We know that it has faults in both respects, which we lack either the ability or the resources to correct. This fact, however, is not a source of regret to us. I he object of this book is to be an interesting picture and an accurate record of the past year on the Mill. We have sincerely tried to fulfill this purpose, and believe we have met with moderate success. In giving our book to Kenyon men and those who are interested in Kenyon, we ask for no other concession than that they bear in mind the object of our efforts and judge our work accordingly. In two instances we have drawn on former Reveilles for ma- terial. We gladly extend the same privilege to the unfortunate publishers of future Reveilles, and urge them to accept it if they find anything worthy of republishing in this book. We wish to acknowledge the help we have received from Canon Watson, from Mr. C. Coles Philips, who permitted us to use several pictures drawn by him some time ago, and from many other sources too numerous to mention here. «NME College Life: .rich in pastime, cheered With mirth and pranks and laughter-stirring jest.” A quotation from Wordsrvortix.

Her sons go out into the world glad that they are not as other men are. and gratefully ascrib- ing the difference to their Alina Mater. This individ- uality developed naturally out of the isolation of the college. Founded in what was then a wilderness and cut off from outside influence, Kenyon was thrown in upon herself, and. as it were, was stewed in her own juice. The impulses and aspirations of one generation of college men became the inviolable traditions of the next, and no college was ever more fortunate in its traditions than Kenyon. The Kenyon men of the first few decades set a high standard in scholarship, in their literary societies and in their careers after graduating. The activities of Kenyon have changed since the days of Stanton and Hayes. No more do we celebrate Washington’s Birthday nor do the literary societies hold the commanding position that once was theirs. But the tradition of excellence persists, and altho Kenyon engages in all of the important activities of a big university, she responds to their demands in a highly creditable way. It is, of course, difficult to maintain five athletic teams and the musical clubs, publish the Collegian and Reveille, and give a prom and hop and the festivi- ties of commencement week with an enrollment of less than a hundred students. Frequently work must be done by men with no especial fitness for it. The editor of the Collegian, also, may have to drop an editorial to go out for football practice, or the basket ball captain may stay up later than is consistent with good training in order to write a paper for Philo. But this does not. on the whole, lower the standard of our activities, for this difficulty and the lack of special musical, literary or athletic ability is overcome by the zeal with which the work is done. From the standpoint of the individual engaged, moreover, the system is nearly ideal, for every man in college is engaged in some kind of work not included in the curriculum. Thus Kenyon’s environment and inherited traditions have made her unique. She is small, but she is a college among many, a college which in the past has sent forth capable and cultured men. and which, we believe, will continue to do so in the future. Ascension Hall Up old Ascension’s winding stair We climb day after day; As in some fairy castle where. To find the secrets hidden there. Enchanted pilgrims stray. And up a tower’s spiral climb, Forgetting all external time. Forever and a day. Sometimes from out an opened door Strange languages arc heard; Sweet words which past the Ausonian shore Went singing through the ocean's roar; Or, tones by time preferred. The gutturals of a harsher speech. Which north-men giumbled. each to each. Borrowed from beast and bird. Sometimes through windows small and round We glimpse a wondrous world. A continent whose deeps profound Arc all within a pin-point bound. Where still are flags unfurled From tower-top and sieger’s tent. As if in life’s least rudiment Familiar war lies curled. At night we catch the light of stars 1 hrough loop-holes set above; Perhaps the ruddy light of Mars Mashing from spears and scimitars. Perhaps the star of Love. 1 hen labor seems of small account. And onward then our spirits mount. As lightly as a dove. So up Ascension’s winding stair We climb for things afar; As in some fairy castle where Entwining steps obscurely dare 1 he heights where splendors are. Perhaps in some ecstatic noon. Or under some full-orbed moon. We shall attain a star. O. E. W. • V - V ■ Kiiihtriu B I he Rev. William Foster Peirce, R. A., M. A., I.. H. D.. D. D.

Twenty-tueo ______.__________________________________________ Ticcnty-thrce The Past Year in the Assembly The assembly is the governing body of the students of Kenyon College. It enjoys the power of final decision in questions relating to student activities, and decides questions relating to student life, being subject, however, to certain regu- lations of the Trustees. During the past year, in addition to its regular routine business, it has had an unusual number of important questions to decide. At the beginning of the year the scarcity of material for the football team led to an agitation in favor of playing freshmen. After much discussion, both in the Assembly and on the campus, a resolution was presented to the Ohio Conference, requesting that the one-year rule be not enforced in colleges whose enrollment contained less than a certain number of students. It is expected that definite action will be taken by the conference in connection with this resolution at its spring meeting. Soon after this matter had been thus settled, the question of al olishing the professional coaching system came up and is still under discussion. Such a change will tend to free our athletics from any taint of professionalism and will place Kenyon in the lead among Western colleges in the fight for clean athletics. Besides these many questions of equal importance, such as the abolishing of hazing and the question of a college commons, are at present under con- sideration by the Assembly, and will probably be decided before the end of the year. Twenty-four The Dormitory Committee The function of the Dormitory Committee is to supervise the dormitories in a general way. but particularly to enforce the rule of the Trustees which forbids the use of liquor on college grounds or in college buildings. 1 he com- mittee is elected by the Assembly.

It investigates and punishes any abuse of the system reported to it; but as the system is almost never abused, the necessity for the exercise of this function has arisen only very rarely.

Chorus rs.-iv- . -v w : c.- Ticciifv-iiiiie FI of the Class of 1912 came to Kenyon in a glorious year. In athletics and in scholarship Kenyon was leading. The spirit of Kenyon came upon us and we began to love the Old Hill, its traditions, its associations, all that our Alma Mater stands for. Early our mother gave us her best ideals. We were proud to be Kenyon men. The first three years of our college life were full of noveltyjuid were marked by our growth and achievement. There was little that we could do for Kenyon in our Freshman year, except to be good freshmen. We took our hazing like men and experienced more fun in being hazed than in hazing. We learned our duty to our college and our duty toward ourselves. We came through that year a united class, never to be divided. Our Sophomore and Junior years found us stepping into places left vacant by the great men who had pro- ceeded us. At first we somewhat doubted our capacity to bear the burdens they had handed down to us, but success gave us confidence. We found ourselves and our abilities. And now we are seniors. A few days and our college life will be behind us and we will be enrolled among the Alumni. We are ambitious to take our places in the business world, but we are sorry to leave all that has made life so dear. We are not afraid of life's approaching burdens, but we regret our passing freedom. We have given much of our thought and energy to Kenyon, but she has returned to us a hundred fold. We have incurred a debt that we can never pay. The Faculty have given us of their wisdom, patience and kindness. The frank intercourse with our fellows has laid bare our faults and discovered our talents. The peculiar spirit of Kenyon, generous, cultured, honorable, envelops us as we leave the portals of our Alma Mater. How proud we arc to be Kenyon men.

CLASS SONG—(Words by Canon Watson) I Say. have you seen how the Class of Thirteen Is a tragical sight to view? For its ill-omened name, in the annals of fame. Will attest a plain case of hoodoo— Hoodoo! It’s a dreadful state, to be frowned on by fate. But it’s all of it legally due I o the working unseen of the number Thirteen, As of course is well known to you. REFRAIN Good signs or bad signs arc all the same to us! Hearts without fear make hearts victorious! This is our watch word, against the unfojseen. We’re the unconquerable Class of Thirteen! II Some will be rich, it’s a destiny which Is enough to make anyone sad! And misfortune, perhaps, for a few of us chaps. I o our miseries marriage may add— loo bad! T ill the mid-night’s ridge we shall have to play bridge. Or it’s whatever else is the fad! And it’s three meals a day till we’re all of us gray— And so how can a chap feel glad? REFRAIN III Some of the class will most probably pass. Although strange it may seem to be; And as likely as not ’twill be somebody’s lot Io get “one” in the place of a ’’three!”— Whoop-cc! And you may presume twill be somebody’s doom To display a big Phi Beta key; So it's clear to be seen, it’s the number Thirteen Which has made all of these things be! REFRAIN .hm •A Thirty-tcvcn K } The history of Nineteen-Thirteen has been notable for two reasons: an un- usually large proportion of its original members has left college: and the failure of the Gambier Banking Company has placed obstacles in its way which have been hard to overcome. In spite of these two things however, it has held its head above the waves of the sea of difficulty and has been successful in all the class activities which tradition has handed down to it. Nineteen- Thirteen entered Kenyon with no idea of reforming the college. An active lot of Sophomores speedily impressed upon our minds the idea that our ignorance was dense, and we resolved humbly to follow the path marked out for Freshmen feet by traditions of the past. We therefore dutifully attended our S. C. I.’s, stacked Asccrsion, and were placed on probation. We also won the Cane Rush, placed a good football team in the field, and won the Intcrclass Track Meet with ease in our Freshman year. In our Sophomore year our natural ability asserted itself. In athletics, in the class-room and at Harcourt on calling nights we assumed a pre-eminent posi- tion; nor did we forget our duly toward the class below us. But the crowning event of our Sophomore year was the Hop. Without boasting we can say that this has filled succeeding classes and our creditors with despair. As Juniors our attitude toward college life has changed; we arc beginning to feel its responsibilities and possibilities. Our enthusiasm for Kenyon and her traditions, tho somewhat sobered, is even more intense than when we bowed to the will and the gonks of Nineteen-1 welve. We have already acquired a reasonable amount of knowledge from our inductors; our outlook on life has been extended by association with college men; and above all. we have formed friendships which, we believe, will never be broken. We therefore feel that our three years of life on the Hill have been of value, and we arc determined that in the year yet before us we will increase our indebtedness to Kenyon. Some of the best of our classmates have been forced to lease college, but the very fact that we are few in numbers has made our friend- ships more intimate and our class spirit more intense. While these last, we may look forward to our Senior year with the confidence that Kenyon will never regret the coming of the Class of Nineteen-Thirteen.

Forty-five A Memory I often turn back in fire-side dreams. When all is calm and still. And wander in memory till it seems The light of youth around me streams As it shone on Gambicr Hill. And the words of an ancient song Come o’er me with a thrill: No difference if they're while or brown. You've got to quit chasin' the freshmen roun'. I stroll along the Middle Path, Beneath the maple trees. And see again that mournful swath In which the old-time custom hath rhe Kreshmcn on their knees. And the voice of that grim old song Causes my blood to freeze: No difference it they're up or down. You've got to quit pickin' the Freshmen roun'. I drop into the same old room I used to grind within: And wonder if the closet’s gloom Sequesters still that thing of doom, I he gonk” of discipline. And the words of that austere song Convict my soul of sin: No difference if they're fresher 'n a clown. You've got to quit laminin' the Freshmen roun'. K. T. L. William Smith Jenkins.

And it came to pass in the ninth month of the eighty-sixth year of the kingdom, that King Fosterius called unto him all the astrologers and sooth- sayers. and they stood before him in the court. And he said unto them. O ye supposedly wise men, what is to be done and whereunto are we com- ing? We have instructed the young men and they have departed, and none arc found to pay tribute. And he was sore troubled. Then stood forth one of the magi- cians and spake, saying. “O mighty one. the prophets have foretold that in these days comcth a mighty race which shall bring great honor and glory to your kingdom. Shall we not wait. O king, and sec if these things be true? And the king said, verily that souad- eth good unto me. So they sat still and trusted to Luck. And accordingly there came forth from all the cities of the land and from the deserts and waste places a fearful and wonderful multitude and the spirit led them to Gambier. And the king received them in great majesty and he came and counselled them saying. Thus and thus shall ye do. so that verily they thought they made a Big Noise in the land. But the king de- livered them over into the hands of the Philistines, who call themselves Thir- teen and were strong in the spirit of the evil one. And the chieftain of the Philistines cried in a loud voice, say- ing. Behold, arc these not but lately hatched? Therefore let us call them hresh Men.” and the Fresh Men seemed unto themselves exceedingly small in stature. And lo the name stuck thruout the year. And it came to pass that at the end of a year they departed again unto the cities, deserts, and waste places whence they had come. Chapter II. And in the next year of the reign of the King Fosterius. once more there assembled the host of Fresh Men and said. Lo. let’s go back unto college.’ And they went and began straightway to occupy the scats of the mighty; and behold one of their number raised a mustache. And behold there was a strange tribe come into the kingdom, green like unto the greenest. And the king in his merc commended them unto the Sophomores for lie had issued a decree, saying. “Henceforth shall the Fresh Men be called Sophomores, and the tribe of green things, green like unto the green- est, shall be called Fresh Men.” And the Sophomores sought to impart wis- dom unto the Fresh Men. but behold, it was a tough proposition and they gave it up as a bad job. But even as a ser- pent. the Fresh Men did turn upon their benefactors, the Sophomores, and overcome them in battle, yea even in the Cane Rush did they clean them, but it profited them nothing for they re- mained under subjection. Chapter III. And lo, it was football season, and the young men of the kingdom of King Fosterius fought many brave battles -■� i Nr . .t - Forty-nine mmaoomtmam i and were overcome. But the Sopho- mores did train for many days and nights and did send many men forth to do battle, and it was not their fault that the football season wasn’t a success. And they did many valiant deeds and King Fostcrius was exceedingly delight- ed to honor them in a very special sense. And behold the Sophomores gath- ered themselves together and said unto themselves. “Lo let us have a hop.” And they appointed committees and rent tables of stone to their wives, and on the tables of stone they inscribed love messages and asked them to come to Hep, and the other young men of the kingdom did likewise. And behold they arc also going lo dress up like the people who dwell in the land of Ethio- pia and put on a minstrel show. And the Hop will be a success. And even unto this day the tribe prospereth and flourisheth in the land and doeth many things. Therefore, I have written these words that you may knew what manner of men dwell among ye. For I say unto you that thus far they have had patience with the faculty and stuck around. And they will go on and even after four years they will receive the reward vouchsafed lo them that endure.

CHORUS J The Experiences of Freshmen It was a bright September day when the Class of Nineteen-Fifteen arrived at Kenyon. The sky was as free from clouds as the Freshmen's minds from trouble. Everything seemed inviting, fc ach man. as he strolled up the Hill had great expectations. Our first impressions were very favorable, and we saw Minstrel Show, an entertainment given for the benefit of the Sophomore Class. Sophomore demands on us. along with our inexperience in complying with such demands seemed most onerous to us on this day. The day following the Minstrel Show seemed very quiet, and it is needless to say that we took advantage of this first opportunity to rest so far offered. At eight o’clock, however. Nineteen-Fifteen assembled on Benson Held, and with a few Juniors as guides, left the Hill, in order that none of its number should be captured by the Sophomores and thereby be excluded fiom the Cane Rush. A more nervous night was never spent by any of us. I he next day. however, we braced up. and were victors in the Rush. I his was our first opportunity to gain redress for hurt feelings so far incurred, and we were happy with our victory. Our joy was checked before many days by summons to appear before the S. C. I. Committee to be introduced to its mysteries. Thereafter, this rigorous body made life miserable for us on weekly occasions. When football practice began, the Freshmen had a good representation on the field. We boast that several of our men would have made the team, had the rule excluding Freshmen not been in force. We were not slow to feel and to show Kenyon spirit; it urged us out on Benson Held every afternoon, ready to line up against Coach Waters' team. property could dampen the ardor of our further attempts. Reflecting the progress- that Kenyon was the place for us. Everyone treated us as gentlemen and seemed to take an interest in our welfare. The initial incident of our Freshman life happened in the afternoon around the stone Prayer Cross. It consisted in rehearsing our high school yells and ora- tions. “picking cuckoos. (a feat which can be imagined only by one who has seen it) and other fantastical activities. During the evening, we put on the Freshman The last but far from the least of the happenings of our class was the ap- pearance of the 1915 numerals. Not even the strong arm of the law which hin- dered our daring decorators to the extent ol actual arrest and fine for defacing FiftJI-flVC I ivencss and persistency of ihc baby class, these painted symbols, a month later, decorated every conspicuous building in Gambier. Now that the year is almost spent, we feel that our deportment, tho offensive and immodest at times, has been no different than could be expected from so am- bitious a class. We believe that we have passed our first year with at least a fair amount of credit, and hope we may feel as justly well satisfied at the end of succeeding years.

WALTON. Tl� r Ciimlunlr Mormyr Hence, vain deluding Muse, which tempts us to tell the whys and wherefores” of Kenyon’s many defeats on the gridiron last fall, and to give unsportsmanlike excuses for them. Suffice it to say that we had a mediocre team play- ing under adverse conditions. The 1911 football season was a failure from the standpoint of victories won, and we cheerfully admit it. Poor teams, however, arc not the rule here: and even if we have been un- successful in athletics, yet every man on every Kenyon team puts up a fight that is a fight, under any cir- “PHIL PORTER. Manager cumstances; and Kenyon rooters make more noise per square mouth for a losing team than most lollcgc men do for a winning team. So what if we do have a losing streak once in a while. 1 here were three redeeming features about the football season of 1911. First, there was the Carnegie-l ech. game. In spite of a long string of defeats and the fact that the “dope” was strongly against it. the team went to Colum- bus for the I hanksgiving game full of confidence, displayed the form which had been expected of it all $ BETWEEN THE HALVES WESLEYAN GAME Eighty-onc THE RESERVE CAME season, and came away with a 6 to 0 victory. As the score indicates, tire game was hard fought. 1 he touchdown was made by Rhora- baugh by a sensational run after re covering a fumble. The second redeeming feature was the Reserve game. We can truthfully say that Kenyon out- played Reserve during the first pait of the game; and throughout the whole game the team put up a fight which was itself a credit to Ken- yon. Reserve won by a score of eleven to nothing—one touchdown and two beautiful and difficult field goals Reserve later in the season held Navy to a tie with Cook, their star fullback, the only consistent ground gainer against Kenyon, out of the game. 1 he third redeeming feature was the individual work of Captain An- tell. It was useless for a half to attempt to gain around lus end. In every game his tackling was sure and startling, and he was a star on the forward pass. But the depart- ment of the game in which he ex- celled most was in punting. He was by far the best kicker in the state and his punts averaged fifty five yards. He was universally chosen for All Stale end, and his work would have won him a place on most college teams. SI AXTELt. Although the season was unsuc- cessful on the whole, yet it was not entirely a failure. While Kenyon dislikes being called a doormat,’ as one newspaper put it. yet we arc glad to say that few sporting pages contained an account of a defeat of ours without commending the pluck of our team and the spirit of its supporters.

Harvard” took sweet revenge for the “Yale” victory of last year, completely outplaying her opponent, and winning by a score of 8 to 5. Aided by pure luck, Captain Matthews scored first for “Har- vard” by picking up a fumble near his own goal line and leading a regular procession down the field for a touchdown. During the last twenty yards the procession lacked only a hearse. The goal was kicked, making a total of six points for Harvard. The other two points resulted from a safety later in the game. For “Yale,” Gaines was shoved over “Harvard’s line during the last few seconds of play, but the attempt at goal went wide. The stars for the “Yale team were Gaines and Tayler. the latter on one occasion recovering one of his own punts. It was one of the fifty yard variety, twenty five up and twenty five down. Aside from Captain Matthews and his seventy five yard sprint. “Bill” Jenkins was the bright particular star of the day. Some of his end runs and linebucks marked him as real first-team material. Each of the “I larvard” players put up a sensational game; sensations were in fact the order of the day on both sides. H X m LINEUP Harvard (8) Yale (5) M. F. Little .L. E.... R. D. F. Gillen. C. D.

Kigkly-flvc The Basketball Season I he Kenyon Basketball 1 earn of 1912 succeeded in stirring up some of the real Kenyon enthusiasm by the very simple expedient of giving its supporters something to enthuse over. The record was a decided improvement over any made for several years past; and it was a well-earned record, for the 1912 team played real basketball from start to finish, and, the most important consideration of all, it won games. Out of six games at Rosse 1 lall, Kenyon was victorious in four, defeating the IVIt. Vernon Y. M. C. A., Ohio University, Wittenberg, and Miami. The games with Ctterhein and Oberlin were lost, but in both cases the Kenyon men put up a good fight, against great odds in the Oberlin game. Indeed, as it has always been, one of the en- couraging features of the season was the plucky spirit shown by the men in playing teams possessed of so many advantages over them. The games played away from home were defeats for Kenyon. In assigning credit for the comparative success of the season, it would be well nigh impossible to say too much of the new coach, Mr. Clyde M. Waters. Under his direction the men showed a new in- terest in training and practice; and a steady improvement throughout the winter in individual skill and team work were the result. Coach Waters was very popular with the members of the team and was able to obtain from each one his very best efforts. The make-up of the 1912 team was unusually well-balanced. Captain Beatty, 1 larkness, and Gaines were the chief point-getters, and divided the honors about evenly in jhis line; in. addition to this each played a fast and clever game throughout the season. The guards, Tasman and Langmade, were new at the game, but both were apt pupils of Coach Waters and took care of their stations in first class style. Weaver, last year’s captain, joined the team near the middle of the season and proved to be a tower of strength thereafter. fi BASKET !3ALLr.l.l THE SEASON OF 1912 B. A. Beatty, ’12.

Although every man put up a good fight, yet the team was laboring under the handicaps of a lack of material and the absence of a coach. Those who were out for the team trained conscientiously all winter, and playing as they did against such great disadvantages, every defeat may be considered a moral victory. During February they were overcome by the Senior Class team, and again met defeat at the same hands in March. The first game was characterized by great roughness on the part of the Seniors, and the second by the same thing. Hie Faculty team, on the otherhand, played a clean sportsman-like game, and the scores show that both contests were hard fought. Senior, (24) Faculty ( I 3) Coolidgc..............................R.

The men on the team did their best to win games and had the support of the student body, but they were handicapped by lack of material. It was one of the freaks of baseball that they generally had everything their own way until the seventh inning. There were very few games in which Kenyon was not in the lead at the beginning of that inning, only to lose the game. Another strange fact which was especially noticeable was that our batters made more hits off pitchers who were rated high than those who were considered to be of poor grade. The team never had any especially good day for all of its members; if some played well, others played poorly. On the whole, however, it put up a fairly good game. There were no stars. Young pitched well. Marty’s catching was good, and the infield was fairly strong. T he outfield was the weakest part of the team. Lack of pitching material proved especially disastrous when a trip of more than one game was taken. Considering all things, however, the team played as good a game a? could be expected under the circumstances. The outlook for the 1912 team is encouraging. Coach Water’s specialty is baseball and he has some good men out for the team. If an effective pitcher can he developed, this year’s record will be a Ncry creditable one. W. T. Kinder. II.. R. C.

I 2 Ninety-three The T rack Season of 1911 The track season of 1911, though short-lived as far as Kenyon was concerned, presented us with one or two pleasant surprises. As the season approached, with no coach provided, much raw material on the team, and some of the best track athletes busy with baseball and tennis, the outlook was, to say the least, dubious. Under the circumstances very much practice was out of the question, but Captain Mason made the best of conditions, and such work as was possible was done. Immediately after Raster, a dual track meet was unexpectedly arranged with Ohio University at Athens. On account of the sudden notice, the team was unable to muster its full strength, but those who were on hand set out for Athens to do their best. The next night the College Bell rang out triumphantly, and to the surprise of many it was annouced that Kenyon had been overwhelmingly victorious. Out of all the events Ohio only won two first places, while Kenyon pushed her score close to the century mark. Encouraged by this result, the team went to work with a new enthusiasm; and meets with Wooster, Wesleyan, and other colleges were sought; but after the crash in Gambier’s financial circles, the whole program had to be canceled. 1 he team, however, was gathered together again in time for the Big Six Meet, and there suc- ceeded in tying Reserve for fourth place, though it required only eight points to do so. Since so large a number of colleges send teams to take part in this meet, the record was very satisfactory. ;«se-' SEASON OF 1911 E. M.

As soon as warm weather sets in, almost every student resurrects a racquet, balls, and tennis shoes from the depths of his trim';, or borrows those of his roommate, and hies himself out to the tennis courts some- time during the afternoon, whenever it is a good day. There he takes his place on the grassy bank and awaits his turn on the courts. He sits in the row of sunburnt and variously-clad athletes, who wear every- thing from overalls to track suits or B. V. D.’s; and while he is waiting, views with interest matches for the championship of the third The Tenni Comi� floor of some division and sets upon which hangs the fate of one dish of ice cream at the Bakery. It is due to this interest in tennis that Kenyon’s tennis team is always an exceptionally good one and often the best in Ohio, as was the case last spring. The season of 1911 opened with a match at Okcrlin on April 29. in which both Marty and Beatty won in the singles, but lost in the doubles. The next match was played in Gambier during the Soph- omore Hop week with Minnesota. I he two players representing Minnesota had both held the tennis championship of that state at one time. They defeated Kenyon in a hard fought match. The follow- ing day, the Hop guests were entertained by the Wooster match, which Kenyon won without difficulty. On June 3 a return match was played with Obcrlin at Gambier, which was also won by Kenyon, and during Commencement Week, O. S. U. was easily defeated. The Annual Intercollegiate Tennis I ournament at Delaware was a dis- appointment to Kenyon men. Although the team won the champion- ship in doubles. Marty was defeated in the finals of the singles, but by the condition of the Wesleyan courts rather than by his opponent. Marty held the tennis championship of three states, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. His loss will be felt by the tennis team; but with Beatty, who reached the semi-finals in the Intercollegiate last spring, and Manchester, who is not inferior to Beatty, the prospects for an excellent team this year again are very bright.

One hundred and Ire Perhaps no event in the college year is of more interest to some of the older alumni than the rejuvenation of Philomathesian. The number of its members is greater than it has been for years, and the meetings are well attended. The programs have been of real merit, and heated discussions which have followed some of the papers shows that interest in literary work is not dead at Kenyon. The society has decided to award the old f s, which were familiar to alumni who were members forty years ago. as prizes for good work done in the society. 1 he mock Democratic convention held under the auspices of Philo and Nupi is in itself proof that Kenyon men have not lost their interest in the art of public speaking.

For some years it has smouldered, never quite extinguished, but bursting forth almost spasmodically once or twice a year. This year, probably on account of the many questions relat- ing to student life which have been discussed on the campus, Nupi has been an active organization all year, and especially since Prom. Its present members realize the possibilities of the society and wish also to preserve to some extent the position formerly held by it. They hope that its present activity will be continued by future members. OFFICERS 1.. K. McCafferty. 12. F. J. Matthews, ’13... E. M. Tasman, 14. . . R. A. Houston. ‘14. . MEMBERS B. A.

Sandusky. Norwalk and Cleveland, and returning to Gambier on Feb. 16. Thr Club� Starting on the Trip The details of the trip are familiar to the students by this time. 1 he Club arrived at Kenton Friday noon. Feb. 10. and made its headquarters at the Drifters’ Club and at the Hotel Weaver. After a rehearsal, the Club sang for the high school at three o’clock. The concert was given in the Armory at eight thirty, under the auspices of the Drifters’ Club, and following it the Glee Club was entertained by a dance. The concert in Toledo was given in Zenobia Hall on Saturday night, under the management of the Rev. Mr. Daniels and other Kenyon alumni. A dance was given in the same hall after the concert. The Club remained in Toledo until Monday morning, making its headquarters at the In Toledo Sccor. After singing before the students of the Toledo high school, at eight o clock Monday morning, the Club left for Sandusky. It arrived about noon ■ B and sang again before the the high school during the afternoon. The concert was given in the Sidley Memorial Hall, under the auspices of the Quicn Sabc Club. After the concert the members of the Club were entertained by the third dance of the trip. Norwalk was a repetition of Sandusky. In Cleveland the concert was held in the beautiful hall in the parish house cf the Cathedral in the evening. In both Norwalk and Cleveland the concert was given under the man- agement of Kenyon alumni. A majority of the men on the Club returned to Gambier on Thursday. Every man on the trip seemed to enjoy it immensely. Everywhere the Club was entertained by dances, dinner parties and other parties. The plan of scat- tering the rr.cn in the homes of people interested in Kenyon or in the concert. In Norwalk added to the pleasure of the trip. The ('lub enjoyed the slay in every town greatly and appreciated the efforts of those who entertained them. The concert was well received everywhere and the Club justified the ap- proval of its audiences except, perhaps, in Sandusky, where the strain of singing twice before high schools in Toledo and Sandusky, a long rehearsal in the after- noon, and a quasi-rehearsal on the train in the morning, told on the voices of the members. The concerts were essentially the same as the one given at Prom, except that Messrs. Clark, Anderson and Rood kept the audiences, as well as the rest of the Club behind the scenes, giggling at their sengs and stunts. When an acci- dent occurred the audience usually attributed it to an ingenious display of humor. For instance, in Toledo. Thompson made a mistake in the pitch of the encore of the number in which he sang the solo; and it was practically impossible to sing it. By the lime he had staggered thru it. both the Glee Club and the audience were in a roar of laughter, the audience believing that lie had done it on purpose. The trip was a great success; and judging from the favorable impression it seemed to make in every town, it will answer its purpose,—namely to bring men to Kenyon.

And every social wrong is floored With bumps and thumps; When good St. Andrew gives his grip. And arts arc mixed with fellowship— Then cluhs arc trumps. Diamonds give to us a thrill To flip the nerves and whip the will And cure the dumps. But when the bases lie congealed, And Winter roots the wind-swept field— Then cluhs arc trumps. For spades we have a great respect— When other people they select To turn the lumps. And when approach the tasks of spring. Our task is with the birds to sing— And clubs arc trumps. Devotion for the Queen of Hearts, It never from our soul departs. Or we’d be chumps. But when bv C upid we are banned, 1 hen we must deal a different hand— And clubs arc trumps. So on the Ace of your attention. Some other high cards not to mention. ( 1 he rhyme us rubs!) With skill and pride and erudition. We now will play, with your permission. The Five of Clubs. K. T. L. One hundred and Item Iff V - .'7 URING the past year, as in previous years, the members of the Chess Club have gathered around the long table in the Sterling Room on Saturday night, and have slaughtered one another’s knights and bishops, overthrown castles, and captured kings in a manner calculated to give the Dove of Peace a spasm. Before the end of the collegiate year, Capa Blanca, one of the leading chess players of the world, will be a guest of the club. OFFICERS W. H.

It has succeeded in the first purpose, and. we hope, in the second. Strange as it may seem, however, the faculty are a good bunch in some ways, and we are glad to have them participating in college activities. noc Until this year the Ca- Club has had its full quota of members. By the time the Reveille is pub- lished, we believe that the call of spring, the singing of the birds, and the green banks, verdant hills, and swimming pools along the Kokosing will have brought many aquaticly inclined students into the club.

HE new Alumni Library has been built by the subscrip- tions of Kenyon alumni and money raised from other sources, to replace 1 lubbard Hall, which was destroyed by fire on January 1, 1910. It is now completed, and will be in use before the end of the academic year. Besides being a useful and necessary building, it is a beautiful one and an ornament to the campus. The style of the architecture of the new edifice is Tudor Gothic. It is a low. wide building of grayish white, rough sand stone. Across the front extends a row of heavy battlements, broken in the center by a large stone block bearing the words “Alumni Library. Below this is a small stone carved with the Kenyon shield. In the upper story is a row of six large windows, and in the lower story, four win- dows, with an arched doorway in the center. While the building, viewed from the front, is beautiful, yet when seen from the side toward As- cension, it presents an aspect which places it in the same class as Old Kenyon in regard to architectural beauty. 1 he massive, square, side wall of the front portion of the building is divided into two halves by a protruding chimney which reaches from the bottom to the top. On either side are two windows, one in the lower story, one in the upper, the four being also arranged in a square. A large square of mul- lioned, stained-glass windows occupy the center of the side wall of the rear portion of the building, which is not as wide as the front part, and therefore sits in a little from it on either side. These windows arc the most charming feature of the building, and will be more fully de- scribed as seen from the interior. The chimney which divides the 0« hundred mill ticentyscven main side wall extends high above its top and. with the decorative tiers of stone at its base, divides the long line of the roof into artistic proportions. The interior of the building has an air of comfort and grace. V ith the exception of the hall in the rear, the main rooms are broad and low. On the right side of the entrance are two large apartments, one upstairs and one down. The former will be used as a periodical reading room, and the latter for general purposes. The left half of the front of the building is divided into smaller rooms which will be used in various ways. I In the rear part of the building, extended from the first door to the roof across the whole width is a beautiful and spacious hall which will be the main room of the Library. It is to be called Norton Hall, in honor of David S. Norton, who provided it. Its walls are of smooth, light stone. Around the four sides runs a series of dark oak book shelves, and high above them arc small Tudor windows of delicately colored glass each bearing the mark of some famous publisher in England or America. At either end of the hall, these windows are arranged in tiers so as to form the great square windows mentioned above. The ceiling is of dark oak. with a series of carved beams running crosswise. This room is modelled after similar halls in old English colleges. The beautiful windows in its walls, however, while not destroying the atmosphere and general appearance characteristic of these halls, yet add a touch of indescrib- able liveliness and charming color and an effect of originality and ap- propriateness which makes Norton Hall pleasanter if not more beauti- ful than the originals after which it is modelled. It is a characteristic of true art that it is harmonious with its environment; and in this re- spect Norton Hall is a true work of art. In the south-east corner of the hall is an entrance to the Stephen s Stack Room. Space has been left in the north-east corner for a sim- m ilar entrance into a corresponding stack room on the other side of the Library, which is to be built when additional space is required. A portion of the funds used in rebuilding this Library came from the insurance on Hubbard Hall. In recognition of this fact, and in order to carry out the purpose of the original donor, the cornerstone of Hubbard Hall and a tablet in memory of Mr. Hubbard have been built into the wall of the entrance to the Alumni Library. The building is new and lacks associations and traditions. At present the other buildings on the Campus regard it as a stranger. Ascension looks at it askance, the Chapel turns its back, and Rossc Hall shows its teeth. As years roll by, however, it will gradually be absorbed into the environment of the Hill and will be as much loved by Kenyon men as Old Kenyon and Ascension. The Reveille takes the liberty of extending the thanks of Ken- yon men to Mr. David Z. Norton, to the alumni who subscribed to the Library fund, and to the others who, by their financial gifts, have aided Kenyon in replacing the ruins of Hubbard I (all by the Alumni Library. ,4; One hundred and licenty-ninc MHK9E _____-______LL. i______ ___ Lectures Delivered at Kenyon 1 his Year Lecturer Subject A urpice� Dole and Place Dr. Smy the Shepherd of Israel’’ Bedell Foundation Nov. 1 and 2. in the Chapel Senator Burton ' Modern Democracy” Larwill Fund Nov. 13 and 14. at Row Hall William Elliot Griffis 'Japan” Larwill Fund Dec. 7. at Rosse Hall ”1 lolland Larwill Fund Dec. 8. at Rosse Hall The Reverend J.

Nineteen Hundred and Eleven, the students of Bexley T heological ____ Seminary assembled for the first meeting of the Bedell Missionary Society for that year. After the opening ex- ercises the meeting was thrown open for a general discussion of plans for the ensuing year. The result was the decision to enlarge the scope of the Missionary Society and to form a new organization under an- other name. Accordingly, officers were elected and committees were appointed to carry out the work of drafting a Constitution and By- laws and to obtain a new name for the society. At the following meeting the Constitution was adopted and the name chosen was that under which the organization is now known, namely. The Sanhed- rin.” Mr. Martin was elected the President. Mr. Tappe was the Vice President, and Mr. Smith, second Vice President. On the Fifth of December. Nineteen I lundred and Eleven the resignation of Mr. B. H. Reinhcimcr as secretary was received. Mr. Reinhcimer was leaving the Seminary to take up other work. I I is loss was deeply felt by all of the students, for he was very popular among the men. “ The Sanhedrin is not a club, but is the Assembly of Bexley Hall students. Its purpose is for the advancement of the interests of the Seminary. One of its interests is the missionary wore of the Church in the nearby towns, and it has taken steps for the founding of several mission stations. I he advancement of the religious side of the work in the Hall, and also the social side of Seminary life are included in its scope.

And musing on “lab-work ’ and math; Suddenly chimed the tower-hells. And I knew not why or how. Although I was here it was somewhere else. And some other time, though now. ’Twas somewhere else, though Gambier Hill; And I knew not how or why. The Long Walk stretched away until It reached the misty sky. ’ I was some other time, although the hour Had just now rung out clear; A time expanding like a flower In some undated year. And whence those domes and minarets Glimmering dim afar. Meshed in the moonlight’s filmy nets. Each window with a star? And what perfumes come blowing past From a tropic garden’s shade. With a lover’s lute-notes throbbing fast In a far-off serenade? What sieges those what castles round? What banners like the Cid’s? What ships sail down the gulf profound. Past palms and pyramids? And whence these wild ambition-freaks Setting my soul on fire. To climb to the top of impossible peaks. Higher and ever higher? And what is the joy that fills my breast O’er a dream in the dark below? And what is the strange solution guessed Of a puzzle I do not know? And whence is the pain that stabs my heart. I do not know for what ? What part I feel as a pain, and part Is comprehended not. Then just as the vision thrills at ebb. In a turn twixt hope and fear. A hand sweeps through the magic web. And a gay voice strikes my car: Come along, you're late! you snail, come along! And I go on down the Path, histling the air of a Kenyon song. And musing on ‘lab-work” and “math.” O. E. W. One hundred and forty-� Commencement Week DURING Commencement Week, the atmosphere of Gambier is changed from a somewhat languid academic aspect to one of formal festivity. Alumni of all ages walk along the path with their wives and daughters or lounge on the cam- pus with their classmates. Old acquaintances and strong friendships are renewed. The college men stroll beneath the trees with their lady- loves or when night hides them from the curious gaze of the passer-by, sit and listen to the music of the orchestra playing for the dancers in Rosse Mall. True Kenyon spirit, the love of Kenyon men for their Alma Mater, her environment, and her associations, is at its height. The feature of the Commencement Week activities most attrac- tive to the alumni, at least to the older alumni, is the opportunity af- forded them of meeting again their college friends, of talking over the events of their college days, and of seeing again the buildings, the rooms, even the hollows worn in the door-steps, to which they were accustomed as students. The fust regular Commencement Week events of this nature last year were the annual luncheons of Philomathesian and Nu Pi Kappa, held on Tuesday noon and both attended by en- thusiastic gray-haired men, as well as younger members. On Monday evening, after the Senior play the fraternities held their annual ban- quets; Tuesay evening, the Bexley alumni held a reunion, and Wed- nesday noon the Annual Alumni Luncheon was served in Rosse Hall, M. F. Maurcy, ’04, of Philadelphia acting as toastmaster. The students dispalyed their talents along several lines during the week. On Monday afternoon the college baseball team played a team made up of alumni, and defeated it; and on Tuesday afternoon, the tennis team won easily from O. S. U. The Senior play. Sheridan’s Rivals,” was presented Monday night, and the efforts of the Seniors were at least entertaining. The first event connected with the departure of the Seniors from Kenyon was the ordination of Graduates of Bexley to the deaconate. The service was held Sunday morning, the Reverend Hosea W. Jones, Dean of Bexley, preached the ordination sermon, and the Right Rever- • One hundred and fitrly-trven end William Andrew Leonard, Bishop of Ohio, conducted the cere- mony. Sunday evening the baccalaureate sermon to the Senior Class of Kenyon was preached by Bishop Millspaugh of Kansas. The initi- ation of Phi Beta Kappa was held Monday afternoon. At 9:30 Wed- nesday morning, after prayers had been said in the chapel, the alumni and students, and their guests and friends gathered in Rosse Hall to witness the crowning event of the Seniors’ college course, the Eighty- Third Commencement. The class orator was Horace Wyandot Wood, and the alumni orator, Charles E. Byrer, ’00. A list of the degrees awarded may be found on another page. The gayety and festivity of Commencement Week add to rather than detract from the solemnity of its ceremonies. The first social event of the week was an informal dance on Saturday night, the object of which was to give the guests an opportunity of meeting one another. Tuesday afternoon from four to six. Dr. and Mrs. Pierce gave a recep- tion at their home; and the Promenade Concert was held on the portico of Rosse Hall Tuesday night. On Wednesday night the final event of Commencement Week, the Senior Reception, was given in Rosse Hall. It was a very enjoyable and successful affair and a fitting se- quel of the ceremonies preceding it. The soft lights and entrancing music within Rosse Hall, and the moon and cool campus outside made it ideal; and the dancers danced until the aforementioned soft lights were unnecessary. E 2:00 P.

And oh! and oh! and oh! The whole wide sky begins to flush With the love I come to show! For last night, parting the threshhold on. My Silvia said to me. Tomorrow morn I will walk in the dawn. And come o’er the meadows to thee. Silvia. Silvia, dew's on the clover. Birds in the tree-tops and sun on the corn! Come to thy lover Who waiteth forlorn. With his world still dark and his sky still dim Till Silvia comes o’er the meadows to him. II The morning mist and the lilac-bush And all the dawning day. They wait in the silent light a-hush. lo hear what 1 come to say; When I shall look in a glowing face Than the dawn more fair to sec. And Silvia comes in her maiden grace Across the meadows to me. Silvia. Silvia, birds have been mating Since the sun-lover came wooing the spring; My heart is waiting A song to sing. Like a bird in the midst of Ia vc‘s blossoming tree. When Silvia comes o'er the meadows to me. III 1 he morning mist round the lilac-bush A filmy mantle slips. I hat naught may see a cause to blush When I shall kiss her lips; When I shall drink with rapture up I he answer sweet and free. W hich in her heart, as in a cup. She brings o'er the meadows to me. Silvia. Silvia, morning is breaking. High in the heaven he’s waving his flags; All things arc waking.— Yet lingers and lags I lie sun in the world and the song in the tree, 1 ill Silvia comes o er the meadows to me. O. E. W. Junior Prom Week Prom Week differs from Commencement in that it lias no serious or sentimental side. A famous epigrammatist says that every- body makes a fool of himself at a picnic, and Prom Week is some- what like a polite picnic. Everyone is out for a good time. This year's Prom Week was to the alumni, the students, and their guests a golden opportunity in that respect. On Saturday, February third, the guests began to arrive. Mark I Ianna and Jack Saylor were overheard to say Saturday night that the girls who got off the trains were the best looking bunch they had ever seen. Saturday afternoon a basketball game with Ottcrbein afforded amusement for those who had arrived early, and in the even- ing an informal dance was held at Rosse Hall. Sunday was spent i:i various ways, chiefly in showing the guests the sights of Cambier; and on Monday the bob-sleds were kept busy by those who enjoyed coasting. At four o’clock the Chi Chapter of Delta Tau Delta enter- tained with a reception in the East Division Parlor. After various dinner parties, the guests assembled in Rosse Hall in time to escape the receiving line; and at nine o’clock Johnson’s orchestra, of Cleve- land, began the dance with a lively waltz, and the Prom was under way. The walls were decorated with festoons and panels of orange and black. The hall was lighted by a low hanging net-work of Jap- anese lanterns, and on the stage was a row of palms and lilies. In mentioning the decorations, we cannot, of course, omit the patronesses, chaperones, and lastly, the girls. As the guests danced on the shining floor, the Prom, with all its life and gayety, was a beautiful sight. After the “Courthouse in the Skies” was finally finished, a delightful supper was served on the mezzanine floor. The number of chaperones then began to dwindle, but the dancers danced on. It was not until after five o’clock that the last waltz was played and the guests departed to their various houses, to wait for breakfast time. At four o’clock Tuesday afternoon, the Kenyon Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi entertained with a reception in the East Wing Bull’s-Eye; and in the evening the Musical Clubs gave a concert, which, with the informal dance following it, was the final event of Prom Week. On Wednesday the students regretfully bid their guests adieu at the station, and trudged back up the hill to take up again the rou- tine of college life. Program of Prom Saturday, February 3 2:30 P.

Plans laid to surpass all previous classes and apparently approaching a gloriously successful culmination were suddenly turned upside down by Gambicr’s financial catastrophe, which left the already over- worked committee at its wits’ end. But the emergency only served to bring out the real qualities of that same body and of the class behind them. Things were controlled by a strong hand, the disheartened ones rallied and order was brought out of chaos. And finally the events of the week were carried off in a way that made it hard to see the possibility of any greater cucccss. The program as a whole was remarkable for its variety and general excellence. There was something for everybody and enough for anyone, no matter how great his capacity for enjoyment. Athlet- ics. theatricals, and dances made up a succession of attractions to sat- isfy the gayest and leave none too much leisure to enjoy the natural beauties that surround Kenyon. And Nature was at her best, which, at Gambier, is a statement full of meaning. The newly-leaved trees, the Spring freshness of the grass, perfect weather—these are but sug- gestions that will call up delightful scenes to anyone familiar with the Hill. The effect of such conditions on the success of the week hardly needs to be pointed out. The first afternoon, that of Thursday. May 18th. was given over to a tennis match with the University of Minnesota. In the evening. “The Fighting Chance.” a farce was put on at Kossc Hall by a cast composed of Kenyon men. It proved highly entertaining and was followed by a short program of informal dances. Another tennis match was played Friday afternoon with Woos- ter. and Kenyon won in straight sets. That night came the Flop, the crowning event of all. Here perfect success rewarded labor that had been untiring and well-nigh ceaseless for weeks past. Decoration had One humlretl anti fifty-five been made a special feature and the result will long be remembered. Rosse I lall became a bower, everything was green, with the green of Nature, veritably transplanted from the nearby forests. Whole branches, thick with foliage, formed a dropped ceiling, and the walls were verdant banks of the life stolen from the woods. All was appro- priate. all was charming to the last degree. Then with music that was inspiring, a floor that approached perfection, and complete prevalence of the Kenyon spirit, the kind that means good-fellowship and finds the fullest enjoyment in every worthy pleasure, the triumph was com- plete. Thought of care or weariness was impossible, and the strains of the last dance only died away in the early light of a new day. Saturday was the closing day and only brought a continuance of perfect weather and full enjoyment. The baseball game with Wooster in the afternoon was one of real excitement, such as only our national pastime can produce. Won and lost several times, it kept up an interest that compensated for the final perching of victory on the rival banners. I he closing feature of it all was a presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera, “Iolanthe.” This combined work that re- flected real credit upon a number of Kenyon’s vocalists, with streaks of unconscious comedy that were no less delightful. The production was one of the big hits of the Hop Week, and with the informal dance that followed it marked the end of the festivities. EVEN I S OF THE HOP I hursday. May I 8 2:00 P. M.

Every day he passes by it time after time, and enters it at least once. He becomes familiar with the angles of its most unobtrusive windows. He knows the decorative in- scriptions on its walls inside by heart, he can describe ac- curately the design of the pulpit and altar, and he even has a speaking acquaintance with the individual hymnals and prayer-books. It is very appropriate that this place so familiar to him and yet not invaded by the operations of everyday life, should be the scene of traditional ceremonies which have grown up at Kenyon. Beginning with the opening of College in September, the first ceremony of this nature is the celebration of Founders' Day. The service is begun by the singing of the hymn “O God of Kenyon. The “Founders’ Memorial is then read by the President of the Col- lege. It includes the names of all those who have materially contrib- uted to the prosperity of Kenyon either by financial gifts or by personal endeavor,—from Lord Kenyon and Philander Chase down 10 those who have aided the College in recent years. From time to lime, when ever it is appropriate, new names are added to the list. The second Chapel ceremony is Matriculation. It occurs during the latter part of November, after those of the freshmen who arc able have proved by passing examinations that they are sufficiently studious to spend the time at Kenyon necessary for the absorption of some of her spirit and ideals. To one who has successfully met this test, it is an impressive moment when he and I is classmates march down the aisle of the Chapel preceeded by the members of the Faculty in the r gowns and hoods, between rows of older students who have already won the coveted honor of Matriculation. After each one has given his individual assent to the obligation to Kenyon which the President reads, and after each has signed his name in the Matriculation Book which contains the signature cf every Kenyon man since the Class of 1843, he cannot but feel that he has bound himself to strive for only ri ch things as will bring credit and honor to his Alma Mater. Cane Sunday, which is observed a week after Easter, is one of the ■ One hundred and fifty-nine three ceremonies connected with the senior class. 1 here is a rule that it shall not be observed in years when the freshmen lose the September Cane Rush; but since the freshmen nearly always win, this rule is al- most a dead letter. On Cane Sunday, just before the morning service, the freshmen, headed by the College marshals and followed by the seniors, march from the Library to the Chapel, and the seniors enter, passing between the upraised class canes of the freshmen. The seniors wear their caps and gowns for the first time on this occasion, and con- tinue to wear them during the spring. Next to the Commencement exercises in bine, last Chapel is tc the senior the most significant ceremony connected with his departure from Kenyon. For the rest of the semester he is excused from Chapel and daily recitations. So far as academic work is concerned, his con- nection with the College is at an end. The class for the last time marches in and occupies its accustomed place in the Nave, the chc r and all the students join in the inspiring hymn “O God of Kenyon, and the familiar service is carried out. Then all listen to the Presi- dent’s remarks concerning this impressive ceremony, and are dismissed. The next day, each class moves up to a higher position, and those who occupied the highest have dropped from the daily life of Kenyon. 1 he Baccalaureate service, held on the Sunday evening of Com- mencement Week, is somewhat of a ceremonial nature. As on Found- er’s Day, the Faculty, led by the College marshals, march down the aisle of the nave in their hoods and gowns and take their places around the Chancel. 1 he Baccalaureate sermon is preached by a clergyman selected by the class. I hese ceremonies are typical of one of the many phases of Ken- yon life. 1 hey are a treasure in the memory ol every Kenyon alumnus, and every Kenyon man is proud of them on account of their spontan- eous nature and long standing observance. One hundred and LrtV Athletic Customs Kenyon spirit as manifested in athletics is different from, or ai least stronger than the spirit of most colleges. Its greater strength can he demonstrated by the following example: When the average col- lege man sees a player on his football team score a touchdown, he throws his hat up in the air. Thus far he has acted like a Kenyon man. I he average fellow, however, catches his hat when it comes down, whereas, the Kenyon man, in his enthusiasm, forgets it while it is up in the air. In the same way many Kenyon men consider them- selves disgraced if they can speak above a whisper after a football game. Such demonstrations at athletic contests are. of course, exag- gerated iorms of real spirit, and count for nothing unless they are based on well defined principles and traditions. The real athletic spirit of Kenyon is an enthusiasm for the teams and a willingness to work lor them and to support and encourage them, especially when they are losing. It also includes a sentiment in favor ol clean, sports- manlike athletics. This spirit, as the other phases of life on the Hill, have given rise to customs and traditions. They are not as stable as many of those observed during the year, because they are subject to changes in schedules and the quality of the teams; but they are not the less spontaneous and enthusiastic. I he most important of the customs thus observed arc those which have grown up around the annual Reserve game. At the Assembly meeting, held during the preceding week, each student is persuaded by the many speeches that the team is at least among the best in the conference. On Thursday night a rally is held on the Campus. During the afternoon, the freshmen clean Gambier of its boxes and loose wood and the wooded hillside of its fallen branches; and a pile of inflammable material, many feet high, is built up in front of Old Two Views of the Bonfire One hundred ami � isfij-onc EBRMUI Kenyon. In the evening the students gather on the Campus with as many instruments for making noise as possible. T he pile is lighted, the Kenyon songs are sung, and yells arc practiced. The faculty take a dignified part in the rally, and each of them makes a speech during the evening. When the fire begins to die down, the crowd forms in a procession and marches down the path to the village to hear the sentiments of Bill Hunter, Bob Casteel, and other business men on the subject of Kenyon s l ootball Team. On the following day after chapel, the rally is continued. The student body holds a snake dance in front of Old Kenyon, and snake- dances up to Harcourt and around to the profs, houses. Annually the President follows the procession and addresses it on the propriety of attending recitations, and annually the students respectfully disregard his advice and in turn urge in vain upon Dr. I Iarrison the propriety of addressing the crowd. In the afternoon the team and the first relay of rooters starts to Cleveland, cheered up by the balance of the students. At five o’clock the second relay start for Ml. Vernon. Do you ask why they go south when Cleveland is north? Don’t worry, dear reader, they will be in Cleveland for the game. 1 hey represent the financially embar- rassed portion of the student body, who have not been able to borrow or steal from their room-mate or friends. They will pass through Gambier during the night going north, on the Midnight Cannon Ball, a fast freight, which stops in Vernon for water. The villainous practice of cheating the railroad began about nine years ago and has been an annual occurrence since that time. ()n Saturday morning the rest of the students go to Cleveland and the Campus is deserted. Nothing is more typical of Kenyon spirit than when Kenyon students, confident each year of victory, thus go to Cleveland almost to a man, by one means or another, for the purpose of rooting for the team at the Reserve Game. Under-Class Customs Class spirit exists on the Hill, although it is not as evident as athletic spirit, because of the small size of Kenyon. Many customs, observed by the under-class men are, however, the outgrowth of it. Most important of these customs is the annual Cane Rush, a con- test between the freshmen and sophomores, under the supervision of a committee of upper-class men. It begins at ten o’clock on the even- ing of the Friday of opening week. After that time cither class is per- mitted to kidnap members of the other. The freshmen, therefore, gather in some secluded place near the Hill, at about eight o’clock, and under the leadership of a few juniors, who are familiar with the country around Gambici. follow a circuitous route to some hiding place, where they spend the night in order to evade the sophomores if possible. At ten o’clock the latter are permitted to leave the Hill in search of them. Some sophomore classes avail themselves of this opportunity; and if they are successful in their search, a hot fight fol- lows. 'I he freshmen who are captured arc brought back to the Hill, and the Cane Rush committee is hauled out of bed to declare the cap- tives fairly taken and therefore barred from further participation in the rush. The sophomores who have been captured during the fight are held by the freshmen over night; and it is needless to say that they sing, stand on their heads, and do numerous other stunts for the freshmen’s amusement. At about eleven o’clock Saturday morning, the Freshmen, who have come back to Gambier and taken up their position within the gate of Bexley, march, singing impromtu battle songs, from that point to the open space between Ascension and the Library. Here they are awaited by the sophomores and a large crowd of spectators. The cane, carved with the numerals of the classes which have won the rush during the past fifteen years, is produced by the President and placed in the center of the field. The two classes line up on either side, each about a hundred yards from the cane. At the sound of the referee’s whistle, both rush forward, and they meet with a thud near the cane. Theoretically, each class en- deavors to force the cane across the line from which the other ran forward. If this does not occur, how- ever, the class having the greater number of hands on the cane at the end of the contest is de- clared the winner. The struggle, therefore, developes into an attempt B on the part of each man to worm his way through the pile over the cane, and to get his own hands on it or the hands of one of his op- ponents off. After eight minutes of wrestling, twisting and hair pull- ing the rush is declared at an end. the struggling mass of humanity with clothes torn in shreds, is untangled, and the hands on the cane arc finally counted. 1 he freshmen usually win. because of their greater numbers. The Cane Rush always develops some exciting and humorous incidents. 1 wo years ago the sophomores followed the foot prints of the freshmen in the mud for a distance of six or seven miles, and finally found them. 1 hey literally pulled a barn down in the fight which followed and captured over half of the frightened freshies, but the latter won the rush by throwing the cane across the sopho- more’s line,—like a forward pass in football. Second in importance of the class traditions is the Sophomore Court of Inquiry, or the mystical S. C. I. Its function is to punish any flagrant freshness on the part of a freshman. In cases, however, where there has been no such offense, the S. C. I. proceeds on general principles, livery freshman receives a few mock or real trials by this court during the year. Mis punishment may be distasteful at the time, but, to quote from Vergil, forsan et haec olim meminisse iuva- I it ; ll is, our pony assures us, means that in the future he will be ad to recall even these things. One A it nil re 1 and surly-to r Harter’s Mayorality Campaign Urged by his many friends and admirers, Mr. Richard Harter, 10, II, and 12, consented to run for Mayor of Cambier in the municipal election held on Tuesday, November 7. During the days preceding the election, his candidacy was the chief topic of conver- sation at meals and on the Campus. Room-mates lay awake at night to talk about it, Bill Hunter forgot to rave a' out his oil well, and even the Faculty became or pretended to become enthusiastic. Polit- ical rallies were held most any time of day.—between classes or on the way up from lunch; and Gambier looked on with fear and trem- bling. On 1 hursday, October 26, Harter received the news from Mr. Tate Cromley. his attorney, that he was eligible to run. Bow man, the campaign manager, then made his platform public, by plac- ing it on the bulletin board; and Harter’s candidacy was fori).ally announced. His constituency then prepared for a rally. The Fresh- men built a pile of wood about twenty feet high in the middle of the campus and transparencies and torches were made for a procession through Gambier. Placards appeared in many dormitory windows, which left no doubt as to the sentiment of the students. At eight-thirty the bonfire was lighted, and the students gath- ered on the campus. The candidate and his manager made short speeches; and after ten minutes’ cheering and singing, a line was formed and the procession started for town. The line of march went down the Path, first to Bill” Flunter’s who made a spcccli when requested to do so, then to Harcourt. and from there to Professor Downey’s house. Professor Downey was not at home; but fortu- nately, he ran into the procession as it was returning to the Path. He also made a short speech, recommending the candidate. The stu- dents then came back to the campus, where the rally ended. The following Tuesday the election was held. The final count was as follows: Gorsuch, Democrat, 63; Holmes, Republican. 37; Harter. Independent, 36. The great slump seems to have been due to the ignorance on the part of the voting public as to how to vote for Harter. A marked sample ballot was posted on the bulletin board, but a few adult male citizens residing in the dormitories failed to comprehend its meaning, and no less than fifteen ballots improperly marked were thrown out by the judges of election. They were all intended for Harter. ' ---- --------- iHBflttHHKHflfl The Freshmen’s Attempt to Paint the Town Saturday morning, December 16, seven freshmen met on the football field at an early hour, preparatory to painting big I5’s on conspicious buildings visible from the Path. Paint, brushes, rope, a ladder and other appurtenances were in readiness, and the party set out to vindicate their class’s honor. Just as they stopped before Jackson’s drug store an arm of the law and his deputy swooped down on the unsuspecting freshmen who took them for sophomores and began to fight. Upon discov- ering their mistake, most of them took to their heels; and when the smoke lifted. Ducky Carr found himself gazing at the muzzle of a 32 revolver, while near by a deputy was tying Donald Snook with the rope which he himself had carried. After the brave officers had subdued their prisoners, they took them to the village jail, where they spent a sleepless night. The next morning before Chapel time, those students who had heard of the arrest, gathered around the jail for the purpose of looking at the pris- oners through the dusty cobwebbed windows. Many plans to tear the building down and let its occupants out were made, but were not acted upon. I he report that the trial would be held at ten o’clock was cir- culated, and accordingly, most of the students gathered around the jail before that hour. Clan Crawford, who practices law during vacation, offered to act as attorney for the prisoners; but when he knocked at the jail door in order to have a cofnerence with his clients, he was promptly arrested by the marshal, who opened it, the latter probably believing that the purpose of his knock was to knock down the jail. 1 1 argued the marshal into setting him free within a few minutes, however. nc prisoners were brought before the Mayor at about 10:30 and charged with being suspected of having the intention of defacing property. cing freshmen, they plead guilty, in spite of the protests o t e stu ents, and were fined $13.60 a piece. The Freshman Uass met immediately, and decided to pay the fine. For a few days, many threats were made as to what the students 8 r L ° n °rC Cr to °k a'n justice for the freshmen, but the . .• 8° lr,slmas vacation and a change in the village adminis- tration smoothed matters over. One hundred and The National Mock Democratic Convention During March, at the suggestion of Dr. Peirce, the literary societies appointed a joint committee to arrange for a mock Demo- cratic convention. At a special meeting of the Assembly the action of the literary societies was made official and the convention was held during the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, March 19. At half past two, the delegates assembled in front of Old Ken- yon and marched from there to Bexley and back to Rossc Hcdl. A varied and motley collection of men it was indeed. Representatives of every State in the Union were present, each wearing the cus- tomary garb of his State and each bearing a banner flaunting the name of the State he represented and his particular choice for Pres- ident. A few of the banners were very unique, bearing mottoes, pictures, etc. The parade was led in person by Mr. Rosenbaum, a gen- tleman of Hebraic extraction, representing the South Side of Chicago. Among the dele- gates were two women, one elected from Col- orado and one from Pennsylvania. A China- man represented California, and two colored gents spoke from Louisiana; New Jersey sen1, three dashing young men in white flannels from Atlantic City; Wyoming’s pride was a cowboy. The remainder of the States sent either smartly dressed politicians or farmers. A noticeable condition was the predominance of the agricultural class and the interest they arc taking in politics. At 3 o’clock Mr. Coolidge of Texas, Chairman of the National Committee, called the convention to order and introduced the tempor- ary Chairman, Senator Reeves of Indiana, and the temporary Secre- w—mmmm —..... tary. Judge Downey of Iowa. Mr. Reeves spoke at length upon the significance of such a meeting and the possibilities which came within the scope of the convention. Immediately following his speech a motion was made and passed to the effect that the temporary officers he made permanent. Then followed the report of the Credentials Committee by Mr. Harter of Pennsylvania, who attempted to unseat several delegates on account of their former affiliations with other political parties. Mr. Matthews of Illinois presented the reports of the Resolutions Commit- tee which was as conservative as possible and promised barelv any change at all in the platform on which Mr. Bryan suffered defeat three distinct times. Profiting by the sad experience of Col. Bryan, the minority, through Mr. Wheaton of Massachusetts, advocated a complete renovation of the old system. Woman suffrage, conserva- tion of Natural Resources, the building of six new battleships each year, and many other radical changes were the substance of Mr. Whea- ton’s speech. Roll call of the States showed a preference for the minority platform. The Convention then adjourned for dinner to meet again at 8 o’clock. After a parade around the hall by all delegates, the Conven- tion was re-opened and it was then moved that since the party had decided to favor Woman Suffrage, the emblem of the Democratic party be changed from a Rooster to a Hen. This change was unani- mously accepted. Roll call for nominations followed. Alabama presented, through Mr. K. B. OTerrall, in a rousing speech of the Southern style, the name of Oscar W. Underwood. The Southern delegations im- mediately went wild and were calmed down only by a soothing selec- tion rendered by the Convention Band. Arizona yielded to New Jersey and Mr. Wickham presented to the Convention the name of I liomas Woodrow Wilson, whereupon the Wilson adherents showed their enthusiasm by a parade similar to the opening one. Illinois yielded to New Y ork and “Senator” Harrison called the attention of the Con- vention to the fact that New York was still hearty in her support of Mayor W. J. Gay nor. Iowa yielded to Nebraska and Mr. Crawford assured the Convention that although they had suffered defeat repeat- edly they were not yet vanquished and offered as candidate Col. Wil- liam J. Bryan. Knthusiasm ran high at this juncture especially among the older members of the Assembly, who had supported this grand old man of the Democratic party in years gone by. Missouri answered through 1 resident Peirce, who in the prize-winning address of the evening for form, delivery, style, forcefulness and length, summed P Mth the name of Champ ( lark; again the house went wild. Cali- fornia yielded to Wyoming, who sent Col. Dickinson to tell the (■mansa ,.v “gents of this convention that Colonel William F. Cody should be nominated for President, because the Constitution says that the President is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Colonel Cody was eminently qualified for this duty. Mr. Gaines of Ohio nominated Governor Judson Harmon, and again pandemonium broke loose and the cheering continued for several minutes. The nomi- nations over, the roll was called again for ballots. Bryan led on the first ballot with 208 votes while Harmon and Clark were close followers. Harmon took the second ballot with 239 votes. On the third ballot Gaynor and Cody were withdrawn and the result was Wilson 526, ('lark 380. Underwood and Bryan were withdrawn on the fourth ballot and again Wilson led with 658 while Clar’; followed with 394. Harmon was withdrawn on the fifth but Wilson continued to lead with 672 while Clark received 370. On the sixth ballot Harmon was reinstated and the result stood, Wilson 615, Harmon, 387. 1 ime interfered at this point and it was decided to make the next ballot final. Harmon received 312 while Wilson got 615 votes. The late hour forbade the nomination of a vice president and we hope the National Democratic Convention No. 2 to be held in Balti- more will profit by our experience and do more business with less talking. One hundred and sixty-nine ___MMSSHlfc. Owe hundred and seventy The Story of the 1911 Trip on the Cannon Ball Seven or eight years ago, on the day before the Reserve football game, nearly the whole college was leaving for Cleveland with the team to root for it on the side lines. But a few of the students did not have the necessary cash, and could not go along. Though they were downcast, yet they gave many a Hika as the train pulled out and then gathered in a gloomy and solemn group. Did they waste time condoling with one another? No. After a consultation, they went to Vernon and that evening caught a fast freight for Cleveland. The next day they were on the side lines rooting for Kenyon in a way that made the Reserve brass band sound like a tin horn. Every year since that time, a delegation has gone forth from the Hill to the Reserve game by the same method, until now the practice has taken its place among Kenyon traditions. The freight train has come to be known as the Midnight Cannon Ball, and the trip itself as the annual Personally Conducted Tour, because some smooth, crafty guy assumes the leadership and becomes what is known at I larcourt as a chaperone. If we had any such thing along on the last trip. I was it. I didn’t know anything about freight trains, but I exercised a sort of moral influence over the rest of the bunch. It was the first ride I had ever had on a freight train, and, by all means, the last. Some ex- perience it was. I’ve felt like a man ever since; why, I never even told mother I was going. Attend me, O. muse, and I shall sing of cinders and the hobo who, driven by fate, first came from Gambier, to Cleveland and the Eric shores; much tossed he was both on box cars and in the rain by the power of the engine ahead. I.ate in the afternoon of Friday, October 16, 1911. those who expected to go on the Personally Conducted Tour assembled at the E Cambier station to lake the train to Vernon. A fine bunch wc were. There was Adams the genial mathematician, Koehnline—I. J., the Jlect-footed Cary. Bauman the politician. Walton the great. Rettig the verbose. Gloomy Young, two freshmen—McCaughey and Gillen, and myself, the chaperone and last resort in case of trouble. Our dress showed great individuality. I wore a black sweater, a footoall vest, begrimmed leather trousers, a pair of old shoes, a long ragged rain coat, and a baseball cap. The rest were dressed just as well, except Koehnline. who. with a newly pressed gray suit, looked almost respectable. After arriving in Vernon, we strolled leisurely down the street trying to figure out how wc could kill time until 9:25 when the C annon Ball would be due at the freight yards. People gazed at us in a very suspicious manner, and even the Italian fruit dealer guarded his oranges and peanuts until we were by his stand. After eating a dinner of ham and eggs and coffee at a small lunch counter, we de- cided to split up until 9 o'clock, when we were to meet on the Public Square. Wc amused ourselves as best we could during the interval by spending much time in moving picture shows. At the appointed hour wc were all sitting in the rain on the wet iron benches in the Square. In order not to miss our train, we left at 9 o’clock for the freight yards. As a thief in the night, we sneaked into the dark yards, fear- ing lest wc be observed by a railroad detective and arrested. For a long time we sat by the track silently waiting; but when the cold wind blew up a heavy rain, we were obliged to seek shelter. We found an open box car into which we boosted one man, who pulled up the next man, and so on, until we were all in the car. Here we %ait«‘d for what seemed to be hours. I he rain-storm was so violent that we had to retreat to the further corner of the car on account of the spray. At last after wc had been drawn frem our shelter by other Ircight trains a couple of times, our train pulled in. Fortunately, it had stopped raining. Wc quickly dropped from the car we were in, One liuiulml inul m enln-lteO B and ran along the side of the incoming Cannon Ball, looking for a gondola or low car; but to our disappointment we found nothing but closed box cars. Nothing daunted, we waited on the side track until wc saw a brakeman signal to the engineer to start. As the sound of the jerking of the cars came on toward us wc ran out toward the moving train and succeeded in boarding it safely. We did not crawl up on top, but remained between the cars until wc had passed the tower on the outskirts of the town, as we were afraid that wc would be seen, and arrested at the next stop. As soon as wc considered it safe, we climbed up and sat in a row on the top of the car. I low that train did speed up; it didn't even hit the high places as it swayed and leaped through the shower of cinders. We enjoyed the novelty of it for a while, but such pleas- ure could not continue. Before we had gone more than fifteen miles it began to rain, and the temperature fell with the rain. We were, soon drenched and half frozen. When wc had ridden thus for al- most an hour, the torture seemed unbearable; said I to myself, “This is no place for a postulate for Holy Orders. But good luck came to the rescue. One of the fellows was seen as he was climbing down between the cars, by a tramp who was lying on some resin sacks in one of the box cars. The tramp cor- dially invited him in, and he in turn notified the rest of us who accepted his kind invitation with pleasure. In a joyful procession wc made our way along the car-top, and crawled in through a small square window in the end. For the rest of the trip we sat on sacks of resin in our wet clothes, net comfortable, but at least safe. Thus we journeyed until 4:30 A. M., when we came into Newburg. a suburb of Cleve- land. When we reached a convenient jumping place, we all jumped off as quickly as possible one at a time, and then gathered together again. We said we looked tough when we started; but not being a swearing man, I shall not say what we looked like now. Our wet clothes were covered with resin and soot, and our faces were black except for a white streak around our eyes and mouths. Poor I. J.’s Oho hundred ami tfcrnly-IArM suit had long since changed their straight creases for zig-zag ones; but so thankful was he to get off with his life that all he said was: A bran new suit gone to the deuce.” As soon as we could get a car we started for the Hotel Del Prado, where the team was staying. Upon reaching the gate of the courtyard leading up to the hotel however, we halted, for we became painfully aware of the impropriety of our costumes in such a place. Now I found myself useful. I used moral suasion, and the bunch fol- lowed along up the steps into the office. Once in, they took courage and were secretly disposed to throw the clerk out if he showed resist- ance. But the clerk was a sportsman. When we introduced ourselves and made our wants known, he asked us to register. Then we were taken to the wash room and provided with many bars of soap and with our suit cases which the team had brought to Cleveland for us. After two hours of washing, we were changed from hoboes to Kenyon men, ready for duty on the side lines in the afternoon. On Gambier Hill Has your kindness lost its humanness? Does each morn bring added fear? Is your daily stunt a burden? Does all else seem out of gear? There’s a medicine to cure you, That will prove life’s sweetness still. The boys, the songs, the handclasps. On the path on Gambier’s Hill. Is your day a siring of meanness? Are your neighbors nought but greed? Docs the milk of human kindness Seem to put you off your feed? There’s a wealth of joy unbounded. Calling you to take your fill. Of the sweetness of the fellowship. On the path on Gambier’s Hill. And as today I worried Over cares and strife and trade, A longing grew o’erpowering. Causing troubles all to fade. It’s call was irresistable, I could only do its will, I o again be one—of many young On the path on Gambier’s Hill. The years come on, and passing. Bring the changes for each one. Who travels down the path that leads. To the setting of life’s sun, May the end keep dear I hat place in hearts, I hat nothing else can fill, l or those who ve known the love and life On the path on Gambier’s Hill. I s poem was written by Mr. H. B. B. Ferguson. Yale ’99. of Cincin- nati. who comes to Gambler every Commencement Week to attend a fraternity banquet. He scribbled these lines on the back of a telegram blank while on his way to Gambier. Om hundred and seventy-sir % One hundred and cvcntj - cven Signs of Spring The other day while pond’ring o er My books both dull and drear, I heard a robin singing with A note quite shrill and clear; And as I sat there lazily At work against my will. The robin flew and quickly perched Upon my window sill. “What do you want? I quickly asked. Me said, I bring good news. “Then tell me what it is” said I, “And will it cure the blues?” “Oh, yes, said he, it’s fine for that, And with a note of cheer. Announced to me in warbled tones That lovely spring was here. I looked the robin in the eye And said. How do you know That this is really springtime,— Or shall we have more snow?” There’rc many signs of it.’ ’he said, Right here in Gambier town,— Good proof that spring is truly here, And proof you can’t turn down.” Along the sunny Middle Path One sees the frequent sight Of students’ live with merry song And Harcourt dressed in white. And up town at the Bakery, With ease it can be seen. For on the door one secs the sign In large black type,—“Ice Cream.” B “And on that great conveyance which Runs to and from the train. The curtains that shut out the cold Jack has rolled up again.” The robin left me then and there, And into each one’s car I bellowed forth with all my might These three words, Spring is Here. One hundred and sci-«� (y-nfric One hundred ami eight if E The Old Clothes Man Up the hill from the station A shambling figure came, On his arm he wore a bag. His gait was slow and lame; And as he reached the campus, A loud shout split the air: “Heads out. and get the water quick; I he Old Clothes Man is here.” Soon the studes were gathered ‘round With pants and shabby coats. “A quarter more,—that’s not enough.” Was coming from their throats. “Veil, now, listen.” Cooper says. “Dose pants is tore und old, Youse cood not vcrc dot coat again De vettei izz too cold. Six bits? he says with sparkling eye And opens up his sack. “No, there’s nothin’ doin’. Coop. I guess I’ll put ’em back.” I hen Cooper wends his winding way. And through the dorms he goes. He buys up all the worn out shoes And all the ragged clothes. He tells his fam’Iy history And shows their pictures, too. He makes no bones about his nose; He's proud he is a Jew. But ere his weary day is done, I Ie comes with glittering eye. To get that suit of tattered clothes His six bits wouldn’t buv. One hundred and eighly-onc He wrangles and he bargains And he starts away again But when he sees it’s hopeless. He tells the student then: ‘‘Veil, I gif you two bits more; De does ain’d wort dat much. But I get even sometings On de next boy, now yust watch. Absorption As I was strolling down the Path, My heart chuck full of joy, I met a little red-haired lad, A small and gleeful boy. Good morning,” was my greeting “How do you do today?” He looked up smilingly and said “Parlez-vous francais?” Oui oui,” I cried, “ct vous sont ‘Pickles’ “Mon pere,” he said, “est Dodo Nichols. I wandered on straight down the Path, Which up to Bexley led; And there I saw another child, A-standing on his head. He was so small, he scarcely could Have measured two feet high; But there he was, his eyes cast up, A-looking at the sky. And as I passed I heard him say, ‘On Mars I sec a mountain.” Surely,” thought I, “this lad must be A pupil of Fizz Fountain.” On I strolled along the road Which turns near Harcourt Place, And there I came upon a lad, A frown was on his face. “Wage and rent,” quoth he to me, Are the cause of the laborer’s grudge. And then it Hashed upon my mind,— I I is uncle was none but Smudge. A little girl next did I meet, Who gazed out o’er the land; And drawing closer I did spy A wild flower in her hand. Ah, she murmured. Nature dear. To you there’s no comparison. And on I walked, yet knowing well. Her pa was Benny Harrison. With Apologies to: Dr. Nichols, Dr. Fountain. Dr. Harrison, Dr. Downey. Gleaned From the Fly Leaves of Chapel Hymnals and Prayer Books “Bachelor’s Comment: ‘The more I see of Harcourt. the more I love my dog.’ ’’ “O Doctor Smythe, You arc a sport. Because you make Your sermons short. “Today is Mike’s birthday: I lealth and prosperity Healthy posterity. A Lament One cool spring morn I gently lay. And on my couch did slumber; And little did the coming day Of cares my dreams encumber. Nor did I hear the Chapel bell. Until its final clang Was wafted on the breeze’s swell, And thru my window sang. Then up I jumped to myself. As down the Path I look My son.” I say, Your on the shelf; Your last cut you have took. “For four long weeks you’ll have to go To chapel every morning; And oft you’ll rush,-if you are slow. Along the path adorning. Thus to myself I plainly spoke. And found that I was right: I e’en forget how bad I’m broke. And cuss Fate day and night.” Each morn I do the marathon Across the Campus while I put my tic and collar on In any crazy style. And if some morn you see a comet, Shooting up the Path, It s me in pink pajamas and My yellow robe de bath. I think I II place my mattress there Before the Chapel door I’ll fleep upon the steps and ne’er Cut Chapel any more.

The following pages contain what he found in his fist. L.etter which the editor’s room-mate received from Devil: M r.- College; My dear Mr.------: Your probation in Hist.

Letter which the editor’s room-mate received from his father: My dear son: I received your letter asking for fifty dollars be- yond your allowance this month, and have examined the list of your debts which you enclose. I am sending you a check for fifty. Now in regard to the list of your debts: Your Bakery bill is entirely too large; you should lie more careful and not allow bills to run up in this manner. Judging from your drug store bill, you have taken more medicine in the last month than I have taken in 40 years. You should not have allowed your wash-woman’s bill to drag along as you have. Last but not least, try walking the next time you go out with the Harcourt girls. Please take this advice to heart and act upon it. Sincerely, Father.

Dear-----: I heard that you were enquiring whether or not I was alive and hasten to let you know that I am. I just returned from a chafing dish party at Harcourt however, and don’t expect to be in the morning. • • ♦ We had some time on the Glee Club trips. We hit Toledo, Sandusky, Norwalk, and Cleveland. I averaged a minute and a half sleep per night. We had a dance in every town except Cleveland, and I figured out that I met over 500 girls on the trip. We had a lecture here last night on the recall of judges. If you don’t know what that is you ought to ask somebody, because it’s one of the most burning political questions of the day. After the lecture we had a smoker for the man who lectured. A smoker is a tea with the ladies removed and coffee substituted for tea. His lecture was interesting, but it lasted for two hours and a half. The fact that he was funny saved his life toward the end. Very sincerely, Editor’s Room-mate.
