S. Lehr, Founder O. N. V. SKETCH OF O.N. U. HISTORY DR. H. S. LEHR T HE decision to found a modern institution of learning was made by the founder in March, 1860 . He had just returned from teaching and was to re-enter college at Alliance. There was a forced sale of town lots. He believed there was an opportunity to make money. He devoted an entire day to meditation on the course of life he ought to pursue, whether to enter on a life of business or found a school entirely different from the then existing academies, seminaries, and colleges. ' Then there were no state universities as they now exist. Schools of higher learning were conducted but 36 weeks a year. Then West Union College had no literature in her curriculum. The founder well remembers a morning chapel lecture advising the students not to read the sinful trash written by Dickens, Scott, and like imps of Hell. It was all the work of the devil. It appeared to the founder that it was the aim of the colleges to prepare preachers to warn people to fear an angry God and avoid the fires of an eternal Hell and to manage the affairs of this world as best they could. He doubted their theology and believed that there should be schools of law, pharmacy, commerce, medicine, and engineering, and that they should continue the entire year, being so conducted that students could enter at any time and be accommodated. He had been successful in drawing many pay pupils to his village schools and in 1855 had already begun to write recommendations for his lady pupils to procure schools to teach. When but nineteen years old he was solicited to start an academy in Wayne County, later in Ashland County, and still later by fellow students in Uniontown, Pa. At the close of the civil war he engaged to teach in a small town near Springfield, Mo., but through the persuasion of his father he gave up his plan to start his cherished school in that state. He then taught another term in Stark County. During the winter of ’65 and ' 66, he carefully studied the educational situati on of Ohio and Indiana. Eastern Ohio was well supplied with academies, seminaries, and colleges, but in Northwestern Ohio there were but two colleges and one academy. There was a college at North- wood, Logan County, and an academy at Milan, Seneca County. The academy at Republic in Seneca County was closed during the war. There were no col¬ leges or academies in Northeastern Indiana. The founder of the O. N. U. had been successful thus far in his teaching and had unbounded faith in a school for the common people, that would con¬ tinue all year, and in which they could prepare for almost any calling in life, at the most moderate expense. He offered his services at a number of towns in Northwestern Ohio and Northeastern Indiana, and explained his plan of establishing a great university, promising to have an annual attendance of 5.000 students in twenty-five years. He met with poor encouragement nearly every¬ where. He finally visited Ada, then called Johnstown. Of the then three direc- 9 Dr. L. G. Herbert Dr. A. S. Watkins Hon. Frank E. Willis N. W. Tobias Prof. B. S. Young tors, two, S. M. Johnstown and William League, were impressed with his scheme. He asked to be employed to teach the public school whenever there were funds, to be permitted to admit tuition students, and during vacations of the public school to have the use of the school house, free of rent, for select school. He asked three dollars a day for the first year. They had never paid but two dollars a day. It was finally agreed that he should receive $2.75 a day the first three months and, if he gave good satisfaction, then $3.00 a clay the second term. H e was told the house was too old and cold to have school during the six winter months, that they would have six months during the summer and, if he would repair the old frame building, he might have the use of it free of rent. There was but one room in the building; so he would have to do all the teaching. He began teaching April 9, 1866. His experience in getting to Ken¬ ton for examination would be interesting were there space in the Annual to tell it. The enrollment of the winter term of the select school was 56, the tuition for 8 o days, $ 6 . 00 . The select term closed on Friday; the public school term began Monday; and this work continued for five years, till the fall of 1871. The spring term of 1868, the Geometry class recited at 5 A. M. for one hour; the class in logic, from 7 to 8 o ' clock P. M.; and a class in Latin from 8 to 9 P. M. Dr. R. L. Souder, still in Ada, was a member of the classes in Geometry, Logic, and Latin. The other school hours were from 8 A. M. to 5 P. M. This was a term of public school and the teacher received no extra pay for the additional five hours work. The enrollment the last term of the select school was 119 , really 120 , but one student entered for only one week. The name was now changed from select school to Northwestern Ohio Nor¬ mal School. The first term began August 14 th, 1871. There were six teachers to be employed but only four: H. S. Lehr, B. F. Niesz, J. G. Park, J. H. Wil¬ liams, M. D., had contracted when the catalogue was published. Theodore Presser had charge of the college of Music. No one was employed to teach fine arts; so Prof. Niesz, in addition to some other branches, taught penman¬ ship and bookkeeping. It required four years to complete the course prescribed but there was no place for literature. It contained Science of Government and Parliamentary Law,—not found in the old college catalogues. The course in¬ cluded surveying. During the years of the select school there was only one Literary Society, organized in 1866. On Friday night, August 18, 1871, were organized the Franklin and Philomathean Literary Societies. The first year of the Normal School the president of the Normal was also Superintendent of the Ada public schools and taught seven hours a day. The winter term, that year, the Virgil class consisting of but one member recited from 4 to 5 A. M. That member, Mrs. Mary Hickernell, now resides in Ada. She averaged 70 lines a lesson. The Chemistry class contained but three mem¬ bers and recited from 7 to 8 P. M. The members were J. M. Reil, Melville De Lisle, and Mollie Schoonover, now Mrs. Hickernell. The second year of the Normal there was added to the course English Literature. In the third cata- 11 logue we find ten teachers and three Literary courses: Normal, Scientific, and Classical. In the fourth catalgue is found a new department, Telegraphy. Jn the school year 1876-7 the Normal School, then located at Fostoria. Ohio, w ' as bought by, and incorporated in, the Normal at Ada. In the ninth catalogue, 1879-80, there was added a Fine Arts department. In the tenth catalogue on page 24, is found the new department of Stenography; on page 25, the Me¬ chanical Engineering and Architectural Drawing, also the new ' department of Elocution: on page 34, the new vacation term; it is also stated that the increase in enrollment over the previous year had been 45%. This was caused by the increased facilities; the new building now known as the Administration Build¬ ing had been completed. In catalogue 13, school year 1883 4, was announced the course in Civil En¬ gineering and Architecture. J. C. Holland, a Cornell student, taught Architec¬ ture. Twenty-six teachers w r ere announced. In catalogue No. 14, 1884-5, page 26. is found the first announcement of a military department: three companies were announced. Wonderful strides were made during the school year 1884-5, as shown in catalogue 15. The U. S. government recognized the institution and appointed Lieut. Roberts as commandant. This year also were organized the College of Law and one year’s course in Medicine. J. Ross Lee, an Ann Arbor graduate, was the first Dean in the College of Law and Dr. J. H. Coleman had charge of the College of Medicine. The department of Medicine continued but two years. The facilities were inadequate. This year the name of the school was changed to Ohio Normal University. In catalogue No. 16, announcements for 1886-7, s found the announcement of the College of Pharmacy. Charles Ashbrook was the Dean. In that catalogue were published the names of ten students in law r , thirteen in medicine, five in pharmacy; there had to be a beginning. In September, 1898, the Central Ohio Conference of the M. E. Church con¬ tracted to buy the University, but the sale was not completed till in August, 1899. H. S. Lehr. Warren Darst. Frederick Maglott, and S. D. Fess, rented the O. N. U. for the year 1899-1900, and for the school year 1900-1901 H, S. Lehr. Frederick Maglott, S. D. Fess, and John Davison, rented the school. The board of trustees later added Henry Whitworth as a member. In 1901 L. A. Belt was elected President by the trustees, and H. S. Lehr, Vice President, treasurer and corresponding secretary. He was also to act as general manager. Later the name of the school was changed to Ohio Northern University. Dr. Albert Edwin Smith is now the President. Many changes and improve¬ ments have been made, all of which the present students and citizens know full well. The largest annual enrollment of students under the management of the founder was in the school year 1899-1900. 3.349. The largest number in Liberal Arts College was 1.998, in 1899-1900: in the College of Commerce 334, in 1891- 1892; in Law 180, in 1897-98: in Pharmacy 229, in 1896-97: in Music 363, in 1 893-’94; in Elocution 137, in i 894-’95: in Stenography 174 in 1899-1900; Tele¬ graphy 70. in 1882- ' 83; Fine Arts 169, in i 882- ' 83; Civil Engineering 84 and in Electrical 32, in 1899-1900. 12 Albert Edwin Smith, President Ohio Northern University i J Northern Board.

EDITORIAL R EALIZING the advantage in having a fixed title and of having certain distinguishing characteristics, the editors have retained the name “Sorthern” and the departmental plan of Volume i. We hope future classes will continue the precedent. Celieving that a Class Annual, more than any other output of a school, is a measure of that school ' s efficiency, its spirit, its literary standards, the editors have taken considerable time and pains in the compilation of this volume. A number of new features have been added, chief among which is a department of literature. A special effort has been made to give the book, thruout, a Whole¬ some literary tone. Failure on the part of some to respond to requests, lack of thoro organiza¬ tion of the various departments, have prevented us from realizing certain fea¬ tures, that would have greatly added to the interest and artistic finish of the book. After a prolonged and varied experience in this work. 1 advise succeed¬ ing classes to effect thoro organizations and begin preparations for their Annual in the Junior Year. Space forbids giving personal mention to all who have assisted in the pre¬ paration of this volume. Thanks are due to the departmental associates and to all who have contributed to the literary sections. I-Ion-ever, we desire to thank, particularly, the follon-ing: Dr. Lehr for his interest, encouragement, and for his Sketch of O.X. U. History; Miss Yambert, for her work in Fine Art; Mr. C. E. Remick. for both designs and cartoons; and Mr. Frueh, for cartoons. To Mr. G. M. McClearv “Sorthern, ’ 12 owes its publication. Thru his persistent efforts and business acumen we have been enabled to publish a book, first class in every respect, at a saving of several hundreds of dollars to the class. Nor can we overlook the work of H. H. L. Wright, the Advertising Manager. Thru his efforts S 100 worth of advertising space was sold, which furnished the funds necessary to embellish the Annual. Thanks are also due the Fraternities for their liberal donations to the Coard. 16 Class Df titers William Grotii, A. B PROFESSORS COLLEGE LIBERAL ARTS Rachel Smith, A. E.

Touch not a single youth! In bygone days they wielded it. But now days be a Ruth. ’Twas our forefather’s hand That wielded it with will; Rut teacher, make a stand; Remember Bunker Hill. That old, old worn rod. Now dusty and grown brown. Was wielded on both sides the sea- But now, please lay it down. Teacher, forbear thy stroke ! Leave the rod where it lies; Try to encourage the young folk. By pointing them to the prize. When you were a mischievous child. And felt its ungrateful sting. Did you have that disposition mild To sit erect and sing? Your father may have whipped you. While your mother held your hand, But now please take some sound advice Touch not the tragic wand. J. B. O. “OHIO NORTHERN UNIVERSITY’’ O where in all this whole world thru Is a village that’s more fair to view Than “Ada,” the home of the O. N. U. O where in schools across the sea Can there be found a pedigree. As has our Old University? O where is there a busier bee To please us all and o’ersee Than Smith of our University? O where is there a lighter fee On which all students quite agree Than at our College at Ad-e? O where are students made more free And yet are kept bowed at the knee Than at our College at Ad-e? O where can learning chance to be More radiant from the knowledge tree Than in the halls of our University? O where do students hear the plea For Christian living more than we At Dr. Smith’s modern University? 37 OLD NORTHERN Oh for boyhood ' s college days. When Free-hand was taught by Miss Ley. Circles and wheels, and chairs and stools. Knowledge never learned by fools. Sext in line came Professor Dice, The man who gave good, sound advice On Psychology I and Philosophy II, Metaphysics, Asthetics, and Ethics true, On Philosophy of Kant and Theory of Knowledge, —Is there a better man in any college? Professor Schoonover is known quite well. And is always in on the foot ball yell. He teaches Hebrew and Xew Testament Greek; Is it any wonder that he should be sick? There is Whitworth and Kreglow. Freeman and Maglott,— Some have A. M. degrees and Some have not! Now Samuel P. Axline has an L. L. D., And Frank E. Willis has a L. L. 6. Mrs. Eva Maglott has an A. M. C. E., Miss May Alcott Lance has a Mus. B. Professor D. Ewing has a M. E. E. E. While Professor D. Mohler has a Phar. G. That these are good men is beyond a doubt. But there is one good Dean that I must not leave out. Who sits in his office the whole day thru Holding conferences with students old and new ; He teaches Paidology and Administration. School Hygiene and History of Education,-- So you see he has the backin Can you guess his name?—it ' s Prof. McCracken. Cheerily then Ohio Northern, Live and prosper as we know you can! Thou has’t the leader, stately and true. And loyal friends who will stick to you. Your Emeritus father was a man most loyal; May his reward be the Lehr Memorial. And now Old Northern may you ever live With a fame increasing still. Giving degrees to only those. Who first have climbed the hill! 38 J. B. O. Thos. J. Smull, C. E., M. E.

JOHN CLOYD’S ORATION T HE Engineers and Pharmacs this year brought to a close the custom of having annual class fights between the two departments. The Engineering department had grown so much larger than the Pharmacy department that the Engineers thought the only fair thing to do was to cease all strife. Arrangements were made to bury the hatchet on the campus to emphasize the event. On Nov. 29, 1911,at 8 A. M., the band playing “Nearer My God to Thee”, the students of the two departments stood for half an hour, with bared heads, in a snowstorm raging during the ceremony. The following oration was delivered by John Cloyd at the grave: “Three score and thirteen years ago, on the eighth day of March, the Maker, God Almighty, put forth in this great state of Ohio a man destined to become a great factor in the educational world and a leader among men. This man, Dr. IT. S. Lehr, like many great men was born poor, yet he became rich in char¬ acter and reputation. His work is one which you all love and of which you are a part, namely, the Ohio Northern University. “As the wheel of time turned onward it brought to him the most marvel- 67 ous event of his life, the organization of the Pharmacy and Engineering depart¬ ments. “Progress and attainment seemed to be the motto of these two schools, both mentally and physically. Combats have been frequent, resuiting in many black eyes, bloody noses, water-trough baths, and the destruction of much prop¬ erty. “Thus we have been engaged in a great civil war testing whether that body or this one could long endure, till at last we’ve met on this old battle-field for a different purpose. “The professors will little note nor long remember what we say here but they never can forget what we do here. We’ve niet to interweave and consolidate our relations that the bonds of friendship and love shall always remain un¬ broken. “And now, as the battle-scarred and Flood-stained hatchet is lowered to the fiery grave that betokens everlasting friendship between Pharmacs and Engineers, may God, who looks down from above with joy and love, cherish and destine this crowd so that the old school will never have need to be ashamed of them.” u e K_, EXPRESSION DEPT.

The streets were wet with snow one day. As Edna was hurrying on her way. When suddenly she met her teacher true With a most polite “How do you do?” The teacher was much surprised to meet Her faithful pupil upon the street, And quietly taking her by the arm She led her back without much harm. And to the classroom she was led Blushing like the roses red; And yet her punishment not complete. All the lessons she must repeat. And when at last the task was o’er Edna resolved to skip no more. And in remembrance of that day A motto she has learned to say, “Come hunger, come thirst, or whate ' er betide. I’ll always walk by my teacher’s side.” Physical Training Class.

The proposition which is puzelling me arises from the fact that the horse was owned by a woman and morgaged hy her suposed husband, but their mar¬ riage was void under the Statue because he had not secured a divorce from a purceeding marriage to a woman whoom he had married but hat stoped living with at the time of his second marriage.

To the bride. Do you solemnly swear to take this man to be your husband, so help you God? The squire then said, “I now pronounce you lawful man and wife, so help me God.” Single facts are worth more than a car-load of bad arguments. Crooked sticks make crooked shadows.

WHY WE MISS Sally Jim Jim Kib We are told that we lawyer’s ’ll be barred by St. Nich, That the Lord of the Heavens will reject us as quick; That latter, if true, puts lis in a Fix, Because of bad clients with whom we must mix; The former but proves old Satan thinks well. To serve such people is a Fright I must tell. In earlier practice we find the dead beat. Who gets our best effort s, but won’t let us eat; Then, when we grow wiser and more able to win, Liars and thieves and murderers rush in, Red handed and guilty as Satan himself. Seeking technicalities of each book on the shelf. Thus daily we touch with the meanest of men That go unhung and are out of the “Pen.” Thus we, like dog Tray, who didn’t bark loud. Are shut out of Heaven because of our crowd; And Satan, who knows the client’s tactics so well Refuses to us a room in his “Well.” A POETICAL PLEADING Suit For Conversion of a Slave. | Trespass on the Case—Trover. Att’y for Defendant wrote on docket: Jim, for his satisfaction Demands of Miss Margaret the cause of her action, And wants to know why in this public place She has undertaken to sue him in case. Reply of Att’y for Plaintiff. Miss Sally replies, with a kind of a snigger, “Why Billy you know you converted my nigger. Converted him not to the God of the sinner But converted him to cash, and you’re the winner. So, having received and failed to pay over, You’re therefore sued in action of Trover.” Ail SENIOR PARTING ‘Tis the time when sadden’d faces Banish from onr eyes the light. Who will fill our vacant places? Who will walk our ways of right? Through the mist that floats above us Faintly sounds the college bell, Bike a voice from those who know us, Breathing fondly, “Fare thee well. S FAREWELL Friends, that parting tear, reserve it, Though ‘tis doubly dear to me. Could I think I did deserve it How much happier I would be. Through the years of care and pleasure Let lis keep each thought anew; Going ' forth to success or failure. Bid we now a last adieu. “SENIOR BUNCH” Our band is few. but tried and true, Our fortress is our legal forms, With courage strong and bold. Our support the legal fee. Both crime and wrong will sure be few. We know the crooks and turns of law, Whene ' er our names are told. As the seamen know the sea. Sine rahs for each professor. Pass round again the punch. Three cheers for every member Of the grand old Senior Bunch. 30 TOAST Ye lawyers who live upon litigant fees. Who need a good many to live at your ease; Grave or gay, wise or witty, whatever your degree. Plain stuff or state’s counsel, take counsel of me:— When a festive occasion your spirit unbends You should never forget the profession’s best friend ; So we ' ll send round the wine and a light bumper fill.

With me the whole business is going to smash, I can’t get tlie balance, don’t mention the cash. Forgetting bills payable, until a draft Is levied to make a fellow go daft. There’s cash book and ledger, there’re notes over due, There’re just heaps of trouble to make you feel blue. There’s the frown of the Prof, with the words that he said. That go chasing around in your business clogged head. I think that bookkeeping would be all right, T ' would make it much easier, and not such a fright. If the whole thing wasn’t such a mixed up affair; Much better if no figures at all were used there. Edgar C. Richey, B. Sc. in Agr., Dean of the College of Agriculture COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The very latest child of Old Northern”. The newest thing under the surt. H EAR Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! We, the Agricultural College of Ohio , Northern University, have arrived. The world has waited nineteen hundred and twelve, and “Old Northern”, forty-six years for us. But you ask who we are that represent the College of Agriculture. We shall hasten to inform you. We are the Jolly Juniors, who, in the absence ot a Senior Class, do hereby assume their responsibilities in upholding the good name of our college, We are greatly indebted to the Board of Trustees, to our President, and to our Dean, who have made it possible for us to exist. We boast a fine farm of fifty acres and a farmer to tend the same—one Mr. Kelly, Kelly of the clear blue eye. We also boast of one of the finest pair of draft mares to be found in the country; a Jersey cow, Darby, and her calf— Darby Jane, for which we have to thank Dr. Hartman of Columbus. In the hog line we have much to boast of. Two of our Professors have given of their bounty—Prof. Wright presenting a fine Duroc, and Prof. Kreglow, a splendid Mulefoot. We have also received a fine Duroc from Mr. Grindall. The very latest addition to our hog family is a first prize Poland China, which we have received thru tlhe kindness of Mr. Monroe. To Orth Brothers of our vicinity we are indebted for four Rambouillet sheep, and to Mr. George Helper, for two American Merinos. In the equipment line we have an excellent beginning. We possess a gate, “the likes of which was never,” and connected therewith is as fine a string of American Woven Wire fence as one would wish to see. We have plows, harrows, wagons, rollers, sprayers, manLite spreaders, wagons, scales, etc., etc., too numerous to mention; and last, tho not least, we are the proud possessors of Idalio Sam, who has recently broken the world’s record in the running high jump and manger vault. The progress of our school work has been very satisfactory. The total number enrolled to date in the two year course is twenty-six, while one hundred and fifty-eight have enrolled in the classes devoted to teachers. For the first year we feel that this is a record of which we may well be proud. The work of our classes in the two year course has been greatly handicapped by lack of suitable laboratories, and equipment. To meet this condition, our Dean, with the co-operation of the College of Engineering has prepared plans for a modern Agriculture Building of attractive design, which it is hoped may be erected at once, thus providing us with modem facilities. A cut of the proposed building, which is to be located to the right of the entrance to the University farm, appears on another page. The above will indicate to all who we are, what we are doing, and some¬ thing of what we hope to do; and in parting, we want to leave with you a little valuable advice—not offered in a spirit of braggadocio but in loyal enthus¬ iasm for our college — “Wratch us grow.” The joi.ly juniors. 135 HOHEAOAN HomBAOAH JI6BTY Jic, WELCOME AS THE FtOvTERi nyMW Proposed Building oi- College of Agriculture. A LWAYS abreast of the spirit of the age Ohio Northern continues to be one of the foremost progressive institutions in facing those great economic problems of today, which concern the welfare of the whole people. Chief among the causes contributing to the present economic crisis— the high cost of living—is the rush from the farm to the city. It is evident that an ever increasing population must render necessary a more intensive and scientific cultivation of the soil. “Back to the farm” is the great slogan of the hour. Farming is bound to become a profession the same as Medicine, Law, and Engineering. The youth who expects to make farming his vocation must be trained in the Science of Agriculture if he wishes to be truly successful in the great tomorrow. In lieu of this imperative need the O. N. U. has purchased a farm of 50 acres Tying within the corporation of Ada. A College of Agriculture including experimental and demonstrational stations was added (1911) to the University. The popularity of this move is attested by the fact that the financial Sec’y, Rev. A. A. Thomas, has secured (including donations in high grade registered stock) more than $6,000.00 for improving the farm. Up-to-date farmers are lauding the enterprise and lending financial support. 225 students were enrolled during this, the first year. The University was fortunate in securing as dean for this College, Edgar C. Ritchey, B. of Sci. in Agr., Ohio State University. Upon completion of present plans the O. N. U. will have one of the best Agricultural schools to be found in the state. 137 FRANKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY T HE Franklin Literary Society was founded in 1871 . During the forty years of its existence it has grown steadily in influence and power un¬ til to-day it is one of the most influential institutions connected with the Ohio Northern University. Adversity is a common thing among all organizations, peoples, and nations. It is true that the Franklins have had some ups and downs in their lives, but they were never quitters. Their strong determination always brought them success. Franklin hall has often resounded with the voices of nien that are ' now famous in the affairs of the world. Week after week, term after term, Franklins from all parts of the world have assembled in Franklin Hall, each making preparation to start on the changeful journey of life. What bright hopes and what high ambitions have animated the bosoms of those, who from time to time assembled in their hall to mingle in social union! Here many a poor boy, struggling against adversity, has caught the inspiration that spurred him onward and would not let him rest until he climbed high on the ladder of fame and secured for himself the blessingS of influence and power. How many have gone forth from this hall to fill positions of honor and trust! And as the years roll on, and many others come and go, who shall meas¬ ure the influence that will emanate from this centre, or who shall say what grand possibilities are yet in store for the Franklin Literary Society? We are rapidly borne onward in the current of time, ever entering upon new scenes, beholding new beauties, and enduring new trials. Others will take our places Franklin Hall 140 when we have gone forth from the school. But amid all the varying changes of life may the remembrance of our school days never cease to be a pleasure to us, and may we always have a warm word for the institutions of greatest possibility and opportunity — the Ohio Northern University and the Franklin Literary Society. The dominant characteristic of the Franklins who have gone out from the Ohio Northern University into the world of reality and activity has been the ac¬ complishment of results. The following letters are testimonials of the value of a literary training, and especially of a training in the Franklin Literary Society. Mr. I. N. Kuhn, of Waynesburg, Pa., says: “If I have had any success either in the business or professional world I owe it more to the Franklin Literary Society than to any other one thing connected with my school life.” “There is no institution today that is nearer to me than the Franklin Literary Society of the Ohio Northern University.” From the “Platform” of November ve get the following sketch of Mr. Kuhn’s life: The old log house where Lincoln was born was a good companion piece ot l.ackwood’s architectural grandeur to the one in Greene County, Pa., where one of the old-time grannies left a tiny baby to share with some of the greatest men that ever lived, the honor of being born in a log cabin. This little stubby-nosed, sqtu.lling mite was looked upon by his fond par¬ ents as a part of a modern covenant that demanded that this son be dedicated to the cause of education, enlighten¬ ment, and the greater uplift that knows no creed and sees God in the lives of men; so he was set apart and christened Isaac Newton, his other name being Kuhn. “I will not go Lack to the days when little Ike shared his bread and pota¬ toes with the chickens, and the old family dog was his greatest protector and friend, for I am writing this story for men and women and I feel that a little study of Ike” Kuhn’s later life is an inspiration and in some respects an ideal one. “The people of Waynesburg will tell you that Ike” Kuhn is a lucky fellow. Rut is he? Is it luck or pluck that sent a one-suspendered youth from a farm, upon which its owner could not raise anything but children, to the center of the industrial march of progress, where he stands today mid way between J. Pier- pont Morgan, who does everything and the loafer, who does nothing? 141 Waynesburg, like many another town that found itself in the midst cf a boom, was unable to withstand prosperity, and a few years ago the very air was charged with easy money. Adams County, Ohio, differed from Greene County mostly because its voters were cheaper; but like all systems of political corruption, this one worked its onn downfall, and in its headlong tumble bell- ward this system dragged down some of the most useful men and women in the country. Her oldest bank closed its doors never to open again; death swallowed up some; the penitentiary dosed its doors upon another, and panic and distrust paralyzed the rest. For five years the tinplate mill lay idle; not a sound was heard. Then I. S. Kuhn put his shoulder to the wheel and within a short time the whir of in¬ dustry was heard again. Two hundred and fifty men returned to work and approximately fifteen thousand dollars per month was again paid out in wages with I, S. Kuhn as president of the Osterlerg Tinplate Company. Was it luck or was it pluck that started the mill 3 Down near the Mason and Dixon line, cn the West Virginia side, lies a block of coal of twelve hundred acres. Mr. Kuhn began picking up a fen- acres here and there until finally he owned it all. lie sold it all in one body. He realized from it a neat little sum of money. Was it luck or was it pluck? Success always opens up the way to greater success. Mr. Kuhn fled before the rising tide of coal field enthusiasm, sought out Smith Valley, Nevada, and Kuhn Contestants, 1912 . Alary Joseph R. E. Lisle C. T. Conklin R. L. Owens Edna Pugh Etta Crumrine 342 Miss Gill’s oration, “The Na¬ tion’s Awakening,” won first prize in the Lehr Oratorical Contest. Miss Gill also won second prize in the Kuhn Ora¬ torical Contest. Mr. Nelson’s oration, “The American’s Debt of Exis¬ tence,” won first prize in the Kuhn Oratorical Contest. Mr. Nelson is at present in Bos¬ ton studying for the ministry. there organized a four hundred thousand dollar corporation that now owns five thousand acres near the town of Wellington, where they are preparing to build a dam capable of irrigating nine thousand acres of desert land, that may never bloom like the rose, but the product of the land will find its way into the market and some day furnish the facts for another story, like the biblical account of Jos¬ eph turning starving Egypt into a store house of plenty. “Yes, I. X. Kuhn is president of the Smith Valley Land Company, and much of the success and enthusiasm that marks the progress of this Nevada Modern Miracle is due to his foresight, enthusiasm, and business sagacity.” Before entering college at Ada Mr. Kuhn worked for fifty cents a day. His father gave him twenty-six dollars to aid in defraying his expenses while in school. As a student he worked for his board and, besides, received six dollars for looking after the Society hall. He came to Ada as a country boy, radiating pluck. He enrolled as Isaac Newton Kuhn. This verdant youth from Greene County soon had them all sitting up to take notice when it came to hustling for new members in the literary society. Today he is a trustee of the Ohio North¬ ern University, elected by the Alumni of the University. He has taken a great interest in the cause of education both at home and where his own Alma Mater has been concerned. His recent gift of five thousand dollars to the endowment fund has made Mr. Kuhn dear to the heart of every O. X. U. student. 143 I he Kuhn Oratorical prize first offered in T905 to run for ten years, has stirred others to action and a glimpse at the catalogue shows that his lead has been followed in this field also. Mr. Kuhn stored enough of the Scientific course away in his system to get a diploma, and then lie proceeded to the study of law, which profession he now follows. Mr. Kuhn is truly one of God ' s noble men, of whom there are millions in this world. But we have not the good pleasure to know them all as we know Mr. Kuhn, our firm, loyal, generous Franklin friend. From Albert A. Crecilius, the leading man in “Madame X Company we have the following :— Dear Fellow Franklins: —Flow can a few weak words of mine add any¬ thing to the strength of an institution like the Franklin Literary Society, which has to its credit so many living monuments throughout the world in whom nobil¬ ity of charity is blended with efficiency? Yours fraternally, Albert A. Crecilius. From Mr. H. D. Freeland, superintendent of the schools of Greene Coun¬ ty, Penn., we have the following letter:— Dear Fellow Franklins: —We hear the argument advanced many times that the day of the orator is past; that the press-newspapers, magazines, and periodicals of different kinds are taking the place of the public speaker. Such argument can not be based on a careful observation of the demand of the times. There will ever be a place of honor and renown for the individual who can stand in the presence of an audience and express logical thought in an elegant and fluent manner. The world is bidding higher today for the orator ' s voice and power than ever before. ' Hie young man or woman who goes through college and dees not develop, at least to some extent, the power of public speech, lias neglected one of the most vahiable privileges offered to college students. Many young men are grad¬ uating from some institution with a little Latin and less Greek, but positively without ability to make an appropriate speech of acceptance if they were to be presented with a gold headed cane or one hundred shares of bank stock. Such is not the case of those who have been active members of the Franklin Liter¬ ary Society in old Xorthern. Personally, I can say that to no other department of educational work do I owe as much as to the Franklin Literary Society. She placed me in the re¬ sponsible position which I now occupy — the head of the schools of Greene County. Had it not been for the training received within her walls, especially upon her stage, undoubtedly some other man who was more able to mould pub¬ lic sentiment would have been holding my position today. ' Thankful to the old Society for benefits already received, pledging my life¬ long allegiance to her, and recommending her as one of the best places on earth to get a real training for public life, may I ever remain, A fraternal Franklin, H.

ADELPHIAN SOCIETY HISTORY Motto:—“Ad Astra Per As[ ' era.” A BOUT the time of the founding of the N. W. O. N. S. (now the O. X. U.) two Literary societies were originated. One was named the Frank¬ lin, a name-sake of the great Philosopher of the New World, the other the Philomathean, a lover of learning. These Societies continued to flourish with the school, meeting in what is now the old Normal Building, until the accommodations were not sufficients meet the demands of the great number of students flocking about the Normal to drink from the fountain of learning. These demands had to be met with a new building erected in A. D., 1879, in which were two beautiful literary halls, then supposed to be sufficient to accommodate the students seeking knowledge in the Normal, for all future time. These Societies entered into their new home highly elated, but executed their work with a suspicious eye and a jealous spirit. By the constant increase of the number of students, coupled with great energy, they so enlarged their enrollment that in a brief space of one year their accom¬ modations scarcely equalled the demands of those seeking literary advantages. It became necessary for the creation of a mediator. The necessity no soon¬ er became apparent than it was perceived by the eagle eye of the distinguished founder of the Normal. A project, to found a new society to act as the med¬ iator in allaying the acrimonious spirit then existing in the other two, presented itself to his mind. The new society was also to meet the demands of those who ORATORY D R. G. W. CRILE. of Cleve¬ land. Ohio, graduated from the Science De¬ partment in 1883 when the Adel- phian Literary Society was in its infancy. Since that time he has won a national reputation in the field of Surgery. However, in the midst of a busy career he has recently shown his loyalty to the old society by establishing an Annual Oratorical Prize of $25. This timely benefaction will not only add stars to his crown, but will increase the literary standard of the society and stimulate the greatest possible oratorical ex¬ cellence. Long may the name of Dr. Crile be cherished in the hearts of the Adelphians. Dr. G. W. Crile. would not unite their literary fortunes with either of the other societies, and to assist in executing that principle of moral, social, and intellectual develop¬ ment laid down and exercised by their institution of learning. To accomplish this the progressive founder began to search, among the young men who were not yet members of either society, for material suitable for laying the founda¬ tion of a new organization. Managing to assemble thirty-two of these young men. his next object was to ascertain their talent and ingenuity by a close obser¬ vation of their skill and cunning in debate. This being satisfactorily deter¬ mined. the new Society was organized Sept. 3, 1880. The officers were elected by acclamation, and the immortal thirty-two were christened the “Charter members of the new Society.” The new organization seemed to answer the purpose for which it was creat¬ ed. For a time it was looked upon as harmless, and favorable to catch students who were not advanced enough to associate with the higher Societies: but ere long this hidden talent began to make its power felt in such a manner that many ' secretly sought to ferret out “the power behind the throne.” No sooner was its place of concealment realized than it became the centre of envy and suspicion. Like any new society it suffered from many new and peculiar epithets, but its us true appellation was “Adelphia,” a brother. In these names we can perceive the patriotism of the founder of the school and the three Societies, and his re¬ membrance of the native state of his ancestors, “Penn’s Woods.” To one of the Societies he gave half the name of the “city of Erotherly love,” Philo, to another, the latter half, “Adelphian,” and to the other the name of its greatest citizen. We have endured many reverses and labored under many disadvantages, yet in the midst of all these we have made marked progress. The obstacles in our path to success being removed, we as a Society are respected by the school in general. As soon as the clouds of adversity were broken, the sun of pros¬ perity, such as even the most hopeful had not dreamed of, presented itself above the dispersing clouds. Our motto: “Ad Astra per Aspera,” takes a front place above the stage drapery, and the history of the past is proof that no motto has been more wisely chosen or faithfully followed. Still perceiving, still pursuing, the Adelphian Literary Society has main¬ tained its peerless position in the Ohio Northern University, during the past year. With members intelligent and active; with enthusiasm, unbounded and inexhaustible, the Society has advanced and expects to achieve greater things in the near future. “Original Work” has been our slogan, and is our battle ciy at the present moment. A literary society must be judged by the quantity and the quality of the original work it produces; and judged by this standard the Adelphian Society has no superiors and few equals. The other departments of the society may have been slighted but “Original Work” has been the ruling passion in the past and shall be the guiding motive in the future. With “Bigger! Brighter! Better!” as our slogan for 1912,who can predict the future? Crile Oratorical Contestants, m 2 . B. S. Brown Miss Sinkey W. L. Manahan L. L. Bowers W. W. Eeck Ida Powell R OME had her Cicero; Greece had her Demosthenes; England had her Burke; America had hed Web¬ ster; but Adelphia has her Willis. And as the world honored these orators, so Adelphia honors Frank E. Willis. Born in Delaware county about forty years ago. our Adelphian Congressman has risen through his own efforts to the position of power and influence, which lie now oc¬ cupies. By slow and patient work, ad astra per aspera, he is climbing the lad¬ der of fame aiitl who can foretell the fu¬ ture? In the councils of the state, Mr. Willis has been a brilliant and useful figure during the past twenty years. For honest and efficient service, the voters of the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio sent him to Congress. His work in congress is proving itself practical, progressive, effici¬ ent and lasting. His voice rings out in favor of clean politics and in condemnation of bribery and graft. In many states Mr. Willis is known as an educator, lawyer, and orator, but the Adelphians know him as a friend and brother. The Adel¬ phian sky is studded with orbs of different lustre, hut the brightest star is Frank B. Willis. Some men achieve greatness; some have greatness thrust upon them; while others become Adelphians. When posterity reads the history of the world, the names of Adelphians will be prominent in eveiy line of work. Consider the in¬ finite possibilities found in these celebrities: Our Congressman-— Hon. Frank B. Willis. Our Scientist —Prof. G. C. Kreglow. Our Chemist— Prof. F. L. Berger.

T HE Adelphian Orchestra, as shown in the above picture, was organized at the beginning of the Fall Term, 1910. At that time the only members of the preceding year ' s Orchestra, still in the University, were Messrs. Henneman, Armstrong, and Hotbem ; so the new organization was largely com¬ posed of new musicians. Mr. McEachron was largely instrumental in getting the new Orchestra in gcod condition. During the Fall Term the Orchestra in¬ creased both in membership and excellence. Shortly alter the Xew Year opened, the Orchestra was greatly benefited by the acquisition of Mr. J. L. Davidson, of Tiffin, Ohio. Under Mr. Davidson’s leadership the Orchestra steadily improved until it was one of the best in the University. During the year 1910 - 1911 , the Orchestra assisted in numerous musical programs as well as playing for the Society at the regular meetings. They also furnished music for different Church socials throughout the year. The musical training .received by the members, together with the good-fel¬ lowship which characterized the Orchestra, have made the efforts of those in charge of the musical department of the Society well worth while. The Society wishes to take this opportunity to thank the members of this Orchestra for their music and their aid in making this Adelphian Society all that it is. K. B. M. 151 T HE Casket Ball season was much delayed on account of the great “Evan¬ gelistic Meetings. However as soon as the meetings were concluded, Mr. Fairless, who had been chosen manager of the Adelphian players, lost no time in calling a meeting and getting the “Players” in training. There were so many candidates that it was very difficult to select the team. At no time was the team at a loss for good players. Christy was chosen captain and under the direction of Christy and Fairless great team-work was developed. That our beys worked together is clearly shown by their record. They played five games, three with the Franklins and two with the Philomatheans, and won in every game. The scores were as follows:—first game Adel. 64 . Franks 20; second game Adel. 55. Philos 9 : third game Adel. 68, Franks 22; fourth game Adel. 45, Franks 26; fifth game Adel. 90. Philos 18. to score 322 points in five games of Basket Call, and to only lack five points of scoring as much in the final game as were scored against ilicni in the entire season is a record of which any team should feel proud. The Adelphians may well join in unison in giving “Sine Loud Rahs” for Fairless, for Christy, and for- each man on the team, because every man played a star game. Ai ei.phian Basketball Team.

Prev¬ ious to that time there had been but one literary society, the Ciceronian. But the school, then, had grown too large for one society; so the found¬ er. Dr. Lehr, decided to organize two societies. He accordingly divided the students into two groups, A ' s and TVs. At a meeting in Bastable ' s Hall, the A ' s chose the name, Franklin, for their society, the B ' s, Philomathean. Bastable ' s Hall, as a place of meeting, fell to tlie Franklins, so the Philomatheans withdrew to the basement of the old Methodist Church where an organization was effect¬ ed. G. Y. Rutledge and Miss Axie Marshall were chosen as the first president and vice president. After the erection of the Normal building the meetings of the societies n-ere held there. The presen t Commercial rooni was given to the societies, but as both could not occupy one room at the same time one society was compelled to meet in the then chapel hall, now the reading room. It was decided to allow the societies the literary hall alternately. Then a keen rivalry grew up to have the honor of holding the first meeting in the regular literary hall. The contention was settled by a foot race; Mr. Rutledge, the Philo runner, lost to Mr. Henry, tlie Franklin runner. When the present Administration building was completed two splendid halls were given, exclusively, to the literary societies. Again a contention arose. Both societies desired the north hall, the present home of the Philomatheans. Finally, the Philos paid tlie Franklins $25 for the choice of halls. The interest manifested in the societies in their early history is hard for us to understand, now. Programs began at 6:30 P. M. and lasted till midnight. Often, people came a distance of 10 or 15 miles to attend them. In this fact lies the secret of Northern ' s power and success. The students were trained to deal, not with theories and books, only, but primarily with nien and women. Such a training is tlie best equipment a man can have before entering into the competition and trials of a busy, practical age. Tho proud of our society ' s history, we are more deeply concerned with her present doings. The year 191 1-12 is resplendent with many achievements. At the opening of the Fall term only a mere handful of members were in school. Under the leadership of Oscar Allen these few succeeded in signing up a majority of all the new students, aniong whom were many of promising literary talent. Especial efforts have been made in every soliciting campaign to secure students who give promise of literary ability and activity. A fresh vigor and spirit has thus been added that forebodes well for the future of the society. For some time it has been a common saying that the literary societies were on the decline. The accusation was only too true. Many, who deprecated this decline, were attempting to restore the old time vigor by eulogizing the spirit of rivalry of former years, and exhorting the present members to emulate tlie l.M old-time rivalries. All such agitation proved vain, a fact for which we ought to be truly thankful. A few among the societies began to realize that the only way to deal with a ' deplorable condition is to study the situation and plan to meet it. The time for a constructive program to meet new conditions had come. There was practically no system in the management of the societies. So low hac! become the interest that, frequently, the rendition of the programs was not begun until 8:30 P. M. To remedy this intolerable condition the executive committees of the three societies passed a conjoint resolution—which was rati¬ fied by the societies — that the programs should be started at 7:30 P. M. and also imposed a fine upon any officer responsible for a delay. The good results of such a policy were at once apparent. The audience assembled earlier and in greater numbers. The financial affairs are the most neglected of all the society functions. At the beginning of the year the Philo society was seriously embarrassed by out¬ standing debts. Thru the vigorous and persistent efforts of a few, the funds were collected to pay these old debts, also to pay the running expenses prompt¬ ly. Too many students do not realize the necessity of keeping the societies in a healthy financial condition. After a long and varied exper ience the writer is willing to assert that the financial condition of a society is the measure of its efficiency in every activity. A better financial condition enabled the executive committee to install a new lighting plant, which gives fully twice the light at £ cost of less than .1 the electric system. Too much credit cannot be given Messrs. Clark. Allen, Elliot, McDaniels, and Tanner, for the efficient service they have rendered in securing much needed funds. With Miss Pearl A. M. Stahl as leader, the Philo girls selected a cast of characters to present the lively comedy, “Breezy Point.” This play was given twice in Philo Hall during the middle term. Mr. Ray E. Marchand the wide¬ awake, genial business manager of the troupe, made the necessary arrangements and had the play rendered at Harrod and Lafayette. The comedy was well received wherever given. The proceeds will be spent in purchasing furniture for the stage. Mention must also be made of the orchestra. The Philo orchestra, acknow¬ ledged as the best in the O. N. U., is no doubt the best orchestra the society has ever had. To Mr. Irving Garwood, the leader, great credit is due for the splendid music we have had during the year. Mr. Garwood has also rendered great service as chairman of the program committee. He has discouraged “catch programs” and held the society to real literary work. We believe it is safe t:o say that more original work has been done on the stage this year than in any two years for the past decade. We have heard much recently about society spirit, but what the societies really need is not “society spirit” but literary spirit. The work of the past year has done much towards developing such a spirit. Thru Dr. Lehr a debating prize of $25 was offered the society by a former, loyal member, Geo. Franklin Getty, of Los Angeles, Cal. The offer was ac¬ cepted and rules and regulations governing the contest were adopted. This 155 Philo Hall. contest will be held, annually, in the Spring term. The prize will be divided, $15 being given to first and $10 to second winner. To further stimulate and standardize literary work the society is now offer¬ ing a diploma upon the completion of a required amount of literary work. We regard this move of such importance that the rules and requirements are here given in full. First—A diploma will be granted upon the completion of sixteen credits in literary work. Second—A credit shall consist in taxing part on a regular program of the society, in one of the following wavs : Debate, Oration, Recitation, Address, Original Paper, or Music. Third—Xo person shall receive a diploma unless he shall have been in school at least eight terms. Fourth—Xo person snail t-e eligible tn receive a oipioma unless he has completed a first grade high school course, or the preparatory work of ithe Ohio Sorthern University. Fifth — At least one credit each term (eight in all) must be made, and not more than three made in one term shall be counted on the courses. Sixth—Three classes of diplomas wi ' lT be given to students majoring in debating, oratory, and music, respectively. Seventh—The requisite credits for the diploma in debating shall be: De¬ bates. eight credits; orations, two credits. The remaining six credits shall be made up of not more than two from each of the following: Oration, nxitation, address, original paper, or music. Eighth—For a diploma, majoring in oratory: Orations, eight; debates, two. Remaining credits made up from recitations, music, addresses, debates, and original paper as in seven. Ninth—Music diploma: Eight credits in music; recitations, two. Remain¬ ing credits made up as in seven and eight. Tenth—The executive committee shall have full power of granting di¬ plomas and the records of the society must show that the applicant is entitled to same. Executive Committee, O. F.

HISTORY OF THE ENGINEERING SOCIETY T HE Engineering Society of the O. N. U. was organized by Prof. W. E. Meyers, C. E. Prof. Meyers was a graduate of the University and was at the head of the Engineering Department of the Ohio Normal Uni¬ versity from 1888 to 1895. He resigned his position to become County Surveyor, arid moved to Kenton, Ohio, where he has since lived. Prof. Meyers saw that the young men in his department, as well as the students in any of the other departments in the University, needed literary training. There were three splendid literary societies in the school at that time, but the Engineering students, as a rule, did not take advantage of the opportunities for culture which they afforded. They excused themselves by saying that they were too busy with their studies and that, at any rate, Engineers did not need a literary training. Prof. Meyers thought differently and conceived the idea of organizing a society exclusively for the engineers, where topics of interest to the Engineer might be discussed, and where the Engineer Sews of the world might be reported. Accordingly, in the fall of 1890 a number of young men met and adopted a constitution and by-laws, and named the new organization “The Engineering Society.” There were ten charter members of the society. They met on Sat¬ urday afternoon in room No. 13 of the building now known as the Administra¬ tion building. This was for many years the room where Mrs. Maglott heard the Mathe¬ matics classes recite and on the old seats can still be traced the names of some of the members of that first Engineering Society. The keenest interest was manifested in these meetings. It was considered an honor to be placed on the program and the young man. who was thus hon¬ ored, put forth his best efforts to make his discussion interesting. The officers were elected as they now are, but there was a sharp competition among the seniors for the positions of presiding officer, secretary, and treasurer. The society has continued without interruption since its organization. The number of its members is something near three thousand. Among its members are some of the foremost engineers of the country. When they were in school they gave their time, energy, and thought, in the interest of this society. Thus both they and the society were benefited. Besides the regular work of an Engineering Society which is dissemina¬ ting a knowledge of Engineering news and Engineering projects among the students, it has undertaken and carried out a number of projects which have helped to mould the character of the school. In 1903 and 1904 a number of Engineers conceived the idea of changing the name of the school. This subject was discussed in the Engineering society and a committee was appointed to select a name and to confer with the faculty and President of the University. Mr. Hockley, Mr. Steel, and Mr. Irwin were members of this committee. The name of “Northern,” instead of “Normal” which was the objectionable word to the Engineering students, was suggested by one of the professors in IBS the school, and through the efforts of this committee the change was made from Ohio Normal University to Ohio Northern University but it was still O. N. U. as before. The idea of giving an Engineering exhibit came from the Engineering So¬ ciety. The idea of calling the graduate engineers of note to give addresses to the engineers of the University came from the Engineering Society. Mr. W. H. Adams of Detroit was the first one to respond to this call. About six years ago the members of the Engineering society each pledged to give the society five dollars out of the first month’s salary that should ex¬ ceed fifty dollars, for the purpose of purchasing books for an Engineering library. A number of these pledges were paid and had this good example been follow¬ ed by the succeeding classes we would now have a good working library for the College of lingineers. The aim of the Engineering Society is a good one, and fit 5 . ' entire college of Engineers should support it by attending its meetings and by becoming act¬ ing, working, paying members. The Seniors especially should feel it their duty and their pleasure to helo make it of far more sendee to the University. E. S. M. 163 Presidents O. N. U. Society of Engineers.

E A T the regular meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, held in Sew York City, February 9 , 1912 , the Board of Directors authorized the organization of a Branch at the Ohio Northern Uni¬ versity, to be known as the Ohio Sorthern University Branch of that Institute. The establishment of the O. N. I ' Branch is the result -of persistent and faith¬ ful efforts of Professor Ewing to raise the College of Electrical Engineering to the highest standing. Among the fortv-tvvo College Eranches, of which thirty are State schools and fulfilling the Carnegie requirements, O. N. U. ranks fifteenth in membership. The Institute is the national organization of the Electrical profession. It was founded in 1884. The advance of the Electrical profession owes much to the men who in founding this society foresaw advantages to be derived from an organization which would encourage the use of Electrical applications in every useful art, and which would afford opportunity for its members to meet and discuss Electrical problems and developments. The Instittite has been no small factor in bringing about the progress which has taken place in electrical applications and in the advancement of the profession as a whole. The object of the Institute i to advance the theory and practice of Electrical Engineering, of the allied Arts and Sciences, and the maintenance of a pro¬ fessional standing among its members. The first meeting of the O. N. U. Eranch. which was for organization, was held in the Administration Building on February 21. The following mem¬ bers represented the Branch at its organization : Professor D. D. Ewing, Jerry M. Ashley, Harry D. Bruhn. Frank M. Billhimer, Arlo V. Belding, George L. Carlisle, T. H. Frankenberry, J. Corwin Johnston. G. C. Joseph, Frank R. LePage, Benjamin Lassaff, Karl E. McEachron, Henry J. Meyer, J. S. Neid- ich, C. G. Nixon, R. JI. Pnnl, L. 4 Roberts. H. T. Sells. Floyd Turner. Harry E. Wright, J. Earl Wineland, Richard L. White, John D. Zimmerman, William T. Franks, Russel H. Smith, and Harry W. Burnlev. Officers for the year 1912 were elected as follows: Executive Committee, Professor D. D. Ewing, chairman, L. A. Roberts, Floyd Turner, I-I. D. Eruhn, and J. C. Johmston ; Chairman of Branch, T. H. Frankenberry ; Vice-chairman, T D. Zimmerman ; Secretary, R. L. White: Treasurer, G. C. Joseph. The meetings, which are held every month, afford opportunities for the members to become acquainted with, and to discuss problems that are holding the attention of the leaders of the Electrical profession. R. L. W. 166 Niswander Yambert Hafer Oistad THE ENGINEERS’ MALE QUARTET T FIE members composing this collection of serenaders are Frank Oistad, G. M. Hafer, D. Y. Yambert, and C. W. Niswander. Arranging these nightingales on a descending musical scale we have some such order a 5 this: Frank Oistad in the garret, first tenor; G. M. Hafer, upstairs with second tenor; coming down we find D. W. Yambert on the first floor, baritone; and last but biggest, C. W. Niswander chimes in from the basement with his basso prof undo. “Oft in the stilly night” when the “night shades” had covered all, you could find these midnight warblers in their characteristic Hoot-Owl poses before the “Old Normal,” behind the Pharmacy building, or at favorite places down town. Oft the last faint echoes of “Kentucky Bake” had scarcely died away when the light of the “Silvery Moon” was failing in the West. Ohio Northern has never had a more popular quartet. They were called upon at Chapel, in the Literary Societies, at receptions, and at almost every occasion, and never failed to please. Once more it might he said of them “As a boy I used to roam” “Way down yonder in the Cornfield,” “Far away in the South,’, “Under Southern Skies” ; oft¬ entimes some “Little drops of Water” would compel these gleeful singers to seek “An old port in a Storm.” 167 Moo Kow Moos.

C. A. of the Ohio Sorthern University was organized Wednesday evening, November 19th, 1884. There were forty charier members. Mrs. Eva Maglott, who has ever shown a motherly care €or the girls, was the first president. The first meetings were held conjointly with the Y. M. C. A. Later, when the association had grown sufficiently strong, a room in the Administration building was given exclusively to the organization. Since then the Y. W. C. A. has been an integral part of the university. The present year has witnessed a more extensive and perfect organization of the Y. W. C. A. Better organization has increased the attendance at meetings and rendered all efforts of the association effective. The inspiration derived from the devotional meet¬ ings has resulted in a strengthening of the spiritual life of the girls. The greatest blessing of the year was the religious campaign conducted by Evangelist Reed. In this great revival the Y. V. C. A. played an important part. The girls banded 171 Y. W. C. A. Room. themselves together and pledged time and prayer in a special effort to help their sister students. As a result of this vigorous personal work many of the girls who had become indifferent renewed their religious activities, while others who had never confessed the Master were brought into the fold. The powerful and convincing sermons of the Evan¬ gelist and the song service conducted by Bro. Grant were sources of great inspiration New life was infused into the association. A feeling of sisterly affection prevails, w hich, we hope, will forever remain. We are going out into the world, determined to live the higher ideals as God gives us to see them. The Association keeps in communication with the state organization. In November .Miss Mabel Eleanor Stone. State Secretary, spent three days with us, giving current Y. W. news and planning for the betterment of the Association. At Christmas time greetings were exchanged with the Young Women’s Christian Associations of ‘Miami, Glendale, Denison. Otterbein, Heidelberg, Ohio Wesleyan, Wilmington, and Ohio Universities. The Bible Study work in the books, “Training for Service,” Life of Christ,” and “Studies in John,” was conducted with marked success. “The Decisive Hour,” an instructive course in mission study taught by the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was completed by a class of young men and women. Eut the work of the year has also been marked by material progress. Sew paper and curtains of oriental pattern have added greatly to the attractiveness of the humble Association rooms. For many years the Association has been needing a piano. Plans were formed for raising the money, and on February 16 (Tag Day) a special effort was made, netting $175, to the piano fund. A new piano was purchased at once. 172 YOUNG MENS’ CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Geo. K. Goco, President Fi.oyd F. Turner, Recording Sec ' y Ralph L. Donnan, General Sec’y Board of Directors. Albert E.

A. of the O. N. U. has grown rapidly the past few years. To-day this association is second to none in activity and power. Some of the best speakers in both state and nation have accepted the invitation of Sec’y Donnan to come and address the student body. The discussions on college vices and other evils, by Prof. Shannon and Ted Mercer, were productive of good re¬ sults. State Sec’y Lichty has visited the association several times, helping it to plan and realize greater things. The Y. M. C. A. endeavors to serve the students. The General Sec’y conducts an employment bureau, thus assisting many students of humble means in sustaining themselves at college. Bible classes are formed during the winter terms and competent teachers placed in charge. A reading room well supplied with journals and magazines is open to members. Athletic feats are also encouraged by granting prizes to successful co mpetitors. R. W. Pratt, Mission Study .Don E. McDowell, Gospel Team C. T. Conklin, Social James S. -clayton. Membership Ralph L.

So brief yet effulgent a career as that of the Ohio Sorthern University, a school which commands the respect of other colleges of the Land, is a history not to be regarded as a mere consummation of human skill, but rather as a dispensation of Providence for good. Gazing through a niist as did Pythia to receive the messages of Apollo, we learn that the fame of our university rests upon actual achievements, whose good influences shall ever be abiding. The infant school of 1866 is indebted to its father. Dr. Lehr, for its unique character and amazing growth. Born poor, materially, but rich, mentally and spiritually, the father saw the necessity and possibilities of a poor man ' s university; saw what a benefactor such a school would be to the most worthy of mankind. Accordingly lie directed it with rare judgment and with a father ' s love over many a rough and weary path. Its growth was rapid and robust. From a Normal school it grew into a college, from a college into a unive rsity, until today under Dr. Smith ' s skillful leader¬ ship the Ohio Northern University is a presiding goddess of learning. Again let us look back to less than a score of years ago, when all-days play of two hundred and forty-five children had come to a close, when two hundred and forty-five mothers eagerly tied some little girl ' s bonnet or washed some little boy ' s hands to send them away to learn their first lessons at school. Onward and upward we have plodded thru these days, months, and years of preparatory training. The cherished memories of those earlier school days are indelibly recorded upon “Memory’s Walls. Today we are met. ble t with the richer experience of college life. The Class of ' 12 is speaking Its fond farewell. The busy, happy days spent here are over but—What an hour of triumph in school l ife! What an inspiration this week will be for future years of service! We have now come to the threshold of life for which the past years were the preparation. The occasion is both sad and glad. It were easy to fall into the manner of Ophelia “loaded with sweet flowers” and to murmur, “Here’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, and there’s pansies, that’s for thoughts.’’ Here’s a daisy for the class to follow. T would give you some our class flower but they withered all when Nineteen-Twelve passed from the college life. Let us pause a minute to consider the capacity of development. Our inner¬ most feelings are stirred with admiration and awe at the appearance of a great oak. It is evidence of the survival of the fittest. There is strength to battle with the storms; there is calm repose in sunshine, that stirs the enthusiasm of the beholder; and yet the fact is that all the spread of branch and all the depth of root and all the height were once contained in an acorn. As a result of capacity of development and proper training we have a won¬ derful record. The class is composed of two hundred and forty-five members, with a great variety of talent, intellect, and beauty. Our weight is thirty-six thousand four hundred and fifty pounds. Upon close and scientific investiga¬ tion it was discovered that the weight of the brains alone is one thousand pounds which is ten per cent niore than the normal weight. The height ranges from four feet and two inches to seven feet one and two-tenth inches or an average of five feet and ten inches making a total of fourteen thousand five hun¬ dred and eight feet, a length equal to the distance from Railroad Park to a mile beyond Hog Creek. Many have already shown traits of distinction as musicians, artists, teachers, poets, public speakers, arbitrators, pharmacists, and mechanics. Cautiously, however, we refrain from all undue manifestation of pride. Our environment was congenial to the best work we were capable of doing, physically, mentally, and morally. Professor Smull, Dean of the Engineering department, generously lectured with aesthetical power and good results, “On how to transform the appearance of a cow-puncher into that of statesman.” He has high ideals and advises us to look upward when we pray, for the sake of beauty. Then G. M. McCIeary at once begins to manipulate his optics in countless upward directions. J. L. Proskine sent to a well known firm for a noted hair lotion to apply to his upper lip. Professor Ewing emphasized input and output, to increase efficiency. He asked these questions: What are you doing? How are you doing it? And why are you doing it that way? Then with kindled inspirations he talks on evolution, how to make a pumpkin of a bean, or a railroad president of a brake- man. Here C. I. Smith. Clovd, and Herrick relate their thrilling experiences of being on the road, but are interrupted by a shrill whistle. Upon Investigating, Paul Reid, who has charge of the heating plant, is found to have increased the 183 efficiency of the boiler to one hundred and sixtv pounds of steam. The steam gauge is found deficient; thereupon, Chester Roe expostulates on the gaugeless engines at his home. Shall the gaugeless engine be considered? Lehman sees an opportunity for an eloquent speech. Jim Clayton takes it up where Lehman leaves off and suggests that it must be tlie man in the boiler, as it has been discovered in an engineering exhibition, that every boiler contains a man in it. It becomes an intricate problem. There is a request for more time and Moor (more) head. But Bruehn and Joseph come to the rescue by readjusting tlie gauge. During the past year the department has become a member of one of the strongest engineering organizations, the American Institution of Electrical Engineers, with T. H. Frankenberry as its first president. Donald Maglott, the son of our beloved instructors, Mr. and Mrs. Maglott. bas won distinction in various departments; just last year he was Captain of one of our military com¬ panies. Don works hard and believes in “paying the Price.“ But the Engineers alone are no longer “It”. They have compromised with the Pharmacs. The yearly combats between the Engineers and Pharniacs is now a matter of history. What an additional refinement ! So more class feuds! The last relic of barbarism has truly been eliminated. What a splendid substitute for discord is harmony, sobriety for rowdyism ! These are ties which, though light as air, are as strong as links of iron.” On the 29 th day of November, 1911, the following committees were chosen to serve in the council of arbitration; A. C. Cole, Frank S. Huff, Floyd Pocock, and J. E. Brim.son of the Pharmacy department. R. T. Callaghan, H. R. Daubens- peck, G. M. McCleary, Paul Reid, E. M. Moorhead. John Cloyd, and C. W. Lambert of the Engineering department. Past history has shown that “The march of human mind is slow.” But these men have proven that the Pharmacs and Engineers can apply ethics as speedily in government as in commercial enter¬ prises. The council of Arbitration conies to an agreement: the war god can find service no longer with his bloody hatchet. Feeling lie is no longer wanted the war god dies and is buried with all due respect. At the hour for burial the students meet on the campus; the flag is lowered to half-mast; the bell tolls while the Engineers and Pharmacs line up on each side of the funeral pyre with bared heads, as the band plays “Nearer My God to Thee.” Then slowly niarch tlie pall bearers with the casket and flowers. John Cloyd with his soft phonetic voice delivers an eloquent funeral oration, after which the flames devour to ashes the cruel emblems of past feuds. As we take a last look we see Professor Mohler going thru acrobatic feats which have not yet been interpreted. The Pharmacy department has thirty-one members; one-half of these have already passed the State Board examinations six months before the required time. Their literary qualities were favorably exercised during the past year. They furnished whole programmes in the literary societies. The Quinine Quartet sang. “Not tonight Frank not tonight”. Frank ITuff recited from Romeo and Juliet and, like Romeo mad with love, acted well his part. When he comes to the line, “I wish I were thy bird,” Eva McCleary is seen nestling closer to A. C. Cole. G. L. Bryant sang “Love’s ’Young Dream” with a degree of feeling and pathos that can only come from experience. Now we come to the department of Liberal Arts with its literary brilliancy. Here we trace the sparks of fire of Professor Freeman. He quotes at the rate of three hundred and forty words a minute, until we see pictures of life in nature, art,, and commerce. After quoting at this rate for forty-five minutes, lie stops, takes a breath, tells a story, then again takes us into the mysterious problems of life. All sit thrilled and awed; all see the beauty of Greece and tne grandeur of Rome; all live in the Elizabethan age. The ring of the bell breaks the spell and we shudder when we hear these words, “Tomorrow bring your new classic, the following day bring a written theme covering the book, on the third day bring your examination tablets and be prepared for a test.” Rachel Smith has been enkindled by this enthusiasm. She has mastered four languages, but finding she had more to say than she could express verbatim, she has associated herself with R. R. Foley, Captain Simpson, and N. L. Woodard, in editing a bi-monthly college paper, “The Northern Light.” This is the living light-fountain, a light which enlightens and will continue to en¬ lighten those who have gone before, also those who shall follow. O. F. Carpenter has long been recognized as a star, lie has been instructot as well as student the past year. Cesides excelling in Literature, Science, and Philosophy be is the editor-in-chief of our Annual, the “Northern.” R. B. Lisle and J. L. Manahan have decided momentous questions by debat¬ ing like a Calhoun and orating like a Webster. We are confident their names and fame shall live long after them. But the leader of men and women is he who can discern possibilities in the youths of his country and knows how to develop them. The profession of teaching offers such opportunities. Cora LaRue, Leonore Ream, and Stella Stein- metz have prepared themselves for this work. Luella Williams has decided to specialize in Domestic Sciences, but whether the training shall be practical or academic remains to be seen. The knowledge of this valuable art can not be attained, however, in the tennis court piaying love games with the Class President. To the Music department we are indebted for much enjoyment at chapel, for recitals, and entertainments. Leota Gilbert, Fern Reynolds, Grace Dunlap, Theo. Cooper, and Uarda Hays Seidner had to repeat selection after selection to answer the encores. Edna Baldwin’s favorite piece is the Erown two-step. Lela Degler likes martial music best; she played military airs with so much enthusiasm that everybody was inspired to act for his country, excepting Captain Simpson, who sat awed and transfixed. Nor has the moral nature been neglected. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have kept pace with the world’s movements, which bespeak the high standard of an institution of learning. When the blue and red aeroplanes left the campus last fall in quest of members, Earl Simpson, Paul Ernsberger, Chas. Aldrich, and R. W. Pratt stood at the helm of the blue; by their persuasive power and able maneuvering they came in first with the air ship loaded so full of students that the booster ' s smile is still traceable in the Secretary ' s physiognomy. The Y. W. C. A., too, has progressed. Their home has been transformed and refurnished. The old organ has been replaced by a new piano. Much of this change is due to Marv Jlowey and Fern Reynolds. All tlie labors, the rewards, the trials, and pleasures of our college clays, here close with this glorious week. We have been the heirs of tlie past half century of Ohio Sortliern. We have enjoyed the best she had to give. Each year shall, we believe, add improvements so long as the University lives and live she must and will. It is now time for the class of 1912 to say Farewell. Our places are to be filled by others. “We shall find a way or make one , yet as we go we shall look back as to a bright sun beam amid the shadows of the past. There are those before us today who hold especial claim upon our grati¬ tude. To the President and Professors we extend thanks for care and for the interest taken in the graduating class of ‘12. As we bid you adieu, believe that we will ever cherish in our hearts the thought, that largely to you we owe the privileges we have enjoyed. May you ever be able to look with feelings of heartfelt satisfaction upon all your efforts for the advancement of those who are enrolled upon the register of yoiir staunch and noble institution and especi¬ ally upon this band whose lot it is now to bid you Farewell. US6 CLASS PROPHECY i P ARLETTA CORA LARUE T O propresy the future destiny of the members of this class of ’12 has been no small undertaking. None of you, I think, are able even to imagine the weight of responsibility that has rested upon me for months. I have spent long hours pondering over your future. Withholding all visions which forebode evil, I shall now reveal to you all else that I, through the gift of proph¬ ecy, ani able to foretell. As I sat one evening before an open fire pondering over the future, I watched the grotesque shadows as they flitted hither and thither about the room. Suddenly there appeared before me the figure of an old man bent with age. A long, white beard swept over his breast, above which 1 saw a face wrinkled with care. Over his shoulder he carried a scythe and in his hand a queer old clock. As T watched him, he slowly turned the hands around on the dial until they pointed to 1932. I had scarcely had time to wonder at his sudden appearance when another figure stepped forth. It proved to be one of the genii, who control the destinies of mankind. On his arm he carried a piece of tapestry, which he said possessed the power to transport me wherever I wished to go. When I asked him how I should be convinced that it possessed such a quality, he replied, “I will spread the tapestry and we will both step upon it. Then, if you but make a wish to go any place you choose, we shall both be transported there immediately.” Filled with curiosity to know whether or not what things lie told me were true, I made a wish to go to Washington. Instantly 1 found myself in that city. The first person I met there was H. R. Daubenspeck. He told me that he had recently superintended the construction of a railway which extends from 187 Washington to Pekin by way of Behring Strait. In building this railway it was necessary to construct a tunnel under the Strait, a task which had required years of patient labor. A less persevering man than Mr. Daubenspeck would surely have sought fame in some less arduous task, but he had patiently, perseveringly, and persistently labored on and won the applause of two continents. I have still further proof of the patience, perseverance, and persistence of this dis¬ tinguished man for he told me that, although he could verify the statement of one, William Shakespeare, that “The course of true love never did run smooth,” he had, nevertheless, finally persuaded Luella Williams, class secretary 12, to be¬ come the sharer of his joys and sorrows, his triumphs and disappointments. He said that he owed all of his success to her for it was she who, through all his discouragements, had urged him to the goal. The great railway for which we are indebted to the efforts of Mr. Dauben¬ speck and his wife was built while R. R. Foley was Secretary of Interior. He served in that capacity during the administration of Roscoe Baker, who was the first president elected by the Socialist Party. Mr. Baker was the most popular president the U. S. has ever had. He astounded the whole civilized world when he delivered his first inaugural address, a part of which I shall quote to you. “Man’s relation to the soil is a basic relation. The history of land is the history of the race. On the land we are born, from it we live, and to it we re¬ turn again. To whomsoever the land at any time belongs, to him belongs the fruit of it. The great cause of inequality in the distribution of wealth is in¬ equality in ownership of land. It was not nobility that gave the land, but the possession of land that gave nobility. “Justice demands that each individual born into the world have equal chance for the enjoyment of all natural opportunities and especially those upon which he is dependent for existence. Land is a bounty of the Creator bestowed upon no man, but upon humanity as a whole. Here it ceases to be a subject for private ownership. What a man creates he may justly claim as his own but what nature supplies is the birthright of all.” Time forbids that I should quote more of this great address, which is universally acclaimed the most profound inaugural address ever delivered. Suf¬ fice it to say that it will be immortal in the annals of history. During my stay in Washington I met R. . Marchand, U. S. Senator from Ohio. It is a standing joke among the friends of this distinguished statesman that, when he arose to deliver his first speech in the senate chamber, he aston¬ ished that august assembly by giving nine long Rahs for the Philos. Another acquaintance whom I met was F. D. Tanner, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The face of this famous jurist wore such a haggard, dejected expression that I ventured to ask the cause of it. He replied, “You know I was always opposed to Woman Suffrage and the Recall; nevertheless, the} - each became a law of the U. S. Now they are causing no end of trouble, just as I said they would. Not long ago a case came up in which I was compelled to render a decision. It was a case in which Paul Ernsberger claimed that Grayce Dunlap had a copyright on some music of which he was the real author. I ren¬ dered a decision against Miss Dunlap. Now the women from all over the coun- 188 try have sent in petitions for my recall. The list is headed by such prominent women as Uarda Seidner, Ida Powell, Floye Crabbe, Ellen Palmer, Theo Cooper, Lucile Pool, Leonore Ream, and Stella Steinmetz. I am sure to lose my office.” I asked him if lie was married; lie quickly answered. “Never while the women run the country.” The poor man was the picture of despair. I tried to con¬ sole him, but all such efforts by one of my sex were futile. It was Chief Justice Tanner who showed me a copy of the Ohio State Jour¬ nal in which I read that Mary E. Howey had given such universal satisfaction, ouring her first administration as governor of Ohio, that she had been elected for the second term by an overwhelming majority. In the same paper I read an interesting account concerning the career of N. R. Carter, another member of the famous class of ’12. When he left the O. N. U., the Republic of China had just been established. Hearing that the new republic was facing many perplexing problems he at once set out for that country and took an important part in the adjustment of these difficulties, and in the establishing of the United States of China upon a firmer basis. He later became its second president. The new republic conforms in many respects to the United States of America. Mr. Carter proved his statesmanship by guard¬ ing that government against many of the perplexing questions which have caused so much difficulty in our own land. He made Woman Suffrage, the Re¬ call, the Initiative and Referendum, a part of the national constitution of his adopted country. He served his time as chief executive, refused a third term, and is now framing a code of procedure which, when completed, will far surpass the Justinian Code. “Ad Astra per Aspera,” under which he had so often stood when on the Adelphian stage, became his motto and he is still persevering along the old lines, growing gray in hard and continued service. Another important personage whom I met in Washington was the noted general, E. C. Reed, the one-time first lieutenant of Company D. He gave me a glowing account of his conquest of Mars, in which he had recently led the armies of the United States. He told me also that at the time of this conquest Ada Lee Eradt was sent as a nurse by the Red Cross Society. “As such,” said he, “she rendered efficient service to my sick and wounded soldiers.” Since my first venture upon the tapestry had proven so satisfactory, I, at this time, formed a wish to be transported first one place, then another, through¬ out different parts of our country. While in Coshocton, O., I saw a sign which read as follows: L. P. Lake, Justice of the Peace. Marriage ceremonies performed while you wait. In the same place 1 learned some interesting facts concerning the career of L. S. Leech. Soon after completing his college course lie went to Brazil, S. A., to practice law. There is undoubtedly no relation between his going to Erazil and the burning of the school buildings at Roscoe. He climbed rapidly to fame in his chosen profession. He has occupied every judicial position from justice of the peace to village mayor and thinks that he has not yet attained the climax of his career. He is married and has six children, all staunch Demo- 189 crats. His motto is “Train up a child in the way lie should go, an 1 when he is old, he will not depart from it.” In Cincinnati I saw Eva McCreary, proprietress of a wholesale drug store in that city. The world has dealt very kindly with Miss McCreary: neither the lapse of time nor the responsibility of business have as yet erased her character¬ istic smile. It was she who told me that E. O. Dauch and D. Allen Bond were superintendents of schools in the Republic of China anti that Charles Aldrich had gone as a missionary to the Fiji Islands, having taken a Mann with him as a companion and protector. At a theater in Chicago I met Edna Pugh, who is starring in “Polly of the Circus.” From her I learned that EfEe Roop had become a very successful in¬ structor in piano at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and that Fern Reynolds had married soon after leaving the O. S. U. and was living on a farm near Norwalk, Ohio. Going to Los Angeles, Cal., I saw a person who looked familiar and yet the name had passed from my memory. I tried to recall it but in vain, until I was spoken to by W. J. Walker. He told me that he went west to grow up with the country anti had been keeping pace with its rapid progress. In politics he is a progressive but belongs to the wrong party to have his merits recognized in that state. His business is practicing law, making political speeches, taking care of a wife and nine children, writing on the subject of Woman Suffrage, and lecturing on how the whole people should rule except in the home. I should be glad to give a more extended sketch of this famous man, but time forbids. At this time I wished that we might be transported to the O. S. U. and instantly found myself amid her old familiar scenes. Although the scenes were familiar, there were many changes. The Lehr Memorial, no longer a possibility but a splendid reality, raised its noble tower above the buildings which I remem¬ bered so well. Sot far distant was a girls’ dormitory, which I learned had been built in 1915 by Pearl A. M. Stahl. At the hour for chapel I entered the Auditorium where Dr.- Smith still pre¬ sided. After listening to the old familiar strains of Work for the Sight is Coming,“ I heard the following interesting announcement : “R. B. Lisle, who will give the second number on the lecture course, will be here Wednesday eve¬ ning. He is a lecturer of great renown being well known both in this country and in Europe. He will give his famous lecture on ‘There is Only One Girl in this World for Me.’ Let every one be out.” Dr. Smith then told us that L. H. Streck, who had graduated from the law department in ’12, had become a wealthy corporation lawyer anti had just sent a check for $5,000 with which to buy books for the library. He also said that J. T. Kelbatigh had recently been placed at the head of the Science department at Chicago University. After chapel I went to room thirteen of the Administration Building. Here I found a new teacher, Rachel Smith, an assistant to the venerable Dean Whit¬ worth. She had not been able to improve upon his methods for I learned to my utter dismay that utor, fruor, fungor, potior, vescor anti their compounds still govern tlie Ablative case. Th the library I found a copy of the Ohio Educational Monthly in which I 190 read tlie following advertisement : J. L. Manahan’s new work on Modern Edu¬ cational Method has just come from the press. Anyone intending to take up teaching as a profession will do well to procure a copy for it contains a com¬ plete discussion of education, correlation, concentration, co-ordination, compensa¬ tion, subjugation, and insubordination. The chapter on compensation is of espe¬ cial interest to all teachers. Price $1.00 at all book stores. 1 also found a copy of the Northern Light in which I read the following interesting items: Helen Ottmer is instructor of history at Cornell. She has just completed a history of the world, which is attracting great notice for it is the most complete work of its kind ever offered to the public. O. F. Carpenter, who has for some time been teacher of psychology at Harvard, is now president of Columbia University. The great Prim a Donna Madame Leota Gilbert is touring Europe in com¬ pany with tlie noted pianist, Mrs. Leila Degler Simpson. They are accompanied by Mrs. Simpson ' s husband, W. Earl Simpson, the editor-in-chief of the Brown Book. A. C. Cole, a former graduate of the pharmacy department, has recently been appointed chief chemist U. S. A. G. M. McCleary is at the head of the Hammersmith Engraving Company, which makes a specialty of College Annuals. He will be remembered as the young man who, during his last two terms in college, carried five studies and kept regular company with three young ladies, corresponded with two more, and was business manager for the Annual Board. The records show that he never missed a class, and the young ladies say that he never missed a call. G. L. Bryant is a successful druggist at Wellington, Ohio, where he located soon after completing his college course. The librarian showed ine a volume of poems which was the latest work of George Milton Harris, a noted American poet. He took his first step on the rounds of the ladder of fame when he became class poet in 1912 . Ever since then he has been climbing steadily, round by round. It is thought that he may yet reach the top. He has already become so famous that he is known as the Longfellow of the twentieth century. I had hoped to be able to tell what the future had in store for each member of this class, but just at this time my attention was attracted by a strange looking object which was approaching through the air. It proved to be an airship which had been sent out under the auspices of the Scientific Association- of tlie O. N. U. to the new planet, Leo, discovered by O. G. Lyon. In a few moments it reached the earth, whereupon the occupants who were Jim Clayton, C. I. Smith, J. K. Cloyd, Chester Roe, Ralph D. Hill, and J. L. Proskine, all began tc talk at once. They raised such a tremendous uproar in attempting to tell of their wonderful adventtires that I awoke and the vision vanished. With my awakening came a fuller realization that life is a reality, not a dream; that the future destiny of each member of this class depends upon his own individual effort. The life of each one of us will be very largely what we wish it to be. The good which we shall do for others will he the true measure of our success. 101 CLASS POEM GEORGE MILTON HARRIS When upon the waste of waters. Sailors, searching for a guide. Look about the arching heavens; View the stars on every side; Till at last, far in the azure Looms a brilliant beacon light, And the storm tossed ship is guided Safely through the darkest night. So it is with our ideals. Far beyond our reach they lie; In the future we behold them. Bright as stars against the sky. If we choose them and obey them, They our guides through life will be; If we follow where they lead us. We will reach our destiny. They ' re the stars of hope that glisten When our sun seems to decline; During darkest days of progress They’re the lights that ever shine; They our aspirations kindle; They our plans of life evolve; O ' er our doubts they cast a shadow; Light the paths of bold resolve. Men of old had old ideals; We today new visions see; Through the nations now are ringing Words that calmed Lake Galilee. And the thirst for blood and slaughter Soon forevermore shall cease. For the voices of the nations Call for universal peace. And the time must come when banners By the right shall be unfurled; When the “patriots of the nation Shall be patriots of the world.” Right shall conquer in the struggle ’Gainst the selfish and the strong, ’Gainst the armies of injustice, The conservers of the wrong. We have learned that men who battle And are slaughtered in the van. Better than the kings they fight for Can control the rights of man. We have learned that trust in truth, that Speaks through manhood great and small, Will overcome the few’s oppression. By intrusting power to all. Classmates, we with new hearts beating. At this dawn of our new life; W e with youth that gives assurance Right will conquer in the strife; For whom work is recreation. For whom victory has wide scope. We who nothing know of failure. Guided by the star of hope, Ours it is to see that tyrants Push no neighbor from his path Who would then have laws enacted T o restrain their neighbor’s wrath. Ours it is to teach men freedom; Teach them where its boons begin; Teach them life, for “souls are never Free without till free within.” lflS All of good is aid to mankind. Wet it is by man suppressed: Alan with many fears and failings Sever can be fully blest. Cut from men of nobler action Other men must learn the right; Love for all mankind must rule them. Ere they witness freedom ' s light. Man will never cease to murmur Cntil Truth impels his acts; Love alone for every duty Makes his life free from attacks. Xever will oppression vanish Cntil each man plays his part : Every prison-door will open When love dwells in every heart. High and low alike are equal. And their tasks are great and grand; Each must cheer the shipwrecked sailor Tossed upon the beaten strand ; Each must bind the heart that ' s broken : Make the beggar ' s life sublime : Soften every deep affliction. An.I blot out the paths of crime. He is great whose toil and labor Cheers the lowly and oppressed : He is rich whose golden treasures Are contentment, joy, and rest : He is brave whose strength can conquer Each injustice, crime, and sin : He is king who governs rightly All the passions from within. Perfect life is our Ideal, Perfect mind and heart and soul : All the gifts that God has given Lead tis onward to that goal. Eack of Nature’s robe the mystic Sees a life he dare not name: Yet with faith in its perfection He prepares that life to claim. 191 God is Lord through Independence, The fulfillment of man’s mind Is a satisfied Ideal Like which there is none in kind. But man’s longing for completeness Raises him above that plain Where the ox finds his enjoyment. Where like slaves men toil in vain. When a slumbering nation rises With a deep desire for light. Dawning day looks down upon it And dispels the gloom of night. Then the people thank the heralds Who have crossed the ocean wide. Bringing light to darkest places And the strength of truth beside ; And we glory in the nation Whose Ideals, high and sure. For humanity and justice Shall forevermore endure. We rejoice that men of purpose Drive stagnation from its throne; Start the wheels of progress moving, Eringing millions to their own. Freedom’s Light will soon be scattered Unto all the ends of earth. Starting from the manger-cradle Where true freedom had its birth. Onward, like a mighty comet. Has the Christ Light sped along. Giving light to men in darkness Teaching men how to be strong. In the future our Ideals Will to each of us reveal Paths that lead us to the sunlight. And the paths that crimes conceal. When the ones who grope in darkness Shall be lifted to the light. Springs of good that well vitl ' in us Shall reflect a fairer sight. tfW When man toils beside his brother, Conscious that he ' s in the right. Teaching him the ways of wisdom While upon him shines the light; Soon in all its glow the harvest Shall requite him for his toil, For he ' s trained the fruits of culture In the soul as in the soil. Thus humanity progresses. Gaining more than what is sought; Blazing trails through field and forest; Making paths for love and thought ; Binding nation unto nation. By the laws of love and truth; Giving duty high position, In the glowing eyes of youth. Knowledge lifts us from the shadow. Where the darkest doubt holds sway ; Duty goads us on to labor, Soon as dawns the light of day; Goads us on to where in grandeur Our Ideals quickly rise; Love abides throughout the journey And awards the final prize. Men today their lives are sifting Through alluring lucre ' s sieve. Veiling substance by the surface. Knowing not what life can give. Mere frivolities, destroying Bright and deeper things of youth. Are the misty, murky fog-banks All along the sea of Truth. Why does youth, with all advantage, Spurn the worth from day to day; Choose the husk that wraps the kernel, Casting all things else away? Why distress with meanest trifles Each aspiring soul and mind? Let them follow high ideals! Let them toil for all mankind ! 196 Men who toil in field or market Or in legislative hall Must forget the things material For the Power that rules us all. When the self shall be forgotten. Through the ages men will trace Paths where wealth and rank and honor Came to aid the poor and base. Then the world shall be as pure As the kingdom of a child; Love shall rule the world of wisdom Where the Truth is undefiled. Truth that through the darkest ages Wisdom’s path can clearly trace, And proclaim that all true Learning Is a-growing large in grace. Toward the future we are wand’ring Where unknown things hidden lie : Clouds and sunlight are so blended That they veil the azure sky; Heaven’s dim and tinted shadows Are reflected in the soul. In the feelings that within us Rise and pass beyond control. We have lingered on our journey, During brightest days of youth. And have gleaned from learning’s meadow Rarest flowers of Love and Truth. Now our paths will lead us onward. Some by rippling, singing brooks. Where bright flowers bloom in beauty In their cool and shaded nooks. Some will lead o’er rocky barrens Downward through the vale of tears; All will lead to where life’s treasures Lie in store for toil of years. Morning’s sun has risen quickly And is passing into noon. And beyond the line its setting Will upon us fall so soon. But each lengthening, lingering shadow. Bathed in twilight’s guise of gray. Gives assurance of the dawning Of a bright and perfect day. When the Love that speaks transcendent. Through the blazing stars of night, Shall reveal the Great Ideal Where H e reigns in Realms of Light. 197 VALEDICTORY 30 THE ERA OF CONSCIENCE N. R. CARTER T EIE most ordinary observer of events can not but notice that there has been a great awakening on the subject of individual responsibility in the affairs of men. Just when it began or where it originated would indeed be difficult to determine. But that the ever-increasing martyrs of advoca¬ tion are rewarded with the encouraging signs that the people are conforming their actio n to the abstract principles in which they profess belief is surely con¬ vincing testimony of this awakening. The wave of reform initiated by those at the forefront of social progress hac swept into every cove and comer of the community. The patriots of to¬ day. the men whose names are echoed in the public press and who are now and then covered with calumny, are the nation ' s heralds in its incessant movement toward the zenith. And for these patriots we must bear the same high respect which we accord to the fathers of an earlier day, who piloted the nation through crises no less serious than those which confront it at this hour. Through the providence of God, the progress of the world has been slow and steady, marked by gradations, that each step recognized as a distinct victory may serve as an incentive to renewed action in reaching the goal of perfection— the attainment of the human ideal. These steps of the world ' s progress have ranged themselves, apparently for our better understanding, in eras. It is only by looking backward over the history of the past, noting n-hat was the incentive of all these past eras, and who were the men that led the van in each period, that we can truly estimate the value of the present, that we can understand why today, so strikingly different from all ages passed, should be called the Era of Conscience. The first era of civilization might have been termed the Era of Consciousness —when men knew or cared little for more than physical existence. But the leaven of the human inspired some chosen one to desire something better and higher; so individual consciousness gave way to social consciousness, and the family, the tribe, became of more importance than the individual. This gave rise to a higher moral quality—a sense of loyalty which taught men the value of union and of service to others. But the need of leaders, which the most primi¬ tive society demands, became a source of evil as well as good. It brought for¬ ward superior men ; but their superiority was based upon physical force and prowess. This was an era of strife that could have no ending except that which finally came in the first crude beginnings of national life—feudalism, when the mass of mankind were little better than slaves. Though this condition from our modem point of view seems only an evil, yet it was the necessary element of good. Men learned two lessons : obedience to authority and the value of loyalty. The age of feudalism gave way to a still more highly organized society— the Age of Monarchy, of Despotism. This meant that there were at least grada¬ t ions of slavery; that if there was a powerful leader, there were also powerful men under him, and that those actually oppressed were growing fewer in pro¬ portion as the ages passed. This period was followed by what may be called in government the era of church ascendancy, a period in which the Christian religion seemed destined to be crushed in the struggle of the church for temporal power. But again all things worked together for good and the age of the Refor¬ mation dawned. This meant, besides its supreme value to religion, the awakening of the human intellect to a sense of individual responsibility. The next period, the Renaissance, with its great intellectual uplift for man was followed naturally by the demand for religious liberty. This brought to the new world the makers of our great country, with their ever-living ideas of righteousness. What we today owe to these Pilgrim and Puritan Fathers can not be estimated. But we know that to them we are indebted for one of the essential principles of Ameri¬ can liberty — the right to worship God according to the dictates of our own con¬ science. It was not strange that the period of religious liberty should have been fol¬ lowed in the next century by the period of civil liberty. This has been called 199 the age of Revolution because for the first time men began to have the idea of equal rights of individuals. It was this doctrine of individual rights as en¬ shrined in the Declaration of Independence that became the corner-stone of our nation. It is this doctrine which in spite of all seeming contradictions has made us a great people. Perhaps it is not to be wondered at that the first great result of civil liberty should have been that material progress which ushered in the cemmercial era. A review of the nineteenth century shows that the progress of the world has sprung more than all else from new ideas—ne - ideas interpreted in action. The nineteenth century gave an impetus to civilization such as had never been felt before. It has been called an age of material progress; but should rather be called an age of invention, of discovery, of new ideas; a century of scientific achievement, of scientific success. It was a century of true success from the viewpoint of service. Never were so many things added to the comfort, convenience, safety, and happiness of all mankind. But the nineteenth century had something still better for man. For the first time it was realized that these material benefits should be for all human kind, and that the man benefited was greater than the benefit. The nineteenth century, we may well say, was a wonderful century in its material, mental, and moral advancement. Yet it was most wonderful of all in the preparation for its greater successor—the twentieth century, which may truly be called the Era of Conscience. And how has this era come to pass? How has the conscience of men been awakened? May we not say emphatically by man ' s realization of his duty to his fellowmen? The progress of the world, the evolution of mankind, has reached the point where the dignity and worth of man, the individual, is recog¬ nized and the sense of human brotherhood, of human unity, has been made for the first time impressive. A new epoch for faith, a new era of conscience, seems indeed to have come, and to the twentieth century is given only the problem of its perfect fulfillment. To those who see only the surface of things the present seems rather the day of the rule of evil. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The very fact that so much evil is presented to our view is proof that at last the wickedness of the world is being brought from its hiding in darkness to the healing sunlight of the day. Corruption thrives only in secrecy. When it is brought to public view good people rise with all their might to destroy it. We still have a large body of citizens who fail to use their rights of civic duty; we still have cor¬ rupt party-managers and law-makers ; we have plutocracy, and widespread de¬ nial of the brotherhood of man. 2(10 But the great wave of reform that is sweeping over our country at this time is sure to leave strewn upon the sands of time the bleaching images of these evils. Evil will always rise in its might to resist; the struggle will be fierce, often a fight to the death of righteousness. Yet may we not believe that in this twentieth century the battle will be to the strong, the strong will be the righteous, and righteousness will prevail ? Then we will recognize the result of a nobler conception of manhood, a widely awakened individual conscience — the standard of greatness measured by the example of the Master, the greater the man the greater his service to mankind. It is often said that men are raised tip for their times to meet some great need of the world. Washington, for instance, seems to have been sent into the world to save our land for a free people and to make us a nation greatest among nations. It is good to believe that we are so favored by God that he would special¬ ly prepare for us a great leader and founder, and the thought should increase our patriotism and our reverence for our country. Eut it is just as true that every man is b ' orn for his time. Upon each of us is laid the responsibility of service equal to our powers. And it is this responsibility felt by a constantly increasing number of men that has made this an Era of Conscience. Francis Peabody, in his illuminating book, Christ and the Social Question, said, “Xever before were so many people, including all classes and conditions of men, so stirred by a recognition of inequality of social opportunity, by calls to social service, and by dreams of a better social world.” To solve the questions of labor, which involve the happiness of men, women, and children in such numbers, men are beginning to seek the guidance of conscience, to frown upon class privileges, to demand laws that will destroy the unrighteous and oppressive power of the interests and that will regard the r ights of the least as well as the greatest member of the community. The awakened conscience of the people is making plain the fact that political corruption, drunkenness, national vice, and a score of kindred evils in our cities, states, and nations are simply unrighteousness, dangerous alike to the liberties of the people as a whole and to their character as individuals. It is because of this awakened conscience that the people of our country are beginning to say these evils shall no longer thrive in our midst, we will rise in our might to put them down. But in the conflict with these enemies we have no use for the sword, but there is a stern demand for that courage shown by Americans on so many battlefields. The spirit they have shown as soldiers of war we should exhibit as soldiers of peace in the noblest work to which the patriot can be called—the 201 supreme and sublime effort to bring a little nearer, day by day, the time when brotherhood and charity shall rule instead of avarice and greed; when special privilege in every form shall be destroyed and equal rights to all enthroned as the ruling principle of public, and the guiding principle of private life. These fundamental principles can only be attained when we as individuals faithfully and conscientiously exercise every civic duty incumbent upon us. In a monarchy all power is vested in the individual sovereign. In our republic the people as a whole are sovereign. Then what is our responsibility as individuals? Kach of us is one ninety-millionth of a sovereign. Small it may seem but it marks the distinction between the sovereign and the subject. Some of tis may say, if the affairs of state were left entirely with us, public evils would not esist. If this be true with the whole duty, why not then more perfectly exercise it when tlie great division of duty has made our individual burdens correspondingly light? If we are unfaithful in part would we be more faithful with all? He that is faithless with a portion can not be trusted with the whole. So to meet and overcome the evil in our midst nothing can be more power¬ ful than the individual influence of educated Christian men and women. “It is the human mountain peaks that catch the sunlight first,” and the fact that so many noble Christian men and women are today helping to swell tlie great wave of reform that is passing with its cleansing and vivifying influence over our great country is clearly a sign that the sun of conscience is rising, and we may confidently hope it will soon reach the brightness of perfect day. And now a t the close of what, as a class, and as individual members of the class, is the crowning event of our college lives, an occasion which is a joyous triumph shared by each alike, let us dwell for a moment upon the pleasant memories of the past and the fond anticipations of the future. We have come to the parting of the ways. We must now go forward without the inspiration, the wise guidance, the careful instruction, the delightful companionship that have made our college life so rich a blessing. For us it must he hereatter a cherished memory, only. We would, therefore, at this last moment seize the opportunity to seal this blessed memory with a few words of appreciation of what we have received from Northern before we as students bid it a tender, affectionate farewell. To you, our honored Founder, words are not adequate to express the sincere emotion of our hearts. To you we feel that we owe a debt of gratitude that can not be repaid. As sponsor of the Ohio Northern University may you feel that the class of 1912 has added perceptibly to your laurels. May you feel again that your struggles and self-sacrifices for the upbuilding of this institution have 202 borne worthy fruit; that this class has, indeed, added to the reward you have been reaping in other classes that have gone before us from the University, in its half century of existence, and which will be added to by those who are to follow. Yet we yield to none in our respect, admiration, and affection for you. You have been to us a constant inspiration and example. You have taught us to regard you as our truest, most sympathetic friend. We can only hope that in our future careers we may be a credit to you and to beloved Northern. Your presence here to-day is the crowning pleasure of the occasion. Before passing I am sure you, my classmates, will unite with he in con¬ ferring upon Dr. Lehr the same tribute which was so aptly spoken by that most eloquent writer. Dr. Lord, in characterizing Alfred the Great; Thus: “He had a beautifully balanced character and a many-sided nature. He had the power of inspiring confidence in defeat and danger. His judgment and good sense seemed to fit him for any emergency. He had the same control over himself that he had over others. His patriotism and singleness of purpose inspired devotion. He felt his burdens, but did not seek to throw them off. He felt his responsibilities as a Christian ruler. He was affable, courteous, ac¬ cessible. His body was frail and delicate, but his energies were never relaxed. He had no striking defects. He was a model of a man and a king; and he left the inipress of his genius on all subsequent institutions.” I ani sure the application is obvious, so no words have been changed to make them more exactly the measure, in title as well as meaning, of one to whom the name of Founder is given with the same reverence as that of king given to the Founder of English liberty. To you Dr. Smith, whom as a class we are proud to claim as our chief guide, as our President, the bearer of the enviable title of President of Ohio Northern University, we wish to give some expression of our appreciation of your tireless efforts in our behalf, as well as in behalf of the university whose reputation we prize so highly. We feel that we have indeed been fortunate to have passed through our college course under your direction and control. We realize how greatly we have profited by your guidance, and trust that in the after years, if any of us should achieve a success you may deem worthy, you will feel that your labors have not been in vain and that we are ever cognizant of your service to us. Re assured, too, that we invoke the richest blessings upon you in your zealous efforts to advance this worthy institution, and may your noble aspirations in its behalf be realized to their fullest measure. To the members of the Faculty, instructors in each department of the University, we are glad of this opportunity to thank you for all you have done 203 for us, for the patience, care, sympathy, and kindness you have shown in guiding our not always willing feet up the steep paths of knowledge. You have done your part to send us into the world well trained for our various places. If we succeed the credit will be to you, as much, if not more, than to our¬ selves. You have rightly won our lasting gratitude. Lastly, my clear classmates, I speak for myself, yet not for myself alone; your hearts will 1 know re-echo the sentiments I will try to express to show with what deep and sincere regret we part each from each, and each from all. To say “Vale” to the associations we have here enjoyed, to friends we have made, whose friendship we trust will be lasting, yet can never have again the peculiar flavor of college-classmate clays, is an experience which can not be other than sad. We have shared each other’s joys, we have felt each other’s sorrows, have rejoiced in each other’s triumphs, and sympathized with each other’s failures. W e have plodded together over rugged roads of learning, we have shouted together over our athletic victories, and mourned together over our defeats in class-room, on campus, and in the field. We have met and ever rejoiced in the association. But now we must part; must go our several ways to engage in the varied occupations we have chosen or may choose. Our university days are over. We must now mingle not with those whose interests are alike, if not identical with ours, but with the motley crowd which cares little or nothing for one small integer. We are thrust upon ourselves and our own responsibilities as never before. We must win our spurs, not before the eyes of kindly classmates but in the gaze of an unsympathetic world. We must part. But may our associa¬ tion here be a constant influence in each of our futures, and may we go into the arena girded with the strength of our college memories, and- spurred with the ambition to win the success of which our class-mates will, with us, be proud. And now to Northern, to Founder, President, Faculty, Classmates, a re¬ luctant, last, and sad Faren-ell ! Faren-ell ! 204 LIFE’S STREAM Our life is a mystic stream Willi its source in the land of the Gleam, Somewhere beyond our gaze, A wonderful realm with radiant haze. At first, a rivulet pure. It glides along tinder skies azure. From the mount of innocent Truth Into the gladsome valley of Youth. Here, always the sunshine bright Scatters the gloom of the passing night. S o clouds in the sky, S o storm on its breast moves the waters awry. Gathering strength in its onward course It enters the plain of Manhood ' s Force; S o longer the current smooth or the water clear For channels rough and skies of gloom are here. Thus ever onward the How At times mid the lightning ' s flash and thunder ' s roll; Then through sunny climes serene Where no shadows mar the pleasant stream. It tires of the Plain With its shadows, its sunshine, and rain; It longs for the Ocean of Rest, Seeking peaceful sleep on its breast. Reached is the haven at last; Forgotten the channel and course of the past: Joyously rests the stream On the Ocean, its home in the land of the Gleam. V. R. Dray. w JUS’ COMIN’ HOME To Dr. L. G. HERBERT. (In an address at Ada, Dr. Herbert, after paying many fine compliments to the town, expressed his intention of making this his home when he retired from active life. Mr Halverson has woven his sentiment into verse :) Jus’ coniin’ home to settle down, Sometime when I get old. jus ' to live in the dear old town, ’Mid friends, with their hearts of gold. Jus’ to meet the men uncrowned. Where the hearty welcomes sound, Where a smile I always found; “Jus’ coinin’ home.” jus’ coniin’ home from the battle’s front. To dwell in peace, sometime; Jus’ to withdraw from bearing the brunt. When others press into the line. That’s when my voice can no longer plead The teaching of Him, whose spirit men need, To save this nation drunk with greed; “Jus’ coinin’ home.” Tits’ cornin’ home in the sunset hours, To rest awhile, sometime ; To breath the perfume of fragrant flowers, Where hells of memory chime; Far from the scenes of sorrow and pain, Eack where God’s smile 1 can see again; Praying my last words may echo this strain; “Jus’ coinin’ home.” Frank A. Halverson. 207 THE LATEST PEACE CONFERENCE Evening Session. It was Thanksgiving week in the old town of Ada, And every one knew that not far away Was the season of dread to the innocent Pharmacs; The day that is known as “Engineers’ Day.” To the rest of the students the affair was a secret; What was planned for the night not a soul dared to tell. Each Engineer smiled as he passed by his comrade. And said to himself, “For our plans. All is well.” At last the day came; the streets were all silent; Dame Nature had curtained all scenes from the sight. All “good men” w T ere toiling, their culture enriching, While “others” lurked round under cover of night, Awaiting the signal to bid them assemble. But hark! hear the sound of the bugle and drum ! Hear the wild piercing cries break forth from the stillness. As down through the streets in procession they come! Through the dark, barren trees the north wind was shrieking; Sure none but a “rookey would dare show’ his head; For he who witnessed the scene of a ’’ducking” Was content to retreat to his w arm cozy bed. But behold now a sight, before never thought of; See Pharmacs and Engineers march side by side: Hear them shout loud and long in chorus united; Hear them sing the same song with genuine pride. How gayly they danced, these men of Old Northern, Dressed each as he was in bedroom attire. The wind sharp and shrill not a bit did they heed it. For deep in their hearts was friendship’s bright fire. Wow proudly they waved their once rival banners ! How loudly they cheered him so lately a foe. As on through the streets in united procession The brave Engineers and glad Pharmacs go. 208 How changed was the scene that past years had witnessed! No cringing from fear; no cries rent the air; So thoughts of a bath in the water so icy. For pleasure and joy dispelled every care. And now in the chapel the rollickers gather. And there many pledges of friendship they make; And having decided to meet on the morrow, Sow home to their couches their late way they take. Morning Session. At the hour of worship again they were gathered. And now on the campus their places they take, While between the two lines, down deep in earth’s bosom. For the bloody iVar Hatchet a deep grave they make. The service begins, how impressive, how solemn. How attentive they stand, with heads bowed and bare! While high in the tower, the college bell tolling Sends forth its sad tones on the cold morning air. And now down the street in solemn procession With step slow and steady the pall bearers come. Led on toward the grave, that is yawning and ready. By the weird shrilling notes of the bugle and drum. The weapon they bear, all blood stained and gory, Is symbol of many a long, cruel fight. When Pharmac and Engineer seeking for glory Fought fiercely from morn until late in the night. The service is over, the long strife is ended. Down deep in the earth the hatchet they cast. There it lies buried deep ‘neath the soil of Old Northern; The grief that it caused is a thing of the past. Many words were there spoken, as pure as the snowflakes That fell on the scene, but they’ll soon pass away; But the deed which was done will remain through the ages. And continue to strengthen from day unto day. George M. Harris. 209 SPRING TIME Above the rugged mountain peak Arose the sun of silver bright. And sent its brilliant beams to seek The lily sprinkled in the night. In wooded hollow, far below. They glittered in the sparkling rill. That murmured in its rapid flow, With sounds that broke the solemn still. Upon the weeping willow bough Above the noisy little stream. The oriole is building now Her nest among the leaves of green. Beneath the lovely sky serene, Tlie bleating sheep and grazing kine In yonder grassy fields are seen To seek the shades and there recline. From hives go forth the buzzing bees : And, mid the valley’s fragrant bloom. They visit all the flow’ry trees. And hum through all the sweet perfume. Through all the calm and sunny day, Tlie fresh and gentle breezes blew, While Nature clad so grand and gay Gave proof that spring had come anew. Lloyd Matson. 210 LYRICS By Marie Dille NIGHT Low sinks the sun behind the trees; Its gentle rays fall warm on all; While o’er the land wakes the evening breeze. And lo, I hear the night bird’s call. The rosy flush dies in the west. The last pink fades from vale and hill; The weary world has gone to rest. And only I am restless still. Now, like piercing points of light. The stars come slowly, one by one. And crown the ebony crown of night. Who like a monarch reigns alone. The velvet darkness floating o’er Has wrapped a world of care in sleep; And only I am left alone To mark how slow the hours creep. “THE CALL OF THE WEST” Ye rugged hills, ye mountains high. Ye snow-clad peaks that pierce the sky. Ye soft west breezes sighing by, I hear you calling and reply. Out where the winds blow wild and free, Where stately stands the tall pine tree, ’Tis there my soul has yearned to be. And you are calling, calling, me. 211 AMBITION Wake ! M ake ! ye Dreamer, Wake! Throw off the chains that bind voi r soul. Hark to Ambition’s mighty call! Behold! she beckons to the goal! Weep not o ' er ashes of a dream: Your mourning ever will be vain. Your tears will quench the spark of hope. And it will never glow again. Lift up your head, and face the light; Your life is yours, your soul is free; The past alone is marked by years; The future is Eternity. THE WEST As 1 sit alone in the twilight, And list ' to the evening breeze, There conies to me, in its murmur. The whispering of tall pine trees. I can smell their fragrant perfume On the soft and balmy air. And I know that they are waiting. They are waiting for me there. I can see once more on the hill-side The noisy little creek; Well. I know what ' tis saying, I can almost hear it speak. As it falls o ' er rounded boulders; And it echoes far and near Calling Ah, come, we ' re waiting. We are waiting for you here.” THE SONG OF THE AUTOMOBILE Wheeler McMillen From pole to pole, with speed mad soul, I ride in my automobile. From sea to sea, with scorching glee, I ride at my steering wheel. Across the plain, with proud disdain, I sweep, in my automobile, A myriad miles, with road burnt smiles. Till the suns in the star vault reel. I hold the strength at finger length. In my big black automobile. Of thirty pairs of prancing mares. All dashing to beat the de’il. On lightning wings, my motor sings The song of the automobile. No fear of fate can check my gait Nor the throbs of my automobile. Like a charged cohort, the engines snort In the heart of my automobile. I snatch the b ' reath from grimmest death. And laugh with my steed of steel. THE BURIAL OF THE MAINE (In March, 1912, the wreck of the Eattleship Maine was raised from its bed in Havana Harbor, towed out to sea, and buried with fitting ceremonies. The following little poem expresses the sentiment of the occasion) : SILENCE the lips and bow the head,— The Maine parts from her noble dead. Upon the sea once more she floats. But, resting on a bier of boats. Be not ashamed if dim your eye. And in your heart there is a sigh. The flags on sister ships will weep, When she is given to the deep. Soft chant the waves in sweet refrain, To the memory of the slain. Dear God, console the hearts that ache. For those who died for freedom’s sake. E. G. Rogers. 213 LIFE LESSONS I paused at the roadside, one bright summer day. Just at the turn where we oft stopped to play. For there at my feet, with its head in the dust. Lay a sweet little daisy, cruelly crushed. A fair, thoughtless maiden had just passed that way. Saw it wave at God’s sunbeams as if ‘twere at play; The simplest of flow ' rets, yet ’twas doing its best, In its own humble way. His praise to attest. She plucked it—’twould give her a moment’s delight— Then tossed it aside to die as it might; And there it lay bleeding—Humility’s flower— Loved thru the ages, shorn of its power. In my mother’s old garden there grew a moss rose, ’Mongst all her bright blossoms this one I chose; She had guarded and reared it with tenderest care; Many heartaches she’d soothed with the blossoms grown there. I did not desire it so much as a treasure. Cut to flaunt ’mongst the children at school for my pleasure. It pained her, I know—her child’s mind distorted; It grieved Him, I know, to see His plans thwarted. Each bud as it opened breathed love and good will: In my heart bums this message she lived to instill. No wonder that poets have loved this sweet flower, The symbol of God and His infinite power. But now gazing back o’er years that have flown, I know that He’ll give me whatever’s my own; So I’ll struggle no longer, nor covet, nor shove; His roses shall grow with their message of love. Why do we grasp for things just for an hour? Why do we wrest from our brother his power ? Though at heart we’re not greedy and thirsty for gold, Yet we tread the same pathway that Cain did of old. The heart longs and pleads for things earth cannot give; ’Tis the soul, groping, homesick, and yearning to live In the mansions He promised and went to prepare. With the loved ones we’ve known here—now gone over there. That’s why I know there’s a God upon high; That’s why I know we’ve a home in the sky; For when I’m heartsick and burdened with care. His “Lo, I am with you” answers my prayer. Pearl A. M. Stahl. 214 THE LEGEND OF THE MONONGAHELA Monogahela, a young chieftain. And his warriors, brave and strong, Camped beside a winding river Whose clear water sweeps along Through the narrow mountain valley. Where the air is fresh and free. Just beginning the long journey Downward, downward to the sea. They had come to find provisions For their squaws and warriors old ; Food and clothing to protect them From the winter’s biting cold. After many days of hunting On the hills and by the shore, They secured game abundant. To provide their winter’s store. On the morrow, at the rising Of the glittering god of day. They will leave this pleasant valley. And begin their homeward way To their fani’lies and their village By the Susquehanna’s side, Where the camp-fire brightly burning Casts its gleam upon the tide. Sad and pale, Monongahela Sat enwrapped in thoughts profound ; Happy were his sturdy warriors, As they danced the campfire ’round, Or discussed the many pleasures That their coming home would bring; How the vale of Susquehanna Would with shouts of triumph ring; How their squaws, in loudest voices. Would proclaim their great success That through all the dreary winter Would relieve them from distress; How when snows and storms were raging, In their wigwams they would stay Happy with their squaws and fam’lies ; All their thoughts were bright and gay. 215 But their joyful conversation Made Monongahela sad; He had none at home to love him, Like the other warriors had. Though he knew the Indian maidens 1 11 would bid him welcome home. Vet among their goodly number There was none he called his own. Then to be alone, he wandered From his wigwam far away : Far adown the winding river. Steadily he kept his way. Still his mind was fdled with sadness. For his wig-wain vacant stood. Where the winding Susquehanna Dow nward pours its shallow flood. Could he ever, thought the chieftain. Find a maiden, bright and fair: One to calm his wildest longings, And for whom he ' d always care? All alone he mused and wandered By the gently flowing stream; Still unconscious of his going. Walked as one in deepest dream. Suddenly the sound of voices Fell upon his quickened ear. And with greatest stealth and caution He approached that he might hear. What surprise was there to greet him ! How he gazed upon the sight! Twelve star-fairies, light and airy, Dancing in the moon ' s pale light. One star-fairy had more beauty Than the other fairies had. And her presence cheered his being— Cheered his heart so lone and sad; And a strong desire possessed him To embrace his fairy love; Rut at his approach they vanished In the starry realms above. Lonely now and disappointed. Yet exulting in his love, Strong Monongahela tarried For the coming of his love. Near the spot where he had seen her, Built he there his wigwam wide, Door toward the fairy play-ground, Looking out upon the tide. In this door-way, sad yet hopeful, All his warriors homeward gone. Night by night he sat and waited For his fairy love’s return. Thus a year was passed in waiting And one clear, cool autumn night, He had just begun his vigil. When the fairies came in sight. Faintly did he hear the rustle Of their fairy garments light; Loudly came his heart ' s pulsations, As he viewed this longed-for sight. Now he sees them at their gambols; Now he spies his loved one fair Playing with the other fairies, Lightly tripping through the air. Closer now he steals upon them; Now upon tip-toe he stands; Now she comes so very near him That he grasps her in his hands; And the other fairies, frightened At their sister’s sorry plight. Rose with many a sigh and murmur. And began their airy flight. Proudly did Monongahela Eear her to his wig-wam wide, And she learned to love her captor. Dwelling by the river’s side; And when brave Monongahela Roamed where sunset embers burn, “Fairy” watched, with eager longing. For her husband’s safe return. 217 Thus another year was ended; And one evening hand in hand. They were sitting by the wig-warn. When they spied the fairy band Lightly froni the skies descending To resume their sports once more Cpon the old-time fairy play-ground Close beside the river ' s shore. Then to Fairy came a longing To rejoin them in their play; So she lightly kissed her husband As she did each close of day; And with many vows she promised Soon to him again to come, When she ' s told her fairy sisters Of her earthly joy and home. But her sisters long entreated Her to go with them again. Back into that land of beauty. Back again to fairy land. Thus persuaded to revisit Worlds from us so far and dim. She came back to tell her husband That she ' d soon return to him. But her brave Monongahela In the woods had gone to roam; He had wandered far that evening And was late returning home; And his fairy, all unthinking. Had departed, hand in hand, With her joyful sister fairies T o their distant starry land. Once more in her home of beauty. She forgot her husband bold. For the fairies made her happy; So her heart of love grew cold. But Monongahela missed her; Far and wide he called her name Fruitless were his constant efforts, That he might her love reclaim. 218 So he still continued searching, . Wandering by the river’s side; Weak and weary, hungry, thirsty, With no one to aid, he died. When again the chill of Autumn Turned the leaves to brown and gold. To the same, broad, curling river. Came the fairies as of old. And the one that had more beauty Than the other fairies had Felt her heart grow weak and heavy. And her look was wan and sad. Then she bade her fairy sisters Each a tender, fond farewell; Walked directly to the wig-wam, Where upon the ground she fell. Crying loud, “Monongahela”— Naught but echoes made reply; Still in vain, “Monongahela” Was her one, and only cry. All night long for him she waited But he came not back again T o the wig-wam by the river, Where the two had happy been. When the sun rose o’er the mountains. Gilding- all their peaks with light, Forth she started on her journey. Now to wander day and night. Days and months and years she wandered Through the vale, and mountains high; Still she cried “Monongahela”— Naught but echoes made reply. Still when gathered ’round their firesides The old settlers tell this tale. How she sought Monongahela, ' Where the stream winds through the vale; And they also say the river From this hero gets its name; That its murmur, like the calling. Is forever just the same. 219 And today, in golden Autumn, If your heart is tuned a-right. You can hear the fairy calling Through the stillness of the night. As she wanders through the forest, Sending forth her mournful cries. And her wail, “Monongahela,” On the river falls and dies. George M. Harris. A LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL My dear and respected sir, I send you this your love to stir. ’Tis you I’ve chosen first of all On whom to make a leap-year call. I’ve given you this foremost chance— Your heart and hand not asked in jest—• And hope you’ll grant my fond request And send me back without delay Your answer saying “Yes” or “Nay.” But if your hand does not incline In wedlock clasp to join with mine. Then you must leap-year laws obey And down to me five dollars pay. Besides, kind sir, a handsome dress, I ask no more nor take no less. Now you may think this letter funny, Eut I must have either man or money. Please let me know at once your choice. If in your name I’ll not rejoice. I ' ll wear you dress, sir, just the same, Tho I should take another’s name. Now if the writer you should guess. Send this back to my address; And, if for me there is no hope. Send me back six yards of rope. I’ll close with lots of love and kisses From one who cares to be your Mrs. THE WAY Apologies and Condolences to Walt Mason. Once a boy from the mines, Where the sun never shines. Had a dream that to-day has come true. For he saw, thru the haze, Many studious days. To be spent at the O. N. U. With his bones on a whiz. All ready for biz, He landed in Ada one day. 221 As he strolled up the street. A young man did he meet, With countenance haggard and gray. “Oh, this school life is bum Said the miner ' s new chum, “Just plugging and plugging along. My folks never write. And it ' s surely a fright How everything keeps going wrong. In Latin, I know. I don’t stand a show. For the Prof, has it in for me. In my classes I feel like a man made of steel: So knowledge for me do I see. So I think I ' ll go home, Where my folks at-e alone. As for the old farm I yearn. If I stayed here my life, I might get a wife. But not a thing would I learn.“ With his soul sick and sad, The marooned miner lad Told the tale to the nest man he met. “Go beat it, ki yi, The weary, they die,” Exploded the cranky old vet. “In life play to win ; Stand up on your pin; If you fall, climb right up again. Don’t growl about luck ; Don’t think that you’re stuck, And you’ll rake in the friends and the sen. Keep a stiff upper lip; Don’t let your nerve slip. And don’t be a happy luck chap. Throw in your grit; Don’t howl if you’re hit. But hammer with vigor and snap. Be a lad with backbone. Who can keep up his own. As you trot to the end of your soan. Don’t growl at the rain; Think joy and not pain. And live so you know you’re a man. Frank A. Halverson OUT OF THE MILL Give up! Give up, men! Don’t block the way! The women are here! And they’ve come to stay. Don’t try to stop them! For it’s no use, And it only proves that you’re a goose. You’ve buried them deep in the household mill, Cut women!—You cannot keep them still! You swore they couldn’t and shouldn’t pry In public affairs but, you lie! you lie! For several thousand years, or so. They’ve obeyed you lords in this world below; Eut now their Rights sends its urgent call. And a daring resolve seizes them all; They will not alone on you depend Their precious Rights to always defend. They say they have found on many a day That they couldn’t rely on what men say; So they will vote and will go the round Of what you call your unhallowed ground. For a couple hundred years, or so. There has been no peace on this world below; The women are grumbling, “It isn’t fair; Come, give us a breath of your upper air. We’ve had enough of your lordly ways, And we would help rule in future days. Give us a taste of your power and might. We want a chance and an equal right; We’ve served you well in the mill, you know ; Now you’re bland fellows — come, let us go!” I’m not so sure of your being bland. But no alternatives before you stand. You fear the men will be put to rout. Yet there is no help, you must let us out! We’ve been in the mill, you know, so long That we are not so uncommonly strong; While you have gained by your ruling alone And ought to be able to hold your own. But if you can’t, better get into space. And let some woman have your place. 223 We ' ve heard you argue again and again That women do not equal men; That is all rubbish and will not go. And down in your hearts on know it’s not so. hat worries you and makes you so ill Is that you may have to grind in the mill. Don ' t worry, the women will do their work; Because they vote, they ' re not going to shirk. So lay down your cudgels and give them way For women are round to have their say.

OMAN should vote because she is woman; man, because he is man. The two are unlike. Woman has different aspirations, different needs, a different point of view, and a different way of reaching con¬ clusions ; consequently, nian is, by nature, incapable of representing her. No matter how willing man is nor how hard lie may try, lie can never fully put himself in woman’s place and see exactly from her point of view. So long as this difference remains, woman must go unrepresented in the state unless the means of representation are secured for her. Xo one will deny that the most ideal home relations depend upon a proper consideration and appreciation, by both men and women, of their differences in temperament and that the home life determines the character of the state. In fact, state and home are so closely related that the state has been defined as an en¬ largement of the home. As economic, social, industrial, and moral questions affect both home and state similarly, so laws, state and national, pertain, in some way, to the home. Just as mercy, obedience, justice, and love are essential to the home life, so are they to the welfare of the state. All admit that woman adds dig¬ nity, beauty, and sympathy to home life. Then why are we so prone to spurn such an influence upon the political world, which would necessarily result from wo¬ man ' s use of the ballot. Many and dire have been the consequences predicted as to the result of woman suffrage. From Sew Zealand round to California the objectors have painfully and monotonously prophesied the same calamitous results. With tear¬ ful eloquence they have portrayed heart-rending pictures of neglected babies, uncooked food, and deserted hearths. But alas! So contradictory are many of their arguments, that, to women who are thinking for themselves, they only provoke a smile. For instance, many have said that women do not want the ballot, that they are wholly indifferent to it, and yet maintain that they would no sooner have that privilege than they would become so enthusiastic over It that they would neglect all their domestic duties. Woman is regarded by some as living in an ethereal realm, from which she should never descend to have a voice among the “rabble, while others stand horrified at the thought of corrupt women demoralizing the state. If the prediction had materialized in the states and countries where women have been enfranchised, we might well oppose the movement. The time for mere theorizing is past; we want the facts. One hundred and forty-five mayors of cities in five of our equal suffrage states testified to the good results of municipal suffrage, many being very enthusiastic over the purifying effects resulting from woman ' s great moral courage. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe received letters from six hundred and twenty-four editors, ministers, and Sunday School sup¬ erintendents in the equal suffrage states, sixty-two of which were opposed to women voting, forty-six in doubt, and five-hundred and sixteen in favor. If they had stated that few women voted, that those few were corrupted and easily bribed, that polling places were unfit for refined persons to enter, that worse 2-28 men were elected, that women had no public spirit, that bad women voters out¬ numbered the good, that it led to family quarrels, that it only doubled the vote, that woman lost her womanly graces and her great love for her home, all would be different, and we could not too quickly arm ourselves against the enemy of the most powerful influence in the world—a woman’s virtue. But in Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Norway, the Western States, wherever wo¬ man is enfranchised: the report, as a whole, is otherwise; woman’s influence in the state, as in the home, has proven one of far reaching influence for good. But you ask, “What reforms do women propose to secure with the ballot? What advantage to the common welfare will result from woman suffrage?” Woman has a keener insight and greater interest in the moral and human¬ itarian side of politics than man. She is not much concerned with mere parti¬ san politics. Her interest centers around questions affecting education, public cleanliness, public morals, civic beauty, charities and corrections, public health, public libraries, and kindred subjects which more intimately affect home life and conduce to the uplift of the home. A few men have shown a vital interest in such questions; but the vast majority are concerned, if at all, only to a slight extent, and soon lose sight of them in the scramble and excitement of partisan warfare. It is claimed that, through her indirect influence, woman is now represent¬ ed. The ridiculousness of such a contention is obvious. The vote of a man with a wife, a widowed mother, four daughters, and a half dozen unmarried sisters counts one, while the vote of the bachelor next door, without a female relative in the world, counts for just as much. And the object of voting is said to get the wish cf the majority. George William Curtis said that a woman may vote as a stock holder in a railroad extending from one end of the country to the other; but, if she sells her stock and buys a house with the money, she has no voice in the laying out of a road before her door, no matter how much tax she pays. The indirect method is absurd. If a woman wanted to go to San Francisco, it would be little comfort to tell her she should go by way of Liverpool and Cape Horn. There is not a vicious interest nor political machine in the whole country but what is eulogizing woman’s great “Indirect influence.” We should heed the war maxim, “Always do that thing to which your adversary particularly objects.” Often we hear it argued that the great majority of women do not want the ballot and that it is an injustice to force such a responsibility upon them. But who does not know that every great reform in society has been secured by the continued efforts of a persistent few, and that these reformers are al¬ most invariably opposed by the very ones whom the reform is to benefit? Whether the majority of women do or do not want the ballot has absolutely nothing to do with the justice of this question. Should the few women—if they be few—who have a wider vision of usefulness be fettered and their in¬ fluence lost to humanity, because of the indifference of a majority? When Elizabeth Blackwell began to study medicine the women at her boarding house refused to speak to her. Mary Lyon’s first efforts for the education of women were ridiculed not only by men, but by the most of women as well. Many of 229 (outrage! f? s AM , MA6NmCW , X J of the laws relating to women, which everybody now approves, might never have been enacted had it been necessary to wait until the majority of women asked for them. Woman is no longer confined to the precincts of the home. The press of economic and social conditions have forced her to enter the various pursuits, often in direct competition with man. Certain industries are now almost wholly carried on by women. Because of this condition, it is imperative that she have a voice in the framing of legislation which so vitally concerns her physical and moral welfare. In the solution of t’’e rent labor problems who is better TWO WAYS OF SEEING THE QUESTION. able to know the needs of the toiling women and children than the working girl herself? It is the conviction that not only is the ballot her inherent right but that the use of such a right is an absolute necessity to safe-guard her wel¬ fare, that is causing such a vast number of the more than six-million working girls in the United States to champion the cause of woman suffrage. Too long have we beard of women living on the plane of gossip and petti- ness. A new era is dawning for her. Nothing can so broaden woman’s outiook upon life as an interest in public affairs. What man would not prefer discuss¬ ing state and national problems at home with a wife who both fully understood and realized the importance of such problems, than with a miscellaneous cro.vd of men in a club room or hotel? It is this added privilege in the home that strengthens family ties. The children look upon their mother, no longer as one living in a prescribed sphere, ignorant of the outside world and its problems, but as one to whom to look for instruction on these very questions. “It is a new companion that awaits man in woman today — surely a more glorious thing than a slave.” When he seeks to understand rather than oppose and govern her, he finds how much greater is her love and tenderness. In her new status she will wield a greater influence for good, widen her life and range of interest, strengthen her intellect, and make her life not only richer and fuller to her country but infinitely more charming in the home which she loves and in which she will ever reign supreme. WHY I OPPOSE WOMAN SUFFRAGE Anna Steva. F ROM remotest antiquity it has been evident that the sphere of man and woman is separate and distinct. Man. as the highest type of animal life, has the widest differences in duties. It is natural, it is scientific, that woman should be as womanly as possible and man as manly. This condition makes the most ideal family relation. The American home is the foundation of American strength and progress, and in the American home woman holds a position of so grave a responsibility that she cannot assume other responsibilities without neglecting her duties to her home and family. The demand which woman is making for all the rights and duties of man is absurdly unscientific. The duties of the two are clearly defined. To the strong physique of man belong the labors and duties of the outside world; to the finer and more spiritual nature of woman the labors and duties of home and society. Does it then seem advisable to add to the already long list of woman’s duties the responsibility of directly helping man govern the millions of inhabitants of the United States? Woman does not need the ballot to represent her and give her a voice in making the laws. The home is a unit. That its interests range through both the spheres of man and woman is admitted by all. To argue that man can repre¬ sent the home in all its relations is absurd; the same is true concerning woman. The home being a unit, and man and woman each an integral part of the home, both stand as representatives of the home in their respective spheres of activity. Then, since man is an integral part of the home is he not represented in the social achievements of woman, who stands as the representative of his home? No one, I think, will or can deny this. Man is the representative of the home in the political realm. In the same vein of reasoning, as above, woman being an integral part of the home is, likewise, represented in the political activity of man. 231 I ' M FRo ' S ' i mssoi m ■ laa w lnAMEV il pe J Hush my little one, hush my pretty one. Father will rock you to rest. Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one. Here on your father’s vest. Mother will come to you soon my dear. Only a few hours yet; She will come home when her speech is done For mother’s a suffragette. We would not discourage woman from entering any field of thought, least of all those which particularly concern her home and her country. Cut the question is this : is participation in political action necessary to interest in political subjects? We believe and past experiences show that woman by exerting a gentle, refining, and proper influence over the home is a far greater power for good than is woman in the political field. If woman should take upon herself that which has hitherto been considered man’s work, would man, in turn, be willing to assume the duties of woman? If so, we can clearly see the appropriateness of this little poem. Would this state of affairs in the home be according to the plans of nature ? Most certainly not. Milton fittingly described woman’s mission when he said. 222 “Nothing lovelier can be found in woman than to study household good and good works in her husband to promote.” The great cry of our present day suffragettes is, “We need the ballot to protect and give liberty to women.” The slavery of our American women exists only in the warped imagination and heated rhetoric of a few agitators. American women, to-clay, enjoy freedom of person, property, and profession, absolute and entire. When women are no longer safe under the protection of father or husband, it is the fault of our civilization and not of our laws. The chief characteristic of a truly civilized society is that every member, rich or poor, by virtue of his being a part of the social structure, shares the privileges which pertain to the com¬ munity as a whole. These privileges are the gifts of inheritance, of nature, and of God. Let us see whether or not our present clay laws are favorable to women. • First: Consider the wife’s dower right. Second: The statutes contain a large number of special provisions for the benefit of female employees in factories and mercantile houses. Third : The husband is liable for necessaries acquired by his wife. Fourth: A woman engaged in business cannot be arrested in an action for a debt fraudulently contracted. Fifth: A husband’s creditors have no claim upon the proceeds of a policy of insurance upon his life for the benefit of his wife. These and a number of other laws have been enacted, wholly, in woman’s favor. Compare the laws of the states in which women do not vote with the laws of equal suffrage states and you will find that in almost every respect they are equal to and, in many respects, superior to the laws of the states in which women vote. T n considering child labor laws, we know that Oklahoma is conceded to have the best child labor laws in our country; yet when Oklahoma was framing these laws did she look to any of the equal suffrage states as an example? No she did not, but on the contrary patterned after some of our eastern states. The suffragettes claim that woman suffrage will mean an increase in woman’s salary. But can salary be affected by the ballot? This is strictly an economic problem, which is governed entirely by the law of supply and demand. Men to-day are not withholding the ballot from women. The reason why women to-day are not voting is due to the fact that the great army of women who remonstrate against extension of suffrage are not only as intelligent and sincere as those who ask for the ballot but can point to an overwhelming majority of women who uphold their views. To comply with what is supposed to be the desire of nearly all women is one thing; to vote to force the ballot upon more than 90 % of the women of this country is quite another. Suffrage for women has been agitated since 1848. In these 64 years slavery has been abolished, the silver question settled, but still the suffrage question remains unsettled. If woman suffrage is of such great importance why are not the suffrage advocates able to convince the public that women are oppressed. 233 that men are unfair and tyrannical ? W omen have never enjoyed such complete educational and religious freedom as the women of America are enjoying to-day. Many of our present day suffrage agitators are withdrawing their active co-operation from civic and philanthropic societies, thus attempting to boycott this class of work until such time as they shall be allowed to vote. Does this seem virtuous in woman ? Woman’s virtues would not be prominent or influential in the political arena. Her finer qualities would naturally shun this sphere and her opposite qualities would be drawn into it. Men resort to unjust means in gaining political ends; n-e would naturally find this same condition existing among women. With woman thus dabbling in politics it seems inevitable that in the eyes of man she must lose those beautiful characteristics of womanhood, which make her worthy of the highest honor and esteem. Man would no longer feel responsible for woman ' s welfare, and it is only as woman ' s natural protector that some of the noblest traits in a man ' s character are developed. Man ' s idea of woman ' s refining influence is well expressed in Schiller ' s Honor to Women. To them it is given, to garden the earth with the roses of Heaven. 234 “THE ABANDONED MILL” J. L. Manahan. A BOUT three miles south of Huntsville stands an old “Abandoned Flour¬ ing Mill.” It is situated at the foot of a large hill. Around it are many large trees. As we approach from the east our attention is at once attracted by the quaint¬ ness of its appearance. Its form is almost square. At the southeast corner i the old water-wheel, which is still standing erect, as if ready for work at any moment. The water in the mill-race, once active and clear but now silent and muddy, is covered by a heavy coat of moss. A dense growth of weeds overlap the stream in such a way that it is almost hidden from view. The noise of the crickets and the voice of the frogs give evidence that life still exists about the old mill. A few steps from this wheel is the east entrance, the door of which hangs loosely upon its one good hinge. Lying on the floor just to the right of the entrance is a large plank, upon which are dim wheel-marks of the miller’s truck. No doubt this is the old gang plank which has not been used for many years. As we move forward a short distance our attention at once passes to the old machinery. The monstrous belt-wheel is very rusty, thus bearing witness to the fact that it has long remained silent. Above the engine are seen the various belts which were once active but now densely covered with dust. The spider ' s beautiful network hangs loosely from the roof and everywhere crickets are seen playfully flitting about. The roughly hewn timbers, constituting the framewodk of the mill are rapidly falling into decay, thus declaring that in a few years more the mill will no longer be a standing representative of pioneer architecture, but only a mass of ruins showing where the mill once stood. As we pass on the west side we see a large wheat bin, in which two mice are seen silently stealing away. At the rear of this bin there is a heap of material. Undoubtedly it was once good wheat, which long since has been changed into a mass of decay imprinted by the tracks of the fleeting mice. The mill, having served its purpose, having honored its clay, will soon have passed into the unavoidable realm of decay. 230 FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH Marie Dii.le. F RIDAY, and the thirteenth; surely if ever there was a time when ghosts should leave their graves and goblins, witches, and imps of every description, should find the earth a pleasant play ground, this was the night of all nights. The low hanging, scant half-moon dodged behind an occa¬ sional cloud bank, while the stars winked wickedly down upon the naked trees, thru which the November wind howled and shrieked horribly. It was such a night as would have tempted the most comfortably laid ghost from his resting place. The place? A farm house almost invisible in summer amid the rank vegeta¬ tion. But now since the leaves had fallen, it stood there bare and hideous with its windows staring vacantly at the lonesome moon. A long strip of ivy torn from its lower fastenings, but still attached to the lofty eaves, swung to and fro across the wide, blank wall, all the while swishing dismally and shedding its dead leaves at every motion. A generation ago this had been the home of a prosperous farmer, a pretty wife, and a family of happy children. But a tragedy had befallen that household. First the pretty wife was missing, and never found; then one by one the little children ceased to play beneath the shade trees. Soon after, the farmer, too. was gone. Mystery and horror surrounded the place and the years that followed only intensified that horror. There had been a tenant or two since then, who being ignorant of previous happenings had remained a few days then hurriedly with¬ drew. Already twenty years have passed away since any ore had dared to spend a night in the terror saturated atmosphere of the old farm house, yet to-night in its unkept grate a bright fire is glowing and into its flickering light thirteen faces are peering from the gloom of the great, dim room. To-night of all nights they are come to arouse the long undisturbed spirit into action. An old clock on the stairway had been forced to run. after its long idleness, and as the cobwebs cleared away, its thin hands began -lowly to creep over its ugly face. A rusty bell from within harshly rasped out each passing hour. There had been a feeble attempt at conversation among the watchers, but to no avail for the sound of one’s own voice seemed horrible in the deathly stillness : only the clock ticked on -lowly— dismally —monotonously. Sine it wheezed, then ‘ten”—then “eleven.” The stillness grew deeper ; each watcher stirred uneasily if he caught the glance of another upon him. All eyes were turned to the clock as the hands neared midnight ;then there was again a spasmodic attempt at conversa¬ tion, followed by nervous, hollow laughter ; again silence and the hands crept slowly on, till at last it began to groan out the hour of twelve. Before the last sound had died away there came a shriek, loud, shrill, and terrible, followed by a crash as of a heavy body falling in the chamber above; then a long, hair-raising cry that seemed to freeze the blood of the listeners. So terrible it seemed they could only stare speechlessly at each other with fear- dilated eyes. Then it came again, the awful cry as of the last hopeless wail of a lost soul. Then the watchers started. Ten of them fled out into the night away from this abode of terror. The other three lighting candles in the glowing giate mounted the stairs, past the old clock, and on to the chambers above. Just as they reached the landing the wail came again as if to guide them on to discovery or to destruction. The sound came from a room at the extreme end of the long dark hall. Thither with hesitating steps, the searchers groped their w ay among the grotesque dancing shadows. Pausing before the door from whence ihe sound had come, they listened. Hearing nothing they cautiously opened the door. ‘The first one entered : his candle flickered and went out. Another made the attempt and the second candle was as promptly extinguished. Then the third made the trial with a like result. The darkness lent new horrors to the situation. A thousand minute sounds could now be heard that had been inaudible in the light. The stairs creaked as if betraying a stealthy tread while a slight motion of the door brought from the rusty hinges a groan that caused the listeners to dutch each other in terror. Summoning what little courage they still possessed they fearfully entered the darkness of the room. No sound came as they paused on the threshold. 238 The pale moon beams, as they fell thru the paneless window, cast a gauzy shroud over a dark figure of hideous proportions that seemed to stand there waving its huge arms menacingly at the intruders. For a moment they hesitated, then cautiously approached. A closer view revealed the fact that it was only the great ivy, in whose claw-like tendrils, the shutter had been caught and torn from the window. Was it only the rusty hinges that had caused the shriek? Was it only the shutter swinging with the ivy and crashing against the wall that had caused the sound of the falling body? And was the moan in reality only the effect of the wind in the keyhole? Perhaps—yet sometimes when the pale nioon beams wander over the ancient structure and the wind sighs mournfully around those mysterious crannies. I wonder if the wind’s low ' moan is not answered by a sad¬ der moan from within, not caused by mortal man tho, sometimes, heard by ' mortal ears. THE COLLEGE LOAFER By Helen Thomas. T HE college loafer cannot be recognized by his face, for that part of his anatomy is usually invisible. It is obscured by a felt hat, very saggy around the brim, together with a cloud of tobacco smoke issuing in a steady column from a pipe tilted at a forty-five degree angle. The hat and pipe are aided by a bottle-neck sweater, striped with very loud colors which make him appear to have just escaped from the penitentiary. The wall of some building frequently constitutes a support for this amiable chap, against which he idly reclines with hands distending the pockets of his trousers to a surprising extent. Four inch cuffs ornament the lower extrem¬ ities of the aforesaid trousers, which display remarkably well a pair of lavender hose above tan oxfords of a very light hue. When this delectable fellow condescends to move from his support, he folds himself, as nearly as possible, into his pockets and starts clown street with a very shambling gait. It makes no difference if he does walk slowly, for he has at least eight years in which to complete his college course. He enters the class room just three minutes after roll call and takes up his position on the last seat near the window. Here he sits with knees on the back of the seat before him, book open in his hand, and a far off look on his face as he gazes out of the window. At the close of the recitation he saunters out to stroll down street once more. 240 EXPERIENCE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WINTER TERM J. L. Manahan. O X Nov. i_|, 1 911. began the Winter Term at the Ohio Northern Uni¬ versity. Even though this first day of the term was stormy, as is usually the case, every one about the university appeared to be ex¬ tremely busy. The students were seen parading from one building to another as if they were searching for a “Fountain of Youth”, to which Prof. Freeman had alluded in his morning announcement. The chapel service was unusually lengthy due to the great number of an¬ nouncements which are always necessary at the beginning of a term. The chief of these announcements was the one by Prof. Freeman concerning the “Y. M. C. A. Membership Contest.” As a result of this announcement many young nien have embarked upon the airships and are now journeying toward that glorious “Fountain of Youth.” This Fountain is so eagerly sought because it not only returns youth to the gentlemen, the roof of whose highest apart¬ ment has become the fly’s paradise, and to the spinster of forty summers, (more or less), but because it will so inspire the students that they can go to class without studying their lessons, look wise, and recite like a young “Solomon.” The most characteristic features of this day were the heavy frowns and disgusted looks upon the countenances of those students who were overheard while speaking about the many conflicts in their term’s work. Some were even lamenting the fact that it would be impossible for them to arrange for more than four classes under Prof. Freeman. “Well,” said one young “Solomon,” “perhaps we can take those four branches, make a recorded grade of “A” in each, get acquainted with all the new girls, and have a general good time.” It is very evident that this gentleman needed to get acquainted, for he cer¬ tainly was a stranger. 241 PAT’S PROMOTION Frank A. Halverson. VO you want a job?” 1 “What doing?” ■ — “On the police force.” Pat Clancy was passing through the door from the Police station when the question was asked him. He was broke after a jamboree in New York while sight seeing in the great Metropolis, having spent the Winter in the woods of Northern Michigan. His pile was gone, the last had purchased his liberty from the Police magistrate, for disorderly conduct. “Sure.” said Pat looking shrewdly at the plain clothes man. He noticed that he was well dressed and had the air of authority about him. He was of a muscular build and his eyes seemed to twinkle as he regarded Pat, while a smile hung around the corner of his mouth. “Are you afraid of a dark street?” “Afraid of nothing on feet,” said Pat. An hour later Pat Clancy left the Police station, with his name entered in the books as “Patrick Clancy. Policeman.” At the corner of the building a uniformed officer met him. He stopped Pat, by saying “So you’re under the Fighting Chief. Take a word of advice and be on the look-out to-night. A new man always finds trouble the first night. I am just telling you, if you don’t put up the goods you’re fired in the morning.” “Be Heavens,” said Pat to himself as he gazed at the vanishing figure of his adviser, “Pll kill the first man that interferes with me to-night.“ Then he remembered the Chiefs instructions “Be always on the look-out for trouble and do your best.” Pat remembered the peculiar way he said it. 24 - The shades of night were falling over the city as Pat went on duty. A dark street it was, as the Chief had said. But Pat felt equal to the task assigned him. He was to-keep order; and he would at all costs. He was an officer of the law and that was different from being a lumber Jack in Michigan. “What is that fellow trying to do,” Pat ejaculated to himself as he saw a man trying to climb the fence that surrounded a large mansion. I’m wise to your game thought Pat as lie tip-toed up to the place where he had seen the man. He was not there. Pat peered over the fence. Then he gave a start, for actually the fellow was trying to lift a window. Lightly Pat vaulted over the fence, with his baton ready for instant use. The burglar ran. Pat followed. Down the path that led to the stables hastened the man, with Pat gaining at each step. Just as Pat was reaching out his hand to grasp the burglar, he turned and struck Pat a wicked blow on the face. Pat staggered. Quickly his senses returned and with double quick action Pat followed. The man dodged behind the stable. As Pat dodged after him he was met by another blow. It did not stop him. The man was going to strike again but Pat grasped him in the uarkness. They clinched. The burglar was breathing hard, as Pat’s fingers clutched his arm. “You will, will you? strike an Officer. You’ll go before the Magistrate for this, so ye will.” Pat could have sworn that the burglar laughed as he jerked himself loose. Before he could escape the policeman had him again and in a moment Pat felt his feet slipping from the ground. Down they went, Pat under the burglar, yet his arms were locked around the burglar ' s body. He could not move. Tighter Pat pressed his antagonist, until the breath was leaving his body. The burglar was not finished. Without warning he threw his head up and the next moment Pat received a stinging blow on his face. His hands relaxed and the man sprang up. Pat, dazed, clutched him again. Another wicked blow missed his face. Pat’s Irish was up. With a bellow like a enraged bull he rushed the burglar. He forgot that he was an officer of the law. The law of self-preservation be¬ came the issue of his actions. His ponderous fist found the burglar’s breast and he fell in aheap. Pat was furious. “Yer Son of Darkness,” Pat shouted as he stood over the fallen man, “Do yer think that you can fool a man from Michigan?” “Let me go! ” the robber raised his head. “Yes, to the police station.” “They know me there,” said the man raising up, “you’re new on the job and I ' ll give you this to let me off,” holding up a purse. “None of your fooling” said Pat, sternly. How it happened Pat never knew. The burglar sprang at him again. Pat was ready. In a moment it was all over, and Pat had his man handcuffed. On the following morning there was consternation at the Police station. The Chief was not there. His wife was called on the telephone and she said that he had been out all night. “Are there any prisoners?” the Magistrate asked. “Clancy, the new man, brought one in” said the sergeant. •243 Bring him in!’’ The Sergeant did, and it was the Police Chief. His clothes were torn and his face was swollen. ITe looked as if he had been in a rough-and-tumble tight. With a nod he greeted t he Magistrate. “What man dared to run you in ?’ thundered the magistrate. Patrick Clancy, sir,” replied the Chief, the best nian on the force. He t imrned me and I’ll give him the credit.” An half hour later Pat was in tlie Chiefs private office. His six foot of man-hood was drawn up proudly as he saluted his chief The Chief motioned him to a chair, but Pat remained standing. “Pat, did you know me last night?” He was looking Pat squarely in the eye. “Yes, Sir. And why did you run me in?’ Sot a muscle twitched in the Chief s face. “Because, you was breaking the law, sir!” The Chief sat down and buried his face in his hand to hide the laugh pro¬ voked by Pat’s serious countenance. “Hand out my walking papers.” said Pat, “that will square us up.” “Pat Clancy, you don ' t know me,” said the Chief laughing. “Every man that I put on tlie force is tested. If he makes good he holds his job. It not, he is fired. Had you run last night, you would have been fired. You made good. Jailed the Chief; Pat, you’re the only man on the force that has that to his credit.” Do you mean to say that I go back to my job?” Pat ' s surprise was genuine. “Sure,” replied the Chief laying his band on the policeman’s shoulder,” and more Pat. you’ll be promoted when there is a vacancy.” CHIEF BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE. 244 LORD ENRIGK’S CLOCK C. A. Waltz. S EVERAL years had passed since I had last seen or heard from my old friend, Garing Irvwood. In his college days he had been noted for his superiority in Chemistry, and he had done much original work in radio¬ active substances. As my readers know, his name today is known all over Europe and America as the greatest scientific detective the world has ever known. Imagine my surprise when I received an invitation to spend a few weeks with him in his London home. During my stay with him he was engaged in unravelling several small af¬ fairs, mainly robberies, which, in themselves, were uninteresting and did not call forth any exceptional powers of my friend. But a few days before my return to America he was called to unravel a mystery which gave indication that it would require the greatest skill my friend had ever yet displayed. One morning, as we sat at the breakfast table reviewing old times and college escapades, we were interrupted by a violent ringing of the door bell. On answering the summons we found our visitor to be Inspector Yarnell of Scotland Yard. He appeared to be i n a very excited frame of mind and be¬ gan his story without any preliminaries. It appeared that Sir Henry Upton, one of the most distinguished lawyers of England, had suddenly died while seated in a chair in the laboratory of Lord Enrick, the scientist, who has made such remarkable discoveries in the radioactive elements of uranium and thorium. Sir Henry, according to the story of Lord Enrick, had called to see him on a purely legal matter and while they were con¬ versing had suddenly thrown up his hands and expired without a word. Lord Enrick had at once summoned a physician and notified the authorities at Scotland Yard. The physician’s opinion was that Sir Henry had died from a sudden paralysis of the nerves, affecting most severely the nerves of tlie heart. These were the only particulars obtainable, but the affair looked suspicious for it was known that Lord Enrick and Sir Henry were engaged in a lawsuit over some of tlie former’s discoveries. The police authorities had forbidden the removal of the body or the alteration of the laboratory in any manner until the appearance of Irvwood. As the Inspector finished his story, Irvwood immediately signified his in¬ tension of visiting the laboratory and ascertaining any further particulars which he might obtain there. At his request I accompanied them. The laboratory of Lord Enrick is situated at the rear of his home in Ken¬ wood Square. Arriving there we found two inspectors on guard who, on seeing us, at once unlocked the door and ushered us into the laboratory. Here I found things much the same as one would expect to find them in any laboratory. There were the usual tables, retorts, fume-closets, test tubes, etc. But what struck my attention as most unusual was a tall and peculiar looking clock which stood 245 directly opposite and about ten feet from the chair which contained the body of Sir Henry. This clock was probably ten feet high and, in many respects, re¬ sembled a grandfather ' s clock with the exception that its mechanism was more complex. Irvtvood went to work immediately and some of his methods were not only- interesting but also amusing. He carefully examined the body of Sir Henry, especially the face which was almost black appearing as though it had been burned. He ran the tips of his fingers over the face and then pinched it severely in several places. He next examined it carefully with a powerful lens and then with a small X rays instrument which he had brought with him. After this examination lie informed us that the man had indeed died from paralysis and diat the condition of the nerves and blood vessels showed that this had been produced by a powerful shock of electricity. Having drawn this conclusion, he said that for the present it would be well to keep a secret sui-veillance of Lord Enrick. He next proceeded to ascertain the cause of the shock which had killed Sir Henry. He had the body removed from tlie chair and then more thoroughly examined it. His conclusions here were that the entire force of the shock had been centered in the man ' s face. He then went to work in earnest in the ex¬ amination of the entire laboratory. The chair on which the body was found was closely examined; the floor was gone over, Irvwood crawling on liis hands and knees over its entire surface. He then had the floor torn up in the vicinity in which the chair was located. He examined the walls, every instrument on the walls being taken down and carefully scrutinized. But when he arrived at the clock, he stopped, backed up, and finally seated himself in the chair meantime keeping his eyes riveted on the clock’s dial. After remaining in this position for at least twenty minutes wrapped in intense thought, lie suddenly jumped up and went to the clock and began to take it apart. When lie had taken off the dial and removed some of the wheels he called our attention to what lie had found. In the interior of the clock was a small, thick metallic box which had an opening connected with another small opening in the dial of the clock. “Here, said he, is the cause of Sir Henry Upton ' s death.” Perceiving that we did not understand he began an explanation, which, to me, was at first mean¬ ingless. However before he began his explanation, lie desired to know at exactly what hour Sir Henry had died. From the account of Lord Enrick, as told to the inspector, we learned that Sir Henry had called upon him at about fifteen minutes after eight. They had been talking for fifteen minutes, for Sir Henry liad died at exactly eight thirty. Irvwood next announced that he would like to see Lord Enrick. When lie had made his appearance and greeted tis, Irvwood preceeded with his explanation. “This box contains radium, the most powerful radioactive substance known. There is enough here to kill a hundred men under the proper conditions. That these proper conditions were brought about and caused the death of Sir Henry Upton I will now demonstrate. As you undoubtedly know the most important 2 4fi physiological actions of radium radiations, so far studied, are their power to pro¬ duce luminosity in the human eye, to cause the same kind of peculiar burn of the skin as do X rays, and in certain cases to paralyze the nerve centres. On observing the mechanism you will find here in the bottom of the frame a power¬ ful electrical generator which is connected with the city electric lines. Observing further in the upper part here you will see that this metallic box is connected with the works of the clock in such a way that at a certain hour it is touched off much as an alarm clock—but only for a few seconds. This then is my theory of the case ; the electrical generator, the nietallic box containing the radium, are connected so that they both work in conjunction. By adjusting this little lever here, they can be set to go into operation at any second. The electrical generator would act to set up a field of electrical influence which would tend to increase the action of the radium particles in that it would cause them to move in any direction desired. This had all been arranged so that any one sitting in that chair would receive the full force of the radiations. As you undoubtedly noticed, this clock on striking makes a peculiar noise, sufficient to attract the attention of any one unacquainted with it. Therefore, Lord Enrick knowing that by the activity of Sir Henry Upton he would lose an important case which would niean the loss of a fortune to him, desired to get rid of him and took this remarkable plan of carrying out his designs. So he invited him to call upon him at his laboratory under some pretense of business. He came at the time specified, was courteously received, and seated in the chair which was especially tendered him. The conversation began, was carried on for some minutes until the clock struck. The peculiarity of the striking instantly attracted the attention of Sir Henry. But that instant meant death to him for you well know what happened.” Up to this time we had all been so deeply interested in Irvwood’s thrilling recital that we had failed to pay any attention to Lord Enrick. But at this instant our attention was attracted by a sudden movement on the part of Irvwood. We all turned just in tinie to see him seize Lord Enrick but he was too late for a sharp report sounded and Lord Enrick dropped to tlie floor, having committed his sec¬ ond murder. TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN Frank A. Halverson. T HE time to do things is now, as a moment lost is forever gone beyond the pale of the recallable. There are no stop offs for luncli on the train of time. It runs on schedule, on earth ' s invisible track, and there are no wrecks or floods to delay tlie service. There are all kinds of service on this train providing you are ready to go when tlie train stops at your station. There may be a sleeping berth or a parlor car for you. or again tlie best may be in the coaches with your feet propped on another seat. Cut there is always some place for you when Time ' s train slows down at your station if you are ready to go. Out on the Tide of tlie ocean may be seen a majestic ship sailing proudly on tlie billows. It seems to laugh at the fury of the mountain-high waves on which it rides. It is running on scheduled time. It left in the face of a violent storm. Back in the harbor a little fishing smack awaits the abatement of the storm, when it will sail out to the fisheries and anchor. It had to wait for the tide. Man is tlie creator of his own time and tide. If he is prepared to go when the call of Time and Tide comes all is well. Cut again the call is heard to the fisherman when tl-e Tide conies in. Time is always beckoning with opportunity from tlie signal mast. There are many wrecks on Life ' s main that answered the call before they were prepared to weather the storms of reality. Many proud ships lying at the bottom had an inexperienced captain. Time and Tide call every day. Opportunity is not elusive. It whispers from the Future eternally. If it did not man would be contented to stay down when once he had slipped his berth on the ship of tlie tide or the train of time. 218 RULES AND REGULATIONS OF “THE ESTILL HOUSE” 1.

The following gleaned from class work and examination papers illustrates the fact that the O. X. U. cannot be surpassed in wisdom: Prof. Freeman —Who wrote ‘‘Twelfth Sight?” Miss Mason —Julius Caesar. (Freeman never seemed to notice.) Fkeema —Miss Spriggs, who wrote ' .My country ‘tis of thee?” Miss Spriggs —Marlowe wrote the words; DeOuincey set it to music. lx a recent examination paper the following expression was found : “Just as these words left his mouth. Lady Macbeth entered.” In answer to the question, “Who was Aesop?” this information was im¬ parted : “He was a man who wrote a book of fables and sold the copyright to his brother for a bottle of potash.” Among compositions the following were found : The roof of the barn was bent like the back of an old man. “The man started at the death-like countenance on his face.” Mr. KF.LT3.vuGn is very fond of small fruits. He was seen, the other day, eating the currents off of the electric wires. Brown —“Sermons by the Devil” is not a good book for young preachers to study. King —Shadows on the curtain are interesting to outsiders. Baker —You are early of late ; you were always behind before ; but now you are first at last. Miss Dille — Do not let your fondness for rare specimens lead you too far. Captain Martin has just spent a very busy year taken up by business and friendly calls—mostly friendly. In the mind of the engineer there are two classes of students : the educated, and the mollycoddles that play drop-the-handkerchief on Saturday afternoons. 251 ) CORRESPONDENCE Barnesville, O., Oct. 31 , ’n.

The season opened with blit four of the previous season’s players : Capt. Bowman, Ford, Roberts, and Thompson, around whom to build the team. Some good material reported for practice and a promising team began the season, playing a fairly good grade of ball. All went well at home. Wittenberg, Antioch, Heidelberg, Otterbein, Alumni Stars, and even our old rival Weslevan went down in defeat on the local field. But with tlie starting of the team on its post-season trip the Fates seem¬ ed to he against us and the season ended in a succession of defeats. Failure to hit tlie ball at the proper time was the principal cause of tlie numerous defeats. Lack of “inside ball” and consistent team work figured in many defeats. Then, too, the injury of Thompson necessitated a change in the line-up, which sent Bowman behind the bat. This shake tip in the infield proved disastrous many times during critical plays in the games that followed. Thompson was the one individual who did not fail to hit the ball, while Bowman and Ford rank next with averages about equal. Ford also led the team in bunting. Moran was a whirlwind at sprinting. He covered more ground than any other out-fielder, and stole the greatest number of bases. Dan Thomas’ first year of ball was a success in every respect. He played a fast game at first and rendered great service on the coaching lines. His snap and ginger put spirit into the men even when the score was against them. Capt. Bowman and Ford were the features of the infield, playing their positions of short and third in an all-star manner. Coth had good arms and could hurl the ball across the diamond with terrific speed. Spruhn held down second base during tlie entire season. Clack served as utility man both at home and on the trip. Both Small and Walsh played an extremely high ' class game in the out¬ field. Very few errors are charged against them, and their batting was fair. Northern’s pitching staff composed of Farrell, Roberts, Jennings, and Bazel. opened the season with twirling- of the highest order, but owing partly to the indifference of some of their members, and partly to the poor support given them, they weakened and were pounded freely during the latter part of the trip. Although the records of Roberts and Farrell show three victories for each, the former can be credited with the most effective work of tlie season. Farrell achieved fame by his pitching the tie game against Wesleyan and again later in the season by defeating them on their home grounds. Jennings was not work¬ ed as often as Roberts and Farrell, but nevertheless made a creditable showing. He won his game against Heidelberg, and held the Cuban All Stars down to six scattered hits; for this lie was highly commended by their manager. Bazel won the Alumni game of Commencement Week. At the close of the season Perry Ford was unanimously chosen Captain for 1912 . 254 BASE BALL TEAM ’ll RESULTS OF THE SEASON Winner Sr. Johns. Sorthern . Kentucky State Sorthern . Tie . Sorthern .

The Athletic Association was heavily i:i debt. No funds were available for securing the services of a coach, and no one seemed very enthusiastic about raising even sufficient money to furnish the team for the season. Realizing that something had to be done, the Athletic Board and the enthusiastic Capt. Peters got busy. An appeal made by Prof. Smull in chapel was responded to with a sub¬ scription of $ 168.00 which was financial assurance of a team. Prof. Long was eltcted Faculty Manager and John Cloyd, Student Manager, while Capt. Peters assumed the arduous duties of coach. Without a doubt the season was the most successful in the history of the school. Of the nine games played, five were victories; and since the University of Pittsburg and Notre Dame were entirely aut of our class, at Buchtel and Mt. Union were the onlv real defeats. During the season, Northern scored a grand total of 190 points, while her opponents registered 111. Crossing Notre Dame’s line in the first game of the year and making 103 points against Muskingum are two features of the season of which we are proud. To Capt. Peters is clue great credit for the year’s success. Without his coaching it is doubtful if a team could have been maintained. Besides playing the star game of the backfield, he directed the team with rare generalship during , the entire season. The times tl-at Pete fa ;, ed to make a substantial gain, when called on to carry the ball, were few indeed. Gardner was the individual star of the team. His playing every minute of the game was not without good results, for seldom has there teen a weare. A the orange and black that has played as consistent and fast a game as Gardner. Young, at center, and Neiswander, at guard, were the products of last year’s second team. Although Young was extremely light for his position, he played high grade ball. His passing was strong and accurate at all times and he kept cool at critical stages of the game. Neiswander. like the other guards at ce nter, was hidden most of the time when the fight was fiercest; so few spectacular plays are credited to him. How¬ ever, since the strength of Sorthern’s team was largely in the steadiness of the line, too much cannot be said in commendation of the work of the line men. Martin’s first season of football certainly deserves mention. Starring was not a part of his routine, but he played with a vigor that brought results. “Duce” Wilson had very little to say hut every one knew when he was in the game. The gains made through his side were few. When playing on the offensive he nearly always tore a gap in the opponent’s line. Stump deserves recognition as one of the best ground gainers on the team. He frequently created a sensation by breaking through the field for long gains. He has the distinction of crossing Notre Dame’s line in the first game of the season. 257 football team Kahlbaum, the stalwart Hawaiian, has for three years held the position of right tackle. He played a hard and consistent game at all times and captained the team in the Antioch game when Peters, because of illness, was unable to he present. Aggressiveness and tenacity backed by great strength made Haight one of the best linemen. In tackling Haight seemed to excel, being able to stop many line plunges unaided, and nearly always the man tackled fell for a loss. Grisbaum, the fleetest man on the team, played a swift and spectacular game at end. Besides his playing, he was of great service with his “lots of pep boys.” The work of Myer at quarter was of high order. He was a good general and used his head in directing the team. His work on running “punts” was fair and, when on defence, he saved many a score by his open field tackling. Compton excelled in checking interferences at his end of the line. He was a veritable hawk at grabbing Pete’s forward passes out of the air. His work on the whole was splendid. McGammon played a hard game at right half, and was one of the stars of the Buchtel game. But owing to injuries received in that game his football record for the season was cut short. Erown, Captain elect for 1912, was one of the best charges in the backfield. Besides his good work in advancing the ball, he was of invaluable service on the defensive. Time after time he stopped the line bucks of opposing teams by hurling himself into the gap, or by low, hard tackling under heavy interferences. On the whole Northern’s work was characterized by speed and good team work, the result of which the scores below show. SECOND TEAM I N reviewing the past football season it must be remembered that the success of the varsity team was due largely to the faithfulness of the second team men who were on the field every day for practice. Without these players and their opposition in the scrimmage, the first team could not have been gotten into condition to meet the warriors from other colleges. Although these players were seldom applauded from the side lines, we wish to assure them that every lover of sport at Northern appreciates their good work. Members of Second Team Awarded Official “O.

TRACK ATHLETICS I T is extremely difficult to arouse any interest in track athletics when no track is available €or the use of the men. Such is and has been the case at Northern. Without the track on which systematic and daily training can be had, but few athletes have taken interest enough to work for positions on the team ; consequently much good material has remained undeveloped. That no track team can be gotten into condition without the track on which to properly train was proven at the 1911 Big Six Meet. Although composed of men of ability, some of whom held previous records that easily placed them in the high standing of their competitors, yet the only place taken by the squad was a tie by Babcock for fourth place; and all due entirely to the lack of a track, and the resulting laxness in training. Cut a better day is dawning for Northern. Plans are now made for the construction of a modern quarter mile track on the Alumni Field. Its comple¬ tion will place Northern on an equal footing with her many rivals. The men selected to represent Northern at the Big Six Meet in 1911 were: sprinters—Hughes and Eabcock; high jump—Reed and Babcock; pole vault— Dennis; shot put—Martin; hammer—Kemmer. After the meet Eabcock was unanimously chosen by the squad €or Captain of the 1912 team. The first of the Junior-Senior Interclass Meets, held May 20th, 1911, was won by the Seniors with 84 points against 78 points for the Juniors. The Intersociety Meet of Commencement Week was won by the Franklins with a total of 674 points. The Fhilos were a very close second with 664 points; while the Adelphians succeeded in scoring 39 points. Babcock made the highest individual score winning in all 39 points. In this meet Reed cleared the bar at 5 ’ 7 , establishing a new Intersociety high jump record. Babcock also set a new mark in the running broad by jumping 19 ’ 10”. . .
