IN presenting this, our third College Annvial to the public, we can not but feel the least bit elated over the improve- ment we think we have made in the stvle, printing, and artistic work over previous issues. We have discarded the paper cover, and in its place a cloth-bound book is presented, one that can better ex]3rcss the rapid advance of our Alma Mater. Our task has been bv no means an easv one, striving to please every one, and to confine our efforts to the amount of money on hand. Some of the work we hope has been vcll done, for this we beg your praise. Much of the work we know we have done poorly, for which we earnestlv beg vour charitv. And in reviewing the work, ve would beseech the public to attribute the failures and shortcomings of this issue to the impotency, not of our beloved institution, but to that of the editors themselves. Begging for leniency on the part of the students and the public to vards our failures, ve remain Yovir humble servants. The Editors- -= ' f Editorial Staff. CilAS. V. LALLANCE, Editor-in-Chief. J.

If S ) those students desiring to economize and, at the same time, secure all the advantauesol a complete college education, theladiesof the Sovith- ern Presbyterian Church have erected a beautiful, large and commo- dious brick Ijuilding on the west side of our campus and in near proximity to the college. This handsome building is of red brick with white stone or- naments, large and roomv and well ventilated, excellently lighted and fur- nished ; situated on the most beautiful cjunpus in the South; shady, com- fortable and clean. Under the efficient management of an excellent matron, the students are surrounded by fdl the refining and eulturing influences of a Christian home. Students are made to feel that this is their home, and all are jilaced u])on their honor as gentlemen to behave properly and orderly at all times, and to ])reserYe this fitting memorial to the noble deeds and gen- eious lives of its founders. The cam])us, consisting of fortv acres of beautiful rolling land, on vhic h is a charming grove of ma])le trees, intersjjerscd with walks and winding drivewavs, furnishes a cool and pleasant retreat from the hot, dustv citv, and doe.s much to eliminate the loafing on oin- streets and in our jiublic places. Indeed, it is doubtful whether a better place for students could be found in this country. The Hall, as it is familiarly called, is the model place for students ' convenience, and all should avail themselves of the glo- rious opportunity offered them. The dining hall is large and nice find furnishes am])le room for accommo- dating seventy-five students, and on its tables is found good, wholesome food, served in the best possible manner, besides all the delicacies of the sea- son. For the stiidinas student this is the best possible place to board, since it affords a ipiiet ])lacc to studv, and its nearness to the college makes it 1 . M ' very convenient to study between recitations in the student ' s own room. To the athletic student it also strongly recommends itself as the best possi- ble place, since all the athletic tracks, tennis courts, base ball and foot ball fields are at his very door, and he only needs to step out of his room to be on the grounds. One other feature that also makes it doubly attractive to him is the convenient and excellent shower baths, either hot or cold, that are to be found at all times, in the Hall basement. To the reader, it is the ideal place, and to the thinker, his Paradise. In- deed, taking it all in all, it is the home for bo s, and every year sees better order and an increased number of students within Its hospitable walls. IB ! i A The College of Philosophy, LETTERS AND SCIENCE OF CENTRAL UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, KY . ( ' II mils department oi Central rniversity is situated in Riclnnond, Kv., a citv ot six.thonsand inhabitants, in the midst of the most beautiful rolling and fertile ])oi ' tion of the blue grass region of Kentucky, near the foot hills of the Cumberland Mountains, at an elevation of five hundred feet al)ove the Ohio River. A more l)eautiiid |)laee to establish the Institu- tion could not have been selected. The buildings, consisting of college build- ing proper, Dormitory, Preparatory Gymnasium and I ' acultv row, are situated in a beautiful grove of niajjle trees on the outskirts of the citv. The illustrations can give bat a slight ideii of the beautv of the campus. It is ])ronounced bv all visiting college teams (and in course of a vear we have manv) to be the hnest in the South. The class of ' ' .)( , as all classes have in the past, in the future will long for just one day in which to stroll over the old campus jind let each tree, corner and stile Ijring back ha])])v mem- ories of bvgone davs. The college is devoted to the liberal education of the vouth of the land ; we have students from tlie frozen lakes to the warm climate of Florida. In our I ' liiversity last year tliirtv-two States and Ter- ritories wei ' e represented. ' I ' he college of philosophv, letter,- and science confers fovu degrees on her gTadiu ' ites, i.e., B.L., A.li., H.S. and A.M., besides having elective studies leading to all ])rofessions. Her chairs are filled bv men from the first insti- tutions in the world. Our worthy Chancellor, believing that a sound and strong body is conducive to a healthy mind and hard study, has succeeded in securing a military station, and for over four years the cadets of C. U., imder the instruction of Cajitain Henry Vvgant,l ' . S. A, have been the best drilled cadets in Kentuckv. The benefits of the drill are a])])arent in the improved carriage and de])ortment of the student body. Thev have reci- tations in Militarv Tactics and lectures on military subjects. The re- straint of militarv life is only re(|uired during dull hours, and thereby they have the advantages of the militarv school withotit the customarv re- straint. Xor are we lacking in ways to imjirove the ]: hysical man. In the fall a field to those who wish to gain honor on the gridiron is oftercd, while to those who prefer lighter work the Gym is open. Regular classes are held iii the Gvm, under the personal supervision of the Physical Director ' ' during the months when outdoor exercise is not practicable. In spring, when the first prettv weather comes the gridiron is turned into the diamond and the student has a chance to show his skill at the national game. The cinder track is full of aspirants for honors to be won in the coming field dav exer- cises, and manv a student who has worn himself out with work during the long winter nights, finds health and renewed vigor for studv in this exercise. The pale and sicklv student is a thing of the past. We encourage and fur- nish a stimulus for a man to take the necessary amount of exercise. Last year the scholarship at C. U. was higher than it had been for many years, and a lively interest in athletics was present all during the year. This is the twentv-second vear in C. I ' . ' s life, and we, the twentj -second Senior Class, know that we, with all others, look back on our Alma Alater with veneration. Her advances are watched bj us with pride, and we are alwavs glad to see her come to the front in everything. We wish to see her seated in Fame ' s fair temple, the grandest institution that man ever looked upon. f 17 ■ Louisville College of Dentistry, Louisville, Ky. L. H. BLANTON. D.D., ChanC£I-LOR.

FOUNDER OF THE LOUISVILLE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY. p The Medical and Dental Departments Of Central University. THESE important departments of our institution are located in Louis- ville, Ky. The attendance was increasing so rajiidlv in 1S9() that it became necessary to erect a large and handsome building to be used as a hospital. For this purpose the Faculty has purchased property front- ing on Gray street, and running back to the rear of the present college build- ing, separated by a public alley twenty feet wide. Upon this property a hospital of modern design, three stories high, running back 150 feet to the alley, is now being erected. It will contain four wards and a large number of private rooms, besides a clinical amphitheater of the most recent design, thoroughly equipped with an arena for aseptic surgery and a ssating capaci ty for 300 persons. The new infirmary will front on Gray street, noted for the quiet elegance of the homes of our best citizens. There will be easy access through the rear of the college bviilding across the alley, directly into the hospital. The building is to be completed and thoroughly equipped for both medi- cal and surgical cases before the opening of the session of 1897, and will add greatly to the superior advantages already enjoyed by the classes as- sembling annually in this magnificent institution. This enlargement of the facilities of the medical department will be ac- companied bv correspondingly important additions to the facilities now en- joyed by the dental department, which is already one of the best equipped and most flourishing colleges of dentistry in this countr For the Dental Department also a handsome and elegantly arranged new building is fitted out with an equipment for the scientific teaching of dentistry surpassed bv no institution in the country. Like institutions in other cities have been visited and their inside workings carefully noted, and i [ 4 if all their modern appointments secured in this institution for the comfort and convenience of the student in his stvidy. The Faculty has been chosen with a view to the especial fitness of each man for the position he is to occupy, and embraces men capable as teachers and eminent in the profession. The City Hospital, the largest institution for the care of the sick in the city, is directly ojjposite the College. Its wards are at all times open to the students of this College, and frequent opportunities of witnessing sargical operations are enjoyed by the class, thus giving the dental student much valuable instruction. The high standard of excellence which has long characterized the Hos- pital College of Medi cine, and made that institution so justly famous, is maintained in the Department of Dentistry, which is a sufficient guarantee that the graduates of this school will be fully equipped to become eminent in their profession. To oljtain the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgerv, the candidate muU have attained the age of twenty-one vears ; he must have attended three full courses of lectures, the last of which must have been at this College; he must pass a satisfactory examination in all the branches especially relating to dentistry ; he must deposit in the museum of the College a creditable specimen of prosthesis. Graduates in the Dental Department mav obtain the degree of M. D. ])v attending two additional sessions and passing satisfactoi ' y examination in the Medical Department of the University. ¥a ' MEDICAL CLINIC. HOSPITAL COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. LOUISVILLE.

TANniXG on the lofty jjinnacle of Senior majjnanimity, g-azinp about ;ind around me, I behold the faees of my fellows beaming with the eon- seiousness of achieved success and of their exalted position as members of the glorious class of ' 96. Our course has been one great campaign, and we have looked forward to this day, since first we joined battle with Rob- erts and Algebra to the final contest with Barbour and Astronomy. In the first great struggle after our arrival on the field in ' 92, our com- panv suffered sevcrelv, many being wounded, and some few killed outright, but their comrades, under the leadership of Gen. James McPherson Corneli- son, pushed on to a victory that completely annihilated Gen. Tex, and fullv revealed the intricate plans he had laid for our overthrow. Tex hav- ing been vanquished and his lieutenant. Green, blinded by the smoke of bat- tle and further disabled by the explosion of a bomb hurled against his strong- hold bv Capt. y. Speed Smith of our army, who was himself severelv injured bv the recoil, being compelled to resign, the boys of ' 96 were free to turn their attention to other fields. It was at this jjoint in ( ur career that the officers of our armv received a challenge from a very egotistical and self-sufficient class of individuals called S(5phs, to try issues with them in a game of foot ball. By way of diversion we accejjted the challenge. At the appointed time both elevens were on the field, the Sophs feeling very large and imjjortant, and we, in comparison, very small tind insignificant. The game was called and the first half plaved with might and main, but with all we could do we seemed doomed to dishonor and defeat. All this time, however, we had a reserve force of which we were all unconscious. Over on the side lines watching the game with painful interest, there stood a little, low, j)lump, red-faced, red- 31 fe J. ' f . . . . . ' haired individual, too modest to ask to take part, ' et almost overcome with eagerness to help us out. During an intermission our Captain, noticing his sturdy build, proposed to try him. This we did, and it saved the day, for the Sophs were suddenly seized with a peculiar sinking feeling and went down before the rushes of th auburn-haired farmer like Kansas cabins in a cyclone, and no wonder, for this prodigy of ours used his crown with all the skill of his father ' s she. p, thus illustrating the power of association upon the habits of man. Our Generals having thus proved their ability as athletes, now began to prepare for a more serious contest. Accordingly detachments were sent against the French, German and English forces, under the command of Maj. Gen. Ake, a very skillful and wily veteran, the victor of manv campaigns. The difficulty in defeating this cunning old fellow lav in the fact that he al- ways kept the enemy under the impression that he was progressing finelv, seeming himself all the time not to be particularh ' concerned, even going so far as to crack jokes with the opposing leaders between battles; thus blinded the enemy would become careless and let his opportunities slip heedlesslv away, until Gen. Ake, with his forces concentrated and his plans well laid, would pounce down upon him in a great battle and scatter him to the four winds. But the lads of ' 96 being forewarned of this peculiarity of the old veteran, were on their guard, and having chosen for their leaders Generals Riggs and Lallance to go against the French and G erman forces, and Misses Letcher and Crow, who figured as Joans of Arc, who were not burned at the stake, to lead against the English, after a long and exhausting struggle we achieved a glorious victor ' ; and Major Ake stands todav as a battered monument to the prowess of the band of ' 96, so thoroughly was he hum- bled that in succeeding years he has been defeated with comparative ease, so much so that he has been debating whether or no he shall have a place where the battles are so terrible and the pay so tame. While this fierce struggle with the allied French, German and English forces was in progress, another of far greater furj- was raging with the ar- mies of Greece and Rome. It was during this campaign that the use of cav- alry was first introduced. Some of our officers finding the fortifications of the enemy extremely difficult to scale, especially those devised bv Cicero and Demosthenes, and employed with great success by Gens. Crooks and Baden, began to look about for means to surmount this difficult v, when one eve- ning while all our officers were collected for consultation, one of the number produced a communication which he had just received from a house in New York, Arthur Hines Co. bv name, proposing to supply us with any num- 3.5 v :m ■m vc - of little finimals, called donkeys, which could ascend with ease the steep- est declivities. We inimediatelv ordered a nu nbe. ' of these and distributed them to those of our command who were poor pedestrians. With the aid of the cavalrv thus fijrmed, the Ciccroniri.i-De.aiosthe.iian fortifications were translated from the face of the earth, and Gens. William and Charles wci e comjjletelv overcome with voiider to know how it was done. In the spring of ' 94 our army gathered its forces together for a com- bined attack u])on a certain inan, known as Capt. Kennedv, who, though conscious of previous tritnnphs, thought by the aid of the peculiar instru- ments of -warfare in his ])ossession to strike terror to our hearts, and, in fact, in the first three or f(nn- jiitched battles, our enemv filled the air with such cpiantities of overpowering fumes, and devouring flames, accomj anied by the discharges of a gun loaded with an invisible but deadlv gas, that ve fled in confusion from the field. But after some weeks, having somewhat recovered from ovir fright, we rallied our scattered forces and held a consul- tation of officers to decide on measures of procedure. Finallv it was de- termined to send three spies into the enemv ' s camp to examine his weajions; so, while the foe was out on a foraging expedition, these spies stole silentlv into the deserted works. Heie a curious sight met their gaze; arranged in long ro vs on the enemv ' s breastworks were numerous jars and fiasks filled with all kinds of gases and li(|nids: connected with the jars bv small tubes were huge rubljer bags, from which the jars were supplied with gas. The bovs having uncovered all the jars so the gas might escape, and having collected all, prepared to leave, when one of them noticed, in the arra} ' of flasks, one that appeared to be filled with as]Daragus tips; this arti- cle of food being scarce in our camp at that time of year, he brought it awav, and when at a safe distance from the enemy ' s stronghold, curious to examine the su])pose(l ti])s more eloselv, took one from the jar in his fingers, when, immediatelv on ex])osure to the air, the ti]j burst into a fiame and showed such wonderfvd aifinitvfor the human ]ieri])herv as onlv ])hos])horous cm. .Mtcr this exjieriencc the sjiies returned to our camp, bringing the cap- tured munitions of war. The enemv on his return, finding all his guns spiked and his ammunition gone, forthwith made pr..)posals for i)eace, which ve accepted on condition of his withdrawal. In addition to the foes already named, which we met and overcame, was one whose mode oi warfare was of the most primitive, ct of the most foimiidable kind. His wcajions consisted of stones, sand and all kinds of petrified insects, l)eside overhanging elifts and wluilc seas of water with which to l)ui v and drown his foes. The comm. ' inder )l the op])osing forces ; l i .... . - z was an exceedingly gruft and surly old giant bv the name of Parks, but bet- ter known among us as Capt. Carbon. His plan of attack was laid down in a huge volume, called by him geology, copies of which he always dis- tributed to the enemy, having no fear of his devices being interpreted, as the volume was in a foreign tongue, wholly incomjjrehensibk ' to all save him- self. Bv reason of much labor and worry and time spent in trving to de- cipher his intentions the enemy usually became so much confused that they were entirelv at his mercv. In our verv first skirmish with Capt. Carbon we saw that we stood no show whatever, and after he had hurled at our heads several showers of stones and trilobites, accompanied by such terrible ejaculations as never before issvied from the mouth of man, we became weak with terror and cried for mercy, when, to our surprise and relief, Old Car- bon, who, with all his bear-like exterior, had a varm heart, permitted us to capitulate f)n honorable terms, and to pass on our wav humbled but hojic- ful. Having thvis escaped Ca])t. Carbon we now come to the final fray of oiu ' noble band, and one which all but proved the destruction of its two bravest warriors, Alexander the Great, and Lord Cecil. The opposing forces in this terrible onslaught were the sun, moon and stars, the mode of attack being devised by Gen. Long Green Barbour, the most merciless and un- compromising enemv we had to encovmter. During the battle Alexander and Cecil became so much confused by the shooting stars, the whirling of planets and the heat of the sun, that they were unable to escape, and we, though victorious, were so badlv shaken up that ve were unable to aid them, so they were captured bv the cruel old tvrant and subjected to innu- merable tortures until, having labored very earnestly for several weeks, they eftected their release, and are todav fully recovered from their fright, safe in the ranks of the victors. So well conquered was Gen. Barbour that not long since he looked on resignedly while the enemv took his long-range gun from its housing, and having mounted it, saw revealed through its mystic barrel all the secrets of his distant allies. Having thus traced our company through the chief struggles of its career. The Historian ' s task is done, A glorious victory is won. And Finis coronat opus — The end crowns the work. R. T.

For Sopho- mores this would be all riyht. But a Junior Class without a history, what a calamity 1 Xinety-seyeu may not be particularly historic, but certain- ly we can furnish some gems of reading- matter that would be interesting, vhether in paper covers, or engraved on tablets of brass or blocks of stone. Our Junior year has not been a very eventful one. We have joumeved quietly and faithfully on our mission, and as we leave this year to the cease- less record of the past, it is with much regret that we see so many golden opportunities vanished. Our class, like hundreds of other classes, started out well enough, but alas! many have fallen hv the wayside. We have worked faithfully and hard, and the teachers are not slow in recognizing ovn- ability. We are a set of gentlemen, at least we try to be, and you who ex])eeted to find an ex- citing description of a cane-rush at the dead of night will be mistaken. You who expected a harrowing, blood-cLirdling story of death-dealing gases and midnight hazing will also be mistaken. We have departed from those cus- toms long ago ; in fact ever since the Junior Class of ' 95 made it so miser- able for us as Freshmen. We see the folly of such actions, and now the in- nocent freshie lives in jierfect safety. The historv of the class properly begins on one of the jjleasant Septem- ber days in 1895, when, as if by magic drawn, we found ourselves at a small town, Winchester, some twenty miles from our destination. To say- that we were a motley crowd is putting it too mildly. There was the rustic lad, Houston, wearing the proverbial blue cravat and carrying a cotton umbrella; there were the more polished Pickett and Scott, with their neath - fitting cutaways and sweet-smelling cigarettes ; there was the slow boy. Bogeys, he of the nasal twang ; and scores of others. After searchino- vainly for six hours for something to eat, and not succeeding, we left Yin- . 39 p A Chester on the niyht train, alter carefnlly wijiinu; oft the dust that had ac- cumulated on ovu ' feet. On our triuni]5hal entrv into Kichniond we were met at the train bv a brass band, carried around over the city, and finally deposited in our own rooms at the comfortable Dorm. Never before had we been treated so no- bly, and such was onh- the beginning of our otherwise very eventful year. As a class we have done wonders in everv department of the college world. Our Burton won the Junior Oratorical over all competing classes, but bv the way, onlv Juniors were allowed to compete. Our Scott won two second place medals in the big Southern Intercollegiate, though the Seniors will tell you that he bought the race from the other athletes with a pack of cigar- ettes and six matches. Pickett came very nearly breaking the world ' s record at the shot and hammer throwing, but broke his ankle instead some weeks before he started into training. Alourning, he with the girl ' s complexion, would have broken the school record in vaulting if he had vaulted higher, and had he not knocked the cross-bar down. Toe Boeg ' s woidd have undoubtedly won the highest average medal if he had been more Ijrilliant, and had studied harder. Thus you see we were sadlv handi- capjjcd, and while we have the ability, we certainly lack the determintition and energv which will enable us to triinii])h over the most formicL ' iljle of ob- stacles. It is true that our class is not as large as some now in college, but the ])rofessors sav that in its compressed strength there is stored a world of force. Since our exit from the So])h. Class we have been original and in- augurative; followed no established customs, blacked no Ijoots, done obei- sance to no man save the siren-like Faculty. We claim to run faster, swear harder and drink more frappe than anv ])recceding class. We are not entirely out of society, either, but have ado] ted a verv novel and convenient method ; we elected a committee of three men, Scott, Pickett and Houston, and they make all the socictv calls, escort all the fair ones, and do everything in tact that, otherwise, woidd fall on the entire class. The chronicler of ' 1 7 now finds himself m the same position that the ancient orator did, who, since he had begun, coidd find no ])lace to stop. But one more thought and we are through ; there is a pnrt of the historv of the class that is not apparent to an observer; our life is more than a mere succession of gaveties and sports, feasts and games. There is a s])irit cultivated here that can never be ae(|uired at any other jilace. A sjjirit of good fellowship ; a love for the Universtiy, and a proper ap])reciation of the rights of others. And now we close our brief and simjilc historv, . ' uul give our pen to ;ni illustrious follower, the Historian of the Class of ' 9S. ' m$i CLASS OF ' Sophomore MOTTO: EX NIHILO NIHIL FIT.

IV lliis Ijricf narrative of our sjrcat achievements shall jirove interesting to niv classmates and friends, and humble just a little the boastful s])irit of the Freshman, the historian will feel that his efforts have not l)cen in vain. The o1)jeet of all historv is not so much to inform the present age, as to guaixl against a time when our successors will neglect to treasure up the recollections of the past, and posterity ' will search in vain for memo- rials of the days of the Patriarchs. Anj one of the present could tell what our Class has done, but unless a histor}- were written, the future would be left without a knowledge of Ninety-eight ' s achievements, and our record is far too satisfactory to perinit a risk of its loss, ( ne book of our history is complete. Another year has passed, and the time has come to seal the second volume. Bvit let it be borne in mind that these volumes contain onlv the jirineipal events. It would be a difficulty, and space would forbid me the jn ' ivilege to name all our achievements. Nor is it mv intention to mention or discuss the various abilities of each individual. The most po- tent of chroniclers would become weary in attempting to discuss such illus- trious characters separatelv, and would exclaim, Thv wavs are beyond finding out. So taking up the historv where mv predecessor left off, I be- gin to refresh my memory of events which have made too lasting an im- pression on my mind to be ever forgotten. On the morning of the 11 th of September last, just as the grav d;i vn was cree])ing on the land, I looked forth from my window and beheld a sight most pitiful in realitv and vet most amusing. Wandering here and there over the campus might be seen grou]is of new comers, who, after a sleepless night, had come forth to breathe the fresh morning air and recruit tnemselves before thev made the final charge. But after breakfast was over and the college bell had sovmded the assembly, the Sophomores not altogether forgetful that they, too, were once Freshmen, condescended to render them anv assistance thev might need. So thus the new-comers were savelv conducted to the cha])el and given seats near the rostrum. Here thev were soon made to feel very com- lortable and at home by a most cheering sjieech from Dr. Hlanton respecting the matriculation fee. All the classes received some additions at the open- ing of school that were indeed worthv contributions. Rut it must trnlv be [ admitted that the Sophomore Class was blessed above all others when we mention Papa ' s Buss. The first thing we did, after school had begun for good, was to elect a President and Secretary. On this occasion a Senior had the audacity to make his appearance and was even so bold as to at- tempt to ofter suggestions. But you may be svire we soon bagged him, and since then the Seniors are as scarce as hen ' s teeth vhen the Sophs, are on the war-]3ath. The Freshmen, Bisset, Dunn and Bedinger, have long since given up the race for the medal awarded to the best eater, and now the Sopho- more representatives, Tex, Spogo and Juggie, contest among themselves. The social standing of our class far surpasses that of anv other. Of all our sports, Squire has proven himself to be the shining light. For after he se- cured his false teeth, and thoroughly broke them in, the social element of the dormitory was far too common-place for him. And so he sought a more congenial abode where the social arm was stronger. An important epoch in our historv took place one Wednesdav morning in Dr. Aker ' s room, when all had grown tired of the old Doctor ' s jokes and were listeningeager- ly for the bell. Suddenly, on this occasion, there was borne to our ears a sound that took the brightest minds some time to fully understand. The sound was a yell rudelv manufactured bv some Sophs, who had decided to cut on this occasion, and was as follows: ' Rah! ' Rah! ' Rah! Alligator bait ; Billie won ' t be here In ninety-eight. Ake opened his eyes in surprise and looked stispiciously around, while Fleece and Bobbie pulled their mustaches in profound silence. But on the next day Captain Stone was given the honor of conveying the remains of darling Billie from the place where they had been the cavise of so much anxiety and shedding of blood, to the depot, where they were destined to parts unknown. But here I must pause, for .space forbids me to write more. Here my la- bors come to an end, and I add but a parting word. Our journey has been fraught with toil and pleasvire, satisfaction and misgivings. Although we have not mastered all, ve have accomplished much ; and no v we await Avith anxiety the decision of fate on the examination days in June. Let us hope for the best ; and although we mav not be crowned with success, let us remember the words, If at first vou don ' t succeed, try, try again. Time will bring you your reward, trv, trv again. Is.v.vc F. Swallow. ■ Freshman Yell OFFICERS: 1 ; ' 99. fe .- MOTTO: PER ASPERA AD FAMAM. COi-OR: DARK GREBN. FLOWER: MARIGOLD.

THE Fi-eshman Class was organized on the lltli of September, 1S95, bet ' .veen the hoiirs of siin-rise and sun-set. Nature was at its k)ve- Hssc, the air was laden with balniv odors, the autumn leaves were tinted with an eternal glow, and the grass was at its greenest. All things seemed to be in harmonv with our spirits, and suited to the occasion. It is a time long to he remembered, how, upon that September morning, there was gathered together a set of boys whose history- will go down to the generations that arc to come, as that of the greatest class that ever stepped upon the threshold of a college career. With fluttering hearts they started upon that great race that must be run bv all who take a college education. Ambition, hope, faithfulness and work were their watch-words. Their motto was — A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. On the d ath of last year ' s Freshman Class, which is that of ' 9S, we assumed the reins of government, and at once evinced that genius for studv which has made us the conquerors of the college world. Each class has its history; each outranks its predecessor in fame, in glorv, and in intellect. Let us trace for a wdiile a few of the most important ha])]:)enings of so wonderful a set of beings. Plunging into work with an earnest zeal, thev have, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Xmas, and an occasional holiday taken bv themselves, worked with an ardor that knew no quickening, and a zeal that knev ' no lessening. I am afraid that I will not have room, words or time to tell of the midnight raids or escapades of the Popcorn Insurrection and the Ginger-cake Rebellion, in which this noble bodv took part. The foremost in foot ball, in base ball, in tennis, and in field sports, we stand on the stonewall of fame, without an equal in athletics. Fighting manv battles and winning many vietoi ' ies, we march along triumphantly, carrying forward the banner of ' 99. We have fought our fe; last fight, we have won our last victory in the Freshman Class. But we are like the Light Brigade, all of us did not return from the charge we made. The chasm has been leaped, and we stand safe upon the shores of the Soph. Class! But I must not forget to tell what became of the members that did not reach the happv shores. Some were unable to attempt the leap; som2 a-icd it only to sink to rise no more. The Faculty had a great deal to do with so manv of our number remaining over. Thev,not wishing to lose all of us the same 3 ' ear, decided, after much deliberation, to detain about half of us at least one, and possibly two years, or until they are able to fill our places. The first one of this uoIdIc body that I shall attempt to descrilie is no other than Air. J. S. Sehon, better known as Sea Lion. Having acquitted himself with glorv and fame in classical lines, he has turned his attention to the fairer sex, with whom he spends most of his time. The next, for I must be brief, is Carl Dav, the Demosthenes of the crowd, who makes speeches on all suljjects and on all occasions. He is the king of the K. H. B. ' s, and assistant Grand Shark of the R. A. R. ' s. Voltaire is the next character that I shall discuss. He is represented perfectly by J. E. Abbot. I am verv sorry that wc have such a man in our midst, for you know that Voltaire was an infidel and a blasphemer. ' 99 has von the battle for the free. Its voice sounds like a prophet ' s words. And in its hollow tones are heard The thanks of millions yet to be. It will send its influence down to the generations to come, and will rule the world in the coming century. The fame of this class is deathless ; it needs no sculptured gi-anite to re- mind the ]3eople of it in the years to come. For though the world shall be baptized in blood, and the mountains become valleys, and the seas go drv, I sav the fame of ' 99 will live. The I ' vramids of Egv]it shall crumble into dust, and time shall lie no more, but the glory, fame and honor of this class ( ' 99) shall live, for it is— (.)ne of the few, the immortal names. That were not born to die. T. llooi) LiTTLK, Histovinn. M. 1 I COLORS: WHITE AND BLUE. Ykll. w.

OX the niominsj; (if llic 1 1th of Se])teniber there mijjht have been seen a inotlev gjathering of bovs wlio had come from various places of the countrv. They had torn themselves from their mothers ' apron strings, and with vague, romantic ideas of school life, had turned their faces toward this august assemblv of wisdom. Once in awhile a Freshman could be seen ]ie?ping around the corner of the college building. They ventured no farther, for alreadv the Professors, with frowning faces and scornful ges- tures, were pointing them to the place where Full manv a flower is born to blnsli unsejn . But presiding over all this tumult, was the calm and serene J. (lordon Paxton, of Virginia, at whose feet we vere destined to sit and learn. Since that time, under the cfHcient mtinagement of that gentle- man and his deputies, Chandler, Roberts and Abbott, the wheels of wisdom have been smoothlv revolving in the craniums of the aspiring Preps . True it is that the implement of persuasion has been em])loyed occasionallv to eonviace the transgressor of the error of his way ; but it lends varietv to the monotonous routine, besides serving as a healthful exercise for both of the partici]3ants. As the days went by, every semblance of romance disap- jjeared, (save an occasional exhibition of speed by Prof. Chandler) and ererv thing became a stern reality. The social standing of the average Prep. IS hard to determine. He realizes that he is not quite worliv to associate with the Senior, and he is jjositively above leaping with such common spirits as Freshmen. Once in a while, however, a Freshman is so desirous of good companv that ( by the advice of his professor) he drops back among us. In such a case we pardon him for having been a Fresh- man, and receive him with open arms. .Vs Prejjs. aredeiicient in nothing, they are not much behind the college fellows in oratory. As the hills resound with the frantic cries of the Freshmen and Sophomores, even so the walls of Pre]) echo back the sound of voices that in the hitiire will cause the gladiators ujjon the oratorical arena ot college to tremble. This is done under the direction of Prof. Chandler, the noted Englishman of C. U. We are confident that vo:i will be con ' v ' iiaced of oar advance.nent in oratory by the folloY(, ' ing which escaped the lips of one of our most distingnished speak- ers while in the midst of a flow of eloquence: There was a gate. There was a latch That led into a melon patch ; There was a gun, It had two triggers, A loud report, and two dead iiiggei ' s. We are not certain whether this is a quotation from Cicero or Ca:sar. Which one of the gentlemen is responsible for it we kno y not, but letns con- sole ourselves with the thought that there is a final day of reckoning. Not- withstandiiig all the trials of the Prep. , there is something about him that tells you that he will succeed. Beneath that ragged yest there beats a heart that shall vet win the aftection of so me fair damsel ; beneath that coat of dirt there smiles an honest countenance. We have no doubt made great progress since September. We assure you that if yve can not stand on our heads better, and display greater lung power than formerly, it is not the fault of our present enyironments. As the year ' 9(3 draws to a close, it is with something of regret that we contemplate leaving our own beloved Preps. and returningto our homes. Yet, in some respects we are glad, for we have not been very greatly exalted in the opinions of so many in college projjer who fain would underesti- mate those who occupy the place where they themselves belong. Regardless of all this, we have held our noses as hi h as thev, and walked through it all with an audacity that no doubt astonished our oppressors. But the day of reward will cornel We will go home and stay with our mammas awhile and then return carrying canes as big as ever Freshmen sported, and there will be no holes in our best trousers ; leastwise if there are (like some Freshmen I know ) we will wear long-tailed coats. So, roll along, oh, changeful time, and bear us where thou wilt ; although thou dost carry us on until we are as withered and lean as Prof. Chandler, our voices as cracked as that of Prof Roberts, our e ' es as dim as Paxton ' s, and our heads as bald as Abbott ' s, never — ah, never will we forget the scene of so much mingled aspiration and fear — our beloved, our ever glorious Prep. !

HE year just closing is the eighth in the history of the Young Men ' s Christian Association of Central Uni- versity. As I look back over the year ' s work my first impression is one of regret that so much less has been accomplished than was planned for. At least that is the view as seen through eyes blinded by human short-sightedness. But it is good to think that perhaps it does not so appear to him in whose eve there is neither mote nor beam. Admitting that we have not been able to accomplish all that we hojied to, yet we feel that this vear ' s work of the Association may truly be said to be the most successful in its history. When we consider how much good has been accomplished in years past, how it has raised the moral and religious standard of the University, and how it has been the indirect, if not the direct instrument of bringing manv souls to Christ, we must recognize that the above statement is no meaningless one. To give a full review of our work during the ses- sion of ' 95 and ' 96 would fill considerable space. We can mention only a few interesting facts in regard to our work. Last fall, on the Friday night after the opening of the University, the annual reception was given in the Y. M. C. A. quarters. Invitations were extended to all the students, and the attendance was large, making it a success. The object of this reception is to bring together in brotherlv intercourse the new students, and to impress upon them that their lot is cast among gentlemen who are interested in their velfare and happiness. It is at this reception that the sweet in- fluences of Christian and social fellowship begin to foster and de- velop that feeling of true friendship and common respect that can alone make college life attractive and enjoyable. Thus in the verv beginning the impression is made that the object of the Association is to promote the growth of grace and Christian fellowship among the students and to encourage aj gressive Christian work lay and for the students. The conventions and summer schools arc tlie main sources from which we get our jjlans. The Association work is divided into several branches, viz : Biljle Studv, Summer Conferences, ETangdiBtic and Prayer service work. The agencv used for introducing the work is the Fall Cam- paign Committee, which consists of an organized committee of prominent Association men, who make arrangements and meet all incomiug trains at the opening of the college. Thev get acquainted with the new students and give them any asststance needed in hndiug their Ijoarding places and intro- ducing them. Through the services of this committee the new boys are soon made to fe:;l comfortable, and are surrounded bv frieiids. Our work would be almost useless without the gospel meetings. These iiicetiugs are conducted bv members appointed bv the Devotional Committee, and are held every Sunday afternoon in the Y. AI. C. A. room. The aim of our gos- pel meetings is to build up the kingdom of God by bringing men to Jesus Christ. Surelv there is much ennobling, self-sacrilieiug and helpful toward evangelizing the v,-oi-ld in each Christian student praving for the spiritual ujilifting of his own college, for the conversion of his unsaved associates, and not onlv for his own, but for those of everv other college as well. Our Association closes its work for the vear with the k-u-gest membership ever enrolled. In the reading-room, which is an important and appreciated fea- ture of our work, may be found the leading periodicals and magazines. The work of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is one that can not he summed uji in words, for its influence extends beyond hum.an comprehension and will not be known until that last day. The college young men of to- day are the ones who are soon to fill the various places of trust and re- sponsibility in this nation. Our future ministers, missionaries, rulers and mastcr-merchaius are to be found to-dav witiiu the college walls. Hence, our first object is to win to Jesus Christ these college men, who are to be the leaders of the nation. When rain and snow are taken out of tlie soil and lifted up into the grov ing vine, thev become a purple flood ; when phos- phates at the root ' s bottom are lifted to the top of the wheat stalk, they become the world ' s food ; when iron and carbon of the soil are lifted up and built into oak and pine, thev take a place in tmiversal art ajad industry; when stones arc lifted from quarrv into well and tower, they become tem- ples and ]:)alaces. So, when a voung man is lilted into the association of the most refining nature and suitaljle for the development of his better mo- tives, he n;iturrdly becomes as his environments. Is. AC I . Sw.VLI.OW. 4: J Philalethean and Epiphyi Literary Societies, tm HE orgtuiization of ti.e two literaj-y societies dates back almost to the begin nigg of tkc Universitv, and many pleasant recollections come ti ' oopijQg back at the mere mention of the old familiar names. Primarily formed to cultivate a taste for literary work, and to give that pi ' c- limiuarv trainiiig which CTcr}- well rounded college man shoidd have. To develop oratory and encourage the stu- dents to acq uirc a taste for purer reading and for clearer writing. To this aiin spacious halls have been assigned to the two literar}- societies, and these have been hand- somely fm-jiiiihed au4 carpeted at a large expense. Briil- iantlv lighted by gas, and cool and comfortable from tlicir position in the Univci ' sity, they fornia pleasant retreat for the seeker alter oratorical honors. The pri::e debates and other literary exercises are valuable auxiliaries in a coiirt-e of mental discipline and social culture. A knowledge of parliamentary law, the ability to de- bate on any subject without previous preparation ; the sociai ties and associations ; the friendly competition it ai- ford , all go to make it one of the most enjoyable features of college life. Annual debates are held, and handsome prizes are given to the fortunate contestants. The later- Society Declaniatoi ' y Contests for Fi-eshmen and Sopho- mores are held in the chapel, and always draw big au- diences from the elite of the city. Mj.-. Robert Stevenson, ' 98 of Phil. Society, won the handsome medal ofl ' ered in this contest this year, and, considering the great rivalry between the two societies and the close contest, he de- serves the high honors and the many congratulations of admiring friends, and thev are numlaered by the score. Li the Junior Oratorical Contest, Mr. Robert L. Burton, of Phil. Society, the Old Roman, as he is familiarly known, ■ ' has more than covered himself with honor this year. As informer contests, the rivalry was very great, and not until the judges had stepped upon the rostrum to deliver the medal and decide the winner, was the result fully known. The friends of the speakers fairly made Rome howl, until the final decision ; and besides, many handsome floral tributes were sent to the speakers. Mr. Burton was borne triumphantly out of the room on the shoulders of his admiring friends. Besides winning these two contests, Phil. Society has had the proud honor of sending her representative, in the person of Mr. Burton, to the Kentucky Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Associa- tion held at Lexington, Ky. ; and to the Chautauqua meeting held at the same place, in July. The Epiphylidian Society has been singularK- unsuccessful this year in everything. Not organizing until January, she has won no medals, and can hope for none while she remains so inactive. These important branches of college life may be made very profitable to the students, and it is especially recommended to them. If for nothing else than the social privileges it gives its members, let it be encouraged, and may all the students some day remember with pleasure the benefits they received. Historian Phil.

Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Chib is soon told. In September, 1894-, several students, ca- pal)le of plaving a few weird chords on stringed instruments, and also haviTig an unlimited amount of gall, and possessing that rare fortune, high ho])es and lofty asspirations, determined that their talents shoidd ret be hid under a bushel, and so they organized and began aetive jjraetiec. Thev practiced hard and often, but still the music which they had so much longed for never came. Desiring to know just how their efforts woidd sound in the o])en air, ( lor they had never ventured out of the club room, which, bv the wav, was the must} ' garret of the University), thev deter- mined to serenade some one. Picking one dark night, when everv one seemed asleep, they stole softly along until they reached Faculty Row. Trembling, thev crouched under the window ot the good I)r. Parks, ;inil after much preliminary tuning, they striick the first chords of that old song, Home, Sweet Home. Such music I It sounded like the village saw-filer at work, or the pleasant notes of a hoarse cat-bird. Dr. Parks, no doubt touched by the plaintive efforts of the club, shoved out a large black fi-i It cake to the trembling boys. They de.nolished that cake, and from that time thev were all right. One jx ' rson, ])ossessing no cEsthetic tastes, and a ]30or ear for music, generously ]iresented the club with a small brick hou.se — brick at a time — and two dozen antic|ue eggs of uncertain gender. The bovs were rudelv shocked, no doubt, to think their efforts were una])])rc- eiated. We practiced hard, and on our first aj)pearance before the public at the annual Athletic In(k)or Meet, we scored a success and won laurels for the first tilee Club in Central I ' niversity. Starting out in September, 189 ), with lietter facilities and an increased member.ship, the Club ' s success has been phenomenal. The oflieers were elected and the Club started out to make the best Club in the history of the school. Regular nights were set for practice, and nearlv every one has been punctual at the meetings. We have given fom- successfvd concerts during the year, and scored a hit in every case. Our Club has been on two trijjs during the year, and while one of them ])rovcd financially a failure, yet we enjoyed it immenselv, if the ])eople did not. Our Stanlord irij) was the best, ])erhaps, and the liovs cherish the good times as a ]ileasant sj)ot in their college career. r- (n r- g t. -H :2 1 (1 01 ( 1 1 r- CD O n i.

Henry Wy- gant, of the United States Army, an officer detailed b} ' the Sec- retar}- of War. In the four years Capt. Wvgant has been with us he has won his way into the hearts of the people, and to- day the I ' niversity has no stauncher friend or finner supporter than our own Capt. Wv- gant. A gentleman of strict military disci- pline, kind, generous and honorable, he is loved bvevervone, and by his earnest endeav- ors at all times, has he placed the Military Department on a solid founda- tion that bids fair to become the most enjoyable part of college life. Strict, finn to his post, vet the college bovs have no warmer friend in the I ' niver- sity. Instruction is given in both practical and theoretical drills in the in- fantrv and artillerv organizations. The organization is a battalion of two com])anies of infantrv and a batterv of two pieces of artillery. The object of these drills is to im jrove the health and physique of students, to culti- vate a spirit of ])ronipt and carclul attention, and to give that elementary military knowledge wliich everv citizen should possess, that he may render iiiLclligent and effective aid to his covmtrv in case of war and riots.

U. some five years ago, there has l)cen a marked change in the entire character of the school. From a quiet, unobtrusive college, it has developed into one of the best and most [jrogressive Universities in our State ; indeed it is doubted whether a better University can be found in the entire South. While great credit is due, and it must be given, to our own Dr. Blanton and the Faculty for much of this improvement, vet it can not be denied that the introduc- tion of careful and systematic athletics has also had a great deal to do with the success of our Alma Mater. Aside from the traditional base ball team, 92 Central University can not be saia to iiave had any atnljlicj before the year 1890. Dr. Blanton, realizing the need of that iaiportant b.a.ieli of work in the curriculum, secured a Physical Director, Mr. J. V. Frew, of Cam- bridge, Mass., a gentleman and a conscientious worker in every particular. Taking the work, as he did, with a crowd of green men, he e.- tablished die first foot ball team, the first college base ball team, and placed Lhc first track team in the historv of the University. The brilli;i it sajcj -; h ' at- tained, and the handsome silver service the team won in the big Inter- Collegiate Field-day, need only to be mentioned. Since then our s .cccss and progress has been phenomenal. In the Iventuck -Inter-Collegi itc iicets we have w on everj- one of them. We have won the dual meet with L. A. C. of Louisville, and this year, though poorly represented, we won four of tlie medals in the great Soutnern Inter-Collegiate. We have been trained by two other coaches, and their work has been eminently satisfactory. Our last trainer, W H. Lvon, of Ansonia, Conn., a young man of sterling qual- ities and merits, deserves more than a passing notice, for it is to him and by his eftbrts that C. U. has made such strides in her earnest endeavors after purer college athletics. Air. Lvon, believing that a bright future is before ■ athletics in the South, determined to place C. U. as the first college in the State to adopt strict and rigid rules against the professional element, and he has been untiring in his eftorts to purify athletics in our schools and col- leges. Fearlessly has he striven on every occasion to down the professional element and put true students in their places. Let the good work go on, and ma} ' the day soon speed when our college teams will have, as she ought to have, strictly college men. Let the students join in this general move, and may we realize that state of things wdiich has formerly been only a dream. All credit is due Mr. W. H. Lyon for his active eftbits, and he leaves our University for another field with the hearty congratulations of the teams and the entire student bodv. ■• J r c ' { ■• V || :e3 -- ' otbaU te ' Vx CAPTAIN.

No! we never can fortret EN Richmond the days of the leafy month of June are trul_v the melan- cholv davs, the saddest of the year, for then the Commencement gaveties are over, the college boys are gone, and no more tmtil Seirtember will they sing their gay songs to the sweet-toned lyre, nor make night hideous with their bracketv-cax or razzle-dazzle. ' Tis needless to say that the students, too, are yearning for the days that are past, and some of them for the girls they ' ve left behind them. They cannot but miss that hearty cor- dialitj ' and famous hospitality of the Richmond people, of which they have partaken so freely. Of all places there seems to be none so peculiarly fitted for an institution of learning as classic Richmond, as she sits queen of the blue grass, the garden spot of the world, claiming a refined and cultivated people, surpassed only by the few. For nhie months the homes of these people are thrown open to the students of C. U., and on entering them thev receive a welcome which only a college student can appreciate. These Rich- mond homes are beautified outwardly by all that skill and taste can add to nature, which is onlv an earnest ot the beauty and loveliness within. No home is perfect without the reigning, womanly divinity which is eminently the crowning beaut - of these households. The fraternities add greatly to the social enjoyment of college life. As for the sorority, being a member of that large and influential body myself, I shall refrain from speaking, but I would refer any very inquisitive reader to Cupid, who could many a tale tmfold. Never before in the annals of old C. U. has there been a happier or more joyous year than the one just past. In after years, when the foremost men of the age shall be pointed out as C. r. ' s sons, a drop of happiness will be added to the cup of the Rich- mond peojjlc, when thev remember that they added much to the college boys ' pleasure while in Richmond, and did much to make them what thev are. Let us hope that ' 96-7 may be as prosperous and happy as the session just closed, and while C. U. ' s students are waking up sleepy towns, ignorant of the blessings of college life, we are anxiously awaiting a speedy return of the brackety-cax. L. C. C. ( ' J.

Action is Life, th ' Alniignty worketh most; Upholding age on age, the starry host ; He guides all worlds ; He guards the sparrow ' s nest, By no fatigue distressed. Not so with Man. Our wearied temples ache; Muscle and brain some soft repose must take. To daily toil night bringeth a surcease, And Nature breathes her balm, and low winds whisper peace. Is there no clime, no Island of the Blest, Where active spirits never sigh for rest ? Where mind exultant wings its lofty waj ' Above the reach of weakness or decay ? Where dark ' ning night is not, — but one resplendent day ? Ah ! such a boon to mortals is not given, — That iov supreme, sublime; that higher bliss of heaven. Till then, toil on, this motto on our breast. Action, — then Rest ! And in von coming grandeur may we find Action and Rest, the twain, in one dear heaven combined. Richmond, Ky., June 17, 1896. L. G.
