The hesitation was not confined to the staff, but extended to those whose likenesses are here presented, to those who did the engraving and to those who printed the edition. It is therefore hoped that there will be hesitation on the part of the readers as regards adverse criticism, but no hesitation need be felt if by any chance there should be a temptation to utter complimentary remarks. PARTIAL VIEW OF CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS THE MONTANAN Page 8 THE MONTANAN Jntrniiurtxnn OURIXGthe course of its four years of existence.the junior annual. The Montanan, has come to fill an important place in the institution. To it is devoted a great deal of time and attention with the purpose of providing students and facult) with a history of the varied activities of the college. This history, if confined to a dry statement of facts, would be intolerable, and so the institution known as the annual has grown to be featured principally with pictures and scenes connected with the life of the year past In preparing this volume an effort has been made to profit by the experience of the predecessors in the field. The tireless work performed by those who have had charge of previous editions should bear and has borne fruit by making possible a stead) improvement up to this time. Probably the most conspicuous changes which should make for a more interesting volume have been in the shortening of the articles on class and society history, the introduction of a more detailed account of athletic activities, the recognition of the remarkable growth in literary activity, and the presentation of the names of those in the various group pictures. For the stranger the last named innovation, or rather, extension of former policy, is probably the most important. A sea of faces with no means of identification is little less than confusing to the ordinary observer and this has led to the adoption by many of the annuals published in the country, of the policy of presenting the names with the pictures. W hether or not the athletic activities of a given year have been universally successful, it is always interesting to have a brief account' of the different games and of the causes which contributed to success or defeat. Relieving in the truth of the above statement, the annual this year presents such summaries, with the schedule of results in addition. To devote all the space and attention to the athletic events would be unfair under any conditions, but doubly so when it is considered that more rapid strides have been made in other lines this year than ever before Owing to this expansion and growth, opportunity is offered for making more of a feature out of debating, speaking, and other literary efforts. Probably the feature of former editions which has commanded least attention has been the history of the societies and classes. This is a necessary part of the book, and total neglect of it would result dis- P a g e 10 NINETEEN TWELVE astrously; yet insofar as it can be cut clown without leaving out essential facts and considerations, it is made more readable and acceptable to the critical eye of the average student body of America. To attempt to produce a book, every department and every page of which would be enthusiastically read or viewed by all who either purchased or inspected the book, is lar beyond the hope of even the most sanguine worker on any board of annual editors. So the ideal in the mind of those who have constructed this volume has been to make every page fill the position of either a necessity, or of an interesting feature to at least a few probable investigators. Whatever else may he true of the book which now lies before you, it is certain that everything in it is not original. No pretense to total originality is made. Handicapped by the short time of one year, into which many things have been crowded, and limited by finances, many features which would have added greatly to the intrinsic as well as sentimental value of this book have been abandoned. Plans for some of the. various departments have been greatly hurried and do not represent the true conception of them; others in comparison have been overdone, but probably from necessity. In conclusion, we wish to thank Mr. Xoah Kirbv for his conscientious assistance in the preparation of drawings; Mr. Gilbert Griffith for his valuable work along the same line; Miss Viola Fisher for her pioduction of the copy from which many of the headings in this book were reproduced; Schlccten and Williams for their willing assistance and valuable work; the Bureau of Engraving and the Great Falls Tribune for their expert work; and many others who have contributed largely to the publication. Pclorc closing forever the connection of the present staff with the enterprise designated at The Montanan, they wish to voice a desire that their dealings with the many unforeseen obstacles which confront that institution will have the result of pointing out new paths or of making old ones more passable to those who will succeed them year after year. A great deal of pleasure has been gleaned from the experience, and training achieved which will probably he valuable in future life; and. like their predecessors, the staff here expresses the hope that their creation will not only be appreciated, be successful as tilling its designed place in the school, but will also serve as an additional guide toward the perfection of a better publication in the future. Page it BACK TO NATURE NINETEEN TWELVE $ast, $rrsent auit iFuture HROM a very modest beginning in the spring of 1893. the Montana State College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts lias grown till at the present time it not only sets the pace for Montana institutions in standard, but also in progressiveness and extension. At the time of its beginning there were few who to any degree foresaw the expansion of the institution to its present scope. The financial support at that time was small, the returns from the liberal iand grants of the federal government, amounting to 140.000 acres of Montana’s virgin soil, were at that time negligible. The state, being then in its infancy, could make no large appropriations for buildings and equipment. The direct appropriations of the federal government, limited in use to purposes of instruction, while sufficient for those purposes, could not be profitably applied owing to the lack of buildings and equipment to permit of their use. The location of the college at first was the old academy building, now replaced by the magnificent Catholic Church on West Main Street. Part of the space in the high school building and other buildings in the city were utilized for the accommodation of the e er growing number of students. Finally the institution moved into its newly completed quarters on the hill. Year by year new buildings have been added, old ones have been improved, the campus has been enlarged and all the time this growth has been met with a corresponding increase in. student attendance. In the fall of 1904 the resignation of President James Reid took place and President J. M. Hamilton was called to the position. It was then said that the pioneer days of the institution were ended, that the future would see a development of the institution on the lines already begun, that enterprises then in their infancy had blazed the path for the future. Just how far this is true is merely a matter of opinion. In some respects the institution will always be in its pioneer days so long as it continues to undertake new tasks, so long as it progresses toward a stronger and bigger institution. Its pioneer days arc truly over if that term means infancy and uncertain growth. From a student’s standpoint, the past few years have been almost revolutionary, this year in particular having seen an exemplification of new standards and new ideas. Every organization and every individual connected with the college has under- P a g e 13 THE MONTANAN taken new tasks and in many ways echoed the prevailing air of progressiveness. Beginning with the opening of the college year in September, 1910, this spirit of progress began to manifest itselt even stronger than in previous years. From one coach on the athletic fields, matters had advanced till there were three all of the time and five for a great portion of the time. Organized support of student activities, which in previous years which had been existent largely in the minds of enthusiasts, now became a reality. Before the close of the football season, the institution had taken the lead in. and successfully executed, a campaign for the passage of tiie amendment to the state constitution relating to the tax levy, making possible liberal appropriations for higher education by the state legislatures of the years to come. Closely following this action was one for securing an Engineering Hall. This much needed addition to the equipment of the institution was secured after a hard fight and within two years will have been completed and utilized. Probably the most striking innovation in the line of progress was the first interscholastic basketball tournament and extemporaneous contest. held March 2. 3 and 4. under the auspices of the college. Sixteen teams entered the tournament, from the leading high schools of the state, and from fifteen schools speakers were sent. The tournament required fifteen games for its completion and was won by Billings high in the final contest with Anaconda by a score of 27 to 20. The speaking contest was won by j. R. Cotton of Fergus county high school. Appropriate medals and cups were awarded the winners and the event augured well for future years. The value to the college of this big affair in the matter of attracting the attention and interest of high school students can not be overestimated. In addition to this direct gain, there was a considerable one in unifying the student and faculty bodies, the two working together for the same grand purpose eliminated any friction which might have existed, while the same was true of different sections of the student body itself. That the event will become an annual one is certain, though its full results cannot be estimated. Supplementary to this campaign of education, and designed to reach still other high school people was the series of postal showers planned and executed by the girls, the sending of a representative with the Better Farming Special, with the especial duty of distributing information concerning the college, and the sending out of items of news concerning the college to the different papers of the state. Page 14 NINETEEN TWELVE In purely student activities, probably the greatest strides were made by the Weekly Exponent, which, within one year from its first publication. has reached a position of prestige and influence, not to mention quality and regularity, which entitles it to be ranked as one of the best college weeklies published in the country. Whatever may be the past, from all the laws of history, and from all the precedents of similar institutions in large eastern stales, the college which this book partially represents is destined to a continued growth and prosperity for years to come. Its location in a state which in years to come will be essentially agricultural in pursuits, in a valley which is famed the world over for its richness; its possession of the leading engineering departments in the west; and its substantial foundation. all combine to make certain this prediction. The steady increase in attendance, with the corresponding increase in faculty membership, point to an attendance within a few years reaching into four figures. The strenuous work of the present year will probably do much to foster this increase in students and hopes are apparently well founded for a record breaking freshman class next fall. With a continuation of the support granted the college by the State of Montana for years past, it is not unreasonable to expect the next five years to sec the improvement of the campus and addition of new buildings so change the topography of the hill as to render it unrecognizable to a student of this time. The new engineering hall, a new gymnasium, a splendid grand stand on the athletic field, new greenhouses and barns for the station, a dormitory for boys, a new chemistry building and main hall, and many other improvements may be expected to be added with unprecedented rapidity. To contemplate, in the mind’s eve. these changes and advancements, can have no result other than to instill an added respect and veneration for the institution. Traditions and memories are the backbone of what is known as college spirit, and these have been begun in the past, added to and maintained in the present, what then, may we look forward to for the future? During these present days of hurry, rush and high tension, it is well to stop for a moment occasionally to consider the results «� f past generations of workers. The growth in every branch and every department of the institution is a cause for marvel, and admiration of those who have made it possible. The sincere devotion of an ever growing alumni, coupled with the indefatigable efforts of a progressive faculty, and this in turn aided by an ever growing spirit of loyalty on the part of the students, these forces will tell heavily in future progress.

College Assistant in Animal Industry (Station) Page 25 THE MONTANAN htfta in thr iFarulty tCttmty HAT Montana State College has been growing and developing in the various departments. The Engineering departments in the past year have lost two competent and energetic instructors; Prof. Walter Carlson, graduate of Kansas Agricultural College came to M. S. C. in the fall of 1909 as assistant professor of mechanical engineering. He was one of those quiet, unassuming profs, who say little but know and understand much. In realization of his ability, he was called back to his alma mater to act as foreman of the shops. This position has been so ably filled by Mr. J. Wallace Marshall,.graduate of Cornell University, that the course has made even more definite progress this year than in previous ones. Mr. Marshall has also taken much interest in all college activities which have brought him into contact with all students and student life at M. S. C. riicn the electrical department, as well as the college, lost a valuable assistant and student in Orville S. Peters. He was known ail through iiis college course at M. S. C. as a brilliant student, and. while taking ins post graduate course in the year 1909 1910 was made assistant to Professor Thaler. But, owing to his great efficiency in his line of work, he now holds a responsible position in the bureau of standards at Washington. D. C. This year Arthur A. Perrine, an Armour Institute graduate. took up Mr. Peters’ work without any hesitation. Each department must grow as the college grows, so, in realization of its needs, the agricultural department, for the first time, offered a new course to its students—agricultural engineering. As the instructor for this study, the school was fortunate enough to obtain Mr. Herbert B. Bonebright, a graduate of Iowa State College, and a man who has had broad experience along this line of work. In each course of agriculture at M. S. C. has been felt the strong movement for the development of the Montana soil: but the horticultural department has felt this public sentiment with greater force than has any other branch, insofar that Professor Whipple was obliged to obtain Mr. Lyman G. Schermerhorn. graduate of Massachusetts Agricultural College, to assist in that line of work. Mr. Schermerhorn entered into tlie spirit of the college by assisting Coach McIntosh on the gridiron, and with the aid of his assistance, the school was able to put out one of the strongest teams it has ever boasted. into a school of the first class can in no better way be shown than by reviewing the series of changes that have taken place Page 26 NINETEEN TWELVE As the conditions and possibilities of Montana have become more generally known and the population has been increasing, the work of the Experiment Station has become so heavy this year that Professor Liniield was obliged to obtain Mr. J. R. Parker, graduate of Massachusetts Agricultural College, to assist in the biology work at the station, and Mr. R. F. Milier, a graduate of the Texas Agricultural College to help in the agronomy station. Along with these changes was the one in the Chemistry department occasioned by the resignation of J. W ilbur Robinson, 08. as instructor in chemistry, in order that lie might take up the work as manager of the Benepe-Berglund elevator at Manhattan, and also to enter the happy ordeal of married life. Mr. Rufus A. Barnes, a graduate of Wisconsin University, came to this college last fall, well recommended by his school, and has taken hold of his work here in an enviable manner. The home science department also was the victim of circumstances. A vacancy, due to Miss Florence Brown’s acceptance of a better position at the Agricultural College of Utah, left unfilled the position of home science assistant. Miss Brown came to this college as a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, also having taken a post graduate course at the Teachers’ College at Columbia University. While here she took hearty interest in her work and was a general favorite among all she was associated with and it was with much regret that the college allowed her to leave. Again disappointment turned to jay for the college was most fortunate in obtaining for this position Miss Abigail Hess, graduate of University of Illinois, and one who has had vast experience in this course. She came to this institution well versed in all the sciences and has proven herself deserving of all recommendations offered. In the Art department Mrs. Edna Gage was obliged to give up her work and in her place Miss Lana A. Baldwin came to us, not as a stranger but as one who has given instruction in art in the Bozeman public schools so successfully that the college was very fortunate to obtain so competent a person. In the music department Mr. Evvald Sontum came last year from the east to act as professor of the department, but this year he resigned to take up concert work in Butte. This position is now-well filled by Mr. Paul P. McXeelv, a graduate of the Kansas State University. Xow since the college has been so successful in obtaining such able and efficient instructors, may these become so attached to this institution that they will not find it necessary to sever their connections with M. S. C., but will strive to keep up to the standards and traditions of this institution. Page 27 Page 28 NINETEEN TWELVE (Dfttrrrs President .... YM. !. TKKMl'Elt. Vice-President ....

September 12. 1907, as slowly and timidly small groups of Freshmen came into the old Hall to register. A week passed and plot and intrigue began. On the morning of September 18. as the first Freshman climbed the hill, a flag waved from the steeple of College 1 iall and the numerals 10 were conspicuous upon it. The first two lectures were not well attended that morning and after 10:30 a general holiday ensued. After hours of toilsome labor a hero of 'll climbed up the steeple and removed the disgraceful banner. Then a mighty battle started. Down through the stair and halls 10 and 11 fought and out near the electric laboratory a two hour struggle took place, the lTs retaining practically all of the flag. After this the Freshmen were more at home. A big party was held bv 11 at Martin’s hall. 10 came in a body and a joyous “scrap began. On the dark street 11 and 10 were locked in battle, 'file cops arrived with drawn “billies and the mob was slowly dispersed. 10 came back again and were cordially received by tlie guardians of the law. A resting place for the night was provided them at the city hall but 11 went in a body and secured tluir release. The next great occasion wa- the tug of war over the station “frog pond. A mighty cable was secured and stretched over the deep dark water. Twenty-six Freshmen versus twenty-six Sophomores. As the pistol cracked the great rope tightened and broke with the enormous strain. A new one was secured, being two inches in diameter and of finest Manila fibre. Again the pistol cracked and in ten minutes ’10 and 11 wasted 10.000 H. P. without either side gaining a victory. The class was reduced to forty at the beginning of the Sophomore year. In turn we nailed our flag to the highest point on the hall and tile 12’s with the aid of the faculty tore it down. Again a battle or. the campus and a rending of clothing. ’ll party and 12 visits in a body; the doors of Maxwell - hall not Page 29 THE MONTANAN designed to resist great impact; only four ll's in the hall when '12 secures entrance by breaking in the doors; the arrival of the law saved the refreshments that night. Roundups,'' calculus and exams played havoc with the class and at the beginning of the Junior year only about thirty answered roll call. Mechanics. Higher Plane Curves and good positions took a few more. Our greatest undertaking during this year was the “Junior Annual ' Two of our number worked incessantly to make the annual a success and the result was the best “Montanan ever turned out. The Senior year found only twenty of the old class back, l ive more were added to this number, students who had either changed courses or had remained out a year. Our first class president and the editor of the 'll Montanan left the class in the middle of the Senior year, having accepted a good position in the Schlechten Studio. Only a third of the original class w ill bid adieu to M. S. C. in June 1911. WILLIAM ( U KEN TREMPEK. Helena High School, 03. Civil Engineering Miosis: Design of Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridge.

She asserts that one who has had such experience is able to bluff with a much straighter face than the one not so favored.

ISiiatortj OR two years the class of 1913 have been before the public, irresponsible Freshmen and irresistable Sophomores. During the first year of our college existence the black and gold waved triumphant over several hard fought conflicts. 'The struggle for the 13 s banner was a memorable combat held just east cl Main hall. The party at K. C. hall, the basketball game with the ' 2's, the wrestling matches, ami the debate with the Sophomores, all being victories for the 13’s. Then there were times when the black and gold was borne in defeat, but proudly even then For we remember being burned in effigy, the ’10s defeated us in basketball, and in the interclass track meet we met defeat. Last, but not least, the greater part passed the examinations and. with some very worthy recruits, we sallied forth in September. 1910. to start the second year of our college life. During the year 1910-11 we have been represented as follows: In debating—Myrtle Alderson, Vera Anderson and Gilbert Griffith won the laurels in the Freshman-Sophomore debate; in football—Ned Chambers and Cassius Kirk wear the A and are worthy representatives of the Sophomores; in basketball—Brook Hartman and Ralph Brabrook represent us on the college team, while George Biinn. Luke iiiil and Ned Chambers rendered worthy assistance in wresting victory from the Freshmen and Juniors. On the Exponent staff we are ably represented by Ned Chambers, Rhoda Dawes and Margaret Bole. In the annual class rivalry, the Freshmen trod the depths of the frog porid after a strenuous and nervy defense for supremacy in the tug of war. In the exciting and spirited contest over the tin elephant, which wore the 13 blanket, the Freshmen and Sophomores decided to call it a draw. A prophetic autobiography would require several volumes. We hope the history of the days to come does not disappoint the confidence which you should have in us, and which we have in ourselves.

From all parts of the state and from places as far distant as Xew York and Massachusetts, came our bunch, all anxious either to drink the dregs of the cup of knowledge or to secure a college education, most desiring the latter. Our formal debut into college society took place on the evening of September 30 at the joint Y. M. and Y. Y. C. A. reception, where we appeared in all our childish dignity, the boys in knee pants, each riding his favorite stick horse and the girls in short dresses, each with her favorite doll. The next event of importance was the tug-of-war with the Sophs. Though it was to be held over the frog pond, whose waters were becoming chilly, the men of the class were not daunted. They responded one and all and reported on October 4 at the hanks of the froggery, while the rest of the college came to cheer their favorites on. The faculty, being anxious to stay with their classes, were there too. At the crack of a pistol we began to pull. Ye pulled and pulled. For several minutes we pulled and the 13s were staring into the icy waters at their feet. Then we pulled some more and the Sophs began their “Yo-Heave —(Great and long continued groans from the 14s'). Thus ends this event. For several weeks we had been trying to rent a hall so we could have a class party, but, evidently having had experience with former class Page 61 THE MONTANAN parties, nobody would take chances with us. However, we must have our party. So we arranged a straw ride and left Bozeman without disturbing the Sophs. Reports have it, that, desiring to entertain us, they searched the town that night. However, we enjoyed the trip anyway. and. at about the same time that they weie searching, we were drinking their health around a big camp-fire on Middle Creek. After this things ran smoothly for several weeks. The football season closed and it is worthy of mention that several of our band did good work on the gridiron. Snow fell and winter began in earnest. Nothing was happening to break the monotony. Then one fine winter morning our little band discovered Old Jumbo” perched above the door of the College hall calmly enjoying our discomforture as we read the large black '13‘ on his back. This brought to our minds the fact that there was a Sophomore class and we gave them our attention. After a fierce and hitter struggle Jumbo was dislodged from his lofty position, and, not being overly proud of the numerals on his back, immediately severed connections with them. Then for half an hour, on the snow covered campus the 13s fought valiantly, trying to secure possession of the terrains of their beloved Jumbo. Forth and back the armies surged. But neither side could get him safely away. Therefore, after much bloodshed a compromise was effected, and for several days the tin of contention was displayed from the bulletin board. The time had now arrived when we were to have the annual word war with the 13s. Great interest was shown in this event and it was as fiercely fought as the baitle over poor Jumbo. The class showed its spirit by the help and encouragement they gave their debaters and by being on hand full force, to yell for them. But, the decision. Well, the 14s came out second best, but not without honors. The class remained intact after the semester finals and to celebrate the event, enjoyed a bob-sled party to the Entorf home near Belgrade. The next night the young men of the class were the chief source of amusement at the annual stag party and the young ladies acted in the same capacity at the doe’s party. During the basketball season we had a very good team on the floor and throughout the season lost but one game. Our class is very evenly divided among the different departments of the college and we are well represented in every line of college activity. So far we have endeavored to acquit ourselves creditably in all our undertakings, and after four years of old M. S. C. we hope to be a real credit to the institution. S. S. Page 62 NINETEEN TWELVE ffhtsiral Armors m L’SIC is evidently a necessity of our existence, and the more taste for it is developed in its highest form the greater will be our appreciation of the good and the beautiful. The truth of this quotation from llerreros must have appealed to the founder of the Montana State College, for a few months after the establishment of the institution, the Department of Music was organized with Miss Kate F. Calvin at the head of it. The studio was in the old Academy building and only piano was taught. The first public recital was given in the Academy building in the winter of 1896 and thereafter recitals were given each month. Under the care of Miss Calvin, the department attained a high degree of success and a complete four years course was arranged. During the absence of Miss Calvin in Germany, her place was filled by Mrs. Y. F. Brewer who, during her year of work, organized a choral class for the purpose of studying note reading and chorus singing. In the meantime the musical department had moved from its old quarters to its new ones on the third floor of the Main hall, and the recitals were given in the new Assembly room. i his change seemed to give increased vigor to the department, and in the next few years many musical societies were organized. Among these might be mentioned the Boys’ Glee Club, Band, Guitar and Mandolin Club. Treble Cleft Club and Oratorio Club. Aside from the increased activity in musical society and clubs, a course in vocal was offered to the students with Mrs. Lester Robinson, nee Miss Wilfred Kinney, as instructor. In the fall of 1904 Professor Arthur F. Oliver, a graduate of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, was appointed to take the place of Miss Calvin. Since that time there have been numerous changes in both departments of music. At the present there arc three instructors on vocal and two piano. The department is making an enviable name for itself, largely through its graduates. These students have gone out and done excellent work in this state, as well as in other states. Each year since 1901 has seen one or more graduates who alone speak for the excellence of the department. It must be confessed that the musical organizations arc not as numerous now as they were in former years. For instance, in 1(K)2 the college could boast of the best Glee Club of boys in the slate, and at the present there is none. This can probably be accounted for in the fact that the students have taken up so many other activities that they have little Page 63 THE MONTANAN time lor any more organizations. Notwithstanding this tact, the musical department is growing steadily and the work is always par excellent as is shown in the frequent recitals of the students and the few musical organizations of which we arc justly proud.

Page 66 Page 67 THE MONTANAN Looking eagerly forward to their own advent into college proper the students of the Preparatory department have this year, even more than usual, become imbued with an enthusiastic spirit of devotion to the institution and have identified themselves with every progressive movement. The department is now on a four year basis and offers a strong course along the lines laid down by the Montana State Board of Education for secondary schools. Being connected with the leading institution of higher education in the state, many facilities for laboratory work are offered which are not available in other schools of similar standard. The age limit being also removed, it serves to attract many students who would be excluded from attending or would be unwilling io attend a high school. During the year now rapidly drawing to a close, the department l,as successfully planned and executed a number of interesting events. It had a strong basketball team, but was excluded from the tournament bv the interscholastic rules. Its annual declamatory contest for the Armstrong prize was of high character.

They took a great fancy to ancient history and mechanism, due to the loving influence of the teachers of those subjects. Though they were most interested in the mental and physical development they did not neglect the spiritual and the social, but took an active part in the work of the Christian societies, and the way they carried on their social functions was by no means slow. The Philomathian Literary society also received their earnest support. This year has been marked by increased interest in football, basketball and track. It is hoped that next year wili find them still more active in leading their department. Page 70 NINETEEN TWELVE president Vico-President Secretary Treasurer William Allison, llutli Brinkman. Chaa.

They came flocking to the main building, where Ma” Cantwell pronounced a sentence upon them. After finding boarding places they began their college life, with a spirit so independent that they would at first not act together, but they soon realized their folly and organized. They were very much interested in foot ball and started to practice as soon as Mac could furnish them with an outfit. They certainly made good; one of their number received his A for football this fall, having made the first team; another was made captain of the second team. But that wasn’t all. in the Prep track they got first place. It is hoped that they will continue as they have started.

XX the early fall of 1010. there came to Bozeman some strange looking boys and girls. These boys and girls are none other than first Preps. They had come to Bozeman from all parts of the country to attend M. S. C. Some came from the cities but the greater number were from the country. They had many disadvantages to face, not being used to college customs and were therefore subject to much embarrassment. But they have outgrown all this and have made good. They have shown up good in Prep, football, basket ball, track and declamatory, especially the last named, Pauline McYey having taken second prize; a fourth prep taking first. This shows the ambitious character of our first preparatory class, and the manner in which they get together tor all important issues. They are equally enthusiastic in promoting the interests of the preparatory in general. Page 72 NINETEEN TWELVE i luirt (Dmtrsrs HOLLOWING out the precedent established by the older institu-tutions which include agriculture in their curriculum, this college offers a number of short courses, somewhat elementary in nature, but designed to give the student a foundation in scientific knowledge of the particular branch covered by the course. The specialists on the faculty give their attention to these courses, tints giving the students tiie advantage of expert instruction and demonstration. As is indicated by the pictures of those enrolled in these different courses on the succeeding pages, a great many young people are reached in this way. thus extending the field of usefulness of the college. The school of agriculture is first in rank of these short couise;. offering three years of six months each in the different sciences underlying agriculture. As an eight grade education is required for entrance into this course, it is about on a par with a high school in the beginning. An intermediate course of two years duration is offered to the graduates of this department, fitting them for entrance into college proper. For many years a one year course in domestic science has been offered to those not fitted to enter the regular four year course, and as usual it this year attracted a number of young ladies. The term for this course is of the same length as the regular college year. During several years past there has been given in January and February a series of lectures and laboratory demonstration divided up into what is known as the horse school, lasting from January 23 to 29 this year; the poultry school, lasting from January 30 to February 4: and the creamery course, from February 6 to March 4. These are all in a large way supplementary to the farmers' institutes which are carried on under the direction of Prof. F. S. Cooley of the college. The better farming special forms another link in this chain of public and widespread scientific agricultural education.

Klirlice llainihon. ffiistury HOR a number of years there has been offered to the young ladies of Montana a short course in home science, requiring a year for completion and admitting girls who had completed the eighth grade. The course has always been quite popular and this year was no exception. The girls who are enrolled for this work have little opportunity for taking part in regular college affairs, owing to the briefness of the period in which they arc connected with the institution. However, there is no lack of enthusiasm among the members of the class, and all that they can do to further college interests is done. The class this year did not organize regularly, finding plenty of society work in other ways. Those who have preceded the present class have found the work a decided advantage and they look back with pleasant thoughts upon their stay at the College. The work is under the regular instructors of the Home Science department. Page 75 THE MONTANAN iinrsr £ rbnnl — W0 BOL T ninety horsemen attended the series of lectures given ■T I under the name of the Horse School the latter part of January. M The purpose of the course is to give popular instruction in the care of horses and it attracted students from all over the state. President Hamilton entertained those in attendance at a banquet given at the Bozeman Hotel, at the close of the week of instruction. The prospects for next year are that there will be a much greater attendance. 'I'lie lectures were given bv Professors Taylor, Clark. Schoppc. Griffin and others. Page 76 NINETEEN TWELVE 3Farnmx SnstitvAes A TYPICAL GATHERING AT A SESSION OF THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE aXDER the direction of Prof. 1 . S. Cooley, a series oi Fanners' Institutes are held at the more important towns of the state each year. At these institutes there are always a number ot lecturers from the college and station staff and also some prominent and successful farmers of the state. This year Mrs. Mina E. Stoner was also one of the speakers, representing the scientific work in home science. The work attracts a large proportion of the thoughtful farmers of the state, as well as many who are in other lines of business. Through this method the value of the Agricultural departments of the State College is augmented and the fanners are given valuable instruction and advice which they could secure in no other way. The work extends throughout the greater part of the college year. As a supplement to the Farmers’ Institutes, the past year saw the big Corn Growing Contest, also under the supervision of Professor Cooley. Many of the young people were in this way interested in the culture, on scientific lines, of field crops, and thus an interest in agriculture was fostered. Page 77 THE MONTANAN Hotter Jarntuuj imperial HAST June the State College conducted its first Better Farming Special through the state along the route of the Northern Pacific Railway, that road providing the cars and running the train free of charge to this institution. The precedent established at that time proved so popular that it was repeated this year, the principal differences being in the time of the trip, it occuring this time from March 20 to 31. in the equipment, which was much increased this year, and in the fact that transportation charges were paid by the college. The train was in general charge of F. S. Cooley, superintendent of Fanners’ Institutes, and the staff of lecturers included for a part or all of the trip: President J. M. Hamilton, of the College; F. i . Linfield. of the Experiment Station: Superintendent F. S. Cooley. Professors Alfred Atkinson, agronomist; R. A. Cooley, state entomologist: R. Y. Clark, of the animal industry department; Y. M. Cobleigh. head chemist: I). B. Swingle, of the botanical department; O. B. Whipple, horticulturalist: and Y. J. Taylor, veterinarian. Others from liie college who assisted on the train in lectures or otherwise were II. E. Morris. J. R. Parker. F. G. Schcrmerhorn. II. P. Griffin. V. F. Schoppe. H. M. Bouebright. R. C. Jones and C.

Page 82 NINETEEN TWELVE Nummary Atljlrtira 13111-1311 OX the following pages will be found more or less accurate and complete accounts, pictorial and written, of athletic activities at the College during the past year. It might here be said that, though emphasis may ha e been placed on certain members of the teams, or on the team as a whole which seems too great in comparison with the other members or with the scrub teams which helped to produce the college representatives, the spirit of commendation of those who have prepared these pages has gone out to all alike. It is an accepted fact that upon the degree of faithfulness of the •‘scrubs in any competition which requires training depends the final success of tiie first team. That much credit is due those who compose this secondary material is putting it mildly. 1� lias been the particular good fortune of M. S. C. to have in all its departments of athletics a goodly turnout of candidates during the past year. These men are partly the foundation for future teams and altogethci the foundation of the teams for which they compete. To them then this page i dedicated. It is the feeling of the writer that this somewhat veiled mention of those secondary and highly contributory sources is absolutely inadequate and that more attention is due them. Frenzied finance, the high cost of living, and the lack of space enough for all of the desirable features form the only plea which can be put forth for this apparent neglect. All who have been in touch with athletic conditions at this C ollege during the year just closing realize that there has been a better grade of and more thorough coaching offered in all the different branenes than ever before. To a large extent Athletic Director John H. McIntosh is responsible for the great improvement in this respect. Others who have contributed nobly to the work are L. G. Schermerhorn, . 1 . Schoppe and H. P. Griffin in football; Wm. Hartman ‘08 in basketball and. A. A. Dier in track. Page 83 Page 84 NINETEEN TWELVE Big Court Sheriff made one of the best football leaders the State College ever sent onto the gridiron. He had the misfortune to land on crutches in the middle of the 190) season, but his showing in the early games of that year was such a to stamp him the man for the 1910 captaincy. I le played brilliantly at right tackle last fall. Receiving a wrench of his old ankle just before the Mines game in Butte he was unable to accompany the team and his absence was sorely felt by his mates. He was at the front in all the other games of the 1910 season, however, and with his 200 pounds of bone and muscle, his grit and head-work he was the unanimous choice of the critics for all-Montana tackle. “Cap is 6 feet tall and weighs 200. lie will probably play his fourth year of College football next fall and should outclass any other tackle in Montana. “Bill Tremper is known in a football sense for his earnestness in play and his savage attack and defense. lie came to the State College from the Helena high school where he had not even a smattering of knowledge of the game. After a football silence of two years the College put out a team in the fall of 1908 and Tremper was one of the first to offer his services. He earned, a tackle’s job that fall and was known as one of the surest ground gainers on the squad. The season 1909 found Tremper alternating at guard and tackle. In addition to his playing duties last fall the duties of manager were tacked on and “Bill had his hands full. Page 85 THE MONTANAN Xecl Chambers is the new captain of the State College football team and those who know him and appreciate his determination and enthusiasm, believe he will prove a capable successor to Cap” Sheriff. Xed is one of the lightest players in the state, tipping the beam at 133. stripped. But he is strong as steel wire, absolutely fearless and inspires confidence in the others, lie came to Montana from Pennsylvania where he had played high school football. He alternated at quarter on the 1909 team at M. S. C. and last fall played end where he earned the spurs—the best in the state. Jack Taylor might well be called “The Reliable.” He isn’t loud in any sense of the word, but lie’s there when it comes to delivering the goods, and that applies to football as well as other lines of endeavor. Taylor weighs 175 in his football togs. lie is one of the fastest men on the squad and with his long stride covers ground rapidly. He wiil be a Senior next year and should wind up his football career as one of the best ends in the northwest. When Ed. Hodgskiss reported for football duty in the fall of 1908 he was as verdant as the grass-green sweater he wore and as the coach used to put it. He didn’t know a football from a pumpkin. To see Iling play now one wouldn’t believe that. And by the way that nickname Bing must have started from the sound that reaches the side-line when Hodgskiss collides with the opposing center. He stands an even 6 feet and weighs 180. and will be a member of the 1911 team. Page 86 NINETEEN TWELVE Shorty” Vol; crt played his first College football last fall. Also Shorty made good with a vengeance. Wolpert is of the stocky type, the top of his head barely gracing the 5 foot. 6 mark, but he '.ins the beam at 155 and is rough and strong as a youthful bull dog. Shorty” was generally voted one of the best half backs in the state last fall and lie's going to better that record next fall. In some of the press comments last fall Dutch Dahling was termed the dashing halfback” and the appellation fits him to a T. It was Dutch's” first year with the team. The year previous he had worked with the scrubs just to help out. He helped out last fall. too. but in a more prominent way. His slashing style of running with the ball and his fierce tackling made him one of the most dreaded halfbacks in the state. i!e is fast and well put up for a backfield man. playing at 160 pounds. Tubbs Truitt came within an ace of going to W isconsin last fall, but he changed his mind and Wisconsin’s loss is the State College's gain. Tubbs” was the smallest College tackle m the state last fall—lie is only 5 feet, 6, and weighs 150 when in shape, lint weight isn’t everything as some f tlie giants who opposed Tubbs” found out. He is heady and fast and never works the same trick twice. He will make a valuable man for the 1911 team which, from this distance, is stamped a winner. Page S 7 THE MONTANAN WILLIAMS George Williams came direct from Iowa last fall where he had played high school football, and it wasn't long before his speed had earned for him quarterback position. Me was a brilliant open field runner and a snappy player and when, in mid-season he was put out of the game through an accident, his loss was keenly felt. If steadfastness, buli strength, a combination of speed and aggressiveness. and cool judgment go to make up a man for guard's position on a football team, Cassius Kirk is that man. Cassius played a little football as a member of the Gallatin county high school eleven and on entering the college took a hand in the ranks of the scrubs. Last year he became interested and won a guard position. BRITTAN KIRK John Brittan's loss from the football team was a sad blow to the college’s prospects, accompanied as it was by the withdrawal of Williams from the quarterback position and the consequent shifting of the entire team. Brit-tan played at the fullback position. 'Fhe State College boasted the youngest player on any college team in the northwest last fall. He was “Young Esp who. when the season opened, had just turned 16. Esp has the making of a strong, plunging fullback. ESP Page 88 NINETEEN TWELVE THE LINEUP THAT TIED THE VARSITY Jfflflthall j$pa� nn nf 1919 o H E football season began about September 10 with 25 men in uniform, all of whom, with the exception of Chambers, Taylor, Hodgskiss, Sheriff and Tremper were new, untried men. The material was very light, but, after a week or two of practice, the rapidity of the work which the new team was doing made the prospects look bright. Coaches McIntosh. Schermcrhorn and Schoppe had gotten together a bunch that looked like a good one and were working it hard to get ready for the Mines game. Ilut we started bad. Butte High School, 0; College, 3. The Butte High school was the first opponent and, though the boys were handicapped in not being able to use the style of play that they had been drilling on. for they were reserving this for the Mines game, yet there was some disappointment in their not scoring a touchdown. Williams won for us by a neat drop kick from the 35-vard line. Sheriff’s work at tackle was exceptionally good in this game. M. S. S. M., 14; College, 0. With Captain Sheriff out of the game, and both ends in a badly crippled condition, victory could not be hoped for when the team left to play the first game of the intercollegiate series with the Mines in Butte. 1 hey beat us by a score of 14 to 0. During the first ten minutes of play Page 89 THE MONTANAN FIRST AND SECOND SQUADS we worked the hall into llic Mines territory and Williams decided to try tor a field goal, hut missed by a small margin. University, 0; College, 0. On the following Saturday. Oct. 22. the team met the confident varsity on the home grounds and completely outplayed them, though unable to score. This was by far the best game of the season and the new style of football made a decided hit with the spectators. Time and again the machine-like work of the College carried the ball within striking distance of the varsity goal, but here a fumble, an intercepted pass, or an unsuccessful try for field goal would give the ball to the Varsity t.nd they would punt out of danger. The work of Williams. Dahling. Wol-pert and Brittan behind the line was of the finest type and the team looked like a winner. Williams distinguished himself by his clever running back of punts and his wide end runs. Time and again he would dodge or shake off half a dozen tacklers before being downed. Dahiing' smashing end runs added many a yard to the college total, and showed that his place was permanently in the backtield. Wolpert picked his holes like a veteran and grabbed every forward pass that the visitors sent his way. Brittan was a tower of strength on defense and he hit the line with a crash that echoed from old Baldy and struck the ears of the spectators like the report of a twelve gun salute from the I . S. dreadnought Nebraska. Page 90 NINETEEN TWELVE EVERY MAN FIGHTING HARD The result of this first game with every regular player in his position was certainly promising and it looked like an M. S. C. championship. But now came the regrettable loss of two of the men about whom the team had been built, and this one fact can be put down as the direct cause of the final defeat in football. John Brittan was compelled to leave school to assist his father in running the Brittan ranch, and though Esp was doing fine work for a green man. the absence of Brittan at full weakened the team noticeably. Williams had to drop out of the game at this time on account of numerous injuries, and his loss was felt keenly. This meant that the whole season's training up to this time went to nought. Shifts had to be made in the line-up. and new men added to the team. M. S. S. M., 0; College 0. Another tie game was added to the list of 1910 on the following Friday, when the Mines came over here. Neither team was able to cross the coveted chalk line, though time and again a long run or a splendidly executed pass would bring the spectators to the highest state o: enthusiasm. Both Dahling and Wolpcrt made some pretty end runs. Culler-ton of the Mines received a pretty pass from Cullity on punt formation and threatened to score but was stopped by Captain Sheriff on the College six yard line where the College held and punted out of danger. Fhe game was even more open in character than the previous ones seen here. From thirteen to fifteen forward passes were tried during the Page 91 THE MONTANAN LONG RUN BY DAHLING game with more or less success, the college excelling in this department. The College had somewhat the better of the argument and should have won. Sure scoring plays seemed lacking, and the coaches decided to develop place kickers and trick plays ior that purpose. Utah A. C., 19; College 0. )n Wednesday, November 9. the last game of any note to be played on the home grounds resulted in a severe defeat of our team at the hands cl the Utah A. C. The terrific attack of the Mormons completely bewildered our boys. During the first fifteen minutes of play thirteen points scored against us by means of two touchdowns and a pretty field goal from the 35 yard line. The poor tackling of the local team and the surplus speed of the Utah boys made possible long gains off tackle and around the ends. The teamwork of the visitors was undoubtedly the finest ever seen on the local field. Egbert, at half, made some splendid gains off tackle. Lindsay, his running mate, though not so spectacular, was more consistent in his gains. Crookston, at full, repeatedly plunged through the line for good yardage. These three, with Broussard, the quarter, worked together like a well oiled machine. Paddock, who played tackle for the visitors, distinguished himself by his place kicking. Though but one attempt of four was successful, all were well executed. Paddock is a Montana man who has strayed from his native slate into the Mormon fold. For the College. Wolpert came the nearest to doing good work. Tay- P a g e 9 2 NINETEEN TWELVE lor grabbed a pretty pass and YVolpert secured the necessary yardage for the only first down the College made during the game. This game exhibited the college team in the worst slump ever experienced by the wearers of the gold and blue. University, 10; College, 0. On Thanksgiving Day we lost the final game of the season to the Varsity at Missoula by a score of 10 to 0. The scoring was all done in the first half, and though the blue and gold fought hard and had a good deal the advantage during the second half, they were unable to cross the line. The defensive work of Dornblazer. who had not played against us previously, was of a grade never before exhibited in the state. Littie, the Varsity end. was a marvel at grabbing forward passes and running back punts. For the College Wade received passes cleverly, Dahling and Wolpcrt made nice gains around end. the latter annexing 22 yards on one attempt. Line plunges proved tiselss. because of Dornblazcr’s defense. At a football banquet given by President Hamilton and Coach McIntosh Friday evening. December 9. the season was formally closed. The coaches were presented with handsome watch fobs as a token of the appreciation of the services and devotion to the team. Plans were discussed for the fallowing year and Ned Chambers, who was taken from his real postion of end to fill the duties of quarter during the last of the season, was elected to the captaincy of the team for the season of 1911. The work of the retiring captain, Court Sheriff, for this and other seasons was highly commended by the different speakers of the evening. lie was the unanimous choice for all-state tackle and always commanded the full respect of his men.

THE MONTANAN 1910-11 laskrtball 8 rafiim HE basketball season of 1910-11 ended with M the fast quintette of the Montana State College undisputed intercollegiate champions of Montana. To say that this was true simply because no games could be arranged with the other colleges of the state would not be fair to the efforts of the high calibre team which represented the College during the past season. It was a plain case of recognized supremacy to the extent that the other teams would not risk a contest. In the early games of the season, which took place between this college and the Montana Wesleyan team of Helena, the State College five showed its form to be right up to that which has allowed the College to grasp the sixth consecutive championship. Though the team lost four out of five of the star aggregation of which it was made up last year, the end of the season recently closed found it not one whit weaker than a year before. With Annin, of the 1909 quint, as captain and the nucleus about which the team should grow, the outlook at the season's beginning was not a gloomy one at all. This marvelously active player and born leader was a conspicuous figure on the Drill Hall floor this season for the third yeai. As a running mate for Annin. Brook Hartman. 13. was placed by many of the fans in Bozeman as equal to the famous Sloan, who vacated that position by his graduation with the class of 1910. Hartman and Annin had a system of team work down that was little short of bewildering. SMFRIFF Page 96 The College has never been represented by two better all round centers than Brabrook and W ilson, i'he former was absolutely careless of results in following his opponent and the ball every minute he was in the game. Wilson had a knack of shooting long field baskets seldom seen on a basketball floor. strong player throughout is but a fair estimate of him. The team which supported the gold and blue on the Drill JI all floor this past season was dis tinctively a close guarding one. The College was fortunate to have Sheriff in this department of the game. With surprising speed for his weight, he was able to serve the College as an excellent guard. Donaldson ably filled out the other side of the guarding end. lie was one of the mainstays of last year’s scrubs, and wos booked by students and coach to make good with a vengeance this year. That he did so was evidenced by the low scores made by his opponent in each game he played. Teamwork was more noticeable this year than last. Xo dissension marred the smoothness of the play viewed from from every standpoint the team and the season was an undeniable success. It would be unfair in extreme to pass over the season just completed without a mention of the part the scrub played in the team’s development. They were always out in goodly numbers and in the best of spirit did all in their power to round out the champion team.

Although quite an undertaking to raise the necessary SJ.50C the committee in charge went about ttie work with a vim and got the sum pledged from the business houses and from the people on the Hill. The sixteen competing teams began pouring into the city the day before the meet. Everything that was possible in the way of entertaining the visitors was done by the college force. A student delegation met each team at the depot, despite the fact that some of the players did not get into Bozeman till late in the evening, or early in the morning. From then on each team had an escort who served as guides for the high school students in showing them around the college and the city, acting as an information bureau for the numerous questions which were asked them from Thursday morning till Saturday evening. The games were carried out in a way that would do credit to any institution, there being no instance in the entire fifteen contests which made up the scries where a team complained about the way the games were handled, the officiating, or any other feature. These games were played afternoons or evenings of Thursday and Friday when the preliminary contests and semi-finals were completed, and Saturday afternoon the two teams left by the elimination process fought it out for the slate championship title, and a loving cup offered by the Pease Company. Friday morning of the big athletic carnival all the teams and extemporaneous speakers with the various chaperones and rooters were taken over the entire college grounds and inspected the arious and numerous buildings. Thursday and Friday were holidays for the college students and in return for this favor from the faculty everyone united in helping the visitors get acquainted with each other and the student body. The shops were all working and the laboratories in working order so that a fair idea of the colleeg equipment and apparatus could be obtained. One of the important features of the tournament was a gigantic parade in which more than five hundred students lined up on Main street and presented a formidable array for the support of higher eucation. In Page 102 NINETEEN TWELVE mis procession were members of the college, students from the local high school, and all the visiting teams. The college regimental band which furnished music for the entire session, headed this opening number of the big celebration. Another of the events on the program which could not be overlooked, inasmuch as it did a great deal toward sending the students home with a better opinion of the college, was a reception and dance at the Elks hall the last evening of the tourney. Over four hundred were present at this social function, where the greater part of the evening was spent in dancing, or for those who did not enjoy this pastime there were various card tables in working order. At this time the prizes were awarded to the various winners. And so the first interscholastic basketball tournament eclipsed in its working out the most optimistic dreams of its promoters. A new thing —it brought a new epoch in the history of the high schools of the state. From now on it will be an annual event at ihc college. The slogan of everyone for next year is a bigger and better basket ball tournament.’ BILLINGS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM. HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS OF MONTANA Mann.

Page 105 THE MONTANAN VIEWS OF THE BIG PARADE WHICH OPENED THE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT NINETEEN TWELVE Jurat triangular trark iHrrt OX the 10th of May. 1910. at the athletic field of the Montana Slate University was held the first triangular meet between that school, the State School of Mines and the Montana State College. The event came in conjunction with the annual interschol-astic track meet at the same place, and after many close rubs the University won out with a score of 65 points. This college was second with 45 and the School of Mines brought up the rear with 16. Barring the distance events the team which represented the gold and blue of this college had the better of the argument ail the way through. The slender Annin sprung a surprise by taking first place in the shot put and the same athlete had little trouble in besting Ryan of the 'Varsity in the high jump. Then by taking second place in both the hurdle events Annin won the distinction of being the individual champion of the meet. Mis score was 16 points. Pool. Sleeman, Clark, Bra-brook. Donaldson and Taylor divided the remainder of the College’s .‘■core between them. Pool being second to Annin in the meet with 14 points. The meet was a decided success and arrangement for its duplication this year have already been completed. Page 107 THE MONTANAN TRACK SQUAD. 1910 First row—Millcgan, Morgan. (!..

Page 113 Page 114 Page 115 THE MONTANAN Page 116 NINETEEN TWELVE Alumni Association QOT only has this College a strong faculty, a strong student body. but it also boasts of a strong alumni. With more than a hundred graduates of the four year courses and with hundreds of others who have taken shorter courses or who have not finished the full four years work, the institution can truthfully claim the biggest body of former students of any institution in the state. Xot only that, but its graduates, while all young, are holding some of the best positions in their professions and are rapidly mounting the ladder of success. In the alumni association proper, there are perhaps a fortieth part of the total number of these former students, only those who have completed the work and received a degree being eligible. This organization, too. is young, and can only boast of three years existence. In that short time it has succeeded in perfecting its organization and during this year in particular has taken an active part in promoting the interests of the institution. Its influence was particularly felt last fall in the campaign for the passage of the tax amendment to the state constitution, which resulted favorably largely because of the faithful efforts of the alumni association of this college and also pi the able work done by the faculty and student body. The business of the Association is largely conducted through its executive committee, though good work has always been done by li.e other officers. Election of officers and changes in the constitution and by-laws are accomplished through written ballots. All important proceedings and moves undertaken in the name of the Association arc first submitted to the members for approval. The officers for the past year have been: President. W. F. Sloan, 03, Chicago, III. Vice-President, Edna Maynard Morris. 00. Bozeman. Secretary-Treasurer, H. Elwood Morris, ‘09, Bozeman. Corresponding Secretary, Annie Breneman. 07. Bozeman.

Page 117 Page 118 THE MONTANAN QJtuU laigtttms’ i£ nrirty Civil Engineer's Society is now beginning its third year. ■ C j During the past year regular monthly meetings have been held. at which very interesting engineering subjects have been presented. An effort has been made to secure practical, successful engineers as speakers. Among them were Mr. C. M. Thorpe. C. E., who spoke on “Uncharted Problems met with in Land Surveying.'' and Mr. Wm. Hartman. '08. on the Panama Canal. The latter, as he had spent considerable time on the Canal Zone, was able to give first hand knowledge and experiences. The prime object of the society is to make the members familiar with the different branches of work that arc being followed by practicing engineers. Also an understanding of the relations of theory to actual practice is attained. On Feb. 24, 'll. the second annual assembly program was given. Although it was the first experience of the speakers in like events, a very creditable showing was made and the program said to be a great success. The society now numbers twenty-seven active members, four of whom will graduate this year. Although the past year has been the most satisfactory in the history of the organization, still greater success is looked forward to.

Prof. Thaler spoke of the work of the Club and of the advantages 01 becoming a student member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Regular meetings have been held since then and several valuable lectures given. Some of those who have addressed the society on engineering problems are Mr. I. H. Seigfried of the Missouri Power Co.; Mr. H. H. Cochrane, of the Butte Electric and Power Co.; Mr. Rosenblatt. of the W'estinghouse Co.; Mr. C. L. Zahm, of the Interstate Independent Telephone Co. One meeting each year, usually in the spring, is taken up by an inspection trip to the Madison Rover Power Co.’s sub-station and the booster station of the Gallatin Valley Electric R. R. Co., through an invitation extended by Mr. Livingston, the local manager. These trips are of much practical value as the apparatus and its operation is thoroughly explained. Since the organization of the Club in 1907. three Electrical Shows have been held, the first one in the spring of 1908. These shows arc very interesting and instructive and are always well attended by visitors. However, believing that a good thing should not be run into tiie ground, it was voted not to hold the show this year. Next year the show will be bigger and better than ever as considerable new apparatus will have been added to the department by that time.

Page 123 THE MONTANAN GRIC HE Agricultural Club is glad to announce that the past year has a | been one of the most progressive and successful in its history. The meetings have been very regular and the attendance good. A great deal of interest has been manifested by those taking part in the programs, making them unusually interesting as well as instructive. The subject matter is prepared by the members and consists largely of current agricultural topics. During the last year the membership has been limited to those students taking four year courses in agriculture. The meetings are always open to any one who is interested in these topics any they have been attended by many of the short course students. The Club has also organized a book supply company which furnishes School supplies to all those taking agricultural courses as well as to the faculty members of these courses. As this has been so successfully conducted during the first year of its existence it is assured that it will be a source of great benefit to the students. The second Assembly program was given Friday, February 10. It was with some precaution that the Club first undertook these programs, but with the success of these two the intentions arc to make them a regular annual affair.

CONDITIONS, considered extremely propitious, resulted in the re-organization of the club, whose members’ faces appear on this page, a little more than a year ago. The purpose of the new Club is to promote interest in and knowledge of home economics. Only those taking the home science course arc eligible and of these practically everyone is an active member. The activities of the year centered largely on the joint meeting with the Agricultural Club, where the two societies, through capable representatives, entered into a debate upon a question the import of which lias not yet been determined. Suffice it to say that the evening was dedicated chiefly to pleasure and that its purpose was well accomplished. The club holds meetings twice a month, providing a tasteful program for each. 1911 C’arr, Irene, President Clark, Grace Kirk, Grace Mctheny, Blanche Piedalue, Irene 1912 K 1 wards.

S. C. and the character of the work and the courses here arc recognized by several eminent authorities as being standard. All the former graduates have good positions, one of them conducting his own business. The demand for Pharmacy graduates is on the increase, and the courses here have been approved by the State Board of Pharmacy, so that a graduate from this school having had four years of practical experience may become a registered pharmacist without examination. The Xew York Board of Pharmacy have recently accepted the course here as fulfilling the requirements of the Board of Pharmacy and the Educational Department of that state. In October. 1909. the students of the Pharmacy department organized the Pharmaceutical Society of the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The total membership was sixteen and meetings were held throughout the year, topics of interest to students and pharmacists being discussed. In 1910 the students again took up the work and elected S. J. Crosby president, H. E. Burfeind vice president and Earl Converse secretary- P a g e 12 8 NINETEEN TWELVE treasurer. During this year the society has kept in touch with the alumni and ex students. Several papers have been presented and many topics have been discussed among which were the bills which have come before the legislature in regard to the pure and narcotic drugs.

XXSPIRED with the success of their work of last year, the Uoost-ers Club started out on their second season this fall determined to accomplish still more than they did the first year of their existence. Their first activity was demonstrated at the beginning of the football season when the members of the club would turn out to attend the practices of the squad. The purpose of the association is to promote a better line of student work and activities, under an organized head, and to act as leaders in the different movements that will benefit the college.

They first rooted and sang at the basketball games and then gave “The Old Maids’ Convention.” the receipts of which were invested in a beautiful frieze for the Assembly Hall. But this wasn’t to be the last echo of the Boosterines. This fall they came back even more enthusiastic than before and ready to work even harder. They went in a body to the football games and their new and original songs made the hit of the season. Then they were awakened to their duty of boosting for the College proper so they went to work on the tax amendment and shortly afterward on the Engineering building. They were indispensible in conducting the tournament and this spring they have undertaken the work of boosting for a greater attendance of outside girls.

Its purpose was to train its members in oratory and general literary culture. During the first three years of the society’s existence it was co educational in nature, but in 1896 it was reorganized. The lady members formed a new organization of their own, the Arena becoming exclusively a men’s organization. Several years later preparatory students were excluded leaving the Arena composed entirely of four year college men. It remained such until a year ago when it entered into matrimonial affiliation with the Ilamiltonia—the ladies’ literary society. Since then it has been blissfully floating down the stream of literary fame as a co educational organization. Last year for the first time a debating team from the College met a team from another state. The occasion being a debate between the Utah Agricultural College and the Montana State College. While our team went down to defeat after a hard fought battle on the enemy's ground, still we are hopeful that our defeat in 1910 may in the end bring many succeeding years of success. The lessons taught by that defeat arc already in evidence as our work this year in debating has been much stronger than formerly. The team went in the game to wrench the laurels from the Utah Aggies this year and succeeded, thus winning honor to themselves, M. S. C.. and the Arena. The members of the Arena are proud that this year another department has been added—that of extemporaneous speaking—which was conducted in the form of a contest. The plan adopted for carrying out this contest was as follows: On the day of the contest at A p. m. the contestants received their subjects and were given until 8 p. m. to prepare their addresses. These subjects were mostly current topics of the day. Certain rules were adopted. To become eligible the speakers could not receive any coaching but they could secure their information from HORACE DAVIS, First, Page 136 NINETEEN TWELVE any other source, each speaker must speak not less than fve or more than eight minutes and notes were not admissible. Every one of the contestants was worthy of praise, but there were only three who could receive rewards, these being medals to the winners of first, second and third places. Mr. Horace Davis won first place, his subject being “Fortification of the Panama Canal.'’ Miss Grace Clark won second place speaking on the subject, “How a change from an 8:30 to an 8 o’clock class would affect the faculty and students,” and Myrtle Alderson was third. The ex lemporaneous speaking contest between the high schools in connection with the Basketball Tournament was similar to the contest conducted by the Arena between its members. The efforts of the Arena have bv no means been confined to debating and extemporaneous speaking but instead those efforts have been of the broadest nature. The members who are musically inclined have rendered to the society and to themselves untold service. In the sphere of culture the members by mingling with one another have gained intellectual benefits which can only be achieved by association with men and women. GRACE CLARK, MYRTLE ALDERSOX, Second. Third. Page 137 THE MONTANAN fljiatnnj Philomathian Literary and Athletic Society was organized ■ M on October 16. 1905. with a membership of 41. During the six years of its existence the membership has composed nearly all the students of the preparatory and has been at all times active as a literary organization. The plan of precedure has been to hold meetings once a week at some convenient place of meeting, at which programs, consisting of debates, essays, recitations, orations and newspaper articles are given. The conduct of the meetings tends to train those taking part, in tiie art of extemporaneous expression, and also in methods of conducting business under parliamentary rules. During this year the society has been very active. The number of members being more than double that of last year shows that there is more interest taken in the work. In the efforts of the members of the society to improve their literary attainments, the social side has not been neglected. For the first time, the annual declamatory contest of the preparatory department was held under the auspices of the society. The first and second prizes given by Judge Armstrong were awarded to Xoah Kirby and Pauline McVay. The progress of the work of the society is characteristic of the spirit which has prevailed this year among the preparatory students.

Fifteen high schools chose representatives by pre-liminaries. Each contestant, before the final, selected his subject from a list provided by the faculty committee in charge of the event and had about three hours in which to inform himself on the subject. The speakers came with the different basketball teams and all their expenses were paid by the College. The final contest took place on March A. at 11 :00 a. m. in the College Assembly Hall. Each speech was to take not less than five nor more than eight minutes for delivery otherwise the speaker lost his place. The contest was judged from the general effectiveness of the speeches and the adherence to the subject given. Only two lost by falling below the time limit. Two prizes were given, the first being a large gold medal and a four year scholarship in the College available when the winner has graduated from the high school which he represented; the second prize was a small gold medal. Both medals were the gift of G. J. Steffens. The judges were Mrs. Una D. Herrick, Rev. J. E. Parker. Prof. A. G. Ritter. Attorney George Y. Patten and Mr. H. D.

A. from every standpoint. The devotional committee has provided able leaders and fine speaking for the weekly devotional meetings. The work of the Bible study committee has been very gratifying. Three I ible classes were lead by able speakers and twenty-five young men very regularly attended throughout the year. The work of the social committee cannot be too highly commended. The receptions to the new students were a grand success and the social affairs held since then have proved very pleasant and beneficial to the members. The finances of the association have been put on a good working basis by the financial committee. With the surplus money several new pieces of furniture were purchased for the Y. M. C. A. room. Last June one representative was sent to the Y. M. C. A. conference at Columbia Beach. Oregon, and the local association has received much benefit from this. I bis summer the Y. M. C. A. is looking forward to sending several delegates to the conference. The officers recently elected for the year 1911-12 are as follows: Guy J. Millegan. president, Lord B. Leinard, vice-president; Stanley Douglas, secretary; and George Morgan, treasurer. Page 142 NINETEEN TWELVE f. m. (E. A.

The devotional meetings and Bible and mission study are designed to broaden the minds and lives of the girls spiritually and intellectually. This year the social life of the society has been shown in the several receptions held for new students and in the various informal parties for the girls. In order to strengthen the funds in the treasury this year the girls first compiled and published a cook book containing five hundred recipes; second, conducted several of their popular candy sales and third, served their regular May Day luncheon. With the receipts from these undertakings. the girls intend to fit up anew their room in College Hall, and to send delegates to the Northwest Conference at The Breakers. Washington. At the previous conferences, which occur annually, as well as at the slate conferences, the local association has been represented unusually well, both in attendance and in the quality of reports brought back and it is hoped that this year the precedent will be continued.

Literary Assistant Page 148 NINETEEN TWELVE (TIje Weekly Exponent HIKE every other student organ at the College this year The Weekly Exponent has been growing and increasing in its purpose, becoming more efficient in its duties, and gaining favor from a great may different sources. The paper was founded in January 1910 as a revision of the monthly editions which had been appearing before that time. This change was brought about by the fixed demands for live news of the operations of the College and the student activities by the students of the College themselves, the alumni, and friends of higher education all over Montana. The first issue, which appeared over a year and a half ago. was a small sheet four columns wide and fourteen inches deep. The first issue, being a new turn on the part of the people who had to compose and edit it, was not exactly what the staff had hoped for. but the movement created such an interest on the part of the students that the laborers were more than repaid for their trouble. After a few editions when the large scope of the work which could be accomplished by a weekly paper was realized the sheet was enlarged and the next number was five columns wide with a length of eighteen inches. It retained this size till this fall, when it was again increased and the reading space augmented over forty per cent. This is the sheet that will be retained for the remainder of the year. The Monthly Supplement has appeared as an extra two page addition each month. Other supplementary issues have been taken from the press, most important of which was the anniversary edition consisting of ten pages. This number was the source of much favorable comment from all the exchange editors of the college papers, from the faculty and student body, as well as members of the alumni. It is also the plans of the staff at present to have an enlarged number at commencement time. The sheet has always been of the newsiest type, and has contained nothing but live issues and questions of importance to the college force. At no time have the pages been devoted to slams or petty squabbles with the other institutions, nor has it assumed the appearances of a comic supplement. It is probably these factors that have given it its importance and made the copy one of the necessities of each student’s happiness. The diligent staff of reporters have seen to it that very few or no items of news are overlooked, and at times the staff has had in the hands of the readers accounts of the proceedings of assembly hour which was finished five minutes before the papers were obtained. Since its founding the paper has never been late, and each Friday has found the copies in the Page 149 THE MONTANAN Main Hall ready for distribution. The business managers have also been influential in making the thing a big success, and but for their ability in getting advertisers the staff could not have met the expense of the publication of the enlarged editions and the monthly. As it is the finances of the publication have been well handled and there will be no deficit at the end of the year. There is no salary connected with the paper in any way and the members of the staff have as a remuneration for their trouble the experience they get in the handling of the business or the news departments, and in the apparent satisfaction that the paper gives wherever it is distributed. That the alumni will write complimentary letters about it; that the papers of the state will copy from its pages; the fact that the lixpon-ent is judged by some of the other college papers to be the best collegiate sheet in the west of its kind and reports that the high school students read the “rag” eagerly, are all factors that makes it a pleasure to be in any way connected with the paper. Two new officers were added to the staff this year; one was in the matter of exchange copy, and is given the name of northwest editor; while the second position was that of associate editor. The staff will be increased in the future as the paper increases in size and the work increases to demand more attention. The paper serves every purpose well. It is something in which the students should and do take pride; an organ over which the faculty rejoice; an influential instrument in interesting the state in the work of the College; and a source of experience and pleasure to the staff. As the work of this year has improved over last, so may the future editions get better in the same proportion. Page 150 THE MONTANAN Montana Engineering 3fmirnal HIS publication is new with the present school year of 1910 11 similar publication was talked of and in 1909-10 it was a subject of discussion. However no definite move was made till in the early part of December. 1910. the society decided to publish an engineering annual and elected R. I . W illiams editor-in-chief with full authority to select his assistants and proceed with the work. Win. G. Tremper was chosen as business manager and the work was started without delay. The Journal is made up entirely of articles on engineering by prominent alumni and members of the faculty of this institution. The various articles in the Journal are appropriately illustrated, thus making it much more attractive. It is designed to bring the school into closer touch with the engineering alumni and other engineers of the state. It is the intention that every engineer in the state shall have a copy and that a copy shall be placed in each of the high schools of the state. Distributed in this way. it will be a splendid advertisement for the Engineering Division and for the rest of the school as well. and is published under the auspices of the Montana State College Society of Civil Engineers.

(Dunk look sB ECAUSE college recipes are always in favor and often called for by ladies of the town as well as by ex-students, and because the V. Y. C. A. is always on the lookout for money making schemes, the idea of publishing a cook book just before Christmas found favor with the girls and others on the hill. The work was divided among three committees; recipes, advertising and publishing. The different departments were compiled by different girls, the recipes being secured from the students, ex-students and faculty, Dawes, Clark, Edwards, Cook Book Committee. all but one being from the sex ordinarily proficient in the culinary art. The business men were especially generous by giving enough advertising matter to cover three-fourths of the cost of publication. The printing was done by the Republican-Courier and the finished product is a neat 125-page book with linen cover appropriately designed. The work of disposing of the finished product was quickly accomplished. Before the books were off the press each girl in college was asked to take as many as possible to sell. Some girls disposed of over fifty, and almost the entire number was distributed before the holidays. The Bozeman Pharmacy kindly offered to sell other copies to those who had not been solicited. On the whole the undertaking was a success, from the standpoint of the quality of the book, and the proceeds, nearly two hundred dollars being cleared by the society.

Since 1901 it has disbanded and reorganized several times but under the popular direction of Louis Howard it has been grow ing and improving wonderfully during the live years of his leadership. The College Choristers, which have been reorganized this year under the leadership of Prof. Earl B. Oliver, are doing high class work. Students recitals are held frequently, and the excellent work of the students in music is thoroughly appreciated. The girls piano quartettc is a feature of our musical activity of which we can rightfully be proud. The girls are usually willing to play at College meetings of different kinds and their patient and careful work is all thoroughly appreciated. The student body as a rule take a keen enjoyment in the work done by the musical organizations and so the work becomes enjoyable as well as instructive. numerous, but nevertheless all that is lacking in quantity is more than made up in quality.

Before this time there had been several organizations similar to the Choristers. For instance, the 1908 Chorus class was organized and later the Choral class, and in 1902 the Oratoriol club came into existence. Since 1904. the Choristers have been organized and disbanded several times. This year the organization again came to life after a year's rest. Under the leadership of Professor Earle B. Oliver, instructor in vocal, good work has been done all the winter. There are about twenty-five members, all of them being either College students or in some way closely connected with the insti union. Weekly rehearsals are held on Wednesday evening at the homes of the different members. The Choristers have made several public appearances during the winter. At one of the Assemblies in March their work was enthusiastically received by the student body and faculty. Aside from the performances given at the home the club took several trips to the nearby towns where their efforts were well received. file work of Professor Oliver as director has been excellent and lie has given to the College a musical organization which will bring no disgrace to the institution.

EVEN years ago some of the college men who had misjudged their mental capacity to such an extent that the faculty could see no further use of them to the college, gathered together the last Friday of examination week and tried to forget their sorrows by means of the flowing punch bowl and a jovial good time. Since that time every year the male students of the regular four year course have met on the Friday of examination week, and have either celebrated over their successful matches with the tests, or have proceeded to forget their bitter treatment at the hands of the professors. Sometimes the parties have been of the most hilarious sort, while others have been meek and mild, but every one M' the seven has served its purpose to such an extent that stag party night' comes in the life of the college student in much the same proportion that Christmas and the Fourth of July do. The chief feature is always the initiation of the Freshmen students into the club, then everyone joins in in having a good time. Regular fees are paid by each member to cover the expense of initiation material, banquet, etc. Page 161 C« I Stan (Crlrbratiim HI seventh annual gathering of the College Stags took place this year for the greater part in Maxey's J hall on the night of January 27 till sunrise of next day. I5y the time that the last of the thirty fawns had discarded the velvet horns for those consisting of antlers, it was time for supper, so the entire aggregation followed the leaders to the Bozeman hotel where an elegant seven course dinner was served. To make things all the more merry, several of the wits of the club told stories or responded to toasts, till the clock hands had passed on to a new day. Not satisfied to let the good time drop with the “feed the party returned to the Maxcv hall where they were entertained for a time with some moving pictures, and then had a miniature Monte Carlo spread out before them and they played for. won and lost fortunes until morning. NINETEEN TWELVE THE MONTANAN SOME OF THE TORTURERS AT THE STAG Page 164 NINETEEN TWELVE EULL of exultations or of bitter regrets caused by the ending of the finals the girls of the College gave vent to their feelings by congregating at Hamilton Hall on the evening of January 27. As of old the young frivolous Freshmen were first shown their time and place. After their gentle initiation and the taking of the solemn and secret vow of the Everlasting Does, the venerable Seniors led the old and new Does into the dining room, where they were served with a feast that could easily be compared favorably with Mrs. Rorer's best. After the feast they all gathered in the reception rooms and witnessed the best and most successful stunts that had ever been presented. The first, bv the Freshmen, was a take-off on our most noteworthy students; the Seniors receiving their diplomas which were distributed by “Prexie in all his dignity. Then came the Sophomore stunt, which was one of the most clever one act plays ever presented in Bozeman. The next was that of the Juniors. In bathing girls' costumes they appeared before the enthusiastic audience and made a decided hit with their dances and songs. In order to lend the necessary dignity to the crowd the Seniors appeared in their caps and gowns and exhibited quite an interesting hoop drill. At the conclusion of these stunts the party indulged in the old familiar college songs and reluctantly let fall the curtain on the sixth annual Doe party.

J. Marvin Spain. Wm. J. Krcmer. James C Bell, Alternate. 1911. Horace Davis, William Winter. Sclmer Solberg. Alternate. FTER several vain attempts to arrange a debate with the University of Montana, a two year contract was entered into with the Agricultural College of Utah for two intercollegiate debates, one of which was held in Longan. Utah, last year, on the Central Bank question and which resulted in a victory for the Mormons. The local team was composed as indicated at the head of this page and put up a hard fight in spile of having had only a brief time for preparation. The judges were from Idaho and Wyoming and their decision was in no way disputed. The second of these scheduled debates was held here on April 7 of this year on the question. “Resolved that the Federal Government Should Supervise and Control the Development of Water Power in the Streams of the United States. Montana upheld the affirmative of this question and won a unanimous decision. Splendid work was done by both teams, ] I. S. C. clearly excelling. The method of selection of the team this year as originally planned and as partly carried out was to have a series of debates on the question between the Arena and Agricultural Clubs and the winner of this to debate the Engineers. Owing to the lateness in getting the matter ar-ianged the last part of this plan was dropped off and a general preliminary held. The other method contemplated rating the speakers on a percentage basis at each appearance and choosing the two highest for the team. Although inter-collegiate debating may be said to be in its infancy at M. S. C., the interest shown this year, and the quality of work done in public argumentation, leads to the belief that within a few years it will be firmly implanted in the. traditions of the College. With a few exceptions. for which there were ample reasons, the contests held this year have aroused much more interest than ever before. Page 170 NINETEEN TWELVE Wraliujau ifbatr XXTERCOLLEGIATE debeating when first begun here was under the auspices of the Oratorical Association and remained so till in 1910, when the Arena and Hamiltonia literary societies united with the Oratorical Association to form the Arena literary society. This combined organization was to have charge of all literary, oratorical and debating contests between classes or with other colleges. The first intercollegiate debate in which M. S. C. participated was with the Wesleyan University at Helena. For the past six years, beginning with out college, the two schools have entertained alternate years. In all but one of the six contests that have been held the home team has won the decision. This proves that the debating teams, on the whole, have been evenly matched from year to year. 'Fhe judges have been prominent business and professional men and educators from all parts of the state and the fact that the decision for each debate has come out as it has is not because the judges were from the city in which the debate was held, for such was not always the case. The principal change which has been made in these annual affairs in recent years is in the method of selecting the members of the team. The two principal debates held annually are with Utah Agricultural College and the Montana Wesleyan. Owing to the greater number of students at Utah, they have the advantage over M. S. C. in picking a team. Therctore the Juniors and Seniors, who are considered superior over the other students in mental ability, are left to take care of that contest. The Wesleyan University, having fewer students, and being of lower standard than is our institution, provides a more interesting and evenly balanced contest when the Freshmen and Sophomores of this in stitution make up the team. This year at the annual Freshman-Sophomore debate there were two sets of judges, one for the debate and the other to choose a team from the six speakers to debate Wesleyan. The team chosen was Horace Davis, Selmcr Solberg and Mildred Eckels. The question tor debate is “Resolved, that American Cities Should Adopt the Commission Form of Government.” At the time this is written no definite date has been settled upon but the contest is to be held at Bozeman. Here's hoping that the home team has its same good luck and wins another contest. Page 171 THE MONTANAN UntmlasH SrhatP XXTERCLASS debates have been held for the past six years blit the debates between the classes of 13 and 14 this year was debated with a vim and vigor never before seen in this institution. The question for the debate was : Resolved. That the Commission Form of Government Should Be Adopted by American Cities. ’ The Sophomore class had the affirmative and the Freshmen the negative. The T3s were represented by Miss Yera Anderson. Gilbert Griffith and ?diss Myrtle Alderson in the order of speaking; the Freshmen by Miss Mildred Eckels, Selmer Solberg and Horae Davis. Both classes were out in full force and gave their yells in a manner that showed to the fullest extent the spirit and enthusiasm which prompted them. Everyone was keyed up to the highest tension The Assembly Hall was packed and the enthusiasm of the students spread through the audience when the two classes marched in. At 8:00 p. m. Marvin Spain, president of the Arena, stated the question and introduced the speakers. Each debater had fifteen minutes in which to speak, the rebutter of each team having ten minutes for the regular speech and five minutes for team rebuttal. At the end of every speech each class was sure their team had won. When the last debater on the affirmative had finished speaking the Freshmen seemed to lose all hope and the Sophomores became more enthusiastic. But when the speaker on the negative finished his arguments and took up his rebuttal the Freshmen went wild and the Sophomores dropped back to their normal condition. The affirmative rebuttal neutralized the Freshmen, revived the Sophomores and left the rest of the audience in a state of doubt. The judges were out for an interminable time and the suspense of waiting grew to be unbearable, when the Sophomores were struck by an inspiration to sing. They sang one of their most rousing songs, to the effect that their team was going to win. This took the breath from the audience and nettled the Freshmen. The decision of the judges was for the affirmative. Page 172 1913 AND 1914 DEBATE TEAMS THE MONTANAN (Ehr ©ratnriral (kmttrst ONE of the looked for events -it the College is the oratorical contest, which is held annually. These contests have been held for the past twelve years, and keen rivalry has always been manifested. The local oratorical contest was held April 22. last year, and was w on by Kyle Jones of the class of 1912 who spoke on “The Xcgo Problem.' He then represented this institution in the state oratorical contest which was held at Missoula May 6. J. C. llodgskiss was alternate. This year the state oratorical contest will be conducted in Bozeman by the College. Heretofore the Montana State College. State University, State Normal and Montana Wesleyan were the institutions represented, but this year the Montana College at Deer Lodge will be represented in the contest, by virtue of an amendment admitting them to the association. adopted at its meeting last spring. The fact that a number have signified their intention of participating in the preliminary contest which will be held the latter part of April, makes the prospects for the College very bright. The winner of the local contest, in addition to representing the College, will receive a gold medal and S20.C0 in gold. He who wins the state contest will receive a gold medal as his reward. KYLE JONES J. EDWARD H0DGKISS Page 174 NINETEEN TWELVE (Mu' (Muj of 10ar HAT promises to be a new custom in M. S.

There were fifteen men on each team and by a toss of the coin the Sophomores were to pull from the south bank. When the shot which signaled the beginning of the contest rang out. the rope tightened, remained stationary for a few seconds, and then slowly but surely did the Freshmen pull their opponents towards the water’s edge. Nearer and nearer came the Sophomores until now Brabrook. the first man on their team, hung over the very brink of the pond. But at this point the captain of the Sophomores aided by the supporters of the team started a unified signal of vo-heave. Pulling now in perfect harmony the men of the 1913 began to back off from the dreaded depths. Soon the first Freshman was forced to take the hated plunge and he was (juickly though reluctantly followed by his teammates. Gritty and game to the last the whole ’14 team was pulled sputtering and shivering through their slimy bath. 1913 TEAM.

Page 177 Beginning with the New Year of 1911. the State College boasts of the finest dormitory for women in the state, and rot only that, but the institution is proud of its dean of women, Mrs. U. B. Herrick, who came to Bozeman at the time of the opening of the dormitory and has since won admiration and respect on every hand. Hamilton Hall the new dormitory has been christened in the memory of Mrs. Hamilton, late wife of President J. AT. Hamilton. A great deal of the attractiveness and homeliness of the Hall is due to its dean, and this is said without detracting in the slightest from the very amiable and attractive young ladies who live at the place. i . . ■ —— —— ------ MRS. U. B. HKHKICK. l)« an of Women. Recognized as the most capable and efficient basketball official in Montana, Yiii. Hartman, '08. deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the season for the College and especially erf the tournament, at which he officiated in all of the 15 games played. Mr. Hartman is very modest concerning his services and perhaps this tends to cultivate the attitude on the part of others which takes such efforts as a matter of course. Anyway. Billy Hartman has won the respect and admiration of everybody who has kept in touch with the conditions in basketball this year. WiL HARTMAX, 'OS. Champion Official. Page 178 NINETEEN TWELVE M. S. C. GRAIN JUDGING TEAM—1910. (Ilir (Sraitt dlubging (Enntrst ONE of the new forms of activities in M. S. C. began last fall when the College sent a grain judging team to take part in the students’ contest held at the Dry Farming Congress in Spokane, Washington, on October 4th. The team was composed of Fred Gordon. John Taylor and George Morgan who lost to the team from Pullman, Washington, by a close score of 154 to 170 out of a possible 200 points. Before this time there was no grain judging in the regular course of College work but as there is now a course being taught those who take part in future contests will have the advantage of more preliminary training along these lines.

Ladies and gentlemen: This wide thoroughfare with the skyscrapers on either side is Main street. This street has the same value to Bozeman that a main spring has to a watch. The building you see over there, labelled Tivoli, is the training table for the college athletes, and their great success is due to “Bozeman's Best and Coach McIntosh, Prob-ably of next greatest importance to college students is the Michigan building to your left. Here is located ;he Bungalow and the Pool Hall where the students do most of their banking. Well this is possibly getting monotonous so we'll speed up a little and get into an intelligent atmosphere. Doctors say a change is good for the nerves. The new building with the wide wings is where the gems of the college are kept. The state appropriated $50,000 for this structure and it is worth twice the amount just to look at it. With due ceremony it lias been christened Hamilton Hall. The directors are contemplating the building of a high brick wall around the “Dorm in the near future, so as to keep the fair buds inside and to give the Boosters the valuable exercise of boosting higher to get over it. The next edifice is the old College Hall, which consists mainly oi bricks and traditions. As we enter, the president's office, where statistics and information on the banking laws may be had tor the asking, is to the right of ns. On our left is where the secretary is located. For polite conversation and dry wit he can double discount anything and discard aces. Here is the library, which contains 8.000 volumes. That large looking bov with the hoarse laugh and pretty gold tooth is George Cook, of Bitter Fame. He looks pretty big but he feels a lot bigger than his size would indicate. You see that couple seated at the table in the far end of the room? Well, that is Jack Taylor and Helen Shiell. It hasn't been announced yet but because Jack is always humming “I've Got Mine. Boys. his many friends have their cans and sticks ready. That big. fine looking fellow who just entered is Booker and the college is fortunate in having such a great man. He's very affectionate and frequently refers to my wife and “niv dog. That bunch over there aboard to see the great collection of animals and plants at M. A. C. or M. S. C. whichever you want to call it. Gvup there Page 181 THE MONTANAN by the door are Juniors. Those three abbreviated young ladies are Juniors in home science and they are all sure of permanent positions as soon as they graduate—maybe before. The young man is noted for his guarding and used to take trips out from town to investigate the country school problem. That fellow just ne t is the editor-in-chief of the Exponent and Junior Annual, chief ad iser to the president, a great Booster and public speaker but the gist of most of his remarks is too deep for the average mind to grasp. Beside the editor-in-chief sits the plucky little half-back of whom M. S. C. is so justly proud. The way he hits the line makes the charge of the six hundred look like a snowball in Honolulu. There is a rumor that lie is going to Michigan next year and that Yost made the boast that “Ty has Coy tied to a post. That important looking fellow who has just entered is Xed Chambers, captain of next year's football team. Xed recently changed his course from chemistry to agriculture and has been heard to remark that he thinks that a fellow stands a much better chance of getting a home of his own if he is a farmer. From the attention he has been giving to a certain member of the Junior home science class he evidently means business. At the middle table sits the ex-captain. You can easily tell he amounts to something by the firm set oi his chin and by his great understanding. He weighs 200 pounds with a summer suit and a straw hat on. Don’t mind that disturbance in the alcove, it’s simply Bill Chapman and Frances Reed, the two greatest fussers in college. Come on. we’d better lea' e the library before we’re requested to do so for we arc causing a disturbance and that almost never happens. (Be careful and don’t run over the couple just outside the door. The tall guy with the lovelight in his eye is Cy. He used to sing We Won’t Go Home Till Morning” but now it’s 1 Care Xot for the Stars that Shine.” Funny how things change, isn’t it?) To the right stands the ‘’Columbus Kid.” His hair is white but it wasn’t turned by worry. Of all the noted characters up at college he is head and shoulders above them all. With a smooth and even voice lie can make love or talk of heaven and all it’s occupants with an equal grace. This couple, leaning on the railing at the end of the hall, is the latest addition to the Freshmen class and one of her victims. You needn’t worry about disturbing them, they're immune. The building to the west of College Hall is the home of chemistry and physics at this institution. The chemistry lecture room, though the best equipped lecture room in the state is a regular Dante’s Inferno to the majority of the Freshmen and a few of the Sophomore Aggies. Here Professor Coblcigh explains the theory of Page 182 NINETEEN TWELVE the little bees in the wash boiler to each Freshman class and Professor Fames tells of the time when he was a Freshman and attempted to make nitro-glycerine. Our next stop is the Biology building where investigators are hunting for jewels in wood ticks and students are learning to butcher and pickle cats and guinea pigs. Here. also, is where the faculty members co-operate with the biology department in the destruction of white gnats by tobacco smoke. As it is near dinner time we will travel toward the Domestic Science and Agricultural Hall. The first floor and basement is devoted to agricultural pursuits. Here is located the dairy department under the direction of the Hatless Wonder. Those two young fellows standing by the bulletin board are Sophomore Aggies. One is an understudy of Professor Clark's and is commonly known as one of the Blessings of the College. The oilier is the Doc party photographer, he of the ho(a)rse laugh. On the third floor we find the Home Science rooms where the young ladies learn to make samples, gossip and parboil water. The cafeteria has been run out of business by the Log Cabin Club so there's no chance for dinner here. Those buildings scat tered around to the southwest of us are the barns, and chicken coops. There's not much to see, but at feeding time there's a lot to hear. The college fowls and animals are quite human in that respect. On our way back let’s step over to the Electrical building. 'Phis building seems to be conductive to all kinds of showers from those of electric sparks to those of hosiery and kitchen utensils. The legislature has just donated a large sum for the building of another hall for engineering. Due south you see the athletic track. The boosters showed their college spirit by wading in mud up to their knees to get the track in shape. It's twelve-thirty so we'd better start for town. My only regret is that you didn’t see Dutch Dahling and the angora goats. I expect he’s out strolling with “Little Eva. Take one last look at the “Montana State and imitate the winter wind with a few rails for old M. S. C. Remember, if you have a son or daughter send them to Bozeman and in a few years they will forget more than most people know. C. L. K., ’13. Page 183 THE MONTANAN ®ahlr xif (CnntrarU's Soper ami Bell.

Here Are Some of the Average Yields Per Acre: Wheat, irrigated............65 bushels Wheat, non-irrigated........40 bushels Oats ......................70 bushels Barley ....................45 bushels Potatoes...................200 bushels Timothy hay................... 4 tons THESE ARE FACTS. It is also a fact that approximately S6.500.000 worth of farm products were shipped into Montana in 1908, simply because of the lack of people to properly develop the agricultural resources of the state and thus supply the demand created for these products by the mining and stock raising sections. Bozeman, tiic metropolis of the Gallatin Valley, is only 98 miles from Butte, the greatest mining camp on earth, and only 96 miles from Helena, the capital of the state; hence, there is always a ready cash market for all products of the Gallatin Valley farm and garden. For these and many other reasons, the Gallatin Valley offers unsurpassed opportunities and inducements to both the homeseeker and the capitalist. If you are looking for a location where you can buy A-l improved farming lands, irrigated or non-irirgated. at bargain prices, where crop failures are absolutely unknown, and where energy and ability are sure to meet with a substantial reward, then come to the Gallatin Valley. There is no better field in the Northwest today for profitable investment. For further information regarding farm lands, timber lands, water power, industrial opportunities, business openings, railroad rates, or other things of interest to the investor and homeseeker, address, The Gallatin Valley Commercial Club Bozeman, Montana Page 220 NINETEEN TWELVE I make Suits for College Boys at $1S.00 and Up!
