THE 1 9 1 5 WESLEYANAM WESLEYANAS OF THE PAST This brief article is intended to preserve a few essential facts concerning the past history of the Wesleyana. It is not intended to he a complete index to the many clever articles which have appeared in successive years, nor does it give a complete list of contributors. College journalism had attracted many students at the Wesleyan, long before any yea.r book was thought of. At one time, when the feeling between the Greeks and Barbarians had become intense, there were rival organs published, and deep interest was manifested in the skillful ilaying of rival partisans through the col- umns of the journals devoted to the respective interests. The first Wesleyana was published in the spring of 1805, upon the individual responsibility of W. B. Merrill, 795, a member of Phi Delta Theta, R. H. Schuctt, '95, of Sigma Chi, and A. L. Wood, 596, of Phi Gannna Delta. A rumor was cur- rent in years following that each of these young men paid S5150 for this splendid manifestation of enterprising college spirit3 for the work was most creditable. It was a bound volume of 288 pages, each page eight by eleven inches, printed on fine calendered. paper, and liberally illustrated. The managing editors 'were assisted by more than a score ol' contributors, many of whom have since become well known. This first annual was dedicated to the trustees, faculty, students, and friends of the Illinois Wesleyan University, but above all to the Ca.p and Gown Class olf 1895. Those interested may sec a photograph of this brilliant class in the mathe- matics room.
