WEN ki X X ,NX 5 gnu. t lMAa,, tv, S- Ss I The class of 1902 have never had cause to regret their choice of Prof. Mc- Diarmid as their class professor. Many years of active duties have come to him since his college days, but his associations with the class show that his student life is not entirely forgotten. His manly character and his ability as a teacher have won for him the highest esteem of all who lcnow him, but to the members of his class he is especially dear, and the many evenings on which they have been entertained in the home of Prof. and Mrs. McDiarmid will never be forgotten. Prof. McDiarmid is a loyal citizen of the United States but this is not the land of his nativity. He is a Canadian by birth and although he has lived for many years in this country, he is still bound by many tender ties to the home land. ln him are combined the best traits of character of both nations. His ancestry and early training furnished those sturdy qualities of character which have ever been Canadafs pride, and his long residence in this country has imbued him with the spirit of progress and activity so characteristic of the American people. 9 Near the quaint little town of Morpeth, on the north shore of Lake Erie, was the birthplace and early home of Hugh McDiarmid. His boyhood years were spent upon his father's farm. He attended school during the winter-months and at length became qualihed to teach. Five years were spent in this work. In 1860, when twenty years of age, he united with the Church of Christ and his services were soon sought as a public speaker. Four years later the young preach- er entered Bethany College, where his ability as a student was soon manifested to all. He was graduated with honors in the class of '67, After leaving school, his first pastorate was at Barnesville, Ohio, which now became his home for two years. lt was during this time that Mr. McDiarmid was married to Miss Mary Campbell, of Morpeth, Ont., who has ever since been the sharer of his labors and joys. Upon leaving Barnesville he went to Kentucky, where five years were spent in preaching and teaching. ln 1875 Mr. McDiarmid's services were sought for the evangelistic field in central Ontario. This work was carried on for eight years, Toronto being his home. During these years many churches were established in this region as a result of his labors. He also edited the Christian Sentinel, a religious monthly published at Toronto. Through the columns of this paper he became endeared to the people throughout all Ontario. But there was a larger work awaiting him, and in 1883 he was called to Cincinnati by Isaac Errett to assist in the work of editing the Christian Standard. Here a period of nine years was spent at the close of which he was chosen president of Bethany College.. During the time of his presidency the number of students in attendance was larger than that of any other period of equal length in the history of the collegeg the same is true of the number of students graduated. ln 1896 he was called to the chair of Church History and New Testament Doctrine in Hiram College, a position which he still holds. Prof. McDiarmid's domestic relations have been most pleasant and thehos- pitality of his home is known to all. The family consists of three sons and two daughters. Of the sons, one is a lawyer in Cincinnati, one is a teacher at More- head, Ky., and one is studying medicine at Ann Arbor. One daughter, Mrs. J. VV. Ritchey, lives in Cincinnati and the other resides with her parents in Hiram. Prof. McDiarmid's chief work for some years has been in the class room, but as a preacher of the gospel he has also gained a wide reputation. His power lies preeminently in the exposition of the Scriptures and his ministry has always resulted in the building up of the church. At the same time his clear, simple declaration of the truth has rendered his work effectual in the evangelistic field. His last protracted meeting was held in Bethany when about thirty of the students accepted the gospel invitation. During his stay in Hiram Prof. McDiarmid has won a large place in the hearts of students and fellow teachers, and it is the wish of all that the pleasant associations formed here may continue for many years to come. IO 1In flbemoriam ARTHUR CHESTER PIERSON Hfllllll' Q. PiQl'S0ll. Arthur C. Pierson was the oldest of a family of three children His father, who had chosen the law as his profession, was of New England stock, and his mother was a native of Pennsylvania. Some time after his marriage the young lawyer, brilliant, ambitious, and full of hope, started with his wife for the West. They stopped for a time at Keosauqua, Iowa, where the subject of this sketch was born, May 20, T852- His parents continued their journey and settled at Jacksonville, Oregon, making that their home until Arthur was a lad of eight years, when his father determined to move to San Francisco. The methods of travel then in that part of the country were quite primitive and the boy was put in charge of some travelers, with whom he rode the entire distance upon a mule. He reached San Francisco early in '61, little knowing what was in store for him, for his father died in '63 and his mother in Ulanuary. '65, leaving him an orphan indeed. His mother's relatives sent for him and his two younger sisters to come to them and so in August of that same year they started on an ocean voyage for that far-off Pennsylvania home. 'When they arrived, Arthur was given a good home with an uncle. Although kindly treated. he desired to be inde- pendent and resolved to begin life for himself. Fearing, however, that his uncle might not approve'his plans, he kept his secret and when opportunity came left home without taking leave of any one. He came to Ohio and found employment with the farmers near Canton. His varied experience was a schooling that taught him the manly virtues of patience, diligence and self-reliance. As he was naturally ambitious, early in life he set his heart upon having a thorough education that his infiuence in the world and power for good might be in- creased. By the strictest economy he saved up a little sum of money which en- abled him to attend Ada Normal School, where he prepared himself for teach- ing in the public schools. Soon after leaving Ada he met Hon. S. E. Young as a fellow-teacher at Kenton, O. Mr, Young, seeing in him a young man of promise, advised him to go to Hiram College to hnish his education, which he did, beginning his study here in 1874. Before coming to Hiram he had united with the church under the preach- ing of Wfilliam Dowling and had resolved to make the ministry his life-work. lt I3 was no small task for him, having to rely upon his own earnings for support, to complete a college course, but in spite of all obstacles, or perhaps by virtue of them, the coveted goal was reached in June, 1879, when he graduated with the degree of Ph. B. From the time of his graduation until his death he served his Alma Mater as teacher with the exception of one year which he gave wholly to preaching. His life was a very busy one, for with all of his duties as a college professor, and they were by no means light, he rarely passed a Sunday without preaching, a work for which he was in great demand. The common people heard him gladly and he rendered many of the weak churches near Hiram valuable service through his ministry, for he considered the needs of the congregation rather than the amount of money to be received for his work. He was also a favorite instructor and lecturer at teachers' institutes, often receiving calls for this work from other states besides his own. In the pulpit and on the platform as well as in the class-room he was helpful and inspiring. He was an honored son of his Alma Mater whom he served for many years as professor of English and Psychology, a position which he held when called from his work by death june 15, Igoo. Professor Pierson was a man of noble ambitions, high ideals and generous impulses, who was always ready to help others, and we feel that life is better and richer for having been associated with him in life's work. He knew what it was to have sorrow and trials, to do work under difficulties, for each of his first two wives died after a long sickness, and yet he made a success of life. He trusted in One that is mighty and leaned upon His strong arm So in his life there was joy with the grief and more of sunshine than of shadow. His visits to the churches week by week and his labor of love among his brethren were to him sources of great satisfaction. A firm belief in the gospel that he preached helped him over many hard places. He was a great lover of poetry especially such as touched upon the future life. Passages like the following from 'Whittier were among his favorites: Alas for him who never sees i The stars shine through his cypress trees, Who hopeless lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marbles play ! I4 and this from Longfellow: And with childlike, credulous affection Vtfe behold their tender buds expand, Emblems of our great resurrection, Emblems of the bright and better land. When death came, as we are told by one who was present, it had no fears for him. He died as he had lived, in the bright hope of a blessed immortality, looking not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are not seen. Although he died in the prime of manhood, his life measured by its varied ertperiences and his untiring service for the good of others is rich and full. He had his faults and limitations as do we all, but we would forget the little short- comings common to our weak humanity and cherish the memory of his many virtues and strive to imitate them. I do but voice the sentiment of many hearts when I say of him, a faithful worker, a true hero, one of Godis noblemen. His work here is Hnished and he is gone, passed away from our field of vision: and yet he lives not only in the bright world beyond, but also in the hearts of many with whom and for whom he worked. He has put off the mortal that crurnbles into dust that he may be clothed with immortality. Hffedit item retro, de terra quod fuit ante, In terras, et quod missumst ex aetheris oris, Id rursum caeli rellatum templa receptantf' God has so ordered his world that we all must leave behind us a legacy in our influence. The memory of one who has been helpful to his fellow-men is like the sweet perfume that lingers in a room after the flower is gone -- a thought in harmony with the following little poem of which Professor Pierson himself is the author: I saw a rose, at early morn, Hang high above a cruel thorn 3 A gardener trimmed the thorn away The rose was there at close of day.. ! K! I saw the muddy water rise, When showers fell from April skiesg The skies put on an azure look, Clear ran the water of the brook. it I saw a star in beauty play Along the glimmering milky way, The star in cloud and shadow set, But o'er me falls its radiance yet. 1 G. A. Pncicn.-iM. I5 KE A.H1NSDALE. BU ATE ATW JOHN M. ,V - CI. W EVERESD HARVEY BIIYKQ HGYOII BillSddlQ. Burke Aaron Hinsdale was born at XVadsworth, Ohio, March 31, 1837. lt was his good fortune to be one of a family in which industry, honesty and good sense were virtues strongly marked. Such educational advantages as the country schools near the farm home afforded were his until his seventeenth year when he became a student of the Eclectic Institute at Hiram. He came as he said 'twith the smell of the furrow on his garments, but he soon became prominent as a student. He was then, as throughout life, a great reader, and he seemed from the first to know how to read profitably. The period of his student life at Hiram extended from the winter of 1853 to the spring of 1860, but it was often broken by intervals during which he taught in the country schools. In the catalogue of 1881 he is named as an as- sistant teacher, and in those of ,62, '63 and '64 he is named as teacher of English. Though it was his ambition to complete a course in one of the eastern colleges he was unable to do so. However upon the broad foundation laid at the Eclectic Institute he built so well that the most prominent institutions of the land were at length glad to confer upon him their degrees. He left Hiram in '64 to become pastor of the church at Solon, Ohio, and in '66 he assumed similar duties with the Franklin Avenue Christian Church of Cleveland. He served also at this time as one of the editors of the Christian Standard. At the opening of Alliance College in the fall of '68 he became pro- fessor of history in that institution. The fall of '69 found him once more at Hiram, this time to occupy the chair of history and English literature in the college now entering on its third year. At the close of his first year in this capacity he was chosen to the presidency of the college, a position whose duties he discharged with marked ability and faith- fulness for twelve years. Although his special field of instruction covered philos- ophy, history, rhetoric and Biblical literature, he never hesitated to take other classes when the distribution of the work made it necessary. He came to his place when the young college with small means and few instructors was striving hard to do the work which its new dignity imposed upon it. Both physically and intellect- ually he was a strong man, yet the burdens of administration and instruction which he took upon himself were heavy even for his broad shoulders. He was a tire- less worker. The class-room claimed him for five and even six hours per day, and as college treasurer he looked after many details of business. The chapel lec- tures, then quite a prominent feature of the work at Hiram, became in his hands a source of great profit to the students. He usually preached twice on Sunday, addressed frequent teachers' associations, contributed copiously to the columns of I7 the Christian Standard and the Christian Quarterly, and prepared and delivered many formal addresses. Some of these addresses he afterward published in a volume entitled Schools and Studies, which he dedicated to the students of Hiram College as a token of remembrance and an acknowledgment of indebted- ness, quoting Bishop Sanderson's saying: I have learned much from my masters, more from my equals, but most of all from my disciples. At least five of his published works were brought out while he was at Hiram. As a teacher he had few equals. He insisted upon honest and thorough work. VVith him mental discipline was the great end of college work, and he sought to make the development of the subject in hand a means to the development of the student. As a disciplinarian he could be stern and severe when occasion demanded, but the kindness of his heart often led him to ask: How can we maintain discipline and yet save these boys T' In his intercourse with students he spoke plainly and without reserve what he thought, especially in the way of criticism or reproof. He seldom praised-perhaps too seldom-but students came to value very highly a word of commendation from him, knowing that it meant much and that there was no flattery in it. He was thoroughly honest and sincere in word and act and he sought to beget those sterling qualities in his stu- dents. At Hiram on last Commencement Day he said 1 The best thing that Gar- field ever did for Hiram students was to teach them to put away cant and other forms of insincerity, to cultivate truth and reality, to be themselves, to be strong, and to quit them like menfl The same might be said with equal truth of Hinsdale, and it is easy to understand why he added, It was a great lessong it still lives in Hiram College. If I did not believe that such is the case the college could not interest me save as a reminiscencef' The debt which Hiram College owes to him it is difficult to over-estimate. The three years preceding his administration formed the transitional period from the academy to the college. The twelve years during which he was at the head of the college gave it its character and stability and made it prominently known among the colleges of the state. To the students of his day and especially to the alumni who long sat at his feet as learners his memory will ever be dear. They will never cease to be thankful that for a time their lives touched his and lylvgrq efarichpd with that power which comes from close contact with a strong and e p u sou . Qf his work as superintendent of the Cleveland schools from 1882 to 1886 and as professor of the art and science of teaching in the University of Michigan from 1888 to the time of his death at Atlanta, Ga., on the twenty-ninth of No- vember, IQOO, space will not permit a review. Suffice it to say that he had won a national reputation as an educator and as an author, and that while his fall in the height of his usefulness and power touches the Hiram fellowship very lglepply-,Chis losi vglll be deplored by every earnest worker in our educational e r .- 1eo1'ge -. o ton. 18 j0bll m. Htwater. Scarce any life was more closely linked with the first twenty years of Hiram history than that of john M. Atwater. He was born on a farm at Mantua Station in june, 1837. His boyhood's home was one of the most influential and substantial Christian homes of all this region. He came to Hiram as a student in T851 and with frequent interruptions of farm work and teaching, he held each year some connection with the school until 1861. As Hiram atthis time gave no degrees he sought one at Oberlin, and here he formed strong attachments. The detail in discipline, the devotion, and the moral atmosphere of the place delighted him: and his life was distinctly tempered by his association with Qberlin. After graduation he returned to Hiram and taught in the spring of '64. He was the last principal of the Eclectic Institute in the year '66-'67, and this last year of the H0lC.l Eclectici' in its good order, and the effectiveness of its class room work has been thought to be one of the best in its history. He was professor of Greek and Latin in the college in ,67-'68, and president of the college from 768 to ,7O. For a time thereafter he gave himself to preaching, holding important pastorates at Wforcester, Mass., at Cleveland, and at other points. A call to .the ill-starred Garheld University at VVichita, Kansas, introduced him again to the much-loved class room. He gave laborious years to Qskaloosa College, Iowa, and accepted the presidency of Central Chris- tian College at Albany, Mo., but here he found that the vigor of life was broken and time had come to rest. He returned to Cleveland in the summer of '99, and renewed pleasantly and familiarly old associations. He preached with a full meas- ure of his old grace and vigor, but the end was closer at hand than friends knew, and on the eve of lan. 17, IQOO, he quietly fell asleep. It would be a personal delight to dwell on almost numberless scenes con- nected with his life. They are all bright, pure, happy. He was an exact student and a strict disciplinarian. He was firm in his own views and plans almost to stubbornness, and yet he was tolerant to an extreme degree of others' feelings and convictions, and he was the soul of courtesy. He was a good man. No one ever would think of connecting him with any questionable doing, he lived in too high an atmosphere. He was a genial man, and yet he was one of the best examples both of natural and cultivated devotion. I9 He knew how to pray. He was always a lover of XVhittier, and such poems as The Eternal Goodness he knew in his heart. President Atwater was spared the grief of knowing of the martyrdom of his son Ernest, a devoted missionary to China, whose early years were passed at Hiram, but his life had full measure of sore trial and sorrow. lt is comforting to know that in all he was sustained by a strength that was more than human. He walked in a Divine fellowship, and in that he is now at rest.-E. B. Wfakeiield. . 5 fs. r K gt I U of e Z0 EGWQV w. EVQYQSI. The subject of this sketch came to Hiram as a student in I852 and re- mained as student, teacher and principal, with brief absences, until 1864. His longest period of absence was when he was a student of Qberlin College, from which he graduated in 1863. He was born at North Hudson, New York, May IO, 1831, and died at Des Moines, Iowa, May 21, 1900. His education began in the public schools of his native state, and at the age of sixteen he was a teacher in the common schools at North Hudson. He afterward attended in succession Geauga Sem- inary at Chester, Ohio, The Wfestern Reserve Eclectic Institute, Hiram, Qhiog Bethany College, 'West Virginia, for a short time: and Oberlin. Ohio, wherc he graduated receiving the degree of A. B. In 1864 he was elected to the presi- flency of Eureka College, Eureka, lllinois. In 1872 he became pastor of the Christian Church at Springfield, Illinois. In 1874 he was professor in Kentucky University at Lexington. In 1877 a second time president of Eureka College. In 1881 he was elected president of Butler College, Irvington, Ind., where he remained until 1886. In 1886 he was elected chancellor of Garfield University, Wfichita, Kansas, where he remained three years. He then became president of the Southern Illinois State Normal 'University at Carbondale, where he remained until elected dean of the College of the Bible in Drake University, a position he held at the time of his death. He was a Uborn teacher and in the class room had few superiors. On the public platform either as preacher or lecturer, though modest he was grace- ful in gesture, felicitous in speech, and brilliant in thought. I He was the author of two books which have had a deservedly wide patron- age: The Divine Demonstration, a work on Christian Evidences, and Sci- ence and Pedagogy of Ethics. His literary style was clear and strong and often elegant. I-Ie had a sensitive nature, a social temperament, and was a delightful com- panion for the fireside circle. He bore au unstained character through his long life, in public and in private, for nearly seventy years: and when he died there was no flaw found in his armor or stain on his shield. He was one of the makers of Hirarn's high character, both as a student and teacher, and in her annals his name deserves to be written large. Ken-r, O. E. M. GREEN. 2 I ' U 1 Benrv Gerould. God's best gift to a cause or a people is a great and consecrated soul. Such a gift was the subject of this memorial. Henry Gerould was born at East Smithfield, Pa. The Cweroulds were pio- neers of the pioneers in the town. ln their cabin the first Christian service was held, the first sermon preached and the first communion celebrated. The family grew to be one of the most numerous and influential in the community, pillars in church and leaders in song. 'While Henry C-rerould's immediate an- cestors were from New England, his remote ancestry were Huguenots. He was fifth in direct descent from Dr. Jabez Ierauld, who fied from France upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In 1830 under the preaching of Silas E. Shepard at East Smithfield thirty- nine men and women accepted the Bible as their only rule of faith and practice. Among the number was Jabez Lawrence Gerould, father of Henry Gerould. Thus Henry Cwerould, whose ancestors suffered for the reformed faith in France, was nurtured in the still purer faith of the primitive gospel. Tn the autumn of 1848 he confessed his faith in Christ and entered upon a service that never faltered to the end. Dr. Cwerould's early education was that of the country school. Later he attended medical college at Geneva, N. Y., and Hudson, Ohio, graduating from the latter in 1864. He also spent three years in the hospitals of Boston. After several years in medical practice at Bedford and Massillon, G., he came in 1874 to Cleveland, where he resided till November 10, 1900, when he fell asleep. Tn 1870 he married Miss Julia Clapp of Mentor, an early Hiram student. This proved a most congenial union. In all their plans and purposes Mr. and Mrs. Gerould were of one heart and one soul. In looking back over the life of Henry Gerould what most impresses one is a certain large manliness, a breadth of human interest and human sympathy, all too rare in this world. Too often the man is lost in the lawyer, the merchant, the school-master. Henry Gerould was a successful physiciang but to his honor be it said that he was greater as a man than as a physician. His activities could no more be limited to his profession than could the sun's light to a single continent. Wherever he lived his presence was felt as a regenerative influence. He set forces at work that did not cease when he went away. He never could be luke- warm in a cause he had espoused. The fervor of his Huguenot blood and the vigor of his Christian faith forbade that. This interest in human life took on successive forms. In his earlier years it ran in Sunday School lines. The records and traditions of the Smithfield church bear witness to his early zeal in Sunday School work. The boy was 23 father to the man. At Bedford, at Massillon, at Cleveland, in the midst of a busy life he found time to superintend the Sunday School. And he was no figure head, he superintended : for always, whatever he did he did with his might. With the rise of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society and the increase of his own resources, Dr. Gerould's sympathies began to How in missionary chan- nels. He became a constant and generous giver. He gave time and thought and strength as well as money. As missionary clerk of the Euclid Avenue Church he doubled and quadrupled the annual offerings. He was the first among the Disciples to support a missionary in the foreign field. But that was only a fraction of his giving. He gave freely for all missionary enterprises, home as well as foreign. lt was an unrealized wish of his heart to build a home for missionaries in the Himalayas, where they could find rest and health during the fierce heats of an Indian summer. One of the finest manifestations of his large sympathy took the direction of Christian education. In a single season Mr. and Mrs. Gerould were bereft of their three little ones. But their sore hearts, instead of closing selfishly upon their own sorrow, opened wide to the world of children and young people. More than one did they help through school or college. Gne young woman on be- coming a Christian was disowned by her people. Dr. Gerould sent her to Bethany College and now she is a missionary in Africa. He gave liberally to the endowment of l-liram College. But the fairest fruitage of his beneiicence is the Missionary Cottage at Hiram. He spared no needful expense upon it. Nothing was too good for the young women who were to live there while gain- ing their education. But he wished its lJCl'lCl'-1Cl2lI'l6S to know that it was not for their sake alone, but for the Masters sake and for the world's sake. Freely they are receiving opportunities of Christian culture, freely they are to give back to a needy world. In harmony with this spirit of service several have already gone from the Gerould Cottage to various fieldsg Dr. Rose Oxer and Misses Mildred Franklin and Susie Rawson to India, and Jennie Britton and Blanche Beck to work among the negroes of the south. The last was hrst to fall at her post, the first to win the victors crown. Such is the story of a noble life. Dr. Gerould was not a rich man measured by the standard of those around him. He might easily have expended all his resources upon his own family and not have been thought extravagant. But he had learned at the feet of Him who came not to be ministered unto but to minis- ter. His was the joy of service in the thorn-paths of earthg his the Come ye blessed amid the unfading glories of heaven. B. S. DEAN. 24 of Pa Vlbrx J bf 9, rx faculty. ELY VAUGHAN ZOLLARS, A.

HALL. l5iSl0l'V of 'OL fNote: The following is an account of the ride of the class of 1901 through the last year of their course. To us it seems somewhat strange that a whole college class should resort to riding. But why should we sit in judgment upon them? Are they not Seniors and with their ripe experience and profound wisdom have they not the right to choose to ride if to them it seemeth bCSt?-EDITOR.1 lNhen on September 25, the special train, which was to carry us the last quarter of our journey, reachedtthe station, there were twenty-four of us eagerly waiting, our tickets, marked 57 QU, carefully clasped in our hands. There was a little trouble in convincing the conductor that these tickets were all right, but this difficulty was soon settled and the journey began. Hardly had the umbrellas, canes, and hatboxes been satisfactorily arranged in the racks when the train stopped with a jerk and one of the studious members of the party, glancing up from his Psychology, discovered that the rest of the class were already enjoying to the utmost the fruit of the chestnut trees which grew near the track. Wlien again en route, it was announced that every one who intended to remain on board was required to make a speech and for awhile silence reigned supreme while each one racked his brains for a subject about which he knew enough to make a speech. After this extraordinary exertion there was a general movement toward the dining car, where an oyster supper was served, brilliant toasts given, and won- derful stories told. 34 The evening shadows had fallen and the lamps were lighted befoire we left the dining car, with its decorations of blue and gold, for a pleasant evening of reading and quiet conversation. The next morning when we awoke. we noticed that duringthe night the train had passed the snow line and the snow became deeper and heavier until it was impossible to go farther. Even this, however, did not daunt the brave spirits of this party. Wliile waiting for the snowplow, sleds were secured and a sleigh ride of ten miles fully repaid all for the enforced delay. All the trains ahead had stopped at a little station near the end of the route and after awhile gone on again, the passengers seemingly much refreshed by the rest afforded there. So we were eagerly looking forward to the time when we too should explore its mysteries, when one day, much to our dismay and aston- ishment, our train passed this haven of rest at such a rapid speed that we only caught an indistinct glimpse of the words 'Senior Vacation above the station door. VVith a sigh of resignation we settle back to the prosaic task of collecting our baggage, for the end of the long journey is very near now. VVe will soon travel life's journey separately. Very intimate and blessed has been our association of four years, but now other scenes, other associates await us. VV e must part, but may parting only strengthen the friendships formed here, and may our names be written on the hearts of those we leave behind. L ,Q ,e 8 EXW? ffm.

Those members of the class of IQO2 who returned in the fall term realized that the hardest year of college life was before them. Our number had been much diminished: some had joined the Senior Literary Classg others had not returned. But the work was begun by the few. During the year, however, sev- eral new names have been added to our roll, so that we now number twenty-four. The publication of an annual was our greatest task. The Seniors had in- timated that it was as life ln the shade of a glen or as .-X picnic in the woods. But we did not attempt the work with this thought in mind: neither have we carried it out in this manner. Wfe have preferred to labor during our Junior year and to have our picnics in the next. I Early in the spring we planted two treesg our class tree on the campus, the other on the beautiful lawn of our class professor. Short exercises attended the planting of both these trees. But the work of the members of 1902 has by no means been confined to what may be called Class XNork. XVe have tried to be of service in the different phases of college life. ln the contests of the evens against the odds, in ath- letics, inthe societies, and in Y. M. C. A. and Y. XV. C. A. work, the members of the class have been found lending a helping hand. The relations between the members of the class have been most pleasant. Our class meetings have always been harmonious, with the possible exception 38 of contests for the election of marshal. A factor in bringing about these cordial relationships was the social at the home of our class professor during the fall term. The members of Professor McDiarmid's class feel very kindly toward him and his estiinable family, and on this account as well as because of the royal entertainment, we enjoyed the evening very much. VVe also enjoyed on the following day, the apples and the Howers which we were permitted to carry home. The memory of that evening' with its attendant joys will always be a pleasure to us. Another social event of the year was the class sleigh ride. For the pleasures of this evening we are indebted to our classmate,'M,iss Bertha Vlfright. VVhen the occasion was propitious, Miss Wiright invited the members of the class and their friends to her home in Burton. lt was indeed an enjoyable evening. VVho can forget the stories, the songs, the contests to see which sleigh would get there first, and the feast of good things, the preparations for the picture, and all the abundant hospitality in the home of Miss Wright! ln the spring term we adopted the plan of taking' early morning walks. As a method of promoting sociability and class spirit, they were decidedly unique, and formed a very pleasant feature of the last days of the year.

Days full of work and play, weeks full ofpleasure and profit, have brought to the historian the difficult Work of making a chronicle of their ever-changing scenes. A difficult work be- cause the class life has pulsed through the college life, through all the countless ramifications of its varied activity. Difficult though the task may be, were we to gather all the varied shreds of the individual class life, and were to weave into one sentence the history of the struggle and effort of the year, we would find unfolding from the loom, in bold, bright letters, this epitome of its history. Deeds, not NVords. The opening days of the school year brought with them the reunion of the class of IQO3. Its members gathered from far and near, the opprobrious epithet of Freshman gone forever, eager to again sit at Minerva's feet and pursue the quest for knowledge. Many who were members last year did not fill their accustomed places on the Old Hill, but in partial payment for their loss new members have come to take their places. To take their places? No. for although classmates may leave a vacant place, in that Pantheon of friendship each has a sacred place. Q Tuesday evening, October 12, the members of the class gathered at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Snoddy for an informal reception. The result, a tighten- ing of the ties that bind, a better acquaintance among the members, a pleasant evening.. For some time our basket-ball boys trained for the Freshman-Sophomore game as best they could under the circumstances, but they were destined to go down in defeat. The game was an intensely exciting one. And although We lost and acknowledge our defeat. let this much be said, that the men who represented '03 in that game acted as representatives worthy of the class, and 43 worthy of the respect of all who love and uphold clean and honest athletics. After the game an informal reception was given in honor of the basket-ball boys. Light refreshments were served, and, a renewed determination incurred, we went to our tasks with greater zest. Cn the morning of March 12, while the morning stars sang together, the red and white flag floated out on the morning breeze, a challenge that was promptly accepted. It is needless to retell the story of that forenoon, of the shouting, of the presidents interference, of the tug of war which followed, of BroWnlee's fall and the end of the struggle. Torn clothes, zero marks, scratches, and, shame to the name of class spirit, knife cuts, will keep that day alive. As to the remaining days of this school year our eyes fail to pierce the future and see what lies beyond. But this we can know, after the busy weeks have passed. at length will come a clay when the members of the class of 1903 must close their career as Sophomores, that clay which marks the middle point of our college course, a day when lfVe part: but of the year just closed Shall pleasant memories cling to each As shells bear inland from the sea The murmur of the rythmic beach.

Having spent one year Without that department called by some the Hay- seed's Rest, the class of '04 has increased mightily in-well, in various ways. The agricultural hearts, red bandannas and wall-eyed astonishment have disap- pearedg and a variegated gang of mossbacks has become an organized college class wearing many lay-down and even some standing collars, spectacles, and pencils well poised upon the ears. The ties binding the class together are so strong that it has become unwritten law to vote down all motions to adjourn meetings of the class. Those particu- larly opposed to such adjournment were Rodefer and Haupt, Harmon and Pinkerton, Morris and Williarnsoii, Hayden and Harmon, and others who had similar tendencies. , Among the memories we recall that pleasant social event in the Hparlorsv when the unsophisticated Sophs. vainly tried to reach the refreshments through every door and window which they knew was locked. lThe front door was open.l In blindness their double ten then Filed across the street and succeeded after repeated attempts in securing one cake from the restaurant when no one was near. The Seniors helped them raise the required 32. 50.- 50 H A few weeks later, however, the same amalgamation aroused courage enough to come nearer the Freshies. Here, again, the honor and dignity of the class was upheld by the athletes of '04. It was a beautiful struggle, but the f'odds could hnd neither ball nor basket and might have played a much better game at another kind of bawl. Of course we were called rough and rude, and perhaps we were, for at least one man was Cross, another really played like a Wolfe, and a third had vowed he VVould-bury them, we had also decided to heap Cowles upon them. This contest was the first of a series that the Freshmen expect to win. The second contest of the list came very soon, and, although it was unsched- uled, yet it was cheerfully accepted. The enemy went out one night in the dark and unfurled their flag from the college tower. At first light, crowds of quiet but planning Freshmen were seen. A scheme was quickly evolved and the fate of the flag was swift. VVith the third report of the ritie the red and white fell and, like the bird with the broken pinion, never soared so high again. With Hag at half-mast the half-hearted Sophomores threw their taunts at the plotters below. At an unguarded moment a quartet of '02 and 'o4 with plenty of nerve and muscle scaled the building, rushed up the roof, overpowered the guard, seized the Hag and hurled it to the frantic mob below. Then the fun began. It was a touching scene, so they say, and so they looked. Superior leadership and strong right arms proved too much for the de- fenders of the muslin. Feebly following their tattered emblem and seeing piece after piece torn away, exhausted and bleeding, the men of '03 decided that it was expedient that one man should die to save the class, whereupon Brownlee died. The victors were then entreated to take all the flag they wished and please stop. It is needless to say that the class here enrolled stands high in the estima- tion of the faculty because we nearly always have our lessons well and we do not permit in our class any anti-Eli Vaughan organizations whose object it is to tor- ment the faculty. , V HISTORI:XN. -,I Senior Eiterarv Glass.

Although our class may not be famous for its great men Qthere is only one among our numberj, yet we trust that we may be granted a small space in some corner Qwe being mostly womenj of the annual record of Hiram life for 1901. We have accomplished no great feats, neither have we committed any unpar- donable crimes. Those sacred ties, ,which are usually quite noticeable among members of other classes, have not as yet been formed among us. Generally speaking, we have been somewhat reserved and quiet throughout our college life, mindful that it is the humble who are exalted. We have been organized as a class only since the fall of IQOO, and we have been busy and happy during the year in the thought that gentle June would soon open the gate to the great highway of broad culture and usefulness. And now, as the buds are springing into new life, we begin to consider, a little sadly it may be, the short time that must elapse before we leave the Qld Hill and all its pleasures to join the great circle of the world's toilers. We know that with the new life will come new responsibilities, that there will be fewer pleasures, perhaps, and greater strugglesg that many times we will turn our tired eyes toward the restful spot where we have so often been inspired to better living. Yet we can say good-bye reverently and thankfully to the Hill, to classmates, and to professors. Our toiling must not be for selfish ends, for we must lose self in the service of our brothers.

However, it has not in its short life been known for its much speaking, having been silently, yet surely, building a solid foundation for its future greatness. The class met for the first time in the latter part of the spring term of IQOO and organized with less than a dozen charter members. Since that time it has increased until now it numbers about thirty. There is in 1905 some very excellent mate- rialg although now in a more or less crude condition, yet it bids fair, after passing through the manufactory of college life, being sawed, planed and polished, to be worthy of a place in some of the world's greatest edifices of church and state. The most prominent social feature of the yeariwas the sleigh-ride to Ravenna on February 2. This was an enjoyable occasion. An excellent oyster supper was served at the Dewey House, where the class had a very merry social time together. This pleasant outing furnished to the participants a relief from their diligent searching for truth, which had been their lot for several months past. After this slight diversion they were better fitted to renew their quests with increased energy and vigorg capable of enjoying more fully the beauties which surrounded them and of taking deeper draughts from the fountain of knowledge. Long will the associations of February 2 be remembered. Basket-ball has been the leading athletic sport of the class of 'o5. Its team is a credit to the class and the outlook for future prestige is hopeful. So prepare, class of '04, for a sharp contest in the next year's game. Propitious has been our start, prosperous the course thus far, and we feel assured that Hiram College need not fear dishonor at the hands of the class of 'o5. I-IISTORIAN. S7 SQIINI' mllSiC QIZISS.

It is with much satisfaction that we leave behind us a thriving, promising Musical Art Society, which it has been our pleasure to organize. Un several occasions large and appreciative audiences have greeted us at our various individual graduating recitals. On the evening of April 23 we com- pleted our work and gave our commencement exercises. Following the program .a most pleasant reception and banquet was given us by the Musical Art Society, together with Prof. Feuchtinger and wife, who are about to take a trip to Germany. lt is with mingled joy and regret that we leave our many associates and be- loved teachers, but we go to give to the World and those about us. 58 Eiterarv Society Balls.

The fiftieth year of the Olive Branch Society has been a most prosperous and enjoyable one. In the early days our sisters planned and worked for the glory and honor of our society. VVe of to-day profit by their labor and follow their example. Though our membership has not been quite as large as last year, we trust our work has been as strong. We lost many of our most faithful members last juneg but new ones have come to us, who, though not filling the vacant places, have brought new energy and enthusiasm to the work. Last commencement week we received a printed program of the first meet- ing'of the Olive Branch Society in 1851. This was framed and presented to the society by Mrs. B. A. Hinsdale and we wish here to express our gratitude to her for this meme-nto of former work. At the beginning of the winter term a number of our old girls who returned for special work were reinstated. VVe have been much benefited by' their experi- ence and the inspiration of their presence. Our programs have been both instructive and entertaining. We have dis- cussed vital subjects in literature. art, and science, selecting those branches of each subject which would apparently bear most directly upon the present life and interests of the society. Extemporaneous speeches have been made a prominent feature of our work this year. Une special musical program was given which was of exceptional interest and profit. There are demands in the world to-day which must be met. There are places which must be filled. These demands can be met and these places can be filled only by men and women who are prepared for them. The college man or woman is expected to be prepared for any emergency. Realizing this, we have attempted to fit ourselves for those duties which may come to us. 66 ln some of our programs we have been assisted by outside friends. We have been very glad to do our share in furnishing music for the programs of other societies, and have enjoyed and appreciated the kindness shown by them in giving us most excellent and pleasing selections. We feel that this is a bond of sympathy which oversteps party lines and makes us one great body. We have been saddened by the loss of one of our former sisters, a faithful member and earnest co-worker in all things which pertained to the welfare of the society. Miss Nellie A. Craft, after a short sickness, died in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 9, 1901. As others leave and still others come to take up the burdens and pleasures of the society, may they find the friendships as true and the bond of sisterhood as strong as they have been to those of us who leave the hall perhaps never to return.

Besides furnishing music for Hiram audiences, they have given several entertainments, and with a reader, one number of a lecture course. i Wliile we regret deeply that the departure of some of its members yvill necessitate a change in its personnel, we hope that the quartet will be reorganized next year. 67 DQIDNC l:if2l'dl'V SOCRW.

Apollo has gathered the strength and inspiration, the devotion and loyalty of other years and crowded them into this passing year, filling it with greater strength and sweeter inspiration, with truer devotion and sterner loyalty. Soon after last yearls historian closed his chronicle, Commencement Wfeek, grim as death, came striding through our midst. VVith rapacious, but never relenting hand, he seized and carried away twenty-two stalwart Delphics, scat- tered them broadcast as the sower scatters the grain, scattered them in the great garden of the world, where no true Delphic can ever prove himself a baneful weed. Wie hear from them, we know their loyalty, we feel the inspiration of The choir invisible of those who live again In minds made better by their presence. The loss was appalling, but the decimated ranks marched boldly to the task of another year. Faithful work and straightforward policy have told. During the past year twenty-seven men have for the first time clasped hands in that cir- cle which surrounds Delphi's shrine, that circle of friendship and fraternal sym- pathy which extends back into the dim past and on into the shadows of the future. At the beginning of the year society interest centered in the contest. En- thusiasm rose like a tidal wave, sweeping all before it. Fourteen men wrote 72 orations. VVhile only three men succeeded in gaining a place among the seven highest, these three acquitted themselves nobly. Wells, Kahle, and Alden,+- third, second, firstf' the judges said. In one grand moment of joy the labor and work of weeks was all repaid, Qur representative then became the representative of the school, and in this latter sense we are proud of Mr. Aldenls efforts at the state contest. First place in delivery and third place in final rank is no small honor, but all honor is due to him whose perseverance and noble efforts have accomplished so much for Delphi and for Hiram. During the year a movement has been started to introduce into the list of society events an annual inter-society debate. Witli this in v,iew, the Delphic Society challenged the Hesperian Society to engage in an annual debate. The arrangements for this debate, which will doubtless be a stimulus to better and stronger work in each society, are being perfected. The primary object is better local society work, but the ultimate object is the entrance into inter-collegiate debating,-a long-felt want. As to the programs for the year, those who have heard them are better suited to judge than the historian. The Oracle in the fall term was one of the best ever given from Delphi's platform. The element of personal offense was almost entirely eliminated. The Senate in the winter term was an enthusiastic and earnest consideration of the Ship Subsidy Bill. There has been an attempt to so assign subjects as to stimulate the use of the public documents, to resurrect from the dust and dark those almost invaluable reports of scientific researches. Time alone can tell whether the effort is conducive to the highest good of the society. If it were imperative to tell of all the plans and hopes that lie warm upon the heart of every Delphic, time and ability would prove impotent. NVhile we look at the past for inspiration, and draw strength from all those noble figures transplanted to the better land, yet our faces are looking toward the future. , The shrine of Delphi is bathed in the ruddy glow of the sunrise of Hope. Its warm sunshine strikes our hearts with thrilling ecstacy. And with hopes and plans quickening into deeds we go forth to bear the burden of our work beneath the shadow of the Maltese cross, seeking ever to prove faithful to the watchword of 4'Duty, Loyalty, Sincerityf' HISTORIAN- 73 1 Sw R x 1 R -K' ' ,XXV .w .x ' fl q ' X ,.f,f' in W fl I ' '4 1 ff!

H BROWN A- ETOVELL Iiistorv of the Besperian Societv. The past year has not only been a prosperous one for the Hesperian Society, but it has also been characterized by the Nxfillll and Vigoru of former years. The growth in membership during the year has been encouraging g new mem- bers have steadily come to us. whose work has been of exceptional merit. No mean part of Hesperia's present strength lies in the new men, men of strong and earnest purpose, who have taken up her work with hearty enthusiasm. The literary work of the year has been characterized by earnestness and sincerity-the true glory of Hesperia. In addition to the regular work a special program has been given each term. That these were of merit was evidenced by the large audiences and words of approval. The annual oratorical contest was held on the evening of December 14. Although Hesperia lost the contest this year, yet she feels proud of the showing made by her representatives. Of the twenty-three who submitted orations, eight were Hesperians, four of whom were given places in the contest. Cn Vlfednesday evening of last commencement week the society presented the Shakespearean drama, Julius Caesar. Although much hard labor and earnest effort are required for presenting a drama of this character, yet the society believes herself amply repaid by the thorough literary training afforded her members. Moreover, her efforts in this direction have been well received. This year the society will present, on the evening of June zo, another Shakespearean play, Othello The quinquennial banquet held on Wfednesday evening of commencement week was a joyous occasion long to be remembered. Hesperians of the present rejoice in their fellowship with Hesperians of the past. The society has been successful in financial affairs. During the year we have paid off all our debt and added one hundred choice volumes to our library. Hesperia has to record with pain the death of one of her most honored sons, Prof. Pierson. She has lost a friend, true and faithful. He has gone from us. but his inHuence remains. At the coming commencement a number of our strong men will be graduated from the societyg while their loss will be felt, yet we have reason to believe that the work of the society will be no less active and aggressive than of yore, for the Star that has made our path bright and glorious in the past is the Star that is guiding us still.

Another chapter, the sixth of Alethea's history, has been written upon the parchment, time. The days of the past year are its pages. Qf each day, the deeds connected with the society are interwoven, forming a smoothly flowing, rounded and almost readable history. Throughout the five chapters it can be noticed that Alethea has been taking one step forward at a time. The character- istics of these steps have been more efficient work, increase in the number of members and a more substantial financial basis. At the close of last school year, the society presented The Little Minister. The play proved to have been wisely chosen and was well received by an excep- tionally large audience. The financial success was unusually great, even for a commencement entertainmentg enough money was obtained to free us from debt and to afford a good beginning for our library fund. VVe wish to express our gratitude to those who kindly assisted in putting this play before the public. 82 During the fall, when Nature dressed herself so becominglv in beautiful shades of red, brown, and green, Alethea took of Nature's robe and decorated her hall. The rich colors of the leaves softly blending, united in sending us sweet words of welcome as we gathered again in the dear hall. Many familiar faces were missing. New members came in gradually. Soon their work was inter- woven with that done by the old members who were left. Thus once more, with a feeling of unity and completeness, the society was ready to begin the duties of another year. Wfe feel confident that the work of the year will be fruitful. The officers and members of the society have discharged their duties faithfully. The leaders of division have. in selecting subjects, aimed at comprehensiveness and thorough- ness. At the same time, something of lighter vein has lent variety and attractive- ness to the programs. Earnest effort is already receiving its reward, but its full fruitage can not now be measured. The coming years will see continually the fuller, stronger life here nourished. In the winter term we presented A King's Daughterl' as our annual enter- tainment. It took much time and patient effort, which, however. have not failed of a reward. It was pronounced by those present a parallel to the former plays given by the society. Now at the close of the year, the society finds herself not at the goal. 'We have advanced during the past year, yet from .where we now stand. we see in the distance, heights not yet attained. 4 This year one of Aletheals daughters has gone to China. Carrie Goodrich Kelly was one of the fifteen girls who were 'honorably discharged from the Clive Branch Society for the purpose of forming another one. Alethea knows that her noble life will be an inspiration to those with whom she will come in contact. A number of the girls leave the hall at the close of the year. Tts friendships will be ever dear to them. The hall and its furnishings to sight will be lost, but not to memory. The picture Truth Triumphant, which is a silent poem to those who have gazed upon it again and again, will be an inspiration in their lives. As they go from the dear associations of Hiram, our motto will abide with themg the little flower we love so well will whisper to their far-away sisters for- get-me-not: and the deep blue arch of heaven will be to them a constant token of that eternal Truth of which we here have caught a vision and toward which we are striving.

HE year now swiftly passing necessitates the turning of a new leaf in the volume of the history of the Garfield Literary Society, and on this leaf is a record which gladdens the heart of each Garfielder as he peruses it, for prosperity can be read in almost every line. Much excellent work has been done throughout the year, work which has resulted in inestimable worth to each individual member. At the beginning of the fall term the majority of the members, as usual, were new, but they soon acquainted themselves with the workings of the society and have, with the few remaining old members, labored diligently to make this year one of pleasure and profit. On account of the large number of members during the Fall and VVinter terms, a fourth division was formed. The most noteworthy feature of the work of the year, aside from the regular order of society work, was the production of Hamlet on the evening of November 27. This was very creditably presented, and demonstrated to the Hiram audience the solid work the Garfield Society is capable of doing. This was perhaps the greatest undertaking the society has ever attempted, and the success attained was so pronounced that we feel encouraged to attempt still greater thing's. The programs throughout the year have been for the most part of a very high order. Although composed of students in the Preparatory Department, the Gar- field Literary Society does work that is in many respects equal to that- of the college societies. For the hrst time in years the Garfield Society stands free from debt. This fact is a source of great satisfaction to its members. Not only has it cleared itself of debt, but has also made a great many needed improve- ments in the appearance of the hall, the most conspicuous of which was the papering of the walls at the beginning of the spring term. The beauty of the hall has been thereby greatly enhanced. Thus the march is upward. The society has every reason for encouragement. Bright is its future. May its uplifting and ennobling influences be transmitted to succeeding preparatory students, and may its motto, which is so significantly true of its present membership, ever be verified: Let us be known by our deedsf' HISTORIAN. ss I F I E i L v li W X! w r w w n ,4 E .

HE First element of success is a vigorous constitution. To acquire a consti- tution which will enable a man to bear the burdens which may fall to his lot, he must not build up the mind at the expense of the body. The sickly student may win the most prizes in school, but the man of brawn and brain wins them in life. Something besides the four walls of a class room is needed to unite the students in a closer fellowship. This fact has been realized' by the students of Hiram College, and an Athletic Association is the result. The physical department of the school has gradually grown until now it is one of the strongest factors of student life. It is pleasing to note the advance that we have made in athletics this year. The Athletic Association is thoroughly organized and competent ohcicials have been untiring in their efforts to make this the most successful year for athletics in the history of the college. The membership of the Association is larger than in any previous year, and ranks among the foremost as to numbers with any college athletic association in the state. The basket-ball season has been one of unusual success. Mr. C. W. VVells, manager of the team, has been very observant as to the wishes of both team and students and has given to the public such a season of basket-ball as was never before dreamed of in Hiram. For the first time our team has met Yale, O. S. U., and O. W. U., besides all the other college and best Y. M. C. A. teams of the state. The team has met the expectations of all, and for the third successive year has won the undisputed collegiate championship of Ohio. The field day last year was a great success. Extensive preparations are being made for that event this year, and it may be safely said that some fast track records will be made. The present outlook for a successful base-ball season is very encouraging. Several members of last year's team are back and the new candidates are exhib- iting much speedy Work. It is the earnest desire of all Hiram students and friends that the present base-ball season will be as successful as the basket-ball season just closing has been. Hiram College has attained a high standard in her various lines of athletics, and is now recognized by other colleges of the state as one of their strongest opponents. 39 liifdlll ZQIIQQQ BGSRCIHBEIII ffdm.

HE season of 1900-01 in basket-ball has been a very prosperous one. We have played more games and met stronger teams than ercr before, and the result has been most satisfactory to the management and to friends and sympathizers of the team. Out of twelve games played we lost but one, and we are glad to say that one was to no less a team than the far-famed team of Yale University, which is known throughout the land as no mean antagonist in any athletic sport. Qur boys have upheld nobly the title they so well won last year, Collegiate Champions of Qhiof' Several teams throughout the state have attempted to- lay claim to this title, but in the minds of all fair, impartial judges the honor without question belongs to Hiram's invincible five. They have Won it both in the number of teams defeated and points scored. In the latter we have far outclassed all other teams in the state, as we have the enviable record of scoring 318 points to our opponents' 139. . The old team has played its last game, but it has made Hiram famous in basket-ball circles throughout the land, and the story of our crack f1ve's victorious career will be told in Hiram for years to come. Capt. Frank G. Carpenter was born on the banks of the Wabash in the city of.Wabasli in the year 1879. He is 6 feet 3 inches tall and in training weighs ISO pounds. The basket-ball team of 1900-01 honored him with the position of captain, a place which he has filled worthily and well. Qur team has always prided itself in using the best judgment in whatever it has done, and that it has used this in some cases at least is verified in the choice of its captain for the past season. Mr. Carpenters strong point is his height, which he uses to good advan- tage when in the vicinity of his opponents goal, for the ball is always placed gently in the basket when the Tall Sycamore of the WTabash is standing under it. There has been a marked unity and good feeling among the players during the past season and it has been largely due to the pleasant, genial nature of their captain, whose wishes they all joyfully obeyed. Mr. Carpenter graduates this year in the literary course, and it is with much regret that we lose our faithful center. Ex-Captain Fred C. Brown is an Ohioan by birth, residing in Hiram. He is 6 feet tall, 21 years of age, and tips the scales at 145 pounds. This is the Q2 third year that Freddie has played the position of right forward on the Hiram basket-ball team, and a better forward cannot be found in any team in the country. Freddie's strong point is accuracy in goal-throwing, together with his fast, clean playing In every game he shoots from two to eight baskets from all points of the HOOT. I-Ie is always in the team work and a foul called on Brown is a rare thing. Richard Garfield Cox, popularly known as Little Zimmief' hails from Penn- sylvania. He measures 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighs 135 pounds. Com- ing to Hiram at the fall of the leaf in '99, Little Zimmieu soon distinguished him- self as being hard to follow. Last year he was chosen first substitute and this year he was perhaps the swiftest on the floor, His strong points are his speed and his nerve, which enable him to handle the ball perhaps more than any other man on the team. His skillful dodging and sensational throws have given him a prestige among the lovers of basket-ball throughout the state. Gaylord VV:-irren, universally known as the f'Never Scored Against, is IQ years of age, stands 6 feet, and weighs 165 pounds. In three seasons of playing he has been scored against but once, and that was two years ago when he was young in the game. He enters the game coolly, but with a firm determination which shows that he is going in to win, and the way he follows his opponent is wonderful. He gives him not only no goals, but no chance to attempt one. He is among the best guards of the land: he has few peers and no superiors. In the year 1899 J. H. Taylor began his basket-ball career as substitute on the Hiram College team. jake is from Rogers, Ohio, is 5 feet IO inches in height and weighs 143 pounds. His excellent work as guard on the first team during the season of 'OO won for him the confidence of all. This year, his tiger leaps into the air, his sensational goal throwing and his steady guarding have been matters of comment among basket-ball enthusiasts throughout the state. Regardless of bruised knees and elbows, black eyes and sprained ankles he always plays a swift and winning game. C. W. W. 93 Hiram ZOIIQQQ Basesliall team. zllamzger-L.'1J. CARTIQR. Capinin-F. C.

Dear Young Ladies of Bowler and Miller Halls :- Personally I do not favor basket-ball as a game for young ladies, and espe- cially public games. I am therefore unwilling to have the match games between the Halls go any farther without the consent of the faculty, which I do not think will be given. You will therefore refrain from making arrangements for any more public games. The school is now criticised for allowing such games and I do not believe any young ladies would be willing to engage in these games if they knew the feeling against it in the minds of the best people. Sincerely, E. V. ZOLLARS. Sabin:--'I'hat communication has no weight as the writer is not a member of this association, CA motion is passed to cancel the games and rebate the balance on ticketsj Wells :-I am going to give you some advice and it is all free.

A systematic course of physical training is to the body what a general course of study is to the mind. And that this is being recognized as true is proved by the greater attention that is being devoted to this branch of science by the Chris- tian Associations, colleges, and universities of our country. The gymnasium training, such as is given in our colleges, is not intended to make a man a Sandow or a Sullivan, neither is it intended as a panacea for all ills. But its object is to keep the body in a healthy condition, develop the weak parts, and so improve the Whole that it may be of the greatest possible service to its owner. The ideal college education toward which We are tending is that by which the body and mind develop harmoniously together, each becoming stronger be- cause of the strength of the other, And then a diploma will be a certificate that the holder has a strong and well trained mind in a vigorous and Well developed body.

Among the many organizations which are lending their assistance in weaving the web of Hiram history, the Oratorical Association is not an unimportant one. It is the object of this association, as stated in the preamble of the constitution, to maintain a higher standard of literary work among the students. This year twenty-three orations, a larger number than ever before, were sent to the judges on thought and composition. This indicates a widespread interest in oratory. But it also indicates that we ought to have some method limiting the number of orations to be sent to the judges on thought and composition. To grade carefully twenty-three orations is no slight task, and it is hardly to be won- dered at that there was an unusual variation in the ranks reported by the various judges. A study of the grades will show that one oration which received first rank from one judge in thought and composition still failed to appear in the local contest. In order to remedy this condition, an article has been added to the constitu- tion, limiting the number of orations to be sent to the judges on thought and composition. The limit has been placed at six for each of the boys' societies. It is believed that this provision will not only give the judges opportunity for Weigh- ing carefully every oration, but that it will also secure as contestants those men who are strongest in both composition and delivery, and therefore best fitted to represent the college in the state contest. This year the grades were opened, and the contestantsannounced by Prof. Hall. According to the custom of the past two years, the grades were kept secret until after the contest. The judges awarded to Mr. C. E. Alden the first place. His oration was logical, vigorous, intenseg his delivery earnest and forceful. In the state contest held at VVooster, Ghio, February 21, IQO1, Mr. Alden represented the college. He received first place in delivery and third in final rank. Hiramls representative has more than once held first place in thought and com- position, but never before Cperhaps un justlyj an equal rank in delivery. The result of the contest reflects credit not only on Mr. Alden's ability and effort, but also on Prof. Kirkpatrick's efficient training. Hiram has demonstrated her ability to win first place in delivery as well as in thought. Let her now so strive that she shall combine the two. PTTSTORIAN. 106 J , t ff X p Jets.

UQver the chaos and strife we call civilization, broods the thought of love as law, changing the motives that make and remake the world. Through all the tempest of selfish time, this law has resolutely demanded the emancipation and regeneration of the raceg a society where the raw and unkindled masses of humanity are touched with sweetness and light 5 a society of equal opportunityg the universal brotherhood of man. The law of brotherhood, then, the law of love-this is the Law of Human Progress. , Man constructed society on the basis of competition. In ancient days the struggle for existence was between organized communitiesg in modern times it is between individuals. Military conflict has changed to industrial rivalry. The spirit of self-seeking, through all its transformations, has been the anarchy of life and the negation of progress. In the closing years of the fifth century began that period of darkness and despair, when all systems contended for supremacy, but when none gained the mastery. Largely to this confusion has been due the slow improvement of Euro- pean civilization. Progress has not come by the law of self-interest, but in spite 107 of it. Eternal wisdom marshals the great procession of the nations, though mortals may slumber in apathy or oppose in madness. The Christian era is reconstructing society on the basis of fraternity. Tn the triumph of love we perceive the destruction of the institutions that have kept men from seeing and living the truth. The ideal of the Christ is a righteous, human order, in which every relation. social, industrial, and political, is one of love. The gospel is a command to organize the practical affairs of liie under the authority of love. The Man of Galilee taught that humanity is the sacred matter of concern: that systems and governments are bad when they enslave the souls of men The old Roman world was a colossal pyramid of power whose base was brutal, agonizing slavery. into this world came the Christ as the great Liberator. teaching the doctrine of equality. His ideal came as a two-edged sword severing truth from falsehood. It came as living dynamite rending the rocks of custom and tradition. lt came as a very earthquake undermining thrones and institu- tions of greed. Rome, the embodiment of egotism: C!n'ist, the incarnation of altruismg and these two in a death grapple! The coniiict that resulted is the war between love and self-interest as the ruling principle of mankind. The turn- ing point of the ages had been reached. From then till now the instruments of bondage have been steadily pushed aside. Rome was subdued but her spirit still lived. XYhen pagan Rome had been destroyed, Christian Rome, with the idea that might makes right, advanced to usurp dominion of the world. Despotic power crushed from the individual every possibility of growth. Freedom of speech was denied: conscience was stiliedg investigation of truth was a crime. Everywhere, save here and there a ray of simple piety, earth seemed to be a hopeless night. But when the hour strikes for mankind to pass into a new form of being, unseen hands draw the bolts from the gates of futurity. and all-subduing inliuence prepares the minds of men for the coming revolution. Even when humanity despairs, Eternal jus- tice never sleeps. The dragon of popery, breathing out hatred and flames of martyrdom, long had stood squarely across the path of progress: but the German Reformation was at hand. Love, in a supreme effort, was now to exert its oninipotence anew. The spirit of the time demanded a man stirred to action by a passionate love for humanity. Behold him! Luther, the courageous monk, the champion of the peo- ple! The blow st1'uck by this man tln'ice a1'med with truth, reached the very foundation of the Papal See. Wfith a mind uncovering all deception, with a heart tired with religious liberty, with an indomitable will knowing no compromise, he sounded a bugle call that woke an indifferent generation from the sleep of error. Tn vain was he accused of heresyg his heresy was the cry of neglected truth calling for recognition. Ereedom of speech had come into collision with the insolent power that claimed the right to open and close the mouth of Christendom. 105 The strife was bitterg the issue was clearly defined. It was the conflict for Christian liberty, the struggle between selfishness and love. Coming into the world in the person of an Humble Peasant, love entered society at the bottom. Through the sluggish life-current of the downtrodden and oppressed, it sent pulsating the idea of equality. lnspired by this idea, the people have been slowly emerging from social and political serfdom. This new-born democracy was the sustaining power of the Reformation: emancipated England from the thralldom of the Popeg wrested representative government from reluctant kingsg and. fired anew by Protestantism, became the foundation of the mighty Republic of America. The Gulf Stream of democracy flows all the way from the the uplifted cross to Plymouth Rock and Bunker Hill. Christianity has never been concession: it is continual aggressiong one province of wrong conquered, its pioneers are already in the heart of another. The Reformation gave the world the idea of religious liberty. America added the fact of political equality. In this virgin land no tyrant threatened to snatch from Freedoms arms her child of promise. Yet, lurking in the human heart. the deadliest enemy of all remained 3 selfishness still constrained mankind to grovel in the dust. The viper of African slavery had fastened its fangs in the nation's breast. Lulled to indiderence by commercial greed, the people slept. But the spirit of abolition waged relentless war against this inhuman crime. lt counseled no retreat: granted no truce: tolerated no compromise. Love cried aloud for the liberation of the slave. Her voice. though sometimes pathetic in its plea, yet struck a sterner note of sublime determination. These are her immortal words: T will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. l will not equivocate: l will not excuse: T will not retreat a single inch, and l will be heard. . At length the people did hearg and the measure of their sacrifice was the measure of their love. Truth called for martyrs. A million men marched northward: a million men marched southward 3 and from its baptism of blood the nation rose to walk in newness of life. Liberty was reassured. Love again had beaten back the hosts of iniquity. The civilization of to-day is far short of the goal of progress. The true brotherhood of man is not yet made manifest. 'Will the forces that have over- come the past subdue the future? Over the earth rests like a pall the shadow of industrial slavery.-a slavery based on helpless hunger and economic greed: a slavery of the spiritually disin- heritedg a slavery of souls consigned to mental apathy worse than physical death. The vital tragedy of the present is the invisible bondage of the laboring classes, which prevents in them the development of their higher powers Wfeary and heartsore. surrounded by the frigid indifference of social superiors. the dumb millions born to toil plod on beneath the burdens of a thankless world. Our organization of society fosters the greatest inequalities. Content is basking on the cheek of toil. ln beautiful cultivated parks rise palaces of luxury. 109 the homes of wealth. In sickening slums are stiffing tenements, the abodes of pov- erty. Streets fester with squalid life, with chronic misery and filth. In the shambles of civilization generations pass away in beggary and ruin, steeped in iniquity, sodden in brutality. The poor, contrasting their condition with that of the rich, grow violent with hate. The clashing of contending classes gives premonition of impending storm. The world stands face to face with agonizing problems by which the accumulated experience of centuries is bewildered, and yet on the solution of which depends the progress of the race. The heart of all our social wrongs and strife is selfishness. Ruthless com- petition is still the recognized law of existence. Ruined business, ruined homes, crushed lives,-an unspeakable mass of blighted humanity is the purple testament of bleeding war between classes IITCTCC in the pursuit of gain. VVhen the blast of industrial conflict blows in our ears, men still imitate the action of the tiger. Civilization is only a covering underneath which the savage nature of man burns with an infernal firef' VVhy do men stagger beneath too heavy burdens? Why do multitudes perish on every hand? Because grasping materialism, with a heart as cold as ice and as hard as the nether millstone, has realized the tyranny of egoism and the anarchy of selfishness. As there is one cause of our social maladies, so there is one remedy. VVe have yet to learn that love is practicalg that love is the fulfilling of libertyg that the Kingdom of God is the dominion of love in a perfectly organized society. We are approaching one of those supreme moments when one world is destroyed and another created. Society is about to pass over to the foundation of brotherhood. As the first flood-tide of Christianity submerged the throne of the Caesars, so the next wave of progress will sweep away the strongholds of selfish- ness. The earth has given birth to new conscience, pungent and strong. Stung to action by the wide pain of the unprivilegedf' this conscience, with destructive and creative energy, is urging humanity toward social and industrial fraternity. Selhshness ever fatally clings to the existing order. Tntrenched behind institutions that satisfy its evil desires, society stands armed with persecution for those demanding a further advance. Progress is attended by violent upheavals because men cling to the dusty cerements of the dead past. The stubborn oppon- ents of reform are invariably the parents of revolution. To the Christ ideal the present is still opposed, but still the Kingdom comes. If men resist its onward march, it will grind them to powder in the fury of its coming. Thus the conflict goes on with ever increasing gains for liberty and love- love deeper than the pillared skies 3 love, the dynamic power ever moving man- kind toward a society regenerated and at peace. Love yet shall lift the soul- destroying weight, shall 'Kheal the hurt and end the foolish loss. Love, un- conquerable in the past, growing mighticr in the present. has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat. Love at last shall bring the benighted millions from the gloom of poverty' and woe into the light of opportunity and joy. IIO ,., ,. if '-abr:?:p1fif:i'gig3,'1 , ,1.1'-i-1:'.fI: -iii?

Ever since 1880 this organization, which makes for a stalwart and noble manhood, has been an increasing factor in the flow and ebb of the life that touches the old Hill. An eternity is needed to estimate its far reaching influences. The past years administration, under the faithful leadership of Mr. L. E. McLachlin, has been marked by earnest, united, and sustained effort in all the various departments. The successes of the past year were due in no small measure to the prayerful- ness and wisdom with which the years work was planned. :X definite year-policy for each department was outlined by the president in conjunction with each chair- man. ln order that the years plans, methods and suggestions found helpful might be accessible to future department workers. each chairman was provided with a permanent record book. These records reveal that Mi3xClV9.HCG1l1611t,' has been the tacit watchword of the year. This is especially manifest in the practical, financial, intellectual, and devotional phases of the work. Last year's leather-bound Hand-book was a model in neatness and utility. Such was the verdict of all. The pratical value of the Lifelwork meetings was everywhere acknowledged. At stated intervals these Life-work meetings-a new feature of l-liramls Associa- tion work-took the place of the regular Saturday night meetings and dealt with the professions of law, medicine, teachings, and the ministry. The speakers were earnest, successful, Christian men, who fully appreciate the vexing' life-problems that confront young manhood. They gave of their time and ripe experience with no remuneration save travelling expenses. Financially, the success of the past year was phenomenal. Notwithstanding the increased expenditure due to the introduction of new phases of work, and to a costlier lecture course, a considerable balance was placed in the hands of the new administration. Such intellectual stimulus and diversion were furnished hy the lecture com- mittee as marked a decided advance over the past. Never in recent years has Hi- ram witnessed among the student body such a widespread intellectual and moral quickening' in the interests of world-wide conditions and claims, as marked the past year. II2 The principal human factors in producing these results have been the mis- sionary committee, J. R. Mott's epoch-making text-book, the devoted class-leader- ship of Prof. C. T. Paul and the consecrated church-leadership of Rev. G. L. VVharton. The spiritual life of the manhood of the college has been quickened and fostered by many agencies. In this Christly labor the association has borne no small part through the social and devotional phases of its work. As the devo- tional study of the Book of books lies at the basis of all growth in the Christly qualities of mind and heart, this work was pushed with prayerful, persistent efforts by the Bible Study Committee. The peculiar existing local conditions presented a difficult problem, but it was successfully solved and a broad, firm basis for future work has been laid. Among the many other forces that have contributed to the spiritual uplift of the college manhood, may be mentioned the brief, helpful visit of Mr. Scott Cook of Fayette, Ohio, during the days of the fall campaigng the manly sociability of the fellows: the hearty alliance with clean athleticsg the presence of four men at the Geneva and Northfield summer conferences: the keep- ing of the Morning Vtfatch 3 the helpful influence of the noonday and Saturday night meetings, and most especially the blessing of Him whose We are and Whom we serve. ' To Him above all else belong' praise and adoration for the rich blessings of the past year. His has been the strength and the wisdom which was granted in rich measure to those who sought to win men to Christ. to build men up in Christ. and to send men out to work for Christ. . May a double portion of His blessing come upon the present year's adminis- tration. HIS'fORIiNN. fffp, U ,il 73 N ,., 4, lkhnlxvl 1 C wr - if at-.ire we is rg f X 3, s . .Ny In px- Nw. 4.

H. Another year, with all the opportunities which the Y. NM C. A. affords for Christian work, is past: and the question naturally arises, f'Wliat has been wrought ?', One of the characteristics of the Hiram society-the reception for the new girls-met with its usual success. Each new girl met somany students that at the end of the evening the names were all a merry jumbleg butshe went home happy, feeling that now she could speak to the girls even though she could not remember their names. VVe have had so many practical, helpful meetings this year. One held Octo- ber 27, was very helpful to the new girls who did not understand the work- ings of the Y. W. C. A. At this meeting brief summaries were made of the object of the association, our work in the past year, and our aims and plans for the coming year, thus giving the girls an insight into the work at the very start. Another meeting that was very helpful was the life-work meeting led by Mrs. Lowry, our state secretary, in which she said our life-work should be winning souls for Christ. VVe enjoyed Mrs. Lowry's stay with us, for she was like a beam of sunshine and left a lasting impression on many of the girls who met her. Three of our girls attended the summer school at Geneva this year and five attended the state convention. Our president, Miss Mary Folks, spent a month in Toledo receiving special training in city Y. NV. C. A. work. At the beginning of the winter term the chairman of our devotional com- mittee, Miss Clara Darsie, received a call to a larger field of usefulness. She is now working in connection with the Central Pittsburg Association as factory spe- cialist. All her time is spent with the factory girls in holding Gospel meetings at the noon hour, in distributing literature, and in every way possible helping the girls to a truer and better womanhood. VVe have been very fortunate in having the needs of foreign missions pre- sented to us by workers -from various fields. As Dr. Rijnhart, Miss Hostetter, Miss Lyon, 'Miss Frost, and Mrs. Wliartoii presented the needs of the Women of Thibet, japan, China, and lndia, we felt, as never before, the responsibility resting upon the Christians of this enlightened land. 116 Systematic giving' for missions has been continued this year and about thirty- two dollars raised by this means. We have also helped in supporting the state and world's work. 1 A most flourishing mission study class has been maintained this year under the auspices of the two associations with Professor Paul as leader. The book studied during the fall and winter terms was 'fThe Evangelization of the World in This Generation. The associations were very fortunate in securing so efficient a leader as Professor Paul and to him, in a large measure, has been due the suc- cess of the class. Four Bible classes were formed in the fall and three in the winter. These have been well attended. The meetings have been held on Sunday afternoon in- stead of in the morning so that they could in no wise interfere with the Sunday School. -VVe have gained in numbers and in strength during the year that is past and feel that God has blessed our work. Our watchword for the year has been Soul Savingf, HISTORIAN. FK JK s o x i 6 T X IIT Egg , N- . ,.44if,,2-9-'B Zig,-Z X xx T is eta! ' .-st .. Ni. T W S N. 4 rg.. HW CIR SIIIGQIII UOIIIIIIQQI' Bdlld.

It is composed of those members who purpose to preach Christ where he is not named. The school year began with a membership of three, which has been increased to nine. Much attention has been given to the mission study class conducted by Prof. Paul. The class is very much larger than those of previous years. It is not exclusively for volunteers but for all who will avail themselves of the opportunity to learn more of the growth of Godis kingdom. Lectures are given from time to time by those personally interested in the work. 1 The day of prayer for missions was observed and much good resulted. The missionaries that now represent Hiram on the foreign field are: Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Miss Franklin, Hurda, lndiag Miss Oxer and Miss Rawson, Mahoba, Indiag Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, Calcutta, lndiag Miss Mary Kelly, Nankin, Chinag Dr. and Mrs. Qsgood, Chu Cheo, Chinag Mr. and Mrs. Titus, Lu Cheo Fu, Chinag Mrs. Kelly, Chinag Miss Hostetter, Lendai, japan. One student is now Linder appointment and will go soon. May many others feel it in their hearts to go or assist in sending others to this much needed work.

The path of every great movement is beset with difticulties. ln the early dawn of our history we had great difficulty in choosing a name at all befitting the greatness of the organization, but at last Prof. Feuchtinger came to our rescue and we chose a name both dignified and euphonious, The Musical Art Society. The dignity of the society may be seen from its parliamentary procedure. We have observed Roberts Rules of Order whenever it seemed practicable, but whenever not, we have made, to suit ourselves, rules of order, which have not yet been published. The most distinguishing characteristic of our meetings has been their en- thusiasm. Even the first meeting was well attended and the work was begun with vim and vigor. After the society machinery was in working order there was need of some channel through which this enthusiasm might expend itself. The suggestion that we give an entertainment was hailed with joy. The comic opera Pinafore was selected. In addition to the regular members the services of all the best vocalists in town were secured and practice began at once. The acting and the singing of the principal characters was of the highest order. But no one can live continually in the artificial world of the play. On the decks of H. M. S. Pinafore Ralph wooed and won his hlosephine, but when the good ship was safely anchored in port and all had disembarked, strange as it may seem, old Dick Deadeyef' once a pessimist, but no longer so, strolled homeward with Josephine under the starlit canopy of blue. ' During the last rehearsals several visitors were present. Wfe are deeply grateful to them for the interest shown. Their presence was an inspiration, espe- cially to some members of the cast. You all know the story of Friday night, March 15. The bard has sung to you of the glory of our triumph. The society wishes to thank those who, although not members, freely gave their time and talent to help in the presentation of the opera. This is but an indication of the success of the society and a prophecy of its future. Our star has not yet reached the zenith. It is still rising and will continue to rise, as the years go by, never darkened by the clouds of obscurity nor vanishing into the night of oblivion. - I-l I s'roRI.fx N. I2O Che new England Klub.

The commencement of 1901 closed the second year of the history of the New England organization. With the ushering in of the school year of 'oo and 'or six new members added their names to the club roll. The present strength of the eastern delegation is seventeen members, one of whom is honorary. As a social feature in college life, the New England Club has been a recog- nized success. Tannerdayle has twice entertained the members and their friends, the popular verdict being, A royal entertainment by right royal entertainers. The honorary member from the old Bay State has sustained her reputation as a true friend to all New Englanders, and she, together with her jovial spouse, has done much to further the success of the club along social lines. Many thanks are due to the charming mistress of Bowler Hall for the hospitality she has ex- tended. The fagot party of january 24, IQOI, still lives in our memories, and the success of that gathering redounds largely to her credit. Many friends outside of New England have lent their aid, and thus the year has been one of pleasure to all. New Englanders are ever active and ambitious. The club members have not belied their reputation. The ladies have made their mark in musical circles and in the class room, while the young men, prominent in many walks of college activity, have entered the athletic field and with an organized basket-ball team. stand ready to defend their claim to the locality championship. As an organization of New England people we welcome to the college all New Englanders, and pledge them our loyal support and hearty co-operation in making the college life pleasant and profitable.

Six short years have passed since the Canadian Club was organized. During this time our number has gradually increased until we have reached twenty-eight, including six honorary members. VVe hope that these have been years of great usefulness and mutual help. There is always a sadness when the time comes to bid Farewell,', if only for a short time, to the dear homes of our childhood, but some of that sadness may be forgotten if we are received into our new homes with extended hands and loving hearts of friends who are willing to help and encourage us. And this is truly what we have received from our American cousins. Wliile we shall always sing with great pride, The Maple Leaf Forever, we will never forget The Stars and Stripes. Canada has many great educational institutions of her own, yet in this age of expansion, she encourages her sons and daughters to go forth to explore other lands and learn of the ways and customs of her neighbors. During the past year the Club has at different times met with a number of their friends and spent an evening with games, speeches, music and other social enjoyments. Every gathering has been enthusiastic and well attended, and pride in the land of the maple has been kept at a glowing heat.

Its primary object was to bring about a closer relationship of Hiram Hoosiers in order that new and old might become acquaint- ed. To this end plans were made to secure some suitable badge. It was decided that no more desirable emblem could be found than the state seal. This was neatly arranged on a suitable button and worn by each member. No regular time of meeting was appointed, but the purpose of the organiza- tion vvas accomplished by means of the Indiana Button. However, some meet- ings were called to plan for ball games and banquets. The close of the year Ends Indiana better represented than ever before. While she can boast of her own schools of all grades, yet she always keeps in touch with education in other states. Hoosiers have been active in all phases of Hiram life, from gym. to class room. and in no place have they been outdone. In the years to come may the Banks of the XYabash furnish many students to the Old Hill. I23 Premier tennis Zlub. Presfdenf-F. C. RICHARDSON. Secrefzzry and Treasznfer-R. G. COX.

Besides the abundance of game of various kinds there is also a freedom from the restrictions which are placed upon the sport in other places. Hiram is supposed to be governed by the laws of the state, but the game laws are entirely ignored and the hunter goes in quest of his game, in season and out of season. Below is given a list of the mighty hunters and the game they love to hunt. 1. Dew-Drake. 2. Miss Carson-Lyon. 3. Miss Winchell-Ca1'p. 4. Miss VVitmer-Martin. fThus tar this has been an unsuccessful hunt.j 5. Carter-Quayle, fthe species here is not so timid as those in other parts and so it is not necessary for the hunter to shoot the game at long range, but it may be trapped and ensnared and so taken alive.j 6. Although the Wolf occasionally takes alamb or kid from the fold, still the hunters have not given it much attention as yet. 7. Then, too, there are the Koons, but as larger game is plentiful they have been allowed to live their life unmolested. 127 IRAIVI OLLEGE ADVANCE. Vol. Xl. HIRAM, O., APRIL 15, 1901. No. 13.

The editors of this volume believe that inasmuch as they neglected to obtain more than one picture of themselves, they may be pardoned, if, as a brief intro- duction, they make a few remarks. We congratulate our honored predecessors upon their excellent annual. We have received from them, and borne as best we might, the Hjunioris Burden gi' but we regret that in their eagerness to shift the Burden to om' shoulders, they forgot to rid themselves of all the load. We congratulate them also upon their remarkable power of prophetic vision, manifested Qperhaps unwittinglyj when, upon the corresponding page of their book, they inserted the above photograph labelled, HUp a Tree. How unspeak- ably sad that when the long toil and strife were ended, when the illusive glamour of active effort had passed away, they found themselves indeed Up a Tree. We need not explain. VVe simply point to those inspiring words which appeared on the letter head of the 1901 Spider Wel9 : Every dollar above cost of publica- tion goes to the Hirawzr College Iublilee Endotwlzent Fund. Should any desire to learn the amount thus contributed, we refer them to the business manager of the 1901 annual. W'e have not the prophetic gift. XV e know not what fate awaits us. We promise neither to endow the college nor build the electric railway. If from the publication of this volume, we shall gain profits sufficient to buy us each a sack of peanuts or even a nice yellow orange we will be abundantly satisfied. Then if to this shall be added the consciousness of work well done and kindly words from those who read our book, we ask no further gain. . ISI Ediwfidl Hbdfd. the l902 Spider web.

In the old grey tower hung the bell In the days of the long agog And its peal was rung when the heads were young That with years are bending low. CREED Uh, the old college bell! In its throat the swell of laughter or of tears 3 Oh, the old college bell! It is ringing out the story of the years. In its lofty tower hangs the bell, As it hung in the days of yoreg And its call is clear to the duties here, And the best that lies before. Yet a spirit e'er haunts the bell, There's a spell o'er its music castg And the song it sings like an echo rings, y Qt the half forgotten past. There's the chime of the wedding bells, The surge of the eity's tide, 'And the eeaseless throb of the waves' deep sob, By the sea where our Hero died. 0'er the distant hills chimes the bell, And the tones come softly sweetg As the friends of yore gather in once more, And the old green hilltop greet. - MYRTA G.

The Storm King had kept her hidden under a mantle N 'V X of snow for so long and she had been waiting so eagerly for ! , K Q him to eall away his snow fairies and send his sunbeam and Q .gl raindrop fairies. She had heard so much about the bright - V ' .

' Little Blue Violets mother had been listening a long , ,X time for the sunbeams to call them, and one day the gentle 'f fairies Huttered down from the sky and danced over the 'N ,af meadows, Wake up, little friendsf' they cried, wake up, for it is springtime. And that voice did awaken the little violets, and all fresh and beautiful they came out into the 5 bright warm world above. Oh, how beautiful it all was! Little Blue Violet had 1:1 nw .- r bla fy . I. , never seen anything so lovely. It was all so new to her, and how many questions she did ask her brothers and sisters 5 she p f wanted to know who the robin was, the bluebird and the ' 'IVF canary: where the wind came from, and of what the brook was singing. Sometimes her brothers and sisters grew tired of answering her and then she wanted oh, Su much to ask - Golden Dandelion about everything, for he looked so wise WWW +2 I ff as But he was much taller than she, and he looked so proud that she was afraid to speak to him. But it happened that for a long time Dandelion had been watching Little Blue Violet, and one day when a friendly breeze passed by, he nodded to her and soon they were talking like the best of old friends. Every day Little Blue Violet grew taller and more beautiful. and every day she and Dandelion became better friends, How they did enjoy playing with the 137 sunbeams! And then when the crystal diamonds came from the clouds, what fun they had seeing who could catch the most! But one day Dandelion and Little Blue Violet were made so unhappy, a wind came along and told Dandelion that he would be growing old very soon, and must go away and leave Little Violet. Poor Little Violet! She was so unhappy, for Golden Dandelion had been her best friendg he had watched over her so carefully, and had always told her when the Herce winds were coming, and when to droop and hide her little head among the grasses, and then he had often stood by and sheltered her from the storms, and now she was soon to be left alone. Little Blue Violet couldnlt believe it. Surely, she thought to herself, my beloved Dandelion is never going to grow old, for he is so tall and strong, he never quails before the fiercest storms. But the wind knew, and sure enough one morning Little Blue Violet noticed how thin and pale Dandelion had grown- and yes, his golden locks were really growing white. Poor Little Violets heart was breaking, try ever so hard she could not cheer or nurse Dandelion back to health, and one morning when she turned her head to nod to him, he wasn't there. She looked and called for him, but no answer came. At last she did hear a faint whisper and stretching her pretty head as far as she could she caught a glimpse of him. But oh, how changed !-he was pale and drooping and no longer held his head proudly as he had done. His beautiful golden locks were gone, and his voice was so weak he could only whisper to Violet. After that Little Blue Violet never wanted to leave Dandeliong she watched beside him, always singing softly and sweetly, scarcely would she leave him when her brothers and sisters called her to play. All the ferns and flowers talked it over many a time and said how Violet was changed 5 she was no longer merry and happyg she had grown sad and no longer held her head lightly but seemed broken and weary, and one day when they were hunting for her they found her gentle little face pressed close to Dandelions Little Blue Violet had died with her beloved. Together they buried them. All the birds, flowers, ferns and trees came to the funeral, the robins and bluebirds sang to the sweet music of the lily-bells, and Jack-in-the-pulpit in his reverent way spoke farewell words over the little moundg and all around was the music and fragrance of the springtime, but Golden Dan- delion and Little Blue Violet were dead.

Snugly it lies there and calm In its bed upon the sand, And into it she steps With the help of a willing hand. Then a long, strong shove, A final push, and a leap Upon the boat, as it yields at last And moves out into the deep. Out where the bending reeds And waving rushes. grow, Where the little fishes go to sleep On the mossy beds below. Clear is the water as crystal, White are the shells as pearls, Blue are the eyes that glisten, Brown is the wealth of curls. And onward yet we move Beyond where the rushes sway, Farther out on the beautiful lake While slowly fades the day. Gently the wavelets beat Against our little barque, Gently the twilight deepens And thickcns into dark. 139 Farther and farther recedes the beach, More distant grows the shore, Yet more softly blows the wind As we slowly dip the oar. One by one along the banks The cottage lights appear, Some are green, some are red, And some are white and clear. And as the lights below shine out, So, above, a star, Wfith its green light, red light, white light Coming from afar. And at last our boat lies idle For the waves have ceased their play, They have ceased their charming music And the wind has died away. All is hushed and calm and quiet, Darker yet becomes the night, And the dim and distant landscape Fades entirely from our sight. KD how restful here to linger On this lifeless pulseless deep, Here to sit and think and ponder As the stars their vigils keep. Thinking of this world of ours Made by God's almighty hand, VVith its boundless waste of water And its broad expanse of land, VVith its forests, fields, and gardens, And its mountains, vales, and hills: NVith its golden mines, and silver, And its rivers, lakes, and rillsg Wfith its green groves in the spring-time, Filled with music, soft and mellow, And the dropping leaves of autumn, Making carpets, golden yellow: 'With its numberless creation, Filling earth and filling sky, Teeming in the waters round us, Living only but to die. Million millions gain existence, Living out life's little span, Playing each his own small part I4O In some great and wondrous plan, And among them, yet above them, Towering over all, is man. Man, that strange and mighty being, Full of weakness, full of power, King of all this worlds creation, Prince of all, creation's llower. Bringing down the bolts of heaven, Bringing up earth's wealth below, Spanning also gray old ocean, Speeding world-life to and frog Daily growing and advancing, Building higher than the past, Ever widening his dominion, Vlfill he conquer all at last? Xlllho can set the marks that bound The advance of mortal mind, Saving, here the end of progress, End of all improvement find? Dare we thus mark off the limits Of this being in Gods image made, Before time's, course has all been run Before man's part has all been played? VVill he not go on unfolding Like the bud in leafy spring, VVill he not mount higher, higher Like the bird on tireless wing? Turning quickly from the false, Turning gladly to the true, Mounting higher, drawing nearer. To the land beyond the blue? As we sit thus, lost in thinking, Slyly o'er the tree-tops peeps The queen of night in all her glory. Wfhile beneath creation sleeps. And as, upon the mirrored surface of the lake The mellow moon-beams fall, The sleeping wavelets ope their eyes And answer to the gentle call. And as the brilliant orb of night Slowly climbs the eastern sky, Drawing nearer, ever nearer, To the twinkling stars on high. 14.1 We raise our eyes yet once again To that broad o'er-roofing dome, And drinking in its matchless beauty, Turn our little boat toward home. And as the oars once more we dip And move along our way, The moon-beams on the wavelets rest And on the ripples play. Slowly onward moves our barque, And ever in its wake A broadening band of gold is seen Stretching far across the lake. But 'tis late and we must leave it, Just before us lies the shore. A last deep stroke and we glide onward, Resting on uplifted oar. Our delightful trip is over. VVe have almost reached the land. Une short pause, and then our boat Gently grates upon the sand. H. M.

Coming under the observation of some Catholic mis- sionaries, he was sent by them to the Pontifical University at Rome. Here Mr. Kofi won the highest honors in his classes. But the monastic life was distasteful to him. His parents were in America and he longed to join them. After many weeks of patient waiting, he succeeded in escaping from Rome and landed in America in May, IQOQ. He entered Hiram College in September of the same year.-Enrrorel I am very glad to have go-ne to Hiram College. Hiram College is superior to that of Rome in many important views. In it I find things which never will be found in my College of Romeg here are some of them: CID The social life. If anybody should ask me about my age, my answer will be to him that I am not yet one year old. The life I spent in Rome is as it is spent in a tomb. The only persons with whom I was allowed to speak Were, according to the rules, no more than twelve black ravens. For ive years I did not speak with any lady at all. To speak with young ladies-this was one of the greatest impossibilities. Wfeiought to fear and avoid it as sin itself. When I walked in the streets in Rome my head was bowed down and I tried to look always on the ground. I did not look here and there but was either praying the Rosary or repeating my lessons or meditating this sentence Hmors intrat per fenestras'y- 6 death enters in through the windows or eyesj, which the spiritual father often re- peated to us, VVhen I walk in Hiram I look on objects more beautiful and higher 143 than di1'ty ground and T am not afraid of the death which 'fintrat per fenestrasn- no death did yet enter through my windows. C2j The liberty l rejoice in Hiram. ln Rome we have no liberty at all. Vile have no liberty of self-controllingg We must be controlled by the superiors. They must know everything we do, speak, and think. A student can not enter in his fel- low students room. A student can not go alone in the city, a superior should go with him. :X student can not stay apart with another oneg he must be always with his division which is composed of ten students. During the recreation hour all the students are obliged to play togetherg if not, every one should tu1'n to his room and study. No student can receive a letter befo1'e it passes through the hand of the supe1'io1's. lf the letter is contrariant to the monkish spirit, it is burned immediately and denied to the student. At night one of the students' watchers comes and locks every student's room. Besides that we have no liberty of conscience. This is clear to every Protestant. lf a Cathslic had liberty of con- science to look beyond the boundaries of the dark traditions for the t1'uth, then the Catholic Roman Chu1'ch would be e1'ased. Wfe have no means to do so: evcfy paper and book we read is xvell scanned by the superiors. Wie have no mind- developing liberty-yes, we have some, but in all its characteristic is religious. Most of our studies are concerning these insoluble problems: how to find out that the Pope is vicar of Christ, head of the church, successor of Saint Peter and infal- lible: and how to find out that the Roman Church is the true one which Christ founded, and the other churches, specially the Protestant, a1'e false, and con- cerning' other Hdilemmata cornutaf' C33 The Christian dealing' and brotherhood. ln Rome there are but distinc- tions and degrees.

HE opening of the twentieth century marks the beginning of a new era for Hiram College. With pardonable pride she looks back over fifty years of victory and achievement. Not merely retrospective is her prideg it is also prospective, looking forward to still greater things with that enthusiasm of hope which is generated by a prosperous past. Hiram deserves to succeed because she has succeeded. Success, indeed, is her duty because it is the law of her life. The spirit that broods over and inspires her is prophetic of perpetual rejuvenescence, knowing neither the stagnation of self-sufficiency nor the retrogression of wasted power. The day has come in the history of education when the ideals of a college are of greater importance than her traditions. The moment a college wraps herself in her traditional robes and settles down to the conviction that it is her business to preserve rather than to improve, that moment she cuts herself off from the throbbing currents of life and stands before the world draped in sepulchral cerements. The honored names chiseled on her commemorative tablets, the musty vellum treasures that lade her shelves, and even the old ivy that spreads its verdant mantle over her walls and, with clinging tendrils, clambers. in its silken rustic loveliness, to the sum- mit of the antique tower where the old bell swings - these have their sentimental and historic interest, it is true: but they belong to the esoteric rather than to the exoteric side of college life g they keep burning the vestal tires of the inner circle of alma nzcifez' worshipers, but the great, surging, practical world moves on im- pervious to the spell. The keen light emanating from the twentieth century public intelligence is piercing as never before beyond our college walls, and unless many careful observers are mistaken, the time is big with reforms to be enacted throughout our entire educational system. Universities and colleges alike are before the judgment seat of a new age exacting in its requirements and merciless in its verdicts. VVhat will be the result? Many are the voices that predict the speedy extinction of the small college, but such prognosticators, dwelling in the large universities, are unable to eliminate from their prophecies the personal equation: nor do they remember that there is a healthful residuum of common sense among that portion of the public in which our educational institutions find their constituency. The truth is that the mere size of an institution is no decisive consideration in the mind of the sober, knowledge-seeking world. Bigness is not greatness. nor does it follow that the best educational results are inseparably bound up with a given number of acres of campus, several quarries of cut stone, and half a dozen pages of professoriate, more or less CllZl71'I'l'Z-, or on leave of absencef' The demand is for qualify rather than Ulldllflilbv. Mass and num- bers alone cannot in the long run outweigh proficiency and thoroughness. lt is safe to say that that college, be it large or small, will succeed and perpetuate itself, whose standards are commensurate with the needs of the times and whose 145 methods and equipments respond to the imperious call of the new century for readjustment and advance. To point out some guide lamps in the path of Hiranrs future progress is simply to indicate certain principles that appear to be vital and germane to the growth and perpetuity of colleges in general, QU Hiram must continue to avoid the shallows of superhciality. Life is real and earnest: its battles demand the trained intellect and the dexterous hand. In nine cases out of ten, it is the ill-prepared or the unprepared man who fails. Supplementing the work of the home and lower schools, the college is the final crucible of discipline destined to coordinate the students energies, balance his judgments, Widen his horizon, convert his abilities into availabilities,-in short, to recast him in a strong mold and send him forth equipped unto usefulness. There must be no crack in the crucible. Severe and thorough must be the discipline. How niinutely and laboriously careful is Nature in all her formative processes. The embryo, beginning as a single cell. develops slowly. but by unerring grada- tions, into the perfected form. Centuries of storm, sunshine and alluvial deposit are stored up in the rock, ln her constructive activities Nature never hurries with aught that is to endure. Hurry is 1112111-S disease, especially in the making of him- self. Even colleges tremble before the breaking surge of the sea of unrest. Amid the storm and stress of American life no temptation that besets the college is H101'C subtle than the temptation to offer a cheap, pleasant and short highway to learning and pronciency. Alas for the institution that yields to such a policy as disappointing as it is empty! And alas for the student who sooner or later will discover the illusion and injustice of academic honors too lightly acquired! In all future modifications of her curriculum let Hiram aim at increasing thorough- ness and strength. Q25 Hiram must continue to adjust her courses to the practical needs and personal adaptabilities of students' A good beginning has been made in the elective courses. The necessity for early specialization, occasioned by the sharp competition of the times, points to the desirability of increasing electives, with due care, of course, that specialization and disciplinary thoroughness go hand in hand. Such increase is desirable also on purelv psychological grounds. Why should colleges persist in stretching minds so differently constituted and so dif- ferently endowed on the Procrustean bed of one unvarying' curriculum F Or why should the plastic clay be treated as the unyielding marble? A college ought not to be a mere mill to grind away all individualities into one homogeneous pro- duct, but rather a garden in which each plant receives its especial care. Under the elective system, however, students should not bejleft to select haphazard any subjects that may happen to suit their convenience. The faculty should appoint a committee psychologically capable ot analysing each students needs, temperament and adaptability, and of directing his studies accordingly. Cgj Hiram should seek more than ever to create a love for learning. In 146 the professor himself pedagogy unattended by philoinathy is a poor furnishing, The power to awaken enthusiasm, to draw young minds to the quest of knowledge, to open young eyes to the beauty of the fair face of truth-this should be the coveted possession of every instructor. Only when he has this power does he prove that with all his understanding he has also acquired wis- dom. It may be necessary to tarry'l in the upper room. but the purpose and profit in the waiting are revealed when, breathed on by the spirit of truth, he communicates the sacred fire to other hearts. If we succeed in creating a love for learning, the learning itself is sure to follow, and fewer students will feel toward their studies as did Lord Byron when, leaving college, he wrote, poet though he Was: Then, farewell, Horace, whom T hated so. . But important as it is for the faculty and administrative board of a college to cherish high educational ideals, it is preeminently essential that lofty concep- tions of the purposes and duties of college life should glow in the minds of the students, if a college is to rise to higher levels of activity and power. The follow- ing student ideals may be suggestive: 1. ft ought to be set down by every student that the supreme purpose of a college education is the making of manhood and womanhood. Trumpet- tongued the new dawning century c.alls for true men and womeng men who see clearly, feel deeply and dare valiantly for the true, the beautiful and the good in all the relations of life: women with souls glowing as the roses in holy enthusiasm, and in purity white as the lilies by the water courses: men who by their unflinching integrity give the lie to the misanthropic maxim that every man has his price: women who keep fresh the altars of innocence and sweeten the fountains of the world. - Preparation for a profession or other walk in life is secondary, for it is of timeg character-building is paramount, for as Horace Greely said, it is the 'lone thing that enduresf' it is of eternity. Purblind the student who, while ambitious to be great, aspires not first after the greatness of goodness. True greatness has its foundation in true manhood. Vlfas not our own Garfield from his earliest days the very incarnation of this ideal? Wfhen asked what he in- tended to be, he replied, 'thirst of all l must make myself a man: if I do not suc- ceed in that l can succeed in nothing. Garfield's greatness was but the refiex of his goodness, and he early saw that goodness was but another name for man- hood. The pursuit of this ideal leads to the choir invisible of life's harmony. It brings peace and joy where mere learning fails. The knowing that leads not unto doing and being is vain. Charles Kingsley gave golden advice to his daughter in these words: T Be good,-Sweet maid. and let who will be clcverg U0 noble things, not dream them. all day longg .Xnd so make Life, Death and the Vast Forever One grand, sweet song. 147 VV'hat possibilities and responsibilities are wrapped up in the student days at Hiram College! Here our young men may learn Vo sit self-governed in the fiery prime Of youth. obedient at the feet of lawf and arising go forth to bless the world as witnesses to the dignity of manly charac- ter. Here our young women may begin to sing that grand sweet song of pure deeds, that sanctities life and death, and sounds unto the eternities. 2. The student should seek to cultivate his three-fold powers. M'e11s Jana in carport? sumo is not a complete definition of education because it recognizes only two sides of man's nature, the physical and the intellectual. Overarching these two is a third, the spiritual or religious side, the inner holy of holies, the seat of what the Germans call the God-consciousness. Wfe have minds and bodies but we are spirits. The student who strives for the symmetrical development of his tripartite being will make sober adjustment of the amount of time given to athletics. and that devoted to study and to religious exercises. He will escape the abnormal and deficient onesidedness which so often robs life of its balance. There are students who leave college with excellent muscles but atrophied cerebrumg others with their heads, like Faust's. crammed full, go out to find their valetudi- narian frames staggering under the load: with still others it transpires that while they have strengthened both brawn and brain, they have starved the soul, and are therefore little more than vigorous, intelligent animals. Hiram College offers ex- ceptional opportunities for the harmonious cultivation of body, mind and spirit. This ideal of full, rounded manhood is summed up in the words of an eminent scientist. That man, says he, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is ready servant of his will: whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic-engine,, ready alike to spin the gossamers and forge the anchors of the mindg whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and funda- mental truths of natureg one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a strong will, the servant of a tender conscienceg who has learned to love all beauty, 'whether of nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. 3. Finally, the student should accept it on the testimony of all the wise and great, that the only way to be happy in life is to be useful. ' Education means service. It is an entrusted talent not to be used for selfish ends. The altruistic motive drawing its inspiration from the love of God on the one hand and the love for man on the other, should be nurtured with patient care until it comes to be the touch-stone of conduct. The new century comes to us crying with a thousand needs. Happy shall we be if through these needs we hear the divine age-long call to service, and obey. CHARLES T.

DALLAS. W N jd g ' 1 .Q - . Qoncerning College matters. GLLEGE life is ailife of opportunity. In it students are very apt to dis- cover themselves and each other. Not long does a student attend college before he is known and read of his fellows and of the faculty. Better than this, he is soon read of himself. A young man has taught a common school during a winter or two and perhaps he has not. He has been regarded as a leader by others and by him- self, it may be. VVhen he comes to college he supposes things will be as they I52 were. He expects to take high rank immediately. He will be the center of at- traction as recently. All things will go his way, but somehow they donft. There are others. He undertakes to lead, to be at the front generally-and also to give his professors some lessons in teaching, At least it seems thus. A number of the students of the more reckless sort, and perhaps others, wink at each other. The impression spreads to the effect that the young man needs a lesson that he will not get from the faculty with the rapidity that the exigencies of the case demand. By one or other of the many ways discovered by college boys the young man receives attention about midnight, at the hands of thirty or forty young men, who together are stronger than he. They are discovered-that is, some of them are. c There is a faculty meeting. The wrong-doers make common cause. They all appear, determined to stand or fall together. They tell the same story. Each one confesses to have taken some humble part in the unfortunate transaction. The part that each has taken seems small. They show a thorough knowledge of what is called the division of labor. Wfhile individually no one has done any- thing very marked or striking, collectively they have treated their pupil very roughly, even placing him in serious danger. In defense they testify that the young man in question was making too much of himself and too little of others, and that it was the judgment of the collectivity that the attention given him would be beneficial. They do not justify the means used by itself, but Jesuit-like, make the end justify the means. The faculty proceed to read the young men a lecture touching the lawless- ness of their proceedings, their interference with personal freedom and the danger of serious accident. They see their wrong and confess it. They pledge them- selves to refrain from such conduct in the future. In a few weeks something, if possible more lawless and disturbing, takes place. It is discovered that the leaders in the former transaction are the leaders in the latter. W'hen confronted with their promise not to engage in such conduct in the future, they with one voice claim that they have not violated their pledge, since the action now complained of is quite different from the former offense. Fine distinction that! It is thought that the leaders must go. They take it pretty hard, one of them saying that he would rather go home in his coffin than be dismissed. Meat in due season is administered to each, and thev remain law-- abiding citizens until this day. i Wliile many college students frequently unite in deeds of daring and acts of lawlessness that cannot be borne with, yet on investigation it will generally be found that their conduct lacks the animus, the malice aforethought that calls for condign punishment. Acts that cannot be defended or justified can often be somewhat palliated. Hiram College Faculty aim to take in the entire situation and so to avoid extremes in dealing with offenses great and small. As a result serious discipline is rare in Hiram College. 153 HI! Evellillg RWQN2.

J J ffl YN iq' L M3 H Research in Biram Bacteria. IRAM, according to the college catalogue, is noted for its healthfulness. It would even lead us to believe that bacteria are a nonentity within its realm, for does it not say, Hiram's high altitude renders the air bracing and free from miasmatic inhuencesu? and yet anyone who has sojourned upon the Hill has surely felt the presence of the unseen influences which he must suspect are microbic in their origin. It was this feeling while a student that has since prompted me to begin a research in these subtle germs. Let me say at once that my most careful and un- tiring investigation utterly failed to discover the presence of disease germs upon the Old Hill. Q1 presume my microscope had not sufficient powerg I used the same the president did when he wrote the cataloguej But as we learned in our Bible Lectures that there are good angels as well as bad, so my research dis- covered that there are beneficent as well as disease-producing germs. Scientific inquiry has disclosed the fact that most of the sweetness, delicious flavor and aroma of those articles of diet which we prize most highly are the direct result of bacterial action. Even the exquisite aroma of our favorite brand of cigar is imparted to the tobacco by bacterial growth. QThis particular family of microbes was not, however, in good repute with the faculty during my college daysj The very sweetness of the rose may be due to a subtle army of bacteria. My research became a delightful romance of science when I discovered that these friendly germs were constantly yielding their infiuence to sweeten, make beauti- ful and happy the life on Hiram Hill. The following species were easily isolated and studied. The Diplococcus Perch Continualisf' This little germ like all diplococci seems to be made up of two parts, very much attracted to each other and always found together. There were many localities in and about Hiram that seemed favorable to its growthg such as Big Hollow, Udall's Sugar Camp, the Ceme- tery, the Spring, or in fact any convenient and sequestered spot where two minds might think as one, two hearts beat with but a single closure of the mitral valves, and Where a seat for perch as it is termed in technical languagej might be found, barely large enough for one and yet quite large enough for two. The mi- crobe seems more prevalent in the early autumn and spring months. Every one seems to enjoy its presence except the faculty and lady principal. It seems to thrive unabated despite many rules made to check its growth, and a favorite watchword with those afflicted is, Faint heart never won fair lady. A most 156 remarkable feature is that it always affects two persons in exactly the same way at the same time. A number of laws have been deduced from observations made upon persons so afflicted. Grombacher's Law best expresses the dominant symptom- Two bodies on the perch tend to remain upon the perch until acted upon bv some external force. Few recoveries are noted until a change of climate is madeg some never recover and lapse into the chronic stage. The Spirigillum of Class Spirit. This is a very active little germ of even wider dissemination than the last named. lt is not. however, so constantly pres- ent, but appears to come in epidemics of great severity, affecting two whole col- lege classes at the same time, and occasionally raising riot with the Preps Classes so aiected, while usually peaceable enough, on class day seem to be possessed of hallucinations and deliriums and madly rush at each other. Class hats are stolen, class colors snatched, class flags raised by one faction and if possible taken down by the other. Great deeds of heroism are sometimes per- formed while under the spell of its influence. A peculiar feature of this in- fection is that both classes, after the paroxysm is over, claim the victory and write it up in their respective class histories. The Streptococcus Midnight Escapadusf' As is characteristic of Strepto- cocci, this germ gives rise to very acute infections. The individual may be in a perfectly normal condition in the evening and by midnight become completely overwhelmed by its infection. The germ has never been known to attack a single student while alone in his room, but always slips in where there is an assemblage of students. Darkened windows and an outward appearance of study houru stillness within are necessary conditions for its entrance. And having entered, presto pass! note the change it produces. Books, professors, possible Hunk marks on the morrow, and honorable mention are all forgotten. Great projects such as the 'building of The Bowler. Teachout and Zollars R. R. are thought out with ex- ceeding rapid cerebration. Or perhaps it is decided that the skeleton in the de- partment of medicine needs diversion and a change of environment. In some instances it has been thought that thesleeping apartments of some fellow student, who had peacefully retired, needed fumigation, and its snoring occupant is treated to a liberal supply of the fumes that meander from burning woolen socks and cayenne pepper. The principal source of these infections in past years was 'fThe Bonney Castlef' Professors when tracing these germs have been known to re- turn from that locality somewhat perturbed in mind and pretty thoroughly satu- rated with H20 The faculty, all unaware of the real and final cause of these escapades. instead of applying proper antiseptics to the germs. bring those infected into the faculty clinic and there in voices suggestive of shaking palsy, and with severe palpitation of the popliteal spaces, they are made to confess their symptoms and receive the antidote. Finally there is The Bacillus of Hiram Good Fellowshipf, Of all bacteria in and about the college there is none more constantly present. none more mani- -r-' IM fest and none more genuine. You feel its presence hefore reaching the town when riding up on the hack, and once having been inoculated with the Hiram spirit, you never cease to feel its influence so long as you live. Even class dis- tinctions do not deter it from uniting all students in a bond of close fraternity. Faculty as well as students. feel its unifying influence. Hiram is fortunate in never having allowed fraternities to creep into its life. for there is no greater enerny to this bond of universal fellowship: Every I-liraniite feels when he meets a fellow student that he is greeting a friend, and this germ of friendship seems to grow stronger year by year. A Separation from our Alma Mater but serves to establish a firmer and truer reali- zation of her many merits and to give pleasure and joy in the thought that we may numher ourselves among Hirams sons and daughters.

HE Calcutta Bible Lectureship is an outgrowth of the Bible Chair work, begun by the Christian VVoman's Board of Missions nearly a decade ago, at the University of Michigan. Wfith a faith in the value of Bible teaching which was begotten of some years of successful work among the students of several of the leading secular universities of America, this enter- prise in India was launched. By lectures and class-room teaching it is intended to instruct the students of Calcutta in the history, literature, and religion of the Christian Scriptures. Be- lieving that intelligent young men can be induced to study the greatest book in the world with the same earnestness that they exercise in the pursuit of other branch-es of learning, it is -the purpose of this lectureship to afford them the opportunity. Such study is of great advantage to the college men of a Christian landi it is of unspeakable value to those of a non-Christian country. In the closing days of the dying century I reached Calcutta. A city of about one million inhabitants, the metropolis and capital of India, it is also the most ini- portant educational center of all the East. I-Iere are located some three-score high-schools, more than a score of colleg'es, and the University of Calcutta. The university alone, which like the University of London, is simply an examining and degree-conferring board, is said to examine more than ten thousand students every year. These students come from far and near: they will ill positions of in- fluence throughout Indiag they will shape the thought and life of the land for the next generation. Almost immediately upon reaching the city I began work. This was made possible by the fact that the students are all taught to understand and speak the English language. The opportunities for work, the accessibility of the' stu- dents, and their readiness to receive Bible teaching have more than fulfilled my highest expectations, I am now teaching and lecturing daily, with the exception of one day that I have been obliged to reserve for rest. My classes and lec- tures and addresses are attended by students varying from six to several hun- dred in number. At present my work is done in the College Young Men's Christian Associa- tion building, which is for the students of all the colleges of the city. Probably it will demand a building of its own at some time in the near future. The present is full of most encouraging activity: the future contains abundant promise. 159 It is but a question of a short time, and the ability of the Christian XNoman's Board of Missions to supply the money, when there must be several men here devoting their energies to a work that might well claim the attention of a score of teachers. India's need to-day is the light that shines from the pages of the Bible. The call of her young men to the more favored sons of Christian America is to come and dedicate their talents and culture to the task of leading their brother students to that Great Teacher from whom all the world must learn the highest wisdom. VV. M. FORREST. TV ci mv 'first Glimpse of Hiram. Inky blackness! Not a light! Drizzly rain! Hair all out of curl, mud over shoe-tops, slowly and solemnly I was hauled onto the Hill which I had been told was the vestibule of heaven. Suddenly a dull, flickering light from a little oil lamp came trembling out into the darkness, revealing the interior of a room where I saw a few heads, and in front of them a big form pointing with a ruler to a wall. I was informed that President E. Y. Zollars was giving a Bible lecture The light was left behindg once more total darkness enveloped us. 'I was told we were riding past the campus-didn't care whether they had any campus or notg I was hungry. VVe turned a corner and presently I was dumped out, led in somewhere and seated in a pitch-dark room which afterwards turned out to be a parlor. Vifas told the electric-light plant had given out-expressed surprise- hadnit noticed it. However, light, supper, and warm bed finally greeted me, and when the morning revealed the beauties of the place all bathed in sunshine I forgot the dreariness of the night before,-and lived happy ever afterward.

The commencement of 1900, the jubilee of Hiram College, was the most auspicious occasion ever celebrated on the Hill. It was the commemoration of the founding and growth of the institution, it was the culmination of a movement inaugurated to furnish the college an endowment that would be ample to pros- ecute the work required of such a school, the number of persons that graduated from all the courses of study was the largest that ever received diplomas at one time. The things that were accomplished were transformed dreams, the realiza- tion of an effort begun many years beforeg this effort, small at first, but increasing in activity, reached its height a few years ago when it became concerted among alumni, students, patrons and friends. In the possession of strong, courageous teachers and careful, prudent trustees Hiram has been fortunate. A weak faculty and an injudicious board would have been the means of wrecking the institution in its early years. No college has been more successful, for none has overcome more opposition or surmounted greater obstacles. As the Eclectic Institute it was sustained by the sturdy characters and splendid lives of its students and instructors. As a school of higher rank these same characteristics have been manifest, but its importance has increased and some of its best Work has been accomplished. The present administration has had to contend with many adverse circum- stances. There has ever been a dearth of equipment and funds, and to supply these was among the tasks laid upon it. The first work, however, after its initia- tion, was to make a wide canvass for students. In this it has been remarkably successful, as the enrollment has been above four hundred for several years. Not only has nearly every state been represented in the student body, but other countries on this continent and other continents now feel the intiuence of the Hiram life, carried thither by the young men and women that have returned tc their home land. V With the increase in the number of students came the need of a fund large enough to supply an income that would defray a considerable part of the annual expenses of the college. To have such a sum was necessaryg to devise means of procuring it was difhcultg to secure it was a hard task. To obtain an endow- ment from popular subscription was a new and untried plan, yet it was adopted. That its purpose was fulfilled was verified by announcement and by the action of the board of trustees. New lines of work are in process of construction, courses of study are to be lengthened and strengthened, new teachers have been secured. apparatus has been added to different departments, and the college begins its new half-century with its facilities improved and increased. The exercises of commencement week were attended by many friends of the college that had not visited Hiram before. The programs that had been distrib- uted announced so many well known names and interesting subjects and events that the response was hearty and gratifying. . The commencement of the Preparatory Department Saturday eveningg the baccalaureate sermon Sunday morningg the anniversary of the Young Men's 163 1 Christian Association and the Young Womenjs Christian Association Sunday evening: the commencements of the literary societies Monday eveningg and the entertainments of the literary societies Wednesday and Thursday evenings were features of the week that need only to be mentioned, for they are regular features of every commencement. The sessions that aroused greatest interest were those of the alumni, the commencement of the college and the quinquennial reunion. Of all the exercises -of the week the most interesting to the graduates and other old students were those of Alumni Day. Here it was that college days were lived over again and unforgotten friends returned, some in person, others IL L! --:V Ls..- SCENE FRQM TOVVER. in memory. Here was the time set for the rally of the alumni to the endowment of a chair in the college. Many more were present than usual. Hiram has an alumnal association of more than four hundred, and a large part of the member- ship attended. The opinion was unanimous that the chair should bear the name Of our lamented and recently deceased teacher, Arthur C. Pierson, '79, and that the department of which he was the head should be the one endowed. Accordingly, The Professor Arthur C. Pierson Memorial Chair of English became the alumni chair. The effort to create a fund of twenty-five thousand dollars for the endowment of the chair failed. Perhaps one-third of this amount was secured in pledges at this meeting. and the amount has since been increased to about twelve thousand dollars. ' On Commencement Day the final effort was made to enlarge the general endowment to the sum wanted, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The belief was general that it would not be realized. Pledge after pledge was announced, most of them small, and the sum grew- but slowly. The portion not i 164 yet secured was too large to be obtained in small subscriptions. Disappointment had already filled every heart. Endowment by popular subscription was consid- ered a failure, and Hiram was to struggle on, handicapped as before, with pro- ductive funds exceedingly limited. But no such fate was in store. The electric wires were busy, and the announcement was made that several large sums had been pledged by telegraph and the amount wanted had been reached. Enthusiasm knew no bounds and burst forth in demonstrations that were loud and joyful. President Zollars was lifted in his chair and carried to and fro on the platform, he was cheered again and again. Later when it was announced that Messrs. Abram Teachout and Lathrop Cooley would erect a structure to be used for the double purpose of a library building and astronomical observatory, and would present to the college a fine telescope, the audience again expressed its joy in noisy demonstration and the session closed with all the excitement that such events could arouse. Eclectic Day was of supreme interest to the older persons in attendance. The history of the school was recited, from its earliest days to the days of transition from an institute to a college. Professor B. A. Hinsdale, president of the Hiram Reunion Association, made the principal address, a history of the Eclectic Insti- tute. This was the last time he visited Hiram, and the last time most of his Hiram associates and friends saw him. He is gone, yet he lives, and Hiram College will never be without the influence of his life, strong in intellectual development and splendid in moral culture. Hiram now has the strongest financial basis it ever possessed, and its use- fulness is larger accordingly. It does not claim to be a university, yet it takes equal rank with all schools of its kind and maintains a standard that will bear comparison anywhere.

Got to pray so hard in de army ob de Lord, Got to pray so hard in de armeeg Got to cut and slay sin in de army ob de Lord, Got to cut and slay sin in de armeef' Every fibre of his body seemed to be a part of the music. His feet patted an accompaniment while his hands grinding the corn kept time to the weird, half- barbaric intonations of his melody. The officer leaned on the gate, listening. The scene appealed to him with a peculiar pathos. Up the big road could be seen the great house, the heart of the plantation, once so full.of joy and gaiety, throbbing with life and brimming with merry, laughing notes of light-hearted young people and children. It was the vanishing type of a perfect home, a home where peace and com- fort, happiness and contentment, were abidingg where good will and kindliness ruledg and from its center went forth a beneficent influence, touching every life upon the plantation. Sympathy and consideration from master to man, made the hours of toil less burdensome, and filled the cotton fields and cabin homes with the music of contentment. But all this was ended now, the place was desolate. The smiling, sunny Southern land of music and blossoms and beauty was sorely smitten. Gray hairs had bowed under the load, while young, strong shoulders had thrust upo-n them for the first time, serious and heavy burdens. The officer knew something of this, and was learning more. His own tent was pitched where flowers of wonderful beauty had been carefully cared for by loving hands. Fences were down, nelds were desolate. An unnatural stillness pervaded the place. The big house was silent, closed and barred. From investigation he had learned that the old mistress of the mansion lived there alone with her two daughters, protected in a time of most terrible danger by only a decrepit old negro, bent with age and feeble, but faithful as few of fairer color and nobler birth know how to be. - A musket shot recalled the officer from his reverie, just as the sun sank behind a bank of clouds. 168 VVell, old man, I'm sorry for you, he said, as he turned to go. Better take my advice and give up those horses. Say, will you tell for that F Going close to David he laid a shining piece of money in his hand. Nature's noblemen are found in unexpected places and not always in court attire. This one was feeble and ragged and black, but he lifted his head proudly as if it held a coronet: I ain' no traitor, he said, while his eyes flashed. My soul's white ef my skin is black. De Lord in Heaben nebber made a nigger black clean through, but peers to me he done put a heap o' tar inside some dese yere white skins. Mister, his form trembled, and his voice was pleading and tearful, don' yo know I couldn't. My ole Marster rised me up-tuk me into de house and taught me white manners, made me a gen'lman. I'se a quality nigger, an' when he tuk he sword and lef us, he led me to ole Miss' door whar dey was all in dar weepin', an' he says: 'Dave,' liftin' his hand so solemn like, 'promise me fo, God you will take care ob dese helpless women and pertect 'em with your life.' An' I jes drap on my knees any say: 'May de good Lord send de Debil and all his angels to fetch me to tormint ef I donl do it, Marster !' Yo' can't hab nothin! what b'longs to my ole Miss, 'taint no use tryin, to git it outen Uncle Dave. Goodnight, sirf' He bowed courteously to the officer ana: left him standing thereltoo amazed to speak. In kindliness of heart he had thought to save the old negro from worse troubli- by this means, never doubting it would prove effectual. Capt. Howard did all in his power to protect the three women during the enforced encampment of his company about their home. He called upon them and assured them of his determination to guard them against molestation. We are completely at your mercy, Capt. Howard, Mrs. Morris said. Already your army has taken from us all that we value in life. You can take our horses and kill our last faithful protector. It is of course even in your power to entirely destroy our homeg but remember we do not surrender it to you. However, I see you are a gentleman, and are bound by that title to protect gentlewomen of whatever clime or country. Though I am not sure of what your orders are in that particular. I cannot hope to fare better than hundreds of our Southern sisters. Madam, in every army you will hnd soldiers lacking in honor and chivalry. There are some such in my command, but you have Capt. Howard's word that as far as in his power, he will protect your home from depredations. Tell Uncle Dave his horses shall not be molested. Late that night a stealthy black figure crept through the fields, making a wide detour about the camp, and reaching safely the edge of a great impenetrable swamp. A white man would have found it impossible to follow the figure as it crept through the thick underbrush and tangled briers. By pathways seemingly impassable old Dave crept into the heart of the swamp. He knew it well. Wlith a peculiar instinct he seemed to know every turn of the dark, shapeless niassg he seemed to be in harmony with his surround- ings, to know the dismal sounds of the inhabitants. His own imitation of birds 169 and animals was so perfect that they apparently accepted him as some Wild crea- ture like themselves. Silently he crept to his secret hiding place. A low call was followed by 2. joyous neigh, and another moment brought him into a small clearing where two splendid black horses were securely fastened. Such is ,strong evidence of love and devotion. Danger of detection, the almost overwhelming negro superstitious fear, the perils of the swamp-all were overcome in his great love for and effort to save his master's family horses. He undid their fastenings and patted their grate- ful faces. Ole Dave done come fer to fetch ye home, now jes be still an' quit yo' talkin' while 1 tell ye de news, Juliet. Yo' kin come back, T done got yo' furlo, and he chuckled to himself. Spec Capt. Howard done laid his eye on Miss Mary and kind a got sof'ened up a bit. Dar now, Romeo, quit eatin' my ear and come 'long. We got to cut an git. Screech owl done tell me to mek haste an' git outen dis, cause hoodoos havin' a meetin' an' dey comin' dis way. At the door of the stable he paused, hearing voices. A rollicking band of men were returning to camp from a foraging expedition. Quickly.David led the horses Within and returning barred the door, then dropping on his knees he began to dig vigorously in the ground. He knew he had been seen and that notwithstanding the Captain's orders his horses were in danger. The men surrounded him while he dug on furiously. Say, old man, get upg what are you doing? called one, roughly, supplementing his question with a kick. . Ies' diggin' fer charms, Uncle David answered. Well, get up here and charm open this door, we want those horses. Aint no hosses 'bout here. You done got de wrong place dis time, sir- hosses-gee-we aint seen no hoss flesh sence befo' de war, he said, with a grin. Some were for going on without bothering the old man, but the rough voice that had first spoken urged them on. 'Tll have 'em or be hangedf, he said, and it did not take long to overpower the negro and secure the prize. They were of that class of men who joined either South or North, as the tide of war changed, without patriotism, home, or country. They were merely hangers- on for booty-feared, not as honorable foes, but as dishonorable spoilers. They now started madly for the house, intoxicated and recklessly led on by abject wickedness and love of plunder. David knew what it meant. The women would be powerless-no appeal could he made where no manhood was left. He started toward the front of the house while they battered at the rear. Springing through a window he ran quickly for an old musket hidden away, and 'stationed himself at the head of the stairs, his eyes blazing like a tigeris at bay. A bedroom door opened and a young girl came out, She was tall and grace- ful, with a sweet mouth firmly set, and dark gentle eyes that flashed now with excitement and anxiety. She carried an old revolver and came rapidly to where David crouched, laying a hand on his arm. She was his ally and he hers, together 170 they had more than once defended her mother and invalid sister, for she had the proud heart and steady hand of a Southern woman, and that indomitable will and courage that carried so many through that terrible conflict. Lord hab mercy, Miss Mary, is dat you? Dey is got us dis time, sho', but we ain gwine let lem git to ole Miss' thout some trouble. les you stan' behin' me. Ole Dave ain' gwine let you git hurt lessen he git kilt he self. The rough band came on up the stairs and the trusty old' musket clicked warningly. The girl's face whitened, but she raised the pistol steadily and de- manded a halt. Witli a laugh they pushed forward, falling over each other, in reckless disregard. Old Dave and his young lieutenant stood their ground firmly, but their efforts were feeble, and just as Capt. Howard, with a picked company, rushed to their relief, one, more craven-hearted than all, emptied his gun into the faithful body of the old slave. He fell at the feet of his young Mistress, just as the Capt. reached the landing. You come too late, Capt. Howard. Your men, you see, have done your work and done it wellf, The young voice was full of scorn and suffering. They have killed a nobler man than any in your company. She bent down over the old man, all her strength failing. Indeed, Madam, believe me, I am truly sorry for this. ' Your apologies are worthless, sir, and will never be accepted. You value life lightly if you think a smoothly-worded apology will compensate for the death of this good old man. He was all that was left us. You might have spared the old slavef' But, Madam, you must- But, sir, I will not listen--here over his dead body your words are an insult. The Captain's face hushed. ln her grief she was unjust, blaming him for that which he had been powerless to prevent. You shall some day grant me the right to be heard, and the opportunity to clear myself of implication in this affair. She swept past him to her room. Only when you have returned him to us in life will T hear youf' she said, as she closed the door. The Captain felt for the old man's heart-ordering the body removed to his own tent, he stationed a guard about the house and followed. Only when you have returned him alive, she had said. W'ell, he would see. Another autumn day was closing into night, as a weary old man, leaning heavily on the arm of a blue-coated soldier, walked slowly up the hill toward the big house. VVhen they reached the door the officer paused. Cro in, Uncle Dave. and find Miss Mary and tell her this-mind, these very words-'fCapt. Howard sends his apology, and is waiting on the porch. And Captain Howard waited not in vain. 1 MRS.

It is said that nowhere in the world is there such a variety of boats as in Boston Harbor. Great European steamboats start puffing from the docks, their passengers waving last farewells to friends on shore. Little tugs, each towing two or three great barges, move steadily along, setting the buoy bells ringing their mournful knell. Gaily-colored yachts with pleasure-seeking people on board appear in marked contrast to the somber scows. Here and there little row-boats enliven the scene, small steam-launches ply in and out among the islands, and the ferry-boat hurries along with its freight. Everywhere are seen fishing-smacks ready to depart for the cod-hshing grounds. At Winthrop' Wliarf on a hot Iune afternoon, when not a zephyr could be stirring, we waited two hours after sailing time for our coast-steamer to be laden. Since she was a merchantman carrying much freight and not more than one hundred and fifty passengers, she seldom sailed on scheduled time in busy seasons. When the ship finally weighed anchor we rushed to the stern to take a long parting look at the city which had become so much like home to us. Notwithstanding the fact that the beautiful vision gradually grew dimmer, the gilded dome of the state house on Boston's highest hill. glistened for two hours in the afternoon sun before it faded from view. High above the steeple of old Boston towered the shaft of Bunker Hill Monument. The blue hills of Milton, the highest on the Atlantic coast south of Maine, were still to be seen when the city had vanished. Now on our right appeared the Miles Standish Monument erected at his old home in Duxburyg further along, the far-famed Minot Light-house. As we neared Cape Cod, the dread of all mariners, we could see the long, low line of Plymouth farther inland-little wonder that the Pilgrim Fathers had thought it such a safe harbor after their stormy voyage. The sunset, as we rounded the cape, was one of the grandest I have ever seen. The sky at the zenith was filled with Heecy masses of golden and crimson clouds, while before the sun the line of gray clouds was so inter- mingled with the gray of the sea it seemed as if we might sail at once straight into Jerusalem the Golden. The cape which took us two hours to round, assumed a gloomier and more forbidding aspect under the soft coloring of the sunset, and we were glad to lose sight of it in the dusk as we gradually passed to the other side out into the broad Atlantic. In the morning there was a stiff breeze blowing and a cloudless sky. No land came into sight for more than a day, but with reading, lazily dozing in the sun on deck, or watching the steamer plough its course through the waves, we passed a restful Sabbath day. The next morning we reached Norfolk, and watched the negroes, singing lustily at their work, unload the cargog and then steamed lazily across the bay to Newport News where the vessel was to remain for the day. 174 5gf QZ44 , Q ff 7 K' - 9 0 0 , ll Q lk f I f W A ! x - fhgx X I .II 'Q . ju, ,71A4 fgfj ziggy ff 1 X W MY?

OVV it came to pass that when the day of I-Iallowe'en was fully accomplished, and there was an end made of the frequent comings together of the rulers of the tribe of Eli, that he called unto his sons and said: Gather your- selves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Eli, and hearken unto me your father, for the wrath of the rulers and the time of desolation has come upon you. I-Ierm, thou art my first-born, and I had hoped my might, the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. Thy voice is sweeter far than the voice of angels when they sing with their golden harps. Thou hast been many times in my presence when I sat in council with the elders. Behold, now, have I not clothed thee about with a sheepskin? Wfhy dost thou linger in our midst? VVithdraw thy foot from the threshold of my home, that my gray hairs may go down in peace. i'VVhitelaw and Eugene are brethren. Instruments of wickedness are in their habitations. G my soul! Come not ye into the secret of my presence, nor stir up mine anger by your wizard smiles. Behold in your zeal ye have ducked a man, and in your rash moments ye have done that which is unseemly. Ye shall continue to dwell in my home for a season, but from the fruits of your labors shall be deducted three' credits each of a major kind. May your presence soon depart from our midst. . VVorkman, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise, for thou art found in the assembly of the Y. M. C. A., and art known for thy most meritorious ren- dition of thy most excellent deliberations upon the meandering progression of the anthropological family. Thou shalt lose but two credits, for behold there was not room for both thy feet in the abode of the fair ones. Nick, thou hast been my friend and helper in times of trouble. I-Iast thou indeed lifted up thy heel against me? O my soul! Although thou shalt lose three credits, yet shalt thou continue to dwell within the borders of my land: verily, thou shalt become the ruler of those that sport with ball and bat upon my fields. Slim, thou art an ass crouching beneath a burden. Thou didst see that rest is good, and I-Iiram that it is pleasant 1 and behold thou hast entered in. Thou hast neither good looks nor credits, therefore thou shalt lose none. Freddie shall be a lion among the athletesg a king upon the field. Thou shalt lose three credits, which have been granted thee by the ruler Vlfakefield. Paul, behold thou art not like thy brother of white face and gloved hands who visiteth the abode of the fair ones. Behold, he goeth by day and often, but thou hast gone by night, and but once. Because of his gentleness, thou shalt lose but one credit. 176 'LDeacon, thou hadst not yet learned the ways of my kingdom, else thou hadst not broken my commandment, for thou art a good youth, and comely to look upon. Thou shalt mourn the death of three credits. Zenas is a hind let looseg he giveth goodly words, but his deeds are far from me. Long have I waited for thy salvation, Q my soul! Thou shalt lose two credits. . Hfakie is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough in a basket-ball game. Be- hold he is swift as a gazelle, yet gentle as a dove in the presence of my daughters. Thou art their help and comfort in distress. Although thou shalt lose two credits, yet the blessing of many shall be upon thy head, the blessing of Bowler, the blessing of Geroulcl, yea, verily, the blessing of Miller. Frank shall be a VVOIfe, devouring and seeking to devour. Thou hadst three credits on the hooks in the morning, and verily, to-night they are gone. All these are the sons of Eli, and this it is that their father spake unto them, every one according to his deeds he blessed them. And he dispersed them, and commanded them to make these things known unto all generations. fin A X fa, T1 'aw' -f 5 I -W Ti-Qf t -' ' I 7 'i f7', 1 'f , 4 1 !

He pictured vividly the Usnares and pitfalls which would await him there and strove to advise him as to the proper method of dealing with them. Above all, he cautioned the lad to enroll immediately upon entering the great city of Chicago, to be prepared for recitations on the second day, and whatever might happen, not to become home- sick. The President's reply was in every way worthy of a college president who has the welfare of the students at heart, and who seeks-hardships in order that he may better serve them. 186 memories of the 0ld Davs. Cin the thought that students of the old days would be glad to hear some voices from the t the S ider Web staff sent out a list of questions to a number of the Alumni.

EVERAL famous rides have been made that are now known throughout the world, such as john Gilpin's Ride, The Ride from Ghent to Aix, and Sheridan's Ride to XNinchester, yet none of these cling so tenaciously to the mind of the average Hiram student as some of Prof. Peckham's fre- quent rides in the classroom. The event is exciting from start to finish. lt mat- ters not whether the gallant charger be swift or slow, the Prof. can mount with equal alacrity. Applying rod and spur and urging with ejaculations in three dif- ferent languages, triumphantly he passes from Dau to Beersheba. The journey complete, the wearied steed sinks into a condition of apathy, nervously awaiting a recurrence of the event. The following are a few items of interest picked up by Prof. Peckham during some of his rides when he made fastest time: Bancroft- Professor, do you believe that the devil is a person P Prof. P.- l don't believe it, I know it. B.- Well, where does he live ?', Prof. P.- He lives inthis room some of the time.

Miss Hoffman- Professor, what Greek can I get for next term? I want to have a tragedy before I leave schoolfl Prof.- It takes two years hard perching in Hiram before you can get married. Brown- I worked hard at that for a long time, Professor. Martin- Say, Professor, there are just lots more things I know about that. Prof.- A man should never tell all he knows.

By gemeny gees wax, but it was fun. VVas anybody hurt? Well, not exactly. Some of the fellers was pretty well done up. You remember that fellow Brownlee? Donlt remember him? Why, yes you dog he used to go to special faculty meetings so much, had so much business with Prexy out of school hours. Yes, you remember him. Well, he got hurt some way and fainted and they had to carry him home on a step-ladder. Doc Page gave him a bread pill and left hii.s a package of smoking tobacco. He improved rapidly and soon began bothering the Davis house again. How did it start? Well, now l'll tell you. You see a Preshie doesn't know anything and a Soph is just a little worse off, And when you see two such char- acters come together you must look for a mix-up. And, law, they had it-mud, hair, blood, toe-nails, old shoes, false teeth, collars and cuffs, cheap jewelry, everything but money. Now last fall the Preshies had a banquet, and they had served walnuts and buttermilk, but the doughnuts and corn bread had been left at johns So the Sophs went and swiped them, and of course that started the muss. Things run along for almost a term, but finally the Sophs put an old red and white table- cloth up on that big Hagstaff on top of the Qld Building. FN V has -r N s 1 it X af if l!V6ll. that very night Pr,exy's private secretary gave his key to one of his friends and allowed him to sleep in the office. Early in the morning he discov- ered the Hag and reported it to Saint Peter as he was conducting him down the front steps. The news spread to the whole Freshman class, so that by the time the first class-bell rang plans were made to capture the old rag. After good Saint Peter fthe one that ruleth heaven and earth and sweepeth the Y. M. C. 197 A. building and turneth on and off the lights thereofj had loosed the ass from the faculty office there began to be a running-together of the class of 'o4. 7 New : w, ll X7 fe' . -fi ff l i - A Mlm I ,,4'3J,,h,,v1 X glisyfv- , -ll X Now, there was rooming at the Smith House a certain member of the caste of coon-mongers who followed in the steps of the mighty Nimrod. He could shoot the pith out of a hair at loo yards, and the seeds out of an apple at 2oo. He was hurried to the scene and, armed with a young cannon, began Firing upon the flag. The third shot brought her, and then the fearful howl that arose reached the ears of the mighty Ely Vaughan as he stood upon his threshing-floor that lieth upon the borders of Big Hollow. Fearing that some trouble was brewing he called to him his servant Joshua, with his chariot, and ordered him to drive like Jehu. He arrived just about the time the Hag reached the roof, and after consulting Urim and Thummim, up the gravel walk he strode. Like the mighty Hiawatha, At each stride a mile he measured. His countenance wore an anxious look. Facing the howling youngsters he quoth, ln the name of good Saint Peter, Mark Hanna and a few other dignitaries, I command you lobsters to disintegrate, and take your faces hence and put them in your rooms. Untie your steeds and take a jaunt. Behold, it is already the uinth'hour, and you have not so much 4 QQ, , fy?-l . ' ix' Ill, MN' 1.

Then he turned to the Howlyi' inhabitants of the tower and looking into the open countenances of some half dozen Sophs, says he, The law of this faculty that never changeth hath been busted, and T'll give you just three hours and a half to fight this out, while l go to Garrettsville and have one of my lectures on the Tower of Babel published. O, my soul! why disperse ye not? Behold, ye do cause the place of my habitation to swim in tears. I perceive that this is more or less of a class scrap, therefore this Hag shall be delivered into my hand, and thus shall the howling mob be dispersed. Did he get it? VVell, not so you could notice it! While Prexy was per- forming in the main circus in front, there was a little side-showw in the rear. You remember jake Taylor, that fellow that caressed Prof. jones at the Reserve game. Yes, well, and Howard M. Rice from Buffalo, yes, Buffalo, N. Y., that little village near the Falls where they are going to have the Pan Am. They and two Freshies, Harmon and Regal, climbed up the fire escape and before anybody knew it were on the roof and threw the flagidown. Then the show began in earnest. 3,ooo Freshmen and 2,5oo Sophs, a few Seniors and Juniors laid hold of it. Down they went across the campus, rooting 'up trees, through mud up to their ears-ditches filled with Sophs for their brethren to cross on. VVas Billy Z. Ballard in it? He certainly was. He got several scalps and did great credit to his tribe. Was there any slugging? Wfell, if you'd seen Vincent's nose a week-.later you'd not ask. He and Spurrier came, and saw, and parted, then Eddie saw alone-stars and stripes. What did the faculty do? Vlfell, they met a day or so later, just to kind of keep up appearances. But they had a set-toy' in trying to decide which class came out ahead. By international agreement it was decided that it was a pretty fair scrap and that they had upheld the reputation of the college fairly well. However, Wakefield and Peckham were inclined to think their classes had been better scrap- pers, while Rulon seemed to think they scrapped better than '99, yet for chronic kickers and general cussedness he thought his class excelled. Prexy said if they kept on he thought they would be suitable victiins for grad- uation in about eight years. iii jg - X ,Q-XXX ir .Q-if , Tv 1 1 44- if f,m?Vwa5i,':fr N f- , 532,271 ya 471 -pfllj-.

The eruption of Vesuvius, as told in The Last Days of Pompeii, caused to burst fortn the pent-up feelings of many a ten- der heart. Both the Charleston earthquake and the great Chicago fire, as narrated in The Earth Trembledu and in 'lBarriers Burned Away, brought together those who had long kept secret their love for each other. Gn April 20 Hiram was visited by a great snow storm. During Friday night and all day Saturday the snow fell thick and fast. But added to this there was a most frightful Wind, which seemed to drive the snow in every direction. Drifts ten and fifteen feet high were to be seen on every street. School stopped, some- thing vvhich the weather had never caused before. . Neither mail nor passenger hacks could get to the station. I-Tiram's student preachers could not fill their appointments on Sunday. Not even the milk wagons made their accustomed visits. Although Hiram's snow storm did not do for the inhabitants of this little village what other great catastrophes have done for the people living in those vicinities, yet it did show the character, the disposition, the affection of several of our residents. ' Alice Vlfitrner ventured to go to her breakfast at the Dodd Club, and those who were passing that Way saw her hop upon a huge drift in front of Vine Cottage and jump from there to the boarding house. Some of the members of the 201 Dodd Club could not go to their meals, but Eddie Vincent kept them supplied with oranges and sassafras tea. Miss Dew, braver than some men on the fac- ulty, went to the college building to hear her classes, but was carried back to Bowler by her brother and another gallant youth. But Miss Fisher was not in such gallant hands. Fred Scott and Percy Davis carried her into a drift and left her to walk out. Rodefer went to Garrettsville to bring over a lady friend. On their way up to Hiram they came to an impassable drift. Ted sent this rig back to Garrettsville, managed to get around the drift on foot, hired a rig on this side, and brought her safely here. The Smith Club would not allow the occasion to go by without seeing A. L. Martin snowed under. And so for once in his life Martin took a cold bath. Prof. Paul became a child once more. He played in the snow all day, making snow men, rolling up huge snow balls, getting his feet Wet, and doing all the other things that a Canadian boy of six or seven years is Wont to do in winter. Prof. Peckham was not seen taking his accustomed Walks. Alone he could have struggled through the drifts, but his dogs could not, so they all stayed in doors. H. F. Smith, U. G. Miller, C. E. Benlehr, and Mr. Fortune showed their sterling qualities by digging a coal wagon out of a huge drift in order that we might have coal with which to make a fire in church- on Sunday. I. O. Newcomb had set his heart on going to XfVarren, but could get no conveyance. But undismayed this gallant knight braved the rigors of the storm and walked to the station. Eddie Vincent got into a tight place and was com- pelled to perch for three hours in succession. It nearly killed the poor boy. Weaver had promised Miss VVright a sleigh ride whenever there should be a snow. But Mr. Vlfoodward would let no teams out. This did not suppress Weaver. He borrowed a conveyance from one of the small boys in town and pulled her to Garrettsville and back on a hand sled. i - l 203 Carpe diern . mottoes Oil Chill' 20615-0f:Hl'mS. Dornine dirige nos .

VIEXVS TAKEN FOR THIS DEPARTNIENT l5iSI0l'V. A little more than 5o years ago Hiram became the seat of learning on the Westerii Reserve. The Eclectic lnstitute was established for the higher educa- tion of young men. E'er many years had elapsed it became evident that men could not live by cramming alone, and soon after members of the gentler sex, timid, scarce, at first, were permitted to seek a higher mental development side by side with their fellow sufferers. Then began a new epoch in the history of the school. Many modern improvements were made and progressive steps taken. Perhaps the most noteworthy advancement yet made is the addition of the Department of Perchology. ' The aim of the department is to afford to students the means of finishing a complete course in a shorter time than such work could be acquired in any other school on the globe. Wfe endeavor to secure positions for our students in good standing. So far we have had more olifers for students than students to fill them. SIIICIQIIIS. 1-IARMON. .. ,.,......

XVHAT THREADS THE FATAL SISTERS SPUINJ' 209 Rejected flrticles. fThe following articles designed for publication have been received by the Annual Board For the reasons given it has been thought best not to publish them.-Editor.l The Science of Log Rolling. By Vernon Stauffer. For many reasons we wanted to publish this articleg but a desire to keep future students of Hiram from following in the foot-prints of this most illustrious Senior and so placing their names on the roll of fame prevented us from giving it to the world. The invigorating Effects of a Cold Bath. ,By H. R. Clark. . The author derived the opinions set forth in this article from a single expe- rience. Now this particular bath was not designed to heighten the spirits of Mr. Clark, but to tone them down. But the remedy did not have the desired effect. Mr. Clark was as obstreperous as ever. The prescription must. have been wrong. And so we dared not publish this article, lest it reflect upon the ability of our most eminent physician who prescribed the remedy. How to Run a Rooming House. By E. C. Davis. If the principles set forth in this article should be adopted by all who keep roomers, no student would ever change his place of abode. He would want to live with his landlord always. In fact, he would not leave him, even for home ties. Hiram would be populated with its alumni, and every time one of them would come to chapel he would be asked to make a speechy The reasons for refusing to publish this article are obvious. ' Seventeen Miles on the Edge of a Board-A Book of Travels. By. C. R. Sine. This is a very interesting article. The author tells of thrilling adventures in a most graphic style. He seems to have gotten away from the dignified presence in which he has been accustomed to be found, and to have had an exciting time with new acquaintances. A dread that we might cause domestic trouble keeps this article out of the Annual. . How to Disperse Mobs. By E. V. Zollars. ' This contribution to the science of government deserves a place by the side of that of Adam Smith and of john Stuart Mill. If the plan it promulgates should be adopted, there would be no more mobs. But the Annual Board does not concur in the political opinions set forth by the author. A majority of them believe in the union of the populace to secure their just rights, and knowing that if the article were made public. governments would adopt it and so put an end to labor unions and strikes, we have refused to publish it. 210 Breaking up Receptions. By Marcia Henry. From a literary standpoint this article possessed much meritg but a certain fear lest future Lady Prins might adopt the gracious methods pursued by the authoress, prevented us from publishing the article. A Pilgrimage to Charlestown-A Romance. By R. B. Chapman. ' The hero of this story makes a long and perilous journey through the deep mud to the shrine of St. Helen. No one who reads this story can for a moment believe that the days of chivalry are gone. The work certainly has great merit, and deserves a place in the nation's literature, but we had fears lest the thrilling experiences of this knight-errant might cause the American youth to become dissatisfied with the ordinary pursuits of this unpoetic age.

ONG time ago in Hiram town on a certain Saturday night during the i white season there was a joint association meeting in the auditorium. Some people went, while others did not. Among the latter were four dignified persons: two whose singitive abilities have led them safely through many a scrape, and two experienced graduates who have lived upon nerve long enough to assure them an everlasting evasion of the faculty. But why should these two graduates and two soon to be have freedom on this particular evening? They must practice. So gaining access to the college building before the keys and St. Peter approach the great doors, they amuse themselves with sweet strains until they resolve upon saving their voices for the gratification of a Garrettsville audience the following evening, and so depart for home CU, rest C ?j and sleep CU. Now it so happened that on this crisp, frosty night, most of the inhabitants of Hiram were making use of the well-packed snow, and North Hill was teeming with coasters. About the ten o'clock limit, a crowd of youths and maidens taking their fare- well ride noticed in the distance a mere speck far beyond the limit of the coast line. Gradually it grew and seemed to approach. All, apparently busily bent on mending machinery, peered eagerly into the darkness. Nearer it came and nearer, and in the stillness and hush there seemed to be heard faint sounds as of human voices. Soon the mystic speck took on human form and there appeared the quartette of musicians, but with voices strangely subdued. The Professor fxwhich, though strange it may seem, one of them proved to bel made bold to offer very satisfactory explanation, relating a woeful tale of sad misfortune, how that returning from a funeral. their carriage had given way, the terrihed horses had severed connection with the ruins, unceremoniously leav- ing themibehind, and these poor frightened miserables CFU must needs wend their weary homeward way, guided only by meddlesome boys and fun-loving girls. I On arriving at the Hall the young ladies were very cordially met by Madam Churchill, who questioned them if they had been coasting. To the rather pointed inquiry, general spokesman for all Hiram answered in manner most win- ning, accompanied with smiles and natural redness of cheeks, Yes, we went down once, Seeming to have satisfied the lady's curiosity, the girls, inwardly giggling, hurried away to their rooms-the one to decide offertory and voluntary for the morrow, the other to take the grippe. The gentleman of the auburn locks was already planning his next evangelistic appointment, and the Professor slept the sleep of the just, never to awaken until the bells of the morrow sum- moned him to Prexy's Sunday School class. 214 the new member of mos. The initiation took place on the morning of March 12. He had staid up late the night before, mastering Bible lectures in President's office, and digesting the contents of the dictionary. No farther proof of ability and scholarship was needed. The Sophomore girls seized the First opportunity and adorned him with the token of membership, their class colors.

HE friends of Hiram were very agreeably surprised during Jubilee week of last year. For several years the college had been in need of a library room, and of a telescope, but no one knew that they were so near at hand until Mr. Abram Teachout, long a member of the Board of Trustees, and on many occasions a benefactor of the college, announced at the late jubilee that he and Rev. Lathrop Cooley, also a staunch friend of the college, we-'re going to erect a new building for the library and the telescope. Every one was jubilant. Prof. Bancroft was hilarious. Some go so far as to say that, like King David of old, he showed his joy by dancing before the multitude. The building, a cut of which will be seen in connection herewith, is situated on the northwest corner of the campus. It is about eighty feet long and thirty feet wide. The first floor will be used almost entirely for the library. The dome for the telescope is eighteen feet in diameter and about forty feet high, ris- ing far enough above the tree-tops to give an unobstructed view of the sky. The telescope was made by Vlfarner and Swasey of Cleveland, makers of the Yerkes and Lick telescopes. Tt is larger than was at nrst expected. The original intention was to have a lens of only six inches. .-Xs it is, we have a lens with a nine-inch clear aperture. This telescope compares very favorably with the best ones in the state. The little square room on the west of the building is to be used for a transit instrument. And now to you, Mr. Cooley, and to you, Mr. Teachout, we desire to extend our 'sincerest thanks for this farther testimonial of your interest in Hiram. This building and its equipment will long remain as a monument to your gen- erosityg but in the grateful hearts of the young men and women who go out from Hiram will be found a nobler and more enduring monument. 219 U72 'img 'f0ll1'. Across the broad state of Ohio The Big Four road extendsg Upon its accommodations ' The Welfare of millions depends. At the rate of a mile a minute Its laboring engines go With their load of precious freightage As they hurry to and fro. Hundreds and thousands of workmen Are employed night and dayg Notifor the love of their labor, But only for sordid pay. Engineers and firemen And trainmen, all galore, Are engaged in the occupation Of running this Big Four. Around the Hiram campus Another Big Four startsg Its crew consists of only four, Its passengers are hearts. The rate-of speed is very slow, About a mile a dayg The hands work for the love of it, They do not care for pay. The station house is Miller, They often run in late. - After breakfast, dinner, supper, They wait and wait and wait. 220 They do not run on schedule time, But any time they choose, And every time they come in late, They make up what they lose. The engineer and lirernan Are never seen apart, They fire with Love's consuming Harrie And guide with Cupid's dart.
