DEDICATED TO E. A. ELAM A grand hero of the Cross, President of the Board of Trustees of David Lips- comb College, and a true and loyal friend to the institution. The Class of 1925 affectionately dedicates this volume of ‘ The Backlog.’ B.A. ELAM Five History RADUAL progressive development is a law of nature. David Lips- comb College had a very small beginning; it began with nine young men, October 5, 1891. No name was given ‘this seemingly insignificant school. However, soon after this it received the name “Nashville Bible School,” as thirty- two were enrolled during the first year. Forty-two were enrolled the second year, and fifty-two were en- rolled the third year. This data is given to show that the growth of this institution has been gradual, yet substantial. The first session was begun in a rented house on Fillmore Street. The second year it was moved to South Cherry Street, and that year also it occupied a rented house. The next move was to South Spruce Street, or what is now called Eighth Avenue, South. Here it owned its first building. It continued here until the fall of 1903, at which time is was moved to its present location. Again we see the law of development. It began in a rented house and now occupies five modern, commodious buildings which are owned by the College. The executive feature of the institution also has conformed to the law of progressive development. Brother James A. Harding was at the head of the school when it began. He assumed no title, neither was he given any title the first year. Later, he was called the Superintendent of the school. The regular faculty for the year 1894-95 consisted of only five teachers—David Lipscomb, J. A. Harding , J. W. Grant, J..S. Ward-and WA. Bryans No titles or degrees were used in connection with the names of the members of the faculty, “though all of them had college degrees. J. A. Harding is usually called the first President of the College: However, he was not designated i in the catalogues as President, but as Superintendent. Brother Harding severed his connection with the school in 1901 and went to Bowling Green, Ky., and William Anderson came the same year and was designated as Superintendent of the school. He remained with the school until his death in 1905. He was placed in the catalogues of those years as Superintendent of the school. E. A. Elam came to the school in 1906, and was designated in the catalogue as Superintendent until 1908. The catalogue of 1908-09 gives E. A. Elam as President of the school. This is the first year that the chief executive of the school is called “President.” Correctly speak- ing, E. A. Elam was the first “President” of the institution. ‘At first there was no definite outline of courses offered, and no attempt was made to conform to any standard of education. Emphasis was placed upon the Bible and such other studies as would help one understand the Bible. The Bible has been the chief textbook of every student for thirty-three years. Emphasis has been placed upon the moral and spiritual development of its students. The College now enjoys a high rating among educational institutions. It has standard courses and is an ‘accredited college. Its enrollment has grad- ually increased from year to year. There are twenty-five members of the faculty and an enrollemnt of above three hundred students. Seventeen States and Canada are represented in its student body. It is now enjoying the greatest year of its history. It maintains an A-1 grade high school and offers four years of collegiate work. a wating } ALR | | rere oo ag Aa ; ; we e ) | —_ py yin .

Through this continued and thorough preparat ion he has been able to do much for David Lipscomb College since he has been its President: It is steadily growing in numbers, efficiency, and good standing among other colleges. Under President Boles, David Lipscomb College makes no boast of what it is not and claims of what it cannot do, but stands upon its own intrinsic worth and merit. It strives to maintain its standing as the mother of all schools of its kind—a first-class, all-around college, in which, as its chief feature, the Bible as a textbook is taught daily to every pupil. Brother Boles ranks among the clearest, safest, and best Bible teachers. In the judgment of the Backlog, he is a backlog to this fire, and David Lips- comb College is to be congratulated in having such a President.

After examining the craniums of the Seniors, he predicted the following, which has been carefully arranged and preserved: The first man the Doctor examined was Roy Vaughn. He said Roy has a type of head which he has never found outside the State of Mississippi. He found that Roy has a pastoral head, which indicates that he will be a mis- sionary to Mississippi. The Doctor then went through the trying ordeal of examining Elmo’s head. He refused to commit himself until he had felt of Miss Baars’ head. Then a look of enlightenment passed over his features, and he said: “Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other.” He offered no explanation. Dr. Forecast noticed Sam Tatum and Leslie Carver, and called them up together. His manner was that of a naturalist who has found a very rare specimen. “Boys,” he said, “you will both find the gentle Russians ready to receive you with open arms. I predict that you will be authorities on the social conditions of Russia.” When the Doctor called Alice Blair forward, Herman habitually followed. After examination, he muttered: “So let it be.” And then: “What nature has joined together, let no man put asunder.” He said Herman would be editor of the World’s Almanac, and Alice would be the mistress of statistics. Bill Mason was quietly dismissed with the assurance that he would. be president of a bank in Yucatan. When he heard Greer’s voice, he said, without even examining him, that he would soon be the Caruso of Sequatchie Valley. (Greer sings bass.) The Doctor then called James Camp, Henry Carter, Graves Williams, and Owen White. After a minute examination, he said that they would be great lawyers and logicians of their age. Otanrice cra wieysene said: ble will bera ereat mathematician and .an authority on eclipses, comets, weather conditions, etc. He predicted that Philip Parham would be the Secretary of Food on Sand- wich Island, and his slogan would be “Parhamize.” After examining some of the fair ones, he said they would be keepers of a chain of restaurants owned by the three great magnates of the future— Dixon,-Copeland, and Johnson. The fair ones referred to are: The Simms sisters, the Lewers sisters, Nelle Carver, Catherine Johnson, Cullie Gaither, Ora Lee Winters, and Lois Cullum. These restaurants will be noted for their tumblers of fresh air and plates of sunshine. He found that Oma Morton, Hazel Dennison, and Joyce Whitelaw would brave the dangers of Alabama and be school-teachers. Miss Smith, according to the Doctor, is to be a famous divorce attorney. Nineteen 2S! | (SR a Sa a a ec | asses Yo | As Bill Brown approached the chair, the Doctor reached for his kid gloves. After a careful examination of Bill’s head, he said that he would make a name for himself as athletic director at the Home of the Feeble-Minded. On examining the skulls of Miss Camp, Miss Russell, and Miss Williams, he closed his eyes in a mysterious way and said: “I see a hat shop with this sign, ‘If you have nothing on your mind, come in and buy a creation designed exclusively by our own artists.’ ” Lillian Cox, Freda Landers, and Gladys-Lynch were the next to be taken in consideration. -He saids “I see an old maids’ ‘convention: Lillian Gox 41s president, and Freda, the sergeant-at-arms, is having trouble with Gladys, who has grown frantic bewailing her fate of ‘single blessedness.’ The pur- pose of the convention is to buy tooth paste for the starving Chinese.” When La Nelle came forward he assumed an air of curiosity, and ex- claimed, with evident sincerity: “My daughter, you shall be the beacon light of a famous skipper as he sails o’er life’s solemn main!” Of Miss Soyars and Miss Baines he said: “They will be sardine dealers along the coast of Cape Cod.” Personally, we predict that they will “sell out their sardines on this mundane sphere.” ; When the Doctor saw George Kinnie and Alex Burford step forward, he appeared to be: dismayed. He said: “Boys, I see you are men of destiny. After being tossed about for some time on the billows of love, you will at last exile yourselves in the Canary Islands, and there listen to the nightin- gale’s sweetest notes, leaving the broken-hearted maids at home, waiting and sighing under the old apple tree.” He quickly dismissed Eleanor Frazier with the remark that she had a bril- liant outlook in the field of poetry and drama. Miss Ruth McCarley and Miss Irene Burch, he predicted, would be famous relief workers for entombed cave explorers. We predict for them, many days of sweat-begrimed countenances. The Doctor said that Kirk and Smith would be menders of souls and soles in the far-away country of Georgia, and that Miss Northern and Miss McMahan would be the authors of a famous household book on how to make egg custards and how to cure the gout. When the writers came forward to be tested, he “folded his tent, like the Arabs, and silently stole away.” WOOD AND CLARK.

The A| Junior Class of 1925 also is worthy of more than ordinary consid- Oo} eration, because of its ancestry. Everybody is glad to boast of an- SF cestors, and will spend much time and money tracing them. Why, if John or Mary have ancestors of note, their stupidity is never noticed; but the students are anxious to have their company, because it is something grand to be with people who have honorable lineage. Now, let no one think too harshly of the Junior Class, nor criticize its achievements, because it is a great Class, with royal blood coursing through each member’s veins. We can do anything on earth possible—cross over barriers of obstacles, climb mountains of success, even though the path be | rugged. If you don’t believe this, just examine our pedigrees and see what ancestry we have. Look at the huge, Apollo-like forms of our young men on the courts of action. Don’t you see that they are related to those great men of Sparta? To hear them expound the great principles of learning is to hear Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, of Athens. Then consider the goddess-like grace and bearing of our young ladies. Who has seen fairer faces and lovelier forms treading this terrestrial globe? In each countenance can be seen Venus, Cleopatra, and all those ancient god- desses of grace and beauty. Our examinations must be considered, too. I am aware that we are marked with “D” sometimes, but our instructors have just overlooked something that confirms the conclusion that the blood of Egypt and Greece flows in our veins. They didn’t remember we had a pedigree showing great ancestry. We are the last of our line. Behind us is a long line of distinguished an- cestors which reaches as far back as Adam. Before us is a great future. So all there is for us, to do is to carve our fortunes with our great implements of ambition, handed down to us by a long, rich-blooded lineage. Nothing | | shall be left undone, no stone left unturned, and the door of success shall be left ajar for those classes that follow after us.

EREED VicE PRESIDENT OF COLLEGE PrincipaL HicH ScHooLt DEPARTMENT era=a| BOVE IS THE photograph of A. G. Freed, who for two years has : been Principal of the High School Department and Vice President of David Lipscomb College. Vice President Freed came originally from Indiana; but he has been in the South, most of the time in Tennnessee, for more than thirty years. At first he taught a little country school at Essary Springs, Tenn. Later, his name became widely known in the educational world. He has been President of Georgia Robertson Chris- tian College, Henderson, Tenn.; Southwestern Christian College, Denton, Texas; and Freed-Hardeman College, Henderson, Tenn. During all those years as an educator, he taught the Bible regularly and stirred hundreds of hearts to higher aspirations. David Lipscomb College holds him in much esteem; loves him for his gentle speech, cheerful countenance, ripe wisdom, and humble demeanor. However, the Backlog Staff does not doubt that, as another scribe has said: “Men like A. G. Freed will never be properly appre- ciated till they quit the walks of men.” Fifty-eight See a aN i ee————E oe Ee | SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL OFFICERS PVE MIR St po ENS] of ao 8 Se ON eee Ue OS Nashville) Tenn.

This material arrived at David Lipscomb College on September 15, 1924, and on September 30 was fitted together in its present form. This ladder bids fair to become one of the greatest works of educational archi- tecture ever produced in this city. Some one has said: “There must be considerable learning in high school; those who come bring so much knowledge, and those who leave carry so little away.” Be that as it may, the Senior High Class has helped to make this the most successful year in the history of David Lipscomb College. They have crossed swords with the Juniors in college work, and have shown that the members of that class need fear no other competition so greatly as theirs, unless indeed it be that of the Junior Class of next year. Besides having some of the best athletes of the school among their number, this class has orators who have won medals in the past, whose flowery speech makes one think of the silver-tongued orators of ancient Rome, whose elo- quence brings to mind the glory of Demosthenes. (“By contrast,” did you say? No! No!) The musisians of this group have produced sweet, harmo- nious sounds, such as have caused the deaf ear to be unstopped and the heart of stone to melt in tears. Their singers chant hymns like unto those of the sweet singer of Israel, and their artists paint pictures so true to life that the bards come and pluck the cherries from off the canvas. At any rate, if they have not yet achieved these marvels in art, literature, and music, they still hope to do so. Hope is equal to anything. In their journey up the stream of life, this band of pilgrims has chosen as its motto: “Paddle your own canoe.” This has been a characteristic of each member of the class throughout the year; each one loyal and true to the class; each, with his purpose in view, has kept his hand to the oar, and slowly but surely the craft is being driven upward toward the final goal of success and a diploma. Volumes might be written of the achievements of this class in the past, but these fade away when the thought of the mighty future looms before it. Present opportunities are bright, yet the dream of the future shines forth as a light set on a high hill. Now one fond dream of success is realized, and with ‘what success each one meets in the future depends upon how well he ELMERATAYLOR. “paddles his own canoe.” Siaty-three (Fp DRI TT Sis | (ee ee || a | SPECIAL STUDENTS ToLinE RussELL Mitprep FarmBy Guiapys Lyncu Dorotruy FREEMAN Sixty-four Sixty-five THIRD-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS : Mary TITTLe Dorotuy BREEDING AorseE Herndon CLARENCE GARNER Oo o D TARE ae ANG Oo Junior High School CLASS ROLL James Byers Our Curr ‘THELMA DICKERSON FLoreNcE DENTON Forrest DEacon Hazet Hype CiypE Hae A.tan Harwoop Basti Hay EvizaBetu Kirk Joun P.

May this page serve as a memorial to the Sapphonean girls, that in the years to come, glancing through our Annual, we may thrill again with the glorious memories of our col- legs days! And especially will those memories be dear that center around the Sapphonean Literary Society. The defeats, victories, and honors shared with our sister society, both in literary activities and on the athletic field, will flash again through our minds, and we will live again many of the happy scenes of 1924-25. The great love and admiration we bear for our Society and for each other will last forever. The Sapphonean Literary Society was founded March 10, 1914, and surely the charter members must have had the truest and most loyal hearts in the world; for had it not been founded on such a high plane, it could never have attained the heights to which it has soared. The motto—‘Thus we journey to the stars”—which they adopted reveals to us the fact that the goal was set high, and each year since the Sapphonean girls have strived, and not in vain, to reach it. Even when the roll last year contained fewer names than ever before our works continued to shine forth, and the “pep” and spirit of the Sapphonean Society will never be smothered. This spirit of determination was plainly shown in the winning of the Jordan Loving Cup this year. After having lost two straight games, we smiled and believed our Society would hold its own. It did. TVThough we are proud of our trophy, we feel a keener and deeper pride in having defeated such a splendid and clean-spirited team. . We also boast of having an abundance of literary talent, and have furnished many interesting numbers in the joint programs. Also, a great amount of talent was displayed in the operetta, “Ghosts of Hilo,” given in February. With the wonderful spirit and loyalty of the Sapphonean, girls and their great desire to make our Society the best in school, we will always think that the Sapphonean Literary Society is an ideal society.

The truth of this statement is clearly proven by the great number of societies throughout the land wearing this name. Now we want to point especially to the chapter bear- ing this name at David Lipscomb College, and to some of the facts that prove that the spirit of Calliope still lives in its members here. First, we call attention to the considerable number of earnest and loyal boys now in college, who are faithful workers in the Calliopean Literary Society at David Lipscomb College is clearly shown by the part Calliopeans concrete evidence of the Calliopean spirit shown by the great number of successful men that are now on life’s firing line, winning the victories of right and honor. Third, that the right spirit still lives in the Calliopean Society at David lipscomb College is clearly shown by the part Calliopeans have taken in the activities of the school during the past year. In athletics the Calliopeans have been more than successful, for the Blue and Gold have not once suffered defeat. The honor of taking five basket- ball games in succession is doubly great when one recalls the excellent and honorable competition offered by our brother society. Not only has success been ours in this, but in other things as well, for the Calliopean spirit of work and loyalty (to a cause) won for the third and last time the silver loving cup given by the management of The Babbler, thus securing it for a perma- nent trophy. On February 22, the birthday of its founder, the Calliopean Society inaugu- rated an annual declamation contest to honor and perpetuate the memory of its illustrious founder and to develop in its members the spirit and apprecia- tion of oratory. The Calliopean Society is the first and only society of David Lipscomb College to undertake an affair of this nature. Judging from the success of this venture, the’ Calliopeans have just cause to be proud. This is another step toward the success of the society and a manifestation of the spirit that justifies its existence, for from these boys will come some of the orators and public leaders of the future. : The unlimited bounds of our motto—“Truth Our Guide, Success Our Aim” — indicates greater possibilities for the Calliopean Society. That the Calliopean spirit will continue to go onward and upward is certain. We would here extend to all young men, newcomers to David Lipscomb College, a very cordial invitation to pledge their faith with ours, that we may all together be guided by “Truth” to a great and true “Success.” Bighty-seven CALLIOPEAN SNAPSHOTS ght Highty-ei Lf cman) seen cm eee Pe NS SA Spe SAIS TSS ES SE TS Sy | (BS | Davin ABERNATHY Howarp Brown Lestiz CARVER LuTHEeR Deacon Harvey Dopp CLARENCE GARNER CiypE Hae JouNn JAcKson Pau Jones Rogpert NEIL Car Pace Emo PuiILuies Rocer RussELu Tuomas TITTLE Frere THomas Owen WHITE Bert TARKINGTON Highty-nine Lipscomb Literary Society MEMBERS Owen AGEE CLypE BritTTaiIn Ceci CLARKE Forrest DEACON ANDREW DICKERSON James GREER _ Ernest Hotmes ARMSTRONG JONES ANDREW Mason Topp PorTEeR Puitire PaRHAM Anpy T.

We have striven only to attain those things that really count in this life, and to implant and adhere to the principles of good living as set forth in the Bible. For past achievements of the society there are no regrets. In the midst of David Lipscomb College activities the grand old “Lipscomb Banner” has gleamed with the luster that comes with success—a luster that no reverse can ever dim. Men have gone forth from the Lipscomb Society who are leaders in life’s various endeavors. These men look back to that society that inspired in them such high ideals of moral conduct with a great degree of love and reverence. They have for the society words of highest praise. The Lipscomb Society has won, if not praise, respect from all men. Of the future, we pray that the only true and living God will overrule our unwise decisions; decisions influenced by the glamour, and often false color, of things as they appear to students; decisions made under the handicap of human limitations; that we may not strive for things great and glorious in the sight of men, but in the vision and understanding of the Creator of all things.

So it is with a group. That group or society known as “Kappa Nu” has played such a prominent part in the school activi- ties of David Lipscomb College that many have requested its history. Picking up a chronicle of history and turning to the section of “Famous Societies,’ and to the chapter entitled “Kappa Nu,” this history is revealed. In the first years of the Nashville Bible School’s existence there were no literary societies. There was much opposition to them. “Resolved, That Literary Societies Are Unscriptural” was a most frequent and popular sub- ject for debate. The negative side must have had the better debaters. for in 1900 the entire school was organized into one society—the Babylonian. The boys were the workers in this society, the girls being merely honorary members. In 1904 it was thought best that the boys organize into two societies. This being done, the girls were left without any society until 1906. At that time the girls were organized into one society—the Sigma Rho. There being no competition, and membership and attendance not being compulsory, there was very little interest displayed. This condition continued till 1914. On March 10, 1914, the girls were called together to formulate some plan by which interest could be aroused in society work. Two girls were selected —Miss Paralee Cowan, of Alabama, and Miss Eulalia Holland, of Texas— to choose as in a spelling match. After all the girls had been chosen, the next step was the selection of a name. Miss Cowan and her chosen ones were desirous of retaining the name “Sigma Rho,” but Brother Boles, Presi- tent of the College, thought this would hardly be fair, as there were Sigma Rhos on.Miss Holland’s side. A committee from Miss Cowan’s group then asked for a Greek-letter name. Various combinations of Greek letters were made, and finally “Kappa Nu” was decided upon—a name that quickens the heartbeats of many girls who have attended David Lipscomb College. To Miss Holland’s group was given the name “Sapphonean.” The one to whom each society is most indebted for its name is our friend and school President, H. Leo Boles. The Kappa Nu Society may then be said to have had its birth March 10, 1914, with an Alabama girl as its first President. Since 1914 the history of the Kappa Nus has been so prominent that it needs little emphasis. It has been exceedingly active in both literary and athletic lines. One of the laws of its constitution is that at each meeting a study must be made of a literary character and one of his works. The e Ninety-three (SSS Tio | | a SS eS || oar | | USES) dictorians of the High School and College Senior Classes were Kappa Nus. This year there are in the College Senior Class twenty-nine girls doing work toward a diploma. Twenty-five of these are Kappa Nus. As this history is being written there is on the desk the honor roll for this the seventh school month. Twenty-two girls’ names appear on this honor roll. Eighteen of them are Kappa Nus. This will suffice to show the origin and work of the Kappa Nus. Their history has been, and shall be, nobly kept. Let it be here resolved that their upward and onward march shall ever continue. From the sky serene and far may they ever hear and obey that. voice, clear as a falling star, crying: “Excelsior!” ELEANOR ‘FRAZIER. 0 society has been well drilled on how to accept both victory and defeat.

Hereto- a) fore, a triangular debate has been held between Abilene Christian College, Harper College, and David Lipscomb College. Since the contract has expired, it has been thought best to confine forensic activities to places nearer home. The expenses for such debates have been very great, and each of the three colleges stands for one great principle. In order, therefore, to advertise David Lipscomb College in Tennessee Colleges, the debates this year are with local schools and colleges. A distinct feature of the forensic program is the separation of the high school and college activities. Committees for both departments have worked out schedules for debates with other institutions. For the year debates are secured with Burritt College, of Spencer, Tenn., and Bryson College, of Fayetteville, Tenn. These debates are collegiate. As the Backlog goes to press, the dates have been set, the teams are at work, yet no debate has taken place. The two college teams selected for each de- bate with question for discussion follow: Burritt College accepted the proposition: “Resolved, that the United States Should Adopt the Child-Labor Law Now Pending in Congress.” The affirma- tive team for this debate is composed of Clayton L. James, of Milan, Tenn., and John R. Hovious, of Nashville, Tenn. The negative team is made up of Walter Campbell, of Shelbyville, Tenn., and Owen L. White, of Florence, Ala. Debate with Burritt College comes Saturday evening, February 28. Victory for David Lipscomb College is anticipated in this initial forensic event. The same question which Burritt accepted was chosen by Bryson. The debate is scheduled for March 28. To deny the proposition at Fayetteville, CA le Garner, ot bartietr 1 exdcswand len. Canter, ot Spartas Tenn, iare chosen. To affirm the proposition on home territory are Leslie G. Thomas, of Flint, Mich., and Conrad Copeland, of Bronson, Fla. These men promise well to uphold David Lipscomb College’s forensic standard and to win for the college that recognition abroad for which purpose a strong effort is made. The High-School Department has completed arrangements with Dickson High School for a debate to be held March 6. The subject for debate is: “Resolved, That Too Much Attention is Being Given to Athletics in the One Hundred Twenty-nine Schools of To-Day.” The affirmative team selected from David Lipscomb High School is John P. Lewis, of Nashville, Tenn., and Sewell P. Lowry, of Kentucky. The negative team is represented by Emerson Simpkins, of Nash- ville, Tenn., and Karl Pitts, of Murfreesboro, Tenn. As the Backlog goes to press, the teams are eagerly and earnestly at work on their debates. The entire college stands as a solid wall behind the men, and trusts them to meet the situations firmly and bring home victories for their school. Thus may the college secure broader recognition and the men who participate in the debates get from their efforts such development as will greatly redound to their success in life. March 23, 1925.—Since the above was written the Debating Teams have won two splendid debates. The debate with Burritt College was unanimously won both at Burritt and at David Lipscomb College, and the debate with Dickson High School was won by the David Lipscomb College teams at both places.

S. W. Strauss, President of the American Society for Thrift, said: “Tf you would learn a lesson in the constructive value of THRIFT, study the lives of our Presidents.” The early struggles of Abraham Lin- coln and the disadvanages under which he became one of the greatest men of all time are known the world over. As a boy, Lincoln, “the rail- splitter,” worked for ten years on his father’s farm, and it is said that all of his schooling amounted to only one year, ; Andrew Johnson came from a poor family in North Carolina, and as a boy was apprenticed for ten years to a tailor, during which time he taught himself to read and write. Warren G. Harding started his life by doing chores on a farm in Ohio. For several years he earned his live- lihood as a typesetter, school teacher, insurance agent, and newspaper re- porter. Calvin Coolidge’s first job was as chore boy on his father’s farm. He worked his way through college. His vacations were spent earning money. These are not new facts. Every schoolboy should know them. Every young man beginning a business ca- reer should be reminded of these splendid examples of obstacles over- come. The lives of most really successful men constitute our best lessons in TERE ai: GET THE THRIFT HABIT! You may not be able to destroy all of your detrimental habits, but you can create some good habits that will get in the way of others—that will crowd the bad habits out.
