The last three years have marked such a rapid progress in Earlham that I had to get a brand new dress, the old one having become out of date. It had to be made much larger also to keep up with my growth. I thought that I would never be brought out before com- pany again but the Junior Class, which is composed of people who do things, wanted a souvenir of their college da s so they began to get me ready for my second debut . They didn ' t make a big noise about it but put their fingers on the Earlham pulse and found it also to throb with a desire for my reappear- ance. So great was the demand of former Earlhamites to see me that requests came, not only from all parts of the United States, but even from England, Norway, Japan and the Philippines. IMy foster-parents have now established a precedent and I am sure that the fashions will sufficiently change for the Junior classes to bring me out in a new frock everv two years. They got me ready in the time formerly labeled leisure , sleeping hours , parlor-nights . — yea, and even meal times . My new dress is made in the same general style as it was before, that I may acquire a distinctive Earlham appearance as I grow older. But you will find me replete with original and peculiar frills and ruffles. I am not altogether satisfied with myself and I can scarcely hope to please every one in every particular, but I ask that you suspend hasty judgment of me and to be charitable toward me. M ' mission is to portray Earlham as it is today — with all its joys and pleasures — ; to awaken in the hearts of all true Earl- hamites, sweet memories of their Alma Mater; to reflect credit and to shed glory upon our dear old Earlham wherever I may go. Thus have m) ' foster-parents sent me on my mission ; thus I extend my warmest greeting: and may our love grow stronger as we become better acquainted.

Earlhdm College Semicentennial Conspectus TdiNT (II- ii;w l l)i, can a just estimate lie made t the wuith, vitality and tendencies of an insti- tution, as complex and as important in its functions, as a colleg-e, until a point in its life has heen reached, at which a retrospect of con- siderable breadth is attainable. Fifty years of a college-public will show three human generations, in such relation to one another and in such manifestation of qualities and tendencies, as to afford a fairly satisfactory basis, upon which to reckon worth and vitality. The first generation will still be objectively present, at its work, except the forward fringe of it, which has been melting away long enough to show something of the finish, it is making ; the second will be in the first lustrum of its chosen and established work ; while the third will be swarming over the walls of child- hood, showing its life and qualities to everv one. THE UKHv FORWARDS Earlham College is one, probably the most distinguished one, of the spiritual children of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends. Early in the decade of 1830, this great body of religious people foimd by its annual reports that there were in its families between 6,000 and 7,000 children, of whom two-thirds were more or less deprived of the guarded religious education that has been the ideal of this church, ever since the days of its founder. It is true they had at the time the best private schools of the country, for they always planted those twin civilizers, the school house and the meeting house, among the first things they did, in every settlement they made. But the immigration from Caro- lina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Xew England had poured their families into the new country so rapidly that their Monthly Meeting Schools were incompetent to educate the children. There were not enough schools: there were not enough ((ualificd teachers for the schools that were. It was at this time. also, that a new voice was heard crying in that wilck-rncss: Give us a more advanced education, give us the means of culture, a chance at the refinements I ' f lite. When this voice of Jnhn the llaptist is heard crying in any wilderness, it is time for the governors to listen ; a new light has appeared, a new thirst has come, a new civilization is dawning, and the old regime and the old means will not suffice for it. Thus the idea for a higher, central institution of learning was born with the necessity for it, — the idea of a set of dormitories, class- rooms, study-rooms, laboratories, libraries ; the idea of a set of instructors of thorough education, wide knowledge, technical skill, inspiring. Christian character; the idea of an institution Tut (JLI) l ' ,n. l;l)l.M. Si IH that should be a home, where the youth nf the church might go. wear off their rusticity, lose their bail habits, develop their facul- ties, and return to be promoters of true work and true life in their respective localities. This idea of Indiana Yearly [Meeting to establish a central institution of learning at Richmond was nearly thirty years in developing and materializing in a college equipment. It assumed, very naturally, as a first fnrm, the idea of a hoarding school, after the manner of Ilavcrford, Westtown, and Providence, through which l- ' ricnds, east of die Alleghenies, had been succeeding so well in educating their children. The land for the site of the contemplated boarding school was a generous purchase. Want of money for the buildings was the delaying circumstance. All through the decade of ' 30 and the early years of ' 40. contribu- tions were coming in from friends of the [Meeting, from friends of the enter])rise in the eastern States, and from En- gland. Ireland and France, but universally in small amounts, so that the accoimts of the managing board always read — Hills payable. One wonders what kept that board in heart. They were staunch men. they belieyed in their cause, they l)elie e I in the meeting that stood back of them, they believed in the good Providence that over-shadowed the meeting. Perhajis, some of them knew the story of the founding of Tlarvard College and took courage from it, — how it was a people ' s enterprise, as theirs was ; how every one contributed, but no one much. Was the wilderness speaking unto wilderness? Were the words of Massachusetts tellino- the story of faith to the woods of Indiana and Ohio? Whether these heroes knew the story of Harvard, or anv- thing of the philosophy of the growth of great and complex or- ganisms, or not, one can hardly doubt that they knew it is more blessed to give than to re- ceive, and took high pleasure in sacrificing themselves for their children ' s children, see- ing them in their future cul- ture and refinement, as we are seeing them in their present. No other construction will ac- count for those years. In 1847, when the west wing of Earlham Hall was completed, the boarding school was formally opened and In- diana Yearly Aleeting entered upon its work of higher edu- cation. The next step came in 1852 in the creation of an un- dying board of management for the institution, Twelve men and twelve women, divided into relays, the terms of service of which terminated in one, two, and three years, respectively. This board was the first abiding, organic unit of E arlham College. By virtue of its continuity in member- ship it came to see the logical outcome of the enteqirise that had been undertaken, and to direct its attention to the permanent features rather than the passing. Seven years later, the logical consequence transpired in the passing of the boarding school into the wider privileges and higher functions of the college. Out- wardly there was not much difference for some vears. Consti- tutionally there was a stability acquired, an honorable station, and a chance for unlimited growth. It was still a college in posse rather than in esse. Its chief asset was still faith, the sub- stance of things hoped for, rather than the things themselves. It had one substantial building; rudimentarv chemical and phys- ical laboratories, a few books, a small collection of minerals and fossils — a materia! equipment, very meager : simply a nucleus, a locality, a kind of Mark Hopkins ' log . But it had the spirit of Mark Hopkins at the faculty end of it and the spirit of the Mark Hopkins student at the student end of it. and therefore it was well founded as a college. THE LOOK B- CKW. RDS.  It would be impossible to enumerate the beneficiaries of the founding of a college. The} ' midtiply rapidly and they soon scatter over the world and into every honorable busi- ness and profession. The_ ' are not only the Alumni and body of students that have been in immediate contact widi the institu- tion and their children and children ' s children without limit, but. also, all those whose lives are touched by the light of the institution and its ideals reflected from the multiplying cen- ters established by the radiation of its influence. A college is not only a city set on a hill, which can not be hid, but a dif- fusing color, tinting the total of things, a musical tone, echoing Ihriiugh the wIkiIc coniposilinii and cnricliiiiy the harmony. witli its i i ' duth. licyoi Looking- Iwck over Earlham Colleije frmn this, its liftieth state and ennntrynien. anniversary, we can see more clearly than ever hel ' ore, what it is, in , and amither and an l appreciate more fidly what Stednian said uf the fuimding of sticli institutions: Whenever an educational foundation is estab- lished for the study of elemental matters — of scientific truth or human ideality — we return to the primary motive for educa- tion. The founders would restore a balance between arbi- trar - and fundamental education. The resulting; gain is not the overflow of collegiate resources, not the lu.xury of learning, not decoration, but the enhanced use, +.. jov, and worth of existence. such institutions are a fresh search for the verities, the inmo.st truth of things, inevitable in that they are the means for man ' s ad- vancement and for the conduct of life. F,. ce|)t in a conspectus of some kind, in which the later years of the college are seen against the earlier, one is not apt to see the enlargement of life and the uplift that have come from it. It was founded in a love of truth, and in its later years it loves iiipiiies it — not less, but seeks it more widely, and finds it more al)imdant- olence tl ly, in fields hardly known to its founders. It was founded on a h arlhaii love of church, and it has not departed from it, but the idea of uttered. church has widened with widening knowledge, and the brethren are rapidly becoming all men. It was founded on the fear of ( lod. and there it abides, steadfast, but the fear is less austere, more reverent, f.asi softening into a deep and comforting love. It was foundeil on s ni])athv and fellowship, and they have grown d the narrow lionndaries of clinreh ;ind The sentiment against war is still grow- a wider is springing u]) beside it. Per- haps the founders thought that the world was made for man — its forests, its flowers, its fruits, its animals, its birds, its fishes — all for man, alone, principally. If so, in the planting of Earlham they planted even better than they knew. That narrow and selfish conception is fast passing with the increasing light and the increas- ing appreciation of the cosmos of all things. When we look back over the fort -si.x colle.ge-.generations, the fifteen thousand to twenty thou- sand students, the eight hundred and more . lumni and . lumnje — lights — which the college has al- ready sent out, and find hardly an individual that has goin- wrong; and remember that a large |)ropor- tion of those lights have set up light plants of their own — on the Pacific Coast, in Mexico, in our eastern cities, in the .South and the Xorth, in the West Indies and the b ' ast Indies, in China, Japan, -Africa. Hawaii, the Phil- er their light shines their bencv- . lask, -and that wberi iws to all things both great and small. we can .see that is indi-ed an instance of the great tnUb that .Stednian ( r, in Whittier ' s terms: Nnt vainly tlic gift uf it-, f.uinclcrs «av iiunle ; Noi Praycrless the slmics of iis o.rreis were lai.l : Tlir l lessiii.. s ,,f Hill, wlii.ni in M-crct they souglil I Lis ..kiumI llu- K nil ..rl that tlic fathers have wionglit Wm N.

Historical Sketch ITUATED on a tract of land of one Innidred and twenty acres, adjoining the western limits of the city of Rich- mond and overlooking the city and picturesque valley of the Whitewater River, is an institution which reaches, this year, the fiftieth anniversary of its history as a college and the sixty-second as an educational institu- tion. Plans for sucli an institution were begun as far back as the early thirties and by 1837 were well under way. Like the beginnings of all great movements, the progress was slow JK . and it was 1847 before the doors were thrown open for students. From the start, both sexes were admitted w ' ithout restriction or reserva- tion. The school was maintained as a board- ing school of advanced grade until 18. 9 when it was organized as Earlham College. Among the early contributors to the endowment of the col- lege was a prominent English banker, bv the name of T iseph John Gurney, a highly educated man and a prominent minister among Friends. His timely gift was later supplemented by a larger one which was contributed bv his widow and the college was given its name from Earlham ITall , the ancestral seat of the Gurneys, at Norfolk, England. The earliest officers and teachers of Earlham were largely men and women from New England, whose refinement, force of character and scholarship gave it from its beginning an enviable reputation throughout the Ohio valley ; a reputation which it has consistently -iiiai itained for half a century. Earlham College enjoys the distinction not only of being one of the first co-educational institutions in America, but of having been one of the foremost institutions in the West in pro- moting the advanced practical study of science. As early as 18.-i3, it took the lead in Indiana along the lines of Natural History, by starting a collection of materials for the study of Geology, Miiicralotjy, I ' .iology. ArcliC(ilog . and kindred hranclKS. Its present museum, tlie uutyrowth (it tliat Ix-j finning-. exceeds in co:ii])letencss and value must cither Cdlleetiuns in the colleges and imiversities of the Middle West, . biint the same date, the first astroniimical dhservatdry in tile state was estabHshed (in the campus. Here. also, the first chemical laboratory in Indiana, for the use of college students, was equip])ed, and. as an out- growth from this. Earlham has today five well-equipped scientific laboratories. Earlham llall was the scene of all the activities of the col- le.ye life until 18S7. Then the C(.irner stones of two new build- ings were laid and the following year saw the Cfjmpletion of Lindley .Memorial Hall and Parry Science llall. The history of these has been given in a ])revious number of the Sakg. sso, and need not be given here. The two new buildings provided com- modious class rooms and laboratories and gave room for a chapel, a museum, society halls, offices and the like. To Earlham Hall was left the home life of the college. Keeping pace with a general broader movement in the col- lege world, new interests were taken up and Earlham ' s influence was rapidly widened. The new claims of athletics were met by the building of a gymnasium, and. a little later, by the laying out of an excellent athletic field. The year 1907 marked another step in the material progress of the institution. To meet the demand for home life on the cam]jus which had grown out of increased attendance, provision was luade for the building of a men ' s dormitory, known as the Edwiti S, Rundv Memorial Hall. This is one of the best equipped dormitories in the Middle West and olifers accommodations for about one hundred young men. The hall was made possible by a gift of Mr. and ?vlrs. Zcnas L. riimdy, of Greenfield, in memory of their deceased son, who was a foriuer Earlham student. The building is of red brick trinuued with stone and its architecture is based on that of l ' .arlham llall. The interior is arranged on Observatory, 1854 BcxDV Hall, 1907 Library, 1907 Parry Hall, 1887 Earlham Hall, 1854 LiNULEv Hall. 1887 Obsehvatory, 1854 the most approved modern plan and with a view to both health and beauty. The parlors and association rooms are convenient and attractive and the men ' s rooms, most of which are in suites of three rooms to ever_ ' two men, obviously offer many a dvan- tages for both social and individual needs. . Library building was also made possible b ' Andrew Car- negie ' s generous gift of thirty thousand dollars to which eight thousand dollars was added by the college. This building, which was officially opened in December, 1907, stands just across the main drive-way from Lindley Hall. One enters the building from the west through a wide hall, on the left of which the stair- way ascends. The large reading and reference room is on the first floor, with eight departmental alcoves around its outer curve and with stacks for books which have an ultimate capacity of sixty thousand volumes. There are also rooms for offices, con- versation and cataloging. On the second floor are four seminar ' :■ B - Ik 9 Ll y ij il- ' llijR6«iH« i 1 i vg; ■ ' iii iBi .._ rooms. Here, too, is a room designated as an . rt Room and intended for the reception of rare treasures of books as well as pictures. On the north is a large room, used by the Library Summer School of the Public Library Commission and a smaller room has been set aside for the Reference I ibrary of Indiana Yearly Meeting. The new buildings necessitated ini])rovement in the heating svstem of the college and in 1908 the central heating plant was added to the list of new equipments. From it a vacuum system of heating was extended to all the college buildings. This system represents an expenditure of seventeen thousand dollars. The whole group of buildings, situated on a campus of forty acres, delightfully shaded by native forest trees and tastefully laid out in walks and drives, is an asset of which all friends of tlie college may rightfully be proud. During the last three years the development of the college along all lines has been unprecedented. The departments of I ' liNsics and Chemistry have been separated into two, with a professor at the head of each ; the departments of English and r.iologv liave each been given regularly appointed assistants; a physical director has been appointed for the college year. ' I ' liongh lUindy Mall has been occu]jied only one year previous tip this, the applications for rooms have exceeded the supply of tluni and there has been a waiting list all year. The college dining ball, also, has reached its present capacity. The Indiana Public Lil)rar Oimniission ilecifled, one year ago, to establish its library school here because of the various ad- vantages offered by Earlbam. L ' nder the new educational law of Indiana, the college has been accredited by the State Teachers ' Training Board and this has led to extensive expansion in the department of I ' hilosophy and Educatifin. The Summer School has had a steadily increasing atten lance and reached the highest enrollment on record in l ' l()8. Tlie total attendance of the college for the present year is estimated at aliout six himdred students. nuring the Jiast three years, the endowment funds of the college have been increased by eighty-five thousand dollars, which brings the total endowment up to three hundred and forty thou- sand dollars. . n additional gift is estimated at ten thousand and the working plant at three hundred and fifty thousand. Earlbam is a ty])ieal college as contrasted with a university. Its requirements for the Uachelor ' s Degree are equivalent to those in the leading universities in America but its work is concentrated upon undergraduate courses. It is able, therefore, to oflfer college training of an exceptionally high grade, under conditions more favorable than are found in overcrowded in.stitutions of complex organization. I ' jjon the coni])letion of the college course. Earl- ham consistently encourages its graduates to prosecute their work for advanced or professional degrees in such universities as oflfer the best advantages in their chosen lines. liy this method an ex- ceptionally high degree of efficiency is secured in both undergrad- uate and graduate study. The wisdom of this policy is abundant- ly justified by the large number of Earlham graduates who, from ear to ear, pursue advanced work in the leading universities of tliis countrx with distinction to themselves and their .

Modgin lUUGUArmCAI, SKliTCII Prof. Cyrus W. Iludnin was born Ft-bruary 12, 184J, and bfgaii teacbiiig in ly ' jl. in lladlcy ' s i ' rivate Academy in Rich- mond, Ind. ' Ibis was followed b ' a year in tbo puljlic schools in Randolph County, after which be taught for tliree _ ' ears in the public schools in Henry County. He graduated from the Illinois State Normal L ' niversity in 1867. The year 1868-69 was spent as principal of the Richmond High School. He was pro- fessor of history in the Indiana State Xornial School 1872-1881. He was superintendent of the Rushville (Ind.) City Schools 1882-1883. He came to Richmond, Indiana, as principal of the Richmond Normal School in 1883 and continued until 1887, when he accepted the position of professor of history and political economy in Earlham College, Richmond, Ind., which position he has held to the present year. He was on a leave of absence 1892-1893 pursuing graduate work in the University of Chicago. He has lectured a great deal on educational topics, temperance, peace and arbitration. He has done a great deal of work in teachers ' county institutes, and during the years 1896-98 be was in charge of the history work of the Chautauqua Correspondence School. . s an antbiir, in 1880, he published . n ( )utline of a Course of .Study in Inited .States History ; in 18 ' )I, as a supplement to Dole ' s . nierican Citizen, Outline of Civil Government in Indi- ana : 1893, Indiana and the Nation ; 1893, A Study of the .- merican Commonwealth , joint editor with Prof. Woodburn ; 1897. Sketch of the History of Indiana , for the Indiana edition of Lossing ' s F,ncycIo|).-edia of United States History: and about two years ago a ketcll of the History of Indiana for the Indiana edition of Redway ' s Lnited States History. AN Al ' PkECIATION c think of him first as a teacher. Teaching was his chief work, and his first regret when he healized that death was near, was that be was not to be permitted to fill out a half century in the school room. He was himself a conscientious scholar who at- tained knowledge by painstaking labor ; and was not tempted to that impatience with plodding minds which often unfits brilliant men to lead others to knowledge. He bad an unfailing enthusi- asm in his work. He did not shrink from the drudgery of ad- ministrative details: a schedule of recitations or examinations wlieii it came from him was a work of art, and the routine ex- amination of theses and quizzes was done with unfailing thor- oughness. When he read Blessed be drudger to us in chapel, it fell on our ears as a ])hilosophy of life. He had a quiet cheer- fulness and enthusiasm that was medicine to the sold. To him a truth never lost value because it was old, nor did be change his courses of study or forsake his friends for the sake of novelty. 1 le took a personal interest in his .students and felt an unfailing joy when he led one to see the meaning- and laws of human historx ' and to catch a glimpse of its divine goal. If he erred in his deal- ings with his students, it was through over-confidence in their sin- cerity and integrity ; but I feel sure none ever took advantage of his faith, who did not feel the nieannos of baying betrayed a sacred trust. I do not now recall a single scholar of national eminence that he trained, but in nearly every community where I go I find men and W ' men who speak with enthusiasm of the love of truth and the transfiguration of life ' s common tasks that came to them when Cyrus Plodgin was their teacher. Prof. Hodgin was in all things a practical idealist. He called himself a iiicliorist: a pessimist as to present comlitions but an optimist as to possibilities. His idealism did not make him lose touch with the common things. He was not blind to earth ' s wrongs and men ' s sins of life. I le knew how far awaj- the vision was and patiently followed the windings of the only paths to it. He was, until a year ago, president of the Peace Association of Friends in America and one (if the founders of the Intercollegiate Peace Association. He wa a member of the peace and temperance committees of Indiana Yearly Aleeting and chairman of the Wayne County Prohibition Central Committee. He was chairman of the Wayne County Historical Society and a prominent member of the State Historical Society. He knew the prohibition of the liquor traffic must wait on public conviction and hence agitated the ques- tion. He believed in world peace but knew it could only come with justice. He believed in free trade among nations, in co- operation in industry, in Christian socialism as the final form of human society ; but he knew these could only come as the spirit of Christ brought righteousness and brotherhood to the hearts of men. His religious faith was sincere and simple; his trust in the love and goodness of God, deep and abiding. The sufferings and loneliness of his last year only strengthened it. In theologv he was tolerant and progressive. In days when doctrine and emo- tional experiences filled the pulpits he was a preacher of personal, civic and social righteousness. The church ' s recognition of his gift came tardily, but a few years ago he was recorded a minister of the gospel. This, and more, is the man we knew and loved. — the practical idealist, devoted patriot, true friend, painstaking scholar, en- thusiastic teacher, preacher of righteousness. Our best expression of gratitude shall be our lives wliich show that he did not live, love and labor for us in vain. Elbert Russrll. Tlie Comrade in the Dome In Memori.vm Prof. Cvri ' s W. Hodgin ( Sometimes, in the silence of the night-time, one may hear the tiny hanmierings of the comrades at work up in the dome — the com- rades that have climbed ahead. — Charles Rutin Ki-niu-dy.) .And .so, today, with listening ear. Beneath the crystal dome we stand And seem, from far aloft, to hear The joyous hammerings of his hand. There where the heavenly arches go To crown the living dome of love. This one, so loving here below, Is given his gracious task above. ' ' ith golden rivets, beam to beam. And arch to arch, he welds in place : The while a happy smile doth seem Like sunshine to illume his face. His angel helpers seem to know The jov-light of that radiant mien, . nd bend with him a look below To earth ' s familiar home and scene. They know, what we are slow to see. That death is no dividing bar : That now as never they can be With us though still on earth we are. They know that over there, as here, Thev still may work for those they love : nd watching o ' er earth ' s comrades dear. Prepare for them the home above. —Clarence Mills Biirkholdcr.

Prexy, our fox-colored, verbose friend, presides over the Earlham carpet and woe to the one who must walk it. He got his red hair while harvesting sandburs in Parke Coun- ty ; he lost it trying to graft some ideas on to scrub stock. His verbosity he acquired while mastering Philosophy and through some mistake it still clings to him. This man has done much to beautify Earlham. Besides the buildings and other small things completed, a delightful gravel walk has been laid out between his back yard and the serpentine. It was not missed before it was built, but now that the idea has been conceived and worked out by the artist, it has become so firmly connected with the campus that we must treasure it. Of course, it is not used, the plain ground works better: that isn ' t the point, it ' s the underlying desire to beautify the campus that we admire. Now college presidents are usually knocked to a certain extent, but we are not going to do that. Casting all jokes aside , as he invariably says in chapel, we love, respect and admire the man. He has brought the college up to its present high standard, and is amply fitted to kee]3 it there. He has an eye for details, which accounts for the lack of friction in the college steam roller. Then. too. he is a friend to the individual student. J. Herschel Coffin, B.S., A.M., Ph.D. kNELL) I ' m. Ki- ll- I ' lIII.dSlll ' HY AND EdL ' CATIUN.

Wise men ask iiii:stii Far back in the dim ages somewhere men wore away their lives arguing ques- tions. sHch as. How man - angels could dance on the point of a needle? Is there such a thing as mo- tion, as permanence, as space, as being? Does an arrow, flying through space, move? Could Achilles ever catch up with the tortoise? The famous ])hilosopher, Zeno, argued that Achilles never could overtake the tortoise because, while he was reaching what at any moment was the starting point of the tortoise, it would have gained a certain amount of ground and thus, forever keep ahead. Such ex- amples are merely evidences of man ' s love of, and search for knowledge and truth, and they exist today as stronglv as they did in those da}S when truth, as known to us, was obscure and hidden. Along with the change and advance of civilization has come change and advance in ideas. P.ut the problem of the Department of I ' hilosophv is not alone tlie attempt to solve metaphysical questions which the world has always debated. It recognizes them, in that thev hel]) to make up the history of civilization. It recognizes truths, nut merely as cold truths, but as they have been brought into connection with the current of our own experience and knowledge ; for the mere existence of a truth is nothing. The department does not lose sight of the real meaning of philosophical problems, but at the same time sees the need of relating them to life as we know it. ISy acquainting us with the beliefs, hopes, and aspirations of the ages before us. philosophy aims to help us see life clearly and wholly. Finally it recognizes and admits its own limitations and shows the necessity of a steadfast abiding faith in that which is far beyond the realm of cold reason. The elements of philosophy and education mav seem to be incongruous, but they are easily reconciled. The ultimate end of philosophy is to see life in its entirety, bv means of the history and achievements of civilization. That of education is the same. Education has long ceased to be identical with mere instruction, but is identical with life itself, for as long as life lasts and our impressionability remains, we are always adapting ourselves to our surroundings, and acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world.

If you are of a practical turn and want to see it at work, go into the Library and pick out the one who breaks ten rules every six minutes ; to be sure there is no mi.stake, sec if he has his hat on and is talkin.c in that far-awav tone. Don ' t speak to him, he is too busy. There has been a terrible change in him though in the last year. He ' s joined the Young- Married Men ' s Club and eats three square meals a day. Those who know him best say he used to eat twelve dates for breakfast, an historic egg for dinner, and would spend the su]ipcr Imur gloating over his free state.

' Hislorv I teacher I icf ' cats himself. From Professor Lindley we learn that the fundamental object of the de- ]iartment is not only to give historical knowledge and training, but also to serve as the basis for professional training in law, journalism, government service, and general business activity, and primarily lo prepare for good, capable citizenship. However, judging from reports, some people have differed from him in the past car, and have thought that the depart- ment was here for the purpose of fur- nishing a few snap courses and dealing out A ' s and credits free of charge. But two weeks ' treatment always arrests fur- ther progress of this delusion, and a term ' s treatment effectively cures it for all time to come. Another thing we learn from a term ' s consistent work in any of the four subjects embraced in this department — History, Economics, Government and Sociologv — is the great practical value of the course. No matter wdiat one ' s calling in life may be, whether doctor, lawyer, merchant, or chief, his training is in- complete without a general knowledge, at least, of the subjects mentioned above. The mere fact that Cfesar once crossed the Rubicon, that Xapoleon met defeat at Waterloo, or tliat tlie American Fathers drew up a Declaration of Independence are of little interest to the average person. But the motives working back of those events, and the results produced by them are of the greatest importance to every one if we are to jiroperlv interpret the present and prophesy as to the future. One of the chief phases that has contributed to the success of the department and to the students ' distress of mind is the collateral or outside reading. The task of wading through the flood of assigned readings that are poured out vipon us seems hard at times, but if the work is consistently done the benefits derived are worth much more than the effort. If there is any one thing that is characteristic of the History dc]5artnient it is the ever-present, unavoidable term thesis. We all remember vividly how the awfulness of the task seems to increase as we put it off from day to day, until, with only one week left and the thesis not begun, it looms up as an insur- mountable barri er to our getting a credit. But, oh, what a self- satisfied feeling comes over us as we finish the last page and put it up in neat form, ready to stand as one of the world ' s great masterpieces of literature. However, many of us derive more ]3leasure and real benefit from the thesis work than from all the other work in the course put together. Cleveland King Chase, A.B., A.M. Latix Laxct LriKi TiKi;.

Small Latin and less Greek? Kay, rather, less Latin and least Greek ! This is what the student in an- cient languages possesses when he first enters upon the collegiate stage of his classical journey. How much he thinks he knows in these departments of education at the beginning of the year ! How little he knows he knows at the end of that year ! It is not because the study of the Humanities is especially difficult that the student comes to this definite bit of knowledge ; but we must say that there is no course in the college curriculum which is so liable to change the great primer I to the little i of brilliant or diamond size. There is no study which takes the wind out of a fellow ' s sails so quickly as the study of the Latin and Greek tongues. . nd et, with all this trimming, so to speak, the all round instruction obtained in the Latin Department is certainly com- pensative for the efifort expended, . fter a four years ' course one is almost fitted to become the rich man. poor man. beggar man, thief, doctor, etc., etc., adding farmer at the end of the list. The records of Roman philosophy, society, and private life are studied, giving one an insight into the life of the good old times. On the other hand, the practical benefit of this course may be expressed in the words of a scholar i ?). It learns us to talk correct . Professor Chase takes us in hand when we are barely out of the amo. amas, amat stage of our mental training (to say nothing of our social side), and when we find difiiculty in telling an ablative absolute from a genitive of possession. To produce any effect upon the member of a Frchman Latin class demands that a professor must be long .suflfering and kind , which qual- ities are possessed by the present occupant of the chair in Latin. - nd, judging from the results of his teaching, his work is not in vain. In the Greek Department, there are also points of interest. Of course it is expected that those curlicues are all Greek to the beginner, yet those of the advanced class abo find them all Greek at times. They say, one must get the jingle to fully appreciate Greek, but it seems as though the bats will inhabit our belfrys before the chimes are installed. They also say that with a thorough knowledge of the Greek verb, the language be- comes easy. Possibly so. During Professor Kaminski ' s abfence. Professor Kenworthy has been doing the gesticulatory enunci- ation stunts and has proven ver - energetic and efficient. In fact, the departments of Latin and Greek under the head- ing of . ncient Languages, are most important at Earlham. It is a well known fact that students in these courses are inferior to none when Greek meets Greek , and Roman meets Roman. Pk()1-i:ss(iu (IF GicRM.w wd Ai TiM;-ri-!iiFi:ssiiR iif Fuenxii.

Two years ' work in lan- guage is required of ever ' student, says the catalog — and it ought to know — so the great majority of the Earl- ham boys and girls, being naturally too wide awake to care for the dead languages, plods, struggles, slips, slides, flounders its way through two years of German, or one each of German and French (a few even trying Spanish), and heaves a sigh of relief when it hears the last Ach or Dien and tearlessly says Leb ' Wohl or Au Revoir to the Hermann and Dorothea or Fraser and Squair . But they give it up too soon. The point where they stop is the place where the real enjoyment begins. Tell and Colomba are but fore- shadowings of the future delights of Goethe , Schiller . Lani- artine , Hugo , and Daudet . For there be people freakish enough to aver that there is pleasure to be derived from the study of language and for them the whole four years of German, two of French and one of Spanish are full of pleasure. In German, the first year is mostly grammar and composi- tion — don ' t ' 0U remember those Monday mornings? — with some sliort stories and that charming little tale of Immensee . Good old ' ilhelm Tell , iNIinna von Barnhelm , anil Hermann and Dorothea are the mile stones of the second year. Shorter and more modern works are also read, while composition and con- versation claim two days per week. The advanced work is not divided strictly into third and fourth year periods but the stu- dents are allowed to take whatever work they are able to carry. The German Club is an excellent supplement to the advanced work. In French, two years are offered. In the first, reading is begun early and much is done throughout the ear. The work of the second year alternates between a study of the masterpieces of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the romantic novel, making French really a three year course. The Morrisson- Reeves Library has an excellent collection of French fiction. Those who wander into the Spanish classes enjoy their work, though those verbs ought to be reformed. Onh- one ' ear is given, but besides a thorough grounding in the grammar of the language, several works are read, such as El Capitan ' cneno . A ' ictoria . etc. .And with all this reading and composition. (|uizzes that are unexpected, exams — expected but unprepared for. and the graz- ing in pastures of library reading, we manage to survive and take an interest in things around us.

His familiar any discussion after every point made will be long remembered. He does not believe in taking the text-book as a law of the Meades and Persians , but is an advocate of independent thought. He is a farmer of no mean repute, a poet nf marked ability, and incidentally the only Democratic member of the faculty. Ei.iit:KT Ri-s.si:i l.

Our department of English was established during the first wave of the ever-increasing movement which has brought the study of English to its rightful place beside the classics. A pioneer of the movement and the pi- oneer in our own college was William X. Trueblood. who was chosen in 1875 to create such a department in order that the undeveloped state of liter- ature and literary art might be im- proved. In those days the courses were few and of an elementary nature, but, little by little, the department has grown until at present there are twenty-one courses in literature, literarv art and the English language. Special emphasis is placed upon experi- mental work. We now have class rooms sufficiently large to accommodate the largest classes but the need at present is for more professors. During the past year, Anna M. Moore has been a great strength to the department and we regret to lose her. It will be difficult to secure a successor as competent. This department has had a g oodly share of graduates and there are nine out of the fifty members of the present class who will receive degrees from the English Department. With the - merican ideals and especially in a locality such as ours, where the .volid practical plays so important a part, the value of this department cannot be overestimated. In its thirty- five years of service, how many a man has received his first aesthetic awakening in one of these Englifh classes and how much that inspiration has meant not only to the individual himself but to the commimity in which he lives. Broader than Art for art ' s sake , tlie highest ideals of ethics and philosophy are always upheld and through the man who has been the soul of the department, one catches the inspir- ation to seek the beautiful and the ideal. Through unselfish de- votion and a true love and loyalt • for both the work and the co llege, our pioneer has kept ])ace with this rapid growing movement imtil today our Department of English compares favorably with that of any institution of its cla s.

Our college pastor has the largest load of any man on the faculty, heing the manipu- lator of the reformuig process in bringing up the younger Quaker generation in the way they should go. Besides this he manages to dabble in every college activity and lends valuable assistance to the athlete, the debater and even condescends to head the faculty inspecting com- mittee on the Sargasso. His classes are noted as the scenes of great forensic battles in which the inspiring young preacliers lead the warring forces, while he serves as moderator and peacemaker. Mrs. Lee says he is the only one on the faculty who can answer every t|uestion she can fire at him (and this is going some). His old athletic tendencies still crop nut and find outlet in splitting wood and in turning his wife ' s washing machine. MuKKAV S. Kenwokthv, histniclur in Biblical Litcnitun The Devil can quote Scril tiiyc to his I ' lirposc There is a certain ancient literature of which some colleges seem ignorant, bnt which Earlham considers even more worthy of study than the great epic of Homer or the orations of Cicero. Certainly, if there ever was a time when an Earlham Biblical student was looked upon as taking some- thing easy , that time has long since passed. A graduate who majors in Biblical work gets an A.B., the same as the rest — and has to earn it, too. Earlham ' s Biblical Department is not merely a class in the- ology. True, theology is taught — all the way from Old Testa- ment Theology to New Theolog)-. And though it centers about the Bible, it is a vastly varied line of teaching that is given on that greatest of all literature. The Bible is studied as literature, and those who have been blind to its beauty find the scales falling from their eyes as they see the visions of Isaiah and Ezekiel and Paul and John. Those who have been deaf to its music have their hearing restored, and listen with Elijah to the voice of God, or delight their ears with the sweet cadence of the Psalms. Those whose hearts have beaten sluggishl)- as they read the word, find themselves ap- proaching it with pleasure as they anticipate the thrill of the orations of Moses, the stirring story of Joseph, the epic idyl of Ruth, or the most masterful I ' hillipic of Jesus against the hyp- ocrites of his day. The Bible is studied as history and the work of God, es- pecially with the Hebrew nation, is allowed to point the way for progress in the present century; by seeing what Jesus did in Capernaum, men and women are helped to see what tlie - should do in Richmond or Indianapolis or Chicago. And the Bible is studied as revelation. Here as nowhere else is the will of God revealed. And the teachers seek and help their students to seek God ' s revealed will, not only in the book, but in tlie heart of man and in the world of nature. Confident that all truth is God ' s truth, they seek truth. And if the thing most men believe the book says or ought to !=a - does not accord with the truth as they see it. they hold that men are wrong in claiming that the book ought to sa ' it. Some go from the department of Biblical work to sin the same old sins — or worse. And some go forth to preach, or teach by their lives, the gospel of peace and good-will in America and Africa and INIexico and Japan — telling those that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, that in Him is life, and the life is the light of men.

' L According to latest reports Demosthenes is still dead. But we don ' t mind that. Prof. E. P. Trueblood is still in charge of the ___ Department of Public Speaking , ■ - - v at Earlham. Prof. Ed has ideas M| aH Mr of his own about elocution, ora- tory, and public speaking. There are little female elocutionists no bigger than a minute who can beat him a mile in saying, all twisted up in a double-bow knot, Cur-r-r-few must not r-r-r-r-ee-ee-ee-ng-ng-ng tonight . You sec. Prof. Ed don ' t care whether it r-r-r-r-ee-ee-ee-ng-ng-ngs or not. But if he told you Curfew shall not ring tonight , you ' d consider it a settled fact that there ' d be no bell to tell you when to go to bed. Earlham ' s Department of Public Speaking does not teach its students mere vocal contortions and gesticulatory gymnastics. But if it does not teach young men and women how to express thoughts vocally so as to convince, persuade and inspire, there has been a great inistake in the oratorical and de- bating returns from the contests with other colleges. Don ' t misunderstand. Prof. Ed does his work from the ground up. His students have to be able to say r-r-r-r-ee-ee-ee- ng-ng-ng , or any other other old thee-ee-ee-ee-ng-ng-ng . From orthoepy to oratory he covers tlie whole field. His students know the structure of an oration and also the structure of the larynx, how to give deep thoughts in a deep bass voice, if that is the proper thing just there. But the whole idea is not to perform , but to learn to give vocal expression to thoughts in such a wa ' that they shall produce their proper effect on the audience, whether the speaker be fighting in an intercollegiate debate, contending in an oratorical contest, trying to induce the city council to change the plans concerning that abominable sewer, or endeavoring to persuade sinners to flee the wrath to come . Perhaps Prof. Ed ' s plans have only one real point of genuine merit. They work better than other plans. That ' s about all. But they 7 ' ork. ( )h ! how they do work. The stuttering, stammering boy who couldn ' t say, Mary had a little lamb , with- out making (iu think he was lying, and convincing you that JNIary probably had a white elephant on her hands ; or the squirm- ing, giggling girl who couldn ' t convince you at the beginning that she had an - n:ind, say nothing of any thoughts in it — well. Prof. Ed does not teach them to say, Cur-r-r-few shall not r-r-r-ee-ee-ng-ng tonight! but he can teach them to tell you that the Curfew shall not ring tonight , and make vou believe it, too.

None of the courses give simply the one and not the other of these, but no student who had College Algebra or Trigonometry will say that he has had some drill in the use of figures, in the solution of the g problems which their thoughtful and considerate Profs. e been able to present to them. For the application of the knowledge to the practical every- day life, courses in Insurance, Mechanics, and Calculus are given. In the former, problems in valuation of bonds and computation of endowment rates and insurance premiums are given. In the latter one learns to calculate the amount of cork in a life pre- server, or the amount of dough in a doughnut. A course in The Teaching of Secondary Mathematics is given to those preparing to teach that subject in the high school. In this course especial emphasis is placed on the correct methods of teaching algebra, in order that future college students may be immune from the mania of many students today to take two terms of College Algebra. Courses are also offered in both Dif- ferential and Advanced Calculus, which has been called the sci- ence of nature because it is the science of variation. Two courses in Astronomy are given in which the text- book is supplemented by frequent visits to the observatory at almost all hours of the night. But what is seen there only those who are permitted to go in can tell and they usually return more anxious to seek company in their dreams than to impart their knowdedge to their fellow students. Only during the past two years has this department been able to claim a head professor, but under the very efficient di- rection of Prof. Mendenhall the department is constantly grow- ing stronger. Many new courses have already been added, and others are to be added for the coming school year. William Coleman McNown, B.S. Proi-icssor of Civil Engineering. Only the civil engineers really know this man and they swear hy hini, but professors, wherever ou go. are apt to be original in their conduct. We realize this and yet we boldly announce to the public that we have in this man the acme of individualism. What other in- stitution can produce a man to vie with Hamlet or Richard the Third? What makes the thing better still is the fact that he does it when we can watch liim. Let us describe the phenomenon. He chooses a morning at chapi-l time when all the students are gathered ex- pecting a talk of some kind ; he waits until every one becomes quiet, then steps majestically to the front of the stage. ( )ne uninitiated might think that he is preparing to say something, but far from it. He moves his lips indeed, but no crude words are allowed to mar the im- pressiveness of the scene. He Ijegins to sway gently, probably in time to the rhythm of his thoughts: if he become excited by the process, he may add a few gestures. He smiles or frowns accordingly as liis thoughts may b; comic or tragic. This completed, he glances keenly about the room ,ind t.nkes his seat. Yes. we boldly present the Monologue Prof, as the only original. 44 I CIVIL ENGlNEEKlNcl TIic Canipustry Bugs. Miassi iz jS ' -: :: Until two years ago, Earlhani could boast of no Engineer- ing Department. All such work that she offered was included under the Department of Pure and Applied IMathematics. But when Prof. Sackett resigned, to accept a position as head of the Sanit ry Engineering Department at Purdue, Pre.xy Kelly set to work and. aided by the mystic incantations of two or three of the trustees, at last conjured Cornell into giving up Professor McNown. It has always been a puzzle just how this came to pa.ss. The significant fact is we iwzv have the Department of Civil Engineering. About the first thing I ' mf. told us was that he got his sheep- skin from Wi corsin in ' 03; that he had since been connected with the Erie Railroad in its Maintenance of Way Department; that he did Ccrstruction and Municipal Work in ' 06 and then had charge of Railroad and Municipal at Cornell. Since Wm. C. has been with us another splinter-fired new transit, tape lines, plumb-bobs and three new pins have been added to the equipment. The departmental work has been broadened by courses in Structural Engineering, lasonry, Re- inforced Concrete and Specifications and Contracts. And then, too. Prof, introduced Church , but not to make his victims feel more reverential toward the general subject of Mechanics. New testing apparatus has also been promised for the near future. So with this enlargement of the laboratorv, and of the course of study, with the organization of an Engineering Club and a closer connection with the Department of Physics, Engineering has been made a strong course. If the charge has ever been made that the practical has been neglected at Earlham, if can now be denied. It is safe to say that no other institution can offer, alongside the regular cultural and college studies, so great a variety strictly of a universitv and technical tvpe. Edwin Morrison, B. S., M.S. PRorEssou OF Physics. Prof. JMorrison is industry personified. He is always the first Prof, to arrive and the last to leave the laboratory. He never knows when Friday evening conies, but continues un- til late Saturday night, and then carries a whole library home in his arms. These qualities of persistency and perseverance were acquired in his boyhood days while kicking shins with Prexv on the football field of Pdooniingdale .Academy. His students will never forget his elevate up , in thai luanner like that , connect on , repeat over , nor his favorite pas- time of fastening a clothes line to the wall and wiggling the other end of it. The value of his chapel talks varies inversely with the amount of preparation, as is shown by the fact that liis best one, after many apologies, was given off-hand. He and Prexy roomed in Heaven wltile in Rarlh.im, and this proliably accounts for the fact that both are preachers. Tliroii ' Physics Iq Ihc dogs, I ' ll liavc none of it. Many years ago the Earl- hani stiuk ' iit carefully measured the number of wave lengths in the Seq entine walk, and esti- ir.ated the necessary gravity for every occasion under the direc- tion of the Department of Nat- ural Philosophy. As times changed they began to call it Physics. For a long time it was linked with the Department of Chemistry, but in 1906, plans were laid which matured in the complete separation of the two departments in 1907. Since start- ing on its independent existence its growth has been phenomenal, amounting to over five hundred per cent. Why does the ambitious student spend his hours calculating Temperature. Coefficients and manipulating the Tresne! stirrers and Bi-Prisms? It is here the future engineer is getting the fundamentals for his vocation, while in Earlham ' s other varied departments, he adds those things that make a well rounded course. It is here that the coming instructor in Physics in our institutions of learning, from the high school up, is acquiring his information. ( )nc of the most popular as well as most profitable innova- tions that has liecn niade recently, is the introduction of Physical Manipulation. This includes shop work in both wood and metals, in glass blowing, chemical process, such as methods of silvering on glass, cleaning and distillation of mercury, and preparation of wax, glues, and cements, used in experimental work. This enables students not only to do experimental work but to con- struct their apparatus and laboratory materials as well. The demand for such training has been so great that facilities have already been enlarged in the two years of its operation. The methods used are those of the best technical schools and the course is made adjustable to the needs of the individual. Since a great deal of expense is involved in equipping a good Physics laboratory, it was the last science to be made an inde- pendent branch. However, with the feature of Physical Manip- ulation added, and with extensive purchases, students now have every facilitv for experimental investigation. The present di- rector, with his assistants, have constructed some of the most valuable apparatus, including several pieces from original designs. With its grow ' ing advantages the Department of Physics is justly claiming a large share of attention, and is becoming recognized as no mean department .

The horn was his o v)i and the tune had one refrain, but that didn ' t matter, we took it in w ' ell. The man then ])roceeded to do what the horn said to a certain extent ; he sang a solo liow and then, coached the basketball men a little and sported some. The last named activity was easily done, a new unmarried Prof, has that advanta,sje. But when we saw the extreme to which it was carried on at both ends of the line we marveled at the audacity. We mi- ht have saved our wonder to a later date. ( )nce in chapel the shock came: — he ])roniulsjated his (Loisctte ' s) memory system. Again we took it all in, but on second thought, looked it up and found that a little green book was to blame, nut lie.

Our students frequent this place to acquire a year of science, that is to be the n;ost useful to even the devotee of Greek or En- glish. They get this science to correlate with Biology or Geology as it may be. They often stay three or four years and secure the fundamental principles that will enable them to assist a steel magnate or a mining company in preventing usable material from going to the scrap heap. Though not strongly specialistic. the bulk of the education of the industrial chemist and analyst is received in this same Parry Hall. The students of this course take leading positions in prominent high schools and other educa- tional institutions. Thus does harmony exist with the outside world. = Dead Freshman. The most notable thing is the progress that is everywhere evident. An increase of 125 in enrollment over last marked the opening of the present year. In keeping with this growth, the addition of an entirely new advanced laboratory is noticeable while the capacity of the main laboratory has been doubled, thus aiifording opportunity for one hundred students to work at a time. There has been rapidly accumulating a very serviceable chemical library in the director ' s office. Here the seeker after knowledge may drop in for a social half hour with the past mas- ters of the science and become absorbed in anything from the process in cement making to a critical review of work being done with hexachlororthoquinomethylmonohemiacetalpyrocatechin ether. In this department the fact that there is a social side to even a chemist ' s nature is not overlooked. An annual banquet is given by the advanced men at which such fearfully named dishes as Potage a la Chemie. Caseinated Tubers. Spherical Legumes and Di-Methyl Xanthine Infusion are consumed. Parry Hall Punch has become widely known through its merits. It must not be forgotten that the Department of Domestic Science is correlated with Chemistry and the two work to each other ' s mutual advantage. Not only will you find chemists hailing from Earlham. but likewise in many of the best kitchens of the land will you observe former students directing operations with a master hand. Chemistry and Domestic Science make their bows and welcome you. Allen David Hole, B.S., A.M. PuorKssoK 111- ( li ' iiMir. ' i , AMI CrRATiiK 111 THI-: JiisKi ' ii Miiiiui-; Museum. Daddy had been so busy collecting antique fossils that he neglected his own welfare, liut the pace set by Harlow aroused his zeal and he at once set about to procure a wife. We had long ago given up all hope of his ever becoming a Benedict, and hence the announce- ment of his engagement caused great excitement in the college communit)-. This new fixture in his home explains why he no longer lingers around the halls, but immediately upon dis- missing classes makes a bee-line for tlie avenue. Those who neglect to visit them do not know what a treat they miss. For his chapel talks he generally conducts a Nickelodian .show in order to relieve the monotony. As the chairman of the committee on extra work it devolves upon him to place a restraining hand on the aspirations of the too precocious stu- dent. Conscientious, — yes, almost to a fault.

It has risen since 1000 from the insignifi cant place of offer- ing two elec- tives to that of a very pop- ular m a j o r. with courses arranged so that the student may pursue work in this line during his entire four years. The arrangement of the courses has been carefully made in accordance with the demands of those students wishing to supplement their science work with Geology, as well as of those who are pursuing it as a major. The work consists of lectures and recitations, library refer- GEOLor,iC- L Sl rvev C. mp in Color. do .M 11.000 Feet Above the Se. . ence work, laboratory investigations and field work. The latter includes not only work in the vicinity of Richmond, but each summer a special two months ' course is offered to a limited number of advanced students. These summer courses, as well as those offered at the college, are conducted by the head of the department, who is a member of the United States Geological Survey, and is engaged in making investigations in glacial geolo- gy in certain areas in the Rock - Mountains. The work for the summer of 1908 was in a part of the San Juan Mountains near Silverton and Durango, Colorado. The object of these field courses is not only to acquaint the student with the geology of the areas covered, but also to give him thorough instruction in general field methods, and in the making of maps and reports as nearly as possible up to the standard set by the United States Geological Survey. This advanced field course has become one of the most popular courses offered, since it furnishes a most ex- cellent and direct preparation for those desiring to engage in some line of practical work in geology. ' ork in the field as well as in the laboratory and class room, is supplemented by reference work in the library, where may be found a well selected series of geological works, including all reports, bulletins, folios, monographs, and professional papers issued by the United States Geological Survey, together with manv of the reports issued by the Departments of Geology in several of the states. David Worth Dennis, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. (svraci ' se ) rn(ii-i-;ss()i; OF ni(ii-ni;v. ■■ Behold a man in whom there is no guile . A kind Irish face and a merry twinkle of his blue eyes, with a .Vow, my dear young friends, I ' m afraid you haven ' t received your mental regeneration , is enough inspiration for the most dilatory one of us. Oh, yes, the Freshmen are afraid of him because bluffing doesn ' t go; but they soon learn to love and respect him for this very thoroughness. Daddv Dennis can tell you exactly what ornith- ological specimen is perched on the highest twig, if he can get his peepers on the creature ' s left toe nail. He can talk for sixteen da},s about the woodpecker ' s tongue and never say the sante thing twice. His sjiecialty is biology, but, aside from being well versed in all modem sciences, he is at home in the field of classic and modern language and literature. He is noted for his ability to quote poetry to suit any subject or occasion. He always has a sur- prise for us in his chapel talks, and we never know whether to expect a talk on Raphael or Darwin, lie is one who lives and practices what he teaches, and has been an inspiration to two generations of I ' ,arlliam students. nii. I . rjK.wi:, .Issisfaiil Professor of Biologv. 52 I Rather a cuu intact than a The most predominant characteristic of the Biolog-y Department is undoubtedly Dr. Dennis. It has a few other characteri-Stics — such as. the fright of the Fresh- men, the disgust of most of the girls, much scrapping, though it has been more grave this year, and last but not least the genuine laboratory perfumes. Now, my young friends, get in the game. You must have classified one hundred trees, press their leaves, and keep a note book for the lectures or there will be no use for yon to waste your time on this course until examinations. . nd the Freshmen look scared, the bluffers smile, and the more serious record She data in their note books. Now, ladies and gentlemen. I want you to pass around and take a look at this slide. It is as pretty as a peach. It is worth its weight in gold — providing you could sell it. . nd the proud possessor of the slide beams in the Plant Histology course. . gain, in the spring there is another course, more popular than trees because it is such fun to go birding . What we need in this class is mental regeneration — we need to have our minds all born over again and be able to see whether a bird is purple or green, and then no one looks much frightened. B) ' the time the .Anin ' .al Histology course is taken, the silkx poodle in the Lab. blnflFers are few, the Freshmen are brilliant Sophomores, no longer afraid but bold. The amount of time spent on this and on Embryolcgy during the year is detrimental even to B ' s in German. But no greater blow can come to a student ' s pride than, when after a strenuous effort at a recitation, there is an ominous silence on the part of the teacher, his spectacles leave his nose and the fall is complete with. Xow, do you rec.Uy think you have said anything? The Osteology class fairly make the bones rattle and try to impress the less wise by long names. The Evolution class is a close rival in popularity with Birds and Trees. In this class Dr. Dennis always brings a broader view of everything to his stu- dents. The Bacteriologists are small enough in numbers to be relegated to the side room, but they consider themselves the lords of the laboratory ' and tell nf how tliey worked when they had Animal Histology. The courses have been somewhat changed this year as Dr. Dennis left during the middle of the Fall term not to return until Spring. There has been given by Prof. Grave a year ' s work in Plant Evolution and he has also given one term of Com- parative Anatomy. The work in the laboratory has been made much simpler by the advice and assistance of Prof. Grave. With a competent assistant and new courses, the Biology Department has outgrown its present quarters and a new labora- torv is needed as soon as it can be given. There is surely no set of students more loyal to their professors and to their work than the Biologv- students. Lucy Francisco, B.S., A. Vl. DlKIXTuK OF l)i:i ' AKT.Ml;.NT IJI- ' Ml SIC. ( )nly tlie music students rcallv know Miss Francisco, as the common herd never see her except on those mornings at chapel when she introduces to ns Moszkowski, Rubinstein, Tschaikowsky, and others. Ahhough we do not iniderstand the theme of the selection, which she so carefully explains beforehand, yet we appreciate the music itself as a rare treat. Her students are effected by her energetic disposition so much that every piano in the insti- tution is kept going from morning till night. You would not suspect it, but this musical ])nHli_;y was a chemistry shark in her college days, taking her B. S. and . . M. in that de- partment, supplementing this with a ])ost graduate course in liryn Mawr. .Slie tlien taught Botany and German, the latter at Friends ' University, Wichita, Kansas, and after this thor- ough ])reparation came back to Earlham where .she is now chief mogul of the Music De- partment. She spent the winter term in F.uro|)e acquiring a few- new wrinkles of the music art. 54 [ 1 Music hath charms to soothe tlic saivt c breast. ' In past years Quakerism has always been associated by many with a lack of music. This is to a certain extent true. During the first thirt} ' years of Earlhani ' s existence there was no music of any sort in the col- lege. As the years passed, however, this need was serious- ly felt and as the old idea, — that music was sacriligious and harmful, — became obsolete, the ni v icUa f a lU ]-.iiiiiK nt mi ir.usic came to the front. Thus it was that in 1885 this important part of the curriculum of modern colleges was begun in the leading Quaker institution of the U ' est. This, however, was a small beginning and it was not until 1891 that the department became anything similar to the flourish- ing one which we have now. ]Mrs. Finley was instructor then and under her careful guidance and supervision music became a helpful and lasting influence in the college. It is largelv due to her efTorts that the present high standard has been reached. In 1906, Miss Lucy Francisco, the present instructor, took charge, and under her management the standard has been steadily raised. Miss Francisco is a very competent and able teacher, as the number and enthusiasm of her pupils indicate. Lessons wider her require many hours of hard preparation, but it is the kind of work that is a pleasure. Her chapel exercises are also a notable part of her work, as it brings the entire school into touch with the department and instills into every one the desire for good music. The many student and faculty recitals that have been given in the past three years have also received their full share of appreciation. The needs of the department, however, are great, and Miss Francisco is aided by a corps of very efficient teachers. Miss ?ilarcy Kirk is the assistant in piano and she also teaches a few of the classes in theory and composition. Miss Jeannette Edwards of Indianapolis, spends two days a week at the college for the purpose of teaching voice. It is probably this phase of the de- partment that has grown the most in the past few years. In- struction in the violin is receiving a new impetus under the direction of Miss Edna Hecker, from New JNIadison, Ohio. v dio spends one day a week at Earlham. L ' nder the direction of,,Miss Edwards and Miss Kirk, the college chorus of thirty voicss has been carefully trained and has sung several times before the stu- dent body. Indications also point to increased interest in quar- tettes and orchestras. There are several organizations of this sort in the college at present but tliey are not under the super- vision of the JNIusic Department. AXXA MOORE, A. B., Assistant Professor of Eiii;lish. Miss Moore had the reputation as a teacher before she came to Earlham and during the short time she has been with is, she has won our admiration, not only as a teacher, but as a scholar and yes — a philosopher. For who would not be willing to sit for hours and listen to the whys and wherefores of life, its beauties and ideals, and all told in such a charming way. We had hop ed that she would prolong her stay among us for years, but fate decreed otlierwise it seems, For she is a woman and therefore to be won and the predestined knight has made his appearance upon the scene. L.XL ' RRNCE HADLEY, Ph. B.. A. M., Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Even the faculty is not without its sports , as Professor Hadley is one of the most enthusiastic students in the Cam- pustry department. Although Harlow and Daddy Hole only took one term in this course, be is following the habit of the college algebra students and taking a second term. In the class room he is just as enthusiastic concerning a prob- lem. No detail is so small as not to receive the utmost attention. No pupil is so dull as not to receive as much care a.s tlie most brilliant. He seems to have a square deal for his motto and certainly lives up to it. . 1. RCY LOREXA KIRK, Instructor in Piano and Theory. By looking at her picture one would not think that Miss Modesty is continually being taken for a Freshman, but that is the fault of the picture. She is a living exception to the rule that all good children die young. Because of her being so sensitive and .so easily fussible , we hesitate to elaborate on her characteristics for fear of hurting her feel- ings. We saw more of her during the winter term when she filled Miss Francisco ' s place in chapel, .xnd especially was she the cynosure of attention when she instituted the grand piano prelude . ELSIE M. .MARSHALL, A. D.. Instructor in Domestic Scioicc. and .Issistanf in Physical Culture. Miss Marshall divides her attention between teaching the future housewives how to knead the dough and conducting French dancing lessons (girls only) in the Gym. She is the only one in school who can outwalk Miss Keyes and keep her tongue going at the same rate, for she always has something to say out of the class room as well as in. With all her good ideas about Domestic Science it is really too bad that she lives in single blessedness, and any of her stu- dents are ready and willing to act as matchmakers for hi_-r if an opportune time arrives. MURRAY S. KENWORTHY. B.L., A.AL, Instructor in Biblical Literature and Acting Professor of Greek, The very picture of well-fed content and seemingly always in the very pink of condition. Prof. Kenworthy ' s loyalty to the college in any of its numerous undertakings is never doubted, for in his student days we find him in the list of Athletes, Orators, and Debaters. When he leaves the Greek room, you may be certain that he is not afraid of physical labor, for you will find him at home with hammer or spade, if not dabbling in suds helping his wife (a characteristic of a meek Biblical Professor). Being one of the knockers on the frivolity of the last Sarg. sso, we tremble at his verdict of this one. ELORENCE HAXSOX. A. B., Lady Principal and Instructor in French. Just a wee bit precise, most people think. Has a horror for men. barn-dancing, sewing parties and ringing hand bells. Of course, this doesn ' t imply that she is whimsical at all. In her inquisitional zeal for borrowing trouble, she is con- tinually calling some one down — although it is usually the wrong one. Her latest addition to our moral and religious code is that it is far more Christian-like for the girls to make fudge Sunday morning rather than keeping people awake while making it on Saturday night. She also thinks it far better for the girls to go alone than to have escorts. She has traveled extensively and made a specialty of French. Since it is so difficult for her to leave off the old habit of teaching, she has kindly consented to help out Prof. Charles and Miss Keyes by taking a French class off their hands. lELEN nROWN KEYES. A. B.. Instructor in Frc.:ch and German. Miss Keycs hails from the East and has condescentlcd to tal e up her ahode in the midst of the dorm dwellers . Al- ready her civilizing influence has made itself felt among the harbarians . She is as independent as you please and is noted for her frankness in expressing her original ideas on any and every subject. Lncky is the chap who finds himself in her German or French classes — that is, if he knows his lessons; if not, it is advisable that he seek more comfortable (|iiarlers. It took the photographer just two months, three weeks and four days to get her picture, even though he re- cci ed the most strenuous assistance of the combined efforts of the Sargasso editors. BEN F. GRAVE, A. B., . Issistant Professor of Bio!oi;y. This man should be known 1) the returm (in crnors: lie would be an inspiration to them. Elected as Graduate Manager of Athletics, he at once went down to the shop and made a large lid, which he placed on the treasury and nailed down. Instead of following Luther ' s example of nailing his Theses to the door, this great reformer spouts his in chapel. The most famous of these is the one on Wishy Washy Sentimentalism . He is opposed to bird classes on the grounds that Biology and Campustry should be two distinct departments. Assuming Dr. Dennis ' place as head of the Biology department, he has had a difficult position to fill, but up to date, the students sa - the - have no kick coming. IIULDA WHEELER, Instructor in Vocal Music. Hulda was only with u s the Winter term during Miss Edwards ' absence, but she made a hit with her sweet singing and golden hair. The only regret among the older boys was the fact that she was already taken . She says Earlliam had a wonderful influence upon her from the very start for she threw away three rats the first day, when she saw that the Earlham Co-eds did not use ( ?) them. Would that there were more like her. JEAXXETTE EDWARDS, Instructor in J ' oca! Mnsic. The founder of a real-for-sure chorus. So important has it become that it deserved to have its picture taken for the Sargasso — though it had to be done in the dark. Having the true missionary spirit, we gave her a three months ' leave of absence to entertain the music-loving people of Germany. They, having become satisfied, gave her an indefinite leave of absence and she got back to Earlham in time for the Spring term. Let it be officially understood that those trills in her voice are not due to stage fright but are the results of years of practice. ARTHUR H. HIRSCH. A. B., Instructor in History and Political Science. Rather tall, slender, flaxen-haired and blue-eyed, with a grin that overspreads his entire countenance. He has a title of Reverend and his preacher ' s instinct has manifested itself even in the class room where he has erected a pulpit effect on which he leans and delivers his orations with masterful eloquence. Once in a while his train of thought is wrecked by a question and it often takes him the rest of the period to get back on the track. Woe to that one who says, ' T don ' t know in his classes, for he will bombard him with questions till he finds out what that one does know, unpleas- ant as the process may be. But then that is Rev. ' s way and we all have our faults. EDNA HECKER, Instructor in Jlolin. We hardly know her except as a violinist and pianist. She has been designated by some as an Athletic Musician. She certainly does put her whole soul into her music when she plays and we are accustomed to being carried off into the land of nocturnes and rhapsodies, coming back to mother earth again with a thud when her instrument ceases. Although modest and demure, as most Quaker maidens are, we hear from those who know her best, that she enjoys a joke as much as anyone. MARY A. JAY BALLARD, A. I!.. Inslructor in Stamsh. and Rci istrar. Unknown by many of the stndents, evidently Mrs. Ballard, in regard to Earlham at least, was born to blush unseen . Those who are in her Spanish classes or come in contact with her in the office are impressed by the cheerfulness and kindness with which she performs her duties and her ever-willing spirit to help out the students in regard to their Clnn■ c (ir credits. Here ' s hoping more students will bejonie really acijuainted with Ikt and that future ones will have the bcnelit i)f her ir.tluence as some of us have had. 1 RI ' :nKRRK CLIFTOX ' A1L, Director of .

Vail, .Athletic Coach and tieneral .Advisory Committee. If you wish to kr.ow how to serve at table, when to put on ellow spats, how to get a roimd soccer ball, in short, if you wish to know anything, go to this man with new ideas. There was a slight squall in Fo.xy ' s gray matter the other da ' , and he came forth with the proposition that Earlham enter the mail order business and carry on a track meet with Haverford through the post. He had looked into the mat- ter carefully and stated that the finish of the races would be vastly more exciting with L ' ncle Sam as a medium. The cost of the stamps could, he thought, be easily defrayed by the gate receipts. The track men mimediately began nng. ( )LI ' E S. ROGERS LIXDLEY, A. B., Instructor in English. .Allow us to introduce to you Mrs. Olive Rogers Lindley, chief cook and private secretary to Our Harlow , the cap- turing of whom is her greatest achievement. At the urgent request of the Board of Trustees, she is helping out the faculty by taking charge of the Prep. work. Having been assistant governess over one hundred and twenty girls in the Dorm last year, we doubt not but that she finds it an easy task to rule over her cozy little home on the avenue. Of course, we haven ' t been invited over yet for a good meal, but we live in hopes. Mendenhall FIXLEY XEWLIX. Treasurer and Postmaster. Finiey. the infallible figure manipulator and money juggler, is a great Taft man, as can be told by his mustache. His zeal for Uncle Sam ' interests is so great that he even puts a notice ' in your box whenever a Special Delivery letter is waiting in the office. GRACE TRIMBLE, College Hostess. According to definite directions, we designate Miss Trimble as College Hostess instead of Parlor Matron . Anyone wishing information as to the latest developments in the sporting world of Earlham. can get the desired information from her— for she is in a position to know. ALFRED E. WARE. Superintendent. Supe is a miniature Roosevelt, his main characteristics being the stren- uous life , big stick , and raw deal . ]Many needed improvements on farm and campus have come during his administration and we regret his resignation at the close of the Winter term. He has taken charge of his large farm in Kansas. LILLIAX WARE. Matron. Her striking characteristic is her attachment to her family for we never saw her except at meals. One thing sure, we had mighty good grub for which we were duly grateful. We wonder w ' ho will do the milking on the farm in Kansas. MARMADUKE GLUYS. Eni ineer and Meehanieian. We all know and love Marmaduke, who has been here for one-third of a century, as he looks in his working togs , lubricating and repairing the mechanism of the college. He hasn ' t had time to have a cabinet picture taken for twenty years, but took a day off to get this one for the Sargasso. LUCY iMEXDEXHALL. Gov. ' s Wife. None of the Bundy Boys wonder at Gov.

The State Library School at Earlhani, with what pride did we read that in the papers, a year ago this siirint;-, wlicn it was decided by the high ning-uls to favnr Earlham witli the Summer Library School. That the charms of Earlhani are above those of Winona Lake, is plain to be seen by the students, but that outsiders were aware of the fact, also, has always been a matter of wonder. That the new College I ibrary, supplemented b ' the Morrisson-Reeves Librar - at Richmond, offered better facilities to the Library School than the Winona one was taken as a matter of course and Earlham made such an impression on them that the school will be lield here this summer. It was the 15th of July, that thirty students began their work and incidentally, at the same time, began to bake and sizzle in the second floor of the library, although the charming view helped to countcrljalance the heat. There were seven dav students in tlie school, the rest residing in P.undy Hall. The school was in charge of Mr. Chalmers Hadley, of the State Library Commission. His assistants were Miss Carrie Scott and Mr. Francis Goodrich, all of wdioni did every thing in their power to make the session a successful and ])leasant one. They succeeded admirably. Mr. Arne Kildahl, of the Library of Congress, gave several profitable lectures durin,g the session. The social side was by no means neglected and the six weeks were gay with hay-rides, picnics, etc. An excursion to the Dayton, ( )liiii. I ' ublic Library was one of the features of the session, a special car being obtained for Ihe trip. ' Pedagogues nerd Pedagogics.

The best laid plaiis- II ' Department of Canipu ' lry at Karlham is not, as is L;iiierai. coni]]lek- in itsLlf. It i a liniadcr name for a col- li ction of lesser conrses. In the collection there are Do- mestic Science, I ' arlorolonn,-, Cross Coimtrv Strollinn-. pjraceful Campus Strolling, Oratory, Psychology. Scheming, a course in Birds, and a special Senior ' s course in Matrimony. The general term for any of these classes is Sporting and nearly all the conrses of the college tit in at some juncture: Lectures. Ath- letics, Dining Room Tables and (dances niav tie mentioned. This has lon,g been a favorite course with the students. The reason for it is hard to ascertain. It is possible that it appeals to the lo ' c ' e of chance, which is fo ingrained in our natures. It can not be because the course is easy : it is one of the most exacting in the curriculum. The tests are very stifif and Flunks arc frequent. The advice that the Senior .gives annually tn the Freshman who complains to him : | ' . shows that this cour VI flunk I iln has taught him the secret of success: Butt ill afiaiii . iifl you ' ll gel tlirniiKh. -gang aft agley. Yes. the course is stiff. But there is a chance for variety .uid there is a competitive arrangement that spurs the student to his best efforts. The distrilnition of courses is a little irregular, l- ' or exam]ile, a Freshman may take almost any of the courses, — with the ex- ception of the Senior. As a Sophomore or Junior, he may take it over or enter an advanced class. A few of us are not eli.gihle for advanced standing because of — oh. so many things. The idea is not so much to gain a complete knowled.ge if the entire course as it is to gain one of the many more or less ' I ' tilnable f ii:es of- fered. The Senior stands in a class by himself, — it mi.ght be c?llcd a Fellowship. He tries to show the underclass men what the sublime result of a careful four years of study may be. He mixes all the courses into a heterogeneous mass. H it proves to be a pill, he swallows it ; if, on the other hand, the mass assumes a more lovely shape, he feels that he lias attained that for which he came and after adding a few irregular courses, he is ready for commencement. The Joseph Moore Museum ALLEX D.WID HOLE, Curator The Beginnixgs URIXG the year 1853 the northeast room of the first floor of a certain unfinished building was used for a library and also for the storage of a fairly good set of philosophical and chemical apparatus for that day. In a small closet space underneath the bookcase which occupied the west end of the room, were two shelves on which were grouped some minerals and fossils which alto- gether would hardly have filled a peck measure. These were the nu- ; Museum. They were sufficient to give inspiration to a very few students whose relish for Geology- began to be sharpened by finding that the earth was really giving proof of what book said, and that in these parts the rocks had much more to say than the books. In the fall of 18, 3 Professor Moore, who had been ajipointed assistant in the boy ' s department, began to collect material with which to aid in imparting instruction in natural science. About three years after, at the time of the completion of the central portion and the east wing of Earlham Hall, a wall case seven feet high and five feet wide was placed on the south side of the lecture room, now the Young Women ' s Christian Association room. This case was filled with minerals, fossils, shells, bones, a few scraps of coral, In- dian relics, etc., and was quite an attraction to students and visitors. In the early autumn of 1859, Professor Moore entered the Law- cleus of the Joseijli Moon rence Scientific School of Harvard University and began collecting with a new vigor inspired by museums and collections of greater proportions than any he had ever seen. For two years he made trips to various points of interest in the East, paying his own ex- penses, the result being a large addition to the Earlham Cabinet . To accommodate the enlarged collection a room was provided, thirty-two by thirty-five feet, by partitioning off the east end of the large room, now the Young Women ' s Christian Association room. In 1866 Professor Moore took advantage of the delightful opportunities afforded by the extensive travel with his work in North Carolina, again sending all the material gathered to Earlham. The fall, winter and spring of 1874 and 1875 he spent on the Pa- cific Coast and in the Hawaiian Islands. The journey and collections were almost entirely at Iun privalo .x]kii ' -c. rii|uiriiig a total outlay of about one thousand dol- lars. The har- vest of speci- niens from this trip, measured as to bulk, omounted t o (ibout twenty liarrels. r)n the arrival of this collection, the partition w a s removed from the hall and r j_j„ the entire space, fifty-five by thirty-two feet, was set apart for a museum. Dtiring Professor Moore ' s four years ' stay in North Carolina, beginning in 1884, as Principal of Guilford College, were gathered most of the stone implements in the North Carolina collection, found in a case in the north gallery. Additions were also made at this time to the collection of rocks and mineral specimens. Growth of the INIusei ' .m The museum has often received small, yet occasionally valuable gifts of specimens from students and also from persons not con- nected with the college. The Smithsonian Institution at Washing- ton has, on as many as three occasions presented sets of specimens. In the early days of President Mills ' administration, new and com- modious buildings were erected which gave ample opportunity to expand and to exhibit the various departments, and in the summer of 1888 the collection of specimens, as it then was, was moved to its appointed place in Lindley Hall. The same year the office of Curator of the Museum was officially recognized by the college and Professor Nloore was appointed to the place. During the twelve years immediately following, the collection more than doubled in extent and far more than doubled in value. Between sixty and seventy cases have been added since coming into Lindley Hall, the whole number at present being ninctv- five, besides extensive shelving and plat- forms outside the cases. The majority of the cases have been furnished by the South American Sloth college; a few, however, have been gifts, with the specimens which they contain, -Hon. William Dudley Fc mike and Mr. Benjamin Johnson, of Richmond, furnishing two cases. Two large .skeletons are easily the most noticeable of all the specimens, and are among the most important in the museum. The smaller is ' an Amburg ' s famous elephant, Tippo Saib . This elephant was over nine feet high and weighed over 9,000 jiounds, its age being probably about forty years. The larger of these two skeletons, that of the Mastodon, is one of the largest of the few that have been mounted in the United States. It is made up almost entirely of two remnants — the two were so nearly on the same scale for size that they fit together almost as well as if all had originally belonged to the san-e carcass. The height to top of head is eleven feet and two inches : the length from forward curve of tusks to backward curve of tail is twenty feet and two inches ; estimated weight, vi ' hen alive, about 20,000 pounds. Perhaps the most important mounted skeleton, however, is of the Fossil Beaver (Castoroides ohioensis) . This skeleton, almost entire, was found in eastern Randolph county, Indiana, in ISS ' l, in a gravish fine-grained mud, beneath jieat and above drift gravel. Extreme length, five feet, three and a half inches; height, one foot eight and three-fourths inches. In weight the animal, when alive, was about equal to that of a medium-sized Rlack Bear. I ' nless there have been additional finds in very recent years, of which reports have not been published, Earlham has in this specimen by far the most nearly complete skeleton of Castoroides ohioen.sis known to scientists anywhere, no other one being sufficiently complete to be mounted. In addition to this mounted skeleton the fragmental por- tions of various individuals of the same species now in the Karlhani Museum represent a larger number of individuals of the species than is cf ntained in all other nuiseunis in the I ' nitcd .States. Presen ' t ' ork oe the Museum . The making of a complete list of the 2. ,000 (estimated) speci- mens, and recording concerning each the place where secured, the person b}- whom collected, and the one from whom bought or re- ceived as a gift, is the work receiving the most time and attention at present, although additional specimens are being continually re- ceived. In order to make each one of these specimens easily avail- able for examination or class use. the preparation of a permanent card index has been undertaken, and three years work already done on this index has classified a vast amount of material wliich would otherwise be almost useless. The present management of the college has provided the Cura- tiir with a corps of assistants, which makes it possible to follow out in a practical way the thought of his honored predecessor in giving opp.irtunitN ' to the numerous visitors (approximately 4.000 each ear ) to examine what most interests them, thus to some extent realizing the purpose of a museum as stated by Professor Moore himself in these words: It has always seemed to me in passing through a systematically arranged museum that the minds and the hands that planned and arranged it were aiding the Divine Creator in revealinsr himself to men. Articles from Akimiii An Ancient View o ' Barlhan Akunni r XFA i ' :R udukl have uccurroil td luc that I shuuUl have hecn ek-clL-d to write on this subject with any litness, if I had nut been compelled to adjust my glasses for the task, and •ii.me mildewed memories of the early seventies had not come Mi)ating- in. as further reminders. It has fallen to the lot of the writer to spend most of his life within the sound of the old college hell that, unclianged, has tolled out the hours for morning awaken- ing, and evening slumbers, for the last fifty years. When he first walked into the college in the Spring term of 1872, from his home le; s than si.x miles away, only forty-five students had graduated fr(;ni this institution. Ten years had elapsed, it is true, since it turned i ut its first graduate, but only a few completed the course each year: all told, not more than some of the graduating classes cif nii ' dern tiino, were numbered in its Alumni. As the faculty wa largely made up uf former graduates. I was surprised at the number of the old stutlents that I have known: Calvin W. Pearson. ' 1)5 ; Deborah Stcere, ' 6.S ; Anna Valentine, ' 65 ; .Alpheus McTaggart, ' ()f) : r.enjaniiu V. Trueblood, ' 69; Morris P. Wright, ' 70, and many others were then engaged in the active work of the college. Still others lived either in the city or near-by towns, and have become friends aid acquaintances since. In ' 72 an inventorx- nf cullege pro()erty wnuld list one main building, with fan-bark annex for gvm- nasiuni. and an observatory as at jiresent. . 11 sleeping — when things were goin.g I ' i.ght — and eating — when dixie was to be had — as well as teaching, preaching, and accommodations for library and niu.seum. were witliin this main building. We lived in close fellow- ' hi]), and were not troubled much by the Day Dodger , as verv few students came from the citv. . s students began to develop character of some kind, so there could be no mistake about their future, they were either sent down to one of the Hades , or if still in doubt at the Sopohmore year, they were permitted to remain in Purgatory until the final examinations. If needing help, they were sent to the top of building for retrospection from Alacedonia. If a Prep or under-classman, you were required to remain in the common class room, under a governor ' s eye, during study hours, which was most as bad as Hades, either - East or West . - t my debut in Earlham, Benjamin F. Trueblood, ' 69, was keeping the peace in the boys ' school room b}- day and stopping croquet balls in the sleeping hall by night. It was here, after a stormy year, that he first made a firm resolve to have peace with all the world. David W. Dennis. ' 73, was a successor to Trueblood, and from the bad ex- am], Ls lie had jiresented to him during this earl - and unstable time of his life, it is a wonder he ever turned out so well; but come to think of it, he used to turn out well to see the pillow fights at nigbt and would turn us out — well or sick — at 5:30 a. m. for breakfast, if we didn ' t slide down the post. In looking over the early graduates, it is to be observed that many names are linked together, as Wm. X. Trueblood and Ruth Emma Stubbs, wdiich, when taking into consideration that their opportunities, at that time, for match-making were not nearly so favorable as at present, must speak volumes for their energv. and want of college discipline. )ne or two socials of heterogeneous character were permitted each term, anil what, with ti].)iiing of hats and smiles, along the front walks, after meals, together with occasional opportunity for side glances in the dining room, or at recitations, made up the full measure of legitimate love- making at the college, and considering how well it worked then, it seems a wonderful waste of time to put in so many hours, through field and .glen, as our present candidates for matrimon - are required to consume. It is likely that the course in this important branch of the college work will soon be shortened, so as to give more time to the otherwise minor work of the catalog. I understand that the unmarried college professors are only to have credit for one hour a week, instead of sixty as heretofore. I want to call attention at this point to the class of 74. J. P. Dunn used to play Denny near the East wing of the building, in full view of the Prep school room, until those fellows would turn green with envy, before he would make a rush, about twenty minutes before class time, for Hades to acquire a lesson that took other members an hour or two to master. Since that time he has carried his talents, and favorite color, to the Imiiaiia[ oIis Star, and this journal must have been a little yellow. According to William Jones, Albert otaw and James Unthank, of this class, hay was selling from ten to twenty-five dollars per ton, according to the standing of the applicant. It was a hay -day for these young fellows, and it is a wonder they even got out of West Hades . In fact they made so much fuss, that their suc- cessors of 75 — William Pearson, Thomas Roberts and William P. Trueblood — did penance for a year in Purgatory for their sins, and a m.ore sober lot never went away from Earlham. The reformation started, was followed up by the class of 76. Marianna Brown was a model girl, and always had her lessons, and was kind to her teachers, loves and true. Lindley H. Johnson and Robert P. White are both quiet, law-abiding farmers in eastern part of Henry county. The only regret that the class has, is that Absalom Rosenberger should have turned out so bad at Penn Col- lege. It is said that he thinks he has the only true Quaker college, and has forgotten his own Mother. Wonder if this will remind him of this semi-centennial year ! Things had moved along smoothly for several years, when the class of ' 77 came marching in to a tune composed by Irwin H. Cammock, or Arthur C. Rogers, — the honor has never been bestowed owing to a rivalry between these musicians, but I suppose Cammock will claim it, since Rogers has gone to a school for Feeble-minded — poor fellow. Mary Binford and William Coffin were each studying for medicine among other kinds of devil- ment, and Thomas R. Woodard wished to alh ' himself to the pro- fession by studying dentistry as an optional, with one hour ' s credit per week. In fact, Mary Ann Stubbs and Albert Haisley were the only bright members of the class. The worst of it all was, that the class found when it went to graduate it was not going to have credits enough, so it agreed to haul stone for the college to make up for shortage, and consequently the Day Dodgers and all other dodgers have had som.ething to paint semi-annually, or oftener, and red has been very much much in harmony with the previous record cf the class. I knew all the members uf 78 very well. Tliey were a very dignified lot, but I don ' t see how one of them can pronounce his own name and be a minister — Doggett ! Lindley Greene learned somewhere, in the study of medicine, to be a broker, yet in college he was always considered to be perfectly straight in all of his deal- ings. The same may be said of Leander J. Woodard, although he buys wheat now, and after converting it into flour, tries to sell it at a profit. Ella Levering and Antoinette Rezin were the main stays of the class, however, as they had the pozvcr and good reason to be. I wish to close with the class of 79. David Douglas appears in the catalogue as a cashier of a bank, which gives him more credit than is due. He really is the best second baseman Earlham ever had, and banking has been acquired since, and is not natural for him. Three other boys make up the male out])r,t of tlii class — Levering, Moffitt and Parker, all good fellows in their way, but when compared with the girls of the class must make them pause. There have been girls in Earlham, and there will be others, but where will you find gems like these: Eliza Hadley, ' irginia Reid, Luella Stubbs, Idella Watson, Phariba White, all stars, and have lots of printing after their names in the catalogue, showing that the public thinks well of them. It makes me de-lighted wlien I think thev are all sisters of mine. Ill turning over the leaves of tlie catalogue, I note the stars after the names of several of my old college friends, and, although I can see their faces as plainl) ' today as in the far-away yesterday. 1 cannot help thinking how appropriate tlie stars are, and what a constellation these many dear ones must make in tlie eternal blue.

From Philadelphia Earlhain tlub l-TTER received from the editor-in-chief of the 1909 ■ UGASSO asking about the history, purpose, meetings, etc., f the Philadelphia Earlham Club, has resulted in the athering together of the following infnrmatinn. most of uliuh ]; - been taken from tlie minutCN of the club. The first gathering of Earlham people who li c(l in and near Philadelphia, of which there is any record, was alimU the 1st of December, 1899, when a little company of loyal h arlhamites gathered at the home of the Wildmans in Philadelphia. It was not an attempt to gather together Earlhamites exclusively, as there were friends from Ohio and elsewhere at the meeting who knew nothing of Earlham ; it was simply an attempt of strangers in a strange land 1(1 draw closer together, h ' very familiar face was a joy to the be- holder. At the first meeting were Florence llenle -, the V ' l r.ryn Alawr gill ; James Iliatt, the ' 99 Haverford boy ; Alargaret Cha]iman I Matt, who was then teaching in Moorestown ; Ruby Davis, who was at Wesltown ; Edward Wildman, who was teaching there, Ka - and Marion White, Mrs. Alary White, Theresa Wildman, Dr. and .Mrs. William Evans, Stella Newsom and Mary Peacock. It was not until June, 1902, that any plan was fonmilated to cre- ate an organization or to make the Earlham gatherings a iiernianenl institution. .At that time the Earlhamites were entertained b ' AHjert iilaw and liis wife at Westtown, and . lbert X ' otaw was tile origin- ator of the plan to hold regular Earlham meetings, . - o a business meeting was held and Chalmers Hadley elected president and Royal J. Davis secretary and treasurer. The club now meets regularly twice eacli year ; usually a social gathering at some member ' s home during the winter when we have often been so fortunate as to have some Earlhamite passing through the city to visit the club. Late in the winter of 1900 President Mills was invited to come to Bryn Alawr to give an address there before what corresponds to a Christian .Association. All the Earlhamites were invited out to meet him after the address in the Graduates ' Club Rooms. In 1906 we heard directly from Earlham through Sara Rogers. We usually have a letter from President Kell which is always enjoyed. A picnic is usually held in the spring at some interesting or historical spot. These meetings are always lo oked forward to with great pleasure and the average attendance is, I think, about thirty. . t the winter meeting in I ' ebruary this year with Dr. and Mrs. William I ' Aaiis. ( ieorge Wetherell was elected ]lre illent, Manning J. Smith treasurer, and Edith .A. Chandlee secretary. These officers with two club menibers appointed by the club (this vear being Ruby Davis and Edrward Wildman ) form the executive committee, whose duty it is to arrange meetings, etc. EuiTH A.

The Earlltaitt Ar Jonauts in !alil ' rnia 111 ' ' , fellow that helped steal the ' 99 banner, and sonic good ' ' ' ers who mourned and raged over their spoliation, and ui irreiiressible naughty-naught who helped plan the coup for the triumphant return of the trophy on the ' 99 com- nK.. ,..vnl day, and the Iieloved Prexy wdio bore the Inirden of all the turmoil,— these, and others of their ilk, of ihe pure strain of the Earlliam blue blood, little dreamed that the would in future days be argonauts to the land of gold and sunshine, and meet under the warm skies of California, to swap Earlham yarns and — be friends ! But down Los Angeles way. where, at Whittier, the hub of California Quakerism protrudes visibly, these erstwhile strenuous combatants speak right civilly when they pass, and have been known even to congregate at informal gatherings and at dinner parties. Then are the old Earlham jokes bandied about and probably Cass Rees, ' 99, has to tell again about hauling the banner out of the third story window of Lindley Hall, and of how Fate decreed that he should finally graduate with the class he helped to despoil. Allen Tomlinson, ' 02, forgets for a moment the patois of his hardware monopoly and tells about the hoe-downs after supper in the hall- way on the boys ' side. Then Caleb Cook, ' 98, is called upon to illustrate the story with one of his old hot-foot-Indian-club-tossing stunts, done to the ping pang of a banjo and the jingle of a man- dolin. Perhaps R. W. Kelsey, ' 00, has just been presiding at a Meeting on Ministry and Oversight, but he is ruthlessly reminded of the time when he poured water down the stairway on Supt. Chapman and helped run a rough house on Gov. Newby and Pro- fessor Collins. Cy Coffin, ' 98, is five hundred miles away at San Francisco and therefore it is safe to tell of how he was in the bi.g scrap in the garret of Lindley Hall and, because it was too dark for good defense, came ofif with one temper injured and one nose broken. It was during the faculty inquisition later that one of the boys who had been on the roof that night was asked whether an - more than those already named succeeded in climbing the roof. Yes, he admitted reluctantly, one Moore. But enough of reminiscence, — for the Earlhamites of California do not dream and laugh away too many hours in the memories of the old, sweet days at college. It is a boast, often made, that Earl- ham begets sons and daughters for the serious business of life. The alumni in California do not belie the boast. In business thev are prosperous and. in the manifold, activities of the church and com- munity, diligent. One who attended the last session of California Yearly INIeet- ing noted the number of Earlham men and women holding re- sponsible positions. John Chawner, ' 64, was Presiding Clerk. Susan Harrison Johnson, ' 83, was Recording Clerk. The Assistant Clerk. Anna L. Tomlinson, will soon take a degree at Earlham. Aside from these the Official Reporter, the Railroad Secretary, the treas- urer of the most important board, and many influential members of boards and committees were Earlham alumni. Ex-President J. J. Mills is the able minister of ' hittier meet- ing, one of the largest monthly meetings of Friends in the world. And throughout California old Earlham students are holding such positions as Monthly Meeting Clerk, Quarterly Meeting Clerk, Clerk of Meeting on Ministry and Oversight, Elder, Overseer, etc. At Whittier College one finds Dr. W. ' . Coffin, President of the College Board, while three of the most influential members of the Board are Lydia J. Jackson, ' 72; Dr. Lindley AI. Greene. ' 78; and Caleb E. Cook, ' 98. In the faculty are found Emory Ratclifife, ' 03 ; and Harry N. Wright, ' 04. Several other Earlham alumni have held positions in the Whittier faculty during recent years. . t Berkeley, just across the bay from San Francisco, a salt- ing of Earlhamites may be found. Dr. Pliny E. Goddard, ' 92, is a Professor in .Anthropology in the L ' niversity of California. W. C. Woodward. ' 99. holds a po. ' ition in the History department and is a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophv. Mead . . Kelsev. student ' 84- ' 85, president of the first Earlham Y. M. C. . .. is pastor of the Berkeley Friends ' meeting. And the end is not yet. There are at least thirty-five Earlham alumni living in California, — one good-sized graduating class. — and the name and fame of them all would fill a whole S.arg. .sso, make mad the editor and swamp the business manager. So here endeth the first lesson. Tlic second lesson is just this, that the Earlliani ahinini in CaH- the shores of the Pacific. Hut the Earlham spirit reaches. . nd here fornia. havinsj thus discoursed solemnly upon their own prowess, goes, back across the mountains and deserts and plains, the best wish to send greetings to their fellows everywhere, and to the dear wishes and the best love of the Earlham . rgonauts in California.

I Earlliani and The Oregon Trail F fond recollection of certain of Professor Dennis ' chapel talks of some ten years ago betrayeth me not, Kipling sings exultantly of England ' s far-flung battle line . And. con- cerning our own selves, lest we forget the scope of Earl- hatn ' s sphere of influence, it is the purpose here to show how the Earlham leaven is working far out on the shores of the North Pa- cific — in the land secured by American hardihood and courage which took their way in the picturesque forties along that far-reaching historic highway of both romance and privation — the old Oregon Trail. Distances are magnificent with us, making an Earlham club impracticable ; yet we feel bound together b}- those mystic chords of memory wdiich make all Earlhamites as one. Indeed I have often wondered if we on the Earlham frontier do not the more dearly cherish the memory and associations of the old days, from the very fact of our isolation from our Alma Mater. What, that you brought from your college life, do ou value most highly? is not an infrequent question. From a vantage view of ten years, my reply is — a little red book, insignificant, having no money value whatever, but which money could scarcely buy. It contains merely the short and simple annals of an Oregon boy ' s everyday life amid new surroundings and among new friends — but as its pages open before me they breathe the very spirit of the typical, joyous, earnest, wholesome Earlham life. Hardly a cir- cumstance was too trivial to find its way into the unpretentious chronicle, which thus brings before me the college life in all its phases. What memories cluster around the old Dorm ! I turn the old leaves, reminiscently, tine present falls from me, and again I am in old 456 , digging away on tomorrow ' s work to the accompani- ment of sputtering gas and the unforgettable aroma of steam es- caping from the old radiator. A few more pages, and Mrs. Katy, bless her good soul, enters with motherly ministrations. Now, I am scufifling in a lively floor scrap : now in the midst of a students ' social ; now hurrying from the dining table with a mince pie under my coat, followed by the suspicious eyes of matron and less pie-ous companions ; reveling in a neighbor ' s room in an impromptu jolly- up, suddenly subdued liy the decisive tap tap of an imminent gov- ernor : retrace my way again, with friends, along the old walks and paths about old Earlham ; again go through the excitement of a stormy Ionian session. A few more leaves and I am being initiated into Eartlham ' s first and only Greek letter fraternity — the Alpha Gamma Kappa (alias Squeedunks , thanks to Guv Barrett), of which Harlow Lindley was the Alpha and indeed has remained to become the Omega. Now I am collaborating Earlliaiiiitc copy ; desiring to sport , I experience once more that well known sinking sensation which follows the putting in of a call on the West side for an interview in the parlor. As friends pass before me in review, there are the names of some who are no more seen but who live again in lives made better by their presence : Miss Moon, whose ministrations both cured and cheered; jovial, sunshiny Bob Shoemaker; true, whole-hearted Ed Bundy ; popular, manly Bert Chapman ; Carl Cox, quiet, gentle- manly ; Earl Widup, impulsive and brilliant ; and dear old Professor Hodgin, the prince among good men. The idea used to be rather prevalent at Earlham that Clregon doesn ' t raise much but prunes and umbrellas. To refute this heresy, gently but firmly, the follow ' ing summary is submitted in evidence of the fact that, though we be few and scattered, the Pacific North- west presents a good showing of Earlham orators, editors, society presidents and athletes, and of sons and daughters who have made good since. 1871 — Daniel W.

We were Earlham boys and girls anew for an evetiiiig and l.ilks, stories and songs carried ns back in memories sweet to those happy days when yonth knew no real trouble and our souls were blest forevermore with teaching that was kind and wise. We were like children of one family sending love home. Thev would be ingrates indeed who could not possess this sentiment after having once breathed the atmosjihere of that Quaker college. Of course, we came now from various walks and experiences of life and bore the little difficulties most gladly, in getting together at a designated time and place for reunion. Any gathering of the kind will naturally entail some inconveniences upon a portion of the members, but we recommend the habit of attending the annual neighborhood Earlham banquet, for the reason that it is both a good and a pleasant thing to do. . meeting of old students is a little testimonial to the spirit which actuates the founding and continuance of such an institution, and recognizes the wisdom of the Friends ' Yearly Meetings, the I ' loard of Tru.stees and the College Faculty. Loving tribute is paid to those teachers who, mostly unselfish, generous and devoted souls, seek no worldly ends of their own, but underpaid, give their lives so religiously for the good of others. We could review the names of those who have passed awa - from this labor, and we recall easily those who teach at Earlham now. To each sincere man and woman we pay our most respectful regards. To the boy and girl within those halls we send fraternal greeting. You are fortunate. Enjoy tlie time spent there and profit bv it. Those precepts are the best. . s for us, we are ,L; oing to school still. ' e have found that the College course was not the finishing, but niereh ' the preparatory in the school of life. It is the story of the Chambei-ed . autilus. ( )f otir homes, business and travels, of our thoughts and view ' s we could write you a volume, but these lines are for just one little space in the S. ut;. .sso to assure you, reader, that we are with you in spirit and have most loving thought l ir our dear . lma .Mater.

Mistor ' of Senior Class Seniors arc we and verily the shades of the prison house arc fast closing about us. Soon we shall go forth from these classic halls, to teach the young idea how to shoot, for most of us are pedagogues. Doubtless we shall attain to great honor, for when we look at the rec- ord of our college career ! ' Tis true we have decreased in numbers since we entered Earlham. Iiut the fittest have survived, and the fittest of such a bunch as that are fit for almost anything. After four years, the gallant band of seventy- three that entered has been sadh- reduced b ' matrimony, cans and other untoward agencies until it is only by the presence of several who did not enter with us that we can muster fifty members to commemorate our Alma Mater ' s fiftieth birthdav. It seems but yesterday since we, after due deliberation with Prexy, as to whether to take Solid Geometry or Music, matriculated and felt as if we were really members of the college. And with what wonderful and varied experiences were those first few weeks filled ! The first meals in the dining room, the regular how-do-you- do ' s , the pretty waiters, chapel, yelling, football, reception, sporting. Yearly Meeting, all are mingled in a golden haze, and the delight of that first Sunday morning walk will never return. The good old days ! What times those were ! Class scraps, rubbing, tubbing, breaking a man ' s door down if he refused to open it, kidnapping, hair cutting, all sorts of stunts which would now be branded as the worst sort of misdemeanors. Truly, truly, this is a worthless and retrograded generation. But alas! we now file into chapel and fill the front seats as sedately as } ' ou please. We never read letters in chapel nor break any of the rules of this glorious institution, for we feel that we must act as models for our inferiors. And Dignity? Great chunks of it. But ' tis not alone bv this that we are distinguished. ( )urs is the largest class that has ever graduated from Earlham. It is one of the strongest in scholarship, athletics and social activities. We had five E men on the football squad last fall, four on the basketball squad, several point winners on the track, several on the baseball team, including the battery, and most of these teams have been captained the past two years by members of the class of 1909. We have not, as a class, distinguished ourselves extraordinarily, but if good, solid work counts for anything, the class of ' 09 has done its duty. ' e entered in the old days w ' hen Bimdy Dorm and the Library were not ; we have seen, in the short time we have been here, a steady increase in the number of students and members of the faculty, a broadening of the curriculum, the growth of a feeling of comradeship and mutual helpfulness between the students and the faculty, and as we leave our Alma Mater, it is w-ith the wish that she ma)- ever continue to grow and prosper. The majority of the clan are pedagogues but there are also a few engineers and representatives of other professions. HiSTORI. ' iN. WALTER .M. r.. TCin ' :i.( R, Winchester. B. S., Civil Engineering.

He came among the sages in embr ' o, who entered Earlham in the memorable September of 1905. His favorite pastime is singing Clementine and during Library school, talking with the girls. When these prove insufficient, he dives into the midst of the intricacies of some French novel or German song. The vivacity of his manner, his mental acumen, his keen and witty refutation of any attempt at an unfair version of his acts, have left their impression on all our minds. Here ' s to John Wesley and llie One of his choice. J. EVELYN REEX ' E, Valley Mills. . .B., German. V. W. C. A. (r)(2)(3)(4); Phoeni.x (1) (2) (3) (4), Secretary (SI), Vice-President (F4) ; Secretary Class (SI). Thesis — Parziral. Evelyn received her preparatory training in the Plainfield Academy. Along with several young friends and under the guidance of a big brother, she entered Earlham. Since then she has gone among us in her sweet and un- assuming way, making friends at every turn. Her calm dignity is rarely if ever disturbed, and if she ever lost her temper she found it again so quickly that few of us ever discovered the loss at all. She is a good student, a pleasant acquaintance, and a sympathetic friend. If you don ' t believe in her loyalty, just ask the neat little Purdue pin which she always wears, for its secret.

Longfellow and Bayard Taylor. Five feet seven inches, of commanding dignity, and a face that shows persistent determination. During her Senior year she has added to her ample stock of knowledge by learning how to skip (we don ' t believe this means a barn dance). Her reputation is so established that we are not afraid to trust her with anything which requires business or executive ability — even to the position of Lal - Principal.

Caleb hails from the land of Dixie but is a Yankee by birth and heart, if he ever liad one. The only dominant feature about this fellow, save his innate peculiarities, is his tranquil-turbulent dull-witted disposition. His favorite song is You Can ' t be a Friend to Everybody and it Ain ' t no Use to Try. He ran a mile and a half one evening in spite of all his room mate could do. His one concern last fall was to vote for the Great Commoner which he Mnv.s he did, l)ut only after he and the Snpe both had been forced to swear. VERNE FRANK SWAIM, Bloomingdale. B.

Yes, for only as a Senior has he shown the least signs of appreciation for our eo-education. He may embroider some, since he often speaks of Floss and a member of his Northern surveying gang has suggested that he charter a Minnesota Mail Express.

Class of 1910— As Freshmen History of the Junior Class O virUious Modesty, let us first secure you as our guide. Let no one doubt ; fair iNIodesty has ever hovered ' round the Jun- ior ' s brow. The scribe sliall write no word that has not first been heralded by every tongue. And yet he fears, for many hidden, yet heroic deeds do plead with him for no- toriety. In autumn of the year of nineteen hun- dred six. Dame Earlham was most singular- ly blessed. Such blessings come but once in a decade: the Class of Xineteen Ten knocked on her door. She lodged us in her ancient Hall, — we were the last to have that privilege : we got the last ofiicial rub that e ' er was given man within that Hall. Old Earlham slept awhile, thinking, when she awoke, to find our class acclimated. She awoke, indeed, but it was our class awakening; ztr iccrc Earlham. You doubt it? Then we quote: On football team, si.x men ; two men in basketball : four of the baseball team : three on the track team : one tennis man and one debater. The first year thus; still we had only stirred; the real awakening was yet to come. Thus far we had allowed our little brothers to compete with us. What of the second year? The Earlhamitc was ours. We fur- nished seven debaters. Consternation reigned supreme. Competing colleges now saw that for three years their goose was cooked. No more goose eggs, they cried, What shall we do? Our class was generous and sent a few. The third year? And here our modesty o ' erburdens us. Yet still stern duty urges on the scribe. Our orator, debaters four, our athletes, our sports — where are their equals? We claim thev cannot be found; yea, we do swear our horrid swear. By old Wet JVaync, they can ' t be found. - nd this, our book, if it praise, too, the Junior ' s name, remem- ber he must needs be dumb, who does it not. Now glance once more at our mo,st noble faces, and with that inspiration, turn ye — turn ye, and resolve to model after us, — the Class of Nineteen Ten. HlST0Rr. ' N.

Eunice has not jjeen with us every term for part of the time her presence has been needed in her native town of Amboy.

Owing to specific instructions not to mention her case , and since our Pearl is so precious that she must be constantly hedged about with the tenderest care, we will follow instructions.

In the first period I ' larlham had a brilliant reinrd. wii ning eight out of the ten debates. I ' .esides these Marlham hail two girls teams both of them winning unanimouvly. In the year l ' KX -7 Ivarlham. Wabash and i ' .utler fc.nneil a Triangular League in which each school debates the other tw . all the debates being held the same night. I!y thus having an atlirm- ative and a negative team which can debate together, more efficient preparation can be made than with but one team. In the six debates in which Karlham has participated while in the le.iguc she has only two victories to her credit. However, we owe it to the teams to say that, without any (|uestii n, this does not tell the whole story. In the first and third years both were really winning teams, althougii we admit that the two defeats of last year were desi-rved. This year the (piestion was, Resolved that I , . s.

The affirmative team, com|M sed of Pennington, Oeii- nian and Mi rris. went to lUiller where they put up a great debate. .Munis, tlu ' (inly I- ' reshman on the teams, showed up remarkably well. .iMil Ion nianv good things cannot be said about the excellcTit wnrk nf Denman and Pennington. The decision was two to one in favor of P.utler, but it is only stating the general opinion of the whole audience when we s:iy that l- ' arlham snowed them uuiler. . 1- Ihough it is never the jiolicy of Marlham to complain of a just defeat, it is only stating the truth when we say that the decision was a rank injustice and nnexplainable from a just standpoint. Morris ' speech alone, if unrefuted, hould win any debate, and they did not attempt to refute any of it. Dentnan ' s first siieccli was especially convincing, and, acconling to every one except two judges, Penning- ton in his last rebiutal put the finivhing ti uches to a clean and complete victor) ' . The debate with Wabash at home was very satisfactory to every one, Wabash indudeil, who were very gratified as well as sur- prisi ' d to get their one vote. The Karlhani men had a very well organized debate, with excellent team work and strong argument. Their previous hard work and careful traiTiing had its effect and made them thoroughly at home in every phase of the subject. Nicholson wade l into the contest with his usual characteristic clis- play of spirit and energy and, although his first speech contained strong logical argument, it was in his stirring rebuttal that he starred. I ' an(|uher in his (piiet. forceful way gave strong con- vtructive argtunent and ripped things in rebuttal. P.oth of Captain llaworth ' s speeclies were hard-hitting rebuttal and his convincing manner, together with his usual tact and skill, was very effective.

It possesses that care-free, happv-go-lucky at- titude peculiar to youth. And vet upon occasion it has the mark of age. a real and true wis- lom. ( )nc instance of the latter will be noted by the college world when a newlv bound dic- tionary of the English language makes its appearance in I rof. Wm. . Trueblood ' s room. However, as a rule, -Anglican is in need of a guiding hand and during tlie strenuous winter days, days of faculty bob-sled rides ( days usually set aside for important faculty meetings on the Green Carpet ), days of ' toil and nights of oil, it finds that guide in the person of Miss Anna Moore and her two assistants, Miss Edna Hockett and Carl .Ackerman. ' ithout doubt this child is receiving a most cultured bringing up. It will make a difference to -Anglican whether its lessons are well pre- jiared, whether its due are paid, whether its attendance on all duties is regular, ami whether it goes to sleep or keeps awake on its nights of per- formance. This year it takes great pleasure in the stuih of The Limbo Circle of ihc Shakespeare Plays. For two years it has had especial delight in original productions.

These articles have had a wide range of subjects and have been very valualile in giving opinions of modern Latin scholars. The club has again undertaken the study of plays and ln ' pe to be able to give a practical demonstration of this knowledge at some future date. The meetings are bi-monthly and there is as little formality as iMissible. I ' rof. Chase invited the club to his home for its first UKCting this year and of course a delightful evening was spent. The Latin ganes played were a source of much entertainment and also much chagrin since each one was forced to display his lack of knowledge.

Aside from those branches of athletics in which intercollegiate contests are held, gym- nasium work of various kinds occupies an im- portant place in the athletic world at Earlham. The work this ear was carried on under more favorable conditions, since steam heat had been installed in place of the old gas stove and the air could be kept pure and warm. Classes were held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from three to four-thirty. Coach ' ail being director. The work done consisted of march- ing, the U. S. Navy setting up exercises, appa- ratus work of various kinds, and recreative games. One thing which the old students missed was the basketball games which two years ago formed such a prominent and inter- esting part of the work. The floor had to be given over to the varsity squad at four-thirty, and thus only a few men received the benefit of basketball. Director Vail was ably assisted in the work by squad leaders, Winslow, P. Brown, Roberts and Cox. .Ml the boys in school have been divided into two divisions, the Whites and the Yellows, which compete against each other in all lines of athletics except football. In the Fall of 1907 Coach Vail, assisted by some of the most prominent athletes, inaugurated the system and it has been a unique, as well ris popular, part of our athletic system ever since. The Whites won the championsliip the first year by defeating the Yellows in everything but baseball and the novice track meet. Co.Mii V. ir. This year they have won in soccer, track classification, and cross country runs, while the Yellows have taken basketball, leaving base- ball and track to be decided later this term. Everyone in school is urged to take part in at least one of these various lines and thus everyone has the opportunity for good phys- ical development. .Another advantage of the system is the fact that all available material is gotten out under the notice of the coaches and better varsity teams can thus be developed. Throughout the Winter term cross country runs are taken reg- ularly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Regular leaders are appointed and the squad varies in number from a half dozen to twenty or twenty-five. .At first the work consisted in short and easv runs, but later, runs of five miles f)r more are taken over The Oi.n Gvxi tin- nilliiij; lanil surnnniclinjr the colU ' fjc. I- ' iin ilislanii- track run- ners arc kijit in traiiiinfj in this way and tlic runs furnish jfixxl ixiriisc I ' nr llinsc not taking basketball or ffvni work. L oadi ail has also instituted the fjanic of soccer, or association football as it is sometimes called. This is |)layed durinjj the Winter term and furnishes the best of exercise as well as interesting sport for several men. This year a concrete dani has been built across the little stream at the old railroad grade in the rear of the college groiinils. and ue iiou have an excellent and convenient skating pond. We have gotten but little benefit from it thus far however, as there was ice but once during the past year. This is the only branch of athletics here in which both sexes engage. It is open to everyone. The regular work in (lirls ' . thletics is conducted in the gyni- iiasium. The idea of the management in this is to train them, not for public contests, but f( r health, strength and grace of movement. The classes are held regularly twice a week during the I ' all and inter terms, and the first month of the Spring term. The work consists largely of exercises of a vigorous nature based upon the Swedish system, including floor work and work with the heavier apparatus, calculated to give strength and absolute l)i)dilv contri l. This is su|iplemented by work in Ivxpressive I ' hvsical Culture, which fosters grace and rhytlim in bodily movement, being given in time to piano music. Artistic drills are also given with light apparatus, such as dumb-bells. I!v way of diversion, there are many interesting games played, ba.sketball being the most popular. In this sport the classes line up against each other, but no match games are jilayed against other .schools. . t the close of the Winter term an ( Ipen Day is held, to which all the girls of the .school, the ladies of the faculty, and inter- ested frieiuls arc invited. This day is merely an exhibition of the regular gymnasium drill, with no attempt at preparation as for a special event : hence, it gives the patrons an idea of the actual work given in this department. .Miss Marshall is the instructor in this department, assisted by Miss Tomlinson, with Mi.ss ICdna TrueblcKxl as accompanist. The luost of the Spring term is devoted to tennis, there being well-kept courts where the girls may enjoy this most wholesoiue out- of-dtx r exercise. rilK ri-.. M CF- Men) t ' .M ' T.

( )nly about half the old men were back but there was plentv of ex- cellent new material. Without handicap, Coach ' ail with his untiring energy and knowledge of the game could probably have developed a winning team. The unsuccess- ful season of winning only two out of seven games was without doubt due chiefly to the fact that some of our best players were un- able to play owing to injuries which they received early in the season. We had only four days to prepare for the first game and consequently hard practice started from the first. As a result Hancock, Larrance, Bruner and Captain Harrell, who would compare favorably with any four men in the State, re- ceived injuries which kept them out practically the entire season. Thus we were wonderfully handicapped Ijy not having our two best ends and two most experienced halves. Owing to too many and sometimes unnecessary changes in the line-up, only three men- Stanley, center; J. Jones, half; and White, full— played every game m the same position and this accounts for our ragged team work. However, if clean sport, grit and dogged determination count for anything, and we take that as a standard, the team was a credit and an honor to the school. The spirit of Earlham athletics is whole- RRFJ.L, Caplain some, honest, clean, more nearly the Oxford spirit of sport for sport ' s sake only, and this year ' s football team, although always playing a hard, determined game to win, was typical of the F.arl- ham spirit. To take a glimpse of the season, after defeating Antioch the team went over to Purdue and held them 11 to in the first half. The halves, 30 and 25 minutes, were too long that early in the sea- son and Purdue piled up 28 points in the next half, scoring most of their touchdowns in the last ten minutes of play. In a poorly played game we defeated Franklin, but, owing to a gift of five points from their referee, Wittenberg beat us 9 to 6. Butler furnished the sur- prise party of the season when they walloped us to the tune of 31 to 0. The team yent into the Rose Poly game with entire lack of con- fidence and 22 points were rolled up against them in the first half. In the second half the Quakers took a brace and put up a great fight, tlic score being 4 to 4, with the Quakers having the whip hand. The DePauw game was the most exciting and best played game of the season. Earlham outplayed them in the first half and several times forced the ball to within a few yards of the goal but was unable to put it over the line. The DePauw team was very glad to get its 10 points in the second half. The contrast of this season with last year ' s is worth noting. Last year Earlham scored two and one-half times as many points as her opponents, whereas this year the total Earlham score was only one-fourth that of her opponents. Next year, by getting an earlier start and conciliating Dame Fortune, we hope to reach again the true Earlham standard. THE TEAM i E Winiurs) HoTCiiKiss (Captain), l- ' oncard. Conrad, Foncurd.

The first game was with t J . nliocli and the (Juakers had no trouble ill winninij. .Vvl . Tebbett ' s foul goal throwing was the feature of the game.

I- ' arlham played Wabash and was ilefeated on her own IliMir for the first time in two years. Captain Ilotclikiss was out of the game with a had ankle, and with TebWlts ill poor condition, we had little chance against -rv f ■■Wib close score of 29-22. so strong a team. However, at the close of the first half the score was 14-10, and up until the last five minutes of play vc held them to within five points. The next week the team made a trip U Tcrre 1 laute where it played State Xiinnal ami Rose Poly. The former was defeated in a whirlwind finish, 29-9, but on the following night Earlham was again beaten by Rose Pol -, 47-33. Earlham won the second half but was unable to over- come the lead which Rose had secured. In the last and best played game of the season, DePauw defeated us by the The game was close and exciting throng! )ut, the Quakers having the lead at one time. Although we lost the majority of games, it is in cresting to note that we scored 328 points to our opponents ' 313. We had an lU-round, evenly-balanced team, and a brief glimpse of the individual men is interesting, first taking up the forwards. Cap- tain Hotchkiss deserves nnich credit fo r his un- tiring efforts to build up a winning team. No one worked harder than this scra|)py forward. He is a seasoned player, fast, a clever dodger, and frequently a sensational shot, Rees, one of the Freshmen, showed up brilliantly at times but was a bit erratic. No man on the team was any faster than he and he will be a great Hill • source of strength to future teams. Conrad, our (JJJl star track man was an excellent shot, covered the floor well and was a wonder in jumping for held ball. Our three big centers were all Seniors and their loss will be felt by next year ' s team. Swaim, our big and burly fighter, was a star in a rough game but in a fast game on a large floor was at a disadvantage. Lindley is another big man and when at his best rushed the game hard. White did not win an E but in the Ilast of the season came np with a rush as a center, and diil excellent work in the DePauw game. Hancock, another veteran of last year, and captain-elect for 1909. owing to injuries deceived in football, could not play in the first two games, but once in the game he showed up in his usual excellent form at guard. He is steady, reliable, a sticker, and always does the right thing at the right time. Cornell played a scrappy game and is good either at forward or guard. He needs only more experience to be as good as the best and will be a valuable man in his next three years. Herbert Tebbctts is a hard-working guard and the best shot we had in foul goals, ffis sickness in mid-season handicapped him but he came up to his usual standaril in the DePauw game.

Each man ' s highest record was taken counting so many points toward the final -core of his oolor. Interest in the work was thus ke])t lip and in the Sjiring term ,it least twenty-fi e men lie- ,L;an regular training and practice. ( )n May 2. a dual meet with Miami was held on Keid Field. The score, Earlham 92, Miami 17, tells the whole story, namely, that Miami was completely swamped and was in evi- dence at no stage of the meet. McCiiy was the only man of the visitors to se- cure a first place. He scored 11 of Miami ' s 17 points, .securing first in the 10(1 da;li and in the discus. ( Ireat •tar sprinter and jumper from talinn b winning three firsts and two seconds. White, our star hurdler, was a close second, winning three firsts and one second. It had rained for the previous twenty-four hours and owing to the heavy track and high wind no track records W ' ere broken. In the field events Conrad raised the Earlham record in the broad jump three inches and rennington broke the discus record. The .great sliowing made in this meet promised well iVir our success in the I. C. A. L. Meet which was held on .May K). at Terre Haute. The track was in ideal shape and this, together with warm, clear weather, gave opportunity for the best work possible. It developed into a dual meet betvveen Wabash and Earlham, the former winning with 36 points. Earlham scoring 45. Rose Poly and State Normal came in down the line with 1 1 and 4 points re- S])ectivelv. The meet was one of the best ever held in the league, most of the runs being very close and exciting. Conrad proved himself to be the star of the meet, winning 18 jjoints, the highest individual score. By beating I ' .lair, the famous Wabash sprinter, in the 100 yard dash, he proved himself to be one of the best S[)rinters in the State. The 220 yard dash was the most exciting of the meet, Conrad losing to lilair only a foot. In the hurdles White showed that he is still the best hurdler in the league and probably in the State. He scored 11 points, givin.g him second place in the Earlliani individual scores. XanncN with S ]ioint bein.g thinl. It was in the field events that we lost the meet, since we led Wabash li 4 points on the cinders, and broke about even on the jumps. We won four firsts in the seven track events, whereas in all the weight events one lone second was all we could score. The meet is held at Earlham this spring and with all the point winners of last year back, except Hutlon who won tliird in the mile, we are expecting to secure the bi.g end of the score. Several men are |iutting in hard, consistent pr:ielice in the weiglUs and it is hoped that last year ' s record in these events will not be re|ieated. Summary of the I. C. A. L.

The Tennis Season of I Q08 Early in tlie Spring of last year Earlhani began Ijrc ' paring for the Tennis Tournaments to be held later. The four men try- ing for the team — Beebe. Campbell. Hollingsworth and Nicholson — were given a court for their exclusive use, and hard, consistent practice developed the ex- cellent material into a championship team. . dual meet with Mi- ami was held at Earlham on Max- 2 and Earlham was yictorious in both singles and doubles, lleebe, who had won second in the I. C. . . L. the year before, p 1 a y e d the singles and found an easy opponent in . nthony, vinning 6-2 and 6-3. P.y remarkably quick net ]ilay and accurate placing he played rings around the Miami man. In doubles Campbell and Hollingsworth, both Fresh- men, wiin the laurels from .Anthony and Robinson. Campbell ' s strong jjoint was his steady back play, while 1 Iiillingswurlh ' s low chop stroke was very effective. Beebe and Campbell were the team we sent to the I, C ' . A. L. Tuurnament at Terre Haute where they made a clean sweep against Rose I ' oly, State .Normal, and Hanover. Their hardest competition was furnished b ' Rose Poly who won the first set 6-4. but Earlhani took the next two 6-4, and 6-2. Hanover had previously beaten State Normal, so it only remained for Earlhani to defeat Hanover which she did easily. 6-1, 6-2. and 6-1. The work of Beebe was steady and quite spectacular at times, while Campbell played an unusually heady game. Their team work was excellent and their play smooth, steady and sure. The ' had developed a system which worked to perfection and which the other teams were unable to break up. C)n both the receive and the serve, whenever possible, they ran quickly up to the center of the receiving courts and by swift volley play were able to return nine balls out of every ten in such a wa ' as to completely fool the opposing team. In the singles, after five spectacular sets, Beebe lost to Uhl of Rose Poly. They broke even in the first four sets and in the last, which was a deuce set. it was nip and tuck, most of the games going deuce several times. Encouraged liy their previous success Beebe and Campbell, early in June, went to Bloomington where they represented Earlhani in the Indiana Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament, to which all col- leges and universities of the State are eligible. Here again they swept the boards clean by winning over I. U., Rose Poly, DePauw and Butler. After defeating Uhl and Hathaway of Rose in three straight sets, they met DePauw who had previously won over In- diana and Butler. DePauw gave them a harder fight, but their al- most perfect team work and their system of swift volley work at the net was again successful and they won three straight sets. Thus it was proved that Earlham had the best tennis team of any school in the State. In this tournament Campbell got second in the singles by losing to Rose of Butler, in a close, exciting tournament of five sets. Commenceiiient Week of 1908 ( i.MMEXCEiMEXT wcL-k at Karlham is the most enjoyable ■ ■ccasion of the vear. The various pleasures of the week are shared not b_v Seniors alone, who of course are in the limelight, but under-classmen, alumni, and all, forgetting e er lhin;; but their common relationship to jNIother Earlham, enter intci the spirit of the occasion. It is then that Earlham appears at Ikt liesl: the campus in its new Summer dress is a place of beauty, with its shady groves, its long stretches of beautiful green lawn, its walks and drives, lined with bushes and flowers or shaded by great arching trees ; the routine of work is over and the students are free to entertain the hundreds of visitors who throng the campus and buildings; then only the brightest side of college life is pre- sented and everyone, instilled with the joy of those perfect June days, unite in paving homage to tlieir Alma Mater. The commencement week of last Spring was a typical one in every way. The weather was ideal, the number of visiting Alumni unusually large, and all of the various occa- sions well carried out and nuioh en- joyed. The first events were the annual recitals of the departments of .Music and Elocution. The former was given on I ' Viday evening, June .t. and every number of the long ])ro- gram was very well rendered and much enjoyed. The program was given entirely by students taking work in the nuisic department, and consisted of both vocal and instrumental numbers. The even- ing ended with a song by the college chorus. ( )n Saturday night was the elocutionary recital and a large au- dience spent a delightful evening with Kipling. Several of Kipling ' s most interesting poems and stories were given by students of the department and to say that the audience was delighted would prob- ably be putting it too mildly. On the next Tuesday morning were the class dav exercises and the Seniors set a precedent by giving a play of Shakesi)eare. Here- tofore no class had attempted anything so elaborate but the class of l ' )08, believing that, if dramatic jierformances are to be the usual fcirin fur class day activities, tlio standard should at least be liiRli aivi (lie tliiii}, ' itself worth doing, resolveil In set such a standard.

The play from beginning to end was certainly an unipialitieil success, Xever was an audience more entiuisiastic and more iMi- animous in its praise. The whole cast is to be congratulated yvti the e.NCellent conception and rendering of the various parts. ( )nc seldom sees an aiuateur iiroduction so perfectly and in .sonic parts so su])erhly given.

These are held on the same night, usually the next to the last Saturday of the Spring term. They are the most important class functions of the year and the interest in them is correspondingly great. It has been the custom for many years for the Sophomore class to honor the Senior class with a formal banquet. In the past this occasion has offered oppor- tunity for an expression of the ever present rivalry between Soph- omores and Freshmen, when the Freshmen would attempt to kidnap the Sophomore toastmaster and class president. However, with the abolition of hazing this time-honored custom perished with the others, the last affair of the kind being in 1906 when the Freshmen kid- napped Cecil Calvert, the Sophomore toastmaster. Thus last year when the class of 1910 banqueted the class of 1908 everything went oflf peaceably and without friction. The banquet was held at the ' estcott Hotel on the evening of May 30. Prof, and Mrs. Dennis acting as chaperons. Perley J. Denman, as president of the Sophomore class, had the general super- vision and management of the banquet and all arrangements had been admirably made. The two classes were conveyed from the college to the hotel in a large automobile, several quick trips being made, and this drive was one of the pleasant features of the evening. Pleasant, at least, for all except Mr. Denman. who says that he had to push the large automobile with its load of thirty passengers up a long hill. After an enjoyable social hour in the parlors of the hotel, fol- lowed the feast, first a sumptuous seven-course dinner, and then the feast of toasts. Lester Haworth, the toastmaster of the evening, from first to last held attention by his sly humor and apt introduc- tions. The toast of Prof. Dennis, given in his characteristic, inter- esting and witty manner, was a fitting ending to an evening most enjoyable in every way and one to be long remembered by all present. The program follows : President of the Class — Perley J. Denman. Toastmaster — Lester C. Haworth.

The name describes the character of these occasions. Every suggestion of formality is banished an l everyone, entering into the spirit of the happy occasion, has a rolicking goo ' imie. Jackson Park was an ideal place for the frolic, with its swings, its pavilions. its lawns, and beautiful bits of wild woods, furnishing e.xcellent op- portunity for many quiet and secluded walks. .Swings, games, baseball , a special game engaged in by modest Junior maidens, and above all walks and talks, furnished entertainment and amusement. A full-handed refreshment conuiiittee rejoiceil the hearts of the liungry ])eople who were eager long before seven o ' cUxrk to partake of the splendid repast. The weather was fine, the crowd large, the place plca ' -anl. the time well -pi-iit, C( ). IMK Ci:Mt-:NT ORUF. To many, one of the most, if not the most, enjoyable event of commencement week is the animal commencement drive. To those readers who have never been Farlhamites Ibis name probably con- veys but little, but for all of you who can claim this distinction, es- pecially for those who have indulged, it is luminous with meaning. As the name suggests, it consists of taking a drive, but where and who and how is the question. . s to the first of these no definite answer can be given, and as to who. any number of names would answer, but the how is certain and unvarying; the buggy always contains two people an l only two. one from each dormitory. Last vear, shortly after the close of the commencement exercises in the afternoon, a long line of buggies could be seen .swiftly moving up the main drive, each containing a youthful driver, nervous and excited, or calm and collected, depending upon whether it was his tirst or fourth experience. Hacli could be seen to stop at Karlhani Hall, take on another passenger, and then leave the campus and disappear from view, not to return until ten o cl xk. .- s to the drive after leaving the campus, the writer will have to leave it to your memory or imagination as the case may be. lOXIAN-PHOENI.X FLHI.IC It has long been the custom for the Ionian and Phrenix literary societies to unite in giving a dramatic performance of some kind during conuuencement week. Last Spring, on Monday evening. June 8. She Strxips to Conquer, by Oliver (goldsmith, was pre- -sented to an overcrowded house. The play was one of the most elal)orate ever attempted by the two societies, but the cast proved amply able for the task, and the whole was exceedingly well ren- dered. The large audience was enthusiastic in its praise, which speaks well for the continuance of -uch |HTformances, and proved that, while they require nuich hard work ami valuable time, they may Ik worth while after all. The cast of characters follows: Mr. Hardrastlc Lester Haworth Mrs Mardcastlc Alice Quimbv Miss lUrdcastlr Flhrence Maple Tony Lumpkin Norman Wann Sir Ch,-irlcs Marlnwr Philip Brunex .Mr. Marlowe Ripert Stanley .Mr. Hasiings Vincent Nicholson Diggory James Eaton Dolly Margaret Hampt on Landlord Silas Favquheii I . CrLTY KKCT.rTIOX One of the im| ortant and pleasant social events of the year is the I ' .iculty Reception to all students and Richmond alumni, given in the Winter term. This year it was given on Saturday evening, Feb- riiarv twenty-fifth, in the second fl M)r of the library. The general arrangement of this fl xir makes it an excellent place for such a reception, and decorated, as it was. with national flags. Earlham colors, anil palms, it presented a very artistic appearance. Much of the formality and tediousness criticized in past receptions was absent and everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time. In the latter part of the evening pimch was served by girls of the lower classes. A pleasant feature of the reception was the excellent music furnished tlimuj liont the cveniu! hv a Richmond orchestra. HALLOWE ' EN SOCIALS The old Earlham custom of Hallowe ' en entertainments being furnished alternately by the boys and girls is still in vogue. The autun-in of 1907, it being the year for the boys to act as hosts, the girls anxiously awaited the night having no clew to the plans ex- cept an invitation to the gymnasium at an appointed hour. Here they were blindfolded and then led o er a very circuitous as well as alarming route, over the campus, and through the basement to the first floor of Bundy Hall, which was elaborately decorated to suit the occasion. The firing of bombs and skyrockets, electric rail- ings and springy paths made the trip very exciting. The evening pas.scd quickly in the usual entertainments of such occasions and many new and original ones beside. It was the first time most of the girls had seen Bundy and the evening was especially interesting on that account. Later in the evening a sumptuous repast was served. In till ' autumn of ' 08, the girls being hostesses, the boys went anxiously to the designated places over the campus where they were to meet the other members of their clan . From there each clan slowly wended its way to a grove, some distance from the campus where large camp-fires had been lighted. The evening was .spent in roasting apples and marshmallows. seeing the weird acting of an ap- propriate farce, and enjoying a picnic supper. S.XTL ' RDAY NIGHT SOCIALS No description of the social life of Earlham would be complete without mention of the many Saturday night socials that occur about every two or three weeks. These are under the auspices of the two Christian .As.sociations and are arranged and managed by a commit- tee appointed for the pur])Ose. The .socials are held in the .students ' parlor in Earlham Hall and everyone of the college community is invited. , reception to new students is given at the beginning of eacli term, and then several others of a less formal nature and with a definite program follow throughout the term. These have lieen verv instrimicntal in jiromoting the social life of the college and creating a feeling of mutual friendship among all the students. The Earlham socials have become widely known and much copied among the Christian .Associations of other colleges, and the committee of the past year is to be congratulated upon its faith- ful and excel! t work. D.W I)( )I)r,ER I ' LAV Last term a decided innovation was made in the dramatic world at Earlham. It was the presentation of an elaborate and very well e.xecuted play b)- the Day Dodgers. They had made their arrange- ments and done their practicing quietly, and wdien Esmeralda was presented to a very large audience on the evening of March 1 ' ). it was a wonderful surprise to everyone. To say it was well executed does not begin to do it justice. A proper conception, as well as the playing of several of the parts, must have been difficult, and many of the scenes must have been extremely hard to present properly, but in every case the work was of a gilt-edged nature. In the writer ' s mind it would be almost impossible for another cast of amateurs to present the play more admirably. .Any personal mention would probably be unfair unless one took up each one of the cast, since all were equally e.xcellent. However, Mr. Elliott is to be especially congratulated upon his clever im- personation of the dialect of a North Carolina farmer, and Mr. Beebe ' s imitation of a French count would be hard to beat. .A list of the ca.st follows : Old Man Rogers, North Carolina 1-arnicr Frank Ki.i.idtt Lydia Ann Rogers, his wife AucE L.vnninc Esmeralda, his daughter Bessie Jones Dave Hardy, a young North Carolina Farmer Herbert Tebbetts Estahrook, a man of leisure John Smvser Jack Desmond, an American artist in Paris Rrock FAn.

A blue-bird warbled joyously in a thorn bush, for his mate sat on a wee. round nest in the top of a hol- low post near the flood-gate listenin.g. Clear Creek murmured quietly — yet here and there rippled over fos- siled stones in irresistible gurglin.gs. The Great Elm. so stately and so handsome, had long loved the Little Stream. Many seasons he had spread his great arms protectingly over her. He knew her and loved her in all her the aiituiiiii. when slic iiKiveil ill an aimless fashion, even melancholy at times, knowing that very so n n 1 )ld Winter would cage her up and shut her from the sunshine. But in spring, then was when the I ireat Elm loved her most. It was then she was full of vim and sparkle, full lit vigor and joyous life. It was then, tiiii, that the dainty blood-root and the shy anemone nodded to her lov- ingly as she passed. It was then young men and maids tarried on her banks. And it was then she loved the Great Silent Elm. lUit linw euuld the (ireat Elm kii.iw tlli !

Perhaps if he had been oniething other than a tree she had She we.nt qlietlv on her w.w 203 carcil. Had lie bL-cn a gay. young cardinal, he might have won her by his beauty. Or if he had had a voice like the sincere brown thresher, niavbe he could have lured her with sweet music. I ' ut as it was. always she ripi)led happily on. yesterday was forgotten, to- morrow not thought of. and today full of joy. r.ut today, this May morning, there was a sliaduw that dulled her sparkle. It was the shadow of the Great Elm and so he went quietly on her way. fearing lest she trouble her stately lover by her giddiness and glee. llye and bye some of the World ' s |)eople came along, Thev ap- pnjached the Great Elm, patted his strong, straight body and looked him over with admiring eyes. The Little Stream grew quieter and ever more quiet until slie seemed to aliuost stop. The trees on the liill were stately in their quietness and beauty. The blue-bird on the thorn bush was still too, and the mate in the hollow post listened. The World ' s people set to work with axe. with saw and wedge. The Great Elm trembled with indignation, then as the work pro- gressed, he knew that it would be with him as it had been with all his neighbor trees. He whispered a long farewell to the Little Stream, then drew himself up in his proud and silent stateliness to await the inevitable. At last it came and with a sickening crash his huge magnificence lay prone upon earth, his head reaching across the Little Stream. With many gentle and loving touches she caressed him until thev took him awa -.

This is nothing but one of your many cases that vou get every Spring and you ' re trying to convince me and also yourself that you ' re in love. Alden spoke earnestly and determined- ly. . nother thing. Priscilla Mullens has too many real admirers to bother wdth a fickle fellow like you. Well, if you ' re through, I ' ll go. This display of .sympathy is too much for luy tender heart. Puit you ' d belter come out of it, old luan. and join us at Gray Lake this summer. Priscilla ' s going, so of course. I am, and JMiles, whistling cheerfully, left the room. .After he had .gone, Alden went over the vhole situation care- fully in his mind. Funny business, he muttered. Miles, who has had forty such experiences, is going to get the only girl I really ever cared for. Well, I haven ' t gone very far yet. and I won ' t go any farther. Miles can have the first go. And that ' s the end of it. But as he made this resolve, his heart seemed to fall to his very shoes. and he gave a long, deep sigh. 4 That evening at the club, i Iiss Priscilla Mullens was entertain- ing six of her gentleman acquaintances on tlio porch. Miles Standish, in the music room, was playing bridge with a group of married ladies, who petted, reproved and advised him according to their whims, and who liked him because he took petting, reproving, and atlvice with admirable grace. Do you know. Mrs. Green. Standish was saying, every time I hear your daughter sing. I like it belter. She certainly has re- markabk ' talent. And tn himself, Deuce of a mess. Priscilla with all those fellows and I in bad evcr - time. — Yes, indeed. Mrs. Gallii|i, Washington is delightful. One of Priscilla ' s admirers of tlic evening was John .Mden. and, after the others had gone home, he, with Standish. took Priscilla home in the latter ' s new Thomas . Gee. what a drive, exclaimed .Standish. when thev had reached their apartments, peach of a night, bully roails. and the dearest girl on earth, with nobody to butt in. Wasn ' t I butting in? Lord, no; if yon hadn ' t been there, I might have done something desperate. Hot weather came, . lden still cherished his secret ; his lo alt - to Standish would never let him speak. In July. Standish joined Priscilla at the quiet, unfashionable Gray Lake, and for the first time in his life, seemed really serious. Alden kept manfully to himself, and gave his friend free way. For four weeks he stayed in the hot city, living at the club and working with a constancy unfamiliar to himself. Then came the telegram from Aaron .Standisli, former guardian of his nephew. Miles. Miles .Standish and Priscilla were sitting on the piazza of the Hotel Eagle one hot evening wdien a carriage drove up, and .Mden ' s familiar form was seen. Jack, old boy, exclaimed his chum delightedh . cm top of a little cry of surprise from the girl. But after the first greetings were over, and the three were .settled down in a remote corner of the porch. .Standish noticed an unaccu-stomed nervou.sness in his friend ' s maimer. Gee. I wonder wliat ' s up, he thought to himself, and for the fir.st time in his life, he wished Priscilla were not present. After- wards, he could have kicked himself for his lack of eiirdialit - when she started to go. When she had left, there was a short silence, then .Standish broke out : ' ell, what is it . 1 can tell b vour actions something has gone wrong. I can stand it: go on. Well, it ' s just this. Vour uncle has failed and he telegraphed to me because you neglected, he said, to give him vour address. He wants _ ou to come to Pay Cit - immediateh ' if you can. Your interests will be good if you get there quick enough, and. although it isn ' t a bad smash, he will have to hustle a little. Standi.sh sat silent a moment. . 11 right, he said, composedly. I can leave on the 11 :10 and get there at five tomorrow evening. I haven ' t treated uncle quite .square, latelv. John . lden was as nnich sur]irised as any one that he didn ' t go back to Xew York the next day. and he was ashamed to own his own weakness, but — Gray Lake and Priscilla offered too much enticement for his masculine nature to resist. And. as if l- ate had intended it, he simply stepped into StandLsh ' s place. All day long he was with Priscilla. There was rowing. dri ' ing, fishing in the day time, dancing and beach frolics at night. Yet all this time Alden did not give one hint of love-making, not a trace of it did Priscilla see in the enthusia.stic, good-looking young chap always near her. .She liked him becau.se he could do things beside tell her abnut her eyes, and because he was frank and clean and honest. She liked him because he was sincere and thoughtful, be- cause he could talk, and talk well. And meanwhile, .Alden was by no means indifferent to the glori- ous creature with whom he rowed and danced and talked. He loved her beauty, her daintiness, her poise. He admired her earnestness, and gloried in her purity. In the midst of this delightful companionship, . lden received a lengthv and carefully ex])ounded telegram from Miles Standish.

Tell how much I love her — you are clever at that sort of thing — and wire me the answer. ' ' our reward is best man in June. If he did this, and Priscilla accepted, all was lost. ( )n the other hand, if he did not, he would prove himself cowardly and disloyal, and although he was a lover, he was still a man. He was not the fellow to meditate hours over what he knew he ought to do, nor to hold back and delay when he saw his course. He adored Priscilla, but so did Standish. He wanted to he happy, hut chose that his friend be happier. And that very evening he had his opportunity. They were out rowing after the hot dance and Priscilla was asking when Miles would be back. Do you miss him, Priscilla? Y — yes, you are a very good substitute, though. Miles would like to be here, Priscilla. went on Alden, unheed- ing her remark, he wants to say something that I have to say for him. He is a dandy old boy, and my best friend. He has told me. Priscilla. that he loves you best of all, and he wants to ask the old. old question. Do you think enough of him to — to — his heart failed him for a second, but only for a second, and he went on, to marry him ? Priscilla was perfectly still for a moment. ( )ne hand was idlv splashing in the glistening water ; her hair was sparkling in the shimmer of the moon. As .Mden watched her. his whole soul cried mU against Fortune that had place l him in such a position. But John. Priscilla was speaking. I don ' t love Miles enough for that. I am fond of him, he ' s a dear, but I couldn ' t marry hiiu. lie ' s the best fellow going, and he appreciates you, Priscilla. He knows what you are. that you are the lovliest creature on God ' s earth Do you believe that? With all my heart. Then — then — why don ' t you speak for yourself, John? John Alden was trying to soothe his conscience. I couldn ' t help it. She a kcd me why I didn ' t and I did. She doesn ' t love him. anyway. I am insanely happy, but Lord Harry, poor old Stand, ril not wire for a while. He won ' t know how soon the chance came, and maybe he ' ll get sick of the suspense. I think he ' s really in earnest this time, though. After three weeks of Paradise at Gray Lake. Hotel Eagle closed and the small colony went back to gay old Xew York. Lettah, sub.

Well, now, I see we ' re not getting a-hold of this as we should, h -. 1 believe I could scare you into saying almost anything. Pretension he placed first among all things to be ab- horred. Few- people ever blufifed twice in his classes ; for there he would sit on the arm of his chair, fine head thrown back, lips pursed between thumb and forefinger, calmly waiting for someone to finish telling what he didn ' t know-. And then he would usually administer his rebuke quietly and simply, although sometimes all the vehemence of bis grand old soul would burst forth in words which we can never fiirget. In a few well-put sentences, he w-ould picture all the grief of a mother ' s heart, all the disappointment in a father ' s life, over a child of deceit and worthlessness.

He distinctly remembered having seen men, whom be thought most competent, fail utterly when met by tbe wiles tbat haunt the jr ler of Miscellaneous Business. - cold sweat broke over him as be recalled a peculiarly distressing scene. A suave Senior witb a well fed. well groomed api earance ; one apparently designed to direct bis fellow men : one, it might be sup- | osed, sufficiently equipped to disarm tbe Devil in a wit combat ; this man had as])ired to the position of Ionian President. Ionian, nothing loth, bad offered him tbe cb;iir for tbe evening that be might convince tbe few doubtfuls of bis fitness. . s lie took bis place be beamed upon his gathered friends much as a premier might deign to smile as he glanced at the statesmen gathered ' before him. While tbe roll was being called the ?mile remained; it remained while tlie Secretary was deposing of the routine business ; then it faded. Tbe repetition of the phrase, tbe chair begs the society ' s pardon, became a monotony. Here and there a tender hearted in- dividual knew tbat some cuticle was being most painfullv removed: but be knew, too, tbat tbe machinery of tbe society could not be stoppeil till it ran ilown of its self. There were tears in tbe eves and voice of the erstwhile contident one as he adjourned tbe societ -. lohn Wesley Perkins remembered this and be knew tbat be did not resemble in tbe slightest degree a statesman, nor was be fat and suave. In fact, he was read beaded, thin. He remembered a friend ' s remark: John, when you stand up be careful tbat you ' lont fall back over tbe chair. Yes, John knew he did not ins|)ire respect by bis apjjearance. by bad they elected bim to tbe office anywav ? He hadn ' t solicited it. He shivered and pulled tbe bed clothes closer. The turbulent March rain and weather without seemed to reflect bis depression. Again he remembered, — more hazily perhaps, for he was wearv, — of a righteous one, who also bad aspired. This man, stern of manner, dictatorial, critical, found himself President of Ionian. Flint met steel, tbe pseudo tlictator fell, the veneer of virtue was re- moved with a not too careful hand. There on the wall were their photos, characters great and small, of Ionian : they seemed to watch bim and to speculate on his chances as President.

There was a breathless silence, no one objected ; surprised at the strange procedure, the society had allowed it to pass. John Wesley Perkins arose again: We are now under the head of .Miscellaneous lUisiness. The moment had come: the time when the tests are applied.

Perkins listened attentively: Mr. President, I move that the .Marshal be instructed to serve soft drinks to the members of Ionian throughout the Spring Term meetings. Perkins smacked his lips and half unconsciously muttered, I second the motion. Without hesitation he put the question. . n unusually strong gust struck the pictures and a loud vote of .-Kye resulted. It is so ordered, cried the President: then to the Marshal, . near beer, if vou jjlease. One man in the rear of the room, a stickler for form, seemed to be objecting strenuously to this: It is contrary to the constitution, he screamed. Article 4, Section ' ) defines the Marshal ' s duties and nothing of the kind is included. It was clear to the President that a masterly stroke was needed. This man was an e. -critic of the society and he still clung to the habit then acquired, lie must be gotten rid of. With red hair bristling and pajama-clotbed limbs shaking with cold and excitement he turned to the .Marshal: The gentleman appeals from my decision, will the Marshal |)lease piU him out? The night grew wilder, an eddxing gu t entered the room, seized the wobbling picture and whiskeil it ■ml of the window. The i)aiamas assumed new dignity: their owner had triumphed.

The wind howled about the little room in its last, supremest effort. The President arose once more; he was nearly swept from the bed, but grasping the foot piece and rapping it vigorously he cried in resonant tones, I declare the society adjourned. There was a loud clatter ; the pictures were swept en masse under the bed. The storm had spent itself and the sun was ushering in a gen- uine Sjiring day. Perkins, the autocrat, gave one last glance about the room: all had gone. . very obliging Marshal, he remarked, and w ith a hap])y smile he slipped in under the warm blankets.

We found him tired out and cross. He said that he had been collecting some dope from the students at Earlham and didn ' t want to be bothered until he had counted the votes. .As that proved to be just what we wanted, we volunteered to help him nut with his job if he would give us the results. The F.WORITE PROF, was Daddy Dennis, he had 31 votes. just w ' inning out from William X., who followed with 50. The H.WDSOMEST PRUF. will ever remain an unsettled point. Russell and Charles each got 57 votes. It has been decided that a composite picture will be made from these two and sent to the National Beauty Contest. Chase was an easy winner as the MOST EGOTISTICAL PROF. He had 81 votes; Holmes followed with 33. and a brought up the rear with 2. The . E. TEST PROF, is settled upon Coffin. His dainty manner made him an easy favorite, with 120 votes. Hole ' s precise- ness won him 38. The BIGGEST FLUXKV. was captured b Prof. Ed. with 42 votes. He had a very close escape. Morrison pushed him hard, getting 40. Hadley followed with 35. As there was a great deal of rivalry for this honor it is e-x|)ected diat the election will be con- tested bv the two last named. .McXown had easy sailing in the contest for BALDEST l ' K( )F. He has been training consistently for this position during tlie last few years and won out easily with 157 votes. His closest com- petitor was Coffin with 19: Fagan followed with 1. The SPORTIEST PROF, was won by Holmes, with 103. Chase and Miss Keyes followed with 53 and 1, respectively. It is reported that it piqued Chase a little to lose out as. Sporti- est Prof. This may account for the eflfort he made to win the c(jn- test for the BIGGEST KNOCKER. He took it easily from Hadley and ( jrave with 85 votes ; they followed with 33 and 20. Xot satisfied with being the Biggest Flunky, Prof. Ed. walked off with a victory as the EASIEST MARK with 99 votes. Morrison followed him as before but this time with only 28. William X. re- ceived honorable mention here with 12. Holmes, not satisfied with his big majority in the Sportiest Prof., won out also as BIGGEST BLUFFER. His vote of 125 quite sw-amped Mendenhall with his paltry 10. William X. and Daddy Dennis again had a run in the Ml )ST ' . LL ' . 1!LH l ' R( )I . This time the result was reversed and Wm.

Holmes is thought that Kelly ' s friends stuffed the ballot box. Miss Keyes proved to be a winner as STRICTEST PR(JI ' . She made 47 votes. I!y actual count this tallied with the number in her tierman and I ' Vencli sections. .Miss Abiore followed with 34 and Hole with 28. It is notable here that Prof. Ed. got one vote. It is thought it was cast by a member iif the Bible Reading class. .Morrison here covered up his former defeats by a remarkable spurt and won out as MOST PECULIAR PROF. He had 35. Crave 34, McNown 29, Lindley 17 . It has been thought best to draw a curtain before the contest for the PROF. WHO HAS MISSED HIS CALLIXC. There were only two contestants and one of these won out cjuite handilv. Dennis won his third victory as BEST CHAPEL SPEAKER. He led with 50, Hadley f jllowed with 43.

We then passed to the men ' s cimtest. The first event, THE BEST ALL AROUND .A.THLETE was won by White with 120 votes. Hancock got 44 and Worl 1.

He still claims that he should be considered and it is thouglit that he may petition for the position of Heavenly Twin. Overman came in for his share of the glorv in this deal. His record in football won liim one loyal supporter. The BEST ALL AROUND MAN was hard to pick. Lindley and Stanley fought it out, the former winning 38 to Zi. J. Jones, Pennington and White tied for third with 21 votes apiece. The MEEKEST MAN was Meek. He had a handicap over Roberts and won from him Ki to 29. Stout ])roved to be the i ' .i( ;( il ' .ST SP()RT. He had 26 sup- porters. .Sanders folluwed with 17, and |. I ' urnas and Cope with 16 and 15. Nanney was the BICC.EST G( ). T.

The MOST POPULAR MAN was taken by Hancock ; it would seem that in this case beauty and popidarity go hand in hand. This is not the case, for Bland, the second best, didn ' t cut much figure in the beauty omte.st. Hank ' s vote was (.3. Bland ' s 18, Lindlex ' s 12 and Stanley ' s 10.

Worl doesn ' t claim to be a Ladies ' Man; we account for bis success by the fact that he has kept in touch with the biggest flirt for two years.

The news spread like wild fire and swung the votes to Beebe. who has carefully avoided all such expressions. The line-up of MOST EGOTISTICAL .M. X was a very for- midable one. Hedges, however, won quite easily with 4.v L ' om- stock was a good second with 32. P. Furnas third with 12. and ( ioho. I ' isher and Fauciuber tied for fourth with 111 each. The BIGGEST LIAR has finally been settled upon I leaton : he got 50 votes, and they give him a clear title to that honor. Goho came second with 3. . and Pennington third with 20. . ccording to the dope sheet Pennington had the thin.g cinched up to the last moment. tlien he admitted be was the biggest liar in the neighborhood and it gave him such a record for veracity that be lest the contest. In the BIGGEST BLUFFER contest there were 52 contestants. This reflects great honor on r,oho. who was able to pull . 0 votes. Beebe came second with 36 and -Xicholson third with 12.

Hedges has tried consistently to win the place and is to be congratulated upon his success. In the GIRLS ' CONTEST there was much bitter rivalry and hair |)ullin,g.

Trueblood had 11 and Miss Quiniby 9. There were 36 contestants but these three led, the first two because of their ability in planning a home away from the dorm and the last because she has bad a great many chances to develop ability.

Some have suggested that a composition picture be made of the two handsome Profs, and the three pretty girls in order that a true tyjie of F ' .arlbam beauty may be bad. Miss Maple again wins as the BIGGEST FLIRT with 4. votes. Misses Addington and King come second and third with 38 and i3. Miss . ddington having been at the college but one year deserves credit.

When tlie Census Tooker handed the Ixillots of the mixed con- test to Us he appeared to he very grave. iM-iends, this matter lieth very close to my heart, he said. You must know that I have been much concerned about the college of late. It hath been rumored that it is losing ground as a match factor) , and that the boys do not sport as they did when all lived together as one large family. I shall expect better of them in the future. Let us count the ballots. The FUNNIEST CASE was a fight from the .start to the fin- ish. Perkins had been planning to capture tliis for some time, but he erred when he divided his forces. Had he devoted himself en- tirely to one case he would have won out with ease. As it was the best he could do was tie for first. The result was Perkins and Miss L ' tterback .54, Bland and Miss 1 linson .54, Perkins and Miss Moore 8. The BEST .M ' l ' liARl XG CASE cases are said to have worked a fraud upon the public. Thev got wise to the fact that when people are seen together a great deal every one gets to consider them suited to each other, and there is only one step from that to a good ap- pearance. Vith this end in view several couples have kept together throughout almost every day of the last two terms. Chapman and Miss Jones played their cards the best and won from White and Miss Winslow 45 to 36. Fishering and Miss Addington were severely handicapped because of the fact that the cars run in a very irregular fashion out to ( lien ' iew. . lthnugh h ' ish could only get third with a vote of i2. he has nut lost heart and is planning for the next S.

The dopists hadn ' t figured on Dinger and Miss Moss. Still they got it by a vote of 41. White and Miss Winslow came next with 35: Chapman and Miss Jones and Hill and .Miss . nderson tied lor third with 31. Perkins and his friend again broke in with ' votes. The I ' AN ' ORITE EXPRESslo.N ' was determined to be Hec. . ch Lang was a close second and Oh ! Iercy third. SHALL WE CUT OUT SLANG was decided in tlie neg- ative by a large majority. It is seen by this that tlie school is not deteriorating but rather advancing. A good, juicy slang phrase is the indicator of a sound and progressive mind. There were 108 of the progressive ones to 78 conservatives. H. SH and PRUNES were long considered the onh ' real com- petitors in this race. This proved to be true, but for a time there was consternation in their camps, because a dark horse threatened to beat up on them. This dark horse was Richmond Export. It got a little late start, however, and couldn ' t make it up in the short time offered. Hash won from its companion by a good majoritv, and is now the favorite food.

Earlham Chronicles (Read hcf.i cty jii t after llic ri 1 Iv iK-ginniiii, ' there was Earlham Colletre ami this lie unto the is licit this thine liuiir ti Ilk and shrmUlst not . aniinis was witliont torni and was void of people. Darkness was on the face of man. lUit the good old Quakers said let there be a college and there was a college. .And when tlu aw that the college was good, they said we will divide the light from the darkness so that the two will not be together. . nd it came to pass that the boys were placed on the east side of Earl- ham Hall and the girls on the west; or in other words, the sheep tlioii be ])lying thy task with diligence to the end that thou niayest obtain knowledge? . nd in fear and trembling the boy answered and said unto him, I am almost persuaded that it is not right to split rails, because thou didst read this morning, after that we had broken our fast, that whatsoever God had joined together let no man cut asunder. Nevertheless, the rails were split. .And it came to pass that after teacher had ri.sen up against to the right and the goats to the left. And it w-as further decreed student and student against teacher, and after the college had waxed that the_ - shoukl eat no meat only when the sheep w ere on one side strong and mighty, it became evident that there must needs be an- of the table and the goats on the other. The only vestigual re- other building. And twenty-one years before the beginning of the maining of that decree is now to be seen in chapel. In those days reign of Taft it was decreed that there should be a Lindley Hall. It there were Freslimen, and when one of them found out about tlie was to be so many cubits in length and so many cubits in breadth decree he murmured unto the ruler sa ing, Does a man light a and so many cubits in depth, and it was so. It was further ordered candle and jnit it under a half bushel or does he set it on a candle- that the building should contain an ark and in that ark should be stick where it will give light unto all within? Then answered the gathered together a pair of all the fowls of the air and of all the father in Israel to him saving. Should a Freshman utter vain beasts of the field and of all the creepy things. . nd the Noah of knowledge and fill his belly with the east wind? Should he reason with unprofitable talk or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? Then turned the Freshman away sorrowing saying, I was at ease, but now he has broken me asunder. It is as if he had taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces. He has made desolate all my conipan . ' erily I say unto you, when a few years are come then I shall go the whence I will not return. Now in those days students were wont to work their way through school, and it came to pass that on a certain dav it was appointed unto a certain boy to split rails. .And after that he had splitted many rails asunder, he did seat himself n])on a log, a-weary of his toil. Then there happened that way the ruler and thus spake this ark is a Hole. And if any one gets to grease the spinning wheel or water the elephant, except through the Hole, the same is a thief and a robber and is cast into outer darkness. It is the duty of the Hole to furnish a means of escape to the wonderful flood of oratory w hich is daily poured out on the floor above, thus at no time in the history of the ark has anything been washed away from its gi en place in the ark, not even the dust. .And it again came to pass, after many years, that there was a meeting of that society which doth call itself The Ionian, and in that meeting there did arise a heated discussion as to whether there should be purchased some chandeliers for the lights, and after a time there did arise a Sophomore saying, X ' crily, verily I say unto you, if vc liad one of the things tlicre is not a one in the society who could play it. Xow it happened hefore the end of the reign of Roosevelt that there did spring up among our midst politicians, but before they came, came the devil. The devil said, let there be a Democratic Club and there was a Democratic Club. And it did wax strong and mighty and did spill much literature. Our posterity will rise up and call that club blessed, for its wonderful influence in carrying the nation for William How ard Taft. And it also came to pass that after this club had been born there was also born a Republican Club, and they did scatter much paper over the face of the earth and some of it fell in thorny places and some in good soil, but most of it fell into the waste basket. This club is now a part of history and will long be remembered as a ver - important factor in bringing about the election of Thomas R. Marshall. As debaters they had no equals. Gone but not forgotten. .After the election a certain man was heard saying the following over to himself; The politician is my shepherd. I shall not want. lie jiuttcth me outside the firewater. He niaketh me to lie down in the gutter. He stealeth mv gold. He leadeth me into the saloon for my vote ' s sake. Yea, though I walk through the mud and the rain to vote for him. I have only his salve to comfort me after the election. He pre])areth mv ballot for me in the presence of my better judgment. He annointeth my head with .standard oil. My cup of beer runneth over. Surely the wool hath been pulled over mine eyes all the days of mv life and Watson will be a private citizen forever and ever. . nd now that the election is over, the college is still on the same side of the road. The ■-uii has not failed to shed his light. The moon is the same color, and everything is the same except that the .so-called moon man has been transformed into the sun and the favorite son , and William J. Bryan has his potatoes almost dug ; and President Kelly has again assumed bis duties. L. C. H. W(iKTii. 10. A olil(K|uy before the Finals (Willi apologies lo Shakespeare) To cram, or not to cram, — that is the question. Whether ' tis better in the mind to suffer The fears and torments of uncertain cliancc, Or to take arms against the lot of finals, . ' nd by much cramming conquer? To dig, to cram, — No more ; and by the cramming think we end The fears, the chances, and the thousand risks That we may flunk, — it is a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To dig, — to cram ; — To cram ; then maybe flunk ! — aye, there ' s the rub ; I ' or after those wild, desperate days of cramming, If then we find that we have flatly flunked. Think how we ' ll feel : there ' s the respect That makes us doubt the efficiency of cramniiiig; ! or who would wish to sit up late to work, To rise up early in the morn to grind. To attempt the three mnmlis ' work in one short week, To worry all his friends, make grey liis liair. Fill up his hrain with endless, countless facts, Wlien he miglit rest and ran no greater risk In those his finals? Who would thus desire. To grunt and sweat over his weighty tomes. With the firm dread that something in th ' exam — Some little point that he just couldn ' t coax To lodge in his poor brain, — will catch him .sure. And make him bound to flunk as much as if He ' d never tried to cram, no. nol at all ' And thus our almost certain fate In Hunk Does make us doubt if cramming can avail ; And thus our nati e love to make good grades Is sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of fear: . nd finals we would like to pull an . in.

Oh, the fright and consternation then Were awful to behold; The destruction too was qui te enough To make one ' s blood run cold. i .nt n..t a fragment could they find. Although so well intent. For he had gone and left no sign Of where or how he went. The mystery no one could solve, No matter how he tried. For he had gone so swiftly His path was undiscried. It seemed that be was gone for good Or blown to atoms small And only left for memory ' s sake A dent upon the wall. But after all was still again. The curious gone away. They straightened up the shattered lab And wiped each trace away. There is a rumor round about That he ' s been seen since then And that his ghost comes creeping round Among the haunts of men. The news flew cast, the news flew west But as for tliat we can not say. And even to the town ; We only know he went, Reporters flocked and tried their best And now we ' re wondering every day To sift the matter down. Which one will next be sent. 232 Other Arran§eivicnt I ' m sorry — but other arrangements, How tired I get of that phrase; Out of the year it greets my ear. On all the sporting days.

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 12 (Special to the Bacoo). — One of the most masterful orations ever delivered in a State oratorical con- test was that of Earlliam ' s representative this year — and the orator was a woman. .Seven of Indiana ' s lea ding educational institutions were represented b - their best, and the contest as a whole was of high character. But though Earlham was not given first place by the judges, there is no question in the mind of any, but that in the essence of true oratorv, Miss Fenimore was in a class by herself, and not onh- out of reach but out of sight of any of the other con- testants.

Robinson, of Butler, was tlie first speaker, and he gave a very American presentation of tlie subject, ' The Diplomacy of Democracy ' . Miss Harriet W. Elliott, of Hanover, gave a fine pre- sentation of the work of Maud Rallington Booth, her subject being, ' In the Shadow of Prison Walls ' . DePauw ' s representative. Francis ' . W ' esthaver. spoke on ' The Xew Reform of Freedom ' , a study of the Child Labor problem, which was also the subject of the oration of Ignatius F. McNamcc. of Notre Dame, who was awarded first place by the judges, mainly on the strength of his thought. Howard C. VV ' hitcomb. of Franklin, had for his subject ' The Role of Our Country ' , and W ' alter H. Lynn, of Wabash, spoke on the subject. ' Democracy and the Individual. ' But to the audience there was nothing to the contest but Miss Fenimore. It was not a matter of sympatliy — in the main they did not at first recognize the problem that she was presenting, and they did not believe in the method she jiroposed to remedy the evils of the present condition. Her subject, ' The Social Revolution ' , was not one to win favor for itself. She had to win favor for it. And she did. She made the audience see the evil as .she saw it, and feel it as she felt it. .And in the power of reasoning, illustration and logic .she certainly went farther than any other orator toward bring- ing conviction upon her hearers. .And when she closed with her masterful, optimistic and stirring appeal, the whole audience turned socialist, and .she was given an ovation such as has not been re- ceived by any orator in the .State contest for many years, if ever. But the judges on thought had marked her oration too low for her to win first place, though it need hardly be said that the judges on deliverv did not place anyone above her. Mrs. F. V.

Earlham, 29 ; Indiana State Normal, 9. Saturday, February 2 . — Faculty Reception. This event was more interesting this year than ever before, perhaps because it was not conducted altogether by the Faculty. They were divided into eight groups, and the fact that they were so arranged that all of them could not be seen at once seemed to relieve the strain of the situation. Si.xteen students took turns during the evening in pro- tecting the Profs, from the eager rush of unsophisticated Freshmen and others, who crowded themselves forward into their sacred pres- ence. The special feature of the evening was Hutchens ' breaking the world ' s punch record (37 glasses), made by himself one year ago, by drinking two gallons straight.

The 10:57 p. m. edition of the Quaker City Bazoo contains the following: Earlham Lost and Won .Vdniinistered Defeat to W ' abash College at Home. While the Team That Went to Butler Lost to the Irvington Debaters. Earlham at this hour is celebrating a war dance about a blazing bonfire, and decking with crape Rooms 205, 210 and 312 in Bundy Dorm. The shouts of victory are mingling with the groans of de- feat, and tears for the affirmative team at Indianapolis are running down the ravines made in the faces of the students by the smiles for the victors at home. Wabash came, was shown, and will leave tor Crawfordsville on the first train, glad to get away with the decision of the one mis- guided judge who thought they ought to have some consolation to take back with them. There were three men on the Wabash team, which was as many as Earlham had. But though their names were as long as those of Earlham men, if not a shade longer, their tongues were far too short to compete. The visiting men were Ferdinand Francisco Tannenbaum, Earnest Benjamin Hawkins and William Agamenmon Pittinger, but that wasn ' t enough. They did their best, but ' Tim ' Nicholson shouted at them early in the game and took a lilt of their nerve. And then ' Si ' Fauquher showed them how they use language in the country where he was born and brought up, and when he got through, only two legs and one arm of the debaters from Crawfords- ille were showing, all the rest being buried under his ava- lanche of words like this: ' Why, gentlemen, it must of necessity be almost axiomatic- ally evident in the most incon- siderably develojied intellec- tual capacity, that the stability of our governmental felicity is dependent very largely not merely upon the magnanimity of the majority of the constit- uency, but upon the avoidance of that latitudinarianism and excessive nuitability that pos- CHARLES JOHANNING Contractor Plumbing, Heating and Ventilating The Bee Hive Qnocery Is the place to get vour Luncheon Goods .AT ALL TIMES to 36 Main Street, RICHMOND Phone 2144 Opposite UJcstcott Hotel Automatic Phone 1913 N.

What could Wabash do? And when ' Bush ' Haworth got started, and asked them a few- questions that the wiset man in America or Indiana or Earlham couldn ' t answer without a strain : and when he let go a veritable storm of words in his final rebuttal. — well. Wabash was just snowed under, that was all there was to it. ■ ' There was a great storm at the State capital, and the wires are all down. We have, however, secured wireless communication, and have learned some of the features of the struggle there. The wire- less message is as follows: ' At eight o ' clock began a storm of thunder and lightning and rain, with a strong hot wind. This lasted until about ten o ' clock, after which it turned suddenly cold, and all the telegraph lines were put out of commission. ' ' Earlham had three men on her debating team, and Butler had six. Earlham beat four of them, but did not pick out the right four. The members of the regular team were Clifford Browder, John .Siieigel and Fred Shortraeier. Their assistants were Judge John L. McMasters of Indianapolis, Judge Charles T. Hanna of Indian- apolis, and Brandt C. Downey of Indianapolis, to-wit, Irvington. The Earlham debaters. Homer L. Morris, Perle - |. Denman and Levi T. Pennington, defeated the first four of these, but the other two succeeded in winning for Butler. ' The report was received thus far, when the instrument in the Ba=oo office emitted the following: ' !!! — ? — !! — ? ( ??!!?■!) ! ! ' . The Bacoo operator says that this is a sure indication that some words were started that the machine could not transmit, and that the fuses have evidently been burned out somewhere, either here or at Indianapolis, and there will be no possibility of making repairs before Monday.
