Rig Veda XIX is an expression of life On the Hill for the college year nineteen sixteen and seventeen. In it, by words and pictures, we have endeavored to give as complete a story as possible of the year's events. It would be strange indeed if some things of interest were not omitted, for we have here to record a most successful year for Illinois College. Of the measure of this success the following pages will testify. We hope that you will read them with pleasure for we have tried to catch a little of our college spirit in this book. May it be, in times to come, yet another bond of friendship between us, and another link of love and loyalty for OLD ILLINOIS. .

We are outward bound, indeed, Old Illinois. We are outward bound at last. But who shall speak of our journey's end, or who shall say what craft it is we sail-an Argo or a Flying Dutchman? Shall we truly see the Golden Fleece? Say, shall we find it on the mystic oak? Or must we founder in mid-sea, and circle forever on the ghostly wave? There are hazards on the deep-the tempest and the darkling reef, the derelict and the buceaneer. Pray God, we may escape them all. And you, and you, my brothers, whose vessel lies unfinished in the stays, we think of you, for you must follow us, as we 11ow follow others. From you, Old Illinois, from you we learned what things are precious in this world, what things are not, so' that we shall be wise in barter wheresoe'er we la11d, knowing well the garnet from the ruby, copper from gold, and the true amber from the false. Though we find not the Golden Fleece, we lnay still return to port with many fair and many wondrous things. If we bring neither jade nor peaeocks, sandalwood nor pearls, perhaps we may send you, from the distant dawn, one bealn of living glory: that whe11 the ocean and the air went wild, we did our duty at the helm and in the shrouds. But seel the sun shines, and the fresh wind blows from every gal- liard cloud, then, while we view the harbour, hear the bell-Old Illinois, Farewell! 1 , 1 18 A A' A x -l+4 Q ' 1. ..'.,4r' 2- - fm :H 2 i E . 5 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS S President ...... .......

I can believe you, Bill, when you say that fussin is your favorite game, you give most of your tilne to it. I fancy, and should be a ditticult opponent. As a matter of fact, you are. If you remember, I once asked you what was your hobby, and you told me, Bill, that it was arguing. But Bill, why is it you must always get red in the face in the tourney of reason? YVhy not despatch your antagonist in a manner cool and delib- crate? You could do it just as well, and with more applause, I'm sure. Nevertheless, I confess you do it anyway. You have always that dapper, alert air which would seem to bespeak an all-sutticient self-confidence, yet you tell me, Bill, that you do think the Lord can help you out once in a while. For you, Ping Bodie is the one great man of historyg he cuts occasionally, you say, and that's the reason. Not a bad Llgiitbgr fZ15,7, one, I think. I almost agree with you, for subscribers I owe much to Ping myself, though on other N A-7, ' ,., , grounds. Some day, you'll be a great iinan- -s . .

It isn't very surprising. though, is it? You generally find him wherever there's anything going on. He's usually mixed up in it too. Always ready for a scrimmage or a good lime,-if, indeed, in his vocabulary they are not synonymous. Versatile is the adjective that suits him exactly. An extraordinary athlete, a good student, a good fellow, and a lady fusse1 '--quite a combination! However, I don't think you would hear about any of his accomplishments from him. Hc's a modest little violet. Just ask some one else and you will get a characteristic reply whose truth is not at all detracled from hy the rather promiscuous style, for example:- You've got to hand it to hiln. He's a regular guy. 5 , I ra -lm Q J w 'fa 1 r.oBEn'r1v1. CAPPS A J.u:KsoNvlI.l.ls, I1.I.lNols Whipple Academy 1913. Sigma Pi, Vice-President '16, President '16, Critic '17. Ora lorical Assn.

Bob, more generally known as Skinnay , has in Illinois College a record which will rank well with the record of the historic Capps family. A member of the third generation, he has displayed that clear, analytical thinking ability characteristic of his ancestors. Though reserved in manner. his worth was easily discovered by his fellow stu- dents and hc has been given no small part in the activities On the Hill. This Big Veda of which he is thc Editor-in-Chief, speaks more forcibly than words of his sterling qualities. Bob has dignity but not without humor. His clever stories are always welcomed by the fellows and have been something of a factor in gathering about him a large number of friends.

It was Bill Russel this morning, Bill Berryman at noon, and now it'sxyou, Bill Kitner. I come to you, Bill, at the setting of the sun, and as I have often marvelled at that sun, its splendor and its age, even so have I marvelled at you. For you, too, have a sort of radiance about you, not once can I recall you listless, or down-in-the-mouth. I wonder whether you carry your volubility to your couch. You said, 01100, that talking was your hobby, and one too often indulges his hobby, you know. It was a fad of yours, I believe, to hunt pedigrees, and I have once or twice come upon you in the library, with a thick tolne before you, from which you copied the ancestry of some Span- ish Don.

True, he had proclivities, but who would have suspected that he would become a famous fusser . AH, Mitch, you jolly dog! And once he thought of majoring in Latin. But he soon found himself. Moreovet, he found football and girls. At the former he is a bear , and as to the latter -1 you should see the book in which he keeps track of his dates.

Well, Bill, it's no lie to say I've listened with real interest to the yarns you told me now and then, the exploits of such a one, or perhaps the doings of yourself. You managed to run in a good many expressions with no place in the dictionary, and no credit hereabout, but having a natural suggestiveness that was worth more than orthodoxy. I like to see you smile, Bill, just as I like to eat a good meal when I'm hungry, or hear af kind word when I'm blue, it does me good, and your face was made for smiling, Bill. Do you still buy candy for the girls? You used to buy it for the co-eds, you know. Ah, Bill, though you have tusseled on the gridiron times out of mind, I fear it has softened, rather than toughened that heart of The bookrrorex- yours. NVe took education together, Bill, just as we have taken several other things, and perhaps you remember how, in the course of a recitation, you'd .-,andy fall asleep, perhaps two or three times. Do you know I used to envy you that unconcern that enabled you to go off that way--right under Bob- inson's nose-for I would have liked to do it my- lla self. But slumber did not dull your brain, and 5, when you woke-if perchance you did so before the hour was up--you could talk as well as the best. I'll say good-bye to you, Bill Russel, but I'm hoping to see you again some day, when luck is bad and sympa thy runs low. 6 Q , -,- 3 : rc .I largest orner ,A ft .

Last year he and several others were ditlerent enough to leave college rather precipitately, creating, incidently, quite a stir. We are glad to have him back again to graduate with '17. He needs no introduction on the Hill for he has been universally admired and well liked. He will be remembered asa hard tackler on the field and a most upright, evenhanded dispenser of .Iustiee on the Bench, where his stentorian tones caused many a culprit to tremble. Nor will he be forgotten for his abilities as a fusser. icgop- C An absolutely straightforward, true the twill 'agp 'ff' blue good fellow, Harry is.

Illinois cannot have too many students of Royal's stamp. Four years of wrestling with his Latin and Greek and in following the amazing intricacies of the elusive X have given him a certain studious determina- tion that always makes a strong bid for final accomplislnnent. But the languages of the ancients have not claimed all of his attention and although he has more than once made notable Math sharks look to their honors, he has taken an active though unassuming part in student activities. Although Royal usually attends strictly to A5 R,y,1,.,,iSh, have business, contrary to his bachelor habits of his loomed. ivtthose good first two years here, the last two have been If 1- old days marked by frequent dates With a little more fs., Q time at his disposal we can imagine him a con- 'DQT Q firmed fusser.

Phi Alpha. ics, B. S. There are born poets, and orators and even born pinochle players but never till the present had we heard of a born mathematician. In fact, we would still be inclined to doubt that anyone could take the differ- ential equations as a prohibitionist to water if it were not for Doc'7 Humphrey. If anyone ever was born with a logarithm in his mouth it was Doc. Ever since he hit the Hill he has whizzed through the mathe- matical curriculum so speedily he has made the faculty dizzy. Also and perhaps consequently Doc is some lady fusser. He doesn't make much noise about it but those who know him best say -0- but they refuse to say. For any man who V can raise mathematics to an art and reduce fuss- A X ing to an exact science we have nothing but re- , spect and admiration.

You might take him for any one of a thousand of young grads that step up to get the passport to life. But when he speaks-well, then people turn around to see. Henry broke on our firmament like an unlooked for meteor and with the brilliance and lumination of such a body quite eclipsed the lesser stars. Quite naturally, and reserved to those with whom he is not intimate, he appears on the surface a cold genius but beneath this covering and beneath his Johnsonian characteristics, he is not so different from the rest of us.

XVhen we were young and believed in Santa Claus, Jack Frost and William Jennings Bryan our mother used to sit at our knee and read us Aesop's fables. One of the most fabulous of all and one that we will never forget was the one about the Tortoise and the Hare. Now we never knew what they were 1'unning for and we can't remember just exactly who got elected, however we have remembered the moral which runs something like this, The swiftest man is not always the fastest. And all of that brings us to Ray Berry. Illinois College has never known a more consistent, heady and steady fellow for A some time. Hay has had an up-hill route all the way but hard work and an innate adaptability to all circumstances has brought him out on top. Illinois College and Phi Alpha will miss him when he goes. 34 Major-Mathematics and Phys- W, .. -t. ..

But even so, she has had the pleasure of seeing many of these dreams realized during the four years of her active life on the Hill. You see Grace got the habit when she was a Freshlnan of doing things up brown and the habit stuck. Now in the wisdom and experi- ence of her Senior year her success as a leader is history. Her greatest alnbition is to see the Co-eds getting all they deserve and their position forever made strong by the establishment of a XVOIIIZIIIQS Building, suitable ,Them pillars. for their many and strong activities.

BERRY Pl'l 1'sF11s1,n, Il.L1Nols Pittsfield High School. Phi Alpha. Ma jor-Chemistry, A. B. Many weird and wonderful things happen in Pike County. The clouds sail serenely against the wind, the fish yelp at the moon, the mosquitoes carry off' strangers in the dead of night and the frogs die of malarial fever. It is reputed that the natives use water as a beverage. have wehbed toes and fingers and die when they are taken out of the county and put 011 dry land. However that is as may be. Uther things have happened in Pike County that are of infinitely greater importance and chief among them was Chester Berry. VVhen Chester first came out of the mud flats, shed his scales and assumed human shape, Illinois College 4 said derisively, What! Can anything good come out of Pike County? Chester answered fg not a word. He settled down and went to work and at the end of four years of consistent, quiet and persevering work he has gained the reputa- tion ofa sincere, amiable and worthwhile fellow. We feel sure that good luck will attend his efforts in whatever field he applys himself. 39 JOHN IKOBEIYI' DELESS XVe dimly remember having read in our English hooks, about a eon- troversy concerning the unities of the drama. Some one, we believe, insisted on preserving them, whatever they were. But the point is'--there are likewise unities of personality. and Gohhie Del,ess observes them. For one could scarcely imagine a husyhody gifted with GolJbie's musical southern accent. They simply wouldn't mix. As easily combine insincer- ity and lukewarm faith with his straighlforwardness and his whole- hearted loyalty. If Gobhie lnade a great stir in school politics he wouldn't he Gohhie at all. Gobbie lacks a few of the credits required for graduation this spring and while, for his sake, we regret it, the underclassmen cannot help being a little glad of the chance of knowing him another year. For all of us know Gohbie for what he is4a sure enough worthwhile fellow a11d a gentleman-we all know him and love him,-and that's all there is to say. 40 JULIAN Nllili FHISBIE The class of '16 regretted the loss of three strong members of its senior year, one of whom returns to graduate with '17, Not one of these is more sorely missed on the campus than Julian Frisbie. Friz seemed to be connected with almost everything that was going on the Hill, no matter where, how or at what time. Among other things, he was one of the finest athletes ever enrolled at Illinois. We have often read of him as the Demon or perhaps the YVhirlwind of the gridirong our oppo- nents greatly feared him on the basket ball floor and usually followed him down the straightaway of the track. But despite this, we do not believe that Friz is as mueh missed on our athletic teams as he is missed as one of the fellows. He was a good loser. and generous to a fault. He was always a good companion and comrade. Can we say any more i'or him? Friz failed to graduate with his class but we believe he will be remembered as Frisbie of the class of 'l7. 41 r If B.

It was the year of 1914. A long, sultry Sum- mer faded into Autulnn. The corn was all threshed, the potatoes husked, the onions shocked, the lettuce baled,-that is the let- tuce was all,-fOh bother what do they do to lettuce 'IJ At any rate it was Autumng you know the symptoms. The frost was on the pumphandle, the dew on the mortgage and the phone on the blink. Ducks, millionaires and hobos flew to their southern home. Coal went upg screens came downg cash gave out and a llltlll near Oskaloosa discov- ered the first Robin of next Spring. The leathery-handed son of soil squandered his Sun1mer's savings in one ecstatic and lllllull' lin round of Song, Siren and Sody. The wise townsman carried his cash in buckets and carefully locked his carat of coal in the safe. Spring Styles appearedg the Turkey grew pensiveg pole cats, muskrats and straw hats hibernatedg the hen's union went on a strikeg the cow jumped over the moon carrying with him the price of beefg the 47 6 grocer bought another Ford and a man was hit over the head and robbed of an egg. There was no doubt about it. Autumn ban come. And in Autunm, you know, Illinois Col- lege opens. So il was in 1914. The janitor returned from his vacation at Palm Beach, mowed the campus, woke ll1e faculty, dust- ed otf the eurrieulum, wrote the Dean's prayer for the ensuing year and the college that standeth on the hill was ready for busi- ness. Yea verily, and great was the business thereof. Scarce had Prex changed his eol- lar and unhooked his Glad to see yours pay the Secretary, smile than there was a mighty rustling in the sticks, yea a mighty murmur from the meadow- It was the return of the Rah-Rah. Then it was the more often stewed than studious student. left behind him the supreme dullness of chicken pie three times a day and a feather bed at night, boarded yesterdays NVabash and returned to the wild and care free life of the Dormitory. Then it was that the fair 48 co-ed kissed her Monday man goodhy, memorized her last year's 't0h how lone- some stutl' for her Tuesday man and re- turned. Then it was that the Professorial stall' paeked their real selves in moth halls for the winter, sighed and returned. And last hut not least, then it was that the class of 1918 came. Up from the sticks they came, these knights of the cuekle-burr and eamhric queens, with clear eyes, clean limbs and minds unsoiled hy learning. Pure and fresh as the dew-washed sod of primeval morn they were and almost as green. They came from the cou11try, true, hut it is no dis- grace to come from the Country if you but come quickly. They turned their backs on their homes and the old familiar faces and. full of youthful hope and country cooking. hent their steps hill-ward, surged through the memorial gates out upon the campus and mingled with the sod. Such was the coming of the class of 1918. That was exactly how it happened. There 49 was nothing startling or unusual about their iirst appearance and subsequent behavior. They were quite tlll average bunch. I11 fact, they were almost abnormally average. They didnit rush in and grab all the honors. Wliztt was the use. They had four perfectly good years before them in which to deliver ine goods. They never butted in, and when it came to talking about tllCll1SClVCS, they were about as blatant as thc turtle-dove and as self-assertive as the mountain daisy. The clam had nothing on them. And therein lay the cleverness of the whole thing, they knew they :vera great' and never said ll word about ft. Wllzlt more is there to say? The first year was a year of discovery and adjustment. They were finding out the things that every student should know. Within a week they could locate the Drexel and WOlll2ll1,S College blindfolded, within an month they knew the age and telephone number of every birdie in the High-school and before the year was out they could tell over half of the faculty if they saw theln on l ,4, W 1 1 I I 1 1 1 'S wam.:J1z:e::: . r 50 , ll I, , 'E l A4 u 1. 1: ill M lr I r 4 1 1 I A 1 4 1 1 i Q ll il the campus with a book under their arm. You will notice that I treat the matter en- tirely from a masculine standpoint. Tha: is due to the fact that the author is a mem- ber of the masculine sex and has been so as far back as he can remember. I hope the ladies will pardon me. In that melnorable first year the class of 918 unriddled many enigmas that remain to the rest of us insolu- ble. They discovered why Earl Sooy goes out for Athletics, where Jimmy Capps gets his neckties, when George Barretle sleeps, how Fred Blum curls his hair, and where the laugh comes in on Prof. Leavitt's jokes. Towards the end of the year one scintillaz- ing youth announced that he had found out whether Johnny Ames bleached his hair or hlacked his eyebrows. If anything slipped by them, it was well greased. Their second year they tore up, that was all. They in- vented a new step, mastered the masse shot, wrote a hook on fussing and gave Prex auctioneer's eramp calling special faculty sessions. It is rumored that there were even 51 some who studied but this is merely inci- dental, perhaps even accidental and should not be held against them. At the end oi their third year they look back on a long line of conquests. They-but their reputa- tion speaks for them. They do not have to boast. The only reason why I have been induced to disclose so much as I have is because I wish to show the world that virtue is not its only reward and that you cant keep a good class down. I had a dream the other night. I often dream. One night I dreamed that I went to heaven and found the faculty there. The idea was so quaint and amusing that 1 laughed myself awake. However that is beside the issue. As I said before, I had a dream the other night. I dreamed that I went back to Illinois College in 1950. The old place was changed. The janitor had washed the Dormitory windows, George Garrison had graduated, a brick had fallen out of Beecher and Prof. Clark was deliver- ing a new set of lectures. That was how I kncwitmmsacheanr Iuwntuptotheodke 1 'Ht uhh'. n ' imwmwrw 'm 'wrwmwvv , xmwiw 1 I' ,.,...t.,..m,.. ,.,.,. ,at . ,..a,f, H. 52 illlll talked to the President. He was a pleasant llltlll by the name of lliehard Gur- IICY. He was graduated valedictorian of hls class in 1935. I told him I was a member of the class of 1918. He fell on 1ny neck. I raised and comforted him. I told him, as I wiped a damp sob oft' of my shoulder, that I had bee11 away for a lo11g time and wanted to l1ear about llly class. He took a chew, kissed tl1e stenograplier Zlllll began as fol- lows. My dear Sir, you have the honor of bei11g a member of 0110 of the most distin- guished and noble classes that was ever graduated from any American Institution. They are the leaders of their profession. One young lad, Nvatkins by IIZUTIC, went out into the world without a cent in his pockets tlllil today he is the best Sll0ClllilkC1' i11 the penitentiary.

There are members of the class of 18 scattered 53 throughout the U. S. from Kewanee to Key XVest, from Hell's Gate, Halifax to the Golden Gate San Francisco. There are '18ers in Bagdad, Chowehow, Honkong and Sing- sing. There are '18ers in Touluse, Tou- lounge, Tulieres, too 11u1nerous to mention. They are the salt of the earth. He leaned across confidentially to lne and whispered in my ear. I am writing a book entitled 'Why all great Men and Women belong to the Class of Nineteen Eighteenf I shall have it printed on India Linen, bound in vel- lum, 161110, tall and selling at 21436.00 a ser.

We do not like to criticise the Bible, hut il is the truth that no mention is therein made of our ereation hy Jehovah on the Seventh Day. This was the day of Rest and we were the spirit of Rest. From the first we were a dominating power. We molded the affairs of mankind. YVe were a great spirit. History is full of our deeds. NVQ knew personally Adam, Cain, Methusalah, Noah and others. We were aboard the famous ark during the tlood. No one saw us, you say, and there is no record of it. Oh, my dear sir, you cannot see a spirit. Such times we enjoyed in the old ark. Every moment was precious. It was 57 one l0llg period of rest. My friend, said Noah one morning as we reclined in our upper berth. 'tl long for the time when I can again walk about on terra tirma, to escape for a little while the presence of my wife. Oh, the lovely days of old! He wept softly as he said these last words. Cheer up, Noah, we replied, thc present is the only time we live in. Why, the first thing when you land, you may step on a sharp shell, get blood poison and die. And he was comforted, gave thanks to God and fasted for three weeks. After the flood we went south. The tropics are the place for rest. How well we remember Cleopatra! 011 one occasion fshe had been reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead and was feeling friskyj she called Caesar by his given name. S'Julius, she said frivolously, life is an awful thing. I think I am going to die. Of course Caesar was very angry and stalked from the room. Caesar, said we then, 'tYou've made her cry. Remember what ll1e Talmud says, 'Men should be careful lest they cause women to weep, for God counts their tears. These incidents have little material importance, but they are inter- esting and are not to be found in any history. We feel justified in con- tinuing. We were in Russia once. The only comment we made upon leaving was, 'tHoodaya Gorrodishkaf' which translated means awful hole. We have been in all lands and are consequently noted linguists. We are now in the second year of our stay here, and our course has been as ever. VVe are still puissant, still true incarnations of the Spirit of Rest. If we have one fault, it is vanity, but who would not be vain, having so much to be vain about. Review the whole category of human tlClll0V0lllC1liS, and discover one that we have not accomplished. We are conquerors, for we have subdued the untamed and ferocious Freshmen. XVe are Saints, for we have all attended Chapel, and two of us own Bibles. We are heroes, for who of us has not gone unprepared, bravely, without even a crib, to an exam. All know of our triumphs in the field of art. Look at our wqmen painters. Truly, they are good to look upon! Lastly we are great builders, for we have built up a reputation such as few other bodies possess. Prexy often speaks to us about it. These are our achievements. They imply all the virtues save modesty, and the fact that we do not vaunt of our victories over the Juniors adds this one. Fame? YVhy, the only man in college whose name is known by Prof. Tanner is a Soph- omore. Let others boast of their doings! Let the sapient Senior gravely go his way. Let the supercillious Junior cavil at will! Let the irresponsi- ble Freshman gibber foolishly. It is for us to continue unostentatiously in our present course. Let others praise us! And when we at last come to the tilne of our dissolution as a class, may our successors be not so degenerate as to try to emulate us, nor an eneomiast of sutticient worth be wanting to eulogise us!

D afternoon, as the round sun heaved lazily down the western skv. He called to him the heedless Freshman who had just passed, took him on his knee and spoke to him earnestly. Well he remembered his own child- hood and those sweet reminiscences brought with them a desire to help this sturdy youngster over the rough places of life. My son, he began, smiling down into the bright and handsome face of the Freshman, I trust you have improved your time this day as you should. It would truly be a pity of so promising a lad as vou were to fritter away his time. Oh ves, sir, I study diligently from morn till dewy eve, the 1,141 re mlied. Sometimes, alas. he added wistfullv. I wish that I m'ff . ig it 61 ici romp and play like other boys, for 1ny books 2l1'L' very troublesome. Ah, you mustn't feel that way. Sometime your books will prove the least of your troubles-and troubles never come singly,-that's why the class of 1920 is the largest that ever came to Illinois College. Remem- ber, my boy, continued the .Junior, 'as the twig is bent, so is the tree inelinedf Also, 'the ehild is father to the man.' Habits of study formed in youth will remain with you, a blessing through all your life. But on the other hand, if you devote these golden hours to fussing, smoking, loaiing, penny-matching, housebreaking, murder and high treason. those propensities will become just as persistent. Avoid these things as you would evil, and whenever you earn a nickel, run and drop it right straight into your bank. And so-fsome day you, too, will be a Junior, or, per- haps, even a Senior. NVho knows ? The child's eyes widened naivcly at such a quaint idea and the heart of the Junior warmed to tl1e artless boy. He gave him a penny. The happy Freslnnan cried out for joy, and, clambering down from the Junior's knee, he trotted around the corner where he had left his half- smoked Omar and rejoined his crap-galnc. 62 V N 63 ., V K, President .....

Little introduction she now needs to the fellows on the Hill! There are very few of us, indeed, who haven't eaten at her tables at least a few times, but the Club is not the same as it once was. Not many seasons ago Club House Grub was a standing joke, but times have changed. The fellows fully appreciate the way Mrs. Carpenter has taken care of them and wish here to make some expression of their gratitude. 68 CI-IAlll.EY ROBINSON Wllellevei' the light fuse burns out or the radiator rattles, they eall Charley. Surely the janitorship demands a veritable Jack-of-all Trades and Charley fits into it perfectly. Apparently he can do anything. Moreover, he's as quick with his repartee and his ready wit as he is with his wrench and hammer. Although he is constantly being imposed upon he manages, somehow, to keep his good humor under almost every circumstance. Always ready to lend a hand, to tell a joke, or to take one in good part, where would you find another like him? 69 p-..4ayw1'Y ' JUNIOR PROM-1915 This small picture may serve to help you recall what the old Gym looked like the night of Our Prom , the 19th of December, 1915. The Gym must have swelled witl1 pride that evening, for it was surely trans- formed. We will never forget it for it was well worth the labor. After spending long days and longer evenings, pinning endless yards of cheesecloth and fastening evergreen in place we knew we should never forget it and yet what comes back more than the thought of the Herculean task was how the Gym looked that night. Every class must have a warm place in its heart for its Prom and yet in spite of our-recognition of this fact we cannot help feeling that there never was a Prom like ours. It was a Prom. Anyway the Immortal Gods never put on a Prom for if they had the deed would have been immortalized for us in myth and legend. 70 l W IIIIIVMUIIEIllllllhllllllllltmWlllilllillllllIIIIHIIIIHQZ ..JI-IIIII'IIII-IIIIH---IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII r I MWA IX 117- VN TX w I - lj 4 . 9 I '-. i 71 PHI ALPHA orrlcnlis President .......... .......... .....

Alumni of the Society were convened from Colorado, New York, Missouri, Pennsylvania and other parts of the country and contributed to make this reunion the most enthusiastic and successful in the history of the Society. The representatives chosen to address the assembly were chosen wisely and never were toasls so excellently responded to. Shortly after six o'clock the members began to arrive at Beecher Hall where an hour was spent in airing reminiscences and renewing old acquaintances. Many of the old members viewed for the first time the improvements on and additions to the old halls and the younger members were praised for their enterprise. It was after seven o'clock before adjournment was taken to the gymnasium where an elegant banquet was served. Follow- ing the banquet that was wholly to he praised, Thomas Mangner, presi- dent of the Society, introduced the toastmaster of the evening, W. E. Sampson '98 of Springfield who, as master of ceremonies, carried things ofl' in a manner that left nothing to be desired. Mr. Thomas XV. Smith, one of the speakers of the evening, spoke of the memorial fund for the seven founders of Phi Alpha and asked the Society to pledge the amount necessary to complete the fund. Within a few minutes the amount was oversubseribed. During the evening Hugh Wilson '02, Frank Bristow '03, formerly of Gamma Nu, and Fairbank Smith '16 were voted into membership in the Society. As indicative of the friendlier feeling that has 2ll'lSCl1 between the Societies on the Hill, Sigma Pi sent greetings and best wishes which were promptly answered in the same friendly spirit of good fellowship. One of the noteworthy incidents of the gathering was the presenta- tion of a Bible belonging to the late NVilliam Jayne of Springfield, the last of the founders of the Society and its first president. The presenta- tion was made by S. NV. Nichols '68 who paid a glowing and fitting tribute to his memory. The Bible was one that Mr. .layne's mother had given him and was presented to the Society through his son YVilliam Jayne, upon solicitation of a committee of Phi Alpha who sought some keepsake from the notable founder. During the evening the Society enjoyed speeches from, George W. Govert '95, President Rammelkamp, Rev. Charles M. Eames '04, Rev. Allan A. Tanner '88, Fred H. Rankin, Edward Capps '87, R. A. Campbell Ex. '61, Walter Heath '16, Hon. Andrew Russel, Charles S. Rannels and Rev. Thomas XV. Smith '87. The Committee in charge of the reunion was composed of S. W. Nichols Chairman, Carl Robinson, XValter Heath, Arthur Gustafson and Paul YVatkins. 73 First Semester Robert Capps. . . Hansel W'ilson. . Fred Bray ...... Ira Fanning. . . . Earl Sooy. . . . . .

It can no longer be said of the eo-eds that they have nothing to do with student activities outside of the demands of the class room. Interest this year seems to have centered on the YVoman's Building. Besides a number of smaller efforts the girls have several larger under- takings to their creditg one the management of the sale of tickets for the production of t'Vanity Fair at the Grand, and later the staging and production of three playlets at the I. S. D. Auditorium. These plays, The Florist's Shop, Joint Owners in Spain, and Colombine, were given under the direction and management of Miss Elson Barnes whose efl'orts were largely responsible for the success of the enterprise. More recently, on the 12th of May, the girls produced the Dandelion Fete, quite a large undertaking, for the joint benefit of the girls' activ- ities. The Fete was written for this occasion especially, by Mrs. Frances Humphrey of this city and was staged under the direction of Miss Willi- fred Kates of Chicago. Much credit reflects on the management for the degree of success attained for it was a difficult task to teach the more or less difficult dances to the large nulnber of small children that took part in them. It is evident that a campaign begun so successfully and carried on so persistently even after the first enthusiasms have passed, can have but one conclusion. It has been a-long time since the whole-hearted, general support of such a large part of our student body has been enlisted in a single undertaking extending over such a long period. It is to be hoped that the College may find a way to give them a little more recognition and substantial support. Evidently the girls have a larger purpose in mind than that single goal, the Womanis Building. They are endeavoring to make Illinois College more attractive to girl students, present and prospective. This is surely a worthy aim and what the girls accolnplish will probably not be as much as they deserve. 79 BlcnuvM.'xN Cares APPLE SIGS DEBATING On the sixteenth of March, Sigma Pi and Phi Alpha met again for the annual Joint-Debate, lo discuss tl1e question, Resolved, that the United States should intervene in Mexico to establish a stable govern- ment. The atlirmative was upheld by the Sigs while Phi Alpha argued for the negative. In every respect the debates of the year were of very high standard. The main speeches of both teams were well worked up and in rebutal the debaters showed thorough preparation. Phi Alpha won the Joint-Debate and lost, afterward to Monmouth, debating the same side of the question as before. The Sig team again defeated Augustana, though this time at Jacksonville. Monmouth again defeated Augustana who has failed to win a single victory in the four years of the triangular debates. In the Rig Veda of last year, some mention was made of the great need here of a Department of Oratory. This year we are glad to see SO Wixriims Nl5SNTl'l'IAI MMU-,N PHIS. that something has at last been done. During the winter, at the instiga- tion of the Oratorical Association and due chiefly to the work of Pro- fessor Ames, the situation of this department at other colleges was inves- tigated and finally a compulsory assessment of each niember of the stu- dent body was passed by the Student Association for the purpose of placing our oratorical activities on a firmer financial basis. The new department has not been organized and may not he for some time to come, but we have at last made the forensic activities a part of the gen- eral student interest and enterprise and relieved the literary societies of the greatest part of the responsibility. Next spring it will be our turn to take care of the State Oratorical Contest, a rather large undertaking. Let us look forward to a great success. 81 DBAMATIC CLUB orrielzns President .....

Nothing could be more timely than this production, for the Tercentenary reawakened all over the col- lege world a new interest in Shakespearian plays and Elizabethan pageantry. It was, indeed, a new stride for our Dramatic club. None of Shakespear's plays lend themselves more readily to out of door setting than the Tempest, and in the little clump of trees just east of Old Beecherf' the picturesque inland-home of Prospero was con- structed. Here for one brief evening the beautiful and fantastic shapes crept from printed page to living, breathing forms. Here the old seer, Ponce, again drew his 111agic wand from the sea and with a gentle wave of his hand convoked men and sprites. The dainty Aerial, followed by her troop of dancers, came skipping down the mountain path, the ship- wrecked lords began their intrigues only to fall into the hands of the unseen power, and the grotesque Caliban, and his motley companions drowned their tongues in sack. The play was even more beautiful and enchanting by the intersper- sion of dances throughout it by the Mayday people, and it seemed truly that P1'ospero, to show the young lovers a vanity of his art, had opened the gate of Fairyland and bade the dancers come forth. 82 The setting was unusually artistic. Great clusters of shrubbery were planted to form the wings, and the orchestra, which was to one side, was completely hidden from view by similar screens. In the back was a long vista down which the airy spirits came dancing. Between the stage and the bleechers was a space analogous to the position of the brook in the Bankside Theater of Shakespear's home city, and on this greensward were seated the piemen, beefeaters, heralds and others in costume. Between the acts, these people served the audience with refreshments in typical Elizabethan fashion. The success of the play and fete was not due to any single person or group, but rather to the united efforts of the students of the College and of conservatory, and the various committees.

It is sometimes the condition of genius, to share the odium of what merit: to be linked with the infirmities of man, at the forw fciture of glory. Swift gave us Gulliver's Travels -but then, you say, he was a misanthrope and a boor. Sterne was the author of 'tTristram Shandy'-but then, he was a libertine and a knave. Poe wrote ten volumes of our choieest verse and prose-but then, he was a drunkard, obscures its a cynic and an ego: EDGAR ALLAN POE Yet surely we must reserve some clemency for him who conscious of weakness, seeks honestly to amend it. We shall not plead this, indeed, 'of Swift or of Sterne, but of Poe, it was memorably true. Nor must we easily forget that his, was not inveterate error. Of the two decades that embrace his authorship, not more than six years are marred by the inlirmities of his natureg and during those six, as during the other four- teen, his invention, was still the tireless tutor of his industry. That he was a cynic, is a charge found nowhere but in the malice of his enemies. That he was an ego, is the wildest calumny. During the most momentous epoch of his life, Poe experienced the harshest severities of fortune: penury and revilement. Yet here, he showed himself more generous than his destiny, for while he starved, yet he gave to literature, story upon story, and poem upo11 poem. Hunger could not fatigue his inspiration, nor raneor subdue it. Witll not a coin in his purse, and scarce a rag upon his back that became his genius and his education, he did for his age, what affluence might well have shunned. In satires and critiques of true Damascan temper. he defended the dig- nity of American letters. Defended it, forsooth, with a pen that stum- bled in fingers stiff' with cold, defended it, while his brief day of happi- ness faded with the, cheeks of her who sat by his side! And they whose fame found lodging with their dust-evc11 they who slandered him first, that posterity might slander him now-must somewhere bear me witness that this indeed, was Edgar Allan Poe. XVhat is it to us, if Poe drank with the tapsters during six sad years? Any man may do that. But where shall we seek him, who lacking the necessities of life, can still find his ideals a sufficient solace, and their defence, more imperative than bread? ....... . It is but just, that we of the present should understand this man with a voice of melody, and a face that never smiled. It is but just that we should hear of the things he loved: of his dear Virginia, of her mother, and of the birds and flowers to which he ministered his care. How much kinder to picture him, not stupified with rum, but rather seated beneath the cherry trees in his garden at Fordham, writing-who 88 shall say what?-for the iiMl1'l'0I',,Z perhaps Bon Bon, or The Imp of the Perverse g for it is Summer, you know, the sun shines, and Virginia is better today .......... Poe's verse is strongly individual. It is striking, beautiful, inspired. But it displays a precision and an exact learning, rare in poetry, and not easily associable with it. It is the work, not purely of a bard, but of an artisan. The flowers of Poe, are the flowers of an ideal horticulture. He speaks of the moon, and you perceive the astronomer. He sounds his bells, and discovers the phonologistg or the dew settles upon a primeval landscape, like the distillations of a retort. An inspiration pervades his learning, and gives it life. Yet the great poet as he was, it is not to his muse that he shall owe his most enduring glory, but to his prose, wherein he gave rein to that variety which he observed had been one of his chief aims, and wherein is found a style, than which American letters, can nowhere show a choicer. There are the waggish hoaxes, the extrava- ganzas, the noble colloquys, the gorgeous fables, the stories of the dia- bolic and horrific. Ill addition, there are treatises and speculative works, more perspieuous than those of Burke and Johnson. Finally we have his style, a style marked by all the elegance that learning, refinement and fastidiousness can impart or exact, a style which at its best, neither the grammarian can impeach, nor the purist disdain. Wliich combines the poise of Addison, with the copiousness of Macaulay, the amenity of the one, with the majesty of the other, grace with power, clarity with ease, and rhythm with flexibility. . . . . The breeze that refreshes us in Summer, may at another season, bring us woe. From the same heaven whence comes the day, comes the night also, and he who gladdens us, lnay at times offend. Yet we do not shun the cooling breeze, the shining heaven, or the loving friend, but consider each, not in imperfeetion Cwhich is univcrsalj but in vi1'tue fwhich is rarej. You shall not, therefore, say of Poe, Behold his errorf' but rather, Behold his excellence! Nay, you shall do more than this. YVhere notice has so long ignored his grave, pity and reverence shall unite their tears, and on the wreath of cypress, cast the bay ...... Many are the hills, and many the altars upon them, and the odors of each, address the great ones of the earth. One hill there is, unerowned by piety: a lofty and a solitary mount. Along its slopes, strange flowers grow, and through the air above it, fly strange birds, and a majestic and a sombre cloud, floats forever round its eminence. And all about, is silence. But anon, there is wide surging up its sides, and lo! an altar rises, girt with flowers! Its pure and radiant front acclaims the sun, th' encircling cloud with golden glory swells, and every hill cries, Poe ! To thee are Beauty, Silence, Life-in-Death, the solemn vales, and the Virgilian seas. To thee, with eyes of awe, shall votive ages come, and to thy name, and to thy name, Preserve a broad approach of Falne, And ever-ringing avenues of song!

The weather man played a large part in the operations of 1916 and several games were cancelled on his account. Soon after the basket ball season closed, candidates for base ball unearthed their paraphernalia and began training for the coming season. The Illinois School for tl1e Deaf sent its loquatious warriors to the I. C. tield for several practice games in which they were easily and decisively beaten. Judging from early season forln, our prospects were exceed- ingly bright. The team journeyed to Normal University for the iirst con- ference game and easily convinced the teachers of Illinois' superiority. Fanning pitched a good game and also added much to the offensive strength of his team. Illinois lost the next game to Wesleyan after one of the prettiest pitching duels of the conference season. Fanning pitched a great game and with better support from his teammates would have won easily. As it was Illinois forced the conference champions to the limit. The season jogged along with varying success to the Blue and YVhite. Hain cancelled several games and Carthage llI2lll2lgCd to win a heart- breaking contest by a close score. Wliell Decoration day rolled around the Eastern Normal team trotted out on Illinois field to run up a bunch of scores before going home. The game lasted sixteen innings and as far as the spectators were concerned was a corker. There was more good and bad baseball exhibited than one usually sees in any sort of ball game. At times both teams played big league form and at others would have disgraced a sand lot. Fanning was forced to pitch the entire sixteen innings for Illinois owing to our lack of pitchers. Pierce saved the day several times by his sensational catches. Illinois will feel the loss of this sterling outfielder in 1917. 98 ..

THE STORY OF Tl-IE SEASON Wllell the season of 1917 opened, sixteen I men returned lo Illinois. With this strong squad of experienced men, and with a large supply of raw material, Captain Frisbie as our leader a11d a feeling of unprece- dented harmony among the players, prospects were good for repeating the remarkable successes of the season of '15, even though we had a hard schedule before us, and many of our hardest games on foreign fields. In two of the three hardest games we were successful, but the fatal day came on November 11 at Decatur i11 the battle for the Conference Cham- pionship. The Millikin Jinx, slaughtered a year ago, came to life 100 again, and wc SlllAl.l'l'0ll lhc only clcfval of thc scason. In gcnvral our luck was goodg wc sul'Tcrcd mosl for lhv lack of an oxpc-1'ic-llcoml pilol. Our game with Blackburn was so vasy lhal nvilhcr our slrcnglh or our wvaknr.-sscs wcro shown.

Thcn camo a hard trip lo lJ0llllJ1ll'llqS iicld against a tram lhal Ill'Yl'l' fails to pul up a dangerous fight. Al no limc during thc game dial our players dare to stop lhcir iicrcc hammrring. Aflcr Frm-nchy Thichaud 101 was forced out of the game by dirty play, they recognized the require- ment of still more effort, and fought the harder because of the bitterness aroused by l-ombard's foul play. Thiebaud, Jones, YVilso11, Mitchell and Frisbie were especially strong on offense while Jackson of Lombard was always to be feared. Against Normal we played a very loose game, with very few plays at our disposal as we had as side-line visitors, Coach YVann and his team from Decatur. Next came the trip to Bloomington where we annexed the game with YVesleyan. Our 26-0 victory was the fourth consecutive victory over VVesleyan. Our chances for defeating Millikin for the Championship were con- sidered about eve11. Enthusiasm ran high and a special train carried three hundred rooters to Decatur, to repeat the victory of the preceding season. But it was all to no avail, for, struggle as we would, we could not defeat luck and Millikin both. Despite tl1c fact that we gained more ground during the game than our opponents, we were obliged to take defeat. Certainly, the deciding factor of the game was leadership. The fierce tackling of the Millikin backfield was especially noteworthy. For our ow11 team, who could forget the performance of that little 140 pounds of nerve, Pierce, who made Millikin tacklers bite the dust time after time with his deadly straight-arm. Never was he tackled so hard that he could not get up with as much fight as ever. Wilsoii, suffering from an injured ankle, played a consistent, hard-hitting game as did Frisbie, Mitchell and Jones. Most of our gains were made on straight, line plunging football, in which Jones especially llltllltl substantial gains. However, when the ball reached striking distance of the enemy's goal, the final punch that had never been lacking i11 any other game for the last two years, failed to appear. It was a heart breaking game for the Illinois rooters, who, nevertheless, took the defeat in good spirit. Following the tragedy, we met Shurtlefl' and in forty-tive minutes defeated our one-time arch-rivals by the score of 47-0. On Thanksgiving day we played the final game of the season with Southern Normal who had held St. Louis University to the low score of 7-0. W'e were again uncertain of our chances of success. After the tirst tive minutes of play, however, there was no doubt as to the out-come for tfaptain Boswall's team proved no match for the blue and white, even though Captain lfrisbie was unable to be with his team-mates. YVith the close of the season, Illinois lost five varsity men, XVilson, Pierce, Frisbie, Mitchell and ltussel. These men have all been stars and it has been their playing, during the last three years, that has put Illinois on the athletic map. Three of them, YVilson, Mitchell and Frisbie, have been awarded positions on the All Conference eleven for the last two seasons. The other two have been as much service to the team as could 'fAll Conference men have been. Wilsoli, Mitchell and Pierce for their 102 The Hogulars running ability, Frisbie for receiving forward passes, and Russel for his well controlled direct passes from center, formed a quintette whose work will not soon he forgotten. During the four years that these men have played Illinois has won 2411- out of 32 games, with a total score of 866 to our opponents 291. Those who have seen NVilson run our opponent's ends,-- have seen Frisbie bring down a forward pass when surrounded by the ene1ny's defense, seen Mitchell put over a touchdown from that old tackle around play, Pierce, picking his way through a broken Iield while Russel demoralized the opposing line, will never need a printed volulne to help them remember this splendid set of players and the records of the past two seasons for which, in so large a measure, they are responsible.

Al times the team dis- played such a relnarkahle combination of speed, team-work and accurate passing that I. C. roolers began lo lalk of prospects of winning the cham- pionship. But at other times the showing was not so good, in fact it was hardly creditable. The summary of the games of the season at lhe end of this review, discloses this great variation in class of playing, hetter lhan anything that can he here said. The Blue and NVhite scored a total of 419 points to our opponent's 415. The overtime game with Millikin was a thriller and the defeat of Eureka attested to the ability of our machine when in good working order, as Eureka ran a close second in the conference tournament, being defeated only by Augustana. 105 Captain Pierce, the only man on the team who might be properly styled a veteran in collegiate basket-ball, needs no further commendation to those who have followed athletics on the Hill for the last few years. Illinois College never had a better representative on any athletic team. His clean, aggressive play was always effective, especially in breaking up the opponent's offensive play. Piereie was always on the job, admired by friends and foes, an example of the good, clean type of athlete that we desire to represent us. Gaylord, who in '15-'16 gained a reputation for his speed and accu- rate work at the forward position, was again on the floor to maintain that justly deserved reputation. Though a victim of close guarding all season, he was still able to leave his opponents far enough in the rear to score 103 points during the season. Hill, also a second year man, though unable to play at all times, was in the game with his old style of steady, untiring fight. Barnes and Cox, both Freshmen, are forwards of whom we expect much in the future. They were always ready to step into the game and do excellent work. Tomlinson, who filled the position at center, did good work, and will make Illinois a great pivot before the close of the season of 1920. Spink at back guard, another inexperienced man, took care of his opponents in great style. He has four years of play before him. Of the remainder of the squad, except Wilson who was in the game o11ly a few weeks, all are under-classmen with several years of athletic competition before them. Among them, Sooy, Dunscomb, Swain and Daigh give promise for successes in the future. YVe repeat, the season of '16-'17 was a successful one.

I. A. A., in the conference meet held on Illinois field in 1916. Captain Hansel Wilson again distinguished himself by winning the indi- vidual honors of the meet, winning the half mile, the quarter mile, and running in the Illinois relay team which took second place. Frisbie, scheduled to take first place in the low hurdles, lost a shoe at the second hurdle and finished the race minus a shoe, taking second, as he did in the high hurdles and the running broad jump. Cannon tied for first place i11 the pole-vault. Others also acquited themselves creditably. Helmle, our strong quarter-mile1', suffered all season from a serious injury but did well as did Sooy and Land, long distance men, Smith, half milcr, Folsom, the midget javelin thrower, and Thiehaud, Newberry and Hcmhrough in thc relay. In addition to the State Meet, there were held on Illinois field the Millikin-Illinois Dual Meet, The WCSlCI'l1 Illinois High School Meet and the Illinois Interscholastic Meet. 107 108 X X,.f 'ji-f ADDLG 2 N L w A 1 1 L . i L I , ff E w I: W. M L.- THE I. C. RUBBERNECK WAGON Step right up, Ladies and Gents. This is the conveyance that shows you all the sights on the Hill. Only five on that seat please. We've tried six but the outside one always falls off. No Madam, you positively must hold the little girl in your lap even though you did pay for her seat. You occupy two yourself. All aboard! Little speed there Oscar! The imposing pile directly ahead, Ladies and Gents, is the Jones Memorial building. As a pile it is a huge success but as a building,-we leave you to draw your own conclusions. It was built in 1896. They say that they started to take down the scaffolding before the wall paper was all on and as a result it took three hours and a quart of glue to repair KlZlll1ilgCS. This building contains the college clock, the girl's gossiping clubs, the Librarian in her native haunts and the girl's cafeteria headquarters. The clean windows upstairs are in the President's oftice. The Janitor understands his job. A little more gas there Oscar! .Just over the rolling greensward and thru that beauteous vista of graceful elms stands the Boy's C01l1ll10llS. Even from here, Ladies and G-ents, you can see the recently installed modern improvements. A smooth, modern cement walk curves up to the broad veranda, whose steps have the very latest designs in augur holes to let out the scrub water. No, Madam, those sheds at the rear are not of recent date. You will note in the Catalog chained to the seat that 'Fifteen bildings make up the college plant.' A little closer, Oscar! The howling mob within, doesn't have to eat here, my good people, but :really seems to enjoy it. That gleaming marble shaft there near the Commons, was erected in 1917 in memory of Jolm Mitchell of the class of '17 who at the greatest risk and with that intrepid valor born of an unquenchable desire to see the right prevail, beat Edgar Decker to the toast plate by a matter of inches. The carven letters on the base immortalize his stirring words uttered on that famous occasion: Then Mich arose, his eyes flashed red. The soup spilled on his knee. Heav'n protect the right , he said, That toast belongs to me!,' .He died from injuries received 011 that occasion and this beautiful tribute was erected by his friends. Throw her in high, Oscar! Now while we roll past the historic pump and under the frowning walls of old Sturt',, on your right, let me call your attention to the won- derful history of this historic ground. The building in the distance was built in the year 1829, which in a few years will be famous for being a hundred years ago, and there seems to be but little doubt that the sur- 110 PIPEIST .Vx -'cXf'l2'b rounding ground has reached that same venerable age. Note the symet- rical form of this remarkable piece of architecture. Note the sweeping lines, the unswept porch, the broken windows, the Boston Bond walls that have withstood the oratory of the years. Note the graceful dip of the aged roof, the informal curl in every shingle that seems to invite the friendly raindrops to mingle with the plaster below. Vtlithin those walls are a mnuber of Greek letters, customs and enough traditions to start a good sized war. Put your helm hard over Oscar, and come back toward Sturt on the windward. This magnificent edifice, Ladies and Gents, contains a variety of smells on the upper tloor and a number of things on the lower. Look! The corpse just thrown from the upper window is undoubtedly that of some young Freshman who forgot, and carelessly breathed a breath of air in the Organic laboratory. Very careless! These accidents are unavoidable, however. Just after the European war the gas masks used in the trenches were tried out here but under these most exacting condi- tions, proved a failure. Little closer, Osca1'! The bronze tablet over the door was placed there in memory of that hero of the famous spring of 1917, Henry Conrad Deterding. While passing along the lower hall one day he noticed a peculiar fizzing noise in the German Department. Ile entered and found a sputtering bomb on the tloor. With his usual savoir faire, calm judgment and perspicacity he threw his bucket ot' water out of the window with all possible speed and made for the door, bomb in hand. Ladies and Gents do not ask me to go any farther. What happened was, indeed, heartrending. His comrade, Hinton, inspired by the awful sight, wrote in a tlash of inspiration that famous outburst of the soul: THE PASSING OF D. All hail the t'hemist Deterding, All hail! the Herald Angels sing. He started toward the distant door, But sooner reached the Heavenly Shore. His clay now lies beneath the moss, Poor Deter was a total loss. All hail-ye brave immortals, NVho once dared any Thing Hear you the tale of D, NVho feared nor God nor me- Way, way for the soul that chortles I, I was Deter- Dingf' Q. 112 Oscar, give her a half left! Now we approach the building sometimes called Crampton Hall. There is a great deal of the mysterious and unearthly connected with this place. Much goes on within those walls, that will never be under- stood by the world. Though kept in immaculate condition by the etticient janitorial staff, it has been infested for years by a species of rat of the genus Dormus. They have so taken the place that of recent years it has become almost uninhabited. Little closer Oscar! In the good old easy days of Grant, Cnot general Grant, but by the way, a cousin of that peerless commander General Cussednc-ssl it was suggested that the room i11 the basement should be called the Rest Room for Janitors, but the plan fell through since any room in the building had an equal claim to the title. The apartments are almost empty now on accountiof the temporary shortage in the city water supply. Only those former resi- dents of the city of Belleville do not seem to mind the deprivation. They are still in evidence. Don't you hear those doleful strains from the upper windows? It sounds like some poor dumb animal in pain but it isn'tg that's the Dorm quartet. This afternoon they are holding a special musical meeting in honor of their one time great tenor, Felix Farrel, who has recently gone upon the metropolitan stage. Ah, how well I remember how his musical voice used to descend to the Physics Labora- tory and charm us all with the soothing melodies of Oh, Jolmny! Oh, Johnny, and Homesickness Blues! Let's go back Oscar. Now, Ladies and Gents, while we turn the corner you see on your left the Gymnasium and on your right Whipple Hall. As you all know Whipple is now being used as a sandwitch factory by the Athletic Asso- siation who needed the money badly. That forlorn group at the Gym door is a crowd of Juniors who are trying to make arrangements for paying their Prom bill before going home for the summer. First time that ever happened. These are all the sights of the campus,-Ladies and Gents. If you really want to know what the college is you'll have to go to it, they say. Close enough Oscar? Everybody out here. SENIOR VACATION tOh what a satirelj 1 ,mt -..,f.,---..-11. v tr 113 WHA'l S THE COMEBACK? A Gaylord: Well, you know, Bill, there's other ways of serving your country besides going into the trenchesf, Kitner: Yaas, Gay, I guess that's right. I believe in the etticacy of prayer too. But don't you think we had better leave that to those who have special stand-ins with Jehovah? That's a better job for some of those old Saints down here at the Campbellite Church who have reserved seats in the bosom of Abraham, than it is for you or me. i Jacksonville has an adequate water supply.

The next time you come unprepared you will be thrown out of the class and there will be a loud thump. It is the most versatile of all conversationalists. Without ever having been to college, it can talk upon any subject known to man, and in any language under the sun. Sometimes its speech is fluent, sometimes deliberate. Again, it is halting and boresome to hear. Its voice, also, is as various as its knowledge: for within the space of an hour, it may be base or treble, as the spirit moves. It will be silent, perhaps, for days together, and on a sudden call you to attention in a manner always brisk, and sometimes quite startling. No matter how energetic the conversa- tion, it preserves a perfect immobility, and not a feature of its counte- nance is ever disturbed, nor a single gesture ever indulged. Such, indeed, is the nature of that super-mind--the telephone. 114 '1 4 ' 6 0 03 95 get Q 5 'L ' .,V. . O ' hA' A J -'- -Cf QQ 1 i d ' fo nbzforfia ?

I would probably not even attempt it if I had the slightest idea what palliate 111eant. That the committee that had this meeting in charge should choose me to represent the society in extempore speaking, was farthest from my thoughts. I have always considered it the part of one whose appearance and character would tend to lend weight to whatever he might have to say. I can see by the bored and blase look on tl1e otherwise vacant faces of the audience that they con- sider me entirely too frivolent and tlippant to handle anything really serious and worth while. They have right. Any one who knows lne as well as I do will tell you that all of my time is 11ot spent in the rapt contemplation of the contiguity of the hence and that study is by no means the fondest thing I am of. My tendency to travel in concentric circles and my ability to put the owl to bed of nights is too well and widely known to attempt to hide. My life is an open book where all may read and ponder. But gentlemen, like many another hilariously ruined youth, I owe my downfall to the company I have kept. If, at the begin- ning of my career at college, I had but chosen my friends from the quieter and purer element, perhaps today there might still linger on my pallid cheeks the fair, faint flush of youth and on my lips and in my heart no guile. But alas, I chose not wisely but too well. How, I ask you gentlemen, may any man retain his heart pure, his mind clear and his reputation unsullied after spending three years in the riotous and iniquitous company of Ernest Rutherford, Russel Dean and the Davis boys. Therefore, it is with the greatest timerity and reticence that I COIHC before you this evening. Furthermore, I should have 1nucl1 preferred to slink quietly into some corner and joi11 the crap game between Dallas Hagan and Bill Russel or with the visiting members of Sigma Pi, drop otl' into peaceful slumbers. But, alas, that cannot were. The wheel has spun its course, the cards are dealt, the die is cast and the drinks are on the house. I have always prided myself on being a member of three of the greatest religious and educational institutions in the world. I refer to the Presbyterian Church, the Republican Party and Phi Alpha Literary Society. I was born a Phi, I acquired Presbyterianism and,--my father . ,ti hvstuiwf--,I-. w , I 1 1.n,,t..,.z...Awn, 130 was a Republican. The event that determined n1y course in life took place on my birthday. It was a dark and stormy night, the night on which I was horn. Mother was seated in the cheery glow of our fireless cooker singing theiold church hymn, The Conseerated Cross-Eyed Bearfi and waiting for father to come home. At last, just as the clock struck one four times, father came staggering home from work. Mother and I met him at the door and mother presented me saying, Father you have a family. Father smiled weakly and said, Pleased to meet you family. I knew from that moment that I was going to like father so I kicked him playfully 011 the nose and murmured Oogly blink. That, of course, was before Iliad learned the English language. Father was so pleased with me that he offered me a chew, and said, NVe shall call him Harry, after his Uncle Williztlli and he shall vote 'the Republican ticketf, Non- sense, growled my mother sweetly, YVe shall call him Paul after the epistle to the Romans and he shall join the Presbyterian Churchf' Then it was that father drew hilnself up to his majestic height of six feet three inches, around the waist, and thundcred, You may call him what you please, but he shall never join Sigma Pi or vote the Democratic ticket. Furthermore, I mean to be boss in my own house. Go and get my sup- per. However, as father took the precaution to say this under his breath and after mother was gone, nothing serious happened. Thus it was that I was born, as it were in the very arms of the Presbyterian Church, edu- cated and reared in the refining influences of the Republican Party and as a natural course of events, came to Illinois College and joined Phi Alpha. Now when I made the statement that these three kindred institutions were the greatest in the world, I did not mean to disparage the worth of any other institutions of like nature. I do not claim that all of the states- men are in the Republican Party, all of the Saints in the Presbyterian Church or all of the worth while men in Phi Alpha. On the contrary, it is quite possible to join the Baptist Church and get to Heaven by the water route, the Democratic Party might elect another President by some unaccountable accident, and a man might join Sigma Pi and still amount to something. However, when it comes to such important steps as getting to Heaven, electing a President and joining the right literary society, 0110 cannot afford to take chances. Therefore, as I said before, I assured myself both comfort and safety, here and hereafter, by aitil- iating myself with the three great national institutions. Now I want it to be perfectly understood that I do not mean to say anything against Sigma Pi, at all. It is a great institution, in some ways it is almost as good as Phi Alpha, and if I seem to call the members of Sigma Pi liars, fools and horsethieves, it lnust be remembered that I do it in the right spirit. And if one does it in the right spirit, one may do almost anything. I have nothing personally against the Sigs, except the 131 fact that they are Sigs. Therefore, it should be remembered that my heart is in the right place even if my brain isn't. For the counsel of those who are here tonight, not affiliated with either society I will read a short passage from the Scripture. This read- ing is taken from the Holy works of the Prophet Woppykaiah, 13 chap- ter, 19 verse. And the Prophet YVoppykaiah rose up among them and spoke as follows, 'Behold brethren, I would advise you concerning many things ye wot not what in your top-k11ot, I doubt not. I offer you words of wis- dom conrening Phi Alpha and Sigma Pi. For I say unto you ere you abide long at the School that standeth on the Hill, you must choose between theln or forever I1'Ctlll the paths of illiteracy and darkness. And I pray you, let thy choice follow solemn thought and prayerful medita- tion, for you choose for all time, yea, eve11 unto the end of thy days. For it is not within the power of man, nor is it given to the son of man to serve both Phi Alpha and Sigma Pi. The servant knoweth but one master and the house divided against itself is sold for taxes. Therefore, consider. Heed not the sweet warblings ofthe tempter, hearken not unto the baleful ebulitions of the Bulbul. Look not upon the Sig when he moveth aright, follow not in his steps for in the end he stingeth like the serpent and biteth like a three fer stogie. Shun the seductive Sig when he giveth thee the right hand of fellowship for lo he putteth the other in thy pocket. Make him deliver up unto thee thy shirt and make for the nearest elsewhere. For verily I say unto you Sigma Pi cometh like a thief in the night and snatcheth the sleeping Freshie while he yet wot not thereof. Such are the wiles of the wicked. Beware lest you fall into the silken snare, the hidden pitfalls of Sigma Pi and he cast into outer darkness. And there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. But lo, hearken unto the ways of the righteous. Phi Alpha seeketh not, goes not forth to hunt, sets not the snares at night. She waiteth at home. She .sayeth to all alike, COIDC who will, and they who he Phis at heart, they seek her out. She ensnareth not, nor buildeth the pitfall. She holdeth tforth her arms and like the eagle to her nest in the shadow of the great mountain, and like the swallow to the eaves at night, so .comes the Phi at heart to the bosom of Phi Alpha. So sayeth the scriptures. Selah. fltemarlcs are in OI'd0I'.J Wliicll shall it be TAKE YOUR PICK A Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, etc. OR What fools we mortals be. 132 133 DORM LIFE , 'Twas a dark and stormy night. Anon through the hectic heavens iitful gleams of lightning flashed and somber peals of thunder followed. The lurid light of approaching storm bathed the scene in a ghastly green. Fitful gusts of wind seethed through the pines, and howled 'round the corners like a banshee in pain. Wild, nameless creatures called warning and the surcharged air foretold a night of storm and terror. Witllili, one might have forgot the night's storm were it not that the very air of the room seemed electric with suspense and portent. Truly it was a night for wild and whirring dreams. The family alarm clock pointed to ten in the morning, so it must have been somewhere midnight as the Society forthe discussion of things in general and the state of the Universe i11 particularv met in the front and only room of No. 17 Crampton Apartments. It was a motley array there assembled: wits, sages, artists, poets, dreamers, and even, strange to say, one mortal. Dispersed through the excellently appointed apartments they were, lolling in the silken softness of the Oriental Otto- man, breathing the incense-laden air and ever and anon taking a chance shot at the alabastor spitoon. The sensuous tendrils of a handsome hookah wound sinuously to each and languorous vapors ascended from the bronze' incense burner where one had cast a Camel. There was a deep silence in the room. The immortal circle contemplated. At length the silence was broken by a sound. It was Ralph Baker. As I was walking down the beautiful lane that leads south from the Cam- pus, CSee catalogj he said, I stumbled across this rare old stone. I picked it up and upo11 examination I found that it did not belong to any of the common geological orders such as Stalactite, Dyarite, Anthracite or Dynamite and upon further examination with microscope, gryoscope, horoscope and periscope I discovered that it did not contain argon, kryp- ton, xenon, jumpton or any of the other rarer metals. Taking as my major premise, the well known tenet of the ancient geologist, Aresopho- gus, All things, animate or inanimate, which do not belong to this earth are, ipso facto unearthlyf' I deduced through Aristotle's seven stages of logic that this stone must have once been an integral portion of some celestial sphere, in other words, a part of a cometf' The rare old rock was silently passed around the pensive circle, call- ing forth exclamations of wonder and delight. I deduce, said John, from the fine, hair-like tracings, that this specimen came from the tail of a comet. 134 1 And I further deduce, broke in Gib., from the bronze tint, that she was a red-headed comet. Seriously nowf, said Bake, such evidences continually remind one of the omnipresence and olnnipotence of God.', Primal force, objected one. The ultimate good, protested another. Protoplasn1, a third. Nonsense! sneered George, there is no--' The whole company arose in horror. What! they thundered. --Santa Claus, finished George lamely. Gentlemen, gCl1tlCll1Cll,,, said Wop, do not let this degenerate into a theological discussion. A prolonged silence followed. I Such contemplative moods as these, said Govy, at length, are good for a l112ll1,S soul. I11 fact they are the only things that will save him from prediction. Never before have I felt so completely under the influ- ence of the infinite good. Gib protested, Proto-- Silence, growled the company. --Under the influence of the infinite good, continued Govy, as tonight. This rock is to me as the handwriting on the.wall was to Nebouchadazzer. It fills me with holy dread and indefeasable longing, a poet's longing-for what I know not. I feel now as I did as I wrote those beautiful lines: Oh nameless hours of what is it. How h can I express your nothingness. Thou Art to me as an infinite vacuity where Ci1'cles aimlessly The shapes of nothing whateverf, God! interjected John admiringly. Proto-- Q Silence, growled the company. Who is this Protosi1ence? querrously querried the mortal. Shut up, snapped the company. Oh,', said the mortal reflectively. Govy disregarded the interruptions, and continued, I believe that this thought was the very one that Kelly or was it Sheets had i11 mind when he said Twinkle little constellation, tell me of your situation. Up above this sphere terrestrial, like an amethyst celestial. Beautiful, beautiful, murmured the company. 135 Oh poetry, he continued, Oh Psyche, Oh Cyrene. O11 you muses all. Oh how you amuse us all, said Gib. Govy ignored the remark and continued. Thou indeed rule the world. The day of the dreamer is at hand. The practical man has had his day. Let him die. Well,', said the mortal, this is indeed very entertaining and instruc- tive. I admit that concerning the sciences I know very little. I have not looked at this specimen through the microscope nor have I subjected it to any chemical or logical examination. However, I have bee11 exam- ining it with the aid of the common but little used formula of horse sense and I have come to the conclusion that your rare old specimen belongs to the genus 'Irish Confettif In short you nuts have wasted two perfectly good hours discussing the origin and family history of a com- mon brickbatf' There was a disgusted silence. The mystic spell was broken. The first faint glimmerings of dawn crept through the window. The light llickered and went out. The brazier sputtered feebly and the silken hangings of the room rustled uncertainly. At length some one stirred. Wop arose and opened a window. One by one the members of the circle arose, donned their wraps and passed silently out into the cold grey of the dawn. The next time the symposium met all mortals were care- fully excluded. WHEN YOUR WAR RATIONS' FAIL TO SATISFY, REMEMBER!! In these days of indigestion It is oftentimes the question, As to what to eat and what to let alone, For each microbe and bacillus Has a different way to kill us And in time they always claim us for their own. Eating lobster cooked or plain Is only flirting with ptomaine, Wliile an oyster sometimes has a lot to say, But the clams we eat in chowder Make the angels chant the louder, For they know that we'll be with them right away. Cuonus Some little bug is going to find you some day, Somelittle bug will creep behind you some day, Eating juicy sliced pineapple Makes the sexton dust the chapel, Some little bug is going to find you some day. tetcj 136 THE MODERN TITANS IIORRIBLE NIGHTMARE OF A SENIOR INSPIRED RY READING THE EXALTED PRAISES OF OTHER CLASSES The senior class had long considered the courses of nature gone awry, tllld had speculated how much better they could have directed them. It befell, at length, that the gods, making one day a visit to the llyperboreans, left Olympus untenanted and exposed. In the dogdays naturally ensuing, the whole world was in a state of inaction. The sky was blue, and the mass of clouds-abode of the gods-that hung etern- ally above the peak of the holy mount, was scarce matched anywhere in the welkin by more than a wisp of white. On earth, the fields lay green and still, the beeves cropped languildly at the sward, and the shepherds dozed beneath the trees, their tlutes fallen by their sides. In the mart and forum of the cities, the merchant yawned in his booth, in the Iltl1'IJ01',,,IIl0 ships swayed idly at anchor. Thus it was when the senior class-the sole existing energies on earth-drew up above the horizon, shading their eyes to gaze on distant Thessaly and cloud-crowned Olympus. Enterprise was in their every glance and gesture. Apple walked with a singular dignity in advance of all the rest. Berryman rolled slowly along, chest out, lips pursed, cheeks bulging, and blew vigorously, and with evident delight, in all directions. Capps dashed airly about on his toes, flicking a willow wand, and bowing periodically to the magnificient Apple. Humphrey's plegmatism had given place to a sage solemnity, and with a mortar in one hand, a pestle in the other, he pounded up divers leaves and roots that he found by the way. Even Caldwell's face was infused with something like sub- limity, and he plucked at an old banjo with his eyes fixed rapturously on the heavens. Grace McLaughlin walked sedately by the side of Apple, a high dignity upon her brow, very much akin to Apple's own. Behind these came Miss Emerson, her facial expression a mixture of wisdom and severity. Mitchel, a'huge tree-limb in one hand, and a fur rug over his back, was arm in arm with Russel, who staggered about flourishing a bottle of pop. Kitner capered about with a piece of cord dangling from the small of his back, and a couple of paper cones glued to the top of his head. Wlleii Olympus came into view, Apple halted the strange company, and standing 011 a nearby mound, he addressed them thus: We are now entered on a project that touches the destiny of the world. Martin Luther, Copernicus or Theodore Roosevelt never under- took anything so momentous. I have assigned his rank to each of you according to his fitness, and I desire your loyalty and assistance in all that shall follow. Everyone, according to his nature, showed gratification of Apple's 137 words. Kitner hallooed and tried to wag his tail. Russell tossed his bottle of pop into the air with a yell, it fell on Mitchell's head, and broke into a hundred pieces. Some clapped their hands, some leapt and other merely smiled approval. Apple bowed, and resuming his position at the head of the party, moved on. After the passage of an hour, they stood at tl1e base of snow-capped Olympus, and began the ascent in single file. They caught their feet in the gorse, rolling rocks bruised their corns, they tripped over roots and fallen timber, but still they went up and ever up. After as long as it took to climb the mountain, they stood on the top. A dense mass of white clouds hung directly overhead. On the east side of this mass, one might have decried a flight of crystal steps, approaching a huge and magnificent portal, whose surface gleamed i11 the sun, now nearly in the meridian. Capps produced a length of rope, having a loop at one end, and bidding the rest of the company stand off, he began swinging it in wide circles. At last he let it fly above him, in the direction of the steps, but with no effect. After four such trials, the loop caught at length in the footscraper aloft, and a junction was secured between the moun- tain and the cloud. The class now ascended, one after another, the ladies being hauled up last. Then, when all were assembled on the steps of the celestial palace, Apple rang the bell. A servitor in a Greek tunic and with a napkin over his left arln, appeared at the door. It was Gany- mede, the eupbearer of the gods. The Olympians are out todayf' he said, evidently 1nucl1 surprised. Seize him! commanded Apple. Mitchell hit Ganymede over the head with his club, and tossed the poor fellow to the ground. Now, said Apple, before we enter, line up and answer to the roll- call. They did so. Aeolus,', said Apple. Here ! replied Berryman. Juno. Here! replied Miss McLaughlin. Bacchus Here! yelled Russel. Pan. 99 Here! piped Kitner. Mercury. Here ! said Capps. Apollo. Herein roared Caldwell. Aesculapius. Here ! bayed Doc, Athena 138 f Here ! responded Miss Emerson. Hercules Here! replied Mitchell-and so through the whole class. Now, said Apple, salute your lordli' Everyone drew a deep breath. Hail! they cried, Hail to our lord Jupiter! Apple bowed. Forward to your thrones, he commanded, pointing to the open door. Thus it was that the senior class took over the dominion of the earth. Then commenced a rummaging in the heavenly wardrobes for the costuming appropriate to each divinity. Capps objected to going around in a loin cloth, but compromised on two bath towels and. a golden caduceus twined about with snakes. Russel found some ivy growing in a window-box and decking himself with this, and bearing a rich goblet embossed with grapes, he betook him to a sanctuary. Kitner was fur- bished only with great difficulty. His legs were covered with a compo- sition of glue, and horsehair from a ll'ltll1ll'CSS. A piece of bell-rope served him for a tail. He frisked among the company playing on a syrinx. Jupiter rushed about looking for thunderbolts and lightnings. He finally found some in a closet, but they had been kept too long, and were solne- what damp. He selected half a dozen of the best a11d carried them otl' under his arln. All the class assembled in the celestial basilica, and mounted their several thrones. Each one received his commission from Apple, and pronounced formal allegiance. Mitchell took occasion to demur at this point, holding it unworthy of a god to render fealty. Apple in wrath discharged a lightning upon him. Mitch received it on thelend of his club, where it fizzed for a moment or two, and went out with a pop and a wisp of smoke. The Olympians pleaded for a reconciliation, and peace was restored. On the Monday following, the gods began to exercise their functions. Aesculepius accidentally killed eighty thousand people in one day by inspiring a medical formula that had twenty grains too much arsenic in it. Aeolus let out all the winds at once, and they set to with such fury that there were typhoons, cyclones and hurricanes for six weeks, and not a house was left standing. He went forth with a net to secure them again, but came back only with the tatter of a northeaster that was blowing around the cape, and a couple of zephyrs that were too fagged out to resist. Bacchus so disturbed the grape crop, that the grapes swelled to the size of bladders, and burst with a strong odor of chewing tobacco. Apollo confounded the world of song by playing med- leys of the popular airs, so that all those who took inspiration at his tem- ples, were considered as owing lnore to Bacchus than to him. Moreover, he never could make a full circuit with the chariot of the sun, but when 139 about half way up the ascent, he always skidded to one side, and fell into the northern ocean. Jupiter's thunderbolts hit the earth like mud- pies, and his lightnings hadn't the heat of an icicle. He tried drying them out in the oven, and sharpening them up on the whetstoneg but they were worlny, and wouldn't even fizzle. The raindrops hung motionless on the edges of the clouds, and Jupiter had to go around squeezing them out with a wringer. As for the world, it was in an uproar. Farmers were praying for rain, people were dying in quite unnecessary numbers, the day was shortened by about nineteen hours, and those who weren't dead were drunk. Me1'cury dashed around breathless from shrine to shrine and from land to land, bringing to Olympus fresh stories of disaster. The new generation of deity thought it about time to decamp. But there was no getting down to the mountain top. The passage-rope had been blown off, Zlllll nothing remained but to jump. However, the dis- tance was too great, and the prospect of bouncing down several thousand feet of slope appealed to no one. The gods, therefore, sat on the crystal porch of their cloudy abode, and looked dolefully on the earth beneath. Suddenly, a shadow fell upon them. They gazed upward. I11 the dis- tant empyrean were gathered the whole company of the gods, just 1'eturned from Hyperboreas. Vvrath was upon their countenances, and vengeance in their eyes. .love had a peck of thunderbolts in 0110 hand, and a sheaf of lightnings in the other. Hercules was swinging his club in slow circles. Apollo was training his spear. Vulcan was about to throw the hammer. The missiles fell with a concussion like the disrupt- ing of the universe. The senior class was blasted to every point of the celestial sphere, clutching tatters of cloud, or clinging to the charred end of a thunderbolt. Three days they fell, from morn till dewy eve, and dropped at length into the icy ocean. Thus ended their glory, and thus ends my tale. SOPHOMORE NERVE Prof. R0bfll.90Il,S Room. 7 P. M. Newell and Prof. discussing Newell's Education bibliography. Enter Soph unannounced. Soph: Hi Prof. fLooks around.D Soph: Say, Prof., have you a typewriter? Prof.: Yes Soph: 'Tm going to borrow it and write a letter. WlJe1'e is it? Prof.: Over there on the table. Soph goes over to the typewriter and sits down, making considerable noise. . 140 I Soph: Why this is a Remington, isn't it. You ought to have an Underwood. My dad had an Underwood and they are good onesf' Prof.: This is a good one. Soph: Say, Newell, you're too close, you'll have to move over. Say Prof., got any paper? Prof.: Yes, Thcre's SOIIIC in that drawer. Soph takes some paper out of the drawer and looks at it. Soph: Say Prof. Have you any carbon copies? I want one.', Prof. gets up and gets a carbon copy. Soph: No, I want two more. Prof. recrosses the room and gets two more copies. Soph: Say, Prof., have you got any thin paper to go with this? This paper is too thick. A Prof. gets up and gets two more sheets. Soph: Say, Prof., I want some more paper. I want to write two or three letters. Prof. gets more paper. Soph: Say, Prof., it's awfully hot in hereg I'll bet you it's up to 90. I wish you would open a window. Soph: Say, Prof., you know I like to write on a typewriter. I never wrote on one until I was home Christmas and then I practiced up 011 my dad's. I thought I would practice on yours, and it would save me taking a business course and I could be my own slenographer when I get in the law business. Starts pounding away on the typewriter, making so much noise that Prof. makes another appointment with Newell who leaves at once. On one of the hottest days of the early part of this hot summer we were sitting in our office thinking of something else. Occassionally blisters rose on the varnish of our desk and burst with a loud pop. We decided to write no more, as we had already drunk the ink and our steel pen point had melted. It was just that hot. By chance we caught a glympse through the window of a tattered figure which had fallen in the middle of the dusty road-that awful simmering oven of dancing heat waves. Slowly the figure raised its head. We saw its ghastly ema- ciation, the black, swollen lips, the bloodshot eyes. As quickly as we could we rushed to the man's side and lifted his drawn and wasted head and bent close to him. He had just time before the last stubborn spark of life gave out, to utter these words, Ah,-clear home-Murrayville- 'fore remembered-walked all the way back-train stalled. Wanted to tell you this- ' John Furry, son of Harry Furry, of this city, is not a dealer in hides --he is a student at Illinois College. 141 RIG VEDA BOARD Editor-in-Chief ..... ................ ..... .....

As for the size, we believe .ip 2. 1 f5 W E that it should be standardized, for there are almost as many sizes and , it 2 shapes to the Rig Vedas as there are volumes. Of course there will be criticism of this book. We expect it and got I 5 ready for it long ago.
