Witli a iicrccntagc of .714, Muuunuitli stood fifth in llu- Illinois lutcrcollc;-;iatc Athletic Conference which includes twcuty-four colleges. ' I ' liis i dud recoid was made nolwitli- standing the fact that the ten .game schedule which the te.ini went through was an ex- ceeclingl hard one. The first two Kanies and the last, with ( ' oe, Waliash, and Knox, were played against there of the outstanding teams among the colleges of this section ui the country Xearjy all the other teams .m the schedide feel a s|iecial ri alry with Monmouth and fight hanler to win the M. nmoulli game tlian almost aii other the iday. Augustana. Mureka, and .Macomb made llu ' .Momnoulh game the fralinc ' of Iheir homecoming celeliratious, and at Lake Forest it was llie Dad ' s 1).l altraclion. Illinois College and Northwestern make the ila of the .Monmouth game their homecoming when it is played on their home fiehls. The fighting sjiirit of the Carthage team was infused hv the large luimher of rooters which aci ' ompanied their gridiron men to thiir battle here. To play constantly against teams which are pointed tor that particular game is no easy task. In every game, however, (exce|it that a.gainst Augustana. and perliaps against Wahash ) the Monmouth players fought in a manner that was a credit to themselves, their coaches, and their .Alma Mater. The feature id ' the team was its .-.tron.g forward passing attack. For the last three years Glenn Smith has been working out a style of forward passing game which is peculiarly his own. To the deceiition of the numerous decoys, a shift was added last season and this combination made a formation that was almost impossible for opiiosing players to diagnose. When these clever pla s were turned over to Taylor, who can ]iass a football like one ordinarily throws a baseball, and Moleswortb, who can catch anythnig that comes at all near him, there was a combination that was hard to beat. The Taylor to Molesworth machine comideted 28 out of 29 ]iasses fluring the season. Of course, there were numerous passes completed with other men on ibe recei ing end. But the quality of the forward passing game in which the backfield plays an important part should not be allowed to cause the work of the line to ]iass without notice. The stiff defense offered by the Monmouth line was more than n:ost of the teams met could pene- trate at all Consistently. The line idays used b. the team met with fair success and would have been more successful had the line not been bandicajiped by the lack of a first rate line plunger in the backfield. The fact that Lewis. Doty, and Jones were picked by numerous sport writers as being cd ' all-state calibre shows that the line was of more than average strength. Coe won the first game of th e season on their field by a score of 12-,i. I ' .arly in the game Jolm Graham ran back a ptmt to the (. ' oe thirt y.ird line. . plunge gained a little. An offside man lost five yards. . pass failed. Then Faxlor booted a place kick for three points. Monmouth held this lead uiUil six minutes from the end of the .game when Coe scored a touchdown, liotb teams had been worn out b. the bard placing on the muddy field, but the Coe coach had capable reserves which be injected into bis backfield and the fresh men turned the trick. Coe ' s second touchdown was a forward pass thrown less than a minute before the end of the game. Doty, by his great defcnsixe work, made himself the star of the game. Wabash showed the Red and White players what real football is by beating them 26-7. Wabash had a powerful line and a driving backfield. The first score made by the Indiana team was due to a forward pass; the others were made b line ]ilays. The Mon- mouth score was a Taylor to Molesworth pass. Page Sixty-three 4343 m£ Carthage was fought to a standstill hy a cri]i|)le :l Monmouth team. Irwin Douglass suffered a broken hand in the ' abash game. Doty got an injured back. In practice before the Carthage game John Graham bad hurt his shoulder so that he was unable to play again until the Illinois game. Other members of the team were suffering from minor injuries but were able to play after a fashion. The game was a fight from start to finish and contained many thrilling incidents although it ended in a scoreless tie. Van Horn made a forty yard run from punt formation but was finally stopped. Augustana got the long end i f a 14-7 score at Rock Island. The winning score was made on a forward pass play which was good for sixty yards. John Craham. Lake Douglass, and John Wells, all regulars, were out of the game with injuries. Eureka was given a beating on her lionie field to tlie tune of 17-6. In this game the team foimd itself. Although outweighed by the Eureka linemen, the Monmouth line held Eureka scoreless while they paved the way for the Red and White baekfieldmeu to score two touchdowns and a place kick. The Eureka touchdown was made on an intercepted pass with wdiich the interceptor ran fifty _ ards. Tlic Moiuuouth passes had the Eureka men guessing, and a large numljer of them were completed. Taylor and Molesworth did some pretty broken field running in this game. One touchdown was made by Taylor around left end. The other was scored by Molesworth by a thirty yard run off right tackle. Molie found liiiuself as a defensive player in the Eureka game and made some neat tackles. Illinois College was beaten to make the Monmouth hoinecoming a success. X ' ery few passes were used. Tlie Monmouth line was at its best ami opened liig holes for the backs to go through. The final score was 19-0. The reserves got to play in the last few minutes of the game. Northwestern was given a good lieating on the Monmoulli field. The Red and White niacliine made a slow start but the passes functioned and the game ended 25-0 for the home team. Early in the game the visitors connected with a shoe-string which was good for si.xty yards and almost scored, but M. C. ' s .gridsters tightened their defense and i)re- vented the Dutchmen from crossing their goal. The reserves got to play for a few minutes. Macomb, as usual, furnished a hard fight. Monmouth scored two touclidowr.s by a inixed running and passing attack, and then Macomb scored on a long pass. With only a few minutes left to play, Taylor made a safety in order to keep the ball and prevent another lucky pass from beating us. Macomb couldn ' t understand the safety and some of their team wanted to kick goal after it. Monmouth won the game 13-9. The first Mon- mouth touchdown came on a running pla_ . The second was scored by Spears who caught a long pass thrown liy Taylor. Lake Forest scared the Monmouth gridsters by scoring first, but then the Red and White warriors spoiled Dad ' s Day for the Lake Forest folks by crossing their goal line three times, which made the final standing 20-7, The half ended 7-6 for Lake Forest. The North Shore boys had a powerful line plunging attack but their passes were not equal to those of Monmouth, Molesworth interce]ited a Lake Forest pass and ran for a touchdown on it. Our third touchdown was made by line jilays. The Lake Forest game finished a series of five straight wins for the Red and White gridiron men, and marked them as one of the leading teams of the state. Knox beat us, but the Knox players knew that they had been in a football game when they dra,gged themselves off the new Monmouth Field. It was the best football team Knox has ever had that won that Thanksgiving day game, and the best team in the history of the Siwash school had to play the best brand of football they had in them to keep their 1000 per cent conference standing. Twice Knox carried the ball down the field to lose it at tb.e Monmouth goal line. The third time they put it across but failed to kick goal for PaEe .Sixty-four iIk- extra point.

Had the game lasted a minute longer it is probable that the Red and White would have scored again, for Knox was no more able to stop the Monmouth passes than was Monmouth able to stop the Knox nuuiing attack. Doty and the two Wells brotliers are the only members of the team whu ,ire lost by graduation. There is promise of a wealtli of material for Coach Hart to work with next fall and it is probable that the team will be able to ]uit up an even better record in W2S.

In three seasons lie placed Monmouth in tlie position she now enjoys, that of being one of tlie most successful colleges in football competition in the state. When the football sweaters were awarded in Chapel, a regulation size, silver football was presented to our retiring coach. It was given by the members of the football squad and the coaches associated with Glenn Smith in training the 1924 team, as a token of their friendship for him.

Init the Monmouth organization was of championship cahbre. Seven wins and two losses is the enviable conference record of this team, and it must be remembered that the very best baseljall teams are not expected to win all their games. Lake Forest and Knox had the honor of winning from Monmouth, but they also were forced to take defeats from the same team, for Lake Forest was beaten 16-4, and Knox was humbled 7-6 in a thrilling game whicli (nizak finished by catching a difficult fly with Knox runners on the bases. Other conference teams were Ijeaten by large scores. The regular lineup of the team found Chuck Hamilton on the mound and Wesley Dickson behind the bat. Chuck rates as one of the best pitchers in the state and won his games consistently. The two defeats chalked up against him were due to batting slumps on the part of his team mates. Dickson is a reliable catcher who knows all the tricks of his position. He stands among the top-notchers in the Little-Nineteen. In the infield were John Graham at first base. Bob Hamilton at short, and Lake Douglass at third, each of them a stellar performer. On second base Taylor, Pickens and Russell Graham all saw service and all did well. Taylor also was used on the mound and showed considerable ability as a pitcher. Guzak and Livingston were the stars of the outfield. Both men are natural ball players and each made sensational catches on more than one occasion. Because of his speed, Guzak covers the center field territory and then some. The same quality makes him a hard man to put out when running bases. Guzak also pitched when called on for that line of work. McBride. Doty, and Rus Graliam shared the right field lM, ili,,n. Captain Bob Hamilton led his team mates in liatting. He collected twenty hits out of fifty times at liat for a pe rcentage of .400. John Graham was a close second with a standing of ..580. John ' s liits were often long ones. He seems to have a special likin.g for three baggers. Dickson and Chuck Hamilton were also above the average in batting. This fine baseball record finished the careers of Bob Hamilton and Wesley Dickson in college baseball. Both men have been valuable to Monmouth baseball teams for several years, and their graduation leaves two large gaps in the lineup for the 1925 season.

For the first time in years the team humbled Knox in a dual meet. Al- though it had its ups and downs, the 1924 track team was the liest the present generation of students has seen in action on the local field. Pre-season do|)e showed that the team would be strong in the track events. It was hoped that the new men on the squad would l)e able to overcome the weakness of the 1923 team — its inability to hold its own in the field events. It turned out that the field event men were much stronger than those of the preceeding season and were able to make the team into a well balanced scoring machine, although the outstanding stars were still in the track {leiiartmcnt. Three new records were ofiicially estaljlislied for tlie Monmouth field. Roy Mann broke his own record in the javelin throw by sending that ancient weapon through the air 158 feet and 8 inches in the Augustana meet. George Van Gundy set a new mark in tlie l)road jump wlien lie took a horizontal bounce of 22 feet and Ys of an inch in the Knox meet. In tlie same contest Charlie Niblock lowered the quarter mile record set by his brother Freddie, and left the Siwash runners fifteen yards behind in 51 1-5 seconds. The pole vault record was unofficially broken in the Knox meet when Welch cleared the bar at 11 feet 6 inches, but he was unable to beat the star vaulter from the Galesburg college and second place is not allowed to stand as a record. It is interesting to note in connec- tion with college records that Al Work ran the mile in 4 minutes and 30 seconds for third ])lace in tlie Midwest Meet at Beloit. This is se eral seconds lietter tlian the college record. The two mile relay team started the season in an auspicious manner. Congdon, Nib- lock, Cline and Work took second place in tlie Indoor Relays at Illinois University. At Drake, Congdon, Xiblock, Cline and Holt won the event in the remarkable time of 8 min- utes 1(1 3-10 seconds. This stands as a new Drake record, having shaved a fraction of a second frnni the time set 1)y the .Monnioutli team of the previous season. The regular track season opened with ,i dual meet with Augustana, held on the local field on May 3. The Red ami White athletes had little trouble in running up a score of 107-19. Augie took first in the 220 yard dash and in the quarter mile in which Niblock did not run. . t Illinois C(illege on the following Saturday, the score went against the Monmouth cinder performers. SoTue members of the team seemed to be off form and hard luck hit others in their events. Charlie Niblock won the 440 by fifteen yards but was disqualified on a very doubtful decision. Roy Mann had trouble with the low hurdles because of the sharply curving track. However, there is no denying that Illinois College presented a fine team which would be hard for any college to beat in a dual meet. In the state meet the local tracksters had the satisfaction of evening up for the loss of the dual meet when they succeeded in running up a larger score than the Illinois lioys. Seldom does a track meet give the crowd the thrill that comes from other closely con- tested sports, but on May 17, Knox was handed a defeat in a meet that was really thrilling. The last event of the meet was the javelin throw, Knox was leading by three points when all the other events had been run off. Early in the meet by their superiority in the • dashes and in some of the field events, the Siwash spiked shoe men had run up a lead of seventeen points, and they appeared to have the meet safely in their possession. But Cong- don and Work finished one two in the mile after Work had passed Neville, the Kno.x star, Page Seventy- four 1926 Si in an c-xcitiny finish. They repeated their performance in the two mile. In tlie hrcjad jump ' an (jundy Ijroke the record for a win. The high jnmp was the next tu tlie hist e ent. and liere Satan Smith surprised the crowd by jumpinR 5 feet 9 inches to tie for first place with his team mate Sabien. If we could take first and second in the javelin we could win tlie meet. Mann. Douglass and Molesworth lid uKire than was necessary and took all three places in that event, and the meet went to the local team liy the close score of 68-(.,v The stale meet is not so sweet a memory. Local fans liad reason to believe that their team would win the meet, but liard luck seemed to hit us from every side and the refl and white took only fourth place in a meet that was won by Knox, the team which they defeated the previous week. Hovvexer. fourth ])lacc in a conference of twenty-three col- leges is not at all a poor record. To the Midwest Conference meet which was held at Beloit. Coach Johnson took a team consisting of Captain Niblock, Congdon, Work, Sands, Mann, Welch, and Sabien. These men had the satisfaction of nosing out Knox for fifth place in the meet. First place was won by Ripon. Congdon won the half mile and the privilege of running in the Olympic tryouts at Boston. Mann with eight points was the high scorer for the team in this meet. Letters were awarded to Cline, Congdon, Davis, Douglass, Holt, Sands, Mann, .Moles- worth, Sabien, F. Smith, ' an (jundv, Welch, and Work. Relay Team 1925 The I wo mile relay team of 1925 did not enjoy the success which had marked the winning team of the two previous years. The jinx seemed to trail the relay men from the beginning of the season to the end. Perhaps it might be well to add that the fast competition run up against this year had something to do with making the record of the 192.S team less imposing than records hung up in I92,i and 1924. . t the Illinois I ela. s the Monmouth two mile team |ilaced f.iurth. ])ut was second in its heat and close upon the heels of the winners. This jierformancc was very encour- aging because a new record was set and all four of the leading teams made better time than the old record. Previous Monmouth teams have placed higher at Drake than at Illinois and there was every reason to beliexe that the 192.S team would rejieat the per- formance of its predecessors. The men who ran at Illinois are Congdon, Hi lt, (iraham. and McAllister. When the time for the Drake meet came around, (ieorge Graham was suffering from a broken arch and was unalile to run. McAllister had an injured hand which seemed to cut down his speed. These two runners were replaced by Work and Purlec ami the team seeiTied as strong as ever. The real hard luck of the season came in the Drake race. Work was the first runner and was running in good form within a few yards of the leader when the man behind him spiked him in the heel and tore off his right shoe. Work was forced to run the last 400 yards of his section with only one shoe and a bleeding heel, but he managed to turn in 2:07 nevertheless. However, this put the Monmouth runners so far behind that they were unable to luake up the distance to place in the race. The Haskell Indians set a new Drake record in the college two mile relax at 8:04.4 clipping six seconds from the previous record held by .Monmouth.

Tlie haskethall season was previous season. The team, ii Midwest, and had a percentat e Ten of tlie nineteen games were won. Four of the nineteen were practice games and did not count in the conference standings. Of the conference games, two were won from Knox, two from Carthage, and a single game from Northwestern College. The team split even with Coe, Cornell, and Wesleyan. That the team would he a real contender for honors was evident from the first regular games played, when it lost to the strong Coe team by only one point, and then gave Cornell a decisive beating the ne.xt evening. The team included both successes and failures as the schedule and scores below will show. It ended with a neat victory over Carthage. One of the features of the season was tlie opening of the new .yymn. It could not have been dedicated in a more thrilling or auspicious manner. The Coe team was the lamb which was sacrificed to make the festivities enjoyable to the fullest extent. But the Coe men were fighting like tigers to spoil the record of our new gymn from the very start and nearly suc ceeded. For most of the game they kept a lead of about two points but the score was tied at several times in the game. The incident which will be longest re- membered, and which brought the crowd up to its greatest enthusiasm, was when Satan Smith sprinted from his back guard position to the middle of the floor to tear the ball from the arms of a Coe player who was receiving a long pass, and then dribbled down the rest of tlie court and scored a l askct. It was Fielding ' s only goal of the year, but it was worth more than a dozen of the usual kind. The regular playing time ended with the score tied 24-24. In the extra period Coe sank the first liasket, but Monmouth followed with two. Smile} ' finished the scoring with a free throw after the final gun. The regular line-up of 1924-1925 was Molesworth and Taylor forwards. Spears center. Smiley and Smith guards. Jones and Saville also played enough to win letters. Hamilton. JilcLoskev, R. Graham, and Sands were used in a number of .games.

This was Smiley ' s last year of college has His place will be hard to fill next year. FIELDING SMITH Many of the sports writers of Illinois rated Satan as one of the best standing guards in tlie conference. He is especially handy at breaking up the passes of the opposing teams before their men get their hands on the ball. His playing in the Coe game will he long remembered by all who saw that memoralilc contest. He has played his last college basketball. EDGAR SAVILLE Ed is a very steady and consistent standing guard. .Seldom did opposing teams have a chance to make a shot from underneath the basket when .Sa ille was in the game. Ed knows athletics from . to Z. He is another Senior. DELBERT SPEARS Delbert was the regular center. His height usually gave him the . ' idvantage in getting the tip-off. He has a queer way of making baskets when you think he is going to miss. He is only a Sopliomore, but was elected to captain the team of next year. KEITH MOLESWORTH Molie was high ])oint man next to Smiley. As well as being a leading scorer, he is strong at guarding, being a wonder at breaking up a drilibling game by snatching the ball from opponents wliile at full speed. He filled Smiley ' s place very capably in the Carthage game, and will probably be called on to do it regularly next season. WARREN TAYLOR Taylor and Molesworth were the sensational passing combination of the footliall season and we find them in combination again on the basketball floor.

They were up against the stiffest competition in tile state. Conrey has been Illinois intercollegiate tennis champion for several years, and the Augus- tana doubles team, composed of Conrey and Mahoney, ranks second in the state. Against these stars the representatives of the Red and White made a very creditable showing. Lukens and Lietman are on hand for the 192.S tennis season, and there is a promise of a better record for this vear. Girl ' s Tennis 1924 Cornelia Settle. Jean Rife, and Ruth Finley were the members of the girls ' tennis team for 1924. The only intercollegiate match in which they were engaged was with Knox on the courts of ihe Galesburg college on May 13, which seemed to be an unlucky date for the representatives of the Red and White, In the singles Miss Settle lost a very closely contested match by the score of 6-4, 5-7, (i-4. The Monmouth girls were also defeated in the doubles. Hard luck remained with the girls throughout the season. One of tliem sprained an ankle and another suffered from a burned hand during the tennis season and these injuries caused some matches to be called off.

Walter Congdon won all the runs from the quarter mile to the two mile for a total of twenty points. He was the high point man of the meet.

It will continue to lie especially strong in the distance events. The time of the low hurdles and quarter mile in the intcrclass meet indicates that fewer points will be scored this year in those events than was scored last xear. . n individual, all round championship contest was held in connection with the intcr- class meet.

The question debated was, Resolved: That Congress be empowered to override by a two-thirds vote decisions of the Supreme Court in declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. This proposition was affirmed by a veteran team composed of Del Bowker, John C. Allen, Jr. and Marshall Briley. These men lost their first debate to Augustana in the Augustana-North- western-Mcnmouth triangle. But they came back with a stronger case and won over Lombard in the Lombard-Bradley- Monmouth triangle. They ended their season with a victory over Coe. AFFIRMATIVE RECORD Monmouth 1 Augustana 2 Monmouth 2 Lom.bard Monmouth Coe Page One Hundred Fourteen 4 i 4l l V Mens ' Negative Debate Team The negative team was composed of three men new in inter-collegiate work, Roy Doty, Edson Smith and John McConnell. They defeated Northwestern in their first contest, thus giving Monmouth second in the Augustana-Northwestern- Monmouth triangle. They were also successful in defeating Bradley in the Lom- bard-Bradley-Monmouth triangle, which Monmouth won. The season was closed with a dual debate with Huron College of Huron, S. D., which was lost. The work of the Men ' s debate teams has upheld Monmouth ' s forensic record very well and with four of the six varsity men back in college next year things look bright for continued success. Monmouth . Northwestern Monmouth . NEGATIVE RECORD 2 Bradley 1 I Monmouth 1 2 Huron 2 Pave One Hundred Fifteen Girls ' Affirmative Debate Team The question debated by the girls ' teams this year was the Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: That the Japanese exclusion bill should be repealed. Three triangular debates were arranged for the girls ' teams. The first was with Lombard and Eureka. Monmouth ' s negative team, captained by Margaret ebster, with Marjorie Root and Mary Lois Mahaffey as her colleagues, went to Lombard and were defeated by Lombard ' s affirmative in a close contest. Eureka ' s negative also won a tight decision on the Monmouth platform, debating against the Red and White affirmative team, composed of Jean Liedman, captain, Martha Anderson and Janet Work. In the next triangle, Monmouth ' s affirmative team, Jean Liedman, Martha Anderson and Grace Lendgren, went to Peoria and defeated Bradley ' s neg- ative, while the home negative team, Elizabeth Farrell, Marjorie Root and Mary Lois Mahaffey won the decision over the Macomb Normal team. Page Gnu Hundred Sixteen . Girls ' Negative Debate Team The last contest, in which both home teams travelled, was v ith Northwestern and Augustana. On the night of the contest it was discovered that through a mis- understanding two negative teams had met at one place and two affirmatives at another. After a hasty switching about of teams, and a rearranging of schedules the debate proceeded. Monmouth ' s negative and Augustana ' s affirmative had met successfully at Northwestern, and Monmouth ' s much-changed team, this time made up of Mar- garet Webster, Marjorie Root and Elizabeth Farrell, won the decision. Northwestern defeated her two opponents, Monmouth ' s affirmative at Augus- tana, and Augustana ' s negative at Monmouth, and thus won the triangle. The season on the whole was successful, in the winning of several debates, in the thorough and conscientious work done by the debaters, and in the development of new debate material which will be useful next year. m¥W WP PPPW¥¥W¥ ' W ¥ ' W¥WWP¥WW P¥ ' ¥¥ ' m One Huniliid So aS ' The Forensic Board The Forensic Board of Monmouth College is composed of a President, elected by the student body, and a representative from each of the four literary societies of the college.

The production was one of the Portmanteau plays of Stuart Walker, The Lady of the Weeping Willow Tree. The settings of the fantasy were Japanese, and the costummg and lighting effects lent it unusual charm. The victory of a perfect faith over the world ' s despairing doubt forms the theme of the play. The Lady of the Weeping Willow 1 ree was directed by Miss Ruth Wil- liams of the College faculty, and produced by a staff chosen from the Junior Class. The play cast was as follows: Memory (1 he Prologue) Edith Lorimer O-Sode San, neighbor of O-Baa San Marian Templeton O-Katsu San, a friend Marjorie Root O-Baa San, an old woman Anna Allison The Gaki of Kokoru, an evil spirit Alvin Wilson Aoyagi, lady of the weeping willow tree . . .

' ffl PaKe One Hundred Sixty-two PECULIAR FORMS OF VIBRATION Webster gives this definition of vibration, Act of vibrating, or state of being vibrated, or in a vibrating motion; quick motion to and fro; oscillation; to quiver. This is one of two kinds of vibration and only M. C. students know the second one. RAVELINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA GoLf — A game which consists in striking a small, resilient ball with clubs having heads, into a series of holes situated at varying distances with artificial ob- stacles interposed. The object is to put the ball into each hole in as few strokes as possible. The blows counted are often reduced to a mmimum by artful play- ers through some such artifice as kicking the ball out of traps, or otherwise improv- ing a bad lie, forgetting strokes taken but not seen by other players, and bribing the caddy to do the counting for the golfer. Addiction to golf is considered adequate grounds for divorce in some of the more advanced States. Professor of Chemistry — The air in its natural state contains oxygen, nitro- gen, aqueous vapor, argon and carbon dioxide, also traces of hydrogen, krypton, neon, xenon and helium. Fair Co-ed — No wonder the poor can ' t afford it. A FABLE Once upon a time there was a man who never left his student activities ticket in his other coat. Why is Myrtle weeping on John ' s shoulder?

PRIZE SHORT STORY The ant was standing by the body of the dead horse. Overhead the sun was beating pitilessly down from a clear sky. The ant looked at the carcass won- deringly and shook his head. Suddenly a bootlegger rushed past and set a bottle of corn whisky down near the ant. The ant sniffed the fumes, wiggled his antennae, and hummed a little ditty entitled: How Dry I Am. Then he drank a drop of the whiskey. He licked his chops. His eyes blurred, his head swam, his antics became spiffy. He shivered his antennae. Then he took another drink. Seizing the carcass of the dead horse by the head the ant shouted, Come on. big boy, we ' re goin ' home.

PRACTICAL USES FOR TEXTBOOKS A text-book placed under one leg of a lopsided table, will exert a marvelously stabilizing influence on that piece of furniture. Also one will be pleasantly sur- prised at the results obtained by using the book as a necktie press. Obviously, the larger and more expensive the text-book, the better results will be obtained. History books will be found most excellent. Other suggested uses are : 1 . Throw it at a freshman when a paddle is not within reach. 2. Send it home for your young brother to sit on while practicing at the piano. 3. Carry your mail in it when it rains. 4. Realize on the original outlay. Sell it at a book store, and have a good week-end date. 5. Lastly, the book is inevitably worn in disguising oneself as a college man.

The Campus, so deserted all summer, now throngs with dignified Seniors, sophisticated Juniors, peppy Sophs and dear green little Freshies, yes we ' re over 410 strong. In the evening we get acquainted on the annual walk-out. The Fresh boys, already being initiated into the labors of underclassmen, build a grand bonfire. 1 3. This proves an unlucky day for the Phi Sigs when their house decides to produce a little excitement by starting to burn. Some little damage is done but the boys find plenty of homes opened to them during repairs. 14. The football boys are out, and a fine looking lot they are, too. 16. Rules for the wearing of the green , otherwise known as the fresh- man cap, are out and we shall soon be seeing a peculiar species of fall blossom. 17. Honor Roll posted for last semester, ah me! How inspirational one must find it to see one ' s name upon it! 18. There is a strange difference in the appearance of the Campus; at last we discover the pole has disappeared from its accustomed place and at once the Sophs call a meeting, as a result the Freshies erect another pole.

University City, in which the school is situated, is one of the most beautiful parts of the West End, free from congestion of population and largely free from fog and smoke. There are excellent library facilities, pic- ture galleries, large parks, and many golf and tennis grounds, in the vicinity. Washington University, which can be reached in ten min- utes, offers advanced courses to those who wish to take them, and exchange credits with the Seminary. The curriculum includes the usual studies preparatory to the gospel ministry, with electives leading to the degree of Bachelor of Theology. Students from all evangelical churches are received on equal terms. Tuition and rooms in the dormitory are free. Meals are provided by the students themselves on the club plan, at a mini- mum of expense; and the social life thus fostered is very delightful. The opening for the First Semester, 1925-1926, will be Sep- tember 23, 1925. Graduate School, two Seminar periods, Tuesdays at 1 :30 o ' clock. Candidates for degrees should have Bachelor of Arts de- gree including Greek, and diploma from a Theological Seminary in- cluding Hebrew.
