Her health was poor and a maternal hour was drawing near. On the second of February she went down into the valley of the shadow of death and gave to the world a son, lin- gered in the vale seven days, and then passed calmly and peacefully out through death ' s dark door mto the pearly gates of Eternal Love. Thinking the child dead at birth, skilled phy- sicians and loving hands bent all their energy to save the mother. After her needs were attended, the child received their services, when, to the sur- prise of all, a bubble arose from the basin in which the child was placed. He lived, and some days later was carried on a pillow to the home of an uncle eight miles away. So frnil and delicate was he that the journey was made on foot. Several times he was thought to be dying on the trip. One can scarcely believe that the lusty and vigorous President of Lenoir College was once this tmy and delicate child. But it is true. Robert Lindsay Fritz, son of William and Lucretia Fritz, was born on the second of February, 1 869, near Holly Grove, Davidson county. North Carolina. Seven days later he lost his mother and a mother ' s love, and was reared in the home of his grand- parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Bowers, near Lake, North Carolina. At the age of five he was put in school, but at the close of the session he knew no more in his books than he did when he first started, failing to learn the alphabet, even. But in the second winter circumstances changed. A new school-house had been erected and a new teacher employed. In these new surroundings he quickly showed his men- tal strength. On the first day he mastered his let- ters and took leading rank in all his work. At the age of fourteen, with little more than three months schooling each year, he had mastered the common school course and was taking algebra in advance. This fact made it difficult for the district committee- men to secure a teacher for the term of his fifteenth year, due to the fact that his advanced studies ter- rified the average teacher of that section at that time. After searching long and to no avail some- one suggested the idea of having this boy teach the school himself. Acting on the suggestion they at once looked him up and prevailed upon him to stand the examination and undertake the work. He left the woods where he was chopping and sought the Superintendent of Public Instruction at once. He stood the test, obtained a second grade certifi- cate, and spent the winter of his fifteenth year teach- ing his first school and has remained in the school teacher ' s chair almost every year since. About this time Rev. W. P. Cline became pastor of the Holly Grove Parish. He saw the possibil- ities of a good school in that section, and realized the good it would accomplish. In the Fall of 1 894 he opened Holly Grove Academy and successfully operated it for a number of years, doing a service for that community which will never be fully tabu- lated or accurately known. Into this school came Robert hritz at the close of his school term in the spring of 1885. He remained a pupil and tutor until he left the Academy to enter Roanoke College in the spring of I 888, entering the Sophomore class one-half advanced. In the fall of I 889 he yielded to the wishes of friends and entered the newly or- ganized college at Conover. Here he remained regularly and finished the course in 1891 — tnc year in which the rupture came and the College was moved from Conover to Hickory. This rupt- ure broke up the commencement for that year and President Fritz did not get his diploma until the commencement in I 892. On the removal of the college from Conover, he cast his lot with the Hickory school, helped clear the thicket where Lenoir College now stands, and did regular work as a teacher in the session of I 89 I - ' 92. In the fall of 1892 he entered John Hopkins University and specialized in Mathemat- ics, Physics, and Astronomy. He returned to Lenoir College in the fall of 1893 and taught regularly for three years. In the summer of I 896 he received and accepted a call to the newly or- ganized Elizabeth College, Charlotte, North Caro- 1 1) li fei-! y,n lina, where he taught most successfully for five years, being given the guarantee by the Board of Trustees that his Professorship was a permanent position. But in the year of 1901 he received a call from the Board of Trustees to return to Lenoir College and accept the Presidency of the College. After due consideration he accepted the call, though at a financial sacrifice to himself, and enter- ed upon his duties as President in the summer of 1901. He is, therefore, roundmg out his tenth year as President of Lenoir College with the closmg of this school year. During this administration he has had the assistance of an aggressive Board of Trustees and a loyal Faculty, and there are many evidences of successful management during his term ot service. Within these years the new dormitories for both girls and boys have been erected, as well as the new St. Andrew ' s church ; and there has been added much equipment for the College plant. Also within this peroid the College has become the abso- lute property of the Tennessee Synod, managed and controlled by her Board of Trustees. The courses of study have been raised in all departments and the College has attained State recognition as an in- stitution of first rank. Much of this broadened horizon for Lenoir ' s usefulness is due to President Fritz ' s wise management, and we heartily concur in the action of the Board of Trustees in declin- ing to accept his resignation on the expiration of his ten year ' s service. Had the poet been writing of President Fritz concretely, he could not have expressed a truth more accurately than when he declared, There ' s a destiny which shapes our end, Rough-hew it how we may. From early life there burned within him a desire to become a Gospel Minister. With this aim in view he bent his energy for full preparation for this noble work, yet the guiding of destiny has caused him to serve in another work. Early in his college course temptations came alluring to swerve him from his clear-cut goal. Two uncles, one a boon com- panion, the other a wealthy railroad owner and operator in Texas desired him to study medicine and become a railroad physician and surgeon in the Lone Star State. To attain their purpose they offer- ed him, with outstretched hands, all funds for col- lege, university, and medical instruction, the best the world affords. All this came at a time when he was working and paying his own way through school. teaching during vacation and tutoring during the term. But this alluring offer did not in the least swerve him from his life-object. He struggled on, unaided, and turned to good account the know- ledge acquired in the school-teaching art, earning enough to keep his expenses paid and laying by a sum sufficient for his university expenses when his college work was done. His teaching ability did not pass unnoticed by his instructors, and when he completed his college course he was induced to ac- cept a professor ' s chair in Lenoir, in spite of the fact that he had the ministry in mind as his goal. Thus it happened that destiny vsTought more successfully than relatives or his own desires. He is what might be termed a born teacher. His mind is both mathematic and analytic. As a child it was his keenest delight to make and operate flutter-wheel machinery on the stream which ran near his home. The greatest disappointment, pos- sibly, his boyish heart ever experienced came when a generous friend gave him a set of discarded water- wheels, one of which he had not the strength to carry home after lugging it more than a mile. While his desire to serve in the ministry has not been fully realized, yet his life-work will, in all probability, affect more lives through the professor ' s chair than had his early desires been achieved. From childhood he has made and held legions of friends. No boy ever grew up in the Holly Grove community who left it a richer legacy of boyish pranks and wholesome fun. Gifted with a keen eye for seeing the ludicrous as well as the serious side of life, he came into his full share of all in- nocent fun, fortunate in being reared in a section where grotesque characters thrived. But back of this happy-hearted boy stood a loving grandmother Mary Conrad Bowers, who guided wisely the go- ing and coming of his youthful days. In the midst of a crooked generation and a perverse world, she saved him, pure in body and soul, for his life-work. In heart he has ever remained young, fully realiz- ing and understanding the joys and sorrows of youthful life; sympathizing with them in their troubles, sharing to the full their joys. In years still young, although he has spent twenty-six in the teacher ' s chair, he is well prepared to see all things through student ' s eyes. Ever ready to give a helping hand to those in need of aid, he lives the philosophy of the Scriptural proverb, There is that scattereth, end yet increaseth. Following this policy he has increased his friendships and broad- ened his mental capacity. In the distribution of Faculty work, what others would decline he would take up, until to-day he is actually capable of teach- ing every class in every department in Lenoir ' s cur- riculum, save in Instrumental Music and Art, hav- ing actually done service in all these branches ai some time or other. We rejoice that the Board of Trustees have wisely planned that more of his time will be given to the executive work of the College from this time forth. In this action we expect to see Greater Lenoir pass from dream-land into the life of the real. This sketch would be unfair and unworthy the cause it desires to serve did it fail to record the fact A which has made so mucl3J f  . 9«rvices pk his marriage, on April JQA 1 8%, to Miss Or Huitt, of Claremont, North Carolina. She has proved a real helpmeet in all his arduous duties and much of the success of Lenoir ' s usefulness was made possible through her home helping. He was ordained to the Gospel ministry in St. Paul ' s church, in South Carolina, 1 894, by the Tennessee Synod. He had received a call to be- come pastor of St. Andrew ' s congregation on the College campus, and served in this capacity for one year. As a minister, he is an interesting preacher, and has spent many of his Sundays expounding the Gospel story. C. Luther Miller. staff R. A. Swaringen Edhor -in-Chief . J. T. Horney ...

We have tried to make the Annual the true index of student life, and a true represent- ative of all phases and movements at the College. We have endeavored to give our students and friends a book which they will prize very highly. You have but to turn its pictured pages to be filled with fond recollections of class-mates and com- panions, thrilling adventures on the athletic field, individual contests waged in the arena of the col- lege world — in fact, to live over onc e more the happiest days of your life, which you wish to keep ever fresh in your memory. It has been our aim to mirror to some extent the comic side of college life, which is local in nature, and savors strongly of co-education. We take this occasion to express our gratitude to those who have in any way assisted us in mak- ing possible this issue. We hereby submit the 1911 Hacawa to our readers. EDITORS.

Oh, that I might be inspired with the gift of prophecy just for a few minutes! But my pen lay idle, and the blank paper stared at me. Pushing everything aside, I leaned my head over on the table to collect my scattered thoughts. Suddenly a hand was laid gently on my shoulder and as I looked around a little Magician stepped u) to me. He removed his odd shaped hat politely and told me with a smile that he had been sent by Durno, Prince of Magicians, to grant me one wish, and after that one was fulfilled he would leave the earth, never to return. In breathless haste I told him that if I could only see the future of my dear class mates I would wish nothing more. Then come along, he said, and soon we were in an air- ship floating up in the great white clouds. I en- joyed this adventure thoroughly and wondered if I would find those flying around in space with whom I had been so intimately related for several years. My revery was broken by the magician placing a colored glass before my eyes. Looking through it New York City flashed into view. It was Sunday morning and as I watched the people hurrying to and fro on the crowded street, one man especially attracted my attention. It was Mr. Swaringen W., father of the class. He still had that quick step, pleasant smile and erect figure, but years of toil and trouble had planted her stamp on his brow. Eagerly I watched him pushing his way through the crowd, until he came to a large brick building which my guide informed me was the Methodist church. With dignity he entered its decorated walls and took his seat at the pulpit, while the choir pealed forth anthems of sweetest song. I would like to have heard the sermon, but my guide said we had tarried too long, and we jour- neyed on. After an hour of pleasant sailing we were in India. There m one of the little villages was Maud Miller patiently trying to teach a little group of natives. She had spent her early life in flirt- ing and being unsuccessful in finding a lover, had gone to the foreign field as a missionary. Soon we were in our own country again. A large farm house, several miles from Wilmington attracted my attention. On the porch sat Eula and Bonnie, perfectly contented. This was noth- ing more than I expected. But where were those lofty ambitions Eula cherished when as a school girl she used to talk of the fame she would win in Germany as a musician? Oh, Bonnie ' s lo e be- came master, and she gave them up as idle dreams. The city of Henry next came into view. I noticed a sign board with Lawyer Speagles office written in large red letters on it. Inside sat Fred busily engaged, while Maud, the only girl he ever loved was near him enjoying the morning paper. As I looked at this picture of happiness the airship mounted higher and higher and they disappeared. In a few minutes I was commanded to look to the earth again. Harvard University in all of its stateliness stood out before me. I wondered who of the little class of 1911 could be filling an office here. I was not long left in doubt, for looking on the interior I saw Mary Manney expounding puz- zling problems of higher Mathematics to a large 33 and attentive group of students. Now that I had seen all of my class mates except two, a vague fear came over me that nature had not dealt so kindly with the remaining ones. But I was certainly reassured when our ship floated near a large church in a Western town, and I heard Mr. Huffman, bet- ter known as Parson, deliver a sermon which would have startled the Philosophers of old. Once more I took the peculiar little glass which the magician guarded so carefully for me, and looking through it I saw an aeroplane several yards from us. It drew closer, and as I gazed at its occupants whom should greet me but J. T. Homey. His story was an interesting one. With great success he had navigated the air and was now recognized as the world ' s greatest aeronaut. Then the magician turned to me and said, On account of your indifferent disposition the world will not understand you, but never fear, you will attain your goal. Then suddenly he disappeared. 1 he airship fell and my head hit the table. I had only been dreaming of the class of 1911. ■ „. 34 Senior HfistorY IN Seplember, 1907, when we entered the grand old walls of Lenoir College, little did a number of us think we should in 1911 be graduates of this renowned institution. On that bright September morning we marched in company with the other students to our first chapel exercises. The sky seemed exceedmgly clear ; the sun was shining brilliandy in the east ; the birds were sing- ing their choice songs; every thing seemed in per- fect harmony with the school life of L. C. We were Freshmen, and we knew it. The Sophomores cast a sneering look upon us at first, but when they learned to know us better, they attended to their own business! The song, O, Freshmen, you had better he low, lie low, had a very striking effect upon us. It caused the very blood in our veins to boil. But our first year was spent very happily. We had our class organiza- tion like the others. The first year we had sixteen members, which constituted an average class. In the following September agam we entered Lenoir College halls — this time not as green Freshies, but as wise fools. Yes, we were Sophomores, and we were no exception to the rule that all Sophs feel their importance. This year we sang to the Freshmen, but we were annoyed by no class. Some of our former members did not re- turn, while several new ones took a part of the deserted places. This year our class numbered only fourteen. The next year we cast aside all light Sophomore thoughts, for we were Juniors. We were now filling up the gap between the wise fools ' and dignified Seniors. This was our banner working year. We were very fortunate in winning medals for the Junior Class, bringing five to the violet and gold. Our number had now decreased to twelve. Thus ended our banner year ! Alas, at length the doleful Senior year was soon staring us in the face. Her tasks were handed out !o us, and we must grasp them. We came in con- tact with many trials and hardships. ' ' et we spent the year 1910-1 1 very pleasantly. The tie joining us as classmates was similar to that bind- ing members of a family. We are not vain enough to say our class has surpassed all other classes of Lenoir College, but we do claim to be on a level with the former ones. Our members have always held an enviable place in the college sports. We have been represented continually in athletics. Homey in baseball as player on first base and m foot ball has contributed much to the ludicrous as well as to the victorious phase of the games. He left his mark wherever he played. Swanngen as manager of the track team was much interested in his work and put forth every ef- fort to make the races successful. Speagle was manager ol the foot ball team and did much to encourage the boys. Huffman ' s athletic interest was directed to ten- nis. He was seen on the court every day. The girls of the Class 1911 have also been very much interested in athletics, taking an active part in tennis and basket ball. We had ji representative on the Varsity team. We have been represented m all the special departments — in Music, Art, Expression, and Voice. One of the things we have almost failed at is sporting. During our entire course, Cupid has had litlle effect on us. Though the history of the Class of 1911 is short, we will go out from Lenoir College with worthy ideals and high ambitions. May the future of each wuh pleasure and success. vded 35 3unlor oll MOTTCI Praemium Fideliviii esl cerium. Colors: Red and White. Emblem: American Beauty Rose Rip! Zip! Zite!

We were only freshies that year and were DOt considered by the higher classmen except the Soph ' s who respected us after they saw that we were game enough to protect ourselves. After a pleasant vacation ' welve of our former number returned and also some new members came and enrolled as Wise Fools. All year the poor little Freshmen had to take a back seat when the Sophomores were around. In the first part of the Spring Term we organized The Greater Sophomore Class, the object being to create more genuine class spirit. Our efforts thus made were repaid by greatly accomplishing our purpose. We are soiry to note that only half of our Sophomore class returned to take Junior work. However, we are glad that two new members cast their lot with us for the remain- ing two years. The Seniors, Soph ' s and Fresh think we are the class — and so we are — but alas ! the Faculty does not. We have shone most brightly this year in athletics Mem- bers of the class having been on the Football, Basketball, and Baseball varsity teams. 1 he varsity Tennis team was constituted by members of our class. If any of us fail, it will not be the fault of our earnest and persistent professors who tried their best to teach us the principles of Psyc, Trig, and the languages. Though we are few in number we keep the faculty busy. We sincerely hope that all of our members will return next year and make the last quarter of our College career as pleasant and helpful as the first three quarters. R. A.

Through the perplexities of the first year we stumbled without a murmur. Many were our trials, but over each of them we won and won gloriously. Though we seemed insignificant, were the brunt of all jokes, and were called fresh by the higher classes, we overcame these obstacles and steadily advanced along the road of knowledge. Already another year has passed and we have ascended to the second rung of I ' le college ladder. Now we are looked down on and called Wise Fools by the Juniors, and looked up to and re- spected by the Freshmen. We are working very earnestly to shed forth the most elevating influence possible, and to make the Class of 1913 renowned. Much talent and ability, which has been hitherto undeveloped, is unfolding, class love and feeling is being fostered and made stronger every day. While life has a more serious meaning, and mo- mentous affairs weigh down upon us, the days are full of pleasure and we are striving to live up to our motto Not many things but much, and in all things to be worthy of our gold and black.

About September 20, 1910, a class meetmg was called and the followmg officers were elected: C. E. Fritz, President; L. L. Lohr, Vise- President; Lillian Plonk, Secretary and Treasurer; J. J. Stuck, Historian, and Flossie Gilbert, Poet. Soon afterwards we met and decided to hold monthly meetings at which we always rendered programs which were appropriate and which have proved a great help in promoting class spirit. The other classes — chiefly the Sophomore — de- rided us at first with the words, Oh you, Little Freshmen you had better he low, but none of them has ever had the nerve and backbone enough to make us lie thus, and this thought lies dominant in their ears, for they know our nerve too well. As far as athletics go the Freshmen have played their part, making good in the foot ball, baseball, and track teams. We feel proud of our class, for we know that it is one of the largest in the history of the college. We only hope that each may survive the summer vacation and return again, again, and again to Lenoir, so that our class may go kiting through in 1914, more admired and loved by ail than any class heretofore. 52 Trisbman Ipo m Our band is young and hopeful, Towards great ambitions we are working. And we fully intend to do and be And although we may fail, All that IS expected of us, but not to be boastful. Yet never our duty will we think of shirking. We will, — Oh, you just wait and see! And every opportunity with gladness we will hail. For we intend always to be brave. And stand up firm m the right. And though our experiences may often be grave. We know that with these we can fight. While through college up we struggle. To win some laurels fair. We ' ll always stand united. And each others disappointments share. We love our teachers very much indeed, (You know that is a good sign of success) ; Though on other subjects we sometimes disagree. We all agree on this one, nevertheless. So when our college days are over. And our paths shall be divided. Our memories still shall fondly treasure. The thoughts of those by whom we were guided. When we see the work of higher classes Do you think we care. That we can ' t go around exploding like gases. And wish their lot with them to share? We ' re all of a very ambitious nature; So what ' s the use of making a fuss, ' Don ' t we know that in the near future. This same road will be open for us? Their work which you say is so sublime. We admit some of it is true. But just give us a few years of time. And see what we can do. Three more years will soon pass. An if we continue to extend the range of our knowledge. We ' ll be the best Senior Class, That ever went out from Lenoir College. 53 0 55 Sub - JP resl)man (Tlass Officers B. T. Hale, President. Ina S. Glass, Vice-President. Elsie Miller, Secretary.

It IS this: Can it be deemed practicable to era- dicate the possibihlies for war at the present? Be careful not to get the two questions mixed — h In- krnal ' wnal Peace IVorth IVhile, and Is Internal lonal Peace Possible To-dapi ' No one would dare question ihe former; but, as for the latter. It will bear study; and that is the subject of our thought. It is well to weigh scrupulously the ob- ject in view; to sift through the most delicate wires of a mental sieve every portion of its existing form ; to study carefully the contending relation of country to country; and then to ask yourself. Is International Peace possible lor the present age? The nucleus of ambition has been styled by some as war, and war as ambition. Alexander may be taken as almost a type of ambition in its usual form, though carried to an extreme. His desire was to conquer, not to inherit or to rule. When news was brought that his father Philip had taken some town, or won some battle, instead of appearing delighted with it, he used to say to his companions, My father will go on conquering till there be nothing extraordinary left for you and me to do. He is said even to have been mortified at the num- ber of stars, considering that he had not been able to conquer one world. Similar to this is the case ol Napoleon. The fact that the wars of the Con- sulate only threw oil on the fire which was to light up that great store of dormant ambition, and which led the successful Emperor to imprudence and faults in his rule of the Empire, is but to say that he was possessed of human qualities. The remarks of Philosophers on the vanity of ambition refer generally to that form of which Alexander and Napoleon may be taken as types — the idea of self-exaltation, not only without any reference to the happiness of others, but even re- gardless of their sufferings. Today these wars for ambition are gone. No more shall we hear of such ravages as those of an Alexander ' s troops, no more shall we read of a Caesar ' s exploits, no more shall we hear the echo of a Napoleon ' s cannons through- out Europe. Wars may be divided into three classes — dynastic, religious, and commercial. The dynastic and religious wars belong to the past ; but the prob- lem for the world today is the commercial war. We are looking at International Peace, but we are not handling it. We are standing awe-stricken and gazing in wonder at its brilliance and magnifi- cence, as it spreads across our illusions like a meteor on an inky sky ; we are influenced by the glorious forward movement it will give to civilization ; it wraps us in the throes of its snow-white, peaceful wings; and it lulls us into a mesmerized concord to its purpose by he harmonious appeal from its many supporters. They will try to prove it to you by logic, by endless chapters of Christianity, but these things only help to propagate its unreality. At length nations will read the riddle: Peace is not possible for the present . ges; they will understand its mean- ing, and not take an allegory for a fact. This, as it has been said, is a mad world, and the inmates of this vast asylum are intent on nothing save re- venge, lust, and superiority, — the latter in all lines and at the cost of anything. It is contrary to the laws of Nature for a mad world to seek Peace. One of the greatest likenesses to which I can com- pare It, is the glittering sword of Napoleon in the beautiful museum of Versailles. The great sword with its hilt studded with diamonds of dazzling brilliance and valued at the sum of four million dollars, is confined in a case directly in front of the main entrance. This is the first thing that attracts ' he eye of the visitor, and it is only natural to the human instincts of man, that he finds himself gradually edging towards the great treasury which seemingly appears to be unprotected from the visitor s hands. Some are prompted by ill inten- tion, while others have a mere curiosity to handle the relic. It is a known fact, told by those who have taken the pains to watch, that upon reaching the 84 case, the visitor thrusts out his hand to sieze the sword, only to find himself checked by a glass of wonderful thickness and so finely transparent that It could not be discerned from the atmospheric medium. Just so is the possibility of International Peace today. We are looking at the real object through a wonderfully transparent medium, which we shall find to be unsurpassable. We must be careful what we grasp for, and not, like the sailors of Ulysses, take bags of wind for sacks of treasury. In fact that great meteoric resemblance, which is the distinguishing lineament of International Peace today, is plainly visible; but the inner sphere, where- of that other is cither a deceitful emblem, or else is a fearful indescribability, is not at all visible. Nor will it be to this generation or several generations to follow. From which I infer that the inner sphere of Fact, in this case of peace, differs infinitely from the outer sphere or sphere of semblance. The outer sphere, or sphere of semblance we have dealt with indefinitely; but the inner embodiment of the spirit, wherein lie the realities of everything, have been ut- terly disregarded. I contend that International Peace is not possible with such a large portion of the world uncivilized. The sublimer qualities of man, which come only with the higher instincts of civilization and edu- cation, are the only properties which seek tran- quillity. The influence of peace brings us nearer to that great Infinity which I maintain that man is approaching as he progresses in his grand arts and sciences; but what does the brute care about In- finity; or what does he know about the Infinity? The uncivilized man is little more than a brute. His existence m this world is barely known. The sole object of his life is revenge and superiority over his fellow animals in physical strength. There is no possible mode of reasoning with him. If we ever do attain International Peace there will always be differences arising between nations which will have to be settled by reasoning, — in truth. International Peace is nothing le ss than laying away the physical qualities for the mental attributes. Since this is the case, how are you going to maintain peace with the man who does not reason? You control the brute by force, and until you educate and civilize man, ou rvill he compelled to control him as })ou control the hrute. What holds the open door for American good in China today? It is our powerful American navy, which China dreacls fcs , master ' s whip. r V What closed those dcK rlat the outbreak of the Boxer trouble of 1900? It was solely a revenge against civilization. Could there ever have been an agreement formed with them which would have averted the trouble? The one and unmistakable answer is. No. The only instrument which could have brought about peace, was that which took place; namely, an allied army marched to the capital of the nation, blew open the gates, took control of the city, beheaded the rulers who were implicated in the dreadful crimes which had been taking place, and held in their hands the govern- mental reins of the Chinese kingdom. Then China began to think. Brule thinl ing is never produced until hrute force is overcome. It is a remarkable fact but an accurate one, that China up till today has never been known to keep a treaty, except the one formed by the united nations in 1 900, and she never would have kept that one unless she had been afraid of their dreadful power. How then can you, in sight of a nation like this, disband your armies and navies, and try to reason with a people to whom reasoning is like singing hymns over a dead tree. We must at all times be ready to use force, or we shall be compelled to return to the primitive ages and allow our country to be overrun by savages as it was when the Indians had sway of force. China is not alone in this class of nations; but many of those countries which we think are highly civilized and christianized have deeply buried with- in their veins that brutish ambition for physicial superiority. There can be no better example of this, than the German nation of today. Germany has always looked upon England with a kind of contempt because she is at the head of the nations in strength. Germany would like to have that rank, and she would not restrain herself from sacrificing anything in order to get it. Woe be to civilization, if she should obtain this place! Her dominant spirit would be unmerciful. A German ' s word is no more reliable than the infidel ' s faith. Germany would have broken the Monroe Doctrine fifty times if she thought she could have overpowered America. She is a black horse, worthy to be watched, and be- longs to that class of nations with whom force must be used to coerce them. The latest idea for obtaining International Kliot— International Alliance.s. 85  1 Peace, is for every nation to disband its army ex- cept that part -which is necessary to keep peace at home ; and to disarm all of its battleships except those which are necessary to help make up a world police. This -ivorld police is to be composed of several vessels from each country and to be sup- ported by the respective nations in time of peace. The vessels will be held at the disposal of the peace tribunal at the Hague and at necessary times to be used m order to maintain peace. The power which breaks the provisions of the peace agreemen t will be coerced to submission by the force of all nations, whose power will be vested in that Fake — ihe Hague. Remember, the Hague is made up of representatives from ail countries. That audacious spirit which represents the Ger- man ' s greed will be there; the ever-devouring Rus- sian will be represented ; the Chinese, who fall upon their prey with ;■ cute sneakingness, cannot be shut out; and, too, the powerful Japanese will have a vote, — all these uncivilized, unchnstiamzed, and un- educated nations, over whom the guardian angel of barbarism still iiovers, and in which not one is there too good, if it could get the chance, to rule the world at the point of a sword ; yes, these will be there. Be careful, peace admirers of today, lest that spirit, which represents these nations, gets control of the Hague. If it does, your tribunal will be a mere instrument, shielded under the curtain of peace, for the voracious aggrandisement and the blood thirsty ambition of such powers. Nations, like individuals, are human, and not the most perfect judicial system ever invented could put an end to strife and violence. When honor and vital interests are at stake, regardless of con- s ' - ' quences, neither the former nor the latter will re- cognize authority, but personal judgment and per- sonal feeling. Doubt has eaten out the heart of peace possibil- ities for today; man — who was once enchanted, and once staggered spell-bound, reeling on the brink of a wonderful scandal — has awakened to his con- sciousness ; and the human mind is seen clinging spasmodically !o an ark of the covenant, which it feels now to be a phantasm — a phantasm indeed. It is one of the highest properties of the modern human being, that he grasps for the realities of life; that he stands upon things and not the shoTV of things. International Peace for today is lacking in reality, if the realities are there they have never tieen revealed — but in truth, they are not there. In all ages man has been behoved to quit theory and return to fact, a thing which he is doing in this particular case. At the present we must keep down on the plane of the earth, and continue the work of the first conference in alleviating the horrors of war and narrowing the chances of conflict by opening wider the doors of arbitration, but here it must rest for awhile. There is one sure way to obtain peace ; that is, educate and civilize the human being. Therein lies the road to International Peace. Without that essential thing, it will always be like a star floating far above this mundane sphere — to be always striven for, but never attained. Finally, with the din of triumphant Law-logic, we shall do well to ask ourselves withal. What says that high and highest court to the verdict? For it IS the court of courts; where the universal soul of Fact and very Truth sits President, — and thith- erward more and more swiftly, with a really terrible increase of swiftness, all causes do at the present send forth a universal verdict of non-confirmation and non-possibility for the realization of Internat- ional Peace today. Fven though the idea of peace be a theory for ;his decade, let us work for that glorious and won- derful end which at length will bring it about, and A ' hich will make it a possibility for the future ages of whose generations may then enjoy Peace on the crotvded marls, Peace on imperial thrones. Peace — Cod of Peace in all their hearts. And Peace in all their homes. Richard F.

Toastmaster: I think you must have known me and my sentiments pretty well when you assigned to me the duty of responding to The Ladies. I confess that it is a subject to which I have given much thought and for which I have expressed un- feigned admiration. Really it touches a tender chord in my bosom, and I suppose that I am pecul- iarly sensitive about it, because my mother was a lady. Ladies exert an influence over man for good or evil. They can lead man into the dark or light roads of life. It was this subtle influence that in the garden led man from light into darkness, and the same influence can lead a man to spend in the presence of a woman the happiest hours of his life. Probably ladies ' intentions are all good; therefore we must overlook their little faults, because, not they, but their swift incessant tongues are the of- fenders. These restless members are wonderful in- struments, sharper than tempered steel, more endur- ing than sculptured bronze, and more persistent than hungry mosquitos on a hot summer evening. Milton knew the vocation of the tongue; for, when asked why he did not educate his daughters in the different languages, he replied: One tongue in a woman is as much as I can bear. My fellow countrymen, the word lady has a peculiar effect upon me. To my ears there is no other word so musical, so full of meaning as that word, My lady. The inexpressible thought that lingers around that word has pointed many a man to his rising star. Oh! what an immeasurable influence it exerts upon the disheartened under all ciicumstances. With their captivating smiles, and penetrating eyes they have so tantilized me that my only ambition is to hear that word lady — or to get one if I can. But what a herculean task! What words of inexpressible grief and disappointment have pierced my sympathizing heart! Only the few who have heard the thundering expression, I am sorry, point blank from the mouth of a woman can ever comprehend. Though I have been brave, courageous, and undaunted on the memorable bat- tle fields of old L. C, a sad remembrance of them shall ever loom up before my tear-stained eyes. Comrades! Comrades! look at my battle-scarred ntck, and tell me whether I shall ever forget the heroic battles we have fought on these Waterlooan plains. 1 hough defeated, allow me the privilege of thanking the ladies who have made me a time-hon- ored, battle-scarred, veteran of sportland. I hope to receive my pension when the ladies discontinue at- tacking me with smiles and notes expressing sorrow- fulness. But now, well-disciplined in sporting tactics, I fix my eyes, my ambition, my affections, my whole life on her who has so long pined for my presence. My sweetheart? I cannot tell you how many I have had or from whence they came, or how they looked, but they all had that tantalizing influence upon me which has cheered many a weary pilgrim on his journey. It has been said that the ladies are a!! angels before marriage, and I sincerely trust they will ever remain so. They are always glad to ;ie us; they yearn for our presence; they believe t ( ' vy word we utter, for we always speak the truth. We can never mistreat them, never dis- appoint them, never forsake them, and to the little maiden whose eyes sparkle like the dew drops from heaven, I respond tonight. My wife? Don ' t laugh. It is true that I have none now, but in the future when I join hands with her at the altar, and proudly call her mine, though I don ' t even know her name or the number ol her shoes, I shall marry her because I love her. I sup to her good health wherever she may be to- night. PARSON. ' ' 109 ' !J owau (Lount (Tlub - Motto: 5 ap broke to keep from spending money.

Oh, I wasn ' t feeling very tony But then came the thought, O my Pony. It IS ou, who, throughout all the year. Have helped many times my mind to clear. ou have cheered me on my weary way And made my life bright, joyous and gay. For Latin and Greek seemed a delight With my Pony by me every night. But in coming years of toil and strife XX ' hen I think of all my wasted life. And talk to my friends of bygone day Then, oh my Pony what shall I say? For while you seemingly eased my pain ou have made my school days all in vain. 16 117 A U ed ing at OaKvlew Ufall A WEDDING of much interest took place m the beautifully decorated west parlor of Oakview Hall, January 21 1911. The contracting parties were, the bride. Miss Majorie Gould (Miss Maie Simpson),; the groom, Lord Frederick Blunderbus (Miss Lillian Plonk). Just before the entrance of the bridal party, Mme. Calve (Miss Corrie Lowman) sang with pathos I ain ' t whining but I ' m just pining for you. At the conclusion of this song the strains of Mendelsshon ' s wedding march was rendered by Teresa Carreno (Miss Marie Rhodes) and then the agony was on. First came the officiating brother. Bishop Haid (Mrs. C. L. Miller). Then came through opposite doors, meeting in center of room, forming a semi-circle, the bridesmaids and grooms- men, viz: Miss Thelma Vanderbilt (Miss Nell Rudicill) and Sir Charles Birmingham (Miss Rosa Wertz), Miss Evelyn Astor (Miss Louise Eargle) and Mr. Benjamin Garfield (Miss Ethel Plonk), Miss Antoinette Wickerfield (Miss Lela Colson) and Mr. Randolph Rockfeller (Miss Lillian Harrill). Then came the flower girls, lit- tle- Misses Kathryne Carnegie (Miss Naomi Cline) and Winifred Rothschild (Miss Estelle Morgan), followed by the ring bearer little Miss Emily Elise Weimar (Miss Margaret Hendrix) carrying a package of chewing gum on a silver tray. Now came the bride on the arm of her maid of honor. Miss Edith Gould (Miss Miriam Deaton. From the opposite door came the groom holding ner- vously to his best man. Sir Francis Barrymore (Miss Annie Barber). Then came the cere- mony — Lord Frederick, I should think in your reduced financial circumstances that you would be glad of this chance and will you promise Marjorie Gould, who, no doubt, has paid an exorbitant price for your title, will you promise to indulge her m all her foolish whims, see that she is petted and pampered, get up early and make the fires while she is snug asleep in her warm nest — and when the air is rent with her scolding, will you stand quietly and take it like a man? Will you give up all your clubs so that you can give your entire time to her? If she asks for a trip to the moon take her. Obey her in all things. Will you do this???? Marjorie Gould will you take Lord Frederick with all his faults and love him to distraction, wait upon him, pay all his debts and see that he looks upon no other woman — Teach him to cook and save servant hire — When all others forsake him you do so also and when he is about to take his yearly bath, will you get out his clean clothing — see that his socks are darned and his pantaloons mended — Will you do this???? I trust you are both very grateful to me for this honor I have bestowed upon you by making you two one — you are now married so help me and you too. The bride was never more charming than in her wedding gown of brocaded satin, en train, trimmed in real lace and pearls. The veil was caught up with a handsome diamond sunburst, present of the groom. The groom was handsomely attired in a Prince Albert. Immediately following the ceremony a recep- tion was tendered a large concourse of friends. De- lightful dinner served in four courses, viz: Apples, bananas, peanuts and candy. After the reception the bride and groom left for parts unknown on the top floor. 118 c: 3 o i- U ' . •3 r t3 1 -a 5 6 p. 1 c be ' 5 o PL, z c 5 — O •a o 1 O o re o ' re 2 -a o be 5 1 p c o re Q 5; c X 3 be be 3 w bf) be be ' 5 o o c ho c ' 5, be ' be re s i 2 1—. j 5 . i J: o o s s be 5 r. ■ o ' e m ' ■a c e2 n .o a o o o o o o 1 c X O o o re o ' o o o be c y. ; d ■£ c ' 0- s r c c J fe a 1 c t- c X (5 c i- c c c J 119 (TolUge UoKes Parson: (To O. B. R., who is just coming from Logic exam.) What did you do for Fritz? O. B. R. Confound! I eat him up. I handed in the best paper that I ever did in my life. O. B. R. (A few days later to Parson who is bringing the Logic papers) : Let me see mine! I know I eat him alive! How much did I get on it? Parson: Fifty-six. O. B. R.: Well, ril be confound! Prof. Whitmore (to Fatty ): What kind of a stone do you think they will give me when I am gone? Fatty (coolly) : Brimstone. Parson told Prof. Fritz the other day that he knew a good way to catch rabbits, and when Prof. Fritz asked him how, he told him to crouch be- hind a wall and make a noise like a turnip. Prof. Fritz said, I know a better way; you get in a cab- bage patch and look natural. M. M. Kipps once asked Prof. Bill to lend him a quarter. Prof. Bill said: Didn ' t you get a $10.00 check yesterday? Yes, said Kipps. Where ' s your money now? I went up town last night and met a friend, and we had supper at the Huffry. The bill was $4.00. Then I bought $1.00 worth of cigars. And we went to the theatre and that cost $2.00. After the theatre we went down to the drug store and I spent $2.00 there. That only makes $9.00, said Prof. Bill. What became of the other $1.00? Kipps seemed puzzled, and finally said: Why I must have spent that foolishly. 1 121 J arewell Farewell, dear comrades, one and all. The time has come when we must pari ; Although ' tis hard, — some tears may fall- 1. et ' s strive to keep a cheerful heart. 1 he end is near, our ways divide, — Perhaps to meet on earth no more. Though we in distant lands abide. We ' ll not forget dear old Lenoir.
