These men, Porter, Ross, Erskine, Wallace, Brown, Morrison and ethers, inspired by the spirit of the frontier laid the foundation of our college through courage, persistence and determination. Not now, nor at any period since, and probably never again will appear here such a distinguished constella- tion of those intellectually great as existed in Illi- nois during the quarter of a century immediately antecedent to the founding of Monmouth College. At that time in the life of the pioneer with its hardships, deprivations and poverty, one could not go far to seek for an education. It must, to be available, be brought to his door. The found- ers of Monmouth College appreciated the sacri- fices of the fathers and mothers who fought and conquered the wilderness and resolved that their children should not surfer loss on account of self- denial and hardships of their ancestry. They felt that divine afflatus which had led Webster in speaking of his father, to say, If I ever fail to remember him who pioneered his way into the wilderness that the lot in life of his children might be better than his own had been, may my name and the name of my posterity be forever blotted from the memory of mankind. Rev. J. C. Porter and Rev. Robert Ross, then pastors of the Associate Reformed, now the United Presbyterian Church over congregations of Cedar Creek and South Henderson in Warren and Henderson Counties, first conceived the idea which led to the establishment of Monmouth Col- lege. Led in this movement by these pastors, the Second Associated Reformed Presbytery of Illi- nois, met in the South Henderson Church in Oc- tober, 1852, and took the first step in this work. It was resolved that these two ministers, together —10— 19 TRAVELINGS 13$ . with Rev. W. R. Erskine, be a committee to devise and report means and measures, and at the next meeting of the Presbytery held at Clayton, in Adams County, in April, 1853, upon the report of this com- mittee it was resolved that an academy should be established which was located at Monmouth, and its first board of di- rectors consisted of Rev. J. C. Porter, Rev. Robert Ross, Rev. W. R. Erskine and Messrs. Madden, A. C. Harding and N. A. Rankin. This board placed Rev. James R. Brown promptly in charge of the Academy and it was opened for the reception of students in November, 1853. „ , , , ill The First College hucn marked success attended the undertaking that in the summer of 1 855 the Presbytery resolved to raise the institu- tion to the grade of a college, and measures were taken to provide buildings and funds, and in January, 1856, the Board of Trustees elected a faculty. Rev. David A. Wallace of Fall River, Massachusetts, was chosen president; Rev. Marion Morrison of Tranquility, Ohio, Professor of Mathematics; and Rev. J. R. Brown, before mentioned, Professor of Ancient Languages. These persons accepted their respective appointments and on the first Monday of September, 1 856, Monmouth College opened for the reception of students for the first time, as a college. It is to these early founders that we owe the existence of Monmouth College. It is through their sturdy spirit, bred of poverty and self-denial, that marked its The Old Main Bui ' .dinff — 11— J 19 TRAVELINGS earlier years and which may long enrich its spirit and lay the foundation of great character for noble men and women. The first class was graduated in 1 858 with an enrollment of fourteen. Mrs. Margaret Find- ley Thompson, who was born in 1837, is the only surviving member of this class. For many years, she has made her home in Monmouth. She has always held a very deep interest in her alma mater. She is a woman of rare intellect and culture. Mrs. Thompson was a sister of Mrs. David A. Wal- lace. Mrs. Margaret Findley Thompson y ne JJ est a l urnnus Q f MonmOUth College is Rev. John S. Speer, who left Monmouth College in the second graduating class, that of 1860, there being no graduates in 1859. Mr. Speer was born on Novem- ber 25, 1836, being just one year older than his cousin, Mrs. Thompson. No alumnus of Monmouth College has iived a fuller life than this one. He has been a student, a teacher of schools, a professor in College, Muskingum; a superintend- ent of city schools, at Cambridge, Ohio; a soldier, serving in the Civil War, first as Captain of Infantry, Company A, 85th Ohio Volunteer Infantry; then as a Signal Officer; a minister, and not the least, a farmer. He has been a minister of the gospel for nearly fifty-seven years and still can conduct a service with as much vigor and ease as he ever could. He still serves as a minister at Cambridge, Ohio . That David A. Wallace proved to be divinely chosen to become the first first president of Monmouth College was evi- dent from his high quality leadership and per- sonality. His name was a synonym of loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion. He sent many a man and woman into the world who were trained and equipped by his care and faith- fulness, and inspired through his teaching, prayers, and heroic example. Two years after the first college faculty, above mentioned, began the great educationa work of our school, there came another bring- ing with him ability and resources, namely Dr. Alexander Young. He possessed the strength of will that won the the respect of everybody, with scholarship that feared no criticism, with thoughtfulness of the feelings of others that touched every heart — especially every student ' s heart. — 12— Rev. John S. Speer 19 TRAVELINGS 24 It was largely through the excel- lent leadership of Dr. Wallace that Monmouth College made such rapid progress in the early days of its exis- tence. There were various helpers in this work, but the bulk of the effec- tive work, was, after all, done by the president. His purpose, and that of his coadjutors, was to found a school where the higher education should be given for the glory of Christ. The de- sign was to build a Christian college which should move, as far as possible, by Christian principles and on the line of Christian life. In dealing with the students, while he sought their thor- oughness in educational matters, he desired, above all things, and at all times, that their hearts might be right and their Spiritual life rightly directed. Dr. RusseU Graham (From the First Ravelings ) Though at the time of the Civil War, Monmouth College was struggling in its infancy such a great number of the men of the faculty and student body left their educational work and fell in line with those who were endeavoring to save the union, that it nearly became necessary to close the school altogether. Dr. Wal- lace after much thought and prayer concluded that it was not for the best to halt the work of the college thus far carried on but rather said, We must educate whether there be peace or war! From its Board of Trustees, its Faculty, and its student body, the College furnished to the Union Army from 1861 to 1865 not only many privates but a large number of men who were placed in high positions of command, namely, one Brigadier General, four Majors, seventeen Captains, thirteen Lieutenants, etc. Aside from the officers there were one hundred and forty-three who served in the ranks, making a total of two hundred and thirty-two men as the contribution of Monmouth College to this gigantic struggle. ' Tis true there were many who did not return, one out of every eight gave the last full measure of devotion, but happy were the days on Monmouth Col- lege campus when in June, 1865, all the ' 62 troops came home. Tongue cannot tell nor heart feel the joy at their coming. They had opened up to four million black people the opportunity to make the best of themselves and revealed the per petuating power of republican institutions. It was a great work. Social recep- tions were given them. They were feasted and dined Public entertainments were arranged for them, at which tables were burdened with all the luxuries and delicacies of the season. Bells were rung and the nights made glorious with bril- liant fire-works. —13— J 19 TRAVELINGS 24 In September many again entered Monmouth College; but the empty sleeves and the resounding crutch on conscious floor told too plainly the story of their sacrifice. Let us now come to the second president of the college, the one who for nineteen years was its guide and counsellor, Dr. Jackson Burgess McMichael. He was born near the Class of -93 (From the First Raveiings ) village of Poland. Ohio, where he spent his early years. These seventeen years of farm life gave the rugged strength of mind and body, the knowledge of simple, homely things, and provided the balance so often lacking in the scholastic mind. At this time came that stirring within for more and better education and a desire to read and study those things that other men had wrought in oth r days. Later he entered Westminister from which he graduated in 1 859. After teaching for a few months he decided to fit himself for the ministry, and in 1862, after his three years in the seminary, he was ordained and took up his pastorate at Sugar Creek, Ohio. It was from this place that Dr. J. B. McMichael was called to the presi- dency of Monmouth College in 1878. He found awaiting him a small co-edu- cational college which in the years of his administration was to meet and grapple with some of the most serious problems of its existence. Church colleges had especial difficulties to face as the bigotry of religious instruction was urged and the breadth of secular education. In those days it seemed to be almost a losing fight. Dr. McMichael had to meet the demand for a broader curriculum; to make response to the appeals along scientific lines; to keep the college abreast with growng, expanding thought He had to do this with conservative prece- dents and lack of sufficient funds. It is a matter of great congratulation that through all of these years, Monmouth College has remained a college with firmly established standards, which believes with President Parsons, of Parson ' s Col- lege, The purpose of such a school is to found character and character of the right kind; to turn out men and women who are symmetrical. In all Dr. McMichael ' s contact with others there was that ever-abounding sense of humor which is the salt of character and likewise the lubricant of human relationship. The personal and human side of things was very near to him. He was ever close to his students. In his own home he was the soul of hospitality, and a ready and efficient help to the boy or girl in need of good, wholesome, fatherly advice. Dr. McMichael was a great believer in old fashioned scholarship as the basic law of learning. Also he was heart and soul in favor of wholesome ath- letics, being a familiar figure at the thletic field. Through nineteen long years of faithful friend and counsellor of recurring generations of students and watched -14— : M 1 ■ r PI iki fll affi ' j 5j|fi Baseball and Football Teams from the First Ravelings the steady advance of Monmouth College. Dr. McMichael returned to Sugar Creek, Ohio where his earliest days of ministry were spent. Here, in quiet, ear- nest labor and most pleasant social surroundings several happy years of service were given. It was during the latter part of Dr. J. B. McMichael ' s days as president of our college that the Monmouth College Auditorium was erected, in 1896 by contractor D. E. Wade of the class of ' 87. Rev. Samuel Ross Lyons was the third president of Monmouth College, from 1898 to 1901. It was during his administration that the endowment of the college was increased by $100,000.00 through a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Law of New York. Mr. Lyons was a man filled with the spirit of Christ and one who held the confidence of everyone. There is much to say yet little needs be said regarding the administration of the present president, Dr. T. H. McMichael who became president of Mon- mouth College in 1903. One has only to consider our college as it is today with its beautiful buildings and above all the high and noble standards and ideals of our beloved institution, to obtain even a limited conception of all that Dr. McMichael means to Monmouth College. It is impossible to estimate the wholesome influence inspired by his boundless spirit, in the hearts of the present student generation as well as in the hearts of the thousands of alumni whom Monmouth College has sent to all portions of the globe. We now come to the golden age in the history of Monmouth College when our present college buildings were erected in close succession. There was the Library building, made possible by the generous gift of Andrew Carnegie, built in 1907. Wallace Hall followed in 1908, and McMichael Hall or the Science building in 1909. Mr. Wade was again summoned to Monmouth College in the building of McMichael Home for the girls, in 1915. The latest but by no means the last acquisition to our group of college buildings is Sunyside , which appeared in S TlQ TtAVELINGS 24 1920. Only a few years will revise this matter of college equipmenet in regard to buildings. So rapid is the progress which is being made on the new athletic field that work will soon be begun on the magnificent new gymnasium, the boys ' dormitory to follow, fraternity, and sorority houses, and only time can tell the story. We are thankful that Monmouth College has been an enterprising and growing institution since 1853 with the greater part of her history in the making; history, which only future generations can relate.

Library Books! Books! Books! On the long, black shelves I see, And I wish that I could remember The lessons assigned to me. But here ' s to the library tables. And here ' s to the library dates, I ' ll cultivate my friendships And leave my grades to the fates. -18— Wallace Hall The queen of our campus hath a situation rare Calling many students in from almost everywhere Two white walks a-leading up to Wallace Hall, Tiers of steps ascending between the pillars tall. Professors awaiting to give you knowledge true, Text books to guide you into paths anew, Many wayside meetings — crowded stair and halls. Oh the life and mem ' nes that are sheltered by her walls ' —19— i Lobsters and angle worms, Jelly fish and cats, Martin and Haldeman To put things ' neath your hats. Molecules and atoms, HC1 and gas Test tubes and beakers; Do you s ' pose we ' ll pass? McMichael Home Jolly old place with its rules and bells; Thrilling, the story a dorm girl tells; Guest night dinners and midnight spreads, A hundred fancies in young girls ' heads, Late permission and cuts from meals Who can tell how a dormite feels? A little bit of study and lots more fun, If all were told, ' twould never be done. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Sunnyside Across the street arises Sunnyside So bright and cheery ; part of Monmouth ' s pride. A home for maidens; alluring to the men Who, having called once, call and call again. Enticing sun porch, spicy music free Make it as pleasant as a dorm can be. —22— Hj 1Q TRAVELINGS 24 New Gymnasium There are dreams, and dreams, said the architect As he planned what he would do, But I have a dream for old M. C. Which I find is coming true. And the Monmouth students boosted, And the old alumni gave, And the workman with his shovel Made the stubborn soil behave. Till we ' ll soon have a gymnasium Which is worthy to compete With the highest type of building; Well, it simply can ' t be beat. —23— i 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Campus View Our hearts leap up when we behold The campus through the trees. So was it in the autumn haze, So is it in the spring time days. ' Twas also in the winter ' s cold A flawless view!

Es- ther is an ardent believer in beauty sleep, and proves a good specimen of the truth of the old adage, Early to bed — KENNETH WELLS He doesn ' t say much maybe that n thinks a lot. Kenneth is fond of football, Spanish and Spanish tutors. He ii a very good natured soul which may account he for MARTHA DEEN Martha bobbed her hair with all the rest of the bolsheviks and she has nev- er regretted it, which is more than some of them can say. She plays a pi- ano like Irving Berlin, likes all the boys, but par- ticularly prefers one. -60— to WILLA WATT Willa has a very indi- vidual personality. She has a mind of her own and she believes in using it. Her favorite avoca- tions are car riding, boys, dancing, (sh I) studies, (occasionally) ; in short she likes to give the impres- sion she is frivolous, but on more than o she has been give her cerebri out. GEORGE BERRY People who do things they know they shouldn ' t — ■ and people who always do what they should are rath- er afraid of George. He says just what he thinks and in no uncertain terms either. George is an all around sort of chap and is on of the few boys who managed to thread the de- vious path leading to the honor rol. Oh yes he used to be a woman hater but them days is gone forever. He has become a specialist in flappers. ELIZABETH JOHNSON Elizabeth is one of Rob- bie ' s pets. She would faint with horror if she ever got a C and we doubt if she ever got a B. Altho she is very retiring she has a saving sense of humor which makes her a very agreeable person. -61— 10 TtAVELTNGS 24 EVELYN WHERRY Evelyn is one of Miss Riga ' s proteges.

HAROLD YOUNG He looks and acts and gives the impression of be- ing a Sir Galahad gum- shooing around for another Holy Grail, but as the old rubber stamp goes, You ' d be surprised. He is one of those cornfed Hawkeyes vho nade when Iowa U. did stuff at New Haven. MARY HOWARD He looking at our best advertise- of those college ' s ment. She ' s rare creatures whom the Gods endowed with brains and beauty — one in a mil- lion. Everyone knows Mary and we won ' t waste time dilating about her virtues and abilities. She knows so much the men are afraid of her and she is so good looking they hate themselves for being afraid. Nuff sed. —62- VELMA McCREERY Velma has acquired such a reputation for judging character that the fresh- men regard her with al- most as much awe as a for- tune teller — and it is quite true that she has an un- canny ability to assay peo- ple at their true value. She has a sense of humor which causes her to write essays on the tyranny of it, and she is the best kind of a good sport. Every- body likes Velma — they just can ' t help it. ROBERT McCRACKIN Robert manages to ac- complish a great deal more than the average college young man. Hobbies — Y. M. C. A., glee club, and Wirtz ' s. He likes the girls without getting enthusias- tic about them. Robert is another one of our illus- trious sons whom we ex- pect to hear from later. RUTH HUNTER Ruth has a sense of hum- or which stands her in good stead in more than one critical moment. She can be depended upon for anything whether it ' s Mam- my ' s part in the class play, a dorm eats committee, or a Sunday School Class down on the West Side. Ruth ' s right there with the goods. Take it all around she ' s a fine sort . — 53- - _ : INA ROBINSON We present another of the staunch supporters of the college choir.

JOHN HUEY John just hates to exert himself any more than he has to. It ' s positive tor- ture for him to get to 7 :45 clas on time. He demon- strates that he can be ac- tive by caling on Professor Robinson every other night or so, to talk over the psy- chology of the criminal mind no doubt. LOIS WARNOCK Lois went to Grinnell for two years before she decided that Monmouth was the college for her. We are all glad she came and we think she is too, absolutely Mr. Gallagher! PAUINE STRUTHERS This isn ' t the young lady Browning wrote the poem about but she would have made him a fit subject. She is noted for her chapel flirtations, her good look- ing bobed hair and her pleasant disposition. GEORGE THOMPSON The less said about this individual the better. He edited this book. News Note— The editor of the Ravelings left town by rail. The angry Juniors furnish- ed the rail. He has gone out for everything except the girls ' glee club since he came to school, and has managed to get in on more than his share of student activities, but no one else takes him seriously. RUTH MOORE To attempt to list the ac- complishments o f this modest looking girl would be a staggering task. When one debates (expertly) , sings (not badly), gets good grades and-but what ' s the use ? Sufficient to say that Ruth is a model all and ith ile and firm handclasp. —66— 1Q TRAVELINGS 24 DOROTHY CASLIN Enter Dorothy, tall, state- ly, good looking:- She at- tends classes regularly, but aside from that we see little of her we are sorry to say.

She is a good student and can always be depended upon. Although she knows her book, she has that meet me later look, that little Quak- er down in Quaker town. (Especially when Harold is around).

Colle£e Activities ATHLETICS . Review of Football Season 1922 Glenn Smith assumed his duties as football coach with twelve letter men left him by Stegeman besides a number of stellar high school players. Captain Wallace was kept out of the game for some time by an old injury but resumed his position at center in mid-season. Ex-Captain Scott played a slashing tackle all season and was scarcely a moment out- played or out-fought. The fact that eight freshmen added their names to the lineup nearly every game bodes well for Coach Glenn Smith an increasingly brighter record next year. The schedule was considered rather stiff with the Northwestern University game in mid-season and the annual Turkey Day battle with Knox closing the history fcr another year, leaving Monmouth ' s Conference percentage considerably advanced over that of last year with a strong indication for an even greater advance next year. Monmouth lost her first two games before the team had organized into a smooth-working machine. On October 7 Iowa Wesleyan was a 12-7 victor though Monmouth scored in the first five minutes of play. Eureka won 1 6-0 the follow- ing Saturday in a game featured by the excellent work of Monmouth ' s line and the fumbling of her backfield. October 21 witnessed a 28-14 Red and White victory over Augustana after the Swedes had scored twice in the first quarter. The double-threat spread forma- tion can be credited, with Bear doing accurate passing at fullback and Glanville showing excellent field generalship, calling signals from the halfback position. Strand and Scott fought hard in the line. Carthage was a 7-0 victim on the home field October 28. Monmouth again used the new formation to gain by long passes or short jabs through the line by Bear. Carthage had a heavier team but our line held them to a man. Bruner scored on a quarterback sneak. Illinois College came here with a heavy, snappy team on a wet, slippery field and gave the Red and White a 13 defeat November 4. The Monmouth team worked well but were outweighed and the wet field gave the visitors the advantage. NorthwesternUniversity was the opponent on November 18 and won 58-14. Clark and Rosenberg counted against their second string who could not score against Monmouth at all. Captain Wallace, Doty and McCaw played stellar ball in the line and showed university calibre of playing. It was only after Mon- mouth was worn down that the University ' s first team piled up the score. Fans saw Western State Teachers of Maccmb win 6-3 in a nightmare con- test here Nov. 24, with part of the team on the bench and the rest showing the effects of the last game. Knox won the Thanksgiving game 7-0 before 2000 people. The field was wet and slippery and there were many fumbles but neither team had the edge A punt blocked by Adams, Knox center, and picked up by a Siwash player brought the winning score in the last quarter. Goroni made most of Monmouth ' s gains from fullback with a line and interference hitting every time as if it was their last effort. Wallace, Bear, Scott and the two Hofstetters donned their moleskins for the last time. 9g_ IQ TV CAPTAIN WALLACE Tom was out of the game for a while but took over his old place at center when he returned. He always passed the ball accurately and was good at solv- ing the opponent ' s offense. Thus he made a good leader as well as being a strong factor in his team ' s success. His spectacular work in the Northwestern University game won him fame, as he made nearly half the tackles of the Red and White. CAPTAIN-ELECT MERLE GLANVILLE Biskit called signals from the halfback position. His choice of plays and the effective use of the of the disastrous spread formation made him known as an ex- ceptional field general. Besides he did all the punting and often ran with the ball. He will make a good captain for a good team next year. EX-CAPTAIN SCOTT Ned was a tower of strength at left tackle and his presence will be missed next year. He never failed to get a man if he touched him or to open up a hole when called upon. He used his four years of experience to advantage and could outwit as well as out-fight his opponent. LEONARD HOFSTETTER Leonard was kept out of the game nearly the whole season when his shoulder was broken in the Eureka game, but his playing at right guard was considered fault- less. Hard to hurt and always hitting hard his place will be hard to fill. HERMAN BEAR Cubby played fullback and was the best line smasher on the team. He did most of the passing and was uncannily accurate in tossing out long ones to be snagged on the run. His work in the Carthage game will long be remembered and it was too bad that his injury kept from carrying the ball in the Knox fray. He graduates. ROY HOFSTETTER Hoffie was used as utility man all season. He played well at end or in the backfield and always had the Hofstetter scrap. He also leaves. JOHN CLARK Clark played fullback part of the time and was a hard-hitting, shifty player. He was the only man who could gain in the Macomb game and played excel- lently against Northwestern University. He rates a junior. GEORGE BERRY Berry had hard luck in the way of injuries and was out of the game most of the season. He proved he could play last year and will be back in the gamenext fall. KENNETH WELLS Wells was another man who was out of the game most of the time due to in- juries. He is a good lineman of tested strength that can well be used next season. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 JOHN WELLS Jack was very adept at catching passes at left end as well as getting down fast under punts. He played all season and got his share of sensational catches without dropping a one. He has two more years of competition. ROY MANN Roy played a hard, consistent game at right end most of the season. He worked well as a receiver of passes and was a stylish tackier. Also a soph. CECIL McCAW Cec at left guard was one of the hardest scrappers on the team and always took his man out of the play. He has two more years of gridiron work. ARNOLD CLAYCOMB Claycomb won his letter last year and has had considerable gridiron experi- ence that will make him a valuable man next year. FRANK GOROM Gorom was used most at carrying the ball in the backfield at the fullback position. He was hard-hitting and ready to repeat if called upon the next play. He will likely be one of the best backs in the Conference next year. A frosh. JOHN STRAND Strand was there with the real fight on every occasion and more than did his share of the work. He was used at center until Wallace came out when he was shifted to end where he made good by the same indomitable spirit. Another rhinie. IRWIN DOUGLASS Douglass was rather light to play tackle but he made up this deficit by hard tackling and fighting. He was one of the hardest workers on the team and will develop a great deal by next fall. EDSON SMITH Edson played a strong game at guard although generally out-weighed, he never failed to give a good account of himself. This is his first year. TED ROSENBERG Rosy was shifted with Brunner at quarterback. He was a classy player and with this year ' s experience should improve materially by the next gridiron call. ADAM BRUNNER Brunie put over the winning score of the Carthage game by a quarterback sneak and also snared a pass against Augustana. He has three more years to weai the Red and White. HUBERT DOTY Doty came from Arkansas ' All-State selections and made good his first year in collegiate competition. He has the weight and fight to make a name for him- self on the gridiron next year. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Basketball 1922-3 Monmouth started her basketball season minus the services of Smiley and Lev Wallace of last year ' s stellar I. I. A. C. Championship team. Nevertheless the team got a good start and only lost to Northwestern University once in the first eight games of the year. Then came the Carthage slump from which a recovery was staged in time to take Knox and Augustana into camp by close margins. Then came another lapse from which the team was just recovering at the end of the season. The season ' s record shows twelve out of twenty games won altogether and victories over Augustana, Knox and other schools that had strong fives. Three trips were taken, one to Chicago, one into Iowa, and another south to Bloomington. Two out of these three were victorious. The personnel of the team which defeated Knox and trimmed Augustana twice was as follows: Mann, right forward; Glanville, left forward; McKee, center; Bear, running guard; Wallace, standing guard. Frakes and Diwocky entered school the second semester in time to play the latter part of the season. Bruner and Gorom made their letters and Pickens and F. Smith played part time. All four of these men will be back next year. Bear and Wallace will graduate. Roy Mann was chosen to lead next year ' s strong quintet.

He threw nearly all the fouls of the season besides dribbling the length of the floor occasionally to get his name in the scoring column. His place will be hard to fill as he not only analyzed the opponent ' s offense but was the mainstay of the Red and White defense. CAPTAIN-ELECT ROY MANN Roy was a strong man on the offensive side of the game. When the sleeper style of play was used Mann ran the floor as well as keeping his man busy beyond the center of the floor. This style of play won many games during the season in- cluding some of the most important. Mann has been at the popular game a long time and he is well fitted to lead a strong quintet. HERMAN BEAR Cubby cannot be mentioned without thinking also of Wallace for the two worked perfectly together. As soon as Tom secured the ball he started the offense in motion by passing to Bear who really directed the offensive style of play to a great extent. Bear leaves a great vacancy when he graduates. MERLE GLANVILLE Glanville played forward on the combination that beat Knox and took Aug- ustana into camp twice in close games. His chief asset is fighting spirit which he carries over from football and he always keeps on his feet and keeps moving which is something to comment on. He is a sophomore and will make a strong bid for a regular berth again next year. ELVAS McKEE Slim played forward some of the time but was used best at center and could generally be relied upon to control the tip-off. He was adept also at tipping or tossing the ball in the basket from within the foul line and he counted many scores in this manner. Another sophomore that can be counted upon next year. FRED DIWOKY Diwoky entered school the second semester and was only in the game the lat- ter part of the season. However, he showed up well and will make a strong bid for his forward position next year. His specialty is in being hard to guard and using the bounce pass effectively against a stubborn defense. ADAM BRUNNER Brunner is another football man that keeps fighting all the time. Although han- dicapped in reaching passes by his stature he played some nice games and with his first year of college competition gone by will show improvement. He is a rhinie. JOHN FRAKES Frakes is another second smester man that showed a great deal of class and signs of development. He had a great deal of high school experience that stood him in good stead and with a year ' s experience to add he will be strong next year. FRANK GOROM Gorom could be used at guard or forward with a preference for the former. He is unusually fast for his size and covers the floor nicely as well as having an eye for the elusive basket. He is only a freshman and will be back next year. —102— Baseball 1922 Monmouth ' s baseball season was not a decided success. She won nine out of twenty games however, and only a break or two in the season ' s record when she lost games to teams she had previously beaten made her percentage as low as it was. There were times when the Dicksons and the infield worked so perfectly that it would have been hard for any Conference team to defeat them The team had one of the best batteries in the State in the Dickson twins who were so much alike and both wore glasses in the game that their picture appeared in the Chicago Tribune as the Eighth Wonder of the world. They were closely backed up by one of the classiest infields ever seen in action under Red and White colors. Glanville occupied the initial sack, Smiley played stellar ball on second, Captain Robt. Hamilton was exceptional at short and A. Hamilton made good at third base. Of the fielders Davis was the most accurate and had a good record. The team had a good batting average and Glanville, Davis, R. Hamilton and Smiley stood especially high in the art of getting hits consistently. Practically all the Conference baseball rivals were met during the season and also some outside teams appeared on the local diamond. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 CAPTAIN R. HAMILTON Bob played a consistent game at short and his playing was nearly flaw- less. He knew the game, was good with the stick and could pitch in pinches. CAPTAIN-ELECT A HAMILTON Red occupied third most of the time and is an old hand at the popular game. His experience qualifies him to lead next year s nine. ROBERT SMILEY Smiley was one of the handiest second basemen seen in baseball circles of college class. His fielding was excellent and his co-operation with Hamilton kept anyone on second worried all the time. RICHARD DICKSON Dick pitched some wonderful ball at times. He struck out eighteen men in the Northwestern game and did nearly as well on several occasions. WESLEY DICKSON Wes could handle his brother ' s throws to perfection and always did his share of the work. His peg to second caught many a man ten feet from the base. MERLE GLANVILLE Glanville was a snappy man on first and let few bad pegs get by his mitt. He was also handy with the cudgel. He will be back next season. WARREN DAVIS Davis was the best man in the outfield and scarcely ever failed to go to bat without smacking the apple . A freshman. KENNETH WELLS Wells made a name for himself when he hit the pill over the fence in the Lombard game. He played in the outfield and will be back. TOM WALLACE Tom was another occupant of the tall grass. He played a steady game and will be back for next season. LEV WALLACE Lev also played in the field and was very fast on his feet. He is a soph. $ jj iq traveling; Track Schedule Monmouth — 68; Iowa Wesleyan — 58 Monmouth — 70; Hedding — 56 Monmouth — 85; Augustana — 41 Monmouth — 29; Knox — 81 ; Lombard — 24 Monmouth — 71; Northwestern — 54 State Meet— Knox— 6OK2 ; Monmouth— 25 ' . bard— 23 Lom- Anderson Track Captain 11)22 F.

It is interesting to note that Knox is the only school that holds a victory over the Red and White cinder men in the last three years. All dual meets were won by large margins and the fact that Anderson, Pinkerton, and Dugan are the only graduates makes a strong team next year a certainty and not a prediction. Capt. Anderson set a new State and Monmouth record in the low hurdles when he won them in the remarkable time of 24 4-5 besides his enviable record in dual meets. Captain-Elect Fred Niblock, who won the 880 in every dual meet and placed in the State Meet besides running the relay, will make a good leader with his three years of track work. Bear was the wonder man of all dual meets and took the dashes and often firsts in the high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin, and shot put. He will likely repeat next year. Pinkerton won his letter by mas- tering the broad jump. Dugan won the 440 consistently and took fourth in the Conference. Griffith won many points in the high and broad jumps. C. Niblock ran the mile until the State Meet when he placed second in a 50 4-5 quarter. Roy Mann won the javelin in the big test and placed in both hurdle races. Benson did well in the dashes and relay. Bill Thompson won second in the State in the two-mile and will, likely, take first next year. Th e mile relay team of Dugan, Benson, F. and C. Niblock was beaten only by the crack Siwash four. Monmouth can lay as good a claim to last year ' s Conference Tennis Championship as any other school in the state with three ictories out of the four matches played. Two of these meets were victories over the strong Knox aggregation and the others a win and loss to Hedding. The loss may easily be accounted for by the fact that it came the day after a hard meet with Knox and the men were worn out and off form. The team entered the Conference Meet but this was not held due to a rainstorm. The first match was with Hedding and resulted in a 3-0 victory when Ramsey defeated Leigh 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, and Holt beat Schnedeker 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Huang and Holt won the doubles from White and Schnedeker 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. The first Knox meet was nearly a total victory. Ramsey beat Churchill 6-2, 6-3 ; Holt beat Marsh 1-6, 6-3, 6-3; Huang was beaten by Peterson 8-6, 13-11, The doubles were won by Holt and Huang 6-3, 6-3. The day after the hard Knox meet Hedding was a victor except for Ramsay who won his singles competition. The final Knox meet resulted in Ramsay ' s defeat of Marsh 10-8, 6-3; Holt ' s defeat of Peterson 9-7, 6-3; Huang was defeated by Smith 6-3, 6-3. Huang and Holt again took the doubles 6-3, 6-1. Holt and Ramsay played the single matches and were superior to nearly all the com- petition offered. Ramsay is an excellent court man and did not lose a single series dur- ing the whole year, while Holt has won many honors in various meets. These men were picked as single winners of the ill-fated State Meet. Holt and Huang played doubles and made a strong combination. Holt with his swift, low-bounding chop-stroke is a consistent player while with the valuable aid of Huang who is also strong at the net, the two made a winning combination. —108— 1Q TRAVELINGS 24 p F Women ' s Tennis Tennis and basketball form, the athletic activities of the women in the school. In the spring and fall the courts are kept busy all the time and the addition of four courts on the new athletic field will be greatly appreciated by lovers of the court game. This year ' s team had the traditional strength of teams of former years and went through the season with colors flying. Helen Brown was undefeated in the singles and Mary Gra- ham and Evelyn Douglass had the same clean slate in the doubles. The meet with Hedding held on the home courts May 5, was the first victory of the season. Helen Brown beat Hicks 6-3, 6-0 with little difficulty and Evelyn Douglass and Mary Graham defeated Abdill and Moore 10-8, 6-3. Later in the season the team invaded the Siwash courts and another Monmouth victory was the result and Knox was trampled on in a decisive manner. Helen Brown is probably the best woman ' s singles tennis player in this Conference. She is unusually quick, agile and has the endurance to stand a gruelling contest. Evelyn Douglass and Mary Graham played the doubles in all meets and went through the season undefeated. The team work they displayed was far superior to any they met with and they had a strong, consistent style of play. Mary Graham is the only one of the three lost by graduation. Two Mile Relay Team Monmouth had the distinction of having the best two-mile college relay team that stepped on the cinders this year. The team took second at the Illinois Relays and then came back and won their event in the Drake classic, setting a new record of 8 minutes, 10.5 seconds. The crack four were beaten out of first place at the Illinois Indoor Carnival by Carle- ton who won by a scant four inches in a dead finish to the tape. A new record was set in the event. The team ran as follows: Fred Niblock, 2:06; Ralph McAllister, 2:11; Chas. Niblock, 2:06; Walter Congdon, 2:02. The defeat can easily be accounted for by the lack of an indoor track which the runners had to train on. It was after this race that the team resolved to beat Carleton at Drake and began a long perod of intensive training in order to be at their best at Drake. Monmouth won the two-mile college relay at the great Drake classic by eight yards, setting a new mark in the event and stepping a faster race than any college ran at Penn on the same day. There were seventeen starters including teams from Florida and Ore- gon as well as nearby states so the honor is indeed great. The reward was a handsome trophy of a runner on his mark and individual gold medals. Charles Niblock ran first and although boxed the first lap finished tied for third in the excellent time of 2 :02. He ran a nice race and gave the team a good start. Rabh McAllister started fourth and finished second by one yard in 2:06.3 He sur- prised His own followers by setting loose a terrific sprint at the finish that passed all laggers. Captain Fred Niblock ran his race in 2:02.1 and finished first by eight yards. He let the Carleton man lead until the last 220 when he sprinted ahead and gave Congdon a handsome lead. Walter Congdon ran the fastest race of the four and kept his lead throughout the en- tire 880 and finished with a sprint that broke the old record by over a second. His time was two minutes flat. The team had a member from every class and Captain Fred Niblock is the only man lost for next year so that the Red and White with another addition should be even faster than th time made this year. —110— i flf[T9 TRAVELINGS 24 jiteran State Oratorical Contest Norris Davidson represented Monmouth in the State Oratorical Contest held at Augustana College, on December 14, 1922. Mr. Davidson won second place, the first place going to the representative of Eureka, who delivered an oration on International Friendship. Mr. Davidson ' s oration entitled, The Newer Internationalism was unusual for its depth of thought. The situation in the world today constitutes a challenege to all thinking American. Now, as never before, men emerged from a great life and death struggle, must solve their difficulties and cement lasting friendship. This can only be done by adopting the Spirit of service and brotherly love as taught by Christ — A Newer Internationalism. Mr. Davidson presented his oration with a forcefulness which won much favor with his audience. Monmouth ' s orator was a worthy representative of the school. 19 TtAVELTNGS 24 Tau Kappa Alpha Tau Kappa Alpha is a national honorary forensic fraternity a local chapter of which was installed in Monmouth College several years ago. Any man who represents Monmouth College in an intercollegiate forensic contest is eligible to membership in the fraternity. The members of the local chapter are: M. M. Maynard President Dr. T. H. McMichael Del Bowker John Kreitzer Clair Boruff Fleming Bailey John C. Allen, Jr. Roderic Smith Harold Sherwin Willis Hubbard George Thompson S J 19 TRAVELINGS 2 4 Men ' s Debate Team AFFIRMATIVE TEAM HAROLD SHERWIN is a new man in debate but proved himself a capable member of his team. He is a clear thinker, a forceful speaker and a consistent worker. His stage presence is cool and easy. George Thompson is a writer and speaker of note on the Monmouth Campus. His facility of speech and ease of adjustment made him a val- uable member of the team. A great power of per- suasion and a never-failing number of arguments to build up a case peculiarly fit him for an affirm- ative debater. Mr. Thompson will be in college for next year ' s debate season. Willis Hubbard is a debater who loves the game for its own sake. His easy stage appearance and ready expression make him a strong and de- pendable debater. A freshman, with three years of debate ahead of him, Mr. Hubbard shows promise of becoming a powerful contestant in college debating. NEGATIVE TEAM 19 TRAVELINGS 24 CLAIR BORUFF proved his unusual debating a- bility in the contests of last year. With a fault- less stage presence and a clear and forceful de- livery he is an unusually strong debater. The readiness with which he weighs the arguments of his opponents fits him for a leading place on the negative team. Fleming Bailey was a strong and reliable mem- ber of the team. His keenness of analysis and vividness of expression make him a bulwark of strength in debate. Mr. Bailey will be in school for next year ' s debate season. RoDERIC SMITH was another man whose skill as a debater was not discovered until this year. A zealous worker with a commanding voice he developed into a forceful debater. He has the ability of forcing every sentence home. —115- 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Men ' s Debate Season Monmouth teams have taken an active part in debate for many years and during the last decade have built up an enviable reputation in the debate world. The debates of this year were on the question, Resolved: That Congress should Prohibit Strikes in Public Utilities and the Coal Industry. Only two of the men had taken part in college debate before this year and Coach Hopkins is to be con- gratulated on his work in developing strong teams. The first event of the season was a dual debate between Monmouth and Illi- nois College. Both affirmative and negative teams lost the decision. In each case, however, the vote of the judges was two to one and the debates were exceptionally close. At Illinois the affirmative team lost the decision by a margin of only one per cent. The other debate of the season was a triangle with Augustana and North Western College. This triangle was conducted under a new and novel plan. Both teams from each school traveled so that no team debated upon its own floor. Each debate was judged by seven members of the faculty of the college where the debate was held, and in each case an expression of the opinion of the audience was also taken. Monmouth ' s affirmative team met the North Western negative at Augustana, winning a four to three decision, while at Monmouth, the North Western affirmative won a unanimous decision from Augustana, giving North Western a total of ten judges, Monmouth, seven, and Augustana, four. It is interesting to know, however, that although the Monmouth negative did not win the decision of the judges, the expression of the audience at North Western was two to one in their favor. -116- 19 -RAVELINGS Women ' s Debate Monmouth ' s Women ' s Debate Teams are fast building up a reputation equal to that of the men ' s teams. The season this year was a decided success, the Women ' s teams securing three victories out of four debates. The question debated was, Resolved: That the Federal Government should Own and Operate the Coal Mines of the United States. The affirmative team consisted of Velma McCrery, Lucile Douglass, August a Lucas and Hazel Childs. Those taking part on the negative team were Charlotte Cummings, Ruth Moore, Elizabeth Farrell, and {Catherine Jane Dunnan. The first debate of the season was a dual between Monmouth and Carthage College. At Monmouth the affirmative team won a unanimous decision over the Carthage negative, while the negative gained a two to one decision at Carthage. The second clash of the season was a triangular debate between Monmouth, North- western and Parsons. The Monmouth negative team debated the Parsons affirm- ative at Monmouth, Parsons winning two to one. The affirmative team went to Northwestern where they won a technical victory due to the fact that Northwestern failed to provide three judges. The decision of the two judges who were present resulted in a tie. The debate was very close and Monmouth ' s team made a credi- table showing. The excellent work done by the women ' s teams this year has added a new impetus to debating. With a chapter of Pi Kappa Delta on the campus and the majority of this year ' s teams back, the outlook for next year ' s season is very bright indeed. 10 TRAVELINGS 24 Women ' s Debate Team AFFIRMATIVE TEAM VELMA McCrery ' s skill in debating is unquestioned. She has an excellent command of the English lan- guage and a clear and direct style which quickly wins the interest of her audience. Miss McCrery ' s exceptional work on the team contributed largely to the success of the season. LuciLE DOUGLASS is a senior and is the only mem- ber of the girls ' teams who graduates this year. Miss Douglass is a debater of extraordinary ability and has a clear and forceful style of composition Her work on the Monmouth teams will be much missed and all regret that this is her last year in college. AUGUSTA LUCAS was a new member of the girls debate squad and took part in the Northwestern de- bate. With an easy stage appearance and much ability as a thinker Miss Lucas developed into a strong debater. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 NEGATIVE TEAM CHARLOTTE Cummings proved herself an excellent debater in last year ' s contests. Her work this year net only upheld this standard but showed that growth which is possible when high calibre ability is stimu- lated by zeal for debating. Pi Kappa Delta can be proud indeed of Miss Cummings. RUTH MOORE was the second member of the nega- tive team. This was Miss Moore ' s first year at Monmouth, having attended Hedding College dur- ing her freshman and sophomore years. She has a clear delivery and will be a strong contestant for next year ' s team. ELIZABETH FARRELL is another member of the team who proved her ability in last year ' s debates. She is an interesting debater and speaks in a manner which commands attention. Miss Farrei took part in the Parsons debate. KATHERINE JANE DUNNAN is a freshman and will have three more years of intercollegiate debate. In addition to possessing every attribute for effective delivery and pleasing appearance, Miss Dunnan demonstrated a willingness to work and a degree of ability in handling argument that offers great prom- ise for her future work in debating. -119— 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Pi Kappa Delta Pi Kappa Delta is a national honorary debating fraternity.

Livers, A. W. Newcomb, and Rev. R. W. Lindsay gave a unanimous decision in favor of the negative Philo team composed of Clair Boruff, Fleming Bailey, and Roderic Smith. The Eccriteans who upheld the affirmative were John C. Allen, Jr., Del Bowker, and Paul Warfield. The best individual debater was Clair Boruff of the Philo team, who received a ten dollar personal prize. The winning team also received a thirty dollar prize from the donations of Captain James of Jacksonville, Florida, and Mr. James Nevin of Pittsburg, Pa. The James-Nevin Debate is always one of the most interesting forensic activities of the year. This year the question debated was, Resolved: That Congress should Prohibit Strikes in the Public Utilities and the Coal Industry. The unanimous victory for Philo reversed the decision of last year which the Eccriteans had captured by a unanimous vote. As a result of this contest the negative team for inter-collegiate debate was chosen. This team was made up of Clair Boruff, Fleming Bailey, and Roderic Smith. The three best debaters of the evening were, Boruff, Bailey and Bowker. A. B. L. — Alethorean Contest Aletheorean was victorious in the annual A. B. L.-Aletheorean Literary Contest. Every point was closely contested but Aleth carried eight points by winning Debate, Oration and Declamation. A. B. L. won two points in Short Storj ' . Marian Wilder and Gladys Whitmore won the debate, against Helen Brown and Ruth Lant. The question ; Resolved : That the French Occupation of the Ruhr is both Justi- fiable and Advisable, was a timely and interesting one. None of the debaters were ex- perienced but it is hoped that some of the four who acquitted themselves so creditably will enter the Intercollegiate debates next year. The winning oration, America Gagged , by Velma Lewis, was a plea for tolerance and for freedom of thought and belief. Newer Americanism by Eva Agnes McKnight, urged America to carry the freedom and spirit of the Pilgrims into the entire world. The winning story, A New Lease en Life by Velma McCreery, was a clever hum- orous tale of the adventures of a young man. The Masterpiece by Elizabeth Farrell, a dramatic story of a musician was splendidly written. Margaret Eddy won declamation with the Old, Old Story. Margaret McQuiston read The Worst of Being a Fairy. 19 TRAVELINGS 24 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Program The Gypsy Trail Kipling-Galloway The Hunters ' Farewell Mendelssohn The Glee Club I ' ll Sing Thee Songs of Araby Clay F.

The College Band was indeed a great help in inspiring our teams who worked so hard for Old Monmouth. COLLEGE CHOIR The College Choir, composed of about thirty men and women of the Con- servatory, was unusually good this year. All of the special musical numbers of the Vesper Services of the year were given by the College Choir. Besides the special music, the choir served as a leader for the other Vesper music. Their work was certainly appreciated this year. -132— —134— 19 TRAVELINGS 24 Editorial The editor, having fought a good fight with engravers, printers and other gentlemen of like calibre, having finished the course in so far as he is able, sends this book to press with mingled feelings of trepidation and relief. He wishes to thank the staff for their splendid co-operation and faithful work. Especial mention should be made of the work of Mary Lee Rife and Eleanor Davidson. Mary Lee furnished most of the art work for the book. It speaks for itself. To Mary Lee is extended the gratitude of the entire staff. She proved herself a true friend in need and did her work quietly and willingly. Eleanor Davidson wrote the verses which are found in the campus section. The editor extends to her his most sincere appreciation. Whatever may be the faults of the book, and they are many, it represents the sincere effort of the Junior class to give to the student body of Monmouth College a worthy record of the year ' s activities.

The attic had been transformed into a cemetery. Tombstones and dry leaves gave a dismal effect. Finally a ghostly figure appeared, and began to dig up the graves, which proved to be those of his fraternity brothers. The ghost made ap- propriate comments on each one. Refreshments of punch, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and doughnuts were served in cafeteria style. i9 TRAVELINGS 2- PHI DELTA SIGMA DINNER AT HAWCOCK ' S Honoring her new members, Phi Delta Sigma entertained at six-thirty din- ner in Hawcok ' s upstairs dining hall on Saturday, November 1 1 .

Consequently, on Saturday evening. October the 1 4th, the doors of McMichael Home were thrown open to the men of the College. All of the rooms were gaily and festively decorated, and some, with their black cats and witches, foretold the approach of Hallowe ' en.

Eminent educators are proclaiming that modern education is a joke. We have included in this section a number of separate educations. After having read and pondered the ether sections of this book, we hope that you may iron out your troubled feelings and iron in wrinkles of mirth around your mouth and laughing eyes. When we knocked the L out of Ravelings, we did it tak- ing upon ourselves the deep responsibility to take away the sad effect upon you of having seen your picture further forward in the book. We don ' t blame you for feeling badly about it. We almost wept ourselves when we saw it. Say, don ' t you thin k that we need a dedication to this part Mr. Editor? Yes! I knew we did! Therefore we, after due deliberation, and after taking twenty-four separate ballots to obtain a majority, have elected — what was it we elected, Secretary? Oh, yes! We elected for our dedication the dark doorway of Science Hall, which has so often furnished a place of refuge for lovelorn couples without telling a word. In recognition of these services, and realizing that its duty is done forever — darn the class of ' 21 for those lights — we wish to give our best to this cherished corner.
