As we finish this task — a labor of love for Old Kenyon — we realize for the first time that our college days are three-fourths over. Another year, and we shall leave the “Hill”; another year, and other men will take our places, other faces will be seen where we were wont to frequent and other hands will do the work which we enjoyed to do. It has been the purpose in our Reveille to do what all Kenyon Books have done in past years — to honor Alma Mater—and we can best accomplish this purpose by picturing Kenyon as Kenyon really is, without boasting and without exaggeration. With this pur- pose in view we set about our work and we shall be content if it is realized. Our work has brought to each of us a keen realization of the strength of Alma Mater and as we have gone deeper into the knowledge of Kenyon s history, there has been an increase in affection and respect for our college which has spurred us on and enabled us to complete our task. The book recounts the successes and the failures, the honors and the disappointments of the college year. While we prefer to dwell upon the successes and the honors and to forget the failures and the disappointments, we leave them all for you, reader, to fol- low, each in its proper department. page thirteen Although we realize that our Reveille is wanting in many ways, that it falls far short of our anticipations, still we feel that its pages mean more than its mere printed words and we send it forth, hop- ing that the motives which inspired the labor may be considered and that the criticisms may be kindly. page fourteen Table of Contents Editor’s Foreword ....

Metamorphoses (Senior Class) WHEN we look backward and view life in the day of the classics, we are sure to be struck with that unbounded fulness of action, charming romanticism and mystic imagery that charac- terizes that age. Every phase of that life seems to appeal to us as those secret joys of our childhood days. No one was ever employed with the uninteresting prosaic duties which take so much time today. At present, life seems to lack all those coveted diversities. There is no place for those phases of life. Each day is taken with the com- mon-place occupations of this commercial, monopolistic age. But here in Gambier, living outside the pale of representative American life, let us put on the spectacles of the old man of the East and view in that light the history of the Senior class. So the class today is symbol- ized by a sphere, a sphere of bright silver mercury. This sphere reflects in all directions: backward over the four years of its making; and on account of its extreme brightness, forward so that visions of the future may be seen. Four years ago, early in September, upon the plain of Kenyon’s campus some forty small drops of mercury came rolling in from all directions. Kenyon had proved to be a strong magnet for this quality of mercury, for tracing the paths these small globes had taken, one finds that they came not only from all parts of this country but also from over fair Atlanta. At the center of attraction it took only a very short time for these numerous globules to consolidate into a unified mass. The result was an irregular, dark colored heap of ellip- tical shape on the surface of which could be seen large splotches of green. But this green looking heap was not long to remain thus. Outside influence in the shape of gonks, minstrel shows and class fights began to effect this mass. Large sections of the green impurities fell page thirty-five away, and here and there bright silver-like specks began to appear. And further, on account of these things, the heap was assuming a spherical shape. T his change consumed most of the first year. At the beginning of the second year another great alteration occurred. The spheroid, although it remained stationary, on account of an inside force began to revolve, slowly indeed at first. It is true already at this time this object also began to grow smaller, as often, some particle not being able to adapt itself to such an environment would drop from the sphere and roll off the Hill. But the surface quickly grew light and polished. As the revolution increased, it became evident that this sphere was not a useless thing. The light from its polished surface reflected many accomplishments. Its power has brought success in scholarship, athletics, dramatics, social festivities, wholesome fellowship and all other activities that surrounded the great center. Thus for two years this sphere, once a dirt colored mass, now a highly polished globe, remained near the Pole of attraction, shedding its light of good influence and at the same time taking on a higher polish on account of the friction with other bodies. During this long period the sphere gradually grew smaller and the revolution became greatly accelerated. The fourth year the sphere, on account of its high rate of turning, and also because of a larger sphere crowding from below, slowly begins to move away from the Power that attracted its particles. This Power has been absorbed and will always be retained as an ingredient. The history of the sphere from this point is told purely from a vision seen in its surface. It is known to all that this body cannot remain a unit without some external power of attraction, so its breaking down is expected. Accord- ing to all natural law, if the sphere continues moving in its present path, it cannot fail to strike a disintegrating agent on June twenty-second. It is now expected that it will separate into seventeen parts, although there is just now some doubt as to this conjecture. The divided parti- cles will then roll away into the future. Their location will be far apart, even separated by oceans, but wherever placed, each within itself will possess those wholesome characteristics which go to make up a true Kenyon man. L. F. E.

Is it a mere record of class achievement and event or perhaps is it the mark- ing of the stages by which we advanced toward the realization of our aims and ambitions? There may be other opinions as to what constitutes class history but the writer feels that if he shall have suc- ceeded in revealing — in portraying the Spirit of the Class — he shall have done his duty. Of the original forty-three men who entered Kenyon during that eventful third September week of nineteen hundred and seven but twelve remain. To this quota however have been added a number of men entering during our second and third years. As an example of the welding power of Mother Kenyon our class stands a united and compact unit in our college life. What we have done—what record we have made — all may be gleaned from this and past Reveilles. Classmates have striven for their College in foot ball, base ball, track and basket ball. This was expected. As freshmen we won our rush and wrote our themes. As sophomores we held many an S. C. I. and were opinionated. As Juniors we gave our Prom, and this book is our Reveille. In all this we have carried out and lived up to Kenyon tradition. It was expected. But in a larger sense we believe we have succeeded. As a result of all these activities which shaped our aims and opinions, we page forly-ievcn believe that there has obtained in our hearts an unalloyed appreci- ation of the ideals of this college, an unqualified approval of what our college stands for and a zealous loyalty for our Alma Mater. Behind all this has grown up a spirit of co-operation and good fellowship. The members of the class have always collectively put their shoulders to the wheel in the various enterprises with which they have been identified. Our relationship has been happily free from dissension and class bickering. We have preserved in the best sense of the word the spirit of good fellowship and good will so necessary to satisfactory class life in college. In fine, this note of good class-ship has been successfully attuned to the harmony of the Thrill whose words shall live with us and follow us in whatever paths Destiny may lead us.

Ohio page fifty-nine 1912 FROM the rime the first “Boola Boola” was set to music by a few frightened freshmen waiting in the bath tubs of tower Kenyon for their turn to the weekly S. C. I., a peculiar sort of loyalty has sprung up among the youths who entered Kenyon to complete their course in 1912. True enough, during our initial year —we prefer to call it by that name rather than by the odious “Freshman” attributive—the privilege of very few harmony meetings were allowed us to know one another well, nor were we over suc- cessful in other of the usual first year stunts to make us unusually loyal to our class. We threw the chairs out of Ascension into the moat below, one rainy night; we nearly froze, and our damage deposits were overdrawn, but the eight o’clock classes of the next morning went on with the same precision that our bachelor profs have been getting married. We didn’t make ourselves notorious by creating a Revolution Week. No, we didn’t amount to much of anything last year—just ordinary rummy Freshmen. But we hung one over the class above us by putting up posters derogatory to them, over all the store windows and street lamps of Gambier, and we cut a Sophomore’s head of hair, and we had a mighty good banquet here in Gambier town under the very nose of the Sophomore class who were hanging around in an attempt to break up our party and to steal our ice cream and punch. But during the uneventful initial year, we honestly believe we were getting the rudiments of a liberal education well percolated through us. Perhaps it was better for us that we were only ordi- page iixty-one naries, still there are a certain number of things that we couldn’t help learning, despite our commonplace character. One of them is the position of a Sophomore. The Sophomore year is an odd propo- sition. The student is between two crushing forces, one, the impu- dence and mockery of the Freshmen below him, and the other, the disdain and contempt of the classes above. On the one hand, he is the common enemy of every Freshman, who never fails to put him under embarrassment, and on the other hand, he is the sole cause and blame for Freshman conduct or misconduct. He isn’t the object of curiosity and the seat of all attention that the Freshman is —the Sophomore is taken as a matter of course, nor is he accorded the honor and distinction which the upperclassman receives. And so we have passed our second year, embittered against all around us, but content in our own selves—equally divided in our quiet and unobtrusive pursuit of our Keys and our K’s. 'I he glory of the Junior year is before us. That glory lies chiefly in an ineffectual struggle to give a Prom, and to publish a Reveille without losing money. No matter what we may have done before, the big year is the Junior year, and class distinction then lies mainly in a successful Prom, and a creditable Year Book. That is the task before 1912. The Sophomore year is an intermediate, receptive period during our college sojourn. We have been taking and assimilating what college has had to offer; soon our chance will come to make a return to the college community of what we have taken. Those that are left of us—we would say with conceit, “the survival of the fittest”—are the remnants of 1912 that are left to carry on the work that the honor of our college demands of us. We are relying upon the love of Kenyon and the loyalty to 1912 to urge us onward. page sixty Iwo Nineteen Hundred and Twelve CLASS OFFICERS Ernest Cook Dempsey ........

One by one we climbed the “Hill” in the golden September days and gathered at the top—the Class of 1913. We came to Kenyon, not with the expectation of being first-year Seniors, but rather with the intention of taking our place at the foot of the ladder, hoping to reach the top in four long, joyful, college years. Since our arrival, books have made quite an impression upon us. Spurred on by “fives” from the Faculty and “fifties” frpm the Sophomores, we have made slow, but steady progress. Our career began September 15th, at four forty-five. Under the shadow of Fat’s protecting wings, we reached the Chapel in safety. Alas, our return was under a different escort. Later in the evening, the Sophomores offered us a personally conducted tour of the village, which we accepted. Then in return for this favor, we decided to give a “Minstrel” in Rose Hall. It must have been a “howling success, as we were unmercifully “applauded.” Our first chance to prove our worth, however, came the follow- ing evening. We spent an exciting and memorable night in a barn, under the leadership of several members of the Junior Class, and returned the next afternoon to take part in the cane-rush. After eight minutes of struggling between the desperately swaying classes, 1913 was declared victor by an overwhelming score, 23 to 8. There came, however, a shadow over our history. The Sopho- mores, having banded themselves together for mutual protection” into the society of S. C. I„ introduced several rather unique perform- page sixty-nine ances entitled, “By Gonk and Paddle,” in which we were forced to accept the leading role. Here we were taught not to overlook several little formalities, such as touching our caps to upperclassmen and filling bakery and mail schedules. The next exciting event in our history was the pajama parade. Who can forget our informal reception with the Criminology Class, our midnight tour of the Faculty houses and our first appearance at Harcourt? That night as we swung back and forth in lockstep, through the dimly-lighted thoroughfares of Gambier, we succeeded in singing as far as the one hundred and eighty-third verse of our class song with which tradition had kindly provided us. One day as we were leaving for lunch, a sign appeared on the bulletin-board stating that our hats had come. Impelled by the magic influence of the letters S. C. I., we emerged from Jackson’s with a bright yellow headgear of a rather original design. This proved to be the fashion—for us—until after Thanksgiving. Although our numerals had found their places throughout the village, the color of the paint chosen seemed rather too appropriate for Freshmen, so having gathered in Philo Hall, we elected our class officers and decided in the future to swear by the orange and black. As a class, we have contributed promising material to all of the college teams and organizations to which we were eligible. Who will forget our uncoached football team as it tore through the ’Varsity line to victory? Many of us are already fostering in our hearts the ambition of some day wearing a big purple “K,” and doubtless Kenyon teams in the future will be strongly reinforced by 1913 men. Some of us have already fallen by the wayside, others perhaps will be found missing before our course is run, but there is not one of us who, looking back through memory’s vista, will not remember with a true “thrill” our Freshman year at Kenyon. page seventy Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen CLASS OFFICERS Harold Arthur Sparks.....................President George Glen Skilcs..................Vice-President Evan Mai Voir Chase......................Secretary Donald Wonders .........

Too much importance is usually put upon the result of the State game in reviewing the season. With the exception of this game the record of the team is one which makes every college in the state respect the name of Kenyon more than ever before. The Collegian said in reviewing the record of the team: “Of all the teams in the Ohio Conference, Kenyon was probably the hardest hit in the non- return of veteran material. When the season opened Coach Pierce faced this proposition. He had to fill six positions out of the material offered from the last year’s scrub and freshman teams, the three center men and two halfbacks being the men left from last year’s team. With an eye to next year the coach used his material and at the same time was able to manage so that Kenyon main- tained her position in Ohio athletics.” 1 he squad was greatly weakened by the non-return of three of last year's squad who were expected back last fall. Several promising Freshmen of last year failed to show up in September. Dunn, who. it was confidently expected, would prove an able successor to Brigman at full, suffered a broken ankle in the Wesleyan game which kept him from playing the rest of the season. Enough credit cannot be given to this plucky player who had been injured in two preced- page one hundred lix I ing games but gamely persisted in playing in this one which only resulted in an unfortunate accident which forced him to walk on crutches for over three months. Kcnyc- nen appreciate and admire the sacrifice he made, while helping Kenyon on to victory, and he has the respect and sympathy of every loyal supporter of the game. The work of Coach Pierce in combating these discouragements deserves the undivided praise of the student body and alumni. He has so endeared himself in the hearts of all the undergraduates that they call him Vice President Pierce.” and he is probably the only member of the Faculty ever elected by the students and therefore it shows his great popularity if the students make him a member of the Faculty. All the old men and a few new men reported a week before college opened for practice. The season opened two weeks later by defeating Columbus East High School Alumni on Benson field by the score of 26 to 0. In this game the new men were tried out and our line seemed to be as good as it was last year. But the Otterbein game the following week showed that there were several weak places in the line and after a hard fought game, we came out victorious but were scored upon by Otterbein, the first time in many years. Score 8-6. The joy of the victory over Wesleyan was lessened by the injury of Dunn. Score 1 1 -0. Next we met Wittenberg and the result of the game was a big surprise. After our victory over Wesleyan every one thought that the Witten- berg game would be unusually easy but this was not the case and Kenyon had to play hard to nose out a victory. Score 1 1 -6. The following Saturday we jour- neyed to Cleveland, where we played Reserve in a sea of mud. A Cleveland paper said: As usual, Kenyon played a wonderful defensive game. The desperate goal line stands which have made Kenyon a synonym for pluck in former years were more than ever in evidence.” Next we met Case who played a remarkable game against us remembering the tic score of the year before and succeeded in running up a large score the first half but Kenyon braced up in the second half and defeated them in points scored that half. But Case won by an easy margin. Score 32-1 I. Heidelberg was easily defeated at home the next Saturday although carelessness gave them eight points. Score 59-8. November I 3th lived up to its reputation of a hoodoo and brought an unexpected defeat for Kenyon. Denison defeated us 9 to 6, owing to the crippled condition of the team and poor judgment at critical times. Wooster was defeated the next week by the small score of 5 to 0 while four of Kenyon’s regulars sat on the page one hundred «even side lines, nursing injuries and saving themselves for the State game. On '1 hanksgiving Day Ohio State was met and we were defeated although in no sense outclassed. Even though defeated we had the satisfaction of having one of the Columbus papers say that Half Back Bentley played the cleverest and prettiest defensive game ever played on Ohio field. This was the last game for him and also for Captain Sicgchrist and Bland, and Kenyon is proud of these three men who all played pluckily to the last although all three were injured. I he latter has played in every game for three years at center and has never had time taken out for him. It was with regret that the Kenyon supporters saw these three men walk off Ohio field for the last time. Considering all the accidents and misfortunes, the team made a remarkable record. I hey upheld the reputation for being the “plucky little Kenyon team and played with a “never-say-die spirit against great odds. Kenyon’s popularity is also proven by drawing the third largest crowd Case has ever had in Cleve- land. Only two teams defeated Kenyon by fairly large scores and considering the number of men these institutions have from which to pick their team com- pared to the small number, sixty, which Kenyon has, the record made by the team of 1909 can draw only praise from the football public. p gc one hundred eifihl FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1909.

The team should be in excellent form to start things off with a victory when the schedule opens at home about the middle of April. Last year's team which made far from an incredible showing, under Coach Cromley’s guidance was built around a nucleus of but four men. This year there are but three veterans but there is enough good material to make the fight for positions keen and guarantee a strong line up when the team is picked. As usual Old Kenyon complained daily in a voice of broken glass of the backstop position she was forced to play until Benson Field was put in shape for practice. That accomplished, the varsity candidates have kept the diamond dust pretty much stirred up and we have seen enough to make us feel sure that Kenyon is to have a snappy team. page one thirteen SEASON OF 1909 J.

Last season is a fine example of complete contrast between what criminologists teach us and the facts as we find them. During the warm months of school everyone promises to support the winter sports but as soon as the time comes, student body and team are stricken with a kind of apathy in the midst of which good promises and intentions are forgotten. Surely this docs not show a higher degree of activity during cold weather. It is true that the schedule was long and the number of games, thirteen, was ominous. Several of them would undoubtedly have turned out differently if played on the home floor but such ridiculous results only show lack of interest and of practice. The numerous debates and discussions in the Assembly give promise that something will be done, but whatever system is arranged no more success will follow it than under the present one unless the support of the student body is as- sured and thereby enthusiasm instilled in the players. Many will say that this is a harsh way to speak of the dead past, but it is to be hoped that we will not lose this sport and a few plain words can do no harm where milder measures have failed to produce the desired effect.

The present Sophomore class brought in men who compare favorably with Kenyon runners of yore and who were unfortunately barred from participating in last year’s track events. The lack of a coach and a suitable track has, for the past two years, tended to lessen the interest of the student body in this particular branch of athletics at Kenyon, but it is hoped that this condition is only temporary. This spring, an endeavor will be made to put the track in better shape than it has been for years, and thus tempt men of track ability to come out and practice. There is no reason why track should not play an important role in the athletic activity of the college, for there are men on the Hill, who. at the expense of a little effort, can carry away the laurels from other contestants in the Big Six conference. page one twenty-one TRACK SEASON OF 1909 V.

Bentley THE second Interscholastic Track Meet was held on Benson field May 22, 1909. After straining every effort to interest secondary schools throughout the state in the meet, the committee succeeded in securing entries of ten different schools a week prior to the date set. Of these entries, but two appeared in Gambicr: East High School and University School, both of Cleveland. Although now resolved into a dual meet, the event was well attended and altogether a great success. Late in the afternoon participants and spectators gathered in front of old Kenyon. After an introductory address in which he welcomed the competing teams to Gambicr, President Peirce presented the Leo Wertheimer trophy cup to East High School. Beautiful gold, silver and bronze medals, the valuable gift of the alumni, were also presented to contestants who won places in the events. This annual meet would prove of much value to Kenyon were prepara- tory schools of the state well represented. This year the committee, having profited by the experience of two previous years, feels that the meet will fulfil the expectations of students and alumni. Committee for 1910 Meet K. T. Siddall, Chairman E. M. Mason W. T. Kinder R. A. Thurstin page one twenty-four KENYON was more successful in her record at Tennis during the past year than in the records of any other of her various teams. The men playing in the matches last spring brought to the honor of the college the championship in singles of Ohio intercollegiate tennis. The team was im- measurably strengthened when Frederick W. Carr, of the University of Chicago, entered Kenyon for his Senior year. During the last year of his play for Chicago, Carr won for the University, the championship of the Western Inter- collegiate Tennis Association by winning matches against Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Northwestern. Accordingly, it was with no little joy that such a star as Carr was welcomed as a support to the Kenyon team, in- suring another year at the sport as successful as the season before, when our team defeated O. S. U. for the title of Ohio. The team for the season of 1909 was composed of Captain Carr, South- worth and White. An intercollegiate tournament of Ohio colleges was arranged to be held on the Kenyon courts. Carr of Kenyon defeated Bare of Wesleyan, Waggoner of Case and Rockey of Wesleyan. Carr and Southworth playing in doubles lost to Wesleyan. Kenyon won matches during the season also from the University of Cincinnati, Wooster and Denison. The accessibility and convenience of the courts to the dormitories make p ge one twenty-five tennis one of the most popular forms of outdoor exercise afforded at the college. The Tennis Association has grown to an organization of strength and this spring it was able to make some noticeable improvements in fixing up the courts. New men entering college are increasing our hopes of continued tennis prosperity, for. in addition to the great pleasure which every man who plays gets from the game, a certain distinction is gained for the college in producing first rate tennis players. The present season of 1910, under the leadership of Captain White, should be as successful as previous ones. TENNIS ASSOCIATION F. W. Carr . . Captain A. D. Farquhar . . . . Manager MEMBERS Dr. L. B.

Taylor, ’06 BUSINESS MANAGER Chester Morse Cable ASSISTANT MANAGER Philip Porter page one thirty-five FOUNDED in 1827� Philomathesian has had a history as old as that of Kenyon- The traditions of both are bound up with each other. To take Philomathesian out of the past, would be to rob Kenyon of half the romance of years gone by. Today, after an existence of over eighty years, the society still lives, an influential force in the literary circles of the college. Philomathesian plays now a single role, that of a useful literary society, for all the social functions she formerly served are in the hands of other organi- zations. Yet, no one can say she has passed out of the student's social life, for it is in a great measure the untold influence of the old society which helps mold Kenyon spirit. Few realize this, but one need only attend the luncheon of the society Commencement Week and compare the speeches there with the speeches at the alumni luncheon to appreciate that the new Kenyon spirit is but the spirit of the old literary society in modern dress. This year there have been no intercollegiate debates, and the work has been limited to the discussion of subjects within the society. The programs have been uniformly well prepared. Attendance has been quite up to the standard and the underclassmen, particularly, have shown the greatest interest in the meetings. Every indication points to a successful year in 1910-11. page one thirty-iix PHILOMATHESIAN Officers Harry Swayne Lybarger . . . . President Harold George Collins Martin . . . .

Watson page one thirty-seven ALI I ERAF Y SOCIETY must be judged by results. The benefits derived from active participation in literary society work arc not always apparent to undergraduates. We need concrete examples in order to realize the practical value of these little weekly meetings. Nu Pi Kappa has a host of such examples. Each year the old graduates—some of them as far back as ’59—gather at the informal luncheon and tell us the noble history of the society, the high standards she has always followed, and, best of all, the practical benefits they have gained from Nu Pi Kappa. T hey are good speakers, too. and they like to talk; in equal measure, we students like to listen. 1 he luncheon is the best meeting in the year, full of enthusiasm and inspiration. Nu Pi Kappa once had a far wider range of influence on college life than the society has now. Chartered under the laws of the State, with considerable property, and its own library. Nu Pi Kappa had a large sphere in the social, literary and educational life at Kenyon. In the society of today, many of the social features have been assumed by the fraternities; the library has been given to enrich the college library, and the educational-literary work is furnished by a thorough and extensive department of English. But the literary interest of the society is just as great as it ever has been. This year it has taken a very practical form. It has been our aim to give ourselves ability to preside at meetings, proficiency in debate and practice in speaking on topics of local as well as general interest. With this end in view, we have had frequent drills on how to conduct meetings properly, and an efficient Program Committee has furnished live topics and pertinent questions for discussion. XX'e feel that our work has been most useful and highly practical. page one ihirly-eight NU PI KAPPA Ah Invia Hardy Cheater Morte Cable Charier B eoior� Snail Albert Blakealee Mk.tr Earl Mahaiee Maaoa Charlet Kdhourae Lard MautK Cecil Snyder Or rictus Vico-Prm dent Secretary Cntic Set grant at Arma Ml Mil R 1910 A L ardJIo R A.

Arthur Douglas Farquhar «nai forty one one Kenyon Dramatics ALTHOUGH dramatics seem to have suffered rather severely during the last year from a bad case of apathy, the apparent inactivity may be traced to several concrete causes. It was unfortunate that the Junior class was forced to impose upon its Prom, week audience a second performance of the one- act farce, Ice On Parle Francais,” but that it should do so was natural. For the past three years, the class of Nineteen Ten, partly because of natural taste for the work and partly because of a feeling of pride in all activities, has carried the entire burden of college dramatics on its shoulders. The renascence of the Puff and Powder Club, instead of reviving dramatics in the whole college served only to confirm the monoply already tacitly granted to the class. The consequence has been that other equally well qualified, but still untried men. feeling rather timid about making advances, unsolicited, to an officially recog- nized body, have been prevented from making their abilities known because of the inability of the members of the club to recognize them. There has been a deadlock, which must be broken this year or cause a second demise of the organization. The club has been severely criticised for its inactivity as a college organi- zation, having produced nothing under its own auspices since its organization in the fall of 1908. So think the members of the club, but two questions immediately arise : When? and How? I o place a good play on the boards requires, with the other multifarious duties and responsibilities laid upon the men, two full months. Rehearsals arc practically impossible until after the Christmas recess, when preparations for the Junior class-play are in full swing. Almost immediately upon the heel of Prom, parts are assigned for the Sophomore and Senior plays, which require the time of over two-thirds of the acting material in college. If three good plays can be given during the year, they are enough. Instead of an acting organization, the Puff and Powder Club should be an honorary dramatic association including in its membership those who, in the class plays, show marked ability and energy. By far the greatest part of the credit for keeping up the interest in dramatics for the past three years belongs to Walter Tunks, whose Private Secretary,” Professor Babbitt and Mr. Spriggins, will long remain in the memories of his audiences as three of the most genuinely pleasing comic interpretations ever given on the college stage. If Harry Theobald had stayed with us longer he would have been equally as well known as an organizer and manager, for his Sophomore vaudeville showed more than ordinary skill. These men made sacrifices and they accomplished results. All Kenyon dramatics need are a few more like them. page one forty-two Puff and Powder Club Officers Walter Fuller Tunks............................President Lyle Fox Emcrine, ....

After much discussion the class had decided to put on a vaudeville instead of the time-honored “class play.” 1 he wisdom of this decision was shown by the applause of the large audience of Sophomore week guests. The first number was a sketch entitled the “Littlcst Girl. Miss Dorothy West made a charming picture in the title role. Messrs. 1 odd. Haight, and Crawford took the respective roles of the “thief, the “miser,” and the “butler. Hadley Rood gave several of his whistling solos which have been enjoyed many times by Kenyon audiences. The next number was probably the hit of the evening. This consisted of Paul Barber’s High School Oration,” recited on many memorable occasions, but never so well as on this night. The entire audience was in a gale of laughter during the entire monologue. To make the performance a typical vaudeville. Mr. Wicks gave an exhibi- tion of slack wire walking. He did many of the regular stunts in an approved professional manner. After the intermission Dunny gave an exhibition of hypnotism. About fifteen carefully chosen victims were called up and put through various antics. However, Brig proved the star medium. After hypnotizing him and placing him heels and head each upon a chair-back, Dunny proceeded to break a large stone upon Brig’s chest without any seeming discomfort to the latter. The audience became a little uneasy when Prof.” Dunn seemed to have some difficulty in returning the victim to his senses. Next came the headliner,” Mile. LaFavorita (alias McCowatt) and “her eight broilers. Many of the Harcourt girls showed signs of jealously at the presence of so many strange beauties in Gambier. Messrs. Haight and Wicks then entertained the audience by resorting to mental telepathy. For a time the fickle seventh sense seemed to be out of working order but it at length returned to ensure the success of the act. Mr. Clark gave several songs. His stage manner was good and he at once brought out a round of applause. The last number was the Middle Path Double Quartet. Brother Silves, Sugar Cane and Beautiful Eyes, were sung with much harmony. page one forty-four SOPHOMORE VAUDEVILLE Rosse Hall May 22. 1909 Part One Orchestra Selection A The Littlest Girl Scene: a Library Time: near Midnight CAST The Miser..............................Mr. Haight The Thief, .......

Since that time the crude arrangements which have been at the disposal of the student body have proven all too inadequate to satisfy its needs and it is, therefore, with great satisfaction and joy that action on the part of the Board of Trustees has been responsible for a plan which will give back to the College a new and belter library department. 'I he plans furnished by Mr. C. F. Schweinfurth, Kenyon’s consulting arch- itect, consist of elevations and floor plans showing just what the new building will be. These have been in general accepted by the Board of Trustees and hence a definite working foundation has been established. The exterior of the building will bear a close resemblance to Hanna Hall, the newer of the two dormitories, and will also harmonize with the Stephen’s Stack room, which successfully weathered the fire. It will be built of white sand- stone, laid in broken ashler courses and should be a building of fine lines and beautiful proportions. The structure will be fireproof throughout. The floors will be of steel beams and tile arches, the staircases of steel and the walls and interior partitions entirely of fireproof materials. The first floor will be taken up by an entrance hall, an office for the Libra- rian, a main reading room and a magazine reading room. The main reading room will extend across the back of the building and will be two stories in height. Great cathedral glass windows will adorn the north and south ends of the room. The ceiling will be paneled in dark oak with Tudor beams and trusses so that, in general effect, it will resemble an English college hall. It will be used largely for reference work. The magazine reading room will, aside from what the name implies, be used for a students’ trophy room. A large open fire- place will lend this room charm. On the second floor there will be two seminar rooms and a large room for meetings of the Trustees, Faculty and Student Organizations. The former will be at the disposal of professors who wish to meet advanced classes in close page one levcnty-nmc proximity to the library shelves. A large open fireplace will be one of the feat- ures of the larger meeting room. Construction, equipment and furniture will necessitate an outlay of some forty or forty-five thousand dollars. The insurance money from Hubbard Hall amounts to eight thousand dollais. The Hubbard family arc glad to have this fund used in the new construction and the Board of Trustees have ordered that the old corner stone should be built into the left hand wall of the new vestibule and immediately above it will be placed a stone tablet testifying to the connection between the buildings. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has promised to give five thous- and dollars and there is reason to believe that another friend of the College will provide at least ten thousand dollars for the main reading room which will be given a name of its own. The remainder of the required amount is looked for from the Alumni subscription. In view of this fact and in recognition of the idea that a noble and handsome library building would form a most worthy monument to the generous interest of the Alumni in the academic welfare of the College, it is proposed to have the new structure called the Alumni Library.” If present plans do not miscarry, ground will probably be broken on the afternoon of Commencement Day in June. It is to be earnestly hoped that this worthy enterprise may find no obstacle to its progress and that these best laid plans” may be brought to a happy fulfillment. The Founding of the Mauve A day was near its end; the approach of night Enveloped woods and meads in deepening shades. The forest rang with melody of birds Exultant song defiant to the night. Far in the West, the lingering light of sun Emblazoned fleecy clouds with gorgeous color. Upon a hill, outlined against the sky There stood erect a solitary form Surveying in the fading light the hills And vales around. A sturdy man he was With rugged form and countenance severe Tho in his eyes a gentle kindness beamed. His staff in hand, he stood with shaded eyes Much like, in shadowy light, a giant oak So silent did he tower against the sky Upon the hilltop’s crest. 1 ’was plain in doubt He was, on some grave question that perplext And caused his brow to knit in sober thought. “O God. I pray that Thou may give me strength To choose aright; and if it is Thy will That on this hill, a college in Thy name Should rise. Oh grant to me sufficient years To accomplish my desire.” And as he prayed With face upturned, there came before his eyes A lonely cloud that hovered far above That very hill, which suddenly became A living mass of flame. At first it was Of glorious golden hue. then changed to red Then cardinal that softened into mauve W'hich lingered on, the last faint light of day. The man stood awed at such majestic sight With head bent low and eyes bedimmed with tears— Not tears of grief, but unrestrained joy And thankfulness that overflows the heart When cherished hopes and dearest dreams come true. O God. I thank Thee for Thy guiding light; Thy will be done alway.” And as he knelt, The cool enchanting air of summer night Breathed o’er the Hill a witching fragrant spell That wafted on its wings the Bishop’s prayer. page one eighty-one King Herod’s Court | 11S fest day in King Herod’s court. Around the spacious throne-room are X seated the lusty nobles y-clept Sophomores. A weird dirge announces the approach of the King and his retinue. The first to appear are two worthy guards enshrouded in white sheets and armed with a ball bat and butcher knife respectively. Taking positions opposite each other at the sides of the door-way they present arms. The king next appears. As he advances slowly and majestically with head thrown back and haughty visage, a royal, personage well worthy of the gilt paper crown on his head, something flashes as it dangles from his neck. It is a genuine pair of scissors! Ah, such wealth is only for kings! And that gorgeous, flowing gown!—a real cotton blanket, the train of which is held up by two attendants who follow along upon their hands and knees. Next the Prime Minister and then the courtiers resplendent bring up the rear. The King proceeds straightway to his throne—the davenport—in the middle of which he sits down and spreads his flowing gown over the rest of the scat. Then he raises the sceptre — a wooden spigot. All prostrate themselves before him. Hush, he speaks. King: ‘‘Hear ye! Never before has Rome had such a cause for rejoic- ing as today. Never before have we been so indebted to God Urn Cri. 1°rime Minister: “Say, rexy. what did you say we were rejoicing about?” King: ‘‘What! You my Prime Minister and know not that today the baby has a tooth? Guards! give the Prime Minister three cracks with the sacred symbol.” Romans: O King, live forever.” Prime Minister: “What’s the matter with the baby?” Romans: ”Hc’s all right.” Prime Minister: '“Who's all right?” Romans: The baby. He’s a la la. Gets there every time. Let’s all evoke the facial ripple. H—a! H—a! Ha! Ha!” King: My loyal subjects, let not your joy permit you to forget him page one eighty-two who is the cause of your joy. It is very meet and right that we should give thanks to God Um Cri at all times, especially now. Therefore let the oblations begin. Bow the knee!” The subjects kneeling in a line before a silly looking crockery head, raise their arms over their heads; then while saying Um----------------Cri---------- they gradually bend forward, until each touches the floor with his nose. Three repetitions of this constitute one oblation. As soon as the King thinks the oblations have been sufficient to please Um Cri, he says, Well done. Now let instruments of music be brought before me. Let there be dancing also. Then the Prime Minister says, O King. I would have words with thee.” King: Speak. Prime Minister: “My lord, there is a chorus girl in thy kingdom, Salome by name; fair and beautiful to look upon is she. Now, O King, if thou couldst see her tootsies trip over this floor, it would tickle thee. I swear that it would tickle thee. 0 King: But I don't know what a chorus girl is, do you? Prime Minister: Yes, but I hate to tell. King: “Then come, whisper in my ear. The Prime Minister whispers in the King’s car. King: Attendants! Bring Salome to me at once! Take my speediest elephant and be gone. Guards: O. King, already doth Salome approach.” King: Bring her to me. Salome escorted by attendants, enters. Walking to the throne, she kneels before the King. King: O say, but she’s a la la! Arise Salome dear. Come closer angel face. Oh you Salome. Prime Minister: Know, O King, that it is written in the law of the Romans, that the King shall not make love, except by proxy; that in said courtship the Prime Minister shall be the King’s agent. King: Who said so? Prime Minister: “Thus it is written in the book. King: Let me see that book. While the King reads the Prime Minister makes love to Salome. Prime Minister: Salome, you must love me instead of the King because I love you so much more than the King does; then, too, I am so much better page one cighly-threc looking than the King. The King is such a bad. bad man while I am such a good man. The King overhearing the Prime Minister’s last remark, hits him over the head with the sacred symbol, stretching him senseless on the floor. He turns to Salome and says. “Salome, at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, step it off.” Then to the rhythm of dance music, Salome begins the dance of the seven veils. The swaying veils, long black hair, necklace, bracelets, curtain rings as earrings, half skirt of sash curtain, perfume, paint and powder, command the applause of all. The King shows by his every move that he is desperately in- fatuated with Salome, and when she finally falls at his feet, he eagerly says: “Arise, Salome, dear. What wilt thou?” Then entreats Salome: “If I have found favor in thy sight, O King, and it please the King, give me, I pray thee— “Ein Beer.” Then is the King saying, “Salome, you make me sad. for there is not a dram of beer in my whole kingdom; moreover it would make thee pursy. Ask another request and it shall be thine if it be the half of my kingdom.” Salome: “O King, can it be that I have found such favor in thy sight?” King: Yea! Salome. Thou thrillest me from the tips of my kingly frizzles to the very ends of my tootsy wootsies.” Salome: “Then, O King, give me the head of ‘Jimmy’ The Low Brow. King: “Servants, obey!” Soon the servants return with a tray upon which is Jimmy’s head—a grinning porcelain head with a cigarette in its mouth. A napkin is carefully laid over the head to conceal the grewsome sight. Then bending low before Salome the servant gently withdraws the napkin as he extends to her the head. She grasps for it but quickly shrinks away trembling with horror; finally uttering a blood-curdling scream that makes both guests and Sophomores leap from their seats she falls in a faint. The horrified King leaps from his throne and rushes from the parlor. The whole court follows at his heels. The Prime Minister, however, suddenly reviving, takes advantage of the situation, kneels down and kisses the unconscious Salome several times before joining the fleeing court. Four soldiers immediately enter and bear away the lifeless Salome. The show is over. page one eighty-four The Head of Hans THE sky in the west was a sea of fire. The leafless trees on the top of the gloomy hills across the valley stood out like skeletons against its brilliancy. A fitful wind was blowing, and the clouds were sailing rapidly about the sky. An atmosphere of gloomy wildness seemed to pervade everything. I knew that I should encounter a storm before returning from my present expedi- tion, but I cared little for discomfort and less for danger, for I had an im- portant appointment to keep that night at a place some distance away. The events leading up to this appointment were very unusual. They began about two years before, soon after I had come to the small mining town in Chile, where I was now living. One night I accompanied one of my associates home from a poker game, which had lasted until the early hours of the morn- ing. When we were once in his room he locked the door, closed the blinds, and said: I have something here which I think will be of great interest to you.” Thereupon, he produced a human head, perfect in every respect so that one might easily recognize the face. And yet it was not a human head—or rather, it was the head of a dwarf, for it was no larger than an orange. It was indeed shocking and gruesome. I looked at it with astonishment and horror, although it was not my nature to be easily horrified. “Where did you get it? I asked. From the Indians,” he replied. “Back in the interior there is a tribe called Jibero, who take the bones out of the head of each of their victims and shrivel it like this. They guard the secret of their process with jealous care, and consequently no one has ever discovered it. The' tribe has succeeded in isolating itself from the rest of the world, and no one has ever penetrated into their territory and lived to return. I should like to have one of these heads for my curio collection,” said I. “I have something from almost every part of the world.” “Don’t set your heart on that. he replied. “They are dangerous things to own, and very difficult to obtain. Several men have lost their lives in the attempt. The tribe punishes anyone with death who pries into its secret, and the government of Chile also takes the harshest measures with any person who is known to possess one. I know of only one man who has ever escaped from the country with one of these trophies.” No more was said about the head. Yet I determined to obtain one, if the opportunity presented itself; and I began to consider different plans. At page one eighty-five last. I hit upon one which I thought might succeed. It was a villainous one. but that did not worry me much. I had no idea of risking my own safety. There lived in the town a poor German, a half-wit, by the name of Hans, who had lost one of his arms. I intended to persuade him, by argument and by the promise of a reward, to undertake the project for me. I planned to have him go as a trader to the border, as traders sometimes did. and there to strike a bargain, if possible, with some Indian for one of the heads. I knew that it meant great danger to him, but I persuaded myself that he would be acting of his own free will and that I should not be responsible for him. My plan would have been impractical for even a shrewd, able-bodied man, but as long as there was any possibility of his returning with a head. I was willing to send him, and he was easily persuaded to go. One morning he started off on a burro with several weeks’ provisions and some trinkets to barter with the Indians. He never returned. Whether he was lost in the wild mountain passes or killed by the Indians I did not know. At first, I was filled with remorse, and sent a party out in search of him, but this, of course, was useless. Within a month, however, I managed to forget my crime, for a crime it certainly was. At night. I would tell the story to my reckless comrades; we would take another drink and would laugh at it as a good joke on Hans. Under such influences it was not hard for me to quench my better feelings. In the latter part of August, about a year after this event, I had some dealings with a half-breed trader who lived with the Jibero tribe. I asked him once if he had ever heard anything of Hans. A queer light shone in his eyes, and he answered emphatically that he had not. I thought at the time that the scoundrel was lying. I saw, however, that here might be another opportunity to obtain one of the much-desired heads. In spite of the outcome of my first attempt, my desire to possess one was greater than ever. So I offered the half-breed a considerable sum of money if he would obtain one for me. He jumped at my proposition with more eagerness than I liked, but he said that our dealings must be secret, and demanded that instead of his bringing the head to the town, I should meet him on a certain night in the ruins of an ancient Spanish monastery which lay some distance back in the mountains. I already knew of the existence of this place, and the half-breed explained to me how to reach it. At first. I suspected that he did not intend to act in good faith; but being of a reckless disposition, I did not stop long to consider. The day of our appointment had arrived. Thus it was that I was starting out on my burro for the mountains on that wild afternoon. Soon after the sun had disappeared behind the hills, the sky became o’ercast with black clouds. As darkness set in, the trail became more and more hard to follow. In fact, I should have lost it had it not been for the lightning. It was not storming, but the sky was almost constantly lighting up with a pale. page one eighty-� ix gray light, bright enough to give one a view of the path, but faint enough to make it uncertain. Gradually, however, the weather grew worse. There were occasional thunder showers, during which I was forced to stop, for I could not see the trail at all. At such times, when the lightning was brightest, I saw that the character of the landscape had changed. Instead of the gloomy hills were bleak, gray peaks, and the trees were stunted until they were little more than shrubs. Each time I would push on with a little less assurance than I had had before. The subtle fear which the elements inspire in a man was gradually taking possession of me. I began to be startled by even the appearance of a bush at the side of the path. At last, I reached my destination. On the top of a hill, lower than the surrounding peaks, was the deserted monastery. The gray ruin, lighted by the almost incessant lightning, stood out distinctly against the livid clouds. Drenched to the skin and filled with fear, I approached the building and led my burro up under the ruinous portico. I then entered through the great doorway, and, groping my way stealthily along the wall of the corridor, afraid to make more noise than was necessary, I came to a door which seemed to lead into a smaller apartment. As I pushed it open, there was a muffled rattle of some falling sticks which had evidently been piled against it. I was startled and drew back, but reassuring myself as best I could, I finally entered, closing the door behind me to shut out the noise of the thunder. The room I was in had no other opening, for I could neither hear nor see the storm outside. It was utterly dark. I threw off some of my wet clothes, and scraping up part of the straw which I felt beneath my feet. I threw myself down on it to rest. I soon fell into a troubled sleep, and had a dream which thoroughly terrified me. I can recall it but dimly now. There seemed to be a person who was neither Hans the half-wit, not the man who had first shown me the head, but a combination of both. Sometimes he was like the former, sometimes like the latter. I remember, however, that he had but one arm. I cannot recall what he did or said, except that he rebuked me, and warned me of something. I was suddenly awakened in the midst of this dream by a noise outside. I jumped to my feet and started for the door, but before I could reach it. it was opened and the figure of the half-breed appeared. He had come to keep his appointment. In one hand he carried a torch, the head dangled by the hair from the other. I heard the roar of the rain and thunder and saw the flash of the lightning; a cold draft swept past me. chilling my very bones. He gave me the head, and trembling with terror and horror. I held out toward him the money I had offered for it. He refused to take it. but simply pointed to the hand in which I held the head. Look, he said in Spanish. I looked and beheld the shriveled, shrunken face of Hans, his wrinkled skin, heavy eye-brows, and glassy, glaring eyes. My gaze was held by his awful features, as if they were a charm. My heart page one cighty-seN'en sank and my whole form quivered like a leaf. When I finally looked up the trader was pointing toward something behind the door. I saw, to my horror, that the sticks which had rattled on the floor were the bones of a perfect skeleton; but no, not perfect, for the skull and the bones of one arm were missing. The skeleton of Hans. The blood rushed to my head, and the beating of my heart seemed almost to jerk me off my feet. I had pried too far into the secret of the tribe, and the punishment was death. Then the leering grin of the dog before me broke into a devilish laugh. He had approached closer and had drawn a long dirk which he held above his head ready to strike, torturing me as a cat teases a mouse. But he waited a moment too long. As he brought his arm down I swung the ghastly head in my hand at him with all my might. It struck him squarely in the face. Utter- ing a cry, he fell to the floor. His torch set fire to the straw, and by the flicker- ing light I saw his knife buried deep in his own side. I gave him a blow in the side of the head with my heavy boot, and leaping over his body I ran out the door, onto the portico, and out into the raging storm, not stopping until I had run some fifty yards down the hill. Then I threw myself under a bush to hide, —from nothing in particular, just simply to hide. I lay there for at least a half hour. At last I arose. The storm had ceased for the time being; everything was dark and silent, except for the rumbling of the thunder. Not knowing what else to do, I started up toward the monastery to get my burro. When I had covered over half the distance a sudden succession of blinding flashes illuminated the scene. I caught a glimpse of the portico, and before me on the steps stood the figure of the dead man, with the knife in his side and the head dangling from his hand. The rain came down in floods; a tremor ran through my frame; I turned and rushed blindly down the hill. Every object now seemed to take the form of the half-breed. I dared not look back for fear that I should sec him following, and I dared not stop for fear he would overtake me. Once, however, from sheer exhaustion, I did sit down on a rock to rest. A nearby bush suddenly took his form. The blood gushed from a hole in the side of his head and ran down his face; in one hand still dangled the head; with the lean forefinger of the other he pointed onward down the hill. I arose and fled on. The phantom haunted me incessantly. So I ran and walked until I could go no further, and then I threw myself on the ground and slept. When I awoke it was just dawning. The air was clear and fresh and the storm had spent its force, but the sky was still overcast. I looked toward the east. In the fantastic clouds I saw a perfect image of the head of Hans. page one eighty-eight Vacation Ye summer orchestras that fill The fields with fair]) flute and cello, Play soft, and your shrill music still To sounds more murmurously mellow.

W. page one cighly-nine Confessions of a Safe Blower WHEN Buck wiped his spectacles, brushed an imaginary speck of dust off his Norfolk, shuffled his cards and began a two hours’ lecture upon Anthropology, I grew interested. The rest of the boys sat up and took notice, too, Russell even going so far as to take notes on the back of an old envelope. We listened to Lombroso’s theory of heredity and atavism and Buck read from card 869 the various types of criminal faces. Instinctively I glanced up from the cartoon that I was executing of Sieg- christ and found that every eye in the room met mine. I caught Kinder men- tally contemplating the size of my ears and Satan taking a perspective measure- ment of my cranium with a fountain pen. At first I took this searching scrutiny as a good joke and I flattered myself that the rest of the boys didn’t have much on me. But it began to grow serious when Buck mentioned the criminal’s scanty beard, for the evidence against me was disconcerting. I regretted the whim that had impelled me to attempt a Lenten moustache. Buck went on with his Sherlock Holmes observations and I felt pretty uncomfortable the next time I looked up from my cartoon. Wiseman and the Duke were exchanging glances and I felt that they had just come to some im- portant decision about myself from the knowing expression they assumed. I had no doubt that the whole class was shuddering at my past history, and all the dark corners of my life flooded into my mind and I sank down into the bottom of my cane bottomed chair in despair. I recalled the night on which my roommate and I switched a cow from some old boy's barn, and after infinite trouble enticed it into Ascension Hall and finally anchored it to the table in Tite’s room. Whether at that moment Russell actually read my thoughts I have never determined, for I always have a hard lime in distinguishing when he really has an idea and when he is only bluffing. At any rate he seemed to read my thoughts and my only consolation was the fact that it wasn’t his barn I had pilfered and if I remembered correctly he was one of the gang that assisted the cow to the third floor. There also came to my mind the blackness of the night on which I assisted page one ninety my worthy classmates smuggle the chairs out of Pete’s classroom and drop them into the pearly Kokosing. Sanderson glued his eyes on me, grinned, and I was glad that he was one of the motley crew who had sacrificed his damage deposit for that stunt. I stared back at him until he got out that inevitable pen and resumed his perspective measurements of my cranium. Buck was just telling the boys that very few criminals have red hair. I have always made it a rule never to contradict the Dr. and if he says that the moon is made of green cheese, I take it all in good faith without a question. But on this occasion I was tempted to tell Buck that only that very morning 1 had seen Thurstin beat Devil out of $16 on a term bill without a twinge of conscience. And I recalled that Charley Staunton had haunted Red Shcdd’s doorway for three weeks, trying to collect a two year’s laundry bill. I asked Buck if there were any exceptions to the rule and he referred me to card No. 13618, which admitted that there were possible exceptions. This, I decided, accounted for the two Reds that I knew. I returned to my sketch but meanwhile my subject had shifted his position and was now tearing olf a little nap holding his Sit Lux over his eyes. It was my painful duty to kick him on the shins and bring him back from Fostoria while Buck was absorbed in an important discovery on one of the cards he had overlooked in his first shuffle. “Criminals are habitually la7.y, proverbially conceited, and very fond of bright colors.’’ Charley woke up just in time to hear the habitually lazy’’ and he immediately apologized to Buck for his drowsiness, explaining how he had spent most of the preceding night in reading his text-book. I couldn’t suppress my tendency to laugh and I was sorry when I perceived that it annoyed the Dr. Buck repeated his discovery again and then for the first time I realized what bad company I was in. According to Buck’s cards, I might have im- agined myself at a convention of safe blowers; Bruce Hall flaunted a pair of hose second only in loudness to Wiseman’s magna cum laude vest; Kinder’s tic was deep red, and Russell’s could hardly be called dispassionate. Until that moment I had never thought very much of my own modest white wash tie, but then I wouldn’t have exchanged it for any in the room. Buck’s included. It was an awful thing to feel my confidence in those fellows slipping inch by inch and to have the realization forced upon me that these fellows with whom I was so well acquainted were all criminals at heart. But my compas- sionate thoughts were ruddy jarred by a loud and unexpected laugh from the page one ninety-one Duke, who had just arrived on a slow freight and was appreciating the joke on Sicgchrist. Buck thought that the outburst was directed towards his own remarks and he joined in the general laughter. When Russell had sufficiently recovered to resume his notes on the envelope. Buck shuffled the cards again and started on a new track. Sanderson yawned and I noticed to my horror that his arms reached about to the ceiling, one of the most marked characteristics of a porch climber. Just then the chimes boomed out the quarter hour and I was glad that the performance closed before some one was proven a murderer. The Duke lingered on to tell Buck how much he enjoyed the lecture, but the rest of the rabble quickly dispersed, each convinced that he had spent an evening in a rendezvous of crooks. I left Hitchie’s house with a pretty pessimistic view of mankind and on reaching the dormitory 1 systematically avoided my room mate lest I should find him pilfering my box of stogies or stealing my bath soap. I quietly slipped into bed and spent a horrible night in dreams of lank jawed jimmy artists and crooked nosed murderers. Just as I was assisting Sanderson and Kinder to escape with a bunch of swag after leading a squad of detectives a merry chase over the roof of a bank, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of breaking glass and a creaking window. My blood froze in my veins when in the dim light I beheld a man in a slouch hat climb through my window with a kit of tools. Closing my eyes and feigning sleep. I sized up the fellow and applied to him all of Buck’s tests. The color test wouldn’t work, for he didn’t wear any tie, but the lank jaws, scanty beard and large cars were terribly convincing. 1 he kit of tools justified my worst fears and I broke out into a cold perspiration. By this time, however, I was fully awake, and then I discovered the identity of the man in the slouch hat. There on the window seat, calmly philosophizing to himself, stood Andrew Bickle, erstwhile citizen of Gambier, village promoter and sometime carpenter of these institutions, preparing to replace the broken pane in my window. And to make my confession complete. I will admit that I exemplified my four years’ association with college janitors by language exactly suitable to the occasion. page one ninely-two The Physicist’s Airship THE hour of six o’clock, on a certain morning last summer found me at breakfast and debating what the day could offer in the way of diver- sion. The decision was made for me. Suddenly the telephone, in an adjoining room, tinkled, and answering the call, I was greeted by the familiar voice of one of my professors. Come over to the house at once,” was the extent of the message and before I could answer, bang, went the receiver and I was left wildly curious as to the cause of such an imperious summons. Being acquainted, as I was, with the various hobbies and theories of the in- structor in question, I rather expected to receive, on my arrival, an enthusiastic lecture on the “feclomcter or the news on his final calculations on the theory, that meteoric matter retards the earth. Hastily finishing my breakfast, I hurry toward his residence and much surprised. I find there a large assemblage of Gambier folk and the Kenyon faculty ”en masse. The latter coterie arc doing most of the talking so I hurry up to the group and anxiously inquire how the horrible event happened. Horrible? I do not catch your meaning, Mr. B---------------. Nothing hor- rible has happened. But here comes the genius and I must speak to him.” So speaks the first man I address and turning, my eye meets an object which I never expected to see in the quiet, secluded village of Uambier. I ruly, I felt like a second Rip Van Winkle, for there like a huge pile of snow lay a white body, which slowly taking shape before my astonished gaze, assumes the form of an airship—a balloon—call it what you will to me in my utter bewilderment, it could have been anything. Finally recovering from the shock, I elbow my way to the front of the throng in time to see a door of the inventor’s house open, and the genius come forth, faultlessly attired and his few sandy hairs carefully parted in the middle. A murmur of applause greets him, but ceases as he begins to speak. Gentlemen, you sec here the culmination of ten years of labor on my part and because I wish to make you participants in the glory with which this inven- tion will be hailed by the scientific world, I have invited you to be present at the initial flight of this ship. Any questions which the members of the faculty desire to ask, I will be pleased to answer.” After enduring a half-hour’s fusillade of questions and comments, the inventor consults his watch and remarks that the time has arrived for the trial trip. His call for volunteers to accompany him is answered by three members page one ninety-three of the faculty stepping forward and offering their services. I modestly prof- fered myself and w'as accepted. The three faculty volunteers were put to test, however, and were asked to show cause why they should not be left behind. Immediately one of the unafraid steps forward and with his ever-present raincoat on his arm, addresses the inventor in a rambling way—“Um, um, I don’t know as I really care about going (lights a cigarette) on this trip. Fact is, (puff) I’m no- much of a mechanic (puff, puff) except in printing (puff). But I’m great on poetry (puff) and if you believe in the buoyancy (puff) of real hot air in verse, let me (puff) be judged by the following. To An Airship Ethereal Traveler, Pilgrim of the Sl(y! Dost thou despise this earth and puny man And while thy wings aspire, secl( regions high? No, no, thy purpose nobler, otherwise thy plan. O Winged Creature, sailing through the air May breezes, thee to foreign havens waft And fdl thy purpose; regions lay thee bare And dip your colors to none other craft. After such a composition, all arc hushed for a moment and then the next volunteer breaks the silence and stepping forth with many gyroscopic gestures impetuously exclaims, My dear inventor, we mathematicians have long asserted fourth dimensional space. I desire, therefore, to make this flight in order to secure some necessary data.” Hard upon this comes a deep bass voice saying, “I do not know whether Economics would be aided by my flight in the upper ether but I am willing to go for the advancement of Science and the Civic Club, ‘Ab honesto virum bonum—’ (greatly embarrassed), I thank you.” Our noble inventor, with a glance of disappointment directed at his fellow professors, says. I do not feel as tho I can take any of you but will make the trip with Mr. B— and Lorghrctto Alvinus, the college mechanician. This blow fell like a thunderbolt on the ears of the three volunteers who were further embarrassed by the rendering of a song from the rear of the crowd. “I don’t belong to the regulars. I’m only a volunteer.” The crowd watches with great suspense as the three of us enter the ship. When we arc seated, the inventor pulls a lever and I fairly hold my breath. The engine hums. The craft begins to rest more lightly on the ground and the inventor, after tugging at six or seven lever, cries. Now we arc off.” As if mocking him, there is a whistling noise of escaping air and the ship settles back to earth. The crowd, apparently with one voice, cries: FIZZ—LE.” page one ninety-four Letters a la Morpheus ONE by one the lights had gone out in Hanna Hall and Old Kenyon, until the only room lighted was that of a Senior working on his thesis long overdue. In different parts of the dormitories, four men, a Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman, wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, dreamed that each had just received an unexpected letter. To you, dear reader, we will give them in the order as named above. Note from the Secretary of Phi Beta Kappa to the College Cut-up: | Editor’s Note.- The Cut-up is a Senior by virtue of the fact that he has spent four years on the hill.] My Dear Mr. Will Perhaps Pass: “I have the honor of notifying you that you have been selected as the only Senior on whom the Phi Beta Kappa key will be conferred this year. You are asked to prepare an article on ‘Why Mt. Vernon Should Be Wet’ for the next meeting. You should be full—of details on this point. “Your grades entitling you to membership in this august body were just on the edge and you owe your election to the Registrar of the College. It was due to his well known kindness in making you take a course in your Freshman year in which you will never be interested that you are now a member of the Chosen People. The local chapter will have a social session in the gravel pit some time in the near future. Congratulating you again, I am. Yours, Fat. A letter from Bemis Pierce to one of last year’s scrubs: Dear Sam: “Maybe you should not leave college. I hear you will do it. Perhaps you arc making a mistake. Be a man. You play good ball this year only you were nervous. Next year sure you make team—maybe Captain. Then you make all-Ohio team if you stick. Last year sometimes fellows played like high school kids. Next year much different. Be on hand sure. Please remember me to Bob Castile. Yours. Bemis. page one nineiy-five A letter from a father who has been slightly penurious in respect to his “only son’s” allowance: Dear Boy: Inclosed find check for $100. This ought to last you the rest of the week, but if you need any more do not fail to telegraph. I have sent you to college to get a free and liberal education, and to do this you must spend money. Last semester you returned to me some money which remained after you paid your term bill. My son, that was unworthy of you. It looked as if you thought I needed the money. “The Winton agent was here last week. I ordered the new model to be sent to you at Gambicr. The only thing I ask of you is to run over that one- eyed bull dog that took a piece out of my trousers last Commencement. According to your last letter you were compelled to spend a week end on the Hill. This will never do, and lest it should happen again I shall raise your allowance fifty dollars a week. This will start with your next check. I received the grades you had jotted down in your last letter. You did very well, but you should try to bring those fours up to fives. “With love. “Your proud father, “John Parker Morgan.” “P. S.—When the machine arrives you had better drop a couple of studies, for I want you to get lots of exercise.” A letter from a girl to a Kenyon Freshman: “My Dearest John: “Your loving letter answered a yearning on my part to hear from you. Since you left I have done nothing but mope and long for you. I am glad to know that you are so popular among the fellows there and are doing so well in your studies. However, you know that I predicted as much last summer when we strolled happily along in the moonlight. Are you sure there are no girls in Gambier? I have heard that those Harcourt girls are stupid and horrid. Did you meet any of them at the President’s reception? Now, John dear. I think that a boy in college ought not to fall in love or pay too much attention to girls, because he will fall behind in his work and regret it as long as he lives. “Jack asked me to go to the Assembly dance the other day but I refused, knowing that I could not enjoy myself without you. Please don’t study too hard, for I fear you will have nervous prostration if you do. Hoping to hear from you tomorrow, I remain. Lovingly. “Geniveve.” page one ninety-� ix A Spring Day at Kenyon OU I of a good sound sleep you are aroused at a quarter of seven by the sharp clang of the big bell rung by the Monitor. You decide to wait until the bell is through ringing and then get up. Then you think it is a whole hour before chapel and there is no hurry, so you doze off once more and oh! the deliciousness of that last nap, better than the whole night's sleep, because you know it ought not to be taken. Then you are completely awakened and jump up with a start by a cry from your roommate, “It is ten after seven and you will have to hurry. You scramble into your clothes, take a hurried wash and a few dabs at your hair. Last night you had fully determined to put on a clean shirt and collar, but now lack of time makes you jerk on the same old soft shirt, though already it is in fit condition for Charlie Stanton. You grab up the book you need for an eight o’clock class and start up the path at a walk that is almost a marathon gait. You throw your book down beside a tree and hurry on. Passing through the gates as the chimes strike seven-thirty, you go to breakfast up town. You bolt” your corn flakes and eggs on toast and a cup of coffee which burns all the way down. Then out on the path you run all the way to Chapel, getting there just in time. Out of breath you sink into your seat and go through the service almost mechan- ically. After it is over comes a nervous strain of suspense as to whether Fat will say anything. You never know until you are actually dismissed by his nod but what he will make announcement of some special class he wants to meet. You walk down the path at a much slower gait than you went up to breakfast and go to your eight o’clock class. This over you go back to your room to do some studying, for you still have a ten and eleven o’clock. But you find a Freshman has just brought the mail down and there are two letters for you, one from home and one from her.” Business first, you tear open the one from home and find the long expected check. This puts you in fine condition of mind for hers. Again turning to the one from home you read it through and then figure just how many of your debts the check will cover and where it can be applied to best advantage. Exhausted with the hopeless task of page one ninety-seven making all ends meet, you turn to “hers” once more for consolation and find it. You read it slowly and dream over it and suddenly you are astonished to hear the ten o’clock bell without the next two classes prepared, but then they are French 4 and International Law and you get through fairly well. These over, it is dinner lime and you can loaf over this meal. But you have to get back to Benny’s English at one o'clock. After tell- ing him that you have not your theme quite finished but will mail it to him that evening, you try to get in a comfortable position on the hard chairs, and keep your mind on the discourse of Plato, the purest example of exposition, etc., etc. But it is too much, the big dinner you have just eaten and the extreme dryness of the book combine to make sleep the only thing worth while and you doze off. Called on to read, some kind friend shows you the place and you try to put a lot of expression into something you can’t make any sense out of. From two on you play tennis for a couple of hours and then watch base- ball practice. A good cold refreshing shower bath and at last you put on the planned clean shirt and collar and are in fine shape for supper. You loaf around up town for an hour or so, getting some strawberries and ice-cream at the bakery. You get the baseball scores from Dickey Doolittle and saunter slowly down to College. You hear a couple of fellows playing mandolins around the Prayer Cross and you join them, lying at ease on the grass you smoke your pipe, tell a few stories, join in a few songs till the new moon has set behind the hills. About now, you first remember Benny’s theme but put it off till next week because of the more pressing importance of an abstract for Fat’s history the next morning which must be gotten out ‘‘in order that your further connection with the class may not be severed.” You spend nearly two hours untangling the legal phrases in some eminent jurist’s account of the Com- promise of 1850 and reading the portrayal of some suave, astute, urbane, ingratiating character. Now you go to bed. feeling at peace with the world and with the love of Kenyon increased in your heart through the day of work and play which you have just passed through. page one ninety-eight Fourth Kenyon Revolution Mar. 10.

CAMBIER, O., Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1909. DFAR DAD:—Well at last I have become a college man, but from what I have seen so far of the men here at Kenyon I think I would rather be back in the office with you. for there I could at least have a little my own way. Our train arrived here at 1:30 in the afternoon and I had company most of the way, so that I did not have much time to read Paradise Lost which you bought for me yesterday. The company consisted of two Kenyon men who got on at Columbus but who tormented me all the time. I believe had I not remembered your advice I would have slapped one of them for being so rude to me. But I overlooked most of their remarks and by the time the brakeman called out Cambier I was mighty glad to get off. I was the first one to set foot upon the station platform and with suitcase in hand I started to look around to get my bearings. All of a sudden a lanky, pointed featured fellow with a pipe in his face, dashed up to me, grabbed my hand and shook it so hard that it very nearly broke the diamond ring which you and mamma gave me for being valedictorian of my class. He asked me what my name was, and when I said it was “Lavender Dearfoot, Jr.,” he very nearly fell over from laughing, but I couldn’t see anything funny in it. I told him that I was going to enter the college here and asked him if he would be so kind as to show me where 1 could find Mr. Peirce, the President. At that he shoved me into a bus standing nearby and told the driver, I think he called him Jack, to hurry us both up to Fat’s house. Well, I didn’t know what that meant, so I kept still while we drove up a long road to a little building which I know from the sign to be the hotel. We went into the house and after eating a little (I was so nervous I couldn’t eat much) wc started down towards college, as he said. We passed many fellows on our way who stopped and told me to introduce myself, which I did as politely as I could, keeping in mind page two hundred ihe rules of etiquette which you told me were proper. Finally we came to a building, which he called Ascension, and were taken upstairs to a little room in which were many arm chairs and a long table. This was the Registrar’s office, and as I entered I heard some fellow whisper to me, “That is Mr. Barker over there, you just go and tell him your troubles. So I managed to crowd my way over to the gentleman with glasses and told him I wanted to enter the Freshman class, at which he said, “What is your name?” in such a gruff old voice that I nearly fainted with terror. By the time I had finished answering all of his questions I was so fussed that I did not know where I was and was mighty glad to get downstairs and out into the air. Mr. Barker had given me a paper with my studies marked thereon and as I stood there reading it two fellows, whom I had never met, came up and told me it was time to go to Chapel for the opening exercises. So I went and everything went all right until the Chapel service was over, but as I came out of the church a bunch of Sophs, told me to get in line, which I did. with the rest of the fellows who were Freshmen, and then they made us walk down the “Path lock step and singing a song the words of which I don’t dare to tell you. Upon reaching the campus in front of Old Kenyon we formed a circle and were forced to play Ring Around the Rosie.” Drop the Flankerchicf” and other games which seemed so childish for me now’. This lasted about a half hour and by that time it was growing dark and time for supper. So we slipped back to the hotel again and had a good meal, but it wasn't like the meals that mother cooks at home. Oh, how shall I ever stand it down here? It is so awfully lonesome. After supper, not having been seen by any Sophomores. I slipped off to my room and retired. Will write to you again when I am not so nervous. Lovingly yours. Lavender Dearfoot, Jr. Sunday Evening. My Dear Mother:—Three awful days have passed since my letter to dad on Wednesday and I don’t believe I ever could go through another such time again. To start at the beginning, I will tell you about the minstrel show which the Freshmen had to give for the Sophomores on Thursday evening. I didn’t even know anything about it until after supper that night when some nervy fellow came up and said I should be made up and at Rosse Hall by page two hundred one seven-thirty. I asked him what I was to do but he just said to wait and see. Well, when seven-thirty came your son, together with forty other frightened Freshmen, was leaning up with face towards the wall of the Gym., awaiting the command of the Sophs. My turn did not come for some time and I was certainly glad of that, although my heart went out in pity for some of the fellows who went before me. One fellow had to sing a song called, In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree.’’ which I had never heard before, while another Freshman gave his commencement oration and I thought to myself that if they only would ask me to give my high school speech I certainly would make a hit. But no such luck. 1 was to be the horse upon whose back a little Freshman called Texas was to lasso other fellows who played the part of steers upon their hands and knees. I didn't enjoy that performance very much and when it was all over and they told us to “beat it you can bet your life that I did. Friday found me very tired and worn out, but I managed to keep out of the sight of the Sophomores until evening, when by accident I ran right into the midst of a big bunch of them. Of course, I couldn’t resist and so I was forced, much to my embarrassment, to give my high school yell and to say things which I had never said before. About eight o’clock that evening, while I was trying to translate some German for one of the professors whom I heard called “Tile,” a couple of fellows, who said they were Juniors, came into my room and told me to get on some old clothes and to go with them. I did so and was soon with a bunch of Freshmen who had gathered behind the score board down on the football field. Goodness but I was scared. I didn’t know what was happening but I stood around as the others did until we all started to walk. We walked and walked and walked, through woods, fields, across bridges and over fences until finally after about three hours of this tiresome traveling we reached an old barn which was to be our bed for the night, so the Juniors said. All of this was being done to keep the Sophs, from capturing and tying us up which would keep us from being in the grand cane rush next day. You cannot imagine, mother, what a restless night I had trying to sleep out there on that dirty old straw which didn’t soften the hard boards very much. Anyway, the night passed and by ten o’clock in the morning we had been fed by the Juniors, who brought out some coffee and bread from town. About two o’clock wc marched back to Gambier and the cane rush took place about four. Well, to make a long story short, we won the rush and I certainly was happy, although my face was beyond recognition when I got through. After page two hundred two the rush I went to bed, being very tired, but when I got up this morning I felt much better, even though all of my joints creaked whenever I tried to walk. I went to my first Sunday service this morning, in which most of the fellows around me slept, but I kept awake by reading a newspaper which I happened to find in my overcoat pocket. I know that you will not like this sort of business of reading a paper in church, but really, mother I couldn’t stay awake any other way. Will write to you again soon. Must also write to Lillian tonight, so will say good-bye. Your affectionate son. Lavender. P- S.—I suppose that since we won the cane rush the Sophs, will not bother us any more now. Am not feeling near so homesick as I was at first. By the way. I saw something awful today. I was walking down the path when I happened to see one of the professors, whom they call Pete, rolling a cigarette. At first I doubted my senses but I watched him farther and behold, he lit and smoked it. Mad I known that the professors would set such awful examples for the students I would not have come down here. Isn’t it terrible? L. Thursday Afternoon. Dear Brother John:—I have finally got down to a little studying and find that the college life is not so bad after all. Our teachers are so different here than in high school and they have such queer names: Gumshoe, Bugs and Shylock, for instance. Our English teacher, whose class I attended first thing this morning, and who seems to be a very important, chubby little fellow, told us the very first thing that we would have to write a composition upon “Why I Came to Kenyon.” I would rather have had him give us as a subject “Why I Would Like to Leave Kenyon. I could have found more reasons. I said in my last letter that since we won the cane rush I thought the Sophs, would not bother us so much, but that was a sad mistake. They are even worse than before. Only this morning I had to run down the Middle Path, jumping high into the air, and at every third jump exclaim with my hand upraised, Cuckoo, cuckoo. We had our first football rally Monday night, and I certainly believe that they have great college spirit here at Kenyon. The captain, coach and several of the professors made speeches and after they had finished the fellows stood page two hundred three around the great bonfire whi h the Freshmen had built in front of Old Kenyon, smoking and talking among themselves. We play our first football game next Saturday and I will have t-° 8ct out my lessons on Sunday so as to attend, although I know father's attitude towards studying on the Sabbath. I have decorated my ro om with the pictures which mother sent from home and I don’t feel the least bit fhomesick now. Will expect a letter from you soon. Yours, with brotherly love. Lav. Dear Dad:—Well, Wvc won our first football game and I am simply crazy with excitement. Coufld hardly study at all yesterday. Harcourt, the girls’ sch'°°!� opened Friday and I saw the girls in church yesterday, but as they were i n the gallery I could not get a close look at them. However, from a distance t y looked very pretty, but I doubt if anyone of them can compare with Lilli'30- How I miss her! Yesterday afternoon my roommate and myself took a walk into the country and I certainly enjoyed it. It was so different from the grime and smoke of Cincinnati. Today I heard the fellows talking of an S. C. I. I asked them if I might become a member and they told me that I would be initiated with the rest of the Freshmen soon. I think that it is a good society and that you will approve of my joining it. Must close and do som studying for tomorrow. As ever, your devoted son. Lavender Dearfoot, Jr. Friday Night. Dear Dad:—I am wiping to have you send me some more money, as that which you gave me is all gone. 1 here are so many expenses at first down here: books, football tickets, etc. Everything is going fine and I ought to stand well in my studies at th end of this semester. I don’t think the Sopho- mores are so bad after all. 1° haste. Your son, L. D. page two hundred four Contributors to The Reveille ART Paul Hann, 1910 Mark C. Kinney, 1910 Carlos Haas Alan G.
