Wie have tried faithfully to make it a reproduction of the life of old Miami of 1907-'08, The volume is the product of co-operation of labor of a large number of students. About twenty-five have made drawings for it and numerous are the contributors in other departments. The calendar editor suf- fered the misfortune of having some of her manuscript destroyed in the Hepburn llah Hre. ' VVe bequeath to the next Recensio Board the task of improving on our shortcomings and producing, a better volume than this. Wfe are grateful to Dr. Benton for the many forms of aid he has given to us, and to the Champlin Publishing Company for their many courtesies. Sincerely we appreciate the aid given by individual students who have helped in the. making of this annual. May it give you food for thought, and many opportunities for smiles, and in later years may it be a rich reminder of your days spent in our beloved univer- sity-Old' lxtiami. , x' p nw. - y is I .,...

Special courses will be given in commercial Spanish and practical conversation, for those who wish to fit themselves for positions in Spanish-speaking countries. The department is planning to offer also a course in Latin-American affairs, a study of the institu- tions. government, life and future of the Central and South American Republicsf, Department of School Administration HARVEY C. NTINNICH, D. Ped., Dean of O. S. N. C. and Professor, IDFA. Dean Minnich received his A. M. degree from O. N. University, and for some time was a student at Harvard. The University of Maine conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy. He holds a High School Life Certificate for teaching in the State of Ohio. At present he holds membership in the National Educational Association, Harvard Teachers' Association, Na- tional Society for the Scientific Study of Education, Society of College Teachers and the Ohio State Teachers' Association. His administrative duties as Dean are well executed, and under his administration the O. S. N. C. has made a steady and constant growth in all departments. a It is the aim of the department to prepare elementary and secondary teach- ers. The work in School Organization and Management discusses the arrange- ment of, value of and presentation of the materials in the upper grades of the elementary schools. The problems of discipline and the relation of teacher to superintendent and vice versa are also included. In his work in School Systems, the systems of France, Germany, England and U. S. A. are studied. School legislation, electric system, curricula, specialization, etc., are some of the prob- lems discussed. Department of Education SAMUEL CHESTER PARKER, M. A., Professor, BAE. Professor Parker received his B. A. from Cincinnati University and his M. A. from Columbia. He also did work at Chicago University, and is now a candidate for a Doctor's degree at Columbia. Frequently he is called upon to address teachers' meetings. He is the 27 UNIVERSITY D author of an article in the june, 1907, Journal of Pedagogy, entitled Finding the Individual. His classroom work and his study are both characterized by the type of non-partisan, unprejudiced application that augurs well for develop- ment of the study of education from the scientific, rather than from the a priore standpoint. The work in 'fHistory of Education aims to bring out the intimate relation that has existed in the past between the life of any people and their educational institutions, and lead to a consideration of similar relations in contemporary life. Further the aim is to show whether or not American edu- cation is an adequate expression of American life and ideals, and to ascertain how our education can be made to contribute more to the working out of typical American social problems. IfVhile being an independent thinker, Prof. Parker is a close disciple of Thorndike, Dewey and Judd, and of their scientific methods. History Department of U. S. N.. C. MRs.

It was decreed that this child should be named Nineteen Eight, evidently a wise provision, rhyming as it does with the adjective great Like knights of old, it was given colors for which to fight, and which it proudly held aloft through all its existence. ' The dangers and difficulties peculiar to college infancy beset this class, but it survived and gained in hardihood from the combats it engaged in, in classroom, laboratory, or athletic field. A red letter day connected with its youth was October 9, 1905, when it began at midnight to impress upon its playmates the fact that it had brawn as well as brain, and continued to excite the troubled surprise of the class of naughty-nine until noon of that day. As this class matured, under the wise and careful training of the instructors provided for it by the Mater, and as it realized more perfectly its individuality, its ability to enjoy and its ability to suffer were intensified. Of joys it had many, such as receiving the banner for the championship in indoor baseball, sitting in the front chapel seats the second day after they were vacated by the class of nineteen-seven, and being led out of chapel by the President of the University. One chief sorrow eclipses all the minor sorrows-the sudden loss of a brother, whose presence the class, through the remainder of its life, sorely missed. The survivors of this class are a devoted and heart-broken faculty, a junior class which, -sad to relate, is but eager to claim its inheritance, a kind, sympa- thetic Sophomore class, and an admiring Freshman class, besides special friends too numerous to mention. It is pleasant to see those who have fought their fight well pass beyond these portals, even though those left behind must suffer lossg however, when they think of the departed class the memory cannot but bring inspiration, and its noble example,urge on to valiant endeavor. T Thou art gone, and how we miss thee! Never can we flll thy place. How we loved thy gentle presence, Thy intelligence, thy grace. Thou art gone, but not forgotten. And thy deeds we'll oft relate, In the Recensio they're written- Grand old class of Nineteen Eight! 35 SENIORS b H C' BAL, Horace Ballinger, Bradford, Qhio, AP. Y. M. C. A.

Mead. 45 unior Class Histor e as A little more than two years ago there entered at Miami a class large in number, dauntless in spirit, full of the vigor of budding manhood and woman- hood-a class that seemed capable of meeting any difficulty, any task. The first concerted action of the members came in the annual pole-rush, when they defended their banner of black and gold against the onslaught of the Sophomores. The intrepidity and energy manifested then were carried into classroom, athletics. into every kind of activity, for the new classhwas soon identified with every form of college life. The next year saw even greater progress along every line of work. In the inter-class athletic contest the Sophomores were the championsg everywhere they had the same high standing, winning new laurels, setting the pace for their comrades. Now, in nineteen hundred and eight, as juniors, the class that fostered such high expectations has made good. Only about one-half of the original number remains, but in that half are found in a high degree, manliness, woman- liness, energy and ambition. Juniors take an active and prominent part in every sphere of Miami life- spiritual, mental and physical: whether in classroom or on athletic field, the standard upheld by the Junior is ever the highest, making for what is best and most honorable in life. Viewed in the light of the past and present. nineteen- nine gives promise of furnishing one of the fullest and richest chapters in the history of Old Miami. VVell may the Alma Mater be proud of her centennial class, whose members will carry into the world the same high ideals they cher- ished in her bosom. C. L., 'O9. xv ty 46 JUNIORS Margaret Bay Several seasons ago there came into our midst from the land of Colonels and whiskey, one wearing the map of Germany on her face. Running the gauntlet of Preps and ,Normal School, she at last got her bearing in the present Junior Class. A better and more conscientious person never breathed. The combination of her afhnities, music and Deutsche, have produced very remarkable re- sults. In class. at study, in the library, in fact every- where, she persists in crooning over German songs, and at Hepburn Hall her morning songs are a signal for all to arise. Dr. Culler pronounces it Germanitis, but Dr. Handsehin can't pronounce it at all. 1'It is a clear case of 'associated relationshipsf which can be measured by the Pearson co-efficient formula, says Prof. Parker. VVell, whatever it is, it is, and it shows the noble soul and the light heart which lie within. VVe trust that it may always remain -with you, Margaret. Herman Henry Beneke Now, then, in the first place, gentlemen, his face would have served well to stop traffic on High street, Oxford. After this one statement, we dip our pen in the milk of human kindness and deal as gently with our vic- tim as possible. We first heard of Herman at Brook- ville, Ohio, which is his natal village. There he com- pleted his common school education, and after carrying off all the medals for oratory in that part of the country, he came to Miami to cover himself with glory. He's been in every oratorieal and debating contest, and we're glad to say, in the last attempt he made good and was chosen as one of Miami's representatives in the triangu- lar debating contest. Wllat would Miami Union and the North Dorm Senate be without Herman Henry? Tl1ey'd surely have to make an assignment if he were to withdraw from their numbers. The speech made at the Junior Class party was probably his best. H. H. holds one record-he has succeeded in jumbling together more grammatical errors in one sentence than any known Pennsylvania Dutchman. As a leader of the non-fra- ternity element, his latest scheme is a non-fraternity house, with, Herman Henry Beneke as matron. Really, now, we must say that he's a good-hearted chap, and we hope he'll get there in the end. Earl C. Bowman Yes, fsir, I was born and raised in College 'Cornerf' This man is a Methodist, Prohibitionist and Socialist. In fact, heill belong to anything which offers a field for argu- ment. Once he almost gained renown as a contestant in the Gold Medal Oratorical Contest of 1907. As an argufier in the classroom he has no peer-when it comes to changing the subject every minute and a half. Earl has escaped being enamored by any co-ed. He has even withstood the beguiling call of the siren-like summer girl of Miami Campus fame. At the time of the Hepburn Hall fire he even evaded the gentler sex. Truly, thou art of all most exceptional. 47 JUNIORS Margaret S. Bridge Ah !-O-I-er-er-. Beg pardon, but we introduce to the reader Miss Margaret Bridge of Franklin, Ohio. Her constant joy is her association with this college life and the letters that come from home. The Y. VV. C. A. could not exist without her aid, we are sure. Without her assistance the Student would be laborious reading. Her facile pen and fertile mind have created the Calendar of this volume, and otherwise added to its beauty. We are all agreed that she has a pleasant conversation. As Boola even Massachusetts Bay admired her. Her commanding presence causes even town boys and preps to slink away and hide when she approachesg and it is known that Dean Hamilton fears being superseded by her. Her initial appearance at Miami was in the Normal College, where she was a sort of ruler. Rumor has it that she will either occupy Dr. Todd's chair of Eco- nomics or start a woman's college, or enter into Domestic Science. Say what you will, weire all proud of you, Buster, and both Old Miami and Naughty-nine join hands in doing you homage. 'G Mabel Briney Vifoodstock, Ohio, is responsible for this production, which, in truth, is so sweet that we have to stop and examine closely to determine whether or not it is the out- put of a sugar refinery. She's an unsophisticated country lass, and good natured. No metallic luster is. visible, but a few unkind girls have been known to call her brassy. The Art Room is her retreat. There she has produced many a worthy product. Thru her influence many of the Recensio drawings were made. Her genuine qualities and girlish simplicity are her especial charms.

He is a nothing but clean, white collars and well-brushed clothes. Moreover, his shoes are always shiney. He was the best boy in the common schooliand high school: his deportment marks were so high that after graduation he was allowed to teach school for a while. Our genial and reticent friend Chester has two aversions-women and bad habits. He was once seen with a girl from Eaton who was visiting in Oxford, and nobody has forgotten this occasion. Mr. Brubaker's' politi- cal aspirations are hard to ascertain. Sometimes we are inclined to think that he is in the combine, and again he appears to be an independent. In the Chemistry Lab., his recreation ground, he has vainly tried to rob Hugh B. Gordon of his honors as grind. Now, then, Chester, the next time you see papa you tell him how glad we are to have you as a member of our Class, and if you weren't born under the right sign of the moon, so, much the worse for the moon. 48 JUNIORS VVinif1'ed Marie Colvin, QIJT They call her everything from Win down to Freddie. but she prefers to be called upon and Winifi'ed. Such a bright girl! So intellectual, indeed that she was made assistant in Mrs. Richards' English classes this year. The Y. W. C. A., Phi Tau Sorority and German classes f'?J have been her chief sources of delight. I have heard it said that the mention of D. K. E. once made her heart throb with emotion. Thereby hangs a tale. One night on their way home from church, he said: Miss Colvin twe suppose he addresed her thush, only listen to those birds singing, etc., etc., which may not mean much to everybody, but had a deep impression upon one who had drunk in the words of the preacher at University service that afternoon. Wliat did she answer to his suggestion? We.don't know, but just suppose she said, 'iSpring is coming. Frances Cotner Miss Cotner, who has just come into our midst, is the product of several summer schools. She used to teach Victor Pierson. Miss Cotner is a very hard student, and such a nervous little body that we tear for her welfare, but we trust that her name will be on the roll of illus- trious young men and women who expect to get their B. A.'s in 1909. Miss Clara Coynei' Formerly of Monmouth, whose brother James is in school. Miss Coyner is a very enthusiastic individual. She enters into all phases of college life with a charac- teristic forcefulness. From her vve've learned all that is to be known of Monmouth College, and incidentally of Brother James. She has been with us for such a short time that We can't write much of her history. 49 JUNIORS Harry Raymond Crander This evidence of the Germanic element claims Heno as his place of residence. As a boy he spent his summers hoeing tobacoo and bugging potatoes, and the winters in storing up the necessary knowledge to admit him to the second year of Prepdom in Miami University. Really, this gentleman baffles description. As a member of lvlianzi Union he has distinguished himself by several violent outbursts of temper and by an unfailing C?J devotion to duty. His tastes are decided, as are his opinions. Only once in his college career has he been wounded by Cupid's dart, but when he escaped the summer school allure- ments he hardened his heart. It's too bad, especially since it's Leap Year. A Mary Dine That rhymes with stein. You might not guess it from her name, but should your idle glance rest for one mo- ment upon her Visage you could not but notice a remark- able resemblance between her features and the map of Germany. Like all the Dutch, she's good-natured and Himmer sie macht viele spaszf' Oh, yes, she frequently gets hot, but she always gets over it. She's only been with our class this year, and now that she .is one of us, we don't intend to say good-bye to her until June, 1909, when our noble band will go forth unto the different parts of the earth to seek their fortune. Nellie Finch A sweet, unaffected lass of the Oxford rural districts. Her consciousness and womanliness are her strong points. Nellie's one failing is her tendency to get homesick. VVhenever she gets these spells she just telephones home. and papa soon arrives upon the scene. She is the victim of two fires-the H. H. and Coulter conflagrations. We predict that some day this member of our class will be the recipient of the staunch affections of some sturdy swain, and we'll all agree that he'll be no darned un- lucky man. I-le'll probably never have to worry about holes in his socks or buttonless shirts. 50 JUNIORS O. O. Fisher, EX Nice, chubby little Ott is about five feet six inches short, and of, anyway, 200 pounds avoirdupois. More- over, he has curly hair and a pair of store eyes, with ear attachments. He has sometimes been called Rockey- fellerf' VVe don't know why, but maybe Esther does. For the last two years Fisher has been working in the Chemistry Lab., trying to obtain Hope as a precipitate in a certain experiment. He cannot be urged to leave this by anything but the gentle voice of one, and when she falls the experiment will be finished. Cap used to be- long to the militia, and he's one of the best products Sid- ney ever sent to Oxford. Otto possesses marked scholar- ship in Latin, but by force of circumstances is often found in Brice Hall. Just recently he has seriously considered the study of Domestic Science, and is now doing prep work in that branch at the Sig House. Oh, yes, I 'most forgot to tell you that he's a good horseback rider. Heber Dininger Fitzgerald. BOH No, this is not the name of the hero of a dime novel, but is a real live Collegian. By some he is dubbed Fitz, but by his intimates as YVindy, for he is a true descendant of Aeolus himself. Some explain the almost perpetual motion of his tongue to the fact that it moves upon ball-bearings' Since 1905, the year Heber blew into Oxford, there has been a very keen breeze. Like the north wind, this lad goes straight on with awful force till his task is accomplished, for that Fitz is a man of deeds as well as words is very well known. Like the south Wind, when, as a Zephyr of early spring it wakes the birdies to chorals of love, Heber wafts himself to the col- lege, or more appropriately goes thither, like the wind, for there he is to see-my gracious! I nearly told. For- getting the figure of the winds, Fitz is a man thru and thru, and is highly esteemed as a man of character and ability. I Claire Forrey Now, ,what shall we say about this girl? You all know that she's a hard student, an earnest worker and a star in all her classes. Unless one knew her well, her plain, honest, Puritanic countenance might convey an impression of deep seriousness. During her first year here she might have pleaded guilty to such a charge, but now there would be no strength in an argument on that side. In fact, she's a perfect dickens and a. mighty nice kid. Some time ago she held a. very enviable reputa- tion in a knockers' club, but since she entered the Junior Class she has clothed herself with wisdom and laid aside such childish faults. 51 JUNIORS Josephine Funclerburgh Thus she was christened, but she prefers plain, short Jo, so that's what she's called. Before joining our ranks Miss Funderburgh took college work at Antioch and Monmouth. It is her intention to enter the School for Nurses at Johns Hopkins University when she graduates in 1909. That it didn't take her long to catch the spirit of the institution is shown by the interest she manifests in whatever pertains to college activities. She was one of the forwards on the winning class team. Most of her spare time is spent at Brice Hall delving into the mys- teries of'Nature. Before she leaves these college walls she'll be acquainted with all the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea and whatsoever moveth on the face of the earth. L Leo Rees Gaddis, BGJH He is that long-legged, good-natured Beta they call Gad, His early days were spent at Colfax, Ill. There, in the employ of a telephone company, he learned to climb-a feat which has always been of greatest im- portance in our pole-rushes and in stealing of class ban- ners from the tower of the main building. Gad has spent much of his time in the Biology Lab., where he has been specializing under Dr. Willianis. Since his work there has always been very good, we predict that, when the shingle is hung out there'll be much success for L. Rees Gaddis, M. D. Leslie Gee, CDAGJ . My! What gi. quiet man. Sphinx of 1909. Hailing from the Prairie State, Mr. Gee identified himself with our illustrious bunch in its vulgar incipiency. Since his inatriculation his friends say that he has uttered just seven words, but by working overtime, expects to leave a record of ten. Our Leslie is a Phi Delt thru and thru, and like other Phis he has been known to display emo- tion-deep Pitts of emotion. Gee is more famed as being the brother of How than for any peculiar propensity or proclivity on his part. Liz, in spite of his inherent mod- esty, has many friends, and he is by no means the small- est contribution to the sum total of the ability of Naughty- nine. Tho he talks but little, he's a walking lesson that many might, to a great advantage, emulate and imitate, 52 JUNIORS Marjorie Grant, fIJT Greenville claims her as its own but she's belonged to Old Miami since '05 and we're right glad of it. En- thusiastic? Yes. She's great on starting things-her chief fault being that she starts some things she can't finish. She's great on getting crushes with girls: but these change as often as the moon. A Bible study leader, a Y. W. C. A. girl, a good Episcopalian, and loyal Sigma Chi maid is she. YVe have Hum Johnston's word for the last statement, for he was once heard to say: They used to try to beat my time, but I have them bluffed now and they don't try it any more. They know just how Marge feels. She does wear his Sig pin. In her entire college career it has always been Margery who helped to make the class banners. She never misses class basketball games fthough of course there is a. rea- son for thatb. She was a star in Freshman Chemistry and here's hoping that she won't lose her graft with Jimmie before June, 'O9. Angeline Haworth, LDT Medium height, black hair, line complexion, jolly, good- natured and charmingly lady-like are the adjectives over- heard by the reporter in the Co-op, and all agree with the speaker. She's as regular at classes as can be ex- pected, but displays most interest in the study of econom- ics. In this class she won distinction for herself by a report entitled, The Co-op. Stores of America. The Phi Tau-Sigma Chi combination would be incomplete without her. The sandwich stand, after Chapel walks, and library chit-chats are important items in her life. Once in her life she was threatened with a disease called bacillus 'amoris by bacteriologists, and the insidious disease has left its mark. Already she has begun to tell others about a Cheery dining room, its table, etc., etc. CSee Lib. Arts Club program.J The chronicler of 1909 hopes that the centennial year will nnd this womanly little woman among its number. Maud. Hadyn A sweeter maid and of fairer face there is none in the Junior Class. Maud's dimples help to make that already sweet smile sweeter. She and Nell King are seen most often together. VVe'd all like to know her better than we do. 53 JUNIORS Mary Hossfeld We have never known Mary as well as some of the other girls, probably because she lives in Oxford and has not been very dependent upon 'Varsity girls for compan- ionship. As we have known her, she has been a hard and steady student, faithful to fulfill her duty at all times. This year she won for herself a place on the winning team of the Inter-class basketball games. VVil1iam Morse Hicks ' A name worthy of a much greater person. The name Bub is very much more expressive in the present case. Such a lubberly looking individual! But acknowledges, himself, that he was the worst individual that ever at- tended Amelia High School. As a last resort his father sent him to Miami Military Institute, where he wore out one pair of shoes each week walking off demerits. After graduating from M. M. I. Bub decided that' they needed him at Miami University, so enrolled as a member of the Class of '09. Trouble! trouble! Prexie came near giving Hicks a lemon once but thought if he kept Morse he might reform him, since he had not yet passed the formative period of his youth. Bub said he had his fingers crossed when he signed his will be good papers so he still has his personal liberty guaranteed. Morse has a good head and with proper care of himself could be worth while, but he swears vengeance on the South Dorm crowd for their evil insinuations of last year. Chester Johnston, EX Big Johnston, Sig Johnstonft Hum, these are the names given him but we would add another Wind Pusher. And now that we have come to Hum we'll not write him up in stilted style-he's too big. Flag station No. 23 alias Sidney, claims our hero. When Quite a youth he drove the cows to pasture and watered the horses. As he grew he became strong in knowledge as well as in body and before he packed his pie-box and purchased a ticket for this classic village we find him doing yeoman service in the three R's, but more effectually with the hickory. Sigma Chi claims him and so does Marge G., which, strange to say, is good team Work with no interference. This leads us to the fact that Hum is a pig-skin artist of no mean ability and an athlete of unquestionable merit-et cetera ad infmitum. 'PThe Editor makes a rake-off by hurling these verbal bouquets, and for the oral garlands hung about the neck of Margery. 54 JUNIORS Richard E. jones, AKE Holds the enviable C?J and much sought after posi- tion of manager of this epoch-making book. Dick has always been a lady fusser: but if we are tn judge from the record of the past he's as unstable in his affections as he is intense. He gets crazy about a girl: but then he gets over it and is ready for something new soon afterwards. The physiognomy of this Welsliinaii speaks clearly of the honest, straightforward manliness which has gained for him so many friends. That Dick is stubborn no one would deny-not even he himself. He has acquitted himself nobly on the basketball field, on the gridiron and in almost every phase of athletics. Richard, we're duly proud of you-just as proud as Mar- garet is. VVells Rhodehamel Keely, B011 No that middle name is not an imprecation,-it's sim- ply a legacy. Many times, good old ladies and innocent maids have inquired of Wells' friends how on earth he ever got that horrid nick-name Smut One Beta says it is because he has such a pale face, another because he comes from Hamilton. But list-the real reason lies imbedded in the murky history of the Sigma Chi Sigma frat rooms in Hamilton. Nature has given Wells a com- plexion which means a great saving in Talcum powder. In the files of Dan Cupid is preserved in connection with the Ph.D. tBerlinJ institution the unexcelled record of Wells Keely, in intensity and extensity of Crushes. YVith kaleidoscopic swiftness old Dan is kept moving about: first at Ft. Wayne, next at Hartwell and then at Tay- lorville-and the end is not yet. Smut also has the record of having told the same story to three prospective papas in the short space of one year. We're sorry that you received a call to the far Vvest. Salve, Smut! When you return again to Old Miami your system will be better able to withstandpthe nervous attacks caused by Profs. and Exams. Florence Isabel Kerr, CDT Her one ideal, toward whom she clings with unquench- able zeal, is Dean Hamilton. No fact was ever more evident than this. We doubt if Boswell held Samuel Johnson in greater awe than she does the Dean of Women of our school. Hers is a body of finest sensi- bilities. She is.much given to sentimentality and is often found reading beautiful books, which no doubt are the cause of her far-away looks and pensive eyes. Wlia,t more is there to say, except that she is thoroughly a. woman and a friend Well worth having? 55 JUNIORS Nell King Yes, she's Mayor Tom's daughter. All during her col- lege life she has been a worthy example of an unpreten- tious little woman, who quietly moves along in her own way and does her share of work. She comes up to 7 :30's with Maud Hayden, and goes home with her at noon. We knew so little of this member of our class that we tried to peer a little into the future. The result of our efforts was always this: She'll be married and live happily ever afterwards. rl Catherine Lens Maiden with those meek, brown eyes In whose orb a shadow lies. Careful, thoughtful, womanly, Passionately fond of Psychology. Only once has she failed to get her name on the all A list and then for three days no one could comfort her. In Logic, she has excelled even Mr. Bowman and Senior Swartz. Psych. and Math. have been but play- things for her, and chemistry has proven real amuse- ment. An abstract idea or a good book are her chief delights. What she doesn't know about German wouldn't make a very large book. She has talked it all her life, and her letters home are always in that language. Some- times we think her almost pretty-but we always think her one of the deepest and most likable girls in school. We will hear her name read at commencement time with a Magna Cum Laude attached. Ora McCafferty - Oh, Muse of the Recensio, come to our aid, for we know not what to write in this history of this maid. Her col- lege life has always been so intimately connected with that of Miss Wood that nobody has ever been able to de- termine what are the characteristics of one apart from the other. Piano duets are one of their chief accomplish- ments. and they bear the distinction of being able to keep good dance time. A chief stunt of theirs has been to learn which key is for what door and what they should do if the key to that door was lost and they should find the which door locked, and other key problems quite as difficult in connection with their life at 1VIiss Shoop's. Ora is a good student. She isn't a very good mixer, but her few friends find in her many likable qualities. 56 JUNIORS Edna McDaniels Another member of the Recensio Board, so we'1l have to handle her with care. She's one of the most energetic pieces of humanity you ever beheld. What didn't she do for the Bible Study Work of the Y. W. C. A.? Edna used to go to Denison, but there campistry took so much of her time that she came to Miami, where she thought she could give more attention to her studies. She's been living with her sister in the country just outside of Oxford and the ruddy glow of her cheeks is due to the brisk walks she has to take to get in for 7 :30 recitations. There's always some fun brewing when Edna Mac is around, although her dignined bearing would seem to indicate that she's always the sedate Aunt Edna. Virgil Bevis Mayne At last we have arrived at the name of the most talked of man in school. Really, there is so much to be said that we scarcely know where to begin. During the early days of his college career Virgil spent much time decorating the walls of his room, the doors and hallways, with anonymous notices, for which he was tried by the Mound Builders. He, alone, enjoys the distinc- tion of being acquitted by the North Dorm Senate. Like Virgil of old, our Virgil is handy with the pen. Some of the most celebrated love letters in the annals of lit- erary history have been penned by his hand. Within his queer looking and yes-repulsive frame are stored up the abilities possessed by no other in school. If only he could be stirred up we'd have a bunch of highly in- teresting material for our readers. As it is, we hope to have a few of his productions. Twice Virgil has been before the N. D. Senate for the same offense-but of no avail. We rather think that to push him in a stream would be the easiest way to end his earthly existence, for the shock of touching such a great quantity of water would be too great to withstand. Why do you persist in defying the rules of the social group, Virgil? The line of dope you get off in the letters you write shows that you could be'a heart-smasher if you'd just spruce up. Arthur Raymond Mead, AP How we'd like to roast him in this, but we know he would'nt stand for a scorching because he's the Editor- in-Chief. As it is, we'll submit to you something which resembles a eulogy, although it was handed in for his write up, and incidentally add a foot-note to tell you the truth. CThe eulogy!-O'h, what a man. Surely one of better parts has ne'er been formed. That soulful eye and that voice so deep and mellow are an index of the noble spirit lodged within. Truly, the world might say of him-behold an American in whom there is no guile. CThe other party-All during Mr. Mead's university life we have seen him filling some position of responsibility and doing it worthily. Because of his able ,administra- tive ability the Juniors selected him as editor-in-chief of this volume, and for a like reason he was given the man- agement of the University Inn, where he sees to it that all things are done in decency and in order. CSome more eulogy with a little prophecyj-Should Prexy find it necessary to go to Columbus to look after the welfare of Old Miami and Dr. Hepburn find the chapel too cnld for him. our editor would be chosen to 'marshall out the dignified C'?J Seniors. 57 JUNIORS Clinton London Markley, AKE VVe really ought to allow Ruth Van Pelt to write on this subject for she, better than any other, could write an appreciation. Clint is one of the Georgetown crowd renowned for the trouble they have caused in school. VVhen he started to school Ohio State was his choice, but he got wise at the end of the first term and came to Miami VVe were decidedly the gainer by this move for Clint has proved himself an efficient college man. He has covered himself with glory several times in athletic meets, for he holds several medals. Moreover he has broken records in track athletics. Because of his efliciency in this line he was made President of Board of Control of the Athletic Association, and Captain of the Track Team. h Cary S. Miller A shy, retiring soul from the bleak, God-forsaken hills of Clermont County. It seems very appropriate that he should have been born on the 5th of July, since it only goes to impress upon our minds the truth in that old say- ing, There's always a calm after the storm. Felicity, luis nativity, seems also to be very appropriate, as Bill is the ideal of contentment and happiness. For a few months before he came here he worked as an under- taker, having attended a school of embalming in Cin- cinnati. Since he's been at Miami he has done good, faithful work, Although he isn't exactly a lady fusser, he goes quietly about his own business, and may count as his friends almost all the fellows in College. Olimer Conrad Minnich, AP Yes, the nephew of Dean Minnich. What would the girls call him-? '? ? ? A? ? But maybe they donit under- stand him. He's very ambitious. Why, he's taught school in the winter and come to summer school until he had enough credits to put him in our class. His habits are good, but his tastes are peculiar. You can find him at the Erodelphian Hall on Friday evenings, in Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoons, and at the Delta Rho House between times. We'll have to give him credit, though, for doing nothing bad, and for the good work he does in school, for he enters into almost all the activites. He's very sensitive to everything-even to the light and evanescent affections of the summer girl, for he's had many a sum- mer case and has been a close student of campistry. lVe'll bet his papa don't know of these actions, or he'd get a good send-off sure. 58 JUNIORS Charles Sumner Mohler, Al? Way back in the remote history of the past, in one of the quiet, country villages of Miami County, Charles Summer Mohler began his career. YVhen he had addcd a sutiicient store of knowledge he began to prosecute the helpless youth of his village, and for two years yielded the birch. VVhen it was no longer safe for him in those districts, he betook himself to our beloved institution and sought protection under Prexy's sheltering wings. He soon gave vent to such an amount of talk that in 1907 he won a place for himself on the Inter-Co1legiate'De- bating Team. We have Brill's word for it that, as Assistant Manager of The Student, Mohler has done him- self proud. The Delta Rhos couldn't spare him from their councils any more than Prof. I-Ioopes could from the Gym. Team. The resuscitation of the defunct Civil League is very largely due to his efforts as Treasurer of that organization. As a Sportsman he holds the rec- ord of being one of the best .C?J shots in this section of the country. Once our friend was classed with the all A students, but since he couldn't bear to be brought before the public eye he decided never to commit any such act as would put his name on the honor list again. Benjamin Chidlaw Morris, AKE . He's that good-natured, perpetually smiling, curly- haired, red-faced youth who has Hgured so greatly in all phases of athletics. His native place is Bagdad, other- wise Paddy's Run, sometimes known as New London and again as Shandon. 'lnis village may have a new name before the Recensio reaches our readers. It happened that Ben broke the stillness of his paternal mansion on the 29th of February, and he's been raising a grand up- roar ever since. If you can't take our word for it, ask Dr. Wildman, his next-door neighbor. We couldn't do without him, though, for he's a University marshal, Ath- letic Editor of the Recensio, an all-star football man, a famous member of the North Dorm Senate and a promi- nent flgure in class basketball games. If Ben has ever had any affairs of the heart it is unknown to us. Oh, yes, there is an affair on now, with a little 'girl who is living for the present in Shandon. Roberta 0'Bannon f One of Kentucky's fair -maids. Everybody likes to hear her' talk, and the perpetual motion of her inferior sub-maxillary seems to indicate that she thoroughly en- joys it herself. After twelve o'clock she always says good evenin', but I reckon we needn't think that strange. It's all due to her bringing up. Everybody talks that way in her county. She's Marjorie Grant's most adorable and seems to hold that position with J. Howenstine. This is her first year within our portals. For two years she wiled away her happy hours at Bethany College, VVest Virginia, but in the Fall of 1907 some good spirit, moved with compassion, bore her north- ward to breathe the salubrious atmosphere of Oxford. 59 JUNIORS Emery Edward Patterson, AKE Bellefontaine means beautiful springs. One of the most beautiful springs known to record is the time when Emery springs upon the stage of this world's activities. Chased to school and chased home again, Pat at length swore eternal fealty to the sacred vows of Sigma Chi Sigma and as the youngest person ever graduating from the Belle- fontaine high school entered the portals of Old Miami in the fall of 1905. It is said that in his monthly account Pat had a large coal-oil bill. When Mr. Patterson sen- for, visited the D.K.E. house and found it illuminated with electricity he curtailed the revenue. After that Pat had to deny himself several trips to Hamilton until he de- vised another soheme. Pat is a representative man of the Institution. He was winner of the Sophomore Latin prize, has been a participant in athletic eventsg this year is class president and moreover holds the honored position of manager-elect of the football team of the season of '0S. To him we also owe much of the assistant work, on the managerial staff of this volume. Ruth Putnam, GDT 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good. CDid that come out of the Bible, or did Shakespeare say it?J Leba- non University was the loser in this case, and the Junior Class of M. U. decidedly the gainer. It's hard to describe one of her type. In appearance she is very attractive and she possesses all the charms which characterize the women who have been bred in Old Kentucky. Since her arrival in Oxford, Cameron Cottage has been her abode. Piokerel has been her one flame Cuntil lately Gad arrived upon the sceneb, but don't be alarmed at this combination. Pickerel's always aiiame. If we can be- lieve our eyes, we'll have to own that Ruth is past the stage of crushes, Since Christmas she has been wear- ing upon the third finger of her left hand a sign which reads Sold. Herman Rush Din you ever see Herman Rush? From Holgate, Ohio, he hied himself hither. Strange, isn't it, that he didn't inflict himself on some other college further up in the state? Since he comes from the midst of the Black Swamp, we fain would call him Swamp Angel, but for certain close relations and convictions bearing upon our- selves. His college career has been checkered, as have his ideas. He has traveled all the way from prepdom with no more troublesome incident than arrest and trial by-the North Dorm Senate. As president of Miami Union he shone forth with resplendent radiance. He's considered the worst sour-ball in school. Rarely does that phiz light up with a smile. Well, never mind, we've said enough. 60 JUNIORS Carlos Bourne Shafer, AP If we could just allow him to tell about himself, we'd have material for an epic, with Carlos Bourne as its hero. But, alas! it cannot be, and ye, oh, readers, will have to content yourselves with something very commonplace. Great aspirations in music and oratory are his, and gra- cious, how we have been forced to suffer because of these. He is very susceptible to feminine charms, but so far as we know he has not caused many hearts to palpitate. His school work is very creditable, and to him several of the drawings of this volume are due. There's pretty good stuff in you, Carl, and if you'll just inhibit a few of your qualities which make you unlik- able to so many, you'll be something really worth while, for you aren't afraid to work and you do your work well. Daisy Alma Shellhouse This Daisy was picked at Dayton and transplanted to Oxford soil in 1906. She is a grind of the nrst order, and has never been known to say, Not prepared, Doc- tor. Her studious habits have resulted in her skipping the Sophomore year. Her plump form, tight-htting waists and rosy cheeks help to distinguish her from the common crowd, and if you can't tell her by these characteristics, just stand around until you hear somebody expressing very decided views or discussing woman's suffrage, and you'll know 'tis she. She is a girl with a broad expe- rience andhas a very wide field of knowledge. Certain little mannerisms cause her to be misjudged, but her friends know her to be a good friend and a mighty fine girl. We don't know whether Daisy has decided upon her life work, but this is Leap Year, and she may com- mit matrimony. David Carl Shilling Member of the married men's club-critic for Miami Union-winner of the Haffner Essay prize-teacher of Prep. history, etc., etc. Before matriculating in our uni- versity wielded, for eight 1-ong years the pedagogical ferule in Hancock county, Ohio, and left the superinten- dency of Rawsou public schools to further satisfy and quench his thirst for larnin. By attending summer school he made up enough credits to enlist him in the ranks of 1909. It is a pleasure to inform Prof. Bradford of certain things and he does it free of charge. In fact, when Jimmy is called to higher tasks Shilling expects to take his place. There are just three places where Mr. Shilling spends his time- mit der Frau, in the Document room and in the Library. His future is assured-he will either add one more to th? brilliant galaxy of stars among Miami's alumni or die from acute intellectual indigestion. 61 JUNIORS W1llUCf Garfield Stover, of Columbus Grove, ' Ohio This gentleman has most varied abilities. Dr. Fink discovered his genius-- botanical lab. assistant. The faculty discovered his dignity, and the result-Head Mar- shal. Miami Union learned his administrative tactics- developed in the experience as pedagogue-and made him president of that society. As a farmer, he cares for the Botanical Garden,,and as a bacteriologist, kills harmless guinea pigs. The editor-in-chief chose him as Grinds editor, for which he will duly suffer. But here's where we get even. Yet We hope he'll not get unrufliled, for this is not a fine nor imprisonment. Should he take it as a joke, we want it understood to be meant seriouslyg and should he take it seriously, We want it understood to be a joke. His best trait is his kind temper. Dan Cupid hit him square with a barbed dart last year, and now he daily yearns for the sunny skies of Porto Rico. His bravery was well shown as Professor Stover,'l in the Hepburn Hall fire. He can ask more questions in five minutes than a modern triplex-speed phonograph can in an houril YVilmer Garfield, with all thy faults we love thee sti . b Paul Teetor Our subject for discussion teetored into this vale of tears in 1890, and through Shandon High School in 1904. That fall he came to Miami and through some mistake was classified as a prep. The next year the error was corrected and he joined the class of 1909. Paul is a good boy, a hard student and a regular cat in science and math. The two lovely dimples in his cheeks are his especial charm, while his smile is the only vicious thing about him. Once this young man took a girl to a basket- ball game. This was his first and last venture. Why? lve are not able to say, but no doubt he feared the con- sequences vvhich Leap Year might bring on. Ethel Vlfagner We know not what to put down beside this name. Plain and awfully nice is the verdict of us all. There really isntt much to say for she never did anything start- ling. It has been her wont to perform industriously all tasks assigned to her by the Profs., so we judge that her mother has trained her in the way that she should tread. Her chief activity has been in connection with basketball at Junior practices. Here's to you, Ethel, you'll make a shining light sometime as someone's Schon Frau. 62 JUNIORS Clyde Vernon Zimmerman. AP, Gratis, Q. This fellow of the heavy avoirdupois and easy going conservatism is our advertising manager, and he has otherwise materially added to the production of this vol- ume. Zim's predeliction to obesity clisqualifies for either a sprint or long distance. Wlieii he was just a wee boy, by mistake he was left out of doors in the damp night air and not discovered until the next day when the hot sunshine had warped his nose. Zim's affinities are few but they are lasting and strong-the chief of which is his pipe. As student assistant UE causes many a Freshman to weep when he sees his chemistry note-book. He is perfectly unsentiinentalg the only way to move him is with cold logic. Sedulously does he avoid the esoteric cogitations of philosophy, the vain babblement of fiatulent garrulity, and shuns the verbose prolixity and extraneous descantings of Prof. Gates' public speaking course. Yet he's a very essential element in the Class of 1909. ' George Booth Cap was born in Hamilton about 221 years ago. Since he lived in Hamilton it is a foregone conclusion that he's not a little tin angel. As soon as little George finished his common school education, papa Booth sent him to live with his uncle, in the country near Oxfordg for he knew that there he would be good. Naturally, he came to our famous, old college, where he has always imbibed knowledge with great zeal. The men of the university showed an appreciation of Boothis worth when they elected him captain of the football team for the second time. George has a ternperg George has a girlg George lisps a little and that's all except that he's very well liked by all the students. Paul VV111l3.lllS Schlenk, BQDII Gee, if it's true that the Dutch hate the Irish and the Irish hate the Dutch, what a conflict of emotions must rage eternally in the breast of Pat Schlenk! This classic village on TalleWanda's shore, knew our German hero these many years before he entered college, and metaphorically braced itself against his advent in 1905, when Pat's head outgrew the knowledge of Waliiut Hills high school. Strong is the adjective which characterizes him. Strong physically, strong mentally and equally strong-headed. That reminds us of that pate of his. Someone said that it is equally smooth inside and outside, which is we own rather ambiguous. Be that as it may Pat has won a place for himself in our little college world, by his executive ability, power of accomplishment and ever ready supply of good spirits. Merit forces it- self into notice and some day we'll look in admiration upon our hard-headed, shiny-headed, bald-headel Dutch classmate Pat. 63 CHURCH STREET -bfi Xaf f x 4 5 Ji..

Harrel SOPHOMORES T e Herald ail Vol. 93 R- JUNE 20, 2085 No. 160 ncient Manuscript Brought to Light! -' k History of nknown Tribes Revealed EXCAVATIONS IN OXFORD VICINITY CONTINUE Dr. M. Jones, our noted scientist, who for the past three months has been Working in the ruins of ancient Oxford-a town which it is evident was destroyed more than a century ago-has discovered a very interesting roll of parchment, on which are the records of tribes whose existence up to this time was unknown. The manuscript, though yellow with age and spotted and marred as a result of its long concealment, is in the main fairly Well preserved and Dr. jones, after some study, has been able to read what is written thereon. The date of the roll is 1908, and mention is therein made of four tribes, but of one only is there a detailed account, from which fact we may assume that this tribe, known as Sophomore, was the most important. The parchment tells us that the Sophomores were a mighty band of men and women, numbering in all about seventy-two. The men were strong and courageous and the women industrious and loyal. As to their chief occupations we are left in doubt, but there is frequent -mention throughout the record of 68 SOPHOMORES Latin, Greek, Chemistry, Psychology and sciences of which today we have little or no knowledge and from this we know that they were versed in the classics and skilled in arts and sciences. VVe are told that they were feared by all other tribes on account of their strength and ability, yet they were a law-abiding people and submitted to the decrees of a governing body known as the faculty. Much space on the parchment is given up to the description of a great war waged for supremacy by Sophomores with another large tribe called Freshmen. There were three battles, the f'Pole-Rush, the Tug-of-war, and Football.', just what the method of warfare was at that time or what instruments were employed we are not told, but we may be sure that the combats were such as tried the metal of men. The hrst battle, the Pole-Rush, so the paper says, had been fought by other clans and tribes previous to that time, but what they gained only after protracted and desperate struggles, the mighty Sophomores accomplished with such skill and rapidity, that when their emblem of victory was brought forth, all tribes retreated in admiration and amazement. In the second battle, the Tug-of-war, the Sophomores owing to the disadvantage of their position, were not successful, but in the final contest, Football, they not only redeemed themselves, but magnificently conquered. The manuscript mentions three stated periods in the epoch known as Examinations What the nature of these was we can have no idea, for there seems to be nothing in our day with which they correspond, but they must have been timesof great trial and privation, for we are told that during these periods Sophomores rested neither day nor night and there was much fasting. Why these Examinations were imposed on Sophomores and what results they brought about we can only conjecture. A time of pleasure and rejoicing is recorded, when Sophomores met at a great gathering place for all tribes, known as Hepburn Hall, and there they feasted and made merry. J Here the account endsg it seems rather unfinished and abrupt and it is the opinion ,of Dr. jones that some of the manuscript has been destroyed. l 1 M. E.

Planting the colony. Here in this pretty spot in the southern part of Ohio, we planted our colony with the hardy youth of the land. Some of our Weaker inhabitants have fallen by the wayside but new and stronger ones have kept the ranks ever hlled. The new colony with its hundred inhabitants made up of sturdy hearted men and fair maidens bids fair to make a place in the countryls history. After thecolonists had become acquainted with their sur- roundings, and the new people with whom they associated, it was decided to choose a leader: so, with the help of one of the heads of the country, a tall, stalwart. black-haired youth was chosen to lead us in times of war as well as peace. H. The war of 1907. There were rumors of war soon after our leader had been chosen, from the colony which was just now a year old. Because we had come with such a noble band they became jealous of us. Going to the head of the council of the nation, they had a war arranged to last for a whole day with but slight intermissions between battles to carry off the dead and care for the wounded. The first battle was around a pole where the young colonists stood helpless and inexperienced, never having seen this mode of warfare before. Thus they awaited the onrush of a bunch of gigantic Sophs Cwe knew this from their way cryj, who swooped down upon us like a storm from the Alps. The strife was short, they stole our Hag by strategem and we had lost our first battle. The second battle came a few hours later on the famous Talawanda creek where we washed away the glory of their former victory by pulling them twice into the current while we went but once. The enemy took their defeat mighty hard and swore vengeance upon us in our next encounter. The third and decisive battle came at 2 P. M. of that same eventful day when amidst a pouring rain we were defeated in a game of football where again the ene1ny's experience gave them advantage. VVe were defeated but not conquered, and although the Sophs made many threats, as yet peace reigns in the nation. HT. Manner and Customs. We are not unlike former colonies that have been planted in this historic nation, for we often sleep in English 1, we 'fbonew in Chemistry, hate the stuff the council of the nations calls Math but we love 74 FRESHMEN our Dutchf' The nation has attempted to give us certain customs which We must follow, but thus far they have done nothing because they realize We are old enough to do what is best. IV. Social Life of the People. It is our social life that is especially strong, as is also our bodies from many miles of marching, a pastime Well suited to the young colony. Before the fire visited our nation we were fre- quent callers at the lodge of the girls where our languid youths reclined in cosy corners and listened to the babble of some fair hostess. Fond have we become of one another, meeting each other on a common ground, and delightful has become the companionship of congenial spirits, living thus together. V. Sports. As in all the other activities so in the pastime of the nationg although young, we had men fighting for their country on the gridiron in basketball and track. At basketball We gave the colonists a merry chase. Wfhen the nation needed a captain for baseball they called upon our sturdy leader to bring them to victory. In the pastimes of the colonies we have taken an active part and always in victory or in defeat We have shown ourselves, brave and true. Let us hope that the next three years may be as bright for the young colony as has been this. A VVe'll do our best and from our zest Success will surely come In all the years to come, my clears, Eleven will figure some. VV.T. G. 75 ACADEMY THE ACADE Y FACULTY. FRED LATIMER lrlixiusiir., Ph.

Wfe were then Freshmen, promising buds in embryonic state. But even in this stage evidences of future greatness were recognized in us, and much was expected of us by the faculty members. Nor did we disappoint them, as you shall see. It was really remarkable how skilled we became in 'fmaking connections in the psychology class. l scarcely need relate the surprise caused by our absence from Chapel on Arbor Day and as a consequence the great embarassment of the members of the Civic League. Surely no one has forgotten the picnic we gave to the graduating class last year. Wfhen the rain prevented our going outside, we showed ourselves equal to the occasion by transforming the gymnasium into a perfect woods and holding it there. Uur skill in handvvork and artistic taste were displayed in the crysanthe- mum chain which We made for the graduation processional last June, in which we were the center of attraction. Besides who has not heard of our wonderful talent for telling stories to children? Our fame in this art has spread to the uttermost parts of the classic village of Oxford and has commanded the comment of the faculty members as well as the patrons and children of the public schools. The public have uttered many flattering remarks about the elegant English the children are beginning to use since they are under our instruction. Our notebooks are a thing of beauty and a joy, forever. lt is a well- known fact that we always keep them up to date, ready to be handed in for inspection at any time. Who we are, and what we have already accomplished, has been but briefly hinted at. VVe trust however, sufficient has been said to suggest to you why the Ohio State Normal College is so proud of the Class of nineteen hundred and eight. E.

Forty-four members compose this illustrious class of which there are three men. It is needless to say that sombre Miami took on a brighter and more cheerful aspect due to the incoming of this Freshman class. lfVe surpass all other classes in quantity as well as quality. This has been proven by the fact that the faculty permits us to teach in our Freshman year instead of our Sophomore year, which has formerly been the custom. It would be difficult indeed for even Prof. Parker to describe in psychologi- cal terms our state of mind as we entered these historic doors. But after a few days we learned the confidence, which is the secret of the calm indifference and superior bearing of the upper-classmen. NVe have delved into the very depths of Indian, Greek and Roman mythology, and there is no doubt but what we will astonish the world with our brilliant knowledge of the hidden and for- gotten lore. Prof. Feeney will certify as to our ability to discuss all mathematical prob- lems from a pedagogical standpoint. Many of us who before have been organ- ically incapable of a tune, can now trill with much ease and harmony. The Librarian in looking over the magazines and finding pages missing here and there, wisely nods his head, muttering: Training note-books. Thus, we are marking out a path for, ourselves which no other class has trodden before, leaving guide-posts for the classes of the future. I-It L.

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the Main Building, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people that was in the campus trembled. 2. And Moses brought forth the people out of the campus to meet with the Spirit of Qld Miamig and they stood at the nether part of the campus. 3. And the campus was altogether on a smoke, because the Spirit of Qld Miami descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace and the whole campus quaked greatly. 4. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake and the Spirit answered him by a voice. 5. And the Spirit came down upon the campus, on the height of the cam- pus, and the Spirit called Moses up to the height of the campusg and Moses went up. ' 6. And the Spirit said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Spirit to gaze and many of them perish. 7. And let the faculty also, which come near to the Spirit, sanctify them- selves, lest the Spirit break forth upon themf' 8. And Moses said unto the Spirit: The people can not come up to the height of the campus, for thou charged us saying, Set bounds about the height and fortify it.' ' 1 9. And the Spirit said unto him: Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up: but let not the people nor the faculty through to come up unto the Spirit, lest he break forth upon them. 10. So Moses went down unto the people and spake unto them as, follows: 11. And the Spirit spake all these words, saying: p 12. 'I am the Spirit of the Historic Institution which has brought thee out of darkness and ignorance. Thou shouldst worship Old Miami first, of all places of learning. 94 13. 'Thou shalt not carry in thine heart any image or fond remembrance of any who dwell in Oxford College to the VVest, or in the VVestern College to the Southeastg for the girls of Hepburn Hall and the cottages are jealous girls and will hate thee unto the end of thy college days. 141.

'Remember the faculty regulations and respect the professor's opin- iong do not bluff, in class, for the way of the bluffer is .uncertaing neither shalt thou pony in the examinations. 18. 'Thou shalt not mar the campus with pathsg nor make an Indian reservation of the University grounds, for such is not the will of the Spirit of the Institution. 19.

Does she possess anything'which raises her above the common herd? She surely does! You ask what. It is with great pride and admiration that we trot out before your inquiring gaze the Senior Class Committee for Student Affairs. We said trot them out, but you will overlook the fact, we hope, that some of this committee travel with a snail-like pace. It is decidedly against their prin- ciples to move faster. The naughty under-classmen were becoming entirely too obstreperousg the Freshmen had no sense of inferiority, and in fact no other kind. In short, the Seniors were not being given the sort of worship which was their due, and the Senior Committee was put in charge to remedy this deplorable condition. And they did their work nobly-they did nothing, which was the best thing they could have done and, indeed, all we expectedcof them. The right honorable chairman of this distinguished body failed to come to the night-shirt parade, and it was a Hzzle, except from the standpoint of the water pitchers, wash bowls, etc., all of which did a rushing business. The work of any committee is to be good or bad, according to the per- sonnel of that committee, and right here is where this committee shone resplend- ent and far superior to anything of the kind which had ever been put on the market before. And why shouldnit it? Picked from the leading members of the ablest class in school, all of them worthy of a class presidency, but none of them getting it, except in the neck. And so these capable individuals united, side by each, bent themselves to the task of bringing order out of chaos. Handicapped by the laughing of the students when their names were read in chapel, hindered by a refusal of co-operation from a large majority of Miam- inites, yet they stuck to their task and as a result we have the Freshmen wearing green caps, the Sophomores don't smoke on the campus, the juniors are supreme in their sphere, while the Seniors-oh-h! their names are spoken with bated breath and bowed head. Every one gets off the walk when one of this genus comes along and the under-classmen drop on both knees when a member of the committee is sighted sailing in the distance. As a 'further compliment to their ability, we note with great pride that no kind of student stunt is carried off unless the Senior Committee Chairman and all is atlthe head of it. 96 Surely such an evolution is not brought to pass in many schools. Let us look a little further-perhaps we can find some one else who deserves a little leather medal for the splendiferous work of this committee. Upon close examination we find that the president of the Senior Class should be given about hfteen cents' worth of praise-wrap it up in two papers, please-for it was his keen, unerring judgment which picked out these committee members who did no work just as it was all intended. Now we have the committee, we have their labors ended, we have their uplifting influence upon the students of this historic institution, and is it not right that we should reward them some way-oh-now- go-on-don't try and work that leather medal gag. Andrew Carnegie is looking for worthy heroesg Hetty Green wishes to distribute a few kopecksg jawn Roclcyfeller has some extra shekelsg but let us hope that the labors of this committee were not spent in the hope of gain in filthy lucre, but that they toiled in the interest of 'Old Miami and go to join the ranks of the unthanked thousands.

The eight standing committees are, for the most part, divided into sub-committees, and an effort is made to have very girl who is a member of the Association be responsible for some part of the routineiof the organization. Thirteen classes in Bible study have been conducted this year, and five in Mission study. More than half the girls in school have been giving some amount each week for the support of the Association, whose budget this year has exceeded 330000. The social affairs have been Wholesome and delightful. The Association is conducted by the students for the students. and it is thoroughly democratic. 102 YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION CABINET K, Y. NI. C. A. 'if' 1' CABINET 1907-1908 ALPHEUS K.

Souers Finance-Stanley Moore A Wliile the work of our Young Menls Christian Association during the past year has fallen short of our expectations, yet the results have been most encouraging and the failure to reach our ideals has been the natural outcome of the circumstances under which we labored. Wie were seriously handicapped at the outset in having no general secretary, but with the untiring efforts of those in charge who felt the added responsibility, and with the financial, moral and religious support of the Board of Trustees. the Faculty, and student-body, all of whom have stood back of us most loyally.-every phase of the Asso- ciation work has been marked with no little success. Believing in the higher and better things of life, we have endeavored to bring wholesome and helpful Christian influence to bear upon every man in the University, and the response to our Christian appeals for a higher standard of morality and a more perfect manhood has been most gratifying. lfVe sin- cerely believe that the best life is the life containing the religious element. A studentls activities must embody a Christian motive if his life is to be one of progress. Acting upon these principles we have followed out two lines of procedure: First, the promotion of effectual study of missions and the Bibleg and secondly, in acquiring leaders for our Sunday meetings who brought the students face to face with the real problems and duties of the Christian life. Among our outside speakers have been, Elmer Yetton of the Cincinnati Association, who conducted our Bible study rallyg State Secretary Lichty, who also held profitable conferences with each committee of the Association. Among our leaders from the faculty have been Drs. DeVVitt. North, and Todd. The meeting led by Dr. Benton made the students feel the need of a deeper religious interest in their lives. The meetings led by students have been characterized by good practical talks and the helpful interchange of religious testimony. The attendance, While better than in former years is by no means our ideal. VVe. realize the many demands made upon students for time in these strenuous days of college life but We do not believe a student should sacrifice the needs of his spiritual nature first. P 104 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION CABINET The policy of the committee for Bible and mission study was to emphasize the former during the fall term, the latter during the winter. As a result the enrollment was larger than last year. The classes of the first term were as follows: Studies in the Life of Jesus Christ, led by Messrs. Dredge and Felsg Social Significance of the Religious Teachings of jesus, by Dean Minnichgg 'fAliens or Americansf' by A. K. Morris. The winter term was marked by still greater results. Nine courses were led as follows: The Bibleg 'What is it? by Dr. Toddg Social Evils of the Non-Christian Wforld, by Dr. Northg the Man Christ Jesus, by Prof. Feeneyg Aliens or Americans, by Mr. Morrisg Uplift of China. by Ohmer Minnich, India, by Mr. Dredge, japan and its Regeneration, by A. R. Meadeg Daybreak in the Dark Continent, Ralph Souersg Effective 'Wforkers in Needy Fields, by Mr. Fels. VVe cannot emphasize too strongly the benefits of systematic Bible and mission study. A new era has dawned and men everywhere are beginning to realize as never before that the embodiment in their lives of the principles as enumerated by the matchless Galileean, produces the real genuine man of worth and character. The chairman of the Social Committee and the effective workers deserve special commendation. Our social work began in meeting students at the trains, placing them in agreeable surroundings, and helping them to realize that they, too. were a part of the student-body. The Informal Stag , followed by the Joint Reception, enabled every student to become fully acquainted with the social life of the institution. The failure of the fall recital and the magician's entertainment to materialize was deeply regretted but due to no fault of the Social Committee. The Rubish County Fair and the Senior- Facultv Basketball game were two of the best events of the year. Plans for promoting the social work among the colored people and poorer elements of Qxford have been fully discussed and it is hoped that this unselfish spirit for the betterment of others may soon become more than a mere fancy or an idle dream. As for membership, we have about one hundred and twenty members. There are many men in the institution who fail to identify themselves with the Association. This we believe to be due to no lack of Christian manhood but rather to a spiritual indifference. lt is a dangerous thing to come to college and leave your religion at home. On the other hand, when the storm and stress of life is over, our sweetest and most precious remembrances of college will be those that concerned our spiritual being. ' The reading room of the Association has been as popular as ever. Among the periodicals found there are the Ohio State journal, Saturday Evening Post, Literary Digest, Association Men, Hamilton journal, and the Intercollegian. VVe hope in our new quarters in the auditorium to make this room one of the most attractive features of the Association. As for finance, the subscribers for the support of a general secretary were most loyal in following out the suggestion of paying half the pledged amounts. A secretary will undoubtedly be with us next year, and with his help we hope to make the Association a living reality in each and every student's daily activities' f , ' 106 Miami and the Year Nineteen Hundred Seven and Eight Addressing a large body of WVall Street business men from the steps of Trinity Church, Frederick Ingram, Lord Bishop of London, declared that possessions call for stewardship, ability for service. Then to his home people he said that nowhere is this responsibility so fully, truly, and happily realized as in America. During the past year, as never before, have commonwealths, municipalities, and individuals gladly given of their wealth to equip and main- tain schools and colleges, institutions peculiarly fitted to awaken and train these abilities and develop this realization of the vast responsibilities resting upon trained men. And as never before has the public come to recognize and demand of the men so trained,-men of keen intellect, hue judgment, and nice dis- crimination, of refined sensibilities and lofty ideals,-to demand, T say, the exercise of all these trained faculties for the good of society and the uplift of all the people. Upon no institutions rests more directly the responsibility for producing the kind of men demanded by the twentieth century world, than upon those fostered by the state. Academies and colleges maintained by private funds occupy proud positions and do noble work. But every whit their peers in position and effectiveness are the public schools and the state universities, rest- ing as they do on the basic principle that our duty to our brother is a matter not of condescension but of right and, indeed, in the language of the street, a paying investment. If this be so, every educational institution should render frequent account of all it has done in the common cause of making men. Vtfe, too, of Qld Miami, glorying in her wonderful past and in the achieve- ments of her illustrious sons, must stand and declare what she has done during the passing year by way of supplying this need of world workers and by way of enlarging and improving her equipment for the task. The most and best that a college does, never finds mention in the public print. The indefatigable labors of the faculties in research and instruction and character building-these are humdrum, everyday matters and attract too little attention to ensure frequent public mention. Spectacular discoveries or speeches are comparatively rare, and healthfully so. So, too, the students devote much the greater part of their time and energy to learning lessons and doing daily tasks, and these do not give rise to flaming headlines, but they are incre- ments of eternal truth .and added power. Most of the year nineteen hundred and seven and eight at Miami has gone quietly, and unostentatiously, but under the quiet surface has been the deep substratum of hard work-harder than ever before-of accession of knowledge and power and wisdom. There has never been a better year for this tranquil, successful pursuit of the true object of a college course, the pursuit of truth. Wie believe that this year is the best. May next year and those to follow be better and yet better. The tyro jumps up, looks out of the window, gossips with a friend between each two sentences, the sage devours the volume in that deep concentration which is oblivious of all surrounding distractions. It is certain that at Miami there is developing more and more each year this steady, concentrated, pur- poseful application, not merely as an ideal to be lauded and striven for, but 107 as a continual habit, a matter of course. Nor does this studious habit preclude the gayer happenings. Indeed, by this program, time is gained for plenty of indulgence in the joys and mirths which make our college days the happiest period of all our livesg and these in turn give recreation and buoyancy and zest for renewed application. Miami, by engendering this habit of steady self- controlled hard work, interspersed with hearty, purposeful play, is surely be- coming a great university, although it may never be a big one, by virtue of its conservation as a pure college of liberal arts, without the overwhelming and often obscuring presence of technical and professional schools. And with this habit of mind and will, will come that poise and breadth of view and judg- ment which will justify the years spent in Miami's halls as a proper prepara- tion for true and masterful living. Each year sees new courses offered, but the mental bill of fare is of that sustained and wholesome sort which abides. Tamales and caviar attract atten- tion on the card, but roast beef and wheaten bread make sound and strong bodies. And the changes in the courses of study are towards the eternal verities, ever deepening and ever expanding. Of faculty changes there have fortunately not been many. XR' e miss Pro- fessors Eckels, Hayes, Myers, and Phelan, old friends, tried and true. iWe rejoice that they are all finding health and prosperity in their new homes and fields of labor. To the head of the Greek department has come Professor Delflfittg Acting Professor North and Assistant Professor Todd have cared for the department of Economics and Sociology, while the courses in Music have been shared between Assistant Professor Burke, Miss Norris, and Miss Montgomery. Professor Stone has also been absent on leave during the year, and the work of Physical Training for the men has been done by Professor Hoopes, while the young women have for the first time had a director of their own in the person of Mrs. Hoopes. We regret our losses by removal, but feel that no backward steps have been taken in filling their places. Since the appearance of the last Recensio, death has twice entered the ranks of Miami's members. Tn june last, Mr. Nelson Saylor died at his home in Cincinnati. He was for thirty-two years a valued member of the Board of Trustees, and was a graduate of Miami with the class of eighteen hundred and fifty-seven. On the twelfth of October last, joe Stanley Emerson, of Bellefontaine, met instant death in an automobile accident. He was a member of the present Senior class, and the embodiment of high character, worthy purpose, buoyant hope, and genial good fellowship. t Our total enrollment, as shown by the current catalogue, is slightly less than that of last year. Yet Miami University has gained students. Behold the paradox and explain. Both the College of Liberal Arts and the Normal College show encouraging increases. There is a continued falling off in the Academy, as is to be expected as the Qhio high schools come to their own. Preparatory departments of colleges are generally esteemed to be expedients more or less temporary, not to militate against independent and self-contained secondary schools, public and private, with a safe and wholesome atmosphere of their own. The teaching of certain preparatory subjects is quite another mat- ter, which will doubtless long meet a justifiable demand. The number of stu- dents in the Summer Term of nineteen hundred and seven was less than in the preceding year, and in this wise. More students than ever before came and demanded regular collegiate courses. Those who desired review courses 108 in elementary branches are either acquiring the ability to pass the state exam- inations, or else chose to try pastures new in summer schools catering to their needs. Our summer session is swinging into line as a genuine summer term of the two colleges of Miami University. To be of the greatest service to the greatest number, and of the highest service to those qualified to profit thereby,- these are the aims of Miami, as of every strong college. Our material advancement during the year has been noteworthy. Un january fifteen, Hepburn Hall, the splendid home of the young women students, was burned. Although almost all the furniture and other contents were got out in safety, there were some instances of considerable loss. Yet there was not even an approach to fatality or personal injury, and the young women showed bravery and determination of the true sort, as is evidenced by the fact that not one withdrew from attendance on account of material losses. Lessons were interrupted for a brief half day. But the whole student-body became knit to- gether as never before in these latter days. The building is fast nearing com- plete restoration. with numerous improvements, safeguards and conveniences. ln the completion of the magnificent new Auditorium and Administration Building, Miami has entered upon a new era. Both the audience room and the suites of offices are beautiful in design, chaste in treatment, and perfect in detail. The large stage and hue organ open up new opportunities for us. The whole building forms a center of academic life and interests, and by its possession Miami has taken a great stride forward. The former Bishop Chapel, dear to the memories of countless former students, will remain, at least for the present, as Bishop Memorial Alumni Hall. The new Library building is an assured fact soon to be put into brick and stone. As the new building just described is the head, so is the library destined to be the heart of the New Miami. The prosperity of the various student enterprises will doubtless be re- counted by other pens. Miami has learned during the year to look upon its football team with pride unmixed with apologies. The youngest student organ- ization deserves mention. The Miami University Glee Club, made its bow during Dedication Week, and took at the outset high and permanent place in the affection and esteem of the university community. The Qld Miami was glorious. Shall not the New Miami make more glor- ious the glory that was hers? ARTI-I UR GRAHAM HALL. Kia we Lf i-Q 109 UI2IETIE5l Miami ratorical Association GFFICERS VV. G.

Recognizing the fact that inter-collegiate debating forms one of the essen- tials of the life and spirit of any up-to-date and live institution of learning and that it should be under the charge of an active and responsible organiza- tion, the Miami Gratorical Association was formed in Qctober, 1906. This body has complete charge over all inter-society, and inter-collegiate debates as well as over all Qratorical contests. The membership of the Association con- sists of the members of the Erodelphian and Miami Union Literary Societies. Its officers are a president and secretary-these not to belong to the same society. These officers are assisted in their work by the Director of Public Speaking and an executive committee which consists of two members from each of the societies. This year the Association has completed arrangements to send a man to Wooster to participate in the Ohio Inter-collegiate Oratorical contest. It has arranged for a triangular debate with Qhio and Cincinnati Universities. Qhio will send her negative team to Miami and Miami will send her negative team to Cincinnati, thus each college will have two teams on the field, one affirmative, which will in each debate remain at home, and a negative team which will go to the other institutions. All three debates will be on the same evening, Friday, April 24. The preliminary for the Oratorical contest will take place january 31. The, first preliminary for the debating teams will be February 7, when twelve men shall be chosen from the entire number participating. In the first preliminary, each man may speak for five minutes. Then on February 21, the second preliminary takes place from which the six 'Varsity debaters together with the alternatives will be chosen. The question for the debating preliminaries as well as for the debates proper is: Resolved, That American merchant marine should be encouraged by government aid. The inter-society debate will occur in the third term- the date not yet being set. The annual gold medal contest will come off dur- ing Commencement week. Both of these contests are under the charge of the Oratorical Association. 111 Miami Union 'i 1!f' MOTTO: Firman consensus tacit. COLORS: Red and VVhite. Fall Term SHERMAN RUSH .... A. VV.

MIAMI UNION LITERARY SOCIETY MIAMI UNION r The society was organized December 14, 1825, as the Union Literary Society. The purpose was stated in the first minutes as follows: For the cultivation of the moral and intellectual faculties of the mind, we on the 14th day of December, form a literary society for our mutual benefit. The first set of officers elected included a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treas- urer, two Censors and a Curator. The first President was Cornelius Clark. The fees were one dollar. The society met in Professor Annam's room-now used by the Department of Philosophy. The first question for debate was: VVould it be proper for Great Britain to aid the Greeks in their struggle for liberty F The society began to flourish both from a financial and literary standpoint. Fines were frequently imposed and it was nothing for a member to be hned a dollar for not returning a library book, or twenty-five cents for absence or misconduct. By means of the fines, fees and donations, the society built up by 1845 a library of nearly 2,000 volumes. Probably due to a financial crisis, part of the library was sold 'for a mere triiie. Other works were purchased later. Some were afterward placed in the University library and some still remain in the society hall. In 1827, the two societies, Union and Erodelphian, began publishing a monthly paper called the Literary Focus, which .afterwards was changed to a weekly. A cabinet in which to keep scientific collections was purchased in 1828. Public exhibitions were held annually. Diplomas were presented to their Senior members in a dignified speech by the President. Tn those early days strict order was maintained. Members were fre- quently brought to trial before the whole body in Court Session. In February, 1832, Samuel Allen was tried before such a court for having struck Herring D. Stephenson. He was found guilty and sentenced to receive a reprimand from the President. The sentence was carried out the following evening. Today we handle our members gingerly for fear of losing them. In 1837 there was a split in the society, the seceding branch calling itself the Miami Literary Society. ln March, 1839, a bill passed the state legislature incorporating the two societies into one body, the Miami Union Literary Society. VVe have no record of the society from 1839 to 1842, but in the latter year a constitution was adopted which remained in force until 1868. In the same year the society moved into its present quarters-forty years in the same hall. Until 1871 the membership varied from thirty to sixty-five. Among the list we find such men as Robt. C. Schenck, Samuel Galloway, XUilliamcG1-ovesbeck, Williaiii Dennison, John Noble, Milton Saylor, David Swing, Benjamin Harri- son, Dr. S. C. Ayres, Charles H. Fisk, Samuel Hunt, Eugene H. Bundy, Tohn B. Elam, Henry B. McClure, Francis M. Coppock, Iefferin Claypool. A large part of their success is due to their training in the famous old literary hall. The society was re-organized 1885, and after a period of weakness has entered upon 'an era of prosperity. Our enrollment this year is forty members and a greater literary interest is manifest than at any time since its re-organi- zation. Miami Union Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Miami Union Rah! Rah! Rah!

This worthy organization is the Erodelphian Lit- erary Society. Through the trials and triumphs of Miami's past history, the Erodelphian has ever maintained her identity. Always looking toward the highest and the best, this society has still preserved her noble motto: Scientia, Eloquentia, Amicitia'A-untarnished by over eighty years of brilliant existence. The Erodelphian on November 4, 1825 first the work of the us monotonous. The sole judge and often question, for the next Literary Society was founded, as a secret organization Taylor VVebster having been elected first president. At society presented little variety and might even seem to entire program consisted of debate, the chair acting as rendering a decision of equality. At each meeting the meeting, was chosen. But the progams developed, decla- mation and composition, having been introduced from time to time. All the while the society grew and flourished, for, in those days, students were un- acquainted with the composite existence which we now call student life and to them, the literary society was at once a sufficient social and intellectual factor. And so the Erodelphian constantly pressed forward into new lines of lit- erary activity. A library was begun which numbered in 1828 four hundred and seventy-five volumes, an exceptional collection for that time. The library has since increased greatly. The society also published two monthly papers in conjunction with the Miami Union Literary Society, The Focus, and f'The Literary Register? The Erodelphian continued for many years in prosperity until the University began to wane after the civil war. At last when the Uni- versity closed its doors in 1873, the Erodelphian became defunct. During this period, however, a literary society was organized in the preparatory school, which was called the Erodelphian, but this has never been recognized as the University Erodelphian. VVith the re-opening of the College of Liberal Arts in 1885, the Erodelphian Literary Society was revived and it 'has continued active down to the present day. Turning, now to the record of this year, we find it to have been one of especial activity. Good attendance and marked enthusiasm have characterized all its sessions. The interest manifested in debate and oratory is rapidly on the increase. Cf the eight men who passed the first preliminary contesting for the 'Varsity debating team, four were Erodelphian members: Mr. Fels, Mr. O. C. Minnich, Mr. Pickrel and Mr. Harrell. In the past the Erodelphian has never failed to meet all social and intellectual requirements of college life as is attested by her distinguished Alumni. And it is safe to predict that in the Miami of tomorrow, the Erodelphian will con- tinue to add new names to her already lengthy roll of eminent men. ' D. E. MINNICIT, '1O. i 116 ERODELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Pierian Literary Society fi' Q' VVHAST CAN WCMAN DD? She can do many things and those that are worth while. At least so the Normal students have shown by organizing a society that means much to those who attend. Early in the College Year of 1903-301, the Normal students began to feel the need of a society that would be instrumental in bringing the girls together, in order that they might know better their classmates. Various suggestions were offered which convinced the students more and more of the need of a common center about which and for which all could work. The same feeling existed among the faculty members. VV hat will be the nature of this society asked everyone? Shall it be literary, social or what ?', A few favored a social club, but a great majority expressed a desire to have the literary, and social combined. Greatly encouraged by the faculty the students met November 6, 1903, for the purpose of organizing a literary society. Prof. Feeney acted as temporary chairman and a committee of five was appointed to draw up a constitution. After much strenuous labor the constitution was submitted and duly approved. This organization was named the Pierian Literary Society. At first meetings were held every two weeks, but finding that much more and better work could be accomplished if the meetings were more frequent, they decided to meet on Friday night of every week of the school year. Here- tofore the evening's entertainment consisted of a miscellaneous program. This plan was followed until the first term of this year, when it was found that a change was needed. VVhat should it be? Again the faculty members came to the rescue and the following plan was decided upon: The society was divided into two groups 5 one given entirely to the study of literature, the other to current history, the members to choose their group to their own liking. The groups meet separately the fore part of the evening and come together later for a business meeting. In the Hepburn Hall fire of January 15, 1908. the Pierian suffered the loss of its secretary book, containing the only copy of the revised constitution and by-laws. Wfhile literature and history are very prominent in our work, the social is not entirely forgotten. Under the direction of a chosen committee functions are given which afford great amusement and contribute to the pleas- ure and interest of the society. 118 PIERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Liberal Arts 'Club M ini' MEMBERSHIP OF LIBERAL ARTS CLUB Arminta Baughman Margaret Bridge Lorena Beard VVinifred Marie Colvin Addie H, Elliott Claire V.

So many now have been honored by having their names placed on our mem- bership roll that Dr. Hepburn's office, our old haunt, fails to meet the demands and frequently chairs must be imported from foreign regions to furnish seating capacity. Changes have come about. The old constitution long since. was found to be inadequate and has been revised and altered, until it scarcely resembles its former self. Reformation has taken place also, in the matter' of programs. Formerly these appeared as written documents, posted on the bulletin board, exposed to the gaze of the disinterested throng, now. early in the Fall term, -each member is handed a neat, aristocratic, little booklet of programs, to be treasured by her throughout the year and referred to from time to time. The programs this year, have followed one general line of thought, divided into three divisions: VVoman-lin the Home, in Civics, in Philanthropy. Many beautiful homes have been furnished throughout in the minds of the girls, and the influence of women in civics, and in their works of philanthropy have been brought before the club. The discussions, to a large extent, have been original and all very interesting. From time to time we have been favored by talks from members of the faculty. 120 LIBERAL ARTS CLUB DEBATING TEAM PCR 1906-7 V MEAD COLBURN, Captain MOHLER TRIMPE, Alternate INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATING TEAM FOR 1906-'07 Represented Miami at Depauw, May 28, 1907 ' QUESTION Resolved, That the power of the individual states constitutes a better means of reform than the power of the federal government.

Her two great rivals, Alpha Delta Phi and Psi Upsi- lon, founded but little more than a decade before, had established a flourishing chapter at Yale and were disputing for supremacy in the north and east. Both had attained strong positions in ten or a dozen of the leading institutions found in the contested field. One only, the Alpha Delta Phi, had gone without the pale and placed chapters in the West-at Miami in 1835 and at Vifestern Reserve in 1847. At the coming of Delta Kappa Epsilon she met her rivals face to face on their vantage ground. She carried the conquest into the open field. She planted her arms not only in the North and East, but in the South and West as well. She became the great national fraternity. Before the first ten years of her history had closed she had instituted chapters in nearly all of the leading insti- tutions of the East, had thriving chapters in the six great colleges of the South, and had directed her march to the West. Chapters were placed in three superior institutions of that section. Ohio claimed two of them, Kappa at Miami, es- tablished in 1852, and Lambda at Kenyon, established the same year. Miami University had been established a third of a century before. She was now in her early prosperity, her halls teemed with students from the adja- cent states. Her past had been glorious, her present was prosperous, and her future could not be other than promising. By such institutions 'Delta Kappa Epsilon sought and won. In March, 1852, The Immortal Six, as they were christened, having severed by a spirit of independence and self assertion, the bond that joined them to the parent chapter of one of the western fraternities, became with one exception, the founders of Kappa Chapter. The spirit of 'indiyidualityi' which marked its establishment and which was the peculiar characteristic of Kappa Chapter ever afterward, asserted itself in a notable degree, when in 1858, six of the twelve members composing the Kappa Chapter, formally withdrew, and founded the Alpha Chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity. The Loyal Six under the wise and discreet direction of VVhitelaw Reid, bore the standard of Kappa Chapter into the highway of a prosperous career that was honorable to the fraternity. Kappa's roll continued to be illuminated with the names of youths-brave and true-who now-in the lapse of years- are distinguished by the positions of worth and trust they hold. Her proud 131 record remained unbroken until the close of the University in June, 1873. The massive gates of Kappa, with their great hinges, closed only with the closed doors of Miami University. In 1855, after a suspension of more than half a score of years, Miami again opened her doors for collegiate work. A complete re-organization was effected. Once more the Old College assumed its place among the institutions of the VVest. Success and prosperity assured, the alumni of Kappa Chapter set about to re-establish Delta Kappa Epsilon at Miami. To this end, acting on the advice of Hon. Calvin S. Brice, '63, and Samuel F. Hunt, '64, the fraternity in the forty-third convention, assembled at Boston, Mass., October 16 and 17, 1889, unanimously granted the petition for a renewal of the charter of Kappa Chapter. On the evening of December 20th, The Original Sevenf, who com- posed the petitioners, were formally initiated by a delegation of alumni members of the fraternity. Then the lambent Hameof Kappa's glory burst forth, the old songs were sung with great jubilee, and a new era was begun. The future of the chapter is yet to be recorded. Its members include the best men of the University. Years of active work prove their strength. That they have conducted the chap- ter along right lines is shown by its present prosperity. Such, in brief, is the story of Delta Kappa Epsilon-of her existence for over sixty-four years. Her founders builded better than they knew. Tn college life, of which the University system has become an inherent part, Delta Kappa Epsilon is a leader. But it is not in this, nor in the long lists of her sons, dis- tinguished in all the walks of life, nor in the magnificence of her chapter lodges, nor in the grandeur of her clubs, nor in the array of scholastic honors and laurels won in after life, that her glory is, but rather in the engendering and development of that spirit and of that standard of fraternal fellowship which can mould into one harmonious whole the ideas, the thoughts, the desires of its component parts, and thus make the ideal brotherhood. .Z G? w -Q 1 ff Eff!

Six of the members of the chapter-Thomas C. Bell, James P. Caldwell, Daniel VV. Cooper, Benj. P. Runkle, Isaac M. jor- don and Franklin H. Scobey did not consider the proposed candidate qualified for the ofhce and refused to vote for him. The other six members Were strongly in favor of the candidate and the result was a deadlock, the trouble nnally ending in the withdrawal of the six members named above. A few days later, these, together with VVilliam A. Lockwood, formed a new fraternity, Sigma Phi. Several months later the name was changed to Sigma Chi. The iirst branch established by the parent chapter was at Qhio VVesleyan University.. and the first biennial convention was held by the two chapters at Cincinnati, June 28, 1857. Tn 1858 Alpha Chapter became inactive, for that year was one of decline for Miami University, and the members of Alpha did not deem it worth while to continue the chapter. During the next thirty-three years there was no chapter of Sigma Chi at Miami'University, but in 1892 the local chapter was revived by W7illiam F. Stubbs, james E. McSurely, Sidney S. McClintock, Edward P. Robinson, lVil- liam H. Nutt. Wfilliam C. Stevenson and Charles C. Adams, and now exists under its former name of Alpha. 137 Phi Delta Theta Fraternity OHIO ALPHA 'CHAPTER OF PHI DELTA THETA H I Founded at Miami, 1848 .fa Q FLOVVER : White Carnation COLORS : Argent and Azure Q W YELL lj fb .

This first meeting was held in a room in the old North Dormitory. Owing to the spirit of hostility toward such organizations, the early years of the fraternity were secret. ' The following year after the founding of the fraternity the first charter was granted to establish a chapter in another school. This charter was granted to the chapter at Indiana University, October 11, 1849. Since this first chapter was chartered the fraternity has become national in extent and is also repre- sented in Canada. At present there are seventy-one active chapters. Ghio Alpha has suffered the same fortunes of her Alma Mater. In 1857, owing to the critical period before the Civil war, the chapter was suspended, to be revived again in 18G5g then the suspension of the University caused the suspension of the chapter in 1873g since its last revival in 1885, it has been continuous to the present time. -f 3 If , 7 eff 142 PHYSICS LABORATORY shop WORK-DEPARTMENT OF MANUAL ARTS 143 Beta Theta Pi Fraternity PRESENT' MEMBERSHIP Bon 1908 Murray Sheehan I 1909 .

These meetings were informal, for we have no record of their pro- ceedings. The minutes B1'S'C recorded are those of August 8th, 1839. Under the old laws, Alpha was presiding chapter during 1847 and '18 From 1850 to 1852 and 1873 to 1886 the chapter was inactive, the latter being due to the closing up of the University after the close of the Civil war. How- ever, the chapter was never withdrawn, and by the efforts of I. N. Brown of AA, the chapter was re-established -at the re-opening of the school. ln connection with the commencement exercises of .lune 19, 18853, the semi- centennial was celebrated. Dr. A. D. Hepburn, Jefferson '51, gave an address of welcome. Two founders, Knox and Marshall, were present and both spoke of the fraternity's life and growth. The Hon. john W. Herron, being president of the national fraternity, presided over the meeting. In the afternoon, Miss Lelia McKee, a wearer of the badge and at that time principal of the Wfestern Seminary, gave a reception at the Wfestern Halls. In the evening a banquet was held. The occasion was marked by the selection of the rose as the Beta emblem -each chapter selecting its own species. The original Beta rose bush, from which the roses for the semi-centennial banquet were plucked, is located at the southwest corner of the porch at the main building of the Wfestern. On May 13, 1890, the Hrst fraternity flag ever flown was unfurled over the main building of Qld Miami, under the auspices of BCEJH. The total member- ship of Alpha Chapter is now two hundred and eighty-nine, while the fraternity at large has grown to nearly flfteen thousand strong, having seventy chapters in all. Although originated in the midst of the greatest difficulties and almost insurmountable obstacles, B011 has grown to be one of the greatest of American college fraternities. i .

Pri- marily, it owes its existence to a desire on the part of the charter members to make more fast and abiding their friendship, but later the benefits of a strong fraternal society were realized and the pledges of friendship were sealed by the vows of a secret organization. The year 1903-Ol was spent in the sub-rosa state. During commencement week of 1904, the charter members, with four others who had been admitted, first appeared in public wearing the purple and white. Quite naturally for a band of men thus daring to take upon themselves the honorable name of Greeks, there was opposition from some quarters and approbation from others. Despite opposition, however, its growth and increase in strength has been steady and constant from the very first to the present time, and never for a moment has its existence been seriously menaced. In the year 1904-O5 fraternity headquarters were fitted up in one of the rooms of the south dormitory and four more members were admitted. The next year the fraternity was strong enough financially and numerically to seek dif- ferent quarters. Accordingly it secured and took possession of a house on Church street, which has since been its home. ' The total membership of Delta Rho since its inception is thirty-five. The charter members have all become alumni of Miami and are acquitting them- selves creditably in the work they have taken up. Mr. Liming is professor of history at Todd's Seminary, lllinoisg Mr. Pattison, professor of physics at Ashtabula, Mr. Dilley, principal of Bluffton High School: Mr. Rodabaugh is connected with Libby-McNeil as commercial travelerg Mr. Todd expects to enter Case next fall, Mr. Gries takes his Ph. D. at Columbia this spring, and Mr. Boring is head of the Spanish Department at Miami. Though not having inter-collegiate connections, Delta Rho strives to pro- mote by strong fraternal ties the fullest realization and greatest benefit from college life for its men, and to reflect in all directions the worthy ideals to which she clings. Keeping ever in mind character and scholarship as the first requisites, her aim has been to maintain a membership representative of all worthyicollege activities and composed of straight, all-round men. Her members at the present are to be found 'in athletics of all kinds, in musical organizations, and in society, while in Y. M. C. A. circles and literary work her men are especially active. ' As withall similar organizations. Delta Rho has had during these hrst five years of her existence her joys and her sorrows, her difficulties and her successes, her besetments and her triumphs. Throughout all, though, her men have maintained a respectful attitude and a sincere devotion to the ideals which they seek to promote. Looking backwards, she can truthfully say that she has fulfilled the hopes of her founders. Private enterprises of difficulty and importance have been undertaken and accomplished. Never has she had difficulty in keeping her membership up to the standard, and at no time has her steady growth been impaired. lrler past has been highly successful, her present is the most prosperous period in her history, and judging bv the past and by the character of the men in whose keeping she is entrusted at the present, her future will be no retrogression. i 152 all My 1, .Y V : - I '19, , . -Z -V, X-1,7 K , BRICE SCIENTIFIC HALL HERRON GYMNASIUM FLOWER Plnk Carnauon COLORS Rose Punk and Seal Brown Ethel Goff Helen Howell Belnlce Punsmg Lyclm Wllgus Mary YfVoocl Arnnnta.

ALPHA GAMMA, CHI 'SORORITY - Some First Impressions - i I I of a' Freshman i ' i 'fAh! here it is dadf' said Richard, with satisfaction, as he turned the pages of the catalogue he was holding, Eh-h-. 'The average student can easily live on 3200 a year, while many obtain a college course on a yearly expenditure of 3150,-so you see, dad, itis not expensive, and I read some- where else that a spirit of democracy prevailed among the students. Yes, I think I will go to this place and try it, anyhowf, Thus it came about that Mr. Richard Brice, jr., alighted at the small station in the classic village of Hampton, one january evening, just after dark. I-Ie knew nothing of directions, and since it was late and he was anxious to get up to the university and find a place to sleep, he approached two well- dressed young gentlemen and asked to be directed to the university. .Une of the young persons thus addressed, with a sly wink at his com- panion, turned toward the questioner and said: Sure, glad to tell you where the ,Varsity is. I'd go with you myself, but I'm waiting for a friend. You take this street herei'-pointing with his hand- and go one blockg then turn to your left and follow that street for a block, that is, till you come to a large brick building. Go in there and ring, and when someone comes to the door, ask for the Dean. That person will give you your instructions. Thanking them gratefully, Dick did as he was directed, not hearing the subdued chuckle of his guide. Coming to the 'large brick building, he rang the bell, and being admitted, asked for the Dean. Soon a rustling of skirts announced the approach of someone, and imme- diately a stately, dignified woman appeared. Seeing him she approached, and with much dignity, said, Eh-h-do you-a-wish to see me?,' Dick won- dered why a woman should be sent to him, and said, stammering with a little embarrassment, No-well a-that is, I wish to see the Dean. 'HI am shef' replied the woman with increasing dignity. Wfondering still more, Dick man- aged to state that he was a new student and would like to have his room. XVell-eh-I think-eh-that you have-a-mistaken the place, said the woman, with a little surprise, or-a- with a gleam in her eye, have been -a-misdirected. This is Hampton College for VVomen. Witli a confused and somewhat shamefaced air, Dick begged her pardon, and with a little more haste than was absolutely necessary, made his departure. Luckily, just as he was emerging he met a young man carrying a suit case, and asking him for directions, was taken to what his guide called the 158 dorm. It seemed to Dick as if he were entering a barn, so bare were the corridors. His friend, whom he soon learned was' called Templeton, knocked at one of the many doors opening off of the corridor, and was bidden to enter. A shout of welcome greeted him as he did so. Hello, Temp, old boy! How are you? f'VVhen did you get back? Did you have a good vacation? Dick thought, as he saw the bunch of fellows giving his new acquaintance such a warm reception, that here indeed was the spirit of democracy and friendship. After being introduced to the fellows, Dick, at his own request, was directed to his room, and departed, leaving Templeton to the welcome of his friends. He found his room better than he had anticipated, and after arranging it to suit hisitaste, climbed into bed. Arising the next morning, he set out to see what he could of the town and the University. As he wandered on along the red -brick pavement, he was filled with pleasure to see the great trees, which covered the campus. Here and there he saw some with labels, telling the passerby the variety of tree he was looking upon. Humph,'i grunted Dick. Reckon those are for some city duck who can't tell the difference between an apple tree and a fence postf' Passing on, he crossed the campus by means of a diagonal walk of very much worn red brick, and finally found himself upon what he judged to be the main street of the town. As he was somewhat hungry he thought that he would continue his wan- derings and see what sort of a restaurant the classic village possessed. He had not proceeded more than a square when he came to a good-sized brick building, upon which were printed in large letters over the doorway, Town Hall and Fire Departmentf' It was, no doubt, the old city hall and fire station, for standing in front, as if it had been recently in use, was an engine of minute proportions, which looked as if it might, perhaps, do a little damage to a small-sized fire. As Dick looked at it he finally came to the con- clusion that it must be a small-sized reproduction of the steam pumping engines found in most good fire departments. Looking across the street he encountered the single-eyed gaze of a tall, stately-looking gentleman, with a white mustache and goatee. This person was standing upon the narrow veranda of a long, rambling structure of wood. ,On one cornerof this building Dick's eyes were caught by the sign, The Grenarde Hotel. So that's the hotel, is it?'i thought Dick. VVell, if my father comes down here, sometime in the course of human events, T think I'll give him half of my bed. Crossing the street he found that he was in what might be called in most towns, the business section. On either side of the street the houses were huddled closely together, forming an irregular wall of store fronts. Their arrangement and style made Dick think of the prints he had seen of the old colonial villages. 159 Glancing up the street before him he saw two men busily engaged in what he thought a very spirited conversation. As he approached, he noticed that they stood in front of a small bakerls shop. As he passed them he over- heard a bit of the conversation. Yes, one was saying, that was a bad fire, but what was the matter with your sonls fire department? Ach,', said the other, in the accents of a German, heferypody vants to gif orders, und vat in the i kin you do, anahow, in ein down uff niggers und students ?H Dick did not know exactly what to make of the last remark, for, accord- ing to his notion, a college town was usually largely supported by the student population. But he found later that not only the little German baker was of the opinion that a town of Hniggers and students was in a precarious con- dition, but others held to the same idea. He passed on, when all at once his attention was riveted upon an extra- ordinary looking individual, making its way up the middle of the street. It somewhat resembled a man, and with its head bowed a little as if in deep thought, its hands clasped behind its back, which was bent slightly forward, it meandered on up the road, mumbling incoherently to itself. Dick won- dered what sort of a human being it was, and turning, he stared after it until it had passed out of sight over the hill. ' He then resumed his journey, passing candy shops and grocery stores until he came upon a large wooden Indian maiden standing upon a pedestal. Her arm was outstretched and in her hand she offered the passerby a good-sized bunch of wooden cigars. Glancing at this beautiful image again, he saw that inside one might procure fine Black Spot cigars for only five cents. As he peered through the window to see what manner of shop this might be, he discovered that inside one might purchase a shave, a smoke or a shine. He was enticed with the idea of a good morning shave, and stepped inside. A new chair looked pretty good to him, so he climbed in and called for a shave. A tall, spare young man stepped up, and after selecting a razor and strop- ping it to suit his taste, fell to work with a will. It was undoubtedly with a will, for Dick concluded, after the first few swaths had been mowed, that his friend, the barber, was quite a muscular gentleman, who decidedly preferred to remove whiskers by the grubbing method, rather than the good old-fash- ioned way of cutting them. But, although Richard was very much engaged in the actions of his tormentor, he nevertheless had opportunity to overhear a few remarks passed by the proprietor of the establishment on the difference in business during the summer and winter months. 'Wliy,l' said that gentlemen, 'fmy trade isn't as good in winter, when the school is in session, as it is in summer, when the students go home. Students don't help my business none. To prove this statement, a student entered, bought several things and paid a bill, after which he sat down in a chair and asked to be shaved. Some- 160 time afterward the farmer to whom the estimable proprietor had addressed his remarks, slowly lighted his pipe, and sitting down behind the stove, buried himself in the morning paper. Dick, however, as soon as possible, extricated himself from the enticing grasp of the chair, and walked out, a sadder but wiser man. Strolling on he passed a few more stores and the postoffice, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant, upon the window of which he read, in flaming red and yellow letters, the name of the proprietor. Since he was quite hungry, he decided that he, would have breakfast, so opening the door he walked in. He found himself in a somewhat narrow room, lined on one side by a row of tables, and on the other by a lunch counter. Behind this counter beamed the face of its genial owner, who inquired after his wants. He was supplied with what he desired, and while eating was uncon- sciously relieved of the information that he was a new student, that his name was Richard Brice, Ir., and he had come to the University as a Freshman. When he had finished he looked at his watch and found that it was nine o'clock, so, paying his bill, he started back to the University to register and begin his life of a democratic student in the old historical institution. He had not progressed more than a square when he was taken in tow by a dapper looking young man, who inquired after him as if he were very deeply interested in Dickis welfare. W7 ith him Dick went through the trials of a registration, conducted by a few to accommodate many in a small room. And to the tender mercies of this same young gentleman, we will leave him to go through the perilous journey which stares all Freshmen in the eye as they enter a University for the first time. H. B. H., '10, Q Q THE ONLY DOPPELGANGER LIVING 161 THE NCRTI-I DORIVI SENATE It was in the college year of 1902-3 that Miami was first graced by this well-known institution of finjjustice. It was in the same year that Dr. Benton came out of the Wfest and took charge of affairs at Miami. VV'hen he saw how well the affairs of the North Dorm were administered, he at once organ- ized a University Senate on the same pattern, and it has been patterning after our institution ever since. , Qrignally the Senate had for its chief object the task of keeping the faculty guessing as to what would happen next. ln the maintenance of this high ideal the larder of the University lnn suffered, and many a farmer's chicken-coop lost its inhabitants-not to mention more mysterious affairs. Many an unsophisticated Freshman has learned the error of his way at the hands of this illustrious body, and always to the gf?-Sl'l'l.C profit of the Sena- tors, who have a well-developed taste for pie. The deliberations of this body are secret, and as a result many false reports have crept out, some of which must here be corrected. I It is no longer the custom to visit the neighboring farms, nor to raid the larder of the Tnn, since the farmers keep lusty bulldogs and the Tnn has locked and barred its windows. The Senate of late years has devoted its attention exclusively to the training of Freshmen and Preps. The statutes of the Senate and the learned decisions of its Superior Judges have come in time to fill several large volumes. The Clerk's reports have not been compiled for fear they should come under the envious eyes of the Univer- sity Senate-though they might well serve as a model to that body, and would most certainly make interesting reading. VVhenever anyone inhabiting the Dorm is guilty of any flagrant crime against our statutes, such as washing more than once a day, studying more than two hours a day. attending religious services other than those required, wearing a mustache or otherwise offending the dignity of the Senators, they are speedily arraigned before the bar of the Senate, where, contrary to report, a fair trial is given. Attorneys are provided the prisoner free of charge-it need not be said that it is the business of these attorneys to see that the prisoner is not acquitted. Since the passage of the anti-hazing law in 1907, the activities of the Senate have been somewhat modified, for fear that its motives might be misconstrued. But recently it has been discovered that the law applies only to student victims, and at a recent executive session it was decided to devote attention in the future to faculty members who may seem to need the ministrations of the Senate. 162 HON T A.

In addition to the members of the Club and their guests, there were several representatives of the faculty presentg members of the faculties of the Vlfestern College and Oxford 'College accom- panied the young ladies invited from those two' institutions. A Director Burke presided as toastmaster at the banquet. There were tive toasts: HThe Crlee Clubfl Mr. L. XV. Swang l'The First Tenorsf' Mr. Otto Fisherg The Second Tenorsf' Mr. Richard Ionesg The Barytonesf' Mr. Harold Hitch- cockg The Second Basses, Mr. Murray Sheehan. After the toasts, Dr. Min- nich gave a short but very interesting talk, and the Glee Club rendered the following pieces: The VVinter Songf, Bullardg Kentucky Babe, Giebel, and A Summeris Lullaby, Gibson. The event was a complete success from beginning to end. Although a dress affair, it was not stiff in the least, and the banquet was thoroughly enjoyed by all who were present. 166 THE I-IOIVIE CONCERT OE THE MIAMI GLEE CLUB One of the most enjoyable social features of the Wiiitei' Term was the hrst annual concert of the Miami University Glee Club. rendered in the new auditorium during Dedication Week. The program consisted of three parts. In the first part the Glee Club appeared in evening dress and sang their more formal selections. After a short intermission the curtain rose, showing a stage arranged for a very pretentious orchestra. One by one, then, straggled in the various mem- bers of this orchestra, clad in ridiculous costumes. Last of all entered the far-famed Doctor Erom Boghazzivitch, of Nijni Novgorod, the director of the Royal Mosdok Orchestra. A tap of the baton and the great orchestra began to pour forth all its melodious grandeur in the greatest of all musical productions, Romberg's Kinder Symphonief' Movement after movement, until, with one sweeping climactic Presto, the music came to an end. For a moment the audience sat spellbound, then burst into rapturous applause. In the last portion of the program the Glee Club appeared in white caps, black coats and white trousers, and in an entirely informal manner, presented a charming group of college songs. The final number on the program was the new Miami March Song. composed by Prof. R. H. Burke, Director of the Glee Club. PROGRAM. PART I. 1. VVinter Song .... ......... . . .Bullard 2.

The organization is made up of upper- classmen interested in this line of work, and not exceeding twenty in number. The League is non-partisan in aim and membership, and its purpose is a study of public affairs, the increasing of student interests in the duties of citizenship and raising the standards of public life in the United States. Regular meetings are held monthly, and occasional open meetings, at which some distinguished speaker is to address the League and its friends are planned. D. C. S. O FFICERS. ......President D. C.

The membership consists of two kinds: active and associate. The active membership is made up of the two professors in Chemistry and the Senior Chemistry students, while the associate membership consists of all those chem- istry students below Senior rank who are interested in the field of chemistry. Each man is assigned work along the line upon which he intends to do graduate work. He reports every two weeks upon this. Prof. Hughes has cliaige of the current literature. Prof. VVhitcomb has been giving an interest- ing and instructive series of lectures on radio-activity. It will be rnade a credit course for all Senior chemistry students next year. The organization of such a club also shows the livelv interest Prof. Hughes as V .i S and Prof. Vlfhitcomb take in the welfare of their students. in ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP Prof. R. M. Hughes Charles C.

Wfilliams and Davis, a number of the students who are interested in Zoology have met at 6:30 on alternate Tuesday evenings in the Seminar room of Brice Hall. In view of the projected Natural History Survey of the State of Ohio each member, as far as possible, has taken some limited group of animals to collect in an especial Way and thus extend our knowledge of the- rapidily disap- pearing primeval fauna of Ohio. The meetings have been entirely informal with programs which have led to general discussions and stimulated to further Work. The club is especially fortunate in that Dr. Davis has for years past, as a teacher and resident naturalist, observed' the environment of animals of the Pacific Coast and has given much valuable comparative information in dis- cussing our local life history.

Wfe have here partial student control of stu- dent taffairs. In order to secure proper representation in the various student activities, and in order that the students composing this association. might act as a unit in various matters, this federation was formed. It is not an arbitrary organization. It makes no attempt to force any one to act contrary to his judgment. lt believes in the selection of a man for office on his merits and not because of any pull, The association stands for clean politics. By this it does not mean necessarily the absence ot electioneering or any fair, open means of placing a candidate in office. but, as stated above, choice on merits. It further believes that every student and every part of the student-body should be represented on the various boards and committees, but does not believe that any organization should try to control elections in a merely partisan spirit. The Association harbors no ill-feeling toward any one. It believes in a square deal to all, in an equal chance in all student activities, in democracy and equality, and in the universal brotherhood of 111311. As a body it sees no rea- son for feeling inferior or of secondary importance in character, in scholarship, in athletic attainments-in all that goes to make up the ideal man. Above all, the Association believes in Miami, her past, present and future, her spirit and her ideals, her hopes and aspirations and its loyalty to Old Miami will never be called in question. 186 A ., LJ BM , ,, N y Sanklbemnagte GQMTQ S11 The Annual Class Contest his T The annual class contest in previous years has been a matter of secrecy until the date of occurrence. This year the Student Council, with the con- currence of the faculty, devised a series of three contests for the Freshmen and Sophomores and fixed October seventh as the date. I The contest co-nsisted of a pole rush to last no longer than one hour and to begin at eight o'clock in the morningg a rope pull of three trials to occur at ten-thirtyg and a game of Association Football to occur at two-thirty in the afternoon. The Freshmen host was well marshalled by Blythe and each Freshie ap- peared vvith red and green stripes painted on the back and front of their shirts. Promptly at twenty minutes of eight, Blythe hoisted the red pennant bearing 1911, and nailed it to the top of the pole. This year, in contrast with former years, the pole was but 12 feet high. As the Freshmen surrounded the pole the Sophs came upon the scene marching in regular order and singing There's a hole for the Freshmen. Friendly cheers and yells were interchangedg and iss F with them derisive roasts were delivered with much gusto. At eight o'cloclc the umpires shut away the crowd by a rope, and Prof. Hughes as referee, fired the pistol shot as a signal to begin. All eyes were now eagerly watching the contestants. The Freshmen were in solid formation around the pole and their flag floated jauntily to the breeze about six' feet above' their heads. The Sophs came charging on with a shout and fell into the wedge formation, so famous of the year before, and put their heavy weight, Brower, at the head of the wedge. Right here the Freshies were misled. They expected the same tactics as in previous years and they received something different. The Sophs made one desperate charge, ramming the point of their wedge far into the mass of Freshiesabout the poleg at the same time Wfhiteq from the rear. hurdled both Sophs and Freshies and engaged Blythe in a scuffle. Then came Hitchcock, and Blythe kept them both busy. The third hurdler, Basler, came up and after two or three attempts succeeded in pulling down the Freshman Hag and the contest was won by the Sophs. The whole affair lasted but one minute and the Freshies were entirely disconcerted by such a sudden victory, and threats of dire vengeance were cast about. The Sophs betook themselves to rest and while so a valiant Freshie, Smith by name, thought it a good stunt to paint the unguarded pole with the Freshman colors. I-le succeeded fairly well until he came in contact with Har- rel, a lusty Soph, who very nicely employed jiu-Jitsu and bowled him over and over. VVhile this was occurring the crowd gathered near. Suddenlv A 189 Freshman Kinder took a hand in daubing and throwing paint and the visitors, with hasty thanks, declined to further witness the scene and withdrew to points of safety. VVhen the contest had subsided, McHenry had been disqualified, some slugging had been indulged in, and Kinder, Krickenberger and Harrel Were painted ready for an Indian war dance. During the following interval the Visitors and upper-classmen were en- joying the old-fashioned game of drop-the-handkerchief, But Kappa' got his interference to working finely and Mary Belle Martin preformed a most peculiar stunt with the result that she was declared winner and the game dis- continued. The next event, the rope pull, occurred just East of the Pines on the shores of the Tallawanda. To here the Freshmen, Sophs, upper-classmen and visitors proceeded, numbering about one thousand people. After much haggling the sides were allotted and the Freshmen and Sophs took their places at the ends of a 200-foot rope which was stretched across a deep hole in the Tallawanda. At the required time two men attempted to drive into the Water and tie a ker- chief on the middle of the rope. Their buggy capsized and they took an unin- tended plunge in the T allawanda waters, much to the enjoyment of the spec- tators. Promptly at 10:30 Referee Hughes fired the signal and the contest began. Cheering began for both sides. The Freshies pulled strong and steady and Won the first pull, dragging the Sophs into the Water. The classes changed I 190 places and the second trial began. This time the Sophs succeeded in pulling the Freshies into the water. Thus far both sides received some benefit of Tallawanda. Then the sides were again changed and at 11 o'clock the third trial came off. Again the Freshies succeeded in giving the Sophs a bath and thus won the rope pull. Then the worn-out Freshies collected together and gave us ai yell that said something about strawberry shortcake. The position of the Freshmen was most advantageous, thus equalling their lack of advantage in the flag rush. Everybody went to dinner, and at 2:30 the game of Association Football came off at the Athletic park, notwithstanding a continuous drizzle of rain. The line-up included all the men of both classes. Referee Hughes called them together and quoted, at some length, the rules of the game. Football socks, canvas leggings and high-topped shoes were removed by orders of the umpires. All this was accompanied by much haggling and finally at 3:40 the classes lined up and the Sophs made the first kick-off. A continuous number of fouls were made owing to unfamiliarity with the game. The Freshies got first kick for goal and lost it. The Sophs introduced the feature of interference with kick of standing on each other's shoulders. The Freshies used the same plan when their turn came. The game throughout was accompanied with much hagglingg fouls were continually made and Prof. Hoopes found much use for his whistle. 191 Borradaile made a star run to get out of danger-it being the first time in the history of his university career that he was known to move swiftly. First half ended with score of two to one in favor of Sophs. The Freshmen showed that they were getting tired in the second half and the Sophs con- tinually drove the ball into Freshman territory and towards goal. The game continued in spite of a heavy downpour of rain and the second half closed with a score of six to one in favor of Sophs. The Sophs being victors of the day, feasted on oysters.

Patterson Miss Marjorie Grant A 200 MIAMI STUDENT STAFF TI-IE RECENSIO in This volume is published annually by the Junior class of the College of Liberal Arts. To the best of our knowledge, volume one appeared in 1872, vol- ume two in 1893, volume three, 1891, volume four, 1905, volume five, 1906, volume six, 1907, and this volume becomes by this arrangement, volume seven. A discrepancy lies somewhere. The 1893 REc12Nsro stated that it was the first issue since 13725 Mr. Swan, of the 1906 RECENSICJ, states that volume one of the Rizcnxsio appeared in 1867, and that a copy is still in the archives of the Uni- versity. lfVe hope the next year's staff will solve this-a problem we will to them by this act. A The 1893 RECISNSICD was a small book, about the size of our annual summer bulletin. It was published by the Dxford News Company, Oxford, and the book was dedicated to the Hon. jno. N. Herron, President of the Board of Trustees. It seems that the staff was composed of others than members of the then junior class, as will be seen by the following from the '93 REcENs1o: HC. Rankin, 191, Editor-in-Chief: Geo. R. Eastman, '9lg C. D. M. Hough- ton, '96, G. M. Layman, 193 gl E. M. Parret, '94, and E. R. Beard, '93, Business Managerf, ' The 189-1 RECENSIO was SO1T1CW'l12Lf larger than its predecessor, and began the practice of including pictures of athletic teams and literary societies. VVe learn from this that A. H. Upham, '97, was the Recensio Artist. The staff of that year was as follows: Editor-in-Chief, G. H. Van Buren, assistants, H. H. Herman, Secretary, VV. M. Cleveland, Treasurer, T. D. Temple, S. S. McClintock. I. S. Hankinsg Business Manager, Sears VV. Cabell. The volume was published by the Republican Publishing Company, Hamil- ton, and dedicated to Dr. Hepburn. , The next issue, the 1905 RECENSIO far surpassed all others, and was pub- lished by the Republican Company, Hamilton, also, It was dedicated to Dr. Benton. This was a neat volume of 213 pages, and was indicative of Miami as a growing institution-portraying the year as it was. The staff was composed of the following: Editor-in-Chief, F. C. Wfilliamsg Assistant Editors, P. C. Bing, Bertha Miller, Roscoe Reed, Ethelwyn Porter, A. Lyle Kaye, Business Manager, Ino. Hamsher, and assistants Clyde Shinkle and B. E Riese. The 1906 REc1zNs1o was published at Hamilton also, and contained 218 pages. Was dedicated to Dr. Hepburn, and the staff was of the following: Editor-in-Chief, L. VV. Swan: Assistant Editors, E. A. Ralston, R. E. Pye, VV. L. Stephenson, L. D. Lawrence, Business Manager, E. E. Schweikart. with B. C. 202 Gaines and E. H. Hartle as assistants. In the parlance of the times, this was a Hot volume, written with vitrihed inkf' Witli passing by of the days, this sentiment is passing away, and this volume is now looked upon as one which excelled all of its predecessors. Then our present Senior class did it nobly last year in issuing a volume of 320 pages, which excelled all others and made it pay for itself-a thing unknown in the previous history of the REcENs1o. The book was dedicated to Governor Harris, and in general was a faithful reflection of the year at Old Miami. The staff was as follows: Editor-in-Chief, F. Hillg assistants, Murray Sheehan, Horace Ballinger, VV. A. Trimpe, G. G. Glasgow, Mary B. Martin. and A. K. Morris. The managerial staff was as follows: Roi Risinger, Business Managerg assistants, Lewis Rupert, Qmar Smith, Clara Feenev, S., Emerson. Now we come to the present volume. VVe had intended, upon acceptance of the pen, to freely Hdip it in vitriolf, but through the softening influence of the Y. M. C. A., the Civic League, and the Gratorical Association, we changed our minds and have tried to make it a faithful reflection of the dear old 'Varsity in all its departments and activities. For wherein we have failed, vve beg your indulgenceg and for wherein we have succeeded, we ask your silent approbation. THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. 0 45 fl v -Q I 203 A. R. MEAD Editor-in-Chief v R. E.

The cars unloaded a heterogeneous mass of humanity with grips, satchels, trunks, valises and also a liberal admixture of both hydrogen peroxide girls and elderly spinsters. Firmly believing that the fate of the nation rested on their work in Slab Gully Township the following year, they had come to Miami to get fresh inspiration, to see our beautiful campus, of which they had heard so much, to get away from home for a pleasant vacation, to spend their money, and, above all, to study natural history under Prof. Burke's charge. i Now this did not constitute all the Summer School of 1907, for some rem- nants of the winter still hovered around the buildings and campus like 'fgood spirits lost in a maze. Brill remained to direct the experimental genius in Brice Hall. Rodabaugh staid because Rupert and Pattison did, and they staid because Prof. Finch was giving special daily and evening lessons in Mathematics. Potterf and Miss Wfood staid just because they would. Miss Bachman couldn't bear the idea of leaving her Alma Mater. Boring was interested in Romance, and so he tried summer experience with a dismal failure. Bob Pye dished out hash at the Inn so he couldn't get away. Shidler must take post-graduate work in Prep. Physics. Born wouldn't miss it for anything, and Hoel had the time of his life. ,Borradaile was making up lost time. Gordon found that Hughes would let him work Sundays in the Lab., so he staid. 'Jack Hill tried to get some credits to make up for some lost as Editor of the Rl5C'lZNSIO-3 sad warning to the present incumbent. Dredge staid for French Circle and Miss l-lirn staid for a good reason. And what names those new students had. Turnipseed was really much larger than what his name indicated. Arrowsmith really didn't follow that as her trade. Black and Brown and Wfhite and Green were all white. Bobo has her name on the records as Hobo, but it was a mistake. Buzzard was just a plain summer student. Then there were Chance, and Dull, and Furlong, and Fisher. Room 107, N. Dorm., was brightened by the presence of Evershine and Light. Dickey was not a little boy, but a great orator on sundry topics, as 208 1 we shall learn later. l-Tyre couldn't be any lower, for he tried shrinkage and it wouldn't work. The two jellys were not to be eaten, even if some of the young men thought them good enough. W'ith two Ladys, a Leech, and a Kid- der-all ladies-we were somewhat surprised. Wfith two Manns Qmenj, two Nobles, Stout, a VVvC21VC1', a Rush and a Rohr, a Priest and a ,Prentice, two Reeds, we wondered what would happen. But it was solved when we found that for the six weeks we would have both Treat and Love. lt would be impossible to chronicle all the important events, so but a few will be recorded. There' were the lectures at eleven in the morning, which were well attended. The evening lectures were a source of entertainment, profit and instruction. The Superintendent's Conference and Round Table were a means of interchange of ideas among our leading school men. The 'iCincy ' and Mammoth Cave excursions came as a respite from burdensome tasks. h The athletic games and the Franklin Literary Society occupied the balance of the evenings which were not dated for lectures. There was also the trip made by the Plant Ecology class, when Miss Ferrel met with an accident and Duvall declared if he couldn't get a parasol an Hlnger- sollu would do. Then, you may recall the stunt party given by 'Miss Ella G. McSurely. Perhaps one of the most important events was the formation of the Miami Story League by Prof. Wfyche. Then, we hear of Brer Rabbit, and Brer Fox, and Brer Bear, and the Santa Claus story, etc., etc. The League held evening meetings on the campus and was well attended. Its membership reached over a hundred. 209 Summer School Organizations DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN. Misses Misses Brandenburg Schneeberger Ranson Hachstrasser Huber Shellhouse Marg.

Mr. Dickey before the Franklin Literary Society, Friday evening, july 19, 1907, on the Vicissitucles of Human Life. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: No doubt you heard Dr. I-Iillis deliver the commencement address this year. I did, and I donlt believe what he said. He said there was less suffering and graft and corruption in the world today than one hundred years ago. Now Dr. I-Iillis is not a competent judge of such things. I-Ie can't see the sufferings of the lower strata of society from his elevated position where he, in plutocratic splendor, enjoys the magnificence and luxury of the rich and powerful. QHere the speaker inserted six stories, three negro, two Irish and one American, the points of which were 'not caught by the audiencej Now then, George VVashington and a handful of ragged Continentals dared to defy King George III, and they won, and defeated king George III, they did, and killed forever the doctrine ,of divine right. Now here let me say that I think George III was a mean, contemptible, irascible, pig-headed, narrow- minded, lop-sided, obstreperous ninny, that ought to have been sent to nowhere at no time with a swift kick out the back door. I said the divine right idea was killed, and it wasg but in these days it has been resurrected, and we still believe in the divine right of kings. If We don't, why donit we help other people to get rid of this burden of the idea of divine right? Pitt and George III tricked the Irish out of their Parliament, and ever since the Irish have been clamoring for home rule. Now, let Uncle Sam land 50,000 regulars on the Emerald Isle and something would be doing. The mzfglzty Sons of Erin would come from hill cmd dale and tlzere would be on ujrrisiizig such as this old earth had never seen and they would free downtrodden Ireland. The crowned heads of Europe would combine against Uncle Sam and send their ships of war against us. ' But we would be ready for them. Wlhen they reached our coasts 'they would get so badly licked that they would never have a chance to return and Old Glory would wave on lziglz the emblem of what it was once! I-Iurrah for Old Glory! Then even if the seas were black with hostile Heets we would send our soldiers to England and soon tlze Boys io Blue would be morali- 'ifzig up the streets of LOIZVCZOIL to tlie tzme of 'tlze Stat-Spa-zzigled .BGl'llZI37 ,U and Old Glory would be 'ZC'fl'U'Zi'1Zg from the tower of Lozzdonl ! QI-Iere the speaker in- serted five storiesj But Dr. I-Iillis didnit tell the truth. There are a few men who have stood against graft and wrong and the great trusts have worked for wrong. There's Theodore Roosevelt-but let me tell you what I tlzifzila of Theodore Roosevelt: Hes so popular because he's using Bryanls politics. I tltivzle Roosevelt tries to be honestg but Mr. Bryan! I want to tell you about W'illiam Jennings Bryan. He will never be president of the United States: but his names known in every house of the nation. Now, while Bryan can't be president, if he were candidate 215 at the next election and he got only one vote, that Z-'OILG would be uziue! If there is one person whom the people trust, who has done much general good, who has attacked the trusts, who has run a farm, who has directed the policies of the nation, who has worked for the laboring man, who has been a lawyer, who has been a star on the platform, who has been a captain in the army, who has traveled all over the world and received the obeisance of the crowned heads, who is now leading the people against the plutocratic power of the trusts and wealth and winning a victory that will redound through all ages as one most brilliant, most worthy and best executed-that man is the peerless, the flawless, the hairless, the rubicund, the nobleman, the Democrat, Colonel VVz'II1'a111. fen- vzifzgs Bryan.. QI-Iere occurred applause from the galleries, and then the speaker told a few more stories that bore the tags of antiquityj Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have proven that Dr. Hillis was wrong, and will not detain you longer. ,CNevertheless he told two more stories and con- sumed thirty minutes telling what he was going to say, with which we will not burden the minds of the readers, but will give his perorationj Ladies and gentlemen, you are th chosen of this commonwealth! You arf the bright stars of the Ghio hrmament, and you will lead the hosts to victory. I never had such an appreciative audience since I have been before the public. QI-Iere occurred a groan somewhere in the audience-.D I thank you for your kind and Imarffclf afic11f1'o1z. Good zziglzf. Time, three hours and fifty minutes. R. E. PORTER, for the RECENSIO.

The game was a very interesting one to watch. as the sides were very evenly matched. The work of Haverfield and Emerson was very creditable. The score was 5-4 in favor of Wfittenberg in the last half of the ninth inning, when, with two men down and two strikes on the batter, Haverfield, who was at third base, worked the squeeze play and tied the score. The visitors were forced to quit at the end of the ninth inning in orde- to make their train. The next game was played 'at Franklin College, May 3. The flrst half re' the game was marked by many errors on Miami's part, but a change of pitcher. in the sixth inning seemed to put new energy in our team. They were. however, unable to retrieve the errors already made, and the game was finished with a score 'of 6-3 in favor of Franklin. On May 25 a very interesting game was played with Antioch College at Oxford. Owing to heavy rains the day before, the grounds were very slippery, and it was very difficult to play in the infield. Each team played a good game. and the result was a tie, 1-1. The tie was not played off, as it was necessary to call the game in the tenth inning to allow the visitors to catch their train. In this game our fellows demonstrated that they had acquired, to some degree at least, the ability of working together, and it was the candid opinion of all that Miami would have won had they been allowed to Hnish the game. This was the last game on the home grounds. On May 28 the team played Kentucky State College, which holds the state championship for this year. This game was without doubt the hardest fought game of the season. Haverfield, who pitched the game, was at his best. They had the Kentucky State team shut out with a score 1-O until the eighth inning, when an error in the inheld, due to the absence of the captain, allowed the oppo- nents two runs. Thus the game closed with a score of 2-1 in favor of K. S. C. This seemed a shame, for our fellows had worked so hard for the victory, and as one of our best players said, lt sure was a hard game to lose. The team then went to Danville, where they played two games with Cen- tral College. Our fellows seemed discouraged over the results of the day before and were defeated in the first game by a score of 12-0. But in the second game the players showed more team work and tried to even up the result of the first game. They played a good hard game, but were defeated 12-S. The feature of this game was the fine catch made by Custenborder in the outfield. This game closed the baseball season of 1907. 220 Although the team did not win any games, every one was well satislied with the creditable showing the team had made. Thy had tied two very hard- fought games, and would probably have won one of these had it been played to a finish. The redeeming feature of our team was the manner in which they con- ducted themselves while away from Oxford. One complaint made against the former teams of Miami was that they did not bring much credit to the school by their actions while they, were away on their trips. But this complaint cannot be brought against the team of 1907. VVe have lost several of this year's best playerseonly four old players remaining to form the nucleus of the team of 1908-but we feel certain that Captain-elect Blythe will get all the baseball material out and put a team in the field that will do credit to f'Qld Miamif' - 221 FOOT BA LL M S X N N l I I wx , X .sax J L Q 'H xx xXxxx , t U9 qi.

O -Opponents 37 Season of 1907 fi' ANTIQCH GAME . p The first football game of the season of 1907 was played with Antioch at Oxford on October fifth. Our team presented a fine appearance in their new suits and played such a hard, consistent game that every one felt assured that this game was the beginning of a successful season. Few trick plays were used, the team relying principally upon end runs and line bucks for their gains. At the end of the first half the score was 21-0 in favor of Miami, and in the second half the opponents weakened so much that our second team was put in. The game ended with a score of +3-O -in favor of Miami. It was merely a good practice game, but was very beneficial to the team in teaching them the new rules and getting them into condition for the season. A EARLHAM GAME On October 12th the team, accompanied by 100 rooters, journeyed to Rich- mond, Ind., to play against the Quakers. This was a very evenly contested game, especially in the first half. Miami scored the first touchdown and kicked goal, and toward the end of the first half Earlham went over for a touchdown, making the score 6-5 in favor 'of Miami. Each team scored in the second half, but Earlham was forced to put in so many substitutes that her line weakened, and Miami was able to make large gains .whenever needed. In the latter part of the game Miami advanced the ball down the field by end runs and line plunges, and had the ball on Earlham's three-yard line when the whistle blew. VVith half a minute more to play we could undoubtedly have scored another touchdown. The work of Johnson at fullback was the feature of the game. He never failed to make his distance, constantly tearing through the line for long gains. Magill playing right end received injuries which put him out of the game for the entire season. This was a great loss to the team as Magill was developing into a fine player. On the whole the game was very successful, not only because it was the first time we had beaten Earlham for many years, but because it was the first time Miami's team had won a game away from home in four years. DE PAUW GAME On October 19 we suffered the only defeat of the season. This was admin- istered to us by the strong De Pauw team at Greencastle, Indiana. Several of our players had been injured in the Earlham game, and not having had much 226 practice the week before, the team went to De Pauw in a very crippled condi- tion. The game started by Miami kicking to DePauw who ran it down to about their forty-yard line. Then by end runs, forward passes and off-tackle plays they advanced the ball to our 15-yard line. Here Miami got the ball but after trying twice to make their distance they were forced to punt. After about six minutes of this sort of playing DePauw obtained the ball at about the middle of the field. They were forced to punt, and Tucker running down under the punt, picked up the ball and by skillfully dodging Miami players crossed the line for the first touchdown. This whirlwind fashion of playing took the snap and energy entirely out of our team. In the two preceding games they had always played an easy and a winning game and did not have the spirit to stand up under a losing proposition. Tucker. DePauw's all state end, scored another touchdown and thus the first half closed.. Between halves Coach Foster succeeded in getting some spirit into the team and they went back in the game with a determination to brace up. They held their opponents very well but despite their efforts were forced to play on the defensive the most of the time. g After about ten minutes of working the ball up and down the field, Cus- tenborder got loose with the ball, and tearing down the Held under a fine inter- ference scored Miami's only touchdown. Booth kicked goal and the game started off once more. DePauw advanced the ball down into Miami's territory by rapid gains, and they were getting ready to chalk up some more points when Tucker was put out of the game for slugging Schultz. Tucker chewed the ragu for quite a whileg but he received his just rewardg he cared so much for playing to the grandstand that he forgot the rules of the game. DePauw made one touchdown after this and the game was called with the ball in the middle of the field. Although this was a bad defeat, yet it taught the men the quali- ties which a winning team must possess and developed in them the traits which won the rest of the games. CENTRAL, GAME-October 26 f After a few changes for the better in the line-up and a week's hard prac- tice, the team left for Louisville, Ky., to meet the strong team from Central University. A shower in the morning kept many people away from the game but made the grounds very nice to play on. The chances for victory seemed about equally dividedg Miami was a great deal heavier than her opponents but Central relied upon her speedy ends and backs to make great gains by forward passes and end runs. V . The game started by Central kicking to Miami. After two line plunges a forward pass was made which netted 15 yards for Miami. For about ten min- utes both teams played a hard, even game, but Miami gradually got the better of them and McCoy was sent over for a touchdown. The ball was kicked off 227 again and Miami found no difhculty in advancing the ball to Central's 15-yard line. Here a touchdown from a forward pass was made by Radcliffe. Neither goal was kicked and the half closed with a score of 10-0 in favor of Miami. In the second half the Southerners surprised our fellows. It was thought that they would not have the grit and determination to stay with a losing game but in the second half they braced up and kept our team from making any more touchdowns. In the second half Shultz, after a remarkable quarter-back run crossed the goal line but was taken back on account of holding by another player. Many times in the last half did Miami get the ball to Central's 15-yard line but the plucky Kentuckians would hold in the line and take the ball from us. In the second half many substitutes were put in by both sides. The Miami team played an exceptionally good game. Booth played a brilliant game against the all-southern center and a couple more of their players were all-state men. Miami relied more upon line kicks and forward passes than anything else. McCoy and johnson seldom failed to make their distances on line plunges, and the Miami ends made long repeated gains or forward passes. Q11 the whole this was the most enjoyable game of the season. Miami had been de- feated by Central for twelve successive years, and 'it was certainly a great victory to beat such a team upon their own territory. Every Miami player expressed his highest regards for the gentlemanly conduct of the Central team. and said that never in their football experience had they met a bunch of players who had the spirit of true sportsmanship devel- oped to such an extent as had these Southerners. QTTERBEIN AT GXFORD-NOV6111bCT 8 This was Miarni's first game with a strong team of this state and it was very .hard to compare the two teams with reference to their former records but everyone felt that Miami would win by about two touchdowns. This was to be the last game in Gxford and every player resolved to show the students and people of Qxford what he was made of. The day was perfect and an immense crowd witnessed the game. Miami kicked off to Otterbein who ran the ball down to their thirty-yard line. An end run and a line buck failing to net them enough distance they were forced to kick. Then Miami took her turn but the Otterbein line held so stub- bornly that the ball was kept at the middle of the field for quite a while. After about ten minutes of play their half-back and captain started down the Held on an end run. I-Ie would probably have made a touchdown had it not been for Shultz who tackled him so heavily that his knee was seriously injured. This materially weakened the opponents and Miami surely but slowly pushed the ball down the field to Otterbein's 15-yard line. I-Iere the famous talking, or rather swearing trick was used which resulted in Custenborder scoring the 228 A first touchdown. The remainder of the game was comparatively easy after the first touchdown had been scored. Miami used her trick plays a great deal and seldom found any difficulty in making the necessary 10 yards. Two more touchdowns were made in the first half. In the second half the more complicated plays were used and some very spectacular gains made by Miami's players. Brown made a touchdown from a forward pass and McCoy went over for one touchdown. Custenborder scored the other four touchdowns. Only two goals were kicked making a score of 32-0 in favor of Miami. The fact that so many Qtterbein men were injured was attributed to dirty playing on Miami's part. This was not the case, how- ever, our team was simply at its best and played a hard, clean game. The most spectacular play of the game was Custenborders catching a punt in the second half, and by dodging all the Otterbein players scored- a touchdown after a 90-yard run. MARIETTA GAME Un Fridaf mornin0', November 16. the team left for Marietta. After the 5 s large score of the Saturday previous, everyone felt certain that the 'team would bring back another victory. The Marietta people were equally certain that we would be beateng they boasted that the Marietta team could not be beaten on their own grounds, and they had seven years' victories to back up this state- ment. They were slated to win by at least three touchdowns. Our team went into the game seeing clearly the disadvantages under which they were playing. not over-confident, but resolved to do or die for Old Miami. There was a balk at the beginning of the game caused by a discussion as to the eligibility of one of their players whom we had proven was receiving compensation for his services on the team. They would not withdraw him so our team went into the game with a determination to beat them whether they played profes- sionals or not. Marietta won the toss and Miami was forced to kick off. Then began the hardest football game that our team had ever played. They commenced their onslaught in a contident manner by using end runs, trick plays and full-back bucks, but our line held firmly and they were constantly forced to kick. On the other hand Miami's baickheld found it practically impossible to make gains. Marietta's defense was impenetrable and her speedy ends stopped almost every end run. So the game developed into a punting contest between Radcliffe and Dayton. Dayton had a little the advantage but Radcliffe's work was always sure and in this manner kept our goal out of danger. In the latter part of the first half Marietta pushed the ball down the field to the 525-yard line. Day- ton dropped back and with a beautiful drop kick sent the ball spinning across Miami's goal. The rest of the half was spent working the ball back and forth across the 229 held, neither side being able to get the advantage and the half closed with a score of at-O in favor of Marietta. T In the second half Shultz was put in at quarterback in place of Agerter. Agerter had played a good game but because of lack of experience was not allowed to use forward passes and trick plays. It was felt that if the game i ,f1. fas to be saved it would be necessary to spring some trick plays upon the oppon- ents. The hrst six minutes of the second half was certainly the heart-breaking portion of the game. Marietta by the most desperate bucks and the best punt- ing our fellows had ever seen advanced the ball into our territory, and then used the same tactics by which they had won from Miami beforeg just ham- mering our line until it could hold no longer. ln this way they carried the ball across for a touchdown. Goal was kicked making the score 10-O. The band played, the people yelled and all the Marietta rooters thought that the game was won. But they had not taken into account the invincible spirit which Coach Foster had worked all season to develop in his team. Miami kicked off and the game started once more. Marietta was soon forced to punt and Miami obtained the ball at about the middle of the field. After a couple of bucks Miami began the series of forward passes which are considered the most remarkable exhibition of steady playing and good hard work shown through the entire season. The first forward pass was on the left end to Morris, and the next one was to right end Radcliffe. Then with about 15-yards to go another forward pass was sent to left end. Brown caught it and went over for the touchdown. McCoy kicked goal. This score encouraged, our team and they kept fighting with a resolution to score again. Their hopes were realized a few minutes after the kickoff when Radcliffe, breaking through the line picked up a blocked punt, and made a touchdown from a splendid 40-yard run. McCoy again kicked goal making a score of 12-10 in favor of Miami. Marietta kicked off, and the last four minutes of the game was simply a renewal of the punting contest. Gnce a punt went over the heads of our men who. were playing safety and bounced toward our goal. A Miami man fell on it but a foot and a half from the goal line. Qnly a minute and a half was left to play. Our line held firmly and Radcliffe punted out of danger. They returned the punt and after two bucks on which it was certain we could not lose the ball the whistle blew and the game was over. This was certainly a fitting way to close the inter-collegiate season. It was the greatest victory Miami had won on the gridiron for years. It gave us a place among the foremost football teams of the state. Vlfe had beaten one of the strongest teams in the stateg and the credit is the more ours not only because we had beaten Marietta, but because we had beaten a team composed not of legitimate students but of men hired for their services on the football team. The game came as a surprise to everyone, and Marietta is still wonder- ing how she was beaten. 1 230 T CINCINNATI GYM. Gixniz-November 28 After returning from Marietta the team was given a few days vacation, but on W'ednesday commenced practicing again and for the remaining week received the hardest practice they had ever had, so by Thanksgiving morning the team was in the best of condition. This game was of no importance from an inter-collegiate standpoint yet everyone felt that it would be a great thing for the school to win this big game in Cincinnati. Wfhen the team trotted out on the field they saw many of the younger alumni on the sidelines and in the grandstand and they realized that they would have plenty of support. The Gym. team kicked off. The ball was caught by McCoy who returned it twenty- live yards. A fullback buck and an end run were tried. ln the first play the Gyms were penalized for holding, and in the second Miami was penalized for the same offense. Failing to make the necessary distance Radcliffe was forced to punt. i Thus the game went on, becoming simply a struggle between the two punters, whose abilities along that line were about equal. The Gyms made practically all their gains during the first half by picking out a certain place in the Miami' line and hammering it until they could go through it. Tn this manner they were often able to make their 10 yards in three downs. Cn the other hand, Miami outclassed the Gyms in the matter of forward passes. Qur team was not only able to make long gains on this style of play but they under- stood how to break up the opponents passes. After about twenty minutes of this sort of playing a long forward pass was made to Radcliffe who carried the ball to the Gym's 15-yard line. Then the famous right and left trick play was started and before the Gym. players realized what was doing Cus- tenborder had gone around right end for a touchdown. Shultz punted out and McCoy kicked goal. The remainder of the half was occupied in punting back and forth. The Gym. came very near scoring twice in this part of the game. Once they car- ried a forward pass to our 10-yard line, but were penalized 15 yards, and so our goal was out of danger. Again, they advanced the ball to within striking distance of our goal and were just preparing for a place kick when the whistle blew and the half was over. In the second half Miami was forced to ,play on the defense almost all the time. ' The Gyms used the same system of hammering on certain points as they had used in the first half. 'Flach and Schane often got away for long end runs, but Miami usually got the ball before her goal was in danger and booted it back to the middle of the field. Once in this half our fellows advanced the ball to the Gym's 25-yard line, but lost it on a fumble and the Gyms punted it far down the field. The game closed without any more touchdowns and the score stood 6-0 in favor of Miami. Thus closed the hardest game of the season. The Gym. team was composed of men who had learned their football on ' 231 first-class high school and college teams and many of whom -were old stars of the game. They were adepts at the old style game and often made their ten yards in three downs. Several times they would make 20 yards on successive line bucks. The game simply showed the superiority of team work over indi- vidual work. Our team played as a unit While the Gym. team played as a group of individuals. - Almost every Gym. man outplayed his opponent but they were unahle to Work together and could not group their gains in such a Way as to make them count toward a touchdown, Q THE LlNE:UP THAT om THE womc U 232 AMOS P. FOSTER-COACH To say- that Foster is the best coach in Ohio or the best coach Miami ever had would not be doing him justice. Foster is more than both of, these put together. He is the best coach Miami ever had because he developed the best team that ever represented Miami on the gridiron out of a football squad which was all but promising. Foster not only knows how to teach men football but he possesses those qualities of true leadership which enable him to command the respect of every man on the squad. His inspiring, man to man talks to the team before going into a game will never be forgotten. His favorite expres- sion put them down and put them down hard inspired the team many times to do things which a Miami team had never done before. Foster made many friends while in Oxford and it is the earnest wish of all that he be with us again next year. i 233 PRO F. HOOPES Trainer ' 0 W, A. TRIMPE R. W. RISINGER Manager Manager PROP. Hoorizs-TRAINER Prof. Hoopes doesn't profess to be a football man and still he deserves much credit for the team's victories this season. He made a very good coach in the absence of Foster and did some very efficient work on the second team. By his frequent talks to the fellows and his advice while on trips he kept the team in good training. But his most effective work was done as a doctorg he was always on hand with his liniment and bandages and saw that the men were properly attended to. He kept the fellows in a good humor, had a good supply of stories and every man on the team has a warm place in his breast for Prof. Hoopes. e 234 ,::. 31.5 . - ' a, KRW -'t ,.

GEORGE BOOTH For the first time in many years our football captain has been re-elected for a second season by the unanimous vote of the team. This in itself is a high compliment to Booth. Everyone realizes that it is largely due to his efforts that the seasons has terminated so' successfully. At center he not only played a star game but he set an example which was hard to follow. He also watched his men and knew how each one of them was playing. The word quit is not in his vocabulary, and in the hardest games of the season he was never known to give up. He is exceptionally strong on the defense and seldom failed to get as many tackles as any man on the team. He made a fine showing against the all-Southern center at Louisville and the way he played in the Gym. game was nothing short of heroic. J. CARL CUSTENBORDER 110-Left Half. Every football enthusiast had great hopes in Cussie for this year and they were more than realized. There is no man on the team who has practiced 235' harder, trained better or who deserves more credit for the team's victories than does Custenborder. He is the coolest, steadiest player on the team and was relied upon for long, difficult gains more than any other man. His strongest work was done in the offenseg his best gains being made by long end runs and his delayed forward passes. He had an ability of picking holes and dodg- ing opponents which was remarkable. Cussie belonged to the trio of Miami players who were never known to give up and who played the same in a hard losing game as in an easy one. FLOYD BROWN '10-Left Tackle. Among the new men entering school last fall none have distinguished them- selves in athletics as has Brown. Having played on the Ohio University team the year before he easily made good on Miamiis team. Here he played such a good game that after the DePauw game he was moved out to tackle when he developed into one of the stars of the team. Brown has that 'fnever give up spirit which made him so prominent in the hardest games of the season. He is strong on offense but his most efficient work was done on the defense in charg- ing through the line and tearing up the opponent's plays. Many were the tackles he made behind the enemy's line. Wfe have great hopes in Brown for next year and look for him to make one of the best tackles in the state. r sl el W9 ' Q-Z' Sa? 236 IQUPERT . RYMER RAUCLIFFE RUPERT '10-Left Guard. As Dr. Brandon said at the football banquet Si comes of a' good foot- ball lineage. I-Ie was a sub during his Freshman year and easily made guard on the team of 1907. Si played a hard scrappy game at guard and was always able to hold up his part of the line. He played the last three games at fullback and here he played a strong game. Even in the hardest games he tore large holes in the opponent's line and made long, consistent gains. In playing offen- sive fullback and defensive guard he received the hard Work of each position but he was never heard to complain and could be relied upon to put up a good right in whatever position he was playing, and never had time called on him during the entire season. THOMAS A. RYMER '10-Right Tackle. Among the large number of players furnished by the Sophomore Class was Tommy Rhymer. He played three games at guard but in the DePauw game it was seen that he was capable of Filling a better position and so he was moved 237 I out to tackle, where he played the remainder of the season, He is a cool, heady player, never loses his temper and never quits fighting until the whistle blows. He is invincible on oiense and never fails to get through and break up the opponent's plays while playing on the defense. Rhymer was the most unlucky man on the team in receiving injuries but he always stayed with a game until the finish. He has two more years here, and, at the rate he is improving now he will soon make a great player. ' BARNEY RfiDCI,IFFE '08-Right End. It took Barney a couple of weeks to decide whether or not to come out for football this year, but after seeing clearly that duty called him to the grid- iron, he came out and Hlled the position of right end for the largest part of the season. He was very strong-on the defense, being a heavy and a sure tackler. But he was of greatest value to the team on account of his ability as a punter. Barney did all of the punting for the team, and this was a matter of great importance-especially in the last two games. His punts were not long but they were sure and were very seldom blocked. This is Radcliffe's last year at Miami and he has certainly wound up his football career here very creditably. Q 238 Bxowxza JOHNSON McCov RAXYNIOND BROWER '10-Right Guard. Bull'-' was another .man from the Sophomore Class. He played last year at end, but, having demonstrated' that he was the strongest man on the team he was put in at guard this season. Although it took Brower some time to learn that fight to a finish spirit he became one of the strongest linemen on the team, and inthe latter part of the season always'held his opponent and played a game which could not be criticized in any respect. He played his strongest game on the defense. A His heavy build made him very good in blocking his opponent and the opposing team always found it a difficult matter to send their plays through Miami's right guard. CHESTER 101-1NsToN '09-Fullback, What would football at Miami be without Hum ? He was the first man to take out a suit this fall and none were more conscientious in practicing and training than he was. He has played almost every position except quarter, and this year being the heaviest and fastest man on the squad, he easily made full- back. Here he played a good game both in bucking the line and in the second- i 239 ary line of defense. His line plunges were the features of every gameg when- ever his signal was called he was sure to gain his distance. Injuries received in the Center game necessitated his finishing the season at left guard. This was his old position and he found no difficulty in filling it during the rest' of the season. V MCCOY '11-Right Half. McCoy did not enter school until the season was pretty well advanced, but having played on one of the best high-school teams in the state last year he soon made the' Miami team. He filled the position of right half for the re- mainder of the season and delivered the goods in a very creditable manner. He was a cool, steady player and very fast in getting down under punts. His Work in the secondary line of defense was very strong. He Was much better on line plunges and off-tackle plays than on end runs but whenever he got loose with the ball he could be relied upon for a touchdown. He kicked almost all the goals during the latter part of the season. - K ,,,:. 240 SCHULTZ Moxnis ALLEN SHULTZ '10-Quarterback. For a second time Shultz has won the M. as quarterback on the ,Varsity He is the lightest man on the team but makes up for his lack in weight by his knowledge of the game and his presence of mind which is so necessary in a good quarter. The rest of- the team always felt conhdent when Shultz was at quarter. He is accurate in passing the ball and good in making his forward passes. He is very reliable in playing defensive quarter, and it was very seldom that a man got past him with the ball. Shultz has two qualities which distin- guish him from the rest of the team-never being on time and hard consistent training. BENJAMIN MORRIS '09-Left End. After one year's faithful subbing Ben has realized his hopes in making the 'Varsity team. His lack in weight coupled with a lack of experience in the game disqualified him for any position except end. He filled the position of left end in a very acceptable manner through the entire season. He is a steady cool player and could almost always be relied upon to stop gains around his . 241 end. He was a sure and a heavy tackler. On offense he was good in hand- ling the forward pass which was such an important factor in this year's game. He was also one of the best on the team in breaking up the forward passes of the opponents. Ben has one more year at college and will be an active appli- cant for his old position next fall. I THE SUBS Everyone who knows anything about football is forced to acknowledge that it is the scrubs that really make the first team what it is. The scrubs do a lot of hard work for which they never receive any credit. It does not seem unreasonable that a man playing on the first team will practice hard and train conscientiously but when a sub will practice with the' same regularity as a reg- ular and stand the hard knocks and bruises that he will necessarily receive and still not receive the honor which evolves upon a first team man it shows that he has an unselfish spirit and that he is willing to do anything for the team .and the school which it represents. The second team are really the basis upon which the coach developes his first team. They are the imaginery opponents and upon 'them the first team try their new plays and trick formations. This is very hard work because of the difference in the strength of the two teams. Miami was fortunate this year in having a very loyal bunch of subs. They practiced faithfully and always put up a stiff opposition against the 'Varsity Among those subs who always accompanied the team on its trips and who deserve .spe- , . . .-, , - - - --- ge A cial notice are Agerter, Harley, Craver, Miller, Leach, Roudelush and Glass.

CHAMPIONS GIRLS' lNTER:CLASS GAMES Basketball--1908 Q' The past basketball season was not much of a success as far as the inter- collegiate games are concerned. Our team at times showed fine work but they had to contend with many difficulties. Many of the best players had grades which would not warrant ,their representing Miami in an inter-collegiate game. This fact coupled with other difficulties which arose from time to time, weak- ened the team to such an extent that the result was seen in the season's work. The showing made by the team in the Denison game was remarkably good and everyone realized that the team had played to the best of their ability. We had good basketball material in school, but it was necessary to change the line-up so often that the fellows could not develop the team work which counts for so much in this branch of athletics. 247 JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Capt. Britton played a good strong game at center this season. He had played forward in former seasons and was slightly handicapped through lack of experience at center but he made the best of it and set a good example for his team. Poague and Martin did some very creditable work as forwards. They were both hard men to guard and were very good in throwing baskets. Brown and Patterson, the guards of this year's team, always put up a hard scrappy game. Pat was especially good in defending his goal while Brown's long suit was working the ball down the floor and shooting goals from a distance. .. The inter-class contests of the winter term which had formerly been indoor baseball, were this year changed to basketball. There was very much opposi- tion to this at first but everyone sees now that inter-class basketball -games were much better for the school than the indoor baseball games of former years. The games developed a great deal of class spirit and large crowds witnessed each of the games. Besides this the inter-class games developed some players 248 who had never been noticed before, and who with a little work will make lirst- class material for next year's team. The class championship was won by the Sophs in the final game with the juniors. Both teams had played about the same through the first of the series, but the Sophs had three of the 'Varsity on their team and with lots of practice developed a team work which the juniors could not break up. Capt. Brown is to be congratulated on the splendid showing made by the team of the Class of 1910. i The championship in the girls' inter-class games was won by the junior girls in the final with the Sophomore Normal girls. The work of Miss Bay, Miss Funderburgh and Miss Bridge was especially good. MARTIN B asketb all M anager 249 v :ER ff' fig' 'ig X o - Personell of Track Team f-if-Q D. M.

Football, baseball and basketball receive the support of every person in college but very few take much interest or arouse much enthusiasm in the track team. And yet there is no reason why it should be thus. There is no prettier nor more interesting sight than a track meet in the early spring when all nature is at its best. A good track meet is very interestingg it lacks the team Work which is the main thing in other college athletics but it is the struggle of man against man. Each contestant must work by and for himself and to be a successful track man one must possess that individual strength which alone will give him first place in his event. A football team can score a touchdown even if it has a poor player on the team, but if there is a poor man on the track team the points in his event are sure to be lost to the team. 252 lNhat is more spectacular than to see a man straining every nerve and muscle to jump one inch higher, put the shot just a little farther than his oppon- ent or to sprint up in the finish of a race enough to cross the tape first? The Inter-Class meet of 1907 was a great success. Much enthusiasm was aroused and the meet was closely contested between the classes especially be- tween the juniors and Sophomores. The Freshmen and Seniors had few entries but the other classes were after the pennant in earnest. Britton and Radcliffe for the juniors took the hurdles and most of the dis- tance runs while Markley and johnston of the Sophomore Class won the jumps and weight events. The juniors were ahead up to the last event. This was the relay race and was easily won by the Sophomores. This gave them more points than any other class and the pennant was presented to C. L. Markley, captain of the Sophomore Track Team. Several inter-collegiate meets were scheduled but owing to rain, slow trains and other accidents our team had but the one meet at Earlhani. This meet was lost because many of our men were inexperi- enced and didn't know how to use their heads when they left Oxford. This failure should prove a valuable lesson to the track team. e The annual indoor meet was held in Herron Gymnasium on February 29, 1908. There were about thirty entries and although the gold medal was easily won by Markley there was much competition for the second and third places. Many of the points were taken by Freshmen which goes to prove that our Freshman Class possesses many good track men. The indoor record for the 880-yard run was broken by McCrory, time 2 min. 34 2-5 sec., and the pole vault record was almost broken by Markley. This was considered by all the best indoor meet in many years. There were many competitors and the meet was very clean as far as combinations among competitors was concerned. The new additions to the list of events-the sack race, standing high jump and the wheelbarrow race, were very interesting events. Markley received the gold medal having won 34 pointsg Craver the silver medal with 24 points, and Britton the bronze medal with 22 points. On Thursday evening, March 12, an exhibition of gym. work was given by the students under the direction of Prof. and Mrs. Hoopes. Exhibitions were given of Irish jigs and dumb bell drill by men's classes and of Swedish work, wand drill and fancy steps by the young ladies' classes. The rope skipping by Mr. Sullivan and the flambeaux swinging by Prof. Hoopes were very inter- esting but the feature of the evening was the tumbling and performances on the flying rings by the Gym. Team. This is a department of athletics which has never been developed at Miami and all the spectators were surprised at the ability of some of the performers along this line. Prof. Hoopes, Angell, Craver and Martin were a group which would be hard to beat and who were adepts on the flying rings and in the tumb- 253 ling. The last event was the pyramids by the Gym. team. These men arranged themselves in various ways to make pyramids. These were very spectacular and difficult to perform and won the hearty applause of all the spectators. This gym. exhibition was a new thing this year at Miami and it was appreciated very much by those who saw it. Prof. and Mrs. Hoopes deserve much credit for the splendid showing of their various classes and for their general good work in this line of athletics. Although our inter-collegiate track athletics were not very successful the past year we have had some very good inter-class and indi- vidual meets and exhibitions. These have developed many good men and we feel assured that the coming season will be a good one. There are many fellows in school who have latent track abilities and if they will but get out and work we can develop a winning track team for 1908. Meets have been scheduled with Earlham and Central Colleges and with the University of Cincinnati for this year. These should be an encouragement for men to try for the track team, and we feel sure that Prof. Hoopes and Capt. Markley will do all in their power to get the fellows in the best of condition for these meets this spring. 254 Mllmimim . , R .ar .amy--...., 1 -+-J,--if '-r-4 f- , I l x ' - i Mmm? , if-' -1 Miami Gym Team S.

Step lively now! This is your last chance-fpr were going right out! Don't take the ark. Hop on the Rubber Neck Wfagon. just three seats left. Come on! It's one dime, a tenth of a dollar! VVhy, Nagel's price is S .25! Come on, ladiesg Tll let you have three seats for thirty-nine cents! Going? I see you know a good thing. Alright, driver! Wfhip up! Now, peo- ple, take one more look at the Qxford depot, that magnificent edifice of brick and stone. Look sharp! Don't fail to notice Nagel's undertaking establish- ment. Now weill stop at Qxford College, renowned far and wide for its charm- ing lasses. Note the age of the structure and its rambling porches. See that window which leads from the Senior parlor-but, no, 1'muSni'f. Start on, driver. Now we are on High street. The Hrst point of interest that we come to is Slonekens. Yes,-they run a bakery and ice cream parlor. They get most of the stray nickels from College, yVestern and 'Varsity students. just two doors above is Nick Bader's-the fellows' lmng-ozzf. You can find a University fellow feeding his face there most any time of day. Here's the post office, which, before Qxford had free delivery, was the most popular place in town. Ch, yes, right there to your left is the New Oxford Theater. The effect of the electrical display at nights is dazzling. At the left is our principal business block-but now I see the park has attracted your attention. Gray-haired veterans often visit this place. The cannons seem to inspire them, and bring back to them the scenes of their former days. Central Park, New York, was patterned after our park. Now, just on the other side of the park is the Electric Theater. The plays are always high classy but the .air is so thick that the actors pick up chunks and throw at each other,-every now and then,-in the tragic scenes. Thatis the Emporium. Oh, my good lady, thatjs the store that has been run by Prof. Beaugureau for two centuries and a half. He keeps everything from toy whistles to student supplies. Say! driver, turn northward around one of the most beautiful portions of the park on North Main street, just one square to Church street, one of the most beautiful residence streets of Oxford, here we turn east. See that large grey-brick building to the left ?-that's the Presby- terian church. Look now to the rightg behold those stately brick walls and ivy- mantled towers, this is the Methodist Episcopal churchg on the left, there, stand the grey walls of the United Presbyterian churchg here on the right is the Delta Rho House in the midst of the church district of the city. Farther down this street is the proposed colored Y. M. C. A. C?j Here we go quickly to the south. just one more square and we will be at Miami University, that historic insti- tution whose fame has spread far and wide through all the land. VVe'll just go right up High street and drive in through the campus. To your left there 267 is the Sig House. Now we are at Lewis Place, that's where Dr. Benton, the President of Miami, lives. The Phi Taus live in that next house. They're a bunch of girls who call themselves sisters. The building right there is Herron Gymnasium, it has the best Hoof in the state. Many an interesting contest has been witnessed there by the great crowds of people as they hang over the gallery railing with a peculiar ruffle-like effect. Now we are at the main recitation hall. T wish we had time to stop. 'Twould inspire you to breathe in a few of the bacilli Miamiensis which are clinging to the dingy walls. But we must hasten. just glance at the north and south Dorms. Take a look at the beautiful, wooded, lower campus, and now let your idle glances rest upon Hepburn Hall, which is in the process of reconstruction. You should have seen the fire! All the hre chiefs within a radius of '75 miles were here to watch the Oxford firemen. But we must hasten. Those loud-smelling vapors that touch your olfactory nerves issue from Brice Hall, the science building. Don't fail to note the latest achieve- ment in landscape gardening. I mean that jungle of scrub trees and bushes in front of Hepburn Hall. In future years it may be used as a University game reserve, in which snakes and toads are kept for use in the Biology Lab. Down at the end of this road is the Phi Delta House. They arenlt going to live there very long, for they expect to cut it swell in their new Memorial Chapter House. I see I've forgotten to tell you about the Auditorium. It has just been finished recently, and is certainly a peach. The most significant event in connection with its brief history was the laying of the corner-stone. You wouldn't forget that if you'd been here. I never saw nor heard tell of so much flim-Ham as those Masons and other dignitaries got off that day. All the spectators got Carnegie medals. lVe'll go right up Wfalnut street past the Beta House. That little church on the corner is the Episcopal. One of the most interesting sights, in this vicinity, is to watch the procession of College girls, Betas and Phi Deltas, as they come from services every Sunday afternoon. Drive fast, driver-welll have to show the people the D. K. E. house. Here we are already. It's the second house from the corner. 'Whatls that string of girls down on the next street? lfVhy, those are the young ladies from the State Normal School on their way home from public schools-where they get their practice. You want to find a hotel? Alright, we'll go to the Girard House, the best hotel in town That character who is attracting your attention is johnnie Ritchie-Johnnie Hoc. Wfhen you get to your hotel, get somebody to relate johnnies history to you-for it's more than interesting. Here we are now. To the right is the City Hall. The Star Theater holds forth on the second Hoor, in what was always the Village Opera House. The Star Theater is the most famous of Oxfords three. They got their emblem from the Bible- XVise men follow the Star -aiid the result? XVell, they not only got to witness some marvelous kaleidoscopic stunts and see an illustrated song, but theirs is the rare pleasure of hearing the manager's explanations-which are more than half the show. Here comes the porters. Good-bye, I hope you've enjoyed your trip and that you'll speak a good word for the Rubber Neck Wfagon. 268 TI-IE CARPET OR A AGE GF INTENSE SUFFERING Bal mounted the platform and read the announcements. Some referred to class meetings, one to Prof. Burke's Glee Club, and one to campus pathsg but among them was one that attracted but little notice. and it read as follows: E.l'CC'Ilfl'Z'6 Offices Nia-1-11 1' UII1'Z'Cl'Sl'f3'. Mr. fumes R. X. will please call az' flie P7'CSZ'd81If,S oiffce Z.'I7lll'lfCd'I'L'If6'!j' after chapel. 'When this was read, one who sat near Mr. X would have noticed several expressions of fear. Mr. X was a Freshman, and just the day before. had heard several Seniors telling how Prexy had called them up on the carpet and sat on them for some misdemeanor of their earlier College days. To him it was a harrowing recital and now he was called up on the same carpet and by the same prexy. W7hv did he mix in the scrape?', he asked himself. WVhy did he ever come to College? He had told his parents that he was sure he ought not to go to College and this recurred to him with peculiar emphasis at this moment. Wfhen the announcement was read he slid down in his seat in the J-row until he was almost on 'his back. He felt a peculiar tingling sensation about his face and noticed it creep to his ears and then to his hair which began to rise. His nearest classmate noticed him blushing and sympathetically said in a whis- per Say, Jim, l'm glad Tm not in your shoes. Jim gave a hurried look up in time to see the students rising and marching out of chapel. Then he gazed at the back of the seat in front of him with an zfizfcnse 1'11icf1'csf. Could there be no way of escapeifrom the ordeal? Vtfhy not cut and go down town to Bader's where he spent his evenings? Then he found himself in line marching out of chapel and about half resolved to f'cut when he fully realized that such an act could do no good. Then he began, possibly for the first time, to realize that there is a stubborn reality to this business of College life which he had neglected for the shimmering frivolities. Now he was in the lower hall and going towards the Presidents ofhce with no plan of escape yet devised. He entered the office and sank into a chair and stared in blank dismay. Wfhy should Swan keep looking at him so much? VVhy was everybody noticing him so 269 quickly? Dr. Hall came in and looked into his box in the 'Varsity Exchange and gave a hurried glance at the culprit who started with an involuntary shudder and turned down the corner of his mouth ready to utter sounds common to the days of all infants. ' Peter came and glancing at him said, How-d'ye-do Mr. X with his suave manner and then passed out, but Mr. X felt no better. VVhy should Swan's typewriter sound so loud? Never before had the master clock ticked so loudly as then. He stared at its face and it seemed to reproach him and to say 'fln just a few minutes youll! be on the carpet. The clock gave a click, a whir, a rattling of cogs and wheels and then the gong rang for class. In five minutes he was due in Cos Artie's Math room and today he would have to cut Math, and of all Profs., he feared Dr. Hall the most. This set a new series of thoughts revolving in his mind. He recalled that his Trig. lesson was untouched, and that instead of studying his Chem. I the evening before, he had gone to Oxford College to a show. How Hughes would score him! This thought gave him no comfort and he shifted uneasily this way and that as though the chair was upholstered with tacks with the points up. It seemed that his torture was being prolonged so he rose and paced back and forth while Swan busily clicked the machine and Miss Bishop looked up the records of cuts for the members of the football team and mailed each a notice that these must be made up or their credits would be withheld. But neither football nor players concerned him now. just then the door of the Private Qffice opened and jim gave a start for he thought his time had come. But not so. 'fPreXy was dismissing the Stu- dent Editor who had just asked him for an appropriation for the Student and offices in the new Auditorium for all of his assistants. But this concerned him not at all. At this juncture Dr. Benton said, Mr. Swan will you tell Mr. X I'll see him in about three minutesfy Why prolong the suspense, thought X. By this time X was so completely upset that he leaned over the writing desk, faced the wall so Swan and Miss Bishop could not see him, and buried his face in his hands while a few salt tears trickled down his cheeks. Again the door to the Private Office opened and out came a deputation of Phi Delts who had been discussing the new chapter house. But what cared he for chapter houses or frats or sororities. He had failed to make the Betas, Sigs, or the Delta Rhos. The Dekes never knew he was about, and even the Phi Delts had turned him down. The only thing he cared for now was that this ordeal was over and that he was back at home where he might do just about as he pleased. But, horrors! Mr, X, I am now ready for you, he hears and above it he can hear the thump, thump, thump of his heartbeat, but he walks to the office and our President welcomes him with that well-known 270 hearty handshake and a How do you do, James? Come right in and we'll talk over the matter-there-sit down James, and tell me all about itf' james then proceeds to tell. as best he could between choking and stammer- ing, a plain unvarnished account of the whole story. 'fBut james did you not know that such was contrary to the spirit of the institution ? says 'iPrexy. No, came the answer. XNhy, james, did you ever see the Seniors do anything like that? You are supposed to follow their leading in all matters. But, Doctor, came the reply, Brill, Borradaile, Trimpe, A. K. Morris and Risinger were in the bunch. Surely, james, you are mistaken. These men are all Seniors and have promised to uphold the standards of this famous and historic institution, and would never do anything like that. VVho were some of the others in the crowd ? VVell, there were Si Rupert, Pat Schlenk, Carl Shaffer, Charlie Niclas, Tom Rymer, and jack Stiles and a lot of fellows from the Dormsf' O, I see! james, you let these lower classmen lead you into this affair. Now you have brought this on you, yourself, and you, of course, must bear the consequences. This matter was brought before the University Senate and it has been decided that you will have to be deprived of the privilege of visiting? Hepburn Hall, Qxford College, and the Westerii for a period of ten days. I am very sorry that such is the case, but rest assured that wherever you do go my good wishes are with you. blames R. X. walked out the office with an air of humiliation and a feeling that he had lost his only friend. A. R. M., 'O9. THE REc.ENslo Goes T0 PRESS 271 Wm .. fbi '-s .-SSR 42'fi5'q..L THE MAIN BUILDING The Main Building Q' The west wing, a much smaller structure than the present one, was the hrst part constructed and was completed in 1823. The next part, the central part, was built in 1822-21. ln 1868, the west wing was replaced by a larger structure and the west tower was built. ln 1885, 3,520,000 was set aside for improvements. Part of it was used in installing a hot-air heating apparatus which proved to be next to worthless. In 1898-99, the building assumed its present appearance. At one time the tower rose from the center of the middle structure. Miami Union and Erodelphian Societies have always occupied their present quarters on the third iioor, and the now historic Eccrittean Society occupied what is now the Philosophy room. The present library room was once used for sleeping quarters for the students. Up to 1869 the chapel occupied that part of the cen- tral structure now occupied by the History and English departments and the hall between them. The first floor of the east wing, for a long time was not divided into rooms, but was used as a hall. Wlieii it assumed its present appear- ance, the large room was occupied by the Physics department. Now after being the Association Chapel it becomes the room of the department of Manual Arts. The building was first heated with fire-places, then with stoves, then with the hot-air device andfinally fitted with steam heat as it is today. The south side was intended as the front and the stone containing the dates of building is now hidden from view by the roof of the south porch. Q The New Auditorium This magnificent structure was formally dedicated on February 27, 1908. It is built of Anderson brick with Bedford limestone trimmings and porch. The dimensions of the building are 8014175 feet. Une of the very attractive features of this structure is the lobby, 28x-let feet, on the first floor. The floor of this lobby is tile of Grecian design which in connection with the mural decorations make it one of the finest lobbies in Ohio. The chapel has a seating capacity of 1316, which by adding chairs can be increased to nearly 2,000 The administrative offices of the University are located on the second floor where there is also a very beautiful lobby 422:43 feet. The structure is thor- oughly modern in every respect. It is heated and lighted from the University heat and light plant. Critics pronounce it one of the finest College buildings of the Middle Wfest. The architect was Gustave XV. Drach, of Cincinnati. 273 1 Hepburn Hall The Hepburn Hall known to the many friends and former students of the University was destroyed by fire on Wecliiesday evening, January 15. Since then a new and in some respects a better hall has been built. Its plans, arrange- ment, etc., are similar to the old one. In fact, it has the same foundation and walls. This magnificent new dormitory has accommodation for about 100 young ladies and is presided over by the scholarly Miss Elizabeth Hamilton, as dean of the young women. The original Hepburn Hall was built in 1905 and named in honor of Dr. A. D. Hepburn, the grand old man of Miami. The Dorms It is difficult to condense in a few lines a sketch of our historic dormitories. Tn observing the early history it is significant to- note one of the features of Ur. Bishops administration. the use of revenue. Their only sources of revenue were tuitioi. and land rental. Tn Dr. Bishopis ,administration three buildings were erected--sa science hall and the two dormitories. In September, 1828, a building committee reported a contract for a new building-now known as the North Dormitory-earlier, known as the North East. The final report on this build- ing was made in September, 1829, and the cost was 37117.16 The old South East, now known as the South Dormitory was completed in 18345, at a cost of 39,000 One of the early changes was the making of a hall way. lengthwise, on the third floor of the North Dormitory Tn earlier days the rooms were heated either by a hre-place or a stove, and now we have the modern method of steam heating. In connection with this it is interesting to note that room number 303, North Dormitory was used for a wood-shed by the students. 011 December 26, 1848, the Phi Delta Theta fraternity was founded in the North Dormitory, room number 200. Tn the sixties the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity occupied the four rooms, on the third floor of the North Dormitory, in the north end of the building. These four rooms were used simply as their headquarters, before they had secured a chapter house in town. Again, we note that the Delta Rho fraternity was founded in 190-l in the South Dormitory, room number' 209. The next thing of interest would be early student life in the Dormitories. From an article published by Dr. I. S. Billing, entitled, How Tom kept Bache- lor's Hall, we get a glimpse of early student life and in which he gives a sketch of the life of Tom R. Allen, who was a student at Miami in 1857, and occupied a room in the South Dormitory. He had an open fire-place and did his own cooking, his table was simply a large board. He was a good cook and also a violin player. Bread and milk were delivered once a clay by the baker 274 and milk-man, and other articles were purchased in town. The boys who did their own cooking usually had buckwheat cakes and sausage for breakfast. Tom was considered an expert in making buckwheat cakes. He would stir up some buckwheat flour, salt and water in the evening and leave it stand by the fire all night, and in the morning he would get up early enough to fry 'em and eat 'em before the chapel bell would ring. Another favorite dish among the boys of the South East was Hpapered eggs. It consisted in frying eggs on a hot stove in a shallow paper pan. Also, the boys would frequently have a chicken roast. No janitor service was furnished them. President Benjamin Harrison, while a student at Miami, occupied room 30-L North Dormitory. Later we find that Dr. Hepburn and his family occupied eight rooms in the North Dormitory. Many other prominent individuals. both as students and professors, have occupied rooms in these 'Dormitories. 'Brice Scientific Hall Through the generosity of the late U. S. Senator Calvin S. Brice, LL. D. of the Class of 1863, this building was erected in 1892. The steady and rapid growth of Miami University necessitated more room, and in 1905 it was greatly enlarged. ' The Department of Chemistry occupies rooms on the first floor and in the basement. ' The Department of Zoology and Geology occupies part of the second Hoor. The Department of Botany and Bacteriology has rooms on second Hoor. The Department of Physics has rooms on first floor and in the basement. The Department of Natural History and Elementary Agriculture occupy rooms on the second floor. i . Herron Gymnasium This building was erected in 1897 and was named in honor of judge Her- ron of Cincinnati, a member of the Class of 1815, who for a quarter of a century has been President of the Board of Trustees of Miami University. The building is of pressed brick with stone foundation and is 7121100 feet in dimensions. The gymnasium is well equipped with apparatus and new pieces are being added from time to time. ' Heat and Light Plant During the fall of 1906 a central heating and lighting plant was installed. The building is located in the edge of the timbered part of the campus. This plant furnishes steam heat and electric lights for all the University buildings, including the three dormitories. It is constructed thoroughly upon scientiflc principles and is giving very good satisfaction. 27 5 IN LA DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI A TRIBUTE TG BENJAMIN HARRISON A part of the speech of General Benjamin Piat Runkle, Class of '87, at the alumni banquet, Bishop Chapel, Miami University, February 28th, 1908: This night, how well I remember that 15th of May, 18645 now more than forty years agone, when at Resaca the division in which I was serving swung into column had moved to the support of the fourth corps attacking the enemy's entrenchments. Wfounded men were streaming to the rear, ambulances stream- ing blood drove rapidly past us. Moving into line, we there in full view, waited and watched the ebb and flow, the surging rush of battle, saw the long blue lines with flying colors-nowhere do these colors stand out so magnificently grand as in the tumult of battle-with Hying colors move up through the wither- ing fire while the throbbing guns, like tremendous heartbeats, kept time to the battle stride. Forward and back and forward, again and again, swayed the lines: heavier grew the pall of gray smoke while the deadly rattle of the rifles and shriek of shells told that men were dying in red anguish by? the hundred. At last the Union lines swept over the works, the battle flags leaped clear of the smoke as their bearers sprang on the parapets. The enemy gave way. Cheers rang down the charging lines and rolled back to the supports as out of the confusion and carnage came the remnant of a volunteer brigade with four captured guns, the leader who took them in and who brought them out, victor- ious, was Ben I-Iarrison of Miami. Wlieii he was made President of a saved republic a great man found his reward.', I - -yn nn-.--...W 4 OXFORD FROM TOWER OF MIAMI BUILDING 277 X. .-,, X Sig -J-ffifiiif., vqqwk- 'X 1 NSW. ,,.. ., -F-44-L Kwxwmu - A411556 lx -adi- X ' X Lv X W xx w'- -:sq-,W 2 ..

TEMPLIN QContributed to The Instellar Phantasmagorian.j Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your eyes for a moment. If you have ears prepare to shed them now. A A few weeks ago the program committee called on me and ordered me to write for this publication. I inquired what I was to write on. They replied, On paper. As I have nothing to write and less to say, I will begin by telling you of a young lady who was visiting in the country. Une evening she remarked to the young man at the place, f'Isn't it lovely in the country where sun kisses the grass of dewy morn. and at eve the lowing kine come tinkling in from the pasture?'i I-Ie replied with fine sarcasm, Yes, it is lovely whenqyou have to go out to the barn and feed the pigs long before the sun has kissed anything. And the lowing kine-well, when they are not caressing my freckles with a damp tail, they are putting their feet in the milk pail. Ch yes, it's great, all right. ' It is related on good authority that Quarterback Schultz had trouble in keeping his left hose in place during the Marietta game. He finally managed to repair the wreck with a hame-string and a cork-screw-driver. There is another interesting phase of this subject which I must take up before closing. A tall girl named Short, long loved a certain Mr. Little, while Little thinking of Short,.loved a little lass named Long. To make a long story short, Little proposed to Long and Short longed to be even with Littleis short- comings. So Short, meeting Long, threatened to marry Little before long, which caused Little, in short, to marry Long. Now, did tall Short love big Little less because Little loved Long?

I after I-Iepburn I-Iall firej- I might add my mite to what Dr. Benton has just said about the boys helping the co'eds. Late in the even- ing my wife called my attention to some young people going past the house. She said the young men had their arms dislocated. I looked. I didn't blame the young men at all for I know the feelings of the young ladies on the sub- ject. In their minds the arms were just properly setf' I-Iere is one Petry tells on his room-mate. On returning from breakfast one morning, Sizelove discovered that he had left his key inside his room. S0 he went back of the Dorm and laboriously climbed into the window. Then he carefully crawled out again with the keys in his hand. just then Petry happened along. VVhere 'ri you goin'? he demanded. Wl1y, answered Sizelove, I'm going around to get in my room. Prof. Luebke assigns a lesson-At beginning of period: We will read the latter part of 'Die Schiiler' for tomorrow. At middle of period: For tomorrow's lesson we will read 'Die Dummen. ' At close of period: To- morrow write out the lesson 'Die Huhner gehen zur Ruste' and be able to handle the lesson well. Cf course the class knew just what the lesson was.

Dr. Vlfildman-I am decidedly opposed to anything of the sort. A college annual should be entirely a student affair. You get material that makes it clumsy. The catalog gives all that. I am very decidedly opposed to it.- Dr. DeWitt-Tlie aim of my work? W'ell you may state that I am Well informed on current discussions of the classics. Professor Burke-Be sure to tell all about my music. 295 Professor Richards You will 1 - p ease excuse me from answering the ques- tions. Professor Feeney-Come in and visit us if you want to know about our department. Professor Logan-My name is all I will give you. See Professor Parker or Dean Minnich for theurest. Professor Hughes-Oh, go 'long. You don't need anything about the Chem- istry de art ' A ' ' I p ment. But dont forget Dr. Wfilhams-he's a modest man and wonit tell you much.

In the following pages the reader will find Miami inmates classified as well as the information gleaned from a three-years' investigation will permit. The author acknowledges his own lack of knowledge and should any be mis- classified it is an error of omission and not f'commission. 'We are indebted to Sir Joseph Breitenbecker and to Hon. Charles Summer Mohler for very val- uable aid in this investigation, which they never gave us. The field of study is a wide one and will yet bear fruit to some patient student of nature. The genus donkey, genus ape, gorilla, baboon, snake, etc.. have been omitted because of their vicious and dangerous character. VVe would suggest that the 1909 Recensio Board, believing not that familiarity doth breed contemptf, carry on the investigation of the above named species. Tr-113 AUTHOR.

B frxnsi-IAL QVERHOLZ I Hrsronv Last spring, when all life was beginning to stir anew, and the blood thrilled through the veins of the young and active, and the voice of the cuckoo was heard . . . f d nights were balmy, a certain circus came to OX or town . It was an insignificant thing and its name was Lugar's, the occasion of the formation of this club. As to the facts in the land, and the of classic tendencies but its presence was we will quote direct from the Annals of the Club: toil of the day was over and even was come, there resorted relaxation from the strenuosity of the day certain pure- tl souffht to encourage the actors Now when the unto this circus for minded students. During the performance iey g and cheered them voluminously. Their particular favorite was a jester, but he 'did not seem to appreciate thekindness of these noble-minded students. l ld I l e here concert tickets which I 'KNOW came one and said: 'Be io iav will sell unto thee at five cents perf And he beseeched them and said: 'VVill you not purchase of me these tickets, G sons of Miami, that your hours may be long' in the house of Lugar P' And their souls were stirred by this so great eloquence. And they did each and all purchase these tickets and did give up their gold for them. But lo! there came one wi . deeply for the tickets which the sons of Miami hadbought. And he said, 'Give unto me now, I beseech thee, the tickets, that I may present them to my th an evil intent in his heart And he longed ' t 310 if 7 master.' But the staunch Miami men did refuse and said, 'And shall we then yield up unto thee that which is our own, that we have purchased with the toil of our fathers? Go to, thou son of sin, thou child of the devil, go to. Go back now and sit down in thy tent with thy women lest a worse thing befall thee' Then did this son of evil step to one side. And he called out in a loud voice and said, 'Hey, Rubell Then were the sons of Miami mightily beset. For the legions of the wicked compassed them about on every side and they were sore pressed. But they fought right valiantly and so lustily that many a son of darkness bit the mud that night. But the enemies of the righteous had possessed themselves of tent-stakes and with staves and long clubs did they assail them. And when one of the men of Miami, the valiant Stiles, did collide with a tent-stake performing a quadrant in the damp air, behold! he saw a great vision and beheld a great light, for lo! the heavens were opened, and all the stars of the nrmament were there in one place, and they shone with exceeding brilliancy, insomuch that the sons of Miami were fain to retreat and lo! the battle was ended for they did the three and twenty stunt with right good will. Now when morning was come, Qverholz, the son of Politics, did appear in the court of Guy Potter, and he approached the throne and made his salaam before the proud king and with his face in the dust, he said, 'Behold, Q mighty king, ruler of Miami, whose armies be as the sands of the sea, and whose wealth is as the mines of Qphir, who hast no superior except the State Legislature, behold, 0 king, thy servant, my master, the Lord Mayor of this classic city, doth thru me, summon twenty of thy young men to appear at his court in the hall of justice, there to answer for their many sins --.' He had not finished speaking, but the king descended upon him in his wrath and quickly did he skidoo for well he knew what was good for his health. And the king, taking counsel with himself, said in his heart, 'It is meet that these, my young men, should receive a lesson for they have been exceedingly unruly of late and have not regarded my commandments and my laws which I have given unto them. Have they not builded paths in my courtyard, and have they not been corrupt in their politics? Yea, verily. Therefore will I permit that they should be called before His Honor, the Lord Mayor. Never- theless, not a hair of their heads shall be harmed-by the beard of my fathers I swear it.' - So now when all the people had assembled in the tabernacle at 10:30, as was their daily custom, the king uprose from where he sat, in all his majesty. The storm cloud had its seat upon his brow, the lightning flashed in his eye and the thunder rolled in his voice. Deep graven on his front deliberation sat and public care. His words were few: 'Wfill those whose names are read meet me in the executive chamber at the eleventh hour ?' 4. cg, 4. -5. si, 4, Now when the council was met at the Lord Ma.yor's Hall of justice it was 311 found that the sons of Lugar who had made vile charges against the servants of the king were not there for is it not written 'The wicked shall not stand in the judgment ?' Then did the king rise up in his might and say unto Overholz, the son of Politics, a few of the things he thought of him. Then did confusion seize the wicked one, and the keeper of the gates trembled. Then were the servants of the king set free and returned unto their own land. And there was rejoicing in the land of Miami tor did not the wicked fall into his own snare? But behold all these things are written in the Books of the Iudges which are placed in the ark of the constable in the Hall ot Iusticef, MEMBERS Barney Radcliffe Stan Daley Bill Filer I Q Clif Riner Roi Risinger Red Emerson Bud Coffman Tubby Shinkle Bub Hicks Pat Schlenck Frank Ralston W fyf fw ff!

Don,t show enough respect for the faculty? 'fNot enough ,roasts on the Profs. They've even had the nerve to put in Grinds about the Co-eds. Too many rubs on the fraternities.

Chairman of the Mouse Council-The meeting will please come to order and We'll hear the minutes of the last meeting. Second Mouse-On the first day of April, 1908, all citizens of Mousedom assembled with the purpose in view of discussing plans, for the higher educa- tion of the youth. At this meeting a council was chosen, which was vested with power to act so as to enfurther the best interests of the mice at large. From this council, two members were selected, to visit Miami University, and they were advised to make their visit on the day for the regular Faculty' meet- ing. There being no further business the meeting then adjourned. SCENE H-An underground passage leading to the Senate room. , First Mouse-l think we've covered all the ground, for we've seen about all the Profs. conduct recitations. ' Second Mouse--Yes, everything was pretty nice too. I mean in the Main buildingg but one thing is sure, I'll never give my vote for an extensive science department, if all laboratories have such an oderiferous disagreeableness about them. First Mouse-Wfelll have to hurry, if We get to the Senate room in time. The four o'clock bell's ringing now. Oh, here we are already. VVe'll just set- tle ourselves comfortably and Watch the proceedings thru this hole. Second Mouse-Fm glad We're not going to miss anything for I really need brushing up in Parliamentary practices. First Mouse-Shoot the luck! Fve lost 1ny fountain pen. How will I take notes? You have an extra pencil? Oh, thank you. SCENE HI-The Senate Room. Dr. Benton-The meeting will please come to order and We'll hear the min- utes of the last meeting. Miss Logan QSec.j, reads, and minutes are approved. Dr. Benton-ls there any old business? If not we'll proceed with the new. Prof. Brandon rises and reads the following petition: 'fldfe the undersigned do hereby respectfully petition the faculty of Miami University, for the use of Bishop Chapel for fortnightly dances, etc. Dr. Hall-I move that the petition be accepted as read. Prof. Hoopes-Second. Dr. Benton-Any remarks: D E A 339 Prof. Peeney-Mr. President, such a proposition is not to be considered. The pernicious practice of dancing should be eradicated, rather than encouraged, by us in authority. There are many less harmful pleasures in which students might indulge, if they have time to spare from their lessons 3 but they are here to study and it is our duty to exterminate all unnecessary social functions- but more especially those which are not elevating. Prof. I-Ioopes-Mr. President, I heartily commend dancing not only be- cause of its merits as a social pastime, but more especially because of its value as a physical exercise. We, the faculty should feel responsible for the youth, entrusted to our care, and do everything within our power to enfurther the social spirit and moreover the health of the students. Prof. Feeney-It's an outrage! Prof. Bradford-Although I do not condemn all dances, I think that it behooves us to renounce this petition and that will suffice. Dr. Culler-Oh, let's grant it. Theyire old enough to know whatys right and wrong for them. Prof. North-Gentleman and ladies. It has been right along my line of work to discuss this problem of dancing and I have found that in all races, in their different stages of development, some sort of rythmical expression has been common. Dancing really isn't a bad thing and Bishop Chapel may as well be used as a place to express the rythm in the bodies of our students. Mrs. Richards-I -agree with Dr. North in every particular. Dr. Brandon-I should grant my approval to this petition, if a clause were inserted providing that the dances should be held on' Friday and Saturday nights, when they would not interfere with the regular college work. P Dean Hamilton-It is unfortunate that our dances have to be held in that horrid I-Iorneris I-Iall. I-Iow much nicer it would be to hold all such affairs on University property. I'd gladly add my vote in favor of 'this petition if the boys would promise to bring my girls home by ten o'clock. Lull. Dr. Benton-I heartily agree with Prof. Feeney that we should not give ear to such a questionable measure. No University property, especially Bishop chapel, will be contaminated by the feet of unrighteous dancers, if I have the power to prevent such a measure. Should the Senate adopt such a petition the destiny of Miami would be changed. No careful parents would send their chil- dren to receive knowledge from professors who tolerate dancing on University property. I can not express myself too strongly. Is there any further discus- sion? The time is growing short. Prof. Parker-I move that the motion concerning the adoption of this peti- tion, be laid upon the table. Prof. Upham-I second the motion. QCarriedj. 340 Daddy Finch-I move that we adjourn. SCENE IV-Down underground road-the two niice returning to Mousedoni. First Mouse-That discussion was surely interesting as well as instructive. Second Mouse-Y es. YN e got some good pointers on how to run a Sunday school, as well as the proper way to conduct a University. First Mouse-Didnit the chief mogul get excited? Second Mouse-Vlfell, just a triiie, but he didn't wax any warmer than that sandy-haired man they called Feeney. First Mouse-Fm 'satisfied that our report to the council and citizens of Mousedoni will be beneficial and entertaining. M. S.

This is the first requirement in the Physics Department. P1-Iysrcs EXPERIMENT No. 23 Purpose: To make fudge. Apparatus: The apparatus consists of one bunsen burner with long rubber tube to connect from on chandelier to the tableg one large sized ringstandg one large porcelain basing one glass spoon, and necessary constituents for the spe- cified candy, namely-sugar, milk, butter, chocolate, and nuts-also one large platter. Manipulation: For the successful carrying out of this experiment, it is necessary to be engaged in another experiment in the electrical laboratory. 'When there adjourn to the work room just north of said lab. Adjust bunsen burner and ringstand, place porcelain dish on stand, and in it the above named ingredients. Heat to boiling, then stir well until done. This is determined by experience and one must use his own judgment as to. when to stop stirring. However, as long as there is a fire under the dish don't stop. lf the instructor happens to look in he may Qand didj fail to see one in the far end of the room so busily engaged. lVhen done turn off the gas and pour the sweetened concoction on the platter-previously buttered. Set this on the sill of an open window to cool. VVhen nearly hardened, cut, and after having observed the following precau- tions, it is ready to serve. Pirst be very careful to return all apparatus to the Chemical lab. lockers, second, be sure to invite all members of the class to par- take, fthe instructor having left early, misses the treat although he uncon- sciously watched all the proceedingsj. Wfhen the four o'clock bell rings all must scatter and hasten to study for exams. - W Sotnacns or ERROR IN ri-in Exif. f The chief source of error was the chance of being c1uO'ht by the instruc- D C D . tor. Another source, using a ringstand which instructor was soon to need and would soon inquire for.. Also should not have left dirty apparatus for in- structor to find-instructor might have detected the odor. By careful manipulation and the greatest pains-taking the experiment was carried out and all sources of error were either guarded against or dodged so that it may be pronounced a grand success.
