BESSEY. HALF century seems like a long time to us today, and yet I must ask you to go back a littls further still to the beginnings of this collegz when a few earnest men secured the passage of a bill by the legislature providing for the selection of a proper site on which to build an agricultural college. Among these early advocates of the college was Suel Foster of Muscatine. I remember him as a spare little man with a sparkling eye, and a quick, in- cisive speech. Always in earnest, always thinking of the good of the community, not self-seeking, he was a model citizen. Well might this college erect a memorial tablet in his honor, and plant an oak tree to keep green his memory. On this tablet inscribe the words Suel Foster, pioneer, patriot, lover of trees and fruits, advocate of agricultural education, friend of the college. On the tree you plant, place the simple label, The Suel Foster Oak, and as the years come and go, its growth and virzscznce shall serve to remind us that such lives as his live in their good deeds. The spirit of this pioneer still lives on this beautiful campus, and here we should perennially honor his memory. It is a matter of history that when it came to selecting a site for the college, the committee was divided between those who favored this site, and those who. preferred another a few miles east of the city of Des Moines, and Suel Foster told me that it was his vote that brought the committee to favor this location. For many years it seemed that the other would have been the better site, and there were many who ridiculed and denounced the selection, for no place in the state seemed to be more hopelessly isolated. Think of planning to set down a college in a thinly settled part of the state, away from the railroad, and separated from a miserable little village by the almost impassable bottoms of an uncontrollable prairie stream. It required a faith like that which can move moun- tains, to see in this remote site the beauty which now greets the eye. And no doubt Suel Foster ' s prophetic eye saw as in a vision the beauty of this scene today, as it is given to some to catch glimpses in this life of the sweet fields of Eden in the world of the hereafter. ■v-;: .•:••.•■: ■ I pass over the years of waiting to the day forty years ago this morning when the college doors opened to receive its first in- stallment of students. There were big, awkward country boys, two score or so of them, and a score or so of rosy-cheeked, shy girls from the farms and the little towns. How strange it all seemed. There were no old students to greet the new comer. There were no traditions. There were no stories about students or faculty to be handed down with embellishments from upper classmen to lower classmen. Everybody was equally new, and inexperienced. And on the other side was the new faculty. There was the dig- nified and polished President Welch, a veteran teacher elsewhere, but new to Iowa, and to the particular education represented by this college. There was Professor Jones of somewhat severe mien, and with every evidence of being a vigorous, driving personality. And there was the bland Dr. Foote who was to lay plans for a department of chemistry, the energetic Dr. Townsend, and the lov- able Miss Beaumont. It was a faculty small in numbers but remark- able in ability. These were the pioneers who represented the long line of teachers that have followed in the path broken here on the open prairie. And so the work began, a new faculty gave instruction to a new student body. There were only the most meager facilities for instruction. There were blackboards, some benches, some chairs. There was a museum, small in size, but large in the number of dreadful specimens which it contained. With what feelings of horror must those innocent youths first have looked upon the numberless bottles of preserved snakes, the boxes of bats, impaled beetles, and tarantulas, and the fierce-looking panthers and wild cats. It must have been an education in itself for these unsophisticated boys and girls to have spent an hour in this chamber of horrors, learning the lesson that art is sometimes greater than nature. In this young college there were no laboratories, no shops, and only a small library. It was a day of small things. The faculty lived in the building, with the students, the classrooms, the kitchen and the dining room. With the exception of the farm superin- tendent, and the live stock, the whole coUege was housed in one building. It was economical surely, and it saved time for students and faculty. No one lost time in getting to his classes. But this idyllic life was not destined to last long. The cold north- west winds swept down upon the college and its band of teachers and pupils, so snugly ensconced in the big building. There were no trees to check the force of those chilly blasts, and in spite of the efforts of the old fireman the few little furnaces down in the cellar could not and would not keep the cold from creeping in. And right here was the beginning of the winter vacation so long a custom in the college. Finding that it was impossible to keep warm during the winter the college work was suspended until spring, and everybody went home. And this was repeated again and again at- it became a deep-rooted habit which it took many years of agitation and discussion to remove. Sixteen months from this opening day which we are now cele- brating I first saw these grounds. It was a raw February day on which I reached the quite forlorn looking village of Ames. It im- pressed me with its treelessness and small houses with no shrubs and no dooryards, as a village which was all out of doors, and lonesome and unprotected. The drive over the rough, mud road, a rickety bridge and the bottoms of Squaw Creek, was not re-assuring. The main approach to the college just at the base of the hill, and up through the barn yard, by the old Farm House, and then across the fields to the president ' s house might have dampened the ardor of the new comer. But he was young and inexperienced, and withal was an optimist, and he had faith and went forward. What a blessed thing is faith and optimism of youth? It is the faith that removes mountains. It is the optimist that always sees the golden margin of the cloud, no matter how dark and threatening the cloud may be. Look back with me nearly thirty-nine years, and see this campus as the young botanist saw it. There were no drives, no walks, no paths, no smooth lawn, and only a few small trees. There was the large building — The College we called it, the Farm House, a barn, some sheds, the president ' s house, and Professor Jones ' house, these houses being away off on the prairie seemingly a long distance from the center of activity. Probably the present generation has forgotten the story of these first houses for the faculty: — how the early trustees, being of an experimental turn of mind determined to build them of concrete, and actually had the president ' s house nearly completed, when one fair day it crushed down, carrying down with it the astonished carpenters at work on the roof. For- tunately no lives were lost, and the trustees gave up their ad- vocacy of the concrete of that time for the building of houses. The remains of the walls of the two houses were gathered up and used for the foundation of the drive that for so many years had run from College Hall southeast towards the present entrance. If you are inclined to search for relics, go and dig into the foundation of this old driveway and you will find fragments of the concrete walk that fell nearly forty years ago. That was the day of the old time labor system. The law estab- lishing the college required every student to work not less than three hours a day in the summer and two in the winter. And so it was averaged, and every one was compelled to work two hours and a half a day. The students were assorted into squads of con- venient size, and over each was a squad master who collected his men, took them to their work, kept them at it, and returned them and their tools at the end of the work period. For many of the young men it was slavery, that is unvoluntary servitude. They were paid ten cents per hour if they worked faithfully and broke vvw ,. ,,, no tools. The makeshifts, the excuses, the evasions, that were re- sorted to in order to avoid this daily labor would, if written, fill a volume. At what did they work? The girls worked in the kitchen and dining room, while the boys mopped the floors, hoed weeds in the garden, milked the cows, worked in the barns at odd jobs, worked in the fields, cut down trees in the fringe of forest northwzst of the college, dug ditches, helped cart away the piles of dirt excavated from the cellars of the wings of the college building. Yes, every- body worked in those first years, and the practice was given up only when there were so many students and so little work that there v as not enough to go around. You can maintain a manual labor system only when there is much rather simple labor to be pjrfor.Tied, and not a great many persons to do it. Then too, that was before the rise of the laboratory and the shop as parts of a college equip- ment. In these, nowadays, the student works, and with far greater effectiveness educationally. It is far better for a boy to spend his afternoons in the soils laboratory, the dairy laboratory, the botanical or the horticultural laboratory, than for him to dig ditches, chop wood, hoe weeds, or milk cows. It was characteristic of the president that while he grappled with some things and compelled them to yield to his will, there were others that he allowed to have their own way, and to effect their own solution. A notable instance was his treatment of the question of the admission of young women to the college. No special pro- vision had been made for them, but when they came they were assigned to rooms and to such classes as they were able to enter. There was no course of study for young women, the two courses being the Agriculural course, and the Mechanical course, and in these the young woman were registered. Some men would have kept them out of these quite unfeminine lines of study; others would have catered to the evident intent of the people of the state to send their daughters to the college. But president Welch simply waited, and watched for developments. So the first girls in the college went into the same classes as the boys. And this not discouraging their sisters from coming to college, when he found that they were in earnest and meant to claim a permanent place in it, he helped the faculty to block out a course in General Science for women. In it were such culture studies as history, literature and language, and that the young women of the state appreciated the value of the boon thus granted them is attested by their rapid increase in numbers. He spread no attractive intellectual feast before the young women of the state to tempt them to enter the young college and swell the numbers of its students; he chose rather to wait and see whether they really wanted to enter the college. How sharply this contrasts with what I frequently see in college management where the at- tempt is made to create a demand by means of optimistically written circulars, lavishly illusrated by beautiful half tone reproductions of rtjf photographs. This latter method of decoying yoang people to come ;iC to college may be justifiable from a business standpoint, but it ; ' certainly is lacking in good taste, and partakes quite too much of the style of the private normal schools, the business colleges, and the correspondence schools, all of which educational heresies were an abomination not to be tolerated by this scholarly president of the Iowa State College. In the early days this college like all others was afflicted by certain infantile disorders. It is really quite amusing to watch these attacks, and to note how exactly they are reproduced in different colleges. And the amusing part of the case is the firm belief of each college that this particular attack is the first and only instance of its kind in the educational world. Very early in the history, the the college experienced a severe attack of the student government disorder. While it lasted in theory, the students governed them- selves, making and enforcing their own rules, and meting out punishment to all who disobeyed them. I say in theory, for to one who was on the inside of affairs as officer of the week for year after year, this self-government was little more than theory, even in its most flourishing period. Had I the time and were this the place, I could imitate Gibbon in his larger theme, and write the tragic history of the decline and fall of the student government. Such a history would include the humiliating story of incompetent and weak officials, the consequent disorders in the rooms and hall- ways, the incoming of the powerful forces of the faculty, the gradual increase of faculty control, and the final extinction of the last vestige of student government. Some old-time student of the early classes must write this tragic story, that it may be added to the long list of governments that have risen, flourished for a brief period, and then passed off the stage forever. As we look back to those early days, and bring our vision slowly down the present, we many answer the question as to what it is, in particular, for which this college stands. Such a backward glance over the forty years of its active existence shows that it has not been simply one more college added to the educational facilities of this state. It has stood for something different, so different that during the first years of its existence the educators of the state did not know how or where to class it. It began as a protest against the narrowness of the old education, which looked askance at the sciences when they demanded admission to the college curriculum. That such a protest was necessary the older men remember, for when the sciences were admitted at all they were usually given a distinctly inferior place. It was not at all uncommon to find much lower conditions of admission to the scientific course than to the classical, and for a time the course was but three years in length. The graduate from the scientific course was properly looked upon as not standing on the level of the classical graduate. All this was no tools. The makeshifts the excuses, the evasions, that were re- sorted to in order to avoid this daily labor would, if written, fill a volume. At what did they work? The girls worked in the kitchen and dining room, while the boys mopped the floors, hoed weeds in the garden, milked the cows, worked in the barns at odd jobs, worked in the fields, cot down trees in the fringe of forest northwest of the college, dug ditches, helped cart away the piles of dirt excavated from the cellars of the wings of the college building. Yes, every- body worked in those first years, and the practice was given up only when there were so many students and so little work that there v as not enough to go around.

The graduate from the scientific course was properly looked upon as not standing on the level of the classical graduate. All this was admirably calculated to discredit the scientific studies, and to keep from their pursuit the strong men in the college. In its past history the college helped to broaden the curriculum of every other college, and thus made a most important contribution to the cause of higher education in this country. Having accom- plished this so successfully, it should now give greater breadth to its own curriculum. As the old colleges learned from the new, so the new colleges must not fail to learn from the old. We taught the old colleges the value of the sciences in higher education, and as a result they have added the sciences to their courses of study. Let us not forget that in our zeal for the introduction of the sciences we gave scant attention to the old studies. It is time now that we should begin to liberalize our curriculum by the introduction of some of the old culture studies. For it is not true that without them we can do better or even as well. Though they may not add to a man ' s earning capacity, they make him a more agreeable man to his fellows, and what is more, to himself, also. Every man should have some intellectual possession that can not be bought, that is above and beyond price. Let us add some of these things to the preparation we give to the man who is to live in the open with his crops and his stock and his family. Let us if possible kindle in him a spark of poetic fancy, that this may make the long days less wearisome, and the loneliness of his isolated life more endurable. Let us add to his knowledge of what the world has been in the generations that have long gone by. Let us give him something from the rich store of philosophy, that he may think of these things when the hours of drudgery weigh heavily upon him. The college has greatly improved the quantity and quality of the com crop in Iowa ; it should also improve the corn grower himself : — h has improved the quality of the cattle in the state ; — let it not overlook the quality of the cattle growers. In your commendable zeal to make better engines, and pumps, and bridges, do not neglect the betterment of the engine maker, the pump manufacturer and the bridge builder. Let us look after the man a little more, not neglect- ing his product in so doing, but remembering him always. And now as I close this rapid and somewhat cursory sketch, let me first of all congratulate you upon reaching this fortieth anniversary. I congratulate you upon the splendid success you have achieved; — your twenty-four hundred students ; — your fine campus ; — your mag- nificent buildings; — your admirable faculty. But more than all I congratulate you upon your honorable history, and that in the early years you had here the great men who laid firmly and wisely the foundations upon which you have so well built this great institution. iiiiitiitniiiti ili I k in, li in Hi Clje JBteto.

By the middle of the forenoon, the greater part of the army of Ames- Iowa enthusiasts had reached the city. Special trains from Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, and heavy loads from the west and north had been pouring in for some time. State field was to be the scene of battle. By two o ' clock the forces of the Cardinal and Gold were gathered three thousand strong on the east side; on the west were the Old Golds, while at either end the hostile colors intermingled. Never was loyalty more strong. Around the standards were grayhaired men; men whose faces were well known in legislative halls; sober and calm-minded judges; robust and hardy farmers who had laid aside their cares for a time to rally once more around the old flag and shoot for their Alma Mater. The graduates of the last class or two were omnipresent, even the girls, with faces all aglow stood ready to advance, like the Amazons of old, to the defence of the flag they loved. The chimes pealed the half hour and a great cheer arose from the west side as the Old Gold varsity, massive yet active, battle scared warriors of many a fray, came upon the field. This cheer however, had no sooner died away than another, at first indistinct, but gradually growing louder like a peal of thunder, rolled simul- taneously along the east side as the Ames varsity squad, lighter but faster, eagerness and power eminating from every movement, trotted out single file. Stripping off their sweaters, both teams went through a little warm- ing-up practice while goals were being chosen. Iowa won the toss and chose the north goal with the wind at their backs. The players took their positions, every nerve under control, every muscle tense with determination. Iowa ready? Captain Mac Ilhinney of Ames? There was not a sound around the whole field save the slight rustle of the wind in the falling maple leaves back of the bleachers, and in the gentle flapping of the canvas wall around the south half of the field. Both sides were waiting breathlessly for the signal which would start the hottest football contest in the West, The referee ' s whistle sounded; the pigskin darted aloft. The Old Golds advanced like a wedge, while the Cardinals dosed ranks to meet them. The teams lined op once. They were even, very- even. Twice. It was futile. A loss on fumbles, a drop-kick by- Kirk, and in less than ten minutes from the sounding of the whistle, Iowa had scored. The wearers of the Old Gold were wild with delight. Cheer after cheer broke forth, but the pla-y- had been so rapid and the outcome so sudden that the Cardinals were dumb in consternation. The Iowa warriors were upholding their records. The enthusiasm of their supporters was unbounded. The ball was again put in pla-y, the Hawkeyes proud of their manifest superiority, while their op- ponents encouraged each other in grim determination. A few minutes of rapid play followed, when Mac Ilhinney, the famous Ames right end, tucked the ball under his arm and darted around to the left. Iowa ' s guard and tackle as well as the end were effectively blocked by the interference. Kirk, the mighty defensive half back, was circled, the little quarterback was taken care of by Mac ' s strong stiff-arm, the defensive full was cleverly dodged, and the big captain swung in behind the bars for a touchdown. The Ames rooters arose as one man and a deafening roar of applause broke from the recently dumb followers of the Cardinal and Gold, resounding deeper and stronger as the ball cleared the bar for a safe goal. The visitors felt for a moment that they had met their match, but there was no time to pause for the fight was on again fiercer than before. Signal after signal rang out. Gains were no sooner made than lost. From the twenty yard line Kirk ' s reliable boot sent another drop-kick safely over the bar mid the frantic cheers of his supporters. The forces rallied. Revised football rules were thrown to the winds. All the tactics of war were employed. The center was rushed. The tackles and ends were tried, but, finally, forward passes and punts were used, and to some effect, for Law, the Ames right tackle, went over for another touchdown and then, mid deaf- ening yells for the players and the team, Jeanson kicked goal. A few minutes of hard but uneventful play followed, when the whistle sounded. The first half was up, score 12 to 8. During the ten minutes of intermission, the giants were sur- rounded by their substitutes and seconds while the coaches gave them helpful words of advice and encouragement and planned for the last half. The rooters paraded around the field, boys and gray haired men alike. The two bands played thrilling pieces, — both in harmony and in discord. The Ames supporters were jubilant, but far from confident, for they realized that their opponents had that which they did not possess and that this element had been a deciding factor in the big games of the season. When the whistle sounded for the second half, the question on each side was Will Kirk ' s boot save the game? The second half started with a snap. Iowa kicked to Ames who gained steadily for a few minutes, crowding their heavier opponents toward their own goal line. Iowa tried the forward pass and lost. Punts were no more successful for gain. Both sides were penalized for holding, but a thirty yard gain by the backs enabled the plucky Irttle Ames quarterback to send a place kick safely over the bar. This feat seemed to surprise the visitors. They rallied, using their greater weight to advantage, making every play a unit in itself, massing their great weight first against one and then against the other side. Fast play and the helping spirit were gaining through the Ames line. Hazard, the big fullback, was sent through for a touchdown, thus gaining for hiTself and for his team the honor of being the only ones to cross the Cyclones ' goal line that season. White, the right end, kicked goal while the rooters gave them yell after yell and encouraged them for bigger gains and more scores. The greater weight of their team was beginning to tell. There were only two points of difference in the score now. Onlv one more score and the game and the State Championship would be theirs! The long coveted was almost within grasp! Just a little more effort and the much— sought-for would be won! Again the ball was in motion, now advancing, now receding, until in a few minutes the little, cool-headed Ames quarterback put another place kick safely home, while cheer after cheer came from the husky-throated rooters. Time was precious now! The team that had beaten Missouri by a big score, the team that had whipped Illinois, and played Wisconsin to a stand-still, felt their prize slipping irresistibly out of reach. Something must be done and that quickly! Only six points to make but the half was nearly up. A touchdown with a safe goal would tie the score and keep their opponents from a clear title! Could they do it? The Ames varsity, too, had seen play before. Had not these same Cyclones played Minnesota and Nebraska off their feet? The men who were playing their last game for their Alma Mater real- ized that the moment of their careers had come! For the last time the ball was put in olay. Iowa gained, then lost but slowly worked toward the goal. The fifteen yard line was reached. The time signal might sound at any moment. Would Kirk try a drop kick? NO! for Iowa wanted at least a tie score. The heavy team gained slowly but surely. The ten yard line was reached and passed, then the five was put behind the attacking team. The excitement on the bleachers was intense, the Cardinals fear- ing lest, after the hard fight, the heavy-Weights would be too much for the team, the Old Golds trembling at the nerve and staying- power of the lighter team. With their feet on their own goal line, the Ames men braced for the final charge. It came. Hard and fast though the game had been, there had been nothing like this last desperate effort, this dying gasp, this awful struggle for the goal, so near and vet so far! One down! — No gain, — Second down! The line held like a stone wall! The last play was play massed against one man, Brugger, the Ames right tackle. If ever the training of coach and trainer told, it told at that moment. Thirty-four minutes of hard and fast play, two awful onslaughts by a heavy and determined team are wearing, but this man clinched his teeth, braced his powerful limbs, and, when the rush came, did not give an inch! It was Ames ' ball on downs, and on her own three yard line. The danger was not yet over, for in order to punt, Lambert must go back of his own goal line where a poor pass or a blocked kick would mean a safety or a touchdown for Iowa. The signal rang out shrilly, the men took their positions, Lambert carefully plac- ing them so as best to protect his kick. He was just in the act of raising his hands for the pass signal when the referee ' s whistle blew Time up, ending the game and giving to Ames the undisputed title of CHAMPIONS OF IOWA for J907. (This game was played November 23, J907) between the foot- ball tea ' ;ns of the State University at Iowa City and Iowa State College at Ames. Final score J 4 to 20. Ed Note,, C. R. S. fO.

Once classified, the freshmen were informed at great length about the hjeart rending methods of hazing. When its tenor had grown to huge proportions the an- nouncement Was made that the ( ar- dinal Guild (the salvation of the under-dog), had arranged a class scrap to be conducted scientifically. At least the ' lO ' s can remember the dark, chilly night, the long line of quaking freshmen waiting to paint their numerals above every- thing else. The feminine portion were loyal but frightened. The battle raged fiercely and when the sun rose the next morning it shone first upon an enormous red 10 painted gaudih upon the sign board, and a minute later upon a field strewn with shreds of coats, battered hats and speckled with daubs of red paint. A few weeks later, in all the hum- bleness of a defeated foe, tlu Sophomore Class entertained the Freshmen. Margaret Hall was crowded with under classmen, all vieing in their efforts to fill dance programs. ;o x The crowning plory of the year came later, when the heroes of many High school football scrimmages, met the men with college training and came off victors. The 1910 pennant flaunting the newly ac- quired name, Mennuksuonk, floated out from a third floor window -n Margaret Hall. Here was a chance for the girls to show their class spirit and they were equal to it. .After a lively scrap the Sophomores withdrew leaving the Freshmen to exult in peace. All thoughts of class strife were banished when the Sophomores received invitations stating that on a certain night the Freshmen would entertain at their Annual Hop. Margaret Hall rivaled its guests in gala dress on the api)ointed eve- ning, and no one thought of the former struggle for supremacy. Even the programs, in the shape of minia- ture footballs, did not cau.se any feel- ing of jealousy. Everyone was merry and at the close of the evening the Mennuksuonks were voted to be victors as hosts as well as at football. Time passed quickly, when one night early in the spring, the girls determined to have a track meet. As it was an ent.irely new custom they decided to have it about 8 p. m., and ask no one, but somebody told and as .strange figures in gymnasium .suits headed by the Duchess band, in truly an astonishing array, began to penetrate the shadows of Athletic Field, other figures appeared suddenljf and mysteriously from every direction. until it became quite evident that the bleachers would be filled. — i— — fiesH jntr i The 100 and 220 yard dashes were nin in startling time and the victors loudly applauded, but as it was soon seen that the crowd could not be accommodated the meet had to be forever postponed. Before anyone realized it the Spring term had passed and the class of 1910 departed to be Freshmen never again. Woe to the triumphant Freshmen tens! When their Sophomore year dawned fate turned an unfavorable page. The fresh and verdant Fresh- man class pulled them into Briley ' s pond three times out of five. AH the loyalty of the girls carrying the battle scarred pennant of the year before was of no avail. In the dark the defeated class crawled home in disgrace. By the time the tens had been beaten in athletic events they reached the stage of resignation. Every Sophomore class before them had gone down in defeat. They must be brave and keep courageous. So they arranged to entertain the proud Freshmen and worked day and night in preparation. If the class of 1910 could not be successful in athletics it could at_ least show the college that it had histrionic ability. Two farces were given on the same evening. Professor Robinson and a Per- plexing Situation which acted as an e.xcellent prescription for the blues. Shortly after Christmas the 1910 class, rich in the wealth of an un- found Treasury, took a Trolley Ride to Boone. The memories of this notable occasion will never x - be foreotten hv the Mennuksuonks in theFr struggles to pay the class debts. Early in the spring the Sophomorites invited the Sophomore boys to a picnic just south of the swinging bridge. After supper they all gathered around a big bonfire and sang songs and told stories. Thus many little stunts made the time pass pleasantly until one bright day the Mennuksuonks bid a sad farewell to their days as under- classmen. With the fall of 1908 came the responslbihties of the Junior Year. First and foremost was the Junior Trot. In honor of the Honnat- gades who were soon to depart to new fields the Mennuksuonks gave a farewell feast. They led them with torches over a long cir- cuitous route and finally to a street carnival. Fortune Tellers, Clowns, House of Wonder and many mysterious things were waiting for their enter- tainment. In the class football games the lO ' s were defeated but the girls nobly won the honors in tennis. Thus working on the 1910 Bomb and the Junior class play we leave the Mennuksuonks. Only another short year they too will be gone. Here ' s trusting to their success in the future as in the past. i3(gns3i!;is]snKa© C. E. Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Adams, Harold E Mike. Class Football.

The season of 1908 opened with a very bright oatlook. Coach Hurry Up, Williams had been retained and he immediately pro- ceeded to develop the new material to fill the vacancies on the sqoad. Jack Watson was found to be quite optimistic and always ready with a good word for the new men. Jack always lived up to his expression of being Johnny at the rat hole. Captain Fred Law, although a little late in getting into camp, rapidly overcame the loss of two weeks training and before the sea- son was over won the praise of all the noted western football critics. Fritz was truly a grand old captain. ' trimmage fSJoOTBALL practice on State Field showed that interest in the great game was increasing at I. S. C There were more men on the field than at the beginning of any previous season and the candidates for Varsity worked hard to get into condition for the first game which was with Morningside. It was found that the Methodists merely furnished a good practice as likewise did Coe College the follow- ing Saturday. Hope ran high for it was thought that the Cyclones had a chance to win from Minnesota. However the Gopher management de- manded that the game be played under the Big Eight Rules, this proving two of the team ' s main stays, Jeanson and Brugger, ineligible and greatly lessening their chance to carry off the victory. The Cyclones played a fine game but met defeat at the hands of the officials. The game looked something like the below: The squad was badly worn out by the trip and the hard game against the Gophers so that when the team met Cornell a week later the characteristic, full of Pep, style of play was lacking. The result was a defeat much deplored by the Cardinal and Gold . ,( ' n (r.:T- ' r ' ' ' ottwtHSfw ii iMt ;Jb?, ' -a- ' iKiiif7ii-aMf .S w PHIL. ALLEN STARS FOR MINNESOTA. After a few days rest the Cyclones met tfie Soutfi Dakota crew in a sea of mod and water. The game was spectacular and amusing; the Varsity having regained their Pep easily brought home the victory. Prospects were very dubious when the team started south to meet the Missouri team. The men stood the trip well and entered the game with snap and ginger that was mar- velous. New plays were tried repeatedly resulting in a hard earned victory for Ames. This brought about a decided rise of enthusiasm among the student body at I. S. C. On to Omaha was then the cry, as that was the scene of the next game. Great preparations were made for it, new yells were produced in I. O. C. R. meetings and a sale of boosters ribbons brought forth funds for the transportation of the faithful Dutch Band. The day was ideal for the great game: the team was in the best of spirits and went into the game with vim backed by some five hundred rooters. When the last whistle sounded the score was in favor of the Cornhuskers, but Ames had fought from the very first, holding the score to a tie until the last few minutes when Pip Cooke sprung one of King Cole ' s clever fakes, which resulted in another touchdown for the Nebraskans. The chance for the Missouri Valley Championship now be- ing lost, Ames prepared to defeat Grinnell and Drake. The former proved quite an easy proposition, judging from the score, while the latter was not beaten until the Cyclones had put forth their best effo rts. Since Grinnell had defeated Cornell and the Old Gold had bowed to the Blue and White, the State Championship now rested securely with Ames. EeguUg of ti)e easJon J908. Morningside . Ames J8 Coe .

At first not much interest was shown for it was necessary to go down town to the Armory for practice and even then the accommodations were poor and the floor space limited. However a few of the boys worked faithfully and with Jo2 Brown as captain, Coach Williams got a team together and started on a heavy schedule which consisted of fourteen games with the best teams in the state and the Missouri Valley Conference. Having had but a short time for practice the team went south on a trip meeting Missouri University, Kansas University, also the Kansas Aggies, Nebraska Wesleyan, and Nebraska Uni- versity. The team won none of these games but gained a lot of experience which proved of great value to it in the games which followed. After working out on the small floor at the Armory, then to play on floors many times as large, rather bewildered the boys. This one feature was not a little responsible for so many defeats. The team came home, continued to work hard and from this time on made a better showing, taking a game from Nebraska and later one from Drake. Grinnell, the strongest team in the state, proved too much for the Varsity and annexed both games but the Cardi- nal and Gold retaliated by taking two more from Drake. This finished the schedule and everyone felt that the team had done its best. The prospects for a strong team next year are very good, although Fred Law will be missed greatly at guard. There are some strong players in the Freshman class who should help considerably in filling the vacancy on the team. Howard M. Herbert was elected to the captaincy and he with the old men together with the new material may place Ames in a position to bid for the state title in the future. €xo Countrp SlHE season of 1908 saw the beginning of this branch of athletics and judging from the interest taken in the event, it will be a permanent institution. A five mile course extending from the old training shed at the college, to Ontario and back; had been de- cided upon. Forty candidates entered the contest; several of them having had longer training than others, were handicapped accordingly. Shanks Kemler made the course in the fastest time, this was probably due to his having accompanied Stantie on his railway survey. This is how they finished: Clapper Sophomore 28;J0 Clarkson Freshman 30 160 Campbell Senior 31 :30 Kemler Junior 27:30 THE START vatk Cbentg for 1908, THE season of ' 08 opened with an en- thusiastic meeting of track men in Engi- neering HalL At this meeting the Messrs WiIIian:s, Watson, and Beyer talked to the men, and the effect could well be noticed. Jack ' ' was becoming enthusiastic to the big bunch of men that were turning out each afternoon, and every one was optimistic. The men that started out were soon con- verted into a regiment and then into squads for the work out. The home meet was one of the most im- portant meets — and all were anxious to see where lay the hidden treasures. Some showed up well but they had not trained long enough under Jack to hold the old men down. Consequently the largest number of scores went to the Juniors, The Sophomores and Seniors fought hard for second place and the Freshmen easily won fourth. This meet decided who should represent the college in the spring athletics, and, as was an- ticipated, there were some great surprises. The Freshmen, tho ' they lost in the home meet learned a few hunches ' which enabled them to defeat West High by a score of 85 to 50. The elevens showed up some good material and when they are out from under the conference rules they will undoubtedly add a number of men to the varsity. Next came the date with Drake, a perfect spring day — and Ames in fine condition. The Drakies had to eat cinders throughout the meet which ended with a final score of 90 to 4 J in favor of Ames, Now the enthusiasm surged to a higher pitch than at the be- ginning and the Aggies lay in wait for the Grinnell team. Saturday, May, 9, 08, was one of the finest days ever wished for and the Ames squad went to the field, enthusiastic but not sure of victory. In spite of the prophecy of twenty points, at least, in the lead for Grinnell, the Ames boys walked them to a tune of 73.J for Ames and 62§ for Grinnell, Again there were great hopes for the state meet! The next event was the first annual meet of the M. V. A. A. held at Kansas City, Missouri, May, 23, ' 08. It was not a day for athletics at all, being very rainy and muddy, so that no new rec- ords were established. There was no way of selecting the winning college as the condition of the track left the victory merely to team work and endurance. The Ames men showed up strong and each one did his individual part with such determination that a final score stood: Ames 52, Missouri 22, Drake J4, Washington ii, Kansas 9, Nebraska 8, and Iowa 7. Ames has started out to win these meets with a large margin to fall back on in case any surprises might occur. With the successive scalps of Drake, Grinnell and the Conference teams, the Aggies started for the Drake stadium on May 29, ' 08. The track was in fair shape but not good. The previous meet held at Kansas City was a deadener to the Ames men who, con- sequently, were not in such good condition as were the Grinnell men who had rested for a couple of weeks. But nevertheless the Ames fellows had the fighting spir it with them and the rooters were back of them all the time. They were unable however to bring their number of points above the total of the Grinnell scores and so Ames fell back to a close second. Just to show that I. S. C. was in the field Cy raised the distance in the hammer throw to 139 feet eight inchees, and Biddie lessened the time in the half mile, bringing it down to I ;57.3 While we lost in the state meet there is no doubt that Ames is much stronger than any other one college — and if the victory had been decided by a series of dual meets, the top of the list would have been I. S. C. In the Conference meet at Chicago Wag took second in the two mile a very fast race, time, — 9:56.2, Cy took second in the hammer and Davie third in the half mile. iS-5 5 oi s s 3,: 3 Hu:: .oqS S: «i ' si = c - ?|ome Jfielb Jileet pril 18, 1908 Events First Second Third Record 100- Yd.

STATE MEETI 0m 0 vmpit Eepresientatibe To make a horry-up trip into Chicago two nights before the state meet for the purpose of competing in the Olympic trials, only to find them postponed to the same date as the Iowa meet: — forced to return that same night to Des Moines in order to represent I. S. C. at the Stadium, thus giv- ing up a very promising opportunity of making the Olympic squad; to be placed on the reserve list of the American team, notwithstanding his failure to attend the try-outs, to be sent by his friends to com- pete in the World ' s games at London, and to enjoy a three months trip abroad: — such was the varied experience of Clarke B. Beard, the state champion half-miler in the summer of J908. After the state meet where he anne xed a record for I. S. C, Biddy left for New York and sailed with the American team for England. He participated in the Fourth Olympical held at Shep- herd ' s Bush, London, and won his heat in the 800 meter run, (de- feating Astley, the 06 English champion), which qualified him for the final. In speaking of the race Beard said I experienced sea- sickness on the voyage over, the effects of which I could not throw off even — after being landed some time, and as a result was in poor condition. Of course, this fact made no material difference in the final as that bunch were too fast for me. Good form, however, might have enabled me to have kept within gunshot, at least, of Sheppard. After the close of the games, Biddy, in company with Harry Huff, the Grinnell sprinter, took a hurried trip through the continent, visiting Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and France. He was with the American team in New York during the glorious cele- bration attending its home-coming and reports some great enter- tainment, the climax of which was the trip to Oyster Bay as the guests of President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill. IBasietialL The baseball season of J908 was a not- able one, not since the ssason of J904 has a team finished the entire season without more than one defeat, and unfortunately this one game was lost under a handicap due to the enforcement of the Missouri Valley Conference rules, which barred three regular men from participating in the game. However this same handi- capped team played the Missouri Univer- sity Tigers to a 2 — 2 tie and broke even in the two games with Drake. The season was dotted throughout with exceptionally good games. In some cases even possible defeats were turned into remarkable victories. Games worthy of mention were those with Missouri, Grinnell, Minnesota and Coe. The game with Missouri previously mentioned, ended in a 2 — 2 tie. The game being called in the 8th inning in order to enable the Tigers to catch a train. In the Minnesota game Ames took the lead from the start and maintained it, throughout by desperate fighting, the game terminating in a 4 — i victory. The game was characterized all through by snappy ball. The Grinnell game was another hard fought one in which victory only peeped out over a t — score. The game going J3 innings to decide the b.attle. The score of the season however, was given us by the scrappy little team from Cedar Rapids. The game being filled throughout with spectacular plays which brought great volumes of applause. From the start and up until the last half of the 9th inning Coe led us by a i — margin but this situation only caused Clyde Williams to rake slightly over his baseball knowledge— two substitutions wer; made in the batting list and the game was turned into a neat 2 — J victory. Unfortunately, through the severance of athletic relations, Ames did not meet Iowa on the diamond but nevertheless Ames has clear title to the state championship for Iowa lost to teams that were easily defeated by Ames.

Although young in years, it is already national in scope as well as in name, having chapters in several of the leading colleges and uni- versities. Its purpose is to promote the study and investigation of technical agriculture, to secure a higher degree of scholarship and to foster the spirit of brotherhood in our vocation. The purely honorary character of the fraternity is insured by the provisions of its national constitution. Eligibility to membership is limited to the upper two-fifths of the Junior and Senior Agricultural classes. ' MEMBERS IN FACULTY. R. E. Buchanan, John Bower, W. F. Coover, C F.

Alpha Zeta, an honorary-technical fraternity was founded at the University of Ohio, October, 1897. Wilson Chapter was installed in Iowa State College, November 26, 1905. At the present time Alpha Zeta has nineteen chapters in the leading Agricultural Col- leges of this country. The purpose of the fraternity is to bring together agricultural students of high ideals and excellence in scholarship for the purpose of developing these men into more manly, more cultered and more efficient agricultural workers. Alpha Zeta has accomplished much in his splendid work as is proven by the very large number of her alumni members who oc- cupy places of the greatest importance in the development of the world ' s agriculture. The last bi-ennial conclave of the fraternity was held at Cornell University, July, J 908. MEMBERS IN FACULTY. W, H. Stevenson S. A. Beach J. B. Davidson E. N. Wentworth I. O. Schaub L. Greene B. W.

Tau Beta Pi was founded as an honorary engineering association at Lehigh University in J885. Its growth in the East and West has been simultaneoas, chapters being granted to only the most efficient scientific schools and colleges. The Chapter roll now numbers twenty- one. The local Chapter, Iowa Alpha, was nineteeth, having been installed in December, 1907. The object is, by banding together in a social and professional way those who have honored their Alma Mater as students or graduates, to advance the spirit of liberal culture in the Engineering Schools of America. The membership is composed entirely of Juniors, Seniors and graduates. To be eligible a student must stand in the upper fourth of his class as regards scholarship. To be elected he must further- more show himself to be a true type of a man. FACULTY MEMBERS. L. B. Spinney, H. C. Ford. F. G. Allen, STUDENT MEMBERS. C. S. Nichols, L. V. Hftes, Dan Craig, H. K.

Its success from the first was phenominal and other schools have watched its progress with interest. At frequent intervals meetings arc held at which papers of interest to the fraternity are read and discussed, and the daily class work reviewed. New men are selected during the second term of their Junior year and initiated just before the close of the spring semester. In this way the active membership is limited to the Senior class.

Tudor Fuller Hutchison ORATORICAL CONTEST— ' 08. On November twentieth, J908 was held the annual oratorical contest. Six societies, the Pythian, Phileleutheroi, Welch, Philoma- thean, Crescent, and Bachelor were represented. The contest was close, every contestant doing excellent work. The result of the decision was as follows; Mr. Shirley W. Allen of the Bachelor society won first place his subject being: The Conservatory of Our National Resources. Mr. O. W. Johnson of the Crescents won second with American Public Sentiment. Mr. C. R. Bush of the Phileleutherois was placed third. His oration was The Power of Personality. ' SHIRLEY W. ALLEN. Mr. Allen is a very popular and deserving student, a member of the ' 09 class. He has a masterful oration on a timely subject, and with his clear, strong, forceful delivery will do credit to I. S. C. in the state contest to be held at Morningside College, March 5, 1909. DECLAMATORY CONTEST ' 08. Oratorical — won by: — Rex Edgecomb — Bachelor, — The Man Who Gave Us An Empire. Second : — J. H. Burlingame — Phileleutheroi — The New South. Dramatic — won by: — Edna Barker— Quill— The Absent Guest. Second : — R. G. Andrews — Crescent — The Prisoner ' s Plea. OUR DEBATING TROPHY AND ITS DONOR. IS. C. holds a creditable place in inter-collegiate forensics, despite the fact that the lack of incentive has sometimes hampered contests within the school. But a new era is about to open up in inter-society debates; in fact it has already been ushered in by the splendid contests of the past year. The incentive which has commenced and is to continue stimulating these contests is the Kennedy Debating Trophy, — a magnificent silver cup placed at the disposal of the literary societies by Prof. Willard John Ken- nedy of the Animal Husbandry department. Prof. Kennedy is a graduate of I. S. C, having finished with the class of ' 99. He is a member of the honorary fraternity A Z, is a competent, and popular instructor, and his donation to the literary societies as well as his whole college career mark him as one of the most loyal supporters of the college. i ythian Bachelor W.lol.

That it has accomplished these things is evidenced by the fraternalism of its members, by the excellence of its programs and by its evolution from a small organization to the largest in the institution. Its growth has been steady, rugged, and healthy; due not only to the loyal support of the students but also to the harmonious co- operation of the faculty. Its officers for the spring of J909 are; Dr. C H. Stange, Honorary President, Dr. R. R. Dyfcstra, Honorary Secretary. F. W. Larson, President. G. C Stong, Vice President. J. R. Underwood, Critic. P.

' THE EVOLUTION OF THE PREP. The prep comes here with aims so mighty, By Jove! You ' d not think him the least bit flighty, And say! He thinks he ' s sore to make a rep ' He has such piles and piles of pepr; But under the old general he goes hep, hep, hep. Into athletics the prep does sail, By Jove! To make a star he ' ll surely not fail, But say! As a basket ball player he loses out; On the diamond too he proves a lout : Athletics are not his forte, no doubt. To Margaret Hall the prep now turns. By Jove! Within his heart ambition burns. But say! By maidens all he ' s made a clown; The fairest one docs turn him down; Here ' s no hope of renown. And now the prep, ambition flown. By Jove! Sets his heart opon nothing alone, And say! At the art of nothing he makes a good sport. At last, at last he has reached port, At doing nothing, he ' s found his forte. —WANTED.— By Association Hall Cafe Extract of Milk Flavor for breakfast food fluid, Hash, Re- Hash, Socot-Hash, and Cold Ca-hash.

We Jun- iors had a class meeting last night and the big majority of the class wanted to show their appreciation of me by electing me secre- tary of the class. They ' d done it too alright too if it hadn ' t been for Van Meter (he ' s president) refusing to recognize my nomination and throwing out my vote. Van ' s one of them ladies ' men, so of course he wanted to stand by custom and have one of these tilted- nosed coeds voted in. But by hec they don ' t run any sandy on me! Do you think I ' d be justified in giving Van Meter a trouncing? Your principle-loving son, C H. Kemler. Dear Tom: — I haven ' t written you for a deuce of a long time; fact is, I have been too busy. I ' ve cut out football and other athletics and have substituted a regular course in campus lab (that ' s the stuff I told you about last summer). This is a devil of a good course, — when you get used to it; I like it better all the time. Say old pal, I ' m getting to be a bird at Mag Hall! The way those girls flock around me isn ' t slow, and you had ought to see the Madam! She almost worships me. If I can only flunk Calc this term so that I can come back another year or two I ' ll never ask another favor from the faculty. Your crony, Tod Willets. Prof. R. Weirick, Ames, Iowa. Dear Sir : — We have been fortunate enough to secure Governor Hisey on a year ' s contract and during this time he will appear exclusively for us in vaudeville. We feel, however, that we should have a work- ing companion for the Governor, one, the eloquence of whose pen ever flows rippling on in a placid lily-scented and aimless stream as does that stream of spoken eloquence which effervesces with every breath from the lips of Hon. Hisey. In asking you to sign with OS we wish you to remember that your duties will be light for one of your experience and ability. You will only be expected to keep the Governor s gas tank charged to overflowing. Hence, you will have abundant opportunity to wrinkle your toes in the am- bient atmosphere of the fragrant alfalfa meadows along Squaw Creek. Yours truly, Pictoral Graftem, Mgr.

IL But ' twas said a lovely maiden, Good as she was fair to see, Locked within the topmost story- Studied trigonometry. III. Studied, worked and knew no respite, For a jailer cruel she had Who cared little when the maiden Looked at her with glances sad. IV. Suddenly a whistle sound, Chi Rho floated on the air, Followed closely by another Alpha Pi, O music rare! V. Ah! another floated downward! Was this whistle in reply? O, ye Fates! be kind and cautious For the jailer dwells near by! VI. Now temptation entered swiftly Floating softlv heavenward, Maiden fair, come down and meet me Grip beside me on the sward. VII. Don t you see the stars are shining Shining just for you and me, Maiden fair, I want you near me, Seated ' neath the cannon tree. VIII. Slowly wafted on the breezes Came the answer, Wait below! Maiden, think what you are doing Think! O, think before you gfo! IX. Down the stairway quickly tripping Gliding swiftly past the room Where the jailer sat awaiting Lest some noise sound in this tomb. X. Closing softly doors behind her Soon beneath the stars she stood Met the waiting gallant shyly, As a maid of eighteen should. XL No, at least I saw no sign, Did the Madame see you leaving;? Of her standing in the hall way If she did, she ' ll give me mine. XII. Slowly strolled they toward the loglets Talking, laughing on their way, When he asked her to be seated Could the maiden shy say Nay? XIII. So she willingly accepted Gayly chatting all the while. For she knew these logs and cannons chumming here was all the style. XIV. Suddenly in consternation. Up she jumped in wild despair, O, come on, we must be going Or the Madam ' II tear my hair. XV. So they sped, across the ampus But alas! O maiden gay, Little guessed yoo what was coming Til the jailer blocked your way. XVI. Maiden, stop, explain your actions, ' O ye Fates! how harsh they fall! Why this chumming on a school n-ght When you should be in the hall? xvn. O, ' twas chance ! the maiden faltered Then she stopped in mild surprise For the jailer quickly answered, Child, I have both ears and eyes. XVIII. Ah! to think a single maiden Dwelling ' hind this red brick wall. Would degrade herself so grossly, Con e down at a young man ' s call. XIX. Grimly were these last wor s uttered.

ELL class, this morning we ' ll take up next the Shorthorns now that we are done with the Her- fords. (Attendant leads out Herfords and Prof. K. — continues). There ' s one thing I want to mention right here in my lecture on Shorthorns and that is their relation to the college barber shop. When any of you fellows have any work dons by these barbers, scientifically known as ton- sorialis parisiticus (take all this down in your notes), you will be required to make a deposit of a nominal fee for the privilege of coming under this civilizing influence. This charg e will be based on the nature of the work done and not on the amount of filamen- tous covering known in common parlance as hair, that the barber removes from your head or face. To make this point very clear, the price of a shave is ten cents and if you have your neck shaved, that is five cents extra. A common hair cut such as some of you need is twenty-five cents, while a pompadour, or Sophomore cut is fifty cents. If you have a shampoo, or in other words, a treatment much like Dipolene for sheep, that will cost you twenty-five cents; and if when you are through with this ordeal, you call for an application of tonic that will hasten the day for another visit to the Herpicide emporium, that will cost you another dime. Now when you have had all this done, if you say yes when the barber asks you if you want a massage, it will set you back just a quarter. How many of you knew what a massage is? Well that ' s where the barber takes some velveteen creamosis from a glass jar and smears it all over your face and then disinfects his hands by severely rubbing all their barberorum itchis germs into the wrinkles and creases of your face. That ' s all this morning. Tomorrow we will take up the Polled Angus. ' ♦WHY? I. When I was six, a tiny maid, And sometimes very naughty too. My mother used to shake her head And say that this would never do. Then with a glance of deep distress And looking just as if she d cry. She ' d tell be just how bad I was. And then would always ask me, Why II. One hope I held, with childish gflee, A nd that was, — when away at school I never more need hear that word. But hope no more, — there ' s where lu ips rule. JtJst n) ij). how very small it sounds But O how very great it is. When once ' tis asked in Chem or Zo And worse by far when said in Phys. m. I went to chem with spirits high, I thought that it would be immense, To me it meant two labs a week And doing some experiments. First thing I tried to burn the lab, Pale faced I fled, a Prof-went by, A hand detained me, then a voice, ' You see it burned, but tell me wh . IV. Of course Zo couldn ' t be so bad, I turned to it with hopes renewed. Alas for hope! in this dead place, My spirits soon were quite subdued. Some sharks have lungs, I found While others climb up trees or fly, I thought it queer but rather fun, Until confronted by a ip ip, V. out there, Dismayed with Zo I fled to Phys, In Phys I surely could not fail. For I had memorized with care, AH facts regarding the ice pail. With pride I rose and made my speech. And sat down sighing with relief, Instead of praise a why came forth, O ! This was surely past belief ! VL D. E. I turned to finally. With hope that there my trials might end, I wanted so to lose that word I thought D. E. might prove my friend. My friend indeed! O, give me Zo, L.Uid lifc .U .; B And Chem labs, too, and even Phys ! ! I never heard so many wh Sf They seemed to rush forth with a whizz. VIL In sanitation, soon we learned.

Now my potato might have burst To help me out, it seemed to me. IX. Then when at last, worn out by mhy. I left my room to take a walk. The matron overlooked my books. And always stopped me for a talk. She ' d tell me just how girls should act, I ' d trembling say that I would try But in my room, I puzzled oft. To stroll was wrong; I wondered irhji, X. And then one night I dreamed of n iij, A Why stood there beside my bed And grinning with a fiendish glee.

When the coddling moth inserts its proboscis under the external epidermis of the embryonic green apple it lays an egg. The egg hatches into a larva which eats vast quantities of green apples. Then the larva crawls to the ground and pupates. The audience of old Dutch farmers which hitherto had been rather aghast at Bliss ' long names sits up and takes notice. Pupates and green apples furnish the key. Evidently green apples do not agree with worms. The farmers now sit listening expzctantly. A PSALM OF A PREP. i. 2. 3. 4. 5. The Soph is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to arise from my comfortable bed at the midnight hour: he leadeth me by the still inter-orban track; Yea, far into the still country out of the clutches of Prexy and the Cardinal Guild leadeth he me. Though I walk through the valley of Zumwalt or the college park, blind-folded and with the left ap- pendage of my pantaloons rolled up to my knee, I shall fear no evil at the hands of Westfall or the proctors: for thou art with me; thy barrel-stave and tonic paddle they comfort me. Thou makest me to do stunts in the presence of mine enemies: thou makest me to run the gauntlet and to bark at the moon; thou compel- lest me to sing Auld Lang Syne to the tune of Cuddle Up a Little Closer. Surely humbleness and contritness of spirit will be mine ever; and I shall continue to sing praises unto thee for thy loving kindness. HERODOTUS DESCRIBES L S. C AT CHAPEL TIME. In the course of my extensive travels over the world I have visted many wonderful places. For some time now I have been ob- serving the peculiarities of a wonderful institution on the far western edge of the world. There is one peculiar habit which the extraordinary students of this unusual school observe. For a short space of time before the JOth hour in the morning they have intermission. The students now may do one of two things. They gather together to worship the great Unknown Being or they congregate in a wonderful structure of Doric architecture to w orship Venus. The devotees of the Un- known Being are very few in numbers; but the devotees of the study of the beautiful increase day by day. Let me describe the interior of Cupid ' s temple during the hour of the worship of Venus. Fair maidens and youths stroll by in bevies. They chatter vivaciously; they whisper; they laogh; they exchange tender glances. The beautiful head dresses of the maidens; their bright dresses lend color. The brilliantly dressed youths give variety. All is joy. Nearby the sombre youths and maidens sing mournful songs but this does not disturb the happiness of Cupid ' s followers. PUBLIC RECITAL.

BREED TYPE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME OF THE COM- MON SPECIES OF DOMESTICATED FACULTY AT L S. C Summerii Bogski; — This is one of our rarest and most peculiar breeds. It is to be feared, however, that it will evolve at length into a race with no breadth nor thickness and but the one dimension, that of length.

The POPE, he looks around for trouble; He looks both far and near: He finds it close at hand, a bubble: The BOMB, he does not fear. The POPE, he calls on five good clubs. Five clubs so strong and great: He shouts come on, come on, you dubs. The BOMB shall meet its fate. The fight it raged with deadly force: Strong men the dust did bite; But when the battle ran its course. The POPE, he was nowhere in sight. Professor made his bow; The trouble then was caged: The students, they do wonder now, O er what the fight was raged.

I come to Ames a poor, ignorant Mexican schoolboy very much anxious to learn whole lots about the higher education in agri- cultura. But O, so disappointed that I am. In Mexico I hear so very much about the far famed Professor Curtiss and the much noted Senor Holden. Where are these? I come to Ames to have them teach me but them do I not see. The Senor Holden has much ex- tended business over the state and him have I never seen. And the great Professor Curtiss he is so busy. Much important business do he have at the Legislature in Des Moines. One Merican boy say to me that there are nowhere a man like Professor Curtiss for working the Legislature. There are other great men who I wanted for to teach me agricultura. Some day I may have them when I get old enough and learn enough to come underneath their worthy notice. One great man I specially admire. Him I see at the great State Fair in Des Moines. He have a cane on his arm and he stand in the cattle ring looking long and steadfastly at the big black cows. He look at one big cow lovingly and tears come in his eyes. I see not this great man again until late in the fall when he return full of honors and blue ribbons. O! What a great man! Some day four years from now he may teach me. You ask what now do I have for teachers? I have some very good teachers but they are what yoa would call muchachos, boys. Some day when they have practiced enough on poor preps like me and have gained fame in so doing, some big school will take them away. Then Ames she take more muchachos and feed them on preps till they grow strong and vigorous enough for another school. SOCIAL LIFE AT I. S. C By Carlos Caballos. The social life at Ames is at the height of peculiarity. The senoritas here are about so plentiful as the teeth in the mouth of a very aged hen. The few specimens of the sex weakest and fairest which are yet preserved here, are gathered as bees around the clover blossom, the more favored ones of the sex strongzr. These fair ones are Oh! so generous, so kind, so long patient and suffering, but there are not enough honey to furnish to all the busy bees and some must go away hungry and angry. Oh ! Such care that are taken of these uncommon maidens. They are watched by the eye, keen and eagle, but the adoring ones will find a way. They do what is call the library stunt. Oh! what a beautiful graft this am. It works thusly. A damozel, She flamozel With excuse thin, the matron stern; She most, she say read English XII. At eight o ' clock on Tuesday eve. This maiden fair. She does repair To library and reads; She see her youth, he wink his eye; The reading now is o ' er. The maiden coy. Now with her boy Do stroll the Campus o ' er. The night is fine, the moon doth shine; How great a joy is stolen sweets. MILITARY DRILL AT L S. C By Carlos Caballos. I come to Ames with O such feeling of grand respect for the power of this wonderful United States. One afternoon at I. S. C. I see drill for the first time in all its magnificent glory and grandeur. What a sight for a Mexican school boy ! Hundreds of stalwart, blue clad American youth marching majestically back and forth across the campus. Deep feelings of patriotism arouse within my breast. What a country are the United States and what a school am I. S. C. Two days later I hear students making disrespect remarks about this wonderful Drill. One even say he do not like to take it. This can I not understand. By and by I see that all students except General Lincoln and his officers abhor Drill to the utterly. They heap ignominies of reproach upon it. When a student takes Drill they say he preps for then he doeth a deed worthy only of those lowest of beings who are called by that ever disgraceful name PREP. To not take Drill various grafts the American youth use. The American youth he turn Quaker, he develop unexpected stomach ache in the little toe, or maybe he show very tremendous ability at the stunts, athletic. Some say that the Quaker church here re- ceive great impetus from the students of evading Drill. One stu- dent have rheumatism in the thumb and thus am he incapacitated ever more from taking Drill. Another student he see Prexie and talk to him the soft words of candy. He say he am too poor to buy one of those beautiful blue suits. Another youth he take to the cinder path and talk the Beautiful Sounds to Jack Watson. Jack comfort him and tell him that he sure am a rising star and such must never take Drill. From all this I receive much instruction. When I go home to Mexico I will teach my people the art of graft- ing and of shooting the Beautiful Sounds. pig. tuntg of tije gear Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept.
