and clamorous riot, All that night blushing girls kept Which for the grind by Juniors were swept. From the rostrum came speeches queer, flown with stories, greeted with cheer, Bits of elocution here and there, Made all feel it a time quite rare, The floor was carpetless and bare, The chairs intended for the tired Were heaped with harvest of the tired. The piano bellowed from its place, The girls stepped long to keep the pace, And grim looking Profs joined the rest, Putting their excessive gallantry to a test. IV. Just where the line of march made a turn, Erect and alone stood our president stern How do you think the man was dressed? He wore a stylish low-cut vest With four buttons, and his best. And buttoned over his manly breast. Was a cnt-away coat with rolling collar, And buttons one-fourth the size of a dollar, And tail that the country folk call swaller. His shoes were blacked slick and nice, And this was a very great sacrifice. Never had such a sight been on roll For many years in the college scroll. Not since Prof. Shep was a welcome beau And went to the candy pulls long ago. V. Close at his elbow all that night Veterans of the faculty Quickly played out and went away. And the Senior, downy of lip and chin, The Prep the Y. M. C. A. mustered in, Glanced as he passed at the smile he wore Then at the girl hislright arm bore, And said to her, but very slow, My name is Mr. So and So. Good evening, says she, with much ado, Are you one of the students called new? He, according to the established rule, Says, Is this your tirst year in school? For the poor fellow was anything but cool, While Prexy, unmindful of collar or cuff, Stood there mixing the poor boys up. He smiled and made many gestures wild. But schemed something wonderful all the while. VI. After three hours the grind was checked, But many a dress with dirt was specked. Then happened what some do not under- stand. When Proxy lifted his strong right hand, Took out his watch-eleven was the time- His eyebrows fell, to think of the crime. O'er the assembly there crept an awe, The grind was up, all plainly saw. Quickly Prexy came down from his chair Sad that he had so long stayed there. But the students all iirmly declare That his presence, in a peculiar way, Like that of the great Marshal Ney, That night was an incentive to stay. ,iq V N 1. X4 -45.- VII. Thus the grind raged. You know the rest, How the girls Worn out homeward pressed. How the boys broke and for them ran, But got left almost to a man. So they with sad and mournful looks Departed alone to seek their books, And Prexy with main and might Took his departure for the night. VII. This is the story of I'rexy's grind, And this is the moral for the student mind. In going through college the question is this: Do you grind with or without a miss? cN U K Afx-w nfg g '1 M3 A O 4 l W Y j XW , Z V7 'l.,Il1I1 N ,, Q , 5 ff 'WNW' FL, ' ,lx W Wk fm.,-ffyfj 'H ' WH W 3, lfifbf' Q f' - 96 7 L' JZ f ,rj I L- 'X AW ff' 3-IIT-wwf W 'v V- M C f f 3?

He smells just a little too much of university and too little of life. My lecture this morning will be neither llearnedly abstruse nor universally popu- ar ll The book is a companion you can shut up and also take under your arm. Foot ball is college war. lf any student of Drake should take advantage of his privileges, like Judas of old, he will seek his own place. It is an honor to lecture before an audience like this. Education is not to line the road of life on either side with roses and foun- taiusf' ..., .. Never pick your teeth, and if you have false ones do not wash them in the linger bowl. . Pass the pertaters. I believe opera chairs have racks under them to put hats in. Now girls, I want you to go to that free lecture and learn how to dress your- selves decently. Now I guess your brain cells are all throbbing. Don't fail to see the Bursarf? Let every student be at chapel to-mor- row as I have an important announcement to make. Come to the term sociable and we will get you close to some one. Can't Prof. Shepherd speak for him- self? ll -47- He sized me up and he sized me down. Carlyle and Williams do not agree. I did some line courting when I was young. All cannot be patriarchs like Prof. Shepherd, all cannot be congratulators like Prof. Ott, nor all good looking like myself.

But especially is he noted, and stands at the head of the rank. For his introduction speeches so high- sounding and lank. II. Next is a man who stays way up in a tower at night, Where he is far, far out of everyouels sight. Here it is said he looks for hours at the moon, ' But not with the feeling he did when he used to spoon. III. Then comes a man with peculiar habits of life. Instead of staying at home with his lovable wife, Takes a sack and goes catching ilees and bugs, A.nd kills pretty kittens, and has the same liking for pugs. iglpts of The Faedliy. 1V. A man who for a long time has had gray hair, But of the fair college girls he loves to take care. To attend Prexy's grind and hold of a pretty girl catch Is one of the rights reserved to this old bach. V. There is one among the faculty as all well know Who is called the Mother of Girls, and this is so. She is decidedly and strongly opposed to foot-ball, And raises Old Ned if the classes scrap at all. VI. There is another who like the wind has a right to blow. And when he is seated on the rostrum in the faculty row, He is always looking at the girl on number twenty-three. For she is very dear to him as all can see. -48- VII. Another of this wondrous group of which we write Is one, who. if speeches are to be made, is ont of sight. But if there comes a chance Prexy to roast, There will be on hand, of her, a line look- ing ghost. VIII. The right of the nervous little man to announce foot-ball And say his hyword, By-snooks, is not questioned at allg But his right at all times chapel to skip Makes us feel he is just a little too flip. IX. 'l'here is one with the undisputed right to be slow and poky, So much so it is quite certainhe never could play liokev. With his. wife and babes he loves so well to stay, That he ol'ten comes late to class, so his students say. X. And one has an exclusive right his English to mumble, And at the students he is a terror to grum' ble. He it is who has a right to smoke a pipe, And of all the faculty he looks most like a snipe. XI. Next comes the man who has a right jokes to tell, Of course he is a good fellow and will escape h-ll. This man has a peculiar way of clapping his hands. - And the respect of all the students he commands. XII. The man who has a right to be sour and cold, And never speak to the students so we are told, He rides astride of a magnilicent horse called Driver, And leaves poor old Meses out in the cold to shiver. , XIII. Of this one we are not going to say any- thing mean, That is what we have done with most of the other seventeen, But out of the whole faculty, of which we write, She is the only one that can call singing her right. XIV. Also. there is a certain fellow to take us by surprise, When he makes a strong point in a speech closes his eyes. He likes to talk about negroes, and Lex- ington, and old Kentuck'. He wears glasses, is withy, little, and full of pluck. XV. Now, it is not our intention to feed you on chaff, But there is a fellow of our faculty that has a horse laugh. Although he owns neither railroad, stock or mine, He has, undoubtedly, run a corner on curvature of the spine. -.4Q.. XVI. Who is the pcrsonage that sits so dummy- iied and quiet? Is there not, certainly, something Wrong with his diet? His hands are folded, half-closed are his eyes, He is so stupid he is liable to be blown by Ilies. XVII. Next comes a fellow as big as all creation, Who is all the time boring us with his everlasting classification, He shows the bottom of his foot in spite of darnation, I But he's not to be blamed for it is as large as the nation. XVIII. And now we have come to the last, and to' run no gag, He is one inclined too much on himself to brag. We are too careful with language to say he lies, But he is excusable, so much he doth advertise. GERHHRD QJOHANN ZEPTER, R. M. PROFESSOR DER NEUEREN SPRACHEN.

The birds aqd the beasts were there,--Visitor to '95 Menagerie Story of the Freshmen. FOR THE CHILD Rl-CN. Once upon a time there was a town that was very large and beautiful. Far out from the business part of this town there was a school. In this school, which they called Drake, there were many, many boys and girls who came to learn to read and write, and many other things besides. Many of the good fairies had visited this school and had nfade the boys and girls much better for having been with tiem. But beyond the home of the fairies, which was in a beau- tiful grove, there was a mountain, very gloomy and dark, so that one was afraid to pass it, especially at night, unless one of the good fairies was with him, for in this mountain dwelt an ugly black imp. He was very small, but st.ill ne was to be feared, for often times the smallest people are as powerful as the largest. Now, this imp hated the school, for he was jealous tjeal- ousy is always found in had spiritsl of the goed fairiesg and so he decided to make the boys and girls bad, and thus spite both teachers and fairies. So one day he went to the school disguised as a nice, rich man and asked all the students to come to his line home that night to eat gum drops and caraway seeds. But many ofthe boys and girls would 'not go, for they knew they ought to stay home to study, but some of them went, for they loved gum drops and caraway seeds far better than their lessons. When they arrived, the imp wanted to know their names, 5 but all were too bashful to answer till one little boy managed to say, We are--the--the--the--Fresh men and I am--the president. Obi oh, and is that so? said the imp. Well, what do you study, my little man? But by this time the president was edging away, scared so badly that he was almost crying, till finally ne stood away off in a corner of the room, with head hung and finger in his mouth. 'And soon a wonderful thing happened,for suddenly, with- out their noticing him move, the rich man was gone and the horrid little imp stood in his place. - Then all the Freshmen began to cry for their mammas and wished they had stayed at home to learn their A li Cls. Then the imp told them they were to be his children and must always obey him or he would shut them up in a dark dungeon, where they could never make mud pies, play ball or skip the rope. But finally the little ones who were not used to being up after 8 o'clock, began to nod their heads and then to yawn, till finally each one had laid his tear-stained face upon his arm and fallen fast asleep. Wlien they awoke each was in his own little bed, and they thought the visit to the imp only a bad dream. But there was a change in them. All could see it. The teachers scolded and scolded, and yet they did not know their lessons, and sometimes a poor teacher would, in despair, tell thenf, LYou are excused, not wishing to keep them the who e our. The bigger boys and girls smiled sweetly at their little pets, but the little ones only made faces for an answer. They tried to hurt some ot the boys and girls who had been in school two years longer than themselves. They even gated so baply that spxpii pf theirlmenimas had to come and rive tiem ioine wit 1 i te switc ies. They tried to keep the same boys and girls from going to their partiesg they went upin the top of the building and run up a piece of red and green cloth, and wanted to stay up there always till the teachers told them to come down or thev would be spanked. They tried to knock the boys down whb didn't want them to wear the red and green ribbons because X they did not look nice on their pink and blue check pinafores, but worst of all they tried to make the people think they knew more than all the other students, the teachers, and really everybody in the whole world. But the strangest part is they did not know how they looked to other people, but thought they were the best class in school. Even yet the spell is on them, but the good fairies will try to make them better, as soon as the oldest boys and girls have said their little pieces, which the good fairies are helping them write now. and we hope, after a long play time this summer. our little boys and girls will be good and sweet next year, and never be again under the control of the black imp. ..

The Senior class had a blow-out so very guy, What you think, they sneaked prayer- nieetin' and went away, To have a jolly time an' eachother kindly greet, An' eat an' diink an' write poetry so very sweet. An' all we busy students when supper was o'e1', We went quietly to our rooms to study linguistic lore. But the Seniors they were looking all about Calse the Juniors would tie 'em ef they Didnlt Watch Out! There were noble classmen who had said their prayers, And quietly gone to bed not dreaming of scraps and tears. They heard the Senior holler an' they heard him bawl, But attention to him he paid none at all, They only slumbered peacefully and quietly took their rest. Forgetting the noisy Senior, and stayed snugly in their nest, But said the Junior would tie 'em ef they Didn't Watch Out! Next morning during chapel how the Seniors did grin, An' make fun of nearly all who came in, An' all the lime when there were visitors an' strangers there, They laughed and talked just as if they didn't care, An' whispered, and snickered, an' smiled an' looked round hehin', An' saw a mighty class standing solid in aline. ....57- Having a look that forcibly said, look what yonlre about, For the Junior would tie 'em ef they Didn't Watch Out! An' now the timid Senior says when we have a blow, Be sure its prayer-meetin' night anl the others do not know, For should thev hear il, at home some wou'd not stay, ' But would take their rope in hand an' keep the Senior away. So the Seniors are careful that othe1's do not hear, They keep their blows a secret for they greatly fear The Juniors would tie 'em ef they 1Jidn't Watch Out!

'E Many are flue sayings of the wise. age in the history of the world has practicat knowledge been so rapidly and so widelydiffused. Never did college and univer- sity halls ring with the tread of such enthusiastic and deter- mined classes. The Freshman class is a wonderful thingg it possesses its share of knowledge, and as to enthusiasm it of -65- '98 has its own pluslwhat the Senior and Sophomore classes are minus. Like Minerva, from the brain of Jove, the Freshman class sprang forth full grown. It never wore the long dresses of prep-hoodg but notwithstanding this fact let the Fresh- man remember that he is not beyond wearing knee pants. Although large, he is young, green and gawky, that is. he has all the attributes of a common, ordinary, every-day Fresh- man. Although a Freshman. he is a good one. Until he appeared on the scene never did a college class have the grit and sand to oppose anything undertaken by the invincible class of 96. To the class of '96, Senior and Sophomore paid the deference due to their superiors. But the Freshman, eing young and strong, made a noble, but fruitless, effort to establish himself as their equal. His efforts were daring, brave and manly. The bravery ot Leoniflas guarding the Pass of Thermopylze does not surpass the bravery with which they guarded their flag. He stayed in the bell tower when his only exercise was clapping his hands and .stamping his feetg his breakfast npplesg his bed the floor: his only music the moaning and whistling of the north windg his only com- panion lonelmessg his only cheer the wolf eyeing starsg his only consolation prospective vietoryg his only revelation black clouds crossing the sky in the stillness ofthe night, por en ing a ay o. scraps an ar: ee sg ns on y res ta' df 'f1diddi'i t dreams filled with sights of flag-capturing Juniors. All this he saw and felt in order that a small flag might float a few hours from the Hag pole. The main attributes of our Freshmen are: wind, as shown by tfheir yell: war, as shown by their nctionsg superfluity of intellect, for they proved a square is square, u circle is round. a crooked line is crookedg unsagacious, they were tied the night of their social, for one ofthe Freshies let the cat out of the waterg possessed of fortitude, for they stood the humility of havmfr their colors cut off' ethical, as shown by their motto ln tact taking the Freshman class as a whole they think they are mighty takinv them after a great deal of sorting and qualifying the other classes recognize them as the class of 98 P ii? ,' Q r 4 X T, VK l , f l 1 ss , Z Niig' l ,, u V4 ' ' ,frm ' ' , ,f if V . bt, U6- 'A lllwlrfl, l'h17n Qlgss of CLASS Morro-Finis opus coronat.

The actual history of the class of '97 does not extend over a very great period of time, but the mythology and early tra- ditions have been preserved through distant ages. lnd-eefll tradition goes so far back as to throw afalnt glimmer of light on the first age of the college world. Seldom do we find even '97, traces of a college people extending to the age of Junior Preps, but the oral traditions of these folk seem to plainly point to the association and organization of a band of people that might with propriety be termed a class. They are sup- posed to have been diligent but retiring, and because of their modesty, instead of assuming the name which justly belonged to them. they were known as the class of '98 for an indefinite length of time. The age of the Senior Prep is shrouded in darkness. No modern excavations or discoveries have thrown any light on the subject, and tradition and mythology seem to be entirely silent. Whether they were overcome for a time by some more powerful tribe, or intentionally kept themselves in seclusion, is still a question in the minds of the people. 'One thing is certain-they were not entirely blotted out of exist- ence, for in the latter part of the Freshman age, at the time of the athletic contest of the college world, they suddenly appeared and astonished the other classes by carrying off some goodly honors. Little more was heard of them until the Winter Term of the Sophomoric Age, when they seemed to take on new life. They organized themselves as any other class, drew up a con- stitution which threatened to rival that of the United States, and on all the college boards appeared the characteristic couplet: We've come from Hell, we're going to Heaven, ' We are the class of '97. ' This, however, was soon superseded by ayell which better belitted their wisdom and foresight. The class is well-rounded and has proved itself extremely intellectual, being composed of scientists, theologians, philosophers and pedagogues. But during the years of its transformation the most important feature of a successful class seemed to have been entirely lost. The girls had disap- peared. Not a single one could be found to join them. Yet the brave Sophomores were not disheartened bv this calamity, a class dinner was immediately arranged. It was a grand cream of the school Cso far as ablej, and by strutagem equal to that of their Roman forefathers, elected them honorary mem- bers of the class, and now they pride themselves on possess- ing great dignity, with frivolity only as an honorary factor. The class has never had a scrap, and never expects to have one. Never has had a flag and never expects to have one. Never has had a, program, but expects to give an extra- ordinary one when the class badge lGirl Wantedl has accom- plished its niissiou. They are all in good spirits, and say: Girls in sight for next year. affair, and the Sophomore boys chose their ladies from the -glijlf L., ,hal -.Y-'p l' lr-,Llql T W iz' 16W f' ,, Hrs: MI' 'u A N Qlgss of '96, CLASS Mo'rT0-Be as you would seem.

Wlmerl one has lived a life strong and useful, with pure heart, true motives, high aspirations, heroic deeds, we feel like saying to all the world here is a man. But when we pause to view a class as it nears the end of lts college course. to look back Over years of work, of pleasure and pain mtermlngled. of battles fought and won, of defeats bravely borne, we feel that here is a power for good that cannot be estimated by human calculation. Since the days of Prepdom we have struggled valiantly together. Strong in numbers we have held our ground man- fully against the attacks of the other classes and many a bold and successful onslaught have we headed. Never in the history of the University has there been a stronger Prep class or a more fearless one. A little pride from such a fact is jus- tifiable, in our eyes at least. In oar Freshman days the name of the heroic '96's filled the hearts of the poor little Sophomores with a terror they have never succeeded in overcoming. On a never-to-he-fob gotten Field Day the Sophomores started out gayly in the golden light of early morning with iiying colors, fluttering handkerchiefs and merry voicesg they returned in the dusky twilight with drooping heads and sorrowing hearts. The' loss of their two Hags was a bitter lesson, but they bore it man- fully. Even to this day, although now dignified Seniors, they are known to quail before their enemy of old. As Sophomores. although perhaps 11ot quite so warlike in demonstrations. we nevertheless inspired awe among the other classes. We gained this year on Field Day more points than all the other classes combined, and held the gold medal over for the Second year. We now began to feel our impor- tance. how necessary we were to the institution. how sad all the Profs. would be when we were gone, and how great an advertisement we were to the school. We looked down from our lofty pedestal of wisdom with an eye of pity on all who were not far enough advanced to be enrolled in our famous class. For truly it would be a sad fate to graduate from Drake in any other class but the class of '96, A s Juniors we have ever conducted ourselves with becoming fortitude. We have attained a dignity that is worthy our high position. Tall and stately we march across the campus with an air of having met and conquered the enemy. Little children 'playing along the street move aside as reverently to let us pass as if we were Prexy himself. It is not yet possible to prophesy what will take place when we step over the border land of Juniordom and become full fledged Seniors. Old Father Time alone can tell what the result will be. Some of our number, starting out just as proudly and firmly and full of hope as we, are not with us to-day. We must give them a word of remeuibmnce. for we have fond recollections clinging about our younger college days in which they figure conspicuously. Loyal and true have the famous members of class '96 ever been! May long life, prosperous days he in store for them and may none but propitious breezes be wafted over tl1em! rig' po- ! , '50 f-.

And so in giving the history of the class of '95 there comes to us the thought of what a world of possi- bilities there has been before this class. But who will deny but that they have achieved great things? The '95s organized in their Senior Preparatory year with a membership of sixteeng only one charter member remains in the class. The second commencement of the Preparatory Depart- ment was held on the evening of June 11. 1890. Never was so much dignity and self-importance shown on the part of any class, and never in all the battles of history was there more excitement displayed than at this first program of the class of '95, At first it seemed destined to be the most extraordinary class ever encompassed within the walls of Drake. Verily, some valuable elements were sadly lacking. However, it was spoken of as an ideal class. and. possessing wonderful ability in itself. it has on all occasions yielded the palm to its superior, the class of '96, An interesting charac- teristic of theclass which has been generally noticeable, is its studious habits, though excluded from social life. In former years '95 was noted for its innumerable Htaffv pulls. These formal parties were always secretly arranged, but on several Occasions rumors that such were being planned im pelled many of the terrified members to go in disguise and alone. But since they have put on their Senior dignity they actually have banquets, real banquets-so we are told the next morning. It is proper to say here that the class has made discoveries marvelouslv wonderful in the way of keep- ing secrets, which we never hope to attain. Another distinction of '95 is. the striking beauty of its various members. But alas! Beauty stands in the admira- tion only of weak minds. We can truly say that the class is of excellent character and humble nature. Seniors, though we fought you. we loved you, and now as you are nearing the end of your college course, and the col- lege days grow fewer, we know that they become dearer and dearer to you. The Professors seem as loving parents, and the old chapel, where you have gone many times with reluc- tant feet, will ever remain sacred in your memory, and your bitterest antagonist, made so in time of class fight, now seems as near as a brother. Though others will soon step in to take your places you will not be forgotten. May you ever tind as true and warm friends as you have had at Drake. It is a class, take it for all in all, we shall not look upon its like again. f...-1, 1 . in , vat' i f .- ..,. ,. , 7. - f - HM.,- . ..- -.:b-4-- 1 -4-' --2- Qi- -gf' 5:-, .Lt .4 - 'H ' 'f ' - -5 -1z4A,1',-Z - - ':,. , , L - '. ,jf ' --'. ,pf 1 -' '. ...H - 'Q ,. was 'i'i9'ii 7T2:q i: ' x5 - '5- - wr' I-at ' - f - ---2' :Lg f- 1-- . r ,, at ,A fi f ,,,.-.f-LJ.-f' 3 If 1 - - nf-4 .

I N all the past history of Drake, there has never come one to our midst who has more quickly enthroned himself in the hearts of his students than has the subject of this sketch. His twinkling eye and beaming smile on the chapel rostrum have already come to be a part of the Universityg and it is universally conceded that the board of managers did a wise thing in calling him to the position he occupies. Born in Shelbyville, Kentucky, September 28, 1851. he was left fatherless in his infancy and at the age of thirteen his mother also died, leaving him in the care of a bachelor uncle, William Rankin, by whom he was educated and to whose benefaction he attributes much of his success in life. In 1864 he entered Eminence College, Kentucky, graduating in 1869, at the age of eighteen, receiving the degree A. B. and delivering the Greek oration of his class. Following his graduation he was appointed Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages in the same institution, and the next year assumed full charge of that department, which position he occupied until 1875. Meanwhile he had prepared himself for the ministry, completing a three years theological course. His first sermon was preached October 28, 1872, and during the remaining three years of his professorship he preached every Sunday, meeting witl1 marked success, building up a congregation at Buckner and strengthening others already established. After resigning this professorship he remained for another year in charge of some of these churches, being known as a monthly preacher. ln January, 1877, he accepted a call to Madison, Indiana, where he remained until October, 1880, at which time he took charge of the Third church at Indian- apolis, lndiana. Having labored here two years he was called to the pastorate of the Richmond St. church, Cincin- cinati, Ohio. While in charge of this church, in April, 1883, he was married to Miss Clara Murray, of Indianapolis, Ind., a noble and accomplished woman, who has since been an earnest helpmeetin all his labors. ' D In March, 1885, he moved to Lexington, Ky., in response to a call from the old Main Street church, where he labored most acceptably for ten years. During the last year of this pastorate he witnessed the building, by his congregation, of one of the finest church editices in Kentucky. lt was against the most earnest protestation of the church that he accepted the call to the deanship of our Bible college. Dr. Mathews is widely known, not only as an eloquent and forceful preacher, but also as a writer of much ability, hav- ing been for many years a constant contributor to the lead- ing publications of the Church of Christ. He has also pub- lished a book of sermons, which is now in its third edition. He brings to his students the practical experience of more than twenty years of pastoral lite, which, coupled with his broad scholarship and thorough culture, and crowned with his earliest enthusiasm, makes him most eminently. fitted for the work of training young me11 for the ministry. He comes to us in the full strength of his manhood and we hope to have many years of his mature life and labor. 83 gf in 5 W 'iw , J it .1 T ...4. .: Q ,ir l 1 af 1 in fi 'N ji , A Tif f. Old Practical Business World. Business Depa rtment. The Drake University Business College and School of Shorthand is very busy preparing young rnen and women so that they can enter the business world and talk with Old Prac- tical Business World in a business-like way. No young man or woman that finishes in this school IS expected to knuckle down to Old Practical Business World, but to stand up and talk to him. The teacher of this department, perhaps, in times past and gone has, if reports are true, been known to knuckle down, but it was an oecasion when knuckling was the proper thing to do, the means justified the end that was in view. .But notwithstanding the fact the teacher has been known to get down on his knees. he never teaches his pupils to do that. He teaches them how to avoid his mistakes. - It is needless to say anything by way of recommend for this school, the graduates are sufficient evidence of what is being done. One young man solvet' twelve problems in twenty seconds. Another solved them so rapidly that the wheels in his head turned so fast they flew from their spin- dles. The young man it is supposed went crazy, but that is a mistakeg the fact is when the wheels flew from their spindles the young man simply did without wheels. Another arrived at answers so speedily that the oil in the elbow, put there to avoid friction, became so heated that it sizzled like bacon in a hot frying pan. O, the results are marvelous, not to be believed unless seen. As yon cannot see without coming. so come and enroll in the Drake University Business College and School of Shortliand. d.1Vlaql. Williams. J. MAD. WILLIAMS was born near VVashington, Iowa, March 15, 1840. His early life was spent on a farm, and the educational advantages were, of course, very poor in Iowa at that early date. In such a school, however, as there was, we find him deeply interested, and though mischievous, always studying hard to satisfy his longing to know some- thing and be somebody. His parents were both Christians, and when he was but sixteen he gladdened their hearts by accepting as his leader, the One whom to know aright is life everlasting. In 1861 he entered Oskaloosa College, having been employed for some time previous as teacher in the district schools. But '61 was not a year in which brave, enthusi- astic youths could settle down to their books, for dearer to them than tales of battles and victories were battles and vic- tories themselves, and so itmwas that from our northern schools many of the students went to fight for their native land. Among those who enlisted was the subject of this sketch. But while many who left their college halls with hopeful and yet doubtful hearts, with friends smiling good-byes through their tears, praying that they might return to them, were buried in strange graves, our young soldier was spared to again see his home. On his return from the war he entered the State University, from which he graduated as Bachelor of Didactics, and soon afterward received the degree of A. M. Immediately after he completed his college course, he became superintendent of the Iowa City schools, which posi- tion he held three years, then was pastor of the church two years, when his health failing, he resigned,and traveled for a time in the Rocky mountains. On his return he located in Oskaloosa and became co-editor of the Christian Evangelist. Laying aside his editorial, work he again entered the ministry and has preached in different places in Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa, being also for four years the superintendent of schools at West Liberty. In 1867 he married Miss Augusta Zimmerman, who was at that time a professor in the State University. They have five children, one girl and four boys. Last September he came to Drake as principal of the Normal Department. His genial manners have already won him a place in the hearts of not only the normal students,but all the university as well. I-le seems to realize that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and his talks at chapel, as well as his conversation, are ever tinged with just enough wit and humor, which makes us all feel better, for his wit is of that kindly sort which leaves no wound behind. He seems a born teacher, one who will ever be respected and yet will always win the confidence of his pupilsg one who will ever be kind though just. He has written a number of poems which show that, had he but devoted his attention to it, he might have won for himself a high place in literature. But the love of saving souls and helping others he chose to make his life work, and perhaps it was as well, for is it not better to put the music in another's life and heart, and leave it singing there, than to write it in cold, unfeeling books to be read and then perhaps forgot? VVe only hope our dear professor may stay with us maniy years to brighten our lives as well as strengthen our min s. Q Normal Department. It is a pity, a wondrous pity that we did not have the Normal Department in our midst sooner. Had it been established at the beginning of the history of the university, certainly such an attendance of mind directors would have so permeated the school with their goodness that such a thing as a poor lesson, shoes unblaclcened, hair uncombed, would now be unknown, and such a barbarous, heathenish and detestable a thing as a class scrap would have been buried so deep by this time that the toot of Grabriel's horn could not resurrect it. O, these school marms are regulatorsg they are the beauties of the school, the paragons of the girls. To teach the young mind how to expand is the noblest and best of professions: and to succeed in teaching young America how to sober down to his books is almost a miracle. W-ltll0llt school marins civilization would go to destruction. They are the corner stone of our nation's foundation. No sensible reason could be given for leaving the training of the teacher out of our curriculum. The teacher comes in close contact with both parent and child, and has a wonderful IUHUGIICB in moulding the life and character of each. To know how to impart juvenile culture, physical, intellectual and moral, is second to none in importance. . Our Normal Department has the honor of being presided over by Prof. Williaiiis and his wife. Prof. Williams is father of the faculty and Mrs. VVilliams is mother of the girls. So if you wish to marry one of the college girls, you 8 must obtain Mrs. William's consent. We are not informed as to the faculty. but will take it for granted that no one in school knows so little as to marry one of the faculty. Our Normal Departmen is growing. and is energetic and fully ahve. As proof of this assertion we need o.1ly to state it is strong and healthy enough to live next door to the phar- ll13.Cy FOOITIS. 1 'ff 41 . f 1 A .f f' I f . . nl , , 1 +1111 ffl: fl, .ff ffl' '- i ' 7 ff . ,, .

UGUSTA YIMMFRMAN WILLIAMS was born November 22, 1844, in Wooster, Wayne county, Ohio, removing with her parents to a farm near Iowa City, while yet a child. She was educated in the district school until fourteen years of age, when she entered the State Uni- versity at Iowa City. Stopping to teach several terms she completed her course in 1864. Mrs. Williams is by nature and training a true teacher, and has proved herself a most competent and thorough instructor. After her graduation she taught in the Prepara- tory Department at the University until she was married, in 1867, to J. Madison Williams. Since her marriage she has been assistant in the High School at Iowa Cityg principal of High School, Iowa Cityg two years in High School at VVest Libertyg principal of one of the ward schools in Jackson- ville, Ill. At present she is teaching in the Normal and Pre- paratory Departments at Drake University, and acting as matron of the girls of the school. As a wife and mother her life has been most exemplary. She has a model family of tive children, and through them the influence of her noble life will live long after her. For truly that woman has done the greatest thing for humanity who sends forth her children nobly prepared to meet and overcome the difiiculties of life, strong in the strength of their young manhood and womanhood. Her daughter, Zoe Williams. Williams Seevers, graduated at the State University of Iowa, with the honors of her class, and is now presiding over a. home of her own at Oskaloosa. The eldest son, Herman, graduates this year at the State University of Iowa, and has already proved himself an able and successful minister of the Gospel. The next two sons, Mark and Fred, a1'e attending school at Drake, while the youngest, Winworth, is yet at the public school. Mrs. Williams united with the Christian church at the age of sixteen, and has ever since been an active worker in all good work. She has taught in the Sunday-school from her youth up, and at present has a class in the University Sun- day-school. Being one of the tlrst members of the C. W. B. M., she has organized auxiliaries wherever she has lived. She was a member of the State Board in Illinois, and has been President of the Iowa State Board for five years. Her life is useful and far-reaching in its influence. She inspires all with whom she comes in contact, for No life can be strong in its purpose and true in its strife And all lives not be stronger and better thereby. Truly, the good this noble woman has done and is still doing, is not to be estimated. As waves form about a pebble thrown into the water, so waves of influence radiate from her life that will broaden and deepen and widen until their effects live far beyond human knowledge. 91 5 ll 3 -.

'The studentoii society program is more dignified and graceful, more crrtici and more at ease in all relations of college life. 'lhe silent influence of this school has had its effect upon even the fac- ulty, several of them have improved in appearance, speech and manner. l , , The Drake School of Oratory IS becoming widely known and students from other colleges are attracted hither on Qepgringeryt. account of this attribute, which so few colleges have. The ditferent contests that have been held over the state under the auspices of this school have to a wonderful extent brought it before the notice of the people, and have also brought the people in close proximity to its work and methods, and have given the people an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the two principals at the head of this department. Drake is proud of this school and the two men that manage it. -Stu- dents from other schools and states come to sit at the feet of Professors Ott and Newens in order to prepare themselves for contests, etc. Drake has as good a school of oratory as can be found in the west, and the reputation of its teachers IS broadening. We are exceedingly proud of this department and hope that the future will bring as much prosperity to it and inltthe Sallie ratio that the past has so generously bestowed upon 1 . Prof. Adrian Nevderys. E-S the little brook Champion winds its way through Medina county, Ohio, toward the broad Lake Erie, it passes the town of Medina. Here, September 15, 1871, was born Adrian M. Newens. Most of his childhood and youth was spent in this little city of about 2,000 inhabitants. ln the spring time it was his delight to hie away to the banks of the charming Cham- pion, tish pole 1n hand, to practice for the presidency. Dur- ing the summer vacation he worked near by on the farms. At the age of sixteen, circumstances called him from the midst of prosperous high school work to a clerkship in a little grocery store. Here for two whole years he labored for the small salary of 354.00 per week. Then, rightly judging that his capacities, both mental and physical, were capable of greater things, he bade good-bye to his boyhood home to try the larger opportunities of a life in Chicago. After employ- ing himself for one entire year in hunting work, he was finally employed as general hustler by the American Art Co. His ability and application were such that in two years he arose to the position of overseer in the large shipping department and was first-man in the establishment. During this period, his evenings and Sundays were largely spent in city mission work, and it was while thus employed that he became inspired with the determination to obtain a higher education and to preach. His employer at this time about to sell his business, three avenues of future life opened before our ambitious young friend. He was offered the position of bookk: eper and general manager in a similar firm. Or he might have accepted a position in the Columbian National Bank of Chicago, which not only promised him great things, but was indeed a splendid opportunity to wrok high in the business world. But he wisely chose the oppor- tunity of entering college. Drake University was held up to him as the school to enter. During his two years in the employ of the Art Co.. he had supported a sister and her two children, hence his bank account was so low that he arrived in University Place with only 350.00 in his pocket. He entered upon his work with such consecration and dedication to duty that his advance was rapid. His professor was soon much impressed with the magnitude and versatility of his powers. After two years of close application to study, with privilege of preaching occasionally and the help of a few friends, he graduated in the Department of Oratory in the Spring of 1893. He was at once called to fill the chair of Oratory in Hiram College. At the close of his first year there he had placed the department on a firm basis, arranged a course, and created interest enough to insure a te..cher a good salary. At this time he was extended a call to take the position of assist- ant principal in his Alma Mater. He very reluctantly left Hiram, being prevailed upon to do so only by his loyalty to his old school and a salary which is second to but few in the profession. He has, during the year just closed, as he did in his school life, distinguished himself by his devotion. to his work and by his varied powers. He has in a large degree that chief requirement of a teacher, the power to inspire in his pupils the same qualities which make him a success. This power he uses in a masterful way, also, in his numerous appearances before the popular audience. In his personality he is pleas- ing, magnetic and responsive. The department is enriched by his presenceg his influence rests upon all. fX . X I v x ' ,.f, A L .i i ,te ,,Wm3geztsi2g2gE2E'gmlt tvui . A fit ft, A . - msn .J w 'l - i l fi- .., 'ltr .. .

QQ .,,.,Xs f.-ff lt -WM' fzf 0 'e ,,,- The Musical Department of Drake, until Prof. Strong took charge of it, had many downs and -99- upsg in fact, the downs were a little in the lead. Since lie has been directing the musical mind of the school it has been up all the time. It takes energy, pluck and skill to makethings move. The professor possesses these qualities, and under his skillful management the instrumental music department of the university reached such proportions that it became necessary to provide an assistant teacher. The professor. who has an eye to business. and who was also standing sorely in need of au assistant in other relations of life, took unto himself a wife to the great satisfaction of himself and the instrumental department. The vocal department, although not established until this year. is making wonderful progress. Mrs. A. A. Belknap, one of the best vocalists to be secured. was given charge of this department. Attracted by her ability as a. teacher and her pleasing womanly ways, twenty of our students enrolled the first term and many more the second. This department is increasing and will soon demand an assistant. But Mrs. Belknap will not be able to follow the example of Prof. Strong. The music rendered and concerts given by this department are among the things most highly appreciated by every student. A school without vocal music is like a goose- berry pie without sugar. We do not like it. It is like bread without leaveningg it laclts something. The vocal depart- ment supplied a long felt want. But to-day it is among us and we trust to stay. Drake thinks she has the best vocal teacher in the stateg if you do not think so, you are invited to come and be convinced of the fact. At least we are satis- fied, and are prosperous beyond expectation. This department can not do otherwise than prosper, and may it continue to prosper. Mrs. A. SA. Belknap. God sent his singers upon earth, With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men And bring them back to heaven again. -Longfellow. lii EULOGIES on statesmen, generals, poets and prophets have been written in all ages. But not until this last century has the singer come into prominence, not until this century did the soul fervently pour forth itself in song. The eloquence of the orator, the voice of love, the cry of anguish, the wail of despair, words that breathe of tenderness, sorrow and joy stir the heart as no scenic repre- sentation can do. But the power of song is greater than these: it plays on the strings of the heart with a delicacy and a thrill found in no other communication of soul with soul. Eighteen hundred years of time was stored away in the dusty reservoirs ofthe limitless past before the world was filled with music, that sentiment, that melody of the heart, that divine nature responding to the divine, which was slumbering in the human voice. Mrs. Belknap was born in a small village in western Iowa. Her childhood surroundings were unrom: ntic. She was not a captive in air-tight hallsg only the walls of the horizon formed for her a prison. The wild prairie air filled her lungs, the keen stars twinkled in her eyes. and singing birds gave her a musical tongue. Surrounded by running brooks, sylvan woods, golden and gorgeous sunsets, blue skies, silver Healing clouds, gentle winds, rolling uplands and fragrant vales. her life became a part of the great everlastingheart of nature herself and was filled with the sweet illusion of song. Being thus filled with this sweet spirit of song she decided to study musicg as life to her without music would be like trees with- out leaves, the sky without stars, a vale without flowers, an eye without flash, v heart without love. She commenced her study of music in Cornell college, Iowa, but wishing better and more thorough instruction she Left Cornell to study under Madame Murio-Cellig not yet satisfied she crossed the Atlantic and sat at the feet of the world-renowned vocalist, William Shakespeare, one year. Soon after her return she took charge of vocal music in Drake. Notwithstanding this is her iirst year, she. on account' of her ability as a teacher, has under her instruction all. the pupils she can teach, and by her lovable disposition, kind words and womanly ways has won the respect and admiration of all. Though recently come among us, we know her to honor her. Qef f ff 491 ' X, 3334 . Fi? gf 'Nr .sf- -56 , .Q li 'J lOl -H- '1- tb XR1 bIUll Ari Qeparlmeryi.

The Art Department. though it has not as fine a display of pictures, paintings and busts as some eastern studio, and though it might not compare with a studio .of Michael Angelo, Titian or Pietro Martyre, and though its students have not pictures such as these produced, yet the walls. otthe Drake studio are almost covered with pictures and paintings that would do credit to artists of no little repute. This department works so quietly in the corner of the building that we hear little from it, in fact the Art Depart- ment would rather you would come and see than be told what they are doing. Even the teacher is a modest, timid sort of a person that means a great deal, but says little. 5 In fact she is never known to do anything in any degree bold except to roast Prexy once in a while and sometimes twice in :i while. She is too timid to come to chapel on the last day of terms for fear that the master of ceremonies will ask her a question or ask her to make a speech. Girls are not by nature disposed to be selfish or to have anything at all to themselves, but the art girls seem to have a corner on the Art Department. It is very seldom you see a ufeatherless biped in their quarters. If you do he is generally more interested in the artist than in the art. ' This department has among its members those of varied ages ranging from the young girls who paint pictures of cats and rabbits to the young lady who paints pictures of her brother, and other girls' brothers, thence to the modest old maid who paints pictures of landscapes, waterfalls and mountains, thence to the mother who paints Tom and Jane, Pa and Ma. The Art Department is a good place to goto dispel the blues. To see the artist before the easel is inspiring. Students of Drake University, when you are lonely and homesick visit the Art Department, banish doubts and add six months to your earthly pilgrimage. WlEDiCHl..1QDEPAR TWIEIIIT We would give other mottoes, but the homreopathist seems to be the only one that can furnish us with one, so we will take itg although its meaning may not come in close contact with the poor Prep wandering sad and lone through the king- doni of thefLatin primer, Caesar, Cicero, etc., it is the best one we :now o . - All science depends on certain theories as bases. Chemistry depends for its laws upon the atomic theoryg astronomy. upon Newton's law of gravitationg mathematics must suppose the unit in order to have a basis from which to start, medicine is not a science, but approaches as near to it as any of the pro- fessions. And who knows but what some unknown student in the Drake medical school may sit at the feet of the medical Minerva until he shall unloose some secret lock that will lead man to discover some road leading into fields of perpetual happiness and immortal youtl1, without crossing the cold and terrifying Jordan that Hows between man and a futurity? May it not be, although the elixir of Hermes Trismegitus, the balmy isles of the Zlilgean, the sunny clime of Italy, the learning of the alchemist, the wandering of De Soto and Ponce-de-Leon have not furnished eternal happiness, may not some Drake medical student make a discovery that will? Among all people lawyers, preachers and doctors play an important part. The preacher marries the people. the doctor kills them, and the lawyer looks to the estate, if there is any left after the doctor bill is paid. But why not pay the doctor well? lt is he who banishes pain from the head and stomach, erases the wrinkles from the brow, brings fire back to the eye, and causes the blood of youth to follow the veins. It was a frightful picture that Talmage drew of the resur- rection of the body when legs would be seen flying through the air from all directions to find the man to which they belong, and arms and other parts would be seen inquiring where Mr. So and So could be found. If this is the way it is to be done, we immediately rise up and ask how a man is to collect himself after the medics have analyzed his frame? He might as well undertake to do it if he had been cremated, and then his ashes blown by the winds of the heavens to all parts of the earth. I do not know, but I would not be much surprised if some fellow who has a hard time finding all his parts, or, perhaps, never finds rhem, will witness many dam- aging things against some Drake medic who little dreamed of such a thing when he was using the dissecting knife.

HISTORY OF LAW CLASS OF '96, In college days he used to lie On shady banks of brooks, l Which bahhled soft accompannnents To what he read in hooks. Now he has laid his studies by, To seek the legal dime, And quite forgetting other days, He lies most all the time. Witlioiit the history of the first organized Junior Law Class that has been in Drake, we would feel that something was left undone. Judge Cole, in speaking of this class, said: lt is the best and largest class we have ever hadand. with its flattering prospects of an increase next year, it will no fj - 111 - doubt be the best class ever graduated from the universitvf' Dean Cole, Ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Iowa, has now entirely quit practicing and gives his whole time to teaching. This is one of the reasons why the present Junior class is the Altair of all its predecessors, but the principle thing that has given this class such a marked superiority is the fact that they have free access to Judge Cole's library, which is one of the finest in the west. Not only do they have access to the judge's library, but they also have access to this great teacher's private oHice and his private instruction in the unravelling of knotty questions. No business, unless of the most urgent nature, will keep the Judge from iinpart- ing counsel and instruction to the student that calls at his office. This class has no scraps. The Seniors, being so manifestly inferior, acknowledge and recognize their superiority. But occasionally, when the medics get to casting down skulls and chests and legs and other parts of the human frame on the boys, the disciples of Blackstone put a quietus on the medical men with the utmost dispatch. No mistake, all the Juniors in school are in the lead and bear the palm alone. Two of the most distinguishing features of this class are. lirst, its Judge O. U. Cole Debating Club. in which rules of order are freely discussed and parliamentary scraps hailed with pleasure, the silver question and the financial situation con- sidered and settled as they should be. Second, the moot court where the young lawyer convinces the jury that John Smith should be sent to jail ten years for stealing chickens, and that Sam Jones for the murder of Bill Brown should he hung. ln this court all questions of law are discussed and all forms of the court gone through. lu our courts twenty thousand decisions are made annually and two hundred volumes are written containing court reports. In the United States six thousand students are studying law. With this vast number of students the Junior class will enter into the making of decisions and the writing of volumes. The past work of our courts piles up in mountain rangesg the future will be just as great. Will the Junior of '96 be felt in this momentous work? The Junior and the Junior class will be felt. A. J.

The completion of the observatory and the l1lOLlllt1Ilg.Of the telescope i11 December, 189-L, mark that month as contai ll- ing one of the most important events 111 tl1e history of the university. U . The telescope is 1231ncl1es'lo11g and has an ohiect glass 81- inches in diameter. This glass WHS around b.V, MY'- Brashear, of Alleghany, Pai, and ,IS known as the Hastings' Brashear glass, which glass is gaining a. world-wide reputation. The telescope was mounted by VVarner Sz Swasey, of Qleve- land, Ohio, two of the best WOI'liYl18I'1,.1f not the best in tl1e land. In the mounting- of this instrument beauty .and perfection are combined with conveniences for easy manipu- lation. Drake now has a telescope only surpassed by two or three in our country. An object viewed through it is magnified eight, hundred ti111es. It makes Jupiter appear six t1n1es its large as the moon, and shows its belts and moons perfectly. t 5 will show stars that .Herschel never saw. It will photograph heavenly bodies that cannot be seen witl1 the naked eye. Although not as large as SO1118 instruments we might mention. yet it is the best of its size in the world and has many improvements of later invention that 110 other instrument has. The nineteentl: century, above all others, has been marked by its interest in the investigation of things beyond the known. Drake has always striven to keep herself in the fore files of tl1ose who are seeking for new truths. To tl1is end the telescope was placed in our midst, and not only will tl1e students and friends look to Drake as an astronomical point, but by having such an instrument the city of Des Moines will point to her with pride. The State of Iowa will be interested in her reports, and the world will point to her as a conspicu- ous point in astronomical investigation. We have a 11ew telescope: we have in it a great attraction, and we have what few colleges can say they have. History of The Y. Q. ilk. The Y. M. C. A. is no longer an experiment. lts object-- the education and development of the entire man-is being accomplished. The threefold nature of man is being called forth. The gymnasium is recognized as having an important place in the education and development of mang it being rec- ognized that a man Without a strong body is not a strong man. The mind is not neglected. In the night schools of every well regulated Y. M. C. A. the common branches and the Bible are taught. Here many a young man receives a stimulus for something nobler and better in life. Then the spiritual nature of man receives its uplift in the midweek prayer-meeting and Lord's Day worship. Many a young man ?nnEtrzEe the implanting of the noblest aims of his life to the . . . A. On October 21, 1887, Prof. L. M. Cushman met seven or eight stglehrkts inghe library forlthe purpose of organizing a college . . C. . et us see iow nearly this organization is fulfilling its general purpose. At the second weekly meeting the organization was completed and the model con- stitution adopted. The constitution was amended before long, and has since been modified and changed in minor points as the growth and peculiar needs of the organization has demanded. The weekly .meeting was held at first on Friday, 4:15 P. M., then changed to Thursday at the same hour, and finally to Lord's Day afternoon at three o'clock. Among other topics for prayer and discussion, the missionary topic was presented every four weeks. On the whole there has been a steady growth. New members have been received at almost every meeting. Feeling the need of being recognized as a legalinstitution, onthe 12th day of October, 1891, the Drake University Y. M. C. A. was incorporated. A gymnasium committee was appointed in May of the same year. ln the Fall of '92 95500 was borrowed, and later more was added to it. With this as a basis the same year found the new Y. M. C. A. room well equipped. The baths were not complete until the begin- ing of the school year in '93. But Drake now has the best equipped college gymnasium in the state. Home field days have been held the last three or four years. These contests have done much to increase the desire for athletic training. We have had a competent physical director for the last two years, and to-day finds the Y. M. C. A. with this gymnasium almost paid for, and even beginning to think of larger quarters. The Y. M. C. A. has had entertainments and social meetings from the first, which have greatly aided in gaining the sym- pathy of the students. For the last two years the Y. M. C. A., in connection with the Church of Christ at University Place, has furnished one of the best lecture courses that has ever been given in the city. This year a volunteer lecture course was given and has proved a success in every particular. It brought people to the church and college who seldom if ever came for any other attraction, and this could but have a good effect. Although the Bible is studied systematically in the uni- versity, the Association has had its regular Bible classes, which have pursued regular courses of study, supplementary to the regular Bible work of the school. The personal Workers' class has also been an active but silent worker for good. Several students each year are brought into the Church through its influence. Owing to a conflict with the Sunday school at University Place, the Lord's Day meetings were dis- eontinuedg the Sunday-school time has been changed, and the question of beginning the meetings again is being quite seriously agitated. The students' prayer-meeting, controlled by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. has been more largely attended this year than ever before. Every department is growing in strength. u . History of tb The Y. W. C. A. at Drake has as yet attained no great age. But in spite of its being only a comparatively new thing, it has done work that any similar association might well be proud to claim. The Association was organized by Miss Reynolds, the state organizer of the Y.'W. C. A.. January 7, 1890, with the fol- lowing otlicersz Mabel Van Meter, Presidentg Edith Maltby, Secretary: Mamie Dewey, Treasurer: Jessie Sankey, Corres- ponding Secretary. The Association has progressed slowly, doing its work among the girls ofthe school in a quiet but effective way. The Bible class conducted this year, by Miss Ella Over- holt, formerly a teacher in Jamaica, has done excellent work. The class meets every Tuesday evening for a quiet hour of study, followed by devotional exercises. led by one of the girls. The gymnasium has been.an important feature of the Y. W. C. A. for the past three years. We have one of the finest gymnasiums in the state. Miss Cady, a most enthusiastic and competent instructor, has conducted the class for the past year. It has increased rapidly under her management e .Y. W. Q. A. and now numbers over sixty. Surely this is what we need PHUOIIE Ollr Colleges. We want women thoroughly -equipped to till any position to which they may be calledg strong phys- ically, spiritully and mentally. The students' prayer-meeting, held every VVednesday even- ing in the college chapel, is under the auspices of the two Associations. The prayers offered and earnest words spoken at these meetings have changed the hearts and lives of many young men and women. Truly the good resulting from such gatherings is not to be estimated. Like the tiny mustard seed dropped into favorable soil, or the little acorn that becomes a spreading oak, so the right word dropped into a. sorrowful or troubled heart may grow and spread to many lives. When everything else fails to bring our girls out to the business meetings t.he teas usually succeed. For where is the girl who does not like a pickle, a bun and a cup of tea? Mrs. Williams has done much to draw the girls closer together by her pleasant, motherly ways. In her capacity as matron or counselor she fills a vacancy that has long been felt. The Volunteer ission Band- No department of the Y. M. C. A. has been a greater force for good than the Volunteer Band. Although there were volunteers in the school almost from the beginning of the Y. M. C. A., there seems to have been no permanent band organ- ized until some time in '91. V The following year two boys returning to school from the Lake Geneva Summer School began to work for volunteers. The result was that the band was increased to more than forty members before the year closed. It has been growing steadily since, though not so rapidly. There are now on the roll between fifty and sixty names. Three or four of those whose names appear upon the roll have changed their minds in regard to going to the foreign field. This is sad, but not strange, when we think of the rapid growth the band has had. Four have been added to the band this year and more are earnestly considering the matter. Miss Wirick sailed for Japan in July in 1890, giving her- self to her Master and going instead of another volunteer, Belle Bennett, who was drowned in the fall of ,89. ln the last two years four of the band have gone to foreign fields- two to Japan, one to Armenia and one to Norwayg another, Bro. Jeu Hawk, is working among his own people in Port- land, Oregon. About twenty volunteers are in school and the others are scattered in diflerent parts of the United States. .S 'NN ., H. . ' ' .'

Athens is noted for her literary programs, her ability to clean house and eat bananas, her social ability, her oratorical power and her athletic superiority. One of the peculiar characteristics of Athens, as the school teacher said to the had boy, is order. To prove this point: Once a certain one broke the gavel handle. Now this gavel was made of wood from Washing- ton's old homestead, Mt. Vernon, and was considered a very valuable piece of furniture. As the perpetrator of this piece of society treason would not with the mouth confess that he broke the gavel handle, it was decided to call the roll and to require each member to swear yes or no to the following oath: Do you solemnly swear that you did not break the gavel handle? This most rigid method of procedure ferreted out the committer of this high crime against the society. But the society is merciful, and as the miscreant repented in sackcloth and ashes and lixed the gavel handle, he was for- given and went on his way rejoicing. Another special characteristic of the Athenians is the cus- tom of doing things according to parliamentary usage. One night they discussed whether they would allow the oratorical and musical students to use the hall. Mr. Motion Maker moved that we allow the oratorical students to use the hall one hour one day each week. Mr. Objector, with all his power and dignity, rose and objected to the consideration of the question. This objection failed, but the scrap began when the Hon. Mr. Amender of Motions amended the motion so as -125 to allow the said oratorical students to use the hall one hour two days in each week. And the iight grew warmer and warmer and warmer. The oratorical members frowned, the treasurer kicked, the kicker kept kicking, and those who were in for fun had the fun. But at this point Mr. Amender of Amendments, which is by interpretation, Mr. Postponer of Questions, moved to amend the amendment so as to include musical students and to allow them to use the hall one hour one day each week. Here Mr. Layer of Motions On the Table twho is very tricky in parliamentary scrapsj, moved to table the question. This failed. Then Mr. Layer of Motions On the Table, whose middle name is Commit, moved ,to com- mit. To this Mr. Kicker, whose sweetheart is an oratorical student, kicked, as also others did. Then Mr. Layer of Motions Qn the Table, whose surname is Previous Question. moved the previous question. This previous question business muddled the president, but let it be said they had an awful cute, unassuming, good looking president. Mr. Point of Order, Mr. Appeal, Mr. May I Ask a Question, Mr. Finer and Mr. Adjourner could hardly be kept down, and were so noisy, and were bothering the cute, unassuming, good looking presi dent to such an extent that Mr. Secretary Qwho some of the boys said was in love with the cute. unassuming, good looking presidentj, jumped to his feet and made several hot speeches. But Mr. Finer moved we fine Mr. Secretary, the man in love, fifty cents if he did not keep his seat. This cooled Mr. Sec- retary, the man in love with the cute, unassuming, good look- ing president, for the rest of the evening. Thus went the scrap until all the motions pending were disposed of. But nothinv was done that was not done decentl and in order. E , n No one Got out of humor and the cute, ll!lilSSllIl'llll0' ffood c 5 n c , u E looking president said she was completely mortified and would Jet even with Mr. A ealer From the Decision of the Chair, r-, P I who was to follow her as resident. When Mr. A3 ealer , . . . . .l . l' rom the Decision of the Chair took his seat he received his parliamentary initiation in good spi r1t. buthe got so befuddled and let the scrappers so badly razzle dazzle him, he was more apt to make a wrong decision than a correct one.

The jolly, good-natured, fun-loving Atheniansg The hard-working, trustful, dutiful Athenians, Once had a reception, unless its a dream, They played and marched and ate ice cream, And peaches and California grapes, white, Until past twelve o'clock at night. Now we had a janitor both cranky and new, Being thus he took a terrible spew. I-Iis pent up anger he could hardly hold Until morning, when on us our president he told. Presidents face took on many shades As he said, we want no more midnight raids. Next our janitor got hot about the chairs, So we were told to leave them down stairs. And when he pounded on the door did'nt he tear When we told him to get away from there. For the jolly Athenians did'nt care, Because it did them good to see him rear.

Alethea is a society that always welcomes the new students. Their social qualities are remarkable and the stranger is greeted kindly in Ewart Hall. There is a sense of being at home when one enters the cozy room, with its refined furnishings, tasteful decorations and modern arrange- ment. All Aletheans are friends, or better, brothers and sis- ters. Their programs are entertaining, especially in the line of music. Many of the members are skilled musicians and more are oratorical students whose powers of entertainment are unlimited. But their special accomplishment lies in the art of decorating. All Alethean can endure almost anything in the line of a failure in the program, but should the decor- ations fail they are humiliated. Scene: Ewart Hall.-Executive Committee meeting. fCalled for the purpose of arranging a special programj Is the dusting done? We must have some flowers or it can't be a success. Will it be roses or cbrysanthemums? The treasury is low, but it must be done. A bouquet on the pedestal, palms on the rostrum, a wreath on the critic's table, and a sunflower in everybody's buttonhole. The president will appear best with a back ground of foliage, and there must be a branch of apple blossoms for the piano. Three committees are appointed: T To secure flowers. To gather leaves. To arrange artistically. And best of all a committee of ten to procure a natural foun- tain with living water. It won't take more than two days, and lessons can go for that time. Things will look beautiful! Everything aside till this is ove1'. The music will be the best in the city. Adjourned. Too late now, but we should have said something about the program. Our friends will be delighted if the decorations are a success. .Aletliea was never known to fail in artistic effects. We can't be equaled there. CHARACTERISTICS.

Show me thy hand that I may read thee, sirg For traced thereon ln characters writ large, Do thy soul's dearest secrets plain appear To him who owns the subtle skill to read. Palmistry is the ancient method of divination, but it is not known when, or by whom, it was discovered. It was popular among the Egyptians and Greeks, and was practiced in India from time immemorial. Alexander the Great, was presented with a book on cbironlancy written in gold letters, which was considered worthy the attention of his elevated and inquiring mind. A little later the palmists were called witches and sorcerers, and were subjected to fearful persecution, but the day when people were burned for practicing divinations is past. Two hundred years ago the Salem witches were burned at the stake but the time when such devices were looked upon with discredit is passed, and the Aletheans, no longer fearing such treatment, have commenced to revive the lost art. At their parties and receptions, palmistry is often intro- duced as a source of profit and amusement. Many Alethcans are by this subtle means made sure of their future success or failure. They enter a ghostly room which seems to be haunted by the spirits from the under world. A grinning jack la.ntern glares upon the victim as he enters and immedi- ately his mind is filled with the vision of all his past sins. He expects to clasp the hand of a human being but every- thing human has disappeared from this place, and a damp, clammy hand is placed in his which clearly has no connection with any human form. Its iciness semis a shudder through his whole being, he is impressed with the terribleness of the situation and is at the mercy of the palmist, who is crouched upon the floor and robed in white. The fate, health and life lines are traced and described, the love line is universally found to be broken and complicated. but indicates wonderful success in the end. The bracelet of wealth is plainly marked, happiness is predicted in abun- dance, and the head line is supposed to be the most prominent and striking feature of the whole hand. h It is a terrible ordeal to pass through but when the mys- tified Alethean emerges from this spirit world he is inspired with new hopes for the future, the love affairs which seemed so heart rending before now appear to him in a new light for he is assured of success in the endg he feels the burden of many nnsuspected and undeveloped faculties which he now intends to display in glowing colors before the rest of human- ity. In his imagination he counts his golden rlucats, and his happiness is even now at its climax. his swelling brain begins to fill its supposed dimensions, and he is generally in good spirits because he is assured of eternal prosperity and ever- lasting bliss. 4' n 1. 4 Signet Qbaraeteristies. The most important factor in a college life outside the class room is the literary society. It is here we come in close touch with the literary ability of our fellow studentsg it is here our elbows touch and we come to know who our school mates and friends are. It is here we form those close relations that exist between students and it is also here we know some to shun them. It is here we learn to stand the tire of criti- cism and learn to stand or give way to the tongue of flattery. In the literary society learning rubs against learning: intellect clashes with intellect: life touches life and souls respond to each other. In Drake all the societies have marked and widely differ- ent characteristics. But none has its distinction marked more clearly than Signet. Signet from its founding has had indomitable will and unflinching courage that works when the waves are boisterous and high, when the streams are swollen and winds blow adverse. At times Signet has almost relaxed hold and consigned herself to the Infinite. Signet although not noted for scraps and parliamentary wrangling nevertheless has a peculiar way of waging and carrying parliamentary usage so far as to keep some lovable people at society until the hour becomes late., when the fact is well known that some of the sturdy Signet boys and mis- chievous lasses would rather be wending their way homeward or in any direction, for that matter, if it was accompanied with the pleasure the Signets generally get out of their night perambulations. Its members have various distinguishing features. One 11 ' fellow. almost a cynic, is hardly ever known to smile. I-le is generally seen alone and not within the knowledge of any one did he ever room with anybody, and he himself says he would not room with an angel. But then - he is not likely to and is destined if we are not badly mistaken to live in single miserableness. He has no love for foot-ball, the college dude and class scraps: and is veritably opposed to woman's suffrage and has a standing antipathy against all the arts of Cupid and never smiles on the girls, nor do the girls on ' him. Another distinguishing feature of Signet, is the number of irrepressible mugwumps and socialists and third party men it has among its talented politicians. Many are the pessimistic efforts made by these prophets who see no good in a democrat or a republican, and very little that is commendable in the government of the United States of America. These social- istic members are always raising questions as to the constitu- tionality of measures, and are long-headed fellows. While the fellows are good thinkers. etc.. it is sometimes very weari- some to hear them expound their ideas. Again, Signet is noted for her taffy pulls, at which the sport is to get as much tatly on some one else as possible. But they go beyond these taffy pulls and are widely known for the number of socials given by either the boys or girls. When one of these is about to be inflicted on the boys ffor the boys nevergive one unless the girls put a motion through business meet.ing for them to do sol it causes a waving of Roberts' Rules of Order. rising to points of order, appealing and scheming mirubilc diem. But the boys, because they are more adept at scrapping and also because of their familiarity with tricks and their willingness to shirk duty, ,usually avoid giving any of these socials. Many are the bril- liant and touching speeches made by the Signet sister in trying to convince the invincible part of the society that they ought to entertain the ladies in social matters once in awhile. Many, manv times the girls have had smiles on their faces when they could almost taste the ice cream, but, alas! a motion to indefinitely postpone the matter soured the cream. Signet has what is called a financial characteristic. To hear the treasurer's reports makes the Signet member scringe, because it is almost sure to read society in debt. A Signet cannot endure the thought of not meeting bills, so some legal member will rise and move an assessment, which generally fails until the ayes and nays are called. and those who have failed to pay their term dues are not allowed to vote. The Signet, while in school, is learning along with his Greek and Latin the lesson of giving. This society does not lack for that which causes mirth and laughter. Some things are funny that are read in books, but they are not nearly as funny as the fun produced by a living clown. Signet has one clown if not more among her num' ber who are always surprising their members and oftimes surprise those who are not members. These peculiar people do nothing save to cause people to use their diaphragmic muscles more when they turn their risibilities loose and to break the melancholy spells of gloom and despondency that sometimes creep over the students, especially the new student. Signet has been noted from its earliest existence for its literary programs. Although they never have anything novel or anything causing people to think they are putting on, yet they do have an old-fashioned literary program, aye, they have the old school house debate and such questions as, is marriage a failure, and is it more profitable to study sitting in the shade on the campus, in the room, etc., are discussed with as much fervor and eloquence as Clay used in presenting his compromise bills or Webster used in defending the con- stitution or replying to Heine: with as much eloquence and convincing powers as the revolutionary fathers used to fire the colonials to action, or as much as Garrison and Phillips used during the times of slavery.

'ffl' Berea 17 Friday Night Mr. President, I move that this society do, on Saturday next, with all their individual wives and children, betake themselves to some shady nook, to enjoy the beauties -of nature, and the lunch to be prepared by said wives. Second the motion, Mr. President. Mr. President, I 'object to this motion on several grounds: firstly, the weather is very likely to be extremely humid about that time, and we do not wish to soil our new Spring clothes by coming in contact with Mother Earth, nor to have the nap disarranged on our new silk hats, nor to injure our elegant, new style, gold-headed canes by pressing them into the moist ground, secondly, we have not the time to spare from our studiesg at least, we have not who ale studying Homiletics, Church History, Harmony, Greek. Latin, Hebrew, Geometry, and Hermeneutics. Those are all of my studies excepting a literature class which requires no preparation, and which, therefore, I do not count, and my work is no harder than any of yoursg thirdly, Oh! Bereans think of our Friday night program. The time was when our programs were all impromptu, but now how can we write acceptably on 'The Fundamental Underlying Principles ofthe Newly Expouuded Philosophy of the Most Successful and Etiicient Method of Procuring a Congregation,' if our minds in their carnality are thinking of the next day's pleasure? Fourthly, if we attend this picnic, which, pardon me,I must call frivolous, we will all miss our trains and thus be unable to fill our next day appointments, and you know full well our motto has ever been: Bcisiijess Nleeiirpg. Count that Sunday lost Whose low descending sun, Views from thy hand No eight dollars and expenses won. Fifthly-if it were not for our dignity, we could do this: for. were the Bereans ever known to have a good social time? Ah! nog leave that to the light-hearted, and as we think, light-headed Philos, but for us-none of it. Sixthly, we must fix this place in the roof to keep it from leaking when 1t rains, and we should not 'waste our substance in riotous llVlllg., Seventhly and lastly, oh! my brethren, I understand that, on that day, the Aletheans expect to have a picnic anid. when I think of the old time feud between us, I can but think that one grove could not hold both societies, for tho' I preach heap- ing coals of tire on the enemyls head, I can but admire and agree with one of our own number, who after condemn- ing the anger which some have fianiing up in their hearts till it 'licks the very cob-webs from Godls eternal dome, said these most charitable words: 'I will love my enemies, but oh! l will despise some of their actions' And so, oh, my fellow Bereaus, I am heartily opposed to this. i Does any one else wish to speak? If so, let lnm now speak or forever hold his peace. n Question. Question. Question. Those in favor of motion say ' aye.' Those opposed. 7, n H Aye, ff Aye, Aye. Aye Aye. Aye.

She entered the ring, went in training, and games were not arranged for until late, yet at the close of the sea- son slie stood among the foremost teams, having been victori- ous over the city Y. M. C. A. team by a score of 18 to 6. The Y. M. C. A.'s claim the championship of the state, hav- ing humiliated Grinnell by a score of 12 to 6. We were twice successful and twice defeatedg once at Panera and once at Indianola. These two teams won from us through our lack of training, our trainer having been with Aus then only a week or two. At Panora we lost through much careless fumbling, at Indianola we went to pieces and they did the rest. As it was, four games were played, two of which were won -18-6 and 16-45 the first two lost-22-0 and 18-0. Wlien Thanksgiving closed the season, we were easily equal to any team in the state. Our men were all line individual players, and the team work was systematic. In the Y. M. C. A. game only two errors were made in the whole game. Every man did work at the right time and with an interest. And when the victory was ours, oh! how the boys did yell! The bell was rung and Drake was indeed happy. The team averaged 160 pounds per man. The personel was as follows: W. W. Wharton. the trainer and captain, was born at Indianapolis, Ind., May 14, 1872. He received his first foot- ball instructions at Eureka College, under Sport Donnelly. He played as quarter-back in that team one season, the next fall was made captain, and the following year was their coach. He is a good all-round player, and as quarter-back and captain was well worthy that responsible position. Jeffrey Patten. our genial full-back, has been living in Des Moines since 1876, and has a great reputation among the fel- lows Qand a greater one among the ladiesl for his pleasant face and superior athletic abilities. He first played foot-ball at the West Side Des Moines High School, where he was their hero. '94 was his first year at Drake and well did he acquit himself, worthily receiving the best write-up given any man in the team by Des Moines papers. Jeff weighs 145 pounds and says he wears number seven shoes. He is the best full-back in the city. Cooper, center-rush, has played with Drake two years and is a sure man, who keeps his head, plays fast and sure. His 12 -1 50 birthday is unknown, but it must have been a LONG time ago. He is six feet four and weighs 187 pounds. C. L. Persons and Sweet Murray were right and left guards. Both good meng steady, strong, nervy, discreet and, excepting the latter, always on time. Persons was born August 4. 1872. Shoulder to shoulder with these two men worked two of the best men in the team-John Cathcart and Mr. Nichol. John has been one of the faithfuls for years, and lcnew his job. Just ask any of the boys if he does not. There never was a more trusty and determined tackle than Nichol. But its all over.now. Hels married. These two men averaged 175. Geeslln played one year with Garfield University. As end man he played excellent ball. Mr. McFarland, left end, is as sure as any, when he takes the notion. He has played professional base ball for a num- ber of years. Briefly, he is a star. . B. E Mcliibbon and Harry McCormack are two of the best half-hacks in the state of Iowa. The former is twenty-three years old, has won much reputation as an athleteg played with Lincoln. Nebraska, in the Western Base Ball Association last year. McK's. reputation as a foot-ball player can say more than lines can here. The latter was born September 7, 1876, weight 150, played last year end and half-back. He is a sure ground gainer. The second team won 186 points and lost 22, having played Des Moines' best teams. Their best men were Schee, Roe. Cline, Hamilton, Burt and Kingman, who frequently subed for the visitors.
