Waggoner There is perhaps no IMcKemJrco biudem cf die la- t iuaner of a century who does not look back with lo e and priue n] (.n TvIcKcndree ' s grand little niai ' .. Profes-or E. B. ' aggoner. He is the n)Ost t_vpica!l - McKendreean figin-e about McKendree ' s campus. His very presence carries an at- niospiitre that recalls all that is best in McKendreean tradi lion. First as a student and later as an in.-lructor, he drank in ihe McKendree spirit as he studied and taught side by side with such men as President Robert Allyn. Professor l eneen. Professor Suahlen. Professor Jones and other iesser lights of that golden age in IcKendree history. Xo McKendree stu- dent of recent years can look back upon his college life with- out pleasant thoughts of Professor ' aggoner, and he can- not think of Professor Waggoner without being concious of a soft spot in his heart for the old school of which the orofes- sor is a part, and for which he stands as a representative in so many ways. The high regard in which Pr fe.-.sor Waggoner is lieM bv his former students is such as to warrant the alloting of this space to a brief sketch of his career. He was born in God- frey, Illinois, in 1853. of Scotch and German ancestry. He wa gra-duated from McKedree College witli the degree of A. E. in 1S75. Later he was given the degree of . . M. by his alma mater. . s a student Professor ' aggoner made a fine rerori ' i in his classes, and was popular with his fellow-students. His nresent-dav a fter dinner speeches on siich occasiiius as reuni- on? of his literarv societv and the alumni associations, are the delight of the college C ' mmunity, and he is especiallv delight- ful when talking of his college days in McKendree. After leaving McKendree, Professor ' aggoner atten- ded various normal schools and specialized in the studv of the sciences in order to further prepare himself for his chosen profession, that of a teacher. He taught several years in the public scholls of Illinois, and in i.SSi was made an instructor in McKendree College. ' ith the exception of one year spent as professor in Southwest College, Winiield. Kansas his ser- vice at IcKendree has been continuous. He has been brought into close touch with the students not onl - as teacher of science, but also in his capacitv as fiscal agent. Those who went to Sundav School also will remember him as .Simday School Superintendent, a i osition in the Lebanon Methodist Church which he has held for twenty-four years. Professor Waggoner has been twice married. His first wife was [iss Ella L. Sargent, a graduate of . [cKendree. His present wife was Miss Ella yi. Cowen. C)ne of Professor Waggoner ' s children has alreadv completed the course at McKendree. and t vo arc now students. As a teacher Professor aggoncr is widely and favor- ablv known. For many years he has been a popular instructor at various teachers ' institutes. His skill as an instructor is attested bv all his former students, one oi whom, who left icKcndree fifteen years ago, recently wr.Me, Frofesssor Waggoner is the best teacher I ever had, and I believe he is the best teacher in the world.

Wl ig School; and at Cummoi Northwestern Universit Expression Department The Department of expression in McKendree Collet;e was ippened m the Autunm of the year ;yog. with Miss Rhiiila Jjrockmaii, of East St Louis, as instructor. Five pupils enrol- led at the beginning; of the term. Earh in the year Tgio the iiist recital, consisting- of six readings, was sjiven. At the end of the year twenty-one students were enrolled. The depart- ment is now in the third year. The members of the first class graduated were: Harriet E. Carlin, Lebanon; Alice E. Loy, Lebanon; Irma Day Otwell, Plainview ; Ethel Stephen- son. Marion ; and Stenna Harmon, Lebanon, liss Brcckman was succeeded by Mrs. A. C. Bancroft. The jjresent mstructor is Miss Marian McCray, of the Cimnock .School of Oratf r . Xorth western L ' niversity. The course in expression covers three ' .ars. It aiuis to prepare the student for reading, pubb ' c speaking, teachina;, ap- preciating good literature. Man ' s first dutv is to develop self. The department aims to help the student in this re,;ard. that he may not rush into life unpreparrd. pairthenuore the pur- pose of this course is not only to teach students to enter- tain, but also to interpret life. The emotions, the luind, the voice, and the body are developed. This training is beljifnl in €very day life, since it gives a pleasing conversational voice ability to speak with ease in public, self-nossession. The w ork of the department includes : Ci- rrect method of breathing, to proiluce openness: freedom, and purity of tone; voice placing; overcoming of nasality and other defect.i. Monologue, description, impersonation , dramatic and epic narration, dialects, humor, pathos, are mastered. Pronuncia- tion and eiuinciation, extemporaneous speaking, Bible and hynm reading, and orations are taught. The individuality of each student is fostered and streughtened. Xumerous recitals give the student op]X)rtunity to appear before the public. To all wlio have attended public speaking contests, ex- liibitious, and debates before and since the de])artnient of pression was organized, it is known that a er marked ])rovement has been made in all these |ierlorniances and largest if not the sole contributing factor is the departiuent of expression. IMiss McCray is giving universal satisfaction. Her training at perhaps the verv best school of oratory in the coun- tr ' has given her a particular fitness for building up the ex- pression department in a school like McKenilree where have been trained not a few of the most succe.- ' Sfu! men and women m public life today.

I McKendree ha ill t rea-un to 1k ' prciud of her I.iterar Societies. Many men anil wmnen in pnl)lic life today owe their training to these societies. Since their organizatiorc there iia e been about 5.000 members, more than half of whom are still living. There are three societies : Clionian, Plalonian, and Philosophian. the Clionian for ladies ; which hold weekly ses- sions. Once each niondi there is held in each society an open session to wdiich the public is invited. The societies are under the exclusive C ' .intml of the students belonging to them, sub- ject to certain regulations of the iioard of Trustees and the tacultv. Xo])ers(Mi is permitted to become a u ' embcr of any of these societes until lie has regularly r iatriculatcd with the President of the College, or identified liimstlf «ith one or more of its departments. Regular requirenient- are made up- on the membership in the form of essay writing, deiiate, de- clamation, oratory, and parliamentar} ' practice. All these pro- ceedings are conducted in accordance with parliamentary usage, and the generous and spirited riNalrv to excell each other and win public favor proves a most wbolescme simu- lus in Ijringing out the latent faculties of all conr.ected there- with. The college recommends that all student- identifv them- selves with one of these societies. Platonian Literary 1849- 1913 Society The Platonian Literary S ' V-ictx was founded on tlu ' night of Ajjril 2r. 1849 It was founded hv sixteen young men of McKendree College who felt indisposed to take u|. their abode with the Philos. This indisposition was probably due to the timidity of the AOuns;- men, probably to the over- crowded condition of the Pliilos, or probably to the inspire.! foresight of the nolile work thai has been so well done bv tl ' e Society. Whatever the cause of its foundation the Platonian Literary Society has accomplished a work in the world ihat stands without an equal. With a deep feeling of gratitude and reverence I h.cre submit the names .of the si. teen genrlemen wlio began such a noble institution: Charles W. Jerome. St. Louis, lo. : David W. Bryant, Waterloo, III. : ( leorge W Caldwell. Franklin. 111. : Joseph W. Drurv Waterloo, 111. : Henry C. Fike, Mascou- tah, 111.: Thomas C). Springer, Edwardsville. 111.: Alon o Thompson, High Prairie, 111.: Ale.xandcr an Winkle. Frank- lin, III. : Thomas S. Casey, Mt. Vernon, 111. ; William Chance. W aterloo. 111. ; Isaac B. jack, Xashville, 111. ; I Iichael Mum- mert, Waterloo, 111. : James H. Riggin, Lebanon, 111. ; William Schwartz, DuOoin, III.: William M. T. Springer, Edwards- ville, 111, : and ' ' illiam K. Thomas, Belleville. Ilk All of these gentlemen, except Bryant, Fike, Jerome, and ' an ' inkk, haye gone to explore the mysteries of an unseen world. The Platonian Literary Society was conceived an.l born amid opposition, for it at once became the only competi- tive opponent of a like organization, which had for years been the monarch of all it surveyed , but Plato has run her race for three score and four years without a handicap. She h?. ■done her work well. About 1700 men have walked Wi.--dom ' s Way and have enjoyed its beneiits. Today over one thousand of Plato ' s sons are scattered throughout the worl.l and are to be found filling places of responsibility and trust in every honorable avocation of life. Platos are to be found at the top of every profession and in every legitimate business. Space forbids us to make mention of all lier son here ! but in the various avoca- tions of life we will find the following: A. C. Bernays, world- wide physician and surgeon : Nelson S. Cobleigh, an eminent journalist; Gen. J. H. ' ilson. who was .second in command of the American torces during the Boxer uprising: Hon. J. A. Halderman, first L . S. Minister to Siam : C. P. Johnston. Ex- Governor of Missouri, and reputed to be the greatest crimin- al lawyer west of the .Mleghanies ■ Wesley Merritt, Majov- General C. S. A., and a host of others who are famous in state, national, and world-wide affairs, it is not an idle boast to .say that Platos have invaded nearly every position of merit and gained every distinction of honor.. - t p resent the Society is in a splendid condition. She has an active membership of about a half hundred. The Platos play an active part in the present life of McKendree. Plato still arouses noble aspirations. She still moulds voung lives. She takes boys — diamonds in the rough — and trans- forms them into capable men who render service t ' l the world on the farm, in politics, at the bar, in the ministr . and in every other walk of life. Plato ' s door is open to the honest, sincere voung man, wdio W ' ishes to avail himself of her benefits. With her glor- ious past, bright present, and brilliant prospects for the fu- ture we sa , I ' lat. ' S may come and go: Inu Plato will go on forever. ' Philosophian Literary Society 1837-1913 The Philosopliiaii Literary Sni- iely has the li tiiicti.in of being tlie oldest hterary org-aiiization west of the AUc- ghenies. It has a protid record of seventy-six years, haviiie;- been organized January lo, iSjij. In 1840. twelve ears alter the foiuidmg of the soceity, rhilo ' s representation in the Hiinrjis Legislature began with the election of the late Edwanl Abend of Belleville. From that time on Philo has had its representative in every session, excepting.two. of the General Assemhlies of Illinois. Since 1857, the society has been co-itinuously represented on the Circuit Bench of Illinois, and there lias Ijeen Ijut one session of Congress since 1863 that has been withou ' . its Philo mem- ber or members in either the Senate iir House of Representa- tive. Hon Charles S. Zane. who. as Chief Justice of Utali. handed down the first decisions which sounded the death knell of polyganny, was a Philo. lion. George W. Smith, who re- cently died at his home in Murphysboro, and who is said to b.ave had the record of the longest continuous service of all Illinois representatives to Congress ; Hon. John Baker, mem- ber of Congress from Illinois, and Minister to ' enezuela: Brig- General Jessie H. loore, memlier of Congress and Consul General to Peru ; Hon. nl. A. J. Sparks, former ■Commissioner of the General Land Office: Hon. FUuford ' il- svn, fnrmerly L ' nited States Di?trii-t Attorney from the South- ern District of Illinois, and afterward Solicitor of the Uni- ted States Treasury, are among the distinguished men on the roster of Philo. Among the men who are now or have been recently high in the Councils of State are : Judge ' m. M. Farmer, Senator L. V Sherman, Hon. Walter ,S. Landen. Ex- Governor Deneen, Hon. George ' . ' all. Among our men prominent in other fields are several of the greatest editors of the ' est. Chief of these was John Locke Scripps, one of the founders of the Chicago Tribune, and originator of the famous Scripiis-? IcRae League. Mr. Scripps did more to give tone and character to the Chicago Press and to elevate its standards than any other man connec- ted with the early or middle period of Chicago news-paper- dom. A ' m. E. Hyde, formerly editor of the St. Louis Repub- lic, and Isaac N. Higgins at one time editor of the San Fran- cisco Call are also among our proiuinent representatives in the newspaper licld. Philos have served as College Presidents and profes- ors. Illinois, Missouri, and Florida have Iiad tlieir State .Sup- erintendent of Public Instruction from the rank; of Philo. There are Philo merchants, lawyers, ministers, bankers, phv- sicions. I c .Si c :U p.i=iu:fi ' Piano Department Prof. Frank 2d. Church came to McKendree Conserva- tory four years ago, after two years of study in Paris. Before going abroad he spent four full years in the OterUn Conser- vatory and two more in the New England Conservatory, Bos- PKOF. ? ' RANK II. CHURCH ton where he was graduated in June iijoo. As an organist he has had varied experience in many parts of the country. He is somewhat of a traveler having been in Africa, Mexico, Eng- land, Germany. Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Nova Sco- tia, British Columbia, Quebec, from .Maine to Florida, and from San Diego to Vancouver up the Pacific Coast. He is emi- nently successful as a piano teacher as pupils in many states can testify as his work in McKendree has shown. He has a wonderful ear for music. By careful practice and earnest study he has developed a splendid memory. He believes with Men- delssohn that the best in music is only just good enough. He is acquainted with the best books on music and has heard all the great artists. He is fully equipped with technic experience and ability to build a splendid school of music, and that is what he is doing here. A glance at the long list of recitals given since he came is sufficient evidence Pupils of all ages take part with equal success. He believes that it never is a loss of time to take time to do a thing well, and that good practice is never lost. Hence his success as a teacher and player. The McKendree Conservatory now offers splendid courses in the study of music. Its work is being watched with intense interest. The course requires six terms of harmony, five terms each of counterpoint and ear training, three of history of music and ensemble playing with frequent appearances on recital programs to obtain a Teacher ' s Certificate. A recital is also required of those receiving Diplomas. Two recitals have been given by all graduates receiving Diplomas in Piano this year. This list of Diploma graduates includes r Iisses Eathel and Ethel Morgan, launie ; and Fern Shafer. Carlyle. Those receiving ' J ' eachers ' Certificates this year are Misses Amv Tur- ner and layme Griffith, Brownstown. and Ruth Kittle, New- ton. From the list of students it is evident than the school is drawing from nearly all parts of the state. Those who have appeared on recitals as pianists this vear are : Misses Ruth Pag Clionian Literary Society 1869- 1913 In the fall of 1869 ladies were admitted to McKendree College, Those attending the first term, feeling the need of some special means of cnltiire determined to attempt the for- mation of a literary society. After some preliminary steps had been taken the society was formed December 6, 1S69, imder the name of the Clionian Literary Society, with the following persons as charter members : iNlisses Edith Flint. Carrie Thrall. Jennie Roberts. Kate Parker. Maggie (jilbert. Addie. Georgia and Hattie Floyd. Pet Hypes. Xellie Raymond. El- vira Robinson. Nettie Ross. Martha Toney, -Mice N ' aleiitim- and Jennie Thatcher. Of these charter members, only fonr are living; Mes- ilanies Carrie Thrall Campbell. Jennie Roberts iverr. Alice ' v alentine Edwards. Jennie Thacher McBride. Mrs. Etlitn Flint Thrall had the honor of being the first President. A con ititution and by-laws were drawn up which with fev, ' exceptions still govern the Society. Ilie initiation fee at that time was .Si. 00 but later was changed to $3.00. The first motto was Jure Diviu ' s. ' but was soon changed to ' A ' irtutc et Lahore, our present motto. CHir pin is a gold arrow cros- sed by a scroll on which is engraved the societ - motto. It was first made in silver, larger than at present, but was afterwarfis made in gold. Clio Hall has also seen many changes. It was at tliat time only the eastern half of the present hall, the floor was covered with hemp matting, the room was warmed by a large old fashioned heating stove, and lighted with oil lamps. But in later years it was enlarged ami now has modern furnish- ings, including a piano which was purchased recently. The first public exhibition was given May 6, 1870. Since then two public exhibitions are given annually. The program consists of music, orations and re;i dings. The Clio Quartette of this year is composed of: Miss Bertha Webb.First Soprano ; Miss F.athel Morgan, Second Soprano: liss Agnes Hill, First Alto; Miss Mary Ball, Sec- ond Alto. The Clio of today is composed uf fifty-two enthu- siastic members, who are determined to make this the uost successful year of her history. Clio is a literary society, but it is also much more than that. It provides a wholesome social life for the girls, and teaches them clear and concise expression of thought. 1- a s e :i8 Vocal Department Miss Lalhcliiepell Myrick, McKeinlreo instructor in vocal music for tiie last tlirce _vear , s unu.sually well equipped both by nature and training for the position.

Summerfld Domestic Science Department In the three years since it was openetl in the fall of lyio the Domestic Science department lias grown into one of the best equipped and most important branches of the institu- tion. The real grijwth of the deparrment betrnn when the Joint Board at its session in June lyi i voted to the depart- ment the three ground floor rooms of Pearson Hall. Air. T. A. Wilson agreed to raise sufficient funds to equi] the new home ' whicii af remodled according to plans submitted by Miss X ' illa Sprague. head of the departmnet. In September 1911, the furnishing and equipping of a combinefl sewing and class room, a dining-room and adjoining pantrw a f ' ji«I and cooking laboratory were completed,. MISS VILLA SPRAGUE Tlie first vj ar sewmg and house construction and deco- ration were taught with difliculty as a much needed libraiy and equipment were lacking but September 1911 began a new epoch for the work. The newly prepared department rooms gave opportunity for e.xtending the work and the strengthen- ed science department gave support. In September 1912, a gasoline gas plant and a microscope for the domestic science and agriculture departments added greatly lo their assets and and the installation of an art department gave more support to the house decoration and dress designing work. The de- partment now ranks second to none of the minor colleges of Illinois and the middle west. The enrollment has increase:! lr(.im 29 the first year to 48 at the present time. Six students have been graduated and all expect to teach the work. Each lune an exhibition of worK has been given and minor exhibi- tions, sales and social afifairs during the year have proved very interesting and ll ' .e deparmenis have become a factor in all phases of the colle,ge life. A two year certificate and a four year degree course are offered. The course is planned to give such instruction in Domestic Science and art as seems an important part of the general education of every young v.-oinan and aims, by the teaching and practicing of principles, to develop resources and ability and to inspire an interest in the home. Cooking, including a thorough study of foods, their se- lecliiin. preparation, jjreservation and service; dietetics, a study of diet in health and disease and under all conditions of work ; sewing and careful stud} ' of materials from production to consumption, with special attention to the question of dtess ; the architecture, sanitation, decoration, furnishing and care of the house: history of the H ime Economics movement and a course for teachers make up Driefx the outline of ivork follow- ed. Related work in the literary anil science department is re- quired and also high -cliriol or equivalent credits frir comple- lion of the course. The plan for future work is to intensify that already given and k-eej) it U]) to date m every way. Xew books have been added each year to the library and the best magazines are used largely for reference reading. r Iiss X ' illa Sprague, head of the deparrnient, received her professional training at the I ' niversity of Illinois. She re- ceived the dregree of Bachelor of - rts from the latter institu- tion in 1910. Her preparation work wa.- d-me in the bolet Township High School. Miss Sprague came to .McKen.lree from Jacksiin ille. Illinois, where she held the position of dietctian at I ' a-savani Hospital.

NEW Agricultural Department This new department of McKeii.lree College was added durint, ' the fall of igii. At that time we were without equip- ment or funds but had friends and a firm conviction that there was a real demand for Agriculture in McKendree College. The results for the first two years have proved this to be true. Through the untiring effort of Prof. F. C. Grannis and others, during the ear lC)li-iy 2. a great deal of money was raised for the deparliuent and many gifts other than money were secured. A fine modern chemical laboratory was equipped largely through the generosity of Ex-Crovernor Charles S. De- neen. During the winter- a two weeks SliLirt Course was held which pro ed to be so popular that it was vested to make it an annual affair. About lOO students attended one or more of the sessions. During this first vear there were quite a large num- ber of students who took the work in Agriculture for one of the terms and some few who specialized in the work. The opening of the present year found us lietter equip- ped than ever with strong probability o! a hea ier enrollnienc. An additional instructor. George R. Xew. has been added ' o the teaching force to take charge of the dairy and animal hus- bandry work. This, together with the soils and crop work, has made possible a broad and well balanced course. The present ear has been a very successful one and sixty-five students have taken work in .Agriculture alone, for one ' or more terms while more than a hundred, have been en- rolled counting the allied sciences. The second siiccessful short c-:iurse was h.elii during the fall with several instructors here from the state univer itv. PRF.SEXT IXSIRI ' rOKS Prof. }■ ' . C. Grannis resigned near the close of the fall term to take up work in the .Agriculture College at .Ames, Iowa. He was succeeiled by Prof. G. .A. Crosthwait who com- menced work at the beginning of the second term. Prof. Crosthwait is a man of matured years, with broad experience and thorough training. He is a graduate of Phnois I ' niversity an l has had considerable experience as a teacher in public schools- in county Agricidlural school work and as an experiment station worker. He- is thoroughly practical having had considerable experience and is running a small farm of his own on scientific principles at the present time. IcKendree mav consider herself fortunate in having such a man as head of the Agricultural department. Associated with Prof. Crosthwait in Agriculture is George R. Xew. of Kmporia. Kans. I ' rof. Xew has recently iniished work in Illinois Cniversity and Kansas State Xor- mal College. His work here has demonstrated that he is an able teacher and thoroughly prepared for the work which he is called to do. .At the present time Proi. Xew is handling part of the science work. SCOPE OP H ' ORK. We aim to fill two needs: nr t- to furnish thoroughly prepared and equipped men for teachers or for .Agricultural positions of trust, or for successful work upon the farms. Second, we offer to farmer hoys with little schooling a chance to come in and get some practical work that their practice on. the farm mav be more successful To this end we have planned a two years course leail- ing to diploma and a four years course leading to B. S. de- gree in Agriculture. Both of the-e courses presuppose a high school education or its equivalent. At the same time there are certain courses open to special students who have not the fun- damental education or who do not care for the degree oi diploma. In these courses we have had. and hope ro have a great many more farm boys ' l ' lO will come in for one, two, or tliree terms and who will then return to the farm vith higher ideals and better ideas of how to farm ceonomically and sricntihcolly. E0U1PME ' T .IXD WORK We are constantly a ldin 4 to onr eqnipnient. This year ihnin,c:h the efforts of T. A, Wilson v. ' e have our ov-ui ga pant to furnish gas for the laboratory. Through other gitts we have added a new science demonstration table, compnund misroscope, and have for use incubators, model silos and nthe things. Practical work is done where possiiile and it mav be another year we shall have our own farm. We rercivr: nun-,- erous samples of milk from farmers to be tested, advise feed- ing rations, analyze soils an l have made the department oi veal use to farmers as well as students. One of the State Ex- periment fields is located here and is availalile for our work. Our graduates are in great demand and get good positions. OPISIOSS OF OTHERS Dr. Cyril G. Ibjpkins of the l ' ni ' crsity. of Illinois who was with us last fall said he would rather have a boy of his spend the first two years at iNTcTCen.lree than at the L niver- sitv, because the instruction here would be better. Of course, students come in close contaet with the instructors here. !Mr. H. £. Young oi the Farmers ' Review was aston- ished that so nnich could be accomplished in so short a time, and complimented us upon the work achieved and organiza- tion of the department.

SEABROOK It ha liecn m - prixelcgc to put into the .Mclvendrfc College tliis year the fuundation for an .Vrt Department, aivl liaving tried to place it on good strong first principles of ?rt training, I sincerely hope it shall grow to be a great blessing to the college, and the community, in s.) nuich. as it shall give a clearer vision, for the wonderful beauty surroimdmg us; made by an all ruling God. and drawing us closer each day to the Creator of all things. The enrollment has beer, goo.l this ear. but far more to be proud of. is the strong work done by each student and the influence an each life as a balance for the conventional .side of life of the refinement of such an appreciation of the beautiful. To be aide to look and see with a trained eye. and an understanding intellect the objects we see about us. Ve ha e offered a course in drawing and painting in all mediums, china, leather, metal and pottcrv. pen and ink, lettering, illus- trations, etc., and have a fine start for erjuipment in some 24. good casts. e have also had a juvenile department, believing we cannot begin this training to early in life. Two classes which correlate with Domestic Science and I ' otany ha e also been held. From a practical, industrial standpoint, I hardly know of a career in which drawing wouldn ' t Ije useful, if not ab- solutely necessary, for the vcrv simj.le reason that it teaches one to see correctly, to rcmcndier w liat one has seen, and to give form tt thought.

M. Athletic Director Born Kldorado. Ill,, May 14, isyi ' . Was graduated from McKendree College 1911, Received scliolar- Pliip to Illinois h. 1911-1912, Di- rector of Athletics in JIcKendroe College 1912. not only piU out the best teams on the court, track and dia- mond but have based athletics on a good foundation as to finances and management, the latter success we give credit to L, V, Smith who thru his untiring efforts interested those who had authority to establish the Mctvendree Athletic Asso- ciation, Just this year w-e were admitted into the lea,gue of minor colleges of the state by a unanimous vote of every col- lege in the league. This consequently places us in a position of recognition which is state-wide in its scope. Previous to the year 190(1. .McKendree had no recog- nized department of athletics. The students conducted their own athletic work under the supervision of a faculty mem- iier. They had various teams but the chief sport at that time was football. The history of athletic activities before 1906 is given in detail in the Pigskin and need not be repeated here. It was in the fall of 1906 that the athletic depanment of McKendree College was organized and a Director was chosen w ' ho was to devote his entire time to this Vi ' ork, The man selected was Professor I ' .. E. Wiggins of the University of Pennsylvania, who had had several years of successful ex- perience in athletic work before coming here. Professor ' iggins was an expert in his field and he showed his ability bv establishing a department in a short time w-hich compared favorably with almost any of the minor col- leges. During his first two vears. McKendree was not allow- ed to compete in intercollegiate athletics, but by his imtiring efforts in arranging society and class teams he aroused the athletic spirit of the school and when intercollegiate compe- tition was again permissible, in 1908. McKendree had a well- trained group of men capable of making a creditable showing. During the time m which there was no inter-institu- tional competition, basketball was the leading sport. Society teams were organized the first vear and Plato won the cham- pionship. The members of the winning team were : Wood, Dee, PfefTer, Miller, Massey with Cummins, Sayre and Far- mer, subs. In 1907, the following year, it was thouglit liest to discontinue the society teams and independent teams were selected. They were the Romans, who won the championship, the iNIeteors, the Trojans, and Greeks, whose place was later taken by the Rovers. The line-up of the Roman- was G. C. Gentry. Warren, R. Pfeffer. ' . Shick. E. Sa re and C. Farth- ing. Professor Wiggins also held an annual Track and Field Day for the students only in which medals were award- ed to the three highest point winners in igoCt were C. . . Ea ' - on, F. Howard. G. C. Gentrv: in 1907 the medals were won by R. Miller, F. Howard, and E. R. Sayre. As stated above, intercollesiate teams were again al- lowed in 1908 and as a result the athletic interest in the school increased in leaps and boimds. A basket ball team was put into the field for the first time in AlcKenree ' s history. The team was captained by Froggie Pfeffer with Philips, ' ar- ren, Burguard, and Shick as team-mates and Large, G. Gen- try and E. Sayre as substitutes. A very good showing was made considering that it was their first year of competition. About fifty per cent of the games vere won and the chanc- es for a winning team the next } ' ear were very bright. Some of the players failed to return, however, and the team in 1909-10 was composed of new men with one exception. Philips the captain was an experienced pla er. The others on the team were C. Gentry, E. Sayre, O. Walters. Andrews and Massev. Onlv mediocre success «as had that year and it was not until the following year that McKendree began putting •out the winning teams that she has had for three vears. The addition of new material made possible the selection of a well- balanced team. The team Iiad an average of .8. 3. The play- ers were Stokes. C. Gentry, captain. Eicher. Ebbler, Beedle and Isaacs. At the opening of school the next fall, all. of the piaytrs were back except Cientry and Eicher. whose places were filled bv Boots illi and Isaacs. This is the combina- tion which has made -ij pk-n lid a record in i ' jii-i2 and 1912-13 when their average?- were . and .875 respectiveh-. Baseball was confined to games among our own students until the spring of 1910 wlien a few games were played. The team was composed of L. Walters, Murdock, R. Pfeft ' er, E. Sa re, LeCrone, C. Gentry, O. Walters, G. Gentry and R. Sayre. The team in 1911 included the following: LeCrone, captain, Trousdale. Rode, Peters. Endicott, Kershaw Beedle, Wilton, Campbell, and Gentry. A short schedule was played but the season was unsuccessful. It was during this year that Flypes ' Field was made ready for use. In 1912 a longer schedule was played and the team picked from the following; flill. captain: ' ilii. Gibson. Graham. Cummin-. Schuwork. Endicott. Peters. McHugh and Wilton. Base ball has not been a leading sport at McKendree. but the establishment of an Athletic .- ssociation through the efforts of Dad Sn ' ith, and put our finances on a firm basis, and an eft ' ort is being made this year to get a start. In a year or two our liase ball team may be counted on to win just as regularly as the basket ball five. Track and Field sport have always been the be-t class at McKendree. In the last three vears several meets have been held and never have we been defeated in a dual meet. A list of our best performers would include men like LeCrone. Rav. Beedle. St.jkes. Smith, Morgan, Campbell. ' il!i. McHugh an.l Moore. ' ater sports ha e been confined to competition an ' ong the students themselves. ' aler polo teams have been or- ganized and the aquatic events have been keenly contested. Tennis has had nuicli recognition bv our students and several good tennis players have been de eloped. It was not until last year, however, that inter-institutional matches were arranged. Wrestling has been taught at various times lint it has been only among- local followers. Medals were awarded in 1911 by the Director to ' . R. Spragg. the heavy-weight champion and to C. H. Dickman. the light-weight champion. H K | Hh !

P a 2: e 05 Athletics 1912-13 BASKET BALL McKenclree ' s leading- sport is basket ball and for tl;e last five years a team has been in the field which has made an enviable record. When the call was made for basket ball can- didates last fall, every one of the members of the winnini - team of 1911-1912 reported for work. The}- were ISeedle. this year ' s captain, Stokes, last year ' s captain. Willi, Isa.- s and Eblei. The selection of the team was consequentlv an easy matter. . ' -Several new men reported and soiii-j .- f last gear ' s scrubs tried hard for the team, ln.it the lii;e-np v .nld have remained unchanged had it not liecn for sccr.il nnsliaii- to the re.tjulars. I ' .iU r.oeille, the cai.taiu, is an athlete known to ail ] IcKendrceans and to m?n - of his opponents for his atliletio prowess. His sjiced, floor work, and scoring abilitv make hiri an important part of the ofifense as well as the defense. Stokes, center, who has been high scorer for the last three years was unfortunate in receivnig a severe injurv which kept him out of the early games. He had played but one game when he was again forced to leave the team be- cause of another accident. He recovered sufificiently to get in- to the last few games and was just regaining his igi2 form when the season closed. His graduation will leave a vacancv which will be hard to fill. Tommy Ralph Isaacs has held down the position at right forward for the last two years and has made his pre- sence felt in every game because of his re-markable eye for the ' Dasket. During Stokes ' absence he was the mainstay of the offense, and it is a great blow to the team to lose two such men in one year. lliiiits ' illi. the other forward, is the most spectacu- lar ])laycr that has ever tos,-ed a ball here. He is a miilget, barelv five feet high, but his sneeri. nimbleness. aiifl aliilitv to follow the ball have made him invaluable as a player. He i-arely makes many points in a game but his floor work en- ables Stokes and Isaacs to roll up their high scores. Ebler was a wonderful guard last year but he has im- jirc ' ved this year. His ability to watch tw-o or three men at ..nee and get the ball c iit of the crowd make it possible for the other members to devote their attention to the attack. This was largely responsible for the high scores made in some of the games. His headwork in noting the style of offense of die other team w-as excellent and lie was quick to take advan- tage of it. Harmon. Smiley and Loy form a trio of substitutes, A -hose speed and floor .vork have been seldom equaled at Mc- Kendree. Graham was an excellent guard and would have ]irobably have broken in on the team had we not been so well lortificcl of that position. These nine players were awarded ' )asket ball Ms . The pospects for 1913-1914 are very bright. Our ad- mission into the Illinois Intercollegiate . thlelic Association ■i ill insure a good schedule and participation in the state tournament.

BASE BALL Base ball ha? never had nntil this year sufficient hnan- cial support to make it successful. A strong schedule Im- been arranged and it is hoped that the team may make a goo ' . showing. Much of the success of the team depends upon the development of a reliable pitcher. The line-up of the team cannot be definitelv determined at the present time but it will be chosen from the following: Gibson, captain, ' illi, Heilii;- cnstein, Graham. Peters, Whittenberg, Caldwell. Pigott Wil- ton, Endicott, Pfeffer, Schuwerk, Campbell and J. AI. H.ir- mon. Tl-.e schedule is as follows : April Ifl. Carlyle at .Lebanon. April 2iJ, C. B. C. at Lebanon. May 3. Belleiille Com.

TRACK AXD FIELD ATHLETICS AIcKendree has always had good track teams and thi . year will probably be no exception. Three meets have been arranged. The most important is of course, the state meet at Peoria in which it is hoped that our athletes may win several points. The addition of new material iias helped considerably but the decision of Stokes to quit the cinder path will leave a wide gap. The team will probably be selected from the following: Willi, captain , P.eedle, Campbell, ,Smt!ey, Moore, Caldwell. Whittenberg, and ' loldman. Several others are trying for the team but their ability is unknown at the jiresent writing. r£. ; 7.?

THE PROHIBITIOX LEAGUE The Prohibition League is the remnant of the . etb- olia League of Acient Greece. For 2000 vears this League lay buried in the perils of revolutions and wreckages of wars. It was resurrected to its present form in the latter part of the ninteenth century. The Ancient League was composed of the half civilized tribes of the mountain regions of Central Greece. The present League differs from the earlv League in that, it is composed of all the bottle holders of both the mountains and plains of Xorth America. This League has chosen for its emblem a quart bottle: its motto is Personal Freedom: and its watch word war cry is Liberty. License and Booze.

A Song of McKendree On a hill-top in the torest In the Jlississiiipi Valley Near that great and mighty rivei ' Near the Father of Waters, 1 ' here they built for us a college. There tliey made a school of learnins, There, a home lor truth and wisdom And thev builded for our glory. Once tlie Redmen owned tliis region, When they pitched theii- tents upon it Wlien they wandered o ' er its hill-sides. With their bows and arrows hnuting: hen the deer roamed in the torest. And the turkeys in the woodland: ' hen tlie wolves howled in liie gloainiiis And th.- pantliers screamed at midnight. i.eain tlie story of the raindrop. And the language of the flowers; Know llie nature of each creature. On the land and in the ocean. Watch the stars that shine from heavea Learn to follow in their circuits, Hear the singing of fair maidens. And their music in the morning To the east a verdant prairie, To the south a little city. To the west a silver streamlet And a graveyard to tlie nortliward — Where the dead of y ' car.-: uit sleeping Waiting for that Glorious j;ornii¥ For the sounding of tlie Trumpet, And tlie call to life Eternal. Four score years and five ha e vanislied. Since they built McKendree College — 1 ike a guide set in the desert. Like a beacon on the ocean. Ere the virgin soil was furrowed. Or the trees hewn down by word-m Or the passing liighwayy oiiened ; Then lliey built .McKendiee College. How we love McKendree College, With its campus full of shade trees; Oak and Ash and Elm and Walnut Locust, Cedar, Pine and Maple — Here the lovers gentle wander When the light of day is dying. And they hear the south-wind wooing. Mingled with their fond caresses. Just beyond the silent graveyard — Wiiere a rich man built a mansion — There are springs of gushing water. Flowing water full of sulphur. There are wheat-fields all about us; There are fields of corn and clover; Cattle feeding in the meadows, For the land is lent to frrniing. Come and live a season with u s. Learn the wisdom of the ages. Learn the tongues of acient nations. And their hidden arts and secrets. Lcain how kingdoms rose and conquered And how empires waned and crumbled; I-earn how unkno.vn worlds were opened. -And how heroes came to grertne.ss. O, ye students of McKendree! O. ye strong youths and fair maidens! Live for all that ' s true and noble. Keep unstrained McKendree ' s banner. Fields untrodden lie before you, Heights unclimbed look before you. For the voice of all Creation Calls you to the paths of Duty. The Professional College Boy That the prolessiona! hoy is coming to tlie front ra- pidly there is no question. The purpose of this little lesson is to put the outwar.l and visible signs of higher thought within the reach of the high class. The inward signs count for little, as they can- not l)e depended upcjn. The ' are like the chici;en-pox and measles — you cannot tell which it is until the doctor arrives. No industry on earth offers such tempting opportunities as that of the Professional College Boy. The ivork is light and the pay or rather the remittances from papa are constant. The studies are the lightest and there are no examina- tions. To begin colle je . ' irst procure a good suit of cb ' lne- which will be the hall mark of your position of life. The shoulders should be three times the width of the waist and nui,-.t cast a shadow like the top of the letter ' ' T. Don ' t let the mere trifle of being pro ided by nature Avith narrow shoulders worry you. for the tailor carries cii- lege shoulders in stock. The trousers should be of that vague general sort which are profanelv descrilicil as the coming and go ' .ng varietv. The hair must be long :ini[ should .grow m a dispiritei sort of style in tlie back, nearly cover the ears and in front should be combed into the eves. Gel a linky little cane, a bull -dog ],ine and the smal- lest cap that can be procured in th.e college colors. These three items are especiallv necessary. The only study absolutel) ' necessar_ - is to perfect yourself in college yells. Procure the little volume Hinds anil Xobie. the bes; and latest comiiendinm of animal husbandrv ever ] ublished. If a facultv member should come to an athletic meet, don ' t scare the poor fellow by staring at him. Read all the late botiks of jokes and tbe spcrting sheet.T of the daily pa])ers. If the Professional CiiUeg.- 1 ' .. ;v W u!d carefully follow this lessim it wrmld l.)e unnece arv for the college to include a surgical ward where ideas ma ' forcibiv be inserted into the head.
