REVEILLE 1007 IN presenting this, the 1907 RiivKiLU-:, we have no apologies to offer, but will let the book speak for itself. However, in view of the fact that there are hundreds of College annuals published yearly, many of them costing much more than ours, we do not claim that this, one is the acme of perfection or orig- inality. We have endeavored to represent every phase of College life, so that in after years when the hours hang heavy, we may look over these pages and be reminded of the happy days of yore.

He attencs a 1 the ball games and dances, and he doesn ' t go by himself cither. He lias a very affectionate disposition, is kind, accommodating, has no troubles of his own. and is always happy.

Captain Com pan v F . ' Ban is to be admired for his long and ste dy work for the possession of his sheepsk ' n. He has many friends among the boys, and is well liked by the professors, while his good looks and portly bear- ing have caused much disaster among- the fair sex He was never known to fce seen angry, and his fa- vorite study is Mechanical Drawing. We feel assured that whatever Ban undertakes in his future life, he will only be happy and successful. Captain George Rifles; Dialectic Lit rary Society; Vice-Bresident German Club. With graceful steps h =■ strides the strest, And smiles on all t ' .:e miiden sweet. OSIAS CICERO BREWER, Trim, Miss. I ud ii si rial Pedagogy. First Lien truant Company B. Just why Osias Cicero was entitled thus is not ex- actly known to his class-mates. There is nothing in his general appearance to suggest his historical nam It is true that he lias been blessed with his auburn locks, but otherwise he is just an ordinary person. There is not a man in the class more beloved th n Red. He stands for honesty and uprightness in character. He is plain, but above all he is frank. Osias hasn ' t much of a literary turn, and it is thought he will study medicine. Regardless of his profession, we expect him to make a success, for lie has the de- termination, is honest, and that enables him to be one of those candid and dispassionate men. Class Humorist, ' O5- ' 06: Vice-President Dialectic Lit- erary Society, Second Term. ' 06- ' 07. Trust me, you ' ll find a heart of truth Within this rough outside. REVEI LLE 1907 JOHN MADISON BROGAN, West Point, Miss. Electrical Engineering. Johnnie is regarded by all his friends as an ex- tremely lovable fellow. He is a constant worship; er at the shrine of Venus, but, sad to tell, he has let his younger brother precede him to the altar. His fa- vorite occupation is going to town, and his devotion to Pat is only exceeded by Pat ' s devotion to him. He is a favorite with everybody, for he is a jolly good fellow. M. A. S. E.; Standard Bearer, Lee Guard: Presider.i. German Club. None know him but to love him. THOMAS HARRIS DURRESS, JR., Madison, Ga. Civil Engineering. Second Lieutenant Company E. Tommie, sometimes called Pi ajuice, is the b y graduate of our class. He comes from the neighbor- ing peanut State of Georgia, and sometimes speaks in whispers of a certain Little Georgia Rose. You have but to know him to love him. He has a happy disposition, and is kind-hearted and true to his prinoi- pli Tommie is an enthusiastic young athlete, being a champion tennis-player and a victorious class 1 wirier. M. A. S. E.; ' Varsity Tennis ' Lam; Second Term I ' m ideni Hull Literary Society; Art Editor Reveille ; ■ [a Base-Ball Team. He is both young and small. I9 7 REVEILLE LOUIS LEOPOLD CHAP( TEL, Pass Christian, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. Lieutenant Quartermaster Second Initiation. Familiarly known as Chap. An excellent example of the evolution of a Prep. An enthusiastic believer in the theory that the English language plays a great part in the making of a man. Chap is a ha: d work- er and a fine practical student. His greatest occupa- tions are writing to Columbus, sending postal cards to New Orleans, and worrying Hyper. He is our only Mechanical brother, and he bravely shou ' .d -rs the responsibilities thrust upon that department. Member Philotechnic Literary Society; Mullet Chas- ers ' Club; Librarian M. A. S. E. An honest man is the noblest work of God. BUCK CLINT )X CLARK, Gohlson, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain and Quartermaster Staff. Buck is a good-looking, jolly, and friendly fellow, and he is possessed of many admirable qualities, one of which being worthy of special mention, is his personal magnetism. He goes, the girls see, and invariably he conquers. During the Normals, buck sees that all the pretty girls do not become lonesome; consequent- ly he is the ' 07 Normal hero. Buck, besides being a social leader, is one of the leaders in college work. He is an apt and gifted student and his reports always make a favorable showing. The A. M. College can count on Dr. Clarke as a loving and most loyal alumnus. Dialectic Literary Society; Associate Editor Re- flector ; German Club. May we all travel through the world and sow it thick with friendship. 24 REVEILLE 1907 GEORGE WESLEY COOMBS, Ripley, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Second Lieutenant Company F. George is very popular among- his class-mates, and it is said that he was never seen angry nor heard to swear. We believe his good nature and playful ways are due to his second childhood. He has already chosen his profession, and pursues his line of work with earnest zeal, not even allowing the charms of his fancy to deter him from his purpose. As a literary man, he was never downed in a debate, and some day we expect to hear his clear-cut logic piercing the walls of our Capitol. Dialectic Literary Society. A hard-working man. JASPER DAVID CORK, Ackerman, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain Company G. The subject of this description is not very peculia •. Among his fellow-students he is known as Bottle- stopper, while among some of the Professors, st ante to say, he has taken the name of Uncle John. Characteristic of Bottle-stopper though, he is rather independent, not egotistic, not pessimistic, but believe; thai the removal of Mathematics and Latin from the educational curriculum would eventuate his greatness. He is firm, Inccre, and deti-t ■ 1 n i 1 1 ■ ' I in his purpose of life. He is a good example of manhood, virtue, and piety among college men. President V. ftt. C. A.; Philotechnic Llterary Society. This truth how certain: when tins life Is o ' er, Man dies to live, and livis to die no more. 190; REVEILLE JAMES OLIVER EASTLAND, Meridian, Miss. Agriculture. First Lieutenant Company H. Oliver is the baby of the Senior Class, and, on ac- count of his smallness of stature, he- is better known as Skinnie. He invariably wears a smile and never has a serious thought. Skinnie is very proud of his rank, and is very prompt in the performance of hi.3 duty, and especially that of a military nature. He never cuts church, and is never absent from chapel ex- ercises. He is very dignified and Prepping is against his belief. Class Base-Ball Team; Class Poet, ' 06- ' 07. From what hid fountain doth thy joyance flow? PERCY MORGAN ELLETT, Arkabutla, Miss. Agriculture. Captain Company B. He has a very dignified appearance and one must know him in order to know his personal qualities. Chemistry is his favorite study. He will some day be president of a bank, or at the head of a large com- mercial business. Percy has gained popularity by his originality. Secretary Class, ' 06- ' O7; Class Base-Ball Team; Class Prophet, ' 05- ' 06: German Club; Reveille Staff. He kept with princes due decorum. Yet never stood in awe before ' em. 2b REVEILLE 1907 ROBERT PEARSON ELLIS, Starkville, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Second Lieutenant Company H. Bob is very much devoted to his studies, and can well be called a true scholar, for in the class-room he is excelled by none. He is very punctual in all of his work, and has been known to wade through showers of hail and floods of water before he would allow h ' s seat to be vacant. He is very fond of athletics, but, owing to his frail physique, he has only been able to claim his place on the class teams. Town Prep Association. And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. EUGENE BREWSTER FRENCH, Natchez, Miss. j. Igriculture. First Lieutenant Band. • ' E. B. has been a member of the Band for quite a while, and is very talented along the musical as well ;is along other lines. His greatest ambition is to become a physician of wide reputation, He is the life of every crowd, and mischief is seen in the twinkle of his eye. His disposition is one to bo envied. He has made himself famous as an orator.

He is a fierce player, and those who know him dare not get in his way. He is a great artist and a special admirer of Blue. Dev- ilment and mischief can be seen in his very eyes. His favorite study is Chemistry. He will perhaps superin- tend a large farm in Ferry County, which he tells us is the land of peace and happiness. Philotechnic Literary Society; First Lieutenant George Rifles; ' Varsity Foot-Ball Team. ' 05- ' 06, ' 06- ' 07; Elysian Club; German Club; Tennis Club. Happy the man who is void of cares and strife. WILLIAM BURTON HAIRSTON, Meridian, Miss. Agriculture. First Lieutenant Company F. Bill has a head shaped like an ideal business man ' s, and unless some radical change takes place real soon he will occupy some exalted position in th s busy world. He cares nothing for military, but in his academic work he is a Jonah. He knows nothing of trouble. He has given the subject of love much time and thought, and he says, Woman ' s love i greater than power, sweeter than life, and st onger than death. Class Base-Ball Team, ' 04- ' (?5: German Club. Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind, But leave, oh! leave the light of nope behind. REVEILLE 1907 JOHN JOSEPH HARDY, Newton, Miss. Civil Engineering. First Lieutenant Company A. Jack is a firm believer in upholding his own rights and the rights of his friends. He is a good student and a faithful worker; accurate in theory and i fricient in practice, promising to be eminently successful in his chosen profession. He heartily endorses all ath- letics, and has several times in his career come to the rescue of his class teams. Under ordinary conditions he is to all appearances as immovable as the Egyp- tian Sphinx Member Dialectic Literary Society; Member Associa- tion of Student Engineers; Class Base-Ball, ' 03- ' 04. ' 01- ' 05; Class Foot-Ball, ' 04- ' O5. I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. ADRIAN HERREN, Valley, Miss. Civil Engineering. Private Company H. Ladies and gentlemen, he hails from the Delta, the home of alligators and swam-p-rabbits. Like Tully, he is fond (?) of military, and likes to wear his uni- form very much. He would, no doubt, wear his ac- couterments to church if the Commandant would let him. He has never been in love and doesn ' t want to be. He experts to be ehief engineer in the Philippine Islands, He doesn ' t talk much, but thinks a great deal M. A. S. E. Charms strike the heart, But merit wins the soul. I 9° REVEILLE 29 MARVIN MERRITTE HIGH, Starkville, Miss. x Igricidture. Private Company B. Mary has no1 yet learned what it is to succumb to the misfortune of Dormitory life. He surpasses the average town Prep. A Cfesar would lung to be e 1- dowed with the knowledge of milita y science and tactics that yon will find stored up in Mary ' s head. He is yet young, and for this reason we naturally think him justifiable in being a little backward with the ladies. Class Foot-Ball Team, ' C4- ' 05: Day Students ' As- sociation. Absence of occupation is nut rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. MIMMS WILLIAM LEE, Pine Hill. Ala. [ml us trial Pedagogy. Captain Company H. Mimms has a winning disposition and an attractive appearance. He has a great literary taste and spends much of his time in writing essays and orations. Hi- polishes his words with the real garnish of original thought, which, together with his other natural gifts, make him a great speaker. He talks of constitutional changes and amendments in a most wonderful way He is very popular and has many friends who admir-5 him for his kindness, honesty, and brilliancy, and wliu expect to see him perching around the top of the legal ladder, Freshman Medal: Philotechnic Literary Society, ' (3- ' 04; Class Base-Ball Team, ' 03- ' 04: Recording necretary Philotechnic Literary Society.

Bob usually takes life easy, but constantly speaks of better clays to come. Early in his college career he rebelled against reveille and has since lived faithful to his resolutions. All those in his section know to humor him in small things lest they should tempt his quiet disposition. He admires Latin and Anatomy and frequently speaks of Medical Science He is very bold in his conversation, always speaking the truth. He is very affectionate, and you only have to make his acquaintance to admire his qualities. For my part, getting up seems not so easy by half as lying. TULLY JOSEPH LIDDELL, Fayette, Miss. Civil Engineering. Tully stands pre-eminent as the best all-round man in his class. Mentally he ranks with t ' :e best; morally he leads; and physically he has no equal. His favorite topic is Columbus; his chief occupation, going to the post-office; and his daily pastime is pitch- ing dollars and playing checkers. His frequent visits to Columbus interfere with his checke -playing, for When he gets over- there it takes nim so long to move. He is proud of his physical prowess, and re- mained unvanquished until he was conquered in a mortal comfoal with Cupid. Captain Lee Guard; M. A. S.

Mac is a man of acute thought power and stion:-j reasoning ability. He arrives at his own conclusions, and once there is hard to change. He is very sincere and can be depended upon to do what he believes to be his duty. Unlike most of us, Mac is endowed both with fine intellectual abilities and plenty of stick-ability to go with it. He exchanges frequent notes with a certain iriend of his (?). The socialistic ideas fermenting in his mind will no doubt in a few- years be heard irom. M. A. S. E.: Philottchnic Library Society: .J. ' .. George Scholarship. He has no favorites.- ' SAMUEL ALEXANDER M Prairie, Miss. LLER. Industrial Pedagogy. Second Lieutenant Company Alex wears a pleasant smile that won ' t come off, and so has assumed the name of Smiley among the boys. He has a peculiar love for Mathematics and often speaks of literary attainments. He is a great admirer of the girls, but has made several resolutions, declaring his past experience with them has caused sorrow in his heart and that he will devote his leisure time to the study of English hereafter: is fond of athletics, and has many friends who admire him for his determination and perseverence. Class Foot-Ball Team, ' 04- ' O5; Cmss Sport. ' 05- ' O3; Critic First Term, Hull Literary Club: President Hull Literary Club, Second Term, ' 06- ' 07. He shall accomplish great things in life. REVEILLE 1907 HARRY MOSS PARKER, Graysport, Miss. Agriculture. Second Lieutenant Company B. Harry is young yet, but he will l:e older after a while. It is always pleasant to have this boy with you, for he will surely make you laugh. His greatest fault is slapping you on the back. His favorite pas- time is leaving the campus almost every Saturday. He likes to talk of the future, and we know h; will be a man of wealth. Dialectic Literary Society: Manager of Pee Wc Base-Ball Team. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. SAMUEL HUGH REED, Weir, Miss. Agriculture. Second Lieutenant Company t,. No phase Of Scientific Agriculture is beyond ' Juniper ' s knowledge. From the sprouting acorn to the old weathered, tree he can trace every step of its growth and give the scientific explanation. As for the harmful insects and the unfavorable seasons which every farmer has to battle with, he has learned the economical way to overcome and destroy them, and in the near future, when great plantations ad- joining his are producing scarcely nothing, his will be seen to flourish under the scientific hand of its owner. They never taste who always drink: They always lalk who never Ihink. I 90y REVEILLE WILLIAM HENRY RICKS, Maben, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain and Range Officer. One of Bill ' s characteristics is a strong determina- tion, and he usually looks on the bright side of things. He especially admires German, and constantly aston- ishes his class by asking- questions in foreign phrases. He admires the beautiful scenery (?) in Lincoln County, and says, after all, the happiest life can be spent in a lovely country home. He says there is a better day coming when Mathematics will no lenger molest his slumbers, and he will be fre; to study spring-time with all its radiant charms. Treasurer Philotechnic Literary Society, Third Term, ' 05- ' 06; Treasurer Y. M. C. A., ' 0S- ' 07; Vice- President Philotechnic Literary Society, ' 06- ' 07. I awoke one morning and found myself famous (?). WILLIAM GREENE ROBERDS, Prairie, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain Company A. Billy is an all-round athlete, a good student, and a good speaker. He has won distinct honor in every phase of college life. Bill has turned a decided ladies ' man since his Senior year, and it is even whis- pered around that he is quite a flirt. He frequently talks of the I, I. C. and is especially fond of the Sophomore Class at that institution. This man has plenty of college spirit, and can be depended upon as a rooter. He possesses a jolly disposition and add: his share of fun and wit to any conversation.

William, alias • ' Willie, Billie. Will. Eill, is all right as long as you lead him, but he reminds us of a certain character sometimes sketched in the funny paper when you try to drive him. His greatevt trouble is keeping his face washed ana his hair parted. Bill has won fame for himself on the gridiron, and is an athlete of no small renown. He is an o.igilial thinker and does not fail to express his individual opinion. He has always been a leader in the class- room and out; he is both a capable organizer and lead- er of student movements, and promises to be a leader .if his fellow-men in the future.

Judge ' s usual ability is only partially shown by the fact that he is senior major, and president of his class. He is loyal to every right principle and is be- loved by both Faculty and students. He has been pro- nounced by everyone as being the best major in tha history of the college. He frequently talks of the fair sex, and if we are any judge, he must be a real artist among them, as he possesses a tongue abounding in sweetness and love. Judge is a ped gog, but will not teach.

TUTS, the record of the Class o f 1907., is the record of a band of fel- lows who have stood for high motives, concerted efforts, consecra- tion to duty, sensative justice, and always co-operative unity. Few, indeed, and slight are the erring deeds of the wayward ones who will spot or blemish the clean sheet that shall be our record page in the annals of onr alma mater. But many are the deeds, well done by the members of this class, that have in the past brought credit, and will continue to bring credit, praise and honor both to ourselves and to our institution. And we hope that our future acts shall be such as to reflect a light of pure .incandescence, by which our records may be read in the memory book of our friends. Yet victory has not always been ours. We have suffered defeats, disap- pointments and reverses more than once ; but rising from them, we look up- on them as our greatest victories. And now that the time is drawing near when our college days shall be a thing of the past, it is painful to record the sad and serious mien that is hidden behind the assumed brightness of our band, in the last few days that we linger together. As we look for the last time on the old familiar scenes that have for the past four years become so dear to us, we know that though we go, our hearts remain with our alma mater. Oh, fill a brimming glass with me, We ' 11 drink to some fair lass ; But first, here ' s to the one we love, Our 1907 Class ! Here ' s to the days when we first came. With many homesick sighs ; Here ' s to another time so dear, Here ' s to our last good-byes !

AFTER every great storm there is always a corresponding period of calm- ness. So it is with the Class of ' 08. After the many roaming and bois- terous days of childhood, we settled clown at the Mississippi A. and M. College fully determined to improve oir talents by clearing away the rubbish of ignorance and replacing it by knowledge, power and skill. Our Class is harmoniously united, and every opportunity for manifesting a spirit of loyalty to the Class and to the College is grasped by every member. There seems to be a spirit of enthusiasm among all, and we are anxious to equal or surpass the other classes in any common undertaking. As to athletics, we have not been surpassed by any other class in School. We have furnished for the gridiron some of the most ardent and skillful play- ers that have ever played on our College team. It is interesting to note that for the past two years a member of our Class has been captain of our foot-ball team, and he has also been chosen to act in the same capacity for the next foot- ball season. Our men are no less famous on the diamond than the gridiron. From the beginning of the foot-ball season 1904 to the beginning of the base- ball season 1907 our men have shown a great interest in athletics and have clone much toward building up athletics. in the College. Our Class seems to be fairlv well divided in the pursuits of the different industries taught in the institution, and it is also interesting to note the dif- ferent industrial clubs which this Class has organized and helped to organize. It shows that we are interested in our respective lines of work, and if you will give notice to the Class of ' 08, I hope, at least, that you shall find us em- ployed in the various industries of the South, always striving to upbuild our country.

AND it cometh to pass, after the discoloration of the verdant year hath worn off and the time ripeneth for the going out of the toilers, that there riseth up amongst us a mighty youth of great ability and pleasing look and of whom wise men say : ' ' Verily, this man is deserving. Let us make him our lord and ruler. Whereupon the leaders of our legions raiseth the youth upon the shield and proclaimeth him President of Class ' 07. And even as the day passeth the other chiefs are raised upon the shield, for the great chief sayeth, We must have officers, and then the task of class organization is begun. And it happeneth that there is in our ranks a great veteran of the field, who loveth to play with the ball and glove and who maketh great use of the bat. Also there cometh a man of little hair, who debateth justly and whom Diogenes sayeth is an honest man. And a man with hair of color like unto the sun cometh and is straightway elevated upon the shield. Then a man whose name signifieth darkness cometh to the assembly, and he is a poet. Then lo! a cloud descendeth and envelopeth the earth, and a voice crieth out, Behold, I bring with me a man of gaudy raiment! See him, the sport, and by his side the fool with quips and cranks and wanton wiles encum- bered. Thus was our Class arrayed with officers by whom it was to be led, and who have endeavored to erase all traces of the greening of last year ' s school-days. I cannot stop to relate comedies of bananna cars and tragedies of hours of extra duty. I can remember but snatches of this life of the Class with which I have grown. I see Rivers at Jackson, raising the ball clear over our opponents ' heads ; I can see Dorroh bravely plunging through lines of steel for further gains ; I can see Montgomery, our hero, struggling, freeing himself from the iron grip of Oxford ' s men, charging down the field, crossing the goal amid the cheers and applause of thousands; I can see the Mitchell boys and McCargo as they were last year at Kosciusko, and here they are again, seven Sophomores out of nine on our Base- Ball Team. I see our fellows on the track, the tennis court, the basket-ball grounds — in any place where honor may be gained by mettle and manhood. I see them in the ranks of the Lee Guard and George Rifles, and here they are at their work, the bright, promising Class, of which all speak the best. And now, gentle reader, join with us in wishing the Class of ' 09 the brightest, happiest college life, and when the time for us to leave our Alma Mater comes, the richest blessing that may fall upon deserving heads — Success.

AS I undertake the overwhelming task of writing the history of so remarkable a Class as that of 19 10 my hand trembles with nervousness at the bare thought that I should write one word not consistent with the profound respect due to each member of this most illustrious Class. When I get up against a task like this. I can easily realize what it means to look like thirty cents, and I have already come to the conclusion that it would tax the genius of Herodotus or Thucvdides to find appropriate words in which to write the annals of this Class and do justice to his subject. )n that long-to-be -remembered dav of September 18, 1906, innumerable specimens of every name and order began to flock in from every direction. The influence of their presence pervaded the whole campus, and birds began to sing, trees to bud, and indeed Nature seemed to put on a new robe, it felt such an es- sence of spring in the fallacious greenness that issued from the very pores of the skin of the various species of the genus homo. Well, after being knocked around for about a week or two, after suffering all the personal humiliations peculiar to a Freshman ' s matriculation into any great college, and after being instructed in numerous and divers ways of how to go through that mysterious process of saluting the Commandant, we thought we had been duly initiated into college life. So on one Saturday night a very solemn assemblage of Freshmen met in the Y. M. C. A. Hall and proceeded, in a very par- liamentary way, of course, to select their class officers. We were very fortunate in securing men who have faithfully executed their official duties, and have rep- resented with skill the life and purpose of their Class. In athletics we were the leaders of all the classes. On the gridiron our little Foot-Ball Team, like Cromwell ' s Ironsides, swept everything before them, and after gallantly holding their own in many hotly-contested battles, they came off with the blood of the Sophomores uf en their hands and a crown of victory upon their brows. 68 REVEILLE 1907 In base-ball our players were little less conspicuous. They were the life of the ' Varsity Team and the pride of the A. M. So on all through the year, in every field of action and on all occasions our men did their part with credit. We found abundance of enjoyment and pleasure and many profitable ways in which to employ our spare moments. But when we look back over the past year we can see many instances in which we could have taken advantage of opportunities that we let go by unheeded, and thus may have been better prepared for our duties as Sophomores. However, taking all things into consideration, we have spent a very pleasant and profitable year. But it is over now, and although by patient and diligent study we may at last enroll our names among the learned, although by assiduous and honest toil we may at last climb the mountain heights of fame, our minds will forever wander back and call up fond reminiscences of the past and our thoughts shall linger with special tenderness and fondness on this our Freshman year at the A. M. College. Historian. REVEILLE 1907 reps. PREPS is very funny animals. They is divided into two classes — the first section and the others. Them as are in the first section think they are the stuff — the others don ' t think at all. Some of them is so green that seventy-five per cent of their blood is chlorophyll. Most Preps is very patriotic, for they work for their State every Saturday afternoon. Some of them also seem to have a great love for their Class, since they stay in it for two or three years. I don ' t know whether it ' s voluntary on their part or compulsory on Pe- ter ' s part, but any way they stay. I think the Preps are imposed upon a right smart, for the Freshmen have passed several laws to prevent the Preps from wearing — socks (?). Their bookkeeping instructor has stuffed them so full of his jokes that you had just as well try to kiss a girl as to get away with a Prep. But, after all, the Preps has high aspirations, for most of them that ain ' t too green is striving daily for to be a Corporal. W.E.B. 1907 REVEILLE 71 A Glutton ' s Dream. WE CLEARED away the scraps and gathered up the bones which were all there was left of a bountiful box of good things from home. My, but I had been hungry ! I hadn ' t eaten a bite of dinner for thinking of the feast we were going to have — chicken, sausage, ham, and turkey, cus- tards, doughnuts, pies, and fruit-cake had all disappeared as if by magic. What ' s this? a jar of crystallized fruit? Yes; and one of good old home-made pickles too. To make a long story short, we ate as only a Prep can eat after about six months of Mess Hall fare. Somehow, since it was all over, I had an unpleasant feeling of fullness that caused me to retire with many a misgiving as to the ultimate outcome. Suppose I should take an acute case of cramp colic and die before daybreak? Coincident with this came a shooting pain in my stomach. Oh-h-h, if I had not eaten so much! If I had only been moderate! If you have ever eaten too many green apples, then you can appreciate my suffering. I rolled and I tumbled in this ag- onized condition for what seemed to be hours, when finally a fitful sleep came to me, only to make bad matters worse. During that night I had one of the most peculiarly horrible as well as vivid dreams it has ever been my misfortune to experience. I left school and began a most chequered career. Blood and suffering were my companions. A number of times I was all but overpowered and devoured in a hand-to-hand combat with some grotesque demon with glaring eyes and flaming breath. Einally I met one of these diabolical monsters under very peculiar circum- stances. The country in which it occurred was verv rugged; large rocks and boulders were on all sides of me ; not a sign of vegetation was to be seen, but in its stead there was a thousand snakes, among which I picked my way. It was in the midst of these surroundings that I was wending my weary way when suddenly I was startled nearly from my senses by a mighty flash of lightning from a clear sky. REVEILLE 1907 When my eyes regained their sight, I beheld before me a monster of so frightful mien as to put fear into the heart of Beowulf himself. I, he shouted in a voice of thunder, am God of the Gluttons, and do demand thee as my rightful subject! I did not wait to hear more, but turned and ran as hard as my legs would carry me. A glance over my shoulder lent wings to my feet, for the horrible thing was in hot pursuit, accompanied by a thousand little men with the heads of hogs. On he came at a headlong pace and he was surely gaining. Look! Not far in advance of me was a gaping ravine. Now I could run no farther. As I stood thus undecided upon the brink of the cavern, suddenly my footing was lost and I shot through space to certain death upon the rocks below me. Death was upon melj Crash! I hit the floor and awoke with a start — I had fallen from the bed. Boone. U REVEILLE 1907 A Movement Toward an Ideal South. Oration delivered at the State Inter-Co ' leaiate Oratorical Content, May 10, 1007, by W, G. Roberds. ALL MEN have ideals. These ideals begin in the abstract, but if they are held constantly in mind, they are often realized. Men have ideals of mor- ality, of right, of justice, and of the beautiful in every form. So also have we in mind the picture of an ideal country, and because of the beauty and grandeur of the Southland, because from the heart of its woodlands so wild the balmiest breezes blow, and because of its wealth of latent resource, we have asked, Why should not this be reality rather than dream, and why should not this ideal land be. Dixie? It is to a movement operating in the direction of the ideal South that I now call your attention — namely, the tendency to break up the large estates of the South into smaller farms. The historv of this movement takes us back to the feudal system of England. Thoroughly to understand it we should have to visit the castle home of the haughty baron and wander over his broad acres and hunting-grounds. We should have to view him in all his luxurv, his pleasure, and his idleness, and behold the oppressed serf in bondage to a tyrannical mister, without freedom or independence and like- wise without ambition or hope. The system fell of its own evil, and here the ten- dency of which I speak began. But the spirit of feudalism, in its effort for sur- vival, has been remanifested in the young American Republic ; here briefly to wage a losing fight against the virile spirit of human freedom, and finally, as we trust, to lose its last oppressive shadow in the sunlight of advancing civilization. The following statistics show the rate of its decline in America, both before and since the Civil War: In [850 there was one farm for every 14 persons in the rural population; in 1900 there was one farm for every 7 2-10 persons. In 1850 the average size of farms in the South Atlantic States was 376.4 acres; in 1900 the average size was 108.4 acres. These figures show the tendency in the past; and assuming that Mississippi is typical of the entire South in this respect, let us briefly see what the condition is at present : In 1900 about 1-10 of the farm lands in Mis- sissippi was in farms of 750 acres each ; 1-1 7 was in farms of over 1,000 acres each. There were over 2,000 farms of over 500 acres each and almost 1,000 farms of 1,000 i 9 Q7 REVEILLE 75 acres or more. And we find the startling fact that only 34.4 per cent of the total number of farms were operated by owners, while 62.4 per cent were operated by tenants; and that actually there were 12,354 rented farms in Mississippi, the owners of which were non-residents. In advancing to the discussion of the question as to whether this movement should be further encouraged, I disclaim anv suggestion of socialism. The prin- ciple involved is quite the opposite of the socialistic principle, but is distinctly in the direction of individual ownership. Again, let it be understood that I do not undervalue the genius of the time when feudalism held sway in England. With all its evils, it was an economic condition of the time, and it has bequeathed to us much in both tradition and history of which we are justly proud. It gave us great men, both in war and in peace. It set for us many examples of heroism and valor, and out of it grew the richest and most beautiful literature that has ever adorned the civilization of any time. Most assuredly I do not mean to disparage the social standard of the ante-bellum South. Let no loyal Southerner ever speak one single word to the discredit of the heroic time which gave birth to Lee and Jackson and Davis, when the South was the scene of a feudal system not less resplendent, but more humane than that in the motherland of old. But a new age is upon us. We confront new conditions, and the time is at hand when we must strike another blow for freedom. Think of entire families on many of our large plantations groveling in ignorance and filth and poverty, without ambition, without aspiration, without hope of a higher life. I say, then, that from every motive of morality and social culture among the common people, this move- ment must be encouraged. But there must be a basis of material prosperity for every great moral civilization, and we shall now consider the question from such a standpoint. There are thousands of people in our midst who, by virtue of their honest toil, deserve independence, but who, on account of present conditions, are dependent upon some feudal landlord for their very existence. They are exerting every effort, both mental and physical, to procure the necessities of life. A large part of our population is virtually a wandering people, moving from place to place from year to year. Our local business is conducted almost exclusively on a credit basis, and it often occurs that renters remain on a given farm until more than the value of the land has been paid in rent, and yet own no land themselves. Conditions have been such in our rural districts that people have flocked to the towns, are living in the slums of the cities, and are hastening death by confinement in the poisonous atmosphere of the factory. Parents are even being forced to the extremity of placing their children in these life-sapping, death-dealing places, and are thus giving to the future a generation of weaklings. I do not undertake to state the 7 6 REVEILLE 1907 cause of this condition, nor to question a man ' s legal right to own as much land as he can legitimately acquire, but I do contend that the condition would be improved if the large land-owners were more willing to sub-divide their plantations and sell them at a just and reasonable price, so that the people could own their homes, be independent, and live in that higher atmosphere where it was meant for them to live. The State ought to encourage this movement, for the prosperity of the coun- trv depends upon the prosperity of the farmer. Every country is more prosperous where the holdings are small ; where he who tills the soil is also the owner of the soil. An example of improved social conditions resulting from this movement may be found in New Zealand, where the Government has the right of domain. When the public good demands it, the Government pays the owner the worth of his land and it is then sold to homeseekers. Ten years ' experience has demonstrated the wisdom of this policy, and the New Zealand farmers are increasingly prosperous. Charles Edward Russell tells us that here is a conutry without strikes, without riots, injunctions, armed guards, or militia called out to shoot citizens and defend property. There are no trusts, no money manias, no slums, no spots where people live without air, light, and sunshine. The experience of France, now the banker nation of Europe, likewise proyes the wisdom of this policy. In 1871 impoverished France was compelled to pay $1,000, - 000,000 to the conquering Germans. To-day her national debt of $6,000,000,000 is practically all held at home. She controls the purse-strings of Europe, and the funds for this international financing are obtained largely from the savings of her industrious and frugal small farmers. Mr. J. J. Hill tells us that the French now draw from the soil more than five times as much wealth as they did a century and a half ago, and he adds, The strength of the nation is due primarily to the fact that it is a country of small farmers. That this movement makes for culture among the common people and is the surest road to progress, cannot be doubted. How can we hope to have a high civ- ilization without good churches, good schools, and a proper social atmosphere? And how can we have these except in thickly-settled neighborhoods? And how can we have thickly-settled neighborhoods when one man owns from 1,000 to 3,000 acres of land, which is worked by negroes? If we are worthy trustees for posteiity, and this is the highest conception of the duty of every generation, we must have better schooh and better social conditions in the rural districts. Ilnl, whether we admit it or not, conditions are such as to make this change inevitable. First, the partition of estates among heirs favors it; and second, the influx of home seeking immigrants from other sections necessitates it. At the present rate of increase in population, before fifty years the resources of this country 1907 REVEILLE must be expanded to meet the increasing wants of over 200,000,000 of people. Where are they to be employed, and wherewith shall they be supported? Here- tofore the increase in our population has moved steadily westward, finding homes in a hitherto undeveloped and unoccupied territory. But these lands are being rapidly taken up, and in the future, instead of scattering over a broad territory, the increase of population must settle in territory already occupied and their homes must be carved out of the holdings of present owners. Nor is this thought alarming when viewed in the light of the possible de- velopment of our resources. Competent men tell us that by scientific farming we can grow twice as much per acre as we are now growing. The last decade has witnessed a great awakening in this respect. Our people are beginning to see that the present method of farming is impoverishing the soil, that they are not pro- ducing what they should produce, and that in order to increase the rate of pro- duction they must have more intelligent farming. To make this possible we must have small holdings instead of large half-worked plantations. Furthermore, this necessity for increased production will seem the more evident when we consider that at the present rate of consumption, according to all reliable authorities, our supply of coal will be almost exhausted within a century, that within twenty years our forests will be cleared away, and that the existing rate of iron production can not be maintained for more than fifty years; so that in the final appraisal we must rely upon the soil, and it is from this source that we must expect the increase in production to supply the loss sustained in the exhaustion of other sources of wealth. This expectation, if realized, will necessitate an increased yield per acre, which is possible only as a result of a more scientific system of farming. Again, the rural population is being swelled because of the tide from the city back to the country. This is the age of the renaissance of the country home, and why is it? It is because people are realizing more and more that we are akin to Nature, that she is real and eternal, not made by the hand of man, and that the highest, the noblest, and the purest life can be lived in close communion with her many voices. This ideal condition is not altogether a dream ; it is entirely possible. We are chasing no illusion bv believing that some day instead of the dependent hut we will find the independent cottage; instead of the larger quarters composed of ignorant laborers will be found prosperous communities of enlightened citizens; instead of the land being worked by ignorant wage-earners it will be tilled by enlightened owners. We have the people, the climate, and the soil, and we have our own South- land, with her unequalled history and tradition, to inspire us on. Better still, we live to-day in the midst of this land of Dixie, whose every twig that grows we love ; especially does she call forth our admiration at this time, when her fertile soil is 7S REVEILLE 1907 covered with a carpet of green ; when her birds flit from spray to spray, flashing in the sunlight the splendor of their plumage and flooding all the forest with their song; when the running brooks seem to laugh in the sunshine as the ripples dance before the gentle breeze, making their imprints upon the sands to remind the future civilizations of the time in which we live; when all Nature, robed in her costliest garment, stands with open arms, inviting us to walk in her exhilarating presence, breathe the fragrance of the atmosphere, and rest beneath her azure dome. Yes, her history and beauty inspire us. From the shell-strewn beach of its Gulf so grand, Where the tall ships come and go, To the shimmering stretches of deep blue grass, Where its princeliest chargers breed ; From the eastern rim where the ocean swells, To the sweep of its sunset plains — She holds a charm that appeals to her sons And lures them always home. We expect it to become a still greater country. We believe that in future days the statesmen of the South shall return once more to the helm of the ship of State and guide the Nation into grander seas of a larger political life; that the sweetest lyrics of all the land shall sing to a Southern lute ; that the finest stories of the truest type shall blossom from Southern brains — in short, that in some future day our country will approach as near as possible to the ideal land of the free and home of the brave ; but I believe that when this beautiful land shall have become more beautiful, that adorning her every hill-top, valley, and plain will be found more independent homes of honest tillers; that advanced enlightenment shall have wound its way through the rural schools and churches of our land into the humble cottage, the courageous occupants of which are to develop the unguessed glories of the South. i 9 o7 REVEILLE 79 To My Old Pipe. o LD FRIEND, they say that we must part; Reformers claim you ruin my mind ; They point to loathsome jails and say That there your products I shall find. They say that money spent on you Is worse than money thrown away ; But I ' m the one that pays the bills ; The price I get in some old way. We ' ve stood full oft inspection here ; Just you and I at A. M. ; We ' ve borne the toil, endured the pain, We ' 11 stick together to the end. When I ' m alone in this old den, And I have thrown my books aside, You bring me thoughts of other days, And time rolls back like the ebbing tide. I pack you full of old North State ; I strike a match and dream and smoke And dream again, and thus forget How most completely I am broke. I dream of how, when but a child, I used to love to take my hook And down beyond the corn-fields go And fish for perch in some clear brook. In dreams I go to school again In that log school-house on the hill ; In dreams I ' m playing hooky now (That reckless habit ' s with me still). Old Webster ' s blue-back speller then We used. I ' 11 ne ' er forget the dime My father gave when I ' d gone To Baker in a given time. 80 REVEILLE 1907 I dream of Christmas times long passed ; Of how my stockings I would hang ; The cold could not decrease my joy Next morn when out of bed I sprang. I think of how I used to work — A bare-foot boy — upon the farm ; I ' d see each twittering bird that passed ; My hoe a prop beneath my arm. With ioy I dream of going to mill On almost every Saturday ; Of swimming in the old mill-pond- Till nearly dark ofttimes I ' d stay. Those happy days you bring to mind Are worth a great deal more to me Than any pleasure I could find From time spent on Geometry. The girls don ' t like you much, I know, And vet it seems so strange to me That when I come in touch with you Some smiling face I ' m sure to see. Within tlie rings that from you rise Blue eves and waving hair I see ; I smile at faces in the smoke And they are smiling back at me. No, no, old friend, we cannot part, We ' ve been together now too long ; I 11 take your part against the men Who sav that you ' re so very wrong. I have no truer friend than you On all this broad terrestrial ball; I have a number on my list, But you I count the best of all. I ' ve lost some friends from time to time, Tho ' If) them all I have been true ; I ' ve never yet deserted one, And I ' m not going to start with you. C. B. II., ' 08. DMlitar Bun.

Tis music and melody that you hear When Taps is blowing. Why is it, my lad, my lad in gray, We feel so sad? Oh, can you say? Why is it that we hold our breath In the hush — so still — as still as death, When Taps is blowing? Listen, my lad, and you shall hear Just why it is we drop a tear, As if gathered round a new-made mound We bare our heads to its sacred sound, When Taps is blowing? Full many a thousand heroes brave Were brought from battle-field to grave, And there, with no loved ones to weep, Were left to their eternal sleep, While Taps was blowing. Through the ages its sad notes have blown Amid death and destruction, until it has grown That when we hear those notes to-day We list to death ' s soft lullaby, When Taps is blowing. Are we not drifting, nor stopping to think, Until we have reached the eternal brink? Have we convictions and live to them true? Then there ' s no fear when ' tis whispered to you That Taps is blowing. W. W. Boone. ABO Mr Fcsf- J p uTa „ Qdd m the R?vi lie ' . Mr bhmun- J w, S h J hoKi WILL YOU BUILD?
