Elatnwa Strung flinffatt, IBB. if AMES STRONG Kl'Ol7l7iX'll'll, the sixth President of lfrskine College. a son of Rev. NYilliam S. Moffatt and Klartha .lane XX'ilson, was born at VVheeling', Fulton county, Arkansas, -Iuly 17, 18oo. lle gained his elementary education from his mother, and afterwards attended schools in Uniontown, Ohio, at Xenia and St. Clairsville, in the same state. .Xfter two years in Erskine College, he spent two years in lXluskingtnn College, New Con- cord, Ohio, graduating there in 1883. Being received as a student in theology by the XVestern Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church, at Mulberry. Missouri, he took a three-years' course at the l'nited Presbyterian Seminary at Allegheny, Pa. In April, 1886. he connected himself with the liirst l'resbytery of the Asso- ciate Reformed Synod, and had charge of the mission at Charlotte, N. C. At Due lYest, S. C.. on November 23l'tfl. of the same year. he was married to Xliss Jennie Moffatt Grier, the daughter of Rev. Dr. XVilliam Nl. Grier and Xannie McMorrics. Having' received and accepted a call to Chester, S. C., he was installed :ts pastor in the summer of 1887. Under his pastorate the church prospered won- derfully. For twenty years he exerted a potent influence in the hearts and lives of his congregation. In IQOS, Cooper College, Stirling, Kansas, honored him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Upon the resignation of Dr. li. Y. l'ressly, the Synod, in recognition of his worth, and because of confidence in his executive ability, chose Dr. Klottatt as President of Erskine College. ln january, Iooj, a few months after his selection by Synod, he took charge of his new work. After years of labor in a tield some- what removed from educational affairs, it is remarkable with what readiness he adapted himself to his new environments. Under his administration the col- lege is prospering. llis unwearied service and kindly interest wins for lnm a goodly portion of the affection of every student in the institution ot' which he is the able head. .iQ l l 5 I - RL-xx J.

C1 Dear Sir:-ln answer to your letter, I enclose herein my report, delivered before the Class of lt' io, at its Reunion and llanc net, held in the College llome , J of Erskine College, on the evening of nne 2nd, If zo. tw ZS - MR. PRliSIl'JlCN'1' .wo nv Ci,lxSsri.vri5s : Some time ago I was asked by the l'resident of our class to looli into the history of each member since onr graduation, and to report the same to yon here tonight. Wie have had some difhcnlty in obtaining material for this on acconnt of the extreme modesty of the members in regard to giving information about themselves. lint l see every member of the class gathered aronnd this board tonight-a happy throng-and if l have made any mistakes, or omitted any important considerations, I implore instant correction. Ten years have passed since we were members of the Senior Class of flrslqine College, firm believers in the strength of nnity, onr hearts bonnd together in the sacred realms of college friendship by hoops of steel. XYe were justly prond of onr fflllizct ilftlfCl', of onr stndent-body, of onr class. Four years had we labored together, bnt the time for the parting of onr ways was at hand. Indeed. we were grieved, and felt many a pang of sorrow at leaving Erskine and Une Xtest. lint after receiving onr diplomas we bade each other a tender farewell, and went onr ways, to fight onr struggles bravely, bnt never to forget onr college days, with their associations, loves and memories. Classmates, tonight is the first time we have all gathered together since that day. Some of ns have been near other members of onr class, bnt many of ns have been far away. l find that each member of the class of nineteen lnmdred and ten is still trne, each doing his work well. l find no presidents of the l'nited States, no senators, no ambassadors, no snpreme jndges, no cabinet members. no snccessors to bl. lj. Morgan, thongh these places conld well be filled by mem- bers of onr class. Recognizing that the best and noblest worlc lies not in the Seats of the Mighty, bnt in noble service, wherever it may be, and that man can also minister in any division of life's worlc, onr classmates are doing well what they attempt. Loved and honored by all with whom they gn-Q grssogigrtetl, each one is a benefit to the world in which he strives. To be trne is, indeed, an ambition, and a trne man is God's ideal of perfection. tlnr classmates are trne to the ideals, the teachings, the examples set before them while in lfrslqine Col- lege. XYhile all of ns may not have fonnd practical nse for the theories of Astronomy, Psychology or Geology, yet we remember the trnths tangln ns through the efforts of onr instrnctors. 33 ,-+,' ,...... - . --.-- -M- llut to the matter. without further introduction: As would be justly expected. we tind that N. H. liell is vigorously informing mankind of his existence. as in days of old, Bell, after we parted, studied the problems of banking in a well-known school in New York city, and as his natiye State had tirst claims upon him. he went there, and began at the foot of the highway of trade, and is today cashier of the First National llank of Little Rock, Ark., a position of honor and trust, which he ably lills. lle is also president of the liankers' Association of his State. Wiith him-no longer a King-but queen of an American home is one who was once one of our number, and one loved by all. They say that every year Neill Harper journeys to his home town, dons a tattered Erskine uniform, and leads the Pottsville boys to victory. putting into practice what he imbibed on Erskine's diamond. Progressive Spartanburg Called Mr. L. C. Blakely and he answered nobly. lle is now one of the leading merchants of this Piedmont city. lly strict business methods and personal supervision he has established an envious mercantile business, and is prominently associated with other capitalists in some of the largest cotton mills in South Carolina. But we know now why Blakely always refrained from loafmg Forbidden in Due XVest, for, as his wife. we tind one of the fairest of the fair of Spartanburg. And if any of you ever chance to visit this city, do not fail to search the establishment of the lllakely Dry Goods Company, and liilake himself will welcome you. Located in Charleston, S. C.. the city by the sea, is our classmate, XY. H. llonner. For a year aftei finishing here llonner taught school: then, his lore of chemistry conquering all other desires, he took the degree of Doctor of l har- macy at Northwestern L'niyersity, Chicago, He is now owner of the Red Cross Druo' Store of Charleston, and is, indeed, uros merinff. Mr. llonner still 3 5 ignores the existence f womankind and is unmarried, which is sad, indeed: for we expected better things of him. XYe tind him the same steady, eyer-true XYalt that we knew in the good old days. If you will visit the town of Ura, S. C., you will not lind the name of llyrd unknown there. Yes, this is the same old R. D. we knew, and he is doing as many wonders in the practice of medicine as he did in college baseball: for 5 he is now ll. D. llyrd, Nl.D., having com ileted the medical course at Harvard , 5 l'niyersity. .Xs do most wanderers, he came back to the scenes of his youth, and is doing nmch for his community. 'lihe lite of a physician is truly hard. but liyrd neyer shirks a duty. 'llhe presence uf the Doctor among ns tonight is, indeed, an honor. During our college life we always thought XY. li. llarkey would remain true to Charlotte and the Mecklenburg Declaration of independence. So it is. Mr. llarkey chose journalism as the tield for his labors, and now occupies the desk . . . . . . , . . . . . ot editor-in-chiel ol the LharlotteO!1.s'i'l'r't'1'. which he served so taithtully wlnle in Ifrskine. llis editorials are eagerly sought by all, and are always spicy and to the point. llis paper is an important factor in the political atl'airs ol' North Farolina, and is always true to Democratic principles. Nlr. llarkey's home is 34 .,..,,. ...-..-.-- .. ... .....s.a,, .- ,4 , graced by the presence of one of the daughters of the XX'oinan's College ot. lin-- XfVest, and seems to be a very happy one. .l did not have any trouble locating Rev. Thomas .Ietilerson lrwin. lle eoni- pleted his study of theology at the liaptist seminary in Louisville, liy.. and is today pastor of the church of that denomination in Chester. S. C. l.eave Cites- ter That thought never came to our classmate. llis sermons on llaptisni and l'redestination are well known and often quoted in South Carolina. .X certain Due VVest young lady could not resist the pleadings of this young divine: he took her to Chester with him, and no longer has he to make pilgrimages across the brook Chickasaw. XYith us tonight l see another laborer, Rev. K. C. Grier, whois at home on a vacation. Mr. Grier studied theology in the Seminary at lirskine, and after- wards took a post-graduate course at Princeton. Feeling the call of the foreign iield, he took up his work in China, taking with him as his wife one of the fair- est young ladies of the Palmetto State. Mr. Grier's work is, indeed, bard. but he is devoted to it, and even now results in bringing light to the inhabitants of the East are evident. XYe all thought that bl. S. lietchin would go into the theatrical business, but such was not the case. Ketchin studied dentistry in the Cniversity of Mary- land, and now we must know him as bl. Shaw Ketcliin. D.D.S. lle practiced for a short time in W'innsboro, S. C., but his University elected him to hll one of the important chairs in the Dental Department, and now you will tind him in llaltimore. Shaw managed to find his ideal of womanhood in a lady ol- llaltimore, and all predictions as to his matrimonial course were shattered. lt is said that the Doctor is present at every minstrel that visits his city. tl. N. Lesslie is now a prosperous insurance man, located at Rock llill. S. C. Here he has established the Southern oiltice of his company. and has control of the work in North and South Carolina and Georgia, and has built up a tine business. Sandy is also president of the Commercial Club of his city, proin- inent in all business affairs, and a diligent worker in the A. R. l'. Church. Lesslie was true to his iirst love, and we iind his home one of the most beautiful in Rock llill. lf. M. Lynn, lthysician and Surgeon, is what we lind among the protes- sional cards in the papers of Covington, Tenn. This is our old lfstes who after leaving lfrskine, took an MQD. degree from Yanderbilt, and also from llellevue, New York city. He is the leading physician of his city, and prom- inent in the medical circles of the State, and author of several articles appear- ing in the current medical journals. XYe see the reason why Dr. l.ynn deserted palmy Florida for Tennessee. for, ruling in his home. we tind one of the belles oi Covington. ,l. A. Matthews seems to have been the linancier of our number. .Xtter leav- ing college, he returned to Tennessee and began investigations along the line of phosphate mining, which is a prominent industry there. Klatthews has been successful in this, and is now president and chief owner of the Columbia l'hos- 35 -- ---sf W - -- H- -- A -h5:s- ....-.- , , . ....-.,,. ei--- - ,,,. .. phate Company, of Columhia, Tenn., one of the most successful incorporated eonipanies in the South. This gentleman woulcl not forsake the girls of Tennes- see for those of South Carolina, anil in his home we tincl a 'llennesseean who cheers Allen with her smiles. I infleeil hate tu report to the class the sail tlisappointnient which awaits us in regaril Um our heloveil Presirlent, Mr. M. G. McDonald, who ever was a proin- inent Iailies' man, yet, I tinfl him still unmarrieclg and when I sought the reason was tolil that it was on account of his hook, XYhy XX'onien Shoulil Not Note, which hanisheml the question of woman sutlrage from our country some time ago. IIowever, the haehelor is a thriving attorney-at-law, loeatefl in Atlanta. Iia.. where he holds positions of trust anrl high honor, hut has always refused to eoine out in the race for Cnitefl States Senator, much to the sorrow of his many Irienils. You can tinil the llonorahle Dooley at the 'Hotel Iiimhall, Xtlanta. Ilnt Nlr. XY. C. Miller ilifl not prove untrue to our expectations, anil we fmcl reigning in his home in St. Louis. Klo., just whom we woulcl expect. lt is gnnnl to have Hr. Hiller with us tonight. hut his time is valuahle. for he is one of the husiest architects in the Minlrlle XVest, ancl has plannecl several of the most heautiful huilflings in the country. Hnly today he suhmitteml prints of the new State Capitol, to he soon ereetefl at Colunihia, S. C. XYilliain C. is certainly master of his art. Front the North eonies to our reunion llr. Xl. XY. Patrick. who went from Ifrskine to Cornell. where he stnmlierl electrical engineering. The South truly lost a good man when If'atrick went to Chicago, hut his tenfleneies towaril this course eonlcl he plainly seen even while he was in Erskine. Ile has niacle sev- eral inventions of importance to the worlcl of electricity. I'at has an honorary rlegree from Cornell, anfl hicls fair to stanil at the heacl of his profession. Naught-'Ilen has given another of its meinhers to the inetlical fraternity in the person ol Klr. KI. R. I'laxco. .X fter tinishing' his stuilies at Ilarvartl, Dr. I'Iaxco spent two years ahroacl, antl on his return was electeil professor in Yanilerhilt l'niversity. Ile now has charge of the ilepartinent ot' Eye, liar. Nose anfl 'llhroati anil he is one of the most promising young physicians in the South toilay. Une who Icnows him tells ine that in his honie on liifth avenue, Nashville. there is a large graphophone, hut with only one recorcl. It is useless lu tell my classmates that this is Annie Laurie. .Xlter leaving college Mr. C. Ii. XYilIianis taught school in his native North Carolina lor several years, anil a short time ago was electeil State Superintenilent ol Ifflueation.

Marvelous. at least. are the transformations which these years effect upon the thoughts, ideals and aspirations of the college boy. To relate in a brief way some of the experiences that have conspired to effect these transformations in the lives of the graduating class is our present task. Note that we have used the term college boy: for our record is. in the main. the record of boys. Wie make this statement in the face of the fact that, when we were first organized as a class, we were blessed - if the word blessed can be rightly applied to the Freshman class-with the smiling faces of five co-eds. For, since girls don't have the misfortune of getting freshedf' our co-eds had no share in the memorable events of our first eventful year: and by the time we had become sufficiently climatized to begin making history for our- selves. the girls had already begun forsaking us. XYell, who were we that such should have been our fate? Thereby hangs the explanation. From town, hamlet and rural scene we had come. a motley group, representing various localities from the hills of North Carolina and the everglades of Florida on the east to the wilds of Arkansas on the west. XYe were a typical group of college boys, lacking, perhaps, every excellence. except a capacity for improvement. llut to our history. XYhen the college bell rang for chapel on the morning of September i.tth, 1906, some half hundred Fresh -in these later days called new students U- might have been seen marching in amid the din of what seemed to be a thousand voices yelling Fresh! From that time we were full-tledged students of lfrskine College. Hur first great dread -not to mention the paddles of the Sophs-was entrance examination. Xfter a few days of hard work and doubt, however. forty-eight of us were assured that we were to be enrolled in the Freshman class. 39 ,.

XYe hail nur humps, Of course: but in the light of later years these appear as unly pleasant anal necessary features of the training which college life affnrcls. During the year several of our nuniher fell out of ranks. ln fact, nur fnrce ilecreasecl se rapiilly that, when the roll was callecl at the npening uf the seewnil year, nineteen uf thnse whose faces we had seen at the mpc-ning uf the first year were ahsent. .Xs a partial compensation for this lnss, however, we ailileil tn nur rnll eight new names: rklexancler, Curry, Harkey, lXliss Lanrler.

N September lltll, 1oo7, when Due lYest was fairly beaming with the radiance of merry greetings, hearty hand-shakings and care-free college songs, there might have been seen some boys out of tune with this merriment, who wished rather to be alone and solace themselves with their meditations. These nnfortunates were Fresh. or new boys if you choose, who, having decided to make a conquest of knowledge, had come to join the Erskine brigade. For several days, when every one else was idle, we dodged paper bags, carried water. lugged up trunks, sang solos, made speeches and danced for the unquenehable mirth of the upper-classmen, while at the same time we went to a set of wise-looking old men who gave us long essays to write, ditil:1cilia verba to translate, and Xls and Yes to simplify. Soon, however, we began to know each other better, and to realize that we composed that strong. that versatile, that ambitious and excellent class of IQII. The chapel roll was increased by forty-three names, tive of which were pre- ceded by Miss eo-eds conceded to be the most handsome and brilliant in college. llaving gotten our bearings we set out to do the tasks that were set before us. 'llhere had been recently elected to the faculty a great, long. assistant English professor, and besides lfnglish, he threw Algebra and Latin at us in unlimited quantities. XYe applied the principles of composition to lrving's Sketch llook and about one-half the books in the l,ibrary, besides knowing perfectly the im- mortalising characteristicabilities and lovabilities of Shakespeare. XYe became skilled riders, also, and whether on horses or ponies we rode pretty suc- cessfully with Cicero from Catalme's conspiracy even to his old age. We learned that millions of lines could be passed through one point and that we could fall through it even then. lt was hard, sure enough, for llrof. Grier himself failed lo make a sufficient rise while tracing a curve over the campus fence. llaseball season came on and the team looked lu us for two tine players, while our class team was a potent factor in all tl1e class games. Cupid began shooting his darts, and some of our class were fearless enough to receive severe and probably per- manent wounds. 'boating liorbidden and making XYickets became a lux- ury frequently indulged in, and 'twas during this year that the edict went forth that tl1e students must not loaf, linger or loiter about the grounds of the lfemale College. C4vmmeneement, the most joyous event to the freshman. soon came. and passed, and we experienced the joys of vacation at home with our loved ones, free from the sottlltls of the old bell aml the rigor of the dusty class rooms. lfatlter 'l'ime passed with winged feet and we were back at school with :mother year's work before us-7-uith also the responsibility of bringing up a 38 large class of verclant recruits aright. Some of our class-mates failefl lo rf-turn. but their vacancies were tillefl, in part, hy the entrance of tive new stuflents who have proven themselves worthy of the class of IUI I. Yve were no longer timifl. wilcl-looking Fresh, but wise, fearless U Sophsf' flaring to flo anything. XM.- saicl unto a freshman go, ancl he went, to another come, anfl he came. Erskines law-makers conceiveil the iclea of stamping out hazingg threatening cloucls hoveretl over the institution for a few flays on account ol' it, lint sunshine came: we kept on hazing. anml all was smooth enough. XYe hail a sort of passive existence, the monotony of which was hroken only hy Tltanksgiving. Christmas. an occasional lyceum numher. hasehall ancl other minor attractions that are wont to flash in the clim, religious light of our little village. XYe still took a little college work. llistory was very interesting, anrl we wonflererl at the lmrearlth of knowleclge of l7roissart's Chronicles ancl Greene's llistory. The heanty and perfection of the Greek language or the laws of Newton, l'ascal. lioyle anil .Xrchimeiles were more or less assimilateil. ln 'llrigf' we met with a jargon of sin, eos, csc, log tan, etc., hut the practical work in surveying was interesting. especially the morning we surveyecl arouncl the Female College. The transit telescope we useml must have been clefective for one hoy coulil always see a wire fence whenever he looketl through it. 'lihe hasehall team ilrew three players from our class who helpefl to lanil the pennant for lfrskine in our college league. ln awlfli- tion to this, several of our members were electetl to responsihle positions in the Athletic .Xssociation. All this time liorbirlclen still possessecl its attractions for us. anfl practice hatl atlilecl much to our gestures ancl manner of ilotling our hats. The faculty exemptefl three or four hoys from college work for a few tlays that they might have no interruption while loating liorhiflflenf' anfl since then every loafer has hafl to have the proper amount of nerve antl courage to venture on this sacrecl precinct. Another three months' vacation servetl to temper our mcttle somewhat, antl now we are juniors - possessing none of the timitlity of the freshman, only part of the wisclom t Fl of the sophomore, anil a tiny tinge of the tlignity inf a senior. A few more have flroppecl out. antl a few more ilroppetl in, until we are now thirty-three - the largest class in college. The path of the junior is hy no means an unrufllecl one. Chemistry itself possesses a thousantl terrors. NYe haven't learnerl exactly whether we are in elementary or compountl state. hut there nmst he a less volatile suhstance than we somewhere near for we have a eonstant ten- clency to pass off XYe have hecome so much acquaintetl with Klacaulav anti Arnolil that we know exactly what they woultl think or say on any occasion.

The forces opposing' us were tlrawn up in a most formitlahle line of battle: the faculty, nine strong, was armetl with powerful and sundry weapons of war. l'rof. Grier, with his thundering Math- ematical canons, kept loarlefl hy l'rof. Rt-icl's Scientific powtler and shot, hom- harclefl ns incessantly.

Then it proudly rolled into Due XVest with thirty-seven boys and three girls who were to constitute the members of the Freshman class. Most of these were as pilgrims in a strange land who had come to seek the hidden treasures of knowledge. When the infants of Erskine began to assemble in the class rooms for the lirst few times, we would have given our all if we could have had the air of a sophomore, the appearance of a junior and the knowledge of a senior. At tirst the faculty seemed to be somewhat despondent, but when they saw what an ambitious class had entered Erskine their sighs turned to laughter, for they realized that Erskine College was yet destined to turn out strong men and NVOIHCH. XVe had scarce begun our year's work when our burdens seemed numerous and unbearable. NVe discovered that we must now depend on our own resources and strive on amid the throng without any kind words of encourage- ment from the upper-classmen. . Xltll1JllQ'l1 our number is small, we believe that our class of lucky I3 has hidden in it poets, orators, novelists and athletes who will some day wear the wreaths of laurel. Wve will then begin to confer honors upon Erskine College. l.ll.l.l.XN Cl,l X liSC.Xl.l'fS, IllS'l'UlQI.XN. 50 9' JM x-mummlx RX WIN fllll Nuwg.

Euphviniun lfliterurg Srnrirtg l 3 RSKINE Ct JLLEGE was founded in 1836, with the purpose of giving the youth of the South. but more especially of the Church, the advan- tages of prayerful, careful training in the branches then considered necessary for their best development and advancement. In 1839, it was found that the young men needed practical knowledge and training in public speaking, debating, and essay writing, and for this purpose the Euphe- mian Literary Society was formed. The Society was organized in November of this year. with R. A. Fair, of Abbeville, S. C., as .l'resident. The number that answered to the tirst roll-call is not known, but at the end of the collegiate year there were thirty-seyen names enrolled. 'llwo things, at least, can be cited which go to show the enthusiasm with which these young men entered into their work. First, the Constitution itself. XYith the help of two of the l'rofessors of the College a constitution of which any institution might well be proud was framed and which. with a few changes to suit the times. is used today. Second, the name which they selected. Eupbemia was suggested hy the name of Mrs. lfuphemia Young, wife of Prof. Young: but it was no doubt chosen because of its derivation. lt comes from the two Greek words that mean good speaking. lslad the young men not been sincere in their purpose, the constitution would have long ago fallen through and a less appropriate name chosen. Un account of the depressing tinancial conditions of the country at that time and for several years later. the members of the Society had to content them- selves with some things which, later, it has been found necessary to change. The lirst badge worn by the members was a piece of blue ribbon about six inches long, on which was printed the motto, U.YU1I l71're1'c, .vcd ufvtz' f'lIit't'J'c'.H 'llhis was soon changed, lioweycr, and the present badge, a gold pin in the shape of a rhombus, was adopted. .Xs the motto implied about the same thing as the name, the motto was now changed to the tlreek expression for l.iye for your Country and your God. 'llhe lack of funds also made it necessary for the Society to hold its meetings in a room in the main college building for several yearsg but as this was an institution separate from the college, a society hall was needed. Kid could not be expected from the Synod and it was strictly np to the boys. 'llliey went' to work with a will, but after they had raised a certain part of the necessary amount it seemed that they could get no further. lloweyer. at a meeting one aliternoon, one of the members arose and in a yery mlormal way ollered to giye the remain- ing twenty-tiye dollars. 'llhis was received amid great excitement and enthu- 60 ?,,,..l.. .x.. siasm. It was not long until work began on the building, and on February' ,z7th, 1858, the hopes of the members and alumni were realized when the corner stone was laid. Since that time the hall has been remodeled and several times repaired, but Time has done her work and it is now in a somewhat fnlapiflatecl condition. As it does not seem to be economy to try to again remodel it, there is a move- ment on foot to build a new hall. Efforts to raise the necessary funds have so far been unsuccessful, but it is hoped that in the near future some one will give the necessary amount. l J. l l V ii 6x U OCIETY S EMIAN UPH l E N 5 PM 2 R X 1 1 1 My f wr- R X n , . 1 . , I x ! N . L, I rp l 1 Hhilnmathean liitvrarg Svnrivtg l l N a beautiful night, in the year 1842, there gathered on Erskine campus under a star-canopied sky a group of students. As they discussed the advisability of forming another literary society. the suggestion was made that the emblem of the new society be a star, on which was inscribed the Greek letters A. A, S. E. S, signifying Brotherhood, Yirtue. XYis- dom, Hope, and Self-Control. From this nucleus sprung the l'hilomathean Liter- ary Society. To these students will always belong the honor and glory of estab- lishing a society-a society which has figured largely in the development of Erskine College. VVith a history extending over a period of sixty-eight years of uninterrupted success, the Philomathean Literary Society has exerted a very vital infiuence in the lives of hundreds of young men who have come under her training. Not only in performing the functions of a literary society has she been active, but also in inspiring her members to truth and honor. Having as her ideal the develop- ment and training of men for lives of usefulness and service in the world, this society points with just pride to an untarnished record of usefulness. As testi- monies of her noble training, hundreds of her alumni throughout the Southland are signally successful both in private and public life. In the forum, on the bench, in the pulpit, behind the editor's desk, and in the school-room, Philomathea's sons have carried the principles of virtue, wisdom, and self-control taught them by their society. Having before them as mottoes, Tcnfarc est 'z'ciIcm', To try is to succeed, and Nil DCSf7CJ'UJIdI!lIl, Never Despair, the new members entering upon their first duties in society work are encouraged to develop themselves into polished public speakers and debaters. In the long line of successful alumni, fitting testimony is paid to the training they received from essay-reading, declamation, and debat- ing. Tempting the talents of the aspiring speakers, and inspiring the members to perfection in essay-writing, the society does much towards developing the talents of its members. NVith the laudable record of more than three score years of successful work as a literary society, through her alumni shedding a benign infiuence over the Southland, with a future fraught with luring brightness and brilliancy, we hail Philomathea and say, Continue thy noble mission. Let the coming generations feel the effect of thy bettering influence and enlightening hand. Give to the youth of Erskine high and noble ideals of character. Train them into full eul- tured men.

The heat of the day was parching and in the crowded tenement no breath of air stirred the soiled, llimsy curtain. Bare walls, bare Hoors-all desolate, like the pitiful life of the child inured to suffering and unknown to happiness. The heart of the charity nurse ached under the stiff uniform of her order as she watched this poor little lifeg and yet, if she lived, nothing was ahead of her but toil, hardship and poverty, perhaps tragedy. So the moments wore on. The day waned and the strength of the sufferer ebbed. She had no loved ones to sit by her and watch for the end, this little factory girl, no one at all but the nurse sent by a mission near. Gradually her strength was failing, and the heart throbs were slower and slower. The afternoon was still and drowsy. Through the windows came the cry of strong children at play. Then the nurse saw the eyes brighten, the lips move in delirium, and this child of the tenement, born in ugliness, dying in ugliness, cried aloud to a mother long dead: Roses, mother, roses! Then she sank back, and the nurse closed the tired eyes forever, praying in her heart that when the child's eyes opened in heaven they might behold the beauty of Celestial roses. 68 Glallinpvnn Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Glallinpran Eiivrarg Snririg Mattie Sloan Ildn Jean Nixon Maud Bigham Maymc Burley Jennie Stewart Dale Boyce Hllvmhrra Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Frances Jeter 79 Jeane Harris Rase Sandifer Leona Squires Beatrice Arnold Lillian Clinkscales Lillian Thompson ,SIL .L , Lvrznnv pzrArrM:N1- Q I ' .f 5' 'E ,- , s A Svkeirh nf 3 rakinifa igiatnrg l A3 RSKINE COLLEGE enjoys the enviable distinction of being a pioneer in the Held of Christian education in the South. At the time of its I organization, seventy years ago, there was not another institution in all this region that offered a collegiate training under distinctively Christian influences. The College came into being to meet the felt need of the Christian people of this and adjoining States. Its establishment was an act of heroic faith and courage by a religious denomination that numbered less than two thousand, with only fourteen ministers. But these were not common men. They were men of mighty faith, impelled by such a sense of obligation to God and to the generations to follow that they dared to undertake the seem- ingly impossible. The names of the fourteen heroes of faith who laid the foundation of this institution have been known to the successive generations that have entered into their labors. Vtfeighed in the balance hero dust is vile as vulgar clay. lilut they should not be forgotten. In honoring them we would honor ourselves. lt would be an act of simple justice to place a bronze tablet in the walls of the college building. on which their names were inscribed, that the story of their splendid courage and self-denying labors may not fall out of the memory of men. The name tirst given to this institution was Clark and Erskine Seminary. which clearly indicates the chief aim of the founders. The primary object was to educate young men for the Gospel ministry: an object which it is hoped may never become secondary. The first permanent building for the infant college was a plain, substantial brick structure, of three stories, with a central hall-way and lecture-rooms on either side. In the rear was a wing of three stories, each floor containing a single large room. The tirst tloor was the chemical laboratory. the second and third stories were occupied by the literary societies. The second building was Lindsey llall, named in honor of Mr. .lames Lindsey, by whose liberality it was erected. The lower tloor was used as a chapel and lecture-rooms: the second was an audi- torium of generous proportions. This was approached by two tlights of granite steps. 'From the front sprang up a tall and graceful tower ending in a dome that sheltered the equatorial telescope, the gift of Mir. hlohnston, of .Xlabama. Next in order came the hall of the Euphemian l'.iterary Society, a beautiful hexagonal building of two stories. .Xnd a few years later the hall of the Phil- omathean Society, tlrecian in type and very attractive. In Mo: the college building was destroyed by tire. .Xt once the work of rebuilding was begun on a greatly enlarged scale. The new structure was torm- ally dedicated in -lune, 19133. lt is of modern style. substantial and imposing, gmtl t-onlessedly one of the handsomest college buildings in the State. Next in 73 s,a,r as--.-..a--.--- 5 -f-.AM- -1 order of time QISQGQ came the College Home, a handsome and comfortably ap- pointed brick building of three stories, and capable of accommodating seventy boarders. Two years later tl1e VVylie Home was built for the use of the young women of tl1e College. lt was the gift of Mr. Joseph NVylie, and was a memorial of his wife. ICNDO W M ICNTS Previous to 1853 the College relied for support on tuition fees and tl1e interest from a few donations and bequests. In that year, the plan of raising an endow- ment by the sale of scholarships was adopted. As a result of this effort 5550.000 was raised. This, added to sums previously contributed by generous friends, brought the endowment up to about Eli70,o0o. All of this except about 313.000 was swept away by the Civil VVar. Having tried some temporary expedi- ents., in 1871 the Synod entered upon a second effort to raise a permanent endow- ment. Though the country was impoverished by the disasters of war, the friends of the College rallied once more, and the sum of 380.000 was realized. To this amount substantial additions have been made in more recent years in the form of scholarships and special endowments. PRlfSIlJlfN'1'S The first President of the College was Rev. E. E. Pressly, D.D., whose term of service extended from 1839 to 1847. Then followed, in order: Rey. R. C'. Grier, DD. Ctwo terms, 1847 to 1853. and 1865 to 18715: Rev. E. L. Patton.

It is as romantic as a young man's visions, it is as real as hard work. self-denial, and loyalty to duty can make it. It is ideal, in the sense in which I use the word, when the romantic and real are happily blended. Romantic, did I say? Yes: as a young man looks out upon it from the threshold of the home that he is leaving to enter into this new life- In bright uncertainty it lies Like future joys to fancy's eyes. Thus it has appeared to many a prospective Erskine student: and after he has tried does he not End it romantic still? Does he not tind it a life of fun and laughter and song and friendship and love? Does he not iind the enchantment of moon-light serenades and happy strolls among- Such sights as youthful poets dream On sunnner eve by haunted stream? And does the cup of romance not overflow when the times for soircvs come- times at which badges are won and lost, and at which are received fair speechless messages from deep-meaning eyes of maidens- VVhose sunny locks Hang on their temples like a golden Heecef' W'hich makes the grounds of XVomen's College Colchis' strand? Yes, this experience is always possible, and sometimes the apparently inevit- able destiny, of my supposed Erskine students. How alluring it seems in advance! - as romantic, I said, as a young n1an's visions. Ilow bright it may be made to seem when the years have come and gonel- as bright as an old man's dreams. lint in order that the retrospect, as well as the prospect, may he bright. another side of the subject must be considered, for the romantic is not all. In fact. in my subject 1'o111u11f1'r is only a modifying' adjective. The substantive is I't'c1fff-VU,' and so I would have it in the working out of life in the college. Now, what is this reality and where is it found? The answer is plain. It is honest, nnshrinking, unswerving loyalty to duty. It is found in being true luUIIt sl1ig'l1t'Sl self. It is found in the performance of each day's tasks somewhat. at least, in the spirit of llini who said.

This is the reality that I would commend to every Erskine student. lt does not exclude the romanticg it only subordinates it -makes it, so to speak, a modifying adjective, whose office is truly performed not by displacing the sub- stantive. but by giving it a clearer, fuller, or richer meaning' than unmodified it would have. Such a blending' of the romantic and the real - such a subordination of the romantic to the real- will go far towards making any Erskine student's career an illustration of my subject - the romantic reality of an ideal college life.

Not many months ago there appeared in one of our leading magazines a series of articles condemning the ethical and religious teachings of the American universities. Though sensational in their nature. these articles demonstrated fully the need of a radical change in the religious instruction prevalent in our schools and colleejes. They proved beyond a doubt that young' Americans are being taught that the liible is merely a mythological treatise. that present-day belief is as tar from real religion as was Greek philosophy, and that the Gospel of -lesus Christ is picturesque. but based on narrow and rigid dognia. They showed that part of our people are approaching a state closely akin to paganismg that we are beconiing' morally unhealthy. The sensation created by such charges need not be mentioned. They demon- strated conclusively, however, that unless more sanitary measures are put in force at our institutions of learning, the next generation will have a religion as much opposed to ours as was Roman culture opposed to Gothic barbarism. They established the tact that Christianity is in the crucible. They proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the American church has just cause to be thoroughly alarmed. Nor is this propagation of a new philosophy contined entirely to our colleges. Our whole country seems to he in a state of moral unrest: on the verge of a profound religious upheaval. A great wave of so-called free-thought has been sweeping over our country and many there are who have been submerged in its deluge. Une can scarcely pick up a newspaper without seeing' an article on the subject. t tn every side the disciples of Tolstoy, Shaw and llubbard can he heard proclaiming the birth of a new era in religion. The very air is surcharged with free-thought, every man's creed dinfers from that of his fellow, and religion is thought by many to he only the iniinite capacity of man for l1iinilJug'g'ing' himself. The age is pregnant with skeptical doctrine and the truth is very nearly lost sight of in the darkness. This false doctrine that is being promulgated by men high in authority at our universities, and that is being' felt by all classes throughout the l'nited States. is indeed a serious menace to our t.'lu'istian civilization. tlur republic was founded on principles gathered from the llible, our people have ever believed in a right- eous God that controls a heaven and a hell, our progress has been due to the kind care of a watchful liather pleased with the homage and tidelity of llis chil- dren. Yet they would teach you, these intellectual intidels, that Chemistry can express the intnute with a chemical Iorniula, that l'hysics has proved our Nlaker to be only gravity, that .Xstrononiy has searched the heavens and Science the eartb and our God has not been liound there.

The elourls have incleecl gathered 211111 it takes no acute listener to catch the runihlings of the approaching' storm. If such obnoxious teachings are persisted in 211111 such raclical itleas continue to gather in force, the result can scarcely he pictured. The light 111211 11215 streametl from Calvary's brow, undinnnecl by nineteen hunclrerl years of strife antl rliscus- sion, will cease to be the beacon of Anieriea. The religion that has given all sorrow a touch of comfort, that 11215 tinged 2111 pain with pleasure, that has lefl men from the darkness of the valley to the light of the mountain top, that inspired one like unto us to endure the jeers and curses of the mob and the tlespicahle fleath of Z1 criminal, will no longer have :1 wholesome influence on American life and institutions. ln its place we will have a faith that offers to 115 clisciple a heaven cleterminecl by Physics, to the unheliever Z1 hell that can he expressed chemically, and to the dying man utters the comforting' words. l'ut not your trust in God, for there 15 no personal deity: cling not to jesus. for he is no more tliyine than you. In the place of all that is cheering, comforting, and good we will have only colcl intellectuality. In such a crisis as this there is a clire neecl of Christian leailers - leaclers that will point men to the true way, leaders that will marshal the forces of goocl antl leacl them against this army of atheists. There is a necessity for those whose faith is founded, not on grounclless suppositions, hut on what has heen proven true. The times clenianfl a Milton, a Browning. a Tennyson, to throw the search- light of truth into every nook and cranny of this old worlml. a Jeremiah to thuniler the conimanml, Stand ye in the ways anal see, ask where is the gootl path. an-l walk therein, a l'aul to preach the gospel of jesus Christ antl llim erucitietl. llut dangerous as the outlook lllily seem we can hut hclieye that the ramparts of religion shall remain lirni, that the cohorts of Christianity shall never sur- rencler. For it requires a more violent ettort of faith to accept the tloctrines of the new religion than is requisite in the acceptance of the whole of the tlltl antl New Testaments. The new theory is only a superficial guess tlisguisctl in lcarnctl 79 words, destitute of any convincing evidence, refuted by all serious science, and in direct opposition to the very nature of the human mind. Its sole evidence is found in the stentorian tones in which it is proclaimed. On the other hand, who can remain in doubt as to the truth of the Christian religion? Does it not sweeten life, inspire missionaries, create saints, and bring gifts of divine love and peace to soothe dying hours?

Larger colleges are involved because the solution of the problem is essential to their growing needs. Smaller colleges are interested because the system which has been, and now is, in general use is unsatisfactory and incompetent to carry out the purposes for which it was created. First, why is the system at present in general use deficient? In the institutions where the student body is large, the faculty can not give such due personal atten- tion to deportment as the system requires. It is an almost absolute impossibility for a faculty of one hundred to regulate by individual supervision the conduct of a body of one thousand. The artificiality and complexity of life in the large cities, where the major part of our universities are located, add to the inadequacy of the system of faculty supervision of student behavior. lily far the greater and more extensive argument. however, in favor of the abolition of this system lies in its own inherent imperfection. It is a despotic government which inevit- ably produces a struggle between student and professor. Linder such rule it is only natural that the students should dissipate merely to show they can do so with- out fear of detection, and haze and cheat to outwit the espying professors. The system is foreign to our innate liberal ideas because it is autocratic and tyrannical. Under what system, then, is college deportment to be regulated? If the old is to be abolished, what method is to replace it and give better results? XYe pro- pose to submit a system which has already been put to a thoroughly practical test with the consequence that it has met with general satisfaction. This system with which we propose to supplant the old is known as The Honor System. It is thoroughly democratic, giving freedom to the individual. There is no restraint upon his action or demeanor, except that imposed by his own honor. XVhere it has been tried, as has been said. the system works perfectly. Deportment is as excellent as could be hoped to be realized. XYhy? It is simply because honor is inherentg and when the voice of honor speaks it commands obedience and meets with ready response. Under the system each student is on his own honor and is responsible to his fellow students for his conduct. The student body formulate their own rules of deportment, and generally they are few and simple. At the University of North Carolina there are only three leading regulations. The student body also elect a council who administer and execute the rules. .The faculty are never consulted concerning matters of deport- ment except as a court of last resort. L'nder the system the students have a large voice in their own government. which is natural and democratic. There is no 81 contest between professor and student. Less dissipation, hazing and cheating is done by far than under the old system. ln fact, almost perfect results follow. Clearly, The Honor System is the natural and proper mothod for the gov- ernment of college students. Let us hope that the various colleges and universi- ties will practice the theory of democracy to the extent that students be allowed to be self-governing. Let us hope for a system, individual, liberal and democratic, based upon and supported by a pledge of honor. P '09 ox 153 JP B.: , H, fjj'-je: r -rr ,esta I df.g'f.f:.1Q11L'-'LQL-'+ TTTf'..

The ties that are then formed are apt to bind two souls together with hoops of steel. It is there, as nowhere else, that one friend draws aside the curtain and reveals to another the inner sanctuary of his heart: and it is these glimpses into the heart of a friend that one keeps in after life as his most sacred secrets. lt is during the four years at college that souls are linked together - Like violet bells upon the selfsanie stem Pouring the dewey odours of life's spring lnto each other's bosom. For four years we study together, we walk together, we talk together con- cerning the everyday trials, and concerning our future plans and aspirations: it is then that a friendship is apt to be made that will be lasting and strong. XVhat a feeling of closeness there is when we study late at night over a problem that we cannot solve! XVhat a feeling of joy for the friend who has won a prize or taken a high stand in his class! XYhat a feeling of sympathy there is for the friend who has made a failure! There is a symmetrical completeness that is seldom found anywhere else, when those of opposite characteristics become friends and one supplies what the other lacks. Some of the most beautiful friendships in all literature have been those formed during college days. Perhaps the most striking of these was the friendship of 'llennyson and Gladstone for llallam, that grew up during their school days at lfton. line has only to read ln Memoriam to see the beauty of 'llennysoifs friendship for Ilallamg and the following is an extract taken from a tribute to llallam written by Gladstone when he was an old man: liar back in the distance of my early life and upon a surface not yet rutlled by contention. there lies the 54 ,f-,, ,U ,H P+- T '--I-L 1'-4'-v' if ifgff- -,'47f'T'.1-siv'L:- -714:14-i.'L:LL.4.E.l: -T'-T'.:vf' V ' ' Y A ' memory of a friendship surpassing every other that has been enjoyed by one greatly blessed both in the number and in the excellency of his friends. An- other striking tribute to school-day friendship was that of Lord Brooke to his friend Sidney, when he requested that what he deemed the greatest honor of his long and brilliant career be recorded upon his monument: The friend of Sir Philip Sidney. Is it not true that, after all, the most valuable acquirements during our college days are our friends? VVe ought, then, to be very careful in the choice of our friends: and, after we have chosen them, we ought never to allow ourselves to forget them again. Dr. Henry Van Dyke has beautifully expressed this thought of being faithful to our old friends thus :-- Make new friends, but keep the oldg Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friends, like new-made wine, Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test, Time and change, are surely best. Brow may wrinkle, hair turn gray, Friendship never owns decayg For 'mid old friends kind and true We once more our youth renew. But, alas! old friends must dieg New-made friends their place supply. Then cherish friendship in your breastg New is good, but old is best. Make new friends, but keep the oldg Those are silver, these are gold. J. L.

Landrum's plantation. De big house has been in a bubble and a bubble for de last blessed weekg de big pot has been put in de little one, and stew has been made in de skillet.

At this remark the little darkies could be seen exchanging glances of amaze- ment, and even the older ones sat spell-bound while Aunt Dinah renewed her conversation.

The introduction of this new disease spread quite a sensation in the quarter and Aunt Dinah, aware of the impression she was making, continued: I had heerd ole Missus telling young Dr. Snow dat Miss Kate was dom- quite a concomplished young lady, dat she had gradyated in yellowcution. dat perlite talkin' fer white-folks, dat her yoice was bein' executed and dat she played eonquisitely onde pianny and de manderlin, and she is coneoinplished in mo dan dat, too, 'case I heerd her tellin' Mars ililob 'bout her niakin' wickets every day: so I just 'lowed to myself dat I was gwine to take a peep at dem wickets: so I went to sarchin' through dat Il'oney's trunk fer ein, and de gal had de imper- 87 - - - , - ,:4--- , - If-:a,V:,1,,,,,,.-Y aa.,,..,,s..,...

As the darkies drew up nearer for fear they should lose one detail of the big house story, Aunt Dinah refilled her pipe and resumed her flow of eloquence. Mussy! Mussy! de times am too fas fer dis ole nigger! I'se done purty nigh wracked my ole brain trying to keep up wid dat chile since she come home. Dey had one ob dem soirees up to her house tother night. I had never heerd tell ob pahties bein' called dat afore, fer when me and Miss Katie's maw was young dey had quiltin' pahties, and dey had lots ob fun den too, mo dan dey had at dis soiree pahty, case dey diden do nothin'- de ladies jist set dar, and de gemmens done what dey called de rushin' stunt.

Rap, rap. Come in. r No, thank you. -lust want to speak to you on a little business. All right. What is it P It was Buster Joe, and he proceeded: Sam and Lanky, while out on a Walk this evening, discovered a limb on which are perched four fat hens and a rooster. The boys have gone back to take charge of them, and have asked me down at our ranch, and we want you to bring a couple of pots from the dormitory kitchen. VVe have plenty of bread, butter, salt, pepper, etc. Everything has been made ready and the boys have gone after the fatted fowlsf' Sure, said Billy. I'1l be only too glad to roast a few birds for you. Always glad to accommodate my friends when the prospects of eating chicken are so bright. VVell, said Buster, we are going to eat them, and you can depend on that, I'll help you carry the pots down to the ranch. Don't look so dead-looking. I-Iaven't I told you we are going to eat chicken ? According to the agreement, the boys went for the pots and other cooking uten- sils, and were soon back at the ranch XN'hen Buster -loe had given the pre-arranged sign, the door was opened. Come in, Billy. Come in, Buster. Did you get the pots Yes. How are the fowls? They are here, all right. As Stubby said this he reached under the bed and pulled out the four beheaded hens and the boss of the harem. As he drew them out one at a time. Billy called them all by name. XYhy, there's old ' Straw Neckf and choke me! if you didn't bring oid ' Don:- ineck' along, too. Boys, what did you mean by bringing old ' Frizzly'? XVhere's old 'Speck'? he asked after a little. Oh, we've got her, too, said Stubby, as he made another draw from under the bed. And in order to keep the old man from being lonely we brought him along, too, he said, as he pulled the cock-of-the-walk from under the bed. XYe1l, said Billy, perhaps he would rather be stewed with the crowd than to remain to crow for a day on a lonely limb. After this Billy assumed the position of master of the ceremonies and began to give orders to the others. Upon receiving their respective orders the eight boys fell to work-some to dressing the fowls, others to getting wood and water. 39 Y f W ft.. By the time the clock struck twelve the four hens were boiling away in the two pots on a roaring tire. The Chief Cook, Billy, and his assistant, Lankyf' were busy attending the tire, administering salt and butter, while the other boys were smoking and telling jokes. The smell of chicken mingled with the smoke of tobacco, the glowing tire, the delightful anticipation of eating chickens that were not theirs, all tended to make the crowd very merry. By the time the chickens were ready to be served it was generally conceded that Big Mark had outdone the crowd in social lies: but Stubbyu stoutly declared that the man was yet to be born that could beat him eating chicken. As Lange's room was not a regular dining-hall, dishes of any kind were scarce: but the boys managed to make up the deficiency in plates with a few shoe-box lids, one table drawer, a baseball cap, and some geography backs. Of course, knives and forks were not needed. as there was little ceremony in this feast. Everything went along very well until Big Mark came across a drumstick which he declared was so tough that a blacksmith couldnt chew it. It was the leg of the Uld Man, as Lankyn called him. Big Mark agreed with him as to his age, and ventured the opinion that he had sailed with Noah. However. as chicken was plentiful, the tough pieces were discarded, and Mark was soon stripping the meat from the bones like a corn-husker and masticating it like a wood-fiber mill. Stubby said that the big boy would start a drum-stick in at the right-hand corner of his mouth and pull it out at the other. and that after a piece of chicken had gone through such an operation there was not an owl in the country that could pick a decent beakful from the bone. But while Stubbyn was calling attention to Mark's manner he was not neglecting his own business: for after the feast was over the boys began to count bones on each other and Stubby's box-lid was found to contain seventeen well stripped bones. Besides, Buster Joe was about ready to swear that Stubbyn had eaten all the gizzards, not considering the fact that he had swallowed some of the smaller bones. However that may be, there was plenty of chicken for all: and the beauty of it was it didn't cost anybody anything except the man that raised the poultry. Wfhen the feast was over and all of the cooking machinery, as Lange styled it, had been washed, Billy started to carry them back to the dormitory. lt might he said here that Billy was not a coward, but was just a little afraid of things at night. Ile had no more than left the ranch when he met a hush on the side of the road. 'llhe way he ran with those pots, ladles and other things was a eau- tion. l ine who happened to hear it said it sounded like a pair of bronchos running away with a wagon-load ol' stovepipes, dishpans, and dinner-hells. ,Xs Billy passed a neighboring house the tieree charge and savage barking of two dogs gave another stimulus to his already weary legs. XYith these helps he was soon at the dormitory in safety. .Xlter putting the pots back where they came from, he' repaired to his room and was in bed by three o'cloek. But just as he was about lu lolrl his thievish hands in peacetul slumber. he heard something that sounded like the deep tones ol' two hounds in full cry. Yes. 1 90 . .f jjj f5f '- -4 ' f- 4'e f 'L..e:::z. -' - --A JC- 'C ' they were coming nearer, and it was now certain that they were hounds. lilood- hounds, too, he said to himself. Moreover, there was a painful resemblance between the mouths of these dogs and the ones that ran down the negro who stole Buckis watch a few weeks before. His guilty conscience needed no further accuser, and his imagination pictured vividly his disgrace on the follow- ing day. He had played thunder. These hounds had been started on the track of the boys who lifted the chickens, had followed the trail to the ranch, and there took up his own track. They were coming straight towards the dormitory, and so far as he could determine were coming the same way that he came. There was a man following them, too, at a distance, for Billy could hear him yelling from time to time. Wliat must he do? There had been a rain since he left the dormitory, and he had gotten very muddy in the cross-country run for his place of abode. He was afraid that his muddy clothes would witness against him should the dogs follow the trail to the dormitory. He listened from his raised window again. The sounds of the dogs were nearer still. By this time his imag- ination was considerably worked up, and he swore to himself that he would never eat another piece of stolen chicken as long as roosters crowed and hens laid eggs. But that did not help matters now. He must make his room look innocent. He snatched up his muddy trousers and put them in the very bottom of his trunk. But the next question was, where would he put his muddy shoes? O. yes: he Saw, now - up the chimney on the fire-back. Then he glanced around to see that there were no further evidences of fowl-play. But it made him mad to think that any dog should dare trail down a boy of his standing, as if he were a thief. He grew desperate, left the room, and came back with an automatic shot-gun which he had borrowed from a sleeping neigh- bor on the floor below. Thus armed, he took a seat in his window on the third floor and awaited the approach of his supposed pursuers. He had determined to shoot the presumptuous beasts as soon as they came within range, because he felt sure that they were the only officers that could find a connection between the tracks in the mud and the muddy shoes upon the chimney-back. As he sat there he heard the peaceful breathing of his innocent room-mate, in striking contrast with his own painful sighs. The stern faces of the town council and the faculty rose before him. He heard the Mayor say fifteen and costs, and heard the President declare, Your connection with this institution is severed. But Billy's suffering was all due to his guilty conscience, for the dogs, after coming within a few hundred yards of the dormitory. had suddenly changed their course and soon ceased their doleful baying. .-Xs the clock struck four a sigh went up from Billy's honest but chicken-loving breast: the horrible thoughts of being fined and then shipped left his mind, and he was soon in bed where nothing disturbed his peaceful sleep except a wierd nightmare. On the following day, as Billy entered the postoftice, he saw a man displaying the skin of a mink which he said his dogs had caught early that morning in a swamp just below the dormitory. Billy felt sorry for his less fortunate accom- plice in crime but, thanking his lucky stars that all chicken thieves are not caught. was mum.

God created man with three eyes: two visible and one invisible. Two were outside eyes to see external realities: one. an inner J eye, to see internal truth. The originating of unseen force required time no less than the making of manifest matter. Over our third organ of sight has ,grown that cataract of ignorance and unbelief. The motto: Only when I see will I believe, has taken such a hold upon the mind of man that the most powerful influences now in operation have become fine fancies and mere myths to the average individual. Wliat I can taste or touch, see or smell: what I can carry in my pocket, load on a wagon, tie with a rope, these will I recognize. Our deep-seeing eye is blinded by a material age of momentous money-making and money-taking. The rays of light from the unseen realities cannot pene- trate bales of cotton. pride of life, corruption in socialism, and indifference to spiritual obligations. Only by use, by application, does any means become strong. Now let us remove the haze that hoods over our third eye, and notice some of these unnoticed realities. First, however, when is a thing real? XVe say that an agency is real in its service, that an instrumentality is a reality, when it is able to govern a universe: when it is able to reach the deepest needs of humanity, to alleviate sufferings of the body and to succor the soul. Among modern scientific discoveries now in use, perhaps none is exerting a more powerful influence than electricity. It is the present day propeller, the motor of the twentieth century. NYithout this patent factor civilization. as it exists today from Maine to Texas and from Florida to Vtlashington, would find an end. Stop this unseen power and the industry along the whole Atlantic sea- board would wither. Check the dynamo and New York is herself no longer: her vitality is gone. Chicago sleeps in darkness, and lfloston lies benumbed under the burden of loss. Thousands of men are left many miles from home: all kinds of business are thrown out of gear. and the whole world goes paralyzed. l'hys- ical force has had its day and the age of reason has come. A cat's soft purr may press a button and the work of a million men is done. A vessel is wrecked: a button is pressed: the air vibrates: the waves are caught: the ship is saved. XVe cannot help saying that such a forerunner of enlightened civilization, even though unseen, is indeed a reality. Not a distant kinsman to electricity is magnetism, the attracting- power of which the earth is full. l'resent-day navigation depends upon this unseen reality. No matter if the heart of the great engine is throbbing. and the steam pressing against the piston. the engineer would not dare open the throttle if he knew that there would be none of that unseen force acting on the mariner's compass. lf this unseen reality should cease suddenly to exert itself the ship would whip herself upon the rugged rocks or ram her prow into the cold sand banks. lly 94 - -L--' -'fe' '- ' 'L'--Y ,gsrz-f:!:e'.:'Sf --' L+- .-if + 1 - means of a powerfully magnetized iron the cow-boy of the sky is able, with the unseen and unfeeling lingers of magnetism, to grab the great steel joists and beams and hoist them high above the hurrying crowd till they are finally in position at the top of the majestic skyscraper of nineteen hundred and ten. Surely this boon to modern engineering is a matter of fact. More indispensible, however, than electricity is the ,great unseen natural force, gravitation. This is the power which ropes the planets together, binds the sun and moon in their course, and ties each satellite in its orbit. It is the only broth- erly bond we have with Mars, and the only sisterly tie we have with Venus. Witliotit this potent influence we would be swinging and rocking in space, or meeting with frightful head-on collisions in the ethereal ocean. just as authority is the only means by which a father may govern his household, so gravitation is the only agency by which the sun, as father of the solar system, can order and direct the ways of his offspring. Witlioilt it there would be no cosmotic consistency, but all would rush back into chaotic calamity. Surely this power which holds the world in a working way is pre-eminently real to us because exist- ence itself would cease if this directing agency were not really present. From these three illustrations, then, we see that mere mechanical means are not always tactile, tangible things. These natural laws in the natural world have their corresponding correlative spiritual laws in the spiritual world. As much as does the soul o'ertop the substance, the mind the man, as much as does infinity reach above finity, and eternity beyond time, just so much does the spiritual laws in the spiritual world preponderate over the natural laws in the natural world. Above all and under all these spiritual realities do exist. Faith, our guide in action: hope, that without which a man is dead before he dies: and love, that essence of self lost in the being of another, by which all human life and associations are tempered, these three stand out in distinct prominence from countless numbers of other unseen realities which affect our relations one with another, and determine our attitude one toward another. Man, a being of volition and choice, not moved by every automatic action or involuntary movement, is no mere mechanical contrivance. Having the power of reason then, he must necessarily have some guiding incentive, some living impulse, and some prompting motive to direct his life. From the most savage to the most civilized. the unseen iniiuence. faith. has a never-dying predominance on the inclination of the life and the trend of the conduct of each individual. This universal principle is a reality, a truth as intang- ible as a phantom, as invisible as the wind: and yet more powerful in its sway than ten thousand legions of the serried hosts of the Assyrians. Faith is to the individual what the star of Bethlehem was to the ludean shepherds. XYith- out it would saints in the cause of Righteousness falter and fall: but with it could Latimer go to the stake, saying: Cheer up. Riddley. for we shall this day light a candle in England which shall by Gods grace never he put out. NYas this unseen reality not sure and steadfast to the heart of this heroic martyr? If faith were a sheer seeming spectacle, and not a substantial reality, would Abra- 95 ham, the man who was to father the race from which the supreme example of faith, Christ himself came, would he, I say, have staked the world's destiny on that substance of things hoped for, the Evidence of things not seen? Faith is the guide to the goal. You can't touch faith, but faith can touch you. Imagine, if you can, in your own experience, what living would be without faith in any of your friendsg or in any man's wordg or in the reality of the Supreme Spirit. The verdict of each sane, sound individual will be, that faith is one of the most powerful realities of his life. . Hand in hand with faith goes hope. Hope is the child of desire and the younger brother of faith. Tied and welded are the bands that bind them. A man without hope is one of the most pitiful sights on earth. See a hopeless man: torn by remorse, stung by regret, and overcome by self-reproof. Wliy, he's a raving maniac, a contaminating atmosphere wherever he goes. Hope steadies a man on his feet and keeps him from going down into the cellar of despondency. It makes a man's eye sparkle, vitalizes his energy, enlarges his anticipation. and drives away all melancholy. Hope acts with decisive intiuence on all ages of men, from the little child who does his work so well just before Christmas, with the hope that Santa Claus will be especially bountiful, even through to the gray age of the tottering man. The heart is the engine of a man, and hope is the throttle. VVhen the throttle is open, he lives, when closed, he dies. Hope fanned into Hame the smouldering coals of desire in the hearts of the pioneer Americans who rose in their strength and said, VVe will be free. This power is the generating intiuence to action in every man's life. Though hope is unseen itself, we doubt not its reality on account of the manifest evidence we have of its existence. Inseparably bound to faith and hope, and the offspring of these two factors, is love. This is the crowning quality of the human soul. It has been and still is the distinguishing characteristic of all truly great in the minds of all philan- thropic people. Love is generally true because it brings out the very best in man. It is love that makes a man willing to go beyond the walls of self-satis- faction and self-interest, and to see with the deeper and larger vision the true meaning of need. 'Twas love that caused David Livingston to see Africa's need. Wfhen he heard that every morning as the sun rose one could see the smoke rising from a thousand villages that had never heard of Christ, his magnan- imous heart could not help turning knowledge into action. He is in modern times probably the most eminent illustration of the manifestation of undivided love and consecrated devotion to duty in behalf of benighted .-Xfrica's need and the cause of Righteousncss. The most gracious capability given to man is the power to love. W'ithout it would be impossible all the graces of gentlcness, meekuess, patience, long-suffering, and peace: but with it the withered soul may bloom againg the broken heart may beat again, and forlorn hope may rise again. 'Tis universal in its scope and unlimited in its range: from side to side it is immeasurable, and from top to bottom it is fathomless. lt' is from everlasting lu everlasting: and when time shall have accomplished its work and the world 96 A -' - . + '-TL-ve-.-vw '3 4'-'i--'+iv'L- --3----f--4 '- Y -r :QT1-2-99 - '- ' ' Jus- '-. 1'T shall stop, love will not stopg hut shall he magnified and glorified, for Cod is Love. This unseen abstraction is not unreal. The mother of these motives is mind. An unseen reality itself, yet the mind is the mould in whieh the destiny of dynasties is determined. lt is impossible for the astronomer to see some stars unaided by telescopic assistance. just so it is, you cannot see the deep realities of life with your natural eye. The mind is the telescope of each individual, the third eye through which he is able to search out the deep truths of existence. Only when we brush off our third lens do we see the life beautiful. and realize the importance of learning as if to live forever and living as if to die today. W - 71 1 - . 'Z 'y!Z!!

SOCIAL LIFE Perhaps no phase of college life is more important than that part termecl the social life. Hur warm college frienclships have the base of their existence here. If We are not surrouncletl by some such intluence we woultl probably go forth from college with a wrong interpretation of college life. -Xt the XYylie we were a small bantl, but a very congenial one. Nu one eonlrl conceive of us being anything else but loyal in every sense of the wortl. ljantlecl together for our mutual improvement in literature, we were lcnown as the Cal- liopean Literary Society.

Hur nation is giving heed to this cry, yet she is by no means putting forth her utmost efforts to hush it. This cry is caused by the appalling condition of the children scattered through- out the land, and especially of those in our large cities. The surroundings are never pleasant, yet the children are not responsible for the lot in which they are cast. If they are reared, in the dark, gloomy homes of vice-homes where ease and comfort are unknown- it is not theirs to say whether they should go to play breakfastless or to bed hungry: whether they should be reared in luxury or in poverty. These children of the poor are compelled to assume the respon- sibilities of life at an early age, either in the manufacturing establishments or in the household duties, where they attempt to till the place of the mother who has been forced to seek employment away from home. They prepare the food and care for their younger sisters and brothers who are So often left under their protection. These children have never known and enjoyed the freedom of child- hood, the delight of playing in the bright, warm sunshine, the freedom of study- ing nature and associating her truths and beauty with their own childish ideas. XVant is their only companion. As beasts, they hunger, and eat, and die. Yet, they are not beasts: they are human beings with souls, stamped with the divine image of God. Their lives have never been brightened by picture books or toys. The fairy tales of l.ittle Red Riding Hood and Cinderella they have never known. The stories ot' the Arabian Knights would, if read to them, open up worlds of which they had never dreamedf They not only lack knowledge of these familiar legends. but they have no conception of the llible. This is pathetically illustrated by the little girl who said she hated God because lle made it cold and didn't give her any clothes. lf they could only hear of the Christ and llis love for children. how it would brighten their empty lives to know that they have a part in llis kingdom: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. lYe are called upon to solve a great problem as we watch the growth ot' these children from early life lo maturer vears.

Buiarhzlll ITIQI spring come thoughts of baseball. .Xt this season of the year two score or more young men can be seen exerting every possible effort that they might help uphold l2rskine's banner in the coming contests. So popular is this sport at Erskine that every afternoon the greater part of the student-body gathers around the ball ground to watch the players practice and to encourage them as much as possible by their presence. lt is very natural, however, that baseball should be popular. For a number of years lirskine has put out a team that she should well feel proud of. ln fact. of late years Erskine College cannot be referred to without thoughts of a good baseball team. The picture on the preceding page is that of the team that won for the college the State championship in IQOQ. There have never been seen on the local park more efficient hitters or faster fielders than were these. ln short. it can be said that they possessed all the qualities necessary for a winning team. XYe would not, however, fail to attribute a large part of our success to the coaching of Mr. XV. L. Laval, affectionately known to his friends as lriillyf' His baseball career is too well known to require more than mere mention. He has made an enviable record as a pitcher in the South Atlantic. South Carolina State, and Carolina leagues. As a coach he undoubtedly has no equal among the Southern col- leges. He has coached Erskine two seasons-'07, 'oo-each time winning the pennant. In the season of '07 he selected from seemingly no material whatever a team that played the entire season with a percentage of 900. Again, with his training, the team had but one defeat by an Association team chalked up against it. The record of last year's players was indeed admirable. Throughout the en- tire season, the most prominent feature of every game was the pitching of R. D. Byrd. VVith Byrd on the mound Erskine was almost always sure of victory. R. D. not only won every game he pitched. but allowed opposing teams only seven scores and eighteen hits 0E his delivery the entire season. llell, too, added much to the success of the team, both by his pitching and batting. lle can boast of leading the team in batting with a percentage of 417. Catchers McCaw and Bryson were also valuable men. Caw distinguished himself in almost every game by his terrific hitting. His batting average for the year was above the .300 mark. Bryson caught only one game. In this, however, he fielded 1.000 and hit .500. Taking everything into consideration, probably the best man of last year's team was second-baseman XYatson. livery game was featured by his spectacular plays, some of which seemed almost impossible. ln addition to his well-nigh perfect fielding. XVatson hit .333 for the year. Ram Chisholm at first, Grier at short, and Stevenson at third proved themselves worthy of their positions. Chisholm, though seriously affected with a Charliesllossf' played an excellent first-base, fielding 08.2. XYithout a doubt the fastest tielders in III swf' the Association were Cashion, Kirkpatrick and P. D. Chisolm. Both Liz,' and Tack played the entire season without an error. Besides playing an errorless Held, Cashion was a batter that every pitcher looked upon with fear. If hits for extra bases were recorded in the percentage column accordingly, his average would be considerably more than 393. The prospects for a winning team this season are unusually good. Manager Matthews is certainly to be congratulated on the securing of Billy l' Laval for another year. We have good material, a good manager and the only, real. original Bill. VVe believe, therefore, that the team that defeats Erskine will be the pennant-winners of IQIO. 4-Y i , l .1 l LL II V,,f-1. -, 'QF TN. X E X S I ji?.,.s..,- -Q 53 5?a'f'56 5,, X WM Eiff f, XX.

Ff.n'biclclen, tint, has sutitereil greatly in the past few' years because of this interest in tennis: antl after the present Seninr class rleparts that erstwhile ninst luring walk will be flesertecl, anal wicket-making will take its place ainnng' the lost arts. However, the rninantic epismles nf Fnrbiflflen will be replaced by the fainous court contests: annl such naines as Grier, XYatsnn, Deatun, ancl Snell will serve future generatinns as examples nf what heights can be attaineil by practice. There are three tennis courts nn the campus anil several private club enurts in tnwn, anil yet it is alninst inipnssible tu tinrl a vacant court frrnn llnnrlay inurn- ing to Saturilay night-nf course, excepting' the nights :luring the clark nf the innnn. There shuulfl be anutlier cnurt, anil perhaps by next year there will be, ffwr the Tennis Club is in much better cnnmlitinn financially than we have ever seen it before. There is no fnntball, nn basketball, no baseball until spring: no track athletics, ancl no gyinnasiuin: in fact, there is nothing but tennis for the lirskinians fluring' the fall antl winter innnths, anml that is why it is so pwpular with us. lint perhaps it is as inuch flue to the reputatinn which nur tennis players have, anil the lirnifws which they have wfin. lt is an incentive to us ancl we strive to be chosen tn win new hnnors for nur cnllege. Hur recorcl is one of which very few enlleges, it any, in the Snuth can bnast. Fur three years, nut of the four years nf the State 'llennis -Xssoeiatinns existence, lirskine has wen the chainpinnship in bnth singles anfl flwubles.

Orilinarily speaking, we think of a band as composed of a number of musicians, but this aggregation has no such accusa- tion laid to its charge. Ut course, those who are acquainted with the niembers of it know that Ye Minstrel Band is neither the dwelling place nor the source of sweet sounds and harmonies. lint now for a short description of the band. It is niade up of five such members as Director Chiles, the cornetists Dixon and Jenkins, the clarionetist Taylor, and the clruininer Betts. Now, who could expect music from these! lint not to flisparage the organization too inuch, we will say that after so long a time they learned a selection which we iinally recognized as Listen to the Big llrass liianclf' The members are now so elated over their mastery of such a classic that each one thinks he will soon be a member of one of the greatest orches- tras in the world. lor instance :- The cornetists, llixon and Jenkins, both X lYill. no tlonbt, make Qfrxmarl with the famous Damroschg , l XYhile lletts, the clruinmer, and Taylor, clarioneter, .Xre striving for something that's even better.

S11100 I40 that time more than thirty-tive outgoing classes have borne testituony of its power over the student life. Scores and hundreds of those who are now shaping the sentiments of our Southland today are living records of its influence. Such is, in brief, the record of the Y. Xl. C. .X. in the student life of l'i.t'skine College. Its purpose at present is to continue its usefulness and strengthen its influence. To accomplish this purpose the Association seeks to reach the students through its variotts avenues of approach, most important of which are the liible and Mission classes, and the devotional meetings. The study of the llible and of Missions is of the most informal order. Classes are held in the rooms of the stttdents, in groups varying from tive or six to a dozen. ln these groups a free, informal discussion makes the study both interesting and helpful. 'llhe devo- tional meetings, held on Sabbath nights in the Y. Nl. C. -X. llall, are conducted principally by the students, an outside address being given about once a month. The design of these meetings is to awaken a devotional spirit and to train young men for Christian leadership. In point of equipment, the Association has, in the main, no cause of com- plaint. XYhen the college was rebuilt in ISQZ. a hall on the first Hoot' of the college building was furnished and given over to the use of the Association. This hall. with a seating capacity of about three hundred and fifty, furnishes a suitable meeting place for the students of the Association. llut, in this connection. we might add that the .Xssoeiation is not without its needs. Perhaps, to some not intimately acquainted with the workings of the organization, it would seem needless to send out a call for a new hall apart from the college building. Yet, there are ample reasons to justify an effort in this direction, and to those who in the next few years are to set the standards and ideals for the Association. we express the hope that a sentiment with so small a beginning may gain favor, until the need of this equipment shall become more generally recognized and the necessary means appropriated for the purpose. llut for the present. there are needs of less magnitude that should receive immediate attention. .Xt the very least, the hall now used by the -Xssociation should be fttrnished with new carpet and chairs. Young men are not generally fastidiousg but they enjoy the possession of that in which they can exercise pride. .Xnd a spirit of this kind of pride is essential to the best life and activity of any organization. .Xnother need is for the permanent possession of a good piano. The music feature of the Association cannot be underestimated with impunity. lt is the life of the devotional meetings, and perhaps the strongest attraction To students not already interested in the meetings. Now, these needs are not presented out of an inclination to overestimate the value of external equipment, bitt ottt of the conception that such needs as these mentioned stand between the .Xssociation and its best work. .Xud our hope is that this article may reach some of proper authority who. when the matter is formally presented, will be prepared to give it their support. 141 5, I ,L Id ' -4 4 ,1 -1 I V v-4-1 1 ' ur 0 J , O ! 4. mmfmmq,,. fx 1 V A , 142 QQEQFZZZ :.1:571::Q.??z ::2f-'OSU 23,:1wZ2EQQ--152 . ,.. , , :1::A:f.IEfDU Ffa-LG:,-E,:A.:,PT' 0 gn f- '-' --..'7 - 'U :um F7 -1.1 -J ,D-, fp, fa.. 3307711 5 2 5 '4 '-1'4 r-J - Q.
