A band of young students at Yale College, New Haven, Connecticut, i during the school year of 1898, conceived tl1e plan of establishing in the west a college of liberal arts and Christian culture and volunteered to carry it into effect. There were seven of them --a perfect and sacred number. Do not for- get their names, or fail to remember what they planned and l1ow through those early yea1's they struggled heroically to make real their vision of a col- ' lege of Christian learning, in the formative period of the industrial and political history of the great commonwealth of Illinois. Here are their names: Mason Grosvenor, Theron Baldwin, John F. Brooks. Elisha Jenney, William Kirby, AsaTurner, and Julian M. Sturtevant. They were students in the Theological department of Yale College, and planned to come west as home missionaries. Their foundation for success and permanency was laid thus J early in the establishment of the Christian college Previous to that time, Rev. John M. Ellis, a Presbyterian minister, came west under the direction of the American Home Missionary Society,-came to Illinois-a. messenger inspired and sent of God to cry throughout the land Prepare ye the way for the incoming population, that will flood these ricl1 prairies by building churches, schools and colleges. For two years, 1826-28, amid otl1er duties, he was maturing a plan fora seminary of learning and was exploring tl1e counties of Randolph, Bond, Madison, Greene and other counties for the best location. Tl11'Ol1,9,'l1l'l16 press, in tl1e pulpit, at the fireside, with un- flagging zeal he pressed tl1e question, How shall the means of education be furnished to meet the wants of this growing stale? In Bond County, where tl1e first Presbyterian church organized in tl1e state, was located, he found sympathy and awakened interest, and efforts were made to locate the seminary tl1ere. He had a co-laborer in the person of T. Lippincott, who, one day dining with Judge Lockwood of Edwards- ville, afterwards of Jacksonville, and Dr. Todd of Springlield, was advised to suggest to Mr. Ellis the wisdom of inspecting the new counties of Morgan and Sangamon before tl1e location should be decided upon. The nlg Veba 9' 6 Vol. I2 result was that Messrs. Ellis and Lippincott visited Jacksonville and began tl1e Work of college construction, iirst by the selection of College Hill as the site and the appointment of a soliciting committee. They secured 33,000- Then came forward. the Yale Band, offering to furnish the proposed insti- tution the sum of 8l0,000, provided the previous subscribers would consent to certain modifications of their plans, deemed by the Yale men necessary to the permanent prosperity of tl1e institution. The subscribers were seen personally and the written consent of every one of them was obtained to tl1e proposed modification of the plan to which they subscribed on certain conditions. A Board of Trustees was organized in January, 1829, as follows: Hon. Samuel D- Lockwood, who served until 1868 William C. Posey. who served until 1849 John P. Wilkinson, who served until 1841 Rev. Theron Baldwin, who served until 1870 Rev. John F. Brooks, Rev. Mason Grosvenor, who served until 1833 Rev. Elisha J enney, who served until 1870 Rev. Williain Kirby. who served until 1851 Rev: Julian M. Sturtevant, who served until 1831 S,,,,.,,,,.,,,,, HM, H ll Rev. Asa Turner, who served until 1844. It will be seen that with the exception of tl1e first three, all were of the original Yale Band, and were ministers. , In January, 1830, in the completed building, now known as Beecher Hall, with nine students and Rev. Julian M. Sturtevant, sole instructor, college life of Illinois College began. The next year Rev. Edward Beecher, son of Lyman Beecher, and brother of Henry Wa.rd Beecher, became President. He occu- pied that position for fourteen years and was succeeded in 1844 by Dr. J. M. Vol. 12 Xlg Veba 'mage 7 Jones Memorial Sturtevant, Whose life was inwrought in the institution 'for forty-eight years,-from 1830 to 1878-teacher, preacher, Presi- dente-leader in every movement for 1'lg'ht6Ol1S116SS! An inter- regnum, between the resignation as President, of Dr. Sturte- vant, was ably filled by Acting-President R. O. Crampton, of the chair of Mathematics- Then followed the successful presi- dency of Rev. E. S. Tanner, and after him came John M. Bradley, Clifford W. Barnes, and Charles H. Rammelkamp, present presiding officer. But lying in between 1830 and 1910 are years of service, sacrifice, hope, success, despondency, doubt, succeeded by vision and outlook most masterly. The splendid campus dotted with serviceable buildings, the long list of instructors of character and ability, the larger list of students-a thou- sand graduates filling important places in state and church and commercial life-tell a story 1'eplete in heroism and highly creditable in historic value. i '20ld Illinois, All Hail!

Literature, says Disraeli, is an avenue to glory. It throws wide tl1e i doors which lead to tl1e abodes of the greatest minds and he who enters there may come into close acquaintanceship with all ages, all subjects, and all languages. I The ocean of literature is without limitf' Itis, wholly, beyond the realm of a college or university to give a complete course in English classics, but the taste for pure English in thought, composition and expression can be culti- vated. It is tl1e purpose in this department at Illinois to give to the student . not a superiicial but a general knowledge of English literature -its cliaracter istics, its exponents, its history and its influences. constant drill in written expression and the criticisms in tl1e class room are of inestimable value. Language most shows a mang speak that I may see theef' is credited to the pen of Ben Johnson. Dr. Ames is a strong believer in l this bit of verse and l1is highest aim is to acquaint his students with the cor- rect use of English and to have them practice it. One of the preliminary courses consists of a general survey of the history of English literature from its beginning to the present day. Later more definite and more minute study is . bestowed upon courses that center on the most significant periods. Dr. John Grifiith Ames, the instructor, received his Bachelor degree in Literature from Oxford University 1899. He graduated with A. B. from John Hopkins Universiry in '94 and is also a graduate student of Harvard. Dr. Ames has been Professor of English at ,Illinois College since 1896 and the year previous filled the same position at Kenyon College, Gambrin, O- HJOl1l1l1l6,,lS popular with all students excepting Freshmen, wh0 consider his course too stifll' and his Hunks too general. IPR. J. fi. AMES Nine specific courses are offered. Practical work is first given in the study . of Rhetoric by the application of its principles to the writing of themes. The 1 vgglwfga mathematics -vm it The philosopher may be delighted with the extent of his views, the arti- ry ficer with the readiness of his hands, but let one remember that Without ' mechanical performance, refined speculation is an empty dream, and the other that without theoretical reasoning, dexterity is little more than brute instinct. 1 -Dr. Johnson. Mathematics is the oldest of sciences. It is reasonable to suppose that Geometry was known in the iirst stages of civilization and the text books used today are not very dissimilar from the elements of .Euclid used about 300 B. C. The development of this science has been wonderful and even in recent years the continued advancement in the methods of mathematical calculation is remarkable. V The department of mathematics is certainly one of the most important departments in the college curriculum. Four full years of work are offered and aside from the regular courses in Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry and ' Calculus, instruction is given in Surveying and Astronomy, for which the col- . lege is fairly well equipped. Perhaps a testimony to the strength of this de- partment is the small enrollment in the l1igl1er classes. Prof. William Otis Beal, the instructor, received a Bachelor degree from Earlham College, Indiana, in 1896, and in 1902 was given a Master degree by the University of Chicago. He was an instructor in Michigan Agricultural College from 1897-1900g instructor in Chicago Manual Training School 1902-1903, and-assistant in Astronomy at the University of Chicago during the summer of 1903. Since that time he has been successfully performing his duties as Professor of Mathematics at Illinois College' A square deal and a fair chance , is the motto of our friend, Billy , for which he is much admired by the student body.

The courses in historyinclude a general study of the important nations and their political changes, covering in point of time from the fifth century to ' the present day. In tl1e history of the important countries of Europe, particu- lar reference is made to the Revolution in France and to the rise and over- throw of the Napoleonic Kingdom. In the study of our own nation, the various periods are taken up and given thorough consideration by means of lectures, recitations, topical reports and studies in select documents. The history courses are all exceedingly thorough and the student who has received credit from t11is department feels that he has secured something permanent and valuable. The course in Political Science is indirectly connected with the History d.epartment. It is the most im- portant elective course offered and the instruction derived therefrom will be of extreme value to the graduate in his relations with the World. The course is so arranged as to deal with the practical questions of our coun- try at the present time. Attention is also given to tl1e economic problems presented in the earlier and con- temporary history of the United States and a comparison is made with the problems of the various foreign countries. The governments of the importa.nt European countries are studied and compared with one another and with our own political system. Aside from political institutions, money credit and banking come in for UR. U. lfl. UAR'l7Elt Img Ima ' mol. l2 mage I3 a share of consideration. Interesting courses in International Law and American Diplomacy are also offered. This department is in charge of Pres. C. H. Rammelkamp, whose peerless ability as a class room instructor is not questioned. Prexy gives a- mighty stiff course but every student speaks commendably of the work in his department, realizing its instructive value. Dr. Rammelkamp is a graduate of Cornell University, having ' d f m that institution the degree of Ph B. in 1896 and Ph. D. in 1900. He was instructorin American receive ro . - History at the same school from 1897-1900, and also held a similar position at Leland Stanford, Jr., University before coming to Illinois College. Dr. Rammelkamp was a student in tl1e University of Berlin, 1900-1901. His career at Illinois is familiar to all, where he arose from tl1e position of Assistant Professor of History to tl1e highest position the college can offer, at the same time retaining his position in the History department. Dr. Rammelkamp is assisted in this department by Dr. Clarence Edwin Carter, an alumnus of Illinois College and a thoroughly equipped instructor. He has been a member of the college faculty since 1908.

'M-I-1 Trench emo German 351.7550 It was Dr. Samuel Johnson who said that 'fthe most important prelimin- l ary preparation for any university training is a thorough knowledge of the classics. If he were living today he would, no doubt, be as ardent a cham- pion of the study of modern languages as he then was of the classics. It is only through tl1e comparison of other tongues that a real appreciation of our own is gained, thereby giving the student besides culture and refinement, something of real practical value- The study of the classics reconstructs for . us the ancient civilizations while the pursuit of the modern gives us an in- sight into and respect for other countries running along parallel witl1 our own. To feel their inspirations, to know their achievements and to realize that they have excellencies as great, and in many respects greater than ours, is possible through an acquaintance with their literature and their tongue. French and German languages are important to all professions and form an important element in the preparation for the pursuit of the advanced . sciences. Industry and politics are tl1e greatest factors in practical Ameri- . can life, and to be able to see these through the eyes of the French, German, MISS Sq-,.,m,A L, OOM., Spanish and Italian is to broaden one's sympatl1ies and judgment. It is im- portant that an American citizen under our democratic form of government should have some knowledge of tongues other than his own. This important department under the able in- struction of Miss Stella Lenore Cole offers courses that teach the student accuracy, broaden his sympathies, give him tl1e best that there is in literature and make him a better citizen- ' Miss Cole, the instructor, received tl1e degree of-Ph. B. from the University of Chicago in 1901. In 1896-7 she studied in Paris and Berlin and again in 1902-3 was a student at the University of Berlin. Before coming to lllinois College she was instructor in German at tl1e India.napolis High School and instructor in German. and French in the Academy for Young Women, Jacksonville, Ill. Miss Cole is a most efficient instructor, de- voting all her energy and attention toward tl1e betterment and advancement of the work in l1er department. yu, va.. Greek anb 'latin 71302215 Vol. l2 What can a sensible being get out of the meaningless characters and 11iero- glyphics that go to make up Greek? A Hunk if he is not careful- What relation could a civilization that existed more than 2000 years ago bear to the present? If you were told that,Greek life as studied in school was as complex and modern as thepresent day life, you no doubt would be surprised. Yet that is tl1e case and more than that: tl1e Hellenic peoples were not chained down by senseless conventicnalities. ' What is it that Americans need most today? Sanity. We are a race of extremists and fanatics. Learn from a study of Greek how to become masters of your emotions and how to obtain a broad view of life. Can the ordinary man distinguish between the real and desirable in life and the artificial and undesirable? Where can he get the best material with which to build his standard? Let him spend three or four years on Greek. The value to be de- rived from an acquaintance with Greek people, however, depends not only up- on what those people produced but also upon the student's ability to get at it. No one would say tl1at a 1na11 could do it by himself but he must necessarily have someone who has devoted much of his life along this one line. Dr- ? , Clarence Gwen Harris is certainly well equipped to furnish the student tl1e necessary aid toward working out what is in the Greek literature. A graduate of Cornell, having spent much time in the East exploring Greece and Asia Minor, he is well qualified to make tl1e course interesting as Well as beneficial. Dr. Harris is also in charge of the Latin department, giving instruction in Cicero, Livy, Hor- ace. Tacitus. Suetonius, Plantus, Pliny and other noted Roman authors. He is a true teacher. He believes it is his lifeworkg that it is his mission to instruct the youth and start him along right lines. To those who have taken l1is courses nothing can be saidg to those who l1ave not: You are missing an important part in the preparation of yourself for a better, broader life. -p..,,.i6 Chemistry, 'ligriculture anb 'Physics H,gg,?'g0 Chemistry takes its beginning from the ancient alchemists, who vainly searched for the philosopher's stone and attempted to prepare asolution which -would convert the base metals into gold. These attempts and experiments naturally led to the discovery of many truths on which the science of chemistry was later based. Wlieii the .Renaissance swept over the world, the element of the supernatural, which had hitherto prevailed, was gradually lost and the science began to acquire tl1e real nature by which we know it today. Many men spent their entire lives that they might add one point to its advancement. The field has been so thoroughly explored that today Chemis- try plays a very important part in the commercial world. Every large manu- facturing establishment has its corps of chemists who save much expense and and greatly cheapen the production of the various materials. Thus, since chemistry holds such an important place in the world it is one of tl1e most im- portant sciences in the School of Liberal Arts. The upper floor of Sturtevant is devoted exclusively to chemistry and is well equipped witl1 recitation rooms, laboratories and all necessary apparatus. The work of the first year is designed to give the student a general View of 1norgan1c chemistry, emphasizing the fundamental principles of the science. DR. J. WM' ,,,,A,, Tl1e next phase considered is qualitative analysis in which each student makes . tests for t ie detection and separation of the elements and radicals studied in preceding courses and tl1e advanced work consists of quantitative analysis. . The study of A.gI'1CLlltllI'6, which is included in this department, is a recent addition to our college cur- 1'1Cl1llllI1. .Courses ln animal breedlng, field crop production and grain judging, soils and soil management, stockfeeding,'agricultural entomology and botany are offered. Dr. John William Read. the instructor, has especially equipped l11l'I1S6lf.f0I' the work in this department. I-le has a M. S. degree in Agiculture from the University of Missouri and 1n 1Q08 engyoyed a fellowship in Agronomy. The summers of '07 and '08 were spent as asslstant at the Missouri Agricultural Station in charge of crop breeding. In '09 he wasagraduate student in Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and during the coming summer months will be a graduate stu- dent and assistant 1n chemistry at the University of Michigan. Dr. Read is also professor of Physics at Illinois. fwfr 55101092 rw - An acquaintanceshipwith nature and the wonderful laws and mechanism of nature, whether it be attained through a study of plant or of animal life, is an important adjunct to one's knowledge received from other sources. The Biology department, therefore, is of extreme interest and importance, appeal- B ing perhaps with most force to those students who have in View the medical profession as their life Work. V The Botany courses include a brief study of plant physiology and tl1e relation of plants to their environment, also a morphological study of ferns and flowering plants, of forest trees and their economic uses. 'Phe study in plant ecology and physiology is of great interest, requiring experimentation in greenhouse and in the field. . The Zoology courses offer instruction in invertebrate and vertebrate mor- phology, which is a consideration of the structure, development and relation- ship of types taken from these two classes of animalism. The courses also 1 include :i study of embryology, general physiology, general histology and comparative anatomy. and biological evolution. The course in comparative MISS SMITH ' anatomy is intended to teach tl1e student some of the methods of modern microscopic technique and to give a thorough study of the development and structure of animal tissues. It is especially designed for students preparing for the study of medicine. The work in theseldepartments demands much time and accurate study. The instructor, Miss Isabelle Smith, is a diligent teacher, and expects of her students an equal display of diligence. She is a graduate of Oberlin Uollege. having received the A. BQ degree in 1901, and has an M. S. degree from the 'Unix ersity of Chicago, where she was a graduate student in 1902-'03. She was also a research student at the Marine Bio- logical Station, Woods Hole, Mass., during tl1e summer of 1903. Before coming to Illinois, in a903, Miss Smith was assistant in the High 'School at Fremont, Ohio, and assistant in Botany at Oberlin College. She is now Assistant Professor of .Biology at Illinois. P 6 . -nf-els 'Ilbilosopby emo Biblical 'literature 352.256 Philosophy is taught in Illinois College with a view toward training the I student to think. It directs tl1e mind in orderly processes of reasoning and lends a refinement to thought and speech which is gained in no other depart- ment, It gives the student a view of the development of thought from the beginning of known history to the present time, with all of the theories accompanying it in every age. It becomes, then, the most practical basis of modern sciences. The unguarded critic who unwittingly stamps Philosophy as the unneces- sary and superfluous condemns himself to ignorance of the actual forces operating in every phase of every man's affairs. Theory it is that makes for higher ideals. and it is only ideals tl1at make a goal for the actual. Philosophy, therefore, has been taught in the college with an end in view. It undoubtedly has had its lasting effect upon the students who have been in the classes of Dr. Hayden. May it continue to be an important course in the coming years as it has been in the past. The course in Biblical Literature is also a very important course, and a IM-lf'-H-HM'I'1'1N certain number of hours' work is required of all students. The following subjects are considered: Bible version and Canon, Beginnings of Hebrew History, Hebrew History and Literature, New Testament History and Literature, Life of Christ Life and Letters of the Apostle Paul. Dr. Frederick S. Hayden, the instructor, has endeared himself to all students. His pleasant manners and hiscongenial nature will win him friends wherever he goes. Dr. Hayden is also a scholar and an excellent instructor. He has a B. D. degree from Yale University and a degree of D. D. from Illinois College, which was conferred upon him in 1891. From 1899 to 1902 he was lecturer on Theism and Evidences of Christianity at Illinois College, and since that time has been Professor of Philosophy and Bible Literature. Dr. Hayden succeeds in making his courses interesting as well as instructive and valuable. l9ol I2 'Physical Culture -pm l9 nlg Weba f,x -..A ..,- f COACH' 0. G. HARREL Although the term Physical Education is of comparatively recent date, the idea is older than any record, and tl1e underlying principles and methods which we now apply consciously were prehistorically applied, perhaps uncon- sciously, as shown by the physique developed. Tl1e early Greeks placed the ability to wield, effectively, the javelin, the sword, and the bow and to run and endure fatigue above all other accomplishments. In the present day the development of the body as well as the mind is ad- vocated by all prominent educators. The value of physical development is thoroughly realized at lllinois. For those who do not get a chance for devel- opment by being on the different athletic teams there is an opportunity in the gymnasium. Although credit is not given for this work, each student is re- quired to take two years work in this Department in order to obtain a degree. The gymnasium is spacious and well equipped with apparatus necessary for physical training and able instructors are in charge of this important part of the college course. Coach O. G. Harrel, who conducts the men's classes, is a graduate of Earlham College and during his college days established quite a. record as an athlete. He is also coach of all the college athletic teams. Mrs. P. C. Thompson con- ducts the training in the girls' department. Tw 20 music 3323? f Among tl1e numerous advantages Illinois College offers to its sl udents is the special Opportunity of cultivating a desire for the fine art through tl1e channel of its musical department-the Illinois Conservatory. The Illinois Conservatory of Music had established itself as one of the best organizations of its kind many years before it was amalgamated with Illinois College. It was founded in 1871 by Prof. W. D. Sanders, who was then one of the leading and most successful musical instructors in the West. The high standard set up byits first director, I. B. Poznanski, who later be came instructor at tl1e Royal Conservatory of London, has always been main- tained. Among teachers of note wl1o have since been connected with the Conservatory are J. S. Barlow, Dwight, Nutting and Johannessen. The Conservatory offers one of the best curricula in the state of Illinois. Not only those of the particular musical departments are offered opportuni- ties, but all students found in any or all departments of the united , institu- tions have 'the advantage of becoming members of such organizations as the Illinois College chorus, the'A Capella choir and the Conservatory orchestra, wl1icl1 are the only ones of their kind in Jacksonville, without any ekpense of membership, and with the added advantage of appearing in public recitals. The present faculty of the musical department offers strong courses. Under the able management of Director William E. Kritch, the departments of violin and theory, piano, organ and voice have become very efficient, and maintain the exceptionally high standard set by the founders. Individual attention forms a great part of tl1e instruction, and the student who' attends must attain a strong personality with broader views and an understanding of tl1e value of musical subjects. 4 MA DAM 141 Wl1lf'H4l N E R, Volcv' S. liI'Ll,ARl .

The quiet- ness was undisturbed except for the soft whispering of the wind throuigh the leaves and now and then tl1e tu-who of an owl rom the tower of Sturtevant. The lone traveller, as he trod tl1e paths through the cam- pus and turned his face toward the dark, bleak walls of Crampton, surmised that it was midnight in June rather than nine o'clock on a September eve. Not a light sent forth a com pan ionable flicker from the win- dows of the dorm. The Freshies had not been seen since noon that day, the Sophs had kissed their books good-bye at 7 o'clock and the other dorm rats had lied to parts unknown. All were out. The scene shifts. Half concealed by the sloping landscape and a clump of massive oaks, stood the large banquet hall and club house, occupied by nigh two score Freshmen. The lights burned low, and weird tales were related by the lads and lasses as they peered into the embers of a slowly burning grate. All was well within. Without, the green was dotted with disappointed Sophs, who had arrived at the scene of pleasure too late to interfere with the joy- ousness of their bitter enemies. They skulked away to lay plans for revenge and to meet their enemy in bold attack the following morn. When the rosy tinted fingers of dawn appeared, a vast army of Sophs occupied the plains of Illinois. The General had stationed his army well and the colors were streaming victoriously from tl1e dome of the chapel. Every soldier was alive to his duty and his natural bravery required no long words to excite its ardor. Each Freshman as he appeared on the plain was compelled to surrender. was bound hand and foot and confined within the walls of Fort Crampton. All fought bravely but the morn had found them ,jaded and jaundiced by the night's revelry while their adversaries were fresh and vigor- ous. Thus they were incarcerated in the Crampton stronghold. But then the unexpected happened. As a storm suddenly bursts forth in all its fury on a quiet sea, so the Freshmen miraculously tore from the bands which held them and in the space of a lightning Hash were ready to make their escape. The guards were overcome with fear and fell down trembling as did the jailer at the feet of Paul and Silas. The clanking of armor and the tearing asunder of chains attracted the attention of outer guards and soon the alarm was given. While the battle raged amidst smoke and cannonade in this section of the fort, a similar uprising took place in the northern cells, where were also confined a number of prisoners. Man fought mang the panels of a door gave way like paper to a hurricane and window panes fell like snow from the upper stories. The Freshies were heroic, but they were held by their sturdy opponents. At 10:10 the Soph colors still floated over the Jones Memorial. ,li X . 2-,f gf-, 1 u'f,z - Q M.. , , - 1 ,Em- H V1 ,A , Q,.. . -.- , ' ' - :Q :E ' Y ' x W, f Q . , J . ,,, tl I ,X 1,1 1 I I ,I , A 'n 5:1 if vw ' . vi K.-. 31 'N Vi f .

Mrs. Shumaker has been with us so long and has filled her position so well that college life would not be the same without her. She is the one who drives away the spell of homesickness, taking the place of a mother. Those special dinners before Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations are feasts which are never for- gotten by the boys of the club. When pumpkin pies and oysters are missing, it is Mrs. Shumaker who, in a maternal way, stands up and says, I know my boys had nothing to do with it. We deeply regret, as we graduate from this insti- tution, that our happy hours spent at the Club House are passed. It is our sincere wish that Mrs. Shu- maker may live long and continue to fill the impor- tant position which sl1e now so ably occupies.

Hargraves t-mo 'Gln Tfounbers of Tflbi 'Alpha iLi,f1?a The motive impelling the founding of Phi Alpha Society was to stimulate and encourage among the members a love for com position and extempore speak- ing, and also to foster a spirit of comradeship, thus binding in union those students who should attach themselves to the society in fraternal ties of a com- mon bond of literary brotherhood. The study of text-books and the discipline of the mind through tl1e exercises found in tl1e regular channel of a col- lege course are all important, but this is not all of college life. The friendships formed, the associations which spring from and grow up during a student's college days, reach far into the varied relations of his business experiences as he advances to engage in the earnest competitions and battles of the world. The birth of Pl1i Alpha Society dates from tl1e last evening of the first autumnal month of 1845. There were present at the organization of the society seven students of Illinois College: Eugene Baldwin, Robert Wilkinson, Robert Wilson, H. S. VanEaton, P. C. Ross, G. R. Henry, William Jayne. N. Wright, if not present on that evening, was a very early mem ber. If I were to name, in accordance with my belief and memory, the most active and loyal of tl1e early sons of Phi Alpha, I should name Dr. Jeremiah Wright, whose earnestness, enthusiasm and love for the society and attachment for all brother members never abated during a life-timeg l1is zeal was as warm in tl1e evening as in the flush of morning life. For more than forty years he never failed to be present a.t every reunion of our society. Of tl1e first mem- bers, four adopted the profession of law, and four the profession of medicine. Baldwin, VanEaton, Wilson and Wilkinson studied law. Henry, Wright, Jayne and Ross became surgeons and physicians. Robert Wilkinson first opened his office at Rock Island. in this state, and afterwards moved to Kan- sas, where he held responsible positions before the bar. Wilson, soon after the completion of his college studies, became infected with the gold fever, which was tl1e epidemic over tl1e whole country in 1849-'50. He joined the throng who were seeking fortune and fame on the Pacific slope. There he spent a life- time. Baldwin, after finishing his law studies, moved to Minnesota. He became a man of ample fortune and large influence in his new home, and was several times a member of the Legislature of l1is state. Henry VanEaton came direct from his father's farm to college. He was blessed with robust health, was brimful of fun and frolic, a good student, de- 53-lg Wada Wal. I2 'Page 41 sirous of obtaining knowledge, he was humorous, but his humor was kindly, no sting to it? he WHS DOD' ular witl1 his fellow students. After leaving college, he decided to settle in the South. There he lived, enjoying the respect and confidence of l1is fellow- citizens, whom he has served several times as repre- sentative in the Congress of the United States. No old member has had a more cordial reception at P111 Alpha reunions than Van Eaton. . Dr. Wright gave all of the labors of life to his chosen profession He enjoyed a largf-3 D1'ilCt1C0, and his papers before the State Medical Society were al- ways regarded very able. He was literary in 1115 taste and wrote very creditable verse. He d6l1V8I'8d a poem before Phi Alpha Society, 011 May 31, 1375, which was ,well received, full of incident and mem- ories of college days. r G. R. Henry was a handsome young man when l1e first appeared at college, by inheritance and by education a gentleman. Of medium size, he WHS mentally and physically a man of action, intent on some purpose, a natural leader among men. He com- menced the practice of l1is profession in Burlington, Iowa, and enjoyed alarge and lucrative practice. He was always ready to give of l1is time and money to every enterprise calculated to promote the public in- terests of his city. He was for many years a member of the Board of Education, and was a trustee of the State Insane Asylum. P. U. Ross adopted the profession of medicine. He was early affected with some disease of l1is eyes, which interrupted l1is devotion to his business. Jayne has continued tl1e practice of medicine in his native city, Springiield, Ill., witl1 tl1e exception of the time he has served as the Governor of Dakota and delegate in Congress, member of the State Sen- ate and three times Magor of Springfield. He has been a member of tl1e card of Education. and is IIQVV President of the Lincoln Library Board of his ci y. If the question were asked what has been the influence of Phi Alpha over the mind and character of those students who have enlisted under her col- ors, I should reply, looking over the six decades that have passed since the organization of the society, and calling to mind those students whom I have per- sonally known, that great good has been accom- plished. In every line of human effort-industrial, finan- cial, educational, professional, political and ofiicial- I can recall the names of some of Phi Alpha, WIIO have justly wo11 the confidence and esteem of their fellow-citizens in every walk of life.

Orator Ejgygb- Elie Origin of Sigma 'Ili '41-is-43 CDr. Willard, as an active advocate of Simpli- fied Spelling, requests that his spelling be retaind.J Illinois College had a sufficient number of stu- dents to form a society such as is tl1e Sigma Pi sev- eral years before 1843, but Sigma Pi is tl1e first that had life enuf to survive a year. The debating soci- ety, miscald, if I remember rightly, The Philolo- gianj' originated erlyg natural combativness and differences of opinion, with. probably, a spice of love of expression and of display, were sufficient forces to generate and maintain that organization. It ac- cepted as members any who showed a decent interest in its proceedings. If a man did not talk, it was good to have him to make up an audience. I remember that in 1836 '37 an effort was made to form a society of a more literary caracterg but.th1s frail craft was soon wreckt on the shoals of indiffer- ence, That society--I think it was named The Phi Delta -was formd in -mass-meetingg any willing. to join were welcomd. Far different was the.mak1ng of Sigma Pi and of its almost coeval rival, Phi Alpha. A notable change in the caracter of young men entering Illinois College appears about 1840. Rev. Theron Baldwin, one of the Yale Band of the Found- ers and long one of the trustees, said in 1844, giving it as a reason why Willard, despite his notable suc- cess, should not be retaind as a teacher, Illinois College was founded to educate ministers and mis- sionariesf' Its erlier years justified his assertion. But the class that enterd in 1839 and became the class of 1843, the largest so far in the history of the college, ten in number, and in quality the strongest, had but three intending ministers: one of these, Bate- man, abandond that purposeg but Beecher took his place several years after graduation. The tone of the institution changedg the secular prevaild over the ecclesiastic and theological. Law, medicine, busi- ness and teaching thenceforth drew strong men. In the spirit of a new age, there was much dout- ing of old beliefs, and things long held sacred, the church, its creeds and the Bible included, were crit- ically and skeptically examind. Opinions about text, date, and authenticity and authority of parts of the Bible which are now taught by learned orthodox professors, were then branded as infidelity The douting students did not lack a spirit of reverenceg but they examind in serch for truth many things that in erlier times had been accepted on tradition and authority. President Sturtevant said to me that he had been accustomd to associate always disbelief with laxity of moralsg but that he found in these new skeptics the strictest self-restraint and obedience age 44 3.155 V 6 Vol. I2 to the inner and higher lavv of conscience. In this movement Willard was charged With be- ing the chief heresiarchg but he does not claim that honor, he was only one of the leaders, In 1840-'41 Wing was his room-mate, and was equally a leading spirit. H. K. Jones, already a iilosofer, ,joind them in January. and aided the movement. It is easy to see that their rooms would be frequented by similar inquirers for conversations literary, iilosoiical, theo- logical, and serious. Our discussions were never premeditated or formal, they were only familiar talks in style, but were often ernest discussions by lovers of truth, thot eliciting thot, as steel and flint strike fire. To Willard and Wing it occurd that fi formal or- ganization might perpetuate from class to class these symposia, so dear and valuable to us. They saw that if a meeting were cald in the chapel with general in- vitation, there would not be that unity of spirit, that assimilation which they knew to be desirable. In the room of Willard and Bateman a preliminary meeting was held, to which not many Were sum- mond. For curtesy, we invited Starr, the greatest scholar in the class of 1843, who proved to be our first hindrance, he promptly opposedour plan, and insisted upon a public meeting. -There was much heat in the discussion, and for the sake of peace and from policy, the leaders dropt the scheme for a While. But in the last month of that college year a constitu- tion, carefully drawn by Willard, was privately cir- culated, presented to chosen personsg these met and organized the society. I remember these: Jones and Wing of '42g Carter, Catlin, Goudy, Lewis, Lyons and Shaw of '45, Willard and A. F. Hand. Beecher and Bateman were rankt as members for their share in the preliminary work. Nameless at first, the so- ciety adopted its name on the suggestion of Willard during the first year. I Being thus formd' of concorda.nt elements, the society survived the dangerous period of infancy. In its unity was its strength, its vitality. - - SAMUEL WII,I4ARD, '48.

Battershellg Academy Hall, Emma Leonard. I 'Dag .53 mf We Ebe Christian Tfxssociations - Vol. I2 The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. stand for the best things in college life and strive to unite all cliques and crowds in a common purpose-that of spiritual growth and Christian living. In the words of President Rammelkamp, they are an indispensa- ble feature of our college life. We shall all be bet- ter men and women if we make this common eifort to seek after righteousness. The effect of the Christian Associations upon the lives of Illinois College students is shown by the number of graduates who have given their lives completely over to Christian service. The associa- tions each year, through their weekly meetings, pre- sent the call of the ministry, the foreign field, and the association, thus exerting a remarkable influence toward inducing students to devote their lives solely to the great service of the Master. Several Illinois College students are in the foreign field, a number are in Y. M. C. A. work, and a large number are in the Christian ministry. The call for Christian men and women to the otl1er professions-law. medicine and teaching-is also presented through the weekly meetings, and the associations aim to present the broad, unselfish life of Christian love and service in every profession and walk of life. It is tl1e aim of these organizations also to assist in developing a wholesome college spirit and a feeling of brotherly love and friendly, helpful companionship. The associations this year have endeavored to carry forward the important Work for which they were designed. Bible and Mission study classes have been maintainedg the regular Weekly meetings have been heldg the associations have tried to be of help to the new students, and trust that they have been of service to all students in their efforts to live a Christian life. The Y. M. C. A. room-in Beecher hall has been redecorated, and is an attractive place of meeting. The Y. W. C. A. has now permanent headquarters at a room in Whipple, which has been equipped so as to make a delightful meeting place for the girls in their religious work. Among the many organizations which offer en- ticing attractions to energetic, ambitious students, may the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.-the most im- portant of all-be given the consideration they de- serve and be allowed to do the greatest service that a college organization can do for a college man or woman. -page 54 mtg Veba Vol. I2 1909-10 F.

But why my mind should fancy such a thing as a chapel exercise at Illinois College I do not understand. Yes, it was chapel time and amidst a cloud of tobacco smoke and with lIll1Ul1 ,iostling about, I clambered in with the other boys through the north door of Jones, while the co-eds with sacred air entered through the door in the opposite wall. Cecil Clark and Warren began at once a fistic encounter in the middle section, while Morrison Worthington aroused hostility in the Prep section. Herb Colton corralled his singers and after pushing Schwarz behind the screen, they seated themselves in the choir loft. Just then there was a buzz! 'Phe organ pealed. Doc Ames and'Miss Cole entered through the faculty door and amidst applause proceeded to their stations in the rear. I next beheld Prexy . He entered clothed in his royal purple, preceded by the guest of honor and followed by his retinue of humble servants, the Dean and Beal. They seated upon the platform, at which time Harris entered like a house afire and with a sweeping glance over the admiring Caccent on ad- miringj audience, perambulated to a seat in the rear. The President arose and as he did so, Beal tip- toed to the switchboard and turned on every light in the room before he found out the one that illu- minated the platform. Prex shuflied his list of announcements and began: There will be a Junior class meeting in Jones 1 at noon today. Clfdwards, 011 the front 1'ow, snickered out loud and received a piercing glance from the Dean.J Mir Clark has asked me to annouce that his Homer's 'Iliad' has been misplaced, and if anyone knows of its whereabouts he would greatly appreciate the information.

The choir, students and faculty arose, while the choir, the Dean and Prexy sang Holy, Holy, Holy. The President next announced page 14, selection 32, and started to lead in responsive reading, but be- fore he concluded, the leadership was transferred to Ira Underwood and Hargraves, wl1o won out in the race by a liberal margin of three verses. Miss Anderson sounded tl1e note and a few of the girls assisted the choir in singing the Gloria,' until they came to the A-men , when all voices joined in and the accent was loud and prolonged. The audience was then seated. The Dean im- mediately began moving l1is hands and arms around in a mysterious manner until a Prep on the north side concluded he needed more air and openeda win- dow. The Dean regained composure. The President ad vauired toward the front of the platform, propped himself against the pulpit and as he polished his glasses, began: I dou't think - that it is necessary to say - this morning - that this historic old institution - is proud - of the men - wl1o have gone out - from its portals.

I considerit - a great privilege - and no less - an honor - to present as the chapel speaker- of the morning - Dr. James C. McWherter - of tl1e class of 81. Mr. McWherter arose with a profound bow to the President, advanced to tl1e front of tl1e platform, took a sweeping glance at his audience, removed his watch and chain from l1is vest, cleared l1is throat and began: President Rammelkamp, Dean Hayden, Young Ladies and Gentlemen of Illinois College:-l wish to put myself right by first assuring you that I am no orator.

More funny things have happened, and M iss B has been a perfect dear. .lust yesterday some of the girls played the best joke 011 Ethel Heep and Zella Routzong. They'1'e the girls I told you about in my last letter--about Ethel study- ing so hard and Zella having afternoon chapel at Whipple. Well, while they were asleep in Ethel's room, three of us other girls tied the door with trunk ropes and straps so tight that I don't believe Sam- son could have broken through Cwe've just been studying about him in Bibleb. Then the dinner bell rang, and we all went down to dinner, and when those girls woke up a11d found they were tied up they made such an awful racket that you could hear it down stairs, and Miss B. got alarmed. But we quieted her down by fixing up a story of some sort fthe other girls did, I didn'LJ. Mr. Kritch was at dinner that evening, and I imagine he thought that there was something up. Miss B. knew that Ethel and Zella weren't at the table, but I suppose the rea- son she didn't say anything was because of her com- pany. Well, it wasnlt very long until Zella and Ethel came running down stairs and took their places at tl1e table, about ten minutes late. Well, don't you know, I just couldn't keep from giggling all the rest of the meal. And l1ow those girls got out of tl1at room? Why, mamma, don't you know Zella actually crawled out through the transom. I can just see her now, and Ethel said she had an awful time boosting her through. Then she got some scis- sors from my room and cut the ropes and let Ethel out. And the other afternoon, when the High SchoolS had a meet at the College, one of the girls went to the meet, contrary to Miss B's orders, and she was deprived of all privileges for a week Too bad, tool She l1ad made a date with a young fellow, who came to the College a short time ago from DePauw, and Miss B. made l1er cancel it. O yes, and we fixed that Prep boy, who is so ever- lastingly persistent in his attentions to the girls l1ere at the Hall. He was turned down last week by ten different girls. I even had to say No, and the cl1emist1'y professor got stung just as bad. Some of those boys are so terrible! I wouldn't mind going with tl1e1n once in a while if they would dance with- out stepping all over your feet, but they just make a person ridiculous. hank You!
