In this volume many things are not as we would have wished them; there are many things that we have desired to do which we have not done at all because of difhculties beyond our power to overcome, yet such as it is, it is the product of our most earnest effort. If it has created some semblance of an image of our life within the college year, if it has added something, however small the part may be, to the lore of OLD MIAMI and the love for her that lives in the hearts of all who have known the magic of her campus and returning have strained their eyes frOm afar off to catch the outline of ' her red, towers against the sky, our work has not been entirely to no avail. By The Editor and Staff, Oxford, Ohio March,' Twelfth, Anno Domini One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifteen and of The University, the One Hundred and Sixth Year. Historical N ote N 1809 the Legislature of Ohio established, according to the terms of the Symmes Purchase which had provided for a township of land to be reserved for educational purposes, Miami University, destined to become within the passage of but a few decades the greatest educational factor west of the Alleghanies. In. 1894 the college was formally opened under the presidency of the Reverend Robert Hamilton Bishop. F rom that day its growth in size and influence was uninterrupted until the whole educational system of the country r was disorganized by the outbreak of the Civil War. Miami was soon the greatest College of the West. At Miami the new fraternity idea found its home in the newer section of the country and in the fertile soil of her splendid undergraduate life, so Iiourished that in the course of time the Yale 0f the West became the rival of Union as mother of the Greeks. Always Miami was more than a heap of bricks and an educational foundry; always she represented an ideal and the far famed IVIiami spirit is no younger than the foundations of her most vener- able pile. Always Miami lead the colleges of the West in their march toward the heights of broad learning and perfect and painstaking scholarship. ' More great names appear upon the roll of her students between the day of opening in 1824 to the tragic closing of the doors of the Old Miami in 1873 when aftermath of the war had made impossible the maintainance 0f the University upon the revenues accruing from the land rents 0f the township eked out by the small sums received from tuitions, than any other American College can boast of within the same number of years. During the twelve years following Messrs. Trufont and Marsh conducted a preparatory school known as the Miami Classical Institute in the University property. In 1885 the accumulated land income was sufficient to justify the reopening of the College. Robert White McFarland, a veteran of the 01d order, was chosen as the first president of the revivified Miami. In the first days Of the new regime the efforts and financial assistance of Senator Calvin Brice and other faithful alumni constituted the saving force of the great project. After an heroic struggle the inertia of the twelve years of inactivity was overcome and Old Miami entered upon a new era of prosperity and influence in Which she is destined to rival even her own prestige of the golden ante bellum time. In later years a considerable though still inadequate subsidy from the State has made possible many important improvements. Since 1902 the buildings of the Ohio State N ormal College have been located upon hIiami campus, and the administration of that important link of the States system for Normal Education has been placed under the authority of the executive officers of the University. In this our own generation the Old Miami moves forward to that goal of eminence toward which her progress was temporarily interrupted by the great tragedy of 1873.

HE class of 1915 looks back on the annals of its four years today and says with some joy, 11When we were freshmen. ii And yet it is not all joy, for perhaps never again will such privileges, such distinction, such recognition be granted its members; as, when we leave these college walls to enter the world Of work and service, we can neither hope for nor expect a fragile excuse to have even an atom of weight. $ We would not, however, change the ilwereh t0 izireh if we could; because then from us would be shorn the memories of the since-then-abandoned flag rush; of good 11Old Capt. Stonei, whose more or less frequent appearances on the Chapel platform never failed to bring down the house; of the up-tO-Christmas Pan-Hellenic rushing season; of the sorority houses with their home-like firesides and chaperons; and of what a real library date used to be. Our Sophomore year has faded into oblivion. It was a year of watching, waiting, plan- ning for the next year with which we crowned our glory. The third year records upon its pages the junior dance, our Pr0m., our Recensio. But the greatest thing of the year, the thing most prominent in the minds of everyone, especially the seniors Of 1914, was the all surprising organ incident. We are not proposing even this three-hundred-and-sixty-five daysihence to divulge the names of the faithful and constant members whose fertile minds first originated the idea, but we certainly put the class of 1914 where even its sprinkling of Phi Beta Kappa grey matter failed to detect the trickery. And glitter, too, we have with our Daniel 1V ebsters and our great scholars; so let inge- uity, scholarship, dignity and, above all, social technique characterize the class of 1915. May she never fail to glorify Miami. 36 J UIIN SHERMAN BEEKLEY, 'Phrenocon, 43 B K, West Chester, Ohio. lV'Iiami Union, Treasurer 02L Cercle Francais, Vice President Class 02L Foot Ball Squad 2 63L Assistant Basket Ball Dlanager GD, Basket Ball Manager MO, Recensio Staff Ch, Junior Prom.

JIurray Sheehan, 08. WWW Sixteen President RALPH EDGAR CRANSTON , T reasurer BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SUFFRON President of Women GRACE OLIVE SMITH HE class of N ineteen Hundred Sixteen is now well entered upon its upper-class experience. Of its achievements in the Freshman and Sophomore years one may read in former numbers of the Recensio, clothed in all the charac- teristic bombast 0f the conventional underclass history. In the judgment of the University as aWhole, its Prom. was a success. The details of that social event are set forth to some length in pages that follow. It is sufficient to say here that it feels natural pride in the ef- forts of its Prom. Committee. As for this book its other Class labor, let it be its own advocate. VHOW far the class has met its responsi- bilities and its Obligations remains for the judgment of the student body as a Whole, not for itself, to decide. 54 WILLIAM OSMOND BARTON. q; A 8, Bellefontaine, Ohio. . Here is a perfectly good example of what are the effects of a mind too logical. llBarty,' once took logic, and ever since he has waded through every math course in the curriculum with a degree of facility that is simply amaz- ing. He is also one of our most regular chapel attendants; his other snoozing place is the Phi Delt front porch. RAYMOND ST. CLAIR BECKEL, B 9 II, Newark, Ohio. Beck possesses brains, the ability to play base hall, an Oxford College girl and an in- extinguishable smile. lVe are undecided as to whether he is a crook or a philanthrophist but we all know fromsad experience that he is a pool shark. Ray loves our Classic Village and is a veteran member of the ancient order of the Campus Rats. W'e doubt if we could pub- lish a history of his Summer school adventures in this censured edition of the Recensio. Any- Vay suggestion is always more forceful than description so we will leave the worst un- written. CARL HOFMANN BOGART, Phrenocon, Wapakoneta, Ohio: t Bogart. sayis heis from lVapakoneta but never- the less he is not. He hails from New Knox- ville, a purely German settlement many miles from the Indian city of W'apak. Notwith- standing, the aforementioned, liBoggie has a nice little girl back home. He tries to run the Phrenocon boarding club and swears at the boys when they steal his tungsten lights. Carl is a real track man, an efficient librarian, and is strong for Social W'elfare stuff. If this isnt Versatility we are badly mistaken. '55 EVERETT RICHARD BOLLINGER, S2 W P, Dayton, Ohio. llBollieil Will work anywhere you hitch him. He has a mania for hard labor, physical or mental. What he knows about athletics would fill a volume of no mean proportions. He is a catcher of the best variety and his speed in pegging to second may be likened to that of a projectile hurled from a German siege mortar. Last of all he has demonstrated the brilliancy of his future business career by the way he handled the finances of the Junior Prom. WILLIAM HOOVER BROWN, cp A e, Morral, Ohio, Hoover is the man Who put Bloonlight Ap- preciation in the hIiami curriculum. He is lldown hereh as he terms it, trying to secure an education. With the aid of mid-night oil, a pair of track pants, a little Christian Science and his old friend, themoon, he has three-fourths succeeded. llBrownie,, distinguished himself by acquiring two Science majors as a Freshman. There- action has been terrible, he has repented. Though not forgetting the exactness Which research ought to impart, his daily routine now consists of intermittent eating, reciting, fussing .and sleeping. JACKSON TITUs BUTTERFIELD, B 8 H, College Hill, Ohio. Jack does nothing by halves. He either wears a countenance-suffusing smile or is on an eighteen carat grouch. In love he is equal- ly single minded and sincere. In Football he tackles as ruthlessly as a Jap in a storming party With a brain full of Visions of a glorious finish for the glory of the Son of Heaven. Some people think Jack is snubbing them When he is only absent minded, or thinking of Oxford College. We hope Jack lives to give Cincy one last memory of his prowess next Thanksgiving. 56 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CLAYPOOL, A K E, India- napohs, Ind1ana, Ben is by way of being a native of Indian- apolis. That is, his Clothes, when he is on dress parade, would seem to suggest some such place of nativity. Otherwise he is as safe and sane a citizen as we have about campus. Basket ball, high-jumping ton the dark nightsi, Agriculture tthe experimental varietyl and personally conducted tours of inspection in the environs of the Deke pantry are his tom's de force. ROY EDSON CRAIG, 82 W P, Overpeck, Ohio. Wle have heard of hen peeked, but when it comes to ltOverpeckii we must stop and begin to investigate. Well, Overpeck has been cast off from Hamilton in the same way that, according to the Nebular Hypothesis, our earth was cast off from the sun. N evertheless, llTonyi, comes to us from Overpeck. Tony can give utterance to more nonsensiial ex- pressions in a shorter time than anyone in school save Sam Rogers and little Charlie Fabing. Tony is interested in Oxford College. RALPH EDGAR CRANSTON, B 9 II, Piqua, Ohio. This is a rare specimen of the almost extinct species troubadour. Ralph exists in a universe of mingled love and music and. pours out his very soul in harmony at the barest suggestion of moonlight. Last June he took a fatal step but since we all approve his taste we refrain from any mention of it beyond, giving our unqualified sanction to the impending great event. Cranny is now Chief executive of our Class and as such of course deserves a eulogy far beyond our poor literary powers. Wle predict that Cranny will go a long way with his floods of harmony, his slightly rumpled hair and that little troubled smile. 57 ARTHUR CRIST, S2 if P, Brookville, Ohio. This is our Bush League second baseman, one of the charter members of the Piper Heidsiek Ornery .Fraternity of Miami,s pre- cultural days. Arthur has several other side- lines almost as good as baseball. He has an apparently appalling distaste for the attentions of the fair seX Which can permit of but one interpretation. We have a hunch that ilShorty,i Will knock a home run on the dia- mond called the world outside. RAYMOND LEE CROZIER, q; A 9, Madison, Indiana. Cop, the blase, the tres exquis, the immac- ulately attired, is that same Cop Who in jersey and courderoys, on the memorable night of the storming of Oxford College by Miami,s Mexican Army, smiled into the muzzle of Dean McLean,s wobbling automatic and an- swered the ttAmazon of Butler Countyisii in- terrogation as to his identity With, ilIill send overaboy With my card in the morning, Dean. ii an answer worthy of the most courtly cav- aliers of the Old Miami. Like the Parisian of the Riz La CroiX Cigarette Paper Ad., Cop has as his Chief attributes, savoir faire and ton. Also he has passed that period of naivete wherein men fall in love; in short Cop is Wise. ROBERT GOODMAN DAVIS, 52 if P, Tippecanoe, City, Ohio. ilHock,i is the worthy successor of itTag,, Evans of sainted memory. In order to re- inforce his propensities for the noise produc- tion, he got busy and established the best band Miami ever had. No Solomon in all his glory was ever arrayed as ttHoeki, When in full band regalia; neither was Herod ever so out-Heroded as When he comes upon the foot- ball field at the head of this company of Or- pheuses. Our subject under discussion has a happy faculty of slipping it over an unsus- pecting prof. occasionally; notice how po- litely Mr. Kuhne thanked him for coming to class one day When he was particularly well prepared to recite in Spanish. However, ilHockii manages to get along With the best of them, and it is only a question of time until he Will either achieve fame as a Wielder of the baton, or shine as a member of the Rock- efeller Institute. 58 ROBERT WENTZ EDMISTON, Phrenocon, Wapak- oneta, Ohio. Our subject is a track man, a Chem. shark and .a tangoist of the most depraved sort. Some people think Bob is sour on the world, but he is not for he has been known to even smile a few times. He travels over a road beset with covered bridges and marauders to see his girl every other night except during Exam. Week, rain or shine. tilt,s a long, long way to NIorning Sun but Bobis heartis right there? . PAUL DROWN GARD, A K E, Toledo, Ohio. itPiggyisii reputation was made the moment the orchestra took up the strains of the Miami March Song and 1916s famous prom began. We are all grateful for the amount of time, talent and technique which iiPiggyii put into that great endeavor of his, but there is one more effort though which we are not in the humor to leave unmentioned; remember that speech of his apropos of the drubbing we gave Cincinnati beginning, wFm tickled to death?J He has a smile of the variety which is in- effacable. It positively will not be removed. There is besides the disposition which accomp- anies such a possession. itPiggyh refuses to become iiwrathyh over anything, iVIath, EC., 800., French, or any of our sometimes wrath producing entertainments included. PEARL ERNEST GAST, Adelphic, Okeana, Ohio. This is Miamiis rough neck Puritan, a veritable Ohio N azarite. Gastis first and Chief loveis the bible and sundry paper backed commentaries thereon, which he has the habit of carrying to class with him. His pet aversion is anything resembling a stiff collar or other such vanities of this world. We predict that Gast will make a real splash in the ecclesiastical puddle and that we may yet speak of him as the smiling Bishop. We almost forgot that smile, it is Gast,s proudest possession and doubtless re- duces the light bills at the Adelphic house. 59- ROBERT A. GILLESPIE, E X, Hamilton, Ohio. Bob keeps his own counsel so we have nothing on him. There should be various dark and dreadful suspicions about such a person but our imagination has never risen to the point where we could View Bob as a desperate,se- cretive Character. Bob is not rough like his silent partner Tommie, in fact we have every reason to believe him amenable to discipline though the unknown goddess has yet to say the last word on that. Run along Bob, we like you. MARCUS SELDEN GOLDMAN, A T, Middletown, Ohio. When informed that he vas to be our editor, Marc exclaimed, iiFiat mixtura secundum artem? Hence this book. T hough pos- sessing a few idiosyncrasies, a conceded con- noisseur of literature, the arts and other more or less classical symposia, he has been around just long enough to be the man for the job; this also serves to divert his mind from such indulgences as that Epilogue of Oxford Col- lege Romance, original translations from the Latin, and the too fervent admiration of his illustrious competitor, Lord Chesterfield. Last fall Marc discovered that cross-oountry did not comport with aesthetic tastes, much to the disappointment of Delta Upsilon. llVale in pace,,, Marcus, we predict for you a most expeditious future. HUGH GILMORE HEITSMAN, Adelphic, Morning Sun, Ohio. Judging from his name, Hugh is a Dutchman. Be this as it may, we do know that he hails from an unpretentious little burg, lVIorning Sun, barely meriting recognition on even the county map. Slim got his early college train- ing at that famous school of our fathers, Leb- anon University. Many were the pleasant associations he had there, and one is being continued here; This last is due to a law of attraction between two bodies, other than gravitation. Slim stuck over for Summer School last year. At that time he. was exposed to History and Government and in addition carried most successfully the courses, Camp- ustry and Bench Work. 6O IARL PRESTON HERBERT, 23 X, Dayton, Ohio. This is modesty and ability personified. Per- haps you havenit realized it before, for mod- esty is not an aggressive thing; but it is true, although the fact that our subject hails from the Gem City might imply a paradox; that is ordinarily speaking. Carl isnit ordinary. He is a really great man, though a freshman. may be on the campus a whole semester before he realizes it. That is why Carl is great. T 0 the few he is the Chevalier sans pew et sans reproche, and believe us, it is a privilege to be among the few. ' ELMER WILLIAM HINKLE, A K E, Monroe, Ohio. Oley is- a real business man and a would-he comedian, also he is something of a vocalist. When we were freshmen in the golden days before DOC Youngis autocratic rule had re- duced the dorms to a condition of almost nerve racking quiet, Elmer was one Of those Choice spirits who nightly poured forth their souls Skyward in floods of mingled melody and discord. Since our late president D011 F raser deserted our ranks, Uley has been more. amenable to discipline. Elmer is iisonieii business manager and we cant give him too much credit for his part in getting out this volume. JOSEPH HOWARD KNEISLEY, Adelphic, Derby,0hi0. The accompanying illustration, is an excel- lent photographic reproduction of the Visage appertaining to the self appointed sage and dry wit 0f the class of 1916. N0 mortal is without glaring faults and Joe has two; he enjoys mathematics and dotes 0n the sciences, being especially enamoured of physics. Joe,s wit is so wonderfully profound that we never get the point before we are called upon to save the joker himself from the rav- ages of his own internal laughter. Joe likes the commons. Some say his liking springs from the heart rather than from the digestive organ. God knows the truth. 61 HARRY WALLACE KUMLER, Oxford, Ohio. This is lVIiamYs famous feather-weight athlete. Scum can do most anything in an athletic line if he cares to make the effort. His rather diminutive carcass is practically all real stuff, in fact he is the one man we know who might lick the proverbial weight in Wildcats. You see there would be only one rather small cat. All this in spite of the fact that Scum smokes scags instead of eating. If it hadnit been for this one bad habit he might have had Blonk faded. Harry is not averse to the attention of the ladies and is a real Adonis in dress suit and tile. JOHN STEPHENS LATTA, College Corner, Ohio. This is a quiet smiling personage who rises early to make the six miles between his native hamlet and our glorious institution. John is rather good on the diamond when he con- descends to appear, and is a zoologist of no mean ability. Some people think that he has designs on a Ph. D. and regards himself as Dr. VVilliamsE logical successor but perhaps that is looking a bit far ahead. Be that as it may we are very grateful for his daily smile in the mean time. LAW'RENCE MAURICE LEONARD, CID A 6, London, Ohio. iiBungi, was one of those indefatigable work- ers on our famous iiPromh. Not only did he labor well and wisely, but his appearance at that festive occasion was of vast signifi- cance for those who were in on the affair. However, he has done a great deal other than take part in festivities, as witness the regalia in which the Junior Class blossomed forth shortly after thanksgiving. BIoreover, to hear him discuss the reality of the unreal at half-past-seven on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays With Dr. Sigsbee, one would come to the conclusion that there is something of far reaching destiny in iiBungis,i make-up. 62 CHARLES LONG, Richmond, Kentucky. iiChucki, is a gentleman, Democrat, lover and judge of Kentucky,s most famous product. He hails from that state, which will explain a number of things. There is nothing of Cyrenaic in his make-up, either. Long, lean lanky, he can do more work in two minutes than most of his friends can encompass in' five. He took a course in Shakesperean drama once, just once, and ever since he has had aspirations to become a lVIacbeth; not for the purpose histrionie, but so that he might kill the man who invented such a subject. iiChuck,i will some day become a mighty fine lawyer, and we all herewith promise to' let him plead our first trip to the divorce court. CLIFTON EARL MCFADDEN, CD A 9, Ridgeville, Indiana. This is Mac, Mac of the siren voice hve refer to the whistle not the mythological being and the wonderful pompadour. Some one once called him, with apologies to Maurice Hewlett, iiBrazen Lungs the Great? lVlac lost nothing when he quit going out for football. He is just as attractive with a megaphone as he ever was in a suit, in fact as the girls say mfar cuter? Mac is one of those reliable students. He does not worry about As but has Bs delivered in earload lots. We pre- dict a startling future for this Hibernian prOdigy. FREDERRICK HARLAN McMILLAN, Phrenocon, Peebles, Ohlo. Have you seen that would-be-Rooseveltian guy strolling about the campus, pestering people with stale jokes? Thatis Mehiillian. NIaC was kicked off the Varsity Band because he didnit have wind enough to blow the snare drum. Since this discouragement, Mac al- though an Irishman has been seriously think- ing of joining the ranks of the Fatherland as a drummer boy. The fact that he is major- ing in German under Dr. Handschin offers sOme excuse for this attitude. Mac spends much time studying Zoology, trying to teach Prof.Whitcon1b some Chemistry and running to Cincinnati .to see his girl, who meets him there. 63 JAY WENDELL MINNICH, Q i! P, Bradford, Ohio, Jay is exposed, disposed, and opposed to some courses and is taking others. It is true that more occult mysteries of Analytics did not at first find a lodging place in his brain which was too well stocked with Craveris English, but later he distinguished himself by being the only one in a repeaters section to glide safely through this most despised of Math. courses. J ay believes in women and the Little God with pin feathers. Not the least exciting of his love adventures, rumor has it, was when Jay fell for a pretty Indianapolis widow in the days When he made dry batteries for elec- tric signals on the C. H. SzD. Jay is Mialniis single candidate for the All-State Basket Ball five. He is ia veritable demon at dropping the big pill into the basket. MARVIN PIERCE, B 9 II, Dayton, Ohio. . This is our lVIiami Brickley, a rare combination of the athlete, scholar, courtier, and rough neck. Archimedes had nothing on Monk, neither had Beau Brulnmel, nor has Christy Mathewson, or a certain flannel trousered Senior we refrain from mentioning. Monks life at Miami has been devoted to three great tasks, the accumulation of every species of honor. escaping from fair admirers, and trying to seem wrutm. In the first he has succeeded without trying, in the second he has made some progress against heavy odds, in the last he has made failure his only one. No, ttCap, Pierce, your rough voice and Piper and cor- duroys can't make us forget the gentle tones, the light grey suit, and the three dollar knit ties of those happy freshman days before you learned to Chew. CLYDE STEEL PIPER, Miamisburg, Ohio. Piper is one of the Kaiserls own and hails from that southern Ohio village where they still know how to make sauerkraut and pro- hibition is as yet unheard of. The luscious Chewing so well known to us all was not named after Clyde, yet we have a suspicion that over indulgence in this luxury may have added to the almost cubist squareness of jaw that we notice in this excellent likeness of our pre- sent Victim. Clyde has the Teutonic Virtues of industry and application. 64 HOWARD FOSTER Ross, 23 X, Blanchester, Ohio. A foot-ball man is he, a basket-ball man is he, a base ball man is he; what more can you ask of any man? F urthermore, there are very few in the University who shine more brilliantly at the art of Terpischore. And the way in which he escorts the sophomore N ormal bunch out of Chapel is quite tiscrum- tioush to behold. ilHe was a man, take him all in all, I shall not look upon his like again? ROBERT STADLER, Oxfords Ohio. Bob is the cleanest man in the University, look at the laundering he does. Outside of this he is a pretty good scout, though. Some basket ball man, too, if anyone happened to ask. Somehow or other he can most general- ly be found in the library; whether this be from a keen sense of duty, or just for instance, is purely a matter of conjecture. ALoNzo CLEMENS RUIHLEY, q; B K, Archbold, Ohio. Snakes is Phi Beta Kappa stuff and abasket ball star as well, which is saying a lot for an individual with his rather drowsy general attitude. Three years ago we used to look with mild pity at Alonzo studying on a campus bench in the spring sunshine while the rest of us were devising and putting into execution innumerable time-wasting schemes. Now we know that Alonzo was the one who used his iicanh, also we have discovered that he isn,t a genuine grind. 65 HUGH RANDALL STUBBs, West Elkton, Ohio. Hughie is a bad man. He never did anything very Wicked in his life but he is a bad man just the same. Hughie looks like a cross between an Alpine jager, a franc tireur and a professor emeritus of Bible history. His smile is omnipresent 0n the campus and as eternal as the hills of the psalmist. It is at once a taunt and a benediction. As a humorist Hughie ranks somewhere between the dubs Who pun in Latin and'the oracle 0f the cross roads grocery store. We have been trying to get sore at him for three years but gave it up last week being converts to his philosophy. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SUFFRON, Peebles, Ohio. Ben. is a native of Adams county, that land of hills and disenfranchised prominent citizens. Ben was too young to vote When he came to us and s0 happily escaped the temptations of the county of his nativity. Ben speaks its dialect With an odd little twist on the words that the girls simply liadoreh. He comes in for some little adoration for other reasons too for his countenance is not at all an ill thing to look upon, Ben possesses that keen- ness of intellect Which has always distinguished the representatives of the upland counties of Ohio. SILAS BENSON TRUMBO, A T, Donnelsville, Ohio. By his intimates Si has been called iiPepf, There are worlds of irony in that modest ap- pelation. Si can do most anything, but would rather not. In spite of this fact he brazenly pretends to be an apostle of Dr. Toddis Gospel of Echiency. But even in spite of his un- agressive attitude Si does manage to get a lot done. Viewed at a distance, in Winter in a small brown toque Which he habitually affects, Si looks like a Kalmuck or a Cossack 0f the Den. The Recensio Will give a carload of a certain sour citrus fruit to anyone Who can swear to disliking this sunshine dispenser. 66 HARVEY JOHNSON BUNCE, A T, Kenton, Ohio. Harve has been kidded so much about his feet since he came to college we will refrain from any remarks about the nether portions of his anatomy. He has other attributes however offering some Chance for comment. One is his voice, which is tenor and quite in keeping with his stature. Another is his ability as a lady fusser which can not be sufficiently extolled. Those who know say that his methods in this chief of the Miami Fine Arts are remarkably sim- ple, informal, and aggressive. Harvels greatest sorrow is that we decline to take him seriously. v To have a last shot at his voice; no one is long allowed to remain in ignorance of its quality for Slim has the All-lVIiami serenading record and long since has made the night-wandering troubadours of old Provence turn in their graves with envy if a high tenor carries that far. SAMUEL GRIFFITH ROGERS, E X, Moscow, Ohio. This is our little Sammy, the boy with the small body and the wee hoarse voice. Sam. is so diminuitive that he never fails to attract such comment from the ladies as lth see the dear little fellow? Isnit he the sweetest thingy, and ttIsnlt it brave of him to tackle that one hundred and fifty pound quarter- backii. Not the least important of Samis attributes is the ability to be witty at all times and to compress a vast amount of sarcasm into a short sentence uttered in that wee hoarse voice. Many a freshman has felt his cranium shrink Visably under the pressure of Samis nonchalant remarks on vernal in- signifigance. We are with you Sam, whether you are on the gridiron or braced against Overholtzls Barber Pole, discussing iinothingb with awe inspiring gravity of demeanor. All the time! SAMUEL CRAIG THOMPSON, 2 X, Defiance, Ohio. Tommiels forte is minding his own business. If the rest of us possessed this Virtue of unob- trusiveness to anything like the degree in which it characterizes the pride of Defiance, Miami would be a very island of rest, and such fa- miliars as Dame Rumor and the Campus Gossip would find life intolerable. Tommie always manages to turn his work out in good shape and in spite of this and his other cardinal Virtue gets a good time out of his college life. He will make a real agriculturist some day. 67 JOHN DUER DOUGHTON, S2 x1! P, Hubbard, Ohio. J immy comes first talphabeticallyl on this page devoted to those reclaimed from darkness and error. In spite of his infatuation for manual training he has remained long enough to become a Junior and is taking some real cultural studies to balance the Normal side of him. Jimmy can run and he avers that he once held his own with Dr. Handschin in a boxing bout. While we are not able to verify this absolute- ly we admit it takes iisomeh man to even make such a statement. Jimmy talks on the campus in a loud voice about the glories of Youngstown and then adds in a much lower one. I come from Hubbard, but then I know all about the Big City . ASA EARLE GEETING, Adelphic, Oxford, Ohio. Asa has done a great amount of Hopping during his college course. He started out like a sen- sible mortal with aspiration toward an A. B. degree when he was a freshman. Last year he suffered a lapse of judgment and went in for the low-brow sciences and the Art Ped- egogic. N ow he is repentant and though it is to late to work out his first plans he is sticking around with the lirm intention of making the best of his opportunities and landing a B. S. as a consolation prize. JAMES AUSTIN MOORE, A T, Edinburg, Indiana. This is efficiency incarnate. James gets out all his lessons, teaches manual training in the Oxford High School and sleeps fourteen hours out of every twenty four in addition to being one of the best always-on-the-job fussers around our historic institution. He dis- played his usual astute good sense this fall in remedying a blunder of his freshman year by deserting the Normal College and its bar- barian culture courses and taking all Liberal Arts Work. 68 JOSEPHINE MELVINA ANDREWS, K T 23, Conneaut, Ohio. Sweet, studious, serene, Joe can make As and B,s While the rest of us just stand around and look Wise. She is all there When it comes to bobbing up and down in meetings, too, thereby doing her duty to all parties concern- ed and fulfilling her destiny as one of the high lights of 1916. - EVELYN EMMA BORGER, T renton, Ohio. ilAnyone Who knows more Latin, Greek or Dlathematics than Evelyn please hold up your hands, if you do not, forever hold your peace, for she can very safely go it alone? Not satisfied With What knowledge she could accquire last year she felt called upon to attend llSummer SchoollK and had one of the times of her young life. With her propensity for study comes an accompanying lack of infor- matiOn concerning her, hence the brevity of this biography. ZELPHA CATHERINE BROOKLY, A A A, West Alexand- ria, Ohio. Zelpha is particularly well known on account of her sunny smile and her girlish, gurgling giggle. She is one of the many co-eds Who really appreciate Dr. Clarke,s courses. The words liMargaret and I ll form three-fourths of her conversation. Zelpha has never dabbled much in love, but present prospects look promising; 69 GLADYS CUMMINGS, Xenia, Ohio. She calmly announces her preference for Cravefs English courses. Her meekness is only skin deep; once she got 83C i,- you should have seen her meekness take to the uncut. Her highest ambition is to win the Nobel Prize for her keen interpretation of Vogfs hieroglyphics. ORPHA MARIE FRITZ, East Alexandria, Ohio. 0h, Governors! did you hear that giggle? It came from this one. If you donlt think she has the real Miami spirit, just go down to 3 Cincinnati game and hear her root, or watch her beat the Seniors at their own game of swiping caps and gowns. Blath is her middle name, her last is safe from the dep- redations of men, for they are the least of her thoughts. NELLE VANVIER HECK, Englewood, Ohio. A taffy-haired, silver-tongued orator of the junior class making a specialty of Farmer's and Teachers Institutes. Mix well a large portion of athletics, a dash of Y. W. C. A., then pepper with all kinds of iipeph; the result Will be a llHeek,l of a combination. .70i MARVENE GRACE HOWARD, A Z, Circleville, Ohio. The longest girl in the University: long on looks, long on brains, and long in the hearts of her classmates. She is amiable, sweet tempered and full of fun, but my! how absent- minded. Here is a first rate example of this latter quality: One day she was comfortably ensconced in her room reading one of Victoria Cross, latest When somebody knocked at the door. Marvene turned a page, got a new grip on her Spearmint Without looking up, and very pleasantly yelled, itGood-byeh. The poor girl who had come to Visit her felt quite out of tune toward her until she happened to remember lVIarvene,s pitiable idiosyncrasy. She is a fine table companion, knowing as she does some hundred or so after-dinner stories Which she has on tap in that fertile brain of hers along With Greek and Metaphysics. HAZEL MARIE LONG, Ostrander, Ohio. If you donit know Hazel it is time you made her acquaintance. If youire down in your luck, go to Hazel; if your Check hasnit come, go to Hazel; if 'anything under the sun is wrong, go to Hazel, for she is so constituted that she can take care of all human ills, can trans- form iibluesii into bright, bright itredsm and you live much happier ever after. ADA ELIZABETH MORRIS, Hamilton, Ohio. A far away look in her eyes seemingly indic- ative of her Chief Characteristics. From her performance in class, however, one is led to believe that her mind is not so far away after all. OLOE MARIE MYERS, X 52, Kenton, Ohio. Dlarie has been with us so long that we have all come to know her. She is energetic, am- bitious, studious, jolly, athletic, and distinctly individual; she has taken part in all sorts of contests, and has, no doubt, a whole trunk full of numerals. Her attitude when walk- ing is of a style all its own. Some say it is so like a mans walk because of her abhorenee for girls. Her taste in the sex of her preference is changeable, however; last year we all sup- posed her fate to be adequately sealed, but now lVIarie goes in more strongly for basket- ball than ever and has no decided interest in masculinity. HELEN JOSEPHINE PFAU, A A A, Cincinnati, Ohio. Helen is the girl that Jack left. His leaving, how- ever, does not seem to have forced her into a weeping widowhood. As a matter of fact, though, it is rather tough that Jack had to go to hiiehigan for the finishing touches, we are sure she could have put those on, her- self; perhaps he will turn out all right in the end any hOXVwWe hope so. Everybody likes Helen, they could not very well help it; but she is a trifle conservative in her own likes; for instance, her studies are all so uninteresting. she particularly loathes sports, but above all does she detest gym. There is one thing which she just doats on, in spite of her mul- titudinous general dislikes: ask her to pass the condensed milk. CLARA POLLOCK, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Here is the bright and shining light of the junior class. She is also a regular little in- ventress of startling ideas. Her principal bids for immortality consist in basket ball, tennis. class room reeitations, and plain, old, everyday rough houses. She dosnlt care for hlianli men, as far as we have been able to ascertain, but my! how she does like shoes. It took some seventeen million pairs of seniorsi shoes to gratify ithis depraved taste of hers. There are those also who say that she has an insane craving for combs and brushes, we have not the facts in this case: perhaps the senior girls could vouch for this statement. 72 JULIA ROGERS, K T 2, Hillsboro, Ohio. This is the young lady Who stands behind the desk in the library and tries so hard to see that everyone is satisfied With the books she hands out. She is a shark on telling folks to iilook it up in the catalogue? She is shy, reserved, and almost despises to talk. There is no indication that-she is in love, either, except perhaps her decided preference for pickles. An old gypsy once told her, iiMy dear child, you Will never change your name? We often wonder if it will be necessary. MARIE SEAL, Harrison, Ohio. Last years Normal College turned her out in the perfection you are now called upon to Witness. Quiet, distant, reserved, but When once you have broken down the wall she has built up around her it all is metamorphosed into one of the most tractable dispositions we have ever run across. It is said that she oceassionally swoops down on the kitchen, and never has she returned empty handed; although once all she got was a cake of Lenox soap. She has all kinds of ideas, sometimes she puts them into effect against her friends on the second floor; to Which friends you must apply if you would know her entire biography. RENNIE SEBRING-SMITH, A Z, Benham, Ind. Rennie is the lady,s name, a hyphenated Smith is she; she tried to bribe us to keep still, but weire giving her away, you see. Real- ly there isnit time enough to mention all her sins, so well just note a few of them. First and foremost she terrorizes Bishop Hall by crowing like a rooster after the lights are out, Climbing the wall backward upon any occas- sion of a test in physics or French, and Cleaning up On the bunch generally. She keeps her lights going at all hours of the night, When the spirit moves her, and When questioned by the Dean on the subject, she calmly replies, iiOh, I havenit put them out yet? 73 GRACE SMITH, X 52, Eaton, Ohio. Grace is inclined to have a conscience. Now conscience is all right to have upon Sunday morning, but they are dreadfully inconven- ient to have when one is proctor and lives in the same suite with Ima Watterson. We think there is a mysterious lover somewhere in the background, but along with that con- science Grace has also a certain reticence concerning her affairs that is hard to pene- trate. In fact this whole thing is mostly guess; so don,t take too much of it to heart. FLORENCE WASSERMAN, X 9, Blanchester, Ohio' Hockey! Base ball! Basket ball! Tennis! Straight tlA,s,i! This is Florence. She does them all, and does them all so well that there is scarcely anything remaining to be said. The rest of us are so jealous of her performances that to wax prolix in the slightest would mean to wax profane over our own little accomplish- ments. MARIE WELLER, X 9, Bellbrook, Ohio. Marie, hm! After you have said that a girl is in love, what more is there to be said about her? T hen, when you can also say that the object of said affection is safely roped, hog-tied and securely bound with one large Phi Delt pin, the evidence is all in, except that we might add that Blarie is a nice girl who deserves to be happy. tThat last remark ought to make her snort even if the first one didn'tJ 74 IMA WATTERSON, X 9, Kalida, Ohio. Ima, described geographically, is a tall skin- ny body entirely surrounded by pep . In fact pep is her middle name. Her princi- pal ingredients are noise, great ability to make Miss Norris mad, two feet Whose dancing propensities she expects some day to Win a large amount of fame for her upon the stage, a good memory When it comes to stories, and a seemingly great attraction. for an equally tall, skinny man, Q.

HE CLASS of Seventeen has passed on to one morestage of its journey. The bitterness of the tug of war is past, the bruises are healed, and the pants are dry. The foun- tain, no longer a fountain but a rock pile, is fading into oblivion. The corduroys, too, unwashed and indestructible have come and gone. But the Class; of 17 will always be remembered, if for only one custom, one tradition, it has added to the lore of Old Miami. The Sophomore Hop Will never be forgotten. An idea hitherto unthought of, a gym comparable in beauty only to the Junior From, a hundred and, fifty couples gliding over the floor to rapturOus music, or munching delicious footballs of cake, pro- grammes wonderfully novel and unique; planned by Sophomores, executed by Sophomores, made a success by Sophomores; this is the Tipurple patch,, in the history of Seventeen.

Regis- tration! That bewildering schedule offered an amazing array of subjects from which to choose; and we chose only to find that we must take this and not that, that and not this. Then came that puzzling account of board and room, lab. fees and ineidentals, whatnots and et ceteras until it all culminated in a telegram home. that for? Ask father. Of course, we were victorious in pulling the sophomores through the Tallawanda,-are we not freshmen? ' Then came the freshman caps. We wish to express our heart felt thanks for this kind- ness. It is seldom, indeed, that one is afforded such a splendid opportunity for purchasing such stylish headgear at so insignifigant a price. Will any of us ever forget those first class meetings, when everyone talked at once, when the air was filled with party tickets, ring leaders, the Australian ballot system and all the excitement of the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November? But we finally settled down, however only to be confronted with the momentous question of who is the prettiest girl. After these important matters were adjusted to the satisfaction of almost everyone we were ready for the fun to begin. We had a party at Hepburn Hall where 110 men tried their best to be nice to 37 girls. After that we were entertained by the freshman Normals, who gave us a dance. Here oeeured a multiplicity of girls. iVe all had aiipeach of a tinle,,, however. But we are really not so frivolous as all this would lead one to believe, for besides having athletes in the gym, blowers in the band, Carusos in the Glee Club, warblers in the Eladrigal and llMarji, in the Mid-Year, most of us managed to pass our exams. Now we are hop- ing that when J une 1918 comes around the faculty will feel like sitting back and remarking, ilThey go out from here a credit to the institution. F . D.

We entered this illustrious institution hoping blindly 'to attain and some day become teachers, but always with the hidden thought in our minds, that we might not always have to teach all our lives. Some of our number have had this iihidden thoughti, grow into a beautiful reality; but what about the rest of us? Well, we shall go out into the world on our mission in life, the mission which men say is next to that highest mission of womanhood. For our seven illustrious men we predict a future which only men that have braved the storms of a Normal College could possibly have, so from them we expect wonderful things. At first, to be sure, we were called iimere childreni, but gradually the expression grew until now it is i competent in the teaching profession. i At first, and for many long weary months we sought for ttthe attitude i. We hunted it wherever we went in every nook and cranny, but at last we found it! Where? Down in the atmosphere of a real McGufTey schoool room, looking into the faces of it's boys and girlsethere we found that hazy, intangible something which is called iiThe At- titudeii. But now at last we are leaving itOld Miami,,, and our hearts are heavy with regret. Though these days have been busy, sometimes full of worry and pain, nevertheless it hurts more than we can tell to realize that we are really leaving. Only a parting word to those who come after us,edont fail to smile whenever you can at your troubles and cheer up, for you will find iithe Attitude,i if you look hard enough for it. J . H .

In starting to write the history of this now famous class, I am not going to make the mistake of using that trite, old statement about being the greenest of the green, for everyone of the older students would doubt the veracity of the remark, and they would immediately declare that we appeared to be the most intelligent, most distinguished looking class that had ever favored the campus in the history of the institution. Of course, it was natural that we should become sadly mixed when it came to reaching the right class rooms at the very start. However, after the first few weeks we became thor- oughly acclimated, and felt perfectly competent to throw away those highly prized schedule slips which we had so cherished at the beginning. We have, however in the class of 1916, one peculiarity which adds quite a distinction; that is, we are only threatened with men, there being but sixteen men among some hundred and sixty girls. I think that we freshman have been able to acquire about all there is coming to us; one thing, however, which we find very difficult to keep; and that is the hinge upon which the door of our training turns, the Attitude!

The night be? fore the Sophomore class of the Ohio State Normal Col- lege presented tiAlice Sit by the Fire T, by Sir J ames Barrie. This de- lightful c 0 m e d y with its splendid acting was an ideal ti opener T, for the L weekis festivities. As w i t h a storm was the audi- ence overwhelmed by the humor of ttThe Mollusch as produced the fol- lowing Tuesday evening by the Senior Class in the Auditorium. Student night E arrived last years i strictly on time,was celebrated per ' sched ule, and passed into history as a happy event. . 3' The song fest 0f the Glee and Mad- rigal Clubs as well V as the usual procesa i sion and iipeerade, 3 made the program well balanced; cer- tainly it was well given. Baccalaureate address was preach-i ed by Dr. Shailer Matthews. About forty voices from R the Glee and Madrigal Clubs furnished a fitting close to the Sabbath of Com- mencement week in rendering the sacred concert at the Auditorium. One hundred and seventy-seven young men and women were graduated from Miami University at the seventy-hfth annual commencement. Of this number, eighty received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the College of Liberal Arts, and ninety-seven were awarded teacherts diplomas by the Ohio State N ormal College. The speaker of the day was the Hon, Federico Alfonso Pezet, Envoy EX- traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Republic Of Peru to the United States. The subject of his scholarly address was ttContrast in the Development of Nationality in Anglo and Latin America? There were four honorary degrees conferred as follows: Homer B. W7illiams, president of the Bowling Green State N ormal School, Doctor of Pedagogy; Daniel William Cooper, ,57, one of the founders of Sigma Chi, Doctor of Divinity; Samuel Spahr Laws, ,48, Doctor of Letters; and Federico Alfonso Pezet, Doctor of Laws. 160 Oratory and Debate THE TRUSTEES ORATORICAL PRIZE The Trustees Oratorical Prize for the Year 1914, was won by Victor Schmidt 01' the class of 1917. His subject was ttPeaceK, The quality of all orations was excellent and a decision was reached by the judges only after very careful deliberation. The Trustees OratoriCal Prize amounts to twenty-five dollars and is offered annually for the best original oration delivered at the annual oratorical contest in May. THE ' EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKIN G CONTEST President Hughes, Prize of Five dollars offered annually for the best extemporaneous speech delivered at the Spring Contest in extemporaneous speaking was won by J oseph Fichter 0f the Class of 1915, by a speech on Compulsory Chapel Attendance. 161 X rim: LTET' ' e The Quadrangular Debatlng League HE Old 'llriangular Debating League of 1913e1914 was broken up this yxar to form a new, Pentagonal league, composed of Kentucky State University, Ohio Ivniver- sity, Dension Ifniversity, The University of Cincinnati, and Miami University. Kentucky State University withdrew from the league after all arrangements for the series of debates had been decided upon thus necessitating a hurried rearrangement. The present Quadrangular League is the result of this reorganization. In this ar'angement each team meets but two of the others, Nlianii's opponents were Ohio Universitj and the l'niversity of Cincinnati. The Question for debate in the League was tTResolved That the I'nited States should incr xase its naval expenditures to the amount recommended by the Na Val Advisory Board The team debating at home in each 'ase upheld the affirmative. Miamiis affirinz'ltive team which met Ohio at Oxford was, Stunip-Captain, Creel'aft. and Fink, with Belt and Sexton as alternates. The Judges were Professor E. C. Putnum of Butler College, Professor Putnam of lVittenberg College, and Professor E. P. Trueblood of Carlham College. The deeesion was a Q to 1 vote in favor of Ohio. A decision in favor of either eontestant would not have seemed unfair. Elianiils Negative Team Composed of Fichter-tlaptain. Schmidt, and ,Koenig with Olt and Kirbg as alternates Inet defeat at Cin- cinnati, also by a 2 to 1 decision. This eontest was also close and the decision was in doubt until the vote of the judges had been handed in. The thought and delivery of the Miami debaters was very favorably commented upon by the Cincinnati press. In spite of the unfavorable results 01' the seasons contests, Miami is to be congratulatml upon the good form and ability shown by her debating teams and owes a vote of thanks to Professor Gates for his untiring efforts as coach. The results of the Qiuulrangnlar contest are as follows,in terms of the vote of the judges: At. Athens, Denison 1, Ohio 1; At Granville, Cincinnati 1, Denison 2; At Cincinati, Blialni 1, Cincinnati 2; Al, Oxford, Ohio 2, Miami 1. T ht?

Men were prominent in college in those days according to their prominence in its greatest under- graduate organization. Out of the struggles for the chief ofhces in Erodelphian, it might almost be said, arose the Whole fabric of the college fraternity system in the west. , In the ante bellum days many of the great men of the nation spoke at th meetings of the society and some of the proudest names of the Republic were borne upon the rolls of the Society,s honorary membership. Erodelphian died like all other Miami Organizations in 1873 but was among the first of the Old Miami institutions to be revived after the reopening of the College in 1885. Since then its existence has been a varied one, often precarious owing to the nation Wide decline in interest in literary societies, but always the reaction has come in time to preserve the 01d organization. At present Erodel- phian seems upon the threshold of a renaissance, and the revival of interest among its members is very evident. The valuable 01d library of the society was presented to the University and new forms a part Of the collection of old and rare books in . the Alumni Library. Many interesting relics of the past are preserved in the Erodelphian Hall including the famous bust of President Bishop, the charter granted by the state, the 01d balloting device, and pictures of long dead dignitaries, some of Whom traveled hundreds of miles by stage and river to address the society on the occasion of its annual public exercises. ,165mnh Miami Union Officers 1th Term Pregz'deni ............

In the days of old the rivalry of the two societies was intense, dividing the college into two great camps. It was Miami Union Which gave to President Benjamin Harrison his first training in oratory and debate. Upon its old membership rolls, it displays the names of other sons of Miami scarcely less famous. In the days of the Univer- sityts reconstruction after its opening in 1885, the present chief executive of Miami. was one of the members of the revived literary society. During recent. years Miami Union has been able to maintain a good member- ship and its, meetings are uniformly attended. It now differs from its old rival in that it has no numerical limit on membership but is open to all interested in oratory and debate. The Miami Union Hall ,is one of the historic places in the Old Main Building and the owl still looks down from the dusty niche Where it perched in the days before the War, listening to the fledgeling oratory of many Who were destined to be heard in other and more famous halls. 167 mgmmmKWtw w 7 w 3; u; y rgcpg V: Liberal Arts Club Pain; 71 assesx MRS FRANK L.

In its bi-Weekly meetings, the Club endeavors to give to its members some information on a subject of real interest While at the same time giving them practice in speaking in public, by the delivery of well prepared talks. The Club this year has Chosen to study Ohio, and the programs have all centered about the history of the State. The Social Meeting carried out the general plan still farther in a party at Which both the gowns and the forms of amusement were such as might have been found at a simi- lar gathering in the Ohio of fifty years ago.

They were remarkably suc- cessful in their efforts,with the result that Thalian is experiencing the best year of its history. The membership is now fifty. The meetings are most enthusiastic and helpful and are in addition most pleasurable from the purely social standpoint. The programs have been of a more varied character than in previous years, being so planned as to be interesting and helpful to members taking Widely different branches of normal work. Plans for next years work are already well under way, and the members of Thalian believe that the Society is' destined to prove an ever growing factor in the development of Ohio State Normal College. 173 ii i I I'm idmzi : FOREST SELBY ASA GICETINU ChX'IL GICETING SMITH GICETING Rr'ru ELDER ETHEL BROWN ' f$,' flJQZEHrfix?; - Qf75t'mw Swrefa ry JOSEPHINE MvIN'rlm: Membem ETELYN BOBBENMYER C-anMELL IlUSTON ELISE ECK ZETA MCCURDY G ER T R L' DE VVALLACE 174 Treasurer MARTHA ZIEGLER JOHN DMXMITON ISABELLE KEY EDITH SPINNING J OSEPH C HAM B ICRS RUDOLPH SIBHOLT The Manual Arts Club HE lVlanual Arts Club is an organization of those students in the Univer- sity Who are interested in domestic science, manual training, and agri- culture. The active membership numbers about fifty. The club meets regularly every two weeks during the school year. A printed program was issued soon after the Opening of School; it consisted of re- ports of educational meetings, of neW phases of the work, of Visits to other schools and industrial plants, and discussions which are of interest to the students and prospective teachers. The social side has not been neglected; an effort was made to make new students feel at home and ample opportunity given for the older ones to become better acquainted. A permanent social committee added a great deal to the general pleasure of the meetings by its preparation of entertainment aside from the mere routine of regular business. 175 The Miami Pre-Medic Club ft 091's Presidenf I'z'ce-Preshlmt Secretary and Treasurer JOSEPH LINDNER GEORGE MCKHANN MILDRED SNIDER Members FRANK BERKS HEWITT HANNAH LLOYD REESE hEUlWE BENZING PAI'L IJULTZMILLER EVERETT SIMMONS HANNA?

SCHATTSCHNEIDER HIS year has seen the formation of What is believed by its Organizers to be one of the most important departments of a modern college. NIany have realized the seeming- ly Wide gap between the college and the business world. but heretofore little has been done to bridge this gap. It is now believed that With the present ideas of the Com- mercial Club carried out, a very important beginning toward this end has been made. The club has discussions on live business problems of the day, and the alumni, WhO are successes along specific lines of business endeavor, have been asked to make addresses. Talks by Dr. T odd, Mr. F enner, Dr. Brandon, and Mr. Shera have been made, and in F ebruary the Club had the pleasure of hearing several lectures from John R. Simpson, 0f the Class of 1890, Vice-President of Wm. FileneTs Sons Company, Of Boston. Chas.A. MacCauley, eX-1898, State Agent, John Hancock Life Insurance C0., of De- troit, 1Wich., gave a series of interesting lectures, before the Club during the month of March. The Major Botany Club President HARLEY BROWN S ecretary FRED PRUDEN HIS is an organization of those students Who are specializing in Botany. Its activity consists of seminar work, the studies in the lives of eminent botanists, the reading of papers contributed by Miami Alumni who have done graduate work in the field of botany and the securing of lectures by botanists 0f prominence,wh0 address the Club on various special phases of the science. The work of the Club has been highly help- ful to its members during the current year and has done much to create a truly scientihc interest in this important branch of N atural Science. 177 Cercle Francais HE Cercle Francais has this year succeeded in arousing a real interest in the French language and literature throughout the University. Meetings are held once a month, open to all students in French. The programs have included lectures on F rench life, cities and customs by Dr. Brandon, Prof. Khune, and Prof. Young. Light re- freshments served at the close of the meetings have materially contributed to their social feature. The membership of the Cercle has been about thirty-five and the attendance at meetings large. , The officers for the last semester were: PresidenthARRY MCCOY Vice-President-leTARGARET RALSTON Secretary and Treasurer-ETHEL1NE RALSTON Der Deutsche Verein URIN G the several years that Der Deutsche Verein has existed at NIiami, the one just passed has been perhaps the most sucessful, due in a large part to the interest that Dr. Held has shown in directing the club, and the aid which both he and Dr. Handschin have given the various committees. The organization is made up of the students who have had one years work in' German, and its purpose is to promote the use of good German and, at the same time, to create in the students an interest in German life, manners and customs. The Verein meets every two weeks, and its programs are very interesting. The meet- ings are devoted to the singing of German folk-songs and the songs of the fatherland, informal lectures by the professors, and the presentation of plays. An occassional evening is spent in- an entirely social way. On the evening of December 20th, under the direction of Dr. Held, a Christmas party was given at the University Commons. Christmas Carols were sung and several Christmas stories were read; while the Weihnachtsbaum and Lebkuchen gave the proper atmosphere to everything. The officers of the club for the past semester have been: PresidenteETHEL MELLINGER Vice-PresidenteS. C. THOMPSON Secretary- Treasurer-ANNE HABEKOST Pianist-MAR10N HOWARD 17's The Classical Club and Latin and in the life and culture of classic lands and times. Meetings are held every two weeks under the direction of Dr. Clark, Dean Hamilton, and Professor Hadsel. The programs consist in the singing of Greek and Latin songs, stereopti- can lectures on classical subjects, talks and papers by the members on the results of indi- vidual investigation and the presentation of translations of Latin Comedies. Refreshments are served at the close of each meeting, adding much to the social element of the gatherings. The Club has added much to the interest in Greek and Latin Culture. ' I 'HE Classical Club is an organization of those students Who are interested in Greek The Social Welfare Club sor Paul Vogt 0f the Department of Sociology. Students in the Liberal Arts Col- lege enrolled in courses of Sociology 0r intending to enter upon professions in Which the element of public service figures prominently, constitute its membership. The Club has made a study of live social problems at its meetings and has been the means of bringing such representative people as Owen R. Lovejoy; Dr. F rank Garland, Di- rector of Public Welfarefin the City of Dayton; Miss Hilda Mills, Secretary of the Associated Charities at Hamilton, Ohio; Dr. H. D. Upson, Head Of the Dayton Bureau of Municipal Research, and others of equal prominence to Oxford for lectures on subjects related to Public Welfare and Social Service. . The Club promises to be a real asset to the University and t0 the community at large since its study is to be practical as well as theoretical. ' I 'HE Social Welfare Club was organized this year under the supervision of Profes- 179 The Archaeological Society URIN G its seven years of existence in Oxford, the Archaeological Society has become well known, so the reporters no longer ask, iiHow do you spell that nameiw, but accept the society and its lectures as a regular part of an Oxford season. The society is, as a matter of fact, a branch of the national organization known as the Archaeological Institute of America, which has now forty-three societies located chiefly in the larger cities of the United States and Canada, with a total membership of over three thousand. The Institute not only furnishes each year a large number of lectures upon arch- aeological and art topics, but helps to support schools for study and archaeological research in Athens, Rome, Jerusalem, and in Santa Fe, New NIexico. The Oxford Society usually receives three lectures each season furnished by the insti- tute free of expense to us, to which the local society adds one or two others. This is the means of bringing together a number of people from the three colleges and the town who are interested in fine arts generally, whether in ancient or modern times The program of lectures this season has been as follows: Bliss Caroline Dean Blanchard of Oxford College on iiThe Old Blissions 0f Californiah; lVIr. Garret Chatfield Pier, 0f Chi- cago 0n iiThe Architecture and Sculpture of Old J apan,i; Professor John G. Winter, of Mich- igan University on tiOn the Track of Ulysses: Brlodern Views of Ancient Cities ; Miss ,3 Elizabeth Loraine Bishop, of the Western College, on iiRome . F. L. CLARK, Secretary. 180 The Varsity Band PRINGING into existence with the opening of the Football Season, but refusing to die at its close, the Varsity Band this year became a permanent organization With a set time for practicing and a determined purpose to accomplish something along musical lines. Firm in their determination to make the Band a permanent college organization, the members hat all worked hard during the winter to perfect themselves in the production of a repertoire from Which selections might be made, suitable for rendition on any occasion. The grade of work which the Band has done speaks for itself, and today instead of a crowd of makers of unharmonious and discordant noises, the Band is an organization of real musi- cians playng real music. 181 President ...........

SEXTON CECIL GEETING The Student Forum E ARE all particularly proud of our Student Forum; it reflects thoroughe ly the democracy Which is so definitely infused in the mind of the student body. . This institution is composed of a senate that acts as an execu- tive body passing upon all questions of moment which arise relative to the con- duct 0f the students. Its action is then laid before the Forum, composed of the entire student body, for final consideration. In this way we are absolutely self- governed. Among the most important actions taken during passed years were the adop- tion of the honor system and fixing upon a definite insignia to be worn by the incoming freshmen. The present year has seen the addition of several new rulings. Probably the most important of these was the action taken concerning election to student Oflices. This ruling forbids trafficing between organizations or individ- uals for the purpose of forming a machine under penalty of having the election nullified when evidence that such acombination has been entered upon by the person elected, has been proven. Another decision modified the license of the honor system to such extent that the further removal of examination papers from the class room must be accounted for upon the endorsement of the paper at the end of the examination. The Forum is highly indicative of the capabilities of Miami students, and is a governing body of efliciency, utility and justice to such extent that its removal would work to the detriment of the University.

A., the president of the Girlsi Liberal Arts Club, the president of the Pierian and Thalian Literary Societies, the house chairmen ' of Bishop and Hepburn Halls, president of the Girls, Athletic Associations, besides rep- resentatives from the Student Senate and from the staff of the lVIiami Student. The pur- pose of such a membership is to have all the various student aetivies represented. The purpose of the council is to secure the CO-operation of all the classes and organizations in the University for the improvement of the social life, looking after the generalwelfare, and instituting and promoting a system of self-government among Miami girls. i The council is invested With the power to make and enforce all rules pertaining to the social, campus and dormitory life of the girls of the University, and to determine upon and administer all' penalties for Violating these rules. Girls Who do not observe the rules are ' summoned before the council and given a trial. The rules, for the most part, apply to both -the upper and lower classes; however, the seniors and the sophomores N ormal girls are al- lowed certain privileges. Some Of the most important rulings 0f the council follow: All arrangements for social engagements must be made by reporting to the Dean of Women. Friday and Saturday evenings may be used for social engagements, calls and parties. Sunday is kept free from engagements With men, except in the case of out-of-town Vis- itors, When special permission must be obtained from the Dean. All girls are especially urged to Observe the rule Which forbids walking With men in the evening. Freshman girls may have only tWO social engagements each weeke-ethis to include in- vitations to dinner in town, engagements With men for athletic events, concerts, parties, dances, calls and all campus happenings.

The management this year has in every degree maintained the stand- ard set in former years. The job of chasing down all items of news which are likely to be of interest in a college the size of Miami is by no means a- small one; however, this has been done during the present year in a manner which reflects credit to the entire personneluof the staff. The wit of our professors has been de- . lineated, the fragmentary items of news have been rendered truly and accurate- i ly, and there have been no libel suits filed against the editor. As a molder of public opinion the Student has been particularly successful this year; even the editorials were read with a degree of avidity which was almost alarming at times. As a reflection of student life, the Student has fulfilled its requirements in a manner wholly adequate. There are means afforded for the purpose of express- ing public opinion by publishing letters from anyone who has a kick coming, there is a whole page devoted to the doings of our alumni; and a' new feature, that of reporting the activities of other institutions, has met an approval in which is highly deserved. On the whole the Student fills a niche in the affeCtions of Miami people which can be taken care of in no other way. 189 v ,3. am 3W an-m-Z .-o Y. M. C; A.

The Home Concert, as usual was given earlier in the season. Mr. G.

Miss Nelle Smith, an alumna member of the Club, added to her previously won laurels by her wonderful solo work. Miss Ellen Finley easily made a place for herself in the esteem of both her audiences by the quality of her tones and expression. The work done by the quartette was also of high merit and caused much en- thusiastic comment. As in previous seasons the success of the Club was directly due to the efforts and skill of Miss Norris in its management and direction. The program printed below is that of the Hamilton Concert, that of the Home Concert was identical except for the substitution of Holmes, ttVision of the Queeanor the Cantata ttAcross the Fields to Annex and that the other music was selections by the Schnellsch- midt Trioinstead 0f the Solos by Mr. Hooven.

The year has been notable for the adoption of the new danees as a part of the regular Varsity programs after most eareful deliberation 0n the part of the Social Ad- visory Committee of the faculty. The position of the monthly dance as 21 fixed and defi- nite part of the social life of Miami has been greatly strengthened by the 19141-15 series. 197 -' W 7'.

The decorative scheme, aMoorish garden in dark rich colors with enough of white to further accentuate the strength of its general motif, was as perfect in its execution as it was daring in its conception. The brilliant minereted landscape 0n the walls, the low white railing, the fountain splashing in the middle of the open space were as a bit of Old Fez in dreams. It is impossible to sufficiently commend hlr. Gard, the committee and above all the designing artist, Mr. Leslie Hall, for the taste, the skill, and the rare artistic imagination shown in the development of this difficult decorative scheme. The music was excellent, the program and refreshments the best we have ever known, but they are as so many pleasant incidentals compared to the witchery 0f the hTOOI'ish garden. Those few hours in that enchanted place will live always .in the memory of everyone who heard the plashing 0f the little fountain that wonderful night of January twenty-ninth. 199 V, The Sophomore Hop N the autumn of last year, the class of 1917 inaugurated a new social event which promises to become a perennial portion of the Universityls regular social calendar; namely the Sophomore Hop. Although such an affair had been discussed by previous classes, it remained for the class of 1917 to ag- gressively assume the initiative and put the idea into actual execution. The committee in chargehandled their task with remarkable skill and the result was a dance second only to the Junior Prom in size and in beauty of decoration. Herron Gymnasium was decorated for the occassion in the class colors, orange and black; an excellent orchestra of the first class furnished the music of the evening and excellent refreshments were served during the intermission. One of the clever ideas of the committee was the honoring 0f Miamiis Victorious fooball team in many delicate ways. The programs bore 0n the cover the picture of a football player, while the names of the 7M7 men and the scores of the season were printed on the margains 0f the leaves. Footballs were used in the dec- orations, while even the ice cream in the form of a diminutive gridiron warrior bore witness of the spirit which pervaded the gathering. - All Miami rejoices in the establishment of this new social tradition and it is to be hoped that the Sophomore Hop will assume new importance with each succeeding year. Too much credit can not be given the class of 1917 for its in-. itiative and cleverness in the creation of Miamfs Iirst Sophomore Hop. 200 xe '3 .- mxxis ' Dramaties been held by the dramatic interests. The formation of adramatie society, Ye Merrie Players, some years ago; an organization affiliated With The Drama League Of America, has added much to the general knowledge of, and interest in, plays and play-acting, among the Whole student body. Its membership consists of those Who have taken part in a Mid-Year play and of some few others Who are particularly qualihed by their dramatic tastes. There are also a number of resident alumni and honorary members in the Village. The Drama probably receives as much 01' more serious attention at Miami as at any college of like size in this section. A Mid-Year play is produced annually, part being assigned after a competition open to all members of the student body. A play presented by the Senior Class of the College Of Liberal Arts, and one by the Sophomore Normal Class are annual features of Commencement week. a N important place in the undergraduate activities at hIiami has long 201 Mid-Year Play ITH it B u n t y P u l l s the Strings , a play of Smteh life in a small town, Ye Merry Players added one more to their already long list of successes. For true interpretation of the Characters protrayed and for quaintness of scenic setting this year's production was scarcely approachable by any play yet given by the 10 'al organization. Bliss Loueille Allen was uniquein her rendition of Bunty Bigger. a scheming. wire-pulling, but withal, a 10 'able Scotch lassie. DIr. Robert Roudehush in the char- acter 0f Tammas Bigger, the Village leader, walked through his part as if he. really had lived in such a community all his life. Mr. Milton W'right occassioned many a laugh by his consistent interpretation of a young Scotch elder much in love who, at the same time, had many trials before he finally became the hen-peeked husband of Bunty. Bliss Leta Browning realized her opportunities to the fullest in playing the part of Susie Simpson, the aunt of W'eelum Sprunt and aspirant for the hand of Tammas Bigger. Miss Elise Butz as Eelen Dunlap, the perpetual bride, won many a round of applause by her Clever acting of a difficult part. 311'. Harry Brown as Jeems, the 01d sexton, gave perhaps the most artistic character- ization in the whole performance. He deserves much commendation for doing so well what little he had to do. Miss Marjorie Carson, as Teenie Dunlap, niece of Eelen Dunlap and sweetheart 0f Rab Bigger, was charming. She went through her lines in a manner highly deserving a better part. Mr. Malcolm Clark, as Rab Bigger gave an excellent characterization of a Scotch youth who had tired of the simple country life and longed for the excitement of the city. Mr. A. L. Gates is to be congratulated upon the success of ttBunty Pulls the Strings't as it was due to his artistic acumen, his indefatigable energy and contagious enthusiasm as director that brought the play to its final triumphal close.

The soul of Miami is always the same, though she be the butt of intrigues Of her rivals, though systems of education alien to the great Visions of her founders be thrust upon her, she is still in spirit the grand development of the ideal of those Who laid her foundations in the Wilderness a century ago, of those Who studied in her halls in the golden days of her unchallenged supremacy and went forth to write their names and the collegeis upon the unperishable rolls of fame. In some few pages that follow we have tried in a small way to show the glory of the grand old college in other days, and to give some faint suggestion of the love of her that abides With all to Whom is given the rare privelege 0f saluting her as Alma Mater. Yet let none think that all the greatness of Miami lies in her wondrous past, for though the old days may seem through romance, far better ones than the days of the present, the days of the future hold more of promise than the most optimistic son of Miami has dared to dream of. That future holds the fulfill- ment of Miami,s interupted destiny, a destiny of which no son of hers may think of Without emotion. 209 Miamiis Roll of Fame DECEASED ALUMN I BENJAMIN HARRISON, 0f the class of 18752, soldier, lawyer, and statesman, President of the United States.

Alas, the slender obelisks that guard Those Erodelphians of long ago, Are witness to a finer sort of thing Than we of later generations know. Almost a hundred years have passed since first They laid them lovingly upon the crest Of that low hill, whence they might ever look Toward iiLoved Miamiii from their place of rest; Yet still we read the motto, and the rose Ensculptored blooms upon the weathering stone And still we read the lesson iiHe who loves His fellows Shall not dread the word,ealone., 9 In the cemetery out beyond the Western stand three gray stone obelisks bearing the Latin inscription iiVale Mi Frater,, and the seal of the Erodelphian Literary Society with an enseulptored rose. They were erected by that organ- ization in the late Thirties and Early Forties to mark the last resting place of three of its members who died in college far from their homes, and are a mute testimonial to the love which bound these men to their fellows and t0 the high idealism Which pervaded the student body at that time. 211 Some Reminiscences 0f the Miami 0f Forty Years Ago The following is a sketch fmm a letter of William Sloane Kennedy of the Class of 1871; to the Editor of the Recensio and is published with full permission of M r. Kennedy. It gives a striking picture of the life at M iami more than F arty years ago. The Editor regrets that much of the rare finish of M r. Kennedyk wiiting and many illustrations of his profound scholarship and easy conversance with the literature of all ages and nations are lost by the arbitiary separation of this particulm section from the whole. The limitation of space in this volume and the personal nature of portions however prevent its publication here in its entirety. ' ihCome now, my muse; strike up a sweeter strain. We are asked to sing a little about tithe Golden Age of lVIiami Universityii, where you and I once experienced hardships and softships, nourished great thoughts of life to come and experienced itthat fine fugitive first of alli, sensations as we contemplated time and man. iiThe orchard lands of Long Ago! 0 drowsy winds, awake and blow The snowy blossoms back to me, And all the buds that used to be. i, For these lines of Whitcomb Riley were penned there in that strangely poetical and stimulating region of southern Ohio and Southern Indiana, where I lived and sang, not Riley alone but the Cary sisters, Maurice Thompson, Lew Wallace and others of as fine a fibre if not so famous an output. Thompson in his great poem on the mocking bird hits off a salient nature-point of that blue-hilled Southern Ohio when he speaks of the iieoolness and the languor of old woodsiiand tithe pungent savor 0f the dewy buds? Add to this Walt Whitmanis hiviolets spotting the gray debrisii and you get the very spirit of the thingbthe genius loci. When I think, in addition, of the overwhelming beauty of the sunrises and sun- sets I at least find that few countries or places I have seen equal southern Ohio for poetic inspiration and old Greek stimulus to study. I would scarcely except Italy or England. Looking back now and seeing it imbued with the poetry of distance, it thrills me through and through. Those delicious Commencement Day Times! The pretty muslinly be-rib- boned girls of the Colleges, the lemonade and the odor of the new mown grass laid low by the might of Hugh Kelly, the good, taciturn, slack-twisted janitor, the cool shade of the in- 2'12 numerable trees tseemingly the original primeval growthi, the grass, the birds in gladsome - Chang, the speeches of the young protagonists on the stage, it is all there in my mind. And somehow, too, the delicious lemonade odors of Papis and the spicy perfumes of Richey,s and Gilchristis drug stores seems ineradicable from my senses. Oh it is a fine land for one to nourish a youth sublime with the fairy tales of science, and to dream of iiCousin Amy,, too! . . iiBoys are curious creaturesii says Henry M. Stanley in his autobiography, innocent as angels, proud as princes, spirited as heroes, vain as peacocks, stubborn as donkeys, silly as colts, and as emotional as girls. ,, Another educator, Professor Launsberry of Yale speaks of iithe infinite capacity of the human brain to withstand the introduction of knowledge. Still another says iiYoung men think old men fools, and old men know young men to be so. ,i Well we had not yet assumed the latas claws and had our share of the battle between youth reluctant to be breechedz. I may perhaps say with Montaigne that I am fitter to be of- fered as an example of how not to be a success than otherwise as regards my college courses. I fear that in my devotion to the poetry and literature of Greece, by the silver eddies of Simois, tthanks to the kindness of Librarian McFarland in letting me into the inner shrine of the booksl I was too much like the Chinese builders who begin a house with a roof and a few sup- porting pillars, and build in the walls afterwards. But I dreeid my weird, followed my star, and got there at last, though with incredible suffering. . I am not sure that you should call the old times at Miami, iithe Golden Ageii. Golden ages in general are humbugs. Still Miami, I admit, had her heroes and first rate men in those times. A more lovable and ideal instructor than Hepburn you will search long to find. Grim old Bobby Bishop and his fellow Scott McFarland were rather too iiercely Seotian and pedagogic to be lovable, but they knew how to get their men to teach us to drive a straight furrow and to infuse a kind of moral conscientiousness into us. The young Virginian, Cole- man, was awalking Athenian who wrote Greek as he did English, a pupil of Gildersleeve, I believe. Scotch Cristie, tstill livingl taught me my Iirst Greek. But we were a raw col- lege I fear. We had no French and Italian and didnit get far beyond the parsing stage of the ancient languages. Still it was a good foundation, and the pleasure I have all my life taken in the modern languages was laid by Prof. Hepburn and others there. Dr. Hepburn was rather slender and I used to think, when I saw him, of the grammarian Philetas who was so thin as to be obliged to put lead in his shoes to avoid being blown away. It was the heavy brain of Hepburn that kept him from that fate I guess. The man who exercised the deepest influence on me was Professor Swing, whose eloquent nasal twang and plain facade to a true Greek spirit, a mind steeped to the saturation point in the old pagan culture and in the modern culture too, a fact that differeneed him so markedly from the narrow sectaries who filled the Village pulpits of that time. I first felt in him What genus is and a world outlook. ' So banzai Miami and aloha to you from one who has never ceased to cherish a kind thought for his old foster nurse out there! WILLIAM SLOANE KENNEDY The Chapel Bell of Miami University The Chapel Bell, the Chapel Bell Rings out its wailing sound; Disturbing by its heavy swell, The air for miles around. At its fell stroke, from off my eyes Sleeps dull enchantment quickly flies, And sweet dreams say farewell. then shall I ever cease to curse That hateful Chapel Bell! I lose my breakfast every morne Compelled to hurry up, I leave the griddle cakes untouched, The coffee in the cup. Across the green, in haste, I Hy, While loud, against the morning sky Rings out the constant swell. Would that I had an Iron tongue To curse the Chapel Bell! Oxford, 1861. '- GEORGE CAMPBELL OGDEN Class of 1863. The poem above is one of the best known to generations of Bliami students of all the works of George Campbell Ogden to Whose honor the new dormitory, Ogden Hall. is shortly to be erected. Although it has frequently appeared in Miami publications, its own excellence would be reason enough for its appearance in this section even though the circumstances which make its reproduction at this time particularly Iitting did not exist. Though early morning Chapel is a thing of the past, the freshmen of today who awakes to the summons of the seven-thirty tocsin can find a note of fellow-feeling in this lament of a student of the sixties. 214 EEEB Egg a Cut by Vcourtesy of Cincinnati Enquirer B. a 13 33 EB B H B THE GEORGE C. OGDEN HALL OF MIAMI UNIVERSITY 215 The George Campbell Ogden Hall N April 1915 Miami University received the greatest gift in its history, a gift which seems to mean the beginning of a great new era of prosperity and progress for our venerable and beloved college. By the will of the late Mrs. Laura Ogden Whaling, Miami Univer- sity becomes possessed of the sum of $963,000 for the purpose of the erection of a great new dormitory for men to be a memorial to her brother, George Campbell Ogden 0f the class of 1863, and to be known as The George Campbell Ogden Hall. In addition the sum of $10,000 was set aside, the income to be perpetually used for the assistance of poor students attending the University, and Miami was made joint residual legatee with the Cincinnati Art Museum. The sum acruing t0 the University as a residual legacy will amount to between $200,000 and $300,000 and will be the beginning of what is hoped will some time be an en- dowment fund equal to that possessed by institutions similar to Miami in the East. lVIrs. VVhalings library, works of art and furniture were also presented to the University to form part of the equipment of the new dormitory. Plans for the George Campbell Ogden Hall were prepared before the death of Mrs.Whal- ing. The new dormitory will exceed anything of its kind in this section and will be on a par with the linest student residence buildings anywhere in America. It will be situated on the campus almost directly north of the Main Building, a spot particularly adapted for the erec- tion of a structure of its size and elegance. The Hall will be Greek in its general architec- tural lines and will be constructed of dark red tapestry brick with trimmings of white Bed- ford'limestone, A massive Greek portico will adorn the front supported by six Corinthian columns, thirty-five feet in height. The buildings will be three stories high with a frontage of 231 feet and a depth of 91 feet and will consist of a main central building flanked by im- posing wings. The main portion of the building will contain an assembly room on the ground floor 80 by 40 feet to be used for social functions and lectures. It will be known as the Fisk Room in honor of Charles H. Fiske, Mr. Ogdenis classmate and friend and one of the eX- ecutors of Mrs. Whaling,s estate. The plans of the new edifice were prepared by Architect Louis Dittoe of Cincinnati in colaboration with Mrs. Whaling, Mr. F iske and President Hughes. George Campbell Ogden in whose honor the new building is to be erected was a physi- cian, a poet and a gentleman 0f the old school. His tastes were artistic in the extreme and his life was devoted to study and the enjoyment of intellectual pursuits. A volume of his poems published after his death in 1911 becomes the property of Miami University as does also several family coats of arms and other articles with intimate associations. He pos- sessed not only ability as a poet and physician but like the artists of the Renaissance knew something of all the finer arts and was at once a painter of marked ability and a profound classicist . His interest in Miami University was constant throughout his life and the splendid memorial is accordingly the most appropiate that could possibly be erected. The effect of Mrs. Whaling,s magnificent bequest upon the future of the University can scarcely be overestimated. It makes possible a material increase in her student body and it adds to the pleasure of life upon the old campus. The endowment should give a sense of growing independence from any lingering fears of anything even bordering upon the condi- tions which led up to the catastrophe of 1873. It sets a precedent which if followed by alum- ni and friends of the institution may one day make Miami one of the wealthiest colleges of America with all the advantages to offer its students which such a position would afford. This gift should have a lasting spiritual effect as well as a physical one, and it is not beyond the limits of possibility that an historian of Miami shall date from it the beginning of a new epoch even as we date one now from the reopening in 1885. Nothing remains to be done except the formal acceptance of the gift by the trustees of the University at their annual meeting and the actual construction of the new dormi- tory. The same thoughtfulness which conceived the grand project worked out even the minutest details of its final execution. The greatest duty involved in the development of Mrs. VVhaling,s plan however now . devolves upon the student body of Miami, the duty of adequate appreciation, the duty of being fully worthy. If there is not the proper response to this magnificent stimulus, if this gift does not increase the amount of spirit in the student body collectively and individually, the student body is unworthy of such kindness. If such a magnificent demonstration of great love for Miami does not tend to make our love of Alma Mater larger and of a finer and less selfish. quality we are unworthy of our allegiance. If Miami is not greater, much greater because of the Whaling legacy it will be the fault of the student body not of her ochers. But there need be but little fear of any such un- worthiness. The old Miami Spirit grows stronger at the mere thought of the glories that lie in the future. The hearts of alumni and undergraduates alike are being bound to the old College by new and stronger bonds of loyalty. This is indeed the beginning of MiamYs second age of greatness and usefulness to all mankind. New life thrills the sometime iiYale of the Westii, the College that our fathers loved. In this bequest the Miami of the olden days speaks to the Miami of the present with words of promise for the Miami that is to be. In it we realize the unity of widely separated gener- ations when they are bound by a common love for such an institution as our Miami. 217 A Creed for a Miami Man BELIEVE in Miami University, her present, her great future, and her'most glorious past. I believe that no other educational institution has contributed so great- ly, proportionately, to the development of our country and I realize the great personal responsibility which such a record imposes upon each one Who calls Miami, Alma Mater. I believe in the ideals of her founders Who raised her edifices in the midst of the forest and brought culture into the Wilderness and I believe in the ultimate fulhllment of their dreams. I believe in the romance of Miami, in her legends and her traditions, and When I am afar off I shall think of the night voices of her campus and see in imag- ination her twin towers black against the star strewn sky. I believe in Miami Spirit Which knows not of defeat, in the ttdo or dieI, idea Which has made the old College famous, in the hope of better, greater things that lived eternal even in her darkest days. I belive that I should live Miami and talk Miami unceasingly, not only as an undergraduate but as an alumnus that her influence and prestige may be in- creased. I believe that one of the great duties of my life is to be worthy in all things of such an Alma Mater. 218 i N bletics The Athletic Board of Control Faculty JIembers DR. ARCHER E. YOUNG . DR. A.

Center 221 222 HE work of the NIiami football team of 1915 was, on the Whole, not entirely in keeping with the hope of bringing the state championship to Oxford, but the University put an eleven 0n the field which played the game at all times and took three set-backs with undaunted Spirits and 21 stronger determination to win. Otterbein, Oberlein, hIount Union,- Ohio Wesleyan, and Cincinnati were de- feated, while Miami lost to Ohio Univer- sity, Indiana State, and Denison, the team which acquired the state championship by winning the game at Oxford. MiamYs greatest ambition is to defeat Cincinnati University in the annual Thanksgiving game at Cincinnati. A review of this struggle shows the team at its best and the work of the individual players can be judged according to the ability each one displayed in this game. When Miami realized that the state championship was impossible, the team exerted every efforts to gain its second great aimeto defeat Cincinnati. To accomplish this end the men worked with redoubled efforts after the defeat by Denison, and each player took it upon himself to be in the best possible condition, a fact which proved to be such a great asset in winning the Cin- cinnati game. Thanksrivinr was an ideal dav for 5-, fa . football. Both teams were eager to settle the question as to which school had the better team. Pierce kicked Off to Cincin- nati. They gained a few yards and were then forced to punt. Landrey and Pruden went through the line for small gains and then Pierce punted. Butterfield and Rogers made tackles behind the line which made Cincinnati 223 kick again. Pierce and Reed gained consistently on end runsand forward passes, but Cincinnati 'zmle hack strong and recovered the ball. After a see-saw back and forth in the middle of the field, the quarter ended with the score nothing to nothing. Lzmdrey knocked down a forward pass, giving Bliaimi the ball. Pierce passed to Mattern for a twenty yard gain, but Cincy fought despe 'ater and held. They started iilarching down the field and Hnally scored a touchdown on a thirty-five yard forward pass. No goal was kicked, however. ' But- terfield received the kick-off and returned twenty yards. Pruden who was injured a few plays later, was replaced at fullback by Crawford who make consistent gains and executed long punts. The playing went from one end of the field to the other. Finally the half ended with the ball in lliamihs possession on Cincinnatits thirty five yard line. Both teams scored in the third quarter. Cincinnati was enabled to make a toucthan by the fierce bucking of Baer, their Chief ground gainer. He carried the ball to the one v'ard line from where Blont- gomery put it over on a quarterback through the line play. lliami from that point put all it had into the game. Crawford began a series of clever bucks which Cincinnati could not stop. Pierce and Reed worked . forward passes successfully and Landrey was p Q always good for a gain. The Miami line J V held like a stone wall. After Cincinnati scored the second touchdown it was NIiamits game, and the Oxford rooters were more confident then at the beginning of the contest. Crawford passed to Ross for a twenty- five yard gain. Pierce, Reed, and Cra'wford soon carried the Iv IV .4. 0f the final Whistle, which put an end to the football season. It was a great day for Miami University. A few words might be said of the prospect for 1916. The October ....... October ..... October. .... ........... 9. . . . .

Pierce has been elected captain and will play with the same back-field men again. Even though Miami did not win the Ohio Championship, its players were so highly rated that seven of them were put on the All Ohio team by the various newspaper reporters and coaches throughout the state. They are Earley, Baer, Rogers, Butterfield, i Reed, Landrey and Pierce. 1916 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September ........ Q6 ............... Open October ........ .

At a recent meeting of the Athletic Board of Control it was decided to engage C. S. Rbberts as Coach of all Athletics at Miami. Mr. Roberts has been at Bethany College, since 1913, and has made for himself a most enviable record, not only Succeeding in im- proving the athletics Of that institution but in winning the respect and high regard 0f the faculty and student body as well. In his college days he was center for Lawrence College, Wisconsin, and was twice chosen All-VVis- consin Center. He also won his letter in basket ball and track and took an interest in the minor sports. His line experience and rare ability in coaching line work should do much toward developing to even greater strength this already formidable part of Miamils eleven. The superior advantages of an all-year Coach have been clearly demonstrated wherever the system has been introduced and there can be but little doubt that it will improve the general character of our athletics. The present time is one of great oppor- tunity and Rh. Roberts with his practical experience in coaching successful teams, together with his all-around acquaintance with sport should be able to accomplish great things for Miami Athletics. hIiami has athletic material of high quality and abundant quantity and under the new coach and new system she should attain a higher place and greater honors in the realm of athletic achievement than its has ever been her fortune to possess in the past, full of victories though that past has been. lVIr. Reberts will find all Miami ready to give him enthusiastic support 1n any and all improvements he may inaugurate. 226 LANDREY AROUND MT.

Dr. Young takes charge of the freshman team and gets it into good condition in a couple of weeks. This eleven is given the plays of the team which Miami. is to meet the week following, and then before the Varsity plays the game it knows just what style of attack the opponents have. Coach Donnelly builds up a de- fense and then sets the freshmen team in action to see how much headway it can make with the plays. In this way the Miami team knows where to place its players on the defense and how to run the Offense. This year when Doctor Young issued his call for candidates a squad of twenty- flve men reported. The team was light but exceptionally fast and aggressive. Although the men could not stop the Varsityis line plunges, they were Often suc- cessful 0n the Offense. A few weeks after practice began the squad dwindled down to about eighteen men. Drake Was elected captain. The freshman line was composed of men some- what smaller than those on the Varsity. However, they played their positions well and received much valuable information as to how to make holes and block. The backfield men were small but fast. While they were unable to pierce the Miami line, they would often make substantial gains by forward passes and end runs. All the men were fighters and deserve a great deal of credit for the battle they put up against the regulars. Several of them will make strong additiOns t0 the Miami team next year. 229 Basket Ball Line- Up MINNICH. . . ..... . . .. ............. 1916 .......................

Four men were placed in this position during the season, and as a result the team-work and passing were never as good as if one man had played in all the games. Pierce was forced to dis- continue basketball on account of a bad knee. a Saylor and Coulter both played in several i games, while Dauer finished the last two games. He was a new man and will become a val- uable player with more experience. I The schedule included some of the best teams in the state. Denison easily defeated Miami twice, but Kenyon had to work hard for its double Victory. The team lost to Ohio Unixzersity by a large score at Athens, while in the return game Miami put up its best fight of the season and lost only by one point. According to precedent, Cincinnati was defeated at Oxford, but won at Cincinnati. Wittenberg, Wooster, and Akron were defeated, while the team lost to Oberlin and Mount Union. Of the thirteen games played, Miami lost nine and won four. Minnich was the scoring machine of the team. He not only averaged nearly five baskets a game, but also played the floor well. His long shots were often spectacular and thrilling. Ross was a good running mate for Minnich. Although he did not make as many baskets, he aided greatly in the passing and team-work. Captain Levering played exceptionally well whenever he could be in the game. Broken arches kept him from playing part of the season and often forced him to retire from the games he did start. Cartwright and Claypool were excellent guards. Their work was always of high order, both in guarding and returning the ball to the Miami forwards. Fiely, Landrey and Hansbarger, were substitutes. They had opportunities to display their skill in a few games and always showed up well. There are several men in the Freshman class who will be strong candidates for positions on the Varsity next year. Every night there was a squad of Freshmen on the floor which kept the regulars busy. Levering and Cartwright, on account of graduation, leave places for which members of the future SOphomore class will be real contenders. 331 The 1914 Basketball Season Miami ....................... 30 ..................

I '. .31 ' 232 The Baseball Season ASEBALL was probably the most sucessful of all the sports last year. When one considers that baseball has only been revived at Miami two years, and. that the strongest teams in the Ohio conference were met, he sees immediately that the record made in baseball was a trifle better than the one made in football. Miami held second place on the conference 011 account of losing' to Ohio University and Ohio Wesleyan. To more than overbalance these defeats, however, the team won from Cincinnati, Denison twice, Ohio State University, and Oberlin, making the Conference standing .714. The last game of theseason was a four to four fifteen inning tie at Cincinnati. The Ohio State team stopped off atOxford on its way home from a trip through the south. As the regular diamond was a sea of mud that day, a field x'as laid off in the Athletic Park. Bliami took the game by an exciting ninth inning rally in which the team scored two runs. During Spring Vacation Miami in 'aded Kentucky and won two out of the three games played. Otterbein and Oberlin both Inet defeat in Oxford. T hen the Team took a three day trip up-state, de- feating Denison, but losing to Otterbein in ten innings and Ohio University in twelve innings. Cincinnati was robbed of its game here by an ninth inning rally. Ohio Wlesleyan gave Miami its worst defeat by the score of ten to five. This was the only game lost by more than one run. a A trip in automobiles vas taken to Richmond, Indiana, where Earlham was easily defeated. The last game at Cincinnati was called at the end of fifteenth inning on account of darkness. Of the total'number of fourteen games played in and out of the Conference, Miami won nine, lost four, and tied one. 233 Base Ball Line- Up B0LL1NGER........................1916 .......................... .Catcher PIERCE ............................ 1916 ...........................

The Oxford course, which is three miles long . is an ideal one. taking in level stretches in- terspersed w i t h gruduallly sloping hills. and is stretch- cd out over well built roads so that wet weather does - not interfere with running. Great interest X 'as shown in cross country this fall. About thirty-five men were entered in each race and at no time was there a lessening in the spirit of rivalry. Harrison. a dimin- utive freshman, took the individual honors by winning all of the four races. He not only equaled the previous record for time, but in the last race, just before the Denison game. he hnished in fifteen 111inutes and thirty seconds, the fastest time in which the course has ever been run. Bogart. Ferguson, Edminston, and Bollinger were always among the first to cross the line. While the race is considered an inter-orgunization affair, the winner of which holds 21 large loving cup for one year, the three individual winners are given medals, and the ten men with the highest number of points are awarded numerals.

Each organiza- tion in the I'niver- sity placed teams in the first and s e e o n d divisions, while six organi- zations had enough men left over to form a third divi- sion. During the eourse of the winter these are nine games played in each division. and thus each team met every other team in that class. First division games are played on Saturday afternoons, while second and third teams play during the week. Varsity men are barred. This brings nearly every man in the University out for exercise at least once a week. The spirit of rival- ry is so great, however, that the 'arious organizations are given hours in the evening in Which the, teams may practice in the gymnasium. The three teams which represented Delta Kappa Epsilon this year made enviable records in that not one Of them lost any of the twenty-five games played. They have been awarded two shields for winning the championships of the first and second divisions. and also a pen- nant for winning that of the third.

The idea of the meet last spring was to hold contests of various kinds in which all men of the University except Seniors could participate. In order to keep up interest in football during the spring, most of the events consisted of drop kicking, forward passing, and punting. Crawford was the individual star, winning first place in both punting for distance and in forward passing. The two Miami pitchers, Pierce and Grabiel, tied in throwing a baseball for accuracy. Reed won the 50 yard dash against ten men. Gold, silver and bronze medals were given to Crawford, Cotton and Reed respectively. The following is a summary of the events of the meet.

The Sophomores, as is usual won the contest; the score was fifty- four to thirty-four. Although easily defeated in the tug-of-war, the class of N ineteen Hundred Seventeen won most of the events in the morning, thus making victory sure. Cvery event was hotly eontested by both classes, and although no fast time vars recorded in the races nor any great distance in the field events, the various eontests were extremely interesting to watch. In the morning the sophomores started out in the lead by winning the baseball game. but the Freshman picked up in the field events and at one time were Within three points of the Sophomores. The latter rallied, however, and pulled away from the umler-elassme'n in the high jump and the 4-40 yard dash. The contest was decided in the morning since the Sophomores were too far in the lead for the Freshmen to overtake them even by winning the rope pull. A seven inning baseball game, the first event of the day, was uncertain until the last out was made. It was a hotly contested pitchers, battle between lVonsettler and Heidelbaugh. While the latter struck out thirteen men, allowed six hits, and did not issue a pass, the former struck out ten men, allowed but two hits, and passed two batters. The Sophomores scored three in the fourth, but the Freshmen came back strong in the sixth and seored two. Only the work of the outfield saved the Sophomores from defeat. Next came the football events in which the Sophomores seemed to excel. In punting,r for distance, Crawford, Sophomore, won with 61 yards, Loudenback, Sophomore, second, and MeVay, Freshman,third. Then Fitzgerald, F reshman, won the drop kicking contest with five goals out of six trials, Greer, Freshman, second, and Crawford, Sophomore, third. MeVay, Freshman, won the forward pass for distanee with a throw of 48 yards, Crawford, Sophomore, took second, and Early, Sophomore, third. In the 100 yard dash, Clarke, Freshman, won in 102, while Rothwell andE 'ans, Soph- omores, took second and third respectively. Crawford, Sophomore put the shot 31feet, 7 inches. Earley, Sophomore, and Shupp, Freshman, made second and third. Rothwell and Hansbarger, Sophomores, tied for first place at 4 feet 11 inches in the high jump, and Loudenback, Sophomore, took third. Last of all the track events came the quarter mile. As the race was open to all F reshmen and Sophomores, fifteen men started. About the half-way mark, Hansbarger, Sophomore, took the lead and held it to the finish. Doughton and Brown, Sophomores finished second and third. The time of the race was 58.2. At 2:30 the two classes lined up on opposite sides of the Tallavanda with the big rope between them. As soon as the signal was given the Freshmen began to gain ground, simply dragging the struggling Sophomores across the mud and slime. which gave them no footing. Finally, the Sophomores, by a tremendous effort, sueeeeded is stopping in Inid-stream, but only for a minute. Although they fought for each ineh, the Sophomores could not with- stand the weight of the overwhelming nulnberof Freshmen and were slowly dragged to the other side. The Sophomores were drenched, but their Victory was by such a large margain that a ducking at the hands of a class which outnumbered them two to one did not detract from the glory of the Victorious Class of Nineteen Hundred Seventeen. to 2.

This organization, composed of most of the girls attending lliami, has for its principal aim the securing of every possible form of athletics for Miami girls. The rules for the association are made by the athletic board which is com- posed of the following: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, three student representatives, Dean Hamilton and Eliss Corner, the gymnasium in struetor. The Association possesses a very good equipment of basket balls, tennis rackets, hockey sticks, quoits and an arching course which every girl who belongs to the organization is entitled to use. During the past year the university has rented a field south of the campus for the outdoor work of the girls. At this time plans for the erection of a girls gynl- nasium on this field have been drawn up. The girls are all intensely interested in this new movement and have been working hard to increase the iigym fundfi The Girl's Athletic Association and its interests are becoming day by day :1 more powerful factor in the college life of the Bliami girl. 248 Girlst Athletics OR the past few years Bliami has been pressing steadily forward in the en- deavor to get all the girls in both colleges interested in some form of ath- letics. Each year has seen a nearer approach to the goal until in 19H- 1915 we may almost say that she has reached it, for there is scarcely one of the 372 girls in the two colleges who is not interested and actively participating in some one 01' more forms of athletics. The new Girls Athletic Field, the reser- vation of the Gym for the girls use at certain hours ,21011 day, the active work of the Athletic Association, and the keen interest taken by Miss Corner in the develop- ment of both field athletics and gym work are all contributing factors in the, general ad 'anee. HOCKEY Carly this fall hockey made its appearance on the athletic 'alendar of Miami girls. The new sport was received with almost unparalleled enthusiasm. Soon a 249 number of Class teams were organized and a regular series of matches played off which extended well into the winter; in fact only the most severe weather was able to effect the general interest in the game. A larger number of numerals was awarded in this sport than has previously ever been awarded in any one sport in a single season. TENNIS Last spring and this fall have both witnessed a most lively interest in tennis on the part of Miami girls. So great was vogue enjoyed by this sport that in spite of the fact that live 0f the University courts were reserved for the exclusive use of the girls, it was necessary to install a system of advance registration, to make sure that all might have an Opportunity to play. Even with this arrangement the demand far exceeded the accommodations and the courts were signed! up for several weeks in advance. BASKET BALL Basket ball has all due prominence in the athletic activities of Bliami girls. An elaborate schedule of inter-Class and inter-organization games is played off during the course of the winter. The teams are numerous enough to afford an opportunity of playing to practically every girl in the University who desires tp participate in this sport. - The great athletic event of the year for girls is the Hepburn Bishop Basket ball game and to play in this game is the greatest athletic honor a Miami girl can win next to the acquisision of a girls llMll. This year Hepburn Hall defeated Bishop by a score of 29 to 15. The game was marked by wild enthusiasm, rooting and the singing of parodies composed for the occasion. INDOOR BASE BALL Wlhile indoor base ball can scarcely be said to compete with hockey 0r basket ball in popularity it is still far from being Obsolete as a form of recreation among lVIiami girls. A regular indoor base ball tournament forms part of the regular winter athletic program. Each class and organization has its team and when the season is at its height Herron Gymnasium is often the scene of much exciting hitting and base running. 250 Lest the Bonehead Misunderstand HAT which appears on the pages which follow under the time-hallowed heading of Grinds was conceived in good humor, developed in jocosity and is published with the usual charity toward all and malice toward none.

SCHMIDTeI beg your pardon, professor, but do you mean: what are the minute organisms in the periphery of the human cranium whose function it is to impart to the cerebral cortex sensation of heat and cold, pressure and pain, the aforesaid periphery being hairless? PROF. SeYes, on second thought, I have no doubt that is what I mean. What discussion have you to offer. SCHMIDT-The case under consideration is one with abnormal idiosyncrasies. The condition of the epidermis on a bald head is very similar to that on the palm of the hand. There the sense of feeling is: PROF. S.$uite so, quite so. Mr. Claypool what is your opinion? B.

Her reception at the various colleges was in keeping with their respective need of new inmates. At Oxford College it was brilliant. She dined at the Deans, table, and the President herself interviewed the cook so that there were real crackers with the soup and the usual oleo was dispensed with to give place to the genuine product of bovine docility. She was allowed to inspect the sun parlor, and the girls were permitted to tango in order that her metropolitan sensitiveness might not be offended by the waltz and two-step. At Western she heard a lecture on the New Woman, gazed upon the likeness of Helen Peabody and was allowed to read the Mt. iHolyOke Catechism and best of all was assured that no trousered barbarians Would be permitted to disturb her studious centemplation save on those nights when there were enough serenaders to intimidate the watchman. At Miami she was shown a catalogue, listened to Dean Minnieh 0n the High Destiny 0f the Profession Pedagogic and - was at last delivered over to the kind oHices 0f the best salvers of seven or eight sororities and emerged from the Ordeal with a confused idea of things in general and much wonder about a certain organization named by two letters whose mem- bers possessed all Virtues and talents but particularly the GIFT OF TONGUES. Then she returned to the hamlet of her birth and enrolled in the leading Business College to learn stenography with the Observation, iiIf I go to Oxford College I shall spend my days in the parading of fine raiment and in the cultiva- tion of the AIR SOCIAL and my nights in wondering how I may secure a BID T 0 THE N EXT VARSITY and escape sundry and divers fines for the benefit of the ENDOWMENT F UND. If I go to the Western I will surfeit myself on primness, and dry learning, and my destiny will drag me into the fold of the Pankhursts or the F oreign Mission F ield. If I go to Miami Ishalllearn slovenly ways and become a sweatered woman and will eat out my heart in Jealousy over the favors the men lavish 0n the undeserving iiCOLLEGEii and in the end It shall be but a teacher of other womerfs Children. Therefore it is better that I become a pounder 0f typewriter keys and, attire myself modestly but in the mode and discourse of common interesting things so that in the end I may marry a mil- lionaire and have my own limousine?

This is unques- tionably a very beautiful child and the original has long since been pro- claimed a twentieth century Adonis by the feminine voices of Oxfords three institutions in unanimous chorus of assent. Yes, this pretty little girl, for you see the rogue is masquerading in female attire, is now a very tall, very handsome, very brainy and very athletic man. He is one of the premier fussers of our college and a track man of note, not to say anything of being the most grace- ful basket ball player on any organization team. He has been so unmercifully treated in the grinds of former publications, particularly by the jealous compilers of iigirlsi editionsh that we hesitated some time before publishing this. However the prayers of some of his intimates, who couldnit bear to see this testimonial to his juvenile beauty go to waste, at last prevailed over our chicken-hearted im- pulses.

I can nor walk With easy confidence, IVith that same pride that rings her like a Hame, But I must ever think WhO walked last year,e IVhose feet kept step Where now mine seek to do: And then I know that at this game of love I am an infant picking pretty pebbles Beside the reaches of the sounding sea, One little man-bead 0n the long string, Her rosary of conquest; and the campus Grows dark, and to my being creeps The ancient Liebschmerz and the age Old doubt Concerning reciprocity in things Like this, and all too foolishly I smile In answer to the greetings of our friends, Strolling at twilight back toward the long hall Where she must get her dinner, and in my mind Rise up neW plans political, for in that I have the greatness that I may not reach In this same game of love thatis not for me. 267 The Girls, Student QAn Appreciative Review by Robert, the IconoclasU NCE a year the feminine portion of the institution is given the necessary rope and is turned loose to graze in the fields of scholastic journalism. The ability and unusual perspicacity Which is shown at such times is amazing, to say the least. It is only at such times that the mere man realizes the keen and friendly interest Which our beauteous co-eds have in his activities and his personal foibles. The girls chose March twenty-fifth as a fitting date to inflict their periodical of protest on the unsuspecting student body. This years attempt surpassed all previous ones, both in form and subject matter. They demonstrated beyond any possible refutation that the type of college woman found here is possessed of a broader intellect than can be found anywhere else. The strict regard for facts in the write-ups, the refreshing bits of humor, the sensible editorials, the total absence of anything trite 0r vulgarethese were the outstanding characteristics of the issue. The delicately sarcastic way in Which they called our athletes attention to their inability to accomplish anything was both instructive and amus- ing. The attention of the administration was called to the deplorable handicaps under which the girls are laboring. They have no track nor base-ball coach, no pool rooms Where they could spend a quiet half hour of liesure, and the professors do not give them a fair chance to recite in classes. It is indeed pitiful. Let us unite our voices in giving three rousing cheers for the Girls, Issue of the Student. Raw! Raw! Raw I CUBIST SPRIN G SON G The Wind is balmy like vapours From a itHunkyii bakery shop, The Tallawanda is tawny Like sarsaparilla pop , The dandelions are blooming Like gobs of oleo, On a bright new, green pool table, In a pool room that I know. Your hair is thick like mop cord, Eyes green as stagnant pools, Yours is that type of brainlessness That makes all women fools. 268 ' What the Year 1914-1915 Has Brought Us The short business Career of Baer and Ells; The exclusive Mr. Wiley; A blood feud with Ohio; Ray HullTs Dimple; The final humiliation of Thobeis Fountain; The Sophomore Hop; Dr. Sigsbee and NIiss Corner; The Green T ree Inn; The new N ormal building; Scrapple; The Hiram Cut Ups Staley and Wagner; Broad Skirts; The Whaling Legacy; Raymond DuBois Cahall and his anglicisms; Campus Lights; The new Deke House; Harrison, the Human Flea; The Decay of Pseudo-Ruf-Neckism; Dr. Held; Wallie Pearsonis pompadour; The Saylor Library; More Efficiency; Prof. Ross in a new role; Its a long Way t0 t0 Tipperary; Red,s P001 room; The Power Lawn Mower; The T ransient NIr.

And all the knights of the most worshipful ordre made them haste that they myte obey thre lordls behest and in accord with what did him pleasure and so asembled on the day that was appoynted in the hall that is yclept the hall of Lewis. And when the companie was all gathered the grand prior, Sir Raymonde Le Hue made them ryte welcome of his cheer and spake them fair and soft saying that it pleasured him much that they were gathered, all in one fellowship there at his board, and showed unto each his proper siege and they sat down to meat. N ow those who were placed above the Salt were these, Sir Edgar Brand who sat even at the prioris right hand and Sir Everett the young who was yclept Archer because his sign was the Archer, and he had great skill of the arithmetic like Archimedes the pagan. And Sir F rank the clerk, who was of the Greeks, Sir Todd who was skilled in the ways of trade, and of the money lenders and the merchant folke for all hys knighthood, Sir Alferd that was hight Le Up Ham for that being hard pressed and his glaive ybroken, he seized on a ham and lifted it up and swang it right lustily as it were a flail of war, Sir Frederycke Ha Desel that was a Roman, and so, passing small of stature but a good man of his hands thoughe prone to wrath, Sir Paul the Fat who was ever mirthful and of pleasant aspect and Sir Carl Hand Schin, the Saxon, all these were ranged above the salt, and below there were many gentyle knyghts and men passing excellant of therye hands. So with mickle courtesye they gan to eat and to jest one with another and to wax merrie though there was naught of wine to 273 fire thre spirits,for Sir Raymond had vowed a vow of abstainence in his youth and would in no manner drynke wine himself nor yet set it on his board for others but as it is chronicled they waxed merrie despite theyre lack and Sir Hourd 1e Flack that was a young man an small and formeed wonderly so that a hound might run a,tween his legs in full course and yet disturb him not nor yet Check speed and in all of a fine presence and fair of speache became the meiriest of all and gan to boast of his owne prowoess in a large voice. But Sir Everett the younge might in no wise endure his boasting and cried silence but Sir Hourd spake him boldly and vowed that he would in no manner nor Wise leave off saying until he had spake his say for any such great mount of flesh though he be. But when Sir Everett Younge saw that Sir Howard was clean mad and might in no wise be pacified he got up and laid hold upon him by the neck with one hand and with the other by the skirt of his hauberk and lifted him an he were a chylde and took him and ycaste him through the easement into the garden Where he lay an one dead or sleeping. And then Sir Everett seated himself again at the board. And at this time Sir Julius de Khune heid taen a cigarette and having scratched a fyre stick upon his solleret so that it brent he lighted it an gan smoke. But Sir Bruce de la F ynke myte in no Wise endure to see Sir Julius pleasure hymself in thys wise but gan to berate hym and to speak him neither soft nor fayre but with ill humoure, that he desist and lay the cigareete asyde. But Sir J ulius made ryte merrie of him and he filled his cheeks with smoke and let if forth wonderly in a grayte rynge that spun in the ayre and alyghted upon Sir Bruce, hys Nose, an synce Sir Brucels nose was long an pointed an it stuck through the rynge of smoke as a launce through a rynge in tilt yarde an Sir Bruce choaked an gan swoon so that they needs must throw mickle water upon him by reason whereof on the morrow his harness was rustye. Then Sir James the Younge and Sir Ray Sig as Bee gan howl most loudly for a stoup of beer and to make such dole that Sir Raymond put them out forth from the halls and woulde in no wise suffer them to return an when they found that they might in no Wise avail thym- selves nothing by clamour they set forth toward a far famed thorpe yelept Reiliy where is a passing good ale house though it was a weary journey. m s1 .4. Then Sir Wallass Roud the Bush gan to make mickle dole because thyre was such wayste of tapers and of Viands that were not eaten and synce he could in no wyse remedie matters he went his way to his own castle thet he myte practise in quiet the black art the which is yclept Economie. And this time Sir Everett the Young made boasts of his prowes on the field gridiron an of his passing great strength so that Sir Carl Handschin the Saxon waxed wroth and layde upon Sir Everett wie hys bear hands so lustily an wie such myte that he split his harness all in sunder and Sir Everett mayde hayste and got him home. Then the joyous and wershpful companie gan to break up and each wended him to- ward his castell, but Sir Arthur hight le Cavver for that he was ever seeking some new and won- drous thynge, Sir Bobbie Calderwood, and Sir Charles the Ross, which meaneth Red in the old tongues gan to syng and to make a journie toward a hostlery passing famous of its pastries that was in those times kept by one Burkhardt a goode man an a ryche and when Sir Ray- Inonde Du Bois Cahall who was but newly knyghted and after some fashion vain of his spurs saw them go he followed, an for a time he held hym afar off lest they should go upon some adventure that lyked hym not for love of hys skin or lest they purposed to drink deeply the whych hym in no wise belitted for he was of the Y. M. C. A. but when he saw that it pleasured them to go quietly he gan to syng in that manner of tone which was of hym named ii Whiskie Tenori, and he drew near to them with all manner of remarks sublte and answered them ever with the retort devilish and in thys manner bore them companie. And at the board there now remained only Sir Raymonde, Sir Alferd Up Ham, and Sir Frank, the clerk, and Sir Raymonde was sore a weary and got hym to hys couch but Sir Alferd and Sir F rank abode a long time and held fair discourse of that anceunt pegan wis- dome and of poesie and alle learning and they commented one to another that it was a goodlie companie that had gathered that night but over stiff and self righteous for the moste part and for that reason thayte some who were not so after a fashion them deported as is called ruf and they agredd one with another that those who were philosopehers of eld speke wisely upon that which is yclept the golden mean and after a while they too rose up and left the princely board and yode home through the dark still talking of the philsophers and poets hat were in the anceunt happie tymes. 275 276 Follies Of 1914-1915 IEvery action of the Freshman Class, oHicial or unofficial, col- lective 01' individual.

HungereA Modern T hriller N E wonderful night when the first madness of spring permeated the atmos- phere almost to the point of saturation, and the moon and stars were at once a taunt and abenedietion, hunger seized upon seven little ladies peacefully reclining on seven little white beds and day dreaming tthough as we said it was nighti of seven unworthy men back home, for it was the eve of temporary release from bondage, known as spring vacation. This hunger was no vulgar hunger of the stomach alone but of the soul also, a hunger for sandwiches, ice cream and CocoCola, blended with a spiritual longing for stir- ring deeds. At last when each had suffered in silence for many seconds, one turned to another and revealed the emotion and longing convulsing her being. The other did likewise to another and so the seven learned that between them existed a perfect sympathy; and they rose up and put on their habiliments of action though it was near the twelfth hour. Then they took. COunsel one with another as to where they might obtain provender. One suggested that they delve into the bowels of the Hall tfor all this as we omitted saying, transpired within the dormitoryl and seize upon such portable stores as might be exposed therein. But one of them would have none of it saying that in no wise would she be persuaded to take anything from the University, nor would she add'one grey hair to the sum of the gathering frost on Wallace Roudebushis temples and anyway there was no ice cream. So they agreed that they must go out into the Village to an all-night hostlery or rather temperance eaberet; and with stealthy mien, and feet placed slowly and softly one before the other, they threaded the dark labyrinth of corridors and emerged through a window into the glorious moonlight without. But swift as they were, and stealthy as they were, they did not escape unregarded. As they passed up the broad walk a head protruded itself suddenly from a lower window and all as suddenly with- drew again within. Then the great door swung noiselessly open and a fantastic figure, wrapped as it seemed, in the cerements of the tomb, stole forth upon their trail like Sherlock following a fresh Clue, like a Camanche on the war path, like a Sicilian following the prospective Victim of his vendetta. For some time the ghostly figure followed them afar off, but when at last they reached the lighted thoroughfare of the Village it turned back and vanished again within the dark portals of the Hall. N ow when the seven adventurous damsels had eaten much pie and ice cream and many peanut sandWiches and washed it all down with deep draughts of Coco Cola, divinest of soft beverages, they turned back toward the Hall, the hunger of the flesh and of the spirit being alike appeased. As they came they jubilated within and externally, also to one another over the easiness of it all. But when they made shift to enter stealthily as they had leftelo, living horror;-the great door swung open to receive them and at the portal, grimly but politely smiling stood the guardian of the Halls peace and decorum. Of what words the guardian spoke in mild reproof, or what they made answer in excuse, there is no space here for chronicling lfor this is a filler page anywayi, but it is sufficient to know that neither the gross hunger of the stomach nor the aesthetic hunger of the spirit was considered as giving the seven license, poetic or otherwise for midnight marauding, andicrestrictiOnsi, that invention of Beelzebub and all the fiends, was their unhappylot. So now, although the motto of the seven was once iiDo and Dare, Escape and Eat ,, it is ii Cogitate and Consider, Stay and Starve?
