XV e now know that he had been facing death for a year or more, but like the heroic spirit he was, he obscured his suffering and kept at his post of duty to the last. He died at Battle Creek, Mich., where he had gone during the last weeks of vacation with the hope that he might recuperate and be able to continue his work another year. Mr. Colton was born March 23, 1852, on a farm near Prince- ton, lll. His education was begun in a little brick schoolhouse on his father's farm. He attended his uncle's private school a while, and at the age of fourteen entered the Princeton township high school and was graduated with its first class in 187o. After one year of post-graduate high-school work he took a year at Knox College and Finished his college course at Amherst. taking his A. B. degree in 1874. Later he spent two years 51881-18823 in special scientific post-graduate work at Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. Here he was honored by election to a graduate scholarship in 1882. Mr. Colton taught for thirty years, twenty-nine of which were in Illinois. His professional career began in the Princeton town- Ehp jjnhpx Page Sixteen ship high school in 1874. In 1875-76 he taught a rural school near Princeton, during 1876-77 we find him at Keokuk Clad, at Decatur lIll.l the next year, and from 1878-81 he again taught in the Princeton high school. Mr. Colton was a characteristic product of his times. The modern scientific movement with its inductive method of study and its courageous freedom of thought was making wonderful discoveries in the world of natural truth, and in the control of natural forces, all of which was contributing richly to the well- being and progress of mankind. The importance of the biologi- cal sciences was so clearly foreseen that as early as 1872 the legislature of Illinois was induced to enact a law requiring every candidate for a teacher's certificate to pass an examination in the natural sciences. Neither teachers nor schools could meet the requirement in any adequate way. Thus a special demand was made for better preparation of teachers in these sciences. Mr. Colton caught the inspiration and discerned the great meaning of the scientihc movement, and with characteristic judgment sought the most thoro preparation possible for teach- ing his chosen specialties-Zoology, physiology, and botany. Be- fore going to Johns Hopkins he spent one or two summers with Professor Forbes at Normal. On his return from johns Hop- kins he became teacher of science in the Ottawa township high school, where he spent five years, the last three of which he was also principal. In 1888 he was called to the chair of natural science in the Illinois State Normal University. In the words of one most competent to judge, The place was his as much by manifest fit- ness as by the vote of the board of education. For eighteen years a steady stream of students pa.ssed thru his classroom to the teacher's desk. They have been illumined by his thought and touched by his spirit. 'iIn his teaching Mr. Colton carried out better than anyone else I have known, President Eliotis doctrine that to observe carefully and record faithfuly are vital preliminaries to accurate comparison and generalization. He possessed rare skill in di- recting and questioning .... Mr. Colton was very apt in illustra- tion, his laboratory abounded in original devices .... He was orderly and systematic in an unusual degreef, Professor Colton wrote two series of textbooks, one on zool- ogy, the other on physiology. These textbooks grew out of the author's teaching experience and form an organic part of his educational work. Both series of books have exercised an im- portant influence upon the teaching of these subjects, and will continue for many years to be standard textbooks. The Prac- tical Zoologyw was a pioneer i nits field. and revolutionized the teaching of that subject in the high schools of Illinois. The personal traits of Professor Colton are well described by .one.who was once his pupil and later a colleague and intimate - 1 i 1 Page Seventeen L-llltl' EIIIDPX associate for years. .l'erhaps his most striking personal traits were his love of truth and nature and a hearty hatred of shams and pretention. His love of honesty, simplicity, and brevity led him at times to appear almost uimecessarily harsh in the class- room .... '. .Xlr. Colton cared little for artificial nature ...... llis greatest pleasure was to leave behind all the environs of civiliza- tion and in company with a few companions go forth into the wildest woods and there live in close touch with untamed nature. Under such surroundings Mr. Colton's very nature seemed changed. Students who had known him only in the classroom were surprised beyond measure at the new revelations of the man. He often seemed like one intoxicated with the spirit of vivacity, generosity, forbearance, human kindness, and love of the whole world ...... The cowardly and the cringing could not appeal to him, the two-faced and insincere received his scathing rebuke, the conceited and ostentatious were humbled by his fear- less words, and the pedant received his silent commiserationf' Xo doubt Mr. Colton's intense love of nature touched all his pupils in some degree, but there were always a few who were more susceptible than others to their teacher's enthusiasm. These were drawn to him like disciples to a master, and many of them have become efficient teachers of science in Illinois and other states. One of the most significant questions that can be asked of a man is, 'tXYhat was his guiding purpose ? Mr. Colton did not consider it his calling to make new contributions to scientific knowledge, but his lifework was rather to extend scientific knowledge to the masses of the people. So we find him in the true line of apostolic succession from Darwin, Huxley, Agassiz, Youmans, and others-those great heroic missionaries of truth who have opened the way for the masses of the people, including the little children, to comprehend and enjoy the beauty of God's thought and love in nature. He persistently brushed aside any- thing that interfered with the fulfilment of this noble life. Friends, students, and strangers will never forget the kind- hearted hospitality of the Colton home. Mr. Colton was fortu- nate in having a wife whose charm of manner, thoughtful atten- tion, and ready wit never failed to make the guest feel at ease, nor leave a pleasant memory of the visit. Mr. Colton was a man of striking individuality and distinctive character. That part of the world's work for which he assumed responsibility he did faithfullyancl well. Lifeis wearing strug- gle ended his career too soon. He was buried in the cemetery at Princeton, and in due time in accordance with his wish, the grave will be marked by a rugged boulder that has lain for some years in his front yard at Xormal. This incident is characteristic, for such marking is eminently Htting. It becomes the character of the man, his love of simplicity, his assuming modesty, and his passion for nature as it came from the hand of the Creator.

ELMER ELLSWORTH BRowN I was a student in the Illinois State Normal University for a longer time than in any other school or university, and many of my strongest school associations are accordingly connected with it. My student days there began with the beginning of the spring term of 1876, and closed with the end of the school year of 1880-SI. Doctor Hewett was elected President during my first term in the school. A large proportion of the student body, as I remember it now, was of fairly mature age, and was recruited from the farms and smaller towns of the State. The Normal University was not only a place of preparation for the practice of teaching, but was in a very marked degree an educational cen- ter, if not the educational center, for the middle portion of the State, with a constituency extending even to the remoest borders of the State and to neighboring states and foreign countries. I take it that these conditions have by no means altogether past away with the passage of the years since I was at Normal, but have been very considerably modified. It is necessary that every insti- tution should change with the change of the times. I trust, how- ever, and believe, that two or three of the strongly marked char- acteristics of the Illinois State Normal University of the seventies and early eighties are still maintained, if they are not even more strongly emphasized now than they were then. Among these are the ideals of scholarship reaching out beyond the home institution,-ideals which worked in a steady procession of young people who past year by year from the normal school to various colleges and universities, the warm and wholesome social inHu- ence brought about by the free, co-operative, literary and musical activities of the Philadelphian and XVrightonian Societies: a spontaneous and widely influential religious interest, joined with large freedom of individual opinion, a sense of seriousness and responsibility in the relation of the institution and the prospective relation of the members of the student body to the educational development of the State of Illinois. Wfe felt and knew in my days at Normal, that the strictly professional spirit was not so strong in the institution as it should be, but it was even then ris- ing, and I doubt not that it has continued to make the wholesome advance which it was making in those days, though in new fields and under new forms. I hope that with such advance in profes- sionalism the institution may, through all its days, continue to contribute to the making of that high scholastic and personal character in those preparing to he teachers, which is even more valuable and inllucntial than the purely professional spirit. Page Nineteen Qihp Hjuhpx Cirxs. A. Meal vnnv To the old members of the Normal School this fifty years' his- tory suggests interesting reminiscences and equally interesting problems for the future. It is now more than forty years since l was first a pupil in the Model School and in the light of present conditions and facilities those days sometimes seem even more than forty years removed. In later years as I have studied and taught in other institu- tions the old Normal with its prevailing spirit and modes of work has heen a standard with which to measure up the substantial worth of later schools and educational movements. There was undoubtedly in the old Normal of thirty or forty years ago a powerful and formative spirit, which shaped up the lives of many young people and produced wide-reaching and benefi- cent results. The later enlargement of studies and interests has somewhat modified this spirit but we may trust that it has not weakened its energy and educative efifect. In comparison with other institutions which I have known, it has long seemed to me that the Normal as I knew it, was among the very strongest of them all. Aside from the changes which have taken place in the Normal curriculum itself, I think, the closer adjustment of the Normal in recent times to the high schools on the one side and to the colleges and universities on the other is of fundamental value. At present the Normal is becoming an indispensable link in our great educational system, recruiting itself from the best mate- rials of the public school system, and sending its well-trained, progressive youth of both sexes forward to still greater achiev- ments in the higher schools, and then returning them as well qualified scholars and trained teachers to the elementary schools again. The future of Normal School effort thus broadens out with still greater opportunities and responsibilities and, like a growing plant, a historical school, as it grows older, roots itself deeply in our whole society. The future therefore of the Normal will be greater than its past, proud as we may be of that record. OT. DICKEY T13MPLEToN As I Index my name in the souvenir of the fiftieth anniversary of the I.S.N.U., I am reminded that it has been on the books of my alma 7llClfCl' as a debtor for thirty-nine of these fifty years. - My first impressions were of stern professors and strange faces, but the stereopticon of time has changed the reception room into a Hall of Fame, and the strange faces of forty years ago re- appear from year to year in the dissolving views of the Alumni meetings, wearing the smile of recognition which won't come Off 77 o E132 Elnhrx Page Twenty EDMUND -I. ,lAMEs My recollection of the work of the Normal School extends perhaps over as wide a range of work and as many years as that of almost any other man who was ever connected with the insti- tution. It was in the spring of 1863 that I remember following my mother about as she went from one class room to another,listening to the recitations, in order to determine for herself whether this was a school to which she desired to send her children. The ex- amination was so satisfactory to her that my father purchased a small farm a mile and a half east and north of the Normal School building, diagonally across from the little red school house, just east of the Central road, and a little over a mile north of the Alton. It was in the spring of the year 1867 that I entered the Nor- mal School, first in the grammar school department, which at that time was conducted by john NV. Cook as principal. He remained only one term after I entered the grammar school and was followed in the autumn of 1867 by joseph Carter. The school under Principal Cook had been located in the village school house, as an arrangement had been made between the vil- lage and the Normal School by which the public schools of the former were to be considered as the training school of the latter. The arrangement was not fully satisfactory to either party, and the connection was dissolved in the autumn of 367 when the Model School was located on the hrst floor of the Normal School build- ing, in the northeast corner. After completing the course of this department, I entered the high school department, located on the same iioor in the north- west corner of the building, in September, 1869. I was for one year in this school under the tuition of Wfilliam L. Pillsbury, a graduate of Harvard, an earnest, sincere, and well trained and successful teacher. Here also for one year I enjoyed the tuition of Miss Horton, a rare woman for any time, and any country, especially rare for those days, in the accuracy of her classical scholarship, in her wide knowledge of subsidiary subjects, in her conscientiousness and faithfulness as a teacher. Miss Horton remained only one year and was succeeded as principal of the school by IC. XV. Coy, who had been principal of the Peoria High School. lf. XV. Coy was a graduate of Brown, and a devoted admirer of IIarvard, and he first turned my at- tention in a very definitive and hnal way toward Harvard as the institution which I intended to enter upon graduation from the high school. For two years I pursued my studies in the classics under Mr. C'oy's tuition, graduating from the high school in 1873. Page Twenty'-one Uhr Z1 uhm: I returned as principal of the high school in September, 18749, resigning my position on aeeouut of ill health at Christmas time, 1883. Since that time my connection with the Normal University has been one of affection and love, rather than active participation in its work, though I am glad to have made my little contribution at one time or another toward advancing the interests of the school. 1 I had, at the time, and have preserved during all these years, a sincere affection for the men and women under whose influence and under whose tuition I was privileged to be. Cook, Carter. l'illsbury, Miss Ilorton, Coy, are names that have endeared to me everything connected with that institution. I had, of course, in addition many other teachers, particularly while I was a student in the grammar school and in the first year in the high school, and while there were some misunderstandings between me and some of 1ny teachers, I only hope that they eher- ish, so far as they are alive, the same kindly feelings towards my- self, as I have ever entertained toward them. Even when Mr. C ook threatened to cowhide me and llllr. Carter nearly shook the life out of me I felt that they had to a certain extent, justice on their side, though I did not altogether approve of the expression which they gave to it. I have seen many schools in many countries, and on the whole I have never seen one which I should have preferred to the grammar and higher departments of the Illinois Normal School as a place to spend six years of my life. I believe they did for me as much as any school could have done. Of course as one grows older, if he is in the educational current, he comes to look upon many things which were done in his youth as perhaps a trifle old-fashioned and yet the essence of education remains the same. Nothing is so important as honest, clean work, and per- sistent insistence upon doing one's school work in the proper way. Among the teachers who influenced me aside from those whom I have mentioned, in a way for which I have always been grateful, I should certainly mention Thomas Metcalf, a man whose very presence was a powerful admonition to live up to the very best that one was capable of, and whose careful enunciation and pronunciation were of marked influence in improving the speech of the entire school. Mrs. Haynie for many years was a guide, philosopher, and friend for every student who entered her classes, and her personal interest in and friendship for me was of great importance. Dr. Hewett, Dr. Edwards, and the many pupil teachers under whose tuition I came-they are all held in grateful memory. It is a grand old school and every alumnus may feel proud of having been connected with it. EDMUND I. JAMES. i .4 i I :xr Eh? mnhpx Page Twenty-two FAN NIE FELL I have been asked to recall some incident associated in my mind with the every day life in the I.S.N.U. when I was a stu- dent there. .Xs I think of my school days there comes to me one warm Iune afternoon. It was the fifth hour tnot period as it is now called IJ and Iinglish Literature, under the leadership of Professor Stetson was to be in full sway the following hour. This was a section A study. The members of the Senior class seated next the middle aisle to the left of the president, were al- lowed special privileges of conferring with one another on any weighty matter pertaining to the assigned class room work. Even this was not enuf for two members of the class of i7Q. 'Iulia Scott and your humble servant were not content with this subdued and restrained method of communicating our deep and original observations on the subject of Eng-lish men of letters. Consequently we quietly and decorously Cas became dignified Seniorsj slipped out through the west door of the Assembly Room and up the steps on the north side leading to the entrance of the XVrightonian Society Hall as it was in our days. Gnce seated on the top stair there commenced a low but con- tinued interchange of ideas as to the writings of this or that author. Not many minutes passed before we heard a gentle tapping of feet on the stairs. The footsteps were all too easily recognized by the two intellectual miscreants. Those light, steady, but quick footfalls could be caused by none other than our short but highly esteemed President, Dr. Hewett. lVe managed to maintain our dignity in the ordeal and sa- luted our respected superior as if he were an expected guest. There he stood at the turning of the stairs, watch in hand and gave forth this sententious remark, with a twinkle in his eye, XYell, I thought there was a woman's sewing society in pro- gress. That was all, but it had its effect, we vanished. However, I found that our cheering hospitality, or the dig- nified position we held as Seniors, must have inHuenced the good doctor. Later on he entered a complaint to Mr. Burrington, the reverend principal of dear old high school, against certain high school pupils whom he had found wandering around the build- ing without leave or license, and my name was not on the list of culprits.

A On the eighteenth day of February, 1857, the bill establish- ing the Illinois State Normal University was signed by NVilliam H. Bissell, the first republican governor of the State. This was an important step in school legislation as it recognized the duty of the State to prepare the teachers of its public schools to ren- der more efficient service. The motive prompting the act was not charity, but self-interest. The a system of free public schools to property of the people. Property to be educated were taxed on the children, and it was no more than money was thus taken that they State had recently established be supported by a tax on the owners who had no- children sa.me basis as those who had simple justice to those whose should receive in return the greatest possible benefit to themselves and their property. Many of the friends of education believed this would result from the establishment of a normal school. The friends of education in the State were much divided among themselves as to the kind of school to be established. Some wanted a normal school whose entire aim should be the preparation of teachers for the public schools of the State. Others wanted a normal school with an agricultural department attached. Still others believed that an industrial university with a normal department should be established, while a fourth party claimed that the wisest course was to establish normal depart- Page Twenty Four Page Twenty-Five gluhrx ments in all the sectarian colleges already in operation. The persistent and persevering efforts of the friends ol' the normal school free from all entangling alliances won the day. From present indications, however, it seems that the wish of those who favored an agricultural department in connection with the school is soon to be realized, at least in part. The physical sciences are largely agricultural in their trend. Elementary agri- culture is now a lixed study in the C'lll'1'I'L'IlfIlllI, instruction being given in both the theory and the practice of that industry, so that Mr. Bakewell's -Xgricultural Che1nistry is an established fact. The act which established the normal university created C. B. Denio of jo Daviess county, Simeon XVright of Lee county, Daniel XYilkins of McLean, county, C. E. Hovey of l'e- oria county, George B. Rex of Pike county, Samuel NV. Moulton of Shelby county, John Gillespie of Jasper county, George Bun- sen of St. Clair county, XYesley Sloan of Pope county, Ninian XY. Edwards of Sangamon county, John .Eden of Moultrie county, Flavel Mosley of Cook county, XVilliam H. NVells of Cook county, Albert R. Shannon of XVhite county, and the Su- perintendent of Public Instruction, ar 0fHc1'0, with their asso-ci- ates X X X and successors, a body corporate and politic, to be styled the Board of Education of the State of Illinois, whose duty it was to make all laws necessary for the govermnent of the normal university. These gentlemen met at the oliice of the State Superintendent who was, ar 0f7icz'0, secretary of the Board, and organized by electing Samuel XV. Moulton, president. It was the duty of the Board to fix the permanent location of the school at the place which offered the most favorable induce- ment for that purpose: Provided, that such location shall not be difficult of access, or detrimental to the welfare and prosper- ity of said normal university. That the school was to be located at the point making the highest and best bid was widely advertised, and several locali- ties became competitors. On the seventh day of May, 1857, the State Board of Education met at Peoria, as announced, to open the bids, and the bid of McLean county being far ahead of any other, it was awarded the prize. The Board of Education next appointed a committee to visit some of the leading normal schools of the eastern states in order to determine more intelligently upon a building for the Illinois State Xormal Ifniversity. The labor of the committee was not fruitless, although the plan selected was not that of any build- ing examined, but was the joint production of Charles E. Hovey and the architect, Mr. Randall. As soon as the plans and speci- fications could be prepared a contract was entered into for the Elin' fdnhrx Page Twenty-Six construction of the building, which was to be completed Septem- ber 1, 1858. The corner stone was laid with imposing cere- monies September 29, 1857, and the work was pushed vigorously during that fall. Charles E. Hovey was elected principal of the normal uni- versity and Ira Moore, assistant. These gentlemen opened the school in Majors Hall in Bloomington on the hfth day of Uc- tober, 1857. There were QQ Q27 according to Principal Hoveyl pupils present the first day, and the number increased to 127 dur- ing the academic year. The prospects of the school were -very favorable, and all looked forward with pleasant anticipations to the time, presumably near at hand, when the school should be housed in the palatial building which was being erected on the prairie, near the junction But alas for human hopes! Owing to financial embarrassment, due largely to the panic of 1857, no work was done on the building in 1858, and conditions became very discouraging. Through the indomitable will and financier- ing skill of the Principal of the school, however, aided by the loyal support of the Board and other friends, means were pro- cured for resuming work in 1859, and in June, 1860, the build- ing was far enough advanced to enable the first graduating class to hold its exercises in the Assembly room, and in the fall of that year the school moved into its permanent quarters, although the building was no-t completed until the early part of 1861. XVhen the school moved into the new building it was in a prosperous condition. The attendance had been growing steadily from the beginning, requiring the addition of several members to the faculty. Moreover, there was a well-organized Model School in which the art of teaching was exemplihecl. The friends of the school were delighted at the prospects of its use- fulness and success. But the Civil'NVar breaking out in 1861, those prospects were clouded for a time, as nearly all of the faculty and male students enlisted in the service of their country. The school, however, was continued, and Perkins Bass, a mem- ber of the State Board of Education, was chosen acting presi- dent for the academic year 1861-2.5 At the close of this year Richard Edwards was elected president, and continued to ad- minister' the affairs of the school until 1876. Under his ad- ministration the normal university prospered in a remarkable degree. The attendance increased rapidly, and professional en- thusiasm reached its high-water mark. Dr. Edwards was so enthusiastic himself that every one of his pupils felt XYoe is me if I do not teach schoolf' In his masterful way he so pointed out the great possibilities for bettering humanity that were open to the teacher that the matter of salary appeared a secondary affair, or at least it did not overshadow everything else.

Edwin C. Hewett, Professor of History and Geography. Dr. joseph A. Sewall, Professor of Natural Sciences. Thomas Metcalf, Professor of Mathematics. Albert Stetson, Professor of Language and Reading. Emaline Dryer, Preceptress and Teacher of Grammar and Drawing. NYilliam L. Pillsbury, Principal of the Model School, and Professor of Latin and Greek. Thoroness was the chief characteristic of each of these teachers. XYoe betide the student who tried to 'csoldier through a recitation. He was soon made to feel that honesty was the basis of all true scholarship, and that the real student is honest with himself as well as with others. Tn Dr. Edwardis admin- istration, the students were expected to be in their own rooms at 7 o'cloclq in the winter evenings, and at 7:30 at other seasons. The exceptions to this requirement wereeSaturday and Sunday evenings. Cn Saturday evenings IO oiclock was the hour for curfew and on Sunday, 9 o'clock. A student who yiolatezl this rule was asked to explain the matter to the president. More explanations had to be made on Monday morning than on any other. For many years all students at the building were expected to be in the Assembly room or in the library when they were not reciting. They were not permitted to go to their rooms between recitations, or to yisit on the stairs or in the halls, and it was Page Twenty-seven I il I Il H I I I -I - I- ---1 --I--'I-I I.-Yiiii - .- . .- ,. - Elin Elnhrx Page Twenty-Eight especially against the law of tl1e school to be seen on the streets during school l1ours. 1 F rom the beginning there has been a well conducted Model School connected with tl1e institution. It can hardly be said that it was always a successful Training School. In tl1e early years there were no critiques, All the help the pupil-teacher re- ceived in his work was what he obtained from tl1e principal of the department of tl1e Model School in which he taught, except that he had to bring his class into the assembly room occasion- ally and teach it before tl1e school. NVhen the children were through reciting they passed out of the room, and tl1e exercise was criticised freely by- both students and teachers. It was not considered proper for the pupil-teacher, to bring his class before tl1e school with a lesson which it had already recited. It must be the regular lesso11 for tl1e day, a11d the teacher was expected to show his skill in overcoming the dilhculties arising in the presentation of an average lesson. Thisgof course fell far be- low tl1e highly organized Training School of today with its corps of accomplished critic teachers to make the pathway to pedagogical perfection easy for the beginner. And yet many good teachers were sent out in those days, and the Model School was held in such high esteem that parents were glad to send their children to it, and pay a good stiff tuition fee for tl1e privilege. In 1865, and for a few years thereafter, there was but one session of the school daily, this being broken by a recess of twenty minutes for luncheon. As spelling came immediately af- ter recess, rows of young men could be seen seated in the dress- ing room during this intermission with a spelling book in one hand and a slice of bread and butter i11 the other. Tl1ey were very attentive to both, as this was regarded a very elfective method of getting the spelling lesso11 i11to their heads. The young men had to wear slippers in school. This was to avoid making noise in walking to a11d from the recitation rooms, and to keep from depositing tl1e ricl1 prairie soil i11 the rooms and corridors. Some time later, the gentlemen were per- mitted, i11 the interest of good health, to wear their shoes in tl1e building, but members of the faculty stood guard at the east and west doors to see that no mud was brought i11. The position of shoe inspector was not coveted by the gentlemen of the faculty, Zlllfi in a few years tl1e mud guards were discontinued. In those primitive times, tl1e number, of students being com- paratively small, the sexes were not segregated. The young men and women roomed in the same house, sat on the same porch. and together studied the harvest moon. No evil resulted from this companionship, and none was expected. They were ladies Page Twenty-Nine Jjuhpx and gentlemen, as all normal students are, or should be, and conducted themselves as such. lf perchance they did not, they were invited to go home, as they were not wanted here and were not lit persons to become teachers. But to keep such per- sons from becoming discouraged, they were informed that there was corn to be cultivated and dishes to be washed, and that both occupations were honorable. The invitations to go home were very rare. ln no way, perhaps, can the growth of the school in work- ing facilities for the student be seen more clearly than by com- paring the library of 1865 with that of ITQO7. In 1865 the library of the university was contained in two small cupboards placed in the hall west of the Assembly room. lt consisted of two sets of encyclopedias, Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the XYorld, Thomas's Biographical Dictionary, some census reports, and a collection of text books furnished by the publishers. Now there is a spacious and elegant library room filled with book shelves of the latest design holding thousands of the choicest publications of this and other countries, and reading tables, round, square, and oblong, with a blackboard for the delinquent list. All of these conveniences are presided over by two of the most competent and obliging librarians whose most grievous complaint against the students is that the latter do not give them more frequent opportunities of being helpful. There was but one janitor connected with the school, and he attended to the heating, sweeping, scrubbing, etc., being assisted by a few students after school hours and on Saturdays. The one boiler used in heating the building was placed in the middle of the basement, on the north side. The rooms were heated by steam pipes arranged horizontally around the walls. The sys- tem was fairly satisfactory in moderate weather, but in cold weather the mercury was fond of staying near the bulb in the thermometer, and the pipes snapped loudly and persistently as if determined to drown the voices of both teachers and pupils. They succeeded in this at times, but never when a pupil was bravely reciting a lesson he did not know. The pipes put forth their most successful efforts in Normal Hall when lectures or other entertainments were being given. This was especially true with reference to musical programs. On such occasions the pipes always joined in the exercises and were not satisfied unless they jointly or severally reached high G3 they were successful usually. But the pipes have gone, and it is hoped they are at peace, it is certain that no lover of his kind mourns their departure. The janitor and his family lived in the east end of the base- ment, and the students were usually able to give their menu for Elin' Elnhrx Page Thirty the midday meal. Good, faithful Peter, in particular, was fond of onions. sausages, and sauer-kraut, and the aroma of those de- lectable edibles permeated the Assembly room and classrooms, making many of the students wish they were janitors, so as to have a good, substantial meal, instead of a cold luncheon sea- soned with four columns from Edwardss Speller. The janitor kept a cow which grazed peacefully on the cam- pus. This cow was frequently immortalized in song and story. Sonnets innumerable were addressed to her, but she coyly shook her head and continued to ruminate. She was a sociable cow, as was shown by her fondness for lying in the shade of the building, near the steps, where she could see the students as they passed in and out, and be the cause of their speaking in unknown tongues when they sometimes stumbled against her in their haste. The cow house was in the northeast part of the campus di- rectly west from the public school. Tt was rather a picturesque building, the style of architecture being a combination of the Tonic, Etruscan and Shantyesque. Perhaps it did not add much to the beauty of the landscape, but it attracted attention. Itwas the first object to be noticed by visitors, and the last to be ad- mired. Xiihen Dr. Edwards resigned the presidency of the school in 1876, to become pastor of the Congregational church at Prince- ton, Ill., Professor Hewett was elected to fill the vacancy. His corps of teachers at that time consisted of the following: Dr. Joseph A. Sewall. Professor of Natural Science. Thomas Metcalf. Principal of the Training School. Albert Stetson, Professor of Language and Reading. John VV. Cook, Professor of Matlteinatics. Henry lXflcCormick, Professor of History and Geography. Stephen A. Forbes, Director of Scientific Laboratory. Lester L. Burrington, Professor of Latin and Greek, and Principal of High School. Harriet M. Case, Preceptress, and Teacher of Grammar. Mrs. lXfTartha D. L. Haynie, Professor of Modern Languages. Amanda G. Paddock, First Assistant, Training Department. Charles DeGarmo, Second Assistant, Training Department. Rosalie Miller, Teacher of Drawing. Bandusia Vifakeheld, First Assistant, Normal Department. Fllen S. Edwards, Second Assistant, Normal Department. President Hewett's administration was largely a continuation of the preceding one. The same high ideals prevailed, and the same thoroness and faithfulness to duty pervaded the entire school. President Hewett, himself, made but few changes in the course of study, but several of the teachers recast the work in their departments and added to the number of studies. These changes, both in matter and manner of presentation, were most noticeable in the departments of Mathematics and History and Geography. The changes were made with the permission of the Page Thirty-One Ellyn' 3l1ihrx president, and received his approval when their usefulness was demonstrated. This body of teachers was the most united, perhaps, in loy- alty to the president and the school, and in kind feelings towards one another of any faculty in the history of the school. There was a spirit of good-fellowship and of hearty good will that was delightful and that made it a pleasure to work in such company. Each tried to make his department the best conducted in the school, but rejoiced at all advancement made by the others. It was early in the administration of Dr. lilewett that the students of the normal school gave a demonstration of their abil- ity and skill as road-builders. XVhat is here said on XVorking the Roads is taken, by permission, from Cook and McHugh's History of the Illinois State Normal University. In the spring of 1877, about twenty-live of the boys were no- tiiied by the local authorities to work the usual two days on the roads. A meeting of the students interested in the matter was held in Dr. Sewall's room, and the subject was thoroly dis- cussed. It was decided that they should turn out in a body, each one taking three others to work on his time, thus putting in the required two days in half a day. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Gillan, Berkstresser, Faulkner, Boyer, and Bainum, was appointed to make necessary arrangements for the particu- lars of the plan. The committee drew up a code of regulations which all agreed to observe, to the effect that all were to come to school at the usual time the next morning, and remain until after devotional exercises and spelling, and when the classes passed out, tile down stairs, form in line in front of the building, and march to the scene of the day's labor. XVhite shirts, collars, coats, and jewelry of any kind, were strictly forbidden to be worn. As far as practicable, pantaloons must be worn inside of boots. Each should be provided with whatever implement for digging he might be able to improvise. The next morning a unique and motley crowd assembled, bearing a great variety of implements, from a grubbing hoe to a garden rake and a Ere shovel. Edward Faulkner was chosen captain, and the company, consisting of eighty members, was divided into squads of eight, each commanded by a sub-boss. Forming in line, they marched to the place designated by the roadmaster, just south of the iron bridge over Sugar Creek, on Main street. After working CU about an hour, the busy B's, Berkstresser, Bainum, and Burger, were sent to Bloomington to get a supply of liquid consolation, as the day was warm and the work thirst-provoking. Qwing to the fact that the committee required so much time to '.'sample the different varieties, it was near noon when they returned in company with a drayman and E112 fdnhvx Page Thirty-TWO a barrel of cider. Sitting in the shade of the maples by the road side. the crowd, by this time augmented to one hundred, or more, soon emptied the barrel. The remainder of the program con- sisted in building a memorial mound of earth some six or eight feet high, in the middle of the road, making speeches, listening to vocal music by a colored man, who, passing by, was captured and urged to sing, although he protested that he had ,not time to wait, and the final homeward march. A large stone was selected from the creek near the Chicago and Alton railroad, -and taken through the streets of Normal to the front of the city council's office, where it was planted by the sidewalk with appropriate ceremonies. In this administration also the 'anitor and his famil moved 7 7 yu out of the basement, and the cow sought pastures new. The boiler was removed from the basement and placed in the house built for its reception, to the joy of all connected with the insti- tution. Dr. Hewett, after a successful term, resigned the presidency in 1890, and Professor Cook was elected in his place. His faculty, the first year, consisted of Thomas Metcalf, Principal Training Teacher. sf Henry McCormick, Professor of History and Geography. Richard D. Jones, Professor of Literature. Piuel P. Colton, Professor of Natural Sciences. David Felmley, Professor of Mathematics. R. R. Reeder, Professor of Reading. Frank McMurry, Training Teacher, Intermediate and Primary Grades. Dudley G. Hays, Assistant in Natural Sciences. Ruth Morris, Professor of English. Mary Hartmann, Assistant in Mathematics. Lizzie P. Swan, Assistant in History and Geography. ' Clarissa E. Fla, Teacher of Drawing. Mary M. Hall, Assistant Training Teacher, Primary Grades. 'f O. L. Manchester, Principal of High School. Edward Manley, Assistant in High School. Fannie C. Fell, Assistant in High School. John NV. Hall, Principal of Grammar School. 1 Ange V. Milner, Librarian. Several changes took place in the faculty in President Cook's administration. Some were called to what they considered higher positions, and others left to prepare themselves for greater usefulness. Nearly all the departures took place shortly after the president had read a passage from Exodus for the morning scripture lesson. So remarkable was the coincidence that thereafter, when he read from that book, there was guess- ing, among the students, as to which member of the faculty would leave next. ln this administration, the Training School building and the Gymnasium were erected, adding much to the convenience and efficiency of the school. And the changes made in the society halls may make it difficult for the old students to find their society hearings when they come back, as we hope many of them will, this summer. Q Cf the many improvements made in and around the old build- ing by President Cook, none is more worthy of praise than the removal of the cuspidors which stood in the corridors from time immemorial. They were eyesores, sins against good taste, and an encouragement to Filth. Their banishment to the lower regions was a decided uplift to the school. Perhaps nothing that occurred while this gentleman was at the head of the institution caused more talk or aroused more feeling than the discontinuance of the High School. This school had accomplished much in the way of good scholarship. It fitted young men and women for the best eastern colleges, and inspired many of the normal students to pursue their studies beyond the requirements of the regular CllI'l'l.Clll1lllZ. Many of its graduates have become eminent as teachers, doctors, lawyers, and ministers. The tuition fees from the school were more than enough to pay the additional teaching force. And the opportunity it afforded the students of the normal school to study the languages and so Fit themselves for greater usefulness, together with the infiuencc upon the pupils in the grades, by beckoning them to something higher, amply repaid the State for houseroom, fuel, janitor ser- vice, etc. The State Board of Education 'at its meeting, June 19, 1895, voted to abolish the High School, giving all who had entered upon the course, however, an opportunity to complete it. That evening the graduates residing in the neighborhood made a good- Page Thirty-three Qhp I-Unhpx Page Thirty-Four natured but solemn demonstration. They felt sad. They be- lieved the act of the Board made them orphans, and although they did not censure the Board, understanding as they did that its action was dictated by higher authority, yet they felt that their 41111141 zzzatcr was dead, and they mourned for her. They mourn for her yet, and will continue to do so for some time to come. However, they labored under a misapprehension, in one re- spect at least. The closing of the High School did not cut its graduates off from the university, its privileges, or honors. They are members of the alumni as truly as are the graduates of the normal department. The normal school is not willing they should regard themselves as orphans. They are still under the foster- ing care of the Illinois State Normal University, which loves and cherishes them as truly and tenderly as its other children. Wife be all one. A XV hen President Cook severed his connection with the school in ISQQ, to take the presidency of the Northern normal school, at Delialb, the Board of Education was fortunate enough to secure the services of Professor Arnold Tompkins as president. This gentleman's reputation as an educator was national, and those who knew him best predicted a glorio-us future for the school under his administration. He remained but one year, however, and left to become president of the Chicago Normal School. In the short time that he was here he made many changes in the course of study. But of all the changes that he made, perhaps none is more highly appreciated by students and teachers than the ten minutes recess between recitations. Professor David Felmley was elected by the Board in 1900, to succeed Dr. Tompkins. It is difficult to write of this admin- istration without seeming to descend to flattery, consequently a bare recital of what has been done, and of what is expected is all that will be attempted. Tiled corridors, concrete walks, a very useful and ornamental greenhouse, a kindergarten, ele- mentary agriculture Calready alluded toj, and an efficient manual training department must be credited here. And when, in the near future, the Manual Arts building is erected, it is expected that a department of Domestic Science and Household Arts will be established, second to none in the State. And the writer is willing to stake his reputation as a pro-phet on the prediction that, at no distant day, a department of Ethical Culture will be found in the Illinois Teachers' College, which will have taken the place of the Illinois State Normal University. Nothing has been said in this sketch about the literary socie- ties connected with the school, the space is too limited to do them justice. In the jubilee history of the institution, they will undoubtedly receive the consideration their importance demands. PIENRY MCCoRM1eK. S 'Q LESLIE STANSB L' R Y Normal QREN A.

Their faces brighten, their countenances are illumined and verdure is made their way as they, each in turn, receive the softening touches of the class of 1908. Like the morning sun we appeared above the horizon last fall as a class but obliquely aimed our rays making our effectiveness little felt. But as the year has worn on we have begun to co- operate with each other, throwing our light and influence to strike along more vertical lines until now at full noon we drop our energy in a much more concentrated fashion, everyone in sympathy with his fellowman, looking forward to the same goal, viz., that of the pedagogical. profession. In the early morning as we came peeping over the eastern hills our radiancy fell upon all the stars, viz., Seniors, Sopho- mores, Freshmen, and indeed they appeared supreme, but as the day wore on and the sun's rays began to light up the whole heavens the stars became invisible to the naked eye and could only occasionally be found with a telescope. However, tho late in the evening one of the stars CSeniorsj ventured forth, threw its pale light into the gymnasium and chuckled to itself that it was allowed to shine in its meek way un- til the sun,' should appear. From the first morning many of our rays have been sought by different members of the school. The Seniors would often have gathered us unto them but we would not. However, some have finally succeeded to get into the sunlight of a few of our rays, The lower sections, by every device and plan, have at- tempted to gain access into the sunlight, even the faculty mani- fests a waxing desire to rest, in their dark hours, in the pleasant atmosphere of our class for if this were not a fact why would Mr. Felmley hold a reception in his office for us once every month and very frequently other members of the faculty invite us to stay with them two or more successive terms? Nlany of us were lost in the dark days of the Peninsular Cam- paign, few fell while bravely lighting the Saracensg others were lost while fishing for their economic interests. Many rays Page Fifty-seven Ellir liluhrx have left ns of their own free wil. Some have gone to light the school room, others to comfort the sick and weary, others to shine as arc lights in the halls of fustice and still others to set the lamp of hope burning' in the sous of the poor and helpless. .Ns we clinihed the eastern sky we attracted and gathered many particles of shining' ripples into our ranks until now we stand over one hundred strong, tie largest class in school. .Xs the day has advanced we have heen continually concen- trating our ideas until now, in our zenith, we are harmoniously laboring' side hy side, diligently seeking' knowledge, and all for the hetterment of them with whom we come in contact, especially of the plastic forms who happen to come under our moulding in- tluences. So here stand we in our zenith for this year. The sun', is now approaching the western brink and soon will set for this year. Already, gauzy clouds are appearing to darken our spirits, for it has come time to say farewell. Many will leave us never to return. lllany will choose other professions. But whatever other vocation any of us are called into we shall always look hack to this year with pleasure and gratitude as one of the happiest years ever spent. And now farewell to the Seniors. Xlle are indeed sorry to see you go. Many times we have wrestled for supremacy but now exists nothing but kindest feeling and admiration for you. XYe wish you unbounded success in your every attempt. Now let us hope that next year on the first morning our same sun, richly decked, will again rise and peacefully ride thru the heavens with no clouds to mar its hrightness. For this day the sun has sunk to sleep and all is still. Farewell. H. A. LXLBRIGTVF. M7 he O Gig 1 N' NEILYQ- 4 x v 'wkluafh Jyi -V fi X X' Abney, Bessie Ahern, Mabel. . .. Armitage, Louise . . .

St. Clair Marion Eltr fdnhrx Page Sixty iluninr Eanquvi The Library, beautitied with hot-house plants, was the scene of the animal reception given by the Juniors to the Seniors and the Faculty from seven to eight o'clock on the evening of June 3. :Xll were glad to meet in this way, but sorry that it was the last time we would meet the Seniors as Seniors. At eight o'clock this happy family was ushered into the gym- nasium, which had been most beautifully transformed into a daisy garden with touches of red and white. Thiscombination of Senior colors, red and white, with the junior colors, green and white, made a delightful background. It was a happy coin- cidence that red and white were Senior colors as well as school colors. The .lunior flower, the daisy, had been artistically woven into the meshes of tennis nets on the walls. But the center of attraction for all was the large table in the midst arranged in the shape of the letter HN. The individual places were discovered by daisy place cards. The Seniors were arranged along one of the outside flanks, the Juniors occupying the other and the members of the Faculty, and those who gave the toasts sat in the middle. The gustatory sense was soon given opportunity to test the culinary perfection of the following menu : Mint Sherbet a Chicken Croquettes Peas Tea Rolls Ham Sandwiches Pickles Olives Nut Salad Ice Cream Cake Chocolate, With Whipped Cream Following this good part came one just as interesting, if not more so. Miss Essie Chamberlain, the Junior president, proved herself a fitting symposiarch for this occasion. Mr. Elijah VVil- liams was the first to speak and expressed in a way all his own feeling for the Faculty. This was responded to by Mr. Keith in his usual witty style. lXflr. Madison Pulliam toasted the Senior class. Next, the Senior girls were most highly honored by Mr. lfugene Shaver. Miss Nellie Holland next most humorously toasted the Senior boys. Last, but not least, a poem on the Junior class, composed by Miss Jacqueline Champion was read by Miss Hazel Frye. .Xt a late hour the members of the party returned home, grati- lied and confident that the Juniors were indeed congenial and worthy of any praise said in their favor. Page Sixty-One Elin' Eluhrx Uhr ijallniunfvn Igartg 'llhc .lunior party givcn on llallowc'cn was onc ot' thc bcst and niost highly appreciated events ol' the year. lt was soines what ditterent, this year, from any given hcrctolorc, it being Il good old-fashioned masquerade such as our worthy grztnclpar- ents enjoyed in the good old days. 'llhe party was given in the gyinnasiuin, which was beautifully decorated. Streamers of green and white radiated from the ceil- ing to the balcony. l'uniplcin head Jack O'lanterns hung around the walls, giving the scene a Sleepy Hollow loolc. -Xt eight o'cloclc the guests arrived, dressed in all sorts of cos- tumes, niany of theni very becoming. -Xniong the many aniusenients of the evening, a booth of corn stalks had been erected in one corner of the gyninasiuin, where Nlisses Dodge and Peck held sway as Mystic Qracles and poured pleasing things into the ears of those who desired a peep into their future life. ,Xt ten o'clock, refreshments consisting of puniplqin pie and apples were served. After giving numerous class yells, the party broke up. Everyone was conscious of having had a good tinie and loud in his praises for the Juniors as entertainers. s A is is ? if i vrcpemnfvc-show ?'n111'u1' f'011rrj'l1'o11 of .'S'f'll1'Ul' ,lflimflligflf -SVU Utlif I. famzie Blackburn- Let me aga111 see the man w1tl1 sunset crown, Xlfho wlshed to escort me out of town.

Un Friday afternoon classes and groups of classes will hold reunions in the building and on the campus. If the alumni are inclined, there may be some athletic sports in the afternoon, also. The greatest event of the day, however, is to be the banquet in the gymnasium. It is to begin at six o'cloclc and end whenever possible. Three hundred plates will be provided in the gym- nasium. If more people wish to attend another room, probably number nine, will be made ready and the banquet served therein. .Xt the conclusion, the banqueters will adjourn to the gallery of the gymnasium to hear the toasts. On Saturday morning there is to be a conference on, lVhat is the Function of the Normal School. The chief speakers will be normal school presidents from other states. Saturday evening will be given over to alumni programs in Philadelphia and lVrightonia. To specify those who are to take part would hardly be fair, but it may be safely asserted that there will be something doing all the time. ' On Sunday morning, as a fitting close to the demonstrations of the love of all former and present students for the old school, l'rcsidcnt llicronynius, of Furclca College, will deliver the Semi- Centennial Sermon. form .X.

XYrightonia has not been slow in responding to the stimulus that has come with the ellort of the school in general to make this fiftieth year a memorable one. The olllcers of the society during the past year have all worked hard to increase the interest and better the society work in general. Mr. Herbert Mcliean, as President in the fall term gave the society a good start, and the same spirit of progress was carried further by his successor, Mr. O. A. Barr. One of the most noticeable features of the year's work has been the willing- ness to work on the part of the members. This has been shown in the improvement of the programs and the improvement of the society hall and parlor. New furniture was purchased for the stage and for the parlor, and each presents a very different ap- pearance. T In Mr. Barr's term of office the Inter-Society contest was held which was won by XVrightonia. The instrumental music was the only number that was lost, and one judge voted for the 'Wrightonian contestant in that case. Mr. Scheid, the president during the spring term, has worked hard, and with the assistance of Miss Edna Gray as secretary, has kept up the standard of the programs, and the term's society work has been a mo-st pleasant one. The school year of IQO6-'07 is a no-teworthy one from the standpoint of accomplishing the work that was planned at the beginning of the fall term. NVe have done a great deal of good both for ourselves and the society this year, and our only hope is that it be carried further and improved upon to a greater de- gree next year. Y ELIJAH XMILLIAMS. Page Seventy-three E119 3j11hp35 Qghilahvlphia This is the year of celebration. It is the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of our school, the liftieth anniversary of our president's birth and lastly this is the fiftieth year in the life of the l'hiladelphian society. The founding of this society was by no means an unimportant incident. Many of the men and women who were members have risen to places of eminence and inliuence and of these, as of all her sons and daughters, Philadelphia has reason to be proud. The attitude of these sons and daughters is also testimony of the fact that of her meek fiock the people .ioycd to be. But xve are not wholly given up to distant retrospection. As xve look over the road just traveled we see that some hopes have not been realized, some ends unattained, but there is much of which to be proud. y . Altho we lost the contest perhaps we have a right to feel that xve fought a good fight, and the contest is not the only thing for which to work. The interest thruout the year has been above the average in intensity, even lasting thru the spring term. We feel that this portends a successful future. The society has tried to beautify its hall and parlor in antici- pation of her guests who are to come back this year, and altho the work has been carried on in the face of adversities, the wil- lingness on the part of students to suffer personal sacrifice for this work has greatly aided the cause. The presidents for the fall and winter-Mr. Smith and Mr. Gray-have been men of ability and society spirit and much of the successful work is due to their efforts. As we meet with and welcome back the returning Phila- delphian alumni we will be glad to jo-in them in paying tribute to the oldest literary society of the l.S.N.U. and hang our wreath on her ctime' honored urn.', FLoRENcE GLSON.

XYe sincerely hope that the Y.M.C.A. xvorlq yvill continue as a factor in the life of the young men of our institution. During the past year much earnest work has been done. Many of our members have been very faithful and to the efforts of these faithful ones xve attribute results that have been accom- plished. Those who have xvorlqed hardest have received the 1nost benefit for it is true of the Y.M.C.A. work as of all others that what ive can take from it is in proportion to what yve bring to it. Qui' society vvas represented at the Geneva Summer Confer- ence last summer by Mr. Charles Fahrnkopf, at Illinois State Convention by Mr. Charles Mcliean, at the conference held in Bloomington by numerous representatives, and the prospects for representatives at Geneva this year are very good. The work for next year has been planned and begun and ive are looking for- xvard to a pleasant and prosperous year in '07-'08 Our association stands for the thorough development of our young men spiritually as xvell as mentally and bodily. XVe be- lieve vvith Dr. Richard Edwards, as he announced to us at the meeting held in his home, that the life of the person who lacks spiritual development is a failure. No young man can afford to neglect this part of his preparation for life and especially can no young man vvho is to have a teacher's influence in the moulding of the characters of our boys and girls afford to neglect it. XVe, therefore, vvish to extend to the young men the invitation, Come thou with us and we will do thee good. 6 H. A. Metisiw.

'llhe association has spread to many lands and is annually helping' lmndreds of young' women to purer, nobler ways ol' liv- ing. During' this year the two national associations have atiiliated and we are now a part of this union organization. llc have aimed this year to do our very best and to accom- plish all the good possible-how far we have succeeded is known only to Him in whose name we work. The sacred concert held last ylune, under the direction of Mr, XYesthotT, was so successful that a similar one is to be given each year. The Bible Study Class, led by Miss Lillian Barton, has spent a proiitable year's work on Studies in the Life of ,lesus Christ. llc have received much inspiration from our delegates to the various conventions. Miss Draper represented us at XVinona Lake, and we were represented at the state convention at Cham- paign, also. i Not only have we worked for the spiritual side of life, but for the social as well. Among' the most enjoyable affairs in this line were the term social, or Fish Party, given more especially for the new students early in the fall term, the luncheon when our state secretary, Miss XYeeks, visited us, and the bazaar held just before the holidays. Not the least of the good done by the Y.lV.C.A. is the pleas- ant memories which our work here will afford in later life, and all who have worked together will surely join in saying, The Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from the otherf' JXLICE C.

Ehp jjnhpx Page Seventy-six Glirrrn Xow what has Cicero been doing the past year? Much in- deed that. cannot hnd place here. Speaking in general, Cicero has become strengthened in every department ot its organization. First of all, we note a change in the administration from dem- ocratic to republican. The presidents of the society and also of the model senate have been the representatives of this party. Those who have held office for the past year are: President, F all Term, H. A. Albright, President, lVinter Term, N. Ad- ams, President, Spring Term, R. E. Laughlin, President, Model Senate, Fall Term, C. G. Appel, Wfinter Term, H. A. Albright, Spring Term, Elmer Gingerich. The programs during the year have been excellent. The debate was ever held in prominence. The general tone of the readings and essays also mark a step in advance. The same may also be truthfully said of the musical numbers. The model senate has played an important part in the society. Great national questions have been debated, and it is the general opinion that the work in this department of Cicero is very bene- iicial. The Ciceronian constitution has been closely scrutinized. amended where it was deemed expedient, and indeed closely ob- served as a whole. A revision committee is at work now re- drafting the instrument. The keeping of the records in every department has been improved upon, in order that people looking back may easily ascertain what has been clone during the year. The membership is larger than ever before. At no time has it been less than three-fourths of the male members of the school, the attendance reaching the highest in the fall term when seventy- two had their names on the books as members. The social side of the society has not been neglected, and at several times enjoyable entertainments have been given. In all, Cicero is in a Hue condition to begin operations in the fall of 1907. C.

Page Seventy-seven Glu jjnhpx i-'vapplinniztn Smrirtg When Friday evening comes and thc weeks recitations are over, there is a tendency on the part of most ol us to throw otli the cares of our school duties for the rest of the day. To the girls of the school the Sapphonian society offers tl1e opportunity for this pursuit of their chosen interests. The Sapphonian society works in committees, all girls inter- ested in the same thing forming a committee. The distinguish- ing feature of the society is that each member does the work she most enjoys and each committee has a certain delinite aim for which it works. This year we have had three committees. Each committee has its special meeting every other week and on Fri- day evening ot the intervening week all meet together at an open meeting to which the girls of the school are invited, the pro- gram being furnished by one of the committees. The travelers' committee this year have taken imaginary journeys thru Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, noticing es- pecially the natural scenery and the people, their modes of living, customs, and industries. Excellent programs have been pre- sented at the open meetings. The music committee have pursued a very interesting study under the leadership of Mrs. Cunningham. During the year they have studied Rubenstein and Chopin. The Shakespearian songs that have been set to music, Irish folk-songs and some of the French compositions. This committee has some members who show exceptional ability and the programs have been of a very high standard. The girls of the Literature committee have studied four plays from fEschylos, Agamemnon, The Libation-pourers, The Eumenicles, and Prometheus Bound, together with one of the modern Prometheus stories. The committee presented the Li- bation-pourers with the characters in Greek costumes. The Sapphonian society this year completes the twentieth year of its work and it is hoped that during the next twenty years the influence and membership may continually increase. ANNA BREMER.

The Girls' Debating Club, the youngest literary organization in the school, was established in 12103, by a number of girls wish- ing practice in debate. In the beginning and during several terms since when the members have so wished, the club at alternate meetings has held sessions of the Model House, but thruout the past year this has been abandoned and all the meetings have been given over to regular literary programs. As a rule the attendance has been good and participation in the work praiseworthy. The club does not aspire to a large membership, but what it does value is faithful workers. Qui' purpose in giving our programs is not merely to furnish entertainment, but rather to gain for ourselves ease and confi- dence in speaking before an audience, and to give something of value to the audience. The programs are generally based on some central topic. Among those which have been especially successful we remember the Japanese, Domestic Science, and Roman programs. For the latter program two boys from the Ciceronian Society furnished a debate which we greatly appreciated The club this year has been especially fortunate in the selec- tion of its presidents. They have all been girls who were willing to work and who, moreover, put their hearts into the work. The members of the club feel that the success of this year is due in great part to the leadership of its presidents and to the help of Miss Blanchard, who at all times has worked with us faithfully. XYhile we appreciate all the good times afforded by the so- ciety, we must remember that we are organized for work. Let us try next year to do more efhcient work and to be always regular in our attendance and faithful in the performance of our duty. MARY RATHSACK.

Uf all the student enterprises, the school paper is the most popular and perhaps the most important. It reflects the life and vigor of the school, and thus the students are made to feel the quickening spirit of the institution which they have formed. Qui' own paper, T110 1'1'11'0110, is no exception to the rule. lts weekly visits have been a genuine pleasure to all. Faculty, stu- dents, and friends far away, have eagerly sought its pages to breathe anew the vivifying atmosphere of the Qld Normal. The paper started out last fall under favorable auspices and has been well supported during the year. In spite of the added expense of a weekly and in spite of the almo-st futile effort to retain a business manager, T110 1'1'11'0110 has prospered. XVhile Mr. Griggs and Mr. Freeland deserve merited praise for start- ing T110 V1110110 on a firm foundation, Mr. Brittin has won the honor of saving it from bankruptcy. Mr. Reinhart has been editor-in-chief, and the editorials have partaken largely of the vigor, directness, and eruclition of the editor. His views have been openly, fearlessly, and courteously expressed.

For several weeks before the Christmas vacation, the stu- dents of the l.S.N.U. were' filled with excitement, for on the Friday before vacation, was to occur the annual contest between XX'rightonia and Philadelphia. Color rushes were many, as- cents to the belfry in the dark of night occurred. The nervous strain under which the students were held grew greater and greater, each event stirring the Hame to more intense heat. Cn Friday evening, December 21, old .Normal Hall was filled. The NYrights had been victorious in the basket ball con- test of 'llhursday, thus winning the privilege of flying their colors over the gym in IQO7. Both societies were determined to win the literary contest and the right to ily their colors from the main building. Hence neither society was lacking in spirit on this eventful night. -Xttention was excellent, the program being an exceptionally line one. At recess each society gave vent to its feelings and the hall was filled with a mixture of the songs and yells of both. 'llhe crucial nionient came just before the judges' decision. liveryone present was keyed to the highest pitch, and awaited with bated breath the opinion of the judges. - XYhen l'resident lfelmley announced that Philadelphia had won the instrumental music and XVi-ightonia the other six points, her supporters literally went wild. lt is not necessary to Speak in particular of any nuniberg all were excellent as was portrayed by the fact that the judges were dvided in their decisions, the debate and oration alone being unanimous.

On Saturday evening, February 23, was held the Edwards Oratorical and Declamatory Contest in Normal Hall. Professor XYoodward had put a great deal of work on the contest in the way of getting people to go on for either oration or declamation. A large number promised but when the time for the event ar- rived, there were but three orators to compete for honors. Quite a number of young ladies were in the preliminary contest, the winners of this being those who took part in the Edwards Con- test. All of the orators had worked for weeks on their respective themes and the oratorical contest was much better than the aver- age one. The delivery of each person showed careful training. Mr. N icdao was the winner, and was given the Edwards gold medal and the right to represent the school in the Inter-Normal contest. The young ladies who recited had spent much time in train- ing and the decision of the judges was awaited with interest. Miss Mansfield was given first place and the medal. On the whole the contest' this year was very good. There is but one thing lacking, and that seems to be interest. Next year there should not be less than ten in each the oratorical and dec- lamatory preliminary. Below is the program as rendered: Orchestra. Oration- The Worldls Greatest lndustryv. .. ....

The delegation was composed of the boys' and girls' basketball teams, the band, and supporters of the school. Mr. Thompson, the orator, arrived a day earlier, accom- panied by one of his fellow students. Un the afternoon of their arrival the boys' basketball game was played, which is chronicled in another portion of this book. The oratorical contest was held at 8 o'clock in Normal Hall. XVe were represented by Mr. Miguel Nicdao, the winner of the ora- tion for lVrightonia in the Inter-Society contest. He delivered the same oration, The First Need of the Filipinos, and was opposed by Mr. S. Arthur Thompson, of Macomb, who took for his theme The Problem of the Black Man. Both orators had good thought and composition, and had spent a great deal of time on delivery. It was an undecided question by the audience, as to who was the winner, but the judges' decision was unanimously in favor of Mr. Nicdao. Ac- cordingly he was thus chosen as the representative to the Inter- State contest at Emporia, Kan. On the following morning the girls' teams of the two schools played a basketball game which was won by Normal. The Ma- comb people left for their homes at 5 :o8 in the afternoon having lost the contest and basketball games, but many expressed them- selves as having had an enjoyable time while in Normal even if they were not as successful along literary and athletic lines as they might have wished. Elie fdnhrx Page Eighty-Six 'ltr 0B5l1knalt nrmztl Erhatv The eighth annual inter-state . debate between the State Normal . School of Qshkosh, Wfisconsin, and l.S.N.U. took place Friday evening, May 17, in Normal Hall. f ,,,,.f--S Qur representatives were Miss Minnie Vautrin, Mr. James Smith, and Mr. Otto Reinhart. The proposition for debate, Regal-wtf, That the general prop- ' A ' ertv tax, in so far as it is a state tax, should be superceded by some form or forms of taxation other than a general tax on realty and personality, was submitted by Illinois. lVisconsin chose the affirmative, and in the contest won the decision of the judges. f ln -such contests the conserva- tive side the argument for the N. maintenance of the status quo- invariably proves stronger than anticipated, and usually wins. Xware of this fact, Normal in submitting the question, tried to make the aflirmative strong and overdid it. NVisconsin undoubt- edly had the better side of the question. Qui' opponents took successfully the three necessary steps for the affirmative: C Il the general property tax was demonstrated to be abominable in its operation, C25 the separation of the sources of State and local revenue was shown to be the first step needed in a reform, and C35 it was made clear that there are plenty of means from which to get revenue for the Statels sup- port aside from the general property tax. Our debaters all did excellent work, but the general property tax is so condemned by authority and so open to scathing criticism that they seemed to be on the defensive from the first. Those who have heard these inter-state debates from the beginning say that Normal has sel- dom, if ever, had a stronger team. Next year we have the choice of sides. , .J ' X xx ' '--.N ANNA JOSEPH.

This was quite a disappoint- ment to Mr. Nicdao's supporters, for those who remained at home thought it would take something quite extraordinary to bet him, and those who heard the contest felt that no one else did quite so well. In delivery Mr. Nicdao ranked high, coming within one-fourth of a point of tying for first place. I-Iis grace- fulness, directness, and earnestness were pleasing and convincing. There was of course some peculiarity in speech, but his long, patient labor had accomplished remarkable results. Many said Glu, Qjlnhpx Page Eighty-eight thev missed almost no words at all. XVhat but his peculiar ac- cent can account for the ridiculous rank which tied him with the XYisconsin man, it is impossible to see. The weakest point in the deliverv which won, was the strongest point in Mr. Nicdao's de- liverv.' The former showed a sort of disinterested, mechanical precision, the latter was fiery and persuasive. . . Mr. Xicdao's ranks in thought and composition were a sur- orise. He had a very concrete and definite subject-an appeal for the removal of the Dingley tariff on Philippine sugar. This, he argued, is the only means for the revival of Philippine pros- perity, which is the only sure foundation for an educational sys- tem. Apparently the judges were of a more philosophical turn of mind. The Kansas oration on Thought Triumphant se- cured two tirsts and a second, and it is unnecessary to further in- dicate the nature of the production-rather monotonous in style, and naturally producing a monotonous delivery. Mr. Nicdao has been in the United States about four years, and in the I.S.N.U. three years. He is the youngest member but one of the class of 1907. He will return in September to the Philippines to teach for three years at least. Since coming to this institution he has taken great interest in the work of Cicero and NVrightonia. In December he represented the Vtfrightonian Society as orator in the inter-society contest and won. The ora- tion he used at Emporia was the same, except for revision, that he used in the inter-society contest. This subject he began work- ing on over a year ago, and has stuck to the study, writing, and delivery with most commendable persistence ever since. The suc- cessful result of this work ought to be a valuable pointer to other aspirants for oratorical honors. The same degee of effort put forth by students not handicapped in the language as Mr. Nicdao is, would surely bring the institution an enviable record. Those present at the contest from Illinois were President Felmley, Mr. Nicdao, and Mr. Wfoodward of Normal, and Mr. Thompson and Miss Coffee, of Macomb. The remarkable success of the contest financially, deserves notice. The admission fee was 75c and there were more than one thousand people in attendance. A proht of over S200 was divided among the five states. lt is to be hoped that next year the present antiquated system of judging will be superseded by the more rational plan now in use by all the large oratorical associations. The business meet- ing voted down our proposed amendment providing for judg- ment on thought. composition, and delivery by one set of judges but we secured the passage of a motion referring the amendment to the various states for consideration before the meeting in IQOS. It is to be hoped that this agitation will result, in a nearer approach to the standard of public speaking according to which all such work in real life must stand or fall. T H. S.

Several old players were back, and at first call for practice, twenty or more men re- ported. New suits were ordered and enough more were obtained to lit out a first and second team, bu the latter, having no one to coach them, dis- banded about the middle of the season and thereafter the first team had no one to practice against. Manager Griggs left school two weeks after the fall term opened, and not having the contracts drawn up, Mr. Stansbury, his successor as mana- ger, was somewhat handicapped in l securing early games. y In a practice game with Normal l high school, Moon, one of our best players, was so injured that the qual- ity of his playing was lowered thruout the season. After the second game, our broad center, Brittin, left school. Yet notwithstanding our streaks of hard luck, the boys did creditable playing in every game, save one, that at Charleston. In this game every man on the team seemed to have his off day, with the single exception of Dillon, the fighting half-back. To those who look only at the number of games won, the sea- son seems unsuccessful, perhaps. But to the follower of the game and to the players especially, there rests a feeling that all our efforts were fully repaid. Altho the game of football is a little strenuous and somewhat dangerous at times, yet there grows up a feeling of comradeship between the players, the degree of which is not reached by any other game. The prospects for a good team next year are encouraging, as several of this and last year's team will be back. Chester Dil- lon was elected captain and is working as only a man can, who is so thoroly interestediin the game as he is. Ira Dingledine is manager and has been at work for some time in securing dates. The following is the list of players and the positions played W light Eiicl-Diehl, Pulliam.

After the inter-society ball game had been played and after the students had returned from their Christmas vacations, the interest in basket ball was directed to the picking of the hrst team. At no time for a few weeks could one tell just who- would make up the team, so strong was the desire of the candidates from the society teams for a place. The boys elected Mr. I. D. Frantz to act as their captain, they recognizing the great record he made last year as a goal thrower. After a few weeks in this of- fice, and getting to play in the first game of the seasonagainst Bradley Polytechnic, in which he scored 28 out of the 46 points, he was advised by his doctor to withdraw from the team and later from school, for which the whole student body was sorry. Mr. Jay Crist was elected his successor. f The closest games of the season were played with lfureka and Lake Forest, these two teams being the only ones to win from Normal. lloth of the visiting teams had been coached by experi- enced men and our defeat at their hands was not surprising. The game which attracted the largest crowd was that with Macomb -X fifty-three collar crowd was present when this was played and the expense of S50 necessary to bring the visitors here was more than made. The interest in basket ball seems to have been lag- ging for the past two seasons. Que reason only is given for this fact-the basket ball manager is not elected until late in the fall term and as a consequence the schedule is not what it should be or what it used to be. Let the above be a plea for the Athletic Board of Control for the ensuing year to elect the basket ball manager not later than the second week of the hrst school month.

Several of the old men will be in school and there should be a good team. The girls of the school this year played but one game, that being with Macomb. They won this contest by a score of 24 to 8, and outclassed their opponents in every stage of the game. Games between different school organizations were frequent and helped to keep up the athletic interest. The girls elected Miss Ethel Rosenberry as captain, and with her leadership the following team was put on the field: Ruth Felmley and Eleanor Hoierman, forwards, Edith Craig and Ethel Rosenberry, center and side center, respectively, Lulu Archibald and Barza Perry, guards. The girls owe much of their success to the coaching under the di- rection of Mr. Gresham Griggs, who had charge of the team all winter. JAY D. CRIST. Page Ninty-three 9 K . GW FITZGERRELL. CK I he I ruth I Pam. Wie did good work in football, the basketball season on the whole was a suc- cess, the baseball team altho not wholly successful as far as game won is con- cerned, was by no means a failure, but the track team is the aggregation that has done the work this year. Because of the circumstances under which track athlet- ics are carried on at the University, it was impossible to enter in but two meets, ,A pg, these being the Bloomington Y.M.C.A. Indoor Meet, and the Bloomington Y.M.C.A. Outdoor Meet. The first was held in the Blooming- ton Coliseum on the evening of March 8, and the latter on XVednesday, May 29, at the NVesleyan Ball Park. In the Indoor Meet the Normal team greatly surprised all of the audience which Filled the large auditorium. They were not expecting the local school to do much. The Bloomington High School had been picked for the winner in many of the events, and they were in the end of the meet in second place. Every school had been given the honor of winning the meet before it oe- curred-except Normal. But we are agreed on one thing. It is better to be given the honor after the meet is over than before. Normal won first place in the 35-yard dash, hrst in the shot put, 'first in the high jump, first in the I2o-yard high hurdles, second in the half mile and second in the broad jump. At the iinish Iiitzgerrell had I3 points to his credit, Gerard 8, and Dillon 5, The University got the cup and Fitzgerrell the individual cup. The members of the school were naturally overjoyed because of the winning of this meet, but the excitement was not to be Page Ninety-four in compared to that when the Outdoor iMeet was won. The pick- ing' of the point winners by certain sporting men in Bloomington gave the Bloomington High School Y.M.C.A. and XVesley.an the whole thing. Normal was scarcely considered. Normal High School was thought to have first place in the 22o low hurdles, Dull, her colored sprinter having won the same at the lnter-Scholastic at Champaign. XYhen the meet started it was Normal and continued so thruout the whole thing. Fitz won the first event pulled off-the fifty-yard dash, and kept on win- ning event after event until there were live straight chalked up to his credit. The Normal captain won iirst place in the fifty- yard dash, Ioo-yard dash, 22o-yard dash, 440-yard dash, and the shot put. That was twenty-live points alone, but his team mates helped him out in good style. Hellyer took Hrst in the high jump, and second in the running hop, step and jump. Crist got second place in the half mile run in fast time and Uncle Black- burn who never saw a discus before this year got third place. The total of points registered for the local team was thirty-seven, with Bloomington High School 26, Y.M.C.A. 24, Normal High School 2o, and Illinois NVesleyan Io. The Normal University should certainly feel proud of the showing made by the track team this year, and especially of Fitz- gerrell her hard working captain. At the close of the winter term we lost C. Harrison, Dillon, and Gerard. Harrison, the long' dis- tance man, was missed in the mile, but Crist did fine work in the half. Dillon would have won the hurdles had he been in and Gerard would have greatly helped in the broad jump. Hellyer took care of the high jump and running hop, step and jump. XYe have had the material, the encouragement, and the success. Keep it up next year and do the same thing as has been done by the Normal team this year. Two cups are now to be seen at the school, as trophies of our success in the two meets.

Last year we hadgno team, but this year it was the intention before the close of the basketball season to have a team if the same was at all possible. The men have been out since early this spring training without the assistance of any-- one and considering this fact the sea- son has not been so bad as the scores may indicate. Every man on the team has worked under the most trying odds and great credit should be given the team as a whole and individually, con- sidering the conditions under which the season has been carried. lt should be an inspiration to those who will be in early and schools next year to begin keep up the athletic spirit along base- ball lines.

The Girls' Glee Club was organized about the middle of the fall term with Mr. XX'estholf as director, and Miss Eleanor Hoier- man as accompanist. The organization started with a member- ship of about twelve, but since then several new members have been taken in. The club has been studying four part music dur- ing the greater portion of the year, altho two and three part songs have also been studied. There have been practices twice a week after chorus rehearsals. Altho the young ladies were sometimes quite tired after singing for an hour, there was a great deal of good work accomplished. The club has during the' past year appeared before the liter- ary societies, at general exercises, at the concert given by the University Choral Club, at the State Librarian's Association, and a few ventured to Springheld to sing at the State Teachers, meet- ing. ln general the attendance at the meetings has been good, yet like all bodies of this kind there are some members who can- not be depended on. However there are few in the Glee Club that may be included in this class. Much of the success that has been achieved is due to the un- tiring efforts of our director and pianist, and all feel very grate- ful to them for their .faithfulness and the valuable services they have rendered.

XfVith the idea of making a recital of some sort a feature of Commencement of 1906, early in the spring of that year Profes- sor Wlesthoff formed a chorus composed of students of the l.S.N.U. and the Normal High School. The chorus met two evenings each week and learned a number of selections from the oratorios of Mendelssohn, Handel and Hayden. These songs, with some other musical numbers, were rendered as an accom- paniment to an address delivered on the afternoon of Baccalau- reate Sunday under the auspices of the Christian Associations. This experiment was so successful that it became the desire of the President and Professor VVesthoff to make such a recital a feature of the Commencement week at the University, and also to make a choral society one of the permanent organizations of the school. Consequently a similar chorus was formed the fol- lowing fall and at the end of the term another recital was given- this one of a secular nature. The formal organization was not effected this term. . At the first meeting after the beginning of the winter term, however, Mr. Wfesthoff appointed a committee of three members to draw up a constitution, and at the next meeting this consti- tution was submitted, and adopted, with a few slight changes. The constitution provided that the society should be called the University Choral Club, that all students of the University should be invited to become members and that there should be four offi- cers, in addition to the director. The officers should be student members of the Choral Club and should hold office for one term only. For the winter term of IQO6-O7 the oliicers chosen were: President, Gresham Griggs, vice-president, Margaret T riplett, secretary, Eleanor Hoierman, treasurer, Elijah XVilliams. The officers chosen for the spring term were: President, Margaret Triplett, vice-president, Jay D. Crist, secretary, Ola J. Litchfield, treasurer, Ira W. Dingledine. g The work of the past term has been conducted with a view to surpassing the achievements of a year ago. Sacred music will be furnished on Baccalaureate Sunday, and other music will be given in connection with the events of Jubilee week. MARGARET TRIPLIQTT. Uhr QDYIHPETYH. Une afternoon during the fall term of 1904, seven students met with Professor XVesthoff for the purpose of organizing an orchestra. Since then, the number of orchestra members has in- creased to ten, and to our violins, mandolins, cornets and piano of the lirst year have been added second violins and clarinets. The orchestra meets for practice every XVednesday during the eighth hour, in Philadelphian Hall. ln the course of the past year, some difficult compositions have been rendered. The orchestra has been much in demand. They have played on society programs, on numbers of the lecture course, at con- tests, at receptions, dances and banquets. Several of the present orchestra are seniors, and hence will not be in school next year. It is hoped, however, that enough new players will enter in the fall so that next year's orchestra will be even better than this year's+the best in the history of the institution. Besides the orchestra, a mandolin club was organized in the spring term of this year. It is hoped that this is the nucleus of a large club which will be fully as popular as the l.S.N.U. or- chestra.

The sun shines bright, and little is heard except now and then some bird-note is carried along on the breezeless air. ln the campus are seen many people, girls in gay summer frocks, youths with glowing faces, grave men, whose faces are creased with care, and women who lo-ng to be young again, as they see the young people together. Some are sitting beneath the trees, in the shade, others are strolling, as if trying to find a cooler spot, while many stand or sit beside the lily pond. The lilies are in blossom, and down in the water, beneath the lily pads can be seen the gleaming of gold fish, darting to and fro among the lily roots. The shining surface of the water is smooth, save now and then when it breaks into ripples as a faint breeze stirs the willows growing 'round its banks. There, among the willows, sit the peo- ple who, after a long week of work and care spend a part, at least, of their Sunday afterno-ons by the side of the lily pond. It is autumn, and the wind whistles thru the branches of the trees, whirling in eddies the falling leaves. The surface of the lily pond is not smooth now. Miniature waves cross its surface, and the small boy weeps aloud, as his sail bo-at capsizes and sinks. The brightly colored leaves fall upon its broad surface, and sail around it like liliputian boats. The birds' song is heard more rarely now, for it is nearing winter, and many are on their way to the warm and sunny south. The cackling blackbird, chatter- ing and gossiping with its fellows, sweeps down thru the air, till the world seems alive with blackbirds, pauses a while, as if seek- ing more gossip, and hurries on southward, to be seen no more until spring. The wind blows hard and cold. The temperature has fallen, and the pond is a glittering glare of ice. Hither comes the small boy with his Christmas skates, the girl who is learning to stand alone, and the staid and solemn Normal senio-r, who is almost too dignified to skate. Here is the heedless boy, with his shinny club, and the rosy-cheeked maiden in her sweater coat. The ring of steel, and merry laughter fills the air. Qccasionally a louder sound is heard, a bump, as of a fall, and a fall it surely is. Perhaps it is merely a child, altho often it is one of the stately seniors. The pond itself seems to enjoy it, for now and then it I i 1 W1 1 3 i I Page One Hundred Fifteen fjhp jnhpx seems as if it, too, were laughing, and a huge crack will appear across its face, like a broad smile. The ice has melted long since, and the trees are green once more. The squirrels scamper across the green grass, stopping to drink from the brink of the lily pond. The birds have come north, and the air is filled with their sweet songs. The natural- ist visits the pond with his dip net and magnifying glass, and the children stand for ho-urs, watching the salamanders, goldfish and tadpoles. Nearby, in one of the neighboring willows, some owls are nesting, and in the still spring evenings little is heard save their too-wootetoo-woo and the croaking of the frogs. The lily pond is now called the Frog Pond, for there are more frogs than lilies at this time of year. The tired tennis player often stops to rest beside the still Waters of the pond. The small boy aches to take off his shoes and stockings and wade in the clear water, and occasionally the little girl screams, as some older per- son threatens to throw her in. The pond is a thing of beauty now, and is visited often, especially by seniors, who, when they leave the dear old Normal, carry with them, imprinted in their memory forever, the image of the lily pond in all its beauty. A thing of beauty is cz joy f01'ef'e1',' Its l07J6lll.'l16SS 1'1ze1'eases,' it will nezfer Pass into uotlzinglzess, but still will keep A botver quiet for us and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, liealflz, and quiet Z7l'Cf7Z'lZ2.7'lg. --folm Keats.

Some one has said that the most pleasant things of life are those which are arranged o-n the spur of the moment or at least gotten up in short order. Such was certainly the case in the hold- ing of the senior party in the gymnasium on April 22nd. In the morning of that day several of the Senior girls conceived the idea of having the members of the class assemble in the gymnasium and enjoy what is commonly termed a feed At IO 130 groups of Seniors were seen going south on School street to the home of Miss Hildreth. Each one of the ladies was laden with a pack- age or packages, and the mouths of the boys at once began to water. At the appointed hour the trip was made to the state building where the spread wa.s to be held, and it was not long before entrance was gained through a window and the forty Seniors were enjoying themselves on the floor which had been the scene of many a closely-fought basketball game. Many games were proposed. Some wanted to play foot- ball, others basketball, one of the gentleman members of the Oshkosh debating team was bent on playing the old familiar game of 6'Postofhce,', but the ladies were unable to comply with his wishes and he had to be content with black man, a minia- ture basketball game, foot races, and a general mix-up sometimes known as crack-the-whipf, All in all the games o-f the evening were entered into with a spirit that was unexpected, and the tired feeling that ea.ch Senior carried with him the next day reminded him that there had been something unusual in the entertainment of the evening before. The games were followed by the best part o-f the 'cdoingsv according to the statement of the editor of the Vidette. All of those present assumed sitting postures in the middle of the floor, and patiently waited for the waiters to appear. Soon they came with sandwiches, pie, pickles, olives, and other picnic delicacies. At the completion of this form of the evening's entertainment, the Vidette man demonstrated that he was able to do some things besides write news. A camera was produced and a Hash light of the group taken. Although the program of the night was not arranged previously in any definite order, everyone had a time that will not soon be forgotten. No one was aware that there was anything of the nature under headway, and not until the morning paper conveyed the news on Tuesday morning did the Juniors and faculty know that the Senior class had celebrated.

You well remember the iirst lew weeks you spent within these walls, as entering student. You did not then know what it means-MLS. N. U. Perhaps you thought its meaning was tragedy. You went tremblingly to your class-rooms. You sat with silent prayers that you might not be called upon. You discovered with terror that you were asked to recite on questions not within the lessonf' You were filled with despair over assignments not in the book. You were crushed when you were told that you were not intellectually honest - that you did not read your author conscientiously or report upon him truth- iully. You ielt apologetic, very humble. Unless you were very iortunate and unusual the thought ol a host ol coming duties frightened you beyond Page One Hundred Eighteen all measure. You were told by hardened seniors that next year you would be in the training school. You would be called a student teacher. Sometimes the faculty would come to visit you. There would be critic teachers to stand guard over you permanently. You would attend critiques. Critiques were lessons taught before a vast audience of criticising teachers and students. Perhaps you might have to teach one-once students did, and one could never tell when the custom might be renewed. tit would, you knew, when your turn camel The second day you were here you heard about urhetoricalsf' You were told carelessly that they meant speeches and talks and things. You had never made a 'ispeechi' or talk, You did not want to begin. You wondered why you had come. You decided that you were not made to be a teacher. You thought seriously of writing that you would come home. You never did, of course, and gradually you forgot your tragedies. Occasionally you volunteered an answer in class. After a while you ceased to spend the general exercise hour wondering how you would get thru the next houris work and wishing that you might be studying for it. You ceased to sigh longingly for the gym hour when you could relax your strained nerves. By the end of the first term you found yourself with the strong conviction of one whose woes are past, encouragingly calling upon newer Freshmen to Hcheer up. By Christmas you were happily plunged in plots for your society's honor. Old l. S. N. U. meant more and more to you.

NORMAL,'ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1907. NUMBER 13. OTTO E. REINHAIQT, Editor. CHARLES H. BRITTIN, Business Manager. The Psychological Effects of the Propriety and ,Advisability of the Perpetual Absorbance of Weekly Faculty Rhetoricals. K. SPIELWELL The body of students who a.ttend the Normal University are here for the purpose of being trained for the teach- er's profession. There are many things that will come up after you have fin- ished yo-ur course and gone out in the midst of the common people, whose children will be put in your' care for in- struction. In instructing the children you will come across obstacles which seem at first sight insurmountable. One which will come up to as great an extent as any will be that of being able to speak before the children as an audi- ence, and convey to their immature minds, in a clear cut manner, the ideas which you have stored up while a stu- dent yourself. For this reason we have our rhetorical classes, the purpose of which are to train yo-u in a line that will be a benefit to you later. We hope that these efforts that have been put forth with this object in view, have been, and will be appreciated, and fur- ' . thermore that you will receive from the exercises the intended help. But we have not stopped with this one advantage alone. The corps of teachers assembled here have risen to a place in educational circles, where their ability is a recognized fact. They have one and all mastered the art of speaking before a public a.udience. They have furthermore been educated in the art of choosing subjects that are of the mo-st interest to the students who are slated to listen to the dis- courses, and the manner of presenta- tion has been worked up to a well known degree of perfection. All these efforts have been put forth with an idea o-f helping the Normal student. Une thing has been especially no- ticeable. The command of the Eng- lish language and the ability to marshal phrases in ways almost inconceivable is deserving of praise. A thoro course in history, pertaining to places of his- toric interest in our own and foreign lands, a glance at the physical side of life, a word concerning our posses- sions, some unknown facts relative to the famous authors, anecdotes of school days with interesting statistics of the location of the buildings and grounds, some philosophical mon- THE VIDETTE. strosities and laws pertaining to the evolution of several species of human conception, and many more interesting phases of human life and education, have been listened to with keen interest. Such things as these should by all means be practiced in your school room. You will be benefited and have an opportunity to show what prelimi- nary training you had before ascending to your present place in life. The pu- pils will enjoy it as you used to, and taken in all the practice is a healthful and interesting one. ,i....l.-l.- Athletics. , The athletic spirit at the local insti- tution increases daily. It is indeed a surprising fact the number of young men who seem to be in need of some form of exercise. Only yesterday af- ternoon there wa.s a cro-wd of about thirty out for baseball practice. The members of the team have not as yet been chosen altho the season is about clo-sed. Frizzy Sill and Buck Brian are doing some pitching that surprises even the most sanguine ob- server. Moon and Ogle are still do- ing the stunts as only professionals can and the team in general are there with the go-ods, Jim Smith has shown a great deal of ability in the art of chas- ing balls behind the catcher and has been given this position permanently. He greatly appreciates it and the fans have shown their appreciation of his work all seaso-n. Gray himself is not a baseball man, but all season he has shown his inter- est in the game by being the o-nly man xvho can be depended on to bat flies. 5 He sometimes uses a pa.tent fly catcher and other times he is seen with a base- ball bat. Crist is also on hand but the only work he has done is to make a great deal o-f noise from a ro-oting standpoint. The athletic spirit has in- deed so pervaded the minds of the stu- dent body that all kinds o-f stunts are being tried. Uncle Blackburn was only yesterday seen out in the hall of the Assembly Room endeavo-ring to the best of his ability to climb a hat pin that had been put in the Hoo-r for his own special convenience. All such things have found their way into the athletic world of the I.S.N.U.' It is a thing that deserves enco-uragement, and we take liberty at this po-int to say that the faculty and students are all with you. Keep up the athletics even if it is nothing fno-re than climbing hat pins or playing croquet with peas and tooth picks, as Miss Sylvia Smith and Miss Frances Kessler were fo-und to be doing some days ago. Don't forget the great baseball game to- be played next Saturday with the Mutilated Pygmies. They come with a well- earned reputation and a large crowd should be out to help them and Dingle- dine's co-lts along. Get busy and ro-ot. 1-To the Young Men.

Many visitors at this institution ask the question, Do the students econo- mize their time ?', In this it is meant, Is the time allotted fo-r work carefully planned ? Let everyone here take to himself this question. It is the fear of the writer that the average 'student does not act as wisely in this matter as he might. The lessons are as a rule hard and long, and the time is short. Many times the student has other du- ties to perform outside and the task is thereby made doubly hard. If each one would learn to give up some little enjoyment for the sake or the study- ing of some one topic of interest in connection with his lessons, the life of the one seeking education would be more of a pleasure. VVhat if you would have to 'fcut a date? Vtfould it ruin you for life? Do as we have done in many instances. Cut out some social engagement and the next time you go up stay a longer time and thereby make up for it. In giving up this social event, yo-ur time that would have been spent there would be spent on your studies. But such a condition of affairs is not necessary if the suggestion mentio-ned above is carried? out to the fullest de- gree. The time say, one ho-ur and thirty minutes, is spent on the advance lesson for bench work or mechanical drawing. Another space of time is spent in the absorbance of some other study, and so on. Every day is care- fully mapped out and furthermore, carried out. If the student body as a whole would not waste time, the grades recorded every three months would -v 1 ' 7-t W- ., 4. show up better, the teacher would be better satished, and it is unnecessary to say that the student would be over- . , , . joyed. lake the advice of one who knows by the hard road of experience, and hereafter work out a lesson as suggested-then fill your dates. I Smoke Up. I-Ialt!! Pay your subscription. NVe need the mo-ney. How do you expect us to make goo-d on the Vidette this year if you people don't get busy and hand us the spun ? VVe have been issuing this sheet for the past nine months and many of you people have been getting it free of charge. T hat's not business. What do you expect to do when a like proposition confronts yo-u when yo-u become a full-fledged teacher of the state of Illinois? Do you suppose for one minute that the body politic of our sylvan universe will be pro-ud of you? Of course not. Consequently cough up and check any accusations that may be hurled at your heads. My friend, the German editor, and myself are not mixed up in this thing just for the fun that we get out of it. Do yo-u think that it will be pos- sible for us to meet the demands that arise in a nnancial way? If we relied on you, there wo-uld be two poverty- stricken Seniors in this institution. I have spoken kindly to you several times and on several occasions you have given me your word of honor that your miniature subscription would be forthcoming but as yet I have seen nothing that might be likened unto it. This is the last call. I am giving you 4 . THE VIDETTE. fair warning. The first negligent sub- scriber that I meet face to face will be unexpectedly connected with my fist. The physiognomy of that said person in question will, if it is in my power, be mutilated beyond recognitio-n. My patience is go-ne, and pleadings will have no effect. If you did not want the paper why in the name of Otto E. Reinhart didn't you stop? I feel that this is enough. It is my last message. There will be nothing following unless it be your last will and testament. VVith these few words of warning I close with the fond hopes that the poor soul who is unfortunate enough to be business manager of the Vidette next year will have a different class of people to deal with. Now if any really feel dispo-sed to pay their subscription before school closes I have reduced the price to 98 cents. I C. H. BRITTIN, Bus. Mgr. ' .-..il....i.i.4 Exchanges. W'ord comes from Normal, Illinois, that one of our town is getting to be the most popular young man at the University at that place. Gtto Rein- hardt was born and raised- in our vi- cinity and was always considered one of the best students of the district school. The older residents will re- member his ability as a speaker and cornetist, being at one time leader of the famous Freeburg Vlfienerwurst Bandf' Our fellow townsman has grown since leaving here both in .stat- ure and intellectuality, and the resi- dents of Freeburg should feel justly proud of her product. I-Ie has, since he has been at Normal, been president 1 of one of the literary societies, editor of the school paper, debater on the an- nual inter-society contest, leader of the University band, and held many other offices of trust and esteem. It is with pleasure that we will welcome our boy home again. The young ladies of Freeburg are arranging for a wiener- wurst and sauer kraut supper to be given in his honor on his return. We suggest that affair be held at Dum- merfeldt's Innf as this is the most dis- tant of any of the good hotels of our village and will not cause any trouble to the health officer. Let every one put his shoulder to the wheel and be at the depot when Otto comes home.--F1'ee- bwfg Zeitzfmg, April 2, 1907. g It is with pleasure that we chronicle the good fortune of cone of the boys of our town, Edward B. Couch, who has achieved great renown at one of the educational institutions of our statef- namely, the Illinois State Normal Uni- versity, at Normal. When Eddie was a student at our town school he early showed great intellectuality. At the age of three' he was able to read the Bible, and when twelve could play a great game of croquet on the ground in Shel- don's pasture. He has spent the past two years at the school at Normal, with the exception of one term-he at that time being Assistant County Superintendent of Schools of Peoria county. CWe in- clude the latter. position for fear that our readers may not know of the fact. The faculty of the institution of which he has been attending at a recent elec- tion chose him as one of the represent- I I i 1 W vg ' r 7 ftiul' .fl THE VIDETTE. 5 atives at commencement time. Ac- cording to the young man's own state- ment he has made the best grade of any student who was ever enrolled there. NVe always knew he had a bright fu- ture before him but hardly ever ex- pected him to rise to the place he has in educational circles. An effort is be- ing made by the local board of direc- tors of District Number 23 to get him the position of superintendent for that locality for the ensuing year. His ar- rival home is being looked forward to with pleasure by the greater portion of our large populace.-Hanna City As- fp111'slzf'1', April 6, 1907. Q .lgili-i Our modest little town is achieving quite a reputation because of the suc- cess of one of the former residents of Wooclson.. Somewhat over two years ago, Mr. Herbert McKean, of this 'vil- lage, went to Normal and there en- tered school. He has since been at- tending the institution at that place and from all reports is the whole thingf' This report has as yet not been con- firmed, our only source of information being his letters to friends here. We feel safe in saying that this is enough, as he has always had the reputation of being a truthful boy. He is the presi- dent of the Y.M.C.A. of the school for the ensuing year, which in itself is quite an honor. He has put the ath- letic preparation he obtained on the farm here to a good advantage by play- ing on the football team at the school for the past two years. Besides his lit- erary and athletic ability, his work in musical lines is a noteworthy fact. In I - 1 'FT the large chorus which favors the mu- sic loving people of the city with strains from the best composers, our village product is heard above the rest, in tones sublime and harmonious. The residents of this burg will not be surprised at this fact, however. Her- bert's voice was often heard in the days of old when he was engaged 'in driving cows, and it was no doubt this partici- pation in this line of work that culti- vated his voice to its present perfection. To say that Woodsoii is proud of Her- bert is speaking mildly. We are afraid to predict for him, because of fear that we will not soar high enough. Keep it up, Herbie, we are all with you.- lfV 00055011 P7'C7!Cl-l'fCG'f0V, April Io, 1907. ..L..l..i.1-in Mr. J. Val Wiekei't arrived home last week from Normal where he has been engaged in attending the Normal University at that place, for the past three months. Val went to Normal first about eight years ago, and has been a student there at different times since. A portion of his time has been spent in teaching school and he has now completed enough work to permit his graduation in June. His appear- ance has been completely changed dur- ing his residence in that city, and when he arrived at Emden last week many of our citizens were of the opinion that some person of note had arrived, judg- ing from the appearance at first glance. This opinion was all the more believed when the gentleman spoke, for his ut- terances were those of wisdom and the result of association with the higher masters of learning. The small groups 6 THE VIDETTE. which congregated around him were awe struck at the manner in which he spoke of his great literary exploits dur- ing the past few years. For a poor boy with meager advantages to rise to such a height in the literary worldisremark- able, and as a token of our appreciation we extend to Professor XViekert the best we have.-Efmden M irror, March 22, 1907. Invitations to the commencement ex- ercises of the Illinois State Normal University were received in Blue Mound this week, quite a number be- ing sent by Mr. Frank Gray, who grad- uates there this year. Frankie went to Normal in the fall of 1901 and with the exception of two years spent in teach- ing, he has been there constantly. Some people go to school, and the students of the institution at which they are at- tending scarcely know of their pres- ence there. But not so with our pro- duct. He started his career in the fall of his entrance by making the football squad and in the winter was on the basket ball team. He continued his athletic training throughout his school days until he attained the position of basket ball captain and later football captain. His record on both fields of play are the best one could wish for and the students have often yelled for him alone because of his great work. Besides being prominent in an athletic way he has achieved as much fame in literary lines, especially during the past year. Everyone is justly proud of Francis, as he terms himself while in the intellectual center, and expect to hear more of him in the future. It is rumored that he will go to the Philip- pine Islands in company with Val Wfiekert, one of his fellow classmen and close friends, although the latter statement-has not as yet been verified. Several from this city will go to Nor- mal to witness the graduation exer- cises in a few weeks.-Blue Moiunci Magnifier, May 21, 1907. j Information coming from Normal in regard to Mr. james H. Smith, one of our boys, is to the effect that he is about to start a new form of educa- tion, that of compelling the students of all educational institutions to wear wherever they appear, a cap and gown. The gentlemen are urged to grow a small bunch of spinage on the lower extremity of their face, and if possible decorate the upper lip in the same manner. The ladies are asked to wear their hair down their backs, and tie the same with school colors. The new form of wearing apparel is meeting with the approval of quite a number of the votes he co-ntrols at the institution which he attends and it is expected that he will in time make a fortune out of the new project. Success to you, jimmy. Perry and vicinity are justly proud of you for your bravery.-Perry Reflector, April 6, 1907. Choice Bits of Information Wafted on the Social Breeze. ENTERTAINED.

Of course every one in school knew when the VVrightonians put their colors up they would not have the satisfaction of seeing them wave in the breeze very long if a Philadelphian could get his hands on them, even though he had to climb a waterspout. But very few knew the troubles that some people had, or the sleep lost on account of the co-lor rush. The Phils being stronger in the number of boys, had the advantage and that made it harder for the XVrights. After losing several yards of purple and gold, the Nlfrights decided to do the color raising in a manner that would win the admiration of the Phils. In a meeting a committee of four was appointed to arrange for a ceremonial raising of the colors. The Phils made their threats that the raising would not come off as scheduled. The committee were afraid that such would be the case. They were to meet at night to decide and as this meeting was known to the Phils, the main building was watched all of the fore part of the night. The committee layed their plans, and just to see how the Phils would behave, went walking past the building. Numerous whistles were heard and a score of hidden forms soon came glid- ing forth in the arc light. Apparently satisfied that no harm was intended, as there were a couple of la.dies in the VVright commit- tee, and being assured by the ladies that they were not going to bother to put up any more colors to be taken by the Phils as trophies, the Phils saw the NVrights home and thought all would be well till the ceremony the next day at noon. But a few were suspicio-us of the good intentions of the com- mittee and instructions were given to watch them early the next morning. As Buddy Diehl was rooming with one of the mem- bers he was to notify the Phils if anything was doing. But the Vtfrights had men of brains and often a little headwork can make up for lack of force. ln the early hours of the 1norning 'fBuddy,' walked up toward the University to see if anyone had been busy. Satisfied that all was quiet, he came back and went to bed, happy with the thought that once more the VVrights had been scared. But had he known all that had transpired while he was out he would not have slept much more that night, for his leaving the house was just what was needed for the success of the co-mmittee. Plans had been laid for an early raising of the colors and a strong guard to be placed to see that the colors floated till noon at least. So while Buddy,' was out some rapid changes were made in sleeping places by a couple of Wriglits Qbecause one being a basketball player was not allowed to lose sleepl and for once the Page One Hundred Thirty-seven ' HY pp p pp may Elly? Jlnhrx one sleeping in front did no complaining' when he was rudely awakened hy Ruddy crawling' over him and introducing his cold feet into the warmest spot in the bed. l3uddy spent the remaining' hours of the night, dreaming' of the future in which the orange and hlack would wave in triumph over the I.S.N.U. llut alas, at six-thirty he was rudely awakened hy an unfamiliar voice, which called him to the window to see the colors on the University. His exclamation, XVhat are you doing' in here, Doc? XYhere is Burt ? will long he remembered. For once the lfhils were outwitted, and the rest is known to all who lived thru the excitement of the forenoon till the Presi- 7 dent went up and sent every one down from the cupola, and gave the XYriglitonian Society permission to float their colors unmo- lested. :Xltho many of the best in school deplore the extent to which the color rushing was carried this year, still many will look back with fond memories to their experiences in connection with the sport.

Cbnum Flrin here were three boys in school, Who thought 'twould be quite gay For all to dress in caps and gowns, Upon commencenient day. Do you think that you could guess Who these three school boys were, If I should tell you why they did, Such a costume thus prefer? The first one thought that the cap and gown Idea was not bad, For if all purchased caps and gowns He'd get an INDEX Ad. The next one's reasons we would think, Would not come from a man of knowledge, It was because some wore them when They graduated from Smith College. The last one's reason is not clear, It couldn't be a sense of duty, -But perhaps because the garb would become, His clerical style of beauty. 1 ,A , ,A 9 . 1, 'W ' WW, I W-'Que nfl If ff- t I r 9, :qw 'T Elhp jlnhpx Page One Hundred Forty A Nutr nf Ehankn anh Apnlngg Perhaps you remember in days of yore, I needed a handkerchief one day very bad, But as I was almost a block from our door, You kindly loaned me the one you had.

But 'ere wash day was over she'd already forgot That very solemn promise I'd from her begot. So for days and days the 'kerchief lay 'round And could neither by me nor mother be found. At last, however-it again came to light, So I will return it, and save you the fright Of thinking you'd never receive it again, And in closing-I'll say-For it, I'm thankful-Amen.

Wfhere was an alarm clock to be found? lt perhaps wouldn't be needed for it was our first midnight feast, but we must be sure to get there. A search was made in some rooms and an old clock was found. There was a rush for our room-then all was silent, for the bell had rung for our lights to be out and talking' to stop. No alarm clock was needed because we couldn't go to sleep. .-Xt 12:15 we decided to start for the second floor-our room was on the first. Every board creaked and it seemed as if we had to pass every teacheris room. But we got there and the two girls were waiting for us. XVe were horrified when we hap- pened to think that the room we were in was over the President's. This changed our plans somewhat,-we decided a slumbering party would be more safe, so left our feast until morning. And then the pickles weren't half so sour, or the candy near so sweet as they would have been at midnight. XVe Freshies had heard about Thanksgiving at college and could hardly wait for the day to come. But perhaps it was the night before and the early morning which we were most anxious for. T om-the old negro-did not ring the rising bell that morning. The girls did this, and it was always a secret as to what two should ring it. Several girls were suspicioned so a number of us met in the library at 3 o'clock that morning. As usual, the boards creaked, but we were getting used to that. And it was strange that we could get up so early for we were never able to get to breakfast on time, especially if our shoes had to be buttoned. This morning no complaints were made. Everyone who was into our secret was there with a tin pan, bucket or horn. At 5 o'clock we could wait no longer-we'd just have to rouse the house--so up and down stairs and thru the halls we went and pandemonium reigned. XV e felt that perhaps we had made some enemies. . The Sing was over. It was next to the last night. VVe were thinking of home so couldnit sleep. lt was a hot night and to even hang one's head out of a window was a pleasure-we appreciated the little things. A man seldom passed our window, but to our horror, that night a man appeared there suddenly. Fright was our First feeling, but this turned to mischief. Vlfe hurried for our water pitcher and held it just outside of the win- dow. How could we spill the water most effectively. We de- cided to laugh. The plan worked beautifully. The man looked up and down poured the water. And Thanksgiving was the one day that we were allowed in that wonderful place-the kitchen. lt was such a busy day for the cooks and maids, for we had something to eat that day, so Page One Hundred Forty-five Elly gnhpx we were allowed to wash the dishes. I thought it would be a snap to wash the pitchers but after I had washed a water pitcher, milk pitcher, two cream pitchers, a hot water pitcher, and a coffee pot for each table--there were seventeen tables-I thought dif- ferently. It was a much better job to sweep the front walks. I wonder why ? I guess we all like April Fool. It was a terrible thing to be late for breakfast-why, if we were, we broke the star tablef, But we felt that the teachers needed some extra sleep, so at 3 o'clock on April Fool morning about 30 of us met in the li- brary-that secluded spot on the hrst floor. You would have thought we were going to tie something up, because every girl had a trunk rope or more than one if she were lucky. Two girls were assigned for most of the teachers. VVe started out for our places, tied slip-kots, slipped them over the door knobs and then tied the rope securely to something near. XV e thought Uwe had done it and so went back to bed to sleep peaceably and long. But that morning all the teachers were unusually active, and all, save one, to breakfast on time. Tom had not done his full duty, for, altho he had cut the ropes, he had failed to turn the key in that one teacher's door, and poor thing! she had to miss her breakfast. It was a beautiful spring night. The Choral Club had fin- ished practicing. It was a Romeo and Juliet scene. Juliet sat in her window dreaming, when around the corner came a man who she supposed was her Romeo. In her high piping voice she said, 4'Hello, old boy, itls a fine night, isnlt it P But Romeo was surely angry. He didn't answer, what was the matter? Yes, I believe he was angry, for in a few minutes he appeared at her door, the President-the 'fold boy. Commencement week had amost come. . NVe must have a ghost walk that night. I was alone, so hunted an alarm clock. The hour was set for IZ, the place-Music Hall, third Hoor. Oh, yes, I'd be there. The sheet and pillow case were on a chair. I lay down to sleep and I slept. The midnight walk came off. Ghosts were everywhere and disappeared mysteriously when the Preceptress appeared. At door after door she rapped-no re- sponse, Hnally a sleepy come inf' Investigations began with good results, twelve girls found in the one room under the beds, back of the dresser, in the dress boxes, in various places. A rap came to my door but there was no answer. In came the lady to call. I made no answer still. She shook me, she lighted the gas and shook me again. My answer was, Is it time ? She was ready to believe that I was innocent, but I would rather have lost my privileges than miss such a stroll. V Wfe decided that there was no better place for fun than a woman's college.

Every spring and fall a trip to Mackinaw Dells is taken by the members of the biology and physical geography classes. This spring was no exception. g The nine o'clock car to Bloomington was crowded with Nor- mal students, carrying lunch baskets, botany cans and pressing cases. .-X hum of merry talk and laughter filled the air. The party reached Lake Erie Station, only to find that there, too, Normal students predominated. It would not do to tell all of the jokes of the day, of how a new student with his large straw hat was mistaken for Mr. Coul- ter, or of how a few girls called Train's coming, and the whole company flocked out, only to find it was a false alarm, or, how, after the train had really come, and the party had started, Mr. Coulter lost his ticket, only to find it sometime later in a long for- gotten out-of-the-way pocket, or of the wedding party on the train, who left at Carlock, or the story of Mr. Coulter's belt, or of how many people one seat can hold. Some of the party rode on the back platform, and as we passed thru the small stations, gave our school songs and yells. Finally we reached the Dells. A few of the party hurried on, and when the rest reached the pavillion, they were received by the reception committee, composed of Misses Holland, Litt- winski, Reeder, and Felmley. The physical geography students, led by Mr. Ridgley, ex- plored the river to the north, while Mr. Coulter and his botany classes hunted. for specimens. The accidents were few. Some got into quicksand and sank a few Hfeet, but all were rescued without serious results. At twelve o'clock all returned to the pavillion for dinner. How much was eaten? Do not ask. Probably you have all been on picnics. After dinner, Mr. Ridgley took his classes on the long and toilsome journey to Cedar Bluff. The others went botanizing. Many rare QU specimens were discovered, and a favored few witnessed a snake eating its dinner. Some of the girls retired to a small stream to wade, but alas, they had not been there long until they were discovered. l , Emp gjnhpx Page One Hundred Fifty A small number of the girls spent their afternoon in Violet Hollow, and many were the lovely violets that were taken home with them that night. lt is needless to tell of the girls who lost their coca-nut, of the walk to Congerville by Mr. Coulter and two students, for a bat and baseball, how one girl got entangled in barbed wire and had to be rescued, and of the boat rides enjoyed by a few, for surely everyone has heard of it all. Late in the afternoon, all assembled at the pavilion to watch a baseball game played with the hard-earned ball and bat. Many fine QU plays were made. lt was a game to be proud of. At the close of the game, they climbed the long stairway to the plat- form, where the train stopped and took them on. The ride home, altho a merry one, was not as jolly as the one in the morning. At last they reached home, toil-worn, sun- burned and weary, but happy, with full botany cans and a warm spot in their hearts for Mackinaw Dells. i 1 I i h I I Page One Hundred Fifty-one why 31121935 Nairn nf El New-rnmer. AN INTERCEPTED LETTER NORMAL, ILL., May Io, 1907. DEAR CDLDTIMER-lXlOl'lllZ1l isn't exactly what we thought it might be. You must come over to see for yourself. As to what you will suv, that will speak for itself, and if you see the campus as it is this morning you may be a little more qualified next time in your description of raw, dingy, and dismal little prairie towns which you have not seen. I only hope you'll get over be- fore all the warblers have deserted the elms, and while the sweep of trees and grass down the campus-front is as pleasantly green as it was this morning an hour ago. But it is about what you will not sec that I am intending to write you, about what is a very real part, but which you have to be here weeks and months to appreciate properly. At least I had to be and I am not at all sure that I have this intangible part of the situation properly sized up yet. You may remember that among your other dismal and preju- diced prophecies you threw in one to the effect that you were will- ing to bet that within three months I'd be mighty sorry I came, va- rious and abundant reasons being supplied from your picturesque imagination under the stimulus of your misguided desire to- get me into that dollar-making business of yours. Now I remember thinking at the time that that might make a pretty even bet. lVhich only goes to show how much my judgment was warped at the time by your own attractive proposition. Your bet was a bad one. At the end of three months, instead of being tinged with sorrow, I found myself patting myself on the back for at least one sensible decision. Might write more to this effect, but there is one of the chaps in the magazines writing Adventures in Contentmentf' I-Ie has stolen my thunder. Vtfhat I like best is the way you get results for your work, thatls the intangible part of the situation to which I referred, and it's a thing I canit show you in a week's end visit. And I prob- ably can't describe it either to a man who doesn't give a hang whether there is a reformed Spelling Movement or whether there's not, so long as the market for traction bonds is right and telephone securities going at par. I recall that your principal argument against the 'fprofessor business, apart from the fact that it doesn't pay, was that pro- fessors are not really in the game. You called it a snug berth for mediocrity' You said that a real good professor could not be a real live man. I suppose it is my professional duty now to ' 2 1-.1 ' ' 1 if 1 I i I I I I 1 Qin? Eiltthpx Page One Hundred Fifty-two deny these things, and you will say that I am a prejudiced wit- ness. But what I am after is not that you should judge the pro- fessor business by some miscellaneous representatives of it whom you happen to know, including myself, but by the business itself, by what there is in it, or should be in it, by what it has a chance to do, even if it isn't always doing it, and especially at a place like Normal. Of course the teaching business, like any other, depends pri- marily upon its raw material, which is, in this case, students. You can't expect to get hne results with poor material, and, besides, poor material may injure your machinery. NVhen I think how some of our profs had to coddle and cajole some of us to get any- thing like real work in an antiquated college course which had no relation to the real, primary interests of our lives, I blush. And not so much for them as for us and the conditions under which they were working. It was like giving bad medicine to children. No wonder our old profs became a bit childlike As I look back now at the unfit pabulum which they were supposed to keep down upon our uneasy mental stomachs they seem to me more like nursemaids to a lot of badly brought up children. It isn't that way at Normal. You must have had some hint of it, for you called my prospective students thirsters,' and I remember now that's what we used to call the summer school crowd who came in to toil in the library and lecture rooms, while we played tennis and lo-afed around the campus and looked on rather contemptuously. vVell if it is for me, as a teacher now, to choose between such sophisticated and rather clever young men as we thought ourselves, and with whom most of our colleges are at least half filled today, and thirsters, then give me the thirsters every time. It's just because we have so many thirsters around the place that I am so well pleased. It is just because most of our students have such an insatiable thirst for knowledge that we can really see results, and know that they are results which will last, and for that reason we have to keep moving ourselves. We have mighty few students here who are here because their parents sent them. Most of them, I understand, are at their own expense, spending their own hard earned or borrowed dollars, and they want their moneyls worth. That's one reason why I feel that the teacher in a Normal School is in no sense 'cout of the game as a teacher in some of our colleges may be, if he is, then he ought not to be doing this work. These thirsters are here for a definite purposeg to get a certain mental equipment which will enable them to earn more. They go from here directly to their work and use what has been given them in hundreds of class rooms in the public schools of the state. l Page One Hundred Fifty-three E119 I-Unhpx It is a rather cliiferent thing, isnit it, from that classic college training which we knew, ancl concerning which we nourish af- fection ancl real sentiment, but whose bearing upon our post-gracl- uate activities we could not see at all then, and perhaps only climly now? This work at Normal succeecls or fails only as it is in real touch and part with social progress, only as it docs relate itself to the best thought going. No, I don't feel that I have been getting out of the game, as you thought I woulcl. I feel more convincecl that I am in a way to get a real place in it, a place on the team, and that the rest of it clepencls wholly upon myself. And I think that most of our young men and women feel that way about their work. I tell you, Oldtimer, the market for teachers is looking up. The time is slipping past when you men who are 'gcloing things are to count the teachers out from among your number.. The time is just about here in which the successful teacher will get a social rating just as high as the man with a pile, ancl it is just be- cause we think that our annual output here at Normal will earn the right to such rating that we find our work interesting and worth while. If we fail to get resultsf' which is the main thing, then we have ourselves to blame. Fraternally yours, NEWCOMER. l 1 Uhr Jnhvx Page One Hundred Fifty four Svvninxfa iKvurriv.

O! here I am-alas far away, But all my thoughts, Uh where are they? Here? No, no, no, but in Normal town, Wliere many fair damsels cast many a frown Upon the poor fellows who worship them there, And sigh for even a lock of their hair. Yet even this they never can get, For these maidens are sly and foxy, you bet, And delight in teasing these poor little men, CFor mere fun's sake, as far as I kenj And so it's with fear that I now take my pen, For I really do dread being squelched again. But just because it's St. Va1entine's Day, I've really got nerve enough to say, To all you maidens assembled here, CI'd like it if you'll let me to call you dearj I love you far more than tongue can tell, Let alone an old stub and an empty ink well. May I hope for more favors than the others get, May I hope in the seat of honor to set? Ah, if I could beat them all, James, Gresham, Guy, the short, the tall, The lean, the fat, the homely, the fair, Ah, wouldn't I then wear the Victor's air? But can I e'er hope to smash your dear hearts, Wliicli so often before Cupid's pricked with his darts? I remember the last time I saw Miss Lou, She was in front of Ward's grocery, Miss Anna was too They were both very much like a gooseberry tart, And I, alas, I was the true bleeding heart, Sweet as roses the two they were, But when they saw me each then was a burr That pricked my poor heart and made me so sad, That for nights I slept notg wasn't that too bad? And then once I went to a practice dance, And the music did surely their graces enhance, I saw the sweet Edith, and Sally, and Ruth, And Mildred and Charlotte,-I did of a truth,- Louise, too, was there and Alice, fair one, But when I asked for a dance, away she did run. I Went down the line,--each one did the same, Ah, not a true one, can I to you name. Well, I felt like swearing and my face was red, And my poor emotions were with remorse fed, So, I sat all alone, on the bench 'gainst the wall, And tried to look handsome, broad shouldered and tall But yet these maidens cast never a look, Page One Hundred Fifty-nine E119 Jjnhpx And sailed right by-with the partners they'd took. VVell, what could I hope for, when out on the floor, W'ere gallant and good looking youths, galore. Of course among them I had never a chance, And so I soon left the gay, brilliant dance, And went to my room, and then on my bed Lay down and wept tears from my poor aching head. Then came visions of you in your lovely ball gowns, More lovely by far than girls of most towns, And yet you had stung me with such a bad sting, And did'st my poor heart most cruelly wring, That I wished I might die, to know never more, The pain that is busy at Love's Bargain Store. But now with a new-born hope in my breast, I ask you to love, Oh, give pain a rest, And when next I see you on Park street or Loop, Pray do smile at me as I humbly stoop. And if I at society -should meet you Even thought he's along, won't you glance at me t And when I next ring at any of your front doors, Do give me more welcome than family snores. But now I will close with long-suppressed line, Oh, won't you please, dears, all be my Valentine? --- tv, rrjf' -1 - - oo? Efhp I-Unhpgg Page One Hundred Sixty Smith han an Idnivrutvm with ilivlmlvg. BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Special to THE INDEX I--NGIIIIGI' Smith nor Felmley will speak for publication. But I have talked quite freely with a num- ber of Smiths most confidential friends and have got together enuf things that he said that Felmley said to him to warrant the publication of the following private interview, at 4:30 P.lVI., on May the 2oth : XVell, Mr. Smith, how are affairs at El Paso ?', Fine, Pro- fessor, fine. Since I have been appointed superintendent of their schools I have been to see them several times and ...... 4 How do they treat you? Q, they are just as kind as they can be to me. It makes me think of Qld Pike. NVhen I tell them what a fine Basketball team I shall organize, and how much land I want for a school-garden, what a good manual-training shop I can start in the basement, what a saving on the pupils it will be when I have the teachers to teach the simplified spelling, they just smile and nod their heads as much as to say, 'He's going to do somethingf f'Yes that's all true, james. I knew you were the man for the place. I am glad you have the school so well organized for the coming year. You know I've said from the platform several times, 'XVell begun is half donef Since the work is so well be- gun, the school will be very easily managed next year, too easy in fact for one of your ability to .... XVhy, Yes, Professor, I had thought of that too. There is no use in my staying longer, any of the boys can run it now. I have just received a letter from the president of a school-board in the most aristocratic and exclusive part of New York City, asking for a superintendent. They will pay Szooo for the right man. Gee, but that's a good salary, and I need something like that too. But I think I can do the work. I am sure you can do the work. Their idea of the right man is one about twenty-five years old, who is handsome, has a noble head, and wears a dignified expression on his face. They want a social-leader, a polished gentleman. And you are the only one whom I feel safe in recommending, in fact you are the only polished gentleman in school or even the only one capa- ble of receiving a polish. Do you think I could get it?,' '6Yes, if you want it. Have you forgotten so soon who put you in at El Paso? You never could have been elected there without my say. I put you in there and Iill send you to- New York City if you wish to go. But before you decide, see Miss Geneva Ham, of Bloomington, and write and ask your mother. I must attend Faculty meeting nowf, By ...... but that's a fine job.' 1 ' I i r Page One Hundred Sixty-one r Quhrx 'V ' J 'Gfs 1, ji. .9 ' 1 ' Mx f '73 X mga? f WW tp 'fi TWAM ' 5' t,,...- ' ' -..I f.I:l' '-mv... - i Him. it Hr in ni im ff f 2' 1 --' M1 ---no u qu.. ,- i .

The other fEl0,000 will be used for other improvements that have long been needed. The most important of these perhaps is the installing of a clock in the belfry. This central clock system will also have an electric attachment whereby all the bells will be rung at the beginning and close of the recitation periods. The news of the appropriation was received with the greatest excitement on Thursday, May 30, at General Exercises. XVith the addition of another building the Normal University will be able to expand. The new building will house the manual train- ing department, the art department, and the chemical laboratory. .X domestic science department will be put in operation, and the lower lloor will be an auditorium to seat about I000 people. This latter improvement is one of the most important. The present Normal Hall does not accommodate the audience as it should. It is on the third Hoor of the main building and wholly unfit for the purpose for which it has been necessary to use it. Again, the stage is small, which makes the presentation of plays by the stu- dents, a hardship. This new building will properly equip the University with facilities for providing the courses so long needed. It will relieve the cramped condition that now exists thruout the school. NVhere the building will be placed or when it will be finished have not been decided upon. XV e now have the appropriation and President Felmley will attend to the details of construction.
