When the Board of Regents selected him to be president it believed that it was getting the best man in the United States for the position. Since he has been here the Board has seen no i-eason to change its mind. President Waters is first of all a scientist. He is a specialist, an authority on animal husbandry. He has declared that if he could not be a produc- ing investigator and at the same time be president, he would not be presi- dent. His research has been close to the life of the people. The results that he has attained have attracted the attention of leading investigators both in this country and in Europe. He has done, and is doing, much to solve the vital problem of continuing meat production in a densely popu- lated country. As an administrator President Waters has few equals among American college presidents. He has always been successful in gaining and retaining the confidence of the farmers of the states that he has served. He stimu- lates his faculty to do its very best. He points out the goal that it is desirable to reach, leads the way, and inspires others to follow. As a result of the stimulus furnished by him this college has entered upon a period of enlarged usefulness to the people of this state. President Waters ' slogan, Let us return dollar for dollar, has taken hold of rank and file, faculty and students, and it is safe to predict a period of unpar- alleled development for the Kansas State Agricultural College.

In any line of work or m business, the man especially well trained in some particular hne is the one whose services are in demand and who usually achieves the gi-eatest success. In these days of high-priced lands and serious difficulties in obtaining help upon the farm, the agri- culturist who would be most successful must be a specialist. The authorities of the Kansas State Agricultural College be- lieving that its students should have an opportunity to specialize along the line of agiicultural work for which each has a particular likmg, divided the agi-icultural work into the various departments we now have; each offermg a four years ' course in a particular line of work. Of these various courses none has been more popular among the students or appreciated more by the general public than the course in Animal Husbandry. That this work may be more efficient and practical, pure-bred herds of horses, sheep, swine, and the beef breeds of cattle are maintained for demonstration pur- poses. This department now owns fifteen pure-bred horses, one hundred pure-bred sheep, one hundred fifty pure bred hogs, and one hundred twenty-five pure bred cattle. However, the aim in maintaining these herds is quality rather then quan- tity, so that the students in their study of breed type and live stock production may have the best representatives of each breed with which to work, thus developing and encouraging higher and better ideals in their minds, toward which they may work when they return to the farm to take up the business of live stock production. This department also carries on a gi-eat deal of experimental work in the breeding, feeding and care of the various breeds of live stock. The student has an opportunity to watch and study these experiments. A gi-eat deal of information of inestimable value may thus be gained from such observation of the development and results of these experiments. As proof of the practical nature of the work in this department, it might be men- tioned that in the fall of 1909, at the International Live Stock Show, where compe- tition is open to the whole country, where practical feeders and colleges compete for honors, both the grand champion and reserve gi-and champion fat steers were fed, developed and shown by the Animal Husbandry Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College. This was a double honor never before won by any single breeder or feeder at one time. During the past year this department has won six championships and .seventeen first prizes. Under the management of Professor R. J. Kinzer, recently resigned, this work has been self-supporting. While the aim and purpose of this department is to train and equip the man who takes the course in animal husbandry so that he may go back to the farm and be a more practical and efficient producer of live stock, many other lines are open to the graduates of this course, such as government work, superintendents or managers of stock farms, live stock salesmen or live stock journalists.

A, Cabinet OSCAR YORK Franklin Agricultural Association College Orchestra HE term Agronomy comes from two Greek words meaning the cultivation or use of the fields. The full meaning of the work in agronomy as related to agricultural instruction embraces three divisions: A study of the soil with special emphasis upon its hand- ling to produce crops; a study of field crops in their relationship to men, and a study of the implements employed in the gi ' owth and utilization of the field crops produced. Perhaps no other state in the Union offers the natural facilities for agronomic research and instruction afforded by Kansas. Geogi-aphically, the state is centrally located, and is surrounded by a rich agi-icultural territory. On the boundry of arid and humid districts, it has the advantage of affording investigation and study in methods of farming adapted to humid and arid conditions. With a normal rainfall of more than forty inches in the Southeastern part of the state, we are able to gi-ow nearly all crops adapted to humid climates. With a rainfall of less than twenty inches in the Western part of the state, opportunity is afforded to study irrigation methods where water is at hand, and dry farming methods where water for irri- gation is not available. Extending two hundred miles North and South, the state covers a latitude de- manding different crops and different varieties of the same crop. To determine the crops, varieties and methods of farming adapted to these sections, a number of branch experiment stations and demonstration farms have been established. At these stations, information is collected upon crop adaptation and methods of culture adapted to the climatic conditions of every section of the state. This in- formation is furnished the farmers of the state and the agricultural students by the Agi ' onomy Department. The Agronomy Department operates a 280-acre farm to furnish experimental data and for instruction. The experimental work is carried out along the three lines. A study is being conducted to determine the effect of continuous cropping compared with crop rotation upon soil fertility. Methods of maintaining fertility of the soil under different rotations are being studied. New strains and new varieties of crops are being produced, and tested out against the old standard varieties in the hope of producing higher yielding varieties of better quality. Selections are being made to increase the yield and quality by propagating only the strongest individuals. Three well-equipped laboratories are maintained for instruction in agronomy. In the soil laboratory the students may investigate the physical properties of the soil and study methods of maintaining its fertility. The farm crop laboratory is supplied with samples of the different clas.ses of farm crops grown in the .state. The farm machinery laboratory is equipped with all the latest farm implements, so that the student may compare the operation of many of the implements in the field. A green house is provided for research work in soils and crops during the winter. RALPH W. EDWARDS Hamilton Athletic Association Agricultural Association OLIVER A.

Degree of Agronomy [in mi HE chief aim of the Horticultural Department, of the Kansas State Agricultural College, at least so it appears to the students, is to keep persons ofT the gi-ass. Divers and many signs and con- trivances are used for this purpose, from the stern call of the head of this department to barricades of barb wire, varied styles of art, and rhetoric. In addition to thus guarding the grass the Horticultural Department runs a snow plow when necessary, mows the lawn, trims the trees, plants the flower beds, and at- tempts, in its feeble way and with its restricted appropriations, to keep the campus in apple pie order during Commencement week and the first week of the fall term. In addition to this, it teaches the students of all agricultural courses, plant propa- gation, market gardening, fruit growing, spraying, landscape gardening; and the short course boys have a condensed course in frait growing and gardening; the young women of the Domestic Science and Art courses have a term in kitchen gardening, landscape gardening, and floriculture. Probably the most popular work offered b°y the department is that in pomology I and II, in which studies the student has an opportunity to become acquainted with the varieties of fruits grown in Kansas. Usually the department manages to trade fruit with a sufficient number of states of the north-east and north-west to give a student a fair idea of all the commercial varieties of apples. There have never been enough boys in this course to fill all the positions that are waiting for them when they attain their degrees. The lines of work to which the horticultural course leads seem to be that of practical orchard work, as foreman and superintendent, teachers and assistants in high schools and agricultural colleges, and work in experiment stations and the United States Department of Agriculture. ' The head of this department answers many inquiries upon the various phases of horticulture; lawns, gardens, orchards, flower beds and mushroom culture. Many an out- of-town boy and girl relies upon the Horticultural Department to furnish the bouquet for the wedding. So far we have never failed to get the flowers to the happy couple on time, even if they had to be ordered bv ' phone and shipped by telegraph. BENJAMIN B. BAIRD AB Rooters ' Club DONALD F. JONES K Jin AZ WHITCOMB G. SPEER ' Varsity Squad OTHER veterinary department in the world, perhaps has made so remarkable a record in so short a time as that in the Kansas State Agi ' icultural College. Within a year after the connection of Dr. F. S. Schoenleber with the Kansas State Agricultural College, he convinced the board of regents that the vast live stock inter- es ts of Kansas warranted and demanded the establishing of a course of training to make men efficient to go out into the state and pro- long the lives of thousands of animals to the maximum time of their period of profit and usefulness. A course in veterinary science was established. The persuasive power of Dr. Schoenleber resulted in the remarkable legislative appro- priation of $70,000 for a building before the first class had been graduated. The coui ' se was originally one of four years with no technical or veterinaiy work in the first year. At present, and in the future, veterinary work begins the first day of the freshman year and continues throughout the four years. Its advantage over most veterinary schools lies in the fact that the students are required to take certain cultural work that tends to make them understand history and the prob- lems of the day and make them something more than Hoss doctors . The Veterinary Building is on the highest spot on the campus, is three stories in height, and has a spacious, commodious and well lighted surgical amphitheatre at the rear. The dissecting room is in the West end, on the ground floor, and is well equipped. Offices and recitation rooms and the library are on the main floor. The departments of histology, pathology and bacteriology are on the top floor. The patients are housed in a separate hospital building. The staff includes seven veterinarians who give their whole time to college and state work. Of all the graduates thus far only one has considered government work enticing, but this one has returned to the state. Only four of the graduates have left the state. The others have remained to serve and reward the state that educated them. There is little doubt that the college has saved nearly 7,000 hogs averaging ten dollars each, or by this one project alone, has repaid the state for the original invest- ment of $70,000 for a building. The veterinary division is working upon other problems that will be factors in making Kansas live stock healthier, a condition in which not only the farmers but every citizen of the state will share.

' - Looking Over The Campus yi Y r S FAR back as history records, mankind has kept animals that have furnished milk and milk products for human use. The first animals kept for milk were sheep; then came the domesti- cation of the cow. This has continued, with improved breeds until we have animals that produce many times their weight in milk every year; and a few have produced their own weight in butter in the same length of time. Dairying, as we know it at present, is a specialized type of farming that is not generally fol- lowed in any locality until the land becomes high priced, and the necessity of keep- ing up the fertility of the soil makes conditions favorable. The dairy cow is espe- cially adapted for such conditions. It is able to consume the grains and roughage produced on the farm and work it over into high priced product. This product when sold in the form of butter or cream, will remove the minimum of fertility from the farm and the income of the farm will be increased. In this state, the problem of keeping up the fertility of the land is a serious one, and live stock farming is replacing the systems of grain farming that have been followed in the past. The natural conditions such as climate, the long pasturing seasons, and abundance of alfalfa hay and corn, makes Kansas adapted to dairy- ing. In the coming years live stoclf farming, and particularly dairying, will be followed more and more. The men who have farms to rent are eager to get tenants that are engaged in live stock farming. They will give the dairymen more than a fair share of the income from the farm because he appreciates the importance of keeping up the fertility of the soil by this method. As the population increases, more people must be fed from the same area. The manufacturing of butter is becoming a great industry in Kansas. Not many years ago the butter was largely made on the farm, but today we have a number of creameries and factories that make the greater part of the butter used. There are, also, a number of milk condensories and ice cream plants that put out their products in large quantities. All these manufacturing concerns are increasing at a steady and rapid rate. The ever-increasing interest in dairy farming and the manufactur- ing of dairy products has created a demand for men trained in this line of work. The agricultural colleges of the country have added dairying to their courses of study, and the experiment stations are giving a great deal of attention to the in- vestigation of problems that confront the dairymen and manufacturers of dairy products. The Kansas State Agricultural College offei ' s a four year course in dairy- ing, a two-year short course in dairy farming, a ten weeks ' commercial course in dairy manufactures and short courses for testing dairy products. The enrol- ment in all these courses is steadily increasing, but the demand for men trained along this line is far greater than the supply. HARRY S.

M. C A. UWEN E. WILLIAMS Webster Agricultural Association Athletic Association Dean Willard HE vocational features of the college are kept so constantly to the fore, and constitute so largely its characteristic work, that sight is often lost of the place filled by the Division of General Science. Yet, sixteen of the thirty-four departments, and sixty- four of the one hundred thirty teachers, belong to this division. Of the required subjects of the several four-year courses a large proportion is given by the division. In credit hours this amounts to two-fifths of the work in the mechanic arts and engineering course, one-half of the agricultural courses, and three-fifths of the course in home economics. Much more than one-half of the total teaching in the college is done by this division. The reasons for this largeness of field are readily seen when it is recog- nized that the division includes the departments of English, mathematics, history, economics, physics, chemistry, botany, bacteriology, entomology and zoology, as well as others scarcely less important. The tremendous improvement in the material welfare of the human race rests solely upon the mastery of nature by means of investigation and discovery and physical and biological science. The betterment of past conditions of social organiza- tion, and the hope of future advancement in this respect, rest on the conscientious study of the inter-relations of every form of human organization, and of the springs of action, the rights and the responsibilities of individuals. The effective conveyance of thought is chiefly dependent upon the power to ex- press ideas in accurate, unequivocal language. To this end the study of English constitutes a large part of every student ' s work. The facts of modern science furn- ish the ground work of modern industry. Exact treatment requires consideration of their quantitative relations, and for this, mathematics up to its highest develop- ment, is necessary. High satisfaction in life demands that it contain more than that which merely serves the physical needs of the body; culture in the higher planes of thought and activity such as music, literature and art is of the highest value in mak- ing the individual life worth living. Further, No man liveth unto himself. A systematic study of his relations to others is essential in smoothing his way, and in making him competent to perform the duties of citizenship. It will be seen that the Division of General Science furnishes the foundation for all of the work of the other divisions; and not only this, but that its influence and function extend throughout all of the courses of study, and accompany the gi-aduates from them in their sub- sequent industrial, individual and social activities. The Science Department has a still wider scope in the college than is included in the foregoing. Its equipment is constantly employed in ascertaining new facts. This work finds direction and incentive in the agricultural and engineering experi- ment stations, but research is constantly in progress independently of these organ- izations. The public presentation of the work of the college is largely intrusted to this division. This may consist in lectures and addresses out in the state, or in musical, literary or scientific progi-ams at the college; but its most elTective medium is through the publicity work of the Department of Industrial Journalism. By means of this agency the work of all the departments is brought to the attention of the world at large. II. RAY ANDERSON Aztex Hamilton Captain Tennis Team ' 10 WILLIS E.

' ' ■■ .% iwjy, n Mi« VtJ l ' J ' Dean McCormick HE aim of the course in Mechanical Engineering is to give a broad foundation in the general fundamental principles and appli- cations upon which the superstructure of experience and tech- nical knowledge may rest. To accomplish this the curriculum has been arranged to include a judicious mixture of theoretical and applied principles, upon which the development and advance- ment of modern mechanical engineering, in its various phases, has been found to rest. In the earlier days the machinist who constructed machines developed into the machine designer and mechanical engineer. At present scientific education is essential to the development of the mechanical engineer, who through his knowledge of forces in machines and their applications, has been found the best qualified to design machinery and to handle the men who construct and operate machines in mills, factories and power plants. The practice of mechanical engineering includes the designing, constructing, testing and operati- ing of machinery for the generating and transmitting of power; the manufacture of tools and articles of commerce, and the managing of men. The function of a mechan- ical engineering course is to furnish men as designers and constructors of machinery, and as administrators who control the economic conditions which affect the output and marketing of the products of any industrial organization. The conditions of development of engineering have been in very strict accordance with the lines marked out by abstract mathematical and scientific study. With this in view, the first two years of the course are devoted mostly to mathematics, science, cultural subjects, shop work and drawing. In the third year the appli- cations of science and mathematics are made to the study of mechanics, therniody- namics, machine design and construction, as well as hydraulics and steam engineer- ing. These subjects are supplemented by engineering laboratory, drafting room and shop practice. The fourth year is given mostly to professional subjects, such as steam, gas, mill, electrical and power plant engineering. Courses are given also in heating, and in ventilation and mechanical refrigeration. In all the courses of direct engineering character, a thorough grounding is given in the mathematical and technological phases, but the economic and commercial aspects are not neglected. Independent thought is encouraged, but no superficialty is allowed to enter. All the professional and technical courses are planned to serve as a foundation for the future work of the student, whatever branch of mechanical engineering he may pursue. HARRY P.

Walters had given instruction in architec- tural drawing and architectural composition to special students who desired to become builders or architectural draftsmen. Many of these specials ultimately did extensive work in building lines. Having thus received a basic education they grew by their own exertion into the architectural profession. One of these special students went to New York and superintended the erection of the largest sky scraper in the world; another emigi-ated to Old Mexico and built a million dollar packing plant and still another went to Chicago and gathered up a remunerative practice in that city. The new four year course in architecture was fairly prosperous from the start. From three to five students have been graduated from it every year since 1895 and nearly all have done well. Some, like Henry Brinkman (Emporia), Henry Winter (Manhattan), R. H. Sonneman and Henry Spuhler (Kansas City) are prac- ticing for themselves and are gi-adually climbing the ladder of fame. Others, like W. J. Wilkinson (San Francisco), Dan Walters (Topeka), L. L. Dougan (Portland), etc., prefer to be connected with older firms while still others, like Henry Porter and Frank Harris (Kansas State Agricultural College) and Elmer Bull, (Meno- minee) are teaching mathematics, manual training or engineering branches. Two of the graduates have become building contractors and one is a lumberman. Last summer, a large class room was assigned to the department on the second floor of the new Engineering Hall, — probably the best lighted room in the college. The faculty of the department gi ' ew with the number of students from year to year. At present five teachers are employed in the different branches of draw- ing and architecture. Two years ago Frank Harris, a graduate from the architec- tural course, was made assistant in descriptive geometry, perspective and model- ing. Through his efficient work the counse has been gi ' eatly strengthened. Professor Walters himself teaches architectural drawing and architectural composition, land- scape architecture, trusses, residences, etc. The college is well equipped for main- taining a course in architecture. Its mechanical workshops are the most extensive in_ the west, its science laboratories are provided with an abundance of modern scientific apparatus; it owns a rapidly growing collection of several hundred plaster casts, tile and terracotta samples, marble specimens, etc. It has a fine collection of models of the classic orders; a collection of blue prints of nearly every state building; a large number of books on architecture and engineering; a complete set of the International Architect and the Inland, Architect; a well equipped blue print room, etc. The substantial buildings of the institution, theii- complete systems of water supply, drainage, heating and lighting, and a beautiful campus furnish excellent illustrative material. The present senior class numbers ten students, namely A. T. Bodle, F. Elliott, Fred Hopper, R. Kilmer, I. T. Koogle, H. W. Carr, E. Hbpper, H. Overholt, K. K. Wyatt and M. L. Pierson. Of these, one, Mr. Kilmer, finished his work at Christ- mas. One or two will complete the course next fall term. ALEXANDER T. BODLE Athletic Association Rooters Club EDWIN H.

WYATT K n Pan-Hellenic Council Senior-Junior Dancing Club i s atmsmsi HE profession of electrical engineering belongs to the present generation. Less than half a century ago the science of electricity and magnetism, upon which the operation of all electrical appa- ratus depends, consisted chiefly of a collection of isolated facts. The early experimenters discovered many of the phenomena embodying the elementary principles upon which modern apparatus has been developed, but made no particular effort to put their discoveries to practical or commercial use. The electrical engineer of today is the product of the demand for men who can employ electricity in doing man ' s work. The earlier electrical engineers were necessarily men trained in other lines of engineering activity but who knew little theory and less practice by which to be guided in the new line of work. They were forced to undertake the new prob- lems very cautiously and as a result, the earlier installations were small. As their projects succeeded and electrical engineering data accumulated, larger problems were attacked. Failures only added to the store of accumulating theory and data. This growth has continued until at the present time there can be found as much reliable data on electrical engineering problems, supplemented by good sound theory, as is found on any of the older lines of engineering work. The Department of Electrical Engineering at the Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege was established to give young men a foundation for work in the various branches of electrical engineering. Good practice is always based on sound theory ; hence, it is necessary to give the student first the necessary foundation, then the theory itself supplemented by practical work. The first two years of the course are devoted largely to a study of mathematics, chemistry, English, physics, drafting and shop work. A thorough knowledge of these subjects is necessary in order that a student may attack the theoretical prob- lems. The electrical engineering work pi ' oper is begun in the third year and is sup- plemented by such general engineering subjects as have a bearing on electrical problems. The fourth year is devoted almost entirely to electrical engineering. The course includes both the theoretical work in the class room and thepractical work in the dynamo laboratory. After gi-aduation students find employment in one of the various branches of the profession. The majority are employed as power station managers or operators, designers of electrical apparatus, salesmen of electrical machinery, erecting engineers, telephone managers, or in general consulting work. One of the more recent open- ings for men is in wireless telegraphy. The opportunities for discovery and invention were never greater than now. R. N. ALLEN A. I. E. E. Y M C. A. DAVID G.

Athletic Association HE Department of Civil Engineering was established at the Kansas State Agi-icultural College in the fall of 1909 and proved a very popular course with the students from the first. Until the fall of 1910 the department was hampered for room, but it is now located in its permanent quarters in the new Engineering build- ing which provides it with one of the best lighted and equipped draftmg rooms in the west. Among the students who are inclined . ,, . , toward engmeering work as a life profession, but who do not de- sire the indoor occupations which constitute such a large part of the engineering branches, this course is especially popular. The course in civil engineering, equips one tor service m the office and drafting room, or in the field, all of which are essential for carrying on and completing the various engineering projects which characterize our age. The course thus offers work under pi-actically any environ- ment which may be deemed best adapted to particular tastes and abilities. the scope of civil engineering is so broad that it is not feasible to attempt to make specialists of its gi-aduates. The various branches of this profession are prac- tically independent of one another in their operations but all are founded upon the same fundamental principles. It is the aim of the course as given in our college to provide the student a thorough training in the theory and practical applica- tion oj the theory to the various lines of engineering work, thus enabling the gi-aduate to take up such a specialty as his tastes and ability dictate. The different subjects in this course are presented in the class room and supplemented by laboratory prac- tice thus giving the man not only the principles which underly his chosen line of work but also the manner in which he may apply this theory to the solution of the ' ery day problems which are sure to confront him in practice. A thorough course in surveying composed of practice in the adjustment and ma- nipulation ot chain level, compass and transit is given. The field work consists of topographical surveys by use of stadia and transit, city surveying, precise leveling and tnangulation work as well as differential and profile leveling. Practice in map- ping and plotting is received by the working up of the filed notes, taken during these surveys, m the drafting room. A large amount of drafting room work accompanies the course in mechanics and consists principal y of the design of masonry arches, wells and drains, also of bridges and root trusses, both ot wood and steel. Many subjects of a general nature such as History, literature and English arc iv(|uired in this cour.se so that the engineer upon graduating is equipped with an education, which is not confined wholly to his chosen line ot work but one which covers a wide range of subjects.

DEPARTMENT of the college has shown greater gi ' owth and greater effi- ciency than has the Department of Print- ing. When Superintendent J. D. Rick- man took charge of the plant twelve years ago, it was in cramped quarters in the basement of Anderson Hall. The equip- ment was meager, and the degi ' ee of efficiency relatively low. Those who had charge of the de- partment did excellent work, but they were greatly hampered by lack of equipment and the dark, crowded quarters. Superintendent Rickman saw the great possibilities await- ing a fully developed printing plant in a technical school, and so went to work with a will to develop the plant. He made the plant so useful to the college and to the state that the Board of Regents felt that it should be given more com.- modious quarters and the necessary modern equipment of a model printing plant. Accordingly, three years ago the Department of Printing was installed in Kedzie Hall and provided with more nearly adequate equipment. At that time, also, a four-year printing course was introduced into the college curriculum — the first complete printing course introduced into any college course in the United States. This grew in favor from the start until this year a complete course in industrial journalism was also introduced to meet the gi ' owing demands in this field of practical instruction. The course in printing includes much of the cultural work of the college, such as English, history, psychology, economics, sociology, international law, business organization, wage problems, public finance, banks and mechanism of exchange, and public speaking; also sufficient natural and biological science to warrant the granting of a degree in general science. In connection with the English Department, English construction, punctuation, capitalization, and good usage, are made simple and practical. The Department of Industrial Journalism gives instruction in the editorial and reportorial work of the printing course. The Department of Mechan- ical Engineering gives sufficient training in woodwork, blacksmithing, and machine shop work to enable the student to handle tools well so that he may properly cai ' e for his machines and do necessary repairing. Work in steam, gas and electrical en- gineering also is required. The instruction in printing is thorough and practical. The department now han- dles practically all of the work of the college. This year it will issue several import- ant bulletins and the annual catalog — work heretofore done in the State Printing Office at Topeka. AARON E. ANDERSON Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Students ' Herald HARLAN D. SMITH Aztex Y. M. C. A. Athletic Association CLIFTON J. STRATTON Aztex Webster Students ' Herald OLEY W. WEAVER Hamilton Debating Council Dean Van Zile HOME ECDNDMICS EN and women from all classes have come to look upon education as a thing which will better their con- dition by making their labor more effective. They do not expect education to relieve them from labor, but to relieve them from the drudgery that is the result of ignorance, by teaching the more economic and intelligent use of human effort. As a result of this changed view point the educational standards for women have broadened. Woman has gained the position she now holds in the educational world by proving beyond poss- ible doubt her fitness to attain the highest intellectual standards and to enter every realm of knowledge. She, however, is not satisfied with the development of her intellectual powers. She believes that any perfected educational system must give every girl the chance to make the most of her individual powers in every line. She urges that it is the heritage of every girl to be developed most completely and per- fectly. To do this, attention must be given to her intellectual development, but at the same time her physical, esthetic, social, domestic, economical, and spiritual development must not be overlooked. The Kansas State Agi-icultural College has acted on this policy and offers its stu- dents the opportunity of a liberal education and at the same time a specific train- ing in some special line of work. The young women who enroll in the Home Econom- ics course are given the training which will fit them for the most responsible posi- tion they can ever hold, that of wives and mothers. The training is both specific and general. The required English, mathematics, history, science, psychology, and economics assume a new significance when they are recognized as essential tools in the accomplishment of some definite purpose. The specific training is a part of a general scheme of education, which has for its aim the highest possible efficiency of the young woman. It includes a knowledge of the laws of health, an understanding of the sanitary requirements of the home; the wise expenditure of money, time, and energy; the scientific principles underlying the selection and preparation of food; the right care of children; and the ability to obtain efficient service from others. Home Economics teaches contentment, industry, order and cleanliness, and fosters a young woman ' s independence and feeling of responsibility. She is taught to apply her training. The study of art enables her to build and furnish her home with taste; of chemistry and bacteriology to provide for its sanitery construction and for the proper preparation of all food materials; of physics to gain knowledge of heat, light, and power u.sed in her home; of economics to manage her home on business principles; of physiology to study the physical development of her children; and of psychology to observe their mental growth and base their training on it.

Elng live tTe (!.hc (EluBs of 19ia E WERE introduced to the world in Volume I Royal Purple. In Volume II we told of our championship basket ball team, our comet party, and our hopes for the future. In Volume III we relate how those wishes materialized. Greetings and assignments were hardly over before Leonardville asked for a game with the second ' Varsity. It could not go and the ' 12 football team was sent instead, score 6-0 in our favor. The juniors who were left behind that day, obligingly conducted chapel exercises for the faculty. Vaughn was in charge. Chester Turner made a short speech after an insistent demand by the audience. The music of the morning was furnished by the senior boys and the college glee club. Later our gallant pigskin warriors went out and did what circumstances had pre- vented us from doing the year before, namely, humbling the green and white in a hard game, score 3-0. Snow upon the gi ' idiron did not prevent us from teaching the 14 ' s who had defeated the 13 ' s, how to play foot ball, score 2-0. No further victims appeared and our veterans turned their attention to basket ball, winning the pre- season Y. M. C. A. tourney and defeating the ll ' s in a one-sided game, 49-15. Next we taught the 13 ' s the i-udiments of basket ball, 42-18. Our girls were not able to equal the boys ' record but contented themselves by winning from the class of ' 14, 29-11 and allowing the ' 13 ' s to take the next game, 16-23. As winners of the second division they challenged the senior girls, but they were too busy to play our team. Our baseball team is working hard, but like K. U., our interest runs moie to foot- ball than to baseball and the history of that team as well as our track team is I ' e- served for Volume IV. We are winners! In foot ball, basket ball and track we are there! Athletics alone is not our only field. You will find 12 ' s in charge of the Athletic Association, the Rooters ' Club, the Y. M. C. A. and most of the others where the presidency is not always given to a member of the Senior class. Three 12 ' s were on the teams that represented our school in the Fairmount -Aggie debate. It was McDonald, a junior, that won the inter-society oratorical contest and later wore the purple in the interstate contest at Salina. Beside our conquests in the fields of brain and muscle we are noted for our social stunts. Our Land Office Assignment and the meeting thereof, with the Siwash Agricultural School were the events of the year. One of our stunts, this year, was the christening of the Nichols Gymnasium by two hundred 12 ' s at midnight after Siwash School was dismissed. Remember stunts are our specialty; see Volume IV for particulars, but until then we bid you farewell. ®hp Ollaas of 1913 (Ulaaa f rll Rocky-O, Rocky-0, Rocky-0, Reen, K. S. A. C, Big Thirteen.

S.— We have adapted the Sapety Pin for the Sub-Freshman Class-Pin. Scenes Twenty Years Ago (Ebr Alumni Seventeen hundred and thirty-nine men and women call our college A!ma Mater. We glance with admiring eyes down the long list of earnest loyal, intelligent sons and daughters of old K. S. A. C. and think that the best that we can do is call the roll by classes and let them name their distinguished members. We must begin with 1867 and it responds with the name of Emma Haines Bowen, the oldest graduate of the college. She lives in Manhattan and is interested in every good work. The class of 1872 proposes the name of, probably with one exception, the most distinguished alumnus of all, Samuel W. Williston, who has honored the college by adding three more degrees to his name and by holding the position of professor of paleontology in the University of Chicago. In 1873 appears the name of Sam Kmible, the distinguished judge of the twenty-first district. Our Alma Mater has no more loyal son than he. At his home, Castle Kimble, are several valuable relics of old Bluemont College. The one that he especially prizes, is the door step, a large stone that was the threshold of our college when he was a student. For 1876 we must remember Nellie Sawyer Kedzie Jones, who has won a national reputation as a lecturer and professor of domestic science. Her name will live as long as there is a descendant of the college girls who are so fortunate as to be under her instruction. The name of our former professor of chemistry. Professor George H. Failyer, is in the class of 1877. He is now an eminent scientist in Washington, D. C. the class of 1883 brings forward the name of Julius T. Willard, our present professor of chem- istry, who, as a contributor to the advancement of science, has won national fame. Another eminent scientist, Charles L. Marlatt, entomologist, in charge of experi- mental field work. United States Department of Agriculture, is found in the list for 1884. The class of 1885 claims first honors with the name of Rollin R. Rees, Congress- man from the Fifth District. The class of 1886 has more distinguished members than any other, but we must not fail to mention the names of Henrietta Willard Calvin, professor of domestic science at Purdue University; Edward 0. Sisson, pro- fessor of education at the University of Washington, Seattle, and author of a recent worh on Essentials of Character , and John U. Higinbotham, noted for his series of books, Three Weeks Abroad, accounts of a busy man ' s vacation tour. Mark Carleton of the class of 1877 has a world fame as a cerealist. Another fortunate class was that of 1888, with many great persons to choose from, but it feels that it should be awarded the banner, with the name of Ernest F. Nichols, who has won world wide fame and honors in his discoveries in the science of physics. He has recently been installed as president of Dartmouth College. The class of 1890 presents the name of Julia R. Pierce, one-time librarian of her Alma Mater, later a graduate of the Universitv of California, and now scientist in the Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C. Of the class of 1892, Geoi-ge Washington Wildin, has achieved success in an unusual field for our college gradu- ates. He is mechanical superintendent of the New York, New Haven and ' Haiiford Rail road, and when he visits Kansas now, he comes in his own private car. In 1893 is found the name of Albert Dickens, our professor of horticulture; in 1895, C. V. Holsinger, fruit grower, and extension lecturer for the college ; 1896 with the name of Edwin H. Webster, director of the agricultural experiment station; 1897 gives the name of a distinguished asti-onomer, Phillip Fox, of the Yerkes Observatory, and 1899 brings forward an unusual member, the name of George Washington Owen. He has shown what education can do for the Negro. He is a man of exceptionally high character. He is an agi-iculturalist at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, where he is devoting his life to the uplift of his race. In connection with this name we must mention that of Wendell Phillips Terrell, of the class of 1904. He has since been graduated from Massachusetts Polytechnic Institute and is professor of mechanics in the Normal and Industrial College at Prairie View, Texas. These two are certainly distinguished men of their race. Of the more recent classes, 1908 brings to us the name of W. T. McCall, who, with a former student, has invented a new farm machine, a haystacker, which is expected to help farmers solve the problem of labor on the farm. Nearly all of the professions and occupations imaginable are represented in the Alumni. They are classified as follows: Farmers, stock raisers, creamery men, fruit growers, gardeners, and florists; professors, instructors, assistants, and teachers in colleges and investigators in ex- periment stations; engineers, electrical, mining and mechanical, manufacturers, mechanics, draftsmen, contractors, architects and carpenters, merchants, commer- cial travelers and agents, managers, real estate agents, bookkeepers and stenogra- phers, physicians, druggists, dentists, lawyers, judges, bankers and cashiers, min- isters, missionaries, deaconesses and Christian association secretaries and housewives. The Alumni Association has the following officers for the year 1910 and 1911: President, Albert Dickens, ' 93; Vice-President, D. G. Robertson; Secretary, Ina Holroyd, ' 97; Treasurer, R. J. Barnett, ' 95. As an organization not much work is attempted, for it is difficult to secure co-operation from so many widely scattered members. Notwithstanding this fact, all are loyal at heart as the many local alumni organizations scattered all over the United States testify. All sing sincerely the dear old college song: There is a spot that I love full well — ' Tis not in forest nor yet in dell. Ever it holds me with magic spell, I think of thee, Alma Mater. K. S. A. C. Carry they banner high! K. S. A. C. long may thy colors fly! Loyal to thee they children shall swell the cry, Hail, hail, hail, Alma Mater! There is a song that my heart would sing Telling of homage that love can bring. Clear and impassioned its tones shall ring; I sing of thee, Alma Mater. Bright beams thy beacon across life ' s sea, Guiding my bark wheresoe ' r it be; Emblem of truth and constancy, I turn to thee. Alma Mater. (Uhr (EluBB of 1910 UST one year has passed since the Class of 1910 marched across the campus to the auditorium where the members were to receive the pubhc approval of their four years ' college work. To the ordinary observer it seemed a very solemn and dignified occasion, but to the students in that class it was a very happy one. They were dreaming of the future with all its golden opportunities and of the time when their efforts would be crowned with success and men would say of their work, Well done . After hasty good-byes and la last look at the old familiar scenes they left, eager to show the world how things should be done. Those classmen did not realize then how much they would miss the old scenes, the old life and the old associations. But, today, they wish they could live it all over again. They are just beginning to understand something of the feeling of the old grad when he murmurs, Those were happy days . True they are only started on their life work. Their short experience does not justify them in giving advice or trying to tell you what you will find when you step forth to fight your own little fight. Still they want to offer a word of encouragement and good cheer, for this isn ' t such a bad old world after all. Instead of its being un- feeling, cold and cruel you will find it patient, kind and sympathetic, ever willing to give you a chance to make good. It is sure to reward honest and cheerful efforts. Perhaps you may wonder what the class of 1910 is doing: As a class it is making good with rapid strides. Twenty-six of its members are farming; fourteen are engi- neers; twelve teachers in public schools; twelve instructors in colleges; nine domestic science instructoi-s in high schools; eight graduate students and five special students in eastern universities; five traveling; three housewives; three in government service; two, each, architects, practising veterinarians, experiment station workers, merchants and clerks; one, each, assistant librarian, law student, Y.

In the belief that all have some music in them and that the getting of it out of them is properly a part of the process of education, the Kansas State Agi-icultural College maintains an efficient department of music. The vocal work is directed by Professor Olof Valley, a graduate of the Chicago Conservatory, and a bass smger of some reputation. He is assisted by Miss Clare Biddison a graduate of K. S. A. C. and by Miss Nell Hutto, accompanist. Piano instruction is given by Misses Ping, Baum, and Beach, all capable instructors and performers of consider- able ability. Instruction in band and orchestral instruments is given by Assistant Professor Brown and by George Westphalinger, retired musician of the United States army. The Choral Union, directed by Professor Valley, has a reputation for putting on good concerts. The annual concert, which takes place at Commencement time, is one of the two musical events of the college year. Usually an oratorio is rendered, the solo parts being taken by noted singers brought in from Chicago and other places farther east. The College Orchestra, directed by Assistant Professor Brown, is a strong organiza- tion of forty members. During the past year it has done especially good work. Its playmg at assembly has called forth enthusiastic applause repeatedly. The annual concert, which is given in the winter term, has come to be one of the musical events of the college year. The College Band, a part of the Military Department, of the college, is under the leadership of Mr. Westphalinger. Its work bears the same relation to dress parade as that of the orchestra does to the student assembly. The Glee Club Cf1Af?L 3 H.BOICL, CAPT.

Now, of .u u A uT ? ' ; ■ ' reason for this immunity, and the first of all is the fact that the Athletic Association is the most democratic organization. There is no bar to membership— all may join; all may have equal voice; all who may desire to compete tor athletic teams and feel assured that the best fitted will survive Then too, Its scope IS large. It embraces the entire student body and the whole college as an institution. Its purpose is one of pure loyalty— no selfish interests- no mercenary motives. In maintaining athletics upon a scale commensurate with the dignity of the insti- tution it represents, the Athletic Association gains no plaudits for itself; no wreaths or garlands are tossed its way. It simply bears the brunt of battle, so to speak, for all merit tails upon the athletes it produces; all credit is given to the student body as a whole; all honor is reflected upon the college proper. Sum up its good work in one sentence and you have: All for the glory of our Alma Mater! So we propose the toast, and let every one join in: Kerens to the members of the A.

Ambler ' ' REAT_ is the fame of the Aggie athletic teams and many are the G victories they have won. Back of these teams is a student body of ra 2500 enthusiastic boys and girls, ever ready to support their teams by their presence and their encouraging cheers where the game is on. Back of all this enthusiasm is an organization known as the Aggie Rooters ' Club . The Kansas State Agricultural College has never been lacking in spirit. It has had a Rooters ' Club for many years and many great Stunts have been pulled off. But the Rooters ' Clubs of the past were not permanent. Some strong hearted rooter would take it upon himself every year to organize a new club for the football season and afterward let it die. Noting the drawbacks to this plan the rooters, decided this year to organize the club on a better basis. At an early date a temporary organization was effected. A constitution and by- laws were adopted, the officers provided for by it were elected, and so came into ex- istence the first permanent Rooters ' Club of the Kansas State Agricultural College. At the first foot ball game, the club with the assistance of the girls ' club, carried out one of the greatest stunts in the way of a parade, that has ever been seen at the college. At every succeeding game the rooters with their megaphones and the official emblem of the club were there to cheer their heroes to victory. Every game was another step toward the climax on Turkey Day, when, headed by the band this noisy bunch escorted the Washburn Rooters from the Union Pacific depot to the athletic park and then rooted the home team to success . After taking Washburn ' s goat at this contest the rooters believe the club will be even more enthusiastic next year when the lasso is dropped over K. U. ' s goat and it is led gently but firmly into the farmers ' yard to keep company with Washburn. pFTER passing the prime of life people invariably are prone to reiterate A A the happenings of their younger days. Were it not for the inference M that might be drawn regarding a decline in athletics, we would fain bring ™ from the leaden casket, the history of the football season of 1910. But, Ecu - e seeing that no team ever has had an opportunity to fail to reach this standard, we are justified in elaborating on the text, without casting reflections on anyone. From the bottom of our left ventrical we utter the declaration that the football machine of 1910 has embodied in it more of the elements of perfection than any of its predecessors. A machine that could participate in eleven melees, and in only one fail to deliver the necessary energy, must have a very low coefficient of friction and a multitude of interchangeable parts. Mr. M. F. Ahern is the major premise of the glory. To this retiring coach falls the verdict of Well done . ' Tis he we gi-eet as the genius back of the perfected machine. Practically evei-y man on the team is a product of the coach, and while early training is now essential for a gi-eat foot- ball training, this team was picked from the expanse of ignorance three years ago and brought up in the way it should go. We can see no reason why the man whose greatest crime is that of being an Irishman should hesitate to profess pride in his masterpiece. Although the team may not have lined up to the dreams of the coach in every game, yet even Mike will have to admit that the demonstration in the first half of the Washburn game and the whole of the Arkansas game was good enough to be the keystone of the arch of his productions. The season opened almost before the freshmen had their pictures of the home folks tacked in their rooms for exhibition. Mid the shouts of the rabble and the pre- dictions of greatness from those more sedate, the Aggies tacked 57 points on the plus side of the account sheet. The victims of this catastrophe were the collegians of Wilham Jewell. Neither team had much practice, and the day was ideal for a bath- ing expedition. Harvey Roots was the subject, object and predicate ofthis same tearing off some 219 yards that afte rnoon. The next of the early S ' on contend™ s were the braves from the Kansas Haskell Institute.

The concensus of opinion, after the season was over was that the Rolla team furnished the best entertainment of the season on the home grounds. Knowing that the Rolla team had tied Missouri ifniversTty beaten St Louis and was regarded by many as the best team in Missouri theXgies played for the reputation they might gain by defeating them.

The style of play was perfect and certainly was an appropriate close for such a successful season. Without a doubt the greatest player on the machine this year was Capt. Croyle. Dad has made more yards than any player in the history of the college. He has been on the team four years. Jack Holmes, the captain-elect, played his first year on the team. His weight and build make him one of the best tackles in the Missouri Valley. Jake hit the line in true tackle style and undoubtedly will be a good captain for next year. Harvey Roots holds the position as second in yards gained. Roots has played three years and is the find of the year among the old men. Roots holds the record for touchdowns. Merle Sims, the plunging full back, hits the line for all he is worth. Merle has played three years, but his days of use- fulness are not over. He is possessed of a trachea like Caruso. Bobby Christian is the speed merchant of the team. He is a three-year man. Bobby is the captain of the track team and holds several college and state records on the dashes. Bob had his inning Thanks- giving Day. Bunt Speer is another speed merchant, but hard luck descended in gobs on Bunt last fall. He was laid up with a broken collar bone. Bobby Christian Hunt Speer  N.; Horse Power Bates is the pilot who guided the Aggie machine to the numer- ous victories last fall. He has played four years, and is one of the best drop kickers in the Missouri Valley. Charlie Zoller is one of the most con- sistent players on the team. He is espe- cially an adept at the open center and is as solid as the Prudential. Horse Power Bates Charlie Zoller Morse Elliot experienced a slight at- tack of being out of the game, but made up for lost time when his injuries were healed. Morse gets through the inter- ference. Gus Seng is one of the largest men for whom Spalding ever made a suit. Very few players try any other method than the gi-and detour on the left side of the line. Billy Towler is characterized by his ability to dump the interference. Billy pulled down 46 yards on forward passes. Hammond has played two years at right guard. He was among the lightest line men, but no one goes through him, any way. Billy Towler Hammond Cooley, who plays the left guard, is an example of an athlete coming back in a new sense. He played here in ' 06, but has been out of school until this year. George T. RatlifTe, or plain Rat, is another who has always had the ability. Rat has a weak knee, and every year until this it went back on him at the unpsycho- logical. Cooley George T. Railiffe Elmer Stahl, or the power in the sopho- more class is a new man on the team. He played end in nearly every game at some time. He will succeed the gi-eat Towler. f Glenn Whipple is one of the best back field men that ever played for the college. He is the tall man of the squad. Arthur Bently is another draft from the track team. That boy Bently is some speed merchant with the ball. Joe Vale is a new man who undoubtedly will fill a place of fame on the next year ' s team. With so many old heads out a new man to make the squad must have some of the elements in him. Arthur Bently Joe ' ' f In intei-preting the statistics given herewith the player who receives a forward pass is given full credit the same as if he carried it. If a player is downed in his tracks in returning a punt it is not counted as a trial. Recovering a punt is given as a gain, or if a player loses a yard, it is not subtracted.

T Some very important steps have been taken in the progress of college athletics and many long cherished and carefully nurtured plans have been nearly completed. Years ago the lovers of manly sport worked and planned that the college might some day get a gym- nasium and an athletic field. This past season the Nichol ' s Gymnasium and Alumni Field are monuments erected to those who labored for the advancement of college students along physical as well as intellectual lines. Another important advance was made when the college decided to play under Missouri Valley rules. The Kansas State Agi-icultural College turned out two base ball teams in the spring of 1911, one eligible to play under the rules of the Missouri Valley Conference and the other complying with the rules promulgated by the Kansas College Conference. The Missouri Valley Team, as it was called, played several games and won a large percentage. These players had the honor of dedicating the new athletic field, and celebrated it by winning the first game on the schedule. This achievement fades into insignificance however, when we remember that this team the first season they were together defeated K. U. twice, breaking even on the series. The team was capably captained by George Young, the pop- ular first baseman of both college teams, whose gingery playing did much to make the Missouri Valley team a success during its first season at K. S. A. C. Following the good example set by the Missouri Valley team the Kansas Confer- ence team, made up of more experienced men, won a large majority of its games. This division, led by Leo Price, has accomplished all that could be expected of it by the most sanguine supporter. With the passing of this team we have, in all probability, seen the last of a Kansas Conference team. Many familiar faces will be missing from the baseball roster next year. The class of 1911 will take with it the greatest athletes the college has ever produced. Their places will be hard to fill but it has been the hi.story of athletics at this college that when a Mallon, a Croyle or a Baird gi-aduated other stars were discovered who could fill their places. A new era dawns in the athletic history of this institution. The old regime is dead, and the athletic board watches over the destiny of physical culture. Progi-ess is the watchword, and this past spring the wheels have been set in motion. Honor and long life to the new, gratitude and respect to those who have done their share in making the new possible. i ' i--f j ' -i laskrt lull irasnn mil BASKET BALL at the Kansas State Agi-icultural Col- lege this season could not be called a howling success. It was not definitely known whethei- or not there was to be a 1911 Aggie Five until about three weeks after Christmas when the Athletic Association voted to play all the games under Topeka Conference rules instead of the Valley Conference rules. An abundance of good material was out, but practically none eligible under the rules of the Missouri Valley. Several good men were unable to play under the Topeka Conference rules as it was their first term in the college. When practice was called the only K men to report were Captain Edwards, Larson and McNall. Owing to the lateness in deciding to have a team the schedule was light and at all times uncertain. After only one week of practice the first game of the season was played on a trip to Wichita with the Friends LTniversity. Handi- capped by the loss of Larson and McNall, who missed the train out of Manhattan, and by the fact that the Friends ' court is popu- lated with six large posts, the Aggies had to be satisfied with the small end of a 29 to 24 score. The next night, January, 17, at Winfield, the Aggie Five braced up and gave the Southwestern College five more than they could handle by throwing twenty-three field goals and two free throws while Southwestern was shooting eighteen of the double counters and five single points. However, after a rousing meeting on the morning of January 18, the Southwestern lads came back strong for the second game of the series and defeated the Farmers 38 to 20. In both of these games Hamilton of Southwestern was easily the star, throwing thirteen goals in the first and seven goals in the second game. Hehn ' s work at guard was superb at all times. Edwards, McCallum and Larson all did excellent goal shooting. The second game was characterized by considerable rough playing. The Terrible Swedes from Lindsborg furnished the curtain raiser for the home games, January 30, and although they put up some work of the stellarvariety at times in the game, they were easy victims for the home boys . The score was 40 to 20. Four new faces appeared for the critical gaze of the basketball fans in this game. It was the first official appearance of Hehn, McCallum, Prather and Soudei-s, all of whom showed they were of ' varsity calibre. The next to tangle with the Aggies was a team of lengthies from William Jewell, February 6. This game was scheduled by ' phone at noon, February 4, which made it one of the impromptu variety, but it proved a very interesting one from the viewpoint of the spectators. There is no doubt that this was the roughest and hardest contested game of the season, the Aggies having twelve fouls called on them. Cap- tain Edwards and Hehn did star work at guarding, each allowing his opponent to make only one field goal. Edwards was also up to his usual tricks of shooting goals, getting five good ones. Johnson for the Jewells was a whang at the fi ' ee throws, getting nine out of twelve changes. Broberg broke into the lime light as a ' varsitj- man in this game and showed good signs of being a comer. ' The final score was K. S. A. C. 21— Jewells 13. After quite a little dickering the Washburn team was persuaded to meet our boys February 15 in battle attire. After holding the crowd till 8:45 the Blues made their appearance. During the game Edwards made eight of his customary sensational running guard goals. Smiley, for the visitors, was the chief scalper, getting six of the coveted goals. E. C. Quigley of St. Mary ' s, acted as referee which is guarantee enough that the game was fast and clean. The boys from down the Kaw really had hoped to win but had to be content with a defeat of 36 to 23. 181 The last game of the season on the home court was an easy one for the Farmers who piled up the record score for 1911, 76 to 21, against the Kansas Wesleyans from Salma, the evenmg of March 3. Captain Edwards put a gi-and finale to his basket ball career on the local court by making seventeen goals from the field during the game. The following day the team took its departure to the camp of the Congregational- ists down the Kaw. During the first half of this game everything was strongly for the Aggies but shortly after the beginning of the second half Hahn was removed from the game via the personal foul route. This seemed to take all the team work out of the Farmers and put pep into the Sons of Ichabod for from this time till the closmg gun confusion reigned supreme with the Aggies and team work supplanted chaos among the Washburnites. By defeating our boys 32 to 23 Washburn laid claim to the championship of the Topeka Conference Colleges. With the advantages to be had by the use of the Nichol ' s Gymnasium and with the material which has been developed on the second team and in the class games we can see a glowing prospect for the Kansas Aggie Basket Ball team of the season of ' 11- ' 12.

Dixon, who had been a member of the 1909 team, was in school and some new men developed during the spring. Of the new men, Holmes made the best show- ing. The team was hampered by lack of a sufficient number of meets to do the best work. There was one dual meet with the Nebraska Wesleyan, and the state meet. The meet with the Nebraska Wes- leyan was a very good one from point of records. The day was good for track work and the track was in excellent condition. Four new college records were established during the meet. Christian won the hundred yard dash in 9 4 5 seconds and the two-twenty yard dash in 23 3 5 seconds. Fowler lowered the half mile mark to 2:05 3 5 and Pyles broke the broad jump record with a jump of 21 feet and 1} 2 inches. The college took the meet 79-38. The team was seriously handicapped before the state meet by the illness of Austin and Detwiler, sure point winners. Detwiler and Austin both came back but were unable to round into form for the state meet, neither placing. The team that went to the state meet had eight contestants of whom only four won places. In spite of this, the college won second place, being defeated by the Normal with a margin of three points. At the state meet. Holmes was the best mdividual point winner, getting 13 points, Christian and Pyles getting 10 4 each. Fowler 53 and Ambler 2} 2- For the season. Holmes led innumberof points with 26, Christian and Pvles mak- ing 20 3 4 each. Fowler 15 3 4. In records Christian leads with two college and one state record; Pyles and Fowler one college and one state record each and Holmes one college record. The track men worked well and deserve more encouragement and support. At our best meet on an almost perfect day the attendance was less than one hundred fifty. During the season, Mr. W. S. Elliott of Manhattan, gave a fine trophy cup to be contested for by the various classes. This cup was not awarded last year because the weather interfered with holding a meet before April seventeenth. ihf ' if,i ' Varsity Track Team H§ % t ;f % I € t Jf-W Junior Foot Ball Team (Uniuts JENNIS, although a minor sport, is a very popular one, as is shown by the large number of enthusiasts who take part in it. Its history has been TM short, it being recognized by the Athletic Association less than two years ago. Since then its development has been remarkable. Until today we find as many students indulging in tennis as in any other sport. The faculty, too, displays a remarkable liking for the game, and among its learned ranks are to be found many stars. At present only two courts on the campus are available, and these are crowded to their limit at all hours of the day. This condition is relieved somewhat by the fact that many of the students have private courts in town. The two courts of the Domestic Science Building were the scene, last year, of the first real inter-collegiate contests, and while for the most part the enemy made off with the laurels, in no way has the spirit decreased, but rather increased as a result of the defeats. Two contests in the spring term, the first with Baker at Manhattan, Baker getting away with both the singles and the doubles. T he second tournament was the state meet at Emporia. Here the college was beaten by the winners of the meet: the K. S. N. and succeeded in getting men into the semi-finals of the singles. Next in order came the inter-class tournament. A great deal of interest was shown in this meet. Each class entered two teams. After a series of elimination, Johnson and Truskett, ' 10, defeated Kahl and Anderson, ' 11, thereby winning the cup. The only meet held in the fall term was the one with Alma. This consisted of two matches each of doubles and singles. This meet proved to be a much more successful one as far as the score was concerned, to the college, for in each match the college was victorious. The schedule this spring consisted of no inter-collegiate meets. However, several meets were scheduled with surrounding city teams, and two interclass tournaments were staged. Among the old heads we find Carr and Kahl, ' 11. of last year ' s team. The college is fortunate in getting Young and McCallum, Kansas High School cham- pions for 1910. This pair is expected to be a winner. Robinson, a tall Kansas City lad, is another find. His specialty is the singles. While Coach Whelan is obliged to divide his time between his track team and tennis, we can see nothing but a bright future under his able direction. Sad to relate, the tennis man of the past has been handicapped by numerous things. Chief among these have been the lack of courts and the depleted condition of the treasurer of the Athletic Association. These have both been caused by the construc- tion of the new gymnasium and the new Alumni field. With the gymnasium com- pleted, the tennis man ' s hopes are considerable brighter, for now he is afforded an opportunity to indulge in his pastime the year around. Alumni field is another source of inspiration to him, for when completed it will con- tain 18 of the finest clay courts in the state. Thus it is evident that the future is very bright for the ball and racket sharks. And no doubt, the coming college gen- erations will see tennis where it should be as one of the principle sports. Mechanic Arts Building Seniors at D.

The foot ball season was enough to inspire the best work from the class teams, and when the final score of the first inter-class game sounded, the score was three to nothing in favor of the juniors. i he seniors hooked the shriveled appendage of the score. That happens to be within one point of the lowest possible score that can win a foot ball game, so that wasn ' t bad. The next week the freshmen and sophs plaved a 5 to 5 game that had to be repeated to show that the freshmen were the better men. Still better playing. This first series left the championship between the juniors and the freshmen. Their battle resulted in a 6 to victory for the juniors. In the girls ' basket ball tournament, the sophomores came out in the lead. In the first tournament the seniors put the freshmen out of the running 22 to 15. Imme- diately after this the sophomores defeated the juniors 16 to 13. There was some real basket ball exhibited and seats were certainly at a premium on that occasion. One week later the juniors and freshmen had a little argument as to who should occupy the cellar position, the freshmen being rudely placed there 29 to 10. The seniors and sophomores then tangled in mortal combat and to the wails of the seniors the sophomores ran away 23 to 9. It is the census of opinion that the last year ' s basket ball tournament was, by far, the classiest ever staged here. The boys also staged some good basket ball games but the juniors easilv ran off with the cup, taking on the sophomores 42 to 18, and the seniors 49 to i5. The sophomores defeated the freshmen 18 to 7, so that no one can possibly question the championship of the juniors in this sport. ATHLETICS (!;hr tuiinttH ' lipralb HE Students ' Herald is the only student paper published at the Kansas T State Agi-icultural College. Issued semi-weekly it published the news of interest to its readers and comments editorially upon interesting phases oj student life and college interests. Its policy is conservatively inde- pendent upon all matters of student sentiment and activity. The best interests of the college and its futui ' e duty to the State and coming student bodies are the chief considerations in determining its present attitude. On many questions of moment and importance it is recognized as arbiter. Historically: It has been published since 1895. For some years it was published in newspaper form. Then it appeared until the fall of 1907 as a weekly magazine. Since 1907 it has been published as a semi-weekly newspaper. Financially the paper is not a success. The business management considers itself efficient if both ends meet at the close of college. But the business staff with the editorial and reportorial departments, willingly sacrifices time and, too often, studies, with true college spirit, which is in reality but the genuine civic spirit of a miniature community. SrlTcitiuj5 NTER-COLLEGIATE debating is in its infancy at the Kansas State ' Agi-icultural College, the double debate with Fairmount College last year being the first venture of the college into this field of activity. This first contest resulted in a draw, the affirmative team winning from Fair- mount at Manhattan, and the negative team losing at Wichita. The question was: Resolved; That the United States should establish a permanent tariff commission. The second annual contest, April 14, 1911, was a complete victory for Fairmount. The Congregationalists ' negative team, Ober Nossman, Marjorie McMahon and John Ripperton, received a unanimous decision over the college team, E. A. Vaughn, Guy Pingi-ee and Ivan Moorhead, on the question, Resolved; That the Constitution of the State of Kansas should be amended to provide for the initiative and referendum. Professor J. E. Kammeyer presided at the debate. Prof. C. C. Kochendorfer, McPherson College, B. A. Allison, McPherson, and E. B. Albaugh of Clay Center were judges. The same question was debated the same night at Wichita, the college negative team, S. E. Houk, Lee H. Gould and W. B. Honska, losing to the Fairmount representatives, Bert McCluggage, Merle Moon and John Jones, by a two to one decision. The alternates on the college teams were Alice Nielson and Roy E. Gwin. Two representatives from each of the eight literary societies make up the debat- ing council, which, in conjunction with Professor J. E. Kammeyer of the Public Speak- ing Department and Professor J. W. Searson of the English Department, has charge of the debating work of the college. ROYAL PURPLK MARCH CLASS 1911 K. S A C. GEO. A.

C. ail lib. ' ' OT every man who is preparing himself for agriculture, business, one of the N professions, or public life, realizes the value of forming in youth the habit of reading the best books. If it is not formed early, it is not likely to be formed at all. The taste for the largest and deepest ideas expressed in the noblest forms is a taste which gi ' ows with what it feeds upon. Darwin regretted very much in his later life that he had allowed himself to become so much absorbed in his work that this taste had died in him. Most men who have succeeded greatly in any walk of life have drawn strength and inspiration from the master- pieces of the past. In some professions the value is more direct, but whatever one ' s work it must gain by an enlarged outlook, by freedom and energy of thought; and these things are encouraged in us by the most beautiful poetry, the most profound history, the most mature essays. The person whose reading consists entirely of the specialties of his business, supplemented by fiction, newspapers, and periodicals, does not get his mind thoroughly aired out. He does not, in other words, develop in it the best of which it is capable. There is a strong tendency nowadays to make education practical; to relate it to the actual needs of the students; and this tendency is right, but it ought never to be forgotten that this is only part of education. Another part, which is also of the highest value, consists in training, in calling o ut all of a man ' s resources and making him most fully master of himself. For this last purpose the best means is a love of great books, and there is no substitute. Editor of Collier ' s Weekly. ■ K ' ' W M ■ H Bfl G B ° l 1 M P i M li . .

The founders wrought well ; the members have been faithful to theii trust, and the proud name Alpha Beta has always stood for all that is highest in literary training. The Alpha Beta society numbers among its members many of the best students in the college. Among the gi ' aduate members are a congi ' essman ; a director of the experiment sta- tion of the Kansas State Agi ' icultural College and the professor of horticulture in a western agricultural college; the professor of paleontology at the University of Chicago; the dean of women at Purdue; the editor of one of the leading western farm papers; an army officer, and hundreds of others who occupy positions of im- portance. The graduates believe that much of their success in life was made possible by the training they received in their literary society during their college career. During the past year the society has been progi ' essing rapidly and the quality of work has steadily improved. The programs are interesting and instructive. The members always look forward to the nights of meeting as the best of the week. The social gatherings of the society are numerous and include formal banquets, hay-rack rides, gipsy parties, the annual Christmas kid party, and an annual country picnic given at Commencement in honor of the graduating Alpha Betas. Visitors are always impressed by the spirit of earnest endeavor, co-operation, and good fellowship apparent in all the phases of the society work. The past, bright with glory, is work well done; Hope lights the future with tasks begun. Honest endeavor is honor won — This be thy motto, Alpha Beta! When in the waning of life ' s brief day Earth and its beauties shall fade away. One tender memory will cling for aye ' Twill be of thee, dear Alpha Beta! Lente serf certe progredimvr. iFranklin ICttrrary nnpti| JHE Franklin Literary Society was organized nine years ago. It has Tm developed in that time from one meeting in a class room, and scarcely able to hold its own, to a society second to none in strength or in quality of work. This advancement has been made over many obstacles. The Franklin Literary Society approves the principle laid down by the founders of the Agi-icultural College: That coeducation is desirable for the broadest development of the individual ; for that reason boys and girls are admitted to mem- bership. Once upon the rolls, every opportunity is given for improvement in debate, literature, parliamentary practice; and also along social lines. The object in the past has not been so much to produce elaborate progi-ams as to give to every member training along those lines which he most needed. The experience of gi-aduate mem- bers has shown the value of such training in the business world, the school, and the home. gill li.tt MfftSfiVif ' . In the annual oratorical contests of the last four years, the society has won first, second, fourth and third places, successively. Its orator this year, Lewis Williams, is a junior horticultural student, and has received two and a half years ' training in society work. Programs are given every Saturday evening in the college year. Visitors are assured a cordial welcome. As social development is an important part of one ' s education, one evening is reserved every term for some special social function. In the fall and winter, these functions usually are indoors. In the spring term the important event of the year takes place when the Franklins board the A. H. flat cars, drawn by the college trac- tion engine and go to the country. Electric lights are provided by attaching a genera- tor to the engine, and by the same means the picnic grounds are lighted. Through the literary societies, the upper and under classmen are enabled to become acquainted, resulting in a closer union of the student body. In this way the societies are doing a valuable service. The Ionians Alma Leavengood ' Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, Have of times no connection. Knowledge dwells, In heads replete with thoughts of other men: Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge a rude, unprofitable mass: There are materials with which wisdom builds.

The literary work of the society is of a high standard. Every member has frequent opportunity to appear upon the progi ' am with original papers, readings, extemporaneous talks or music. Also recognizing debate as an efficient means of developing one ' s ability to think accurately and quickly, much attention has been devoted to this form of public speaking with gratifying results. The chief disputant on the winning college team in our debate with Fairmount last year, was a Hamp. Once a year the entire student body is thrown into a fever of excitement by the oratorical contest. Upon these occasions the societies, represented by their chosen champions, strive for first honors in oratory. Of the eleven contests held thus far the Hamiltons have won first place four timeg, and have never ranked lower than fourth. After graduation men realize immediately the benefit they have derived from their literary societies. To every honorary Hamp. nothing except the college yell itself can bring back such a flood of pleasant memories of roasted eggs and toasted los., of hard work and steady growths, of well-fought battles and glorious victories as — ■ Ro!e-Bole-0, Role-Bole-0, Hamilton!

The Brownings (Tlir Irnuiutuga JCTOBER IS not generally considered the season for the coming of song Om birds, but it was October 11, 1910, that twenty-eight girls struck the har- monious chord that made the long-talked of new girls ' society in the in the Kansas State Agricultural College a reality. These girls chose the .u t, ' ° , , . emblem. The blue bird is an emblem of happiness and the brown and blue of its plumage are the colors of the Brownings All the members decided that they must have a modern name and that of a woman whose character would be an inspiration to truest womanhood and the highest liter- ary endeavor. Professor Kammeyer became godfather to the society by suggesting the name of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The old maxim, Birds of a feather flock together, met its affirmation on the eve of Hallowe ' en when the Brownings Yu ' l. ? ¥, Athenians. All rules or ornithology were put to rout when the blue bird and owl became sister and brother. The desire of the society is to get the rudiments of literary training and especially to familiarize the members with Mrs. Browning ' s life and poetry. The purpose is expressed in these lines from her pen : Reflect, if art be in truth the higher life, You need the lower life to stand upon — In order to reach up into that higher; And none can stand a tip toe in the place He cannot stand in with two stable feet, Remember then! for art ' s sake hold your life.

Alice Aylesworth, daughter M of Colonel Aylesworth, of Fort Clay, begs to go to Clinton. Colonel Ayleswo rth consents to let her go with the Rev. Pennington. Lieutenant Parker loves Alice and cannot bear to think of her leaving. Captain Boyd, owing to the unsettled condition of the country, is detailed to accompany her and the parson to Clinton. Alice shows more affection for Lieutenant Parker than for Captain Boyd. This arouses Captain Boyd ' s hati-ed and he forces Whiffles to aid him in obtaining papers which Lieutenant Parker has just received from Fort Clinton. Whiffles succeeds in stealing the papers. Captain Boyd returns very indignant at the treatment he received at the hands of Alice. Colonel Aylesworth hears that a band of Sioux Indians has just ambushed a party of travelers, an old man and a young woman. Colonel Aylesworth wonders why he did not get a message. Colonel Aylesworth calls for Lieutenant Parlcer and learns of the message but Leutenant Parker is unable to account for its disappear- ance. Captain Boyd agrees to help Lone Star win the north gun of the fort if he will deliver the girl. Alice and the Rev. Pennington, with Retawah ' s aid, escape. Lieu- tenant Parker is taken prisoner for breaking his parole in an effort to save Alice. Captain Boyd tries to get Lieutenant Parker to relinquish all claim on Alice before the trial and promises to get him out of the trouble. Lieutenant Parker refuses. During the trial Colonel Aylesworth receives word that the Indians are preparing for an attack. The court stands adjourned. Lieutenant Parker asks permission to go along and help fight, but Colonel Aylesworth refuses. Lieutenant Parker sees the fight from his cell and longs to be there to help recapture the north gun taken by the red skins. Suddenly a shell strikes the door and it is thrown open. He is now free to go and raise his sword in defense of his comrades. Lone Star is taken prisoner but is made to see that Colonel Aylesworth and his men mean their work well. Whiffles is severely wounded in the battle, and when taken to the hospital confesses of the stealing of the papers from Lieutenant Parker. Colonel Aylesworth admits Lieu- tenant Parker ' s honesty and bravery and sees in Captain Boyd the real criminal. Colonel Aylesworth, at Alice ' s request, writes out a recommendation for Lieutenant Parker ' s promotion and consents to their marriage.

D After much discussion the classes elected their representatives who met in North Society Hall, October 13, and completed the organization. Notwithstanding the fact that the council officially came into existence on the 13th, its progress has been uninterrupted. The council adopted early the policy of sawing wood and saying nothing. Having the faculty behind it, results are obtained. Few of even the older students realize what this council has done, and is doing for the student body because its business is transacted without publicity. Among the results already obtained, and those being now considered are: Change in time of final e xaminations; settlement of hazing cases; improvement of class relations; cleaning up class athletics; settlement of difficulties between student bodies and faculty and between factions of students; adoption of college pin; obtaining certain holidays; installation of honor system in examinations; abolishment of midterm examination; dinner service for senior boys; settling time for changes of text books; students, medical attendance, and exemption from examinations for E ' s.

O Itr f omtg licumt B (El natian AaBonattnn HE Young Women ' s Christian Association throws its influence around TA every girl as soon as she arrives in Manhattan. The years which a young woman devotes to preparation for her life duties are peculiarly full oi diversifying interests, if she is in college. It is the endeavor of the ' association to establish an equilibrium in the character of every college woman, as can be done in no other way than by the influence of her schoolmates. Her practical needs, such as finding room and board, are supplied when she enters at the beginning of the year; and employment is found for those who desire it. Bible and mission study have been helpful to many of the girls; members of the faculty and others have made the religious meetings especially attractive to the girls this year. In the winter term a series of talks was given by Dr. Bayley of Denver, and Dad Elliot, which were a source of spiritual strength to the girls of the college. Thirteen girls of the Kansas State Agi ' icultural College enjoyed one of the strong- est mfluences that can come into a college girl ' s life, from ten days spent at the Summer Conference at Cascade. Although a daily working friendship among the young women of the college is earnestly sought, these friendships are often originated, and always strengthened, by various social events of the year. Believing the social life of a student body to be a very important factor in character building, the management of the association gives more than ordinary attention to it. _ An excellent spirit of co-operation has prevailed in all the activities of the asso- ciation, and the fellowship will be permanent. iJ aavh of (TruBlrra Mrs. J. 0.

It IS also planned to have as many special meetings as possible, with interest- ing and instructive talks by speakers of note from this and other states and schools. 1 he association has at present no regular place of meeting, but a hall will be re- served as soon as possible, probably in the new Agricultural Building soon to b e built Inis hall IS to be the headquarters for all agricultural students. The association is open to all students taking work along agi-icultural lines It aims to fill a place in college life that is not, and cannot be filled in any other way and to give the agi-icultural students a means of getting better acquainted with one another and with their work. Agi ' iculture, as the most important feature of this college, should have an organization devoted exclusively to its interests. A student in agriculture must learn to solve problems which cannot he discussed in the classroom. The work there is given, a phase at a time, scattered over four years. There is no way of bringing these parts together into a well knit whole. It IS the object ot this association to do this, and to do its work so well that no student alive to his own interests can afford to miss its work. E. C. Westover E. H. Grandfbeld A. J. Wheeler E. R.

A few energetic veterinarians saw ' the need of an organization that would have for its aim the study of scientific questions principally along the line of veterinary medicine, and the prepararion of the men who were going out to meet the problems of a vetr- inarian. The membership is open to all students enrolled in the veterinary course. The associa- tion meets every two weeks. The programs are arranged by a committee consisting of a representative from each class. They consist of readings, papers upon special topics and the discussions that may be of general interest. Members of the faculty frequently give some practical demonstration, work or lecture upon special subjects. Aside from these items the association endeavors to give to its members the advantage of a literary training and parlia- mentary practice. The association obtained a state charter in 1909. ' Since that time a diploma is awarded to members upon graduation who have proved themselves worthy of the honor by their work in the association. This year the association has the largest enrollment in its history. Practically all members of the sophomore junior and senior classes have become members. With such material the pros- pects tor the future are very promising. rniurs J. W. Benner L. B. Barber R. A. Branson J. H. COFFMAN R. V. Christian L. A. Hammers C. A. Hazzard R. E. Henry E. A.

The meetings are held in Eurodelphian-Franklin Hall, the second and fourth Mondays of every month. As it grows older, the club is developing traditions of its own, and a spirit of loyalty in its membership. It especially cultivates music and amateur dramatics, and is characterized by its genial, informal social spirit. Its flower is that rare Alpine growth — the Edelweiss.

THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE AGE Old methods won ' t do. You are studying the different modes of farming — how to get the best results — the different crops best adapted to the different soils — the kind of cultivation necessary to produce the best results under given conditions. FOR SEVENTY YEARS we have been manufacturing tillage tools and always our aim has been to make nothing but the best. Started in a one-man black- smith shop. Today we employ over 1400 skilled mechanics — all working by the day or week — no premium on haste in our factory. There is nothing in tillage tools that we don ' t make and every one of them is BACKED BY AN UNQUALIFIED GUARANTEE.

KANSAS CITY, MO. The Seni()i3 Ideas of Write-ups Blank, as he commonly goes by, is a son of his mother. He was born when quite young. He claims the arid west for his home where the distilleries are few and far between. Jake, although born and has meddled with a spoon since his youth, ' says that everyone previous to maturity, should be deprived of Its use. No doubt he has been destined to lead. In him you can see a i-emarkable combination of Julius Caesar and Martin Luther. We are told both these men were leaders and reformers and Jake is nothing if not both. He believes in livmg easy and he surely does live out his beliefs- for there never was a boy who studied less, bluffed and bummed more, and got more out ot his work. This shrewd, calculating little man knows philosophy and talks it and upon his graduation he will go into the bee business. He intends to cross the honey bee with a lightning bug to derive a species that will work after night Blank is the joy and pride of our class. With her brown eyes and merry air she has won all hearts — and especially one lean, lanky man that hangs out with the civil squad. When .she first arrived she had great ambitions to do something for the human race but now she has changed her mind and will conduct a model school of domestic economy for one. She is a girl who will bless a home and her sterling qualities and many accomplishments will always bring her many friends as has well been shown by her many lovers in college. She is a sober, earnest girl but with a crowd of friends she is as jolly as any. Her only regrets on leaving college is a procession of broken hearts which she can never repair. She is the terror of the library. Her merry laugh can be heard ringing through the main hall To know her is to love her. him.

In other words he is an architect. He has a very worthy ambition to build some of the structures which in centuries to come will be pointed out as representing twentieth century civil- ization. Along with this he has another am- bition to some day live in one of these struc- tures, but this is not an ambition for himself alone. He expects more than mere honor for his work. It must pay dividends of a more substantial sort. He has made his own way through college, and has always been interested in college activities. His cases have been numerous but not serious The senior girls never had any particular attraction for this young man. He was more often a victim of Short Course be- mtchery.

He: Well, I don ' t want you to make any more. She (Surprised): Why, Oley? He: Because, Kate, you are entirely too light for such heavy work.

' szi Clara Kleiwer: I am indebted to you for all I loiow. Teacher Don ' t mention it. It is a mere trifle. Blessed is the man that walketh not upon the gi ' ass, Nor standeth in the way of people in the hall, Nor sitteth in the seats of chapel, at vacant houre, But his delight is in the law of the faculty, and in their laws doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a member of the faculty: planted behind his desk. That sendeth forth silps in their season. Whose words doth make thee wither, and what- soever he doeth shall be law. The bums are not so: But make smoke which the mind driveth away, Therrfore the bums shall not stand in the college halls, Nor other bums in the congi-egation of the students of K. S. A. C. Why is courting like physics? The lower the gas the harder the pressure. A Harvard professor was called on for a speech at his wedding supper. He was a man of deeds, not words, and entirely unused to making speeches, but he finally succumbed and rismg nervously, laid his hand on the bride ' s shoulder and said ' Mv friends, this thing has been forced upon me. Smiling Philosophy When you ' i-e glad, then smile To let people know it; When you ' re sad, why smile So as not to show it. It doesn ' t matter how you feel, But only how you do. So sad or gay, just smile away, And things won ' t long be blue. It ' s a sovereign cure for illness. An antidote for sin; All the world ' s smiling. Why don ' t you join in? If you are so mean you can ' t do right yourself, don ' t blame the other fellow for trying to do the right thing.
