HE present generation of students in looking over the early records of Heidelberg will find few men more fre- quently mentioned t h a n Henry Leonard, the financial agent, or The Fisherman. He render- ed invaluable service to the college during the years 1856-'88. He was born February 14, 1812 in Basil, Ohio, and died December , 7, 1889. His parents were natives . of Switzerland. He was consecra- ted to God in baptism in infancy and was received into full mem- bership of the Reformed Church in early youth. His early education was obtained in the schools of his native village, and though the ad- vantages of secular education were not those of to-day, he made good use of the privileges afforded and laid the foundation of a well-train- ed and liberally stored mind. Nature had endowed him with more than ordinary capacity. With a mind acute, penetrating and invent- ive he made rapid progress in all his undertakings. In early manhood he engaged in mercan- tile pursuits in Basil, and soon acquired a competence. But he became deeply inter- ested in the educational work of the church and in 1856 accepted the agency of the college tendered him by the Synod of Ohio. It required a severe struggle to give up his bright business prospects and undertake the hardships and self-denial of the agency. But with the conviction that the call came from God, he devoted all his energies to the work and erected a monument more enduring than marble. He traveled over IO8,000 miles in the interest of Heidelberg, engaged in securing subscriptions, collecting interest on notes, and inducing students to enter the institu- tion. He was well informed on the educa- tional and theological questions of the day and quite competent to defend his views. Of an agreeable disposition he was a great HENRY LEONARD. The Fisherman. favorite with the people and known to every one in the Reformed Church of Ohio. Abundant in plans and resources, he suc- ceeded in collecting a considerable sum of money and in awakening a deep interest in Heidelberg. He was convinced that the institution has a great mission to fulnll and for the realization of this ideal he spent the best years of his life. A numerous concourse of people attended his funeral in Basil, among them a large number of ministers. Appropriate memorial services were also held in Heidelberg Chapel. His name and memory are deeply cher- ished by the older students and friends of the University. DR. A. S. ZERBE. ,-7 S if ,Ji X Joseph B. Shumaker, 11892-94.3 E. D. Wettach, 41894-99.3 H.

QU5 THE spring 1839 the Synod of Ohio and adjacent states met in E9 3 annual session at Lancaster, Qhio, and were generously dined by the guy? late John U. Giesy at his hospitable hostelry. The late Henry Wil- liard and myself were then boarding at the same place. During this dinner and meeting of synod a great deal was said about the necessity of establishing a Theological Seminary within the bounds of this synod. It was also learned that as early as 1835 this matter had been talked over, but no definite action taken. Although I was only twenty years old at that time, and had but an imper- fect knowledge of the English or any other language, Iunderstood very well the importance of the question before synod, and concluded that in my humble way I would do whatI could to accomplish the desired object. By the advice of my friend, the late Rev. Henry Williard, I went to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and entered Marshall College, hoping to learn in two years all that was necessary for the accomplishment of my favorite scheme, but Rev. E. V. Gerhart, who was then a post graduate there, said that if a young man found out in two years that he knew nothing he was making commend- able progress. This somewhat dampened my ardour, but 7ZZ.!LZ,6'SfE7'fZ7Z6l72!71'Z, I continued my studies, keeping steadily in view the object of my ambition. About the year 1846, the same synod appointed a committee of three to receive proposals for the location of such an institution, but people were in no hurry in presenting their offers. About the year 1847, the people of VVorthington, Franklin Co., Ohio, offered to donate for this purpose, a lot of about four acres containing a commodious building, but as the church had no membership there or in the vicinity it was thought inadvisable to accept the offer. About the year 1848, I attempted to interest certain citizens of this city to purchase a lot of four acres on the southeast corner of Town Street and Washington Avenue, which could be purchased for 32,0005 it is worth now not far from 8100,0o0. I went to mine host, Wm. Kelsey of the American House, whose elegant residence was just west of this piece of land, and asked him what he would contribute toward securing an institution of this kind for that locality. He answered very emphatically, I will give 8500 to keep it away. This virtually ended the effort. In the spring of 1849, when cholera broke out in this city, I left with my family and went into Fairfield County, Qhio. In my peregrinations through that county I came to Tarlton, where I found quite ra number of young men whose parents desired to afford them a better opportunity for education than they could obtain in the public schools, and yet without sending them away from home. Indeed, such Hatteringinducements were presented that I hired a hall and fitted it up with modern desks and appliances and soon had every desk occupied by diligent students. During the winter of 1849 and 1850 the citizens of Tarlton had meetings at different times and subscribed something over 85,000 for the purpose of securing the location of the proposed Theological Seminary. Meeting with such success, a special meeting of synod was called. The proposition of the citizens of Tarlton to donate 85,000 and a beautiful site of four acres on what was called Floral Hill, on the banks of Salt Creek, in the west part of the town, was accepted. The new institution was called Heidelberg College. This name was suggested by the late Henry Williard, who was always a warm advocate of such an institution. A committee of citizens was also appointed to collect the amount subscribed and erect a suitable building on the proffered site. Steps were immediately taken and contracts made to carry forward the work. I was appointed by the synod, President ofthe new institution and continued my academic work during the following summer. It seems, however, that after the synod had taken this action, the late Rev. Hiram Shaull who was then pastor of the Reformed Church at Tiffin, Ohio, conceived theidea of making an effort there for the re-location or transfer of this seminary. Having succeeded in getting subscriptions to twice the amount that Tarlton had subscribed, he presented a proposition of that kind to the regular annual meeting of synod held at Navarre, Ohio, in the autumn of 1850. After canvassing the advantages of the new location and larger amount to be secured, synod Hnally decided to accept this new proposition, and appointed a committee of three to visit Tarlton and arrange with its citizens in such a manner that they would not sustain any pecuniary loss on account of the action taken at the special meeting of synod locating the institution there. While it may have been a mistake to locate the college at Tarlton, yet if that effort had not been made, it is doubtful whether the effort would have been made at Tiffin at all, and without such an effort as was made at Tarlton, the church might still be without Heidelberg University. All hail for Tarlton. COLUMBUS, omo, April, 1898. 5, 5, RICKLEY, tPub1ished by permissionj Historic Heidelberg. A 4275, NASMUCH as the current year marks the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Im.: E E FYI 'e ' 'i 4 founding of the institution, the Editors of the present issue of the AURORA 4 , propose to give their readers a fuller historical sketch of Heidelberg than ll usual. The present story opens at the point where the writer of the narra- tive on the pre-historic period closed. The original name of the institu- tion was Tarlton College, derived from the name of the first location. At a meeting of the Synod of the Reformed Church in Ohio and Adjacent States, con- vened at Navarre, Stark County, Ohio, on the 26th of September, 1850, it was Resolved, That the proposition of the citizens of Tiiiin tendering a donation of xII,O3O, and so much more as may have been, or may hereafter be, subscribed to the object, in consideration of the location of our Literary and Theological Institutions in Tifhn, be acceplezl, and that these Institutions be, therefore, transferred from Tarlton to Tiiiinfl In connection with the above action the following resolution was also passed, bearing on the adoption of the historic name of the school: Resolved, That in accordance with the general desire of the church, the name of Heidelbeljg College be chosen for the Literary Institution. At the same session, the Synod elected jacob Kroh, Esq., of Tiffin, as the nrst Treasurer of the new institution, also elected ten trustees, five of whom were to serve for one year, and five for two years, and further ordered the holding of a General Convention ' on the 14th of December, 1850, for the purpose of more fully maturing plans of location and organization. The said convention was held, pursuant to appointment, at which time the selection of a .vile for the proposed building was determined, the committee on plans and speciicationsj' previously appointed, reported, and a Constitution and By-Laws of Heidelberg College H was adopted. By this constitution provision was ordered for tive distinct courses of instruction in Heidelberg College, to wit:- I. A Classical Course, comprising four years. 2. An English Course, comprising llzree years. 3. A Farmers' Course, comprising llzree years. 4. A Teachers' Course, comprisin g lkree years. 5. A Preparatory Course, comprising lwo years. An Act of Incorporation was also formulated, and assigned to a committee with direc- tions to obtain its passage through the General Assembly of the State of Ohio. It may also be of interest to state that the Synod in this convention devoted considerable time to an examination of eleven proposed sites, and to a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages. On the fourth ballot the site for a building was chosen, and the Board of Trustees was directed to purchase from Josiah Hedges, Esq., live acres of ground for fI,OOO, assoon as may be possible and may be considered judicious. A plan for a build- ing was adopted, and the following members of the Board of Trustees were chosen as a building committee, viz : jacob Kroh, Esq., Louis Baltzell, Robert Crum, Henry St. john, and I. I-I. Good. From these items of business which claimed the attention of the conven- tion, it may readily be seen with what earnestness and zeal the Synod determined to carry forward the work of founding a new institution of learning. Having thus given a sketch of the preliminary steps taken by the Synod in the move- ment, we come now to the formal opening of the college, and the beginning of its historical 2 Easel! career. The city of Tiiiiln furnished its local habitation, here, we are informed, in rooms rented in Commercial Row, the college was formally opened, November 18th, ISSO, with seven students in attendancefl For the information of the present generation, it may be well to mention that Commercial Row was situated on the west side of 'Washington Street opposite the Commercial Bank. The number of students soon increased so that the first catalogue issued CISSO-515, announced an enrolment of 149 names. In the first catalogue we notice some features worthy of mention:- 1. The number of Trustees was increased from the original ten, as elected by Synod, to twenty-six. This increase was effected by the terms of the charter allowing each of the- classes teight in numberj of which the Synod was then constituted, the privilege of electing two members. Louis Baltzell was chosen as the first President of said Board. 2. The Building Committee was increased from live to seven members, the two added being the honored names of NVilliam H. Gibson, Esq., and Rev. E. V. Gerhart. 3. Another notable feature was the announcement of a list of scholarships which had been sold during the year, aggregating in value to the amount of Jf.,z,7S5.00. 4. The first Faculty was constituted as follows:- REV. E. V. GERHART, A. M., President, and Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy and of the Evidences of Christianity. REV. 1. H. Goon, A. M., Professor of Mathematics and Mechanical Philosophy. REV. S. S. RICKLY, A. M., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Teaching. REV. REUBEN Goob, A. M., Rector of the Preparatory Department. MRS. A. M. LEE, Principal of the Female Department. In addition to the above chairs,', the prospectus as announced in the first catalogue contemplated also a Professorship of the Ancient Languages and Belles Lettresg a Profess- orship of the Natural Sciences, and a Professorship of the Theory and Practice of Agricul- ture. t' It is the intention of its founders, says the prospectus, to establish Heidelberg College upon a broad and comprehensive basis. Influenced by this purpose, and especially by the circumstances of the Vtfestern States, Heidelberg College has been projected upon a plan that will afford a thorough education to all Classes of persons who will avail themselves of its advantages. 5. Courses of instruction were outlined for the following lines of work: Classical, or Collegiate, Preparatory, or Academicg Teachers', or Normal Departmentg and a Scientific and English Class. These facts certainly exhibit a promising start for the new institution, indicating extraordinary interest in the enterprise on the part of the Reformed Church in the Synod of Ohio and Adjacent States, as well as of the community in which the college had been located. Coming to the second catalogue issued, which was the catalogue for 1852, we notice further evidences of progress. The enrolment of students in all the classes was 174. The faculty of instruction, as previously announced, remained unchanged with the exception of the substitution of the name of Miss Sarah I. Thayer, as Principal of the Ladies' Depart- ment, for that of Mrs. Lee. The Professorships of the Ancient Languages, and the Natural Sciences were as yet unfilled. A special announcement was made of the progress reached in the erection of The New College Edincef' It was so far completed that the Faculty said they expect to be able to- occupy it, for the purposes of the institution, by the I5tll of December, 1852, or very shortly thereafter. Another long list of scholarships sold during the year was also announced, aggregating to the amount of 59,292.00 It may be mentioned, in this connection, that with the issue of the third catalogue tI853J the practice of publishing the number of scholarships ceased. The corner-stone for the New College Edifice was formally laid amid imposing cere- monies on the 13th of May, 1852. It bears this inscription: Heidelberg Collegeg Char- tered ISSIQ From Rev. E. Hiener, Baltimore. The occasion seems to have been one of great interest. It was estimated that four thousand persons were present. The address of the occasion was delivered by General Samuel F. Cary, of Cincinnati, on The Dignity and Importance of Labor in its Relation to the Physical, Intellectual, and Moral Develop- ment of Man. The formal act of laying the stone was performed by Major Louis Baltzell, President of the Board of Trustees. As to any formal ceremony of dedication of the building, after its completion, we have not been able to trace any notice. The occupation of the building, however, was not reached as early as had been expected. The work was delayed so that it was not ready for occupancy before the spring of 1853. The work after this went forward rather slowly for want of means. The building is estimated to have cost about ,g20,000, although, in an earlier history, it is stated that the exact amount could not be ascer- tained from the books. In -1867, three and one-third acres of land, lying between the campus and Hedges Street, were added to the original purchase. By means of this purchase the campus was greatly enlarged, so that it now contains over eight acres of ground. The original college building stood alone upon the campus for a period of sixteen years. In 1867, the President, Rev. Dr. Geo. W. VVilliard, obtained permission from the Board of Trustees to erect a dwelling-house on the campus, to be known as the President's House. With his well-known energy and activity, President Williard raised the funds for this pur- pose by special contributions, leaving the endowment of the college intact. This house, a large and commodious brick dwelling, two stories in height, was completed in 1868 at a cost of 5QC4,25o. In the year 1873. the large and commodious Ladies' Hall was built, at a cost of about g7,000. It was furnished and ready for occupancy at the opening of the college year in September, 1873, and has proven to be a great accommodation for the ladies attending from abroad. The institution had rounded out thirty years of its history when the feeling, which evidently had been growing for several years, for a new and more modern college building, culminated in a very definite and positive series of resolutions at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees held in May, 1881. As a whereas for the proposed action it was declared that there is an imperative demand for a New and impffovfd college building, additional to the old one erected thirty years ago, which is both antiquated in style of archi- tecture and impaired by years of usageg therefore it was l?e50lzfezi, That the time has now fully come when this Board should take active measures looking to the early consummation of this much needed enterprisefl And the Board did take active measures. The Execu- tive Committee was immediately ordered to obtain plans and specifications for the building, a committee of finance for this special purpose was raised, whose duty was specifically defined to be the soliciting of the necessary funds for this purpose. The President of the College was relieved, as far as possible, from the internal work of teaching, and requested to spend a good share of his time in soliciting funds, and furthermore the Alumni were earnestly solicited to consider this project, and urged to give all possible aid in this impor- tant enterprise. This action certainly indicated the earnestness and determination of the Board in carrying forward the project. A vigorous Building Committee was appointed on April IO, 18835 on the 24th of July, 1883, the committee decided to employ Messrs. Peters it Burns, of Dayton, Ohio, as architects to draft plans, specifications, and details com- pleteg and on September 17, 1884, the contract for the erection of the building was awarded to Messrs. Chamberlain 85 King of Tiffin, for 546,558.85 Ground was broken for the new building on September 24, 1884, but the corner-stone was not laid until April 22, 1885. The total cost of the building eventually amounted to about f5o,ooo. The Board of Trustees, by formal action, paid a graceful recognition to Rev. Geo. W. XVilliard, D. D., for his faithful, untiring, and successful labors in raising funds to meet the financial requirements and obligationsfl The architectural style of the building externally is in plan and structure modern Gothic. The entire structure, including the wings, is 141 feet in length and IO8 feet in width. The height of the main roof, from the ground to its crest, measures 70 feet, while the altitude of the tower is 132 feet. Great caution was exercised by the committee to have good material used, first-class workmen employed, and thus they succeeded in having erected a substantial, symmetrical, and commodious edifice. The building contains twelve recitation roomsg one library and reading roomg one art roomg one Conservatory of Music room, four society halls, a chapel, together with nine ante-rooms and closets. The chapel is 46 feet by 68 feet in dimension, 24 feet in height, and with its gallery, has a seating capacity for 750 persons. It is neat and attractive, one of the finest apartments of its kind in the state, and bears the name of the first President of the institution, S. S. Rickly, Esq., who has taken much pleasure in furnishing the room. With reference to the entire structure, the chairman of the Building Committee, in making his Hnal report to the Board of Trustees, truthfully said: On the whole, our co-operative labors have been crowned with success. XVe have a substantial and attractive college edifice. It contains space enough to meet all the requirements for recitation, library, cabinet, apparatus, laboratory, and literary societiesg and also ample room in every respect for a large number of students, who may desire to obtain a thorough education, and rise to high and noble attainments in the sphere of letters and moralsf' A chemical laboratory, so important in scientific experiments and demonstrations, is placed in the basement, and fully answers the purpose for which it is designed. The central rotunda is 34 by 48 feet, extend- ing through the three stories, lighted from above by a magnificent skylight, and from the first floor measures 68 feet i11 height. The location of the building was well chosen, and meets with general approval. The building stands on the triangular point of the western side of the college campus, having the old building to the rear, and fronting to the west with the city of Tiiiin in the fore- ground. Situated on a commanding eminence, this temple of learning, with its massive tower, presents an attractive and imposing appearance. On Wednesday, june 16th, 1886, the dedication of this new building of Heidelberg College took place. This was apparently a glad day to which friends and patrons, professors and students had long looked forward with joyous anticipation. The festivities of the day consisted of two sessions. The morning exercises began at ten o'clock. After appropriate music and a prayer offered by Rev. Samuel B. Yockey, of Xenia, Ohio, the President of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Isaac H. Reiter, D. D., delivered the introductory address. The Rev. S. C. Goss, A. M., the present chancellor-elect of the institution, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, then received the building in an appropriate address. The venerable Rev. Geo. W. Williard, D. D., the President of the College, then delivered the address of dedication, at the close of which he solemnly in the name of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, set it apart from all mere common or ordinary use, and dedicated it to the purpose for which it had been erected. The Rev. Dr. Reiter, President of the Board, then offered the consecratory prayer, which closed the exercises of the morning. In the afternoon, beginning at two o'clock, the festivities were continued. After prayer offered by Rev. H. M. Herman, D. D., of Miamisburg, Ohio, the Rev. J. H. A. Bomberger, D. D., LL.D., President of Ursinus College, Collegeville, Pa., delivered the special oration of the occasion on the topic, L' The College for the Times. All these addresses were eminently able productions, and worthy of the important event in the history of the institu- tion. Thus furnished with this excellent equipment of a new building, so well adapted to the purposes of a higher education for our youth, Heidelberg entered upon a new era in her eventful history. Having thus sketched the narrative of the events which led to the erection of the main buildings, the next important step taken in the progress of the institution that challenges our attention was the relinquishment of its charter constituting it a college. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on the 18th and 19th of March, 1890, the articles of incorpora- tion of Heidelberg College were amended, enlarging the purpose of the institution and changing its corporate name to Heidelberg University, and the title of Board of Trus- tees to that of 'K Board of Regents. These changes were legalized, as certified by the Secretary of State at Columbus, Ohio, on the 28th day of March, 1890. According to the original provisions of the amended articles of incorporation, the following departments were established, viz. 1- Q 1. The Literary, which was to include the College proper, and the Academy. 2. The Conservatory of Music. 3. The Commercial School. 4. The Department of Art, 5. The Polytechnic Department. It was also ordered that other departments may be established by the Board of Regents whenever, in the judgment of said Board, they may be needed. It may be stated in this connection, that the Polytechnic Department, after an exper- iment of two years, was abandoned. , T ' The University, as constituted under the provisions of its present charter, now includes the College of Liberal Arts, the Academy, the Conservatory of Music, the Art Department, the Commercial School, the School of Pedagogy, and the School of Oratory and Art of Expression. The institution has been fortunate in coming into possession of quite a respectable col- lection of geological, mineralogical, and other valuable specimens of the physical world. The venerable Rev. R. Good, D. Sc., during his long service as Professor of the Natural Sciences, had succeeded in collecting a large number of these curiosities. Friends and patrons of the institution had kindly presented others. But, during the year 1890 two large and valuable museums were added to the collection by Revs. Drs. I. I. Swander and John Kost. To house and properly exhibit the enlarged museum it became necessary to erect a special building This was accomplished during the year 1893, when a neat and attractive structure was erected on the campus, north by east of the old college building. The build- ing was so constructed at the same time as to include a large' and commodious room for gymnasium purposes, Which, in order to keep pace with modern educational facilities, had become a necessityi, During the following year, through the munificent generosity of Regent Qnow President of the Boardj Geo. F. Bareis, Esq., of Canal Winchester, Ohio, the gymnasium was excellently furnished with suitable apparatus for the accommodation of the students in physical training. Since that date a Physical Director has been employed, and regular instruction has been given in this important branch of education. Heidelberg has been fortunate in having literary organizations among the students, which, in every well-equipped college, or university, prove such a valuable factor in acquir- ing a knowledge of parliamentary law, and in developing the native powers of the soul in elocution and oratory. The Excelsior Literary Society was organized in ISSIQ The Heidelberg Literary Society in 1859. These societies have been from the start, for the benefit of gentlemen students only of the collegiate department. On the 14th of March last the Heidelberg Society celebrated its forty-iirst anniversary by publicly rendering a literary program in Rickly Chapel, and on the 23d of March the Excelsior Society celebrated its forty-ninth anniversary with a literary program in said chapel. The Hesperian Literary Society for ladies only, who are students in the institution, was organized April 3d, 1889. Each of the above named societies has a large and beautifully furnished hall on the third floor of tl1e new University building. Mention should also be made that among the gentle- men students of the Academy an organization known as The lfVashington Irving Literary Society has, for some years, been successfully maintained. The literary societies ofthe institution have been important factors in promoting the intellectual growth of their members, and in fostering ability in debate and public speaking. Those, who have been active members, since leaving the institution have proven their edi- cient training in filling varied important and responsible positions in life. On the lists of their honorary membership may be found many of the leading literary men and women of the country. On April 14111, 1881, a society was organized by the students themselves and entitled The Young People's Christian Association of Heidelberg College, which had for its main purpose the fostering of Christian principles, and the development of Christian life not only among its own members, but among the student body. On February 16, 1882, by the adoption ofthe constitution of the State College Young Men's Christian Association, the above mentioned Young People's Christian Association was merged into the present organiza- tion known as the HY. M. C. A. of Heidelberg. On the erection of the new college build- ing, the Board of Regents generously allotted rooms on the second Hoor of said building for the use of the Association. These rooms have been handsomely furnished by the Associa- tion, and are used by it in its weekly meetings. In 1886, the Y, NV. C. A. of Heidelberg University was organized. This organization also holds weekly meetings. The influence exerted by these Chris- tian Associations among the student body for Christ and His Church, has been very great. Many a student through their guidance and help has here learned the way of salvationf, Many who have been exposed to temptation, through the counsel and fellowship of the Associations have been protected against spiritual foes, the weak have been strengthened: the desponding have been encouraged-g and characters have been built up in the Christian life. The Authorities of the institution recognize the inestimable value of these Christian Associations in helping to carry forward the responsible work of Christian Education. Mention must also be made of the founding of several Prizes as incentives to the stu- dents of the institution for the cultivation of the graces of English composition, rhetoric and oratory. In 1888 the Rev. Madison C. Peters, D. D., then of Philadelphia, Pa., generously offered to give annually 320 in gold to the student of the graduating class having the best production as to matter and manner, whether read or spoken, whereupon the Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting of said year, accepted the offer and established the Prize, known as The Madison C. Peters Prizef' In 1893 a slight modification, with the consent of the founder, was made in the conditions required for awarding this Prize. The privi- -lege of contesting for it was changed from the Senior to the junior Class, and in this way the occasion known as the junior Contest for the Madison C. Peters Prize, came to be introduced into the exercises of commencement week. The Scott F. Hershey Prize of 510 in gold was established in 1895 by the Rev. Scott F. Hershey, Ph. D., LL. D., of Boston, Mass., an alumnus of the class of 1875. This Prize is awarded to that member of the Heidelberg Literary Society, whose standing in the Orator- ical Contest of this Society is tl1e highest when judged from the standpoint of thought and delivery. The contest is held in Rickly Chapel in December of each year. The Thomas F. Keller Prize has been established by Dr. Thomas F. Keller, of Tiflin, an alumnus of the class of 1876. It is composed of two parts, gI5 and EIO in gold, to be awarded to the two members of the Freshman Class who have made the highest and second highest grades respectively in English composition for that year. The first class graduated by the institution was the class of 1854, consisting of two mem- bers, both of whom pursued the Scientific Courseu of instruction. One of these is still living, the Rev. Geo. Z. Mechling, A. M., of Hamilton, Ohio. The earliest graduates in the Classical Course were of the class of 1856: Rev. William H. Fenneman, D. D., of Hamilton, Ohio, and Charles H. Winters, deceased. Since 1854 a class has been graduated each year, with the single exception of the year 1863, when on account of the disturbance of the country by the Civil VVar no class was sent out. Up to this date the Alumni of the institution numbers 493, distributed among the several courses of instruction as follows:- in the Classical Course, 277,SClS1'l'Ell lC, 181, Philosophical, 15, a11d Literary, zo. The smallest class graduated was that of 1864, which consisted of one student, the largest class sent out was that of 1891, which numbered thirty members, twenty-Eve gentlemen, Rlld five ladies. These Alumni are all graduates of the collegiate department: of whom 43,1 are still living, and sixty-two are deceased. The Alumni of the other departments number twenty-two, and the grand total for all the departments of the University aggregates 515. This result is quite a favorable showing of the work accomplished by the institution during its fifty years of existence. Many of these Alumni are Hlling responsible positions, and are doing noble service for humanity in the various walks of life. Many of them are reflecting honor on their Alma Mater in the learned professions of the Ministry of the Gospel, the Law, Medicine, and in the profession of Teaching, while many others are doing the same along lines of mercantile work. The best advertisement that a college, or a university, can possibly have, lies in the character of the men and women who go forth from its training capable of doing their work wel! in whatever sphere of life a guiding Providence may lead them. The several Presidents of the College of Liberal Arts during the fifty years of the event- ful history of the institution have been as follows, with their respective periods of service: S. S. Rickly, Esq., 1850: Rev. E. V. Gerhart, D. D., LL. D., 1850-553 Rev. Moses Kieffer, D. D., 1855-63, Rev. Geo. W. Aughinbaugh, D. D., 1863-64, Rev. Geo. W. Williard, D. D., LL. D., 1866-90, and the present incumbent, Rev. J. A. Peters, who was formally inaugura- ted june 16th, 1891. It is a fact worthy of recognition that all of the above list of Presidents are still living except the third named, of whom it seems becoming, in this connection, to place upon record a brief obituary notice. Rev. Moses Kieffer, D. D., was born in Franklin Co., Pa., May 5th, ISI4. He grad- uated from Marshall College in 1838, and from the Theological Seminary at Mercersburg, Pa., in I839. He was ordained to the Gospel Ministry in the same year. He served as Professor of Theology in Heidelberg Theological Seminary from 1855 to 1867, and as Pres- ident of Heidelberg College as above mentioned. He departed this life at Sandusky, Ohio, on February 3, 1888, aged 73 years, 8 months, and 28 days. His mortal remains lie inter- red in Green Lawn Cemetery near this city. After the change of charter, merging the college into a University, under the articles of incorporation it became necessary to elect a Chancellor, Rev. Dr. john Kost was elect- ed in 1890 as the first incumbent of this oHice and was duly inaugurated at the Commence- ment Exercises of the said year. He resigned the oiiice at the annual meeting of the Board of Regents in 1891. In 1894 Rev. Lewis H. Kefauver, D. D., was duly elected as Acting Chancellor and continued to serve in this capacity until 1899. On February 13, IQOO, at a special meeting of the Board of Regents, the Rev. S. C. Goss, D. D., of Wadsworth, Ohio, was unanimously chosen to till this high and responsible office, and was duly inaugurated by appointment of the Board, at the opening of the Spring Term, March 28, IQO0. Whilst the space allotted for this historical sketch forbids the possibility of mentioning all the teachers who have served the College and University, yet it seems fitting to place upon record appreciation of several names of persons who served the institution long and well. Rev. Jeremiah H. Good, D. D., was one of the original teachers and may be regarded as one of the founders of Heidelberg College. He was born in Berks Co., Pa., November 22d, 1822, graduated with highest honor of his class from Marshall College in 1842, and from the Theological Seminary at Mercersburg, Pa., in 1846. He was ordained to the Gospel Ministry in the same year, and served as the Editor of the XVestern Mission- ary from 1848 to 1853. He served as Professor of Mathematics in this institution from ISSO to 18683 he also served as Professor of Dogmatic and Practical Theology in Heidelberg Theological Seminary from 1868 to 1888. He was gifted, scholarly, extensively informed, a ready writer, genial in manners, and held in high esteem throughout the church. He departed this life january 25, 1888, aged 65 years, 2 months, and 3 days. The venerable Rev. Reuben Good, D. Sc., who was also one of the original teachers, and founders,-who served the institution well in The days of small things, still tarries among us to give us his benediction and counsel. His time of service in the professorship of Natural Sciences extended from 1850 to 1890, when the Board reluctantly accepted his resignation. Of the present teaching force, the member of the faculty who has been longest in the service of the institution is Prof. Christian Hornung, A. M., who was elected to the chair of Mathematics in the year 1869. Closely identified for many years with the interests of Heidelberg, although not a teacher, mention rnust also be made of Elder Henry Leonard of Basil, Ohio. He was born of Swiss parentage in Fairfield County, Ohio, February 14, 1812. In 1857 he was elected by the Board of Trustees as Hthe nnancial and traveling Agent of the institution. Regard- ing his election as a Call from God, he relinquished a lucrative mercantile business which he had pursued for twenty-eight years in the town of Basil, and entered upon his arduous labors in the service of the institution. When he began his agency in 1857, the nuances of the College were in a very distressed condition, but, as Rev. Dr. Williard, in his History of Heidelberg College observes, he persevered in it in the face of all the diffi- culties with which he had to contend, sometimes hoping against hope. His success was more than he, or the friends of the College, could have anticipated, thus ailording a con- spicuous example of what perseverence and personal effort can do. By the peculiar methods which he employed in l1is work, he became known throughout the Church as The Fisherman. He was largely instrumental in increasing the Endowment Fund, and in gathering the funds for the erection of the new University building. This building may be regarded as a monument of the indefatigable labors of two men: The Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Wil- liard, the fifth President of the College, and The Fisherman, Henry Leonard He Hlled his office during thirty-two years, and did his work well. On the 7th of December, 1889, he fell asleep in jesus in the 78th year of his age, and now rests from his labors. His mem- ory in the noble work of Christian education is blessed! In the annals of the educational work in the State of Ohio, Heidelberg is also memor- able in being among the earliest institutions which have pursued their work along the line of co-education of the sexes. From the very beginning, the privileges of the institution have been open to women as Well as men. At first, doubtless, the plan was regarded as an experiment, but Hfty years of history has conclusively shown that co-education, when properly guarded is fruitful of the noblest results in the training of the youth of our land for usefulness in the Church and State. One of the main purposes of the fathers in founding the institution, as may be gathered from the early minutes of the Synod of the Reformed Church in Ohio, and the adjacent States, was to educate a Ministry of the Gospel for the service of the Christian Church Hence, Heidelberg University, and Heidelberg Theological Seminary have, in their history, been closely allied. They have carried forward their respective lines of work as if they were one institution, and their prime object conjointly has, in a large degree, been to pro- vide the Church with a ministry adequate to its Wants. That these institutions have suc- ceeded in doing this peculiar work, which was expected of them, is apparent from the large number of Christian Ministers in the Reformed Church, and in other Christian denomina- tions, who have been reared and educated under their guiding iniiuences. The Work which the institutions have accomplished in the interest of the Church alone has more than com- pensated for all the labor and money expended in their founding and maintenance. These Alumni in the ranks of the Christian clergy have dO11S, and are to-day doing, a noble work for Christ and His Church. For the record which has been made during the history of fifty years, the friends and patrons of Heidelberg University, have great reason for gratitude to Almighty God, for His special guidance and blessing in this great work of Christian education. The denomina- tional College still continues to have a mission in a Christian land, and that mission is to train our young manhood and young womanhood for complete living. May the Semi- Centennial Festival of Heidelberg, therefore, be marked by a deeper appreciation, on the part of the Church, which has founded the institution, and sustained it during these years of the important Work already accomplished, and for the future may the growing needs of the institution be bountifnlly supplied! A greater Heidelberg is possible only as the endowment of the institution is increased so that the greatly needed facilities for the responsible work may be enlarged. As the years pass, the scope and purpose of higher education is continually expanding. The intellectual, the moral, the aesthetic, and the spiritual, or religious, possessions of the ages constitute the rightful inheritance of every young man and young woman. They have the same right to these possessions as they have to their physical inheritance, and unless they demand them, toil for them, and win them, they are deprived of by far the nobler part of their birthright. The purpose of higher education is no less than that expressed by the Great Teacher of men, that men and women might have life. and that they might have it more abundantly. 'Tis life-whereof our nerves are scant, O life, not death, for which we punt. More life and fuller that I want. -DR. 1. A. PETERS. iii! Tnatruritora at Daiuilallbarg. 4 E. V.

H. Good and his brother, Rev. R. Good. Of the condition of things during the first year I know absolutely noth- ing, except that it was the day of small thingst' to Heidelberg. I11 September, ISSI, at the opening of the fall term, I entered the institution as a student. The college was then but a yearling, and it was that in all that, that term indicates. It was on a bright Saturday morning when I reached Tiffin City, coming up from Bellevue, I looked out at the car window to get a glimpse of the college building, but, alas! like Enoch of old, It was not.', Every- thing in connection with Heidelberg was in a rudi- mentary state. No college building, no students' home, and no boarding house. No, there was abso- lutely nothing for the comfort or convenience of the student. The motto seemed to be Help Yourself to what there is. After surveying the ground fully, as I thought, and considering the prospects for the future, I became thoroughly discouraged at the condition of things at Heidelberg. On the following Wednesday evening my mind was fully made up to leave Tifhn for Delaware, Ohio, and enter the Wesleyan University. On Thursday morning my trunk was packed and I was awaiting the arrival of the old stage coach that then run from Fremont to Columbus by way of Tiffin, Upper Sandusky, and Delaware. An hour before the arrival of the coach, Rev. E. V. Gerhart, who had been informed of my intentions, called in, and changed the course of Providence for me. In 1851 and up to 1853 the College occupied three or four rooms on third floor of Commercial Row, a three-story building on Washington Street. At this time three men had entire control of the work. During the preceding year the Rev. E. V. Gerhart had been adcled to the corps of professors and was the President of the institution. He was a grand man and highly esteemed by all the students. In 1854 he left Heidelberg College for the East. In his departure we felt that the institution suffered an irreparable loss. The other two professors were what their name indicates-Good-the right men in the right place. These three men rocked the cradle of Heidelberg College in its infancy, and when we consider the cradle itself, it seems marvelous that the child lived. Tiiiin was a city only in name. It numbered probably from 2,500 to 3,000 inhabitants, but extended over a territory large enough to accommodate a population of 10,000 or 15,o00. In spring and fall its streets were almost impassable-a sea of mud. An old, rickety, covered, wooden bridge spanned Sandusky River at the terminus of Washington Street. This was afterwards replaced by a shaky suspension bridge, inferior to the former. Among the iner class of buildings were the Shawhan House, Shawhan Block and Shawhan residence. It EIDELBERG COLLEGE was opened in Octo- had eight churches. The Episcopal Methodist, First Reformed and Protestant Methodist were in the lead inuthe order named. The Fire Department consisted in a Hand Fire Engine, a chief, and a few volunteer firemen. One night about ten o'clock, a ire occurred in an old tannery, on the West Side, near the upper bridge. A number of students were among the first at the fire. The volunteer force soon gave way and the bystanders were pressed into service, and these were mostly students. The chief kept us at the engine until the nre was under control, notwithstanding the perspiration pouring. An explanation was never given nor asked, but suspicions were rife. After occupying the new college building another fire occurred on the same street at the west end. Again a number of students were on the ground, but those of us who were compelled to volunteer at the former ire kept at a distance of about fifty yards. This fire was in a beer saloon, and was greatly enjoyed by some who said within themselves, So mote it be with all. In the spring of 1852 came the dawning of a brighter day. The foundation walls of the new Cnow oldj building began to appear above ground, and the time for the laying of the corner-stone came. A large number of people gathered at the appointed time and place. The I-Ion. Samuel F. Cary, of Cincinnati, was the speaker on the occasion, and delivered a most excellent address. Mr. Cary is the only surviving brother of the Misses Alice and Phoebe Cary, of poetical fame, both of whom died in 1871. He resides in the old homestead near Cincinnati. 'Within the last six months I have frequently passed the place, and in every instance my mind unconsciously reverted to the scene on College Hill forty-eight years ago. The Hon. Samuel F. Cary was then in his prime. When in 1853 the school in Commercial Row l' was transferred to the new building, we began to realize that Heidelberg College had come to stay. Everything put on new life in the different departments and moved along in the right direction, and the student's life became bearable, pleasant, desirable, hopeful and happy. The social life of students in Commercial Row was very unsatisfactory. The students from abroad and those of the city never afiiliated. On College Hill social life had greatly improved. All classes seemed to affiliate, but even there a bitter feud existed between the college and town boys, which not only threatened a breach of the peace, but the destruction of life. One night the town boys threatened to storm the College Building. The college boys, barricaded on the third floor of the building, heavily armed with Hint lock horse pistols eighteen inches in length, loaded to the muzzle with buck shot, awaited their coming. The clash of arms never came. The moral standard of the students in those days was of a high order. Nearly all were -either members of some church or reared in a Christian family. There was, however, one exception to this rule. It was a boy about fourteen years of age, who lived south of the city. He was like Bret Harte's Ah-Sin, that for ways that are dark, and for tricks that are vain, he was peculiar. One day he entered a room during the owner's absence and appro- priated a watch he found there. The theft was discovered and the faculty decided on a public reprimand, which was to take place the next morning after devotional exercises. At the appointed time he was called to the front to receive the reprimand. As he stood there, unusually plump, with a bland smile on his face, we felt that the reprimand had entirely failed of its reformative object. As we passed out of the room, he came up to me and said, I didn't know the meaning of reprimand. I thought it meant a good flogging, so I put a .sheep-skin on my back. His conscience lay apparently near the surface-in the untanned hide on his backg and it is said: His life work has been seeking 'for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain.' My only class-mate was Miss Margaret ff. Schelman, of Covington, Ky., who died a few months after we graduated. She was a modest, bright, accomplished, noble Christian woman. God bless Heidelberg. The War Decade. FLORENCE CRONISE, '65. Sim U oo. f, T was in the fall of 1860, that the writer first Q 9 entered Heidelberg College, and was enrolled on the list of her students. She found herself, so far as other young women were concerned, solitary and alone, the only apparently practi- cally inclined apostle of co-education to be found, at that time in the country 'round, though many had preceded and many followed her, but at this time, the Fall Term of 1850, no other girl attended the institution. Here I found less than one hundred students. Five worthy Seniors trod the upper air clothed in an atmosphere of solemn, mysterious and unapproachable wisdom. Four Juniors, seven Soph- omores and a still larger number of Freshmen formed the regular classes. The rest of the roll call made up the body of irregulars and preps The Senior Class of that year was composed of air, George T. Cost, john W. Cramer, Daniel D. Dubbs and Joseph A. Keller,- spach, Cramer, Goss, C our now most worthy and honored Chancellorj Knepper 1, formed the junior Class. Then came Reilholz and Ke11er,'Heller and Smith, ip, Stepler and White maintained the usual class reputation for sophomoric wisdom. teaching corps of Heidelberg in I86O was composed of Rev. Moses Kieffer, Presi- v. Jeremiah H, Good, holding the Chair of Mathematics, Rev. Reuben Good, that eg Dr. Higbee filling the Chair of Latin and Greek. This last named professor left ear and his Chair was filled by Professor john B. Keiffer, now the Greek Professor l M. 'Twas but a year or two till Rev. Herman Rust came to fill the Chair of Ger- mese few made up the staff of teachers, but though few they formed a strong force, graduates of the early sixties have ever been glad to acknowledge their indebted- lem for the thoroughness of their teachings. All were men of liberal education and nt, giving their best for the laying of the foundation of the Heidelberg of today. is but a short time after this that the Civil War broke out, and there came the call teers-a call to which many of our brave boys responded-how many I am unable it well I know that no! one of the Sophomore Class, and but one of the Freshmen , to pursue their College Course. Some of them never returned from the front, but their lives at the call of their country. Many came back sick and wounded, some bs left on the Surgeon's table after the battle was fought, others with disease fixed rn for life. Not one came back with the unimpaired strength with which he had Lh. So intense was this feeling of patriotism that in 1863, none was left to gradu- 364, but one, and in 1865, but four, two of whom were women. Oh, how well does C19 ks the writer remember that day in '63, when several of our youngest boys, not over sixteen, and among whom were john Haye Ridgely, Frederick Mayer, and others who donned the blue and marched away to the music of the drum and life to do duty for their country. These were serious days for Heidelberg, but our dear Alma Mater, then in her youth held bravely on, bidding God speed to those going, and tenderly caring for those remaining. After the war was over and before the decade came to a close, she found herself again on a rapid increase in the number of students, and prospects again looking bright. At this time the Literary Societies were the Excelsior, The Heidelberg Literary and the Goethean. The first named, being the oldest, held itself aloof with an air of apparent superiority, maintaining a dignity and reserve worthy of its maturity. The youngest society, the members of which we were wont to call The I-Ieidelbergersf' was made of a different spirited class of students. They seemed more lively, energetic and pushing, and they kept up a lively scrimmage at times in the attempt of seizure of new students. Both had their friends, and both grew and flourished. The Goethean Society was composed chiefly of the German students. Of this society but little was known, for they kept closed doors, and never did the girls of the institution get so much as a peep into the smoky atmosphere of their hall, or hear one syllable of their mystical philosophy. 'We called them dull, heavy and stupid. It may be the grapes were sour. As for the Excelsior and Heidelberg, they oft invited us to a display of their forensic powers of thought and expression. These Fridayjevenings were red letter dates for us. Some among us preferred the nervous, energetic style of the younger society, to the digni- fied manner of debating indulged in by the elder. Full well do I recall the eloquence and oratorical display of such young men as I. B. Shoemaker, Upton F. Cramer, S. C. Goss, C. O. Knepper, and many other of these early students in Excelsior Hall,-while such men as Geo. VV. Bachman, Samuel B. Yockey and others gave to the younger society a reputa- tion for vigor, strength and ability of which they were, and had a right to be, exceeding proud. These societies at this time had each its own library, separate and apart, stowed away in some small room in the building. The young women of the institution, whose numbers had grown to a goodly list, were too new to their freedom of thought to grasp the fact that they too might form a society. It remained for later years for some strong spirits to bring about the formation of the Hesperians.,' No praise is too great for these leaders in this line, and to them I do honor. Such was the internal workings of Heidelberg. I could dwell long and lovingly on those days, and could recount many a sad as well as many a happy tale of student life did space permit, but if I am to say anything about the external Heidelberg I must be about it, lest the gavel fall before I can recall the old worm fence which defined the limits of the campus on the East and South, while a more pretentious board fence stretched along the North and West. The old stilesl-one to the North and one to the West, saved us from having to climb the fence. The one brick building, now known as The Dorm, stood about the middle of the campus-a huge pile of wood to the south of it. Here at this wood pile might oft be seen the great country wagon unloading a bed, a chair, a table, a little old stove and sundry pots, kettles and pans-the house-keeping outfit for our boy who is going to college. There could we curious ones see the hams, potatoes, flour, apple- butter, dried fruit, Sac., 8Lc., which many a loving and ambitious mother put up for that boy. And our boy went into this college, and he came out into the World, and if you would know what foundation was then and there laid for his future, scan old I-Ieidelberg's list of Alumni, and you will there learn just what a grand work was being done by our dearly loved mother. Out on the campus were young ever-greens, maples and shrubs, now grown to great trees. In the beginning but one little scrubby thorn tree held on to life,-the little thorn tree is still there-not big enough for us to carve our names upon it, tho' it has carved its memory deep down in our hearts. A How often, oh how often, in those days have I glanced out onto this scene from my desk at the second window from the North-west corner of the old building, on the North side. How often, oh how often, have I dreamed of those happy days-and in looking back over the struggles of the intervening thirty-five years, I can but repeat, Happy, happy days, when a student at old Heidelberg. The Period of the Seventies. DR. J. B. RUST, '77, H I-IE ten years extending from 1870 to 1880, ' '. Tlmil as far aswe can recall them in .connection mn G - D dm with Heidelberg College, were in the main i W, - - ml, quiet and uneventful. Nothing of an I epochal character at all visible to the eye, -' was accomplished in the life of the Insti- tution during those years. After the Summer vacation we always missed the presence of the students who had been graduated in the preceding june, and perhaps all the more gladly welcomed those who returned to resume their duties in the sacred halls of learning. At the open- ing of every new term old text-books were exchanged, or sold at a liberal discount to under-classmen, or with a sigh put permanently upon the shelf, to give place to the new. just as had been the practice in former years, and as is the custom now, Caesar, Xenophon and Virgil were followed in turn by Homer, Cicero, Sophocles and Plato. Naturalists, mathematicians, historians, philosophers, and theologians year after year played the roles assigned them upon the stage of the college curriculum. As is the case now, so then, one class pressed hard upon another in the difficult but inspiring march toward the summit of Parnassus, which zealous, truth-loving, and ambitious students in every age and in any clime blessed with books and schools and colleges, ever see before them, but whose last leagues of ascent only a chosen few in the history of letters have the fortune to cover. There are many things which we lacked and of which we felt the need. We longed to be delivered from the use of the hand-bell which was rung at the West door of the college to announce the chapel hour in the morning and to mark the recitation periods during the day. We often wished that a tower had been erected in connection with the old hall and graced with a great bell, not only to call us to duty, but also to lend more dignity to our student vocation, and to create in the citizens of Tiffin a larger sense of respect for Alma Mater and the cause of higher education. The occasional lectures delivered by Dr. Reuben Good, and illustrated by apt and interesting experiments, led us to hope most keenly for a day when our kind and patient teacher in Natural Science would be made happy by a better equipment in the laboratory for the prosecution of his investigations and his Work of instruction. The same was true of astronomy, until Professor Hornung, after pursuing his purpose with unflagging zeal, finally announced that he had secured a fine telescope, seven feet in length, for use in the study of the stars. But the instrument was held to be so precious, and the students naturally revered it as much as did their teacher, that it could be brought from its hiding place only at long intervals. One who witnessed the scene will never forget the ten- derness and care with which Professor Hornung placed that telescope upon its tripod for the first time, and the honest pride with which he surveyed it and explained its uses before per- mission was granted the company of the elect to gaze at the mountains of the moon. 'Yes, our opportunities were somewhat narrow then as compared with the richer blessings of the present, and when in these times we chance to hear a passing murmur of discontent across the Way, We feel that this would not happen if the students of today could know by experi- ence how great were the obstacles with which both professors and students contended for lack of suliicient equipment even in the recent seventies. Moreover, neither in the college nor in the theological seminary was the teaching force as large as it is now. But our pro- fessors told us that while they deplored the want of better facilities and more specialization in instruction, they were sure that apparatus and equipment, however perfect these may be, cannot of themselves give anyone an education. They said that the machinery for mental training amounts to very little without personal effort, without attention, and constant, faithful, loving application. These suggestions were not lost. Hence, despite the limita- tions to which We were confined, creditable and enduring Work was done both by teachers and learners. Religiously, we think, conditions have greatly improved since then on the part of the student body. We had only the mid-week prayer-meeting in the chapel, and a Sabbath afternoon service regularly conducted in turn by a number of the professors, yet a large per- centage ofthe students exhibited a distaste for these privileges. Since then, through the influence of the Young Men's Christian Association and kindred organizations, a change for the better has been wrought. Nevertheless, in the seventies peace and harmony for the most part prevailed. The authorities of the institution commanded the respect which was due them. We were conservative then, and believed that our superiors not only possessed the ability, but had the right, as well, by virtue of their oflice, to map out the courses of study, to give counsel, and to administer rebuke. No one ever attempted in our day to apply the socialistic theory to educational interests. We were familiar with only two principles of action, obedience and disobedience, loyalty and disloyalty. Base-ball, croquet, and fishing in the Sandusky River were our leading out door sports Rev. E. H. Otting, of Warren, Ohio, was easily the champion Croquet player in our time. The jolliest, most amiable and forgiving man among us was Rev. C. M. Schaaf, of Prospect, Ohio. The Literary Societies then had their halls in the old building, and though maintaining a ceaseless but always friendly rivalry, they occasionally exchanged greetings and took counsel together. At that time Rev. M. F. Frank, Rev. I. B. Henry, I. H. Platt, Attorney, Rev F. I. Sauerber, judge Schaufelberger, Dr. E. D. Wettach, Rev. I. N. Bachman, Prof. Geo. E. Knepper, Dr D. J. Meese, Dr. J.

Steel, and others, belonging to the classes of 1873, '74, and 75, constituted the best body of clebaters, we dare say, who thus far have made the welkin ring from the society platforms of Heidelberg. Rev. Louis Grosenbaugh and Rev. F. I. Sauerber were the Achilles and Ulysses of the earlier seventies. We spoke of those years as moving in even tenor on their way, and that crisis or epoch were unknown. But beneath the surface of things there was action, perpetuated from the remoter past, and broadened now. Someone was thinking and planning and pressing for- ward to make a grander future for Heidelberg. The departed Henry Leonard, The Fish- erman, was in the prime of his usefulness. The churches of the Ohio Synod caught the enthusiasm of his appeal. The Alumni of the institution responded to the call. The hopes of the professers and students proved to have been prophetic. The decade of the seventies immediately preceded the erection of the new college building which now adorns the campus, and is acknowledged to be one of the inest ediices of its kind in the State. Built by the gifts of the people, belonging to the people within the bounds of the Ohio Synod, it will ever remain a monument to the energy, zeal, and organizing genius of Dr. George WV. XVilliard. V ' F E' ' 04 ozce rom the zgbfzes. GRACE FENNEMAN BURGER, '83. rf EVERAL things for which the class of '83 is memor- GJKQ able, present themselves, one of which was its 3-,N 5 matrimonial proclivities. Among those entering as C9315 Freshmen, were a husband and wife. Later, another married man entered. One morning in the junior year, we were semi-surprised to learn that two of our class- mates had wed tl1e evening before, but none of the others 0' seemed tempted to follow their example. The bridegroom, after continued ill-health, dying in the summer, left the bride to complete her course, a widow. In the Sophomore year, we received several additions from other colleges. One of these young men held advanced ideas on class meetings and ribbons. Accordingly, we organized, held class meetings, then an innovation in an under class, and adopted a class color, being the first to do so. 'tDark wine was the description of this color in the minute book. just before graduation, in order that we might have class colors, a committee of two ladies was appointed to select another that would harmonize with the one already chosen. After looking over what the dry goods store had to offer, shrimp pink was chosen, and enough of the two colors of ribbon bought to make twenty-one modest bows to be worn by the class of '83 on class day. Dark wine and shrimp pink must go down in history as the first colors selected and worn by any class in Heidelberg. Another advanced idea which this same person brought, was the burial of Livy. This author had worried us more than any other in the course, and we were glad to part company with him. So one afternoon after we were supposed to have mastered his history, a hole was dug in the campus, and we stood round while a supposedly appropriate ceremony was enacted, and Livy was interred. But some ghouls in a lower class that night dug him up. A few nights later, some friends in the class above us placed over the grave a large white paper monument suitably inscribed in Latin, The recollections of the recitations in the fmzg Frau 11011 Orleans, because they seemed less formal than the others, are especially pleasing. Occasionally during the half hour before this recitation, two of us would stroll through the campus. And it would sometimes happen that we would meet at the old rockery a brother and one not a brother, who would ask us to read certain passages, just to see whether your translations agree with ours. Although morally certain that they had never studied the lesson, we would accom- modate them and be rewarded-they being quicker at German than We-by hearing them recite as readily as we could after an hour's hard work. Both are now dignified professors. In the bright springtime, when nature beckoned all outdoors, merry parties tramped out the I. B, 81 W. QC. S. 81 CJ R. R. to Morrison Creek to gather wild flowers. The flowers were generally withered and thrown away before our return, but bright eyes and happy memories were carried back. One Good Friday afternoon, when the air and sunshine were perfect for a tramp, the boys carried a treat of oranges. Seated on the bank of the stream, we longed for the juicy fruit. Take care that you have the right end of the bag up, cried one of the girls as it was picked up rather recklessly. I have it all right. And to prove his Words, the young man gave the bag a shake, when away went the oranges, floating on the water. A general scramble! The precious fruit was rescued and soon eaten to preserve it from further accident. In winter Morrison Creek afforded good skating. Two students will never forget how they went out together one day and skated too near a log. When they reached town, no one would have supposed that they had been up to their necks in water, their frozen clothes looked dry on them. One glorious fall, our inclinations led us on nutting excursions in the woods beyond Morrison Creek. But the weather played us a trick the last time. Great drops of rain showered upon us just as we were sitting down to lunch. In our frantic efforts to secure shelter, the atoms of a rotten log were scattered all over our pumpkin pie-the first of the season. The young women of the class of '83 and a few others made a desperate attempt to resurrect and firmly establish the old Delphian Literary Society. A dingy room on the third floor, with a shockingly dusty carpet and a rusty stove, was about all that descended to us from the old Society. The remnants of its library we were never able to collect, Creton lambrequins to the large bare windows were felt to be an absolute necessity. To pay for these and some other improvements, and to start a library fund, an oyster supper was given in City Hall, which our immediate friends patronized liberally. Every Friday afternoon after chapel, a few faithful ones would repair to this cheerless room to hold liter- ary and business meetings, from which we werefnot frightened even when one day we found a straw-stuffed man placed there by some brother students. Twice the Delphians gave public meetings in the chapel, and felt some encouragement from these efforts. But no argument or coaxing could persuade the young women of the college in general, of the desirability of a ladies' society. So once more the Society died for want of members, but not until the women of '83, graduated. None of the advancements of Heidelberg have interested us more than the Hrm estab- lishment of a ladies' literary society, even if the old name has given way to another. Che Ninn titties at lieidelbergo REV. J. E. HARTVIAN, '96. J HIS is reminiscence-not history. It may seem Ag a matter of presumption to look back upon G MN events so recent in the light of reminiscence. -P gpm 5 And yet, past years are so completely out of vi-'A N . ,Q 'fi 1 K grasp, so far removed from our present real, . , that there remains no other connection that so fully sat- .' isiies us as simple memory. We chronicle no history, because the demands for fact and accuracy of historical 'L r statement are too exacting, too complicated, and too far beyond the purpose of the present sketch. - VVhen the class of '96 appeared as Freshmen, remnants of the classes of '90, '91, and '92, were still lingering in a look of satisfaction not quite free of pride, and to assume the dignities which become only the Senior- and his counterpart, the Soph. In fact, while '96 was pressing spring-beauties, ,93 was screaming com- mencement orations, which also were beauties after their kind. At the same season a few embryonic century graduates were starting to sprout, down in the obscurities of the Academy sub-soil. We took several specimens to the labora- tory, made a minute examination of them, and were much gratified to pronounce them, afteral, exceedingly promising. If, in the estimation of the double-zeros, this forecast has been quite realized, they will please credit to the ninty-sixers the value of a favorable prophesy. It is evident that, coming in contact thus with the two extremes of the ninties, the class of '96 naturally found its place close to the heart of the decade. And if the ninty- livers can interpret this statement as an unguarded compliment, they are welcome to the distinction. It is rather strange to note that as our past filters downward thro the years, the unpleas- antnesses are lost and forgotten, and that which we remember pertains mostly to such scenes and events as we are delighted to dote upon. As we look back to college days they appear as a dream-picture without shadows. If we consider Livy, at whose billionth burial far-famed Bock nearly broke someone's back with a plankg or the task of '92 which dragged a rock from the depths of Liberty Street to adornQ?J the campus ever since, or Patsy's midnight search thro all the sacred precincts of the Dorm for the contents of his room which had mysteriously vacated, or the tumultuous reception of the new presidentg-these and many similar occurences,-if there ever was any shadow about them, it has long since faded lamentably away. It was in the early ninties that the popularity and notoriety of the Hedges ranch suc- cumbed, and interest began, more and more, to center in the Dorm which then was still clad in its white hypocricy, not yet having assumed the blood-color which now so well expresses the nature of its past history and its present possibilities. In ,93 the Aurora iirst appeared. the Seminary. The class of '93 was beginning to wear 'It was a bold venture, but it succeeded. In those primitive days faculty-censorship was exceedingly rigorousg it frequently pricked the most ludicrous inflations and oppressed the faithful editor until ambition became indignation. The class of '95 surmounted prestige in the wearing of Oxford caps to chapel service one morning and on several rare occassions afterward. '96 carried the matter to its first extreme by donning both cap and gown during its commencement. To the ninties old Heidelberg will be forever obligated for her yell -that rhythmic effusion of gibberish that shall remain the agony of Athletic or Oratorical enthusiasm so long as loyal throats are not choked with hoarseness or strangled with defeat. Memory fails to tell who composed the brilliant committee that formulated tt Kilikilikf' But, lo! they have their reward. To this period also Heidelberg owes the college journal, Kilikilik -once a monthly, now a semi-monthly periodical, controlled by the three. Literary societies. The gymnasium is a product of the ninties. Well we remember the cold morning when the first shovel dipped into the tennis-court of the campus to find foundation for the comely building that has become such a necessity to Heidelberg's life. And that clear spring morning when the carpenter fell from rafter to floor, mangled and bleeding and dying, is deeply impressed upon us as the day of sacrince-the blood-sprinkling of our new treasure. During these years also came into popularity the boarding clubs, which have since rnonopolized the eating establishments of the institution. The first was the Farmers Club -which like all first attempts was rather an object of jeering or sympathy than of congratulation. Then arose the Beanies which endured thro several school years, being finally absorbed by the numerous other clubs that soon sprang up. Before the day of clubs, however, Mrs Baker's was the only place to be found at tableg to the excellence of that fare many survive the after-time to bear witness. In '95 the Oratorical association, of which Heidelberg is still a part, was organized in the city of Columbus. jack Bowman Worthily represented Hei- delberg in the first state contest which was enthusiastically held in Rickly chapel. In those days the trickster had almost fosilizedg yet a freak occasionally advanced from the former Geologic strata and wrought mischief on the higher orders of later days. Hered- itary stories of hero-gallantry were transmitted from the Williard regime to sweeten the tem- per of loathsome inactivity about a lazy fire ofa Saturday night. Then the L' ghost walkedf' and presently became the inspiration of a new enterprise. This L' new U enterprise usually expressed itself by means of a convenient janitor, an open window, and a pail of water, or it may have been the toilsome transference of chapel chairs to attic-and back again at faculty expense: or, possibly, the printing and distribution of monotonous posters-the brainless products of disgruntled vengeance, or, the removal of the tapper from the bellg or, room- stackingg or numberless other thousand-times repeated indignities that lacked all point and purpose beyond a hidden laugh or an unwelcome blush. The dernerit also began to be lost in the obscurities of a passing discipline, tho, as occasion arose, the heat of a moment might resurrect the fallen terrors by the tens and twenties. Zemi's goose-eggs continued to a later day as the degenerate and rather impotent sur- vivals of the primitive demerits. The library was a tree of good and evil. It was a proper place to beg-that is, to be STILLQ an enclosure of temptation, made attractive for the purpose of meeting mutelyg a spot where Cupid dreamed by compulsion:-'t Tell me with your eyes -because all tongues were manacled and every ear as deaf as Caesar's bust. Such was the intention-and such the effort of authorityg but nothing more seriously, because the temptation was determinedly and irresistibly omnipotent. Between the religious life of Heidelberg and the success of her discipline there was a vital interaction. It may be questionable to some minds whether compulsory measures in mat- ters religious be expedient or not. Yet there was a spirit in the institution that acted mightily upon the ethics and in favor of the reputed excellence of the discipline. Very rare were the expulsions or suspensions,-and then only in the most aggravated cases. Even as concerned certain of these there was an unexpressed remonstrauce on the part of students who considered that a wise clemency would have been more potent for good, The bold determination of the authorities in opposition to the introduction of the Greek letter societies forever established the unquestionable right of rule for those supposed to be in control. This was the most serious difficulty in the late history of the school. The scar was deepg but it has healed, and there is no doubt that Heidelberg survives strong and beautiful now, because she resisted bitterly then. The social life was also closely related to the religious activities. The Christian associa- tions, besides their term-socials, also provided the lecture-courses which have become an indispensable characteristic of Heidelberg, and a decided opportunity for the community at large. The semi-weekly meetings for worship were appreciated by many, and counted to be as important as any recitation on the schedule. The petty rivalries common to student relationships were largely lost in the general religious interest. Heidelberg was growingg almost every force operating was a vital force-and under- neath the Whole was the sure foundation of religion. As we look back to those days, it is the spirit of her reverence for the Divine that most impresses us. And often in the face of grave difficulties, with perplexity about and darkness ahead, we are startled into energy and borne forward to victory by the memory of teachings and induences that wrought upon us during the ninties at Heidelberg,-and which we dreamed long since to have forever forgotten. 0Q'Q,Q M.

LL year the faculty, students, and friends of Heidelberg awaited with anxiety the election of a Chancellor by the Board. of Regents. The announcement that Rev. Sebastian C. Goss, D. D., had been chosen to fill that important position, was received with universal approval, and, at once, displaced former solicitude by a trustful hope of a prosperous future. The congregation at Wadsworth, Ohio, which he had served continu- ously for a period of thirty-five years, reluctantly accepted his resignation, to enable him to assume the new responsibilities entrusted to him. He was installed into oiiice on the evening of Wednesday, March 28. The difficulties confronting the institution at this time are by no means small. The endowment fund has become insufficient, and the usefulness of the institution suffers pro- portionately. Students at Heidelberg are not dissatisfied, but yet they are conscious of a lack of many advantages. If the University is worthy to exist, let us make its existence felt by making it a live, aggressive and progressive institution. Every assistance given to it by the church will redound fourfold in its influence for good. It is sincerely hoped that Dr. Goss, in his efforts to bring about such conditions, may meet with the greatest possible encouragement and co-operation on the part of the students, the city, and the church. Welcome to the new Chancellor, and may his labors in behalf of Heidelberg be rewarded with the utmost success! REV. REUBEN GOOD, A. M. A. B., Marshall College, 1842, A.

The structure which we have been building stands out above all others, as the finished product of the Nineteenth Century, as a beacon light to all wayfarers and seekers after knowledge. With steady hands, with willing hearts and with untiring efforts, we have labored together, putting each block of our edince in place and cementing them firmly with the spirit of love. We have placed in our edifice such blocks as perseverance, integrity, patriotism, philanthropy, love for the true and beautiful, love for God, and all virtues which we have found to be essential in the structure of human character. The aim and purpose of the class from the beginning has been to excel and it has succeeded admirably. Our determination to excel has been fully illustrated by our four years activity in the many enterprises of the students. Our men have been the star players of foot-ball and base-ball. They have been captains and coaches of teams, they have been leaders in all athletic sports. In the literary field, our members have been recognized as persons of rare ability. With pride, we refer to the Aurora of last year which has been recognized by all as one of the choicest treasures of wit, humor, originality and literature. Then again it is due to certain members of our class that our college paper has been revived, that its literary standard has been raised, that it has been made a bi-monthly paper instead of a monthly. It is to us, that our Alma Mater looks with highest honor and pride for originating the college pennant which shall forever Hoat from the pinnacles of our halls of learning, beckoning ambitious youth, thirsting for knowledge to 3 A fl Ee..,.f ' ' U g. 3 'IQ come and sit at her stool of learning. However active we have been in the realm of trickery, of athletics and of literature, we have not neglected the spiritual side of our education. Our members have been active in the Chris- tian Work of the University, furnishing its leaders and such members necessary for the success of Christian work. We cannot begin to enumerate all the successes which we have achieved in our college course. Ask us what we have done and we need but say, Look about you, our works, stand a never failing testimony to posterity of our achievements. HISTORIAN. I History of The Centuru Gloss.

With trembling hands, with unwilling hearts, with ever tiring efforts, we have labored hard to labor together, putting each block Q-headj of our edifice in place, and cementing them firmly together with contumelious paste. We have placed in our edifice such blocks as philogyny, mulierosity, puellanism, viridescence, and several old Auroras, all essential to its stability. The aim, object, purpose, and ultimate end of the class from the very start of its beginning,has been to excel, and it has succeeded miserably. Our determination to excel has been fully illustrated by our four years' activity in the many enterprises of the students. Our men have been the Qinvisiblej star players of foot-ball and baseball. They have been captains and coaches tWhew! this statement may be intended for hyperbole and not mendacity. The reader will please be liberal in his judgmentj of teams, they have been led in all athletic sports by other classmen. In the literary Field, our mem- bers have been recognized as persons of rare Qin the sense of scarce, scantj ability. With pride, we refer to the Aurora of 'last year which has been recognized by all as one of the choicest treasures of Wit, humor, originality, and literature, and, by the way, there are over a hundred copies left, so if you wish one, we shall be very glad to sell one to you for almost nothing. We believe in exchanging for equal values. Then again it is due to certain members of our class that our college paper has been revived, that its literary standard has been raised to heights Qhitherto insurmountable, where it rests -on the pinnacle of high and noble maternal bliss in peace and fellowship forever fathoming the depths of the ethereal realm and shattering the brazen throne of the tyranny of ages into the eternal perdition of everlasting oblivion, which dwells secure on the summits of the cliffsj where men stand in a garb of beauty 'neath the touching rays ofa glorious sunset to watch and admire the blessing of another receding day. Their hearts catch up the loveliness of nature and speak forth to the world the soothing benediction of a well-spent life, as if branded with coals from the altar of perpetual truth and justice, etc., etc. It is to us, that our Alma Mater looks with highest honor and pride for adopting that old custom of Ulfzeff colleges in having a pennant which shall forever float from the pinnacles of our halls of f6!l7'7ZZ'lZg', beckoning ambi- tious youth, thirsting for knowledge, to come and sit at her stool of learning, thereby quenching their thirst Qafter the manner of milkmaidsj. We have been so active in the realm of trickery, of athletics and of literature, that we have woefully neglected the spiritual side of our education. We cannot begin ffor lack of a beginningj to enumerate all the successes which we have achieved in our college course.

ISTORY does repeat itself This fact is clearly illustrated in the gf records of almost all classes. But, there must be something I to repeat, or there can be no repetition. It is evident, therefore, V that certain classes must originate while others merely imitate. g T The class of IQOI is one that originates. There are two rea- ! sons for this: first and most important, originality is a quality CQ immanent in the class, second, the scant supply of things worthy of imitation. The class cannot claim first place, chronologically, indeed, there would be little or no honor in that, but it does claim first place in all things noble and elevating. QNot the dynamite kindj. It is very fitting then, that this class should begin the new century, giving as it does, a new impetus to col- lege spirit, not in mischief and frivolity, but in gentlemanly conduct and zealous application to duty. The record of the class is teeming with glorious achievements. While yet Freshmen, its members were respected and honored by the higher classmen, and, in a few individual cases were even loved. The same high regard followed them through their Sophomore year, becoming more intense as time revealed their many admirable traits. In whatever field the various classes contested, they all went down in defeat before the sturdy Sophomores. In short, the class proved itself so worthy that the title, Brains of the Institution, was gratefully conferred upon them by their contemporaries. When the class arrived in juniordom, its ranks had become somewhat smaller. An eminent authority has claimed it as another instance of the Survival of the Fittestf' But, the class rejects this well-meant compli- ment as one which casts undue reflection upon those who once shared in its triumphs. Furthermore, it would not do for all the finest flowers to bloom in one garden, so some have been transplanted into other fields where their beauty appears the greater by contrast. The class of IQOI really marks an epoch in the history of Heidelberg. It isa significant fact that the faculty has been compelled to change the courses in the Collegiate Department, placing them upon a higher standard in conformity to the needs and abilities of the present Juniors. Of course this will make the work much more difficult for all future aspirants for the Bachelor's Degree at Heidelberg, but let them remember that vzhczi' guz' ftZfZ'Z'7l7',' and when they consider the extraordinary examples of perseverance left by the members of this class, they can take new courage and continue their march onward. Thus, then, the class would modestly lay claim to another honor, since in addition to cffeafivzg and exemplyjfzkzg, it also imparts a last requisite, INSPIRATION TO DO what should be done.

Ifsfory of Class of 1902. 475 ff O ATTEMPT to write a history will be made within the meager space allotted to this class. Such, indeed, would be impossible. Ill: S., Without any vanity or egotism we may say that, if an exhaustive history of this class were written in this volume, there would be very few of the year's ev: nts which would not be recorded. This is due to the fact that the Sophomores either have been at the bofiom of every important event or have constituted the majority of persons concerned therein. We shall content ourselves then with only a few observations on the year's doings ln the first place, we must note the sad depletion of our ranks. Of that large and spirited class of last year, only half remains. However, that ani mation and vivacity with which the members were so imbued and which they infused into the student-body, is yet present in the class and has manifested itself at various times throughout the year. It can also be said that the com- mon sense and good judgment which the class has always possessed prevented the committing of any indecorous or unseemly act. The relations of the class have been quite satisfactory. The students have been led to recognize the true worth of our class, and, with the exception of those who have been overcome by jealousy, have sought our friendship. Especially might we mention those QSeniorsj who have contracted severe cases of erotomany. Their sentiments may be expressed thus: Tell me not in mournful numbers, College life is full of pain 3 For I'm one whom love encumbers, And a Sophy heart 's my gain. For those who have been our unsuccessful rivals, we have nothing but sincere sympathy. We certainly do not hold them responsible for their actions. They are the victims of their own somnolence and the only encourage- ment we can give them is this, that, if they continue to strive as heretofore, they cannot fail to reach the goal so eagerly coveted-the realm of oblivion. From what has been said some might be led to think that we consider our class perfect and the only one in the institution, But such is not the case. We make no such idle claims. We have no 5oz'dz3-au! students nor can we call ourselves the brains of the institution. Remember that our motto is, E556 quam w2ie7'z', to be rather than to seem. Let us 'now consider each member of this famous class and what he says AIGLER. H Behold me now, I'm Allen G., I help to rule the library. BAK ER .

We, the members of the Class of 1902 of Heidelberg University, in order to form a more perfect union, to advance education, to promote a religious spirit, and to encourage sociability and class spirit among the members of this class do ordain and establish this Constitution. ART. II., VI. The duties of the Censor are to be present at all meetings and to open the door for all tardy members. ART. V. Read's rules of order shall be adopted as a parliamentary guide. MINUTES. Qlj Mr. Sneckenberger stated that it was the desire of the class that all doings be kept secret. Qzj A suggestion was made that all motions lost should not be recorded. Qgj Miss Goodman reported that said committee had several mottoes but that the committee were not satisfied with them. QQ Moved and seconded that a committee of five be appointed to con- sider the matter of denouncing the IQ'!zkz'!z7e,' to draw up resolutions of this, publishing such in the Argos and daily papers and also of withdrawing our subscriptions and that a meeting of the class be called in the near future. fgj Moved and seconded that an assessment be made to pay for the class scrape and such other things that we were in expense. Q6j Moved and seconded that we do not subscribe for the fG!z'!ez'lz7a, also that we take the answer back and do something else.

In our hearts lie slumber- ing ideas of duty, love for God and humanity. All class histories are essentially similar, year after year one class follows in the footsteps of another. Stern reality reveals to us the right road. You who sympathize with us, to help overcome the difficulties of the future as bravely and surely as we have conquered the past, can faintly yet vividly recall your past. All must begin at the bottom and by steady, patient climbing reach the summit. Great victories which we have accomplished in the past are buried, the present is with us, the future is before us. Already We have left footprints in the annals of history, but the great bell of Time swinging in the dome of space is tolling away the years of the class that is destined to send forth men and women, the greatest characters the world has seen. We are the busy bees of Heidelberg, idleness is unknown to us. Time, with us, flits by, as a sea weed in mad waters. The sun rises, climbs to the zenith, sinks down the western slope, and a day is gone. The week glides swiftly away-one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and it has sailed down the stream of time. The months have chased each other through the circling year, and the new calendar began before we were familiar with the old. But we can nobly say,-this time is not lost. We ask you only to look back for for a moment, and you will remember incidents which are called-wonderful. It is with a feeling of great inability to do justice to the class of IQO3 that we shall attempt to give any kind of an account of its accomplishments. during its short stay at Heidelberg. The class entered the collegiate department of the University with an increase of almost twice the membership of the preceding year. As we con- gregatecl in the corridors, as we took our seats in the chapel on the morning of the eighteenth of September, we attracted no little attention, not only from the other classes, but even from the instructors of the institution. The Sophs, gazed upon us with an expression of aweg half in fear they gave a glance backward, and whispered to their classmates of the mighty band that is coming. Even at the slightest recollection, they shudder when they think of our victories won in Prepdom. They whisper to each other,- What, oh what, will the future be? For, is it not universally acknowledged that we were victorious in all our contests in our Preparatory year, and still main- tain the same interest in similar contests during the present year? Indeed, we feel our inability in this volume to put forth the possibilities that now lie dormant in the minds of the class of 'o3. We need only to ask the reader to look to the future until time shall draw back the curtain which conceals it from us, and reveals what is now being developed, which, without doubt, will disclose great achievement for the Blue and Old Rose.

IS the aim of Heidelberg Academy to accommodate the Bont- hl, I-71. 'glllnll well graduates of our public schools who desire to continue their ll: NIA' cb,.D':'llIlllI education to the best advantage, to offer the opportunities of a good academic education to those young people who lack edu- - N ' cational advantages at home, and to prepare students desiring to enter college for the several collegiate classes. Students of all these classes are in attendance tnis year. The Boxwell graduates are doing excellent work, and more of them can yet be accommodated. There is a larger num ber of the second class in attendance this year than during the years imme- diately preceding. The studies that they are pursuing are elected from the three classes of the Academy, but most of them will be ranked with the juniors, who now number fourteen. Those of the third class, who expect to enter college, are mostly members of the Middle and Senior classes. There are now twelve members of the Middle class and twenty of the Senior class. There are also special collegiate students in all the classes of the Academy. These are removing the conditions that were marked against them on entering college, and they now outnumber those of the three Academic classes combined. The instructors in this department are the principal, teachers of other departments, and tutors. The teachers of other departments who are assist- ing the Academy are Professors C. Hornung, C. M. Lowe, T. H. Sonne- decker, F. S Blue, and E. C Zartman. Mr. lVl, J. Flannery is tutor in Latin and physiology, and Miss jennie R. Huston is tutor in English. Academic students enjoy the privileges of athletics, and take an enthus iastic part in the various games. They are admitted to membership in two literary societies. The ladies unite with the Hesperian, and the gentlemen conduct the Irving Society, which is the oldest literary society at Heidelberg, being organized soon after the founding of the college. The Philosophean was its early rival, but both soon ceased their literary activity, and the Irving after a long period of suspended animation was revived a few years since, and it is again making its influence felt and heard. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. also welcome the Academic students to their meetings, and aim to surround them with Christian inHuences. The work of the year has progressed nicely, students and teachers have been working faithfully, and 'the prospects for the coming year are encouraging. jf' 'Qflf' NIL xlf -df NL- 'xlcggxlf' 'N-if 'XV 'JLAV 'QLQV Nlggelfgl- Nlf- xI4xIf.Nc,.':If'..2lL.3lf' NL' '44-'Nlfglg .- -.

Most of our time was spent in completing the foundation which was so admirably begun by several of our members who had arrived two years before, and in laying the cornerstone, hewn from the rock of advancement. Each member of our class is prepared and ready to add block upon block until the structure is finished, and whose dedication will take place on a June morning, 1904. Indeed, we' feel our inability in this volume to write concerning the possi- bilities that now lie dormant in the minds of the class of 1904, but which will soon burst forth in all their splendor. We would ask the reader not to pass judgment but to look to the future until time shall draw aside the curtain of our lives, and allow us to peep and see what is now being developed, which beyond a doubt will bring great honor for the 'tOld Gold and Nile Green.

The hope of its promoters was to establish a Depart- ment in which persons could prepare for examination for all grades of certificates-from the shortest term of the county to the High School life of the state. With these objects in view a three years' course of study has been prepared and offered during the last ten years. Very few students have done work beyond the first year's course. Among those who have attended the Department are some of the present successful , . MQW: B 'f' , ' T - '47 ' iq 'EQ '77::l?1'51't'Q f ff' teachers of Seneca and other counties. This work for teachers and candidates for teaching has been given increased recognition during recent years, but until the attendance in the Department increases to such a number that more instructors can be added, the work will have its difficulties. These hindrances have presented them- selves and have been met through the indulging patience of the students. Earnest students can be trained even under embarrassing difficulties. The attendance this year did not meet the expectations of the Depart ment's management, but the presence of former students seems to be an evidence of their approval of the work done for them at Heidelberg. The University environment contributes much to the social and intellectual devel- opment of these students. It is a sad fact that in all classes of educational work there will be found those who are not satisned with the efforts put forth in their behalf. Within the last three years a few of the family of chronic kickersn came, saw, grumbled, left, and did not conquer. Nevertheless, it has been the other, and much larger class that made the normal work a pleasure and, we hope, a success. As long as the state of Ohio offers noth- ing in the form of normal schools to her teachers to aid them in preparation for their work, the Normal Departments of the colleges will be a necessity and will be patronized. May this work at Heidelberg prosper from year to year. Qtlmttttlts lllllllllllhlll jcllitiat. 'N 'i Q- 'W' ' A. W. RICKSECKER. H. H. SHIRER. HEZ'd6!b67g' Szumnwf School was organized in 1893. The primary purpose was to provide conditioned students an opportunity to work off their condi- tions in order that their regular work would not be impeded by them. Later it was deemed expedient to offer courses of study for teachers in which they could review the common branches, and also pursue such advanced subjects as would assist them in the class-room. This Department has no financial relation with the University, but the Board of Regents gratuitously grants the use of University Hall and apparatus to those assuming control of the Summer School. This management usually devolves upon the Principals of the Academy and School of Pedagogy. Although the attendance the first year was small, the school has steadily grown each session. The beneficial results to those attending is sufhcient inducement for its continuation. eidelberg ummer gchool. I I 7 5 ,ill I l gt .1 ll l I .g N xt. as 504 'f' sl! N Y . .ia Hg 1' H. H. FRAZIER. C.

X 7 HE great demand for practical accountants brought about the neces- u sity of an institution where young men and women could secure f ll instruction in bookkeeping and routine ofhce work. From the will very start these schools have been very liberally patrnoized by a gi? , class of young men seeking an education designed to fit them for X a successful business career. This department of Heidelberg WMA University has been very successful in point of numbers in attend- R ff ,lg ance and the course of instruction has been carefully arranged in accordance with the special requirements. '55 It has been the aim of the University to establish a Depart- Y ment of Commercial Education inferior to none and a course of instruction superior in its capacity and employ competent man- gilir K I P i all i 2 il. f -Q , I,,yq S N J Jg . ig. it WWI F.Il: ,M I agers, and qualified teachers. The development of this department is conclusive of the care practiced in these things as it is an assured fact that no similar institution of learning can excel in these special features. The course is designed to prepare young men and women for responsi- ble positions as bool-:keepers and general office work, and we feel assured that this is being accomplished in a manner satisfactory to all. To those contemplating a course in any of the branches commonly taught in commercial colleges, together with any of the common or higher branches, we are pleased to extend to you an invitation to examine our cat- alogue and write the college for general information. , Qu ..,, Ygu, i V, 4:4gfQ'i 4 5 ' fu ,ew 1 L.,,4 ,1ff, ff: Jn 'M X., - sy .,,,:' J, ' Lf? ,I X' 11. - ' 'Ji' 'V :WP W' .-if - .

To make the music and the beauty. needs The nntstcfs touch, the sculptors chisel keen. Great Blaster, te-nch us with thy skillful hand, Let not the music that is in us die! HE Conservatory of Music was established a number of years ago, the object ' being to afford superior a-lvantages for pursuing the study of music, and It wh 4 D 'Im has commended itself by progress made and the results attained by 1ts pupils. j U, ,ul In September of '96, E. C. Zartman took charge of the n1us1c department, j and under his personal direction the attention has not been lagging, on the -if contrary, it has been pushing steadily forward and its growth in nuinbers and scholarship has been gradual, normal and healthful. The neighborhood of a university of general education and especially Christian education, is the natural place for a school of music The reaction of the general educational spirit upon the musical Work done is most helpful. In this respect our conservatory is fortunate in being so intimately associated with Heidelberg University. One of the busiest places in the University is in the music room. There pupils from different states, as well as from the surrounding community, from first grade to graduates, go in and out, each subjected to a thorough training, the aim being to produce intelligent musicians. Tl1e benefit to each pupil is, of course, according to the musical aptitude of the pupil and the time given to the subject. One evening each week is spent by the chorus class in studying the standard choruses and oratorios. For those who have the artistic tem- perament, but who have only a limited time to devote to the art, this affords an opportunity for Llie study of elevating and ennobling music. One of the attractions of commencement week is the annual concert, at which time some oratorio is rendered. This year we give the oratorio, The Creationf' by Hayden. We need hardly speak of the value of music study as a general mental discipline. No educational institution worthy of the name would admit into its curriculum any study not regarded as of real educational value. It is coming to be recognized by all who take the trouble to be posted in such matters, that the proper, serious study of music as an art develops patience, perseverance, memory, mental grasp, and the analytical and synthetical faculties more rapidly than any other line of study. The development of the imagination, the taste, the emotions. all the varied capacities for refined enjoyment and culture, are too well known to 11eed special emphasis. As stated by Mendelssohn: Music extends into regions whither language can not follow. Its medium of expression is a universal language open to and used by all races. Through it, the musician has the sacred privilege of ministering to humanity and of refining and uplifting his fellowmen. Not only in the present, but it may be these efforts may go to swell a grander music which shall uplift human hearts and bless the world when we have passed away.

W'ayne, Indiana - - Tiffin History of the Department of Hitt., Gig T Heidelberg, as in other educational institutions of equal grade and merit, the Department of Art has received much atten- tion, support, and patronage. f ill The term Art is sometimes employed in that broad and liberal sense which includes poetry, music and painting, with its necessary accompaniments. As Poets are born, and as music is provided for and taught in a distinct department, Art is limited to painting and drawing. In this narrow, noble sense, Art is taught at Heidelberg as having a superlative excellency in itself, as well as affording that peculiar discipline which gives symmetry, enrichment and beauty to the soul of the apt and diligent student. The superior excellency of Art as a means of soul culture appears in the fact, that it is the exercise of the student's creative faculty. The true Artists imagination is not something imaginary. His ideal is a real thing, in the realm of potential bearing, even though it be not realized on canvas before his creative genius places it there. The sculptor cuts out his ideal with a chiselg the poet expresses the product of his creative impulse through the medium of language, the painter in the high realm of the fine arts uses the pencil to give external and visible reality to the ideal creatures of his inspired imagination. It was not until 1887 that the School of Art began to take proper prominence and make proper progress in the growing curriculum of Heidel- berg. Miss Emma Phillips was the first teacher in the work thus inaugu- rated and carried forward in its more distinctive and progressive form, She was followed by Miss Ella Murphy in 1888, to be succeeded by Miss Emma Sonnedecker from 1889 to 1891. Now as there was so great a demand for an Art Department in the full and proper sense of that term, Miss I. I. Crampton was employed by the Board of Regents. She came with excellent recommendations from the leading Art Schools of the East, and took charge of the Department, and organized it for thorough work under a sufficiently comprehensive course of study Under her efficient management and superior skill as a teacher of acknowledged ability, a num- ber of students have been graduated by the Board of Regents during the last eight years. These graduates have shown their appreciation of the great benefits received, by their co-operation with Miss Crampton in giving to Heidelberg that reputation for excellency to which it is justly entitled among the best Art Schools of the North.

VANDA EUTERPIA KERST, Principal of the School Oratory. gl-IISTOIE' Department of Clratory 'T HE Department of Oratory is gaining in importance each year. As the breadth of the field and the power of its influence and greatness of its needs f are made manifest, its prominence is more and more realized. Oratory has been one of the tremendous forces in shaping the history of the ages. lt has been a wonderful factor in directing the actions of men. It has stood high among the fine arts and higher accomplishments. If it has been of 6' , J such noticeable importance in the past, it certainly should have a place in the present and a yet greater field in tl1e future. It undoubtedly deserves a recognition in our colleges, and should be more warmly supported by people in general. The past year in Heidelberg has been one in which unusual attention has been given to this department. The graduating class this year is the largest in its history, being composed of five members. This class has been active and earnest in the work, branching out into some of the more extensive parts of the subject and also entering some of its deeper domains. Particular study was made of Oratory proper. Analysis of the productions of the Masters as well as a minute study of the powers of the masters themselves, together with a practical appreciation of the same were given marked attention throughout the year. Each branch of Oratory in fact was taken up and used to the advantage of the student in the best manner possible. The results have been favorable indeed. The graces of speech and action, of voice and body and of tone and gesture have been mastered in a marked degree. Besides class room drills and private work in this department, public recitals have been given affording the members of the class an opportunity to appear before the people. These recitals consist of readings, recitations, monologues, duologues, statue posings, pantomimes, physical culture drills, impersonations, and scenes from Shakespeare. They have been some of the most interesting features of the year, and were received by the public with hearty approval. A very successful one was given April fourth under the exclusive direction of the graduating class. This recital was of high order, and reflected great credit on the department represented. A large audience was present and expressed great delight in the work. Another feature has helped to make the year's work bright and pleasant. The ladies of the class have manifested their social natures by giving at different times, pleasant evenings for the class and other friends. One of marked pleasure was a party at the home of Miss Victoria Buchman. The entire class was present with many other friends. Interesting games, spicy conversations, a royal spread and readings made glad and joyful the evening. All present expressed their appreciation by saying, We had a joyous time. Thus another year passes and records itself in the history of this department. Five more prominent orators and actors step out upon the world's broad stage to exercise their powers of mind to direct the human race in its proper course. May they mount the stage at the proper place and know when to make their exit. P .9?? . , .1314 F. 'A ff -nr?-4 , . fTHm2.,.,Zi ., - is ' i X If Us :li Students of the School of Orator .

H. sz .-,, Q lil N attempting to write a brief history of the Young Men's Christian Association of Heidelberg, it is deemed best to make mention of a Christian organization which existed 1 '.,i . prior to the establishment of the present Association, in i p w order that its true history may be known, and in order that lg 1ts true founders may receive due recognition. A ,N Q X The data for this sketch have been taken, mainly, from I the records of the above mentioned associations, and in a number of cases direct quotations are given, with the hope that they may lend interest to what is said. On April II, 1881, Messrs. G. H. Souder, G. VV. Remagen, E. M. Beck, DI. L. Bretz, W. A. Long, F. Shults, J. F. Winter, J. A. Ketrow and VV. H. Shults met at the rooms of Messrs. lfVinter and Shults to con- fer about, and to make arrangements for an organization to promote the spirit of piety among students. The nature of the needed organization was considered, and a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. Three days later, April 14, an organization was ehfected with a membership of about twenty, which was known as the Young People's Christian Asso- ciation. G. H. Souder was elected President, J. L. Bretz, Vice-President, and W. H. Shults, Secretary. A committee on programs was also elected. The religious meetings of the association, which were held weekly, were well attended from the beginning, and a deep interest was manifested. The membership increased so that in the fall of 1881 the names of about forty students, young men and women, appeared on the membership roll, and the association rested upon a firm basis. january 26, 1882, Eve delegates were elected by this organization, to attend the State Convention of the Young Menis Christian Association of Ohio, at Toledo. On February 16 of this year, the constitution of the Col- lege Young Men's Christian Association was adopted, and the Young People's Christian Association became the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. The following ofhcers were elected under the new constitution: President, R. C. Zartman, Vice-President, J. P. Stahl, Recording Secretary, W. H. Good, Corresponding Secretary, M. E. Kleckner, Treasurer, W1 A. Long. In order to work more efficiently and distribute special work, so as to accomplish the best results, and stimulate to greater activity in higher Christian attainments, live committees, consisting of live members each, were appointed, viz: 1. Devotional Committee. 2. Committee on Membership. 3. Committee on General Religious Work. 4. Missionary Committee. 5. Committee on Correspondence. Monthly missionary meetings soon found a place on the program of religious meetings, and a deep interest was awakened in missions. The importance of Bible study was also soon realized, and semi-monthly Bible readings became a part of the regular work. The young women continued as members of the association for some time after the new constitution was adopted, but finally their names disappeared from the roll. ln the course of time a reading room was litted up at considerable expense, an abundance of good literature provided for, and a librarian appointed to have charge ofthe same. This, however, was soon discon- tinued, and the furnishings of the room were disposed of. ln 1885 a room was set apart in the new college building for the Young Men's Christian Association. To provide means with which to furnish this room, it was decided to have a course of lectures, five in number, the proceeds to be applied to furnish the Y. M. C. A. Hall. Out of this movement has grown our Lecture Course, which is a source of great blessing not only to the col- lege community, but also to the citizens of Tifiin. At hrst only home talent was secured, but of late years some of the best lecturers and concert com- panies in the country have appeared on the rostrum in Rickly Chapel. The course is now so well established that we have no longer any fear of its being discontinued, and the Lecture Course Committee has been made a standing committee of the association. A Bible Study Committee was also added to the list before mentioned, and today it is the aim ofthe association to make Bible study its key depart- ment. A Committee on Finance, a Social Committee, and a Committee on Work for New Students have also been added. Each of these committees has in charge a special branch of the association work. Thus organized and equipped, the association is now in a prosperous con- dition. Its members are striving not only to lead others to Christ and to become engaged in active Christian work, but also to deepen their own spir- itual lives. Each year a number of delegates are sent to the State Conven- tion and to the Summer Conferences at Lake Geneva or Northfield. Many of our former members are now out in the world, some of them in foreign mission fields, and the high regard in which they hold the association is sufficient evidence of what it has done in the past, and what it is doing today to advance the spiritual condition of Heidelberg.

The questions arose in the minds of a few of the women of the University, What shall we do for the young women who come from the ia . . . . T25 1nHuence of Christian homes and their own churches? Can gifs x . . . . the churches of the city supply the Christian nourishment and training they need? lt was realized that there was need of work among the women of the college and that this work could only be accomplished by a Christian organization in the University. This realization led a few of the earnest Christian women to meet in the Ladies' Hall, on February eighteenth, eighteen hundred and eighty-five, for the purpose of organizing a Young Woman's Christian Association. The Constitution was adopted and work begun with a membership of sixteen. The Association met every Monday evening in the parlors of the Ladies' Hall, until the Young Mens Christian Association fitted up a room in the college building, in which to hold their meetings, and allowed the young women the privilege of holding their weekly prayer-meetings in the same room. The organization in its infancy had a hard struggle for existence, but through the faithfulness of its first members it steadily grew in interest and numbers. During the time intervening between its organization and the present time it has had its successful and its unsuccessful periods. But in spite of all the obstacles that have impeded its progress at times, today the association is in a healthy, flourishing condition, as a result of the enthusias- tic efforts of the young women during the past years of its history. In September of eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, Heidelberg was honored with the State Y. VV. C. A. Convention. As no record of this convention has been left we know very little of its proceedings. Within the last few years the organization has made more rapid strides in its progress than ever before. At no time has it had a large member- ship, but in the interest and activity of its members it has increased greatly. It has indeed proved a training, wherein young women can develop in Chris- tian character as well as receive practical training in Christian work. That the association has always been deeply interested in missions is shown from the fact, that three of its former members are now in the foreign mission field, while others contemplate going to a foreign land as soon as the way opens. The association also contributes liberally each year to the cause of missions. The organization has not only helped to prepare women for the foreign held, but for the home work as well. Many of its former members are now doing efficient Christian work at their homes in different parts of the coun- try. They are Christian leaders wherever they are placed. Many are their words of gratitude in behalf of the association which helped them so much in their preparation for life's work. The association has been instrumental in awakening a deeper interest in systematic Bible study, by the excellent Bible courses which it offers each year. This as a consequence has deepened the spiritual lives of the young women. Each year the association sends delegates to the Y. W. C. A. Confer- ence held at Geneva, VVisconsin, as well as to the State Conventions. The Young Woman's Christian Association since its beginning has fur- nished a Christian home to all young women who have come under its influ- ence. Little did its originators realize how much the association would mean to the lives of the women of the University who should succeed them, when they started the movement. The organization stands as a strong structure in honor of those whose Christian fidelity have made it what it is today. Throwing its doors wide open to all young women who come to the Univer- sity in the futurepoffering them protection from the snares of the world and the possibility of the development of noble Christian character. ci MISSION BMNID.

Qur L year's work, as a literary society, began in the fall under bright 1 A auspices. Our initial number was twenty, but that increased to thirty-four. Such a list of new accessions speaks for itself, and is certainly significant of a thrifty and substantial growth. During the greater part of the fall term, while the society was divided equally into but two classes, our literary programs were exceptionally long, yet they were of vigorous quality Later, the society was divided into three classes, in consequence of which the programs became shorter, but we believe it may be modestly said that they. too, were of sterling quality. As for the winter term, many extras happened along to retard and hinder the work of the society as a whole. The paramount issue claiming our attention, and that, which enveloped us in grave doubts, were the several problems con- nected with the remodeling and refurnishing of our hall. I think that most all will concur in the statement that, at the very outset of such work, there are hard nuts to crack, causing the greatest precautions to be used, lest by a step in this direction or in that, we might easily lend ourselves to severe criticism and ridicule. After agitating the question pro and con for a num- ber of weeks, the matter was brought to a focus, resulting in the initiative being taken in the practical part of the work in the first week in March. With the work begun, we felt confident that a satisfactory end would be forthcoming. The first step that was taken to improve the appearance of our hall, was to remove two useless doors entering it and then to plaster shut the spaces thus made, thereby forming solid walls on the east and south sides. just previous to mounting a beautiful steel ceiling, a complete system of wires were laid in compliance to the readjustment of the electric lights, which now pierce the ceiling at five favorable points. Next in order, the walls were given a new dress. The article used was a fancy pressed paper, something unique and quite new, With the work thus far progressed we began to breathe freer, knowing that with a general cleaning and laying of the carpet, the overhauling process would be nearly completed. As appro- priate and indispensable finishing touches to the above, new curtains, rugs and table-covers were put in place, until now we feel that the room up in the northwestern part of the university building is quite a cozy corner And now, as we take our leave of you, may we be allowed to give expression to that feeling of amiability, which we always strive to make one of our chief characteristics, and extend to all, who may at any time visit Heidelberg University, a cordial welcome to the Excelsior Headquarters.

O the history of Heidelberg Literary Society must be added the records of another year, which has brought with it success and blessings. From a humble beginning the society has grown in numbers even in the face of many adversities. Founded in 1859 by a body of seven young men, with the motto fx if 11517 f05C fw5, S?0Ur UTSQCIZLIJZ, Victory Crowns the Brave, it levi 5 has passed safely through many vicissitudes. On November 4, 1859, the first meeting was held in what was then known as Heidelberg Hall. Ten years later, a new hall on the fourth floor of the old college building, having been furnished by members of the society, was en- tered and was the accustomed place of meeting until the year 1886. ln the fall of this year the present Heidelberg Hall was opened for use, well furnish- ed with many luxuries the old places of meeting did not have, With many stormy discussions with the Excelsior Literary Society, and with many demands and sacrifices met by the members of the Heidelberg Literary Society in these early days, the organization continued to grow. f .

Herbruck, Rev. S. B. Yockey, and Dr. A. S. Zerbe, has not been forgotten. The year 1899-,OO has brought benefit and success to the society. With a rap of the old gavel whose power to command respect, has stilled the storms of many a discussion, the work was begun. Many new faces have taken the place of those once familiar, Many new voices are heard within the portal of Heidelberg Hall. Sessions were held at the accustomed time, each Friday evening of the week, The work of the year suffered few interruptions. From the dais, where stands the friendly pedestal were hurled the shafts of criticism and invective, were breathed the eulogistic strains. Every well directed effort realized some good for him who labored, and when years have unfolded from Future's endless ages, the praises of Heidelberg will be sung in remem- brance of its fostering care. Music with all its stimulating and ennobling powers has come to be an essential of the program, as an incentive to more determined and grander work. Besides the regular session of each week, under the auspices ofthe society the Scott F. Hershey contest was held December 18, 1899, there being six contestants, the limited number. Also on March 14, IQOO, the anniversary program was given by members belonging to the junior and Senior classes of the college The work ofthe year has been one of great pleasure and success. The spirit, that in the succession of many years has lived in loyal breasts, was caught up by hearts equally true to the tie that binds many into one. The endeavors put forth in Heidelberg Hall, the pleasure there enjoyed, will never be forgotten And, when one after another, those who have labored there have passed through her portal to return no more, may they ever give answer to the roll call for true and noble men.

' ,FJ HESPERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY ii' the early part of the year eighteen hundred and eighty-nine, Illmff- 'tml' the ladies of Heidelberg University determined that man alone llllllftq Dtpzlllllll should not emerge from the classic halls of such an Institution with the higher literary culture, but that woman, too, should - Q' participate in this training. Consequently, a little band of zealous workers met in the Young Mens Christian Association room one afternoon for the purpose of organizing a ladies' literary society. A com- mittee of tive young ladies was appointed to frame a constitution and by-laws. After several meetings a constitution was adopted, and officers were elected. Later the name, Hespe1'z'mz, and the motto, Nalin Vfsfzlgfzkz Re!1'0rszmz, were adopted. For several weeks the society met in Young Men's Christian Associa- tions room and in the Chapel, until the Faculty granted the use of President Williard's room, where, for a short time, meetings were held on Friday afternoons at four o'clock. At length, a part of the room which was used for the department of taxadermy was given to the society, and the members were allowed to meet in the evening. Preparations were at once begun toward making repairs and securing furniture. For some time it seemed almost beyond all reason for so few girls to attempt to secure sufficient means to furnish and repair such a large room in order that it would be presentable when it was completed. But, no indeed, these brave girls would not allow any obstacle to hinder them on the road to success! Many improvements were made, and after numerous struggles, the Hesperian Hall presented a very attractive appearance, and the ladies were receiving their well deserved congratulations for their efforts. From this time the society has made the most rapid steps in progress, not only in external appearance, but the literary standard has been raised. In the fall of eighteen hundred and ninetyenine, the members of the society determined to remodel their hall, owing to the increasing member- ship, and the interest that was manifested in the work. Through the assistance of the friends and honorary members, and through the efforts of the ladies themselves, the dear old Hall passed through a complete process of transformation, and now presents an appearance of which any organization might well be proud. On the evening of October twenty-seventh, the ladies of the society entertained their friends with a drama, The Princess, which was highly appreciated and well attended. The society celebrated its eleventh anniversary on April eleventh, nineteen hundred, in Rickly Chapel The following programme was rendered: Invocation, - - ..-. REV. SEBASTIAN C. Goss, D. D.

These lie latent and all undeveloped within, and need some persuasive and even com- pelling force to secure them the due share of at- tention that their importance demands. Once awake: ed to the fact that he is possessed of talents worth developing, there is small danger that, with an opportunity at hand, he will neglect them. To furnish this influence, to 'train the new student to some degree of familiarity with a new art, and to lay a foundation upon which may be built an oratorical structure, is, then, the office of a literary society in the Irving's position. And this is what the Irving endeavors to do. In brief this has been its history-molding the raw materi- al into some semblance of the completed shape. Obvious reasons prevent its members from show- ing the ability of the members of the older socie- ties. But nevertheless, it is a branch of Heidel- berg's literary tree that dare not be severed. Long may it live and prosper. E. S. HISTORIAN. KILIKILIK STAFF. Mabel Elder, '00, Religious. H. J. Rohrbaugh, '00, Edilor-in-f7hiq1'. Jennie Huston, '02, Local H. N. Kerst, '97, Alumni. n .A. R.

REEMSNYDER 1 9 'X' EMM, , , , The Azthlefzc Assoczatzon 'T T all times in her history, Heidelberg has had athletes who were will- ing and anxious to contest in her honor. But gradually there arose J a feeling, that there should be an organization to control and system- X atize athletics, so that teams should no longer be organized on the spur of the moment to enter a contest, but that they should be thoroughly trained. Then, and then only, would old Heidelberg attain her proper place in the athletic nrmament. Accordingly in the Fall of 1892, an athletic association was organized, and a foot-ball team formed which had a fairly successful season winning one and losing one game. The next year greater preparations were made, a good coach was secured, and although the proportions of games won was the same, two victories to two defeats, the team had gained in knowledge and experience Everybody felt conndent of greater success in the future. Everything looked bright. But suddenly all was darkness and despair. The Board of Regents forbade athletics at Heidelberg. For two years everything was gloomy, but the gloom was dispelled when the Board of Regents reconsidered their action and declared that once more Heidelberg might engage in athletic contests. A new association was at once organized, and a foot ball team put into the Held which won three out of the four games which it played. Since that time we have had a team each year, and while the proportion of games won has not always been as high yet we have been meeting stronger teams each year, and each year our victories have been greater than our defeats. Our prospects were never brighter than they are now. While foot ball has received the greatest at- tention, other kinds of sport have not been neglected. Base ball, indoor and outdoor, track work and basket ball have received their fair share of attention. But during these years, a considerable debt has accumulated. Attempts have been made from time to time to raise this, but in vain until this year through the efforts of the management, and the generosity of 'the students, it bids fair to be wiped out. With the association free from debt, and the bright prospects for a successful foot-ball team next year, we may prophesy that Heidelberg will go up several more rounds on the ladder of athletic renown which she has been so persistently and successfully climbing.

HE early settlers in Ohio and adjacents states, holding to the Heidelberg Catechism as the symbol of their faith, when snugly settled in their log cabins, began to inquire after men adapted to the offices of school-teacher and minister. There were but few men suited to these offices at hand. When the Ohio Classis was consti- tuted at Lancaster, O., in 1820, it reported only tive ministers in its fifty congrega- tions containing eighteen hundred 111embers. Even before this time efforts had bee11 made by a few pastors to educate young men for the ministry privately. Notably, the Rev. Thomas Winters, who came to the vicinity of Dayton in ISOQ, was accustomed to teach school during the week days and preach to his scattered congregations on the Sabbaths. After his removal to Germantown he taught theology to his two sons, David and Thomas, to john Pence and others who were looking forward to tl1e gospel ministry. In 1838 the West Pennsylvania Classis united with the Ohio Synod. The enlarged body inaugurated the Rev. Dr. J. G. Buttner as a teacher of theology in Cantong his attempt failed after the first year's effort. In 1846, the Rev. A. P Freese, pastor of the Fzrst Church in Dayton, began the teaching of theology in Columbus. This effort likewise had but a brief history. It now became evident that college work must be provided for, in order that students might be qualified by the pursuit of preparatory studies for the theological course. The synod, therefore, in 1849, agreed to change the High School established by the Rev. S. S. Rickly at Tarlton, O., into a college, and elected Mr. Rickly its first president. In the following year the whole interest was transferred to Tiffin. The college work was begun by the two brothers, Revs Jeremiah H. and Reuben Good, November, 1850, in the third story of a business block on XVashington Street, known as Commercial Row. Six months later, that is, in the month of May, 1851, the Rev. E. V. Gerhart began the work of teaching in the Theological Seminary. During the early years of the history of the institutions here in Titlin, the President of the College acted also as a teacher of theology in the Theological Seminary The following named professors have taught in the Theological Seminary: Rev. Eman- uel V. Gerhart, D. D, from September, 1851, to April, 13553 Rev, Moses Kieffer, D. D., from November, 1855, to November, 18655 Rev. Herman Rust, D. D., from 1862 to 1899. Professor Rust was declared Emeritus by the Ohio Synod at its annual sessions in War- ren, O., in October, 18995 Rev. Jeremiah H. Good, D. D., from 1868 until the time of his death in 1887g Rev. David Van Horne, D. D., from May, 1888, to the prese11t timeg Rev. Alvin S. Zerbe, D. D., from May, 1888, to the present time, Rev. john I. Swander, D. D., from October, 1892, until October, 1895, Rev. I. H. Bomberger, D. D , from October, 1897, to january, 1900: Rev. Edward Herbruck, D. D., from October, 1897, to the present time, Rev. Charles E. Miller elected by the Ohio Synod on October, 1899. Heidelberg Theological Seminary has sent forth three hundred graduates during the half century of its existence, most of whom are engaged in the active duties of the ministry. It has lately added a large number of new books to its increasing library. Its professors are anxious to give its students the benefit of a thorough course of study in its various departments, on the basis of the Scriptures and the evangelical standards of Protestantism. It opens its doors to students for the ministry from any evangelical denomination, maintains a Young Men's Christian Association, a weekly prayer-meeting, and takes a hearty interest in the cause of Home and Foreign Missions.

LEBERMAN Minutes of the First Class Meeting of the Junior Theologsf' f 'T'N ,URSUANT to call, the members of the junior Class of Heidelberg l Theological Seminary, met in the Seminary Rooms September 27, X 1899, for the purpose of organization. gl House was called to order by Mr. Diefenbach. Moved by Grauel, seconded by Diefenbach that he QDiefenbachj act as temporary chairman. Moved by Diefenbacli, seconded by Grauel that he QGrauelj act as temporary secretary. Nominations for President were called for. The names of H. B. Diefenbach, and j. F. Grauel were presented and voted upon. The result was a tie. Several ballots were cast with the same result, and finally, since no decision could be made, the chairman declared Diefen- bach elected. This met with violent opposition, but owing to the superior howling abilities of the chairman, the house was restored to order, and the decision of the chairman was sustained. Nominations for Vice-President were next in order. Grauel being the only candidate for this office, the motion prevailed that he QGrauelj be elected by acclamation. The chair- man not desiring to vote on this question, the motion carried by a majority of one vote. Since the chairman could not act in the capacity of both President and Secretary at the same time, it was decided by unanimous con- sent that Grauel act as Secretary. Nominations for Treasurer were then in order. The names of j. F. Grauel and H. B. Diefenbach were presented. Moved by Grauel, seconded by Grauel, that he fGraue1j be elected by acclamation to this office. An amendment was offered by Diefenbach that the name of H. B. Diefenbach be substituted for that ofj. F. Grauel. A hot debate ensued in which the whole house took part, Diefenbach favoring the amendment, Grauel oppos- ing it. Grauel was declared guilty of misconduct and sent from the room, and during his absence, the amendment and the motion as amended, were carried by an overwhelming majority. No other business being brought before the house, the chairman declar- ed the meeting adjourned. H. B. DIEFENBACH, P7'e5, J. F. GRAUEL, Secjf. The LHUBQHQU QQI1mu.lQUn9-G0mnany.

STONER: Heaven helps those who help themselves. MISS WITTACH: I won't talk to anybody any more till somebody talks to me. GOOD! Never talk unless you have something to say. MISS MILLER: YVell, why don't you boys talk ? STEINER: Pass the potatoes. ADAMS: I-I'm, I can talk for them if they want me to. JOE: Talk whether you say anything or not. CLEMMER: I am too full for utteranceft PROBLEMS IN LOGIC. Alspach and Rosenberger started to raise mustaches. Two girls refused to admit gentleman callers having hirsute adornments.

C.-QLD It is well to pay strict attention to the speaker on all public occasions, even if it is necessary to turn your right ear toward him. f2.j Young men of good man- ners always avoid interrupting others when they are engaged in conversation. 1. M. E.-No, I do not think that removing farther away from college will impair your chances. Distance generally lends enchantment. A. D. K.-To prevent sleepiness in the class room, eat light food for dinner, avoiding onions and greens especially, and try, if possible, to relieve your mind from all thoughts of love. XV. YV. S.-Yes, it was very appropriate for you to take your lady friend lo see an oil well shot, even though you were compelled to keep her out in a cold March wind from one till six o'clock. However, you should not have even hoped that your friends would not recognize you as you patrolled that little lane one-half a mile away, when your companion wore such an attractive and familiar costume. H. I. R.-tI.j You may think that your manners are alright but things are not as they seem. The marks of a true gentleman are genlleness and kindness. Q2.J Your poetical eifusions could not be used in this edition on account of lack of space. Some ability is evident, and you may hope. Success comes only after repeated trials and failures. SPEEDY 8L CO.-The replies to your questions, you have no doubt observed, have been somewhat delayed, but it is all due to the weightiness of the queries at hand, but at last it becomes necessary to speak the truth. Your actions would not be characterized as pleasing. It seems hardly necessary that you should walk to and from meals all the time together, but owing, as you mentioned, to the fact that you would soon be separated feven though only temporarilyj, it seems in a measure pardonable A. R. K.-It is alright to be ambitious, but great precaution is sometimes necessary. It is not good form to have one's private secretary engaged too much in the work of election- eering. If you have superior abilities, your friends will discover them. It is better for the office to seek the man, than for the man to seek tl1e office. H, B D. QLD It is perfectly proper for a young man to turn music for his lady friend on public occasions, but it is not necessary to do this during her practice hours in order to become proficient. A little private practice ought to be sufficient. t2.j It is not in good form to take your lady friend in a roundabout way home from church on a stormy night. q3,j Your question in regard to marriage is too personal to be answered in these columns. On receipt of a two-cent stamp a full answer will be mailed. 1. A. P.-A good method to prevent soiling pillows with hair-oil is to place a towel neatly over them before retiring, or to wear a night-cap. O. I. F. S.-It was perfectly proper for your lady friend to refuse the tickets for the entertainment after you had asked another and were unsuccessfulg especially since she had excused you to ask the other lady. REEMY.-A strong physique is certainly a blessing, but it should not be accompanied by a domineering spirit. M. E. G.-Q 1.1 It was very unkind in a public speaker to show his disapproval of your coming to the lecture late, by making public mention of it, but perhaps your friend will be more prompt in getting ready hereafter. t2.j If she takes too much time from your regu- lar work, you better leave girls alone. A. I. D.-You should not walk out into the country on dark, rainy nights merely to show your affection. It can be seen well enough in broad day light. LADIES.-A very effective way to promote sociability among the students of your college would be to reserve two Saturdays of each month for the purpose of entertainment. Invite your friends, and make their visit pleasant by serving punch or some other light refresh- ment. This method has been tried in Smith and Bryn Mawr, and has resulted in personal benefit to many of the young ladies who were active in the enterprise. Many acquaintances were formed which have never been broken. PROF. D.-It is certainly very commendable for a public speaker to have a large vocab- ulary at his command, but we would not advise the extensive use of synonyms on all occa- sions. Try to select the word best suited for the purpose, and your hearers will easily infer the different shades of meaning which you desire to bring out. I. C. Z.-It is not Wise for a young lady to tell even her best girl friends how much she thinks of a young man. A too effusive demonstration of your affections in public is not in good taste. RUTH.-It was certainly very commendable in your going along to the contest to look after and cheer up your sister's friend. It was very kind in you taking him to your cousin's to tea, in order to enable him to become acquainted with your relatives. EDGAR.-It was very thoughtless and unkind in your lady friend not to inform you several days before of her intention to go to the contest. It is well, however, to prepare always for such emergencies, and have the necessary funds at hand. VANDA.-Table conversation is indeed very important, and should be cultivated by all. Probably the reason why the boys will not talk to you, is because you can not carry on your part of the conversation. SPONNY.-fI.j You may leave people under the impression for a While that it is a mere coincidence when you and your lady friend walk down town together, but should this happen more than twice a day, they would soon perhaps begin to suspect the truth. You are to be commended for your gallantry in conveying to the speaker the fact that your lady friend had forgotten her music. .,!, .a.xExxE,,EX,.,?E,. .,.,,, -,,,,,,....,,.,,,,,,.,L.,:N,q RR W W ii' ' an Eur: ,fury F lil' J l Tr r ,L J?

DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favors of recent date, would say that we have inserted your photo in AURORA as per request, amd have taken extra precaution to prevent the dang pupsll from surreptitiously appropriating it. Your most humble and obedient servants, EDITORS. E P. S.-XVe think it will show up well, and hope you will be pleased with it. Corvversafion Beffween CProfs. Shirer and Keller, Overheard by an Aurora Reporter, KELLER.-Oh, I am so weary. I'm just dead. I have been strolling on winding paths away from the electric light, and, alone. SHIRER.-Say, Albert, I know what's the matter. You're in love, and you ought to have a wife and a home. K.-Well, I hardly think so. Old boy, to tell the truth, I'n1 discouraged. S.-But really, Albert, you can not understand what a blessing it is. There is such a comfort in the thought of having a cosy home, and best of all, a bright little wife awaiting your home-coming. Glory! the satisfaction there is for me in the thought of my pleasant evenings at home. Right after supper, I generally throw my aching bones down on the lounge, and then she comes and strokes my fevered brow, and gently combs my tangled locks. LK. aside, 't Bald! Bald! I'm bald! 9 When the evening shadows gather, she always brings in the light, being careful to shade it so that it does not hurt my eyes. Oh, I'll tell you I know whereof I speak. K.-Oh, you're just jollying me. You're just picturing the bright side. How would my poor pate fare if I were married, and we had a scrap. You see I believe perfectly in love lin fact, that is one of n1y hobbiesj, but bear this fact in mind, I would not have the opportunity of setting up a home with her people as you did. You see one must consider this thing from all sides. S.-Well, you need not kid me on such little details. I am satisfied to own a wife, and to leave real estate out of the question for the present. K.-fVVith a sighj Gee! but you're a lucky dog. Say, Harve, tell me how it all hap- pened. I dare say I, could succeed, too, if I only knew how. S.-Well, Albert, do you know you made one mistake by not beginning before the last term sh- was here. Yes, indeed, you hardly had time enough to show her what wonderful accomplishments and virtues you have. CK. smiles contentedly but shakes his head sadly.b K.- Speak not of the lost opportunities of the past. The future lies darkly before me. Or, to put it this way, how in creation, Harve, can I make up for lost time? Do you think it would be wise for one of my best friends to write and tell her of some of my virtues? S.-I hardly know what to say to that. Now it strikes me, I wonder if anyone did this kind act in my case At least, I never understood how it all happened. Say, Al, I'llf1nd out, and, in an indirect way, I'll ask my wife what she would think about such a plan. Old boy, nothing would give me more pleasure than to launch you out on the calm sea of matrimonial felicity. K.-Almost you persuade me to think that you speak the truth. S.-I would that not only you, but also all wretches like you, were not only almost, but altogether persuaded to enter this blissful state. K.-Say, Harve, leaving metaphors out of the question, and speaking plainly, you understand this better than I. You just help me out and persuade her that I am alright, and that my future lies in her keeping, and I shall reward you richly some day. Say, you will, won't you? Be discreet. S.--NVhewl Supper-time, by jingo! NVhoopee, I'd better get home before that supper gets cold, or I'll cal. Say, Albert, come and see me some time, and take supper with me. K.-You bet I will. Believe I'll go along tonight so that I'll know how to act in the sweet bye and bye. Lost, Strayed or Stolen.

S The following paper was found on the sidewalk in front of Dr. L0we's recitation room. Its authorship, accordingly, is attributed to hin1. A reward of thirteen dollars will be paid Cto himl by the Faculty and Seniors for his conviction. N. B. Owing to the irregularity, dilatoriousness and longwindedness of Secretary Sonne- decker's reports of Faculty proceedings to the students and public, the AURORA has secured a thoroughly veracious, up-to-date reporter, and every fact given is absolutely authentic. ik3n'Because of the modesty of the Professors and in order to relieve the AURORA pages from the blot of their frightful names, all titles are omitted and the original, unique scheme has been devised on indicating names by representative letters Thus K. indicates Prof. Klecknerg H. Prof. Hornungg L. Prof. Loweg R. S. Profs'. Ricksecker and Sonnedeckerg Profs. Keller and Shirer because of their excessive modesty, have additional letters, thus: Kel. and Shig Prof. Dreher's name is printed Dre. for the sake of euphony. The above named members of the Faculty met on all Fool's Day, in ac- cordance with their regular custom to kill time and increase the wretchedness of the students. In the usual rush and scrimmage for the chair, H. won by a starting jump and landed in the chair with great applause. All others re- fusing, S. was allowed to continue as Secretary. The following minutes were deciphered by S:- All present at last meeting except Kel, who was surruptitiously absent, in the neighborhood of Columbus. Cause of absence not stated. H. and K. the committee on High School Visitation reported that they had delivered 1, 1 17M orations at the many high schools and secured 2,235 M students The committee was reprimanded by R. and Dre. L. chairman of the committee on revision of courses, reported that he had made a scoop by getting the order for revision through the Borer! with- out the Faculty's knowledge. He reported radical changes in every depart- ment including a recommendation that Seniors shall not, hereafter, be allow- ed to elect Bible more than sixteen hours per week, and that the eternal prin- ciples of co-education be strictly enforced in all expeditions for botanizing. The report was hustlecl into the waste basket and the committee censured for consulting with individual professors before arranging their course. R. reported for the committee on promoting Sociability that they were .achieving splendid success in the constantly increasing use of the corriders for this purpose, and that the committee had ordered the railings and banis- 'ters to be widened and cushioned. The report was encored with enthusiasm. L. chairman of the committee on Atheletics made a verbal report in a fiery speech of three hours. He inveighed vehemently against professors who required the study of lectures and text books, thus consuming the time which should be used for practice games and recovery. He eloquently argued that bumming and slugging and association with toughs were essen- tial to the development of the twentieth century manhood. He insisted that games and practice hours should continue from 7:00 a. m. until sunset, and that no classes be held during these hoursg that professors be required to be present at all games and practice, and meet all expenses for coaches and equipments. He was beginning his peroration with a powerful plea for a fund of fifty-thousand dollars to employ experts to beat Yale and Oxford and proposing to lead with a subscription for five thousand when S. and K. sprang upon him simultaneously, with the cry, HI mean to head that sub- scription with five thousand myself. Shi. and Dre. rushed to the rescue and the room was radiant with the scintillating gleam of flying gold watches, jewels and gold-crowned teeth, when R. offered to compromise by heading the list himself. The Secretary here mournfully ejaculated That's all the further I've got, and the minutes were ordered to be posted on the door again. The following altercation occurred between the Chairman and the Sec- retary:- S We haveaa man here who has attended two colleges. H. That reminds me of a calf which took milk from two cows. S. What did it make? H. A big calf. K. Then interrogated the Chair: - K. Why don't the Bored want Shi. any longer? H. Beeause he's long enough already. The roll was then called for original poems with the following responses:- 4: K. A lovelier sight I never see Than Freshmen with their Botany, I like myself to take a glass And look at bugs and sour grass R. I strive to lay well the foundation . My toiling has thus no cessation, 1,111 up to my biz and that's Why I've riz, To honor this fine situation. II.

Kel. coming last was eiicored to fill up the time, and proceeded to further punish his associates:- A bachelor man I'll be, I'11 be A bachelor man I'll be, A bachelor man can do what he can, And that's what's the matter with me. At this point, the sound of large shuffling feet was heard and the crack of the Jan's whip as he appeared driving the Seniors before him for the rehearsal before the Faculty of their graduating excruciations.

M. train to Burgoon. But instead of getting off at this place, she got off at Linden three stations this side. The train left before she noticed her mistake. As there is no railway communication between Linden and Fremont, Miss Kerst decided to walls to Burgoon, QSee cut abovej. Upon arriving at the next station, she learned that she was yet eight miles from Burgoon. But she found a good-natured creature fa manj who condescended to take her to Fremont. Well she arrived at Fremont, and the man reached home, but when he got there, his wife found a hair-pin in his whiskers, and-i-- thereby hangs a tale.

Along by his side stepped the shyest of maidens, To whom he talked low vsith a gentle cadence. They both agreed that the concert was fine, That the reader s selections were just in their line.

There were others, you know, there the trouble heganj Who, into the street car, hurried and ran. There were ladies standing, so of course our Prep Rather gave up his seat, than lose his rep. Out on the platform our hero now stood And calmly waited, until they would Have reached Blank Street, and they'd leave the car, He and his sweetheart, his angel, his star. Before he could think it, the street car had stopped, And down to the street the Prep hurriedly flopped. Then looking around to speak to his lady, Naught could he see of any maidief' He glanced to the other end of the car, But the night was dark and he couldn't see far. He ran up the closer to get a view, Muttering wildly, O, where are you? He hurried this way, and tumbled that, With face the shade of his scarlet cravat. But not a glimpse of his girl could he get, Which made him feel pretty green, I bet. The street car had left him-O what had he done? His troubles, you see, had fairly begun. Not stopping to think, he rushed after the car, His hair flying wildly, his coat-tails blown far. On, on he rushed madly. O would it ne'er stop? He ran and ran till he thought he would drop. But all things must end, howe'er it be far, And he finally succeeded in catching that car. 'Twas on Washington Street-so the story goes- QFor the motorman told me, and he surely knowsj When our hero, all breathless, accosted the car, And rapidly scanned o'er the faces in that. He wildly questioned, Have you seen my girl? YVhile all in the car was commotion and whirl. Alas for the girl- she was not to be found, And as for our hero-he wished himself drowned. A brilliant idea then came to our man, His face really brightened as he thought of this plan He rapidly ran back over the street, Hoping, in vain, his girl he would meet. Back he ran to the corner, where He had hastily left the street car there. And when he had reached it, the all but flewj Why there she stood-O could it be true! How beamed the face of our Prep friend now! For none was more gladly greeted, I trow. He grinned and gulped, and giggled and smiled, While about his girl's eyes there was something wild Sheld discovered, she murmured, mildly enough, 'Twas a sort of game of Blind Man's Buff. She'd thank him to keep his eyes open, then, If ever she went with him again. And now, to the Preps, one word in conclusion: Don't think that this tale is just a delusion, But if you, on the car, with your girl should go, You'll keep your eye on her, I know. , 'S 5155: ' IQ- ,: f fk A QI' 1 l ghd ,,.V s tw is fi iiff --'rj F' i M2407 Q15 577' WU Wffi ii Q I' I 76'-11' 1 If y ' 'i fiilffl 9 fx f . , 714, ' f 'I 'fy' ff' f f X57 ff W , f I .fl .I X!

TIFFIN, O., May 11, 1900. MR. J. K. LEBERMAN, DEAR CLASSMATE:-You know you said that we should keep you informed as to any important doings of the class. Thus it is that I have a sad and woeful tale to tell. Rush Robinson invited us out to his place to spend last evening with him, so of course we took advantage of the opportunity. Well, we had a fair time on the way out and when we got there we spent the time before supper carousing on the wagons and in the yard. About eleven o'clock we went to supper and left the wagons in charge of the driver and the hired hand. After we were through with supper we went out in the front yard fonly about 25 ft. from the wagons and let the driver go to supper. Now, woe is me, sad to tell, heartrending to hear, during the time the driver was at supper, and we were in the front yard, someone, who was pretty slick, went into the barnyard, took a wheel off our wagonette, put it in the carriage and ran away with both. We saw the carriage just as it was going out the gate and started after it as fast as we could, and pretty soon the driver and the hired hand came on horses. We had followed them about 2 miles but could neither hear nor see anything of them, so we turned back and let the driver go on. We went back and phoned to town to have police stationed on all the important roads leading to Tifhn but they didn't get any- body, and our carriage was found on the college campus this morning, with the whip, blankets, etc., in Prof. Hornung's room. After we got back from the chase there was a good deal of commotion. Eve engaged in a regular war dance, Korf quit spooning for awhile, Miss Wilson and Miss Evemeyer being overcome by the shock retired and were soon in the arms of Morpheus, Kennie went fishing, Miss Huber said she was glad it happened. About this time, 3:00 A. M., the driver returned and said rigs would be out early in the morning. So we retired, boys on one side of the room, girls on the other. ln the morning some were afraid the wagons would not come, so they went home on a freight train. The rest of us waited, and waited, and wait- -ed, and did not get home until after dinner on Friday. We are not sure who perpetrated the trick, but we think it was the juniors. Now, how in the world, Leb., do you think we can get even with them? They certainly have it on us, but then we let on as if we were glad they did it. Well I must close. A Yours Truly, E. M. S., CLASS HISTORIAN. TIFFIN, OH1o, May Ilth, 1900. MR. C. W. BAHL, Plzz'!adehhz'a, Pez. DEAR OLD CLASSMATE:-Last night the Sophomores were entertained at Robinson's, near Rockaway. They were very intent upon having a good time, so we thought we would share their joys. We determined to make them stay until the next day, and, we were very successful. This is the way in which we proceeded: We hired a horse from Washburn, and a buggy from Arbogast. At 8:15 P. M., we started from Keller's house, being well supplied with wrenches, pinchers, pipes, and especially nerve. We arrived at Robinson's at 9:30. There were quite a number of the Sophs in the front yard, so we drove past about a quarter of a mile, and tied our hc rse. We completed our plans that were being concocted on the way there. We thought it best to get down on the inside of the fence and go up to the house on our hands and knees. We did this We lay in front of the house listening to the bright GQ and ingenius QB jokes of the Sophomores. Soon they were called to partake of a sumptuous supper-how fortunate it was for them that they ate their suppers before we stole the rig, else they never would have stood the shock. Now they were eating. Keller ran down and got the horse ready, Rex and I made our way over toward the barnvyard. just as we were in the act of going over the fence, we heard a voice, soft and low. VVe sat down. It grew louder, We had to evaporate The grass was long. It afforded a good hold and so enabled us to draw ourselves, lying flat upon the earth. A half hour had passed. Supper was devoured. The Sophs again made their appearance in the yard. The driver now went to supper. lt was I 1:05. Rex and I again made our Way to the barnsyard. All the Sophs but one or two couples, returned to the house. Now, that supreme moment was at hand, and the spoils were soon delivered into the hands of the victors. Rex piled over the fence, took off a wheel, threw it into the carriage, grabbed the tongue, and started. Imet him at the gate. A sweet, melodi- ous sophomore voice now broke the silence, but only to quicken our speed and renew our energy. We went down the road at a break neck gait. We met Keller. Rex jumped into the seat: I, into the buggy box and held the tongue, Keller leaned over the dash board, laid the whip to horse, in a jockey-like way, and We were off We arrived at Tifhn about an hour and a half later, made our Way through alleys to Rexls barn, tied our horse, and pulled the carriage behind the Gym. by hand. I got to my room about 2:00 A. M. This morning some of them came home on the train, the rest came just at noon in a livery that had been sent for. Hoping that I have given an authentic account, and that you, though far away, will enjoy our victory with us, I close, and we sign REX, Ring-leader. I-IORNUNG, Tongue-steerer. KELLER, jockey.

An evaporating dish he used, With the salt and H, Og His acid then diluted he, But no, it was no go. Again he tried it, and again, Once more-but no result.

'--.iq AN the spacious floor in the glare of the arc lights, innumerable ' couples swung round and round to the music of the orchestra. EL Here and there in the midst of this whirl there were couples who chatted and smiled and seemed to enjoy the music and rhythm of the movement. But the majority of those on the floor seemed to take the matter seriously, and their faces, almost ghastly in the white light, expressed anything but pleasure Around the sides of the room there was unconstrained movement and chatter and laughter, in strange contrast with the serious silence of the dancers. On the long veranda outside, facing the sea, other couples were prom- enading up and down or were seated in the shadows of the great columns, and the lowmurmur of their conversation seemed to answer the swish and splash of the ocean, not a hundred yards away. The beach with its clean, shining white sand, the long board promenade, and the observatories, so crowded during the day with bathers and sight-seers, are now strangely deserted, except for the occasional couple at long intervals on the promenade or seated on the sand or in the shadows of the pier. Far out on the horizon to the east could be seen the twinkling lights of an oceangoing steamer, and the dense column of smoke poured from her funnels. Among the promenaders on the beach was one couple that had wan- dered far down the board walk, away from the usual evening haunts of lovers. They appeared very much absorbed in their own affairs, as they did not greet their acquaintances among the few passersby, and the subject of their discourse could not have been a pleasant one, for their tones had an angry tinge. The young woman, who might be anywhere from eighteen to twenty- two years old, was no willowy, sylphlike creature, but was of medium height and well rounded form, not inclined to stoutness. Her eyes and hair were black, and her complection dark Her features were regular, and, while her face was not what would be called beautiful, yet it was one of those faces over which the light and shadow of quick-changing emotions chase one another rapidly and give to it something better than mere beauty-attrao tiveness. I-Ier companion was a young man of about her own age, tall, muscular, and altogether a line-looking figure in spite of his ridiculous evening coat. His features were clean cut, his jaw massive, his lips Hrm, his ,eye piercing but kindly. That is, you would say that his eyes were usually kindly in expression, but just now they had a light in them that, while it could not be called ugly, showed that their possessor was not in an equable state of mind. Now, don't be silly, Tom, said the girl, with a little tantalizing, unpleasant laugh, you are absurdly unreasonable with me. I have given you no cause to speak to me as you have done. No cause, Nell, said the young man, slowly and bitterly, I don't know what you would call a sufficient cause, but I feel that I have cause enough. Well, what have I done of which you have any right to complain P Now, it is not necessary, Nell, that I should go over the whole cata- logue again, said Tom, we have gone over it often enough the last few days. It is enough that I mention the fact that you have flirted outrageously with that contemptible puppy, Martin, ever since I came here a week ago today, and ever since you came here, I have no doubt. Mr. Dakin, said the girl, sternly, I don't Hitt, and Mr Martin is no puppy, but a gentleman who knows better than some men I know, how to treat a lady. You don't flirt, Miss Crowl, said the young man sarcastically, why your conduct with this-a-man has been called such by every one who has observed it. And as to his not being a puppy, you know his reputation, it is not necessary that I should speak of it further. l should be ashamed to do so in your presence or in the presence of anyone I respect. H Mr. Dakin, replied the girl with dignity, you have been associat- ing with gossips. My conduct toward Mr. Martin can not truthfully be called Hirting. I have accepted attentions from him, as any young woman has a right to dog and his conduct toward me has been that of a perfect gentleman. Besides you are not my guardian and have no right to lecture me, if I choose to accept ordinary courtesies from young men. No right, Nell. Why what do you mean ? Have you forgotten that we have grown up together from childhood with the understanding that I should one day make you my wife? Have you not always encouraged me in this thought? Did you ever, until you met this man six months ago, intimate that you repented the promise of your childhood ? Now, that's silly, Tom, she replied, 'tto bring up what we said and promised when we were children. I like you yet, at least I do when you are reasonable, but I resent your interference with my right to speak to whom I please. Besides, sir, you have not been so devoted that you have any right to lecture me. Why, Nell, in what way have I ever shown my lack of devotion? To whom have I ever shown the slightest attentions but to you? Why, you know that I have been accused of being too distant in my relations with other girls and too devoted to you. How about that Nevens girl? she asked. That Nevens girl, he echoed, why Nell. Now you are unreason- able. You know I never showed her anything but the most ordinary courtesy, and even then it was your suggestion, and because she was your friend that I did it. No, you are seeking an excuse for your own perfidy, Miss Crowl, when you throw this at me. You have made up your mind to cast me off to break your plighted word to me, to disappoint my dearest hopes. Nell, I could almost hate you-almost curse you. Mr. Deakin, said the girl, coldly, will you please take me back to the hotel? Yes, I will in a moment, but I want to say something serious to you before we return. Nell-I can't give up that old name just yet-we must settle this matter before we return to the hotel. I leave for home in the morning in response to a telegram from my father, who is seriously ill This is the last chance I shall get to talk to you before I go. It will be hard to have to give you up, but the sooner I know that I must, the better. Nell, Nell, remember all the happy days we have passed in our old home town, our school-days and the holidays we have spent together, think of your promise then, of your promises since we have grown up, and choose now, Nell, as you think of all these, between me, with whom all these things are associated, and another, whom you have known but a few months. Nell, you must decide now, my mind is made up, I can endure it no longer. The girl had dropped his arm and was standing a little removed, digging her shoe into the soft, white sand. They were both silent for a few minutes. The wash of the waves on the sand a few yards away and the murmur of distant conversation and laughter were the only sounds that reached them. As the young man stood there looking upon her with a swelling heart, he imagined he saw a tear fall to the sand at her feet. K'Nell, must I give you up? Have you no word of hope for me? Which shall it be, Nell, this man or me? You, Tom, she answered, faintly. And may I count you always, always mine? Yes, Tom. Oh, Nell. The steamer's lights have disappeared down to the southward, and only a band of smoke remains along the horizon to tell of her late presence. In the distance is the murmur of voices, and near at hand the' rustle of the eternal sea. , DEATH OF THE FISHERWIFE. Down on the summer-morning's sea Floated my white-winged, fleet-winged bark, Gladly it Huttered, the foolish wind muttered: And clear as the sky, o'er the ocean-kissed lea, Rang the rich 1-lute-note of the mated lark. Out on the summer-evening's sea Rested the anxious eye of love Tearfully peering, hopefully fearing, And wondering, Wondering where it might be,- Where it might tarry-that ship-that love. Wail of the summer sea at night, Scourged by the tempest's wrath a11d rage:- Petulant moaning, fearfully groaning:- O Sea! and O Tempest-O ship in thy flight! Songless my heart as my lark in its cage. Never came back my Heet-winged bark- Never came back n1y heart, my heart. Down in the sea gloom,-deep in the keel-tomb Asleep with my love, with my love in his bark, Never to wake-was my heart, my heart. Once, o'er the summer sea there came Sweetly a song I heard beforeg Happily trilling, heavenly thrillingg That song of the sea-wind enkindled a flame'- But it is burning no more, no more. Honey was found in sockets of bone, Once where the Wave had cast its deadg Bees had devoted the dome where was rooted The eye,-the keen, spirit-full eye of my own, Own everlost, never-dying,-dead. . LOW in the sod 'neath vernal green, Sleep the white bones we found that dayg- There where the Howers, in soft fragrant bowers Keep watch by the tombs, near the ivies that screen,- Screen the blank tower, so cold, so gray. Hark!-at my door-a step draws near- Coming for me-for me-I fearg What! am I dreaming? is this but a seeming?- O God! is this Death-is this Death that I hear? Death-is it thou-is it thou-so near?- N03 'tis not Deathg in life I died. Nog it is thou my love, returned, Cheerily hailing me, gently unveiling The day of the love realm for which I have sighed - The realm of the love-day for which I have yearned. Floating-I'm floating: where's the sea?- Lift up my head-my fleet-winged bark- Swiftly 'tis sailing- for me it is sailing '- For me it is sailing- Oh! sailing for me.- Love! I will go- I will go- love- hark! Calm is the summer morning seag Calm is the breast that loved this taleg Drearily tolling, the deep music rolling Of chimes that are weeping far o'er the lea. Death- is it?- Nog 'tis love lifting the veil. ALUM '96 3513'- O ':' xl! 5, .. 1. THE QUESTION. One:-without a counter-partg- And loneliness is pain. One,-without another heart To whisper back its love again- Shall one be one forever, And share its love-wealth never?- 2. THE ANSWER. Two: I knew the secret long- For two in one is heaven- There is no everlasting wrong, There is no note thatls rashly riven From consonance of sweetness That crowns a 1ife's completeness. --JAY TILF be East of jfire. The land was dry and parched. Months grew to years And yet no rain or dew had brought relief. Sore-pressed with famine, gaunt and hollow-eyed, The Israelitish people, steeped in sin, Must pass in awful misery the days. What mattered if the children called for bread When there was none to give? The sun-baked earth Refused to yield the grain. Aye, hard it was To see the mother clasp the precious form Of a loved infant to her breast in death, While by the bier the haggard father stood In grief too deep for tears. But why this scene Of grim despair and desolation sore? But one brief word will tell the fearful tale- IDOLATRY. Oh, sad that awful state NVheu man must be accursed for worshiping The work of his own hands. And yet e'en now This glittering, gilded chain hangs round the necks Of hordes of mortals. But the king, hard pressed For want of food, sends out his messengers To seek the hoary prophet, and, forsooth, To wreak his insane fury on the form Of one grown gray in service to his race. 66 if lf? At last Elijah comes before the king And makes of him a passing strange request. Bring forth your prophets, Ahab, on yon mount, And gather there your priests. The test of tire Will answer who shall be the I-Iebrew's god. And so 'twas done. Upon the mountain-top Baal's prophets gathered, and priests of the groves, While up and down the slopes of Carmel ranged The waiting people. NVho should be their god? Let heaven answer, if Jehovah yet His people loved. But list! A death-like hush Falls like a mourning shroud upon the scene. No murmur breaks the stillness, till the sound Of heathen chanting strikes upon the airg Now gentle, like the breeze among the leaves That lulls the forest songsters into sleep, Then rising into power, like storm-tossed waves In dreadful fury beating on the rocks. Slow creeps the sun on highg 'tis noon, and yet No answering fire consumes their sacrifice. Loud rings Elijah's voice in tones of scorn: Call louder, priests, rnayhaps he is asleep, Or hath departed to some distant land! Made frantic by these taunts, with keen-edged knives The heathen prophets in mad frenzy draw Their own life-blood, until the sward is red. SC- ii- 6+ Then at the time of evening sacrifice Once more Elijah speaks: It is enough. Bring hither stonesg I will an altar build Unto the living God. And it was done. The sacrifice is killed, and over all, To make the test more sure, he orders them, To empty water till a trench is filled. And then he prays. Once more a solemn hush Falls over the vast throng. Their longing eyes Are fastened on the altar, at whose side The man of God is kneeling now, alone. His attitude sends through their shrunken souls And yet more shrunken bodies a wild thrill Of some unknown joyg the very atmosphere Seems laden with a hope almost fulfilled. There is no tumult now, no frenzied shout Nor vain self-torture in this solemn hour. God of our fathers -thus the prophet spake- Let it this day be known that thou art God And that I serve thee, that at thy behest I have done all thes: things. Let Israel know That thou hast turned their wandering hearts again Into thy way. Oh, what a mighty prayer! Each soul-filled word fell on the listening ears Like strange, sweet music from a hidde11 bell At eventide-just as the curfew's chime Invites the Weary wand'rer home to rest. It was enough. Upon the altar dropped jeliovah's answering fire. The tongues of flame Not only burned that sacred sacrifice But fed upon the stones, and e'en the dust About the altar vanished up in smoke. Then like a mighty wind rang forth the shout That shook the mount to its foundation stones- Hjehovah, he is God! and answering back Like distant echo from the vaulted heavens- Jehovah, he is God! and Jordan's wave In rippling melody repeated o'er the sound. And in that evening's hour the moon's great orb, Queen of the growing night, star-seutiueled, Saw IiiSi10l'l'S brook run red with heathen blood. ST. R. A STORM AT SEA. I. Rage ye wind! Howl ye tempest! Rise ye mighty wave, Till thou comest up to heaven And the stars dost lave! Swell ye waters, snow-capped ocean! Demons of the deep, Clench your forces! Press pour cordons 'Round ye as ye sleep! Sea-Gulls, scream! Fishes, battle In your ocean home! Seek your rest deep in the waters-- In the bottomts loam! Rocks that rise above thy bosom, Ocean, they must be Washed and pounded by the forces Of a storm at sea! III. Clear the decks! The hatches down? Down below my friend! Trim the foresail! Dro the boom, there, P Quick! you see it bend. Thus the master of the steamer Tries to guard those lives, All of them to him entrusted: Mothers, sisters, wives. Men there are, too, 'mong the creatures Trembling down below ln their staterooms, in the salon, Faces white as snow. Weepiiig women, men, and children, All with bended knee, W'ait with terror for the ending Of the storm at sea. V. Now the ocean nymphs of Neptune 'Waken him from sleep. Now he lifts his placid head On the bosom of the deepg lVith his trident calms the waters, Soothes the raging waves: Who can tell how many creatures In his power to save? Raging wind and howling tempest Seek their cavern home, Now old Sol the stars disperses From the heavenly dome. Gentle Zephyr makes appearance, Gentle as can be, On the waters, last night raging In the storm at sea. Il. Seest thou not, far in the distance, Lights a-glimmering bright? Is't a beacon or a light-house Casting forth the light? Is't but a jack-o'-lantern, A mirage on the deep? It must be so-what will not show lVhen day is not asleep, But, no, not so! No mirage that- lllusion of the sight! It shows too well, and glimmers thro The darkness of the night. No mirage, not a beacon light? Pray what can it be? A mighty steamer fights its battle In the storm at sea. IV On the deck, the brave old skipper And his trusty crew, Are doing all within the power Of valiant hearts to do Onward still the ship is driven, On before the wind Sails the huge majestic steamer, Princess of its kind. Bare are masts, and scudded sails, Hatches battened down, Pumps at work, the scuppers dripping, Captain with a frown. From the winds and waves she lurches To windward and to lee, But she sails on, as if winged, Thro' the storm at sea. VI O'er the waters, born by breezes Filling out each sail, Glides the ocean-bird, a leaving Ripples in her trail. By every tongue, from high to lowest, Is expressed the sense Of gratitude to that brave captain, For his brave defenseg But for him and his grand sailors Thro' that awful night, They would not have seen that morning, Unnsually bright, But the brave old skipper answered: Give no prai-e to me You were saved by One more potent, From the storm at sea. R. L. S , '02 C1796 'inhilosopby of Stud , ENR? fy? - HE true sphere of the student is unique. Before him are laid the facts QTL. Mi: treasured from the thinking minds of many generations. VVhether he will U E merely read these records and perhaps remember them, or whether he will I - .JM 'V , assimilate them as a part of his genuine knowledge, depends upon the ten- dency and development of the individual. He who is a shallow rambler l?y,TQf,'Q,,ff ,.' merely may glance through scores of books, and yet, in the end, remain a Y Ii ':- shallow babbler. To study requires first of all a thorough attention and -Q B apperception, and with them a close application of the resoning powers, 1 , aided throughout the process by the work of memory with its stored-up truths and maxims. The term K' study 'V' may be applied primarily to the contemplation of facts as attained by other men. It has, even in this sense, a two-fold bearing. In the cases of the minor philosophic studies, its application refers more commonly to a simple reading and memor- izing of the essential points of a subject. Under this category we might mention the studies of history, as it is commonly understood, physiology, and geography. The training of children in public schools is largely a system of memory work, and, indeed, dare not be much more. Gradually, the range of teaching extends to such branches as require more thought, and, with a proper development, the pupil will be introduced more and more into the field of higher thinking. The complete unfolding 'of the reasoning faculty will be sure to come with application and practice, and in the course of its development will give evi- dence of its essential nature in profundity and clearness. Again, the term study may be applied to such branches as demand nothing but close investigation and thought. The life of the academic student should be the gradual evolution of these mind-forces. The study of languages is very helpful, almost necessary, to the attainment of this end. Besides attaining a good knowledge of the characteristics of speech, the student finds in it the happy power of modifying and moulding the contempla- tive mind. The studies of the lower departments of learning now come to attach a new requirement to the reader, that of understanding. Sadly, some young men and some young women never reach even this, the first stage in true education. In the collegiate course should come a still further unfolding of the reason, and here the class-room work should be exclusively of a thoughtful nature. The proper pursuance of even common school branches should be deemed of this character, and where there appears a lack of understanding in the lower pupil, the instructor should be so competent as to express in plain language what is really deep in its essential nature. We believe such a method will create interest, and instill a desire for higher knowledge. The ability of a student should be measured by his thought- product, and this, in turn, by the progress which he has made, as well as by the useful conclusions reached. So far, however, the man of study may be merely reading and under- standing the expressions of other minds, and his work, accordingly, may contain nothing new, but be merely an assimilation of the products of others. a The thought as recorded in the history of other men should be merely the foundation on which to raise new and loftier structures. In the future will be manifest many new facts which the human mind should be able to read, otherwise there can be no progressg for every advancement must be the finished product of clear-cut thought, unless we believe in chance or stagnation, and if We do, retrogression must be the final outcome. The human mind even today is siniply learning to read the expressed consciousness of the men who toiled long ago, and much of the history, philosophy, and religion of the past remains to be fathomed by crudite thinkers. All science and philosophy teaches that the full truth has not yet been reached, and that for the inquisitive, zealous mind still higher achievements are possible for years to come. Even down to our own time men have not understood either themselves or their fellowmen, whether taken individually or in their social relations. These relations embodied in the daily intercourse of countless individual beings, in groups or by the multitudes, are unknown in their reality even to the wisest. Each new invention or discovery is not the creation of something absolutely new, but simply the understanding of the old in new relations and combinations. It is the function of the reason to grasp more of the fundamental nature of things, and then to apply this knowledge to dehnite progress and advancement. Mind is the ruling force of mankind, and through its oiiice of study the aiiairs of the world will be changed and the light of truth will touch and remould the beliefs of the ages. Thought must be progressive. It would be foolish for us to hold that there can be no such thing as a gradual evolution of the reasoning standard of mind as a whole. Time moves forward and we must move with itg there is no such thing as standing still in any plane of existence. There is no doubt that the annals of the past show a gradual rise in the affairs of the World, and what is not a result simply of the laws of physical nature must have the express stamp of the human will. We believe there is an upward movement, and that so long as this movement is in harmony with truth, the sciences and dogmatic theories of men must follow its course. There is such a thing as a harmony of all the branches of knowledge, and so long as the bounds of proof are not overrun, the purpose of our repre- sentatives of these different phases of learning should be to maintain a parallelism of progress, and an interrelation of moving factors. In conclusion, we wish to make a general statement of the value of genuine study in our educational work. The practice of reflection carefully applied in academic courses and even in lower schools has the incalculable value of moulding a tendency to look on the affairs of life, not simply as the untutored man, but as an investigator of the cause and pur- pose of events. Too many of our young people neglect this development, and when they have reached manhood they will feel the lack of proper training or application in former days. The world demands men of brains, and these can come only from the ranks of those who have grown in their thinking powers and habits from their youth. The student of the world does not appear on the scene with a gift of well-developed thinking, but he is, as such, the product of his own energy and application, and in him must rest the hope of the future.

A band of Freshman, bold and gay, Went out to the woods one warm May day, To gather flowers, so they say, For they were studying Botany. A scout mosquito saw tl1em come And to his comrades quick did hum And gave command to beat the drum And rouse to arms Mosquitodom. The unsuspecting Freshies came, Boldly strutting with haughty frame, Each escorting a Freshie dame,- I would, but cannot give by name. The insects all had taken their stand In a spot where no cool breezes fanned, But close and hot, in muddy land, VVhere flowers grew thick and hid their band No sooner had a Freshman spied This bed of flowers, than up he cried: Come, classmates all, from far and wide, For here are flowers on every side! Obedient to the summons, all Rushed quickly to the place of call, And on their knees, they soon did fall To dig for flowers, though weeds were tall. Alas! the mud they had not seen, And so it spoiled their trousers clean, Then all the girls cried: O it's mean! And all the boys they looked so green. But while they stood in altercation, Bewailing loud the situation, The band of bugs, in indignation, Sallied forth with imprecation. Each company led by captain brave, Surrounded a Freshman and battle gaveg The Freshies then began to rave, And wished, ere this, theyld seen their grave Their handsome faces, before so ruddy, Now were made to look quite bloody, Their clothes and shoes were all so muddy, They strongly censured the flowery study. They then did turn their heels in Bight And fled and sobbed with all their might. The girls all said it served them right, For leaving them in such a plight. And now when Freshman girls do go Out to the woods a mile or so, Each takes a Junior for a beau, For ilzey do not desert them so.
