Two ideals have always been before him from which to choose his course of action,— Divine Revelation, or what God wants man to be; and the World Ideal, or what man wants himself to be. To God, man is helpless to recover himself without Divine aid. To man, he is sufficient within himself. He has ever been, in his own eyes, the great image with legs of iron, body of brass, breast and arms of silver all crowned with the head of gold. Egypt, Bablyon, Greece and Rome each in turn thought to lift the race to the world ideals. Of these the world was worthy. They followed her program; they labored for her glory; they sacrificed their lives on her altars. Her gifts were ample rewards for their labors. But they could give to the World nothing better than they had received from her. Side by side with these, lived men who saw beyond the World ideals. For Egypt, there was a Moses; for Babylon, there was a Daniel; for Greece and Rome there was a Paul. Although men of like passions with their fellows, they showed by their lives and deeds that they were in touch with the powers and glories of another world. T hese men of God defied Kings and put to flight their armies. Empires rose or fell at their word and they made history at God’s command. The earth and sky obeyed their voice: seas dried up be¬ fore them and rivers stopped in their courses. The sun and moon obeyed them and even death, at their command, meekly brought back the prey it had taken. Mighty men were they, who brought to the World something the World knew nothing of. Of these, the World was not worthy. But the final conquest was won for us by the Man of Galilee. The road He traveled was the roughest ever trod by man. The sweat of blood, the night arrest, the judgment hall, the crown of thorns, the heavy cross, the cruel nails and the despairing cry, all tell of the mightiest conflict the world had ever seen. But the rending rocks, the quaking earth, the opened graves, HIS empty tomb and the ascension cloud proclaim again the victory for man. And under His banner came Peter and Paul and Luther and Wesley and Finney and Moody, all mighty men, “of whom the world was not worthy.” Is it expecting too much that in this, the twentieth century, there may still go forth from the halls of our Christian colleges men and women who, through faith in Jesus Christ, may obtain promises, work righteousness, and subdue kingdoms Men and women of whom the world is not worthy?

Transfered from Olivet College. The Seniors View Point HTHE glory and joy of attainment is ours. We have completed our college days. We have reached the goal for which we have been striving these four years. It has required the sacrifice of time for training to run successful¬ ly the four laps: abashed Freshmen, sophisticated Sophomores, indifferent Jun¬ ior, supercilious Senior: but the joy of attainment is ours. We do not reckon the cost of our college training only in dollars and cents spent for tuition and books; but also in the energy expended, the “grit” applied, and the “stickto- itiveness” exercised. We have discovered that we live in an universe of infini¬ tudes. Our dogmatism has become a diminishing variable. We hope zero will be its limit. There have been times, however, when our sentiments could best have been voiced by this little verse: “Oh, life would be all rosey With no “Rosey” bills to pay; And the sky would be all sunny If the clouds would stay away; If it weren’t for rhyme and meter Writing poetry would be a snap; College life would be much sweeter If through classes we could nap!” Although we have had our trials, we will carry away from Marion Col¬ lege memories that we will value all of our lives. At the close of this race we have come, not to a completion, but to a commencement. We have finished our course, it is true, but we have finished this one only that we might better run a longer and more difficult one. We have won this prize that we might better win the greater prizes of life—life as the poet sees it: “Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll l Leave thy low vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou at length are free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life ' s unresting sea!” M. C., ’26 ALBERT L.

As we think in retrospect Of those years, Fondest days we recollect; And the tears Film across our eyes, because Our course in old M. C. now draws Near its close. Yet Nature’s laws Rush the years. But ' tis not how we have spent Here, the past; On the future we are bent Now to cast One more year: a better score, More success than heretofore, May we crowd it running o’er, This our last. And when the world will boast someday Of great men And able women, it may pay To us then Tribute likewise; ’cause our key To success the motto ’ll be Of the class of old M. C. T wenly-seven. Motto: “We work to turn our hopes to certainties.” Page Forty-one Sophomores T ' 0 STUDY history, say the wise, is to study the lives of great men. Accord- inly may we claim, with pardonable pride, a page in the recorded history of Marion College during the year 1925-26. Though our homes are scattered far and wide over the greater part of our nation, at heart we are one in our loyalty to our Alma Mater. The Sophomore Class is richly endowed with an unusually large number of leaders. From this class have come officers of the three Literary Societies, the Athletic Association and the Student Conference. Our ranks have also produced members of both the Journal and Marionette Staffs. Not only are our talents displayed by the leaders but by the abilities of other members of the class in literary activities. But our life does not wholly consist of such serious and deeply directed efforts. There are times when we realize the full meaning of the old adage, “Work while you work and play while you play’’ and wholeheartedly freeing our minds from the duty of gaining .profound knowledge enter joyfully into the frolics and gaieties of social life. We have enjoyed Autumn Parties, weiner roasts, and candy bees. We continue to “sing our glees and play our games ever enriching our lives by forming new friendships and giving our all of friendship in return. Among our pleasures and blessings during this second year of our college life has been our fellowship with the Seniors. We have enjoyed many happy hours with them and have benefited by their influence and the inspiration which they lend. Let us keep the loadstone away from our compass that we may travel straight to the goal which the Seniors have reached, with strength of character and knowledge that will enable us not only to see a need but to min¬ ister to it. We close this our Sophomore year more seriously than we have ever closed a year, not with longing glances backward but with joyous forward vision. We realize more each day the prevailing truth of these lines: What is, is. You cannot it undo. But can forward face. Nor backward look, If you would make the most of life If you would triumph in the end. M. J. A., ’28 Page Forty-twc President Secretary B. DeGraw Carroll Mildred J.

We have candy parties, weiner roasts, and even skip classes once in a while—just by way of agreeing with the Juniors that there is more to College than being able to read of Virgil’s wisdom. After all, being a Freshman isn’t half bad! Page Forty-four The Freshmen ' 29 met on the campus of Marion College for the first time in 1925. We were thirty-three strangers seeking friends and a Before September was over, we knew that both of our desires had been granted. Soon it became evident that we desired to have a class whose record might be “different.’’ Our first task was to quiet the fears of the upper classmen, for each Freshman class must prove its capability before it is accepted “at par.” We immediately assumed an active part in all of the religious ac¬ tivities. Later we discovered that we must organize to develop a spirit of co¬ operation in our own class. Since that time our members have assumed the responsibilities of school life that every normal person desires. One of our number represents his class as an Inter-Collegiate debater, another is alternate for the debaters. The big bass singer in the College Quartette helps to hold Freshman standards high. School athletics give us an opportunity to demon¬ strate our prowess in physical encounters. Marion has taught us to play square in whatever occupies our minds and bodies—and “let merit seize the victor ' s crown.” Last fall the Sophomores said: “Freshman men wear green caps! Fresh¬ man women wear green ribbons!” Like it? Of course we did! And say, didn’t that touch of green add brightness to the campus? Didn ' t it make you happy to see the smiles we gave you? We would not prophesy of the future. We are sufficiently happy to know that we have a part in maintaining the Marion Spirit. College Freshmen President.J. Wilbur Howell Secretary.

In addition to his work as a pas¬ tor he has been doing splendid work as a post graduate in the theological department. P. R. LANGE. A.B. From Tabor College. Mr. Lange came to Marion for the purpose of continuing the study of Theology. His fine Christian spirit has caused him to be one of the most popular divinity students. His life is a constant inspiration to those who know him to do greater things for their Saviour. Page Forty-eight RUFUS DELAND REISDORPH. A.B. Mr. Reisdorph is another of Marion ' s graduates who reaffirmed his belief in his Alma Mater as an ideal institution for higher education. He spent the first two years of his college career at Miltonvale Col¬ lege. The three following years in Marion were spent in obtaining an A.B. dc.gree and in working toward securing a B.D. LEORA VAN MATRE, A.B Miss Van Matre was graduated from Marion Col¬ lege with the class of ’25. This year she matriculated in the school of Theology as a Post Graduate. Her record in student activities is remarkable. The depart¬ ment may well lament the fact that she was called, early in the year, to teach at Inglewood Seminary.

As a re¬ sult of raising of the intelligence standards of the people generally, by the com¬ pulsory attendance upon the public schools until the ages of sixteen to eighteen, varying in different states, a new demand has been made of those who arfe to be the spiritual leaders of the coming generation. Whether people desire it to be so or not, leadership is not generally recognized which is not equal or above those to be led, in matters of intelligence. On account of the above, young people who have the call of God upon them, are being urged to secure a good academic training, then to continue spe¬ cific training for the work to which they are called. To this challenge young people are responding in increasing numbers. Bible School courses are open to all who can do the work, regardless of previous preparation. The Th.B. Course is open to high school graduates; and the B.D. Course is open to col¬ lege graduates. The Bible School course prescribes Bible and related subjects, with some English and History. | The Th.B. course is made up of about half of such subjects as every Christian worker needs, and the balance of the subjects are theological, very much the same as are contained in the B.D. course, with slightly less-exacting requirements.] The B.D. course is made up entirely of Bible and theological subjects, and constitutes all-round equipment in the theological field. The Th.B. degree conferred upon those completing the course is the equivalent of the A.B. degree, and can be used as a basis for the Masters or the B D. degree. Comparing the school year 1925-26 with the previous year, progress is to be seen in several respects. Not only has there been an increase in enrollment within the school, but there has been a decided moving up in relation to the higher courses. The enrollment for the regular year has been 44, distributed through the courses as follows: Graduate (B.D. and M.A.), 4; Th.B., 23; Bible School, 1 3. With the opening of the school year a new instructor was added to the faculty, in the person of Thomas T. Smith, Th.B. This increase in teaching force added considerably to the efficiency of the school- All instructors have maintained teaching schedules as (heavy as is consistent with good work, and have ably supported the various courses. During the past two summers there have been conducted sessions of the School of Theology, lasting four weeks. These summer sessions have at¬ tracted to them ministers and teachers from several states. Regular instructors have taught in the summer school, assisted by special help. Page Fifty-six e) bavioneile While the student body of the School of Theology is predominantly Wesleyan Methodist, five or six denominations are represented. Each year a number of trained young people leave our halls and go out to be loyal and en¬ thusiastic workers—efficient servants of Christ in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, other people who are accepting the leadership of the Wesleyan Metho¬ dist Church in the matter of Christian education, and with whom the Wesleyan Church is sharing the advantages of the Institutions, will some day rise up and call them Blessed,” because of the splendid service rendered to their young people, and through them, to their churches. While the School of Theology has sought to maintain standards which will appeal to vigorous young people and will be accepted by other standard institutions, something more than mere standards is kept before the students. Young people are being given a training for specific Christian work in such a way as to increase their passion for souls. This is done by making the program definitely Christ-centered, practical, and evangelistic. J. A. HUFFMAN c TfoaiiioHeUg OLIVE GOODYKUNTZ Her word was ever pleasant, Her manner ever sunny.

Because I pass on the living flame That ever brighter burns the ages through, I have done service that is worth the name Can I but say, “The flame of knowledge grew A little brighter in the hands I taught.’’ I teach. Because I know that when life ' s end I reach And thence pass through the gate so wide and deep To what I do not know, save that men TEACH, That the remembrance of me men will keep Is what I ' ve done; and what I have is naught, I teach.

The institution has been accredited by the State Board of Education for the following coursse: Primary license course, first and second grade; rural school license course, second grade, intermediate: grammer license course, first and second grade; regular high school license course, first and second grade. The regular high school license course, first grade, is a regular four-year course, and leads to the degree B.S. in Ed ucation. Students will be graduated from all these first grade license courses this year, and granted a state license to teach in the grades prescribed in the repre¬ sentative courses completed. Marion College is fortunate in the opportunities offered for observation and practice teaching- The greater part of the work in the primary and gram¬ mar grade course is done in the new McCulloch building, one of the finest school structures in the state. Those taking the regular high school license course, do their observation and practice teaching in the new senior high school building, complete in all its appointments. The profession of teaching is one of the most important offered young men and women. Terms of school are long, salaries high, and opportunity for advancement excellent. Young men and women of sterling character, strong initiative, love for humanity, and a desire to keep step with the progress of this, the greatest age of the world, can select no better calling. More than a score will graduate from the various accredited courses and receive first grade licenses this year, while more than fifty will be eligible to second grade licenses. Many who completed the second grade license course last year and have been teaching will return the Mid-Spring and Sum¬ mer Term to continue their work and move on toward the completion of the first grade license course. Whoever casts his lot with the splendid group of young people of the Normal Department will have chosen wisely. We invite you to become one of us. PROF. A.

HOWLETT Marengo, Iowa “ST ' 4 m juLjl Sfie c Tbationeilc The Academy Seniors must have an objective in order to succeed in any phase of life. He must set his hopes and expectations on a distant goal and strive with every possible effort to reach that mark Less than two hundred years ago a military genius was causing Europe to quake with fear as a result of his great military achievements. Province after province came under his control. Battles were waged. The great general was always victor. Treaty followed treaty until he was the master of almost an entire continent. It is said that Napoleon was a dreamer, but we declare that he had a vision—a goal toward which he was working during all of his career as a military leader. You have seen determination win an athletic event. Perhaps twenty two moleskin clad boys were straining every muscle to push the “Oval” over the goal line of the opponent. You have seen the game go to the last quarter with no apparent advantage gained by either team. Suddenly the crimson team crouched in a tense group, only to dash back to the line. The quarter back gave a sharp signal, the ball was snapped back, and the halfback followed through. The goal line was crossed with almost no opposition. Why? Be¬ cause of honest determination! After a great snow storm three boys were having a rollicking time. In the midst of their pleasure they decided to see who could make a straight path. When the contest had ended only one boy had accomplished the feat. When questioned of his ability he said, “I just picked out that old tree on the hill and walked toward it.” He had an objective in view and “followed through to success.” We have reached a goal. We must not permit that satisfied feeling to take possession of our future in such; a manner that we will permit ourselves to be satisfied with victories won. Excelsior, our motto, must be emblazoned on our banner in shining letters—and carried on to greater achievements. This first step in secondary education has given us a vision of life more broad than we could have imagined in existence formerly. It has told us that men can win if they will take time to learn the rules of this game of life. Page Seventy-four President Secretary Class Colors Motto .

In this age small emphasis is placed, by many, upon the value of a secondary ed¬ ucation in a school of this kind. It is much easier to make passing grades in a popular high school, but when a person has passed through such an institution the feeling of having gained something is lacking. Not so with Marion College Academy. Each Senior feels that he or she has, not only a stronger back¬ ground for a college course, but also a firmer foundation for the battle of life. Marion College without its Academy is unthinkable. While the Academy is the smallest of the departments in enrollment, this does not necessarily mean that it is least represented in the activities of the school. Its classes have had many good social times, the department has a fine basketball team, is ably represented in the Literary Societies, has capable re¬ porters to the Journal Staff, finished high in percentage in the annual sale of Marionettes, and has entered heartily into the religious, moral and high educa¬ tional standards of the institution. The Academy is blessed with extremely capable instructors. Professor Simmons is a principal that we like and Professors Boyce, Dodd, and Mitchell are ably re-enforced by Stoke, Goodlander, Miss Cox, and Miss Ritchie. Pro¬ fessor Stoke has been with us before and the students are glad to have him back. Professor Goodlander seems to be able to keep the Latin students busy. It means much to have such competent teachers to hold our department level. If the old saying that ‘‘a chain is as strong as its weakest link” should be applied to the Academy, the chain would be sufficiently strong to pull that department to a very high level. Each of the classes has its own separate organi¬ zation and has entered with a heartiness and readiness that well bespeaks itself. Owing to the small number in the incoming Lreshman class it and the Sophomores have united into one group and have elected Miss Helen Pitts as the President. The members of the Senior Class feel proud of their sister class and wish it the best of success. Juniors are supposed to be jolly and the class of ’27 does not disappoint in this respect. One of the new students. Miss Lucile Goodlander, is class president, and under her capable guidance the class is more than holding its own. The enrollment of the Academy is slightly less than that of the previous year, but this does not mean that the Academy is on the decline. We feel that the Academy will have a bright future. Let us work together to that end. Page Seventy-seven 1 $£ c)Xb awone.il The Constitution Lambert Huffman people of the United States,in order union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” This preamble to the Constitution is just a brief synopsis of the at¬ tainments sought for, or the composite ideals of Americanism as embodied in the Constitution. Every true American should consider the Constitution a practical instru¬ ment for the achievement of American ideals, for it is the basis of our Demo¬ cracy. It not only guarantees our personal freedom and political rights, but secures our property, guards our homes and protects our family life. In the formation of the Constitution, our fore-fathers dealt more leniently with us and delegated to us more power and liberty than has any other so called Democracy in the history of civilization. Those who thus formulated the policies of our government, could not for- see the extent of territorial expansion, the rapid growth of industry or the in¬ crease in population, beside various other changes and contingencies that should arise. And it was in their superior wisdom that t hey refrained from loading us down with statutory laws, for as conditions changed they would have be¬ come obsolete. One of the greatest defects in most Constitutional governments is the tendency to legislate, regardless of future needs. Our statesmen recognized this tendency and evaded the difficulty by providing for us, the principles only, of a democratic government; leaving the people in charge of the legislation. These principles, in the form of our present constitution, have proved to be a master¬ piece in governmental jurisprudence. With the Constitution as the foundation, the magnificant edific of Am¬ erican Democracy has been constructed through the efforts of the people. Brick upon brick has been placed into its walls, as the people have legislated for their needs. Every law of the land is an outgrowth of a basic principle stated in the Constitution and because there are no statutory laws contained in its provi¬ sions, it makes possible for us a free range of legislation. With all of this elas¬ ticity the framers of the Constitution gave us the power to dispose of, or in¬ sert whatever we should consider applicable to our future needs. This privi¬ lege of disposition or insertion comes to us in the power to make amendments. There have been over twenty-five hundred proposed amendments since the adoption of the Constitution, only nineteen of which have been accepted. Surely this is a testimony to the stability of the Constitution. Page Seventy-eight In appreciation of this far-visioned and benevolent service to the nation, every citizen of the United States should concur in the efforts of our benefac¬ tors, the founders of our government, by responding heartily to the ideals of Americanism as set forth in the Constitution. WHAT ARE THESE IDEALS YOU MAY ASK? When embodied in the form of personality, they prove to be the typical American, who believes: First, in the ideal of Religious Freedom. Separa¬ tion of Church and State makes it possible for each person to worship God in his own way. All sects are treated alike. Thus religion becomes a purifying factor in American life, rather than a bone of contention. Secondly, he believes in the “Square Deal.’’ The American policy throughout our diplomatic history has been and should be in accordanc e with the Golden Rule. In consequence of this policy, after the Boxer Rebellion in China (1901), America accepted only a portion of the indemnity alloted to her. The rest, was returned to the Chinese for the purpose of educating their young people. It is the square deal in our political, economic, and social life at home, that makes it possible to base our international relationships upon the Golden Rule. It is true enough that the existing conditions in our country are not up to our ideals. However, we have the power to alter the unsatisfac¬ tory conditions, if we will each do our part by supporting the Constitution. Thirdly, the typical American believes in the equality of opportunity. Fourthly, he believes that the people should rule. Self-government stim¬ ulates the interest of people in the affairs of their neighborhood, sustains local political life, educates the citizen in his daily round of civic duty and teaches him that perpetual vigilance and the sacrifice of his own time and labor are the price that must be paid for individual liberty and collective prosperity. Self-government secures the good administration of local affairs, by giv¬ ing the citizenship of each locality due means of overseeing the conduct of their business. Every American has a part in this self-government. Although the youth have no active part in the legislation of the country, until they become of age, it is their duty and should be their pleasure to support the ideals of American¬ ism by obeying the laws of the land. If this attitude is taken, they will be capable later, of shouldering the responsibilities of a patriotic citizen. Fifthly, above all, there should be justice and righteousness throughout the whole land. These are American ideals! And the true American should not only believe these things, but should be capable of supporting these ideals through self-reliance and cooperation. To be a citizen of the world’s greatest Republic is no small thing. One should know his rights and privileges as well as his obligations under the Con¬ stitution. Every American who has arrived at the age of intelligence should have a knowledge of the underlying principles of the Constitution. Each and every one of us should value the security which the Constitution guarantees, in guarding our lives, liberty, and property. Page Seventy-nine efXb axioncit Every American home should possess a copy of the Constitution of the United States, as the title deed to their rights as American citizens. Let us read, study, and prize the Constitution as the Magna Charta of our National life. In the words of the immortal Abraham Lincoln: “Let every American, every lover of liberty, support the Constitution and the laws of the land. Let reverence for the law ' s be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap, let it be taught in the schools, in the seminaries, and in colleges: let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpits, proclaimed in legislative halls, and be en¬ forced in the courts of justice. In short, let it become the political religion of the nation, and let the old and young, rich and poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.’’ Editor ' s Note—This oration was the winner in the local Academy Orate rical contest. Later it was given at the county contest. ADA B. CARROLL. Director of Music The Music Department HTHAT harmony of sound, that blending of tones, that coordination of rhythm, that expression of the beautiful which we call music is one of the most potent factors in the cultural and educational life of man. It is a force which sympathizes completely with the instinctive love of the beautiful which is in the heart of every person. Music causes the more common or cheapening experiences of life to fade from the immediate field of conscious¬ ness, leaving only those which are refined and beautiful. Marion College has recognized the place and importance of good music. It has incorporated vocal and piano training in its curriculum. Since its es¬ tablishment, there has been a decided growth in size in this department. The Orchestra, the Chorus and the Church Choir are definite outgrowths of this department. Under the direction of the dean, Miss Ada Carroll, the department has been maintained in a manner that reflects the true spirit of music—music which is inspired by a love of God. Considering this, let us neither forget to support the Music Department of Marion College nor fail to do our part in making it the best of its kind. Page Eighty-tiuo If Page Eighty-three The College Quartettes Theology and music move on. hand in hand, though time, and will continue eternally to illustrate, embellish, enforce, impress, and fix in the attentive mind the grand and important truths of Christianity! — ANDREW LAW. Music is not merely rhythmic sound; it is the expression of spiritual ex¬ perience. In the words of Beethoven, “Music is the manifestation of the inner essential nature of all that is! If there could be no other proof of the existence of a Creator, infinite in wisdom and power and goodness, we need be neither atheist nor agnostic. With its wonderful possibilities, music would suffice to show to all minds capable of responding to its appeals that there is a Supreme Power of harmony, happiness and spiritual perfection. The art of music by no means reveals all that God is; but the boundless realm of melodious sound does indicate a Creator whose nature is full to the overflow of ceaseless love and audible beauty. The Marion College Orchestra was organized for the purpose of presenting systematic work in musical expression and technique. Like literature, it brings pleasure to those who study by developing a sense of harmony within through the interpretation of good music and the appreciation of beauty. Page Eighty-four MAE BIDDINGER. Director In an institution such as Marion College where a general education is the aim, the ordinary formal education processes are not sufficient, because the fa¬ cilities for education are not complete without providing for the development of the aesthetic nature. Aestheticiasm, moreover, cannot be taught; it must be absorbed by coming in contact with refined and cultured art. To know art one must read classical literature which inspires the aesthetic nature. So it is with music. One must be conversant with musical literature in order to ap¬ preciate it to the extent that it becomes a refining agent in one’s character. This then, is one of the chief purposes of chorus work in Marion College which has just finished a most successful year under the leadership of Miss Mae Biddinger. The chorus of over fifty voices rendered for the fifth number of the Music-Lecture Course two splendid selections. The climactic event was on Commencement week when the chorus pre¬ sented “The Mesiah,’’ an oratorio by Handel, known as the most wonderful oratorio ever composed as well as the most difficult. No musical work has had such long and enduring popularity. Much of the veneration with which it is regarded is doubtless due to the subject, but much also must be attributed to the splendid music, some of which—the stirring “Glory to God,” the stu¬ pendous “Hallelujah and the magnificent “Amen , is not for an age, but for all time. Page Eighty-five November 6th Mildred Dilling came to the college to favor us with an¬ other of her splendid concerts. The program was well adapted to the audience, and was a demonstration of her playing skill. The personal charm of the ar¬ tist added greatly to the success of the program. The program as rendered was varied in nature. Several rather heavy numbers were given to introduce the program. The subsequent selections were perhaps less heavy, but skillful playing marked the music as beautiful. The last group was composed almost entirely of sacred music. The audience was completely captivated by the rendering of the “Music Box’’ as a concluding number. “MY UNASSESSED REAL ESTATE’’ Dr. Frederick F. Shannon, one of Chicago’s greatest pastors, featured the second number of the Music-Lecture course for this year. Lecturing on the subject: “My Unassessed R.eal Estate’’ he held the large audience to the point of silence as he proceeded to show some of the inestimable values of life which cannot be touched by the tax-collecter. “Things natural such as the sky, the lake, the park, cheery Indian summer, and even somber November, seemed to compell more admiration as Dr. Shannon spoke. Fathers and Mothers, young romancers, and real boys and girls were among the things spoken of as “things human. Faith in God and its accompanying happiness and hope in the life beyond were emphasized as “things divine,” which are given freely for all to enjoy. The unavoidable conclusion was that our unassessed real estate far excells in value that which is assessed. WESTMINSTER TRIO January 8th the third number of the Music-Lecture Course was given by a trio from the famous Westminster Choir. This number was one of the most striking programs given at the college this year. The representatives of the choir were: Earl Evans, baritone; Martha Schlatter, soprano: Carlton McHenry. The Dayton choir is one of the most famous of its kind. Each year it makes tours throughout the world to spread the love of good music. We must acclaim them none short of wonderful in the production of tones and in enunciation. Furthermore, the spirit of the songs which the trio rendered were entirely in harmony with the spirit of the school. Page Eighty-six £E6c cfXfa iVtloHcii Music Lecture Course NATURE AND NATURES Professor August Ebel from Hillsboro, Kansas, gave the fourth number of the Music-Lecture Course on March 5th. His lecture and sketches were very interesting and inspiring. Professor Ebel is not only successful with his crayons, but also in the use of wit and humor, with which he won his audience. He confessed that the first thing he ever drew was his breath, and that it would likely be the last thing he would ever draw. —Marion College Journal MUSIC DEPARTMENT NUMBER Orchestra Grand Military Fantasia Rollinson Sweet Evening Star .

CARROLL, Instructor EXPRESSION E XPRESSION is one of the most universal and fundamental characteristics of man. It belongs directly or indirectly to every act. The most essential element of expression is the revelation of human character. It is the manifes¬ tation of the soul through the body. The study of expression is the develop¬ ment of this power which lies dormant within each personality. There seems to be a common idea that the study of expression is merely for the training of a few specialists; that it is only an ornamental accomplish¬ ment for those who wish to make an exhibition of themselves. This is a false impression. Expression has an application to all life and to universal education. Education has two sides: the reception of truth and the manifestation of truth. These two processes are equally essential for the development of character. Given facts, we become efficient only when we are able to man¬ ifest that knowledge to others. P. R.- ’27. Page Eighty-eight A. W. CROSSMAN, Art Instructor a A 1 i RT IS in its proper character the solidest and sincerest expression of .human thought and feeling. To be much within and little without, to do all for truth, nothing for show—this is its first law.” Has there been a lack of appreciation of great art common in America because of our practical ideas and love of efficiency? It may have been true Today our ideas of art are changing. Art is rapidly assuming its normal place in the curriculum of Marion College. It has become a practical and essential course for the students of any department. The four-year course is an extensive one which leads to professional car¬ tooning, illustrating and cover designing. The course in landscape painting begins with sketching from copy and from nature. Later in the course water coloring and oil painting is introduced. Another course offered is of life draw¬ ing and modeling. Persons learning to appreciate art discover faculties for appreciating beauty that were before unused and unknown. It is by art that a life of science is made beautiful. rs Page Eighty-nine Life would be much less worth living if we could not look about us and enjoy the beauties of nature. The study of art gives one a working basis for a real enjoyment of the beauties of life. People who see beauty are help¬ ful and extremely interesting to their associates. Opposed to this class may be found those who see life as one darb day following another. Few people care to encounter such personalities. Every person should be well enough versed in art to have a speaking vocabulary to describe the daily happenings of life in the glowing terms that each incident deserves. Thus art is valuable. Have you seen the large posters telling of debates? The art department produced them. Pictures form the universal language. If you have ability in this line speak it to the world. The standard of art must be kept high. If the public sees and appre¬ ciates art today it is because some person has seen the beauty of a common scene. Learn to see such scenes with us. T. M. A., ’27.

Marion College has a number of young men and women who are thus yielding themselves to the inner urge mission-ward. Missionary information, missionary in¬ spiration, missionary praying, missionary paying— each has its part in the missionary activities at Marion College. The leading extra curricular missionary organ¬ ization of the school is the Senior Y. M. W. B. The financial responsibility assumed is the support of Mary Green in the India field. These missionary dollars do not go to the field alone, but are accompanied with prayer. In addi¬ tion to seasons of prayer, both public and private, a weekly hour is set apart for students to meet and pray for our missionaries, and to hear their needs presented so that secret prayers may be more efficient. CHARLES DeVOL President At the first public program of the year, Mr. Decker was the principle speaker. He gave. wTh no uncertain sound, the missionary challenge to the young people. On Sunday, March 28th, the evening was devoted to a demonstration of Indian life, conducted by Flora Pitts. Students were arrayed in Indian costumes. A touch of dramatization made the portrayal very vivid. Other programs were given to a discussion of missions in South America. It was our privilege on November 23rd to hear an illustrated lecture on Japan by Rev. A. Paget Wilkes. Three distinct classes of pictures were shown: The beauty of God’s handiwork in nature; the degredation of sinful humanity; and the beauty of God’s handiwork in redeeming human nature. Mr. Wilkes is an Episcopalian. Associated with him are people from many lands. By no means least among the benefits derived is the fact that it re¬ minded us that we are not working alone, but God has a great army engaged in “spreading Spiritual holiness over these lands.’’ T. T. S. Page Ninety-two Greetings to you from India’s Shores: Months have come and gone, weeks have passed by, and days have been numb¬ ered since I left you last March, and yet my promised letter has not been written. I am ashamed to think of it. I do not feel like I want to apologize by saying that I have not had time to write, neither do I want to confess that I have been neglect¬ ful. Did you ever get into a place where you did not know how to get out? Well, that’s me. If you want to heap coals of fire on my head, just write me a long let¬ ter, and I think I would be more ashamed than I am. While I have not written I assure you that you have not been forgotten, and I am ever mindful that it is your concen¬ trated effort that makes is possible for me to be here. If some one did not stand by us, we, indeed would be helpless. I am unworthy of your love and in¬ terest, but by His grace and His help I mean to do all I can for Jesus in this dark land, and your efforts will be properly rewarded in THAT GREAT DAY. I have been alone ever since I returned, but have been so busy that I did not feel the need of company. The work in the Bible school kept me well employed. I found it rather difficult to take up the language immediately after two years of absence, but the Lord proved to be a help in that need. This is the cool season of the year, and we improve the time by going from house to house and village to village telling of Jesus and His Love. We take our lantern at night. The people can understand the pictures, and will buy the book containing the story. We have been made welcome in every village except one, and they were afraid of us, and would not come out to hear our message. The rich people are the bosses, and they tell the poor people that if they hear us they will not let them farm their land, so you see, it is a case of bread and butter, the same as you have in America many times. Please remember me at the throne. I need Lather ' s help. Page Ninety-three CONFERENCE OFFICERS Virgil Hammer . Esther Pitts Rufus Reisdorph .. Helen Jackson Vice-President Secretary . First Evangelist Second Evangelist The Student Conference ' jpHE entire student body of Marion College is organized to form the Stu¬ dent Conference. The purposes of the organization are to provide practical training in Christian work and to promote the spiritual life of the students. At the suggestion of President Leedy a new plan was put into operation this year. Every other Friday afternoon a meeting was held in the college building. The first half hour of each meet¬ ing was occupied by President Leedy. He con¬ ducted a series of practical talks on the conduct of Christian workers, emotion in religion, personal work and other topics of general interest to the young church worker. During the last half hour a sermon was given by some student preparing for definite Christian service. Such meetings provide training for the speakers and have been times of great blessings for those students who attended. President Leedy’s talks were of great value in preparing for the future and in developing the spirit which resulted in the great revival under the preach¬ ing of Rev. John Clement. The very unusual January revival, under the direction of Mr. Clement, was followed by a series of instructive sermons by Rev. Joseph H. Smith. This week of meetings took the trend of a series of lectures about “The Way of Holiness.” The activities of the Student Conference are not confined to ministering to the needs of the student body of the school. Meetings were held each Sunday at the County Jail by the conference evangelist, Mr. Reisdorph. Miss Jackson was in charge of meetings held at the County Poor Farm. A large number of definite conversions have been reported from each place. EVERETT L. CATTELL President Page Ninety-four Page Ninety-five vC ' a c)l6 aitoncU 1926 Marionette Staff Willis C. Smith .

Page Ninety-six e cJTbaxioHeile Our Community ' T HE students of Marion College are scarcely able to imagine a place more ideally located for a college community than that of our Alma Mater. Greatest of all the benefits is the fine Christian spirit which prevails in South Marion. Churches of various denominations are active in spreading the facts concerning the Christian faith. I ruly this is a community of churches. It is a community of brotherly love. It is a community of applied church prin¬ ciples. The desirable atmosphere of busy students prevails at the college. Higher learning comes to those who seek it. The city has provided splendid schools to care for public training for twelve grades. Such an educational sys¬ tem is self-sufficient from the standpoint of the student. As college students, we came to this new community wondering what the attitude of the townspeople would be when we came in contact with them in our social life. We did not have to seek in obscure corners for friends. We were welcomed into an ever increasing circle of friends. The primary motive causing such an attitude is most certainly a desire to make a community of good citizens where people may live together happily. If we go in pursuit of pleasure we find it not far from our campus. Nature and the skill of man have combined to favor South Marion. Bell Park and new McCulloch school building are typical of the progressive spirit of South Marion. What can be said of the economic condition of the community? Is it prosperous? Economists say that a community is prosperous when it is able to cooperate to produce public good. The operation of this old axiom has been responsible for the complexity of our social order. The degree of com¬ plexity is constantly increasing. To increase the complexity and success of the community increased cooperation is necessary. The students of the college are dependent upon the merchants of South Marion. Partially the success of this book is due to their aid. Conversely it may be said that the presence of a large number of students added to the community is a real asset. Thus far there has been cooperation. In the future this spirit must continue and improve. Page Ninety-seven BEL1 : GEO. A.

Life ains are cast aside for the time being. The principles which form the fundamental founda¬ tion for the school which is attended are accepted as commonplace facts. Our causes for being in school are scarcely remembered from one year to the next. We begin to wonder why it is that graduates talk of an Alma Mater or of The Old School. Why do they talk of old school friends as though they existed in the form of a special type of relatives? Is not all of this display of sentiment rather extreme when compared with the real amount of feeling involved? How do such things originate? It is impossible that we who are students now should ever be the individuals to display such emotional outbursts when the name of the institution from which we obtained our college training is men¬ tioned! Such are the thoughts which flit through the brain of the one who comes back for that other vear. But the day of reckoning comes. Speculations become grim realities when we recognize the fact that the happy state of student life cannot go on forever. We find that the weeks have become years so rapidly and so smooth¬ ly that the movement has been imperceptible. Now it is easy to recall scenes and incidents that will never be reenacted except in student life. Friends will go, and we will never be closely associated again. The point of view has changed. The discomfort of such a situation can only be realized by those who know the full meaning of school spirit. Now that it is late, what can be accomplished to repay our school, and to justify ourselves in spending years in training? Only this: let that training count for useful progress. The feel¬ ing that we know as school spirit will grow as the years go by. The senti¬ ments of school days will continue to bind us closer to the school that will always be “Ours.

The question for debate was: “ Resolved: that the Child labor am¬ endment to the Federal Constitution should be ratified. The Marion team outwitted the Taylor affirma¬ tive trio in both constructive argu¬ ments and the rebuttals. Then again on Wednesday evening a young crusade of Marionites fol¬ lowed the Marion affirmative team to Upland where they besieged Taylor University and gave them an offen¬ sive forensic battle in their home au¬ ditorium. Notwithstanding Taylor lor’s admirable battering against the thorough logic of the Marion team, the Marion men entirely eclipsed the opposition and verified Coach Stoke’s “womanly intuition that Marion was far superior to any argument Taylor might present.

Without the able coaching of such a master in the art of skilful debating, we know that the victories Marion has enjoyed and will con¬ tinue to enjoy would be little more than a probability. The loyalty shown toward the de¬ bating teams exceeds that of most (Continued on Page Fourteen) Whenever a need appears at Mar¬ ion College there is usually someone who rises to meet the occasion. Such was the case in regard to the writing of a much needed “pep song. The need was expressed by some sugges¬ tive student and a new song, full of pep, school spirit, and enthusiasm, is before the students for acceptance. Miss Gladys Hall, a Junior of Marion College, is the author of this production and John Leedy, Jr., has composed suitable music. Learn the words and you will soon have an op¬ portunity to learn the music. In the heart of Hoosierland, There’s a place we think that’s grand, There’s a spot which we are proud to call our own: There a Triangle is found, Where our hearts are firmly bound; And a loyal band of students tried and true. Chorus Down on the Old Triangle, Oh, Pals! The times we’ve had; Down on the Old Triangle, School never seemed so bad; And when out in life With its toil and strife, We ll remember our dear Old Trian¬ gle. Oh the games we like to play. At the closing of the day, In the parlor of our dear old Teter Hall; Oh, the songs we like to sing, Till we make the Chapel ring, And the fellowship of friends the best of all.

P RECEDING every great invention, every important discovery, every worth¬ while organization, there must be some person or group of people work¬ ing for the general good of humanity. To Professors Bush, Mitchell and Ritchie we attribute the credit for the dream which shall, by constant effort and untiring spirit, make the chemistry department of Marion College inter¬ nationally recognized for its efficient laboratories and its discoveries in the field of Chemistry. Inspired by their dreams and eager to get the department on a solid foundation, where future progress would be possible, the professors met on October 20, 1924, with a number of students interested in chemical research. Only students who had taken a year of chemistry were to become members. The constitution was written by a committee appointed at the first meeting. On October 27th the constitution was accepted. Professor Ritchie was elected president. On October 29th the first program was held. The opening address was given by the president. Miss Litzenburg gave an interesting sketch of the life of Sir Wm. Ramsey. Professor Bush told of the spirit and service ren¬ dered by a chemist. The concluding speech was given by C. Moore, in which he brought out the need for a deeper and broader interest in the science which is so vitally important to the needs of mankind. General subjects were taken up the second year of the club. The first general discussion was of iron and steel. The geologic formation, deposit and distribution of iron mines formed an interesting general discussion. The alloys of various metals and the methods of smelting formed lectures of a practical nature. The following general topics formed interesting subjects for instruction: synthetic rubber, toilet soaps, face powder, hair dressing, perfumes, plate glass, optical glass, glass in the kitchen, anesthetics, cellulose, explosives, the making of paper, and mining in the west. May 26th the chemistry students of Taylor University were invited to Marion as guests of the club. Professor Mitchell gave an illustrated lecture on the making of glass and paper. The lectures of the club have been interesting and inspiring. Intensive interest has resulted in careful and extensive research work by those participa¬ ting in the programs. The work of the club has not ended with a little interest and mere lec¬ tures. The membership has proposed the purchased of a motion picture machine. This would indeed be a step toward making our dream real. S. H. K. 27.

Page One Hundred eight Se eJTfcaxtorteii The Marathenian Club WITHOUT a vision the people perish.” It was with this in mind that the Marathenian Literary Club was formed in the spring of 1925, by a group of Marion College enthusiasts. This club was organized with a pro¬ found purpose in view. Knowing that the best and most efficient work may be accomplished in a small group and that a third society would create a more agreeable spirit between the societies, it was believed that this group could hitch ' their wagon to a star” and form the necessary third society. It was but a vision. With wills to do and souls to dare, the society was formed. It is the purpose of this club to strive for the strongest and highest literary attainments. We do not desire to consider anything of a literary nature which would not be of benefit to the club. The word “Marathenian” means ‘‘strive to learn.” We agree with Pope, “ a little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deep or taste not of the Pierian spring.” This society desires that each member should have a chance for literary training. Each individual member must have an opportunity to exercise his or her talents at various times during the year. The backward, more inexperienced member is afforded closed programs to develop ease in speaking. The humilia¬ ting experience of a first time public apperance is avoided. The entire member¬ ship gains perceptably from this type of programs. Parliamentary drills and extempory speeches make interesting programs. Closed programs form an en¬ tirely new feature for the club. They have become worthy of the efforts of each member. The motive has been partly experimental, for many of the better numbers are used in public programs. The public programs have taken a series form. The Good Citizenship series was one of the best that the club has produced. The following themes were used: Know Your City, Know Your State, National Night, and Roll Call of the Nations. With the success of the past year to encourage us, we can cooperate to establish the highest possible literary standard in the future. R. K., ’27.

Frances Webster Letha Whitehead Critic Grace Leal Crozier ' TT ' HE Eureka Literary Club was the first organization of its kind in Marion College. During the first year of the college it grew with marked rapidity. Since that time it has gained in membership continually. Natur¬ ally enough it has become the largest club of the school, organized with the definite aim of preparing people to meet the world from the lecture platform. Great numbers have not prevented the club from operating efficiently. A Eurakan has assumed the responsibility of almost every position that a student of the school may attain to. Page One Hundred ten Eureka THE close of this college year that has been crowded full with hard work every person claiming membership in the Eureka Literary Club appreciates having belonged to such an organization. The real joy derived from literary work makes a literary society an indispensable part of student life. What a wonderful privilege it is for each person to find in that daily rou¬ tine of college life a phase of the world of entertainment and a means of de¬ velopment that will bring forth those latent qualities which have never been given an opportunity for expression. One of the beautiful sides of life is wit¬ nessed wherein we see the acts and activities of life developed which bring us more nearly to the supernal. This feeling comes only through the develop¬ ment of the best that one is made of or of a developed appreciation of the best which one’s fellow-students may give. College life gives us a foundation for the building of a career. We struggle with the facts on which we build, but there are phases of our construc¬ tion program that must be spent in enhancing the beauty of the structure. At times we must almost forget this task of learning to finish the structure thus far completed. In a literary club we develop our abilities; we polish our struc¬ ture of learning. Entertainment is a secondary matter. Occasionally an enter¬ taining program may produce in some one an inspiration to go higher. Literary clubs help one to appreciate the beautiful in literature and to develop the power of pleasing, artful presentation of one’s ideas to the public. These purposes of the club are obtained by interesting programs given by the membership. Subjects of an interesting and instructive nature are secured. During the past year the Eureka Literary Club has been very successful in its fields of research. However there is much talent in our club remaining to be developed. We insist that much honor is due to our club, but we are not sat¬ isfied to stop now. We will go on! L. B. C., ’27. Page One Hundred eleven First Term Second Term Third Term President Virgil Hammer Everett Ritchie. H. L. Lanahar Secretary Catherine DeVol Laura Emerson Lucile Jones Amphictyons are assuming the positions which the world has to offer. In this age of materialism such a test would be sufficient to determine the efficiency of the society which we have formed. However, every Amphictyon has a more complex aim; to become cultured. Should we fail in this respect, we have lost that vital grip on the main issues for which the society was formed. And in this respect we have not failed. Therefore we claim equal honors with the other literary clubs as builders of human character. Page One Hundred twelve 2E6 e efXfa tv tiott ii The Amphictyon Literary Society ' HERE IS no part of college work which has a wider range of usefulness than work of a literary type. The ability of self expression is one which can only be attained by constant effort. Once attained, it is invaluable in any chan¬ nel into which it may be directed. Many of the text books which we must study are written by profound thinkers. They have a knowledge of a subject which makes them an authority in some field of learning. In spite of their ability, sentences are frequently found-to express some thought inaccurately or they are of faulty structure. This often makes it very difficult to understand the shade of meaning which an author wishes to convey. But many of us will never write text books. We may, however, have received training which will assist us in the interpretation of writings and utterances of others. Literary work is a part of our everyday life. It may take the form of writing a letter, reading a magazine or the formulation of a theory of relativity. The college graduate is expected to take an active part in things of interest to his home community. Lack of training has made many otherwise well train¬ ed individuals of no more use to his people than the person of little experience. He is expected to take his stand in times of political stress. Also, the Church makes its demand in no uncertain voice to those who are trained to think and express thoughts. Without training, one finds those of less natural ability superceding him in business, politics and society. The power or ability to hold a pleasing conversation is very important so¬ cially. The person who is able to talk without becoming tiresome is never without friends. Many everyday incidents blossom into interesting thoughts and sparkle with humor in the mind of a keen thinker. The aim of college life is to prepare one to solve the problems of life— problems that must be solved when encountered. A literary society gives its members an opportunity to obain experience in meeting real problems. Train¬ ing received in college days to cope with situations as they arise will have its ef¬ fect on the solution of every problem. Literary work is provided by the debate club and literary organizations. The Amphictyon Society is one of the older organizations of the institution. We are endeavoring to uphold the literary traditions of our Alma Mater. As a society, we have always held “excellency in literary pursuits’’ as our goal. E. J.

At rthe beginning of the season Coach Stoke outlined three aims for Intercollegiate Debating in Marion College, namely, to give practical development to the individual participants, to create an enthuisasm for cultural attainment within our school, and to secure our recognition among other colleges and universities. A retrospect of the season assures us that these aims have been satisfactorily realized.

Just the two words “War Declared!” What a variety of emotions these words engender. While the coward quakes with fear, the stout heart beats with courage and red-blooded patriotism. The mother humbly bows her grey head and offers her boy, yes! and her husband too, a sacrifice to the cause. The maiden bids her lover a long farewell. How beautiful! How beautiful? We are controlled by a fearful tyrant. Under his sway the noble emotions of loyality and patriotism work for national suicide. A tyrant deserves condemnation. It is recog¬ nized that war is a lawless despot, he gives no quarter, therefore we must give him no quarter. War must be banished, but before we can depose him we must know how strong he is. Does he impose on certain communities, certain nations, or the entire world? The immediate answer is, “War is universal.” Therefore the war-problem is a world-problem because of its scope, because of the attitude of the nations to it, and because its abolition demands coopera tion among the nations. War affects the world as a whole. Not a nation, or city, or hamlet but has felt the blight of its touch. It reduces fertile farms to shell-torn wastes, peaceful cities to heaps of debris, and lofty cathedrals, the costly relics of the past, to smoking ruins. Walls of dead soldier-boys, the flower of youth, lie piled in nameless graves. Thousands of wrecks, the burial vaults of thousands of gallant sailors, strew the dark depths of the ocean. The dying cries of mil¬ lions of starving children vibrate eternally through unbounded ether. Deaf ears, blind eyes, gassed lungs, crazed brains, and limbless bodies, point an ac¬ cusing finger at the curse, war. Nations stagger helplessly for generations under vast war debts. Another scientific war promises the total annihilation of man. Moreover, in the past, the nations have taken a passive attitude toward war. There have been a few successful attempts at abolition, but these have been very few because the whole world has not yet awakened to the possibility of universal peace. Before the great war there was loud talk of disarmament. The dove of peace went forth over the troubled waters of humanity but re¬ turned to its ark finding no rest. No wide-awake nation would listen to a dis- amament program while Prussian militarism menaced civilization. Yet Ger¬ many is not the only nation that can be accused of cooly preparing for war. All nations are heavily armed. All over the world the children are trained not only to expect war but to desire it. Even though the experienced cry for peace, they allow the fal se picture of the glamor of war to fire the soul of the younger generation with fighting spirit. What a farce! No man ever succeed¬ ed in life by passively swallowing the bitter pills of evil fortune. No nation will ever banish war by a passive attitude. We must arrive at some definite conclusion, for so long as the tyrant ' s sway is undisputed we can expect war. The memories of the past war still bring horror to our hearts. It is a ter¬ rible night-mare. We see visions of men struggling in deadly combat, wrest¬ ling, stabbing, clubbing, cursing, and falling to the ground dead, dying, or hor- Page One Hundred twenty gytAoneit e ribly wounded. Around us is a confusing hell. The crack of rifles the staccato- bark of machine guns, the thunder of artillery, the shriek and explosion of projectiles ring in our ears. We revolt at the smell of the fresh, warm blood as it is splashed up into our faces. The pungent odor of burnt powder assails our nostrils. Oh God! defend us from a repetition of these horrors. Lead us to a solution of our problem. To reach a solution of this problem we must know why nations fight. Seeking therefore the cause of war let us consider some current opinions. Is it because of emotions of hatred, envy, or jealousy? Is it true that these emotions attend and are indispensable to the promotion of war? Each nation represents the barbarities of her opponents in glowing colors to gain the support of her inhabitants. But these feelings are incited, and are only transient. 7 hey do not cause war. The cause of war lies deeper. Can it be then that the subtle war-profiteers are responsible? The ambi¬ tious militarists, greedy financiers, selfish capitalists, heartless war-lords or un¬ scrupulous national leaders? To promote a war this ghostly circle of skulls— surrounded vultures must use arguments in their propoganda to arouse public indignation. They do this by encouraging the people to believe that their rights have been violated. Yet they are powerless to work without a national spirit or national pride. A nation is like the human organism. As it grows it develops and claims certain rights. But in expansion its rights conflict with the rights of an alien race. Public indignation is aroused and war with all its horror results. War is not caused, then, by transient human emotions nor by human individuals, but by the political, industrial, or territorial growth of the nation or its desire for supremacy. Witness the wars of history, the wars of the children of Israel, of Persia, of Egypt, of Assyria, of Greece, of Rome, and the more recent wars of Europe. In all these wars the agressor was impelled by one or the other or a combination of these desires. This problem therefore is a world problem and the only solution is world action. To solve this problem there has ben organized since the war a League of Nations and a World Court. But these institutions are a mere mockery unless they have the support of every nation backed by the majority of its people. In the past certain nations have rejected or even totally ignored the decisions of these bodies. To allow such im¬ positions to continue means war. To compell these nations to comply means war. Force is incompatible with peaceful adjustment. Our policy must be a peaceful policy. The only peaceful mode of proceedure is to unite effort by or¬ ganization. True, we will meet with difficulties, but nothing is too hard for the determined. Never before have there been such wide-spread movements for union and organization. Labor unions solve problems between the laborer and his em¬ ployer. Business corporations protect the business man. Lodges and organiza¬ tions innumerable protect the individual. Organizations have solved economic problems in many countries. Therefore we must establish a democratic, in¬ ternational institution. Our goal will be a Grand Peace Federation which will step into the lime-light of world action and abolish war. To make the Federa¬ tion possible we will build a national organization in every country, sub-organ¬ ization in every state, and local organizations within the state. The local or¬ ganizations will agitate until the people pass laws which will provide for in- Page One Hundred twenty- struction of all school children against war. Thus will we raise up a new gen¬ eration of peace-loving men and women. To launch this great undertaking we will call a world convention to which representatives of every nation will be invited. In this convention a cosmopolitan committee will be appointed. Each member of the committee will then gather about him in his own country those who are determined on the abolition of war. These peace-makers will then establish the foundations of the national peace structure, founding local organizations wherever there is a nucleus. These local bodies will then agitate the cause, break down opposi¬ tion, and awake the entire nation. Our auspicious star is at its zenith. The world is no longer a mysterious question-mark. Civilization is almost universal. Ties of commerce, of mod¬ ern inventions, and of modern equipment tend to bind the world together. Men everywhere see the error of war. The pinched, half-starved, de’bt-ridden war sufferers are now taking their places among the men and women of the world. At present we are in a period of reconstruction. Now is the time to lay the foundations for peace. To-day is the day to gird on our white robes and plant the banner of the dove and the olive branch in every country of the earth, now while the memories of that awful struggle linger, now before the Syren ' s song has enticed men to slumber, soothing them with the magic false¬ hood—the delusion that peace has come. This is no millenium. Let us awake and shake off the yoke of bondage, lest we awake too late. Methinks I hear the young and old of many climes uniting in the agonizing cry, “Give us peace or give us death.’ Shall we join them in their cry? All we need is leadership. It is altogether fitting that this undertaking originate in the United States. Not only is she the richest and most influential nation, but she is a born leader. God has raised her to this exalted position for this very purpose. Countrymen! We must realize that we are citizens not only of America but of the World. As citizens of the World let us seize this opportunity and banish war forever. Let us solve this world-problem now. Let us stir up the sentiments of the whole nation. Above all, let us support this worthy cause ourselves. Ladies and Gentlemen, which do your prefer ? Shall there be war or peace? ERNEST LEHMAN, ’26.

Page One Hundred twenty-two cflb (wtomlt The Marionette Auto Race T HE Marionette auto race started off with plenty of “gas” to make the trans¬ continental trip from New York to San Franscisco. The “gas” was furnished by the race drivers of the departments, in the form of plenty of “pep”. At the start the race was not intended to be a handicap affair. But un¬ avoidable accidents occured to delay several of the cars. At least we must infer that such was the case, for several of the cars that had been favorites early in the race were unable to show the required amount of speed. We, the Staff, are firm believers in fair play. When it was determined that all except the School of Theology had met with misfortune before reach¬ ing Kansas City the race was called off. So great was the tide of enthusiasm that the Staff was obliged to guarantee freight charges for the return of the contending cars. Things have quieted down now. We scarcely remember the auto race without a winner. Yet the enthusiasm of that race won a sufficient number of subscriptions to guarantee an annual to Marion College. The race drives whose “pep” won in the race for an Annual are: Nellie Shugart Marcus Roberts Virgil Hammer Lambert Huffman Myrtle Standiford Last Minute Announcements Vote for Kinsey for SHERIFF! There has been some agitation for a new motto for coins. We offer one that suits college students: “Abide with me.” Prof. Mitchell—“Why, there are some Freshmen in this class who are as dumb as you are.” M. Roberts—-“I know, sir, but they haven ' t been here as long as I have. Glover—“I’m a little stiff from basketball’ Margaret S.—“Where did you say you were from?” H.

DEGRAW CARROLL President LAWRENCE WILLIAMS Tennis Champion I. W. KINSEY Champion Contender ATHLETICS AT MARION BE what we are and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end of life!” One may scarcely hope for success without a strong body. Happiness without health is almost an unheard of thing. In fact a well developed body is a very essential part of the equipment of any person. For the student, physical well-being permits intensive mental culture which may not be obtained under less splendid circumstances. The Athletic Association is founded upon principles which permit the average student to obtain a maximum amount of real benefit from physical ex¬ ercises. Such games as tennis and basketball are real body builders for men and women of the college. True, we have our champion class, teams and a tennis champion, but they are in these honored positions because of their par¬ ticipation in sports for the amount of recreation to be derived. The long drill season and the terrific pace of the matched game are largely eliminated. The enormous drain of physical force is thus reduced until the result is PHYSICAL FITNESS. Page One Hundred twenty-six THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES I T IS quite natural for youth to desire to participate in athletic events. The very presence of dozens of players on the tennis courts aroused a spirit which demanded a test of strength for each person. The Athletic Association recognized the need for organized games. Accordingly the scheme was envolved which gave us a champion of the school. Fifteen or twenty persons participated in the contests. A splendid type of sportsmanship marked the playing of every game. Play the game for the joy of action appeared to be the spirit of the tourney. The events were admirably arranged. Drawing of names resulted in an even distribution of playing skill. The playing of the games was equally well balanced. Seldom was a set marked up with a high score for the winning play¬ er. “Dope refused to run true to form.’’ Even during the final games it was not safe to predict who was to become the victor. I. Kinsey and L. Williams were obviously well matched in playing ability. Governed by the rules of the association, the games piled up to seven sets before the elusive title came to Mr. Williams. The games won by Williams and Kinsey are as follows: 9-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-8, 6-4, 10-8. Page One Hundred twenty-seven The Popular Game of 1925-26 T HE basketball season of 1925-26 in Marion College was ushered in with much spirit and enthusiasm on the part of both fans and players. Un- precendented skill was displayed by the classes in choosing their teams. In a few short weeks the untiring efforts of captains and players produced the teams in perfect condition to enter a contest destined to be the best in the history of Marion College athletics. On the evening of October I 6th scores of enthusiastic fans packed into the gymnasium to witness the first game of the season between the Veterans and the Little Giants. (Kindly turn to page 132 for the key of names). The first half ended close, with the Little Giants leading 6-9. In the second half the efforts of the Veterans weakened perceptably. The final score was 31-9. The same evening the Whirlwinds met the Wildcats. The opposition from the Whirlwinds was so strong in the first half that the score stood at 8-4. This aroused the spirit of the Wildcats until nothing short of an accident could could have prevented them from the winning score of 27-17. One week later the Little Giants met the Tigers in a hard fought battle. Both teams showed excellent passing ability. Neither side gained an advantage until Elmer Stewart broke cover for a series of baskets which won the 33-22 victory for the Tigers. The Champions met the Wildcats in the second game of the evening. The latter team was outclassed in goal shooting. The 63-28 defeat only demonstrated the sportsman spirit of the defeated team. November 20th the Whirlwinds met the Little Giants. The Giants were off color, leaving the lead to their opponents for the entire game. Final score: 32-21. The Tigers met the Bearcats in the second battle of the evening. It was a battle royal. The speed and interest of the game brought the fans to their feet repeatedly. In the last quarter the Bearcat defense weakened and the Tigers shot their way to a 28-18 victory. The Champions and Tigers met for the next game of the series. Until the last quarter the Champions were unable to work past the Tiger defense. When the break came, however, their defeat of the Tigers was decisive, as the score 27-18 indicates. The final game of the percentage series was between the Champions and the Whirlwinds. During the first half the lead swiched half a dozen times. The half ended with the Whilrwinds in the lead. In the last half the Champions came up in perfect style for a victory of 47-38. H. K. Page One Hundred twenty- £F£g cHb o ionett 4 The Elimination Tournament T HE first game of the elimination tournament was played March 26th, be- A tween the Sophomores and the Academy. The gymnasium was packed with interested spectators. The walls resounded with the hearty cheers of the classes as they cheered their champions on to victory. There were no specta¬ cular points of the game. A fast offense was carried on by the Sophomores and a tight defense was maintained by the Academy. 4 he first half ended with the Sophomores leading 22-1 1. The spirit of the Academy players nev¬ er changed. Both teams raised their former scores. However, the early lead piled up by the Sophs was an insurmountable barrier. The final score gave the game to the Sophomores by a 38-23 margin. The Normal team next let the “Frosh” down on the little end of a 34- 26 score. This was a very hard fought game. It was even closer than the score indicates. The freshmen were able to hold the score to 19-13 during the first half of the game. With the beginning of the next half the Normals began the famous climb which apparently could not be interrupted. Murray Thompson came near to saving the day for his team by sinking several long shots from center. Hyman was high point man for his team, with thirteen points. The Juniors, having reached the semi-finals through their luck in draw¬ ing a bye, were prepared to meet the former champions. The Normals took the Juniors off guard and piled up a healthy score early in the game. The ' guarding of the Juniors was weak, a fact which spelled their ruin. At the close of the second half the score stood 24-9. The Juniors started a snappy counter attack which brought the score to 25-45 in the third quarter. The rally came rather late and the Normals were again victorious. The final score—56-30. The climax of the basketball season came when the Sophomores met the Normals in the final game of the tournament. A great crowd of fans turned out to witness the game between the champions and their former contenders. The Sophomores started off with a speedy offensive resulting from a de¬ termination to win this time. Gaining a good lead of 23-12 in the first half, the outcome was still doubtful, for the Normals staged a strong come-back which brought the score to 21-24.
