Consigned to life’s ebb-water of decay, I found a yellow leaf upon the way. Showing a spot of red, as if, heart-red, A drop of blood had splasht there; and I said: O. Nature, kind and cruel, stern and gay! O would that I for one brief hour might be So far from this strange time of wrath and grief. Which such dark coils of painful puzzle hath.

Watson William W. Leonard, 18 8 Foreword IE chief duty of the Junior class is to publish a book which shall be at once a picture of Kenyon life as it really exists, and a living record of a year on the I fill. This is no light task, so whatever the short- comings of the present volume may be. the editors crave indulgence from the reader. During the sixty years since the first little four-page Reveille was printed, college life has changed as much as the form of the publication. To show this change entirely is, perhaps, too much to ask of undergraduates; but the editors will rest easy if they shall have succeeded in giving at least a sug- gestion of the Kenyon of today. Where thirsty students drinl( their fill at IVisdoins crystal spring. Within this building’s dim retreat The classic students deeply ponder; Sweet study, ’mid the shelves to meet Fair Harcourt maidens as they wander! The place a sentiment betrays Where soft is heard some schoolgirl’s laughter. While young men dream of holidays And gaze aloft through cobwebbed rafter. 10 ■CfKc F jayeille. College Days O days, how with reluctant, clinging fingers We should loose you from our hold; How, as the greedy miser lingers, lingers, Loth to spend his coins of gold. We grudgingly should live your precious hours. Dropping each one with a sigh; How closely we should hoard your faded flowers Now so carelessly flung by; Could we but know how, in the coming seasons. When life’s ardors droop forlorn. And rapine-smoke of Time’s invading treasons Blurs the clearness of the morn, How we. with sighs and thoughts of bitter leaven Working in our cup of cares. Shall learn that once we sojourned blind in heaven. And walked with angels unawares. And how we shall, with tears of stormy flowing. Throw our faces in the sands. To think we looked not back to see you going. Nor longer held your parting hands. o.e.ai The Faculty The Rev. William Foster Peirce, B.A., M.A., L.H.D., D.D.

A A (l 1 B K. 18 I he Senior Class, 1916 a NCE more the wheels of time have ground out another Senior class. We understand more and more, as days go by. the feeling of sadness at leaving the Hill for good, which our predecessors described to our inattentive ears when we were underclassmen. When we look forward to leaving our pleasant college associations, and see, in imagination, our class torn asunder and thrown to the four winds, it seems wrong. It seems wicked. The whole course of things seems distorted and out of harmony. Yet. who would stay here forever? We have learned our lessons and we have made friends whom we shall cherish through life. We are being dis- placed by younger men who clamor for the very things we have obtained. The world moves on, and we have new lessons to learn and new obstacles to overcome in the larger game of life. There let us look ever forward, resolved to sec the game through to the end, and fighting for the ideals that are the best we understand; and at the end, let us pass on with a feeling that we have done our share and are ready for a state vastly larger and more perfect. It is with similar feelings that the present Senior class are going out into a larger and more exacting world, to bear their share in the march of progress; and we cannot but think that the men who dropped out by the wayside have lost much. Benny’s intellectual conversation will linger long in our ears; far- off rumbles will remind us of Pete’s voice; and Barker’s umm-m will come back to remind us of our pleasant stay at Kenyon. So with a sigh of regret and satisfaction let the relics of antiquity pass out the college gates, leaving the campus to young blood. Officers President..... Vice President T reasurer.... G. C.

Bowman, 14; music by I larold B. Smith, 17. I. Like a castle of old on a mountain bold In the midst of a forest reposing. Where for ages have lolled, turned by sunbeams to gold. The waves of the lazy Kokosing— With a spire pointing high to the clear blue sky Like a finger to Heaven above Majestic Old Kenyon appears to the eye— The college that all of us love. Chorus Old Kenyon, forever we’ll loyal be To thy path and thy hill of green; So first we will offer a toast to thee. Then a health to the class of Sixteen. II. As strangers we came at the sound of thy name. But we now feel the force of thy spell. Forever the same shall thy unblemished fame Remain for the ages to tell. With a pride in our class from thy portals we’ll pass. But our memories shall bind us as one: So to Kenyon alone shall we fill up our glass When our life on the campus is done. Chorus Old Kenyon, forever thy stately halls And thy path with its roof of green Shall claim the first toast when memory calls— Then a health to the class of Sixteen. 28 0 The Junior Class, 1917 cvr 3i N LOOKING back over two years and a half on the Hill, we cannot help feeling a class pride, which only serves, however, to strengthen I our Kenyon ties. Even in our first few days it seemed as if we were on the high road to distinction, for we entered with the largest class since 1909, fifty-eight men, of whom all but five matriculated. We entered into our share of activities and in the Sophomore year showed that we had learned much in the previous semesters. Over forty of the men returned, making up in increased vigor for the few losses. Having been the mainstay of the Puff and Powder Club as Freshmen, we continued to do so as Sophomores, and developed such talent that at the time of our lVIay dance we staged and presented a class play, a two-act melodrama, and actually cleared expenses on Hop season. The Hop was the biggest dance Kenyon has seen for some years, ninety-five couples sharing in the festivities. And now, still nearly forty strong, we are trying to put out the best Reveille possible, and also to give another successful dance at Commencement. Whether we succeed or not is still to be proved; the proof of the former is now in the reader’s hands; that of the second is still over a month distant. As to next year, we hope to go through with no relaxation of pep and graduate the largest number ever graduated in a single class at Kenyon. Beyond our college days we shall always look back on our years at Gambier as an inspiration to fight the contest of life fairly and squarely, and to win. President......

As Freshmen they were the 1 same as all preceding classes. Their first exploit was to win the cane- rush. which feat was accomplished by the aid of some masterly strategy sup- plied by an alumnus. How much this had to do with the victory we do not know, but 1918 did not win the rush this year; decidedly not. As this was the last class to indulge in athletics in its Freshman year, it is only due them to say that some first rate athletes appeared to help the various teams, and the football, basket ball, and track teams were vastly improved by their presence. As Sophomores, 1918 have been busily engaged ruling the Freshmen, that is to say. they are overcoming in 1919 the faults which they exhibited last year. It is only just to say that they have been fairly successful in their attempts. Perhaps the most encouraging thing is the fact that so many members returned for their second year. If Kenyon is to grow it is more important for old men to return than merely to get large entering classes; and 1918 seem to realize this. President..... Vice President Secretary..... T reasurcr....

Yes, you won a very decisive victory over the Sophomores in the annual class fight and cane-rush, ut do not forget that you will undoubtedly suffer at the hands of the class of 1920. Your representatives on the football field acquitted themselves with credit, and helped to bring a new spirit into the college. Big things are being looked forward to in the way of athletics in the future, and every Freshman is expected to be back on the 1 fill next fall. When a Senior looks back over his college course it is often with a two- fold sense of regret. I le has left undone many things he wishes he had done, and done many things he would gladly see undone. He realizes that irrev- ocable opportunities have been wasted, or only partly used. There may be little use in telling this to a Freshman, for no amount of advice can give him a Senior’s wisdom, and yet he can at least be warned to make the most of his stay on the Hill, which at best is only too short.

This Senate was the foreunnner and foundation of the present Assembly. This body is one of the most unique and at the same lime perfect ex- amples of student self-government in the United States. Its members consist of all students who have paid their athletic fee; its officers are elected annually by these members, and through these officers the athletics, publications, dormi- tory government, dramatics, musical clubs, and college examinations are ad- ministered. Hence, it may be said that the Assembly is at once the people, the government, and the life of Kenyon. At the present time, the Constitution is being revised and corrected by a committee. The officers for the present year: President....... Vice President SecretarX)...... Treasurer ...... ...B. H. Steinfeld .....H. H. Bemis .....D. R. Smith Dr. L. B.

The last named is by far the most important of its functions, so that the Council assumes very nearly the duties of a party convention. I . E. DAVEY, C hair man H. H. Bemis R. A. Bowman P. B. Hall A.

I he Coach, a new man this year, made the most of his material, and. although we played the best teams in the state, no game was lost by more than 21 points. The victories were brilliant and the defeats were honorable. It is sufficient to say that the men played as Kenyon men always have played, and they have taken victory and defeat in the same manner; and what alumnus or undergraduate needs a fuller description?

Nevertheless, William A. Kellcher, Ken- yon’s new coach, has proved during the past year that such a situation can be made to yield big results. Entering upon his position at the beginning of the first recent football season in which Freshmen were not eligible to play, Coach Kellcher was confronted with an unusually heavy schedule and a dearth of material to mold into a winning team. The outlook was, on the whole, decidedly gloomy, and a losing season was apparently at hand; but a glance at the record of the past season, with its close scores and fair proportion of victories will show that this did not materialize. Much of the credit must be given to the new coach. Taking the available material in hand, he suc- ceeded in bringing together a team capable of offering opposition to the strongest teams in the state. Despite the fact that over half the players were disabled during the season. Coach Kellcher in every game brought out a line-up able to give a good account of itself, and if the past is any indication, athletic prospects at Kenyon are bright while he is in charge of the teams. v Ke eve ille Wc have wi'.h us Bernard Howard Stein fold; by hard work he has made good in every branch of athletics, although he has not unusually great natural talent. Steiny has been one of the mainstays of the team this season, and deserves the highest credit, especially when all his other college activi- ties arc considered. Tackle.

No matter what the odds, he always fought to the end, and the word quit is not in his vocabulary. Center and guard.________________ oKe ) People were somewhat doubt lul when they heard that this tall fellow—sometimes called Don Allen—had played on the Freshman team at State. They quickly changed their minds, however, when they saw him playing center on the Varsity. Clarence James Ader hails from Ken- tucky and is a credit to the state. He played scrappy football all year and won fame at Mt. Union this fall. Speed and pep made- up for lark of weight. End. Another man who is not a born athlete, by name G. C. Williams. Bill has been a consistent worker at football ever since he entered college and has built up a style of play as effective as that of any nan on the line. Tackle. 9 Doll is a man of whom we arc proud. Ralph has got into the game this year and showed people that he has the stuff. He arrived late but soon made up for lost time. Tackle. Francis Florentine F.ckerle hails from Fostoria. where good players grow. This is his third year at quarter on the Kenyon team, although he tips the scales at only I 12. His reputation is state-wide, but un- fortunately he was able to play only part of the games this season. I his handsome fellow, James Atlee Schafer, plays everything well, including football. He has engineered the team at quarter this year in a way which left little to be desired, as he was both consistent and heady. 90 ii As far as nerve goes, this man should be at the head of the list. Shoffstall made his head answer for lack of weight at fullback. He played continually when physically un- able, because there was no one to put in his place. I he gentleman on the side is not getting ready to run a race; no. indeed; it is only Fuzzy Downe starting to close in on an end run. Henry deserves a lot of credit for breaking into football circles, and winning a place on the Varsity. Fnd. Our ten-second man! William H. Gal- bcrach of Lima is our all-round athlete. Bill could always be depended upon to tear off five or ten yards around end. His com- bination of nerve and natural ability can seldom be found in one man. Halfback. 91 John Gregg, alias 1 om Davcy, is anolhcr sprinter. Without him the team would prac- tically have gone to pieces in the latter part of the season, with Kinder, Galberach. Lowry, Lckcrlc, and Brown out, so Johnnie got his parents’ consent (?) to play full- back. Charlie Lowry, already known in base- ball and tennis, entered football and the limelight at the same time this fall. He played a consistent game until a bad ankle put him out of commission. Let’s trust we see mere of him next year. Halfback. Another of Canton’s Noble representa- tives. Van Voorhis. Van made his name last year and strengthened it this season. He is at least one man whose position is sure next year. Guard and tackle. 92 = .___Q Sanborn did not get to play in all the games last fall, but he achieved sudden fame when he made a touchdown against Wooster in the first college game he ever played. Birch Brown deserves as much credit as anyone on the team. He was in the hos- pital when these pictures were taken, re- covering from injuries received in the Ober- Iin game. During his brief career on the gridiron he was a source of strength to the team, and his absence was greatly felt. 93 It has been a number of years since a freshman team has existed at Kenyon, and its reappearance emphasizes the radical change made when the playing of freshmen was given up. It is, of course, impossible to compare it with any other freshman team, but we can safely say that it was as good an opponent as the varsity met during the season. I he hopes of success for next year rest to a great extent with the men pic- tured above, and provided they return next Fall, Kenyon will make a stir in the conference such as she has not made for a long time.

In the first place. Freshmen were for the first time ineligible, and this left a big hole to fill. In addition, and as a result the team has been very light and has had to play against heavier men in nearly every game. Speed and fight have greatly made up for this. The record so far made is a credit to Coach Kelleher and his team. The defeats were desperately fought struggles, and the victories were noteworthy. Next year looks promising, for we have an experienced squad, and fine material in the present Freshman class. The men arc heady and fast, and will improve as basket-shooters. The inter-divisional contests should also develop some material for the V arsity. The leam B. H. STEINFELD, Captain and Manager Steinfeld..........................

Welch, Manager Track ggfc C riVITY in track work for the first time in several years was one of the outstanding features of 1915. Kenyon’s track team had been for T I some time practically non-existent, and the encouraging results obtained in the first season of revival bode well for this branch of athletics. Several indoor meets were held in the fall of 1914, and some promising material was discovered. As a result, Kenyon began to make herself felt on the cinder- paths of Chio. At the Big Six meet held in Columbus in .May, Kenyon gained two seconds. Galberach being runner-up in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and a total of eight points was made by the team. This is the more encouraging because for a number of years no points were secured at this event. The brightest occasion of the season was the meet with Wooster at Gam- bier during Hop week. After an exceedingly close contest the result was decided when Kenyon won the relay in the last event, the score being Kenyon 60. Wooster 57. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Goodwin, whose persistence and example made the revival of the track team a possibility. With the start it has now received, there is every reason to hope that the track team will be a uniform success in the future. I 1 rack Team James R. Goodwin. Captain Edwin C. Welch, Manager Ralph J.

Under the lead- ership of Captain Schafer, matches were played with several institutions, in which Kenyon was sometimes victorious, and in every case was a worthy oppo- nent. Ohio University was encountered on April 23, darkness intervening before the match was decided. Denison was played twice, in each case un- successfully, although on both occasions Schafer defeated his opponent in the singles. Obcrlin was the worst obstacle met by the team, defeating Kenyon on two occasions and winning the doubles from us at the Intercollegiate Tour- nament at Columbus. On May 28, however, Kenyon completely routed Ohio Wesleyan, winning both singles and doubles. The 1916 season is as yet a thing of the future, but with all of last year’s players in college, Kenyon has every reason to look for a successful team. A serious handicap is, however, to be met on account of Captain Schafer’s enforced withdrawal from athletics. This unfortunate event was a severe loss to the basket ball team, and will be felt even more in tennis. It will, there- fore, be incumbent on the other wielders of the racquet to busy themselves all the more in order to uphold Kenyon’s good record in this branch of athletics. 103 Gj Season of 1915 J.

Baseball NI.ESS the Assembly reverses its action in abolishing baseball, the season of 1915 was the last appearance of that sport as an intercol- legiate event at Kenyon. It was felt that a. better track team could 5C developed if track was made the chief athletic event of the Spring, and the step was accordingly taken. The baseball team was. on the whole, unsuccessful, although bad luck figured in some of the defeats. Several good players were discovered and some close games were played, but victory usually perched in the camp of the enemv. The Team K. B. Zint, Captain P. C. Bailey, Manager R. H. Sanborn Mueller.

Yale came first by three years and the Amherst Olio second by two months. The first few Reveilles were simply four-page newspapers, selling for five cents; illustrating was done from wood-cuts, usually carved by jack-knife process. The paper grew quickly and had attained the proportions of a book when, in 1888, it died from lack of support. In 1893-4 a movement was begun to revive it, and the old debt was removed by the proceeds of a concert given by the musical clubs. Since then it has been continuous in appearance, sometimes in difficulties but always weathering the storm. Seniors and Sophomores have had their turns as editors, and in 1882- 1883 it was edited by the fraternities of the college, but since its renaissance in 1893-1894 it has been in the hands of the Junior class. Gj The Collegian HE Kenyon Collegian passed its sixtieth anniversary last fall, hav- ing been first published in 1855 as a regular monthly paper, the first college journal of its kind in regular publication in the United States. The paper continued until 1879-1880. when it was replaced by another, known as the Kenyon Advance; but in 1886-1887, the old Collegian was revived, and began to assume more of the character of a newspaper instead of a literary magazine. This change was completed in 1905-1906, when the size of the sheet was increased and the issue made fortnightly, as at present. During the present year a room has been fitted up in the Library for the use of the Board, and greater efficiency is now possible.

Leonard, ’18 Old Acre Folk m MAGINE, if you will, a noble but unfortunate youth in love with a six-foot heroine; a wicked villain; a constable who swallows his “cud at a critical moment; add some truly rural New Englanders, inter- preted to the full extent of the law; and if these characters are set to work on a perfectly serious plot, you will have an idea of the effect produced by the Sophomore play. The production was thoroughly enjoyable. The plot does not matter; let it suffice to say that it was a rural melodrama, the exigencies of which were full of opportunity to the actors. The possibilities were fully realized; good acting mingled with unexpected and unrehearsed incidents, and produced a delightful feeling of half-seriousness. Stevens’ long strides as the shrinking heroine were unique; H. B. Smith made an incomparably virtuous hero; as Mary Jane. Shaner increased the possibilities of his part by inadvertently losing his wig. Indeed the rustics were as rustic as one could well imagine: it was in such parts that Wattley. DeWolf, Cross. MoKcchnie, Worthington, and Davies excelled, and it must be conceded that the last-named produced some unusual effects at the supper-table. But why go further? The play was a success; the applause was hearty; and a fitting ending was put to the most successful Hop ever given at Kenyon. James P. De Wolf, Leader William J. White, Manager Glee Club ERHAPS the greatest change of the year came in the revival and successful trips of the glee club. For several years this branch of the Assembly went from bad to worse, taking practically no trips, and acting consequently as a financial drain on the Assembly. 1 he crisis came when the Executive Committee recommended the abolition of the club. Al- though this action was perhaps justified, a large number of students desired to see a flourishing glee club rather than none at all, and a reorganization was started with excellent results. With an efficient leader and manager the club has made several highly successful trips, visiting Akron and Cleveland on the first tours, and singing with great success at many other places.

Philomathesian was founded in 1827, Nu Pi Kappa in 1832, and their members include all the great alumni who have gone forth from Cambier Hill: a President of the United States; Stanton, the great War Secretary of Lincoln’s cabinet, and those many others who have earned name and fame in the great world of affairs. In the early days. Philo and Nupi were the most important institutions of the college. They offered, in fact, the only college activity outside the classroom, and accordingly all the enthusiasm that is today scattered over a host of other things was then concentrated on the two rival societies of oratory and debate. l imes have changed. With the growth of athletics, fraternities, musical clubs, and the myriad other things that are a part of Kenyon life today, the literary societies have lost their leadership and are no longer all-important. We would not have it otherwise; the change is natural, and makes Kenyon a better, more broadening place; and there is still a place for the literary socie- ties. No longer as a rostrum for flowery orations and academic debates, but as a meeting place where college men may discuss living issues and thrash out questions of the day do these old institutions find room for existence. This fact has been realized during the present year by both societies, and they thrive accordingly. Not as relics of an outgrown past, but as institutions of proved value do Philomathesian and Nu Pi Kappa hold their place today. i . Philomathesian Society Founded in 1827 P. W.

Werner, '19 Stires Debate I n I the occurrence of two successful debates between the literary societies since the last REVEILLE went to press, the continued existence of the Stiies prize contests is apparently assured. For a number of years no debates were held between the rival organizations, but the event was revived within the past four years, and has since been an annual affair. In- terest in the Stires debate of next year should be unusually keen, as at the present time each society has won twice. In the last two clashes. Philo has succeeded in winning the decision. On February 23, 1915, the subject for debate was, “Resolved, That the Ship Purchase Bill should be passed.” The Philo team was composed of P. C. Bailey. ’15. R. J. Doll, ’I 7, and W. J. White. ’I 7. Nupi took the affirma- tive with C. J. Ader, ’1 7, R. E. Morton, ’I 7. and J. S. Trottman, ’I 7, in the saddle. A close and engrossing debate resulted in a decision for Philo; the first prize went to Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Trottman saved his society from utter defeat by getting the second award. After a postponement of over a week, the rivals clashed for their next onslaught on March 4, 1916. The question read, “Resolved. That there should be an immediate and substantial increase in the army and navy.” Nupi, supporting the affirmative, put into the field Messrs. Ader, Meeker, and Trottman. all of 17. For the negative, Philo chose R. J. Doll, '17. T. T. Ellswoith. ’17, and C. W. Shecrin, '19. A most unusual verdict was ren- dered by the judges. A unanimous decision was given the Philo team, but in choosing the individual winners an equal number of points was given to three men. Messrs. Doll and Sheerin. of Philo, and Mr. Trottman. of Nupi. Dr. Peirce, the chairman, called on Dr. Reeves to settle the difficulty, but the latter declined, declaring that questions of higher mathematics were the prop- erty of the department of mathematics. The three men were therefore de- clared joint winners of the awards, and the distribution of the spoils was left to their discretion.

Sophomore Hop HE Sophomore Hop of May 14-16, 1915, was the most successful dance the Hill has seen for many years. Aside from patronesses and chaperon there were some ninety-five couples on the floor, and they showed their hearty approval of the efforts made to please them by having a thoroughly good, congenial time. Rosse Hall was decorated in the class colors of dark blue and white, the refreshments reflected credit on the caterers, and the music was furnished by the “old reliable” Julius Fischer, of Cleveland. Other events which enlivened the Hop season were the Kenyon-Wooster track meet and the Sophomore play, “Old Acre Folk. The latter aroused particularly favorable comment, and the whole affair manifested a degree of “pep that bodes well for the future. •i' 130 gS The Junior Reception J3JAS I year’s attendance at Sophomore Hop was so large as to lower con- siderably the number of Commencement visitors. Consequently this dance was neither so large nor so elaborate as it would otherwise have been; but a little thing like that could not take away the spirit of the occasion, as was proved at three o’clock that morning. The dance, by order of the Board of Trustees, could continue no longer in Rossc Hall,.so the party ad- journed. orchestra and all, to the Bakery, and there made merry until six A. M . the usual closing hour for such Kenyon events. The committee: B. H. STEINFELD. Chairman P. B. Hall C. E. Kinder R. F. McDowell i:u Senior Prom REVIOUS standards of excellence were maintained by the class of 1916 at their Prom, given at Rosse Hall the evening of February 2, 1916. On the previous night a concert was given by the glee club before a large number of visitors and alumni. Rosse Hall was decorated in the class colors, and skilful lighting effects were produced by a judicious arrangement of light and shade. “Cozy cor- ners” were placed with special reference to the above arrangement. In keep- ing with the custom which is fast becoming a tradition at Kenyon, the music was furnished by Fischer. To the alluring strains of his orchestra, the large number of couples present danced until three o’clock, the time set by the Board of Trustees for closing all college dances. This rule had. however, no more effect at Prom than at the Junior Reception in June, as the party adjourned, orchestra and all, to the Bakery and continued the festivities until daylight.

As always, many On the afternoon of June 12, Dr. James M. Taylor. Ex-President of great war. Commencement proper occurred after morning prayer on Monday, in Rossc Hall. W. C.

The Alumni I .uncheon in the afternoon was an enjoyable event, marked by numerous amusing and witty speeches. It was followed by a reception at Cromwell Cottage. The Bexley Alumni Breakfast was held on Tuesday morning. At noon the literary societies held a joint luncheon, and later in the day W. C. Seitz, ’15, and B. H. Steinfeld, 16, were initiated into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Commencement week was brought to a fitting close by the Junior Reception, which was held in Rosse Hall Tuesday evening. alumni felt the call and returned in large numbers to renew their days at Kenyon. Vassar, delivered an interesting lecture before the Phi Beta Kappa and literary societies on the framing of the American Constitution. The Senior play. Pinero’s “Dandy Dick, provided an enjoyable evening. Five Bexley Seniors were ordained to the diaconate on Sunday morning by Bishop Leonard, and in the evening President Peirce preached the Bacca- laureate Sermon, dwelling on the duty and opportunities of America after the 135 Rt-v jK . Alumni Associations HN any consideration of the growth and welfare of Kenyon College one cannot get far without discovering the influence of the alumni associa- tions. Vo no other one source, perhaps, does the college owe so much; and particularly in the matter of getting new students, the alumni, both indi- vidually and as bodies are by far the most potent influence. Kenyon’s alumni are exceptionally well organized. Besides the general association, of which all the others are a part, there arc the more localized associations of Northern Ohio, Central Ohio. Cincinnati, the East, Chicago. Pittsburg. I oledo, Philadelphia, Washington. D. C.. and Puget Sound. The entire organization is presided over by Judge John Jay Adams, 79, of Zanesville, and each branch has its own officers. The present year has been an active one for the association and many gatherings worthy of note have been held. The first event was held in Cleve- land on October 9. the date of the Reserve game. The alumni of that city tendered a banquet to the team, students, and faculty at that time, and did much to take away the sting of defeat by their hospitality. Cincinnati followed the example of her sister city a little later in the same month, on the occasion of the invasion of the city by the Mauve team. Here again Kenyon men did not have a victory to celebrate, but the memory of defeat failed to dim the luster of the occasion. Nineteen hundred and sixteen ushered in a scries of events among the alumni associations. On New Year’s Day a new branch of the general organ- ization was formed, when sixteen alumni at Lima. Ohio, held a banquet and welded an Association of Lima. Dr. James M. Creensladc, 76, was chosen as president of the organization. A number of prospective students were present, and were much impressed with the spirit of the occasion. At almost the same time, on January 3, the Association of the East met at their annual banquet in New York. The affair was unusually enthusiastic, with representatives present of classes from 1863 to 1913. President Peirce 137 was at the banquet and outlined the growth of the college in recent years. 1 wo days later, the alumni of Philadelphia assembled at their annual banquet, enjoying once more the pleasure of talking over days on the Hill.

Here you behold the products of many academic institutions of higher learning fused by the benevolent hand of Kenyon. The personnel is rather heterogeneous, there being one Italian. Nick, one Hindu, Cy. one German. Schmit, and one Hebrew? The gathering together is a result of extremely natural, although unforeseen circumstances. I low- ever this is already a salient point (in fact it can be said that most of the members are salient) and will not be discussed. 1 hese men consider themselves the bon mot. the elite, and there is not one but will fight if you deny that he has a goodly degree of savoir fairc. As their pur- pose, outside of the above, is hidden, we can only say that they will probably be heard from along about Commencement.

Nor fuller rolled its flow Than swept the passion through my breast A thousand years ago. She came along the evening dusk With white robes blown like fire. And all the air was sweet with musk And faint with vast desire; And as the river meets the brine Which clasps it in its flow. So sank her passion into mine A thousand years ago. O River! River! Swift and strong We were no match for thee! And love could not be love for long Beneath the banyan tree! Thou tore’st our clinging arms apart In thy resistless flow. And in thy ooze embalmed my heart A thousand years ago. But. oh, my heart could never cool After those kisses fire; And in thy lowest, coldest pool Still throbbed with wild desire; Throbbed all the thousand seasons through. While tides swung to and fro. To know again what once it knew A thousand years ago. 142 wHjf So. wailing as I waited once Beneath the banyan tree. While T ime’s mysterious river runs Into the outer sea, I feed hope’s wan and flickering flame, .... That, ’twixt the dusk and glow. She’ll come again as once she came A thousand years ago. Senior Vacation The tennis courts are calling. Old Kenyon’s sides are green With ivy; near Ascension A golfer’s form is seen. Above the sun-flecked Middle Path Low-arching branches lean. I watch the shadowed steeple Slow creeping on the grass,— The steady moving shadow Which marks the hours that pass; A sun-dial that Old Kenyon has Instead of clock or glass. Three springtimes have I known here. And this, the fourth and last, I watch with fuller pleasure 1 han all the springtimes past;— But a creeping shade of parting Across my soul is cast. Broad beams of mellow sunlight Stream over path and lawn; The lazy chime is striking,— Another hour has gone. The shadow of the steeple Is creeping on and on. My leaving is for better; I cannot tread for aye The Middle Path’s long reaches. And laugh the hours away. I must be out and doing,—yet I sigh this sunny day Regretfully. But lingers A little time to me; And while I’m idly sighing The spire’s long shadow, sec. Is pointing to the tennis courts And my comrades wait for me. U Dancing A La Carte S1HE authenticity of the following is vouched for by the writer from his ii own personal observations, and if it is doubted by any one can be J proved on any night when the faculty of Kenyon College gather round Fat’s combination pool and billiard table at Cromwell Cottage. At the summons of Mrs. Peirce the faculty gathers. Fat leads the way to the billiard parlor with a roll of parchment under his arm, and the rest follow in a mysterious way as though something were going to be opened. Upon their arrival in the parlor, something is opened, but only the parchment. The President ceremoniously and carefully spreads the roll out on the table, weighing it down with pool balls at the corners. Then the faculty all crowd around. Bugs and the Deacon fighting for first place. Mrs. Peirce promptly tells them not to push so, and the reading begins: “Grasp your partner firmly around the waist with one hand, with the other lightly touch the palms. Poise agilely on the right foot. (Not part- ner's.) Partner poises on left. Now begin at the first beat and take four steps, pushing your partner if she refuses to move, whirl at the fifth step, de- scribing a full circle, then take three steps more. Repeat this process till someone turns off the Victrola, or other circumstances force you to stop. 1 he chart of the dance is all carefully illustrated with drawings, which Fat tries to explain, but does so poorly that Mrs. Peirce pushes him aside and does it herself. The former meekly protests, but is ignored. Somebody puts “Chin Chin on and the fight begins. Bugs and the Deacon usually have foot races around the billiard table, and Bugs, being more of an athlete (in his own estimation), usually w’ins. Both of course arc carrying their partners by this time, but that makes little difference. The chief reason Bugs wins these matches is that the Deacon gets a dead-man’s stare on his face and now’ and then hits a corner of the table, which slows him down. It might be well to add that Bugs adopted the plan of dancing beside his part- ner rather than with her. because he could make more speed at the corner: the origin of the Deacon’s stare has never been divulged. 14f « k jx r c-ve nig Mrs. Peirce always tries to explain the dances to her partner, which is very disgusting to Barker, so he stays away. One of the rules of the club is that every man shall dance at least once with every lady. This is done to prevent any jealousies or show of favorit- ism, and also to prevent the possibility of wall flowers, as the ladies usually outnumber the men. There is always one objectionable feature to these dances, and that is the way Bugs and the Deacon cut up. Besides pushing everyone out of the way, they both say mean things to the ladies, and are continually kidding. So when either of them dances with Mrs. Peirce you may be sure the dance will soon be over, as their tactics and antics are very distasteful to her. At about ten o’clock this momentous event occurs: Mrs. Peirce starts to dance with one of the scientists, and the end is near. After a minute or so the Victrola is shut off, Mrs. Peirce picks up the instruction book, and goes down stairs, followed by bat in all meekness, and the rest of the ladies leave while the two lions have a heated discussion as to who broke up the party. The doing of the honors is left principally to the President. The hostess is not very responsive; Bugs and the Deacon promise to come again but receive no answer. Tite, Gummy, Alcahall, and Sheeny leave very quietly, being the gentlemen of the party, but the irrepressible scientists shout in a very undig- nified manner when they get out on the path. So the party ends with a rush, as it started, and everyone but the forego- ing vow never to attend another; hut the fever has them and soon another is organized with just the same result. Rumors that bridge is to be substituted are circulated, but such exuberant spirits could never be quashed with cards, and the terpsichore sessions will probably continue. 147 Heritage Proud rise the towers on Gambier’s storied Hill; Prouder the glorious past they represent Of noble deeds, and sturdy heroes sent To guide a nation with unflinching will. All praise be theirs, who in the simple drill Of study found a clearer, purer fire; Who felt the urgings of a vast desire To do great duties, and great tasks fulfil. Ours is their heritage, the feet of Hayes Have trod, like ours, the Path, and Stanton’s name Echoes across the Hill from former days; Into our hands is given the sacred flame By them enkindled; rather into dust Let fall these towers than we betray our trust. 148 149 The Calendar March 21—Missionary class organized; Dechant in the front row.
