One night in january about twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Baird, of Yorkville, S. C., were very much rejoiced at the birth of a son. The winds were still and the air was almost balmy. Nature herself seemed to be in sympathy with this most wonderful thing. The advent of a new-born soul. The boy came to be called Brown, and he grew up a help to his father and the pride of his mother. After he had finished his home high school, it was decided that he should come to Erskine, and in the fall of 'IO he entered upon his college career. ln size he is large, being one of the six footers. And if there is any fun in progress look for Grits there. ln fact, he is noted for his dry humor and wit. In addition to his dry humor and wit, Gritsn is noted for his snowball whip, which is most excellent and accurate. Even in our one snow of 'I5 the freshmen have learned to know him well. Grits has never been known as much of a ladies' man. However, he can always be found at the Woman's College when a soiree is on hand, and especially is this true just before banquet times. Nor does this complete his relations with the fairer sex. He may be frequently seen loafing around Wylie Home, and two-cent letters came to him with a marked regularity. GritsH is a Philomathean, has served her as vice- president and secretary, and is one of the loyal supporters on l every occasion. He is a member of the Y. M. C. A. and taught one of the Bible classes during his Senior year. .l-le is an Associate Editor of the Erslciniana and is a good student. He has a mania for eating in class but he is so clever at it that he has never been detected by a professor. The class of fifteen would indeed be incomplete without Grits 41 - H--V-'N - AH -4- --V - g.. s, '.Z .Mr F I 1 ll VX1 IQ. -.l.l5, EARLE PARTLQW BARRON Babei' Philomathean mTis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all. The good town of Rock Hill lays claim to the production of Earle. There he was born on the 9th day of November, l895. He grew there a little in stature, and much in the sight and affections of the girls. After finishing the high school at home, winning a meclal, Earle came to us at the tender age of' fifteen. His youth and smallness were the reasons for his nickname of Babe,,' which has stuck to him much more steadfastly than any of his many girls. Babe has increased in size and knowledge since he entered college, until he is now a full- rounded man in many phases of college life. He is a math sharkf, and is good in other branches of the course. Babe is a loyal Philomathean and has given his society four years' faithful service. He has served in almost every capacity, being president, vice-president and secretary. Having attained to over six feet of man and muscle, Babe is one of our best all-round athletes in college, playing Varsity baseball his Junior and Senior years as one of the best fielding first basemen in the state. He represented Erskine at the state tennis tournament and is also tennis manager for this year. share of his time, too. He is also a good business man. If there is any money to be gotten up in the class, Babe is always the man to do it. He never fails to show his Qlass or College spirit, and always bears his part in everything. His business ability got him a position as assistant business manager of the Erskiniana. Last, but most important of the many accomplishments and acquirements of Babe is his ability to get a new girl at least once in two weeks. This is something he has done, on an average, for his whole college course.

There have been Williams, there have been goats, there have also been William goats CI guessl, but there has been and positively will be not another William Goat Betts. This one was born and raised in that center for curiosities, l Lessliels, S. C. As his nickname implies, Goat l has been rambling round taking care of himself for a good many years. A chance of luck l threw him into our midst, as a fresh, and all of us, but especially one of our Senior Co-Edls, thank that fate, Of a scrappy nature if bothered H i too much, yet Goat is the best of friends when one knows him, and is willing to let him tend to his own business. Since he entered school he has had many experiences, and has come out of all, so far, with colors Hying. He has accomplished much outside of the regular course. He made the baseball team his Fresh year, and again his Soph year, being the leading outfielder and one of the leading base runners on the team both years. A spell of pneumonia kept him out his Junior year. Goat was the best quarter back in class football for two years and played on the basket- ball squad for two seasons. His society work has been good, and he has held the offices of vice-president and chief marshal, besides other minor positions. 1 The wit and hard common'sense of Goat are well famed in Erskine, and his happy nature, and all-round -,gt solidness make him one of the best liked fellows in college. He is popular wherever he goes, with both sexes. He seems always able to do as Rome does and is at home in any environment. He goes over obstacles and not around them, works with energy and determination and seldom shirks his duty. For these reasons we can only prophesy for Goat a bright future.

The smallest article among the members of the class of Nineteen-Fifteen was contributed by Mr. and Mrs. T. Bigham, of Chester, S. C. She Y has been theirs since September the twenty-fourth, Eighteen-Ninety-Three, when she was quite a little thing and she is still little. She has how- ever, since she came to college, counterbalanced some of the smallness of her stature by the large- ness of her achievements. She has been President of the Young Woman's Christian Association, Vice-President of her class, and Exchange Editor of the Erskinian. In the semi-annual celebra- l i tions of the Calliopean Literary Society she was essayist in her Freshman year, successful debater in her Junior year, and President in her Senior year. Though a girl and a little one, she has held a place among the grade makers of her class and has at times even made the men who made highest grades work hard to keep from having to suffer the humiliation of being surpassed by a woman, and in June she will graduate with third honor. She is a musician of some talent and has rendered valiant and much appreciated service to the Young lVlen's Christian Association as organist. She represented her Young Woman's Christian Association at the Blue Ridge Conference in the summer of Nineteen-Fourteen. As she is a thorough believer in Woman's Rights, it will take a level-headed handsome man to keep her out of the Suffrage Movement. She likes a good joke and can tell one, a big man and can boss one, and a fine house and can keep one. Unlike most girls she is never silly. She thinks of things worth while and when she speaks she is listened to. Those who know her have seen: A Being breathing thoughtful breath, A Traveller betwixt life and death, The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill. Q. if A . . s....n-s.,'. JAMES HENRY BROOKS jake Philomathean A man of cheerful yesterdays ana' confident to-nwrrowsf' Born in the year of l895. Ujakieii has spent most of his life in Due West, at least we found him here when we came. After finishing the prescribed courses in the Due West High School, Jake entered Erskine, and as luck would have it, he entered with the good old class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen. His special character- istic is found in his hard work. He is generally known as the hardest worker in our class, and it doesnit make any difference whether he is on the l athletic ground, in an oratorical contest, or in the class room, Jake can be depended on to work and Work hard. Living in Due West, of course Jake immediately allied himself with the Y. M. C. A. on entering college. He also immediately joined the Philomathean Literary Society and has been working hard for her ever since. He has represented her in semi-annual celebrations as Sophomore declaimer, Junior debater and Senior orator. And she has honored him by making him her hrst president his Senior year, this of course gave him the privilege of delivering the graduating class of Fourteen their diplomas. His oration for the occasion was splendid. He was chosen to speak in the preliminary contest for Rock- hill, both his Junior and Senior years. In athletics, while not being a varsity man, he has had quite a share in holding up the banner of our class, having played class baseball three years and football two years. In baseball he is a fast fielder, but is a little weak when it comes to hitting. This keeps him off of varsity but he makes a good scrub. A diligent student, a college debater and orator, a hne all round fellow, Jake is an honor to his class and will make a success of life.

I I J 1 LIDIE ELIZABETH BRYSON Liclie Calliopean What she wills io do or say seems Ivisesl, virtuouresi, discreetesi, beslf' Four years ago Mississippi gave to the class of Nineteen and Fifteen this girl, whom she will this year take back unchanged by the fashions and fads of college life. This does not mean that she has failed to have her share of fun or that she has made all of her college course work. She likes pleasure and sports as much as anyone but whether at work or at play she is the same good-natured, quiet, and constant Lidie. Basket- ball is her favorite game and she was one of the strong players on the Erskine Co-Ed team. Simplicity and reserve stand out as her chief characteristics. It is these very characteristics which have cemented friend after friend to her during her college days. Though the college days have changed her none in many ways they have not failed to leave their mark on her life. Her Sophomore year an Essayist, her Senior year a debater in the Semi-Annual Celebration of the Calliopean Literary Society. As a result of her fine work in the class room she will graduate with fourth honor in June. Always a dutiful student and a faithful worker in the Y. W. C. A. In all these things she has developed her character and will this year go back to her Mississippi home an able woman. She was more bold in College to the pro- m fessors than to the young men. What her later career will be we can not tell. If it is like her college days, we know that she will be seen more rarer than others but always doing something worth while and content with it. It will always be a pleasure for her 'LTO chase the clouds of l..ife's tempestuous hours, To strew its short but weary way with flow'rs, New hopes to raise, new feelings to impart, And pour celestial balm on the heart: For this, to man was lovely woman giv'n, The last best work, the noblest gift of Heav'n. VF f gfsrueg .-- f w i i L-. 1 . INA MYRTLE BRYSON Myrtle Calliopean lf to her share some female errors fall, Loolg on her face and you'll forget it all. Four years ago the gentle Western breezes, blowing across the Piedmont Section, blew Miss Myrtle Bryson into Erskine College from her home in Guntown, Mississippi, where she has been the daughter of Mr. W. Bryson since an eventful clay in January, Eighteen-Ninety-Six. Guntown High School sent her to Erskine quiet, diffident, retiring, and studious, but a course of Due West soirees has developed her into one of the most engaging talkers that ever entertained at a Wylie Home reception. Her stucliousness, however, she has never lost. She is a faithful and efficient student, an ardent Calliopean, and a zealous Young Woman's Christian Association worker. She has served as Vice-President and as Secretary of the Castalian Literary Society, and as Marshal at the Castalian Semi-Annual Celebration. She is the youngest member of her class and like the youngest in all instances is badly spoiled. ln- clepenclence is her most conspicuous characteristic and curiosity her most predominant peculiarity, though perhaps not much more peculiar to her than to all womankind. Yet this peculiarity of hers is peculiarly fortunate in that it is supported by persuasive soft brown eyes and a voice equally as soft and persuasive. Having always had her way, as the youngest always do, she bids fair to continue to have it for she does not lack equipment: and it will not be bad, if she does, for her ways are pretty ways. She is forever cheerful and always carries a smile. She will always be remembered by her associates as one altogether lovely. She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless chimes and starry skies: And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. ll? li l N I A N A ROY L. DAVIS Roidavis Philomathean HNone but himself can be his parallel. On a calm and quiet Sabbath Day the Twenty-First of August, Eighteen-Ninety-Two, while everything in Southeast Arkansas was rapidly radiating heat energy, this fellow first began to enjoy life on his father's farm near the beautiful town of Monticellog and he has en- joyed living ever since that momentus event. He has been a bundle of energy and force from his very birth and, being the youngest member of his family, is of course the idol of his mother's heart. In the fall of Nineteen-Eleven, after having tried numerous experiments in the way of life, he entered Erskine College. Here he applied himself with his usual energy and at the end of his first year took home the Freshman Declaimer's medal together with a good class record. The next year he won the Sophomore Essayist's medal and the Mower Medal. He has served on four Semi- Annual Celebrations of his society, having been declaimer his Freshman and Sophomore years and winning debater his junior and Senior years. As a member of the Y. M. C. A. he has served on two cabinets, hrst as secretary and then as treasurer. He has participated in two preliminary contests and has been on the literary staff of both The Erskinian and The Erskiniana. When an Erskine College Prohibition Association was formed in March, I9I5, Roy was chosen president. And since that time he has fought booze with the zeal and enthusiasm of a Billy Sunday. Though not an athlete he is a loud rooter and a big booster. He played guard on the Senior football team and has other interests on Forbidden and elsewhere that he guards as diligently. Out in Arkansas his favorite sport is bird- hunting. He loves to tramp the Fields with gun and dog, but he tramps Forbidden with no less Zeal and is just as good a shot at Hwicketu making as at bird-hunting. TS L 1g E 195 lil N I A lil ,fs LEONARD H. HOOD Coober,' Philomathean Lei me have music dying and I seclf no more cleliglilf' The old North State may well be proud of this another son, Leonard Hood. Along with many Tar Heels he hails from Meclclenberg County and it is natural to infer that he is also from near Charlotte. The home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Hood, is Matthews, N. C. Here Coober spent his boyhood days and re- ceived his early intellectual training. In the year l9lO he became a member of that wonderful class who style themselves Preps Next year he became fully identified with the class of l9l 5. He is a staunch member of the Philomathean Literary Society and has served her well as President, Vice-President, Ordinary and Recording Secretary, besides other minor positions. He has been a very active member of the Y. M. C. A. during his sojourn in Due West, having served on the music com- mittee his junior year and chairman of the devotional committee his Senior year. C-oober, however, is best known for his vocal attainments. He has held a seat in the Due West choir since his Freshman year and his tenor voice is often heard on E.rskine's campus. He is a member of the Erskine quartette and makes an especially good negro in the minstrel shows. In Athletics too, Coober has had a share-playing on the varsity basket-ball team during his Sophomore year, and being a big factor in the Class games the next year, when the Juniors won the Championship. As a man Coober is solid and can be depended on every time. On first meeting him, he appears quiet and reserved, but closer acquaintance reveals to you an open, fun-loving spirit, ever ready to share in any clean, innocent sport. Coober is a great admirer of the fair sex and has on several occasions been seriously affected by heart trouble. But cupid's efforts have been in vain for Coober has never succumbed to the malady except for short periods of time. L -'--- ,'yfg'si x gg .A ' 4. V - .

On May 2, l890, spring ushered in the ar- rival of this youth making glad the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. VJ. M. McGill. His birthplace is Hickory Grove, S. C., and as the name sug- gests he spent his boyhood days playing in the shade of several hickory trees. At the high school of this place he was prepared for Erskine. He entered Erskine in the fall of '10, but on account of sickness he was unable to return the next fall. After one year's rest and rust he entered our class in the fall of '12, and after A several months became thoroughly climatized to the class of the Navy and White and now the class does not have a more loyal member. While i'Monk,s,' mind is never drawn from his books to think of any D. W. W. C. girl, his thoughts are centered on a pretty brown-eyed girl in Rock Hill, S. C., the best town in the state, as he thinks. If you ever hear the expression, Great night! you may know that Monk is near. Sleep does not interfere with his college course, for he never lets it enter his mind until every light in the dormitory is out. He does not believe in going to bed with the chickens, yet he can go out any night and bring in one for our mid- night lunch. Monk takes part in both baseball and football. As a baseball player he belonged to the Saturday Morning League: as a football player he featured on our class team during our Junior and Senior years. But Monk is best known in Athletics as a rooter. He is a firm believer in every team Erskine sends out and can be seen on the ground at every game, yelling for all he is worth. For several years Monk has been interested in teaching. Each summer he is found in some little school house trying to lift the curse of ignorance. And we feel sure that he will make a successful teacherqnext year. K, X .

Mooley was reared in Sharon, York County, S. C., and is one of the most faithful of that countyis delegation. Waldo has been working hard for four years and, the fact that he is to get a diploma this year, is due to his determina- tion and ustickabilityf' for he had to make up several back subjects when he entered college. There is not a better-natured man in the class of '15, there is not a truer frienclg there is not a more loyal studentg he has gone along quietly, l never saying much, but always on the job. Mooley has tried out for football, baseball, basket-ball, since he has been in college. He has made scrub in one or two branches of athletics, and made one of the best tackles in college when class football was organized. His hitting in class baseball has distinguished him also. You might not believe that Mooley cared for the ladies,-but he does- consider ablef, He is seen at every soiree, working with the same earnestness that characterizes his other work. It has often been reported that he was in love at the Woman's Colleg.. but each time the report was found to be untrue. He has one special who resides at Huntersville. And to call those letters that he sends in that direction volumes, would be a shame on the discrimination of words so well drilled into us by Dr. McCain. Mooley believes in working. He goes upon the as- sumption that nothing comes to him who waits. Whenever a task gets in his way he performs it without question, always working earnestly and diligently. Such character- istics will be of great help to him when he gets out into life and comes in contact with the world. If any member of our class is successful in after life, - - - Y Q Mooley will surely beg for his character and general make- l up assure us of his success. - ' 5-f' , . 'JCM' ff' ,fr t.IQl'31li- R. A. ---- CLYDE. MCNEILL ' 6sM3Ck,, Philomathean Of their olvn virtues modest men are dumb. First and foremost of all Mack is a scientist and that of the lsaac Newton type. When you need any good sound advice go to Mack, as there are very few things he can not tell you something about if you only ask. Mack is one of our quiet lads who believes in keeping his eyes and ears open to what is going on in the world about him, but not in expressing himself unless called upon. As to lVlack's early history there is little known, unless we are allowed to guess that some of his time must have been taken up either in eating from a paper bag or in roaming over the country just to be riding the rails. He has shown himself one of our most loyal and indispensable class- mates. Possessing a mind that anyone might well envy, he has carried the banner of the class in scholarship during the Sophomore and junior years, and will graduate in June with second honor. To HlVlack we are greatly indebted for his untiring work as business manager in the publishing of this book. l-le is known especially as a business man, having been elected by the student body as the best business man in college, and always having been chosen manager of any project undertaken by the class. ln society work he has also proved himself as a loyal member: and as a result the society has rewarded his faithful services in electing him as its president, and as president in the Semi- Annual Celebration, l9I 5. He has made a good showing in English and his essay was chosen for the contest of the South Carolina College Press Association. In fact, there are few subjects in which he does not show a marked ability. ln the summer of l9I4 he added to his store of knowl- edge by taking an advance course in Chemistry and Zoology at the University of Virginia. And as a teacher of some branch of science next year we predict for him great success. Although Mack has not been a varsity man in Ath- lelies he has been one of its most loyal supporters and in class football he has shown himself to be a football player of no mean ability. li L El25KllXlE,L,? if t.. O ROSCOE THOMAS NELSON HROSH Philomathean He'll Ivrite a journal or heill turn divine. A more glorious day was never seen in Havana, Arkansas, than December 2nd, l893, the natal day of Roscoe Thomas Nelson, Roscoe tod- dled through the high school of his native towng and, desiring to learn more about this indestruc- tible mass, he came to Erskine. One of his r first acts on entering Erskine was to ally him- l Self with the Y. M. c. A., in which he is new a valuable member of the Cabinet. l Many honors have been conferred upon him all of which he merited. His literary society made him Freshman Declaimer at Semi-Annual Celebration and Junior Debater for the Darling- ton Trophy, He was chief marshal at the Semi-Annual Celebration in his Junior year. He was successively honored with the offices of Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice-President of his society. His excellent qualities as a debater won for him the Junior Debater's Medal, and his writing ability made him the Literary Editor of the Erskinian. But RosH is no less popular with the ladies. He firmly believes that Forbidden is the most glorious spot in Due West. And if you ever wish to Find him the safest place to go is Forbidden He was elected by the students of the Womanis College as the second best-looking man in Erskine College. That perhaps explains some of his popularity with the ladies. But Roscoe has made good in other places, too. His class chose him Editor-in-Chief of the Erskinianag and, in his Junior year, made him Toast Master at the Junior- Senior banquet. His interest in athletics made him man- ager of the baseball team in his last year. Indeed, Roscoe is an all-round college man. He played class football, class basket-ball, member of the 'Saturday Morning League in baseball, a lover of the other sex, a Y. M. C. A. Workeer, a college orator and clebator of no mean qualities,-a popular man with every one. fi fi E N 1 A '35 l JAMES WIDEMAN PHILLIPS G f , 5 Euphemian Ml: girl and my pipe and the world is all right. It was November 2nd, l894, that Cove in his first attempt at oratory broke the quiet of the home of Dr. and Mrs. D. G. Phillips. The place was Due West that he began this adven- turous career. Not long, however, to be satisfied here he moved to Bartow, Fla., from there to Bradley, S. C., then to Atlanta, soon to New- berry, from there to Chester, and finally with the rest of us back to Due West in the fall of I9l l to make further acquaintance with knowledge. l From the very lirst Cove has endeared himself to his mates as one of their best, because of his wit, pep and athletic skill. In scholarship he has stood among the very first at all times, and leaves Erskine as an honor graduate, standing as fifth in the class during the four years. Serving on the Erskinian and Erskiniana staff, he has shown his literary ability. During his first years Cove did not show any special liking for the femmes, but of late marvelous capabilities are coming to light upon this line. In society work he has taken an active part, serving as President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and as Senior Orator in the Semi-Annual Celebration. But most especially has Cove shown his loyalty to his Alma Mater in the athletic line, being chosen as the best all-round athlete in college and captain of baseball team in Senior year. For four years he has skilfully held the position of short-stop on the varsity baseball, and no one has ever feared anything on seeing the hot grounders go that way. Of Gove's ability to hit in Upinchesn every one is familiar, knowing that he is one of the surest hitters on the team. Besides this he has made the varsity in both football and basket-ball. 'A me Fi . t . fi ..Q l 'viii V WILLIAM SAMUEL REID uDeacon Euphemian HA spirit ye! unequalled and high, That claims and seeffs ascendencyf' This prodigy was born at Catawba, South Carolina, on the twenty-third of Cctober, Eight- een-Ninety-One. Later his parents moved to Richburg, South Carolina, and from this Burg, he migrated to Erskine. His college course has not been without obstacles. He has dropped out once or twice, has loved and been Hkickedn several times, and has been a Hknockern and has suffered the consequencesg but his steady con- scientious efforts have surmounted all obstacles. This year Deacon seems to be taking more in- terest in the outside activities of college life. On the baseball lielcl, one can not keep him quiet--he is jumping and yelling all the time. Deacon, on account of his popularity, was selected to deliver a toast to the uljlunkersu at the Junior-Senior banquet this year, and at last year's banquet he toasted to his favorite subject, Usweetheartsf' He has made English his forte and, as a result, he won the Euphemian Soph-Essayisfs medal, is class Poet, Essay Editor of the Literary Department of the Erskinian, and is on the editorial staff of the Erskiniana. l-le has the reputation of being one of the best writers in college. l-le is making somewhat of a rep as a journalist. l-le is Erskine's reporter to the Columbia State, reporter of the local Prohibition Association, 'and as a state officer of the South Carolina Intercollegiate Pro- hibition Association he also serves in the capacity of re- porter. l-le also has the reputation of being both a phil- osopher and a pessimist, but, however that may be, he is a rattling good fellow and an honor to his class. As first president of his Literary Society, he delivered the Euphemian diplomas to last year's class with an oration filled with . flowers, fine thoughts and oratory. l-le is a debater of no mean ability and has been both Junior and Senior debater in the Semi-Annual Celebrations of his society. He was one of E.uphemia's representatives in the Preliminary Con- test his Senior year. He never loafs anywhere except on Forbidden and there goes wild. CIQSKIN llxltsltik '35 BERT!-IA MAUDE SANDERS Bertha,' Calliopean Nature was here so lavish in her store That she bestowed until she had no moref, Dreamy, delicious, and delightful to the parents of Miss Sanders were her childhood days, which commenced February the twenty-fourth, Eighteen-Ninety-Five, at Waldo, S. C., con- tinued at McCormick, S. C., and culminated at Erskine in Nineteen-Eleven when she became a member of the class of Nineteen-Fifteen. Never- theless the passing of her childhood only marked the development of her captivating capacity of making life seem sweet to those about her. In conversation her versatility is exceeded only by her entertaining rare faculty of listening well. Her natural attractiveness, personal charm, fascinating friendliness, and endearing soul qualities make her a favorite among her class and college mates, and keeps poor little Cupid forever out of darts. Her sterling qualities are evinced by the positions of trust and honor she has held during her college career, among them being Treasurer of the Young Woman's Christian Association, President of her Literary Society, Historian of her Class, and Junior Debater on the Calliopean Semi-Annual Celebration, and as a de- bater she has few equals even among the boys. Her college life has been one succession of successesg and, as she steps out on the broader sphere of real life, armed with the character and characteristics which she possesses and her diploma and what it stands for, it is safe to predict that there too she will be equally as successful. She has never experienced the mellowness of a flunk,,' but on the other hand has always made grades which were desig- nated by small digits. Perhaps her best work was done in the Chemical Laboratory. There it was characterized by speed, accuracy, and excellence. A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food: For transient sorrows. simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles. El95l'ilNIMttJi5J CQRRIE. MAY SHEFFIELD Corrie,' Calliopean The crimson glow of modesty overspread her cheelfs, and gave new lustre to her charms. Tennessee has two reasons for her fame, one being the fact that Tennessee hams are noted everywhere for their superior quality, the other being the more important fact that Corrie May Shefheld greeted the light there February 6th, l894. The rudiments of learning were picked up at the Lincoln County High School, which laid the foundation for the success attained since she has been in Erskine. When Corrie is stumped and threading the devious paths of Astronomy, Political Economy, Analytical Geometry, and Philosophy, she always takes refuge in a smile, and this never fails to make the path bright. Corrie is by nature quiet and retiring, not quick to voice her opinion on subjects of discussiong but when she speaks she is always listened to, She is a member of the Calliopean Literary Society and one of the many members of whom the society is justly proud and has served both as President and Secretary of her society. Corrie's sweet alto voice has added greatly to the quality of the music of the Wylie Home. She fully intends making teaching her life work. However, we doubt if she carries out her plans, if she does though, we predict great success. Corrie is not one of the giggling, giddy girlsf, She is quiet and reserved, and looks upon the problems of life seriously. Sincerity is one of her chiefest virtues and the artihcialities, common to her sex, are happily absent. She is very attractive and many of the boys who come under the spell of her influence do not , soon recover. The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonized the whole, l And, oh! the eye was in itself a Soul. f ' V. if lf- a I 4 a 1 , A l , -4, n.

This tireless talker and interesting entertainer is a loyal daughter of the Volunteer State. She became one on a cold and cloudy tenth day of January, Eighteen-Ninety-Two. This probably accounts for her warm-heartedness, fiery temper, sunshiny smile, and bright mind. She soon be- came possessed of a desire for learning. She wanted to know something of the better things of life, to drink from wisdom's cup, so she entered Erskine College a Sophomore and immediately took a high stand in her class, and has held it. She is noted for her determination and wide range of knowledge. Last commencement, as first president of the Calliopean Literary Society, she delivered her society diplomas, speaking in a nice, helpful and Howery manner. I-ler Senior year she debated in the Semi-Annual, and served her society in many other minor positions. Ruth is an enthusiastic basket-ball player, and was one of the best players on the Co-Ed team her Senior year. She as a sideline has had the task of keeping yer younger sister from idling her time away, and the girls say she has been eminently successful. If we chose we think we might safely predict Ruth's future, but we will content ourselves by saying that wherever the path V of life leads her things will be brighter because she passed that way. Whatever she does will be something worth' while. All who come in contact with her personality will remember her charm and beauty. A thing of beauty is a joy foreverg lts loveliness increases: it will never Pass into nothingnessg but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

It was upon the night of July IZth, towards the close of the nineteenth century that Richburg was made famous by the birth of one, Albert McDonald Simpson. Although Simp, as he is known in college, was the guy that made Rich- l burg famous, he did not himself become famous until he came to college. Simp was one of the forty-seven Freshmen who entered Erskine in the fall of I9I l. He has not failed to gather his share of her honors since he has been here. He was assistant business manager of bothi the Erskinian and Erskiniana in 1913-I4, and he is Business Manager this year of the Erskinian and one of the assistant business managers of the Erskiniana. Simp is the pride of our baseball team. He has been one of our first pitchers for the last three years and has always been at his best when pitching in a pinch. He has played for two years on the class football team and was picked as a varsity man this year. He has the ability to go through the line where others fail. Last to be mentioned is his warm affections for the fairer sex. He is a great ladyis man. It would be easier to find Simp broke than to find him without a girl. He is . one of the best Hmixersn in the class and has many friends among both sexes. He has taken part in every semi-annual celebration that -5 the Euphemian Society has held since he has been in Col- 'fi lege. He was one of the two declaimers his Freshman If year. He was an assistant Marshal his Sophomore year. A V A . Chief Marshal his Junior year, and President of the cele- i5!s bration his Senior year. Slmp is a fine speaker and good l . , society man. He is one of the best business men in College. kk - He realizes the truth in the old proverb, Honesty is the best policy, and not only does he stick firmly to this as his motto in business, but he makes doubly sure that the W other man does the same. 3 ,-.N -. F. lf ...z W 1 .git it l EVERETT A. SLOAN Dick Philomathean The Mind, the standard of the manf' In one of the issues of the Fayetteville Ob- server, during the year of Eighteen and Ninety- Five, this interesting news item appeared: Born to Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Sloan a son. The Observer extends congratulations. This son came to be called Everett and during his early days played about over the limestone rocks of Tennessee, all the while growing in stature and wisdom. In the spring of Nineteen and Eleven he graduated with honors from the Morgan High School, in the fall of the same year he departed from his parent hills and journeyed to Erskine. In Erskine he soon gained the favor of both faculty and students. The faculty liked him on account of the excellent class work and the students on account of his friendliness. At the beginning of the Sophomore year he became a member of the Philomathean Literary Society. This same year he was elected as marshal for the Semi-Annual Celebration, and served his society as secretary. During his Junior year, he was the first Vice-President of the society, and during his Senior year he was President, he was elected the editor-in-chief of the Erskinian by the student body: he was elected an associate editor of the Erskiniana by his class. These things showed in a degree his popularity. Dick has a mind that gets a, good grasp of whatever he puts it to. l-le has no specialties, but would just as soon make a one on chemistry as on Math., or on Philosophy as on French. As a result of his good class room work he will graduate with first honor in .f June. Although uDick is a good student he is also socially inclined and since he is handsomely versatile he is rather a Xb- favorite with the ladies. Of course any good-looking girl Ei is of interest to him but it is only in a general sort of way. He believes that to attain success one must concentrate his attention, and he has put his belief into practice. Q 1 i l i hi L, I l .Ag E IQ S lil N l Z 1 CHARLIE TODD STEWART Charlie, Euphemian And here I stand, judge my maslersf' In the year of 1892 Charlie was born in Tennessee, since that time he has inhabited Arkansas, North and South Carolina, during various periods of his life. At present his home is at Monitor, W. Va., and he is rather proud of the fact that he is the sole representative of that great old state. After having received his early intellectual training Charlie found his way to Erskine and became a member of the Fitting School. Since that time he has mounted the college ladder round by round, until he now holds his rank in the Senior class. To even give D a general idea of his college career, of his achievements and accomplishments, would be no little undertaking. He has taken an active part in almost every phase of college life. President of Y. M. C. A., President of Student Body, President of his class and of his societyg Freshman and Sophomore Declaimer, Junior and Senior Debater in the Semi-Annual Celebration of the Euphemian Society, successful Junior debater in the contest for the Darlington Trophy, winner of the Freshman Declaimer, Junior Orator, and Kirkpatrick Medals. These things give some idea of the varied character of his college activities. Charlie is an orator of no mean ability and as a result of his accomplishments along that line he has been chosen as the Erskine representative at the South Carolina Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest. At all times Charlie has striven to take advantage of the opportunities and privileges that have come to him, and he has made his college course a success. Although seem- ingly very quiet and unassuming Charlie loves fun and pleas- ure and joins in it heartily. In Athletics also, Charlie has taken a prominent part. He was full back on the Senior football team, and hit the line so hard and persistently that he was chosen full back for the All-Star team. He leaves Erskine in June, but the impress of his personality will re- main there for a long time. l C PAUL. ARCHIBALD STROUP p ' Stripped Philomathean Of manners gentle, of affection mildg in Ivif a man, simplicity a cliildfi During the month of September, in the year of Eighteen and Ninety-Three, Paul ffor this is what his parents call him, was born. He was born at the time, when The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, of wail- ing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear. The time of birth, however, failed to affect his character for though of the quiet disposition, he is cheerful and jolly when you know him well. When Paul entered Erskine the boys decided that the name did not suit him and from that day till this he has been known as Stripper. He was one of the five men of our class who took Prep', Greek, and enjoyed the privilege of being a member of the famous uQuincunx,' Club, which flourished during our Sophomore and Junior years. Stripper joined the Y. M. C. A. his first year in College. He was always a faithful attendant on all services and ever ready to do his part in any kind of Christian work. During his Senior year he was teacher of a Bible class, and in other ways he has proved himself very useful. He is a loyal Philomathean, and is always found at his post working for her welfare. Stripper,H however, ranks highest in the class-room. He is 1 . especially good in math, and more than an average student .X . in all his classes. That his class has confidence in him is - shown by the fact that he was Poetry and Short Story Editor of our junior number of The Erskinian and is an Associate Editor of our class Annual. The fair sex never did worry Stripped much. He always loafed Forbidden when it suited him, went calling Saturday nights if it was convenient, and always had a good-looking girl at the Junior-Senior banquet. We predict that the scheming little lover of Psyche will hit him hard when he does choose him for a victim. l MARY FRANCES STURKEY SturkH Calliopean Silence is more eloquent than words. The little town of McCormick was thrown into a wild state of excitement on August l9th, between the years l890-IS95, when it was noised abroad that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. B. Sturkey, a tiny morsel of humanity had opened her eyes upon the world for the first time. After many heated debates and dis- cussions the proud parents finally decided upon the name-Mary Frances. She learned her A. B. Cfs in the McCormick graded school but finding at the age of seven that the town was not large enough to appreciate her wonderful attainments, she studied under the Misses Giles in Greenwood for a year. However she was soon ready to return and graduate from the McCormick High School with honors in June, 1910. In l9l I hearing of Erskineis fame, she cast in her lot with the illustrious class of l9l 5. She has proven a worthy and diligent student. She was the only girl of her class to take the A Course and the boys find that she is an equal to any of them in combating Greek roots. And next year we predict for her an equally successful career in combatting the ignorance of the South. She became a society member in her Freshman year and throughout her college course has been a loyal and faithful follower of Calliopea. Her efforts to support her society have been untiring. She has been honored as one of her society's presidents and will this year act as chief marshal in the celebration. On the athletic field she has demanded attention, enter- ing into basket-ball with an enthusiasm that few express. She has been the efficient manager of the basket-ball team for two years. Although she gives the impression of a very reserved disposition, she has a warm heart and a sincere and frank manner, which has won many friends. A perfect woman nobly planned To warn, to comfort, and command. l'5l1 'v' .,l. -.I '. '- . , ,:-.-- -J o. W... P jfs- itll VA L 1 . ,f n l A BONNER DALE WHITE Peaches Euphemian 1 feel within me a peace above all earthly dignitiesg a still and quiet confidence. Perhaps no poet will ever burst forth in songg perhaps no orator will ever be inspired to loose his silver-tongued eloquence, because in the year i894 Bonner Dale White was born. But of this we are certain, the world will be better be- cause he has lived. We can imagine Peaches before he came to college as a help to his father, tender and thoughtful of his mother. In l9ll he entered Erskine, quiet, reserved, and studious. Since then he has grown into the hearts of his classmates. You have to know him to appreciate him. But knowing him you realize that he is a man with a purpose, a man who has ideas of his own and is not too easily influenced by others. He will go with the majority to the limit when he knows they are right, but if he thinks they are wrong he isn't ashamed to be in the minority. Faithful, earnest and dependable he has made himself felt in most all our college activities. Peaches joined the Euphemian Literary Society and was always a diligent and loyal worker in her interest. But it was as a member of the Y. M. C. A. that Peaches did his best work. A member of two cabinets, he was never known to shirk a duty. He represented Erskine Y. M. C. A. at several conferences, chief of which was the conference at , Black Mountain. Peaches played on his class football team for two years. During the Senior year he played center, and 'A when it came to holding a steady line he was right there Q every time. Since Peaches is quiet and of a retiring dis- position, it might be supposed that he cares little for the f ladies. This is far from the case. He has a way with a E girl all of his own, and it is generally agreed that he will be - t the first man from the good old class of 'I5 to enter in the holy bonds of matrimony. -Ufitfiyy - !--.J.1.:M EDWIN REYNOLDS YOUNG ..Ed,. Euphemian As merry as the day is long. As to whether The Holy Cityi' was made holier we can not say, but we do know that it was made happier on the night of September l6th, 1893, when from the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Youngithe glad tidings went forth that unto them a child had been born. Ed has spent his entire life in Due West. The little city laments the day when she shall have to give him up. Ed was such a lover of Erskine that he could not wait to finish his high school education, but entered the college as a l Prepf, He is one of the most faithful mem- l bers of our class. He is willing and ready to give his hearty support to all that the Class undertakes. He is a staunch member of the Euphemian. Literary Society. He has served as President and as Secretary of this society and also as a marshal in the Semi-Annual Celebration in his junior year. Ed is not alone a student. He is a student, merchant, and sportsman. He spends his extra time through the day, in his father's store, buying and selling in order that he may get gain. Although Ed's pa does not run a jewelry store, Ed seems to be very fond of dealing in jewelry himself. He makes a specialty of Senior Class rings. If you want to make Ed smile and get him to give you that characteristic salute of g Yi i his, when you meet him on the street, just ask him How ' ., i lifr about those rings? His extra hours at night, during the ' 'X fall, he spends in the jungles of Chicasaw in pursuit of the . ' . o'possum for which he has a great affinity. Ed represented Erskine at the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Black Mountain in the summer of l9l2. He has also played class football and had a part in various other college sports. In fact, he is an all-round college man, being able to do anything from preaching a negro sermon on up. To the Class of l9I 5 From Erskine's fountain of knowledge, you have drunk from its waters deep. You have gathered the essence of Science: faithfully her morals keep. May the golden wings of Prosperity olershadow your pathway for life And the angel of peace and happiness protect you from all strife. Be always as kind as a lover, faithful and true to the end, And a glorious reward will await you when your Ship comes sailing in. There will be hours of joy and of sorrow, there will be hours of pleasure and pain There will be days of sunshiny weather, there will be days of storm and rain, Out on life's billowy ocean, on the treacherous silvery foam, Live so that the Pilot will welcome you when your ship comes sailing Home. -Amicus Senior Class History EARNINC and knowledge are blended with the most unassuming modesty in the class of I9I5. Four years have we spent in striving to descend the hill of ignorance and going up the opposing hill of knowledge, and on reaching it, we Find that our laborious researches have yielded us only an humble conviction of our weakness and ignorance. We realize that our ad- vantage over the unlearned consists principally in our having ascertained how little we know. We feel that the beauty of education is that it elevates man and woman, and at the same time implants in them a spirit becoming it. The class of l9l5 numbering eight girls and thirty-eight boys entered Erskine College September ll, l9ll. The following class officers were elected: Charlie Stewart, President, Mary Bigham, Vice-Presidentg W. Phillips, Secretary and Treasurerg Bessie Leonard, Historian: C. W. Walton, Poet. The class motto was Facta Probentf' the class Hower, White Carnationg the class colors, White and Navy Blue ftruth and purityl. In our Sophomore year our class numbered only forty. eight girls and thirty-two boys. Those who did not return were Eva Minor, Flossie Latham, Bessie Leonard, J. T. White, Boyce Wideman, W. O. Stroup, C. W. Walton, W. C. Adams, Ci. P. Sturgis, P. E. Lathan, M. D. McConnel, Ludy Crockett, A. F. Settlemyer and H. C. Rea. The members added were Ruth and Corrie Sheflield, Stella Cain, H. T. Bolton, G. D. McGill, H. C. lVlcClerkin, W. S. Reid, James and Harrold Nichols. Stella Cain succeeded Walton as poet and Bertha Sanders succeeded Bessie Leonard as Historian. As Juniors only seven girls and twenty-four boys returned. Those lost were: Stella Cain, E.. Douglas, E.. C. Huey, C. Dale, H. T. Bolton, H. H. Lindsay, D. R. Kennedy, R. S. Cochrane and G. M. Nichols. W. S. Reid was elected Poet to succeed Stella Cain. We adopted the honor system for the remainder of our course. Our Senior year found us with only twenty-six members-seven girls and nineteen boys. Those who failed to return were: James Nichols, F. W. Dixon, W. P. Kennedy and H. C. lVlcClerkin. In athletics our class has occupied a very conspicious place. As Freshmen we had Betts, Phillips, Huey, Simpson and Adams on the Varsity baseball team and won the class championship for l9ll-l2. ln our Sophomore year, we had Betts, Phillips. Simpson, and Huey on the Varsity baseball team. This year we had to surrender the class championship to the Freshmen. As Juniors, we had Phillips, Simpson, and Barron on the Varsity baseball team. We also put out a football team which fought with skill and determination. And our Senior year, we put out even a better team. We tied with the Juniors for championship in the class games.

Baby Barron represented Erskine in the tennis tourna- ment his Senior year. In the literary activities of the college the class of I9I5 has taken a prominent and winning part. D. R. Kennedy was the winner of the Mower medal in our Freshman year, R. l... Davis in our Sophomore year, and C. T. Stewart was the winner of the Kirk- patrick medal in our Junior year. Both our studies and our relaxations during these formative years have been turned directly to the promotion of our own welfare, and indirectly to the welfare of our fellow- men. We know that at times we have lightly esteemed our opportunities, yet, as a rule we have tried to follow the path of duty. Whatever our efforts and failures in the past may have been, it is our aim to so live in the future that Higher, higher will we climb Up the mount of glory, That our names may live through time In our country's story.

We early showed a lively spirit, and although we were sometimes called loud freshmen, yet this unruly spirit was only a manifestation of our class pep We soon learned to know each other and to form friendships which will always endure. Our class responded nobly to the call in every phase of college athletics, in the literary societies, in the Y. M. C. A., and on the athletic field our skill and ability were visibly shown. Une of our number represented the college in the state tennis tournament, while we also had two or three representatives on the ball team. The Class of I9I6 usurped another honor by winning the championship in the class baseball games. Our Freshman year might be considered a hard year, but we stuck cloggedly to our work, for we were only looking forward to the time when we would become all-important Sophomores. As we began the second lap of our journey in search of the golden fleece of knowledge, we strove hard to live up to the name of Sophomores, but we strove also to make our record one of which we would be proud when our merry days of college are past. We were somewhat disabled this year by the loss of some of our former classmates, yet with that same determination we attacked the allied forces of Physics, Trig., etc., that so constantly beset our march. If there is anything in college life that requires an abundance of nerve and daring the ever-ready Sophomore is looked to for its accomplishment. We had a very full year, although we did use some of our time Hloafing Forbiddenf' flaying the fearful Freshman, and performing on the athletic field. Of course, we took up college work when nothing else interfered. The year wore away, but we did not allow our Sophomore spirit to wane, and we tried to make our last days as jovial Sophomores the best. The next fall we were again on the scenes of our former conquest ready to make the third dash at the hilly heights of knowledge in search of a udipf' Again our number had decreased but this had only helped to show us our individual responsibilities. The junior year is the transition from the lively, daring, and self-confident Sophomore to the dignified, ambitious Senior, and it is the year which most often shows the effect of college transformation. Our class continues to show its athletic ability in Football, Basket-Ball, Baseball and Tennis, and it is our hope that when we come back next year to assume the leading role in college life, that in athletics we can again take the leacl. Almost three years of our college course is ended and as the class of I9I6 enters upon the arena ol active life after one more year of college training, we will always seek to live up to our motto, Alta Polens, both for ourselves and for our fellows. ,4. p P LASS C SOPHOMORE R.

Ai 34 History of Sophomore Class A ACARCE two years of the time that flies has passed since we as Freshmen matriculated at Erskine. But in that small space many and notable events l have transpired. A diverse group we presented on that September morn when we for the first time assembled for the duties and Joys of a college life. ' 'J ' But use .frequently transforms the most dissimilar customs and ere long we were upon a common plane. Perhaps our work at first was the result not strictly speak- ing of forbidden fruit but the fruit of forbidden. It is not to be supposed that We escaped the customary corrections of the upper classmen but the remembrances of these corrections at this date are rather hazy. Suffice it to say that we soon struck our pace and have since maintained it. While we as individuals are not particularly bright stars in the intellectual galaxy, as a class we have contributed materially to college life and sports. Realizing that the work of the Literary Societies is a worthy supplement to that of the class-room, a goodly number of our band affiliated with the two societies here, where they now reflect honor both on themselves and on their societies. In athletics our proficiency has been more signally manifested. At least one member of last year's varsity team pleads guilty to the name of Freshman. While many though not able to achieve such a position nevertheless represented the class in minor capacities. While a championship in either line of sport was denied us we were all there for the trying. Un commencement day of our Freshman year we passed from Freshman to Sophomore in elegant floats elaborately decorated for the purpose. We found on returning for our second year that our class had been somewhat depleted by the absence of a few of its members. However, this last was greatly atoned for by the enrollment of a number of new members. With the result of a year's expe- rience to guide us we will be less likely not to conduct ourselves for the best interest of our class in the future. As our past has made the record of our present we are making a record of the future with undaunted spirits and willing hands and we hope for the best.

In spite of the dreary, tear-besmeared evening a number of old students assembled at the Grand Central Station to meet the Freshmen. The sound of happy voices and hearty greetings were soon drowned by the shrill Whistle and mighty roar of the Due West Limited No. l9. And such a class of Fresh I have never beheld! All sizes from moon fixers to tiny,H all colors from white to brown. A brave-looking girl fthe lim it kindl descended, hugging tightly in one arm a framed diploma. Holding to her skirt was a somewhat smaller lady with the expression of, Oh, what shall I do? written plainly on her face. Next, a dudish-looking fellow asked me what car to take for the college. I could not answer. I only turned my head to look for the car. Oh! If I have to teach that set, I'll have gray hair before the year is over. OCTOBER lST. To my surprise, a committee from the Freshman class notified me of the adoption of the Honor System. An organized class of thirty-eight boys and girls. They seem to be in earnest. I wonder wh-???? DECEMBER ZZND. After a critical week of examinations, I have something to be proud of. That is, my Freshman class. No failures and the A's predominate. They have not only won distinction in their studies, but have attained honors in football and basket-ball during the past season. lVlost of them have taken an active part in the societies and Christian Association. Many nice things have been said about them. It is so comfortable to sit by the bright hre on this Christmas eve with thoughts of them. HE SLEEPS-A VISION-HE AWAKES MY DREAM: Twenty years had passed away and then I, with the assistance of my walking cane made my way into the old auditorium to attend the lecture of a distinguished statesman. ln speaking to the new students he called their attention to the class of 'l8. He spoke of the fame they had brought to their country, their families and especially the honor they had won for Erskine College. l-le called them the loyal, climb the ladder class. ' That feeling which I experienced in the dream was true happiness. And God grant in the eventide of my life that this dream may come true. May part of the happi- ness be this old man's and the other part be the sunshine of the many lives who touch those of the class of 'l8, M. M. B.

Cedarville's Utopia-A Dream FSP' jEDARVlLLE, like all typical college towns is a small, long-settled com- ll munity where the traditions of the past years lingering in the atmosphere 4 ' u give it a uniqueness that distinguishes it from all other towns in the country. ii: f Indeed, all who come, even for a short time, and breathe the peculiar Scotch- Irish atmosphere feel like they for the time have been transported to another planet. Only a few years before the time of our story, had the quietness of the place been disturbed by the factory's whistle or the snorting of the iron horse. Even after these came, they never broke the calm and stillness which brooded o'er the Sabbath. No one could deny the moral uplift he would receive if he should enter into the spirit of the place. But in spite of the wholesome traditions of the past, there had crept into the life of the two colleges situated there things which were not so desirable. But to our story for this however. When our story opens, the students of Maxwell were being entertained at a reception by the students of Cedarville Woman's College. As you may surmise the former named institution was the college for men and the latter for ladies. At this reception the student bodies of both colleges were out in full force for it promised to be the only social event of the kind for the entire collegiate year. Things had not been running smoothly between the two institutions-at least between the President of the Woman,s College and the students of the other institution. The boys had been guilty of loitering about the Woman's College grounds and in various ways making the lot of the President a hard one. As a retaliation, there went forth the decree that this was to be the last reception of the year. And so it was that the pleasures of the evening were marred by the thought that no more would such occasions be enjoyed by the students. Many were the serious dis- cussions on the subject but for our present purpose only one dialogue will interest us. Wendell Emerson was entering the third year of his course at Maxwell and we find him talking earnestly to a Junior of the Woman's College-Miss Lucille Morley. Both of them had become leaders in their respective colleges and besides had become fast friends. A cloud hung over the young lady's brow and a troubled look was upon the face of the young man. Mr. Emerson, we have been good friends these two years and I should not like for our friendship to be broken. As things are, however, there must something be done and I am going to impose this condition on our being friends in the future, viz: that you directly or indirectly so reform the ideals of your institution that our president can not object to opening wide the reception rooms of our college and feel that he has none but gentlemen as guests. My dear Miss Morley, you are unjust. Your president is too narrow anyway and. besides, the girls in your own institution are just as much to blame as are the boys. It is only on one condition that I accept the challenge that you have given me. You begin at tl.-'a ' ,, home and make over the spirit of your own college and I will see what can be done with the boys. HI see, Mr. Emerson, that I have been forgetful of our own shortcomings and I accept the condition you have made to my proposal. The bell is ringing for our reception to break up. Go to work and lets bring about some reforms. As he slowly wended his way to the college home, Emerson was deep in thought. What was to be done? What is the matter with the college anyway? After much consideration, he decided that there were certain movements which, if he could get started, might work the desired revolution. I-le resolved to call a meeting of the student body. He realized with what an impulsive mass he had to deal here. and yet it was with one of the questions he wished to deal at this time that would determine whether the student body would be such a mass or should be a mighty power for action in the right direction. The meeting was called and this question was first on the program for discussion and action. Maxwell had never had student government. Certain evils had grown up among the students with which the faculty was unable to deal satisfactorily, such as gambling, drink- ing and the lesser evils named before. Emerson had gotten several of the strongest men in college to be prepared to express themselves on the subject of student government and the desirability of its being instituted at Maxwell College. Soon the enthusiasm was so aroused that a committee was appointed by the president of the student body to draw up plans for the initiation of the new order of things. The leaders of the new movement soon realized that it would not be the work of a day to get the movement on a sound basis, and besides there were other things that were almost absolutely essential to make it a success. One of these things and perhaps the fundamental one was to arouse the college spirit. How was it to be done? At least two or three things seemed possible. For one thing, intercollegiate football must be restored. Some years before, the faculty had prohibited this sport which so appeals to the average red-blooded boy. It was decided to bend every effort toward bringing this sport back into favor. Also, a gymnasium must be built. Because of the lack of this institution the students had not been given the chance to develop into the per- fect physical men they must be in order to grow into the higher things of the mind and spirit. Happily there was at least one man on the faculty alive to this fact. and he promised to lead in this movement. At least one other thing seemed necessary in order to develop the true college spirit. Inter-collegiate debates must be brought back into style. The mental man as well as the physical must be given a chance to try his mettle against the foe. Witlm all these things brought to pass and with the natural religious traditions of the place there would be no danger that the spiritual would not receive proper attention. Meanwhile, another student body meeting is being held in the same town. Miss Morley had determined to carry out her part of the contract. It was perhaps even more difhcult to decide what ought to be done or how it should be done here than at Maxwell. V. ' V lf? The president seemed obdurate in his determination to cut off the young ladies from all social privileges in which the ungentlemanly boys from Maxwell College would be par- ticipants. Too, the spirit of the college seemed to be even worse here than there. After much debate and moving of tongues, it was finally decided that nothing short of heroic self- denial would suffice to bring about a better state of affairs. The young men as individuals were no longer to be recognized from the campus as had been the time-honored custom, but were to be absolutely ignored unless the salutation were gentlemanly. On the other hand, rooting clubs were to be organized to help on the Maxwell athletic and debating teams to victory. Perhaps the hardest resolution to keep was that nothing was to be said about it all outside of the students of the Woman's College. Almost two years pass by. It is only a few months till Commencement of the Senior year for Emerson and Miss Morley. The students of Maxwell had been startled to receive an invitation from the President of Cedarville Woman's College to a reception in Rockefeller Hall from eight to ten-thirty, Monday evening. It had seemed a whole glacial epoch since such good news had been heralded forth. Once more festivity reigned riot in the halls. In the midst of the merrymaking the president of the Woman's College came in and rapped for quiet, and then asks to say a few words. An oppressive silence reigns over the halls. Was he going to announce once more that receptions were ruled out? Ladies and gentlemenf' he began, it is with pleasure evenfmore genuine than that of your own that I have watched you enjoy each others' company this evening. I want to interrupt you just a little while to recall to your minds some of the things that have gladdened the hearts of us all in the past year or two-things which you perhaps did not realize were just as pleasant to me as to you. As I passed the Maxwell gymnasium building I noticed not only that the young men were taking full advantage of this means of physical development, but I saw also the trophies the young men had won on the foot- ball field and on the baseball diamond. I want to encourage them in their debating also. Although they have not been successful every time, yet they have always put up a strong fight against the opposing college team. I see that they have become too busy with their athletics, their debating and their Y. M. C. A. work to spend time loafmg in forbidden paths or around the drug store corners. And I must tell the young ladies how proud I am of them. For the last year and more my life and work has been a constant pleasure. The students have taken all the problems of government off my hanclsg and, too, I am sure in their own mysterious way they have had their influence over the young men. I hereby announce it as my purpose to give you all a reception once every month that you may to- gether carry forward the work of advancing all that is best in college life. Without calling names I wish to thank especially two of those present to-night whom you will doubtless recognize as being most responsible for the present happy state of affairs in our two institutions. A gentle glow suffused the faces of Miss Morley and Emerson, as the eyes of many were turned towards them. After they became less conspicuous, Emerson turned . I 'I to Miss Morley and said, You, my dear Miss Morley. are responsible for whatever we have been able to do for our colleges. You remember the proposition you made to me many months ago. I here and now claim the right at the proper time and place to make the next proposal as to our future plans and purposesf' The only answer was a still deeper blush.

We know their names, their fragrance, their beauties, and we accept them as ministers of love from a spirit of love. But what is a flower? In life they do not support the existence of the plant on which they grow but give to it its beauty and charm and bathe it in an atmosphere of fragranceg while in death they meet the chief end of existence when they give to that plant its nearest approach to immortality. What is the Hower of a nation? What is that which is not essential to its present existence, lends to it its charm, gives to it its beauty, spends all its powers and in doing so gives to that nation immortality? We usually think of the flower of a nation as the rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, or the golden rod of our own fair land. These belong to Him who fashioned the lily and can not be considered as a part of the national life. Then we think of the army and navy, the pride of Germany and the glory of England, as the flower of a nation. Indeed their power is beautiful but instead of lending charm they lend dread and thereby fail to be the real Hower of a nation. Again, we think of the flower of a nation as its youth, its young manhood, whose beauty is its unmeasured powers and whose charm is its undying hope. But upon these the nation depends for its present existence and they therein fail to be the ideal flower. If these be not the flower of a nation, are we not looking on a barren plant for a blooming flower? You tell us that the nations of the past yet live and that their lives bespeak the life and death of a flower in whose petals lay the germ of immortality. We say they live not. Each has silently slipped into God's great Eternity, to take its place in the burial ground of nations. The bits of canvas and broken stones which they have left us are but the inscriptions on their tombs. The chief fact about Greece and Rome is their death. The theme of orator and the lesson of moralist is not what they did and how they lived but what they failed to do and how they died. Again, you tell us that they live on historyfs pages. We know they dog but this is but a grain of life which they have niggardly stolen from their Solons and their Socrates and does not rightly belong to them. No, the nations of the past, as nations, had no Hower to blossom and give them beauty. to die and give them life. And is there no flower of present nations either? Must we with our learning. our achievements, and our civilization, have our short summer and then fall as winter's leaves A Y, . ,J 5 3-.r 1 1 .fr . . X - x , . .1 L to take our place with the other nations? Our love for country and for good makes us cry out as we view the barren field of nations, Oh, for a hope,-for a flower in whose petals lies a life unending! At the very beginning of time, man knew that he who lived at his door was his neighbor. Ages passed and then he learned that all mankind, irrespective of nationality, rank, or color, was his brother. The world is coming to a new era! Like the first signs of the coming spring is the bud hidden in the heart of nature, so, dimly, faintly, but surely we see bursting upon the world the realization of the fact that, regardless of rank or circumstance, a nation is neighbor to all nations. And here we directly answer the question which we have asked ourselves, what is the flower of a nation? It is that spirit which recognizes the neighborhood of nations,- its other-regarding spirit. Some call it altruism, some brotherhood, and some love. Call it what you may, its charm is the only charm the world has, its beauty heaven born, its fragrance all pervasive, and in its every fiber is the beauty of sacrifice. This is what gives to national life its beauty and charm and in whose powers spent, rests the right to life. Nations exist by armies and naviesg by this they live. It is the flower of both national and individual life: and. because the nations of the past had it not. they had to steal from the characters which lived in those times and in whose lives blossomed this flower a place on the roll of Time. We have just declared that this spirit is awaking in the world to-day,-that this flower is budding. Nations are soon to realize that they can not live by a selfish policy of hate, aggression, and non-concession. Gradually we are coming to realize that national life is but the aggregate of the lives of the individuals and that one and the same standard of justice and right living must guide the course of each. Deepening in the national consciousness is the conviction that to be honest and kind and friendly does not alone belong to the sphere of the individual but that a nation, too. may clothe itself with that beauty born of brotherhood. Nations will soon know that in the neighborhood of nations thou shouldst love thy neighbor as thyself,-that a nation must be slapped on both cheeks, go its two miles, and give over not only its coat but its cloak also. The time has come to differ with the inglorious Lincoln and we now demand a nation of the people. by the people, and for the world. As one anxiously watches for the coming of spring and the bursting of bud, so we would anxiously look over the nations for the coming of this spirit and especially would we look in our own land. In the Mexican situation the policy of help has supplanted the spirit of hate. We bless when we are struck at. The world uses our money to construct its Panamas. A glorious neutrality is maintained. Concession after concession is made. Commerce dies as war zones widen. Armies and navies grow no larger and relief ships sail more often. Our flag is mistreated: our honor is questioned. Slowly we are dying: surely the germ of immortality grows. The winters of Time are breaking: the battle smoke is the melting snow: and here. in the land of the Colden Rod, first blossoms the flower of nations. lf 183 rl! l 21,5 f The Universal Goat The dormitory boys found That all their sweet pickles were sour, Their beans were improperly browned And worms had got into their Hour.

So with my banjo and my grip, I started on that long-hoped-for trip. I stopped my crying, my heart grew gay I didn't know where I was going, but was on my way. I saw the boys come in and take their seat All spick and span and dressed so neat. The one turned toward me. began to snigger And I didnit feel so big that I couldnlt feel bigger. So I started out with all the rest And swung the train for old Due West. I was anything else but proud and vain When I stepped off that Due West train. The boys for friends never seemed to lack With a Hello there and Glad to see you back. The crowd's joy I stood aside a-drinking And momentarily my body began a-shrinking. The Big Doc said, Let's go to the dormitory ' ,Y You are to stay in a corner room on the second story. Thereupon I took up my load And made steps for my future abode. l W i f g CCS g f W a1f'l5llf5X3i7 r afwaf A f 3 X lf' e A I il ff, 'H f wp, bi!g,,,,K,f7 Kg!!

He made me sing, he made me dance, He made me talk, he made me prance, And then with a solemn look he said, Now Fresh come with me and turn over this bed. And after using up all my strength and might, That'll do with you until to-morrow night. There wasnit much dreaming that night in my slumber For each time the clock struck I counted the number. But next morning found me in chapel with the mass, And I entered on trial the Freshman class. I didnit have to study any that day, But took an assignment from Prep. Galloway: Kindly take forward, said he with a look of the sages Two, four, six, eight, if you please, ten pages. The other professors not to my sorrow said Be prepared for recitations to-morrow. So I was at last a true college boy And the days flew by twixt doubt and joy. I attended the lyceums and all the lays, All the athletic games and good old soirees. I was as green as a Fresh could well be, The color scheme seemed just to suit me. But my interest in college never seemed to lag Even when Paulus would begin me to drag. The year's end rolled around to the last And the joy ol all every exam I had passed. s-.l If fi-lm r ' I i .. --....4. I came back to school the very next fall, Thinking I was the biggest Soph of all, But one day after A NIGHT BEFORE I asked Ping to please repeat the question o'er. I suspectf, said he, that the trouble is this, Tis the answer not the question that you miss. I tried for the baseball team that session, But nothingis as good as an honest confessiong And to say I was mad don't say half enough When the coach said, Hjim, you ain't got the stufffi so -53 'ti i .4472 Urlf 4155 Sp gs ses 25315152 pm fy ff fa3.1giQ?9A A., fl .Xp .1 jfs fa sslfgaslff, s 1- .. fist' ,, VS' Jgktl. 7 jew fff- so , ,f - ,N - ei , X ' x , .

And when we came to Ebb's room on the hall, His voice sounded with clearness, Morning to all.H The Junior work was heavy 'twas true, But there was some fun for the work weld clo. Under Prof. John, the lover of Brown's lVIule,H We had to learn accurately every German rule. And with the Bible and Ethics of Dr. McCain We soon learned the habit of taking great pain. At last came commencement and Big Docs' address, fAncl I knew that this was the last of Due West., You've been to Erskine for better or worse And your sojourn here has been a blessing or curse. So he presented the diplomas with this last word, And o'er the class not a sigh could be heard. And now that I have my equipment for life, All in the world that I need is a wife. I now hit the world for fortune or fame To build up a rep and make a great name. -+4'4L:-f---p--V - VY -L , W. -.--1-. gg.,--J I , I P , I r c 1 f-er v- '.' , !,, lg ff' f 17, ,-1--nv--f--an-an ,v.f...,....-.a-v-v,s.....,..-..-v--'-' ...........--up-' 6' x , aff sf,- ' ,A ..f ' f'-'id' .fP aff.

RESOLVED: That Government ownership of the Railroads in the United States is FDS kfllfi-Elie IA .-, - - t. r Debate THE CALLIOPEAN SEMI-ANNUAL CELEBRATION, l9I5 Miss RUTH SHEFFIELD-NEGATIVE Resolved: That government ownership of railroads in the United States is desirable. I. Introduction. II. Government ownership of railroads is not desirable because it is unnecessary. A. The present system of private ownership with government control is excellent. I. It secures honest management, efficient service and reasonable rates without undue discrimination. B. Our transportation facilities are the best in the world. C. Our railroads have adapted themselves to the needs of the country. III. Government ownership of railroads would be dangerous politically. A. A well-organized political machine would seek to control through patronage all railway votes for the party in power. I. The party would become so entrenched that nothing short of a revolution could put it out. B. Government ownership of railroads would lead to graft. I. .Agents acting for the government would cheat it. IV. Government ownership of railroads tends to Socialism. A. It would be a step toward owning all public utilities. V. Government ownership of railroads would be unwise for fiscal reasons. A. The purchase of the roads alone presents difficulties well nigh insur- mountable. I. It would increase the national debt immensely. 2. It would throw out of investment a large sum of money, depriving many people of an income. 3. There would be an outlay of an immense sum of money. VI. Government ownership of railroads has only partially succeeded where it has been tried. A. Government ownership of railroads is far from successful in Australia. I. She is stagnate as compared with her rivals, Canada and Argentina. 2. Her harbors are emptyg mines are not openedg land uncultivated. B. Government ownership has not succeeded in France. I. French roads are dangerous and have poor accommodations. 2. The people themselves are disgusted with their system. C. Government ownership of railroads has succeeded in Prussia better than in any other country, yet it has failed in many respects there. A. Conditions in Prussia are different from the U. S. I. Her population is thicker than ours. 2. Her traffic is different and her government is bureaucratic and administrative while ours is legislative and parliamentary. B. Her facilities and equipments are not as good as ours. I. Their freight rates are higher than in the U. S. ,y .v.. ' If .

It originated in the minds of America's sagest statesmen for altruistic motives. A. Jefferson, Adams, and Madison concurred with Monroe in proclaiming it. B. It was designed for the protection not only of the U. S. but also of the infant L. A. republics as well, not only temporarily but permanently. Il. It is approved, honored, and esteemed by the U. S. A. All administrations, congresses, and American citizens have held it as sacred to the best interest of the U. S. l. Polk, Lincoln, Cleveland, Roosevelt, and Wilson have re- affirmed it. 2. Congresses have so universally accepted it that they have never questioned it. 3. The people at large hold it as sacred as the Declaration of Independence. B. Since it is a principle for which the American people stand, it is better to openly avow that principle than to secretly harbor it. C. We have stood for it for ninety-one years and, as it has been respected, it is not sound reason that it should now prove a menace. Ill. It is respected by European powers. A. Foreign statesmen have approved it. B. In actual test it has held good with them. C. No nation has branded it as violation to international law either in The Hague or elsewhere. IV. Though formerly opposed to it, as l... A. states are becoming more enlightened they are enlisting in support of it. A. Their opposition was due to a false conception of our motives. B. The opposition of some was due to intoxication caused by rapid national growth which led them for a time to resent its protection. C. They are beginning to understand it, appreciate it, and enlist in its support. D. With them enlisted it, instead of being a menace, will be a binding tie between U. S. and l... A. V. It has offered protection in past, and under present conditions offers same protection with less risk. A. It has made it possible for L. A. republics to work out their destiny from infancy to full national growth unmolested by land-hungry foreign monarchies. B. In keeping foreign monarchies out of America it has been greatest possible protection to U. S. C. Now since L. A. republics are able to help maintain lVlonroe Doctrine it offers same protection with less risk to U. S. l. At first it was only a bluff yet effective. 2. Now since it is backed by the combined strength of the New World how can it be a menace? f I X PHILCMATHEAN HALL INTERIOR l'llll.oM.'xTllE.-xN ll.xl,1 EIQSKINIANNQS fi Delegates Sent to South Carolina College Press Association Convention at Columbia WOFFORD COLLEGE NEWBERRY COLLEGE CLEMSON COLLEGE JOHN j.

Qi 6 H, Seceders, we have heard, and our fathers have taught, the things which W U s 0 and expelled by thy handg cast out that thy people might dwell in their 4 I. , B I of old thou in Due West have wrought. How the heathen were crushed gf land. We have heard that there was in days gone by, a corner of the land, a rock, on which sat at times an old Indian chief to rest himself from the toils of the chase. And there came to him men from a far country, who gave him strong drink, which made him happy, and in his rejoicing, to sell his birthright for a few pieces of silver, Yea, he parted with his patrimony for a sum to satisfy the lust of his stomach. And so it came about that this community came into the possession of the white men, and that these men builded them places of habitation of the wood of the forests thereof. And after the manner of men the town of Due West came to be numbered among the provinces of the king, of George the Third. But the people of the city did evilly in the sight of men and of the king, so that there came wars and rumors of war. And the country was visited with a courage of strife. But as a child turneth from the evil of his ways under the application of the rod, so the city of Due West changed under the chastisement of War. She had been through the fire, and was born again. She became an holy city, and the inhabitants thereof feared the Lord, and were happy in their religion. It so happened in the year 1832 that a sect of the church which is called Presbyterian withdrew from among their brethren and became a separate people. They were a stiff- necked people and straight-backed were they. And they had not where to lay their heads as a church. So they sent forth apostles to search the lands, from the North even to the South of it, to see if they might find an habitation fit for the abode of these chosen ones. And as they made their journey it happened to them that they came upon the town of Due West which they saw to be a land flowing with the milk and honey of possibilities of isolation, which their souls loved. And as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in Judah, so did these good A. R. Pfs found and build up the walls of Zion in America: yea, Due West became the New jerusalem. And at the feast of Synod, there came up all the men of the tribes of the Seceders, to be examined and to make reports of their doings in the faith. Those were faithful men, and wise in their own conceit. CHAPTER II. But as the years passed, and as the time for the departure of the patriarchal saints drew near, it became known, yea it was veritably published throughout the land that the young men, upon whom the foundations of the church were builded, yea. it became certain that these young men were not wise in the teachings of the faith of their fathers. So, upon the making known of this, there came together the chief priests and elders, to decide as to r' A i. f i -I I--I' sl r t..E'- . the establishment of a place of learning and of study. The question was, Wherewithal shall a young man learn, if he has none who may teach him, and make him to know the way in which he should walk? And after prayer and consultation it was decided that there should be founded in the town of Due West an institution, which should be called by the name of Erskine College, and that this should be the name thereof, from thenceforth even unto the death of the church, the founders of it. And so there remaineth to this day that same college which is called Erskine, yea even to this day, and it is the custom that near the tenth day of the ninth month of the year, in the month which the heathen nations have called September, that at this time of the year, in this same month, that all the youth of the church assembleth themselves under the portals thereof. There come up at this time the youth of all the tribes of the church, from the east and from the west, to be enrolled as disciples of those who have been appointed to teach them. And he who cometh up for the first time conceiveth the idea that he hath fallen among thieves and robbers: for verily I say unto you that they strip him of his raiment ofttimes, and they fail not to beat him and to bruise him sorely. And none cometh to him to put him on his beast and to take him to a place of refuge. But on all sides there appear those who say unto him: Fresh ffor so he is calledl, take up this trunk and walk with it to the third Hoor, to a room which I shall make known unto you, and when thou hast placed it there return thou unto me and I will give you more work that thou can'st do. And know thou that henceforth thou art my fresh. For surely the Juniors have rooms, and the Sophs have dens, but the poor Fresh hath not where to hide himself when he is pursued by his enemies. CHAPTER III. After it had seen the creation of Erskine that it was good, the Synod of the church decided that there should be a companion for him in the same place where his home wasg and so it was: The Woman's College was founded from a rib taken from the side of Erskine, since the faculty of this new creation came from the members of E.rskine's faculty. And that which came from its own rib became a thorn in the flesh of this same faculty, all because there came to be established by the students of the college called Erskine a street. which was forbidden to their feet. And as in the days when Eve tempted Adam to sin in the sight of his Creator, so caused the girls the Erskine boys to sin, in that they tempted them to tread on the forbidden territory. And the edict had gone out, in the code of the faculty, which changeth not, Thou shall not loaf Forbidden. On all the streets of the city mayest thou walk, and take thy strolls, but on the street that faceth the Woman's College thou shalt not Ioiter, neither shalt thou doff thy lid to the ladies. But many there were who heeded not the instructions of their elders, and these fell by the wayside, or were plucked off by the good doctors who ruled over the domains of the young women: and no soirees did they attend. ,. : 5, is ' U y V , 9 E, f, 41 N xt f X l 1 i ':..r l .4 1. hi-HMV .i'. . CHAPTER IV. But it so happened that the people within the walls of the city fell from their high estate, and there was necessity of judgment being meted out to them. And to it came about that there was established a body of councillors, to be called by the name of the Town Council, as a shield and buckler unto those who dwelt within the walls of the city. And great have been their acts. It were better for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for a college student to fall into the hands of these bold men. And that there may be certainty that no evil-doer shall escape the penalty for his sin, a police force of Chief Young, the city watchman, and a special patrolman for the grounds that pertain to the Woman's College have been elected. Yet these watchmen a useless watch maintain, for even the Fresh know that it is in violation of the law of the realm to touch or to handle anything whereof the town may say, It is minef' In spite of the carefulness of the boys, however that may be, yet some of them, yea a few of those who do what they see is right in their own eyes, I say a few of these have fallen into the snares of the insidious ones, and have been fined, some thirty-five, some forty, and some even fifty dollars, of the coin of the realm, which their devoted fathers have earned for them and have sent it unto them for use in a higher calling than that whereto they have put it. Yet they must render to the council that which is the council'sg and thus goeth that which is gained from the sale of the fatted calf and the lame mule. CHAPTER V. And there were times when men went up from Due West to Donalds on foot, on horses or on milk cows, according as the Lord had prospered them. But now one goeth by way of a railroad train, for although great is the conservatism of Due West, yet Mam- mon has pushed a screaming chariot of iron into their midst. And during the days of the week, this same train doth run and make an awful racket, disturbing the peace and quiet of the country that is near unto the city. But on the seventh day of the week the train and all that are employed therefor take unto themselves a rest: for the thirteenth commandment readeth, Thou shalt not run thy train on the Sabbath day. Six days shalt thou drive it and haul freight, but on the Sabbath thou shalt not leave the shedg for seven days work maketh the engineer to swear. Yet this train, chartered under such holy auspices, is a dreadful monster, since it hath been known to go out into the highways and hedges, yea, into the green fields to kill a calf as a sacrifice to its greed and haste. And in the interests of the owners thereof the council has passed an order that no one shall blow the whistle that is on this train. Cr if one should do this evil thing, and then should fall into the hands of Chief Young, the chief shall turn him over to the council, who shall turn him over to the faculty, after that they have extracted from him the sum of ten dollars, of the money which his father has sent to him for a purpose of a higher nature than that to which he putteth it. And the faculty, which is the highest law of the student world, shall say . - W . 5 , 'ln' L'?f,2N' Q1 ' unto him, Depart hence, thou wicked evil-doer. Thou shalt be cast out as chicken bones are cast out of the windows of the dormitory. And he goeth, according as the com- mandment readeth. CHAPTER VI. And now we come to the conclusion of the whole matter, and as the days of the present draw nigh, and as the present Senior Class goeth out from this city into the land of the Philistines, it is our prayer that no peace shall dwell within thy walls, oh, Due West, until the day in which thou shalt, as in the days of old they did in the city of which thou art the present representative, yea, until thou shalt raise up within thy midst a new town council the members of which shall consider man, that he is a sinner by his fall, and a college student, that he is the most weak of men in the way of wickedness against the laws of the land. But our prayer for Erskine is that peace shall dwell within her walls and joy within her palaces, yea, within the dormitories thereof, And as we leave we will hang our Jew's harps upon the beheaded oak trees of the streets of the city, and will no more sing a song for those who have made us to serve them lo these many years: nay, we will sing no song of Due West and her righteous men, for we fear that they exist not in the land whereof these chronicles are written. And our prayer for the inhabitants of the new Jerusalem is that when they have died, full of days and of honors, they may sleep with their fathers, and be buried among their grandchildren: and that none shall disturb their bones, as they sleep the sleep of the righteous. But are not the acts of the A. R. Pfs, of the Faculty, and of the Town Council found in the Book of the Chronicles of the later days of the city? Search these volumes that thou mayest be wise in their doings, and be fitted to become a good A. R. P. in after years. And to all who have endured the pleasures of loafing on the streets of Due West for a season of four years, to all such do we send greetings. and greet all the dwellers in the tents of the Woman's College with a holy kiss. And may the blessings of all the brethren be upon you. Q, f we Y 2 Q in x Q Q x Q Y ' N ,.

Extracts from a Freshman's Letters Home DUE WEST, S. C., SEPT. 26, I9l4. MY DEAR DAD: My first week in college has been an eventful one. On our first night here all Fresh were put thru an initiation process. It was awful, I imagine, something like you went thru when you joined the Masons. The second night they held a Fresh Reception in our honor. I paid fifteen cents for a ticket and they did not take it up. They furnished plenty of perfumery free to all Freshmen. They called it I-loyt,s. I smell good yet. In one corner there was a cold drink stand where they dispensed red lemonade which they called Punch.H I drank a glass and offered to pay for it, but it was free also. I sat by one girl nearly all the evening but she didn't talk much. I clidn't know what was the matter with her: thought perhaps she was partially dumb, but some fellow came along and said she was Ustuckf' I guess her seat was freshly paintedg I know her face was. The next night the Sophs had the Fresh give a concert in front of the Woman's College Dormitory. They marched us down there to the tune of whizzing belts and razor straps. All the windows were filled with girls. Each Fresh had the honor of stepping out, announcing his name and address, and singing a solo. Our class must contain some fine vocal talent for the girls applauded us profusely and seemed to enjoy our programme immensely. The old fellows certainly are friendly to new students here. Every morning when one comes into chapel everybody yells HE.Y! and HFRESI-l!', long and loud, but I do not like so much limelight. Oct. ZOTH. We had a football game to-day and a soiree afterwards. I played tackle and made a Htouchdownn-the former in the game, the latter at the soiree. Ocr. 3IsT. Please let me come home, or I shall evolute into a fish. I have not been dry in a month. They have a custom here of giving Freshmen compulsory baths continually. Just let a Fresh go anywhere near the dormitory and Sophs on the third floor pile paper bags of water down upon him higher than jupiter ever piled mountains on his recalcitrant Titans. DEc. I ITH. The other day a sporty looking upper-classman walked up to me and asked if I could play pitch. I told him, Sure, but where I came from they don't call it pitch: they call it catch. I-Ie looked like he thought I was a fool, and I thought he resembled a fool more than a baseball player. DEC. I6TH. Send me some money. DEC. I7TH. Exams are on and I'm not sorry. I am weary of the changeless scheme on which our recitations run. Tommy cracks jokes: Paulus whiles away the hour by dragging one man for the amusement of the others: Ping suspects: and Prep anticipates, but Big Doc says That's all right. I like the faculty fine, but, if ignorance was bliss. some of them certainly ought to be happy. l I JAN. I4TH. Send me among other things a new coat. It snowed here the other day and, while I was demonstrating my fleet-footedness in front of a charge of snow-white balls of ice-cold persuasion, hurled by burly Sophs, I turned a corner too quick and popped the tail oft of my best coat. If this snow lasts, I'Il develop great speed, but at the high cost of coat-tails. F EB. I7TH. The Woman's College authorities are mighty nice to us boys. We sit in one Amen corner at church and they put the girls in the other one for us to look at. We loaf For- bidden and they send the girls out on the campus to make wickets with us. If we loaf too much or make too many wickets or get drunk, they give us a reception. Our faculty does not like this, so they have a demerit system. If you are on Forbidden and see a faculty man coming and don't hide under the church, you are given some demerits. They keep giving them to you until you lack only one of having enough to send you home, then they quit. MARCH 3IsT. The baseball season has opened up. I do not play for lack of time, as all Fresh have to carry water. The first time I was told to bring some I refused and consequently had to pay a visit to third floor. Now, every time I sit down I remember that visit. APRIL ZND. The student body here is made up of two distinct genera, co-eds and college men. The latter are divided into four species: Seniors who wear derby hats, Juniors who cultivate landscape gardens on their upper lips, Sophs who have the big head and mighty right arms, and Freshmen who are the real backbone of the college. The other genus, the co-eds, are the pride of the college men. If they should lose their inheritance, there would be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, for they are an ornament to the campus, shining lights in the class-rooms, enthusiasts in athletics and all other kinds of outside activities, and trumps in their class. Four years of Pest House grits and midnight oil makes them wise and Winsome, and, what is better still, matrimonially inclined. I'm going to bring one home with me when I graduate. MAY Z7TH. Look out, I'm coming! Will be home next week. I hope I'll find you fat and hnancially prosperous, as I shall be a Soph next year and my paper-bag and belt bill will be enormous.

MILLER PI Erskine's Football N TQ T last the board of trustees of the college have allowed us to enter the lists years, and after trying class football for two years, we are now in a position if : with an inter-collegiate football team. We have sought this for several l to take part in the game as a college. We are the last college in the state to get this phase of athletics established, and, as this is the case, our team next year will be badly handicapped. But we have full confidence in the management of the team, in the man engaged to coach it, and in the student body to support even a losing team. For our pep in the past shows the loyalty of an Erskine student body. And if there are backsets, which there surely will be the first year, let us all remember that next year is our first attempt at football, and let,s every man hang ton Sunbeam and Dooly and coach LalVlotte until the last quarter is played and we can rest assured that they will hang to us and do what they can to put out the best team possible with the material at hand. And the material will not be lacking, if we may judge from the quality of football played by the various class teams the past two years, and especially the games of this year. The outgoing Senior class wishes to express to the football enthusiasts their sincere hopes for a most successful first season, and their wish that they might only be here to take a try at Erskinefs first ,Varsity team. Although good wishes are worth something, they are of no value unless backed up by support in other ways. And now is the time for every Alumnus of Erskine and for every member of her student body to show his loyalty and pep by being behind that team with all he has. Let us help however we can. And may our first team play the same brand of football that our teams in other lines of athletics put up, and may her opponents know they have played a game every time they meet our men on the gridiron. So here's to the success of our baby sport, whose entrance we have looked forward to so hopefully. The record of the past season of class football is as follows: Juniors, 8 Seniors, Zl Juniors. 7 Sophs, 2 Fresh, 0 Fresh, 7 Seniors, l Seniors, 43 Sophs, 0 fforfeitedl College-Town, 0 Championship Game -l Senlors' 6 il.
