He is sixty-eight years old, but has far more vigor than most men of fifty. His erect and commanding presence is well known to the students of the In- stitute, for h e has often found time in his exceedingly busy life to come and address them. He is the best all-round speaker in Chicago, equally notable for his wisdom and for his wit. No other man sizes up a situation so quickly or adapts himself to it so perfectly ; be the occasion a mere social gathering or an hour requiring a solemn restatement of the ideals of the Republic. He is a Vermont boy by birth, and in talking to young men he renews his manly New England youth but he has been identified with Chicago for more than forty years. For fifteen years he was the judge of the Probate Court, suc- ceeding in that office the late Judge Christian Kohlsaat, whom he later suc- ceeded as President of the Trustees. He returned to the practice of the law about nine years ago, and is today the senior member of Cutting, Moore and Sidley. Five Six BERNARD ALBERT ECKHART The Vice-President and Treasurer of the trustees is a red-blooded Amer- ican, born in France of German stock. Can you beat it for a powerful com- bination? He came from Alsace when he was a baby, grew up in Wisconsin, and became a miller, lie remains a miller, one of the greatest in the world, and was the first man to he chosen president of the Millers ' National Federa- tion. Incidentally he is a director of half a dozen banks, and has been one of the builders of the new Chicago. Speak of parks and park commissions and Mr. Eckhart ' s name is the first name remembered. He has been deeply interested in Lewis Institute since the day of its opening, and many a poor boy owes his chance in life to the Eckhart scholarships. He has been a trustee since 1904, when he was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of former Mayor John A. Roche. In April of that year he was appointed a committee of one to look after the investments belonging to the Institute. He looked after them. That committee of one i- still active, and Mr. Mowat says that for the last seventeen years no bond has been bought or sold, no real estate mortgage granted or payment extended, no important lease executed and no valuable equipment purchased without Mr. Eckhart ' s personal attention. Even so. And now the Annual has the honor to announce that Mr. Eckhart will be the Commencement Speaker this year, on the evening of June twenty-second. Srri ' n Eight JAMES BRYAN HERRIGK Dr. Herrick is the Secretary of the Trustees of the Institute. He is sixty- one years old, and without a superior among the physicians of Chicago, which is the center of medical education of the western hemisphere. He has. been connected with Rush College, now the medical school of the University of Chicago, for more than thirty years, and for more than twenty as Professor of Medicine. There are various types of eminent physician — the learned, the aggressive, the men of one theory — the geniuses who get results by rash ex- periment — but Dr. Herrick is the type that medical students most admire. He inspires confidence by cpiiet mastery. He is intellectual, calm, alert, a seeing eye, a sure judgment. His patients feel that he knows what there is to be known, and observes what there is to be observed, and brings the whole bodv of medical knowledge to bear on each specific case. He is gentle, firm, kind without a trace of arrogance or a shadow of pretense. Had the Institute no other debt to Dr. Herrick, it could never forget what he did, as medical adviser, for the Director. Nine Ten THOMAS KANE The beloved Veteran of the trustees is Thomas Kane, now more than eighty years old. In the world of business he is remembered as a manufac- turer. In the world of religion he is remembered as the persistent advocate of systematic giving. In the little world of Lewis Institute he is remembered for four things. First, he believed with all his heart in the ideals of the Founder, for he had himself been a pour buy, and worked his way up. Second, he used to come to the Institute and talk to the students about these ideals. His favorite text was, Get a streak of fat and a streak of lean, by which he meant Unite school theory and shop practice as you go along. Third, he always tried to advertise the Institute. In this he found himself virtually alone, for the Institute has never had the time or the art to advertise itself. Fourth, his keen eye perceived that one of the evening students, J. Hall Taylor, was a real inventor. So he staked every cent he had on Hall Taylor, and his judgment proved sound. Mr. Kane and Mr. Taylor became the Amer- ican Spiral Pipe Works, and remain so, and sell pipe to every country on the globe. Eleven Twelve BION JOSEPH ARNOLD There are three electrical engineers who stand at the head of their profes- sion. These are Edison, Steinmetz, and Arnold. They are great friends and Arnold would doubtless say that Steinmetz is his superior as a mathematician, but we happen to know that Dr. Arnold invented and proved the present single phase type of electric road when Dr. Steinmetz said it could not be done. Undergraduates who want to read about B. J. can take their choice of main- sources. They can read the long list of. his successes in Who ' s Who. If this stumps them, they can pick up the daily paper and see what particular railroad Dr. Arnold is electrifying. Everybody knows the he electrified the New York Central in and out of New York, and that he is the chief subway engineer of the City of Chicago. But there is hardly a great city on the continent that he has not supplied with electrical brains. Then there are the magazine articles about him, such as appeared in the American Magazine last August and last March. B. J. has no use for bluff or hot air. He lives on hard facts, consuming vast quantities daily. He is patient, thorough, persistent, stubborn. When he gets one of his poetic ideas he tests it and then he banks on it, trusting his. own mental processes. Thus it was that when his first single phase apparatus burned up, the very night before he delivered his inaugural as president of the American Society of Electrical Engineers, he rebuilt the whole thing at a cost of forty thousand and ran a train over twenty miles of road, calmly emerging a week ahead of all other single-phase inventors. Then he gave the outfit away to two universities, because it involved the use of compressed air, and he saw that this was unnecessary Every enuineerino- student in Lewis has only one desire — to be like the great B. J. Thirteen GEORGE NOBLE CARMAN 1. Do you recognize this gentleman? 2. Did you ever see him before? 3. Does he ever appear in the halls of Lewis Institute? 4. Is he inaccessible? 5. Has he three or four secretaries who make appointments with you and at last conduct you down a long dark corridor to where you finally catch a glimpse of him sitting behind a roll top desk? 6. Does the office boy reluctantly carry your card to him after haughtily asking your business? 7. Does he take an interest in you? S. Does he try to give you a square deal? 9. Does he think you are just like all the rest? 10. Did you ever know a finer man? These ten questions are an examination, like those Dr. Lewis once in awhile gives, in show that Columbia University isn ' t the only place where they a k snappy questions. The right answers to these ten questions are a- follows: 1. Yes, you bet. 2. Sure. .Mike. 3. Yes, ma ' m. 4. No, dearie. 5. Nope. 6. Nay, not so. 7. Yes. S. S es. 9. No. 10. Never. Fift( en Sixteen ANDREW ROLLINS DOLE All the men on the Board of Managers are men of deeds rather than of words, but this newcomer, this Mr. Dole, this Maine boy, is the shyest violet in the bouquet. He has never made a speech to us students — is the only manager who never has. We doubt if we could get him to address us unless we went in a body and carried him in on our shoulders, but we may do that yet, for what he doesn ' t know about glass and paint is not worth knowing. Also, besides being vice-president of the H. M. Hooker Glass and Paint Com- pany, he is president of a valve company of his own. So he might give us a lecture on valves, if he weren ' t so modest. We know several seniors who think they know all about valves, but still have something to learn. Mr. Dole is a special friend of Dr. Tcnney, who is the director of the choirs of the New First Congregational Church, where Mr. Dole worships. Uncle George says that he and Mrs. Dole are like a second father and mother to all the young folks in that church. Well, we students of the Institute feel a bit like orphans ourselves sometimes, and the Annual is not sure but the whole bunch — Catholics, Protestants, Chinese, and Hindus — had better go down and join the choirs of the New First. The oniy trouble is that Uncle George says we can ' t sing. Seventeen Eighteen HARRY PRATT JUDSON Rah, rah, rail ; rah, rah, rah ; rah, rah, rah — Judson! This is the noise they make over on the south side when the venerable form with the white mustache and the twinkling blue eyes appears. For Harry Pratt has still a good deal of the boy in him, as his first name shows, even if he is more than three score years and ten, and about to resign from the presidency of the University of Chicago. He has been president since 1906, and was Dean of the Faculty for fourteen or fifteen years before that, in short from the founding behind Director Carman in every educational experiment that the Director has attempted, some of them very important. President Judson made the opening address when Lewis Institute began its glorious career in 1896. He had known the Director years before and was on hand to back him up even then, at the very start. The President has occasionally come to the Institute and made welcome addresses. We have it from Frank Beezeley, president of the Union this year, that Prexy once made us a most impressive address on the cost of educating a college man. Frank gave us the figures and any freshman can see them by calling at the Annual office. Twenty HARRY LORD WELLS We started this series of biographical sketches with proper formality, drawing on Dr. Lewis and Mr. Mowat for facts and phrases. But we have been getting more and more informal all the time, until we have arrived at the youngest member of the Board of Managers, where we aren ' t quite so afraid of failing to preserve the right decorum. Mr. Wells is the Alumni representative. The Alumni do not have the formal privilege of nominating a member of the Board, but the old boys are tickled to death to see somebody of their own age admitted to the solemn conclaves of the graybeards. Which reminds us that there isn ' t a beard in the whole distinguished bunch. Mr. Wells succeeds his father, Mr. Addison Wells. In private life — that ' s what they say about actors — Harry Lord Wells is secretary of the Wells Brothers Construction Company. So this builder has come in to help build the future Lewis Institute, and may he live to see the dreams of all the loyal Alumni come true. He has one very great advantage over all other Alumni — he married the charming daughter of Judge Kohlsaat. Helen Kohlsaat Wells is what they call persona grata to everybody.

Weber Joseph Woodlock Twenty-eight STUDENTS ' COUNCIL Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made of. It was a dream. There can he no doubt about that. Conceived in a fertile brain, carefully nurtured, it gradually took upon itself shape and form. nd herein it differed from other dreams. It did not fade into nothing- ness, leaving a sad and disillusioned dreamer gazing after it. No! As it assumed more definite proportions — if proportion may be considered an attribute of dreams — it became a very part of its creator. What was the dream? Who was the dreamer? The dreamer is well known. The dream no longer exists apart from this world as a fanciful idea of a day-dreamer. It is; it lives; it acts. It has descended from its lofty position in the sky and is a living and vital part of Lewis life as it is to-day. To the dreamer the evolution of his dream was quite evident, but to the students of Lewis, all too near-sighted, its approach was like a thunder- bolt from the blue sky. To gather together a group of students representative of the varied interests of Lewis students who should devote time and thought to the interest and welfare of the student body as a whole, regardless of race, creed, or other distinctive quality — this was in very truth, a dream. And yet the Students ' Council exists to-day in Lewis, and will ever hold it-- place high in the esteem of Faculty and Students. The duty and privilege of the Students ' Council is to meet once a week to discuss problems common to the student body, with the purpose of making Lewis more nearly the school of our fondest hopes. Its members merely act as spokesmen for Faculty and students in stating that it is their desire to see Lewis turn out a finished product each year; men and women fitted sociallv and physically as well as mentally to meet adequately the problems of the world. In stating that this is their purpose they express willingness to give ready attention to questions brought to them by students. To attempt to enumerate the varied subjects discussed and acted upon in Council meetings would be worthless. Let it be enough to suggest that when our dreams of a Community House with all its needed and beautiful equipment shall be realized, we may truthfully say that the Students ' Council is such stuff as dreams are made of.

We are trying to make it resemble the record of high society in a college for the rich. So we are not going to explain whether the editors are rich or just hallboys pretending to be rich. The truth, however, is that the great majority of Lewis men earn their own way. and that they could not go to college at all if it were not for this institution. We could till the whole book with true accounts of such fellows who have made good because Lewis gave them their chance. We have produced no engineer of the rank of Dr. B. J. Arnold, who had the brains and the grit to compel success no matter where he w r as born. But there are few such men. Even George Westinghouse owed his success to the fact that his father was an inventor before him, and took him to his machine shop as a boy of twelve. That is very different from the first engineer that Lewis graduated. He was the son of a butcher who wanted his son to be a butcher too. He isn ' t. He is the chief engineer of the United States Gypsum Company, and he believes in Lewis. The latest public mention we have seen of Walter S. Rogers, another Lewis man, is in an article by Ray Stannard Baker. Walter was in Paris in charge of the communications for the American Peace Commission. Throughout the difficult days before the Versailles treaty was signed he per- suaded the French government to send nine thousand words a day by wireless free gratis for nothing to the American press. Walter did that for America. Vet when he entered Lewis he had no resources except a good right arm that could pitch a ball straight or do any honest job that offered. Fifty-three THE STAFF Edward G.

We arc indebted to Lucie May for compiling the biographies of the graduates; to Norman Wise for obtaining the technical articles; to Thusnelda Abbetmeyer for assistance in typing several articles. Our work has been to make the book a pleasant review of the year ' s activities, witticisms, events and things characteristic of the faculty, student body, and college life as it is at Lewis — a book that is truly representative of the entire college, and that contains the tilings that will some day be ami ng the most highly treasured memories of our lives. We have no apologies to make. Good or bad as the 1922 Lewis Annual may be, it represents our best effort, and if it pleases you as much as we hope it will, we shall feel that our work has been doubly compensated. Edward Gavin. An editorial is generally an attempt by a staff writer to write an intelligent discussion of a current topic. But I speak of a periodical. We of Lewis are publishing an Annual — a pleasant review of this school ' s activities. Even if I were to discuss an allied subject, such as the abolition of written examinations, I would be out of place. My duty, as a whole, resolves about Lewis. Like any other school Lewis has other profitable activities besides the gen- eral organizations. The most prominent ones are represented in the body of the Annual. I cannot, however, resist mentioning some Lewis characteristics — the ab- sence of which would metomorphosize Lewis. We of Lewis pride ourselves in having a really active and influential alumni body — the Lewis Union. Most of its members are prominent Chicago people, and through them Lewis derives worthy support. This year has witnessed a signal revival of sports. Our basketball team had a lively and successful season. As I write this, 1 am listening to humorous comment on our overwhelming victory at Elmhursl in Track — 89 to 19. Suc- cessful athletic activities are gratifying anywhere, but they are especially wor- thy of note at Lewis, because its teams are made up, to the last man, of ama- teurs — amateurs who love sports as much as they love education, for many of our students are attending school because they themselves have made it possible.

No student activity in Lewis ever went over without the presence of Philos either in a body, or acting individually. The Philos can stage a show, a debate, a rough-neck fight, or the most formal of formal parties with unparalleled success. Xot that we overestimate ourselves, but. isn ' t it the truth? The original purpose of the society was the promotion of public speak- ing, and it urged aspiring orators to gather once a week, and propound, de- nounce, present, argue, and eulogize. Thus were the first ten years peace- fully and happily spent. Then came the war. It was a great war for the Philos. In a body they marched to the recruiting office, and were all accepted, faculty sponsors in- cluded, with the single exception of the godfather of the Philos, Mr. D wen. They told him he was too old, so the Philos fretted, argued, and used ten years of debating experience to have regulations removed, but all to no avail. They marched off, and Mr. ( )wen kept the old spirit alive by raging against the laws that would not permit him to lead the Philos in their biggest battle. Well, here we are four years after the war. The organization is no longer a public speaking club. What is it? Huh! It is a sort of semi-secret society and its present object is to promote interest in student activities. The Philos instingaled and promoted the First Annual Lewis Mixer, and later gave a gym dance that was the success of the year. During the year the members have held some wonderful parties, chief among which was the St. Patrick ' s Day Celebration, which — Well, it was a great partv. Keep your eyes peeled on us next year. Our program is a world beater. Eighty-six WHO ' S WHO IN THE PHILOS? Ted Allen — Dotes on strong- drink and wild women. A good Philo. Fat Anschell — Now me and Bert Williams were out one night, and — Pipe down. Fat. That line is old. Rudy Bartsch — Has an interesting formula for a pleasing beverage. Irv. Chapman — Sleek, small, and — well, we don ' t know what Ik- does out- side of school. Ed Connors — Throws the shot, travels to Joliet, draws pictures, hustles passengers, and what not. We recommend him for everything. Dett Dettmer — Only a little Duch boy from Pennsylvania. Charlie Drobnyk — Ipsigawich, Michigan. He ' s just that kind of a guy, too. Yea, Charlie.

Bruce Guild — Probably lives in his locker. We don ' t see much of him. Kid Hager — The only real Philo vamp. Eddie Honlik — His qualification for membership rests in his ability to talk incessantly. Earl Johnson — The most important man in the world. Swede Lindberg — Swede is a track man now. Whoop! Mac Mackenzie — ! ! ! ! Sam Meredith — Who said the Marines didn ' t win the war? Johnnie Meyer — You gotta show me. You bet he is from Missouri. Jack Miller — Can prove that Pittsburg is the center of the world, and that Chicago is a suburb of Hyde Park. Slim Pettit — Famous as a host. Philo meeting at Slim ' s always brings out the whole gang. Red Redden — The best pre-medic on earth. John Scheel — Another good man gone wrong. Leave it to a Philo to select the best. Al Sheehan — Another lover of work — when he can watch someone eke do it. Frank Spencer — Lightning changes from the serious to the frivolous.

While it is not officially recognized as a Knights of Columbus organization, its membership is restricted to THIRD and FOURTH DEGREE members of that order. For many months we had talked of organizing a club of Caseys, but had done nothing until just previous to last Christmas. Henry Bond and Joseph Panegasser took the well-known hull by the horns and X-Cube came into being. Ralph Hoberg, who gave the club its name, became first president, with Henry Bond as vice-president, and Joseph Panegasser as secretary. These officers are still on the job. At present the club is planning its first social affair, a reception to he held on the second of June. MEMBERS L. C. Angle E. C. Carstens J. Farrell T. Fergus l. J. Fitzgerald R. Gallaghei A.

The idea seemed to be to use onl y the big guns, so contrary to custom no students appeared before the club this year. The first talk was The Spirit of Thirteenth Century Religion, and we saw the old bishop beaten as thin as his coin. We looked not at that century, but felt with its people. I ' i( if. Mathews spoke on New Comedy in Old Rome. and as Dr. Maurer said, we had poor cocoa and a good speech, while at the previous meeting we had good coffee and a poor speech. Dr. Jones spoke on Spanish Philosophy, and even included the Moorish Philosophy in her delightful half-hour. Prof. Cobb magnetized the mathematicians and drew to hear his Phi- losophy of Mathematics the largest audience we have ever had, which lie conducted on a trip to Flatland. The Psychologist Crane came, explained intelligence tests to us, and took our mental measurements. We will never forget this meeting. We are grown up now, and have to get along without much help from the father of the Club, but on January 22 Mr. Kohlsaat visited the old homestead and spoke on The New Psychology. Dean De Lagneau spoke on The French Attitude Toward Life, and put us all in an attitude of sympathy toward the French, so that if any of us had been antagonistic when we came, we forgot it. Dr. Tenney spoke on The Philosophy of Music. He ran down the scale from opera to jazz, and started a discussion which continued during the dishwashing period. You see that we have up-to-the-minute topics, and the Philosophy of Twentieth Century Poetry is all that. Miss Warvelle produced what one young man, while still under the spell, said was the best meeting we ' ve had. As a fitting climax to our year we have Miss Blanke on The Philosophy of Art and Dr. Smith on The Philosophy of Chemistrv. The Club thanks these speakers and Ellens Cauvins and Littlejohn for their splendid service. He that is greatest among you, let him be your servant. Frank Spencer.

Tenney Ninety-three Lewis Public Speaking Society The Lewis Public Speaking Society has developed remarkably fast from a precocious infancy to a voluble adolescence. Mr. Smale, the sponsor of the society, is re ponsible for its meteoric career. Early in the year he imbued the members with a workable philosophy — learn by doing. The society has felt free to ask Air. Smale for guidance at any time. He was instrumental in providing enjoyable programs. Mr. I ' . Ro) Mathews entertained the Club one afternoon with a quaint talk on travel in New England. The club hopes that Mr. Mathews will not commercialize his art as Burton Holmes did. but will allow the society to enjoy another afternoon with him. Dr. Maurer ' s survey of Public Speaking in England. France, Germany, Italy, and America gave the members a better understanding of the relativt merits of each country ' s style of oratory. ' With such excellent guidance, we are not surprised to hear that the society is famous for it-- oratory. ( n two occasions, opponents in a schedule, debate have hesitated to meet the Public Speaking team. Mr. Robbins, Ml Tibbitts, and Mr. Kracklauer. The mock trial lives in the minds of the Lewis students. Here Judge Smale made his famous decision about the Volstead Act. T. Abbetmeyef nix 11. Smale, Faculty Adviser.

The great number of progressive societies in different parts of the country, and the untiring and unselfish efforts on the part of prominent individual members have resulted in a steady advancement of electrical applications to their present stage. The industry is now indispensable fur the welfare and comfort of the people in all the civilized world. Much still remains to be accomplished and developed, however, and the student engineer of today will play a large part in the achievements of the future. The possibilities which are before us are prac- tically unlimited, and who knows but that some of our student members of today are destined to make discoveries and developments which will cause the wildest dreams of Jules Verne to pale into insignificance. The average student does not realize the honor and privilege of becoming identified with the A. I. E. E.. but it is hoped that eventually every engineer- ing student will become interested and help to make this branch the most en- thusiastic and successful of its kind in the country. New applications are received from day to day, and the following is a list of the enrolled students to date: Faculty Fred A. Rogers Abraham Nechin John Dirk Nies Students Chairman — Ear] G.

Though apparently not much in evidence as a body, the individual pre-medics have shown creditable initi- ative in various literary and social affair- of the institute. This year the pre-medics have felt more strongly than ever their unity of purpose, and they have formed an organization, which is bringing them even closer together in their singleness of aims and interests. The Lewis Pre Medical Association, assisted by the medical atmosphere of Mr. Peets ' comparative anatomy classes, hopes to advance the medical interests of its members in a most helpful degree. United by this bond of friendly intimacy, the members of the association are looking forward to an attractive series of talks by prominent medical men of Chicago on such subjects as the value of the pre-requisite curriculum for medical schools, for our course is so varied as to cause us to wonder sometimes if it is all reallv needed in our profession. It is hoped that some eminent specialist will tell us how to get through medical school on a minimum of twelve hours a day outside work. As a catalogue of the institute would better show. Lewis is admirably titled to the needs of the pre-medical student. Here he can find in bountiful surplus all that he needs to prepare him for the medical college. We are not unmindful of .Mr. Peets ' thorough and painstaking methods of teaching comparative cut anatomy. We shall always have occasion to remember him with thanks when carrying our cadavers in a medical school in the future. Neither shall ye ever forget .Mrs. Cooper, who performs the dual role of teach- ing zoology and physiolog) with gusto and eclat. l.ikt the engineer, we avail ourselves of the departments at Lewis which are common to both our curricula. We are not therefore precisely in a sep- arate department. We attend Lewis with the same hope— to go forth and become a credit to ourselves and to Lewis. One Hundred Tiro One Hundred Three Veterans of Foreign Wars KENNETH M. COPLEY POST No. 512 Kenneth Copley Post No. 512, Veterans of Foreign Wars, was organized in L,ewis Institute during the fall quarter of 1920. Prospects for a live, active post seemed unusually good, because there were approximately three hundred men in the Institute whose foreign service made them eligible for membership. Like all new organizations, the Post struggled through a period of trials, tribulations, and reverses, but through the perseverance and steadfastness of a loyal few, difficulties of all sorts were overcome, and today Kenneth Copley Post is alive and active. During the past year, we have held regular meetings twice each month, and the interest manifested by a relatively small membership has been the sort that has made die meetings lively and well worth attending. We have taken an active part as a unit in pressing the claims of the ex-service man as an indi- vidual and as a group, and many funerals were given the proper military bear- ing by the presence of our bugler and tiring sipiad. We feel that our post has functioned in the Institute, both as a college or- ganization and as a unit { a great national body. To those men who are not members and who should be, we have this to say : Our duty to our nation and to ourselves demands that we stand together, and fight here, as we did over there for God and Country. A satisfactorv solu- lution to the multitude of problems that have confronted and will continue to confront the ex-service man, can be accomplished only when the great body of men who wore the khaki and the blue, forget petty grievances, and trivial personal grudges, and stand together bound in duty as they did in 1918. join Kenneth M.

COPLEY One Hundred Eight Kenneth Malcolm Copley Lieutenant Kenneth Copley was one of the first Lewis men to enlist in the spring of 1917. He was a member of the class of 1917, and received his degree in June, but he was already in the air service at that time. He was universally beloved by his classmates, being modest, serious, able, and very much of a gentleman. Before leaving for his training he was married to Miss Grace Frame, of the class of 1916. He was urged by some of hi? instructors to choose a less arduous branch of the service, but his replv was that the air service seemed to him the most important. Fortunately his strength proved adequate to the demands made on it, and by April, 1918, he was in active service in France, and as much esteemed by his comrades as he had been by his class- mates. In May he was killed by accident to his machine. His body was re- turned to ' America, and reposes in his old home in the south. One Hundred Nine THE L SOCIETY. Shortly after the close of the basketball season, Coach John A. Bartky conceived and organized the . Society. The original members are the men win) have won the L for successful participation in a major sport. In the future each member of a Lewis team who wins his spurs will automatically become a member for life. Membership is also retroactive, and the secretary is now attempting to compile a [isl of men who have won the L under a legitimate coaching system. Some discretion will be exercised in admitting members, because during the period beginning with the war and ending last fall, athletics ran themselves in tin Institute, and many men who were not entitled to a major letter received one and wore it without proper authority. Working on the assumption that a man who undergoes the trials of hard training and competition, naturally has a keen interest in the success of athletics in the Institute, Coach Bartky expects that the organization will lie a powerful factor in promoting athletic endeavor among a larger bodv of students. At present, only ten L men are in college, and already the society has begun to function. The stage is set for next year, and it is up to you to play the game or boost the effort. (hie Hunched Ten We were very fortunate this year in securing a number of new members with exceptionally fine voices. Some of them were engaged outside of school in choral work. In fact they were so busy that we had to draft them. With these and the old members, we built up a fine club and started on the pro- gram for our concert and dance, which were given early in the Winter Quarters. Our organization continued to grow and it was decided that we give the comic opera Erminie by E. Jacobowski, which by reason of its profusion of male parts gave us an opportunity to use all of the splendid operatic material we had. With Airs. Worthington at the piano, Uncle George conducting and Mr. Barradell of the Chicago Musical College coaching and applying the tradition, May 5th will remain a landmark of the year 1922.

One Hundred Sixteen t t?fiM One Hundred Seventeen THE PLAY ' S THE THING A school reviewer of school plays has his difficulties: he has to associate with those about whom he has written. I shall find it easy to tell the truth and keep alive, because of the exceptional work done by the Drama Club this year. The players, too, have their difficulties. As explained in a long speech by S. K. Binvon, the stage is inadequate. Everybody knew it was inadequate even before S. K. ' s speech, and but for the enviable standard of this publica- tion, we could describe its inadequacy in picturesque and colorful language. We hope that next ear ' s Drama Club will find a suitable Portmanteau Theater awaiting it. The club, I understand, intends to join the lead of the little Theater movement — to put on small plays well rather than large one clumsily. Every selection has passed the test of fire and air. The Club is a democ- racy, hence the fiery debates about whether to have high brow or low brow offerings. Suppressed Desires. having all the requirements of a Lewis play, psy- chology, love, and humor, was well delivered by White, Lent, and Hayes (For translation of names see membership list). Will-o ' -the-Wisp, a suffragist production, featured Miss Myra ' s dance. In The Lost Silk Hat, Millard, as usual, played the pendulumatic part, and Sheehan made good as the suspicious laborer. D. C. does exceedingly well n rnmedy. The second group of plays The Twilight Saint caught the conscience of the reviewer. It is not hard to imagine Droba a poet, nor Myra Rrimblecom a wife, nor Mary Planert a helpful neighbor, and had Saint Clare been pres- ent, she would have found no fault with Grant as Francis. These artists had lines worth remembering. The suitability of these players for their parts is another illustration of Spencer Binyon ' s ability as director. This ability to get along with temperamental players who have known him so long show sthat he is not without honor among his own people. The finest bit of acting of the evening was performed by Leone G. Abrams. The Boor, a Russian product, won praise from Russians in the audi- ence for its realism. M. B. had marvelous control of face and voice, even when upset. Anne Lipner looked good enough to eat, and Art Smith, never forgetting he was a menial, and rheumatic, did well enough to make the name of Smith famous. Frank G. Spencer. One Hundred Eighteen One Hundred Xiiieteen One Hundred Twenty The basketball team, altho not unusually successful from a purely com- petitive viewpoint, was notwithstanding, head and shoulders above its oppo- nents in good, honest, aboveboard sportsmanlike qualities. The real merit of the team was proven in the game with the University of Chicago. In this game, Chicago — which later in the season proved its efficiency by finishing in an honorable position in the conference — was able to score onlv one more field goal than Lewis did. The individual work of Bell was one of the features of this game. The Lewis team was greatly handicapped while preparing for the season by the fact that its practice was limited to three times per week; this also accounts for the rather slow start made by the team. The squad was prolific in defensive material, and this naturally led to a defensive type of play. As this manner of playing requires considerable prac- tice, it was only during the latter part of the season that the team really showed its effectiveness. In a team so characteristically defensive as Lewis, it is difficult to select any unusual performers. The work of Giryotas was notable; but it was rarely fully appreciated. Aspenwall and Mackenzie were the leading offensive players, and toward the end of the season when he lost some of his crude- ness and became more accustomed to the usages of the game, the latter became a genuine offensive star. Galpin and Wise were the keys to the passing work of the team, and both did unusually well in this capacity. The team was very fortunate in having such able substitutes as Urelius, Gavin, Anderson, and Wlotkowski. It is a fact that when the time comes in which honors are to be dis- tributed, there are a few worthy ones, who tho ever so deserving, must be left empty handed. The men who at various times did work equaling or even excelling that of the regular team are Lowry, Redden, and Miller; and these should receive their full quota of encomiumc. John A. Bartkv.

Well, listen. In the old days, to quote Old Tinier, Lewis had a girls basket- hall team that always won. Then somebody started a war, and the girls began knitting socks and sweaters, and our basketball supremacy was lost. This was a come-back year at Lewis, and nobody in the Institute worked harder or more consistently to stage a real comeback than did the girls who played basketball. They sought the old pep formula, found it, organized a sextette, went out, and won. This is the formula: Good Spirit plus Effort plus Interest equals Success. Yfter a month of practice a game was arranged between the Frosh, under the leadership of Captain Sara Ponsford, and the Miscellaneous. The Frosh won, 25- IS. and as a result of the contest, a regular team was selected. Work is never entirely without recompense, and many good times wire had. The feature of the season was the return game played against the Aurora Y. W. C. A. at Aurora. Despite inclement weather conditions, four machines were loaded with basketball players, rooters, and lunches. The Aurora girls showed excellent sportsmanship, and are true hostesses. Concerning the individuals who comprised the team, we have a lot to say in a few words. Sara Ponsford ' s game at center was brilliant. She was never outjumped, and she has a peculiar knack of always being where the ball is. In a mixup Sara always emerged with the ball, and got it off with a quick, sure pass. Sara Gruber at center guard with a steady, dependable game, completed the impenetrable defense of the center of the floor. Heinie Bittermann was the champion bad luck player of the team. Mid- season saw a steady guard on the bench with injuries which kept her out of further competition. Mary Planert, the Boyd Galpin of the girls ' team, is the back guard who held the opponents ' scores well below ours. Mary possesses real ability in getting under the basket, breaking plays, and sending the ball out of the danger zone. Gladys Ellsworth was always a thoroughly dependable substitute, and the team was fortunate in having her to replace the regulars. Myra Brimblecom, the lightweight of the team, overcame the handicap of size, and delighted spectators by her fast work, and ability to feed the ball to Mabel Rugen for points. Mabel Rugen is the individual point winner of the team. Whenever Mabel got loose we counted a score before the ball started. She scored them from all positions, and was undoubtedly one of the team ' s strongest players. Too much cannot be said for Helen Skinner. Ordinarily placed at for- ward, she filled nearly every position on the team during the season, and filled it ably. SCHEDULE.

And si  m a milky baritone of pails Will sing, accompanied by coarser chant ( )f crunching jaws upon the evening feed. And, in the twilight shade of your front p nil;. In one dim corner, glows the seasoned pipe Of him who laid your lasting corner-stone ; He seeks with hopeful eyes in homely smoke. And finds conceptions of an ideal world To follow when his life and labor ' s done, For he has builded much and steadily. Unmindful of the earth ' s revolving sweep, Unmindful of the wealth posterity Would find, and fashion blindly, to its grief. Ah, little house, your tiny gable eyes Are wet today, and is it that they grieve For younger years of proud, though humble life? Or is the sorrow felt for us, who kill To gain a goal as barren as this street? Arthur Gordon Smith. One Hundred Twenty-eight One Hundred Twenty-nine VETERANS ' BUREAU OFFICE PERSONNEL CHESTER A. GILKERSON, Co-ordinator JOHN F. WATSON LORAJ. BYERS LAURETTE CONNERY MAI SI E G. SMITH 0 e Hundred Thirty VETERANS ' BUREAU The Veterans ' Bureau Student Association is the largest of Lewis societies. It has a membership of about 450 and comprises about 30 per cent of the. entire male student register. In March, 1919, there were only about thirty- five Federal Board Students at Lewis Institute. At the suggestion of Mr. V. L. Sherman, and with his co-operation the Federal Board Students ' Association was organized with an active membership of about fifteen. Mr. Samuel I,. Brenner became first president and the new organization, under his guidance, progressed rapidly. Mr. Brenner was succeeded by Mr. Ralph J. Hoberg, w ' .io served one term and turned over the gavel to Mr. Harold May. During this time the number of Federal Board Men had more than trebled, though some of the original thirty-five had either finished their training or had been trans- ferred to other schools. The newcomers did not know of the organization, and the old timers not only did not gather their buddies into the fold, but began to lose interest themselves, and the society finally fell a victim to that dire malady Lack of School Spirit. Before it had entirely passed away it was resuscitated by Mr. C. A. Gilkerson, who in the meantime had come to Lewis Institute as Federal Board Co-ordinator. Under his direction the association was recognized with Mr. Jeffrey as president, and because the work of the Federal Board was taken over by the Veterans ' Bureau, its name was changed to Veterans ' Student Association. The organization now holds regular monthly to Veterans ' Bureau Student Association. The organization now holds regular monthly meetings, at which all Veterans ' Bureau Trainees are present. It has an active executive committee which has been of considerable assistance in maintaining contact between the veterans and the officers of the Veterans ' Bureau. It has provided entertainment from time to time, and several lectures have been arranged, notably one by Bishop Samuel Fallows, which was en- joyed very much. The Veterans ' Bureau man no longer considers himself apart from the so-called regular students. He has entered into all Lewis activities and is doing what he can to further the interest of his school. He tries to excel in athletics as well as in the class room, and he has succeeded. The Associa- tion has men on the track and basket ball teams ; seven men will receive the title of Associate in Arts and two men the Degree of B. S. Lewis Institute is proud of her Veterans ' Students and when they have completed their train- ing they will be proud to call her Alma Mater. Wm. W. Adler Fred Albrecht, Jr. Elmer E. Alman Lloyd J.

The dawn wind sings A song of joy, And kisses flings, Sudden and coy. A robin trills His rippling lay, With laughter fills The new-born day. And in a garden, Old, unkempt, Like a white warden, Lithe, unbent, A pear tree stands In bride-array, And lifts white hands, As if to pray. The dawn ' s red light, The wind ' s caress, The pear tree ' s white, Frail loveliness, The wild delight Of a redbird ' s song, Into winter ' s night, I bear along. And in that gloom, These treasured things Will make to bloom Long vanished springs. — Natalie Flohr.

One Hundred Forty-two KNAVE OF HEARTS This is a true story, the story of the Knave of Hearts, not the Knave who stole the tarts, but tine one who steals hearts here at school every day. You will each one think it is you, since the genus homo is blessed with a fair amount of conceit ; but the real Knave will know it is he, and he will stop his thiev- ing just long enough to smile and shake his head slowly ; and then he will go back a stealing. It is my sorrow that he holds my heart — and my joy; as it is the sorrow and the joy of the dozen others whose hearts he holds. Shall I say your names? Perhaps not your real ones — but Oh! Ruth and Margie and Rose Marie ! we understand each other and him, though we have never talked about it. I think that he keeps our hearts all strung together on ribbons of pink (or perhaps they ' re blue) and every moonlight night he takes them from his strong-box and he looks at them. Perhaps it ' s a tender, young moon that looks down on our bleeding hearts; a moon that tries to comfort them; or perhaps it ' s an old, old moon that sneers as it fades in the West. But the Knave only smiles slowly and locks the box again. You wouldn ' t know him if you saw him; he doesn ' t look like a Knave. He has — but if I told you about his hair you might guess. But when I see him, I see fire-light and star-light; golden sun-rise and flaming sun-sets; wild violets in the springtime and the dead dreams of the past. Could you guess who he was from that? As I said, sometimes I think ; but not of Soviets nor peace conferences, nor yet of earrings or silk socks. Why should I bother with these trivialities when these are real problems to solve. Oh! You may think it ' s you, and you may think it ' s you; but no one will ever know except Ruth and Margie and Rose-Marie — and the Knave. He ' s smiling slowly as he reads this and he is thinking of the hearts he has added to his box since the day that he took mine. LuciNDA.

One Hundred Forty-four TOAST By George Boller Scene: The Breakfast Room in the Girl ' s Dormitory at Lewis Insti- tute. Time: .1 sprint morning at about seven. Characters: Dorothy and Frank Explanation : Both Dorothy and Frank arc experimenters. Frank is taking a straight science course at Lewis, because he is naturally an ex- perimenter. In Dorothy he had found his likeness.. She was always desirous of testing her ideas. The experiment this morning consists of a prenuptial breakfast for the purpose of ascer- taining whether or no they are as well fitted for marital bliss at the breakfast table as they had shown themselves to be in Car field Park under a gibbous moon. Dorothy is alone. Breakfast is ready. DOROTHY I wonder why Frank is not ready. Trunk enters. DOROTHY It ' s a pity that you can ' t get break- fast on time. FRANK You ought to be thankful to me for being here at all. DOROTHY Now, Frank. FRANK Yes, I mean it. It takes me a great deal longer to eat here than it would in town. My time is valuable, woman. DOROTHY But, Frank, wouldnt ' you miss me? FRANK Well, maybe I would, but not so much as I now miss the time. DOROTHY Now, Frank, start the day right. Eat the pretty breakfast I ' ve prepared for you. They sit down. DOROTHY Did 1 put enough sugar on your grapefruit ? FRANK It ' s all right. DOROTHY How do you like the eggs? FRANK They ' re all right. DOROTHY And the ham? FRANK It ' s all right. What ' s the matter? re you afraid to ask about the toast r DOROTHY Why, no. Is the toast brown enough ? FRANK Brown enough? How should 1 know.- I see so man) stars when I bite into it that I become color blind. 1 let me an axe I DOROTHY Why, Frank ! ! ! FRANK I mean it. I ' d have to have a gallon of coffee to make this toast masticable. DOROTHY After all I ' ve done to make this breakfast a success you come and do your best to spoil it. You ' ve wrecked my whole morning. One Hundred Forty-fire FRANK With toast as hard as this I can do nothing else. DOROTHY Frank. I ' m actually angry. FRANK So am I, but not at myself — at you. It ' s the worst condition a man can be in while he ' s eating eggs. I ' m going. DOROTHY Frank, don ' t go. I can ' t stand — Dorothy cries. FRANK Don ' t try to appease my anger with your tears. My jaws are still aching from that impossible toast. Dorothx goes for his hat and keeps it. DOROTHY I won ' t let you go. If you go, after everything I ' ve done for you, I ' ll never forgive you. FRANKI Come, give me my hat. DOROTHY Frank, how can you act so? Be- cause the toast is a trifle hard, for I cut the bread too thin, you get up from an otherwise lovely breakfast to eat at an armchair restaurant. FRANK Will you give- me my hat.- ' DOROTHY 1 really think that you care more for your hat than you do for me. Youve ruined my whole day. Don ' t you ever think of my feelings? I tried so hard to please you, and not a word of thanks from you. Dorothy is sob- bing continually. I thought that may- he you cared, but now- I see that you don ' t. Several tears find their way down Frank ' s face. FRANK It ' s not that, Dorothy. DOROTHY It is too. If every meal during our married life is going to be a repetition of this, I think it is best to call off our engagement. I ' ll keep the ring, but not on my finger. Good-bye. FRANK Dorothy!!! DOROTHY I know you now . IK XK I ' m afraid that this idle experiment of ours has turned out rather serious- ly. I didn ' t mean half of what I said. DOROTHY I ' m almost certain that you did, but I ' ll give you a chance to prove it. Go back and eat that toast. ■ ' rank hesitates, and then goes. FRANK I ' ll eat it for you. DOROTHY And you wouldn ' t eat it if you weren ' t doing it for my pleasure? FRANK I should say not. DOROTHY Frank, how wonderful of you. I ' ll make some more, but softer. CURTAIN One Hundred Forty-six LEWIS CAFETERIA The most beautiful building on the University of Chicago campus, so thev say, is Ida Noyes Hall — partly utilized as a cafeteria. At Lewis the most ap- petizing room, gastronomically speaking, is our cafeteria on the second floor. One hundred thirty-five people can be seated comfortably. Each noon every chair is warmed three times. Without taking the following figures to heart, the reader will realize the relative significance of those noted. During the year of 1921, from September to May, 51,400 meals were served, with total receipts of $17,873.54. This year for the same period, 56,515 meals were served, with a total receipts of $17,769.54. An easy arithmetic calculation reveals the fact that the num- ber of meals served increased by 5,115 while the cost of production decreased $104.00. This may cause popular Chicago restaurant managers to squirm, because it shows a decrease in the selling price of food amounting to ap- proximately 9.6%. In other words when we compare this year with former years, we find that the business of the Lewis Cafeteria has increased consid- erably at a greatly decreased cost. Student aid has become indispensable to the present efficiency. About forty-five students assist in the cafeteria. They receive one meal for work- ing one-half hour. Among these students one finds some earning more than their meals, that is, some earn two meals a day and an additional monthly compensation, by devoting four hours of their time daily to light work, such as making salads, and dishing desserts. Most of these students are studying in the Home Economics field, and consequently valuable information re- garding the management of a cafeteria. The installment of a larger steam table makes possible the accommodation of a larger number of people in a shorter time. This is only one step in the cafeteria ' s expansion program. The success of a cafeteria is dependent on the manager, and too much credit cannot be given Miss McRae for her careful and efficient management of the cafeteria. Any good farmer will affirm that a good worker is a good eater. All our good students, if not good farmers, are good eaters — hence the success of our cafeteria. Katherine Adele Schwarz. TEA ROOM OPENS AGAIN Lewisites have discovered that they can combine pleasure with business in the tea room. The eats are not only pleasing to the eye but they satisfy. Strong vigorous men come in hungry and anxious and go away fully appeased. It do beat all how them girls can cook. The Tea Room is a decided success, not only in the delightful light lunches served, but in the catering offered to special parties. M. Kinsey. One Hundred Forty-seven The Automobile Shop One of the newer departments that is little known to the main student body is the Automobile shop. It is located in a one story, truss-roof building facing Winchester Avenue. Instruction is given in all branches of auto-mechanics, particular attention being paid to the practical side. A student enrolling for this work is placed in an instruction section, and is given a series of exercises, or jobs, to familiar- ize him with the component parts of the automobile. After he has satis- factorily completed the work in one instruction section he is transferred to another. After completing the instruction or elementary part of the work, the student is assigned to the repair floor, where he is given actual repair shop practise on cars brought for repair. The work in the instruction departments covers the chassis, engine as- sembly, elementary electricity, storage battery, engine operation, and tire re- pairing. Emphasis is placed (in types of construction rather than on partic- ular makes of cars, so that upon completing the elementary instruction work the student may analyze a car into its various units and understand their relationship to each other. No student is permitted tn work on a complete car until he has qualified in the instruction departments on chassis and engine assembly. The tire department is equipped to take care of all phases of vulcanizing work from tube patching to complete rebuilding and retreading of cord and fabric tires. The storage battery is studied from the making of plates tn the com- plete battery. The repair or rebuilding of all makes of storage batteries forms an important part of the work. A considerable amount of commercialized repair work is turned out by the more advanced students in all departments. A nominal charge is made for all work, thus making the department self-sus- taining. One Hundred Forty-eight The electrical room is well equipped for instruction in auto electricity. Tallies are arranged with various types of ignition systems, starters, and gen- erators, with the necessary cut-outs, switches, etc. The student disassembles, inspects, reassembles, and connects the various parts of each system, tracing each circuit and making wiring diagrams. Particular attention is given to the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism as applied in auto electrical work. In the engine operation department the student applies the knowledge gained in the engine assembly and electrical departments in locating typical engine troubles. The theory of carburation and fuel supply is also covered in this department. A new phase of garage instruction is given in room G, also known as the room of many vises, located on the first floor of the lym building. Here the student is instructed in the proper use and handling of tools most fre- quently used in garage work. The work that we are doing in the garage is somewhat different from that of other departments of the Institute, in that we are training most of our men for a definite trade. There are about seventy-five men of the Veterans ' Bureau in training in this department, as well as a large number of regular students. The average length of time required to complete all of the courses of this department is three quarters, but a student may specialize in one or two lines in less. We of Gasoline Alley, as it is called by its friends, altho somewhat detached from the main buildings of the Institute, feel nevertheless, that we are an important part of it. ( ur work covers a large field, and an important one. We cordially invite your inspection, so pay us a visit and become ac- quainted with the Lewis Garage. NEWS FOR HEAT THEATERS A little over a year ago a new course was introduced into the engineering result of the vision and practical policy of those making up the programs department of Lewis Institute, the Heat Treatment of Steel. It is the of the Institute, who realized the rapid growth of the steel industry in Chicago and immediate vicinity, and the great need of such a course to the practical engineer. The interest in this course by men actually employed in this and allied industries has been so great that the classes have been filled several weeks in advance. Graduate students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Armour Institute, Dartmouth College, and Cornell have attended. To make the course of practical value to men already engaged in the steel held as well as to men who follow other engineering branches a complete set of gas furnaces of different sizes as well as an electric furnace for special purposes have been installed. All these are connected with pyrometers and a recording instrument for obtaining heating and cooling curves, and represent a fully equipped modern heat-treatment plant. The Institute has been fortunate in securing the services of a man who has spent thirty-six years in this line of work. This includes the wide experience in the steel mills in all departments, and in responsible positions in the commercialized field and also the experience gained as professor foi fifteen years in the Heat Treatment of Steel at Purdue University. One Hundred Forty-nine From the beginning the students showed a keen interest in this fast developing science due to its wide application in modern machine construction, and the increasing demand by evening students who hold commanding posi- tions in the machine industries emphasized the need for further development. The result was that two new courses were added to the engineering curriculum. One was added in industrial chemistry of iron and steel, the other being a specialized branch of physical chemistry. The first which is headed Metallurgy follows Heat Treatment of Steel and deals with the various industrial pro- cesses of steel making and their products. This course is of special interest since it acquaints the student with the products of the different processes and their good and bad features. A year of both chemistry and physics is a desir- able prerequisite for this course. The second course Metallography of Iron and Steel is a course in higher physical chemistry and is intended to impart the knowledge necessary to pursue the analysis of samples of iron and steel along scientifically organ- ized lines. This is an interesting course of recent development and independent research, and the writing of a thesis concludes the course. The laboratory is fully equipped with machines for polishing the sam- ples, a complete photomicrographic equipment with heavy metalloscope and large camera, a dark room, and a Brinell machine for testing of hardness, and additional machines are under construction. All indications point to further expansion in this branch of engineering with intention of enlarging the scope of the present courses, and very soon we will have a complete college course in metallurgical engineering. C. J. Gustafsox. One Hundred Fifty I FOUND AN OLD ?? Do you know, began the professor of history, searching among his class for a spark of intelligence, his exes already despairing, in what book you would find the most authentic account of the Battle of Lexington ... ah . . . Mr. Munson? Mr. Munson did not know, but he had enough dramatic ability to portray the facial contortions of a tli inker. He was thinking, but not about the ques- tion. He fastened his eye upon the professor ' s neck-tie, rolled his brow into a plowed field, and bit his pencil with slow but sure violence. Thus he stared for a full minute. Until recently, he answered at length, with a sage and sure clearing of his throat, I had the entirely ignorant impression that it could be found in the popular text-books of the public schools, but, while I browsed in a musty, second-hand book store, I found an old — Do you hear that? the professor exploded, jumping from his chair and pacing to and fro in pleased excitement, Do you hear that? Brows- ing! That man has been browsing! Browsing in a second-hand book store! Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what that means? Can you appreciate the significance of this man ' s discovery? Are you able to grasp the magni- tude of Mr. Munson ' s intellect? Think of it! Browsing and finding an old — Why, I think that is the most astonishing bit of information I have ever re- ceived. A student too, one of my class. Well, now, I — Here, the professor ' s ejaculations become lost in an unintelligible mur- mur. His vehemence, and the sweeping force of his reaction to the bright light he had found where he had expected no more than a glimmer carried his words before him with such speed that they became involved one with the other and were rendered inarticulate. To the relief of the class, however, he recovered his wonted composure, and to its infinite glee, launched into a colorful exposition of the art of book collecting. Do you realize? he opened, a bright glow in his eyes and a working smile upon his expressive face, do you realize the possibilities, right around this school, of the most potent discoveries in books? Walk into any of these common second-hand stores, where shelves are cluttered wth every manner of article conceivable — where you will find a pair of old shoes, a flat-iron, dirtv shirt, and, beside these, covered with dust, a pile of books. Investigate them. Open them and look within. You may have an early edition of a valuable work. And how do you suppose it got here in this side-street store? Some family, perhaps, getting low in funds, has sold it to a junk man for its value in weight as paper, and now it lies here bearing a ten cent price mark. Think of that! Actually, a valuable volume for which you would have to pay one hundred dollars, placed in your hands for ten cents. One Hundred Fifty-one Are you interested? Does this sort of thing appeal to you? Yes! Well, glancing at clock, I will tell you some of my experiences as a book collector. I went over here — I won ' t tell you exactly where — and walked into a second-hand book shop. I asked the proprietor if he had any old bonks. ' Yes, ' said he. ' I have some old books down in the basement, and some up-stairs. ' ' And what kind ? ' I asked. ' Well, I have some old law bonks. ' ' Where did you purchase them? ' ' From an old judge, said he, ' come. I will show you where to find them. I followed him up-stairs, thinking, to myself, ' An old judge Now, if be bad said, ' young judge, ' I wouldn ' t bother with them, but an old judge, well there is no telling what an old judge would have on his shelves! You understand, an old judge hail no Fords or no movies to distract him, he had more instructive, intellectual pastimes. He bought books and more books and he learned to read them and to appreciate them and to love them, Yes he loved books ! With that thought in mind, I followed my book-seller to his attic, where I found various volumes piled about in disorder; some on the desk, some cov- ered with papers, some on the floor. And I picked one from the desk. What do you think I found? What do you suppose this man had on the desk in his attic? Can you g uess what treasure he bad left in compara- tive obscurity, awaiting the curiosity of the chance customer, to be sold for small change r My friends, it was a volume of the History of Roman Law, a German translation! And not only that, but a complete set! A complete set of the German translation of the History of Roman Law! Fortunately for the reputation of the class, one of the more seasoned, academic members, sitting in a front seat, drew in her breath with an aston- ished Ob! Bound in leather. the professor pursued, with animation, In excel- lent condition. And the price? What do you think I paid for this find? My friends, you would never guess. I will tell you. For this set of rare books, I paid the insignificant price of three dollars. Again the ( h ! Don ' t you think that was a remarkable bit of good fortune? And I have found other books just as rare, in the same sort of place. Would vou like to hear — But it is enough to say that Mr. Munson had not thought in vain. After class I accosted him with a question. Pardon me, if I seem to presume, I presumed, Rut I have a haunt- ing hunch, and it cries to be answered. What did you find in the old book store? Did you really find anything of value? One Hundred Fifty-two Mr. Munson smiled complacently. A friend of mine, who formerly studied with this same professor, he confided, told me of the professor ' s hobby of book collecting. He advised me to switch the subject to old books if ever I found myself in a tight place. And you tried it. And it worked. Yes, it worked. Mr. Munson went on. It was not, however, a total prevarication, he assured me, for I had been browsing in a second-hand bunk store, and I found an old — he smiled, reminicently, I found an old man, whom I took for the proprietor of the place. But he -non let me know I was wrong when I asked him where I could find a copy of the ' Sheik. ' ' Damn the ' Sheik, ' he growled, Damn the ' Sheik! ' I ' m fudge Baxter and I ' d be obliged to you, sir, if you could advise me where might find the only extant set of B — ' s ' German Translation of the History of Roman Law, ' which my wife (confound her) sold for old paper last week. And are you going to tell the professor? I asked Munson. Not on your life, he answered. I intend to hang on to my laurels. I watched the genius bump his way down the crow : ded hall until he disappeared in a bevy of bobbed hair. Then I set out for my Grecian lunch with my head full of old judges and flat-irons and dirty shirts and cobwebbed books and poetic justice. Art Smith.

One Hundred Fij Allen Sheehan : He is cut out for poetic parts, and it is his ambition to play the Ghost in Hamlet. He disdains to wear a wrist watch, as he thinks it too common. Anyway, he would rather tell time by the stars. To guard himself from the demoralizing- effects of profanity, he stuffs his ears with cotton, and sits in a rear seat during rehearsals. Cigaret smoke is extremely nauseating to him. as are prize-fighters, yellow cab drivers, chorus girls, corned beef and cabbage, ami the Wind Blew Inn. Elizabeth Kilpatrick: Usually dominates Drama Club meetings with a harsh dogmatic voice, and a cold eye. Politically she is the Lundin of Lewis and her word is law. Dramatically she is the Theda Kara of the club, as she is very fond of and extremely clever in the role of vamp. Millard Binyon: A vehement exponent of such popular plays as Willie Live the Bo) Detective, Don ' t Sell the Old Home, Father, Ladies ' Night in a Turkish Bath, etc. He maintains the club is wasting time producing high-brow plays like the Boor. It was largely through his protestation that the Comedy of Errors was abandoned, and he can hardly approve of Riders to the Sea and kindred dramas, which he insists is the worst possible rubbish to present to Lewis students, who want hot stuff. Binyon backs up his arguments with a fistic ability that is no mean persuader, but he knows that if he broke every head in the club, there would be no club at all, so he allows the majority tu rule. Natalie Flohr: A riot, cosmetically speaking, and perhaps naturally speaking, but no one can lie sure as she has newer been seen rougeless. Were it not for her and others of her type, coeducation could be said to be efficient, but how can a fellow study when her siren call is sounded through a Coca Cola straw? She loves tn plav emotional parts, but she would be much more attractive on the end of the line, as she is unmistakably Ziegfieldian. There is a persistent rumor that she expects to open a beauty parlor in the periodical library, but we hesitate as a matter of tact to verify it. cKlrn Grant: An idealist of distinctly aesthetic tendencies, who wears his hair long and whistles passages from Aida and Beethoven ' s sonata. The director is in despair when Werden is rehearsing, for Werden cannot let his genius rest, but writes poetr) between lines on the stage. He has had nothing published as yet, which proves that he is a brilliant poet. On reading his Ode to a White Wing, we agreed with him that he is running Keats a close second. Mar) Planert: Give her a detective story and a mint julep, and she is happy. She is of the old school, and while she believes in the free conduct of her sex. she thinks modern girls carry it too far. Romanticism is essentially a part of her nature, and vet she is long on propriety. For example, a man may sit on her front steps, but he mustn ' t step. Histrionically she likes home-girl parts of the Way Down East type. With Mary, discretion is the better part of amour. One Hundred Fifty-six Arthur Smith: A dilly-hound, or cake-eater of the west-side species. Patent leather pumps adorn his tiny feet, which peek out from eighteen incites of bell-bottom trousers; his manly chest is lit up with a college stripe tie while his varnished hair is covered with the cutest little thing you ever saw in hats. He loves Russian tea and Violet Milos and saxophones and Spring Fever and cough-drops. When Uncle George caught him playing with two little cubes that looked like freckled sugar lumps, Arthur affirmed he just carried them for accommodation. Leone Abrams: Aspires to be the hot criminal lawyer in the west. She has already served on juries, jail reform committees, cabaret clean-up squads, and the committee to investigate Chicago ' s Bohemia. She is intolerant of jazz music, flapperism, poetry, long haired men and short haired women. She- looks with disfavor upon Bolshevism, sentimentalism, hypnotism, vaudeville, West Madison Street. Harriet .Monroe, hare knees, and Dr. Lewis. She joined the Drama Club for no other reason than to chaperon rehearsals. Harold Sippy : Formerly with Barnum and Bailey ' s circus, where he manicured mules, drove tent stakes, made up clowns, and fed Wowzow, the wild man. His experience is a great asset to the club, as it is greatly in need of professional advice. Harold ' s unlimited versatility makes it possible for him to play the role of butler, servant, waiter, lackey, or footman with equal ability and charm in any one of these widely divergent parts. Although delicacy demands silence on the subject, we feel bound, as a matter of policy conformant with our sketches of the other members, to point out his one weak point, namely, he is bald-headed. Ellen Littlejohn : A sit-by-the-fire type of frail, who simply adores rainy days and Jean Stratton Porter. She hangs up her stockings on Christmas Eve, and believes fairy tales like Cinderella and the Soldier ' s Bonus. She hopes some day to play Little Lord Fauntleroy. Ruth Funk: An ardent admirer of Emma Goldman. She is dying to sacrifice herself upon the altar of freedom, but Lewis Institute doesn ' t seem to offer her the chance. It is whispered that she was the guiding influence in the stock-yards strike, and that she injured several policemen in one of the melees. In spite of her radical tendencies she is very sweet and attracts so many admirers that she finds it necessary to hide behind a volume of Karl Marx and the formidable figure of the esteemed Miss Talcott in order to snatch a few minutes of seclusion. She is consumed with the desire to act a part like Joan of Arc or Mrs. ( 1 ' Leary ' s cow, but the director, realizing what a barrel of powder she is. cautiously casts her as the lining mother or the old woman who lived alone. The director is to be commended, for few people are far sighted enough to see Ruth as a fire-brand behind horn-rims. Kid Ilammerbach: The Kid is at Lewis for a little vacation between seasons in the ring. He is an aspirant to the heavyweight championship of Robey Street and, believe lis, he has a good chance for the honors. At this moment he is attending a chemistr) exam, where he expects to cut his two hundred and ninety pounds down to two seventy-five. The only dangerous contender in his way to the championship is Knockout Peet, who is said to carry a nastv left hook. Kid Ham is in dramatics to improve his wind and foot-work. One Hundred Fifty-seven Dougald White : A rotund ambiguous professor who insists on carrying his umbrella wherever he goes. He is so keenly scientific that he is never alive to the possibilities of humor in human nature, or vinegar in women. Sarcasm is a word foreign to him. The sad part of his connection with the drama club is the fact (unknown to him) that Binyon is merely using him as a tool to shape the club to the model of his interests, and is totally unin- terested in him as an actor. As proof of the influence Binyon exerts over White we point to White ' s firm adherence and signal aid to the director ' s ideas on the selection of plays. White is living in the extreme poverty of martyrdom owing to the subscription of all his funds to the Anti-Cigaret League. Myra Brimblecom : Was born somewhere in Lewis according to authentic records which we would rather not divulge, but in spite of her life-long envir- onment of laboratories, libraries, lectures, and engineers, she has gained some- what of an education, and in a manner of speaking could be said to have intelligence. However that may be, she did have a hand in founding one of the most venerated traditions: That of her engagement to Spencer Binyon. Were it not for the students who have just entered Lewis, we should not take up space introducing Myra, for she is as well known here as is the hash in the cafeteria. Lewis without Myra would be like the Tribune without Andy Gump. As far as the Drama Club is concerned, she will always be the leading lady, not only because of her superior acting, but because of her. Spencer Binyon : Last, and by all means, least, is Spencer. Spencer, while perhaps not quite as well known as Myra, is certainly revered quite as highly by all who know him. He is the one who paid the first tuition at the school, and the check with which he remitted may be seen at any time in the sixth floor museum, where (until Mackenzie drank the alcohol) it has been preserved. He has thoroughly Binyonized the Glee Club, the Philosophical society, the corridors, and the Drama Club. When he arrives at school in the morning, every hair of his head is in place, but when he leaves for home, his hair stands up like that of a belligerent cat, it having been well Brimblecomed during the day. He is so idealistic that he objects strenuously to the presenta- tion of good plays at Lewis, arguing that Shakespeare or Dunsany or Shaw or Checkov or Synge or Guerstenberg would be mangled by both actors and audience, as the one could not act them and the others could not appreciate them, but he is usually overruled by Myra, who never agrees with him in any- thing excepting the question: Where to get an education? It might be well before closing this inscription, to mention Spencer ' s relation to the Drama Club — he is the director. One Hundred Fifty-eight Sometimes I Think Sometimes I think; not very often, I grant you, but still sometimes I think — not of prohibition or of income taxes, not of galoshes or violet-per- fumed Melachrinos — such matters are not worthy of thought — but perhaps twice in the wintertime and perhaps once in the summer-time, I give my attention to grave and serious matters. And these propositions are six, to-wit : 1. Did George Noble Carman, A. M., cherish in his childhood days a desire to be a cop; i. e., an officer of the law? Was he thwarted in his at- tempts to achieve his desire? And does he now tell us to Move on! with a heart bursting with joy at the realization in part at least of his childhood am- bition ? 2. Does Doc Smith know that when I sit in lecture apparently absorbed in H„0 and HCL that I am only waiting for that slow, sweet smile of his that makes the whole world brighter — and seems to promise me an A in Chem ? 3. Why does one spend hours examining an amoeba under the micro- scope and then draw something that does not faintly resemble what he has seen, but does look like what an amoeba is meant to look like. Is his amoeba different from the rest of the race, or are you cross-eyed? 4. Why does Miss Hood call everything one makes in Cooking Class a product? Does your cake look so little like real cake and your potatoes au gratin so little like real potatoes au gratin that they must be labeled by other names ? 5. Does Doc Lewis get a commission for every map he forces the school to buy ? And is that why his classes must wear out maps finding places that Kipling and Milton themselves could not locate when they wrote about them? 6. Why does Mr. Owen disgrace his Phi Beta Kappa key by such logic as exhibited in the following remarks on tardiness on a foggy morning: You people should realize on a morning like this that the trains will go much slower, and that you should get up earlier to allow more time. Gentlemen of the Jury — I ask you : How can one, rising at one ' s habitual time, gaze out upon the elements, and, perceiving that it is a morning like this, rise earlier in order to accommodate slow trains? Lucinda. Vision. High up on a mountain With eyes on a far horizon He saw men walking under a morning sun; Men uncouth, with eager eyes, And arms stretched upward to the sun. Then he came down. And when These men came to his city, His door had long been opened to them. Mollif, Sarah Cohen. One Hundred Fifty-nine Higher Learning In America [LEWIS INSTITUTE] A La Smart Set. Introductory Note: At some time or other in an undergraduate ' s life it is customary to impress some outsider with the benefits and advantages of the school he is attending. I could never get any one to stay long enough with me to listen to my sky-high praise of Lewis. Often I was told that I sound like a bad Chautauqua lecturer. Many ran away before I said ten words. 1 vowed I would Mime day force some one to hear me through. This is my only chance. I know a school Annual is something that many students buy, but few read. When 1 first saw Lewis Institute it was located at the corner of Robey and Madison Streets, and it is at that comer for the same reason that a mission is maintained one block east and a police station a few blocks farther. Lewis is an institution of learning, but is used as a hotel by some of its inmates. Lectures are given, and these afford opportunities for sleep. Further to facilitate sleeping, the rooms are large and dark, with comfortable seats. The lecturers are very courteous and never deviate from a monotone, pur- posely not to irritate slumber. When the lecturers feel certain that all mem- bers of the class are sleeping, they may attempt to pass off a couple of their stock jokes. Manx students have adapted themselves so that they are read) to laugh at these jokes in their sleep, ingratiating themselves in this way with the professors and at the same time working out their required sleeping hours. The school is above a drug store. Drugs are sold after six only. During school hours the specialties are extra strength ice-cream sodas and loud knacking gum. It serves as a campus meeting place for the mild boys and wild girls. It is there that the Arrow Collar Company scouts come to find models, and there that the drunken sailor once stole a pair of pants from one of the boys to use for dress parade. Next to this drug store is a cleaning establishment. It is a school supply store. It does clean work on the students, for it reminds them that book- prices are still outrageous. ( Ither establishments struggling under the weight of heavy learning in- clude a public library, a real estate office, and a girls ' sandwichateria. The real estate man, a self-appointed guardian of mans ' morals, has placed in his window, for the benefit of erring students, a placard announcing to the world a firm belief that cigarets enable undertakers to pay their income tax. He urged us to join the anti-cigaret league and help him save the world. Though covering only about a half square block, the school accommoda- tions almost four and a half thousand pupils, and these with the smell of the chemistry, zoology, and cooking departments anesthatize Lewis students to the omnipresent stock yard air in Chicago. As a counter stimulant for this, our cafeteria daily provides us with extra strength aroma of beans, cabbage, tripe, or stew. Upon first seeing the school it looks like a branch of Hart, Schaffner, Marx Co., or a herring factory. It is not so. It is a plain One Hundred Sixty educational mill where an average idiotic student can loiter for two years and if he is brilliantly idiotic he may stretch it to three years. But in this time he can gain as much ignorance as would require four years at, say, Yale, Harvard, or Princeton. The campus is ideally laid out. The campus square is used as a tennis court, surveying field, refuse dump from dormi- tories, and snapshot park. Conveniently near the campus is an adequate number of up-to-date pool rooms, saloons, and cabarets making it worth while for the student to come to school. If the missing link is to lie found, Lewis will be a good place for search. An ample supply of U. of C. students are advised to try Lewis for a quarter or two and it is from there, I believe, we get those with the wide pants and narrow heads. Also present are toddlers, bootleggers, disciples of Freud, sharp shooters, padded shoulder type, patched trousers enthusiasts, negatives of the Simon Binet test, ham actors, pinochle players, thinkers from other schools, Chinese engineers, the rest being not more than ordin arily absent- minded. Life would be miserable for these poor boys were it not for the fact that we have the female of the same species. The girls are as hard to classify as are some Porifera. Mary had her little lamb, and Lewis has its faculty. For tragedy we must look to our professors, and incidentally we will find humor. I shall never forget the first assembly at Lewis, for it was a combination chapel service and concert. I saw about two dozen men and women in stature vary- ing from Mutt and Jeff to Slim and Everett True, walk up lugubriously to the platform while the student body remained standing. In the march I saw a resemblance to a funeral scene and I began to smile at the faculty. I learned afterward never to smile at the faculty. They are the most versatile of all the universities, for each one plays utility fielder to the next. They are the Pooh Bah of teachers. I know one professor who teaches Latin, Music, Greek, and Gymnastics, one who wears a wrist watch, and one who will act as a big brother to any girl — any girl so long as she is pretty. Many of them are possessed by their vanities as deeply as are some dogs by their fleas. I now understand their reluctance to pose for a picture for the Annual. They prefer to use the one taken eight years ago. One point in favor of the facultv is that they are not absentminded — that is, not as absentminded as the average professor. In contrast to the tragedy afforded by the professors we have the library, the comedy of comedies. The school catalogue tells us that The Institute Library consists of about twenty-five thousand volumes and about eleven thousand pamphlets, selected with reference to the needs of each department. It is essentially a working library, containing all necessary reference works, together with representative books in the various sections of history, bio- graphy, literature, fine arts, sociology, economics, philosophy, mathematics, phvsics, chemistry, engineering, and home economics. One hundred and fifty periodicals are currently received. Yet if one is in the English department (which is the best thing at Lewis) and went to look up a work of reference, what would one find? You would find one book by Shaw, one by Galsworthy, chemistry , engineering, and home economics. One hundred and fifty periodi- One Hundred Sixty-one cals are currently received. Vet if one is in the English department (which is the best thing at Lewis) and went to look up a work of reference, what would one find? You would find one book by Shaw, one by Galsworthy, one by Rolland, nothing by Cabell, or Wilde, but something by Elbert Hubbard, Bret Harte, and O. Henry. There is no copy of the Bookman, Dial, Literary Review, Freeman, but there is the Dearborn Independent, Legion Weekly, and the House Beautiful. With its Comstockian censorship and cook book is welcome in the library. Talking is prohibited and only by an act of Con- gress and a note from Rev Williamson may one talk, and then only pianissimo. The demands of the librarian are such that would make squaring the circle an easy task for acute cases of dementia praecox. The dormitory is right behind the school on Monroe Street. The dean, believing that girls should not he away late from the dormitory, allows per- sistent Lotharios to sit on the porch. This makes it quite nice. On summer nights the porch looks like the deck of a moonlight excursion boat. The dear director of Lewis ( recognizing the infantile qualities of the students) allows dancing in the gymnasium every noon hour for the same reason that lollypops are given to babies. There the sharp shooters gather and the scene takes on an appearance that would make the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet look like street gang warfare. And for these dear things after a weary day studying, a tea room is maintained in the school. The motto of the dancing boys is S. T. W. ( ' ..(Strung Tea and Weak Girls). Lewis is a Christian institution, but not too Christian. Chapel or As- sembly is held the first Monday of each month for one hour. This gives the students an opportunty to learn of the activities that are taking place at Lewis. At each assembly a plea is made to support this or that activity, or near the end of the year, the Annual — and maybe forgotten until next month. By the very kind consideration of the school a debate is held every quarter giving a year ' s scholarship fur excellence in public speaking, thus relieving the students of being annoyed by announcements, pleas, hymns, or solos by former Lewis students. The apparent motto of the assembly is: I call a complete and generous education that which tits a man to perform skillfully and magnanimously all the offices, both public and private, of peace and war. But I wonder if the board of trustees bore Milton in mind when they annexed the well known building that demobilization found the Institute in possession of (to quote the catalogue). Maybe one of the 500 in the Veteran ' s Bureau knows who lost it? If there are any secret societies at Lewis they are succeeding admirably in keeping it a secret. For one week during the year some club lets the school know- that its members do something else than spoon nightly. On that occa- sion some of its members wear their collars marked or wear small monkey caps. All these quite innocent doings remind one of the practices of Bimbo, the Human Ape. One Hundred Sixty-tiro I know that the girls have sonic clubs because I see group pictures of them in the Annual. The orchestra, I am glad to say, does not orchest, and to the unfortunate ones who stay in school after -I — I extend dee]) sympathy, for it is then that the orchestra practices. There is a students ' council, which really has a voice in the affairs of the school and for one thing, has secured a bulletin board in our lobby. The only club I really heard of is the bachelors ' club. It is composed of men who tried the free breakfasts offered by the home economics department. Yearly a picnic is given for the good little boys at Lewis. The grounds are chosen not far from the schools, usually somewhere west, just outside of the city. The right to the grounds is not marred by any new stuff. The girls get a little frisky and sing, Hail, hail, the gang ' s all here, but instead of singing What the he — 11 to we care, they sing, We musn ' t say the naughty word. At the grounds there are new stunts such as sack races, girls ' 100 yard dash, wienie roasts, picture taking, and hoop races. Ten years from now they will get real bold, and maybe have a relay for girls. In spite of everything, Lewis is to me like a bad child to its mother. I love it still. I love the groove in the entrance step that intelligence seekers have made by their constant treading. I feel sure of not slipping on rajny days because of that. I love the brand of paper towels that are profusely served. The meals in the cafeteria are cheap — and so is the tuition, for each student pays less than forty per cent of the cost of what he receives. Lewis is liberally endowed, and in our sober moments we thank Allen C. Lewis for that. And last, but not least, if I am to be taken as an example I can say that I have been put privy to all worldly things at Lewis, bv its faculty, by its campus, and by its neighborhood. I sing my swan song with a twinkle in my eye which says : Don ' t tell me that — I know better, for I went to Lewis. Reuben Seid. One Hundred Sixty-three One Hundred Sixty-four EMILY ' S NICOTINE By George Boller. What are you doing here? It was the best Elmer could say. All the while he spoke he was looking into a pair of blue eyes, which were not foreign to him and which had never failed to disturb his usual calm. He never really understood Emily. That was why he loved her. This is my birthday party, and all the guests have been invited. Well, of course he moved to leave. No, come in. In he went with the guilty feeling a little boy has when he is given a piece of pie by his mother right after he has torn his best pants. Emily meanwhile was not welcoming her guests to her birthday party with her usual vivacity. She recognized them, but that was all. Her mind was on Elmer. Why should he turn up after three years? Not three years approximately, but exactly three years. Three years ago she and he had engaged in a highly romantic talk — one that availed only to separate them. Now he had delightfu lly returned. Had he done so deliberately to spoil her lawn part} ' on her twenty-first birthday? She would not let him spoil it. She would treat him just as if nothing had happened. Take a look around, she said, see if the place looks — well, romantic. Elmer walked aimlessly about the lawn. He regarded the Chinese lan- terns. The candles were more romantic than electric bulbs, but less luminous. Si i was Emily tonight — more romantic than he had hoped, but less luminous. His reflections took him back four summers. When he first met Emily she was seventeen. That was at Lewis. Both had been in the Drama Club play. Neither was an exceptional actor, but Elmer had an ambition to write. Emily hoped to be captivating, especially in the eyes of men. Even at seventeen she dressed and acted the part. She had a positive personality. She did not merely exist, she was alluring. She either enchanted her admirers or she dismissed them. Elmer also had positive characteristics, but they seldom functioned in the presence of Emily. Only once did he ever give impassioned expression to his ideals, and that was three years ago this very night on the dormitory steps back at Lewis. In her college days Emily enjoyed smoking, that is, she appeared to and she insisted that women should be allowed to smoke without incurring the ill-will of society. She learned to inhale as effectively as any Greenwich villager. This riled Elmer. It was all right for men to smoke, but for women — scandalous. On that night three years ago the discussion reached a tragic climax. You may believe in the double standard, snapped Emily, but I don ' t. I recognize the single standard, but I see smoking by women as an exception, countered Elmer. It is practiced by a type you wouldn ' t care to know. How do you know? Go marry your antiquated moral ideas to someone else. That was all. Relations were severed. But three years of absence from her only made her dearer. His experience in the so-called cruel world had changed his mind in regard to women ' s smoking. He had come to regard it as an ordinary occur- One Hundred Sixty-fire rence. Though he did not himself smoke, he saw no reason why Emily should not. His ambition to write had been given an impetus by the receipt only a few days ago of a check for thirty dollars for a short story. He tucked the check in his vest pocket, and mentally labeled it, exhibit number one, for evidence of wealth. And into the pocket of his coat he tucked something else, which he had bought for thirty-eight cents. At eleven o ' clock the lawn festivities began to drag. Emily suggested thai the party adjourn to the house and dance for a little while. When it was nearly midnight and the last lance was announced, Elmer bail made no progress. The orchestra began, and Elmer moved toward Emily. Emily, let ' s dance as we used to do. Emily did not say a word. She simply slid into his dancing embrace. Soon she began to hum the tune to which they were dancing. They took ihe encore and Elmer felt himself getting on. The dance was oxer. The guests were leaving, but Elmer was the last to leave-. Emily followed him to the veranda. Each looked at the swing there, and then at each other. The temptation was too great. Sit down and tell me all about yourself. Emily motioned toward the swing. The cool night air swayed the Chinese lanterns. A thin crescent moon shone down with just enough night to reveal his blissful expression of ecstasy. He told her of his trials at journalism, of his travels in the West, and of his recent success in story writing. She listened and often smiled. Sud- she stopped him short. Elmer, have you the time? Any number of things can run through a man ' s mind while he is fingering for his watch. He thought that all was lost, that she had been leading him to a high pilch, only to drop him. Two thirty-two, he replied. Happy birthday to you, Elmer, and main of them! Emily! he exclaimed. How wonderful of you to remember! I am just three hundred and sixty-four days older than you are. Yes, and that much wiser. Oh, no. By the way, will you smoke? He drew out that package, the one that cost him thirty-eight cents, tore the end, and proffered his peace offering. Why, thank you. Are you going to have one yourself? For your sake, Emily, I ' ll try it. Don ' t you ever smoke, Elmer? No, I don ' t seem to like the taste. But I think you would look bewitch- ing with a fag in your mouth, and I ' m game to smoke with you. She gently pushed the package away. I ' ve rather given it up, Elmer. It seemed to be hurting my wind a little when I played tennis. All I ever really cared for was the right to -mi ike. My darling, you have the right to smoke cigarettes, big black stogies. clay pipes, and corn silk. profound and heavenly silence ensued. The Chinese lanterns blinked. They were tired. A small dark cloud eclipsed the crescent moon. Tt did not stop, but hurried on its weary way. The pendent swing squeaked with each move. It. too, was tired, and it needed oiling. But the romance of Emily and Elmer needed no oiling. They smoothly slipped into a beautiful future, smokeless and clear. One Hundred Sixty-six OUTGROWN OPINIONS Hell, as a definite, physical place was more a fact than an opinion in my early thinking. Hell was feared as a place of punishment and loved as a theo- logical doctrine. At present, when space is an attribute of things, and solids are electric fields, hell has disappeared as a physical reality and become Hades: a shadow belief in shadows, held by shadowy ancients. ' Thus, most of the opinions outgrown have come from a religious atmosphere. We think we have outgrown the light fancies of childhood, the serious thoughts of adolescence, and ideas in the field of the purely informational. In my youth the Republican Party was as much a holy institution as the church : both upheld loyalty and moral rectitude. Of course, some people voted the Democratic ticket, but they were either Rebels who hated negroes and the National Government or the riff-raff of our large cities. These latter, visions and ignorant, had not been Americanized. Had not Abraham Lincoln been a Republican, and doubtless, George Washington? These saints bad founded the nation and saved it from dissolution, and the Republican Party had always maintained their ideas. What a shock to eye-; that are focused for Lincoln when first they try to see Harding! During my first two years of grammar school I thought of all school teachers as old women, and always spoke of them as ladies. I could not understand why my parents spoke of them as girls. Now Tom amazed at the mere children sent out out as grammar school teachers. We children used to play play tag near a certain fence, over which we could climb with great effort. This fence also served as a rampart when we engaged in bean- blowing target practice, with high hats as our favorite mark. Imagine my surprise, upon visiting the scene after an absence of ten years, to find the fence a very small one, and to see what had seemed to be a very, very long stairway to be only eight feet high. In the closing weeks of a youth ' s high school career, his courses are so arranged as to give him an exaggerated opinion of his own importance and usefulness. Then he finds that the world is not to be uplifted by a wholesale effort, but that he who wants to do good must do it in minute details. When sixteen years of age, I was possessed by the conviction that girls were very strange creatures, who were somewhat uninteresting and, at best, of such a different type of animal as to have no interests in common with boys. When I saw on the street girls of my class in high school I would pass bv cm the other side to avoid having to greet them. We had no more dealings with them than a Jew with a Samaritan. What hath time wrought! Xow life without girls would be as prosy as a complicated mathematical integration, and the male of the species would remain always the matter of fact, earthly being, who, like a mountain goat, has his eyes focused downward. Upon leaving high school with world vision and exalted thoughts I burst upon the business world in a very menial position which, paid five dollars a week. Any idea of the equality of man, (or. indeed, my own superiority to most men.) were dissipated by day after day of suppression. Of all the outgrown opinions, that farthest removed from my present state of mind is centered in the words, making the World Safe for Democ- racy. I thought four years ago that the war was being fought for that ideal, and would accomplish that result. Instead, we see tie world ravaged bv the war, thirty million dead and a man as our president who is keeping aloof from the world. Frank Spencer. One Hundred Sixty-seven LIFE IN THE DORMITORY Webster had a weird idea of what a dormitory is. Listen to his definition: dormitory — (fr. dormire — to sleep.) A sleeping room, or a building contain- ing a series of sleeping rooms ; a sleeping apartment capable of containing many beds, esp. one connected with a college, boarding school, monastery, etc. There are several possible explanations of this incredible statement. Per- haps Webster was not well acquainted with dormitories and took the word of some friend who deluded him. Maybe times and dormitories have changed since Webster wrote. The inmates of the dorm do not sleep. They hate to go to bed. They sleep when they have exhausted every other possibility. Some of them even study books to avoid going to bed. Most of the girls reallv don ' t stay up later than at home. At home you stay up hours reading: how much more enjoyable a book seems when you gather two or three kindred spirits into your room and read it to them. At home, if you sit on your bed, your mother expresses her opinion with embarrassing frankness. And when you lie on it in the day-time and rumple the white counterpane, her indignation knows no bounds, although, such is mother ' s inconsistency. Billy, your cat, does the same thing with perfect im- punity. Hut in the dorm it is different. Chairs are used merely to drape clothes on, and to pile sofa pillows on when at last you really must go to bed. When you are entertaining any number up to six, they all sit on your bed ; when more than that, the overflow sits on the floor. That girl is indeed unfortunate who has no friends to sit on her bed and talk to her of cabbages and kings. The thing which makes living in the dormitory worth while is the com- radery of the girls. Of course, you can ' t like all the girls in the house, but you can learn to look for their good points. They all have some. You have your own special friends. There is vast scope for entertainment, for there are numerous girls, and some are always ready to do anything you suggest. Of course, you miss your nightly raids on the ice box at home; but it ' s quite as much fun to go to Haesler ' s almost every night with the gang to imbibe chocolate sodas. Alice M. Adams. One Hundred Sixty-eight One Hundred Sixty-nine THE CONDENSERS Scene: The Steam Lab. Tlie members of the Condenser Club have assembled for their weekly i weakly ) effort. Prof. Wolf has obligingly left the members to themselves. The president, Mr. Carter (Mr. Millison had been elected to that offiee, but he had resigned with the excuse that he had to ■jive up the subject ) has taken the chair. The members of the club arc variously occupied. Mr. Hirsch is busily memorizing his speech which he has written out. Mr. Parks is reading the Korean Daily. Mr. Olsen is trying to wreck the rickety structure which resembles a section of circus eats. Mr. Holmquest lias taken the chair with the wicker seat and is comfortably disposing of a box of raisins ; that ' s the stuff, Holmquest, eat more iron. Mr. Holmquest is a real engineer. He not only builds with iron, he eats it; remarkable man! Mr. Carter ( banging on table with one of Prof. Keller ' s test pieces) ; This club will enme to order. Before we start the meeting, I wish to read a little of Robert ' - Rules of Order. Mr. Olsen : Sure, go ahead. Engineers I in chorus) : Read all day for all we care. Mr. Comstock (authoritatively) : Shut up, you fellows. Come on, let ' s go. (By the way, Mr. Comstock hasn ' t been mentioned as yet. He is the club ' s secretary. The only minutes he keeps, hozvever, arc engraved on the face of his watch. He keeps one eye on the clock and the other ou the door. Pretty girls are apt to loiter through the lab.) Mr. Carter (continuing) : It says here that to close a meeting a motion must be made first, as 1 move this meeting be adjourned. This motion must be seconded. In case, however, a member obtains the floor and says, I make a motion that we- adjourn to meet again in three minutes, his motion super- cedes the first. Mr. Kovarik [without formality): I make a motion we adjourn to meet ten years from now. All those in favor? Engineers (in chorus): Ave! Mr. Kovarik: Motion is carried. I The meeting proceeds, after Mr. Carter has finished with Robert ' s Rules. ) Air. Carter (looking over roll call): The first man on the program is Mr. Carter. As he has spoken already, wc shall call on Mr. Comstock. Mr. Comstock ? Mr. Comstock (rising): Mr. President. I ' m very sorry but due to mat- ters over which I had no control, I was unable to prepare anything for this afternoon. Mr. Carter (glancing at roll call) : Mr. Hirsch? Mr. Hirsch (smiling) : Not prepared Air. Carter: Air. Holmquist? J One Hundred Seventy Mr. Holmquest (with mouth full of raisins) : I was going to talk on iron, Mr. President, but I find I haven ' t enough material. Mr. Kovarik : He ' s swallowed his speech with his raisins. Three groans for Holmquist, a long one on the end. Let ' s go. (The Engineers groan in unison. Mr, Carter raps for order.)

Natalie Flxjhr. nr Hundred Seventy-one ERMINIE (By Percy Ham-and) I wiped from my chin that part of the Eskimo pie, which inevitably escapes the palate, and tip-toed into the auditorium to a front seat. I cursed the Eskimo pie, for it had made me late to Erminie. But good humor returned with the fun and music of the opera. 1 forgot the heat and the wide-spread bobbed hair in front of me and the conversation behind me, and settled back for a keen enjoyment of song, satire, dance, and wit. The minuet, the powdered wig, the maid ' s quaint curtesy, contrived cleverly to carry me out of the West- side, and set me down amidst the gayety of the eighteenth century tavern, where I revelled in the flash of red stockings, the fumes of the flagon, the antics of the waiter, and the lilt of song. The baton of one Tenney held admirable control over voices, piano, action, and in truth, over everything which blended in with making of the whole charm- ing performance. Prof. Tenney here deserves more than a word of congratula- tion, more than a cheer from the cast. He deserves a hearty expression of ap- preciation from the school. For he was a guiding genius, who turned every difficulty into delight ; met every trying situation with characteristc vigor and perseverence ; he carried Erminie through a gauntlet of misfortune, and set her down on the Lewis stage to entertain us, which she did as if a host of professionals had guided her steps through countless rehearsals in which no bad hick had intervened. I will not go into the details of the disheartening difficulties Prof. Tenney had to contend with in the preparation of the play. Xot all of them, however, are generally known. It is no easy task to place the commendation where it belongs in Erminie. For there were so many excellent bits of work in it, that should I attempt to put down here what I should like to put down, the Annual would assume more than regulation dimensions. I think the feeling in unanimous, however, that those merry vagabonds, Binyon and Stanley, belong at the top of the list of entertainers. They were the pillars of the play, the ermine of Erminie. From entrance to exit they swayed the audience by their mere presence, and when they were the masters of ceremonies they held the house in the palms of their hands. Even after they retired to a table back stage, the delicacy with which the red-wigged and ludicrous Binyon attended to his meal, and the excellence with which Stanley said his lines made them the center of attraction and drowned the up-stage acting with applause. Costumes and scenery, and the splendid orchestration rendered by a Ime pianist contributed much to the success of Erminie. And after every contribu- tion to the success of the opera has been mentioned and the applause has died down, it is fitting here to observe that the performance of Erminie sets an- other more significant laurel in the wreath that crowns Lewis ' dramatic endeavor. One Hundred Seventy-two A CLOSE-UP OF EMERSON By Art Smith. I found a seat in time to watch Mr. Smale introduce the speaker. I say watch because one can do no more for the first half hour of a Lewis assem- bly. There are just enough street-cars and alleys and late-comers and colds around and in the auditorium to keep one isolated from the platform. But after a superhuman effort, I got, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Charming, and It gives me great pleasure, and, remembering that Emerson is dead, and reasoning that some one was to talk about him, I concluded that the stranger on the platform was the one who would talk. Then Mr. Smale turned to the strange gentleman, and the hall miracu- lously became quiet enough for me to hear a few words more. Present to you — ' Bang! — Biff! interceded the alley-door, and I heard no more until the last of the overalled increase in audience martialled himself to a seat. When the tumult subsided, I learned that when the speaker was twenty- one he had been ushered, feeling sure there was a pit in his stomach, into the presence of Ralph Waldo Emerson. After meeting Emerson, he discovered, as any one who has the experience discovers, that great people, close-up, are no less human than great. Many charming anecdotes followed, fragments of which I apprehended in spite of the uproar about me. I also heard many entertaining tho ' irrelevant remarks from speciously interested students; remarks like Who is this guy? What ' s he talking about? Who ' s gonna win the game today? I saw Ethel in the tea-room, and what do you think she told me? Gosh! Twenty minutes more of this, punctuated with bangs from doors, slams from seats, growls from street-cars, and blusters from belligerent noses. The gentleman who spoke was a sure speaker and a kindly man. He was gray and gracious, sincere and humorous, oratorical and concrete. He made you feel a first-hand respect for Emerson, a respect that was heightened until it became warm and colorful and was something more than respect. Forty minutes talk on any one man cannot be more than a sketch of him, but the sketch can be a ludicrous cartoon, a foggy etching, a running water- color, or a clear and endearing portrait. A sketch is usually a nucleus for a work of art, but a work of art is sometimes no more than a sketch, and a sketch may be decidedly a work of art. This picture of Emerson was a clear and endearing portrait — was a work of art. I am judging this, as I have stated, from the evidence of ears that had to fight to retain any word in the lecture, but the samples I heard proved to me the excellence of the whole. Emerson grew before me to be more than a pen — more than a tongue. He became a man; a sensible man, a good man. He assumed his own peculiar human dimensions of body, habits, dress, convic- tions, brains, and easily, clearly, surely appeared as a man with long legs and long arms, with big hands and big feet, with an ill-fitting frock-coat and not- too-neat trousers, with a stand-up collar, with eyes that looked not merely a ' but into, that pierced and studied and dreamed, that saw. This picture, then, became animated with thought and motion. It be- One Hundred Seventy-three came evident that this man hated (if he hated at all) depots whether kings, slave-holders, or tobacco; that he loved freedom, flowers, and folks. No one ever made me feel the presence of a man more than this lecturer did, and I hope to keep it somewhere within me, that it will always lie a living portrait ; with a voice to remind me, with eyes to inspire me ; so that in spite of growling street-cars, howling newspapers, haggling mortals, and a hundred and one other obstacles of modern life, I may have before me the constant realization that ideals — my own ideals — are what I am living for. After the lecture I approached Mr. Smale with a question in my mind. No doubt I was somewhat shamefaced. hat ' s (in your mind? he inquired, characteristically lending me his ear. by. ah, I began, Wasn ' t that a beatuiful indictment of tobacco, that Emerson expressed. Smale smiled. Yes, he agreed, it was. What ' s on your mind: hat was that lecturer ' s name? I asked. Woodbury, he obliged, Charles F. Woodbury. So, that was his name. Fine old gentleman, I meditated. Hope I don ' t forget him either, and I went out on the street and lit an indicted cigaret. RIGHT FORMATION The football game was over and at the parlor grate A maid and long-haired youth were lingering rather late. They talked of goal- and touchdowns, but found it rather tame, Till cupid put his nose-guard on and butted in the game. Quoth he, It ' s mighty funny if I don ' t arrange a match. So he lined the couple up, and made them toe the scratch. The youth was growing nervous neath the weight of new found bliss, And he kinder thought the scrimmage ought to end up with a kiss. He charged upon the center, she tackled left and right. And the way they held that chair for downs was simply out of sight. He tried an osculation, just an amateur affair. But lost it on a fumble and instead it struck the air. Then as he landed on his ear he heard the maiden say, You ' re penalized for holding. Jim; likewise for off-side play. With set toe he tried another, this time succeeded fine. For he scored an easy touchdown on the crimson two inch line. And as they sat there by the grate, communing soul to soul, The parlor door swung open and father kicked the goal. One Hundred Seventy-four RUMINATIONS OF A GLUTTON I am a glutton. Not one of these greasy pork, steaming potatoes gour- mands, but a nice, chocolate eclaire type. I can eat sweet potatoes, pie, ice cream, and preserved strawberries, and still preserve my portability. My appetite knows no morning, noon, and night. During the past year 1 have eaten ice cream at every hour of the twenty-four. I treat others because that gives me an excuse to eat also. There are well defined methods of approach to ice cream — the habitual, the accidental, the careless, the determined, and the ravenous. 1 use all meth- ods except the accidental. 1 lift up mine eyes to the hills. h that they were of ice cream, with lakes of grape juice nestling in the valleys! Those heavy white clouds are surely cream. The dark ones are chocolate or maple. The sunrise is done in straw- berry or orange. Our literature might have been greatlv sweetened had our authors eaten. ice cream. Suppose Byron had had that delicious food instead of vinegar and rice! I ' oe might have changed the Rue Mcrgue to a Kingdom Come with a Little Shepherd. Ice cream, Dr. Tenney, might have converted the Miserere into a Halle- lujah Chorus. Let us consider the gift of ice to the sick Rich the Lion-Hearted. Then, instead of fighting Saladin who gave it, Richard fought Phillip. Had it been ice cream instead of ice, Richard might have conquered the Pope ' s domain in the name of the Prophet. American History has been discussed from the economic, religious, and Constitutional points of view. Let us hope for a writer to give us a Gastro- nomical Survey of American History. What was the effect upon the great Ohio valley democratic movement of a diet of raw pork and whiskey? Miss Hood should have a student ascertain if the continual consumption of com muffins caused the South to start the Civil War. Finally, a hint to the Veterans: If the girls of the Casual Club would serve ice cream to the Senators they would surely pass the Bonus Bill. Frank G. Spencer. One Hundred Seventy-fivi WHAT TO EAT By Arthur Gordon Smith. It is noon. I go into the restaurant. A Greek with a white greasy apron and a black greasy face is taking the orders of hurried hungry people who sit about me at a marble counter, and hurling them at a square hole in the wall at the rear from which the echo drifts back into the dining room along with the smoke of frying pork-chops. I pick up a menu, merely from force of habit, because I know it contains nothing new, and, scanning it, I find myself down among the salads and refreshments before I am aware that the frowning waiter is upon me. Piqued at my obvious indecision he endeavors to humiliate me by saying Whatarya gonna have, boy? And not getting a reply gives me a withering look, brushes the crumbs of my predecessor into my unprotected lap, and moves on to my neighbor whom I watch eagerly, hoping to gain a help- ful suggestion from him. 1 am disappointed. My neighbor is asking for pie. I turn to the diner on my opposite side only to find that he is in the last throes of a struggle with an imperfectly malleable steak, which is evidenced by the bulging veins of his neck and the creases in the hand which holds the knife. In desperation, I again turn to my menu — Roast Beef Lamb Stew Pork Chops Beef Stew Roast Veal — and on over the drab contents my eye travels until it wanders among the sandwiches. I feel once mure the presence of the heavy browed boy from Boeotia, who has halted his culinary calesthenics for a moment (a great con- descension I am led to feel) in order to give me one more chance to speak for my grain of corn. His attention is truly touching. Roast beef, he offers by way of suggestion I close my eyes. I hold the much thumbed menu before me. Blindly I place my finger on its greasy sur- face Slowly I open my eyes and read my sentence. The Athenian Res- taurant. I gaze weakly at the waiter. Pointing in the direction of Delphi at the rear I say Ask the oracle. All out, he says. Roast veal. Just as you say, I mumble. He shouts. The echoes come back. I get my roast veal and am satisfied. In the midst of my meal I look up. Dishes are crashing, glasses are clanking, the cash-register is ringing. Up and down the counter the jaws go up and down. We are forty feeding like one. One Hundred Seventy-six One Hundred Seventy-seven IMAGINARY CONVERSATIONS DOCTOR LEWIS AND WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE By Arthur Smith Shake: Well, Doc, this is a pleasant surprise! You haven ' t changed much, excepting for your right hand. I declare it seems to have withered awav to half its old size. In the name of Queen Bess, what ' s happened to your good right tin ? Doc: Hello Bill! Well, well, you get to look more like me every day. Ale right hand? Freshman themes Bill; freshman themes and a blue pencil have just about done up me hand. But it ' s still good for a shake. Put ' er there Bill old hoy. Shake : That I will. Doc, and that right heartily. But sit thee down here under the grape arbor, and tell me what ' s happened to the old world since I have been in exile. Do kings still rule the earth? May a man yet steal his neighbor ' s doe? Is my work forgotten? Tell me, doc, do the fates still foil man and maid ? Is there yet — Doc: Take me with you, Bill, take me with you. I am but mortal, and one question at a time will do. As for your first question, on page 149 three lines from the bottom, in Force ' s Archives you will find the information that certain colonies founded under the name of King George in the new country of America, have revolted, and now form an independent nation, with the in- teresting slogan, ' All men are created equal And on the first page of the Herald and Examiner, December 22, 1918, on the top you may read the news that an enterprising group of peddlers and farmers called bolshevists, unde the leadership of one Russian-American Jew of the name of Trotsky, have overthrown the Czar of Russia. In short, sir, the earth is no longer ruled by king-. It is ruled by the dollar. As for stealing your neighbor ' s doe, let me say that the only does left upon the weary world are kept in caged places called zoos, or are searching for grass and moss far from the haunts of man. You may. however, steal your neighbor ' s d-o-u-g-h with perfect impunity. Yes, Bill, the fates still foil man and maid, and the man and the maid still think they can foil the fates. Shake: Admirably answered. But my good friend, this is lint a evele of events. The world has not really changed? But, no matter, tell me about my work. Doc : Your work, my illustrious friend, is still popular, and at the present time is running a close second to the incomparable writings of one Harold Bel! Wright who holds the public gaping at the point of his pen from month to month. All people of the world from kitchen maid to merchant ' s lady ; from butcher-boy to the president of the coal miners ' union, believe in the immor- tality of Shakespeare, and the indispensability of Wright. Shake: Immensely gratifying! Doc : Immensely. But now tell me in a few well chosen words what you are writing. I see you have manuscript scattered about. Do you write of assassinations, love. war. frolic, or metaphysics? One Hundred Seventy-eight Shake: My good friend, I write of the beauty of this fair garden. I write not of kings and queens, and the intrigues of nations. I write not of murder or of the machinations of witches, nor yet of the ventures of youth and maid. I write of the heart of the harebell, the light of the lily, the industry of the ant, of the deep strange starlight of the moss-lined well. I dream, be- times, of the wonder of slender shafts from the moon, where they drop through the natural portals of this grape orbor, when June is sleeping; for then do tears and laughter strangerly struggle in my throat. Doc : Delectable diversion ! Such reverie as may be found today only in Neebish, Michigan. There is another garden, Bill, which is very different from your garden. Few people see it as a garden, and few have time to look upon moonbeams there. It is far off in Chicago, in a section of that city called the West Side. No harebells grace the oak-roots there. But there are Roses, such Roses, Bill, as never wooed the breezes of England. But in this garden grow strange things. ' Tis walled with ugly brick, and clouded with smoke, and crowded with human impossibilities. It has a shell like that of a black wal- nut, but it is pregnant with human plants that bud and bloom and fade; that are picked in infancy, that are allowed to fade for lack of sun and water, but that grow in spite of all unnatural opposition, in spite of a modern specious cultivation. Oh, Bill, for a man of your inestimable vision, to arrest the aim- less flight of crazy competing bees in this garden, and to make them feel the importance, the wonder, the secret, the beauty under-foot. Man ' s conception of beauty has become so distorted that nothing to him is beautiful that is not artificial, gilded, exaggerated. But for all the painted lips, and glaring signs, and shrieking machinery there are charms for the eye and ear. For you may see, here from Italy, that, albeit is of dirty face and tattered shirt, is a delight to the eye. And you may hear, while passing a teeming tenement, the clear im- passioned voice of a Jew, singing a sad song of his race, ' ' Perhaps the self- same song that found a path through the sad heart of Ruth, as sick for home she stood amid the alien corn. And you may find Madonnas making aesthetic the door-steps of grim buildings And you may — Shake: Enough, Doc, enough of that. It is excrutiating. You have a garden right enough. And I can see its beauty. But the garden has been trodden by the Philistine ; the flowers are daily throttled by greedy, gold-slick hands; the blood of beauty is let out upon steel and stone ' . I see it But good cheer, my doctor, hope not to change this tragedy to the ideal, but keep this to your heart: that one day Time will weed your garden, and care for it. Doc : Have you the time ? Shake: The time? No, yonder grape betrays by its droop the time is noon. Must you depart? Doc: Yes, I must return to my Philistines. At 1:10 I am engaged to brow-beat a bunch of them into a fair understanding of your work. It is the cream of the jest, Bill. Good-bye. Shake: Farewell, dear friend.

SHORT HISTORY OF THOMAS MACKENZIE Thomas Godfrey Mackenzie was born some place — ' God knows where, and for reasons yet unknown. Known by his friends as Mac, his way has been fraught with wild parties, and prolonged periods of financial embarrass- ment. Mac went to France, annihilated five batteries of cognac bearers, and was knighted in the Order of Ivory Cubes by Count Creme de Minthe. For this General Pershing greeted him at Brest and turned over to him the finest ' cell in the guardhouse for thirty days. When he went in, he was broke, but when he came out, thanks to his Knighthood in the Order of Ivory Cubes, he was the only man in jail who wasn ' t broke. Xow, at Lewis Institute, Mac plays basketball, runs the 440, and eats copper wire for lunch. His ambition is to avoid work, and have a good time. Favorite saying — who ' s paying for my dinner? Favorite diversions — break- ing ear drums, and pleasing Mr. Rogers. The most versatile man in the world, he goes to church once every seven years, wears red pajamas, and driv es a car for ballot box stuffers on election day. Yea, Mac.

Did you ee the joke about me? Gosh! it is punk. The best thing about this book is the two and a half I paid for it. One Hundred Xinety-fom THE HARD WORKING STAFF First comes Ed. Gavin, the arithmetic teacher He sprints like a deck hand, but talks like a preacher. He ' s sweet on the women ; and he eats cornmeal mash And under his nose grows a little mustache. And then comes Les Weber, well known haberdasher, (They tell me, too, this guy ' s a heart smasher) But his neckties are fine, and his shirts are the best, And somebody cut off the front of his vest. Next comes Orlando who beats on a drum, And helps Mr. Peet put poor cats on the bum. When it comes to the scalpel, that boy ' s a magician, He ' ll be a horse doctor or else a mortician. Now comes Mackenzie, he ' s always a hit, With his antique jokes and second hand wit, He looks like Apollo when he sprints the half mile Which he makes in 3:6 in must elegant style. George Roller ' s the fellow who peddles the coal Which he loads in a wagon and dumps down the hole, He worked on a paper for twenty long years; When he thinks of those days his eyes till with tears. Ed. Connor ' s the conny so stalwart and fine Who packs ' em in tight on the Humboldt Park line, And the women all glance at him, time after time And sigh, and say, Gosh, how I wish he was mine. One Hundred ' Ninety-five Russ Winter ' s the guy who turns on the plugs; He makes light under viaducts to scare away thug--, He ' s a premedic too, beloved of his teachers, And he ' s famous at Lewis for his beautiful features. Now Perusse ' s the boy with the cute marcel wave, He ' s the boy over whom all the ladies do rave, Says he ' ll be a great doctor and bring home the bacon, And win him a stand-in with fair Polly Dakin. Oscar Lebeau is the guy who shoots mugs, When he ' s not out helping his mama beat rugs, And his hair is curly, and kinky, and brown, And he always stands up when he ' s not sitting down. Now Alice is known for miles around For her ability on the typewriter to pound, And her hair is bobbed with many a coil (IrLh) n l she washes it with Mu.lsifi.ed Cocoanut Oil. Frank Comstock ' s the lad who smokes black cigars And designs rubber wheels for trolley cars, He ' s an engineer of highest degree, And he ' s always sober when he ' s not on a spree. And Ole ' s the bird with the Shredded Wheat hair Win j makes pictures and poems that make people stare Each day in the lunch room he eats many wieners And in between times peddles fine window cleaners. — Fred Sedberg. One Hundred Ninety-six BLANK VOICE She paused to list ; Through the singing pines came as Aeolian Harps playing, a gentle sighing; melodious as The pipes of a Celestial choir. Sweetiv swelled and diminished the Divine chords, enthralling the maiden With transcendent delight. Bountiful visions flashed and quivered Before her eyes. Still continued the enslaving melody And still stood the maiden listing, Fascinated, inspired, ethereal. But come away from there now, dear, It ' s only Mac ' s wheezy old corncob You hear. Ole. To Farr — In Erminie Drobnyk has to put his arms around me. And another man has to kiss me twice. Mary Walsh — Who ' s he. Jo — Oh, they ' re hiring him. Mr. Wolf — All the way around this pipe on both sides. Buelah Jackson ' s heart is shellached and enameled. Nothing can hreV: it. However, Gert Hoffmann savs that a diamond could scratch it. THAT ANNUAL So this is what I paid to read ; Two-fifty would have bought a feed. Somebody sure rubed me right. I ' m mad enough to start a fight — Two berries and a half I spent, (Almost enough to pay my rent!) I wish I ' d bought some oil stock, At least it ' s something I could hock. Two-fifty, that ' s an awful fee. And no more kick than Oolong tea. Though you may think there ' s nothing in it. I ' m sure there ' s one born every minute. Sinker One Hundred Ninety -seven THE GENTLE SEX Who did invent that funny name, Was he young and gay, or old and lamer Well, it makes no difference, they ' re all the same. The Gentle Sex. Wlin ijoes upstairs four at a leap Ami gives you a jolt that puts you to sleep Ami leaves you lying there all in a heap? The Gentle Sex. ho is it who smiles at the conny so sweet. As she flips the car on Madison street And scares the poor guy till he ' s cold in the feet? The Gentle Sex. Who spoofs the poor prof to beat the band. And begs him not to leave that F stand, And leaves the room with an A in her hand ? The Gentle Sex. Who smokes cigarettes, perfumed, round, and neat, In a gold plated holder, long and discreet, And scratches the matches, by gosh, on her feet? The Gentle Sex. Who comes up the street wearing big rubber boots, That clatter and clank like a Ford that ' s all loose, And when seen from the rear look like the — deuce ? The Gentle Sex. Who cuts off her hair so it sticks out wide. And makes little curls all around the outside, And tells everybody her hair is her pride? The Gentle Sex. Who drives around in an automobile. And runs over your toes with the ole ' front wheel, And gets into a jam and emits a loud squeal ? The Gentle Sex. Who does all these things, and more we don ' t see. Why mebbe a hundred or more, by gee. But say, man, this can ' t possibly be, The Gentle Sex. Mebbe so — I dunno. Fred Scabcrg.
