Those of you who have observed, know that we have worked diligently and our purpose has been to eclipse all previous Annuals. How near we have succeeded,we will leave for you to decide. As each succeeding class attempts to improve upon the work of its predecessor, the difficulty increases many fold. Our standard has been high and we feel that we have not reached its fullest limits. In compiling this Annual we are indebted very greatly to those who have contributed sketches, made suggestions and in any way showed their interest in the undertaking. It is a University book. and not a book of the Junior Class. We feel that you will all overlook the mistakes and rather speak of the good qualities of our work. To those who have helped us in any way we express our most hearty appreciation of their efforts. THE BOARD OF EDITORS. Zinarh nf 7 hitnrz.

DRAKE Jllremriz illllarinn Brakr. 1 RANCIS MARION DRAKE was born at Rushville, Illinois, December 50, 1850. Died at Centerville, Iowa. November 20, 1905. Some sixty years ago a travel-worn horseman, overtaken by night. rode up to a home at Fort Madison, Iowa, and asked the housewife whether she had a book that directed her to entertain strangers. She promptly replied, Yes sir. Our family Bible is always on the center table, The traveler was one of the first of the pioneer preachers of the Church of Christ to cross the Mississippi river into the Iowa Territory, and the home was that of John Adams Drake, father of the subject of this sketch. The elder Drake was a native of North Carolina, his family belonging to the southern aristocracy, and rich in lands and slaves. He was orphaned when but a lad, and, on coming into his estate, engaged in a mercantile business, in which his partner involved him in financial ruin. Without money or prospects he could not bear to stay in the old environments, and, coming north, he arrived at Rushville. Illinois. in 1850. Possessed of the energy which is so strongly characteristic of the family, he set about recouping his fortune in the new country. For two years he wrought with saw and hammer and plane. He then began the practice of law. He was chosen justice of the peace, and later. probate judge, being the Judge Drake mentioned in Winston Churchill's Crisis, In 1852 he removed to Fort Madison, where he practiced law till 184-6. He then went to Davis county and laid out the town of Drakeville. where he conducted a successful mercantile busi- ness until 1875, when he sold his interests and engaged in banking, In 1877 he removed to Centerville, where he followed the banking business till his death. May 15, 1880. He was raised a Baptist. His wife was a Methodist. While in Rushville, one of the pioneer preachers won their hearts to the new plea for the restoration of primitive Christianity, A daughter says of them: From that day their home was the preachers' home. Their time and money were devoted to the cause. Their good deeds have been many. This brief chapter of family history gives some index to the source of the matchless courage and indomitable will that carried General Drake through his remarkable career-qualities that served him well amid the stirring experiences of the pioneer days in which his early life was cast. When he had barely attained his majority, he led two expeditions across the plains with ox teams and droves of cattle to California, which was then in the midst of the gold excitement. The entire journey of 2,000 miles was imperiled by the Indians. who were incensed at the white man for encroaching upon their hunting grounds and killing or fright- ening away their game. The perils of hardship were scarcely less formidable. The next epoch in his life was his military career. in which he won marked distinction, as in every other sphere in which he was called to act. 9 I At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 he was engaged in merchandising at Unionville, Iowa. With his characteristic energy and promptness he organized a company of volunteers at the first call, and was elected and commissioned its captain. Joining Col. Edwards' command, he was commissioned major, and ren- dered conspicuous service in the border warfare in northern Missouri. In 1862 he was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the newly organized 56th Iowa Infantry. I-Iis sagacity, courage and resourcefulness caused him to be detailed for numerous independent commands. The history of the war perhaps records no more brilliant actions than his defense of Elkin's Ford. Arkansas. April 10, 18641, and his defense of a supply train at what was known as the battle of Mark's Mills on the 25th of the same month. While Colonel Drake, in com- mand of a brigade of 1,500 men, was convoying a train of several hundred wagons, he was attacked by a force of 6,000 cavalry. The battle raged for five or six hours. Seven desperate charges of the enemy were repulsed. While Drake was forming his men for a charge he was struck in the left thigh by a Bel- gian bullet. Most of his men were captured. Major Byers' Iowa in War Times gives a thrilling account of the battle. Drake's wound was pronounced mortal and he was not held a prisoner. I-le was sent home, and after six months' nursing returned on crutches to rejoin his command. The field and general officers united in recommending him for promo- tion, On account of special gallantry and hard and efficient service. I-Ie was brevetted brigadier general of U. S. Volunteers and assigned to duty commensu- rate with his rank. I-Ie commanded a brigade in Arkansas, and later held the post at Duvall's Bluff till he was mustered out in September, 1865, The next period of his life shows him with the same courage, sagacity. and prophetic insight. devoting his fine powers to the development of the material resources of the new country. I-Ie recognized the building of railroads as the best possible agency for this, and built no less than five lines of road, thus devel- oping vast sections of the choicest parts of the country, and bringing prosperity to thousands of his fellow countrymen. As a railroad president and director of men, it has been said that he never had a strike or labor difficulty. The people of southern Iowa, who had profited by his enterprises, and most appreciated his work, felt that his career ought to be crowned with the highest honor they could bestow, and so proposed his name for the office of governor of the state. The proposal was greeted with general enthusiasm, and in 18941 he was elected by an almost unprecedented majority to this high office. I-Iis administration has been characterized as a business administration, in which the same principles that had brought him such eminent success in the business world were applied to public affairs. A severe fall and the reopening of his army wound imperiled his life, com- pelling him to relinquish the honor of the customary second term and decline to be a candidate for re-election. During the remaining six years of his life he was very frail. I-Ie disposed of most of his railroad interests, but continued to give much of his attention to business. I0 The most important part of General Drake's life is yet to be mentioned. lt was his philanthropy. His life was early given to his Divine Master, and he felt that true service to Him involved the consecration of his talents to God and humanity. He was largely blessed with the talent to make money, and it was a glad privilege for him to make it the agency of preaching and teaching, and of helping in every good cause that was brought to his knowledge. No deserving appeal from any source was turned away. His largest gifts, however, were directed toward the advancement of Christianity through the building of churches. the support of evangelists and missionaries, and the fostering of Christian educa- tion. General Drake's gifts were the largest of any man the Church of Christ has produced up to the present time. No church has been built in Iowa during the past twenty-five years that did not receive a substantial gift from him if the matter was called to his attention. He gave large sums to be expended under the direction of all the various missionary boards, and to the State Board for the evangelization of his own state. He made the initial gifts that secured schools for the education of native missionaries in Japan, China, and India. The beautiful library building at Centerville is one of many substantial expressions of his loyalty to the town which had been his home for forty-one years, and his interest in the highest welfare of its people for all time to come. But his crowning work of philanthropy was the founding and fostering of Drake University. The grand total of his gifts to it was 3B252,0Z6.4-6-almost a quarter of a million dollars. These gifts have been distributed through the years at critical times, where most needed, beginning with the 320,000 pledge that made the school possible at the start. It was part of his policy to stimulate others to give, for he felt that the larger the number thus committed to its inter- ests, the greater would be its assurance of success. He often said that he didn't want any one to feel that the university belonged to him, but to the church, and for this reason he thought his gifts should bear only a certain proportion to the whole. lt would have been his great pleasure to give more lavishly if others had met his frequent propositions to give dollar for dollar for all that they would raise. Indeed, in his last years, he was pained that these eager challenges were not more freely taken up, as he realized that his end was drawing near, and was so solicitous that he might see the beloved institution firmly established. ln the last three years his haste could not wait. The Auditorium in 1900 was his sole gift, as was also the building for the Musical Conservatory in 1905. The Medical building of 1905 was assured by his large initial gift, as is the case with the Law and Bible College buildings to be erected this year. When the Board of Trustees was first organized he was chosen President, and held the office continuously till his death. The prosperity which constantly attended the school from the beginning was fraught with perils, for its resources were painfully inadequate for the demands of the army of young people that flocked to its halls, and the pressure to exceed the income in an effort to meet the responsibility thus created was insistent, requiring the utmost sagacity and ll wisdom to keep the proper mean which would give the greatest possible consider- ation to these calls, without wrecking the institution. In every emergency Gen- eral Drake was the one to whom all turned, and his clear judgment, coupled with his large experience in affairs, guided it safely through every crisis. General Drake often spoke of the University as the best investment he ever made. He loved it with all the tenderness of a father. He was always given an ovation when he appeared before the students. In all his chapel speeches, the keynote was Christian Character, and thousands of students will carry through life the impress of his earnest plea for this lofty ideal. General Drake's greatness was of the quiet, unobtrusive type. and behind the daring spirit of the pioneer, the dashing courage of the soldier. and the sagacity and nerve of the captain of industry, was the Christian's kindliness of spirit and serenity of soul. The following extract from a personal letter, written by one who had been nearest to him in the home, and who knew him best. throws a flood of light on his inner life: He was taught to respect his father and mother, and all elderly people. He truly loved his brothers and sisters: was always obedient and kind. The Christian home had its influence over him. He united with the church at the age of sixteen. He was never known to speak unkindly of any deserving one, or to let the poor and needy go unattended. ' The University in the onward years will send forth many men and women with talent and potency for good, enhanced by the institution which General Drake's generous life made possible. and such an exemplar in the consecration of talent, ought to mean much in the lives of service which they shall give to the world. Such service will be the most fitting tribute to his memory. i CHARLES O. DENNY. 12 DR. JOHN LAZELLE SAWYERS President of the Board of Trustees Elntrnhnrtinn. 19' T IS our pleasure to introduce to the University community Dr. J. L. Sawyers, the newly elected President of the Board of Trustees. who, as the incumbent of this important office, is destined to sustain a very inti- mate relationship to the life and interests centered here. From the many good reports that have come to us, we are assured that he is happily fitted. by endowments and training, to deal with the intricate problems that will come to him as a leader in the business policies, as well as an adviser in the general inter- ests of the institution. Dr. Sawyers was born at Unionville, Iowa. July 18, 1856. His ancestors have been conspicuous in church and state for more than two hundred years in this country, and for centuries previous in Europe. . His father, Dr. S. H. Sawyers, Sr., practiced medicine in Unionville for forty years, until his death in 1892. He was noted for wide learning. extensive and accurate memory. and cultured deportment. He was successful both as a prac- titioner and a financier, and was a close friend of Governor Drake. His mother, Mary F. Miller, is a native of Tennessee, and lives now at Ottumwa. She is a woman of exceptional endowment of mind and heart. Dr. Sawyers received his earlier education in the public schools of Unionville. and entered Iowa College. but his studies were broken oi? by sickness. Applying for admission to the Chicago Schools of Medicine. he was barred on account of his youth. He therefore took his first medical course at Louisville, graduating at the age of nineteen with highest possible honors. and winning a gold medal for all around excellence. lt may be added that he had been tutored in medicine at home from the time he could talk. He took graduate work in Chicago, after which he served for two years as interne at Cook County Hospital. He then went abroad, finishing at the University of Vienna, making a. special study of the eye. ear and throat. Returning from Europe, Dr. Sawyers married Jennie. second daughter of Ceneral Drake. and settled in Centerville, where he practiced medicine until a year ago. when he sold his practice and good will to a younger brother, Dr. C. E. Sawyers, and once more gratified his passion for research in medicine by going to Baltimore for a course in Johns-Hopkins University. V Dr. Sawyers is an eminent surgeon, and is said to have had the largest private practice in Iowa, being called far and near for surgery .and consultation. The following is an extract from a letter from one who knows him intimately: He is a terrific worker: careful in business: in surgery, daring in the extreme: widely read: intense and uncompromising in his opinions: he has a commanding personality, an indomitable will. and an all around executive ability that is the 14 wonder of all who know him: as a planner and leader, he has had no equal in his part of the state for several years. Dr. Sawyers is president of the Centerville National Bank, and of the Cen- terville Business Men's Association. At a conference of the heirs of General Drake. he was chosen to take full charge of the estate: and his election to the presidency of the Board of Trustees of Drake University was with the hearty approval of all the members ofthe family. I-Iis hearty interest in the institution was evidenced by a s5,ooo gift toward the new medical building. His generosity and devotion to the church are well known. The hope is freely expressed that Dr. Sawyers will eventually make his home in Des Moines. We assure him and his family a most hearty welcome. CHARLES O. DENNY. I 3 HILL MGCLELLAND BELL, A.

OMMENCEMENT was almost over, when 19041 awoke one morning with the feeling that she ought to do something. So the thought came to say good bye to the dear, well known spots dedicated to her memory. Not that she decided all at once about it. Such a proceeding was far from the nature of 1904. But she deliberated for some time without reaching a conclusion, and finally determined to start out and decide on the way. First to the Senior room! Because it was the dearest spot? Oh, no: but because propriety demanded a decent farewell of it. She had lost her key, but the janitor consented to let her in. There the order and neatness was appalling. Even the pillows were scarcely disarranged on the softly inviting window seat. Only a peanut far down in the corner recalled a revel of days gone by. As she slowly mounted the stair, 1904- met one of her own children, who held a manuscript tucked closely under her arm. Why, its my novel, the pet' ulant voice answered to 1904's question. It's just finished. The name? Oh, Hugh Bert, from the hero, you know. So? smiled 19044, turning aside to the German room where Mother Rid- dell was holding forth to two other children. I like a short name. she was say- ing. A simple, common one, isn't it? Yes, so do l. A common one. that's reasonable, answered the quiet voiced one. Yes, chimed in the other madchen. A short name is always better. Naturlich, murmured 1904-. Then softlyshe trod through the library, far down to the corner, where an empty chair, between the tiers of the Bible section, spoke an eloquence of sadness. The Institution of Inquiry into the Psychologi- cal Spirituality cf Heterogeneous Evangelizationu was in its place. Our Gregory is gone, the shelves chanted in sighful melody, and 1904- felt the echo in her heart. Out in the hall. a little one was leaning against the radiator. His eyes were fastened upon space: his face was filled with sorrow. Come, Jacky-boy! 24 1904 laid a hand gently upon the dark curls that were her joy and pride. Tell me all about it, dear: come. But the boy only shook his head, and she was about to leave him, when a young man in a blue sweater almost ran over her. Oh, pardon, he said, shortly. What is the matter? Matter enough. Ioan go in-make a world's record in the pole vault at the World's Fair, if I cut this off, pointing in despair to the adornment on his upper lip. What can Ido? My poor boy, -1904's tones vibrated with sympathy- I cannot advise you. You. and you alone, must decide between them. Where are you going? At the abrupt question, 1904 turned quickly. Nowhere in particular, she answered. Well, why don't you go somewhere? I don't see why people don't do things. Why doesn't the class stick together? Why don't they ring the chapel bell for our exercises? Why don't the boys ask us all to go to the Alumni ban- quet? Why doesn't that girl pay up her Y. W. dues? And she dashed oi? to ask her. - Out under the trees a youth was holding court in the midst of a bevy of pretty maidens. They vanished at 1904's approach, and the youth greeted her with an innocuous smile. Want to know about it? Well, I couldn't call on them all-I'm going to work in the hay fields tomorrow-so I thought I'd let them call on me. They like it. Sit down awhile. No, I won't interrupt. Only don't forget your razor when you go a-haying. Quite apart from this frivolity. 1904 found a daughter poring over a mon' strous book. Oh, meine liebe, she cried. Sie mussen heute nicht studierenf' But I am so tall, complained the girl: and I'm not brilliant nor popular, so I have to be a good student, because that's all there is1eft.' Alas! thought 1904, there is another-why, there she is! Hello there! the girl called out cheerily. Isn't this fine? I'm just going to a reception. Yes, I'm on the programme here later. No, my speech isn't ready, but-I'll bluff it through. It's such fun to bluff. And with another beam- ing smile she sailed on. Somehow 1904 now found herself in a secluded valley, where many trees and no houses abounded. A log, worn smooth near the middle, lay before her. To many a 1904 do you owe that smoothness, she spoke to it. But a voice, evidently from the log, exclaimed petulantly, It wasn't many. I tell you! It was only One-and Another. For many years the One has come. and each succeeding year, the Other that he brings is not the same Other. I-Iow long must I listen for the end?-but see how cruelly he has cut me. --Ah. there were incisions! Two letters-W. A.-a third indistinct. I cannot help it. 1904 replied. I-Ie is unruly and will not obey me. Somewhat later she stood by another log. whose history enjoyed more variety than the first. The swinging log was not alone, and a pair of blue eyes, on 25 whose lashes the tear-drops yet trembled, greeted 1904: I was just thinking, she was told, that there isn't anyone left to swing me now. Where's Win? asked 1904. His mama wanted him. Then I will swing you, she cried. Heigh-ho! She forgot her athletic fame, and her strenuous effort resulted in a crashing that brought the girl to the ground at an unusual rate of acceleration. No, l'm not hurt, the girl panted. But our dear old log is finished. Just as well, said 1904, for so are we. They told me you came in this direction, broke in a voice behind them. A nice mess you've made of it. lf your mo- if you'd come to swing me, it wouldn't have happened, retorted the girl. 1904 discreetly took herself away. After a moment's walk, she halted sud' denly. Someone was talking. She heard a gentle voice say: Yes, Murve -- The woods are full of them, she thought, panic-stricken, as she cautiously withdrew. Back in the walks of civilization 1904 saw approaching her. with an inde- pendent, dare-you-to-deny-me air, a well known igure, surmounted by a red tam. Where are you bound for? She asked. None of your business, came the gracious reply, in a voice as dangerous as the angle at which the red tam was set. Come along, if you want to: I'm hunting bugs for Prof. Ross. No, thank you, answered 1904 meeklyg I fear I haven't time. She was feeling rather badly called down when her hand was grasped vigor- ously, and she beheld before her a solid youth who planted his feet firmly and looked up into her eyes with an expression of calm determination. I-lello, 1904! he began. Been looking for you to say good bye. Me'? -- Yes. The Delphics are all out. All the other fellows are saying good bye to someone. lf you don't want to --- Oh, but I do, interrupted 1904 quickly. Only it is so unusual for any of you to want me. I feel the honor very highly. No honor at all. It's all here, he answered brusquely. A few moments later, on the campus, a yellow head, leaning against a large oak, attracted her attention. The owner of the yellow head and her companion were both deeply engrossed in something the former held in her hand. Coming nearer, 1904 saw that it was a common wood violet, whose petals the girl was removing one by one, while her companion repeated the usual formula. There, Zona: see? holding up the petalless flower. He does. 1904 went away as stealthily as she had come. These quiet girls! Who would have suspected them of being sentimental? 26 Upon the front steps were two youths in earnest confab: one very dark, with the positive gentleness of knowledge in his bearing: the other, light, and inno- cent looking, even to the luxuriant blondness of his moustache. The former was saying: You see, the psychic phenomena are incomprehensibly obscured by the invidiousness -- Yes, yes, interrupted the other. I understand all that -- Of our natural concepts of suprapreperceptionf' he went on, calmly. 1904 felt that it was time to interfere. My son, she said 'kindlyz cut it out. 'iAnd, A. B., turning to him, you'll have brain fever. She heaved a sigh of relief as they departed in different directions. Then she wandered over to the gymnasium. There was the sound of many voices in excited controversy. They were holding a little contest in graft, someone explained to her. Jefferson came out ahead all right, but Mon says Coffman was an easy second and now Johnson is claiming second place. They can't decide it. Why don't they call it a tie and let it go? she asked. The youth looked at her in surprise. They can't do that. It's against the rules. So it is! Then a bright thought struck her. Let's ask Fisher to arbi- trate it, she suggested. There was a general murmur of disapproval. Can't do that. The doctor has forbidden him to give any more decisions- for a year. l-Ie starts tomorrow for Mt. Elixer, where they're going to use a new method of rejuvenation on him. That's good! But what can we do here? There may be a way, answered the one who had first spoken. If Ingels happened to be around, so that a picture of the event -- Then it is all right, said 1904 decidedly. I-las he ever failed to get a picture of anything? ln the vicinity of the stone of 1902 were sounds of conversation. From 1904's viewpoint, only the braided locks of a young girl were visible. But it was not a girl's voice that was saying: No, I believe in teaching Sunday School classes-the right sort of classes. of course-till one is entirely through with the ministerial course. By making a sudden right angle, 1904 reached the sidewalk unobserved. Even there she was superiiuous. though the blissful looking pair ahead of her were unconscious of her existence just then. But ere she was gone, something not meant for her reached her ears. Blanche, did absence make the heart grow fonder?'. For the last time, 1904 followed the winding walk to the main building. On the way. she overtook a wild looking individual, who started as if frightened at her approach. l can't escape them, he groaned. Everywhere they're going around by twos. They always say first, 'Good bye, Brandenburgf though l'm not going away at all. 22 1904- smiled at his disheveled appearance. They had reached the west door. Let us go through this one more time together, she said. Slowly they walked through the hall from west to east, then back again to the center door. And throughout the walk. a strange unearthly sound met their ears: recurring again and again, each time with a lesser cadence. They listened and wondered. Then a light broke over 1904-'s face. I know now! she exclaimed. lt is only John. l-le's been laughing again. and Echo can not let it go. Thus she heard the Last Sad Wail. 28 Zlnninr Gllana. lmiiirvrz. FALL TERM.

A class in school not far away In Drake's old halls one winter's day Was called to order from the noise Of three score mingled girls and boys. Some were shy and their lessons learned But more to furtive mischief turned. And then the master's tread came there. In old room three beneath the stair. I-Ie told them in words so wise That they must classify 'O5's. Our president was Billy Bw, But he refused to serve. you see: So up stepped Cresmer big and bold And said that he that chair would hold. The master told the Senior Preps What they must do to make their reps. Bertie Carr was then elected To keep those preps well protected. I-le cautioned them. as was the rule. To be the very best in school. Thus the first of that crude mass That after formed the Freshman class. ln 1902 they blossomed out Strong and green as the onion sprout. The class was noted for it bums. So numerous did they become That profs. and teachers shook their heads Demanding work and fewer spreads. One much loved mater was so kind. She knew the way our hearts to find. We rallied round the cheerful glow Of the fire-place bright we all do know. There always has been some feeling 'Twixt the Sophs and Freshies mingling- These Freshies so timid and shy Could not on their courage rely. But the Sophs were bold and daring. With many a slam forbearing Gave much pain to the Freshman soul. A totem pole was placed on high. And at its summit there did fly A Freshman doll all rags and dust. To pull it down the Freshies must. A flask of milk was fixed to fall Upon the Freshmen, so they said. so It fell instead on Shulley's head. Then followed that great and wondrous fight. Wherein our heroes showed their might, And Billie shinned the pole and tied The red and gray, and by the side A knot of crepe hung suspended. A check to Soph zeal intended. Their men from the field went sneaking. The girls all in shame were weeping. But the Freshman warriors brave and bold. Waxed ever in their strength untold. Thus entered they the Sophomore year With ne'er a falter nor a fear. lt was a most inflated crowd CA trait to every Soph allowedl, And on their most conceited pride. This mighty class to their fall did ride. The upstart class of nineteen-six Tho't now's the time 'O5's to fix. And on a dreary night and cold. The Freshies assembled and poled Their Hag. the orange and black, And all night long a valiant few Guarded that Hag from pink and blue. At dawn the Sophomores spied Ihat rag. And firmly resolved not to lag In squelching their aspiring foe. A call to arms was given, but lol So very many more had they That vim and courage Hew away. K In various ways we tried our strength. But alas! and alack! at length We failed. indeed. their Hag to low'r. Tho' burned and torn they prized it more. So, vanquished thus. the Soph'mores spurned The heroulean art. and turned To realms of learning and tho't. And into Juniordom they wrought Their way, nor regretted that they Had left behind the day Of foolish strife and childish scraps. Sister Edith and Papa Kirk . Advised us studies not to shirk. And with such tender care have reared That they to us are much endeared. And, now, the Junior class behold, Loyal to D. U. a hundred fold. 51 Gbur ZHnrm2r Glnunzelnrz. PROF. WILBERT L. CARR. MRS. WM.

YEAR AGO. when a beautiful classmate quietly dropped out from our midst. we had no thought but that she would be back with us for our commencement. But she has received her high degree in the great commencement. and for us is left a vacant place and a sweet memory. In 1884 Eiga Irish came to Kellogg. Iowa. to be the sunshine of her home and people. For almost twenty years she fulfilled her mission. draw- ing around her an enviable circle of friends. She came to Drake University in 1900. enrolling in the Senior Preparatory Class of 'O5. I-Ier sweetness of character. her delicate refinement and grace. won for her a place in the University life. which she filled with an unconscious dignity that endeared her but the more to her friends. In the spring of 1905 she was forced to leave school and go west, because of failing health. But all efforts were vain, and inally. having returned home. on the ninth of July she quietly gave up the struggle, She left the record of a brief noble life, that with unassuming gentle- ness wielded its positive infiuence. We did not know. until we felt the aching void. how largely she had entered into our lives. For. though she hs reached the reward before us. she is yet one of the class of 1905. and we hold her enshrined in our reverent hearts. 54 Silence, that dreadful bell, lx Frights the isle from her propriety ' MAMIE IRENE ARNEY, A.

The emotional development is subtle. the plot heavy. and the action often slow. Nevertheless. the Sophomores presented this power- ful drama so well. that during the three hours required for its action. the audience was attentive and enthusiastic. QIN PRESENTING lbsen's Pillars of Society. the Sophomore class .. The character of Consul Bernick is extremely difficult of interpretation. in some respects as subtle and complex as that of Hamlet. Not bad at heart. but weak. cowardly and selfish. he is led by force of circumstances to commit a great crime. in order to save his honored name. The struggle in his conscience. as succeeding events impel him to his wicked determination. is intense. And in the last act. when he finds his only son the victim of the trap designed for another. the emotional climax is powerful. Mr. Patrick was wonderfully effective in the role of Bernick. and showed in his masterful development of emotional struggle. true dramatic power. The work of Mr. Patrick as Bernick. contributed greatly to the success of the play. Of the other characters. it would be unfair to mention one above the rest. for the parts were all uniformly well done. lt is true. there were faults common to amateur performances. The actors showed a tendency to talk to the wings. rather than to the audience: and some embarrassment was evident in the love scenes. But was there ever a college student who could make love properly-in public? A The ladies in the play were all exceedingly beautiful--on the stage, one can go to the limit in the use of drugstore appliances. The three old gossips were charming and would have been more so, if they had talked a little louder. Miss Starzinger, as Lona. had by far the most difficult part to play. but she did it splen- didly, and made things lively, in the proper, moral atmosphere of Bernick's home. Miss Farlin, as the tearful Mrs. Bernick. wept copiously and naturally. Miss Pugh was ideal. as peaceful old Aunt Martha, who loves in silence and in vain. Miss Baker played sweet. innocent Dina well, and her scene with Rector Rorlund was one ofthe best things in the play. Many of Ibsen's characters are types rather' than individuals. Rorlund, Aune and Hilmar are types to a greater or less degree. and the class was fortu- nate in having men who fitted these parts so perfectly. Mr. Burrows was admi- rable as the socialistic old ship-builder. The Rector. in the person of Mr. Youtz. could not have been improved upon. even were he a few inches taller, or his coat- tails shorter. ln Hilmar lies much of the humor of the play, and the thorough appreciation of his character. manifested by the audience, testified to Mr. Sny- der's ability to act the part. Johan Tonneson, being more individual, is neces- 46 sarily more difficult of presentation. but lVlr. Sinclair played this role with spirit and understanding. Olof. the kid. was immense. and delighted the audience with his youthful antics. The unmistakable success of the Sophomore play is due largely to the untir- ing efforts of Prof. Smith. the class father. who. since the first of the term. has sacrificed much of his time and energy in training the cast and managing the play.

Ninvtvm iliiuef' NCE2 ONLY. during our period of College life. are we permitted to lay aside for a moment. our strenuous duties. and take a glance at our surroundings. Without overtaxing our memory to any great extent. we can recall the time when. had we stopped for the purpose of taking this view. it would have been entirely prospective. We had a future. but no past. and our history was yet to be made. We stood. a conglomeration of individuals. on the very beginning of things: each separate and alone. and having but one thing in common. and that thing was E' R, LAIMBOCKER' the simple fact that we were Freshmen. That one appellation sufficed to distinguish us from the remainder of the world. True it is. that we also had a common purpose. but that was lost sight of in the dim and distant future. Those days were pleasant. possibly.-we didn't know for sure. for we had no standard by which we could judge such things. Trials-big. ugly. monstrous looking things. bobbed up before us occasionally. Insurmountable they seemed to us then. but with a stubborn determination. we plodded on. and as we viewed them from the opposite side. they seemed to grow dim and pigmy like and insig- nificant inthe fast receding scenery behind us. Our History was fast near- ing its first Birthday. and we were enjoying its making. Then came a short. spasmodic struggle with the common world for our exist- ence. and we found ourselves. once more. in the old familiar haunts. Now we were Sophomores. and we lost no opportunity to inform ourfellowmen of this fact. lVlany things happened during this time. Some commendable. and calcu- lated to bring joy into our lives. Others. deplorable. and serving only to cast a gloom across our pathway. For these first two years. also. we contributed very materially to that plan which had been instituted but a short time before. of associating us more closely with our Philosophical and Theological friends. With what success this experi- ment has been attended. can best be judged by future generations. as their effect on us is yet to be seen in contrast with those individuals who were so unfortunate as to have been thrown out in the cold. cruel world. without having known the salutary influence which the aforesaid gentlemen exerted over us. The counter action has not been so marked as was at first feared. for with all their contact with us. they seem still to be in that unpolluted state which had previously char- acterized them. 54 Thus we went on. in our humble way. absorbing all the good things that were allotted us. and. in turn. radiating our own superfiuous good for the betterment of our associates. 1 Now we come to the really bright side of our History! Glad tidings of good cheer were wafted to us on the balmy breezes of the closing days of our second year. These whispered to us'-timidly at first--that before we would again assemble as an integral part of the University. that we would have a new home. all our own. in which we could pass our closing years in peace and happiness. Then came a long period of suspense. during which our fate lay uneasily in the balance of authoritative decision. impatiently we waited. ever hoping for the best. yet. fearing the worst. But. for once. fate was kind to us. and before our summer vacation was fairly started. came the good news that our future residence was already under construction. and our future seemed assured. This is the third year of of..r existence. We are now happy in the realization of a condition that seemed but a short time ago to be a mere dream. With a retrospective glance. we see many things that might have been differ- ent--might even have been improved upon. but prospectively. we have a scene fair indeed. Peace. harmony. prosperity. longevity. and in the midst of all. and above all. success. QE. R. L.J MEDICAL BUILDING. 55 A. C. HUTCHINS W. D. MCFAUL NELLE E NOBLE M. J. HAMMOND E. J. LICHTY A. V.

WALES illlvhiral Ehumtinn. 1 OR MANY years thoughtful men in the profession have been engaged in working out the problem of advanced medical education in the United States. It has been a great humil- iation to our profession that foreign coun- tries have looked with suspicion on Ameri- can diplomas: and there has even been a disposition on the part of laymen in our own country to look with favor on foreign graduates. Indeed. until within a few years our own young men did not look upon them- selves with entire satisfaction unless they could boast of a certain amount of European training. There were three prominent reasons why medical education was hurried and incomplete in this country. First. the rapid growth of cities and towns. New commun- ities were rapidly springing up. offering opportunities for young men who had some training in medicine. Second, the native tendency of young men to get into productive work as soon as possible. Third. the poverty of the schools them- selves. which were organized, generally for two reasons: First. as commercial enterprises to meet the demand for new doctors: and. second. to make professors who had some light which they thought ought to be uncovered before the world. The- first reason has ceased to exist. and the poor. low grade schools are merely struggling for existence. The pioneer organized effort for improved med- ical education began in the American Medical Association. and later in the Asso- ciation of Medical Colleges. The difficulties were great. and results were accomplished slowly, but now we may say that the final results are in sight. The movement is too strong to be resisted. The difficulty in the past. as in the pres- ent has been. and is now. with the selfish interest of medical schools. some of which are in the larger cities and some in the smaller cities, but this will certainly be overcome through the force of general professional opinion. There are three important things to be overcome before the desired results can be accomplished. First. higher standards of entrance examinations. It must be admitted without argument that young men must have a higher preliminary train- ing before they can take up the serious study of medicine. The minimum require- ment should be a graduation from a four years high school course. This must be demanded by all medical schools. and will be if the school hopes to be in respect- sa D. S. FAIRCHILD, M. D.. Dean. able standing. Second. the school must be equipped with good chemical. histo- logical, physiological and pathological laboratories. The fundamental branches must be taught in the same manner required by our first-class scientific colleges. This. of course, requires the employing of highly trained specialists who have the time and talent to instruct in the class room and laboratory, and should not be engaged in the struggle for patients. ' The professors of chemistry. anatomy. histology. physiology and pathology should be salaried men and not busy practitioners of medicine. Third. the med- ical school should control dispensaries and hospitals where advanced students may study disease at the bedside as they have heretofore studied anatomy. phy- siology and pathology. in the two first years of their course. D. S. FAIRCHILD, M. D. MERCY HOSPITAL. 59 fduternal fllllrhirine. BY EL! GRIMES. M. D. Q HE TERM modern when applied to government. law or historical events has a meaning more extended than when applied to medicine. Many modern institutions now date back half a century. but modern medicine is the product of scarcely half a decade. After the birth of aseptic surgery internal medicine seemed to be left in the background. Surgical achievements were so great that the field of internal med- icine seemed small. but recent develop- ments have given to it the positiveness of an exact science and today the extent of its achievements. both in extent and number. are very great. That which distinguishes the science of medicine today from that of former years is positive diagnosis. Some of the most important acquisitions to our means of diagnosis are of very recent origin. Medical chemistry and microscopy have given us new and positive means of diag- nosis. Morbid anatomy and physiology have taught us the basis cf disease and directed our inquiry along channels hith- erto unknown. lt might be of interest to notice some of the particular phases of this subject. ln the domain of mental and nervous diseaseslphysiological and histo- logical researches have revolutionized old ideas. With our new and positive knowledge regarding the histology and function of nerve structures, diagnosis has reached almost mathematical accu- racy. while the outcome of the case can be told with a high degree of certainty. ln blood examination we have the only early and often the only means of accurate diagnosis. We are no longer content with the diagnosis of malaria unless we find the parasitic cause of the disease and this can be done only by careful microscopic examination of blood. ln typhoid we no longer wait until the disease is well progressed in order to be satisfied what the condition is. but trust to that peculiar reaction of thegblood to confirm or rather to establish our diagnosis. Bacteriology is recognized as being the keystone of modern medicine. yet its aid to diagnosis has not extended to a great number of diseases. ln a few con- 60 ELI GRIMES. M. D. ditions. however. a bacterial diagnosis is our only available early resource. This is notably true of tuberculosis. in which so much depends upon an early diagno- sis. Today we have abundant proof that tuberculosis is a curable disease. but in order to effect a cure an early diagnosis is essential. and to establish this early diagnosis we have no positive means except bacterial examination. Upon an early bacterial diagnosis of diphtheria depends the patient's life. The great reduction of mortality in this disease has been brought about by anti- toxin treatment. but this treatment is of no avail except early in the disease and in order to establish an early diagnosis. bacteriological examination is essential. What is true of tuberculosis and diphtheria is true of other infectious condi- tions. including a variety of skin diseases. Electricity is now an important aid to diagnosis, not only as a means of illumination. but in the reactionary phenomena of the current. Recently the X-Ray has come to occupy an important part in this field. The early use of the X-Ray was confined to the examination of surgical cases. but at present it is of help in conditions that are within the providence of internal medicine. It is true that the X-Ray is of no use in diagnosing ordinary inflammatory conditions of the stomach. kidneys. etc.. as many charlatans claim. but still the shadowgraph is of aid in many medical cases. The work. then. of internal medicine is crowned with recent achievements and advancements. Exact means and instruments for physical examination of the patient: aclearer knowledge of morbid anatomy and physiology: pathological chemistry: bacterial processes and conditions of the blood and other tissues: physiological chemistry of digestion: new light on the structure and function of the nervous system: electricity. and the X-Ray are the agencies and means with which the student today must become familiar ere he practice internal medicine.

HE RECENT graduate upon leaving his alma mater. finds that an ade- quate knowledge of applied therapeutics is an essential and almost the first of the many resources he is called upon to utilize. When suddenly appealed to for aid by his suffering fellow-man. the young physician who has not been properly grounded in the physiological actions of all the important remedial agents.may find himself in an extremely embarrassing position. A rem- A. P. STONER. M. D. lutely unequal to the demands. As a edy must be prescribed. and he has no opportunity for extensive text-book re- search. So in his dilemma. with the per- spiration fairly streaming from his brow. he turns in sheer desperation either to his college notes or to a pocket manual of compiled prescriptions and chooses one best suited to the case. Finally a few of these recipes are committed to memory and prescribed as occasion de- mands. By way of diversion he some- times places upon his office shelves. a supply of the stock solutions prepared by some of our enterprising pharmaceu- tical houses. and recommended in glow- ing terms by their traveling spokesman: the latter individual usually being an ex-member of a defunct drug firm. or a prematurely retired physician. Such practice can but have a demoralizing infiuence upon higher professional attain- ment. ln the management of difficult or complicated cases. the resources of the physician practicing such methods. becomes sorely tried and found abso- natural consequence he begins to look upon the whole science of therapeutics as unreliable and worthless. There should be little wonder then. when physicians become skeptical. that other people sometimes lose confidence in medicine. and turn to the so-called faith healers, osteopaths. etc.. for relief. The successful therapeutist has constantly in mind the proper and necessary measures with which to combat all pathological con- ditions and every symptom of disease. Not only must the eventual cure of the disease be considered. but the discomforts of the patient should be relieved by 62 every possible means. The existence of homeopathy today. seems to us to depend more upon their study of symptoms. which are made the basis for medi- cation. and an effort to immediately relieve the same. rather than infinitesimal dosage or any will-o'-the-wisp similia similibus curanturf' It must not be for- gotten. also. that nature unaided by drugs will sometimes effect a cure. For example. many gastro-intestinal troubles are easily cured by correcting the diet. Certain nervous disorders are readily alleviated by rest in bed or by abstaining from mental worry and work. When called upon to attend a. case of illness. the first duty of the attendant is to acertain the cause of the disorder, and every effort should be bent upon acorrect solution of this part of the problem. Despite our most earnest endeavors it sometimes happens. however, that upon the first examination we are unable to make a conclusive diagnosis ln such instances the immediate symptoms may be relieved and when necessary, the family informed that the disease is in the developmental process, and that a positive diagnosis is not possible. The shrewd business man talks little of his plans. The shrewd practitioner of medicine indulges in little unnecessary speculation. not directly germane to the welfare of the case. Indeed. it is not good policy to laud your favorite cough syrup or your never-fail cathartic, or positively assert that the galvanic current or systematic massage will relieve this or that symp- tom. ldiosyncrasies are met, in which our most strenuous efforts may result in disappointment. In the warfare against disease. preventative npedicine stands pre-eminently at the front. Indeed, it is our most effective weapon. and should be utilized whenever and wherever possible. The physician who would attempt to treat typhoid fever without sterilising all excretions. and modifying the food and water supply of all other members of the household, or likewise neglect the immediate disinfection of all sputum and excretions of consumptives. is a men- ace to public health. If the spitting nuisance alone could be abolished. the latter dreaded disease which yearly claims its thousands of victims. and leaves such widespread misery and desolation in its paths, could soon be stamped from the face of the earth. 65 fllllra. ijagn.

KEITHLEY, HAT THE'study of law is a great factor in character building is acknowl- edged by all thinking men. Naturally the visible effect is first seen among the students in a law school. When the freshman comes in he wears a cigarette in his mouth. or perhaps he treasures a discolored and aromatic pipe. All through the first year he brings these intruders into the classroommegardless of the feelings of his fellow students and the mandates of the dean. As a junior he stops sprinkling the Hoor with tobacco juice: he has learned that where the rights of another begin. his own rights end. He finds him- self making practical application of the principles he learns, and from the philosophy disclosed behind the law he sets up a code of morals not unlike the tablets of Moses. He looks at the senior and resolves that the study of law is not finished in three years. but de- mands a lifetime. With the progress of civilization. with changes in the way of living. with new discov- FRED F- KEITHI-EY-l eries and inventions come new principles and new applications of old principles. He is more than ever convinced of the opportuni- ties the law affords. He begins to understand why men educated in the law form agreat majority of those prominent in public life. Though he may never be a Marshall. nor a Webster. nor a Lincoln. the greatest part of the history of our country has been made by men of lesser renown. but also educated in the law. The broadening influence of the study of law upon the character is the secret of all this. Knowledge is power. and knowledge of law is great power, It may make the little man conceited. but it is sure to make the big man great. That such a power is so generally used for the public good is due to the self- culture induced by the noble study of law. 74 Eiztnriral Skrtrh nf thr fdnina Glnllrgr nf Emu. BY C. C. BROWNING. 9' T IS from small beginnings often that great things develop. Who thought twenty-eight years ago, when the Iowa College of Law was organized by our Dean, Judge Chester Cicero Cole, that in 1904- it would be the lead- ing law school of the northwest Each year since 1875, except 1881. this law school has graduated a class numbering from four to twenty-five. Out of this number' there are four hundred located in the State of Iowa. More than one-fourth of the mem- bers of the Des Moines Bar are graduates of this school. They take rank equal. if not superior. to all others here in the home of the school. This is evidenced by the fact that one-half of the judges of the District court. the Secretary of the United States Treasury. a State Senator and 'many other high officials are grad- uates of this school. The Iowa College of Law as a means of obtaining a legal education has ever been the great factor in enabling its patrons to obtain and honor positions of dis- tinction in the affairs of the State and the Nation. From the earliest times the lawyer has left his indelible mark on history. and has been a most potent factor in the development of ethical principles and higher civilization. The science of jurisprudence is the highest form of philosophy. and its innuence upon the history ofthe world can never be overestimated. IVlen may decry as much as they please about what has been called a government of lawyers. but the truth remains that there is no class of men more competent and better fitted for the onerous duties and responsibilities of government than are the men who have been trained in the science of the law. and who have therewith imbibed a knowledge of abstract right and justice and an ability to apply their knowledge to daily condi- tions in human affairs. The State owes its very existence to the ability of well trained lawyers, and will always be governed by their wisdom and experience. All connected with the Law College are living in happy expectation of the great event in the history of the school which is to take place within the next eight months. This event, which will mark an epoch in the life of the school will be the erection of a new building for the exclusive use of the Law Depart- ment. The Iowa College of Law. a department of Drake University, has kept pace in the past with the rapid strides of progress and development. made along all lines of education. Its curriculum has been increased 'until it now covers nfty distinct and separate branches of the law. lts hours of study for each class have been increased to fifteen hours per week. and the faculty increased from three to nine instructors.. The only thing lacking to place this department at the very head of law schools in the northwest is a suitable home. which is now to be supplied. Large additions to the already well equipped law library will also be made before the commencement of the next school year. The outlook for the future of the school is most promising. 75 CHESTER CICERO COLE. LL. D.. Dean. HORATIO F. DALE. LL. B. EDWARD B. EVANS. LL. M Secretary. STEPHEN H. SIBLEY. LL. B W ILLIAM H.

BACON ITH the opening of the school year for '04 and '05, all persons who are interested in the future of Drake will note with a. feeling of pride that the mother school has called another of her adopted children from the noisy streets of the city. and has embraced him within the folds of her major campus. At the northwest corner will be situated the first monument Drake University has ever dedicated to that most noble of profes- sions, The Law. This structure completes one more arc in the circle of our Ideal: it bridges that gap which ever has and always will exist between a mother and a son who has never directly realized her tender care and guiding infiuenceg it wears into a harmonious whole the differing threads of personality which are each necessary to the other. The Law Building was made a present possibility through the gifts of our noble benefactor. the late Francis Nl. Drake, and our dean. Judge C. G. Cole. who gave freely that the long-felt need of the school might be provided. The building. according to the plans of the architects, will be a three-story vitrified brick structure. including the basement. with the ground dimensions of one hundred by sixty feet. A separate steam heating plant will be installed and will be sunk deep enough so as not to detract from the floor space of the base- ment. The basement will contain four classrooms about twenty-three by twenty- eight feet, two offices. cloak and toilet rooms, and a safety vault. There will be both front and rear entrances. The first story will include three classrooms, with a professor's office off each room, a public oftice, and a library especially adapted and equipped for law purposes. The second story. with the exception of two classrooms, will be given over entirely to an assembly room. This room will have a seating capacity of two hundred and fifty people, and will be used for all purposes of general assembly, mock trials and literary work. To all those accustomed to our present narrow quarters, this new structure will come as a pardon to a convict. 78 THE NEW BUILDING STATE HOUSE. IUNIOPX CLASS JUNIOR CLASS 'Wen R favs P A BRUBAKER NRM NAYHA SMITH Uhr Burr Efrial. ROBABLY the most conspicuous event of the present school year for the law department. was the trial of Aaron Burr for the murder of Alex- ander Hamilton. The senior class of l9O41 have taken the initiative and have acquitted themselves with credit not only to themselves but to the whole University. Favorable editorial comment has come from the news- papers of almost every State in the Union. and the public is ever made aware that the Iowa College of Law of Drake University stands as one of the ablest and most progressive law schools in the country. ' The class was fortunate in choosing an event prominent in history' and familiar to every American. The character of the defendant and that of his victim are a very interesting study. while the circumstances surrounding the crime present many instructive problems in law. The case was well developed by six ambitious lawyers and progressed with all the formality and dignity of a trial in a regular court of law. Prof. E. B. Evans made a capable judge and greatly facilitated the trial. Five days were spent in presenting the evidence and argument. ln less than an hour after receiving the court's instructions the jury found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree. F. F. K. 82 mill' weaker Erntherz. OREOVER. the scribe continued his parable and said: ln the begin- ning of that year there appeared among us divers villeins, serfmen from various boroughs of the realm. seeking adoption into this great institution, the fame of which had spread even unto the remotest rural district. and whose mighty men of wisdom doing stunts at Fourth of July celebrations had inspired within these vassals the ambition to become great and learned in the law. They entered the silent halls leading to the Shrine of Justinian, some car- ried slates with pencil attached thereto. others appeared with great books from which they attempted to read to the instructors: there were boys with the inno- cence of childhood still on their countenances who, when asked their home address, hid their faces and sobbed forth uncontrollable grief. ' They entered the secretary's office. asked the stenographer if she were the matron and if she had rooms to rent: asked our honorable secretary if he were Sir Wm. Blackstone. Knight. They wandered to the senior lecture room and were startled into flight by cries of Rouse mit em! accompanied by a storm of arctics'-and it was here while baffling with doubts and fears, being smote. hip and thigh, with the footgear of asses. that the freshman learned to know and love the Junior. It was the Junior who rescued them from the awful indignities of the sweat box, threw the arm of protection around them and fifty cents off on all text books: gave them assurance that this freshman class would not be called upon to take Hosford's Specific Performance at election time, or Senior's Essence of Sarcasm all the time. And by various promises of protection and assurances of safety they were finally with one accord gathered in one place, viz.. the green room, where unto them appeared Secretary Evans, who, after a careful survey of the assembled horde. expressed a doubt as to the possibility of leading them back to the plane of civilization, so far had they strayed from the paths of learning. Then came forth the spirit of Freshmanism. and there arose-one from Minnesota in whose veins there yet flowed the blood of the Great Knute and demanded a fair trial for himself and his fellow sufferers. Also there stood up one on whom were the marks of many battles fought on Fourth street Gridiron. These wounds and scars. said he. speak louder than the words l uttered when l received them, of my devotion to the White and Blue. We are come an humble tribe through much tribulation to this place. and even now there be some among our number who fain would venture through yonder arcade past the Senior Council room. the entrance to which is guarded as with a Cerberus-yet,with few excep- tions, our ambition to gain knowledge surmounts these slight afliictions. would you but adopt us into this University. And the secretary was so moved that he spake to them saying: Have no fear of the upper classmen, for a great decree has gone out from the faculty eliminating forever the class scrap. Seek 85 out the administration building. take there a dose each of l-Iickey's Preliminary Prognosis and Allen's Extract of Specie. return again to this room where you will receive' your first instruction in Blackstone by the only 'White' man in school. AUTI-lOR'S NOTE-As this brief history is about to be chronicled, we learn that the Freshman class numbers 25, a large per cent American citizens.

A number of organizations were struggling A for supremacy, if not for very existence. until the several classes by various compromises and persistent work on the part of a number of strong organizers. brought peace out of strife. order out of chaos, and placed before the students of the Iowa College of Law, the present organization, under a constitution adopted December 12. 1902. and named The Model Senate. Limited space forbids that we relate past achievements, and we prophesy. only in part, of the future. But we have persuaded some other literary organ- izations of the existence of a law society. by raising before their glassy stare a living, breathing. tangible reality. and we now proceed to tackle the State of Iowa. hoping that the prophecy that we shall furnish a part of a team for the farmers CAmesD fail not before the spring plowing. Three events. milestones in a senator's career, occur annually. And. first, the annual blowout which is purposed to be held within the secret banquet halls of a first rate hotel. behind closed doors, that the sound of revelry may not grate upon the ears of a suffering public. Filled with eat and drink. the average Senator is here wont to let forth his surplus energy of the moment in flights of oratory and bursts of sparkling repartee. Then there is given each year by the Senate a public program: of this we say but modestly that it is ever the best yet put upon the auditorium platform and is attended by thousands of the best people in University Place. But the event conducive to the most benefit to generations present and future, legalized under Social Reform Bill No. 128. in the passing of which. not a few Senators won enduring fame and in many instances a domicile. by their hearty support of the measure, is that session known, and feared as Ladies Night, Then comes forth the spirit of the man. and the Senator drawing from the dark recess of his trunk. articles of apparel heretofore worn only at picnics and camp-meetings. he sharpens the trousers, carefully curries the Albert he wore only once Cat a weddingl, fastens a bunch of spinach to the lapel, and after a profusive use of shinola and talcum, goes forth to do or die: and he does. by a system of pleading known only to the Laws, persuade one of the gentler sect to accompany him to the senate room. there to entertain her with a pro- gram suitable for the occasion. thence to a near-by oyster house, and. returning home on the last car. lies down to pleasant dreams. for after life's fitful fever he sleeps well. 84 O.

Cladly would we give more space than is permitted for this brief sketch. One who has won the high esteem of students and residents both in and outside of Des Moines. is worthy of lofty tribute. Isaac Newton McCash was born in Cumberland county. Illinois, June 5. 1861. His parents are of Scotch and Dutch descent. and so there were instilled those sturdy. yet genile qualities which so mark the character of our recent pastor. ln his later boyhood. with his parents, he moved to eastern Tennessee, and not long afterward obeyed the gospel of Christf In 1881 he entered the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio. Upon his graduation. having completed three courses, he was elected principal of Ewington Academy. at Ewington. Ohio, Here he remained two years. after which. on account of failing health. he removed to Lyons, Kansas. to become superintendent of the public schools. During a stay of five years there he was called to conduct Normal Institutes in many counties. At Harristown. Ill.. he married Miss Marietta Tandy. October 5. 1886. While at Pratt, Kansas, engaged in a Normal Institute, he was induced to hold a short meeting there, which resulted in nineteen additions. Shortly after- ward he held another meeting resulting in forty-six additions. ln the spring of the fifth year at Lyons he was urged to enter the ministry at Maryville, Mo. This he did the following summer, and spent three very fruitful years for the church there. From August. 1895, to December 1905, he has labored faithfully and well for the church at University Place. As he goes into his new labors the best wishes of students and friends are his. D Ghz lgaatur uf Ihr Cllmtral Glhurrly nf Gllgrizt. Few. if any of those who appear before the student body at chapel are received with deeper heartfelt welcome and satisfaction than the pastor of the Central Church of Christ. His pleasing. impressive personality, his close sympathy with student life. his broad 'views and hopeful spirit make his visits among us most enjoyable. His life has been crowded full of thoughts and deeds. Dr. Breeden comes from Colonial Virginian and Kentucky stock. and is a native of Mason county, lll. After two years of Abingdon College. he spent four years at Eureka. receiving the A. B. at the age of twenty-one. He was immediately called into the ministry. and after serving for three and one-half years. the church in the home town of a college friend. he was called to succeed George Sweeney at Terre Haute. Ind. Thence he came to Des Moines. where he has marvelously increased the success of the previous years by a long and fruitful pastorate. Space permits but the bare mention of a few things that are due largely to his thought and energy. The constantly increasing membership, the building of the Central Church. the institu- tional department. the lecture course, the city mission work, the foreign mission- ary enterprises. andthe Christian Worker. -these and many other works give evidence of a thoughtful brain. a ready hand. and an earnest heart. May his days be lengthened into busy months and fruitful years. ai xx PROP' SHERMAN KIRK. Eepartmvnt nf Hiiuainn Svtuhg. THE iviissiou STUDY DEPARTMENT. Comparatively few colleges of our land catalog a chair of mission study. though the number of such colleges is gradually increasing. Here at Drake we are fortunate in having such a chair. As far back as 1898 and '99 the question was agitated among members of the Volunteer Mission Band. and soon afterward Miss Mary Carpenter was selected to take charge of the department. For two years she led the classes and gave great satisfaction to all. It was with deep regret that those interested in this study were compelled to seek another leader in the fall of 19022. Miss Wirick had just returned from Japan. and we were glad to have her services. even though it was but for one term. For the winter term student leaders were chosen. and since then Professor Kirk has taught the Mon- day evening classes. This class has been maintained in interest and largenattend- ance. even though there have been several other classes carrying on mission study at the same time. notably one with Mrs. Garst during the fall term.

The state wisely requires an efficiency well tested by examination in those who prac- tice medicine. law, or even teach in the humblest public school: while the church is compelled to engage many incompetent persons in its teaching and in numerous other important labors that involve serious responsibilities and call for the best cultivated powers. This fact leads thoughtful minds in the church to con- sider the necessity of providing some adequate preparation for such important tasks: and this school is established with the intent to serve these high ends' The School of Pastoral Helpers which was organized in Cincinnati. Ohio, a few years ago has just been transferred to Drake University: and it has been enlarged into the School of Christian Workers. with the hope of meeting the much wider demand for well instructed workers in every department of church life. SCOPE OF INSTRUCTION. By a combination of studies, some of which have heretofore been taught in the University, and the addition of various courses directly suited to workers of every kind in the church, and especially in the cities and on mission fields. oppor- tunities for special training are offered. ' FACILITIES OF THE SCHOOL. Drake University, with its many colleges and special schools, affords rare privileges of varied courses of study. The Bible College presents almost every branch of biblical learning that Christian workers could wish, and many associated studies. such as ethics, evidences of christianity. church history and the like. The College of Liberal Arts is available to students of this school without extra charges for tuition, and offers the usual branches of liberal culture. The College of Music affords as ine musical training as can be found anywhere in the west, and this is supplemented by special instruction regarding church music. The Business Col- lege offers stenography and typewriting, or any other branch of business training that might seem desirable. The Medical College, together with its clinics and hospitals. presents every facility for medical instruction and practice that can be asked by those desiring to become physicians or nurses. The many churches of Des Moines illustrate every phase of religious activity. and afford opportunities for practical work of' every kind. A large number of charitable institutions. mis- sions, rescue stations. social settlements and other enterprises of like character are located in and around Des Moines, and are always accessible for the instruc- tion of students of this school. as REV. CHAS. S. NIEDBURY he Qllizw. Sv. illllrhhurg, lgewtnr Hnihvrzitg Glhurrh. HAS. S. IVIEDBURY was born at Warren. Ohio. November 19. 1865. being associated therefore in boyhood days with one of the historic churches of our brotherhood-a church that came over bodily into the Restoration movement. pastor. people and property severing ties that bound them to the great Baptist denomination. The Warren church not only enjoyed the occasional ministry of Alexander Campbell. Walter Scott and the Haydens in the early days, but later profited by the extended pastorate of Isaac Errett and the constant personal followship of James A. Garfield, then at Hiram. Among such a people. rooted and grounded in the fundamentals of the Gos- pel. lVlr. Medbury spent his boyhood days. identifying himself with the church at the age of 15. Leaving Warren in 1879, Mr. Medbury's parents moved to Cleveland where his school life was continued, and later. his business life began. Spending some time in a local insurance office in Cleveland the subject of this sketch was called to Erie. Pa.. in 1886. and a year later a second promotion brought him to Chicago where he occupied an important and promising position in the general office of the Royal Insurance Company. With every advantage in the business world seemingly secured, Mr. Medbury yet longed for another phase of life, and finally resigned to devote himself to relig- ious work exclusively. He has always felt. however. that his close touch with men in the centers of commercial activity was an invaluable feature of his edu- cation. Leaving the Royal office he spent a richly fruitful year with the Christian Oracle. of Chicago, and it was during this time and before his college life opened that the Editor of the Oracle. E. M. Kirkham. pressed the young man into his first preaching. Later followed the happy period of training at Eureka. to which institution he is loyally attached. Following college days. a. pastorate at El Paso. Ill., was enjoyed. during which a church building was erected. From El Paso he moved to Angola. Ind., where he has spent the past seven years. and from which fruitful field he comes to University Place. Angola is acollege town-the seat of the Tri-State Normal which had a total enrollment last year of over 1100. The church bears the record of great- ness of life. from its earliest days having to its credit more than half a hundred sturdy young men and women in the ministry at home or mission fields abroad. During his ministry Angola gave more than 351.000 per year to mission work and seven hundred and thirty-five additions crowned the seven years. Along other lines he comes to his new work under the blessing of God. A three years presidency of the Indiana C. E. Union. a six months experience as Chaplain of one of the indiana regiments in the Spanish-American war, and his present position on the Editorial Staff of the Christian Standard. are points of equipment that have value. Humbly he takes up agreat work of untold responsibility, coveting the loving fellowship of Drake's students. 97 X f X 1 W l , ,W- 1 BHP. the Qlnnnrrhatnrg. 6 6 E are the Musicmakers. and we are glad to say we have quar- ters of our own: 80.000 quar- ters is what it took to start us, and there have been a few more added since. Yes. they are new quarters and they make the Dean's face shine way up on top of his head. I am not casting reflections: you must have noticed the reiiections from the Dean's face. No! It was not like that in the days of old. for this is the first year he has really had a chance to shine, and that is the reason we take this opportunity of telling you who we are. Have you taken notice? . We don't sing. Back 'Mid the Clover and the FRANK Corn this year, but we are making use of our new practice rooms and our little recital hall instead. Did you ask about the Ciee Club? Well. it is a minus quantity, but you know it is best to have a change occasionally. Of course. we all enjoy a good Glee Club. but why not give the girls a chance? They did have a chance in the pro- duction of Pinafore this year, and I tell you the boys had to hurry. As I remem- ber it, the night of the banquet there were about three girls to one boy. Better look out boys. it may be a ladies' Glee Club next. Another special feature for this year has been the Junior and Senior recitals. These recitals, although they may have hindered the regular pupils' recitals to a. certain extent. have been exceed- ingly helpful, especially to those participating. Of the Annual Musical Festival. little need be said. That such musical treats are possible for Drake University only goes to show what Dean Howard and the Conservatory is doing for the music-loving people of Des Moines. In fact. I think we as pupils of the Conservatory of Music have a great many things to thank the Dean for. Don't you? Had it not been for his untiring efforts for the past tive years. many of our present advantages would have been unknown to us. It is true that he is backed by a faculty of which any conservatory could well be proud, yet it has been by steady pushing that this department has reached such a place as it now holds among the music colleges of the west. We are all sorry to learn of the loss of Miss Roe from the piano department. who was compelled to leave on account of ill health, and also of the sad fate of Miss Grace Greene Jones-Jackson, who was so suddenly taken from us by the dread disease that makes the strongest heart grow faint: yet we are glad to know that they are to be replaced by those who will readily fit into their respec- tive places and keep the work moving on. Miss Phillips will be with us again next year. and with renewed strength from her study while abroad, we are sure to move along witha determination that will make the Drake Conservatory of Music second to none in the west.

What's up. Bill? Did she come last night. Bill? How long you goin' to take to drive her out? A week. mebbe? Wild Bill shambled up toward agroup of boys lounging against the remnant of a rail fence. A basket, some pails.a paper sack. a few torn books and pieces of slates were piled upon the door step. Say. Bill, let's knock in a winder and lock MARY FRANCES JONES the door agin her from the inside before she gits here. Bill pulled his crownless hat over his freckled forehead as he said with a sheepish grin. Naw. let's not! Say. fellows, she aint a bit like none of the rest. Las night when ma told her l was a terror and had run out all the others. she never said nothin' about the golden rule nor looked sancterfied, She jest wanted to see my knife, and l'll eat my hat if she didn't want to play mumblety- peg with me.

Finally one of them recovered his breath. And ain't you going to drive her out? Dunno, growled Bill. Just then a neat little figure in a navy blue suit came into the school yard. Giving them a cheery smile she bravely passed them and went into the school house. lt was three days later when the outburst came. Wild Bill had been good for three days. and his accumulated effervescence of spontaneity burst forth with greater fury. The new school ma'am sat alone with him. She said nothing. but his eyes were so reproachful. His bowed head dropped into his hands. Were tears actually trickling through the dirty fingers of Bill Bowman? The next morning the teacher found on her desk a bunch of wild Howers with the following note attached: I won't do it again. and l'll lick anyone else that does.

Whenever she came into a school she made it her first work to learn the name of each child. where he lived and all she 'could about his personal tastes. Then before the week was out she was around calling on the parents and learning the home surround- ings of each boy or girl. Then you see she was in a position to get into the inner life of her pupils. She could then by a little further study of individual traits and individual accomplishments fit her instruction to the needs of every child. and the government. of course, took care of itself. because the teacher and pupil understood each other. That is what I call teaching. It is not teachingin mass that counts, but the direct personal relation and personal effort. The speaker was talking earnestly, and the blood mounted to his face as he repeatedly urgedhis plea upon the class who were soon to go out as teachers. He was stating a fundamental in the art of teaching and governing. He did it earnestly because it was a part of his own lifewa thing he had learned by stern experience. and had tried to apply in all his work. It is this tribute that we wish to pay to our new Principal of Normal College and Academy that he does get down into our lives. that he is not satisfied to think of us in mass, but makes a personal study of each student as far as possible. and that when we come in contact with him we.feel there an immediate sympathy for us in all worthy aspirations. He is a great burden-bearer in the regular rou- tine of teaching and superintending. but he does not spare himself in the things that win hearts. We do not write a biography nor yet a sketch, but simply record our impres- sions of the man who is still in our midst and a part of our life. Por those who tend to the chronological we ,append a brief outline of the outward doings of his life. Wm. Francis Barr was born at Newark. Ohio. March 16, 1865. Attended the rural schools of Missouri and Indiana. Graduated from the Eastern Indiana Normal School at Portland in August, 1886. He attended summer scools at Lebanon, O.. Danville. lnd.. Cedar Falls, University of Chicago, and Harvard University. Began teaching in the rural schools in 1885. Principal of schools at Eton. lnd.. 1887. at Milray. lnd., 1889. at Greene. Iowa, 1891-1896. Married to Miss Carrie Lockwood at Greene. Iowa. December 29. 1896. Superintendent of Schools at Parkersburg, 1896-1900. Since 1900 his work has been with Drake University. 3' ONCE knew aygirl. and it wasn't so long ago. nor so very far from 115 SUMMER SCHOOL.. The Drake University Summer School had its origin fourteen years ago. in an effort put forth by some of the faculty in behalf of students who wished' to make up work for advanced standing in college and academy classes. and in behalf of teachers wishing to review various subjects. The work was at Iirst principally in the nature of reviews in the grade and high school branches, and of instruction in general methods. With the increasing demand for college and academy credits various teachers began to offer such subjects. As a result several summer schools were in existence independent the one from another. Regular University students and students from a distance in attendance. Of these the Summer School of Methods was the largest and most important, its faculty composed of a number of teachers. During recent years the names of prominent educators from other states have appeared upon the roll of the faculty. The Summer School of Latin. Mathematics, Greek, Zoology. Chemistry, etc., were independent of the School of Methods. As the numbers in attendance increased and the practica- bility of such work was made evident, it became apparent that it would be better to combine all the schools under one management. instead of having them under several. This was partially effected last year, but not wholly until the present year, through the efforts of President Bell. With the change in the management of the schools. came a change in name from the Summer School of Methods. to 114 the Drake University Summer School. The change in name does not imply that less attention is now given to what is called methods. Fully as good provision is made for methods as formerly. but so much academic work is now given. that the old name has become a misnomer. With the exception of a few years. the Principal of the Normal College of the University has been director of the school. Prof. C. W. Martindale was director from its organization in 189O until 1896. when Prof. Crusinberry acted as direc- tor for one year. Prof. Martindale then resumed the work during the year 1897. At the reorganization of the school in 1898. President Bell.then Principal of the Normal College. was appointed director. and Prof. Ross associate manager. The duties of the Presidency of the University being so many. President Bell resigned from the directorship of the summer school in 1905. and Prof. Barr. Principal of the Academy. was appointed to the position. with Professor Ross as associate manager. Since its organization. the policy of the school has been conservative. there being no attempt in the methods work to exploit the prevailing fads in educa- tion. but rather to accord them their true pedagogical place. The attempt has always been made to give the students in attendance the work best fitted to their needs. A steady and healthy growth has kept pace with the age of the school. so that for the past several years it has been one of the largest in the state. p For the year 1904- the faculty. numbers thirty-five instructors and assistants. and the various subjects offered number sixty. The work in past years has been successful: the managers are fully deter- mined upon supplying the needs of all in attendance by the thoroughness and efficiency of the work offered. Certainly. there is no place in lowa where more satisfactory conditions exist fora prosperous summer school than 'at Drake University. The buildings are well arranged for comfort: the campus is one of the most beautiful spots in the state. The city of Des Moines. with its various industries. including coal mines and factories. with its splendid street car service and its parks. and with the var- ious public buildings. especially the Historical Building. the City Library. and the State Capitol. and with its new Army Post. affords to the student spending a few weeks here. a liberal education aside from the class room work. ln this volume of Quax is given a picture of the home of the University Summer School and a. list of the faculty engaged for the season of 1904. 115 THE CAMPUS IN SUMMER .,, , 4 , X- 543 4 L V L-.I . if my, 'J' -41 A v ' I 'ij .

O give a class history of the Juniors of the dental department since they were launched into the great unknown to the present day is but to record a list of happy occurrences which come to only a class of brilliant young college men. Could the writer see and write the future history of each member and record nothing but success, his few lines would be read by more eager eyes than any that will read a line in this book. Fresh from the different walks of life we assembled in the pit in answer to the much CHAS- H. STEPHENS- dreaded bell. Each one fired with the enthusi- asm of obtaining the top rung in the ladder of his chosen profession. Twenty- five boys. not blessed as are the seniors with a member of the fairer sex to brighten their path. reminding them of the heart that beats only for him who some day will share his ups and downs. No more intelligent class ever entered the institution. cultivated and nour- ished by well equipped clinics and laboratories. and one of the best faculties in the west. The class is gradually ripening into one which will do honor to its Alma 'Mater and its profession. Our freshman year will be. perhaps. the most uninteresting of the three. being spent poring over Cray's Anatomy and carving up bone teeth. Our work in the clinic was limited to cleaning teeth. or perhaps being a Hunkie for some of the upper classmen. Our first lesson in clinical etiquette was the removal of the hat while there. and numerous other rules which were explained to us all in one of those famous private lectures. until we imagined that the place was pos- sessed of a being higher than man. and we walked as though we were afraid of disturbing his majesty's patients. But gradually our timidity wore off. and when we returned for our Junior year we strolled through the Holy Place with an air that would do honor to the brightest senior that ever graced the halls of the old school. On our return to our second year's work we were pleased to find that the number in our class had increased by two. one from S. U. l.and one from Chicago. This is the year we begin to think we are dentists and some have become quite proficient in the art after a summer's successful practice, but the majority of us know but little more than we did a year before. ' We were told when we left last year that ere another autumn's sun had turned the leaves brown that the Des Moines College of Dental Surgery would occupy a better and larger building. But on our return we found that the entire block had been burned away. with the exception of the Dental College. which it seemed had been preserved by some angel from the darker regions below. There ll8 it stood. its outline marked against the sky keeping watch over the ashes of its old companions. and as we stood and gazed at the lone sentinel we realized that .we were to spend another year within its bleak and dreary walls. We enter and the smoking room looks as inviting as ever. But the pit has been treated to a new coat of paint. All these old familiar sights bring back a Hood of recollections of our hardships and toils of the previous year. and would fain have turned and left the place forever. We were assured. however. that before Christmas we would be in our new building. Christmas. however. has come and gone. and we are still inhaling the fumes of' the chop house and listening to the hum of the print- ing press in the adjoining room. Perhaps some unknown power is at work to extricate us from this den of microbes. and every Junior looks forward to the day when the dental department will occupy its new quarters. Because of the small number in the Senior class we are called upon as not an unpleasant task to assist or do the greater part of the clinic work this year. and owing to the good material of the class and willingness to work we are mak- ing a clinical record conceded to be far in advance of the preceding classes. If the Senior year of our course is filled with as much industry and interest as the two we are'just about to finish. every member will have rightfully won the time honored title of D. D- S. CHAS. H.

In the days of recent years when Father Time started on his cycle of an hundred years for the twentieth time since the beginning of Christendom. there began to arrive in the hearts of several merry lassies and as many fearless laddies the question of a college education. After long and serious meditation they all fnaturallyb decided to go to Drake. Time flew by, and the eventful day came when they should leave papa and mama and go away off to college. As one expressed to me at the time. - Pa an' ma an' Aunt Mary. an' cousin Janie an' Uncle Bob. an' little cousin Willie. an' Liza Ann. that's our hired girl. took me to the train an' kissed me, an' cried. an' hugged me, an' said.

I be a goin to the 'Ga.demy, fur three years. then I'll be a Senior, an' the next year I'll be a Fresh-man. in the big U-ne-vers-e-ty. He took my ticket an' says. says he. Now when you get to Des Moines get off the cars. Must a tho't I wus green. Well. I got off an' wus walkin' up Walnut street and saw some fine hats marked bargains: I needed a hat. an' so I went in an' tried one on. an' sir. it jist fit. an' the clerk says. says he. That just looks swell. so I bought it- ten dollar hat for three dollars.--silk one too. Well. sir. I put it on an' started to walk out to the U-ne-vers-e-ty. the streets wus crowded. but everybody wus mighty friendly. fur they all just looked rite at me an smiled. an' of course I spoke to em. all. sl- :ie :iz :ie :ic as ak as al- Old Father trudged on for two busy years.and in the mean time our hero has learned many lessons. not wholly of book lore. and a Senior in the A 'Cad- emy, but he is not the awkward boy we first met,for he is now one of the brightest and most enthusiastic members of the class. and has true college spirit. This class has many noble hearted boys and girls who are soon to stand among the peers of the dearly beloved University. And despite many almost fruitless efforts at organization. they are now sweeping forward. with zeal and determina- tion. keeping abreast of all that comes to the true college man or woman. As this is the first time in the history of the Academy that any of her classes have been recognized in the College Annual, we extend our most hearty thanks to the class of 1905. . They're alive! They're alive! Juniors! Juniors! 1905! We may be green, as some folks say. We're young in College life. as yet. But let me assure you we're here to stay: But we've caught the spirit, you may bet To labor earnestly. as you'll see. From the Seniors grave. and the Juniors' style And truly at last earn our degree. The Sophs so brave and the Freshies smile All are good and some are great. As our dear class-father can relate. Even a Freshie seeks a mate From our noble Class of 1908. LT ONE OF Us. IC57 'X JL S .. W,--, 1- S S-V1 SENIOR ORATORY CLASS Claude B Davis. A. M. Miss Kathryn Chapman Uhr Svrhnnl uf Cwratnrg. The School of Oratory is closing its second year's work under the present organization. The number of students enrolled in its classes is not large. It has not been the ambition of those who have the instruction in charge to seek for numbers alone. Quality has not been sacrificed for quantity. An institu- tion which has any pride in a high standard of scholarship and skill could not sanction such a policy. A department with twenty-Five thorough students. ambitious for the very best results. is much to be preferred to one with fifty students who have little or no care for serious study and the reputation they will give a University after graduation. The excellent work which has been done by the present Junior and Senior classes is a proof of the wisdom of such an ideal. It will mean an increased enrollment in the future. won by desirable means. and an elevation of the school's mission in the minds of the general public and in the judgment of the educational world.

Pres- ident Bell recommended that a department of Correspondence Schools be organ- ized. This step was recommended because of the great demand on the University for such work. Our own students and their friends have been for some years asking that this work be instituted. In accordance with the recommendation. the Board of Trustees voted to establish a department at once. and upon the recom- mendation of the President, Professor J. F. Mitchell, of the Chair of History in the University. a man recognized by all his friends as a teacher of pre-eminent qualifications, was elected as the head of these Correspondence Schools. with the title of Director. The Director will be the executive head of the Department and will be directly responsible to the President of the University for the management of the schools. PURPOSE. ' It is our earnest desire to meet the needs of the busy teachers and other young people who cannot go away from home to attend school, but have time and opportunity for study. It is also our desire to assist those who are compelled to leave school with- out completing subjects upon which they have already begun work. We make arrangements with such before leaving school to continue their work. Then. too. we are anxious to draw young people in general and ministers of the Christian Church. who know little of Drake University. into a closer acquaintance with its vigorous life. In order to meet these numerous demands we now offer the subject offered regularly in the circular of the University except those of the Colleges of Law. Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry and the laboratory and foreign language sub- jects of the Liberal Arts College. It is our constant aim to hold the standard of the work high in order that all the work completed can be given credit upon the University books without question. AT WORK. The Faculty to conduct the work was chosen at the meeting af the Board that authorized the organization of the schools. The instruction began in Sep- tember of 1905. and the work has proved a success. We are already beginning to realize its benefits in many ways. Some of the students who are taking the work and were not acquainted with the University. are planning to come to take residence work. others are planning to take other courses by correspondence.and still others who had planned to take correspondence work and were prevented from doing so from lack of time are arranging to take residence work. The results of the first year's work have fully evidenced the wisdom of creating the depart- ment. We are gratified with the growth of the work. also that we can be of assistance to deserving young people, and that we can help advance the substan- tial interests of the University. -147 X-all KINDERGARTEN TRAINING CLASS Uhr Hallie nf lfinhergarten Elraining tn the Stuhent. Many people there are who. while they recognizethe value of the kinder- garten, do not appreciate it as a means of development to the young woman. They are wholly without knowledge of the fact that the training which the young woman receives in preparing herself for this vocation. is the highest finish that can be given to a women's education. and tends toward the development of the most perfect type of womanhood. lt not only offers means of professional work. but also affords general culture and preparation for later duties that may arise in connection with the life ofa mother. As every one knows. the kindergarten system is based on the principles set forth by Frederick Froebel. A thorough study of this wonderful man and his works is offered to the young woman in training. lt has been said that his Edu- cation of Man. together with a thorough study of his Mother Play. is an edu- cation in itself. As a result of this study she finds that she not only has her mind stored with valuable and practical knowledge gleaned from these books. but that from her many attempts to fathom abstract reasoning. her mental capacity has been enlarged and her intellect immeasurably strengthened. Aside from the reading and study of Froebel, she is required to read many other prominent books of educational value. These all open to her new channels of thought and inspire her with something of the love for humanity which prompted each author to the writing of his book. Along with this reading she is for a time engaged in the study of the History of Education. She learns that the education of the race has been the predomin- ating thought from the very beginning and has received the attention of the strongest and noblest minds. Thus her respect for her work is deepened. and she knows it is worthy of the high ideals she has for it and her part in it. Through her entire course'she is engaged in dealing with F'roebel's gifts and occupations. ln her. as in the little child.this develops manual skill and correspondingly arouses the creative faculties of her mind. for she must learn to make many and various things from little material. In connection with this and all other phases of her work are required many papers and abstracts. the writing of which demands clear and intelligent expression. Q Science and free hand drawing receive her attention. These are brought to her in such a way as to lead her to correct and thoughtful observation. Her study of the simple melodies adapted to childhood. and of children's literature also deep- ens her love of the beautiful in nature as well as song. Aside from the collegiate work the student has opportunity to do practice work in the public schools during the entire two years course. Here she can apply her principles. put into practice her theories. and catch the true spirit of her work. ln the little games and plays in which she is constantly engaged. she must forget self entirely and share the children's joyous interest. lt is hard to overcome her self-consciousness. but when the battle is won. is she not better fitted for any sphere or task in life? Then. too. she must cultivate patience and tact in dealing with the little people. l49 and must ever foster a cheerful spirit. for it takes a bright and smiling face to win a little child. Sympathy, too. she must have. and this will not stop with sympathy for the child. but grow into a broader sympathy for humanity. and is not this spiritual growth? Sympathy, the outgrowth of gentle heart and soul culture, must be combined with knowledge to fit one to watch over and encourage the awakening mind. Instinct naturally helps those who have the care of children to guide the child aright. Instinct alone is not sufficient to guide the motherin her striving to meet the activities of her child in such a way as to develop his latent powers. Instinct combined with insight, which the kindergarten training gives. adds a conscious purpose. and leads to a sense of duty which insures success. CIEOOQD Hrrnnnal flhmtitg.

I have tried to exercise good judgment about the expenditure of time and money. but the Christian Association work has never disappointed me. If lhad my life to go over again I would not put less money or less time into the Young Men's Chris- tian Association work. but I would put double what I have done. ' JOHN WANAMAKER. Note. w- Mr. Wanamaker gave 8103.000 tothe P.1ila:Ielpf1ia. Young Men's C iristian Associ- ation building fund. besides numerous other gifts to association work. Under such a testimonial and with the record it has back of it. the Young Men's Christian Association has no apology to make for its presence in the Uni- versity. It is a balance wheel in the lives of the young men of the institution. and it is not a waning but a rapidly growing force in these lives. Its work on the whole has more than doubled during the past two years. The membership shows a growth of 25 per cent over last year. the budget about 55 per cent. The number taking Bible study has been doubled and the attendance in the Mission study classes trebled. To the Missionary Committee also is due a large share of the credit for the twenty volumes of up-to-date mis- sionary literature added to our library. and for the marked missionary awakening that has come upon the University. The results of the Devotional Committee's faithful work have been seen in the high order of the devotional meetings and increased attendance upon them. The Hand Book Committee has given the student body a neater and more useful work than ever before. The Reception Committee has done excellent service in meeting trains. helping students to find rooms and to become acquainted, and in the receptions provided for them. The Employment Bureau and Book Exchange Committees have made themselves useful. the latter incidentally bringing 320.00 clear profit to the treasury. The Lecture Course Committee. besides giving University Place what is probably the best array of literary talent it has yet enjoyed. has netted the Association not less than 315500. These sources of income. together with a generous gift of S200 from the heirs of General Drake. have enabled the Association to cut down by 3500 some old embarrassing accounts against it. Beyond these results are other and more important ones that cannot be reduced to statistical form. The Bible College section. organized at the beginning of the Association year. has been at least partially successful in bringing the bible students into more helpful fellowship with themselves and the other University students. and espec- ially. we hope. in educating them to the value of Association work in the fields of their ministerial labors. The Association has made its influence felt in all spheres of the University life. and even where the visible results are small. it has cul- tivated an acquaintance that may be expected to bear fruit in the future. Best of all is the deepening of the spiritual life that has come to our members and the training they have received for effective work in the years to come. The most advanced move the Association has made during the last two years. and the one responsible in large measure for the progress in other lines. is the employment. for part time. of a General Secretary. We wish in this connec- tion to commend the quiet bed-rock work of Secretary Roberts. He has by his genuinely spiritual life and by his unflagging labors in organizing. training and directing our forces. given us much in the way of present results. and has paved the way for greater works in the future. l57 Hall Denny Wright Thompson Perkins Y.

The first issue of the Delphic was in October. 1884-. with H.D. Williams as editor and J. A. Dyer as business manager. For the first ten years the faculty appointed the editorial staff. but this manner of procedure did not suit the stu- dent body and the change was finally made to the control of the student body. The first constitution was adopted either in the spring of 1894- or the fol- lowing fall. and the first election under this constitution took place in the spring of '95, resulting in the election of Miss Berth Coe as editor and Dennis Hudson as business manager. In yearly succession the editors were O. W. Lawrence. Wendell Huston. S. J. Carter. Frank Knowles. Reson Jones. H. H. Hubbell. B. O. Gammon. S. Grundy Fisher. and lastly Walter Simpson. ' The list of the graduates of the Delphic who have attained distinction in the larger Helds are numerous. lt would be longer than a roster of the gradu- ates to name even those whose productions appeared regularly. Among the first comes the names of L. M. Larson and C. O. Carter, and these are quickly fol- lowed by the larger group of writers that followed the reorganization of the paper. A. W. Taylor has the distinction of being the only one to be a regular contributor for a period of four years. two of which were as editor. Beginning with '96 the paper took on more of a literary character than the preceding years. and the names of Hermon Williams, W. H. Matlock. N. G. Brown. C. O. Morrison. Wendell Huston and O. W. Lawrence, with papers on questions philosophic. brings back thoughts of the long defunct Midland Club. a brother society to the Margaret Fullers. in more ways than one. The names of Ellen Curtis and Margaret Craig link together thoughts of two girls that spoke to us in poetic sentiments, the latter all too soon to go to that land of inspiration in which her thoughts continually dwelt. Then there was Gen- evieve Frazier and Lula Huffaker, the latter the one and only associate editor of the paper. and with this group comes the name of the Fred Paul Williams. he of the giant brain and hampered body. but who by sheer grit made himself the peer of many in the gymnasium. Then comes the latest and the most talented of those that have made the pages of the paper readable and interesting-Susie Keating Glaspell. So much for the literary part of the paper: but the Delphic has been a medium of expression of the thoughts of the college community in other things. lt has told the rest of the college world what we thought when we sent their teams to them defeated. And when the defeat for the opponent did not come there was always a hope in its columns that the next time it would be bet- ter. lt has heralded the triumph of class over class and has taken the part of the vanquished. lt has expressed the thought that hovered in the heart of us all as we stood beside the still form of one that had been one of us. It has helped to mould the disorganized mass of students into a complex but unified whole. l7l Brake Gbratnriral Azanriatinn. . OFFICERS.

The Claytonian Debating Club. now in the second year of its existence. has come to be recognized as one of the leading literary organizations of the Uni- versity. Its object is to furnish drill in public speaking and promote the interests of debating. Meetings are held every Thursday evening. and questions of the day are debated by its members. The programs are planned so that each member appears at least once a month and all are allowed to compete for a place on the inter-society debating teams. A During the past year great interest has been taken by its members. and two important debates have been won: one with the Prohibition League and the other with Berea Literary Society. ln the first of these the Claytonian Club was rep- resented by Messrs. Pinkerton. Palas and Wright. while in the second lVlessrs. Cubbage. Wicks and Atherton were our standard-bearers. The Claytonian team in the preliminaries for the Ames debate was composed of lVlessrs. Atherton. Dunlap and Bump. Although we are gratified by the successes of the past year, we expect to do still greater things in the year to come. lt is the ambition of every Claytonian to make our society nrst in the University. and with a room of our own in the new building. together with the Claytonian spirit. we hope to see its fulfillment.

One of the latest organizations in the University is the Drake Chemical Society and research club. This society was organized in the fall of 1905. and is composed of and limited to the members of the chemical faculty and advanced students in chemistry. The society has for its object the stimulation in the Uni- versity. andl especially among its members. of a spirit and interest in research work and the study and review of new work published in the various journals of this and other countries. The society holds monthly meetings at the house of its president. at which some member presents results of his new work done in the laboratory during the year. Also. each member is expected to be a regular subscriber to one or more scientific journals. along the line of his special branch of chemistry. of which he gives a freview of anything of interest to the members of the society. Some fif- teen chemical and scientific journals are thus reviewed each month. This work is supplemented by a course in the fundamental principles and formulae of the science given each week by the head of the department. lt is to Professor Kinney that the inception and the founding of the society is due. We all feel that great honor is due to him. for he is a very busy man. being State Chemist of Iowa and a member of the American Chemical Society. American Association for the Advancement of Science. Societie Chemique de Paris. Deutschen Chemische Geselsehaft and other organizations. It is solely due to his desire to assist followers of the science to better things that he does so much for us. Recognizing this fact we take this opportunity to show our appreciation of his many kindnesses and the respect and honor we have for him. We feel proud of the fact that the school has reached such a stage and stand- ing as to warrant sufficient interest and desire for this kind of work. All of those who go out this year have already secured fine positions. One goes to Cleveland. Ohio. as chemist in a large manufacturing plant: one to Col- orado with a big mining company. and others in equally good positions in lowa. Some work of special merit this year is that of Mr. lngels on cyanide extrac- tion of sulphid and tellurid gold ores, Mr. Breckler on radio active substances and radio activity. Mr. Jordan on expired carbon dioxid and also carbon dioxid thrown off from combustion of illuminating materials, that from illuminants. and Mr. Burrows and Winship on the synthetical preparation of camphor, and Mr. Nugent on standardization of solutions I THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS ARES PROP.

These young women are the mem- bers of the Margaret Fuller Club. I The Margaret Fuller Club was organized in October, 1896, with the Misses Edith Frazier. Allegra Frazier, Elizabeth Bruner, Bonnie Jewett. Margaret Jewett and Dura Brokaw as charter members. lts object-the study of literature, art, science and the vital interests of the day. The name was proposed by Barton O. Aylesworth. then President of the University. While this organization has had its social features, it has never lost sight of the real purpose for which it came into existence, and a program of serious and sometimes heavy work has been followed every year. The last year's study has been along sociological lines. a text book having been adopted as a guide. Active membership is limited to twelve and is composed of those connected with the University as students. alumni. or instructors. During the almost eight years of the Club's history there have been only twenty-six members. But once a Margaret Fuller. always a Margaret Fuller. and at every regular meeting every name is called. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the bonds uniting the members of this organization are thus strong, almost sacred. There come trooping a wealth of happy memories as the names of now distant charter mem- bers are read. or those of Georgetta Witter. Jennie Carpenter. Minee Cady. Susie Keating Glaspell. Rilla Lane. Mary Craig. H. Rea Woodman. Lulu P. Huffaker. Jennie I. Robinson. Then-Agnes Martin. The words bring before the mind that dignified. womanly accomplished one who. as Mrs. Frederick D. Cloud, rests in an early-made grave. Or Margaret. pure, gentle. bright Margaret Noyes Craig, a flower so delicate that the Great Gardner saw fit to take it to himself. The officers for the present year: President. Corinne Coggeshall: Vice- President. Jessie Taft: Secretary. Kathryn Van Meter: Treasurer, Bonnie Jewett Welpton. The other active members are: Elizabeth Bruner. Margaret Jewett- Mary A. Carpenter. Nelle Burton Amsbary, Ella M. Allison, Maud Davis Sprague. Mabel Reynolds Monilaw. Delia F. Still. Other associations have meant and are meaning much to the members of the Margaret Fuller Club. yet to them many of the most prized memories cluster about the organization. the flower of which is the violet. and the colors those of the flower and its leaf.

It was only through the utmost diligence upon the part of Dr. Nlonilaw. together with the assistance of Captain Chapman, and only after the boys had received a couple of scares in dual meets at Grinnell and Ames respectively. did they pull out of the rut to round into State meet form. Dr. lVlonilaw's work with the boys in the Gym.. as we courteously and affec- tionately call our little dug-out. was highly successful in bringing out and devel- oping new men. Some of his proteges for this seasons work are Bill Sleeper. he of two mile fame: Bobbie Thompson, Barton Haggard. Vernie Bunten. Oley Kintz. Duke. Woodrow. Carpenter and several others. Here is a bunch of lads who will figure in the several meets during the spring of 1904. The work of the old men in the gym. was good. Chapman. the captain of the team. was very consistent in his record breaking in the pole vault. ln nearly every department meet he would clear the bar at ll feet 9 inches. which is the world's record for indoor pole vaulting. Every two weeks department meets were held in the gym. where the greatest enthusiasm and excitement would prevail. Along in March. just as soon as the weather would permit. cross-country runs were begun. Every day from sixty to a hundred boys could be seen galloping off across the fields. These runs were very beneficial to the boys. for by the time the track was in shape.they were vigorous and ready for the strenuous efforts the work on the track brings forth. l84 The home meet was held on the home grounds April 25th. Some good records were made. Chapman at this time demonstrated himself to be the greatest vaulter in the world by vaulting the astonishing height of 12 feet. The best previous record was ll feet 10 l-2 inches. made by Clapp of Yale. Chapman in this meet also equaled the State record in thelhigh hurdles, of 16 l-5 sec. These were the most creditable performances. On May 9th the Drake athletes met the warriors of Grinnell. at Grinnell. and defeated them by a score of 55 to 49. The next week the boys went to Ames and there did the trick 54 to 418. By this time the boys were thoroughly aroused and they clearly knew that the State meet could now be won only by the most strenuous efforts. In this meet. held May 28th. the biggest west of the Mississippi. the Drake athletes again for the third consecutive time. came out victorious by a lead of ten points over their nearest competitors. the boys from the State University. At this time Chapman was sick and could barely get around at all. He actually got out of a sick bed to take part in the meet. Even under these conditions he won his event. the pole vault. but was clearly out of the running in the hurdles on account of his condition. The question before the boys is. can we win again for the fourth time? lf we do. it will truly be phenomenal. and will demonstrate what we have long known, that Nlonilaw is one of the greatest trainers the west has ever seen. HARRY J. THOMPSON. ,M Thompson and Jaggard, Long Distance Stars. 'iss TRACK TEAM. 1903 HENRY THURMAN CHAPMAN First came to Drake in the fall of '98, the year of our cham- pionship foot-ball team. and it was a natural thing for his mind to be turned toward athletics at that time. He at First gave little promise of his athletic ability. but after some time Monilaw discovered that he- could pole vault. His first noteworthy achievement was in the spring of 1900. when he set the State record in the pole vault at 10 feet. 6 inches. The best thing he could do the next year was third at the State meet. but he had the satisfaction of seeing a Drake man set the record at 10 feet. 8 inches. ln the spring of 1902 he and Pell were a track team by themselves. ln the triangular meet at Ames he won the pole vault and sur- prised Bair by running away from him in the 120 yd. hurdles. Main getting second. At the State meet he got second in the pole vault, and in an extremely close race with Anderson. of lowa. won the 120 yd. hurdles in the State rec- ord time of 16 1-5 sec. Drake succeeded in winning only 66 1-2 points on that day. But his great record of the year was made in the con- ference meet at Chicago. where after a long contest. he defeated Dvorak of Michigan and Magee of Chicago. two of the best vaulters in the United States. and setting the Western Intercollegiate record at 1 1 feet, 6 1-2 inches. Of his indoor record last year, it is too well known to be discussed at length. ln three successive meets his marks were 11 feet. 8 1-2 inches, 1 1 feet. 8 inches. 11 feet. 8 inches. At one of these meets he was nearly over at 12feet, 1 inch. At the home meet in the spring his records were: Pole vault. 12 feet. breaking world's recordp 120 yd. hurdle, 16 1-5 seconds. tying State record: altogether he won 20 1-4 points that day. During the rest of the season he won the high hurdles and pole vault at the dual meets with Grinnell and Ames, but he did not show up in as good form as in he season. He had a streak of bad luck by being sick the the earlier part of t day before the State meet. He won the pole vault. however. with ease. and ran well in both the relay races. He has been track captain twice. in 1901 and 1905. and has both times proven himself a worthy leader of his team. Besides his great track records he has also shown good foot-ball ability. but on account of parental objection he did not play much till last fall. when he soon earned the position of sub-half back, and played in most of the later games of the season. He always gave a good account of himself. As his four years in athletics are completed. he has this spring accepted the position as trainer of the West Des Moines High School team. so his days as an amateur athlete are over. But the Drake students will long remember him for his many victories at State and dual meets. and for his great vault in Chicago two years ago. He graduates this year. and. we will have to look to other athletes to win our future meets. But we won't soon forget Thurman. HARRY J. THOMPSON. The subject of this sketch entered Drake in the fall of 1900. and has been here ever since. He had had no previous training in athletics. but early in the spring of 1901 he began to give promise of exceptional ability as a long distance runner. He and Emerson made a good ' X H team for the mile run that spring. winning in the dual meets. while Emerson got sec- ond and Thompson third in the state meet. At Chicago. a week later. he won second in the two-mile. These are fine records for the first year of training. The next year nothing in the state could touch him. He won both the half mile and the mile in triangular meet at Ames. In the state meet his records were: Half mile. 2 min. 1-5 sec.. state record: mile run 4:4-41. first place. ln neither one of these races was he pushed at all. Especially. he ran away from every one in the mile. so that one of the daily papers in its write-up next day. said Thompson's competitors couldnt see him with a spy-glass. In the mile at Chicago. a.week later. he had the misfortune to be knocked down. but he got up after the bunch had run over him. and in a strong finish landed close to the front. although he failed to get a place. ln the early part of last season he gave promise of still better records. At the home meet he was in better shape than ever 1 before. ln a short time. however, the veins of his legs became varicosed. and he was unable to train regularly and keep in proper condition. and he thus lost confidence in his ability. ln spite of this he made quite good records. as he won the mile in the dual meet with Grinnell, and second in the half at Ames, Jaggard getting first. ln the state meet he won third in the mile, one of the features of the meet being his 500 yard sprint at the close of this race. At the close of the season he was elected track captain for 1904. He seems to have recovered his form of two years ago. and gives promise of repeating his 1902 record. Thompson entered Drake as a Senior Preparatory student. and after finish- ing his Freshman year took up a law course. and is at present classified as a Jun- ior law. He is a favorite with all classes of the students. and has been for two years one of the student members of the Athletic Board. We are all glad that he still has one year left. in which to bring more fame to his University. isa v, - -1 A GLIMPSE OF THE HOME FIELD FINISH. I2O YARD HURDLE RACE.

Any one who attends athletic contests of any kind.naturally expects exciting moments to arise when anxiety and enthusiasm reach their highest pitch. Espe- cially is this true at the State Meets. ln a relay race the tension and excitement is continuous. there being four races in one. Drake had won many contests. so many that she stands where she ought- at the front in Iowa athletics. But in all her history Drake had not won a relay race in the State Meet. ln former years it had not been necessary to do so in order to win. nor was it necessary this year. But to put the finishing touch to the State Meet of 1905. four good. reliable Drake athletes determined to do what had never been done before. and they did it to the satisfaction of all inter- ested. Chet Main. the South Dakota wonder. Crit Young. the diminutive sprinter. Neal Randall of Colorado. and old reliable Henry Barnes accomplished this feat. lt is doubtful if four as good sprinters have ever been together in any school of the state. lt takes head as well as muscle to run a relay race. and four heads certainly proved better than one. The state record of 1:54-25 for the half- mile relay race was equaled. and a prettier race never was run. C. H. T. l92 18215111111 nf llama State Zlnm'-Glnllrgiate Jlllvet, 'lJ3.

A' RESUME l905 V' 'VJ v T D f 6 K' That any one may intelligently review the past sea- A ...aff son at Drake. a few fundamental truths must be thor- oughly considered: I l i . ...l ig ' , l. The System of Coaching. Q. The Individual lVlen. my will 0 V ' 5. The Opportunity for Work. Q, . Wy I svsriaivi OF coAci-imc. ' EC ln previous years Drake has always had coaches V T from some school of admitted superiority in a foot-ball line: men who were players of recognized ability. and men with a wide knowledge of foot-ball in all its phases. Consequently when the Athletic Board chose Dr. Wm. J. Monilaw as Foot-ball Coach. they doubtless took the most radical step any school ever attempted. Many schools have adopted what is called the Graduate System of coaching and with varied success. Drake not only installed the Graduate System. but placed at the head a man of no practical experience upon the Gridiron. A more delicate and a more difficult position can not be easily imagined. To gain the confidence of twenty-five living. breathing and thinking individ- uals who had all played foot-ball. to have them discard their own individual ideas and system. was the problem Dr. Nlonilaw had to face. How well he accomplished this task can be most briefly stated by saying that at lowa 4October lOth7 every play was characterized by its individuality. while against Simpson lOctober Zalstl the team worked as a unit. The most noticeable feature of the Drake team as compared with other years was the physical condition of the men. Drake finished the hardest schedule she has ever played with the fewest injuries she has ever known. No supporter of the Blue and White ever became anxious lest Drake's men should get all in. l95 . Weighing. then. carefully the facts. L1 J. that Drake's system of coaching was radically changed this year: 625. that this was the initial year in the experi- ment: 155. that the physical condition of the team was vastly superior to any- thing Drake has known: and C4-D. that Drake finished the hardest schedule she ever played with, more than an average number of victories. ought any one to have complaints to offer? INDIVIDUAL MEN. Drake's season opened with more good'individual men than she has seen upon the field since the season of 1901. I The hound of ill luck which followed that team throughout the season was garbed in no other clothes than those of failure to report for practice and lack of training off the field. During the past season Coach Nlonilaw has had very little reason to com- plain along this line. When he had reason the men were properly disciplined. even if it had to be done at great expense and accompanied by a great risk. l do not hesitate to go on record as saying that the Drake University Foot- ball Team of 1905 trained more consistently and more faithfully than any team that has, in my knowledge. represented the school. For this l give all credit to the frank. manly men who have composed the squad. Convinced that success is largely dependent upon these conditions, they have lived up to their convictions. As the season progressed. some of the men upon whom Drake depended. quit. The self-sacrifice was too great to be outweighed by their love for the school. The regret of the many at those several times will only be surpassed in years to come by the keen feeling of regret in 'the mind of each and every one of those same men. The still further advanced position taken by our legibility committee, the better training of the men. and the general spirit developed. have made it a most successful year for the team. And as a fitting crown for the whole year's work. C. E. Walters was chosen captain for 1904. Walters is a man whose general makeuplcontains far more of the requisites for a captain than any man who has ever led Drake's team. The choice is to be most highly commended. , Iss FOOT-BALL SQUAD. 1905 DR. W. J. MONILAW. ln years to come. when some old grad. sits down to sketch the history of Drake Athletics. his pen will How smoothly and rapidly over a period of years from 1892 to 1897. During those years there is little to make the heart beat quickly. From those years we cherish but one single remembrance: Mighty oaks from little acorns grow. But now. alas! the writer becomes more eloquent: he touches those chords which make the whole system tingle: he relates those events which make a unit of the student body. After he has completed his epitome of the second decade he re-reads it and finds to his own aston- ishment that unconsciously he has written a partial biography of the life of Wm. J. Monilaw. So intricately interwoven are the two thatfanother result is impossible. Realizing the advantages of a univer- sity education. and desiring to taste thereof. Billy the Kid gladly accepted the prop- osition to take charge of the Drake Gym. and a bunch of men whom Drake supporters dubbed a track team. The name was used not because those men were learned in athletics. but for the reason that other institutions bestowed a similar title. With a firm conviction that theories and air castles are haunts for the idle only. Monilaw decided to take a room at neither place. The other path open to him led to that practical retreat of the man who believes that success lies in doing. We see the wisdom of such choice when we recall the meets from 1898 to 1905. We review the period with a feeling of great pride. We were happy when, for the first time. Drake secured third place in astate meet. We were happy when Hrst place was snatched from us through the protest of Holland. We are happy in the possession of an Iowa lnter-Collegiate Amateur Athletic Association cup won in contests against the lnvincibles la pre-historic titlel. And is there a good cause for all this joy? Yes. several. If you would seek three causes they are. the individual athlete. work and Wm. J. Monilaw. lf you should reduce the causes to two. you have work and Wm. J. Monilaw. If your deduction seeks the one cause. it is Dr. Wm. J. Monilaw. But what of the man outside of his work as trainer? He has completed a combined college-medical course of six years. entitling him to the degree of Doc- tor of Medicine. and received second honors in the class. As a factor in college life he stands pre-eminently for all that is healthful. physically. mentally and mor- ally. As a man of industry Dr. Monilaw is our example par excellence. 198 JULIUS F. BAGON. ln the spring of 1898 a young High School mile runner appeared in sprinter suit upon the Drake athletic held to watch the Drake squadwork out. and in this manner gain some points of the game This young man -or rather boyd soon began to show form. speed and endurance. and in weekly try outs showed a clean pair of heels to all Drake distance runners. They were few in those days. Such was Bake's first appearance. We kept on the good side of this runner. hoping that when he completed his High School course he would enter Drake. But in this case. as in many others. Grin- nell cut in our plans and Julius entered that institution in the fall 1898. One year at Grinnell seemed enough. for in fall of 1899 he matriculated at Drake. and since then he has walked up like a little man and paid his money three times annually to Bursar:Allen. 5X4 yrs.:l2 payments and lQx5S--'- - is :-- -never mind how much-for he has never paid in half so much in tuition as the Univer- sity has gotten out of him in athletics. in debate. in society. in wit. humor. good nature and many other ways. Julius was substitute on the '99 team and in 1900 he made the team. land- ing in the quarter back position. Julius was a hard luck player. He seemed to be playing a game against fate. But to one who knows the game and who watched the practice. it would seem that the peculiar thing called luck-or in other words'-Bacon's inability to cope with desperate situations was not a fault of his. but a lack of proper coaching. He always played the game as he practiced it and as he was coached. The writer of this article thinks, as do many others. that the blame which fell to the shoulders of Bacon at the end of many defeats did not belong there at all. Sur- face critics of foot-ball see a thing happen and cry mistake-. Deep students of the game. however. look into the situation -they feel of a player's qualities- consider his union with the others. watch his practice. his coaching. his physical condition. etc.. and place mistakes. errors. etc.. where they belong. Bacon was captain of the 1900 team and acting captain in 1900-'Ol and '02 Bliss was captain in 1901, and in first game of the season received an injury to his knee which kept him out for the season. Thus was Bacon captain. practically. for two seasons. . Bacon was a field general at all times: had absolute control of the men: what he said went. He knew when a player wasn't doing his part and relieved him. He knew every position on the team: could coach and ginger any man in a game and turn many limp lines into stone-walls. These qualities made him the unanimous choice for assistant coach in 1905. No one has reason to regret the choice. Bacon knows the game and has the ability to tell what he knows. He worked hard and faithfully with the teams last fall. and much of the success of the 1905 team was due to him. Such are the qualities which made Bacon a reliable track man and monarch on the gridiron. 199 CLAY STUART. - ln the fall of 1899. at the beginning of the season, the boys clad in foct-ball clothes were going through the preliminary practice of falling on the ball and tackling. A new man came out upon the grounds, some 6 ft., 5 inches in height and over 200 lbs. in weight. This was Stuart's first try out at foot-ball. During that fall he made the second team. The next year- that year of the famous 1900 team. Stuart proved good and was playing full-back. Aided by his weight. and moderately fast on his feet. he made a reputation as a line bucker. In the fall of 1901 Clay Stuart entered the Dental College. He came out regularly. but this year. after playing full back part of the season. he was placed at tackle, and here played a steady game. Probably last season he did his best work-he was con- sidered the star tackle of Iowa.: being good on the defensive and on the oifensive was a sure ground gainer. Whenever the captain wanted to make a first down Muck was called on and he rarely disappointed him. A A At the end of the season all the foot-ball boys assembled at Channing Smith's and Muck was unanimously elected captain. , Being captain his last year he played his steady old game and won for him- self the reputation of being one of Drake's best players. One of the qualities that Muck possessed. that is so much needed on the gridiron. is the quality of being a good punterf' For the last three years Muck has been our standby in punting the ball, kicking them in such a manner that made them difficult to catch. Also in drop kicking he developed quite a tact. Summing up we find that Muck possessed the qualities that make a good foot-ball player, and he has made a reputation along that line so that his name shall always be remembered in connection with it. ' 200 BUCK WALTERS. C. E. Walters was born in Cisne. Wayne county. lllinois. on June ll. 1881, and moved to Fairfield in September, 1885.

While there he took part in three football games and one athletic meet. winning two of the games and also the meet. He was mus- tered out May 22. 1898. and started to high school. It was here that his real ath- letic ability was shown. During his three years of high school he was captain of the football team for two years. and won for himself the name of an all around player. He was also captain of the track team and did creditable work. ln the fall of 1901 he came to Drake. donned a foot-ball suit and in a short time made the team. Being fast on his feet and heavy. he was first placed in as full back. Having the quality of charging fast and hard. and when his head hit some opponent there was generally a call for time. ln the fall of 1902 he came back and played several po- sitions -full back. right tackle and right guard. At tackle he was a tower of strength. stopping play after play that was directed upon him. Last year old Buck was again found in his position. and he certainly played it well. When Drake played Michigan. time and time again the plays that were directed over him. were stopped for no gain. Buck was always a favorite among the boys, and at the end of a successful season he was unanirrously chosen captain. The reason for his being so successful in athletics was that he was a consistent trainer throughout the season as well as at all other times. He was a friend of everybody's and always had a new joke to spring: speedy on his feet: heady and a good all around player. He was classed as one of the best tackles in the state. ln track athletics he won places for us in the shot and dis- cus.

The powers that be had declared that there should be no class scraps: so when it came time for the annual foot-ball game, class spirit was at its height. There were rumors that there might be something doin'. so everybody came out. lt was decreed that there should be no school after two o'clock. Promptly at 2 o'olock a delegation went to the ground: we found that all theJuniors and Seniors were armed with canes and wearing badges with big blue let- ters saying lVlarshal.

Suddenly there arose a cheer and eleven men with eleven different kinds of suits all bundled up in sweaters. hiding pillows and other various articles that were soft. appeared. The whistle is blown: 1 1 men on each side. each eager to get in the play. The ball is kicked off. caught, tackled and things settle down for good line bucking, long end runs. Tackling around the ears brings forth echoes and echoes of cheers for the favor- ite sides. Class yells were much indulged in. Actually. it is said of one girl of '06 class who yelled so long and loud, that her voice would rival the bass string of a bass viol. After a zigzag course over the field and the frequent call for time and water. the first half ended 'score 5 to O. in favor of Sophomores. Ten minutes rest. in which the Sophomore heroes marched up. smiling on the girls that did the yelling. Everything ready. the second half is on: the Freshmen are determined to get a touchdown.

A few more minutes to play. said the timekeepers. and the players played liked demons, but be it as it may, they couldn't make the required touchdown and time was called.

For two years he stood at the helm and helped to take the work of the team and do himself what others should have done. As a pitcher he has few superiors among the college men of the West.

He had been editor of the Junior Annual himself when in college. and that is why the words in the upper left hand corner carried him closer to the old days than he had come for some time. Perhaps they wanted him to write something: or. more likely still. they wanted his subscription. He tore the envelope across the end, and then he read and re-read the type- written words upon the piece of blue paper. The editor of the Quax had said to him: UMY DEAR NIR. WARREN: We are hoping to make the Annual better this year than it has ever been before. and we are sure all Drake alumni will feel a keen personal interest in our effort. l write to ask if you will prepare for us a sketch of Edward Forrest. I am sure you will agree with us that he has taken a higher place in the world than as thus far gone out from Drake. and we wish to show our appre- ciation of him as a Drake alumnus. We wrote Mr. Forrest last week. telling him o do. and asking his preference as to the writer of the sketch.

At last he folded the piece of paper and returned it to its place in the envel- ope. Then he leaned back in his chair and looked all about the room. He was seeing it all H- the worn matting, the smoky stove. the small and not up-to-date liorary. with new eyes.-seeing it in the light of the fact that back at his old school. back where they had once carried him on their shoulders and shouted his name in great peals of triumph, he was of importance now solely because he had forfour years been the room-mate of Ned Forrest. With a kind of sick feeling going through and through him.he recalled how,one night, upon returningfrom an inter' collegiate debate which he had won for the school. Ned had met him at the door and had called out with a jubilant ring in his voice. Do you know what they'll say about me ten years hence? They'll say, 'See that fellow over there? Well. that fellow was Fritz Warren's room-mate at college.' And now. fifteen years had gone by and Ned Forrest was in Congress. looked to as one of the coming ms men of the country, while Fritz Warren. the man Drake had believed would carry her name to high places. was sitting in a dingy little law office of one of the coun- try towns of Iowa. using the same things he had bought for himself fifteen years before. doing much the same kind of things. having lost one thing-ambition, and having taken on another-resignation. That is why the smoky stove and the badly worn matting were something more than shabby pieces of furniture. they were the symbols of failure, the things which stood for buried hopes and unful- filled possibilities. for a life not made good. He got up and put some more coal in the little stove: he finished up a petition he was going to tile next day. and thenistood there by the window looking across at the court house square and thinking of many thingsv-of Ned Forrest, of him- self. ofthe old days. of failure and success. What was it that made for failure?-and what for success? Not degree of brain power, for he had always stood higher than Ned in things which were a mere matter of brains. Infact Ned had not even been classed with the really great students in the little college world. Ned was a jolly good fellow. a hustler, a pusher, a great old boy: he was many things that are to be desired. but as to usual scholarship. not even professors who loved him most had ever made that claim for him. No. it was not scholarship. and it was not alone good fellowship. All who were called good fellows did not succeed: to the contrary. that very thing had kept many of them from success. What was it then? Just chance--fate, some- thing or' other that could not be defined. That was the way it was in the world: things just happened: it was all unaccountable. freakish. The people who had in them the qualities which should have made for them success ended their lives in the back woods. and the great men of the country reached their positions through a peculiar series of accidents. So what did it matter? Why should one mind failure? Why should one mind anything in a world that was one great game of chance? And yet. one did mind, or at any rate one thought about it, and wondered- He went back to the office to keep an appointment with a man that night, and after the man had gone he sat there alone thinking of things he could not put from him. Ned was agreat man: he was going to be one of the great men of the country: and as to him. he was just the commonplace country lawyer--the man without a future. Those were facts hard to understand: facts not easy to face. They had parted the day after commencement, and he had come to this little town, which it was thought then was booming. and which. like himself. had not made good. Ned had looked around in several of the Iowa cities. and then one day there had come a letter from him post-marked Chicago. You'll say I'm crazy. it read: you'll say l'll starve, and all that. but some way I can't get away from the notion that this is the place for me. and this is where I'm going to hang out my little shingle. and this is where I'm going to make things go. 2l6 And in a way which no one. not even Ned himself. pretended to understand. he had made things go. Whether it was getting in on that sensational case, whether it was having a newspaper friend who knew just when and how to say the right thing. whether it was a compelling voice. a persuasive smile. a winning personality--no matter what. he had someway made things go. He forced the public to take notice of him. and then he did something to it. hypnotized it. likely, and now he was in the House. and Chicago. at least. was eyeing him for the Senate. He concluded to write the sketch then and there. That would get Ned out of his mind. and break up a gloomy train of thought. It would be easy enough to tell what a fine. lovable fellow he had always been. tell some character- stic things he had done. tell how proud his old friends were of him. and then wind up with some kind of well sounding tribute. But it was not easy. He made three or four beginnings. only to tear them all up with the first page. He did not like the sound of them: he could feel that they did not ring true. They seemed to refiect the spirit that was upon him. the spirit which had grown out of his conviction that it was a world of chance. that most of the great men of the earth were but the favorite children of some- thing called Fate. and that hidden under the debris of unfavorable circumstances was many a man who had in him the real essence of greatness. lt was after midnight: the fire had gone out. the room was growing cold. He decided tofgive it up. He rose and put on his coat. but while taking his hat from the peg something came to him with all the force and stimulus of an elec- tric shock. Ned had succeeded. No matter why. no matter how: one fact remained: he had. Slowly and almost laboriously he began working it out with himself. He began to see that one must face success as a fact. even as life and death. and other things which could not be understood. must be faced as facts. There had been something in Ned Forrestwhich made for success. and the fact that it could not be defined could in no sense be used as an argument against its existence. It might be baffling of analysis-elusive. but a thing which had proved itself. was a thing which was there. What was it then? this strange something which held within it the possibil- ities of success? What could man say? And. after all. did it matter? lt was not mind. not temperament. not personality. not character. not fate. none of those alone- -perhaps the rightness of the proportion. but withal something distinctive. something half mystic. some kind of a divine spark which marked a few men for the seats of the mighty. And Ned Forrest. the good old fellow of his college days. the boy whom he had once outclassed, was one of the men born with this strange genius for suc- cess! A wholly new sense of pride in his friend's triumph was coming over him. He had always been glad Ned had done things. but his inability to understand it. his tendency to analyze. had taken some of the sharp edge from his pleasure. It had always seemed chance rather than Ned. but now it was Ned himself. some- 2l7 thing in him greater than mind. greater than all else-that elusive something which makes a few men master of many. . He looked all around the room. that room which spoke out its own story. He had failed and Ned had succeeded: these two facts he faced. And it was not that he had been in hard luck and Ned had been fortunate. lt was because he. of the greater mind. had lacked a something which Ned had possessed. It is hard to say why it was that the fact of Ned's having succeeded seemed of a sud- den to become of more importance than the fact of his having failed. A light was coming into his eyes. and late though it was he sat down at his desk and pulled out some sheets of paper. All alone in the desolate little room the commonplace country lawyer wrote his sketch of Ned Forrest. It was the man who had lost writing of the man who had won, and out of his deep knowledge of failure sprang a true and beautiful appraisement of success. Was it inspirational? If not, if there be no such thing as the inspirational. from whence came the great deep light in his eyes. and why was he trembling so that when he rose to his feet he must needs lean heavily upon his desk? What was it that Fritz Warren put into that sketch of Ned Forrest? The beautiful. world-wide love of college-boy for college-boy ?--the unselhsh love of chums?- the spirit of joy in the triumph of a friend? Perhaps: but back of that which. though beautiful. was altogether human. shown the great white light of Fritz Warren's soul. At rare. rare times in the life of the world a soul has gone into a pen and at such times words destined to immortality have been born. As he slipped the envelope into the postoflice late that night he knew that failure. though a hard master. had led him up toward the heights of truth. - The work of that night did not find final resting-place in the college annual. It made its way into newspapers and literary journals all over the land. lt was embodied in many a speech: it illumined many a sermon. It added to the lustre of Ned Forrest's name, and it brought from more than one the query, Who is this Fred Warren, anyhow? A great critic pondered long over the little sketch. His practiced eye saw something behind the words. something behind even the thoughts. He was keen -this great critic. and that is why. after an hour of thought. he penned upon the margin of the clipping: lt is not impossible that the most beautiful thing ever written of success came from the pen of a man who had failed.

But he mourned the wrong he was made to see And he sighed for the better world to be.

I And it came to pass in the year one thousand. nine hundred and four. in the first month on the fourth day of the month, that great hosts came up from the country around about unto the Capital City to the seat of learning thereof. there to inquire of the great and learned men concerning the wisdom and knowledge of the ages. For this cause came they there. that they might apply their hearts unto wisdom. in the keeping of which a man may be advanced among his fellows. and himself may serve his generation. Among these there came a youth called John, of the family of Smith. than which there is no larger family. more ancient or more renowned in all the earth. From the farm of his father's he came. where from a child he had been taught to plow. to sow. to rise with the sun and to toil after the going down thereof. Tall and like unto an arrow for straightness was he. and withal of a goodly counte- nance. For a time he dwelt apart with his books seeking the very secrets of knowledge. And behold when he went up from one class till he came to another neither did he turn to the right hand nor to the left. But one day he lifted up his eyes from the pages of wisdom and looked upon the campus. began to linger in the halls. until behold on the morrow he heard his name called. and giving heed he answered, saying: - What will you have me to do? We would have you bestow honor upon our debating club by adding your name to our roll. And this was but the beginning thereof. for behold. not many days passed until the voices of a multitude came to his ears crying. To here! and To there I Our Society! Come with us! Give of your time to the athletic board. The duty of training devolves upon you. Walk up and down the byways selling tickets to the lecture course. Let your voice resound in the Y lVl. C. A.

These and many other acts did he perform. and it came to pass that he must needs burn many a mid-night candle. that he nodded in his classes. and in the halls between bells he accosted many. speaking of this interest. that contriving. the merits thereof and the good to be derived therefrom. And thus. as his popularity grew and self-confidence waxed strong in his heart. he came to lead in many con- flicts: mighty men of valor made him their chief: ran him for the editor of the paper. business manager of the Annual: nay more. captain of the valiant men of might. who. on the place known among the nations as the gridiron. offer them- selves as living sacrifices for the glory of their Alma Mater: and thus on the lips of the students was his name heard i-n loud praise. 221 Many duties weary a man, They try the mettle of his strength. They cause him to live in the college. Not simply to learn for the world.

Pk an 2: Dk And behold with the multitudes that flocked to the halls of learning, came another youth from the pasture lands of the prairies. firm of form and with eager eyes. And, behold. when he looked he saw James of the tribe of Johnson, less numerous, but ever of good repute. And. lo! when he came to the college he did according to all that his fathers had done and neglected not a book for to study it, never lifting his eyes therefrom. And he came to be called a student, than which there is within the college no greater name. nor one so often abused. Deep at the well of wisdom he drank. but his thirst was not quenched. Yet before or since there has not arisen another like unto him for knowledge, an example to the new students, a reproof to the oldfthose who still continued to apply them- selves unto learning. He was the pride of professors. who did praise and extol his achievements. With the men of old he lived Aphilosophers. poets, those who made kingdoms and those who caused the destruction thereof. Did the class perform the ceremonies of a bum? He was not found in their midst. nor did they marvel thereat. For behold with time and silver had he bought his student right. neither would he sell it for a mess of pottage: nay, not even fora portion of the pottage which s pleasant to the taste and might be purchased by trespassing only a little upon his student right-not even for the most delicate pottage with its exceeding beau- tiful label of Class Bum. Joint Reception. Senior Play. Field Meet. or Football Game. For in this manner had he even regarded all functions and the trappings thereof. And so it came to pass that all pottage venders came to leave him unnoticed, and his student right remained sacred to himself. Think you that he had no struggles? According to the testimony of the learned. the college course is a problem of problems. and there is no end of them- Think you he fought no battles? ln the counsel of many masters there is con- Hict. In the driving of doubt, the testing of truth. there is oft but a glimmer to guide. Many studies weary a man. They try the mettle of his mind. They cause him to search in the college 222 For truths that have ruled all the ages. Reverence belongs to him along With the child. the seer and the master.

And behold these days came to an end. and the time drew nigh when the black-robed throng crowned with caps. square-topped with the tassel appended. advanced to take possession of the coveted scroll. to receive the honorable degrees-those props and pillars of profs and other professional people. And the Seniors went forth from the college and the Juniors reigned in their stead.

Does it seem that in attempting to answer this question one is searching a justification for his settled course of action? ls it logical to habitually perform a certain act and then at last to ask one's self why one does it? It would seem to be logical to know the why before performing the act. Why ask the question now. since millions of taxes have been voted by a free people upon themselves to support public and state schools, and other millions are given with a large hand from an open pocket for the support of church schools. Still, however, why? To give some friend, political or personal, a chair with a salary attachment? Hardly that. An easier chair with a large attachment could be found for such friends. lt is the general belief that there is some intrinsic value in an education to the one possessing it. ls it of any value to any one besides the possessor? Are the people entirely and absolutely unselfish in their motives with reference to support of schools? Probably not. as the millenial date is apparently yet some months ahead. Possibly the general idea, not always expressed. is, that we. the people, even if we cannot all use the opportunity. will ourselves receive indirect benefit from the education of those more fortunate, in the way of a keener sense of justice between man and man. and a realization of the nobility of citizenship. Yet we are not wholly selfish. A rich vein of altruism courses through the body politic. But I am more concerned with the question Why educate yourself? If the answer be, to make a living easier, then the motive is legitimate. l know of no law in philosophy, ethics, science or religion making it compulsory or even advisa- ble always to lift the end of the heavy log by the strength of arms and back if the same object can be accomplished as well and as quickly by sitting down on the end of a handspike. However this is not the most ethical reason for educating one's self. This is only a utilitarian animal reason.- less exertion to get a bed and bite from day to day.-an entirely selfish reason.-one not rising above the lower of the egotistic. Any better reason? Even if there were no social instinct in humanity. even if one could live entirely apart from all others, still would there not be a reason for education of hand. head. and heart? An ethical or religious reason? Nothing is given to any except to be held in trust. and every one if he prove himself to be a man, will prove himself trustworthy. The ten talents are to be used. or the two or the one. The trustworthy never puts talent away in a napkin. but trades with it so as to return it with its legitimate gain. A mind of whatsoever native strength, may be made to yield its increase. a moral nature, however perverse, may be taught and trained until it yields the fruits of the spirit: the body, how- ever weak or strong. may be brought into subjection until it is a fit temple. The trinity of humanity is imperfect, but when it be time to render an account to the divine Trinity that account need not be given with fear and trembling. 224 To be entirely honest with himself and with his creator, the talents instructed to a man must be used continuously. used actively. What does this mean if not that the body must be controlled. the mind educated. and the moral nature chas- tened. The greatest product of Cod's creation has not done his whole duty to himself if he returns his talent to his Creator wrapped in a napkin. But no one liveth to himself alone. A Friday at least. comes into the life of others besides a Robinson Crusoe. Duty to one's self is not the only duty to be fulnlled. The spirit of altruism makes many appeals to those who hear and to those seemingly deaf. The over-zealous enthusiast attempts to act upon the call immediately. though his enthusiasm be the only resource upon which to rely in action. It is not wise to jump into the river to save one from drowning if the would-be rescuer has a ball and chain on his feet and a millstone about his neck. Disaster comes to both. lt is wise for the enthusiast to consider before he devotes himself to the reform of the world. He should take an invoice of himself to determine his resources. Has he a body not in subjection: a mind untrained: a will that cannot control himself: a moral nature erratic in its action? Then let him unbind his feet and remove the millstones from his neck before attempting to be a savior. Life's ditches are so many. so irregular and intricate that the blind needs be wary. and especially if the leader be blind also. Duty knows no comparative degree: is not subject to fractional distillation. Duty is plain. positive dutyf1OO per cent., chemically pure. Duty is either done or it is not done. Duty demands the best that man can give man: not what is good. but that which is best. The best can be given only after it is possessed by the giver. To obtain possession of it may mean years of hard work. great sacri- lice.-even life itself yielded up perhaps upon the cross: but get it one must before it can be given. True altruism then. demands the utmost development of self first. Reach that stage of power and perfection where you will,and by what method you will. Moses and John were in preparation in the wilderness many years: St. Paul at the feet of Gamaliel a few years. Choose your own course. Why educate? To do one's duty.--to fill one's destiny. PROP. L. S. ROSS. 0911 the measures uf illeahing Glavzar. r As it is borne in upon my spirit. one of the most pitiful things in student life is the misapprehension of the reason for reading the great Julius that certainly prevails in the academic mind. Think of the man who. ' dead and turned to clay might stop a hole to keepxthe wind away, think of that man's being finally no more than the world's schoolmaster in Latin accidence. a thing doubly absurd. because in his own life there were no accidents, This brings me to the point. too. and you who remember how unerringly Caesar venit, Caesar vidit, Caesar vicit will understand at once. Caesar was the great barbarian. Does that astound you? ls it an insult to Caesar's memory? 225 Do you wonder how we should learn grammar from a barbarian? I reiterate that it was not for instruction in grammar that Caesar wrote his commentaries. Caesar was the great barbarian, morally uninstructed, spiritually unenlight- ened, the culmination and epitome of brute force. Now, with our Browning clubs and our Christian science and our mental telepathy and our astral bodies and our various other forms and symbols of etherealization and spiritualization, we are in danger of becoming oblivious of the real world of matter in motion. You doubted the wisdom of the Latin teachers in insisting on the absolute neces- sity of your knowing that all Gaul was divided into three parts. What a host of errors we adhere to in the blind daysof our fatuous youth! Of course. knowl- edge of the tripartite division of Gaul is the hall-mark of culture. but that is in- cidental only. The wise men know that if the barbarian dies out in us wholly, we will become effete. our eyes will turn up to the undiscoverable stars all day long, and our ancestors will have to come back and feed us with spoons. Do you remember Ariovistus? You may have fancied that he was the great barbarian. If he should be discovered alive and well somewhere in our immedi- ate neighborhood today. we should both run from him, you and I. Caesar speaks of him with so much unconcern that he disarms our suspicions respecting him- self completely, but observe that Caesar wished. Caesar decided, Caesar placed the legionary soldiers-ah. well ! we need not take the trouble to translate any more, Poor Ariovistus! So you see that if you want to play foot-ball, you should begin with Latin. The great game will 'help you to be a man, it takes you back to the savage in- stincts of the race: but if you want to crash on irresistibly to the glorious pomp of fratricides, you must take instruction from Caesar. They knew how to do those things when the world was not too new and not too old, and if Professor Denny insists on your drawing subtle distinctions between quod as a pronoun and quod as a conjunction, I thinkl should yield to that little super-intellectuality of an artificial age and avoid trouble. If you will look at him carefully and, in connection with others of your instructors, will note how the spirit of the great Julius has kept him from becoming alarmingly immaterial. you will concede the probable wisdom of understanding the remarks of the man who exclaimed Et tu, Brute. in the capitol, as he understands them.

Above the college hall the great bell swings. Its tones not only sound where autumn leaves Of gold and purple rustle on the campus. Or reddening wood-bine clings in fond farewell Before the killing frost shall bare the walls. Not only here: but in the harvest fields. Above the summer breeze in waving grain. Above the sickles' stroke and falling wheat The echo sounded: sounded louder still Than stifling heart-beats, or the gates last latch. Not only here: but in the city's heart. Above the noise of hammers. wheels and bands. Above the hissing steam and engines shriek The peal resounded: ringing louder still Than clanging coin within the bankers safe. Not only here: but in the depths of earth. Above the hollow sound of miners' picks. Above the quaking blasts in beds of ore. The bell tones echoed: echoed louder still Than calling. hidden gold within the vein. And east and west and north and south the tones Were wafted through the windows of the homes. New trunks were bought. or mother's own came down From attic solitude. The baby clothes Were taken out. and new soft grown-up gowns Were neatly placed within by trembling handsg From everywhere they comefand welcome rings The bell above the halls. Butunderneath The thrill of joy an undertone resounds: The echo coming back from Hresides where The shadows half conceal the silent chair. The meadow bars another hand now lifts: The lonely garden where the thorns remain: The door that's closed to hide the emptiness. Above the calling tones that students hear An overtone of thankful memory rings. From offices where college men now toil. From bars of justice and the judges bench. From teachers chair. the pulpit and the press. From music halls where 'sweetest voices sing. 229 From quiet homes where books and art are loved. Where all recall the joys of college days. There are no other bells that mark the time. The changing time and years like college bells. They wake us to our studies. to our life- That wondrous life of holy discontent. And all that follows our ambitions, hopes And aspirations toward the highest goals. The first few days they play an introduction. Loud and strange with timid grace notes here And there, and runs and trills and tremulos. And then a melody of happiness. Soft tones of sweet content. A victory comes With swelling volume loud and proud they ring. And then the music Hows in bolder strain: Until one day there comes a discord. sharp. Surprising. saddening-many days until The harmony returns. and then the tones Are sweet once more, though dropped to minor key. But soon the echoing overtones and mellow Undertones so mildly merge and mingle In the murmur of the music till In strong triumphant sweep comes the finale. And eternal rhythmic echoes answering back Complete the symphony of college life. -Blanch Pinkerton. 'O4' We live in deeds, not words, someone has said, Words make no smoother this the path we tread. The journey is not finished yet, there still remains A life to live, a destiny that we must yet fulfill: The world has placed us in this place, and we To absolutely choose our fate are not yet free. 'PATRICK 250 A Harm. lt is not light--the long day's work. The restless hours of fevered toil That bring us co the close of day And solemn truce of life's turmoil. It is not light--to stand alone, And seldom win, and oftimes fail. And bring at last to rest at night A heart that tells no cheerful tale. It is not light to ponder o'er Some pondrous thought, and find in vain, That what is left are empty words, And tired eyes, and aching brain. lt is not light--it is not light, The restless hope and fearless fear, And yet there sounds one soft sweet tone. When day is o'er, and night is here. The consciousness is worth the toil That tells us we have done our best, Though wounded in the search for truth And disappointed in the quest. 251 PATRICK A Skrtrh. Old Gene Navarre's cottage shrank back from the street. Its windows, with the tiny panes, peeped like modest eyes from beneath the tangle of vines, that twisted and curled around the eves and over the porch, and even sent inquisitive little creepers under the loosened weather boarding. The old porch had long ceased to be merely a shelter from the sun and rain. and now appeared a shady' bower. dark and cool. When one came through the old garden. with its mass of honey-suckle and roses, and stopped before this leafy door. it almost seemed as if some fair sprite of flower-land, or some wild wood nymph must look with startled face from out some shadowy corner. If Nannette's laughing face and sun-beaming head greeted you, the fancy seemed fulfilled. Nannette and the roses were old Gene's joy and pride. and he often declaredz- ' Them posies nearly hurt themselves a-tryin' to keep Nanny from lookin' purtier than they do. . Then Nannette would laugh and pull his grizzled beard. or twist a fiower in his thin old hair, and fiit away. That laugh would leave him dreaming of the gay. eliish girl. Nannette's mother. who. so many years ago. had come with him from France. But Marie had eyes that were blue as the skies. and as deep. Nan's were dark as night and deeper. Sometimes he wondered if Nan. too. would slip away and leave him living with memory. But then she had no friends far away, no country,--no France to long for. till the heart grew too tired even to long. He wondered. too. a little sadly. why his love had not been enough to keep Marie here. Her love could have kept him anywhere. Nannette had stayed on and had grown up with the flowers. She loved them, for they were a part of her life. Nor could she remember a time when they were not all about her. She called them her good-fairies. for she often said: -- You help me find my friends and keep them. And though I send you away your spirits always come back and stay with me. She liked to imagine that the old garden was filled with the old fiower-spirits. and that they hovered around the cottage and herself. She told no one herfancy, unless it was her father. or Bob. She and Bob had played together as children. He had carried her books to school when they were older. He had helped to carry her fiowers on their vari- ous missions, and had not laughed at her fancy. Sometimes he almost believed it himself. Then he had gone away to college, and had come back a man, forget- ting that five years had been added to Nannette's fifteen. He expected to help her with her flowers.--when he had timefrand to hear her talk to them. Q52 One day in the springtime.he came quietly down the garden walk. and leaped across a low rose hedge. Then his heart gave a strange start, for besides Nan- nette's gay laugh. came another that somehow brought back a picture of the old campus at college. A moment later came a mingled cry of.-- Beth! Bob! Nannette wondered why she held the roses so tightly when she heard that gladness in their voices, or was it the pain in her hands that made her feel so strangely? ' The June days followed. and old Gene declared that his roses scarcely had time to smile in the old garden before Nannette had sent them away. Nan answered that the rose-spirits would return all the sooner if they smiled for some one who needed them. And surely a host of flower-spirits must have come trooping back from that big house where Beth was staying. Beth always won- dered why Nan was so lavish with her favorites. and always sent them first. But Nan only knew that those pink flowers looked so much pinker when she held them up to her own face. and she would not have her father see. Old Gene found himself thinking oftener of Marie when Nannette laughed. One day Beth found him looking at a fair, blue-eyed picture. and he told her of Nan's mother. And my Nanny looks just that way when she thinks l'm not a-lookin'. She's a-longin' for something me and my posies can't give her. And some day she'll leave me just a longin' too. A-longin' for something me and my posies can't give her. Then suddenly Beth knew. Pk at va wk as vi: :ic vi: Where go the flowers this morning. Nannette? 'To Bethl' You wake too late. fair lady. Beth has grown weary of our quiet village and has gone to her people. Give me the flowers. instead. Nannettef' Then it seemed that the pink roses had grown paler. CG. Eurvica MEERS.

The king was six months old when the royal mother was, called away from the court. and left the royal pages in' charge of the king. When the queen-mother departed. the pages resolved that. for one day. the king should be pleased. For about an hour the king sat contentedly and chewed a rubber rattle-box. Then he began to fret. Thereupon the whole court came together to consider what it might be that would please the king. Finally.at the suggestion of the first royal page.the king was placed upon the great throne, with the royal robes spread all around. and the golden sceptre was placed in his hand. Dazed but for a moment by this royal splendor. the king began to wail dismally and chew his fists. Another consultation was held. Then all the armies of the king were summoned and marched past in solemn state for inspection by the king. A magnificent array it was, but the gleaming steel seemed to hurt the king's eyes. and he cried louder than ever. Finding that this effort had been in vain. the pages then brought all the treasures of the kingdom. the silver. the gold. the jewels and precious stones. but the king would not even look at them and equalled with renewed vigor. Finally a court fool ventured to remark. iVlaybe he's hungry. The fool was immediately taken out and beheaded. but later the pages acted upon the suggestion. They ordered a splendid banquet and set it before the king. The courses were seven lwhich is a perfect numberi. lt was the most sumptuous feast ever held in the palace. The king howled. and the banquet was removed. Not yet disheartened. the pages sent for all the most beautiful maidens of the realm, and brought them before the king. that he might make choice. The king would have none of them. and the walls of the royal pal- ace reverberated with his discontented wailing. The pages wake in deep perplexity when suddenly the situation was relieved by the return of the queen-mother. She listened in silence as the pages told the story of their sad perplexity. Then she said: ' Why didrft you give him his nursing bottle? al. G. P. N We were seated in a hammock. lt was some time after dark. And the silence grew lovely After each subdued remark: With her head upon my shoulder. And my arms around her close: Soon I whispered. growing bolder. Do you love me darling Rose? Were her accents low to equal. All my heart had dared to hope: Ah! l never knew the sequel. For her brother cut the rope. A-Selected. 241 Epiznhra in gr Blifr nf gr illlluutarhin. Oh, there once was a doctor. And that doctor was so rash As to harbor the delusion He could raise a fine mustache. So he coaxed itfand petted it. And tended well each row: But in spite of all his efforts That mustache just wouldn't grow! Then a noble Senior tried it- Having nothing else to do- And a Freshie took the notion He would be a big man. too. But though fond expectations Loomed up big before their eyes, All in vain their ardent longings: Fate decreed it otherwise. Then another lordly Senior Up and entered in the game: And the wonder he accomplished Sure it put them all to shame. For his labial appendage Waxed most beautiful and strong: 1 assure you it is really Quite two millimeters long. Oh, Monilaw. we're sorry. But you know it couldn't be: u And Jackman and Sleeper. We extend our sympathy. But Chapman, though to see you Stroke it once is worth a dime, 'Tis a bother: we can't carry Our spyglasses all the time! Nl.
