The l l.,hLqMa,,4lllv tirst pupil to be enrolled was Enoch A.

General Hovej' says of the earliest history of the Normal School: I need not tell how Ira Moore and I began to instruct a Score or less of students in a tumble-down hall, tumbled up on the top of a grocery house. at an out-1if-the-wav corner in the city of lrlloomington: how the students increased in numbers: how other teachers were added: how Mary lirooks 'run' the experimental school fprimaryl and made it a model: how said hall was tltted and furnished and grew to he comfortable. hating the surroundings: how here we pursued the even tenor of our wav biding our time: for these things are well enough known But there came a time when we were not permitted to go on in peace.

The Normal School life was a strenuous life. It was a struggle for existence. Very few of the people of Illinois had been converted to the normal idea. Most of them regarded the institution as a product of mere wild theorizing. The money expended upon it was looked upon as a dead loss to the commonwealth. Now. to live down all this opposition required tremendous energy, unceasing persistence and an inspiring faith. But we had some coinpensations, or rather relaxations from the intensity. Occasionally there was a little fun. Once upon a time. as I sat at my table in the assembly room. I took a survey of the large company of students before me, and was highly pleased to observe the evidences of intense application to work. About three days before this, observing what seemed to me in the same room a little too much of a disposition to carry on a mixed conver- sation during study hours, I had made an appeal for better things, and in as inwardly rejoic- ing at the indications that the appeal had been successful. All at once a demure looking young lady. who had been sitting not far from my table, and whose industry seemed to be unexceptionable. left her seat and approached me. I knew her very well and had a high respect for her. for she had good capacities and a genial, kindly nature. But I also knew that she had no objection to a little stirring amusement. She approached me with a little mischievous smile upon her face, and in response to my inquiry as to what she would like, responded somewhat as follows: Do you remember that about three days ago you were very insistent in inquiring that we should preserve guufl order in this room? tbl' course the DR. RICHARD EDWARDS The Index truth of her suggestion was acknowledged. Well, she added. have we not been good for three days? This was also very heartily conceded. Well, said she, I wish to sav that I am tired of being good. XVe had a little additional conversation, and she returned to her seat and continued her commendable good behavior. Since leaving the school she has per- formed very creditable work as a teacher in important positions. It is pleasant to think that the Normal University has now passed out of its season of trial. For some time before the close of my own connection with the school, I felt strength- ened bythe conviction that the public sentiment of the state had undergone a radical change in respect to us. The attendance of students had increased from 232 in all departments to TWP. Our annual appropriations had gone up from 512,500 a year to about S3o,HtlU. The people of the state were showing in many ways that they had come to be believers in the necessity of normal schools. and in the duty ol' the state to give them an adequate support. llic.

I take it that something respecting the days of long ago maybe most acceptable. The Index I came from Massachusetts to join the teaching force in October, 1858, and I remained in the faculty until June, 1890. VVhen I came, Bloomington contained about 7,000 people, it had not a foot of pavement, and but very few sidewalks. The fall and early winter of that year were very rainy, so that I had an impressive introduction to Illinois mud. Of course, it was tracked into the school room, where it dried and was set alioat by the sweepers' broom, to settle on books and furniture. One of the students of those days, describing the building nearly twenty-live years afterward, uses this language, to whose truth I can testify from personal knowledge: The walls of the old house were rickety: and iron girders, with huge S's at the ends, held in place the brick masonry. Our assembly room was in the third story. In the second story, were recitation rooms, rather dark, and ill-adapted to our needs. Grocery and hardware stores occupied the flrst floor. The building was heated by a coal stove in each room, and, as Illinois coal is gaseous and explosive, the stove doors were frequently blown open, with loud sounds and clouds of yellow smoke. Notwithstanding these unfavorable conditions, I found here a noble band of about eighty students, many of whom have since made a good record in this and in other states. Some of them are still occupying prominent places in the educational world, some have gone into other occupations, and some have fallen asleep. Mr. Henry B, Norton, one of those students and one of the brightest persons ever grad- uated from the Normal, in writing for the quarter-centennial celebration in 1882. uses the following language, in describing the school and the students in those days: We were shabbily dressed in those days. I think my pantaloons were generally too short, and my coats seemed to have been made for some other person. We were very poor, but very plucky. 'We boarded ourselves, mainly on corn mush, washed the floors and built the tires at Normal Hall, worked hard, lived hard. and were poorly provided with all things. Our parents were sad-faced, struggling pioneers of the prairies. But we were cheery, resolute and happy in our life and in our work.

HEWETT The Index the Illinois Normal University opened the gateways of a new life. We loved it, rejoiced in it, and were thoroughly loyal to its name and fame. We were free in our conduct, to a singular extent. No school rules rested upon us. Our hours and our methods were wholly our own. lVe lived as we pleased, formed our friend- ships and associations, made our calls, and managed our atfairs, entirely at our own choice and pleasure. Very few schools were ever so slightly governed. Nevertheless the record of those days was a thoroughly Spartan one. We were from Puritan households, disciplined in self-restraint. Industry and poverty were our safe-guards. On the first Saturday after my arrival in Bloomington, the rain graciously suspended operation for a little, and I made a trip to Normal, then called The Junction, or North Bloomington. The basement of the building was nearly completed, but all work on it was at a standstill, and had been for many months. The campus was a cornlield, with plenty of cornstalks, but not a tree or shrub upon it. The old farm, of which it formed a part, was bounded by a ditch on the west side of what is now Fell avenue. East of that, was only raw, unbroken prairie. Streets had been laid out, but none were opened. Some ofthe magniiicent elms that now shade the streets had been plantedg but they were mere sticks an inch or two in diam- eter. The house lots of Principal Hovey, where Mr. Augustine now lives, were surrounded by a young hedge just set out: and the lots where Mr. John W. Aldrich lives, had just been plowed. The school was hardly settled in its new quarters when the civil war broke out. A few ofthe young men volunteered at the iirst call, in April, 1801. During the spring term almost all the young men drilled every day. The drill-ground was just where the buildings of the public schools now stand. This spot had been used for the burning of the brick for the walls of the University. It made a very convenient parade ground. The clay for these brick had been dug just where the tirst house east of the Baptist church now stands. The Index During the summer, after the battle of Bull Run, President Hovey, all the teachers but two. and almost all the male students volunteered. In June. 1So2, Richard Edwards was appointed as president. Thomas Metcalf and Al- bert Stetson joined us in the fall. Charles F. Childs, the founder ofthe High School, had come to us a few months earlier. Now began the second stage in the history of this institution. We were all compara- tively young men, full of pluck and a determination to make tl1e school worthy ot regard, and to compel a regard for it. NVe put ourselves into it in full measure. IVe traveled up and down the state attending institutes and teachers' meetings, riding in the trains by night and speaking by day. For several summers, we worked in summer institutes here at Nor- mal, from two to four weeks at a time. tvffhoul ll fm! 0fc.vl1'11 juz-V. Squabbles in the faculty. there were none. Conflicts between the students and faculty were very few. The teachers took part with the students in the work of the societies, and in social affairs, on terms of perfect equality. Une frequent feature of the society work in those days was the comic debate. In these debates, a ludicrous or absurd question was chosen, and then argued with all gravity and seriousness. The tirst one occurred in the winter or spring of 1802, at a time when, in addition to the strain and excitement regarding national ahfairs, there was some friction in the internal af- fairs of the school. The question for debate was something like this: Is Mother Goose to be believed when she said: 'Hey diddle. diddle. the cat's in the riddle. etc.' I had the afiirmative, and presented arguments like the following: The cow might jump over the moon, for no one knows how far ott the moon is. Astronomers pretend to tell us, but they guess at one quarter and multiply by four. Then by a labored calculation, I showed how many tleas a cow would equal in bulk. Then, by multiplying the distance one tlea can jump, by the number of fleas a cow would equal, I had an enormous distance. But, most conclusive of all, I had seen a picture in which the cow was directly over the moon. The Index My opponent, Dr. Sewall, enlarged upon the dangers to society that would follow a faith in Mother Goose. He pictured a little boy sitting on his father's doorstep eating his supper of bread and milk, but nervously clutching spoon and dish all the time, lest they run off together. Then, pulling out of his pocket a copy of Mother Goose, he read: Needles and pins, needles and pins, XVhen a man marries his trouble begins. Then he pathetically showed the dire effect of establishing faith in an author who pro- mulgated such sentiments. I do not remember which side won the debate. But the fun did much to smooth the fric- tion, and comic debates became popular. I have confined these reminiscences to a period of thirty years and more agone. Only a few can tell these old-time stories now, but there are many who can tell the stories of later times. EDXVIN C. HEWETT. 1590-1898. THE KE.-XI, INYENTOR Ulf THE PHUNOGRAPH. And you really think that you know who invented the phonograph? You suppose it to be a modern invention. XVell, it was ever thus. To have one's name spelled incorrectly in the dispatches when he fell on the tield of glory, leading the forlorn hope, is the irony of fate, and so it is to have the glories of a great invention ascribed to some presumptuous fellow who is not entitled to it at all, while the real discoverer is forgotten if indeed he is ever known. But justice has her own way of bringing to the deserving their real reward, and in this particular instance I am the humble instrument of the blind-folded Woman with the seales. It was in the early months of 1816. Gene Baldwin had just come back from the army to resume his studies in the Normal School and to manage the affairs of the Wrig-litonian Society in his inimitable way. He was the quaintest of fellows, as he still is, though now The Index JOHN W. C0014 189099 The Index pressing hard upon sixty. He wrote dramas in which it was my rare pleasure to star. How he ever did it was a mystery. He had a room with the janitor in the basement of the Normal School building, for in those primitive days the professor of dust and ashes was given quarters in the lower regions as a partial compensation for his services. This fact, by the way, was frequently announced by the unmistakable odors of sauerkraut that came up to us all from below. But this is of no matter now and has nothing to do with the phonograph. It was in one of those cavernous apartments that Gene's genius exercised itself and composed his laughable comedies between the setting of the sun on Friday and the rising thereof on the next day. His vein of dramatic capacity had a sudden pull-up, however, proving it to be a pocket after all, and so he betook himself to sundry other devices for the delectation of the beloved society. And thus it was that the Weekly program on a certain Friday was the sensation of the term. It was announced that the long-hoped-for speaking machine had at last material- ized and would appear in several of its choicest acts at the Wrightonian Society on the suc- ceeding Saturday evening. Expectation was on tip-toe. In those days there was a large bookcase on the north side of the partition between the two old society halls, and under it a large and not altogether uncomfortable closet. In front of the case, on the momentous Satur- day evening, stood a box mounted on four legs and hidden by a curtain. After an introduc- tory address, in which Gene retailed his frequent disappointments in endeavoring to perfect a speaking machine, he declared that he had at last been -successful and that it was his peculiar pleasure to demonstrate the fact to an expectant world. He drew the curtain, re- vealed the box, turned a crank, the operation being accompanied by a terrific clatter, and touched a spring. And the thing actually began to talk. Such a craning of necks and clamor of applause! Its speech was brief, the curtain was drawn and the scene was ended. Who was doubled up in the closet talking through the auger hole?

AAAA J mm' HE chief development of the Normal School during the past year, has been in the ' inauguration of the new course of study and in the reorganization of the prac- tice school along the lines laid down by President Tompkins. The new course 'U,,L,wW,U. , is justifying all its promises. Students of superior preparation from our best citv high schools, graduates of village schools, and promising boys and girls fresh from the Ucentrals and finals of the county superintendent-all find lines of work pre- pared for their particular needs. They recite in separate classes in nearly all subjects, even in the senior year. These different forms of the course require two. three and four years respectively. for their completiong they all contain substantially the same subjects: they differ only in the time required in these subjects. All graduates are supposed to reach about the same level in professional skill and knowledge, so far as the normal school can bring this to pass. While each of these three lines is planned for a specific type of ability and preparation, not all of our students conform to any of the three. To secure a measure of flexibility by which each student may satisfy his special needs, it is provided that the individual curricu- lum need not lie wholly in any one of these three forms of the course. He may require two or three terms to get a credit in one branch, and only a single term in another branch of no less importance. Students are thus completing their courses at various dates in the school year. Ten students not enrolled this term will receive their diplomas on May 31. Others are filling up the year with extra studies. The course seems to accord with the wishes of the students. The only apparent excep- Th U 111 dex tions are among those who regard preparing for a certiticate rather than learning to teach as the chief end of man during his residence in Normal. Composition and elementary science, especially as bearing upon agriculture, are required in our state course of studv, but they are not demanded for a teacher's certificate. Hence they are regarded as incidental and useless branches, always to be omitted unless the student has plenty of leisure to waste upon non-essentials. With students limited to four studies and more instructors provided in the faculty. more classes and smaller classes have become possible. As a rule, the classes in the subject are not mere sections of the same classg they stand for different preparation and advance at unequal rates of speed. The new organization of the practice school has brought the Model School and the Nor- mal faculty into closer touch. The head teachers in geography, reading and other branches have general oversight of the matter to be taught in their respective lines, and visit the classes frequently. The professor of the science and art of instruction is supervisor of prac- tice. The president arranges the practical school program, and assigns teachers to the vari- ous classes. A critic teacher in each room to lay out the work from week to week, to examine the daily plans of the student-teacher. to do part of the teaching themselves, and to be present nearly all the time with sympathetic and helpful criticism makes possible a better practice school than we have ever known. The lack of children to teach has been for several years a serious drawback in the prac- tice school. For next year there has been arranged a union with the public school system. Five hundred and forty children in the first eight school years will be distributed among twelve rooms. eight of which will be practice schools, each in charge of a critic teacher. Normal students preparing for high school positions. will have opportunity for training in that field. The preparatory class will be retained in the Normal building: the rest of the high school department of the Model School will be abandoned. The large attendance in the summer of 1900 has induced the State Board of Education to arrange for a summer term as a permanent feature of the school calendar. While The Ind ex primarily established for teachers not formerly enrolled, it is largely attended by regular students who wish to take extra branches or make up deficiences, and by former students, now teaching, who may thus advance in their course. One of the most fortunate results is the increasing number of such people that are induced to press forward to graduation. It is never entirely safe to promise much with regard to the future. If the legislature deals as generously with us as now seems probable. the present snmmer will witness sub- stantial improvements in buildings and grounds, a large addition to our library, additional equipment of laboratories, of the department of art, and a variety of new appointments that will beautify our halls and class rooms. The department of music will be reinstated, and singing will occupy in the daily program the space that it merits. Other departments and additional instructors are planned. The prospects for a continued development are bright. Normal training for teachers is constantly growing in public favor. The heavy expenditure in building and equipping three new institutions may at times give the taxpayer pause, yet no burden is so cheerfully borne as the cost of the public schools. The normal school is essen- tial to their highest efficiency. The hundreds of devoted teachers from this institution are daily demonstrating the value of its work, and are the sure guaranty of its perpetuity. DAVID FELMLEY. Mr. Tompkins' cut could not be secured. thus he was left out. President in 1899-1900. TI-IE PRACTICE SCHOOL 'EQ -w. The Index THE SENIOR EDITORIAL. i. T mm -fL'HE glorious twentieth century dawned upon the dear old Normal with as brilliant I W2 a class of Seniors within its walls as any that has been found there in the past, ' or any that will be welcomed in the future. lbvwwwmj President Felmley said last year at a banquet that this class was especially beloved by the faculty, and the delightful dinner at which we were recently entertained made us positive that the president was right, as he generally is. Our greatness is due to various causes, among others is the unity amid diversity that has characterized the class. This diversity has been strongly brought out in the class meetings, which far surpassed the Ciceronian Society in their opportunity for oratory and debate. The unity has been secured by our having for a leader a true Knight and our un- swerving devotion to XVright. Many and varied have been our experiences. The school has had three presidents dura ing our career, and as a result our class is made up of three distinct types of character. There are those of our number who go about with that self-suflicient air that says. I am a social force. Then we have the ones whose emotional side predominates, their favorite theme is the philosophy of love. The third class revel in the realm of intellect. They say with Bacon and Felmley, I have taken all knowledge to be my province. A certain lecturer gives an original version of an old passage. It used to be Open your mouth and the Lord will till it. He says, Fill your mouth and the Lord will open it. Now the Seniors of 1001 have gone through the lilling process. W'e each bought a copy of Rosen- kranz because we alwavs obey orders. and we were told to buy a book. We not only did The Index this, but we read the book and we absorbed the book,-one apiece. It is plain to be seen, either by the inductive, deductive or dialectic process ol' reasoning. that if there isn't a speedy outlet for some of this knowledge there must be a terrible explosion. So we are glad to go forth to our work. XVe wish to give a few suggestions that may serve as an aim for the work of the next Section A. In the notices given regarding the use of thc library you will learn that library rules, like the rules of German grammar, have exceptions. Know this also, that Section A is the oufi' exception. If you are fortunate enough to be in Section A, when you are sitting next to a member of your class in the library you may raise your eyes from your book and look at your neighbor for the space of a minute if your neighbor be of the same sex. but if he be of the opposite sex for a half minute. You may even venture to smile or say three words during a period of three hours. 'Notwithstanding the desire we have to enter upon our work we are sorry to leave the sheltering protection of our dear flfuzu 11mfc'1'. XVe love these teachers, who have been such an inspiration to us. Then there is a feeling of regret that comes when we think ofthe effect that our absence must produce. XVhat a desert journey you. who are left, will have when you can no longer pause beside the laughing Brooks and the refreshing lfVells.

Look out- S11 a keep ca re The Index PRESIDENT DAVID FELMLEY A A A A .gui ,T IS a matter of history that personages of humble caliber have sometimes succeeded iff: i P in preserving their own names to posterity by becoming the biographers of great men. ,5 p So here goes. The worst criticism that we have to pass upon our new and our dear s- .f L . 7, president, we shall make right here at the start and have done with it: he 1's11'1' any bzggzv' M1111 he onglzf In be. If some inches were added to his stature he might be just six feet tall. He weighs x pounds. How old he is, we are not going to tell you, but lest this omission detract too much from the value of our sketch, we will say, if you must know, look in TIIP: INDEX for PS, use the birth-year there given as a subtrahend, 1001 as a minuend, and the remainder will be his age. Our president's complexion is light, so is his hair, and as yet, like that of all of the faculty Kwe did not say Section ADJ, unimpaired. His ears reach to the whisperers' gallery in the southeast corner of the big room. His eyes-well now, we don't know: wife keeps track of such things for our family. He Wears pretty good, well-fitting clothes: his shoes are two in number. Our president never addresses people as say. He can tell a story better than he thinks he can, enjoys a good joke, and can stand one on himself-all but that one about John and why he came to school so early one morning. He is of athletic tendencies, pitches horseshoes with precision, loves to kick the big, black foot ball, lands immense fish at faculty picnics: holds a record of having caught a fly in center-field lSection A vs. Faculty, spring of W53. YVe trust that this personal description, written largely for the benefit of readers of THE INDEX in foreign lands, will be found general enough to be accurate and yet sufficient to insure the speedy identification of our president if he ever be lost. 'U ,S The Index As we turn now to purely mental attributes, we are at once confronted by a difficulty, one that almost of necessity confronts the biographers of remarkable men. VVe are going to make only the most truthful and conservative statements, yet we fear that our characteriza- tion may read to some like wholesale flattery, and most of all quite possibly read so to the president himself. Mr. Felmley's most conspicuous characteristic is his breadth of knowledge. At the Central Illinois Teachers' Association at Decatur this last spring, the chairman of the meet- ing introduced Mr. F. to the audience as the man who could do more things and do them well than any other man he knew. The applause that followed showed that the teachers agreed. VVe have been told by a fellow-collegian of his, that at Michigan University Mr. Felmley easily led his class, not simply in one line, bn! fu af! fines. Some of us who once thought that we might be called upon to do that thing and who now remember how far we came from doing it in any line at all, realize what such a statement means. Our president is a splendid mathematician, is widely read in history and literature, is an all-around and an enthusiastic scientist. a classical scholar, and knows more economics than most of the teachers of economics. It gives us pleasure to have this semi-public chance to say: we con- sidei' Mr. F. the greatest pedagogy man we ever met. Many might not agree with us here, but we have little use for a pedagogy that' is at all foggy, or that is largely theory, or of a pedagogy man who cannot himself teach. That Mr. F. is the quintessence of clearness, is the embodiment of the practical, is a most successful teacher, employing only the very best of methods, no one who knows him at all well will deny. Few men are more honored by the teachers of Illinois than he. Between ten and eleven years ago when the writer came to Normal, the faculty had not yet ceased to wonder at the wealth of learning daily displayed by a late arrival who had come up out of the land of Egypt the fall before. One day President Cook thought he would catch the savant on something that he didn't know. He said: ML Felmley, how deep is The Index such-and-such a river so many miles below so-and-so? The answer came like a flash: lCighteen inches- aasa -if you go out just far enough from the bank. Our president is not to blame for knowing so many things-he can't help it. It is due to his .N'fbf11'fkfl111, as the Germans call itg to his tireless industry, and to his wonderful mem- orv. Sf!1f11'fkf11u means clearness of mental vision. YVho sees more clearly than Mr. ll? Few ever come into contact with him without getting an inspiration towards exactness in knowl- edge. How easily he distinguishes the essential from the non-essential. The latter he may forget: the former he never does. XVe remember that Mr. Cook once said Mr. F. might be tracked by the trail of forgotten things he left behind him. But that was only a brotherly slander. XVhy, Mr. F. collected electric light bills for years in this town and never forgot the author once. W'e believe him to have the three prerequisites of a good memory: clear vision, good digestion and a clear conscience. Nature made our president a tireless worker. His friends are sometimes fearful that he may work too hard. No wonder he knows a lot. lt's like the case of the reservoir fed continually and by the clearest of streams, and losing nothing from leakage. Hut we must be brief. VVe were not asked to write the whole INDEX. Our president is an orator. He speaks with more exactness and more fluency off-hand than most of us poor mortals with the most painstaking preparation. The influence that such a man may have upon others is wonderful. XVe do not mean simply from the platform, but in the common every-day affairs of life. Mr. Felmiley has usually been regarded as a radical. Hut those that know him best, know that there isa conservative vein running through his nature, that he is a defender and lover of many dear old ways. Now that he has the fate of a great school on his hands he has become as careful and judicial as could be wished. He is a true democrat and has the well-being of the common people at heart. He has boundless faith in human nature: does not accept the total depravity idea at all. He has the religion of an honest man. 'What devotion to duty and to principle is, that one learns when he learns to know him. Very unjustly have those judged him who have attributed to him a cold heart. The Index He sees the mistakes of others so plainly and points them out so clearly, his hatred of inex- actness is so intense, his love of truth is so strong, that the vigorous assaults he makes in his classroom against error seem almost like personal attacks. Yet his heart is big and he feels just as much like crying when he has to Hunk anybody as do all the rest of the fac- ulty. He is popular with the students. lVe like him if he does roast us in Rozenkranzf' Section A puts it. President Felmley's beautiful home is made happy by the love of a genuine and charm- ing woman, and by three bright children. VVith the utmost confidence, students, faculty, alumni, friends of the Illinois State Nor- mal University look forward towards its future under the direction of this man. VVe have concluded upon reading through what we have written that the above might not make the author famous, and will simply sign an initial that may stand for anything from Madagascar to Misery and Mystery.

How can Mr. Manchester ever see those puns in Cicero without having us to point them out to him? How can Mr. Ammerman ever prove rectangle A equivalent to rectangle Al without us to guide his wandering steps? How can President Felmley ever know what is best for the school without us to show him just what steps he should take? 0 fated I.S.N.U. what :riff your faculty do without us. for we cannot stay with you forever, though some of us have been with vou for many years and are apt to stay longer yet than the one short year which seems now to intervene between the present and the time when we must say good-bye. But we will keep a watchful eye on you in future years when we are not with you and will be ever ready to stand between you and danger. If you ever need any advice. if your faculty ever gets in so deep that it cannot get out do not fail to call on us. Vtfhat heads we have to be SLIYC. VVhat a faculty for flunking. Surely there was never a class that could excel us in this. XYhat girls we have. Whenever they play tennis they are sure that the side that gets love wins. If it be basket ball with the girls of Section A they impress indelibly upon the minds of those girls how great is Section C. XVhat artists D The Index they are, else how could they ever get up such complexions. ln short what a Gay, Sweet, Blisstfull crowd they areg surely they cannot help making great marks in the world. And the boys! lVe know that every one of them will be president, though it may be of a committee of one whose object is to see that some one of the girls has a sufficient knowl- edge of the heavenly bodies. If the brain were the only vital spot in the body there would be no danger at all in war for them. lf the battle were fought with swords they would be sure to come out ahead, for they are very tleet of foot. But really now, although we have our faults as does everybody else, we are as much in love with the work we have chosen and have as earnest desires to do good in the world as any class which has ever been in Normal. We felt that we could best serve our fellow men by coming here and preparing ourselves for teachers, and we know that there is no nobler profession than ours. Some of us have toiled for a year, some for two years and some longer, and it is our earnest desire that when after another year of work we shall have gone out from here and entered upon our chosen profession, the dear old I.S.N.U. can point with pride to each and every one of us and claim us as her children.

Boys' Glee Club Lecture Course Girls' Clee Club Vidette Basket Ball The Index PHILADELPHIA. AAAA LJMLMHE PAST year has been a very profitable one for both of the literary societies. Q El Philadelphia has tried to make her programs valuable to all who have heard ill? them, by having on the programs numbers from the best authors and also the in best possible original numbers. In these efforts we feel that she has met with the greatest success. During the tall term Mr. YVright, the president, was called upon by the society to enter the annual contest between the two societies as one of the de- baters. Though always ready to do all in his power for his society, but feeling that he could not do her justice with both the presidency and the contest, Mr. NVright resigned the presi- dency and Mr. U. J. tlunnell was elected to iill the oftice for the rest ofthe term. As the length ol' the fall term was changed this year from iifteen to twelve weeks the contest came early in the winter term instead of late in the lall term. Hut the president of the fall term did all in his power to forward the cause of 1'hiladelphia in the contest, as did also all other Philadelphians. The contestants worked with a determination to win and were backed by the conhdence of the whole society. But fate decided that we should only win three points, while the XVrightonian Society won four. But we have great hopes for another year, as very superior talent in all lines of society work has been brought to light in the past year. The work of the winter term with Mr. Hoke as president and Miss Harrington as secre- tary was very interesting. Though we did not have as many programs as usual on account of several lectures which occurred on Saturday evening. those which were given were of such a character that it would be hard to surpass them in excellence. Everyone who took part in these programs seemed to be tilled with the determination with which Mr. Cavins, at the PHILADELPHIAN HALL. D6 The Index time of the dedication of the new hall, said that everyone who took part in the programs should be tilled, namely, that he would be prepared to do his very best before he dared to appear on Philadelphia's new stage- During the spring term, with Mr. Rape as president and Miss Penstone as secretary, we feel that we have done good work. In order to further uphold the principle which we main- tain, that all our programs should give to those who hear them something which is worth taking away with them and retaining, we have made it a characteristic feature of our IWFO- grams that each should be founded on some central idea. Some of them have been founded on the works of certain great authors and others on dihferent phases of life. Though they have caused some extra effort and persistence we feel that the results have amply repaid all. The usual Philadelphian play was given May 4. Heretofore this has been one of Shake- speare's plays, but believing that these should not be attempted by any but expert actors we thought it best to give a modern play. The one chosen was Diamonds and Hearts, 'a very interesting play in three acts. Philadelphia's past has been a glorious one. She has had a function to fultill and it has been well fultilled. But this is an age of progress. Philadelphia must not be content with what she has done and is doing but she must have the ideal which she seeks to attain ever in advance and ever advancing.

Q3 blessing it has been to our school. A tine opportunity for all its members to .ala QM. develop their talents along literary lines especially, and entertainments are fur- nished that are of great value to those who take part and to those who listen. The year's work opened with Vernon Skiles as president, and Jessie Wells as secretary. The special characteristic of all the programs is the increase of original numbers, perhaps that was more noticeable in the tall and winter terms than in the spring, at which time it is always very hard to do much vigorous mind work aside from the regular school duties. But even in the spring term very few Saturday evenings have passed without at least three orig- inal numbers. The increase in that kind of work is certainly a strong proof ofthe progress of our society. Our programs could not be of half the value that they now are Without the occa- sional farces, and the regular recitations and musical numbers, but all should be urged to take part in our orations, essays and debates, as the participant gains a vast amount more from the latter class than from the former. Owing to the change in the length of the terms, new oflicers had to be elected before Thanksgiving. It was thought by some to be a bad plan for the contest work to be dropped by one set of oflicers and taken up by another, bpt all eagerly helped each other, and every- thing vvent smoothly. William Otto was president, and Carrie Sparks, secretary. The con- test was a grand success, and Wrightonia was again victorious. WRIGHTONIAN HALL. D The Index During the spring term, Carrie Sparks has been our president, and Jacob Heinzelman our secretary. That they have been good leaders and have had faithful helpers is shown by the excellency of the programs, and the fact that the attendance has been far better than is usual in the spring' term. ln order to pay off the debt that is hanging over XVrightonia's shoulders, it was thought best to give a play. The play, Esmeralda, was given April 27, and reflected much credit upon the actors and upon those who trained the actors. The following is a synopsis of the play, and the play caste: ESlVlERALDA.

AAAA N DECEMBER ZH, l'MMl, in Normal Hall, occurred the Fortieth Annual Contest t K between the Philadelphian and Wrightonian Societies. For several weeks before 1' there had been manifest a more intense patriotism of the student to his society. ii MA A' The black and orange, or the lemon and lavender streamed out to the breeze from each student's shoulder. It was a sight that reminded one of descriptions of the tournaments in the olden times. Minature color rushes were common, and tongue contests, oh. my! It was generally remarked that the enthusiasm was the highest that it had been for many, many years. The president of each society seemed to carry with him a wholesale supply of enthusiasm powders. Monday night, of the contest week, the Philadelphians gathered in their society hall to encourage their contestants. Many rousing speeches were made. which resulted in such unbounded enthusiasm that Miss Colby was compelled to give us a little friendly scolding. Here. also, Mr. Bogardus suggested that each one should carry the hind foot of a rabbit in his pocket contest evening. YVednesday of the same week a basket ball game was played between the rival societies. Philadelphia came out victorious. But the VVrightonians still undaunted looked forward to the contest of intellectual power on the following Thurday night. At last Thursday came. At an early hour the hall began to fill. and by the time the judges arrived every seat was occupied. The scene was an inter- esting one. Enthusiasm and confidence manifested itself on almost every face. Of coulse each one kzzctu that his contestant would win. How could he help but do so? Hadn't he heard the contestants rehearse their parts, and didn't he know how well each contestant was prepared? The Index l irst came the debate. This partook more largely ofthe conibative character than has the average debate in the past. From the opening sentence to the close a battle royal was on, and when it was ended it required the practiced eye of an expert to say, 'Here one force gained ground and the other lost. ' But the thought work was worthy even of the keen Hawkes' eye and the candid XVright mind. The delivery of all the debaters was ex- ceptionally good. The musical numbers were all very pleasing. Miss Vail, the Philadelphian contestant in vocal music, pleased most in her second selection, The Qpringtinief' Miss File, the op- posing Wrightonian contestant, pleased most in her first selection and in the softer strains. XVe all agreed with the young gentleman who said, Those sweet, sweet songs! I could not think of contest. Miss Carroll, the instrumentalist for the l hiladelphian Society, made us hear the robins J and their companions chirping, and we enjoyed them even to smiling when they battled a bit in the tree tops. Miss lVyllie pleased in the gentle falling, close handed runs with which Chopin links his more serious thought. Even the casual observer could see that Miss XVyllie had great talent. Miss Mills, the essayist for 1 hiladelphia, gave a very accurate and interesting presenta- 3 tion of the Faust idea, following Goethe's treatment closely. Miss Mills' delivery was verv good. Miss Robinson's theme, Individual Liberty, was well written, and had tl1e contest- ant been at her normal standard of delivery, the decision might have been reversed. Miss Page, the winner in the contest in recitation, has a pleasing presence and power which she has never used and possibly does not suspect herself possessed of. Miss Haines. the opponent, easily held her audience by her presence, power of interpretation and sincerity. Mr. Barton's oration was up to the usual standard of his excellent work. Mr. l orden's oration won because 'tthe man, the subject and the occasion happily united and produced an effect that could not be produced with any one of these elements lacking. The decision of the judges awarded the debate, instrumental music and the oration to the lVrightonians, and the vocal music, the essay and the declamation to the Philadelphians, 413 D The Index PRQGRAM INTER-SUCIETY CCNTEST.

AAAA CHRUNICLING the year's work of the Ciceronian Society the writer believes that ni -Mi . . -- . gig not onlv the pleasures, the successes, the triumphs, but also the dimculties encoun- ' f '-'si ' . . . , Wim tered should be given. At the beginning of the fall term a new party was organized y , 1 I., f,i,i ' -the Conservative. During the previous year the Ciceronian party had simply de- molished the Liberal party. The Conservatives, however, were able to cope with the mighty Ciceronians, electing every president during the year except two. The presidents for the year, in their order of service. were: Gunnell, Hoke, Stice, McMurtry, Ropp and Boggess. As usual the strong work ofthe society has been its debates. Many questions, were debated on, the proper settlement of which is of vital importance to home as well as national interests. For example, it was decided after the most exhaustive and fiery discussion, that a curfew law requiring all Normal boys under 22 years to be at home by 9 p.m., unless accom- panied by a lady, would not conserve the best interests of the town. Again, the question of the advisability of uniting the Model School ofthe University and the Normal Public Schools was vigorously discussed, and the proposed plan was endorsed as having very decided advant- ages for town and university. Next day at the election, the union was upheld by the voters of the city by a two to one vote. Other examples of the wisdom obtained in debates could be cited. The Model Senate meetings have been a strong feature of the year's work. Messrs. Hoke, Fink and Morton have been the honorable presidents of the Senate. Their work has been characterized by carefulness and precision, quickness and fairness in deciding parli- mentary questions, and devotion to the best interests of the Senate. Early in the fall term the Senate held an open meeting to which the Sapphonian Society CICERO SOCIETY ,H The Index was invited. A bill providing for woman suffrage was discussed and voted upon. The pow- erful logic put forth by the opposition to the bill caused a majority of the senators to vote against it. Shortly after this meeting the Sapphonians gave us an elegant reception, serving smiles and refreshments in the most fascinating manner. Many a stern Ciceronian went away with a beaming countenance and light heart. April 19th the Ciceronians gave a re- ception to the Sapphonians. A large number of Sapphonians availed themselves of the op- portunity of making the evening's entertainment pleasing to the Ciceronians and everybody else. Perhaps no social functions that are carried on by the students are more enjoyable than these receptions. They have just one failing-too few. The conditions under which the Ciceronian Society lives today are far different from what they were years ago. The writer does not wish to be pessimistic in his views, but the fact that Cicero is not the strong organization that it was years ago must be recognized. There are a number of causes for this condition. In former years the only athletics indulged in were base ball, foot ball and tennis. All practicing was done out of doors. Much of the year, therefore, was deprived of active sports owing to bad weather. Now, with the gymna- sium, the most active sport and the one indulged in by the greatest number of students is basket ball, and winter is the best time for it. Adding the basket ball to the other three we have plenty of sport all year. In sports there are more chances for distinction and diver- sion from study than can be found in literary work. Then, too, many of our brightest men are occupied now in striving for a place on the Oshkosh debating team, the Beach prize and the inter-state oratorical contests. These various sports and enterprises which have grown up in recent years have sapped the Ciceronian Society, and the greater societies of Wright- onia and Philadelphia as well, of much of their best brains and energy. Since there are not enough men in the school to run all of these enterprises successfully by division of labor some of them must necessarily lag, droop and finally die. Of course we all hope that Cicero will live and prosper, but the struggle is now on and the littest only will survive. I. MCM. The Index HSAPP U. AAAA -0- Q HE Sapphonian Society is the girl's society of the I.S.N.U. You are a Wrigh- Q All T fi tonian or a Philadelphian regardless of your own wish in the matter. The choice 1 l S55 does not lie with the individual, you go where you are drawn. Only those who 'M f care to join the Sapphonian Society do so, and as a consequence all the members U'4IM.LAb'Xv'C ' ' are active ones. The society is organized like a woman's club. There are a number of divisions, called committees, each of which takes up a special line of work which it follows through the year. Each of these committees elect from their number a chairman who directs the work of that committee and presides at the meetings. Having the work ofthe society arranged in this manner, each girl can join that committee in whose work she is the most interested. There is a general meeting of the society every two weeks, and at these meetings one ol' the com- mittees gives the program, the nature oi' which is determined by its line of work. Each committee gives at least three programs a year. The question box is a decidedly interesting feature of these meetings. After the program the girls take time for a little social enjoy- ment and welcome the new girls who have come in. During this school year there have been four committees at work, the Literature, Current History. English History and Music Committees. The Literature Committee meets every two weeks, on Friday evening, at the home of Miss Colby. This year they have read a translation of the Iliad by Leaf, Lange and Meyer. Hy the end of the year the committee will have finished the book, having read about one-third of it each term. The work has been much enjoyed by the girls, for while all were familiar with the story from their knowl- SAPPI-IONIAN SOCIETY The Index edge of the classic myths, they found that to read it as it is written in the simple, picturesque language of Homer added much to their enjoyment. Next year the committee will read Tennyson. The Current History Committee meets every Monday evening for an hour with Miss Hartmann. The importance of this committee is easily seen, for with the rush of school work the girls are likely to slight the newspapers and magazines. This committee practices division of labor. Owing to the size ofthe committee in order that each member may not bring in the same items of news, a special line of work is assigned each one to report ong for ex- ample, one member watches the condition of affairs in China, another reports on foreign news, another on home news and still another on magazine articles. In this way the work is divided and each one knows exactly what she is expected to do. The English History Committee is the successor of the Travel Committee, the girls feel- ing their need of a more thorough knowledge of English History. The committee has not been satisfied with merely learning facts and dates, but has discussed the social conditions and manners and customs of the English people in tlve various periods and reigns. When a selection from literature was found bearing on the age or period studied it was read that the life of the people might be better understood. This committee meets with Miss Wilkins every Friday afternoon. The Music Committee met every YVednesday evening for an hour at Miss KIavity's home. The girls formed a chorus and practiced so that they might sing at the regular society meetings. They also studied the American poets who have had their poems set to music. The second Friday of each term Sappho gives a reception to the new girls of the school. A short program is given and a social time is enjoyed by all. There is no formality about one of these affairs, it being the desire of all the loyal Sapphonians to make the new girls feel at home in their new surroundings. The Index . . THE SIXTH ANNUAL . .

The places on the program were drawn by lot, Irvin Ropp drawing tirst place. Mr. Ropp took for his subject Alexander Hamilton. He handled it well, and spoke distinctly and easily. He was awarded a prize of tive dollars by the Ciceronian Society, of which he is an active member. J. H. Morton took for his subject that beautiful character, Wentlell Phillips. in whom we are all interested because he gave so much of his time and life Work to the suppression ot slavery. The portrayal of such a beautiful character is an incentive to better living. Fred J. Smith entered immediately into the spirit of his theme, The Mastery of Life, and commanded the attention of his audience. He impressed us with the thought that man's eternal weal or woe depends upon his will. Mr. Smith won second place, and received a prize of ten dollars from the Lecture Board. James R. Forden, in his usual easy manner, gave his contest oration. The Salvation The Index Army Idea in Social Reform. Mr. Forden was very much at home on the platform, and his oration was made all the more forcible by the lecture given by Mrs. Ballington Booth, a few weeks previous, on her work in the Salvation Army. Roy F. Barton also gave his contest oration, Spirit of Progress. Mr. Barton's sen- tences were well organized. and he gave his oration with a spirit of earnestness. He was given first prize. After the orations were given, the young women gave their declamations. Mary Elizabeth was given by Esther E. Mohr. Miss Mohr showed great improvement, but was rather unfortunate in her selection. The judges favor the classical selections, and this is as it should be. Meta Zerweck recited A Child's Dream of a Star in a pleasing manner, and showed careful preparation. The Arena Scene, by Lew VVallace, was most excellently rendered by Mamie Haines. Miss Haines possesses the qualities of a good reader. In her appearance on the stage she was vary graceful, her gestures served their purpose of assisting in the expression ot the thought of the selection. Miss Haines was awarded first prize on declamation. The selection given by Gertrude Mills was adapted from Scene I.. Act IH., and the circle scene from Richelieu. Her selection was difficult, but she was equal to the task. and showed that she had made careful preparation. Miss Mills won second prize, ten dollars, given by the Lecture Board. V The Revenge, given by Lulu Edwards, was well rendered. Our young men and young women are tu be commended for their interest in such work. and ought to receive more encouragement. The benefit to be derived from taking part in these contests is not so much gain in dol- lars and cents, though that is quite an item to the student, especially to the one making his own way through schoolg it is the training received in the preparation of the subject to be presented. Such training requires hard work, and is not without its good results in the development of ability to appear and speak well before an audience. Mr. Barton will represent us in the inter-state contest, to lie held at XVarrensl+urg, Ain., May ltl, lfltll. Wye wish him success. The Index LECTURE BOARD. I4 A A A A HE lecture course of this year has, with the exception of one number, been entirely lp yi ,Q new to our Normal audience. This was because the talent was secured through 3' the Inter-State Lecture Bureau instead of the Redpath Bureau, which had always g,',,fQ, 4 been patronized before. The course as a whole has been only fair, and the inten- tion of the board is to return to Mr. Beach and the Redpath Bureau for its talent. The course consisted of eight numbers, as follows: Bostonia Sextette, on Nov. 103 Dr. Robert Nourse, on Dec. og Montaville Flowers, Dec. 153 Mendelssohn Male Quartette, Jan. 5: Maud Ballington Booth, Jan. 18: Inter-State Grand Concert Company, Feb. 22: Oratorical and Declamatory Contest, Feb. 15, George Kennan, March 20. Of these numbers the lectures by Mrs. Booth and Mr. Kennan and the concert by the Inter-State Grand Concert Co, were the best. Mrs. Booth is an earnest speaker, filled with ardor for her theme. She eloquently presented the great needs existing in prison life and clearly set forth the efforts being made by the American Volunteers to assist the down trodden convicts to live a Christian life. Her plea for help was very effective, many of the students pledging the one dollar a month requested. Mr. Kennan spoke in his usual interesting manner. XVe were disappointed in Dr. Robert Nourse. Although he has a reputation as a fine dramatic lecturer his presentation of Dr. Jekyle and Mr. Hyde was anything but wholesome in its influence upon young people, and if a lecture does not have an ultimate good for the students it is a failure, be it ever so interesting. for in this busy world we have not time to spend an evening without the compensation of a spiritual uplift. Good music surely does this, and a lecture should do it also. And on the whole that is what our lecture courses are maintained for. The lecture board for next year has not as yet been made up. Five of the present twelve graduate. But with the energy of Miss Fontaine and the other members of the board we trust that next year, as in the past, the lecture course will be one of the strongest institutions of the school. 14 XV.

AAAA EDNESDAY afternoon, May 8, a party of six, composed of Miss Eva Wilkins, as chaperone, Messrs. George W'right, J. C. Hoke, Roy Skiles, Roy Barton and myself, started for NVarrensburg, Mo., to attend the Inter-State Oratorical Contest, to be held Friday night following. The journey to St. Louis was i W V very pleasant. How could it have been otherwise, since there were but two ladies to receive the attention of four nice young men? Some of the country through which we passed was quite familiar to Mr. Wright, especially around Springfield. He entertained us by pointing out a house where murderers used to liveg also a barn which he had at some previous time painted ered. VVe ate our lunch on board the train that we might ex- pedite matters somewhat and have the few hours' wait in St. Louis free to spend in sight- seeing. It had rained and the streets were quite wet, but we ventured forth and visited a few of the principal china, picture and furniture stores. Sleepers had been provided for us ladies: the gentlemen thought to make themselves comfortable in the chair car. But the chair car was provided with small seats instead of the comfortable chair. They concluded it was better to take a sleeper. In conversation with the conductor one of the young men was heard to remark, when told that all lower berths were taken: Oh, no difference! We can climb like goats! A few minutes after four the next morning the porter told us that we would be in Warrensburg in a few minutes. We were met by the secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ives, who conducted us to the hotel, where we were well provided for. As breakfast was not served until MSO, we concluded to try to get a little more sleep, and went to our rooms. After breakfast we attended chapel at the university, and visited some of the The Index classes. Everything moved on very quietly until the Kansas delegation of So people came with their songs and yells, composed for the occasion. Friday morning was spent in trans- acting business, and speech-making by the visiting delegates, interspersed with music by the Minnesingers of Iowa and the Kansas Chorus. In the afternoon a very interesting game of base ball was played between the Kansas team and the Missouri team. The score was 'J to o in favor of Kansas. In the early part of the evening we were given a free ride on the dummy to a summer resort a few miles from the city. At 8:30 p. m. a large audience had assembled to hear the orators contest for the prizes. Un the program the orators came in the order of the states which they represented. Each orator did well, and according to judges' decision, the 'Wisconsin orator won first place, Kansas second, Illinois third, Mis- souri fourth, and Iowa tifth. Our orator, Mr. Barton, had a most excellently written oration and his delivery was good, but because of the size of the hall he miscalculated and did not make himself heard in all parts of the house. The XVisconsin man had the advantage of being elected a year ahead, and was given all the advantages possible during the year, be- sides he has had quite a little experience in public speaking. In order to avoid making a long wait between trains in Clinton, Ill., on our return trip, we left Warrensburg immedi- ately after the contest. The home trip was just as pleasant as the trip going down. We returned to Normal feeling that we had had a very enjoyable and successful trip- even though we did not win iirst place inthe contestwand resolved to try again next year. Caieieiii R. SPARKS. The Index THE OSHKGSI-I TRIP. A A A A THE l7th of May, our school again for the third time contested in debate with ll, g the Oshkosh Normal. The debaters from our school were William Hawkes, Thomas -X 1,25 Barger and Frances Fletcher. The debate was held at Qshkosh, and Wednesday imiillflifll w noon, May 15, our party of ten, including the debaters, took the train for Chicago. On the way we passed many interesting things, including the ponds through which Professor Manchester's horse was made to wade in days gone by. In the evening of our arrival at Chicago we took the boat for Milwaukee. This boat trip was a new experience to a number of us and one of the most enjoyable things of the trip. The lake was as smooth as could be, so none of us had the experience which generally comes. We reached Milwaukee Friday morning. Here we were much pleased to meet a brother of Mr. Manchester, and he and his wife took us around the city to some of the places of interest. We visited the Mil- waukee Normal, where we were very pleasantly received. They have a beautiful building, but are in the heart of the city, so have no campus such as we have. In the afternoon we visited the Art Gallery, Library and Museum, and after resting an hour in the beautiful park on the lake front, took the train for Oshkosh. On arriving at Oshkosh about 7:15, we were met by a delegation of students and taken to the Normal, where they had prepared a splendid supper to which we all did justice. We were then tendered a reception in the gymnasium. The onlything which marred this was our weariness from the day's sight-seeing in Milwaukee and our not being given a chance to ttfix up. The Index XVe separated at ll to go to our respective places of abode, and after a good night's rest were ready for the entertainment provided by our friends for the next day. In the morning we spent the time in visiting the classes, which was profitable and very enjoyable. In the afternoon our friends took us on a boat ride on the Fox river and Lake NVinnebago. A more enjoyable excursion they could not have planned for the beautiful lakes which are so common in XVisconsin seemed a luxury to us. In fact Professor Manchester got so homesick at sight of the lake that We feared we could never get him to return with us. Friday night came the great event for which we waited. The debate was an excellent one throughout, but we felt that after we had been so royally received we could not take from the Oshkosh people the prize, and in fact the judges so decided. lVe did not win, but we did not feel downhearted, for we'll have another chance at them next year. XVe left Oshkosh Saturday afternoon, returning as we came. The lake was rougher on our return trip, and some of our boys got tired early and went to their state rooms: even eat- ing lemons couldn't induce them to stay up. NVe arrived home the next day tired, but all declaring we had l1ad a delightful trip, feeling the Oshkosh people were perfect entertainers. and wondering what in the world We will do for them when they come to us next year.

And We have tried to exalt the Work of Christ above everything 5' M 'T else. We have tried to reach the girls in a personal way, making them feel that we were their friends. In order to bring them nearer to Christ, we have used all our intiuence against Sunday studying, and have organized Bible and Mission Study Classes in different parts of the town. The devotional meetings have been held in Room 13 every Friday evening from 6:15 to 7:00 o'clock. The leaders and subjects for these meetings were chosen at the beginning of each term, and a written program, bound in a cover decorated with water colors, was given to each member. Miss Pearl Prickett has had charge of this department and she has been an untiring and etlicient worker. Two socials have been held in the gymnasium this year. The first was a mid-summer picnic. to which we invited the Y.M.C.A. and the faculty. Tablecloths were spread on the tloor and upon them was placed a picnic supper. Faculty and students were obliged to as- sume the same level in order lu partake of it. All agreed that we had more fun than we had had since coming to Normal. The next social was in the winter term. Both associations joined in this, and invited the whole school. It, too. was a decided success. The association socials, by the way, have become as popular as the so-called grinds The finances have never been in a better condition than they have this year, thanks to Miss Anna Foreman and her committee. W.C The Index About 125 girls have been enrolled among our number during the year, and the most of them were active members. YVe were especially favored this year by having the state convention in Bloomington where we could all attend and get the inspiration that comes from being brought in contact with those from other parts of the state who are working along the same lines. Four of our number, Misses Grace Allen, Pearl Prickett, May Gvillo and Josephine Serf, president, vice-president, corresponding secretary and chairman of the Bible Study Com- mittee, respectively, attended the summer conference at Lake Geneva, NVisconsin. early in the summer. The helpful inliuence of this conference has been with the girls in all their work and has made them better workers than they could otherwise have been. It is to be hoped that several of the girls can go this summer. The two associations have decided to have a building within the next two years, and a great deal has been done toward it this spring. We feel that it is a great undertaking, but that the work is the Lord's and He will give us the power to do it. In all we have had a prosperous year, but we hope that the Y.W.C.A. of the year to come, under the guidance of the new president, Miss Ruth David, and her cabinet, will far outshine us in results and blessings. GIQACE AI.I.EN. The Index HIGH SCHOOL A Une of the charming social events of the Winter term was the entertainment given at the Gymnasium by the Tenth and Eleventh Grades of the High School to the Prepara- tory on December the fourteenth. It was hoped to make the occasion a most brilliant one by inviting such celebrities as Julia Marlowe. Rudyard Kipling, Li Hung Chang, Queen Wilhelmina and many others. These notables, having been unavoidably detained, and not being able to be present in person, had sent their representatives. who were known to the other guests by slips on their back bearing' the name of some one of these famous persons. Each one had to guess whom he represented by the questions which the other guests asked him.

Rarely has a devotional meeting been omitted. lVith the exception of lllusc' evenings when there were numerous other university attractions, the attendance has been all that could be looked for in so small a body of young men students. Some prominent workers in the execu- tive department of the State Association have presided at these meetings, Mr. W. VV. Dillon. our State College Secretary, has been a source of great inspiration through his wisdom and counsel. His assistant, Mr. liowinan, has also greatly aided us in showing higher ideals of life. Mr. Pletcher of the State University Association helped us to realize our part in the work for the students ot' the state bv giving us something ot' a kindred nature from his association. These, with the leadership of the students intent upon making our association what it ought to be, have lessened the trial, of the iirst leave ot home and friends. for many of the new students. A missionary study class has been conducted during the year. A new course in Bible Study+Scharman's Life of Christeeehas been introduced and should prove verv profitable in the year to come. On the whole the association has been alive and awake to the desire of the students for such an organization among them. VVith the vacancies in the cabinet tilled by competent men and Mr. Mannon to lead them, the association has bright prospects before it and a promising tield of usefulness and service to the Normal University the coming year. J. F. , - 5 The Index i THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB. AAAA Jummlu HE Boys' Glee Club, one of the flourishing organizations of the school, was organ- ? ized at the beginning of the fall term, and immediately entered upon a prosperous in and highly successful career, appearing a number of times in our societies and in ',,..,m,,,,,,,,Ud public. The success of the club was due not only to the high ideals of a glee club entertained by the members, and to their diligent and faithful efforts to realize those ideals, but it was also due to the eliicient and able direction of our musical director, Miss Elizabeth Mavity. Although one of the busiest teachers of the school, Miss Mavity was kind enough to devote two evenings a week to the task of instructing the club, for which kindness the club is very grateful. By indomitable energy and persistant effort the club has gained for itself an enviable reputation, of which it is justly proud. Then hail! yes, three times hail, to the Boys' Glee Club! and may it continue in its successful career. And may the future glee clubs of the I.S.N.U. uphold the reputation handed down to them as a legacy by this the best of glee clubs. BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Index GIRLS' GLEE CLUB. A A A A Lmmn HE Girls' Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the fall term, with Miss W5 ' Mavity as director. About thirty girls were enrolled as members, but some of A ' them had dropped out by the beginning of the winter term. We made our first ' Wmwmd appearance in public at the Convention of ex-Prisoners of War, where we were received with enthusiasm by the veterans. After that we appeared frequently at society meetings, and on all other occasions where music was desired. In fact, we could always be depended on as a last resort when all things else had failed. The calls for our services were so frequent that it was impossible for us to learn new songs for each occasion, and perhaps some of our selections grew rather familiar to the students. At least we were told by one girl that she was tired of Hitting around at our invitationg and at another time we overheard: I suppose the Girls' Glee Club will sing Good Night, Good Night, Beloved, or XVanderiug W'avelets Ebb and Flow. But we let all such things pass by unheeded, with that complacent feeling common to the musical profession, namely, that the critics were not capable of appreciating our great productions. And really, had it not been that nearly every member of the club was able to read music rapidly, we should have been forced either to sing the same things oftener or to have sung on fewer occasions. The club continued to be an organization through the fall and winter terms, and then offered up its life as a sacrifice to the mixed chorus of the spring term. VVe sincerely hope that the readers of TIIP: INDEX will appreciate our picture, for its history is one of many diiliculties finally surmounted. The case was similar to that of the two people who were about to enter upon the matrimonial venture. First we changed our minds, then the photographer changed his, and finally the business manager of THE INDEX changed his, and it looked for a time as if there would be no picture. But at last we all agreed, and here we are. G.M.A. .. - GIRLS' GLEE CLUB. The Index THE VIDETTE. LALA , Q '.HE YIDETTE, as the organ of our Normal School, has a distinct place in its life.

In addition to this the editor and his assistants present those things which have impressed them as they have progressed in their course. They have in a way mirrored the thoughts of the students, showing, or at least trying to show, the attitude of the students toward school conditions as they exist.

A A A A LUJQN FURMER years no account has been taken of any form of athletics except basket l Wil it ball. This year while we have done but little more in other lines of athletic sports l '7 1 i . . ' . . . . ii.: than in former years, we are ot the opinion that the earth is not made to rotate lg! IJ A - . . simply that basket ball may flourish and receive the applaud of the universe while the worlds are kept in ignorance of other equally important things. Any one visiting our campus during the evenings of the fall and spring terms would see merry groups of students engaged in batting balls with large paddle-shaped affairs, while they showed their deep affection toward all mankind by declaring to the whole world in tones of undisputed truthfulness, love forty, love all. What further is needed tn prove that the Normal student is all that could be desired asa teacher, since he has such unbounded interest in humanity. The gridiron, too, comes demanding that it be given just recognition, and while limit ball has not been permitted by the institution for several years. it ventured forth from its hibernation in the fall and we met with other teams upon several occasions, but because of our great modesty we cordially allowed them the privilege of carrying olli the honors. with one exception. XVe were the visitors, and the hearts of our hosts swelled with just pride when, with tears in their eyes and with trembling voices, they told us that it was better. far better to give than to receive. All during the year the boys who were interested in baseball might be lounil during odd moments in the gymnasium undergoing a system of training which should make them invincible in the spring. The tirst game played with the El Paso lligh School, convinced the boys that their practice had not been in vain. PI-IILADELPHIAN BOYS' BASKET BALL The Index A few of the elite might be seen during the early fall armed with crooked sticks busily engaged in chasing a ball over fifteen or twenty acres of the campus, evidently trying to corral the unruly ball in tiled holes which were conspicuously marked by red flags. This interesting and healthful sport, which by some is thought to be simply a corruption of the national and world-renowned game of shinny, is golf, and those entering actively into the game are said to be golfing. The game in which most interest is taken and in which the greatest number of students participate is without doubt the one which was mentioned at the beginning of this article. This is so for several reasons: It is a game which can be entered into with comparatively little expense: it does not require that the individual use all his spare moments in practice in order to become a fairly good player: it gives the greatest amount of exercise for the time actually spent in playing, which is a very important factorg and it can be played during the entire year. while the season limit of other games is from four to six weeks. 1llllGS The games in which the greatest interest is manifested are the inter-societv i'1 w iicn are generally played before Christmas. But these are by no means all of the games played. Section A must convince the faculty that they are not superior in all things, and the C girls feel equally compelled to impress upon the Senior girls the fact that they are not entirely invincible. Even the lower sections sometimes contract the epidemic and insist on being recognized as worthy opponents of their elders, and then the most laughable uf all the short men must force their lengthy brethren to a recognition of the fact that skill does not always seek a giant in order that it may be properly housed. VVhile we have not been able to maintain the standard set by our team of last year our record is one of which we are justly proud and is as follows: Date. Teams. Score.

Normal 32 4,5 WRIGHTONIAN BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM The Index Athletics received quite a stimulus during the tall term through the interest shown by President Felmley and others ol' the faculty who were anxious that more interest be taken in sports of various kinds, simply that the body demanded it as a relaxation from hard study. As a consequence an Athletic Association was formed and the entire supervision of all ath- letic sports was placed in the hands of a Board of Control, consisting of tive members, two from the faculty and three from the students. These positions were tilled during the year by C. YV. VVhitten, B. C. Edwards, Harrison Russell, Miss Bessie Carclitf and C. L. Fink, and under their management the association has become one of the foremost organizations of the school, requiring its just proportion of time at general exercises in order to announce meetings of the Board of Control and to give public notice of the contests to be held. VVe sincerely hope that in the future more will he done in this line, as nothing tends so much toward developing gracefulness of body and manliness of character as athletic sports when properly conducted. C. L. F. I PHILADELPI-IIAN GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM The Index ATHLETICS AMGNG THE GIRLS. ' AAAA D' HE athletic interest of the school this year has been centered on basket ball. The greater part ofthe school year out-door exercise is impossible. and even when ' the weather is good and the boys play foot ball and base ball, the girls, it they Q, .a Ucmwwu play anything, must still play basket ball, no matter how niuch they would like to playfwell, some other games.

But the lVrights. were a little too strong for the Phils., and when time was called the score stood ll to S in favor of Wrightonia. After this game, the two teams kept up practice for awhile. hoping' to secure some out- side games. But there seemed tcm he an opinion somewhere that girls were 11otC2lpal1lC of taking care of themselves when out of the sight of the faculty. and consequently no outside games could be arranged. However, Section C thought they had a pretty good team, and so they challenged Sec- tion A. Ol' course they knew before they challengged that Section A had only two of the contest players and they had all the rest. But we played them. O yes. we did, and we are not sorry a hit.

As you are all aware. it has been the solemn duty of the spirited young bloodsof each society to stir up enthusiasm before the contest, and also to fly the society colors from the shaft of the cupola. ln the spirited strug- gle and pitched battle which ensued. because of this fact, before our last contest it so happened, as it sometimes will on such occasions. that a few unthinking window panes became mixed up in the fray and were consequently slightly disfigured. At this sad and unexpected junc- ture the boys were conscious uf another painful happening, and it was this: our beloved president appeared on the scene of battle to take an invoice of panes. Most of the boys made a sudden and successful retreat, but a few were captured. Now the honor of the boys of this time-scarred institution is surpassed only by their good looks. This accounts for the afore- said meeting, at which a collection was taken to pay for the replacing' of all panes to their proper places, and at which time it was resolved to make a donation uf all money remaining over and above the expense of replacing the panes, to the societies. 'l'herefore. on accout of and because of this fact, we hereby present to the treasurer of the Philadelphian Society six cents, and sincerely hope that much good may come from the careful investment of the same mn. ami Wrigln. reels. .l Ml 'f'il' U '?'K5-W' I Nov Siqiriis.

W' A AA A READING.---SECOND GRADE. I. Unit of Instruction.-e- llP'f!12' and Mi' Lf!- ffl' friliff. See the little girl! 'What is she doing? She is play-ing with a little boy. XVatch the boy. 'What is he doing? He is eontorting his facial muscles. Does he like the little girl? Uh. yes. XVhen she tells him not to make faces he stops at once. Is she not a good little girl? II. This lesson is presented to the class for Teacher's Aim. the following reasons: 1. It tells of a very common habit of bad boys: it also tells of an eilectual stopping' of said habit and it deals with children of nearly the same age as those in my class. CThis I learned from a close questioning on the part of the children's parents.J 2. The children have been reading stories ot a very different type lately, such as .Iohnnie's Death, etc.. and they need this bright, happy, little tale to lift them out of the morhid state into which they have fallen. 3. Iiecause of the moral teaching. wsjvr- fl-zlfil' Tdfllllbft' jus! zmzcf-good seas I have noticed several of the boys making faces at the little girls on the play ground. lriy this storvl hope to inspire a loathing of such conduct and increase the influence which girls have on lioys. 4. I can easily correlate this story' with the children's work in Physiology, hy mak- ing' an accurate analysis of the facial mus- cles and the movements required in producing the distortion. The pupils have already noticed the muscles of the face and their motions and will be interested in tracing them out in this particular instance. US The Index In general, my aim is to produce that feeling of hate for such a proceeding as we will read about in the story, and to increase the feeling of reverence. awe, and respect which boys sbonfa' have for girls. III. Teacher's Preparation. Ihave read the story carefully and have become thoroughly interested in itg Ihave observed children doing the same thing which our story describesg I have reviewed my own physiology and have secured several pictures and diagrams of the facial muscles which Ishall exhibit at the proper moment: I have consulted Prof. Colton on this point. received his promise to give a short talk to the class on this subject. He will take the class to the museum and show them several casts of the human face. so that they may thoroughly understand the why and where- fore of such distortionsg I shall bring before the class several other striking examples of woman's influence, presenting for their dis- cussion such types as Helen of Troy. Joan of Arc. and Mrs. Nation of Kansas City. etc. Referencess Dean's Habits of Children. Century Dictionary. AH' Encyclopaedia fBritannica.j Colton's Physiology. VVoman as a Social Factor. IV. Pupil's Aim. Today we will hear about a very good little girl. and a boy who was not so good. Y. Preparatory Discussion and Presenta- tion. Good work to bring out self activ- ity. John, you may come in front and make a face. Class. did you ever see anyone do that before? Each of you may now do the same thing. How do you do it? CHere get free expression.J NVould you like to see just how the muscles look? CI-Iere show pictures, diagrams. etc., and send one pupil for Prof. Cult011.l Vve shall H1611 llSt6I'1 to Prof. Colton's talk and undertake our trip to the museum. The children will be encouraged to examine the casts freely. and ask any num- ber of questions. VVork for cause and effect. Now remember what you have learned about the facial muscles today. They will come up farther in your work. I shall simply allow this knowledge to soak ing we shall have no further discussion on it. Perfectly exquisiteg delightful! delightfull. The Index Un the next day I will devote the whole period to a talk on the iniiuence of women and the reverance and awe which man should have for her. The points I gained from a helpful talk with Miss Colby and I shall clothe them in simple language which the children cannot fail to understand. By the next lesson we shall be ready to read. Assign to them in topics. XVould you like to read a story about a little boy who moved his facial muscles in the way you noticed yesterday? All who do elevate their hands promptly, please. Do you think it is nice to make a face? Ido-O-o.7' XVe will read this story and see if this little girl thought it was nice for the little boy to make a face. Do you think the little boy should have done such a HORRID thing? Noi Would you ever do that? Noll XVhy? What noble trait of character is shown in this girl? Her abhorrence of making faces and her desire to lead the boy to higher. nobler. things. What great virtue do you see in the boy? No answer. Yes. you are right. There is no great virtue in the boy. We very seldom notice any great features in boys, I am very sorry to say. Children, the little girl's example is a noble one. Emu- late it. VI. Summary. Class, what do we learn from this story? Never make a faceg always stop when a girl requests you to do so, etc. Yes: those are some of the valuable points we should see in this story. Have you ever had a story like this before? Noi XVould you like to learn another story like it? Yes!! 5 Cl'l'fl.K'1.S1l1S .- l. Push them! Make them work. 2. INIISYICR ask a question that can be ans- wered by V65 or 1111. 3.

A A A A WWWNVEN THE question of what to do with Bouillon, as on all others, there are two par glmlll ties. Une which positively knows what to do, and the other which does not know X WU'- ' f ' . . . ,f what to do on such solemn occasions. These two parties, as all others, of course ,lf , fl ,-J' . . . . Y . . . M51 had their origin under great national stress, and on this occasion it was a recep- tion given by our beloved vice-president to the senior class. This, however, was during the early development of the class, and part of them had not yet matured sufficiently to make careful and nice discrimination, therefore they could not be blamed for joining the party and making the awful, unpardonable error of their lives. Although they were so very peculiar on this occasion and made very foolish speeches advocating strange doctrines, from their appearance they could not be told from other intelligent members of the section. They may be designated as liberalists, for as it is well known, they were quite liberal with admin- istering cream and sugar to the cause of Bouillon, and insisted that that was the only plausible way of disposing of the surplus, lsugar and cream.3 Much may be said in regard to the color of the members of this Liberal Party. and I suppose their praises will be sung for many years to come by others who happen to be so unfortunate as to follow in their footstepsg but I will say this, that they are not so green on other subjects as they seem to be on the question of soup. They, in fact, are not so familiar with that diet for invalids as they are with the hardtack of life, and consequently were not looking for such treatment from a member of the faculty. No, they are not so very much the color of Ireland's national symbol, neither will you think so when you have the The Index pleasure of looking upon their beaming, intelligent faces as they assemble for the last time as a class on the morning of May 31, 1901. The tirst class of the twentieth century and the last class to use sugar and cream in their soup No names have been mentioned in this short episode on senior life, neither do we intend to mention any. If you wish to know more on this very difticult topic, call on or address the members of 'Section C, who have very fertile imaginationsg so much so that they can concoct almost any suitable description ofthe class in whose footsteps they are advised to follow, and whose sayings they are treasuring daily in their hearts for future ref- erences. P.S.--We cannot forbear telling the readers of 'PHE INDEX that we learned that the Germans seem to like the bouillon with sugar and cream. 1 1 4 c wa WI'1axW WW U 'sfi1Q?llnthfw The Index f- X ww 1.54 IDU x :une wr f..,5V , M. f T- 3 4 Ma 1 Presiden fi , -mit Eiiiii if mi Q ? . f if if f ' 915 A ' f WWW X rzzfz ,lggglamel J 1' W flf JW, vm X O 'v 3 , ' ' 'Y 'Q X ' , ,f lf X 1 , 1 My Mr. F.: Now, begin. tFelmley to the Rosenkranz Class. 1 The Index WILLIAM WESLEY BLACK.

The Index ' LIBRARY POINTS. A General carelessness. Some of youcarry books away from the library just because you are so accustomed to carrying large arm loads of books that one or two more or less in the pile is not noticeable. Taking books out of the library without having them charged. Place the books in the exact place or put them on the round table. I would have had a line hunt this morning if I had looked in the right place, but as luck would have it I looked in the wrong place and found it. You have trouble because you do not proceed in the right way, then you go and tell your teacher that the book was not there. A AA S'ricAIGH'r THUS FAR, ISN'T IT? No exception. then? Well, you always put things in the right place by putting them in the wrong place. If you want help, come after it. Our shop is not an ice cream shop. We do not run after you. but you after us. In conclusion I will say, please be careful upon every point on which you are careless. Axormaie PQINT. Please don't put two books in the same place.
