President King, in the Spring of 1905, called thc attention of his class in Senior Bible to this fact and suggested the organiza- tion of a representative body ot' students to aid the Faculty. That class appointed a committee and invited the other classes, the Conservatory and the Seminary to appoint similar eonimittot-5 to consult-r such a plan. This joint committee corresponded with other institutions where similar plans had been adopted or considered and after due deliberation reported in favor of a Student Senate. Their report, presented June 1, 1905, provided that the presidents of the four college classes should beducmbers e.r ollirio and that two other members from the Senior class and one each from the ,lunier class, the Seminary and the Conservatory should be elected. The first Senators were then chosen, but owing to the short: period remaining in the college year never held a meeting. The next Fall, Senators were again elected hut did not mcet because, there being no constitution, they were uncertain as to their duties. The president ot' the Senate, therefore, appointed a committee to prepare a constitution. This was presented to the Iiaeulty in January, 1906, but was not approved because it gave to the Senate the power to enact and enforce all rules of discipline for the students, besides making it an advisory body. The matter was then referred back to thc committee and a new plan providing a Senate consisting of twenty-one membtrs, twelve of whom are elective, and the others, members by virtue of their otlieial connection with the various student interests, the body to be purely advisory, was presented, approved by the Faculty and adopted hy the student body on October 13, 1906. Senators were promptly eleetecl and tlherlin's first Student Senate was organized. This body has met regularly during the year and its services have been valuable in an advisory way. It has earned the respect of both Faculty and students and is an important factor in causing a better understanding between the Faculty and student body. The Student Senate is a step forward in the progress of Oberlin College. 27 Ili-0-Ili, '08 .-Xnty Slnu-y tirucu McCmnmuulu-y Null lflmsi- l.f1x'Cl'IlU Lzun- Ruth Bloxrey lfrnncvs Womlsidv Ruth Bullock Minnie l'rossvr Mzxnzzuret Allen lflvnriettn Smith limily Ainswortlm. l'n'.v. Qfollege IDoman's Boar The real reason for founding the College VVoman's lloard last winter was the desire to secure closer co-operation between the lfaculty and the girls of the College. The members of the board are chosen by the dillferent classes and in- clude the vice-president. The :Lim is to get as representative Z1 body as possible. Naturally the board is primarily interested in the student body and is anxious to do everything possible to advance its welfare-especially in creating' a better stu- dent sentiment. This, it is felt, must precede any further attempt at either student or co-operative government. 28. .lruluul Ilu' Vumpux Sf X QA , r X f 4 J is x 29 n 1 Ili-O-Ili, '08 C Senior Class Officers ARTHUR L.

It was early in her Frcslnnan year that Mabel discovered that her heart was gone. Through the study of physiology, however, she learned that there are hearts of more than one kind. In the one she had left she found room for a great man friends. Mabel is naturally so mod: est that you would never guess, un- less you knew her, that she is really a shark. She can straighten out any knotty point in philosophy as easily as she can fall asleep. This is a high Geer with big wheels and small teeth. He hits up a terrific pace on the klavier and hddle. I-Ie performs spiral chro- matics that mi ht pass muster even with Russell Cgonwell. This is his last appearance in Oberlin, as the Conservatory faculty will open the cage-floor this June. Dot is like the little, busy, buzzing hee. She is always rushing, talk- ing, doing. She knows how to act, loves to manage things, can play basket ball, and holds the record for talking in any place she has ever been.

She has taken French for four years and sometimes when she is talking Eng- lish a French word will slip out. Once she said- Uh, 1 suppose I'll study and study, until 'mort' gets me.'

MC-MV-TTI! 71 Hi-O-Ili, '08 Che Cale of the Raven Cole Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered lone and weary Over many a quaint and curious volume of Reviews of yore, As 1 sat there almost napping, At my brain there came a tapping, tapping, As of something gently rapping, rapping at my poor, bewearicd brain so sore, I looked up and there before me, Perched upon an '03 banner, Sat a raven, with a well-worn parchment roll, And 'OS was on the scroll. As he slowly 'forei my wild-eyed wondering glances, Let that parchment history unroll, I exclaimed, in joyous accents, prouder far than e'er before, 'Tis a glorious class, is 'OSP' Qnoth the raven- 'Evermore !' And I'll show you, friend, its history, And unfold its tale of mystery If you'Il only watch the parclnnent, as it slowly doth unroll. Then I read that opening story-how coming helter-skelter, Nigh two hundred wary youngsters sought for shelter 'Neath a friendly, well-roofed Shed. But alas! that head-. Here a blot did mar the scroll. They had a long discussion with hazing as its theme, And the record of those meetings would have taken nigh a ream. To scrap, or not to scrap-that was the question: Whether 'twas nobler for the class to stiffer The slings and gauntlets of outrageous Sophomores, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles. And by opposing, end them? To scrap,-to W.ll1-- . To win! perchance be fired: aye, there's the rub For who would hear the whips and scorns of upper-classmen But that the dread of something after scraps, That undiscovered country, from whose bourn No, traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? And so they promised Prexy they would scrap no more. ' And did they keep their promise ? Quoth the raven- Evermore! Theglg had a party on an eve in bleak Novem- er, That the world will long remember. For while with lights turned low, in dim, romantic splendor, The Freshmen listened to the toast-master soar, From afar they heard some class a-singing, As the light bells were ringing, CSong of '07.j There were we a-waitin' at our perch, There were we a-waitin' in the lurch: I-lere's the note from Leslie:- 'Can'tfget away to lead the toasts today, '08 won't let me. ' Quoth the raven- Ncvermorel Then followed close a wondrous tale, Fit to turn the listener pale, As he thought that o'er those Freshmen, Sophomore rules would sure prevail. And again the scroll was spotted: And again the name was blotted ----did roar! But did the rules avail? I questioned, Quoth the raven- Nevcrmorel In red ink was the next page, For it told the monstrous story Of the night that made the damiels rage, And caused the Deans much worry. Yet all I could decipher Was the fragment of a song: CSong of Lassiesj If some lassies, meet some lassies, On Prospect Streetg If some lassies haze some lassies, Isn't it quite meet ? Quoth the Deans-likewise the raven- Nevermo:'e ! The raven his wings Huttered, Some incoherent words he muttered. The parchment showed a different scroll of lore. Are they Freshmen still, I questioned. Quoth the raven-t'Nevermore! 'Twas on a peaceful Sabbath morning ln quiet Oberlin, That good folks at their matins Did hear a wondrous din.: For out upon the campus Something did 'low and 'lowz And when the searchers found it- It was the Freshman cow! .flround Ure Campus LIL..-...' ' ..l, , , . .,-.- -., eYnW,,..,.-,, . ..7,, , 7 , And there that story ended, and as I anx- iously implore If it will be remembered:- Quoth the raven- livermore! There was an indoor track meet, Where some Freshmen met defeat, And '08 was the victor--as was meet. 'Twas the first one in O's history! This was written o'er and o'er. And of course 'twill be rememb.-re:l: Qnoth the raven- Evern1ore! Again the parchment flattered, And showed a record cluttered IfVith deeds more glorious than before, As I questioned, Are they Sophomores? Qnoth the raven- Nevern1ore! -it First was the record of sweetness, Of fudge concocted with neatness By the men of '08, Which the young ladies ate. And that was the end of the sweetness. Then came a glorious record of another new invention By this class of good intention! There were knights, and there were ladies, Burning pestles, likewise arrows: XVhen they contemplate the Play And the successful way .lt was greeted by the audience seated There before. ,Tis a plan will be repeated? l cntreated. Qnoth the raven- livermore ! But the time was quickly tleeting: The dawn the night was eheatingg And the ravenis time for meeting Wfas almost o'er. Swift he turned the parchment roll. And I caught a glimpse of songs and rec- ords,- Of a course passed up by all. tSong of Juniorsj Psychol! Psychol! hop on my pony, There's room here for two, dear, And after examination VVe'll show 'em a slate clear. While cheering for old Psychology. In a section headed Athletics I saw O men by the score. And I saw a football record That ne'er was equalled before: A team that always conqueredg And a goal line two years uncrossed. And I said 'Tis a wonderful record VVhose glory will never be lost. Qnoth the raven- Nevermore! And a bright page was given To the girls who have striven, And kept the R. B. Championship Longer than 'twas ever kept before. Two Years! Three Cheers! For the Girls! Qnoth the raven- Evermore! ln sadness then l ponder as the parchment turns o'er yonder, And I viewed the grievous blot there Craven by the hand of Fate. And we mourn for those departed VVho have kept us heavy hearted: But rejoice that we loved them not too late. And their faces welll remember, And their winning grace so tender, livermore, Ilvermore. tChorns: Everybody sings.D She's a grand old classg she's a conquering class: And forever in triumph she'll stand. She's the llnest of the school I love, The home of the learned and the grand.

FITCH Hi-O-Ili, '08 Sophomore Ciomposition Section ll Resolved: That no sliekcr class has en- tered college. We know tl1at history is being made all the timeg but sometimes this truth is brought home with startling emphasis. For when we consider the class of '09, we realize that here is a class that is making history by leaps and hounds. Last year one of our professors conceded that '09 was a pretty slick classg but this 1 alll , . ti 4 P K 'S r , n X f tit, A , Via' ' cv 9 09 year anyone who sees our boys even on an unpropitious rainy day will say that they are a slicker lot. Who will deny that we have the Hrst form of greatness, the nascent? 1909 was born great,-the largest class which had entered Oberlin College: having an average weight of ll5 lbs., it tipped the scales at 23,000 pounds before it was a week old. An attempt to measure the composite skull of 1909 would necessitate a splicing of the English and Metric systems, ln the second place the class has without doubt achieved greatncssg witness the num- ber of members it has furnished to two prominent college clubs, the D. Sz O. and the Radium, Professor Jewitt will tell you that there were over twenty eligible members to the D, Sz O. from his classes alone. And as to the Radium Club, if we do not contribute as many members, they are certainly among the most brilliant. And finally, our class is having, and will have, greatness thrust upon it. Here is our president who is without doubt the best Brand in the market, and our vice-president, who, whatever else she may become, will be Joy forever. And now, will not this slick, slieker- class, which makes the sun to shine as with a borrowed light have greatness thrust upon it in the future? lrouml 1110 Campus 81 K 'mam Class of l9l0 Around the Campus !

Sree-Iqm n fpistorg A Freshman enters college with a long' standing reputation prepared for him. Article 23, of the unwritten constitution of colleges, contains something like this: Sec- tion l. A Freshman shall be a thing infan- tile, presumptuous, and verdant, which sees its own importance magnified about one thousand nine hundred and ten times. Sec- tion 2. It shall be the duty of the Sopho- mores to aid the professors in forcing upon the consciousness of the afore-mentioned lfreshman his true significance. Under such unjust and discouraging con- ditions the class of 1910 entered Oberlin. NVere we not the biggest thing that had ever happened in this institution? Was not our approach long heralded by great rejoic- ing in the office of the secretary? And yet no sooner had we recovered from the effects of joining day, than it was made plain to us, how lightly our worth was regarded. The Sophomores thought best to fulfill their traditional duties by personally instructing the various members of our class. We, in our turn, began to make private appoint- ments for the purpose of remonstrating against the uncalled for indignities. The faculty, however, regarded such methods as an infringement upon their rights and sup- pressed the practice. Discouraged in all their efforts, the Sophomores adopted desperate measures, and opened up the flood gates of ,.. .. . X ft I .,.,. E07 igio the English language upon every body in general, and us in particular. We still tremble at our narrow escape, but the heroic efforts of a few of our bravest averted the catastrophe. We have since rested in com- parative peace, for the remainder of the con- flict has consisted in an exchange of orig- inal stunts which make a great deal of noise but do no damage. ln the midst of our varied activities we have contrived to accomplish much that is noteworthy. From our earliest infancy, when we elected our officers, we have prided our- selves on the excellence of our judgment, and have ever since made use of this rare quality. Everybody with eyes and an appre- ciation of the truly picturesque, arose with one voice in praise of our class distinction. could not restrain Even the Sophomores their enthusiasm. NVith a kindness that does them great credit, they consented to act as our press agents and to allow us Qabsolutely without expenseb, the benefit of their well- known proficiency in the art of sensational advertising. In like manner our football team was a sight to make coaches and athletic directors see visions of glories to come, and cause Olll' opponents most horrible nightmares. VVe were asleep when the dual track-meet struck us, but by tl1e time of the basket b'ill season, things were again coming our way. VVhen time was called the team had placed our class mnnerals in large plain figures upon the championship. In the more serious pursuits of learn- ing too,-but we will say no more, for mod- esty is our strong point. lVe do not look at ourselves through a microscope, but gaily in- spect our image in a large mirror manufac- tured especially for us, and have endeavored to represent- to you what we have seen. llow can we help being pleased with the reflection? Day by day we have watched the youthful tints wear away and the too innocent gaze of our eyes disappear. For we have been learning many things. We now know that when an upper classman, who evi- dently owns quite a considerable part of the town, shows an affectionate interest in our concerns. that it is time to wonder what organization he is drumming for, and how much money he is going to want. We have made the discovery. too. that there are some things that we have yet to learn. So, as we watch the changing color of our complexion, we are hopeful that our green will not turn to yellow and express itself in the oil coats and saffron journalism in the form of mun- erous and varied handbills.

But when we observe that our numbers are as large as ever, that the preparation of students is better than ever, and that our largest class is always the graduating class, we feel encouraged. The endowment of a new chair gives us further grounds for congratulation. With nearly every man of us steadily occupied in some sort of religious work outside the distinctively curriculum activity, we manage to keep out of all but the most innocent mischief. Seriously, therefore, we are well contented with our lot. For the last few months we have been Dean-less. As a result we have inductive evi- dence that a state of decapitation is a consnnunation devoutly to be avoided-even for such an inanimate body as a theological seminary. However, we have endeavored to extend our sentiencc into the Orient in the person of our Dean, and we are preparing to record a host of new Oriental perceptions, when in due time he shall have returned to us. We don't do much in athleticsg but ,we have, as some readers know, our seminary eleven. lt is composed of those fractional parts of ourselves who find it at once their delight and their duty to stop the bowl. The number of these estimable divinities has increased at so alarming a rate of late, that some of our number have protectively organized themselves into a bachelors' club--perchance a somewhat hypocritical mantle of charity, which may cover a multitude of engagements-as well as forlorn hopes. To be sure, our quarters are still somewhat in need of repair. The luxury of a janitor cannot atone for the unsoundness of many of the chapel chairs, or the cracks in the chapel ceiling, or the strident rasp of the old piano. We would enjoy stained glass and big, roomy leather-covered settecs, and such'l-donors, please take notice-however, we are not at present being enervated in the lap of luxury. We believe in plain living and high thinking, and our convictions are given a certain stamina by the flat condition of our typical pocket-book. And then, what do present mundane joys have to offer, when we can delve over the nieeties of Greek and l-lebrew etymology, or with orthodox severity anathematize the heresies of past, present and future schismatics, or go tramping ocross the highways of western Asia with Mcrodach-baladan or Shamash-shum-ukinP And, besides, there is usually that Sunday sermon-it is surprising how often Sunday comes, and how easy it is to pump one's self dry! On the whole, therefore, we have so little time to spend on the frivolities that our grim Council Hall, idealized as it is by reason of those who haunt its lecture-rooms, connnands a homely, but sincere affection. No word concerning the Seminary in the year 1905-7 would be complete without men- tion of the effect of the Carnegie Foundation on the Seminary. At the close of the year Prof. G. F. Wright and Prof. Currier retired from their long service. Both, however, look forward to continued activity. lt is with pleasure that we are able to realize that the need for such a chair as Prof. Wright has filled with such credit and hdelity no longer exists. The kindly, but virile critic of so many preaching exercises, and our famous traveler-journalist have both served us for a long term of years. That generous provision has been made for them is a source of pleasure to us all. , Three short winters, much pleasure, deepening friendships, tumult, and at the end a new grip on things-this is what we have in connection with it all.

What? Yes l Who says so? Everybody-excepting the Oberlin High School. If the Academy were situated apart from the College there would be no question as to its rank. But located as it is, in the shadow of a larger institution, its merits are not always recognized. College interests naturally come first, and the younger child is not pampered with over-attention. XVhat makes it the institution that it is? lts instructors, its students and its spirit. Notice, we refrain from men- tioning its buildings. lts instructors are commissioned and marshaled by that grand old man of international renown-john Fisher Peck. Twenty-one in number, they have led many a reeking charge through Greek verbs, countless themes and over Ponies A.s'1'1101'1111z. ' Wfhat of its students? Three hundred and forty-four in number, they con- stitute a conglomerate mass that delies analysis. Coeducation, cooperation-and a few weird quartets. The latter can be overlooked, however, for all possess a genuine loyalty to the VVhite and Blue. Instructors, students, spirit, and the greatest of these is spirit. It unifies the other elements and completes the organization. W'hat is more, the spirit is growing. VVith its own Athletic Association and teainsg its Literary Societies and Debaters, well may the Cads shout triumphantly: l-lurrah for the Wfhite and the Blue! U 95 Class of I9l I l'O'!Il '!I S04 Around the Campus Gbout CD11rselves A . You may not know about Us but We know about you. In fact We know very nearly everything. When that junior was trying to persuade us to pay for two pages in the Annual he said XVe were a very important part of the lnsti- tution and We certainly are. We are the Ones who wore those crimson and white arm bands which caused so much excitement awhile ago. A couple of College Seniors one day were heard to exclaim indignantly, What right have they to wear our numerals! The idea! '07 right on their sleeves! It's out- rageous! Poor, dear College Seniors! They were actually jealous, you see. Nor is it strange, for Ours is a most remarkable class. You should see Us all together. 'We shan't mention it, of course, but Our Photograph doesn't do Us justice. And then, too, Our grades are something to wonder at. ljrofessor Peck said, the other day, that they were creditable, very creditable, and when He says anything so strong as that you know he's talking about something un- usual. NVhy, there are two boys in Our Class fone of whom has been here two years and the other fourj who have general averages of 4.9 and 4.7, and Our Girls have a splendid record, especially the Vice-President randi.the,Secretary. lVe showed wisdom in electing officers. President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, Ours are the best to be found anywhere. Nor is it only in wisdom that VVe have achieved greatness. Our fame in athletics reaches far and wide. VV e have a football wonder and a basket ball star who would be ornaments to any class. The Basket Ball Boy is mighty popular, a kind of human magnet- seems to attract everyone, and the Golden Haired Football Expert is 'just a natural social leader. We have athletic girls who have upheld Our Honor in lflasket Ball this year and we are proud of them. They have done well for the Senior Class. j And surely you know of our wonderful literary ability. VVe hesitate to call your attention, Ourselves, but as it's part of your education and as We hate to have you ignorant NVe shall merely mention the fact that Our Class has some of the best literary ability in this entire Institution. Can't you see in Our Photograph the high brow and steadfast eye of youthful genius? ' V We have line looking people in Our Class. There is that queenly girl, so quiet and dignified, and the one who is just like a ray of sunshine among Us. VVe have that graceful hero of the expressive eye-glass and intellectual nose, and the other dark youth with a reputation for learning who although seldom seen is worth OlJSCl'Vlll, '. These people alone might make Us vain, but when We remember the others of the Class We wonder how we have escaped being actually conceited. From the tall, lanky westerner, the authority on everything from baseball to millinery down to Our steady student and mighty fine kid, We are all remarkable. Especially those boys 'md girls who have given to the Class its real strength. We shan't praise them for that is against Our principles and might embarrass them, but all the rest of Us together can't equal that little group of five or six. If We believed in telling people about Ourselves We might continue indefinitely, but being a very modest Class We prefer that others should speak for Us and so We absolutely refuse to say anything more excepting that of all the classes which have ever been grad- uated in the past or which ever will be graduated in the future, if there is any particular one worthy of respect and admiration ' WE ARE IT. 97 Class of l9l2 80: 'HI'O'1II Arozmtl the Campus fpisforg of1912 After two years of apparent obscurity the class of 1912 has at last come to light. For two years we have turned the pages of our Annuals, looking for a sign of our existence, looking for a mention of the Brown and White, only to close them with a feeling of isolation. It was a small crowd of Juniors that were arrayed in the Chapel seats at the beginning of our first year and as we gazed around us with awe we wondered if we would ever fill the seats of the mighty Seniors. The first year past, the feel- ing of isolation had not yet passed away. As we moved along toward the far- away goal, we heard a low cry dying away in the distance, crying, first down, seven more years to gain. The following year our courage increased with our numbers and we now felt the need of becoming better acquainted. Our first social event, a party in the Kindergarten rooms, proved a success. Who can forget the announcement that put the Junior Middles in the light: All Junior llzliddles who have not D ffl their class dues will meet the class treasurer after chapel. The second year pas, cd, and with it many events which we will always remember. NVe have moved again, but we do not listen for the faraway cry of a year before for we feel that the battle is to be won and that we will reach the high place that a little while before seemed out of reach. As Middles we stand first in number of any previous class and second to any college class. XVe began this year with a rush. The first Monday after school we gathered one hundred and ten strong in room 13 to study Bible under -Iackf, Too much praise cannot be given M r. W irkler in his attempts to keep us Wright We very seldom begin class at the ring of the Bell, and the room becomes Fuller until the end of the hour. After our first class we elected the customary officers, planning for our first social event at the same time. A party was arranged in Sturges Hall. The VVeatherwaxed fair, and as we started toward the Hall the moon Rose in the East. XV,e all had a good time, many Peals of laughter issued forth as we Chased time before us. 'We were a little late in leaving Sturges and much Solether was worn out by the Younger people in getting home. But we have also been recognized in Athletics, and we feel proud of the records made by thc men, both on the class and regular teams. Next year, with the football team ruled by a Queen, the basket ball team guided by a Shad, the class of 1912 will leave behind memories of a year full of records that will always be remembered. 99 Ili-O-Ili, 'os I-as Instructor Eva May Oakes Co the Grtist I dreamed a dream of a palace fair W'here scented fountains filled the air lVith a delicate, sweet perfume. lirom the sloping lawn the mighty trees Unfolded high in the evening breeze Their murmuring leafy plume.

Of course they are better now than they were from '78 to '82, as everything in Oberlin has improved, but I count my four years as a member of Phi Kappa Pi during that period, has of surpassing value to me, not only in the discipline of the forty-eight set orations, essays, critiques and debates to which 1 was assigned, but in the comradeship with strong, rugged 111011 of the eight college classes from '78 to '85, who were its members. l have never worked harder, or ex- perienced any kecner intellectual thrill than on the tloor of old Society I-lall, as we struggled over the mighty questions that engage serious men. We never yawned in those old days and we never flunked and no man dared to be vulgar. Every man was at his best. For we had there some mighty men, and contact with such men was good, even though they pillorized you in the critique, and chastiscd you in debate, and made your maiden effort at presiding look like the House of Representatives with Tom Reed Iilibustering in opposition. Then when we repaired to Munsen's and fought it all out again, over his incomparable oyster stews, we were being unconsciously fashioned for future and more serious service. There was plenty of fun too, as when a crude member in defending a historic person accused of anarchy, cried out- Is this aruica? or when a member now presiding over a Massachusetts church, described Major Andre as passing through the American lines in the garb of midnight and was in- terrupted and indignantly asked if the gentleman dared to claim that Major Andre was dis- guised in a nightshirt ? , . There was tremendous society spirit too, and the annual meetings of the U. L. A. for the election of olhcers, or the meeting of the Oratorical Association for the election of orators for the contests, were as exciting as a National Convention, for every society was bound to elect its man. I am for the Oberlin type of literary society which gives every man an open and therefore a square deal and has no closed doors and secret tlummery and puerile initiation ritcsg a society that honors a man's ability rather than his pedigree, and taxes a man's brains rather than his lean pocket-book, and levies upon him for good humor and horse sense and the grit that knows how to take as well as to give strong, honest blows. I hope the faculties of the societies may be kept up to their best estate and when the new Men's Building gets itself planted on the campus, I would like to see in it a suitable home for The Literary Societies.

Do you wonder at the Rev1ew's remark? Do you wonder that it has grown to be an axiom in Oberlin that the history of Phi Delta for this school year has been a history of achievement ? what 3 .Derioeb from phi Delta-Stocking Back 55 years From 1867 to 1371 Phi Delta was made up of strong men. They stood well in college and thought for themselves. In the highest and best sense of the term, they were self-made men, To meet with and measure swords with such men in debate and oratory, and prepare and deliver a production that would meet their approval, was a preparation for a future career. The impromptu debate gives one an experience in prompt thought and ready answer, The knowledge acquired of parliamentary rules. and the discipline in presiding over a body of strong students, gave a familiarity with such proceedings that qualilies one for many positions he is called to till in after years. lt aids the mind in giving at fthe moment a quick and accurate decision on the point raised. It inspires one with the importance of being fair judicious. just and equitable, and treating every one and both sides with equality. In meeting equals, the mind is quickened and sharpened and it prepares each to be ready to meet foe or friend in debate. ' There is a lesson' that cannot be too early learned, that of respecting the opinions of others. This does not mean you must agree with them. A respectful consideration of your opponent gains the approval of your hearers. and the esteem of your competitor. If two men differ and you want to get them together, give them to understand that you believe they are both honest in their views, otherwise you drive them farther apart. The new society hall was built. It was fitted up, furnished, and equipped by the two societies. This expense was paid by the members, a sacrifice worthy a manly man. The writer has profited by these and more. DAVID J. NYE, '71 107 Lindley Heald Chamberlain Lester Frost Lupton Ewalt McConnaugl1ey Houser Caldwell Rogers Peal xYl0I1lllflll Sanborn Heald. P.

The story of 'The Transplai1ting'Ssuited me.l That girl knows how to write and read a story. Addresses I hear, tie pirit musec, have taken the place of the oration. In my day the oration was important, but the address is only a little broader in theme. Women need this. for it gives an excellent chance for the members to learn to speak and to appear in public and cultivate a graceful carriage. That one on 'The New-old Gospel' was very good. The writer spoke with force and I could hear her distinctly. If women would only learn to speak in full, deep tones so they can be heard! t'It pleases me to hear these girls respond to toasts. That is part of their training for life.

Miss Emily Ainsworth moves that the faculty be re- quested to substitute green caps for their present distinction, the green bag.

Mr. Eckert immediately mcvedi adjournment, and the society adjourned. what 3 Derioeb from Glphtx gyeta-'looking Back 50 years What a Hood of memories of happy old Oberlin days these words and dates bring back, of schoolmates and frolics, of tutor and classroom, of the charm of the campus, radiant in its autumn leaves, of victories in athletics, and, alas! defeats: of momentous questions, past, present and future, discussed and decided for all generations by the Alpha Zctatian Parliament. The statement was often made that the rap of the gavcl in any regular meeting of Alpha Zeta had never failed to call the meeting to order within a fraction of a minute of the schedule time. That there never had been a failure in any part of a program of the Society since its orgauizationg and certain it is that during the four years' membership of the writer, exact punctuality was the rule without exception and no member ever failed to perform that part of the program assigned to him. Every production was subject to merciless criticism the following week, and only by most excellent work could a member hope to win approval. All meetings were held under the strictest parliamentary rules and many a long argument was required to settle the 'tpoint or order in question. The thumb-worn appearance of Roberts' Rules of Order' and Spaulding's liasehall Guide were in striking contrast to the neat and clean appearance of the lexicons and Olne 's works. . .ytlplia Zeta programs were always strictly literary and never made attractive hy social or fcstal features. Her memberships were sought fer no other purpose than the training she offered in I'arliamentary law, debate and orator '. A partyof the subject assigned was what' good were thc literary. societies of 25 icars ago to a man in practical life, and what has already been written answers the question, for auf' wor that is successful in exacting strict punctuality and unfailing devotion to duties. assigned is forming iabits and building character that are of vast importance in winning success in the business and commercial world. . I The point of order debates have developed many well-trainedgparhamentarians and presiding ofticers. The forensic training afforded in these meetings measures the di crence between success and failure for multitudes of lawyers and ublic speakers. The writer would not Lijeny that the education at Oberlin is largely secured in the class-room and from the college faculty, but only a little less important is the education and training secured from the Oberlin Literary Societies I.

' y Three of her strongest debaters, Bucher, Solether, and Alment, of whose records Acme shall ever be proud, stepped into College society work, and taking i11to consideration those who did not return to the Academy and those who grad- uated last June, only five men remained to organize, to render the first program and to prevent the honored name of Acme from being ground into the dust. But the secret of it allis that the old soldiers were made out of the kind of material that win or die in 'the last ditch, and-? Well, thirteen strong men joined these veterans at the first opportunity and Acme's well oiled wheels of progress moved on unchecked. To crown these supreme efforts, Cadmean, who began the year with fifteen trained warriors, who already had heard the echo of our downfall Q Pj discovered at the time of the supreme test, many of her men had abandoned the field and considered all as hopelessly lost. The few remaining stragglers pleaded for protection beneath the wing of the Invincibles.,l In the Union Annual we have seen ouryorator sway multitudes with his eloquence and sweep on to victory. We have seen the voice of, our essayist crying in righteous indignation as he wrought vengeance for last year's defeat. We have seen our debaters greater in defeat than their rivals were in victory. And more than this, the cry of congratulations said that the Acme line-up against Rayen High School had not been in vain and that A material reduction of tl1e present Immigration is desirablefl But what we prize above all this and what has been the foundation for past success and shall continue to be the foun- dation for a more successful year is the consistent work done by each man. VV e have men that realize that they get as much out of their work as they put into it. Wfe have men who do not shirk 5 men who do not lagg men who do not let the spring fever drag them from faithful society workg men who are receivinga 'training that will place them in the front ranks among the world's workers. Our stag life is first class, our fellowship is great, our year has been crowned with success and our labor spiced with fun. If you are the kind of Academy fellow that fights to win and not to loseg if you belong to the workers and not to the shirkers, to the hustlers before the fussers 5 if you desire the fullest expression of your powers and the fellow- .ship of a good bunch of men, affiliate yourself with Old Acme. 119 Laura Thayer Millie Parker Emily Devereaux Alice McCrum Mary YanYlcck Virginia Mann Mildred Em: er Maude Peal Belle Scott Jeanne Reed julia McCrnm Susan Gulick Dorothy' Yan.Xllen Anna Trvletliren 'lesbian ' S04 '!'II'0'!'Il .Alrnmul lim Fm'um llnion Qibrarg G55-ociation Olliccrx, 190.5117 I,1cuN. xlm V.

V Skenls , Mr. President, Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen z- The question for discussion this year was, Resolved that a progressive inheritance tax should be levied by the Federal Government. Before proceeding with the discussion of the question we should like to call your attention to the' real issue, namely, that debate interest in Oberlin is growing, any opposition of the Faculty notwithstanding. And right here we would ask the position of the opposition as to the value of debate work. If you favor debate in Oberlin, and it is a good thing, why not allow at least three hours credit gener- ously, if you condemn debate by refusing credit, why permit it at all? ' And why is it that credit and encouragement should be given? Because debate affords practical training that all the dead languages in existence cannot give: because it is neces- sary if Oberlin is to compete with other institutions that give double the credit: because the amount of time called for is greater than any five hour course: because it is a legitimate student interest that helps both students and college: because the Inter-Collegiate debates stimulate both society and inter-society contests. These, Ladies and Gentlemen, are a few of the reasons why debate should be supported generously, Let us analyze the debate interest of the year. Early in December the debate teams were chosen and from the start it was evident that both debates belonged to Oberlin. The spirit of harmony and willingness to co-operate gave inspiration that meant success. Every man was willing to sacrifice personal whims for effective team work. It seems fitting to mention that Brand and Rice realized that alternates can be useful as well as ornamental. But the support from the students this year was genuine. It was support for a losing team as well as a winning one. From the Faculty committee, and especially from Professor Caskey, came ideal support. When the debaters got the grip, he cared for themg when they were hungry, he fed themg when they were sick, he doctored them. Professor Caskey may be quiet and unassuming, but he is the right man in the right place. But why did Oberlin lose to Reserve in Cleveland? Was it the fault of the Oberlin team in preparation or faithful work? No, for faithful and consistent hammering of the question never slackened from October until March. It should be borne in mind that Reserve kept her strongest team to meet Oberlin and that the Oberlin boys were in hostile territory. But what of the home debate? Did it strike the casual observer that debate interest is dying out? The general interest, the attendance, the rooting, the pandemonium that cut loose, and the bon-fire all speak volumes for the real interest in Oberlin debate. And what happened to the exhibition debaters from Ohio Wesleyan and the crowd of rooters that journeyed up state to see Oberlin go down before the pick and flower of the Fultonites?

Advisory Ofiicers Oberlin College is recognized preeminently as a school in which religion plays the most important part in the training of the student, while the importance of academic training, oflphilosophy, science and practical knowledge receive emphasis in a descending scale. Whether or not we accept this not uncommon estimate as the status quo of Oberlin, the fact remains that the practical training and education of the individual receives compara- tively little attention, and especially is this true in the field of civies and political govern- ment. Questions of vital importance regarding muncipal and national issues are constantly arising and demand the attention of the keenest thinkers. Yet the ordinary student who will all too soon be called upon to contribute his share towards maintaining the righteous- ness of government rarely hears such matters discussed within the classroom. To meet this condition there was organized on March 16, an organization to be known as the Civic Club of Oberlin Collegeg the constitution being promptly endorsed at that time by nearly eighty charter members. The primary object of the club is to stimulate a real, live interest in civic matters of current importance and the constitution provides for the careful and exhaustive considera- tion of such problems at each regular meeting of the association. As an incentive to more systematic and painstaking effort the club has affiliated itself with corresponding associations at Western Reserve, Wesleyan and O. S. U. and together these four organizations constitute the Ohio Association of Collegiate Civic Clubs. As often as it is found expedient this association will entertain on consecutive days at its four branches, some eminent leader in civic or political affairs who will publicly discuss some important civic problem of current interest and afterwards will meet only the club members at an informal reception. It is anticipated that this personal contact of the student with great men who are accomplishing things in the world will have a potent influence in arousing deep interest in the knotty problems of social and civic reform. If the club accomplishes only a part of the work which has been mapped out, its induence must mark an epoch in the development of college men. Keen interest, thorough knowledge, and honest consideration of the vital questions of the day are the only weapons with which to defend and maintain honest and righteous government, and doubtless a civic club conducted on the indicated plan will prove the brst medium for bringing this knowledge and the average student into the desired relationship. 134 ' H.

NYIK 'Neath the Arch O O 9 0 It is always a more or less sad thing when an individual or organization for any reason is compelled to pull up stakes and leave a pleasant, old, familiar camping ground for a new location. Sometimes it means a step forward, sometimes a step backward, but always it means an untried situation and always it necessitates a readjustment to the new sur- roundings. Perhaps the most significant fact in the history of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion during the last year is its move from the old headquarters in Council Hall to its new home at 20 W. College street. All who are in touch with the situation believe that it is a step forward. The old quarters for a long time have been so cramped, as lamentably to curb the efficiency of the Association. The new quarters, while by no means adequately commodious to meet the demands of the expanding work, yet afford the Association more room and a more centralized point from which to send out its influence into every phase of our college life. Yes, and more than this, to touch the young men of the town and the surrounding country. We hope that the Association may prove but a sojourner in these new quarters, patiently but not idly awaiting the time when it shall be privileged to cross the Jordan Qthe campusj and enter into the promised land Ca new buildingj, here to set up a democratic fraternity that shall bind the men of Oberlin College as brothers in a home of their own. Space will not permit a review of the work for the last year nor an outline of the plans for the coming year. Substantial growth, however, is the constant aim. At no time has it been the object of the leaders of the Association to make the organization a self- centered, localizing, provincializing infiuenee among the men. Breadth of horizon and diversity of interests have been constantly kept in mind. Every man a public-spirited Christian, and every Christian a public-spirited man, has been one of the aims of the Association. Then, too, the Association has felt that no work yields greater harvests than work among the boys. Because of this fact it was willing to assume the added responsibility of the oversight of the work among the boys which the new headquarters impose upon it. The Oberlin Christian Union felt that it could well afford to donate the rent of these new rooms to the Association if it in turn were willing to assume the oversight for the boys' work of the town. The benehts are mutual. 143 Ili-O-Ili, '08 g. IO. C. a. ADVISORY BOARD MRS. HENRY C. ICING MRS. E. A. INIILLER MRS. EDWARD I. BOSWORTI-I MRS. REBECCA A. JOHNSON MRS. HARMONIA W. WOODEORD DR.

CHUTE 'Neath the A-rel: X LL ef' tl s l V X 4: f I li Lf i :rn The Oberlin Young Women's Christian Association is the one student organization where every girl, no matter who she may be, linds a hearty welcome-and something to do. Whatever a girl's tastes, however large or small her capabili- ties, within the tield of the Y. W. C. A. there is work that she can do. For the Association embraces every need that a the field are not girl has, only sometimes the work must stop before is covered, because the workers and the money available to push it on. lf there were the space it would be well worth review our past and see how the work has grown, portion after another brought under control, since the Asso- ciation was started in 1894. Looking at the work now it is very interesting to learn of the very natural hesitation and misgivings with which the Young Ladies' Prayer Meeting, under the leadership of Madame Johnston, was given up and a Christian Association organized with the stipulation Csince the aims and ideals of our sister schools were not the same as Oberlin'sD, that there should be no state or inter-collegiate aliiliations for two years. iVhen we consider the great en- couragement and aid that we receive at all times from the Advisory Board and the other women of the Faculty, it is amusing to look back upon the stormy session of the Women's .Board before which the president, Dean Fitch, and two cabinet members were summoned, when, at the expiration of these two years, we became aliiliated with the State organiza- tion. Hut this is past history and we must be concerned with the present. The closing year has had its share in the ad- vance movement of Association work. It has seen the or- dering and systematizing of affairs under the large and small cabinets, and the adoption of the card catalogue for keeping records. Yet one can not say that our attention has been limited to these mechanical matters. Under the inspir- ing guidance of our General Secretary. Miss Lucy Hopkins, all departments of the work have been carried on with great zeal and encouraging results. Besides the help to the amount of about 31,000 which the Employment department has been able to give to the student girls, a large number of the stu- dents and townspeople have been materially aided by the Ex- tension committee, co-operating with the Associated Charities. Through the generosity of Mrs. Alice H. Stevens the Association will be able to lit up a room in the village hospital as a memorial for her daughter Mary, our much beloved treasurer. The room will be known as the Mary Alice Stevens Room. while to and one 145 Stick Sikes Wiegman DeHaan VanNuys Snyder Stowell Irwin Dudley Rose Dalzell Bowen Bent Winslow McConnaughey Dako W.

P ' ll li ll D V . , 7 ' 'l'he Oberlin Volunteer Band is a detachment of the larger army known as the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions. It has full individual powers of establishing the method and the occasion of its drill, of giving dress-parades, and of recruiting new mem- bers. The central movement, however, reserves the right which is acknowledged by the in- dividual bands of recognizing as'V0luntecrs only those who have signed the declaration, It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary. To this end the whole movement lies, that a supply of intelligent, well-equipped candidates for foreign service may be created, that shall adequately meet the insistent demands of the foreign held. The present conditions in thc world at large present a tangible call such as few student generations have faced. The opening up of Africa to trade and commerce, the schisms of Mohammcdanism and the impending'downfall of the Turkish rule, the growing civilization of India, and the sterility of the native religions, the position and commanding influence won and held by Japan. and lastly, but not least, the great awaking of one-quarter of the world's population in China-all these present a proposition and a series of open doors such as the world has never seen. In response to this call sixteen from the Seminary, sixteen from the Senior class, nine Juniors, eight Sophomores, seven Freshmen, eight from the Academy, two Conservatory students and one post-graduate, as well as seven others not in the college, but aftiliated with the Band, have volunteered, giving to Oberlin one of the largest, if not the largest, Band in the country, Among these practically all the College organizations and activities are repre- sented, as for example, the Glee Club, the 1908 Annual, Inter-society Debate, the Review and the Senior Play Committee, while several positions of importance in the Christian Associa- tions have been and are held by Volunteers. The quality of Oberlin's men and women in the held has always been high and we are justified in believing that the standard will not be lowered when the seventy reach their Gelds. Of this number eight are dehnitely planning to sail within the next two years. 147 H1 0 II1, 'os 1111 lllbemomam Dr E Vllcxgnarb 61111101 1 All-11111111 l lV1Ol, 11110 1,111l111ted 111111 1111 11155 of 97 111111 5111111111ly 511: P1115111111,11 PL1111, 1111 1110 27th of 1111 11y f 5 111 1110111115 J 1y OI 1115 1110 S011 D1 11111 N115 NV11l110 l'1y101,1111551011 Lb 1 1 LLC 111111 10 11115 101111111 11111 1LCL1VLd both 1118 11111111 11o1y 11141 101111151110 t111111111, 11111 Ill O11111111 A1111 1,1 111111121011 110 5110111 10111 y1'11s 11 1111 U1111c1s1ty of 1111115ylv 11111 111 11051 gl 11111111 study 11111111 1111s 11011011 110 110111, 11 1l1St, 1 LJ111V01s1ty f111ow511111 11111 ICLCIVCC1 1110 111111 of P11 D 1111901 I 1111 1 nf 1110 511111 y11r 110 1111111 1115 wo111 lS 111511111101 of c11111115t1y 111 011011111 Col 11140, 11111 11115 1105111011 110 1111011 w1111 101011111110 fOl 11v0 570119 11111 111011 IC 10111111 1 5111111 lf 111111 111 1110 C1111eg1c 11111111011 S111001 '11 P1tt511111g11 D '11y1o1 W'l9 '1 111111 0f 511101 y 115105 11111 11 111115, lovmg lllb 1100155 111011 111111 501111 1lfC, '11111 p11f011111g 011111111111 111v1511g1t1011 10 111y Ot11C1 OCCll1Jl1lOl1 110 NVlS '1 SIIILCIC C1l1lS1l 111 g111t11111111, 111l0v011 by '111 111s '1550c11t15 llld 111g11ly 15101111111 by '111 1115 51111111115 130111 fO1 1111 lCLl1l 11y of 1118 11110w1111g1 11111 1118 1N11111l1J1L 111 ll 11101 F1111511 1' J11v1TT 'z 1' M., ' ' -W1 1 1' - ' 1 ' , ' - 5 - .

Ili-O-Ili, '08 Gubreg llnberwoob Qiranbell tears-llama On the opening days of the college year came the news-like a thunder- bolt from a clear sky-to the old students, that one of 'OWS most prom- ising young men had been drowned Lbecause of heart failurej while swimming in lJevil's Lake, Michigan, on August 22, 1906. .lfor two years he had added to the joys of others by the congenial warmth of his personality, whether in the life at the boarding house, on stags,'l or serenades, or in the class room. He had an affectionate nature, a seientilic mind and a trust- ful Christian spirit. To Aubrey's friends l1is buoyant, lovable tempera- ment seemed to echo afresh the sweet strains of Horace: - nec duleis amores spernc puer neque tu choreas, douec virenti cani- ties abest morosaf' FRANK IEIJJAII Dunmcv. Slorence Storeg isszaqms ln the sudden death of this beauti- ful girl, her classmates and friends have suffered an irreparable loss. Rarely does one meet a nature of such sweetness and charm, nor one where so many beautiful trails of character are combined. She was generous, loving and absolutely un- seliish, and while often self-distrustful she was yet a ra1'e combination of difiidence and courage. Life, to her, was full of thought, feeling and ac- tion. Her happy, fun-loving' spirit created a sunny atmosphere wherever she went, but the depth and serious- ness of her nature was perfectly ap- parent-the lineness of her feeling and the courage with which she faced the real problems of living. It is hard to understand the sudden ending of a life so full of richness and promise, yet its mission was nobly filled and who-can estimate its in- fluence? MRS. ARTHUR S. IQTMIIALI..

No one could give a satisfactory reason for this unless it was that the performances at the weekly rehearsal were still fresh enough in our memories to oIl'er a common topic for conversation. Conversation is an important wordg for although we convened ostensibly to engage in the seientitie game of hearts. still we were able to solve its weighty problems and at the same time discuss everything and everybody in town. Although accused of being very critical, the term criticism hardly applied to our re- marks. NVhether teacher or pupil, the victims were brought forth: under the keen blade of our mature judgment they sullered such cutting and dissecting that, had the operation been upon the physical being, there would have been only a pile of scraps after the surgeons were through. Sometimes our thoughts turned to more serious things and we would discuss the relative value of a lieethoven sonata and such modern creations as lliawatha, or whether Strauss' Salome marked the beginning ol a new epoch in opera. as did The Georgia Camp Meeting' l 1 t I l the i 'Ill ICH CllllCCl'lllllg ' ' beauties VVL. of Yellow Stone and the principles laid down by the 'Lady f took a keen interest in the current events.

Hi-O-Hi, '08 Faith Rogers I Virginia Ballard Neita Bull Gail Ridgway Uril Wing Florence Mosher Jessie Hnfstetler ltlary Moore Blanche Mallory IDomen's 23041126 of the Cionservatorg There has been a deplorable lack of organization among the Conservatory women, chiefly due to the frequent changes in the membership of the student body and to thc necessarily individual nature of their work. In 1902 a cabinet was formed, known as the Student Board of Conservatory Women. It was composed of sixteen women who served not only in the same capacity as officers of the college classes, but also as a social committee for all the women, and as an advisory committee to the dean. Since then the duties of the board have varied from year to year, but its original object has always been kept in mind.. An important part of the work con- sists in initiating new-:ind old-students into the mysteries of joining on registration days and assisting the dean with her clerical work. The board girls assign the chapel seats, plan and manage the large Annual Dance, assist at the opening reception and aid at the other social functions held during the year. At the beginning of every term they are entertained by the dean at dinner, which is followed by a business meeting. ' The officers are elected at the beginning of the fall term and serve for one year. Until the present time the Board has elected its own members, but this year two were sent from- the student body, and in the course of a few years it will undoubtedly be an entirely repre- sentative body. 162 WITH Till DV-??sw4l'3'e5FWuR23EZ31 v-Qibdm-' i :ll S, z :g i--ea L-PQ QQ-.5 Wx Mar . -ff':...?'..2B- Lf fill!!

That fatal, facile drink Has ruined many geese who dipt their quills in't: Bribe, murder, marry--but steer clear of ink, Save when you write receipts for paid-up hills in't: There may be proht in the blue, black.-all T know of is the worm-wood and the gall. Since Kipling penned these half-earnest lines live and twenty years ago, they have come to be the almost oliicial expression of the surly, contra1'ily-expressed attachment of scribes to their profession. Scribe is a queer job,-and if the most pleasant form which it assumes is that of college scribe, yet the latter in the main partakes of the essential nature of its kind which is something as follows: The earth is infested with men of terrible energy who cannot control themselves to placidity, but constantly break down into deeds and achievements. In the golden age these worthies set certain of their wretched thralls to copy out their doings all fair in books, and perpetuate their acts in words of flame. In the late Christian Era, l'l0WCVC1', since men cozen their work-jades instead of gadding them, the fierce ones have taken to approaching those marked out for scribes with speech melle dulcior, feigning that he who writes is not merely Cas, tho, he isj the slave of the worlcl's facts, but Cpretty jestj the inspirer of its future progress! In this delusion, then, moil the scribes, recording the world's weary news, with windy suspirations, and turning fondly for their rewards to editorial thunderings. In this same manner the function of the college paper and its scribes is, first, the publishing of the college happenings and, second, the interpretation thereof. Even the first, or baser function, is mostly joy. lt is true that the various events that transpire during the college year must be written up in a bright, breezy and entertaining fashion. The public, too, is fain to be fed on items of sports in which it finds subjects for table-conversation, but which grow somewhat fiat and stale to their purveyors after a few weeks. How keen are the pleasures of catching and transcribing the thoughts of the men who speak to the student public! How grateful, too, the task of knowing all that's a doing in the college world! On the whole, the news recording function of the college scribes is a singularly agreeable one. But pass we from glory into glory! The college scribes mold public opinion, they sway college sentiment. The polite, the stock fiction in this regard is that the college paper points out the path of the future, inspires, allures to brighter fields and leads the way. But whisper Cas the Irish sayj, the reality is as far from that glowing repre- sentation as happiness from Lucifer's heart. For if the college paper be wise it will be well aware that, even as its first duty is the recording of student occurrences, so its second duty is the 1'ecording of student sentiment,- only this and nothing more. Nor is this a low duty. If the college be alert the trend of its thoughts on all matters worth mentioning is apt to be goodg and the expressing of that thought is correspondingly apt to be a pleasant task. What then shall we say of the college scribes? The words of their writing are read by the kindling eyes of youth, their ink-ho1'ns are exalted, and their business managers maintain a golden wall between them and trouble. The college scribes are the happiest of their kind-happier than the hammer and chisel men who did Rameses' lithography, happier than the Roman analists, aye, and far happier than the poor city news-dogs of the pro- fession in its present stage of evolution.

This success, however, must be measured relatively, for starting withoutleven the nucleus of a team we evolved before the end of the season a smoothly working machineg beginning in the face of a spirit of ridicule we developed a genuine and enthusi- astic spirit of support for the teamg and although few candidates were out for the team at the outset the number quickly increased and continued undiminished up to the end of the season. This quickened interest in the sport was also clearly shown in the keen rivalry of the inter-class series. About 25 per cent of college men participated regularly in this sport throughout the season. Great credit for this fine showing is due our coach, Harvey R. Snyder, '08, Harvard Law School, by whose enthusiasm and untiring zeal these results were largely brought about. Turning to the consideration of the actual games played, we 1nay congratu- late ourselves that our light team, without its captain and with only one regular from the previous season, was able in its first game to hold the Cornell veterans to a score of 25-5. After the stage fright of the first ten minutes had passed away our team was not outclassed. The next game, a tie with Kenyon on our home field, was a great disappointment. Our new men had not yet gotten into the spirit of football. Though we made progress during the next week our strength was only sufficient to hold Ohio Wesleyan to a tie score on their grounds. The O. SJ U. game in Oberlin the following week showed our team at its best and working under favorable conditions. The open game as worked out by Oberlin under the new rules proved most spectacular. A costly fumble and a seeming error in judgment by an official gave the visitors the game by the score of 6-0. The defeat suffered at ifVooster the next week was largely due to the absence of Captain VVaters and three of our best men because of slight injuries received in the O. S. U. game. Our next game was with Reserve in Oberlin. The Cleve- landers came out with talk of a 30-0 score, but returned thankful that they had not been scored against. it is safe to say that our lighter team with its more open style of play was unable to score only because of the indescribable sea of mud in which the game was played. The last game of the season brought us our only victory-a victory over Case School. It was a fitting and glorious climaxg balm to hearts made sick by 'lhope oft deferred. Although we were outweighed and playing against a team of veterans, the game was evenly fought until the last six minutes when the grit, speed and determination of our team won out, as Capt. Waters scooped up a bounding onside kick out of the very clutches of two Case men and ran for thirty-five yards and'a touchdown. No one who saw the Oberlin grand-stands at that moment will ever forget that sight. The victory was ours: all the disappointments of the weeks before were forgotten and the season which had begun in gloom was ended in a blaze of glory. The prospects for a splendid team next year are exceptionally good.

However, a few explanations and the addition of a few facts in this connection may not prove uninteresting. The Yale defeat was probably due entirely to the lack of condition of our men who had not been together during the Holidays and had not begun to prac- tice as a team. The game with Ohio State in Columbus was wonderfully fast and fierce in the last half when our boys cut down the 10-5 lead of O. S.U.and won out with a score of 19-15. It was a stirring contest. On the next day Oberlin had not recovered from the O. S. U. game and listless playing and an unfortunate experience with an official lost us our only game to an Ohio team. The games with Hiram, O. XV. U. and Wooster in Oberlin were well played but need no special comment. The first eastern trip of a basket ball team in our history resulted in an easy andldecisive victory over the Cadets at West Point and at Williams in one of the greatest games played in the U. S. this year by college teams. The latter contest stood 7-7 at the end of the regular playing time. In the extra playing period a lucky long distance shot gave Williams the required two points and the victory. As Williams has this season had the best record of any college team in the East we are justified in rejoicing at the class shown by our men. The trip ended in a defeat at the hands of Allegheny College, but this was to be expected after two hardvgames and eighteen hours en route. Our old rivals, Reserve, made a poor showing on our iioor, though the game was more interesting than the score would indicate. The Allegheny team next came to Oberlin with the determination to win. They are a good team and succeeded in giving us our second defeat of the season on our own lioor. It must be said, however, that our team was not playing as a team in this game. All who have followed the work of our boys know that we should have defeated Allegheny by a good margin. Our basket ball season closed with a beautiful, fast, clean game at Wooster University which Oberlin won, gaining for us a clear title to the Ohio College Championship. The team of 1907 deserves great credit for its long string of victories. The loss of Captain Most and G. C. Morrison by graduation this year will be irrepar- able, as they are two of the greatest players who have ever worn the crimson and gold. However, the prospects for a good team next year are bright. Three of our veterans will undoubtedly be with us and with this year's substitutes and the promising. material of the present Freshman class Oberlin should have a magnificent team next year. Under the leadership of captain-elect J.

'I'lte only solution which can be offered for such a wide divergence of scores between teams of approximately the same strength, lies in thc uncet'tainty of baseball as regards tltc out- come of the games. The best team is subject to an off-day on which the poorer opponent, by some unex- plainablc power, is ahlc to take advantage of its more worthy opponcnt's mistakes. Realizing that the season began with our cltampionship 1905 team nearly intact, we certainly will not class our team of 1906 with the also rans. lt remains then, to explain the sudden attacks of dementia .'Xmericana, with which the team seemed to he afflicted in t'i1eir ditfercnt defeats. When all the evidence is considered, we find that dementia .Xmerieana is unnecessary for the defense: that the placing of the balance on thc wrong side of thc column was tluc to outside circumstances and that we can rely wholly upon the law as written on thc daily sporting pages that cold weather and an oozy diamond operate to the disadvantage of every baseball team. These conditions, especially thc cold weather. operated particularly to the disadvantage of Varsity by depriving it, for more than half the season. of the best services of Captain XViley in the pitching box. NVith only one pitcher in reserve tlte Captain was forced to pitch several games with his arm in a very painful condition caused by working in thc cold. .ts soon as warmer weather came, ltc was able to pitch his usual matchlcss game, triumphing over the much tootetl Webb, of Ohio 1Vcsleyan. Nile could not be deprived of his services as Captain, for the entire season. It is to him, and to Lfoach lfavour that we are chiefly indebted for the season's successes. The teatn continued to improve as it had done the year before under tltc direction of XVin l auver. 'l'hc usual low batting Jer- centage increased somewhat, and in the majority ot' ganzes Oberlin was credited with more stolen bascs than her opponents. Captain VViley had an able assistant in the box in 'l'aylor. llis work at Ann .Xrbor against the strong University of Michigan team was remarkable considering tlte fact that his mrevious 'iitching experience was limited to a season's work on his class team. llc was also backed um b lirilliant fielding which made the shut ottt score possible. W'ith the possible exception of the Ohio Xllcslcyan game, this was the best played game on the schedule. The excitement which attended the home coming of the team will he long remembered. Even the dignified faculty members willingly C?j furnished the power for the hay-rack ride, awarded the boys on their return. Reliable Louis Todd showed improvement over his work of 1905 in batting and in throwing to bases. In the VVesleyan game he made no less than six perfect throws to second, catching thc -runner each time. This season closed his splendid record of four years as varsit ' catcher. 'l'hc infield, made up ol' XYaters, Smith, VVartl and Rupp, with liellogg as utility man, made up one of thc best college infieltls in the state. Their work showed marked improvement over that of 1905. Iiortunately these men will he seen on the 1007 tram. and even greater things may be ex it-eted of them. Lightner, YVilson and Vradenburg perftrmcd faithfully in thc outfield. They roblmetl the omposing' fcam of many a score b sensational catchts. It is to bc regretted that of these men none will lac ahle to play with the team oty1907. Of the tltirteen games on the schedule, flhtrlizt won six and lost seven.

In the Stadium Elie Crack Season, 1906 The track season for 1906 was in all a success. XVe failed to come up to our former standard in the Hig Six. it is true. yet we defeated, in old-time style, our Cleveland rivals, Case and Reserve. ' '. .-Xt Coach Keane's return early in March the season was actively opened. Only one point winner. Aaron J. Parks! of the 1905 team, remained. The material at hand was entirely new. The prospect was anything' but promising. Hard work was immediately made the watchword of the team and its results were abundantly proven later. The indoor class meet in March was satisfactory and a number of records were broken, llilfk increasing his pole vault record to 10 feet 8 inches: Maclgean lowering the two-mile record by 26M seconds, making' the distance in ll minutes 5M seconds, and Spiers clipping two-fifths of a second ofi the low hurdle record. -A The usual unusual dampness of our Oberlin Aprils interfered much with the succeeding outdoor work. However, we worked between showers and suc- ceeded in making the Home liield Day, April 30th, an interesting athletic event. l'arks was again the star, breaking both his pole vault record, clearing the bar at the remarkable height of ll feet 6 inches, and the broad jump record held by Bacon, making a new mark of 21 feet 10 inches. All the events were closely con- tested. XVarner, Spiers and VVelsh proved winners in the sprints and hurdlesg VVells,Cables and Canouse took the distances,and the weights were captured by the Thompson brothers and Seymour. Two weeks later Case proved an easy mark, our team winning every event except the quarter-mile. The final score was: Oberlin, 100-Case, 17. The meet with Reserve at Cleveland the following week was the crowning point of the season. Reserve was confident of victory. The laurels of football, basket ball, baseball and debate. during the college year, were hers, and here was a' chance to add the last. livery event was hotly contested, the favor of the score being changed by each succeeding contest. The relay alone remained to be run, the score standing 57-55, in our favor. The final winner must win this event. Faithful work and careful training here proved itself and ihe banner for 1906 was ours. The last meet of the year was the Big Six at Columbus. Our showing here was a disappointment. Strained muscles and sprained ankles prevented a num- ber of our men from entering their events. .Parks won ,our only first by raising the pole vault record to 11 feet 75 inches. Wfelsh won a second in the high lmrdles and Parks one in the high jump. XVarner, NVells and Cables each won a third. Cole won three-fourths in the weight events. The better men of the sea- son were Parks, Wfarner, VVelsl1, Cables. X'Vells and Cole. A review of the track season of 1906 would not be complete unless especial mention were made of the fact, that it was entirely through subscriptions from the student body that we were' able to retain such an efficient and worthy coach as Thomas Keane. The amount necessary to be raised seemed at first an impossi- bility, but by the energy of a few. especially C. A. liisbee, and the generosity of many. the sum was pledged and collected. ll.

Trm1s1n'er The Athletic Association has long ceased to be a dream and is a reality. Many of the things that the Association aims to accom- plish are visionary, but even to these there are exceptions. Namely, the purchase of quite a piece of land west of the Conserva- tory which is to be a hockey field 3 the addition of two new tennis courts, and the splendid new basket ball floor in the Gymnasium. Out-of-door basket ball games are things of the past, and with gallery and bleachers packed and gay with banners, one could al- most imagine our sham Yale-Princeton game to be a real Yale-Oberlin game in the boys' gymnasium. This year even the little peanut boys were carried off their feet when Princeton won by a score of 3-2. The Association was the means of bring- ing Professor Vincent here again to deliver one of his inspiring lectures. Along with its gains the Association has met the loss of the skating floor. At present there is no convenient place to 1'un off the preliminaries, and the skating contest will suffer in consequence. This year we had none. ln the new gymnasium the Association can welcome its members at home. iv Ili-0-In, 'os QDID Speak, U pile most a Primal pioneer of Ol lltd in deepest shadt Of 'l'aleott's Older than the lnriek Older than Older than o fl the trees Oherlin's Speak. thou ancient Solitary fragment of Tell the wondrous s Speak, thon liven as I gazed the A steaming, seething Rockefeller's golden Formed the Till a mighty structt Screened with fences.

Gcabemg football Season 1906 The 1906 Academy team will be long remembered. ln the first year's play under the new rules they gained many a point under the new formations. The team was fast, and under the drive of plucky Captain lloggs, attained an irresist- ible dash. Elyria and Central were defeated easily and the team went to Detroit, October 13th, at top form. The game was one of the most spectacular ever seen in Detroit. Central High had not met defeat in years, in fact, defeated the Academy here in 1905 by an overwhelming score, but the Calls would not be denied. After trying several regular formations to no advantage Captain lloggs used a double-pass play built for Stitt, the big speedy end from NVisconsin. This was the Coaeh's pet play and hours had been given to its perfection. Stitt was equal to the occasion and his long run was responsible for the touchdown which soon followed. The speedy Oberlin 'High School team was played to a tie-4 to 4. The games with Toledo and Fostoria were brilliant victories and added new laurels to the Academy. At the banquet given to the team at the end of their successful season Queen was elected captain for 1907. VVith him go the good wishes of every loyal follower of the lfllue and 1Vhite. 223 Ili-0-Ili, '08 Wood. e. Andrus. c. Corliss, g. john Rahill, r. iz. Cant. Adams. I, q. ,letlt-rs. r. l. Ellis.

Robbed of two stars by the scholarship route and with its captain lame with a foot ball ankle, the outlook was discouraging. llut the team rallied around Adams and fought straight through the season, bringing in every game fresh honors for their school. 'l'he Rahill brothers put up a beautiful game in their positions and should make star material for next year. Andrus was a steady player and Adams did truly wonderful work, considering his handicapped condition. llut the star of the season was ulellers. 'l'his brilliant forward never failed to gain generous applause for his remarkable shots. After sharpening their claws on Elyria, the Academy live surprised their friends, their opponents, but mostly themselves by defeating the fast Rayen School team from Youngstown. Un the return game to Youngstown, one of the best the' Academy has ever taken, Rayen took her reveng'e and Sharon added her quota to our troubles., but the treatment received at these two towns was of sneh a high sportsmanlike character that scores were forgotten. The team did wisely in re-electing Adams for the season of 1908. The lfort Dodge boy is a hard lighter, a true sportsman, and should make an ideal leader. XVith such a captain and with such seasoned material the team of 1903 gives every promise of equaling the champions of 1906. 224 In the Stadium Meech. 3d. Crandall Slllllllwily. r. I. Ashley. Zd.

Clcabemg Baseball Season 1906 The Academy baseball team had a successful though erratic season. Although losing to Cleveland East High School and to Painesville, the wearers of the Blue and White twice defeated their old rivals, the Oberlin High School, in brilliant style. The erratic tendency was due to the fact that the Academy had no practice field of their own. The college field could be used only while the 'Varsity team was at batting practice. This made regular practice impossible. The management is happy to announce that this has been rectified by the purchase of a new Held for the Academy. Individually the team was one of the strongest in many seasons. The work of Jeffers was steady throughout and Hurst's pitching was of college caliber, especially upon warm days. In a pinch Ashley could twirl a good game. Dick Burr at first base was a consistent fielder and hitter and added much to the effectiveness of the infield. While Trimblels hitting was erratic it was none the less fervent when he landed. Andrus and Ferguson fielded their positions well and Reed's work at short was 'at times phenomenal. Much credit is due to Manager Heath for the success of the season. Cn the whole it may be said that the team had its share of the true Academy spirit, the spirit of good fellowship and good sportsmanship. 225 Hi-O-Hi, '08 Clcabemg Relag Cecxm Cole llill Brown Haag Bi-hr Chase. Mgr. Chamberlain. Conch Clcabemg Gfracli Citbletics The declaration of independence of Academy athletics is now complete. Cast off by the collegiate mother, the preparatory colonies have organized them- selves and set up their own standards--the Blue and NVhite. The growth of the Academy is seen nowhere more clearly. Baseball, football and basket ball teams have been well on their feet for some time, but this year marks the first separate track team in our history. The season opened with an invitation relay race against the University School, at the big athletic meet of the Cleveland Schools, early in March. P. D. Cole, N. P. Brown, R. I . Behr and li. M. Hill, in a half-mile relay, won a decisive victory, to the surprise of Cleveland. Handsome medals and a trophy cup were given as prizes. Becoming ambitious, the management decided to send a team to the big Relay Race Carnival'held by the University of Pennsylvania on April twenty- seventh. Owing to misunderstanding and late entry, Oberlin was placed in the Championship group, and not in a class race. The company was of the fastest, but the Academy made a good showing, running the mile in about 3:43. Brown, C. M. Haag, Behr and Captain Hill composed the team. For the first time we have been represented-and honorably-at this greatest athletic event. Other meets are being arranged for the whole team, material is being developed, and interest is well aroused. We can claim our place among the best preparatory schools, and prove the claim. 226 WITH WRITERS Ili-O-Ili, 'os Drizes The james Pettit prize of ten dollars was awarded to Miss Clara M.

Therefore their friendship never lacked the spice of argument, and apparently thrived on battles. Eastman, lounging at lazy ease in Senior Bible, filled his notebook with verses, jokes and quite reprehensible caricatures 5 Bartwell took down the Presi- dent's remarks with reverence and remonstrated with Eastman by the hour. About Eastman hovered the elusive fragrance of Duke'sg Bartwell led Y. M. C. A., had a Bible class, and played football. Eastman was correspondent for two Chicago papers, but his main interest was oratory. A friend of his Cat Reservej was reported to have said that Yeast could put up a case for the Old Nick himself that would make any jury in sky, earth or blazes acquit him. This was, of course, a matter of concern to Bartwell. But the old friendship remained unbroken and the two were room- mates their last year. Eastman was black-haired and white-skinned, and the navy blue Hannel to which his superlative laziness was addicted, except on special occasions, carried a mysterious and quite unaccountable suggestion of negligent familiarity with claw-hammer and patent leathers. Bartwell was big, square-jawed, brown-eyed. Trusted instinctively of all men-and of all women-which counted more. His attitude towards Eastman combined intense admiration with conscientious dis- approval 5 Eastman, for his part, laughed at Bartwell and loved him. Eastman had won his Sophomore and Junior contests, and in his third year made a second place in the Home, as well as having, by general consent, virtually won the debating banner for his society. These things, if less popularly effective 1han Bartwell's place kicks, made him noted of the wiseg and months before an especially lurid billboard proclaimed the Home Contest, the knowing talked of him as practically certain of the N. O. L. Eastman's methods of working, which were erratic in the extreme, caused Bartwell much tribulation. He was bound to admit that Yeast somehow always got everything doneg but each time his room-mate clawclled up to the last minute l3artwel1's affectionate worry was twice what his own work would have caused him. It was Bartwell xi ho watched the bulletin board for orator's announcements and reported them dutifully. Yeast, you know it's the twenty-seventh, and you haven't scratched a word yet. . Aw-W-w, go chase yourself, Granny l But how on earth can you- There, there l Eastman punctuated the resulting scuffle by gently but firmly knocking Bartwell's head against the wall. Bear up-bear up-the worst is yet to come. 230 With, the Writers Aw, cut it out! Lemme go, you lobster! Are you going to write that oration or arenit you P To which Eastman chuckled and rolled his eyes darkly, but would vouch- safe no reply. ,A week more and Eastman had spent his evenings fussing. On Saturday Bartwell began again as Yeast adjusted his tie with leisurely skill. Now, Yeast, you can start in to-night as well as not. My precious life, how foolishness! Pm going to the party. As if a fool party counted more than the N. O. L.! Yeast, you know I care, if you don't. Eastman turned with a sudden glance and a slow smile-one of the rare, odd moments that knit them. Wish you cared half so much for yourself, Granny! On Sunday Eastman slept till noon, and then actually began to scrawl. Bartwell was half vexed. You had loads of time all week, and you have to do it today ! When the spirit moves, my son! And now will you kindly remove your unconscionable bulk from my vicinity? Who could write an oration with those sorrowful cow-like orbs piercing to his very so-o-ul? Git-vamoose-evaporate -in other words, skiddoo! Bartwell obeyed, laughing, pursued down the stairs by a fusillade of text- books. Later, returning from Y. M. C. A., he found Eastman gone and sheets scattered broadcast over the room. He picked them up, hardly glancing at the hieroglyphics of Yeast's chirography, which suggested the wanderings of a demented man, until a title caught his eye, The New Puritanismf' Queer subject-for Yeast, with some vague apprehension Bartwell glanced down the page. Then he piled the rest together, and with knit brows plowed through them. Finally he rose, with the square chin thrust out and mouth compressed. He held the sheets balanced in his hand a moment, before he thrust them inside the desk. ' The New Puritanism ! Well, he might have guessed what Yeast would say if he spoke his mind. He had dropped chance words often enough, with a. certain sting, as much more bitter as it was subtler than the frequently heard grumbling over rules and narrow-mindedness. Eastman had come because of a strong-willed graduate father, against his own choice, and perhaps for this reason the boyish resentment of his freshman year instead of melting away as such feeling oftenest did, had clung in a touch of hardness an inexpressed sneer that hurt and rebellecl in the rare moments when it came to distinctness. It was a thing Bartwell had resolved to ignore, he had almost believed it already of the past, and Eastman, indeed, had never put it into definite words-till now. In spite of the corrections, the scratching out and mixing of unnumbered pages, the general drift was clear. The thing was an arraignment-and an arraignment, as,Bartwell vaguely felt, of something more than the words implied, an arraign- 231 Ili-O-Ili, '08 ment, in the name of human suffering and repression, of ideals, the college held fundamental. Well. one undergraduate oration-what difference? Not very great, per- haps, but a difference to Eastman, who might conceivably fail on the probable mental bias of the judges, a difference, even -if he succeeded by force of his magnetic presence and delivery-and this last the worst, since it meant some subtlety of spiritual poison confirmed and made permanent in himself. Bartwell was not articulate in these things that lay deep, perhaps, for this, they were with him the more vital. But even to a blunter perception it was clear that this should not be, of all colleges, Oberlin's contribution to the League. Bartwell feigned sleep when Eastman came in, but lay awake, still pon- dering .... Talk to Yeast? . . . The signal ineffectuality of' such a proceeding, a thousand times proved, made him smile in the dark. And he found, besides, an unexplained shrinking in himself. The other times had not counted, this might hurt and leave scars. In the end, he tried. It was a rather bad half hour, Bartwell felt his own blundering, and Eastman, at the last, shrugged his shoulders and was silent. After that, the matter dropped by tacit consent, things went on apparently as before, but for the discomfort of conscious avoidance. Bartwell, indeed, forced himself to ask laboriously casual questions, to which Eastman returned mono- syllabic answers. Eastman gave something on arbitration in the preliminary. Bartwell knew that some oration had been typewritten, and delivered before the judges, further than that he did not ask, and his interests lay so strongly in athletics that most of the casual conversation he heard hinged on team prospects. And Eastman said nothing. But the Home Contest, coming nearer, gave Bartwell the feeling of some dis- quieting, if indefinite crisis. He had moments of revulsion, who was he, after all, to judge Eastman, to set his own standard as that of the community? Again, it seemed that Yeast must be held back, in spite of himself, in the name of things greater even than their friendship, and yet again as if the other values were after all so slight beside the prize of human good will. It was a hard thing for Bart- well, the direct and simple-natured, he had no skill in turning and twisting argu- ments, that belonged to Eastman-Eastman, who could make black white, and white black, and then blend both to the neutrality of gray, and last of all laugh like a careless showman at the antics of his mental puppets. He was young, but the trick of it was bred in him. Q Bartwell thought Eastman avoided him all through the last week, he was more seldom in the room than ever. The night of the contest came. Eastman had disappeared, but Bartwell, coming home before dinner, saw a pile of type- written sheets on the desk. The oration- Wotild Eastman give THAT, after all? . . . Perhaps it would be the one on arbitration. Bartwell did not know which had been delivered before the 232 With the Writers judges, He bent over the desk. The New Puritanism. ' . . Yes, it was the same. Some sudden, half blind resentment surged in him,-in truth a blood revolt of long dead men whose stern and deep faith had brooked no approach to the undermining of its foundations. And whatever its brilliancy, whatever its com- pelling charm of language, was not this in essence an attack on something vital, underlying,--the unwavering standard of wrong and right on which the place's traditions had set the seal of life and death? Oh, that it should be Eastman, to do it! . . . VVholesome-minded, sane- bodied as he was. Bartwell's was the spiritual inheritance of searching and self- blame. Surely, he had been himself at fault, if his closest friend could not in four years come to care or understand. The clock in the hall below chimed thinly the half hour. Bartwell started. Was it too late, even now? . . . He knew how dependent Eastman was on a last chance, before examination or debate .... That one on arbitration, yes, here was the paper, as Yeast had pigeon-holed it the day before, he had heard the praise of it everywhere, A magnificent oration, one of the best ever delivered herej' more than one professor had said . . . what if Yeast should grasp this in the hurry of starting,--not the other,-he would give this again, instead,- he would win, he couldn't help winning- 4 Bartwell hardly knew that his fingers were tearing the paper he held, hardly knew, till the mass was stuffed into the tiny stove in the corner, what he had done .... Then he stood still, staring at the shriveling fragments, the glowing coals, a sharp tide not the f1relight's reflection, welling horribly to the roots of his hair. What was this he had done-he, john Bartwell? Destroyed his best friendis work of weeks-stolen it-yes, stolen-was there any other word? Oh, this was the end of everything, surely the end. Yeast could not forgive it, no man could-least of all could Bartwell ever forgive himself .... Yet ,... the motive-to save Yeast, even against his will-to save his ,doing this thing that he would, he must regret always, afterwards, if done- . . . Could men be justified in these things? . . . But the oration, the oration was gone! A minute, and cooler thought suggested that Eastman had, of course, com- mitted it anyway, he would remember without the paper--it would make no difference, after allg he had done this despicable act to no avail .... How slowly that hall clock ticked! Why didn't Yeast come? How could he wait? Dinner-he could not endure the maddening chatter of the table, Eastman's name always recurring .... He flung himself on the couch, face down, listening feverishly for Eastman's step on the stairs, waiting to confess, to end it all. . . . For of course, it must end everything. The clock chimed six, half past-still Eastman did not come. He must have dressed already and gone-gone to other friends than Bartwell, by right his closest. That hurt, even now. 233 Hi-O-Hi, 'os Suddenly Bartwell roused. Shadowy figures were beginning to stream by in the street, on their way to the church .... He must go, too, he must find out, at least, what Yeast would do since he had not even come back to get the paper. . It was late already when Bartwell dropped into a seat at the back of the gal- lery, unnoted by the crowd of rooters beyond. The band was discoursing noisily 3 the church was full, but the faces were curiously blurred and indefinite to his sight. The program-Yeast was third--yes, there it was. The New Puritanismf' Charles L. Eastman, O.- And there was Yeast himself, with the other orators in the faculty seats, white, clean-cut, lazy, unutterably unconcerned, drawling some ridiculous com- ment to the junior next him, who laughed nervously .... Now the presiding manager was rising, he hitched his trousers, cleared his throat-why was Leonard always so maddeningly deliberate? But he ended at last. Frisbie, a sophomore whose outstanding ears glowed a rich carmine, was delivering himself of a jerkily emphasized harangue, the subject of which appeared to be the heinous .if some- what indefinite misdoings of Standard Oil .... He finished and left the platform, blushing violently, and stumbling on the steps, there was a perfunctory rattle, how, indeed, had HE ever made the finals? . . . Leonard's tedious announcing again, then Allington, a junior, on China-a painfully overworked subject, still Allington was good, no one but him in the same class with Yeast, but yet, if Yeast were fiurried, disturbed-a glance reassured. It was from all appearances impossible to imagine Eastman stirred from his lazy calm, by any- thing less than dynamite .... How long they were clapping Allington, would Leonard never arise and hitch his trousers once more? . . . Yeast-could he possibly get to him now, even now-before Leonard finished, to tell him-what should he tell him? Bartwell half started from his seat before the realization of the ideais absurdity returned his muscles to their tensity of waiting. Yeast was climbing the platform now, bowing, smiling a little to acknowledge his welcoming applause. Always that easy grace, the perfect co-ordination of mind and muscle-and yet Eastman scorned the gymnasium and laughed at training rules--where did such men learn? Then he began. The New Puritanismf' So it had been of no avail. Bart- well knew the deep charm of Eastman's voice, of his perfect and effortless enun- ciation, too well , that made it worse. He did not listen, the first five minutes, he sat with eyes dropped on the fioor, yet he felt the new character of the attentive stillness around him. Eastman held his audience like that, always. I Then he started upright .... What he was hearing was not the oration he had read and destroyed. The beginning was like it-but the rest! These things Eastman was saying were not the subtle bitterness of that first draft, the ring of them was too deep even for the sincerity of pessimism. As if it were the flash of some unsuspected torch close beside him, the revelation came. This 234 With the Writers was Eastman himself-this was his friend's real thought, past all the kaleidoscopic contradiction of his nature-this fine homage for a surviving abiding constancy of spirit, its earlier narrowness outgrown, keeping its rugged strength, gaining the light and sweetness of Arnold's praise. It was five minutes, full, before the thun- dering applause would let Leonard announce the musical number that followed. All around Bartwell the voices were chattering-Eastman was sure of it, but through it the roommate made his unseeing way downstairs, out to the entry where Yeast was shaking hands with the professor of oratory. Yeast-O, Yeast-that was-great- Oh hang you, Granny! Why, Granny! But Bartwell drew back. I-Ie gave it hoarsely, incoherently. I burned it-I tell you, Yeast, I burned it-I burned your'oration. I thought you oughtn't to give it like that-U What the blazes-Granny, youire off your nut. I had the oration in my pocket-look here, here it is- On your desk, man! I tell you I burned that paper on your desk and put the old arbitration one there-Do you hear, Yeast ? I hear, but it doesn't percolate. That paper on my desk--Oh ! light break- ing on him. That old first draft! I never meant to deliver that-was sourballed to death when I wrote it, but that fool Adams typed the wrong paper- And you never told me--I tell you I burned it-I was bound you shouldn't give that-Yeast, can you ever- There, there! Shut up! You were dead right-dead right, you old duffer- now forget it! I only meant to tease you for preaching at me-Confound it, Granny! Couldn't you see your deuced old self in the whole rag-chawin'? . . . Here, hold on with your grip! I'd like to keep my paw yet awhile, and I haven't got the N. O. L., if you come to that! TI-IAT'S not why, but there isn't the shadow of a doubt, and you know it- Bartwell dodged as Eastman's Fist narrowly missed his nose. HANG the N. O. L. ! said Eastman. 235 Ili-O-Ili, '08 F vw fl ,,A.

' . ,U , farthest corner of the readin ALI, aboard, there, ladies l-beg pardon-and gentlemen! Possibly if the gentleman has written permission from the Dean, he may sit on the back seat with the chaperon. Right here, ladies, this is your chance to see Oberlin, the boast of its graduates, and the roast of its in- mates. All ready. Let 'er go, Hob. We are now at the corner of Main and Col- lege streets. At your right is the magnificent Park Hotel. lt is modeled closely after the more pretentious VVorkingmen's homes in New York and Chicago. The harmless-looking object on the track outside the door is an electric car on the line from Cleveland to Oberlin. There are more right angles on this track than in the complete figure of the Pythagorean proposition. The big Ohio col- leges are planning to make this voyage to Oberlin a part of their regular fraternity initiation. On the opposite corner observe the Historic Elm. N o town should be without one. At your left lies the college campus. The long avenue of lofty trees which crosses the emerald sward is Tappan Walk, commonly called the Bisector of the Bog. ' This imposing building before you is the College Library. It contains the finest collection of family portraits in Oberlin. The devoted young couple just entering are bound for the g room. Students begin to learn the real uses of the library quite early, but the best work is of course done in junior and Senior years, owing to longer practice hours, and more experience. 236 1Vith the IVriters On this corner you see the First Church, the College Chapel. No, madam, the bell you heard is borrowed from that little church around the corner. The small bump on this roof is not a belfry. It is only a rudimentary steeple. Chapel attendance is very poor. Sometimes there are as many as four or five vacant seats in the auditorium during chapel service. Council Hall: The home of some of our most prominent budding theologians. Note the general impression of gravity, which is due to the solidness of the sub- jects it offers. This beautiful new edifice is Severance Chemical Laboratory. It was built at the request of the outgoing Seniors, as theyeneeded new walls to cover. The other college buildings are now completely submerged with class vines. The interior of the laboratory is responsible for enough evil fumes to expel the whole Y. M. C. A. under the regime of the present smoking rule. , Peters Hall: This is constructed from the spoils of a German Feudal Castle. The towers were carefully packed and shipped, but both the architectis plans and the main section of the building were lost, so the deficiency was made up by ready- made articles. There are more tlunkies appearing daily in Peters court than the court of England can show on full dress parade. Across the street is the famous Memorial Arch. This arch has posed for its picture oftener than Richard Mansfield and Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy put together. These two brick piles on either side of Tappan VV alk represent the fondness of Oberlin for heirlooms. In an early issue of Country Life in America these antiquities will appear as the subject of an article entitled The Possibilities of a Superannuated Farm House, or How an Insignificant Cottage May Gain Dignity. The beautiful reception hall before you is Warner Gymnasium. It is the recognized headquarters of all those in the social swim of the college. In the near future the building will be enlarged by the addition of a swimming tank. This is only another example of Oberlin's democratic spirit. Warner Hall: The building contains one hundred and thirteen rooms for improvement. They are all occupied. A walk around the Conservatory in the middle of the morning hascured more people of musical aspirations in five minutes than the institution has graduated in six years. Yes, ladies, Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. That placid pink-and-white object on the top step is a bull terrier. ' On the corner opposite is Talcott tree. This is without exception the most stuck-up of all the sticks in the college. Farther up the walk is Talcott Hall. This, together with the spacious family mansion across the lawn, contains the greatest beauty show in Oberlin. There are all styles to suit any taste, but a perfect fit is guaranteed. , Across the street you will observe Sturges Hall. This is a collection of roofs of different species, accumulated by Madame Johnston on her travels abroad, the whole done into a building and held together by a fringe of consciousness. 237 V Ili-O-Ili, '08 Plum Creek: The traffic on this river is enormous. Scientists believe that the stream is the original of a certain famous French gravy recipe. Any little cook can tell you that. We are now approaching Ladies Grove. Its biography has never been written, but according to tradition its detailed history would be most interesting. This arboretuln is one of those spots unfortunately unenlightened, which co-education is trying hard to penetrate. This ends the trip, ladies. There are other remarkable things which you have not had an opportunity to see. Among these are Oberlin's splendid livery service, joining day at the College, and a Washington birthday reception. All out, please. i ' man of Brawn Man of brawn, before we part, Take, oh take with you my heart!

Doubtless it was also Wednesday noon in the parlor and perhaps even in 'the cloak-room, but as all the inmates of Baldwin were in the dining-room at the time there is no one to verify this statement. However, we must leave occult philosophy out of the question and hasten on. ' There was that expectant attitude in the dining-room which always pre- cedes the reading of table numbers for the following week. Each care-worn face for the moment took on an expression of hope. The work of the past week was done and like criminals about to be released from prison they awaited their fate. Who knows but that I will draw by Her this week,'i the enamored youth was thinking. And the bashful girl, hemmed in on each side by masculine guards, was indulging in the wild hope, Perhaps, oh perhaps, I will sit by a girl next week. Ah, me! Suddenly there rang out on the genteel, lady-like air of the room the ominous tones of the matron, Gertrude Dexter. From the further end of the dining-room the chaplain's voice chanted back, Forty-four. What there was in this number and name to arouse the inmates from their usual lethargy will always remain a mystery. 'Yet there seemed to be some hidden power in the tones. Everyone present felt a tremor pass through his body, the hands of some grew icy, hair stood on end, a bat in the neighboring thicket flapped its wings, and then all grew quiet. The reading of numbers proceeded. Suddenly the air became electrified, the room took on a blue haze, while the matron's voice called out, Warren Griffith. All became deathly still, nothing was heard but the labored breathing of Miss Dexter. Once more the chaplain's voice seemed charged with super- natural quality as he pronounced those momentous words, Forty-five. As the inmates walked out of the dining-room that day, each one felt that he had been present at a revelation of the supernatural. Our hero, Warren, walked staggering from the room. Making his way to the piano he lightened his overcharged heart by singing in a voice shaken with emotion, Not Because your Hair is Curlyf, Miss Dexter at the time was engaged in conversation with some of her friends. As the first strains of tl1e aria reached her ears, however, she stopped in the middle of a sentence and stood with drawn breath and clasped hands till the last tones died away. Then, turning to her friends she made that never to be forgotten remark, I must get some Marcelle curlersf' 24I Hi-O-Ili, '08 That night at dinner our hero and heroine were looking their best. Ger- trude wore a light, fluffy gown of pink and white mousseline de soie, while Warren wore the conventional black. Looking at her with admiring eyes, he said, Will you pass the salt? Certainly, she responded, while her voice trembled with feeling. A happy silence, which only two who are in perfect harmony can indulge in, settled down upon them. Suddenly his elbow struck hers. The Contact brought a warm flush to his face and a thrill to his heart. He looked at her with shining eyes saying, simply and yet with deep mean- ing, Excuse me. Again those tones of maiden dignity came back to him, Certainly Ah, he thought happily, how she responds to my inmost thoughts! How she understands my deep nature! When dinner was over they entered the parlor and took their place on the time-honored settee. With the manly directness which always characterized him Warren said, Dearest, I feel from our conversation to-night that you are the only one for me. Only such a one as you can fathom the intricate subtleties of my nature. Darling, will you pass the salt to me always P At first Gertrude was somewhat surprised at his abruptness. But, remem- bering that Henry V was also abrupt in his wooing she concluded that it was a mark of greatness. If anything further were needed to convince her, it was supplied by the simple manliness of his last figure of speech. He bent near to catch her low-breathed words and his heart gave a great leap as she whispered, Certainly, 3912. wager His mind a fair cathedral, where grave thoughts Like sweet-faced nuns move ever to and fro In order, at the gentle-voiced command Of their great abbess, Beauty. In slim hands They carry rosaries of sandal-wood, Each bead a word, wrought into loveliest shape, And strung with sister words of sweet accord On silver chains, linked close in unity. The glory of the dawning day shines through The great rose-window, and throws opal lights Across their brows serene, and deep-orbed eyes, And lips where peace and patience sit at guard. No discord ever echoes through those aisles, For all is love, and therefore all is law- The law of Beauty, and so law divine. 242 Where the lurking smile of fun TVitl1. the Tlfriters fifbe Siast Qeaf CWith sincere apologies to that more classical but hardly more pathetic figure the Last Leaf of Oliver Wendell I-Iolmes.j I can see him as he goes With his loosely flapping clothes Thin from wear.

N I He was born some twenty odd years ago in one of the wildest regions of northern Ohio. His brothers and sis- ters were all rather remarkable in their way, and Peter, even in early cubhood, began to show signs of the highest in- telligence and sagacity. One night, when the little family were all together, Peter turned to his mother and said, in Grizzly, Mother, I feel that the time has come when I must go out and see some of the great world round about us. I have learned all that is possible here and, although I am sorry to leave my first home, where I have been so happy, still I feel my calling is for something bigger and broader. With sad heart his mother asked him where he meant to go. Oberlin seems to be a centre of learning and culture, answered the young Grizzly, and I should like to try my fortune in the Academy there. The next day he gathered his belong- ings together and struck out on the trail for Oberlin. f , - dl fr X: it tw . N 5 V gg X ll Q.-1 'Ea A N ' - . Q N. - -Q -- KQD 'S IW, 1 ' ii II The snow was falling gently and all the village was wrapped in a white blanket on that night in January, 1900, when the young bear arrived in Ober- lin. .He was a forlorn object as he wended his way to his new rooming- place. Many a time that night before he fell asleep the thought of his happy brothers and sisters in their native haunt came to him. . Perhaps, even now, they are light- ing over the bone that mother promised them, he thought sadly. And as his glance fell on the new knee-breeches which his mother had so lovingly made for him, his eyes lilled to overflowing. Poor Peter! III He soon grew accustomed to his new surroundings, however, and as the years rolled on, his extraordinary voice began to attract considerable attention. The musical union and choir welcomed him with open arms, and in the fall of his Freshman year in college he decided he would offer his services to the Glee Club. The minute he entered Room 13, however, Peter's keen nose scented danger. There was that peculiar man- ffs 'K 5' ' 245 W' lim ml 'liilil1'n.' ill i dag' 1 fy ,W I. - , i, ..,,- .3 lil, 1? -M and-trap smell which his mother had always warned him against. But it was too late to turn back now, so he marched bravely on. When he regained consciousness a TV-ith, the TVritcrs few moments later he formed these somewhat vague ideas in his bearish mind: There is a band of seemingly harmless creatures who make queer noises in their throats and have plaid skins. They have hurt me once. I must avoid them in the future. VVith the return of every fall, how- ever, Peter seemed drawn by some irre- sistible force to Room 13, but the same outcome attended each trial. After his fourth and last experience with the plaid creatures he was forced to give up his early ambition of joining the Glee Club. And he limped home--a sadder and a wiser bear. IV Peter early developed a keen humor and a drollery of manner which was ex- tremely captivating. Such witticisms as: Aw, say, what ye givin' us P and Ye can't fool yer Uncle Billy, de- livered with his inimitable Haw, haw, and a wag of his roguish tail never failed to convulse his auditors. V The love-season of bears came and went, year after year, but Peter did not seem to feel the need of a mate. He was much sought after by the ladies, and in turn was always gracious and obliging toward them. Once only did his heart thrill with the unmistakable feeling. But she soon went away and Peter settled back into his comfortable bachelorhood again. VI As a writer of considerableiability, Peter is not to be ignored. His tracks on paper were the delight of Animal boards and toastmasters. ' He developed a system of Grizzly short-hand which often stood him in good stead. For example, he was ac- customed to roam the woods about Oberlin, occasionally, in company with one or another of his lady admirers. When they reached a shady tree Peter had but to make a scratch on the bark with his huge paw to keep off all inter- lopers. That scratch was a sign which said plainly: My tree. Keep away! CSignedj PETER. VII In his Senior year Peter became class-treasurer. He now grew sleek and fat and his skin took on a glossy, well-groomed look. This was merely a coincidence, however, as his accounts balanced perfectly. .L'l5.f,s ' lr-ixxbx I 111, xt 1 'pil all 1 4 W4 lf' 1 1 ilk N GSX X X Z, 4 'L I I ff gggggfl VIII The last phase of this remarkable career is Peter as an actor. His size and massiveness, for he was now a huge bear, enabled him to take many of the heavy parts in house and class theatricals. Critics were silent before his interpretation of Lyly and Shake- speare. Their vocabularies proved in- adequate to express their feelings. At the end of his Senior year Peter disappeared from his haunts about Oberlin and was seen no more. But the tales of his wonderful intelligence and courage will long be recounted by the hunters, trappers, and inhabitants of that community.

Down silent paths I wander, lingering, Through darkness, thronged with thoughts of long ago And ponder on the shadows of the past. Beneath these trees how many feet have trod, How many who have gone to come no more, And through these halls how many a voice has rung With joy and hope, which now perhaps is still. The spirit of the days gone by still haunts These swaying trees and stately, shadowed walks, Still from the church come strains, low echoing, The memory of choirs that used to be 5 Still from the hard-fought fields of days gone by We seem to hear the shout of victory, Clear, strong and true through all the passing years But mellowed by a falling mist of tears. Still cling around this spot the memories Of those who went from here in other years , To sacrifice their lives that men might live. Their spirit still is speaking in these stones 3 Their ardor and their strong heroic hope, And their pure, burning love for all mankind Enshrined here have made it holy ground. And so the dusky march of years goes on, And still will go with shadows in its train. But may its silent passing ever ind The ancient spirit, living as of yoreg And may the shouts of victory still ring Where'er the gold and crimson takes the field. Still may the mighty sons of Oberlin F ill up the ranks of those who went before, And carry her pure honor till at last They lay it down, untarnished, at her feet. 247 Che 500 I53 Wl'IS'l' CUI,l.lilili S'l'Rlili'l' Gnimals John Grillilll Olnislcatl, '06, Svni .......... liclwin Michael llnllinan, '07 ........

CI Boaroing, Epouse flfragebg There were nine of us at table And ten cookies on the plate, I gazed upon that extra one And hurriedly I ate. For I thought: Can I but finish E'er these other folks are done, I'll grab that extra cooky, and Have two instead of one. Now the others at the table Entertained the same design, Fast they ate, and each one murmured: That last cooky shall be mine. Gone was all the mashed potato, Gone was every slice of pork. At the very self-same moment Down clashed every knife and fork. Out shot every hand to grab it! Oh, the cooky! O! Dismay! VVhen our waiter dove among us Seized, and bore the plate away! 257 In-o-In, 'os 311 1957 Around a cheery, glowing fire Three Oberlin fellows sat. The new chapel and the library, Were the subjects of their chat. Said '08 to his neighbor: You Fellows wait and see, We'll have the first Commencement there And then will famous be. Oh, boshl '09 retorted, there Is nothing yet but talk, And some things here in Oberlin Don't go faster than a walk. The library will be finished soon, But that future chapel fine, Won't be finished 'till Commencement Of the great class of '09. You fellows may get in allright To have your stunts, but then The only one that is really sure Is the class of l9l0. Cen iittle Cabs Ten little Cad boys all in a line, One stacked another's room, and then there were nine. Nine little Cad boys, regardless of fate, One went to Birmingham, then there were eight. . Eight little Cad boys, brightest under Heaven, One flunked in Algebrag and that left seven. Seven little Cad boys got in a mix, One got his head smashed and that left six. Six little Cad boys, glad they're alive, Went to Elyria and that left five. Five little Cad boys, loafed in a store, Dean Peck saw them and that left four. Four little Cad boys, out for to see, Peeked in the Girls' Gym, and that left three. Three little Cad boys, nifty and new, One mocked the teacher, and that left two. Two little Cad boys, longing for fun, Walked with some Con girls, the Dean saw one. One little Cad boy left all alone, He smoked a cigaret, and then there were NONE. When thirty years had passed away These same three met again And talking over college days, Forgot they were gray-haired men. Jack, you were sure of the chapel For your dear old 1910, But Commencement time you wrote me They hadn't begun it then. It is thirty years since then, boys, And it does seem rather queer That we've each a son at Oberlin Who'll be a Senior there next year. A letter from Jack came yesterday, And he was all elated, They have promised our class the chapel, You must see us graduated. I did not like to discourage him And dash his hopes so low But answered: They promised it to us Just'thirty years ago. Glma mater We hail thee-Alma Mater, We love thee, mother dear, From thee we get our wisdom, From thee we get our cheer. As Freshmen green, we love thee, Because thou seem'st so newg We show our loyal spirit By wearing capes of blue. We Sophomores are wisest, You can't soak us, you bet!

The Land of Mockery Rules Planned and Designed by a popular Sophomore Girl for her younger sister -A to be Freshman. I. Jolly the Registrar! No one ever fully realizes the im- portance of this step until too late. If this has not been properly executed the first day of your College year you will have much to be sorry for-especially -on Joining Day. II. Work the Professors! Take all the snaps you can but don't .let them know why you took them. 'Carelessness in this line may cause you much needless regret. At the end of 'each Semester, express with tear-stained eyes the benefits derived from the course. I have known cases where the tears have been so natural that the pro- fessors have urged them take it again next Semester. This is especially true of the Mathematics course. III. Jolly the Men! This is necessary in order to be in- vited to artist recitals and U. L. A. lec- tures. Always try to go with a promi- nent and popular man, but go with any- one just so as to be going! That's what we live for. IV. Be On Deck! Make yourself prominent. Always be standing i11 Peters Court or by Tal- cott Tree, or on the way someplace. Ile apparent and you will at least im- press the Freshmen. They will think you own stock in the College and prob- ably have an office where you can be seen at stated hours. V. Keep Your Jollies Out! If you are not invited to a class party, don't be sore. Go and let on you are enjoying yourself. In this manner you may make good the next time. VI. Stand in With the Deans! This is an excellent plan, and go often for a social chat even when uninvited. They do not always ask you by mail when they wish to see you worst. Sometimes the Dean will go home with you when you have called upon her several times. In fact, your staying in school often depends on your stand-in with these officials. This will also help you in being admitted to Talcott or Baldwin. This again is looking into the future. VII. Remember the Oberlin Spirit! This is a rare combination of all aforesaid, but in reality means that you will have to share one man with ten other girls. Put past things in the past and keep an eye on what's coming, but be sure and get it. 279 Hi-O-Hi, '08 Secret Societies fl , 4 r ,li Mil' 5 A ,, , ..,:, 1, M A-K R' ',X ' fi R ciwlfr- NX 4 N, e. .
