Moninoutli College was established by the Synod of Illinois of the United Presbyterian Church in 1856. During the nearly 42 years of her historj- the College has made continued and substantial progress. The conservatism which has given her but two presidents in all these years, and which has led to the holding in her chairs good strong professors for long continued service, has given her capability in manage- ment and stability of duration. On the other hand conservatism has not gone over into fog isni. Her faculty is constantly receiving new lilood, and the new and old alike are alive to the educational progress of the da} ' . One thousand have graduated from her class rooms, and thousands of others who have not graduated have received from her a good education, and are most efficient men and women in the communities in which thej- live. The College has never received anj- very large single donations of mone} ' . She has been built up rather by the smaller gifts of a large number who have had the cause of Christian education at heart. At the same time a few ver ' generous gifts and bequests have been given her. She has always had the co-operation and help of the citizens of Monmouth, and in return she has been a great means of good to the citj ' in ever} ' wav. From its inception until the present time Jlonmouth College has stood for the development of man ' s phys- ical, mental and sj iritual nature, all at the same time, and in their proper relation one to the other. SAMUEL ROSS LYONS, PrEslient Elect of Monmouth College. Rev. Samuel Ross Lyons D.D.,was born near Winnsboro, S. C. At an early age with the family, he moved to Marissa, 111. When President Lincoln issued the last call for loo day men, Young Lyons, although not i6 years ot age, entered the ranks as a drummer boy. He was a student at Marissa Academy and theu entered Monmouth college, graduating from here in 1S77; the same year he entered Xenia Seminary, graduating from that institution in 1880. His first charge was at his old home in Marissa. He was called from that place to his present pastorate at Bloomington, Indiana. Since his residence in that city, Mr. Lyons has been actively engaged in educational work. For a number of years he was a senator of Monmcuth College, but resigned that place for a responsible position on the board of the Indiana State L ' niversity. Dr. Lyons is the resident member of the board, and as such is admitted!} ' the leading spirit of the seven who control the University. He spends one day out of each week in consultation with the president and faculty of the Universit)- on new measures or management of the L ' niversit} ' . Such immediate connection with a large and well founded institution, will he of great assistance to Dr. Lyons in the new work he enters upon. The faculty are enthusiastic over the choice. To the students the election of Dr. Lyons means much. A man of unerring judgment and in touch with new methods, he will be received with favor by all, and it is the prevalent opinion that the right man was chosen. Although the affairs of the college have been efficiently conducted under the present Board of Control, 3-et the fact remains that the lack of a president was used to her disadvantage. Faculty and students alike welcome the new executive, and it will be with their hearty support aud co-op- eration that he will enter upon his duties. SENIOR CLASS. A. C. JOHNSON, President. Colors— Royal Purple and Old Gold. MOTTO: Reperi viani aut fac utiam. To write one ' s own obituary- notice is not a pleasant task. To sing at one ' s own funeral is not a source of pleasure. Nevertheless, these are two duties which fall to- the lot of the historian of the Senior Class, for the history of the Senior Class for the 3-ear will be its obituary notice so far as college life within the walls of old Monmouth College is concerned, and the words of praise due the class will make up the song sung at our own funeral. To die is a thought not to be joyfull}- entertained, yet to die to the old life, with hopes of a new life, with greater and enlarge possibilities, is a thought to be gladly welcomed and entertained. To die unprepared for the future life is a terrible thought; but to die prepared for any future contingency is a comforting and bless- ed thought. So altho ' we feel sad to depart from college life, we welcome the fvitnre with all it has in store for us, and altho ' we have much to learn we feel able to meet the responsibilities of life. The last year of our college life has been fraught with many blessings. Our last days have been peaceful and of such a nature as to have influenced our lives in a wonderful manner, and days not soon forgotten. Har- mony has marked our progress and concord has ruled mightily but gently. Intestine strife is a thing of the past, and thj white dove of peace has ever hovered Over us, especially during these last days. The 3 ' ear ' s routine work has been well attended to and no complaint has been heard on the part of professor or student. Without boasting we feel that the class is an honor to the college, and that the college has no cause to fear that the class will not meet life ' s duties with credit to themselves and their Alma Mater. Our social life has not been neglected. Early in the fall, we enjoyed an oyster supper in the g -mnasium. On the nth of January, we entertained the facult3- and students and in this waj ' celebrated the first anniversary of the reception given bj- the class of ' 97. One evening a large part of the class was entertained by Miss Inez Hogue; and later in the winter the class was invited to the home of Miss Clara Meginnis, and it is needless to say that we were roj ' ally entertained both times. Our Christian life has not been disregarded. Thanks to our Heavenly Father, who blessed our last days SENIOR CLASS ROLL. President, A. C. Johnson. Anna Hall, Clara Megiuuis, M. J. Thompson, Hugh B.

God grant that the last da -s of our col- lege life may ever be present with us and influence our lives wherever we ma} ' be. In these stirring da3-s in our nation ' s historj-, more than one brave man in the class of ' 98 has ofTered him- self to his country ' s service, in the name of oppressed humanity- and for the sake of Christianity. Death will find them where dutj- called and none of them, will be found watrtirrg. And so as we sing our praises, we hear our own requiem. The death knell is almost audible, and in the -distance we faintly hear our dirge. But, wherever the class of ' 98 shall be found, the}- will be found true to themselves, an honor to their Alma Mater, and oljej ' ing the class motto: Kef eri vinm dut fac iniani. I ' ind a way •or make one. JUNIOR CLASS. MOTTO: - ' Volens et Potens. ' Of our first being planted, and the fruit Of that ennobling tree, whose vital taste Brought light into the field, and progress great, With loss of trouble, ' till this one great class Restore us, and once gain a blissful seat, Sing, heavenly muse, that on the secret top Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire That shepherd; how the heavens and the earth Rose out of chaos; or, if Niney-nine Delight thee more, thy aid to us pray lend. Old Monmouth was in tumult, fierce and dire, (30 and) Nine times the space that meaures years complete To mortal m n, th;y of the rulers high And wise, lay vanquished, in a fiery gulf, With darkness visible on all sides round, And aid implored. When Ninety nine. Majestic, from her seat arose, and stripes Of jealousy and fear, by ways untried. As heretofore, from places evident Erased, with all accompanying wrongs. All new, and all the highest moves has led. And formed great resolutions from despair. Of athletics, what the need to boast our force.

ARTHUR HENDERSON, President. Colors: Green and White. The year has been very quiet for the double nothing clafs. There has been no class scraps and few of those happenings generall}- considered disorderlj-, 3 ' et largely necessary for an interesting class history. A quiet year does not, however, signif} ' a sleepy class. It has been said of countries ; Happy is the country whose annals are short, and the same is applicable to classes. Thus, though the amount of actual history is not great, we can assure you that we are content and happy. On different occasions when we would have shone with dazzling brillianc ' our well laid plans were thwarted by the weather and our pleasures had to be postponed until a more propitious time. Still water runs deep, and when we might have been doing ' ' the town, our time was devoted, instead, to educational matters and intellectual pursuits which are recorded upon the books of the professors as A ' s, B ' s and other unmentionable letters. We are proud of such a showing. We are proud of our class, We are proud of our name. Being so unlike other classes we had to have a name different from others, and so selected something entirelj ' new — Nineteen Hundred, a beautiful, mellow-sounding name which already has been received with such favor that the faculty has decided that the world shall hereafter base the dates of the next hundred years upon it. In view of our bringing such honor upon the college we have thought not a little of suggesting to to the senate a regulation compelling the male students of the college to remove their hats as a sophomore of Nineteen Hundred Saunters by them on the street. Though such a regulation would be altogether fitting and proper, our modesty will not permit us to make the suggestion. In athletics we are equall} ' good. Last year we ver}- justly claimed the championship in baseball, when as Freshmen we licked the Sophs who swiped the Juniors who bluffed the Seniors. This year our material in that line is as j ' et untried, but we are confident that we have it, and time will prove whether or not we are right. During our college course we have always tried to be amiable, and we are told upon good authority that last year the head of the college loved us above all others because of our angelic disposition. Another proof that we are lovable is that some of the professors were very relijctaut to part company with us this year, and much persuasion was necessarj ' to show them that it was for the best. Everything considered we feel that we have much to be proud of, and down in our hearts we respect and applaud the Fates for their wisdom in selecting us to open up the new century. CLASS OF J 90 J. A. J. GRIER, President. Colors : Crimson and Black. ' Tis strange, wonderous strange, but truth is stranger than fiction, the history of tlie class of nineteen hun- dred and one has never been written until the present time. Our friends among the upper classmen, never tire of recounting their deeds of valor done, and in trying to impress upon our minds the truth of the adage, ' ' Children should be seen not heard. Yet in face of such dis- couragement, we have not grown weak and fallen b - the wayside; but we have made ourselves felt in the seeing line, ' ' and are now beginning to make ourselves felt in the hearing line. Take heed therefore ye upper class- men, and listen to the words of wisdom, which shall fall from our lips, and we trust go down to future generations under the title of Wise sayings from Freshland. No, we have not pushed ourselves forward bj- having picnics and socials, but we did honor the Father of his country by holding a banquet on his birthday, and so great was the respect of the upper classmen for our prowess on this occcasion. that unmolested we held our feast; the like of which has not been heard of for ages. Did I hear some one mention girls ? Do we have any, did 3-ou sa}- ? Well, reader, it is a well kuown secret that the class of nineteen hundred and one has the prettiest girls in college. As to athletics, words are incapable of e.xpressing our merits. We are sure that never, no never will the class of nineteen hundred and one suffer the Crimson and Black to be trampled in the dust. It has been said Great minds flow in the same channel. What further proof do you need of our ability in the class room than to observe how our minds flow in the same chaunel as, and sometimes even anticipate the thoughts of, the worthy Professors. As we have gained a college-wide reputation because, like Grant, we talk little but think much, so when it comes our turn to bid farev ell to our Alma Mater and go forth to take up the struggles of life we hope and trust that we may gain a world-wide reputation for having made the world better than we found it. I ' iam uiveniatii aid faciam. is our guiding star. PREPDOM. The new arrangement of tlie courses of studj ' has done away with the Prep, classes and likewise our class socials, scraps, and so forth; but in spite of this seeming annihilation, the Preps, are just as lively as ever, although our superfluous energy ' is not expended as it was formerly. Now, our greatest victories are gained in the class room, where, as everyone knows, we surpass all. Com- pliments come to us by the score. The Professors say that our work has never been equalled, not even by those wonderful Preps, of ' 94. Still this is not the only place where we excel. In literarj- lines we rank with the best. During the past year several of our number have become so noted for their quickness of thought and readiness of speech that the faculty have felt it their duty to call them to aid in settling so% eral very important business(?) transactions. Of course the upperclassmen sometimes take it into their worthy crania to make life miserable for some unfortunate Prep., but not nearly so often as in former years. This fact shows that they regard us not only with considerable respect, but even with some fear; as a certain Freshman who jumped onto a Prep, in the dark might testify. In conclusion let me say that the Preps, have the most sanguine hopes for the future and it would be mere libel for anj-one who has known this unusual body of students to doubt that their hopes will be fully realized.

Also we send out to the world this year five more women such as Aleth. women are noted for being. We stand today a prosperous society and it is our desire that through the years to come it mav be helped by old and new members to be, as always, a society for the heart and brain culture of noble women.

The Amateurs Des Belles Lettres Society, or commouly, the A. B. L. Society, was foundtd in Octolier. 1S57. The name first decided upon was the Philomatheon Society, but as none of the lady students were studying either Greek or Latin; and many of them were studying French, the present name was chosen. The first meetings of the society- were held in one of the recitation rooms of the old building. It was organized that the young ladies might accustom themselves to speaking before an audience. After the society had collected various books as a nucleus of a libran,-, the Philadelphian library was burned, on whose .shelves the A. B. L. ' s books were kept. Also the society ' s records were lost, and only a few of the first members and founders are known. We are oulj ' sure of those whose names are found on the programmes of the public successes of the society which have been found in the possession of the first graduates. The collection of books was started again, aad although the library is .still small, the society is proud of it. The alumnie number two hundred and thirtj . ECCREITAN SOCIETY. A OTTO— ' -Sh- Itus ad Antra: ' Eccriteau Sjcijt}- was organized January 9, 1S57. Originally there was Ijut one society in College, the Philadelphian Society. It was decided that for the benefitof all a division should be made. This division was made by two brothers, James R. and Daniel Harris. The branch under James R. Harris retained the old name and also the societ3 ' hall. T!ie other branch, under Daniel Harris as their first president, founded the present Eccriteau Society The membership steadil} ' increased until ' 61, when the war broke out and many loyal and true Eccriteans responded to their couutr3 ' ' s call and enlisted to preserve the Union. Since that time our membership has in- creased rapidly and, at the present time, Eccriteau has sixty-two members. Society holds its sessions in a well-furnished hall on the second floor of the main college building and is the possessor of a fine library to which members have free access. Societ} ' life, in so far as it is connected with literarv work, is made an attractive feature of our work. Eccritean, while it pays careful attention to literar}- work and seeks to broaden the man along literar ' lines, also endavors to develop its members in a social wa -. The man, although possessed of much literary learning and gifted with the power of speaking intelligently, is a failure unless he is able to combine with it the power of entertaining his hearers. Eccritean seeks at all times to combine these two important features and develop its members both in a literarv way and in asjcial wa}-. To cut and polish the beautiful diamond found in the rough stone is always our aim. We p:)int with pri.le to the seven young men which we graduate this year, and feel confident that they will ably sustain the high reputation of Eccritean Society. f t f f t i f I ' ? f ' ECCRITEAN SOCIETY.

' Vincit Oui Se Vincif When the Prep or Freshman stands before the tribunal and makes the promise to preserve the order and promote the interests of Philo societ}-, he takes upon himself the motto: He conquers who conquers himself. The transforming power of literary- training in a literary society is never so apparent as in the progress of one of its members. When he first stands before the societ}-, and stammers out incoherent words, one must think that he will not be a literary man. Look at him four years later when with bold step and graceful bearing he steps upon the platform and holds his audience breathless with his words; then can we realize that before he was a beautiful piece of sculpture hidden in the rough, and that society had hewn away the chips. It is by reason of such transforming development that Monmouth College has made and sustained her reputation as a college having great literar} ' power. In such development, Philo proudh claims to be an important factor. The past year in Philo has been marked b ' a particularlj ' strong pride in presenting full programs. Scarcely a night has passed without twelve or fourteen carefully prepared performances. Since the establishment of the Drake-Monniouth Debating Contest, her debates have been full and spirited. The enthusiasm aroused in sentimental discusion. has sometimes risen to a white heat. Responding to the need of a greater development in debating, Philo has established a debating contest among the members, six debaters are chosen by the society six weeks before the contest. The Declamation and Elliott-Cleland Oratorical Contests were particularly gratifying this j-ear. They showed a spirit and zeal seldom rivaled in such cont ests. Nor is Philo adverse to social diversions. She believes in social alTairs as long as they do not interfere with literary work. The experiences of Peanut Night. or best of all, that happy occasion, April ist, when she clasped hands with her worth}- rival and in brotherly usion they tendered the faculty and students a reception, are all happy memories. By zealous work, noble aspirations and friendl}- rivalry, with no partisan feeling, we will work out onr future even as our past. ECCRITABELLE. Among tlie social organizations of the College is one which, although it can boast of scarcely two years, existence, has in that short time acquired a historj- that would fill volumes and a name of length and worth, • ' Eccritabelle. All sorts of harmless amusements are indulged in at the semi-monthly meetings of this club, from taffy pulls to banquets of nineteen courses. Some of the present members bid fair to be, in the distant future, sculptors of no small note. This is inferred from the images of cats, fishes, chanticlers, elephants and other strange and divers animals which were moulded at one of the recent meetings. ( )f our alumni we would say that many of them have gone forth to be leaders in broader social circles. No doubt the}- were made capable of filling such positions during their membership in Eccritabelle Club. For the sake of the prosperity of the future social life of Monmouth College, we hope and have assurance- that this will be a permanent organization. The following are the members in good standing: I 5uise Anderson. Anna Dunbar, Lucretia Stewart. Mynne Blake, Fannie Graham, Belle Stewart, Elizabeth Carson, Clara McMillan, Ruth Herdman, Grace Collins, Elda Torrence, Mabel Harris, Kathryn Findley. Z. K. Carson, E. H. Duff. A, S. Collins, R. C.

The Christian work of the College has never had a more successful y-ar than during ' 97-S. The executive •committee of the Christian Union, encouraged by the faculty, has given time and effort to guide the work suc- cessfully; and the committees of the diff;rent departments have been earnest in their work, and we feel that God has blessed the work. It was the effort of the first few weeks to impress on both old and new students that our ■College is a Christian institution and recognizes the truth that spiritual training and development must keep pace with au intellectual and physical ei.ication Early in the fall term the diff.rent committees introduced their lines of work. The Christian Union social took the place of the customary Senior receptions, and as a Christian Union social has none of the formalities of a Senior reception, it is hoped that the new students escaped some of the homesickness and embarassment usually attendant on those occasions As the results of an active membership committee a large proportion of the new students united with the Union at its first regular meeting, and but few opportunities passed without several more joining with us. Perhaps the most encouraging feature of the work during the past few years has been the s} ' stematic Bible study. This year about eight} ' students took up this work. The classes have been pursuing courses in Prayer study, a Biographical study and a course in the books of Genesis and Exodus. Under the missionary committee .a class in the study of missions was organized; and later, two mission bands, one in foreign and the other in home work, have held weekly meetings. During the winter we had the privilege of enjoying a short series of evangelistic meetings in the College; as the result of which the spiritual life of all was deepened greatly and a new interest was taken in all Christian work. During the summer, two of our members attended a ten days ' conference of the Y. W. C. A. camp on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; and in the fall two young men who attended the vState Y. M. C A. convention brought back good reports and plans for work . We received interesting reports from the great Volunteer Convention at Cleve- land, Ohio, not onh- from our two delegates, but also from Miss Mary Campbell, a returned missionary. She gave two interesting talks, greatly incr asing-themissiouary zeal among the students. According to the provisions of the new constitution, the work of the Christian Union for another year was begun the past term. It is the earne.st desire of all that we may have another successful and fruitful year. The the new officers ehosen are: S. E Irvine, president. Louise Anderson, vice-president. Sara Karr and Thomas Harris, treasurers. THE EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. Those who were students of the College during the winter of ' gS will always recall with hallowed thoughts the week spent iu evangelistic meetings. There are those of our Alumni who still look back with feelings of deepest thankfulness to the religious revival of ' S2; and the memory ' of the meetings of ' 98 will be no less lasting, and, we trust, no less blessed, in the lives of the students of the past year. Through the earnest efforts of the President of the Christian Union and others we were sj fortunate as to obtain the services of Evangelist M. B Williams, who is one of the most successful and wideh ' known evangelists of the day. For several days previous to his arrival the students met in section prayer meetings, praying earn- esth- for God ' s Holy Spirit in our midst. When we came together on Sabbath evening. Februar}- 13th, many souls were open and ready for the rich blessing expected. Two services were held each day during the week. For the first few meetings no marked results were noticeable; Init sjon we felt that the Spirit of God was indeed among us. Our hearts were quickened in the love of God, cleansed from sin, and tilled with a great desire for the salvation of fellow-students. Earnest prayers ascended to the Throne of Grace and the good work w ' ent on through the College halls, on the campus and streets and in the students ' rooms. The results of this work of grace cannot bs estimated by man ' s knowledge. God, who alone knows the heart, can estimate the rich blessings received. Several professed their faith in Christ for the first time. The lives of professed Christians were cleansed from sin and evil habits, filled with a deeper love for God, and conse- crated to a life of service. A uumber volunteered fcr mission work, both for home and foreign fields. Many learned, for the first time, the deep joy of bringing souls to Christ by prayer and personal efforts. Old quarrels and misunderstandings were righted, and all the students and the faculty were drawn together into one great friendship. Our hearts are filled with joy and thankfulness to God for his great blessing upon us. and we would give to Him all glory and honor. We trust and believe that it has been a revival which not only will not die out in our hearts, but will grow stronger and deeper, and in time to come the results can be traced in the salvation of other souls in many fields of Christ ' s vinej-ard.

It is so called from the thirteen bright faces that surround the festive table at Mrs. Clarke ' s boarding house, morning, noon and evening, unless the morn be too dewy; but noon and eve always finds the whole number present. In the age of darkness and ignorance, superstition reigned. Thirteen was considered an unlucky number to sit at a meal. The last one seated was doomed to die first. But as tempus fugit, superstition has been scorned and scoffed at, and the Lucky 13 flings defiance in the face of all such absurdities. This boarding house is noted throughout the city, not only for its intellectual conversation over the groaning board, but also for its jolly times. When Friday evening comes their spirits are bubbling over with fun, and then it is, that the boys tremble at beholding six girls file out of the house, before they are through eating. Why this trembling? Because the) ' know when they leave the table thej ' must come down from their dignity and climb trees, look under porches, rummage rooms, et cetera, to recover that propert) ' which shelters their crania from the storms of life. If Elbridge gets angry, we grant him Grace, but we cannot deal with Sam in that way, so we Harris him and Speer the rest. But to turn the tables, the boys will Guy Anne in spite of her efforts and the sus-Spence of the others for the outcome. This incomparable body is opposed to cards, although it has Wall-ace.

John Wallace, THE BOYNTON CLUB. 924 East Broadway. Cicero says Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas, but from the enjoyment and unlimited pleasure we receive when tri-daily we partake of the sumptous repasts prepared b}- Mrs. Boynton ' s skillful hand a feeling sometimes takes possession of us that we could live to eat. When gathered round this festive board various sub- jects are discussed, from arguments most profound to light and witty chat; from wit and satire to deepest pithosv from loftiest language to familiar expressions of everydaj ' life. Such attraction have these pleasant conversations that often for many hours we linger round the table, and with great reluctance and onh- when dut) ' calls us elsewhere, do we leave. tJur menu each day is new. The various tastes of our members require varieties. For example, with breads: Messrs. Dorris and Coats have a preference for Graham; Miss Pogue and Mr. Carithers for Brown, while others of us prefer White. Cupid ' ' from one end of the table hurls his darts, while Mary and Aldah Gra- ham at the other defend with their Speers, and no hearts hive yet b;en pierc;i. In athletics we excel. During ths football season we furnished for the team eight of its best men. In baseball and tennis we are not behind the other clubs. In the track team, also, we see five of our boj-s. That we are not wholly occupied in athletics and in satisfying our corporal wants, is shown in the intellectual ability of the club. Aside from honors of class room and society one of our members represented the College in the Monmouth-Drake oratorical contest at Des Moiues, and we can boast of two contestants in the Philo-Eccrit ean contest. The members are : David R. Turnbull, Mary Belle Collins, Harry Jewell, J. Wallace Duunun, Grace Wilkin, Flo ' d E. Dorris, Ethel Brown, Mabel Pogue, Robert W. Morris, Sarah Karr, A. J. Coats, Matilda Crammer, Z. K. Carson. Prof. W. Prince, Hugh B. Speer, Joseph Speer, Marv Graham, J. P. Gillis, Mary White, Mina B. Eakin, Richard Ta3dor, Wm. G. Turnbull, Carrie M.

Yes, we are in number not so flourishing as some of our College clubs, but then perhaps our vow to celibacy is unpopular with boys of more effeminate mind. We are sorry to confess it so publicl3-, but we wish to be frank with the world; so we tell the whole truth when we say that three of our number have been so derelict to their vows as to declare themselves in search for mates. Yet, when certain College girls beseiged us and with smiles and coquetry sought to gain entrance to the peerless board spread by Mrs. Dr. Hollingsworth, the boys, remember- ing their pledges, stood firm. What the future has for us as a club no tongue can tell; but as the radicals go out this year, we fear our distinctive principle maj- be lost. Rumor says a medal has been offered to the girl who first gains a place in our banqueting hall. In this crisis Casino expects every celibate to do his dutv. Our literary fame is still in the ascendant. To us came the honor of having our College representative on the State Oratorical; also two of the three original Drake-Monmouth debaters, and other honors too numerous to mention. We attribute our superior fame in letters to our strict, temperate habits, and freedom from companion- ship that causes late hou rs. It is no uncommon thing for our visitors to say that Casino ' s tabic, talk compiled and published in good form, would out-Xye Bill and drive Bob from the platform. We have, in great mode.sty (another trait peculiar to us), refused all publishers ' offers. Those %vho wish the best brain culture and finest caokery shoul 1 go into training at once, as our standard is high and our examining committee very careful in giving examinations. Applicants for next year will please call on the committee at 214 North Third street. 1S97— PRESENT MEMBERS— 1S98. B.S.Blake, Harry Jewell, Will McDougall, W. R. Ronald, Wallace Barnes, S. A.

Multitudes of stars, the very poetry of heaven, though inferior in size, are constant, sending forth a clear, distinct, luminous light, revealing themselves without fear.

EUREKA CLUB. 3J7SouthEighth-st.— Mistress, Mrs. S. E. Porter. When home is left behind and college walls are entered, if there is in waiting for the student a place that will be home, where every comfort that thoughtful kindness can devise is provided, then may that student be considered indeed fortunate. During the last fifteen years many a student with gladsome voice has called aloud Eureka, and within her sheltering walls has laid aside the cares of college halls wher« there is No nourishment to feed the growing mind But conjugated verbs and nouns declined We would not boast, but we must pause to say our fare is the best that skill and money can provide. Sub- stantials, dainties and delicacies alike abound. This )-ear, around our festive board, the plates are spread for thirty-three. Among so few how varied are the aims of life, and yet. what goodly choice. Listen, gentle reader!

At the opening of this school year which has marked so many epochs in the history of our College it seemed necessary to form a new organization to support the temporal wants of the great number of new- students. Although the most of us came from countries far west of the Father of Waters, we deemed it well to have a few old students to advise us in the great emergencies ofclub life. In our short experience we would not ask an3 ' one to take our own statement, but listen to the compliments our many friends are always glad to pass, not only upon our quantity but q-uality.

Be not tlie first bj- whom the new is tried, Xor yet the last to 133- the old aside. Uuconscioiisly acting according to this principle, Monmouth College waited to see that inter-collegiate debates were a success aud then established one for herself. A letter, unofficial, it is true, was written to Drake Uuiversit}-, of Des Moines, Iowa, asking them if they wished to form a debating association with Monmouth. They vere enthusiastic over the propossition, and it was then brought before our own students. The decision was unanimous in favor of the league. Two delegates were appointed, who met with two delegates from Drake Uni- versity, at Ottimiwa, and a constitution was agreed upon. The meet will regularh ' occur the last week in January, the place of holding the contest alternating between the two schools. The home college proposes the question, and the other college chooses sides. The visiting college has the president and vice president and chooses two judges. The home college has the secretarj- and chooses one judge. There are three undergraduate debaters on each side. The first on either side has an opening speech of ten minutes, aud a closing speech of ten minutes. Each of the others has fifteen minutes This year ' s contest was held Fel ruary 1 1, at the University Place Church, Des Moines The question was, Resolved, That the Swiss sj-stem of initiative and referendum, modified in minor details, if necessary, to adapt it to American governmental conditions, be adopted in this country. The debaters w-ere: For Drake, 0. C. Morrison, O. W. Lawrence and Vergil White; for Monmouth, F. E. Dirris, W. R. Ronald and Edwin McClin- tock: Mr Dorris takiug the place of B S Blake, who was elected but resigned because of ill-health. The debate was pronounced by the audience and judges as very interesting and of high ordar. Each side presented enthusi- astic, well-prepared debates, and held closely the attention of the audience. The debate was very close. None could predict how it would result. The decision is given by having each judge give each debater a grade and then adding up the grades on each side. The re.sult was, Drake 1 107. MonmDUth 1062. We have nothing to re- gret in the loss of this first contest. It only shows us that we must work if we expect to win from Drake, and that we can do .so if we do work. D.-ake is a large institution of a thousand students, and thej ' entertained the Monmouth delegati.:)n rovally. We look forward to pleasure and pro.fit to be derived from out annual debate with Drake Universitv- DRAKE-WONMOUTH CONTESTANTS. INTER-COLLEGIATE CONTEST. The twentj ' -fourtli annual Inter-Collegiate Contest was held in Monmouth October ist Six colleges sent contestants: Illinois Wesleyan, L. Fulwiler; Knox, Wm Gorsuch; Illinois College, F. C. Tanner; Blackburn. P. L Corbin; Eureka, C. E. McNemar, and Monmouth, W. R. Ronald. Mr. Gorsuch, of Knox, received first place, and Mr. Fulwiler, of Illinois Wesleyan, second; Mr. Ronald, Monmouth ' s representative, third. ilr. Gorsuch received first place at inter-state held at Beloit. Wis.. May 5. PHILO CONTESTANTS. William Ro3- Ronald, debater, was born June i, 1S79, at Grand View, Iowa; attended school at Grand View, but soon removed to Wapello, Iowa, where he studied under the tutorship of his aunt and prepared himself to enter high school; graduated from Wapello high school in the spring of ' 94 and that fall entered Moumouth Col- lege, and is now a senior. Mr. Ronald has a brilliant contest record, having won second in Elliott-Cleland Ora- torical contest and first in preliminarj ' oratorical contest, which entitled him to represent his college at Inter- Collegiate, where he won third. He received the Junior Class honors in ' 97, and was one of Monmouth ' s debaters in the Drake-Monmoth debate in ' 9S Hugh B. Speer, orator, was born at Havana, Illinois, where he attended the public schools until he entered Monmouth College in the fall of ' 91 as a Junior Prep. ; was out of school one year on account of sickness, and is now a Senior. Mr. Speer was third in Philo Declamation Contest during his Freshman } ' ear, and first in Elliott. Cleland Oratorical during his Sophomore 3 ' ear, and has represented his society twice in open meeting and in joint open meeting. The honors conferred upon him bj- his society show his abilit} ' in literary work. William M. Cook, essayist, was born near Morning Sun, Ohio; graduated from the country school, then attended Business College at Rushville, Indiana, for one year: he then spent one year at Miami University, Ohio; entered Monmouth the fall of ' 93 and spent one year and a half in college; was out of college for three years, but re-entered the fall of ' 97 and is now a Junior. His good work in his society has secured him a place on the contest team of this year. Frank Chalfant, declaimer, claims Lincoln, Illinois, as the place of his birth, and was boru Februarj ' 21, 1S75; he came to Monmouth and entered the public schools, graduating from the High School with the class of ' 94; he then engaged in teaching school for two years, but entered Monmouth College the fall of ' 96 and is now a Sophomore. Mr. Chalfant has represented his society in several society contests, which gained him the honoi of representing his society on Declamation this year. THE PHILO COXTEiTANTS. FRESHMAN BANQUET. It is something unusual in Monmouth College for the twentv-second of February to pass without a demon- stration more or less disagreeable for the Freshman. This year, however, the class of 1901 was allowed to cele- brate their Freshmau banquet unmolested. The class, instead of holding their banquet in one of the hotels as has been customary, secured the ser -ices of the celebrated caterer, Mrs, Eliza Smith, and had their feast served in Shultz ' s Hall. The hall was appropriately and artisticallv decorated for the occasion. The four chandeliers that furnish light for the elegant hall also afforded an excellent means for draping the college and class colors. On each of three walls were hung large metal hatchets, tied with the colors of the class, crimson and black, while on the fourth wall was, in large figures and class colors, ' ' igoi. The banquet was an event of unalloyed enjoj-ment for the participants and the class of naughty ones can look back on that evening without a shadow of regret, and revere the memor ' of George Washington that he was thoughtful enough to have a birthday and didn ' t just grow like Topsy.

The following is clipped from the Courier of Jlarch; The recent visit to Monmouth of S. R. Lyons, D. D.. president-elect, was a very happy occasion. On his first appearance in chapel the entire student body stood up in token of respect, and when he w ' as formalh- introduced he was greeted by a white cloud in the form of a Chautauqua salute. His earnest words, his natural dignity of manner and kindly face won the hearts of the students even before thev had opportunity to know him personalh-. On the evening of February 24th a recep- tion in honor of Mr. Lyons was given to the students by the faculty and trustees. A most enjoyable evening was spent and the students went home delighted with their new president. On the evening of the 25th the Twilight Club gave a dinner at which ilr. Lyons was the guest, of honor. This was the largest and most enthusiastic in the history of the club. More than two hundred gu;sts were present. The topic of the speeches was The Material Advancement of Monmouth and it was well handled. Among the speakers were Dr. A. H. Dean, for the citizens; Dr. W. T. Campbell, for the college board; Dr. J. N. Swan, for the faculty; Rev. Richard Hane -, President John H. Fiuley. of Knox College, and President-elect S. R. Lyons. When the company broke up the universal sentiment was that the election of Jlr. Lyons means great things for the material, intellectual and spiritual advancement both of college and city. LECTURE COURSE. The management of the Philo-Eccritean Lecture Course of ' gy- ' gS gave to the students and citizens of Monmouth some of the best attractions before the public. They have spared no expense in making it the best ever offered by the association. Every performance was greeted with a packed house, which shows how their efforts were appreciated.

For some } ' ears the annual Freshman Banquet has furnished all kinds of fun for faculty, students and freshmen. But it has become too tame. In ' 96 only two were at all seriously hurt, and the following year not one drop of bl — bl — blood was shed. Entirely too tame, as even the facultj ' will agree. So we thought that if we couldn ' t have at least one or two killed, or at least wounded out of justice to ourselves and our College we wouldn ' t have it at all. In its place we have inaugurated The April Fool Party. When it was first proposed we knew it would be a success. As the plans for the Freshman Banquet had been completed before the April Part3- was considered, they were permitted by the upper classmen to hold their banquet undisturbed. The as- sembly rooms of the Auditorium were tastefully and handsomel} ' decorated in College colors and in the colors of the gentlemen ' s societies. Excellent music was furnished by Prof. Price ' s Orchestra. It would be impossible to describe in a few words what a grand success it was, so we kindly refer you to Miss Calvin and Miss Woodburn. Light refreshments were served Some drank Frappe and some didn ' t. ' THE MAY PARTY. The May Party this year was almost as much of an April-fool part}- as that given b_v the Eccriteans and Philos on April first, inasmuch as they, as soon as rumors of a Slay Party were afloat, made such elaborate prepa- rations for it. The first intimation of it was when Prof. Graham hinted; two weeks in advance, that it might be wise to get as much sleep as possible beforehand, even if it was necessary to take it from shool hours. After this the boys all seemed in a quiver of excitement. Knots of bo3 ' S were seen at all hours gathered here and there on the campus and in the College halls, discussing the newest ties, most approved methods of con- fining a three-inch neck within a five-inch collar; the best and most reasonable tailors from whom dress suits could be procured. The hostesses, seeing this, feared to compete with their guests, but remembering that it is not in good form for the entertainer to dress beyond the entertained, the}- decided to make the best of it. But as April slowh ' and wearily drew to a close, the boys were filled with amazement as thej- waited day- after day and nothing was said about the May Part}-. Ma}- first — no party Now the boys appear resigned to fate, and speak in glowing terms of the society girls. When least expected, a dainty invitation is given to them and the excitement grows more intense. Those who had neglected to make their preparations before, now rush to the nearest tailor, only to find his services en- gaged and all available suits already leased. Now the only alternative is to go to a dressmaker, who assures them that, with a seam run up the side, their old ones would be the very latest. The evening arrived. Profs. Coats and Arnoldson kindly offered the use of their spacious parlors to the young ladies for the evening. These were so thrown together as to make a single large room, which, decorated with flowers amid colors of yellow, blue and white, reminded one of the beautiful May itself. Honored the old-time customs they When they chose their Queen of May. Each lad and lassie matched by lot, Refreshments, too, w-ere not forgot; While lovely music held its sway — How quickly passed the time away. ' SJJKKKJfflfJKiS BOOK VL C XL jX ' ' ' WHEN THE SWALLOWS HOMEWARD FLY. ' A REVERIE. The da} ' had come, and almost gone — one of those dreamy, delicious days — and the last rays of the setting sun as it sank in the west, streaming through the window, tempted the tired little Senior from her packing. She dropped with a sigh into the great armchair and looked around her. That had been such a pretty room the day before, now dismantled, and all her cherished knick-knacks laid tenderly awa} ' iu her trunk. When she thought of all those loving confidences, all those original ideas, those might} ' opinions which had been interchanged by the group of fun-loving girls over the pan of fudges or the cakes sent from home, or, feasting on the onions — those dear delights of spring! — then all the trials and troubles had fled away and all the joys remained. Then again of all her struggles and triumphs, the sympathy she had given and received. When she thought of these a tear stole down her cheek. How could she bear to leave them all! The memories of all those college days come back— the campus walks, the picnics, and those professors, doubly dear to her now. .She saw her heap of college souvenirs, her foot ball horn. But she did not want to see these things now — they hurt, and, with a sob, she buried her face in her hands. How long she was there she did not know. Suddenly conies a song whose melody throbbed to the chords of a guitar — Come back to me, sweetheart. And love me a? before. She raised her head: a smile shone through the tears in those blue eyes — Back, back, to me, sweetheart. And leave me never more. In life ' s dark path%vay The sun no longer shines- Come love, and meet me, In the shadow of the pines. The smile deepened, the tears were brushed away and forgotten, and the little Senior sped away in the darkness. Was it only the memorj ' of spreads, of College fun — was it only the thoughts of all that had happened in that room, which had brought those showers of tears? ' as it? DIALOGUS. Scene— The Shades.

Scene — Hall, near A. B. L. door. Safe from the glare of the gas light, nestled in the dark recess by the radiator — sit a couple. From the hall near b} ' comes laughter and the chatter of girlish voices, mingled with the clatter of dishes. A spread is in progress. But, suddenly from the door comes a girl in search of fresh supplies. Lo, she stopi! What does she hear? A faint whisper, Yes, 3 ' ours forever. And they, unconscious of the listening ear, coo on. Stealthily back she creeps, noiselessly closes the door behind her, and, with school-girl eagerness, tells this fresh bit of gossip to the girls. One by one they steal out for fragments of the tete-a-tete, and with titters and giggles return to report. Alas! Tom turns on the .gas and puts an end to whispered vows of love, and girlish fun; and those two souls, newly linked as one, are brought to a sudden realization that the world moves on.

' Tis upon a bright spring evening — As we sit the door bell rings; What can us the fates be bringing? To her feet she quickly springs. Quickly now this maiden hastens Her appearance to confplete. And she primps and crimps and powders ' Till she looks so young and sweet. Oh, how noble on the gridiron — There he seems all things to dare; Yet he sits and sighs aud trembles, Waiting in that high-backed chair. Hark! her step is in the halhva)-, Xow he hears it on the stair: Who can wait the falling footstep Of the one so loved and fairl Now the door she ' ll quickly open, Aud he rises to his feet To greet her eyes so full of meaning And her voice so low and sweet. See, the door moves farther open And he reaches out his hand, For his heart is palpitating So that he can scarceU- stand — ' Tis his fair one ' s dear landlady Who appears before him then, As she says iu accents freezing, Please don ' t tarr}- after ten! ' ' AN ODE TO THE GYMNASIUM. Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a lull in the daj- ' s occupation That is known as the drilling hour. The girls speed over the campus. With Clemmie or Jennie ahead, To spend an hour in the gym — And always come out half dead. The cry of line up and I ' scitter Are the only sounds that are heard, Except once in a while a titter From a girl who sees something absurd. They stand as stiff as pokers Aud not one word is said. But they plan some way of escaping, For this hour is the college girl ' s dread. But in the years that will follow, As the girls will gather around, We will prove by the rudd}- faces That health in the gvm was found. CHAPEL THOUGHTS. A decided blonde is a fair-haired girl who alwaj ' s insists on having her own way. When a girl tells j-ou she ' ll be read) ' in a minute, she doesn ' t say which minute. Some hats make a girl ' s face look long, but not half ' as long as her papa ' s when he gets the bill. A girl who does not tr - to conceal her age is too 3 ' oung to go to college. Girls who do fancy-work, as a rule, don ' t fanc}- work. A hammock is an article used as a spoou-holdsr at a Senior love-feast. There is no such thing as a girl ' s idle curiosity. It works night and day. The powder puff is onto all the latest feminine wrinkles. A wiise girl never permits herself to appear more intelligent than the man she is trying to entertain. Dreams are illusions. Therefore when a girl ' s complexion is a perfect dream ! A college girl is the cause of much of her father ' s joy, many ills, most of his woes, and all of his bills ■ Voman was made before mirrors and she has kept before them ever siuce. Little girls should never tell stories. They might grow up and write for the M. C. Annual. She was sitting by the window All the live long daj ' . Waiting for the mail man As he came that way. Now she gets her letter — My! but it is fun — She scans the loving message, A Matriculation dun. Why are all the maideus writing To their mammas in such haste? Is it for an Easter bonnet, Or an evening dress of lace? Tis not for these they are sighing — ' Tis not for these they ask; But only an excuse from Athletics — That horrid and tiresome task. HINTS TO PROSPECTIVE HOUSE-KEEPERS. 1. A 3 ' oung Cook is to be avoided. 2. Lemonade is a Beveridge which one may have at little expense. 3. Well polished Glass lends a charm to the sideboard. 4. Arrange your Work systematically. 5. The Garrett and Hall ma}- be made two ver}- attractive rooms. 6. The most wholesome bread is made from Brown rather than White flour. 7. An application of soda soon relieves Burns. 8. Your collection of songs will not be complete without Dorris. o. Galvanized iron Tubbs are highly recommended. 10. Do not Harris your Mann with requests for a new bonnet. Vou would appear to him no more charm- ing in a new one than you do in one you ' ve worn seven years. 11. Keep a Sharp look-out lest he smile at Hanna. 12. You will find benzine excellent for cleaning Coats. 13. Don ' t pay your Doctor ' s Fee until it has grown to some considerable size. 14.

Without these emergencies our heroes might live and die un- distinguished from the common herd. But fate has been kind to us this year and has furnished us these emer- gencies in the shape of might} conflagrations. On the first of these and the man whom it immortalized one of our leading western papers has ably commented as follows: THE DEED CfF A HERO. GILHOOLEY SCRAPS TERRIFICALLY WITH THE DEMON FIRE. Gilhoole) ' — that ' s him — John Peter Gilhooley Gillis. .A man whom destinj- has labelled, tagged and laid aside for her ver}- own. But. had it not been for the verj- fortunate occurrence of a fire in the east part of town recently, the present generation would never have known ot the interest destiu}- does have in Gilhooley. The fier}- demon was stalking about the east part of town in a sullen, augrj ' mood, read) ' an)- moment to break forth in satanic fury; stalking first this way and then that, the demon happened to come up East First avenue and there proceeded to do a little business in the way of burning up a house, but The fier) ' demon hadn ' t counted on Gilhoolej ' . In fact, the two had never met. The demon began at once with lambent flames to ' lick the high heavens, ' No, not a bit of it. This is onl)- what the demon would have done, had it not been for Gilhooley. But Gilhooley the imperturble, the intrepid, was where duty called him; Gilhooley was there! He scaled the roof of the house, and then occurred a might} ' hand-to-hand conflict between Gilhooley and the demon. It was a fight to a finish. Regardless of consequences to life or limb, blind to personal safety, they hurled themselves against each other, so close at times to each other that one could not tell which was the fire and which was Gilhooley. It was a fight such, perhaps, as Monmouth had never seen before. It was a battle royal. It was dog eat dog between the fire and Gilhooley. The hero finally licked the other fellow. Then let the applause of the proletariat, the mighty acclaim of the mighty multitude reverberate down through the corridors of tim;, and proclaim to posterity that ' Gilhooley (lid it with his little hatchet. ' The second fire — the one at Miss Nancy Martin ' s— brought to light heroes, more in number and well-nigh equaling in quality those of the above quoted conflagration. Already the raging flames had gained considerable headway, and to the terror-stricken onlookers human resistance seem;d Uasless. But at this point in the game our heroes arrived. Scaling ladders were run up — with some slight assistance from the firemen — and soon the water was playing upon the seething flames. The Iiall was started rolling by John Wallace, who, losing sight of self and leaving one last word for mother and folks at home, plunged into the flames to a seeming certain death. Breathless and terror-stricken the crowd watched where he had disappeared, and what a shout they raised when a in few moments that seemed an age, he staggered out into the open air, falling into the arms of those nearest, but triumphant — for tightly clasped to his manh- bosom he held that for which he had risked his life, his all — a pair of wooden shoes. The scene changes. Other h?ro;s, emboldened by this most glorious example, have rushed into the death-trap. Carpets, furniture, and everything have been removed from an up stair room. The water from four hydrants is being poured into the garret. In a hundred streams it is running through the ceiling of this room and flooding the floor some six inches deep. For a moment it looked as though all this water would be forever lost, but right here is where Richard Faj ' Taylor got in his work. Armed with only a mop and tub this hero stood ankle deep in the water, catching in his tub one of those hundred streams as it fell from the ceiling, and picking up with his mop stray bits of water from the flood about his feet. Nor did he pause when his tub was full, but seizing it he ran to the window and heroically dashed it upon Sammy, who, holding the hose, was standing firm as the Rock of Chicamaugua. Another hero must be noticed —Charles G. Brown, of Ohio. Throughout the conflagration Charlie has exerted himself and risked his life as though it were his own propert)- which is perishing. The cry has been raised to leave the house, and ever3 ' thing is deserted— no, not deserted, for alone in the middle of the room whence all but he has fled, stands Charlie, his ears deaf to the entreaties of friends and the flames roaring around him, assiduously rescuing from the watery floor some buttons which have been basely left to their fate. We must pass by our other heroes —the one who threw the pitcher from the upstairs window and carried the bedspring carefulh ' down the stairs; the one who rescued the pie, and others too numerous to mention. Of such mould were the heroes of Thermopyle and Balaklava Such are our heroes, and we delight to do them honor. And when for future deeds this world shall need men of this stamp, by taking the addresses of those above mentioned she will know just where to find them. MONMOUTH ' S LITERATI. A FRESHMAN ' S VALENTINE. To the Lovliest Thing of Which There is Any Knowlege. You ' d scarce expect one of mj ' age To valentinize— a task for a sage; But if perchance I fall below Demosthenes or Cicero, ( Whether the}- wrote such fool things I don ' t know) Remember this, my pretty one, I ' ll grow. ily pa, the Professor, just told me That if a nice man I would grow to be. I should select a girl of loveh ' face. If possible, one of the Egyptian race, A mature maiden whom it wouldn ' t phaze To take a cute little bo - to raise. He said for me to get a wiggle on ( ' Twasan awful way to address his son) To write to the girl at once to proceed. And say for her I would go without feed — Or put it just as strong as I could. If anything appealed to me more than food. 7,X ' a,.l MONMOUTH ' S LITERATI, Now, pa is awful bright — Yes, he knows a blamed sight! But he can ' t beat me, For don ' t you see I alread ' have a cinch on just such a girl — One who would ensnare the heart of an earl. When you go to the banquet with me, my dear, With roses fastened from toe to ear, I guess my Pa will open his eyes; We ' ve fixed up for him a little surprise. Maybe you think my Pa won ' t i-ee That there aint ' no flies on me. But this here thing to you is sent To gently act as a compliment. Jly love for you shall never die Though I should grow to be six feet high. This I say — -ou ' re alfired pretty And I ' d cling to j-ou if you were thirt}-. The above-mentioned love has, however, been transferred. [XXXXXXX XXXXXXX] •xxxxxxxxx j BOOK viL r ' XL JX jXXXXXXX XXXXXXXi fr THE JUNIOR PICNIC. A BALLAD. All the Seniors — eight and twenty Girls and boj ' S-a noble line; They iu Chapel congregating Sat in middle section fine. Then the Juniors, thinking surely That the learned Seniors knew What was proper in tha College, Thought they d tr ' those places too. And they did so, ne ' er suspecting Noble Seniors and their trap; But alas! alas! their sorrow! It was all a great mishap; For Professor, frowning sternl}-, Said he wished it understood That the place was for the ladies . ud to sit there — boys ne ' er should. So to help the good Professor And to emphasize this rule, Four brave sons of Monmouth College Issued notes to girls in school. Next day Chapel, eleven thirty, Came these boys so brave and true — Walked the whole length of the Chapel ■With the maid each one best knew; Found the maidens all good places — On the next seat vacant left Coat and hat, and, bowing lowl}-, Just across the aisle they sat. It was soul-inspiring action, And tho ' not M- their request. Won soul-inspiring answer In applause from all the rest. But the real rewards were coming. Though ' twas not till four that eve That they heard that the Professors Would for them alone receive. What an hour! how delightful! Thev could scarce believe ' twas true That the Faculty was taking All that trouble for twice two. Quick they went; an i, did you ask me What was served and what was said? Ask the boys — it is a secret; . dvice and ice, was all I heard. So as we sing in truthful measure Of Ye Knights of Olden Tyme, We would not forget our heroes. Hence we write for them this rhvme.

Mathematics— students aspiring to Freshman standing in Mathematics must have completed Course I. of Physical Culture, or its equivalent. All were admitted this j-ear upon equivalents. A thorough course in some kind of physical training is absoluteh ' necessary, since the student must often stand at the blackboard through the hour recitations. Nothing in this department is done b ' halves, although the new student hearing, for the first time, the number of his problem. 3i7)4a, maj- think he is expected to solve but half of the problem, but very frequently the 2 in the denominator means solve it twice. After mastering Geometry and Trigonometry the student is advanced to Mathematical Review. Those coming from other colleges are required to take an examination, in which problems similar to the following will be given; If a bullet is 1-5 in. in diameter, and miners in Leadville, Col., must lie paid 51 50 per day, what will it cost to equip 100 college boys for the wa ' ? In this, and the following courses, mathematics in its practical ap- plication will be studied. Greek — The object throughout all these courses, aside from reading as much Greek as possilile, is two-fold: To perfect the use of English, bj- insisting upon ' ' clean-cut sentences, and forming habits of concentration, Ijy attention to the thing in hand ' Latin — Course I., Cicero ' s De Seuectute, and De . micitia. Winter Term. The Faculty think that College work should prepare the student for after life. For this reason those in the formative period of life — the I ' Vesh- men- are required to study De Senectute, a treatise on old age, or Seniority. This study has been found vet} ' helpful to those who have reached their fourth year. German — The courses in this language are all thorough The failure of sa many is due to the fact that the English and Latin courses, which are the prerequisites to Course I. in Ge:man, have produced the use of such faultless English, b} ' the students, that it is very difficult to master the German idioms. Those who naturally use expressions that may not be translated literalh ' , and those who use superfluous articles, adverbs and prepositions, and transpose their order, become the best German stud ;nts. Yet thos2 wlu are masters of English may learn die Deutsche sprache after years of diligent studv. Physical Science — Physics. Winter and Spring Terms. Seven hours per week. Prerequisites, trigonom- etry and common sense. Tho.se who cannot afford to be tutored in College for admission to this course should study at home until they can always distinguish betweeu household instruments, such as the thermometer, and lab ' ' machines, as the Vernier. This prerequisite will enable the student to avoid embarassing mistakes. Aim: To develop originality and iuvention. So original have the students become that there are never more than two labartory note books which exactly agree. Chemistry— Course I. Seven hours per week, one year. Besides gaining a complete and accurate knowl- edge of Chemistr} ' , inorganic and organic, the student sees the results of affinities, and entangling alliances, which forethought is often beneficial in later life, and often even before graduation. Biology — Course I. Cryptogramic Botany ' . Prerequisite, good eyes; ability to see more than you actually see, is also required. x im: To make students familiar with the use of the microscope and to develop their artistic talents by requiring drawings from still life Ivnglish — III. History of English I iterature. Those desiring to enter this course, besides being examined upon the books required for admission to eastern colleges, must be prepared for examination upon the following : Marks of Punctuation, Brown. Companionship in Travel, Thompson. Athletics and College Education, Shepherd. How to Remember Dates in History, ' ' Hall. Words and Their Uses, ' ' H. Wilson. The Sketch Book, Collins. Reveries of a Bachelor. L. Wilson. Socials and Sociability. Taylor. Philosophy. — Lo.gic. The aim in this stndy is to develop the individuality of the students. Syllogism are not adopted until their truthfulness is proved. The student is encouraged to form sj ' llogisms of his own. One ma} ' be cited. Major premise; It is wrong to infringe upon the rights of others. Minor premise: Some students cannot hear as well as others, and have therefore a right to occupy front seats. Conclusion: It is wrong lor me to occupy a front seat in Chapel. Physical Culture— The Facult}- observing the round shoulders and thin, emaciated forms of the students, due to excessive study, have introduced a thorough system of Physical Training. So well is the gymnaseum .equipped that it has been used to very great advantage, for many other purposes. Course I One hour per week Required of all ladies Prerequisite, a thorough knowledge of the Swedish language and abilitj- to make an unerring distinction between the right and left hand. Course II. One hour per week. Open to all those not included in Course I. Required of these who do not elect(?) either course III. or Course IV. Course III. Foot ball Course. This class canuot begin recitations at the opening of College in September, owing to the liability of failure in the candidates applj ' ing for admission. A temporarj- class is formed for tyros, and those making up back work, and after several examinations, a permanent one organized. Course IV. Base-ball Course. Spring Term. Candidates for admission to this course should present cer- tificates of good standing from their local team These are sometimes considered, if the work of the student is not up to the average. Th ' s class is necessaril} ' small. There were but nine, with two conditioned, in ' 97. Course V. Track Team. Proficiency in this course comes only by long years of faithful practice. The completion of it leads to the degree, B. T. But one received this degree in ' 97. OUR ALPHABET. A is for Animal our own publication Which with envy drives others to sheer desperation.

This unequalled attraction still has a few dates left, and lecture committees willing to immortalize their courses, will do well to send in their applications immediate!} ' . During the past season this company has met with the most unbounded success and secured universal commendation. The same artists —who have won their waj- to the hearts of the American p3ople during the season of 1S97 S— will constitute the companv for the season of 1S9S-9: Howard t ' lndlev, ist Tenor, E. H. Duff, 2d Bass. Alonzo Hanna, 2d Tenor, D. R. TurnbulL ) Wirt Wiley, ist Bass, Harold Wilson, j ' Substitutes. R. G- Morrison, Reader and Entertainer. PRESS NOTICE. The Ideal Quartette, of Monmouth College, appeared here night-before-last. To call this a remarkable organization would be putting it raildlv. Nothing like it has ever before appeared in this citv. The wo.ik of re- building the opera house was commenced j-esterday. — Nemo Chronicle. ' ■The Ideal Quartette which appeared here last night, is undoubtedly a wonderful organization Never have the people of this city been as deeph ' moved as by their music. Scarcely had thev struck the pitch of their first selection, when the vast audience as one man, slowly and majesticalh ' arose to its feet and moved toward the door. Such an exhibition of the power of music over the human soul has perhaps uiver before been seen. ' — Laechland Tribune. The Ideal Oaartette, which appeared here last night, is equalled onh- by its reader. Together they make an nnparalled combination. The recitation, ' O ' Grady ' s Goat, and the tenor solo liy Mr. Findlev, entitled ' Love Me Little, Love !Me Long, ' was especially appreciated — Eleanor Inter-Ocean. After hearing the Ideal Quartette, of Monmouth College, we are fully prepared to Ijelieve that old varn about Orpheus moving the rocks b}- the power of his music. Not onlj- rocks, but eggs cabb.iges, and every other handy thing were made to move with great rapidity and accuracy hy this quartette. —Phelps Tn ies- Herald. TERMS: — ;j50o for a single performance.

The world is perhaps more in eresled in the art of healing- diseases than in any other subject. Being so fortunate as lo enjoy a long acquaintance with Dr, A. T Still, the discover of the science, and having for years witnessed the results from Osteopathic treatment, I am capable of saying that the science is one of the greatest blessings t mankind. I have seen the lame - ade lo walk, the blind to see, the paralytic restored to health, and many snatched a ' l it were from the grave. I have seen old chronic diseases, which have defied the skill of the best physicians of the world, yield to the new system of healing I have seen typhoid fever cured in less than a week. I have seen diphthe- ria cured in less than an hour. All this se ms so marvelous that I hesitate to tell it. but I am suppressing rather than expanding facts. One who for twent.;-five years has lived within the rays of the new light, can only wonder at the re- sults. Does i steopathy cure all and raise the dead from the grave? No, but the case which Osteopathy cannot reach is certainly very hopeless. The success Osteopathy has scored has been from cases that were abandoned. How do they healV I don ' l know. I am no Osteopath. It takes two long years of hard study to know how it is done, and I have never studied the science an hour, but I have seen thousands of cures before and after taking, and I am fully convinced that Osteopathy can accomplish wonders. corjsuLT Dr. EDGAR BIGSBY J 22 SOUTH FIRST ST.

I never wrote anj-thing to be printed before, but there never was anything impressed me as being so _grand as the subject I am now thinking about; Now, lust keep in mind I am a Prep., and don t expect too much of me. If our class was getting out an Annual you ' d never get a chance at this piece. It ' s going to be about you Juniors, as j-ou appear to me. I guess you can commence printing at the next sentence. Words fail to express the grandeur in which the noble Junior appears before me as I write. M}- thoughts have ascended clima.x after climax above these words and trul - j ' our place is be ' ond even ni}- thoughts. It is onh ' wilh fond hopes of being in your perfect state in five -ears that I have courage e -en to hreathe the same air that sustains your life To walk down to the front row in chapel as I daih ' see you do is to me a moment I would gladly exchange for all things ever enjoyed. I am explicitly happy or squelched as you greet me smiling or gruff. The Jov.- of college life were ever told me even from child- hood ' s earliest memories, do I recall them, bnt at the sight of Juniors I no longer remember those once pleasant stories. The years but lately past when I in explicit happiness played at the feet of mj mother have become as weary ages Juniors then unknown are the center of mv greatest desires.

If, while sitting in the library, j-ou happen to glance from your book and find a young lady looking at 3 ' ou, do not fail to tell your most intimate friend that Miss So-and-So is fascinated with 3 ' our charms. If she should happsn to be admiring the color of your necktie, don ' t forget to tell your chum that the girl with the blue dress is stuck on you. And should she be studj ' ing }-our ph -siognomy — not because she admires you, but to see what 3 ' ou realh have to be so conceited about — remember the boys on the coruer are eager!}- waiting for a bit of news and hurry and tell them that the girl in the grey suit looked at you an hour, and you believe she ' s a peach. Or should she be studj-ing the insig- nificgance of 3 ' our face; and 3-on happen to see her, be sure and take it that she thinks j-ou handsome, and call a 3-oung man aside and tell him all about it. Or, if on two accidental occasions j-ou catch her eye, be sure that j ' ou smile to j-ourself and inwardly think that the young lad - has lost her heart, when perchance she maj- be trj ' ing to follow the outline of j-our nose. Or, if on two successive mornings there happens to be only one vacant chair in the library — and that is beside 3 ' ou— and the lad} ' in .brown takes that chair both times, be sure 3-ou send a note across the room to 3 ' our equall3 ' observant friend and tell him that she tries her best to sit b3 ' you ever3 ' da3-, when nine chances out of ten she is utterh- unconscious of your presence. Or, if she ' s a new student, and 3-ou see her smiling at a 3 ' oung man of her acquaintance, don ' t fail to hurt her in the e3-es of the people by saying That new girl ' s a flirt, when at heart she ' s a pure-minded girl with no thought of coquetr} ' about her.

[As these letters are of actual social and domestic life of a prominent M. C. girl, the name is, for obvious reasons, withheld.] INION ' MOUTH, III., Sept. i6, 1S96. Mv DE-iR Sister:— Just think of it! I am writing to yon the ver}- first instant I have had time. They tell me first impressions are lasting, but I sincerely hope the old saying may prove decidedh- untrue this time. When I got off the train I looked in vain for a conve ' ance I might call a cab. Nothing of that kind being visible, with quakings of fear and awful imaginings I entered a tumble-down affair which looked as though it had been making the trip from the station to College End from time immemorial Added to my uneasiness of spirit, ever3- spring and every knob on the whole conveyance heralded my arrival in screechj- tones: New girl coming! New girl coming! while everv rib in its skeleton jogged m}- memory with the fact that she was I. The towm is fine — were it always a pleasant day. The inhabitants well know a new student without any introduction, especially one from Ohio where they have stone sidewalks and respectable mud. The first day it was rainy and mj- sensations were somewhat, I imagine, what a man ' s would be were he tr ' iug to climb a greased pole. One gradually gets used to the fact that she is expected to fall at every second corner to furnish a spectacle for the populace. I suppose I am doubly awkward, but here one at least learns to accomplish some feats with ease. The sidewalks are of boards, laid S3 that there is just room between them to catch my parasol tip or my heel. I have learned to carry my parasol ' a la New Woman, but have pulled heels off of two pairs of shoes. Consequently, so reduced in my outfit I will not be surprised to find myself on the street in bedroom slippers. My first day at Chapel was a momentous affair. The impresiion had so weighed and preyed upon my mind that I must look my very best that I laid aside three hours for ahe trying ordeal, so that my appearance in Chapel A. R.

To more completeh ' hide any remaining signs of verdancy I applied about a half a peck of talcum, ' and then I tried to put on my hat. Ah, me! a trying ordeal was that. I tipped it high, and I tipped it low, and ever}- way that thing would go. It wouldn ' t go high, and it caught on my hair till I wished I could hire a man to swear; but alas, there wasn t a man liugering there. So I ejaculated. On my way up to the College I did uot know that those that I met were new like mj ' self, and my mental desire was, If these are Jlonmouth students, send me home! When I had gained the steps in front of the porch the panes of glass surrounding the doors were filled with boj-s ' faces, staring at me with a ver ' impudent stare, and again I would cr} ' If these are Monmouth bo}-s, send me to a ladies ' seminary. The girls ' w-aiting, or gab room, as it ought to be called, needs a natiie to tell 3-0U what it is. A three- toothed comb, three one-pronged curlers and a two-by-three mirror complete the outfit. I found the old students early at Chapel. Their heads turned as on a pivot, taking a silent inventorv of ever}- outfit. Oh! the agony of thirty seconds as I walked down the aisle. Xext year whose head will turn ' Teursday Xight. — I was at the reception to new students to-night. The students looked fine in their evening suits. There is one young man who looked especiallv nice and acted nicely, too. I don ' t think he had just graduated from high school, and was not used to his new suit and had never had patent leathers before. He treated me as though he had been out before. I like the iM.C boys lots better than I did before. The only uglj- thing about it was they pmned labels on us with our names. I turned mine over, because the old students took a delight in coming around every minute Bnd saying; Let ' s see; 3-our name is — Brown, Smith or Jones.
