CARL VICTOR BURGER, (12) REV. ISAAC ANDERSON, D.D. (From sketch by Prof. T. J. Lamar, i88f,.) ,11,.W HE founder of Maryville College was born March 26, 1780, in Rockbridge fiuM- County, ' irginia. He was of Scotch-Irish descent. His ancestors came • ' from County Down, Ireland, and his great-grandfather and great-grand- mother were both at the siege of Derry. At fifteen or sixteen years of age he entered Liberty Hall Academy, now Washington and Lee University. where he pursued his classical studies with diligence and success. He never attended a college, but was remarkably scholarly in his tastes and made the most thorough use of his opportunities. Having resolved to study for the min- istry, he placed himself under the care of Lexington Presbytery and began to studv theology with Rev. Samuel Brown. Soon his father emigrated to Grassy Valley, in Knox County, Tennessee. Here the son continued the study of the- ology with Samuel Carrick and Gideon Blackburn, of Union Presbytery, and in 1802 was licensed to preach. In the fall of that year he was installed pastor of Washington Church, in Knox County, where he labored nine years. His mis- sionarv and apostolic zeal led him through the mountainous counties of Ten- nessee sowing the seed of the Word. Thus he came to be deeply impressed with the intellectual, moral and religious destitution of the county, and as a result of these impressions he began to lay plans for meeting the great needs that confronted him everywhere. In 181 1 he accepted a call to become pastor of the New Providence Church, at Marvville, then one of the most important churches of Tennessee. While pastor here he supplied also, for ten years, the Second Presbyterian Church at Knoxville. A few years later his plans for providing educational facilities, so that the religiously-destitute people of the outlying counties might have intel- ligent preaching, began to take definite shape. Dr. Anderson, together with Rev. Eli Smith, of Frankfort. Kentucky, after a few years of patient labor among sympathizers in the North and elsewhere, established in 1819. at Marv- ville, the Southern and Western Theological Seminary. This institution existed for about twentv-three vears, and from it were graduated many earnest and con- secrated ministers, whose labors among the struggling churches of Tennessee and neighboring fields justified many times over the labors and prayers and sacrifices of the founders and supporters of the Seminary. In 1842 the insti- tution was chartered by the Legislature of Tennessee as Maryville College, of which Dr. Anderson was the President until three or four years before his death, which occurred in 1857.

AOW, it came to pass in those days in the fall of nineteen hundred and three, fl in the third year of the reigii of Samuel, that a mighty host fled before 4 the face of the band of 1907. and Ijcqueathed unto them their possessions in the land of Mary. For it had been rumored in the regions round about these parts that a Class should come whose wisdom should far surpass any that had as yet been in that land, and whose praises the other classes were unworthy to sing. Now. when the Class of one thousand and nine hundre d and three jour- neyed the space of three months, behold, this Class did come, as was noised abroad ; and it was on the very first da - of the third year of the reign of ' • Samuel, about the eighth hour, that this caravan arrived, and they came up from the four quarters of the earth, even from the distant lands of the North to the remotest borders of the South, and from Italy beyond the sea. And Samuel, beholding this vast multitude, was greatly pleased, and he wore a goodly countenance. At this time thev all went into the house where they were wont to meet, as was their custom, and the other tribes looked on even with wonder when the Freshman tribe came in, and they all murmured and said, Whence came these? And the men of ninetcen-six, even as one man, did gaze and stare at them exceedinglv, for thev were sore distressed, and they waxed wroth, and great envv seized them. Whereupon Samuel, seeing that a strife had risen among them, commanded that the tribes be separated, which was done accordingly, and thev went every man unto his own seat : and the tribe of nineteen-seven numbered about thirty and two. Now, it came to pass that certain of the other tribes went out to view these men. and the ' were greatly troubled and trembled much ; for they saw even afar off that they were strong and mighty men, such as Big Sam, of the tribe of Sampson, and Frederick, one of the minor Prophets, and Brig, the son of Zacchacus, and James the younger, and Taylor, surnamed Sin, and Guigou, (22) from i1k ' li-ilif df Jolin. and l ' ust(.T. trdin IIk ' tril)c of llciijamin, and others, which linu ' wmild fail to speak of. And llu ' sr uKMi sojounuMl not alonr, for tlicv Kft not their maidens l)chind, and Alargarot. and Kathcrine, and Xcll, and i.ida. and I ' carl, and Cora, ami Grace abode in llu ' camp, and kept watcli whik- ihrse men went out and sul)(hie(l tlie oilier tribes. So, when peace and (|niet reitfncd a,s; ' ain in the house, even tlic Sacred House, Sanuiel rose up and spoke to them after his usual manner: and liis s])eech was tilled with uinch wisilom and learnint;-. and he admonished them greatly, but thev barkened not to his voice, and they went their way. Furthermore, when Sanuiel liad left off speaking;, one of tlie sons of the jirophets rose n]i, whose name was Dean, but lii name was Waller at the first. Now. Uean was a tjreal man and a big man. and the Freshmen were amazed and feared exceedingly at his words, for he did also exiioinid the law and ])lead much with these people to keep the law of the scliool. 1jut they were as deaf men, and they went their way. Notwithstanding. Fretleriek the I ' roijhet led his tribe through divers scenes, and tlie were greatlv chastened and corrected by those who were set over them for their w ronsr-doing. but the l ' ' aenlt - east them not off. for the ' lo -ed them. CH.VPTER II. And it came ti. pass also, in the fourth year of the reign of Samuel. that the tribe of nineteen-seven crossed over into the land of the Sophs and drove llieui out. and occu])ied their land, and Post reigned in the stead of Prophet. . n(l Post walked not after the manner of I ' roffet. but trusted his own wisdom, wliicli accordingly lie led his people into much wrong and caused them to annoy the Faculty greatly. Now, some of the tribe of niiu ' tet-n-sexc-ii bad departed from us, while men of the other tribes cast their lot wi th us. Tlierefore, Post called the men of his tribe together and commaiuled them to prepare a large shot with a large ' 07 on it. and about the twelfth watch of the niglit to put it on the Hag-jrole on tlie cujjola, then to lock tlie door and plug the kev-liole. and also get some paint and iiaint all those posts and sidewalks around here, which was done accordingly. Now. when the night was gone, ' Samuel saw this flag, and knew not what it meant. ,so he drew nigh, and saw that it was the flag of ' q-. and it pleased him not. and lie went up and hurled it down, saying: Let no class tlag tloat (23) ovir us lure, - arc all uiukr (nie ilag. even the Hag of the (Grange and Garnet. ' And the men of nineteen-seven fled, lest he should lay hold on iheni : but he wist not to this day who hoisted the flag. . nd the other tribes would fain have taken this flag down, but they knew not what hour the men of nineteen-seven might come down n])on them; so they ventured not out. and it was well. CMAPTKR in. Xow, likewise it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Samuel that the men of nineteen-six waged war on this self-same tribe whom they had jjreviously driven out. and again the tribe of nineteen-six fled before them, and the tribe of nineteen-seven went in and passed the Junior land, and Queen Nell reigned in the place of Post, who was rejoiced by all. Therefore, in the very first part of the year there was handed to these many large books liy the Faculty, and the - were very attentive thereto, and turned from their evil way. and gained much knowledge and wisdom therefrom. And the Faculty looked on them and saw that they were a jealous people, and they remembered those evils against them no more, and the tribe of nine- teen-seven took knowledge of this, and did strive more earnestly to please the Faculty : and they found favor with the Faculty. At this time there entered the court one who greatly pleased the men of nineteen-seven, Phoebus, surnamed Pobus. The tribe, therefore, looked up to him. for he was a man of good understanding. Now, therefore, the end of the year was nigh at hantl. and the Faculty looked u])on the reign of Queen Nell, and it was a good one. CHAPTER TV. .So. in the last year of the sojourn of the tribe of nineteen-seven in the land of Maryville they again went up against the tribe of nineteen-six, and drove them from the land, and they went in and possessed, and they ruled over the other tribes whom the - had left behind. Xow, therefore. Queen Nell would rule no longer, because her people were a hard nation. I ' ig Sam, therefore, fell heir to the throne, and he did rule with equity in the sight of all men. So, also, Mac was chosen scribe to keep (24) the rcct)i (ls of his tril)i ' , wliicli ri-curds remain till llie iiresriil day, and Sahin was chosen liliic niaskT. and iir taxed (. ' very one se erely, insoinneii that llie whole tril)e mnriiuired and said. ( inr tinu- is ennsnmed in rii tc ns iivinj, ' , and the [ ' acuity said, ' ea. verily. It came tn pass in the last ear nf tlie snjiiurn (il llie trihe ol nineteen-seven that certain of her st)ns and dau,u; ' hters turned their backs on their own tribe and took them wives from other tribes. Urii; ' sought him a companitju among the W ' illobiies. and V ' r Sam amons;- the .Armlikitcs. ' Now. Nell also joined the Kaulstites, and Cora the Donites, but the others remained true. It was rumored also of this tribe that they would be greatly missed, for since the day they took up their abode in the land of JMaryville they had fur- nished men for the common army to fight against the heathen nations that came in to crush our teams. They have kept out any foe that might do us hurt even to this day. And Sam did call his tribe together often, and did counsel them, and did icveal to them many secrets, and they i i ndere(l over these things, but they told no man. It happened also in this same ear that Margaret became disobedient and unruly, and it grieved her tribe greatly. Furthermore, the Dean was greatly grieved and vexed, and accordingly he assignetl her to the front seat, which she occupies even till now. The days of this tribe were far spent, and the Faculty, seeing that they were .soon to separate and take their journey into different lands, chose two out of the entire tribe, Stanley, to be the spokesman, and Lida, the wise, to stand by his side, they being more free of speech than the rest. It came to pass, therefore, in the last days of their sojourn that the Faculty took counsel together, saying, They are all worthy ; let us give, therefore, unto each of them his mil. which they did accordingly, and every one received it gladlv. . ik1 the Faculty said unto them. We have added unto you yearly such as were fit to go forth with your tribe. . nd may you s o out into the world to be great ligiits ; and ma ' peace and hap])iness dwell in your midst, and may the tribe of nineteen-seven pros])er from generation to generation. Even so — the words of Foster, son of Jack, are ended. (2.S) Walter Mktzger Campbell, Spring City. Age. 22 ; height, 5 feet 8 inches ; weight, 150 pounds. Alpha Sigma, Will studv law.

Ed. Clemens was captain, and with an Easterly breeze behind she Waller(ed) down ofif her ways, casting Jewel (s) of spray before her. On the fourth day out, we sighted the battered hulk of the raft ' 09 surg- ing aimlessly through the billows, and an hour later the record of her voyage, all of which was communicated to the world in a floating milk-bottle. It was a tale of privation, torture and dissensions unparalleled in the history of the human or anv other race, and is calculated to bring a boil in a pitcher of ice-water. Rut whv detain you. reader, with the woes and lamentations of a derelict raft, when you are so wildly eager for our tale? Three davs afterward, the first mate, ' anden. cried. Land ahead. and soon the keel of our good ship grated along on the bottom for a spell and stopped high and drv on a beautiful beach. The excited chatter of the crew and passen- gers, as we leaped ashore to see what kind of a Robinson-Crusoe game we were up against, and were greeted by the jovial I ' .urger of the island, would have made the Tower of Babel seem like a game of chess in a deaf-and-dumb asylum. Down the beach came running the remaining castaways of the 09 raft, Evans, Mills and McClenahan. Further Converse was hushed until the cast- aways renounced their attachment to the crew of the wrecked raft and swore eternal allegiance and devotion to the jolly crew of our good ship. Not many davs after that, our ship set sail again out into the Ocean of Vacation, amid the merry rejoicings of all the passengers. About eight belles one night, last ear s story-teller and historian, he of the scanty wool and Penn- sylvania dialect, began to tell a story. It ran something like this : During (34) a (Hiiz uiuliT IK ' an alK-r, dUf ilay, a yoiuli nf ilu- ' oij C ' lass wliispcTLd to a inai(k-n of the saim- class, who was stumped, the correct answer to a f|iiestinn in Trij;:., when the maiden hhished, and liar came in a chorus from the assem- bled Inniors. ' lio uwv heard of an - of tlial liiinch knowin;,; ' anything- about Trig., or if thcv did, bavins;- the milk of human kindness llowiu!;- in ibeir e(jr])Ses stronuf enough to lielp another! Once we put in a feverish, restless night on boaril. ll lurned out that Skipper Clemens ' compass had lost its ball-bearings, and be had bunked us wrong. Instead of sleejiing with our heads toward . lma .Mater, we were actually pointing in the opposite direction, probably toward some infernal Prep, school or I ' . T. One morning toward September a joyous screech awoke the crew. Miss Franklin was making a Rank (in) noise on the starbnnrd deck, and the [cGin- le_ ' S hollered Moore, too. Tlie - were looking toward a L ' nion Station, and when we shook them and asked them what was the matter, they ]iointed to a group of four on the platform signaling to us. We ti ok them on board. They were Miss Muecke. Evans. Johnson and Xaff. and they said they had drifted about all summer, seeking entrance to that famous fount of knowledge. Maryville College. We had just saved them from a miserable fate, and enlisted them to the crew at once. The morning of Sejitember 4th opened cool and stimulating. Tlie air was heavily laden with an odor of new grassone. Smells like new-mown hay, said Miss Snodgrass. taking a decji breath. It was the Fresiiman Class, scat- tered around. Land ho! signaled the lookout. At last we cheered as one We had arrived back at Maryville. The reception committee was at the K. A. wharf to meet us. It had been organized by Dr. Wilson, and includefl volunteer delegates from the following: Smithsonian Institute. Faculty of Maryville College, United States Senate, Clover Club of Philadeljihia, Hinds Noble, publishers, Burr Mackintosh Company. Board of Trustees of Maryxille College. British Parliament. International . tbletic .Association, Smart Set, New York and I ' .iris. Legion of the Garter, United States Regular . rmy. Cooperative Boarding Club, and others. (35) Amid the deafening din uf cheers and hcnvls of How wee How ' s, ' the old crew and recruits landed, and were driven to the Hill in the automobiles of the committee. There, in front of the new Chapel, surrounded by the committee and a cheering multitude, Andrew Carnegie, attired in orange and garnet kilts and a Junior bonnet, pinned upon each throbbing breast a bichloride-of-gold hero medal for saving the only fit survivors of the 09 raft and the drifting four. In behalf of the Class, IMiss Goddard, in a voice clear and strong, thanked !Mr. Carnegie, and announced that if the Laird of Skibo would furnish half the funds to produce a good ' ' arsity in football and a captain for this year, we would furnish the other half and a manager and a captain for next year. Andy hasn ' t kept his part of the agreement, but we ' ve kept ours. The next dav we established a government and elected the following officers : President Hexriett.v Muecke. rice-President C.

(36) HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS THO-AIAS F. CAMPBELL President. Miss ANNA NEIFER Vice-President. Miss SARAH FLAKE Secretary. ILENCE had reig-ned long enoug-h on the Hill; student and teacher had enjoyed the summer vacation and were refreshed from their work. when. ' ' on the morning of September 3th. the bell in the tower of Old Anderson was roused from her quiet and peaceful slumbers and made to send her voice once more throughout the land, welcoming all back to the work and sport of college life. This was the beginning of the most prosperous year yet recorded in the annals of ] Iaryville College. It was the time of the greatest rejoicing ever known to the Facult}- — when the - saw the Sophomore Class returning. They gave us a hearty welcome, and told us to take charge of things at once and see that everything was done well. On looking about we noticed a little band of people who were frightened. They seemed to be trying to vanish, and were heard to whisper one to another, ■ ' What shall we do to be saved? A close examination revealed to us that it was the Freshman Class. Seeing their miserable condition and hearing their humble request, we granted them permission to enter school. The first thing of importance that needed our attention was athletics, and in this ' C did our part bravely and efficiently. We sent as manv. or even more men. according to our number, to the gridiron last fall than anv other class in school. ' e furnished two of the eleven that went south to Dixie and won the greatest fame yet known to Nlaryville football. When Thanksgiving came and the boys looked back over the past season with so much pleasure, they did not forget to look for a man to be captain of next year ' s plucky boys, so they asked our Horny Buck Alagill, who is one of the fastest ends in the South, to accept that honor. (40) One giianl and ilu ' manager n{ the buys ' A ' arsitv basketball team and one forward on tlie girls ' team are from our Class, and we have bright |)rosi)ects of supplying some of the most important [jositions on the baseball diamond this spring. To keej) up the work in all the di fferent de])artments of the College has kc])t us pretty busy, but we master everything. There is not much inclination to grind or dig, but some of our boys and girls have been known to do such wonders in the class-room as to cause the astonished teacher to wonder what he could do if all his students were of such a type. In the societies and associations of various kinds you always find our Class well represented by liard workers and good leaders. Our career at Maryville is not without some of the troubles and obstacles of college life, but these must all be mercome in some way. The Fresh Folks, of which we spoke in the beginning, thought that bv forcing one of their members on us they would better themselves and injure us, and if they had been successful, there is no doubt that both conditions would have been true. But thus it was: they took him. who happened to be a measly pig (for they have divers things ani ing them), and deposited him in one of our recitation-rooms. When the Class met on the next morning they recognized the straggler as one of the number from w hich he came, and took charge of him at once for being on forbidden grounds. When his mates heard his scpiealings, they realized that he was destined to meet ill fate, and even made vain attempts to rescue him. During the following night and next day he visited certain places in the comnnmity. where his appearance was entirel - changed, and on the next evening, when sujiper was called at the club, the Sophomores were feasting on roast pig. This taught the ' lo ' s not to try to run their hog over folks, and they have not been known to do any rash things since. Looking on the past as gone but not lost, and looking into the future as promising, we press ever forward. With our forces w-ell united and working in perfect harmony we finish another year, and w-ithout boast we can say that we look on this as the most successful year we have spent in College. The vic- tories that we have helped to win in athletics, the success in class-room and soci- eties, the existence of a true class and college s])irit, and a determination to make our mark in the world, give us good reason to anticipate pleasure and success in the two vears of our course vet to come.

Through many dark and dreary years the world and the Faculty has waited with patient hope for history to repeat itself. The Faculty had faith. Oh, Faculty, the reward of thy faith is at hand ! Maryville College in the last few years has received from different (44) iii(li iil ial uKiin 1)cik ' o1ciiI yills, Init iu rr in Iut liistorx ' lias slu- ever been contrilinlcil to si lilni-ally as lasl Si-pli-inln-r, wlun llir iM-usliniaii Class gave itself ti llie school. The I ' reshman Class of ii;U) has been a greater honor to Maryvillc Col- lege than an i ilier (. ' lass that ever sal in the halls of Anderson. The Fresh- man Class of this year is an honest and trnstworlhy Class; if not, why is it that whenever a Senior, a junior, or a Sophomore want an odd job done, they always trust a hreshman with it .• ' . The I ' Veshnian Class of tills year has been nobly re])resente(l in all func- tions of the College. The Stli of last Sei)tember the Freshmen had more men on the gridiron ready to make an effort to sn])i)ort her Alma Mater than any other Class. After the hard weeks of practice had been gone through and a A ' arsity was chosen to cope with the great teams of this mighty Southland, the Freshmen had held their own by giving more men to the A ' arsity than any other one Class. The same Class of 1910 also gave two men to the ' Varsity basketball team, and will be there with its share when the baseball A ' arsity is chosen, or on Field Day. While the Freshmen have great physical strength, the - also excel in mental abilitx . During the [last year they have put G. A. Wentworth to shame, as well as Bull, by showing to him numerous and grievous mistakes he had made in his several editions. The Freshman Class also has its share among the leaders of the V. W ' . and V. M. C. A. The Freshman Class has always maintained a high standing at the board- ing club. The Freshman girls are never behind in anything. They have a majority in the Choir, thus making it very easily seen that we have more musicians than any of the other classes. Our beloved Sophomore Class was looking forward with great pro.spects to what Santa Claus would bring them Xmas. To their surprise the Freshman Santa found one of their would-be classmates Hallowe ' en night astray and in a ditch, and like a good Samaritan helped him out anil tixik him to Dr. Ilarnes ' loom on a quiet Thursday morning, with ' o(j ])ainted on his back. When the Soph. Class assembled for their liible lesson on this morning, who should greet them but a new classmate in the form of what the I ' rodigal Son was a herder of. He was as fully efficient as they. This member soon died, and it was his head that hung on the wire before die Chapel, with o ' l painted between his eyes. (45) The Sophs, buried their Hallowe ' eii-Xmas classmate with many tears. His tomb bears this epigram : Gone out of sight, Died from great fright of a Freshman. The Freshman Class is a jolly good class in anyway you take them. The college woods often ring with the merriment of our Class picnics, and our honor is always maintained in anything we undertake Our Class banner floats in triumph from the College cupola.

UTLRAHY S0CI£r £S ALPHA SIGMA W.-k OXG ago, in those Paleozoic ag ' es, when tlie oldest member of mir Senior ft,? Class entered the Preparatory Department of the College, the Alpha Sigma Literary Society differed in many respects from the Society of to-day. The hall was verv plainly furnished, the membership was comparatively small, and the work was all done in one section. But the same spirit of work and enthusiasm, of loyalty and mutual helpfulness, was theirs — that spirit which they have left to us as a most precious heritage. Progress has always been our keynote. Onward ' our motto, and the his- tory of the Societ}- has ever been that each year ' s work has transcended the record of the preceding year. And never has this been better exemplified than in the w ' ork of the year just closing. Owing to the phenomenal increase in our membershi]), the Society has for the past five years been divided into a Junior and a Senior section, but the continued increase, especially in the College Depart- ment, necessitated this year the creation of still a third section. This Middle section, numbering over thirty members, has held its meetings on Saturday night at the Y. M. C. A. . uditorium. During the year we have placed a beautiful new piano in our already sjilen- didly-furnished hall. This has added greatly to the interest of the programs rendered. ( )ur walls have been further embellished by the addition of a fine picture of the ten strong men which our Society furnished for the Class of ' 06. A pleasant incident of the year ' s work was a visit from Mr. I ' hil. Ta_ lor. who was with us last year. Ir. Taylor presented the Society with a gavel made from wood from the house occupied by John Sevier, Tennessee ' s first Governor, also from the old church built by Rev. Saiuuel Doak, East Tennessee ' s pioneer Presbyterian minister. The literary work of the year has been of the highest order, and our pro- grams have been varied bv the addition of a great deal of excellent nuisic, both vocal and instrumental. Oratorical interest has been stimulated by a contest for the beautiful gold medal offered by our members of the Senior Class for the best oration delivered. (54) ( )ur graduates for tliis year minilxM- ten men — men who have been leaders ■11 lilerarv work, in athletics, and in the Christian work of the College : men of whom we are justh ' proud, ;ind whose records in society work will remain with us as an incentive for future progress. So ends the chronicle of the year ' s work, and we are content to close the book and give the verdict, Well done, satisfied that the , l])ha Sigma eagle has soared to greater heights than ever before, and proud of the progress that our Society has made in the first quarter century of its existence. ( . .S ) THE ATHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY fHE Atlu ' iiian Literarv Society lias Ix-en organized longer than any society of anv kind in connection with tlie College. It came into existence through the efforts of nine young men right at the beginning of the reopening of the College after that devastating struggle between the boys in Blue and the boys in Gray. Scarcely had the battle smoke drifted away over our lovely mountain tops, and vanished in the pure air of our Southern hills, when Alaryville College shook itself, figuratively, and brushed the dirt and dust of the countn ' s struggle from its coat and went in to do battle, not with its brothers this time, but with ignorance. These nine young men realized the courage of the little institution and were in svmpathv with its principles, and so to help, and to have part, in this new strug-2-le thev orranized the Athenian Literarv Societv. This noble old Society has never been false to the ambitions and principles of its organizers. The Society has ever stood for honest, conscientious work, and has kept before it always the tremendous importance of its work in a young man ' s education. How Alarvvillc College has grown since those old days! How, too, has our beloved old Society grown! If old Dr. .Vnderson could visit ' ' oorhees Chapel some morning at prayers, his emotions would be difficult to conjecture. So if Hugh Sawyer, the first President of the Athenian, could come up the stairs leading to our hall some Friday night and hear the sweet tones of a jiiano, played by an . thenian, coming from widiin, and could go in and attend the program, and could see the impressive numlwrs, and hear the oratory, and feel the pervading Athenian sjiirit in the beautiful liall. his emotions would also be difficult to conjecture. Proud we are when we contemplate our advancement, but prouder still we may be when we think of the advancement we are still to make. When all of our members of to-day have gone to meet those original nine, and the members as many years lience look back upon us, may they look back upon as great strides of improvement as we now see we have taken. May they have no cause to think (57. that we have grown indolent, or that we have failed in any way to uphold the noble principles of our grand old Society. Although our beloved owl is the emblem of the oldest organization on Col- lege Hill, he is not old in one sense. His feathers are not turning gray about the temples and his eye is undimmed by his years of literary toil. His argu- ment on the debates is keen and telling, liis oratory strong and fluent, his essays abreast of the times, and his enthusiasm undving. T. A. OFFICERS OF THE ATHENIAN President O. R. POST.

(71) FOOTBALL— SEASON OF 1906 f; ' T THE BEGINNING of the season no definite forecast could be advanced , k on account of the changed style of play under the new rules. A splendid ■s ' lot of material, judged by old standards, gathered on the gridiron for first practice, but so much depended upon the ingenuity of the coach that the success of the season was uncertain. Coach Dickson, however, soon proved that he was equal to the task set before him. He entered earnestly into his work and showed great facility in developing plays to take advantage of the revisions. Nine veterans formed the nucleus of the team and served to stead} ' the new men who won places. The first game was an easy proposition, but gave the team some good prep- aration for the game with Georgia Tech.. which followed soon after. The most sanguine supi)orters of the Orange and Garnet only dared hope that Maryville would hold Tech. down to a low score, and the result, a tie, caused great joy and enthusiasm on the Hill. The da ' after returning from Atlanta the team left Alaryville again for a long, hard, Southern trip, upon which the squad traveled nearly two thousand miles, and played three of the strongest teams in the S. I. . . . ., Mississippi, (72) Alaliama, ami Alaliama I ' lilylrclinic liistiiulr. AUIkju Ii iwo (if the tlircc games were lost, tin- trip was a success, bringing Alaryvillc before the Southern college world as she hail never been brought before. The fact that on this trip not a single man was hurt seri iusly enough to be forced lo- go out of a game argues well for tile coniliticm and grit of the men. The glorious culmination of the season was the defeat of Tennessee soon after the return from the Southern trip. The work of the backs was the feature i f this game, especially that of Cam|)bell, who ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Then followed two more victories, won from Central I ' niversitx ' of Ken- tucky and Dahlonega. The worst defeat of the season, 28 to o, was suffered at the hands of Sewanee, but this was followed by a victory, Bingham being defeated in the last game of the season. In atteiiiiiting personal mention of the men, one must praise all alike for hard, consistent and gritty playing. Captain Foster made possible the interference which won so many games, and called forth ]iraise from all who saw it. His running with the ball was also splendid. Alagill well earned the next year ' s captaincy, to which he has been elected, by his tine work at left end. both offensive and defensive. Campbell ' s work in backing up the line might well ins])ire the men who played the line positions to wondrous deeds. His ofifensive plaving was brilliant. llarr ' s strongest point was his kicking, although he was a first-class man in the other departments of the game. His punting saved the team from defeat more than once, especially in the . uburn gaiue. C. Hunt, at center, did not make a single bad pass during the entire season. This is a remarkable record, considering the fact that the variety of the plaxs called for some very difficult passing. Smith and ISaxless. the guards, formed, with Hunt, a center that no team which met Alaryvillc could break. L. Hunt, substitute left guard, played a brilliant game against Dahlonega. The tackles. R. C. and A. C. Samsel. played a bard, steady game through- out the season. R. C. Samsel ' s skill in breaking through the line resulted in two touchdowns for Maryville in important games. Henry, at right end, was especially valuable in receiving fiirward passes. Taylor and Elmore, who played quarter at different times, each ran the team well. Taylor, although liglit for the position, played a ] lucky g;uue. htlmore ' s running back of jnuits was esjiecially noteworthy. Steinmetz, as manager, furnished the best schedule ever arranged for a Marwille team. (73) The spirit exhibited by the scrubs was a great help to the A ' arsity. A i)rac- lice scrinimag-e with them called frirth greater effort from the men than many of the regular games. The scrubs won both of the two games jilayed bv them. The support of the student-body, an essential to a successful season, w-as all that could be desired. Coach REID S. DICKSON. Captain LLOYD E. FOSTER, 07. Manager KARL ED. STEINMETZ, 08.

For some reason or other there is something connected with the OKI Hill that always turns out for us a superb nine. Probably it is due to the fact that more enthusiasm is shown in this sport, both by the students and the townspeople, than in either football, track or basketball. Last year ' s team was no exception to the general rule, and out of a total of nineteen games played, won fourteen and lost five. Her percentage, compared with the teams she played, wbuld have been .733 — at the top, to be sure. No mention will be made of the respective merits of the individual players. Suffice it to say that they were all up to Maryville ' s old standard in baseball, and fittingly maintained the glorious records of the past.

When church I was a-shirking, I found that sacrilegious ram A-pumping and a-working. Oh, can it be! my comrade cried, In horror and dismay, ■ ' That Doctor Wilson knows this thing Doth buck the rules this way? I know it has a heart of iron. Of fire it hath no dread ; But think how many youthful souls Astray it may have led ! Do you suppose Doc Wilson cares What course this ram may run. So long as no one misses church. As you and I have done? If no one smokes or chews or spits Upon this campus green. This ram may bust the Sabbath laws, As you and I have seen. Come, let us leave this sinful ram Till brighter days shall come. And big things drown the little out ; Meantime we d best keep mum. (98) PiPKR. WERE PARADISE ENOW! |A11 for the pater! shouted Jinimie, as, willi open letter in hand, he made ,, a leap for the blue slip of paper fluttering to the floor. A corker, too, Dick, gazing with dilating eyes at three perforated figures which marked a goodly allowance from an indulgent father. Twice as large as the last one — and just in the nick of time! ' Oh, waltz me around again, Dicky, ' he .sang jubilantly. And seizing the unwilling Dick in his arms, he executed a few- steps around the room with elephantine gracefulness, while in gleeful tones he enumerated : The banquet to-morrow night : the Junior Prom. Friday night : a few dozen American Beauties for Her, with proud emphasis, on Frida - morn- ing; five pounds of Huyler ' s on Sat — Hold on, O deluded son of fortune ! coolly interru]5ted Dick, who, having managed to extricate himself from the tenacious grasp of Jimmie, now threw himself onto the couch. You forget, my boy, the relentless figures of your tailor bill, the continuous dunning of the pressing club, to say nothing of the many times I ' ve answered the landlach ' s rap and f|ucrulnus ' Und ver ist Herr Blake, yes? A sickly grin spread over the boyish countenance of Jimmie Blake. He mentally cut down the American Beauties to one dozen. ' ■ Oh, exclaimed Dick, with all the exuberance of a happy thought, did I tell you Nell Fairfield ' s little brother was here to-day, wanting you to i)ay for lour lost tennis balls and a ruined seven-dollar Si Jalding racquet? I told Johnnie to call again. Now, in my efforts to keep you straight, old fellow, let me remind you that your dues— Enough, groaned Jimmie. collapsing into a chair. ' ' Cheerful memory, ours, and he glared with savage fierceness at his aggressively-calm roommate. Dick suddenly sat up. looked at his watch, and whistled. If there is going in be any cramming to-night, Jimmie. he said, better round up the fellows. ' A resounding bang of the door marked the departure of ruflled Jimmie. Dick rose, shoved his hands into his ])( ckets, and strode to the open window. He looked out into the night. A nearby street light llickered its rays over his (99) face, revealing his features to be strong and clear cut. His massive head was firmly set on broad, well-built shoulders ; his whole frame bespoke an athlete of the finest type. The slightl -protruding chin and the sharp, penetrating glance from steel-gra)- eyes indicated a temperament in keeping with his remarkable physique. And it was his unconquerable, dominating spirit and determined, masterful will that had won the respect and admiration, not unmixed with awe, of his fellow comrades. If ever Dick Dawson met an obstacle, a seemingly unsurmountable obstacle, in his path, with characteristic stubbornness he would grab it b}- the throat and choke it into unwilling but complete submissiveness. But when Dick met the Girl, some months previous, he found himself ruled and swayed by some hitherto unknown and irresistible power. When it came to telling Miss Dorothy Brown of the admiratiim and adoration that surged in his manly breast, he choked and stuttered like a mere schoolboy in the first throes of his puppy-love — he was surely a conquered Dick. The warm sweetness of the night breathed upon his face and filled him with tender longing. The words of ( )niar Khayyam came to him with a newer, sweeter significance. A book of verses underneath the bough, a jug of wine, a loaf of bread — and thou beside me singing in the wilderness — oh, wilderness were Paradise enow! But the hopelessness of it, he moaned, Had I the bank account of m - friend Jinunie, and the lucrative business that is waiting for the dictations of that Ferris-wheel brain of his, matters woulil ha ' e been settled long before this. Instead, I have to hump up against the world ; if I make a flunk of it, none to encourage : if I should hap]3en to succeed, no one to praise ! He gazed stub- bornlv out into the quiet mistiness of the night in the direction of the house of the Girl. But if I knew you cared, he continued, vehementl}-. why — ' were Paradise enow. ' His meditation was abruptly ended liy the noisy entrance of Jimmie and Seniors to studv for the morrow ' s examinations. After the boys had settled themselves comfortably in window seats, in chairs, on cushions, and on the floor, with general attitude of feet pointing upward, cpiestions were fired with the rapidity of Gatling guns. Jimmie took the lead and asked questions noteworthy for their vagueness and obscuritw Don ' t know. retorted Jack Forest in reply to one of Jimmie ' s rising inflections. Look it up, commanded the latter, with all the authority and severity of an aged professor. Look it up yourself, growled Jack; ou ' re the one that ' s wantin ' to know. But. old man. Jimmie expostulated, it is for your enlightenment as well as for my own. ( loo ) Fire away with anntiuT oik-. (ii.nianiic ' il scniK- nm-.

While llrewster is thinking- this mit we shall ])artake of light refresh- ments, broke in Oingy. With good-luimored sarcasm at this gentle thrust there was a general laugh as the boys uproariously caught at the ])icces of chew- ing-gum with which they were lieing pelted by the gerierous C.ingy. wlm in a sing-song voice was saxing : Once a man who was courting a maid. But to kiss her was always afraid ; Gave the lady a chew Of our taffy-tulu, .And she gladly consented to trade. I ' ve got it ! yelled Ilrewstcr, with more zest than usual. There was a quick lull of voices. Got what? asked some one. The century. • ' Out with it, then. Fourth. Hum ! doesn ' t sound faiuiliar, granted Gingy. ' Dawson, you ' ve been as mum as a clam to-night. Get up steam and look this up in a hurry. Dick smiled good naturedly. . . quick fluttering of leaves and he read : Justin Martyr, born in Palestine, near the site of the ancient Sichem. In Ephesus about A. D. 135. There was a quick penciling of notes. Had been an adherent of the Platonic — Sufficient, howled Gingy. ' Let ' s rest. iirewster su,ggested, thuiuping his head wearily. Gingy, who are nou going to take to the Prom, to-morrow night? blissfully ignoring his grammar. Miss Wright. . nd you? ' ■ .Most chawiuing .girl ima,s;inal)le. and lirewster closed his eyes, smiling with cK-mniiiacal gK-efiilness. Who is she? was shouted in chorus. After a few moments of im])ressive silence Hrew-ster stole a look at tiie unsuspecting Dick, and then said earnestly: .Miss Dorothy I ' lrowii. Tlie effect was that of a bomb shell thrown into their midst. ( lOi ) Dorothy Brown ! ' they echoed, glancing ' apprehensively at Dick, who, though apparentl}- unmoved, had unconscious!)- flushed, and an intense light was burning in his eyes. Dick was thinking rapidly. It was as though a rude shock had suddenl)- awakened his sense to the realization of the uncertainty of his relations with the Girl. The perspicacity with which he was naturally endowed embled him to keenlv appreciate his position and the move he must make — no other than to come to an understanding with Miss Dorothw That he had been a stu])id, stut- tering idiot in the past was no reason that he should continue in that dumb state. His quick resolution was so relieving and reassuring that it was quite the Dick of old who said : Well, fellows, Brewster vrtay not be such a lucky fellow in choosing a girl for his next Prom. This jarring note, felt by all, caused them to get down ink with apparent seriousness and applicability, but in reality they were wondering at this outburst and its possible meaning. Books were soon closed and the boys dispersed to their respective rooms, leaving Jimmie and his roommate in unwonted silence. Finally Dick, unable to hold in any longer, burst out impetuously : Jimmie, old man, what is a fellow to do when he loves a girl, an l all he has to offer her is a senseless old sheepskin and his own worthless self? jimmie grinned and studied the ceiling intently. ' ell, Dickv, choosing his words deliberately, screw up your courage to such a point that you ' ll burst if you don ' t ask her. Sound advice, if a bit inelegant, muttered Dick to himself. Jimmie removed his eves from the ceiling, assumed an air of importance, and addressed Dick with manly directness: Behold me, not even armed with a sheepskin, yet T popped the question — he stopped impressively. And—? She accepted me ! his chest expanded with pride. Lucky fellow. murmured Dick, walking to a gold-framed picture of a lovely girl. He met the pair of laughing, taunting eyes with steady seriousness. Dorothy llnnvn, sternly, T am going to make you care for me, and before I leave mv old Alma Alater I am going to have your yes ' to make me the happiest man in the universe. The peaceful slunibtr of tired jimmie was disturbed in the early morning hours bv a strange mumbling of words. He opened his eyes, to behold his roommate sitting up in bed waving his arms expressively in the air. He thought to hear the elocjuent words of Dick ' s commencement oration : instead, And thou ( I02 ) beside me singing in the wilderness fell on the ears nf the long-suffering Jininiic. Oil, foFLifet it, groaned tliat nnsynipathetie imlividnal as he sleepily sought refuge beneath his pillow. It was Coinnieneenient day. The university grounds were crowded with the usual merry bevy of friends and relatives. Even Nature seemed to be rejoicing in the eventful day : the birds were twittering and trilling in praise- worthy competition with tlic band inlaying on the campus, and whose music was almost drowned by the hum and clatter of so many happy voices : old Sol was shining down his brightest rays, making the girls in their festive dresses appear dazzling visions of fluffy whiteness. The gay throng wove in and out, dotted here and there with a black-robed Senior wearing his unaccustomed apparel with comical clumsiness. Dick was hail fellow well met on all sides. His jovial manner and ready wit brought him hearty responses of laughter. The fact that the time for deliv- ering his oration was fast approaching did not disturb Dick. But far more appalling was the more difficult and presumptuous task of persuading a young lady that in him lay her onl}- means of joy and contentment, her onlv source of future happiness. Scared, old man. squealed some one at his shoulder. Dick started at this unexpected onslaught and apparent divination of his thoughts. Ye — s, he stammered, then quickly recovering himself, answ ered : Oh, no, not a bit. At the close of the graduation exercises there was a confusion of hand- shakes, laughter, and congratulations. Dick acknowl edged as many as he was pressed to, all the time elbowing his way to a pretty brown-haired, brown-eyed girl who was patiently waiting for him. Let ' s out of this. he whispered tragical!) in her ear upon reaching her. And with a woman ' s quick intuition she smilingly led the way to a side exit and out into the clear sunlight. After walking in silence for some moments he skillfully veered her into a path that led to a most delightfully secluded part of the campus. Dorothy congratidated hiiri on his splendid oration and abilitv in that line, after which desultory remarks were exchanged until they came to the cool, shady spot of nature ' s own device. They sat down on a rickety, rustic bench, and Dick let his diploma fall to his feet while his courage rose to the dangerous poitU which Jimniie had so wisely su,ggested. ( 103 ) The distant hum of voices and happy laughter came to them as sounds far away. A warm, dreams- loveliness surrounded them. Dorothy looked with pretty indifference at ever} ' - thing around lier. Dick looked with anything but indifference at Dorothy. Dorothy, he said at last, as his big hand com- pletely inclosed hers, I haven ' t anything but a sheepskin — ' ' Sheepskin ? ' ' gasped Dorothy, with a startled, searching glance at Dick. He kicked the parch- ment suggestively. My diploma. But, well, I — I don t understand. Dorothy could be deplorably obtuse at times ! But Dick, undaunted, went on : Dorothy. I love you. There was a tremulous silence, then : ■ ' Dick, with seeming irrelevance, what is that verse of ' Omar — some- body, ' you are always saying to me ? A book of verses underneath the bough? inquiringly. Yes, that ' s it. J g of wine, a loaf of bread, and — Just what does that mean, Dick? she broke in runiinatively. But noticing a gathering frown, she said quickly: But go on. And thou beside me singing in the wilderness. He stopped and looked at Dorothy witli tender earnestness, but Dorothy was looking away. Dorothy, look at me. Finally she turned her glorious eyes to his. and what he saw in their mar- velous brown depths made a great wave of hapjiiness sweep over him. Every- thing seemed hushed for one beautiful moment, and then it was Dorothy who whispered : Were Paradise enow !

(io8) CHARACTERISTIC ATTITUDES OF FAMOUS PEDAGOGUES TOLD IN RHYME AND PICTURE IZ?ovv7 07 r w v- . .f Te y-f f y ' - ' - ( lOi) I LA AMERICANITA SHAT strange, weird music it was! It had an underlying theme of unsatisfied longing, a half sadness, that a sigh would express coldly ' ( and a sob would express rudely. The minor melody, now low, caress- ing, strangely sweet, now faster, higher, wilder, now shrieking madly, then dying away to a little despairing sob, carried and sustained the dancers till they were conscious only of rhythm. The whole world was rhythm. How different was this danza from the steady thump-thump of the two- step music to which she danced at home. How commonplace at that moment seemed the sweet, slow waltzes which had seemed perfect to her before now. The music ceased, and Don Pancho was walking beside her. He was speak- ing to her swiftly. La Americanita could not understand all the words he spoke, but she caught his meaning. She answered him politely in pretty, broken Spanish, half encouraging him in the spell of the moment ; but they were inter- lupted bv the opening strains of a waltz and the arrival of her partner for that dance. Don Pancho left her with a formal bow, saying: I kiss your feet, seno- rita. Don Pancho was always formal. Six months before Vivian Gray had left her home in a prairie town in Indiana to become a teacher in the Government schools of Puerto Rico. From the moment she went on board the southbound steamer she seemed to be living in a dream. She was impressionable in the extreme. As the ship moved along, all the new elements, the sea, the unbroken horizon, the ship motion, and the strange faces gave her a sense of exhilaration, seemed to lift her up and out of the common, ordinary world in which she had been living, and introduce licr to a new, wider, and more idealistic world. When they came in sight of land, the beautiful mountains, with their heavy grav haze, the intense vivid green of the valleys of sugar cane, the deeper green of the water through which the shijj was plowing, and the bright sunshine over all served to increase the spell. Nor was the half-enchantment dispelled by some months of residence in the island. Her work la ' in Arecibo, a picturesque sea- ( MO ) jiort t(nvii. Dona Mercedes, with whom I a Americanita hoarded, petted her, and taught her Spanish. The towns pco])le, tliough they iiated Los Ameri- canos as a nation, nevcrtlieless speedily formed c. strongf attachment for La Americanita, and the school children adored her. Accordingly tlie girl fuund herself peculiarly hajsjiy and contented in the strange country. Chief among her admirers was the nc]3hew of Dona Mercedes, I ' l Senor Don ranclid Ouinoncs. lie v;is inerrl - the cninplcting element of the new environment. Ilis influence over her was similar to thai of the se. ' i, and the mountains, and the cane fields, only it was stronger. After the night of the dance La . mericanita grew troubled. She had been reared in a very conservative way, in a town which was strictlv Protestant. Don Pancho was Catholic, radically Catholic. As the girl thought about the matter, it seemed to her that she might give up her friends, her customs, her country, and even her language, for Don Pancho, but she could not reconcile herself to the thought of giving up her religious beliefs. Accordingly, she would commit herself no farther, and became stolidly indifferent v hen Don Pancho tried to convert her. Senorita, have the goodness to promise me one thing, he said one day. Que es, Senor? What is it? said La Americanita. Promise me that your honor will go sometimes to the Catholic Church. There your honor will hear the sermons of the priests. There your honor will learn much more about our beautiful faith than I can teach. But, Don Pancho! she said prettily, perhajis I don ' t want to learn. ■ ' Ay, dios mio! he said in despair. A few days later La .-Vmericanita stood at her window, absent-mindedly gazing out upon the busy street. It was Good Friday, and school has been closed for the day. . s she looked, a young girl and her mother came out of the house across the way. bearing prayer-books in their hands, and turned in the direction of the church. La .- mericanita watched them till they turned the corner, then turned impulsively. ]iut on her hat and gloves, and followed them. She stood a moment thoughtfully on the massive church steps: then with an impatient gesture, as though putting down old prejudices, she turned and entered the dark, cool church. Coming in from the brilliant sunlight, she could at first distinguish nothing more than that here and tliere were candles burning. . heavv. intoxicating odur nf incense greeted lur. I ' Vom the organ above came sweet, minor strains of music. As the girl ' s eyes became accustomed to the gloom, she could distinguish figures here and there kneeling on the stone floor. She glided along a side aisle, that she might disturb no one. As she was passing an altar siie was suddenly attracted by a large oil ])aint- mg. It was a three-quarter length portrait of Christ, done by Des .Xnglcs. ( iir ) Close by burned a candle, wliicli cast weird flickering ligbts upon tbe picture. The wavering light, instead of detracting from the beauty of the picture, rather added to it. The girl was irresistibly held, charmed by it. Upon the soft hair was a crown of thorns. Across the left shoulder was borne a massive cross. The cords and muscles of the neck and of the hands, clasped about one arm of the cross, stood out in prominence, showing the weight of the cross and the toil of the bearer. The dark eyes had a strange light in them ; with the flickering of the candle the expression seemed to change : at times they seemed to be look- ing into some other world and to receive a reflection of some divine glory. The next moment they changed ; the far-away look disappeared : He was present. alive, full of sympathy, love and forgiveness. But ever they were strong eyes, firm eyes, commanding eyes. La Americanita stood and looked long ; then she turned away into the dark- ness and knelt down on the cool stone floor. But if she prayed, it was a word- less prayer, an unexpressed petition. She was thinking. This was the place where Pancho wanted her to worship ; it was a beautiful place ; there, perhaps, before that altar she would kneel down to receive the priest ' s blessing on her marriage. Why might she not worship here as sincerely and earnestly as in any place? Soon slie realized that many people were gathering in the church. She rose and stood back against a large pillar. The great, barn-like doors of the church were thrown open, letting in a still greater mass of people. The sunlight shone in. and the broad daylight fell upon altars gaudily adorned, painted in gold and silver, and decorated with red and yellow paper flowers — fell upon the images of saints with staring, waxy eyes and weak, expressionless faces. La Americanita ' s face grew troubled. There was a stir near the main altar. A procession was moving down the main aisle. A priest, el padre cura, headed it. La Americanita noticed that he had a low forehead, narrow, glinting eyes, and a heavy, sensual mouth. Instinctively she hated him. Following the priest were four boys carrying lighted wax tapers, and behind them eight men, carrying a table-like altar upon their shoulders. Upon the altar was a hideous, tottering, wax image, represent- ing the Christ bearing the cross. A band outside the church door awaited the procession, and La Americanita could hear the strange music playing as the procession wended its way through the plaza. The church was quickly emptied. But La Americanita stood still. Again she was thinking. What numbers of these ]ieople seemed to be doing homage to this big wax figure rather than to the spirit it was supposed to represent ! These figures were shams : the paper flowers were shams : the priest was a sham. (112) What was all verv beautiful in the dusk has become but a horrid nnx-kery in the broad daylight. She dared not look back at the jiicture of the Christ for fear it, too, would be s])oiled. With the shock a feeling of re]nilsion came over her. At that moment she almost hated Puerto Rico, and for the first time she was homesick. She was glad that but a few weeks of her school term remained. Mi Senorita. your ImiKir has made me very ha])i)y. Your honor has come to mv church at last. Hut the glad light in Don I ' am-ho ' s eyes quickly farlcd when he saw her face. Yes, she said, coldly, Init 1 don ' t like your church. He made her a courtly bow as she turned and moved toward the door. But she came back. Don Pancho, forgive me for speaking so. I, too, am sorrv that I do not like your church. . nd this time she went she did not return, but passed out the door. The San Juan was to sail at nine. Arecibo had no wharf, so the steamer lay out in the bay alx ut three-quarters of a mile from the shore. Boats were plying back and forth ; flatboats, carrying great sacks of sugar, were coming cut with their final loads ; little rowboats were busy bringing out passengers and taking back the friends of those about to sail ; now and then sailboats passed with merry pleasure parties. It was fast growing dark. From the upper deck La Americanita watched the scene. When it was near sailing time she saw the tall figure of Don Pancho coming toward her along the lighted deck. She went to meet him. I have come, he said, to say good-bye to you, senorita mia. If your honor should ever come back to the West Indies, you will find me waiting. If your honor never comes, then I shall always be waiting. Then, as the signal came for the non-passengers to leave the ship, he continued in his grave, dignified manner: Dios te guarde a ti ! mi alma! And she answered softly as she gave him her hand : . dios. Don Pancho. A few minutes later a small boat shot out from the blackness beside the ship headed shoreward. A ray of light from a porthole fell upon it for an instant. Don Pancho was standing erect in the little Ixxit, his head bare and his face turned toward the deck of the already-moving ship. Then the darkness swallowed him up once more. La Americanita remained on deck till they were far out at sea. Most of ihe passengers had gone to their statero inis.

Presently in the distance appeared the long rows of lights of some other passenger steamer. La AnK ' ricanita watched them as they drew nearer, ' hen the two ships were opposite, a long, hoarse whistle sounded from the San Juan, and faintly across the waters came the answering salute. La Amcricanita watched the lights till they passed out of sight, then roused herself and went silently to her stateroom.

The goal is forty yards away, Can he drop-kick so far? He smites the ball — it rises true — See ! It has crossed the bar. The game is done, the crowd goes wild. Loud laud they Crawford ' s name. No hero of Olympic days Received more s: ad acclaim. All through that day of glorious strife, Unheeded and unknown, An idol of the bygone days Had watched the game alone. Could it be that a poor ten years Had dimmed his one-time glory ? That all his deeds on this same field Were a forgotten story? How in the year of nineteen-six, When on that team he d played, Mctor}- succeeded victory. Goal after goal he ' d made. (ii6) This Crawford by a .siii,i;lc kick Had cliariiicd the fickle crowd. To-morrow still another name They ' ll ])raise with plaudits loud. Thus in the Halls of Football Fame There ' s room but for the few. Old heroes soon must .stand aside To make room for the new. And this in all life ' s gamesome ways The atlilete ' s sorry lot. To-day, bumped, bruised a little, praised — To-morrow he ' s forgot. Piper. ?

Isaac An- derson, D.D., and the Synod of Tennes- see, it has contributed eighty-seven years ' worthy service to the carrying out of the purpose of its founding. Thousands of its former students are scattered over the world. III. ITS PRESENT. The past year was its best. Its enroll- ment was 631, of whom 154 were col- legians. Maryville is an East Tennessee institution, and had 505 students from Tennessee ; it is a national institution, and had 126 students from twenty-eight other States and covmtries. IV. ITS PLANT. It has property of all kinds, amounting to $511,000. Ten buildings, including the new $35,000 Voorhees Chapel, water- works, sewerage, steam heat, electric lights, and bath rooms. V. ITS TEACHING FORCE Consists of twenty-five professors and instructors, representing fifteen different colleges and universities. VI. ITS COLLEGE CURRICULUM. It offers, as courses of study, ten groups of studies : Classical, Greek, Latin, English, Modern Languages, Chemistry.
