Zip rah! lloom hix! Hi chi! Hi chix! Oberlin l Oberlin l Nineteen six! All's Well That Ends Well E have passed through some awful storms in the seasons that have passedg not a few of us shiver yet when we think of the frightful tempest of Soph- omore Englishg and how our ship, with many of the crew missing, ca1ne into port in june with her sides craeked, half disniasted, shreds of sail cloth Hap- ping sorrowfullyg and the crew still speak with terror of the wild days of Psychol- ogy and the dangerous sailing between the Scylla and Charybdis of Ethics and Philosophy, where more men than I like to think of went down into those yawning jaws. But wind-beaten and weather-worn as the old boat was, we realized at the beginning of the present year that our past adventures were as nothing in com- parison with the voyage now before us. W.hat Jack-tar of us all will ever forget that dark October night, when some of the crew went mad and sailed off shouting and singing, with grinning lanterns fixed to their mast-heads? Then followed some of the queerest weather we had 23 ' ever known. So strangely confused were the winds which beat upon us, appar- ently from every direction, that the poor sailors were utterly terrified and conf fused, none of us have known a more blessed relief than that which came when, as the storm rumbled off to the south, the half-drowned soldiers crawled back on deck and the watch sang out once more: Seven o'elock and all's well. Then there were days when some of the crew grew mutinous. Some of your microcosmological or sociological sharks that make these waters a horror. I tell you those are fearful things, when a man thinks of his diploma only a few months off. The most trembling moment of our lives-that 'is, of the lives of most of us, because there are among the crew some men who have seen even more terrible things-was the frightful hurricane that travelers call mid years. The rain of questions came down in sheets. Every man had to lie Hat on the deck, as the waves neat over us and the water swirled us about, until we lost all consciousness of Space or Time or Shakespeare. It takes a stout heart even to lookback upon the awful week we spent in this peril, when the voice of the watch was drowned in the groans of agony from the poor crew. The stout fellows would flush dark and draw stilettosg here would be a brisk clash of metal and a dozen wounded feelings would be carried off to the hold. Well, there are hot-blooded days, that come to every ship some time or other, and do no harm. But when pirates set upon us-as they did, demanding our pictures-in the Annual of our lives-we pitched upon them tooth and nail-though the weather was bad and the ship rolled heavily-and beat them soundly, while the watch kept calling out above the wind, All's well. So far as most of us are concerned, it has been a safe trip, though once or twice there has come the cry, that no sailor can hear without shudder, of man overboard -a fate that means imminent danger of being swallowed for good and all by one last storm, and yet the barometer indicates that such another hurricane even more terrible, perhaps, is even 'upon us. Heaven save us all, poor sailors. And may the cry come loud and clear: All's well that ends well above, a three Q31 ! 24 The Underclassmen to the Seniors. A dizzy height the Seniors hold in any college towng Their eyes are old, their bearing bold, they wear a cap and gowng The faculty they hob-and-nob, and look with high disdain And pity at the vulgar mob who grovel at their fane. Of this our Seniors of O. C. a shining instance are- They know their paths to life are free, and each has bribed his star The turmoils of the college world sink like a childish tune, And in a fire-chariot whirled they sweep toward happy june. The paltry days of class-book scraps, the weary days of Mike, The mortar-caps, the class-room naps, are fleeted down the Pikeg And each has sat for T. J. Rice, and dined with Henry King 1- We tremble at their least advice and humble praises sing. We humbly sing the Seniors' praise, yet must insinuate One brutal modifying phrase, or e'er it he too late: Shades of life's prison-house begin to close . Around the growing boylig Yet he beholds the light and whence it flows, He sees it in its joy. The youth-t who daily farther from the East must travel, Still is Nature's priest, And by the vision splendid, is on his way attendedg At length the maui beholds it die away And fade into the light of common dayf, 'Academites.

'HE class of I 0 has made no dis ulavs of artificial class smirit nor has it . ! participated in any side shows. or circus parades. ln fact, such demonstraf tions have been wholly unnecessary in a class which includes in its en- rollment twenty-two people from Ashtabula County, three varsity captains, and Lutz. A class of such composition must of necessity display unusual progres- siveness, ability and modesty in all directions, class room work. social events, original stunts and athletics. No class ever made such a record in Psycliology. Professor Maclsennan can tell you all about that matter. He will tell you that the class of 1907 got hold of the subject matter and kept things well in fnind: that there were no cases of aphasia until the final examination. According to the Autoinaton Theory, unless Angell and James are both wrong, a few people forgot to turn- inherited instincts over into well developed habits of study. Next year their reflex, automatic and voluntary activities will be modified by previous experience, These activities on the part of the individual will be termed repetitionn and on the part of the instructor, conation . Actual separation of these two phases cannot exist 39 for one of them is both the same, or, to put the matter differently, both are phases of the one thing--Psychology.

The Thanksgiving party, of course, was the social event of the year. Everybody agrees that it went ahead of any party ever held in Oberlin. A few of the facts may be of interest to anyone not familiar with the circumstances. These facts are only approximately correct. The play Endymion was given in Sturges Hall, The Class then ran across to Baldwin and ate just as rapidly as they could. Burger ate one hot tea biscuit whole. Four minutes of lost time were made up and everybody expected to get through on time but Professor MacLennan had the last toast, i.e., he spoke last. Next year the Thanksgiving party must begin five minutes early. In the matter of class stunts , the Juniors have displayed real originality. Originality means something different. This happened when the duck trouser brigade marched into chapel during the hardest snow storm of the winter. Each man had a fan. That was original, too. The junior top coats were distinctly original in designp The fact that Madam Johnston heartily approved of them convinces urs that they are decidedly unique. The Seniors followed suit, and sprung a fairly good imitation a couple of weeks later. The class assumes no responsibility for the display of red caps and red corduroys. The stunt was a good one and made everybody grin. It was rumored that a sportsman mistook Caldwell for a snipe, one day in the south woods. Fortunately bird shot failed to penetrate the corduroys. The donation of an athletic bulletin board, and many other original stunts deserve more than mere mention. In athletics the class of 1907 has elbowed its way to a prominent place. To say nothing of our record in foot ball, the basket ball series proved another success. The Seniors asserted before and after that they had the real team, but after the first game there were a good many spectators from Missouri. Even Bill Chambers got discouraged with the way the Seniors played, and officially announced that the Seniors did not have the candy team . lt is no more than 40 o fair to say that the Seniors, at times, played in hard luck. Lightner got out of breath on several occasions. Olmstead did the same. This year the Juniors landed on this invincible Senior aggregation for two victories and ultimately took over the much coveted championship banner. The Indoor Track Meet, March 22, furnished 1907 with another athletic trophy. In a word the class of 1907 has made a splendid record, and we can truly say with Browning, that: Everybody works but the Juniors, And they fool around all day Dreaming of Psych or Ethics And wishing for time to play. The Seniors are some busy, Sophs and Freshmen are the sameg Everybody works but the Juniors But they get there just the same l ..'-A. -- -'. ' .. .0 , .gs,.,,: 41 1 Junior Records.

Ado About Nothing fOr Something About 1908.1 ADIES and Gentlemen AN Oli.'X'l'ltJN. ! The subject of this address needs no meagre, paltry words of mine to commend it to an Oberlin audience. lt is a subject which makes the heart of every true and loyal student beat fast with pride Ind reverence. At mention of class! Do you anticipate you have guessed it. But it. the faculty rise up and cry in unison, This IS '1 my subject? Ah, I see you have surmised it. Yes I will state It plainly. The subject of mv oration is the Sophomore class! fCheers.j 73 Made up as it is by students from every part of the globe, representing every nationality, country, clime, and creed, it is indeed a unique organization. Here we find the man from Colorado in all the glory of his barbaric splendor. QWar whoops.j Beside him we see the New Englander fresh from the civiliza- tion of the Orient. In they pour from the coal mines of Pennsylvania, from the snowdrifts of New Hampshire, from the wheat-fields of Dakota, from the oil wells of Kansas. And what have they done, you say, to endear them to all? Ah, it were easier to answer, What have they not done P For in every field they have made a contribution which will be- remembered while time endures! For the sake of clearness I. will divide my address into three main divisions, which are: UQ the contributions to aesthetics, tzj to humanity, and C33 to education. I shall Hrst speak of the contribution to aesthetics. Who has not had his standard of beauty elevated since beholding the cardinal sweater with the ebony buttons? On seeing it we are reminded of that old yet ever new saying, A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And whom have we to thank for this aesthetic treat? Let your own hearts make answer-the Sophomores. fCheers and cries of Hear! Hearlj Next I shall speak of the contribution to humanity. Were it not for this noble band of students one of Godis most sublime creatures would today hold a place beneath her dignity, a place scoffed at and ridiculed, ladies and gentle- men, aye, ridiculed. But, through the efforts of this class she has b'een lifted into her proper sphere. Have you guessed what creature I mean? It is the cow, ladies and gentlemen, of whom I speak. Today she is a factor in college life. She is respected, honored and loved. Were it not for the Sophomorcs she might even yet be regarded with indinference as in the dark ages gone. Who can say that the voice of the cow does not bear a deeper and more significant meaning to him today than ever before? fCheers and sobs.j And last we have the contribution to education. VVho, that has talked with :1 Sophomore, has not gone away a wiser man? The reason for this is plain. The Sophomore is a student of argumentation, he can refute botl1 directly and indirectlyg he can pick out a fallacy in a moment, he can illustrate a canon of induction at will. To know a Sophomore aright is a liberal education. Ah, Sophomore, thou beacon light of civilization and culture! Ever send out the light and glow, brighter and clearer, like a star in the blue dome of heaven leading us upward and onward. CApplause.ji': 'l'This oration was given first place in the Sophomore oratorical contest?

I-IEOLOGICAL work began, as sometimes happens, with the opening of the seminary year. This year was 1905. It isn't any longer, however. In fact, many other changes have occurred. Some changes have been objective and others subjective. One theologue, it is known, changed a silver dollar. What the object was is not known, unless it was to stimulate circulation. Monetary circulation is as slow in the seminary as pulmonary circulation is sup- posed to be. Among the objective changes should be mentioned McCarthy's change of board in the spring vacation. His heart action is better at Talco-tt, although Kuyper keeps well at Johnson's and Chamberlain has found Talcott food ener- vating. It is the old story-cold pork and cabbage will cure a blacksmith, but kill a tailor. It has been rumo-red in scientific circles that Lord Cottage food test of chemical analysisg but, though friends censured both for their indifference, neither Foley nor Nissen could see any object in making a change. Foley, faithful priest, would stay by his fiock. would not stand the The most subtle and elusive changes are subjectiveg yet several times it has been noticeable that Rehm changed his mind. But no serious concomitant symp- toms have been discovered. In fact, Rehm's mind is still developing, which is not characteristic of thcologues, it is said. This state of transition is shown in 85 Rehm's erratic judgment of beauty. He senses the beauty of a poemg but his idea of feminine beauty is notoriously at variance with popular taste. He is less familiar with this field of arty yet his may prove the intuition of the genius, even here. An interesting psychological phenomenon was witnessed in Professor Cur- rier when Mr. Eby explained that the Scripture reading at 'Preaching Ex, began at Ps. Io4:2. Really fascinating to the spfclafor are the subjective changes which occur when Professor Bosworth asks for Your authority. Different, but no less striking, were the changes effected by Professor 'Fullertoifs promulgation of the Diodochian theory. Sometimes the changes could even be heard as when the river ice breaks up in early spring. Now, for the sake of variation which is the object of Annual sketches as well as the spice of life, we may induce a happy subjective change if we change our subjects whose immediate object has been to produce subjective changes on the subject of changes objective and subjective, and, by thus subjecting our sub- ject to slight change, accomplish the real unchanging object of the writer which is to change the subject.

IGURATIVELY ushered into existence by the winning of the intel'-class football championship, the history of the Senior Academy Class of IQO6, intellectually and socially, has been a series of brilliant triumphs. Perhaps the reception given at the close of the football season in honor of the Academy team stands out more prominently, for this was the evening which brought out the histrionic skill of the class thro' the mediums of a two-act farce, entitled the Trained Nurse. Who will forget the hit that Mr. Horton made, or the charm-ing way in which Miss Willey or Miss Barrows played their parts? It also brought into the lime light what may be correctly called the Great Trium- ' 88 virate-George Vradenburg, Pratt Tracy and Martin Davey. It has been the earnest zeal and untiring energy of these three members, backed by the support of the social committee, which has been responsible to a great extent for our prosperity as a class this year. The winning of the inter-class Basketball series, and the subsequent reception to the Middle class also deserve honorable mention. ln the first place it estab- lished beyond a doubt the athletic supremacy of the Seniors. Secondly it brought about the epoch-making meeting between the two class presidents, Vradeuburg and Rahill, resulting in the presentation of a loving cup to the under-classmen. With Commencement Day drawing near, the members are anxiously await- ing the debut of Miss Eastman, Mr. Davey and Mr. Reed, who, having secured the highest averages, unite with Miss Wfillicent, Nr. Ford and Mr. Vradenburg, the pick of the class, and Miss liusselmann and Mr. Ament, the choice of the faculty, to carry the colors of their class into the realms of oratory, and judging from the past successes, it is only natural to predict that the same brilliant stand- ard will be upheld. f.

Others may have experienced troubles in starting the ball rolling successfully, but these are commonplace, so we will forget that such things do happen and make mention only of our deeds of valor. We summoned. and urged, and finally compelled strangers to meet strangers, in strange costumes, on the night of December 9, in the Hall of Sturges. We dared to enlist in our ranks five members of the liaculty. NVQ voted down a skating party one balmy January day. VVQ courageously changed our class colors to oblige our friends, the Seniors. Five illustrious members of our class admirably entertained us with thc farce, Chums, altho' there were parts not strictly in accordance with the regulations of the institution. 90 1 I These, you see, are all achievements merely along the social side of life, but now see what a glorious part athletics contribute to our history. The football team was so strong that their defeats were only results of fake plays on the part of the Seniors. In basket ball, men of such caliber as Andrews and Franks were seen in the line-up as subs, and had two of our strongest men been able to par- ticipate in the last two games, the championship would easily have been ours. But our record in the path of wisdom, you may be sure, is much more extraor- dinary. Indeed, should the Root of our wisdom be taken from us, or our Rahill be razed to the ground, or our Burrough cease burrowing, we would still have our Cole, an article more precious than ever known in past history. These are our chronicles, and in view of so mementous a record, what can we bring to the Academy in our coming Senior year but the greatest success and honor ever known? l XVhispering-gallery busy and dark Echoing coeclucation, Echoing question and fussing remark Echoing hushed olJjurgation.- Thine are the precincts of proctors and books, Haunted by renclezvoux wary 5 Sadly we think that thou soon shalt depart, Hail, thou, beloved Lib-rary! 91 1-low dear are the halls where kind teachers employed ns.

There you will learn with half closed' eyes, The tricks of the artist so clever and wise, To get true values and make things look The way they do in a picture book. You'1l begin on boxes and bottles and bones, Getting' perspective and seeing tones, Then try the spinning' wheel or copper kettle A pair of child's shoes or dipper of metal. Your attention will next to casts be turned The ear, the eye and f'nose must be learned Then you may show all your genius full fair ' On Sappho or Venus or even Voltaire. There are living models to sketch from too, An old man in black or a small girl in blue An elderly lady with hair soft and white. Or a sharp little newsboy who won't stand right.

S'rANl.lcv SKINNER, Tp RliLTllliN W11.soN, EDWARD S. CHASE- During the winter term, a novel entertainment was given by the Men's Board to all men of the conservatory. It had long been felt that there was no common meeting place for the conservatory men, where they could become better acquainted with one anotherg so this entertainment was given to obviate the difhculty. Cards were sent to the men, inviting them to a knock-down and drag-out, on Monday evening, March 12. Promptly at eight o'clock the orchestra, consisting of Mr. Wilson in a ludicrous costume, appeared. After the orchestra performance there followed Chase, dat big' black coon, in a black man monologre 3 Rowland, with a little girl's songg Graham and MacCollin, in a comedy sketchg and Shaw and Skinner, in a vocal duet. The Glee'Club men had very kindly offered their assist- ance, and gave the Kinder Symphonic. Tee and wafers closed the entertainment. lt is to be hoped that this entertainment will become an annual affair, as we feel that in this way the Board stands for more than their own entertainment. The Men's Board of 1905-1906 inaugurated the custom of meeting once every two weeks at the rooms of the various members. The usual routine for the eve- ning was a short business meeting, followed by a social hour, and closing with refreshments. These meetings were very beneficial to the members, as they brought them into direct personal contact with one another, and thus strengthened the bond of fellowship between them in a way in which nothing else could have accomplished. The origin and history of the Bo-ard are as follows: During the year 1904 it was felt that there should be some sort of an organization at the head of the men of the conservatory to which they might go at any time for assistance. At first the Menls Board consisted of the officers of the old Men's Literary Society of the Conservatory, but in the fall of 1904 new oflicers were elected and a new constitutio-n was drawn up. J. B.

HIE past year has been the most reinzwkable in Olmerlin's musical annals so far as the amount and quality of public concerts are concerned. Most note- worthy of all is the enlarged purpose and achievement of the Musical Union. Not content with the success of the May Festival of 1905, it completely cut away from the past methods and traditions of the winter conccrts,and instead of the usual double performance of Handel's Messiah with the aid of the reinforced Conservatory orchestra, it enlisted the services of the Pittsburg orchestra and on two successive evenings sang thc lVlessiah and liranclcs The lleatitudesf' When the Mrsical Union completes at the coming' Commencement its performance of two more works of the largest scale, it will have estzlblislied a record for four- teen months' work of which any choral society in the country would have reason to be proud. As the conductor counts most heavily in such matters, so far at least as courage to attack heavy problems is concerned, the service of Pro- fessor Andrews deserves the most cordial recognition. 109 The works given at the biennial musical festival, May 16 and 17, 1905, were The Beatitudesu by Cesar Franck, and Wagner's opera Tannhaeuser, the latter of course given as a concert with some cuts. The most prominent singers from abroad were Mr. David Bispham, bass, Mr. Ellison Van Hoose, tenor, Mrs. Fish-Griffen and Mrs, Elizabeth Blodgett, sopranos, and Miss Genevieve Wheat, contralto. Mr. Charles Adams, Mrs. Charles Adams, and Mr. Herbert Harroun of the Conservatory faculty were also among the soloists. The Thomas orches- tra of Chicago assisted, and also gave a concert in the afternoon of the 17th. The chief success of the festival, as also of the concerts in the following December, was in the performance of The Beatitudesf' This oratorio, which was completed in I88O, has been hailed by the best critical opinion of Europe as one of the supreme achievements of choral art of the last century. In the text the Beatitudes are paraphrased and developed, and made the basis of an expo- sition of the inevitable triumph of the spirit and law of Christ over the forces of injustice and selfishness. In The lleatitudesn Cesar Franck displayed with marvelous ease and power his wonderful command of melody, harmony and orchestration, as well as mastery of every shade of expression. The union of religious ecstacy and dramatic force has rarely been so powerfully maintained in a single work. To find its parallel in this 1'espect we must search in the works 110 , .1 of the very greatest masters. Since Franck carries further than almost any other composer the modern tendency to complexity in harmony and 1'hythm, The Beatitudes is extremely difficult to sing, but its rendering by the Musical Union was of a finish, precision and beauty of shading which were born of confidence in its own powers. The playing of the orchestra was at all points superb. The performance of an opera as a concert can at the best be successful only in aqualified sense. The choruses in Tannhaeuser', were effective, but the solos lost much of their pertinence so far as their musical style goes, and the singers were more or less hampered and constrained. As the only means by which the local public could hear 'l'annhaeuser, this performance was justified. The Union's triumph with The l3eatitudes was repeated on December 5th, when with the aid of the ljittsburg orchestra this noble work was given with even greater magnificence than before. The Messiah was sung on the pre- eeecling night, with all its old-time vigor. 'The soloists for these two concerts were Mrs. Corinne Rider-Kelsey. Miss Janet Spencer, Mrs. Charles Adams, Mr. Herbert Witherspoon, Mr. julian Walker, Mr. Edward Strong, Mr. Charles Adams, and Mr. Henry Cole.

Mr. Chamberlain followed with an extempore on The Glec Club Trip. The orator of the evening was Mr, Lake Strong, who showed eloquently that if George the Third had not been a stubborn brute our glorious nation never, never would have been free. Therefore, all hail to George. The question, Resolved :-that the VVashington's llirthday Reception is and by rights ought to be utterly and immediately abolished, for I-Tarringto-n's sake at any rate , was debated calmly by Messrs, Hull and VanNuys for the affirmative, and fiercely by Messrs. Hart and Clark for the negative. The judges appointed were Messrs. Sandborn, Hiram Caldwell and Harold Rogers. The two latter gentlemen were excused from acting by the chair on the ground that social questions affected them too deeply to permit dispassionate judgment. Messrs. Lupton and Dye filled their places. f ln general debate Mr. Neilson cornered the time market and showed that a. man may take orders for flowers and yet be without stain. On motion of Mr. rislier the general debate closed. The decision of the House was for the affirmative, several social stars being intimidated not to vote. The decision of the judges was for the negative unanimously. The Society then proceeded to business. Reports of Clock, Decorating and Light Shading committees. l Report of Mr. Caldwell as to how his eyes were feeling. Under new business Mr. Carr moved to adjourn to Tobin's for dopes . Motion lost. Mr. Carr adjourned. Moved to adjourn by Heald. Seconded by Frost. Adjourned upon the reading of these moments. 113 Phi Kappa Pi. C. IT. BRISSIEI. T. M. DYE A. 4. Flsmau L F. B. I'IARlUNGTON C. L.

Painfully a few loyal Phi Deltans toil up the staircase, and drop into their seats. Taylor sheds his coat, and immediately the bashful Freshmen make haste to follow his illustrious example. Tl ll ll is hurried through with scarcely any response. After a frantic ie ro ca search for the minutes bv Secretary Henderson, the program begins with an essav by Burger. He starts off with a flaming dissertation on an unheard of place called Ashtabula, and the society settles down with a groan, and tries to snatch a brief nap.

After Carpe has his usual fling, general debate closes, and the result of the toss-up is announced. i Koehler is now called to the chair for parliamentary drill, and tremblinglv takes back every decision as soon as rendered, lest someone should rise and appeal. His time is up before a single motion can be brought before the house, and he re- gains his seat blissfully happy. In the business that follows, Dave Nye tells us for the twentieth time, that the new gavel will soon be here. Schaffer moves that the society give a drama at tin The motion is voted down unanimously.

N the absence of the President QMr. Lightnerj Vice President Wilson called the meeting to order, and Mr. McDaniels led the society in a short prayer. The critique of the previous meeting was read by Mr. Veness in mildly expostulatory tones. The critic seemed to think that there had been some trouble with the program, but he could not put his finger on the precise spot. Mr, Venesg needs to put a little enthusiasm and snap into his work and he will become a good society member. Mr. Tsanoff, the philosopher of the society, next presented an essay on The So-ness of the Was-ness, or Why did Hegel PM The production showed marked genius, for your reporter was unable to understand a word of it. The orator of the evening, Mr. Goodenough, delivered a soul-stirring address on A Platonic Friendship, which both because of his great ability, and his enthu- siasm over his subject, was by far the best number on the program. A spirited debate followed, on the subject, Resolved: That King Edward V11 ought to wear his crown whenever he appears in public. Mr. Rice and Mr. Fairfield argued for the affirmative, holding that unless Edward should wear his crown nobody would recognize him as the King of England, and he might be treated as an ordinary individual. The judges, however, handed in a decision for the negative, which was upheld by Messrs. MacLean and D. VV. Jones, on the authority of Mr. Jones, who contended fin a good eockney accentj that he had lived in London for thirty-six years and was a personal friend of Edward, and Edward had assured him that the crown was so heavy that it gave him fEdwardj the headache whenever he put it on. , The extempores were given by Mr. Brainard and Mr. Hoffman on the respect- ive subjects The New Woman versus the Sage Brush and Mesmerism a la Poe. When new business came up, petitions were read from Messrs. Thompson, Prince, McDaniels and F. E. Carr, each asking to be excused from society work for the semester, because of unusually heavy college work, and other strenuous duties. The petitions were laid upon the table pending inquiry concerning the nature of the strenuous duties. QThe society was here interrupted by Mr. Tsanoff, who wished the chair- man to eject Mr. Wilcox from the room for pulling his QMr. Tsanoft'sj hair. Mr. Wilcox then rose to state that he had not pulled Mr. Tsanoff's hair, and that if he had pulled it, Mr. Tsanoff deserved to have his hair pulled anyway, and that Mr. Tsanoff was---He was interrupted by the sound- of the gavel, and the quiet voice' of Mr. Wilcox assured the belligerents that if they wanted to fight they might both withdraw into outer darkness and have it out. This quietus was effect- ive, and the spirit of brotherly love descended once again into the bosom of Alpha Zeta. . In view of no further business, Mr. Jones moved that the society adjourn. The only dissenting voice was that of Mr. Seeley, who wanted to argue about MacLean's sweater. 121 F. B. ANDJQRSON E. F. EMINGIQR A D. H. LIGHTNIQR E. E. Mll..I.1z1z W. C. F.fC1RFI1zLD E. D. FORD F.

Evening HE rap of the gavel came promptly at six forty-nineg each member of L. L. S. whisked around, breaking off her important conversation at its crisis, and sat perfectly upright, attending eagerly to the roll-call--all but poor Miss Parmelee, who bent over her purse and books with care-furrowed brow to set right the accounts of those troublesome members whose lines come in only in time to avoid the fourth reading. The cheerful yeas and regretful nays were all duly accredited, the chorister tremblingly set the pitch for the evening hymn, and Miss Durad, the critic, stood on the platform. There was an observant hush, for it had been whispered abroad that this meeting was to be the typical session of the year, by which friends and strangers alike would estimate dear L. L. S. of 1906. The critique was applauded, for it was typical in its unapologetic straight- forwardness and lack of sugar-coating allegory, or parable. Now came the dis- cussion, and for Miss Hall and Miss Greenlees the choice of question was a hard one, since the year's variety of subject was so great as to include both tariff and domestic science. But these maidens were clever and combined interest in current matters with practical sense, in defbating the lasting qualities of The House of Mirthf' The essay illustrated the yearls ideals: its subject was interesting, The juvenile Courts, it was well constructed, and it was read in Miss S'huey's clear, low voice. Miss Walker's story, full of originality, brought a few minutes' relief of tension, but the hush grew deeperas the toast was announced, for the toast was a new number this year and its repute was not yet fixed. But what better subject could it have had for this meeting than The All Round Girl, and who could have toasted so well as the bright-eyed Sophomore, Miss Butts? Relief and admiration were voiced in long applause. Another new number was to follow, the Address. Would it prove itself a worthy successor of the time-honored oration and make friends and Find a kindly welcome? Some questions can not be deter- mined by one year's experience, yet Miss Spangenhergis address gave rich sug- gestion of the value and possibilities of the number. There came a fresh breeze when Miss Penberthy moved to omit Parliamen- tary Drill because of the weighty amount of real business. After many sugges- tions, one motion, two amendments, much information. and the convincing advice of Miss Westlake, it was voted to appoint a committee to purchase three new Welsbacli burners and one-half of an oil-cloth to protect the wall above the sink. In solemn silence the society listened to 'Miss Porter's reading of appoint- ments and then followed the smiling, hearty enjoyment of hot cocoa and each other's society, for this was the regular monthly meeting, when L. L. S. of 1906 takes time to be sociable. V 129 NWA L. ANnR1f:ws MARIAN C. I.3R11'mc:1cs GliR.Xl.lllNIC BURR Lucflmc L. Cuvl.1cR ANNA H. Dmmscuuu A1.lc14: M. IJURANIJ Ruwiu A. FISHER F1.oRA A.

Finally, Miss Kitch begins, Nearer My God to Thee . A few tremulous voices are heard. These gradually die away, and Miss Kitch struggles through alone. The Critique of the evening, by Miss Cochran is not a roseate one. She is afraid of hurting anyone's feelings. Deprecating criticisms of Miss Lathop's story are made, and Miss Rudin is threatened with expulsion from society for crossing the floor without permission from the chair. Miss Vail is asked to give an extempore on Chinese Immigration . Like a martyr she approaches the chair and begins- Well I just felt in my bones, I'd be called upon tonight, but I just couldn't get time to read the Outlook. I'll talk on 'Women's Clubs.' I believe Women's Clubs are just the thing, especially for spinsters QMisses Leavitt, Park, Gregg and Carter 11od hearty approvaljg and for married women they are even better. To belong to a club keeps you from getting rusty. I hope that every member of Aelioian will some clay belong to a Woman's Club. tHeart-rending applause.j The subject for discussion is the Rebate Question . Miss Gordon notes with hope the names of two juniors, Miss White and Miss Ainsworth. But Miss White is strangely pointless in her remarks tonight, while Miss Ainsworth enthusiastically draws a comparison between the great railway corporations and the faculty of Oberlin College! No one catches on, but she wins on the strength of a last forensic appeal, that Aelioian send a petition to the Senate to have the alarming evil remedied. Everyone begins to breathe easier, when Miss Katherine Johnson is called upon to talk on How to apply for Schools . Righteous indignation flashes in Miss Johnson's face as she vehemently refuses to discuss publicly a question so sacred to herself. At least there is one ray of hope left. Miss Berry, who harmoniously combines within herself dignity, animation and eloquence, is to give the conversa- tion. But why did she choose such a subject as Different varieties of Spiders to be found in New Zealand , nobody ever could discover. Time for Parliamentary Drill, announces Miss Gordan with tears in her voice, and Miss Whiting rises immediately and moves that in view of the lateness of the hour Qit's nearly 6230, Parliamentary Drill be omitted. Miss Bowman seconds, everybody votes aye except Miss Cochran. Fortunately just then the gas light Hickers and dies down, fortunately, because the darkness hides the blushes of the Light Bearers. Dean Fitch is the unexpected visitor tonight. 133 AIXFIIIEA F. Illclxlw lllcsslli 12. IEQWMAN Al :liR'l'l I A M. CA1z'1'1f:R Ill-:r.1aN F. COCIIRAN lilassllc M. GQRVDQN tXI,FARlC'I l'A M.

Acme and Cadmean literary societies of the Academy held their annual con- test Monday evening March 12, in room 13, French Hall. Both societies were out in full force to support their respective representatives. Cornelius Clark delivered the oration for Acme. C1ark's production was plain instructive teaching in character building. Mr. Clark has a very good appear- ance before the audience. L. B. Griffin was Cadmean's orator for the evening, choosing for his subject, A Bartered Birthrightf' He held his audience, showed good oratorical ability and won first place. V. D. Balabanoff read Cadniean's essay entitled, The Giant of the Electric Age. In this production a clear view of Edison's life and electrical achievements was presented to the audience. His essay won for his society. S. G. johnson represented Acme with the essay entitled The Past and Pres- ent a history of the Jewish race. The chief event of the evening was the hotly contested debate on the ques- tion :-Resolved, that all trusts and combinations intended to monopolize industries should be prohibited. C. H. Houts and E. F. Baird of Acme upheld the affirmative and E. H. Pear- son and H. W. Hinman of Cadmean supported the negative. The affirmative main- tained that trusts destroy competition, are adverse to invention and improvement, and are positive evils since they are monarchs and violators of the law. The nega- tive claimed that trusts and combinations should not be prohibited but regulatedg they are the results of natural evolution and to prohibit them would mean to lower wages, thus taking a step backwards. The rebuttal was especially good since all of the men were able to think and not stumble through their parts. The decision of the judges, Professor I. T. Shaw, E. J. Moore, and R. R. Carpenter, was for the negative. 137 Caclmean Roll of Members C. S. Ford, L. ll. Griffith. H. VV. Hinman, K. S. GZ1l:fillCl', li. S. jones, D. llradely, l. L. Marsh, R. V. Nordby, V.

'l'hings looked a little discouraging at first, but each member made up his mind to get busy and bring new fellows every succeeding meeting, the result of which was that at the end of the year there were 22 select ones. The work during the year has been on the whole a success. Social. political. and economical problems of life have been considered with as great enthusiasm as if the prosperitylof the whole world depended upon their right discussion. Essays on great subjects have been read: some of which are worth giving a place in the popular magazines of tlie country. The society has developed a few orators and debaters who in the future will, undoubtedly, win first places in platform contests. The extemporaneous part of our program has been the most exciting one. Here the talents of the speakers were tested with astonishing results. Subjects of cur- rent importance were handled excellently in the short time given. XVe have enjoyed several stag parties at the homes of some members of the society, which have proven to be an excellent opportunity for the members to be- come acquainted with each other, and have been, indeed, a great source of pleas- ure. lint the success of the society was crowned when we won every point in the Union Annual, which was this year a private affair. It not only increased our membership, because people began to see that CADMEAN is doing something after all, but greatly encouraged the members to do better work in the future, and keep up the reputation of the society. 138 CADMEAN Acme Roll of Members W.

Each year, it is composed almost entirely of new members, but the programs are interesting and well prepared. Acme has been an invaluable aid to the Academy boys in teaching them to think and speak forcefully, on their feet. Here also many of the Academy students have received their first parliamentary training, and here has been developed an ever increasing number of strong members for the college societies. Not a few of Oberlin's most brilliant debaters, orators, and students, can recall with pleasure their first literary efforts given in old Acme. For two successive years has Acme furnished the first debate teams, which have repre- sented the Academy. In 1905, Street, Hayden, Sharp and Swing debated the question of the regulation of railroad rates, in a manner which made every loyal Cad feel proud of his team. In 1906, Acme sent forth Bucher, Solether, Ford and Ament to represent the Academy in debate with its greatest rival, Oberlin High School. The question debated was that of ship subsidies, and by their thorough preparation, quick thinking, and forceful debating, these debators won a unanimous victory for Acme and for the Academy. May its future history be that of consistent and steady work, and so may Old Acme make a real contribu- tion to the students of Oberlin Academy. , 140 ACME Lesbian E imagine that we hear someone ask, And what does Lesbian mean P We would like to have you know that Lesbian stands for us, and that we are a vital part of this great institutiong we are the girls of the Academy who are following the pursuit of knowledge along the literary line. Itis true that for several years it almost seemed like only a few coals smoul- dering away in vain, but we are glad to say that a flame has finally been fanned out from these coals and today we have a real, live, wide-awake literary society. During the year we have spent many a pleasant evening together and have enjoy ed the productions of our respective members. And although perhaps all our lofty plans have not been realized, we feel that it has been well worth our while. Our numbers have increased rapidly and we are now proud of our enroll- ment. liach one has been faithful and enthusiastic and seemed glad when called upon to serve for Lesbian. Our work, however, has not all been along the literary line, but we have tried to develop the social side as well. On the twenty-fourth of February we entertained all the Academy girls at a dance and we had a chance to get better acquainted with one another. llut I must not forget to add that we have'not only entertained but. have also been the recipients of several entertainments from others. We are indebted to the members of the other societies of the Academy, who have treated us so royally. We were present at the debate preliminary to the famous High School- Academy Debate 3 and the Cadmeans very kindly extended us an invitation ,to attend their stereopticon lecture on the 'l'encments of New York, which of course we accepted, and we found the lecture ve1'y interesting as well as instruc- tive. Next came the Union Annual and we were glad of the opportunity to show our loyalty once again. Never before has our society been in such a thrifty condition and we earn- estly hope tl1at this is only a good beginning and that the Lesbian of the future will go on and attain those ideals which have perhaps been mere fancy to us. 142 31' LESBIAN Q,IIlCS'l'l'IR S. llifciiicu Cl.II 'l'ON S.

BOUT one-thirty each Saturday afternoon, in the Tribune building, in 3 liftlc inside room, containing two desks, four chairs and a table, there appears a tall, rather lank, spectacled individual, officially known as the editor, who sits down at one of the desks and begins fumbling over a large pile of papers and magazines, technically called exchanges, which have accumulated during the week. These he opens and looks through rather hurriedly for any points of interest which may catch his eye. This done he throws them on or at the table and begins a vain search through a number of small pigeon holes for some copy which the associate editor or some member of the editorial board may, by accident, have left at or near the time it is required to be left. There is absolutely no copy to be found. But the printer must have at least three pages set', on Saturday. for so the contract says. What is to be done? This is not the week for material from the let,' editor. who is always on time. There is the U. S. A. lecture write up which the news editor was to hand in, but owing to an overworked library privilege he is unable to get it done before Monday. The ball game is not called yet and so cannot be written up until Monday. The parties will not co-me until evening, and the people, who have left town for Saturday and Sunday. have not all been accounted for as yet so that no small news items or personals can be prepared. just as the editor begins to realize all this, the printer appears and asks how soon copy will be ready. - Very soon now, is the reply. Then the man of the paste pot and shears begins to recall what has happened during the week. He remembers a few of the happen- ings, hastily puts them into words, scribblcs them down on paper in the form of copy, and hurries to put the copy on the hook upstairs. Immediately he leaves the office in order to avoid any further calls for copy. Monday morning comes. The editor again appears in his Sanctum, ll If the receding Sunday has been rainy or he has Things run more- smoot 1 y. p had nothing else to do he may have been able to grind out an editorial or two, which will be ready for the copy box the first thing on Monday. Then the qualifiers begin bringing in a supply of poorly written, unimportant news items. These he gets into shape by the use of the aforesaid shears and pot of paste. l47 Soon the news editors appear with good write ups of the week's happenings and the editor begins to cheer up as the sixteen pages to be filled decrease in number. The associate editor, after long periods of thought and mnnerous unsuccessful attempts, has been able to produce an editorial which with a little care on the part of his superior may be made fairly readable. Towards noon the Athletic editor comes in and inquires how much space he can have for the class games. He is told that she's nearly full and he cannot have more than five-tenths. He then sits down and proceeds to write eight-tenths Qof a pagej. After dinner the Toiler must have his article read and approved or filed in the drawer with the eds of the qualifiers, to be used later Cwhich means neverj. Then a few more articles are writen, the exchange stuff, which the exchange editor has kindly prepared, looked over, the number of pages of copy figured up and the editor departs. Tuesday a few short articles are edited and in the afternoon the last editorial is written, while the associate editor and one or two of the board read galley proofi' and make comments on news and laugh at witty things the articles are made to contain through the mistakes of the typesetters. When all the copy is ini' the editor makes the dummy, which shows the printer how the articles are to be arranged. After supper he drops in to see what progress is being made and finds that three galleys have not been read. So he has them proved and reads them. Perhaps he reads the Nad. pages for the Business manager who is detained at one of the boarding houses. Upon inquiry the editor finds that the pages will be set before morning and he, being an industrious'student with a seven-thirty class 'asks that the pages! be proved and left on the desk so that he may read them before breakfast in the morning. On Wednesday morning he arrives at the office shortly after four o'clock and if the printers have been feeling just right the page proof will be ready and his work on that issue will be finished before breakfast. If the printers have not 'been in an agreeable mood there is no proof and the editor has nothing to do but wait two long hours until breakfast time and then read proof later in the day. By noon the forms are locked and after dinner the presses begin to turn and run the paper. Between three and four o'clock it is off the press, being folded, placed within the cover, fastened together and trimmed. The result is that at five o'elock there are ready to be delivered at the post office about one thousand copies of a college paper, published weekly by t-he Union Library Association of Oberlin College, and known as the Oberlin Review.

KOEI-ILIAER The Oberlin Forum, 1905-6 OR a munber of years Oberlin's interest in debate has steadily increased, and the enthusiasm manifested last year in the Wesleyan and Notre Dame contests bore fruit in causing more to strive for forensic honors than ever before. The fall preliminaries were somewhat delayed, but that increased rather than diminished the spirit of the debaters, and the faculty committee report them the best preliminaries we have had in years. The committee chose Mr. Lutz, '07, Mr. Whitmer, Sp., and Mr. Henderson, '06, to defend the Crimson and Gold against Reserve, and ,Mn Dye, '06, Mr. Koehler, '08, and Mr. McGill, '07, to defend it against Ohio Wesleyan. Both teams went to work at once upon the railroad rate question, and by the time for the contests had mastered it in its broader outlines. All worked hard, faithfully, and persistently, and with the helpful criticisms of the ever- willing faculty committee developed some very effective arguments. The out- come of the debates is at first sight rather disappointing, Ohio Wesleyan winning unanimously, and Reserve by a divided decision of the judges. The Reserve debate occurred on the home platform and was exceedingly close--so close in fact that many thought that Oberlin should have had the decision, but the judges thought not. The Wesleyan debate took place in Delaware, and although defeated, the Oberlin team was in the struggle from start to Finish, and was enthusiastically cheered by the loyal basket-ball boys who were in Delaware at the same time. 150 1 H. L. LUTZ P. E. WI-IITMER I.. C. HENDERSON But after more reflection the season has not been so disastrous as at first sight appears. Those who participated have the satisfaction of knowing they did their best, and that thereal value of debating does not lie in the w-inning but rather in the training which preparation for such a contest gives. Then, too, the season has developed debaters who another year will bring victory. Lutz, who has always been strong and reliable, Koehler, McGill, and Whitmer, have all had an opportunity to develop their powers, and will give strength and steadiness to the teams of next year. Only two, Dye and Henderson, will be lost by graduation. The support given the debaters by the U. L. A. and the student body deserves the highest commendation, and has helped to make the season successful in another way. The U. L. A. this year appropriated S150 for prizes for the debaters, and have shown their further good will by voting a permanent annual appropriation of an equal amount. The student body has show-n its interest and support by largely attending the Reserve contest, and by encouraging the debaters with their excellent rooting. All of which prove a decided stimulus in the future. The year has been successful, not so much in itself, but because it has been a splendid preparation for future contests. The inter-collegiate league has been reorganized, and hereafter the debating will be confined strictly to under-graduates, So with the men who now have had experience, and with the encouragement given by the students in general, next season should be one of the most successful in our debating history.

CIIAMIEERLAIN 155 The U L A Lectures for 1905-6 Jack London, Nov. 7 M r. jack London commenced his ad- dress on Socialism by detailing some hard luck stories out of his own expe- rience, claiming that he had been badly fooled by several employers in his youth. This seemed to him to show that our social system is all wrong. The second part of his address consisted in elaborating the single point that, un- dcr present conditions, poverty and wretchedncss exist. Jerome K. Ierome and Charles Battell Loomis, Nov. 28 The second entertainment was funny fnot that it was a joke, of coursej. Col- lege life ought to furnish solid basis for conceptions which as children we have held thoughtlessly. Mr. Jerome served such an end in demonstrating that Eng- lish humor travels under correct repute. I-Iis readings were largely from Three Men in a Boat, the method being that after a joke had been broadly stated three times, it was thoroughly ex- plained, and then the audience was asked to join in the chorus. Mr. Loomis supplied the American brand of risibility-food. His description of the professional reader's rendering of Poe's Raven,' on a lodged elevator was worth fifty cents of any man's money. Henry Watterson, Dec. I2 The famous oration upon Abraham Lincoln, which had once before been delivered in Oberlin thirteen years be- fore, was Col. Watterson's contribution. lt was a perfect ensample of-old school Southern oratory. But, aside from its rhetorical charm and interest, it threw a distinctive Southern light on the career of Lincoln. lt was originally written by a South- crner who admired Lincoln for South- ern audiences who despised him. 156 q,.3f:.rf.e. . Douglass Hyde, jan. 16 Irish Folk-Lore was treated by Dr. Douglass I-Iyde, the Irish savant. lly fairy tales and legends which he had discovered in a unique and delight- ful Irish setting, where leprenchaun, mays, dragons and earles' sons were the materiac draniatis, but which he traced back across Europe and across history to an early Aryan origin, he showed that the Celts are a distinct people from their neighbors on the map. Samuel Gompers, Feb. zo The Hon. Samuel Gompers, Presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, spoke upon The Attitude of Organized Labor. Mr. Gompers' ros- trumi presence reminded one of the de- scriptions of Stephen A. Douglass. He certainly showed himself a master of rough-and-ready oratory. After the lecture an opportunity was given for the audience to ask questions, and Mr. Gompers equivocated in answer to Prof. Wolfe's question as to Labor's attitude toward arbitration, informed Prof. Fullerton that the Unions are teaching the Church a lesson, and gave Prof. Currier a choice selection of spic- ings when the latter ventured to refer to Gilhooly of Chicago as a hired thug. Woodrow Wilson, March zo By far the most enjoyable and val- uable entertainment of the course was President VVilson's talk on VVhat It Means to Be An Americanf' It was simply an insistence that Amer- ica should not cling in pride to her crudeness for the sake of the young strength, of which it has been an ac- companiment, but should insure the per- manence of her influence by making each achievemnct perfectiand finished, by pressing on to thorough culture. 157 Miss jane Addams, Oct. 27 Miss Jane Addams, director of the Hull House Social Settlement in Chi- cago, gave us an interesting account of the valuable work which is being done by that institution. Dealing with a class of people, mostly foreigners and the lower class of Americans, one-third of which are children under fourteen, the two great objects of the work are educational and social. In catching the interest of the people, and directing their thoughts to better things, the Set- tlement workers employ much ingenu- ity. Hon Samuel B. Orth, Dec. I4 Through M r. Orth's lecture on Aaron Burr we gained a panoramic view of a life the details of which are familiar to every American schoolboy. He showed us Aaron Burr, the man brilliant in all things which he undertook, the marvel- ous scholar, the successful soldier, the talented lawyer, the thorough organ- izer, the phenomenal politician. I-Ie told us of his charming bearing and fascin- ating personality, which at the last could not conceal the lack of moral prin- ciple, without which no one is truly great. Prof. Richard G. Moulton, jan. II We were entertained by a reading rather than a lecture in hearing Prof. Richard G. Moulton, of the University of Chicago, talk on the Book of Job. He ran rapidly through this dramatic poem with a narrative introduction condensing from his own edition in the Modern Reade-r's Bible, We ,were face to face with the mystery of suf- fering, and were interested in the five solutions which Prof. Moulton finds in the poem. 158 Dr. Dudley Allen, Feb. 8 To be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table was the cen- tral thought of Dr. Dudley Allen's lec- ture. In applying this to college life his plea was for a wider range of inter- ests for the student. Probably in college if ever, one's taste for art, literature, music and other kindred interests will be developed and the riclmess and breadth of life itself will, in a large de- gree, be measured by the extent of this development. Versatility then, a wealth of interests, many visions to save one from the sordid things of existence, was the essence of his message. President Henry C. King, March 8 In listening to President King's lec- ture, we were called upon once more to reflect upon the things of ultimate sig- nificance in life. To be what we ought, to count as we can, to enjoy what we may--these are the important things. Both body and mind are made for action and from this fact four great inferences may be drawn. There is an enormous place accorded to will and actiong self- control is of supreme importance, ac- tivity is the best expression of our better self: by expression in work our activities develop character. Prof. George W. Vincent, April zz A rapid fire of words, a wealth of story and illustration, bright flashes of humor, keen bits of wit, sound philos- ophy withal, the power of an interesting personality-these Prof. George VV. Vincent gave ns in his lecture on Sel- fishness and 'Unselfislniessf' He spoke of the self psychologically, told of the material, social and spiritual elements, likening the mind to a stereopticon where the slides are the past experiences which Hash before the mind, or a great circle with many concentric circles with a nucleus which is the selfish self. 159 HON. WV. B. WHEELER HON. T. E. BURTON The Gubernatorial Campaign in Oberlin. A personal canvass of the men of the school by one or two prominent upper- classmen was the morning-gun of the political contest last autumn. Following this effort came Congressman Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland, who presented Governor Herrick's point of view in the campaign in the First Church on the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 3, to a well-filled house. His address was comprehensive, clear and masterly. On the evening of the following day, Saturday, Mr. Wayne B. Wheeler, the Ohio state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, addressed a still larger audi- ence in the First Church on behalf of the Democratic ticket. Mr. Wheeler was in- troduced by Dr. Bosworth in a fifteen-minute speech which struck the key-note of Oberlin's view of the whole matter and was perhaps the most significant utterance of the campaign. VVayne Wheeler's address which followed was exceedingly concrete and simple and powerful. I The concluding speech of the series was delivered by Governor Herrick him- self, on the ensuing Monday morning at eleven o'clock, who in spite of his evident and natural exhaustion at the close of an arduous campaign spoke at length on the charges which had been made against him, and produced evidence to show that they were without ground. J 160 The Art Exhibition. fl- The Art Exhibiiion of 1906, M ar. 27-Apr. 7, was . fully as interesting and successful as those of previous years. In addition to about fifteen hundred repro- ductions from the College collection, there were sev- l eral especial features. The fine section devoted to japanese art, the collection of etchings and engravings arranged by Dr. Dudley P. Allen, the color engrav- ings by Nordfelt, and the photogravures loaned by a Berlin company, bore the testimony to the energetic and tasteful management of the Exhibition, and were enjoyed by an incessant stream of visitors. The chief object of attention, however, was the cast of Venus de Milo, which was contributed to the College by the students of the Classical Departmentg and which arrived in time to do the honors at the informal opening reception on Monday evening. The lectures were unusually satisfactory and well attended. Tuesday, March 27, 3: I5-The Appreciation of Pictures, Professor Edward Dickinson.

Entertainments Oberlin's opportunities this vear to witness drzunatic performances unham- Jcred by the too numerous accessories of nrinv modern theater productions were not limited to Mr. Greet's interpretation of Twelfth Night. Mr. Leland Powers, who came here through the Y. M. C. A., in his dramatic presentation of Cyrano de 'Llergerac succeeded in giving to his audience such a sense of scenery and strong CllZll'IlClL!l',ClTCClS by the simple power of his high artistic rendering, that no one felt the need of a visible background for the play. Mr. Powers carried with him throughout the sympathetic imagination not only of those to whom the play was familiar but just as successfully, of those who only knew Cyrano cle Bergerac through his own interpretation. The fascination that always lies in trying to uncover the surface of things and rind the secret beneath, and the inevitable, baffling' result of discovering that the secret lies still deeper, hidden from mere curiosity, must have been the con- tribution of Mr. Torado 'l'aft's subject to thc interest of the lecture given by him under the auspices of the Y. XV. C. A. lt was especially interesting to have Mr. Taft, who is himself both an eminent sculptor and a critic of art, explain carefully, with his studio in reality rpon the stage, the practical side of the idealized marble which was to be seen a few months later at the Art Exhibition. The lecture was entertaining as well as instructive, for Mr. Taft is an easy and fluent speaker, full of spontaniety anil alive with humor. l-lis lightning transformation effects in facial caricature seemed almost magical. N52 The Day of Prayer for, Colleges. I-IE pulse of the religious life of Oberlin is so regular and strong that the Day of Prayer for colleges affected our system only like an exhilarating tramp across the hill. There seemed to be no strain, no wear and tear of spiritual Hbre, we only breathed more deeply of the pure, sweet air and stepped out more boldly on our long journey. lt is well to view the week in retrospect to strike the sanest synthesis. We can still see Robert R. Gailey towering before us in all his massive manhood. Physically Mr. Gailey is a big man, strong, vigorous, and calculated to create a great impression. His addresses were likewise calculated to create a great im- pression, but unfortunately the dent left in Oberlinls religious consciousness is not nearly so large as the calculations call for. Then there was Miss Penfielcl of the Cleveland Y. VV. C. A.. who assumed the responsibility of reviving the fail- ing Hres of faith in the hearts of the Oberlin girls. Special meetings were held for the ladies on WVednesday and 'l'bursday eveningsg the latter being for the ladies only, this report is mere hearsay. lt is perfectly safe to say, however, knowing Miss Penlield, that ber efforts were tactful, well directed and full of womanly wisdom. ROBERT R. GAILEY 163 AS YOU LIKE IT. Ben Greet in Oberlin Within a year we have had three plays of Shakespeare done by Mr. Greet's l laye1's,-two of them, As You Like lt, and A Midsummer Nights Dream, under the trees of the campus, and Twelfth Night in llfarner Hall. The out- of-door performances were managed by the Athletic Association, the indoor one by the Department of English. As blue a sky as ever bent over the Forest of Arden, as fair a moon as ever silvered the tree-tops of an Athenian wood, lent enchantment even to Shakcspeare's pastorals. On a stage without curtain or settings, Ursino and Viola sighed for love, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew wakcd the night owl with a catch, and Malvolio displayed his cross-gartered legs. In the first two performances, sky and trees, moonlight and balmy air served to make the verse of the poet more lovelyg in the last, it was found to stand in need of no adventitious charm. Rosalind, Touchstone and Jacques, Bottom and Titania, have walked about under our treesg Malvolio and Sir Toby and Sir Andrew have all but rubbed elbows with us. They could not be more real than they are on the printed page, but they are now become to us more vital. Our shifting academic world of sport and study has touched the abiding world of art, and is the richer and the more significant for the contact. ltil Ben Greet Program 1 Characters The Banlsl ed Dnlee .. ...SYDNEY GREENSTREET.

After a reception lasting three-quarters of an hour and a six-course banquet for which the tables were decorated with chrysanthemums, violets and smilax, President R. H. Long introduced the following toasts: Reasons, President King, X, the Unknown Quantity, Miss E. E. Hop- kins, Reve1'ies, Dean Fitch, Futurus esse, T. M. Dye, The Four-Mile Post, Miss Florence Hull, Looking Backward, Professor Cole. The Junior Party After the performance of Lyly's Endymion in Sturges the juniors ad- journed to Baldwin, where they taxed the big dining room to its utmost while doing justice to a too, too pleasant supper. The Sophomore Party The Sophomores, at the First Church Chapel, enacted Love and Mush- rooms. Following the farce the class seated themselves at six long tables where re- freshments were served. The class president, Mr. Koehler, acted as toastmaster The Freshman Party ' The Freshman party was held in Peter's Court, the entertainment consisting in A Fatal Message, by bl. K. Bangs, and in a satisfying lunch after which Pres- :dent Smith as toastmaster, gave a short opening address. Conservatory Party The Conservatory Faculty gave a reception to the Conservatory students in Warner Hall. A Victor Talking machine and brick ice cream furnished the entertainment.

CORSITES AND TELLUS SIR TOPHAS AND EPPY 169 Washington's Birthday, 1906 REV. DAN F BRADLEY February Twenty-Second, 1906 The annual Washington's Birthday address was delivered by Dr. Dan F. Bradley of the Pilgrim Congregational Church of Cleveland. His subject was The Radicalism of Washington and Lincoln, and in his lecture he emphasized an entirely different phase of their characters than is ordinarily brought out. Speaking first on VVashingt0n, he described him as rough, energetic, hot- headed radical, who only by careful self-restraint made his character effective. The Washington whom he portrayed was more human and real than the dignified, moderate, and determined leader whom most persons have conceived him as being. Lincoln, also, he depicted as a radical, and although this seemed still more strange and overdrawn, Dr. Bradley carried his audience with him. The address held up high ideals of patriotism and civic reform. The First Church was crowded with an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. THE WASI-IlNGTON'S BIRTHDAY RECEPTION Warner Gymnasium, from 7.00 to 9.00 P. M. The great event of Oherlin's social year has always been the Wasliingtoifs Birthday Reception, given by the faculty to the students: and this year was no exception to the rule. The gymnasium was decorated with the honored first president's portrait and various class banners, the blue and gold of '06 holding the place of honor. On the west side the heads of departments received, President and Mrs. King, Professor Peck, Professor and Mrs. Morrison, and on the east side the deans. Professor and and Mrs. Bosworth, Professor and Mrs. Miller, Mrs. VVoodford, and Mrs. Fargo. Frappr? was served from the jonquilgdecked tables in the corners, and the Glee Club sang during the latter part of the evening. 170 . IVI. C. A. Stags Stagdom is a province which the men of Oberlin are but beginning to enter. A good impetus toward a complete occupation of the field of college life was given, however, by the marked success of the stags that have been held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association during this year. The first events were two Stags given on the opening nights in Peters Court. These were primarily for the new men, but they served as a means of whetting the appetites of both old and new men for the event of the season, which came the first Saturday evening of the term. This is a time that would satiate the most ravenous appetite of even the most ardent lovers of stag life. Four hundred and seventy men gathered on the com- mons fCollege cow pasture?j north of Dill field and for two hours and a half revelry reigned supreme around a roaring bonfire. After a good feed, President King made a few remarks from an improvised stage and Mrs. Folk caught him in the act. In all seven Stags have been given throughout the year. One of the most significant was the Ifiible study stag, at which each llible class performed some stunt. Oberlin stag life this year has helped to produce virile good fellow- ship among the men. 171 . -V l eff s 1. 1 'Jimi ' F, sl E Y. W. C. A. Bazaar. Quite a scene of transformation was evident in severe old Peters on the after- noon of December 16, last fall. Every niche and corner was artistically deco- rated with a gayly colored booth, displaying its wares in the most enticing manner. It was a miniature World's Fair. The visitor could supply his each and every wantg for the candy cart, the studio, the poppy bed, the Christmas tree-to say nothing of the coffee and cocoa, the lemonade and ice cream booths and the tea room furnished alluring and attractive dainties of every description. In each of the society rooms a stage was set up, and the dramatic ability of Oberlin was appropriately displayed. The Poppy Daucef' the Floradora Sex- tette, the Senior stunt, the Peter Newell pictures, and the l,adies' Home journal Entertainment will be long remembered by their fortunate observers. The llazaar marks a step forward in Oberlin's social life, but it also was highly successful from a financial standpoint, and there can be no doubt that it will be duplicated many times. lts success was due to careful planning by the Advisory Committee and to the willing and loyal support of the entire feminine student body. 172 1 . IH Itltll! I The Glee Club trips this year were successful in every se11se of the word. The new men worked in admirably, the weather was propitious, and Mr. Pecles careful management had removed every inconvenience and taken away every care. To those who had always lived in the East the western trip during the Xmas holidays was especially interesting. Good fellowship was the key note of the entire tour. Whatever discords may, at careless moments, have rent the soul of njaclcy Horner or made null the soporiiic eii'ect of lVlrs. VVinslow's Soothing Syrupl' had no effect on the social harmony. Even the presence of Calamity alias Kursed be Kursed was born cheerfully, nay gladly. Mr. VVirlder of the Academy, in view of his many years in a Kansas dugout felt called upon to instruct at every turn, pointing out now a fy-picail 'ZQlC'S'fC'l ll' town, again a corn field. or perhaps a ranch. But he fell down when he tried to palm ont an abandoned railroad embankment for a typical western Indian burial mound. From Wessington Springs, S. D.. the most western point, as a base of sup- plies the club indulged in carefully planned, personally conducted excursions in order to get acquainted with the western customs. Dinner on the Pullman was the great event of each day. lt is really remark- able, how it thaws out one's complacency to whiz through small towns while one dincs in due form and splendor. The wonder arises if after all one is not con- nected with an Earl or Duke. The second day out one of the Freshmen confessed confidentially a slight twinge of gout. On the return trip, perhaps the most enjoyable part was the long ride from Denison, la., to Chicago on a fast train. The spring trip, confined to this state, completed the Glee Club season. The members all feel that this year has added much to memory's store, pictures shaded with mirth and friendship, that when viewed through the light of years to come will be priceless. 173 OBERLIN COLLEGE GLEE CLUB 1905-6 Oberlin Glee Club, 1905-6 j.

EHXZAQW The Student Band 1905-6 FOR FACUL TY' MliMBERS .- The band this year has been the best ever. The assistance it has given tc the Athletic department of thc college has been of material as well as of a pleas- ing nature. Yet there is no question but that even this year! band has failed uuutterahly and miserably in reaching the standard of perfection which Oberlin's musical halo would lead prospective students and others to expect. This is due partly to the fact that tJherlin's musical professors aid merely in a negative way, in building up such a band as would represent our college. Nor can we blame them for this, for reasons both lengthy and patent. S0 do not understand us to be lcnocking g we are not. What we ask is that such a hand be built up here as will enlist the support ol the Conservatory faculty. This is not an unattainable and hair-brained scheme, rnderstand, but one we hope to see .mon realized in Oberlin. ln short, the faculty must vote such inzlucements as part tuition, and some credit in order to induce competent musicians to comeg anal the band must be placed under the charge of some member of the Conservatory faculty or some competent person whom they may select, and with whom they will co-operate. J. li. Cragim. 178 I . , . Our Band. With Music in her classic forms Sure Oberlin is amply blestg In truth her unremitting charms .Too oft inspire a s.1vage breast. At such a time what sweet relief To have at hand A respite, thoro, if but brief, Our student band! The stately Festivals of May, I The rhapsodies of Christmas time,- We dulv render each its day And paste with adjectives sublime. But when we mark on fields of light Our Warriors stand, I We thrill responsive with delight T' hear our band! We melt in tender sentiment . To hear Gerardv call lns strings, The solemn Choirs celebrate Vast T hings abstract each Sabbath morn, We anxiously appreciate In l'CV,l'C1'lt nervous rapture borne. But where the gallant pigslcin soars 'Tis crudely grand To hear in echo to our roars An adequate bandliz The strains which flood in Paradise And ebb around the stars of light Match not the harmony which llies When back from some victorious fight Th' exultant throng' is lcd along After the band, And aching throats are helped of song By Cragun's band! The plaintive flute may voice our loves, The mandolin our lesser moods, Our hearts faint in sweet wondermentllut when a mighty passion moves, When Witherspoon or Kelsey sings. An eagle on our ensign broods,- But, ah, our bosoms madly swell, Then do our lordly hearts demand Cur lives expand, Our student band, To sense the rhythm from each horn-bellTo meet a primal fierce demand, Of unser band!

Wolfe The subject for discussion and research during the year past has been Rail- roads. The sessions of the seminar have been in general interesting and well attended. On one occasion our honored director failed to put in a prompt appear- ance, but the explanation fwhich was brought to light by diligent research, after our own kind, and not by any volunteered informationj was highly satisfactory. It has been generally felt that a large measure of the success of the year has been due to the efficient and energetic care of Professor Wolfe. The fact that the question for discussion in the Ohio State Debating League was similar to that of the seminar enabled our work to be of assistance to the Oberlin debating teams, and gave interest to it during the First semester. During the present semester the time and interest of the Economic Seminar have been centered in the preparation of the following papers: . E. PRATT ........................................

'the membership has in- creased from three hundred and iive to four hun- dred and seventy-five, a gain of more than one- half. Much has been done in a social way to arouse interest in the Association, and the finan- cial problem has been made an incentive to en- thusiastic work rather than a burden. The Bazaar combined in itself both the social and financial interestsg it was planned as a social event which should include the whole institution, and as such it was enjoyed by seventeen hundred peopleg but it also netted over four hundred and fifty dollars, an amount far in excess of the wildest hopes of its originators. Wfith part of this sum a piano has been purchased and thus a long-felt need in the Association 'work has been supplied. This year for the first time the Association has employed a General Secretary on full time. The success with which the work has met along many lines has been largfely due to Miss James' efficient service and to the efforts and deep in- terest of the Advisory Board and other Facility members. Another important factor in our work has been the inspiration and enthusiasm gained by the girls at the Summer Conferences. The proximity of the Lake Erie Conference made it possible to send a much larger number of dele- gates than usual, and the elfects have been felt through the whole Association work. 185 1 . l I l I I I 1 I L Y.

X. f , KZ 5' f fl X715 ff fl f mnlvi X College religious organizations are some- times thought of as offering extra duties which are to be assumed only by the specially pious. Nothing could be farther from the truth as far as Oberlin Young Men's Christian Association is concerned. More than any other organization, it provides for Oberlin men a bond of manly unity. In it the junior 'Cad, the underclassman, the upperclassman, and the Senior theolog hold equal rights. Around it center in large degree the masculine interests of the institution. Including as it does in its membership an overwhelming majority of the men, it unoffieially influences all the undergraduate activities, and the opinion of its leaders becomes a conspicuous index of stu- dent opinion. When the dream of the Barrows Memorial Building shall have been realized--and only then --the Association will occupy the largest place in the life of the institution, which is its .legiti- mate right. In a school where the opposition to an organization of such sane spirits is negligible, we have a right to expect that an adequate As- sociation building will attract to its rooms every man connected with the college life. From it will radiate all the lines of student activity among the men, and in its social hall the present demand for more stag life will be adequately met. Until this dream is fulfilled the work of the Association is at best limited. It is not a small thing, however, that during the past year it has secured employment for men amounting in value to S4,500.00. Moreover, the very fact that the Y. M. C. A. offers few material advantages em- phasizes the noteworthy place it holds. That it should attain a membership of nearly five hun- dred, and should successfully raise a budget of SI,600.00, reveals the genuine student interest in a strictly religious organization. 187 Y. M.

Oberlin ln the course of a summeris adventures three Oberlin men climbed an unnamed mountain in the heart of the Montana glacier region. On the summit they built a monument, and saeriheed their knives to engrave an inscription testi- fying that from August 3. 1905, to the world's end the peak is Mount Oberlin. The monument is probably even now a thing of the past and the name will hardly appear in elementary geographies for some time. Nevertheless, Mount Oberlin is an actuality and somewhere in the Department of the Interior is matter to prove it. It is no mere peak, but stands out by itself, rising high above the pass sep- arating it from Clements Mountain and falling sharply on the other sides. The north wall drops over four thousand feet and gives it an imposing appearance, though the total height is but twice as much. For beauty and variety of outlook it can hardly be surpassed. On three sides rise some of the most beautiful moun- tains of the Big Divide, the Garden Wall and the prairie-like expanse of Flattop among them, while to the West are hundreds of miles of mountains, glaciers. gorges and foothills extending on until sky and distant ranges are one even tint. The few who witness the view will surely feel that Mornt Oberlin is worthy oi its name. 189 1 A N X, f wx xy. Vi lvl? .S : N if 4 IAQJYQ? 'A' hh ' M ' ' W Y 0 J 'X . .,!

The Oberlin College Student Volunteer Band is not, as the postmaster thought in the fall, an organization for the promotion of music at the athletic events of the year, but an organization for the promotion of the influence and efficiency of those who have declared their intention of becoming foreign missionaries by signf ing the Declaration: It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign mis- sionaryf' The missionary element of an active Christian life is receiving increasing emphasis in these days, especially among college students, as is shown by thc- insatiable desire for delegates to the Nashville Convention, and Oberlin is known throughout the country as one of the strong centers of missionary interest The Volunteer Movement has recognized i ts importance by sending here in the past year such secretaries as Pettus, Zwemer and Miss Saunders. Partly through the influence of these secretaries and more largely through the personal influence of other volunteers, the roll of forty at the beginning of the year has been increased to sixty-three, of whom thirty-six are men and twenty-seven women. ' Every department of the college as represented and practically every organiza- tion, so that it stands for a body of representative young men and women, ,who have recognized the inadequacy of the non-Christian religions and the importance of the aim which they have incorporated in their motto The Evangelization of the World in this Generation. Oberlin's long roll of honor in the past bids fair to receive a material increase as these students go out from college life into the world's work. U 191 The Nashville Convention. On February 27, thirty-eight picked men and women left Oberlin for the purpose of attending the Fifth International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions at Nashville, Tennessee. The trip down had its trials and tribulations, but the people of Nashville received the delegates with open arms and healed their bruised spirits. The accredited delegates numbered over four thousand, coming from seven hundred institutions of higher learning in North America and it is estimated that fully two thousand more were in the city. From every point of view, the convention was the largest and the most significant in the student history of the world: for five days, in the great audi- torium meetings and at sectional conferences, speakers from alllover the world and from many nations bore home the message of a world full of need and of the tremendous responsibilities that rest upon the Christian church. The missionary problem in all its phases was handled by men who were admittedly experts and the devotional side of the Christian life was emphasized as of prime importance in the solution of the problem. Robert E. Speer, whose address on the inadequacy of the non-Christian religions was selected by many as the most significant of the convention, stood as a typical representative of the temper of the gathering in his large contribution to this devotional side. The convention may very well be compared, in Mr. Mott's phase, to an im- mense dynamo which. if properly used, can shake the hold of evil on the world and fulfil the coming of the Kingdom of Brotherly Men. For years to come, in life and goods and infiuence, the three thousand student delegates will tell the story of the days of vision beside the Cumberland. 192 ATHLETICS H. L. LUTZ R. W. HOUSILR D. W.

He was a student in Oberlin at the time when the first beginnings were made in athletics and has been in touch with the athletic situation ever since. For three years after graduation he coached and managed the Academy athletic teams. Two years in Harvard afforded him an OppOl'tl1l11lIy of watching the spirit and the style of play of the Harvard Varsity teams. Six years were spent as an instructor in Shadyside Academy, Pittsburg, where he saw the great professional all star foot ball games. 196 The History of Intercollegiate Athletics in Oberlin. By Dean E. A. Miller. lnter Collegiate Athletics in the modern sense were not known in Oberlin until 1890. The first class series of foot ball was played in the fall of this year, but no inter-collegiate games were played until 1891. This year five outside teams were met among them Michigan, who had long been an annual opponent in base ball. The Michigan game was lost by the score of 26 to 6. but in the fol- lowing year she was defeated by the score of 24. to 22. The first track meet was held May 26ll'l, 1890, and in addition to the events now contested there were bicycle races. the standing jump, the mile walk, the hop skip and jump, tug of war, sack race, potato races, and boxing matches. Class basket ball was first played in Oberlin in 1902 and inter collegiate games commenced the following year. The first tennis courts were located on the campus directly in front of Council Hall. This was about 1887. A few games of La Crosse were tried as an experiment in 1887 or 1888, but the game did not take. The great and only game in Oberlin before 1890 was base ball. Every class in the college and academy supported a team. and a good many classes had second teams. The game was played both spring and fall and the season did not end until cold weather stopped it. The Varsity team played one or two out- side games in the spring and one or two in the fall. Michigan and Western Reserve were the usual opponents, with occasional games with Mt. Union and Wooster. The first game on our present base ball ground was a victory over Mt. Union in 1886 or 1887. Oberlin base ball teams played fast ball then and had done so for years. I think the first Oberlin Varsity team I ever saw was the team of l882g and with Tom Pourds and Ed Burwell as batery, they would make any of our recent Varsity teams hustle to defeat them. l'ractieally the only change in the game has been in more scientific batting. The-bunt. the sacrifice hit, the hit and run, and the squeeze play are modern. I ..

The number of games won was not very large, but, after all is said and done, the true suc- cess of a college eleven lies not in the number of games won, but in the degree to which there is instilled in the players courage, unselfishness and the power of self-restraint, and in the student body loyalty to team and college. With this as a criterion, who shall say but that our season was as successful as that of any college in the state? The season opened in the preliminary work at Linwood with great brilliancy of prospects for the championship. The line looked heavier than it had been for a long time, the backs were fast, and there was a wealth of material for each position. ln addition to the material, we had a coach who was one of the best players of the Fast, and a trainer who had spent fifteen years in learning how to get the most from the body for athletic contests. As a trainer, Mr. Keane carried on his work in a skilled and masterful manner. Every injury was treated with the utmost care and the general condition of each player was watchfully studied. Let us now consider what were the disturbing elements. In the first place, the coach was inexperienced. He was undoubtedly a master of the game. His records in the games in which he played on Columbia varsity show him to have been among the fastest and best thinking quarterbacks in the'East. But with all his knowledge of the game he lacked the prime requisite of a good coach. He could not teach. This added to the fact that the style of play was entirely different from anything before tried in Oberlin, proved an insurmountable obstacle to a championship team. 201 ii if l..

Shepler and Hotchkiss had graduated and Barrows, Sandberg, McCloskey and Funk had I failed to return, thus leaving six positions to ' be filled. The first two games showed that the weather was still to be a factor in our schedule, ' for they were pushed through under circum- bl, ., .3 .1 . stances which required the diamond to be moved away from the sticky mass which gen- erally surrounds home plate after a hard rain. i This condition of the weather made a very bad beginning for the season. A mere handful of shivering but loyal supporters were present, while the more lukewarm supporters--with a less than lukewarm insight into weather futur- ities however-failed to invest in season tick- ets as they had done the year before. But by chance the season was not to be a repetition of last year's string of disasters: this chance being that the Oberlin High School, which has been furnishing good athletes for the Varsity teams in past years, presented the unusual CNT' WILEY 'N ACNON' bunch of three men of Varsity caliber who could fit into the vacant places, namely Wilson, VVaters and Smith. Conkey started the season well, Wiley was in better shape than during the previous season, Lightner of Rayen High School fame joined the squad, also Ward from the Academy team. Captain Hoopes, Rupp and Todd had all im- proved from the experiences of the previous season and the discouragements of 1904 were soon forgotten. Hiram opened the season and was defeated 4-2. The game was characterized by weak hitting and loose fielding. Wooster came next and left with a tie score 2-2. There was little improvement in batting and fieldingg however the game was played on a muddy field, With the first Big Six victory over Case the follow- ing Saturday, score 5-4, the team began to work with more confidence, and there was a steady improvement in both batting and general team work. The State trip opened somewhat disastrously at Wooster. Three errors and seven bases on balls in one inning, tell the story of our defeat, 7-2. The next day at Columbus Gberlin played her best game thus far. Wiley was in good form and had the game well in hand at all stages. No less than live State men died on third base. 214 Michigan gave us the best home game of the season. No score was made until the eighth inning when errors by Rupp and Smith gave the game to the vis- itors by the score I-O. Michigan secured six hits off Wiley while Oberlin drew only one. Ohio State came up the following Saturday for her second game. The score was the same as that of the previous game with Michigan I-0 but in our favor. At Ann Arbor it looked as if we had the game well in our grasp at the end of MANMLI-:le 1.oNG ff0fNCll VAVUUR I the third inning, with the score 5-1 in our favor. But in the next inning the Mich- igan men discouragccl Conkey by getting two extra base hits in succession and the game was easy for Michigan after that. The final score was'Io-6. The Eastern trip was an innovation in the history of Oberlin base ball and was especially successful except in view of winning games. Allegheny came first. Taylor pitched. It was his first game in this position and he did well. Several times he pulled the team out of difficult situations by good headworlc. The game began late and was called at the end of the fifth inning with a tie score 3-3 to enable the team to catch a train. At Syracuse we lost by a score of 5-0. Wiley was not in form because of the 215 cold weather, and our fielding was ragged. The game at Ithaca was somewhat better. Cornell was both outlielded and outbatted, but swiped base running and seven bases on balls lost the game 5-2. The deciding game for the Big Six championship was played on June IO with Ohio Wesleyan. Each team had a clear record and expected to win. The field was muddy but the game was remarkably free from misplays. Wiley's record here is worthy of mention. I-Ie struck out eight men, scored twice, made three hits and two stolen bases, and accepted ten chances without an error. Webb of Delaware struck out thirteen Oberlin men but he allowed them to bunch hits and Wesleyan was forced to be content with the score 3-o against her. The championship was clinched in the game with Kenyon. It was the third I-o score of the season. The weather was hot and sultry making the game unin- teresting, except for the fact that only 27 men faced Wiley in the nine innings. Only two men reached first base-on a hit and base on balls and these were caught in trying to steal second base. The season so successfully ended left us with the team almost intact for the season of 1906. Captain Hoopes and Shanty', Conkey were the only men who failed to return. Aside from this loss however we have lost our Coach Win Fauver, w-hom we feel was largely responsible for the good showing of the team made up chieliy of new material. At this early date it is only possible to predict for the season of 1906. The season has started similarly to that of the preceding year-in the rain-with a vic- tory over Hiram and defeats by our hoodoo VVooster, and by Michigan. Alpheus H. Favour, an Amherst man of considerable base ball experience, has been secured as coach g and from the character of his work thus far we can predict the same good work which Coach Fauver gave us last season. . The preliminary work in the Cage was handled ably by Captain Wfiley and the men were .all ,in good condition for the beginning of the schedule. So, other things being equal, our prediction for this year is the Big Six Championship forthe season of 1906! - l . l In ' .

C,'Xl l'.'XlN MORRISON Basket Ball, 1905- 1-IE basket-ball season this winter as a whole was most successful. It moved on from early games of promise to a climax of really brilliant fulfillment, and then to a couple of games slightly anti-climactic. lt cannot be questioned that our team ranks high among the best teams of the XVest. Wfe held Chicago to a score of 25 to 24 on her floor. This was practically a victory, since a familiar floor and the presence of rooters certainly make a greater difference than one point. The Illinois game was much the same, with its score of 31 to 25. Throughout thc first three-fourths of the season the team played a consistent and constantly improving game, and it found its reward in the decisive defeat of Allegheny. When a team can win from as formidable an aggregation as Allegheny sends out, it not only knows the theory of basket-ball but knows how to put that theory into practice. The game was probably the best ever played in Warner Gymnasium. Our men won from an exceptionally fast team because they were still more swift, and were absolutely accurate. Another pleasant feature was the Denison game. The Granville men have long wished to meet Oberlin in athletics. They got their wish, and have now retired to lay down for a few years more. The game with O. NV. U. was won on a good margin, and considering the small, slippery floor, entirely strange to our men, was a thorough victory. From this point the team was star-crossed. O. S. U. put up her best game. Oberlin was off-color. Dame Fortune turned ns down again in the return game with Allegheny on their floor. And then, on the day after the hard Allegheny game, after a night of traveling, during which the team could rest only two hours. we faced Reserve. This was the only available dateg the conditions could not have been avoided. Reserve won I2 to Io. Our schedule, it will be noticed, contained too many important games. It is more than can be asked from a team to play so long a schedule with so few easy games. 222 V N Personnel of Varsity Capt. Morrison has played varsity for two seasons before his election to the Captaincy. He is the best guard in the state and always comes off with a few baskets to his credit. Vlfooster expressed its opinion that he ought to join the Rough Riders. He does play the strenuous style of game. Most is captain for the coming season. He won his position fl. f.j by keeping up to so high a standard of play that he was put on the all-state: team -by every authority. His well-balanced playing deserves the 'highest praise. At no time during the entire length of every game of the season did he fall off from his perfect style of play. Warcl, the basket-ball veteran, could always be relied upon to stick by his man, r. g. Although he was not always as ambitio-us at taking chances as could have 'been wished, he knew the game thoroughly and seemed to hold his knowl- edge where he could get at it very quiclkly. Smith has served his first season on varsity r. f. He was inexperienced, but he bids fair to become one o-f the best forwards in Ohio. His style of play was of the strenuous kind. From first till last he played like a whirlwind. Waters showed what a football man can do in basketball. His play was very rough and many fouls were called against him, but this came fro-m his football training. He made good because of his spring at the toss-up and his ability to shoot baskets. With any sort of a show he always landed a score. Evans played center part of the time. He was a good steady player, who could always be relied upon to make a good play if not a brilliant one. He worked hard for the team. Coach MacKay made a big success for his first season of coaching. He understands the principles of the game and brought forth the best that was in his material. 928 ,u wsu.--4, Z E 9 I I 4 X , 1 1 l 1 , f I K v 1 X' 1 '- SV' X M 1 I -....

SPIERS, COACH KEANE AND CAPT. PRINCE Track and Field, 1905 HE-success ofa track team depends upon the inborn ability of the members, their faithfulness to work, and the skill ofthe coach. Our material did not look promising for the season of 1905. With -the exception of Capt. Bellows, we had no sure point-winner, and this threw the responsibility for victory upon the team's work and the coaching. Upon the latter, there was never any doubt, for Coach Keane was tried in the previous year, and every ounce of worth was sure to be brought out of each man. Our coach is well qualified to co-ach any team in the countryn He has spent thirteen years in professional track ath- letics and can be depended upon to know all there is to know about the game. In 1893 he was champion quarter-miler 'of America, and since then has held the undisputed professional world's championship in the sprints. He is now the holder of some ofthe world's professional sprinting records. The team worked hard and, with an expert to lead them, succeeded in making a good showing for the college. A-fter O. S. U.'s victory in the indoor meet at Columbus on March '18, there were many dark clouds over Oberlin. Yet the defeat was not to the dishonor of the team, for a track team is greatly handicapped by being obliged to Work in a strange gymnasium. So the defeat might easily have been a victory had the meet been held in Oberlin. Wlieii the dual meets with Reserve and Syracuse were past, our prospects had brightened materially. The first was a decisive victory for Oberlin, and the second, tho' lost, was so close that it augured well for a good showing in the Big Six. O. S. U. won the meet, Oberlin second, Reserve third, Kenyon fourth, O. W. U. fifth, and Case sixth. We lost the final dual meet with O. S. U. by a close score. Capt. Bellows was, as usual, the particular bright and shining star of Wfestern Track Athletics. He could generally. be relied upon to give Oberlin Hrs-t place in 229 the high jump and both hurdles. He broke the Big Six 220 yard hurdle record, making it 26 seconds flat. At Syracuse he broke three college records, all of which are better than the Big Six records. Here they are: 220 yards hurdle, 25 I-5 secondsg 120 yards hurdle, I5 4-5 secondsg high jump, 5 feet Ilyq inches. Prince is captain for 1906. He did the dashes and the first quarter of the relay. On the relay team with him were Wachs, Parks and Graves. They won the championship relay cup in the Big Six. Graves and Sargent tended to the quarter-mile, while Warner was Prince's team mate in the hundred. Parks secured a goodly number of prints for Oberlin. He holds the college pole vault record-outdoor, IO feet 9 inches g indoor, IO feet 8 inches. His spe- cialty is pole vaulting, altho' he does well in both the high and broad jumps. He also ran one-quarter of the relay. Hammond was a good second to Parks in the pole vault. Wilmot was a strong two-miler. This was his last season of running, and if we could have had him another year we would have seen a second Anderson. Olmstead and Gifford also showed up well in the two-mile. In the mile Good- enough carried off the honors. He was a nervy runner, who always ran his limit. In the half-mile, Loar, Hoffman and ,Tones were all good. Canouse is a prom- ising runner and will be 'heard from in the future. Besides Bellows, there were in the hurdles Elliott, Grant and MacKay. Elliott was a good team mate to Bellows. He ran a steady race in good time. Farn- ham was first in the weights, with Thompson and Heard good seconds. The team for 1906 will be substantially strengthened in the distance events by Crombie, MacLean and Cables, while Zercher, Cole and jones will add mate- rially to the weights. Boggs and Welsh promise to be good hurdlers. Spires, who was laid out for a year, will be in the game again, and he is good in both the hurdles and dashes. 230 Ist ISI IST lst lst HOME FIELD DAY APRIL 27, 1905 Seniors '05, 35 Con. 7 Snphomores '07, 33 Academy 4 juniors '06, I6X3 Freshmen '08, 3M 120-Yard Hurdle Time I7 sec.

T reasnrer The past year has been one of growth and interest to the Association, the present membership being 226. Several new features have been added to pro- mote renewed interest in out-door sports and to inspire the m-uch needed en- thusiasm among the young women. The Association dance, at Warner Gymnasium, given for the new members was largely attended, and served its purpose, in enabling the girls to gdt acquainted, and in arousing interest. During the foot ball season the Association showed its enthusiasm for Athletics, by presenting the Men's Association with a large Oberlin Banner which were it permissable, they would gladly follow to victory or defeat. Owing to the kindness of Dr. Runyon the young women of the institution were enabled to hear a course of seven interesting, as well as helpful, lectures on First Aid to the Injured. On account of lack of consideration on the part of the weather the skating contest was a hazy dream only. , Anything but hazy. however, were the four riding horses, which, owing to the ambition of two enterprising young men of the college, arrived i11 time to be- come a popular feature in Oberlin life, at the beginning of the Spring term. Did you hear the Conservatory Faculty Concert? If you did, we need not mention its merit, but need only tell you that to the Faculty is due the credit of raising 318000, which with the fiiII0.00 from Dr. Runyon's lectures completes the 32,000.00 required to commence the Recreation Field. 241 I Tennis. The singles in the Tennis Tournament among the young women, deciding the class champions from the four college classes and the Academy and Conservatory were played off during the Fall term. During the Spring term the Interclass Tournament, took place, Miss Ella Fulton '07 winning the championship. Those who won in the Singles, 1904-1905 were: Senior .......... ... ..... ....

OLIVE MILEY ALICE CARPENTER D Basket Ball As was prophesied, the class basket ball games last year were unusually in- teresting, the class of 1907 winning the championship. The girls have already begun practicing for this year's gam-es, which promises to be as spirited as ever. This Fall a new- experiment was tried with the hope of enthusing the girls with the true Oberlin spirit. The Yale-Princeton game was not a disappointment in any sense of the word. In fact, owing to the lack of space as well as to tradition, many who would, could not enter. But those who were there made the most of their opportunity. Song-books from both universities were secured and parodies on popular songs were written to suit the occasion. Waving banners, and rousing songs, accompanied by fudge-pans and chafing dish covers, testified to enthusiasm, which prevailed. The captains were chosen by the athletic association, and the teams were then picked from the four College teams, the Academy and the Con- servatory. The players were evenly matched so that it was more or less a matter of time which determined the victory. Yale finally won. with a score of I3 to I2. Summary of Class Games. Won. Lost. Rank.

I-Ieretofore the College Athletic Association has assumed the Academyis deficit, but under the new regime of a separate organization for the preparatory department they must pay their own bills. To meet this new financial responsibility the students petitioned that an annual feebe charged in addition to the regular term bill. This extra athletic fee is distributed in three payments. The result is that the burden is really trifling to the individual and gives the managers a sure amount to cover guarantees. The boys receive season tickets to all the games. The plan thus far has succeeded admirably. The gain is more than a linancial one. More interest is given to the games and the increased attendance at the contests is arousing a real Academy spirit. Next year will see another change. lly an agreement resulting from the Ohio football conference, all Academy men will be barred from Varsity teams. This will mean much for Academy athletics. The college coaches will no longer be able to pick out the best athletes in the Academy for the Varsity squads. It is a safe pre- diction that if this new strength of material can be filled with the loyal fighting spirit which characterized' the teams of 1905-6, Oberlin Academy will ake a fore- most place in preparatory school athletics.

The Academy football season of 1905 will be long rememberedg not so much for the games won but for the splendid spirit of fight and loyalty which character- ized it from beginning to end. This year ends a chapter in Academy athletic history and the football team penned their paragraph in truly royal fashion. Next year will mark the beginning of a new system of athletics for the Academy. The Varsity teams will no longer be able to draft the three strongest Academy players. This will mean much for the Academy and if the material of next year can be suffused with the 1905 spirit a championship team is assured. The Coach confronted a tough problem last fall. Varsity's heavy hand fell on Captain Thompson, Simon and Sellemeyer. This maneuver left the Academy a light-weight inexperienced squad and a debt in the treasury. But the team rallied around their captain and made a record to be proud of. Much of the season's success was due to the personality of Captain Boggs. The team trusted him implicitly and he never failed them. In a pinch he could be counted upon for the needed gain and his open field tackles were sure. The first game of the season was a victory. West High is always a worthy opponent but they were scheduled for defeat. Long quarter-back runs by Boggs made the touchdowns possible. The game had a good effect. The team knew that although light they had speed and pluck. The rooters knew that they were called upon to support a game team. And they clicl support them throughout the season. Coach Fogg's championship East High team were the next opponents and they proved too much for the light team. This defeat had good results. The team gained much in experience and the rooters were so well pleased with the showing that they met the team at the depot with a hay-rack and welcomed them as the real victors. The next game was the brightest spot on the schedule. In the week fol- ing the East High game, Boggs had been injured in a practice game against Var- sity. VVith Boggs out of it the outlook seemed hopeless but the team. fought University School to the finish for a o to o game. Oberlin's defence in this game was admirable including a sensational stand on the 2-yard line. Vradenburg played a star game at quarter and Ralston, Adams, and Prosser did yeoman ser- vice. ' The game with the Oberlin High School was hard fought as usual. The Academy played with desperation but could no-t stop Dudley and Waite. The last game of the season was with Wellington and the Academy won in a close-fought contest. All things considered the Academy may well be satisfied with the season. J. R.

Wellington High School is not usually deemed a dangerous opponent but they played to win. The first game of the season found the Academy pitchers very nervous. Moore-was replaced by Brown who did well for a time but had to be replaced by Thompson. Wellington seemed to have a feeling for Bill's curves and Ashley w-as called upon. Ashley proved to be the Old Guard of the day and stopped the scoring. The second game on the schedule was with University School of Cleveland. The Academy played a much steadier game and-lost only by a narrow margin. Johnston and Brindle pulled offs few star catches in the field and Smith played well at short. Much credit was dueto Ashley's steady work in the box. Painesville also had a defeat for the'Academy in their bat sack. They batted Ashley hard but many of the hits could. have been cut off- by better fielding. Sargent's curves proved a bunch of mysteries. He struck out no less than 16 men. Ashley pitched another good game against Rayen School. of Youngstown, but a wild throw gave Rayen the only run of the gameeand the victory. In the game with the Oberlin Business College the Academy'droppcd on Cronson's assortment of benders for 8 runs. Ashley and Moore held the booklceepers down to 3 tallies. East High School of Cleveland proved another sharp rock in the Academy's road. East played a hard hitting, almost errorless game and won easily. Paines- ville on their own grounds were not to be denied and won in perhaps the most exciting game of the schedule. The Academy boys fielded perfectly. Paines- ville secured the winning run on a clever squeeze play. The Lincoln High contest proved a bright spot on the Academy's dark hori- zon. Ashley and Smith starred and Academy won 5-4. The last game of the sea- son was scheduled with their old rivals--the Oberlin High School. Moore pitched a good steady game but lacked support at critical moments. Boggs made a hair- raising catch in center field-the star play of the day. With so many defeats the season could not be called a success but it was characterized throughout by a generous spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm. 251 ACADEMY BASKET BALL TEAM, 1908 COLLINGS, Right Forwrlrd.

The Academy Five went through the season with the enviable record of a victory for every game on their own Hoor. Despite the disadvantages of a strange floor the Academy won their first game with Sandusky easily by the score of 22 to 11. At the game the following week against Central High School of Cleveland the Academy songs and yells were constantly in evidence and the Oberlin Band under the personal leadership of smiling 'Heinie helped to keep up the excitement. Captain Heath played a great game throughout. Indeed it may be said that the consistent success of the season was due largely to his leadership. His passing was swift and accurate and gave North many opportunities to score. There was no effort to play for the grand- stand on the part of either forward and that is the kind of play which wins. North, the fast, shifty little forward from the Rayen School of Youngstown made good at his first appearance on the iioor. He made an ideal team-mate for Heath. Opposing guards found him the hardest kind of a man to cover, for he could cage the ball from any position. Both Heath andi North starred in the Central game and after one of the fastest games ever seen on the home floor, Central was defeated 26 to 13. The team went to Cleveland the following week to meet East High. The Academy fought with desperation to avenge the football defeat earlier in the year, but fortune would not be wooed. From whistle to whistle the play was lightning fast. Ashley put up a great hght against the elongated Farasey, the brigl1t and particular evening star of the Cleveland firmament. The fast Eas1 forwards could do nothing, so closely were they covered by Adams and Murphy. Captain Scott of East, one of the speediest players in the business, could not get a basket on Adams. Adams' work at guard throughout the season was of high standard. The team did wisely in electing him Captain for the season of IQO7, for he will make an ideal leader. He is an unseliish, steady player. After a game of alternating advantage, East won by the close score of 32 to 27. The Academy retrieved themselves amply two weeks later by defeating East 22 to 14. The High School game was the biggest surprise of the year. Academy ex- pected to win easily but had to fight every second to win. Murphy threw the winning basket for the Academy. His work was first class throughout the season. The Academy closed the schedule by defeating two teams in one afternoon. South High School of Cleveland were the First victims, and then without a change in the line-up Sandusky was defeated 30 to 3. This was a fitting ending for a remark- ably successful season. 258 X Interscholastic Track Meet Toledo High 26 Cleveland East High 22M Oberlin High 212 zzo-Yard Hurdle Time 282 sec.

Mater Coronata In her gray tower she sits alone, Star-crowned beside the eternal loom, Weaving her web through glow and gloom, The weft to all but her unknown. The while about the mystic room Strange shadows pass the silent walls, And visions whisper, flame and fade, She bends and smiles, the shuttle flies, And like star-dust the fabric falls, While dreams grow still before her eyes, And hearts have peace from weary shows, For she is fair, and very wise, Our Mother, and the threads she knows Whereby her children's lives are made. 'K f ' Who sing her, awed yet unafraid Before her tender mysteries. For still the hours bring gifts to prize. Our voices joinito praise thy name, Where our wide elms fiing gold and flame To hail thy shield in western skies. And -where the blue haze broods afar, Smiling with infinite mysteries. We dream thee ever-watching, wise To give us joy in work and play, And in glad trust of comrades' eyes. Nay, if from out thy splendid store We choose the trinkets, spurn the star, Prizmg the chance-born pleasure more Than thy supremest gifts that are, Being blind,-thou turnest not away. But, in the patience of God's day, Enduring till we grow aware, Thy love enfolds us still the same. 257 Long on gray walls and ivied tower Lingers the loving gold, and deep Chill violet, where the brown leaves sleep, The shadows tell the tenderest hour, When we thine imaging children deem VVc see thee stand in presence now, Mystical qneenly, sad and fairg Upbreathed with flame that binds thy brow, And starlit shadow of thy hair: Ilut deeper burn thine eyes that seem Stedfast and weary with long dream, Yet dreaming gaze too far to weep, And silent grow of God aware. in ak it- if The dead year's heart shall give thee praiseg From hrelight glow we lift our eyes, Where pure and cold our campus lies, And glad we tread thy winter ways. There waits the arch in stars and snow, calm as their rest who sleep so far, Wan as their brows of joy and death, And proud as eyes of martyrs are, Flame-clear, steel-sharp, their path to know. O crowned the more in qneenly woe. And hailed with stedfast dying breath, Mother of saints--what stars again Shall praise thee fromlthe throngs that go Daily the still-shrined names below? Shall there be need of more than these To bear thy seal in blood and pain? Veiled stands the loomg but stern and low lligh watchword for the living war, Thy word rings, Ye are -witnesses! And last we greet thee, gentler seen, Smiling, the spring-touched faces pass, Gray walls grown sober-bright with green Ring to gay voice of lad or lass. Tl1e low lawns laugh in morning-sheen, Gold-slanted murmuring honghs betwee'1 To kiss the dancing-shadowed grass. And some there he with graver eyes, That walk thy paths with step more slow, Lingering, the while the swift hours go And near. so near, the Outland lies! For these,-O Weaver sweet and wise, Speed with thy cheer each parting guest, Be strength thy guerdcn for their quest. 258 Who win thy weft of destinies, The battle-joy thine accolade! And all they dream beneath thy shade Grant them in dust and strife to dare, Unshamed to guard thy standard's snow Yet, deep and sure, thy peace to know, Stainless thy golden memory bear. So, when the war-worn sword is laid Over the still heart,-last and best, Close with thy smile the visioned eyes, And watch unseen thy children's rest. Hkvkvklk So weaves she in her dusky tower, Plying her loom by still starlight, Nor may we mark her web aright Who know but glad or bitter hour. Strange warp and woof, or dark or bright, Her lingers twine the shuttle's trail, Blending the golden strands of joy With cobweb dream-threads, hue and frail Bright threads of dreams that break and fllll And some be red with wounds of youth, And some dark-dyed' of rue and gallg Yet since from all the strange alloy We win the white strands cro-wn of truth, Lo, Mother, we give thanks for all! 2551 Mr. Dooley on the Art Exhibition qE55l1j'l An' what did ye loike in Oberlin spring' vaeashun? asked Hinnissey. Ivrything', said Mr. Dooley, but the Art Exhibition an' it wuz wan iv the quarest things Oi saw in Oberlin. Some wan said it wud pay me to go in, but, believe me, an' Oi had to do th' payin' to go in, an' whan Oi got in Oi felt that it wud eost me more payin' bef'r Oi got out. It was held in th' Areena, whare all th' basketball bizness an' other fights comes off, an' some iv th' college men wuz mad becuz it interfered with th' bath house. Shure, an' it wuz a gr-reat colleeshun iv people an' picthures. There wuz people sthandin' around with their mouths open an' what their mouths wuz open f'r Oi dimiaw, f'r th' divole if Oi cud see annything to eat or drink. An' there wuz seats fixed, but no wan usin' thim, an' it saeined quaer to see people sthandin' aroun' with their mouths open whan they cud've sat down an' kept thim shut. An' did ye iver hear a Ho-ek iv liyetallians whin they firrst landed in this cotmthry? They ar-re great f'r jabbi-rin', but th' loikes iv th' jabberin' at that exhibishun wuz worse than all th' liyetallians in Lorain. It wuz worse than :t poletry show, it wuz. There wuz a Dolctor Campus that wiut arorn' blatherin' loike a guinea. ' An' what about the exhibishun? interrupted Mr. I-Iinnissey. Vis, sir, continued Mr. Dooley, an' th' whole shwarm iv people wuz loo-kin' at piethures on th' wall. Oi says to wan main guy, 'Mistherf says Oi, 'an whare did all this array iv photegraphs hail from?' He dodged me question by sayin', 'New York or Chieaagef an' thin he says, 'an' where be ye from ?' An' Oi says. 'Iverywhere but from here an' Oi'll be from here bef're night' The bloomin' blue- jay niver answered me, so Oi took a squint at th' picthuers. Oi niver wuz much f'r art, hut this wuz a wunderful eollecshun.. An' do ye know, Ilinnissey, th' funnyest things there wuz the sour cougha- gusses from Sidon whare the owld corpses used to be put. They were the quarest collins ifi ivcr saw, the sour eotiglizigiisses wuz. In thim days buryin' mustive bin different. Th' picthrres iv the corpses wuz all on th' lids an' there wus twenty- four pietliures on wan sorr eouglivgrs, an Oi wtindered how th' divole th' paw! bearers cud manage it. An' thin, continued ,Min Dooley, there wuz a bunch iv picthures by th' Berlin Colorgraphin Cumpenny, an' iv all th' red, white any blue mixthures Oi iver saw! On th' square, Ilinnissey, th' colors wuz worse than a eollecshun iv Easter bonnets. Wfan piethure wuz 'Dantea's lJream,' but, glory be, if intox- 260 icants thimselves wud make Dantea dream anny sich colors as wuz in that picthurc. An' ivrybody, continued Mr. Dooley, wuz ravin' about th' beautiful itch- ings. An' they reminded me iv muskeetoe bites, but Oi didn't look f'r muskeetoes. t'r they don't have thim in Oberlin becuz th' rules are too strict. But there wuz only about four dozen iv itchings all to-ld. Some wan said they were worth eight thousand dollars, but that wuz a crazy guess, f'r not even Rockefeller wud be fool enough to pay sich an outlandish price as that. An' believe me, Hinnisscy, that collecshun iv picthures wuzn't alltogether modern, f'r there wuz a Venetian school iv ould paintings that wuz painted on th' deck iv Noah's ark six thousand years bef'r this exhibishun wuz iver held in Ohio. An' th' worst iv all wuz Samothrace, th' Goddess iv Vict'ry, with 'her head broke off. Th' divole if iver Oi heard bef'r iv annyone with a broken head claimin' th' vict'ry. But, added Mr. Dooley, 'th' Chinese collecshun wuz funnier than th' sour coughagusses. There wuz a whole end iv th' Areena covered with th' Haethen tfhinese. It wuz worse than th' cartoons in th' Sunday pa-apers, f'r there wuz women with faces homelier than mud finces. They didn't appear to be cnjoyin' th' exhibishun an' wan cuddent blame thim, f'r there wuz people lookin' an' pintin' at thim all th' toime. Shure, Hinnissey, an' that Chinese collecshun wuz more than Oi cud sthand. Oi got afraid iv th' boxers an th' Lord help me if Oi want anny memo- real arch erected f'r me in Oberlin or annywhere ilse, so Oi left. MCGILL, '07 PETITION From ilzc Germania of M orifice.

But, jokes aside, it is my mind that, in order not to do violence to my generally-well-under- stood, nature, there is only one act for me now. fHe acts.1 Spectati: Behold, how llusbee permeates the enclosure and detracts from the stately one her very white secretion! Ho-w bold! How laughable! Come lct us rarara together. ' They rarara.

Oh, lead me to Clod ! Busbee: Cheer up, old girl. Your milk is fine. Allow me to effect a stunning disclosure. I am not a Freshi. ' But when they do come they will treat you right. They will ecstatically imbibe your milk. In gratitude they will lead you in golden chains back to your redolent Caalf and to your yearning strong-tongued valet. I go. So to vales bene est. E.

' Atanyrate, however, then, here, the Freshi will soon arrive, and they will rejoice in me and milk me and lead me to Clod and Caalf. Shall I tell you how I know it? ccay-Lur said so. I-Iis Minions said so. Even Busbee said so. It must be so. But something speafks to me that the Freshi are about to take charge of the scene. Therefore, now Joy! Peace! Felicity!

Would that to us there were an inexpressibly wild, thunderous, imprecatorv vocabulary. Oh, Heavens! ' How shall we slay that baleful beast? Let us demonstrate the Anvil Chorus upon her! Shall we not sacrifice her with implements rough-ground? Certainly. Uh, huh, we will strangle her resonant, dew-lappy throat with these wire snares! Anything ! Cow: Now is destruction well-nigh scheduled-sure. Woulcl that my soul, if I have any, were threading the mysterious ranges of the beyond! ' That last pointed toe got me an awful quiver! - I can hardly refrain from self-pity. All innocently am I done to death. Really, Freshi, I protest.

We found out that his parents-very good people indeed and as unimaginative as might well be--had grown hope- less over his non-conformities, and had sent him olif to Oberlin to be shaped. If you had .known Frederick Lane Cooper, you would realize how his obstinacy bristled in the face of this deliberate taunt, and then, too, he was temperamentally unfit for the self-denying Oberlin life of the fifties-bubbling, whimsical son of the ilesh that he was. I always think of Fred in his attitude toward the place, as I saw him first, standingback to a maple in the campus, hands deep in pockets, big soft hat pulled viciously down against the rain, and gazing helplessly, quizzically at the infiexible lines of Tappan Hall with its fifty-one blank windows in its Hat brick face. So it was that he looked at the plainness and stern devotion and the multiplex oddities of the life in which he had been placed, it perplexed him and amused him, and athwart its demure gray, he stood out, laughter-loving'and defiant, like an irreverent scarlet patch. 268 I-Iis irreverence-that was what set the sober-minded faculty shaking their heads over his escapadesg that, they said, would inevitably introduce the unde- sirable element -for how were they to deal with a boy who grinned amiably at injections of moral philosophy? Who with sweet-tempered stubbornness refused to give testimony at neighborhood prayer-meetings? in whom the thunders of Finney stirred only an admiring chuckle? President Finney openly prayed for the boy in church, faculty meetings debated on his misdeeds, conferred with him, argued, stormed, pleadg and the procedure interested him mightily, as his vivid descriptions of the scenes before convulsed select audiences in Tappon Hall bore witness. But he would close his presentations by saying nonchalantlyz 1 They are a good lot-that faculty-I like 'emf' It was true: in the midst of the veritable pyrotechnics that he fired upon the startled air of Oberlin with its quiet and attenuated fun-making, he honestly admired the powerful individuality of these men who were weatherbeaten by the rigours of early Oberlin. Particularly he delighted in his arch-enemy Finney, for the tense, dramatic, keen-minded strength of the 1112111 struck a sympathetic chord in the heart of the boy, and in that final escapade of his, hisllirst thought was of genuine repentance at having bothered old Finneyu again. Honest-I don't know why I did it, he said ruefully, as he sat .twirling the end of a very dirty sheet that Monday night in our room at Tappan, but there was the curtain way up, and the folks all kneeling round at prayer meeting-and before I knew it I had this sheet on and was floating up and down in front of that window. Goodness, his face wrinkled into a grin, it made me shiver to hear myself moaning and sobbing. Poor folks. I guess prayers and things had got on their nerves, they certainly cut up! Gee ! I'ictures were evidently crowd- ing upon his mind. But I guess I'm in for it. John Morgan got me. The dignity of many a worthy spirit had suffered sorely, and we all felt, when poor Fred loped off across the campus the next afternoon to meet the faculty committeein the President's house, that some definite vengeance was likely to fall. There in the unado1'ned, awesome study fiery-eyed President Finney, Pro- fessor Morgan and gruff Doctor Dascomb sat with Fred and argued the case with no sparing of his feelings. VVe have had enough of this thing-this disregard of Oberlinis spirit and tradition, Doctor Dascomb said with an air of finality. It is the Devil's own handiwork and Frederick Cooper is his manservant. I For an interminable minute the three were silent in sombre perplexity, and Fred wriggled in the nerve-racking stillness. Then startlingly came three loud and deliberate taps of a cane upon the door and saintly old Deacon Pease marched slowly into the room. At my house, he began without waiting for welcome, there is, sir, a young colored female with her infant. I-Ier pursuers are not far behind. 269 In a Hash President Finney was on his knees, pouring fervent, imperative- supplications into the ear of the Lord, while the three old men, kneeling there in perfect self-forgetfulness prayed with him and murmured earnest Amens. Fred was moved, but in unconquerable perversity he thrust his hands into his pockets and slumped far down in his chair. Humph, he was thinking, I guess the Lord wouldn't do much for poor slave-girls if Finney Wasn't jacking Him up all the time. VVhen the good man had risen from his knees, he shot at Fred: We will attend to you later, sir. The Lord has far better business on foot for us this day. As the news spread that a slave-woman was in hiding at Deacon Pease's place, the Lord's business sent a tingle of excitement through campus and vil- lage, and when at ten o'clock that night, the slave-catcher, tired and mudt-spat- tered, rode into the town with his twenty men, he found all Oberlin hot to meet him. A crowd of students and townspeople hemmed in the darkness of South Main street, a tiptoe for any chance to shield the one helpless black woman from the oncoming of her pursuers. Fred Cooper was wordless with enthusiasm. Oh Lord, oh Lord, those rascals are going straight to Pease's house-why ca1z't we get 'em away, he was thinking, tense in his eagerness for action, when little Seth Branson clutched his arm in the shifting throng and began babbling nerv- ously: Oh, it's terrible, terrible-this slavery. l'm sure we ought a-all to give our l-lives- ln an instant Fred had chilled. Better save your good white skin and send her back to the fellow that paid his honest money for her. Hc'd teach her better than to run off again, he drawled with a yawn, and left poor Seth stock still in horror. :iq sw wk vk She's not in this house, damn her-but she's on this place or Williams is a blamed liar, for she can't have got away past those guards. Hubert Morris, slave-catcher by trade, was tired Zllltl exasperated by a fruitless hour's swift search through Deacon Pease's well-ordered house. From the moment he had reached Oberlin these abolition scallawags had systematically hindered every movement, and his temper had suffered. Swearing tensely in his perplexity he paused on the steps with two of his men, sharp-framed in the light that streamed from the hall. Deacon Pease and good Mrs. Pease in her night-cap, with faces of hopeless unintelligence stood meekly behind them. Below, the yard was alive with the quick movement of many men, confused shadows in the broken light and darkness, while here and there the big black shape of a horse and the gleam of a lantern marked one 'of Morris's guards. Suddenly, swift and direct in the shifting mass, a tall, strong figure beat its way through the crowd, and glided, 2T0 now lost, now distinct, toward the fence where the waiting horses were tied. Morris's mind leaped, he slipped quickly down into the tangle, and wriggled silently, unnoticed toward the fence. A woman was giving one last wild fumble at the hitching strapg as Morris drew near, she mounted with a powerful leap, frantically jerking the horse round on his haunches. Morris, half crouching, swung his lantern highg her shawl fell back, and the light fell quick upon an agonized black face and the close-wrapped form of a child against a splendid shoulder. It was half a tense second and the reins lashed down upon the horse's neck. Follow me, Morris yelled, pulling another ho1'se free from the fence. Damn you all-c0111.c'! She's got away--carrie! Fast they splashed down through the mud of Main street--Morris and the fleeing slave, and behind them the others, nghting the crowd, galloped in strag- gling line. It was hideously darkg Morris swore'at the heavy trees that black- ened the blacknessg and at the woman riding furiously ahead of him. She turned into a muddier, darl-:cr cross-street, where he followed only the heavy, steady sound of hoof-beats. So they dashed out of the village into' the deep- rutted country road narrow between the bushes: the one woman, black, swift, leading the black mass that thudded along under the motionless sky-a great dark cup dropped over them all. The mud grew heavier and the horse ahead was tiring, then with a soft squlclz of the mud he stumbled, fell. The woman, sobbing sharply, pulled free and ran for the Fields. Over fences and ditches in long liight she rushed the rolling, scrambling, confused pursuers. Morris, close upon her at last, went down head- long in a ditch: and then, with safety in her very hands, the woman, broken in spirit, turned at bay upon her foes. Tall, towering magnificently in the darkness, she stood crying with the faintest negro accent: I cain't go no further--I cain't. Morris awkwardly struggled to his feet, and for a full minute stared speech- less at the black shadow before him. - Lord, you've got some good fight in you, he said admiringly. Outside of business he was human enough in his burly way. He shook his head and chuckled as handcuffs clinked and he plowed with the scattering men slowly back through the fields. Did you know every fence in the country, you jade. Morris' jerked a huge rent in his coat as they passed the hfth. llut the woman, turning her head with a sob, gathered her baby closer in the silence of defeat. ' 'PH Morning was half breaking when the men threw themselves wearily upon their horses and faced toward Elyria. Morris helped the woman to his own horse with grimly admiring gallantry 5 his rough strength liked her boldness, and besides, the dull morning gray showed her very beautifu1-great-eyed, bronze- 271 skinned. He snapped the handcuff again and rode close at her side, the tired horses lagged and the woman droopcd in the saddle. I huhd the men calling you Morris, she said suddenly in a deep voice. Hubert Morris? Yo' certainly are good to me now. I huhd old mahstah speak of you--'a very Fine gentleman'-he use' to say. Morris thrilled, he loved to hear the word gentleman. You were a fool to run away, he ventured. ' She shook her head with a shudder so intense in significance that even the heart of a slave-catcher was faintly touched. He cast about for something appro- priately sympathetic. What kind of a baby, he asked awkwardly at last. It's a girl-I couldn't have her grow up to what I've had. Wlieii I grew up han'some, 0lC'1'll3.llSt2ll1,S son began to look at me-and ole mahstah sold me away from all ma folks. And then I married-and mahstah sold ma husban'- She spoke quietly, with splendid control of her grief, and yet in her tired strength, she seemed to lean toward Morris for protection, for rest. He touched her manacled left hand, she bent wearily and her head dropped upon his shoulder. Presently she looked up into his face, and on her lips hovered a pathetic smile: Hubert-dear, she whispered, then throwing back the shawl with a shriek of irrepressible laughter, Oh, you sublime idiot! My poor little girl baby-oh, my b-blessed lambf' came gurgling from ecstatic caresses of a hard little Tappan Hall pillow. Lord, Lord, but you all were funny-and those fences-oh man, I wish you could enjoy it, too. Oh, my blessed baby. Morris had halted, and sat stupidly uncomprehending, dazed beyond words. Fred rambled on amiably: I think I'll jog on with you to Elyria, nowg I like to talk to you very well. H-Hubert,-and then .l'll just unhitch this darn skirt and wash some, and you can explain to the rest how baby and I arenit just r-right. I suppose, sadly, that you wouldn't care to tell it all out in court-my aiding and abetting the poor real lady who is far, far away by now, dear Hubert. Oh- that was the fun of my life-oh my, oh my blessed baby. Morris looked helplessly at the irregular squad of men riding loosely just ahead. I'm beat, he said weakly. Oh, it was too bad you missed it all, little Seth Branson told Fred, as they were going down to supper at Colonial I-Iall. It was real exciting when all the slave-catchers went oil? after what they thought was the slave, and we all knew that the real one was in the barn-so-so we got her away. But who ever led them off was quite a hero. Didn't whoever did it deceive those slave-catchers? and if he deceived 'em, he lied, and if he lied he'll go to perdition, Fred said blandlyg but little Seth's mind was distracted, for there by the chapel door, erect and terrible in their path, Q72 stood President Finney. He waited for them motionlessly, like the avenger of the Lord, until they were quite abreast. Then, fixing upon poor Fred the keen eyesthat bored into men's souls and knew all things, he spoke: Sir, you, I have reason to believe, are the man whom the slave-catchers followed two nights since. ' I F recl's face grew impenetrable. I told Branson here I thought she ought to be sent back to her master, he said in a level voice. Then Finney Bred. ' Frederick Cooper, how you do lie! That was an act well done, and I am glad to recognize in you, sir, as I shall tell the students in chapel this day, an admirable phase of the Oberlin Spirit. I will also, sir,', with a glare, settle with you tomorrow the matter of discipline lately broken off between us. And he stalked back into the square-built chapel, leaving Fred dumb. The boy saw nothing, heard nothingg his hands dangled helplessly at his sides. An Oberlin spirit, he kept muttering limply. An Oberlin spirit.

V Learning and Labor, Not culture as a means of invidious distinction, but culture that may be of service, that may be operative in the conditions of modern life, This is my understanding of the Oberlin Idea. Pnoiv. A. S. ROOT! To understand this somewhat elusive phraze we must go back to the Original Oberlin Covenant. Two ideas seem to be at the foundation oflghat historic docu- ment. First, that all men ought to have equal opportunity. Second, that the more favored were rnder obligation to do what they could, by self-rlenial and in 'personal service, to help the less favored. Equality and self-sacrifice, then, have been, and, I believe, still a1'e, the essential qualities of the Oberlin lclea, both being interpreted in the light of the truth brought to the world through jesus Christ. This idea is, of co-urse, no exclusive possession of Oberlin. lt is as old as the time of Christ, but it has been uniformly present in the lives of Oberlin's children as to receive the designation The Oberlin ldea. Let us hope that the generations of students yet to be will live up to it as nobly as have their prede- cessors. l'1u2s. H. C. Kino: I ought to say from- thc very start that li do not think the so-called Oberlin Idea is Oberlin's exclusive possession. lt is hardly' more than her interpreta tion of the great common Christian inheritance. a ln my own feeling The Oberlin ldea' may perhaps be said to stand for seven things: First, for belief in individuality: in the comparatiye uniqueness of the contribrtion to be made by each man and institution. ' Second, for belief in the many sidedness of truth. Third, for absolute open-mindedness toward this many sided truth. Fourth, for a thoroughly democratic spirit, to be applied throughout, as against the aristocracy of sex, of color, of wealth, or clique, of mere mental bril- liancy. T- Fifth, for education as looking to the whole man,-physical, intellectual, aesthetic, social, moral, and religious. , Sixth, for the great fundamentals :-for character, for Christ, for the Church. ' Seventh, In all this persons are the great facts, and personal association the pre-eminent means. 275 - The Grave to the Rose Translated frollz flu' lfrczzclz uf Ifirlor lingo.

The Outlook for a gosh K v- i- gif, awful fine Wlinter was never better, and all the Lady lltg Fems were Agog with Expectation and Excitement. - s Every Saturday Tom Gaytcr had his Horn Tooters 4 ' X hx on Talcott Corner making a noise like a Band, while the Basket Shooters were doing their Stunt in the Hi' ,W 'yjgQ.,2zm-6 Gym. There was another Thing which seized the 1 W Attention of the Fems and caused them to talk of XY' i Something other than boarding-house Fare. This was the Skating Contest. It was to be a Rip , .9 G Snorter from Away l-lack and all other Events were 5' 2' ordered to the Siding in order to let it pass. As f . soon as the Date was fixed the Deans went into strenuous Training. They wished conscientiously to guard and watch over the Dearies entrusted to their motherly Care. So they warmed up every Day and hoped by the End of the .Month to be able to do the trick nicely and give Mrs. johnston a race for her Life. They sat up late at night ' ' ' ' l f 'ltl'eeJ scribblmg Regrets to Oberlin s fashionable Dinncis in order that tiey nngi t 1 in Training and be present at the Contest. You see, they wanted to be sure that Everything was carried out according to Oberlin Traditions and the Usages' of Good Society. ln the Mean Time the Oil King's Skating Floor was filled daily by Doctor I'lanna's Proteges who were out for lllood and were ready to meet any and all Comers and show them how to turn a Corner like a VVringer or do the Grapevine Contortion Twist. A few Maids of less Renown hoped for much envied Class Numerals, but every Time they Struck Out they did the Chicken Flop Dip or seemed to be going on Casters. This would never do, so they all turned over several new Leaves and began to pay out a Quarter every Hour for being allowed to hang on some l7ellow's Arm like the lvy on the Con. One day Talcott Tree looked like a Honolulu Sunset because of the flaring Posters announcing the coming Doin's. Wiiitei' was coming down the Home Stretch like Tom Keane in the Quarter-mile. The Deans were in the Pink of Condition. While the Proteges and Ivy Clingers had worked like Shoe String Gamblers. All was ready, but the Managcinent had forgotten to give Old Sol 279 a Complimentary Ticket. He tore along the Pike like the Twentieth Century Limited and consequently reached Oberlin several Weeks ahead of Schedule Time. He also showed a discriminating Affection for Coal Oil Iohnnie's Skating Floor and in less Time than it would take Stedman to sell his Camel he had that Ice looking as sorrowful as the Cow did Sunday Morning. The P. T. Girls oiled up their Skates and put them away where Rust might not corrupt. The Deans broke Training immediately and with easy Consciences went to Everything that came along. The Purses of the Ivy Clingers began to grow fat, while the Nice Boys who had pretended that they were the Con. with the Ivy on commenced to eat More at the House and began to look like their dear sweet Selves again.

A WARM BUNCH 280 A Polar Expedition A Typical Freshman Theme Selected by Mr. Huston. Out in the Pacific ocean, somewhere about the I8Otll meridian is the Inter- national date line. Whenever it is crossed at any place the calendar is set one day ahead or one day back according to the direction in which it is crossed. It happened that at the time of the last Polar expedition I was on the report- ing staff of a New York daily, and was detailed for the Arctics with the Peary crew. We reached a spot nearer the pole than any expedition before us had reached, early one morning on a little exploring trip of our own. We had traveled on and went into camp. During our stay there one of my companions and I set out over fields of ice and snow for perhaps three hours, when suddenly, coming to the top of a hill, we saw before us the very object of our expedition, the North Pole. There it stood tall and spectre-like in its covering of snow and ice. It is putting it mildly to say we rejoiced, we stood still for some time, then ran and clasped that icy pole in our arms, then holding hands we just danced round and round it. Then a funny thing happened. The scenery of the surrounding country seemed to be slowly changing. The snow became deeper, the mountains grew larger, and still we danced round and round. When we finally stopped for breath, to our surprise we too had changed. We were to all appearances much younger than when we came to the spot. For a while we were overcome with fear and amazement. Finally my companion thought of the date line. As we were dancing around the pole rapidly and in an easterly direction., every time we crossed this line we went back a whole day in our lives. As we had been doing this for the last fifteen minutes we had probably crossed the line ten or twelve hundred times and were thus about four years back in history. Then a thought occurred to us. If we would but encircle the pole a sufficient 'number of times we might go back and live with the old Romans, or perchance view the crucifixion of Christ, or the landing of Noah's ark, or the sacrifice of Isaac, or the murder of Abel, or the birth of woman, or the primeval chaos, or what not? But wc did not do so. After circling round the pole in the opposite direction a sufficient number of times to bring us back to our own time we set out for the ship and the next 'day sailed for home. 281 Life QBY A PESSIMISTJ lffn Essayl 'Tis the most witching hour of.five P. M. 'Tis Tuesday. The gong! Oh, sound of doom. You are hungry, but even eating has here no charm. They are going down. You must start. Alas, the last couple is formed, and you, the odd one, are left behind. You quicken your steps and reach the last couple. Twining your arm around one in death-like grip, for fear she will escape you, out you go. How you hate yourself! Why couldn't you walk alone? You do not know what you are saying, but talk you must, for just ahead in black array awaits the gaunt- let you must run-the men. Once in the dining-room, you breathe again. You push your partner from you, walk alone. All are seated. Now eat. Ah, gentle reader, no. With trembling hand you take some bread. Oh, fool! Where can you hide it?

Into the parlor after supper, and there again the scramble for a support. You must not stand, walk, sit alone. So it is decreed. You hang upon some luckless one. And now with eager talk and merry laugh you hold her by your side. At last he heaves in sight. Oh, will he never come or will your partner first be taken and you alone be left behind, to read with tear-dimmed eyes the advertisements of the last year's Munsey's. No you are taken. But at seven, with culprit's start, he rushes for his hat and you with matron's eye upon you, go mounting up the stairs. And this is life, and the happiest days of life are said to be these.

After this burst of energy, the town subsided decently, and the papers had nothing to record except Mending Bees, Business College ball games, and the weddings of those wise pairs who had 'carried till the empty days of August in order to do it unobtrusively.

The Summer School showed its enterprise by casually throwing off a fine Course of Lectures by various members of its faculty. Then it closed and Kit Carson passed in Psychology. ' A little lazy excitement over oil discoveries near Oberlin, and an attempt on the part of the papers to make themselves or anyone else believe that an electric railway to Lorain was really going to happen drifted the weeks along for a month.
