Its J ' mi by 400 miles of fertile territory must be made more and more productive and effective in feeding the ever increasing population of the world. To do this, the farmer must become the expert of experts. To make them so is the ever increasing problem of the College. It is the greatest problem of the age. We are bending every energy to the success of a policy that will make it meet its oppor- tunities and fulfill its mission. It must be made the great laboratory, experiment and demonstration center of Kan- sas farm life. It must send ever increasing numbers of trained, expeit agriculturists out into the actual farm life of the State. Its observations and discoveries must rind their way in effective shape and attractive form into the home of every farmer and stock raiser. It must correlate its work with every other school in the State. It must populaiize agricultural training and make it a part of the active curriculum of every school from the kindergarten up. The rural and grade schools and the high schools must feel that they are a part of it. Ed. T.

Subsequent acts of Congress and of the Legislature of the State impose upon the College the further duties of creating through the Experiment Stations and diffusing through the Extension Service useful information pertain- ing to agriculture, home economics, and manual arts, and of preparing instructors to teach the elements of agricul- ture, mechanical and household arts. This, in a word, is the work assigned to the Kansas State Agricultural College. Yours truly. H. J. Waters. President. oyal Purple 1013 W14 HENRY JACKSON WATERS, B. S. A., LL. D..

It is the welcome of spring, of the birds a n d the flowers. The event is heralded weeks before the actual time comes. The election of the Mav Queen, who is given the honor by a popular election of the student body; the planning of the stunts; the making of the booths; the games, and all that make the day what it is. The day breaks fair. The s u n comes up over the valley of the Kaw. The campus grad- ually takes on a gala appearance. Here a n d there groups of students are working o n their different stunts. The grand- stand is being erected on the lower campus. Under a group of trees, the throne is being placed. The early day passes on. The crowd gathers on the campus. Ex- cited knots of students speculate on the difierent events that will soon be under wav. Presently, the voice of the director is heard forming the march of the Youths and Maidens. The Queen mounts the snow- white steed. A trumpet sends out its call. Hidden somewhere on the lower campus, the band begins its march. The procession moves ahead. The May Pole is wound. The Queen is crowned with the wreath of spring ' . The games are on, and the crowd is moving to- wards the different attractions. The Annual May Day is in full action.

In all probability, the Seniors were not present on account of an unusual amount of studying which they always seemed to have on hand at Chapel time. The coming of the County Fair, which Ikey ' s visit was arranged to announce, occasioned his appearance in Chapel. The importance of the announce- ment was responsible for the fact that he brought with him his wife and entire family, also Mammy and old Job, and they were all dressed in their best Sunday-go-to-meetin ' clothes. It was a real live old-fashioned County Fair. First, you paid to get into the place, and then found it necessary to pay again to visit any of the special attractions within the side- shows. The first thing you saw. after you were fairly inside the door, was an opportunity to spend money at a great, square table of candy, pop-corn, peanuts, etc. Of course, you could not pass by these things, because you could not get into the side- shows without something to eat. Upon basis of the testimony of many of those who visited the Fair, it seems that the best way to see everything was to attack the problem systematically and begin upon the top floor. The Hamp Burlesque and Shakespeare ' s Merchant of Venice in the Hamp Hall would put Ben Greet to shame, and he would, in event of being fully advised thereof, never have the nerve necessary to instance the presentation of any of his own Shakespearean productions at the Kansas State Agricul- tural College again. The next attraction of significance was the Katzenyammer Castle, into which you went with your right mind, but on leav- ing, was unable to prove either to your own satisfaction or the satisfaction of your friends that you were still sane. It was great fun. so conclusively so. that even Professor Price is reported as having positively stated that he enjoyed it. Page 65 L Royal Purple The National Board of Censorship formally approved all of the movies which were exhibited. The inspection of the Board was of a critical character which resulted in the elimina- tion of a number of attractions which might have been greatly enjoyed, had they been shown. However, the management considered it proper to have the attractions carefully passed upon, and eliminations made did not materially detract from the entertainment, as a whole, on account of the liberality of its original arrangement. All of the pictures offered were fine, from Mike ' s baby picture to present college cases. Gadski ' s second appeared as a vaudeville artist and sang some exquisite songs. Most of the feminine visitors spent much time about the fancy work booth, and were continuously observed in a wrangle over the bargains which were offered. The boys, particularly of athletic tendencies, fought over an opportunity to throw at the Nigger Dodger, while others stood around either waiting to get a shot at the target, or to watch the result of the shoot- ing. The management covered every detail of entertainment, even having a picture gallery where your picture was taken, developed and finished while you waited. You simply had to have your fortune told in the District School, bought an ice- cream cone and then sauntered on to the Olympic Games. No one hurried home, even after having seen all or been a part of some of the attractions, but stood about watching the crowd of later visitors and the races which were the final important features. Every one went home tired, but firmly determined that they would never let any opportunity to witness a County Fair slip by. 1914 9SS ¥ MMUMM Well, when we got here, the town was all decorated up in the college colors and every- thing had a holiday appearance. We looked at our program, and the first thing of importance was the parade by the students. That was scheduled for the first day, but an early cold snap made it impossible for it to be held on the day that was set for it and it had to be postponed for a day. The next day was as if it had been made for jl Purple the occasion. It was bright and sunny and everything- started. Of course there was two days of speaking and receptions and entertaining and visiting, but the most fun 1 and the biggest part of the whole show was that parade by the students. Every depart- ment was represented by its students in floats that had been made by them. The first thing in the procession was the buglers and the band. It was like a sure-enough circus - , 1914 t - 2 [p the way It was put on. The Animal Husbandry department furnished some cattle and horses that would have made circus horses and elephants look cheap. Then all of the other departments came in for their share of the fun. Most of them had some funny floats, but all of them had good sensible ones that explained just what the College was doing and what benefit it was to the farmers. I don ' t know as it would be worth while to go into particulars about the different floats. One of the boys had a camera along L vl Purple and he took a bunch of pictures that I thought was right good. It was too bad that the engineers could not have had pictures of their display taken when they held their parade that night. It sure was good with all the engines and contraptions that they had. It was as good as you will ever see and it really surprised everybody when the engineers turned out to show what they had. They had more than enough apparatus 1914 Roy on their engines and wagons to build a small sized Panama canal. Of course they were not alone. The Domestic Science department had some floats. The boys in Engineering had ideas that the whole department ought to go with their parade and the ' Ags ' had ideas along the same line, but somewhat different from the conclusions that the Engineers had. h Purple Well, a compromise was made, and both divisions had some Domestic Science floats. One of those with the Engineers was a modern home, electrically equipped, and the girls were cooking, washing, ironing, and doing almost all kinds of housework by electricity. 914 The other two days, as I mentioned before, were given over to meetings and reunions. Prominent educators from all over the country spoke. It was interesting and the auditorium was crowded from morning until night. Royal Purple There was not a person there that did not enjoy himself, and the last night a big reception was given in the gymnasium. The alumni were in predominance and after it was over, one could hardly help but think, ' What will the College be in fifty more years, if it keeps to the pace that it has set in the half-century that it has finished?

Growing meat that will make delicious roasts, juicy steaks, and tender chops for a hungry and rapidly increasing people of a great State is a big. worth-while work. Such workers will be welcomed with a brass band, and a special movie matinee in the most ordinary village. The larger the town. the more royal the reception, as the aforesaid foodstuffs, and producers of such edibles are in the minority. Performing this service for humanity, and more especially the populace for this great commonwealth, called Kansas, is a part of the labor the Kansas State Seniors of 1914 in animal husbandry desire to do. All this worry about the world ' s meat supply will be unnecessary after June [8, 1014 Anno Domini.

The barns and equipment are up-to-date in every respect.

There is much truth in the phrase, Ince a dairyman, always a dairyman. Even the girls are becoming interested in dairy work. A large number of them took work in the special class in dairying the winter term. A- a further proof of their interest, many of them may be seen any warm day strolling in the direction id the Dairy Building with some smiling youngster that they are decoying to the ice-cream counter.

The team con- sisted of the following Senior dairy students: Roy M. Phillips, Ralph II. IVIusser, I ■ . y Judging ' ' ai l Purple C. S. Goldsmith, and H. C. Stockwell, alternate member. Prior to the contest, the team was ably coached by Prof. J. B. Fitch, who with the team visited most of the best dairies in the State. On the trip to Chicago the team attended the National Dairy Congress at Waterloo, Iowa, where they had an opportunity to study some of the best dair) cattle in the country. From Waterloo, the trip was continued through the southern part of Wisconsin and back to Chicago in time for the contest, where the team competed with fifteen other team-, representing a- many states. Senior Dairy Sttidt nti _ , 1914 t — Wortianlteal Department ERHAPS no department in the College has experienced steady, substantial growth to so great a degree as has the Horticultural Department. Throughout the country there is a great and ever-increasing demand for Kansas products. The people of Kansas are awakening to the possibilities of fruit growing within the state. An astonishing amount of young trees is being set out. Old orchards are being reno- vated; orchards now bearing fair crops are being worked to produce heavier yields. In the Arkansas valley the wonderful possibilities for horticultural projects through the utilization of the well-nigh inexhaustible underflow for irrigation purposes, are just beginning to be realized. For the man scientifically trained, of forceful personality, and possessed of a store of technical knowledge, together with a desire to accomplish a healthy amount of daily labor, the demand and opportunities are great. Men of the above calibre are being produced by the Horticultural Department. Prominent among the men who are doing the things really worth while in college life are Horticulturalists. Among the Senior Horts are numbered three presidents of liter- ary societies, two inter-collegiate debaters, and two inter-society orators. Of the five men awarded Junior honors from the whole agricultural division last year, two were Dickens ' men. Elsewhere positions of trust and leadership are being creditably filled by Horticulturalists. In the Semi-Centennial Celebration last fall the Horticultural display was one of the features of the mammoth parade. Owing to the cold weather and to the fact that the Hort men were obliged to construct their floats out-of-doors, the men were greatly handicapped in their preparations. However, the work was finished by the appointed time, and the many compliments received amply repaid the hardships endured. In January, the personnel of the Fruit Judging Team was chosen. Spring, McNall, Morgan, Jaccard, and Hood composed the team. Toward the latter part of the month the team journeyed to Lincoln, Neb., where a triangular contest was held between Nebraska University, the Iowa Aggies, and K. S. A. C. Notwithstanding the fact that two of the men were badly off form, the team missed first place by the narrow margin of thirty-four points. Jaccard proved to be the high man of the whole contest. On this trip we were kept out of all evil by the vigorous efforts of the sophisticated Mike Ahearn, Coach, ably assisted in times of stress by Fred Merrill. Early in the year the need became apparent for an organization that should par- take of the combined functions of a seminar and an experience meeting. Accordingly the Horticultural Society was formed, with W. L. Sweet at the helm. Students of the Horticultural Division, irrespective of their year in college, were admitted to member- ship. Several meetings were hid during th year at which men prominent in the horti- cultural world gave practical advice and related some of their experiences. The Societj gives promise of developing next year into an even stronger and more i flficienl organi- zation. Rarely, indeed, in college life, lias there been so close a bond of sympathy and understanding between faculty and students as has existed in the Horticultural Divi- sion. The career of the ' 11 Hort nun has been marked by an utter absence of the mis- understandings and petty annoyances that so often arise during a four-year course. and which serve to mar the good fellowship of student and professor. In the Horticul- tural department never interrupted cordiality has existed at all times between pn Page 111 l Purple and student, and has been maintained by eomraderie and sacrifice on the one hand, and by never failing respect and appreciation on the other. At the head of the department is Professor Albert Dickens. To his ability and energy is due the lion ' s share of the credit for the splendid showing made by the divi- sion. Professor Dickens was allotted by Divine Providence a greater amount of mana- gerial ability than is accorded the average man. Dick, as he is known to the fruit interests of the state, has gained an enviable reputation, and his advice is regarded as the Alpha and Omega on matters horticultural. Associated with Professor Dickens is one Michael Francis, surname Ahearn, who is deservedly the most popular- idol of the campus. Mike ' s middle name should have been Versatility. From gracefully sipping tea and daintily nibbling lady-fingers at a function of the Ladies ' Aid Society to making ' •Injun Thorpe look like a novice on the athletic field, he is the dominant species of the genus homo. In repartee, clever; in wit, caustic; he is yet full of the milk of human kindness and will lend you a nickel on the slightest provocation. When it comes to Sprays and Spraying, D. E. Lewis is the answer to all interro- gations. D. E. has acquired a national reputation from his original work on the control of apple blotch. Prof Lewis is the terror of the Sophomore Ags in Plant Propagation. Should one chance to pass the nocturnal haunts of the lowly Soph he may hear such terms as Aeseulus hippocastanum and Pseudotsuga mucronata exuding therefrom in their dreams. Fred Merrill, our newly acquired jewel from Massachusetts, is the one discordant element in our organization. Fred interferes greatly with the stenographic work of the department. He is, as our long-haired artist friends would say, of the bent mechanical, and exhibits an inordinate and insatiable fondness for typewriters. Among the Senior Horts are many gems of scintillating effulgence. Willie Curry has it on the rest of the bunch in being brilliant outside as well as inside. Willie is of a modest, retiring nature, and can best be likened unto a violet. Early in life William Lovelorn Sweet started out to make a collection of society and frat pins. All through childhood he cherished these greatly, but shortly after reaching the period of adolesence he was met by a little Brown girl, who surreptitiously took all his pins away. Twisting the cast-iron proverb a little askew we get, He who steals my bocket-book steals trash; but she who purloins my pins gets my good name. Indecision is one of Jaccard ' s chief characteristics. See Roy is torn between hankerings to be a circuit rider and a polygamist. Constant worry over this, together with nightly applications of anti-fat, is reducing the cultured one to an alarming state of emaciation. Lawrence Anderson is the lady-killer of our organization, and is held responsible for many casualties. His saccharine seductiveness would move a Venus de Milo to most unbecoming agility. Feminine charms appeal but slightly to Ray Ellis, who derives greater solace from chewing gum. Ernest Shaad has received a flattering offer from a carnival company to become a Blushing Beauty in their show. Grave fears are enter- tained for the longevity of Harold Gaden. For the past year Harold has been smitten with locomotor ataxia in its most virulent form. Horace Wilkie cherishes the ambition to become a prize fighter. Week-end visits to Topeka, ostensibly parental in nature, interfere greatly with his avowed vocation. Tommy Spring is a poet by nature and a dyspeptic by extraction. Don McCallum, ex-athlete, is torn between conflicting emo- tions. Said emotions reside in communistic domiciles on Povntz and Leavenworth. Royal Purple Senior Horts - 1914 «= Roy; iETERINARY medicine has made remarkable progress within recent years, and is taking its place alongside human medicine as a science. In truth, medical science and veterinary science are but specialized branches of the same science, and must be developed together. The modern veter- inarian takes his place in Dr. Scho nh If i the community as a pro- fessional man of education and culture. In the few years that the Department of Veterinary Medicine has existed at the Kansas State Agricultural College as a separate and distinct division, it has grown to the extent that it now offers a course of study, w hich though largely technical, enough subjects of a general char- acter are included to give a sound education and a broad outlook. The department is housed in the Veterinary Building, which was erected at the cost of over S60.000 and is thor- oughly equipped throughout. It contains modern class rooms, and its laboratories possess the necessary appliances for illustrat- ing the various subjects that are taught. Clinic t± yal Purple The policy adhered to in all the department- is that the science of veterinary medicine is the foundation, and the art merely supplementary. A thorough drill is given in the foundation studies, and. later in the course, practical application of these is made in actual held work. Tin- results in a thoroughly scientific veterinary education. As for a personnel of the professors and instructors, that i- hardly worth the while, a- the Seniors for whom this i written will never forget. In mentioning the members of the Senior graduating class, there are several who are worth a moment ' - notice. Jesse Fry has been the politician of the hunch 1914 since we haw been subject to the evil influence of the other departments in class- meeting. There was scarcel) a meeting for the first three year- that Jc--e did not give his opinion, and he has served on several committees. However, in the I: -i few months, he has given more of his time to the profession. Hoc [mmenschuh has been a member of the class since it started and i- the only vet who did not chew in the main hall. There are several assignable reasons, hut suffice it to saj that Aldie was always ace high with the Dome-tic Science stu- dents, and in a way this may have helped to form some of his habits. Take Houser used to be tough. After trying to live up to his reputation for three years, he gave it up as a miserable failure. It .-imply was not in him to do it. and furthermore, he saw that there was a chance for him to become a good man in the profession. Roscoe Parrish, whose middle name i- Damron, suggesting a certain well-known rose, i- the only man in college who ha- a hor-e and buggy at his disposal. Not that the student all walk; no, indeed, for many of them use their parent- ' motor car. but there are certain thing- that can be said in favor of the older method of locomotion that are essential and lacking in the -elf-propelled vehicles. Parish i- there in many ways in these unnamed essentials. Lucian Hnbbs is noted for his silence. With him it is more than golden.

He will be a good ••doctor without a doubt, and the wages i- safe that when once his mi-take- are buried, there will be little chance of Lucian opening the discussion anew. There are a lot more thing- that might be said about the Senior- of this de- partment. Some of us arc not so well known as they might be, on account of spending a great deal of time in the dissecting room, and there are few who care to make our acquaintance. However, the hunch that goes out have worked hard, have been good fellows together, and in the time to come, the Doctors of Veter- inary Science who have received their degree this year will be making good. There is no profession that is better able to give success, if the men in it are of the risrht sort. h Royal Purple Th, V, I Seniors 1914 ,- ■ . Domestic Science D al Purple 1914 s Y]TTj DUCATION is the adjustment of those elements of environment in Jzz J modern life, which will tend to better conditions and make labor more effective. Men and women often mistake education tc . mean relief from labor. It i- not that, but it is relief from the drudgery that is the result of ignorance, by teaching the more economic and intelligent use of human effort. The Kansas State Agricultural College offers its students a general education and at the same time specific training in some special line of work. The modern girl is not satisfied with the development of her intellectual powers only, but she must give attention to her esthetic, social, domestic, economic, and spritual development. By careful training and attention t these powers, she is developed perfectly and completely. The girl who finishes the Home Economics Course is fitted for the social or business world and for the most responsible position which she can ever hold, that of wife and mother. The required English, mathematics, history, science, psychology, and economics, assume a new significance when they are Royal Purple : 4 lighting of the home; economics, to manage her home properly ; and psychology, to observe the develop- ment of the children and to use the best mean- to guide and train them. In the Home Economics Course proper, the girl learns hand sewing, the various stitches and darning. The making of undergarments and tub dresses teaches the manipulat- ing of the sewing-machine. Dress- making gives practice on woolen and silk material-. Art needle work, milliner), and tailoring are offered as electives and are found to be very practical. Textiles is given for the study of the origin recognized as essential tools in the accomplishment of some definite purpose. The specific training in- cludes the most economic way to spend time, energy, and money; a knowledge of the laws of health; and understanding of the sanitary requirements of the home; the proper care of children ; the proper selection and preparation of foods; and the ability to secure sufficient service from others. Home Eco- nomic- teaches cheerfulness, order, cleanliness, and the feeling of re- sponsibility. Art teaches the girl to furnish her home with taste; chemistry and bacteriology, to pro- vide for sanitary construction and the proper preparation of foods; physics teaches her to judge for herself concerning the heating and Page 122 1914 and manufacture of the various kinds of material used for clothing. House- hold chemistry teaches the action of various chemical-, so that in selecting .: one may know exactly what -he is getting. Laundering is given along with textile study in order that the girl may become familiar with the action of bleaching agent.- upon cloth. jl Purple Domestic Science includes the study and preparation of various foods in regard to their physical and chemical composition. It also includes formal and informal service. Dietetics is the study of dietaries and balanced rations with respect to age, sex, race, and occupation. Therapeutics is the 1914 ij study and preparation of trays for the sick, in order that the food may be wholesome and at the same tunc attractive. Home Nursing gives a verj brief course in caring for the sick in the home. Before this year, boys have been excluded from the Home Economics department, but in recent years it has been found how essential to the boy are the principles of cooking. Acting upon this. idea, the department has fc= Royal Purple installed a cooking class for boys, which has proved to he very satisfactory.

The purpose of this new course was to train the rising generation in the modern methods of construction and a knowledge of artistic forms that would be of credit to the present age of architecture. Until recent years the study of architecture was not appre- ciated, and it is but recently that the leading colleges of higher education in the United States have developed it to its proper proportions. With the rise of modern methods of steel, concrete and fireproof construction, the problems of the architect made it necessary that those engaging in active work should know definitely the properties and best methods of this new construction. The only solution of this question MEM 5 « A was that of technically trained men who could adapt the new materials to the artistic forms. Thus there was installed at this College a Department of Archi- tecture, with Dr. J. D. Walters at its head. Although the department is still in its infancy, the success of its graduates reflects much credit upon the College and the work of the department. This is largely due to the environment in which they have been trained. Perhaps at no other institution in the West is so much emphasis laid upon the tendency of modern archi- tectural education, which is to broaden the architect ' s artistic horizon to the greatest extent; and to unite once more in the architect something of all the arts. This harmonious union of all the arts, which has always characterized the great periods of architectural development is the hope of the architect of the future. And the department is very fortunate to have at its head a man so capable of combining these parts. The course offers great oppor- tunities in technical and artistic training, but it is not in these alone that the students are benefited. The association of the students with each other and the broader view of life obtained about the lecture table is perhaps one of the 1914 dearest memories and sources of greatest benefit in the mind of every graduate. This association and instruction has been the means of developing the fraternal spirit to a greater extent than is often enjoyed by the students of a department in a college of this size. As a result, a few years ago there was gathered together a number of con- genial souls that were of one mind and purpose, who organized the Architectural Club. The success of this club and the fraternal spirit of the members has gradually been the means of establishing an Architectural Fraternity at this College. Many things happen that are of interest to the students and Daddy, for it can safely be said that all are not scholars that enter this department. It is said that John and Rude have one of the poorest batting averages when it comes to Applied Mathe- matics that was ever enjoyed by any student since Asberry has left us. The ability of English and Sam to obtain a working knowledge of the Theory of Electricity has been = Purple the source of a great deal of admiration from McNair. Seeing the danger of mathe- matics ahead, Russ, John, and English have diligently avoided all chances of running ashore. Earl has long been noted for his ability as a construction engineer on commit- tees as well as his love of tripping the fantastic step. Russ and Smutz can both claim honors, however, in this latter case. But where Smutz shines as a brilliant light above all the rest of the class is his ability as a politician and fusser. 1914 SMI Entglmeerfing 7| HK fall term of 1908 first saw the course of vit Civil Engineering at thi- school. Assistant Pro- L. E. Conrad was placed in charge. A year later he was made professor of the course and 1). O. was elected assistant. Mr. Stone resigned in June. 1911, to accept a position in the Philippine-. and his place was taken by Professor Frazier, who -till retain- it. In the relatively short time that the department has existed, it has sent out fifty men into the work, over ninety per cent now being engaged in -Mine phase of the profession. I f the thirteen members of the grad- uating class of [913, -even are employed by the same company. Such is a brief history of the past, and the present class will soon be making another chapter of that record. Our college -end- us out, not merely as engineers, but with those fundamental principles in mind that will enable the man with ability to rise in his chosen line. The University of Hard Knocks i- the only- school that turns out finished engineers, but a degree from this institution enable- it- stu- dents and graduates to enter that university without pre- liminary examination-, and in that great school, we enter on a sound footing. There have always been re- marks made about the car- rier- of the line. There has always existed a time-worn joke that civil engi neer- are the most uncivilized members of the student body, but as yet, no one has taken it -er- Purple iously enough to cause the present Seniors to reconsider. Another false accusation is made that our very work makes the home an impossibility. Some of the Seniors are bending every effort to disprove this theory and if appearances count fur much, it will be among the other exploded hypo- thesis that we have disproved in our -hurt careers as college men. ' It is true that our bunch did have ome difficult)- in being able to eat the meals served for Senior men at the Domestic Science building. However, Gilles was well acquainted with those who were denying us the right, and when the true condition was made known, we were given a very cordial welcome. One of the boys thought that a course should he given in camp fire etiquette, but it was discouraged. 1914 J t a matter of going it record, at this point it would he well to protest the action of the college in letting Jimmy Moss taken Masonry and Concrete with the Civil bunch. It has done more than anything else to break up the unity that we had previously enjoyed. After he had completed the course, it took the combined effort- of 1 ' hackery and Hartzler, our diplomatic o rps, ti i resti ire harmon) . Lack of space forbids that we should go far into detail in giving the per- sonnel of the class. But it is not possible for us to overlook the great career of 1. Fat Mel ' .ride. In justice to the department, we must give a personal j- Purple history, in as condensed a form as we can. Born on a farm in an obscure section of the country, reared on Mellin ' s food, he has become one of the leading men in the college. Look where you will, you will find ' ' Fat. He has risen successivel) through the rank- and in his last term of coll, he elected himself master yell leader. ' To oncoming classes, we point with pride u what a -elf-willed, masterful man can do. Our course has been -tiff. ( ne of the questions that we were required to answer our first term in school will give an idea of the questions. How would you determine the processional nutation of the equinoxes, by an observation on Delta Chameltniii-. at right ascension and lower elonga- tion, making the necessary corrections for parrallax aberration, refraction and the equation of time, making the observation in such a manner tha t all error due to eccentricity and other maladjustments of the instrument will be eliminated, when measuring the vertical angle between the vernal equin- octial colure and the almucantar through the left limb of the ecliptic? Ex- press the result in siderial time for the meridian at Greenwich. ' Of course, since then, the quizzes have grown harder, but we, too, have grown and are -bowing the essentials of good engineers. h Blecfcdcal Bn§ineeiina Department .THOUGH J. ( ). Hamilton, Professor of Physics, is nominal head of the Electrical Engineering Department. V. C. Lane is in direct charge of the work. Professor Lane graduated from Kansas State in [905 from the electrical en- gineering course. lie spent two year- with the Allis-Chalmers Company, returning to this College in [907 as an assistant 111 Physics. Since [908, lie ha- been with the Electrical Engineer- ing I epartment. Professor Lane is one of the best professors on the Hill, lie i- good-natured and patient, and was never known to lose hi- temper in the class room or laboratory. Carl Lane is assisted by G. B. McNair, a gradu- ate of Purdue. He came here from the Wagner Electric Company of St. Li mis. Electrical engineering is a comparatively new pro- fession, having been devel- oped commercially during the last quarter of a cen- tury. Only a few years ago. the science of electri- city and magnetism, upon which the operation of all electrical apparatus is based, consisted only of a few isolated fact-. The development of electrical engineering ha- consisted mainly in the development and applica- tion of the first few isolated facts com- bined with many more which are the resull of experimentation. No industry ha- taken more rapid strides in develop- ment than ha- the electrical industry in jl Purple the past twenty-five years. The development of our natural resources will in the future make it possible to electrify thousands of miles of our railroads. The inventions of the wireless telegraph and telephone have opened up a new field. In fact, the growth of the electrical industry has made it necessary for the course of study to be revised a number of times. Four years ago. the entrance require- ment- were raised and the courses were enlarged. New subjects were added, making it much better than before. Thus a step forward was taken, which, however, was not without its faults. The change made is the direct cause of this year ' ■ class being small. Many were forced to drop back on account of the change. Our loss is their gain. and therefore the class of 1915 will be large. 1914 over pieces of wire and nails, he suggests that these cars be designed with a large electro-magnet suspended just in front of each wheel. These would serve to collect the dangerous obstacles before the_ - could damage the tires. The diffi- culty would be to prevent itcollecting Ford roadsters. William Ross Smith was raised on a farm and has had consider- able experience with farming; perhaps that is why he took the electrical en- gineering course. He naturally sympa- thizes with the poor, down-trodden farmer, and entertains a deep desire t The class this year ha- five members. What we lack in number- i- made up in quality. The remaining five completed the work of the Junior year and came back in the fall, strong for the work of the Senior year, and have distingushed themselves in more ways than one.

With this idea in mind, Smith is working on a scheme to convert Kansas winds into electricity : si i as to enable the Kansas farmer to enjoy the com- fi irts i if city life. Harry Everett Butcher came from Solomon. Being strong for engineering practice, Butch has passed several of his summer vacations harvesting and threshing the golden grain. During his Senior year, he ha- specialized in Thermodynamics ( Ther- mo-D-Nonsense ), and steam applances. covering a choice part of the Mechanical Engineering course in addition to his electrical work. Laurence O ' Brien hails from Luray, Kansas, a place noted for it obscurity. He is the tallest, young- est, and most freckled member of the class and is the onlv member of the class that took the sub-freshman course at the College, oldest member of the class i- Peter Charles John Klauman.

Two of these are only part Mechanical, as the major part of their work i- in Chemical Engineering. It i- a wonder that as many are left as are after what we have been through. Trial- began in earnest in the Junior year when Rastus began assailing us with tree bodies until we began to get the idea. Next came our honored dean, whom we affectionately call Andy, or A square. He began telling us that : c, (p-d-we to the koppi equal- a coonstant), and other such things in Terms of damn nonsense (Thermodynamic- 1. And then we did work. days, night- and all the rest of the time. Things got so warm finally that we called a meeting out in the cool shadows of a building during chapel hour and organ- ized the O Club. O is the sym- bol representing entropy, one of 1914 rAL Purple heat. Only Andy and the devil really know what it means, and Andy ' s forgot- ten now. Since we have attained the honor of being called Seniors, we have not need- ed the O Club so much, so are trying to organize a Students ' branch of the A. S. M. E. in the College, The faculty have always been afraid that we will not get enough exercise. Two instances of this thoughtfulness have been espe- cially noticeable. During Christmas vacation of iir Junior year we carried on a boiler test, testing the results of treating coal in different ways. Then again this year we were assigned to shifts in the boiler room and engine room. Most of the boys took naturally to coal shoveling, and some are thinking of applying for per- manent jobs in the boiler room. Getting down to personalities. Knapp is an acquisition to our number this year, so we cannot be held responsible for his behavior, unless he is talking to a gas engine. We are indebted to him for our signal which we are always willing to demonstrate on request. Hutchinson has been keeping extra busy this year, so much to do that he has to do his sleeping in class i and he is only carrying sixteen hours, too). ' Hutch says that it was hard to get her to let him off even two nights to shovel coal in the boiler room. Moss is the athletic engineer. He wears a K sweater for good work in the football held. He is good-natured, but has worried so much about the rest of us that his hair is turning gray. Moss is planning on being the dean of Engineering next year. Baird, or Mr. Baird, as Andy calls him, is the one that has to stand Page H_ 1914 the jokes of the rest of the class, so he thinks that he ought to be left out here. Enough for him, to say that he expects to be a good engineer some ' lay if he can have his sister copy data and reports for him. Taylor is sometimes known as the songster. With his voice he charms laf, and scares some poor Freshman by yelling Hey Mister. The only fault with Bob ' s engineering i- that he spends too much time — not at the shops, but at the O ' ii-ervatorv. Royal Purple The two Youngs arc the chemists. They, in living up to their trade, make such an odor that we could not get near enough to write them up. Nearly all of the crowd are carrying on experiment- on the theory advanced by Andy in regard to the use of induced draft on the combustion of tobacco. So this is the role of honor, or the rogues ' gallery, as you please : George, Hutch. Jimmie, Bob, Knapp, Vic, and the Youngs. 1914 h R Royal Purple m pz Dean Williard =r 914 T F ' = jrr ' HE division of General Science is, in a way, different from every other V± division in the entire college. It is a course that is designed for those who do not care to specialize in some particular kind of work, although there are offered in General Science, several courses that make one an ex- pert in a chosen line, if he applies himself assiduously to his course. But as a rule, the students are choosing for their vocational subjects, electives that are offered in this department. In this way. it bears much the same relation as a liberal college education, but the degree of Bachelor of Science is given, in the place of Bachelor of Art-. It is impossible to give a review of all the professors that one meets here, because they are more numerous than in the technical lines. How- ever, there are a few whose names we shall always remember, and whose faces we shall never forget. There is the history department that is full of memory, and with it. that marvelous collection of facts and traditions that i- called Civics. It is impossible to forget the memories of such a course, long after the classified knowledge has become a part of our being, and we cannot say where we acquired it. There i- the department of laws that are -aid to be given in a condensed and simplified form, and never yet has a dispute arisen about the statement that they were condensed, yet a great deal of time has been -pent in discussing what an unsimplified law would be like. Skipping some minor detail- and coming to the head of the depart- I ' apc 147 fc Royal Purple ment, we pause to remark if you are in Prof Price ' s class, you are bound to take away some knowledge of history with you. The English department is one of the really big departments of College and the credit is due very largely to the head of the department. Professor Searson. He has received marked attention from leading educators the country over, and indeed, he is ranked with the forem i?t in his profession. It was he who started out to make the English language an interesting study. and he succeeded where others only attempted. In accordance with the vo- cational spirit of the school he has developed practical English to a point where it is not so reliant on rules of rhetoric, but more on the rule of com- mon sense, which after all is far above commonplace. This will probably come to him as a surprise, but a great many of the older students famil- iarly call him Jimmy, but of course, not when the professor is listening. He is foster-father of debate. In Economics and its allied group, the large portion of students of all the divisions come in contact with Professor Kammeyer, sometime during their college career. The fact that any student in school is unwilling to cut a class under him, is a high compliment to his interesting manner of conduct- ing classes and his personality. The head of the department of English Literature is Dean Brink. He has a characteristic slowness of speech that causes the lukewarm admirers of Literature to slumber one hour each day. but as an antidote for this, he has prepared a series of quizzes on Browning that is guaranteed to cure the most pronounced case of insomnia. A complete reading of Vanity Fair com- pletes the course. The departments of Zoology and Entomology are familiar to not only the college, but perhaps, even more well known to the State. Last summer, when the grasshoppers were ruining the crops and pastures in the western part of the state, it was Professor George A. Dean, of the Entomology de- partment, that went to the rescue of the stricken fields of Kansas. With his corps of assistants, he devised a famous poison for the crop destroyer- and demonstrated its use. It was effective and saved much money to the coun- try. For the past years, a great deal of the department ' s efforts have been directed against the chinch bug and the San Jose scale. This course of en- tomology is elected by many General Science students and they are making The department of Journalism has as its aim. the teaching of its stu- dents to write in an interesting and entertaining manner. For the greater 1914 part of the year, Harlan D. Smith was instructor in charge. However, he was forced to resign late in the year on account of failing health, and Pro- fessor N. A. Crawford assumed charge. The Industrialist, a weekly paper published by the department, furnishes the students an opportunity for writ- ing farm stories. The Industrialist is one of the best farm papers in tin- state and always contains much first-hand information. Students complet- ing the course are granted the degrees of a Bachelor of Science in Jour- nalis m. It is impossible to go into detail concerning all the departments and the men that the students in General Science meet, and it is quite impossible to not mention the department of Chemistry. Dean Williard, dean of the di- vision of General Science, is the head of the department. A large corps of assistants prevents giving some interesting detail. The same is true of the Physics department, where Professor Hamilton presides. The professor is actively connected with student affairs, especially the social end of it. He has first-hand data on the dance problem, and without doubt thinks more ab ' in dates than any other man on the hill, that being his business to regu- late the same. Passing from the faculty to the students, there is a great deal to say about the students who work under the faculty that has just been mentioned. Alphabetically speaking. J. Gordon Auld is at the beginning of th e list. He is the original founder of the Beak and Sail Club. having been unani- mously chosen by the eligibles to the highest honors. He spends a great deal of his time learning to be a credit to the Milling Industry, which might seem strange to one unfamiliar with the institution, when it was stated at the out- set that this division of General Science is something like a liberal arts edu- cation, but to those conversant with the facts, it will be seen that he merely chose to be a miller in the place of something else. Take, for instance, ' William Marshall, a man of this division and graduating this year, will go into the ministry, while Xellie Reed gm into foreign missionary work. Over on the other side of the list. William Sumner receives a degree in Industrial Journalism. He already has interests in a paper out west. If he keeps up his college reputation. William will dispense with graft in all form. He hate- it. It keeps him awake all night to think of it, and he keeps the resi of lis awake for a week, telling about it. Fay Buck has the distinction of being the shortest Senior in ieneral Science. He has taken the Economic group throughout the four years and keeps to himself, what he intends to do. lolm L. Hutchinson, whose smile appears in the Allium, chose to be a chemist. For the past two years, the main part of the presenl Senior class l Purple have seen but little of is activities. In presenting Harry Baird, the General Science bunch puts forth the best of its efforts to produce a Beau Brummel and exponent of society. While the Seniors have never been held together as have some of the other classes, the pride is of a genuine nature in seeing Harry keep up the reputation. Further comment would weaken our pride. Speaking of pride in accomplishments, other than taking honors, Henry Dresser leaps into the limelight. Henry has more ability in choosing a snap course than any man on the hill. He spent the greater part of his time in athletic-, and was the -tar man on the baseball team. Leslie Collins donned a track suit in his Sophomore year and made his letter the first race he ever ran in intercollegiate competition. No one ever knew him to recite or flunk, although it is quite possible that he may have done both. In closing, the General Science Seniors of the Class of 1914 do not brag of the things that they have accomplished. They view them with a par- donable pride. The widespread range of classes have kept them separated, but there is one great leveler that has made them all friend-. Any person who has been called before the Dean to give reason why he cut so many classes feels the same for the others who have suffered in like manner. 1914 . College Extension Bepartment ' oyal Purple - 1914 Ji ' FP ' O the farmers of Kansas, the College Extension Division is bet- £± ter known by far than to the regular students enrolled at the I ollege. The work of the students does not often come in range with the regularly enrolled students, although in some cases there are ex- ceptions to the rule. The Extension Department is the means of bringing many a good student to study the science of Agriculture, Engineering or Domestic Science and Art. The movable schools that go out over the state, the trains showing the better methods of stock raising, of tilling the soil and the uncountable thing- that they do teach interest the farmer boys and girls. There is nothing superficial about such an interest, and when they are enrolled in regular courses they are students who go to the bottom of every problem of how to make the farm a better place on which to live. Over twenty persons work with the department, teaching, lectur- ing and directing. The following excerpt from the College catalogue cannot be improved on in telling the Extension story: The many developments of the extension work made it neces- sary, in the judgment of the Board of Regents, to create in December. 101- ' . the Division of College Extension, consisting of four distinct sections — the Department of Farmers ' Institutes and Demonstrations, the Department of Highway Engineering and Irrigation, the Depart- ment of Home Economics, and the Department of Correspondence- Study — each with its own head and staff; the Board of Regents made the Director of Extension, Dean of the Division of College Extension. The principal value of the Agricultural College, as a teaching fac- tor, must be in the training it is able to give to the young people who enter upon and continue through its courses of study, in residence. rhe Agricultural Experiment Station, as a neutral adjunct to the (ol- lege, has its great field in the discovery of new truths relating to agri- culture. So long, however, as the institution limits its efforts to these line-, it i- evident that only a small proportion of the people of a state can derive direct and practical benefit from the work of the Col- lege. The progress of agricultural education would be slow indeed i Agricultural College did not offer other form- of instruction to Royal Purple the people of the State. The same economic principle that justified the expenditure of public funds for educating young people who are able to attend the College justifies a similar expenditure for the purpose of taking the College to those who are not able to come to it. State education is not philanthropy, but self -protection — foresight. An edu- cated citizenship is a prosperous citizenship. The Kansas State Agri- cultural College, through its several lines of extension, conducted meet- ings during the year ending June 30, 1912, with an aggregate attend- ance of 349,967 people — more than one-fifth of the population of the State. While this work is directed by the Division of College Extension, the scope would be very limited were it not for the co-operation of the other divisions and departments of the College in supplying speakers for institutes, assistants in various lines of demonstration work, teach- ers for movable schools, and wise counsel in the various lines of public effort. =jm 5= i h frsN RDIXARILY, the summer months are unpleasant times, if one V y i- forced to prepare lessons for a next day ' .- class. That was the report that many of those who remained in Manhattan during the last summer session made, but nevertheless, the summer school con- tinues to operate with many students enrolling in spite of the heat. The summer school is particularly well adapted for teacher- who wish to take vocational work during the summer months, but as col- lege credits may he obtained, it is also well adapted for those unfor- tunate students who are not up with their courses, and it is very popu- lar with them. The work covers a large portion of the courses that are taught during the regular session, such as Domestic Science, Agriculture ami Mechanic Arts. This makes it possible for teachers to select such work as will aid them in their teaching and allows regular students to sup- plement their courses in many instance-. The swimming pool i- a favorite spot during this session for both in-tructor- and students. According to those who were in attendance in [913, the pool was the one oasis that made studying possible when the heat started the thermometer on its upward climb. Royal Purple Dean Brink - , 1914 t - Organized v.n;. This is an organization of the graduate students at Kansas State Agricultural College, for the purpose of promoting inter- est in graduate work, to further fellowship among graduate students, and to bring them into a closer relationship with the faculty. We believe the graduate students should be recognized, as such, and that more prominence be attached to the graduate school in this institution. It is our aim to assist graduate students in planning their courses, and in obtaining the same. Tlie Graduate Students mr W. A. Buck L. P.

The first meeting was a great success, and on the sixth of November the club was founded, the members of the club to have all the privileges of the range with all of the ammunition that they wished and regulation army rifles. The first elimination trials were shot during November, and the club was admitted to the National Rifle Association during the same month. This meant that the Kansas State rifle team would have the privilege of shooting against teams of their class all over the United States from Pennsylvania to Oregon. The Kansas State team finished fourth out of a field of ten contestants, which was doing exceedinglv well for a team that had never shot against another team before this vear. The club has been very fortunate in procuring three fine cups to be con- tested for by members of the club. One of these, a large silver cup. was presented by Governor Hodges; another silver loving-cup with gold lining and large horn handles was presented by the Henderson-Ames Uniform Company, and the third cup was presented by Brigadier General Metcalf of the United States Army. These cups will be inscribed each year with the name of the winner, the score that he makes and the year that he makes the score. The men in the corps are taking quite an interest in the rifle work, as was shown when the club organized with something over 140 members. The members of the team will try for qualification in the National Rifle Associa- tion this spring, and it is thought that quite a few of the men will make these qualifications as this is one of the high honors of the Association.

LEVINE Yell I.i ' r Mr. Sauders L a.l Purple I of Ibe 14s © EIXG fully conscious of an existence which is about to terminate, and the dissemination of this body as a phy- sical entity, we deem it necessary to make preparations accordingly. Realizing that the disposal of numerous gifts and offices lies within our power, and realizing that such disposition should be made, we, The Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four- teen, being of sane and unprejudiced minds, do make this, our Last Will and Testament, wish and choice of all things named hereinafter. (1) After long and mature deliberation, we give and bequeath the office of ' Best Student to that peerless class favorite and quizz eater, Bill Sweet. In making this decision, it has been after a long and careful investigation of records, and action taken on a number of individuals who might have had rights to be so named, but the ability of a man to make honor grades and look after a case at the same time, compels us to reach our decision. Fully appreciating the rights of Alpha Zeta to a claim to said honors, we concede their demand as of some consequence, but owing to the fact that the major- ity of their members are from the under classes, they must not pre- cede Alma Halbower, who was never asked to join, purely on account of spite work as it would seem. And in case the above named should not be able to receive said honors, the same are to descend to Swede Pearson and Bob Hood, in order named. (2) We give and bequeath to that exponent of manly beauty, A. Doryland, the office of Handsomest Man, who, by all fair-minded persons, is best adjudged to fill that position with all the honor and trust that may go with same; and we also bequeath to the person named, the right to defend his title by any means that he may choose from any attack or litigation that may be brought by Stub Stockwell. The irregular attendance of Frank Sidorfsky at class has prevented his name from having the fullest consideration that it might have had. In case of default of any kind, the above office shall be declared vacant, we designate that the following shall succeed to same in the order named: Harry Baird, Pinky Gwin, Jack Gist and Don McCallum. (3) For the office of Shrewdest Politician there is a large field from which to choose. But owing to the handicap under which he has worked and owing to the many reforms that he has accom- plished, the same shall go to Harry M. Zeigler. And furthermore, on account of his estimable work in raising the entrance requirements of this institution and changing the name of the same, not to mention the fact of running the college sheet with honor and credit, and also owing to the splendid deeds he has done to keep Tau Omega Sigma -tJz intact, in case the above named shall not be in school at the time of graduation on account of the Council of Deans, the President and the Board of Administration, the office shall be declared vacant and the interior of Anderson Hall shall be painted jet black and so remain for a period of thirty days. Cecil Haines and Jack Tagge have been eliminated for the vacillating: position that they took with reference to the Senior Swing, and forfeit their rights to William Curry, who has shown marked political tendencies to get on the winning side after he has lost an election. (4) The honorary medal of Best Bluffer is hereby bestowed upon Stony Lee Potter, whose efforts to succeed in his chosen line have been unparalleled in the history of Kansas State. Honorable Mention must be given to Tom Boice on account of the success that he has made along these lines. While outstripping Stony in attempts, his efforts were not rewarded with the same uniform results as have been those of the first named, and for this reason, Boice must be given the secondary honors of polishing said medal. (5) On account of his natural ability and fitness for the same, the office of the Most Persistent Fusser is hereby given to J. B. Adams. His work along research lines is of a thoroughly scientific nature and shows many scholarly hours spent in determining the methods and effects of this popular divertisement. We have not overlooked the capabilities of Nob Hutchinson, and hereby appoint him as first assistant to the first named. (6) Any other offices of profit and trust are to be given to mem- bers in the Junior class who shall have shown ability to so handle such offices. (Signed) Class of 1914. Purple ■ j m. ONG ago a Junior boy hid behind a pile of boxes in 71 the basement of Anderson Hall, late one afternoon in the spring- of 1909. That was in the days before the College had a night watchman, and this Junior boy was planning a little innocent recreation. After dark he came from his hiding-place and climbed out through a window at the southwest corner of the building. Later in the night he and six other Junior boys ■ climbed through this open window, into what was | then Miss Rice ' s classroom. Yes, this was the bunch that took the College Clock. The picture is what was left of the clock when the boys got through with it. They did not leave such a great deal. Two boys were stationed at the south door, to guard against a surprise. The assistant janitor J3 usually slept in a room at the north end of this building, so two more of this bold party stood out- side his door ready to fall on his neck if he should come out. It happened, however, that the assistant janitor was not in his room that night. This lessened the excitement, but increased the safety of everyone concerned. The clock hung on the wall above where the drinking fountain now stands, in Anderson. One boy climbed up and pried the old clock loose. The other two stood below and tried to catch it when it fell. There wasn ' t very much light, and the old clock was big and heavy and up in the air about twelve feet, so there was no catching it. When it finally came down it hit the floor with a crash that broke its face and knocked off its top. The heroes of this party did not linger for long after this. They carried the clock out through the south door. They hurried it down to the City Park. They brought it through Professor Dickens ' back yard and up alley to the Co-Op corner. Here they rested and de- cided what they should do with it, now that they had it. They distributed the works among themselves, and hung the empty case on the light wires at the Co-Op corner. Early in the morning two other boys discovered it there and took it away. They put it in a cellar, not far from the corner where they found it, and it has been collecting cobwebs there ever since. It has been out of the cellar only once since the morning it dangled from the light wires; that was the afternoon of May 21, 1913, when it had its picture taken. No, it would not do to give the names of the naughty members of the ' 10 class who did all this, because some of them have become quite respectable, and are trying to lead lives that are full of dignity. - , 1914 J JUNIORS al Purple Albert W.

We will not irag. vet there are a few things that we should tell you. m That Fresh nut 1, Hat ? y Officers for Full Term Freshmen caps had been discussed and agitated by the upper-class for several years, but it remained for the Class of 1916 to make the caps a reality. One spring morning the Freshmen, led by Professor King, marched dutifully to chapel, each adorned with a lettuce leaf creation of millinery. The Class of 1916 is not one to take dictation from anyone, hut when it comes to showing spirit voluntarily and spontaneously, we are right there. The class is active in oratory and debate, placing one member in the first division of the oratorical contest of last year, and two representatives in this year ' - contest. In the preliminary debates thi year the Sophomores placed five member-. Our prophesy in last year ' s Royal Purple that we would take the championships in baseball and track has been fulfilled. We will furnish Royal Purple Officers for Winter Term most of the Varsity track material for this year. In last year ' s baseball we furnished a Varsity pitcher and several of our class-mates made the squad. In the interclass football this term our men showed up well. One Sophomore made a reputation as one of the best fullbacks in the Valley. We have furnished several of this year ' s Varsity basketball men. The class is well represented in the military department, especially among the officers. Almost half of the college rifle team is composed of Sophomores, and the success that the team attained this year is due largely to them. Socially, we are a jolly bunch. At the Freshman hike last spring some difficulty was experienced in finding a chaperone, but after kidnaping Professor Hughes, the hike was a great success. 1914 PLE 1 The Write-Up Committe The Sophomore class dance that was given on March 20th was con- sidered one of the most brilliant and successful social events of the winter term. We have had very spirited class meetings, and cordially invite all members of the Class of [916 to them, as they will continue to increase in class -j irit and enthu- siasm all of next year.

This requirement places the stand- scholarship mi an equality with other colleges and univer- sities of Kansas. The Freshmen have school spirit, and are- great supporters e f athletics. The improvement in rooting at the athletic contests can he explained only by the fact that the high school graduates have had experience in united cheering. Our football team was weak because of misunderstandings as to who was eligible. In basketball there were more than fifty candidates for positions. From these a squad of eighteen was chosen for the Freshman Varsity. The team is exceptionally strong, having out- scored the Varsity in several practice games. Several of our men, when in high schools, made enviable track records, which they are expecting to duplicate here in College. The Freshmen are taking an active part in the literary activities of the College. Sixty-eight have joined literary societes. There are one hundred seventy-six girls enrolled in the Home Economics Course. Many take an active part in literary societies and athletics. The girls have organized a basketball team, and promise some good work. During the fall term a steak roast was held at Wildcat. and even the stags ' ' enjoyed themselves. L RPLE 914 Page 281 Royal Purple tianlta With this volume of the Royal Purple the School of Agriculture makes its debut as a department of the College. It was organized during the summer of 1913, with Professor H. L. Kent of the depart- ment of Education as Principal, and Miss Ada Rice of the depart- ment of English as Assistant Prin- cipal in charge of the girls of the school. The first session opened September nineteenth with an en- rollment of five hundred and sixty- five students. The School fills a unique place in the educational world, inasmuch as it is not intended as a substitute for a high school, nor is it intended as a preparatory school for the College; but it is a vocational school for young men and women who do not wish to spend four years in college, and yet who wish to take work beyond the eighth grade that will make them more efficient workers and producers. For such students courses are offered in those branches of the arts and sciences that are close to the work of the farms, the homes, and the work-shops of Kansas. The School has at its disposal the use of the one-and-a-half- million-dollar equipment of the Ag- ricultural College, and its courses are under the supervision of the heads of departments of the College. Thus the students have the rare privilege of gaining a practical education, and at the same time of coming in touch with an institution of higher learning. During the fall term, the work of organization began in earnest. Classes were formed, a football team was trained by a special coach, and three literary societies were organized. The following brief facts will indicate what has been done to establish the School of Agriculture as a separate institution. 1914 Rcr On October 27. 1913, twenty-seven young men met at the Y. M. C. A. building and organized the Lincoln Literary Society. A constitution was soon drawn up and adopted, and the Society started to work in earnest. The girls in the School of Agriculture organized the Philomathian Society, and the Lincoln and Philo- mathian Societies became brother and sister societies. The Lincoln Society has progressed very rapidly since its organization, and there is no doubt but that more will be heard of it in the future.

We are representative in fact as well as in name. One of our favorite pursuits is the discussion of ques- tions of public interest, for true to our name, we are most interested in those questions. It is our aim to develop ourselves into strong men, fitted to contend with and overcome the difficulties that may confront us. We look forward to the future with bright hopes.

All were satisfied with the progress made, and we are not ashamed to place our record beside that of the Varsity.

About three weeks after Christmas the Athletic Association voted for a team to represent the School of Agriculture, and Pete McNall was appointed coach. About fifty candidates were out for the team, but this number was soon reduced, under the supervision of Coach McNall, to the present squad. The schedule was light, as games were arranged late in the season. The first game was played with Quigley ' s team of St. Mary ' s College. Other games on the sched- ule were with Clay Center, Salina Wesleyan, Wamego, and Dickenson County High School. The squad was under the leadership of Dutch Scheufler. LINE-UP Forwards Capt. E. E.

Manker 1914 [p Royal Purple Page 1914 Royal Purple Akti© THE school year 1913-14 marks the entrance of the Kansas State Agricultural College into the Missouri Valley Conference. Many times our teams have competed with schools of that Conference, but never before this year have we been given consideration in the championship contests. This is a great step — this entrance into the higher conference and ath- letics at K. S. A. C. is on the boom. True we have not eclipsed the older conference schools with the brilliancy of our athletic stars, but we have been able to hold our own and have shown ourselves to be a force to be reckoned with. With our ever increasing enrollment, the placing of the entrance requirements at 15 credits, and the holding of the Annual State High School Track and Field meet at Alumni Field, the outlook for the future athletics at K. S. A. C. is very bright. Athletics at this school are under the direct control of the Athletic Board. This board consists of one member chosen from each of the three upper classes; three members of the faculty, including the director of athletics; and President Waters, ex- officio chairman. The members for the current year are Guy S. Lowman, director of athletics, Prof. J. O. Hamilton and Harry E. Porter of the faculty; W. D. Cusic, senior; A. L. Marble, junior; and George Bailey, sophomore. This board is the court of last resort in all athletic matters at this school. Their most sacred duty is to see that no man who has participated in athletics in the middle ages be permitted to wear an Aggie uniform. They also award the official K to each man deserving the letter at the end of the seasons. These, and such minor questions as come up for settlement during the year form the principal duties of the Athletic Board. _L91J- = =a Football F. H. Loomis (C. ' 13) A. L. BURKHOLDER W. P.

During this time, besides being Professor of Physical Training and Director of Athletics, he has, until this last year, coached football, basketball and baseball. During these two years he has turned out some great athletic teams. Mr. Lowman has practi- cally organized the Athletic Department at this school and given it the firm foundation on which it now stands. Mr. Lowman came to us the year we first occupied the new gymnasium, and since that time athletics have steadily gained stronger support until this last basketball season, when we ended the season second of the Missouri Valley teams. Before coming to Kansas, Mr. Lowman coached the athletic teams of Alabama Univer- sity, Missouri University, and Warrensburg Normal School. This past year Mr. Lowman has been assist- ed by Carl J. Merner. Merner assisted with the 1913 football team, having charge of the back field. He was given complete charge of the basketball and track teams, Lowman retaining charge of football and baseball, and he has turned out one of the most successful basketball teams we have ever had here. The track team promises ' success.

On September 15, at the call of Coach Guy S. ■ | Lowman, fifty stalwart candidates reported for the long, gruelling- grind M that is the lot of every gridiron man. These men served to introduce two additions to Kansas State, our new Assistant Coach Carl J. Merner, and our first Missouri Valley Conference team. The quantity of coaches was totally inade- quate to handle the great number of men who reported for the Varsity and Freshman teams, but the quality of our instructors could not be beaten. Prospects for a good team were promising in some spots and very gloomy in others. The line was heavy and composed of veterans, but the backfield, with two or three ex- ceptions, was an unknown quantity. The two most glaring weaknesses were in the kicking and quarterback departments. The season opened October 3 with the usual game with Southwestern. The first half was all in favor of the Aggies, ending with a score of 10 to 0. However, in the last period, injuries and costly penalties, together with the disappointing work of the line, which proved unable to stop the fast charging Moundbuilders, cost us the game, the Winfield school winning 13 to 10. At 2 A. M. on the next Saturday morning the team left via the Rock Island for Lincoln to meet Jumbo Sthiem ' s proteges. In the first part of the game, the Com- huskers ' star backfield was thrown for losses and their line ripped to pieces, the first touchdown of the game being scored by the Aggies in the early part of the second quarter. In the third quarter Sthiem sent in a fresh backfield, a quartette every bit the equal of the first, and then the long, hard trip told on Kansas State. Nebraska circled the ends with great regularity, winning with a final score of 24 to 6. As is the usual case, after the Nebraska defeat the team got together and played one of its best games during the next contest with the Kansas State Normals. In a monotonous and uninteresting game from the spectators viewpoint, the Teachers were trampled into the mud to the tune of 33 to 0. During the following week, most of the team blossomed out as prophets and orators at the pep meeting held in preparation for that game of all games, the battle with our greatest rival, Kansas University. The game was the repetition of the same old story, K. U. playing the best game of her season, with the Aggies floundering around in bewilderment until the game is lost. K. U. outplayed us in every way and went home with the long end of the heartbreaking score of 26 to 0. This defeat seemed to have taken all of the pep out of Kansas State and the follow- ing contest with Fairmount was a farce. The Wheatshockers, with the exception of one end who starred at hooking forward passes out of the air, were completely out- - , 1914 j - ROY; classed but, owing to the listlessness of the Aggies, held the final count against them to 30 to 6, a score which should easily have been doubled. To every action there is a reaction. The team came back on November 8 against Texas A. and M. and played a great game. For the first time during the season they had the final punch, advancing 80 yards on straight football and scoring on a forward pass in the last few minutes of play, making the score 12 to against the Southerners. One week later we left for Austin to clash with the Texas Longhorns. Arriving there, we were greeted with a big rain and a temperature of 102 degrees in the shade. The program consisted of a workout on Monday afternoon which resolved into a contest of determining who had the highest melting point. The game was played Tuesday in a downpour of rain before a large crowd. Texas University came up to her advance notices in fine shape and smothered us with a lop-sided score of 46 to 0. They had a wonderful team and staged several circus stunts for our enjoyment. The Aggies, though outclassed, put up a game fight which brought admiration from the Texas team and its supporters. We were a sorry looking bunch after the game, and about the only ray of light was Coach Lowman ' s quotation, Well, it cost them sixteen hundred dollars to do it anyway. We received a generous portion of that famed Southern hospitality in the form of a fine banquet for the two teams, given that evening by the Athletic Association. What will probably be the last Turkey Day contest for Kansas State for years to come, was fought at Topeka with Washburn College. The day was ideal and the teams were evenly matched. Heavy penalties in the early part of the game kept the Aggies from scoring, and the first half ended to 0. Neither side had the advantage in the third period, but in the early part of the last quarter a Washburn substitute slipped through for a touchdown and his team-mate missed an easy goal. The Aggies came back with a vengeance and by a series of wonderful charges punched across the Ichabods ' goal line. The punt-out was poor, with a result that goal was missed and the game ended in a few minutes a tie, 6 to 6. The success of the season depends upon the viewpoint from which it is judged. If judged from the team standing it was a failure, for the number of defeats overbal- anced the list of victories. But, if judged from the standpoint of development of good men for next year, scarcity of injuries, and general benefits to those interested, it was a success. The team was slow in getting together and did not show its real form until near the end of the season. The main strength in attack was bucking the line, with mediocre success in the use of the forward pass. The team defense did not measure up to that of former years. Six veterans of this year ' s squad, with one exception all line men, have finished their football career. Their places will be hard to fill, but there is some great material at hand, and under the able captaincy of Red Agnew, the Aggies should have a win- ning team in 1914.

McCallur, Royal Purple Captain Frederick Herbert Loomis is a product of Alton, Kansas. Cap, as he is generally known to the Aggie following, closed his foot- ball career at K. S. A. C. when the final whistle was blown at Topeka last Turkey Day. Prof. H. H. King started the husky 1913 leader on his football career when Cap played right tackle on the 1910 scrubs. With the coming of Coach Lowman, Cap was placed opposite Big Jake Holmes, where he played for three seasons. Always a hard fighter and a mountain on defence, Loomis will be greatly missed when the 1914 team lines up for the start of the season. Arthur Burkholder played his third and last year on the Aggie Varsity last season. With his massive, yet well carried weight, and unsurpassed knowledge of how the game ought to be played, Burk earned and received the honorary guard position on the All-Missouri Valley team for 1913. Trouble with weak ankles hindered Lil Arthur from making the trip to Texas, but his classy work against the Washburn eleven earned a tie score for the Aggies. « Lawrence Paul Wehrle, alias Big Bill, team-mated with Burkholder during the 1911, 1912, and 1913 seasons. Wehrle played his first football on Mike Ahearn ' s scrub eleven in 1910 and appeared first as a regular lineman during the first season of the Lowman regime. Big Bill will be missed greatly by the 1914 team, owing to the steady hard fighting brand of football that marked every contest in which he participated. Raymond Schafer drew a suit in 1911 and went out to practice with the foot- ball squad for the exercise that might be derived. He had not played football in high school, but picked up the fine points of the gridiron game in a hurry and was awarded his letter at the end of the sea- son on his showing at right end. Scha- fer ' s long suit was smashing interference and showed at his best in the 1913 con- test with the Cornhuskers. He served his time out at the end of last season. - v 1914 f Frank Siderfsky played his farewell game on the Kansas Aggie Varsity against the Washburnites. The Russian eclipsed all on the 1913 squad as a speed merchant. Around the ends for a few chalk lines was this player ' s best stunt. Sid played great football for the Aggies during his three years of service, although at all times his lack of weight proved a severe handicap. JlMMIE Moss ranked second to Dresser in weight on the 1913 varsity squad but second to none as a fighter. Jim started his career with Prather and was the hardest hitting end on the varsity during his three years of service. Injur- ies forced his removal from the Washburn battle on Turkey Day, but his playing while in that game will be remembered by all who witnessed the frav. Merrill Elswotrh Agnew, Captain-elect of the 1914 Varsity, earned that position by consistent team play throughout the 1913 season. A clever kicker and forward passer and a speedy man to skirt the ends, and best of all a fighter all the way. Red should aid the coaching staff materially in putting one of the best football teams in the field in 1914 that the Aggies have had for years. His punting ability was unearthed in the game against the Texas Long- horns, and in the Washburn game was well above par. Handicapped many times throughout the sea- son by injuries, Bill Cusic proved himself a capable lineman for a second letter on the varsity last season. Cusic was adaptable to either of the guard positions and was recognized and remem- bered as a hard fighter by every opposing team t hiit he faced. oyal Purple Archie Marble started his football career at Salina Westleyan and later played on the Man- kato High School team. He played his first year on the Kansas Aggie Varsity, alternating with Holmes at left guard, during the 1912 season, and playing as a regular in 1913. Marble was the heftiest man on the squad and during the fina few minutes of play of the Fairmount game showed up well in the fullback position. When the 1913 football letter men were announced, the Kansas Aggie following was more than pleased to note that Alfred Byarley had drawn one of the coveted letters. Byarley tried out for the varsity eleven four consecutive seasons and by clever work in a number of the 1913 contests earned his K. Byarley was seen at his best in getting down under punts and at smashing interference. Lefty Cleland won his letter in football last fall, through his ability to raise the stands with thrilling runs through broken fields and around the ends. Cleland played his time out in baseball and loses another chance at the gridiron game next fall. In the Washburn game his speed aided the Aggie eleven materially in shoving over the fourth quarter touchdown that tied up the score. Hank Dresser played his first and last year on the Varsity during the 1913 season. Dresser alternated with Haymaker at quarter and staged a clever exhibition of the gridiron game at Topeka in his farewell appearance. He started the Texas U. fray, but was not sure whether he was playing football or a quiet game of seven-up after a husky Southerner had crashed into him, and Haymaker was sent to the rescue. A persistent charley horse and a goodly field of can- didates for the fullback position kept Nicholas Enns out of several gridiron battles during his first season on the Varsity. Nick scored the Aggie touchdown against the Cornhuskers and displayed a wonderful am ount of defen- sive knowledge throughout the games in which he partici- pated. Nick ' s speed and his power to assimilate pun- ishment won goodly press comment during the season. 1914 R( Fred Hartwig, following- in the footsteps of the family, tried out for the 1913 varsity and made good. He alternated with Enns at the fullback position until laid out at mid-season, and although not as hefty as many of the opposing fullbacks, he proved a mighty line-smasher and plunging through the massive Burk- holder scored the Aggie touchdown, at Topeka, by sev- eral inches. Hartwig has two more years of varsity service. William Haucke was introduced to the Aggie football followers after the first half of the varsity schedule had been played. With the injuries of Hartwig and Enns keeping these two fullbacks on the sidelines, Haucke entered the field and played great football. His line plunging was of the Prather order, and although green at the game his improve- ment was rapid and the 1914 varsity is insured of a capable player. Playing end on the Fairmount College team in 1911 and quarter- ing the 1914 class team to the class championship in the 1912 series fitted Haymaker out as pilot for the 1913 Varsity, where he alternated with Dresser through the season. His drop kicking and forward passing showed up well in the class games, but the oportunities for kicks from the field were few during the 1913 season. Scanlon was known among the football players as the most desperate fighter on the squad. He played center during the last half of the season and it was owing only to this fact perhaps that he did not make the All- Kansas team. His first big exhibition came at Houston, Texas, against the University of Texas team, and by consistent playing he earned a steady job at the pivot position. Frank Root alternated with Moss on the end of the line during the 1913 season and played particularly well. When Root replaced the crip- pled Jeems at Topeka last Thanksgiving Day. the Washburn backs refused to carry the ball -J _ around his end. In 1912 Root smashed a shoulder t_ early in the year and was out of the game throughout the entire season. He came back in basketball and track and won the title of besl all-around athlete and two letters during the remainder of the year. Frank captained the 191 1 basketball squad and starred in every game. rAL Purple •Mlti ' 1 Page 302 -P ,014 - BASKET BMtL Royal Purple n] Coach) Mcllratk Lcanord Ben Thomas Merner (Coach) Adams Broberg Root Shull Jones -,_i9i4_3_ F. P. Root, Captain HE basketball squad was called out for practice about the middle of November by Captain Souders, and there was considerable good material showed up in the way of goal shooters. The pre-season workout was efficient, and things looked pretty fair for a good fast team, although the average weight was, as has been the rule with the basketball team, pretty light. There were six letter men out for practice, and all went well until Captain Souders was declared ineligible by the Missouri :i I li • t ' mi I ' m vinv Kuh- ( ' mniiii ttee and Spin Young had to quit because of his heavy school work. The loss of these two took the captain (center) and a likely goal shooting guard from the field of activity. Souders ' team-work and goal shooting the year before were conceded by many of the game followers to be of the top-notch quality, and his loss both as player and captain was a very keenly felt disappointment to the team and its supporters, but it was only one of the many things that have happened to our athletics due to the changing from an inferior conference to a faster and better one, i. e., from the Kansas Conference to the Missouri Valley Conference. The squad had competent and efficient coaching on the fundamentals of the game for a time, then they began to have try-out scrimmages, and the day before the first game of the season F. P. Root was elected captain to take Captain Souders ' place, due to the ineligibility of the latter. And on January 9th the season was opened with Ames. CLIPPINGS FROM THE KANSAS AGGIE The Kansas Aggies inaugurated their entrance into Missouri Valley basketball by defeating the Ames Aggies 19 to 7. The game was marred by rough work on the part of both teams. Iowa State quintet nosed out an 18 to 14 victory. The Kansas State basketball five defeated the Southwestern aggregation on the Nichols court Thursday night, 46 to 38. The Kansas State five lost the first game of the Kansas University series to the Kansas team on the Nichols court Thursday night, 44 to 26. The Kansas team proved too fast for the Merner troupe and ran away from the locals in the final period. The Kansas State basketball five took the first fall of the 1914 season out of the Kansas University five on Nichols court last night, 29 to 25. This is the first defeat for Bill Hamilton ' s five and puts the Kansas State five in the Missouri Valley rating with a percentage of .500. The contest was by far the best that has been staged on the Nichols court this season and was marked by the old fight throughout. The Merner quintet lost to the Washburn basketball five, 27 to 19, on Nichols court last night. Washburn was outplayed on the floor, but excelled in the goal shooting department. A bleacher Hawkshaw unearthed the difficulty with the Kansas Staters by explaining to his neighbors all about the trouble the locals were having in locating the basket, although in reality there was no visible need of a magnifying glass to discern the weakness. Page 306 l Purple The University of Kansas basketball team defeated the Kansas State five on the Robinson court tonight by a final score of 28 to 24. The game was sluggish throughout and marked by roughness. In the last game of the series with Kansas University, the Kansas Staters lost three men and were unable to stave off defeat. The score was 41 to 16. The Kansas State basketball team defeated the Emporia Normals on the Nichols court last night, 40 to 15. The contest was the cleanest that has been played on the local floor this season, and was characterized throughout by the efficient work of Referee Quigley. The Kansas State basketball five lost to Washburn on the Topeka team ' s court last Saturday night by a final score of 24 to 28. At the end of the allotted forty min- utes of play the score was tied at 24 all, and in the extra five minutes of play the Ichabods tossed in two baskets which won the game. The Kansas State basketball team played well against the Haskell Indians last Wednesday night and scalped the Braves by a final count of 49 to 30. The game was as fine an exhibition of the indoor sport as has been staged in Nichols this season. Five minutes of over-time were required last night to decide the basketball game between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas State teams. The Kansans made three points in this period and won by a score of 35 to 32. It must be said that the Kansans were playing pretty good basketball to come back as they did from under a 21 to 12 lead in favor of Missouri, in the last part of the second game, and win by a score of 22 to 21. After winning two straight games from the Missouri University basketball squad, capturing each contest by a sensational finish, the Kansas State team met its master at the Washington University gymnasium Friday night, the Myrtle and Maroon five taking an exciting contest by the close score of 20 to 17. The second Washington game: Although Washington University basketeers made a sensational finish to regain the lead in a game apparently lost, they were unable to push ahead and the Kansas State five won the second game of the two-game series by the close score of 22 to 21. The Kansas State basketball team cinched second place in the Missouri Valley basketball championship by defeating the Missouri Tigers, 32 to 20, on the Nichols court last night. The Kansas State basketball team shoved the University of Missouri five one notch further into the mire of the Missouri Valley standing last Saturday night, when they defeated the Tigers, 34 to 23.

This was followed two weeks later by the call for all outfielders and infielders to report for practice. The snow held late and the opportunity for outdoor work was not forthcoming until just one week before the first game. Time was improved, however, by bunting practice, infield workouts, and lectures in the gymnasium. Prospects were very bright, for with both pitchers, a catcher, three infielders, and three outfielders of the 1912 team working out, it seemed that we were due for a winning team. The season opened April 4th with only three days ' outdoor practice, but the College of Emporia was swamped under a 19-3 score. The coach made use of the game to try out many newplayers. April 7th, the only extra-inning game of the season was played on a very muddy field. This time the Warrensburg Normals were the victims, by a score of 8-7, the Aggies winning in the tenth inning. Missouri University came for two games, April 10-11, but neither game could be played, because of frequent showers. One inning of the first game was played, in which nine Aggies batted, only one of whom lowered hi- bat- ting average. Three runs were scored, but at this stage of the game, rain interfered. Four games were played the following week. We took K. S. N. on, 10-8. but lost the game the next day to the fast Chinese University team of Honolulu, by the score of 7-3. Nebraska divided two games with us on April 18-19. winning the first 5-4 and losing the second 6-4. The following week we took the first trip of the season, leaving at noon, April 27th, for Columbia, Mo., to play two games with the Tigers. We were humiliated in both games by close scores, due to some spectacular plays by tlie Missouri gardeners. The scores were 2-1 and 5-2. We returned home to play St. Mary ' s May 2nd. Quigley ' s men had their usual pep and lost a hard-fought game, 5-2. On Wednesday and Thursday. May 7th and 8th. came the two most looked forward to games of the year, with K. I . They were plainly a case of 1914 too much Bishop. K. U. won the first game, 3-0. In the last of the ninth inning of the second game the score was 6-3 against the Aggies. It was .it this point that the Aggie- found themselves and commenced to do some real batting. The pace was too much for Busick, and again Bishop was called to come tn the rescue. He did come, and the game ended with a score of 6-5 in favor of K. U. May 15th we invaded Lawrence, hoping to redeem the two defeat- we had received from EC. U. on the Alumni held. We were only partially suc- cessful, however. A hatting rally was started in the ninth inning of the first game, but the K. U. infield tightened up and we Inst the game, 5-3. The Aggies won the second game easily, 6-3, and for another season K. U. tri- umphed over us. Max 2is1 we again defeated St. Mary ' .-, this time on their own field, by the score of 6-1. We returned home after this game to close the season May 23rd again -f the Ha-kell Indian-. The red-kin- were defeated in a one-sided game, 7-0. ( )n the night of June 2nd, the Coach entertaned the men who composed the squad. K letters were awarded to the following men: Agnew, Briney, Scanlon, Enns, Cleland, Forsburg, Pollem, Beaman, McCallom, Bailey, Dresser, Knau-.. and Dryden. The evening was successfully brought to a close by electing Hank Dresser as the 1914 captain. Missouri Valley rules made Dresser ineligible, however, and on Febru- ary [2th the baseball K men that were in school elected Nick Enns as the pilot of the 1914 baseball team. Six old men and main- Freshman stars of the [913 team are out for the Varsity team this year, and the prospects for a winning team are very good.

Coach Hutto, C apt. Hancock ' FF ' HE ' 13 track season marked the advent of the Aggie cinder men into vi Missouri Valley company, and they left a creditable record behind them. True, Kansas University beat us twice, but they also beat Missouri indoors and walked on Nebraska outdoors. True also, Missouri hogged the large end of the dual meet score, but they mistreated Minnesota even more. So far as the State Meet in the Kansas Conference was doped, the Aggies were due for a trouncing, but easily led a good field on a poor track, though Horn managed to keep the 880 record at Baker. But the Aggies became better fixed in Missouri Valley track athletics by winning a good bunch of points at the K. C. A. C. meet in Kansas City, and winning a first place in the Conference meet at St. Louis, where they met some fast company. 1914 J yal Purple •■ -op Collins Aggies (C.) (Outdoor) 3 Meet 5 1 Aggies Mo.

The tennis season of 1913 proved an unus- ually successful one. not so much in games won as in the advancement of the sport at Kansas State. More contests were scheduled than heretofore and the number of tryouts for the team evidenced the rapidly growing interest taken in the sport. Heretofore, tennis has been the real one horse sport at Kansas State, but the general advancement in athlet- ics demands that a tennis team be produced which can maintain an equal standing to that of the other athletic teams. New tennis courts are to be built, and hence- forth the sport will as- sume its rightful posi- tion and place Kansas State on the map. Although two of the Varsity graduated with the 1913 class, pros- pects for a 1914 team are exceedingly good. Young, of last year ' s team, will be back, and with other promising material, a winning team is assured. The Aggies were represented at the State meet at Winfield y Wolcott and Rexroad, Young being unable to attend. The Aggies lost to Baker in the doubles in the first round, but both players traveled to the semi-finals in the singles, Rexroad losing to Vaughn, state champion, 6-3, 6-4, and Wolcott losing to Lowry, of Baker. 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.

Beside this, the contests are watched closely by the coaches, for there is always a possibility of overlooked ' Varsity material. Inter-class sched- ules in all the major sports are played oft in their proper season. The track meet last spring was an easy victory for the Freshmen. The entrance of an unusually good bunch of high school track men last year made this almost a certainty. Many of that Freshmen team are now Varsity stars. The Freshmen team are always at an advantage, however, as the other classes are picked for the Varsity teams, while the Freshmen are ineligible. Baseball dope was upset in the baseball series by the present Senior class. Thev came to life with an exceptionally good bunch of baseball men and tied the series with the Freshmen. One Freshman pitcher was declared ineligible to play and the Seniors were declared champions. Football this last fall was another surprise. The 14 ' s had won the two previous years and needed another victory this year to win the coaches ' cup, but the machine of the year before had lost too many of its stars to the var- sity. The Freshmen were also doped to rank high, but the surprise came from another quarter. The Freshmen shut out the Seniors in the first game, while the Juniors were doing like things to the Sophomores. In the final games the Juniors won from the Freshmen, thus winning the championship without a defeat. A series of games was played to decide the basketball championship this last winter. Each team was required to play every other team two games, the championship going to the team with the highest percentage of games won. The Freshmen were victorious in this series, winning all of their games. Besides the class rivalry to stimulate interest in inter-class contests, the coach offers a cup to the class that wins the football championship three times in succession. The present Seniors won the cup twice, which has been the nearest to winning it any class has approached as yet. Also each year a cup is given to the class winning the greatest number of championships that year. Such contests are to be encouraged, and may be as interesting in years to come as they are now. j n_5 = ==a Page 323 Royal Purple .0 Ajg r 1914 aalfeeitlMll!

C. enter no inter-collegiate W II athletic contests, they sometimes play an important part in 1 I M the winning of such contests. What wearer of an Aggie V« X athletic uniform has not been inspired to greater efforts by the encouragement from the grandstand ? One of the football play- ers said after the demonstration of the girls which took place between halves of the K. U. football game : We ought to be hanged if we can ' t win after the girls put on a fine stunt like that! If the girls do not enter into inter-collegiate contests, they do have contests of their own. The girls basketball championship series is a feature of the winter term. Teams are entered representing each of the classes in College. The series is played on the main floor of the gymnasium. The results of the games were unusually close this year, the Freshmen and the Juniors winning from the Sophomores and the Seniors, each having a score of [4-13. In the finals, which were played a few days later, the Freshmen won the championship and the cup by the goal shooting of their forwards. Another feature of the women ' s division of the athletic depart- allowed to invite their friends to witness the exhibition which takes allowed to invite their frends to witness the exhibition which takes place on the main floor of the gymnasium. The program consists of the various dances in which the different classes take part. Also they go through several of their marching drills and give an exhibition of the game- as the) are played in the class work. The interest in this department is increasing from year to year, as is shown by the in- i enrollment in classes. .

Gist -4 EALIZING the importance of co-operation among the students and faculty of the Engineering Division, and a lack of definite knowledge of the current developments in the engineering practice, the Engineering students of the Kansas State College organ- ized this Association in 1912. Since that time the Association has grown in numbers and importance until at the present time it includes nearly all the students and faculty of the Engineering Division, and its influences are felt throughout the College. Perhaps its greatest achievement, however, has been in the association and co-operation of its members. Through the Association the members have the opportunity of hearing technical lectures of practicing engineers at the bi-monthly meetings. By such opportunities the students are brought in touch with the engineering world and meet each other in social gatherings. That these influences have resulted in the co-ordination of the Engineering School is evidenced in their annual Engineers ' Day. On this day the Engineers take charge of the chapel exercises, edit the college paper, and co-operate in demonstrations on the college campus and in the city of Manhattan. With such influences at work and with the Engineering Division organized in such a manner, the future of the Association is assured. oyal Purple babble anb Sirloin Club Kiser Kays Levine Wilson Man,,, Allen Gould O ' Cotinell Crumbaker Mann Hodgden Curtis Hepler Sedivy Goodwin Robinson Hale Bunnel Cleland Laubmann Kiser Jones Palmer Hosteller Ansdell Tayloi Collister Cramer Dudley Taylor Gwin Apitz Arbuthnot Root Jenkins Taylor McTlrath Loomis Gates Taaoe Sutton - 1914 =LJ U fv r i_ L. babble awb SMom €lnb Founded January 24, 1914 COLORS Black ami Gold MOTTO ' •Better Livestock for Kansas CHARTER MEMBERS Seniors C.

The membership of the Association is not limited, and any stu- dent interested in dairying may belong. The instructors of the Dairy Department are given honorary membership. The object of the Association is to awaken interest in the Dairy Course and general subjects pertaining to dairying. The meetings are held every two weeks, and every-day problems in Dairying are discussed, as well as new records of production of the different breeds and inventions which will influence dairying at large. We plan on holding judging contests from time to time and by this means create more competition and interest among candidates for the Dairy Stock Judging Team. Page 412 -, 1914 J Presides t R. H.

In 1914 the name of the club was changed to Newman Club, in honor of the brilliant English convert, Cardinal Newman. To fulfill the purpose of the organization, social meetings are held every other Friday evening, and on the alternate Friday evenings the time is devoted to some line of religious study under the direction of our local pastor. The College authorities recognize this work by allowing a two-hour credit for it. In further recognition of our efforts the College has placed a set of the new Catholic Encyclopedia on its library shelves. The Club has also purchased and placed in the library eighty-five dollars worth of Catholic books and pamphlets. The Club is now on a sound basis and qualifying to become affiliated with a national organization of Newman Clubs of the various state universities and eollegi 3. It shall be the aim of the Club to favorably influence new Catholic students in the knowledge and practice of their faith and in this way overcome that spirit of religious indifference which is so destructive of sound morality and good character.

This last year a new scheme was tried out in its — organization. A yell leader was elected by the Rooters ' Club. Assistants were elected by each class at the fall term elections to hold office the entire year. This system has worked out very well. The past year saw the best systematic rooting that has ever existed at athletic games at this school. The encouragement and support given the teams, whether win- ning or losing, was of the very highest order and knockers were unknown. Two years ago the Rooters ' Club inaugurated a Tag Day. Tags with an appro- priate motto were sold to students by the girls of the Y. W. C. A. and of the Girls ' Rooters ' Club. A feature of the sale was that no change was given and only silver coins were accepted. The proceeds of Tag Day go to buy sweaters for the men winning the athletic K the preceding year. Tag Day has come to stay. October 23 was the eventful day this year, and tags were sold similarly to the previous year and the sweaters were ordered early enough to be worn home Christmas vacation by those earning them. Pep meetings were held on the campus before most of the big games. These were especially loud just before the K. U. game. At the pep meeting just before the Thanksgiving Day game with Washburn, money was raised by voluntary subscription to send the Band to Topeka. This and similar activities are the functions of the Root- ers ' Club, and college life would be droll indeed were it not for the college spirit and pep which finds its outlet through an organization such as the Rooters ' Club.

Students £ - participating in college forensics are eligible to membership when they have shown desirable qualities of leadership, and have reached certain high standards of scholarship. The purpose of the fraternity is to create bonds of friendship among the members and to give proper recognition to those interested in the promoting of oratory and debate. As a means of arousing interest in forensics, the organization from time to time entertains visiting debating teams. The first annual banquet was held on the evening of the victory over Colorado in the inter-state contest. This function, at which thirty plates were laid, was the social event of the debating year. Such occasions have been an effective means of creating a widening interest in college argumentative contests and of forming closer bonds between this and sister institutions. .1 hi in iii Members M.

Avery ' 91 Treasurer Trr HE Alumni Association of the College is organized for the (m promotion of the best interests of the College and to aid the members of the different classes in becoming ac- quainted. It adopted its present constitution June 15, 1910. The Alumni Association has been a potent factor in looking out for the good of the school. It has issued recently a book containing over 300 pages, containing the graduates and as full a history of their activities as the information obtainable and space would permit. A history of the administrations and pic- tures of the buildings and presidents make the book of wider interest. Professor Albert Dickens was instrumental in making the book a success. D liftmmni ORE than 150 graduates and former students of the Kansas Sta te Agricultural College now are members of the Topeka branch of the Alumni Association. Meetings are held at least once a month, and two banquets a year are given, one in March and the other in November. A picnic is a feature of the summer meetings. The banquet given in March is perhaps the most enjoyable affair of the year for the Topeka Association, according to the older members. This year the banquet was held the evening of March 6, in the First Methodist Church. The decorations for the evening were in the College color, royal purple, and ferns and bouquets of purple hyacinths were used on the tables. After the banquet, this after-dinner program was given: Floyd B. Nichols, ' 12 Toastmaster President ' s Address Arthur Hungerford, ' 13 Address G. C. Wheeler, ' 95 Vocal Solo Lucile Berry.

Get a bunch of fellows together in the back of the room and tell them a story. Fifth : Be sure and get plenty of paper. Any extra will come in handy. Sixth: When the Prof tells the class to separate, get a seat well to the front and left. This will throw him off guard. Seventh: Roll up your sleeves to show that you have nothing concealed. If this is done with dexterity, the pony on the cuff will not show. Eighth: When you get through, be sure and separate all paper out of the loose sheets that might prejudice the Prof against you.

President Caton called the meeting to order, after quiet had been restored, but the effort was lost, as three more Freshmen arrived from the Annex. Updegraff and Irene Held had to be called in from the porch swing. To facilitate the work of get- a chapter house large enough to accommo- date the chapter next year, three house- seeking committees were appointed. One from every class, except the Senior. A ten- cent assessment was passed to buy a Wegee board to replace the one worn out. The minority thought the money should be used to purchase a new porch swing, and to exchange the light chains on the old swing for heavier ones. This would make the porch much more pleasant on rainy nights. It was decided to not repair the old sum- mer-house in the city park. The dining stewardess reports breakfast will not be served at the house any more during the spring term, as nearly all the girls have chapel dates, anyway. The sorority will pay for the breakfast of the girls who haven ' t dates. The petition assessment was increased from $5.00 to $7.00, as it was found necessary to buy more halftones for the book than was planned. Churchward reports she has three Pi Phi friends who will spend the week-end here. Kingan, Glenn, and Wilson are appointed on a com- mittee to notify the Sigma Nus. Silly Mills, Robinson, and Jones make a report on the dope they have on the Tau Omega German. It was decided to withhold the bids to the farewell until more was learned of the German. Meeting adjourns in time for the second show at the Marshall, as the vaudeville is a tango act.

It might have happened in any other month as well as June, were it not for the setting. June is (always the choicest as far as setting ' is mfea J IkS i BL concerned, especially setting on the campus. JF S B Hjr ujf H ' Field and lawn were at their best. It was U B W W M yet too early for the mid-summer sun to leave the lawns bare and destitute, stripped of all their verdure and wilted in the fierce heat of a tropic sun. It was too late for the frost to creep from out its hiding place and with an insidious grasp, seize and thrust upon unsuspecting admirers of springtime, the henious and loathsome affec- tion of influenza. It is for that reason that June is the month of brides, influenza is passed and hay fever has not yet arrived. Indeed, it is a common thing, that two souls should vibrate in a harmonious unison for one of the poets tells us that all nature is in tune at this time; but add to the daintiest girl alive, an incurable case of hay fever, and love takes wings and flies. on of fortune, complete to the minutest detail, as clothes that look as though they had been made for his little brother and cigarettes whose smell is so rank that they cry to heaven. — add to tin- accoutrement, so dear to the modern girl, a case of influenza, and she would desert him for a plumber who rolls his own pills and wears high-heeled shoes the color of a new saddle, and pink hosiery with polkadots worked in them. But all this is beside the mark. It was June, about knee-deep in June. The roses shed their sweet fragrance on the morning winds, a message it seemed to the birds that flitted from tree to tree and sang the songs that nature taught them, songs too sweet for words to express, too dear to have their wild and care-free strains marred by staff or bar or symbol. The Maid and the Fusser sat beneath a tree, remote from all the world. An aged man went slowly by. It was the chapel speaker, and following him at a respectful distance was the chapel attendant, a Freshman with his first chapel date. The Maid sat moodily chewing a blade of grass, a far-away look in her eyes. She was dimly conscious that she was attractive in a simple gown of white, clasped at the throat with dainty liar and holding in place a tiny scrap of green. The glint of tlie sun played in her rebellious hair as though it had come on its triilion-mile trip for the purpose of touching her cheek. This rebellious hair business is a queer thing. It is a ma1 al injustice. It is becoming in moderation with maids, but as for man. it brings disgrace to his character and heaps calumny on his fair name, unles otball hero or owns a yacht. lurse, it is i . ! I i ser lay at full length on the gra ' ' a stick he made imaginary pictures before him. dreadfully lonesome after college is out? he ventured. Yes, she murmured, dreadfully L Royal Purple The Fusser turned half over. As he did so he forced a yawn and shoved a eoatless arm high in the air, letting it drop like a weight. It sure will, he re- peated over, it sure will. Over on the other corner of the campus, a group of two or three couples were rending the air with shouts as they pulled grass and tried to put it down some one ' s neck. Nearby a loud laugh arose. Some bright youth had pulled a joke that he had heard at Wareham ' s the night before. A bluejay uttered a shrill cry for its mate, way down the Lane some place. A chemistry professor came out of Dennison Hall, which is the same as the chem building. He carried a stack of yellow envelopes over to the main hall. The Maid picked up a notebook. Do you know, I believe I will flunk in Human Nute, she said. O, I reckon not, said the Fusser, who all the time was trying to get up nerve to ask her permission to go to Sunday School with her. June was working on him. Sunday morning dates are the last stage of a case, before the announce- ment party. Chapel was out, and as he carried her books over to the very entrance of the D. S., he promised that he would ask her that night; he would settle it once for all. He even paused a moment on the entrance of the building before he turned away to take a quizz in soils for which he was unprepared. That is the true test of devotion, it is said, when a man will willingly face a soils quizz unprepared or lounge on the steps of the Women ' s building. As they lingered there a while, the Fusser talked idly. The Maid was no better. Are you going to be at home all summer? asked the Fusser. Yes, probably, except for the hot months, when we will probably go to the lakes. Secretly she knew that the hot months would find her helping mother with the peaches. What will you do? asked the Maid as though it would break her heart if it would cost more than a dime to reach Prince Charming by telephone. Probably run the boat for the governor, he returned as though he were telling the whole truth. His father was a stone mason and sometimes required Reginald to run a stone-boat. The Fusser left, and vowed he would plead his suit that night under the silvery light of the moon. He even dreamed of serenading her, wearing fancy velvet clothes and carrying a guitar. After supper that night, the boarding-house lady asked the hasher if there was anything wrong with the apricots, remarking that Reginald did not eat them. The hasher only smiled; he roomed with the Fusser and knew the symptoms. The next morning, Reginald, the Fusser, bribed the hasher to bring him up some crackers, on the plea that his head ached. All was silent as Reggie munched away. Finally he murmured, To think of her being tied up to a clerk, at $50 per. A bluejay chirped outside, the same as it had done yesterday on the campus. George, said the Fusser, addressing the hasher, throw something at that cussed bird. But George grabbed a Trig, and hurried on to College. T. J. H. 1914 - 1914 Full of Charming Illustrations ? 4® |3 r  f| OUR NEWEST BOOK WHY I LEFT COLLEGE ROYAL PURPLE COMMITTEE Royal Purple Stock Speeches on the Dance PRO Ladies and Gentlemen: You, who have known me for the past years, will bear with me, when I say that I am an upright man. I say this without fear of successful contradiction, based upon what I think other persons are saying about me. Now then, the proposition is simply this: If it is right for a person as good as myself to dance, why can not some of the others dance? I appeal to your sense of justice! Could anything be more logical? Now I have a few other things that I would like to say if you will bear with me. I think a dance is the only place where a person can really enjoy himself. I know I find it so, and so do many others that have the same educated feeling that I have. I thank you. CON Ladies and Gentlemen : I am fully conscious of the importance of the speech that I am about to make. I realize that it has been a long time since any- thing of so great a consequence was done or said. With this brief introduction, I will begin. I do not believe in the dance for several reasons. The first eight are personal, and the other one is of the same origin. That, ladies and gentlemen, is enough to discredit the whole proposition that has been laid before the class. 1 have uttered these sentiments in public for several years and during that time it has won to my standards those whom I now have about me. I repeat that I am against the dance. Often in my career have I had the intention of learning to dance for the art of gracefulness, but each time I have put the idea behind me as a sinful thing. I would not mention any names, but some persons have deserted our ranks. I feel that the omen is good. The unfaithful are leaving us, and gradually they will leave none but myself, and then I shall carry the banner alone. And so, my friends and classmates, when I gaze for the last time upon the portals of the gym, may I not see them through the glare of an illuminated ball- room. May I not hear as I pass into the silent night, the strains of Too Much Mustard accompanied by the nervous tattoo of Van Scoick bostoning. May I never hear the sounds of revelry by night, and may the sad words never reach my ears that a dance was held on the campus. But rather let the words so dear to my heart blaze forth in the headlines of the Aggie, Tiddlewinks and the Seniors, now and forever, one and inseparable! _ 1914 - - J A Tragedy Moral : Always use the telephone. WESTERN UNION WESTERN UNION DAY LETTER We hated to do it, Gordon, and we don ' t blame you if you never speak. But really, you need a lesson. A barrel is entirely too much. p 1914 Aztex Meeting of the Aztex was called to order by David Shull. The first on the program was a vocal solo, O, Perfect Day. This was sung by Shorty Fowler. After a few preliminary remarks, Karl Knause brought some business before the house, but as it did not amount to much, the fellows soon got to talking about other things. Fred Layton, steward, complained about some of our men not paying their bills as promptly as they ought, but of course the fellows are all so busy on the hill that they sometimes never think of those little things. Kink really made a good speech. His speech was largely concerned with the fu- ture of the frat and the chances of getting Delta Tau. Frank Root asked several ques- tions pertinent throughout the speech, but Kinky was equal to the emergency and an- swered some of them. Shorty tried to say a few words, but the Freshmen threatened to tub him if he did not keep still. Shorty has about outlived his day of usefulness, but he is still actively interested in everything. One of the boys reported a date. Our younger set is taking hold of society in great shape, and we will soon be A No. 1. As nothing more of inter- est was brought up, the meeting was dis- missed. Don Wheelan. Royal Purple i% Sigma Alpha Epsilon We held our meeting last night, in the usual fashion. Gordon gave the opening address and made several pertinent remarks concerning the good of Sigma Alpha Epsi- lon. Nearly all of the men were there. Cap Loomis and Dave Grey left early, be- cause they had spoken for Woodman Hall, where Dave is teaching Cap to two-step. Gordon said something about taking Ber- tillion measurements of our Freshmen, so we could tell them, we have so many, but some of the other fellows would rather have a roll call once in a while. B. V. D. Jones talked some about fellowship. He said that we had so many new men this year that we ought to take special means to get acquaint- ed with them. He also told the younger fel- lows to make a name on the hill for them- selves. About the only one of our men who is really well known is Dave Grey. Red Plumb promised to try for something and will report at the next meeting. Briney thinks that he will star enough on the ball team to bring some honor. Nothing more being brought up, the session was adjourned and Gordon commenced putting the Fresh- men to bed. Kick Bergier, Recording Secretary. - , 1914 t - -7 f — ■ r Ji faofs t ? TOTS Sigma Nu Meeting ' called to order by Hanna. Every member answered to roll call, with exception of Karper, who was writing a letter. Davidson repoited on committee for securing a permanent cook. He advised a plan of having the Freshmen keep on intimate terms with Yuma street, in order to insure a uniform meal ticket. ' Red Maury objected. Dudley reported that he had made another office, and elected himself to honorary vice-president. Lank repoited that a new officer was needed in the military department, and asked for the approval of the frat in appointing Andy Harold. Schafer, the only member taking journalism, read the following poem: The Charge of the Sigma Nus. 1914 „ Royal Purple Tau Omega Sigma Chapter House, May 1, 1914. After the umsteenth attempt, President Sidorfsky called the meeting to order at 8:37 p. m. Opening: ceremonies were begun, when it was discovered Sergeant Boiler Stevenson wasn ' t present. Short recess taken while the Freshmen search the house for the sergeant. He is found in the bath room reading the latest edition of the Salina Evening Breeze, his home paper. Sergeant arrives and the meeting proceeds. Roll call was postponed, as many of the brothers haven ' t appeared. Call from Western Union for Boise. Girl friend going through on the 9:08 flyer. Boise is excused, and meeting proceeds. Motion carried that if Ziegler says anything more about Boston or New York, the freshmen will tub him three times a day until further notice. McGinnis is appointed as chairman of library committee. Tries to influence other members of the committee with sample cans of smoking tobacco. Shelly refuses to be bribed. Says he doesn ' t smoke Velvet. Ziegler remarks one would hardly call a can of Velvet a bribe. Broberg and Jenkins return from a dance at Eureka Lake. Report too many soldiers. Historian reads. an account of recent events of the fraternity. History is in permanent form. It is written on an Enns Mill- ing Company flour sack with an indelible pencil. Just beneath a large skull and cross-bones done in red paint at the top of the sack on both sides, appears the following: To Pune O ' Connell and Other Foraging Brothers: This isn ' t a towel. This is a history. (Signed) Nicholas Frederick Price Enns, Historian. Committee is appointed to see the Episcopal Guild and create a favorable impression as to how well the house has been taken care of the last year. Another committee was appointed to put out the proper dope about how elaborate the fare- well party is going to be, so the fraternity will draw well to the sorority parties. Noise on the porch. Rushees want to know if meeting is about over. The women in the musical vaudeville at the Marshall are eating a luncheon in the Candy Kitchen, and incidentally causing more or less excitement, viz, to- wit, sh-h-h, slit skirts. Meeting adjourned. Everyone hastens to the Kitchen. 1914 Pi Kappa Alpha Pi Kappa Alpha met and talked things over last night. There has been a story stalled around the campus that we are not a regular fraternity, but simply a bunch of piefaces that had got together. Stony Potter condemned the rumor in the most unmistakable language. He blamed it large- ly onto the action of Andy Anderson and Whitehead, but even if they are not just what they ought to be, they are our broth- ers and we are going to stand up for them. They are often received at the sorority houses, and Stony says they do every bit as well at the Phi Phi house as Tau Omegas do. We also decided on giving our parties regular. Some of the boys objected to the amount of money we were spending, but we will cut down on the table. Harry Baird heard a bunch of the Sigma Nu Freshmen making fun of our collars. He asked Ste- phen what they should do about it and Steve said, Ignore the highbrows. Jacob- son of Topeka has offered us $20 for our entire lot of Mackinaws. They may not be worn next season, and as soon as we find out we are to let him know. Murph Gates gave the boys a great deal of encourage- ment and said it was hard for every new organization to get going well, but to not give up. Stony promised to talk to Andy this morning. Harry Alien. Recorder. D Lambda Lambda Theta Chapter House, Lambda Farm, May 1. The meeting was called to order by Presi- dent Smith. Roll call showed Howell, McGill, Harshbarger, Fielding absent, but as they are generally late, this isn ' t un- usual. Huffman brings up the names of two young women who should be rushed. Gne has an aunt at Nebraska, and the other has a third cousin at .Missouri, who are Thetas. It was decided to postpone any action until it was learned they really had such relatives, and that they were Thetas. The abseentees at roll call appeared. Com- mittee on fraternity entertainment reports that all of the fraternities have been enter- tained with 500 parties, and that after the decks of cards given as prizes had been paid for there remained $1.47 from the two- bit assessment for these parties. Hildreth got another twenty-five-cent assessment through to be used as a fund for the porch and lawn parties as soon as the weather permits. Halbower reports she is still run- ning the Senior class, but hasn ' t as large a following of barb boys as she had last winter. The naming of the Lambda May queen candidate was laid on the table for another week. The Freshmen wanted to give the Pi Kappa Alphas a steak roast. Was voted down by the upperclassmen. Hill read an interesting paper on The Mexican Trouble. The house stewardess reports she bought another gross of scrap- ers and one dozen door-mats. She believes this supply will last until the close of the college year. .Meeting adjourned, as all the Freshmen have dates, and there isn ' t a quorum without them. Royal Purple =jm= h wm Eta Beta Pi Chapter House, May 1, 1914. The sergeant finally succeeded in round- ing ' up the porch-swing gang. Round up was under the direction of the president of the chapter. President Jack ' ' Johnson called the meeting to order. Baird, Zeini n- •-! !. Kelly, and Gurnea were absent. The president explains they have permission to lie thirty minutes late. Committee was ap- pointed to buy eighteen new opaque cur- tains immediately for the sleeping porches. Another vote was taken on the question, What national sorority Eta Beta Pi shall petition? The vote showed three nationals had received seven votes apiece. The presi- dent didn ' t vote. A committee of one from every faction was appointed in an effort to reach a definite decision before the next meeting. Pratt spoke on The Need of a Large Freshman Class Next Fall, and How to Subject Them. Hoffman reported on what the other sororities were doing toward petitioning- so far as she was able to learn. She urged the sisters to do something toward petitioning; and showed the neces- sity of getting busy. Motion to buy a new date gong, to be rung at the usual time, 10:30 p. m., was lost 11 to 10. Motion carried to accept the picture of Mr. H. P. Wareham, said photograph to be hung in the hall. President appointed a committee to make out the porch-swing schedule for the rest of the spring term. All the street car conductors have been pre- sented with large angel-food cakes. It is the opinion of the chapter the cars will be stopped in front of the house on rainy days. Several of the dates have arrived on the front porch. Meeting was closed with a song, The Eta Beta Doxology, which was sung to the tune, Always Take a Girl Named Daisy. URPLE - , 1914 R, jsm : 4 SSi X ' MM THIS WAY OUT J .

It is a reflector of the school life and all that it implies. To send forth such a representative so that it will be a credit to the school and a good advertisement, it must be dressed in a manner befit- ting its mission. It should never look common. It should mirror in its make-up the best in quality of stock and binding, with pages printed in such a manner as will emphasize the best achievement of the printing art. Remember it is your printer who gives effect to the labor of photographer, engraver and paper maker. Therefore the selection of your printer is all important. CASTLE -PIERCE PRINTING CO.

KANSASFARMER For the improvement of the Farm and Home TOPER A , KANSAS, MARCH 28,1914 iblished 1863. $1 • ■•:••■, •■ .■ ' ••!■ ' ■• ;■ ' ! ' MORE than one hundred cows have been slaughtered in the Mulvane, Kansas, neighborhood during the past season, because of tuberculosis. This is not the only community to suffer. These cows cost one hundred dollars and upwards. Most of such animals were bought from out-of-state dealers who advertised in Kansas papers but whose advertising Kansas Farmer refused to print. The cow-buying farmers of Kansas are taking note of papers carrying reliable ad- vertising. This was evidenced in January, at a meeting in Manhattan, when one dairy farmer was roundly applauded following this statement before the meeting of the State Dairy Association; • ' Kansas Farmer did not carry any of that cow advertising. You never saw any of it in their columns. You are safe when you buy from their advertisers and that ' s something every farmer in Kansas should know and appreciate. There seems to be no recourse for the victims of this unscrup ulous advertising, but if experience is worth anything they can avoid a repetition. Kansas Farmer does not carry unreliable advertising for love nor money. Other papers have the same means of locating this class of advertising as has Kansas Farmer. They can exclude it from their columns if they will. The published guarantee of advertising is much alike in all farm papers these days. The only real guarantee is what the paper has done in the past.
