XICHOLS is a native of New England. He was born in the town of Farmington, Connecticut, Init while yet a youth moved to Iowa where he received his education in the schools of the state. He obtained his first degree, that of Bachelor of Didactics, from the State Normal. After this he taught a few years, then entered the State University from which he graduated in 1887 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. After his graduation he became an instructor in mathematics at the University, which position he held until 1890, when he accepted the Professorship of Physics at K. S. A. C. Upon the resignation of President Thos. E. Will he was selected as Acting Presi- dent, and later, in 1899, became President. At the time President Nichols assumed control K. S. A. C. was small and practically unknown even within the borders of the state. Politics had dominated its government and had played a large part in the choosing of the board of instruction. The College had for years been suffering from want of funds and in general it was a crippled institution in several ways, of which the President took charge in 1899. A look backward over the ten years since that time shows a wonderful development. The College has grown by leajxs and bounds. The enrollment has almost been trebled. Building upon building has been added to the city on the hill, until today K. S. A. C. is the foremost college of its kind in the world. We do not mean to be understood as attributing all this wonderful growth to President Nichols, but a good share is due to his guidance and wise foresight. The extent of his incessant labor, of the trials and diffi- culties which he encountered and the patience and forbearance required will perhaps never be known. He was always in sympathy with and encouraged all worthy student enterprises, and although his finnness in what he believed to l)e the right in his dealings with students often brought the latter to grief, it was all for the best in the end. President Nichols ' resignation, which was tendered to the Board of Regents a year ago, will take effect July 1, 1909. It is probable that he will be asked to remain for at least a year longer. Whether or not he will remain the class of ' 09 have only the kindliest feelings and deejjest regard for their President under whose supervision they s]ient four of the happiest vears of their lives.

THE Kansas State A;4ricultural College owes its loeation to the pioneers of Manhattan. As early as 1857 when the buffaloes were still numerous in the northern part of Riley County, an association was formed to build a college in or near Manhattan to be under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Kansas and to be called Bluemont Central College. The charter was granted February 9. 1858. A site of 100 acres was selected for the institution, about ime mile west from town. The cornerstone was laid with elaborate ceremony May 10. 185 ' ' . and the institution was opened for the reception of students one year after- ward. Upon the admission of Kansas as a state. January 29, 1861, the founding of a State University became a probability, and the trustees of Bluemont College were almost successful in locating that institution at Man- liattan by offering their building for this purpose. A little over a year later another chance presented itself for the college to become a state institution. When on July 2, 1862, the Agricultural College Act was passed by Congress, the trustees offered it once more to the Legislature, and this time the offer, consisting of 100 acres of land, A plain three-story stone building measuring -14x60 feet and containing a chapel, a library with several hundred volumes, and some illustrative ap- I ' aratus. valued altogether at about $25,000, was accepted. The charter provided for four departments — science and literature, mechanic arts, agriculture, and military tactics. Of these that of science and literature was put into operation. The course was laid out to cover four years, with an indefinite preparatory department, and conformed closely with that of Bluemont Central College. The first catalogue gives the names of ninety-four students in the jireparatory department and fourteen in the college ])ro])er. During the first ten years ; that is, during the Presidency of Dr. Joseph Denison, the college grew, slowdy. Up to 1873 onl)- fifteen students had graduated, while the number of students in any one term never reached 125. anrl these vere mostly from Riley and the adjoining counties. The reason for this slow growth must be looked for in many direc- tions: The newness of- the state, the western location of ] Ianhattan, the inadequacy of means, the founding of rival literary institutions at Law- rence, Baldwin and Topelca. and the fact that industrial education was in its experimental stage. President Denison and a numlxr of the professors were classic students, and had no faith in the educational results of tech- nical iu ' -truction not connected with classics. They planned to add elective ■Aiirk in practical science and a])i)lied mathematics to the old education, 24 but it was intended to supplement, and not supplant, this. Aside from occa- sional lectures on general topics, little was done for agriculture and the mechanic arts. It should not be assumed, however, that the institution failed in doing good work in its class rooms. The Literary Department was second to no higher school of the kind in the state. It soon become apparent to the Board of Regents that the dry and stony piece of upland upon which the college building stood was unsuited for the purpose of conducting agricultural and horticultural experiments. The final result of many discussions of the matter was that in July, 1871, Two valuable tracts of land were purchased, one of which became the present site of the college. The city of Manhattan, frightened over the repeated attempts of zealous friends of the State University at Lawrence to con- solidate the Agricultural College with that institution, contributed $12,000. tJie result of a bond election. A solid stone fence was built around the whole tract, and the erection of a large barn commenced, a broad corniced, massive-looking stone structure, with numerous wings, towers, stairways, elevators and offices. The barn was never completed and the finished west wing served its purpose for a short time only. It was afterward turned into a class room building and still later into a drill hall and museum, known today as the Armory. In 1871 a Professor of Agriculture was appointed and means were provided for the purchase of stocks, teams and implements. The next year a Veterinary Department was organized but was discontinued in 1874 for want of means and patronage. A Military Department organized some years previously met with the same fate. In 1873 the college was recognized and a new board appointed. The school of literatifre was discontinued and thosekof agriculture and mechanic arts were organized. In order to provide better accommodations for the students, the departments of instruction were removed from the old farm to the new one, where the finished wing of the barn was fitted up for class rooms. Workshops in iron and wood, a printing office, a telegraph office, a kitchen laboratory, and a sewing room were equipped and provided with instructors, and fifty minutes of educational manual labor was added to the dailv work of every student. Three years later the course of study was reduced to four years, i. c, the preparatory course was abolished, the teaching of Latin, German and French discontinued, and the reciuirements for admission lowered so as to connect the institution directly with the better grade of public schools. In 1877 the main part of the present barn was constructed and in 1878 the cornerstone of the north wing of the main college hall was laid and part of the building completed in February, 1879. The election of President George T. Fairchild in 1879 was followed by a period of progress. The collegiate year was divided into three nearly 26 M ' MI equal terms instead of two unequal terms as before. The course was strengthened by rearrangement of studies by connecting practice with theory; by introduction of stronger courses in place of elementary ones; by more definite classification of students, and by adding a term of psychol- ogy to the work of the fourth year, and English literature and engineering to the wdrk of the third. The system of industrial training was broad- ened by better arrangement in shops, farm and garden, kitchen laboratory, dairy and sewing rooms. In 1882 the c entral part of the main college building was finished, in 1884 its south wing, and in 1887 its chapel addition. Of other permanent improvements may be named the construction in 1885 of the north wing of the barn; the rebuilding of the Armory Hall in the same year; the placing in Mechanics Hal! of a steam engine and a number of fine work- ing machines, in 1885-1887; the building of a green-house in 1883; the enlargement of the Chapel in 1887: of the Horticulture Laboratory in 1888, and of the Horticulture barn in 1889. For the next eight or ten years building improvements were almost at a standstill. In 1897 Professor T. (i. . of the Department of Economics, was elected President and remained in the executive chair for two years. Dur- ir;g this period the college organized separate courses for the farmers, the mechanical engineers, and the young women who wished to study domes- tic science. A separate building, Kedgie Hall, now occupied by the Print- ing Department, was erected for the domestic science work. The attend- ance increased during these two vears from 7S4 in 1896-97 to 870 in l,90S-9(:). In 1899 Professor E. R. Nichols, of the Department of Physics, was elected President and remained at the head of the institution to the present date. The college grew rapidly during this decade. The students increased from 870 to 2,300, and the members of the board of instruction from 47 to 150. New courses were organized as follows: Electrical engineering in 1900, architecture in 1904, veterinary science in 1905, animal husbandry, dairying, poultry husbandry, forestry, civil engineering and printing in 1908. A large number of new buildings of magnificent size were erected in recent years : The Agricultural Hall, the Physics Piuilding, the Audi- torium, the Horticultural Hall, the Dairy Hall, the new Domestic Science and Art Hall, the ' eterinary Science Hall, and the new Engineering Hall which i ' in course of construction. The students in 1908 erected a fine y. M. C. A. Hall costing $40,000 and paid for it by voluntary contributions. The college is now the largest of the land grant institutions of Amer- ica. Its graduates are being recognized as practical scientists wherever rhey go and its experiment station and extension work is becoming tlie mode! ' for similar work all over the ' e-t.

Thus far it excelled any previous class in numbers, and great things were expected of the newcomers. Early in the term pink and brown were adopted as class colors. The desire to get acquainted soon manifested itself and resulted in a class party. The Gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the class colors as well as the many flowers and ferns that adorned various parts of the looms. It was a succe.s.? in every respect, all returning home feeling that our college career had really commenced as a class. Early in the winter term the ' 09 s showed their class spirit by purchas- ing class caps. The brown cap with the pink ' 09 soon attracted the atten- tion of the Sophomores, who, not satisfied by simply admiring them from a distance, sought to obtain a few as souvenirs. Very few were lost, however, but one m particular that was lost caused a spectacular commotion that was witnessed by about 2,000 spectators near the campus restaurant. To this day the event is known as the Battle of the Caps. During the winter term a masquerade party was given in the D. S. building. The night was cold and dark and dreary, but we were all there, and cold and rain were forgotten in the merry making. When the basket-ball season opened the boys ' team at once forged to the front and won the inter-class championship. The girl basket-ball team excelled all previous Freshman class records. In all class athletics the other classes followed the ' 09 lead. The first victory was over the Sophomores in foot-ball by a score of to 0, our second was basket-ball and the third base-ball. The spring term opened with various men in the tennis tournament which was easily taken by the Freshman contestant. Cross country runs were also indulged in and first place was won by an ' 09 athlete, who also broke the sta te record. In the inter-class track meet Seniors and Freshmen tied for first place. On the various college teams the class was well represented. Six men were furnished for the foot-ball squad, one for basket-ball, five for the track and two for the base-ball teams. Late in the spring term another class reception was given, this being in the Gymnasium. It was well attended arid a jolly good time was had by all present. The foregoing record promised well for future years, and looking back now over the vista of three years we realize these promising predictions fulfilled. 34 Soph omore ' 09 RAISING the cry of Rolio. Bolio, Rolio, Rine, K. A. C, K. A. C. Xineteen-nanght-nine, the ' 09 class marched steadily on into their Sophomore year. One of the first things done was to elect a president to rule over these wonderful iieings during the fall term. The girl to whom the honor fell was Grace Leuszler, and right well did she display her knowledge of Roberts ' Rules. The ' 09 s ' lext revised their constitution which has since become a model for all up-;o-date organizations and is classed with the Constitution of the United States, the Magna Charta and The Students ' Her. ld Constitution. The spirit to do and dare on the foot-ball field took hold of the men of ' 09 and they rushed forth. Although defeated in their game with the Freshmen they realized that there were other things to come in which they would stand second to no one and so they plodded on. Nothing of very great importance happened during the fall term, the ' 09 ' s pursuing their studies in a most diligent manner, thus setting an example worthy III praise for the less industrious ' O ' s, ' OS ' s and ' lO ' s. In the winter term H. B. Johnson directed the ways of the Sophomores. Early in the term, one Monday evening, when the icy blasts of a nor - wester almost drowned the sound of the Rolio, Bolio, a large number of ' 09ers gathered at the D. S. building. The reception was in honor of tlie new students who had come from far and near to swell the ranks of the ' 09 class — the class whose fame had spread abroad and kindled the ambition in many hearts to be one of them. Musical numbers, some orig- inal forms of amusement and refreshments of ]:)ink lemonade and brown wafers kept them until a late hour. The ' O ' l ' s did not allow a very long space of time to elapse before another of their famous good times materialized. One evening in the first week of I ' Y ' bruary a jolly bunch of Sophomores reveled in the snow and o ther things. They called it a sleigh ride and it was certainly worthy the name. Their yells and songs resounded through all parts of the town and elicited inquiry from the police force, but as soon as the marshal heard that the disturbers were members of the renowned Sophomore class he ;!unk away among the shadows, for often had he heard of the valiant and warlike deeds of the men of ' 09. It was in the winter term that the ' 09 basket-ball teams came to the front. In the (jirls ' Basket-Bail Tournament the Sophomore girls carried 36 oft ' i1k ' III mi ' 1-. Till. ' ' lO ' s were the tii t victims, losing the {(ame In ' a score of 2iS to 2. This merely sjjurreil the K ' rls on to fresh efforts for the cup. The Senior girls looking on with superior smiles were soon made to lealize that though the superiors of the Ws in college years they were their inferiors in basket-ball. This the Sophomores taught them to the tune of 26 to 5. thus obtaining the undisputefl title of champions and win- ning the . skren Trophy, . fter the game the cup was presented by I ' ro- fessor r.rink, who congratulated them. The members of the team who most certainly deserve all the praises sung about ilieiii were .Misses Leuszlcr. Selby, Sutclifi , Steele, Evans and Mosley. With such a good example from the girls the Sophomore boys could do no less, so they defeated the poor TO ' s with an overwhelming score. Then in the championship game they again were victorious and left the ' OS ' s in the depths of woe by a score of 34 to 14. The men who thus carried high the honors of ' 00 were Messrs. McXall (ca])tain). Johnson, Kittell. Blair, Citizen and Wood. Of course it was necessary to celebrate these victories and so one Mon- day evening in the early spring the Sophomores might have been seen wending their way toward the D. S. building. The guests of honor were the victorious teams. During the evening monograms were presented to those girls and boys who had so bravely and successfully brought honors to their class. In the spring term Casey Bonebrake led the ' 09 s through strenuous times. Early in April the Sophomore Domestic Science girls distinguished themselves in their display at the dressmaking exhibit. .As usual they showed rare talent in their work. In spite of the fact that strenuous efforts were made to bar the ' 09 Track Team out of the Inter-Class Track Meet, the attempt failed and the Sophs entered and carried off the honors as usual. Great was the rejoic- ing and amid the yells of Rolio, Bolio, the pennant was hung in the librarv over the librarian ' s desk. But alas ! some ambitious youth who could not win anything fairly, attempted to cover himself with a shower of glory and the pennant disappeared from the library wall. People began to ask themselves, Is there no end to the Sophomore victories? ' ' for in the Inter-Class Tennis Tournament a Sophomore had again carried off the glory. Both in singles with Bob Berkely for repre- sentative and in doubles with Carr and Berkely to uphold the name of 09 thev had defeated all opponents. So ever victorious, ever in the lead, holding aloft the banner of ' 00 and crying Excelsior the ' 09 class jiassed triumphantly into their Junior year. 37 History of the 09 Class During Junior Year TIIK tir t l)ii iiKss if the nK-mbcr of the clas iipim assembling at the old familiar haunts in the fall of 1907 was to pass successfully throus h the various stages of metamorphosis incident to becoming Juniors. The most noticeable change was a general diminution in ize from the Soijhomoric to one of more enduring qualities. Shortly afterward a strong wave of the common sense which has char- acterized the class throughout its existence, appeared. In this instance it e.vhibited itself in the class ' s strong denunciation of all partici])ants in paint- ing class numerals on college property. . bout the first of December the august Faculty awoke to the fact that, for the first time, there was, in a Junior class, material worthy of their gracious recognition in a social way. The result was that a most enjoyable reception was given in the Women ' s Gymnasium by the Faculty to the luniors, and as they dei)arted to their several places of abode that night they said within themselves, it was well thought on and well executed. The social instincts of the class showed themselves after the holidays in a valentine party. The profusion of hearts shown and the number of proposals and acceptances written on this occasion would have done credit to any matrimonial bureau, only the results were, in most cases, less serious. Soon after, the boys of the class were moved to give a banquet at the courthouse in honor of the girls. The excitement for this evening was furnished by the Sophomores who. whenever possible to secure subjects, enroute to the party, proceeded to make a practical demonstration of the old Latin phrase, Soc ct tti ' Uiii, which, being interpreted, means that, by methods other than that of moral suasion, they induced several of the Junior boys to turn over to them for safe keeping, a certain part of their footwear. Having done which they unfortunately dispersed before receiv- ing the generous invitation which the Juniors contemplated extending to them to attend the banc|uet. The Senior ' s rece])tion to the Juniors was followed by an attempted reciprocation on the part of the Juniors. We s,ay attempted, because an old hatchet, namely, the abduction of the Shepherd ' s Crook, was unearthed shortlv before the event and the air was immediately filled with war and rumors of war: hence the Juniors entertained themselves instead of the Seniors. X(ir was athletics neglected in the stress of other things. For the ect)nd consecutive time the ' ( • girls distinguished themselves in the annual basket-ball y:ame , and the cup became the property of the Juniors for another year. The boys ' attempts as athletes, too. showed that brawn as well as brain composed their make-up. Xow these are among the notable doings of the Ws which are written in characters such that, all who run may read. and which are excelled only by certain doings which never saw daylight. For lo, the Spirit of Mischief walked abroad one day and scattered seeds, some of which took root and. finding fertile soil, grew to immense proportions. Then it myste- riously happened that, in one night the figures ' 09, in brilliant pink and white, were to be seen high up against the ceiling in the center of the auditorium, where all might behold and be edified thereby. But, alas! the ruthless hands of officials destroyed the fair emblems, and when the chapel- goers assembled, only the holes made in the atmosphere by the figures re- mained, and not even the strongest microscope could detect them. Likewise a certain portion of sod on the campus, destined to show forth one day as a beautiful green 08, appeared instead as ' 09. and only the owls had witnessed the transformation. In an equally unaccountable manner several nights before Commence- ment certain dark forms busied themselves assiduously about the flag pole, evidently with a view to sundering its connection with the main building. But, after bringing into practical use all the geometry, calculus, muscular energ}-. etc., which they had heretofore managed to acquire, they were obliged to retreat slowly and sadly, reflecting on the old, old saying, ' Of all sad words of tongue or pen, etc. Thus, through stonn and through shine, in the classroom and out of it, the ■09 s during the year ran the same race ( with variations) that others have run. 40 The ' 09 Senior Year IN THE beginning of the fourth and last year of the ' 09 ' s triumphant progress, under-classmen and Faculty watched with interest and amaze- ment, striving to ascertain what unusual and unique pleasures would attend the passing of their Senior year. The season began with the Senior Party, the first to be held in the new Domestic Science building, much to the envy of the various other classes. No description of this imequaled and delightful festivity need be given here for it will long live in the minds of Seniors and other students. It will suffice to say that tjie envious and disappointed ' lO ' s in some manner conceived that they them- selves had received an unwritten invitation to participate in at least the i-efreshment part of the evening ' s program. And it was with thig thought in view that they reached the D. S. kitchens only to be discovered and completely routed at the approach of the masculine ' 09 ' s, spurred on to thrice their ordinary valor by the agonized and plaintive cries of their sister classmates. It was the members of this same illustrious class who, o;ie morning when all were assembled in chapel for devotional exercises and the reading of the day ' s announcements, set at liberty two beautiful doves, ])roudly bearing aloft ' 09 colors. This made such an impression on tfie 1 ' acuity and the studeflj3; ' that the speaker of the morning still furth ' er impressed it upon the niinds of all that these were the embkms of peate and good will which should exist between class and cla a ' nd Faculty aijd class. ■ ■- ,. ,. ' Seeking to perfect their mind ' s in Roberts ' Rules of de ' r ere ventuV- ing out in the political world., one 6f the men in the class, ' a well known aijd prominent member, in fact, was sei ed and tried for maliciously locking lip several innocent damsels of the class as they were peacefully consumiijg their noonday lunch. The learned judges counseled together and pronounced a sentence of such seV?Vity that the next class meeting day saw., the deliii- quent prisoner masticating cotton chocolates, pork candies and string bon bons. ' ' f: • ' ■ In the beginning of the wint term the weekly class me ings multiplied in number, complications and excitement, frbni the usual placid business sessions they became turmoils marked with indecision, new ideas, and t e renewal of old ones, in fact such oratory perhaps will never be heard again. The cap and gown earnestly longed and sought for by the boys, class rings and class pins sighed for by the girls, special assessments, Senior-Junior reception and das.-j book were all fought oyer, on the old time-worn battle- field of A36. ' • ■ ' ' •.. •■■ ' ■■ Peacefully dawned the morn of March 4th, when the librarians arrived with keys and hand bags, unlocked the doors of the library, ened the windows and calnjly seated themselves anxiously awaiting a(i flrpportunity to rap hastily upon their desks or perhaps to intrude upgp love ' s young dream as it waxeth a trifle loud in the alcove. Imagine (tJie consternation, |iictnre the inflignation as upon tlie ring of the last chaf bell Senior after 42 Senior seated Iiim-.e!f in llie reading room and. unheeding the frowns of those feminine guarchans of knowledge, there arose, full six feet two, a leader who in sonorous tones called the asseml-)ly to order. The under- classmen anfl l ' aculty passing by from chapel to their divers class rooms turned their heads in astonishment as the sweet strains of Alma .Mater floated out upon the air from the library window. This music of unsurpassed ijuality seemed in keeping with the tranquility and ])eaceful atmosphere which ever pervades this building. February 27th the Seniors deemed it fitting to extend their hospitality by entertaining the TO ' s. For was it not time that these impetuous spirits were given an opportunity to ascertain the dignity and decorum necessary for the makeup of a Senior? And with this end in view a most royal entertainment was planned and executed. Miile everyone carried home a most pleasant recollection of the good time, many awoke the morning after repenting of their frivolities and vowing never again to participate of jellied veal or a like composition of food. Every loyal Senior will hold proudly within his or her heart the cham- pionship of the girls ' basket-ball team. Valiantly they strove and well, these five defenders of the cup. against their elder sisters and under-classmen for three long years, in every tournament coming out victorious. What mattered it if hair were tossed, faces scratched or if they were forced to go through winter term in a bruised and dilapidated condition — for the cup was theirs. It was with fluttering of hearts and siniling faces that the Seniors took from the postoffice individual notices requesting each fair maiden and each brave youth to gather In the Shadow of the Pines to have their beauty forever held in a stationary manner by the photographic lens. Every maiden fluffed out her hair, patted down her collar and draped over her countenance that smile of deceitful pleasantness which causes many of her brother class- men to vainlv dream of gazing across the breakfast table at it. forgetful of the frowns which ofttimes disfigure their faces. Every youth donned his other coat, brushed back his hair to show the lines of a classical or Roman forehead, complacently thinking that this picture would indeed be one of the college masterpieces. True enough, these bonnie girls and boys were a fitting setting for the romantic pine trees which held dear to each heart many memories of moonlight walks and evening trystings only murmured and forgotten in the whispering breezes of the pines. Ah ! Spring term with its gentle breezes, fragrant flowers, shady nooks and dreamy hours. We see the coming of the boats floating on the Blue and hear the merry laughter of the gay picknickers a s they wend their way in numbers of two over hillside, along the banks of the Wild Cat or upon the brow of old Bluemont. Long, long be my heart witli sucli memories filled! Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled; You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will. But the scent of the roses will cling round it still. 43 fkAMKLlN A AIiAME ADEIANO PABLO ALCAZAE MJLTDN REUBEN ALLEMAK JEBBIE E. APIT2 44 Franklin A. Adam? St-i ' -.ti ' L and fcxjfcr; , -PluemT.

After many efforts on the part of Senior classes of the past in which little interest was shown by the three lower classes, a plan was proposed to establish a permanent name for K. S. A. C. Annuals. The plan has proven successful but only the hearty cooperation of the other three classes and the Faculty, together with the approval of a goodly number of alumni, made this possible. The time seemed to be at hand when a movement with this object in view would meet with universal favor and the ease with which this end was accomplished was the surprise of all those who had been acquainted with former attempts. It has been the aim of the board of editors to make this book worthy of the class it represents and of the college of whose life it is a portrayal. To what degree we have succeeded in this purpose will be left for our readers to judge. There will be criticism and fault-finding, for it will be ever so with the work of human hands. ' e realize now what an Herculean task was undertaken when we fell the victims to the pleasure of the class .n choosing its class book committee. In order to keejv pace with the phenomenal growth and progress of the college, we have endeavored to put out a better and more comprehensive annual tha.i has ever been pub- lished before. That we would succeed, in one particular at least, that of the cost of publishing the book, became evident soon after work was begun. Necessarily the work of editing a book of this kind falls heavily upon the students who must also keep up their college work. And it is here that we wish to express our hearty gratitude to those who voluntarily, or when called upon, took a hand and helped to shoulder the burden. Time, labor and money were freely spent in helping to produce a creditable book, and we are indeed thankful to those who in anv manner lent us assistance. - As words of advice to future Kovai, I ' l ' RI ' I.i; committees we can only repeat that of our predecessors, which was, to organize early and begin to plan dcfimtely, not later at least than the opening of the Junior year. Much delay and worry was caused at the last moment by many of the college organizations who had asked for s]3ace, in failing to send in their pictures, writeups and other contributions. To begin this work at the very opening of the Senior } ' ear would avoid much of the difficulty. I. tr)ing to give expression to our feeling at this time in bidding farewell to our . lnia Mater, we feel that words are in vain. Though the tarewells said by the students as a whole are for a short time only, there is a note of sadness in each Senior ' s goodbye. To our class it means the last farewell to the college we love so dearly and of which we have been a part during our four years ' career. Though looked upon with varied feelings, it inspires us as being one of the most solemn occasions of our lives, when we come to say the tinal farewell to the grand old college, grown dear to our hearts by years of associations. It signifies not only the bidding goodbye to the buildings and campus filled to the brim with happy memories, but it means in most instances the end of school days, in fact the end of the happiest period of our lives. It means the breaking of asso- ciations that have been years in the forming, the leave-taking of friends and acquaintances ; friendships such as we shall never form anywhere else, for here our interests were common, conditions ideal. We were not in the busy turmoil of life, absorbed in the sordid search for wealth, but our greatest interest was in striving for the higher things of life and on this common level we were brought close together. As we close the book of our college days, the first page of a new volume is presented, and a new epoch in our life begins. Although it is not given to us to know what these new pages may contain, we are more fortunate than the rank and file of humanity who must face the future. ' e have had the opportunities of a thorough training by means of which we are prepared, in a large part, to become the masters of our own destiny. Away with the theory of predestination, of a belief in the doctrine that our paths are marked out for us to the minutest detail, and that we are powerless to alter them in the least particular. But let us follow the exhor- tation of James A. Garfield who said Things do not turn up in this world unless somebody turns them up. And now to our beloved college, who Ever holds us with magic spell. we bid a last fond Farewell : Farewell ! to our devoted instructors who have labored so faithfully with us these years ; and to our friends and college mates who remain to follow us later on, we extend a last affectionate and traternal Farewell, and in future years may we ever realize that: Bright gleams a beacon across life ' s sea Guiding my bark wheresoe ' er it be. Emblem of truth and of constancy. I think of thee. . lma Mater. 117 JUNIOR; (Being a few and most important sketches selected from the Log book.

Bravely it rode and well over the troubled waters of the Freshman sea with Luther Solt as captain and Bertha Davis first mate. November 1 2th In the port of the old D. S. the crew enjoyed a season of jollity and mirth, and as several feminine members of the crew afterwards expressed it, the occasion was a particularly pleasurable one, as there were five jolly sailor lads to every lass. December 12, 1906 Eleven of our naturally great athletes met and defeated a like number of pigskin warriors from the ' 09 tub. December 1 3th Our noble eleven met defeat at the hands of the sea-hardened eleven of the ' 07 crew. January 15. 1907 At the beginning of the new year Hope Palmer assutned command and Glen Whipple took the arduous task of recording the ship ' s progress. February 4th We were most loyally entertained by the girls of the crew, who proved themselves royal entertainers. 120 April 2cl The commander of the spring cruise was Edwin Truskctt and this book placed in the hands of Ulive Smith.

October 1. 1907 Alden Strong was next to watch with careful eye the course of the gallant ' 10 ship while Christine l ert,ruson made note of its progress. October 2 1 st Again the jolly crew rounded the port of the old D. S. to once more with games and music cement their friendships. November 1 8th Desirous of ascertaining how the land folk enjoyed themselves far from the turmoil of the waves and whirlpools of organic chemistry, we hastened to the roller skating rink. January 7. 1908 Ed Dearborn guided our crew this term and Carrie Harris wrote the log book. February I 9th Another roller skating party. Red pepper, etc., etc. Our girls now victoriously defeated the weaker and less experienced girls of the ' ll ' s crew. March 31st Carrie Harris assumed the reins of the ship ' s government and Bill Hopper recorded all interesting events conspicuous among which was the party given by the girls on the Wild Cat to their brother shipmen. September 28th Captain Roy Johnson, recorder, and Metta Schaffer. keeper of log book. October 8th Again the jolly crew made merry on the old battlefield near the banks of the Wild Cat and participated in another festivity which will ever live in the memory of the noble ' lO ' s. December 5 th A most important event : the Seniors gave a banquet. A few ' lO ' s attend uninvited. Consternation — indignation — Faculty open a canning fac- tory. December 1 2th After defeating the crew of the ' CO ship, we attack and a drawn victory results with the would-be victors of the ' 11 crew. Score 4 to 4. January 6th Metta Schaffer at the helm and Carrie dates first mate. February 27th Senior-Junior reception, a grand time, good fellowship renewed, and all ' s well with the sister ships.

However, ours is not a class which brags. We will try to tell some of our accomplishments and future ambitions. Our great college is becoming widely famed for the men and women that her wise counsel and direction is fitting and giving to the world each year. Each succeeding commencement furnishes a larger number of better equipped young people to step out upon the stage of action and act their separate parts in the great play of life. The class of 1911 will be no exception to the rule. The greatest desire of each member is the conquering of the obstacles that loom up between him and his ideals. We always go through our obstructions, never around them. The historj ' of our class is one that is very bright and pleasing to review. Our ' s is the first Sophomore class in college that has had three years of class history. On the athletic field we have much to be proud of. Our class foot-ball team swept all opposition before it in the season of 07 and was not conquered in ' 08. Fully fifty per cent of the material composing the college first team, the team that has so seldom met defeat upon the gridiron, is composed of men who are loyal to the green and white. Our basket-ball and track athletics are subjects which highly merit praise, and that every Sophomore takes pleasure and pride in reviewing. Our basket-ball team of the season just past carried off the championship with that ease so common to our athletes. Our class has already distinguished itself in literary lines. In the annual oratorical contest of this year the first three places were taken by members of the 1911 class. We are well represented in the literary- societies and on the Her.mj) staflj. WTiat shall our purpose be in the future? What shall be our ideal of a class? Let us strive to be students in the fullest sense of the word. Let us be honest and sincere in whatever we under- take, always willing to strive in any way that we can to make our college, class, and friends better by our having labored with them. Most important of all, however, let every Sophomore resolve to finish the work that he is in-; let him cast his lot among those who, when golden opportunity knocks at his door, will be ready to respond.

This class differed but little from others that had gone before. Their tirst great endeavor was to get acquainted with the methods of college life and with each other. As the class had already formed an organization in their preparatory year, a class organization was easily eiifected. The first social event was a nut gathering party in the woods near town. In the winter term the class opened the social season with a party at the Gymnasium. At this social function the Freshman Band, the only organization of its kind in college, made its debut. The ' 12 class not only possessed good scholarship and social leader- ship, but were minus those attributes which e.xhibit themselves in disturb- ances, de tructi(ln of property and freakish stunts of various kinds. Their ' s was the class spirit of the Twentieth century, that of loyalty to country, college and class. The Freshman class was well represented in athletics of the college, not always sounding the trumpet of victory, but doing that steady, pro- gressive work which may not win honors for them as underclassmen, but is certain to win in later years. On the Varsity as well as Tyros last fall, Freshmen contributed their quota of players, over half of the latter team being composed of first years. In basket-ball two ' 12 ' s won K ' s. In the spring term, a banipiet was held, at which the class athletes were honored with class monograms. At this writing the class is expect- ing manv victories of its track and base-ljall team-. s 1 LITERAIG SOCIE TIE S IX 18()8 a body of students at the Kansas State Agricultural College banded themselves together for the jjurpose of improvement in foren- sics, oratory, and general literature, and for the promotion of friend- ship and morality. These persons adopted a constitution, giving the name Ai.rirA Hicia LirERARV Sociktv to the organization, implying that they ere as yet only in the alphabet of the forensic art. Two years later lliey were granted a charter for ten years and at the expiration of this lime another one was granted for ninetv-nine vears. The object of our society being to develop the individual, and knowing that in order to do this, a person must frequently appear on the program, we do not encourage a large membership. Thus the end of the year ' 09 finds us with more stringent requirements for membership than we have ever had in the past. We require hard, conscientious work and a high standard of morality. The society stands foremost in the hearts of its members, and after ceasing to be active Alpha Betas, we rejoice to think we may still keep in touch with the work of the society that has forever fixed itself in our memories.

Xor do we neglect our social duties, for two annual events occur to brighten our more serious endeavors. In the early autumn we give a ban- quet to our brothers the Hamilton Men, and in the spring the Ham]j- lo Egg Roast is the event of the season. On these occasions we have a chance to sharpen our wits as well as our appetites, and to cultivate a closer acquaintance with our brothers, from whom we receive many kindly cour- tesies. In all these various ways we have opportunity to put into practice our motto, Diamond Cut Diamond. and we hope that in the polishing process we as lo ' s mav alwavs be a credit to a beloved Alma Mater.

Bole. O ! Role. Bole, O ! Hamillons, Hamiltons, Role. Bole, O! Hamilton SINCE the weary traveler (jn life ' s upward journey may oft turn his eyes backwards to observe the distance he has traveled, to discover whether his weariness is justified in his progress, as it were, we shall here erect the post that he may determine without sacrifice of time just how far he has advanced or if he has lifted himself above his former Hamilton principles at all. Hamiltons believe Truth Conquers All Things ; they believe the one great end of education to be character. There is no desire on their part to work out of harmony with the laws which govern the growth and better- ment of the individual : consequently they persist in those practices which are for the benefit of the man in public life. Whether or not the grad- uate has raised himself above the Hamilton principles depends much upon his own idea of himself both then and now, but this can be said, as can be said of education in general, that our virtues will impress themselves upon him to his utmost capacity if he lays himself open for beneficial development. College is life ' s training school; social life is a supplementary institu- tion. To describe this life and its various influences is not within the province of this space. This is not an advertisement for the band of one Inuulred men who choose to carry the name Hamilton after the manner of those who have been coming and going for the last quarter of a century. It is merely the post we are erecting that former Hamiltons may observe in glancing backward that we have not deteriorated from their principles, and that we in after years may observe as the high water mark of our student usefulness. For an account of themselves to their absent brethren Hamiltons of the present wish to report that they are cheerfully following in the foot- steps of their pathfinders. Let the word i)ass along — Nineteen nine and all ' s well with the Hamps. As ever, parliamentary practice and oratory are of supreme importance. Nothing daunted by last year ' s defeat in the annual oratorical contest, another Alartin was sent forth and returned triumphant, adding the fourth victory out of the eight contests held. The social side of life is far from suffering neglect. Banqueted by their sister lonians during the fall term, every Hamp declares that all previous social functions were eclipsed by this brilliant event. In the winter term the D. S. building was the scene of the return reception. On Saturday, April 3d, Wild Cat Creek was the objective point of the two societies, and on this date the fifth of the traditional egg roasts passed into history. 144 WEBSTER SOCIETY Webber Fall Term Winter Term Spring Term Prksidknt — H.

Webster WHEN the Websters met in south society hall during the first Saturday evening of the fall term, there were many friendly greetings among these loyal fellows who had come to start a new year ' s work. Everyone was glad to assume once more the inspiring motto of his society, Labor Conquers All Things. During the meetings of the college year the usual progressive spirit of the Websters has prevailed. The new constitution, which had been adopted previously, proved to be very efficient. There has been a marked improvement in the business sessions in consequence. The literary work 01 the society, too, has been of a high order, and the devotion of an entire evening to formal debate has become a special feature. In the winter term the under classmen were allowed to choose their officers and conduct an entire meeting of the society. The exchanges of programs with the Euro- delphians was an inspiration to every Webster, and proved to them the efficiency of their sister society in literary work. The first pleasant renewal of friendship with the Euros was an invita- tion by them to celebrate Halloween in an appropriate way. A high admoni- tion by a group of spooky specters, who api)eared during a session of the society, proved humiliating to the courage of some Websters. When the two societies gathered in the Women ' s Gymnasium, each member was im- pressed with the ghostly appearance of every other. The room presented the scene of an autumn cornfield, with pumpkins gathered and placed about the shocks. Pies, doughnuts and cider added much to the good cheer. As is their custom, the Websters extended to their sisters an invitation to take their annual boating excursion to Willow Grove, on the Blue, during the spring term. This is an event that is always looked forward to with much pleasure by all the members. In the oratorical contest the Websters were represented by H. A. Col- well, who has ever been an energetic worker for the society. The mem- bers gave vent to their usual enthusiasm and attended, uniquely dressed in gowns of green, their society color. During the winter the Senior mem- bers of the society joined in offering a first and seco nd prize for the two best written and delivered orations by any of the members who would be eligible to enter the oratorical contest next year. The time at which these were delivered was the latter part of May. The idea was originated with the hope that succeeding Senior members of the society would do the same, and that this might prove to be a stimulus for more effective work in oratory. . s a whole the year has been very successful, and every member as he passes home after society hours is always proud to join in .giving Wah, Haw!

Throuj h the fall term each .Saturday at 2 :4. p. ni. we became accus- tomed to the sound of the j a ' l in the hand of .Miss ' era 1 lolloway, while .Miss W ' ilma Evans was her assistant. Lottie Farnsworth kept the records and Miss Mosely told us our mistakes. The subject of the society picture for the Class Book furnished material for endless discussions, in which Mildred Huse and Mr. Wolf did their best to please us as you can now see. By Kathleen Selby ' s unceasing labor the programs were a delight and benefit for all. One of our meetings in November was post]3 ined until the following Wednesday evening, when we brought our friends and gave them a few lessons in Domestic Science interspersed with musical selections. Both were much enjoyed. One pleasant event, to the Euros at least, was the visit of the line of ghosts to the Webster Society during the program. We tried to show them the importance of asking her. They did ask her. most of them. On Halloween night all the ghosts and goblins assembled in the Gymnasium and spent an evening of fun and frolic. At the next election Kathleen .Selby was placed in the chair, Elva .Sikes was chosen vice-president, while Mabel Hammond wrote it all down. (Gladys Irish criticised and tried to improve us while Jessie Apitz was made happy by being given the position of marshal. The first part of this term Reva Cree and ' era Holloway told us the arrangements for the con- test as they were being planned. We all worked and worried and on the great night the entire seventy-five were there arrayed in costumes of pen- nants and sunflowers, planned by Gladys Irish and Ruth Elliot. We all yelle l and sang and then little Georgie Randel spoke our piece for us. bringing back the honors of third place. We were all proud that Georgie belonged to our number. This term Mae Williams worked hard getting our constitution printed. The curtain for the front of the hall was also purchased, which added greatly to the appearance of the hall. .At the beginning of the spring term the reins of government were given to Marie Coons, with Jessie . pitz as her vice, while Amelia Pierson kejit the records and Vera Holloway told us how to act. Early this term the Euros met one afternoon for a picnic spread. This was a time we all learned each other ' s first names and had a jolly informal time. 151 e Cw €v - C %0 C , ' c c Frankl ins Presidents I. S. Daniki.s E. C.

Considering the great importance of this work and the large number of students out of society work due to the crowded condition of the other societies the Franklins organized and held their first meeting January 18, 1902. Since that time we have been gradually overcoming the obstacles that naturally confront a young societ} ' . These obstacles haev been used as stepping stones on the way to success, which has been demonstrated by the quality of work ], ' roduced. Through these several years we have held true to the paramount ])ur- pose of the society by producing progress well varied in the ])ractices of debate, readings, extemporaneous work and parliamentary practice. ' e first appeared in the Inter-Society Oratorical Contest in 1904, secur- ing third place. Since then all of our orators have done creditable work, succeeding in landing lir. t place in 1 ' ' 08 and second jilace in 1 ' ' 0 ' ' . W ' e feel that we have reasons to be ]ileased over these first five vears in the oratorical contests and the pro- jiect for ne.xt year. Once during each term all college and society duties are laid aside for some special social function. During the sjiring of ' 07 we took a trip into the country with the College Engine, which proved to be such a grand success that it has Iieen made an annual event. In ' 08 the pleasure of this excursion was much improved upon by the use of an electric generator and lamps which not only added to the Ix-anty of the moving train but gave the picnic grounds the appearance of an electric park. Thus the work of the Franklin Society is such as produces a well developed man or woman ; one who can step before a body of people and address them intelligently on a live subject or entertain them in a social function.

Hazzard NIXE cars ago the Oratorical Contest became a feature of the work of the Literary Societies. These contests have given a great impetus to ora- tory anil debate in the library training of the societies. These annual contests are among the most prominent events of the college year. Each of the seven societies by means of a ]ireliminary contest chooses its representative The scene of the battle of words is the Audi- torium, which is always taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the great crowds. Many and varied are the methods used in demonstration. Costumes of various hues and designs are in evidence, banners a nd pen- nants are flung to the breezes, but in point of effect the noises are most successful in reminding the visitor of the presence of the several societies, each shouting forth the vir- tues and abilities of its own youthful T )emos- thenes, and with equal vigor telling of the awful fate sure to befall each of the others. The first of these contests, that of the year 1901, was won by the Alpha Beta orator. Then followed three successive victories for the lonians, after which in 1905 the Hamilton representative captured the coveted prize. The next two victories went to the same society and in 1908 the Franklins made away with the honor. The year 1909 again saw the Hamiltons lead the race, the orator in this contest being John Z. Martin, whose likeness we present herewith. 161 THJS organization, altliough practicall)- in its infancy, is fast gaining a good reputation and showing signs of real life. From the fact that it so recently made its debut into the society of college organ- izations it might not be out of place to give here a few facts con- cerning the origin and history of the club. During the college year of 1907-08 the Faculty made a ruling specifying that only one play each year could be given by the literary societies. There being seven of these societies in college at that time it became evident that each society could give a play only once in seven years under those condi- tions. In other words, it was possible for a student to attend college four years and graduate without ever having seen his own society give a play. To those theatrically inclined this seemed to be placing dramatic art at too great a disadvantage. Consequently a few students, mostly Seniors and Juniors, got their heads together and with the aid of Professor Kam- meyer succeeded in organizing The Dramatic Club, having for its object the improvement of its members in the study and interpretation of dramatic literature. It was agreed that all rights, powers, and privileges of the societies, relating to society plays, should be vested in the Dramatic Club and that the club would give one play annually at the beginning of the spring term. Any Junior or Senior member of a college literary society was made eligible to membership. Arrangements were then immediately begun for a play to be given in the spring term of 1908. The Taming of the Shrevi ' was chosen and although only a few weeks remained in which to prepare, the club won the good opinion and respect of all by successfully staging this Shakespearean play in so short a time. On April 26, 1909, The Lady of Lyons was very successfully f)!ayed to a large and well ]5leased audience. This was a very difficult play to render, but the caste worked hard and faithfully and succeeded again iri demonstrating that the Dramatic Club is a real live organization and some remarkable talent was displayed. The club is now established on a firm foundation and is furnishing to those who arc so inclined, training and experience which will undoubtedly be of no small value in after life. 162 The Society Lecture Course UNDER the management of the Literary Societies an extensive lecture course of a dozen or more numbers is put on each year. The best talent of the lecture platform, the highest class of musi- cal organizations together with the most noted of humorists or novelty entertainers are included in thc ' e courses. This venture is one of the most successful, popular and beneficial of the .student enterprises to be found at college. The spacious auditorium, affording a seating capacity of almost three thousand, enables the management to hold the cost of admission at a very low figure. As a result the numbers are all very well attended and at thi. close of each season the course returns an ever-increasing compensation to the societies. This year ' s course has been the most successful and most expensive and the strongest by far of any that have ever been offered. In cost there were none to exceed it in the state. With the continued support of the College and the town people we are confident that many more courses of the quality of that of the 08 and ' 09 course will follow.

The results. taking these facts into consideration, are very creditable, some of the notice- able points being good tempo, smooth rendition and precision. But this is from the technical side alone. When we look at the beneficial effects of the study from an esthetic standpoint, the chance to dip if ever so lightly into some of the good things prepared for us in the realm of song, the u])- lifting influence of good music upon both those who render and those who listen, we surely feel as though an organization of this kind is a necessity. We cannot afford to forget that while the study of the practical is the basis of an agricultural college that no education is complete which does not pay attention to other things which cannot, it is true, be measured in a retort or reduced to a chemical formula, dissected on a laboratory table or added among the nutriments of a balanced ration but which nevertheless do strengthen that immoral part of us without which we can never attain tc a well rounded growth. Then, too, music is usually considered a luxury and among the first expenses to be cut down when hard times or a capricious tariff make even necessities beyond our price. But lo, here we have a chance to get musical tuition free and without price and we believe this is the only school of its kind to offer an equal advantage. The Choral Union was organized in 1904. The heavier parts of Han- del ' s Messiah were sung at the first concert in the spring of 1905. The second annual concert was given in March. 1906. Most of Gounod ' s Faust rtas rendered. In 1907. A. Garing Thomas ' s The Swan and the Skylark was given. The same oratorio was repeated at the annual concert in 1908.

Good music is used, giving the club a standmg among the musical organizations of the College. Officers Presidents R.M-PH Hunter A. Endacott Secretary J. R. Carn.ahan Treasurers H. C. Smith C. E.

In fact such has been the I ' evelopment that thev have become one of the strongest factors of modern college activity. Thev are something that can scarcely be restramed for play ' is one of the most fundamental of human and animal instincts. When they are conducted as such athletics should be conducted they are one of the ' most valuable forces in the physical, mental and moral develop- ment of not onlv tho e participating directlv, but also oi those who attend the rzme . So great has been the spread and growth of the college athletic -pirft that one can sc arcely, if at all. find a college of any rank that does not possess its team representing one or more of the different phases of college athletics. Few there are having education of liberal scope who deny athletics a place on the college curriculum. ' Assuming that this is the case it will become apparent to all that there is much need of our being cognizant of the imprint which may be left upon the student mind bv -ollege athletics. They who are in attendance now are the ones to whom we must finally deliver the welfare of our state and nation. It has been said that what is put into the first of life is put into the whole of it. This is a truth almost axiomatic and is based upon the fact that it is the wav we act and what we do in the earlier and more plastic period of our life that decides what we are to be in our maturer period of life, and the manner in which we will battle with the more serious affair- which are due to come. I truly believe that one of the most alarm- incT features of our college life is the persistent idea, which many possess, that little indiscretions in the classroom or on the athletic field will prove of no harm because thev are considered as being something which w;ould T ' ot be thought of as being used elsewhere. The harmfulness of such ideas is due to the fact that in college we are moulding our character and all those things which we practice are the things that are to determine the quality of our ' moral sense. Our moral sense determines our moral standards, with which we are to measure right and wrong. If the student bodv is so universally ingrossed in athletics and can be trained to the idea of giving the opponent all the rights due him it is bountl to inculcate in his makeup a feeling of generosity and fairness which he will carr - with him and which will always be at hand in tempering his feelings with his fellowman in after life. This is something which can be applied to the student bodv in general and not only to those who actually participate in the games. ' If we were to consider only that force which effects the man at the bat we would he dealing with a very small percentage of the student bodv. and in order that the effect be worthy our notice it should influence the student body as a whole, or. at least, a large percentage of the whole. No student should get the idea that every minute of his time slioul 1 be employed in one continual grind with studies. Whenever a student at- tempts sucli a task, unless he is blessed with an unusual power of endurance, he will ultimately grow stale. More study will bring no more results. What such a person needs and should really have is some good fresh air and a good athletic event cleanly conducted in order to give him the physical and mental e.xercise so needful to proper moral development. We should always keep in mind that the physical is for the sake of the mental and moral culture and is not an end in itself. It is to make the intellect, feel- ings and will more alert and more resourceful. If properly exercised it should give control of the body so as to keep it as the servant of the mind and not the master. College students are generally filled with more or less surplus energy. Such energy usually makes itself known in some form or other. If it is allowed to make itself felt along the proper channels it can be put to good use, but if not so governed it very likely will make itself known in some other more deteriorating form. Athletics gives every student the opportunity of using such surplus energy to his own profit. If not given this opportunity he may turn to some one or more of the various forms of dissij ation.

S. A. C. steadily rise in standing in the foot-ball world. Until the fall of 1905 the team representing this school was looked upon as ea-y money by other teams of the state, and as for teams outside of this state it is doubtful if they had ever heard of the Kansas Aggies. But when the season of ' 05 opened with a husky bunch of farmers chasing the pigskin aimlessly about the field, there appeared upon the scene of action one Mike Ahearn. He needs no introduction, for anyone who has ever heard of athletics during the last few years knows that like is the man who has caused the fame of the Kansas Aggies to be spread far and wide. The way the bunch of players like turned loose on the gridiron worked on the cay of the first game stirred up that type of enthusiasm known as college spirit in a way hitherto unheard of. but which has grown from year to year until it is unequalled in any other school in the state. Ever since the date of the above mentioned game the foot-ball team of K. S. A. C. backed by one of the best coaches in the West, and cheered on by the most loyal bunch of rooters in the state, has climbed steadily up the ladder until— well, let ' s see just what that bunch of farmers really did during the season of ' 08. The opening of practice found enough old and experienced men back to fill out a full team and more new men out every evening for practice than ever before. With Mike behind the ' X ' arsity and Assistant Coach Beall coaching the Scrubs, work began. The result of this hard work is plainly seen as we follow the accounts of victory after victory won by the boys wearing the Royal Purple. The first game of the season was with Kansas Wesleyan, the score at the close of the game being 28 to 5 in favor of K. S. A. C. The first half of the game was close and hard fought, much to the surprise of many, but the second half told a different story. It has been reported that a ■ ' verj ' gentle application of soothing syrup. administered by the coach between halves, was to blame for the fury with which the Aggies played during the remainder of the game. Then began the hard practice previous to the trip to Lawrence. When the day arrived not only the team but about 150 rooters accompanied the team to witness the battle which took place on McCook field that day. Although the final score as found in the official score book is 6 to 12. with K. U. tacked onto the big eml. the true victory belongs to the Aggies. Both teams played as though their very lives depended upon it, each one so well trained that it seemed more like one huge machine than a number of individuals. But those present could not help admitting that the Farmers played the better game. Even as the score stands the Aggies have the honor of scoring more points on the University team than did any other school during the season. But the game that followed was liken unto a dose of castor oil, the sooner you can swallow and forget it the better. It is not very strange that after playing such a game as the boys did that day at Lawrence that they should look upon the game with Oklahoma University as a rather easy victory. However, things did not pan out exactly as expected for the Sooners scored 33 points, while the boys of the Sunflower state tried to be content with 4. But this game drained the college team of some of the harmful over-confidence caused by the game at Lawrence. ( )f course, the Oklahoma game had a very bad effect on the temper (A Ahearn ' s squad and a team of good-natured fellows from Southwestern I ' niversity was used as an object upon which to wreak vengeance. When the game finally ended the score board presented the following figures : K. . . A. C, 17; Southwestern, 0. COLORADO 176 Tiic next game was played with Creighton Univer ity ai )nialia. This was the first time a foot-ball team representing K. S. A. C. ever played a game outside their home state. But the Jayhawkers felt equally at home at Omaha and took all the scores made, passing the goose egg to the Corn- Iniskers. They even had the nerve to stop with a sum of 13 points, just to show their disdain for all superstition. The Farmers next met their brother Aggies irom the state to the south. Although they came with smiling and hopeful faces, they went away a little saddened by their fate which is told by the records: K. S. A. C, 40: Oklahoma, 10. Then came the game that team and rooters had been looking forward to all season. When the day of the game with Washburn at last arrived the people of To]ieka were aroused by the noise made by two train loads of loyal students and townspeople from Manhattan. Headed by the College Band, they sneered at the extra street cars that were out for the occasion and marched up the middle of Kansas avenue. In the afternoon was played the first game of foot-ball in wiiich K. S. . . C. defeated Washburn. The final score was 23 to 4 in favor of the Royal Purple. The game w-ith the Colorado Agricultural College on Thanksgiving Day was close and fast during the first half. But during the intermission betw een halves j Iike again gave his pupils a liberal application of that panacea that he keeps in reserve for just such occasions. Did it do any good? Well. I guess yes! Look at the result: Colorado 10. K. S. A. C. 33. Thus ended the most successful and victorious foot-ball season in the history of the College. Offic Boy; Clat Pre if ' .ent.

Iacii.e Forrest THE Rooters ' Club were organized in the fall of 1905 by F. A. Kiene and some kindred spirits for the purpose of backing to the last ditch our foot-ball team, losing or winning, and at the same time of making the visits of opposing teams as pleasant as good-fellow- ship, sportsmanship, and a spirit of fairness could make them. Since that time the clubs have been a potent factor in the up-building of athletics at K. S. A. C. and in the growth of that K. S. A. C. spirit that backs our teams whether they lose or win. and which has more than once, by a burst of irresistible enthusiasm, helped to win a game apparently lost. The memon,- of the receptions to visiting teams that we have attended will always be among the most pleasant of the many recollections of our College days. The Rooters Clubs have become essential features of student life at our College, and may they always be so. 178 The Tyros WHILE our varsity foot-ball warrior? each fall win victory upon victory upon the gridiron and we applaud and honor them and cover them with laurels, we are prone to forget that little band of faithful players known as the scrubs. Xight after night they stand the onslaughts of the heavier, better trained players of the first team. Bruises, not laurels, are their lot and they go through the season imhonored and unsung. A good second team makes a better first team, and for this reason more attention should be given the Tyros. Because their lot is an unat- tractive, long suffering one, many men who have the making of great foot-ball players in them are never found. A strong second team not only makes the varsity work harder, but when recruits are needed for the latter they are readily available. The members of the second team squad who distinguished themselves the past season were Bently, Haywood. Laflin, Johnson, Hammond. ' al- lace. Edwards. Rhodes. Hopper, Elliott, Freeborn, Foster, Ratliffe. Marxen, Xoel. Cole and Coyner. Coach Beall proved a very efficient trainer. The result of the two matched games plaved during the season were: Ft.

C It is but four years since the college has supported a regular team ami provided a schedule of games. During that time, as in all other sports, the teams have taken a place in the foremost rank in the Missouri alley. With the exception of ' 07- ' 08 the four seasons have been very successful, the team winning a majority of the games each year. The season of ' 08-W opened with a determination on the part of the team to retrieve the many defeats of the previous season. The old men who reported for practice at the opening of the season were Captain Baird, McXall. Blair. Talbot. Larson and Haynes. Their work at practice soon showed that K. S. A. C. would have to be reckoned with when the champion- ships were handed out. When the schedule opened on the evening of December 9 with the Cotner University team. Coach Aheam sprung an agreeable surprise on the spectators by producing a team that far outclassed the visitors. In this game Baird sustained an injured shoulder that kept him out of the games the rest of the season. Among the new men who were tried out and who made good were Carpenter and Edwards. The former was chosen captain for the season ■09- ' 10. The following is the result of the season ' s games: K. S. A. C . 59 Cotner 25 K. S. A. C 31 Kansas Unversitv 39 K. S. A. C 31 Nebraska .

By all rights base-lial! holds first place in athletics at K. S. A. C since it was the first and only game in which the early students of the college took part or interest, and their One-O ' -Cat, Rounders, and Townball, developed into modern base-ball and the ' 80s and ' 90s found just as enthus- iastic players on the teams and as interested spectators on the side lines as we find today. It is unfortunate that the character of the game is such that the mdividual merits of men on the different teams cannot be compared with one anothfr nor that one team ' s work can be compared with that of any previous team ; but for the good of the game one year after another perhaps it is well that such is the condition. In track work a man ' s effort is meas- ured to a fraction in feet or seconds and in an instant his performance is judged in the light of past records and only he who breaks a record or approaches the set mark is looked upon as worthy to wear the laurel wreath. In base-ball the fans make the hero, his effort is always appreciated and his mistakes forgotten if he possesses that something in his work that pleases the crowd. In days gone by, there were Bresse, Brock. Engle. ' rhoni])kins. . idorf- sky, Hess, ] IaIlon and Miller, there were and always will lie the Merbs. the 183 Als, the Bobbies and others, and 1909 finds history repeating itself — nine heroes on the diamond, a few impatient ones on the bench and 1500 noisy fans in the grandstand and on bleachers shouting the same old war cries and each one urging the merits of his favorite. The team as a whole this year has caught the fancy of those that liave been followers of the game for several years. With six of the veterans from the championship team of ' 08 to start the team, the task of picking the few men needed to fill the remaining positions was a hard one as the large number of candidates for the places contained many player-- of promise. Wim Shorty Haines at first, Price at second. Baird in the bo.x. Speer behind the bat. Parks and Capt. Strong in the field, the team had much the same style of play and appearance as the last season ' s team. Grubb and Richardson at third and short, proved themselves made of the material that wins and after the newness had worn off developed into good men for the positions. Aicher, a new man at K. S. A. C. but a player of several years ' experience in college base-ball, proved both a reliable hitter and a good fielder. Stack and O ' Toole, slab artists, proved themselves in class after they became used to the noise of the grandstand. The season opened favorably with an easy victory over the Topeka White Sox and Parks and Capt. Strong made heroes of themselves with their batting. Washburn next sufl: ' ered defeat and after the team had recovered Iroin stage fright won the next one from Nebraska Wesleyans in neat fashion.. K. U. proved easy in the first of the series, but the next day things happened in the eighth. With the score 0-4 in our favor. K. U. unsacked a new bunch of bats and only stopped hitting when five scores had been chalked to their credit. Nebraska University came next and after a bad scare in the first caused by a bunch of hits and errors with three men scoring, the team settled down and in pretty fashion won the game. A trip to Iowa and Nebraska brought only defeat but the woril that came from Highland Park and Ames showed the boys were playing pluckv ball. pril 23d the team had the pleasure of sending our old time rivals, the Terrible Swedes, home with a bunch of nine goose eggs and added eight scores to our credit. The Kansas Wesleyans, taking a lead at the start in the next game, were only nosed out at the finish by a single score. An invasion of the Oklahoma Normal with a string of victories to their credit, proved the home defenders equal to the task and the team back in winning form. i this writing Parks, Strong, Richardson and Aicher have developed into hitters, and while each player is a hero in the eyes of some one, the team as a whole is a group of heroes and we append our approval with a ' Hip, Hip.

C. had never taken part in an inter-collegiate meet. In the spring of 1905 C. W. Melick was engaged to organize and coach a team. A meet was scheduled with the State Normal but was lost by a close score. This meet generated the necessary enthusiasm for the sport and caused it to be recognized as a branch of college athletics well worthv the su]i])ort of the student body. The team of the following year was greatly strengthened by the addi- tion of new men and that year all College records, with the exception of two or three, were broken. Baker was overwhelmed and the state meet was easily won. Since then this form of athletics has become firmly established. Two out of three state meets have been won and though this year ' s meet has not been held, the chances are bright that K. S. A. C. will triumph again. The record of meets held thus far is as follows: The Team of 1 909 Dual meet at Baldwin, May 1 — Baker t 4 pi ints, K. S. A. C. (v points. Dual meet at Lawrence. May — K. U. 8II2 points. K. S. .V.

THE value of training tlie pln ic for the duties and the responsibilities as well as the pleasures of life has so impressed itself upon the public, that physical culture is now considered as a special duty for all girls. The year before physical culture was introduced, the Captain of the military department volunteered to drill the girls at a regular hour on the campus. Uniforms were obtained, which consisted of blue blouses and sliort skirts. This work was much enjoyed by the girls, but for some reason the Faculty objected and after numerous excited meetings declared that military drill for girls must stop. But this was not final, for the Captain made arrangements to continue the drill off the campus. The work was first introduced as a regular required study by Miss Metcamp. who instructed the girls in calesthenics. Later Miss Florence Ball had charge of the work which was carried on in the basement of the library building. Then Miss Clara Williams was instructor for one year, during which time cross country runs became very popular with the girls. This e.xercise was taken in the early morning. For the next two years Miss Clure was at the head of the department, and in the fall of ' 01 the old chemistry building was remodeled for the girls gymnasium. Here they first taught the Swedish system of gymnastics which consisted of apparatus work, drills, fancy steps and military marching. In 1903 !Mis5 Fearon was in charge. She trained the girls in basket-ball and tennis which soon became their most popular games. Immediately following Miss Fearon came Miss Marguerite Barbour, who took charge of the phys- ical culture department in the fall of 1904 and is still superintendent. She uses the Sargent system, which is a combination of the Swedish and German movements. The calisthenic exercises and classic dancing tend to develop an erect, graceful poise and carriage. Some of these favorite movements now- used are military drill, center ball, basket-ball, three deep, ball races, as well as the elementary track athletics in jumping, running and throwing. These all quicken the sense perceptions, strengthen the will and develop the power of attention. Within the past few years some very interesting exhibitions have been given in the auditorium by the physical training girls, under the instruction of Miss P.arbcur. May pole exhibits have also been given on the campus. Basket ball is the most popular game played by the girls. Practicing begins about Thanksgiving time each year and continues until the annual tournament, which takes place about the middle of March. The terms are divided up according to classes. Each team is coached bv some competent player appointed by Miss Barbour. During the tournamv..Tt a trophy is offered which goes to the team winning the series. Members of the Facultv and classes are invited to the games. (Lt: ; (S l d; c ; G i j X (L j €jt ; X ; k P (L% ' CL l d ) ! ( : Gi O n i cs l G c Q - 1 K.S.AC ASSOCIATIONS Y. W. C. A. THE fiiiidainental i)urpose of the Young Women ' s Christian Associa- tion for the past year has been to develop the Christian Hfe of the individual girl by making her religion the vital part of her everj ' - day life. As a result of this purpose, there has been through the entire school a strong spirit of unity, good fellowship and friendliness among the girls. A second aim has been to train the girls to be definitely responsi- ble for the accomplishment of some part of the work. This has been attained through various committees, chief of which are the Religious Meet- ings, Bible Study, Membership, Social, Missionary, Finance, Intercollegiate, Lookout and Music. The Religious Aleetings Committee has charge of furnishing topics and leaders for regular Saturday noon meetings, also leaders for the daily prayer circle. Sub-chairmen have been used on this committee, as well as on others, where the responsibility was tpo great for one person. The work of the Bible and Mission Study classes has been especially succe ssful this year in numbers as well as spirit, the Bible classes ' enrollment having increased one-half over that of last year, and the Mission Study classes having tripled. The object of the : Iembership Committee has been not only to increase the membership of the Association, but also to influence the girls to affiliate with some church. The membership of the Y. W. C. A. is larger than ever before, which fact proves the efficiency of the committee. This year ' s budget is the largest in the history of the Association, but through the earnestness of the Finance Committee, and the loyal support of the Regents. Faculty, townspeople and others the entire amount has been raised. Thus through the earnestness and willingness of the girls of each committee the achievements of the past year have been gratifying; but for next year we 3 re hoping and praying for even greater results, trusting in the promise c ontained in our National Association motto: Xot by Might, nor by Power, but by .My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. 195 DL ' RIXG the opening days of the college year, many students are brought for the first time into contact with that splendid organ- ization known as the Young Men ' s Christian Association. There are three distinct lines of work covered by this Asso- ciation, the spiritual, mental and physical, but their first object is to lead young men to accept Christ as their personal helper, and to advance their spiritual growth. At the beginning of each term an effort is made to induce closer fellowship among all the new and old students by means of some social function. Classes are organized at the beginning of each col- lege year for a systematic study of the Bible and missions. Sunday after- noon meetings, conducted by inspiring leaders, are held off and on through- out the year. Also a mid-week meeting, conducted by a capable student. for discussing such topics as are of vital interest to college men. is held each week. As our new building contains a large gymnasium, every member is allowed the privilege of gymnasium work. Even.- student entering college is eligible to membership in this Asso- ciation, and should ally himself with it at the first opportunity, for he will gain pleasure, inspiration and knowledge from the fellowship thus secured. ■.

Several attempts to establish a student publicatio ' lad been made previous to this time, with no success. The Herald was published first in newspaper style, later changed to a magazine, and in the fall of 1907, it was published, for the first time, as a semi-weekly. It is still issued as a semi-weekly newspaper, devoted to the publication of college and inter-collegiate news. The Herald is con- trolled exclusively by students, published in the interest of the students, and is considered their official representative. The Heu.vld supports all college enterprises and comments editorially upon all phases of student life, in a conservative and broad manner, it has just completed a prosperous year, receiving estimable support from Faculty, student and business men of Manhattan. Since last fall it has been published in a downtown printing house, in issues varying from six to twelve pages. During one week of the winter term, one regular issue, a special contest number and twelve page extra edition were issued. With the continued support and cooperation of those interested.

Membership to the Association is open to all students in the Civil. Electrical and Mechanical Engineering courses. Members of the Engineer- ing Faculty and Alumni Engineers are honorary members. The Associa- tion meets on the lirst Saturday evening of each month during the college year. These meetings consist of lectures given by the members of the Engineering Facultv with practical demonstration in the laboratory when- ever possible. Also readings, discussions, topics in general of interest to engineers. Music and special numbers for amusement make up the pro- grams. The EngiiiccHu Index, the paper of the Association, is read at each regular meeting, and is a digest of current news. Aside from the advantages gained from the mutual exchange of ideas the Association endeavors to give to its members good discussions on Engineering subjects, and research work, also opportunity to prepare and deliver technical papers, and a training in parliamentar - law. The Association brings its members in closer relation with practical modem Engineering. To accomplish this the Association endeavors to obtain men of reputation to lecture on new methods of recent discover],- along the subject of Engineering. With about fifty enthusiastic members and the prospects of a club room in the new Engineering building the outlook is bright for the future of the Association.

ENFIELD, Chairman W. C. LANE. S«:relaiy TIllC AincTican Institiue uf Electrical Engineers is the national sciciety of the electrical engineer profession. It was founded in 1884. when the electrical industry was in its infancy, and the re- markahle progress in the applications of electricity has been accom- panied by a parallel development of the Institute. All branches of electrical engineering are represented in the member- ship of the Institute, which includes constructing engineers, professors of electrkal engineering, chief engineers, managers and other officers asso- ciated with large electrical projects. The number of members at the close of last year was over six thousaml. and almost every country on the globe is represented. Ten regular monthly meetings are held in Xew York each jear, at which questions of importance to the engineer are given a thorough dis- cussion. These discussions are published in the Proceedings of the Insti- tute, a monthly magazine edited by the officers of the Institute. These papers are collected into book form and published semi-annually as the Transactions of the Institute. These volumes of the Transactions furnish the most complete and authoritative reference librarv on electrical engi- neering in existence. In order that students in Electrical Engineering in college may get some practical knowledge of ciuestions which are occupying the attention of the leaders in the profession, permission has been granted by the parent society to organize student branches in accredited colleges which maintain courses in Electrical Engineering. All Electrical Engineering students are eligible to these branches. The K. S. A. C branch was organized and received its charter on January 10, 1908. It started out with a memliership of 25 and at the time of its organization was one of eight such branches west of Chicago. Since that time there have been several more branches organized in nearby schools. The branch holds a meeting the first Tuesday of each month in the academic year. At these meetings the discussions are either reports of original investigations or are reviews and discussions of papers published in the Proceedings. It is the intention to secure engineers of prominence to present lectures and papers before the branch as often as possible. The meetings have been a great help to the students in keeping them abreast of the latest engineering practice and in bringing them in touch with the leaders of the profession. 203 Motto More Farmers. Better Farming. THE Agricultural Association of the Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege was organized in the fall of 1902 by a few energetic students, who realized the need of an organization which had for its aim the stud) ' of agricultural problems, and the preparation of men for that special work. The scope of this work is fully as large as the name implies, and considers agriculture in the broadest sense. The organizers saw the need for college and state of men with special training along agricultural lines : men who know how to deal with the jM ' oblems that concern the agri- cultural classes. It is the purpose of the association to take up those things which make good students and citizens ; to profit by the experience of others ; to reason correctly and develop good judgment. The association studies not only tlie production, of wealth, but also how to get value in exchange for it. Our meetings embody the foregoing principles, and in so doing teach those things which will be of value, in later years, in dealing with fellow men. This is particularly true in puljlic duties, which require a knowledge of parliamentary practice coupled with literary work and the ability to give in public an expression of ideas. There are held under the auspices of the association annual stock and grain judging contests, from which are chosen the stock judging team to represent the college in the student ' s judging contests at the International and American Royal Live Stock Shows, and the grain judging team, which represents the college at the National Corn Exposition.

Tbis splendid tropby was first competed for at tbe Amer- ican Royal Live Stock Sbow in 1907 and was won by tbe Iowa team. In the second contest the Iowa team and all otber competing teams went down in defeat before Professor R. J. Kinzer ' s aggregation of judges. Tbe five men constituting a team are selected by tbe records made in regular class work in stock judging. In order to secure permanent possession of the trophy it must be won three successive times, and it is up to the coming classes to produce the men who are able to follow in the footsteps of the ' 09 boys. An educa- tional contest of this kind is of great value to the colleges competing, as ' ell as to tbe individual students. 209 TME ' eterinary Medical Association of K. S. A. C, altliough only in its infancy, stands for more than does any other sci entific organ- ization of the college. It was organized in the fall of 1906 for the pnrpose of studying the scientitic subjects intimately connected w ith the course in veterinar)- medicine, and to advance the literary and social development of its members. As quite often is the case, the association, in establishing a reputa- tion for itself, has had some difficulties to contend with, the greatest of these being the lack of a suitable meeting place ; but with the Veterinary building this problem is, for the present at lea.st, solved. Programs are prepared by a program committee and are of an instruct- ive and an entertaining nature. In addition to the assigned topics for discussion, the students who practice veterinary medicine through the sum- mer are called upon from time to time to relate some of their experiences, which are of much interest. In these talks will often be found many humor- ous ex])eriences, incidents relative to every-day life of the average prac- titioner, and hints to the younger members of the association as to what they may expect when thrown upon their own resources. Different mem- bers of the veterinary instructors frequently appear before the associa- tion to talk upon various subjects of interest. The association gives a diploma, signed by the president of the asso- ciation and by the head of the ' eterinary Department, to each graduat- ing member who has shown himself wurtli)- of this honor by his work in the association. The Students Co-Operative Association SOMETIME in the fall of 1899 a few public-spirited students of the Kansas State Agricultural College began a campaign for the Organ- ization of a Students ' Cooperative Association with the purpose of furnishing the College students supplies and board at a figure ap- proximating its cost. Interest was aroused and the organization effected, the members of the Association going down into their pockets to set the movement on foot. Prior to this time C. C. Jackson was in charge of a book store run bj- the College. However, in a short time this enterprise was allowed to lan- guish and fall by the wayside. There being no competition prices then went up until flesh and spirit would bear it no longer and the present Students ' Cooperative Association was the outgrowth. After the Coops. effected an organization, the stock of goods owned by the College was turned over to them at cost, and they removed their place of business from the main building (. nderson Hall) to a building just across the street along the east side of the College Campus. The first officers and the men most active in the new venture were : C. D. ilontgomery. ' 00. President: E. Emrick. ' 00. Dining Hall Manager; Floyd Howard, present Farm Foreman, Manager of Uniform Department; and H. B. Kempton. Bookstore Manager. Kempton left school that winter and H. H. Rilex- carried the bookstore the remainder of that vear. For the year 1900-1901 H. S. Bourne, 01. was President: Geo. : Iartinson. ' 01. Dining Hall lanager; and C. J. Burson. ' 01, Bookstore Manager. For the following year R. K. Taber was elected President but died during the summer and no one was selected to take his place. J- T. Ross. 02. was Dining Hall Manager and C. F. Smith. ' 02. had charge of the bookstore. That year the Association grew and waxed strong, but the fol- lowing year lost some of its ground. H. T. Xeilson. ' 03. became the next President, with R. F. Bourne. ' 03. Dining Hall Manager, and John Tomp- kins. Bookstore lanager. Bourne did not open the dining hall and Tomp- kins left at the beginning of the winter term. The bookstore was then turned over to the President and the most difficult condition presented itself. Unpaid bills from both dining hall and bookstore came pouring in and with these the unwilling manager struggled through two years, for he was chosen to fill the position into which he inadvertently fell. In spite of his energy the affairs of the . ssociation came near falling into the bottomless pit. He held the bookstore up but the stockholders were few in number and enough could seldom be gathered together at one time to carry on the business of the Association. Before his graduation, upon his own judgment, he arranged with Mr. Correll. of Manhattan, to build a roomy home for the Association which should be taken for five years at a certain rental. The bookstore had outgrown the little two-roomed house at the east College gate, and some radical steps were necessary through which the .Association might gain a new lease on life. This proved the dawning of a brighter day and development has been marked since the Association moved over into the building on More street . The following Bookstore Managers have served the students and the Association since Mr. Neilson ' s graduation: ' 03- ' 04, T. L. Pitman ; ' 04- ' 05, C. L. Tompson; ' OS- ' Ori, C. S. [ones; ' 06- W, L. M. Jorgenscm ; ' 07- ' 09. F. W. Winter. When the lease held from Mr. Correll expired in the fall of ' 08 a new and substantial building owned exclusively by the Association and located on the northeast corner of Moro street and Manhattan avenue was waiting for occupancy. This has now become the permanent home of the Asso- ciation. It is needless to dwell upon the self-sacrifice, honesty and hard work that has brought about the growth and development of the institution. I- ' ew there are who can appreciate it and these few are the ones who have been most intimate with the afi ' airs of the Association. The store occupies a legitimate field, belongs to the students, saves them money and certainly merits their support both outside and in the Associa- tion. Its stock sells at $2.00 per share and this entitles the holder to a five per cent discount on all purchases and a voice in the affairs of the Asso- ciation. , The constitiiti in and organizatiim has always been of rather loose con- struction, but a movement is now gaining headway among the students and the alumni, whereby all this may be remedied and the institution made per- manent in all that it has attained with an enlarged field and less of risk for the future. - . A. 1 ii:. k. ]k.. ' Oh. 214 ALUMNI Wlll ' . ilic young graduate leaves tlie halls of his Alma Mater and pauses at the campus gate for a last glimpse of the en- chanted palace which has grown so strangel}- familiar and dear, 1 know those last regrets and longings center chiefly about the old haunts and the friends and classmates so closely associated in the near past — so soon to be widely separated. Very little, if any, thought does he give to the Alumni family into which he has just made his entrance, or, if he does consider the matter, it is probably with a feel- ing of indifference. The ensuing months are spent in finding his place in the old work-a-day world, in adjusting himself to it and in over- coming those first heartaches thai mark his passing from the glamor of the ideal into reality. Then one day he awakes with a thrill of pride to the realization that he still holds a place in the life of his Ahna Plater, that he is an alumnus of his college — and that name seems good to him. Thereafter, if he is a true and worthy son of his Alma Plater, not only will he have the sentiment of loyalty toward her, but he will not cease to study her needs and plan for her advancement. Thirty years ago a few enthusiastic alumni, feeling an aching void, took upon themselves the work of organizing an .Alumni Association. Their constitution and by-laws apparently shared in some of the defects of the Articles of Confederation as regards finance, for history ■ has it that for the first few years most of the expenses to be met were paid from the pocket of the long-suffering treasurer. After a time, strange to relate, there was very little competition for the office of treasurer, and the day finally came when measures were taken to divide the honors of contribution somewhat more equally. It is a deplorable fact, however, that even today the treasury is not over-burdened by the ducats of the faithful. Dating from the eighties, a reunion and banquet has been held triennially, and it is intended to make these times general home-comings. ' On each of these occasions an address has been given bv some mem- ber of the association. The annual business meeting is held tluring com- mencement week, at which time the visiting ahinuii with the resident alumni plan and work as well as may be, considering the fact that the former aggregation varies largely in its individuals from year to year. It is true that while our alumni individually are devoted to the interests of the college, the organization thus far has been but a makeshift, and will continue so until plans are devised whereby all alumni are given oppor- tunity to vote upon proposed measures brought before the association. ' ith this improvement would arise also the question of annual dues, which each one must pay before he should be afforded the privilege of membership. These reforms are slow in appearing, but they must come if we would keep abreast of the times. Events in the past few months have shown that there are dangers which threaten the very being of our college. At a word, alumni in what- soever place they have been found, have shown themselves willing and eager to strike a blow in her defense: yet under our organization there has been no chance for concerted action. If our Alma .Mater is to be removed from the besmirching influences of political machinations, it nuist be through the efforts of a strong, well organized Alumni Associa- tion. Who has her welfare most at heart — who better fitted to judge of her needs? A number of capable alumni have already been honored with positions on the Board of Regents, but their number has been far too small, and under existing conditions there is no possibility of sufficient organized agitation to insure such appointments as a regular thing. It is encouraging to note the number of local associations that have been created, and it is not difficult to foresee that our ilesired aims will be accomplished through these branches as they grow in numbers and enthusiasm. Just now we have ten such organizations — Kansas City, ' ashington, D. C, Chicago, Eastern States, Seattle, Topeka, Southern California. Grand Junc- tion, Colo. : Wabaunsee, Kan., and Manhattan. Others will probably spring up before long where there are as many as two or three gathered to- gether, antl so much more effort will be used to spread the gospel of the Kansas State Agricultural College. In the college l ibrary hang the oil portraits of the three deceased ex-presidents, Denison, Anderson and Fairchild. The project to secure these paintings was begun by the Alumni Association several years ago, but the pictures were not completed until last summer. The question of memorial gifts to the college has received very little attention in the past, hence this is the first successful attempt of the kind to be made by the association. The Alumxus. the official alumni journal, has for its purpose service to the college and the inspiration of a fraternal spirit among the alumni. The magazine is owned by a company of alumni stockholders, and is edited by one of their number. Every year brings a welcome increase in our ' membership, and now we gladly open our door and our hearts to receive the class of nineteen nine. Surely with this infusion of new life there should come to us added possibilities that shall enable us to work joyfully and unitedly for the honor and glory of our Alma Mater! 216 z 3 H a s o z I H «■ c 3 as 5 £ % a; 1- 1 1 c I c i c 2 ° (2.= c. 1 2 B. je si Km OH 0.

Gill A Page in History TllICRE is mit a stiulent. alumnus or friend of K. S. A. C. who is nut entirely familiar with every phase of the narrative here related, no one but remembers as though it were yesterday, how a danger threat- ened our beloved college in the early part of the year that brought e ery stuilent. alumnus and friend into united action to battle for her rights, }ca her very existence, and how the struggle culminated not only in victory, but in a blessing to the institutimi. perhaps still somewhat in disguise, the end of which can not even now be foretckl. We repeat the story here simply to preserve it to future generations, for it will form a chapter in the history of K. S. A. C. that will interest generations of students yet unborn, and we who are bidding farewell to our college home will in after years, perhaps when hairs are streaked with gray and eyes bedimmed with age, turn again and often read the story of the most crit- ical series of events, and their outcome, in the history of the College to the present. The phenomenal growth of the College has brought about a com- plicated state of affairs between state educational institutions, such as did not exist when K. S. A. C. was small and practically unknown. The leaps and biuniK liy which the College grew did not pass unnoticed by certain inHuences that were anything but friendh ' to the College. To iliis source is credited the reopening of the agitation to make of K. S. A. C. a strictly. Farmers College. eliminating certain departments under Mechanic Arts. This ciutstion bad been agitated at intervals for years; in fact it has existed since the infanc - of the College, the question ever resolving itself into oj)inions on the inter])retations of the term Mechanic Arts. T.ittle heed had been ]iaid to these matters by the student body in jarticular. whn were ignorant of the underlying causes. But the College authorities saw the gathering clouds and knew it wuuld be Init a questii.n; of time until the storm would break. The dissatisfaction existing in certain more or less prominent circles as to the policy of the College, united with the influences, began the contention to eliminate the Department of Engineering as it now exists. The battle proper began in the summer of 1908, when a meeting of the three state schools was called by Governor Hoch, looking towaril a solu- tion of the problem of duplication of studies as charged against K. S. A. C, ami in turn against the university. Nothing came of these meetings, un- less it was that to the discerning ones the great struggle became more im- 242 minent. but what form it would take could not then be foretold. This became very clear, however, soon after the legislature convened in Janu- ary, 1909. A bill, of which Regent Edwin Taylor of K. S. A. C. was the author, was introduced into the Senate by Senator A. S. Cooke, of Beloit. A sim- ilar bill was brought before the House by Representative Brown, of King- man. These provided that the Engineering Department should be cur- tailed, which in substance meant the elimination of the last two years of each of the three courses. The bills also added that the university be forbidden to otter courses in agriculture, and a few minor subjects related to that science. It has often been stated that these measures before the legislature did not warrant the great turmoil that followed, but to those who had noted the trend of events this was but a first attempt, a feeler so to speak, and that the proper method of procedure was to let slip the war dogs and fight for principle from the start. Knowing that the majority sentiment of the legislature and of the people of Kansas is normally with K. S. A. C, the advocates of the bills mentioned strove to impress upon the lawmakers the fact that these meas- ures would prove a great blessing to the College, since the curtailing of the engineering courses meant the lessening of expense, which would then give to the other departments extra funds. This and other similar argu- ments of a deceptive nature are responsible for wdiat support was given this proposed legislation. It did not take long for K. S. . . C. people to realize that things were really coming to the danger point, and that it was high time to begin an aggressive fight. The student body was the first to act ; in fact, the students led the fight from start to finish. At an after chapel meeting the College Promotion Club was organized among the students. On Saturday evening, January 23d, a mass meeting was held in the Auditorium, at which methods of procedure were discussed and adopted. The entire assembly voted as a unit on all propositions. The students were instructed not only to write to the mem- bers in the legislature, but to urge their parents and friends in the home districts to do likewise. The newspapers throughout the state were given the facts and did a mighty work. Student representatives were sent to Topeka to lobby against the proposed legislation. The alumni and Man- hattan townspeople acted with the student body. When all this machinery of the College was finally brought in motion there was literally some- thing doing. Letters began to arrive at the state capitol addressed to members of the legislature. 244 The first came from students, then followed those from the students ' parents, then those of their neighbors and friends, until a perfect avalanche flooded the desks of the lawmakers. Home papers arrived with editorial upon editorial on the duty of the legislature to K. S. A. C. Advice, threats, petitions were mingled w-ith each other. Be careful hdw ynu mmikfy wit h the College of the common people of Kansas. Whatever else you do, don ' t you touch K. S. A. C. These were samples of some of the warnings given through the press. Many of the lawmakers became alarmed. They. had had visions of an- other term in the legislature and also remembered campaign promises. They rushed into print in their home papers declaring that they were for K. S. A. C. first, last and all the time. The battle was almost won, but the fight did not stop. At noon on Wednesday, January 2()th, another mass meeting of the students was called. A movement had been started to trans- port the legislature bodily to Manhattan and let them see for themselves the work being done at K. S. A. C. A call was made for those willing to pledge a dollar each to defray expenses ; the entire body of students rose as one man. The invitations were sent to Topeka and were accepted without a dissenting vote by both houses. On Wednesday, February 3, 1909, the forty-sixth anniversary of the signing of the land grant act by President Lincoln, which brought K. S. A. C. into existence, a special train with flying banners bearing 285 mem- bers of the legislature, state officials and newspaper men rolled out of Topeka, bound for Manhattan. The day was one that will never be for- gotten. The weather was as mild as on a day in June. Everything was laid open for the closest inspection of the distinguished visitors, for whom the day was a succession of pleasant surprises. Little had they dreamed of the greatness of the institution upon which they had been asked to work an injury. Who can forget the chapel exercises of that memorable morn- ing in the Auditorium? How one after another of the lawmakers arose on the platform pledging his most earnest support to the great College with which thev had really just begun to get acquainted. The announce- ment by Speaker Dolley that the bills which had caused all the trouble were safe in the waste basket brought forth a deafening cheer. If there was a single straggler in the entire party who had not yet been fully won over to the cause of K. S. A. C, the dinner that followed in the D. S. building proved the undoing of that one. Here the old adage concerning the relation between a man ' s heart and stoiuach was again abun- dantly verified. The day ' s entertainment closed with military maneuvers by the Cadet Battalion, after which the distinguished guests returned to their legisla- tive halls, their minds made up on one point, that so long as it was in their power to defend her, old K. S. A. C. should never come to harm. 246 Calendar 1908-1909 September 16. Entrance examinations. Many Freshmen arrive. September 17. Seniors start college by giving college and class yells.

MILKING TIME LAE Soils, Crups, Agronomy A( ;i ( ). ( iMN ' inchulc-s tdir a-iural liiu-s nt sti I ' arm Mcoliaiiics and Farm .Mana!, ' emeiit. I lie study of Soils in Agronomy is in part an a])pIicatio:; of the sciences of Geolo jy. Physics. Chemistry and I ' acteriolo jy. It includes practice methods in soil tillage and cultivation, and deals mainly with the i)liysical and fertility ))roblems of the soil. The word Crops indicates the character of the studv. and includes not only a study of the plants which comprise the great farm crops, but also their meth(«ls of breeding, culture, harvesting, marketing, uses. etc. l- ' arm .Mechanics includes the application of physical and mechanical princi])les and facts to farming operations, and deals largely with the machinery of the farm and the principles of farm-building construction. l- ' arm Management is the j)ractical application of all the facts, prin- c:])les and sciences related to agriculture in the conduction or management of the farm, and the study of Farm Management ' is a studv of the farm- ing business in all its wide variatimis of class, character and place. Animal Husbandry Ri=:. LiziN(; that success in general agriculture depends verv largelv on the selection of a profitable type of farm animals, this course has been so arranged as to give the student special instructions in the selection, breeding, feeding, marketing and management of all classes of live stock. Attention is also given to sanitary conditions in connection with live stock and treat- ment of all the more common forms of diseases to wliich farm animals are subject. The work as outlined in this course is designed to teach the science that underlies practical agriculture. Sufficient English, literature, mathe- matics, history and other supplementary studies are maintained in this course to the level of any other profession. Many positions are open to young men with thorough training along this line of work, such as teachers, managers of live-stock farms and ranches, field men for agricultural pub- lications, commission-house buyers and sellers, government work, and many others. 251 AUDITORIUM DAIR ! ' HALL Dairy Department Uairvinh;. as distincl fruni the oIIkt branches of agriculture, was first recogniized by tlic Board of Regents in 1898, and on July 10, 1901, i . was made a distinct department. There is a larger demand for trained men to fill pc)Kitions along dairy lines at good salaries than the department can fill. By good management the department has been enabled to add to the dairy herd, and to add to the other laboratory equiiiment a new refrigerating and ice-making plant. During the last year the course has been revised and strengthened. As a result the Dairy De]jartment. though cramped for room and in need of a larger api)ropriation, is offering one of the strongest courses in dairying in the United States. The Poultry Department Poultry instruction is one of the new branches of instruction pre- scribed by the Board of Regents last spring. The branch itself is, however, under the protection of the Dairy Department, and will probably remain there until its importance and development w-arrants its being made into a separate department. The Seniors who elect a year ' s work spend most of their time for lab- oratory periods at the plant, feeding chickens, running incubators, etc. At the present time different phases of the feeding and breeding problems are among the experiments. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the work, both by the farmers of the state and students of the college, so that everything points to a prosperous future for the work. Horticultural Department The ambition of the Department of Horticulture and Forestry is to teach young men and women to apply the principles of botany, physics, chemistry and other sciences to the successful culture of plants ; to teach these young people to grow to know and to enjoy good plants ; to know them by name and to know their natures ; their needs, and how to supply them : to fully appreciate the real value and beauty of trees and shrubs, fruits, flowers, and the liomely garden vegetables ; and all to the end that the state may be made richer because of the forests, the landscapes, the or- chards, the gardens, the happy homes that these children of K. S. A. C. shall plant and grow and build : that the world be made brighter and belter by m. lring the people healthy and happy, busy and wise. Veterinary Science Course The work is arranged to give instruction along those lines which will insure the graduation of veterinarians thoroughly qualified in every respect. The course, e.xtending over three years, gives the student ample opportunity to obtain a thorough, practical education in veterinary science. It is based 253 AGRICULTURAL HALL VETERINARY SCIENCE HALL iipiiii iIk ' piinciplc of ' iviiii; a tlniruugli fdiindatidii befurc s])ccializiiig ; it tluis iiisiiros tlic firadiiatc licinj fully (|iialitic(I to enter a wide field of use- fulness. It is the aim of the course to provide a thorough education in all branches jjertaining- to veterinary science, at the same time in.slructing the .student in his duties as an American citizen. The demand for veterinarians all the world over is constantly increasing. To meet this demand this cour.se is made strong in the branches underlying the profession : anatomy, physi- ology, histology, pathology, materia medica. and bacteriology. Throughout the entire course eacli student receives personal instruction in the practical and theoretical details of tlie |)riifes iiiii. Mechanical Engineering Till-; technical studies begin in the second year when the study of kine- matics is taken u]). In this course, the the geometry of machinery is con- sidered, and a study of the development of the various mechanisms is made. The design of cams, gears, trains of wheels and quick-return motions is then taken up in the class room and followed by practical problems in the drafting room. The application of the theoretical principles to the physical properties of the materials of construction, lead to the courses in ajiplied mechanics, graphic statics, strength of materials, shop practice and machine design. In the course of strength of materials the class room work is sui ijlemented by laboratory tests on the tensile, compressive and bending strengths of the various materials used in construction, and the theoretical formuhe com- pared with the actual results. The course in graphic statics is followed by i design of complete trusses including the calculat ion of the bills of material. Tlie priiici])les underlving the performance of machinery are devel- oped by courses in steam engineering, thermodynamics, and hydraulics. In the laboratories the student is taught to make tests on engines, boilers, air compressors, and other machinery, and to prepare acceptable reports on their performance. In the laboratory the student learns also to solve difficul- ties in the running of engines and to determine the most economical methods if operation for various types of motors. In the drafting room problems are assigned calling for the design of engines, boilers, etc.: the design of buildings for power plants and factories: and the arrangement of machinery and other equipment in engineering plants. Electrical Engineering Tnr, electrical work proper is begun in the Junior year. It consists chiefly of lectures on the theory of electricity and oractical work in elec- trical measurements with high grade instruments in the electrical laboratory. The revised course of study provides for work in telephone engineering and instrument calibration. .V calibrating room has been fitted up with the necessarv instruments of precision for measuring current, potential, and watts. . verv complete line of telephone apparatus was installed the past vear, looking toward a course in tele]ihone engineering. 255 A corner of the soulli dynamo laboratory is occuijied by a sixty-cell storage battery. This battery gives a constant jjotential of 120 volts and is used for instrument calibration and for small motor work. Two high potential transformers giving 20,000 volts and f)0,000 volts respectively, are used for insulation testing and for illustrating high tension transmission. I ' .ver}- opportunity is offered for a thorough study of electrical engineering along the various lines of the best modern practice. Emphasis is laid on a judicious combination of the theory of engineering and e.xperi- niental laboratory work. Many of tiie graduates who have been in practical work for several years are now holding responsible positions with electrical manufacturing companies, or as managers or engineers for power companies. Civil Engineering TiiK civil engineering course aims to equip young men to follow one of the several branches of this profession. The scope of civil engineering is so broad that it is not feasible to attempt to make specialists of its graduates, but it is desirable to give them a thorough training in the theory and practice of the fundamental principles of the course. The principles are common to the various branches of the work, and this train- mg will enable the graduate to take up such specialt} ' as his tastes and al)ility dictate. Some of the lines of work open to the graduates of the civil engineer- ing course are : .Surveying, railroad location and maintenance, municip al engineering, hvdraulic power-plant design, bridge and structural designs, etc. .■ s in the other courses, the student ' s time is divided between the study of principles in the classroom and their applications in the drafting-room, field and laboratories. Architecture and Drawing The first instruction in drawing was given in 1870 by rvliss Lizzie I. Williams ( — Champeny), who was followed in 1876 by Miss Ella Gale ( — Kedzie). The reorganization of the college from a literary to an indus- trial institution, in 1874, by President John A. Anderson, made necessary the increase of the work in drawing and the change from art work to work of a mathematical character. This was effected by the election of Dr. Walters, a graduate of the Centonal College of . - olatluirn. Switzerland, who was then a young man fresh from college. The professor gradually succeeded in obtaining room in the curriculum for a number of terms of linear drawing, such as projection, perspective and descriptive geometry, in addition to the work in freehand drawing and object drawing. Later on three temis of special work in decoration, one color, were added for the young women in the Domestic Science Course and rn 1904 a regular four years course in .-Vrchitecture was organized which has been well patronized and has graduated several young men everv vear. 257 The increase of students made necessary the employment of additional teachers and student assistants. In 1903 Miss Ella Weeks, A. B., was elected assistant in free-hand and object drawing. She has been a member of the teaching force since then and has contributed much to the development of the women ' s course. Printing Department The four-year course in Printing recently adopted by the Board of Regents is intended to give a broadening education, with a practical knowl- edge of the trade. The College maintains and operates a well-equipped printing office. The equipment consists of a Babcock Optimus, two Chand- ler Price Gordons, an automatic Oswego power cutter, perforator, stitcher, and other modern machines, all run by electric power; a large assort- ment of job faces, all in series and in cabinets, and enough body type to keej) three stated publications going besides the numerous pamphlets, bulletins, etc., constantly on hand. Students in this course receive instruc- tion in the every-day work of the office, and this is supplemented by class- room work in scientific, biologic and cultural studies. There will be no theo- retical work — all practical. Domestic Science and Art TiiE Domestic .Science Department moved into their new building in September, 1908, and, in spite of the incompleted building, have enjoyed a j rosperous school year. Gradually equipment and furniture have been pur- chased and placed until there are six laboratories with a complete equip- ment. These laboratories will accommodate three hundred and si.xty students daily. An interesting feature of the new building is the practice dining room, with its eight small kitchens, where, during the winter and spring terms, meals are served by the girls each noon hour to at least twenty-four guests. This afifords an excellent opportunity for the girls to put into practice the lessons taxight them in the laboratories earlier in their course. The department has enrolled during the school year of 1908-1909, 46 Seniors, 58 Juniors, 200 Freshmen and 106 Short Course students. The teachers ' course will begin during the summer to a class of about twenty. The Domestic Art Department is designed to give the student, among other things, a thorough training in both plain and fancy sewing, designing, making waists, skirts and the more substantial class of gowns. Lectures and laboratory exercises cover in part plain and fancy needle work; threads, their manufacture and uses; cloth, its weave, nap and other characteristics ; practice in basting, running, hemming, overseaming, patch- ing, matching, and practice in darning linen. Work with materials begins with half-lilcached muslin, ])lain white muslin, India linon or white nainsook, flannels, fine dress goods, lace and embroidery. Elementary work witli the iiiacliiue is foUowed by advanced liand and machine sewing, draftint;, cutting, fitting and making of dresses of different materials. General Science This course is designed to meet the wants of those who seek to obtain a sound and liberal education through the study of the mathematical, phys- ■cal and natural sciences, English language, and history. It is well adapted to the student who has not yet decided upon his life-work, or who wishes to make this a foundation for further study. It is based upon the principle of a general knowledge of all things before a special knowledge of a few. It will be well worth one ' s time to take this course before beginning the work of a technical or professional course. Lalx)ratory and industrial work are a feature of this course, as of all others. The electives continuing through the junior and senior years give opportunity for special lines of study. The electives are to be taken in groups of three and the two years to be related as far as practicable. B.AND AND CAMPUS 233 ' 09 Library New Student — Are there any of the ' 10 books in here?

After the operation was completed one of the doctors missed a sponge. The patient was reopened, the sponge found within, and the man sewed up again. Immediately the second doctor missed a needle. Again the patient was opened and closed. Then the third doctor missed a pair of scissors. Gentlemen, said the victim as thej- were about to open him again, for heaven ' s sake, if you are going to keep this up, put buttons on me. Not the D. S. Kind I wish I were an ostrich. said Hicks, angrily, as he tried to eat one of his wife ' s biscuits but couldn ' t. I wish you were, returned Mrs. Hicks, I ' d get a few feathers for mv hat.

Sunshine and calm invited the maidens to eat their luncheons seated on the newly springing grass. Where the maiden is there will the youth be also. All went merry as a marriage bell. The unrest that winter ' s rigor had sealed within the frame had in certain instances found vent in sundry stunts not on the regular schedule. But suddenly a chill seemed to strike the air; the March wind roused itself, swirled the dust aloft and formed it into a series of ominous 23s. Solemn-visaged figures approach, each bearing a card on which is printed in funereal color. Faculty Meet- ing 2:45 P. M. They evidently take themselves very seriously. Each knocked on the door of A30. A voice within challenged, ' Who comes here? The solemn one answered A favorite child of Minerva. Goddess of Reason. Show your credentials. The favorite child wrote his name on the card and passed it in through a thin crack. After a suitable (ielay. during which the card received close scrutiny within, the bearer was permitted to enter. His card was retained lest he might attempt to com.e in twice. Precisely at 2 :45 a rather silent personage clothed in dignity and a spring .suit, and usually in his right mind. said. The Faculty will please come to order. The Scrutinizer will call the roll of Minerva ' s children, continued the silent one. who in the inner circles is known as PrexA-. The Faculty had registered under false names, as they are a wan- bunch and wish to be able to side-step the subsequent if need be. The Scrutinizer read from the cards : Die Schweiz : Here. ' Willtalk: Here. Mer- rick; Here. Blitz: Here. Psycheever ; Here. McChanic: Here. Dick; Here. ' Edge ; ' Here. Cooke : ' Here. Worth: Here. Calmmore ; Here. Duetschlieb : Here. Hill : Here. Goodliver ; Here. Koenig; Here. Headlight; Here. Can- dle; Here. Gutenberg; Here. Dresser: Present. Brunette; Here. ' ' Twenty have responded to your summons. Most Dignified Prexv. said the Scrutinizer. Quorum present, though it seems that Minerva didn ' t start all her children on time. Meanwhile three fearless Juniors, ' 09. had crawled through dirt and danger, cobwebs and junk and now had their trusty ears glued to the well- worn gimlet holes through the floor. Throughout the dreary afternoon they stuck to their holes. Although they could hear but a small part of what was said, they heard enough so that with imagination ' s indispensable inspiration the account now first given to the world becomes possible. Prexy, reading orders of the day : Reports of Heads of Departments. . nything under this head? Professor Worth : I wish to inquire concerning Miss Katherine Prettyways. She has been absent a number of times lately and has been !oing very poor work all the term. She made a bad failure at mid-term. 275 Pr()1-i;ssou Wii.i.tai.k : Is hc tlic ciirl -iitadcd girl mat goes willi that addle-pated frat boy, Ike Libbey? I ' uoKiiSsoR Due Sciivvuiz: I think so. J tiiiiik hc is the same one that came in here one day when I was holding down the executive chair and wanted to get excused for the rest of the day. I referred her to I ' rofossor Cooke. Mks. Cooke: She came over all right. I looked at her throat an l 1k ' had quite a marked tonsilitis. I suspected that she had been staying out too late nights and told her to go home and go to bed and stay there for two days. I also swaljbed her throat with campho-pheni(|ue. Slie didn ' t like that, as she said she was invited out for the evening and carbolic acid on her breath was worse than onions. Profussor C. M)lk: She went just the -anic. I noticed the carbolic acid. At this ]xiint there was a knock on the doc r. the customary challenge and reply and a belated child of Minerva slipped his card through the crack. After much study the Scrutinizer made it out to be indorsed Lord-Bobbs, and opened the door. Mrs. Cooke: The trouble with Kitty Prettyways is that she has prob- ably never been away from home before and has bo -s on her mind too much for study. Professor Psyciiee er : I am glad to hear that. Too manv of tlie young women that have gone out from this institution are old maids. I took a cross-section of Miss Prettyway ' s heart with the sphvgmograph one tlay and noticed that it showed an abnormal tremor. I told her that she was inclined to be too cold and that she ought to cultivate her afTectional nature. I recommended the Song of Solomon and recited to her that beauti- ful passage beginning: The oicc of my beloved! behold lie cometh. Leaping upon the nionptains. Skipping upon the hillf. It seemed to have considerable effect on her which I am glad to know is continuing. I tell yon, we graduate too many old maids. Professor Die Schweiz: To resume — I believe that Miss Prettyways thinks altogether too much about the boys. I remember when Professor Shelton was yet here he had an item in the Iiidiistrialisf in which he said something like this: There have been a nutnber of cases of measles among the students this spring, also several bad cases of mash, but between the measles and the mash give us the measles black and spotted. I think the P ofessor was about right. Professor Psychee er: ' c graduate too many old maids. Professor ' ortii : I think we ought to have some rule about these things: I don ' t believe we have, and the girls and boys naturally think there i- no limit. I think we should have a rule. Professor Wili.t.vlk: If j ' ou will look in the catalogue you will find this : Undue social attentions will not be allowed. That covers the case, .AH we need to do is to enforce the rules we already have. 277 I ' koi ' KSSuk DKUTSCiii.iiiB : Miss I ' rettyways does not apply herself. I have been trying all the term to teach her to say Ich Hebe. She usually gets its Itch leeb, but at other times says Ik libbie. Pkoi-kssou W ' im.tai.k : That proves it. She ' s the one who goes with Ike Libbey. Proi-ics.sok Calmmoki:: She does remarkably well with me. ( )nly the other day she read an Oriental prose poem most feelingly and delightfully. 1 don ' t know where she got it, but the last lines were. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Professor Psych eevkk: Good for her. Tiiat ' s the poem I recited to her. Professor Edge: I think she needs a course in spelling. Miss Pop- corn showed me one of her themes in which she spelt turtle ' t-u-r-t-e-1. Professor Cai.mmoke: Didn ' t she bring some creilits from the Uni- versity ? Professor Edge: She tried to get some but I couldn ' t give her any. When students come here I insist upon their getting some real College work in English. There was another knock, challenge, reply and scrutiny and Professor Ten-Strike was admitted. Professor McCiiaxic: Most Dignified Prexy, if these gentlemen have freed their minds concerning tliat feminine triviality I would like to bring up a matter of some importance. Prexy: Go ahead. Professor. Professor AIcChaxic: Last week, Friday, every man cut Professor Potorfsky ' s class in thermodynamics. Professor Willt. lk : I don ' t blame them. Professor McChaxic: The next day they all handed in excuses giv- ing cold feet as the reason for absence. It seems to me that something ought to be done about it. Professor Die Sciiweiz: There have been innumerable complaints concerning the heating this winter : I think. Professor, you depend too much on short-course boys for firing. Professor C.m.mmore: I have noticed a shaking of their knees when some of the young men are giving their readings. I presume they had cold feet, too. Professor Dick : I c.m deeply ])ained and shocked beyond expression that these boys in claiming that they were scared should make use of the language of gamblers. The morality of our students is at a low ebb, I fear. Professor Die Schweiz: I think the difficulty is that many of the boys do not clothe themselves in a suitable manner. I think we have reached a point where we might make a rule that all young men attending the College shall wear socks. W ' c will not then have much trouble in this way. I make a motion to that effect. Professor Wili.t lk: It seems to me that we already have more rules than we can keep track of and the result is that nobody but me pays any attention to thein. The catalogue says that General good conduct such 279 as becomes men and women anywhere i= expected of all. 1 think that covers the question of socks. I believe, too, that most of the boys are well supplied. 1 noticed recently in chapel that while giving some sort of yell they kept time by waving . ' iocks around their heads. I couldn ' t understand the yell exactly, but it seemed to be an expression of satisfaction in the possession of socks, as nearly as I could make out. Professor McCii. nic: I still think some means should be devised for preventing students from cutting classes in a body. It ' s conspiracy. Professor Blitz: How would it do to try making your subject so entertaining that the boys would want to go to the class? Professor McChaxic: We ' re not running a circus. Professor Tex-Strike: Mr. Prexy, I was late getting here, but even then I had to put off letters from about five hundred men who are waiting to hear from me before they can sow their oa ts. The rust will strike ' em before they get ripe sure if I don ' t get them to sow right away. I came over because I thought the courses of study were going to come up. It seems to me we ought to get enough agriculture in the courses to amount to something. One-third of our graduates never study agriculture an hour. It ' s a disgrace. Professor Wh-Ltalk: You don ' t mean graduates, do you? You refer to the sub-Freshmen, do you not? Professor Ten-Strike: No, I mean just what I say; one-third of our graduates don ' t get no agriculture. Professor ' illtalk : I don ' t see it. All the boys get one term, any- way, the one in the Freshman year. Professor Tex-Strike: That ' s just it, the boys get a little, but the girls don ' t. It ' s a big mistake. The bulk of these girls will mary chumps who never studied agriculture under me, and if their wives can ' t tell ' em anything they ' ll be in a fix. that ' s all. Professor Edge: I am more and more convinced that our students, and especially those in the agricultural courses, need more study of English. Professor Tex-Strike: Of course English is a good thing, espe- cially in this country where so many speak that language, but a boy that ' s got any snap can pick that up any time. He don ' t need to study grammar. Let him read the experiment station bulletins on corn judging. He ' ll find lots of good examples there and not lose a term ' s time, either. Professor Ierrick : I think it is going rather too far to require the girls to study agriculture, but I certainly think they should take trigonom- etry-. It is very essential. Professor Willtalk : I think a little arithmetic would be better for them, and for the boys. too. for that matter. Xot one in ten can calculate the percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate, something that everj ' one needs to know. Professor Psvcheever: What good is trigonometry to a girl compared with a course in psychology ' hat ' 5 it good for. anyway? Professor Merrick: Why. a girl cannot cut put a dress or even cut a pie accurately without trigonometry. 281 Professor Wii.ltalk: I don ' t care whether she can cut a pie accu- r;.tely or not provided she passes it to me first. Professor Lord-Bobbs: I am disposed to accept the view that a thoroughly comprehensive presentation of certain of the simpler applica- tions of the elementary arithmetical processes would, on the whole, prove to be more suitable in meeting the matliematical requirements and correct- ing the logical deficiencies of the average woman as we observe her today. i )nly the other day I asked Katherine Pretty ways, with whom some of you may be acquainted, what characteristics would be exhibited by the progeny of a hybrid between an awned variety of Trificmii vulgare and an awnless variety. She said one-half would be barley, one-half rye, and one-half a heterozygous hybrid. That wasn ' t such bad botany for a girl ; but when I asked her how many halves there are in a dollar she said seventy-five cents. I vote for arithmetic. AIrs. Cooke : I favor giving the girls trigonometry just to let the boys know that girls are as smart as boys. I favor giving the boys cook- ing and dishwashing . ' o that they can be made useful under the skillful guidance of those wives Professor Ten-Strike is going to arrange for. I believe even a veterinarian might be made useful if placed under efficient management. Dr. Gooni.nER: T believe with .St. Paul that women should keej) silence. Mrs. Cooke: Especially some women. Dr. Goodi.iver : Yes, especially those women who meddle in other peo- ple ' s business. What does a professor of domestic science know about the needs of boys? Mrs. Cooke: A woman who is the mother of a family knows as much about boys as any man who isn ' t. Dr. Goodliver : That appears to me to be somewhat illogical, but Fll not argue the point. Mrs. Cooke: My observation is that when a man cannot answer a woman he claims that she is illogical and that the men who cannot hold their own in an argument with women are the ones who want them to keep silence, not only in the churches, as Paul advised, but everywhere else. Professor Brunette (Aside to Professor Dick) : Cookie ' s getting hot. isn ' t she? Don ' t you think she is liable to get to® brown? Professor Dick : She is frying the liver good and plenty anyhow. Another late arrival was duly admitted in the person of General Mars, who was followed at once by Miss Truforni. Prexy: What is the further pleasure of the Faculty? Professor Die Schweiz: I move that we adjourn. . iJ. : Second the motion. Pre.xy: Before adjourning I wish to again caution the Faculty against telling what takes place here. Every time anything of any delicacy comes up it seems that in a few minutes after adjourimient the whole town knows it. Our deliberations should be jirofoiuidlv secret. As many as favor adjourning will say aye. 282 Ai.i- : Aye. Prkxy: T!ie Faculty is adjourned. As the Faculty passed out tlieir inteiclian,!.;e of coniplinKiils and cum- nienls continued. I ' kofkssok Ticn-Stkikk: 1 am disgusted. There are at least fifty men wlK) e oats vou!:l have went at least ten bushels per acre better if 1 could have gotten those letters off today, and we didn ' t do a thing on those courses. l ' K0FK.ssoK Wi;.lt. lk: The trouble is that there are too many Icjng h])eeclies made — too much talkytalk. I ' rofilssor I ' sychi .evi-:r: You need a time hjck on your own mouth more than anybody else does. You seem to be a disciple of Albert Hibbard. v.hose motto I believe is: Sjjeak twice before you think and don ' t talk to yourself. .Anyway I wouldn ' t stand for suspending ' Miss Pretty ways ; sla ' ll come out all right even if her name becomes Libbey. I ' koncs.soK ' Il,l,T. .K : The catalogue says Attend to business or leave. ;igh. slung his book atchel what has liss Pretty ways . s the voices died away I ' rexy heaved a over his shoulder and went out.

They had heard the professors talking about it in the hall. They thought they would have a tin-can convention in chapel tomorrow morning. I ' rexy: Well, son, you ' ll have to ask the professors.

VIEW FROM HORTICULTURAL HALL 283 09 Cupid The hero of all of these wondrous tales Dwelt in the land of the famous tea Bales. He served his dear King with no little renown, And did the wild Savage up just about 5roit ' i. High up on a Hill was his Cassel so large. Which the Carfienfer built like the Hull of a barge; A weary March was it up to his abode Over the rocky and stony Rcxroad, Through the thick forest on Noel and Meade O ' ergrown with large Sfriggs of flowering Reed. Through the Holloway to the Brink of the Brooks Wliere our hero strolled, reading his musty old books. He was a bold Hunter of no little fame. The black Martin being his only small game. One day with ten arrows of Steele in his quiver He shot all the Coons and the Gison the river. Well known and well liked in that country was he, For he was Alleinan really should be. Yet he feared to set Foote in the Ferris wheel new. Though he said. My dear Daughters. I ' ll buy it for you. ' One night came a dream; ' twas an Oman of Payne. He dreamed on the Morrow his son would be slain. In the war for the Kubin. and Records do show That this bad dream came true to the letter, . nd lo! So great was the grief of this man and his wife That they both, the next H ' inter. departed this life. And now o ' er their Grai ' cs the o.f.j-sticks softly glow And the L -ies and grasses above them now grow. 284 To Our Friends Y7E urge you, all, to look over the following pages, that you might benefit yourself.

Give me 3 call Larger Profits No matter how large crops you grow; no matter how big the prices you get for your farm products, if you pay out every cent to produce and prepare these products for market, you are accomplishing nothing. Every farmer knows that the cost of production must be such thai when he sells his products he can realize a profit. All of the farm work must be done with the least expenditure of time and money. One of the most important considerations on a farm is an economical power. The more economical the power, the greater are the profits. The hat is the most economical power? Is it hand, wind, water, horse or steam? question then arises No. It is I. H. C. gasoline engine power. Why? Because this power is always ready to do the work in hand, works without constant attention, and the expense for fuel is so small compared to the work it does that it is no source of worry from that point. It regulates itself to the load it is carrying — will not run away when the load is light or stall as long as the load is reasonable for the size of the engine. There is no danger of boiler explosions and there are no sparks to set fire to the farm buildings. These engines are made in the following styles and sizes, among which you will find a power suitable for your requirements: Vertical 2, 3, and 25-horse power. Horizontal (Stationary and Portable) 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 20-hor5e power. Traction 10, 12. 15 and 20-horse power. Air cooled 1 and 2-horse power. Sawing, sprayiny and pumping outfits and jacks. If you wish to farm profitably and do your work with the least expenditure of time and money, call on our local agent who will explain to you the advantages of these engines. If you prefer write for catalog and any information you wish on these engines. International Harvester Company of America ed) Chicago, U. S.

Year Book insisted that, as the lead- ing advertising agency of the West, it was only meet for us to display a sample of our work in this representative volume. He told us that if we wrote as good ads for our- selves as we do for our clients, this advertisement would pay us. It ' s up to you to keep him from membership in the Ananias Club. Seriously: The L. Roy Curtiss Advertising Company is an organization of expert sales promoters who thoroughly understand all the angles, curves and intricacies of success- fully marketing a product. We create markets for new products. We create a wider demand for articles now on the market. We are CREATORS OF BUSINESS. HOW WE DO THIS If you have something to sell which you believe people should buy — and, if there is a good reason for its existence, we proceed, by pure business logic, to create a sub- stantia ' , permanent market for your product. First — We consult with you, learning all we can about the article in question — its possible market, its selling features and all other points of vital importance. Then- your proposition is analyzed by our Board of Selling Counsellors. Every phase of marketing and advertising is discussed. By a process of elimination, mediums which are not feasible are discarded. Alter the nature of the mediums is decided upon, the publications best suited to carry the ad- vertising are selected. Then, the size of the copy is determined by the results other clients have received. The copy is then planned and written by experts in vritten salesmanship. The drawings and cuts are made, the ads set in type and electrotyped. Then they are ready for publication. But this IS not all the L. Roy Curtiss Advertising Company does. We are not con- tent simply to spend our clients ' money for advertising space and fill it with good copy. It Is what we do extra that differentiates us from other advertising agencies. We distribute the goods if it is a dealers ' proposition. We help place the goods on the dealers ' shelves so that the demand created by the advertising may be supplied. We plan, prepare and execute booklets,folders and follow-up literature on the dealer. We operate thoroughly. Our work is not complete until we have established a profitable business for our client. HOW VV E CAN BENEFIT YOU No man, firm or corporation can afford to place advertising direct when our services can be enlisted without charge. Of course we are paid — the publications allow us commissions. We buy space for the advertiser at the publishers ' lowest rates for the space used. If you — or a friend of yours— has an advertisable proposition, our advice will be given freely and impartially as to the advertising possibilities — no charge will be made for this service. Write us — today lf you are interested. Incidentally, it may be the decldmg point of your future business. L. ROY CURTISS ADVERTISING COMPANY L. ROY CURTISS, Pres. Commerce Bldg.
