Ce J y VOLUME III The Earlham Sargasso 19 14 Published By THE SENIOR CLASS OF EARLHAM COLLEGE THE SARGASSO 1914 THE SARGASSO 1914 [ THE GYMNASIUM. Since tlK- VL-ar iXjii an aik-quate gymnasium fur ICarlliam lias licen the ik-sire of an increasing number of stu ' ilents, alunnii and friends of the Col- lege. This demand has heen temporarily met at two different times, first in 1H60 when a three- sided shed with a sawdust floor, a few swinging rings, and a turning bar was built, and second in 1889 when the students carried on a campaign and raised $2,700.00 for the construction of the present gymnasium. The third step was taken in igii when the graduat- ing class decided to give $1,000.00 toward a new gymnasium. This pro- ject was given up only because of the immediate need of funds to raise the College debt, the $1,000.00 being the initial contribution of the $50,- 000.00 raised. The fourth move for the building of a gymnasium was initiated by the Class of 1914. The Class launched the campaign by a gift of $1,785.00, $1,250.00 of which was set aside to pay for the plans of the new building. The Senior Class undertook this action only after the Board of Trustees approved it. The Board stated that definite plans would be a vital factor in the early realization of the gymnasium demand that was strong- Iv shown by the many petitions received requesting them to take definite steps toward a campaign. The entire program of the campaign was turned over to the student body by the Seniors. A central committee of five, one from each class and one from the Day Dodgers, was given general supervision. A commit- tee of fifteen, three from each of these sources, composed an advisory committee. Ten clubs consisting of ten students each were chosen to present the financial proposition on the campus. These club members were assigned the remaining students to canvass and to enlist in active work during the summer. It was decided to carry on the campaign on a basis of $50.00 shares, payable in cash, or in yearly installments of $10.00 each. This plan has suited the demands of a large number of the students. On a single share basis $4,000.00 was given by the students. $25,000.00 by September 15th, 1914, is the slogan of the students. This amount will insure the early assumption of the gymnasium problem by the Board. Every student, alunuius and friend of Earlham should hcilil himself accountable for not less than one share in Earlham ' s gymnasiu.n and should present the proposition to at least three other people. The Board decided that the gymnasium should cost not less than $50.- 000.00 and insisted on a $25,000.00 endowment to cover the running expenses. .• committee composed of a Board member, three Faculty members, two of whom are alumni and two students proceeded to gather all the suggestions as to Earlham ' s gynniasium requirements that were extani. These together with the plans presented by the architect have resulted in the product that is seen on these pages. Some of the things that were demanded were : adequate accommodation for women ' s and men ' s gymnasium classes : an indoor track : a dirt floor for track, baseball and football ; showers and lockers ; offices for the phys- ical directors : a floor that will accommodate two basket ball games ; a seating capacity of five hundred; visitors ' dressing rooms; a swimming pool and a trophy room. Floor plans show a 30 foot by 60 foot class and apparatus room, a cin- der track, twenty-eight laps to the mile, a 56 ft. by 75 ft. dirt floor, ample showers and lockers, suitable offices, examination rooms, w-aiting rooms, a 56 ft. by 76 ft. gymnasium floor, a seating capacity of five hundred, so arranged as to in no way interfere with the gymnasium floor, visitors dressing rooms and a trophy room at the entrance. The swimming pool was not arranged for, since it would require an addition to the heating plant. The architect advised that it be placed beside the building and un- der a separate roof. It is the opinion of all consulted that the new gymnasium meets the needs in every particular. The ony requisite for the realization of these plans is your co-operation. .

A distindtive little swing to his walk marks him from afar. He is famous as baccalauerate and commencement speaker, and his reputation as one of the finest after dinner speakers in the state is still grow- ing, but we do wish he had more time at home for us to know him better. 1)A 1I) WORTH I)EXX! . A. .M.. Ph. D. Professor of Biology. l)a(Ul.y Dennis knows nil about everything; how the universe evoluted from chaos clear up to the Panama ca- nal; the songs of the hco.i and the birds and Ihe se- crets of the out-door w ' orhl. He is a cham))ion of peiu-c. and when •■Daildv Dennis has his way all swords sliall be turned inti. ])loiigh sh-.ires and cannons into sewer pipes. His wealth of knowl- edge, his store of fun, his dynamic personality make his classes a rare privilege. W.M. X. TRrKHLdnl) Picifessor of Litciatuic. aiul Anglo-Sa.xoM. ' ho can ever forget that fine, lenient smile that spreads over Prof. William N. ' s face when some youth- ful upstart makes a wild mistake? A grand old man, still younger than some of his students. He uses yards of chalk in giving out the truth in English; and his ]iliilosophv of life speaks for itself. KDWIX P. TIUKISLOOD, A. M. Professor iMi. the man behind the gun in oratory and debates, has a happy way of injecting so much ginger that an Earlham speaker talks with real feel- ing instead of Hot Air. His whole heart (and he has a great big one) goes into ev- ery good cause. The stndent.3 love him. HAKLIIW i.iXDI.KY.

ALLi:X 1). HDLK. A. .M., Ph. D. Professor of Geology and Curator of the Joseph Moore Museum. At first blush this tall thin man with a high voice and a larpc mustache could harillv l)i ' cx|ip.tiMl to curate the Kaillunii Mu-i ' um, head the (loology Department, and lead the Peace move- ment for Frienils in Amer- ica all at the same time, but Daddy Hole does all this and some more, besides raising a family. He is the acme of neatness and sipmre, exacting pedagogy. ELBERT RUSSELL, A. M. Professor of Biblical Litera- ture and Church History ami College Pastor. Professor Russell has a place in the hearts of the students that neither tongue nor pen can make or mar. Friend and helper to many a doubting Thomas is he. From the chapel platform or in the class room always wo get the inspiration of an earnest mind. His rare smile betrays a rare humanity. AHTHLR M. CHARLES. A. . I. Professor i f German. A tall, (luiet Tiian wl.o can hold forth in any language, French, German, or other- wise. He has the idea we came here to study and has not yet discovered his mis- take. ' EDWIN MORRISON, M.S. Professor of Physics. Jlorrison. meek-easy -going, with a drawd, is our physics jirof.. who. though trying to tighten up his courses, is liked by all. His broad, be- wrinkled, kindly face ano his as we call it will have a firm jilace in all his stu- ilcnts ' mental mcniorv books. J. HERSCHKL COFFIN, Ph. D. Professor of Psychology and Education. Our dainty, handsome Ph. D. with a strong predilection for music and good looking clothes broke quietly into the aiithoi- ' s circle recently with his Socialized Con- science. His book is being adopted in universities and colleges by leaps and bounds. Also he is the patron saint of The Glee Club. Hair thins as wisdom grows. HARRY N. HOLMES, M. S. Ph. 1). Professor of Chemistry. If you hear a Gatlinggun in chapel or a rapid-fire field piece in the cheni lab or a war drum at the head of the songs committee — that ' s Dr. Holmes. He ' s full of pep and likes to make the atmosphere tremble around him, but he has a heart and a smile, too, for human frailty, cowering Freshmen to the Contrary notwithstanding. WM. O. MENDENHALL, A. M., Ph. D. Professor of Mathematics. Another daddy in our midst! He has a thoughtful face and a quiet manner of saying things, but his eye shine forth with kindliness itself. And he has a way of getting close to Earlham boys and girls that has in- spired many a discouraged LAUREXCE HADLEY, A.M. Professor of Mathematics. Professor Hadley, with the soft smooth voice and com- fortable-looking rotundity, was once accused of being partial to the girls. That may have been because ha is unmarried. But we per- sonally deny the allegator and defy the allegation. He is a favorite — especially with the Glee Club, and can keep his finger on the pulse of Bundy Dorm. • KIHX 1). REA. JI. A. Pi ' ofessor of Classical and English Literature. The Day Dodger. clad- always-in-black man who looks so formidable to those who don ' t know him. Evi- dence his little book of Earl- ham Verse, published this spring, the result of some of his definite notions about what is good in literature. You may not think it, but he ' s a side-splitter! ELIZABETH CONRAD, A. M. Professor of French and Dean of Women. The dean of Earlham Hall, ze French woman with ze liftable eyebrows and shrug- able shoulders. With queen- ly grace or athletic stride she is suitable for all occa- sions. She can assume the the irate dean to perfec- tion, but some of us know how kind a heart that cloak conceals. WALTER C. WOODWARD, M. A., Ph. D. Professor of History and Political Science. The readiest wit, the long- est legs, the sharpest tongue, the funniest man on the fac- ulty. Entering w ith us four years ago Steve has been GUI ' favorite chaperone, and we are proud to say that he has taken out his naturali- zation papers with our class, — our only honorary mem- ber.

FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY, EARLHAM COLLEGE, 1914. AND STUDENT BODY, EARLH M COLLEGE, 1914. NETTIE TERRIL MOORE, Ph. B. Instructor in Frencli. A demure southern lady with a pretty drawl, a droll dry wit, and a high collar. MARY A. .lAV HAI.LAKI), A. B. Instnictor in Spanish, and Registrar. Few of us know the kind- ly little registrar except as she beams up at us from a desk swamped with books and papers. Busy always, but ever ready to help a fellow in a muddle. Always the same cheery temper even on the day Freshmen sign up! LAURA (. ' . (iASTOX. Director of the Department of Music and Instructor in Piano. She is the lady with the truly musical temperament. Yes, she may seem flighty and piratical at times, but it ' s all toward a good cause ; she just sees things with a musical eye — that ' s all. And if you misunderstand her at times, it ' s because you haven ' t a musical ear — that ' s all. (JLENN FRIERMOOD Instructor in Vocal Music. A dark man with mysteri- ous eyes glides in and out of Earlham and few see or know him, for Friermood, the handsome voice cultur- alist, has little time for any but his own people and the singing sisterhood. He has adopted Madrigal and made a hit. He had chorus — but dropped h — it. ELSIE MARSHALL, A. B. Instructor in Domestic Science. That Miss Marshall gets tliere every time you can tell by her walk; that there will always be the right amount of salt in the soup she makes you can tell by the set of the little bow at her neck; that she is popu- lar, every member of the student body will testify.

Who knows how many dollars and freshmen he has brought THE SARGASSO 1914 [ EARLHAM COLLEGE. The early events in the developnieiit of Earlhani we know have heen recounted so often in various ciillese and popular pubHcations that it seems unnecessary to state them again. There are, how- ever, certain Mutstanilini;- facts wliich friends of Earlhani shduld nut tire of liearing. One of thciii is that at a time wiien women were given few educational privileges, the founders of our college tlared to throw their doors open both to men and women, establishing no educatinnal restrictions based on sex distinctions. Probably or.ly two other colleges in the country took this stand so earlx. Women have always participated in tiie administration of the college, as well. Never has there l.een a time when there were not able and influential women on the Board of Trustees and in the h ' aculty. .Meantime the great state Universities have developed and have justified on a large scale the soundness of this i)rinciple in education so early adopted by the Earlham fathers and mnthers. Earlhani is also one of the few well-known colleges in the L ' nitcd States that do not have and have never had fraternities or sororities. This is sinipl - another manifestation of the degree to which the management has stood for the idea cf an educational deniocracv. The college has not fostered aristocracy or snobbishness or secrecy. It has .stood for social solidarity and has given every student a chance to count for as much as his talent and energy would warrant. Years of experience ha e proved the wisdom of the founders in this respect, and the fine spirit of CAMAR.ADERIE which permeates the Earlham atmosphere- today is the result of the efhn-t, conscious and unconscious, to build up a college society free from artificial barriers. Manx colleges todav that have secret soci- eties would be glad to he rid of them and as is w.ll known st;ite legislatures have passed laws against their existence in the high schools. Earlhani has been a leader in the advanced movements in education. The first conspicuous illus- tration of this is found in the introduction of scientific studies and the laboratory method. Years reat teachers freely put questions to nature and as freelv awaited nature ' s ion to use experiiiiental methods in sci- the museum and th laboratories ikUc from this period of pedagogic courage. Eater the college led in other r.,nns of practical study md in recent years the members of the faculty have heen alert .students of educational science with the courage to jiut their convictions to test. iMio one can keep up with the Earlhan- facnltv Ic - ago I ' .arlliaiii answers. No college in Indiana began so ence study and instr.iclii n. The observator ' THE SARGASSO 1914 islation it is because the Earlham faculty is a progressive Ijoily of men and women, holding- to the good in the old but willing to dis- cover the good in the new. Earlham has always stood for sound morality as well as snunti scholarship and has held the view that really jound morality can be obtained only in conjunction with the religious life. The col- lege has stood from the first therefore for po •itivc religious ex- perience as a factor of the highest type of personality. So neces- sary has this been in the estimation of the management that the discipline of the Church under whose auspices the college is con- ducted, has been the guide in matters of amusements as well as in the deeper things of the spirit. The college has been loyal to its ideals in this respect also, and it finds its ultimate jus- tification in the men and women, who, with this training, have gone forth to bless humanity. Material expansion has gone hand and hand with the expan- sion of Earlham ' s fundamental ideals. There have been two building eras since the erection of the original building — Earlham Hall. The first was in 1887 when Lindley Hall and Parry Hal! were erected: the second in 1907 when Bundy Hall, the Library, and the Heating Plant were placed on the campus. .Since that time the energies of the management have been expended in rais- ing the standard of scholarship and life so that Earlham, meas- ured by any of the modern standards, will be second to none in the field of college work; and in improving the financial condi- THE SARGASSO 1914 [ tion by the liquidation of the building ' debt and the increasing ol the endowment. Within about five years no less than $280,000 in cash or the equivalent has been handed over to the College by its loyal friends. The plant of the college is now worth well nigh a half-million, while the endowment, productive and improductive, has gone quite bevond the half million mark. Today nur greatest need in the way of material equipment is a iiKKlern and liberally proportioned gymnasium, for Earlham has always stood for the development of the body as well as the mind and spirit. It is to be hoped that the promoters of the preserii Sargasso will give this movement such initial momentum that th- college historian of the next Sargasso may add a bright new chap- ter to the story of Earlham ' s progress, by recounting the steps in the materialization of our present gymnasium ideals.

To dabble in forgotten lore, To find big books to ponder o ' er, Absorbing wisdom more and more, And learned sages be. Bnt soon we foinid that such intents As these would never do! They tagged each Freshman with his name And dragged him off to play the ganu ' . (Oh, surelv we were not to blame!) Tlie gan ' ie tliey called Who ' s Who. Ancl then to show just who was who. A Tug-o ' -war there A ' as. We Freshmen pulle l with all our might! The Sophs went through the pond all right! .And still we heard in dreams tliat night Fame ' s hard-earned, sweet applause. A jolly time along Clear Creek ye had with the Junior class. They fed us beans in the pale moonlight. And sang us songs by the eampfire bright. Oh. a gay old time we had the night We froliced in the grass! A merry year was our Sophomore year. Though tlie greased pole did slip by! A Quaker meeting and wedding, too. We had, and ' ' affii ' med as the old folks do, And spoke our minds with much ado, And solemn thou and thy. ' ' We banqueted the Senior class, And had a lot of fun. (Each chaperon was at his post) Dr. A¥oodward gave a toast; Each man tried to eat the most, And leavings there were none! As Juniors we acquired great fame! Ours was the lime-light ' s glare! The Stars and Stripes — ' twas our intent — Should fly aloft for each event. Forgotten by our president. Sometimes we see it there! And we are Seniors, now, ' tis true. In somber cap and gown. The championship in basket ball; A brand new Gym, to please us all; A Shakespeare play, and a Book. — that ' s all. What care we for renown ' Stately Seniors, gowned in black — They ' ll not be so next year! Licking stamps for an irate boss; Selling their dreams for the world ' s mere dross? They have learned to know jnire gold from gloss; But they ' re Freshmen again, I fear! A. M. n.

To become a member of the Young Women ' s Christian Asso- ciation is not to buy or sell a dollar ' s worth of support to some- thing that is good and ought to be kept going. To become a mem- ber is to share in something that is living, and growing, and making for the all-round ideal of womanhood. The Association is the big sister of the Earlham girls. When a girl begins to think about coming to Earlham it is the Asso- ciation which takes her in hand, writing letters of welcome and good cheer. When the newcomer arrives in the city she is met. entertained, and made acquainted, and the luxury of homesick- ness is a thing almost unknown, for in true big sister fashion the Association plans work for each to do. At the very beginning of the past year there were money and clothing to be collected and biscuits to be baked and sent to the flooded districts. How fitting that the giving of a missionary pageant should be postponed in order to have more time for bis- cuit making ! The mission and Bible study rallies gave an enroll- ment of more than a hundred in each department. Five Bible and six mission classes were successfully directed by faculty and stu- dents ; three students were engaged in city social service work throughout the year. Near the holiday time every girl put her shoulder to the wheel and worked untiringly, otherwise the privi- lege of having Helen Iveller with us could not have been realized. Perhaps the greatest happiness came in the preparation of the Association Christmas tree which brought gladness to nearly forty little mission folk from Richmond. It was genuine fun to pack the Christmas box sent to the sunny Southland and saw off the boards and nail on the lid ! The newest and most far reaching work offered is the call to supply leaders for the coun- try clubs for the summer. And then again, the Association not only becomes acquainted with the girl and actually provides her with immediate oppor- tunities for work, but it gives her a vacation. We were fortu- nate in having a delegation of fifteen at the summer conference on the shores of the beautiful Lake Geneva ; two at the Chicago Field Conference in October, and three at the Kansas City Convention in December. In all, twenty lives were brought into touch with world leaders ; and much of the living Christ, the rule of perfect purity, perfect love, and highest service has been brought to the Earlham Association members. The work of the Master gained a new impetus and lives were consecrated to His service during the week of special meetings. Many learned for the first time that they could serve by effective and intelligent prayer, that daily Bible study and The Morn- ing Watch are necessary to keep close the personal relation with The Great Companion. Never does a mejjiber of the Y. W. C. A. leave Earlham with- out feeling that the power of the big sister has penetrated, and colored, and uplifted her ideals of womanhood. While it is true that it is the popular thiilg to have membership in the organiza- tion it is also true that it is one of the strongest ties which binds us to our Alma Mater.

The Christian Associations exemplify that indefinable some- thing that is called the Earlham Spirit more completely than any other organizations of the college. That enthusiastic support is given to them is seen in every phase of the college life, and in addition to this, in them more than anywhere else is expressed the deep, purposeful spirit that makes Earlham a character-build- ing institution. The efforts of the cabinet this year have been to make every- thing that the Young Men ' s Christian Association did bring men to consider the meaning of life to them and then to point out pos- sible fields of service. A very just criticism of Earlham men be- cause of the lack of interest in Christian work that has been shown by them after leaving college pointed out the way to this program. At the beginning of the year committees were cut down to such numbers as seemed most workable and each man was made responsible for .some definite part of the work. In this way fifty- four men were given practical experience in Christian service. Every committee has done good work during the entire season, making aggressive plans at the beginning of the year and carrying them out to the last day. In carrying out the plan of reaching the men personally the reception and personal work committees naturally received a large amount of the responsibility. The fact that sixty men are fol- lowing some form of daily Bible study or morning watch may be largely credited to the work of these committees and to the reg- ular and special meetings held during the year. The deputation committee made a departure from the plan of former years b sending out teams of men who had never had any professional experience in Christian work. Such a team, composed of nine men, was at Spiceland during the Christmas vacation and a num- ber of young people were reached and brought into active Chris- tian life. About twenty men were engaged in some kind of vol- untary work, either in teams or as Bible class teachers. Bible classes have held to the usual high level during the entire year and have continued to fill the demand that college men feel for free discussion of their religious views with their classmates. The condition of this department is taken as a criterion of the spiritual condition of the colege. The Lake Geneva Student Conference was attended by ten rep- resentatives of the Association. This conference holds an impor- tant place in the year ' s program. The size of the delegation from Earlham shows something of the relative interest in Christian work of the day that is taken by Earlham men and those of other colleges of the State. Of the twenty-one colleges of Indiana rep- resented. t (i had five men there and the rest three or less. THE ' GOSPEL TEAMS ] THE SARGASSO 1914 [ EARLHAM HALL STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row— G.

THE SARGASSO 1914 EARLHAM HALL STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRF.SinHNT, iNIir.DRED JoNES. Sh-h-h ! A figure kimonaed in red silk stood out in the hall and waited till certain hilarious sounds changed to subdued tones and a few suppressed giggles. Then a transom slammed shut ; silence reigned and the proctor retired into her room. She re- sumed her book wearily. It was not long, however, before the sound of scurrying, slippered feet, two or three escaped squeals and the bang of a door interrupted the Epistles of Horace. Summoning all her courage, once more she ventured forth. She rapped on the offending door and was met b ' a volley of sofa pillows and the smell of fudge. Yes, Earlham student government is fearfully and wonderfully made. There is an august body of eleven, known as the council, and a number of lesser angels called proctors, distributed in vari- ous corners of the dormitory. The covmcil wields the weapons of the law and it has been said that once they even called before them all the Senior girls for the discussion of problems. The Seniors did not see the joke, however, and the cussing and discussing were left for the most part to certain Junior members of the council. The proctors do the odd jobs. There is one on each hall, and it is her duty to close eyes, ears and nose to pranks, noise and fudge. Term of office for a proctor is one month and immediately upon expiration of the stated time she is given an icy ducking in the bath tub bv her neighbors in return for past favors. Thus and so old scores are settled and peace and good will reign su- preme. Every one does have a good time ; but in spite of much frivolity student government really is a success in Earlham Hall. It is sur- prising how the girls sober down and take things seriously every now and then ! There is not one but realizes her votes have helped elect the council, and that it is her duty as a self-respecting citizen to stand behind the council and the rules, and help to shape all things to the common welfare. So the machinery runs pretty smoothly after all, for student government and responsibility go hand in hand. Aside from the be nefit to all the girls in general, aside from the natural life, free from much forced restraint and made possible by the honor system, individual character building is no small factor. Council members grow old and gray-headed before their time and develop that sense of responsibility essential to effective living. The honor system is good for our souls and sometimes one even comes to realize that resolutions were made to keep and not to break. And then, of course, more important than all else is the fact that self-government is an exponent of civilization, and they who abide therein are just one step the more removed from barbarism ! And who would ever call the Earlham girls savages ? THE SARGASSO 1914 BUNUY HALL STUDENT COUNCIL ■I ' l.l ' 1 ' ' •!■ I . l.ittl. ' .J. li.Mls.r. .Mills. A. Tlioriiton. H. MilU-r. .Mi.l.li,. n,w: .

The Bundy Student Council is a representative body of men elected by the residents of Bundy Dormitory to maintain order in the dormitory during the school year. The plan of student gov- ernment was introduced into the dormitory bv Professor Men- denhall in the fall of 1909. The entire Bundv student organiza- tion formulated a constitution and a number of by-laws in which they expressed their desires concerning the government of the residents of dormitory. These bv-laws were placed in charge of the council to be enforced when occasions demanded. Since the initial organization of the council the constitution and by-laws have undergone a series of changes necessitated by de- mands of the majority of the members of the student government association. At the present time the senior men elect four mem- bers ; the juniors, three ; the sophomores, two ; and the freshmen, two. The men act for the period of one school year unless re-elected for a longer period of time. One-half of the members take their places on the council at the beginning of the school year, while the other half take their places the first week in Feb- ruary. At the first consideration of the numljer of men elected from the upper classes, as compared with the number elected from the lower two, it might seem that the upper classes hold too much power. But, taking into consideration the length of time spent at the college, it seems only logical that the upper classes, having more experience along the lines of government, should be the ones able to govern in a way to please both the students and the college authorities. Instead of the lower classes being totally ignored, as is the case in some institutions, they have, through the council, a far more forceful way of presenting matters to the authorities and student body than if they were to do it individually. Also since the con- stitution provides that a three-fourths vote be required before any consideration can be passed by the council body, the upper class representatives are not able to pass any matter to which the other classes are unanimously opposed. All persons violating the rules of the student government asso- ciation are brought before the council and given a hearing. Evi- dence on both sides of any particular case is taken into considera- tion bv the council in order to give justice to all. If a man be brought before the council three times, then, upon the three- fourths vote of that body, he may be placed under faculty super- vision. In the history of the association, however, very few cases have ever been turned over to the authorities. It has always been the policy of the council, since they are only a representative body of the Bundy Student Association, to deal only with cases based upon violation of the rules of the associa- tion. Since, however, no organization can codify all its rules, it becomes necessary at times to treat each particular case reported according to its merits. This at times stirs up a feeling of dissat- isfaction among some of the men, but on the whole, fair decisions are given. There are arguments to be given against student government, such as the principle of one student enforcing rules upon another, or the principle of under classmen chastising the upper class- men, but, taking everything into consideration, the present form of student government has proved to be eminently successful. The success of such a form of government has and will depend upon the support and co-operation given the council bv the stu- dent association. THE SARGASSO 1914 rr-r I ' lVN. Kirst ScMii. ' tiT.

TIME- MIDNIGHT, LONG AGO. A prolonged session of Phoenix has just ended, and the atmos- phere of the place is still haunted by the spirits of the occasion. Floating anxiously about, the spirits are crying and wailing : The Motion is lost! The Motion is lost! Oh, where can it be? Did 3 ' ou look under the Head of Ilusiness for it? The confusion becomes so great that the Chair takes her place behind the desk and calls the meeting to order. X ' on-performance of Duty, cries the Chair, sternly, are you responsible for the loss of this Motion? Non-performance of Duty tearfully addresses the Chair: No, Madam President, Permission to Cross the Floor was given to it. and with that it ran away, and I haven ' t seen it since. I move that Non-performance of Duty be fined at the discre- tion of the President, says Point of Order. Second the motion, cries Adjournment. The President taps her gavel for better order. You have heard the motion; are you ready for the question? she asks. All those in favor please say aye. — opposed, no. The ayes have it ! The fine which the Chair imposes upon this grave offender is execution ; will the Executive Committee please come forward and prepare the gallows? Poor Non-performance and all the assembled throng gasped, for this was a rather harsh procedure, even for such a strict body as the Phoenix Literary Society. But Non-performance had once been chairman of the literary committee, so that she knew how to think and act and give orders all at once. Therefore, when the Chair queried: Is there any last request which the lady would like to have granted? Non-performance replied, I should like to have the services of the marshal. For she had bethought herself of her faithful Quorum, at that moment wrangling over a point in Roberts ' Rules of Order in Ionian Hall near bv. ( Xon-per- formance had lived in Earlham atmosphere long enough to de- velop a contagious case of buzzitis and she and Quorum were chief among the treaders of the alfalfa meadow.) The marshal was dispatched with a communication addressed to Quorum, who then came rushing in, post-haste, to rescue his beloved from the murderous han ds of the E.xecutive Committee. Having been granted permission to address the criminal. Quo- rum said : Let us return to the unfinished business which the bell interrupted last night; if I rescue you from this terrible death, will you consent to be mine forever ? Consent. replied the maiden. Then, Madam President, continued the valiant Quorum, do you not hold that there is a report which sjiould be heard at this time ? The gentleman may make the report, answered the Chair, un- suspecting villain that she was. But when Quorum produced a revolver, foreseeing a tragedy, the President cried : Lay that report on the table ! but scarcely had the last word been spoken when the report was loudly given and the Chair was shot to pieces. Then all the spirits of parliamentary drill sadly filed out past their President — the Marshal, Critic, Secretary, Permission to Cross the Floor, the Executive Committee, Point of Order, and last of all. Adjournment. The ne.xt summer Quorum and Non- performance were wedded (by-law) and lived happily ever after. To this day. Phoenix Band adheres to this precedent estab- lished so long ago, and carries on its affairs, both tragic and frivolous, in the language of all august bodies. . nd who shall say that the training in parliamentary procedure which the mem- bers of Phoenix obtain is not a very practical and valuable part of their college education ? THE SARGASSO 1914 C I IONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY THE SARGASSO 1914 IONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY President First Semester T. E. Raiford. President Second Semester J. A. Cox. In lookino; backward over his college course an Earlhaniite is likely to have the attitude of a vveighmaster. He is balancing up the values of all those activities with which he has been connected and he is deciding what particular studies, activities or organiza- tions stand out as the most instructive, the most helpful, the most entertaining, deciding which one has whetted his intellectual knife- edge to the greatest possible keenness. Ionian Literary Society stands out in the minds of those who have left their names on its roll, as one of these strong influences. Hot debates over a window blind or the fining of some recalci- trant rule breaker have developed brains in more than one Ionian member. And these brains developed are the ones seemingly neglected bv other Earlham organizations. The brains to speak in public with conviction ; ability to marshal ideas, and arguments right on the floor of Ionian in the white heat of discussion ; the poise to present the array of newly recruited ideas ; the cool head to face with a smile what sounds like bitter denunciation ; a won- derful self-restraint gained from keeping feet off chairs (mem- bers shall not place feet on chairs, reads established precedent number 5), and most of all the grip that one must get on himself to do all these things, this is what Ionian gives a man. Business men in the front ranks today, who fought their battles on the scarred field of Ionian, come back to their Alma iMater and tell of the good old days when Ionian did even more for them than their class work. Ionian still develops men, and if we are forced to report that the good old literary society this last year was not quite so grave and decorous, no, nor so large as in former days, we can say that it still opens its doors not quite everv Friday night, but now and then, to a little band of men itching for the excitement of miscellaneous business, and looking forward to a program which is not always ready. Rut the parliamentar ' law of the sanctum is not broken, and Roberts Rules of Order reigns supreme in the holy of holies on the third floor of Lindley. So we who have already begun to realize the benefits of your training, bow to you, old Ionian, and we are grateful to vou for the things you have given us. We shall not soon forget, for we shall have constant need of what we have received. If we measure up to the accomplishments of former Ionian-trained men, may the glory or honor, be duly and rightly placed on the oldest and most historic organization in Earlham College — Ionian Lit- erary Society. THE SARGASSO 1914 THE SARGASSO 1914 C YE ANGLICAN CLUB President, H. B. Rogers. A true Earlhamite is the Anglican Club — from the very Ye of its name to the iron ties of its loyalty to Alma Mater. Founded in 1876 and reorganized again in 1885, it has kept a steady pace with Earlham ' s progress and comes to us as an integral part of Earlham ' s life. As representing the oldest, the Anglican Club answers first in the roll call of our organizations, and among them justly claims a distinction unto itself. The central purpose of the club, in the words of the preamble : To afford its members better opportunity for the study of Lit- erature and the cultivation of literary tastes, embraces that true element which has been the substantiating spirit of its past and on which its future rests. The spirit of .Anglican ' s purpose is seen manifest in the success of its many members who have gone forth into literary careers. They have become masters of the craft there as a result of their serving apprentice here. One of this number has remained with us, worthily pursuing his favorite vocation, and keeping closely in touch with the life of his club. Those of the present member- ship are to be congratulated in having with them one of Angli- can ' s most highly esteemed members and working spirits. Prof. William N. Trueblood. This has been a romantic year for the club — not essentially in playing the game of what will happen next? but in studying Romance from the standpoint of its Cycles in Literary History. The Arthurian, Charlemagne, Nibelung, ' olsung, and Cid Cvcles have been reviewed and discussed. The study has been an inter- esting one, and in giving an insight into the mythical and legen- dary sources of literature it has proved very instructive. Fol- lowing out the custom of the past two years, the committee has adde d variety to the work each semester by planning an original work meeting. The productions contributed on these occasions have met with enthusiastic comment, sufficient in itself to render the custom permanent as a feature of Anglican. The standing committee on current literature, too, must not be forgotten. It has been wide awake throughout the year and has had a refresh- ing report at almost every meeting. Present-day literature is thereb}- not lost sight of and its worth to students of English is thus determined. As we speak of true greatness in terms of its highest achieve- ment, let us look upon the spirit and success of this Anglican year in terms of the most significant work it has accomplished. The securing of Bliss Perry to lecture at Earlham stands out pre- eminent. Secondly, then, would be mentioned the Spelling Bee. which, though of a lighter vein, as the name will suggest, is note- worthy in marking the appearance of an event of its nature for the first time at Earlham. Both have been expressions of the keen desire of Anglican to make its influence felt outside its own circle and to contribute of its best to Earlham life. Where do we find a motive more praiseworthy, inspiring the efforts of a club? Here ' s to thee. Ye Anglican, with our best wishes. Mav tliee continue to realize thy noble aspirations, and may th - future achievements exceed even those of the past ! THE SARGASSO 1914 SCIENCE CLUB THE SARGASSO 1914 C SCIENCE CLUB President First Semester, C. R. Trueblood. President Second Semester, W. A. Gifford. As a glance at the opposite page will prove, Science Club is a group of the handsomest, most influential, and most intellectual persons in school. Although in the past this club has had a some- what checkered career (for it had a very humble beginning, was later abandoned for several years, and has only recently been re- organized) it now proudly presents itself to you as the equal of any departmental club in college. The value of a college education is that it broadens one ' s inter- ests — as we have been told ere this from the chapel platform. If one looks at the broad scope of Science Club ' s program for the year just past, he can quickly see that he has missed at least half his college training if he did not belong to the assembly scientific; for scientific discussions embrace such a big field that there is sure to be something to interest everyone in every meet- ing — hence the club ' s large and enthusiastic membership. For instance, this year the subjects have included everything from the Panama Canal to Methods of Applying Heat to Foods and our knowledge has broadened accordingly. The following are a few of the subjects of which we had no conception at the beginning of the year, but which we now know perfectly well : All the various geologic eras and the products of each ; how to pre- vent tj ' phoid fever ; how to purchase coal economically, either for a small family or a large railroad company ; how to manage the Richmond City Water Works; all the advantages of the most recently invented steam plough ; the workings of the minutest de- tails of the saccharimeter ; how centrifugal force operates in the gyroscope; the whole subject of astronomy in all its phases; and — whisper it softly, so that no one will be shocked, we even learned how to manipulate a picture show ! Of course, we could hardly expect to become millionaires in a tlay by applying our knowledge in some one of these lines, but it IS a fact that we have learned some very practical things, which we can remember and perhaps use long after our college lessons proper have been forgotten. For, this year in particular, the club has had people on its program who were authorities on the subject they spoke to us about. And so we members of Science Club have been taught a great deal, — and taught much more in- formally and wittily ( for proof of the sense of humor with which all Earlham scientists are endowed, you might have attended an meeting of the year) than would be possible in the classroom. Truly, if the club continues to be as broad in the range of topics which it discusses, as entertaining, and as helpful as it has been this year, the powers that be ' will have to add this course in practical science to the curriculum, and charge tuition for the great benefit derived from tiie meetings of the Science Club. THE SARGASSO 1914 DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN s 1 X t y - s 1 X THE SARGASSO 1914 DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN President Fall Semester Gladys Parks. President Spring Semester Martin Kuehi Fortunately for us it is against the law at our college to draft people into clubs. To be sure, it is often difficult to acquire mem- bers for the German Club, since so much knowledge is pre- supposed. One must be able to say with ease and fluency, Wie geht ' s and bitte if the occasion demand. This to start with, eliminates man ' otherwise perfectly normal people from becom- ing members of Der beriihmte deutsche Verein. ' ' During the course of a year or two one may even become more fluent in the use of German, for if he be awake and alert he is bound by the mere process of absorbtion, to assimilate and retain certain useful German phrases. The German Club meets only once in two weeks in order to al- low its members plenty of time to recuperate between times. It is more or less of an exertion even for people who have taken Ger- man composition to think, act, talk, sing and feel in German for two straight hours with no rest or refreshments. Often in addi- tion to these things, the members must be in a receptive frame of mind and strain every nerve to catch the meaning of some learned paper on German literature, read by someone who doesn ' t pro- nounce an umlaut O just as you pronounce it yourself. But wait, don ' t be too critical. The next meeting probably you will have to appear before the erudite members and read a long dis- sertation on some phase of the development of German literature, and how welcome will be leniency in your eyes then ! One could manage fairly well to be a clever member of tfn= club if it were not for those business meetings. At first you feel so dazed ! How vou would like to make a motion to the effect that — but what is the word for motion ? Then later you see a splendid opportunity to say something awfully clever at some- one ' s else expense, l3ut in the crippled state of your German you can ' t sav it, vou must forbear. Never mind, wait till they begin singing. You can make just as much noise as anybody, and no one listens to the words anyway. You can sing the Lorelei and Die Wacht am Rhein with just as few mistakes as anyone. There are days, too, when you aren ' t on such a strain. On those days you have refreshments and tell German riddles. On one great occasion, all of you go to visit at the home of your respected German professor. In the spring some one suggests that you all take a little outing and have a picnic supper. ' it is moved and carried that you may speak German or not as you like. There is generally an attempt made about this season to rope in new members, if the expression may be allowed. This process requires the utmost tact on the part of everyone. First your Ger- man professor with his winsome smile tells you how ' well you have been doing in German. He continues. You are made to feel what a very valuable acquisition you will be to the club. In fact you don ' t quite understand how the club is to get along without you. Then you are invited to the next meeting. You are certainly impressed with the good refreshments. You never suspect for an instant that they are bait and that once you are on the hook, you are strung. You pay your dues. After that you really belong and you don ' t feel so ' very important after all. But in this way the club gets a good start for the next year, and you are very glad after all that you are on the road to really learning German in the natural conversational way. Scarcely would we omit mention of the Puppenspiel and the visit of Dr. Feise, of Wisconsin University. The play was im- mensely enjoyed. The audience entered into the spirit of the folk songs, and sang lustily enough to warm the heart of Kaiser Wilhelm himself; and it is even rumored that several Earlham girls lost their hearts to the little dark German professor. THE SARGASSO 1914 ■ B i I 1 H Rj 09 K ' f H mi E 1 Wl r l ¥i Wm f -9 1 1 f ' D i i THE CLASSICAL CLUB six t y - cl gh I THE SARGASSO 1914 THE CLASSICAL CLUB President, Helen Sparks. If the majority of the students were to present a codification of what they considered to be the by-laws of the constitution of the Classical Club it would read somewhat as follows : Constitution of the Classical Club of Earlhaui College. By-laws. 1. Think not upon any person who has lived or anv event that has taken place since the year 476 A. D. 2. Go noiselessh ' as Caesar ' s ghost to your seat and remain there motionless. 3. When you hear your name called reply with the expression of a mummy, Adsum. 4. If you are on the program write a paper about Roman fu- nerals as dry as the bones of Cato. 5. Dignitas et gravitas sunt virtutes solae. If, however, these students were to visit the club at any time they would find out that it is not made up of such solemn asses as some people are prone to believe. True, its members do enjoy reading about the deeds of Hector and Odysseus, the philosophy of Socrates and Plato, and the wit of Aristophanes and Horace. They don ' t study these things, however, merely because they are old, but because they think that they must possess the most virile life since they have lived for so many centuries and bid fair to live on until the human race has attained perfection. The past history of the club is such, too, that those who are at present affil- iated with it do not feel that members of classical organizations are necessarily of the aforementioned species. Since its found- ing in igo2 two public performances have been given: The Captives of Plautus in 1904, and The Trinumnus by the same author in 1909. According to the accounts in the Earfhamites of the time these performances attracted people from all over the State. It is interesting, too, to know that the proceeds from these plays were used to purchase the nmuber of pictures which are at present in the Latin room ; the first room in Lindley Hall to be decorated in any manner whatsoever. In its organization the Classical Club is like every other club in the civilized world, at least in English speaking countries, hav- ing its officers, its constitution and its code of laws. Its members have also another weakness which has been inherited from their ancestors. It has been said that the only way in which to reach a white man is through his stomach. The Classical Club does like to eat, which is another proof that those composing it are not of the aforementioned species. At least once during a semes- ter they eat, drink, and are merry, often at the expense of their two generous professors. Prof. Rea and Dr. Haile. The name classical has been used only for the last two years, the club having been organized as the Latin Club. The members thought Classical a more comprehensive and pleasing name ; and will endeavor to remove the idea of lifelessness which is so often connected with it and to keep before the mind of the college- public — The glor - that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome. ] THE SARGASSO 1914 THE EARLHAMITE STAFF To|j riiw: R. .Morris, M.

THE SARGASSO 1914 THE EARLHAMITE Editor-in-chief H. R. Rogers. The public eye sees the Earlhamite now a monthly magazine, with a brand new cover. The complexion of the Greek god on the front, although rather a bilious green at his first appearance, has since sobered down to the aristocratic brown study, befitting the literary fruits within. They say one-half the world knows not how the other half lives, so perhaps the public eye would like a peep behind the scenes, where the powers that be weep and wail and gnash their teeth to their hearts ' content. Presto — the curtain rises ! How are we ever going to fill this Earlhamite? growled the editor-in-chief. Only a week more and the thing comes out! Not the sign of an idea for that editorial! Oh, well, replied the associate editor, nobodv ever reads the editorials anyway, vou know. The editor-in-chief tore his hair and groaned aloud. What encouragement ! he said with icy sarcasm. When by the sweat of your brow, and your heart ' s blood, and the midnight oil, and Rather a dampening process, I should judge. Let it be dam(p) ! and the editor-in-chief flung himself into a chair. Silence reigned. The associate editor continued to read the first paragraphs from a pile of Freshman themes, and as regu- larly threw them aside. The editor-in-chief sat with his back to his colleague and scribbled spurts? of budding genius upon many little slips of paper ; and with unvarying rapidity tore them to shreds and cast them into the waste basket. What? he turned suddenly in answer to an ejaculation from the associate editor. Read that! she handed him a faiiiy Ici iblc manuscript. With darkened brows he took it, but soon his eye lighted. Shades of Harry filler! he cried in fiendish glee and waved the manuscript on high. That ' s a poem! ' ' Yes, and I guess that settles that extra half page. Just then the door opened, and a tall man with a seraphic smile entered the editorial sanctum. Here are some more alumni notes we got this morning, he said. Thank fortune, old chap! Thank fortune! exclaimed the editor-in-chief. You ' ve saved the day ! And he thumped him on the shoulder in unfeigned gratitude. And now — he con- tinued, turning to the associate editor as the tall man left the room. Yes, ' she answered, gathering up books and papers, for the dinner bell had rung, Yes, the Earlhamite is coming all right, and coming out on time, too. But — ! the editotr-in-chief gasped with a sudden, despairing- slump of remembrance, The editorial isn ' t — There goes the last belj! cried the associate editor. ' Lati; again! She had no anxiety about the editorial, for she knew that as usual, he would grind one forth about 2 a. m. of the morn- ing after, in plenty of time to get to the printers by 8 o ' clock.

It is aware of it, and sometimes regrets it. It is one-sided in many ways. For instance, the edi- tor is one-sided : when a small piece of paper on which is written — Baseball dope — No. I — Thurs. — is handed to a member of the club on Wednesday morning the editor thinks that no human frailty should prevent this from being transformed, over night, into a four hundred word dissertation on the prospects of Earlham ' s baseball team for winning the State championship of Indiana. Again the individual members of the club are one-sided, their bias taking a shape which bend them toward the ground to better scent the trails of news. These they follow (presumably) with an avidity which ends on Saturday night — after passing through the test of fire in the editor ' s sanctum — in The Earlham Press, issued every week by the Earlham College Press Club, entered as second class matter at the postoffice at Richmond, Indiana, under the Act of March 3, 1879. The most regretted (by some) idiosyncracy of the club, and one that most of the members try to make up for by over indul- gence outside of the club, is its utter, irremediable, and sometimes boresome masculinity. This is an evil which the club endeavors in some weak way to overcome by means of an institution, invent- ed and perpetuated by the club, known to the members as the sparkler, and to the world at large as the Annual Press Club Banquet. And indeed it would seem that restraint withdrawn but once a year were of unusual potency in the opposite direction from what might be expected, for an investigation of the mem- bership of the club past and present shows the marriage rate (and prospectives) to be a high and awful thing. In the journalistic work of the college The Earlham Press is of a one-sidedness completed only b} ' the opposite one-sidedness of the Earlhamite. And in this regard there are no grounds for regret as each has its own field and its own work and only by both can the newspaper and magazine activity of the college be fully covered. In one final thing, however, the Earlham Press Club is at one with every other organization and individual connected with Earlham College — the effort to make real the dream of a new Earlham gym in the very near future. Toward this goal the club is doing its utmost, both through the columns of the Press and the individual efforts of its members, and it pledges itself and its alumni to this undertaking until it shall be fully realized. ] THE SARGASSO 1914 [ MADRIGAL CLUB Tup n,H : L.

Wake up and sing! Yes, despite the fact that the Madrigal Club is so good-looking (see the opposite page), it can really sing — sometimes. Tuesday evenings throughout the school vear Miss Gaston faithfully directed these lovely maidens — in the straight and nar- row path of harmony and the result was that they have warbled sweetly on two or three public occasions, such as the preliminary oratorical contest and a piano recital of Miss Gaston ' s ; they even had the nerve to sing in chapel once — only once, kind friends. Then one bright day the director fell — deliberately fell and broke her arm. As a result the club has been in a crippled con- dition since. It was unanimously agreed upon bv the club that Miss Gaston ' s trials and tribulations were numerous enough with- out the additional burden of sixteen singing girls (and, prithee, what could be worse than sixteen girls who want to sing?) and as a consec|uence of this wise decision Mr. Glenn Friermood was appealed to for help. Of course these same sixteen girls were irresistable ; he couldn ' t refuse! It is rumored that Madrigal has something up her sleeve in the way of an operetta or musical sing for commencement week, and to be sure by this time the S. R. O. sign is all that is left to the wild, madly-clamoring public. Good luck to the singing sisterhood I May their faces never wrinkle nor their hearts become raw !

Prof. Adolph von Snicklefritz with his world re- nowned orchestra (see below), and an entertaining quartette, basso, cornetist. pianist and reader. Only a handful from the successful 1912-13 Glee Club gath- ered at the beginning of the present year, put their heads together and decided to build another glee club around their little nucleus of six. Not even a single professor was left ; their director was gone; but faithfully they set to work. Nusbaum chosen director, they herded in the singers, pretended singers, and had a tryout — what a mixture of nocturnal symphonic yowls ! But the end came — result, twenty-one men on the Glee Club. Then faithfully, gleefully up long flights of stairs to Phoenix Hall, three times a week in spite of cases, dates, and meetings — there under Nusie ' s patient smile and his pencil baton those twentv-one men prac- ticed — practiced — practiced. Shaking knees and trembling voice gradually grew steady with the club ' s singing at chapel, the tabernacle, and Tonilinson Hall. And by Wednesday noon, April 8th, the program was trim and ready for its first audience at Portland. According to the manager ' s fat pocketbook, newspaper testi- monials, and the smiles the club wore on their return, the third annual torr of Earlham ' s Glee Club was a success. Twenty-one men learned more about music, Indiana and each other, and thy good name of Earlham was advertised in as many communities as the club could reach during Easter vacation and some week- end trips. Manager Davis likes to go over the invitations which he was forced to turn down on account of a lack of open dates. , nd we mustn ' t forget to mention Prof. Hadlev, the club chap- eron and mascot, for all official trips. His presence was a real pleasure to the men and his infallibility as inspector of crooked neckties won him great favor. On May 2gth a royal banquet was held — the one Earlham full dress affair — and the singers with their ladies disported them- selves as gentlemen of high rank. Withal a splendid time was had. The club is grateful for the helpful suggestions offered it by Mr. Lee 11. Nusbaum, director of the Richmond Apollo Club, and of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. It is with best wishes for an even greater success for Earl- ham ' s Glee Club during the coming year that the present members close a happy and profitable season. THE SARGASSO 1914 [ THE DAY DODGERS ' THE SARGASSO 1914 DAY STUDENTS President Fall Semester Harold Taggart. President Spring Semester Jos. R.- Darnell. A Da} ' Dodger — one who migrates back and forth to school, rule-free. These amblers back and forth who are distinguished by the euphonius appellation, Day Dodger, are of two classes; First, those who amble because they have a natural aversion to the Richmond street car system, which has no svstem ; and sec- ond, those who have found out through sad experience that shoe leather is cheaper than street car tickets. You can see the Day Dodger, as host, in the southeast corner of Lindley Hall. He keeps open house all the time and you are always welcome. If, however, for some very particular reason, you should not be welcome, he will tell you so very frankly. It is here in his native environment that the Day Dodger thrashes out and decides all the problems of life. These Day Dodgers are noted for their ability in two lines . First, to give good plays ; their presentation of Percy INIacKaye ' s Mater this winter was just the annual demonstration of their capabilities. Second, to make Eddie Fisher ' s subjects turn green mit envy at Thanksgiving time ; for it is at this time that all ye D. D. ' s join in one large eat and eat. Even the naughty D. D. boys are asked to bring their meat loaves and bananas and eat with the girls and the Day Dodger faculty members, while a mob of green-eyed half-starved looking ( ?) creatures hover around the doors and windows of the D. D. room, waiting eagerly for the crust thrown out. The Dav Dodger girls are proud to tell you that they have a little student council all their own that helps them to keep to the trodden paths of their sainted predecessors. These council members point out the ways of duty and the girls make tracks in the right direction. The Dav Dodger girls are ambitious, too ; they combined efforts this spring and gave a play to buy such lu.xuries as a green velvet rug and some chairs for their den m the cellar. But those naughty Day Dodger boys ! They are still in a sav- age state and have not yet attained to that exalted plane of civili- zation known as self-government. I Iore s the pity! The Day Dodgers stand for good fellowship, true spirit and enthusiasm . once start something among them and it will go for it will be backed up solidly by seventy-five loyal, cold lunch-eaters who can do things.

It is rumored that the double E Club was founded primarily for a certain )-oung man to break the ice and escort a certain young lady to a function to be given by the club during the year of 1913. As to the veracity of this statement, none of the present members are inclined to go on record, although it is generally known to be a matter of fact. Some of the present members of the Club are evidently following the original policy of the founder as noted by their interest in Earlham Hall. Among other things the club has accomplished this year is the perfecting of the Sunday Afternoon Buzzing Privileges on week ends away. Incidentally the club has taken a very active interest in the ath- letics of the college. The club serves a dual function, being not only an honorary organization for men of the college who have made two athletic letters, but also an organization which looks forward to the betterment of athletics in general at Earlhani. In the spring of the year the real work of the club begins. The management of the inter-color meet has been carried on by the club for two years and has proven a great success. x n effort is made by the club to get into communication with promising school graduates and interest them in Earlham and the kind of athletics the college stands for, clean, inter-collegiate sport. In every possible way the club co-operates with the coaches ru working for a higher standard of athletic efficiency riot only among the star athleties -but am.ong the rank and file of students. Membership in the duh is by invitation, two athletic letters, either in the same or different branches of atlilctics, being a re- quisite. At present there are twelve active and two honor mem- bers in the club. It is the purpose of the club not only to fnrtlicr athletic interests about the college, but to assist in every way po.ssible the various other helpful organizations. It means to represent the vital inter- ests of not only the student body athletically, but those of the college which stand for the splendid spirit behind clean, manly sport. The club intends to keep up the reputation it has estab- lished in its two years ' existence by furthering the interests of the college in general. THE SARGASSO 1914 THE SARGASSO 1914 THE SARGASSO 1914 THE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION ORATORY This has hecn an active year for the ( )ratorical Association from the husthng for new members in the fall to the grand climax in the Interstate Oratorical Contest May 15th. Not satisfied with three oratorical, two ex-tempore speaking contests and one big debate with Albion, the Association, with Professor Ed. Trueblood for a backbor.e, branched out into new fields and this } ear entered Earlham with Indiana and DePauw universities in a triangular debating league. The mteresting thing about that triangular debating league — but vou will have to turn over to the debates page for that — we are talking about the ( )ra- torical Association here. MISS ALivx MADDEN This Association, a little band of those believing that it is a good thing for man to be able to stand on his hind feet and speak intelligently in public takes charge of, with the backing 01 Professor Ed. of course, debates, oratorical and ex-tempore speaking contests. In fact, all contestants in Earlham ' s forensic battles must belong to the ( )ratorical Association — which they may join by the vote of the Association and the initiation fee of twenty-five cents. Professor E. P. Trueblood, the patron-saint and ever-presen. inspiration of Earlham public speaking, has fired up Quaker speakers for a generation. He it is who takes the aspiring oraioi in some quiet corner and with a thrilling tone and earnest eve sends confidence and ambition tingling through his blood. When big alumni come back to their Alma Mater here and say some- thing about their public speaking being one of their most valuable assets Prof. Ed. it is who has the right to feel gratified. First, this year came the ex-tempore contest in chapel, won by T. Harvey Cox, speaking forcibly and fluently on the new bank- ing law. Now his name is carved on the silver cup in Room 21, Lindley Hall. Then came the State Oratorical Contest at Indianapolis, Eeb- ruary 27, with its carload of rooters enthusiastically backing Miss . lma Madden, and her oration, The Problem of Democracy. ' Earlham is justlv proud of her ladv orator who expounded the GARFlti u V. COX evils and glories of democracy with so much earnestness and vigor. The contest was keenlv fought among worthy opponents : Aliss Madden received third place. The debates — on another page. For the third consecutive year Earlham has won first place in the Indiana Peace Contest, an oratorical event constantly growing in importance in Indiana. Garfield V. Cox. a freshman dark horse, this year took State honors easily with his oration, The Passing of War, and representing the State of Indiana at Cleve- land, Ohio, in the Inter-state contest, received fourth place. Beryl Billman, speaking for Earlham in the Indiana Prohibi- tion Contest at Taylor University on Concerning an Absurdity, was awarded fifth place. The biggest oratorical event of the vear was the Inter-state Oratorical Contest, in which seven States were represented. It was held May 15th in the Coliseum in Richmond, before a huge crowd of oratorical enthusiasts from all over the State, and was considered the most important oratorical contest of the immediate Middle ' est. Committees from the Earlham Oratorical Asso- ciation had the arrangements in hands, working under Howard E. Mc? linn, Vice-President of the Inter-state Association. Mr. Lawrence W. liridge, of Rutler College, representing the State of Indiana, won first honors.

THE TEAMS The story of Earlham ' s debates this year is a story of expan- sion and defeat, but not disgrace. Expansion — for Earlham reached out and joined her sister schools, DePauw and Indiana universities, in a triangular league ; defeat — for that was all the Quaker teams received in their three debates ; no disgrace — for tliey put up a battle royal and exhibited their gift of gab in no mean manner, like the good fighters that thev were. It was on Friday, the 13th of February, that Earlham ' s firsi debate of the year was lost to Albion, at Albion, jNlichigan, on the question : . Resolved, That Immigration into the United States Should be Further Restricted. Chas. E. Semler, captain, John Cox, and jMark Mills, the Quaker team, presented the strongest argument that could be mustered on the negative side of the question with clearness and force, but the odds went against them. L ' .y their victory Albion tied the score in the annual debates Ijetween Albion and Earlham, each school now having won three debates, liecause of the inconvenience and expense of debating with the Michigan school, however, it is probable that next year tlie . lbion contest may be temporarily dropped and the whole rltbate force turned on the new Triangular League. TiiK Tkiangul. u Debating League . distinct innovation was made in inter-collegiate forensic cir- cles this year when on the night of April 17th three hot debates were simultaneously held at Indiana University, DePauw Uni- versity and Earlham College, between rival teams from these three schools, all debating the same question : Resolved, That Indiana Should Have a Compulsory .Arbitration Law for the Set- tlement of Labor Disputes. One singular thing about these de- bates was that each school sent both their negative and affirma- tive team away from home, so that all debated before a neutral audience. Too, the judges being taken from the faculty of that neutral school, added a new feature to the series and very much simplified arrangements. These judges were instructed to grade debaters on the strength (if their individual speeches and not upon team work, as it is usually dore, — and so altogether these three schools had worked up a nice little scheme, pretty and new, in the history of debating. DePauw won the laurels, with Indiana tak- ing second place. The Earlham teams were handicapped by the loss of Captain John Co.x of the negative trio, who was removed ij:om the team ai such a late date that his substitute, Carl Siewick, was forced to go on at only a week ' s notice. This negative team, T. H. Cox, Alfred Hall and Carl Siewick, lost to DePauw at Bloomington loi to 105. While the affirmative team, Chas Semler captain, Mark Mills, and Fred T. Hollowell, lost to Indiana at Greencastle by a score of gi.5 to 118:5. -f t ' ' ' s Earlham Chapel DePauw defeated the affirmative Indiana team qo to in). ] THE SARGASSO 1914 RECORD OF EARLHAM DEBATES.

THE SARGASSO 1914 COACHES Coach Chestkr L. Reagan Heads the list of Earlham coaches who entered the faculty fresh- man class last fall. Coach Reagan is doing his work in the depart- ment of foothall, basketball and baseball. Reagan proved his ability along these lines when he played on the Earlham teams during the years of his college course. He got the reputation of being about the best quarterback and floor guard among the football and basket- ball teams of the state, and as a result was elected assistant coach at Earlham in i(ji2. and the following year was advanced to fill the shoes left vacant by the resignation of Head Coacli Thistlethwaite. Coach Paci. Ilunw .Another former Earlham athlete, who holds the I. C. A. L. quar- ter-mile record, was secured last fall to take charge of the dumb- bell wielding, and whatever else they do in the gvm to make strong bodies and healthy minds; and to train up future holders of I. C. . . i . track records. Coach Hrown has been seriously handicapped in the former work by the lack of facilities of the present gym, but in the latter the prospects are bright f(ir new additions to Earlham s string of first marks in the 1. C. A. 1.. Miss Ci.. i)vs ISasski 1 )f ' assar was given the honor of being the first full-fledged coach and director of Earlham ' omen ' s . thletics when she was elected last fall to the position which goes with that name. During this year her teams have made a perfect score of victories (winning both of the basketliall games on the .schedule) ; but more than this women ' s athletics have been given a definite and recognized position in the life of the college, for physical training is now required for freshman and sophoiuores and interscholastic contests have been put under student affairs, on the same basis as men ' s athletics. THE SARGASSO 1914 FOOTBALL MANAUtK WOLF Invoke the philosophic muse — it there be such ; argue, as our profes- sors do. that athletics are not con- cerned with victor)-, but only with good sport and a fair game — then, and not till then, can we consider, let alone discuss, with some show of equanimity, Earlham ' s 1913 football record. On the surface (which phil- osophy does not condescend to ex- amine) it was, with the exception of a pseudo-victory when we tied But- ler, an unbroken, unalleviated series of defeats. As always the prospects for the season were of the brightest, from which was deduced for Earlham the state championship of Indiana. Seven E ijien — Captain Bogue, Stanley, Semler, Lamb, Williams, Thistlethwaite, and Trueblood — were in school, and several freshmen, who showed up well in the early practices. Hut the first few scrimmages put Williams and Thornton out of the game with bad ankles, from which thev did not wholly re- cover throughout the season, and seriously disjointed the team. However, the bug of over-confidence was still so prevalent in the team ' s bonnet that St. Mary ' s had won the first game before Earl- ham realized that the season was on. The second game with Hanover went in much the same fashion, with the added ' excuse that the down-state school had an unusuallv strong machine. With the Butler game in sight an added impetus was given to the practices by the presence of former coach Glenn Thistlethwaite on the field a couple of evenings. The team was in the best shape of the year when it went to Indianapolis to play the Christians. The result was a battle royal in which neither side was able to score through the splendid defense of their opponents. Earlham came literally within a few inches of winning the game when Bogue, kicking from the field, missed the goal by a fraction of a foot. The next week the Quakers journed south to meet Kentucky State at Lexington, where was .started a series of defeats admin- istered regularly and with precision by Kentucky, Wabash, Franklin, and De Pauw until the season had dragged its wearv length along to a black conclusion. Thus exit the surface facts. Enter philosophy. I ' hilosophy says that we should be thankful for small bless- ings — be glad you tied Butler; further, that the evil Nemisis which kept the team (or part of it) on crutches throughout the season must be taken into account, still further, that occasional defeat is salutary ; and further yet, that there is no help in weeping over overturned cream. Avaunt philosophv, such consolation is too thin. Facts say again that the team was characterized bv the good individual playing of its members — the fault, however, was not there. Bogue was the bright twinkling star of the season ; his attack was alwavs strong and sure and his unerring tackling saved more than a few touch-downs to the Quakers. Bogue ' s exceptional work was recognized bv a position at half on the all-state team. Thistlethwaite, Earlham ' s other representative on the all-state, was the mainstay of the Quaker line. The personnel of the team, the men to whom E ' s ' wer awarded, was as follows : Morris Bogue, ' 15, Bloomingdale, captain, quartei and left half: Jay Stanley, ' 14, Lib- erty, left end ; Ross Williams, ' 14, Dunreith, full back ; Roscoe Lamb, ' 14, Amboy, left tackle: Howard Trueblood, 14, Salem, full back: Charles Semler.

It would not be just, especially from the philosophic and pro- fessorial point of view, to overlook the work of that nondescript crew known as the scrubs. The faithfulness that passeth un- derstanding was theirs last fall, when for practically all of the season, they kept two teams besides the varsity at work daily on Reid field. Many of them were upper classmen with no hope of making the team. The rest were freshmen and sophomores who went out with the ambition of getting a football letter, if not this year the next, or the ne.xt. As a reward for his exceptional work on three Earlham foot- ball teams Captain Bogue was re-elected by the E men to lead the Quakers again in 1914.

All of which comment sets forth Earlham took second place m the secondary basketball race, win- ning from all of the secondary schools with the exception of the Little Giants. I ' urthermore the unheard of was accomplished when Indiana was de the sweetness of which victory could ame at feated on their own floor, not be wholly eradicated when Indiana won the return Richmond by a narrow margin. Out of a lieayy schedule of twelve games Earlham won seven and lost five, completing the season with a total number of 298 points against 186 for her opponents. The Quaker team was one of the fastest and best-balanced that ever represented Earlham and with the exception of a slight slump during the middle por- tion of the schedule at which time defeats were administered by State Xormal, Ruse PoU- and Iniliana. pla ed uniformly excellent Iiall. Coach Reagan had five E men — Captain Rowe, Williams, Wolf, Stanley and Lancaster — with whom to start the season, and to these were added Kemper, center, and later Logan, for- ward. Williams and Lancaster at the guard positions made a combination which was hard to get past and their close defense of the Quaker goal accounts for the many low scores of their opponents. Captain Rowe played a strong aggressive game at forward, pulling ofi a goodly number of those special long over- head shots for which he had made himself famous. Wolf, as running mate with Rowe, was especially valuable to back up the defense when occasion required, and to play a feeding game to his partner. At center , Kemper played his first season on the team, and his great height and basket-shooting ability served him well in the pivot position. Logan, who entered school the second semester, soon won a position on the varsity, and proved, with his spectacular attack and wonderful accurac}-, one of the sensa- tions of the season. Earlham started the schedule with an easy victory over the Winona Aggies, and the next week-end netted two more victor- ies over Franklin and Hanover. Indiana was the ne.xt victim. I)Ut here endeth the triumphal march. Indiana journeying to Richmond the following week, with Vengeance for their motto, by means of a final spurt in the last three minutes of play, van- quished the Quakers 28 to 25, and started them down upon a downward course. The rest of the season was not without an admi.xture of defeat, the crowning tragedy of which was staged in the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. where Wa bash defeated Earlham for the second time, and stamped out the last flickering spark of championship aspiration. Taken as a whole the season was one of the most successful that Earlham has had in several ' years. While the standard of basketball throughout the colleges of the state was not as high as usual, the Quakers played at times a game which would rank with the best of Earlham basketball traditions. In the class games which were held before the start of the regular varsity practice the seniors won an easy victory, finishing the five game series with a perfect percentage. The team was composed of Wolf and Stanley, forwards ; Rowe, center ; Will- iams and Lamb guards. The juniors ranked second, the sopho- mores third, and the freshmen last. At a meeting of the E men, following the varsity season Cy- rus Lancaster, or Carmel, who has held down the guard position for two years, was elected captain for 1914-15. Lancaster has made a steady improvement in his playing in the three vears that he has been in school, and this year put up an unusually strong game at back guard.

From the new men Kemper and Calvert came ( ' mt for the first sack position; Logan, short- stop; Hunnicutt. catch; Little, jiitcher ; liakemeier. third, llobbs and White, field. The weather man interfered serionsl with the ])ractice for sev- eral weeks, preventing the team from getting the seasoning it should have had, but when the diamond was too wet for work, 1)atting practice was held on the north campus, and the team was gotten into fair shape before the first game with liutler. Froin the practice games it soon appeared that the weak places in the machine would be the pitching staff and third base. W ' altace was the only pitcher of experience in school and with Little, a fresh- man, was forced to take care of all of the dinging. The Ouakers had little difficulty in annexing the first game with I ' .uTler bv a count of 7 to 2. .After a bad first inning Wallace. in tlie box for the Ouakers, was invincible, striking out tiiirteen men. The (.)uakers batted and fielded well, and li - their consistent playing gave the fans dreams of the baseball championshii). P.ut these were turned to nightmares the following week when De Pauw, with the redoubtable Sisson in the box, scored six runs while the Ouakers were accnmtdating three. The next week-end the Ouakers took the road, winning the second victory from liutler, 6 to 5; and losing to Wabash in a closely played game by a score of 9 to 6. The next home game was played with .Miami, the Ouakers losing 6 to 4. Except for one inning in which the visitors scored most of their runs, F.arl- ham clearly had the best of the argument. The Ouakers met disaster in their return game with He I ' auw. the Methodists winning a ragged one-sided game, 2 to 7. Loth Wallace and Little were hit all about the lot and all efforts seemed unable to stop the carnage. The next day, at Terre Haute, Farlham put up a much stronger and more consistent game, but lost to the fast State Xormal aggregation 4 to 1. The line-up useil by Coach Reagan in most of the games in the order of batting was as follows: Hobbs, center field; Logan, shortstop; Williams, second; Wallace or Little, pitch; I ' .akemeier or Doggett, third; I ' .ogne or Hunnicutt, catch; White, Little or Wallace, right field; Kemper ir Calvert, first base; Stahlev. lelt field. Captain Williams, playing his third year on the team, has ])layeil a heady consistent game on the second sack, and as clean-up man has been one of the most valuable hitters on the team. Williams was the only member of the infield who had plaved on former Farlham teams. Logan at short put uj) as strong a fielding game as anv man on the team and was well up with his batting average. Kemper at first was especially suited for his job on account of his great reach. Doggett and I ' lakemeier alternated at the third sack. Doggett played a faster fielding game but was not so sure in his throwing as I ' lakenieier. The work behind the bat was taken care of bv ISogue and Hunnicutt. The former was ineligible during the first of the season and a sprained atd le put him out of the game for a time later; this gave an opportunitv for Hunnicutt. a freshman, to get in the game. In the field Hobbs played the best all-aroimd game, fielding well and hitting with the best on the team. Stanley, a member of last year ' s team, played a steady con- sistent game. In right field the work was handled by White, a freshman, Wallace and Little. I THE SARGASSO 1914 BASEBALL TEAM. Top Row— Coach Reagan, Himnioutt, Bakemeici-, Dog-ftt, Calvort.

' 1 l ractice was started in the early spring H b ' Coach Brown and was carried on k H the college gym until the weather S Si permitted out-door practice. A larg MANAGER WOOD „i„-,nber of men turned out for track, among them several freshmen with good high school and prep school records. A color meet, in which all of the men of the college were di- vided into two teams, was run off before the regular try-outs for the varsity team, and resulted in a victory of the Whites , captained bv T. H. Cox, over the Maroons , lead by Joe Roberts, by the score of 1519 to 1254. The track schedule as first arranged by Manager Wood included three meets: a dual with Indiana, the I. C. A. L., and the State meet. It was necessary to call off the State meet as it was scheduled for Memorial day and there is a faculty ruling against athletic contests on that day. The Indiana meet was also can- celled on account of inclement weather. To take the place 01 the Indiana meet a dual contest was scheduled with Rose Poly for May 16. Earlham had no difficulty in running away with the large end of the score in the Rose Poly meet, scoring 95 points to their opponents 30. Ren Winslow, a first year man, was high point winner for the Quakers, taking three firsts and two seconds for a total of 21 points. Winslow ' s firsts were made in the broad jump, 220-3 ' ard hurdles, and pole vault: and his seconds in the 120-vard hurdles, and the 220 dash. T. H. Cox was second best man winning three firsts in the 100-yard dash, the 220, and the 440. Captain Roberts captured first place in the 120 hurdles. While no records were hung up in this meet some of the events were pulled off in good time. Cox finished the 100 in 10:1, only one second slower than the I. C. A. L. record. In the higli hurdles, Roberts, running in 16.2 equaled the I. C. A. L. record. The I. C. A. L. meet, held at Wabash, was won by the Little Giants by a score 58. De Pauw took second place with 32 points ; and Earlham third with zy. The meet was featured by the work of Winslow of Earlham, who made high individual score with 12 points, from two firsts in the pole vault and low hurdles, and tying for second in the broad jump. Harvey Cox, who was counted on by Earlham supporters to take the 100 and 220-yard dashes, failed to place in either event. In the 100 he drew a bad outside track and as a result was barely nosed out of a place. In the 220 dash both Cox and Woodgate, Earlham ' s other representative, were penalized three yards for jumping the gun, and were un- able to entirely overcome this handicap although they ran a beau- tiful race. The time of both of these races was slower than Cox had made the week before against Rose Poly. Cox ran a good race in the 440, winning by several yards in 52 :i. Roberts of Earlham took first in the high hurdles but did not equal his performance of the previous meet, running three fifths of a second slower. Woodgate made four points for the Quakers with a second in the 100, and a third in the 220. Darnell won third in the half mile. Earlham ' s failure to score any points in the weights, and her ill luck in the dashes was largely responsible for her failure to anne.x the meet. The two-mile race, inaugurated this year for the first time in the I. C. A. L., was won by Gavit of Wabash in 10 min- utes flat. This was one of the prettiest races of the meet. Jones of Earlham took the lead at the first and maintained it until the last 220-yard stretch when Gavit running with a strong sprint passed him and won the race. .Although the weather was perfect for a track meet no records were broken and few events even approached the record marks.

THE SARGASSO 1914 TENNIS .Mthough getting a late start on account of the wet spring there has been more than usual enthusiasm among Earlhani racquet wielders. No sooner had the frost and rain given the courts chance to drv than they were occupied from morning to night. The new courts, just north of the old courts were completed this spring by the Athletic Association. The annual college tournament was started abcmt the first of Mav and plaved out to the semi-finals in anticipation of the tour- nament with I ' .utler College. Three men. McMinn, Edwards anc Converse, represented Earlhani and won four of the five matches from the Christians. In the singles Edwards won two matches, and Converse won one and lost one; and in the doubles McAlinn and Converse came (iff victors in ,i iIi.nc r. mUst. In the semi-final round of the college tournament Edwards was defeated by .Mc.Minn and Converse; and McMinn won the finals and the right to play the singles in the I. C. A. L. In the 1. C. . . L. tournament the Earlhani double team. Mc- Minn and Converse, met Hanover and were eliminated after a close match. McMinn also was put out of the singles in the first round by Rose Poly. With the two new courts added at Earlhani this vear the Qua- ker institution has more courts than anv secondary school in the state. The fact that they are continually in use indicates that there is more than usual interest in tennis at Earlhani. The annual girls ' tennis tournament was late in getting started this year and will iMl lie finished until near tlie end nf the semester.

There is produced also at these gatherings, they tell us, a miniature Earlham atmosphere that closely resembles the famous Earlham spirit. I ' onr clubs or local Earlham organizations are found on the list, with what is called the Alunnii Association at the top, the execu- tive and real head of Earlham Alumni with headquarters at Rich- mond.

I supposi the oddities (jf those days is what is wanted, the mistakes, the w ' hinis, the suiierstitions — but I was one of them ; catch me giving them away? I was asked, How is Earlham? ' ' the last time 1 was away. Just the same, was my reply. That has been my answer ever since ' 70. Individuals change just as the tad- pole into the frog ; as the caterpillar into the butterfly ; but growth is slow ; scarcely to be noted from year to year in Earlham ' s case. At this moment 1 have little idea what I can say, luit it shall be something tliat shows the men of ' 70 fit to have sired the Earl- ham of today. Were they resourceful ? Every one of them yas born in pioneer days; the elders, the leaders among them, were these ver pioneers; they had kindled a fire with a jack knife and a piece of flint picked up by the road; they had studied by a pine knot fire, if they came from a pine knot country; and if they did not they had torn a strip from a handkerchief, put mo.st of it in a saucer of lard and lighted its tip and studied by that ; they studied mind you. What difference does it make how their light was made, sn they cnuld see b ' it? The hchen wliich makes the gra - spot on the bark of a birch tree is the type of pioneers; it is twins ; a mushroom and a fresh water seaweed have gone in cahoot. An inhospitable rock in the Pacific may be their home — the mushroom clings for both ; it makes a leathery but translucent skin that keeps the seaweed from drying up ; it makes reservoirs, cisterns, to catch the water when it rains ; the seaweed, protected and supported, grows and grows and makes from air and water and any- dust that may come along, food for both. So the colony thrives; soil gathers; otiier pores and seeds come ; the moss, the fern and the oaks spring up; animals come; man comes: steeples arise; schools are founded ; a state springs up ; this is the wluile story of Earlham m all its stages. The pioneers must be econumical and helpful as the lichen part- nersliips. The lived in log houses. They gloried in them and i;ot out of them: they would not have been our ancestors if they had not done both. They had no sawmills, no lumber. While they got these, they had to live somewhere, so the log house came. Today does rot see how 250 people could live in Earlham Hall only, and carry nn all the acti ' itics of a college in it. We did it THE SARGASSO 1914 C because we had to have an education then and there was no other way. We did it in all cheerfulness. If all our buildings but Earlham Hall should burn in a nighl, because we are sons and daughters of Earlhani ' s past, our eyes would suddenly be opened in the same night by the touch of the conflagration, and Earlham would go right out. Evolution is not done yet, as our theology has grown, as our curriculum has grown, as our buildings have grown, we also have grown. Are all these things, and others, better than form- erlv? For us, yes; for our fathers they would have been impos- sible. A poem, says Lowell, is the before unconceived, uncon- ceivable whole . Earlham is a great poem. If we were content with today as it is decay would have already marked us for her own. Let me assure you from inside knowledge that this is not the case; there are more dreams and schemes connected with President Kelly ' s look ahead than all the presidents that preceded him, and these were worthy in their day. One of them read an address to the rulers of Russia on peace and shortly after the Czar called the first world ' s Peace Conference. It was a brief, worthy address that the Society of Friends ought to hang in the Temple of Peace. Another of them, broken in health, went to North Carolina to recover. He saw the desolation of war yet resting on the cause of Education in the Societv of Friends and he so cheered the resident forces that it sprang into more than its original efficiency. Another one commanded the finances of the Northwest in our Society and they obeyed as thev had not done for a generation. The queerest of all queer organizations known to me is the Earlham Faculty. It wants to change and it does change the rules so that no sooner is the Catalogue published than it is out date. The morning of the twenty-first century is sure to make great sport over the issue of 1914. We shall then be the past ourselves, and whether we will or not, we will be reviewed by those who have better opportunities to review us than we to review our fathers. They published no Sargasso. Here ' s a hail to the coming singers. Like the Irishman who made fun of the bull before he got over the fence where the bull was we are ahead ; we have had our laugh first. Here are some of the doings of which I was a part in the seventies. There was a banquet in 1873 ; don ' t get Delmonico ' s in mind, It was in the dining room ; a senior was called on for a speech ; he responded too full for utterance. He told the truth ; a rare thing for a banquet speaker ! Our professor of Botany was all enthusiasm; the day came for classifying the May apple ; he read from Gray ' s Botany ; eaten by pigs and boys and added joke on the pigs ; it is said that he made the same remark every year of the seventies. Our professor of Ornithology put the question : Which bird is the most beautiful singer? A senior of ' 73 said, The jay bird. It is surmised that this is the only bird he knew. We passed autograph albums in those days and wrote things tender or otherwise in them ; the champion of the jay bird noticed that many sentiments were taken from the classics ; why not from the mathematics. A future college president wrote ; Truth crushed to earth will rise again. What could his best girl write on the page oppo- site to match it? She did write so will mullein. A professor of the older school ' ' who had survived into the .seventies suggested a cure for profanity: A scholar, he said, should not b e reduced to such an extremity as to call a man a fool ' trapezium or a parrallelopiped. ' . We adopted, however, in 1873 under the lead of our since world traveller an assvmtote instead. By a rule of the Governor, the girls had bounds for their walks; the - might go west of the college drive even to sunset ; likewise the boys might go east outside of the limits of Richmond even to sunrise; but some of the boys were perpetually turned around; to these the sun always rose in the west. I have been asked to say a few words about the alumni et al- umnae ; my recollection is that it was a fit audience though few in 1873 when I began to know it from within; at least the initiation of that year put the new members in the majority, and yet there were but thirteen in the class. We concluded when the seventy- four came we would re-organize it and put it in the way to fame, but ' 74 came and wc were gone as the previous had scattered. THE SARGASSO 1914 That class could only repeat the resolution. I or years it was a different body every yt;ar ; the president elect came and the orator and a different half dozen, wliich grew in time to a dozen. The classes were small; when Morris P. Wright came to the college he said The class of 70 is having a re-union. It was a voluntary organization with voluntary hies and with perfect equality for all who came whether they had paid or ex- pected to pay anything or not ; a band of brothers and sisters who loved their dear old mother and were sorry she was still a widow so far as sheckles went. They had nothing but enthusiasm and ideals to imjiart. whicii she scarcely admitted she needed. The classes were not large enough to be clannish or even to have a class spirit. They merged their enthusiasm into an Earlhan- .spirit, which as Earlham has grown has become so un wieldly it has broken up into class spirit reaching out for definite things all to the same end. I remember for the old days of the alumni its unseeking affection whichever fraction of the members happened to come back to commencement. The first alumni address I remember was about 1870; 1 was a siiphomorc — make allowances; its subject was Was Xapoleon a Myth? 1 thought it was a great address, worthy of the college and of its author. I remember nothing beyond this impression. I do not know which side of the question the orator took. Public sentiment. History, seems to be divided ; I think that this oration was. It was spirited, judicial, and believed in all its propositions. I was proud of the occasion and the audience ; the ]jerformance was alive, as a thousand others have been since; we lived because thev lived. 1884 marks the lieginniiig of l ' arlli;uirs e.xpaiision. That vear P arlham was as large as the State L ' inversity. .Ml the strong colleges of the state rose together. Past question, thev helped each other to rise. Every professor that year occujiied a settee which contracted slowly — too slowly into or towards a chair, ' i ' herc was a long rest on the sociable before the chair came, as for instance; Modern Languages and History into first ricrnian ard I ' Tench, and then (iernian onlv. - t all stages the professors have loved their suljjects, their pupils, and tlie science and art of teaching. The past Earlliam and the present are full of promise for the future. D. Dl-N.VIS, ' JT,. THE SARGASSO 1914 EX-FOURTEENS As a particularly large and flourishing ' class the seniors of 1914 entered the chambered halls of Earlham in the fall of 1910. A number of the members of that freshman class will not finish with us: a few have married, but the majority of the ex-14 ' s are teaching or are engaged in business professior.s. To those who have once belonged to our class we dedicate this page with the sincere regret that they have not been with us all four years.

EDITOR ' S CORNER If you, who scan these pages, perchance may feel that you have had a satisfying peep at Earlham for the college year 1913-1014, Anno Domini, we, who have labored to make another Sargasso for Earlhara ' s friends, will settle in our chairs with some degree of comfort. A great pleasure it has been to bring these things from the highways and hedges of our Alma Mater and put them together. As we have worked W ' ith growing interest, a fresher idea of what one splendid year at E. C. really means has come to us, and we are glad to have been in such a place. Those things that endear the very memory of our college days, we find stored up in memory books ; in this book mayhap, but best of all, in our hearts. The great growth that some of you have gained here cannot be chronicled between these covers. No one but you could know or write that story. But the mileposts and the signboards along the way, the faces and the shell of Earlham we hope to bring you, just as a suggestion of the great good thing that Earlham is herself. This is the third Sargasso: — It is the smallest Sargasso, the largest annual. We pray of you tender consideration — for its untried reputation may need careful handling — that it may become liiinly established as Earlham ' s year book. We realize with twinges of remorse that perhaps there are bald mis- takes in this book, not only of commission but of omission. We beg of each reader to remember the frailty of human nature and especially of the staff whose guileless countenances confront you from that page over there, those coiuitenances which these words will have to face as long as this copy l;isfs. Anil may the gentle reader be indeed a reader gentle toward the ' ;; I iiil nit icins of ye editors. Willi Invitation we Wrote Volume 111 on the title page, a deference to those two splendid volumes, 1906 and 1909, almost bidding us write Volume I, as of a different series — but a strong desire to carry on the good name already made and to coiuiect the coming Sargasso with the past, bade us write Volume HI. So go, little book, and if you bring one-tenth as much joy and Earlham life to those wdio turn your pages as you liave brought to those who made you, vou will indeed do a great work.
