PQ PQ PQ m jforeVDorti, I F LATE years it has been the purpose of the Junior classes to annually publish a book giving their impressions of student life; and we beg to plead that like our pre- decessors we are only human. Our endeavor has been to tell this history in song and story, in prose and poetry — at times in jest but more often in earnest — with something of our trials and triumphs, of our deeds and ultimate place in college annals, judgrrent on all happenings and personages as they appear to the Wussuck- whoucks. It may have happened that expression is given only to those things of present interest — the objects, incidents and fancies our tribe has learned to love; and that those associations of by-gone days which the Alumni are ac- customed to recall in leisure m.oments, amidst the sweetened recollections of the twilight hour, are ignored or forgotten. If so, this is to be regretted. But no matter — in making permanent one period of college experience, we have builded for the future. To the following classes we leave this heritage; for ourselves we reserve the satisfaction of having fashioned after our own minds a picture of our Alma Mater that we hope will stimulate student loyalty and bring to a newer appreciation her lasting influences. We desire here to make acknowledgements to Mr. Will H. Ogilvie for his excellent literary contributions; to the Native for a prose article that speaks in its own peculiar way, and to Mr. C. E. Gray for his exceptionally artistic view of the Campanile, all of which add greatly to the worth of this publication. . WFP? Xk ir ' ' ' ,ri; i. ' iii ' Sii! ' II I ;,; ' ' i I.

W— ' EKMAN KNAPP was born at Poultney, Rutland Mf County, Vermont, December 28, 1 863. His father was ■ H vice-president of the Troy Conference Academy until 1 866 J W when ill health drove him westward to Iowa. After three ' x years of farm life he was elected principal of the State Col- lege for the Blind and in February, I 880, he assumed the duties of Professor of Agriculture at the Iowa Agricultural College. Herman entered the college in the same year and graduated with honors in ' 83. He became at once deputy treasurer of the college and in the follow- ing year was made Assistant Professor of Agriculture. He had full charge of the department in 1886. In 1887 he became treasurer and land agent of the college. The mere enumeration of the ciuties which have fallen upon his shoulders since then shows how intimately he has been identified with the college in its every interest. Besides being treasurer and registrar he is Lecturer on Accounts, member of the Purchasing Committee, Superintendent of the College Book Store, chairm.an of the College Catalogue Committee, Secretary of the Faculty, member of the Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A., Treasurer of the Building Committee of Alumni Hall and Treasurer of the Alumni Association. Prof Knapp ' s worth has been recognized outside of college circles also. He is a leading citizen of Awes and has been honored with many positions of trust in city affairs. He is a member of the School Board and Library Board of the city of Ames and has recently been chosen captain of the local militia company. He has also been honored with the Presidency of the Sons of the American Revolution. In I 885 Professor Knapp was m.arried to Mary W. McDonald of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, who was also a member of the class of ' 83. They have a beautiful home upon the campus and have a happy family of four children, two boys and two girls. The Knapps are greatly beloved by faculty and students alike and the dedication of this work to Professor Knapp is a well merited honor and a fitting tribute to the worth of a noble manhood.

Cf)e ilegenti of tf)e Kl ussucfetDfjoucfes. r NE morning, when the old men of the Mewasems awoke, they beheld a sight which filled their hearts with fear. The bluffs over against the Squaw were covered with a host of strange tepees. It was about the ninth moon and they thought it might be some roving band or perhaps a strong hunting party ; but soon their scouts returned and reported that the warriors were as the leaves of the forest and their faces were covered with war paint. Then were the Mewasems indeed fearful for their young men were few and their old men feeble, so they dared not do battle with the intrud- ers. Then they called their braves together into the council chamber that they might advise each other. One after another their old men and chiefs arose and declared that it would be better to make peace with the new comers, if possible, than to make war and be exterminated. So the head chief of the Mewasems advanced ' till within a hundred steps of the tepees, then laid down his weapons and walked toward the council house of the strangers. A lone, unarm;ed chief advanced to meet him, and the Mewasem spoke. — Chief! Many moons have we dwelt along the Squaw. Our young men have hunted the deer along its banks. Our young women have watched the moon as it slept on the bosom of the waters, and all was well. Our young men are strong and powerful and their weapons sharp; but we do not wish to harm you; you shall make this your home. We will live in peace with you, you shall be our brothers the Wussuckwhoucks ! The chief of the Wussuckwhoucks replied, — Our young men are as the stars in the heavens. They are strong and swift and many scalps hang in their wigwams. There are none we fear, but it shall be as you have said. Your Gods shall be our Gods. Our young men and your young men shall hunt the deer together, and they shall be as brothers. I have spoken. Then was there great rejoicing and feasting in the tents of the Mewasems, for they had greatly feared the strangers and their hearts were glad again. For a time the young men of the Wussuckwhoucks roamed through the forest and pursued the gam.e which abounded there and many were the deer which fell victims to their arrows. Now and then a warrior returned with the scalp of an enemy who had disputed his path, but they went not upon the war-path. Now the old men of the Mewasems boasted of the strength and swiftness of their young men; how they were cunning as the foxes, and in endurance like unto the wind. One day out of the pride of their hearts they invited the Wussuckwhoucks to a friendly trial of skill and strength. Gladly the Wussuckwhoucks accepted, and began to train their warriors for the contest that they might show to their elder brothers their speed and endurance. Belts made of finest deerskin and wampum were to be given to the victors and the young women spent many days in mak- ing these. The Mewasems scorned to train their runners, thinking it impossible that their young brothers were able to overcome them. Great was their surprise when they found the Wussuckwhoucks had so many men for each race that they were forced to draw lots among themselves; while the Mewasems had but a few who were swift enough to enter the contest. The hearts of the Mewasems were sad when they saw this, but they boasted that a handful of their braves could defeat a multitude of their brothers. As the games went on and they found that their young brothers were stronger and swifter than they their hearts became very bitter. When the games were over and the Wussuckwhoucks had carried away most of wam- pum belts, the Mewasems went sullenly back to their wigwams; and there was hale in their hearts against their brothers, the Wussuckwhoucks. In the tents of the victors, however, the feasting and dancing continued, for their hearts were glad, but the Mewasems be- came more sullen and their hearts more bitter against their brothers. Now the Mewasems kept great herds of ponies with which to fol- low the chase for they were not strong enough to. follow on foot. Then they began to miss some of them; in their hearts they blamed the Wussuckwhoucks, though well they knew that a tribe called the Professors had captured them. About two moons later the snows came and the game went farther south. In the tents of the Wussuckwhoucks there was plenty for they had guarded well against the snows and had great stores of corn and venison. In the spring when the rains came and carried away the snow, and the birds carre back to sing, the hearts of the Wussuckwhoucks were glad for they were strong and well. Not Eo the Mewasems, their hearts were heavy and their faces sad for they had not fared well. And when the Wussuckwho- ucks and their kindred tribes the haughty Katinas and the powerful Sicemakas invited the Mewasems to take part in :: the grand games they found they would be utterly unable to win. Now the Wussuckwhoucks, seeing that the hearts of the Mewasems were sad, sought to pacify them by a great feast given in their honor, but to no avail. The Mewasems, having eaten, went back to their wigwams to nurse their wrath in secret. After a while when the sun became thirsty and drank up the waters of the Squaw, so that the deer came no more to its banks to drink, the Wussuck- whoucks went north on a great hunt and left only a few of their old men to guard their wigwams. In the fall when the Wussuckwhoucks returned to their home on the Squaw several of the strongest warriors of the Mewasems re- turned with them and went not back to the tents of their people. Upon their arrival, the Wussouckwhoucks found that their kinsmen the Katinas had taken the trail toward the setting sun and had not returned. Also the Mewasems had gathered together a few broken families and roving bands. They named them the Witaxaquoias, and adopted them; hoping to upbuild their own tribe. Although the Witaxaquoias were stronger than the Mewasems, they were no match for the powerful Wussuckwhoucks who de- feated them easily in a friendly trial of strength and skill. Now the Wussuckwhoucks having their wigwams full of game and corn began to long for something to do ; so when their friends, the Sicemakas from the head waters of the Squaw, told them of the new game of football, they rejoiced greatly and set about to learn the game. They easily defeated the young Witaxaquoias and then challenged the Mewasems who had long been practicing in secret in the hope that they might be able to overcome their stronger brothers; but on the day set for the game the Mewasems plead that their war- riors were away on a hunt and could not play. The Wussuckwhoucks were generous. They would not compel their brothers if they were not ready. Some days later, the Mewasem hunters returned and their old men said they were ready. Meanwhile a pestilence had stricken the Wussuckwhoucks and many of their warriors were sick. The Mewasems, though, complained that the snows might come again and the Wussuckwhoucks crippled as they were, went forth to meet them. All afternoon the game went on, and when the Great Spirit hid the sun the Mewasems had been unable to overcome the crippled Wussuckwhoucks. But as a drowning man sees a bubble and takes heart again so the Mewasems sang their own praises. They had been un- able to conquer but had themselves not aeen overrun and their hearts were glad for men could not say they were defeated. Loudly they sang of their own strength and cunning and how they had conquered. They made themselves belts of skins and wampum and rejoiced among themselves. The snows came again and the Wussuck- whoucks, their wigwams filled with plenty, basked by the fires and listened to the old men sing the songs and recount the traditions of their tribe. When the Great Spirit again gave the sun power over the snows, the Wussuckwhoucks went abroad with happy hearts for they were happiest when hunting or fishing. In the spring when the young Witaxaquoias feasted the Wussuckwho- ucks, the Mewasems being hungry and famishing thought to disguise them- selves as Wussuckwhoucks and come to the feast. Their wan and sorrowful faces betrayed them, however, and they were thrown into the outer darkness and departed wailing and gnashing their teeth. Then their hearts became bitter at their young friends the Witaxaquoias for they had been disgraced and for a time they kept apart from all the tribes. When the great field games were held and the powerful Sicemakas came down to enter, the Mewasems were unable to win a single belt. Their runners were outclassed in every way and seemed as children in the presence of men. Then again the river lost itself in the north and no water came down to refresh the Wussuckwhoucks. So they bade farewell to their friends the Sicemakas who were preparing to take the great trail toward the mountains and went north that they might not be burned by the power of the sun. When the cool rains came again in the fall they came back to gather in their ripened corn. They brought with them a young tribe called the Honnetgades, meaning the Nume rous Ones, which they had discovered in the deep forests of the north where few had ever been. These they conquered, then adopted and brought with them. When the Wilaxaquoias wished to take the Honnetgades for slaves the Wussuckwhoucks taught them how to withstand the bhster-board, how to use the paint brush and how to fight with barrel-staves; so that in a short time they were able to overcome the Witaxaquoias. The Honnetgades soon learned how to play football. They took great pride in their own strength and skill, and soon became so swift and strong they were easily enabled to defeat the Witaxaquoias. The Wussuckwhoucks again challenged the Mewasems and they dared not refuse to play. Fear was written on the faces of the Mewasems when they saw the lithe, powerful young iren of the Wussuckwhoucks ready to rreet them. Well had they feared for thirteen times were they trampled upon and irade to bow down in defeat before their old men cried Enough! Then were they sad indeed for their vaunted victory was as nothing and all men saw them as they were. Now the Wussuckwhoucks know- ing that the hearts of the Mewasem.s were bitter against them, sought to make peace with their brothers. They invited them to a friendly feast and dance and .=ent their young men to bring the young women to the feast. But the old men of the Mewasems complained that their traditions bade the young woiren seek the young men and they said they could not partake. The Wussuckwhoucks replied, Our young men will accom- pany our young women. If you cannot come we are sorry. The feast is ready. We shall eat! Then the Mewasems buried their traditions and came for they were very hungry. When the spring came the old men of the Mewasems sought their young men that they might look upon their youth and strength and their own hearts be renewed. But it was not to be. There were none to be found. Then a great council was called and the old men asked each other, Where are our young men? Why is it that they come not back to their tepees? Then an old chief arose, looked sadly around the circle and spoke: Men of the Mewasems; my heart is sad as I look around on the faces of my people, I see many whose heads are streaked with snow. They are crafty and cunning and our medicine men fire wise, but the faces of our young men are not here. Some have gone away into the great forest and have not returned, some have been taken into the tribe of the Wussuckvv ' houcks and the Great Spirit has called some to the Happy Hunting Grounds. There was a lime when our people were strong and mighty and the war cry of the Mewasems sent fear to the hearts of their enemies. Our nation was as the sun at its height; none dared face it. But even as the sun is driven across the sky and darkened by the Great Spirit so has our splendor waned. Even now the Wussuck- whoucks are beginning to pitch their wigwams where the tents of our people stood. They feel that our hearts are bitter against them. So let us ask them to a grand feast and pass the pipe of peace among them that they may think of us as friends. Then when the tribes go north let us strike the trail toward the setting sun that we come not oack again lest we be driven in disgrace from the graves of our fathers. The old men listened in silence for they knew that the chief spoke the truth. They could not resist the Wussuckwhoucks and none rose to dispute him. When the coo-stick was passed among them none was found to strike it on the ground. Then they invited the Wussuckwhoucks to a feast and passed the pipe of peace among them so that all smoked it and the hearts of the Wussuckwhoucks and Mewasems became warm toward each other again. After this the Mewasems began to prepare for their departure that they might take the western trail never to return for they had at last learned the strength of the powerful and victorious Wussuckwho- ucks. 9[ti)letic JHanagement, Few students go through school without be- coming more or less deeply interested in college athletics. But, although the teams are enthusi- astically supported by a loyal crowd, little thought is given to the management, upon which a great deal of the success of athletics depends. It is generally vaguely known that the athletic council is the controlling force, but few know how this body is organized or what it does. The object of the athletic council is to pro- mote and control athletics. It is composed of one man from each class, who is elected for one year, four members from the faculty, two mem- bers from the alumni and two members from the town of Ames. The president of the college and the general manager and secre- tary are ex-officio members of the association. The general athletic man- ager and the managers of the various teams are elected by the council and, through them the council keeps track of the time, pla ce, score and expense of each contest and the names of the contestants. To the general manager. Prof. Beyer, is due a great deal of the success of the financial end of athletics. The awarding of the honor A is one of the special duties of the coun- cil and such award is governed by the following rules in Article 1 5 of the constitution : Any candidate who shall attain eminence in any department of athletics, shall be considered eligible to the award of the letter A provided. That he shall have the unanimous endorsement of his manager, coach and captain and provided, that he shall meet the following requirements: FOOTBALL. Anyone playing in one-half or more, of at least two. and winning one, of the following games: U. of Iowa, Minn., Neb., Drake, Grinnell, or schools of equal grade. BASE BALL. Anyone playing seven or more innings, in at least four, and winning two of the following games: U. of Iowa, Minn., Neb., Kan., 111., Chicago, Drake, Grinnell or schools of equivalent grade. I TRACK. Anyone winning one or more points in the I. S. C. A. A. or two points in two dual meets with the following: U. of Iowa, Grinnell, or schools of equiv- alent grade. TENNIS. Anyone winning one Inter-Collegiate Tennis tournament, or two or more dual meets in either singles or doubles, in meets with Iowa, Grinnell, Drake, or schools of equivalent grade. The awarding of the A is entirely at the pleasure of the council and all recommendations may be waived, should the candidate in their judgment fail to merit the distinction. Basetall. ' 05. The base ball enthusiasts were greatly elated last spring over the bright outlook for a most inter- esting and successful season. If the team had again carried off state honors, the longed for Silver Bat would have been ours. With Yank in the box and nearly every old man back, prospects were good. Every afternoon saw the candidates working hard in the new shed, and good weather made possible very early outdoor practice. Dad Green took the men in charge in April and before half of the early season practice games were com- pleted the team played in fine form. Clouds gathered in the base ball sky quite early in the season. At the first meeting of the managers on Feb. 25, Iowa suggested adopting conference rules, which prohibited professionalism of any kind. The State regulations allowed Summer ball and every college team was made up more or less of men, who had played in some minor league. In a late meeting Iowa said she would withdraw, if Capt Brown were allowed to play. Several of the Iowa men had been protested on the same grounds, but their plea was that nien such asYessier who only played forMarshalltown in the Iowa League were not classed with Brown who could be drafted into a major league. He was too big. Cornell then stood with Iowa and withdrew from the league, leaving Grinnell and Ames alone to fight for the championship. The Iowa manage- ment, it is believed, were sincere in their efforts to clean up athletics, but it is best to start at home. Some of the Ames men had played summer ball and had admitted it, for there was nothing in the rules prohibiting it, while Iowa men played for money, but would not confess it. The withdrawal of Iowa and Cornell lessened competition so much, that a great deal of interest in the game was lost, for both player and fans. The real strength of the team was shown, when Ames met and defeated the strong Nebraska nine, in an almost errorless game. Capt. Brown ' s sickness kept him from nearly all of the important contests, which of course was a most serious loss, but he was ably replaced by Monk and Reilly. The final game with Grinnell, when Ames met defeat, brought great disappointment to the Ames camp, for it meant a season to be settled this spring. BaseMl ct)etiule 1905.

Class 98aset)all 1905, 9 0 HE class base ball games of the season of 1905 were played r ' X without any great demonstration, but for the fans the contests 1 I for championship were full of interest and excitement. This was especially true because the teams were all composed of M practically untried material and in no instance was a game won before it was played. In the first game the Seniors crossed bats with the Juniors. The score ran high on both sides, the final tally showing the Juniors to be in the lead. The contest between the Sophomores and the Freshmen eliminated the former from the race, for, with the loss of their captain they were unable to do more than hold the score to a low figure. The final contest brought to a climax the interest of the four classes. The Juniors worked hard to block the fast, consistant game of the Freshmen, but the youngsters were too active for their older brothers. They won the game easily and the ' 06 ' s, champions of the year before, were compelled to surrender the championship of ' 05 to the deserving ' 08 ' s. MANAGER BASEBALL ' 05. Prominent among the men who have aided in placing athletics in the college upon a sound basis, financially and otherwise, stands H. F. Anthony. Mike, as he is commonly known, first became identified with college athletics in the memorable fight between the Katinas and Sicemakas. Here he took such an active part that it became necessary for the Katina braves to transport him to Nevada. In I 904 he was elected assistant baseball manager and in 1 905 the_ entire management was placed into his hands. Owing to the un- fortunate circumstances which caused the dis- ruption of the Big Four League and the con- sequent slump in baseball, the good work which he did was more or less obscured. He was capable and energetic and his inspiring genius and optimism were reflected to both the team and its supporters. Crack Reason, 0S, Athletics for the spring semester of ' 05 opened with a great deal of interest centering in the track squad. Enthusiasm ran high, not because of any abundance of old and tried material, but be- cause of the bright prospects with a wealth of new men under Jack Watson ' s charge. The work began in the new shed, which proved to be rather cramped quarters for the hundred and fifty men in training. Rivalry was keen among the men and interest never waned, even after the Varsity had been selected. This resulted in a well-balanced, strong team with no outstanding stars. Jack deserves much credit for his capable handling of so large a bunch of men and those who understand conditions know that it was through no fault of his that the final outcome of the season was not what we expected. The team was made up largely of old material, but in every even good new men were ready to replace the Regulars and these should this year develop into winners. The work of Beard, Williams, and Curtis deserves special men- tion. Never before has Ames had a more all- around, well-conditioned and trained team, and loo much glory can not be given the men for their earnest effort and determined spirit. The result of consistent training was shown in the dual meets. Ames met and defeated Drake on the State Field by a score of 96 to 40, and then defeated the State University men on their own grounds by a score of 7] to 61 J. In these meets not a few State records were equaled and surpassed and new college records were established. Al- though Ames had shown her real merit in these contests luck turned the tables at the State meet and the championship went to S. U. I. THE VARSITY ■■THE.FAITHFULS JE. 1 lEartien. Red ' s athletic history is well known. His ability and judgment at end saved I. S. C. from defeat in many hard fought games. The fact that he made the All Iowa team in 1904, makes further comment unnecessary. As track team manager in 1905, his cool enthusiasm and perseverance had miuch to do with the season ' s success. He filled his im- portant office to the satisfaction of both coach and men. If his ambition as manager could be expressed, it would be, I. S. C. at the Top. ' J-ii«. Wol aor; £ -«.e T7S o j J or is ,P=v Z - -«. C()e flome jHeet. J S Home Meet at I. S. C. is the culmination of what is dls- r tinctly known as the class track season. Prior to this time, fl I in fact extending back to a few days after the preceding J home meet, one might be justified in saying that the differ- ent classes were keeping tab on their various men, for pos- sible point winners in the succeeding year. The season of 1 905 opened with each class feeling that they would be There with the goods; but at the same time wondering just what the other fellows had up their sleeves. The ' OS ' s, stinging from defeat at the hands of the ' 07 ' s the fall before were rampant and anxious for the tim.e to come when they could be avenged. The ' 07 ' s casting anxious glances at the Silver Cup began a systematic endeavor to land it in their camp. The ' 06 ' s at this particular stage of the game, with their usual consistency and conservatism were making no rash estimates. They mysteriously said that they were not given to letting their right hand know what the left was doing, but as a quietus gave out the impression that some dark horses were to be sprung v. ' hen the oroper time should come. The ' 05 ' s, with their Senior dignity con- descended to lower their sights just a little to see if anv one had the audacity to dispute the title which they had so successfully defended in the past two years. The time rapidly passed and the day of final reckoning came. There were no visible changes save that the Freshmen became more rampant; the Sophomores more coveteous; the Juniors more mysterious and the Seniors more dignified. But why should we waste words on description. From the first crack of the starter ' s pistol, until the last tape was breasted, there was a series of surprises which showed that our trainer had been doing things with his men. At no time was the cup lost or won until the verv last points were given in. When the final tally was made, the Seniors had successfully de- fended their title, outstripping the Sophomores at the very last, while the Freshmen, with the spirit of desperation, all but closed the gap between them and second place.

S. C. to allow each member of a class to wear the class numeral, after the first term of the Sophomore year. This system was good so far as it went, but it provided for no special monogram or numeral for class members who are prominent in athletics. The ' 07 class realizing that it was high .time to make a much needed change, adopted a new system, which still allows every classified ' 07 to wear the regular 1907, but reserves the privilege of wearing the large ' 07 to those who fill the follow- ing requirements: I. Football. — Anyone playing on the ' Varsity squad or Reserves, or playing on a championship class team. II. Base Ball. — Anyone playing on the ' Varsity squad or scrubs, or playing on a championship class team. III. Track. — Anyone competing in any inter-collegiate, dual or state meet or winning a point in the annual home meet. IV. Tennis. — Anyone playing in an inter-collegiate tennis tourna- ment, or winning in any inter-class tournament. V. Basketball. — Anyone playing in any inter-class game of basket- ball. This new system was put into effect by the ' 07 class in the spring of ' 04 and has proved very successful. The other classes have adopted the same requireirents and the custom of awarding athletic honor numerals will no doubt remain fixed. ome iHeet ' : :: prins, 1906.

In addi- tion to the students who enjoy handling the racket, a number of the faculty are ardent lovers of the sport. The college was represented last year in the inter-collegiate games by Edgar AX . Stanton, Jr., in the singles and by Frank Cessna and Stanton in the doubles. Four tournaments were played ' . ith Simpson, two with Grinnell, onj with Des Moines College, and one witi the University. The college won in botli singles and douales in ail of these contests except in the one with the University. The score in this tournament stood as follows: Singles — S. U. I. vs. I. S. C. 3-6; 6-4; 7-5. Doubles— S. U. I. vs. I. S. C, 64; 6-4. In the State Tournament the college was victorious over other competitors but was again defeated by the University, losing the singles, however, only after a long and close contest. Thus far this school year, Ames has played four inter-collegiate tourna- ments two with Simpson College, and two with Coe. In the first tournament Ames was represented by Stanton in singles and by Stanton and C. C. Van Marter in doubles. In the second, third and fourth tournaments. VanMarter was replaced by E. A. Sayre. Sayre also played singles. The College won easily in all these contests. It is the hope of the tennis enthusiasts, as it is of the college as a whole, that a team may be developed this spring which shall win additional honors in inter-collegiate tennis contests. 1 905 i arsit . At the beginning of the football season the prospects for a winning team were the brightest in years. Notwithstanding the fact that seven regu- lar players had graduated and that this was the first year of the Freshman rule, Ames expected a wealth of material for her Varsity. 1 he first week of school brought many dis- appointments, Tedrick, Watts, Thompson, Ly- man, Dunn, and Hoffman failed to return. Fol- lowing this the disqualification of Jeanson, of whom much had been expected, placed Ristine face to face with the most difficult problem he had ever encountered while at I. S. C. — namely, the breaking in and training of a team composed al- most entirely of new men. As was expected the game with Minnesota brought defeat out the next few ensuing games proved to be easy victories for Ames. As a result of these victories hope ran high in the Ames camp in anticipation of the Nebraska game, for it was thought that this game would in some way indicate the true worth of the Cyclones. However inclement wea.ther and a wretched field conspired to make the game really indicative of nothing as far as the merit of the team was concerned. Following the Nebraska game came the games with Grinnell and Coe, both of which were won by time, and both of which proved rather a disappointment to the support- ers and coaches in that Ames did not play in the form which would give rise to hopes of victory or even a low score in the Iowa game. Now came the crowning event of the football season — the game with Iowa — acknowledged by all to have been the greatest gridiron battle ever fought in the state. Although greatly outweighed and with but a slender hope of victory, the fighting spirit of the m.en enabled them to with- stand the fierce onslought of brawn and weight of their opponents in a way which brought joy to the heart of every rooter. Although defeated, Ames could not have been more proud of her Varsity if they had been victorious. By defeating Drake on Thanksgiving day Iowa State College secured second place in the state championship race. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Ristine for the showing made by the Cyclones during the fall of ' 05. Every Ames man has full confidence in him, and on account of the difficulties surmounted, it can truly be said that this was Ristine ' s most successful year. We are all looking for- ward to the season of ' 06 when we are sure Shady will place the cardinal and gold as the first team in Iowa. 1 905 tf)ftiulr. September 30 — I. S.

V hen in lur memories we witness again the games and praise the veterans of the past season, let us not pass too lightly the hard but qSnt work of the manager. It is he who usually receives the complaints and withstands the attacks of the d ' s- fatisfied few, but seldom, if ever, does he receive a word of praise or thanks. The manager is the nan who arranges the games, puts the field in order, cares for the financial side of athletics. It is to him that m uch of the success of the season is due. Bill Elwood has been connected with the m.anagemient of football for the past three years made an enviable record in this capacity. It is rumored that Bill ' in a track suit when a Freshie, trying vainly to win honors. He was born to be a manager and found his place early. When a Soph he was elected assistant m anager taking full control in his Junior and Senior years. Last year the schedule was one of the best Ames has ever had and from, the standpoint of the manager the past two seasons have been very successful. Watson (rra; ' «(? -) Mill.

' Too much praise cannot be given to the work of our Varsity last fall, but when we go farther back, when the finished product resolves itself into elemental causes, prominent in the foreground lies the work of the Scrubs. These fellows daily withstand the attacks of the regulars, receive their portion of criticism and patiently toil on in the hope of ultimately winning an A . Too much can- not be said in regard to their faithful and persever- ing work. The fall of 1905 brought forth a squad of men for the reserves stronger by far than any in recent years. Two or three high school stars, some class team material from the previous fall and a few of the men, large of body and earnest of pur- pose who ultimately developed into our best material ; gathered together for the first month ' s practice. They met the Drake Ducklings on the first Excursion Day and although outplaying them were unable to prevent the final result 0-0. Later on in the season by a mistaken signal they defeated the strong Ida Grove High School team, champions of the state, by a score of 11-6. A few weeks later 6-0 expressed the ratio of efficiency between our own team and Ellsworth college. But, the crowning glory of the already successful season came when the vaunted Hawkeye scrubs, in spite of their dope of two hun- dred pound linemen and whirl- wind full back, were ignommi- ously defeated, 1 7-6. This strength was undoubt- edly due to the application of the Freshman Rule. The men trained faithfully with no hope whatever of being taken over, and to them is due the full nr.easure of credit. When the yells are given for the Varsity, let the meaning reach farther back to the scrub and give cause for a fuller and better Ames Spirit.

In the first game of the series, the confident ' 06 ' s ran up against the de- termined ' 07 ' s and the ' 06 ' s were put to flight by the score of 1 3 to 0, — the ' 06 ' s being so used to receiving that they took it in the very matter of fact way which was so much in keeping with their senior dignity. ' 09 defeated her rival ' 08, by the score of 25 to 0. The last game of the series to decide the class supremancy was between the ' 07 ' s and ' 09 ' s. Both classes claimed a most mighty team of warriors. This ganne was one of the most interesting and heart breaking contests viewed on the State Field last fall. Up to within the last three minutes of play the score stood 6 to 5 in favor of the ' 07 ' s. Then Heggin, ' 09 ' s quarterback, made a place kick from the field and won the game and class championship by the score of 9 to 6. A HOWLING SUCCESS •06 -A-MEN •07 A MEN ■ THLETICS, among the young ladies at I. S. C. is pro- M_ _ _H moted and controlled by an athletic association. Miss Til- H den, the president, coaches the teams and- has general charge n H of the various lines of work, while the other officers and • - members are supposed to arouse interest and enthusiasm. Last year interest in tennis seemed to be revived to some extent for a number of local contests were held and the Missss Gabrielson and Anderson went to Simpson for an Inter-collegiate contest. Owing to continued bad weather the games could not be played and no others were arranged for. Basketball was entirely dropped, for some unknown reason, although some inter-class contests had been arranged. The new game of hockey attracted some real interest. Fifteen or twenty of the Crushers and Rushers were out on the campus every practice night, working in a most strenuous manner. The few games that were played were interesting and lively and it is hoped, that more may be done in the future, not only in hockey, but in the other lines of girls athletics. a V si lavtivwM ■ ■ ' ' ft- ir.:aKj m i8ari)flor.

S. C. I One Monday night in November, 1 868, a meeting was called to consider the formation of a literary society. Pro- fessor Townsend of the Agricultural Department acted as chairman. The only thing done at this meeting was to appoint a committee of three, composed of Thompson, Mullen, and Talbot, all of the class of ' 76, to draw up a constitution. Another meeting was held the following Saturday, when the constitution was adopted, and permanent officers elected. For two years, the society met in the old college chapel. Then they moved to the Freshman room. The burning of the north wing of the old main, forced the society to move into Professor Stanton ' s recitation room. In less than two years they were forced to move again, and for three years, they met in the old dining room in Margaret Hall. At the present time, they meet in Engineering Hall, but hope to soon be at home permanently in the new Central Building. Though the locations of the Philomatheons have been various and un- favorable for the past few years, they have been unwavering in their support of literary interests. This is the society which is known as having all star programs every meeting. Crescent ORGANIZED 1870 As unto the bow the cord i So unto the man is woman. — Longfellow, ® Crescents.

With the passing of the years new chapters have Deen added to the list; more than a half score of them. The members of tnese chapters east and west, north and south, are strong, enthusiastic fellows, who are unreservedly devoted to all things which make for world-wide agricultural progress. Alpha Zeta men are young, their fraternity is young; but her members who have gone forth from college halls are even now found in the front rank of agricultural workers; in the bureaus of the Department of Agriculture, in our agricultural colleges and experiment stations, in editorial chairs, on well managed farms, they stand for progress and earnest endeavor. The training and symmetrical development of this class of agricultural workers is in truth the mission of every chapter of Alpha Zeta. No organiza- tion among college men could have a more exalted or nobler mission. Fraternities stand for different ideals; one stands for athletics, another for good fellowship and social enterprise, a third for excellence in scholarship. Alpha Zeta places emphasis upon the fact that a full-rounded fraternity standard cannot be founded upon any one, or even two of these lines of activity ; there must be built into such a standard all that is true and good and ennobling in all of these various lines of college work and college play. The members of Alpha Zeta are earnestly endeavoring to upbuild a unique fraternity; an earnest group of agricultural fellows, who are banded together for the purpose of man-building and who are forever mindful of the fact that this end is most easily achieved by enlisting all of those forces and accessories which develop a wholesome, sympathetic, all-round man. — W.

Died October 8, 1905, at his home in New York City. Cributes aib to ©eo. M. Catt p 3. ib. C. jfacultp. R. G. W. CATT entered the Iowa State College in 1879 as a student in Civil Engineering, graduated B. C. E. in 1882. In common with many another before and since, he worked his way through college by doing janitor work and other chores. He was thus employed up to his graduation. He was not long in securing work in his profession, and ultimately be- came President and Consulting Engineer for the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co., a corporation engaged in harbor improvements, dredging, etc. In 1902 the company had contract work in hand to the value of $6,000,000. Mr. Catt was also Consulting Engineer for the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Co. of Seattle. The characteristics which won him success were business and engineering ability, tact, and honesty beyond suspicion. He evidently appreciated this value of technical education, aecause his staff was recruited largely from the engineering schools, including his own Alm.a Mater. Although a very active man and in charge of large interests, he always had time for his friends and time to make acquaintances. His death, while yet in the prime of life, is untimely for the profession to which he belonged, and for all who were privileged to know him. Prof. G. W. Bissell. Mr. Catt was a representative of the highest type of American man- hood. His life was a proof of the possibihties that are within reach of young men of ability, energy and character. He came to Ames in the early 80 ' s from an Iowa farm, lacking in means, but rich in courage, and with a heart full of noble purposes. He worked his way through college. His was no time service. What ever the circumstances he was always at his post of duty. I met him on the morning of his graduation day with his work clothes on attending diligently to the work he had in charge. Faithful, able, tireless, always trustworthy, he came with the years to the command of great enter- prises where he handled many men and much capital. He won his high position in the business and engineering world on his merits. Sturdy, true- hearted, honest, the work he had in hand can ill spare him. He was in the prime of life, confident of his powers, enjoying the heavy responsibility which success had brought him. In the world of affairs he was modest, unassum.ing and genuine. In private life he was unselfish, generouj to a fault, true as steel to his friends. The college mourns one of her noblest sons and the business world one of the highest type of successful men. Dr. Stanton. Mr. Catt was a true business man in every sense of the word, very pro- gressive in methods, painstaking in the planning and pushing in the execution of his work. The large contracts which he carried to a successful finish, he did by such improved methods as to net him more than the usual income. He was always approachable, and very kind and considerate of the feelings of others. He was more like a brother than a fellow alumnus. The college interests have suffered in his death a great loss, and the aluir.ni and friends, a leader. Prof. Knapp. 9ilumtti dissociations. Honorary President E. W. Stanton, ' 72 President T. L.

On arrival at I. S. C. We had just arrived at tne main building, gone up the front steps and into one of the central halls, when we heard the gong from the regions below announcing supper. We hung our wraps up, and descended a winding stair- way into a basement hall, and then into the dining room. As we entered we saw a man wearing a black skull cap and a blue uniform with a colonel ' s shoulder straps, standing in the room about ten feel from the door. He was fingering some keys, and was there to direct student; to seats if the room was crowded. We concluded this was Col. or Captain Lincoln. He is about 50 years of age, somewhat bald, rather large, light brown mustache and gray eyes. He is not at all talkative nor very pleasan: looking, but is courteous as v-e have found. By the way I am not following out my intentions. When I got here I found that those who rooired in the cottages have to saw, split, and carry in their own wood. They always have to build their own fires and have to g3l up pretty early too, in order to get ready for breakfast at 6:30. I deeded to room in the main building. We are in room 57, fourth floor, in Fresh- man Heaven, as it is styled by those who have been here but now room below. 3 9 1890. Eight of us boys sit at one table. When we went in today noon another chap was there alone, and he informed us very politely that they had Organized that table. To organize a taole, eight boys and girls agrei- to sit at the same table and have the dining-room proctor reserve it for them. The boys generally come to m.eals first and pour the tea, etc., and then hold on to the backs of their chairs and look anxiously toward the hall door for the girls. Today the boys who took our table stood up until the rest were nearly through, and then sat down. Finally two of the girls came in. One of the others was sick and the others stayed with her. July 25, 1890. An order was posted on the bulletin board last Saturday, saying that there would be military inspection of the students ' rooms every week day at 7:30 A.M. Aug. 1, 1890. A. M. Harvey was elected president of the Freshman class for this term, in our meeting last night. It takes a chap who can command a majority of the girls ' votes to be sure of election. Sept. 7. 1890. Our new chapel of which I send you a picture is growing nicely. It is going to be a fine building. Sept. 26, 1890. A young fellow, W. E. Harriman by name, from Hampton is at our table this term. He is a smart, quick witted, always self-possessed fellow. and I like him very much. He intends to study medicine after graduating here, and also intends going to Brazil to practice medicine and grow up witl, the country. Oct. 3. Everything is about the same at I. A. C, with the exception of the iie.v rules just made, nraking it grounds for immediate expulsion to be in Ames after 7 o ' clock in the evening, or to be out of the building after the lights are out. 1 hat is getting pretty strict, I think. i Nov. 6. The boys who were of the proper age, went to town and voted Tuesday. Someone proposed that they elect Prexy road-boss in this district, and as this district is wholly in the country there were enough of the boys to do it, and so Pres. W. I. Chan berlin of the Iowa Agricultural College is elected road- boss in the 2nd district by 1 9 majority. The boys telegraphed the news to the Register, and I suppose the world will think it is very practical and proper that the President of an Agricultural College should be road supervisor in h ' s neighborhood. The best thing he can do, I think, is to make the boys put in their Saturdays at hard work until their tax is worked out. t Apr. 6, 1891. Y. M. C. A. was organized a year ago, and now has the second largest membership of all Iowa colleges. Our room was reported best four times last week. They paste the numbers of the best, as well as the others, on the bulletin board. May 1, 1891. The Juniors had a banquet and promenade one evening not long ago — They fornred columns of two, and promenaded around the campus for an hour, then had a social and supper in the building. The Inter-State Oratorical Contest is to be held in Des Moines, Thurs- day evening. 125 seats were engaged for I. A. C, and we will telegraph for more as 1 50 have promised to go. Aug. 3, 1891. We have about 1 00 new students, and our professors are beginning to wear silk hats to keep pace with the general prosperity, I suppose. Aug. 14. I am eating at a mixed table now. We have 398 students enrolled — the largest number ever enrolled. Oct. 4. The creamery being built here, will, when completed, be the best and most tho roughly equipped creamery in the world. Nov. 2, 1891. The seniors have asked and obtained permission to use the $5.00 which graduates have to pay for their diplomas towards buying and erecting a foun- tain in a triangle formed by the cement walks north of the building. The digging was begun Saturday. March 6, 1 892. Well, we are at I. A. C. once more. The elevator has been com- pleted and IS an easier irethod of bringing up trunks, but slower. Prof. Marston is the new C. E. professor. Prof. Bissell who was assistant last term is now at the head of the M. E. department. S. U. I. vs. I. A. C. On I. A.

Students may have all the apples they want from the orchard this year, provided they don ' t pick or shake them from the trees. The girls who drill wear blue dresses and white military caps and carry long spears. They are Co. G. September 24, 1892. The cadets and the girls arrived from the Chicago World ' s Fair about eleven o ' clock today; tired and dusty, but real sure that they enjoyed the best the world can show. The Juniors will nave a banquet in Boone, October 7. We will go up on the 6 P. M. train and return at 2 A. M. I toast The Junior girls. Apr. 23, 1893. I. A.

Senior class is coming here this term. Aug. I 3, 1 893. Our class has been having meetings this week electing class day speakers. Oct. 8, 1893. The Seniors were invited to a reception at Prexy ' s Thursday night. We had a very pleasant time. Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen stacked every Senior ' s room while we were gone. Now some of them are wishing they hadn ' t. Bata Concerning Bink Nov. 12, 1890. A proposition to construct a horse car railway between Ames and the college. REFERRED TO A SPECIAL COMMITTEE. committee ' s report. We do not believe a horse-car railway will meet the demands for rapid transit. We believe some means of rapid transit by electric or other railway would greatly benefit the college in varoius ways and our failure to recommend the railway proposition is not because of opposition to the plan proposed but with the hope that something better may be secured. AGREEMENT OF COMPANY. That said company will provide comfortable and suitable passenger cars for the transportation of passengers between said college and Ames. The said Ames Street Railway Coirpany hereby agrees to construct and have in operation a standard gauge railway to be operated by steam motor or other improved motive power as may be detarmined. Animal power is hereby expressly prohibited. Said railway is to be completed and in operation on or before Nov. 1 , 1 892. £S B0RN5EPT, I.I90I DhED JUNE. 1906 FIELD MEET03 ' - ' ° Aft..clcd F0OTBALLOt{° ' ° FR- SOPH 03 ' S0PH-FR03 FOOT8ALL03 ° ' ° FR-S0PH04 OOPH rno i 06-0 FIELD MEET 05| Traditions Tfescrfed J- — rT-T.

Changing the East and its frenzied strife Por the glamour and glow of the Western life. For the stars on the sage brush soft and gray Where the coyotes creep at the heels of day? Are you rover enough to understand The voice that is calling from Cowboy Land? The heart of the rebel is mine, I doubt. For I stand by the track as the trains go out. And I follow them far as the sight can go Over the grade to Ontario, Then further, in fancy, across the plains. — Ah! I wish I could go with you, Western trains. Right to the mountains grim and grand And away and beyond into Cowboy Land. My heart beats high as the wheels draw near. And I envy that coal-grimed engineer. For naught but a king is the man can ride On that royal route into Sunset-Side, A prince whom the fates have tonight assigned A crossing of swords with the mountain wind. — 1 wave him God-Speed and I kiss my hand To the Dream Girls riding in Cowboy Land. I can feel the pulse of the West that stirs, I can hear the clink of the trailing spurs, I can see the dust in the grey corral Where the quick hoofs stopped when the long loop fell, I can hear the oath and the careless jest All the warm, wild life of the wayward We ' t. — Then my wandering thoughts like a trooo disband. And the cars roll on into Cowboy Land! Will H. Ogilvie, Iowa State College. C O r fo otor! Kf Ci)e l oit in tf)e ftill. E SAT at the high drafting table in the Dean ' s office, elbows on desk and head in hand, gazing dreamily out far across the campus to where the blue grey clouds of a dreary spring afternoon were edging slowly southward over the horizon. He was just returning from the far Southland to the neglected tracing on the table when a cheery voice from the adjoining room called, Oh, Hank, come out of it! Hurry up with your drawing, for there are only a few of these cards left. A glance through the open door showed the back of a blonde head bent over the filing case while the hands fast sorted the colored cards. As Helen McGill turned to reach the farther drawer she turned her face square towards the door. The large grey eyes looked out from under the heavy lashes with a twinkle, half serious and half humorous. The square cut chin supported a straight nar- row mouth, her nose was just a trifle large. One wouldn ' t count her a handsome girl ; but there was about her a hidden force, a com- pelling strength. From time to time she would call out to the boy working in the next room, but he rejoined only with grunts and monosyllables. At last he flung himself down from the high stool and stalked over to the door. Well, thought you were going to beat me through. Here, give me a handful of those and let ' s get out. She handed him the cards and they silently sorted and filed, shifted and suffled until the task was done. Then Hank found his ' 07 cap while Helen pinned on what he always termed the blue bunnit and they started out from Engineer- ing Hall towards the old North Woods. Come on, Helen, I ' ve got ' em again. Let ' s hit out for the hole-in-the- hill and get rid of em, and so saying they started out the north drive, past the Hort Barn, past the spindly little forestry experiments, and across the stile and up the track. Helen kept up a gay chatter all the way, but Hank ' s remarks were mostly yes and no, with savage kicks at the gravel for emphasis. As they were climbing the fence for the North Woods Helen exclaimed, Oh, Hank, see that bit of sky, there where the blue shades off into the old rose and then down into the deep red. Wouldn ' t that m.ake a picture? Humph! he growled, Make a good picture for a ' Putnam Fadeless Dye ' ad. Looks as though someone had spilt red ink over a dirty tablecloth to me. But Helen didn ' t answer. She knew his spell and knew, too, that he really saw all the beauties as well as she; but that he wouldn ' t acknowledge it while he had ' em, as he expressed it. The hole-in-the-hill was not a particularly romantic spot. Most people would pa.ss it by without giving the little gully a second thought; but the old gnarled oak with the jagged roots climbing out on the bank, the great log making a seat, the grassy slopes, — this was Hank ' s own spot. No sooner had Helen seated herself on the old log, while Hank sprawled in the grass at her feet, than she inquired, Well? Oh nothing he grumbled, en fishing for his pipe he gave her a ques- tioning look. Sure, she answered to his unasked query, you know I don ' t mind. Silently he puffed while Helen marked little squares on the moss. At last with a particularly petulant jab at a clump of grass Hank ejaculated, Do you know, Helen, I ' m a big fool? ' Honest confession ' is good but I ' d never suspect it if I didn ' t know you so well. What particular brand of foolishness has driven home the great truth? This sally went by unheeded. ' Silently the pipe was emptied and re- filled while more crosses were marked on the moss. Hank rolled over on his back and sent several rings of smoke floating in the air. I might better be selling ribbons in a department store than going to college, he finally burst out, What am I doing here? Just passing up enough work to keep from getting canned. Helen started to speak, but he went on, And what is there to it all? Supposing I do graduate next year — then comes t!ie railroad camps — no home — hiking from one place to another — out of a job half the time and the other half worrying for fear I will be — ending up gray haired, maybe, as chief clerk to some assistant engineer — all the best years of my life spent driving stakes and cussing dagos. I ' d make a pretty engineer, wouldn ' t I? I tell you right now, Helen, it isn ' t worth the game. I ' m going to cut it all some of these days and get so far away that I can forget myself and everything I ' ve ever wanted to do or be — Oh, yes, I know I ' ve had the rosy dreams, lots of them, but they don ' t ever pan out. I ' m going to get a job and quit this worry- ing about Mechanics and all the rot they pass out to you here. Helen looked at the boy intently, but he was watching a bird in the top of the old oak above him. Hank, slowly came from the girl as another chunk of moss fell, you ' ve always talked square to me and I have to you; we ' ve never had any of the beating around the bush in ours. Now I ' m not going to scold you, I never do you know, but I do want to tell you some things just as 1 would to my own brother, if I had one. I want to tell you some things you know your- self, some things you ' re trying to dodge and lose sight of. You ' re not wasting your whole college course — you ' re doing some things ivell; but you are falling far short of your possibilities. You could stand at the top of your classes if you wanted to, instead of at the middle; you could have anything the college course has to offer if you would go after it; you have good times, lots of them. You want to and I want you to, you ought to; but don ' t lose sight of the really truly things, those that count. Now about your work afterwards. That isn ' t the real boy saying those things. You like power, you enjoy authority, there is a satisfaction to you in planning work and then making it go through. You ' ve had experience in railroad work and you can and will get ahead. Oh, I wish I was a man! Think of the new country, the strange people, the un- known conditions you meet! Isn ' t it something to go into an unsettled coun- try, build your railroad on paper, drive your stakes, and then eat through the hills, to fill up the valleys, to change what was wild land into cities and homes, to do something that will last? Probably your name will be forgotten, but you will know that you have done something in the world, that )our brain has planned it and our will has carried it out. Hank ' s pipe lay on the grass beside him and he was looking far out from the little hole-in-the-hill, seeing things more as they really were. Slowly he hunched himself up on one elbow and started to speak, but Helen motioned him to be quiet with, Just one moment more. The crosses on the moss were again retraced as she hunted for the words. After a pause she continued, I don ' t like to think I ' m narrow, I don ' t believe I am, — but the night after the Grinnell game, well, you know I ' ve never claimed a fellow was doomed if he took any more than lemonade, but. Hank, those things hurt your friends when you do them. I don ' t want you to be a prig. I hate prigs. But you ' re a man and know what ' s what. You know that such things steal your better self and that is the real self. There are some things you owe your friends, there are some things you owe your mother, and, Hans, there are some things due the little girl in St. Louis. — But there go the chimes, we ' ll have to hurry or you ' ll make me miss my supper. As Helen scurried up the bank Hank followed more leisurely, stuffing his pipe in his pocket and sticking his cap on the back of his head. She was waiting for him at the top with an admonition to hurry, but he paused and taking her hand murmured, Helen, you ' re the best fellow ever lived. I wish you were my sure-enough sister. She only laughed, Oh you don ' t need to do that, Hank. You know I ' ll sew your buttons on for you. You ' re just trying to work me to mend your sweater again. But as she saw the serious look in the lad ' s face she said, So do I. As the boy and girl strolled in towards the campus through the wooded College Park, their gay laughter flitted on ahead of them. The latest lecture, the coming Junior Prom, the class play, all were discused and settled. Just when they reached the old burying ground gate the chimes pealed out Lead Kindly Light, and pausing for a moment the two watched the last long shafts of the setting sun light up the windows in Engineering Hall. Then as the rays shifted to the dome of the New Main the soft shadowy gray clouds rolled away to the east and over the evening stillness came: Lord God of Hosts, Be with us yet. Lest we forget — Lest we forget! NOTHER spring had gone and half the summer too. The table over which Hank leaned was littered with specifications and estimates, the walls were plastered with plans and blueprints, while the pigeon holes above the desk were stuffed with pay rolls and profiles. Far out through the little dirt-grimed window puffed and chugged the great steam shovel, gnawing gigantic chunks from the hill, swinging with the creaking of cables and the jang- ling of chains to drop its mawful on to the string of waiting flats, cars which were twisted and turned and came crea king down the incline to the dump. Here the httle dinky engine tugged and jerked until the train was again clanking back for another load. Orderly confusion reigned everywhere; empty spike kegs and barrels lined the sides of the track; the hoarse curses of the straw boss came clearly above the steady yo-heave-ho where a gang was pulling a derailed car from the ' ' ' 3 ' , Jr- ' iS ' • ....- ■ ' ' ' ■ :. ::..■:■ ) ditch. Out through the door showed the long cranes and ; booms of the bridge gang; donkey engines were splutter- ing at the windlasses; the steady rattling of the riveters on the skeleton-like steel frame-work kept up a deaf- ening din. Smoke belched out in black rolls from the shovel ; joined with the fluttering wisp of white from the engines, and together they rolled down across the camp until, gather- ing up the spasmodic puffs from the hoisters, the great gray pall settled down like a cloud over the toiling hun- dreds, shutting out the sun- light and leaving a huge ball of red fire hanging in the sky to burn down upon the bared shoulders of the men. A shadow fell across the door and Hank looked up from the estimates to see the spindly time-keeper, boots caked with dried clay, flannel shirt open to show the lean brown neck, belt cinched up in a despairing hope of holding the corduroys to the waist. He leaned against the desk and drawled, Here ' s the morning ' s mail. There were two telegrams. The G. M. is coming in on Number 1 6 tomorrow and wants you to meet him. Station agent says St. Louis has wired that car- load of spikes will be here at noon. And the time-keeper laid the battered time book on a little table in the corner and hitching up the wrinkled trousers started for the door. Hank called after him, Tell Tom to take his gang from the material yard for unloading those spikes. I ' m glad the General Manager is coming for I want him to see that last span. Oh, by the way, have you seen anything of Agitator Foley? Is he on the work? The time-keeper leaning against the door answered, Guess not. The water boy says he saw him catch the six-thirty freight for St. Louis last night. He must have given up his union scheme as a bad job. Turning to his mail. Hank rejoined, I hope so. We can ' t afford to have any trouble with labor when the steel is coming in as it is now. The mail contained long lists of material cars, aills of lading, a curt letter from a clerk in the Chief ' s office who didn ' t see why the receipt of a car-load of fish plates hadn ' t been acknowledged, and also noted that a car of angle iron had been received which was never billed out. Would the construction office please be more careful of these details in the future? These letters were pigeon-holed and hung on hooks for future attention. One letter in a square gray envelope was saved for the last. Hank filled his pipe and ti lted back in the chair, feet on desk, before he slowly tore it open. There was only one page but that one page took away more lines from his face than all the morning ' s worry had put in. Hank spread the sheet out on the table and as he refilled his pipe he read again: My dear Henry: Uncle Hiram has asked me to go out on his next inspection trip. We will arrive at Clay Rock sometime Thursday morning. This is just a note. Will answer your last letter when I see you. Until then, I am as ever. Yours, Margaret Maxwell. 1 767 Cook Boulevard, Monday morning. He kicked back the hasps on his trunk and then rumaged through the assortment of clothing, cramming his sweater and dress suit together in a pile in the corner while he pulled out a light gray negligee -shirt and looked over his assortment of collars, musing to himself all the while as to how his neck would appreciate the novelty of a real boiled collar. He whistled a rolicking air as he honed and stropped his razor. The gray letter meant to him a whole lot more than it said, for Uncle Hiram was the G. M. and on the next day the little girl, as he always called Margaret to himself, was to come to the camp. She had never seen the engineer in the boy ; she could never sympathize with him in his work; she always thought his idea of wanting to railroad a rather queer one and wished him to settle down to something a little more civilized. But the boy ' s mind was now filled with plans for the morrow, for then he would go with her over the work, his work, and he would explain until she should appreciate and understand. Then she would see those things of which he had told her so much and of which she understood so little. After tomorrow she would know something of the fierce delight of the builder, something of the thrill that comes from the direction of large forces of men. As he started towards the mess tent and supper, he hummed a merry song for his heart was filled with the thoughts of the morning, and of the little girl, and of what in his heart was next dear, — his chosen work. Number 1 6 had scarcely stopped when Hank swung up on the rear plat- form of 301, the General Manager ' s car. Maxwell himself was standing in the door, and after shaking hands the two turned to Margaret who was in the drawing room compartment. While the boy lingered over the hand-clasp the girl ' s eyes took in every detail of his dress, the grimy boots into which were stuck the wrinkled trousers, the lean browned face, and the scarred and roughened hands. In his boyish delight he didn ' t notice the mental comparison she was making with the sleek, well tailored secretary sitting at the table. After ahoTt discussion the party of four started out for their inspection of the work. The steam shovel was visited first and Hank ' s estimate of the next month ' s yardage was mentally figured and checked by Mr. Maxwell. A few minor changes were suggested and settled. All the time the boy could spare from his manager he spent in explaining to the little girl the intricacies of the system, the purposes and causes of all the bustle and confusion they were witnessing; but Margaret ' s studied attention resulted only in her confession that she didn ' t see how he could stand it to live in such a dirty place and associate with such rough men as the laborers undoubtedly were. As the party started down the rough track toward the bridge. Miss Maxwell declared that her headache could not stand the smoke any longer and the polite secretary was glad to accompany her back to the car; while Hank, trying to cover his disappointment, kept on with the General Manager towards the water ' s edge where the long steel spans were slowly feeling their way across the river. Climbing the false work they watched the different gangs crawling like ants over the beams and girders; they followed the crane as it lifted the long spans each into its place, there to be held until the riveters, catching their white hot chunks of metal from the forge below, clamped the pieces together. Who is that fellow? queried the General Manager, pointing to one of the gang who, with legs twined around the brace, was plying his air hammer. That ' s Foley — ' Agitator ' they call him — one of the fastest workers on the job, but his name is trouble. He used to be a walking delegate in the St. Louis union, but lost out. He may try to start something here, but I am watching him. Thought I ' d seen him before, answered the G. M., as Foley twisted around and showed his face with the long scar over the eye. During the walk back to the car the old man put his hand on the boy ' s shoulder with, Hank, you ' ve got them coming. I was afraid when I put you in charge down here that you were too young, but you keep up the pace and we ' ll have through trains running by Thanksgiving. It ' s up to you. I ' ll see that you don ' t have any more trouble about material. Hank ' s rejoinder was interrupted by a contradictory, There, there, I knew you had it in you all the time. Keep it up. And remember I ' m depending on you. Margaret was reading a book which she left in the chair as the two railroaders, tired and hungry, made for the dining table; and Hank strove to forget his work and join in the merriment of the meal. He couldn ' t help noticing Margaret ' s half apologetic manner as she unconsciously tried to defend his garb to the secretary. Lunch was no sooner finished than the young engineer announced that he would have to go back down to the bridge. So, with a promise to the little girl that he would return by two o ' clock, he left the car. Half way to the river Hank met Jerry, one of the straw bosses, running towards the office. Sure, Mr. Hank, an ' there ' s the divil to pay. The boss did get his hip banged wid de fall line breakin ' an ' its a dummed thing I can do wid de byes. That Dago of a Foley has got ' em so roiled up it ' s talkin ' of strikin ' they are. You ' ll have to come down yoursilf an ' line ' em up fer sure. The two hastened to the bridge and coming up quietly heard the last of Foley ' s harangue, Yes, and they ' re a suckin ' of the life blood out of our hearts, them white collared dudes from the colleges, that thinks a laborin ' man ' s a dog. What do them aristocrats that works you to death do? Rides around in their autymobiles, a killin ' our own families, they ' re robbin ' us they ' re starvin ' our women and children, so they can sit in the lap of luxury. Men, the only way we will ever get our rights as free men is to organize and dictate to them. They — but catching sight of the engineer he lamely finished and started to slink for the bank. Hank walked out on the false work to meet him. The Agitator, with an air of bravado, started to bluff but seeing the men with shamed faces starting to their work again, he realized the hopelessness of resistance. The presence of the boss is a wonderful quieter of trouble in a gang. Hank caught the cowering figure and shoving him to the edge of the plank muttered between clenched teeth, You filthy pup! if it wasn ' t for dirtying the water I ' d kick you off into the river. Then leading the cringing coward to the bank, he pointed down the track and said, Now get! and if I ever see your face again I won ' t be so careful of the water. Foley wasn ' t slow in taking his chance and he quickly disappeared over the hill. Turning back to the gang and looking each man square in the eye Hank slowly said, Now if there are any more Foley ' s in this outfit, just chase yo ur leader. All right, boys, now rig up that fall again while I fix this block. The damage to the tackle was soon repaired and plunging down into the water he called, Now all together, boys, and we ' ll soon have this girder where she belongs. Yo-heave-ho! once again and she ' s up. Yo-heave-ho! All that afternoon he stayed at the bridge walking about on the narrow spaces as though he were on the ground, eyes everywhere at all times, never losing one detail of the work, a nod here and a word of encouragement there. By the sheer force of his indomitable will he put new energy into every man. As one gaunt old fellow exclaimed, Sure an ' our boss may be a bye but it ' s a devil for eatin ' up work he is. The lengthening shafts from the afternoon sun were slanting through the smoke and casting a weird shadow far out on the water when the boy pulled out his watch and with a start remembered his engagement with Margaret for two o ' clock. His hair was matted on the grimy forehead, the whole shoulder of his shirt was torn, and his hands were covered with iron rust, yet with never a thought of this he hurried to the car. The smoke from Number 7 which was to take 301 back to St. Louis, was already showing in the distance. He bounded up the steps and found the girl with her book again. Margaret, little girl he exclaimed, You don ' t know how sorry I am; but we had some trouble down at the bridge and I couldn ' t gel away. You see that one span had to — Well, I see one thing. You look worse than any tramp in your gang. And it appears to me, too, that if you had wanted to so very much you could have let someone else look after your precious bridge for one afternoon. Aready the switch engine was tugging at the car to couple it on to Num- ber 7, But, Margaret, you know I wanted to be with you, you see it was this way — and again the boy vainly tried to explain but the girl interrupted with, Anyway, Henry, why don ' t you ask Uncle Hiram for a place in the St. Louis office? You know he would give it to you. You certainly don ' l ever expect me to drag around after you in such places as this, do you? Hurt by the sting in her words, he didn ' t try to reply. The train was now starting. I ' m coming up to St. Louis the I 5th with the estimates. I ' ll come out that night. I ' m sorry, she answered, but I ' ll be in Kansas City all that week. With a hasty goodbye the boy swung from the car and started back down the tracks for the camp. Long after the sun had settled behind the hills, after the glow of the twilight had gone, and until the glimmering lights from the bunk houses and the flaming lamp of the mess tent were all that pierced the evening blackness, did Hank sit at his desk. Vainly he tried to find solace in his pipe, but in his heart was disappointment. He was bitter, not at Margaret, but at himself. He didn ' t blame the girl at all. Today he had had his chance to bring to- gether the two dearest parts of his life, — the girl who had promised to marry him, and the work which had fired his blood since he was a child. And he had failed, failed utterly! |AZY autumn had come and gone and with it the bridge at Clay Rock was finished. Winter had rolled around and spring found Hank on new work. A lull in the contract had given him a week ' s time and he was back on the campus again after just a year. The day before Commencement he had spent visiting with old friends and trying to realize that he was no longer a student, that his welcome now was to an old grad. Tomorrow Helen was to graduate and tonight the two were sitting out under the little clump of hard maples in front of the New Main. The band was playing the old tunes on Ag Hall steps and the joyful sound of the rolick- ing college songs came gently across from the chapel balcony. All about them flitted the gay Commencement throng, all one happy big crowd of boys and girls content with the night for it was theirs, tomorrow might take care of itself. The music stopped after awhile, the crowd started to drift, and Hank broke the silence in which they were musing. Helen, it ' s just a year tonight since I have been out to the hole-in-the-hill. Let ' s go out. Have you been there lately? Not for a year, she smiled. We ' ll have a reunion tonight. Out the same old paths they strolled. A year had made no change. Helen took her old place and Hank again sprawled in the grass. They talked of many things. He told her of his work, its struggles and trials, and yet how it JVas his work and he was happy in it. The year was lived over again in her appreciation and sympathy when the clock in the campanile called them from the bridges and railroad camps. On the way back from the woods they talked of the college, of their college, and the four years where the college was their whole life. He told her how he wished he could live the years again, how he did live them over while at his work, how it was only the happy and good and true remembrances that lasted. As they passed the Hort Barn and came down through the old maples, the clock struck the three-quarters and they heard a jolly hayrack party singing their way home from a moonlight picnic. But when the two came out on the open campus there was no one in sight. The moon lighted up the whole view and they both drank in what they realized was the last night upon the old grounds. As they were parting Hank took both her hands in his and said, Helen, this has been a night of memories for me. Do you know, you pulled me straight one other time out at the hole-in- the-hill? You put me straight then and you ' ve kept me there since. If I ever do amount to anything you ' re the cause of it. Her hands trembled as she answered, Hank, I didn ' t do it. You did it yourself, but if I have made it easier I ' m glad. I wanted to help you. She looked far out across the campus while he gazed at her. Slowly came, And, Helen, I need you yet, I need you always. We both of us care too much to part this way. You know, tell me you do, Helen. Her hands tightened in his and she wavered as she started to answer, Hank, boy, you know how — when the chimes pealed out solemnly across the moonlight: Lord God of Hosts, Be with us yet. Lest we forget, — Lest we forget! Slowly and silently she withdrew her hands and with tremulous voice con- tinued, Don ' t, Hank, please don ' t! You must not say such things to me, you must not. You have no right to say them and I have no right to listen. You must forget you ever imagined them. You will, won ' t you? Good night. And she left him standing on the steps. Slowly and as one in a dream he crossed the campus. He paused at the little bridge and watched the moon in the stream be- low. He leaned against the rail and listened to the trinkling of the creek dash- ing over its stony way. The waters mocked him and laughed at him for a fool and then ran on down the stream; now they talked seriously, almost cheer fully, telling him where his duty lay ; again with a splash and a cry calling out to him that the other way was right — not to doubt it for a moment; and then sneering and reviling him only to break with repeated appeals, This is right, That is right, Do what you know is right. As he listened the waters dropped to a low song murmuring peace and happiness — the song of right. And the pale rroon sank from sight behind the wooded hill and the gray rose of dawn flooded the sky. !3 ISalcott iSallaD.

No special chair is dedicated to this science, which, however, might better be nominated a liberal art, for any seat will do, or the stile, or a verdant bank, or the steps of the Campanile. Evening classes a specialty. This science that worries the Freshman is campus lab. That reminds me — odd thing, kissing, isn ' t it? Ever meditate on its absurdity when watching others do it? Why not rub noses after the manner of the benighted Hottentots? Whence doth the custom come? Whither doth it list? We surely hear the sound there of. Sam Slick says kissing is like creation; made out of nothing and — not so bad. It is in shape, eliptical; in sound, u-funny-us; in suDstance etherial. I recall a maiden aunt ' s description of the first time she was ever kissed by a real, live, male man. She said she fell like a chocolate e ' clair swim- ming in a bowl of honey. No. That wasn ' t quite it, either. She said she felt as if she were being drawn in a chariot of diamonds by four-winged cupids, attended by a choir of cherubim, whizzing at giddy speed down the steep side of a rainbow. There! ise heads that most of the time ache over social problems have attempted to explain the origin of the kiss. A pretty Greek myth tells us how a graceful god from Olympus gave a kiss to a charming maid of Thebes. An epidemic followed many men catching it from the maiden. It spread rapidly. No casulties. In the far East, firm is the faith that reverent worshippers of the heavens at Babylon, mounting the terraces of silver and of gold, offered up their incense and prayer to him above. One day one of their number more devout than the rest after having exhausted the vocabulary dedicated to El, after saying all he hoped or dared to dream, touched hands to lips and with outward gesture, in lieu of words, wafted the emotion of his inmost soul to Bel. Pretty, isn ' t it? After all, kissing is a manifestation of worship. Transitory, mayhap, but no less deep and real. Enough of myth! cold facts, come forth! Listen to Darwin. This exponent of evolution in other lines claims that kissing is also evolutionary. Observe, says he, a dog at play. See how he fondles his master ' s hand without the infliction of a wound. Or notice how fang meets fang when beasts indulge in sport. This is the brutes caress, the toothless bite — the first step toward the kiss. Maybe so. X ' hatever its origin, it is postitive that the kiss was not ever such an is-er as it is. There are certain people to whom kissing was unkown, until introduced as an exotic by their more highly civilized neighbors. Indeed this was the very status of affairs in Britain at the coming of Hengist the Jute, for at the banquet at which he gave his daughter to Vortigern, that worthy was astounded when upon presenting him with a horn of wine, the fair Rowena smacked him with her lips. He recovered, and next we hear his recommending the salutation to his people. The Jutes received the custom from the Saxons and the Saxons borrowed from the Franks, who received it from the Romans. Osculation has marked the crest of civilization as surely as the crests of ocean waves kiss their pebly shore. As civilza- tion has surged onward, so this attribute has been bequeathed with religion and law by the conquering races to those peoples whom they have vanquished. In religion the kiss has ever been a holy salutation. It appears in law throug ' i the early inscriptions of the Romans on their tablets of bronze frobidding the exercise of the custom on public streets. In this age of fact that Greek myth sounds overdrawn. The truth might be settled upon by a tossup between Darwin and Babylon, with odds on Dar- win. The truth of either of these theories has no crucial import. The fund- amental principles underlying the art have remained unchanged during the circuitous peregrinity by which the custom has come down to us. The method alone has been varied. Method is always subject to opinion — personal or otherwise. Hence the extensive almost exhaustive researches being constantly conducted on m.ethods. Science with Practice. JFtesbman Creeb.

QORTHWARD from the campus the way Has and westward over the fields, across the old wooden bridge, and then fol- lowing the creek up its windings until a fallen tree for a bridge, leads you to where, snuggled within a bend of the stream you will come upon the violet patch. Just a little woodsy dingle it is, strewn over with sticks and mossy logs, but violets, violets everywhere, so thick you cannot step without treading them underfoot. And such violets they are! Great velvety blosoms of royal blue with hearts of gold, and lifted on long ' thick stems from out the glossy leaves that carpet the ground with green. Where did they all come from. Why was this spot so favored above others? This is how it all came about. Once in the long ago when the world ■ was new. Spring, that wilful, sii ' ' winsome maiden, went trip- ping lightly over tne eartn, vsooing it back from Winter ' s cold embrace with her tender, capricious smiles. The fitful winds blew- her sunlit hair out behind her and frail blossoms dainty as herself trailed carelessly from her filmy skirt, which she held caught up in one hand. Pale-faced anemones and hepaticas wrapped in fuzzy furs, spring beauties, all in pink and white, blood-root in its frail fleet- ing loveliness and the deep- cupped pasque flowers dropped by twoes and threes and dozens as she passed, and everywhere they starred the brown fields and woods with ten- der bloom. Violets too she had scat- tered but her skirt was still heaped with them for spring dearly loved the violets; they were the color of her own merry eyes. A meadow lark on a wind swept knoll caught sight of Spring ' s misty drapery among the trees on the next hill and caroled, Oh, Spring is surely near! But a bevy of hoarse-voiced crows mocked him to scorn and the North wind rushed out boldly to blow lowering clouds across the sky. So the meadow lark hung his head for shame and crept away in the brown grasses. Then Spring paused pettishly on the edge of the woodland. They will not believe me! she cried pouting. The birds will not sing; the streams lock up their waters as fast as I set them free and the North wind is rude to me. I will not give them my violets. I will take then and go away. She gathered the mass of blossoms up in her arms and buried her pretty face in them. Just then a little brown bird flew out of the thicket and darted straight into the mass of bloom. There it hovered for a moment close to the maiden ' s heart, then darted out again and lo ! it was blue as the bluest violet except its breast, where it had pressed the heart of Spring, and wore a ruddy glow. This first blue bird soared away over the earth warbling trually! trually! so that no one could help but believe. The meadow lark started up, showing his gay, yellow breast and caroled joyously, Yes Spring, sweet Spring is here! and the North wind slunk back into his icy caverns. Straightway Spring let fall her lapful of flowers and looked up with so bonny a smile that the creek dashed free of its icy fetters and went dancing on with a merry song. Even the sky could sulk no longer but smiled down to see the dainty, blue-eyed maiden standing there with violets heaped all about her feet like a bit of beauty dropped out of its own sunny depths. The little spot in the bend of the creek where spring dropped her skirt with its wealth of bloom is our Violet Patch. It is there that you may hear the blue birds earliest in the spring- time as they flit from bush to branch and warble Trually! Trually ! Spring is here! ra er to g leep HERE is never a full-throated minstrel that sings Where the shades of the maple lie deep — There is never a bird in God ' s Garden that brings Such a balm for man ' s spirit to keep As the music that falls from thy whispering wings. Oh! my beautiful grey dove of Sleep! It is long since with passion a-tremble the star Bade his golden good night to the rose; Every moonbeam that slants to the earth is a bar On the amethyst gates of Repose, On the gates that the fingers of Dawn set ajar For the hand of the Darkness to close. It is long since the shadows of Silence and Rest Drooped their wings on the sky in the sea ; It is long since the breezes drew rein in the West With their tired steed turned loose on the lea; There is never a bird that is out of its nest And abroad in the darkness — but thee. Happy lovers lie sleeping. Full stars light the way Far a splendor of home-coming ships That have gathered the opaline dreams of the day To bring down on their rudderless trips. — I, too, would be dreaming. — Ah!

At last, I threw myself upon the lazy and was about to fall into an apathy of despair when a still small voice said: Come with me to Infinity! I dropped my book and prepared to go there instead. Just before we started, I began to wonder how we were gomg and how we would know when we got there so I asked. Well, said the voice, You see, here are two parallel lines. You are to follow one of them; I shall follow the other, and when we meet, we ' ll know we are in Infinity. We started. The line was awfully straight but it was made so plain that it wasn ' t hard to follow. The first thing I saw in it was a point. This surprised me. Why haven ' t I seen the point before? I thought. I had no time to examine it, however, and as I went on, I saw that the line was full of them. Few people were going my way and I met but one coming back. This was in the person of a short, fat boy. Instead of his body being unright, it was making revolutions backward, so that it looked like a circle. But as it drew nearer, I saw what it was and called to the youth to stop. All right pal, I shall if I can, he replied. He finallv succeeded in revolving round in one place but seemed oowerless to stop whirling altogether. I forgot my rush and stopoed to talk to him. Whv do you travel in this manner, mv boy? I asked. Well, he answered, you see it is not from choice. When I started ou I found that this line is tangent to thousands and thousands of circles. This so amazed me, that I began watching them revolve and. all of a sudden, I was switched onto one of them. The motion was so raoid, that I couldn ' t g t back to this line and I was so far away from earth that the power of gravity could attract only my attention, so now I must revolve forever. Then h started on, and, as he did so, shouted back, — I say, if you ' re going to Infinity don ' t fail to call on Prof. Know-it-all. 3.91 Rectangular Avenue. He ' s a bat — you ' ll like him, I ' m sure! I thanked the boy and started on at a faster pace to make up for lost time. The pext thinq I encountered, was a line drawn perpendicular to the one I was following. This caused me almost to turn at right angles and thus get off the straight and narrow wav; but just then I was caught by a chord that was being drawn through a circle at that place. No sooner had I escaped this danger, than a sharo point came traveling at full speed. I ' m bisecting every circle on this line, it cried as it whizzed along. I should have been killed then and there, had I not jumped aside just in lime to escape it. I looked back to see where the point had struck and saw that the poor little boy, who was moving in circles had not received the warn- ing and had been bisected so that his body fell exactly perpendicular to the two parallels. My only consolation was, that he was at last in piece. I had gone such a long distance now that I was very, very tired and longed to rest. Just then an arc came along. A man was in it, but I don ' t think it was Noah. Want a ride? he asked, Sure, I replied and climbed in. What was my surprise to find that, instead of going straight on, we started up into the air — the arc was a part of a circle ! ! O, why had I not been more careful? Would my fate x the san:e as that of the boy? Woe! ! Let me out! I cried. I can ' t nov, said he. This circle doesn ' t stop ' till we reach Infinity. We kept on whirling. I h?ri to sit on t ' .ie diameter and it was far more tire- . ' orre than walking. Finally thouerh, we reached a gate. This is where you get off. said the circular. There is Prof. Know-it-all, he ' ll show you around. I was glad of the chance and got off at once. At the entrance was a large bulletin board which had all the solution! for the next day ' s problems written upon it. This was my opportunity, and I took my note book to write them down. I asked the professor to lend me a pencil. He handed me the little end of nothing, whittled down to a point. This is what we use for writing here, he said. After I had copied all the solutions, the Professor went with me in search of my fellow traveler. In going around a corner, I struck the end of tiire. This paralyzed me for an instant and then, as I was recovering fro- the shock, something — I think it was parallelo piped gave me a terrible push. I fell dovn, down, down, over triangles, polygons, snheres and cones. My head seemed to be in a bottomless pit and the pit was filled with water. Then — Well, heavens, kid! aren ' t you going to bed tonight? There stood my room-mate by the lazy with empty glass in hand and I knew by the dampness in the atmosphere, that there had been another deluge, and my dreaming of the arc had been a forewarning. BtrORC THE OREELEY TAGULTY LflS UMDCRPROr. RYAn historically g peaking. I UDY hours were observed as usual in Margaret Hall on the evening before excursion day, September 29, 1905. We know study hours were observed because the notice posted on the Dean ' s office door announced that they ivould be observed. But the instructors, out of the extreme kind- ness of heart which always manifests itself on such occasions, had assigned such short lessons for Monday that the Sophomores completed their studying at an early hour and wandered about the corridors with distressed faces, absolutely at a loss for something to do. From out on the campus there sounded strange hoots and calls and whistles. The Freshmen were out labeling the world ' 09 and the Sophomores were hot on their trail. All this excitement — and in the Hall study hours were being ob- served ! The Freshmen girls finished their studying a little later, — not having yet acquired the power of concentration to which the Sophomore mind had attained. They perceived the pitiful plight of the Sophomores in their enforced idleness and it troubled them deeply. Freshmen are noted for the great sense of respon- sibility toward their fellowmen which weighs them down. They counseled together with anxious brows. This was their decision. The Sophomores have nothing to do. They want to make us efface the ' 09 ' s which we have painted, but we have painted no ' 09 ' s. We must do so at once. Magnanimously they set to work. It required much toilsome effort, muffling of transoms and hiding in closets when suspiciously gentle raps sounded on doors, but they persevered, and by the middle watch an artistic ' 09 was wasting its sweetness on the nocturnal air. All night it hugged itself and waited for the morning. But the Sophomores were not sleeping well. Whispers of dire disaster came to the ' m, borne on the night breezes, and they were moved to investigate. By the unearthly hour of six o ' clock — six o ' clock on a holiday morning! — a Clio Hall window had been raised, the luck- Jess ' 09 confiscated and a vaunting ' 08 hung in its place from the head of the fierce dragon which guards Margaret Hall. 1 he Sophomores had found something to do. A little later a band of mighty ' 08 warriors came by. All night they had been on the trail of the multi-headed ' 09 but the scalps at their belt were few and they still thirsted for gore. Their eyes were dazzled with ' 09s till they could see nothing else so when they caught sight of the Dragon ' s floating drapery they shouted, — There is one! Haul it down! Down with it! It must come down! But the next question was how to get it. In solemn con- clave they put their heads together and considered while their war clubs trembled with eagerness. A group of Sophomore girls were taking an after- breakfast stroll and they broke in upon the council of war with — Why that ' s an ' 08 banner — can ' t you see? We put it up ourselves. The warriors rubbed their eyes and disbanded. Now it dawned upon the Freshmen that it was time for them to act again. Something seemed to be expected of them and they must not disappoint an ex- pectant world. A certain Senior window opened upon the porch roof and through this window crept three valiant ' 09 ' s. The Seniors were busy and couldn ' t help it. Their minds do not readily turn to such frivolous concerns. They were darning stockings. It is rumored that recollections of a certain Freshman-Sophomore banquet when Junior boys were not invited made these Seniors still more dignifledly oblivious to what the Freshmen were doing. Down came the ' 08 banner and a Freshman, standing aloft on the housetop, cut it into a thousand pieces and with what seemed to the Sophomores, fiendish glee cast them on the ground beneath. The Sophomores groaned but they were not idle. There were other windows higher up and there was water in the well. The Freshmen on the roof borrowed umbrellas and waited for the clouds to roll over. The tallest Sophomore — she had come from the south campus to the aid of her sisters — clambered through that convenient Senior window. She was laboring under the impression that she had in her possession a brand new Sophomore banner but when she gained the roof her hands were empty and a joyous Freshman inside was calling mockingly — Hang it high I Hang it high as you can! As stated before, the Seniors were busy. It was most inconvenient to have the room crowded with Sophomores. By a series of skillful strategic movements they succeeded in clearing the room and though water came dash- ing through the transom by pitcherfuls the door refused to reopen. Now the fray raged in all quarters. Upstairs and down there was plot- ting and action. But ah! from the garret window in the east tower floated an ' 09 banner of enormous size. It covered half the window below. Oh! cried the Freshmen in rapture. It is grand! It is beautiful! The Sophomores said never a word. In one body they rushed to the room whose window was shaded by the monster banner. It was a Junior room. The best light for her dresser was obtained when said dresser was against the door. If the truth be known there were two dressers against the door and the Junior failed to see sufficient reason for re- moving them. She was busy and it was not visitmg hours. The Sophomores raged to the garret only to encounter determined guards. Ah woe! woe! What should be done? The banner flapped lightly in the morning air. The Freshmen were smilingly complaisant; the Sophomores were frantic. One doughty ' 08 brought a step-ladder, placed it against the wall directly beneath the banner and looking up muttered desperately, — It must come down! It must come down! But now a new Force entered upon the scene of action — a Force in a red sweater and some say vested with martial (marshal) authority; but if so it did not declare itself. Indeed it did not declare at all. It only acted, failed and vanished. First the force hurled itself through the corriders and against the door which had two dressers against it, — then hurled again. A broom-stick, a door jamb, a dresser have bills of damage to present but the door prevailed. The Force finding itself inadequate meekly inquired if the Junior would let him in. The Junior said she thought not. Thereupon the Force sped to the garret. The guards melted before it and it confidently reached out a hand for the troublesome banner. But the banner floated grace- fully downward and was drawn in at the Junior ' s window. It was then that the Force vanished and whence and why it came and whither it went we know not. The banner again ascended and waved in triumph while the Sophomores wailed and gnashed their teeth. The Freshmen had had their fill of glory. They had learned their power and they were content so they folded up their banner and peacefully went their ways. All day the Sophomores had fumed and vowed revenge but when the next morning a big black ' 09 stared from each Sophomore door, the limit had been reached. The Sophomores held consultation and each came out wearing a band of black encircling her left arm. It was rumored that there was to be a funeral but the Freshmen jeered saying They had better kill us before they bury us. The Sophomores, however were resourceful. If they could not get the real thing, they were good at make believe. At eight o ' clock a procession formed bearing at its head a white-robed effigy of the Freshmen and weeping and wailing and singing mournful dirges the sad company wended its way to the central campus where the corpse was disposed of with great ceremony and solemn rites. When the mourners re-entered the Hall comforting words greeted them from the bulletin boards — Oh death where is thy victory; O grave Where is thy Sting? The Body Dies but the Spirit Lives Forever. And it was thus that the conflict ended but the Spirit of the ' 09 ' s lives and waxes strong and oft do the ' OS ' s devoutly wish they had let the body live for then they could combat at least for as it is the spirit works on unseen and unconquered. College Ba , 1905 Anniversary of the formal opening of Iowa Slate College, October 21,1 868. t:f)e Cale of tfjt ig, WAS Hallowe ' en night and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The watchman passed by on his usual oeat. And I listened long to the sound of his feet. As they crunched along the gravel path. Then I wearily sighed and returned to my Math. An exam the next day was the reason, dear friend. Why my evening ' s studies were not yet at an end. But at last the old clock in the tower struck twelve And I made up my mind no longer to delve In the intricate mysteries of X and of Y. So I closed my book with a yawn and a sigh And went to my rest with my head in a whirl, A very bewildered, perplexed sleepy girl. I slept — but how long, I ' m not able to say. It couldn ' t have been very long — anyway. When all of a sudden there rose .such a clatter I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter, I of ened the door and what did I see? A pig directly opposite me! The poor little fellow was frightened to death He trembled, and shook and panted for breath. For one very brief moment we gazed at each other — No doubt the poor pig thought of home and his mother — • But I stood dumbfounded — too astonished to call. The pig gave a squeal — then dashed down the hall. To each foot and the tip of his short curly tail Was tied a tin can which it seemed could not fail To waken e ' en those who slept the most soundly. The noise thru the corriders echoed profoundly. Doors opened quickly, — frowzled heads were put out And voices asked sleepily — What ' s the racket about? Just then Mrs. Kilbourne appeared on the scene. Like Liberty enlightening the world she might seem. For in her left hand a candle she bore She cried — Girls what ' s the matter, but said nothing more For her glance fell on the pig who just then thought he ' d try To get by her, — She squealed — So did L A mad race was commenced — we hunted him down Mrs. Kilbourne Shooed and shook her Japanese gown In his poor porkey face but ' twas all no avail The cans rattled loud on his feet and his tail. We tried hard to catch him to show him the door But each time he ' d slip by us the same as before. At last the poor piggy was well nigh run out He ' d been chased into a corner — we crowded about And Emmy Lou quickly grasping, had him by one leg He squealed with great fervor but ' twas no use to beg. Emmy Lou clasped him tightly, with both arms you know While we untied the cans which had bothered him so. Then out thru the window he went like a flash The tin cans which followed him fell with a crash Low muffled laughter wafted in on the breeze And three dark shrouded forms glided off ' mongst the trees. We crept back to our cots and were soon fast asleep And till seven next morning we ne ' er heard a peep. loutf). GOBLET brimmed over with wine. Whose rubies the sun sets a-sparkle with fire! — When the Gods hold this cup to us who shall decline To drink deep as the Gods may desire? A crystalline mirror of truth Flashing back to us thoughts that sere age shall reprove! — Ask the breeze! Ask the butterflies! — They know that Youth Is the banquet and ball-room of love! A scepter the high Gods have set In the hand of each slave for a season too brief, Er ' e old 1 ime whirl it down to the pools of regret As the winds whirl a wandering leaf! Will H. Ogilvie. Mr. Will H. Ogilvie, head of the Department of Agricultural Journal- ism, has done much to infuse a love of literature into those of us engaged in making up this Bomb. In addition to contributing some excellent pieces of poetry he has been kindly liberal with his tin-.e and with helpful suggestions. NSCONCED among encircling trees, towering above their cool, green embrace, cradling the most persistent, most potent memory of our lives, it stands erect, four square and proudly straight, to melt in music into the blue above. Winsomely it ushers in each budding day, nursing the tiny minutes, hour by hour, to high noon ' s bloom and evening ' s petal-fall. Warmly its voices welcome us at dawn. Rich throated, gently solemn, all day long it speaks — speaks tenderly, the speeding hours with no return; the opportune now; the ir- revocable past; and, as we close our eyes, its bells ring out the promise of a morrow. We fall asleep, its clear, resounding notes our lull, and waken at its touch all subtly conscious that throughout the night it stood alone against the winter ' s blast, the lashing of the rain; and tolled away the darkness. The keynote of our student days, it lures us to our task with joyous sound and crowns the close of labor with its melody — a hymn of praise, a benediction. Through four bright, happy years our friend it modulates its notes to every mood, — glad peals or somber tolls, or tintinnabulations almost . gleeful — a mother ' s lullaby to her nestling babe, the Angelas ' sweet call of respite to the toiler in the field, the bell clear signal to the sailor watching out at sea, the bugle ' s Forward clarion, the sunset gun to weary troopers near their journey ' s end. And after we have passed the campus bounds — out to maturing years — the echoes bind us to those golden days when beneath thy spell our Campanile, we grew erect like thee. KBt)en 0ntf}xit speaks.

C1)e 5 arsifal Ball AVE you heard of the Parsifal Ball, Once given at Margaret Hall? On a staid study night. Do you think it was right To indulge in a frivolous ball? But ' twas jolly, that Parsifal Ball, With music and laughter and all! With the Dean far away At the Parsifal Play There was no one or caution to call. But at length from that Parsifal Ball, Three couples stole up the dim hall; To third then they sped To a sumptuous spread ' Twas this lured them far from the ball. Alas! during that Parsifal Ball, Their neighbors had heard of it all; The room it was stacked And tumbled and packed In a way that would simply apall. These wand ' rers from Parsifal Ball, Right nobly to work they did fall; The room was set right Spic and span again quite While their appetites grew far from small. But hark ye what now did befall These deserters from Parsifal Ball, As they feasted in glee These gay couples three. Strange whispers were heard in the hall. A bevy of girls soft did call, We ' ll fix this much of Parsifal Ball. Thev had all had their fill Of fire practice drill. And the hose each one knew how to haul. What an ending to Parsifal Ball ! Who ' d have thot it of Margaret Hall? Though to hide they did try Barnev, Waycott and Frye, The water in torrents did fall. Down again to the Parsifal Ball With its music, its laughter and all; The poor lads wildly fled. Wet from heels to their head. And declared that the heavens did fall. Bepartment of Bomrstir citncr.

Miss Herr — For prehistoric reasons of Geology. Prof. Bennett — Mr. A. how do we recognize an element? Mr. A. — By its properties. Mathematics Instructor — Miss A. please give me the definition for space. Miss A. — (After a moments thought) — I can ' t express it, but I have it in my head. Mr. Thompson in Polit. — Discoursing on infant industries and slightly flustrated) — The infants — laughter by class — As the infant industri es grow they begin to cry for higher tariff and — No proceeding possible. Miss Placeway — Now if I were to tell you to weigh a certain volume of a gi en gas how would you go about it? Student — Aw that ' s easy enough. You just weigh a pound of the gas and then see how much it weighs. Prof. Stevenson — Will water percolate more rapidly through fine soil than it will through coarse soil or is the reverse true? Happy — From what I have been able to read up from the most re- liable authorities, I am convinced that in most cases, all things being equal, in all probabilities the reverse would likely be to the contrary. Prof. Stevenson in Agronomy V — Now, if during the course of the hour, anything, of any interest, to any one of you, should come up, please raise your hands that my attention may be called to the fact. Student — How much larger are these drills of which you speak? Prof. Bugbee (Absent mindedly) — Oh hundreds of tons, hundreds of tons. Ag.

Now I lay me down to sleep I ' ve got my seed corn where it ' ll keep If I should die before I wake How many bushels would it make! One of our prominent post graduate students, Dr. Deederick Von Buber- nieckle has made a careful analysis of several samples of water used about the capus. The following is a fair sample of the results which he obtained: Sample No. 7693— Where obtained — From distilled ivaler storage t anl( in the J. S. C. chemical laboratory. Name of impurities. Per cent of impurities. Salivates Battleaxes 28.3 Heidsieck Piperius 9.2 Juiceus Climaxius 1.7 Remarks. — The storage tank is situated near to the laboratory where the Veterinary students work Chem. Prof. Newens — The sayings of great men (and women) are quoted twice to their written words once. Prof. Suter- Oh that ' s bad! bad! Rub it out quick, the janitor might come in after class. Miss McLean — Well, children! Prof. Stevenson — P„ O.. Prof. Dinsmore — Er-r-r-r-r-r-r. Prof. Cessna — P , 0-. He soared on eagle ' s wings and landed in Daddy ' s woodpile. Rome rose and fell, but China goes on forever. We are sailing along here with our wings flapping on the earth when we ought to be soaring high m the air. The following are the announcements to be made at this time. Prof. Summers — Science is Why. And there ' s a reason for it. Miss Moore — What are you giving us? Prof. Holden — Q. — If I were to ask you what you would do to in- crease the profits on my farm next year, what would be your first move? A. Test your seed corn. Prof. Bennett — Always has never come to you yet, but you have a little piece of it now. Our dilemma has two horns and we have hold of both of them. Oh proportion, what is done in thy name! Well, you see you let go of your mind right there. Did you hear it drop ? Prof. Bugbee — Now this drill which you see weighs two thousand pounds. It is the largest drill used in ordinary prospecting work. In some cases there are slightly larger drills. Miss Allis — It ' s all in the notes. Miss Lucas — N ' est pas? Rutherford — Ain ' t that so? Ain ' t I right ? Mrs. Kilbourne — Gentlemen let us say good night. Your are not a New York society belle. Prof. Hibbard — The invention of boys was as great as the invention of the cotton gin. You can ' t miss it. HALL MEETINGS. MAXIMS. It is not one of the rigid rules of this school that every girl in Margaret Hall shall have a caller every Sunday evening. After dark is not the best time to commune with nature, nor with human nature. I believe this is all I have to say to you tonight but — I have a box of marsh-mallows here — . Eating is not a beautiful art at best. Toothpicks and gum should be used only in one place — behind the door. Girls, after this it will cost ten cents to obtain the master-key and twenty-five cents if you climb the transom. It costs me more than that to get over my transom. Extract from a Freshman girl ' s note book after her first hall-meeting: We mustn ' t have callers on study nights unless they come from a dis tance. I wonder if half a mile would be called a distance? We musn ' t get acquainted with anyone unless we know them. We musn ' t go down town Sunday night unless we are going some- where.
