The College Annual is now a well established institution and no question exists but that it will remain so. New, indeed, it is in our college, but if our work this year will contribute in any way as an incentive, to those who come after us, to keep up this yearly publication, we are well assured that your dollars and our time have not been spent in vain. We have labored under difficulties, but yet, the enthusiastic support given us by the students and faculty of the college has made us able to surmount the things which beset us and make the Annual a possibility. Especially is much credit due to the business men of Bozeman who have so liberally aided us with advertisements. Here we must pause and ask each and every reader of the Annual to look over our advertising columns and in making your purchases please patronize those who have patronized us, and in proportion as they have given us their support. With these few words we now consign our Annual to its fate and, to use the tattered lingo of the preface writer, if we have done anything to merit your appreciation, or have made it any easier for those who will follow in our footsteps, our labors and troubles have not been in vain.

S. Congress giving to land grant colleges $15,000 for that year and $1,000 in addition each year until the amount reached $25,000. The year ended June 30th, so in ord.r to secure the $18,000 of that year work was commenced in March. The formal opening of the College took place in the fall of the same year. For three months of the first year there were onlv two teachers: Luther Foster, acting president, and H. G. Phelps, principal of the business department. The students numbered fourteen, all boys, and were divided equally between the business and agricultural courses. The classes were held in the vacant rooms of the High School building, now the Irving ward school. n, In June, 1893, a regular faculty was elected and work began in September in the old Academy building on W est Main street, where the new Catholic church is now being built. There were seven members of the first faculty. In the second year James Reid was chosen president and the faculty increased to thirteen. That year the Domestic Science course was cataloged as the '‘Ladies Course,” and several girls enrolled, altho’ the gentlemen professors did all the teaching. There was scarcely any laboratory room, so most of the work was theoretical. The year was divided into three terms: Fall, Winter and Spring, instead of the two semesters as now, and three final examinations were given each year. The school soon outgrew the limited quarters of the Academy building, so a vacant store building in the Ferris block, on Main st reet, was rented. This was the first home of the Domestic Science Department. Soon after the second floor in the building owned bv the Henderson Lumber company was used for class work in addition to every vacant room in the High School building. Still room was at a premium and any student or teacher who chanced to have a vacant period had to go home or stand outside. Often two or three recitations were going on at the same time in one room. During 1896 and 1897 many changes took place. The courses were all revised, the Engineering Department started, and in June, 1897, the first graduating class was given degrees and diplomas. There were four graduates, as follows: Florence Foster, B. S., sn Domestic Science; Oliver Morgan, B. S. in Agriculture; Lucy Stafford, B. S. in Domestic Science; and William Shaw, B. S. in Applied Science. At this time the new buildings on the hill were also begun, the corner stone of the main building being laid October 21, 1896. 'Flic laying of the corner stone was in charge of the Masonic lodge and Judge E. C. Day acted as speaker for the occasion. With the new buildings there was sufficient room to accomodate all the students and a course in Electrical Engineering was begun. College work in the new buildings started March, 1898. Nearly all the present buildings were completed at this time. In 1899 the course in Biology was introduced, and in 1900 came Civil Engineering. In 1902 the courses were all changed, being put into groups under the head of general science, except the work in Agriculture and Engineering. In the fall of 1904 President Reid resigned and Prof. Hamilton, of the State University at Missoula, was chosen to fill the vacancy. Old College Building 13- Our Presidents 14. €x=President James Reid President James Reid conducted the affairs of the Montana Agricultural College from October, 1894 to 1904, and almost ad who have been connected as teachers with the College have served under him. The College as we know it to-day is largely the work of his hands. As long as he remained here, he was also the leader of the educational forces of the state. He is not likely, therefore, to be soon forgotten in Montana. Mr. Reid was born in 1849 and found his vocation comparatively late in life. The period of his higher education began, after several years of work upon his father’s farm, and as teacher in rural schools, with attendance upon Union Theological Seminary in New York, in 1875, ar d included attendance later at Toronto University and at McGill, where he took his bachelor's degree in 1881. Later he went abroad and studied theology in several of the Scotch universities, and was once more at Union Seminary in 1889. The only church pastorate of which we find mention before his coming to Montana was at Bay City, Michigan. Mr. Reid came to Montana in 1889 to become pastor of the 15- Fresbyterian church at Deer Lodge, and in the following year was elected to the presidency of the College of Montana at Deer Lodge. This position he held for four years with distinction, helping raise the money to pay for the buildings and equipment, and donating much of his salary meanwhile. lie became at once an educational leader; was a member of the first State Board of Education, president of the Educational Council, and President of the State Teach ers’ association. As a platform lecturer he was in great demand all over the state and became well known as a public man. In 1894 he was called to the presidency of the recently established Agricultural College, and accepted. He found the College in rented quarters with no buildings as yet of its own, but with some work organized in engineering, agriculture and commercial branches. The catalogue published soon after his arrival shows one hundred and thirty-nine students enrolled, and an active faculty of about a dozen members. Following a number of changes in the faculty in 1896, there was a considerable re-organization of the work, but since that time it has gone steadily forward. The college as Mr. Reid left it is within the recollection of the present generation of students and faculty. Soon after leaving Deer Lodge Mr. Reid was honored by the College of Montana with the degree of D. D., but though he was often spoken of as Dr. Reid, he himself preferred not to use the title.Shortly after Dr. Reid’s resignation of the presidency of the College, he was married and has since made his home in Montreal, where he is engaged in business. Those who knew Dr. Reid as president of the College remember him as a man of broad sympathies and a wide range of active interests; an inspiring leader of young people in their years of struggle and aspiration; a man of high ideals, both of culture and efficiency. As an educator and administrator he believed in men rather than machinery; insisted rather on results than on methods; and though he could be faithful and painstaking in trifling details (I have known him to spend a whole Saturday with hammer, saw and yardstick putting up blackboards), yet in general he found the routine business of administration irksome and wearing. In broad questions of policy he was always interested and was a shrewd and wise counsellor. His influence thus exerted on the educational ideals of the state will be long remembered. id President James IH. Hamilton President James M. Hamilton began his work at the Montana Agricultural College in the fall of 1904. being then forty-three years of age. His career as an educator and public man has been almost altogether in Montana. He came to the state in 1889. to ta 'e c iar e of the public schools of Missoula. Like Dr. Reid he was a member of the first State Board of Education, and from the beginning was one of its most efficient and influential members. He continued in office until he resigned the superintendency of the schools of Missoula and became Professor of Psychology and vice-president in the State University of Montana in 1901. Meanwhile he had been gaining steadily in reputation, both as a school superintendent and as an educator in the wider field afforded by the State Board. It was in his acquaintance with the men who were guiding the affairs of the state in that Board, that he demonstrated the qualities that later led to his promotion. In the faculty and executive board of this College he was regarded as pre-eminently the one man in the State I7' Board whose steady friendship, wise counsel, and intelligent appreciation were most prized. No doubt it was much the same feeling in Missoula that led to his promotion to the vice-presidency there. During his period of service in the University he was thought of as one of the best friends the Agricultural College had in the state. Any sketch of President Hamilton's career in the state would be incomplete that did not mention his work in teachers' institutes, which has taken him into nearly every part of the state, and, with his easy social qualities, has given him the widest personal acquaintance enjoyed by any man with the teachers of Montana. President Hamilton is a great believer in young people, and especially in young people who have to work their own way; for his own college education was made possible only by working as janitor, student assistant, and country school teacher while he was taking his college course. He holds the degree of M. S. from Union Christian College; and during his school superintendency he studied in the summer school of Clark University. With the preparation and experience that has been described, President Hamilton is now a: the beginning of what promises to be a long and successful term of office. At the time when President Hamilton first came to Bozeman to take up the work that Dr. Reid was laying down, it was remarked by one of the best and most useful friends that the College has ever had, that the pioneer days were over. Anyone who has talked with Mr. Hamilton about his plans and aims for the college as he is now beginning to realize them, knows that he is working for a development and extension of its work and resources that will make these days, too, look like pioneer days a few years hence. 18 Cbe faculty TQ.

A recent visit to Bozeman, made after an absence of ten years, brings to my mind many of the details of the beginning of technical education in Montana, some of which may be of interest to the readers of this Annual. In the fall of the year 1887 we started the School of Mines at the College of Montana, located at Deer Lodge. This institution was supported by donations, tuitions and an annual appropriation from the Presbyterian Board of Aid. Prior to the year 1887 this institution maintained a preparatory course, a classical course, and a department of music. A number of the young men taking these courses were desirous and qualified to enter the freshman year of the School of Mines. The institution was somewhat handicapped by lack of equipment, but, nevertheless, we maintained a high grade engineering and mining course, and that the course was justified is shown by the splendid records of the graduates. Soon, however, the com- 35- petition of the state institutions resulted in the closing of the College of Montana. The writer was then appointed the first president of the Agricultural College at Bozeman, in the spring of 1893. At about the same time Professors Foster, Emory, Maiden and Phelps were also appointed. My impression now is that Professors Foster, Maiden and Phelps conducted some temporary classes during part of the spring and summer in one of the town school buildings, their object being to secure, by making some kind of a showing, an appropriation which might otherwise be lost to the state. A permanent organization was effected. I believe, in July, and the appointment of the balance of the faculty and the enrollment of students rapidly followed. The old skating rink, recently destroyed, was divided into classrooms and laboratories. The balance of the instruction was carried on in the High School building, which, fortunately for the College, had been but recently completed, and at that time was much larger than was required fur public school work. The first building to be erected by the College authorities was the present Experiment Station building, an appropriation of $5,000 being made for that purpose. The basement of this building was used for machine and carpenter shop work, the first and second floors for Experiment Station work, and the third floor for a veterinary dissecting room. In the early part of 1896 plans were prepared by Architect Paulsen and the writer for all the present college buildings, and the erection was begun the same year. I believe that Mrs. Marshall and Miss Cantwell are the only instructors now connected with the institution who were members of the first faculty. I recall attending several meetings of the Arena debating society and am informed that this society is still a flourishing function of the College organization. Much enthusiasm was shown at these meetings and a very active part was taken by Mr. Thos. McKee, now making use of his early training as a successful and rising: voting lawver in New York citv. O J CD I might say in closing that I was particularly impressed by the showing made by the Engineer's Society at the meeting which I had the pleasure of addressing. I doubt very much if there are many institutions in the country which can show as ci editable representation. 36. Jflutnni ct fllumnaj If it be true that the alumni and alumnae of a college stand for what that college is or has been, the Montana Agricultural College need not be ashamed of the fruits of her endeavors. If colleges which are fairly comparable with ours in age and numbers of students have the attainments of their alumni compare with those of M. A. C., the latter will in no way suffer by the comparison. The writer has spent some time in investigation and is assured that the above statement is not an idle guess. Altho it has only been ten years since the first graduating class was ushered into the world from the halls of tire Montana Agricultural College, there are already members of its alumni occupying important positions on the borders of each of the oceans, two of these being on the staff of the California Experiment Station and one a member of the faculty of Columbia University in New York.

Where floods have spent their ruthless energies. Look deeper through the misty shadow haze. See what tremendous action rules the world; How torrents carve out fretted water ways, While massive granite boulders, downward hurled, Are tossed and broken in the tortuous maze, Until as silt, by gentler waters swirled, The mountain to the valley tribute pays. What power of youth these mountains typify! How soon is wrought by rain and frost and sun The change from crude and harsh sterility. How swiftly mighty chaos here is won To ordered grace and fair fertility! Great deeds, such as in older hands are done, In this new land are doing rapidly. So we, who love and work for M. A. C.

To record the deeds of daring and courage, to tell of all our victories, to relate all of our mighty works, is such a tremendous task that we fear the English language will prove far inadequate for the occasion. September, 1904, is a memorable time in the history of our College, for it marks the advent of the mighty class of 1908, a class of over thirty members. In time, some grew weary of the strife, but others joined 11s later, so our numbers remained about the same. In honor of ourselves we chose our colors, green and greener, with our own delicate hue to complete the trio. At first they were a joke, but now they form a part of our very lives and even the name o O’green has been heard instead of ’08. Our freshmen year passed on with numerous parties, class scraps, carpet acts, and other jollifications until the time for the great event of the season, the inter-class track meet. And where were the ’08’s? On top, of course, for we took the whole business. The commencement of our sophomore year predicted yet more illustrious victories, but football and the faculty decreed otherwise, so the loyal 'oS's sadly saw their numbers decrease. In spite of our troubles, however, a goodly number hung together. Class enthusiasm was somewhat rekindled when our debating team won the Freshman-Sophomore debate, again proving 08 supremacy. The history of our sophomore year would not be complete without at least a mention of the offering of fifty dollars to the “most gentlemanly boy” in the class. The girls were entirely overlooked, but of course they helped the boys to be good in every way possible. From then on, behold! not one 08 boy entered a class scrap, not one could be seen without the whitest linen, the shiniest boots, and the smoothest hair. Those days of freshman greenness and sophomore troubles have sunk deep into the past and we stand now as the illustrious class of 1908,—the all glorious Juniors. Our last re-union was saddened by the absence of one of our loyal ones, Hiram Cook, who was suddenly taken away during last summer’s vacation. Our experience, our wisdom, our power, have this year been given to two mighty projects—a strawride and an Annual. If we make this, the first M. A. C. Annual, all that we have worked and hoped for it to be, perhaps we shall leave with our Alma Mater some memory in the place of the many fond ones we will take out into life with us. 50- Can Vou Guess?

YELL: Sauer Kraut, wienurwursts, Old pork rinds. Any old thing For the naughty naught nines. To the college on the hill top. In the valley of the Gallatin. Came a class of verdant freshmen, In the year of nineteen naught five. 1 arge in number were the freshmen; Yea. they formed the largest army That had prior to them entered In the college ot M. A. C. Not all the members are from Bozeman. But they come from all around us. From the cities o'er the mountains Where the “Shining big sea water Rushes on towards the ocean. They scon learned the modes of warfare That were used by other classmen. And elected ‘or their leaders Gladys King and l isle Henderson. Whitfield Spain and Howard Gillett. These were found profoundly able To conduct the various battles To be fought with daily lessons And sometimes with other classes. Green and golden were the colors, 53 That were chosen by the members. Then they held a mighty council That they might become acquainted; But some starving upper classmen Tried to break into the meeting And elope with the refreshments. But the freshmen fought them bravely, Till they wandered home in sorrow' And allowed the great assemblage To proceed with all their program And to eat their own refreshments. After this the class of '09 Worked together to a member; They selected from their number Those who were to represent them In debating, but they somehow Seemed to favor not the judges, And they were two times defeated. But they took defeat quite nobly, With the vow that from thenceforward They would fight so much the harder. So they went at once in training For the great athletic contest, That takes place between the classes. And that great day saw them ready With their colors all a streaming; From the start unto the finish Everything seemed green and golden, And the freshmen w'on the honor Of possessing the great class cup, Which is given as a token Of reward for skill and prowess. So it wfas the first year ended Of this mighty class of freshmen. And their hearts were filled with sadness As the time came for their parting, But they knew that in the autumn They would all once more assemble At the college on the hill top, Under colors green and golden. When the passing of the summer Brought the time of registration, When the class of nineteen naught nine Should be classified as sophomores. They came straggling to the college, With their number slightly lessened. While the class of entering freshmen Came in hordes unto the hill top, And expected by their “big men, 54- To strike terror to the sophomore, But the gold and green enchanters . Got them heated up with anger, Heated! yea almost to boiling, Then for fear they might boil over; Led them calmly to the hydrant, Jammed a hose beneath their collars And turned on the ice .cold water. After that the bluffing freshmen Took to college life more coldly. Then eleven sturdy warriors. Chose each class from out their numbers, To perform upon the gridiron. Having spent some weeks in practice, They'met upon the field of battle, Full of hopes and colors flying. But the nervy little sophomores, Cheered to victory by their maidens, Waded through the giant freshmen fn a way that seemed most terrible. And when both the halves were finished, Five to zero was the stack up. Then the ’09’s flushed with victory Had a quiet celebration. Next the time came for debating And this time ’09 was beaten, As they also were in basket ball Played that day against the freshmen, Since that time, with few exceptions, Peace has reigned among the classes. And we all have joined our forces To perpetuate the glory Of the greatest, grandest college In the whole state of Montana. ’Tis the old blue-gold M. A. C. ’Tis the college on the hill top.

The fifteenth of September will always be a memorable day in old M. A. C, for at that time the famous class of io was born. The infant grew rapidly and waxed strong in learning and noble deeds. A slight accident occurred to it a few days after its birth, when the nurse dropped it in some water and got its clothes wet, but this, instead of injuring it, gave it an inspiration to drop into more agreeable things. At a reception given soon after in its honor the ubiquitous child, however, strayed too far from its nurse and returned with a bloody nose, the result of a conflict with an older boy. This taught Ten a lesson, tho’. to never start a row before he was prepared, and a few weeks later he took the same fellow down and sat on him, to the great delight of his parents. From now on Ten gained courage and when the naughty Nine o o o boy, a few days later, tried to take off Ten’s colored bib the little fellow fought back, and, altho' breaking a finger, easily overcame the Nine boy and gained a complete victory. To such a child the breaking of a finger meant nothing and the next day he hurried to the play ground where he tussled with a big, overgrown kid, and, sad to relate, met his first and only defeat. Soon after, while enjoying himself, he was disturbed by a lot of ruffians who were jealous of his good fortune. His good nature revolted at this and he proceeded to make short work of the butt ins. One of Ten's favorite sports was playing with a large rubber ball and one afternoon he asked Nine to play with him. The playing of the Nine boy was so poor that Ten became disgusted and sent him home crying to his mamma. But Nine’s mamma had spunk, even if her boy didn’t, and she sent him back that night to 57- tell the Ten fellow how rude he was. But Fen was ready for him and, after a heated discussion, Nine ran home crying harder than ever. Little Ten had his greatest pleasure when a nice big Santa Claus came and gave him a lot of presents in Maxwell's hall. Candy and nuts were everywhere and 'Fen spent nearly all night celebrating. Nine was there but received his satisfaction in a dismal ga::e through the window. This is a short story of the life of Little Ten and if he lives and has no more accidents, when he is of age his parents can say that he is the biggest, brightest and best boy that ever blessed the home, dear old M. A. C. 58. Preparatory Department The Preparatory Department was organized at the time of the founding of tlie college and at first consisted of one year’s work, which was about the equivalent of the eighth grade. This was later extended to two years and is now three. Prof. B. F. Maiden was the first principal and held the position for three years. He was then succeeded by Miss Cantwell, who still remains at the head of the department. The first year was dropped, as it was considered too elementary, and a third added, so that the department is now on an equality with the accredited high schools of the state. In connection with the movement among high schools to make their courses cover a period of four years, the preparatory department will be brought up to the same standing, probably by the fall of 1908. The preparatory students have a decided advantage in taking much of their work under college teachers and respond to the stimulus by entering college courses as strong, enthusiastic workers. But yet, even as preps., they add their share to college spirit and loyalty. 59- Senior Preparatory. COLORS: YELLOW AND WHITE. OFFICERS: PRESIDENT—Willard Brown. VICE PRESIDENT—Leslie Boyle. SECY. AND TREAS.—Faye Widener. SERGEANT AT ARMS—William Bessette. You have surely heard of the far famed class of P’o . It seems that everyone has—yes, even the freshmen. Only two of our present number have climbed from the first year to a “heap big” third Prep., but Billy and Lontie are stickers. In our second year many oi our old members dropped out and new ones took their places. In September, 1906, people began to realize our true importance. This year many new students entered, and the first thing was an election of officers. In this the majority ruled, with the result that the new students got all the offices. But this was mild in comparison with our next class meeting, at which we chose our colors. Sea rose and old green divided honors with orange and black and it was a decided division. Finally the pipe of peace was passed around and, after all had taken a whiff of the Brown tranquillizer, yellow and white were taken as a compromise. A little later we got some caps, but, oh ! poor little pan cakes—no one ever wears them. We are so afraid they will get soiled. About this time a terrible blow struck our class—Hammond left school. But we survived that, and the next Friday evening held our first, last and only party. Even if the freshmen and second preps, did visit us, we had a good time. We are getting used to shocks by this time, for three of our class forgot to come back after Christmas, and who knows what may happen when exams, are over. Just now all is quiet and peaceful. Our girls still like the freshmen boys and we are all looking forward to that greenest of all green times, the freshman. 61. ■■■ Tirst and Second Preparatory In the fall of 1906 there came unto the hill of M. A. C. a mighty band of first and second preps., and in the days that came to pass they waxed strong and grew fat on the victuals of knowledge. And lo, and behold, before the year had ended they knew that which others knew not, for verily, they were a brilliant bunch. And they met with their brethren in many a lively contest, and, behold, they were always the victors, for they were strong of heart and powerful in well doing. And they took for their companions the girls who were in their midst, and they cherished them and matched with them the figures that were on their faces. And they played basket ball and went in unto the town of Belgrade and vanquished the hosts thereof. But now there is peace in their midst and in this time of tranquillity they prepare themselves to return unto the lands of their fathers and put themselves to the plow and the shovel. 63. Short Course Short course work in the college was begun in 1896, and the first work given was a Course in Agriculture, covering two years of two terms each. These began in October and ended in March. It was placed at this time so that those who were compelled to do work upon farms could take advantage of it, as at this time of the year farm work is comparatively light. At first the work was all elective so that those taking it could have the utmost freedom in planning their course. In 1897 there were five students registered for the work; 1898, seven; 1899, twelve; 1900, twenty-three; 1901, twenty-two; 1902, twenty-one. In 1903 a course in engineering was begun, which was also two years in length. For the two courses this year forty-eight students were registered. Since then the registration has steadily increased and this year there are fifty-four enrolled, with the majority in the agricultural class. The work in agriculture was extended this year so as to cover three years and is practically a high school course. Until this year the short course students maintained no class organization, but last fall they organized and elected the following officers for this year: Court Sheriff, president; Ernest Haynes, vice president; Rhoades Spain, secretary; William LeFcvre, treasurer; George Timmons, sergeant-at-arms. 65. Domestic Science Club The Domestic Science Club was organized in the fall of 1895, with Lois Hartman, Belle Osborn, Ruby King and Phoebe Morgan as active members; and the one-year course girls in Domestic Science as associate members. The object of the club is to maintain a unity for work and a management under which social functions may be given accasion-ally. Most of last year s work as a club consisted of two or three afternoon receptions. Our class work is of such a nature that it doesn't leave much time for play, but the hope of our club is that sufficient time may be given to entertainment and social functions, so that our work may appear as it really is—the noblest in the world. We believe that in a proper and scientific knowledge' of food principles and in a respect for the home, as a place where souls as well as bodies may be nurtured, lies a solution of the problem which puzzles men's minds. Surely the economics of the home are as important as the economics of states and the same amount of mental development may be secured from a study of the former as of the latter. It seems hardly necessary for us to speak of this important principle, for the world is recognizing it now and this recognition will result in greater good for us all. 66. 67. music Department The college music department was organized in 1893, with Miss Kate Calvin in charge. Its primitive home was one small room in the old Academy building, and one old square piano constituted the equipment for two years. Thirty pupils, all of elementary grade, were enrolled during the first year, and as soon as the pupils became sufficiently advanced an annual concert and public recitals were an important part of the w rk. On these occasions the pupils in piano were assisted by choruses and other musical organizations under the direction of Miss Calvin. The first of these was a male quartette, organized in 1893, which also furnished music for the Arena debating society. Later a string quartette, probably the only one that has ever existed in Bozeman, appeared. Some of the first annual concerts were mainly operettas and selections from opera, as Little Red Riding Hood, The Bohemian Girl, and The Hay Makers. The department also furnished music for all the commencement exercises. In 1900 Miss Calvin organized the Treble Cleff Club of sixteen members, which continued its work for several years. During the season of 1905-6, Mr. Albert Wright gave instruction in violin and in 1902 Miss Winifred Kinney gave vocal work. Her successor, Miss Josephine Cook, held the position three years and was succeeded by Miss Phyllis Wolfe. Miss Calvin managed the work in piano until 1900, when Miss Grace Stanton, one of the first students in the department, was appointed to assist her. Miss Mary Water served in the same capacity the following year, and then Miss Mildred Landon became the regular assistant and served two years. About this time Miss Calvin was given a leave of absence and Mrs. W. F. Brewer took charge of the work. Miss Calvin resigned in 1903 and at that time there were two regular assistants in the department and over ninety pupils. In 1904 Mr. Arthur Oliver took charge of the work, and during his second year was unassisted. In 1906 Miss Regina Barnes became his assistant. 68. Seniors Tn music Flora Hartrr.an.

Junior music Students 71- College mandolin Club The present College Mandolin Club is a new organization, having been organized in the fall of 1906, with Clyde C. Penwell as leader. It is made up as follows: Clyde C. Penwell, Will Throm, Charles Soper, Harold h'lager and Paul Stanton, mandolins; Jay Pease and Nicholas Wilson, guitars; and Eugene Quaw, pianist. They have given two dances during the year and played for numerous other events. All of them are old hands at the stringed business and have established for themselves this year a reputation as pickers that will live long after them. Several of them graduate from college this vear, but it is hoped others will be found to take their places so the organization may be continued in the future. 7i- first College 0lee Club The first College Glee Club was organized about the middle of the school year 1898-9, when Prof. Currier consented to take the leadership of the organization if sufficient acceptable voices could be found among the young men. Accordingly, a vocal examination was held in the assembly hall, at which some ten boys appeared. The following were the successful candidates: James Wood, Lee Williams, Irvin Cockrill, Will Simons, W. D. Provinse, Clifford Jeffers, Will Robinson and Wyatt Jones. The organization was completed and weekly rehearsals held at the home of the boys. At such tipie the neighbors were entertained by the strains of Annie Laurie, The Tar's Farewell, Simple Simon and Breezes of the Xight, selected from the Acme Quartette book. 'I'he personnel of the club was not a constant quantity and, owing to the lack of tenor voices, no public appearance was made until February 24, 1900. A selection was then given at a recital in the assembly hall and the effect was highly pleasing to the club members as well as their leader. Thereafter the club appeared frequently on the programs of college and city functions and became very popular. In 1900 the membership had increased to fourteen and the bQys planned to give a public concert in the spring. Miss Ruth Kellogg, elocutionist, of Missoula; Mr. R. H. Ballard, cellist, of Butte; and Mr. Perry Chisholm, violinist, of Bozeman, were secured to assist the club, and the program was given before a large audience in the Bozeman opera house, April 19, 1901. A few weeks lrter concerts were given in Big Timber and Livingston. An extended tour was now planned and it was decided to work to that end the following season. On the 29th of March, 1902, the first concert of this series was given in Townsend. Other concerts were given in Deer Lodge, Hamilton, Missoula, Butte, Boulder and Helena. The boys all arrived in Bozeman broke and in the hole from this trip, but it was not a failure in other respects. Three more concerts were given in Bozeman, Manhattan and Livingston before the end of the year, and then the first Glee Club of our college we t out of existence. 7 5: Tn nkmoriam Riratti Douglas 0ook During the summer of nineteen six the ’o8 class lost one of their best and most trusted members, Hiram Cook. He was born at Darby, Mont., June 28, 1884, and attended school there for several years. He entered the preparatory department of M. A. C. in 1902 and graduated in 1904. The next fall he entered college as a freshman in civil engineering and had completed the sophomore year of that work at the time of his death. He was an exceptionally good student and always willing to do his part towards the general interests of college life. He was admired and trusted by all nis class mates, and his absence at the beginning of our Junior year was one of the sad features of that unusually pleasant time. He was accidentally drowned in the Yellowstone river, near Livingston, on July 22, 1906. He was in the employ of the N. P. R. R. at the time. His sudden taking away has left a vacancy in our class and among his associates which can never be filled and the memory of him will be one of the heritages of our college life which time alone can take away. Irvin Hbram Ricfi Irvin bram Rich was born on February 29, 1884, near Missoula, Montana. He attended the public and high schools at Dillon and graduated from the latter in 1902. In the fall of 1902 he entered M. A. C. as a freshman in engineering, and the next year took the short course in engineering. lie did not return to school again until the fall of 1905, and then took the post graduate work in the business department. During the years he spent with us in college he made many friends and was admired by all for his quiet and gentlemanly way. He was working in Livingston during his last summer vacation and on September 27th, while crossing the railroad track near the depot, was struck by an engine and killed. He was a young man of exemplary habits and had a promising career before him. His sudden taking away was deeply regretted by his many college fiiends, among whom he was very popular and held in the highest esteem. 78. Oscar Olson Oscar Olson, a member of the freshman class of 1910, was born in St. Paul, Minn., on June 1, 1888. He graduated from the Helena High School in 1906, and entered M. A. C. last fall, as a freshman in the electrical engineering department. He was a splendid student in every way and his sudden death was a blow, not only to his own class, but to the whole college. He returned to college after the mid-year vacation with a slight cold. The next Monday, January 15, he grew suddenly worse and early in the evening it was apparent that he was the victim of the dread pneumonia. Medical assistance was summoned at once, but all was in vain, and he died about midnight. In Mr. Olson’s death we lost a young man who was earnest and upright, both as a student and as a man. His career with us was short, but in that short time he won his way into the hearts of his fellow' students and will long be remembered by them. 7 9 fl Rocky mountain idyll Mid the mountains of Montana In the savage Rocky Mountains Lies a broad and fertile valley And the Gallatin men call it. Mid the circumjacent mountains Lies this plain, so smooth and even That the eye can quickly measure All its surface and horizon From the rocky pass to eastward To the mountains that to westward Greet the golden sun at sunset. Cold and white its face in winter. Hurling dazzling, blinding sunbeams Back again into the ether, And the mountain summits hoary Cut their forms upon the azure. In the spring time countless flowers Tint the slopes and dot the meadow, Blue and yellow, pink and crimson. Chase each other o’er the valley. When the days of burning summer Merge into the cool of autumn, Out of verdant fields the golden, Golden harvest bursts in splendor, And if then you climb the mountains That o’erlook the spacious valley, Then your eye will see a vision And your heart will feel a rapture Like the heart of the Creator. Under feet roll down the forests Meeting far below the valley, Thirty miles of wondrous valley Spread before you like a chess board. Squares of grain and squares of fallow Stretch away in countless number, While above, beyond and endless, Raise their mighty shapes the mountains, Frowning, beetling, intersecting, Warring with the storms of ages, Iron hearted, rugged breasted, Snowy locked and shaggy crested, And yet cradling in their bosoms With a joy and care maternal Tenderest flowerets and blossoms. In the wildness to the southward, Southward from the burg of Bozeman, Through a gorge of savage beauty Flows the Middle Creek’s swift torrent Gushing from the heart of snow peaks Mid the solitudes eternal, Down it rushes over boulders, Falling, foaming, whirling, singing, Singing to itself a paean, Forest hymns to its Creator. Tiny brooks that run to meet it Join in the exultant chorus. In those clear pellucid waters Bear and deer and mountain lion Slake their thirst without molesting. 8o. When it bursts from rocky fastness Yields the current now its freedom, Vassal now of irrigation, Finds itself confined in ditches Waters verdant waving grain fields, Waters them and makes them fertile To produce the feed of horses And the wheat made into flour For the bread and nut brown doughnuts That the Saints of Bozeman live on. To produce the splendid barley. Which in malt is straight converted Sent to New York, shipped to Deutschland, To assist in making amber, Liquid sparkling foaming amber, Refreshing to the souls of sinners. In the month of January, In the year of Nineteen Hundred, On the next day after New Years, Up into the wintry mountains Into Middle Creek’s wild canyon, Went two bold and daring hunters Known as Currier and Draper. Dark the canyon walls above them. Deep the snowy waste beneath them, Nothing daunted, on they floundered. Beat a track for Hollier's horses. It was morning when they started And the shivering twilight shadows Closed around them when they halted, Paused at last beneath the pine trees By a lonely little cabin, Known to woodsmen as Hood’s cabin, Doubtless named for that small maiden Who to rescue her old grandma Sliced a wolf up with a carver, Filled him plenty with rock candy. In this cabin then our hunters Settled down to solid comfort, Built a fire and burned potatoes, Fried the bacon and made pancakes, Aunt Jemina’s buckwheat fritters. What were left they used for covers For the frying pan and kettles. After which they sat and chatted Smoked the pipe of peace and plenty Far into the hours nocturnal. Then on boughs of fragrant pine tree Slept the sleep of tired mortals. And the forest giants whispered Sighed and murmured to the night wind Moaned in answer to the panther Creeping wailing through the silence Plaintive wailing like an infant Left to perish in the mountains. In the morning after breakfast Our brave hunters packed their outfits. Draper had a fancy camera Furnished with a lengthy tripod. Currier a Colt’s revolver Fastened round him with a trunk strap. 8l. i—— —— Thus equipped they started gaily On the broad Canadian snow shoes. Sometimes rather undecided If to sit down or to stand up. But they waddled bravely onward Till they got the hang of moving. So they climbed the snowy shoulders Of the giants of the mountains, Saw the giants of the mountains, Saw the frozen glittering masses Of the water fall in winter. And the man with the revolver Shot a squirrel that would measure As I guess it full six inches. But the squirrel whirled so quickly As it felt the leaden inpact That the bullet- on emerging Came back straight upon the hunters. Very nearly hit the camera With its precious load of dry plates. Now prepare to listen calmly For a marvel I will will tell you That befell these honest Nimrods And their photo apparatus. To secure a truthful picture Of the mountain peaks majestic Draper set up quick the tripod, The machine then mounted on it, And the plate and all was ready When a growl like distant thunder Set the hunter’s hearts a tremble. Lo! from out the forest gloomy Plunged the monarch of the mountains The untamed and fearful grizzly. Faith he had no heed of snow shoes Such as horses sometimes tread on In far Idaho’s deep snow fields, For his paws wide and tremendous Kept him well above the surface As he came in might stupendous, Marching barefoot mid the snow drifts. Then our heroes held a council Like a dream so short and fleeting. The decision they arrived at Was they hadn’t lost his bearship. In a trice the field was vacant. Up a tree went one bold nimrod And the other through the torrent Rushed to find a place of safety. I imagine that old Bruin Was a lover of good photos, Thought that it would be a pity If the picture were not taken Of that scene so grandly rugged, And if he were in the foreground It would add a touch of Forepaugh. So he grabbed with his right forepaw At the bulb and then he hugged it, For Old Eph can take a pleasure In the gentle art of hugging. Then he turned and scanned the hunters. 82, Growled and said as plain as can be: “When the pictures you’ve developed, Send me please a sample copy. I can’t bear to be without it.” Then he smiled and quick departed, Leaving foot prints like a snow shoe On the white and dazzling snow field. After long and weary waiting Back returned the cautious hunters, Packed the camera together. Hit the hot trail for the cabin. Bright and early on the morrow Down the canyon swift they skated. For they felt an awful hurry To develop that one photo Since to prove a good bear story Have your truthfulness attested. You must either show the bear skin. Better still a faithful photo. Photographs you know lie seldom Which is not the case with hunters, Nor with simple minded anglers. Gentle reader, if you doubt this Wonderful and truthful story If you feel inclined to take it For a bear faced imposition On your guileless, trusting nature, Gaze upon the photo faithful And your unbelief will vanish Like the mists that play at sunrise Round the mountain summits hoary When the golden crowned sun god Drives his chariot o’er the ranges Circling round the matchless valley Of fair Gallatin the fertile. 84. Ccs Buttons Les Bouffons Club was organized in 1900 and during the winter of that year about twenty of the young men of the college joined it, electing James Arnold their first president. The name, Les Bouffons, meaning jesters or meiry makers, was adopted for the club and a complete organization effected during the year. The purpose of the club is to give a dance once each month during the school year and frequent social entertainments for themselves. The dances are for the college students and are the only regular functions of that kind for students. The present members of the club are: Carl Widener, Clyde C. Penwell, Wilbur Robinson, Whitfield Spain, Harold Flager, Will Throm, Frank Bird, Charles Fisher, Stanley Yergey and Clinton Wylie. � «- The College Choristers were organized in the fall of 1904. Before this the college had tried to support both a boy’s glee club and a girl’s singing club, but this was too arduous an undertaking where there were so few candidates for the positions. So in the fall of 1904 tlie Choristers were organized under the direction of Prof. Oliver, each candidate for membership being required to pass a satisfactory test in the reading and singing of music. There were in all eighteen members, including the pianist, who met weekly at Featherston’s music store for rehearsal. They continued this work during the winter of the first vear and in the spring, assisted by Miss Josephine Cook and Prof. Currier, gave a very creditable concert in the Bozeman opera house. Thi« roiuvrt erm-ed the first year’s work. In the fall of 1905 the club again began work, with only two or three changes in the membership. This year they met at the homes of the different members for rehearsal, which proved a very satisfactory arrangement. In the spring concerts were given in Bozeman and Belgrade. In the fall of 1906 work was again started, with almost the same membership and under the same direction. This year concerts were given in Bozeman, Livingston and Helena. The concert in Helena was given under the auspices of the Civic League of that place. 87. A- The Arena Literary Society was organized in September of the year eighteen ninety three for the purpose of deriving benefits “from attainments in oratory and general intellectual culture” which can “be obtained through fellowship and co-operative labor. For the first three years the society was of a co-educational nature, but in eighteen ninety six was re-organized and made one to which the men, only, of the institution were eligible. Since that time members of the preparatory department have also been excluded, leaving the present membership composed entirely of regular college students. We mention with pride some of the former members of the society who have gained prominence,—T. H. McKee, lawyer, New York City; T. L. Pease, dentist, California: Lew Thorpe, assistant city engineer, Bozeman; A. E. Mackintosh, editor Republican-Courier, Bozeman; F. G. Willson, instructor electrical engineering, University of Illinois; Harvey Sloan, county surveyor, Gallatin county: B. B. Law, county attorney, Gallatin county; Lowell King, 89. professor of mathematics, Butte High School; Edmund Burke, assistant professor of chemistry, M. A. C., and W. W. Jones, instructor in biology, M. A. C. The first meetings were held in the old Academy building and at other times the Arena has met at the Carnegie library lecture room, the College, the Guild rooms, Martin's hall, Maxey’s hall, etc. One public meeting is given each semester to give outsiders an idea of the work being done. Regular meetings are held every two weeks under the auspices of the Sacred Black Cat, who watches over each and every Arenian, inspiring them to higher attainments in every walk of life. TWAS THE DAY q OUR 8ECOND DEGREE, 9o. Initiation Song (Tune—In the Shade of the -Old Apple Tree.) Some weeks ago we entered the Arena, And our cups of joy did surely overflow. The first thing mentioned was a moonlight picnic, It didn’t take us long to say we’d go. But next they told us of initiation. And since then has our tale been one of woe. O, the second degree of our initiation Was to march us up and down the street; Arrayed in bath robes, night gowns and kimonas. They surely had us loaded to the feet. CHORUS. Twas the day of our second degree, We sailed around over the lea. The females they stood Peeping out from their hood, Expecting our ankles to see. We were thinking, why this isn’t bad. In fact were inclined to be glad. When one naughty old thing Turned and asked us to sing. Every one works in our house but dad. The next degree, why it was really easy. We simply had to sign upon the roll. And listen when the president read by-laws. And answer when he told us “yes” or “no. But. oh! the third one surely was a beauty. And the way they dished it out was simply great. Why, they made us sit down on a sponge of water, Drink stuff that to us seemed like liquid fire. And then we had to take hold of a handle And pick the currents off the city wire. CHORUS. In the chair with the sponge in the seat Our futures we there all did greet. With our hearts full of fear We dared not shed a tear. Or they’d think we all had cold feet. In the chair with the sponge in the seat, Our third degree there we did meet. Mid electrical snowers, We did surely get ours, In the chair with the sponge in the seat. The Hamiltonia Literary Society was organized in November 1904, to replace the dead and buried Cliolian. At first, as is true of all very young things, it had no name, so a committee was appointed to choose one. Since this is a practical school it was not considered advisable to organize a Greek letter society, and as it was President Hamilton's first year here, the name Hamiltonia was chosen in honor of him. At that time Mr. Frank Ham was president of the boy’s society, the Arena, and with the egotism characteristic of their sex they at once concluded that this was the reason for the Ilamiltonia’s name. If you don’t understand the insinuation just ask the Arena boys. The most notable events of the first year were our public meetings with the Arena boys, in which they distinctly refused to deliver orations or write stories—or in fact do anything the girls wanted them to do. But seriously, the work of the girls the first year was notable because of its excellence, and the same standard has been maintained since. In our organization and work we owe much to Mrs. Hall, at whose home we held our meetings during the first year. During ,o5-’o6 we met at the homes of Ruby and Gladys King and Mabel and Bessie Thorpe. This year we have been holding our meetings at the home of Ethel Widener. Last year and this the plan for the meetings has been to select a general subject and have the program, consisting of an oration, story, essay, debate, etc., on the subject selected. The emblem of our society is a block “IT and was chosen during our first year. This is jealously treasured by the girls, as is shown by the practical objections raised when some of the less fortunate boys attempt to decorate themselves with it. 93- Pbilamaiblon On October 16, 1905, the preparatory class of our college met in room seventeen of the main hall of the college for the purpose of organizing a literary and athletic society, for the benefit of the preparatory students. Mr. Leslie Bechtel acted as temporary chair- ,v man. ML Louis Allard was elected president; Mr. Bert Hammond, vice president; Miss Clark, secretary; Miss Lulu Baker, treasurer; and Miss Marshall and Mr. Bechtel, sergeants at arms. A committee of three was appointed to draw up a constitution and bylaws. This committee was Charles Draper, Miss Lulu Baker and Bert Ilammond. At the next meeting an executive committee was appointed as follows: Charles Draper, Frank Froebe and Will Thompson. This committee had power to inflict on the members of the society any of the following punishments: extemporaneous speeches, re- citations, debates, dialogues, solos, etc. The following athletic committee was also appointed: Marguerite Shellenbarger, Otis Dagget and Edgar Allen. At the third meeting Leslie Griffith was elected reporter for the Exponent and Louis Allard, captain, and Edgar Allen, manager, of the boy’s basket ball team. At this meeting the “Holly” colors were chosen and the name Philamathion, meaning lover of knowledge. This year the society has continued in a flourishing condition and includes nearly all the preparatory students. Several of our last year’s members are freshmen this year and we point with pride to them on both the college debating and athletic teams. 95- Engineers OFFICERS FOR 1906-07. President—Harold Flager. Vice President—Irvin Mountjoy. Secretary—W. J. Kremer. Treasurer and Business Manager—Carl Widencr. Sergeant at Arms—Thos. Milner. The Engineer's Society is now in the third year of its existence, dating its organization from September 29, 1904, when a mass meeting of the engineering students decided that such an organization was needed in our college. On October 5, 1904, a constitution and by-laws were adopted and the first officers elected as follows: President, Howard Flager; vice president, Floyd Lorentz; secretary, Carl Widener; business manager, Ralph Boyles; treasurer, H. D. Cook; sergeant at arms, Fred Ervin. At this time 25 studens were enrolled as active members. Soon after Mr. E. W. King, of Bozeman, offered a first prize of twenty dollars and a second prize of ten dollars for the best papers on the subject of Engineering Possibilities in Gallatin County. Floyd Lorentz won the first prize and Bert Hind the second. 97- The purpose of the society is to organize the engineering students for work outside the regular college curriculum. Business meetings are held each month and special meetings whenever practicable. At these meetings programs are given, consisting of articles on subjects appearing in technical papers, or interesting experiences of those in actual practice; papers and talks by members of the faculty, local engineers, or representatives of engineering concerns. Since its organization the society has been favored with a number of interesting and valuable papers by professional men of the state. The society keeps the records of the slide rule contest whicn is held near the close of each year. A class for the study of this instrument meets wekly for part of the college year and at the end of the work holds a contest in which the first prize is a bronze medal with the inscription, “Champion Computer,” on one side and the name of the winner on the other. Two contests have been held and Floyd Lorentz has won both. The membership of the society is composed of active members, who are taking a four years course in engineering, and associate members, who are taking any work closely related to engineering. This year there are about fifty active and forty associate members. The society also benefits its members by purchasing supplies of books, papers, instruments and other materials needed in their work. The business this year will amount to several hundred dollars and represents quite a saving to the students as they get these supplies at almost cost. The society pin represents a section of the triangular scale used by engineers, and on the face of the pin, which is blue enameled with gold border lines, are the letters, E. M. A. C., in gold. These are the initials of the words, Engineers of the Montana Agricultural College. 98. lUben Prexie Was a Boy 99- The present officers of our V. W. C. A. are Amy Cook, president; Edna Tracy, vice president; Edna Bull, treasurer; Blanche Metheney, secretary. Our last year's work shows an unusual growth in a spiritual way and everything points to the same success this year. Our regular meetings are held Thursday noon, at one o'clock, and there is an average attendance of forty for the quiet half hour of prayer. Our asociation meets for its conference with the Northwest and for the past two years we have been represented at Gearhart, Oregon, by three delegates. Previous to that time we had sent delegates to Capitola, California, and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It is hard to overestimate the real value of spiritual relationship and we consider that much more good can be done by cpiiet, helpful co-operation than almost any other way. It is with this end in view that we conduct pur association and we believe our work shows at least some success. Y. IU. e. B. Cabinet In October, 1900, during the visit of E. T. Colton, western secretary of the International Committee, the local Y. M. C. A. was organized. It is just an iota among the vast constituents of the W orld’s Student Christian Federation, but yet it stands for everything which the Universal association stands for in the way of clean, pure manhood and right living. 'l'he type constantly before the association is the perfect man of Galilee, and the striving to be more like this One is the cause oi the full all around development that can be seen in the conscientious association man. The aim of the association then is to develop the perfect type of manhood, pure and sincere, of which the Christ was exemplary; to promote Christian fellowship among all students; and to make its influence felt for the good and itself a help wherever possible. ¥. m. e. B. Cabinet IOI. J1 Randful of Roses A handful of roses all reeking with beauty, Out breathing a fragrance as vanishing sweet As lover’s young dreams in a summergreen forest. Bright roses, redundant in grace, and replete With life’s purest essence, compounded with sunshine. Frail buds of the future, their heart leaves unseen, Great roses, all splendid in perfect maturing. Some poor broken roses, whose fair hopes have been Half crushed out of life by the storm winds rough feet. Thus, with hands heaped full of roses. Stands a maiden at the gateway Of a garden, old and stately. In whose depths bright joy reposes. Just outside there lies a highway, Dusty from the great world’s passing. In its greedy wealth amassing; Noisy with its restless hurry. Just within, the rare old garden Offers cool deep green recesses, Where the wind with soft caresses Robs the shadows of their burden. Trees are there whose tall aspiring Lifts the soul up nearer heaven. Merry fountains, dimply riven, Lure the fancy, never tiring. All the birds and blithesome beauty, All the strength and all the sweetness. That can blend in pure completeness; Yield this garden loyal duty. There the fair and joyous maiden Gathered roses all the morning. Now. the finished task adorning, Stands she with her harvest laden. College maiden, guard your treasure! Hold with care your gathered roses. Long and rough the way uncloses Which your feet must surely measure. Clasp them all in tender keeping; Buds of promise, perfect flowers, Bven roses hurt by showers. Made more perfect by their weeping. Bless the world with your rose gathering In the dear old college garden. Give from out your precious burden Perfect flowers, never withering. 102.

In May, 1895, under the management of the faculty and the editorship of Prof. H. G. Phelps, the first issue appeared. Only two numbers were issued under this management, and in February, 1896, the students took charge; elected a staff with Y. T. Shaw, editor in chief, and issued three numbers that spring. Since then the editors in chief have been: E. V. Blankenship, Oct. ’96-May, '97; Thos. O. Caldwell, Oct. ’97-June, ’98; Seth Maxwell, Oct. ’99; Beatrice Freeman, Nov. 99-June, 00; Wyatt W. Jones, Oct. ’00-June. ’01 ; A. N. Clark, Nov. ’01-May, ’02: Frank W. Ham, Oct. ’02-May, ’03; Lowell R. King, Nov. 03-June, ’04: Ermine L. Potter, Oct. 04-June, 06; Floyd S. Lorentz, Oct. '06-June, 07. In looking over this list of editors it is interesting to note that only 104. one girl has been honored with the position, and that Ermine L. Potter is the only editor that has held two terms. It is also interesting to know what has become of some of these ex-editors. E. V. Blankenship is a successful farmer in the Gallatin valley and was a member of the House of Representatives from Gallatin county in the Ninth Legislative Assembly. Thos. Caldwell is a chemist at Gilt Edge, and Seth Maxwell, at last report, was with the Butte Evening News. Beatrice Freeman is now Mrs. Thomas Davis and is living at Columbus, Mont. She was for several years assistant in the biological department of the college and later taught science in the Columbus High school. Wyatt W. Tones is now assistant in the biological department of M. A. C. and A. N. Clark is working for the Western Electric company in New York City. Frank W. Ham is assisting in the chemical department of M. A. C. Lowell R. King is professor of mathematics in the Butte High school and Ermine L. Potter is attending the Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa. Floyd S. Lorentz is now a senior in the electrical engineering department of M. A. C. The first year the Exponent had nine pages and one member on the editorial staff. It is now published monthly by a staff of nine members and has from twenty-six to thirty-two pages. Since 1896 the students have had full control of the paper, electing their editor in chief and giving him the power to choose his own staff. e— —0 translations She ate herself. She rang her hands.

Shakespeare Up to Date All the college is a stage, the students and teachers merely players; they have their exits and their entrances though each one in their time plays many parts, their acts being of seven stages. At first the whining prep., youthful in years and creeping like a snail throughout the college halls. Then the freshman, strong in courage but weak at heart, making love to the fair maids in the alcoves. Then the sophomore, sudden in quarrel, quick in action and phoning the police for protection. Then the junior, with a head a world too small for his store of knowledge, now editing an annual. Then the senior, capped and gowned, his youthful pranks long forgotten, now dignified and learned. The sixth stage shifts into the lean and bald pated alumus with spectacles on nose and pouch unfilled, his youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide for his shrunk shank and his old college voice, now turning into a childish treble, goes piping and whistling in its sound. The seventh and last stage which ends this eventful scene of college life is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans eat, sans taste, sans eyes, sans everything. 107. Ittoti Dieu! 108. Cooking Backward '‘In my study dark and dreary while the shadows of evening fall, And the shadows from the firelight dance upon the gloomy wall. I am sitting sad and lonely, and my eyes with fancy turn, To the land behind the fireplace where the coals of memory burn.’ One does not get in the short period of seven or eight months after graduating as clear a perspective of their college years as after the same number of years have passed away. In this short time they recur as happy yesterdays. The cheerful associations, or in other words the good times, perhaps appeal most strongly and especially do we think of those we loved and say, with Emerson, A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.” During the college years we form such close and lasting associations with so many of our own age and interests. Unrelated mortals receive little pleasure from each other and one never suspects the latent possibilities of the other. College days give unrivalled opportunities for such sympathetic, sincere friendship, appropriate not only for a summer day, polite gifts and country rambles, but for the rough road and toil of a weary day. Such as was in the 109. «■ . . .. r— mind of the man who wrote the following could never represent true friendship: . And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep, A shade that follows wealth or fame, And leaves the wretch to weep.” But in striking antithesis to this we have, “My friends are mine forever, From June to life's December; Not mine to have or hold, But to pray for and remember.” Distance has not yet lent sufficient enchantment to draw away the mission and the struggle to accomplish that mission of these yesterdays. The conflicts of the world are not all on the tented field, for the mental and moral contests are quite as serious as the bodily. God offers to every mind the choice between truth and repose and “he is a freeman whom the truth makes free and all are slaves beside.” Hence in college we serch for truth and wrestle with the minds of different professors until their blessing be won, and instead of burning meteors they become as bright stars, blending their light with all our days. The truth as it gradually comes to us, amidst our labors, seems like a transparent and radiantly brilliant ether pervading our whole existence, and enervating us for that stern struggle which is ever going on between Truth and Might, or that which is and that which ought to be. In order to be equipped for this fight and realizing that ideas fresh from the mind are to be marshalled against principalities and powers; that brains instead of arms, thinkers instead of soldiers, books instead of kings, are to rule, we tried to forge in our minds weapons that should supplant the sword of history. So college life is one of lofty purposes and of ambitious dreams. Why wonder that they are not all realized? Why wonder that freshman dreams often prove as untrue to the future, as those of the one who wrote: “Ah ! how we fellows used to dream the hours away, And build ambitious castles in the air; And every boy when he grew up, of course was going to play Some instrument—which one he did not care, no. Cornet, or fife, or drum, or flute, it made no difference then. Twas all the same, if only our small feet Could be in line, and we could help to make the music when The village band went playing down the street. Alas! for dreams, ambitions fires that naught could ever quench, Dick Sheridan in college has a chair, Frank Klanders making motor cars, True Cass is on the bench ; And Hackey Hughes is just a millionaire, Fred Leser went to congress and Bill Jenkins went to jail, Bob White's in California raising wheat; And I am just a scribbler with a silly little tale, The village band went playing down the street.” It is only after we have finished that we realize the debt of gratitude we owe those faithful teachers, who used our mistakes as practice shots. May we prove worthy of their attentions and proud of our Alma Mater, and even though the dreams of our undergraduate days do not come true, become more what they had expected us to be rather than what we had hoped to be.

Cbe Oratorical Association Eloquence is the master element in politics—the most interesting and absorbing game human beings can play. Some say that oratory has outlived its usefulness, that it is on the decline, but leaders in this art to-day prove that the orator never had a larger field or could exert more influence than he can now. Oratory is not declining, but advancing, and to cultivate this art in our college the Oratorical Association was organized. This association has charge of the annual oratorical contest, held between the Montana State University, at Missoula; the Wesleyan University at Helena; and our college. Also the inter-collegiate and inter-class debates. The first oratorical contest in which the college took part was in 1900, when Homer Thompson represented us. His oration was “Our Political Responsibility.” Missoula won this and the state championship. In 1901 Herbert Farris’ oration “National Conscience” was awarded first prize and gave us the championship. The next year Frank Ham represented us with the oration “Another Prometheus.” but was unsuccesful. In 1903 Ben Law was our representative, but again Missoula won. His oration was “The Federation of the World.” In 1904 the contest was held in Bozeman and Burle Jones spoke for the college on “King Arthur, A Modern Hero.” Again Missoula was victorious. In 1905 Agnes Mountjoy went to Helena and won second place on the oration “Beyond the Clouds.” Helena took first place this year. In 1906 Miss Mountjoy again represented us and won the state championship for M. A. C. Her oration was “The Dreamers.” Inter-collegiate debating has been confined to six contests with the Wesleyan University. Of these Wesleyan has won three and we, three. The first debate took place in 1900, when our team, 112. Henry Gardiner, Elers Koch, and Zoe Hartman, were victorious. Helena came here the next year and defeated us. Our speakers were Polly Davidson, Zoe Hartman and Foley Waters. In 1902 we beat Helena on her own grounds, being represented by Ben Law, Jerome Locke and Burle Jones. The only unanimous decision given in any of the contests between the two colleges was in 1903, when Helena defeated our debaters, Agnes Mountjoy, Gladys Jones and J. A. Rhoades, in Bozeman. In 1904 we were represented in Helena by Robert Jones, Leslie Bechtel and Belle Osborn and they returned with the flag of victory. Through a mistake there was no debate last year, but this year our team went to Helena and lost the decision by a vote of two to one. Many thought the decision rightfully belonged to Bozeman and a number of the legislators who were present complimented our speakers on their argument and team work and expressed themselves as opposed to the decision. There was a lot of objection to the rebuttal speech of our last speaker, the negative holding that we were trying to introduce new evidence. This objection hindered our speaker and had its effect-on the decision. The objection was against all previous rules of debating and, as Pres. Tenney said, the speech of our man was perfectly admissable. O ■ — J ”3- Intercollegiate Debating Ceam The team which met the Wesleyan University at Helena this year was Whitfield Spain, Marvin Spain, Leslie Bechtel and Arthur Peterson. The question was: Resolved, that the Japanese should be given the Right of Citizenship in the U. S. The college had the affirmative side. Whitfield Spain made his debut in college debating last year as a representative of the freshman class in the Freshmen-Prepar-atory debate. He was also a member of the college team last year, and this year, besides the Helena debate, did some brilliant work in the Freshmen-Sophomore debate. He is a graduate of the Gallatin County High School and is taking the agricultural course in M. A. C. Marvin Spain is a brother of Whitfield and entered college late this year, as a freshman. He is also from the Gallatin County High School, where he did his first debating. In the preliminary which was held to select the freshmen team for the Freshmen-Sophomore debate he was given first place on the freshmen team. He is a strong, clear speaker, a deep thinker, and always has an answer to every question. Leslie Bechtel, although physically the smallest on the team, is the largest when it comes to clear, forceful debating. He hails from Butte and is now spending his fourth year at M. A. C. During this time lie has graduated from the business and preparatory departments and is now a freshman in college. In his second and third years in the preparatory department he won a place on the 114. college debating team and in his third year also took second place in the local oratorical contest. He has been a representative of his class for two years in inter-class debates, besides taking an active part in literary society work. Excepting the last debate with Helena, Mr. Bechtel has the pleasant distinction of being on the winning side in every debate in which he has taken part. Arthur Peterson has been associated with debate work for several years. He is a very forceful speaker, a clear thinker, and always in the game. He is now a junior and is planning to study law after his graduation from college. As the leading member of the Wesleyan University team from Helena he debated against M. A. C. in 1904, and the Helena team that year won the only unanimous decision given in a debate between the two institutions. 0 — . ——0 Is Tt Crue ? College Girl at phone—“The Oxford, please. “Hello, is Harry Smith there?” Mr. Smith—“Hello.” She—“Oh, Mr. Smith, I saw in the paper you had a milch cow for sale ’ Mr. Smith—“A milch cow? She—“Yes. It said Harry Smith had a good milch cow for sale. Have you?” Mr. Smith—“Oh, I see—why, yes, I believe I have. She—“Is it a Hereford?” Mr. Smith—Why, no. I think it’s a Shorthorn.” She—“Oh, Pm sorry. I don’t want a Shorthorn.” Mr. Smith—“Well, perhaps I have one. I’ll look thro’ my herd. She—“Well, you let me know if you find it. I’m very anxious to get a good Hereford.” Mr. Smith—“Certainly. When do you want to know, Faye?” She—“Faye? Faye, who. I'm Mrs. Sopey, and I live four miles south of Bozeman. I don't know any Faye.” Mr. Smith—Oh, I beg your pardon. I'll let you know about the cow.” Two days later a college girl asked at the general delivery for a letter for Mrs. Vivian Sopey, and got the following: Bozeman, Mont., March 15, 1907. Mrs. Vivian Sopey, Bozeman, Montana: Dear Madam,—I find I have nothing but a Shorthorn in mv herd, but am going to a Sheriff’s sale soon and will see what I can find for you. Ever and Anon, IT5- H. D. S. TnteH£la$$ Debating College inter-class debating began here last year, when the Prep, team of youngsters defeated the class of ’09 in a contest, full of excitement. The class of 08 also defeated the class of ’09, in what, one of the judges said, was one of the best debates for depth of thought he had ever heard. This year there has been but one debate, that between the classes of ’09 and 10, on the question: Resolved, that the present policy of the United States with respect to Chinese immigration should be continued. The Sophs, had the affirmative and were represented by Whitfield Spain, Bertha Morrison and Lisle Henderson. The Freshmen speakers were Marvin Spain, Franklin Keene and Leslie Bechtel. Many say it was the best contest ever held at the college. At all events it was a hard fought one. Whitfield Spain opened for the affirmative and laid a clear case. His argument was ecellent and did considerable toward winning over the one judge the Sophomores got. Bechtel followed for the negative, admitted most of Spain's argument, and laid a good foundation for his two colleagues to build upon. Miss Morrison then said a good many things against the Chinese, which Keene, for the negative, refuted. Henderson closed for the affirmative and then Marvin Spain, by a brilliant and dashing finish, made the negative side show up so strong that the five minute reply speech allowed the affirmative was of no avail. The judges were Dr. W. A. Tudor, County Attorney B. B. Law and Prof. Homer Thompson. Xo other classes wishing to debate with them, the Freshmen are now the acknowledged inter-class champions of the college. 116. Freshman tetter My dear Mama i have Just got to M. A. C. and its fine here and every place 1 go everybody looks at me and comes and asks me where i am from, i tell them rme from helena and thev think i am allright. And then they asks me what i'm going to take and i tells them and oh ma i wish you could see the president.

Is really quite large; for just see! When she’s on her toes She comes to his nose. And isn’t that all she need be? There once was a cute little boy, Who gave to his Vida much joy. For Harold, you see, Took her on the lea, As his little darling employe. Another sweet girl, Frieda Bull, Has crowded her hard head so full Of things she would know, That where’er you go; You hear of that wise Frieda Bull. A basket ball player named Griff, Once, played through a game like a whiff. His playing was grand, The best in the land. And Missou went home in a jiff. Another of these, Maud DeMuth, Is so wise and learned in truth. That she for her prize, Took one of her size. And will leave with him soon, forsooth. The Exponent man, F. Lorentz, Has used all his brains and his sense To make it a “go,” But now, dont you know. He has won his Madam Lorentz. There once was a girl, so they say, Who would e’er with emphasis pray. Just Hartman, my name, Shall always remain, As long an on earth I shall stay. Ii8t Again, we’ve a fellow named Pease, Who in order his friends to please. Was compelled to part The joy of his heart, From his touching lip, don’t you see. And then there’s a girl you all know. ’Tis Agnes, her face all aglow. With radiance fair, She completes the pair, With Tommy, the end of the show. Another cute fellow is Clyde, Who over the dance floor will glide, A girl twice his size, A shocking surprise. While he’s gayly burning with pride. A dear, charming lassie is Belle. By may considered quite swell. He� face soon to bloom, With some one to groom. Ann then the glad story we’ll tell. ’Twas Pen. well, the wise ones all say, Took a friend to Belgrade one day. Their going was queer, From all that we hear. For hand cars will go without pay. A girl whose initials spell mat. Need never have fear about that. Some day or other She’ll have a lover. And then where will Mabel be at. A brilliantine, Thomas B. Quaw, Once laughed with a mighty ha, ha. I’m Flora’s sweet peach, She’s my little screech. Ha, ha, for a hullabala. A certain wise senior, Bess T.

We Tgof ? off my hc.q c As College Student. As College Professor. Cbe Ravages of Cime 122. 123. College Athletics Athletics in M. A. C. are now confined to basket ball, base ball and track work. Football was abolished by the faculty in 1906 for a period of two years, so football last fall consisted only of a few class games for the inter-class championship. The sophomore class won this. The boy’s basket ball team has done wonderful work this year and retained the state championship, which M. A. C. has held for the past five years. Games were played with the Helena Business College, University of Montana, and Montana College. The boys easily defeated all of these. The girls also have a basket ball team, but have been rather unfortunate in getting games this year. Two games were played with the Helena Business College girls, in both of which our girls won. M. A. C. also holds the state championship in base ball, taking it from the School of Mines in Butte last spring. Our track team was badly beaten by the University of Montana team last spring, but this year we have an eastern coach looking after the team and it is expected we will be more successful. Meets will be held with the University of Montana and the Wesleyan University. All athletics in the college are in charge of a student athletic association. This was organized in the fall of 1904 and has conducted athletics since then. Previous to that time the faculty had charge of the work. 124. Che Stags To release their pent-up energies the college boys decided several years ago to hold a stag party after the first half year examinations. The originators of this unique event were the freshmen and sophomore classes of '07 and '08. They held their party in Maxey’s hall in the spring of 1905. They chose this hall because of the substantial furniture and fixtures. The affair was a grand success, even the introduction of a can of CS2 by some wandering shorthorn did not mar the pleasure of the night. The feed was the attractive part, a whole mince pic for each one present being only a small part of it. About 12:30 a. m. during a fistic combat between A. F. Ervin and W. Ray a loud rap was heard on the door, and soon the noble figure of President Reid appeared. This was just as time was being called for the fifth round. Nothing further need be said on this subject. In 1906 the affair took place in Maxwell's hall. This was thought to be a stronger and more desirable structure. Mr. Palmer, of Cascade, was the star performer on this occasion and his rendition of Clementine and other famous selections will long be remembered by those present. At this time the poor girls of the college tried to emulate the example of the boys with a “Doe Party, but their efforts were of a very primitive nature. The party of 1907 was by far the best that has been held. With this article we publish a photo of one of the twenty things on the program. The party broke up about 3:30 a. m., and it was all the worn out boys could do to get themselves home under their burdens of mince pie, fried chicken, etc. 130.
