A college president has some questions more perplexing to solve than has the Governor of a great state, to manage things effi- ciently and without friction needs a higher order of executive ability than has even the chief executive of the state. So spoke recently the editor of a local paper. The various talents needed in a person who stands at the head of a great college makes the choice of a college president a very difficult matter. Ten years ago a committee of the trustees of Hillsdale College was seeking a person for president of the school. No special emer- gency had arisen, no crisis seemed near at hand, yet it was felt by all that the need was for a man of broad and liberal culture, a person who, upon the platform and among men, would represent favorably a great college interest, a person who is fully abreast of modern thought, and yet so wise in counsel as to be safe in the midst of both the progressives and conservatives. Among other persons brought to the attention of the committee was a man educated at Bowdoin College, for some years the editor of a denominational paper, a man having held various ofhcial positions--at home, in the state legis- lature, a consul in France, then in Germany. After careful investi- gation and mature deliberation, Hon George Frank Mosher was invited to the presidency of the college. He, in time, accepted. After nearly ten years of actual service, the wisdom of the choice has been made fully apparent. Some of Pres. Mosher's strong points are as follows: CID He is a man who largely keeps his own counsel, while in important questions, always seeking the judgment of the best informed persons, and ever ready to accept any and all proper suggestions, after carefully weighing the evidence, he de- pends upon himself chiefly for the decision. The personal advice and suggestions of all friends are kept in strictest confidence, and no busy-bodiesm ever succeed in securing from him any idea of the ' 7 views of his confidential advisers. Qfzj He has skill in securing cooperation in the plans he-desires carried out: aptness in adjusting differences of opinion, and tact in avoiding friction. Some schools are unpleasantly advertised because the public has knowledge of many of the cases of college discipline. While Hillsdale has had for years an exceptional class of young men and women, yet some cases of discipline have been necessary. These have been managed so judiciously, so kindly, so courageously, that a wholesome effect has been felt in the school, and yet the details of management are quite unknown, and no one has been unnecessarily humiliated, nor his friends unpleasantly advertised. Yery few people, even those closely connected with the college, have a true idea of the adjust- ments that 'are made and the discipline administered in quiet. Q31 He has clearness of vision, keen discernment, and wise counsel. Few men are able to attend well to petty details of work, and also to maintain a liberal judgment in great undertakings. In trustee and presidential committee meetings, in faculty meeting, in caucus and convention. some well-balanced men seem sometimes to lose their ,usual discernment, but Pres. Mosher has won a reputation for being clear-headed and safe, and his words always command the closest attention and highest respect. Q45 He has strong, clear. sensible thought in written address and platform utterance. Wfhen he writes or speaks, he always says something, and when he has said iz, he stops. Q5D His general appearance upon all public occasions is that of a man of culture, of business, of executive ability. The college is honored wherever the president appears in public. Q62 His social qualities are of that peculiar sort that in administrative work, on reception occasions, in general social gatherings, all those in his presence feel at once at ease, and ready for the occasion. Never insincere, seldom demonstrative, always self-possessed, he represents the best quality of social virtues. Such are some of the characteristics of the president of Hillsdale College. Liberally endowed by Nature, a careful and close student, familiar with the best life of America and Europe, Pres. Mosher has given the school the best ten years of his life. May the college he blessed with another decade of his efficient service! 8 JBom'D of TIIISIGQS. HON. GEORGE F. MOSHER, LL.D., Chairman. E LON G. REYNOLDS, A.

Q S O write a book is a comparatively easy thing. To write one worthy of public perusal is an entirely different matter. Among the first things to be considered in the reading of a work is the measure of its originality and the purpose it is supposed to serve in the world of letters. If the originality of the Work be evident, and its purpose be just and good, then it should not be wholly set at naught. If these conditions do not to a marked degree enter into the make-up of the work, it is unworthy of consideration, -especially by the present college man or woman. So long as change and departure from formalisms are productive of beneficial results, so long should they be encouraged and their existence sustained. The initial volume of the lVolverine,' is a new departure in college journalism at Hillsdale College. It is meant to be of benefit to the college as a whole, and not an exponent of any feeling or partisanship. Loyalty to our beloved institution has been the watch- word of the class of iQ7, and to give that feeling a reality, the present volume makes its appearance. lfVe believe sudden changes are not to be encouraged, but when a certain venture or experience has been tested satisfactorily, we believe the college on the hill ought to recognize such. In some other institutions of learning Annuals have for years been issued, and are almost indispensible to the student side of college life. So it is that Hillsdale should be abreast of the times in this respect. To succeeding classes will largely devolve the honor of maintaining an annual or the dishonor of allowing its publication to cease. Doubtless many mistakes have been made, and some may feel that certain things might better have been left unsaid, but we only ask that our faults may be overlooked and our errors be interpreted in. the light of charity. l7Vith a firm belief in the wisdom of those who have urged us to make the venture, the 'fNVolverine is sent on its Way, with the hope that it will serve to amuse, inform and instruct.

Hillsdale College is not a bad example of the evolution theory. lts germ was the old Spring' Arbor Seminary, wliicli lirst appeared in the town of that name in 1844. It was soon changed to Michigan Central College, and has been developing' ever since. lt was soon found that the town of Spring' Arbor was too small and too incon- veniently located to satisfy the ambition of the institutiong so it was moved to Hillsdale and recliartered under its present name in 1855. lts first term opened in tlie autumn of that year, and it lias main- tained an unbroken existence since that time. Among' its students at Spring ., , .9 5 Arbor was tlie late General Clin- ton B. Fiske, a brave soldier and ' izlmiini reformer, and General lasper N761 . . , ' , Packard.

The most of its endowment has been gathered in small sums, and while the increase has not been rapid it has been constant. A report made to the Board of Trustees in 1895 shows that in the decade 1855-65 it had arisen from o to S4S,III.Q6Q in the next ten years the increase was S39,987.41g in the next ten the increase was 850,388.18 and in the last ten years, ending June 1, 1895, it was 391,669.89 Its present endowment fund is 3230,- 107.35, manifestly a small sum considering the large and varied work that the modern college must do. The greatest calamity that has ever befallen the college was the tire in March, 1874, which destroyed nearly all its plant. Previous to that time the buildings were practically under one roof, and the dormitory system prevailed for both boys and girls. In re-building, the group plan was determined upon, and its various halls or build- ings are now known as College Hall, Griffin, Knowlton, East and Fine Arts Halls. The gymnasium is also on the campus, but the college church is one block south of it. Educationally the college has always aimed to keep in line with true progress. In this respect its history divides itself into three periods, which Prof. Haynes, a former member of our faculty, but 22 now in the State University of Minnesota, designates as the period of 'fold methods, the transition period, and the period of new methodsf' By the old method, Writes Prof. Haynes, is meant that method by which each student was required to take the same course of study, and in which there were no electives permitted and no laboratory work required, or at least but very little-the course was a sort of Procrustean bedstead, and the teaching, however corn- mendable in many instances, gave little scope for the development ofthe individual student in the direction in which he might be most ff, . 5 1 .

But the educators of those days did noble work in spite of these handicaps, and impressed upon their pupils their splendid personality in a degree hardly possible with the present methods. However, the progress of science and the demands of the times have revolutionized both our methods and means of instruction. This new or modern method may be aptly termed the laboratory method. It seeks to make every student an investigator, and sur- 23 rounds him with every facility for encouraging him in the develop- ment of his individuality in lines by which it seems most probable he will succeed. lt recognizes individual tastes and heredityg it discountenances the idea of trying to use a single mold in shaping the human mind: it seeks to intelligently dirvrf rather than to load the student. The old method brought the student face to face with a man 3 the new brings him face to face with the Great Teacher-God. W'ere a time limit to be placed upon these periods in the col- lege, it would be approximately correct to say the first period ended with the last administration of Dr. Graham, the period of transition began with that of Dr. Durgin, and that the new method has been steadily growing under the presidency of Dr. Mosher, until it has become the prevailing method. ' The list of the college alumni includes the names of many able men and women in missionary service, in the ministry, in. literature. teaching, law, medicine and politics. XYill Carleton and Rose Hart- wick Thorpe are not unknown to fame. Congressman Hopkins, of lllionois, is a man of intluence in national affairs. -ludge Moore. of the Michigan Supreme Court, finds worthy colleagues in ,fudge .ll T. Hoke, of Yirginia, and -ludge M. B. Koon, of Minneapolis. ln teaching, says the secretary of the college in an article in the Morning Star, nearly fifty have occupied professorships in leada ing colleges and universities in more than a dozen states, and several have been presidents of such institutions. Joseph XY. Mauck, LL. D., '75, is now president of South Dakota University, and Rev. Ll. R. H. Latchaw, D. D., '81, was for years president of Findlay Col- lege, of Findlay. O. The lamented Hiram Collier, LL. D., '64, was professor in colleges at Hillsdale and Indiana. Pa.. and at his death in the state university at Lincoln, Neb. Bela P. Maclioon, A.

E., i7O, is professor of mathematics and astronomy in the University of Minnesota, and Arthur E. Haynes, M. Ph., 375, is assistant professor of mathematics in the same institution. Twelve have been invited from first to last 24 to remain in the faculty of their alum 111c1lv1', several of whom have been called to more lucrative positions elsewhere. Rev. I. S. Copp. D. D.. '69, S. XY. Norton, A. M., '82, and Chas. H. Gurney, A. M., '73, have been successfully nominated hy the alumni and elected by the trustees alumni professor of helles-lettres in Hillsdale Col- lege. Manifestly the details of the history of the college are not called for here. lt regards its chief call to exist to he the need of offering facilities of a first-class liberal education, not only under Christian auspices, but on terms that should hring such an education within the means of every willing and industrious boy and girl. lts courses of instruction include worlc in the preparatory, academic, theolog- ical, musical, art, elocutionary and military departments. In the academic department classical, scientific, literary and pedagogical courses are offered. Investigation is encouraged, not only by sug- gesting its own rewards, but by offering prizes in literature, mathe- matics, and French. The college l1as only just begun to make its history. lt expects to he several hundred :years in completing it. ln all its departments the college aims at doing conscientious and efficient work. Teachers' training classes are a specialty. Young people wanting preparation for the practical worlc of life are cordially invited to Hillsdale, with eonhdence that they may get value received. 5 Qalehakal TRGV. lREll'l5Ol11 ELITII1, E. E. ln attempting to sketch the life and influence of Dr. Dunn, we scarce know what to say, so far-reaching has been his influence and so marked has been the imprint of his personality upon the his- tory of the Free Baptist denomination. At the age of twelve years he embraced Christianity, and since that time his voice has been heard, exhorting men to a higher standard of Christian morality in all grades of society. The corn- mon people, as well as the richer and more highly cultured, have listened to his eloquence and have been moved to pursue pure and noble lives. Being a descendant of a race strong and robust, he inherited a clear and acute mindg an intense purpose Whichrknows no defeat. To these were early added those eternal truths that later developed into a Christian life and character, which, with all its richness and intense yearning for good toward mankind, has been freely given to the world. In View of these facts we wonder not at the place he has won in the hearts and estimation of all who know him. Pre-eminently he is a soldier of the cross. Yet Why do we eulogize? 'Why do we multiply words? To be first in the hearts of a christian people, is not this the grandest monument to one's christian life and character? However, it is not our province to speak of Dr. Dunn in his relation to the people alone, but also in his relation to the students. In 1852 Dr. Dunn became connected with Hillsdale, and since that time he has served as President of our college, pastor of the college church, and in 1863 he was elected to the Burr Professorship of Systematic Theology. ln 1888 he was transferred to the DeVVolf Professorship of Homoletics. His life among the students has ever been elevating, and no one has ever sat in his classes who has not caught some of the inspiration of this devoted life. His students instinctively feel that they are in the presence of a man who has the deepest interest in their success, and one who has given, and is still giving, his best energies, that they may in a just and noble manner profit thereby. Wfith him we find none of the stiff conventionality of the ordi- nary class room, and we come to him as to a father for advice and instruction. It is but a faint tribute of respect and gratitude that we pay Dr. Dunn here: for he has brought to this college a life frought with the rich experience of years, and from its students, numbered by hun- dreds, grateful and sincere thanks arise. 26 jfinancial values of Tbillsbale Glollege. RANSOBI DUNN, D. D. In hlanuary, 1853, when Hillsdale was first visited with reference to its advantages for the location of a college, its population was about 800, with nearly 150 dwellings, one school-house and two small wooden churches. There was one railroad with several barn- like warehouses, with a small ticket office in the corner of one of them instead of a depot. These buildings had just been rendered useless by the change of business upon the completion of the railroad farther west. The population is now 5,000, with atleast one thous- and dwellings, worth more than 31,500,000 above the value of the homes possessed in 1853. There are now four ward school-houses and one high school building, which together are worth at least eighteen times as much as the original school house, and the two original churches were certainly worth less than one-eighteenth of the value of the eight churches now owned and occupied. The south part of the village, where the high school building now stands, was covered with shrubbery, irregularly marked by cattle paths. The north part was a sheep pasture, worth from ten to twenty dollars an acre. One road, now Hillsdale street, extending through the horrible marsh north of the original village, was the only street, upon what is now college hill, where there then was one small house, the native trees standing upon one-half of the surface and the stumps left of trees but recently removed upon the other half. Only two native trees are left upon the 2:-acre campus, but, thanks to the students and their friends, many better ones now ornament the grounds. These grounds, with the buildings, apparatus, fur- niture, libraries, etc.,-are worth 3150,000, and, although not taxed for municipal purposes, really is the most profitable property in the city for the support of its business. It is the occasion, if not the cause, of the assembling here of more than six hundred students and teachers and their friends, who expend upon an average for tuition, incidentals, books, board, rents, clothing, etc., more than four dollars per week. Not all of this SI20,000 is expended in I-lillsdale, but most of it is, and it is safe to expect the expenditure of over 375,000 each year in this city by those directly connected with Q7 the college, in addition to what is expended by those attracted to this location, who, but for the college, would live elsewhere. The growth of Hillsdale city since 1853 cannot be attributed exclusively to its college. but in view of its lack of water power, manufacturing enterprises, mining interests and opportunities for speculation, we must conclude that the college has been the cause of at least one-half of its steady growth. lf one-half of its public prohts could be turned into the college itself it would increase its funds more than one mil- lion of dollars. But even the financial value of the college is largely a matter of individual experience. Actions caused by animal instinct have about the same merit as the animals. Knowledge and mental power if- the great work of the college, and every fact learned, and every degree of mental power acquired increases ability for the increase ol personal or public values financially, as well as otherwise. Even the most simple manual labor may be performed with higher mo- tives, more ease, and greater success by educated man than by others. And in proportion as the mental elements enter into human actions do they become valuable to society and profitable to the actor. Divinity, Law and Medicine, once termed the learned pro- fessions, have ceased to be the only ones deserving of that appella- tion. Soldiers and statesmen, teachers and editors, poets and mu- sicians, sculptors and architects, manufacturers and merchants, scientists and philosophers, are now just as devoted to their profes- sions, and need quite as much learning as clergymen, lawyers or doctors. Mental labor is quite as useful as manual labor, and re- ceives compensation accordingly. Learning and education is valu- able capital, whether used judiciously or not. A man may own a gold mine and never use it, or millions of bank stock and use it to his injury. So one may possess much unemployed mental power and suffer for what he might acquire, or apply his knowledge without moral principle and be only a learned fool. Or he may employ his education in the most simple labor profitably to himself and others. Or he may use his education for more general purposes, with cor- responding salaries or consequences. lt is undoubtedly true that one-half of all the past students of Hillsdale College have found their education profitable Hnancially, and at least Eve thousand are at work where their education is indispensibly necessary: and that 28 quite a large number are rich by the use of attainments there secured. eHow much owest thou, my Lord? Of course, no mathematical statistics can be given upon this subject: but it is the belief of the writer after an acquaintance with the institution from the first, that but very few of the 12,000 who havebeen students of Hillsdale College are now living without some financial profits from that source, and that there are now in the possession of those students more than 351,200,000 which will never be used or needed for the personal com- forts of life. Not only is the college of financial value to the public and its students, but to the friends of these students. There are hundreds and thousands who are better situated and richer because of the college life of students in time past, and this will continue and in- crease as the years go by, and posterity will be richer as well as better by the experience of ancestors in Hillsdale College. But all these financial values must be considered in their rela- tions to higher ends. The material universe was created for mind. and all values become yalueless if not ultimately appropriated for the development and culture of the mind, and the satisfaction of its wants. The first demand of the intellect is knowledge, the first demand of the affection is society or associates, and the first demand of the conscience is law and duty. VVhatever meets these intuitive, continuous and eternal demands of the mind constitute the true riches. Financial values are only investments in the supreme work of mental and moral culture. Stocks in business corporations are not estimated by the millions invested-and perhaps lost-but by the success in reference to ultimate ends. The real value of colleges and universities are not to be estimated by the magnitude of build- ings or endowments, but by the increase of mental power and moral force. If Hillsdale College has done as much for the good of the world as similar institutions, in proportion to investments of time and money, its friends have no reason to complain. But if, as firmly believed by those best acquainted with its work, it has accomplished much more for the increase of intelligence. mental force and moral culture, in proportion to its means and labor, than other schools upon an average from highest to lowest, then may its friends rejoice and with renewed energy put forth still greater efforts in their noble work. 29 !II5embe1vs of the Senior 612155. 1 HV ,vfv I .WWW - F., L ' Si . .5 ,-if ' 'EE'f2E'. 1-2555539 .,., , 31' s 'Ny' +.-q,x.kf.:gfs.'v ? ,- ' .M -'TiZG5,?1f:!q: M' I, ,ZLEHT- :'?1 Pg., Q 'N'-'Pg-:jg4A, ,:,z:gz:5vg33 7.40 :-ff .

In September, that autumn month when golden-rod and purple asters are blooming along fragrant hedge-rows, and the flaming asters of the fire-weed blaze amid tall grasses, there appears also the perennial Freshman class of Hillsdale College. In 1893, the bril- liant year when all the world flocked to America to vie with her in pleasant competition and study her wonderful institutions and rapid growth, the inspiration of this concentration of the mental vigor of all lands, carried to and fro by many messengers, was felt in many places remote from the one great centre. It was perhaps partly owing to this cause that our Freshmen of that year entered into the study of the secrets of science, literature and art with hearts and minds determined to know fully of the mysteries before them. In- deed, we were so quiet and studious that some watchedlus doubt- fully, feeling that our silence bodcd evil. It was these suspicious spirits, who, when we were gathered for consultation in Number XXII, thought seriously and actively of tying us in, thus preventing the imagined outbreakg but our wise policy evaded this disgrace and perceiving our peaceable spirit and the orderly way in which we went about our work, all doubt as to our character was removed, and we were welcomed into the student body without showing testimonials or references. VVe soon found in the class of ninety-five. true friends and allies, and to show our appreciation of this fact, we invited them one even- ing to meet us at the pleasant home of one of our members, that we might introduce to them our chosen class colors. But now we were to experience the jealousy of college students, for while only one class was invited, all the rest attended. some even trying to keep the invited guests away, and we were finally compelled to take a couple ofthe most aggressive prisoners as a warning to the rest. After this we had little trouble, and in pity UD for the captives we brought them into the festive company later in the evening and gave them refreshments. The first day of the spring term found us assembled to march into the chapel in new class caps. Some timid hearts of the co-eds were quaking. But Uh! the superb confidence in the hearts of the co-eds when one, who is now proving his ability as a business man- ager, exclaimed persuasively, on seeing an anxious face, Donft be frightened, girls, l'll protect you. VVhen the afternoon was over some of our pretty star-shaped caps, glinting with gold, were miss- mg: but these were soon replaced, and we have always been proud to don the neat symbol of class excellence. Some of that Freshman 42 class have been drawn to other institutions, where they are taking honors of which we are proud, and we believe that they have a pleas- ant remembrance of their Freshman year with us. As Sophomores, we met again in an informal waywith the class of ninety-five, but these good friends left us at the close of the school year and we are expected to pass on to the climatic class, the bits of advice and the athletic aid which we received from them. This we are glad to do, for they promise to honor the roll of the odd-year classes, and so round up the century, as well as nearly the half cen- tury of the colleges growth and influence, in a fitting manner. Again we scattered for the summer vacation, enjoying its rest and recreation, gathering new strength for work, new hunger for knowledge. Again we gathered, when the summer was over, in the familiar college chapel. to greet the old friends, to welcome the new, that we might carry forward the designed plan for another year. And now we find ourselves transformed into Juniors with more work. and new responsibilities. Emerson says: The chief want in life is somebodY who shall make us do what we canfl This want our college faculty have been endeavoring to supply and not without good results. Wie have learned that it is better for thought to don the harness of the class-room than to loiter idly in the fields of fancy. Wie at least begin to realize that knowledge is its own reward, and never in our college home are we allowed to 'forget that the begin- ning of wisdom lies at a still higher fountain. - lfVe have been occasionally diverted from our work, once very pleasantly by the Freshmen, when they received us very early in the winter term. Wfe are proud to number among us six successful competitors for the oratorical prizes of the literary societies, several of the prizes having been taken during the current year. And while we are digging after mathematical problems and greek roots. our numbers are also excelling in other departments. Some surpass in music, as soloists and concert singersg painting and elocution have their representatives, and the athletics has received due attention, as our Sophomore friends would doubtless testify. He who pre- sided with dignity over our class meetings is also successful as cap- tain of the foot-ball team, and is ably supported by several of the class. 'fAll round men and women that we aim to be, we would not have it thought that the intellectual part of our natures receive all of the attention, though that naturally takes first place here in our school life. Our crowning year is yet before us, and we look ford ward to it with hope and expectation. But no prophecy of that year's work is needed. for we shall hope to record that in another annual edited by the class of ninety-eight. 4-3 Quotations of the 3unior Claes.

HAND COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOXV BEFORE. The opening week of the fall-term of 1920 at Hillsdale College was hot and sultry. This is great weatherf' remarked the President one evening to a Freshman whom he was endeavoring to initiate into the mysteries of the College catalogue. Yes, sir, modestly assented the Freshman. The President was a dignified, moderate man with blue eyes, of whom the Freshman evidently stood in proper awe. lt reminds me of the first week of my Junior year, went on the President. Yes, sir, assented the Freshman again. Then thinking possibly he was not seeming duly interested he enquired, How long ago was that? . That was in the fall of 1895 answered the President. hlt seems like a long time to youl suppose, but to me it's only like yes- terday. That was a great junior class. How so? enquired the Presliman, a trifle confused as to whether the President meant great in a physical, moral, or mental sense. lVell for various reasons, but T think the greatest thing was that we were the first class to get out an annual. How we worked on that! Then the President seemed to realize that his remarks might not seem exactly pertinent to the Freshman, so he added, T hope the class of which you are to be a member will prove as much of an honor to the institution. The Freshman answered, Yes, sir, and he walked away think ing of the class to which the President had belonged, and wondering to how great an extent the acts and aspirations of their college-lite had influenced their after-life. He did not feel like studying, so in place of going directly to his room he sauntered slowly down Womanning street? Wfhen he came to the stone-bridge, which arches the streamlet of the St. Io, he sat down on one of the seats placed along the sides of the bridge for the convenience of stu- dents who may grow weary on their way home from expeditions to the Pie House or Opera House. Innumerable swarms offire-Hyswere Hitting about over the St. .lo Park. and as the Freshman watched them he thought that one group differed from the rest. for in place of emitting the yellow light peculiar to a fire Hy all the hues of the rainbow radiated from their bodies. Nearer and nearer came this tThis was known as Manning Street in the last century. 46 n group and circled about his head. Then he noticed that it was not composed of fire-tlys at all, but of globnles of variously-colored irri- clescent material. At length one of these globules which emitted a pale green light settled on his arm. He was about to grasp it to examine it when a gentle voice arrested him: Do me no harm and you shall see much tonight. The Freshman was so bewildered by this unexpected phenomenon that, like the hero of the Aeneid, vox haesit faucibnsf' The voice continued: Know, gentle student, that this is the time and place at which the spirits of the class of 1897, of Hillsdale College, are wont to assemble each year. Our bodies may be widely scattered over the face of the earth, but in spirit we are all tog'ether tonight. Seldom is it granted one not of our number to witness our reunion, but by joint agreement do we accord you this favor, and I am selected to remain by you during the time in order that I may instruct you in anything you may desire to know concern- ing us. Then pray tell me who and what are you? asked the Fresh- man, already re-assured and captivated by this kindly spirit. Long years ago, came the answer, 'lwhen still a student in the walls of the college on yonder hill, I dedicated my life to service in the mission-field, and now my particular work is among the heathen of farther Indiaf' And what is your name? It matters notg you will never hear it. 'Ahl you were over-modest Miss Bangs, interposed a light of brilliant red which had settled near the pale green globule. Should one be otherwise before the learned Professor Davis? was the quiet response. Then the green light addressed again the Freshman: This is the spirit of L. P. Davis, professor of modern languages in the Uni- versity of Chicago. From his earliest school-days he showed an especial adaptation for languages and music, but while he always paid particular attention to the cultivation of these branches he did not neglect others. and it is only his well-rounded development, not a special genius, which gives him his present position. Thanks, Miss Bangs, returned the red globule, and it sailed away, almost colliding with three others which were setting on the Freshman's shoulder. VVell, Sims, said one, which emitted a dazzling blue light, 'lyou have really succeeded in becoming Poet Laureate of England, haven't you? Yes, Langworthy, at lastf answered the opal-tinted light, and you have not only obtained the position of ambassador at the 47 German court, but the speech you made last week at the English embassy, on statesmanship, is already more widely known than any of my poems. By the way, wasn't what you said about Hamilton merely a rejuvenation of your junior prize oration? Sims, wasn't your translation of Jocelyn, that people are loos- ing their heads over, simply an elaboration of the translation you and I made together the winter vacation of our junior year? quickly answered the blue light, and they sailed away again followed by the third globule, which had taken no part in the conversation, but had at times emitted a bright search-light before which the others had paled. XVhat is that spirit who sat here so silent? asked the Fresh- man. That, answered his pale-green friendly spirit, is the spirit of Kitchen, the keenest detective in the ljnited States service. I-Ie sel- dom speaks, but his mind is penetrative and acute. Notice now that violet globule coming toward us in company with the yellow one. Those two personages will not seem as noteworthy to you as to us, for in your day women are accorded far more rights than they were in ours, but the fact that Grace Dewey is a private physician to the Czarina of Russia, and Clara Hughes is governor of Massachusetts. is very significant to usf' Meantime a pearly globule had settled on the Freshman's arm, and, as he listened, he seemed to hear the sleep-walking scene in Macbeth. XVhat mean those sounds? he enquired. You are now listening, came the answer from the pale-green globule, to Genevra Ilarker, reader at the English court. You are highly favored, for seldom does she deign to honor one outside court circles with her talent, but you must not listen to her longer. for others are approaching to demand your attention. Two globules, a purple and a green, now flitted several times back and forth before the Freshman, and as they did so he caught snatches of their conversation. Now, McDonald, came from the purple globule. Hthis is a fine business I'm in. It's lots of work of course, but I like to work. Iknow you think there's nothing like the editor's business. and there's no paper like your 'Chicago Inter-Oceanf but mv phono- graphic entertainments bring just as much knowledge to the people as your newspaper. You see I talk into my instrument during the day whatever I think advisable to bring before my evening's audi- ence, and then at night I just set the instrument to going. Your paper mav be a great educator, but mv phonofrraph is ahead of it and it isn't near so much work. Dont you find your editing lots of work? ' 6 48 The answer came slowly and decidedly from the green globule. Austin, I have never considered any work difficult since I was edia tor-in-chief of our Annual. I guess I know something of that work, for I was its business manager, floated back the purple light's answer, as they sailed away. llfhile the Freshman had been listening to this conversation be- tween the editor-in-chief, and the business manager of the Annual of1897, three white globules and a second pale-green one had set- tled about his first acquaintance, and their words now took his atten- tion. Yes, Miss Bangs, came from of the white globules, our work in New York City is progressing finely. Mrs. Nichols and I are getting along well with the church-work, and much credit is due our friend Miss Crofoot in her city-mission work. That is really the backbone of the church. 'fHardly so, interposed the more recently arrived pale-green globule, it is Mr. Nichols' sermons. I-Ie has already the largest congregation in the city. You heard him, did you not, Mr. Miner? 'Yesf' came from another white globule, on my way home from my charge in Australia I had that privilege, and on my return trip this fall I hope to have the pleasure again, for I have fine reports of himf I fear you are flattering me now, modestly replied the third white globule, and then the four floated off together, and the Fresh- man was left alone wth his first friend. Please, whose spirits are those orange globules which Hit about so actively? he asked of her soon. Those, she answered, Hare the spirits of the Mosher sisters. They have a sort of a literary studio Qin Dresden from which Frieda turns out romances and philosophical treatises, and Bessie evolves poems and sonnetsg but look! you are to be highly honored! That crimson light coming toward you is the spirit of no less a person than N. B. Sloan, President of the United States, and its duller red com- panion is the spirit of President VVeaver, of our own Alma Materf' Qnly a moment these two noteworthy personages lingered by our Freshman, but long enough for him to hear President Sloan say: Yes, I was elected by a great majority. Everybody seems to be turning Republican these days, and President Wfeaver answered: I am endeavoring to impress the superiority of that party on all who come beneath my care. I am glad that all our class have placed themselves under its banner. Those were great notions we got into our heads in our college days. I don't know which was the most absurd, you folks with your Democratic ideas. or Langworthy and 49 l, and the rest with our Prohibition tendencies. Pm glad McDonald had the sense to stick to his Republican principles thro' it all. Mc- Donald is a great boy--, and as the two presidential spirits disap- peared in the distance the Freshman made a firm resolution that live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, he would always give his heart and his vote to the Republican party As he was thus musing, the sounds of an animated discussion fell on his ear, and looking down on his hand he saw there two glo- bules, one of which emitted a deep blue light, and the other a garnet light. Yes, came the words from the garnet light. T know that I must be happier than you. Wfhat have you to equal the thrill which comes to me when I know that by my words l am swaying at my will the thoughts and feelings of a great audience of human beings? You have nothing, confess it, Mae Selden. - ' But the deep blue 'light answered: Mabel Copp, T have my home life, which I know is as happy as any in the land, and the gar- net light was silent. For a long time the Freshman mused again. Then he called the attention of his constant pale-green friend to two bright lights in the distance. The lavender globulef' she told him, is the spirit of Nellie Montgomery, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Paris, and her yellow companion is C. L. Catherman, the Parisian correspondent for Mr. McDonalds paper, 'The Inter-Gceanf They are coming toward us, and can tell you many an interesting talef, Even while the Freshman was watching their approach, he felt a hand weigh heavily on his shoulder, and a voice said: f'Here, my young friend, you are a great boy to be asleep here, T should advise you to go to your room. Slowly the Freshman returned to the world he had left, and rec- ognized standing beside him President Wfeaver. Wfhenhe had re- covered himself sufhciently. he looked down again on his arm for the spirit who had been so faithful to him during the evening, but it was gone, and when he looked over the park he saw only the ire-flies. Then he arose from his seat, and, side by side with the President, walked back onto the hill revolving many things in his mind. 50 V WUI' jfY65lJl1l8I1 'IRCCGDUOIL H ln our young Freshman days, on Hlest street, the corner of Fayette, To and fro in the street our numbers busilyiluirried. Clad in top coats and furs, for 'twas the bleak weather of winter, Carrying colors and cake for the Iuniors, our friends and our allies. Quickly the shadows fell, and the night was windy and snowy, Surely a fitting night, so thought the innocent Freshman. For who would venture out to disturb them in such stormy weather? But as the darkness fell, to and fro in the shadows Flitted forms of the night, well wrapped to disguise their dark faces. Quietly creeping about they surrounded the rooms of the Freshmen, And woe of woes! pausing not, they surrounded the homes of the Juniors. Cautiously now they advance, and 'tis the brave chief of the Freshies, 'Whom they thus hope to entrap and detain from the well-lighted mansion. Patient they wait in the snow, and watch for the form of the chieftaing Sadly they wait, for their hearts grow weary with watching and doubting 3 And he, the glorious chief of the hrmly-united, brave Freshies, VVith his prophetic eye had foreseen their hostile intentions, For some had surrounded his home the night before the reception. Before the dark night had come to conceal the forms of her children, He, a child of the light, had departed to regions of safety, Leaving a burning light to symbolize him in his absence. Meanwhile, children of night, brothers and friends of the others, Having proceeded the same as those of Whom we have told you, Had captured and placed under guard the dignified chief of the Juniors. Wfildly then they tossed their arms and limbs in the war danceg i Madly they yelled and shrieked, exulting they raised a great war- whoopg - And, during the mad confusion, while they were thus diverted, At an unguarded window the chief slipped from his dark prison. Glancing round him With caution, and quick as the lightning in summer, He sped away in the darkness, no more to be seen by the Sophies, And soon was received with joy in the bright-lighted home of the Freshies. Thus in our Freshman days, in the bleak Weather of winter, A Nobly the children of light vanquished the children of darkness. 51 Glam of ' 98. CLASS COLORS: CRIMSON AND OLIVE. CLASS FLOWER: RED ROSE.

The 'class of '98, Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, was organized quietly Thursday, October 25, 1894, between the hours of six and seven P. M., in room No. 7, known as mathematics. By actual count twenty-seven were present. But this was not the first meeting of the class. On the eve -of October 5, 1894, it was quietly whispered about the campus that Rose Belle Merrell, one of our class-mates, was dead. The next morning the class, in a body, followed the remains to the depot with the sorrowing parents, who formerly lived at Orland, Ind. She had passed her final examinations and taken part in the great com- inencement-graduated from this life. , ' On Friday evening. October 26, 1894, Mrs. Mosher received the Freshman class. All were bashful. Some of the ladies were :surprised to learn that some of their class-mates were married. But ithese queer sensations of shyness and bashfulness soon wore away. A good remedy for either is to be locked in a room and someone on 'the outside turn off the gas. Wie enjoyed this novel situation one might at a business session in No. 7, but we soon escaped. The greatest social function of the year was the reception we gave to the class of '96 at the home of A. Wlorthing, on Oak street. Although it is customary for the class not invited to attend, the members of the class of '97 were conspicuous for their absence that night. They were at home sleeping the sleep of the innocent, sim- ply because they knew nothing about the reception. But two nights later we entertained the faculty and students in a reception Given in the ladies' societv halls on Thanksoivino' night. -b .- ' D D b Our class caps, black mortarboards, appeared the last day of fthe winter term. The customary melee took place, but no one was :sent to the rear for repairs. Some of the caps needed repairs. In the fall term ,Q5 we were kindly entertained by the class of 796 at the home of J. D. Ashbaugh. The classes of '97 and ,QQ were there also, on the outside. They danced, and payed the fiddler This year we have had several interesting meetings, especially EJ 54 those that were held in the gallery as we sat for our pieture, when the photographer furnished the ladies a box of face powder. Wfhen the Ifreshmen gave their reception to the class of ,Q7 they thought they would be wondrous wise and not let anyone know about it. Wfe were there and serenaded them with Ninety-nine Blue Bottlesf' singing every verse, after which refreshments were served at the pie house. Cf Course we don't know as much as the Juniors, who can make themselves fa1nous by publishing a book. But wait until we have had as much experience. HISTGRIAN. 1- GIEIBS of 95.

Others who care more for the feast they receive, go to their churches as empty retainers free of charge, and after enjoying the hospitality of some country brother, return loaded. 56 jfF65bm3l1 61355.

Prepdom is now a thing of the past. Its peaceful struggles are o'er, and we are safely launched upon the restless beach of class life. Yet our few years as preps have not been fruitless. Although looked down upon by the haugty Soph', and the high soaring Senior, we have profited much by their sad and dismal failures, and can now more wisely face the battles in so many of which we have already been victors. Nye are proud to number among our ranks many of the keenest and brightest intellects in attendance hereg and not only bright in- tellects do they possess, but also noble purposes and aims. ' Four will enter the Christian ministry, one will go to foreign lands as a student volunteer, while many others will enter the pro- fessions of law, medicine and teaching. Having affected an organization in the latter part of September, we soon made preparations for a reception in honor of our own members. This was a very pleasant and delightful affair, wholly undisturbed by the sleeping Sophs about us. Soon after, whispers reached every Freshman ear that the Sen- iors were to receive their fellow Sophs in a spacious house near the Presidents Having decided to visit them, we proceeded thereto in a body. As we neared the house strange actions were noticed with- in, as if fear and trembling had seized upon them all. 'Wfe advanced, but as we approached the door a hot-headed Senior rushed past and ran for the county sheriff at break-neck speed. Coming out of the back door and running through the shadows of the trees was a 250- pound Senior, making tracks toward the home of Pres. Mosher. Next into our faces was thrust a red-hot poker from the hands of a divine Soph.', Then followed a scene interesting in itself. Une of the prominent members of the Senior class urged a valiant junior, standing in our ranks, to take us away. Fearing lest the whole re- ception would go into hysterics, we took our leave. Thus we have carried things our own way. ln the early part of the winter t6l'111 we gave a reception to the Juniors, which was attended by no unusual disturbance. Another victory is ours. In the battle that ensued on the 4th of March, after our first appearance with our beautiful class caps,-but one cap in thirty was lost. Not a Freshman was hurt or a temper ruflied. Such has been our short history. Glorying in the triumphs of the past, we shall press on with a determination to win, not only in college, but in life. 60 fl fi If N 'X,.f' 1, 5 ,IN X .X Xi.

The present Theological Institute of Hillsdale College had its nucleus in an organization of Christian students, who were seeking Christian growth and intellectual development. About eight years ago the idea was suggested to Prof. I. S. Copp by Prof. Salley that the perspective ministers who were among our students should be organized into an institute, the purpose of which should be to educate along specific lines of church work. VVith this in view, Prof. Copp conceived the plan which has since been developed into our present Institute. To Prof. and Mrs. Copp the Institute stands as a memento of the kindest sympathy and deep- est regards they have ever manifested in the welfare of Christian students. r The primary object of the organization has always been, and now is, to reach young men who feel a call to the gospel ministry of the Free Will Baptist denomination. Others are welcome, but these are especially sought. To this end letters are sent to pastors 61 asking for names of consecrated young men, who have an inclina- tion and ability for the ministerial profession. After these names are secured, correspondence is conducted with these young people and their attendance at our college encouraged. Among its mem- bers it fosters a fraternal feeling and seeks to give encouragement in every possible way. While the Theological lnstitute is not primarily a literary society, yet that should not be overlooked. At its weekly meetings papers are read and addresses are given by competent students and some of the leading pastors in this and adjoining cities. A brief summary of the work during the fall and winter terms of 1895-96 may be of interest. Q Rev. R. R. Kennan, A. lil., '91, now a student in the Theological Department, gave a paper: Need a Theological Student Lose his Spirituality while taking his Course? Rev. C. D. Jacobs, pastor of Presbyterian Church. gave an 'llllustrated Sermon and an ad- dress, Man and his Message. Rev. H. M. Ford delivered an ad- dress on Faith Miss Laura DeMerritte, Dover, N. H., secretary of- the National Xl'oman's Mission Society, also gave a very inter- esting talk. During the winter term Prof. A. T. Salley, D. D., spoke about the I?3eneficiary. Prof. D. B. Reed, B. D., gave an address upon The Minister as an Evangelist, and Mrs. F. S. Mosher re- lated some Reminiscences of Noted F. VV. Baptists. Beside these other addresses were given. A question box is open from time to time, in which practical questions relating to pastoral work will be asked, and the best methods discussed. lt can be readily seen that the advantages of the institute are great. First-That of fraternal union and Christian fellowships is encouraged. Second--The student becomes personally acquainted with the most successful pastors in the held. Third-He has the opportunity to ask concerning the plans and methods of different representative and successful men. Fourth-These plans and methods are fully discussed and proper suggestions for improve- ments offered. To the prospective minister these advantages are at once apparent. The day has come when our ministry needs the G2 study of methods as much as theology. Methodology is a science.. and as such must be studied and mastered if the Christian minister hopes to reach the masses. The further work of the Institute is designed to supplement the class-room drill. so that the theological student, when he takes his degree of B. D., may be a well-rounded man. Such is the intention, such is the aim of our Theological Insti- tute. Our pastors are sometimes called upon to write epitaphs on short notice. The following may be found of service: From classic New England comes the following: Here lies the body of John Mound, Lost at sea and never found. Another more pointed: Here lies the body of Qbadiah XX ilkinson, ' And his wife, Ruth. Their warfare is accomplished. T Vermont furnishes the sequel to the question, Is marriage a failure? She lived with her husband fifty years, And died in the confident hope of a happier life. Another: My wife lies here. All my tears cannot bring her back. Therefore I weep. Affection for the infants must not escape our notice: Sacred to the memory of three twins. Burlington furnishes the following: Died when young and full of promise Of whooping cough, our son 'l7homas. ' For conciseness we would submit these: UA bird, a man, a loaded gun: No bird, dead man, thy will be done. 63 Delaware sends us a specimen where grief struggles with gram- Il1Zl1'Z And am she dead, and are she gone? And have she left I all alone? Oh, cruel fate! You is unkind To take she 'f0re, and leave I 'hind. We would caution our pastors. however, in regard to undue alnbreviations. ln one of our local cemeteries this may be found: f'Let her R. I. PJ instead of Let her rest in peace! E In another silent city we are slightly amused at seeing, God, she was thine contracted to God, she was thin. 1 what H5 TDC? Question to theological student: Are you a perfectly free moral agent? Answer: I am. Prof.: There are only two classes of perfectly free moral agents-gods and angels. Third witty theolog: He cannot be an angel, for all angels are in the form of women with wings on. Conclusion: He must be a divinity! 64 lDOl1rlQ QDQIV5 fl56OCiEl'lliOIl. SPJRJ7 . . BODY . . AIIND . OFFICERS. President ........ ...... H . S. MYERS.

SLOAN. A Christian Association has been a factor of college life for some years. The early organization was known under the above name but was composed of both ladies and gentlemen. It was in the fall of 1883 that the organic separation came, and the Young XVomen's Christian Association was organized. This new movement did not mean separation of interests, for the associations have continued to work together ever since. This separate organization and union work has been of great advantage. The committees of both associations plan together for union work, and both take an equal part in the Tuesday evening meeting. Sun- day afternoon meetings have been held with much success and profit, although the real work has been put into the Tuesday evening meeting. The work of the past year began early. Three men at the Stu- dents' Conference, at Lake Geneva, did much to assist in making the work successful. The plans made there on the last day have been found profitable, and have resulted in a union of effort that might not otherwise have been accomplished. Soon after the return of the delegates, for all live on the Hill, and were here during the greatest part of the summer, weekly prayer 1T1CCtl11g'S were started. At these little conferences of the workers of both associations plans were talked over and preparations made for carrying them out. As 65 a result the Hall was partially refitted, and a good spiritual influence was felt at the very beginning of the term. Twelve men at the Bible Institute at Albion, conducted by Prof. XV. W1 W'hite. of Moodys School at Chicago, was a great help to them, and has been the means of leading to more systematic and real Bible study. The impetus given to this work was great, but many fell out by the wayside, and only a few have continued in regular class work. Classes conducted by Professors Salley and Reed have been attended by members of the Association and have resulted in good. The Missionary and Financial Dpartments have been the most satisfactory. A new enthusiasm has been given to the missionary work. About eighty dollars are being raised for foreign missions. regular and well-attended missionary meetings have been held and a more general interest created. The missionary library, occu- pying a shelf in the general library. is read by a few and referred to by more. The mission study class, under Mrs. Copp. has followed the outline of work published in The Student Volunteer, and has added to the general interest. The Volunteer Band has become more of an organic part of the associations than it was before. This has placed the associations back of it and given it a better support. Some names have been removed from the list and the rest mean business. This is certainly a topic that ought to be carefully considered by all stndents. The membership is growing, for which we have reason to give thanks. At the present time it is larger than it has been before for some years, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that there is but one institution in the state with a larger membership. Five earnest, conscientious men went to the State Convention at Kalamazoo. They brought back a good spirit, and one which will cause new things in our work. The newly elected officers are already considering plans for the coming year. 66 LD. 'GIIL GZ. H. OFFICERS. President ....... ...EVA M. CROFOOT, '97 Vice-President ...... .... F LORILLA BANGS, 397.

The students of Hillsdale College have, among other good things, various advantages for active moral and religious growth, .and not least among these are the Christian associations. It-was in the fall of '83 that a meeting of the young women was called for the purpose of consultation with a view to organizing a separate asso- ciation, as they had always been connected with the young men in .a Christian association. The result of this meeting was the adoption of a constitution recommended by the Committee on Associations in colleges, and the Young X'VO1l1C11iS Christian Association of Hillsdale College was ushered into existence, to take its place among its sister institutions for the work of reform and of building up the Lord's kingdom upon earth. lt began with thirty charter members and grew rapidly, as scarcely a business meeting was called that there were not from three to eight names of new members proposed, until its Hrst number was more than doubled, Three years later, in January of '86, the first state convention of Michigan was held on College Hill, at which Miss Nettie Dunn, the daughter of our honored Dr. Dunn, presided. She was always active in the work for the association, and now, as Mrs. Clark, is doing missionary work in India, where our earnest prayers follow her. A state convention always brings new enthusiasm, and suggests new methods of work, so we were glad to welcome it again in the fall of '95. At this convention about seventy delegates were present from different parts oi the state, and some from other states, so that much valuable experience in methods of work was given at the public sessions, as well as the private conferences. Miss Mary B. Hill, ofthe Moody Institute, conducted the Bible G8 Study. Mr. Tracy McGregor, a very successful worker in the city missions of Detroit, gave a very interesting talk on his line of work. The Gospel Meeting, Sunday afternoon, was conducted by Miss Evelyn MacDougal in her usually pleasing manner. Une of the main features in the growth of the General Associa- tion is the establishing of several summer schools, where the repre- sentatives of the many branches can assemble for instruction in the different lines of workg meet and exchange ideas and plans- with each other, and pass many delightful hours. Hillsdale has not been backward in taking advantage of this opportunity. In 792 two of the association girls attended the school convened at Lake Geneva, and came home thoroughly convinced that the sending of delegates to one or more of these schools ought never to be omitted, since the inspiration gained there is felt through- out the year. Since then other girls have gone, and it is hoped that the coming summer will find representatives of the association both at Lake Geneva and Northfield. The number of members in the association here varies, as the students come and gog yet the work is always kept up to a good standard by those who have it in charge at the time. At present there are about 50 members who hold a weekly meeting on Sabbath afternoon in Association Hall. There are several classes for Bible study conducted by competent leaders. Every Tuesday evening the girls meet with the young men for prayer service in their hall, to which all the students are invited. This service has been a special 1neans of grace to many young men and women, as it steadily goes on from year to year and has become one of the established features of the College.

'ffffgif T 2. 5 -fe 25.5 millgoale college ana nnigsiona' It is a pleasure to note that in the great, modern missionary movement Free Baptists early took a partg that the Free Baptist lWoman's Missionary Society was the first woman's missionary so- ciety ever organized under a charter, and that Hillsdale College, true to its Free Baptist origin, has always been pervaded by a mis- sionary spirit. Soon after the college was founded, two of its students went as missionaries to the Wlest lndies, and since that time more than forty of the students have been engaged in missionary work mostly in the foreign fields. One of the number, Rev. Milo Coldren, r'Bishop of Chandballyf' remembered by old students on account of the mingled kindness and merriment expressed in his face. Mary Fulton, class 574, has done heroic service in China. At one time the mission house was surrounded by a mob and set on fire. Miss Fulton and her brother barely escaped with their lives, but not even this drove them from the field. Emily Barnes, the children's missionary. the low- voiced, sweet-faced English girl, went from Hillsdale to India. Four of Dr. Phillips' daughters graduated at the college and returned as missionaries to lndia, the land of their birth. Dr. Jeremiah llliillips, the war-worn veteran, sleeps in Oak Grove cemetery, and beside him rests his youngest daughter, Ida, who fell a victim to her burning zeal for the cause. 70 These circumstances, together with visits from returned mis- sionaries and held secretaries, and frequent public meetings, all tend to keep the college in touch with missions. Mission topics are listened to with interest, and people are be- ginning to realize that Christianity without missions is Christianity without Christ. Hillsdale has sent her sons and daughters to Africa, China, -lamaica and India. Nor has the held at home been over- looked. Fourteen young men and women have engaged in home mission work, chiefly at Cairo and Harpers Ferry. In 1886 the Mission Band was organized, and since that time the college has been identified with the Student Yolunteer Movement, which has enlisted from the colleges hve thousand students well equipped for the work. The Band was organized to encourage entering upon foreign work. Later, by the advice of Secretary Wfilder, of Princeton, the constitution was changed, and now requires active members to take the following pledge: I purpose, Cfod j7C1'11zz'ft1'1zg, to become a foreign missionary. The power of this method of stating the problem, making it necessary for one to have a special call to remain at home, has given great impetus to the cause, and the adoption of the watch-cry, The evangelization of the world in the present generationf' has given an aim and definiteness to the plans which have been felt all along the lines. The Mission Band has ten members who have taken this pledge and are fitting themselves for the foreign field. Two of them, Miss Elizabeth Robinson and Mr. Grant Douglass are graduates in lune. The Band holds meetings once a week throughout the school year. Formerly these were for the study of missionary topics: now they are for prayer, conference and mutual helpfulness. ln order to interest a larger number of students, the instruction was put into the care of tne Christian associations There has been a good class each term for the last two years, and every Friday evening a com- pany of earnest students may be found in No. IO enthusiastically pursuing the course of study laid out by the Student Volunteerf' The missionary alcove in the library contains one hundred and twenty-five volumes. Many of them are recent works. Additions are being made as funds are obtained. 71 Besides the class in charge of the associations, the college pro- vides for a class conducted on the lecture plan. The course pro- vides one lesson a week through the year. It is calculated to give a comprehensive view of the history and present condition of the important mission fields, organizations at work in them, and suggestions as to the best methods to be em- ployed. The study of the 'fnon-Christian religionsv is not only of interest to the general student, because it opens up an entirely new field of investigation and research, and, also, bears directly upon the ques- tion of modern higher criticism, but it is connected directly with the missions. It gives the missionary a better knowledge of the system of religion which he will have to deal with than he could in the held, except by much trouble and expense. A good library of the Sacred Books of the Eastf' edited by Max Muller, is at the service of the student, to which he is required to make constant reference. Thus the religions themselves are studied, not the books about the religions. During the last year a hundred dollars have been given or pledged towards the support of the mission work. It is hoped that Miss Shirley Smith will be sent out next fall, and that she will be called the Students Missionary. It is a significant fact that several members of the school, who have not made known their desires, are quietly planning to offer themselves for the work. And these are the young men and women who are recognized as the faithful few in every department of Christian service. Not sacrifice, nor duty, but privilege is the brave watch- word. 72 gl .

Once a little maiden with hair of golden hue Lay sound asleep upon the grass beneath a sky of blue, lfVhen merry Infant Cupid with arrows in a sling Came swiftly flying through the air upon his golden wing. Wfhen, lo! he spied the maiden sweet, and softly down did dart Aiming his shining arrow straight at her pure young heart. At once he saw that she his presence did not feel, And then this wicked Cupid thought he a kiss would steal. So, standing on his tip-toes, he gently o'er her bent, The shining sun around them, its golden beauty lentg And o'er the maiden's face the gentle dream-smiles Hew, Wfhile softly, sweetly o'er them, the cooling breezes blew. Wfhen suddenly a robin in front of them did light, And naughty little Cupid was thrown into a frightg He quickly spread his little wings, and Flew off towards the west, But his arrow, all forgotten, lay upon the maiden's breast. And she, a moment after awaking from her dream, Saw upon her own fair bosom a tiny arrow gleamg Its little wings of purest white, its shaft of golden hue, Wfhile around it hung the colors, dregs of wine and silver blue So now in memory of Cupid and this dainty maiden fair VVe Pi Beta Phis the shining arrow wear. And may we all so true and noble be That all may know we've sprung from love and purity. 76 Elf Ha. laopyrfymf F llbbi ZDQIIH Gbeta. FOUNUED ,xr MIADII, DEC. 26, 1848 Fraternity Colors ..... ....

The elemental factors in modern civilization, Scientia, Liber- tas et Religiof' forms the corner-stone of Theadelphic Society. Through loyalty to this great Trivium, our society has se- cured a prestige and achieved a record of which it may well feel proud. About the middle of February, 1864, an organization was effected by Prof. Dunn, with a view to fitting men for Christian work. The members were also members of other college, societies, as well as some in no ivay connected with the school. Under this regime the Theological Association of Hillsdale College con- tinued about one year. During the spring of 1866, disturbances arose in the Literary Societies of the college, and as a result several withdrew. Under the existing conditions there seemed to be a call for an organization on a new basis. The former association met on September 28th, 1866. Nine of the old members were present, and thirteen additional were elected at this session. The constitution was revised, and made to correspond with the constitutions of the other Literary Societies. Though strongly opposed, the Theological Society became a per- manent fixture of the college. VVilliam C. Hulse, of Johnstown, Wis., was elected first president. At this time the society motto, Scientia Libertas et Reli 'io , 8, f was adopted, and has remained the same. Having no hall, the soci- ety met for literary work in the library, which was also used as a recitation room. Underithese unfavorable conditions the society prospered beyond the expectations of its warmest friends. In the spring of 1874, part of the college was burned, and the society was without a meeting place. The Good Templarsu kindly tendered their hall for our meetings. During the fall and winter terms we met in the college parlors, and in the spring of 1875, through the kindness of the Germanae Sodales, we used their hall every alternate Monday evening. These were pioneer experiences, 97 ' indeedg but to us, true it was that 'fthe darkest hour is just before dawn. During this term our present home i11 Knowlton Hall was assigned to us. The society has kept abreast of the times in its hall furnishings and improvements. Its progressive spirit is apparent in the evolution from the days of wooden chairs, bare floors, gloomy walls and rude platform, to the present cosy and artistic literary home. During the winter term of 1895 the hall and furniture were completely remodeled. , The old wooden ceiling has given place to one of heavy embossed steel in massive panels, with a still heavier center piece and cornice of rich design, the whole tinted in three colors of cream and all relief work in gold, giving a massiveness and richness in effect, impossi- ble to attain in fresco work. - A handsome stage with wings and ante-rooms has superseded the old platform. The front of the stage is finished in beautiful designs. On the rear of the stage hangs a fine oil painting valued at SELOOO, represente ing Scie1itia, Libertas et Religiof' executed and presented to the society by Prof. G. B. Gardner. The walls are finished in fresco work that is indeed a model for elegance of design and harmoni- ous blending of colors. All woods are finished in hard oil. VVin- dows and arches are draped with heavy damask of cream and blue in harmony with the tinting of the wall. The stage is draped with silk of old gold color. The entire hall, stage and side-rooms are covered with Brussels carpets, the hall is seated with patent reclining chairs upholstered in red plush, stage chairs are finished in Turkey leather Qblackj, while a flood of light is furnished 'from opaque drop lights and a handsome chandelier finished in mottled copper, It is in the province of each Theadelphic to contribute to the security of our society's future and demonstrate that our pleasant literary home is but the outgrowth and reflection of a loyalty to noble and ex- halted principles, which find expression in Scientia, Libertas et Religiof' 98 i Gbcabelpbic missionaries.

Sitting alone in the silence tonight, I turn from my life like a tale that is told. Hard is the conflict and weary the heart, So crushing the cares and the burdens of life. Soft float the clouds with their gentle repose, Wfhile round me there echoes both clamor and strife Science is mine, all that learning can give, My bark has sailed far into mystery's sea. I turn from it all with a heart that must break, Wfhile the darkness is wrapping my sadness and me. Cradle me, clouds, in your billowy folds: Let me Hoat aimlessly out o'er the blue. VVealtl1 is a shadow, and knowledge isyaing Your rest is unbroken, your peacefulness true. Truant-and shall it be said of me thus, l fled from the confiict when danger was near? Wfhat is this message of comfort divine. Wfhich lifts with its breath all my burden of fear? Come unto me, all ye weary, perplexed. And there shall your heart find a satisfied rest. I have been weary and lonely, dear childg Your restlessness lay at the feet of my rest. Dark drift the clouds in the fast fading light, My face is turned upward, the tempest is stilled. Your lesson is sweet, O Ye Phantoms of Mist! Your rest in a rest more divine is fulfilled. 104 5 .' 'g i ' 'Q f 7 9,1f2725 -,Ili -.5 .

Ibistorp of the '1Labics',iLiterarQ Union Society. When Michigan Central College was removed from Spring Arbor, and opened as Hillsdale College November 7, 1855, the two literary societies of the former were continued, each composed of ladies and gentlemen. They were known as Eunomians and Philogrammatians. The prohibition by the faculty, of the associa- tion ofthe two sexes in these societies, led to the formation of Cicer- onians, Philologians and Ladies' Debating Club, the last named meeting in the old assembly-room, which is now part of the physical laboratory. This was in the spring of 1856. Tn December, 1857, the name of the society was changed to its present one of Ladies' Literary Union. From this time until the spring of 1858 there was but one ladies' society, but very naturally there were so-called Alpha girls and iiA1111Dl1lCtj'O11 girls, caused by the social affinity between them and the boys of the newly formed Alpha and Amphictyon societies- Two L. L. C. girls, Julia Reed tShattuclcj, and Eliza Cole tLewisl, actuated by Alpha preferences, and encouraged by Alpha influence, led the way to the organization of a new ladies' society, the Germanae Sodales, a number of other girls, not members of any society, joining them. This was in the spring of 1858. ln the spring of186O, the L. L. Ufs commenced the publication of an annual, entitled the Souvenir, which was continued for three years, containing many literary gems selected largely from the meri- torious exercises presented on the regular programs during the year, a perusal of which would convince the present membership that their sisters in those early days were good writers. The first one issued in June, 1860, contains this statement: This society was organized in 1857, with fifty-four members: ninety have since been added, and it is now in a prosperous condition. ,ln the next Souvenir, one year later, it said, one hundred and twenty have been added to the original number, and the next year, 1862, the number added is one hundred and forty-nvef, It further lOtS adds, Previous to this year, the society labored under great disad- vantages, from being obliged to hold its weekly sessions in a public room, but the Board of Trustees at their last meeting very gener- ously appropriated to its use a pleasant, commodious hall, situated upon the first floor of the East Hall. Said room was what is now the west half of the physical labor- atory, and was separated only by a partition on the east side from the room occupied by the Germanae Sodalcs Society. From bare floor and walls, it gradually received tasteful decorations, including a fine carved library case, which extended along the entire west side of their hall, with the exception of an opening for a door. The French windows on the north side, still intact, were used by the members for ingress and egress for scenic exercises. The formation of another society proved a healthful stimulant for good work, and lively effort in soliciting additional members. In the spring of 1866, in common with the other societies, the L. L. U-'s felt their rights infringed upon by the faculty in relation to the admission of visitors to their exercises, the requirement being that no gentlemen be allowed to attend the meetings of the ladies' socie- ties, and vice versa, except as a limited number might be approved, and provided with cards of invitation signed by the President of the college, or in his absence, by the senior member of the faculty. On this account some withdrew from active membership, but as time elapsed, the society gradually recovered its wonted vigor and har- mony. ln the spring of 1874 the L. L. Ufs joined with the other societies in publishing a monthly magazine called The Crescent, which continued one year. - After the fire on March 6th, 1874, which destroyed the central part and west hall of the college, the Unions continued to occupy their hall, inviting the homeless Amphictyons to use it alternate Monday evenings for their literary exercises, which proposition they accepted for a term. During the fall of 1874 measures were taken for the consoli- dation of the society libraries with the college library. In the plans for rebuilding the college, rooms were set apart for the ladies' societies in the third story of Fine Arts Hall, the deter- 107 mination of their respective locations, giving to the L. L. Ufs the south hall. The farewell meeting to the old hall was held November 20th, 1876, and the dedication of the new hall, November 21st, 1876. The piano, bought in 1873, was transferred to the new hall, also benches, tables, etc-, while the floor was spread with a new carpet costing 3214. lnside blinds were placed over the windows. An oil paintJ ing, executed by Prof. Gardner, valued at 3350, was donated to the college church for disposal to the highest bidder, and this was secured by the Unions, and afterwards framed, at a cost of 326. The benches were banished, and seventy-tive new plush chairs purchased in the spring of 1885, costing 8875. ln the fall of 1886 the hall was beautifully frescoed at a cost of about 35400. ln 1891 a new Wfebber Grand piano was bought at a reduced price, costing S575,dand a S25 piano spread was donated. ln 1895 a new chandelier was pur- chased, costing 581. Altogether the hall presents a very neat and handsome appearance, and the exercises heard from its rostrum are of a high character, and in harmony with the sentiment which has ever characterized the L. L. Lf., that Beauty of mind endures for- everf, ' One of the important features in thc history of the society is the annual oratorical contests. They were begun in 1869, discontinued from 1877 to 1881, at which time they were renewed under the name ofthe Maggie Ambler Oratorical Contest. The gold badge was given as a prize by Mrs. Margaret E. Ambler. as a memorial for her daughter Maggie, who was an enthusiastic and much loved member of the society from 1866 to 1872, and died in 1876. CSee accom- panying picture of our union sister, Maggie Ambler, also that of prize gold badge, which bears the Union motto.j Since 1874, the Ainphictyons and Unions have held a joint meeting once each term, which always proves a great attraction, and each year in June a joint anniversary meeting 'has been held since 1891.

The earlier chapters of the histories of different organizations are constantly rewritten. As the record made by Germanae. Sodales is reviewed it is with pride that its members note the society's pro- gress from earlier days of trial to those of the triumphant present. The two literary societies connected with the college after its removal from Spring Arbor to Hillsdale were each composed of ladies and gentlemen, and were called the Eunomian and Philogram- matian Societies. An edict of the faculty forbidding this association ofthe sexes led to the foundation of the Ciceronians and Philologians' composed of gentlemen, and the Ladies' Debating Club. The latter niet in the old assembly room, numbering upon its rolls nearly all the ladies who had been identified with either of the two original societies. This organization, first formed in the spring of '56, tool: the name of Ladies' Literary Union in the fall of 1857, the same year in which the Alphaliappa Phi and Amphictyon Societies were in the order named, constructed from the Ciceronians. Until the spring of 1858 there was still but one ladies' literary society: yet, by the law of natural selection were they divided in sentiment into Alpha and Amphict- yon girls-the same old partisan spirit holding sway that once ruled the Eunomians and Philogramniatians. Circumstances seemed to conspire to make a second ladies' society desirable. Many new students, which, hesitating to join the one society, strong as it was, hailed with delight the prospect of a new organization, where they could stand upon the same level of inexperience. The regular rhetoricals of the college bounded too narrowly their aspirations for improvement in that direction. More independence and self-reliance were needed and to that end a 118 baker's dozen organized the new society. It was a happy thought of that Alpha brother who suggested the name Germanae Sodales when the society took its place asia college organization with Eliza A. Cole CLewisj for its president, and the ambitious motto, Scientia Lux Mundif' The myrtle wreath, suggested by Anna Falley, was long the distinctive badge of the Germanae girls. Of the original Eunomians there was but one member, and of the L. L. Lifs but two, who united with the Germanae Sodales. Society, which grew by accretion, steadily and surely from year to year, keeping pace with its older sister in numbers, now and then in advance. It is not difficult to picture those dreary rooms with bare floors, wooden benches, battle scared tables, and the dim religious light of burning fluid, which witnessed the ambitious efforts of those girls of earlier times. We can imagine that old assembly room in East Hall, when, with the permission of the faculty, socials were held on recreation days. 'Tis said that Umatches are made in heaven, and so, to some that room with its utter lack of aesthetic surroundings, was a gate to paradise. In May, of 1864, the society was regularly incorporated under the name and style of The Lyceum of the Germanae Sodales Soci- ety, in accordance with the general state law, and in 1873 its consti- tution and by-laws were revised. The hall was furnished gradually, until it became a very pleasant home, and it was occupied until after the college fire, when the new buildings were ready for occupancy. From among its numbers have gone forth women Hlling hon- ored positions in the world. Uur first secretary, invited by the New York Assembly, at Albany, to address them upon the subject of woman's suffrage, wasithe first woman thus distinguished by that body. Another member has been given the commission to paint portraits of a royal family. Some are authorsg here a valuable text- book, there a volume of poems bears the name of a Germanac. Some are practicing physicians: many are patient nurses in their own happy homesg others filling, with graceful dignity. positions of influ- ence in social life. They are to be found in nearly every honorable position where woman may be admitted. 119 It is with pride that we claim as Germanae girls six out of a list of nine ladies whose names are written on that Roll of Honor, which records the names of students who have won prizes for highest merit in college work. Of especial interest in the society's work have been the oratorical prize contests. occurring annually from 1870 to 1875, which was called the Germanae Annual Oratorical Prize, and later, from 1892 to present time, the 'iPatterson Gratori- cal Prize. The world moves!'i and the Hancientsi' opened wide their eyes as they read, in 1885, the announcement upon their invitations, joint Reunion of the Alpha Kappa Phi and Gerrnanae Sodales Society. The time was when this Utopian idea could not have been hoped for, and its suggestion might have subjected its orig- inator to faculty discipline. But now all is changed, both societies freely and openly acknowledge the bond of sympathy, which, through all these years, has but grown the stronger. Wfhen the present Germanae Hall, furnished with rarest ele- gance, was formally opened with appropriate ceremonies in 1876, the Germanae girls felt that they had an abiding place worthy the name it bears. VVhat a contrast to the first! Surely the motto, 'KPer Aspera ad Astra, is appropriate. The number of girls who have been Gerinanae are about 700, and their graduates number 116. That the society is dear to each member is amply proven by the sentiment so often expressed that G. S. S. and its associations possess a charm that is wholly characteristic of itself. 120 Successful Gompetitors FOR THE ANNUAL PRTZE CONTEST. Sarah Wells Olney ............................

The membership of each consisted'indifferently of ladies and gentle- men. In addition to these, there was formed, soon after the college was removed from Spring Arbor to Hillsdale, a third society, in which the exercises consisted almost exclusively of debates, and to which only gentlemen were admitted as members. This was known as the Ciceronian Society. Soon after it was formed, a decree of the College Faculty, forbidding the association of the sexes as members ofthe same literary society, virtually disbanded the older organiza- tions. Many of their members then joined the Ciceronian, which thus became very strong and prosperous, soon ranking among the best lyceums of the country- But, soon, some young men, more enterprising and of broader views than the majority, began to feel the need of a more scholarly, liberal and thorough literary drill than can be obtained in a mere debating school. They felt also that there was need of a more per- fect organization, a closer bond of brotherhood, to secure in the asso- ciation that csprizf do corps so essential to the highest and most per- manent success. Further, they felt that such changes in the pur- poses and spirit of the Society necessitated a change of name from from one purely oratorical in its generally received significance, to one more suitable for a literary society, and one which should, at the same time, indicate the existence of that fraternal tie which unites the members of our brotherhood. Holding such views, and seeing no probability of realizing them while connected with the old organization, a few courageous men determined to withdraw, and to form a new society in whose struct- ure these views should be embodied. On the evening of the sixth of Qctober, 1857, a preliminary meeting was held in the room of XV. P. Phelon, and from that time 127 and place we date the birth of the Alpha Kappa Phi. At this meet- ing a committee was appointed to draft constitution and by-laws for the proposed society. At a subsequent meeting, held on the evening of October 10, this committee reported. Their report was adopted, and the following signatures were affixed to the constitution and by-laws of the Alpha Kappa Phi Society of Hillsdale College: MEssRs. FRANK P. WELLS, RICHARD W. MELENDY, WM. P. PHELON, JOHN J. MCDERMID, DAVID IUDSON, WILLIANI W. PAYNE, CHAS. WETHERELL, HORACE L. GOODWIN, DAVID M. PERRY, S. J KooN, VOLNEY F. SHEPARD, LEVI H. SWAN, MOSES A. LUCE, GEo. E. CRITTENDEN. They organized by electing XV. P. Phelon, President, and McDermid, Secretary, with a full corps of other officers. On October 15 they tendered their resignations to the Ciceronian Soci- tety, and the new Society at once began operations. The name selected, Alpha Kappa Phi, is made up of the initial letters of the Greek words, Adelphoi kai Philoig the glorious motto chosen was lUc11.r 071111111 Rc'gz'f. The name embodies the spzfzizf of the organi- zation, the motto reveals alike the motives and objects of their toil. From the first the new society was a successg new members fiocked to its standard, and its progress was rapid and sure. At the outset its meetings were held in one of the college recitation rooms, but in January, 1858, the room then known as No. 7 in the college building was granted to it: this room the society occupied until the burning of the College in 1874. The first public meeting of Alpha Kappa Phi was held on the evening of March 1. 1858. in the College Chapelg it was successful and greatly enhanced the already enviable reputation of the young society. The hall, which had been handsomely furnished, was, on July 29, 1859, dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. It was in this hall that on August 2, 1859, occurred the first Melendy Prize Meeting of the Alpha Kappa Phi, a meeting whose annual recurrence has been and is an occasion of great interest. H Prom this time until the breaking out of theRebellion, the record is one of steady progress. Cf its record in the Civil Wfar, it will suf- 128 Hce to say that among those who had toiled and sacrinced for the society, there were not wanting noble men who were willing to labor and to suffer for their country in her hour of need. Their depart- ure to fulill the higher duty to which they had been called, left great gaps in the lines of the active membership of the associationg but steadily the ranks closed up, and, with unbroken front, kept on their forward march. Many times during the years of war was the process repeated, but never was the spirit of Alpha Kappa Phi broken, or its progress checked. At one time, owing to a certain obnoxious rule laid down by the college faculty, the meetings of the society were interrupted, and the hall was closed for a time. Later, when the troublesome rule had been withdrawn, the Society was reorganized and ever since has kept constantly on the road to success. At the burning of the college in 1874, the Society was left with- outa home. It is due to our Germanae sisters that we hold in grate- ful remembrance the kindness and sympathy which they extended to us as their brother society. They generously tendered to us the use of their hall each alternate Monday evening, and in it we held our meetings during the spring and fall termsiof '74 and the winter term of '74 and '75, During the spring and fall terms of '75 the society meetings were held in room No. 8 of Center Building. On December 20 the new hall was dedicated in a joint meeting with the Germanae Soci- ety. The society's work has continued to be of the best, and the beautiful monument erected on the college campus shows that the Alphas of the present have a fraternal feeling for the earlier members coupled with that patriotism which caused them to face death. Always remembering that Nllifezzs 0172721.67 Regitf, Alpha society is determined to push on, asserting that the proudest boast of our soci- ety must ever be that its members are truly and for all time, Adel- phoi Kai Philoif' 129 Che little Eoor. The history of this small piece of furniture, though ancient, is nevertheless unforgotten. The door was built for an entrance to the hall stage and hat room, and opened from the outside hall-way just a few feet from the main entrance to the hall of the Amphictyons. Shortly after its completion, the Alphas were one morning somewhat surprised to ind their door broken in slivers and the door-way filled with brick and mortar. The Amphics crowed, but only to their sorrow, for a permit was at once obtained through the city authorities, in compliance with the law of the state, requiring sufficient doors and exits in public halls in case of fire and panic, granting full rights to rebuild the door, and there it now stands, and shall for ever more. And thus has arisen the song with the closing verses: So here's a moral for the wise, Ne'er fool with Alpha Kappa Phisg For if you do, like these Amphics, You will get fooled at your own tricks. 130 Elrt. Pizor. G. B. GARDNER. To one, who began to draw and paint at the somewhat tender age of three years, and who had at five-in his own childish estima- tion at least-sufficient artistic talent to make pictures of men and women, horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, geese, and ducks, and even scenic views and landscapes from nature--in proof of which, there is yet in his possession, accidentally found when nearly thirty years of age, a water color painting of his home, done at the age of eight, which was painted with brushes made by himself from the hair of horses, cows and cats, while the paints were manufactured by the young painter from the eartl1's Howers and grasses around him-it is a pleasing task to write something upon art. Now what is art? Is it a myth, as some good people have itg useful only, like Mother Goose's Melodies, to lull refractory, but gullable children into dream-tortured slumber, or is it, indeed, as one of the Royal George's of Englandl' had it, in connection with poetry, when he peevishly declared that 'iBoetry and Bainting be no goodf' a simple nothing? Or is it only the pleasing of the eyes, and through them, the mind-possibly even the soul-of men, as those, who harp upon the mission of art as being solely the expression and dissemination of beauty, would have it? Or again, that grosser and most execrable motive of all, is it simply for the emoluments accruing therefrom-the loaves and fishes as it were-that the true artist works and toils and suffers, or, might it possibly rest upon higher ground, deal with more exalted ideas, and be of some real practical use to the world and its teeming millions? Might it, too, be a means, by bringing to the notice and the remembrance of men, in crystalized form and endowed and clothed in beauty, exalted ideas, moral truths, noble sentiments and scenes, or mayhap lift up a warning voice to the evil intended, by depicting the real and possible degradation to which men in all ages have, alas, fallen, and in so doing dishonored themselves and their God? l3l Yes, all this and more, for true art has ever been a silent but often potent factor for the accomplishment of good. It has pre- served and proved history as no other known means has been able to do. lt has made history by urging men into action when word has failed, and has touched the most secret heart springs of men who could not be impressed by any other means. It is therefore a Great power, either for good or evil. D In art, and more especially that of our day, the percentage of evil to good Qamong its disciplesD is so small that it can hardly be mentioned, not even for the sake of comparison. It moulds the character of youth by its almost perfect illustrations in our school booksg it teaches the wisest scholar, often at a glance, more than volumes of written description could do by themselves alone: it proves or disproves to the scientist the most vexing and intricate enigmas by verifying dc facto, just how the subject in questionap- pears and how it really is. i Yet all this it does in conjunction and in harmony with-a co-laborer, as it were-the various other means that a good Father has seen fit to give to mankind for its use, for its joy, improvement and its general good. It preaches to some hearts in language un- mistakable, golden sermons of the beauty and completeness of crea- tion. Artists, like poets, cannot be made by the hands of man alone. 'While art is never arrogant, it feels and knows its proud mission as coming from the all-Father, and does not therefore bow to any power only as one of Godls messengers does to another, who alto- gether sing triumphantly, each in his own way and language and mode of expression, the Glory of God. . That this is hardly realized in our day by our fellowmen is be- yond all controversy, and while true art cares little or nothing for subserviency and the homage of men, it does care to be acknowl- edged and owned as one of Gods agencies. Hence it keenly feels the value now attaching to its doings in its various Fields and branches, and so it may reasonably be left by the present writer-for the rest of its mission to the end of time-in the just hands of a beauty-loving, because beauty-creating God, and the appreciative hearts of his children, upon this beautiful earth. 132 Eepartment of music. The nrst instructor in music in Hillsdale College, Mr. Chas. H. Churchill, came here from Spring Arbor in 1855, when the college was moved from that place. He taught both instrumental and vocal music. ln 1863 Mr. Fenelon B. Rice, who, together with his wife, had been teaching for some time, became the head of the depart- ment and held the position until 1869. when the present principal, Mr. Melville W. Chase, was called to Hillsdale from Boston to teach piano and take charge of the music in the college. Mr. Chase was assisted by his wife, Olive Poland-Chase, as vocal teacher, until her death in 1874. The first home of the music department was the small room in East Hall, now occupied by the Collegian, when the college was rebuilt after the fire it received its present rooms in Fine Arts Hall. After his wife's death, Mr. Chase taught both instrumental and vocal music, with the exception of a few months, until September, 1884, when Mr. Alvah Graves became teacher of vocal music and did efficient work in strengthening his department. Mr. Graves re- signed in June, 1892, and Mr. Dixon Churchill was elected to the position. Mr. Churchill had taken his Ph. B. degree at Hillsdale, and was also graduated from the vocal department. He remained until january, 1895. The present vocal teacher, Mr. John M. Merrill, began his work in the college in April, 1895 8 ' Until 1885 no diplomas were granted in the music department. just previous to that year the Board of Trustees voted to bestow diplomas upon such as should complete required work and courses in piano and in vocal music, including harmony, counterpoint, theory, etc., were arranged. In the ten years following, 1885-1895. there have been forty-two graduates in music. 133 1biIls0aIe college Elec Club. R. R. KENNAN, E. VV. VAN AKEN. W. F. GASKINS. C. M. CHASE. L, P. DAVIS. V F. ff.

The chief signal offi- cer U. S. A. has recently furnished the department with a complete outfit of heliographs and llags for signaling. Finally, a more mili- tary appearance lias been given to the campus by placing near the gymnasium a splendid Hag staff, presented to the college by Messrs. Wfilliani and Austin Mitchell and Dr. TN. H. Sawyer, from which will henceforth float the stars and stripes. The practical work of the department includes exercises in the school of the soldier, school of the company and school of the bat- talion, including extended order drill. manuel of the piece Cfoot bat- tery drilll and signaling. The theoretical work includes a course of lectures in military science to members of the Senior and Junior classes. l-15 wtganigation. Comrnandant ................. Eli A.

Their pur- pose was to provide a course of first-class lectures and musical enter- tainments each year, and by selling the season tickets at a minimum price place these entertainments within the reach of every student. Through this policy a liberal support has also been obtained from the city people and the neighboring towns. The business of the association is transacted by an executive committee, consisting of two members from each of the literary societies. Since its organization the association has improved the quality of its courses from year to year, and owing to more liberal patronage has ventured to invest more money than it had in former courses. At present the amount invested in each course varies from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars. The five societies assume the financial responsibility of the association and share equally in its profits and losses. Contrary to the prevailing opinion, the profits divided among the literary societies are very small in proportion to the responsibility they assume. At the close ofthe course of 1893-'94 there was no surplusg after that of 1894-'95 there was fifty-five cents to be divided among the five societies. From the course of 1895-'96 there was a profit of about ten dollars. Money-making is by no means the object of the association, and the societies simply seek to make it self-supporting. 'The association has brought to Hillsdale seventy-one different lecturers and combinations, besides, fifteen of these have been re- peated in subsequent courses. As a result of our having had access to these high grade entertainments there has been developed in our college, in the city and in the community, a deeper, broader culture and a permanent demand for the very best talent that the American platform affords. .

Alborn, '98, Blue Earth City, Minnj List to my tale, ye who boast you so proudly, You who would scorn to be outcasts like me, List to the tale that I tell of my nation, List to it, ye who now call yourselves free! Bronzed is my skin and my face copper-colored, Dark my complexion and raven my hair, But if my heart be as black as the white man's, Crush me, ye demons, ye Hends of despair! I am the son of a nation once mighty, Mighty in war, in the camp, in the chase,- Perished are they, I, the last, am a beggar, And even as such I am grudged my sad place. Once, as the son of a chief that was mighty, Proudly I strode at the head of my clan, Now, as a beggar, I tell you my story, Humbly I beg you my fortunes to scan. Father to son oft hath told how the white man, Landing a wand'rer on Plymouth's bleak strand, Grew by our kindness until now we see them, Great as a nation and called by some, grand. Vfhen they were strong they forgot all our kindness Shown to them oft when so feeble and weak, Broke they their truces, no oaths e'er could bind them, Backwardthey drove us a refuge to seek. Tongue cannot tell all the wrongs that we suffered, Plundered in peace and olermastered in strife, Tricked while we suffered and slain if resisting, Till our hearts longed to depart from' this life! For a few baubles they purchased our forests, If we refused, they o'ercame us in fight, This at the first, later on, they not even Granted that we to the land had a right. 163 From our best hunting-grounds we have been driven Coaxed by one leader and forced by the next, Naught now is left us, we wander forsaken, Always oppressed, e'en in beggary vexed! Long was the struggle before we submitted, Brave were our warriors, courageous and bold, And if our clans had been welded in union, Different perchance were the tale to be told! Torn by dissensions within, and assaulted Outwardly by an implacable foe, We were defeated, it could not be different, Xlfhite men and whiskey at last laid us low. How could you bring such a demon to aid you, You who profess that you love all mankind? You have slain many, but far more than all you, Wliislcey has slaughtered the best of our kind! Oh, 'twas a demon ye turned loose upon us! Ignorant we of its devilish deeds, So we were captured and slaves made to liquor, It sowed among us the vanquishing seeds. Still we made efforts oft stubborn and hard-fought, Still we submitted not unto your sway, Only when all our warriors were slaughtered Could e'en the white man in peace go his way. 'XVe were not made to be slaves unresisting, High beat our pulses with Liberty's fire, We had far rather strew earth with our corpses Than yield as base servants and sink to the mire! Boast ye your patriots? Ah! let me tell you Vtfe have the patriots, noble and true, Yet when we claim for our patriots' honor, You will not grant it us, you never do. Honor your patriots! They were good warriors, Honor them fully and give them due praise, But let me tell you the patriots dusky Merit in equal part high-praising lays! 164 Those of your patriots most by you honored, Wfashington, Lincoln, and others a score, They were the ones who accomplished the great thii Wlieii of resources they had smallest store. justly you honor the hero transcendent. W'ashington honored by pencil and pen, He was a hero who struggled 'gainst giants, justly you honor such great-hearted men. But, lay aside now both race and condition, Lay all aside that now dazzles your eyes, Tell me then honestly if you believe not Honor at our chieftains' lodge-doorways lies! Ah! now behold them, the sons of the prairies! See how they struggled 'gainst powerful odds, See how they held your best armies in terror, Look how you bowed at the might of their gods! See how defeated so often they rallied, Beaten but never submitting to foes, A Dodging your armies they knew to be stronger, Seeking advantage, you call it to close: ' Call it advantage! Look you at our weapons! Look at our warriors, though brave, true, and bold, Still lacking union and training to meet you On the grim field where your armies you rolled! Then call us treacherous, ambushing scoundrels! Are we to blame for what we're driven to? Each of the nations has its warlike customs, X1Vhat forbids us in like manner to do? igs Ah! how we fought! But the Fates were against us, And the Great Spirit was angry also, If the Great Spirit had then loved the red man, VVe might have been a more conquering foe. But the Great Spirit, the Ruler of Nations, He had decreed the decline of our race, It was the will of the spirit above us That we should yield to the whites this fair place. N35 And who can fight 'gainst the will of high Heaven? 'We could not, you can notg all must obey. 'When the Great Spirit is grieved with a nation, Swift fall the shades of its last closing day. We yield before you, compelled by our Ruler, But We contend for a treatment that's just, If you must treat us alive with dishonor, Give at least credit to those who are dust! I am a beggar: my nation has faded: I plead for justice, I ask nothing moreg I was a chief's son and bred with the white man, Trained in a college, but plunging in war Seeking to save from base thralldom my nation, I lost my all and a beggar became, Nor do I plead for myself in my story, Only I seek to preserve from all shame, All the brave heroes our nation has furnished, All the true patriots, bronzed though they be Give them due honorg you know they deserve it, Wliite men, consider the Indian's Plea! 1 IEVC 111115.

Misses Higbee: ls this the quotation which you were seek- ing? t'The best laid plans often fail to hatch. Miss Lyle: If you wish to see all of the faculty at chapel you will have to attend an opening exercise of a term. Sophomore'Class: The best photographers attempt to be true to the original, so if you want false images you will have to make preparations for that before going to the gallery. E. W. Hellaby: Your paternal advice and your threats also, to the juniors, were altogether fitting and proper, but we do think that you were exceedingly rash to exert yourself over much. You were liable to an attack of nervous prostration. Then to expose yourself to the night air, you might have caught cold. Mr. R. Scruples: The meaning of Words is modined more or less according to the way in which they are used. From the way you refer 'to the words conscientious scruples we should say that they were small packages sent through the mails and used fcr freeing one from military drill. P. W. Chase: In so far as we have been able to learn, the col- lege has no rules designating at which hours and on what days social calls are to be made. VVe do not think advisable to prolong Sun- day until dawn. Miss Stetson: Young men making evening calls should never be allowed to remain later than 10 o'clock. B. H.

Sweet fragrance rose as earth's behest To Sol, in lingering caress. On high the clouds were all alight VVith crimson and with gold, Deepening to purple, at first in the sky The blush was faint, then as more nigh Death's angel came, the tongues of flame Leaped to mid heaven, and the glory bright Diffused its radiance on the earth. And the lake, in loving gratetulness To the Deathless 0ne, for his power to bless, Glowed, at his death, with his own loved hues. 55969696 'When a pair of red lips are upturned to your own VVith no one to gossip about it, ' Do you pray for endurance to let them alone?

Yea, beside the sacred promise To them, of a race eternal, Thou did'st vow and pledge before them But alas! this race ungrateful Has transgressed thy laws so holy. This dear nation pledged before thee, Their alliance now have broken, She casts off her spouse and father, Other gods vile faith to render. Now a foreign lord she bows to, Yea, of bondage it lacks little, And they wish to overthrow her. Our superbe and haughty masters To our tears are now insulting. To their gods they bear the honor Wliicli their arms have won in battle. And today they wish our people, Our fair name and holy altars, At one single blow unholy, To abolish e'en forever. Shall a single vile corruption- 171 Miracle before all others- Now be mighty to o'erwhelm Thy true oracles and councils? Shall it tear in mocking pleasure From us mortals, what thou promised Gift most dear, for which we tarry- Namely, a true lord and saviour? Suffer not that this nerce people, Wfith our richest blood now drunken Shall thus seal, in coldest silence, Voices which, in all the world, now Celebrate thy kind indulgence, And confound celestial powers Never known to mortal being? Wfhat you hold among them faithless- As for me their evil feastings, Wfell you know I hate and pity. And that now among profane ones, All their tables, feasts, libations, Everything, I place in order, That these same pedantic gildings Clothed in which I'm only hated, And adorned with this gold fillet, Wliicli unsought, to wear I'm fated, VVhich was vowed in holy festals, Vowed to Pride, that goddess fearful, This, were I alone in secret, Neath my feet, I'd grind to powder. To these hated decorations I prefer the ashen cinders. Hear, I pray thee, look compassioned See me weeping for my people! Long I've waited for that moment Marked in thy decree allpowerful, Vtfhen the interests of my people I should dare to assume unfearful. 172 7 5 Come at last has that sought moment, And with haste and true oheisance To the presence of my monarch,- Awful tho' to me his presence- I am going to turn my footsteps, It's for thee, Oh, God of Glory, That my way I'm now pursuing! Deign my feeble steps to strengthen As before a monarch haughty, Fiercer than the mighty lion- And who does not know thy power- Otherwise I go unaided. Grant on seeing me before him, That his wrath so Herce, revengeful, Shall be turned to true compassion. May a charm shine in my discourse, Which shall please and move his fancy, May the storms, the Winds, the heavens, Under thy divinest guidance, Quickly turn his fury from us To our harshest, bitterest foeman. jfavorite JBOORQ.

Round this circles brick and mortar, Wfith its cold and dismal dampness: 'Hind his desk bereft of English, Sits a Prof. with face all sunshine, And his mouth points eastward, westward, Reaching farther, farther, earward, There is lost from mortal vision In his dense and grizzly whiskers. From his eyes a merry twinkle, Not unlike to that of Santiesg From his tongue in Grecian accents Flows in softirythmetic measure, f'VVe must hasten, students hasten, Hasten slowly nothing more. Then at once proceeds- the teacher, Suited to his mood and' meter, Slowly from their scarlet casement, VVith a soft and lucidfiicker, ' Draws the tried and trusted glasses, Wliicli so oft, in times perplexing Re-enforce the transportation ' Of those mystic hieroglyphies To that soul so fondly wedded, VVith the Greek muse, God and Goddess. Then begins the day's recital, 'Where went Cyrus with his thousands, How with all his friends and loved ones 179 nf-J aa- , Shared his glories, shared his pleasure, How he fought and died in battle, How they loved him for his manhood, How Clearchus gave them counsel, How they fought and struggled homeward, How their numbers were diminished By the Persian sword and spear point. But these heartless lads and lassies Drop no tear for valiant Cyrus, But across their youthful faces Floats a mist of wild dispair. Then quoth lad and lassie, say they: O these verbs will ne'er untangle, These with all their moods and tenses Taunt me in my peaceful slumbers. O that Greek and Grecian authors, Both were dead and gone forever! Then these lads and lassies later, Onward, upward climb to Homer, There to see new forms and faces, There to see Mars' devastation, There to see the valiant heroes Down to Hades take their flight. There to hear the words of Hector, As he parts from wife and infant, Hear the people in their temple Pray to Zeus, with hands uplifted. This is Greek artf' sings the teacher, WVith his face all bathed in sunshine, This is action, pure and sacred, This the Grecian's view of life. This is where the modern critic Finds his rule for modern life. Drink ye at the fount of blessing. Then he prays with face turned heavenward Q thou Grecian God and Goddess, 180 Grant that in that world hereafter We may pray in Grecian accent, Teach us where and how, we pray thee, We may learn these ilowing accents. And amid that solemn stillness Angel wings are heard to rustle, And a form of white, celestial, Is unwrapt to mortal vision. Then o'er Prof. and lad and lassie Floats a wild, unreal perfume, And they think they are translated To the palace of immortals, Vwfhere the mighty one of nations Holds in love his trusting children. Then this form of glistening whiteness Opens wide a sparkling volume, And from off its dazzling pages Reads these Words in clearest accents, 'KG ye mortals, would-be Grecians, Ye, who boast your wisdom greatest, Ye who now are causing Homer ln his grave to writhe in anguish, By your harsh, unpolished rendering Of his verse so smoothly written, Ye who thus are wounding Homer, Leave him to his peaceful slumber. Stop your everlasting gabble Of that language that you know not. For truly T declare unto thee That your childish, Grecian aping Is the echo of that 'linguaf Of that place that ye call Hades, And the two-fold wicked mortals Shall be doomed in Pluto's presence To commit both Homer's poems, W'hile he floats on burning brimstone. lSl, ' ' -'M' For this tongue that you call Grecian Was transferred in by-gone ages To that place of lasting torment, And is there the wickeds' torture. Therefore now do I command thee, To abhor this Grecian language, And to give your time and talent To that man-ennobling English, For 'tis this that's spake n heaven. The Book was closed, the clasp adjusted, And with wave and mighty gesture Of that white angelic figure, Lad and lassie and professor Wfas once more within that Greek room Circled round with brick and mortar. Quick and silent from that Greek room, Homeward goes both lads and lassies To their own secluded state room. Each one vows in truth and honor By the God who loveth mortals, That this foreign tongue of Hades Never more on earth should flourish, But should be the full employment Of mankind, whene'er he chances, In his restless, future wanderings, Freed from mortal care and burden, To take trips o'er fire and brimstone. For the knowledge of a language Best is learned Where best is spoken. 182 501116 GIJOIIQIUIE OU SDFIITQ. By a Senior.

Few remember today the loss of the steamer Arctic, which, sometime in the fifties, struck another vessel in mid-Atlantic, and went down in two hours carrying with her some three hundred souls. One of the engineers, who was among the saved, is quoted in an account of the disaster, in '!The Epworth Herald, of March 14, 1896, which account forms the basis of the following lines: VVhen the dark night settled down with its gloom o'er the land and the sea, Dark featured fiends of disaster swooped down over hill top and leag And skimmng the low rolling billows, kept time through the night with the motion Of the ill-fated steamer, the Arctic, then plowing her way o'er the ocean. 0 man-devised wonder of progress that plows the dark wave at such rate, Three hundred souls in thy keeping will learn of their danger too late! They parted with friends at thy mooring to view their loved faces no more, They will all disembark in the morning, and stand on Eternity's shore. But look! Sail ho! Ho there, pilot! Reverse the great engine. Turn back! - Danger ahead! Through the darkness a vessel bears down in your track! G dark featured hends of disaster, withhold your dread hands from the main, And let the loved ship with her burden come safely to mooring again. 'Wrench every beam with the tempest, and toss the poor wreck on the strand, But let the clear souls in her bosom in some way come safely to land. ln vain do your victims seek mercy, blanched lips oft implore you in vain. You crush all their hopes in an instant: you croon in your glee at their pain. 195 O angels-sweet guardian angels-descending from heaven above, Bearing to earthlv born mortals vour 1nessaO'e of dutv and love C - 4 X' 6 , 1 Speak to the faithful old pilot who guides the bold ship through the night- There's danger ahead in the darknessg heave way just a point to the right. Three hundred souls in your keeping--three hundred souls share your fate. Turn to the right, faithful pilot, 'twill soon be forever too latef' O God! in thine infinite mercy, behold with thine all-seeing eye! Lift for a moment the darkness, and let the two vessels pass by. Wfithhold not thy bountiful mercy: forsake not the works of thy hand. ' ' Do as thou wilt with the steamer, but bring thine own creatures to land. Yainly do man-devised wonders plow the wild sea in their might, Only a pilot omniscient can stop their collision at night. So the great ship, plunging forward, cut through the gloom with her bow, yVhen right in a path loomed a vessel. 0 God! it's too late to turn now! Crash came the vessels together, all hands rushed on deck in affright. The vessels lurched round in the darkness, then glided from each other's sight. Quick, to the pumps, shouts the captain. The sea pouring in through the breach Gains, swiftly gains, on the workmen. No help, save from God, is in reach. Passengers, frightened to' panic, rush madly round on the deck. Discipline lost in confusion made the more awful the wreck. Madly the boats were contested. for only a few they could save. Surging in wild desperation, the crowd blanched in fear o'er the grave. VVomen and children, unheeded, were lost while the crowd madly rushedg Vainly the captain sought order, but all opposition was crushed. 196 Some, after kneeling in prayer, were calmly resigned to their fate, Some, in the throes of despair, had neglected their souls till too late. Une family group, quite resigned, were clasped in each other's em- braceg Dear to each other in life, they drew closer at ending its race. Blessed the thought to a mortal, united with loved ones in death, To cross the dark river together, the souls that together drew breath! It calms the frail heart in its terror amid weak humanity's wailg It draws immortality nearer and gives us a glimpse through the vail. Une on that ill-fated steamer was nobly deserving of fameg The forecastle gun was his station, the youth, Stewart Holland by name. Vtfhen the ships met in collision, promptly he sprang to his post, Never deserted his duty, but with the steamer was lost. Signal shots rapidly thundered in regular tones o'er the wave, Telling to some one the danger, begging for some one to save. Holland, though one of the sailors who managed the engineer's boat, Stayed bv the forecastle cannon till water poured into its throat. T wo awful hours of tumult, and just at the breaking of dawn, The gun thundered forth its last signal, the ship gave a' lurch and was gone. f ' The form of the noble young gunner gave token of manhood and grace: V , , . The sunshine of calm resolution shone through his powder-smolced face. His were the thoughts of a mortal who counted no effo1't,in vaing His were the deeds of a hero who, dying, will live yet again. His were the deep inspirations that made him of infinite worth: His was the soul of an angel hampered with garments of earth. i Mortals are prone to be selfishg disaster shows actual worth. Heroes are mixed with the rabble as diamonds are mingled with earthg T Vie group them in lots by the acreg the poorest oft seems to be best. But diamonds, when really discovered, give value to ,all of the rest. Hell's awful pit of destruction reeks with its victims within: God makes his children the gunners to signal the dangers of sin. Christians be firm and consistent: life is a span at the mostg Only the mortal has promise who manfully dies at his post. 197 -gg-E It was in the spring vacation, and the hours of recreation, VVere in mirth and laughter passing quickly by, VVhen two junuiors, staid and stately, sitting side by side sedately, In a pony carriage met a student's eye. Pray, in what employment have you found such deep enjoyment That your faces wear a look so strangely bright? i'The last hours of vacation passed in mutual admiration, Came the answer as they quickly sped from sight. St. j'oseph's classic bosom rose and fell in rythmic measure, As a college lad and lassie murmured low,- Since he heard melodious accents from the over-anxious lover, For he told a tale of-well the rest you know! Wliile they sat upon the grassy plat that bordered on the river, And the moon, in silvery shroud, was waning slow, The youth, in halting manner, stole her dimpled hand, and toward him, In his fervor would have-well the rest you know! Vlfhile the maiden sat beside him, in her modesty retiring, And the moon fled laughing, shutting out his glow, The lassie turned her pouting, cherry lips up toward Orion, And that naughty youth, he-well the rest you know! 198 Che llbansp. It is only a pansy blossom, Yet how full of expression it seems, As I look on its purple beauty, Suggesting life's happiest dreams. For today, it is dreary December, And the sickle of chilling death Has garnered its harvest of flowers, Their places with snow to enwreath. And as I behold through my window The dainty white snowflakes fall, I think of the life we are living, And the future awaiting us all. As the snow in its purity covers The bosom and face of the earth, So the Father omnipotent shelters From dangers and trials and death. But I turn again to my Pansy, For I spoke of the dreams it nspires, How it tells of a beauty enduring, VVhich the lover of nature admires! It tells of a life full of fragrance, Of a life filled with fragrance for me, lt tells of an innocent rapture- 011 were it my lot but to be As wholesome and pure as this flower, Vlfhich sprung from the fetters of earth, To fill all the land with true gladness, Because of its own simple birth. Oh could I but have, like the Pansy, A life which, though lowly at best, Might shine with the fragrance of Heaven, To aid the unknown and unblessed. 199 G:Ol1ll1l6I1C6m6l1f KUNG.

Hats and caps were offered to him By the Alpha Taus so kind, But not one in all that frat-house, Suited his fastidious mind. Wfaxed the anger in his bosom, Nobly he restrained it long, But at last, in sharp invective, Spake he his resentment strong: Ts it thus, O ye, my brothers, Ye must harass me alway, Haunt me with bad dreams in night ti Torture me throughout the day? ls it not enough that ever Since the days of early fall, Ye have vexed me with your chatter.

BY ALUMNI. Qld Sol, as he woke one morning, And over Mt. Zion blazed, On a troop of laughing maidens, With astonished eyes, he gazed. From out old East Hall they hastened, VVith hop and skip and run, For they all had worn their Gym suits, And were out for some stolen fun. They brought bats and balls with them, And off to the ball ground Hew, To play base-ball-a thing which, In all hist'ry, no Hillsdale nine could do. Some time was lost in discussion, But the players. at last in place, The game began in earnest, At a most tremendous pace. Gne girl could throw with vigor, One girl could strike a ball, One or two sometimes could catch one, But that being said, is all. The runs were rather longer Thansa girl's breath would allow, The pitcher couldn't reach the catcher, So they changed the grounds, you know. But a man was seen approaching! Wliat should they ever do! Each dropped to the ground in an instant, And said she'd stay there, too. 211 So the man went on his errand, And the game went on with glee, Till the bell, and the pangs of hunger, 'Called them back from their morning spree. 'Twas the Hrst time and the only, That the Hall girls played base-ball, , Played in secret, so 'twas witnessed- Crowd of boys in Griffin Hall. El JBoat 'lRElC6. It was the hrst boat race known at Hillsdale-known but by few until now. It was not on Baw Beese, but on the St. Joe. The course lay from the mill-pond to the lake. It was not inter-collegi- ate, inter-class, nor inter-anything, but just the release of pent-up energies, as the Sophomores closed their advance into classic Greek. A hurried walk to the mill-pondg two boats on the shore, live athletes sent for oarsg they traitorously rush into one boat and eni- bark with all the oars. Behold the consternation on shore! But boards are sought, and the race begins, the athletes far in the lead, their zigzag course taking them far beyond the entrance of the river, out among the pond lilies. But the sailors have one at the lookout, one to steer-with a board held at the stern-and two at the paddles. Their course is straight to the inrushing stream. Qnce out of the mill-pond, no power could drive one boat past the other-for the stream was not wide enough-and in joyous pro- cession the race continues to the lake, with the four, a boat's length ahead of the live. Not numbers, but skill triumphant! The date, May 29, 1868. ' The contestants, members of the Sophomore Greek class. ONE OF THEM. 212. CBouIb's 1ReabQ wit. Monta Gould and Sig Mauck, the Siamese giants, were two jolly men in the early ,7O's, both ine singers. Two ladies, down town, equally good singers, were congenial company for them, and the Morning Star Vocalists, this quartette, had a reputation far beyond Hillsdale. For a long time the two boys could be seen any evening going down the campus after tea, singing in some happy strain, and the evening would be spent in song by the quartette. Sig's younger brother as regularly sat up late at his books and was disturbed by the neglect of studies on the part of the two. Lec- turing them on their short comings, he at one time spiritedly said: Boys, if you do not become more regular in your work, I shall re- port you to the faculty. In a flash, Monta turned on his heel, ex- tended his arms dramatically, and said, in his deep, rich voice: Reg- ular as a clock, go out at six and come in at twelve. He was noted for his repartee as well as for his joyous and blameless life. 213 In the fall of '70, the writer was invited to preach in a church some five or six miles from Hillsdale. Although he had never at- tempted anything of the kind, your scribe had ambitions in that direction, and promptly accepted the invitation. No salary was at- tached to this case, and none was received. The embryo preacher went once in two weeks during the fall and spring, walking, unless someone kindly lent him a horse, feeling then, as he does now, that the patient people gave him ample equivalent for his services in allowing him to practice on them. In the congregation was a very estimable lady, somewhat advanced in years, and reputed to possess no small portion of this world's goods. The aforesaid lady manifested a lively interest in the fortunes of the temporary shepherd, and knowing that he was suffering from a severe attack of impecuniosity, declared her inten- tion of aiding him in his efforts to secure an education. It is not necessary to say that this declaration generated in the heart of the aspirant for theological honors a feeling of joyous-al- though mild-expectancy. As the college drew near its close, the good sister grew more definite in her statement, and finally insisted that the young man should pay her a visit before the end of the spring term, that she might transfer from herself to himself some of that commodity, the love of which furnishes a root for all evil. It was a glorious June morning when your chronicle hired a horse and buggy at the livery stable--unheard of extravagance- and with Wlill Carleton by his side, hied him to the house of his poten- tial benefactor. Carleton exercised the horse, while the writer made his call. After some general conversation, the good soul proceeded to bring out an enormous Bible, and began to turn its leaves in evi- dent search of government bonds. VVhat visions filled the soul of the fortunate youth. At last victory crowned her search, and fish- ing out a fifty cent shin-plaster, she handed it to the young man, saying in tremulous tones, There, my boy, take that, and God bless you. I've always wanted to educate some young man for the gospel ministry. Draw the curtain. L. A. CRANDALL, '73, Chicago. 214 1bow the Zlbeologs hab jfree Hbvertising. I do not know how it is now, but in the olden time the different literary societies exercised a good deal of enterprise and ingenuity in advertising their great occasions. One morning, when the season of 'ianniversaries was near, the good people of Hillsdale arose to ind themselves confronted from every wall and fence and telegraph pole with the question, 'What? Unable on so small a clue to think out a satisfactory answer, they waited for the questioner to answer in his own way. The next morn- ing, instead of an answer, they found confronting them another ques- tion, VVhen P They confessed themselves unable to name a defi- nite time for the ll1ClCl'-Iliff? 'fwhatf' and hoped they would not be kept in suspense longer than another day and night. But the next morning, instead of the answer, there was added another question, 'AVVhere? People were interested, and recognized not only enterprise, but brilliancy in this method of arousing curiosity, and were all wonder- ing what wares would be advertised and from whose brain the scheme eminated. The fact in the matter was this: The Amphictyon com- mittee of arrangements, of which, if I mistake not, the present genial editor of the Free Baptist was chairman, had thought out and put into execution this novel and striking scheme of advertising the approaching anniversary. The next night they made again their rounds, posted the answers to the questions, and then retired, feeling well satisfied with their work and with themselves. Judge of their feelings when on going out the next morning, instead ofireading under their XNhat? VVhen? VVhere? the words they had posted, viz., Anniversary of the Amphictyon Society. Next Vtfednesday Evening, At the College Church, they read, Anniversary of the Theological Society, Next Friday Evening, At the College Church. 215 lxfot only the members of the committee of arrangements, but all the Amphictyons were red hot. The deliberate appropriation of our advertising by those embryo preachers revealed in them an awful depth of depravity, and some of us gave it out as our solemn con- viction that those Theologs were low enough for anything. We had to acknowledge that the laugh was very much on us when we learned that the Theologs had had nothing to do with the matter. Some of the clever Alphas, seeing the opportunity too good to miss, had the Theolog posters printed at their own expense and industriously posted them before morning over the Amphictyon postersg and thus the Theologs had free advertising from both the other societies. JOHN F. DGVVNEY, Class of '7O. The bit of history connected with '69's class memorial may not be familiar to many of the present students, possibly not to many of the readers of The NVolverine. It was particularly interesting to the members of '69 and ,7O. This beautiful conglomerate kindled the class spirit between these two classes to a degree hitherto un- known to our alma mater. Not that '70 coveted the stone, but that we determined to try l69's mettle and to make them some extra labor, and ourselves an immense amount of fun, if possible. All innocently, of course, their discovery, their labor, and their plans were learned. To interfere with their project various sug- gestions were proposed. The first to meet with unanimous ap- proval was the proposition to bury the stone. To this both ladies and gentlemen agreed. The ladies did not take active part in the sepulture, but from the garden tools of the fathers of those whose nes- idences were in town were furnished picks and spades. That very night, May 29th, 1868, when all around was still, and '70 heard no sound, save the stentorious breathing of slumbering 216 and unsuspecting '69, there might have been seen a procession, quiet and solemn as to a human burial, slowly moving westward toward the then site of the conglomerate. Once out of the danger of dis- covery, the solemnity disappeared and a jollier crowd would have been hard to Hnd. The mile and a half was quickly covered. Much hard labor had evidently been expended to unearth the stone and raise it ready for loading. Our task was not so arduous. We set -to work in squads of four and merrily tossed aside the already loos- ened earth. The place of burial now made ready, with a right hearty he-yo-he the conglomerate was consigned to its grave The displaced soil was quickly replaced and the burial was completed. Witli Sophomoric wisdom, we left this motto to assist our superiors to find their treasure, I-Tic jacet juniorum gloria, and turned our faces homeward. I' 'Not a drum was heard nor a funeral notef As we boys from our labor now hurriedg The picks and the shovels we, noiseless, returned, And away to our rooms we all scurried. ' Not long since, Vlfill Carleton, of '69, said to the writer,-'Alf it had not been for a remark you made, the conglomerate would never have been placed. Wfe were utterly disheartened. Your 'How about the conglomerate? provoked me. I found 'Dad' Abbott and told him that stone must be placed, if T had to bear the entire expense. We rallied the class and set the stone in the place designed for it. For which no one is now more thankful than A MEMBER OF '7O. Twenty-five years ago all the boys had reserved seats for them- selves and their several lady friends for a great lecture at the college church. Friends of I. VV. Mauck put up a job by which his girl, at a late hour on the day of the lecture, sent regrets that she must cancel her engagement for the evening. Of course one did not dare in those days to give a lady a second invitation, and ladies who had no Hrst invitation stayed at home. 217 He went to East Hall, called a convention of the uninvited ladies, explained his predicament, invited them all, and just before the lecturer was introduced, marched up the aisle to the front seat followed by six or eight young ladies, to the amusement and confu- sion of his friends, who had an hour before been extending consola- tion to him in his enforced retirement from public' life. Both of our loved and lamented professors, Fowler and Collier, enjoyed playing a clean, harmlesss joke upon a student, and each alike seemed to enjoy it equally when the joke turned upon himself. I well remember how one morning, standing with a class on the outside steps of the lecture room of the old college building, we waited the coming of Professor Fowler to let us in for the morning's recitation, Upon his arrival, he found that he had neglected to bring the key to the door, and Cstudent-likej? we had begun to congratulate ourselves that we should escape from the recitation, when the pro- fessor announced that we should go to the chapel to recite, and. leading the way, marched us up the long flights of stairs, where, on arriving at the door, he found it, also, locked. just as our hopes were about to be realized by the professor's announcing that we would be excused for the morning, the bell- ringer, a young colored man by the name of Steel, came hastening up the stairs with the key, and our disappointment was greatly miti- gated by the pleased look on the face of the professor and his witty remark, as he saw Mr. Steel: Hello! the darkest time is just before day. I do not think the victim of the following joke of Professor Collier will ever forget it, and I am sure. after all these years in the rugged struggle of life, it brings a smile to the faces of some who heard it, as they recall the occasion. The professor, in his teaching, used occasionally to exhibit the 218 effects upon the voice, produced by breathing hydrogen gas. On one of these occasions he called a student up before the class and asked him to breathe the gas and then to speak to his classmates while his lungs were filled with it, in order to illustrate the truth of his teaching. The student promptly responded to the request, but just before taking the gas, to be funny, he asked the professor if there would not ibe danger of his going up feet foremost, if he thus took the gas. The professor instantly put a quietus on the young, man and set the class into convulsions of laughter by saying: Oh, no dan- ger at all! You will go up head first-lightest end up. The custom under which the juniors blacked the boots of sen- iors for commencement day declined, if it did not entirely cease, after 1875. Volney Kent carried his boots over to Milo Coldren, the latter then a junior, and the next day came back on a dray, with cart- age charges which Yolney had to pay 01' grarltznfe In lzis socks. Harry VVamsley, nearly a quarter of a century ago, was a deni- zen of old West Hall, and was one night in another man's room en- gaged with others in some pranks. The report was started that Treas. L. P. Reynolds was making a round of the building, and when his supposed rap on the door was heard, Harry slipped into the closet and the door was closed upon him. The caller feigned Mr. Reynolds voice, and the conversation went on an hour or twog Harry nearly suffocated in the closet amid slop-pails and general rubbish, Qsuch closets were not always neat.j At last the supposed Mr. Rey- nolds, with some remark audible to the prisoner, opened the closet door and found Harry Z'7'yillg to slip up the wal! 011 his bade. It was one of Harry's best friends. The writer of this gives the facts as they were, but he is possibly mistaken in mentioning Wfamsley as the victim. 219 Away back in the mists of antiquity which rest upon the doings of the classes 390, '91, and '92, when the solemn preachers, earnest teachers, stately lawyers, and staid and steady doctors of these days, were in the heyday of college frolics, a good natured rivalry existed between the college frats. The members of one of these frater- nities professed to be much scandalized at the wicked doings of the rival fraternities. It happened on a certain Saturday night that a member of one of the rival fraternities stopped at a well-known res- taurant, down town, to purchase some candy, and was accosted by the proprietor, who asked ,him if he came after the cider which Mr. L. had ordered. Xlvltll perfect innocence CD. he replied that he had, and thus it was that the A. T. O.s regaled themselves on the sweet cider which the Delta Tau Deltas had purchased. Ever after, all that was necessary to stir up the wrath of certain prominent gradu- ates of '90 and '91 was to ask the innocent question, VVho drank the Delta Tau Delta cider? The most successful and harmless college joke which I recall, however, was played on the managers of The Crescent, just after its decease, in the spring of 1875. The purpose of the class of '75 was to publish ten numbers during their senior year and then to turn it over with Uprohts and good will to the succeeding senior class, and so to perpetuate its existence. But alas! it was financially wrecked with the 9th number and never appeared again. One morning, not long after its untimely death, there appeared to the faculty, students and citizens a funeral procession, the duplicate of which, I think, has never been seen on College Hill or elsewhere. It consisted of a long line of buggies, single and double, demo- crat and lumber wagons, followed by an extended line of tall wooden saw horses, taken from the present central building, which was then under process of construction, and these were followed by baby cabs, 220 and finally the procession ended with the doll cart of a little boy, who has since grown to manhood and graduated from the college. This procession extended on College street, from the Sears I-Iouse, in front of the main building, nearly to Dr. Dunn's, at the junction of College and Hillsdale streets. Standing there in perfect order, with no horses attached, and headed toward Oak Grove Ceme- tery, it presented so unique an appearance as to render the impres- sion enduring. . In the front single carriage a board stood on the seat, bearing, in large letters, the name of the chairman of the board of managers, with the legend after his name, Presiding Elder, the was a theo- loguejg in the wagon following was a large wooden crescent, bear- ing the name and heavily draped in mourning, in the next wagon was represented the bearers, in it boards were set in the seats, bearing the names of the editors and the rest of the board of mana- gers, this was followed by rigs for mourners, etc. Everyone seemed to enjoy this clever joke, not even excepting the ones whose names appeared in the van of the procession. I have always had my suspicions of who planned it and carried it through, under cover of the darkness of night, so successfully, and I would like to here give them credit, if I were sure of making no error. But it is, perhaps, best to give them the benefit of the doubt, and to say: Crescent, Hreqniescat in pace, as we welcome the new publication with vivat UI'vOlVC1'l1l6.'7 ARTHUR EDVVIN HAYNES, February 22, 1896.

He passed his boyhood days on the farm, but was a great lover of books, and proved to be a noted speller. Entering Hillsdale Col- lege, he graduated from the classical course in 1866, teach- ing the following year at Con- stantine, but was permitted to spend fifteen months immediate-V ly after this in Europe, in the study of the modern languages. Upon his return he accepted the position as principal of schools in Hudson, Mich., where he re- mained for three years. He then gave a year or more to the raising of funds for the endowment of an Alumni Pro- fessorship, occupying various places of trust and labor connected with city schools, county clerkis office, Republican county commit- tee, and Hillsdale College. In 1879 he was elected trustee, and in 1888 secretary and treasurer of the college, which position he still holds. No other person ever connected with the college has so large an acquaintance with its students and alumni, having looked, with one exception, into the face of every graduate. He married Miss Emily A. Benedict, ofthe class of '68, and together they fill the days with labor for the best interests of Hillsdale College. 224 1. El. Granball. 1 L. A. Crandall, the son of Rev. M. Crandall, was born in Chenango Co., N. Y., in 1850. Having taken the preparatory college work at VVhitestown Seminary, he was entered as a member of the Sophomore class at Hillsdale College in the -fall of '70, graduating in the ,spring of '73, remaining one vear, how- ever, as a student of Theology. Entering upon pastoral work, he took his first charge at Mt. Pleasant, Wfisconsin, afterwards removing to Fairport, New York, where he remained until 1879. ln 1881 he was gradu- ated from the Rochester Theo- logical Seminary, afterwards acting as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Qswego, N. Y., Twenty-third,St. Church of New York City, Euclid Ave. Church, Cleveland, and Memorial Church, Chicago, where he still remains. f Many positions of honor and trust have been given him. As member of the board of trustees of the Chicago University Divinity School, chairman of the 'executive committee of Chicago Baptist Hospital, and member of the ex. committee, both of the Baptist Educational.Society and Baptist Young People's Union, he has proven himself to be a man of exceptional powers, one of whom Hillsdale may well be proud. 225 3osepb 'william flbauch. publishing projects and traveling accepted the chair of Latin at Hill some time in Chicago, followed by joseph NfVilliam Mauck, B.

He was an undergraduate tutor in Greek and Latin from the latter part of his Freshman year until near his graduation. In June, 1875, he was asked to return to assist in the Mathematical Department, but declined in adherence to his his plan to pursue farming. The next year he accepted the chair of Greek, which he resigned during his fourth year of ser- vice to take studies at the johns Hopkins University. Owing to failing health he embarked in for a year or two, after which he sdale, and, again resigning, spent six years in a responsible businesS position in Minneapolis. Since the fall of 1891 he has held the position as president of the State University at Vermillion, South Dakota. He was once elected secretary and treasurer of this col- lege, but declined, and served two terms as trustee. He was an ardent Amphictyon and a member of Delta Tau Delta. 226 1Rev. 3. C. Wlarb.

He has been for six years a member of the foreign mis- sion board, and is also a member of the General Conference Board and a trustee of Hillsdale College. He was married in 1876 to Mary Tewlisbury Cowell, of New Hampshire, who has proven her- self to be a most efficient helper. She has also been active in tem- perance work and in the state work of the NfVoman's Missionary Society. Mr. Wfard, as one of the editors of the Free Baptist Cyclopaedia, has rendered a work to the denomination, the value of which cannot be estimated. He has also, as editor of the Free Baptist, shown himself as a man of literary and business ability. Their only daughter, Mary, is at the present time a member of the class of '97 in the University of Minnesota. She is con- sidered by all who know her to be a young lady of unusual ability, filling most ably the position of literary editor of the Ariel in the University. At the age of nine she united with the church, and since that time has been actively engaged in Christian work, having been elected as president of the Y. NW. C.

Hewill, during the same year. ,I In ,view of his ability and suc- cess as a teacher, he was grant- ed a life State Teachers, Cer- tificate in 1872. He was elected a member of the London Math- ematical Society' December 10, 1885. After a continuous ser- vice of fifteen years in the Chair of Mathematics and Physics in Hillsdale College, he resigned and accepted the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the Michigan Mining School, to which he had been unanimously elected June 6, 1890. ln the summer of 1891 he was unanimously elected to the Olney Memorial Professorship of Mathematics in Kalamazoo College, but did not accept the position, which had been entirely unsolicited. During the three years he was connected with the Michigan Mining School he bought most of the excellent equipment of its Physical Laboratory, and conducted its work with marked suc- cess. lrle was elected assistant Professor of Mathematics in the University of Minnesota in the summer of 1893. The 1895 HGODl1C1',H from which this sketch has been taken, says: He has proved himself- a valuable addition to the faculty and an enthusiastic worlfzer in all things pertaining to university life. A short time before leaving Hillsdale College, by personal correspondence among its friends, he raised a cash fund of over S900 with which to purchase physical apparatus for it, and since leaving, has had- the rare satisfaction of completing the raising of the fund for the Alpha Memorial Monument. which now so fittingly ornaments the campus of his Alma Mater, and which is a testimony of his persevering love and lovaltv. He was elected Professor of Mathematics in the Col- lege of Mining, Metallurgy and the Mechanic Arts of the University of Minnesota, April 2, 1896. 229 pwf. 3. jf. mmap. ,TLA I 1 Y Profaj. F. Downey was pre- nary, after which he graduated from Hillsdale College in 1870, having worked for his own sup- port during most of his college course. The year following his graduation he was appointed in- structor of natural sciences in the college in place of Prof. Collier, who was traveling in Europe. Post-graduate work was taken at the University of Michigan, mainly under Profs. Olney and VVatsOn, which pre- pared him for positions of honor which he afterwards ably filled. After acting as principal of the schools of Cassopolis, Mich., he was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at' the state college of Pennsylvania. After seven years of faithful labor he accepted the position as Professor of Mathematics in the University of Minnesota, where for the past sixteen years he has labored. Two summers have been spent abroad traveling, one summer mostly on foot, through England, Scotland and Ireland, and one summer by bicycle through England, Germany and Belgium. Prof. Downey has become noted through his lectures on scien- tific and literary subjects, such as The Atlanta Campaign, Martin Luther, The Fixed Stars, Leaders, etc. 'He is possessed of an engaging delivery, and his lectures are replete with Valuable information, and relieved by frequent touches of humor. He is an all around man, one of whom Hillsdale is proud, and who is an honor to the great university with which he is so closely allied. Q30 . T Q. 15 pared for college at Three.Riv- ers high school and Colon Semi- Efosepb JB. HDOOFC. joseph B. Moore, Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan, was born in Qakland County, November 3, 1845. He attend- ed Hillsdale College and was a member of the class of 1869, but through stress of poverty, was compelled to leave college in 1868. The degree of.A. M. was conferred upon him by this in- stitution in 1879. After leaving Hillsdale he attended the law school at the University of Michigan, and in 1869 he re- moved to Lapeer and began the practice of his chosen profes- sion. The following year he was elected Circuit Court Comj missioner, and from ,72 to '76 was Prosecuting Attorney of his county. Duringthisperiodhewas ' 7 ' also elected mayor of the city of Lapeer by the largest majority ever given any man for the office. ln the fall of 1876 he was nominated State Senator by the Republican party, but declined on account of professional engage- ments: however, he was again nominated in 1878 and elected. Declining a renomination, he devoted himself to his law practice, and his abilities as a lawyer received fresh encomiums in the famous Barnard-Curtis murder trial, where he successfully defended Mrs. Barnard, a wealthy Grand Rapids woman. In 1887 he was elected Judge of the Sixth judicial Circuit, and it is in this capacity that his abilities have gained him the most renown, for during an encumbency of that office for eight years, he has heard and disposed of upwards of 470 criminal and' 1,500 civil cases, his work being so well done that but two criminal and thirteen civil cases were reversed by the Supreme Court. In the spring of 1895 he received the Republican nomination as Justice of the Supreme Court, to which office he was elected by a large majority. Resigning his office as Circuit judge, judge Moore took his seat upon the Supreme Bench January 1st of the present year. where his career will be watched with interest, not only by the friends of his Alma Mater, but also by his many admirers throughout the State. A 231 fibre. Ella 'Qlllabe Erake. Mrs. Ella VVade Drake was born in jonesville, Mich., in 1842, and hence naturally favors an Annual bearing the name of W'olverine. In the fall of 1842 her parents moved to the town- ship of Litchfield, where her childhood and youth were passed. In 1857, while attend- ing school at Hillsdale, she was baptized and united with the college church. In 1865, she re- turned to school, graduating with T-lillsdale's best class in 1868. Before graduation she taught several terms of district school, and always liked the old plan of hboarding around. The first year after graduation, she taught in the .Ionesville school, and the four subsequent years in VVilton Seminary, Iowa. i In 1874 she was married to Rev. T. H. Drake, of Ohio,.and neither one has yet applied for a divorce. Ot their four children only one still survives to cheer their home and hearts, Grace Radcliffe. Their present home is in South New Lyme, O., where Mr. Drake has been pastor of the Free Baptist Church since 1875, with the exception of six years. They always have a hearty welcome for 'lHillsdale boys and girls. ' 1 232 'illtlashington Garbner. ' Wasliington Gardner is a na- tive of Ohio. ln 1861, when but sixteen years of age, he en- listed in the Union army, becom- ing a member of the 65th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. During his entire term of service he car- ried a musliet. XVas severely wounded in battle 'at Resaca, Georgia, in May, 1864. Hav- ing observed in the army the great advantage the educated have over the uneducated, he determined, if he survived the war, to go to school. VVithin three days after his return from the army he entered, as a stu- dent, an academy near his Ohio home. ln September, 1866, attracted bythe fame olllresident Fairfield as an orator and educator, and influenced by the example of several other Ohio youths, he came to Michigan and entered the Freshman class in Hillsdale College. He early became a member of thc Amphictyon Literary Society and was a charter member of Hillsdale College chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. In the fall of 1869 he entered the Ohio Vlfesleyan University, from which institution he graduated in June, 1870. He studied theology in Boston and law in New York. He began the practice of law in Grand Rapids, but shortly after entered the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. After filling some of the more prominent pulpits in Michigan and Ohio, he was elected to a protessorship in Albion College, with which institution he is still connected. Mr. Gardner has been twice chosen president of the lV.llCl'1lgE!1'l State Sunday School Association. and served as commander of the Department of Michigan Grand Army of the Republic. In March, 1894, he was appointed by Governor John T. Rich, Secretary of State. In the following summer he was by acclamation nominated by the Republican State Convention to be his own successor, and at the ensuing fall election received the largest majority ever given any candidate' for office in the State of Michigan. 233 lb. HD. jforb. Rev. H. M. Ford was born in Hillsdale, April 24, 1853. In 1855 his parents moved to a new farm, six miles southeast'of..the city. Until eighteen years of age he attended the district school, entering college in 1871, but spent the years 1871-1872 in teaching. In 1879 he graduated with honors from the classical course, spending the following year in the study of Theology. He was married in 1880 to Sarah B. Searle, of Topeka, Kansas. His first pastorate, from 1880-1884, was filled at New Lyme, Ohio. The second at Lansing, Mich., from 1884-1887. At this time he was appointed state agent for Michigan, which posi- tion he so ably and faithfully filled that at the end of six years he was elected Field Agent for Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, and was elected to the Field Secretaryship of the Denomination Qctober 4, 1894. As such he is welcomed in all churches: his cheeringwords arouse to' new effort, and one, seeing the result of his labors, can but realize that the denomination has been most fortunate in secur- ing such a man as its secretary. Three children now bless their home,'Ruth, Robert and Ned, the oldest, Paul, having died in 1887. 1Fl. 3. Glorep. Mr. N. Corey was born in Hillsdale, Mich., Ian. 31, 1861.

Hunting was born in Elgin, Ill., in 1848. Wliile yet a child, his parents removed to Byron, Ill., where he spent his youth and early manhood, de- veloping his physical strength and habits of industry on a farm. The simple, sturdy habits of the country people, and their habit of cherishing the church and school, and above all the liter- ary and religious training of his home life, and most of all the wholesome influence of a con- secrated Christian mother, led the young man to unite with the church at an early age, to grad- uate from the Byron High School and later from Hillsdale College with the degree of A. B. in 1873. During his college days he strove to live a manly, Christian life, in class room, in social life, and in his chosen literary society QAm- phictyonj. ln the latter he won the prize at the annual oratorical contest, and was honored by being elected to the spring presidency in his junior year. On his graduation he was appointed tutor of Greek at Hillsdale, in which capacity he taught the following year, where he also pur- sued theological studies. In the summer of 1874. his health becoming impaired, he ac- cepted a call to preach as a supply to a Free Baptist Church in Wis- consin.

's . . traveling the entire distance in a covered wagon. He soon, 'Q Q however, gave up farming, be- , W came a member of the territorial legislature which admitted Ne- braslva to the Union, and resumed the practice of law at Ashland, Nebraska, where the son finished the high school course, and in 1875 entered the civil engineering department of the University of Ne- braska. After remaining one year he entered the scientific course at Hillsdale, from which he graduated in 1884, receiving the mathe- matical prize. Mr. Arnold is now a consulting electrical engineer with offices in Chicago, and his aptitude for his calling may perhaps best be told by quoting the words of a writer in one of the electrical papers: I'Regarding Mr. Arnold's natural engineering abilities it may be said that he has always been trying, even in his schoolboy days, to build something, and his work in this line between the ages of eight and eighteen years extended to the construction of small steam engines, motors and other mechanical appliances, including the first bicycle seen in Nebraska, and a small railroad locomotive complete in every respect. CNote.j l1Vhen about fifteen he began to spend the sum- mers running traction engines doing threshing work on Western farms. He thus acquired a certain amount of skill in the handling 240 of machinery, and spent his summer vacations, when in college, traveling as an engine expert for various engine companies. One summer was spent in the field with a civil engineering party, and on graduation he engaged as general agent for an engine company, which position he held two years. He then became connected with the Allis Company of Milwaukee, leaving this position to become chief designer for the Iowa Iron Wo1'lcs of Dubuque, Iowa, where he designed a number of steam engines, some of which are among the largest now operating in the United States. I-Ie then engaged with the Chicago Great Vlfestern Railway as a civil engineer, and when the road was turned over to the operating department, was made mechanical engineer, a position which he resigned-in 1888 to take a post-graduate course in electrical engineering at Cornell Uni- versity. On leaving Cornell the Thomson-Houston Electric Co. engaged him as engineer and manager for their St. Louis office. Two years later he was appointed consulting engineer of the same company with offices at Chicago, which position he continued to hold after the consolidation of the Thomson-Houston and Edison Companies into the General Electric Company, resigning in Qcto- ber, 1893, to engage in independent practice, which enabled him to give more attention to the affairs of a company which he had pre- viously organized for the manufacture of storage batteries. This company weathered the panic of '93 and '94, and was starting on a profitable basis when its factory was destroyed by ire. A new fac- tory was at once equipped, and the company soon became such a formidable opponent that it was purchased by its chief competitor, resulting in Mr. Arnold clearing a comfortable fortune and making a splendid profit for all connected with him in the enterprise. His principal achievements in the engineering line are the plants of the Intramural Railway at the VVorld's Fair, the City Railway, Little Rock, Ark., the North Shore and the Suburban Railroads at Chicago, and the Fort Dodge, Iowa, Lt. Co., and the Chicago Board of Trade, the three last being constructed under patents issued to him, and known as the Arnold system, which is considered a marked advance in electrical engineering. He is president of the Arnold Electric Power Station Co., a director of the Chicago Technical Club, one of the board of mana- gers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and a mem- ber of the Wfestern Ry. Club. He is also a contributor to the tech- nical journals. ' Mr. Arnold was married in 1886 to Miss Stella Berry of Reading, Mich., a prize member of the Union Society. They have two chil- dren, a son and daughter, aged seven and nine years, respectively. NOTE.-This locomotive will be remembered by the students of' Hillsdale College from 1880 to 1884. 241 'Qlflilliam IE. Elmbler. 7 Wfilliam E. Ambler was born at Medina, Ohio, December 18, 1845, and resided there until his parents removed to Hillsdale in 1859. He pursued work in Hills- dale College until his Junior year. Later he went to Adrian College, where, in 1867, he grad- uated with the degree of A. B. Previously he had attended the law school at Albany, N. Y., from which he graduated and was admitted' to the bar. In 1867 he established himself as a law- yer at Minneapolis, Minn., but in 1868 he returned to Michigan and began the practice of law at . Pentwater. Here he held offices of honor and trust and was identified with the firm of Neilsen 8: Co., bankers. In 1870 Adrian College conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts, and in 1875 Hillsdale College did likewise. Among the positions of trust which Mr. Ambler has held, one of the most note- worthy is that of Senator. He was elected Senator in 1878 and re-elected in 1880. On january 14, 1881, he was elected president pro tem of the Senate, which position he held for one year. Mr. Ambler is a trustee and loyal supporter of Hillsdale College. At present he lives in Cleveland, Ghio, and is a partner in The Curtiss- Ambler Realty Company. 1 242 X I .9 'S fy Z? xx xv.. 4-542 WJ Y ' ' -I -XX .7- xv' ' E W!
