Lbenry QE. Liing. Foreword f 'HE first l-ll-O-HI was published in l890 by the Junior class of that year. lts editors, R. A. Millikan and E. H. Abbott, were pioneers in the annual field. In their bow to the public they expressed the hope of the editors and of all loyal sons and daughters of our beloved institution that the Annual had come to stay. lt has a noble career before ilf, ln this the first year of its history it attained considerable size, boasting one hundred and sixty-two pages of reading matter exclusive of advertisements. This was an auspi- cious beginning, and the interest which made it possible guaranteed the permanence and success of the book. What has been the noble career prophesied by the first editors? Between the years l89l and 1907 the annual was published in a variety of sizes and with a constantly increasing number of pages. The year '95 marked a turning point in its history. Rapid evolution had taken place since the first issue and now the college was able to afford a volume of 3l2 pages, well illustrated with photographs and drawings. From that time on each succeeding Junior class maintained a high standard of quality. The organization of editorial and business staff became more and more complex as the demands made by the work grew heavier. Photographs and drawings increased in number and quality, replacing the literary department that in older days had enjoyed such prominence. The annual was finally to become primarily a pictorial, and only secondarily a literary, record. Finally there was evolved the Oberlin annual of recent years, a book that compares favorably with any other annual in the country. During the twenty-five years of its development the l-ll-O-HI has increased in size and complexity almost to the breaking point. It makes demands upon the time and strength of its editors that no one who has not been a member of the board can appreciate. It now employs fourteen men and women for an entire year. The drawing can be done only with the assistance of half a dozen amateur artists. The photographs have become so numerous asto make necessary the election of a photograph editor, who devotes a large amount of time to the su- f pervision of this department alone. Illus- trations of all kinds number nearly eight hundred. The pages of reading matter and illustrations total 368, and the total cost of printing, engraving, and photo- graphing approximates 33,000.00 Surely the thought, labor, and time that represent the effort of the Junior class to record faithfully the life of the college I Hi-0-Hi Office place the HI-O-HI among the foremost of 6 our outside activities. Its impartial portrayal of all aspects of' our scholastic and social life removes it from the realm of merely class interests and makes it the organ of the whole school. As such it has a right to a status different from that which it has had in the past. At present it is isolated from the world of college activity. It has no representation on the Senate, receives no attention from the faculty, and is seldom heard of by the students except during the two or three months preceding the date of issue. Furthermore, each board is compelled to enter upon the work entirely without experience and to spend a large part of the year learning the little details of printing and engraving. It is at present im- possible for one board to benefit greatly by the experience of another. There is a lack of continuity that places a needless burden upon each new editorial staff. Little wonder that the question has been raised-ls the HI-O-H1 worth while? Yet it is worth while and occupies a place that nothing else could fill. It needs only to be put on a sounder basis. To bring the annual work into closer association with other college activities the editor-in-chief and manager of the HI-O-l-ll might be given seats on the lVlen's Senate and its organization incorporated under the U. l... A., the board still to be elected from the junior class. This change would place the annual on a status similar to that of the Review. It would, however, be distinctly the product of the junior class. The U. L. A. would merely conduct elections, examine accounts and exercise a general oversight. To insure greater continuity and efficiency, a permanent office might be secured, a library of annuals and books of instruction accumulated, an exchange department maintained, records kept of the methods employed each year, an official and permanent letter-head adopted, and the new editor and manager given an opportunity to work with the acting board during the busy season of March and April. This year has witnessed a step in the right direction. A conveniently located and well furnished office has not only facilitated the gathering of material and the preparation of copy, but has made possible the collection of annuals published by this and other schools, the solicitation of exchanges, and the keeping of fragmentary records. The working out of a definite policy along the lines indicated would lighten the Work of editing the annual, raise its quality, and assure to it increased usefulness, more enthusiastic support, and wider recognition. ef -T .t lg l ' :I'l'l 1 af- 7 --11' ,. ., V X 0 -if ff ' ill 9 7 'T i 1 1 i i 4 J 'EM' 1 -- kv- ,U V A I L,,,g.4-' 8 , 5 2X L - 5 2 -5-. e, se 5m' 1- T-2 5 5 EE 2 .Esau -:-4254: E is Y : 5 :r s-a ge?--uae: ae?-Zeiss 'pi vb ' 1- r ' mx.,-. , T: .. x11..aF,, .MA 1, 2111- 252--ffl?

JOHN SHIPHERD, while pastor of the Presbyterian church in Elyria, be- came impressed with the great need of gospel preachers and teachers in il he Valley ofthe Mississippi. He resigned his pastorate that he might give his whole time to the plan of founding a college and community for the purpose of training such laborers. Philo P. Stewart, who had been a friend and claifrate at Pawlet, Vt,i returning from missionary work among the Choctaw Indians, joined him at lnilyrizv, and they worked out the plan together. Two sites, one in Elyria and one in Brownhelm, were offered for the enterprise, but neither afforded sufficient room to carry out their ideas. So Mr. Shipherd started off, on horseback, to New l-laven, Conn., a two week's journey, to propose his scheme to Messrs. Hughs and Treat, owners of a large tract of unbroken forest in the southern part of Lorain county. He asked for a gift of five hundred acres for a Manual Labor School, and that nine square miles adjacent to the school grounds might be sold to the colonists for farms at Sl.5O an acre. This, he assured the owners of the property, would bring their land into market. Day after day he called upon these men, experienced in the handling of real estate, without receiving a word of encouragement. But at last, con- vinced that so earnest a man would succeed, they accepted his proposition. Mr. Shipherd then undertook the task of raising funds and securing suitable persons to carry out his great enterprise. Those expecting to become colonists were asked to sign the Oberlin Covenant, consisting o' twelxe articles, pledging themselves to such lives of industry, self-denial, and benevolence as 'conformed to Mr. Shipherdis standard of Christian character. An idea of the whole covenant may be gained from the third and sixth articles: An idea of the whole covenant may be grained from the third and sixth articles: THIRD: We will hold in possession no more property than we believe we can profitably manage for God as His faithful stewards. SIXTH: That we may add to our time and health, monev for the service of' the Lord, we will renounce all the world's expensive and unwholesome fashions of dress, partic- ularly tight dressing and ornamental attire. 9 A log cabin, built by Peter Pindar Pease from Brownhelm, in the spring of IS33, and located near the historic Elm, was the first edifice erected upon the tract allotted to the Oberlin colonists. l-le started a saw and grist mill, welcomed the settlers when they arrived, and pressed forward the work upon the first school building, which received the name, Oberlin l-lall. It was a frame building of two stories and an attic. For a year it was the center of the whole enterprise, the home of students, is LB? teachers, and founders. One large room on the first floor A . V served for school, chapel, and church. f. ' is 'L' I e The second building was a boarding hall, headquarters :FRI Q of the Women's Department, and called Ladies' l-lall. It stood A Y on the northeast corner of the lot on which the second church now stands, and had accommodations for the Stewart family, - K V I sixty young ladies, and sittings inithe dining room for two First Ladies' Hall , , hundred. Ar lirst it was put in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. They had very strict ideas upon the subject of diet, and banished tea and coffee from the tables. Graham bread with gravy was a principal article of food. Meat was served, but the Stewarts approved a purely vegetable diet. It is related that Mr. Stewart once proposed the substitution of parched corn for the graham bread, in order to Hsave something. But the students did not favor the change, and not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart left the boarding hall, deeply grieved that the youth of that generation were so devoted to the flesh pots of Egypt. They went to Troy, N. Y., where after years of poverty and struggle, Mr. Stewart succeeded in giving to the world a cook stove of his own invention, which brought him a moderate fortune and no small renown. He rejoiced in the fact that this stove was most economical in its consumption of fuel. As long as wood was the fuel used, it had no competitor in this part of the country. As yet the College had no president and the church no pastor. Bearing upon his heart these needs of the colony, Mr. Shipherd found his way to Cincinnati and into the home of Rev. Asa Mahan, a brother clergyman, pastor of a Presbyterian church in the city. It was just after the great body of Lake Seminary students had withdrawn from that institution because forbidden to discuss the subject of slavery. The two men conceived the idea of inviting these studentsiuroyal good fellows, as Dr. Beecher had called them-to Oberlin, adding a theological school to the infant college and providing suitable instructors. Mr. Shipherd found in Mr. Mahan the man he had been seeking for the f-Qrrxf - ..-wc -.1 , 4-faxes -rTe'.sf-J:4'i f vu-fi '- f3!r:aQ32i?fL:12f'f f' ,, 'Z-'HL-541545 -T .L:'f5? - 'tT ..-'1ix j-g,,T1-igiislifw f-'wifi'-2351 . - ways.-., ef -sf ,f-14 4- , fag 5:25 f 's w ..1.,,-A-'.3 . z -s-3s1r7ffzff:?.f .--Qt. .

John Keep, chairman of the board of Trustees. Mr. Mahan entered heartily into the new enterprise and accompanied Mr. Shipherd to New York, where they prevailed upon Rev. Charles G. Finney to take the chair of Theology. Mr. Finney was already widely known as a preacher of great elo- quence and power. l-le made his consent conditional upon the opening of the school to colored persons and Mr. Shipherd, after considerable difficulty and delay, secured such action of the Trustees as should meet this demand. Arthur Tappan, a wealthy member of his church, agreed to advance the needed funds for a new building and to pay the salaries of the six professors at 5600.00 a year each. A Mr. Mahan came to Oberlin about Colonial Han the first of May, IS35, and forty of the Lane Seminary Rebels, as they were called, followed the latter part of the month. Hasty provision was made for their reception by building what was called Cincinnati Hall. -lt was constructed of fresh lumber, one story in height and battened on the outside with slabs, so that it came to be called Slab Hall. Mr. Finney and Professor John Morgan arrived in June. Professor Morgan had been an instructor in Lane Seminary. He was a graduate of Williams College, a man of broad culture, winning personality, and greatly beloved as a teacher. The year 1835 was a notable building year. Tappan Hall was erected in the middle of the lot since known as the Campus. It was the first brick building, was four stories in height, providing recitation rooms on the first floor and ninety rooms for students above. It was primarily designed for the home of the Theological Department, but had rooms for other students. Additional quarters were provided in Colonial Hall, built at the same time, a wooden structure, so called because the colonists joined the college in building WORD f it on condition that its chapel, on the first an floor seating eight hundred people, should 4' be used for the Sabbath services. acyl! , Before the building of' the First Church, the crowds attending commencement were ' X accommodated under the big tent, sent from New York by friends of Professor Finney. 1 X It was of circular form, one hundred feet H19 vip, X in diameter, and had a long blue streamer , ,i attached to the ridge pole on which ap- H ru' i t ' t H'ii peared in large white letters the motto: Qf'fg- i lifrivi Holiness to the Lordf' Three thousand The Tent people could be seated in this tent. II -'li' ' 'p it 57 During the same building period, a roomy brick dwelling house arose on the corner where Finney Chapel now stands and another, almost a duplicate, on the Conservatory corner. In the first Professor afterward President Finney lived and died. The other was the home of President Mahan during the fifteen years he remained in Oberlin, and afterward of Professor Morgan. Dr. and Mrs. James Dascomb arrived at the beginning of the first term of school, May, 1834. He came from Dartmouth College, and she from the Seminary at Ipswich, Mass., where she had received instruction from Mary Lyon and , other teachers who afterward founded Mt. l-lolyoke. Dr. and Mrs. Dascomb represented the best culture of Newvlingland. She was principal of the Ladies Department, as it was then called, for many years, and was admirably fitted to form the tastes and manners ol the generations of young women who came under her care. Dr. Dascomb was Professor of Botany, Physiology, and Chemistry, and beside that, being the only physician, he looked after the health of the colony. For his use what was long known as the Old Laboratory was erected, which stood almost on the site of Sturges Hall. This was the second brick building. It was ol one story with rising seats, a skylight over the lecturerfs table, and appliances for illustrating the study of Chemistry. Dr. Dascomb greatly rejoiced in these quarters and was for forty-four years a thorough and successful teacher of the three branches belonging to his department. Dr. Dascomb The following incident illustrates a phase of his character which came to be known to some mischievous boys of the village. A grape vine grew over a window of the Laboratory, which bore fine grapes. The boys annoyed the doctor by taking these grapes without permission. l-le stopped their depredations by putting the college skeleton just inside the window with eyeballs of phosphorous. The college was co-educational from the first, it being pait of Mr. Shipherd's plan to give to the misjudgecl and neglected ,ilgihltf sex such opportunities to improve their minds as were custom- arily accorded only to men. Very few women in the earlier years took the college course: the three who graduated ini l84l were the first in the country to receive the degree of A. B. The women at that time were generally satisfied with the Ladies' Course, a shorter curriculum conforming to that of the best female seminaries. . Mrs. Dascomb Manual labor was part of the early Oberlin plan. The late President Fairchild says: The first year four hours daily labor were required of every student. The manual labor bell rang at one o'clock in the afternoon and each young man repaired to the field or the forest, the shop or the mill for his work, for which he received from four to seven cents an hour according to his efficiency or skill. The young women performed the domestic labor in the boarding hall, for which they received three to I2 I Q do four cents an hour. To equalize matters somewhat, the price of board was seventy-five cents a week for young women and a dollar for young men. When Professor Finney found the chapel of Colo- nial l-lall too small for the growing community, he took occasion to say at a Sabbath service-- Brethren, the Lord's work in this place demands of us a house of wor- ship that will accommodate the people, and whatever the Cabine' H311 Lord's work requires of us we can do. We must build a church. Now come together tomorrow at one o'clock, all of you, and we will talk this over, for it can be done. It was the greatest enterprise the colony had undertaken. ii'lii Professor Finney gave more than any one else. Other professors sub- iii? scribed 5200.00 each, from their meager salaries, and most of Q.. 9 Q 0 them doubled the amount later. It was decided that the building should be plain, but substantial and large, since it was the only it ' ' f f V church in the community. The colonists had little money, but they had willing hearts. Those who had teams hauled loads of brick, ' stone, and lumber over roads which were almost impassable at President Finney times. A year was spent in gathering materials and letting contracts. ln June l842 the corner stone was laid and the commencement of 1843 was held in the church, though it was not quite finished. The building embodied Professor Finney's ideas and he preached in its pulpit thirty years. There was no larger or better audience room west of the Alleghanies, when it was built. Professor Morgan was associated with Professor Finney in the pastorate of the church, usually preaching at the second service and supplying the pulpit in Mr. l7inney's absence. No persons had so large a share in shaping the Oberlin of .fi the past as these two men. Though always warm friends they were , very different in characteristics and attainments. Professor Finney it was not a college graduate, but a man of great originality. He was ,,l' f - . 1 the author of a new system of theology much discussed in the early days of Oberlin. He had had a legal training which made him ii 'fi l , invincible in argument. l-le attacked the sins and shames of the day A without mercy. 'V Professor Morgan was a graduate of Williams college, broad Professor Mwgan in his scholarship and of wide reading. It was said of him that he could give instruction in any branch of the college curriculum with- out an hour's notice, but his sedentary habits were not in accord with the college ideal of Learning and Labor. The fact weighed upon Professor Finney's mind and, as he was wont to bring all his burdens to the Lord in prayer, he offered this petition- O Lord, brother Morgan knows more than any of us, but he is so lazy. Volumes could be collected of President Finney's funny sayings. Many of those reported are no doubt apochryphal, but the following incident really occurred and illustrates - I3 1. - ... . .,,, . ., ..

Allen, who was appointed teacher of Sacred Music in IS37, and later was elected Professor. He had been a pupil of Lowell Mason, of Boston, and was naturally a musical genius, but his compensation was only half a salary, as there was added to his duties, at first, the superintendence of the Preparatory Department and, later, instruction in The Trustees had decided that it piano music. Prof. Allen trained the choir of the church. ln 1841, of this and later concerts paid for of the older professors. He saw provided. was inexpedient for the college to afford instruction in an orchestra of wind and stringed instruments, and led a concert was given at Commencement. The proceeds an organ for the church, the chapel bell, and portraits that pianos were purchased and competent instructors By uniting with the college literary societies, he secured the frame structure known as the Music l-lall, about the size of the Laboratory, which stood on the west side of South Professor Street, not far from the site of Baldwin Cottage. Here he trained classes in vocal music and laid the foundations for the future Conservatory. The Oberlin hymn Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone,', and the tune to which it is sung, which Professor Allen com- posed, have kept his name in remem- , brance among his successive genera- tions oif' students. A new college chapel was completed in IS55. On the first floor were offices, lecture rooms, a literary society room, and a library. The auditorium was on the second floor with the platform at one end, Qld Laboratory I4 1, ...Q 1. sa a 1 The Campus in 1860 in the rear of which was a gallery. It was constructed outside and in like a church, and unfortunately its acoustic properties were poor, until it was reconstructed by throwing out an addition at the side to give a platform for the faculty, and arranging the seats in semicircular rows rising at the back. Every student had then a good view of the stand and could distinctly hear the speaker. It had a seating capacity of only nine hundred and the need of more ample quarters was felt before the fire of l903 destroyed the building. The anti-slavery sentiments of the colonists were widely known. Oberlin was a noted station on the Underground Railroad to Canada. It was a city of refuge from which no fugitive was ever taken back to a life of bondage. In l.858 occurred the Oberlin-Wellington rescue of john Price, from his slave holding captors. This violation of the Fugitive Slave Law was taken bythe owner of John Price tothe Circuit Court of Cleve- land, and indictments were served upon twenty-four citizens of Oberlin and thirteen of Wellington. Fourteen of them, refusing to give bail, were held as prisoners in Cleveland jail for nearly three months. Among them were some of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of Oberlin. Professor H. E. Peck was a member of the college faculty, M. Fitch, superintendent of the large Sunday School, and Ralph Plumb, a lawyer. When the Civil War broke out and Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers, Oberlin was prompt to respond. Slavery was in rebellion against the government and slavery must be put clown. One hundred and thirty students were ready to go, but only one hundred could be received. For two days there were no college exercises. Groups of women gathered in the recitation rooms and made suits of gray cloth for the volunteers. Thus uniformed they were accompanied to the station by almost the entire body of citizens. They were mustered into service as Company C of the 7th Regiment, Ohio I5 Volunteer lnfantry. Their captain was G. W. Shurtleff, tutor of Latin. Nearly one- third of them, with their captain were captured in the first engagement and had a bitter experience of southern prisons. Thirty-one of the remainder lost their lives in battle, seven by disease, and one was drowned. Company C was known in the army as the praying companyf, Each mess had a chaplain responsible for daily worship. Another company from Oberlin joined the 4lst O. V. l., and the Znd Ohio Cavalry was largely made up of Oberlin students and citizens. A. P. Nettleton, O. C., '63, rose from the rank of private to the command of this regiment and at the close of the war was brevetted a brigadier general. wi Q Second Ladies' Hall The second Ladies' l-lall, when opened in 1865, was decidedly the finest of the college buildings. It cost with the furniture of the private rooms, 540,000.00 lVlore,i' safd President Fairchild, than all the buildings previously erected by the college. It stood on the corner of West College and South Professor streets, with a frontage on each of l2l feet. It was of three stories, had accommodations for one hundred young women, and on the first floor a society room, assembly room, and reading room. lr was admirably adapted to its uses and great regret was felt when it was burned down in january, ISS6. President Fairchild described this building as of npleasing aspect. It was the first of' the college buildings of which this could truly be said. lts erection may therefore properly mark the boundary line between the old Oberlin and the new. A brighter day was about to dawn upon the college, a day of better buildings and more adequate equipment, of instructors with more varied knowledge and more liberal views. The present body oi students are enjoying the full radiance of that brighter day. Only by strong effort of the imagination can they picture to themselves the hardships and toils of the pioneers who laid the foundations of the early Oberlin and made possible the growth and enlargement of succeeding years. Others have labored and ye have entered into their labors.',-Mrs. Mary B. Shurtleff. INOTE -The facts in this sketch have been largely gathered from President Fairchild's Oberlin, the Colony and the College anrl Dr. D. L. Leonarrl's 'tThe Story of Oberlin. I I6 05' i is Q5 l 1 b v! . ,Q we m Wi .?A Q gf? 1 '11, , m in HE character of any institution, it is almost trite to say, is judged by the product it turns out, and this is particularly true in regard to a college or other educational institution. Nearly everyone is familiar with the fact that it is not equipment, nor buildings. not the peculiarities of curriculum which make a college, nor even the faculty, but the body of alumni. If this familiar statement holds good for Oberlin College, then it is worth while to take stock of the Oberlin product, and ask who and what are the alumni of Oberlin, and have they made good? From the beginning, Oberlin has laid greater emphasis upon social service, in the broadest sense of that phrase, than upon the achievements of the remunerative professions and business, as ends in themselves. And, while financially the institution would probably be better off if its alumni had more generally gone into money-making, nevertheless, it is probably true that the college glories most in the service its alumni have rendered to all kinds of good causes. In common with most of the privately endowed institutions of the country, Oberlin in the beginning, sent out, in proportion to the number of its graduates, a very large number of men and women into purely religious work-preachers and missionary teachers, and missionaries, and in common with other institutions of the same class, as the years have gone on, the number going into this particular group has lessened noticeably, and other branches of social service, including the fields of medical missions, institutional work, and social service in the strict sense. have all had their quota. In the total number of graduates, teaching has been the preeminent profession. The United States Bureau of Education report of 1912 on the Professional Distribution of College and University Graduates. stated that out of a total of 4,029 graduates from all departments, 1,374 had gone into the profession of leaching. Recent statistics support this statement. For a period of years, approximately forty per cent of the graduating class each year have gone into some kind of teaching, about ten per cent into business, eleven per cent into graduate work, and the balance, in small percentages, are scattered through a wide variety of fields. Probably as I7 I I8 many as twenty-five or thirty-five per cent of the graduates continue for rather extended periods in the teaching profession, many in high schools and colleges, some doing .1 peculiarly unique work, as for example the president of one of our first Correspondence institutions. It would be hard to estimate, also, Oberlin's large contribution to the field of music and musical appreciation. Oberlin has not been, however, without graduates who have made preeminent success in other fields, as for example in the field of surgery the achievements of the late Dr. Dudley P. Allen, '75, would honor any institution of learning. In the field of invention, the work of Elisha Gray in the development of the telephone is noteworthy, and the discoveries made by Charles M. Hall, '85, of the commercial process of reducing aluminum, which has meant so much to so many industries: and John R. Rogers, '75, the inventor of the linotype machine, which has revolutionized modern printing. Among our distinguished representatives in political life, it is quite worthy of note that Oberlin can count among its alumni General Jacob Dolson Cox, '51, distinguished as a soldier and a scholar, as Governor of the State of Ohio, and as an educational executive. It will not be invidious to mention also our distinguished alumnus, Theodore Burton, whose long and unselfish term of service in public life is an honor to Oberlin College from which he graduated in I872. Particularly though not exclusively in teaching, Oberlin's women graduates have made a large contribution, as is illustrated by the fact that Helen Shafer, '63, was a distinguished president of Wellesley College, and that Helen lVlorgan's f'66J thirty-eight years of unique service for the education of the colored race at Fiske University, was recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Many of Oberlin's alumnae are occupying important professorial and other teaching positions at the present time through- out the country. Rather uniquely, too, Oberlin, the first college to give a degree to women, numbered among its early graduates a woman who became distinguished in the ministry, Antoinette Brown Blackwell, D. D., '47. The first director of the United States Geological Survey was an Oberlin graduate, F. V. Hayden, '50, and the director of the last United States Census was Dana Durand, '93, In the field of philanthropy much pioneer work has been done by Oberlin people. The work of Sally Holley, '5 l , in the south is peculiarly unique, and at the present time it is worth noting that Oberlin men have had much to do with the social service development of the city Chambers of Commerce, notably in Cleveland and Minneapolis, and in the development of the federation idea for city charities. An Oberlin man, a pioneer of the work of child-welfare, is at the head of that work in the Sage Foundation. Oberlin may well be proud also of its lawyers in all parts of the country, who are standing con- spicuously for civic righteousness, clean court practice, and-reform in politics. A long list might be made of Oberlin's graduates who have contributed largely to all kinds of community betterment, and who are conspicuous leaders in the religious, social, and philanthropic enterprises of the country. As representative of this important group, the wide-spread influence of Dr. and Mrs. Lucien C. Warner, '65, of New York City, may be mentioned. l 9 The alumni too are the great supporting body of the institution by their gifts, both large and small. Much more than half of' Oberlin's endowment has come from alumni, and it should be increasingly true through the years that the alumni should be the financial support of the institution. The Living Endowment Fund of itself is a matter of great importance. It is probably true, too, that by far the larger proportion of new students who come to Oberlin each year, are directed to this institution by the alumni, particularly the great body of teachers scattered throughout the country, rather than through other influences or direct advertising of any sort by the institution. Undoubtedly it is not only a fact that the country in general judges Oberlin by its alumni, but that upon the alumni also depends the permanency of Oberlin's ideals or any changes which may be made in its educational policy. And there is no influence so directive in the affairs of the college as the concensus of opinion of the alumni body. Not only is this influence exerted directly, but by the large representation which the alumni have in the group of the trustees who manage the affairs of the institution. W. F. BOHN.

Nine out ol' ten of us think that-because we never think about the subject at all. We donit even know what the Trustee committees are, much less who they are and what are their duties. We do not know that there is an Appointment Committee, whose duty it is to provide us with the best professors and instructors availableg that there is an lnvestment Committee, composed of bankers, financiers, and lawyers, whose duty it is to make recommendations lor the preservation and profitable use of the college endowment, that there is a Prudential Committee, made up of the highest administrative officers of the college and several trus- tees, whose action on questions of policy is all-important. We do not know these things. They are not told us in Political Science or in any other course where systems of admin- istration are discussed. And more than this, we never make any effort to End them out. Yet the Trustees are a very important factor in our college life, since with them rests all final direction of policy and dispensation of funds. The time and thought which they devote to the interests of our and their institution warrant our making an attempt to get better acquainted with them through a Trustee section in the annual, where may be pub- lished from year to year interesting facts about these men whom we know only at a dis- tance and whose wise direction we but dimly comprehend.

E - Phi Beta Kappa T last the scholar emerges from the cloud under which for many years he has been living. We are all familiar with this man whom we style the scholar, the student who does clean work, not infrequently gets an UA, and refuses to believe that a C is ua gentleman's grade. We have observed his shamefacedness, his reluctance to expose his studious habits. Do you ask him how he is getting on? l-le tells you hesitatingly that he hopes he will pull through. Why should a cloud ever have rested upon the man who does the work for which the college exists? Well, it must be confessed that he sometimes lacks the elements of popularity. Even when possessed of the social graces, he has not always had time to display them in the innumerable social functions of class and boarding house. Then too, his class work has been a constant irritant. He has cast an unintentional slur upon the rest of us who have been content to get by. So year after year, as we have strolled four abreast along the main walks of our college life, we have brushed the scholar aside, and he has chosen perforce the lanes and back alleys. The scholar's day has dawned. The Administration 'Building is dedicated to the memory of a scholar who rose swiftly to positions of national significance in days of national crisis. As our monthly lectures call to our chapel platform the notable workers of the world, we discover that the great majority of them in their undergraduate days were superb scholars. Happily too, Oberlin is breeding an increasing number of men who, while taking a healthy human interest in athletics, class organizations and social life, have learned to whip these into helpful subordination to the collegian's main task. And now the HI-O-HI, a student publication, does the scholar signal honor, just because he is a scholar. We dare to hope that the day is at hand, when among the photographs adorning our study rooms will be the pictures of those who steadily, doggedly, successfully do their college work and win the scholastic honors they deserve.

A candidate hereafter must clo, in addition to the major work specified for honors, not less than the equivalent of ten semester hours in the Junior and Senior years without credit toward the A, B. degree. It is recommended that this additional instruction be given either in the form of special honor courses or of outside reading and research. After I9I5-I9l6 the degree of A. B. will he given with and without honors, the class of honors being indicated by the terms cum laude, magna cum laude, usumma cum laude. 55 1 The Freshman Tenth I T isa genuine pleasure to offer a tribute of praise and congratulation to the members of the class of l9l8, whose names appear on the Freshman honor roll. To have gained this distinction in a class so large and made up in such large measure of picked students, under new standards, in unfamiliar surroundings, and amid influences that too often prove unduly distracting, is a most auspicious beginning of college life. Ability has here been revealed that, properly developed through the years to come, may reasonably aim not only at the higher collegiate honors, Phi Beta Kappa and a degree with distinction, but also at no inconsiderahle place after graduation among the intellec- tually competent of the land. Toward these ends we may heartily wish for these honor students abiding health, unswerving intellectual integrity, and an ambition that never hastes and never boasts, yet never rests. C. N. COLE.

Chairman Social Committee Senior Reminiscence Ah, distinctly we remember, in that sloppy, wet September, When we first, all weak-lcneed freshmen, knocked upon this college door. We recall that first class meeting, and the Sophomores retreating, When we wore our tight, red sweaters and appeared on Peters' Hoof, When we talked and hung in numbers 'round the recitation door. We were freshmen-nothing more. The next year our class grew stronger, as we stayed in college longer, And we came to find a meaning in that title Sophomore, For the fact is we were working-ah, no more they found us shirlcing, When the proctors came a-lurking, lurking at our study door. Over Chemistry we labored, somewhat harder than before. Over this-K. S. O4. 59 We as Juniors were disdainful-we were free from Comp. so painful. And in spring we were delighted when the rules were things of yore- Yes, indeed, our play was dandyg just ask if we weren't handy When it came to selling candy near th' Elizabethan door. We were rare and radiant Juniors in those happy days of yore. Only Juniors-nothing more. Senior year, bored to extinction, we forsook the class distinction, Cap and gown, and old traditions which were followed years before. For the truth was we were older, and our minds were growing bolder, As we tried to do things bigger than were ever done before, Tried debate and social functions in a. way ne'er tried before. All of this and whole lots more. And so with store of knowledge, greatly increased lore of college, We'll 'go forth and teach all young things what they never knew before. We'll remember Alma Mater, how we wish there was a Pater We could honor with our presence for a term of four years more! How we envy all the Freshmen who can stay here four years more. Alma Mater-nevermore. M. M.,'I5 60 Dora Steward Clemmer . Tau Kappa Epsilon U Charlotte D. Easton The Class of 1915 . . . . . . . . Austinburg,O. Botany , 4,3 Equal Suffrage League Q, 41.

Chairman Social Committee Togo Writes of 1916 HON. MR. EDIT l-li-Low-I-li. Dearfy My Sir: You have clone your respective and humble servant, me, a honor to request that l should write for you a 'iwrite-up regarding our Collegiate Class, I9l 6 by number. First, therefore, l recall not what l ought to declareg and secondly, if l clon't hasten up fastly, the space you so kindly allowed for my employ will be exhausted. Now to commence, we are mournful not to be permitted to bind and drag out any other class during earliest weelc of academic season, but we improved pleasure to intro- duce lhose two lowly classes to field of slaughter, and to entertain them rousingly while they were fleeing to each other with unexcellable vigor and indecorum. We also re- frained from derogatoriating friendish College-mates hy decorating tall-upraised tin pipe on top of l-lon. Hothouse plant, as we used to do last year, just because we most fermently desired to be at leisure with them when all the universe is on fight. So we allow bye-gones to he by-words and to repose at home in graves. 99 It recurs to head, things to last year similar, Cas is expressed glubbly by Germish friendsj It four classic teamp have won champship from basketball,-that game ot fiercest exert of jump and throw, by men of character of abbreviate trousers and bathing suit, to persuade largely round ball to fall in ring. In those, not one struggle out of a .1000 was beaten from us. Likewise in outdoor fight game,--where one army of men try to protect little ball from tiger-like other men,- we won champ. By athletes we are made most pleasantfull. In previous division of year, early following our domestication in this city, we elect to feast freshmeng and so we had picnic when it rained in cellar of lVlen's Bldg. Again, after week full of examining Hon. Prof. to tell them what they had taught us, we had vacation lay-oft. And in it we invite selves and bi-plural ladies to banquet dinner. Here we were addressed with humorous expression by several Hon. Ladies and Hon. Heroesg but we must not here tarry to describe other edibles we participated in on that occasion. And so, you see, some partitions of this season are like past years-and many parts aint Cas you Americans eludej But we remain close allied in a united and single body. We are less unpleasecl than you could anticipate in such a worky, though cheeryful, existence. Hoping you are the same, I may be, One-year-more To-go. J. B.

Assistant Treasurer WVALTER Ross MARVIN . . Chairman Soeial Committee The Log of the Sophomores I-IE word Sophomore is derived from a Greek word meaning wise fool. But when we remember that in olden times fools were more clever than l-:ings and were wont to advise the greatest monarchs without fear, we accept the title with good grace and even satisfaction. For it is better to be a wise fool than a stupid sage. However we were not always called Sophs. It seems but a short time since we wore gray caps and were dubbed freshies, because of an emeraldic hue which we were supposed to possess, but which we ourselves failed to see. But assuming that we did rival nature herself in verdancy, we took that despised color for own and carried it to honor and fame. It is with modesty that we speak of our achievements: but with pride! On that dark, stormy night of yesteryear, when our stalwart youths, clad in gleaming coats of sheeting, marched forth to meet the enemy, did they falter? Nay, verily, the onslaught was terrific. The winds blew and the rains descended, yet we fell upon the enemy, and great was the fall thereof. They bit huge chunks of dust made famous by long lines l03 of noble warriors, and there was weeping and washing of teeth. When the battle was over the injured were carried away in baskets and the day was ours. Another day was ours also, but that, as Kipling would say, is another story. The smoke stack was erected. Its long expanse offered great possibilities for mural paintings. We seized the opportunity and so did the enemy. But we draw a veil over the details as we would have enshrouded the smolcestack, had it been possible. Sufhce it to say that we gave them a most imposing and befitting burial on a most propitious occasion. In athletics we won the class championship in football, baseball, and tennis. And we proved that we were past masters in social affairs, witness the masquerade party of last year. But so much for the freshman year! Altho we did not carry off the championship in football and baseball this year, we were victors in the inter-class track meet and relay race against the freshmen. Contrary to custom we were the winners in the tie-up. With the most terrifying challenge of history, we tore away the off-scourings of a hundred high schools from their meagre mess of mouldy mush in the halls of Hambrosial sustenance and forced the usniveling remnants of a once mighty race to meet grim doom upon the field of battle. Since then we have been a noble example to them by our blameless conduct and scholarly habits. It is not to be expected that they will fully realize the value of this association with us, but unconsciously, they will absorb bits of wisdom that flow from our lips and will be the better for our having been with them. Our policy has been to get acquainted with each other and we have succeeded admirably. Our hikes and social affairs have been characterized by a jolly informality and camaraderie which is conspicuous by its absence in so many gatherings. ln short, we're the finest class that ever wore distinctions. So here's to l9I 7. M. A. W., 'I7. 104 1 ' w f Hamilton Osborn Sheldon Bailey Hudson Williams UFFICERS HENRY B. HuDsoN . ...... . . . President GERALDINE HAMILTON .

Chairman Social Committee The Beginning of History N the fall of l9l4, the members of the class of 1918 gathered from the four corners of this round earth and descended upon Oberlin. Our first official act as a class was the election of officers. The president of the Men's Senate presided in a iatherly manner and gave us a lecture on customs and traditions, most of which we promptly forgot, We then chose our officers and settled down to business. The sophomores may have thought we were as green as the color of the insidious sheet they sent to us by special messengerg but we were not green enough to buy chapel tickets or tickets for the U. R. Stung Transportation Line. The aforementioned verdant and scurrilous sheet challenged the brave and noble class of l9l8, in euphonious and vulgar terms, to vindicate our manhood in battle on the Campus Martius, which is, being interpreted, Rawdon Football Field. The Gods of War smiled on the hosts of l9I 7, and IO7 we were defeated. The sophs, however, did not behave unseemly because of their victory, for soon they entertained us at a stag in the sacred precincts of Caskey's Grove. We were fortunate in our choice of ofhcersg for they all deserve a great deal of praise for their efhcient work. Our president, especially, deserves high praise for removing the dummy from the stack in the face of the bitter, biting, cold north wind. Our social chairman merits much praise for the parties which he has planned and which we have enjoyed. Our treasurer has been active and persistent in his methods for relieving us of our parent's hard-earned cash, yet thru it all he has remained sane and smiling. The men of l9l8 have been rather unfortunate in athletic trials. We won the championship in tennis but have lost out in other branches of sport, in spite of the good teams we have put into the field. We can rely on the members of these teams to represent us on the Varsity and in class games in the next three years. The girls, however, have done fine work in basketball, tying the seniors for the championship. We have proved that we are a class with initiative and daringg our distinction has clone that for us. When we appeared in our classy hats, the whole town wonderedg then rejoiced that the streets would be 'tlit up on dark nights by freshmen hurrying home from the library. Of course, the sophs did not like our feathers, and tried to take our hats, but we still have our distinctions despite the efforts of the Muff Brigaden-formed by the girls of l9I 7. When another fall comes we shall gather again to our Alma Mater, to win our laurels and to train the incoming freshmen. We modestly hope to leave a history which will go down to countless generations of freshmen as a record of a class of unusual ability and ingenuity. M.

HE changes in the curriculum of the Oberlin Academy and in the teaching force, seem to warrant a brief statement as to present conditions. The Academy has registered a sufficient number of students to meet the legitimate budget of the department for the year. The work of the school has been carried on, for the most part, by the experienced teachers who have done the work in former years, so that no deterioration in the quality of the work was to be expected. The standards of former years have been maintained. The various lines of secondary activity have been sustained. The athletic teams have made and met their schedules with varying success. The glee-club has gathered more and better material than for some years, and has maintained a highly successful organization. The debate team has done the usual amount of work. It has studied for an entire term, under able guidance, a question of vital interest, and is no whit inferior in ability to the teams of former years. That form of school spirit which manifests itself in audible demonstration, though at times seemingly dead, has been only dormant. On occasions which called for a demonstration, the spirit has been found to exist in abundant measure. That form of spirit, which finds expression in the faithful performance of every-day work, is no less certainly active. The Senior class is planning to publish an annual similar to that of last year, and if the trifling difficulty of financing the project can be successfully met, they promise a publication, better even, if possible, than the Etean of last year. The class of I9I4 is shedding luster on the school with representatives on the honor list of the freshman class in Oberlin, Amherst, Yale, Pomona, and perhaps elsewhere. It would be difficult and perhaps unwise to attempt a forecast as to the next year. The correspondence with prospective students is now carried on through the office of' the Secretary of Oberlin College, and it is hoped that this expert service, which has done so much for the College, may bring like benefits to the Academy.

Ml f j , I K Mwdsh From a consciousness of their many common interests, from a feeling of conHict between the ever increasing numbers of special organizations, as well as between outside and inside activity in general, the men of Oberlin in 1907 decided to create a new organization, which might seek to realize their common interests and reconcile their conflicting ones. If the demands of the student government have at times detractecl some students from the Hmain business of College to a greater extent than was commensurate with the training in Democracy afforded, the organs of student government have become an increasing factor in moulding student life and in influencing the policy of the administration. The Senate has not yet come to any constant level of operation, nor does it yet fill the position which the exigencies of' the Oberlin situation demand. In its ultimate place it will be more active and more useful than at present. It has not, however, been without accomplishment, for the Football Banquet, the General Pay Day, the Senior Counsellor System, the Auditing System, the Honor System, the better understanding between Students and Faculty,-all these owe their origin to the Senates' activity. Moreover, the time of the Senate's larger and more active usefulness does not seem very far distant. With the developing social life of Oberlin, the opening of the lVlen's Building to more rational use, the increasing athletic facilities, and the general expansion of the college was a result of the great gift, there is no reason why the Men's Senate should not take its proper place of leadership in working out more of the practical problems of the students and in affiliating itself more closely with their vital interests. The situation demands it. And the interested, though discriminating, support of the student body is their clue share in helping the Senate effect it.-M. l-l.

When, in the spring of l9l4, Oberlin was introduced to its new set of regulations, it seemed necessary for it to have a new organization designed to meet the changed conditions. The Women's League is the answer to that need. Its membership includes every woman of the institution, who, on entering, pledges herself to give loyal support to the League, and to the principles for which it stands. The fundamental idea of the League is that of co-operative self-government. While students ought not, because of their inexperience and the demands of the curriculum, to take entire charge of the government of the school, yet the Oberlin College faculty believes in turning over to them a certain share in the control. The administrative division of the League is organized with that theory in mind. It consists of the joint Council, composed of the Women's Board of the faculty, and the Executive Committee of the League, who meet together to take action in cases of discipline, to consider proposed changes in legislation, and to act as the advisory body of the League. The two other specialized bodies under the League are the Women's Senate and the House Government Department. The Senate is made up of thirty women, chosen from the various classes of College and Conservatory, or serving ex-officio. It holds semi- monthly meetings to consider matters concerning the women of the school and to act jointly with the Men's Senate on questions of general interest. Elected from and by the Senate is the Honor Court, which deals with reported violations of the Honor System. The Chairman of the House Government Department is a member of the Senate, who works through the house presidents and a special committee, to supervise enforcement of the regulations enacted for house government. Such, in bare outline, is the organization of the Women's League. lts aim is to arouse a sense of personal responsibility, and by gradation of' restriction, to prepare for an intelligent use of privilege. The League has been called an experiment in the faith and loyal support of the whole student body. Obviously, one year can not work out the possibilities of such an organization. It can only set the wheels in motion and trust to the future for the practical application of its theories and ideals, and for the fuller appreciation of the responsibilities and the privileges which it involves.-M.

Several changes were made in the plan this year, and new ideas and improvements are being introduced as a result of practical experience in its actual working out. The counsellors are now chosen by election, fifty men serving instead Of the former smaller number. Closer co-operation with the college oflices and the Dean is being established, and a better acquaintance with the men developed. The committee helps in supplying some of the means and an occasional stimulus toward activity, but real success depends upon the men themselves, their individual interest, initiative, and activity. This year there was some inefficiency in the system that could not very well have been avoided. The resulting experience, however, is sure to help toward next year's success. Although it is by nO means perfect as yet, still we may be sure that steps have been made toward an ultimately perfect system that will thoroughly accomplish the aims toward which it is strivingg helping the men in their first year at school, and thus eventually aiding in the development of a better and more efficient college, indirectly, through them.-H.

Q Before 1913, when the Senior Counsellor plan was inaugurated, the bewildered Freshman was left to travel alone the devious and diflicult pathway of her Freshman year. Now all is changed. From the very hrst, each Freshman girl has a Senior Counsellor to whom she can turn in any difficulty. Late each spring, fifty of the next year's Senior class, are chosen by ballot to be the counsellors for the incoming Freshmen. Each counsellor has four or five Freshman girls as her special charge for the whole year, to help or to be helped in whatever way possible. This year, for the first time, a chairman of the Senior Counsellors was elected, who also presided over a Freshman Council. This council is composed of twenty-nine representative Freshmen, chosen by the Freshmen themselvesg one or two from each boarding house, according to the size Of the house. The aim has been to have a meeting about every three weeks for informal discussion of whatever is or should be vital to every girl entering college for the first time. Thus each year brings one step nearer the fulfilment of the deep significance of the Senior Counsellor.-C. W. Senior Counsellors, 1914-1915 CHARLOTTE WVEATHERILL. Chairman M. PEARL ALDRICH RUTH E.

So seldom, however, is this function exercised that the Board must find other reasons for its existence. The natural function of the lVlen's Board is to care for the men's interests. ln the Conservatory, a student's Work is in a great degree, individual, since many spend but two hours a week in a classroom with other students. There is the natural lack of social unity, especially among the men. This year's lVlen's Board saw this need and planned a series of informal gatherings at which all Conservatory men' might meet. Different members of the Conservatory and College faculties spoke to the men on subjects of interest to any musical student. This gave the students opportunity not only to meet each other, but also to meet and hear teachers of the different departments. It is hoped that from the irregular meetings of this year, there may grow an organization of music students, similar to the college literary society. ln such an organization the educational as well as the social factors would be combined and would meet a need of all Conservatory men. l-l. l-l. 136 4 w ll KA SP IT ltr LQ. A spirit of co-operation has characterized the work of the Y. M. C. A. this year to an extent perhaps never before known. lts membership alone, which numbers 440 including some of the men of the village Business College, is an evidence of this. Strengthened by this co-operative spirit, the Association has been able to make some very definite achievements as a result of the work of the year. First among these is the new Promotion Committee in which forty men voluntarily gave their services in promoting at various times the different interests of the Y. M. C. A. among the men of the institution. Then, too, the Employment Bureau was able up to Christmas vacation to place I35 men in employment to the value of SL345. 35. The l500 l-land Books,which were distributed among the students at the beginning of the year, were published by a joint committee of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. There are six boys' clubs in Oberlin with a total membership of IOO. These are all, with the exception of Mr. Ci. C. Wood's clubs, conducted by Y. M. C. A. men, and in the case of the two under Mr. Wood, assistance is given by Y. M. C. A. men. During the Christmas vacation, and one week end, Z7 men went out on Gospel Deputation Teams, reaching the people of five different villages and communities. The six men in Outside Religious work are actively connected with the work of various Sunday School and Association groups in and near about Oberlin. The Social Committee has contributed very largely to the social life of the men through its numerous stags, mixers, and social gatherings of the year. And, moreover, all of this does not take account of the men who have assisted in many ways in the work of Bible Study, Mission Study, Academy, Student Counsel, Music, and Religious Meeting Committees. These are but the concrete evidences of the practical efforts of the Y. M. C. A. to realize its purpose of developing and maintaining the Christian life among the men of Oberlin.-N. B.

One of its big purposes has been to unite the women of the institution in a growing comradeship and in a deepening loyalty to Jesus Christ. The big picnic with its camp-fire, stunts, Heats, and fun, the teas on the campus, the Financial Campaign, the Bible-study classes, the Bible-study luncheon, and the ufrolicn in the gymnasium-each of these has served to bring us one step nearer the realization of our two-fold purpose. The Bible-Study classes and the Financial Campaign deserve special mention. Bible-study has been very significant because, through the use of the new Association text book, Student Standards of Action, the young women have discovered that the Christian spirit is a sane workable basis for the solution of the problems of student life. The Financial Campaign was again a success in securing necessary funds for Association work. lts most significant result, however, cannot be stated in facts and figures. This year, the Campaign became a great socializing force among the girls. It served not only to give them a new and growing interest in the work of the Association, but also to stimulate and spread the friendly spirit which had come among them during the opening days of school. The practical work this year has included the preparation and distribution of dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas timeg sending a well-packed Christmas box to the Christmas shipg a great many visits made to elderly ladies and invalids, classes in sewing and basket- ball at the Centennialg and the improving of the rest-room in Peter's Hall. The Employ- ment Bureau has furnished work amounting to 52,350.00 All these factors have made the work this year in the Young Women's Christian Association unusually successful, and have been a long step toward the realization of the Association's ideal to serve as a laboratory in which practical experiments in Christian living may be carried on, with the large results of a growing comradeship among the girls and a deepening loyalty to the cause of Jesus Christ.-l...

Executive Secretary Oberlin, true to her spirit, would give of her life more fully than she receives. She would have sufficient imagination rigorously and generously to heed the summons where- ever it sounds, whether from within or from beyond the shores of the nation, for the sharing even of her life blood. lnto every corner of the homeland thousands of her men and women are, with eagerness and effectiveness, pushing her life. Oberlin does not, however, forget the life demands of her more remote field. Withirr her midst, a considerable company of her students are preparing themselves that they may sail to engage in the great task of communicating something of her spirit and power to our brothers beyond the sea. This company is the Student Volunteers. With more than two hundred from her previous generations, Oberlin already is manning the foreign arm of her service. The fresh recruits, who in recent months have gone forth to the reinforcement of this far-Hung battle line, are as follows: RALPH l... ABRAHAM, Sem.

Adviser To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life, says Robert Louis Stevenson. With such a purpose, the men of Theta have come together. As a small group of men we have made no great impression upon the life of the institution. Our aim has been to meet as men who are not satisfied with our present ideas, but are eager to have a broader, more comprehensive outlook on life. During the past year, we have faced the deeper questions and ideas which come to the college man. With the intention of gaining clearer ideas and convictions, we have discussed the Christian's conception of C-od, Christ, the Church, and other problems which all must consider. Parallel with these discussions and supplementing them, we have taken up live social and moral questions of the hour. With the purpose of growing and improving ourselves for service in various walks of life, the members of Theta have aimed to face all problems squarely. Our ideal has not been popular attention, but rather association with other men for the purpose of broadening our lives and seeing the true side of life.4l-l. C. M. I44 F -I X, JJ. f.

There we see the students eagerly laying a solid foundation for the uplift of their nation. Because of the efficiency of the work accomplished under our supervision, the Government of Shansi has given the schools official recognition and has placed the Governor's seal upon the diplomas of this year's graduates. Many of the Government schools are closing because of lack of funds, and their educators are turning to the Christian schools for help. One of China's statesmen has written: lf the Mission schools can continue to keep in the lead, in the coming years, they will forestall the agnosticism and materialism of lndia and Japan.

J ,. airs' Pavilion in the Court Yard The power of the Shansi Memorial Academy is felt for hundreds of miles in diameter. Her greatest hindrance is the lack of buildings and equipment. How long can six persons sleep in a room built for two? l-low long can they remain in buildings crumbling to pieces because money is lacking to keep them in repair! They need buildings such as you see here. The boys have no dormitory, no gym- nasium, only the sky above, and the dirt floor beneath as a place of sport, summer and winter. They need an industrial plant where they can weave, tan hides, and make gloves and shoes to earn their clothing and books. There are IZ6 students in the Academy, 48 of these are receiving aid: 8 are helped by Fen Chow: 7 by the Tai Ku church: 7 by scholarshipsg and l l by the missionaries. The rest Oberlin is doingg paying for teachers' salaries and helping in the general budget of the pnmary schools, which is an immense factor for the efficiency of the advanced pupil. Oberlin is helping over 800 boys. These boys know that many of the students in Oberlin are working to help educate them. They both understand and appreciate all that is being done for them. This is our great opportunity.-MRS. ALICE M. WILLIAMS. Wang Hou Shan J. B. Wolfe H. H. K'ung Chen Yu Shan I46 p-- ,Y L. ,.. mnnn 3 T' MM f li A S f ury f- f, fl?

J Vo ri A J V tio L f , 159 - fqyeft-gg-ee E1 lil The Union Literary Association is undoubtedly the most unique of all college organizations both in range of interests and in its very character. It is a corporation under the laws of the State of Ohio. It derives its membership from that of the various literary societies, and its officers are by custom, seniors in college. The following activities show the purpose of the association: in making the eight literary societies parties to its structure, the association unites these societies in the active furtherance of their literary purposesg the corporation publishes the Oberli.n Review and the Literary Magazineg it promotes oratory and debate: and conducts a high-class lecture course. Turning now to separate consideration of these interests, we see that work in all the societies during the past year has improved. The plan for woman's intersociety debates this year gave place to a general intersociety program and an oratorical contest. The Oberlin Review and the Literary Magazine, while highly successful from an editorial standpoint, are at present a source of financial anxiety to the U. L. A. The two publications have been placed under separate financial management, in the hope of helping the financial situation. Varsity debating was this year conducted without judges. The experiment was notably lacking as a success, and will undoubtedly not be tried again. lm- provements in the by-laws for oratory have given greater assurance of its success. The most successful interest of the U. L. A. this year has been the lecture course. With the price of course tickets reduced to one dollar, and with an exceptionally high-class course, the chapel has been filled for every number. ln general, the Union Literary Association's more vital problems are due to its ever deepening interests. It is not unlikely, therefore, that a solution of present difhculties will mean for the association a still more dehnite place in the college affairs.-C. M. V. Dec. 2 1914 U. L. A.

WARNER . . . . Treasurer Program, 1914-15 One of the aims of a literary society, is to afford opportunity for experience in speaking before an audience. Poise, rapid thinking, and good presentation of a subject, can perhaps best be experienced through extemporancous speeches and parliamentary drill. Accordingly, this year, the number of extempores has been increased and more attention has been given to parliamentary drill. That each member might make her best individual contribution in the prepared work, the society was divided into three groupsg Literature and Art, Science, and Sociology. These groups have had charge of the programs, each for a third of the yearg members have presented subjects in which their interest was greatest, and a critic for each group, with a broad knowledge of the work presented, has sought to give constructive critiques. The programs have been composed of debates, original stories, dramatic readings, and addresses and papers on subjects appropriate to each group. Such a plan has enabled each member to give her best and to receive the best a literary society-in our interpretation of the term-can offer.-G. R. F.

Treasurer Program, 1914-15 We call the man a genius who discovers that there has been lurking among the elements of life, which men call commonplace, one of the Seven Wonders of the world. Now everyone will agree that the variety of wonderful things which Oberlin bestows upon its students can be equalled in few places. Where, but in Oberlin, would you find January days so balmy that even the Senior thinks of the spring days of his childhood and of his bag of marbles, or hours in May when the professor puts on his overcoat, and thinks, Surely, the north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow?', Among these unusual elements, there are, however, some which even we call ordinaryg and it has required three years for me to discover that to the list of wonders should be added the literary society program. Wonderfully and fearfully made are those subjects for papers and orations which drive terror to the heart of the society member. Aelioian has this year, however, realized the wonderful rather than the fearful aspects of its program: for a plan which we have called the group system, has permitted each member to work upon subjects which interested her most. The meetings led by the literature group were spent in the study of such modern novelists as Joseph Conrad, Gerhart Hauptmann, and Selma Lagerlofg and the great present-day poets of England, France, and Germany. The science group investigated such subjects as Darwinism, Eugenics, and Physical Training in the schools: while our sociologists gave reports on subjects from the housing conditions in Chicago, to the latest results of woman suffrage. The art and music lovers completed the year with a month's study of the fine arts. True to their motto, Aelioian members are hoping to become still better light bearers as the years roll on.-E. L.

Treasurer Program, 1914-15 Phi Alpha Phi has studied, this year, the representative modern dramas of the following countries:--France, Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, England, and America. Two meetings were devoted to the dramatists of each country except England and America, which had six meetings each. The roll calls were variedg sometimes interesting items con- cerning the country then being studied, sometimes favorite quotations, stage anecdotes, and events of modern social interest. Beside the regular programs, consisting of extempores, papers or readings, parliamentary drill and business, one evening was given over to a talk on the modern drama by Professor Sherman, and at the Christmas meeting held at Keep Cottage, a clever little play was presented by some of the members. In most of the papers a short review of the play as a whole was given in order to acquaint the members with the plot, then some definite phase was discussed, as, for instance Galsworthy's Strife and the Labor Problem of Today, The Greatest value of Kindlingf' The Symbolism of Pelleas and Melisandef' and Man and Superman as a Social Satire. Considering the work of the year as a whole, it has given us, not a detailed study of a few plays, but a wide acquaintance with the best work that is being done today, and has proved conclusively the vital importance of modern drama.-C.

Treasurer Program, 1914-15 An epidemic of modern drama seems to have broken out among the women's literary societies of Oberlin, this year. Sigma Gamma was one of the three societies that chose this fascinating subject for study. We have gone at it in a more or less detailed manner. Beginning with modern English drama, including the work of Shaw, Wilde, Jones, and Kennedy, we next studied contemporary French drama, as represented by Rostand, Brieux, Bernstein, and Lavedore. We appreciated Irish drama more thoroughly for the fact that the Irish Players had recently demonstrated so plainly its beauty and value. The German drama was studied through the plays of Hauptmann, Sudermann, and Wedekind. The most enjoyable evenings of the year were spent on lbsen and his fellow Scandinavian dramatists. Professor Dickinson added an extra touch of culture by giving us an appreciation of Grieg's Peer Cynt Suite, in connection with our study of 1bsen's play of the same name. Over Russian, Belgian, and Italian drama, we passed rapidly, leaving plenty of time for a thorough survey of the work of our native dramatists and dramatic tendencies in America, today. The work of William V. Moody and Josephine P. Peabody received special attention. Our year has proved a profitable one. What is more important, it has been an enjoyable one. The standard of our literary productions has been higher than usual, we believe, and we have taken genuine pride in our meetings.-A. M. H. 163 n ge J.

First, lbsen was taken up quite thoroughly and then followed meetings devoted to the lives and dramas of Maeterlinck, Hauptmann, Sudermann, and of the Irish and modern English dramatists. Considerable emphasis was given also to native American drama. Throughout the year's work, the aim has been to know thoroughly the dramas and characteristics of a few dramatists rather than to have a superficial knowledge of many. Addresses, papers, discussions, and readings were used in the course of the programs. The dramatizing of selected scenes was found both interesting and profitable. On each program was an original number. This was not along the line of the drama, but varied according to the interests of the individual giving it. Very creditable bits of verse and narrative were presented together with a number of essays on current day subjects. This original work was of value because it always contained that revelation of personality which comes from a genuine interest in the subject presented.--D. A.

Allen The Northern Oratorical League Oberlin is a charter member of the Northern Oratorical League, which was organized in June l89l. The League, as at present constituted, comprises Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, Northwestern, Minnesota, Illinois, and Oberlin. The annual contest is held on the first Friday in May and comes in succession to each institution. It is estimated that the League reaches directly, through the Universities comprising it, more than twenty-live thousand students yearly. The influence of its annual contests upon the formation of ideals in public speech throughout the northwest cannot be doubted. Any Oberlin student who wins the right to represent his college in the N. O. L., may be sure of a competition worthy his supreme ellortg for the men he will meet are the oratorical flower of these great institutions, and are chosen from a large number of aspirants for the honor. The l-lonorable Frank O. Lowden, lowa, '85, in l90l endowed the League, so that a first prize of one hundred dollars, and a second prize of fifty dollars is annually available for the encouragement of the interest. While this incentive was not needed, yet it has proved an additional attraction to many seeking oratorical honors. Oberlin may well cherish the opportunity afforded by membership in this splendid organization. There should always be a goodly number preparing for the event that decides who shall be the representative in the stirring contest where only men of power may hope to attain. WILLIAM G. CASKEY.

JELLIFFE NOTE :-For the first time in the history of the Ohio Intercollegiate Debating League and, so far as known, for the first time in the history of any such league, there was tried this year the experiment of holding debates without the rendition of decisions. The feeling has been that the importance of the judges' decisions was being over-emphasized. The abandonment of such decisions was an effort toward securing better and freer debating upon the real issues involved in the question. l68 Raymond Mayer Wolfe de Laubenfels Reserve vs. Oberlin Amasa Stone Chapel, Cleveland, Ohio, January 19, 1915 OBERLIN-AFFIRMATIVE.

ROREM, '16 In a college community such as Oberlin it is difiicult to publish news that is not already known to the public. From a news standpoint the paper is chiefly valuable as a chronicle of events that have passed and as a calendar of events yet to take place. In this direction accuracy and timeliness are the prime essentials. The Review has kept these two particulars in view as news ideals toward which to strive. The present policy of the Review is to regard the interests of the college as of prime importance above and beyond the chance of publishing an occasional scoop. The ideal purpose of a truly great newspaper is to direct public opinion by means of the discriminating publication of current news. It would be impossible for any college journal to function according to the above qualiflcation if it did not regard the highest interests of the college with which it is afliliated. Another matter of policy which the Review has sought to establish is the publication of critical estimates of college tendencies and happenings. Editorially, the paper has endeavored to express an honest opinion that would at least call for honest disagreement. C. K. M. 171 McQueer .

MCQUEER, '16 The Oberlin Literary Magazine is one of the publications of the Union Literary Association. lts chief purpose is to afford a medium for the expression and the cultivation of the literary ability of the students of Oberlin College. It is, therefore, to be neither considered nor criticized as a business proposition. lts friends believe that in time it will pay for itself and will hold up its head as a financial success. At present, however, that is not to be demanded of it. It has grown steadily since it first appeared seven years ago, as the Oberlin Monthly. Then it was a sixteen page pamphlet containing a few sketches and bits of verse. Now it has doubled the number of its pages and has increased their size. With no financial encouragement, and under the often unfair criticism of people who look for pecuniary returns alone, it maintains a satisfactory subscription list, and a growing number of firm friends and allies. It makes no -apology for its existence. It was founded in response to a felt need for a literary publication. It demands fair consideration of both readers and writers. Given these, The Oberlin Literary Magazine will soon prove its worth and its right to a place in the college activities.-E. C.

In-L4 , A ilggfi NYM A The Christmas Trip The Christmas trip of the C-lee Club extended into the northwest: through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota, almost to the border of Wyoming, and back through Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. During the three weeks the club traveled over three thousand miles and gave eighteen concerts in seven different states. The two days in Minneapolis were among the most pleasant remembrances of the entire trip. The club sang at an invitation concert before the Minnesota Oberlin Association and their friends, and on Sunday at two of the finest churches in the city. Minneapolis justified its reputation as a center of Gberlin spirit and enthusiasm. The famous Black Hills of South Dakota were visited under perfect weather conditions, and the bracing air and magnificent scenery of the hill country made the stay of the club seem all too short. Among the noted places visited on the trip were the State Capitol at Pierre, S. D., the Government Indian School at Rapid City, S. D., the l-lomestake Gold Mine at Lead, S. D., and the Big Benn factory at La Salle, Ill. After giving one of the best Home Concerts in its history, the club traveled east during the Spring vacation, giving concerts at Ashtabula Harbor, O., Syracuse, N. Y., Rochester, N. Y., Montclair, N. J., Bridgeport, Conn., and New York City. The club spent nearly a week in New York City, enjoying the hospitality of the alumni and taking in the sights of' the metropolis. The climax of the trip and undoubtedly the greatest single event of the Glee Club year was the concert and reception at the Waldorf- Astoria, where the club were guests of honor at a banquet of the New York alumni. During the year several concerts were given in towns near Oberlin,-at Brownhelm, Wellington, Wakeman, and Norwalk. The success of the club has been largely due to its director, Jack Wi1'kler, who has the rare faculty of welding a group of men into a musical unit, capable of singing a large variety of music with spirit and a high degree of artistic finish. He produced a club which a musical critic has proclaimed the best college glee club that it is possible to hear. -M. P. L. I78 , 1 x nf. wing: Q is ' Q Ji jf L' ,wx F' 2 , Fauver Jeffery Tillotson L.

BASTEL Snare Drum H, C. CHENEY Dr. George Whiteiield Andrews The hgure of Professor George Whitefield Andrews, which is here presented, is that of a man whose ability, character, and service have long done honor to Oberlin College. His activities are numerous, and in all of them he has shown the same scholarly attainment, the same executive skill, the same tireless energy, the same devotion to the highest ideals. As teacher of composition and organ playing in the Conservatory, conductor of the Musical Union, conductor of the Conservatory Orchestra, and organist of the Second Church, he holds a peculiarly responsible position, and is certainly one of the most essential pillars of our structure of musical education and practice. Professor Andrews is most widely known outside of Oberlin as an organist, and there can be no question that he ranks among the ablest organ players in America. He has been engaged for recitals upon the great organ of the Panama Canal Exposition at San Franciscog he received similar recognition in connection with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, he has made many extended concert toursg his advice is often sought in the purchase and construction of organs. A reward for his patient and devoted service has now come to him in the form of two splendid new organs, in the Finney Chapel and the Second Church, which will speak to the community with their utmost resources under his master hand. It was said of Sebastian Bach that he never had an organ that was worthy of him. This could have been said until now of Professor Andrews. But his progress has never been checked by his disadvantages, and he enters upon a new stage of his brilliant career with powers matured, and with the respect and affection of the whole Oberlin public.

COWDERY The fifty-fifth season of the Oberlin Musical Union was one of marked success in artistic achievement. At the Union's two greatest public performances, the May Festival concerts, the program consisted of Verdi's Requiem,' and The Children's Crusade by Pierne. Both of these works were remarkably well rendered by the Union and very discriminating critics volunteered the opinion that the rendition of the very difficult Pierne Oratorio marked the highest point of achievement ever reached by the Union. When one considers the splendid work of the Oberlin Musical Union and the contribution which it has made for over half a century to the culture and enjoyment of generations of students and to the Oberlin Community, it will be a disturbing thought to know that various conditions have threatened the organizati0n's very future existence. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the entire college and the community will rally loyally to the support of the Union and make its success financially, as well as musically, assured. The coming of the new organ in Finney Memorial Chapel ought to make it possible for the Union to give concerts more frequently throughout the year. If these concerts prove as successful and as interesting as those given in the earlier years of the Musical Union, there will be no doubt as to the continued service which the Union will be able to contribute to the life of Oberlin College.

Yeatsl, the Playboy of the Western World M. Syngej, The King's Threshold B. Yeatsl, Riders to the Sea M. Syngel, Spreading the News fLady Gregoryj, The Well of the Saints M. Syngej, and The Rising of the Moon fl..ady Gregoryli Mr. and Mrs. Charles Douville Coburn and their excellent support in Percy Mackaye's beautiful and poetic Jeanne d'Arcg a dramatic reading by Edith Wayne Matthison Cscenes from The Tempest and Hamlet, the Sonnets and Maeterlinclfs Sister Beatrice, g and George Bernard Shaw's brilliant, modern comedy, You Never Can Tell, with an all-college cast. Perhaps the chief undergraduate interest during the year centered in the staging of You Never Can Tell. For the first time in the history of Oberlin dramatics a modern play was attempted, and for the first time a cast was selected from the college as a whole with the three upper classes and the conservatory contributing to the roles. The Oberlin Alumni Magazine commented upon the performance as follows: 'iAs was to be expected of so representative a cast the acting was of a high order. ln class plays one or two members of the cast may focus the attention and raise the level of the entire per- formance, but it is too much to expect that any one class will contain enough dramatic ability to present satisfactory interpretations of every part. ln the Association play, however, this came very near being the case. The level of the acting was unusually high, and the result was an extremely agreeable performance. ln so successfully inaugurating the dramatic traditions, therefore, the production of l9l4 must be recognized as having established a new level of attainment to which all following performances should aspire. l93 DOLLY CLANDON .

Adviser Never before, in the history of the world, was there such a significant organization as the Cosmopolitan Club which is organized in something over thirty of our American institutions where there are a number of foreign students. The motto, Above All Nations Humanity, constitutes a program for which the world stands in indescribable need. The Oberlin chapter has a membership of about fifty foreigners and twenty-five Americans. The foreigners represent fifteen national groups of which eleven are engaged in the present European war. The object of the club is to develop acquaintance and sympathy between people who have little in common, and perhaps were separated by traditional antipathies. The American students make it possible for them to come into somewhat closer contact with American ideals. The primary method of the club is social. It is difficult to realize the limited social opportunity of the foreign student in America, and an effort is made to have at least half the bi-weekly meetings social. The other meetings are lectures or national nights, which help to clarify misunderstandings. The importance of the foreign students and the Cosmopolitan Club to Oberlin, and to the American student is probably greater than to the foreign students themselves. In the very intricate social problems of America, arising from so many alien groups, under- standing and sympathy are absolutely essential to their solution. These are problems which no one can escape and many errors can be avoided if American students will avail themselves of every opportunity to become acquainted with those whose historical background is very different. America faces two grave dangers in the future: the problem of international relations, and a tendency to snobbishness. These dangers can both be mitigated by a more general familiarity with the purpose and spirit of the Cosmopolitan Club. HERBERT A.

Its membership consists of men interested in Geology, Chemistry, and Physics. It was organized in the fall of l9l3. and has just completed one very successful year of existence. During this time, the society has well lived up to its motto, Know Nature. It has done much to fulfill its purpose of broadening the field of scientific knowledge among its members. Papers and talks of a high order have been given. Different phases of the scientific held world have been studied, ranging from the purely theoretical to the practical application of scientific principles in commercial and industrial processes.-G.

Social Chairman Were we boolckeepers we could turn to our accounts with the College departments and organizations and frequently find the balance heavily to our debit, but we gladly feel that our credit columns would not always lag behind. We might parade the general service our faculty renders: note our banqueting occasionsg remember such speakers as Dr. Herring, brought here by usg rejoice in Cary's success with High football: be gratified at our voices lifted in choirs and choralsg humbly forget chaplain services, and remind House basketball of victories pro and con! Paraded not with pride, but to justify our feeling of kinship with greater Oberlin. The Union has a life within itself. That is why it has a life to share. The better halves of the Union's married minority, and the small but genuinely respected co-ed member- ship, are organized in the l.,eaven Club. The Seminary Union is able to manifest external energy because of internal generation in Council Hall,-in class rooms, some- what, in study hours seconclarily, in night frolics and stunt occasions primarily. For example,-the cannon ball's bowling thunder, and O Shaw l-lall's pointed malediction. C We do not take ourselves so seriously as in our frivolous moments we seem, nor so lightly as in our solemn moments it appears. Certainly neither so seriously nor so lightly as this creed would infer. Hear: We are glad we are in Oberlin to share in the give and take of Oberlin life-and to join always in the good old l-ll-O-l-ll. --W. l. 202 l - e E EE: 'iii ijgvvi Q TfQiEl i 5 ,f:ti'iQTj'--Q . s et s e rs ti- ?-fra--it 153 fi ' Q Ezwi- QE?-:le A-- 5 5-' i-773g-0235 gg i E E iQii25Q5e.M.1g jigx g - J-fe gg I .rg R ,E .f ' f - f' lg' ff, if, Q !lfQKJ9L,.---f-5 i 7 OFFICERS LACY Siivuvis ..... ..... ......

Treasurer The Oberlin Press Club is an organization of college men and women interested in journalism, practically and theoretically. The club wires and mails news to approximately sixty dailies and journals in America. Though one of the smallest of the many under- graduate activities, it is undoubtedly the most powerful exponent of the college to the general public. The faculty advisers are Professor P. D. Sherman, Professor Stiven, and Secretary G. Nl. Jones. Every Tuesday and Friday the active members meet in their office and the assignment editor pools the news. Every field of college news of interest to the general public is handled: new buildings, society, athletics, personals, dramatics, music, finance, faculty legislation, student activities, etc. Many of the most enterprizing newspapers in the United States have signified their willingness to receive, and in fact are receiving Press Club news. A particularly attractive feature of the club is in the joint meetings of the active and associate members every two weeks, to hear addresses by leading newspaper men, and to discuss various phases of practical newspaper work: sport, editorial, telegraph dispatches, Sunday supplement stories, human interest features, etc. This year, the club held a banquet at the Park Hotel, entertaining the most eminent newspaper men and women of the state. Each semester, a friend of the club offers a prize of S10 to the student having the rnost copy in print. During the first semester of this year the club scored over six thousand lines of print. To give opportunity for actual experience for those who anticipate definite journalistic fields, to give theoretical instruction to those interested in the mechanics of news writing, to place before the reading public authoritative Oberlin college information, is the three-fold purpose of the Press Club.-R.

Chairman Play Committee The work of Der Deutsche Vereinf' extending over a period of seven months, is planned primarily to develop the ability of the students to speak conversational and idio- matic German fluently, also to promote a better understanding of German manners and customs. In its informal, yet methodical, sessions, it offers a useful supplement to the class- room work. The club is in session every Wednesday from four to five. The greater part of the hour is devoted to conversation in groups, under the l..eitung of the leaders, while the rest of the time is taken up by the entire club in the singing of German songs, or by some special music. Members of the club also take part in the German play which is presented annually. Last year, members of the club very successfully gave the performance of Moser's Der Bibliothekarf' a four act play intensely and wholesomely humorous, and at the same time full of idiomatic expressions commonly used in the German language, ln presenting the same, the club has made a serious effort to present something both worth while and amusing. Thus in a variety of ways, there is afforded sufficient opportunity to make progress, both in the understanding and in the actual practise of the German language.-M. H.

Assistant Treasurer Program Secretarv For the student who has had at least one year of French, the Circle Francais offers a splendid opportunity to acquire ease in reading and in conversation. The purpose of the club is just that: to help the student in the classroom reading and to make him more familiar with the French language both in matter of pronunciation and conversation. Practise in these two things helps the student to do away with the embarrassment of con- fessing that he has studied French for two or perhaps even three years and yet cannot speak the language with any degree of fluency. The club meets regularly every Wednesday afternoon in the French seminar room in the library. The meeting lasts from four to five. One meeting a month is devoted to a purely social program. Scenes from famous French plays are either read or acted by the members of the club. The remainder of the social program is taken up with musical selections by conservatory students. During the weekly meeting besides the regular business, interesting and humorous anecdotes and games compose the program. The French Club extends a cordial invitation to visitors and students desiring to join the club.-L. Di L. 205 Amstutz J. P. Dunn W. S. Yocom Giauque A. H.

Treasurer The Oberlin Varsity Club is composed of men who have won the athletic O in any sport. The purpose of the club is to organize the wearers of the On: to deepen the appreciation of the O privilegeg to promote genuine athletic spiritg to bring the men together sociallyg to act as an advisory body in athleticsg and to extend Oberlin interests abroad. This organization made its first appearance in the Spring of 1914 by assisting the engineering of the canvass of Oberlin for the beneht of the new Athletic Field. Later, on Monday noon of Commencement Week, Hobbs' banquet room was the scene of a Reunion Dinner at which athletes of other days joined with those of today in a social way. During the present year another phase of activity has been taken up. When visiting high school teams play in Oberlin, the Varsity Club informally entertains the members of those teams at a gathering of some form, the purpose being to spread abroad the Oberlin spirit, and to awaken in high school men an interest in college life.-W.

Every girl who has won her varsity sweater thereby becomes a member of the club. It was organized this year with only ten charter members, but the number greatly increased after the basketball season. The purpose of the club is the encouragement of women's athletics in Oberlin. To this end, the O, C. Club hopes to keep in touch with all the girls who have been interested in athletics during their college course. It hopes in the future to provide some permanent and public record of the wearers of the UO. C. This record may take the form of a bronze tablet in the Dickinson House, but the question is not yet decided. The club intends also, as far as possible, to increase the respect for the UO. C., and to make it a worthy reward for the hard work necessary to win it. A resolution has already been passed, forbidding the wearing of a sweater by anyone but a club member, with a loss of membership to the girl who lends her sweater.-H.

Treasurer ln a large town it is possible to hear music and lectures, and to see pictures, if one watches announcements and travels the distances: it is one of the delights of a college that it brings such things to one's very door and makes them a part of the everyday program. The Art Association makes it possible to hear the best art lectures and to see good exhibits with a minimum of trouble. Perhaps its most peculiar feature is the set of 'informal talks given in the Exhibition Room in French Hall during each of the four or five exhibits of the yearg the college community affords a group of people who are capable and willing to give their services, and it has proved valuable in helping people to see things.

For we neither smash windows nor hurl bombs, but work by thoroughly sane and constructive methods. For the seeming novelty of our ideas, we might be classed among the more radical progressives, yet the equal suffrage for which we stand, is the inevitable outcome of woman's very conservative progress in the past. Our experience has taught us that it is not necessary to use highly complex arguments or elaborate statistics, but that for the most part, given time, men and women who think seriously must decide in favor of equal suffrage. This year has brought the League unusual opportunities for practical work. Last fall, in the local suffrage campaign, our members served on committees, distributed literature, decorated windows in Oberlin, Lorain, Amherst, and Wellington, furnished music for open-air meetings, and even conducted suffrage meetings themselves. The regular work of the League has gone on as usual: personal solicitation, occasional open meetings, and a novel membership campaign in the spring. Our growing numbers make us increasingly confident that equal suffrage is well worthy of our support.--E.. E..

Jones Few men get their meade of recognition in this world, and prominent among the worthy multitude of the unrequited is George M. Jones, graduate treasurer of the Athletic Association. l-lis student fellow-sufferer, Dick Fauver, has at least the honor of being elected to his job. Un- less one has sold tickets or ofliciated in some way at the games, he is apt to im- agine Mr. Jones as a sort of figure-head, who pleasantly draws comps to all ath- letic events in return for allowing his name to grace the directories. On the contrary, he is the very life of the party. He wears out a bicycle every year between the foot- ball field and the office. The financial success of our athletics has been due in no small part to the management of Mr. Jones. The College Record Book testi- fies that Mr. Jones took third place in the l-lop-skip-and-jump event of the Field Day back in '9l. As graduate treasurer he has been improving ever since. Charles W. Savage Oberlin owes her present position in Athletics to a number of factors, but her greatest debt is to Lharles W. Savage. l-lis services date back to l892, when he made the 80-yard run through the whole Michigan team. He has been Professor of Physical Training and Director of Athletics for nine years. His reputation is not confined to the Oberlin campus: he is a member of the National Football Rules Committee, both a personal honor and a recognition of Oberlin,s standing in Athletic Circles. Mr. Savage does not direct from his ofliceg he follows the game, in season and out of season, with a keen personal inter- est. l-lis friendly attitude, tempered by a wise discipline, has gained him the respect and regard of all college men. Philip King Ir is the custom in many colleges for the men to drift out to the athletic field of an afternoon during practice hours. We of Cberlin who have permitted our- selves this diversion remember a quiet man who seemed to be helping Jud round the team into shape. That man was Philip King, assistant coach. Under his able direction the scrubs ab- sorbed a working knowledge of football, and furnished the varsity some lively scrimmages. Phil did some individual work with the line-men, but he spent most of his time drilling the subs. Not a showy job that, but probably the most important factor in the development of winning teams from year to year. A. Judson Pyle After one year of experience with Nel- son Metcalf, Jud Pyle was called on to continue the line of graduate coaches. His standing as an athlete and his intimate knowledge of football, basketball, and baseball eminently qualify him to follow such men as Gray and Metcalf. A comparison of the first and last foot- ball games speaks well for his staying qualities and his ability to teach football. But an even better indication of his capa- city is the showing of the basketball team, which he has had two years to develop. Jud had a way of keeping track of the number of times a man captured the ball in live minutes. This and other devices of his kept the team on the jump all the time. Witness the result of his consistent work in the games played here this year. A game like the Denison game is a coach's greatest rewardg a team like the team which won that game, his highest praise. John W. Wainwright Did it ever occur to any one that our band is responsible for a large part of the spirit behind athletics? We are not apt to think of the band as anything more than an accessory of the cheeringg but it is, in fact, the very life of all that makes for loyalty to a team. The music has been of especial value this year: seldom will a college be blessed with a band such as ours. And a large part of the band's success has been due to the director, Jack Wainwright. With the loyal support of his men, he has been able to raise the organization to its present high level of excellence. ln this he has made a distinct contribution to Oberlin Athletics. Josiah B. Buell The mental picture of our little recl- headed cheer-leader is permanent and hardly needs this reinforcement. Who can forget that incomparable arm-move- ment, that active, syncopatecl foot, that lusty Hl..et's yell! Almost any cheer- leader possesses loyalty, many have en- ergy, but Si is accused of combining these with ideas. The movie rally was a nov- elty which any one might have thought of beforeg the point is that no one did. But the outstanding event of this year's cheer- ing season was the rally in the Chapel be- fore the State game. That mass-meeting gathered up all the latent loyalty in the College and unified it into one great ex- pression. It is not necessary to praise Si as a cheer leader. His work stands. , 1 I1 Bi c O .1 '5 f-13 54 35 U MU mm n: RX UU! W5 Sa QU L. U U on FU v fi cn QE bog IU gg? 5 U: :s 1. 11 O O Em :x S s: E41 :J .n x. O LL CE Em Sa Qm r-l,, E U Z1 of :S .E U :E Si?

Oberlin, ase Case, 7 Season of 1914 Last autumn the football season opened in doubt and uncertainty. Coach Metcalf had gone and Pete Fisher and 'iBrock Henderson, Theller, Durbin, Davis, Leonard and Vvagner had joined the ranks of the old gradsf' Coaches Pyle and King faced the hardest situation our football coaches have had for years. The material seemed promising and abundant but it lacked experience and the schedule of all Ohio games was the heaviest ever faced by an Oberlin team. Unusually hard work by the squad failed to develop a team strong enough to compete with the heavy team from Miami in our first game. Miami had the advantage of a week's earlier start and outplayed us to the tune of 9-0. The splendid fight put up by the Crimson and Gold warriors was the encouraging feature of the game. Denison with her skillful team swooped down upon us the following week before our team had been evolved and we were defeated, mainly through the skillful use of the forward pass, by the score of 20-0. It is my conviction that our team could have beaten either Miami or Denison in November. ln the Wooster game the next week our team seemed to have found itself, and the victory over Wesleyan at Oberlin the following week seemed to confirm this. But when Reserve managed to defeat us 6-0 in a poorly played game on October the 3lst, our optimism was crushed. Why Oberlin did not defeat Reserve by at least three touchdowns will always remain a mystery. That Reserve scored her lone touchdown by pushing the ball over the line contrary to the rules is no consolation. At Columbus the following week our Crimson and Gold warriors seemed dazed before the brilliant attack of Ohio State. State's team was at the acme of efficiency and in the pink of condition physically. They never put out a better balanced team. Physi- cally our superiors by I5 pounds to the man and mentally confident, they crushed our lighter and less confident team, and administered the most overwhelming defeat an Oberlin team has ever received at the hands of Ohio State. The season ended with the Case game in Oberlin. When Case received our kick-olf and marched straight across the field for a touchdown and kicked the goal within four minutes our hopes for a final victory and a brilliant close to a gray season went glimmering. The sting of that score, however, seemed to be the stimulus needed to rouse our men from their lethargy. The Case battlements were stormed with a clash and drive that is characteristic of Oberlin's best teams. Caseis goal line was crossed and recrossed in rapid succession, and when the smoke of battle cleared away, the score board proclaimed a glorious Oberlin triumph with the legend, Oberlin 35, Case 7. The culmination of the football season was the Football Banqueti' in the Men's Building on the Monday night following the Case game. The spirit of enthusiastic loyalty with which the student body had followed the team through all the vicissitudes of' the season reached its height in the farewell dinner in honor of the I9l4 Knights of the Golden O. No man who attended that night and heard the splendid tribute paid to our athletic teams by President King and the other speakers will ever consider the football season of I9l'4 other than a success.

It was with difficulty that Coach Pyle cut the squad of regulars to twelve or fifteen men at the start of the season in -lanuary. The loss of Captain Henderson and the veterans, Fisher and Theller, was keenly felt. The return of Decroff, a veteran of the l9l2 team, was encouraging and the zeal of the new men in fighting for recognition gave promise of fine things. Nor were our hopes without foundation. In the first game of the season we defeated Kenyon easily, in spite of the lack of team play, by individual brilliance. The same was true of the Case game in Cleveland. The Miami game in Oberlin showed flashes of team play with an easy victory of 39-l 8 resulting. The Case and Re- serve games in Oberlin were too easy to deserve mention. The defeat at Granville by the Big Redn team was a tremendous test of our ability and the 38-30 score does not show how fiercely this contest was played. The State game at Columbus resulted in a defeat of 23-22 in an overtime contest which we really should have won. The injury to McPhee, removing him from the game at the beginning of the first half, and Captain Edwards sprained ankle probably caused our downfall. A trip to Ohio University and Marietta for the first time in our history resulted in two victories. When Denison came to Oberlin for the return game, DeGroff was not in the line-up owing to illness. However Kalbfleisch the utility man, stepped into his place so success- fully that our team play was not upset and Oberlin was declared the winner over the best team in Ohio by a score of 29-24. This game was the best exhibition of basketball seen here this season. It was fast and furious, but it was basketball at its best. The defeat experienced at the hands of Ohio State in the final game was really indoor football. No light team could stand up against the style of game played by the big Columbus players, and when the referee allowed the game to go rough, our boys stood little or no chance. But it ought to be said that our team was not at its best owing to the sickness of Kalbfleisch, who was taken to the hospital only the night before the game. Of the schedule of eleven games, Oberlin won eight and lost threeg a splendid record considering the vicissitudes of the season. ln Intramural Basketball the season was remarkably successful. There was the regular class championship series in which the Juniors won first place. Two inter boarding house Leagues of six teams each were also organized. These teams played fifteen games before and thirty games after the l-lolidays. The championship of both leagues went to Cranford with Churchill Cottage a close second. ln all about ninety men in addition to class and varsity players participated. Never in the history of the College has so great a number of men been interested in this royal sport. CHARLES W. SAVAGE 232 IM TEAMS juniors . Sophornores Freshmen . Seniors L. F. KELLER R, O.

The trip to Ohio State and Miami for the first games of the season was a disappointment, both games being lost. Our defeat of Reserve in the first home game by a score of' I-O gave reason for encouragement, but this game and two victories over Case and the defeat of Kenyon could not atone for two games lost to both Ohio State and Ohio Wesleyan and the baseball season in point of victories won was far from creditable. The Tennis team broke even with Ohio Wesleyan in two matches, lost one to Ohio State, one to Reserve and failed to place in the State Tournament. While the team was rather evenly balanced it lacked real class and rarely played a strong and consistent match. In Track athletics the situation was decidedly different. By hard and consistent training under the direction of Coach Metcalf, our team was stronger than any that has represented us for years. Though an Indoor Meet at Delaware was lost to Ohio Wesleyan early in the winter, the outdoor season was a great success. On the last Saturday of April, after a downpour all the previous night we were able to dedicate our new cinder track by a victory over both Case and Reserve in a triangular meet, Oberlin 96, Case 35, and Reserve 33. Two weeks later Ohio State brought her track team here and narrowly escaped defeat at our hands. Her strength in the Pole Vault and weight events with a victory in an exciting relay giving her a score of 65M to Oberlin's BZM. Captain Harvey broke both the Oberlin and the State record with a high jump of 5 ft. I I My in., while Bert Dunn starred with three firsts and a second for a total of I8 points. At the Big Six the best our splendid team could do was to take second place with 49 points, Ohio State winning with 69. Here again it was her strength in the field events that saved State's bacon. On the Track, Oberlin lead throughout the meet. No Oberlin team in the last ten years at least, has won so many points in this big classic, and it is only because the other colleges of the state were unusually weak that Oberlin's score of 49 was not sufficient to win first place. Third place went to Case with I2 points, fourth to Cincinnati with IO, Reserve 9, Denison 9, Wesleyan 8, Wooster 5, and Miami 3. The two stars of the meet were both Oberlin men. Bert Dunn showed his heels to the field in both dashes and the high hurdles, winning I5 points, and Captain Harvey set a new state record in the high jump at 6 ft. IM in. johnny Herring was busy winning two seconds and a third. Jimmy Carter, Old Faithful, found the going too fast in the pole vault when Kesler of Ohio State set a new state record of I I feet BM 236 inches. We shall miss these old war horses of 'l4, Harvey, Herring, and Carter. They were always on the job with perseverance and enthusiasm. In Intramural Athletics during the spring our real gain was in track work. Our splendid new track was always available, rain or shine, a new experience for us. Every man showing any interest in the sport was given equipment by the Athletic Association and encouraged to persevere. Over seventy men trained regularly. A novice meet was run off for the Hrst time and proved very interesting. It will doubtless be a regular annual event. Because the work on the new field had been stopped the preceding autumn for lack of funds no real advance was made in intramural baseball as there was no room for it. In tennis the interclass and team tournaments were close and interesting but probably no unusual number of men were in competition. When the new diamonds are made available, and the new tennis courts constructed we may look for more general participation in spring sports. The ideal situation will not be attained however, until training quarters are established at the held and the schedule of college classes so revised that there will be at least two full hours each afternoon free for recreation.

This association was organized in the spring of l904 for the purpose of promoting the interest of the girls in recreative sport, both indoor and outdoor. Six tennis courts, a hockey field, and a skating rink belong to the organization, and it would be difficult to judge as to their respective popularity. lnterclass games are played in basketball and hockey, which constitute a big stimulus to the interest in these two sports. An annual tennis tournament is held to decide the class champions, and the champion of the institution. Class numerals are given for excellent work in all sports, certain combinations granting the winner an O. C. sweater, and what girl does not covet the honor of wearing an O. C. sweater! The skating rink is a l9l4 innovation, and its success has already been assured. lts special function is to afford a place where girls may learn to skate. The series of dances given for Ci. F. A. members is one of the most popular features of the association's work. The Gymnasium and Field Association is not without a home. Among the many attractions which the cozy little house on West College, known as Dickinson l-louse, offers, may be counted a well-equipped kitchen and dining room, and a charming little living-room, the fire-place of which has been the center of many happy, informal gathegingg ,I5 Andrews Oltman McClure Martindale Bonnewitz Yocum Ramsey jones Luechauer 254 . gi A I fi . ix i is 'J F ,.

Social Secretary Of the many students who prepare themselves in college for the various activities of life, a surprisingly large number enter the Physical Training work. This is no doubt due to the call to service which the outside world is making and to which Oberlin responds in so great a measure. So thorough and complete is the work in the Physical Training Department that four years are required to fit one for eflicient service. Cn entering this sphere of activity the first-year class is set to learn co-ordination in its simpler forms. This is accomplished by dumb-bell, wand, and Indian club drills. Simple folk dances are also learned. The Sophomores continue work along somewhat the same lines. ln addition to this. however, they take up the theoretical part of the course in the study of Physiology and Chemistry. By the Junior year practical work and theoretical work become prominent factors. ln the practical field fencing and complex dumb-bell and Indian club drills are learned. Anatomy, the theory of playing games and the theory of Physical Training compose the other half of the work. The Senior work completes the work in Physical Training. The work takes the form of very complex drills and advanced aesthetic dancing. This year is unique in that actual experience in teaching in public schools and the gymnasium. together with practical work in clinic, marks the beginning of individual initiative. A.

Girls who win this honor excel in many forms of athletics aside from always maintaining the very highest standards of good sportsmanship. Numerals are granted in basketball, hockey, skating, tennis, and excellency in gymnasium workt. To gain her numeral, a girl may be a regular member of a class basketball team, or she may win the class championship in tennisg a numeral may be awarded to her for excellence in hockey ffour are chosen from each hockey team during the year., One girl from each of the Freshman and Sophomore classes is awarded a numeral for superior gymnasium work. A girl may skate off six events in fancy skating to win a numeral. ln order to win her white varsity sweater with the O. C. monogram in crimson and gold, a girl must fulfill one of several requirements: She must win-numerals in basketball for four yearsg numerals in three different sports, two numerals in one sport, and one in anotherg or two numerals in one sport, and numerals in gymnasium. The following girls have been awarded O. C. sweaters this year: Ruih Alexander, 1915. Alex did not need to elect astronomy her senior year because she learned to star during her basketball career. She won her sweater by winning two numerals in basketball and one in tennis. 258 Pearl Aldrich, 1915. Pearl distinguished herself in basketball as guard, winning her sweater by playing on the team for four years. She was known as the old standby of the l9l5 team and finished her career by tossing in the winning basket of her hnal game. Helen Hudson, 1915. Helen has proved that one may win honors in athletics as well as in scholarship. She played a scrappy, snappy game in basketball and her loyalty and enthusiasm won many games. Beatrice Pope, 1915. B stands for basket shooter. She always played a fast spectacular game at forward. She was commonly known in the gymnasium as a perfect whirlwind. She won the class championa ship in tennis in her Junior year. Few balls ever got past her in hockey and the speed with which she carried a hockey ball down the field resembled her basketball playing. Helen Sfcmen, 1915. Hon spent but two years in Oberlin, but during that time she made good in basketball and hockey, playing on the Yale- Princeton team her first year. She is a brilliant player in hockey. 259 Ruth Richardson, 1915. Ruddie showed that variety is the spice of life by winning numerals in skating, hockey, and basketball. She played a good, steady game in basketball and hockey. Sarah Bailey, 1916. Sal played for three years on the l9l6 basketball team and in her Junior year won the class championship in tennis. Her basketball career was checkered by sprained ankles and chewing gum. Ezhel Davis, 1916. Ethel Jane won her sweater by playing a good steady game ol basketball and by her brilliant work in hockey which helped to win the interclass championship. She never played a uladylikew game. Gladys Pyle, 1916. Bud started to play basketball her freshman year and completed the first year by playing in the Yale-Princeton game. She played a brilliant game both in hockey and in basketball. 260 Edith Cates, 1917. It has been said that it is the red in Gatzie's hair that puts the ginger where it ought to be. She has the quality of being there at the critical moment. A steady, consistent player. Ecllvina fones, 1917. The only trouble that Mjonesyu has, comes when she tries to keep up with her own feet in a basketball game. She delights in tumbling matches and black eyes. She plays a cool, speedy game at forward. Edith Miller, 1914. Edith won her sweater by gaining her numerals in basketball for two years and by her very ably captaining the I9I4 hockey team. It is almost impossible to stop Edith as she udroven the hockey ball down the held. Hulda Stephens, 1914. Hulda was always master of the situation. Though she has been here but two years she has won her numerals in basketball, hockey, and tennis, and excelled in all other active sports. Her force and speed made her a hard opponent. 26l 'it' - - 4 ..................... -,,, 4 III :Hi I 'llll1Ill1llIlll1lFlllF 1 alllsqglglg f KIIIKQ IL Il llllll t x I llllll l I Il!

Every clear autumn clay finds enthusiastic girls waiting for courts at almost any hour of the day. Even the' frosty air of early morning vibrates with the laughter of the girls as they search for balls in the dewy grass. The preliminary class tournaments are completed as far as possible in the fall. They are then finished in the spring, when the class champions match their strength and skill. Seventy-live girls entered the preliminaries in the fall of l9l 3. The winners of the class tournaments were: Hulda Stephens, l9I4g Beatrice Pope, l9l5 3 Florence Wilkinson, 19165 Gertrude Schuchman, I9l7g Doris Bugby, Cons.: Caroline Klinefelter, Acad. Florence Wilkinson was the champion of the institution and won the cup. Interest in tennis does not cease as soon as the tournaments are over. All spring and even during the hot days of early summer, it is very, very difficult to find a free court. S. L., 'l6.

Then Miss Bowen said to her trusty lieutenant: l.,enore, tell us a story! Thus Lenore began. So went the game. Lively as were the cheerleaders, comic as were the stunts, syncopated as was the music of Bugbey's l..eatherlunged, they paled into nothing when the five lovely wearers of the blue, together with a chubby future-hope-of-Yale dressed like her older sisters, sped on to the floor, followed by the fair cohorts of the Orange and Black. The game began with a stubborn struggle that showed what was to come, and the excitement hardly abated until the final whistle. It was clean, fast, open play, and so even that overtime was necessary to give the Goddess Victory time to make up her mind. It were Hamlet without Ophelia to omit all reference to the show between halves. Glorious as it is to wear a numeral, thrice glorious to wear the HO. C, nevertheless there is balm to the unsuccessful in their immunity on the evening of the awards, when the stricken daughters of success sneak with an attempt at unconscious grace and dignity toward their prize-under the critical eyes of the entire feminine population of Oberlin.

The Boarding Houses institutions is the boarding house system, housing twenty-eight under private management all of the nearly all the men. The boarding house makes it women to live in large groups, yet they are groups The largest groups are in the live college houses, Talcott Hall, Baldwin Cottage, Dascomb Cottage, Lord Cottage, and Keep Cottage, which accommodate from thirty-live to eighty girls each. The houses under private management, approved by the Dean of Women, vary in number of girls from five or ten to forty. But it is in the co-educational element of the system that Oberlin is most unique. ln the social life of the boarding houses co-education appears in its finest aspect. The men, though rooming in some four hundred and fifty different private houses, board for the most part in the thirty-two boarding houses. The members of a household, perhaps totally unacquainted with each other at the beginning of the year, soon become joined in a kind of family fellowship that permits of and inspires hikes, picnics, parties, and house stunts galore. A true and normal social life between the men and women is generated. HOUSE PRESIDENTS Baldwin Cottage Churchill Cottage Dascomb Cottage Keep Cottage . Keep Annex Lord Cottage .

The New Building which is being used this year for the lirst time is to the right of the main building and connected with it by a covered hall-way, so that the students may pass from one building to the other x ith co ivenience. This is one of the best-equipped business colleges in the whole country. Oberlin Business College Placed upon the Accredited List of Ohio Colleges That the grade of work accomplished in this school is of a high order is shown by the fact that it has been placed upon the accred- ited list of Ohio colleges for training commercial teachers. This entitles its graduates to the Four-year Provisional Certificates in Ohio without examination, which are good in thirty-three other States. Oberlin is fortunate in having a business college which is now regarded as the best of its kind in the country.

This selfishness in certain groups ls surely worthy but of goops. A goop there is, whom waiters hate, Who always comes to breakfast late. And when the rest have all been served, With manner clearly unreserved, This goop comes in, a tale to tell, Of how she never hears the bell. How often clo we see with prain, The couples, gathered, where we fain Would comfort have and quiet find.

He knew the bugs and beetles all And the birds in distant Hight. He said one June, Now I declare I'll give a course for co-eds fair, To learn the bugs and birds and stonesf Said Oberlin's Professor Jones. With the faculty's approval then He started out one day To find a nice secluded spot For bloomered girls to stay, Until at last a barn he spied, f Prof. Lynds Jones, 'Twas long and deep and high and wide. Ah, here's the place to rest our bones, Said Oberlin's Professor Jones. And when these cool and spacious halls Were fitted up with care, Forth to their high and netted walls There tripped the co-eds fair. They bade adieu to skirts and frills And thought their lives were free from ills, Till two boys came with pleading tones, Oh let us in, Professor Jones. Yet where in all this world around, This side the gates divine, Could there be found a happier crowd Than this same class of nine? They sought the fields and marshes wide, Armed with their nets and syanide. For, Go to work, we'll have no drones. Said Oberlin's Professor jones. 345 OBERLIN BOOKS James II. l7aiv'clzild, D. D.

The bugs and spiders, great and small, And caterpillars, one and all, Cried out in scientific tones, on We die for thee, Professor Jones. The fishes in their swimming haunt All hid away in fear. The tems arose, a screaming cloud, When their footsteps drew near. Their launch sought many a distant shore, To learn one bug or one bird more. They worked and talked and thought in zones With Oberlin's Professor Jones. rl-he Hickers drummed their rising call At four A. M. each day, And sweet bird-songs from morn till night Were wafted 'round their way. But at their teacher's wise request. To name the song they loved the best, They cried, The dinner horn's rich tones Are sweetest far, Professor Jones. But all things bright and happy here, Are destined soon to end, And class from jiggers, worms, and snakes Must part as friend from friend, And as their homeward way they take, There echoes far across the lake Their sweetly melancholy moans, Farewell, farewell, Professor Jones. 347 l l HEADQUARTERS FOR GOOD THINGS TO EAT Gibson Brothers Rex Theatre Using Kriterion S e r v i e e Decidedly Distinctire First Show, 6:20-7:20 p. m.
