Death is always eventful, but it is especially so when it takes from us a dear and noble friend. Then the heart cries out in its loneliness, like Tennyson, for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of the voice that is still. This poet's sweet song has had a deeper meaning to the Class of IQO2, since last August, when our friend and foster-father, Prof. Hugh McDiarmid, arose to tread the way of death. To many of us it was a call unforeseen and sudden, and we did not fully understand its import until at the turning of the leaves we came again to frequent the paths and halls of the Old Hill. Gone were his kindly greetings and kindlier face. Missed were his words of friendship and fatherly counsel. But ever in our hearts we cherished his helpful messages and hold in blessed memory the Christly heritage of his noble life. We honored him for his great intellectual resources, his breadth and reach of thought, his great faith and his wonderful courage, but we loved him for his rugged honesty, his guiltless life, and the genuine kindliness of his heart. To the classg his adopted sons and daughters, as to all men, he was a true friend. His friendship grew upon us. It was bright like the sunbeam and inspir- ing like a brave leader. Like other men he had days when the rough paths of the world wounded his feet and toil tried his spirit, but of that we saw nothing. To us he was ever cheerful and helpful. Having been tempered with fire he knew how to help those who were passing through the fires of doubt and temptation. The very no-bility of his blameless life roused the latent nobleness in every sincere soul that experienced his friendship. Fellowship with him meant wider visions of life and loftier purposes in life. By his uniform kindliness and the royal hos- pitality of his home he wrought the golden chain of friendship that bound all our hearts into a happy helpful fellowship. The inHuence he has spread over our lives will linger long, just as the radiance of the sun lingers at eventide after it has passed below the horizon. But as the sun, during its course, has imparted life and put in operation forces that will never cease, so this noble, manly life has set in motion influences that will ever continue to affect the life and thought of those who have known him as a Christian, a scholar and their well-beloved Class Professor. ' THE CLASS OF 1902. I4 james Garfield Benrv. AMES GARFTELD HENRY was born in Cleveland, Ohio, November Io, 188o. He belonged to one of the best known families in the Hiram fel- lowship. The Hiram spirit dwelt in his parents and grandparents before him. His grandfather on his mother's side, Frederick Vlfilliams, was a member of the first Board of Trustees, and one of the incorporators of the insti- tution. His father, Capt. C. E. Henry, was a student of the Eclectic Institute, as was also his mother, Sophia Williarns Henry. james himself was the last of a family of four children to graduate from Hiram College. Both his father and brother, Frederick A., are members of the present Board of Trustees, the former having served in that capacity for many years. His sister, Marcia, is the present Lady Principal and Assistant Professor of Greek and Latin. . James entered Hiram in 1894, and at the early age of nineteen was graduated with the Class of IQOO. Witli one exception he was the youngest graduate in the history of the College. After his graduation he entered the Law Department of Western Reserve University to prepare himself for his chosen profession. During the vacation following his first year's work in that institution he was taken ill with typhoid fever and died at his father's home near Geauga Lake, August 18, 1901. His death was so sudden and unexpected that it came like a shock to all his acquaintances. The funeral service was conducted by Prof. E. B. Wake- field, and was largely attended by his college friends and former teachers, ac- quaintances of the family and neighbors. ' Throughout his college career james took an active and prominent part in the student life of the college. His genial disposition and affable manners gained for him a large circle of admiring friends from the very beginning. His ready wit and good cheer made his company sought in every social gathering. In fact, a fullness of life, that manifested itself in great activity of mind and body, in a youthful gaiety and enthusiasm, in a hopeful and joyous outlook upon life, was one of the marked traits of his character. It is to such -a nature that religion al- ways makes a strong appeal. It was but natural, then, that, in the course of time, James should respond to the Christian influence of his home and college. This he did, in a revival meeting held soon after he entered college, by a public con- fession of his faith, and baptism along with a large number of his fellow students. I5 In athletics his tall and well-built form made him the general favorite of all. In foot-ball and basket ball he was one of the star players. He was a member of the Delphic Literary Society and always prized very highly his society fellow- ship. He possessed rare skill in council and executive ability, and probably, as much as any other member, he helped to mould the policy of his society while an active member. He was an orator of unusual merit, and in his senior year won second place in the local oratorical contest. James was a ready and industrious student. He was never satisfied simply with what he could get from the text-book, but sought the largest knowledge possible on a subject through library references and read- ings. Probably no student in the school used the library more than he. In one term he read Nicolay and Hay's great work on Life of Lincoln, complete. He was exceedingly courteous and deferential to all his teachers. But no trait of his character was more prominent to those who knew him best than his almost passionate fondness for his home. Many a time did he walk from Hiram to his fatheris home, a distance of thirteen miles, that he might spend his Sunday there. He never seemed so happy as when holidays and vacation seasons per- mitted him to renew for a time his home fellowship and to find gratification for his great love of nature in the scenes of his father's farm. I-Ie had large plans for the future, and had he lived he certainly would have made a high place for himself in life. His death in the very prime of young man- hood with powers of mind and body well developed is one of the inscrutable mys- teries of life 5 but where we cannot know we may withhold our judgment, in faith trusting that our Heavenly Father doeth all things well.

VERY public institution is the resultant of a variety of forces, general and personal. The general forces may change from generation to generation and from century to century. The personal forces change from decade to decade, almost' from year to year. The men who, in I85O, created our beloved Institution, and who nurtured it in the years of its infancy, had mostly passed away or retired into the background in 1867, when the eclectic institu- tions took on the higher functions of college life. Moreover, but few of the leaders during the long administration of President Hinsdale, from 1872 to 1882, continued prominent in the advance movements of 1884 to 1900 that marked the administrations of Presidents Laughlin and Zollars. In that small but elect circle stood VVilliam Bowler. Mr. Bowler was born March 25, 1822, at Carlisle, N. Y. VVhile he was yet a lad his father came with the tide of westward migration to Ohio and settled in the adjoining township of Auburn. Students of ten years ago will remember that Mr. Bowler in his little informal chapel talks used to speak facetiously of the log college which he attended in Auburn, and which he helped to build. In 1851 he removed to Cleveland, where he resided till his death, November 15, 1901. As a business man he was prompt, energetic, and always a man of his word. His ideals of life were lofty and his liberality proverbial and wide spread. In the early history of the Y. M. C. A. in Cleveland he was in cordial sympathy with the work, serving at one time as president of the association. His liberality over- flowed his own immediate community, and many a silver communion service, now in use in Northern Ohio, was the gift of his thoughtful interest. He was a man of fine tastes and of strong domestic affections. He was twice married. The companion of his second marriage still lingers in the pleasant though shadowed home in Cleveland. Mr. Bowler first became a member of the College Board in 1873. From that time his service was unbroken until 1895, when failing health compelled him to resign his active membership. He was, however, an honorary member until the day of his death. The years of his most active participation in college enter- prises were from 1885 to 1892. During those years the original college building was remodeled, Miller Hall erected, Bowler Hall enlarged and considerable addi- tions made to the endowment, envolving a total expenditure of nearly SIO0,000. Of that amount he was probably the largest single contributor, and certainly no I7 f man of equal resources gave an equal measure. Had Mr. Bowler possessed a tions made to the endowment, involving a total expenditure of nearly SIO0,000. vided with a half-million-dollar endowment fund. But Mr. Bowler gave what is often more difficult to secure than money, he gave time, intelligent and sympathetic oversight. Through summer suns and winter storms he made frequent journeys to Hiram. Nothing that touched the welfare of the College escaped him. He gave SIOOO to improve the road to the station. The elegant cases of shells in the Museum were purchased and pre- sented by him. He had an eye to the healthfulness of the village and the comfort of the students. Hiram College will live to receive benefactions and develop a yet larger and richer lifeg but it is hardly possible that it will ever know a truer and more de- voted friend than William Bowler. if -E -- asf . --a f- .-vi lpn , '5 , - .q - E , X s Q 74 x I X: R55 QC xi N14 A nh X 5 X '7 U - ,.r.

At the usual age she entered the public schools, where she was a general favorite with both teacher and pupils. Completing her work here she entered Hiram College in the fall of 1895, continuing the work which she had so well begun. She pos- sessed an exceptionally bright mind, and both in the class-room and the Literary Society she was a leader. In the spring of 1900 she left school and took up the duties of a teacher, con- tinuing in this work until July 25, 1901, when she was married to Mr. William White, of Hiram. When she had been four months a bride she was again robed in her wedding garments, for death had claimed her. 18 Her life was a very happy one. She possessed the faculty of always looking on the bright side of things, and of making the best of everything that' came into her life. Her bright cheerful disposition won for her friends wherever she went. She was always willing to do her part, however humble it might he, in whatever way she was called upon, whether in school, church or society. In speaking of her life, Prof. VVakeheld, one of her favorite teachers, said: As a church worker she passed normally and in splendid fidelity through the grades. She was one of the most faithful Sunday School scholars that ever trudged with childish feet to the school on Lord's Day. When the time of rational choice came, and she heard the call of the Master, of course she accepted and confessed Him. Wlieii called to Society service she modestly and efficiently bore her part. Indeed, in all of life she had the disposition and the habit to go straight forth to do the thing she ought to do. She was a great lover of music. The :following was one ot her favorite songs: Not now, but in the coming years, lt may be in the better land, Wc'll read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, we'll understand, We are sure that while we are at a loss to know the meaning of our tearsf' she now understands, and we know that it cannot fail to be well with her who hath done what she could.

ARRIE GOODRICI-I was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, july 12, 1871, while her father was a professor in that college. 'When she was fifteen months old the father died. I-Ier early child- hood was passed in the country, in Southern Ohio. Later she spent eight years in the Coolville schools, then three years in Athens I-Iigh School and Ohio University. In the fall of ,QI she entered Hiram College, staying out that winter to teach a term of school near her old home. She graduated in '96, leaving a record as a most conscientious and earnest student, a faithful society worker and a help and inspiration to many a fellow student who came within her reach. In the fall of ,96 she went to Cleveland to enter the Kindergarten Training School. I-Ier work was interrupted for a year by illness at home, and she spent the time in teaching. Re-entering the next year she completed the work in -the spring of ,QQ, both herself and her mother having been for some time connected with the Lend-a-I-Iand Mis- sion of Celveland. She seemed in a rare degree to possess the talents demanded by her chosen work, and won the highest esteem of her teachers not only as an able student but as a peculiarly successful worker. In january of the same year she had been called to go as a Kindergartener to Japan. VVhile it had not been her intention to enter the foreign field, she had always held herself in the attitude of readiness for any call of the Master. And she went, sailing from San Francisco, September 29, 1899. At about the time of her landing changes of the laws made her particular Work impossible, and at best it began to seem of doubtful use there. In March of 1900, she went on into China, beginning the study of the language and taking, with the help of Mary Kelly, as interpreter, a kindergarten class in the Christian Girls' School in Nanking, The Boxer uprising made it necessary for her to go with the other mission- aries to the coast, and she spent some time in Shanghai, where she was married, August 22, to Dr. William Kelly, with whom she had become acquainted during her long voyage from America the year before. I-Ie was also a refugee from his inland station, Changteh, in the anti-foreign province of I-Iunan, where he was establishing a hospital and orphanage. I-Ie is described by those who l-:new him as a man of fine intellectuality and Christian character, and the union, to last but sixteen months, was one of supreme happiness. 20 That winter Dr. Kelly was called to Nanking to teach the grandsons of Li Hung Chang, and there Mrs. Kelly resumed her work in the Girls' School, with Mrs., Lyon and Miss Kelly. In May, 1901, Dr. Kelly was permitted to return to Changteh, but the consul would not permit Women to go into the interior. He returned to his wife in August, only to bring to both a fresh disappointment, but in November she was allowed to return with him. I She arrived at Changteh December Io, and after one day at home was taken ill, passing away on the evening of the seventeenth, in spite of skillful and anxious care. She said: 'Aft is all right. I would rather be in China than any place in the world, and it was her choice that her burial place was close to her new home. So in a Chinese coffin, amid foreign sights and sounds and faces, she was laid to rest on the upper terrace of a beautiful hill overlooking the River Yuan, a branch of the Yang-Tse, three miles below the city of Changteh, and a thousand miles from the coast. A missionary has said that no station seems to make much progress until a foreign grave is made, and we are sure that in some way this life was not sac- rificed in vain. A friend writes: 'fit is wonderful how many friends she had made among natives and foreigners alike. Nanking has shed many tears since the news came, and women among whom she had worked there say: Her earnestness was very great, and her loving heart was very largef' The burden of a terrible grief rests on her widowed and childless mother and her desolate young husband, but we know that she will arise, and we catch the echo of the words they sang as they left her sleeping by the river side: Sleep on beloved, sleep and take thy rest, Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast, We loved thee well, but Jesus loves thee best,- Good night. Until the Easter glory lights the skies, Until the dead in jesus shall arise, Till He shall come, but not in lowly guise, Good night. MYRTA G.

HE Naughty Two's early recognized unity brought about by soci- ability as an important factor in college life. And, since the hilarious , days of Senior-s Preps, not a term has lacked social functions. Fresh- gr man Thanksgiving Banquet, Farewell Reception of '98, Troy and Ravenna sleighrides, and 'l3eans at Peclcham's are strongly conno- gative C Pj expresssions to members who stood by the class in its early . Eigwi ays In the fall of our junior Year our Class Professor and wife held their last party for our class. How distinctly we recall the gracious- ness with which Professor and Mrs. McDiarmid exerted themselves for our entertainment, and how, when we left, they pressed upon us chrysanthemums and large red apples. Vivid memories are annual meetings about the table at Maud Rowland's, with insight into inner college life, serious and ludicrous. The picture gallery established there, conducive of merriment, needed no injunction, 6'Loolc pleasant. The social life of the Spring term revolved about our valiant social committee who instituted our unique morning walks. Qnce again, .on Arbor Day, we planted two trees, where each girl, after throwing up a shovel-full of sod, rejoiced that the majority of the class were boys. The fragrance of apple blossoms and trailing arbutus still call to mind the Iunior-Senior Banquet. At the Regal House party Prof, McDiarmid met with us for the last time. In our long association his death, last summer, is the only one that has occured: and he has been so deeply mourned that we have not had the heart to choose another class professor. Mrs. McDiarmid, thoughtful even in her sorrow, remembered us with holly at the Christmas tide. We are highly appreciative of the friendly reception given us by the under- classmen upon our first appearance in caps and gowns. How pleased we were to see the Freshmen waiting at the regular street-car stop to bidvus Godspeed as we went sailing past them on our way to the masquerading at jesse Turner's. Throughout their course the Naughty Two's have been distinguished by ac- complishing successfully what they have attempted. In athletics only, is there one exception. We own squarely, that when Freshmen we were beaten once at base-ball, but this defeat only took from us any Freshmen self-complacency we may have had. In the local oratorical contest our class was represented by five contestants, htree of whom won the first three places: and the winner of first place, Howard S. Woodxvarcl, also won the State Qratorical Contest for the first time in Hirain's history. Many of our class, beside regular college work, have also been actively en- gaged in their life-work, proud that ours is a bachelor class, although we reason- ably believe that some members became engaged in the Junior year, as may be proper. 25 Our Spring term we hope to live with characteristic vim and vigor, and at the end to let fall our Elijah's mantle upon loyal Sophs, trusting them to keep our standard high. Wlien we leave Hiram Hill, let us strive to know ourselves and our limitations, and then to attain to the highest good of which we are capable. HTSTORIAB i K 0 L l. o . Q l' H. Z.

And while we are looking forward toward the future with hope and expectancy, we would also for a little time look back over the year ' ii' ' which we have spent together in this dear old college town. i It is with a feeling of satisfaction that we review the history of , a year of earnest work and untiring effort, and of loyal devotion to i the Red and Wliite. We have not shirked our responsibilities, we have found the truest pleasure in trying to do our duty as we have known it, and we have endeavored to give due consideration to every phase of our college life. VVith early Autumn those who had pledged themselves to follow the traditions of the Junior year, and uphold the honor of 1903, returned to the old hill with a steadfast determination to issue the Junior publication, and with high hope for success. Others have since cast their lot with 1903, bringing! with them good fellowship and encouragement. We deeply regreet that some who were with us in the past, are among our number not more-but the severing of the ties which connected them with the class was their act, not ours. The work, then commenced, has been vigorously prosecuted. Though not many in number, the members have wrought earnestly and unanimously, and to their zeal and loyalty may be ascribed whatever measure of success shall be at- tained. The ready counsel, sympathy and kindness of our Class Professor during this year, in which there has been so much to do and so many difficulties to over- come, have been sincerely appreciated and will ever be gratefully remembered by the class. Class ties have been strengthened, friendships have been more firmly cemented, and class spirit, although not conspicuously manifested, is genuine and more intense than ever before. And the motto, Deeds, Not Words,,' our guiding star in the past, shall inspire us ever with its noble sentiment.

HF members of 1904 rejoice in the success and prosperity which have fallen to their lot as an organization, and consider themselves fortunate in owing allegiance to the class whose proud colors are the torquoise blue and white. The closing year has furnished several tests of our class pride and prowess, and the results have been quite satisfactory. Une autumn morning our flag was seen gracefully floating from the very top of the college tower. Hearts of Freshies swelled with impotent rage, and it might be there still, had not the mandate of the powers that be, consigned it to the murky depths of the great chimney. We cannot oppose the agents of authority, but we are quite sure that no opposing class will ever capture our banner. VVe maintained our athletic fame by defeating the Freshmen, in the class basket-ball game, with a score of 36 to 12. They made a plucky fight but the victory rested with us. A most pleasant event was the trolley ride to Chagrin Falls. The car ride, the songs, the supper and the toasts-we enjoyed them all and will not soon forget the occasion. Almost two years have passed since we entered into the college life, and the half-way mark looms only a little way before us. The splendid unity, loyalty and enthusiasm of the past are an inspiration for coming days, and we confidently and hopefully believe that there will be No Footsteps Backward.

And so with our forces augmented and rr g re-united we entered the year determined to make a clean record. QQ . The harmony of the class was undisturbed until the morning of ' October third, when there was to be seen floating from the college tower a flag under. which no loyal Qand there IS no otherb Freshman p ff I, could study or recite. The Sophs had placed their cheese cloth in a nearly inaccessible place so that its very position would be its suf- ficient defense, not caring, we suppose, to trust in any other kind. But the Freshmen procured poles, cotton and oil, ascended to the roof through the tower and preparations were almost complete for the downfall of the Hag when the Sophs attempted to come up through the tower. They were met on the steps by the Freshmen and were so completely checked and beaten that they soon retreated from the scene, defeated and sadly disfigured. Operations were then resumed by the Freshmen and complete success was within reach, when the powers that ben aroused himself and ordered a cessation of our efforts, with which orders we thought it the part of wisdom to comply. But our minds were content at seeing the flag disappear down the chimney, and so an 1'e7f01'1'-Hag! Early in the Winter Term, a sleigh ride was given, with a banquet at the Troy Hotel. The evening was highly enjoyed by all, and the evening's pleasure was only heightened by a little affair with the Sophomores. These gentlemen thought it would be real nice to break up our party and, as they were going thru col- lege, and never be defeated, the matter would be easy. VVhen the three sleds which were to carry our party arived at the Y. M. C. A. building, where the Fresh- men were assembled, the Sophs attacked-the sleds Cnot the Freshmenj. Loading the ladies, the class president, and a sufficient bodyguard for them into two sleds, we sent them out of town safely, gave over the other sled to the enemy Qwho numbered three to our onej and, procuring another sled, arrived at our destination safe and unhurt ,every man present. We learned during the evening that a cold and hungry band of Sophs were outside begging food and a fire, but thechostess was obdurate and they had to return sadder and, it is to behoped, wiser Sophs. The Sophomores won the inter-class basket-ball game February 22, in a hard game. Cur team did hard work, but were simply outclassed. We pass this feature of our history with few words. Altogether we think our class has had a fair share of victories in its course thus far,.and we confidently look to the future for many more. Thus may live long and prosper the Class of 'o5.

This year affords them the opportunity. As the class is young in the routine of college life, its record of A' events must needs be brief. ff?-,?'2'1 The class has been characterized by its unswerving loyalty. Mem- , bers rejoice with each other in times of joy, and a sorrow that touches the heart of one with in its numbers brings the trace of sympathy s .,g, upon the countenance of all. The social features of the class have been far above the average. Nothing has occured to deprive the class of its social enjoyment. In the line of athletics no class in school can claim a higher standard. The class produced a basket-ball team which was destined to be the first-class team to play against a team from another school. And it easily won the title of High School Champions of the State of Ohio. The class does not boast of its 4'scrapping abilities. But when an occasion presents itself when fighting is necessary, it is fully capable of protecting its rights. A member of the Class of 'o5. after having stolen the 'o6 banner, was very willing to give all information required concerning its whereabouts when confronted by a band of sturdy Seniors Preps. Another member of the same class attempted to resist '06 but was soon overpowered and glady settled the affair by presenting the class with a new staff for their banner, to replace the one he had broken. As to the future greatness of the class we are not now able to apprehend. But we believe, however, that when the commencement day of 1906 comes, Hiram will regretfully bid adieu to one of the brightest class-gems this alma matter has ever had the opportunity of sending forth to do the work of life. Above and over all we cling to the words of the sweetest of all singers: Deeds are better things than words areg Actions mightier than boasting. 43 V, J -401 -'N 'k 'QV -J' 4' ,gin XSN1 'Fei fi 'VX -f-xl, f-1 -I sf: 111 C I WEE'-51 n ml Wx xf Q11 I 'Umm 4,114,111 fax 1, X xx 4 1 A F 'HI' 'HR x ,Aj nw yin X !,xL 'S-.

Un Vlfednes- day evening of the same week the Society presented Colleen Bawnf' This play was well received and proved a success from a financial standpoint. It seemed that we had met with an irreparable loss when eight of our strongest girls left us last june. Yet, when the Society met again in the fall we found that much power was still left, which would soon be augmented from the ranks of the newcomers. Many girls cast their lot with us who gave promise of becoming as true and loyal 0. Bfs as any of those whom we had lost. They have done their part nobly and we may say that never have new girls displayed more zeal, integ- rity and intense interest in their work than have these. The programs throughout the year have been of a high order. In these, his- torical, literary and scientific subjects have been considered. Nor have we neg- lected questions of the day, many of these having received special attention in debates, which has been an important feature in our work. The leaders of division should be commended for their promptness in posting the programs. Such promptness adds Greatly to the efficiency of the Society. As we look hack over D the year just passed we feel that it has been one of progress and growth in every wav. Again, in june, O. B. Hall must open its doors to allow several more of her dauohters to pass out of the world of books into the world of reality and activity VVebshall be sorry to lose them. but we trust that wherever they go they may give ' l ' l l'f lived here and broaden and brighten and bless from the abundance of tie rici 1 e . 6 the lives of all with whom they come in contact.

Nor was this done in vain, as shown by the record of the winner in the oratorical contest. For the first time in the history of the Oratorical Association four judges gave first place to one man. The winner, Mr. Howard S. Xhfoodward, was heartily supported at the State Contest by all societies, and succeeded in winning the much coveted honor for Hiram. ' However, the contest work represents but a small portion of that done by the Society. Hard, earnest work has always been characteristic of the Society as is manifested by the uniform excellence of the programs presented. ln the middle of the Fall Term the now famous 0raclel' was given by the Society. It was up to the old standard, and was so well attended that an overflow meeting was held. The program was bright and full of fun, but entirely free from that bitterness which is so apt to be associated with college jokes. - Hiram has long felt the need of an inter-society debate as preparatory to a debate with our sister colleges. Her wish has at last been gratified. And Hiram College has just reason to be proud of that debate as indicative of the earnestness and force which will win fresh victories in inter-collegiate debates. The laurels passed to the wearers of the star. The battle was nobly lost and as nobly won. 55 Aside from sterner duties there have been many gatherings for lighter pleas- ures, which will leave precious memories in the hearts of those who glory in the Delphic brotherhood. After the Oratorical Contest a banquet was served in the gymnasium, at which over one hundred were present. With Charlie Smith as toastmaster, time slipped away unnoticed until far after midnight, when all went home with happy hearts. Again, at the close of the debate, a reception was given to Delphic friends in the old library. The supposition was that they came to eat crow, but judging from the merry laughter, and the merry pranks of Seniors and other classmen, this most unpalatable of all foods was eaten with zest, if not with relish. During the ensuing week there occured a novel event, yet one which brings the Hush of pride to all true-hearted Delphics. The Delphic girlsf' desiring to show the appreciation of our efforts, gave a reception to the society in the old library. A more enjoyable evening would be hard to imagine. Near the close of the eveningjs gaieties, a silk banner of purple and gold was presented by the ladies to the Society. lt now hangs in the hall behind the President's chair, a fitting emblem of the regard of Delphic girls. The variety of the programs rendered is shown by the program given on March 3, the general subject being American Qdditiesf' with such topics as HBalds Heads Wfithout and VVithin, I-Iira1n's Qdditiesf' and closing with the debate upon the question, Resolved, That Bachelors Should Be Taxed to Support Old Maids. Un the tenth of March the Society resolved itself into the United States Senate and discussed the Philippine Tariff Issue. The debate was charac- terized by depth and earnestness, and is a good example of the work done in the Society. To the new Delphics we extend a hearty welcome to our cherished hall. To the old, a welcome is ever ready in the warm hearts of the present members. H1sToR1AN. A fi 4 56 The Hesperian Literary Society. Motto: 'lCandor dat viribus alas.

HE second year of the new century witnesses Hesperia still vigorous, still zealous of progress, and still endeavoring to uphold her high l ideals. The year has been one of much work and close application. Realizing that labor is the better part of genius, Hesperia has earn- estly striven to perform her allotted tasks and her appointed duties. Though seven Seniors were graduated from the Society last summer, she was at the same time recruited by eleven men who brought with them the excellent training received in the Garfield Society. Wlieii the College doors swung open in the fall. still others joined the ranks of those who follow the guidance of Hesperus. Thus, from year to year is assured the life and vigor of the Society. Although the wearers of the cream were not awarded first place in the oratorical contest of December 13, they felt it no mean honor that a Hes- perian was a close second to one who later received the highest rank at the State Inter-collegiate Contest. The members of the Hesperian Society extend their congratulations to the Winner. They are glad that Hiram has been accorded first honors in oratory among Ohio's colleges. Last vear the worshipers of Apollo challenged their rivals to a public debate. This debate occured on the evening of January 31. The question was, K'Resolved, That Under Existing Conditions. the Abolition by All Civilized Nations of Their Armies and Navies, iOther Than Those Required for the Maintenance of Domes- 61 tic Peace, is Feasiblef' The negative was supported by the Hesperians. After an interesting and well contested discussion, the decision of the judges was ren- dered in favor of the negative. All Hesperians will long remember the evening of February 4. It was then that their lady friends manifested their ability to entertain. The old library room was tastefully decorated and presented a very attractive appearance. The hours spent here were exceedingly pleasant ones. We will long be grateful to those who gave us so much pleasure on this occasion, for we regard this as one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the Society. On the twenty-fifth of February the Society presented Shakespeare's l'Much Ado About Nothing. Because of the limited time the preparation of this play was a problem of considerable difficulty. Yet we feel that the problem was solved, thanks to the faithful efforts of the cast and efficient training of Prof. Kirkpatrick. The comedy element, as it should, ran throughout, and heightened the appreciation of the play. For several years the Society has presented tragedy: this year she showed her ability to present comedy as well. NVe heartily appreciate the valuable assistance rendered by the members of the ladies, societies. Vlfithin the last year important additions have been made to the Hesperian library. The proceeds of our last year's entertainment were largely used for that purpose, and many of the alumni have made valuable contributions. XVe are especially grateful to Mr. F. C. Robbins, Mr. H. R. Cooley and judge H. C. Wliite, of Clevelandg Mr. H. F. Miller, of Lowell, Q., and Mr. I. K. Baxter, of Mt. Vernon, 0. Throughout the year the Society has tried to present programs of worth. Her members have been burdened with a full quota of college studies. They have, as far as possible, entered into the many functions of college life. Yet, in spite of other things, a keen and lively interest has been taken in the work of the Society. We trust that in the coming year still greater interest and a still broader vision will dominate all the life of Hesperia. HISTORIAN.

P histor f is drawing to a close, addmo' one more Jaffe to the record of 5 I rs :J . I l as . busy fleeting years that have left their nnpress upon lives that have QQ gone out from Hiram. 0 X Last june, nine of Alethea's daughters finished the work of prepa- QQ ration here in our midst and went into the wide world, there to fill QQ their places, many to teach and one to further continue the work of N 0 N are aration. On that une evening, we knew that we were to lose Q Q l P A g c- Q , l fk some of our strongest and most faithful sistersg yet, there was a thrill ' of joy and pride in every heart, for we felt that Alethea was well per- forming her duty. She was sending out her best, to the world which needed them so much. At the beginning of the year, when we returned, we found that our hall had been re-arranged in a way that made our meeting place much more pleasant than it had ever been before. Many of our former sisters had returned and were ready to commence another year's work together. Soon new members were added to our numbers and throughout the whole year we have had reason to be proud of these new girls. In our programs, various and interesting subjects have been discussed, and we feel that every evening spent in our hall has been a benefit to us. In February a special program was rendered and this seemed to be much appreciated by our friends. In the autumn days, when Nature had put most of her children to sleep and tucked them away from the cold, Alethea was called upon to perform one of the saddest duties and lay away to rest one of her truest daughters.. Olivia Udall Wliite had been with us for several years and was one of our most faithful workers. Although so young in life, she has Hnished the earthly journey and has left with us the memory and influence of true and noble young womanhood. Once again Death wandered among the Alethean numbers, and in the winter 66 days, word was borne to us over the waters that Carrie Goodrich Kelly had fin- ished her life record. Carrie Goodrich was one of the Qlive Branch daughters, honorably dismissed to form the new society. She became Alethea's second Presi- dent. She was infiuential in starting our library and presented one of the first books. Two years of work in China closed the life of this faithful and conscientious worker, who had done what she could, toiling for the Master, and who was the first of Hiram's graduates to fall upon the foreign field. Now, as the year is drawing to a close, we have much work yet before us, but hope is strong in the hearts that Truth has won, and we. confidently look for- ward to its fulfilment. lrVhen the end comes we believe we can look back upon a year as prosperous as any in Alethea's history. In june, three more of our girls will leave us, going from us to carry Truth wherever they go. These, too, we shall miss. Cur hope is that even to the eve- ning of life, when the shadows are deep, as in their golden youthful hours, they may hold fast the lessons of Truth learned in our Alethean Hall.

Motto: 'Spectamur Agenda 68 l 1 rv BAK ,tvs 5 9,6 History of Garfield Society. HE year that has just passed has been a creditable one for the Garfield Literary Society, although the Society has had fewer members than during some previous years. But this deficiency has been more than counterbalanced by the intense spirit shown by the members in careful preparation and rendering of their productions. Thus the literary standard of the Society has been raised to a higher level. The Garfield Society was organized in 1894, exclusively for pre- paratory students. Since that time it has steadily grown in strength, spirit and power, until now it holds an honored place among the col- lege societies. The preparatory student, upon coming to Hiram, re- ceives an embrace of welcome from the Garfield Society. But, after he has spent a profitable season among the Garfielders, with whom he has formed many pleasant friendships and associations, which he will never forget, he bids the dear old hall farewell. Then he falls into the outstretched arms of either the Hesperians or the Delphics, receiving a warmer welcome because of having been under the Garfieldfs influence. But if, instead, he treads the paths of the wide world he will find himself rnuch better prepared to fight the battles of life because of having passed through the Society's training. The Garfield Society, true to former customs and traditions, gave an annual entertainment, 4'The Private Secretary-,U during the Fall Term. The play was well presented, reflecting honor upon those who took part, and upon the Society as a whole, making the Garfielders feel that they are able to undertake and accom- plish great things. The good work of last year in the way of improving and beautifying the Garfield Hall was continued. The old oil lamps, which have been inadequate, were removed, and electric lights put in their place. This change adds much to the beauty of the hall. During the year the Society has also had a hundred copies of its constitution printed. ' Looking into the future of the Garfield Society, and applying the old prin- ciple, 'fWhat we are today, our future will be, we cannot but find that future glorious, for the present is grand.

HE past year in Hiram's athletic circles has been of more than ordinary interest. The wide and somewhat stormy discussion of athletic mat- ters has Hnally served to broaden the interest in athletics, and greatly to strengthen the Association. Early in the year there was some dissatisfaction with the old Association, and a new Association was organized. It was manifestly impossible that two associations should receive proper support. The gg continuance of both meant death to athletics in the College. Hence a 44 joint committee representing both associations and the faculty met' to formulate some plan of restoring unity. The committee did its work Q-flax and an entirely new Association was the result. The occasion afforded opportunity to revise the old constitution and introduce valuable new features. VVith the adoption of the new constitution, differences were forgotten and harmony of action prevailed. Some features of the constitution as finally adopted will be of interest: A Board of Directors, consisting of the President of the Association, two members of the faculty, and two students, has general oversight' of the Association. The enrollment of members is placed in charge of the Student Treasurer, who, within the first two weeks of each term collects all dues, giving membership tickets as receipts. He then turns over all dues to the Faculty Treasurer. The Faculty Treasurer holds and disburses all funds of the Associationg he furnishes to the managers of teams tickets to all games, to the Secretary a revised roll for each termg to the Athletic Editor of the Ad-vomce a monthly statement of receipts and expenditures 3 and to the President of the College a summarized annual report to be included in the report of the President. Managers of teams must submit to the Faculty Treasurer within three days after each contest in Hiram, or three days after return from a contest elsewhere, an itemized account of receipts and expenditures for that contest. With regard to the personnel of teams there are the following provisions: Each player upon the College team must be a member of the Association, and student of the College taking regular class work which requires at least ten hours' recitation per week, not more than five of which shall be in special departments 3 he must also perform his Work to the satisfaction of his teacher or teachers. The Association recognizes the right of the Faculty to remove from the Asso- ciation or from any team a member who has shown himself unworthy. The provisions of this constitution guarantee good business admiristration, some degree of faculty oversight and pure College athletics. The new regime has been in power practically from the beginning of the Vtfinter Term. The Faculty 73 Treasurer, Prof. Colton, has put his business tact into the work. The member- ship has been increased materially over that of previous terms, and with wise management and the hearty support of the student body, the net receipts for the 'Winter Term were above a hundredand twenty-five dollars. Reference should be made to the special activities of the Association. At the time of this writing base-ball practice has commenced, but it is too early to judge correctly of the prospects. However, if hard work counts for anything, the season will not be a failure. Field Day is expected to be a success. In basket-ball, however, the historian is glad to report a season far beyond the highest expectation of anyone at the opening of the year, Of the 'KThe Cham- pions of Ohio of last year, none were at first expected to play. All the team were comparatively young players. But these, with unexampled courage and determin- ation came to the front, and the strongest college teams of the State have suffered defeat at their hands, The team of 1901-o2, working under great disadvantage, are deserving of the highest praise for the fine record they have made. Next year will find them an old team, and we may justly expect still greater things from them. To conclude, the Association is now prosperous. The existing spirit in ath- letics, the wide interest, the removal of all suggestion of professionalism-these are prophetic of a future far beyond the past. This is well, for College athletics must be supported in spirit as in purse. Self-interest requires it. College loyalty demands it.

The local contest was an event which was Sl' looked forward to with great anticipation, and which was looked back but only one could win. -- Howard Wloodward received first place, according to the clause 0 KV . , 465-iw upon with pleasure. The seven contestants acquitted themselves nobly -A gig in the constitution, which says that it shall be givento the orator ranked first by four judges. Mr. VVoodward's oration was entitled jj The Creed That Curses. It was a very worthy production, and was 45 Q92 delivered in faultless manner. The Association was very fortunate in judges, both on thought and composition, and on delivery. One of the judges on thought and composition, Rev. WY j. Lhamon, of Alle- gheny, Penn., was so interested in the orations that he attended the contest. The other two judges were Prof. j. F. Genung, Amherst College, Mass., and Prof. E. H. Hopkins, Dean of Law School, Cleveland. The judges on delivery were the following: Atlee Pomerene, Canton, O., Prof. E. A. Smith, Meadville, Penn., and A. R. lfVeber, Elyria, 0. lt was a very enthusiastic crowd that gathered in front of the Y. M. C. A. Building to see that Mr. Vlfoodward started in good spirits. On the day following about seventy-five students went to Akron in a special car decorated with flags and banners. Enthusiasm ran high when the news was flashed over the wires that Hiram had won the State Contest. We may, perhaps, have deserved it before, but this time we had deserved it and had won. After the Akron contest, our local constitution was revised in order to make it conform to the State Constitution. The principal changes being, that each society shall not be allowed to enter more than three contestants and, that instead of having three judges on thought and composition and three others on delivery, five judges shall, on the night of the annual contest, render a decision on thought, composition and delivery, grading the orations on the scale of loo, the one grade comprehending -the three points. lt is believed that more satisfactory results can be obtained by this method. Hiram had the honor of furnishing the Secretary for the State Association. H. B. Turner, who was also local Secretary, was chosen for the place. His work in both offices was performed faithfully and creditably, and showed rare executive ability. As an organization our associations together have been very pleasant, and we give the work over to the new Association with somewhat of reluctance, but yet with great hopes for the future. Wliat has been done can be done again, and the success this year will lead to redoubled efforts in the years to come. IEss1E JEROME. 82 h I I' Q l '- .

The one ideal, however, is splendidly constructiveg the other is violently destructive. The Christian political philosopher is leading the people toward that perfect L state whose basic principle is co-operation for the good of allg the anarchist would lure the people downward to political chaos in which the common weal would be subverted, and the throne of the self- seeking individual supreme. The one proclaims government to be a power ordained by Godg the other denounces government as a usurp- ing tyrant, subsisting upon a fiction of Right invented by Might. The Christian believes in an eternal purpose, and toward its accomplish- ment he devotes his loving service. It is this creed that brings blessing to all man- kind. The doctrine of the anarchist is that of supreme selfishness, which rejects the brotherhood of man, and acknowledges no authority. This is the creed that curses. 6' HE Christian ideal of government is persistently misapprehended. It is often confounded with the ideal of anarchism. True, both agree to Qi? QP As a political faith, anarchism was first categorically stated at Geneva, Switzer- land. Its formula is: 'KLet your own happiness be your only law. But in order to get this law recognized, you must destroy everything as it now exists. Ss In only thirty-three years, this doctrine of destruction has been disseminated to the uttermost parts of the earth. Its avowed purpose is to bring the minds of men to that depraved state in which they shall no longer feel respect for the powers that be. Sedition, riot, death, are its visitations. Its victims among men of low estate are uncounted, but it most exults in striking down the exalted of the earth. It has slain a Czar of Russia, an Empress of Austria, a President of France, a King of Italy. And now, that terror may be increased, and the strong arm of authority weakened, it has finally dealt its most unreasonable blow-a blow at the sovereignty of the people. It was at the recent gathering of the sister states of the Westerii World. The genius of men's minds, expressed by the work of 1Tl61'1iS hands, proclaimed the nations' progress. The greatest hour of the greatest day arrived. The beautiful Temple of Music was draped with the silken folds of the Stars and Stripes. Thousands of people crowded hard upon each other. The happy smile of a con- tented man cheered even the meanest in that multitude. The hearty clasp of an un- tiring hand drew closer the bonds of a loyal people to the great heart of their Presi- dent. But the incarnation of the creed that curses so bittery, was there. No one saw it. So stealthily it moved that no one heard it, till suddenly, at the blow of death, the startled throng shuddered, the devoted heart of the people bled, the wide World lost a friend. b That fearful tragedy was a shock to millions of people, yet it was the legitimate fruitage of a Godless creed. Arraign the assassin at the bar of justice, and listen to his attempt to vindicate himself as a servant of society. A servant? No, a melancholy brooder actuated by a mistaken philanthropyg 21 despot who would coerce the people, and tyrannize over their liberties, the herald of a craven assault upon the truth-entrenched forces that make for peace. A servant? No, a traitor 5 a traitor to himself, for he surrenders the fortress of his manhood to the command of an iniquitous creed, a traitor to humanity, for he attacks the color-bearer of its order and welfare, a traitor to God, for he would wreck the human institutions through which must come the solution of this divine problem of government: We denounce the exponent of the accursed creed of anarchism, not more for his fiendish method than for his unholy purpose, not more because he assassinates men than because he would assasinate law. Though in a thousand years he shall fail of this latter crime, yet will he not despair, so long as there live those citizens who till the hot-bed of infamous lawlessness. To be consistent, then, we must condenm the lawless spirit which is passing in and out at our very doors. The officer who violates his oath, promulgates the creed that curses. The citizen who invades the sanctity of the ballot-box with crafty plots of deception g the operator who coerces dependent employees that lawlessness may be covered up, the labor organization that substitutes violence for legitimate methods, the monopoly that fills our legislative halls with the agents of its own selfishness, the 84 court that nullities law by willful misconstructiong-these, though they lack the name, yet lack not the spirit of anarchists. Do you ask further evidence of the anarchy that dwells in our very midst? Follow the mob of most respected citizens while it sacrifices, it may be a guiltless man, to the god of vengeance. Tell me then we are not sowing the wind from which we shall reap the whirlwind. Three thousand lynchings in twenty years, one every other day, is the record of a most deplorable Hepidemic of savageryf' The blood of these helpless thousands cries out to the manhood of our nation from the crimsoned soil of every state save seven. The deeds of brutal passion grow less repulsive with familiarity, and the hendish mob, once satisfied with the rope, now often turns with relish to the cruelties of the stake. The bumed bodies of these victims will be forgotten, but the scar on the body politic will be an eternal witness to its unholy relationship with the red-handed anarchist. Sow the seeds of anarchy and reap loyalty to law? No! Never can you excuse law-breakers, and rear honest law-makers and fearless law-enforcers. In recent months both South and North have spoken words more trumpet- tongued than ever before in denunciation of mob-law. The slumbering conscience of the nation stings under the lash of righteous protest and appeal. Yet there are men, the wide country over, men of influence, men of learning, leaders in business, even teachers of religious thought, who advocated lynching the murderer of our martyred President, that public vengeance might be satiated. This too, even though in the shortest possible time, the swift and sure processes of the law were certain to bring punishment upon him! What means this clamor? Is not its effect more destructive of respect for government than the guerrilla warfare of the despised anarchist? And, after the law was majestically triumphant, what does it mean that so many of our papers editorially praised the American people as having done something marvelously meritorious? Surely it is time there should come the rebuk- ing voice of another Jeremiah, if our civilization has become so permeated with the spirit of anarchism that there is cause for astonishment when we are not swept into barbarism by a momentary excitement. Woe to us when we become so lawless that to yield obedience to authority shall swell us with pride! A long series of centuries is evolving that perfection of government in which the best in each man shall control the inferior within himself. To compare our crude achievement of government with this ideal, is to confess failures that cause distrust and doubt and fear. There are grievous inequalities in society, and many cruel wrongs. Every student and lover of mankind understands this, and longs and prays and toils for remedy. But the steeps of the nobler civilization are being scaled even by this rugged way, and no patriotic soul would turn back to the wilder- ness of barbarism, there to begin the same struggle again. Amidst all the disinte- gration that lawlessness works, we must never lose heart. The very spirit that would destroy law is itself a witness to the divine necessity of law and of the insti- 35 tutions it implies. To live in peace, each man must respect the rights of every other. This is constraint, and constraint is law. Heaven forbid that the people shall persist in turning from law to lawlessness, from righteous rule to any form of anarchy. Such a course gives no look toward heaven, it faces the depths of despair. I offer no new remedy for this disease of disorder which selfishness and passion breed. The Great Physician alone presents the healing touch for the fevered world -the law of loving service. Only by co-operation in the development of righteous- ness in government can man approximate the fulfillment of this supreme law of his being. Like everything else imperfect man undertakes to do, the administration of government will be imperfect. lt will be made more nearly perfect, however, not by the lawless citizen, not by the impassioned mob, not by the vicious anarchist. Witness the Master, who sheathed the swords of His disciples rather than resist the soldiers who, though unhallowed their errand, represented lawful authority. Better the weariness, better the pain, better the cross, than even suggest to future generations a right to chose disobedience to law. The true ideal is the ultimate Christian state. But I plead, Iirst of all, for a citizen faithful to the state of today, a citizen untainted by the creed that curses, planting his life in the common life, and leading his fellow men to reverence law as the schoolmaster of their education in love, a citizen who, having a vision of the realization in the nation of that law which is God, shall compass the whole octave of human effort, that, perchance, out of the discord of today may be born the har- mony of tomorrowg a citizen who is a practical idealist, one with this vision that fires the soul, one with this spirit of service that the darkness of night shall not arrest, that the course of the day shall not weary-this spirit, giant-grown, that shall yet hurl down the pillars of the temple where confusion sits enthroned, and, treading in its righteous majesty over the massy ruins, shall stand forth, the vic- torious champion of the ideal state. 86 A Plea For the Negro. wifi HE American negro has been a potent factor in American civilization. f ' As a slave, he engendered political discord and rent the land with civil 5 3 strife. A slave no longer, he casts upon our land the shadow of his darkened past. Wlieii from his wrists there fell the shackles of slavery, into his hand was put the American ballot. Mark the situation: two distinct i 'i ' races, linked inseparably together, but fearfully unequal in every ele- lrlrl---mimvlw mellt of CltlZC1'lSl'llp. Yell lil 'Elle COHS'ElfUllOH ill WHS XV1'i'ElIf':1'l, iITl1CS6 . K ' two are equal. It was not true then-it could not be. Slavery had debased the negrols manhood, and destroyed his power to assert itg ' and the unwritten yet more potent law of social prejudice forbade his recognition. It is not true now. The negro is still inferior, and he is still black. In these two facts lies the problem of his future. Wliether he will ever become, in reality as in name, the white man's equal, is an open question. If he rises to equality, men fear the mingling of the races, yet if he remain a debased inferior, he will be a constant menace to society and an ever-present barrier to progress. Another fact should plead for the uplifting of the negro-he is not respon- sible for his degradation. He came here against his willg the white man debased him, and is threfore in honor bound to lift him up. This is the only safe, the only just, the only honorable course. Opposing the negro's progress upward there are two great barriers. The first is the negro's own weakness: the second, perhaps the stronger, is the white' man's prejudice, which denies him equal opportunities and burdens him with wrongs. Upon us, therefore, as loyal citizens seeking to remove these barriers of weak- ness and prejudice, falls the sacred duty to gain clear conceptions of that weak- ness, and of the wrongs which are the expression of that prejudice. Go. with me, then, to the sunny Southland-to the little hovel the negro calls home. Here in happy indolence and ignorant vice, the negro rears his children. See a whole family living, eating, sleeping in a single room, and conceive, if you can, the blighting influence of such a home upon these unfolding human lives. Realize that this home is but one of thousands, and you can get some conception of the poverty and ignorance and degradation which constitute the negro's weak- 37 . -M ji - -- Pr r i:iel e ei'-- er- f gg legit,-i.. ,',,5,'r,f-1, ',fe,'Tigg,3,,fr,f,i,,-17 L gg.. ness. You ask, Wliy is this ? I answer, he is the son of a bondman. Slavery robbed the negro of his family life and left him debasedg it taught him that labor is for slaves, it left him helpless to battle for himself in a strange, hostile world. Forty years have accomplished much for him, but they have not made him an in- telligent man, nor an upright, prosperous, useful citizen. It is easy for a strong race to wrong a weak race. Intended kindness may become the deepest injury. It was an injury when the North, moved by violent sympathy, gave him the ballot. This action put on him a responsibility beyond his powers, it exposed him to the treacherous arts of political trickstersg it stirred the whole South to its profoundest depths, and inaugurated a Reign of Terror. That crisis has passed-and now what have the states of The Black Belt done? They have enacted laws which say, The right to Vote shall be dependent upon education and property,', but have provided that these conditions shall not apply to the white man. Un what plea have they wrested from the negro the equal right guaranteed him by the constitution? On the plea of ignorance and poverty. That these are a menace to good government no one will deny-but why have they not cut off the ignorant white vote with the black? VVhy this discrimination? It is no new thing for the negro to yield his ballot-but to yield it at the command of the law, the voice of the people, the Saxon's boasted instrument of justice to all men- this is the rankling arrow in the negro's breast. Come with me to the nation's capital. See there sitting side by side, two men -one the chief magistrate of a mighty nation, the other the foremost man of his race, the Negro Mosesf' A prophetic sight-two races, long at variance, sun- dered by cast, now met as equals, in perfect harmony. But, ah! a storm of indig- nant protest! America has not yet learned to measure manhood by character. Do the negrols wrongs end with social ostracism and political discrimina- tion? For answer I point you to the South, where Haming stake and quivering fiesh heralded to the world the shame of the American people-an iniquity worthy of the inquisition dogs and the devildoms of Spainf' And with shame in my heart, I point to our own fair state, where a black citizen was denied that sacred right of a citizen-trial by a jury of his peers. Wll6I'6 shall these things end? Crime can never cure crime, and the lynching of one negro fires a thousand hearts with hatred. Innocent or guilty, the victim is a martyr in the eyes of his brothers, and their hearts thirst for revenge. We plead for a public sentiment which shall abhor this dastardly lynching- for a sense of justice which shall recognize a manhood wherever it is found-for a public honor which shall scorn to deny to the degraded black the privilege it grants to the degraded white. VV e plead for a human sympathy broad enough to embrace the meanest and most degraded citizen of our land. justice and sympathy will heal the negro's wrongs, but these are not sufficient. His weakness must be overcome. Is there a training broad enough and deep 88 enough to give him the needed strength? Yes-and even now it is proving its power. The industrial education afforded by such schools as those of Hampton, Virginia, and Tuskegee, Alabama, is lifting the negro slowly but surely. The unskiled, ignorant negro youth enters the school. He is taught to read and write, and to do well the simple tasks of daily life. He is taught the value of economy. He learns some useful trade, and day by day he plies it at the forge or bench. If his life is to be spent in agriculture, he is taught, both in the school and in the field, the science of farming. Thus he becomes a valuable citizen-a pro- ducer, not merely a consumer. To the training of brain and hand is added the culture of the heart. In the fertile soil of his awakening manhood the precious seeds of honesty and purity take root and grow, and at length his moral nature is transformed. Thus he comes out a man-honest, industrious, capable. To his own race he is an object lesson in industry, economy and purity, to the white race he proves that the negro may become a man. This is the first step in the transformation of a community-for the black man a transformation from weak- ness to strength-for the white man from prejudice to respect and friendship. So marvelous a change may require centuries, and none can prophesy with absolute assurance its complete consummationg but the progress and promise of this edu- cation furnish the strongest ground for hope. If you would save the negro from his weakness, the white man from his prejudice, you can find no better way than to encourage and multiply the schools which are accomplishing this work. We have dealt with the negro's weakness-is it manly to be silent concerning his strength? XIVC shall search long before we find another race which would suffer so patiently in bondage, waiting in silence for the coming of a brighter day. Not in our own race can we find an example of stronger fidelity than that of the black man, who, while his master fought to keep him in bondage, stifled his long- ing for freedom, and remained at home with his mistress and her little ones, willing, if need be, to lay down his life for them. We shall find no more sublime faith in a wise and loving Providence than the humble negro showed, trusting for the dawn in the midst of the blackest darkness of slavery. And never has an American, I care not what his parentage, fought more bravely or died more truly for his country, than the simple, faithful, black soldier. No citizen is today more truly loyal, no man more truly faithful to a trust, than he who hides his virtues under a black skin. The negro of America has a future before him. Wfhat that future shall be no man can know, and only the action of the two races and the guiding hand of an All-Wfise Father can determine. Unceasing struggle, undying hope on the part of the black-unflinching justice, unfailing sympathy on the part of the white-these will raise him to the position for which the God of nations has de- signed him. That this will be nothing less than the full stature of equal manhood, 89 f 1 v f! 4 gi 2 fl Ll v U is 4. 1 ,l ll ll l i 1 I l i fl ll it P? l 4 i i 2 I l who can doubt except he deny the existence of that God Who hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth PM We dare not doubt that the negro has a mission on the earth. We cannot foresee, we dare not limit the possibility of his future. Out of the soil of slavery sprang a Frederick Douglass, out of the first generation of freedom has come a Booker T. VVashington. When for centuries each successive generation shall have breathed tl1e air of freedom and poured out the growing wealth of manhood upon the generation following-then the true greatness of the negro shall appear. Then shall be made plain the long bondage, the bitter scorn, the violence of cen- turiesg and out of the dark past, with mutual helpfulness and love, shall have come for white and black a more enduring and perfect manhood. To the patriot heart there comes a vision of that day. Two races dwell in harmony, perhaps separate as the fingers in all things social, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress :U in citizenship and industry no white, no black: character, not color, measuring manhood: each race seeing in the other a strength not its owng each loving the other, trusting the other, en- nobling the other. ' The slavels chain and the 1ll21S'EC1'iS alike are broken, The one curse of the race held both in tetherg Tlfey are rising, all are rising, The black and white together. 05 i' X Q TW it QV A NC- NS Qf 5 Q0 OFFICERS.

CSummary of the Presidents Annual Reportl Alva: fl, ' EURING the year there have been 126 Noonday prayer meetings with : 3 an average attendance of 86. Of the 33 'KSaturday night meetings 2 with an average attendance of 63, five have been Missionary, three :---2 Special, and two Life-work meetings, one by A. McLean, on Mis- g sions as a Life Work, and the other by H. J. Haskell, on Com- E mercial Travelingf' At the opening of the Fall Term, four classes, with a total en- 5 3 rollment of 40, were organized in Bosworth's f'Studies in Acts and Epistles, and Burton's Records and Letters of the Apostolic Agef' Ili! I iil'If' The classes, meeting, as they did, in the students' rooms, have been free, informal and helpful. The Mission Study Class, taught by Prof. Paul, has been re- markable because of size and interest. It stands foremost among the Mission Study Classes of the world. The enrollment has been as follows: In the Spring Term, 108, in the Fall Term, about 175, of which Q0 were young meng in the VVinter Term, 117, of which 59 were young men. The average attendance for the last two terms was 79. A missionary alcove has been secured in the Library for all missionary literature. The Volunteer Band has had a membership of 13, of which IO are young men. A Cycle of Prayer was established for Hiram's missionaries on the foreign Held and for the work at home. The Museum, started during the year, now contains over 1oo articles. To the Fourth International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement held at Toronto, Hiram sent I4 men, eight women, and two professors. The fol- lowing amounts have been raised during the year: For a missionary map, 314, for O. J. Grainger, now in the foreign field, S505 for sending delegates to the Toronto Convention, 385.235, an endeavor is now being made to have Hiram sup- port its own missionary in the foreign field. About 137 different men have been members of the Association. During the year seven young men have been brought to Christ. There have been on file in the Reading Room 21 monthlies, 16 Weeklies, three dailies, one cumulative index and 20 religious papers. Seven receptions have been held, one of which Q2 was given in the Fall Term to the delegates attending the State Y. VV. C. A. Convention held in Hiram at that time. The Finance Committee reports a small balance with which to begin the work of the new year free from the hindrance of debt. The Lecture Course has been exceptionally strong. Although the most expensive that has ever appeared on the Hiram platform, it has been self-sustaining. There were printed 4oo 72-page hand books, bound in red leather, which have been distributed among the old and new students. The Central Religious Committee has been engaged chiehy in carrying on the Sunday School work near Hiram. Two old schools have been maintained and a new one established. ln an information meeting held by the Committee on Inter-collegiate Relations, we were brought in touch with various phases of Asso- ciation work, and also learned something of the work in I2 different countries. At the Lake Geneva Summer School, we were represented by a delegation of five young men. A movement is now on foot for the establishment of a permanent Summer School Fund by having those receiving help while attending summer school, refund the money within four or five years after leaving College. The ultimate purpose for which the Association exists is the reproduction of Christ in the lives of men. This phase of the Work is too subtle to be measured by figures and facts, but stretches away toward the long vista of the coming years '1 A E, NV. it me TN E: ES-li E - ix, W, 3 i W ? 1' till l N Vflx' x ' I X WT LX S , 1' Q iq .ff Q 'TT' gli 1 v- Q4 sshd it JM E E A N til T- Q . ,,,.

A. has passed away and W left its record stamped indelibly upon the hearts and lives of many Q girls. It has been a year marked by deep interest and enthusiasm and 5 2 a high spiritual tone. ln july four girls attended the summer con- ? A , E ference at Geneva and gleaned many helpful thoughts and sugges- g A 2 tions which they gave to the Association on their return to College E E at the beginning of the year. The fall campaign work was especially well planned by our efficient President, whose untiring efforts through.- out the year have caused all to' feel a deeper interest in the work. As is customary, a reception was tendered the new girls the first week of the Fall Term, that they might the sooner become acquainted and united by the strong bond of friendship. Early in the term tive Bible classes were organized, in which The Life of Christi' and 'fActs and Epistles were studied in a careful and systematic manner. It was our good fortune in November to entertain the State Convention, at which were present one hundred and five delegates, representing twenty-six colleges. Some of the leading Y. VV. C. A. speakers gave addresses on this occasion, and much real help was derived from every session. Throughout the year the missionary spirit has been well up to its high stand- ard, one missionary meeting having been held each month. Also a mission study class, consisting of one hundred and seventy-Hve students, has been maintained by the two associations under the instruction of Prof. Paul, much interest being manifested in the work. The practice of systematic giving for missions has been kept up throughout the year. Eight of our girls were sent as delegates to the International Student Volunteer Convention, held at Toronto, Canada, beginning February 26, and closing March 2. The Association has grown much, both in numbers and strength. Early in the year two information meetings were held that all might gain a clear knowl- edge of what the work really is and undertake it with proper spirit and an intelli- gent understanding of what it all means. Another meeting of special interest was a life work meeting led by our President. lt has been the purpose of the Association to help each girl to feel her own responsibility, to realize what a power for good she may become, if she will but direct her energies aright, and to till the soul of each girl with an ardent desire to lead an upright, sincere and consistent life.

The present member- ship is thirteen, of which number four have become members since the great Volunteer Convention held in Toronto, last February. One of the Hiram workers in China has fallen this year, Mrs. Carrie Goodrich Kelley. She gave up her noble young life at the very inception of her work. Of her it may be truly said that all who really knew her both praised and loved her for her beautiful Christly life. It is understood that Miss Adelaide G. Frost, who has already done such noble work in India, will return this fall. The band is composed of those who propose to preach Christ where He is not known. They meet weekly in quiet, blessed fellowship. The purpose of these meeting is to strengthen the God-given purpose, to assist in the special prepara- tion of the volunteer during the student days 5 to have fellowship in prayer, thought and labor, and to emphasize before the student body the great opportunities for life service in the world-wide lields.

Its pri- Z1 mary object was to study the lives of the great composers and to l cultivate more extensively a taste for classical music. When. organized it.was somewhat doubtful if Hiram could sup- 4 port a society of this kind, but after the first successful year, it has E been proven beyond a doubt that Hiram can and will give her support guwmrg to any musical function which this society may undertake. Though our membership has not been quite as large as last year, we trust our work has been as strong. We lost many faithful mem- bers last June, but new ,ones have come to us who, though not so strong because unacquainted with the work, yet have filled the places admirably and brought new enthusiasm with them. The programmes this year have been intensely interesting and very instructive. Each programme was devoted entirely to one composer, his life, his work, and the effect of his work in the musical world. Those studied have been Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven and several of the late composers. A prominent feature of the programmes this year has been the extemporaneous work both in speeches and musical numbers. Un February 21, a colonial' reception was given to the Faculty, friends and members of Musical Art. The noted visitors present were George and Martha Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, Andrew jackson and wife, and Major Cus- tiss and sister. We could almost imagine ourselves transported back to the colonial days as we watched these guests move gracefully through the figures of the stately minuet. Since the completion of the Observatory, the old Library room has been given up entirely to the use of the Musical Art Society, both for regular meet- ings and receptions. Though this is only our second year of life, we feel the work already done has been of great value to us, and that we have started upon a course needful to all music students. We hope the work may continue and grow stronger each year until it is recognized as one of the necessities in the musical life of Hiram. H1s'roR1AN. fi 5-f RQQ X HES? f sg?

'fi rlltfastfil 'Q rib History of the Hoosier Club. gsm URING this year the spirit of fraternity among the students from the Hoosier State has been even more marked than in previous years. Last year a re-organization of the old Hoosier Club, under the same title, was effected, and a closer bond of union was forged than had ever before been known. At the beginning of the year our ranks were even stronger than before, for though we had lost many of our members, their places were filled by new students, who were gladly received into the fold. For we Hoosiers are proud of our State, of its industries, of the men it has furnished the world, of its progress, and of the people who have made that marvelous progress possible. On the evening of Tuesday, March 11, we met with our compatriot, Rev. G. L. Wharton ,and spent a most enjoyable evening. We were not all Hoosiers, for a numbers of barbarians were admitted, who ate sugar with us and were interested listeners to Prof. Snoddy's tales of the Land of J. W. Riley. It was a pleasant evening, for we talked of Indiana scenes, and our thoughts turned back to the Banks of Deer Creek and The Qld Swimmin' Holey' on the Banks of the Wabash. And when the evening was far spent we departed, our minds dwelling with tender recollections on the Qld Folks at Home. 4 HISTORI.AN. 99 iram OIIQQQA CWGIICQ. VOLUME XII HIRAM.

Home Memories And now comes April's perfect day, With a thousand dazzling charms, While o'er me stands a smiling sage, And with his rigid, out-stretched arms The mid-day heat he doth assuage, And softly moved by balmy breeze The lulling rustle of his leaves Doth bear my weary soul away. Forty winters thou didst groan Against the howling frosty air, And forty summers thou hast smiled Without a thought of past despair, And like a tender, harmless child VVhen clasped in love to mother's breast Thou thinkest not of present rest Nor dost thou yearn thy doom unknown. Why, ah why dost thou not long To ride the waves of ocean deep, Or dwell in halls of mansions grand? Why dost thou so silent keep And in the lonesome country stand? While in thy strength and perfect health Thou couldst live in fame and wealth Amid the joy of city throng. As I recline on common green In thy shade, O aged oak, And gaze into thy trembling bowers Where weary crows so often croak, I sadly dream of lonely hours Of earnest, hard, unyielding toil Upon a rough, uncultured soil While Natureis wealth was passed unseen. Ah, roving souls to love unknown, Who walk the streets in midnight shades And paint untruths in angry red, Who creep and sneak in mute parades While honest men are snug in bed, Ah, thou fiend of Satan's art, With smiling face and frowning heart, Canst thou not hear thy mother's groan? There she sits so sad and lone And o'er her broods a gloomy shade And on those cheeks where rose once blushed, Drooping lilies slowly fade, And those sweet songs of joy are hushed By trembling sighs of deep despair. VVho disregards a mother's care Does not deserve a mother's love. E. G. CAMPBELL. IOO A , . i n . A i W f r wi i Y ' w I I 5 I 1 M I w ,-..J I-IIRAM COLLEGE BULLETI .

NUMBER TWO Young People Are you going away to school during the winter term? Have you decided as to where you will go?

This is a great advantage that you should not overlook. Special Departments. Hiram has the following special departments: Ora- torical, Music, Commer- cial and Art.

J ONE, and perhaps too soon forgotten, the Hiram College Bulletin is one of the things that were, but are not. Gone, and there is nothing to iill the place made vacant by its demise, nothing like it to send to ten thousand prospective students two years free of charge. Its mission was all its own, and no distribution of catalogues in which a few of Hiram's peculiar ad- vantages are set forth, can supply the want met so ably by the Bulletin. Seven years was the span of the Bulletin's useful life. It was never conceited, it never attached undue importance to itself, it always attended strictly to business and did its duty. During its whole career it was constantly true to its high and lofty purpose, the advertising of Hiram College far and wide. In so doing it entered a multitude of homes whence came the universal verdict, Not very big, but it doesn't cost anything, and it is very nice of Hiram College to send it. Unlike many journalistic enterprises, the Bulletin was never in financial difficulties. It lived and thrived upon its revenue from advertising and an appropriation by the trustees. This noble, self-sacrificing sheet might still be in existence, accomplish- ing its admirable purpose, had it not been foully assassinated by a ruling of the Postofiice Department. It departed from life with the issue of November I, and joined the company of defunct Hiram institutions that have preceded it to the land of Oblivion. But unlike some of these wandering shades it bears no malice toward the institution' it loved so well, because of the manner of its taking off, and no one can ever accuse it of participating in the wild revels in which some of the others indulge. Meanwhile, Uncle Bill, whose son john used to receive it, singu- larly wonders what is the matter with Hiram College. IO2 P The Catalogue.. Old catalogue, we know you, we've learned you most by heart, You might be worse, and gladly we'll admit that at the start. To tell the truth, it seems to us, that you might be improved, And afer many changes you,d be worthy to be loved. But of these changes many we can only mention few, And they will just be starters, there'll be plenty yet to do. Those cuts so poor and frightful opposite your title page, They don't do Hiram justice, and they're venerable with age. Get something new, attractive, put the old ones on the shelf, And when you shall have done it you'll be greatly pleased yourself There is some information which to us you freely give, As to discipline, location, and what it costs to live. Witli advantages peculiar you occupy much space, And to rules and regulations you give a great big place. And these are ever just the same, the same year in, year out, Some of them should be re-written, and some should be cut out. And if those who have charge of you shall do the proper thing, You will be what you ought to be, and we your praise will sing. A Page from the Hand Book. Brekekekexl Koax! Koaxl Brekekekex! Koax!

There is scarcely an incident of your college career that has not in some way been connected with the dear old campusg from the day you first entered school, an unknown Fresh- man, and walked with trembling hesitancy along its gravel path on your way to the enrollment building, until the last day, when clad in cap and gown, you took your last stro-ll beneath its shady trees in company with your Senior brothers and sisters. You will never forget those glorious Autumn days when Nature had touched, with her invisible brush, every separate leaf on those wide spreading trees and had tinted each one with a distinct shade of its own, varying from a pale yellow to a dark, rich crimson. You can see the leaves as they one by one loosen their hold on the mother branch and fall slowly and idly to their grassy bed below, forming a soft and gorgeous carpet over the earth which is now becoming brown and faded. You can almost hear the rustle of the leaves as you walked aimlessly through them and gave yourself up to the sad and melancholy thoughts which Autumn days always bring. It was just about that time that you were playing your last game of tennis of the season in the farther corner of the campus and were searching among the crisp leaves for the missing balls. But then came the cold piercing winds of November. You no longer strolled leisurely across the campus through the leaves, but hurried along in haste to reach your warm room. You will not forget that morning when you looked out of your window and saw the campus covered with its first coat of snow. You sighed to think that the last vestiges of Autumn were hidden from sight, but, at the same time, you were charmed and delighted whentyou viewed the landscape before you. Every branch and bough seemed covered with sparkling diamonds and was bending under its precious load. Now, once more, you love to linger on the college paths, to roll the soft white snow into neat little balls, and to throw them slyly at some unsuspecting friend, or to run across some unbroken corner, leav- ing awkward tracks in the smooth bed of whiteness. But oh! those slippery 107 winter days, you will never forget them, those days when every path, formerly so rough and uneven is covered with a very mirror of ice and you have to start early to class in order to have time to slip back two steps for every forward step you take. It seemed such a long time that you had to wade across the campus knee-deep in snow, but at last Spring came and with it new beauties for the college grounds. The grass once more is green. Dainty crocus blossoms begin to show their delicate shades of purple, yellow and white, and you stoop to pick the tiny Flowers on your way to class-dear little forerunners of Summer, so full of hope and promise. Every tree takes on again its wealth of foliage. Maple, elm and birch are beautiful once more ,and you love to rest in their shade and pick great hand- fuls of purple violets, those lovely violets, with their long stems and modest, drooping heads, growing in such rich profusion and of such a deep purple hue that the old campus seems to have donned a robe of royalty. Dear old Campus! beautiful alike in Autumn, Winter and Spring time, we would hail thee as our friend. We have been with thee so many hours. Thou hast witnessed our victories and our defeatsg thou hast been the scene of our joys and the asylum of our sorrows. Dearer than college halls, sweeter in memory than any other college haunts, we would offer thee our tribute of love. And when years shall have passed and we are free from thee ,thou wilt linger still in our memory and a message of peace and rest will be waited to us from across the campus. 'R X ' AJ ff ., 1o8 Him and Me. D wif? NVE IM and me's ben pullin' together now fur nigh onto twenty-tive year, 5 g and in all that time we haint never had no balking spells TO speak of, though we 'aint no more alike than if 'twant us. I s'pose both of us ::::11--fffzr has ben a trifle queer at times, only he's ben more so of'ner'n I hev. ' Our two children is growed up, Torn's workin' in the village and Bell's off to college. Q One afternoon in the early winter he come in from the barn and LJ sez to me, Say, there 'aint no work now that's crowdin', let's take a day or two off and go to college, s'prise Bell, make her a little visit wtf and see how them there high bloods is runnin' things ennywayf' JXX All right, I sez, seein's we've never ben no place much, mebby it'd be good for us both and give us a sort o' rest. , So we begun to prepare to get ready to go. I had some mendin' and fixin' to do. He spent all his time brushin' up his int'lect. Une afternoon he went over to the neighbors' to get their hired man to teach him some Dutch, so that he could peer classick he said. I don't know what kind of sickness that is, but I think he was a dunce to go after any ailment, and I told him so. Well, 1'in'ly the time come when we wuz to start. We rode half a day on the steam cars, then mounted into a street car and went about twenty mile to a purty- out-the-way-like town. When we got there and arove, we alighted our two selves out of the car and looked fur the deepo, but didn't see non. There wuz a lot o' fellers standin' round. They all had on striped woolen shirts and looked like reg'ler farm hands just out of the reformitory. Simultaneously to onst they all be- gun hollerin' bout breakin' suthen' er other. Land sakes I sez I to him, I'm feard o' gettin' my neck broke in all this crowd. just then we heard them say, co boss, co boss, and we concluded they had charge o' the dairy that furnished milk to the institootion, so our fears calmed down and subsided away. Later we learned that some o' the tellers wuz goin' off to play with a basket o' balls. Wfhen the hollerin' stopped he went up to one of the respectablest looking chaps, who had his mother's scrap bag on his head 'stead of a hat, and sez, Can you tell me where the ladies' dromedary is? My gal's stayin' there, and we've come to see her. The feller pulled oft his scrap bag, bowed uncommon nice. and with a smile playin' over his liniments, sez, That big brick buildin' up there on the hill is the place you are lookin' fur. We walked up to the dromedary, rung the bell, and asked for our gal. The lady o' the house didn't know where she wuz, but a gal standin' by sez, she's gone fur a perch. I-Ie was orful glad, for he's extra fond of iish, and sez, I hope she'll get one. I-Ias she gone fur P I don't know, she sez, sometimes they log go fur, and sometimes not so fur. Well, sez he, I just wish I knowed where she'd gone, fur I'm mighty sartin I could help her catch the best perch there is, though the weather is a little cold, and we might have to break the ice. The landlady looked at him an' sez, I think she'll do better alone fur the ice is al- ready brokenf' We knowed that was meant fur a compliment to Bell's smart- ness, so he sez donke Cthat one o' them Dutch words he learnedj and we went right to her room to wait till she'd come. It was most supper time when she returned and got back. She was orful s'prised, and glad we'd come. He sez to her, Where did you leave that perch you caught P She blushed and looked sort o' funny an' sez, Cn the front steps. Well, sez he, I'll take my knife an' go right out an' dress it an' your ma'll cook it fur us. But when he got to the steps there wuz a lot o' them dairy hands standin' round an' the fish wuz gone. He come back an' told her not to feel bad bout losing the thing fur he'd help her git another some day. It was soon supper time, and we went out to the big dinin' chamber, We wuz oncommon hungry. And the only warm thing we had to eat wuz beans. And I can tell you, they wa'nt like we hev to hum, but wuz them dry fellers that you have to chase round your plate half a dozen times before you can tire 'em out an' catch 'em. I looked at him an' wuz horrified to see him takin' off his coat right there 'mong all them people. What be you going to do ? sez I. I'm goin' to take off my coat so I can catch them beans, sez he. CI-Ie -was sweatin' as if he'd done a day's work.j Don't you do it, sez I, mortitied as I could be. So he kep his coat on an' set a piece of bread up on edge on the side o' his plate to stop those critters when they wuz goin' round. One of them young fellers asked me if I like maynaise dressing on beans. I told him I'd never met Miss Naise and didn't know nothin' bout her dressing, but if he could get me the receipt I'd try some when I went hum an' let him know. After supper we went back to Bell's room. Early in the evenin' some com- pany come, but after 'while we wuz alone, and as we wuz dreadful weary, we retired an' went to bed in good season. Bell went up stairs to stay. If we wuz tired we couldn't go to sleep, fur I never heard such a noise in all my born days. I should think they wuz drivin' forty flocks o' sheep and a hundred hens through the hall an' they wuz all runnin' and blatin' and cacklin' to the same time. It wuz Sat'day night an' we s'posed everybody'd be quiet studyin' their Sunday School lesson. Fin'ly, howsomever, the lights went out an' it begun to get a little quieter, we wuz most to sleep when them dairy chaps begun their hollerin' agin. Then the college bell commenced to ring an' we saw a bright light an' knowed fur sure the hull town must be on fire. We both jumped up an' dressed our two selves as soon as we could and he begun throwin' things out the window while I went to the doo-r an' screamed fur Bell. We had everything out doors, bed clothes an' all, an' wuz just going to carry em off out o' danger when she come runnin' into the room an 'told us to be calm fur wasn't nuthin' up only this place had beat some other place playing ball. We just sithed and said nothin'. It seemed so 'twas purty nigh mornin' when we got our beds fixed up again and laid ourselves down to rest, an' 'twuzn't long nuther, fore they begun rattlin' some kind of a heating machine down under us. We'd both lost all our patiences, so we got up, and stayed up. VVe thought if We'd gone to bed on a hornet's nest an' had cannon an' fire-crackers shot off round us all night and two cat lights throwed in we couldn't hev ben much tireder. IIO After waitin' a long time the breakfast bell rung an' we went to the dinin' chamber again. We wuzn't hungry none an' they didn't hev much to eat enny way, so we didn't' remain an' stay there long. After we went back to the room, he set down by the Window and seemed in deep profound thought. Bymby he sez, Fd set my heart on goin' to meetin today an' speechifyin' to those folks and tellin' 'em how they 'aint running things at all proper an' right, but college life don't agree with me, an' Fm clean tired out an' want to go hum. That P. M. in the afternoon We packed our belongin's and returned back to our own Hreside. We come to the conclusion that We wuz too old to go on towers and had better remain to hum after this and let the yung folks do the minglin' Easter day. f-VS I o.::: p X 'QI' 'NQQQQZ if x n V 9 ,NX L45 ' 'tf'g?if'+-fl Friendship. 994 Fast fetter bound in thrall of ice and snow, The early blossoms of the struggling year Lie prison'd deep in dungeons dark and drear.

Something that happened when I was your age, you say? VVell, let's see, it is well nigh fifty years since that day. I-Iow time does pass by! I-Iave I ever told you of the happiest day of my life? It was an Easter Sunday. It's queer how well I do re- member everything that happened then. I was just a young fellow, somewhere about twenty-one years old. When I think of it now I can almost feel the fresh, warm blood of youth coursing through this old stiff body, and I can feel the same sweet thrill of joy that I felt that day as I sat in the old church. 'Twas not that the church was grand or elegant. 'Twas not the sermon, for I have long since forgotten every word of that. But, oh, the flowers! I shall never forget them, for some way they seem to have become a very part of my awakening. It was a beautiful Easter Day. The sun shone brightly through the windows of the old church until it Hooded the darkest corners with gleaming golden strands of light and threw around the old-fashioned pulpit such a Hood of glory that it seemed transformed into a heavently altar. A sweet and delicateodor of Easter lilies filled the room and seemed to bring a sense of peace and quiet which penetrated my very being. But sweeter than the memory of sunshine and sweeter than the memory of lilies there comes to me now the picture of a face-a face that was fair and young even as yours is today, my dear. She was standing up by the old organ and she looked like an angel that day in her simple gown of white, with her soft dark hair falling in waves around her face. Her large soulful eyes were raised in devotion as she sang the sweet Easter song: 'tHe is risen! He is risen! Let the whole wide earth rejoice. II2 The tones were rich and full, and as I listened I felt a new life awakening within me: a life I had never known before. The sweet, sweet scent of the lilies, the song, and all, had carried me back to my boyhood days when I first knew Elenora Gray. We had been playmates together as children, until that day when I left the old home town. I remem- bered her tears at the parting, and her promise that she would be my little sweet- heart. Had she forgotten all these years? I gazed in rapture at her pure angel- like face until it seemed as though she were singing to me alone- Let the whole wide earth rejoicef' Yes, I did rejoice, and when the song was finished and all had left the dear old church except the singer and me, I stood again beside my Elenora and heard her speak once more the promise of childhood days. And as we left the church together the breath of the Easter lilies was waftecl by the Spring breezes and seemed to hover around us like a sweet benediction. But you know the rest of the story, my dear. You know how Elenora was the sweet spirit that brightened my home for fifty long years until on another Easter day her soul took its flight and left me here alone. You know the little green mound on the hillside beneath the old pine tree: my Easter gift lies there, and every year when the Springtime comes I plant on her grave the Easter lilies, and when the wind blows gently over them I love to think that their sweet per- fume will bear to Elenora in heaven a message of love from this old heart of mine. And I pray when itls my time to go I may meet my sweetheart once more on Easter day. r V ' -' ve 1 :1 - Hg I' - M 7 Fesisfwtflwm G5'gi5:Sf5?Q.E:1ia-r:24 ' X 3 ' 'fix , , . f . ?:.5ap.3c:1-4 .A fa554-f-:ffmg5.3,.tvg::,-sv 'Q' V--- . 1 .uf ., : ,-O' ids: 1:.r-:gaz'-f:-- -5-Ia 1 ik .-Q- ' G, - 'Vp f ,r F ' xv f . - ' . .gflzivtca Q ' ' .6 5, I f -f r fc f, 9.

Mesa IRAM is the home of beauty. Here Nature very plainly reveals her power of mighty uplift in all of her surroundings. The knowledge gained by years of honest effort may slip away like shifting sands, but the impress of these storied haunts will bide like letters carved in marble. For to him who understands there is a vision all year long of loveliness that is as truly part of the life as books and lessons can ever be. The vision begins when the student comes back to take up the work of the year. At that time the summer glow is just fading into autumn's gold: 'Tis then the gathered harvests feel the sting Cf frosty nights, and bircls take southern wing, 'Tis when the sunshine glimmers all day long, Wlieii shadows flee, and toiling hearts grow strong, The cricket gaily sings his merry song. 'Tis when the gay-gowned leaf falls gently down, And dreary grave claims all of beauty's crown, 'Tis when the wind moans hoarsely through the trees, When brooding sounds are borne by every breeze, The cricket's plaintive song wafts o'er the leas. 'Tis when the first stray snow-flakes wildly Hy, And storm-dark clouds like ghost-forms haunt the sky 5 'Tis when stern winter breathes his icy chill, Wlieii mantles white are spread from hill to hill, The cricket's cheering song, in death, grows still. The vision yet remains undimmed when, lessons finished for a while, the student makes his winter pilgrimage to the shrine of home's affection, and returns. Winter's thrall of ice and snow is over all: Wliere, twining 'round the gaunt old oak, The summer vine clung smiling, fair, Wliere low-blown winds their wooing spoke To beauty forms, so bright and rare, Are white-winged snow-birds resting everywhere. Wliere, gladly from their hidden urns, The rushing fountains poured their tide, Wliere morning sun, in splendor, burns, And clouded sinks at eventide, Hushed solitude's fair, frozen charms abide. O'er graves of sum1ner's happy forms, Deep lies the dazzling, crystal snowy Wliile raging voice of bitter storms ' Is sadly sobbing, soft and low, And beauty reigns, as shadows come and go.

QS-vw Wed O 111152:-5.93 The vision still remains when winter dies away with its cold. N'Vhen paths wear through the snow, and the bare earth shows its form. It seems the pleasant days will never come, but yet- High on the hills, the tocsin rings, That tells of winter's closing reign, The south wind bears the glad refrain, From lands where sunshine vernal springs. High on the hills, the spring-time gleams, Life's mystic power breaks forth in song, The days of loveliness grow long, And beauty revels in her dreams. High on the hills, the fountains play Amid the modest flowers that grow In answer to the sunshine's glow, And life and love light up the day. The days pass on. Along the brooks, the violet and buttercup have bloomed. The windliower and the cranesbill have perished long ago. The last days have passed with their vision splendid. Some have gone from out the college halls forever-friends that we have known. And softly, like a mother's voice in dreams, there steals through our minds this after-thought: The morning glow of life's long way Gleams in my restless heart to-day, Life swells within my struggling breast That fain would reach life's mountain crest. The summer's glow, and toiling strife, Will steal across my growing lifeg The flowers of youth will quickly fade, And visions dimmed will fail to aid. The winter's cold, and drifted snow, Will chill the hands that aged growg . Time's blasts will tear the friends away, And, may be, clouds will close the day. Yet, let me raise my thankful song For vision grand, and uplift strong, And may they bide forever dear, The beauty spots that I've loved here. 116 I 05:1 his Exten?

Our class neatly clad in caps and gowns lent dignity to the occasion. The oratrrs distinguished themselves, having been a source of pride to E -: Q their friends and an honor to their college. The closing entertain- q ment of the year has been creditably presented. The last strains of sweet music softly die away as, slowly and alone under the shining had canopy of Heaven, I return to my room where a condition of con- QEQQDJZN fusion and disorder reigns supreme. F655 I have been in the dear old college town nearly five years, and now I must leave it forever. My few possessions are packed and at the dawn of the coming day I must mal-ce my departure. Wearily I throw myself into the nearest chair, which happens to be by the open window, put my feet upon the table, as I have so often done before, and fall into deep meditation, a thing which I have rarely, almost never, done before. During all my college course I have been a rather close studentg my lessons have been well learned, outside affairs have troubled me little, as but a small part of my time has been given to them. As a student I have been what might be called a success. Yet, on this, the 'evening of my graduation day, I am over- whelmed by the idea of going out upon the great thoroughfare of life to battle alone and to iight my way to that coveted goal, the attainment of which is the ambition of every true man. So far I have lived in the realm of ideals but that must now be left behind as stern reality beckons me on. The soft and plaintive notes of a whip-poor-will are borne to me from a secluded dell, the gentle breeze fans my troubled brow, and soon, wrapped in the close embrace of sleep, dreamland claims me as its own, in whose mysterious realm I, accompanied by my classmates, appear on a broad and crowded thor- II7 oughfare. All is hurry and confusion, each one seems to be possessed of but one desire, and that to reach, ere darkness falls, the farther side of the thronged way, where is the entrance to a prosperous and successful career. Every one must rely upon himself and fight his own way as he is jostled about by the unfeeling crowd. Only those who have had the best equipment for life's struggle can hope to reach the longed-for goal. A feeling of utter despair creeps over me and, leaning wearily against the pillar of a large building, I watch the crowd, wondering if I, loaded with Greek and Latin verbs, Hebrew Syntax and some mysteries of differential Calculus, can ever force my way through that surging throng. At my right a few of my classmates, joined by some others, are busy endeavoring to devise some scheme by which they may win an easy passage, and with but feeble efforts claim success as their own. After a few moments' consultation they part and rush into the crowd, where for a time fortune seems to attend them, making their passage rapid. Wlieii, however, approaching the farther side and exulting in the victory apparently so near, they suddenly encounter an obstacle, for they come to a station where all trickery and deceit must be laid aside and true worth alone can act as pilot. Here their strength deserts them, they are grasped by an unseen hand and forced beneath the surging multitude, their places being given to those more worthy. It seems indeed a very difficult task to avoid all obstacles and press steadily forward, giving no heed to those who make it their sole business to lead the unwary from the chosen way. Suddenly my attention is fastened upon one young man of noble promise who started well in the struggle and it seemed that victory must be his. Yet now he is seen wavering in the midst of the course as if about to fall and be crushed beneath the throng. All at once there appears before him a bright angel girl who whispers gently to him and guides him safely to the other side. Now all changes to wilder confusion for it grows dark. Some of my class- mates have reached success, not merely those endowed with highest scholarship, but those with broadest mind, noblest character, and blessed with the rare gift of good common sense and sound judgment. The darkness grows deep, silence settles over all, I shudder because of dreariness and terrible loneliness, I call to my companions, but no one answers. Then, exerting my utmost effort to escape, I awake and am still sitting by my open window. A deep silence pervades all, the moonbeams stretch across the table falling upon a picture and lighting up the features of the noblest woman I have ever known-my mother. Her sweet and loving smile arouses in me a thousand tender memories, and I resolve then and there never to do one thing to cast a shadow across that saintly countenance. I arise, prepare myself for bed, pour out my heart in grateful thanks to God for the vision of life that He has permitted me to see, asking Him to help me to go IIS forth with a manly and courageous heart, to meet the duties which lie before me Then I throw myself across the bed to sleep until the dawn of day when I must start out in earnest to tread my way across life's wide thoroughfare with a fixed purpose and a determination to reach success before darkness shall overtake me and forever obscure the path.

Now, neither one had any desire to consult the wisdom of this region of Hiram, but, from force of habit acquired in the year preceding the date at which my story opens, they walked in the footprints of other worthies in the sands of the library walk and, in due season, reached their destination. They were happy. They J were planning the year-the receptions, the basket-ball games, the Eu-UU-Ufnfg Dingle Dell wBalks,1and, yvelhdseyeilal other tlcilings which isis needless to mention. ut a as. t ey ri te upon a an erous su ject. W VVhere are you going to room this year ?'g Bow1er, answered Jill. Why'? More elevated. Wliere are you going to board ? Miller,', answered Jack. 'WVhy don't you come to Bowler P 'fOh, its too 'stuck up' for me. Sorry for you, replied jill cooly. Well, I suppose We can eliminate this factor of the conversation, said Jack. ,Till felt, with deep regret that the meals would be choking ordeals the whole year under these cir- cumstances. Both decided that justice demanded that they receive a reduction on the price of their board, but, as they did not care to explain the reason for their small appetites, they did not succeed in this worthy enterprise. The days flew rapidly by. jack Sophomore and Jill Freshman were bending over the same book in the Library. Both wore faces covered with ideal expressions seen only upon those persons living in the halcyon period of their lives when ideas are clothed in purple and gold. Jack Sophomore looked up and saw Roderick Freshman approaching and, under his breath he whispered, The serpent must enter our Eden. By this time Roderick had approached within hearing distance of the two. He paused a moment and scraped his foot to give warning of his approach. jack by force of necessity smiled as approval of his advance. After preliminary remarks suitable to the occasion, Mr. Freshman announced to Jill that there would be a class meeting in ten minutes and asked her to accompany him. Tears of regret intrusively swelled in Iill's eyes, but she bowed to fate and departed. Before she reached the door she observed that she had passed three Sophomore girls. If she could have left jack alone the sadness would have been reduced to a minimum, but, under the existing circumstances, there was a possi- bility of its progressing to infinity. Time passed, Jack and jill were leaning over the railing of the gymnasium gallery. Everybody was yelling his favorite little rhyme. But alas, our two friends were on opposite sides of the building, and were not giving the same yells. After the game was over they both attended a reception-but not together. The earth had revolved around the sun once again and Jack junior and Jill Sophomore were sitting under a graceful elm on the beloved campus. A year had changed them but slightly. Perhaps it had given each a trifle more dignity and self- possession. For days the all-absorbing topic of conversation had been the Ora- torical Contest, which was a new feature of Hiramis life. lt was two months before I22 the important event, but invitations were being given and accepted for the banquets. With some hesitation I-Iesper Jack junior asked jill to accompany him. A careful observer might have noted the knitted brow and twitching nerves which told of the struggle within. Then sadly she shook her head and with mournful tones replied, You must excuse me, I cannot go to that banquet. The two walked silently home together and for the remainder of the afternoon studied hard with five hundred yards of space looming up between them. Delphic jill Sophomore went to the Contest with a fellow she did not particularly admire and smiled and chatted and, to a casual observer, had a pleasant time. She glanced slyly across the audi- torium at Jack and his lovely companion and thought, I do want Jack to be happy even if my heart is brealcingf' Wfhen jack bade his companion good night he assured her that he had had a very delightful time and she thought he meant it. Two whole years with their revolving months had slipped away and Jill was standing before an admiring audience delivering her commencement oration. Not by any means the least admirer was Jack, who had returned to see his friend graduate. The commencement gymnastics were over, but jill must practice in the morning for the Alethean play. After the play they walked home together. There were so many subjects that they must avoid. They could not talk of class, of society, of hall, there was only thing to talk about, and-well-they talked about that. l'Shall we go the long way ? said Jack. XVith pleasure, replied jill. But consider well before you answer. I will take it to mean that you will walk the long way of life with me. The moon light shone upon one of the saddest of faces, but there was a determined look upon it, such as Tennyson might have imagined upon the face of the one who said, Is it well that I should cherish that which bears but bitter fruit? I will pluck it from my bosom though my heart be at the rootf, The answer came slowly, K'W'e will go the short way home. Wliy, said Jack eagerly, isn't our love mutual ? That may be, replied Jill, as she brushed away silvery tears from her cheek, 'Lbut you know when people marry they must be one, and how two persons with such dissimilar sympathies can be one is a prob- lem which cannot be solved even approximately. The rest of the journey was made in silence, and when they reached the door jack said, Is this the Final answer ? and jill murmured yesf' And so it was that Delphic Alethean Jill Bowler and Hesperian O. B. jack Miller walked the long way, not together-but alone. 1- , fx ',. d y, xW fhf m QA fs- - ,,:E'155i7'v, fur vi f if - g ':,-'52 -a'Qsv.-!JgsEJ'N:'- J f .

'gf' When star crowned night, queen of shadows, Held sway over land and sea, When the weary world was sleeping, Came a dream of joy to me. 'Twas not a vision of beauty, Nor a palace large and grand, Nor was it of gold, nor of honors, Generous gift from fortune's hand. But it was a dream of Hiram, Of the happy college days, Of the lovely little village With its quiet and peaceful ways. Once more did I see the ivy The south walls clambering o'erg I entered those halls a student As I was in the days of yore. Then my college friends and classmates, Once more, I greeted them all, Time's hand had wrought no changes there In the old society hall. Again I trod the old pathways, And sat 'neath the apple-tree, Once more the shady streams I viewed, Murmuring waters sang to me. All too soon the vision vanished, Nothing was it but a dream, But at times 'tis better for us That the past should the present seem. I I I alll a ' A b ' mf- f?

The tide of 3 Time has borne down the ages the names of statesmen and patriots, 4: generals and diplomats who have come forth and saved their country 'HINRVV from great impending calamities. But few there are, who as cham- D666 pions of moral or political reforms, have braved the stinging jeers of r l 0 4 0 M P 'r cruel public sentiment, faced armies of opposing forces and gained the 'I 1 if ' Before the Diet of Worms Martin Luther stood amid a tempest lr 'a l victory for principle. MQ of jeers and insults, defying the mandates of papal authority and emblazoned his name on the banner of religious reform. With the love of liberty burning in his heart's blood, a Virginian . hero led his little band of half-starved patriots across the Delaware, through the terrors of Valley Forge, on to Yorktown, and identified himself with the cause of popular freedom. But Justice slumbered still. Breaking the chains which bound them to tryanny and oppression, the American people reforged the shattered links upon the limbs of the negro. Professing to love liberty, we were the most cruel of all oppressors. The Declaration of Independence was a lie, Haunting its falsehood in the face of the nations. There was no justice. Where her temple should have been erected stood the slave-pen and whipping post. Instead of songs of praise, groans of miseryg instead of light, chaotic darkness. The nineteenth century required a deliverer. VVhere is Moses, the Egyptian bondman, the God-guided emancipator? Where is Garabaldi, the dashing leader of the hot-headed Italian insurgents? Where is L'Ouverture, the splendid cham- pion of the West Indian slave? But Moses was himself an Israelite, and the people he delivered were his own. Garabaldi was an Italian, and every heart throb was for his countrymen. I.fOuverture was a negro, and the blow he struck, which established the free state of San Domingo, was for his enslaved brethren. But a man was being prepared whose mission was to free an alien race-a people not his own. It was the hand of God guiding the affairs of men. Beyond the majestic Ohio, from the sun-kissed slopes of the Blue-grass region, there came a child, Born as lowly as the Son of God, of what ancestry I24 I know not and care notg reared in penury, without one ray of light or fair sur- rounding, without name or fame or ofhcial training, it was reserved for this strong being, late in life, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supreme moment, and entrusted with the destiny of a nation. A dirt-floor cabin his early home, with poverty his only companion, nature his only school, justice his only motto, he defied the accidents of birth and station and carved his name at the head of earth's emancipators. If I were to relate to the world the story of a hero, I would select this man, invincible, incorruptible. XIVC see him in Indiana, the rail-splitter, learning the lessons of life in the school of hard necessity, an ardent admirer of Clay, a staunch Wliig, but no Aboli- tionist. Behold him in New Orleans at a slave auction. For the first time he comes into close contact with the accursed institution of slavery. The luke-warm Wliig in that day, became the zealous Abolitionist. The seed was sown, which, nourished by the best blood of thousands of heroes, germinated, and blossomed into the splendid Emancipation Proclamation. The hand of God was guiding the American Republic. Again he appears in Illinois, a struggling lawyer. I-Ionest always, never re- sorting to tricks to influence judge or jury, but conceding points and losing cases rather than compromise his honor. Now he is the modest legislator, always found in his place, ever observant and careful of all that is for the best interests of his constituents. Abused, misunderstood, cursed, railed at and jeered, with the hand of love he plucked the poisoned shaft from the bosom of hate, and his enemies became his worshipers. Witli malice toward none and charity for all, honor was his reward, while a just posterity has vindicated every word and act which incurred the bitter criticism of his mistaken contemporaries. The period of preparation was nearly completed. Far on the distant horizon were seen the first signs of that approaching day, fore-ordained by God, on which justice, trampled and outlawed, should assert her sacred rights and prove her proud superiority over Treason and Disunion. The North, for twenty-five years subservient to Southern dictation, had awakened. Rousing from her slumber, astonished, dismayed, she marshalled her forces for the coming assault. Quickly it came. Blow followed blow with lightning rapidity. The South, realizing that the decisive hour had arrived, advanced to the affray. She claimed the rich hands acquired by the Mexican War and began to weld her chains 5 but the North spoke, and the 'Wilmot Proviso dispelled the bright- ening hope. Driven back upon the free territory of the West, through her agents and emissaries in the Legislative I-Ialls, she passed the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. She treacherously misconstrued the very Constitution, and forced the Dred Scott deci- sion upon the bewildered nation. ' Now was she satisfied? Did she pause and allow the Northern heart to cool? Drunk with success, she advanced again g and with a boldness gained by unavenged insults, cast the Fugitive Slave Law in the face of the people. 125 The nation was waiting its Garabaldi 5 the slave his Moses. The Savior was prepared. Inspired with a I-Ieaven-sent mission, he had not been idle. Did Savona- rola falter when a dying Italy called his name? Did Leon Gambetta fail when a shattered France lay at his feet? On the distant prairies of Illinois, this man was ready. Controlled by events, not controlling them, he once had said, and his enemies had sneered weakling, but you, who love him, know that God controls events, and that this man was his child. Fresh from the Halls of Congress, the brilliant and eloquent Douglass, flushed with his victory over the giants of the Senate, appeared to vindicate the position he had taken in regard to the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. This man came forth to answer him. It was a momentous occasion. Unknown outside of his own state, he became the champion of Abolition in the West. The man, who could logically defeat the splendid Douglas in debate was not to be ignored. I-Ie came forth clad in the armor? of Truth with the flaming sword of justice in his hand. Une man, yet a free people was to deify his nameg one man, yet his fame should go ringing down the ages, one man, untaught and unlearned, yet the wisdom of three centuries was to do his homage. The East, the brilliant and refined center of culture, had asked, Can any good come out of the West ? As Nathaniel of old has questioned, so had New York, and the answer in both cases came with examples. I-Ie stood within the crowded hall of Cooper Institute, majestic in the midst of the splendor which surrounded him. I-Ie felt the power throbbing in his brain and hearty it Hashed from his eyeg it gave dignity to that rough formg it endowed his voice with a fiery eloquence, which clinched the startling truths he thundered forth, and a touching pathos, which drew tears from the eyes of those who had come to ridicule. They saw in this man a statesman and patriotg and three months after when he won the Presi- dential nomination ovei' their favorite son, they gave him their undivided support. The East had acknowledged the West and they stood shoulder to shoulder to oppose the extension of salvery. It is needless to follow this man step by step through the honors of four years of wild war. Picture the care-worn face, seamed by lines of sorrowgnthat form bent beneath the weight of care and responsibility, that heart, breaking with its bitter grief. Treason, anarchy, disunion, abroad and at home, the burden of three centuries laid upon those shoulders, the destiny of a race placed within that hand g the fate of civilization entrusted to his care. 'lVVhere did Shakespeare get his genius? Where did Mozart get his music? VVhose hand struck the lyre of the Scottish plow-man, or stayed the life of the German Priest? God, God and God alone. And as surely as God sustained them, so surely did I-Ie sustain this man in that hour. 126 The Emancipation Proclamation had been issued at an auspicious time by the unerring judgment of the President. The preservation of the Union was declared to be more important than the perpetuation of slavery. The mainstay of the South was removed-the end was approaching. More battles, more blood, more tears, more broken hearts, more desolated homes, and then-Glorious Victory. The rest is soon told: an April night calm and beautiful, the dove of peace perched uopn our victorious banner, the cannonis mouth grown coldg the Shenan- -doah peaceful after the terrible scenes it had witnessed 5 the dead quietly sleeping on the heights of Arlington. ' A crowded theatre, noble men and beautiful women, brilliant lights and fas- cinating music. All eyes turned to a box above the stage, garlanded with flowers, which had opened at the first kiss of Spring, and the silken folds of the Nationial Banner draped below. The sorrowful features of the Chief Executive softened into a smile at the plaudits of the multitude, a happy light shining in those eyes so long sad and tear dimmed. The past with its fear, its sorrow, its war, behind, the future with its hopes, its joys, its peace, before. The betrayer was approaching, but they knew it not, a stealthy foot-step was ascending that stair-way, but they heard it not, a dark form was lurking behind those heavy portiers, but they saw it not, until-a shot, a shriek, a fall 3 darkness, desolation, death. A life drama more pregnant with instruction than any originated by the brain of a Shakespeare, and ending in a tragedy more dark and horrible. But still, the only fiting consummation of a life so glorious. Having rendered the last full measure of devotion to the country he loved so well ,there could be but one end- Martyrdom. No other death would have sufficed. It was not Booth, it was not the South, it was not Slavery g it was the hand of God. And when the music had ceased, when the lights were out, when the play was over, the mourning world saw the guidance of a Supreme Intelligence, that through his death cemented anew the bonds of union, healing the wounds of fratricidal strife, and they recognized the hand of God.

T VVAS the close of an autumn day. The great golden orb of the sun preserved his sovereignty in the sky, and had it all to himself as he sank. ln the ever-increasing depth of the glow in the splendid al heavens, the glory of the Creator shone. Through the tops of the 1 trees, trembling in the light breeze of evening, the sun Hashed his l I parting rays upon the little mill-stream, turning to crimson its ripples I I eddies, which reflected the warm radiance, palpitating with a thou- sand etheral hues of soft and changeful color, transfusing all visible -,- things into a semblance of something divine. -- Here, alone, among its neighbors of the forest, who had already yielded to the advance of winter and had accepted his gorgeous mantle of russet and red, stood a great pine. Tall, straight and sombre it rose, its dark green showing in splendid contrast against the bright- ness of the surrounding foliage. At its foot, seated upon a log, was a boy, whose dress and general appearance pronounced him a farmer's lad. As he sat gazing down the course of the little stream, he seemed to be making a vain effort to de- cide something which troubled him, for his face was sad and evidently the scene possessed no charm for him. Should he stay at home, day after day, going through the same routine of toil and duty, seeing pleasure seldom or never? Should he live on in this little sphere, cut off from the world? Ch, how narrow, how insufficient it seemed to him and how void of the pleasures that make life worth the living. lrVas it not his right to go into the world and make his way upward? Here on the farm, whose bounds were the bounds of life and happiness he was no one, he saw no one save of his own class, and there was no chance of becoming anything more than he was. He was ambitious and longed for what seemed to him higher and nobler things. He was proud and was ashamed of his poor clothes. Out from the country, things must be different. Men must be happier. They did not work from sunrise to sunset. There was pleasure and excitement. To the coun- try lad, life in the city seemed a dream of an ideal existence, so free, so pleasant, so poetic, so far above the plane of life where had been cast his lot. But other thoughts, too, came to his mind. W'hat was it that told him his father was growing old, and needed his young help and strength? VVas it duty or home ties that showed him his mother, who had so fondly cared for him and whom he loved so dearly? Could he leave her and -seek the reward which the world offers and which he knew so many had already won? What was it that dimmed his eyes with tears when he thought of the old vine covered cottage, where he had spent the happy hours of his childhood, before this resistless dis- 130 satisfaction of his life came to mar his happiness? After all, would he not be happier in his home working for those who loved him? VV as the call of ambition stronger than duty? He would like to go, but he feared to make the start. In the world where the struggle for his success and hapiness would be opposed by those whose opportunities had been superior to his own would he win what he most desired, would he achieve wealth and position? Now he looks up into the tree under which he is sitting and he seems to hear something which it softly whispers to him. The pine tree, alone in the midst of the others, had drawn the nourishment from the soil and the lad sees its top rising in grandeur and stateliness far above them. As he looks up through its branches the thought comes to him that if the pine had won its way alone, why can not he do as well. He will go where he can accomplish more, and when he almost de- cided that the farm shall know him no more, the old pine whispers gentle soothing words to him. It has spoken to him often before when his secrets have been con- fided to its silent care, but never half so sweetly as now. His look reaches to where great branches have been to-rn off in storms and where the broad trunk has been scarred and scratched, and its whole being proves how rough and how weari- some has been all its life history. The old pine seems to say to the lad that in his life, too, the course will be fraught with troubles and cares, and that he will not come forth unmarked. Success he may attain, but at the expense of the true pleasure and happiness which he expects to find. Happiness far from those he loves and whom he has left for such selfish reasons will never be his. Again there comes to him the vision of the old home and his mother, and once again the ties that bind to home have proven stronger than the selfish call of ambition. As the boy rises to go the last soft mellow light of evening is fading into darkness and the old pine whispers a soft farewell. I3I ' The Sphinx d. of fig as Hiram. TFT . :I -' , 5 THOU Sphinx of Hiram, enigmatical collossus, symbolical form, gg mighty effigy towering toward the sky with thy huge body .repre- ff senting strength and thy head full of wisdom. Thou wast indeed Rs wise to leave the low vaulted past where thou wast simply a char- ' acteristic monument of a wonderful necropolis and take up thy abode in a place that stands for life instead of death. 0 standpipe of Hiram, from thy loifty eminence thou dost look down upon one of the pleasing scenes of earth. Thou dost be- hold the broad campus covered with its stately trees and containing its halls of learning. Thou dost see the busy professors and students hastening over its gravel walks on their way to the class room. Thou art indeed 'wise but thou Wilt concede the superior wisdom of those who dwell on Hiranfs classic hill, G magnanimous standpipe. Thou dost stand upon historic ground. By turning thy head slightly thou canst see the very house into which, in the early days, two men were seen to enter gayly bedecked with feathers fastened to the body with tar. Thou knowest the occasion for all this display, These two mormons were celebrating their success in winning a half dozen wives when there were many men who had not had the opportunity of being the chief participant at even one wedding. Thy position is one of wide influence, for thou canst send messages by the rain drops that trickle down thy face to the Gulf of Mexico, and by those that run down thy back to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Thou hast contributed much to the greatness and usefulness of Hiram. In response to great heart throbs the aqueous blood courses through thy huge anatomy and is the source of life to the little hamlet as well as to thyself. And if for a time thou dost withhold thy hand with the bountiful supply we forgive thee for we appreciate only by contrast, and thou 132 - hast taught us some of life's noblest lessons, patience, forbearance, meekness, resig- nation, calm acquiescence to the inevitable. Thou dost have it in thy power to dispel the darkness of night. When thou dost think it time for the little village to be wrapped in peaceful slumber, thou dost shut thy great eyes slowly and Night, who, at thy bidding, has held her ebon curtain above the tree tops, drops it gently down to the earth. But, O kind and thoughtful Sphinx, before thou dost leave us in lasting darkness, those eyes of thine give one great wink as a warning. But why do we sometimes sit in the gloaming and wait and watch for the light that does not come? Or why are we sometimes left in sudden darkness when we least expect it? We know that it grieves thee and thou wouldst tell us why, but thou art too full for utterance. Qnce, and only once, hast thou been looked upon with suspicion and disfavoir. For months the death angel hovered over Hiram. Many hearts were saddened and thou wast thought to be the cause. Many believed that thou didst scatter broad- cast microscopic typhoidbacilli, organic particles of the class schizomycetes. But all the time, CD much abused Standpipe, thou didst hold thy peace and dist bear it all uncomplainingly until thou wast restored again to the confidence of all. The youths and maidens love thee. Thou dost stand just at the turning point of the long way round from church, and dost smile upon them as they pass. They linger with thee often and are loath to part with thee. Thou knowest their secrets, too, for in the spring time they sit at thy feet and talk of things that they would have no one hear but thee. In the spring a deeper crimson comes upon the robin's breast. In the spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another nest. In the spring a livelier iris changes on the burnished dove. In the spring a young man's fancy- But thou knowest the rest, O sympathetic stand-pipe. And thou wilt keep their secrets. Thou art their friend. Thou hast never been known to betray con- fidence, thou trusty Sphinx. And this thou wilt ever be. When the winds of cen- turies have blown round thy head and thou hast become old and gray thou wilt never have aught to regret for thy life is the only true life-that of service.

Leave your big hats at home, we might want z to pass a team and there wouldn't be room. In case you meet a punc-- ture give it your regards and salute it without wrath. If your tire gets down, help it up again. If you take a l'header, be sure to return 69060 it, for thou shalt not steal. If you see the morning sun, beware lest the day break. With this forewarning, let us pursue our course. North Hill is somewhat steep, but hold to your neighbor's hand and you'll not fall off. Now, if you are down the hill, get up and start again. Of course, Worlcman and Miss Ewing would have to stop by the old apple-tree, for old time's sake, and to get their breath and quaff the nectar of unadulterated bliss. As the rest of us roll on we can hear him murmur low, just a little louder than the timid crocodiles that shrilly twitter in the brook along the road, as he took her hand and threw it into the stream, Dearest, will you be mine PU VVhen she found her voice in her right- hand pocket, she firmly answered, UNO, for you are falsel' He knit his brow a moment, bit off the yarn and placed the needles in his pocket, then said 'fFare- well. And proudly tossing his head over his shoulder into her lap, he gave him- self up to the tender mercies of the crocodiles. Silence then was broken only by the beating of her ear drums, and the bark of the over-shadowing apple-tree. VVe Woodbtiry our grief as we shed a Teare over the sad Miss Fortune. But let us hasten away only remembering that he who Grieves over such mishaps wastes his time, for they twain will some day walk the golden strands, arm in arm amid the splendor, thinking they are the only geologic specimens on the sandy margin of the sea. V New scenes attract as on we roll. A little bit of muddy Rhodes causes us to slacken our pace, and this brings joy to the perchers. We are horrified to find 134 that the Hindman has her head on l3lack's shoulder. But, Great Scott, if it is com- fortable, what business of ours is it? However, we will send Claude, the Koch, to Hunt the matter up. At the top of the hill we pass the house of seven times seven airy gables. 'We Hurd a noise and in a Trice, a man of color hurried out and said to quit our Harmon things. Pat, the quick-witted, trilled exasperatingly do-Ra-mey. The man of color, being angered, hurled a Brick-er two, but we rolled on. just here we noticed that Vivian continually leaned to the 'Woodward side, and Kate, the brave, had captured a Sabine woman. Down in the hollow we met a Schwan paddling up from the brook. Allie Dean, the artful, took it up on the seat behind her, and all was well. But only for a moment was it so, for some one angered at james, cried out, U, James, go Chase yourself. Miss Corwin punctured her tire and Fred, the Smith, was left behind to repair it. He took Rauber with him who trilled a Carroll as he went. just here a few were led from the pathway straight into the Vx7iley Rodtejfer Dingle Dell. Chapman and his Helen, wearied by the long journey they have traveled, leave our ranks for the moss-backed rocks and glens of some fair retreat. Berry and Clark hurry home to the parlor, for they would rather be there. Miss Knisely takes a Holiday for a stroll, and we see them no more. Emma, who has been here- tofore a faithful Rider, hastens to take a by-road for Akron, there to study Art in their famous schools. A little fellow went over into an enclosure where sev- eral long-eared donkeys were, and some said it was a Bratyjden. Humphrey and ,Miss Johnson fell headlong into love. And though the bells ring they sit stationary gazing rapturously into each other's eyes. Miss Higgins finds a little man who decides to Carter. And a Partridge new over the hills and away. But we who are not weary in well doing must hasten on. Qver hill and through valley we hurry along, surrounded by scenery as beautiful as ever eye looked on, magnificent landscapes and superb waterscapes. There near the side of the road a father was heartily chastising his fractions son with a golden-rod. The little frogs in the clear, cool brook were dancing a lively two-step, and the wind as it blew through our whiskers supplied the tune. 'We saw it floating o'er the hills and thought it was a daisy. Most of us were sick, and when we met a team we made the well kin Qwelkinj ring. At last we reached the school-house on the hill. There was an iron fence around each tree to keep it from leaving. lt was an odd little place, but we wheeled in, and Bailey, the Dean, showed us that heaven was like a bald man's head, no parting there. Then he showed us seats, too. There in the corner a fat little Dutch girl was talking to herself. She was in the corner for punish- ment, but on and on she talked and never ceased. They said her name was Ever- Talking-VVillianis. A Regal lad, with voice keyed high enough to go to sea CCD, was leading the class in Algebra. And one little maid had used the crayon so much that now they called her Chalker. There was silence almost perfect for no one coughed aloud, they left all that to their Kaufman. A little pale lassie sat with her arms around a little pale laddie. Wle heard her lisping low, f'Tiss T onst for oo goes. Dearief' Iim, the Newcomb's bov. was busily studying his Craft. And a knowing little fellow with Tunior to his name was coning his lessons Ober. And one little man with a smile conscientiously 135 did what he thought best, for he could not, if he would keep, his thoughts from Wright, while little saintly Callahan was ever repeating, Saved by Grace ! A little fellow, with hair as red as a crimson sunset, and who occasionally said something we didn't understand about being down in the snow, was reciting in History. He said Hiram was the capital of Sodom and Gomorrah. That Bryan was the Hrst President of the United States, and that Ely Vaughn came next. He said that Teddy Roosevelt wanted to be President, but that St. Peter wouldn't let him in. He said that Senator Roberts committed Trigonometry and was sent home, and that Trumbull was the only President of the United States who ever grew a beard in office, and that Miss Dennis was the best Rulon oratory and kin- dred themes, and that Miss Mitchell, although ever so sad, would not think of dropping a T eare. just then a hideous uproar arose. A boisterous crowd of wild Injuns rushed in. Someone raised the cry, The Aunties! the Auntiesln and every struggling sinner clasped his hand over the hirsute appendange to his upper lip. But the Aunties were deft and the Weaver's beautiful black beginning was gone. And a little man from Georgia went and hid in a secluded spot of the great building near by, a place where other donkeys had been before him. The bell rang for school dismissal and we awakened to find that there were knots in our ponies' manes, and they looked tired and jaded, and then we knew that the witches of fancy had been riding them all night long. 136 , X Q fmfa l s, ff xxiigfjg, e T T i r-7-x Q9 IQ1 -- X lv f EK 5 5 QWhf Q 05,3 he 5 ' 2,251 gif 5 up .An figgw' I lllffllWW fllmllrlllllll lj! l I ' f ImlllIlllllllliiiiii,, ,lllllllli if 'HH M g 1 The mighty mountain slcyward rears its crest Cf snow-crowned grandeur, 'round whose far-thrown base The broad, majestic river slowly sweeps Along its winding pathway to the sea.

But, for better or worse, the invasion was decked on North Hill, the railroad passed around to the eastward and students were denied the privilege of seeing cars upon the streets and avenues of Hiram in the glorious year of 1902. Nevertheless, all are satisfied in a greater or less degree. The depot, which exists only as a dream of the un- known future, is not far from the temples of learning. There are some, perhaps, who wish that it were further away, but all would be pleased if it were nearer completion. Witli the advent of the electric road, the old and perplexing problem of quick and convenient transit between Hiram and Steele's Crossing, Cleveland, and our island possessions is solved so far as Hiram is concerned. Interesting sights and beautiful scenery greet the eye of the beholder as he travels this pic- turesque route. Moreover, the smooth, well-gravelled track is a fine promenade ground, where youths and maidens dreaming stray, and in the beautiful spring days they have been noticed farther from Hiram than ever before. But alas! The old apple-tree so dear to Hiram students of recent years has lost its charms, the alluring, shady fence corners along the old pathway exist only in memory, and Dingle Dell, with its many delights and treasured recollections, is a promised land which one Qor twoj may gaze upon but may not enter. The sugar camp, on the other hand, is more easily accessible now, and is likely to grow even more popular. Hiram's days of splendid isolation are past, but the peace and quiet of the little village have not suffered because of the change of her fortunes. XN7ith a slight feeling of regret, we admit that she cannot be as independent as before. Her interests are affected now when there are washouts and high waters at New- bury, or the dynamos at Chagrin Falls cannot meet the demands upon them. Qnce these matters were of little concern, but now her welfare depends more upon circumstances which she does not control. Perhaps it is beter so, after all. 139 , H . - ,ig 11 u X G Q i If U f, 14 'r LE W: J Fl -1 w YN M 1 l I S W s , . , 3 A A- Y u i ,1 3 Sunshine and Shadow. 'tl' In scattered heaps, the forest children lay Athwart the coursing, wild windls trackless path, Their golden tresses smoothed by loving hand Back from the weary brows, and all the bright And fair of summer hours and sunny life Have closed their sparkling eyes in long, deep sleepy VVhile broken-hearted mother forest mourns. From dim unknown, the woodland spirit comes, Lifts up the sleeping, amber-tinted robes Of fairy formsg whispers of darksome days, Cf sleep in death beside the summer flowers: And memory alone can soothe the pain Cf bare, brown bough and song-stilled, lonely friend And woodland life is sad and gloomy now, And sorrow-burdened shadow everywhere. Though dark the shadow of the woodland life, Witli gilded pencilings, the sunset rays Come trooping o'er the hilltops far and near. The magic hand is writing letters gold, And bright, as golden deed can sometimes bring A smile of rarest happiness to life. The trees forget to mourn their play-mate friends, And listen to the wooing of the windsg The little Arab of the woods frisks ,round His wintry storeg the song friends sweetly raise An olden, summer song of joy and love: The little sunbeams hurry here and there, And gladsome murmur comes of whispered words Of tender careg and woodland life is joy, And pleasure-laden sunshine everywhere. Life has its shadow-worldg where sunlight gone Gf truth and right, the darkness comes of vice: Save here and there some star of virtue pure, No other light, the darkened shadows know or fear: Forth come the legions old of crime, and lives Are wasted, virtue stained, and manhood gone. The self of man his passioned life controls: And greed of gold that curses all, and turns To hardened stone the heart where it abides, Can crush the weak, and force the broken life To deep despair of guilt and friendless death, And lives are starved, and hearts bleed everywhere. And Justice wounded flees: and pretense comes In Friendship's place: and angered hearts are filled VX7ith Hate: and Truth lies crouching at the feet Qf Wfrong, where men grow weak and habits strong. I4I Death claims the fair and good ,and cords of love Are torn apart ,and mourning spreads o'er all The saddened, breaking heartsg and life is sad And sorrow-burdened shadow everywhere. Life has its sunshine worldg from far away Aurora-tinted east or curtained west, The rays of truth and light come trooping fast. The shadows crouch in fear and hide away In darkened caverns of the soul. Men love Their fellowmen, and golden deeds are done, And numbered as the myriad, watching stars, Truth reigns as queen, in clean-washed robes, Cf realm as fair as faithful life e'er gave. And justice, blind no more, wields sword of right. And curse of selfish greed is blessed by deeds Of love and sacrifice .and wounds are healed, And balm of love can soothe the bitter ache. The strong link arms and life and helpfulness To weaker, habit-burdened, struggling soulsg And strength unites for common good or ill. The faithful bond of Friendship true ne'er breaksg And Hope of purer life and better, cheers the soul Cf mourningg and the greater world's life is joy, And pleasure-laden sunshine everywhere. Like, artist skilled, the eeaseless life of man Has worked before the canvass of the ages. The good and true have traced the fairer tintsg The deep, dark taints are spread by sin and crime, The ever-changing scene has ne'er been done: For when the blood-red blots and blackened lines Have grieved the Master Artist's saddened heart He has erased, with loving hand, the blots, And to his struggling ward has given hope To strive again to make his painting true. And thus in shadow-world and sunshine-life, The soul of man must ever toil and live, Until the shadows flee from out the world, And after struggling's done, the victory won, And shadow-land of imperfection passed, The age-tried destiny of man breaks forth, And radiant light encircles life with floods Qf golden gorly, and the morning comes. Wlien darkness gone, triumphant in its power, Shines bright and clear life's deathless sunshine fair Then, soul of man, take heartg for in thy toil, Though thou mayst weave some darker threads of woe From shadow-land and sorrow-world into The garment of thy lifeg therels One will aid, If thou but strive to gild with deeds of love The shadows darkening other livesg and then The picture of thine own life will have no more The shifting shadows of thy baser self. 142 Dedication of Library and Observatory Building K? .

The presentation speeches of Mr. Teachout and Mr. Cooley then fol- lowed. President Zollars responded, and Capt. Henry, Prof. Bancroft and F. M. Green each made brief speeches. Mr. Teachout, in his presentation, spoke of Hiram as the outgrowth of a great religious reformation culminating in the organization of the Christian Church. Recent years afford much to encourage us in Hiram's progress and to cause renewed hope for the future. Hiram .plays well her part in the great drama of human life, doing her best to promote the true interests of higher education, which is the noblest of all efforts. because it will require all that education and religion can do to arrest the nation's rapid strides toward material corruption. College education liberalizes, and he who gives his money wisely to colleges and universities blesses his country by upholding those who are moulding its future manhood and womanhood, permeating it with the power of being and doing right. T43 Mr. Teachout then referred to the old age which, like an evening shadow, is settling over his life and that of his friend, Mr. Cooley. The summer of youth is wasting away in the nightfall of age and the shadow of the past grows dimmer. Happy is the man whose intercourse with the world has not changed the tone of his better feelings. Then it is that the true Christian has a decided advantage for comfort and happiness over the one who has given the best of his life to transitory things. For he can look forward to an inheritance such as it hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive. Mr. Cooley's remarks followed and were indeed impressive. He contrasted Westminster Abbey and the new library building. The one contains the ashes of great men, the other contains the living thoughts of the world's greatest men. It is a place of introductions, where youth will enter and meet the noble company of the past. The purpose of this work is simply to make better men and women, to supply the demand of the great world's throbbing heart of industry. There is something more than mere learning entering into the elements of success. Gne thing above all is essential, and that is moral principle or the divine element. There has been no moment of time in the worldis long age when men did not reach out and grasp for the divine, and this telescope will aid to further that development among the students of Hiram. Yet, after all, the grandest part of the work will be at the small end of the telescope, when a noble man or pure woman stands there looking with reverence into the upper deep. President Zollars then formally accepted the generous gift in the name of the Trustees. He spoke of the interesting study of the growth of an institution of learning. The study of Hiram's life is interesting because of the great and im- measurable good accomplished, because of the peculiar spirit engendered, and because of the sacrifices this work has called forth. During all its history the in- stitution has been blessed by the generous munificence of loyal friends, to whom be all honor. Une thousand dollars were given toward increasing the libraryis equipment. The dedication of this building and telescope is but a prophecy of a future for Hiram, greater than any we have yet dreamed of. VV ith the remembrance of these gifts to stimulate us, we go forth to greater life and larger love and truer deeds for an institution so richly worthy of our most sincere esteem. SZ 'WS 144 1 The ' YQW. C. A. Convention HE State Convention of the Y. WV. C. A. was held in Hiram, October 31 to November 3. Twenty-eight colleges and city associationsiwere repre- sented, sending 105 delegates. Some of the most earnest association leaders were present and the whole convention was a great source of help and strength. It was an inspiration to corne in touch with great lives. There is a silent influence which goes out from consecrated Christian souls that makes you stronger for the battle of life even though you do not remember a word they say. Among the many speakers we can mention but a few. Mrs. Draper read the convention text, Let us work the works of Him that sent me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work. Miss Agnes Hill, of India, in an open- ing address set the key of the convention. She said that Y. W. C. A. means You Want Christ Always, or, if we read backwards, Always Christ 'VVants You. Willis R. Hotchkiss, of Africa, spoke of the great need of the world, and the provision which has been made to meet that need. But as medicine is of no use unless it reaches the sick so this message which has been provided must be carried to all parts of the dying world. He told something of his work in Africa. It took him four years to get a vocabulary of 3,000 words, two and one-half years to find the word for Savior. He had been three times attacked by lions, had had the African fever thirty times, had lived for two months on sour milk and beans, and had been fourteen months without seeing a piece of bread. and yet he said he would be willing to go through with it all again, if he could take the word Savior T45 from the rubbish heap of oblivion and flash it into the darkened minds of another tribe. Miss Dunn, of Chicago, led a number of conferences on the Y. VV. C. A. Work in cities, and Miss Simms, of Detroit, on the work in colleges. These con- ferences, in which different methods and plans were discussed proved especially helpful. Miss Dunn said that the Association Work is for rich and poor, for occupied and for idle. It aims to hold young women in the narrowest path and shortest Way to righteousness. Miss Simms said what We want most is a clearer vision of Jesus, and these great conventions help us to gain it. The missionary spirit was manifested throughout the entire conventiong as one expressed it, the real business of our lives is to interpret Christ to the world. In order that we may better do this we must rule out self. The capital I of our lives must become small i and even that must be eliminated. 146 fag ,V If ' 1434 N X!! fe, R tw w gf KN ix Kia:-NKMQ f A X wiv' A is, Q f AMN fwf ff' Sixux' A ' :I 'ff D K, ff gp HM 9597155-J f Mr H gi, , 26221 , M 1 .- 5, ge 5 M 9: l,W'f5:f,, X, A if 1 W w vfnm , ' ff N , 2 3' , , ff y f 'X 4 ,f1,1,,, ', f' iff' 'lx 5 C Z HZ , ffff , 'UI 5 rnl ,,g' A V 1 ' fl sg .y 3, 'ff ' :' ff? ,W ,pw WU 14, Agri S' .- Hi ...f : A ff NM 5 Wu M ,' 1 -I Q f , V' M f ,J ' 1 , - mW' l Qf jl ff?

That story cannot be true, for since he Hrst chanced upon this beloved hill, such a state of affairs has never been known to exist. Humphrey alone! Don't tell me that. lt's more than my brain can stand. Yet, there he sits, silent, thoughtful and- does my head reel? Am I insane? I must believe my senses, yes, there he sits- alone. What evil circumstances can have conspired to force upon him this hard, this cruel fate? Is it that the doors of Bowler Hall no more swing open, bidding him welcome entrance? ls it that the college halls forbid them to pace with slow and even step their sacred floors or lurk within their shadowy nooks? Is it that the classic walks of this quaint village protest against the constant tread of their light feet as they gaily saunter over these chosen ways? Can it be that the cool sequestered spots about us here, can it be that these, too, prohibit them from seek- ing their pleasant solitudes? Is it that he can find no place where they twain may meet together and enjoy the blissful rapture of each other's loving looks? Tell us, ye gods that hold sway over the elements. Answer, ye everlasting hills. Ye moons, ye stars, ye suns, ye heavenly bodies all, reveal the awful mystery. Make it known to us. Break this dreadful suspense of ours. Yield back to us the answer. Why is it, oh, why is it that Humphrey is alone? Alone, alone, all, all alone, . Alone in the silent room, The shadows whisper it, The dumb walls tell it. - Yes, Humphrey is alone. 150 SENIOR POETRY.

For the most part it is of vital importance to him, that each capital appendage should remain upon its own side of the parting of the ways, and that his necktie should remain upon an exact level with the base of his collar. He also presents a vast display of rings to the vulgar rabble as his hands of snowy whit- ness flutter about his bewitching Van Dyke. But then, bear in mind that what I was just speaking to you about makes a vast deal of difference to the fair damsel who holds imperial sway over the realm of Bowler. Then again, from time to time, the calm waters of her angelic temper become ruffled by the disturbing breezes set in motion by the advent of an essay or a chapel oration for his correction. But all these troubles are laid aside when a Saturday night spread brings an end to toil and labor. These social events are usually held in the private parlor at Bowler Hall. But bear in mind he is making great headway in this direction. And for the most part we wish him success and then happiness forever afterwards. I52 The Little Red Wagon. 'E Oh, ye who are fond of travel, Who have visited many a clime, Who have ridden on steam and sail-boat, On cars both street and steam, VVho have mounted on camel and donkey, And sat in jinrikisha fine, Qh, ye, fo-r all of your journeys, Have missed one treat sublime. Now listen, and I will tell you, Of youths, and maiden fair, And a brave and fearless Ryder, VVho possess a conveyance rare. It is the little red wagon, The wagon so full of dread, For all who venture in it, Are sure to loose their head. Now the owners of this wee wagon Are Leona and Pat, her beau, Ezra and Little Margie, And Emma, too, you know. They ride in it in summer and winter, In moonlight and heat of sun, The maidens all crimson with blushes,- But, oh, it is such fun. On the seat of the little red wagon But two can sit side by side, The other three in the meantime Proceed to give them a ride. The on-lookers gaze and are puzzled, For what can all this mean. But to those who know the parties The meaning is plainly seen. Then, three cheers for the little red wagon The wagon so easy to mount, a Three cheers for Pat and Leona, For Ezra and sweet Margie, too, And three for the valiant Ryder, XYho urges them on to the goal. 153 The Freshman Sleigh Ride. M EAR, Q ye children of Eli, of the fate which did befall an Army Invin- cible C?j in the last days of the reign of Cosby Vlfilliam, ruler of the Emceeemvee Kingdom, Doc o4th being ruler of the House of Minus. Now, on the 15th day of this present year it began to be noised abroad throughout all Hiram that the citizens of the Emceeemvee Kingdom would go up to Troy, a city not far distant, there to make merry with feasting and general rejoicing. And on the same day, at the going down of the sun the favored children of Eli V were seen to emerge from the portals of Miller and Bowler, yea, even from Gerould, and from many mansions round about. And these had their faces set as though they would go towards the sacred temple of the , Christian Associations where would assemble the gliding chariots which were seen to bear them northward. Now, with blood-thirsty desire were the minds of the enemy visited. 'Where- fore did the walls of a benighted gym. resound with reckless threats of a howling mob. Then, as with authority spake Teddy, who was surnamed the Cape- Snatcher, VV hy do ye heathen rage, and why have ye Sophs here assembled. To plot the overthrow of the Freshies haveye brought yourselves hither. Wlierefore have I sent forth Deacon and Judge that they may spy out the land and they do return with tidings of 'sumpen doin'f Two score and one are there of men folk, and of girls not a few. Ye do number but a five score, and for this reason have I written our G. A. R. C Grand Army of Rag-Chewersl saying unto them, 'The Freshmen do gather themselves together as Anarchists with evil intent are wont to do and would even disobey the decree which we ourselves have made, that they shall not ride on sleighs without the confines of this, our hamlet. Arise, therefore, ye gowned veterans, and come hither and we shall endeavor to check the wicked designs of ambitious lawbreakers, and perchance may win for us and thee an iota of needed honor. We certainly ,O2, but you'll have to hurryf And as he spake word was brought that Little Zimmie, the Shuite, had come from the wilderness of Dan, bringing with him his crippled and battle scarred veterans. CAnd following them came the little papooses of six.j And with a fiendish rip rah roar these warriors of the blue and white paint rushed out upon the intruders. Then were the Freshmen sore oppressed, but yet were they not cast downg and with great courage contended they with their enemy. But alas for the Blow I-Iards! As with great joy they look upon a horseless and upturned chariot, aban- doned as a ruse, their beclouded minds are awakened by the passing of another sled, and the reports of the sentries that a third had been spirited away to the westward, bearing with it the maidens fair and the genial Cosby William. I are as Q , 154 Then began the Freshmen to withdraw from the fray and to appear in con- sultation with their faithful allies and in meetings many. And by the space of an half-hour thereafter it appeared that the town was almost Freshman-less. VVherefore were the Sophs pricked in their hearts and were exceeding troubled. Then took they council together how they might redeem themselves. But startled indeed were the soon-united Freshmen when they discovered that they were one Freshman less, yet proceeded they on their way rejoicing and they did report at the banquet hall but an hour late. With manifestations of great joy greeted each one his brother, etc .... And in sympathy without measure were the weak and harmless Sophs remembered. But hark! the landlord speaketh. Listen, O ye who would be sympathetic and kind. At your door, even now, the poor and needy standf' Then the voice of the Sophomore leader who had led his forces hurriedly in pursuit of the merry- makers: We are weary and tired and hungry. Pray admit us and give us to eat, that we faint not. But in haste are the doors of the banquet halls closed before his face, and in despair did the Sophomore host sorrowfully turn to their consulation meeting, with cracker barrels their only resting place and crow their soul dessert. And as naturally as taketh the duck to water, so go these hot and enraged m-en to Cheyenne, and returning, with graceful defference, deposit their burning incense before the door of the palace. Then with disgust at the haughty disinter- estedness of those within and shamefaced at failure they betake themselves from before the portals, And at the sight of these anxious wise men were many ardent defenders of '05 guided hotel-ward, and with them the missing Freshman. Now, this the only captive, had escaped, and with two allies made his way through the lines o-f the cold and sleepy enemy, and thus, with the dying jingle of sleigh-bells the be- siegers became aware that again they were outwitted. And all those within the walls of that cozy inn did eat and were filled, and for the space of many hours was their merry-making prolonged, and not until the advent of the new day did they take their leave of the landlord. And not long after was heralded the return of the happy victors by yells and songs and by the ringing of the old tower bell. And each glad Freshman cherished fond hopes that with his joyful noise he might in a measure brighten the dreams of his no doubt weary and sorrowing Soph. brother.

They buried her darkly at the dead of night, The sods in reverence upturningg By the struggling moonbeams' misty light And the lantern dimly burning. No useless coffin enclosed her head, Nor in sheet nor in shroud they wound herg But she lay like she used to on Rosie's bed, Witli her scraggly grey fur around her. Few were the prayers these mourners said, But they thought, greatly troubled in mind, As they steadfastly gazed on the face of the dead, Of the six kittens left behind. They thought as they heaped up her lowly mound, So silently there by the wood-shed, How generations of cats would roam o'er the ground Wliere their beautiful Doris lay dead. Lightly they'll speak of the spirit that's gone, And hold their cat concerts above herg But' little she'll care if they let her sleep on, In the grave where Elfreida has placed her. Only half their task was over, you see, VVhen the lights blinked-they soon would stop burning And they heard the ominous sound of the key Wliicli Mother in the key-hole was turning. Slowly and sadly they laid her here, Emma Jane gladly helping 'fMother Lowery, The motherless family shed the only tear, And they left her alone in her glory. 158 How' Are the Mighty Fallen I E ah from way down East you know, and have succeeded in having that conglomeration of material mattah which fohms the habitation wherein dwells our lofty spirits, transplanted from the beautiful State of Massa- chusetts, that centah of refinement and education, to this little village, foh the sole puh-pose of allowing to escape from ouh already too excessively ovah-taxed auganisms, at least a small supply of the supah-abundance of brain and cultyh which is omni-present about us.

A maiden thus spoke: Ulf the matron goes To a party o-r spread, from the hall tonight, W'e'll ,take the klavier from its dark hiding place In the attic on high, where there is no light, lf she comes home-just leave it to me, And I by the down-stairs window will be Ready to run and give the alarm, So- that every girl may be safe from harmf' Then she said farewell and with resolute will Took her place in the parlor now dark and chill. Meanwhile her friends through strairway and hall, Hurry to work with listening ears, Till the silence below them dispels their fears. Low voiced calls and the crealc of the floor Are the only sounds, save the steady pull On the old klavier behind the door. Far, far beneath, all are resting in bed ' 162 Deep in their slumbers, quiet and still, VV rapped in the silence of Hiram Hill. Above, a back window they cautiously raise, And give to the landscape one last, longing gaze. Then gently they lower this precious load, And lo! as they looked on the winter night There came a faint' glimmer, then gleam of light, Some shapes in the moonlight, a bulk in the darkg And beneath in the snowdritts, far more than one mark Left there by the maids flying tearful and fleet. That was all! and yet through the snow and the light The klavier of our College was riding that night. It was twelve by the village clock VV hen they reached the Annex of Hiram Town And softly laid their burden down. You know the rest, And borne on the night wind of the Past Through all our history to the last l The people will waken and listen to hear Of the midnight ride of the old klavier. g ,lzq ftlg 163 Hits and Ivlisses.

W 2 WAS a balmy aitcznoc-n in springtimeg just the kind of a day to lure the youthful life out into the woods where the early spring blossoms were just lifting their sweet faces to the warm sunshine. Many a couple could be seen wending their way at no- swift pace across the meadows down to the sugar camp. Prominent amfong these was our pious friend, the Deacon, with a petit maid tripping along by his side. This was no unusual occurence, for Deacon has many dates, the other member of the combination, however, varying in quantity as well as in quality. It was a short time before supper of this same dayg Deacon had deposited his accompanying fair one at her destination and had laid his weary avoirdupois upon his co-uch till the supper bell should summon him to partake of his evening repast. His mind begins to wander to the gentler sex, and suddenly wonderful visions are floating through his mind. Again he feels the thrill of ecstatic joy creeping o'er him as he lives once more through those soul-stirring rambles with sweet Effie by his side. But these recollections did not endure long. Soon the ecstatic thrills change to shivers and moans as he recalls the icy sequel to this short but veiy sweet flirtation. Then his blood is sent tingling at the touch of Capitolia's soft cheek against his and of her encircling arms, during those long moonlight drives last fall. And finally, Hazel floats before his enraptured senses, as he last thought of her when straightening out the road baclc to Berkey's room at some- thing like two o'clock Sunday morning on his return from the neighborhood of the standpipe. ' But there will be an awakening soon. He has already slept too longg quite past his supper hour. He will awake and find all these joys but a dream. But doubtless he will then hasten to set out on his mad and wearying expedition to new fields of action. 165 1 Wants and Exchanges.

If Oh, I-Ioward! fairest, most daring, most noble of all the 'lpiratesf' how I do adore thee! Sweeter to me than the music of rippling waters, more enchanting than the chiming of bells is the sound of thy dear name! Fain would I repeat it o'er and o'er, till its music penetrates my very soul, re-echoing sweetly over hill and dale. Every song bird seems to warble in my ears, Howard! Ho-ward! Every spring flower seems to reflect thy laughing blue eyes. The droning of the bee as it sips sweet nectar from the blossoms only brings to my mind the rich, rare tones of thy low, melodious voice. Dear to my heart are the other 'Kpiratesf' There is little Zimmie, by whose side I have whiled away many a happy hour. Leaning over the same book with him I have studied many a long German lesson and thought it but a passtime with his smiling face near mine. Then there is Jake, too, whose beautiful brown eyes with their long silky lashes, have almost won my heart in days past. Wortild that I could keep you all, just for myself alone! VVould that each one of you loved me as I love you! But alas! fate decrees otherwise. I must make my choice. And when, in the dim future, I must give up two of you, may it be to link my name irrevocably with thine, thou dearest of the pirates, Howard! ' 168 Si-X Little Goblins. They all trotted out, o-n a cold winter's day, Six little goblins, with green-glass eyes, And they all talked at once, they had so much to say, But they didn't know pudding from cold mince pies. They wore cloth shoes on their little plump feet, And they stood in a row and tried to look sweet. They laughed like the screetch of a rusty hinge, As they piped their songs in girlish glee, And their faces were flushed with a strawberry tinge, As they hung on the boughs of the old apple tree. They played in the snow till their fingers were red g Then they opened their mouths, and just hear what the Said the first little goblin, Do you suppose That we some day to the clouds Will Fly And be little angels and Wear White clothes, Like other good people who live in the sky F Then she chuckled and patted the snow with her shoe, Wliile the other five goblins said, Sure we do. Then the next little goblin opened her throat, And said while her breath came thick and fast, How do you like the style of my coat? And the style of the hats these four years past ? Then she clapped her heels and gently sighed, My Art Art the best Art that Art beside. Then the third little goblin clucked one eye, And spoke as she pulled at the thumb of her glove, If ever it comes that I have to die, I hope it won't be because l'm in love. I ain't very big, nor I ainit very tat, But there is just cne thing that l've got down Pat. 169 y said Then the fourth little goblin leered round and said, I live on a farm in a little red cab, I once had a fellow, but now hels fled, Though he often had called me his dear little Tab. I'm almost forsakenf, she lisped with a sigh, And the other Hve goblins saw Teare in her eye. Now the other two goblins, with motherly care Each tumbling a thought round in their mind, Said, VVe're both nearly forty, though we look young and fair, 1 Yet never a mand could we ever find. You wee ones are silly, you'd better be shy, Your time will come round in the sweet by and by.', And then the Whole of the goblin band, Started for home in the cold white snow, And they ran in a long row, hand in hand, Singing the songs that they used to kno-W, Singing the songs that their grandsires sang, In the googoo Clays of the goblin tongue. I George and Mary. Mary with your big dark eyes, Rightly called are they goo goo, Ever can I see those eyes, And I think of naught but you. Rays of darkness from them shine 7 For tho-se great big eves are bright, Potent are these charms of thine, And they overcome me quite.

Do Not Get Married. fi' Once upon an evening dreary, Marcia pondered, weak and weary, Over many a face and feature of the men whom she had known, And she thought how some were bachelors, some were young and sporty chappies But that none of them had lingered, lingered at her side alone, When there came a sudden tapping ,tapping at her chamber door, Only this, and nothing more. Ah, distinctly she could hear it as she sat their in the firelight, And each separate flickering tire-tongue made its image on the wall, Much she wished that they would leave her, leave her quietly in peace, But they kept on with their tapping and she heard a light foot-fall, And she put aside her reverie as she opened wide her door, h Opened wide her chamber door. She peered out in the hallway, when so quiet and sedately, In there stepped a shrouded figure like in ancient mystic lore, ln its hand it held a pennant, flashing forth in blood red letters, Marcia Henry, don't get married, these words the pennant bore- And the white clad creature swung it, standing there within the door Swung it there, and nothing more. 3 Startled at this apparition, Marcia gazed with consternation, At the grim prophetic warning flaming there her eyes beforeg But with boldness and decision then she stepped up to the figure, Asked in tones deep and commanding if this fate was to be hers, And she reached out toward the caller, but the room it was quite empty g There was Marcia, nothing more. On the floor there lay the pennant where the vision fleeing, left it, And the trembling maiden hung it on the wall forevermore, There it hangs and tells the reason why Miss Henry liveth singlep Thus she'll live on, aye, forever, for the spirit did decree this, lVhen it came to her that evening, just inside the open door. That's the reason, nothing more. T73 Q ...gig-. x, , Nr V! l f X' ' f f R sup!

Think-much-of-himself High-minded McCormick, Ir. lj-'he artist failed to do justice fo this subject? ls one of the most marvelous specimens of human development ever met with since the beginning of time. He was born and reared in a fertile district of lndiana, and from the first budding of consciousness his growth has been phe- nomenal. At the age of two weeks he knew all his letters and could read reasonably well. Vfhen one year old he had completed the reading of Shakespeare's entire works and had prepared a digest of them after the most approved method. He was also somewhat familiar with Greek, Latin and Hebrews classics. His love for mathematics was equally wonderful. VVhen less than two years of age he was able to compute, by mental process, the number of cubic inches in the solid contents of the earth. He entered Hiram College in early life, and after taking the Chief High Bluffer,s degree from this institution will go forth to deluge the nations of the earth with a sea of learning. Wfhen asked a short time since to what place he would go to make his first appearance before the learned men of the age, he replied, To Ober-am-i-golf' Q j. Wfhy should he seek this place? :i'0:'--.Si ik 2? ,, j 6 l if' J f 1 1 X Q X, t I , tx e g A FLORA AND OLIVER.

I do not care what others sayg I for my self will choose the way. Ever wooing, Still a love-born heart pursuing. Tall and lank without the skill Of moving gracefully or standing still. I thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated To closeness, and the bettering of my mind. My heart is sore for somebody, But I'll never drop a Teare. Love is blind: and lovers cannot see h The petty follies that themselves commit. Domestic happiness, thou only bliss Oi Paradise that hast survived the Fall. The Flowers and fruits have long been dead, And not even the da1sy is seen. A wielder of dull razors, Stories old he keeps in stock. Fain would I ask a question. Ask a question. Prof.. of thee.

Fatty is noted for his ability to adapt himself to circuinstances. Never in all his course has he been without a steady perch, and his devotion to these various perches has been reniarkable. The first year the fair Florence claimed his attention. The second and third years he worshiped with untiring zeal at the trone of the Goddess Vesta, and it was thought that he sacriliced his heart at her sacred shrine. But when school opened this year and the students be- gan to gather on the old hill, there was one little girl, with a smiling face and Winning way, who--well, Chap- pie has been a devoted attendant of brown-eyed Madge ever since. Not only as a student of hearts, but as a student of books has Fatty starred, and Hirani loses an all-around student when he leaves. If You Want Books or Stationery - Jee D. H.

His iron constitution and expansive smile are results of this diet. He wished to win renown and fortune in his own land, but Our Lady of the Snows was unappreciative. He bade her farewell and crossed Lake Erie on an ice cake. Now he is likely to succeed. As an elocutionist he en- joys a wide reputation among neighboring churches. His real fame rests largely on his love of Hate, and is forever preserved in the pages of the Spider Vlfeb and Advance. But although Hate is the guide of his life and the object of his devoted worship, he is neverthe- less very meek and gentle. He expects to be a mission- ary, but no sane cannibal will consider him a desirable repast. Bargains in PHHNQDS and Other Musical Instruments, ,Sf Aix X fza.. 1 ,Fl x : il, Q-X 5: .

Felicitous Delightful Butchart was first observed at declination o, north latitude, during the glacial period. He was but partially congealed, and was seen to be ex- erting his utmost effort to climb the north pole. Later he successfully performed this feat and, for the vast deal of knowledge gained was rewarded by the Hiram Society for Scientific Research. N'Vith the prize money in his pocket, he boarded the first glacier on the down slide for Hiram, and in a short time reached his desina- tion. Then the melting began. The situation would have proven disastrous, had not heat from without been checked. Soon imbibing the spirit of the institution, he became its ardent supporter. He took many honors, the greatest of which were on the athletic field. He expects to enter the pugilistic ring and there win a temple of fame in which to dwell quietly and alone.
