It has not been an easy one, but our hope is that we have produced a book through which in after years it will be a pleasure to look,-a volume which by its pictures and its articles will in the future recall the pleasant days of college life. If in this respect our hopes have been realized, we shall feel that our work has not been in vain. FHCUL Y WINFRED ERNEST GARRISON, Ph. D., President and Pro- fessor of Economics. A.

Since graclu- ating C, P. has clivicled his time about equally between stenographic work and farming. This school year he has been connected with the College as Station Stenographer, ancl with his excellent business ability ancl systematic methods he has founcl time to carry along the work of an M. S. degree in agriculture. Mr. Wilson says little but dc-es much, and this is the type of man needed today in the western country. The subject of his M. S. thesis is: Pecan Culture as Aclaptecl to Mesilla Valley Conditions. Page Twehtj'-SiX ,ilu .Mes , 'Vi l X W Y ...gg ' - -7 1, . ,ex 1 -Q V 'A I 1 P T fer? . Joi-iN FERGUSON BLINN, M. S. E1 Paso, Texas. Page Twenty-seven Mr. Blinn is among the first of the non-residents to receive an advanced degree from this institution. Since graduating with the class of '06 'sFergy', has been devoting most of his time to metallurgical chemistry. l-le is now holding a responsible position in the chemistry department of the E1 Paso Smelting Company, where most of his M. S. thesis Work was done. During 1910 Mr. Blinn took some advanced work in the University of Illinois, preliminary to his degree work completed here this year. If there ever was a self madel' man Mr. Blinn is one, and with all his struggles for an education he found time to indulge in many of the wholesome college activities and always Wore a smile. The subject of his M. S. thesis is: ulmprovecl Chemical Methods of Metallurgical Determinations. THE TOP IS NOT YET 'WON Now here's to all you Seniors Who soon upon that day Will reach the College summit ln the latter part of May. But do not pause at this point, The top is not yet wong For higher up a peak is seen Against the rising sun. So higher, higher you must climb The path where the strong winds blow, Till the summit will show clearer And the crowd be left below. Then as you higher work your way Along that narrow path, You'll need your muscle, nerve ancl mincl, When through the fog you pass. Although through fog and mist you'll pass, Ancl snow ancl sleet ancl rain, They will vanish all and quickly go, For the sun comes out again. Then some bright clay after years of toil You may reach the harcl-earned topg Ancl far below where you began Will seem a tiny clot. Now that you have climbed thus far Ancl your College work is clone, There is a greater climb aheacl For the top is not yet won. Pa ge Twenty-eight ..

V ice-President James Richard Quesenberry ....,.......... . . .Secretary-Treasurer Glass Qlntnra Royal Blue and Cherry ftlftlnttn E Paucio Multum If James Richard Quesenberry had used a hatchet to prune his fatheris fruit trees there would be nothing missing to make his early life history read like a carbon copy of Cu. Washing-' ton's Boyhood. Richard and the Dad of his Country check up exactly c-n the following points: fa, stature, tbl mien, fc? habits, fdj agricultural and military tendencies, and feb fondness for seeing Indians dance. 511 Quesenberry is clean, sane, healthy, earnest, studious, and a lot more good things. The only Haw in his past is that he missed the Junior Prom. Arthur Alphonse Laferriere entered the College in l903,- but he hasnit been here ever since,-far from that. He has continued his education largely in the University of Hard Knox since those halcyon days, and after obtaining his degree of Ph. D. therein now returns to things academic. He is long Page Thirty-one on Chemistry, Hair, Journalism, Junior Proms, and land in Mexico, on which the lnsurrectos are now raising Cain by pyro- irrigation. qi A modest, serious minded, able fellow, and one of the live wires in the Class of '12, Phyllis Barbour Deerner is the traditional uonly girln in the Junior Class-hats off, please-the only member of the class who was not present at the Junior smoker. She has taken special studies in the College from year to year, for some eight winters and is a connoisseur of ccurses, but fwith excellent good tastelj has deferred her graduation until it could be consum- mated with the Class of '12, QI Miss Deemer has helped many worthy and struggling student activities, notably the jour- nalistic and literary ones, and now holds with dignity the chair of Literary Editor of this volume of The Swastika. JUNIOR CLASS-CONTIN U ED Harold Leslie Herrmann is a simon-pure Western product, of Teutonic ancestry, Latin susceptibility, and curly hair. To the last quality he owes his enviable nickname of Curly, his name is the only proof of the firstg and as for the second, it is based upon a certain coeducational infirmity diagnosed by Pro- fessor Kyle as rudimentary paranoia complicated by fixed idea and psychic obsession, with all of which H. Leslie has recently become unexpectedly and completely inoculated. qi But Herr- mann is neither an intellectual mirage nor a mental delusion. l-le has a good head on him-and there is something in it. John Alvin Anderson is the long-sought-for Missing Link- not between man and his anthropoid ancestor of the caudal appendage, to be sure, but between student and faculty. He is said to have started out in life with the fell intention of being a self-made man. Well, he got the reinforced concrete founda- tion all laid, but one day as he was meditating on his task he decided that the responsibility was too great for him to under- take alone so he called in the College to help with the super- structure. Ill I-le is now being finished off in the latest im- proved Mission sty-le with the Class of 'IZ and hopes to be the pioneer graduate of the course in Commerce. John Kenneth l-laggart early acquired the appellation of Kilby',. In former days there was a Kilby's Kilbyn who was commonly mentioned in connection therewith-but alas! Kilby has served for countless years as basketball captain and is a first-team football man,-all this in spite of pickles, pound cake, and pipe. qi l-laggart is ,a man of self confidence and high ability, who believes in the College and the course he is taking. Vacation to him means three hot months in an office or following a walking plow through tough Kansas soil as his mind dwells on the cool breezes of summer resorts like Cloudcroft. King Olaf Windsor is the great living proof that the old Viking spirit has survived through the ages. It has cropped out repeatedly on the football field, it burned brightly during the cane rush, and now it asserts itself in a crowning burst of splen- dor by moving Ole to undertake the Business Managership of this book. qi Jokes aside, Windsor's record, since he entered the College in l907, is an admirable one. He does not care a rap for praise, ccmes uo to Fl-eddy's requirements for gameness and squareness, and is the hardest worker in the Class of 'IZ- and that's saying something.

Lasaga Earl Wilson Ruth Brainarcl Gnlnrz Purple and Gold The class of 1913 needs no introduction to the students of the Agricultural College. We are all remembered as members of the illustrious Freshman class of the preceding year. Al- though c-ur number has been cut in half with the advance of our second year in College, we are still here and are second to none as far as numbers are concerned. But the value of a class to its College is not told by the number of its members, by any means. Still we are proud to say that the Sophomore class has contributed to the good of the College in almost direct proportion to the number of its mem- bers. For a while there was the ever unlucky number of thir- teen in the class, but that made no difference whatever. We went along just as if nothing had happenedg but still when one of our absent ones turned up a month or so after the opening Page Thirty-five of the school year, a sigh of relief went up from the whole class. The uhoo-cloon had been removed and the number increased from thirteen to fourteen. Let us look around and see wnat the Sophomores have been doing to help in the carrying on of the student activities of the institution. First we find a Soph. playing half back on the football team. Two held down the positions of center and guard on the basketball team. We find two on the baseball squad and the class of 'l3 has a number of footracers and high jumpers. The aggregation is also a very musical one. Three of its members play regularly in the Military Band. Miss Blattler is the organist at the St. James Church, while four of us are in the College Glee Club. Many literary and executive positions are also held.by the Class. So it is seen at a 3 SOPI-IOMOR ES-CON TIN UED glance that the bunch is unusually well represented in all the College activities. We have representatives in all the College courses: Engi- neering, Agriculture, General, and Domestic Science. While some of our grades may not be of the highest, let it be remem- bered that we are only Sophs as yet and that it has only been a short while since we quit the Freshman Class to come to one more exalted. Socially the Class has always been in the first rank. The Class always manages to give its affairs on some big day. But why not? It's a great class. Last year the annual celebration was given on St. Valentine's dayg this year on St. Patrick's day, while next year the event is already booked for Washing- ton,s birthday. If we are all lucky enough to get there, our last gcod time will probably come off on-Commencement day. This is the first time we have been Sophomores, so if we have conducted ourselves as befitting ladies and gentlemen of such a position in life, please overlook our shortcomings and remember we are new to the business. Freshmen, so long. This year we will not wait until school opens again to realize that we are advanced a year in our College work. Already, however, warm spring zephyrs are whispering softly the word Junior in our lecture drummed ears. But asiwe near the goal for which we are striving a feeling of sadness comes over us. To think that we have only two years more at the most is indeed enough to make one feel lonely! And when we look back how short the time seems. Yet if we can look back with satisfaction over the good times, and the work we have done, and the friends we have made and won, then it has been worth while. Page Thirty-six I ' .X , .. 1 Bl H .

One strange fact connected with this class is that none of the members had ever known each other before coming to N. M. A. C. last August. While not blessed with large numbers, the class as a whole has been alive to the various activities of the college. The class feels that it has the material to make good, and looks for- ward hcpefully to the coming three years which will decide how many of the present members will receive diplomas in I9I4. The class roll is as follows: Kenneth B. Ogilvie C Big Chiefnj. Prexy was born near Omro, Wisconsin, about the time that the buds were bursting in 18885 received his early schooling at that place and later graduated from Ellsworth High School, class of l909. About Page Thirty-nine a year later, tiring of the confines of Badgerdom he decided to cc-me west and bring his parents with him, finally locating at Roswell, N. Mex. About this time he had a bright idea and concluded that he wanted to study engineering, and of course, he did the only proper thing-he came to N. M. A. C. Elected president of his class by an overwhelming majority, he has already proved his ability to guide the other erring Freshies through their first year in college. Pretty good Hfusserf' too-judging by- the number of trips he makes to the park. Member of the Student Commission, Glee Club. St. James Choir, K. G. O. Electrical Engineering course. Pres- ent aim in life: To complete his course in algebra without flunking. Robert E. Morris f E.ol J. A native of Nebraska, though he now calls Farmington, New Mexico, his homeg migrated to the Southwest in l900, and has spent the most cf his life in FRESHMAN CLASS-CON'1'INUED the Territory, received the major part of his schooling in his home town, and later graduated from the High School there-T class of l909. One of those quiet, unassuming fellows that bones like blazes. Doesn't go in very strong for athletics, girls, or those sorts of side issues, but can generally hold his own in an emergency. Electrical Engineering course. Pres- ent aim in life: To get through Spanish without taking an exam. Earl W. Geyer. The most retiring member of the class. Used to have a nickname, but could not be induced to wear it. Born in Pc-meroy, Ohio, of German parentageg first brightened the home of his parents about a decade ago, brightened it again when he left for collegeg was brought up on a farm near his birth-place, and received his preparatory education in the best schools near his home: did a little farming on the side, but finding life in the Buckeye State too slow for him, he decided to take Horace Greeleyis advice and go West. He located at Roswell, New Mex., with his parents in MH1'Ch, 1908, came to N. M. A. C. to learn the science of hoeing corn and is the only farmer in the class. l-le hopes to graduate some day, when the proper time rolls around. Member of the Student Commission, Agricultural Club, K. G. Q., St. James Choir. Agricultural course. Present aim in life: To play center on the 1911 football team. W. Montgomery Ellison, Jr. The son of his fatherg hails from the Lone Star State, of which fact he is justly proudg born at Uvalde, Texas, in l89l, and received his early edu- cation in the Marta public schools, and later attended Coronal Institute, San Nlarcos, graduating from there in l9l0. While a student at that institution he was closely connected with ath- letics of different kinds, playing end on the football team for two consecutive years. Since coming to N. M. A. C. he has already demonstrated his athletic ability, having won an HAH during the past football season. As a slab artist Red is no slouch, and the possibilities of his becoming a star baseball player are very bright. l-le doesn't have much to do with the ladies,-prefers to go to 'Cruces instead. Civil Engineer- ing course. Member of the St. James Choir, O-We-Go-Pi, and others. Present aim in life: To pitch for N. M. A. C. Jesse H. Thomasson. Came to N. M. A. C. because Push Powers did. fCan't give any other reason for com- ing., Born, Lcrd knows when, in Martinsville, Va. Came to New Mexico some years later and now claims Ft. Bayard as his home. Received his early education there and before coming to college he attended the Silver City Normal School three years. Best dancer in the class, and will, no doubt, make a first class ladyls man. St. blames Choir, O-We-Go-Pi. Civil Engineering course. Present aim in life: I-las none. Page Forty TIIE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Society fas it was then namedj of this College was founded at a meeting called for that purpose on May 24, 1898. Six or seven alumni were present and the organization was hurried through because on the next day, May 25, 1898, a class of eight, the largest class the College had had for years, was to be graduated, and the organizers did not want the 1898 class to control the proceedings nc-r, more especially, the elec- tion of officers. At this organization meeting Oscar C. Snow, ,94, a member of the hrst class ever graduated from this institution was elected president and Fabian C-arcia, of the same class, was elected second vice-president. No other two members of the associa- tion have been more faithful to its interests and in attendance upon its meetings than these two -'94 men. Before the next meeting of the association, one of its bright- est and most promising members, and the youngest graduate the College had sent cut, Eugene Casey, died at Montauk Point, New York. l-le had enlisted in the Rough Rider regiment and had gone to the front just a few days before graduation day. l-le was granted his diploma, however, with the rest of the class and at commencement exercises his vacant chair was draped with the American Hag. Four months later he died while his regiment was waiting to be mustered out after its return from the Spanish war, and his body was brought back heme for burial. Page Forty-one The first annual banquet of the Alumni association was held in 1899 and in the minutes for that year we find the record of a vote of thanks to Miss Ida Jones for extending her home to the Association. The next year it was held at the girls' dormitory where it was held every year until 1909 when it occurred, as it did also in 191 O, in Hadley Hall. The annual banquet, whether it has had present only the few alumni in the neighborhood or whether the more than two hundred who were present in 1910, has been the main object of the existence of the Alumni association and the real means of keeping alive the interest of the alumni in their alma mater. And whatever attraction other commencement functions may have for the Hold gradn, it is the annual gathering around the banquet table, with its feast of reminiscences, that stands first with the alumnus. Old times are talked over, and compared with the present,-generally with unfavorable results for the present! Renewed loyalty is inspired for the old school and plans laid as to how her interests can be advanced. We feel that we are to be congratulated that the association as a body did not agree with the opinion expressed by some of the mem- bers as stated by Secretary Garcia in the minutes for 1900, that Ha few c-ther members were inclined to believe that it would be better to have these annual banquets every two or three yearsf, We will close by singing the familiar hymn, to the tune of My Maryland, There is a land supremely blest, New Mexico, New Mexico, She has a school that leads the rest, OlclA6clVl,oldA6clVI. In brain or brawn or other stunts I-ler men are men, not puny runts, Her girls-God bless them, are all OlclA8cM,oldA6zM. trumps, We'll sing our Alma lVlater's praise New Mexico, New Mexico, And willing serve her all our days, OlclA6cM,oldA6cM.

Grim determination marked the faces of the band of nine- teen students who assembled in the Stenography Department at the beginning of the first semester in September of 1910. Grim- mer determination was read on the countenances of the in- domitable thirteen who answered to roll call the first day of the !9ll semester. Patience, fortitude, and endurance,- these were learned by bitter experience, over and above the paltry word-signs and contractions of shorthand. There was but one rule laid dcwn fcr this exemplary class, a simple rule of three words, called the three P's. It was found in the front of the text book and again at the end, and not forgotten be- tween covers. It was: Practice! Practice!! Practice! ! ! Under the efficient instruction of Prof. G. E.. Lain, who has held this position for five successive years, the class made rapid progress. The-se who had taken the work thinking it would be a snap, soon found their mistake. But by hard work, and the never failing encouragement of this good-natured professor, thirteen of the class pulled thru the first semester and passed an examination such as only Prof. Lain knows how to inflict. Page Forty-nine 0112155 G1nInr5 Green and Gold After vacation the class, having completed all the principles of shorthand, began to put their superfluous knowledge to prac- tice by taking clown exercises from dictation. T he only thing that bothered the class was that the Professor would insist upon reading each'exercise a little faster than the last. The re- quirement forthe term's work is the speed rate of l25 words per minute, and from present indications, that rate will be at- tained by all. , Y The Stenography Class of l9t l is one of the livest organi- zations in the College. Thoroughly organized, the members all interested, and the right number for co-operation and good work, the class has pushed to a successful issue all it has under- taken. It has won a name, also, in the social life of the institu- tion, having given several affairs of note, the one which called forth the most favorable ccmment being the Typewriting Party and Shorthand Ball, on December !7. Another noticeable characteristic of the class is its ready adaptability to circumstances. Vlfhen the old Main Building was burned in September and the housing and equipment of the Stenography Department went up in smoke, fin spite of a des- perate effort on the part of some of the boys who tried to save the beloved typewritersl the class went on as usual, holding recitations in the Agricultural Building, typewriting on excuses for machines set on boxes, until the new machines arrived, and setting about to restore all the destroyed valuables of the de- partment. At length fine new Remington Typewriters arrived, and convenient tables, to the great joy of the class. The work in typewriting is progressing nicely. A number of students who were not enrolled as stenographers are taking typewriting, mak- ing a class of thirty-one. Undoubtedly every member of the Stenography Class of l9l l is above par in intelligence and character, but some have good characteristics of which particular note should be made. Now there is the President, Happy , who, although his name comes thirteenth on the roll, has never been known to have enough bad luck to cause him to forget to smile, except once when a part of the population of Mesilla Park moved to Ar- kansas. Next to the Professor he is the best natured member of the class. Sana hails from the Sunny Southland. The class might have been lost in frivolity had it not been for her example of dignity, for had she not once been a dignified school marmn? Now Bill is noted for his pugilistic temperament. His class- mates mourned his loss when he was obliged to quit the class on account of a broken hand. After the exit of Bill, Mr. Garza returned to the class room. The unlucky number, thirteen, continued to hang like a pall over the heads of the little group. But there is nothing pugilistic about Mr. Garza. Every class must have a songster. Henrietta is the class solc-ist. There must also be a dude and ladies' man in every class. Leitchianswers to both. Mary is noted for her ambition to become a prominent stenog- rapher on account of her great admiration for those of that profession. Pedro is seldom heard to talk in class. It is hard to tell whether it is due to his natural quietness or because the girls never give him a chance. There is just one suspicicus thing that reflects on the ray- pee-teeshonn of Miss Lain. She took a sudden notion to study domestic science. On her return after spending Christmas vacation at home, Josephine suddenly dazzled the eyes of the class-and Pro- fessor-with a huge diamond. Another Ht subject for domes- tic science. Frances likes to argue with Prof. Any principle of shorthand serves as an excellent subject for debate. Miss Willie, like Ma1'y, admires Professionists. Willie thinks she would like to be a carpenter. ul-lineyu would make an excellent scholar if he could only spare the time from making love to the girls to study. Unis was never known to quarrel, but she does like to l'ight . The advanced class in stenography consisted of two mem bers during the first semester, but after Christmas time Oscar Wilson left to take a position in Arizona, leaving poor Walter Johnson to thresh it out alone with Prof. Last year Walter was the brightest boy in the class and this year he is proud to say' he lays claim to the same distinction. Pa ge Fifty Q IJREPARATORY DEPARTMENT ln a new and sparsely populated State like New Mexico, where there are less than a hundred graduates from standard four-year high schools each year, every higher institution of learning must maintain its own preparatory school. And the Preparatory Department of the College has more than justified its existence by its genuine service to the institution and the community as a whole. We cannot resist the temptation to be reminiscent, to go back in our imagination to the days when the Preps were housed in the basement of the Old lVlain Building fnow happily no more. Peace to its asheslj, where each class had its own special room and special teacher, and dis- turbed not any other place or person. Those were the days when the ambition of every Prep was to go up stairs , which being interpreted meant to get into the college. Those also were the days of the founding of the Lincoln Literary Society, one of the oldest high school societies in the Southwest. From the basement the Preps moved to the second floor. A year and a half there, and the building burnedg and they,ve been on the move ever since-some to Hadley Hall, some to Wilson Hall, some to Science Hall, and some even to Study Hall. But all are happier now than ever beforeg for they know that when they return next fall they will have a new building of their own, larger, handsomer, and more convenient than the old one. Another item of history which the present graduating class knows in detail relates to the raising of the standard of the Preparatory Department a year at a time for three successive years. And for all those three years they passed their work successfully, but remained Third Preps. This year they have their inningg for they say, 'sWe are the very first genuine, un- adulterated, scientifically prepared Fourth Preps to be turned out by our department. Again we turn to the past to read our record of progress. Beginning in the fall of IQO9, the whole group of Industrial courses in agriculture, business, mechanics, and domestic science, was put into operation. These make it possible for students in this department to train their muscles and learn some of the practical things of life while laying the foundations for a broad and liberal education. But let us turn away from the past. The pride of the Preps is in their present achievements and future hopes. They hold a prominent place in the affairs of the college and have demonstrated their claim as a factor to be reckoned with in all the important movements of life on the campus. When chasing the pigskin is the order of the day, who are the chas- ers? Who played Arizona and Roswell last fall? Ask Quesenberry and Blain and Boat and Bone and others whether the Preps had anything to do with it, or not. Then, who plays basketball? Lena Smith and Audie Crist could give valuable information on this point as to the past. And for the present year there are four of our number who possess inside informa- tion about the girls' team. What about baseball and track work this spring? Well, just quit reading this Swasiilfa and get right out on the field and see for yourself. The Preps are Page Fift y- two there already-good players, fast runners, high jumpers, and loyal rooters, every one of them. They have done their part, too, in debating. With only three places on our team and six contestants for them, anybody might well be proud to make the team. And the able way in which Harold Evans closed our argument in the final debate against the University left nobody in doubt as to why he had been chosen. These facts and a thousand and one others of like kind, that we see on the campus from day to day make it apparent to every observer that the Preps are a vital part of the college unit. Nor do the past and the present make up all of the story of the Preps. They have a future to which they look forward with intense interest. Dr. John R. Macarthur, who left the college a year ago, is to return at the beginning of next year, and will have charge of this department. l-le is a scholar, a gentleman, a born leader of men, and possesses the entire con- Hdence of every student in this institution. His return will be hailed with delight by faculty and students alike. May he live long and happily with us, and may our department grow and prosper under his guidance, and keep its prominent place in every phase of college life and activity.

Badenoch . . .Samuel Bousman . . . .Egbert Merrill 2-Xtlrlvtir Annnriettinu I I-IE College Athletic Association has been reorganized this year on an entirely new basis. The arrangement of all athletic events is under the management of an athletic director who is a member of the Faculty. Heretofore the association has consisted only of those interested in athletics. It is easy to see how defective such an organization might become. The students as a whole and the majority of the Faculty had prac- tically no voice in athletic affairs. Under the new organization all have a voice, all may enter the athletic contests, and, what is more important, the associa- tion is placed upon a more sound financial basis. By the pay- ment of a small matriculation fee any member of the student body, Faculty, Alumni or any one else interested in College athletics may become a member. The Association has started off Wonderfully well for its first year, and has pay-ed off a portion of the debt which has been hanging over it for the past two years. Practically every stu- dent in college is a member, and the Faculty and Alumni are well represented. With only a few years of progress like this athletics at this institution will be carried on Without embarass- ment from any source. Pa ge Seventy-six lj OUR COACH Arthur I-I. Badenoch came to direct the physical side of education in the College in the fall of 1910. l-le had a bright record of achievement in his line before he came, having played tackle on the football team of the University of Chicago under Stagg in l904 and 1905, during the season when Chicago had perhaps the greatest team she ever developedg and prior to that time on the Englewood football, track, basketball teams, later coaching college teams in all branches of athletics after leaving the University. Coach Badenoch's success in the College during the football and basketball seasons of this year is not to be read in terms of scores. His object is not to Win all the games regardless of everything else, but to develop a spirit of cleanness, fairness and true sportsmanship among the players and let the score take care of itself, to create and stimulate an interest in athletics among all the students,-not only the husky ones, but the anemic and bespectacled as well,-and not at the expense of studies, but rather as an aid to them. ln this Coach Badenoch has suc- ceeded-succeeded beyond the possibilities of success when mere game-winning is the chief object-and our hats are off. With Coach Badenoch at the helm, his ideas and ideals firmly established, last year's veterans coming back, a sound Page Seventy-seven n A 1' 45, COACH BADENOCH financial basis for the Athletic Association, and prospect for a good gymnasium for next year, how does the athletic situation look? Great, We say. Finally, Coach Badenoch has the esteem and fast friendship of all the boys. FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL Nineteen hundred-ten marks the beginning of a new epoch in the football history of the Agricultural College. It is the first year that a paid coach has had charge of the squad. Though this circumstance did not result on an absolutely phenomenal showing as compared to some past seasons, yet it is safe to say that without the coach N. M. A. Cfs team would have been an easy mark in the Territory instead of being placed, with the Roswell team, in a superior class. Compared to former years there was a decided dearth of material, both in the number of men that came out and in the size of the men who could be prevailed upon to appear for prac- tice. Only two of the men in the back field, Kirkpatrick and Blain, had had any experience in their positions, but with that boost they earned places on the Territorial line-up. Smith and Lohman were new to their work, but they developed into steady, reliable players of especial merit in their respective defensive positions of smashing half and defensive full. From the be- ginning it was apparent that Boat and Brainard had the end positions secured. Both played well and became skillful in com- pleting the pass play. Boat also scored several touchdowns on the famous e-7 crisscross while Brainard's accuracy in judg- ing punts established confidence in the team when on the de- fensive. Coming to the line proper we find, tersely expressed, three-' lifths inexperienced harnessed with two-fifths been-there-be foren. The final selection of men, however, developed a'couple Page Seventy-nine of combinations among the five that was favorably unique. First, on the right side of the line crouched together the two older Quesenberrys, while on their immediate left, their younger brother sprawled over the pigskin. Roswell fc-und it well-nigh impossible to either penetrate, undermine, or overbalance this combination of brotherly love. But when they bucked into the other side they encountered the sturdy Captain Merrill and his husky side-partner, Bill E.. C., who as warm friends made it correspondingly warm for their opponents. All of the games of the season except two were a surprise and a joy to College supporters. Those two of course were reverses, and they came together, on a single trip and one day apart. The second defeat was particularly galling because of the ignominious sccre piled up on that rawest of raw bunch of recruits. After the first quarter when they once allowed the brilliant, capable l-ligh School eleven to score, they were as lambs in a wolf pen. It is only fair to the unfortunates how- ever to allow for injuries of a serious character that were sus- tained by three of the principal players, incapacitating them for all or part of the game. HNuff said on that painful subject, and almost enough on the game of the day before when the University of Arizona defeated the Regulars I7-2. Several causes contributed to this net result, which is not at all indicative of the comparative strength of the two teams. Most potent of these seems to have been the poor condition of two of the team men and the general lassitude of the entire team after a tiring trip to Tucson. Y IFOOTBALL -CONTINUED Having dispatchd the appetizing portions of the account we turn to the other games. E1 Paso High School came to the home gridiron for the tryout. It was a hot contest despite the fact that only A men of the College Squad were barred. The score was only 6-0. Blain was the strength of the College line-up and terror- ized the High School players by his aggressive end runs. I-le scored, however, on a trick play and did it so neatly that the opposing team were confounded, confused and disgusted all at once. When the team departed a week later for El Paso to meet the E.. P. M. I. team, consisting of heavier and more experi- enced players, there was some trepidation experienced by the bunch at home. But such doubts tottered into sensations of de- lighted surprise when the score IZ-0 was learned. When, in . ...w. the return game, the locals played circles around the War- riors on the College gridiron, the community began to believe in a football coach. The score against the School of Mines was not as large as it should have been owing to a painful cut on the foot sustained by Kirk in Socorro on the day before the game. I2-0 was the width of the slice cut off by the crimson on that occasion. After the two trimmings of the week following there re- mained nothing but the Thanksgiving game with the powerful Cadet team from the Pecos Valley. This team was backed by a score of 80-0 against the University, 48-0 against the School of Mines and phenomenal scores against other teams. It was a trying time for all. Confidence was on the decline since the reverse by Arizona, and all realized Roswell's strength-none better than the players themselves. The Boosters' Club was tearing things up and every dollar and ounce of sup- port being contributed to the already splendid backing of students and friends added a little more to the weight of responsibility that rested on the shoulders of the team. And then when the Roswell people heard the slogan Get Roswell's Goatl' and replied through the press in sneering terms, the tension became so great that the nerves of the players threatened to snap. We will hold the Institute, they vowed between gritted teeth. It was a beautiful day. The grandstand was artis- tically and appropriately decorated with College pennants that waved to the sound of inspiring music. This was the largest crowd that ever assembled on that gridircng Page Eighty FOOTBALL-CONTINUED dressed in holiday attire and rooting with deafening cheers they created a never-to-be-forgotten scene. Taut muscles and strained determination characterized the actions of every Crimson player as he dived into the conflict. Every muscles under those uniforms sprang into motion with the snap of the ball. Along the lines spectators gasped with surprise, and then they burst into furious, hilarious joy as with machine-like precision the gritty College team slowly but surely advanced the ball and made their downs. To within ten yards of the coveted goal they fought, and then the fluke that cost the game occurred. Higgins, the star of the Institute backheld, intercepted a forward pass on his own five- yard line and got away on an open field for a touch-down. The Roswell players gasped a sigh of relief and with this encouragement buckled down to do the playing of their lives. They succeeded in keeping the College from scoring during the rest of the game, but they did not suc- ceed in outplaying the smaller eleven which kept up their pace throughout the long fought contest. The secret of N. M. A. Cfs great showing against 1 such odds of weight and experience is tersely summarized in the remark made by Coach Brown of the Institute team to the players after the game. They beat you on the chargef' l low did this occur? For two Weeks and more preceding the contest Coach Badenoch had drilled his men in charging and all thru the season he had harped upon its importance. I Never was a Mesilla Valley crowd so pleased over a Page Eighty-one football exhibition. All agreed that it was the highest class of football ever seen in this part of the country. As for their opinion of the outcome, they declare lt was as good as a victory . Following are the tabulated statistics of the season: COLLEGE ELEVEN GAMES V 4 October 22 College I2 E. P. M.

The new ruling requiring the girls to indulge in some form of physical training brought many recruits to the regular squad of last season. Some times a team is fortunate in having a natural goal tosser, but it takes time, patience and practice to train a forward. The two excellent forwards of last year's team, who had been with the squad for several years, did not return this fall. This meant that the team must expect a year or perhaps two of low score games. The squad this season included the following girls: Mabel I-lager, Henrietta Clausen, and Lucile Mandell, jumping cen- tersg Ruth Phelps and Emma Goebel, running centers: Ruth Brainard fcaptainj, Mary Pitts, Ethel Shearer, and Ruby Redding, guards, Julia Hamblen, Jettie Goddard, Dette Rentfrow, and Eula Crist, forwards. Of these the following played in first team match games: Ruth Brainard and Mai'y Pitts, guards: Mabel l-lager, Emma Goebel and Ruth Phelps, centersg Julia l-lamblen, Jettie Goddard and Ruth Phelps, forwardsg and Ethel Shearer and Dette Rentfrow, substitutes. There were no territorial match games secured, but two games were played with the El Paso High School Girls, the first on the college court, the second in El Paso. The Texas team won both contests. The High School team has two very good forwards and every member is an old experienced player, whereas about half of the College team was new material. The second team played two games with the Las Cruces Public School team, winning the first and losing the second game. The girls practiced faithfully even when it seemed that Page Eighty-five no match games would be arranged at all. The past record of our girls' basketball team is splendid and this yearis squad worked hard to maintain it. But it takes time to develop raw material and we can reasonably expect an excellent team next year, judging from the phenomenal progress made this year by those who had never even seen a basketball game. The College still holds the Territorial championship in Girls' Basketball and the indications are that we will hold on to this coveted trophy for several years to come. Ruth Brainard, captain of the team, did well at guard. She is a first class player and from her experience gave much support and instruction to the new girls. Mary Pitts has de- veloped from a novice to a promising guard. Mabel Hager and Ruth Phelps as centers are beth good and seemed to play with the same steadiness of last year. Both may be good material as forwards next year if we can spare Mabel from the position of jumping center. Emma Goebel has developed from the raw material stage and shows up equally well at running center and forward. Julia l-lamblen is at present the steadiest goal tc-sser, although this is her first year. Forward is undoubtedly her position and with a little more work to assist her she will be very reliable next y-ear. :lettie Goddard and Dette Rentfrow were beginners this year and have shown favorable indications of good guards. Ethel Shearer played some last year and seemed to develop wonderfully this year as guard. She was a close second for honors on the first team. The other players participated in second team games and seemed to enter into the sport with much spirit. BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM BOYS' BA SIQETBALL The I9II basketball season was one of hard luck. Bill Hall, star forward, met with an accident a few days before the first game, and was not able to play in the earlier contests. This lost l-laggart, who had played so successfully for our team since 1908, his running mate, and this materially handi- capped the team in their opening contests. The first game was with the Y. M. C. A. in E1 Paso. Our boys did some clever work in the first half, but went to pieces in the last. This resulted in a victory for the more experienced Y team. l-laggart and Hall did especially good work for the College. The second game was played with the E.. P. M. I. on the home court. The College team did not get into the game in their usual style during the first half, and the Institute ran the score up to a safe number. After the inter- mission the Crimson players gave a real exhibition of basketball, and made the soldiers play fast defensive basketball to keep the long end of the score. On january 27th the U. N. M. came here to try our skill. To many of the old students this was the most important game of the season, and during the whole contest the College specta- tors cheered our team and tried their best to help them. The home team started the game well, and it seemed that we would wing the guards did good work, especially Bousman, and the forwards played loose and got a number of shots, which were close, but unfortunately not good. Mayer is another player who deserves special mention in this hard fought game. It Haggart had had the support of Bill Hall, with Mayer as center, the score would have been in our favor. A week later the two teams met in Albuquerque. Our team was at a decided disadvantage on the larger floor played upon, and were unable to keep the second game from going the way of the first. The game, while fairly close, was not very exciting. Page Eighty-seven Next in line was the El Paso High School and a splendid game it was,-fast, close, exciting, and well played. This was Bill l-lall's first game, and with him in as forward and Mayer in center the team was strengthened immensely. Hall played his usual fast, steady basketball. The score was in our favor the first half, but in the last half of the game the l-ligh School made a number of points on foul goals, running their score up over us just one point at the last. Our Red Letter day came on February 18th, when the College team played the return game with the E. P. M. l. in the Y. M. C. A. in El Paso. The first half our boys only played together in spells, but in the second they outplayed their opponents by a wide margin. Bill l-lall was the star in the game, making five baskets, two of which were from the center of the field. Boat was in for the first time and showed up well as guard. The S. A. A. F. meet was held in El Paso a week later. The College won one and lost three of their games. On Friday afternoon the College played the E. P. H. S. and met their Waterloo in the contest. ln the second half Bousman's knee was hurt, this made several changes in our line-up. On the next morning the College played against the Y. M. C. A. and surprised them by walking away with the game to the tune of I9 to 6. Substitutes H. I-lall, Bone, and Smith played part of the last half. This victory put new life into the players for their third and hardest contest in the meet with M. I. A., when our boy-s played their last game with this teamg but the Mormons were more experienced players and won. Substi- tutes were used in the last game with the E. P. M. I., the regular players only going into the game to save the contest. This they were unable to do, and the hard luckn season ended with only one game to our credit in the S. A. A.F. meet. TRACK TEAM TIJE 1910 TRACK SEASON The track season of 1910 began about the first of March with a large number of men out for practice, altho a number of men had been training for a month before that date. Baseball interfered somewhat with the practice of track men as some of them were members of the baseball team, but regardless of this about twenty reported for work every night. Although no regular coach was secured to train the men, the prospects for a successful team were bright. A large number of men from the previous year's team were again in training and some gave promises of a few broken records later on. Owen Krueger of Kansas City, a member of the Freshman class, was later chosen to coach the team. He had been on the track team of the Kansas City Central High School, and had been under an exceptionally good coach. He was well qualified for the position, as the results of his work showed later. Edward Redding, one of the greatest weight men in New Mexico and the holder of four territorial records, was chosen captain. He was well up on track training and the good advice he was able to give to the men was learned thru experience. The local Field Day took place on the athletic field on the afternoon of Friday, April 29th. A half holiday was given for the event. Not the best of weather greeted the meet and the boys were thus unable to do as well as if there had been no wind blowing. No records were broken and only two of the many medals and pins offered were won. l Rass Harrison ran the low hurdles in less than thirty seconds and won the medal offered by mf -5?

Perhaps the relay races were the most exciting events of the day. The Rowgmahs won two of them, but the fastest time was made by the Freshmen, who hiked arc-und the oval in 51 l-5 seconds. There were four of these raccs, the first one being between the first and second Preps. The second group of runners included teams from the Rowg- mahs, Solteros, and Faculty.

THE FEDERATION TRACK MEET The first annual track meet of the Southwestern Amateur Athletic Federation was held on the College athletic field on Saturday, May 7, l9l0. A large number of teams was ex- Y ' : ' 22' - ... l Page Ninety-one pected to compete, but this dwindled until there were only three teams present. These were the El Paso High School team, the College team, and the El Paso Y. M. C. A. team. The track was in the best shape in which it has ever been in the history of the institution. To accomplish this meant lots of extra work on the part of the boys, who worked after -midnight on the two nights preceding the meet. But they were fully repaid for their Work when the College team got upon their toes and ran away with the meet in the manner they did. Seven first places out of nine events were awarded to the College and besides this the large loving cup was won by the College relay team. It was expected that the College would give their opponents a chase for their money, but it was not expected that the local team would run off and leave their visitors. It was great, and the smiles of satisfaction took a long while to wear off. From the crackiof the starteris pistol that sent Mayer and Blain leading down the hundred yard track it was evident that the College was first in the swim. A second heat, in which Rass Harrison kicked heel dust into the faces of his competitors ten yards behind, served to further authenticate the fact, and when in the final sprint Harrison and Mayer finished first and second, pandemonium reigned. The 440-yard dash likewise Went to the College, but the winner was a dark horse. Merrill outdistanced all the racers and made it in 57 seconds. It was expected that Clayton would win if any local man stood a show, but Farmer surprised them all by taking it after a single week's training. When TIIE 1910 TRACK SEASON-CONTINUED Nabours and Smith legged it higher on the high jump than the visiting jumpers, things looked blue for the E1 Pasoans, and the crowd in the grandstand roared with delight. In the mean- time Redding was shooting the I2-pound ball out past the forty foot mark, while no one from the I-Iigh School or Y. M .C. A. could toss it more than thirty, and Bousman and Boone easily took second and third places with 38 and 35 feet. Clayton was hampered by a bad knee, and the half mile went to Chenoweth of the High School, who sped around with the greatest form and speed ever seen on the College track. l-le broke the Territorial record of 2:17 I-5 seconds, lowering it to 2:l4. Bone came in second and only about two seconds be- hind Chenoweth. The running of Bone for the College was excellent, and as this is his first season out, great things are expected of him. The only other event that went to the visitors was the broad jump, the College scoring only one point in this. Before the hurdle race the Crimson supporters were conhdent of the ability of l-larrison, Blain and Lyon. Lyon was dis- qualified on a trivial matter and the College got first and second instead of all three places. It was agreed to eliminate the 220-yard dash, and prepara- tions began for the grand finale,-the mile relay race. Excite- ment was supreme when the first four men darted off for the Hrst lap. It was a pretty race between Wyman and Merrillg they ran neck and neck until the home stretch was reached, when Merrill rose to his toes and left the Y. M. C. A. man almost fifteen yards behind. lVlcCowen and Powers, who took up the race in the second and third quarters were fresh and in- creased the lead until, when Lyon darted off for the hnal lap, the other teams were hopelessly outdistanced. Miller of the Y. M. C. A. set off in the last quarter for all he was worth, but Lyon was entirely too much for him and the former gained but very little if any. Lyon was unable to compete in the pole vault and this caused the College students no little amount of worry as to the outcome of it, as Lyon was by far the best one in the institution on this event. Sheppard and Talavera entered for this event, but Shep- pard, having had only a week's practice, soon dropped out. Talavera, who never went more than eight and one-half feet, saw that it was up to him to win for the College. And he did. It took lots of time on account of so many entries and the fact that all the contestants were so evenly matched. But Talavera kept on trying and hnally got the cross bar up to the nine-foot- one-inch mark, and as this was just a little too high for the El Paso boys, the honor went to the College. Such was the triumphant ending of the first Federation meet. Gold and silver medals galore were the rewards of the College athletes. The trophies were awarded in the next Tuesdays assembly. Everything in the line of weather and track was ideal, and the crowd was larger than any that had appeared during the year. RECORD OF THE. MEET Key: C., College, I-l., El Paso High Schoolg Y., Y. M.

H Ira' . ... ll PgN tyth BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL It can be truthfully asserted that the baseball season of 1910 was a very successful one. In corroboration of that statement a concrete summing up of the season's games follows. Of seven games played, five were won and the two teams that defeated the College were both defeated by the home team in subsequent games, and more decisively than they had won against the Col- lege. The aggregate scoring of our team as compared with total scores of all opposing teams stand 73 for the former and 24 for the latter. Owing to the early beginning of good weather, practice began with corresponding promptness and it was possible to begin play- ing immediately after the close of the basketball season. Similar to the present year the opening game of the season was played on College grounds and with the Military Institute of E1 Paso. We won the first of the two games. The College won by the safe score of IO to 2 although because of the relative inexperi- ence of pitchers some feared a defeat. Carl Williams opened the game in the box, but after two innings of twirling received a nasty jolt with a pitched ball while at the bat. l-le was unable to play thereafter. This necessitated the substitution of Boone, who efficiently pitched the remaining innings. ,Howard who had been barred in the morning was allowed to play in the afternoon as catcher. Thomas constituted the other Page Ninety-tive half of the battery. It was a pretty game although the College experienced no trouble in attaining the net result of 8 to l. Two weeks later the College brought the High School up to get their scalps. This was done, although the El Paso boys put up a good fight. The score was I2 to 7. Beckwith and Howard pitched and caught respectively. The next two contests were played in a double header in the Pass City. Much to the surprise of all the first game played in the morning was lost to the High Schoolg score 4 to l. In the afternoon the College scored its next victory over the Military boysg I2 to 2 was the extent of this score. On April I8 the locals played in Socorro. This was still another double header, their opponents being the New Mexico Schoc-l of Mines team. Lyons pitched for the miners in the morning and won the game for them, but in the afternoon with another Socorro pitcher against Beckwith all honors were claimed by the College players. Score I8 to l l. The last game of the season occurred on April 23rd when the l-ligh School came up from El Paso. More interest was manifested in this contest because of the fact that the team had a game to its credit. Thus each nine stepped in with the de- termination to do its best. The College's best proved to be superior to the maximum efforts of the visitors, as shown by the score which stood 8 to 2 in favor of the N. M. A. C.

H up Svmhmr Enhg The student body of the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts consists of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshmen, Specials, Stenographers, and preparatory students, who have paid their entrance fees to the Registrar. At the beginning of the present school year the members met and elected officers according to custom. William Campbell was elected President, Paul Mayer, Vice-Presidentg John Powers, Treasurerg and Bertha Nlayer, Secretary. The first business to come before the students was that of boosting the football team by practicing yells and listening to a number of speeches on College Spirit. Several of the more oratorically inclined distinguished themselves as never before. John Powers was elected yell leader. At a later meeting of some of the students at the Y. M. C. A., with one or two mem- bers of the Faculty, plans were discussed for promoting student activities and organizations. The first event of a new nature was the first annual cane rush which was successfully carried out between the College and Preparatory students. The object of the instigators of this movement was to create a friendly rivalry between the two departments and thereby stimulate other contests between de- partments and also between classes. The experience in eastern universities as told by Professors Hammond, Squires, and Page Ninety-nine Schutz aided materially in the success of the student body activities during the year. Soon after the fire which destroyed the Old Main building and incidentally the constitution of the Student Body, a com- mittee composed of W. Rigney as chairman, John A. An- derson, Ruth Brainard, and Professor Hammond, as advisory member, was appointed by the President of the Student Body to draft a new constitution embodying the principles of the commission form of government. The work of this committee was completed within three weeks and on the l5th day' of December, l9l0, it was adopted. The work of the committee framing the constitution was most satisfactory, taking into con- sideration the many difficult problems to be considered. By this form of government the affairs of the students were put into the hands of a commission, consisting of thirteen members, chosen by the different classes. The duties thus placed upon the representatives of each class has made them taken an active interest in the deliberations of the Commission and effective service has been rendered the students as a whole and the College in general. This plan up to the present time has worked admirably, and with the few amendments or changes put into effect that possibly are needed, it will doubtless con- tinue to do so. , av. .xxx ENGINEERS X . X xx - X I nginvvra The Engineers' Association, which was organized some years ago by the Junior and Senior engineers as charter members, has been dissolved and in its stead there is a weekly seminar held, at which time all those, whether students, faculty members or Alumni, who are interested in the various engineering problems, meet and informally discuss topics which are usually found in several of the leading magazines on engineering. The seminar is not confined to any one particular branch of engineering, but subjects that are of special interest to the mechanical engineers are treated as well as those which may appeal to the civil or electrical engineer. The engineers are not very largely represented in this year's graduating class, there being in fact only one. About one-half of the members of the Junior class are pursuing engineering linesg one-fourth of the Sophomores are engineers, and the whole of the Freshman class have registered for engineering. The past graduates of the N. M. C. A. Engineering Depart- ment are proving themselves worthy and competent men, many Page One Hundred One of them holding responsible and important positions with a number of the leading manufacturing firms of the country. The Engineering Department is well equipped, having all the necessary machinery and small tools for working in both wood and metal. Several new machines have lately been added to the already good equipment, including four wood Working lathes and two machine lathes. The department also contains a carefully selected and arranged library and files of the best engineering periodicals. The Civil Engineering Department, after losing their entire equipment in the unfortunate fire last fall, have purchased a complete new set of instruments and now have as Hne an equip- ment as can be secured. The present class in Railroad Survey-- ing completed a survey for a railroad to be run from the grand- stand on the Athletic Field to the large water tank back of the college building, going via Prof. I-lagerty's residence. Thru the efforts of Prof. Bixby a pumping plant has been procured and next year the irrigation engineers will have a laboratory Wherein many problems may be demonstrated. Manual training is carried on in the engineering department, and those students contemplating Work along engineering lines register for this during their Preparatory course. - AGRICULTURAL CLUB Agrirnltnral Glluh Gbftirvra FIRST SEMESTER President . ........... ............... .....

A number of years ago this club was organized by students who were interested in Agriculture, and since that time it has played an important part in the activities of the Agricultural students. Every year has seen the formation of various clubs and organizations, but as time goes on they have one by one disappearedg but the Agricultural Club stays on forever. In this connection it may be mentioned that the Agricultural Club has the honor of being the oldest scientific student society in New Mexico and with this record of honor it enters upon its work with renewed vigor each year. All of last and most of the present year the Club has been the only active organization which has been managed and con- trolled by the students of the college without the aid or the supervision of the faculty. The Club meets every Wednesday at seven fifteen p. m. at Wilson Hall, which is the headquarters of the agricultural students. Page One Hundred Three . . . .Andrew Pattison . . . .Earl Wilson At the beginning of the present school year the officers of the club got busy and the work of the Club was soon under progressg most of the agricultural students readily responded to the call, and have taken considerable interest in the meetings. The attendance throughout the year has been encouraging and a number of times the room was almost packed. The programs are as a general rule interesting, the numbers being carried out by the members, although occasionally an outside speaker is secured. The program committee is wise in allowing the speakers to talk on some subject in which they are interested or have had special experience. The programs con- sist as a general rule of talks, papers, and an occasional debate on some agricultural subject, discussions of methods of the best agricultural practices, illustrated lectures by lantern slides and retlectoscope on certain subjects by the various professors. The agricultural faculty have taken an interest in the Club Agrirnltnral Qllnh Glnniimwh and are always willing to render assistance, either when asked to serve on the program or to give advice along certain lines. This is of course valuable help to the Club. The boys them- selves take considerable interest when they are placed upon the program and usually show that they have spent quite an amount of time in the preparation of their parts, and with such support as this the success of the Club is assured and there is no danger of its not filling its place. It is customary each year for the Club to give a few social functions and these have proven a success. ln the first semester the Club members and their friends met in Wilson Hall and enjoyed a pleasant eveningg during the first part of this the boys retired to the College farm where sides were chosen and a corn-shucking contest took place. ln the meanwhile the girls were busy at Wilson Hall with a quilting. The second part of the evening was spent dancing in the big reception room on a splendid Hoor and with excellent music. During the course of the evening refreshments were served consisting of cider, dough- nuts and apples. The Agricultural Club has long been a valuable assistant to the student interested in this line of work: not only does he re- ceive the benefit of experience and knowledge of various subjects through discussion of the other members, but he also learns how to present a subject of his own and speak before an audience. It develops in him the power to think quickly and clearly and not to become embarrassed or annoyed, and in short, gives him the confidence and command of himself which are so essential to every educated person. At the present time most of the agricultural students belong to this organization, notwithstanding the fact that a number of them live a considerable distance from the Collegeg and every student, no matter whether he is taking the agricultural course or not, may become a member of the organization if he so desires or is interested in this line of work. On the other hand for an agricultural student to graduate without ever taking any interest in the Agricultural Club would be as bad as one going through college with no interest in his work whatever. He would find out all too soon the opportunities which he has failed to take advantage of while here. As to the future of the Agricultural Club we predict many more successful years, and know that the experience, both from a practical and scientific standpoint, will be of the greatest value in after years.

CHAPTER I. Near the last of October, nineteen hundred and ten, several of the jolliest girls in college happened to collect every day in one of the class rooms during the noon periodg Finally they de- cided to organize a small soro1'ity, the name of which is still a secret. They are known to other people by their password. Accordingly a constitution and by-laws were promptly drawn up, a knock, signs of distress, hand clasp, and a pass- word were established. Doris Brown was elected nl-ligh Kalca- Page One Hundred Five lorumn and Carmen Gilliam, Keeper of the Palm Oil. Next day a grand feed was pulled off in the following man- ner-each girl brought a sufficient amount of the kind of food which she just Hlovedi' for nine hungry girls. Every crumb was eagerly devoured amid much merriment. Every month since then similar functions have been enjoyed, besides several uniquely original affairs at the home of the dif- ferent members, including a Hen partyf, a Slumber partyf, and a Candy pullf, COMMERCIAL CLUB Ihr Gtnmmvrrial Glluh President ............................... .....

S. l-lookland, Chairman Mohler Temple Charles Elliott As the name of this club indicates, its character is commer- cial, and so fills a place of its own. Its aims are similar to those of commercial clubs in business communities. Its purposes are: CU to foster a wholesome spirit in the institution of which it forms a part C21 to further the interests of all efforts put forth to beneht the student body and the school f3J to furnish means through which the membership of the club may get into touch with business interests, C41 to acquaint its members with business problems and conditions, and GJ to advance, as much as pos- sible, the interests of each member intellectually, socially and financially. The educational feature of the club is the predominant one. In order to make this as helpful as possible, a lecture course will be instituted for next year. This course will be outlined before the opening of the school year, and a schedule of subjects and dates arranged for several speakers. As far as possible, men who are specialists along the line of their subjects, and who have practical knowledge of the material they present, will be secured. The subjects to be discussed are such as are of special interest to commercial bodies, and with which every student of commerce should be familiar. While the lecture feature will be of value to the club, the Page One Hundred Seven programs carried c-ut by the membership itself will also be of benefit. These consist of written theses on industrial and econo- mic subjects, oral discussions of problems relating to industry and commerce, presentations of current commercial events, and de- bates on political and other questions affecting commerce and trade. ln this educational work, first consideration is given to local interests, such as the resources, industries, trade, and commerce of New Mexico and the Southwestg but the topics are not entirely limited by local boundaries, and subjects of national and international importance are taken up as Well. Apart from the educational features, the club hopes to be of service to its members in many other ways. It will keep in close touch with business people, and so be able to furnish material assistance in a business way. The Commercial Club is the youngest organization in the school. As yet, it is but a youth, with its life before it. True, it has something to its credit, but its work and its usefulness lie mostly in the future. When other volumes of the Swastika shall be written, it is hoped that the aspirations of this club will have' become achievements, and that it may have much in which to glory. CURRENT TOPICS CLUB Glurrvnt Efnpira Gllnh That it might not conflict with study hours, the Current Topics Club has persisted as last year in meeting on alternate Saturday evenings. This has necessitated constant conflict with athletic and social events, but in spite of this difficulty the Club has lived and grown larger. No organization is attempted. The four members of the English faculty make out programs and preside in turn. All College students may be members, and this year any mature Preparatory student has been welcome. At seven-thirty the members gather about a T made of Library tables and one after the other give important events which have occurred in the world since the last meeting. These often lead to extempore comments and good talk not down on the program. Then follows the consideration of the special topics assigned. At a November meeting there were character studies of such men as Judson Harmon and Woodrow Wilsong at other meetings Beveridge of Indiana, Julia Ward Howe, Leo Tolstoi, Senator Elkins, and Milwaul4ee's Socialist Mayor came up for discussion. Early in December we were discussing Mexico's chances for a successful revolution and the causes of the general Democratic victories at the recent election. By the middle of December we were examining New Mxico's new Page One Hundred Nine constitution and arranging for a public meeting, at which Presi- dent Garrison spoke most interestingly upon it. By the last of January we were discussing the Initiative and Referendum in general and in the succeeding meetings that discussion was care ried on with more and more definite limitation to the subject of the March debate with the University, On all these occasions there was much fresh, snappy com- ment by others than those to whom the special topics had been assigned, and so gradually the Club talked its way more or less informally, but always enjoyably, to the crucial test for the year, the debate with the University. Five of its members and one student outside of it debated the question at the local pre- liminary contest on March 4th. Three of the five, Messrs. Rigney, Powers, and Evans, were selected by a committee of the Faculty to represent the College, and after two weeks of further work on the question debated it on March 18th in Hadley l-lall with Messrs. Seder, Karsten, and Cook of the University,-and won the decision. It was the general opinion that their success was largely due to their interest in public events and careful previous study of the question, and for this the Current Topics Club must be allowed a fairly large share of the credit. . This brings the work of the year up to the date of writing. Vvhile the stimulus of a coming debate will be lacking in the closing weeks of the term, the Club will doubtless find sufficient incentive in the current topics and problems of these weeks, and so close the year with a continuously good record behind it. ming lmnmvrfa Olhriniiern 2-Xaanriaiiun p President . ......................... .

C l a ire Buell At the opening of school, the prospects for the Y. W. C. A. were bright. With a furnished room of its own the Association felt capable of accomplishing something along lines other than financial, as had been necessary before, but the burning of the Old Main Building left them once more without a home. The loss of the room into which so much thought and work had been put was discouraging, but the girls pluckily set to work and as a result have now over three hundred dollars from which to furnish the new room that they hope to have when the next new building is put up. The Social Committee has clone good work during the year. Besides the Opening Reception and later, the County Fairn, which was a social success as well as a financial one, a charm- ing tea was given in honor of Miss Daniels who has clone so much to make the Y. W. C. A. what it is. There has been a great improvement in the religious lite of the organization, meetings now being held every week instead of every two weeks, as was done last year. The meetings have been interesting, while some have been led by the girls, the Association has had several good addresses by outside speakers. Of the seventy girls who have enrolled in college during the year, sixty are members of the Y. W. C.' A. and many of these belong to the three Bible study classes which the Associa- tion has maintained during the two semesters. At the annual election in March the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Claire Buellg Vice- President, Doris Browng Secretary, Ruth Brownleeg Treas- urer, Mildred l-lookland.

Wilcox E115 Svnltvrna It is with a feeling of forced pleasure that we are allowed to assume our position in the limelight once again and make public confession of our many achievements during the past year. Every member of the club, with the exception of ten of us, likes publicity and greedily searches through all college publications as well as the Saturday Evening Post and Ladies' Home Jour- nal for the appearance of his name in print. Nine of us likes to toot his own oboe, so we will refrain from stating anything definitely. It is more agreeable and safer to ask questions and let the truth seep out than to attempt to tell the truth and have it questionedg therefore we will begin by asking if three members of the club don't belong to the Glee Club. Don't they? Can,t they sing sweetly? How many times did one of the three attend? We wish we all could sing. After the Glee Club in importance comes the College Orchestrag none can dispute that-but to prove that we patronize even the minor organizations,-don't we send four Solteros to orchestra practice every Tuesday and Saturday? Does anyone ever find fault with their musical ability? In neither case have we al- lowed members to double up and belong to both organizations simultaneously, and, by a secret process in mathematics of add- ing four to three and subtracting the sum from ten we find that three remain unaccc-unted for in the musical world. What did Page One Hundred Fifteen we do with them? Didn't we build a new adobe shack and require two of them to live in it, apart from the rest of us, for a whole year? Didn't we force the third and last one to swear that even tho he may possess enormous latent musical ability he must subdue it and not free it-yet? l-laven't we a piano in our house? Who plays it? Now we will go into the realm of sport: Did one of us ever fail to witness a football, baseball, or basketball game dur- ing the administration of Taft? Didn't four of us, under 'the guidance of one Durham help defeat the class of ,OS in a strate- gic football game? Didn,t we defeat all comers at baseball last year and finish the season with an average of one thousand per cent? Did we help defeat the college basketball team this winter? There are numerous other athletic questions concern- ing horseback riding, Walks to Mclrie Hall and back every night, repairing dormitory chairs for nothing, and plumbing and digging ditches on Sunday that had better not be asked. Are we not preeminently the social pace-setters of the Valley? Who can count the number of social affairs engineered by us during this college year? Didn't we enjoy ourselves at all the functions given by the Merry Maiden Mystic Makers? Where were we l'lallowe,en? Where were we on St. Valentines Night? Although we know that none of these questions can be ques- tioned, we wish it strictly understood that we are not without fault in a few minor ways. As soon as we can mend those deficiencies we will feel qualified to join the above minority group-but-when will that be? .:,l:,,.,,:gE3:E5.:EZ x h fb 52:92-an . NN ' 1 , N, y -.....

R u pert Stewart fflllrnihrra Sidney Kirkpatrick Dixon Deemer Sidney l-loward Reed Brainard Owen Krueger William Hall James Nourse Rupert Stewart William Campbell John l-laggart Olaf Windsor Leslie Herrmann Arthur Laferriere William Knorr Henry I-lall Samuel Bousman The Phi Delta Chi Fraternity was organized at the beginning of the school this year, mainly for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among the members. This is the first organization of its kind in the history of the college and seems to have taken favorably with every one. The fraternity was organized with the following as charter members: Sidney Kirkpatrick, Dixon Deemer, Sidney Howard, William Hall, Reed Brainard, and Owen Krueger. During the year the following members have been taken in and afforded a number of jolly times when they Page One Hundred Seventeen were initiated: Samuel Bousman, John l-laggart, Rupert Stew- art, William Campbell, l-lenry Hall, James Nourse, Olaf Windsor, Arthur Laferriere, William Knorr, and Leslie Herr- mann. The fraternity at present is only a local one, but it is hoped that in a few years it will be granted a national charter and will then be put on a firmer basis. The returning members have planned to rent a frat house next year and promise a num- ber of good times to every one. K.G.Q lf. CE. 69. fKan,t Get Organizedj One of the most flourishing organizations in the College this year was organized in the fall and now numbers between eigh- teen ancl twenty members. It is a well known and recognized fact that frats., clubs, and societies of every sort and description form a very important and prominent part in college education. Every one is called upon, more or less, to take some part in these various organizations. In order to work in harmony and accomplish the very best results, a thorough lrnowledge of par- liamentary law is essential. ln the business and social world many who graduate with practically little or no knowledge of how to address or conduct a meeting, are called upon to take some active and prominent part. There never was a time when men and women who can were in such demand. Their services are needed upon all occasions, at the club, in business councils, in the halls of legislatures, in fact wherever and whenever men congregate for deliberative purposes. Realizing the full value of such knowledge and practice, a number of college men met during Thanksgiving week and formed plans to discuss parliamentary law at odd moments in a very informal manner. Witli these as a nucleus, other students Page One Hundred Nineteen became interested, and the organization of the K. G. O. Club resulted. Because of the necessity of a systematic manner of studying this subject, each member secured a text book-Rob erts' Primer of Parliamentary Law-and regular lessons and quizzes became the order. One and only one permanent officer was chosen, a Sergeant at Armsn, in the person of Crafter Campbell. The Club meets once a week and at each meeting a new chairman and secretary are elected to serve for that time, thus giving every member of the society the necessary- practice in these offices. A Qccasionally extemporanecus speeches are called for, afford- ing splendid opportunity for exercising the art of quick and accurate thinking while speaking. Many spirited debates have been enjoyed. There is no doubt whatever that there is a great demand for trained debators as representatives in various debat- ing contests with other schools. Realizing this, the Club expects in the future to do more along that line. There is no real rea- son why more interest shculd not be taken in that kind of work if the same spirit which has prevailed during the existence of the K. G. O. continues. Membership is not limited to the College men alone, nor to only the students in the institution, but includes Alumni and members of the Faculty as well. On the whole the organization feels well repaid for the strenuous efforts put forth, and at the close of the present school year can see unmistakable signs of great improvement along parliamentary lines. DORM CLUB Hlrillir liall lVlcFie Hall, still known as The Dormitoryn in spite of the fact that there are now others, has this past school year had as its family twenty-three girls, some dozen teachers and other adults, and at meals an average of about thirty boys. For the last named at mealsn is hardly an accurate state- ment since the minutes before meals and the hour after the six o'clock dinner have usually seen the living room thronged with boys reading, playing games, at the tables, singing about the piano, or talking with girls in the window seats, on the settees, or at that most popular place-the wide doorway, where con- versation seems greatly assisted by twisting the portieres. While sometimes deploring the inevitable, Good night, boysg it is time you were goingu, the Dean and Matron recognize the value to the boys of the feeling that the Dorm is, not only a place to eat, but also a home centre, and appreciate their willingness to be very often useful as well as ornamental. Appreciate also the never failing good nature with which they obey the Good- nightn. This willingness to be useful, and to go good naturedly when they must is also true of the larger groups that throng the living room, hall, and dining room on Social Nights, and tho, never ready for the Home Waltz and the call to return tables, chairs, and piano to their places, which come so inevi- tably at the stroke of ten, yet respond quickly to both never- theless. The twenty-three girls for whom, theoretically at least, the l-lall has been conducted have had a good year of well mingled Page One Hundred Twenty-one work and play, a year in which, as usual, new friendships have been formed and old ones have grown strongerg a year in which, as usual, there have been besides the public affairs, good times among themselves, like the Tacky Partyu, the Hay- riden to the picture show, picnic supper, and the numerous Hspreadsng good lessons, too, of standing by each other and the house, like the flag contest with the O-We-Go-Pi boysg good lessons, too, we hope, in wider sympathies and broader under- standing, in short, the many lessons girls learn when they live among a group of other girls from varying homes and under conditions which call constantly for conduct consistent with the good of the whole. The lower west hall has been, as before, set aside for teach- ers and other grown ups not part either of the student body or of the managing staff of the l-lall. With praiseworthy loyalty these have lived up to the conditions of their presence,-nom interference with the student order of the house, but general helpfulness in it. Tempting odors from chafing dish suppers, light laughter from tea gatherings, and other signs of mild fes- tivity may have occasionally disturbed the peace of none too concentrated study in the rooms above, but these pass lightly from memory when we recall how patiently these dwellers along the lower west hall have presided at sometimes too ebullient tables in the dining room, and how courteously they have re- frained from too obvious sociability in study hours. It may be true that no house is large enough for three fami- lies, but lVlcFie I-lall has proved large enough for at least three widely differing elements because these elements have been will- ing to be combined into one family. For this and for other blessings above suggested those in charge of Hall matters offer up most hearty thanks. fy., .

This club is founded upon the principles of equality, jus- tice and equal privileges to all membersu. lts object is to secure a usquaren three times a day, to promote society, and secure justice to the fair sex. Each officer in our club has a duty to perform. The President calculates the number of bites necessary for one member to clean up all the extra pie on the table, also manages all the love-sick members. The Vice- President, to hold his office, finds it necessary to have four large eyes, so with these he can see any problem confronting the Pies. The Secretary must be a Prep., and know just enough to keep the other Prep. members from pouring water into the college men's chairs. The Treasurer has to be an in- surrecto so he can get the cash in without marring any oneis complexion. There are still a few other offices such as Chief Page One Hundred Twenty-three Reacher, Chief Spotter ftable cloth spotterj and, the Keeper of the Prince Albert, which are now open, but Will be filled at the next regular meeting. The club has carried out a few social stunts during the year. The first of these was a hayride to Las Cruces and return. The next was a ball, given in November. All the college people were invited to attend and this they did in large numbers. The hall was decorated in blue and White, and in college pennants. It was without doubt one of the best dances of the year. It wc-uldnft be right to refrain from mentioning some of our special days, such as that of last Thanksgiving day, when Mrs. Lafferty took such pains to prepare a large feast for us. The dinner did not take place until evening so the football boys would not have to break training. The meal was great, and after it was over toasts and speeches were made in honor of the College football team. Un Christmas another special feast was given to those who were not fortunate enough to go home for the holidays. A number of the Dormitory girls were invited to partake of the dinner and all those present claimed they had never had such a good time and so much to eat.

Laferriere Membership Committee ......... ln the fall of the school year of l908-09 the Catholic young people attending the college met and organized a club which has since been known as the Cardinal Gibbons Club in honor of Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore. At the end of the school year, this club did not cease to exist, for at the last meeting plans were made for the coming session. The second year with its large increase in membership brought new difficulties in the way of providing for transportation to mass every Sunday at Las Crucesg but these were soon over- come and the club continued to prosper in its work. At the beginning of the semester this fall, the older members of the organization began an active campaign for membership, result- ing in an increase to twenty-one active members. Quite con- trary to the experience of the past two years, the attendance this year has been very constant and the interest in the work of the club has greatly and constantly increased. This Club has had a purpose from the start, first and pri- marily to make it possible for the Catholic students residing at the college to attend church each Sunday morningg secondly but certainly of hardly less importance, the opportunity of be- coming better informed in matters of religion. The knowledge gained in the club enables the members to talk intelligently on Page One Hundred Twenty-seven . ....... john Powers, Anna Gross the subject and also to defend the position of the Church with reference to the social and other problems of the day. The work of the club this year has been along the same lines as that pursued for the past two yearsg namely, a study of Car- dinal Gibbon,s book, Faith of Our Fathersf' Although this volume furnishes a basis for discussion, yet a large number of questions are brought up and discussed relating to the Church, her policy and teachings, not suggested by it. The regular line of the work of the Club has also been varied from time to time by musical programs, which have been greatly enjoyed. At the regular meetings, which occur immediately after mass, the discussion is led by one or two members, who have been assigned a subject the previous Sunday. Those conducting the meeting prepare to answer all questions upon their subject and also suggest topics relative to their subject for discussion. The Club wishes to thank Dr. Garrison for his cooperation and the privilege of using the College bus on Sunday morn- ingsg and also to thank Rev. Vandermaesen for the pleasant and comfortable meeting place arranged by him for the Club at no small expense. The Club has done little this year in a social way, but it is hoped that before the end of this school year some social stunt will be given. President . . . Vice-President Secretary . . .

Anderson One Hundred Twenty-eight 'Quang !HH2n'a Glhriatian Awanriatinn At the time of going to press of this book, the Y. M. C. A. is out of debt and has a small surplus to its credit. When the school year began, there was a slight debt overhanging the asso- ciation and it was found advisable to increase its liabilities, in order to make the building inhabitable. Screens were put over the windows and doors and other slight repairs were made which ran its total obligations up to over two hundred dollars. This deficit hampered the work of the Y. Nl. C. A. all fall and winter, but was cleared up in the spring, mostly by subscriptions given by members of the Faculty and other friends of the insti- tution. The small surplus now on hand will be used in furnish- ing the social rocm with magazines, supplying some much needed small gymnastic apparatus- and in making a few necessary repairs. The membership in the Association this year is higher than it was last year at this season, and has consisted of a group of energetic Christian men, and much good work has been accom- plished. The total membership up to March 20, I9l l, was ninety, fifty-one of whom were active members. The most important work of the organization, the Bible study work, the nucleus of all student associations, has been a success during the past year. Ten regular classes were started in the fall with a total enrollment of about ninety! male students. This was exceptionally good considering that only about one hundred male students reside in the close vicinity of the college or Mesilla Park. The Religious Committee, under Chairman W. Rigney, has done some excellent work during the past year. Tuesday evening meetings have been conducted throughout the year. These meetings have been in charge of this committee and special speakers have been obtained from Las Cruces, E1 Paso and the near-by vicinity to make talks to the boys. Weekly prayer Page One Hundred Twenty- Wine meetings were held in the building on Monday noons until a few weeks into the second semester, when it was decided to discontinue them, because of the difficulty in getting an attend- ance, due to the shortness of the dinner hour. The Social Committee was instrumental in giving two shows, one a Shakespearian drama, The Merchant of Venison, and the other a vaudeville, in which Wlnhe Great Unknown was featured. Both of these shows proved to be financial successes as well as very entertaining. Several open house receptions, to which ladies were invited, were given in the association building during the two semesters. In the first half of the year quite a number of informal, get-together meetings for men were held. At these meetings boxing, wrestling and other athletic stunts along with music, made up the program. The Athletic Committee has been able to do but little. A dressing room, rubbing table, and baths have been furnished to the college teams and the building has been made the resort of visiting teams while here. During the second semester, by the efforts of a few athletically inclined members, a wrestling mat was installed in the attic of the building and now, almost any night in the week, a number may be found participating in this sport. A horizontal bar, parallel bars, Indian clubs, punching bag, and boxing gloves are also at the disposal of the members. One of the most important steps taken by the Association was the adoption of a new constitution. Some of the important changes in it are: provision for an advisory board, which will consist of three members of the faculty, three residents of the community, two alumni and three students, the doing away with a student treasurer and making this officer a member of the factulty, and the providing for a paid secretary who can devote most of his time to the Work of the Association. Because of the lack of funds, no General Secretary- was in- stalled in the Y. M. C. A. during the past year. The student President has been allowed a small remuneration for doing this work. Y. M. C.

P g One Hundred Th! ty 1 4 SCENES FROM POLITICSU r DEBATING Debating has been exceptionally profitable since it was made a permanent factor of college life, four years ago, and this year has been no less so than before. The interest was kept up by means of the Current Topics Club, in which occurred a few informal debates during the year in order to prepare for the final contests. This club more than anything else has stimu- lated debating in the college and brought it to another success- ful year. The Preliminary Debate took place at Hadley l-lall, Satur- day night, March 4, under the direction of Prof. Kyle. The question was the same one which had been submitted to the University for the intercollegiate debate, and was used in order to give the debaters a chance to become familiar with both sides of the question. It was stated- Resolved: That The Ore- gon Form of The Initiative and Referendum Should Be Adopted by New Mexico. Those who supported the affirma- time were: Carl Williams, Harold Evans, and joseph Rigneyg those on the negative were: William Knorr, john Powers, and Clarence Thomas. The speakers did remarkably well on both sides and excitement was high when the judges, President Gar- rison, and Professors Vaughan and Daniels' declared for the negative. However, the main purpose of the Preliminary be- ing to determine the three best debaters to constitute the college team, the judges retired to discuss the matter among themselves. The Hnal decision was in favor of Powers, Rigney and Evans' and was received with applause. The contest served to double the interest in debating, and the hopes of the college were placed on these Dauntless Three. The Annual Intercollegiate Debate between the Agricul- Page One Hundred Thirty-seven tural College and the University at Albuquerque occurred at the college, March l8, a large and enthusiastic crowd attending. Prof. Kyle was chairman of the occasion and Prof. Wilcox called time for the speakers, who were governed by regulation rules in regard to time, each one being allowed ten minutes for constructive arguments and afterwards five minutes each for rebuttal. The visiting team was composed of Messrs. Cook, Karsten and Seder, who had chosen the affirmative view of the initiative and referendum question. The college team supported the negative. It was hotly contested. Each man in succession put into his alloted time a remarkable amount of sound reasoning. But the decision was rendered in favor of the negative, the judges being Dr. Sexton, Mr. Strong and Rev. Mr. Rorick, all of Las Cruces. Success was attributed partly to the excellent coaching of Prof. Kyle, assisted by others of the faculty, and partly to the good team work of our men. While both sides had their argu- ment divided into three main points to be treated specially by each speaker, the college men gained favor through a unity of forceful argument. Another very important factor in our tri- umch was that our debators were more thoroughly familiar with both sides of the question than the opposing team. The Uni- versity men showed themselves to be excellent orato-rs, but the Aggies Won out in point of argument. The college is proud of its debating record, having won the decision of the judges three times out of the four contests since the Intercollegiate Debate was instituted. The first year, l908, the college sent its team to Albuquerque and brought back the honors. In l909 the University came here for the contest' and won from us. Last year our men traveled to the Uvarsityn City and returned victorious. This year is the first in which the visiting team failed to win. Long may the record of l9ll continue! 'v,.. , , i V g i' TI-IE ORA'fORlCAL CCPNTEST On Tuesday, the Sth of December, the local oratorical con- test was held in Hadley Hall. Miss Frances l-linds of the Commercial Department and Charles Briggs of the Sophomore class were the only contestants for the honors. The subject of Miss Hinds, oration was The Challenge of the Timesn- while that of Mr. Briggs' was The Menace of the Slums . The entire assembly period was taken up by the speakers. Mr. Briggs spoke first, and he delivered his oration on the present condition of the life in the slums of the great American cities in a very clear and convincing manner. Miss Hinds' oration was somewhat longer, and on an equally good subject. Her delivery, as well as the excellence of her paper won her the decision. The Territorial contest was held in Las Vegas on December 29th. This is the Hrst time the College has sent a young lady representative to the Territorial Oratorical contest. Miss l-linds received third place in this contest. Uhr Glhallvnge nf the Cifimrn Every age has its issues. Every epoch is characterized by a few dominant problems to be solved by the men of that time. In the sixteenth century, when Luther nailed his thesis to the door of the church at Wittenburg, and started a reformation which swept over Eurc-pe, the issue was religious liberty. When our Revolutionary fathers opposed the oppression of the mother country, political liberty- was the issue. ln the last generation, when the United States was threatened with dissolution, and the nation endured the horrors of war, the problem was one of national integrity. The age in which we live has its own peculiar issues, and they are as great as ever taxed the power of man. In this peaceful Page One Hundred Thirty-nine and progressive time many do not realize that the nation has reached another crisis, but those alert to the affairs of the times are aware that such is the case. The crisis is political, but has come about so slowly and quietly that it has scarcely been rec- ognized. A new epoch is upon us, and its issues vitally concern our Democracy. Such difficulties as ours cannot be settled with sword and cannong that were easy compared with the way the citizens of the United States must solve the present problems. America is entering into a new political era. Just where it' began or when it will end, is uncertain, but the events of the last decade have shown a decided change in the policies of the nation. The change is due to natural growth and development. Ours is not yet an old nation, but it has begun to face the diffi- culties of the older ones. It has reached maturity, and hence- forth must view conditions from another standpoint. Our fron- X tier is gone. With the admission of New Mexico into the Union, far-distant Alaska is the sole remaining territory-. Now, we are a great, united nation in the strength of its new maturity, but entering into a period when all that strength will be taxed. Along with our growth and development in recent years has come a recognition of the limitation of the country's material resources. We have a great increase of population, but no cor- responding extension of territory, or the source of common supplies. The old idea that the nation,s wealth is inexhaustible, has passed away, and in its stead has grown a new idea, that of developing and preserving the resources at hand. Out of this idea have grown the conservation policies which are gaining more and more prominence today. For several centuries the older nations have dealt with this question, but with us it was scarcely heard of twenty years ago when Gifford Pinchot began to advocate forest conservation in America. In the last few years the issue has grown to enormous proportions. Not only the conservation of forests is concernedg but water power, minerals, and products of the soil. Corporations are endeavoring to get control of these resources, and to take them out of the hands of the people. Every forest, every waterfall, every mine, and every wheat field, is an alluring temptation to the greedy trusts. A corporation sees in a mountain waterfall a possibility of harnessing and distributing its power in the form of electricity, and of exacting perpetual tribute from the people. When the trusts control the means of subsistence, the people are slaves. The problem of conservation, then, is to devise a means of preserving the nationis material resources, and, to pre- vent their control by the trusts. But in the commercial world, more than anywhere else- is evident the change of conditions in the United States. The abnormal growth of combinations has caused the change. A short time ago, the individual had the right of free initiative in business, and trade was carried on with healthy competition, but that system is becoming a thing of the past. Now, business is organized into combinations which own and control commerce. There is no competition, hence the people must pay exorbitant prices demanded of them by the all-powerful trusts. Almost every article of common consumption is under the control of combinations of trade from production until it reaches the consumer. In fact, the consumer is about the only industrial unit that is organized for protection. Can such a system be in harmony with the principles of democratic government? The battle is between the people and the trusts. Practically every issue of the age is involved in this struggle between the many and the special few. The greatest problems before our government now areg to secure for the people control of the nation's material resources, and, to provide protection for the individual in business. To secure legislation in favor of the people, the greatest good for the greatest number, is the para- mount issue of today. The task is no small one, for the trusts are mighty. They have corrupted politics through the press, through the courts, Page One Hundred Forty and through the legislatures. They have lured into their ser- vice a host of venal politicians. To meet issues of such magni- tude, we must put into public office men who will do the will of the people. We must do away with the dishonest politician and put in his stead true men, men who have the interest of their country at heart, men who are not afraid to condemn the op- pressors of the people, and who will stoop to serve them. We must have men of ability, strength, and power, to fill positions of public trust. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands, Men whom the lust of office does not killg Men whom the spoils of office cannot buyg Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog, In public duty and in private thinking. When the poetis prayer is answered, then our political prob- lems will be solved. But the people must solve the problems. The realization that the citizen is directly responsible for the government, is rapidly growing. It is useless to try to shift the burden to the shoulders of a few. It must be borne by all alike. The time has come when the citizen must possess the same qualities that he demands of the man he elevates to office. The nation's service cannot be done as it should be by other than able, honest, and true citizens. We need more men who do not merely serve political party, but stand firm for their own 'Page One Hundred Forty-one principles, and demand what they Want. Give us citizens of in- telligence and judgment and our political dangers will be averted. Never has there been more attention paid to the training of such citizens than at the present time. ln our schools the youth are taught the principles of governmentg in the homes of the land political events are discussed: from the press accounts of public proceedings are gleanedg and from the lecture platform public opinion is moulded. Qur great educational facilities are preparing the people to meet the responsibilities of democratic government as never before, Now is the testing time of popular government. Democracy is on trial. Other nations are watching us with jealous eyes to see if our liberal government shall fall. England believes We will yet have to adopt Monarchy. But the present crisis has been brought upon us by the encroachments of plutocratic trusts. The outcome depends on the men of this time. Democracy appeals to the people to rise and defend her. Our nation,s peril is our challenge. Will it be met and answered? The challenge of this age must be answered by the men of today. The problems must be solved by the united efforts of all citizens. Will they respond? Not once in our history have the people refused to respond when the nation was in peril. The greater the peril, the quicker has been the response. Men have laid down their lives even when the cause seemed hopeless. They will not fail now. They cannot fail now. American pa- triotism cannot be subdued. ' THE ROUND-UP Editor ..............

The charming Co-eds were made up in true colonial style, while most of the gallants appeared on the scene in dress uniform. The dancing consisted of a Virginia Reel, a Quad- rille, and a few of the graceful, old-fashioned square dances. 9.33 On Friday evening, March 4th, a dignified gathering con- sisting of the Seniors and their friends, met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L .Young, of Las Cruces, for the purpose of having a time. Progressive whist was indulged in, while Miss Blickenstaff and Mr. Roberts furnished the crowd with music. After the refreshments, consisting of salad, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake were served, all gathered around the piano and made marry singing college songs. 39:31 Little Mountain came into prominence when the Agricul- tural Club gave a moon light picnic there, Friday evening- March l8th. The crowd reached the base of the mountain about nine o,clock. At once they set out to climb, leaving a trail of blazing yuccas behind to light their way back to the camp. Some very nearly reached the top, but as Prof. and Mrs. Bixby were diligent and faithful chaperones, all were re-called and gathered around the lunch baskets to gain strength for the journey home. -Q! -2 -9. Frorn 8 until IO, Friday evening, March 25th, the Y. M. C. A. building was thrown open to members and their friends. A small but jovial crowd assembled, and the greater part of the evening was spent in playing 42',. -9- at S Miss Ray Hines played the part of a charming hostess by entertaining the Junior and Sophomore classes in her home in Old Mesilla, on Friday evening, April lst. The management of the affair did justice to her reputation for social skill, for not a moment between the hours of 8 and l l, was there a lull in the round of pleasure. -Q! S! 2 Miss Anna Shindler entertained the 42 club at the girls' Dorm. on Saturday evening, April Znd. Besides the mem- bers of the club several of their friends among the boys and girls were present. At the close of the evening ice cream and cake were served, and the prizes were awarded for the playingg Miss Audie Crist capturing first, and the Booby falling to Miss Olive Buvens. Page One Hundred Forty-four Svnrietg-rnntinurh Friday evening, April l8th, the Merry Widow Orchestra gave their annual Baile in Hadley Hall. A large crowd was present, consisting of the college people and many of the younger set of Cruces. The music was excellent, the dances long, the intermissions short' and everyone was kept busy dur- ing the entire evening. S! Q -Q Thursday evening, April 28th, the Seniors and their invited friends, gathered at the home of Prof. Hagerty, as a birthday surprise. The crowd was met by Mr. Hagerty, and ushered into the parlor, catching the Professor entirely off his guard. But he responded nobly to the occasion, and gave a hearty welcome to all. The parlor was cleared and several couples participated in dancing. Games were also indulged in. Dainty refreshments of salad, olives, coffee, sherbet, and cake were served. 9. 3 Q The annual Field Day ball was given in Hadley Hall, Friday evening, April 29th. Contrary to expectations only a small crowd was in attendance. Prof. and Mrs. Hagerty proved admirable chaperones, and the music of the Merry Widow Orchestra was excellent. After six of the twenty dances on the program, medals were awarded to Rass Harrison and Verner Clayton, winners of the track events of the afternoon. Presentation was made by Dr. Macarthur to Harrison of a medal given by Messrs. Schaphorst and Mitchellg to Clayton, a medal given by Owen Krueger. Punch was served as refreshments. Page One Hundred Forty-five Mr. O. Miller entertained the members of the Faculty, Friday evening, May 5th, in honor of Dr. Macarthur. Al- most every male member of the Faculty was present and entered into the spirit of the affair. Each guest was assigned an im- promptu, individual stunt, to be performed as his name was called, and every one responded nobly. Prof. Garcia especially distinguished himself with his thrill- ing tale of How I killed my first codling moth. Prof. Hagerty spoke eloquently about things celestial on the some- what uncertain subject of Five minutes on a comet's tail. Others tc-ld stories, reminisced, or sang solos, duets, and quar- tettes. ,Q gg Q On Saturday evening, May 6th, the cadets of the battalion gave their annual hop in Hadley Hall. The event was given in honor of Major George, the commandant. The hall was decorated with the flags belonging to the battalion, swords, guns, etc., while most of the officers and privates wore their uniforms, making the atmosphere quite military. Q -'QL Q. During the last week of school President Garrison threw open his beautiful new home, on several different occasions. On Saturday evening, May I4-th, the girls of the Dorm. were entertainedg on Sunday the Senior class dined there, and on Nlonday night the Faculty and wives and friends gathered there. On Tuesday evening the College past and present athletes were entertained. The boys assembled about 8:30 p. m.- and athletics in general were discussed. Many short talks were made. Srnrietg-rnntinurh On Thursday evening, May l9th, the College and Alumni united in the Commencement Ball and Banquet given in Had- ley Hall. This was a particularly delightful affair, being a marked departure from the usual custom of giving the banquet to only the members of the association and their immediate friends, for this time the affair was open to the friends of the Alumni association and the College. That the friends were numerous was proven by the crowd of two hundred people who gathered together in Hadley Hall at 7 o'clock, and by 8:30 they were all seated and enjoying the hospitality of the Alumni. The hall was beautifullly decorated in navy blue and white, the Senior colors, and the tables looked attractive in their flower decorations. While the bounteous banquet, consisting of Dalasmah and Tuneseehc sandwiches, olives, pickles, salted almonds, maca- roons, senoradedos, coffee, mints, ice cream and cake, was being served by the girls of the Preparatory department, the Las Cruces orchestra discoursed music from its place among the palms on the stage, and the Alumni and their friends talked and enjoyed themselves. When all had finished, Mr. W. A. Sutherland, toastmaster of the evening, arose and giving a short speech appropriate to the occasion, announced the utoastersn of the evening. Miss Lute Foster was the first to respond, welcoming the 'IO class as members of the Alumni, after which she gave a clever and very witty poem on the class with a play on the names of the members. Donald Young gave an interesting talk on College memories. He was fol- lowed by Oscar Snow, Owen Krueger, lsidoro Armijo, Cor- nelius Henry, and Prof. Hiram Hadley. About this time it was noticed that Rupert Stewart was very anxious to begin dancing, as he made his speech very brief. R. l... Young made a short but interesting talk on thing in general, followed by Charles Briggs and W. Rigney. Dr. McBride talked on the need of the College to the whole Territory, and Dr. Ciar- rison's mention of the Hlrive hundred and twenty-three clubn, and his bear story were followed by a lively little speech by Prof. Pattengill. College spirit was exhibited in a rousing cheer, and the banquet brought to an end by the singing of all present Auld Lang Sync. ln a short time the room was cleared and dancing com- menced. The grand march was led by Arthur Fraker, '10, and lVliss Cox. ' -Q. 3 9. The opening reception was held at the home of President Garrison, Friday evening, September 9th. This reception is given annually by the President to the Faculty, Board of Re- gents, the students, and all friends of the College. It is always an enjoyable affair- enabling the old and new students and Faculty to mingle, but this year the President threw open his home, and proved to the large crowd of at least a hundred his true hospitality. The house and grounds were softly lighted by Japanese lanterns and throughout the evening an orchestra furnished music. After the guests had been received by Mr. and Mrs. Garrison, assisted by Mrs. Hiram Hadley, Dr. lVlcBride, lVlr. and Mrs. Vincent May, and Miss Elizabeth Garrison, they Page One Hundred Forty-six Sanrietg-rnntinnrh strolled through the spacious rooms and up into the loggia, delightfully cool and pleasant. Here they enjoyed the renew- ing of last year's friendships, and the making of new ones. S5 S! 3 On Friday evenin, October twenty-eighth, the Alumni en- tertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Snow with one of the most charmingly unique affairs ever given by a College crowd. The entire place from the barn to the house, and even the very atmosphere radiated a spooky l'lallowe'en feeling. As one entered the reception room they were greeted by a ghostly person holding his head under his arm. Thence on to the dressing rooms, the way being pointed out by other ghost-like apparitions. Before long the fun was thoroughly started, and all the quaint old fashioned, l-lolloweien games were tried. There was apple bobbing, flour cakes, fortune telling by a gipsy in a tent in one corner of the library, and many other equally amusing games. Refreshments were served and greatly relished by all. After the singing of the College songs and a few recitations the party broke up as the hour was late. 3 -9 3 lnvitations were extended by the young ladies of the Dorm. to their friends for a l'lallowe'en party. Needless to say all who could possibly do so availed themselves of the opportunity and responded. It was a most ghostly crowd that assembled all in white in the parlor and dining room at the hour of eight. Merry, in- Page One Hundred Forty-seven deed, was the guessing contest which followed. Afterward fortune telling devices of many sorts were visited, admittance being gained to these sanctums only by the presentation of clever little cards corresponding to those over that particular door. The 'lsign of the pumpkin was indeed Very popular, and those who were lucky enough to be admitted quickly in- formed others, upon coming out, of the excellence of the cider and doughnuts. Dancing occupied the end of the evening and at half past ten o'clock all departed. 9 Q S! The O-We-Go-Pi boys proved themselves royal hosts when they entertained thirty couples Friday' evening, November the twenty-third, in l-ladley Hall. The hall was artistically deco- rated in the Clubls colors of blue and white, with the addition of beautiful palms. The Las Cruces orchestra furnished the music and the twenty numbers on the program were danced with much pleasure by all present. S! S S On Thursday evening, November 24th, I-ladley l-lall was again the scene of light and gayety. A dance, in honor of the visiting Roswell team, was in progress. The hall was deco- rated in the Roswell colors of cherry and black, relieved with palms from the greenhouse. ' The Mexican orchestra from Las Cruces furnished excellent music throughout the evening. Paul Mayer and Miss Emma Goebel led the Grand March, after which the Roswell boys were given programs and introduced to the young ladies present. All seemed to enjoythemselves. Svnrieig-rnntinnvh The girls dormitory was the scene of mysterious plotting, on the night of November 25th. Sounds of revelry and laughter floated out to the boys going along the pike wondering why so much gayety. The girls who were lucky enough to be in at- tendance declare that they had one of the best times of the college year. It was a tacky party-No men were present. The most enjoyable social function occurring during the Holidays was the Masquerade Ball, given Friday evening, December 30th, in Hadley l-lall. Elaborate preparations had been made for the occasion and by 8:30 a large number of guests enjoyed themselves, arrayed in all styles of grotesque and humorous costumes. On l-lalloweien evening twelve gentlemen in pillowcases and sheets found their way to Professor l-lammoncl's home, and proceeded to find twelve partners likewise garbed. Some little time was spent by these gentlemen determining just which house on College Row was the one at which they were to call- but a Jack o,l..antern finally' came to their aid, and they entered by means of a back door. All contributed in some way to the general merriment of the evening and it would be hard to tell just who was the best actor, singer, musician, or who cracked they best jokes. Page One Hundred Forty-eight JUNIOR SNIOIQER One of the most interesting and unique stag parties ever held at the college was given by the Junior boys in honor of the Senior boys on the night of Feb. 4, l9I l. The crowd assem- bled at eight o'clock and the festivities began at once. The I i -,irjf . .5 If 1 .il I Q i Pipe of Peace was passed around and the spirit of good fellowship reigned supreme. The early part of the evening was taken up by music furnished by Briggs, Powers, and Stewart. At nine thirty Chef Laferriere announced supper. Oyster Pat- Page One Hundred Forty-nine ties a la Junior, Green Whiffletrees, Tortugas Rubber Olives, and other dainties too numerous to mention were served. Percy Fitz Gerald, president of the Senior Class, was called upon to act as toastmaster. Each man present gave a toast, choosing his own favorite subject. The many different topics discussed ranged from College Spirit to Love . The most sensational toast of the evening was given by the toastmaster by special request. Gentlemen of the Junior Class: Speaking in behalf of the Seniors here tonight, I wish to assure you we have had a most delightful time, and hope that this meeting will draw closer 'to- gether the members of the two classes. I assure you that this is a rare treat and high honor to be here tonight in one of those affairs in which good fellowship plays so great a part and which goes to make college life what it is. I wish to speak this evening upon a subject which has in the past and is yet before the eyes of the college, the co-ed. It may seem strange that I should speak on so difficult a subject, but I assure you that one on the outside of a fog can watch it drift along a great deal better than one who is in the fog. Now, gentlemen, I will ask you a few questions: Wlrat it is which we see Hitting from one building to another o'er the campus? What is it that can be as quiet as a March hare, or as noisy as a magpie? What is it that can stare in the glass like an owl in the air? That keeps up the importation of hair into this coun- try by the hogshead although it comes off of Chinese heads? What is it that can ask more questions in one hour than the whole faculty could answer in one semester? What is it that can worry a college man more than ten thousand exams? There is but one possible answer to all these questions-a co-ed. JUNIOR IJRONIENADE Following the custom of many older colleges, the Junior class established a precedent that will be followed out by suc- ceeding classes for many years, by giving the first annual Junior prom, in Hadley l-lall, on the evening of Washingtonis birth- day, February 22nd, The hall was elaborately and tastefully decorated. The scheme of class colors, cherry and old blue, was used through- out the hall in a unique manner. The lights along the balcony and along the wall were draped alternately with the two colors, while two circular shades made of crepe paper in class colors with a large 'l2 on them covered the lights overhead. This cast a soft light over the entire hall, giving it the most pleasing effect imaginable. ln the four corners of the hall, the Alumni, Faculty, Seniors, and Sophomores held sway. Upon the arrival of each of the guests, the ladies were presented with red carnations, the class Hower. As soon as all were greeted by the members of the receiving line, the grand march was formed. There were twenty regular numbers on the program and six extras. Fruit punch was served throughout the evening.

OBSERYVER ? 3 3 3 To the scientist the college animal is an interesting study, and the temptation is strong to dissect and classify this developing wonder. If speculation is aroused at the sight df chicks in the pin-feather stage, so that we wonder what Hunlicked incondite sort of thingsl' they are destined to becomeg what heightened speculations are ours as we survey this Hfeatherless bipedn in its lush and callow greenness. The quitter is a soft-shelled crab whose favorite direction of loco-motion is backward. I-le is of a delicate appetite, a sampler and taster of courses. He often begins with enthusiasm, but is soon choked by the cares of the work and becometh unfruitful. Thereafter he becomes an appendix to the class, a postscript to the study, a caudal appendage on the student body, or drops off entirely, as any dead thing should do. The worst of this tale of a tail is that he remains thro life the Wagged end of the body politic, an after-thot in life, a caboose on the train of life whose only danger is from rear-end collisions. The Shirk is a shark for rest, tho he should be classed with the eels. He is an intellectual delusion, a moral mirage. You think he is there with the goodsf' but lo! emptiness, vacuity. I-le is the shadow of something that ought to be, but is notg that might be, but can't. Third of these triplets is the cheat who is a moral zero. ln fact, Prof. Cut-em-up-to-see-where-the-sound-comes-from, the eminent zoologist of Timbuctoo University, informs me that on dissecting the cheat, he found where the conscience usually grows a perfect vacuum, the only one of its kind, by the way, in nature. The Savage comes from Borneo loudly with large, expansive feet. His footfalls echo thro the halls of time. Doors he knows as things to be shut so that you can hear them in the next county. Windows are things to be broken, and as for chairs, these are things to take apart or to leave in fragments. The velocity of his descent and impact upon the seat of his choice have been accurately computed by my friend Prof. Logarithm, the eminent physicist, as exactly equal to one thousand bricks dropped from the seventh story. I-le exceeds the telephone in range for you can hear him speak as far as the middle of next week, and I have heard that he is regularly employed during vacations at deaf- mute institutions for bursting closed-up ear drums. The Dragon is named from the peculiar habit of belching forth at mouth and nostril volumes of smoke. This strange state seems to be induced by the presence in the mouth of a small paper roll, which I have been informed contains dried and pulverized poisonous leaves. This animal is very offensive smelling, and I am told belongs to the same family as a common cat-like animal of mal-odorous reputation. Many, however, prefer the natural musk of the latter to the more offensive at- mosphere surrounding the dragon. The l-lomo-Asinus is an animal that thinks it is a bird. It Page One Hundred Fifty-four Uhr Cgvnua Emma Qlnllegmaiz anh Qin Bizewars-rnntinueh chirps, cackles, crows, and caws under the vain delusion that it is a mocking bird or a parrotg but in reality as the name shows is nothing but a burro. The Buffoon is a peculiar being of simian propensitiesg a case of extreme atavism or reversion to type. Man is never so clearly seen to belong to the primates as in this case, and any waning confidence in the theory of Evolution is at once re- vived at sight of him. The Gorilla, the Buffoon and the Chimpanzee, what a trio for one family! This is an irrepres- sible creature impossible to reach in any way. Sarcasm cannot dull nor invective damp his inlinite absurdityn, as Shakespeare says. All shafts fall harmless from his rhinoceros hide. l-le knows not when he is sat down onni but comes up again as resilient as a rubber baby,-and as empty. These are seven wonders of these parts, but equally interest- ing are the numerous and fantastic diseases afflicting this extra- ordinary biped, and I propose some day to write a book on The Pathology and Treatment of the Diseases of Homo Sapiens Collegensis. I give below a few diseases. Megalocephalus vacuosus-inflammation and enlargement of the ego-a non-contagious malady commonly called empty bigheadn or large upper story for rent . It afflicts both sexes alike and sometimes endures for life, but usually is slowly eradi- cated by the abrasions of college life. Symptoms: the head which is the afflicted member is held high and well backg the eyes look over the head of anyone opposite: there is enlarged and tumid self-confidence and shrunken and wasted confidence in the abilities of others. The Uperpendicular pronoun recurs frequently in the speech. The treatment is usually spontane- Page One Hundred Fifty-five ously administered by associates and is various, but frequently simply the application of cold water at night-in a horse trough. Hyalrocardiac hypertrophy, or enlarged and sappy heart. This is a serious disorder, and is frequently- infectious, that is, caught by contact. It is especially prevalent in co-educational institutions and is called Hgirl on the brain . Symptoms--the countenance bears a soft and languid appearance, the eyes turn upward with a'liquid and languishing look as if the subject were in great inward pain or distress: there is a woe-begone appearance never to be forgotten. There is an over-mastering inclination to linger in the presence of some member of the opposite sex and to seek out-of-the-Way corners, door-Ways, dark stairways, etc., for conversation. Sighs, evidently from the depths of the inflamed organ, escape unconsciously from the sufferer's lips. Work is difficult or impossible. Dr. G. Stanley l-lall has described this as follows: Emotive delusion, fixed idea, rudimentary paranoia, psychic neurasthemia, episodic symp- toms of hereditary- degeneracy, and psychic emotive obsession , and Prof. Macphail calls it a 'imental disorder, the first symptom is an entire incapacity to perceive the truthn. This is indeed a serious malady. The treatment is difficult and usually hopeless, especially in extreme cases. Fatty Degeneration of the Intellect arises from many causes and is usually hopeless. Little can be done except to let the sufferer down easily and retire him to his native Wilds. Tesiudinal liyperaemia, or over elaboration of the plumage, chronic dudelensis amounts simply to an excessive singleness of thot, a monomania in fact, on the habiliments. The unhappy subject struts on stilts which give a ridiculous and kangaroo-like Cflhv 6211115 Emma Qlnllvgennis amh Qin Bimzannr-rnntinuvh tilt to the body, and the face is frequently preternaturally pale, due not to internal causes, but to external applications of dry medicaments in a powdered state. There is little or no suffer- ing except that due to compressions, for the patient has a mental malady that leads her to compress the pedal extremities and the middle of the body in imitation of certain hymenopterous insects such as the wasp. Perennial giggleiiis is another mental ailment, and afflicts the young and tender female. With some it is chronic. It occurs in spasms more or less prolonged and violent. The head is bowed, the face is flushed, the veins stand out prominently and there is evidently great pressure from within, while the whole frame shakes violently and a peculiar sound issues occasionally from the nose like the snort of a frightened pig. Attacks usu- ally occur in public assemblies whenever quiet is observed by the rest of the assembly. Sometimes the name study hall epilepsyu is applied to his disease. Various means have been devised to give temporary relief fto spectatorsj. The malady is usually outgrown with the development of mental strength.

'MW 5Q'XM FIRST' ANNUAL CANE RUSH The first annual cane rush between the College and Prepara- tary students was held in the athletic field, Tuesday afternoon, October ll, l9l0. H To offset the advantage in weight which the upper classmen had it was agreed to allow the Preps. forty-five men against the College thirty. The College men, being the challenging parties, were allowed to have possession of the cane at the beginning of hostilities. The two teams lined up on their respective goal lines and at the signal the rush began. The Col- lege men formed into a flying wedge with the man carrying the cane in the middle and the Preps. swooped down upon them in a body. Fearing a trick, the Preps. did not form in a group to meet the upper classmen, and the weight of the latter made it possible for them to make a good advance toward the opposite goal before enough Preps could hurl themselves against the f V- ,.'sn ...', A wedge to break it. Kirkpatrick with the cane was finally downed about three-fourths of the way across the Preps, territory and there the real scrap began. Qnce the cane was down it did not move more than a few feet in either direction, while all about it the fight raged fiercely for twenty minutes, with pulling, hauling, wrestling, panting men grinning and tearing at each other's throats. The men at the bottom of the pile who had hold of the cane were the heaviest losers of dry goods and men's fur- nishings, the loss in two cases being complete. There were many individual struggles around the edges of the pile, as a trio of Preps would set upon some big College man and try to hold him out of the fight. Gardner and Geyer emerged from the scrap covered with glory, and Windsor, Childs, Wilson, G. Quesenberry and sev- eral others lost everything except trousers and shoes. The sides appeared to be about equal in strength after the cane was brought to the ground, but the Preps had allowed the College to make too much headway on the first run and were unable to gain the ground back. The rush was fierce from beginning to end, but no one lost his temper and no one cried for quarter. Aside from the bruises and scratches there were no casualties. The College men won, but certainly earned their victory, as was shown clearly by the fragments of torn clothing which adorned the field after the rush, and the bruises, black eyes and scratches which appeared in the classrooms the next morning. The rush was under the general supervision of Mr. l-lammond who was ably assisted by Profs. Miller, Schultz, Squires, An- derson, Mitchell and others.

When General Kearny took possession of the Territory in the name of the United States in the early days of the Mexican War, his first act was to address the people before the Old Palace in Santa Fe, on August l9, IS46, and promise that they should soon receive all the privileges of citizens of the United States, and in the formal proclamation of annexation which he issued on August 22, l8-46, declared the intention of the government to give to New Mexico Ha free governmentn, with the least possi- ble delay, similar to those of the United States. Subsequent events would almost seem to indicate that he would have been more nearly correct if he had said with the most possible delay, instead of the least. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which closed the Mexican War in 1848 and formally recognized the transfer of this territory from lVlexico to the United States, repeated the assurance of statehood at the proper time . Within three months after the ratification of this treaty, a delegate convention met in Santa Fe at the call of the governor and while 'New Mexico was still under a provisional military government, which petitioned Congress to establish a civil gov- ernment for the territory. The most significant and surprising act of this convention was its declaration against slavery. This petition was repeated by a second convention which met in the following year, drew up a form of government, elected a dele- gate to Congress and instructed him to urge Congress to provide for either a state or a territorial government. President Taylor, , IConiinued in his message to Congress in l849 said that the new territories fCalifornia and New Mexico, should frame constitutions at once and apply for admission into the Union. The Secretary of War urged the same course of action. ln accordance with these suggestions from the highest authori- ties, delegates were elected to the first constitutional convention, which met in Santa Fe in l850 and framed a constitution for the proposed state. This constitution was submitted to the peo- ple of the territory at a general election and ratified by them by an overwhelming majority. State officers were elected- the leg- an overwhelming majority. State officers were elected, the leg- and started for Washington. The political leaders considered it a matter of prime importance that the existing balance between free states and slave states be maintained. It had been sup- posed that California might be admitted as a free state and New Mexico as a slave state without disturbing this balance. The adoption of an anti-slavery constitution by New Mexico-an act of genuine political heroism at that time-destroyed this hope, and as the result of the declaration against slavery New Mexico was given a territorial form of government while Cali- fornia was admitted to statehood. The Legislature of l872 formulated a constitution and sub- mitted it to the people, but the election was considered illegal in certain counties and the governor, who was not in favor of the movement, allowed the matter to drop. Even before this time there had been a beginning of the series of efforts, which continued almost constantly until one year ago, on page 1781 Page One Hundred Seventy-four fa Jqfffw X PX N 5 X W amvmxl Q,,UJ FD Q50 FPO 9913 SHO UO 3- DJ O' Ib,...

In 1875 such an act was introduced by lVlr. Elkins, at that time Dele- gate to Congress from New Mexico, formerly a resident of Mesilla and afterward senator from West Virginia. This bill, together with a similar bill for the admission of Colorado, which at that time had far less population than New Mexico, passed the l-louse and, with unimportant amendments passed the Sen- ate. The bills, as amended, came back to the l-louse, where New Mexico had had a larger majority than Colorado. While the bills were pending, it happened that Congressman Borroughs of Michigan made a speech which referred to the Civil War and gave great offense to the members from the southern states. It was only ten years after the close of the war and feeling was naturally strong. Mr. Elkins came into the Hall of Represen- tatives just at the conclusion of the speech, not having heard it, and saw the friends of Mr. Burroughs crowding about him with congratulations. In complete ignorance of the nature of the speech and the situation which it had created, Mr. Elkins has- tened to add his congratulations. The sensitive southerners took note of his cordiality and at once withdrew their support of the bill for the admission of New Mexico. Colorado was admitted- and New Mexico was left out because of Elkins's ill-timed hand-shake. The fight continued. New Mexico was linked with Dakota, Montana and Washington in the omnibus statehood bill of l888, but was eliminated before the passage of the bill. This bill included a proposition to change the name from New Mexico to Montezuma. Both earlier and later there were efforts to call the proposed state the State of Lincoln. ln 1889 a third constitution was framed by a convention composed of delegates elected for that purpose at the call of the legislature. The constitution was submitted to the people, but its ratification was opposed by certain powerful political and other influences and it was defeated by a large majority. In 1895 another trivial accident prevented the passage of an enabling act for New Mexico. Bills had been introduced in Congress providing for the admission of Utah and New Mexico. New lVlexico's chances seemed much better than Utah's on ac- count of the fear of Mormonism. It was important to get the bills through the l-louse as quickly as possible so that they would not be lost in the Senate for lack of time at the end of the ses- sion. It may be remarked in passing that there has never been a great dieal of difficulty in getting the l-lcues to pass a bill for the admission of a new state. The trouble has always been in the Senate. New lVlexico's Delegate in Congress, Antonio Joseph, found his health suffering from the winter climate of Washington and, being assured by those who were supposed to know that the bills would not be taken up before the Christ- mas recess, he came home to sunny New Mexico for a few weeks to recuperate. Then Congress, seized with one of its rare IConiinucd on page 1811 Page One Hundred Seventy- eight EL PASO Is certain to he the Largest City in the Southwest.

THE COLLEGES FRIEND TIAIE STIQUGIHLE FOR STATEIIOOD lconiinucd spasms of energy, rushed through with its business and came to the statehood bills. The New Mexico bill came first on the calendar, but when it was called there was no one present to speak for it and it went over. The Utah bill was taken up, passed, and sent to the Senate, which took it under consideration immediately after the holidays and passed it before the end of the session. The passage of measures in Congress is largely a matter of jockeying for position to avoid being left in the race or killed in the crush in the closing days of the session. New lVlexico's bill had lost a couple of months and it never caught up. The l-louse passed it, but so late that there was not time to get it through the Senate. The first enabling act for New Mexico which ever passed bcth houses of Congress was the joint statehood act of l906, which proposed the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as a single state under the name of Arizona. The union of the two territories was, however, conditioned upon the acceptance of the plan by both of them. Arizona, as was expected, voted Page One Hundred Eighty-one from page 1781 strongly against the proposition. New Mexico voted in favor of it-largely because it was known that Arizona would defeat it anyway and it was thought that some favor might be gained in Washington by showing a cheerful willingness to accept any- thing that was offered to us. For many years every' Democratic national convention has declared in favor of statehood for New Mexico, but in i908 for the first time the Republican national convention declared unequivocally for immediate statehood. In l9l0 the enabling act was passed by Congress. The Constitutional Convention provided for by that act duly assembled on October 3, 1910, and, in a session of fifty days, formulated a constitution which has now been ratified by the people and only awaits the ap- proval of Congress. ln the political world nothing is ever certain until it has happened, but it seems highly probable that the next Congress will admit both New Mexico and Arizona and the struggle will be over . vm Mvxirn Qlnllvgv uf Agrirulturv amh Hllvrhanir Aria. is Iocated on its own Iand of 400 acres, In the beautiful IVIesiIIa Vauey. directly under the Great Elephant Butte Reservoir Project.
