L « ™ $lhena An Appreciation HE Class of 1915 appreciates you, Prexy, or at least we try to. We know you have made it possible, in a very large measure, for us to have the advantages of a first- class institution of hi gher learning during the past four years. Those cf us who get degree; and diplomas in the College of Liberal Arts and its schools know that you have been instru- mental in keeping up their standards until they rank with the best of the land. The rest of us who graduate from the State Normal College and its schools know that normal training in this state would have been impossible but for your untiring zeal in legislative halls. We like you because you have an interest in us; because you have advised wisely when we needed advice; because you have reprimanded when we needed reprimanding; because you in- spired and encouraged us when we needed inspiration and encour- agement; because you want us to make our lives successful. We want you to know that we shall never forget your kind- ness and your zealous labors to make Ohio the school of your dreams. 29 ( hhena EHfi Chubb Richeson Evans Dunkle Hoover Elson Treudley Atkinson Mercer Chrisman Addicott Bentley 30 Faculty Edwin Watts Chubb, Dean College of Liberal Arts.

Martzolff furnished the data from which this short history of Ohio University was compiled. Some of the following may be new to those who read, but most of it is the same old, but ever new, story. Mr. Roberts has written it in a new and interesting way. — Ed.) HILE the Red Warrior still walked in the moonlit hills of Southern Ohio, with his dusky mate and ere the first White Settler built his cabin and sent up the first curl of smoke beneath the blue, the seeds were sown that spelled exile to the simple son of the forest and conquest to the children of the Great White Father. In the dying hours of a young and feeble Congress, Dr. Manasseh Cutler, the patron saint of the Great Northwest, con- cluded the Ohio Company ' s purchase, but it was only the feather in the scales of fate that determined the transaction. For weeks Congress had deliberated over his offered terms and the patience of Cutler had at last become exhausted. Massachusetts had offered him land and after a final plea for a portion of the Ohio Country was met with an apparently final refusal, he began to pack his belongings, to leave Congress and make terms with Massachusetts. This act of manly decision stirred the legisla- ture ' s torpor, the Ohio Country must be peopled and a man of such ability must not be lost. Cutler was called back and with no quibbling over technicalities the contract was drafted. In a sub- sequent article it was stipulated that two townships should be given perpetually for the purposes of an University, to be laid off by the purchaser or purchasers, as near the center as may be (so that the same shall be of good land) to be applied to the intended object by the Legislature of the state. (July 23, 1787.) In order to avoid too long delay it was agreed that the company 43 ' (i thena Drawn by Henry Howe, IS46. Ohio University, at Athens. Ohio University, 1846 should be given possession of the two townships as soon as one and a half million acres had been paid for. All legal obstacles were now removed but this could scarcely be called a beginning. An University had been arranged for far to the west of the most extreme frontier, in a wilderness where no white man had ever ventured, but the hands and hearts that had made the United Colonies into the United States, feared nothing nor thought no task too great and with this spirit of fearlessness and determination, a little band of pioneers, headed by the father of Ohio, Rufus Putnam, left Ipswich, Massachu- setts December 3, 1787, and when the first sunshine of spring was chasing the few last lingering shadows of winter from this primitive Eden of the West they alighted where the blue Muskingum plights its troth with the languid Ohio and there in the depth of the forest erected the first home of the White Man. But the Indian edict had gone forth that no White Man shall plant corn in the Ohio Country, and for a time it seemed that this would be enforced. In 1790 General Harmar saw his army cut to pieces in Western Ohio. Manasseh Cutler 44 iflhhena Rufus Putnam Scarcely had the news of this disas- ter reached Marietta when the more appalling, because more near, came the crushing report of the massacre at Big Bottom, a sister settlement a few miles further up the Musking- um, and not until Anthony Wayne had sworn vengeance upon the abo- rigines over the bleached bones of Harmar ' s men and crushed their power beyond all hope of reuniting, were the settlers allowed to think of a university. Had not the Indian Wars broken out the location would have perhaps been nearer the site of Marietta. But after the struggle had subsided the thoughts of men were changed and a reconnoitering committee sent out to locate a suitable spot. The townships were chosen and a committee with Rufus Putnam at its head was selected to lay off a town plat with a square for the college. To show the almost ludicrous side of such an attempt it is stated that: The committee was accompanied by our surveyor, a number of assist- ants and fifteen men to guard against a possible Indian attack. This was certainly a strange introduction of the classics into the Old Northwest. In a fleet of canoes propelled by the power of the setting pole against the swift and narrow channel of the great Hock-Hocking, accompanied by armed guards against the lurking- savages and carrying with them pork, beans and hardtack that made up their rough fare, a committee of old veterans of three wars proceeded to fix with compass and chain the boundary of university lands. There was little of polish or culture in the 45 Edware Tiffin ' ' (Athena V _ THE SUN DIAL This marker shows the approximate location of the old American Univer- sity building, which was the first building- devoted to higher education in the Northwest Territory. undertaking but rifles, canoes, and salt pork were never put to better use. Such was the genesis of Ohio University. In 1801, the University Lands contained about nine hundred inhabitants, the country was still primeval and flocks of wild turkeys were quite common above the primitive poplars, the na- tive trees of the campus. Dr. Elipaz Perkins of the University Country, reported to have one day met a bear leisurely ambling over the present site of the college apparently inspecting for him- self the first steps toward higher education in his dominions. In 1799, General Putnam wrote to Dr. Cutler, the staunchest friend of Ohio in its early days, and announced that the annual revenue would soon be five thousand dollars — a sum now less than the annual salary of the president alone. In a later com- munication of the same year General Putnam begged Dr. Cutler to mail at once some sort of a charter for a college or academy for he was totally destitute of any such article. Dr. Cutler at once made out an exhaustive treatise modeled after Yale, of which he was an alumnus, and sent it to Putnam. The Univer- 46 y fithena sity was designated American University, but the state legis- lature, by an act of 1804, incorpo- rated it and changed the name to Ohio University, which name it has since retained. By this same act the governor of the new state was empowered the first meeting of the Board of Trustees, which he did on June 4, 1804. Governor Tiffin came from Chillicothe; Samuel Car- penter from Lancaster; Rev. James Kilbourne from beyond Columbus; and Rufus Putnam from Marietta, all to the timid village of Athens then hovering on the banks of the Hock-Hocking. These men had come through the perils of primeval forests. At night the lurking savages skulked near their bivouac and the prowling wolves protested this intrusion of the White Man, but despite dangers and distance they met and all lingering differences were adjusted. In 1808 a course of study consisting of: English, Latin, Greek, Mathemat- S. S. Cox American Western University 47 ' c hhena Wm. H. McGuffey ics, Rhetoric, Logic, Geography and Philosophy (natural and moral ) was adopted and Rev. Lind- ley, of Princeton, became the fac- ulty. On the first registration day three young men made appli- cation for admission — Joel Ab- bott, John Perkins and Brewster Higley. The next year (1809) came Thomas Ewing, who is now honored wherever the name Ohio is revered. In the sweet- scented month of May, 1815, when the soothing breezes caressed the still virgin forest, Thomas Ewing and John Hunter, the first wearers of Ohio ' s seal, went forth to prove the efficiency of a great university, even from its earliest days, for although Hunter died the following year, fifteen years later found Thomas Ewing in the United States Senate, and when the storm days of Andrew Jackson ' s administration upset all pre- cedent, Ewing was the only man that could by sheer merit obtain a position against an adverse aggregation. In 1812, notwithstanding that the country was torn with a second war for independence, the standing of the University had become so gratifying that a new building was ordered erected and in 1817 was completed at a cost of near $17,000. This structure, the present Manasseh Cutler Hall, is today the oldest college building northwest of the Ohio and bids fair to witness the coming of as many generations in the future as it has seen departing in the past. From this time prospects became bright- er and soon John Dana, of Dart- mouth, became professor of lan- guages; Rev. James Irvine, of Union College, professor of mathe- 48 Governor Brough y ' thena Campus View in 1865 matics, and was later chosen president of the institution, but be- cause of ill health never entered on his duties. Rev. Dr. Robert G. Wilson, of Chillicothe, was later chosen in his stead. Dr. Wil- son was a South Carolinian by birth. As a boy he had known John C. Calhoun, had received his academic education in the same academy in which Andrew Jackson had been educated, and had graduated with James Buchanon at Dickinson College. Prince- ton University had conferred upon him a doctorate. He inau- gurated to the presidency of the University August 11, 1824. At this time came one of the most remarkable incidents in the history of Ohio. The Reed boys came from a farm near Urbana, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. There were in the family seven boys, and the father, desiring to give them the best educational advantages within reach, selected the Ohio Uni- versity. But their help was needed in both the spring and the fall on the farm, so they had to journey back and forth at these 49 y ' t hhena 50 y ' fithena seasons. The journey was made in a two-horse carriage and it took three days to make the trip each way. The father took his boys back and forth one hundred and twenty times. In all he traveled eighteen thousand miles, or a distance equal to three- fourths the distance around the globe. Of course it paid. Dan- iel, the elder, who graduated in 1824, was for years a member of the faculty of his Alma Mater. Then he became a college presi- dent. Three became successful lawyers and one of these a Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio. Two became physicians and the seventh was shot while commanding a vessel in running the block- ade in the Mississippi during the Civil War. In 1839, William H. McGuffey, one of the greatest educators of his time, succeeded Wilson as president and his widely known scholarship became at once a great drawing card for the Univer- sity. The students began to flock to Ohio and prospects never were brighter for a great future, but a usurper in the form of the state legislature was preparing to strike her brilliant pros- pects a staggering blow. The time for the reappraisement of the college lands had come and, no honor to them, the owners opposed their revaluation, and less honor to the legislators of the state, who furnished a grave suspicion that fools too often mar a task that would baffle wise men to perform, when they stole the patrimony which should have been hers for all time. And no friend of Ohio need waste their time in trying to excuse Governor Tiffin for his part in this backward step, for if partisan bias did not influence him to stand aside while the college was robbed of its income, a dilemma must be acce pted, the other horn of which was ignorance. The star for Ohio grew dim. A deficit began to replace her former surplus and students and faculty members began to leave. Finally, unsupported and discouraged, McGuffey himself resigned and for two years the institution was continued 51 hhena J. 7 - O Q - ' -.

Then her doors were closed and for a time ignor- ance triumphed over reason and Ohio lost one of her most distin- guished students, S. S. ( Sunset ) Cox, orator, poet and artist; later diplomat to Turkey and a character of international fame. While at Ohio he occupied the northwest corner of the second floor of the West Wing, and there, on the unpapered wall, he painted a reproduction of Laocoon Group. So artistically was this done that it has since been removed to the Smithsonian Insti- tution at Washington and is the one bright light in Ohio ' s long, dark night, from ' 45 to ' 48. In the latter year the Rev. Alfred Ryors, a graduate of Jefferson College, became president, but he was to be engineer of a machine rusty and untrustworthy from a long disuse. Four years of uncertain successes served to satisfy him and he resigned, to be succeeded by Rev. Solomon Howard, of Augusta College, Kentucky, who in a great measure revived the prestige of former years. These were the days of Ben Butterworth, who afterwards represented his state so ably in the national house of representa- tives. College mates were the two Shiras boys — George P., who later became a member of the United States Supreme Court, and Oliver Perry, who served for twenty-one years on the Federal Bench of Iowa. There were many others worthy of mention — Professor Young, the mathematician, and Charles M. Walker, the journalist; Joseph C. Corbin, the Afro-American, who be- came State Superintendent of Education in Arkansas; Judge Hindman of West Virginia; Hugh Boyd, teacher; Charles S. Smart, later Ohio School Commissioner; Prof. Glenn Adney; Bishops David H. Moore and Earl Cranston of the Methodist Church, William Eversole and William D. Lash, prominent Ohio School Superintendents; William H. Scott, afterward President of his Alma Mater and also of Ohio State University; Judge John 53 y hhemi Original Indenture Between the Ohio Land Company and the United States .. y. .1 1 i 6 I i ' ' . ■-- ...

Iliff, the distinguished missionary to the Mormons; Dr. Phillip Zenner, Prof. D. J. Evans, and President John M. Davis of Rio Grande College, and scores of others. The years immediately succeeding the Civil War were especially noted for a large student body. Many of the students had laid aside their books to go to the front and others who had seen service in the army now felt the need of college training and took advantage of the free tuition offered to ex-soldiers at Ohio University. These men were of a more mature training than the ordinary under-graduates and while they were ' back ' in many of their scholastic attainments, they in a measure made up for this lack by their earnestness. 1868 marks a new era at Ohio for the catalogue of that date contains the entry M. Boyd. The catalogue of the next year announced simply Miss Boyd. It was the beginning of co-educa- tion at Ohio and, in fact, one of the pioneer steps in the general education of women. The people of Athens looked askance at this step and the members of the faculty were scarcely less re- actionary than the inhabitants. They feared that it would make her bold and immodest. This, though ludicrous now, was seriously believed then and serves to show that what was termed education then, would be dubbed narrow and shortsighted now. The time was ripe for a forward step. The doors of the Univer- sity were thrown open and today Ohio would be a dreary and un- attractive place, far less modest and refined, were the place of the co-eds to be made vacant. Boyd Hall now stands, a fitting memorial to this first girl of old Ohio. In 1872, William Scott of the Class of ' 62, succeeded Rev. Howard and to him must be given the credit of infusing new life into a slowly vitiating institution. Salaries were low and induce- 55 ($thena ments for an enterprising faculty were slight. The fences around the campus were likewise low and cows were continually annoy- ing the peace of the college routine. The Boyce law was passed, which gave the University an annuity of about three thousand dollars and opened the way for legislative aid. In 1880 an appro- priation bill carrying with it $20,000 for the repair of buildings was passed in the House and the next year in the Senate. There was great opposition and very few expected to see it carry, but the unflagging zeal of Mr. Boyce won out and the future of tne institution was insured. If Dr. Cutler with untiring energy caused the University to be founded, George Washington Boyce, of the Class of ' 67, caused it to be perpetuated and Manasseh Cutler Hall must boast a glory not its own until a similar struc- ture be erected to this untiring, successful, yet unpaid, son of Ohio. President Scott was succeeded by Dr. Charles W. Super, a graduate of Dickinson College. The administration of President Super may well be considered as marking the newer Ohio University. He saw a large future for the institution. The en- tering wedge toward legislative help began to yield results. The Alumni roll grew apace. The legislature, to make amends for a half century of neglect, began to make direct appropriations for its support. It has already been noted that in 1881 the sum of $20,000 had been appropriated for the repair of buildings. Two years later another sum of $10,000 was voted for the same pur- pose. The following year $5,000 for general support was set aside. The year 1886 indicates yet another recognition: of the $8,000 intended for the college, $5,000 of it was to establish a Chair of Pedagogy. This was a wise move. Ohio University in its early history was noted as a strong teacher ' s college. This phase of her work was now to be strengthened by offering dis- 56 y ftlihena Ye V- «■ -4w .....

Gordy was called to the Chair of Pedagogy and it was a wise election. Students began to flock, as in the days of McGuffey, to Athens. Thus auspi- ciously was the seed sown which ripened into the establishment of the first state supported Normal College in Ohio, at Athens, March 12, 1902, during the administration of Dr. Alston Ellis. The direct appropriations continued to increase year by year. In 1896 bonds to the amount of $55,000 were voted for the erection of Ewing Hall, now the administration building. Old Chapel was moved from the ground to be occupied by this new building to its present location behind Manasseh Cutler Hall and rechristened Music Hall. This same year President Super was succeeded by Dr. Isaac Crook, who managed the affairs of the institution until 1898. Dr. Super again took charge as executive of the University and in 1901 gave way to Dr. Alston Ellis, who retains the position at this time. Thanks to the untiring efforts of one man, the last chapter in Ohio ' s history is the brightest. Here the romance of the past affords a fitting background upon which is to be painted the suc- cesses of the once derided hobby of Dr. Cutler. No more shall the doors of the grand old college be locked ; no more shall rival colleges meet her in combat without fear. All eyes are now cen- tered upon what was once a questionable existence ; all fields are now represented by Ohio ' s men and the one force which has made this possible is none other than Dr. Ellis, the present in- cumbent in the President ' s chair. In 1901 Dr. Ellis became the President of an institution whose standing was not of the highest. A debt of fifty-five thou- sand dollars rested on Ewing Hall. A woman ' s dormitory was rented at seventeen hundred dollars per year besides paying all upkeep and less than twenty-five girls were housed. The athletic 59 (ffitkena Normal Collece in 1903 field was private property and the University paid an annual rent of two hundred and twenty-five dollars besides the taxes. Not a dollar had been paid on the paving which now connects the various buildings. The only College buildings in 1901 were Ewing Hall, still unpaid for, East Wing, West Wing, Cutler Hall and the Old Chapel, but a change almost miraculous has been wrought. Where the grass grew unmolested a few years back there now rise magnificent structures. Where the books of the institution once showed a deficit of fifty-five thousand dollars there now smiles an ample surplus and the more remarkable because of the improvements which have demanded funds. One hundred and fifty-nine thousand and sixty dollars has been in- vested as follows: Ellis Hall, home of the State Normal College, ■I Old Ellis Hall (1903) 60 y fithena $120,000; Carnegie Library, $80,000; Boyd Hall, a modern and well equipped dormitory for women, $60,000; Science Hall, $90,000; Training School, a department of the Normal College, $59,000 ; Agricultural Building, devoted to agriculture and house- hold arts, $90,000 ; Gymnasium, one of the finest in the state, $55,- 000; Women ' s Hall, another and later dormitory, $60,000; be- sides the Heating Plant and tunnel, built at a cost of $50,000, and the Electric Plant, erected at the cost of $15,000. Nor does it end here; arrangements and plans are fast being perfected for two new dormitories to cost $100,000 each and a new College of Music to cost $50,000. The Carnegie Library is being made more commodious at a cost of $25,000, and even with this phe- nomenal growth students are crowding the halls so eagerly that the problem of sufficient accommodations is ever a serious one. And all this through the untiring efforts and the genius of one man. Could any monument be more coveted, could a life of service be better spent? Dr. Alston Ellis graduated from Miami University with the B.S. degree in 1865 ; A.B. in 1867 and A.M. in 1872. He has been the recipient of four doctor ' s degrees and held offices of trust and honor. The history of the University since 1901 has been the history of Dr. Ellis. He has submerged everything that would detract and espoused everything that would promote the University. The sunset, the twilight deepens and a century of progress is ended. Ended on the very threshold of greater things, ended in the dim gray of the breaking dawn of a new and greater cen- tury, ended with the fears of the past. Dying to give life to a future greater than the present, fading peacefully away before the coming of a millennium of progress. 61 thena List of Share Holders- Company •Ohio Land 62 ALUMNI y fithena The Alumni Memorial JKEXCil fALMORlAL (SATE, The beautiful main gateway to the campus which is to be dedicated during commencement season has been donated by the loyal Alumni of Ohio University.

D USED to think, in college days — | No ! Come to think, I didn ' t do it — Fancied I knew a hundred ways To win. I smiled Just lead me to it. I ' ve never tried one way I planned In those dear days of painless greenness. Yet sometimes, on the other hand, I envy them their sweet sereneness. The things I then believed to be The pinnacle of earthly glory, Now lie about the feet of me; But, bless us, what a different story Life seems, since it is nearer told ! That pinnacle frowns sternly o ' er me. Unreachable, forbidding, cold, While braver souls run on before me. Youth offers Fame whate ' er he owns Or hopes to own, for her sweet favor. Maturity makes grudging loans — Has lost his thirst for glory ' s savor. At length desire ' s reduced to this: A soul attuned to Him above us; A home, a task, contentment ' s kiss, And family and friends to love us.

Sherman and Dean Dallas Lore Sharp. The author, Charles Matthews, is one of Ohio ' s prominent alumni. Several of his recent poems have been published in The Atlantic Monthly. ) God said : With eyes fixed on the toilsome ground Mankind will miss my masterpiece and me. Hence let a lure be hidden hauntingly Among the things he loves ; and bowed or bound Let soft beseechments beset him round. Call up unliveried workmen from the sea And bid them fashion through eternity A path of beauty to the blue profound. Then there came up an army of the air, The primal moths and queer incohate bees, — Were ever any artists such as these, The makers of the flowers? And earth grew fair With miniatures of morning ; and the breeze Of even stirred with heavenly similies. 66 J hhena A Great Medical Firm Bishop David H. Moore (Editor ' s Note: Dr. Moore has had a busy life and he feels that the best word of advice to the class of 1915 that he can give is to administer knock-out drops to the great globs of gloom that always bob up when the cares of life come.) HE three doctors who cure all ills, according to an old Dietetics has become a well-defined province of hygiene. authority, are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman. Time, kind and quantity are its three great factors. Each has much to do with one ' s health and deserves and requires careful consideration. Of late years much prominence has been given to rest-cure. Sanitariums, where this is the leading feature, are numerous and sanctioned by the leading authorities in medicine. The strain and stress of modern business register their baleful in- fluence on the nervous system. Just now a young friend of mine, who for months has been engaged in leading his political victory, finds himself sleepless and unstrung. He is a sample of almost countless similar cases. A faulty dietary, or unrestricted in- dulgence in food, eating at all hours or unreasonable hours, put the digestive apparatus out of commission and the nerves go on a strike. The sufferer interned in the Scarlet Oaks, or some equally attractive and well-conducted retreat, in due time be- comes normal. I suppose every kind of nervous disorder affects deleteriously all physical conditions. Hence the offices of Dr. Diet and Dr. Quiet should have no lack of patients. Dr. Merryman is the commissioner of recreation, whose busi- ness is to see that every man has enough and of the right kind and not too much. One of his wall mottoes reads, All work and no plan makes Jack a dull boy. Another, which I seem to have seen in the Bible — A Merry Heart is the Life of the Flesh. His name suggests that this is an ancestral tablet. One day I had 67 (ffithena quite a talk with him and asked if he was opposed to work. His answer was as earnest an advocacy of work as I remember to have heard. Work? he said, work is of divine appointment. We are to eat our bread in the sweat of our brows. The bread of idleness is unwholesome, disease breeding. Whether the work be intellectual or manual, or both, it is a condition of manhood. It is literally true that there is no great excellence without labor. Tennyson, who has much to say about the Golden Year when ' all men ' s good shall be each man ' s rule ' most truly affirms that ' — unto him who works and feels he works This same grand year is ever at the doors. ' What I mean is, that there may be an intemperance in work; such an enslavement by it that the social instincts are necessarily denied ; body and mind break down ; dullness, apathy, gloom and death follow. The old time ' rule of three ' was, ' Eight hours for sleep, eight for work, eight for recreation. I urge its practice upon all my patients. Sometimes a change of occupation serves as recreation. Change, variety, novelty — these are the best elements in the best vitality. By this time he has led me into his pharmacy, and I saw a great jar, marked Mother Tincture — The Ludicrous ; and many smaller bottles, the base of whose contents I inferred was the former,— labeled Wit, Humor, Puns, Bulls, Laughter, Comedy, Mirth, Bon Mot, Caricature, Farce, Skit. There were others marked POISON, among which I noticed, Irony, Satire, Ridicule. His library impressed me; Sidney Smith, Cervantes, Arte- mus Ward, Lewis Carroll, Samuel Foote, Hood, Hazlitt, Lady Nairne, Charles Lamb, Spenser, Shakespeare, Dickens, Thackeray, Irving, George Eliot, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and many others, denoting a wide range of authorities; besides several standard works on Psychology, including Haven, my favorite fifty years ago. fiR ( thena Seeking to draw him out, I complimented him on the neat- ness of his pharmacy and his noble selection of authorities, and then ventured the remark that I saw nothing on ATHLETICS. Whereupon he smiled and said, You can pick up authorities on Athletics anywhere, even preachers ' come across ' in their pulpits and slum and society are alike au fait. I believe in manly sports, but they are overdone. Temperance is needed here. Modera- tion should be enforced. No, what I seek to do in conserving the whole man, is to secure the general use of the compounds you have not iced. The perception and enjoyment of the ludicrous is, indeed, the ' Mother Tincture ' out of which comes the zest of play. You complimented me on my authorities. They are a unit on this. Indeed Spenser says, ' Only sleep and laughter rest the brain. ' And Milton, ' The vein of laughter hath ofttimes a strong and sinewy force in teaching and computing. ' While an unknown rhymster puts it thus — ' The thing that goe: the farthest toward making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most is just a pleasant smile. ' I mean, that this spirit of laughter is that which in one way or the other makes sport sport, games games, recreation recreation. Hence, I deal in the ' Mother Tincture. ' The trouble with too many is that they can ' t see a bright side even to the moon. What do I prescribe for them? It depends; if the case is not chronic I give them a mild dose of ' Wit, ' say this, which is quite effective — ' Mary had a little lamb, Likewise a lobster stew, And ere the sunlit morning dawned She had a nightmare, too. ' Or, if a stronger stimulant is required, sometimes this answers: ' When Pat was taken to account for running away from battle, he saluted the officer and said, I ' d rather be a common coward 69 thena for half an hour than a corpse the rest of my days. If the patient is a lady with literary tendencies, and an unwholesome fondness for dress — though these do not often concur — this has before now brought quick returns: ' Sidney Smith ' s father was observing how many of the world ' s eminent men had been of diminutive stature, and designated his friend B — , who had not body enough to cover his mind decently, and left his intellect improperly exposed. ' Yet my great aim, in this and every case, is to bring about a constitutional change. I agree with Addison, whom I regard as one of my best authorities, in ' prefering cheer- fulness to mirth; considering the latter an act, the former an habit of the mind. Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment ; Cheerful- ness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity. Expressing my general acquiescence in his theory and prac- tice, I pointed to the remedies marked POISON. Oh! said he, those are very dangerous, and never to be used save in the most extreme cases. You never want to hurt anybody ' s feelings. In the long run it does no good — you lose more than you gain by it. Were I a lawyer, I would bear this in mind in cross exam- ining a witness, and in addressing the court and the jury. Who was it? Canning, I believe, who never made a speech without making an enemy. No need of it. No sense in it. How much better Edwin Burke ' s plan. One day when he was making a speech in favor of abolishing slavery, in spite of his eloquent appeal, the crowd began to get angry, and at last a rotten egg caught him full in the face. He calmly wiped his face and quietly said, ' I always held that the arguments in favor of slavery were rather unsound. ' The crowd roared their applause, and he was not again molested. That ' s my idea: good humor, a happy, cheerful disposition; St. Paul ' s idea of ' doing good to all men ' : better yet, the Saviour ' s ' loving God with all the heart, and one ' s neighbor as one ' s self. ' ' Play, ' therefore, to answer its real pur- VII y ftthena pose, must come from the heart. ' The laughter of fools is as the crackling of thorns under a pot ' : that ' s from the greater author- ity on my shelves, you didn ' t notice it, the Bible. And this from Shakespeare, my next highest authority, carries a great truth, where he describes the hideously hateful Cassius, — ' He loves no plays, As thou dost, Anthony; he hears no music; Seldom he smiles ; and smiles in such a sort, As if he mocked himself, and scorned his spirit That could be moved to smile at anything. ' These are the extremes, between them lies the golden mean. It is in this sense that we can say with Hazlitt: ' Comedy is a grace- ful ornament to the civil order; the Corinthian capital of polished society. ' Feeling that I myself had been greatly refreshed by his Mother Tincture, I wrung Dr. Merryman ' s hand a grateful farewell, and left him with the assurance that I would, with his permission, often find my way to his office. 71 y ' flihena The Ohio Alumni Association ]0 far as the available records show, the first attempt to organize the Alumni of the Ohio University was in 1859. On the second of June that year a number of the Alumni met in the Chapel Hall, West Wing, and organized by electing Hon. A. G. Brown, of the Class of 1822, Chairman, and Prof. W. H. Young, Class of 1853, yet living, as Secretary. A committee of three was appointed to draft a Constitution. This committee was composed of Rev. Amos Miller, Dr. J. M. Trimble and Mr. J. K. Mower. The meeting was addressed by the Chairman, who gave some reminiscences of the early days of the University; a Constitu- tion was adopted, which, with but few changes, remains the organic law of the Alumni Association ; and officers elected. The purpose of the organization as set forth in the Constitu- tion shall be to Fraternize and Cultivate more familiar acquaint- anceship among the Alumni of the University. A circular was prepared and sent to the Alumni, enlisting their co-operation. Arrangements were also made for the first meeting to be held the succeeding year. It is significant that the first Alumni address was to be by the first Alumnus, Thomas Ewing, which was accordingly done on Wednesday, June 20, 1860. The Association ' s activities from this on till 1906 were the voluntary services rendered by the Alumni. The features of the annual occasions were the annual address and social intercourse, accompanied by a banquet or luncheon. Nothing was done to keep track of the whereabouts of the Alumni. The Centennial Home Coming in 1904 demonstrated the necessity of having a permanent department, which would keep in touch with the 72 y hhena Alumni, enlist their help and co-operation for the upbuilding of the University. Two years later the Board of Trustees created the office of Alumni Secretary, and Mr. C. H. Bryson was selected to fill the po. c ition. Under his supervision a beginning was made to locate all living Alumni, and considerable progress was made. In 1908 the present Secretary took charge of the work. Dur- ing his administration he has collected material concerning all of the Alumni, living and dead, and has preserved the records in the archives of the University. He has also collected much valuable matter relating to the College and has made it accessible. Another feature of his work has been the organization of branch Alumni Associations, which meet from time to time, and this tends to keep alive the spirit of 0. U. Another phase of his work is the publication of a monthly Bulletin, which aims to herald the doings of Alumni and record their achievements. % 73 ( hhena David Hastings Moore Bishop David H.

So closely has it identified itself with purely academic and collegiate work pertaining to a college of arts and sciences that it is difficult to distinguish between what is Ohio University and what is the College of Liberal Arts. During its long career the College of Liberal Arts has followed the course of many another college with respect to the evolution of its curriculum. The newest revision of the curriculum is based upon the group system. Hereafter the degree of A.B. will be given to all who complete a Liberal Arts course. This does not imply greater restriction as to choice of studies, on the contrary the student will have greater liberty than ever before. s2 ihena Ohio ' s Normal College Ohio University took a new lease on life when the Ohio Gen- eral Assembly decided in March, 1902, by the passage of the Seese Bill, to attach to the University the State Normal College for the training of all students desiring to prepare themselves for the work of teaching, quoting from the law referred to. The law further authorized the Board of Trustees to organize a school which shall be co-ordinate with existing courses of in- struction. The law further provided a separate mill-tax sup- port for the State Normal College and this mill-tax has been assessed each year since the passage of the Seese Bill. Hence, the State Normal College is not a Department of Ohio Univer- sity, but a co-ordinate College with its own direct tax levy inde- pendent of any levy that may be made from time to time for the support of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1906 the law was amended so as to provide that all special appropriations for new buildings shall be made to the State Normal College, and all buildings erected since then came to the University through the Normal College. The courses of instruction lead to diplomas in Elementary Education, Kindergarten Education, Agricultural Education, Manual Training, Domestic Science, Public School Music, Public School Drawing, and to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. Teachers trained in the State Normal College receive State Certificates valid in any school in the State for four years, and life certificates from the Ohio State Board of School Examiners. These diplomas are accepted by at least one-half of the States of the Union without examination. Graduates of the State Normal College are in great demand at good salaries. The courses of instruction compare favorably with those of the best professional schools in the country, and the graduates of this College are known for their thorough scholarship, their wise training, their culture and refinement, and the high grade of work they are prepared to do for the public. 83 TZEiL llllll ' llllllinimiiniii -snvf rtT 3 nur I ) 3TA T f VREIC TT c?

Ill iyi %fhena The Toiler ALL not that one ignoble who must toil With gnarled hands and sweat upon his brow At humble tasks where he must hopeless bow And never go up higher. Rather, coil The laurel round his head; his is the spoil A hero dies for, but he lives. Give honor now ! Tis easier to die than to allow Life to be spent for others in the moil. For if the Thor of labor left the wheel Or cast aside the shovel and rebelled. The world would from her stable comfort reel In economic chaos; she is held In order by his muscle of strong steel. Let honor crown him, free and uncompelled. C. C. 112 UtflllPStlC VC1 bmeshc ucience 113 ° rthena Rhea Flynn New Philadelphia, Ohio.

In vain He tried to wipe the clutch mark; Never fear, He told himself, No one will see it here. A patch will cover though the splotch remain. Well, he was right ; none saw. But when the sun Slid down behind yon misty purple hill The spot shone bloody; and, as night begun, Gleamed phosphorescent, let him clothe the ill A thousand-fold ; though of all men, not one Could spy it, he himself saw, — gone his will !

Junkermann, A.M., M.D., D.D.S., and associates, and in the same year it became an incorporated body under the laws of the State of Ohio. It is a dental college in the strictest sense, its entire building being equipped for theoretical and practical teaching. It is the rule of the board of trus- tees that the faculty be composed of dental and medical men of superior attainment and long experience, and as far as it is practicable each mem- ber of the faculty demonstrates his own department of the college clinic and laboratories, thus bringing the student in very close touch with his teachers. In 1902 the college became affiliated with the Ohio University, becom- ing its dental department. The diplomas of the dental department are signed by the president and secretary of the University and receive its official seal besides the signatures and seal of the college itself. Dr. G. S. Junkermann was made dean at the inception of the college and has occupied this important position up to the present time. His entire time is given to college work and through his persistent and indom- itable force the college was brought through its early struggles to the en- viable position which it holds today. This college has fourteen members in its faculty. The members of the faculty are severally members of important state and national dental and medical societies. It is a member of the National Association of Dental Faculties and complies strictly with its rules and regulations, and is invested with the authority to confer the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. 153 ( hhena Dental College Faculty G.

The Old Ohio Band swings itself around the corners followed by everybody. Prexy leads the procession with his silk doctor ' s gown coming in for its share of admiration, then come the mem- bers of the faculty in full gown, then the Seniors for the first time in cap and gown, then the classes below — first the Juniors, then the Sophs and Frosh. They stretch themselves over five or six city blocks and everybody in town looks on. When you stop to think about it, though, we are really a big school. You must remember that 4,100 different students walked up and down the campus walks last year and that we rank seven- teenth among the universities in the United States. The pro- cession just brings home the fact to us. When you get down by the corner at the Masonic Temple and look back across the campus toward Ellis Hall and see them still coming, it, sort of makes you want to sing a good Ohio song like you never sang it before. And say — did you ever notice that we always start sing- ing right about Women ' s Hall, well, it ' s enough to inspire any- body. It ' s a mighty good custom. Everybody enjoys it. 155 (fflthena The Lecture Courses ROBABLY one of the most enjoyable and long remem- bered features of college activity is the Lecture Course. _ When you get a chance to hear such a man as Richmond P. Hobson, listen to such a concert as Mme. Evelyn Scotney can give, watch the impersonations of Sidney Landon, there is some- thing that sticks. There was Evans, for instance — Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans. You remember how he so unaffectedly told the story of oppres- sion by those higher up in life. He had been raised an English- man and the nobles were continually forcing him to do their bidding. His sturdy Welsh blood — because he was this particu- lar brand of Englishman — boiled when indignities were continu- ally heaped upon his relatives and as soon as he became older he sought rest from oppression in America. You remember how he told of his visit to Gladstone, when but a boy. The grand old man was the type of man all men could honor. He loved the poor and humble as well as the rich and mighty. Then, too, you remember how he pictured the moneyed class of America which would soon dominate this continent like the nobles of his old land. It was really a treat to listen to the tall, angular Welshman with his rich Celtic voice. The Auditorium is always crowded and you never go away feeling that you could have spent the night more profitably any- where else. Shafer has done all he possibly could to make the course as successful as possible this year. 156 ( hhena The Y. M. Stag ALK about your good, old-fashioned, tear-up times — why, they couldn ' t begin to hold a candle to a Y. M. Stag. When three hundred fellows aching to pull something off on each other get together in one place at one time there ' s bound to be some tall stepping. Blindfold a couple of fellows and give them some good boxing gloves, get a bunch of men to stand around and root and fever begins to run high. Get some nipples and put them on some bottles of sweetened milk, fire the gun and see which fellow empties his bottle first — oh, it ' s great stuff. By the time you have seen fellows made fools of and been made one yourself three or four times you ' ll be feeling so foxy you wish you didn ' t have to do a thing else in the world but go to the Y. M. Stags. When you ' re about all in and wondering what else is going to happen you line yourself up with something that looks like a chain gang, or a big registration day at Dunkle ' s office, and pretty soon a fellow hands you out some of the finest Dutch lunch dope you ever put your teeth into. But you ' ve been there and you know all about it — what ' s the use. After it ' s all over, the whole gang serenades the dorms and has the pleasure of seeing the tousled heads peeping up over the window sills in appreciation of their vocal efforts. Plenty of rah! rah! dope mixed with Eli, Yale and Three Cheers for old (). U. always takes well at Boyd and Women ' s. Always! When you go home and think it all over you can ' t help re- calling some fellow that you never got acquainted with before, somehow. You never thought he was much of a fellow, but somehow-or-other he ' s a real good scout. He ' s not in your class or bunch, no! but he ' s all right just the same. If you had just naturally drawn up in your shell you begin to stick your head out and look around, after a Y. M. Stag. 157 flihena A Glee Club Trip HE first trip of the Ohio University Men ' s Glee Club to New Lexington and Somerset was a howling success. Twenty-three strong they left Athens January 22nd for a real test of strength. The bunch reached Junction City at a little bit after noon, and had to wait there four hours for a train to Somerset. Needless to say, the long-wished-for train was the B. 0. They arrived in Somerset at half past five. It was snowing about twenty-five miles an hour so Manager Bruce Davis hired a couple of autos and some sleighs to take them to the Hotel American. A fine chicken supper awaited them. In spite of the inclement weather a good sized crowd was at the local Opry House to greet the Famous Glee Club, as Davis had advertised them. About an hour before the concert Tyree, who had missed the train at Athens, drove in covered with snow. The concert began at 8:30. The first number was the Sym- pathy Waltz Song. As the strains of You need sympathy floated out the audience sat spellbound. After much applause, Josephine ' s a Flirt was given as an encore. It was indeed a 158 great experience to give a concert when it was not necessary to plant two or three fellows in the audience to lead the applause. The next number was given by McVay, who played Hauser ' s A la Hongroise in his usual masterful way. Dvorak ' s Humor- esque was given as an encore. John Goddard, the brilliant basso profundo of Amesville, Ohio, sang Out of the Deep. The Negro Sermon, by the club, with S. D. Mann singing the solo obligato, was well received and the Winter Song of DeKoven was given as an encore. One of the big hits of the evening was the duet from Sullivan ' s Cox and Box, The Buttercup, by Jack Stage and Luiz de Lima Vianna. The applause was so vocife- rous that they were forced to repeat the number. A special num- ber was given by the Scrumptious Stringed Quartette, composed of Doc Hussey, George Stuart, Tyree and Charlie Nye. Their first number was a medley of popular songs. As an encore they played the River Shannon as a proof of their ability on the sob stuff. They finished up in a whirl with a medley of Ohio songs. Several Ohio students and Alumni in the audience could not restrain the applause when they struck Ohio Will Shine. A double quartette sang Foster ' s Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming. Stan Hastings sang the Pi rate ' s Song from the Peter Pan Song Cycle in his usual pleasing manner. But They Didn ' t by the club was the biggest chorus success of the even- ing. As an encore In the Dark, with obligato solo by Hastings, was given. Alex. Kerr played a flute solo. The second appear- ance of McVay on the program was greeted with great cheering. He played Drdla ' s Souvenir. As an encore the old favorite, A German Dance, received the usual approbation. When an- nouncing the name McVay said, This selection is short, so you will have to listen attentively or you will miss it. Another encore was called — The Swanee River. The last number on the program was a scene from Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Pirates of Penzance — the policemen ' s and pirate ' s choruses. Goddard sang the Sergeant ' s solo, and McVay the Pirate Captain ' s. The Grand Finale was Stand Up and Cheer by the whole club. Professor MacSlator Bethel played all the accompaniments in his usual manner. After a night filled with trouble, the day dawned. Vianna reported the smucks had bothered him the night before and went 159 1Q1 ena around looking for some precious stones that Jack Stage had lost. Luckily close connections were made on the return trip to New Lexington. The manager wired ahead that a show troupe was coming. The concert that evening was even more successful than the night before. Practically every number on the program was encored at least once. McVay and Hastings had to give extra encores. Little change was made in the pro- gram of the evening before. As the encore for the Buttercup duet Vianna sang Tosti ' s Beauty ' s Eyes. The success of Vianna was the surprise of the trip. His light tenor voice was at its best and was accordingly appreciated. After the concert the fellows amused themselves in all sorts of ways. Some got a date (more did not) and some went to a party given at the Rodgers home. Instead of the hotel this time, the fellows put up at private homes. It was indeed reluctantly that the Lexingtonians bade them farewell Sunday morning. Ty and Don said they cried when they left but the report has not yet been substantiated. The unanimous consensus of opinion was that they had never seen such a large number of brilliant, handsome and melodious fellows in all the history of the city. They arrived home Sunday morning. The conductor said they made too much noise on the train, but he couldn ' t appreciate Kill ( flhena real music. The most enjoyable thing of the whole trip was the general bawling out Thompson gave them Monday night. ' Long about the first of February in the second semester the club took a trip to Bremen and during Easter Recess they scooted about over northern Ohio. Their experiences were many and varied but everywhere they were received with the same thunder- ous applause as in Somerset and Lexington. You ' ve got to hand it to Thompson — he ' s given us the only real Glee Club Ohio has had. 161 %thena Dorm Life Down on Park Place is a pile of bricks, in which the heartless parent sticks his daughter, who has come to do her best to gather knowl- edge. Alas, if he could only know what place it is where she must go to sleep and eat, to tease and cheat the ma- tron from the college. In that great pile of bricks and tile the matron would not dare to smile ; some girl might see and think that she was human with a joke. Hence she ' s amazed where girls could learn to drop a lovely Grecian Urn on dark, dark nights down several flights of stairs until it ' s broke. If girls are late in getting in this matron waits them with a grin to tear her hair and claw the air and call all dates for Sunday ; but the co-eds take it with a smile and plan revenge to pass the while, for they know her smoke, it ' s all a joke and they ' ll do it all again on Monday. The matter of the prunes and beans, macaroni, weiners and the greens, is plenty tough but small enough com- pared with the peeana ; for the matron has an artist ' s ear and it gets her goat if she should hear some co-ed fool at the piano stool, — Cut that out, there ! roars Willana. A Mrs. Kaler serves the beans, and she claims the girls must have the means to pay the bill. She yells this till they ' re scared into behaving; and if they do not come across, she says she cannot stand the loss, and with a shout she kicks them out; there ' s method in her raving. But in spite of little things like these the dorm life gets them by de- grees with midnight eats, or in the streets a noisy serenade. They stick to it four long years through and claim they like it all beaucoup: no other feel is half so real as to be a Boyd Hall maid. 162 J, unior 163 $ fthpJia .

It maintains an Information and Employment Bureau for the stu- dents of the University, Bible Classes on Sunday afternoons, classes for foreigners in English, Engineering, etc., the Athens Boy Scouts, and other forms of Christian work. y hhena Y. W. C. A. Top Row — N. Aber, Copeland, Coombs, Kirkbride, Middle Row — Wagner, Hunt, Henry, Leech. Bottom Row — Lash, Hackett, Law, Luntz, Post. I. Abe.- The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. is to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; to pro- mote growth in Christian character and service through phys- ical, social, mental and spiritual training; and to become a social force for the extension of the kingdom of God. The Association is affiliated with the National Y. W. C. A. and through the Na- tional Board, which has its headquarters in New York City, with the World ' s Student Christian Federation. The devotional meet- ings this year have been well attended and exceptionally inter- esting. 223 ( hhena Student Volunteer Band Newman M. Powell, Leader 1WING to the small number of volunteers for the mission field in college, there was no close union and organization until the fall of 1913, when after a visit of Mr. D. F. Mc- Clelland, of the Student Volunteer Movement, six students vol- unteered, making a total of eight for the first organization. Before the end of that year two more were added. In the fall of 1914 only four of the ten returned. However, another came from No rthwestern University and before winter five more enrolled, two of these being foreign students who will carry the Gospel to their own people. The Band now consists of three young women and seven young men. It is indeed gratifying to note this type of organization con- nected with the Christian Associations of a state university. Practically no organization or class in college will exert as large and extended an influence as this Band whose members have pledged themselves to make it their purpose, if God permit, to become foreign missionaries. Meetings are held regularly every Sunday in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. 224 ' ' (Athena or Sk L liei-ar l ' j 225 J rthena Ath enian The Athenian Literary Society was organized in 1819 and chartered as the oldest society of its kind west of the Allegheny Mountains.

The President is G. Floyd Cooper and Miss Hazel Gettles is Secretary. 226 ( hhena Philomathean Organized on January 12, 1821, the Philomathean Literary Society has always stood for the highest literary attainments, and has been a moving force at Ohio for nearly a century. As a winner-picker Philo is without an equal, having received letters of acceptance of honorary membership from forty of the greatest statesmen of the age, twelve of whom later became Presidents of the United States. Among her graduate members are numbered Gen. Wm. Sooy-Smith, S. S. ( Sunset ) Cox, Bishop David H. Moore, Bishop Earl Cranston, Dr. D. J. Evans, and many other illustrious Alumni of Old Ohio. Motto: Meleta to pan. Colors: Crimson and White. 227 %thena Adelphian The Adelphian Literary Society was founded in September, 1909, to meet the growing demand for literary work. From a membership of a score it has become a society with nearly one hundred active and energetic members. Very early the Adelphians entered the literary contests and have held a high rank. Clyde G. Hill is President, Nelle Morris, Secretary, and Grace Bateman, Treasurer. The Motto is: To be, rather than seem. 228 mthe. na Chrestomathean A meeting was called in Dean Chubb ' s classroom in May, 1914, for the purpose of organizing a new literary society. In addition to the Philomathean organizing committee of four, seven students responded to the call. The result was the found- ing of the Chrestomathean Literary Society. Since that time the society has grown to more than thirty members. The mem- bership is limited to twenty-five men and twenty-five women. This Society won both sides of the Inter-Society Debate last win- ter with its two teams. 229 ( fthena English Club Top Row — Roberts, Gettles, Lutes. Middle Row — Flesher, Chubb, Law, Coe.

Voigt, Dean of Women, in the fall of 1913. It is an organization similar to the ones existing in most of the leading u niversities of the country. The object of the league is to bring the girls more closely together and to establish a cordial spirit among them. The matter was first proposed in September at a mass meeting of the girls and at another meeting on October 15th the league was organized. A constitution was drafted by the officers and accepted by the league at a meeting on October 29th. October 31st was set for Tag Day and two hundred and eighty-five girls became active members. The first league party was given in the Gymnasium on November 8th. These parties were given throughout the year once a month and took various forms. The Advisory Board held its first meeting November 18th and these meetings continued once a month during the entire school year. The biggest event of the year 1913-14 was the Maypole Dance and Skit Show, which took place May 11th. The present officers are: Gladys Reichelderfer, President; Christine Law, Vice President; Grace Bateman, Secretary ; Lucille Naylor. Treasurer. With these people in charge the league started on the second year of its existence. Throughout this year the meetings and parties have been held in much the same manner as in the preceding year. A great amount of interest has been given to the planning of the pageant which will be given during the University Com- mencement Week and will form a fitting close to the year. 248 ™( hhena Women ' s League Executive Board Top Row — Voigt, Law, Hunt.

I feel that others are better qualified, for perhaps I am too optimistic or possi- bly not conservative enough. Nevertheless I shall attempt the summary. As I have said at other times the football season last ' fall was not entirely a success. But inasmuch as it was a vast improvement over seasons im- mediately preceding it, I can say it means much. We fought the leaders in the Con- ference, defeated some of them and were humiliated by none. We did that in the face of numerous discouragements trying enough, even to a veteran team. Our Varsity was made up largely of Sophomores. So when we consider all things that together shape a football season we should feel elated. I believe we can look confidently for better results next fall. Athletically, Ohio is just finding herself — is beginning to realize her latest ability. She has come to know at last that to win victories and honor among her worthy rivals in the Con- ference continued and sustained effort in the shape of training, working and thinking must be made. There seems to be an awakening all around. The morale of the student body is splendid. The boys in the teams are showing a willingness to sacrifice personal pleasures for the sake of the team and, inci- dentally, their Alma Mater ' s good. In basket ball the season promised much better than the year 251 ' Ahena before. We had twelve Conference games and stood well up at the end of the year. In track there were thirty-two men out for the team. This is a record-breaking number. They worked faithfully. The prospects for baseball in the spring are excellent. I am looking forward to a better team and better spirit, which means even more. Now that I have briefly reviewed our situation, which to me seems excellent, I want to make it emphatic that as far as Ohio is concerned athletically it is now or never. If we slip back now we are gone for a long time. JJY must not slip back! The time and conditions are right and we must forge ahead! We must place Ohio at the top — where she belongs! But to do this we shall have to sustain the good old spirit and enthusiasm so evident last fall. Each student can help and should consider it a duty to add his or her portion of spirit on every occasion. The teams will do their best if you will do the rest. 252 (Zfhhena M tm! . s mfrxs r Foot Dull yyhhe. na The Season WO years ago Coach Banks started his career at Ohio with a small squad of green football men. He worked faith- fully and brought the Conference standing from less than .100 to .250. This last year that Conference standing leaped to .500 and yet but two of the men on the team were of more than Sophomore rank. Half of the games were won and half lost. The schedule was a much harder one than two years ago, six of the eight games being with Conference teams and those teams were ones that could play football and do it nicely. Of the two non-Conference teams Otterbein was trimmed while Marietta wielded the big stick to her own fashion. Mt. Union, Denison and Cincinnati were successful in holding the big end of the contest, while Miami, Wittenberg and Wooster were forced to kneel to Banks ' Green and White warriors. The scores for the season were: Otterbein 0, Ohio 36; Miami 0, Ohio 6; Denison 20, Ohio 0; Wit- tenberg 7, Ohio 16; Marietta 23, Ohio 19; Wooster 6, Ohio 31; Mt. Union 28, Ohio 6 ; Cincinnati 15, Ohio 0. With but one Senior going out this year and fifteen O men returning next fall, four- teen of them Sophomores, the outlook at Ohio is the brightest in years. 1915 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Oct. 2 — Ohio Northern at Athens.

ILuEkn 259 y khena The Season HE basket ball season at Ohio was a creditable one to the institution. One of the things that directly contributed to this success was the daily practice in the Gymnasium. Captain Dutch Schaeffler had some ten or twelve men under his control. Jube Finsterwald, Shorty McReynolds and Turk Wilson were out in uniform again this year. These old shooters were strengthened by such men as Snake LeRoy, Herb Bash, Mark Hendrickson and Horn. Coach Banks worked his squad overtime and trained them to play ball hard and not the man so much. Successful short passing and throwing and zig-zag dribbing was resorted to. The work of Hendrickson on shooting was superb. Shorty McReynolds closed his Ohio career in glorious fashion. At the first game of the season the largest attendance in the history of the University was experienced and each succeed- ing evening during the season found a very large number of enthusiastic onlookers in the Gym. The schedule was a hard one and drew the attention of everybody. With the pace Ohio started the season she can easily be classed among the best col- leges in the state in athletics. 2G0 (Zfhhena 261 y hhena The Schedule Jan. 9 — Ohio Northern at Athens.

In addition to those of last year the squad will also be made up of Fuller, of East High, Co- lumbus; Bash, of Zanesville High, and Hendrickson, of Norwalk High and a number of others. Captain Potts will be in Ohio again and will probably take a lease on third sack for the season or during good behavior. Dutch Schaeffler, Turk Wilson and Hendrickson will be the stars of the mound, while Ab Finsterwald and Shorty McReynolds will receive the sphere behind the plate. Jube Finsterwald, King, Potts, Hart, McConnell and Shafer will be among the other applicants for positions. Coach Banks will begin training early and will work overtime with actual practice. Besides this he will give evening lectures to the squad. A hard and very interesting schedule has been arranged and the interest in baseball at Ohio promises to surpass that of other years. Manager Parks has secured a number of new and novel suits, while H. H. Haning is fast putting the field into shape and will prepare two diamonds. That Ohio will go down in history as a winner is a settled fact. 264 ehthena 265 (fflthena The Schedule Apr. 9 and 10— Marshall at Huntington, W. Va. Apr. 17—0. W. U. at Athens.

I rarK 267 (ffllhena The Season HE track activities at Ohio were the most encouraging in the history of the institution. The number of applicants out for the various events exceeded thirty and two dozen or more trained daily. Capt. J. Cooke White developed better form than that of last year, which was at that time considered very good. There were a number of other good men out who have had experience in track meets in the past, including Kerr, Moore, Bash, Rogers, Barth, Powell, Walpole and Corner. While it is yet early in the season to predict the results we predict that Ohio will win a majority of the meets and gain honor in carrying out her schedule this year. Coach Banks has taken more interest, the University in gen- eral is more enthused and the applicants are showing deeper interest than has ever been experienced at Ohio in the past. With hard, consistent training all looks good for Ohio to be put on the map this year in track and to place a number of men en the Big Six meet at Columbus.

It has been our constant effort to impress upon the stu- dents of the need of exercise and the great power for good that regular, systematic phys- ical training has upon the body. We have tried to con- vince them that physical action is absolutely necessary to their well-being and that in the long run Nature will in- flict sure and certain penal- ties upon those who do not act in conformity with her laws. The routine class exercises have been made as interesting as possible, because we believe that exercise taken simply be- cause one is required to, loses much of its value. The formal calisthenic drills have been cut down to a minimum and a large part of the work is recreative. Gymnastic games of many different kinds, practice in indoor athletics, and numerous relay races are important features of the gymnasium periods. The running track which was installed last year has added much to the pleasure of relay racing. A great deal of emphasis has been placed upon good posture, proper standing, walking and running. Muscular control is given more attention than the development of brute strength. The heart and lungs are developed but extreme strenuousness avoided. V hhena The following figures are for the College year ending June 4, 1914: Total number enrolled in gymnasium classes: First Semester gir ls 198; men 63 Second Semester girls 146; men 59 Total number attending all classes for the entire year, 10,398. Total number using gymnasium outside classes, 5,236. Total number baths taken, 11,216. The data for the present year is not yet available but it is certain that the enrollment and attendance are above that of last year. One of the important things that have been done in the last three year ' is the training of the Normal classes in physical edu- cation. These young men and women are interested enough in the work to want to teach it, and to this end are taking special instruction in the theory as well as the practice of physical training. These students get their practice teaching by taking charge of some of the regular gymnasium classes. Already some of the e students are out in the work — putting a part of all of their time in the teaching of physical education. Undoubtedly the best class of gymnasts ever at Ohio have been in the Gymnasium this year. Several members in the men ' s Normal class are really fine on heavy apparatus work. The annual gymnasium exhibition was given on January 16. It was pronounced a success and unusually well attended. This year it took the form of a demonstration of regular class work rather than drills merely for show. However it seemed none the less enjoyable because of that. Our purpose was to show the spectators just the kind of work carried on in the regular gym- nasium classes. C. M. DOUTHITT. 273 J Ahena The Situation I am very much pleased to have this opportunity of con- gratulating Coaches Banks, Kaler and Jones, Captain Palmer and his teammates, Student Manager Cooper, and all those con- tributing to the success of athletics this year. We have come through hard schedules and although the out- come of part of the games was not what we had hoped, yet we feel that we have made a big start in the right direction. Our views of the future are only optimistic. We look forward to bigger and better achievements. With every man displaying that same spirit which we suc- ceeded in developing to the proper pitch on but one or two occa- sions, our success in athletic contests will be assured and a much larger per cent of games won will result.

Some of the boys stole to the door and listened to these few sentences as they came solemnly from Ty — Now I lay me down to sleep. Bless Papa and Mama. Be with all my friends and — and — and give a long yell for Ohio. PAROXYSM II. When the football team was putting up at The Grand in Cincinnati, Ab Finst and Roughie Hart were writing back to the dear ones at Ohio. Horn noticed the proceedings and in- quired where he could get some stationery to do the same. When informed that he could get it at the clerk ' s desk, Horn walked over sedately and tapped the bell, then remarked: Sir, give me a quarter ' s worth of stationery. It is needless to say that the clerk fell for the quarter. PAROXYSM III. ' Twas in the Miami game and Hoke ' s first had come in close proximity with his opponent ' s belt. The referee noticed it and sent Hoke to the bench. Harry Cipher Ott was made tempo- rary captain.

A Freshman appeared on Ohio Field one evening last fall and sat with wild, staring eyes and open mouth for half an hour watching the Left Halfback grab the ball and race around the end. Finally he turned to a nearby student and inquired: Who is that old, bald-headed man out there in the back field? Jerry Nixon, came the reply. Well, if he stays here long enough he ' ll make some more player, won ' t he? 277 PAROXYSM V. Holly Ellis was once playing in a High School game in his home town where he seemed to be a particular favorite. The enemy had backed Holly ' s team up to the five yard line when the luck changed and Holly received the ball, broke through the line and went tearing down the field sure for a touchdown. But some voice in the bleachers called out, Drop-kick, Holly, drop- kick! In relating the story last fall Holly said, I just stopped and let fly and the ball sailed over for a beautiful drop-kick an ' we beat ' em three to nothin ' . PAROXYSM VI. The story is told that when the football team was returning from Mt. Union via sleeper, Ab Finsterwald in a berth just above Horn, loked down and remarked, Horn, did you get your clothes put away? I used to get mine in this darned hammock but I ' ve forgot how now. Someone informed Ab that he should hang up his clothes and that the hammock was made to carry one arm. The next morning Ab got up with an arm so sore and stiff that he couldn ' t move it. In referring to it Ab remarked : That hammock was too darned high — purt nigh tore my arm off. PAROXYSM VII. It was at Alliance and the team was seated for dinner. The waitress passed around the bouillon until she came to Englehardt who surprised her by saying: No, thank vou, I never drink coffee. L ' 7S Lolled e Li ■;« 279 ( tthena Old Hat Day HERE in the Sam Hill did they all come from? Why, nobody ever saw so many different kinds, shapes, sizes of hats before. From scrap piles, garbage cans, closets, attics, ash heaps, cellars and every place else imaginable these time-worn lids appear. Little, squatty Jew hats are perched on tall lank Yankees; tall, silk, stove-pipes are worn by low down, fat geezers. Some folks look better than usual and others — well, let ' s don ' t talk about them. I feel like I want to hit somebody. Some folks go so far as to resurrect old waste baskets and frying pans and tie them on their heads with gingham ribbon. Yes-s- siree! The co-eds do most anything to outrival the ed. ' s and even go so far that Prexy has to call them down in Chapel. They ' ll collect — er, I mean congregate — on the steps of East Wing, looking like a set of plumed, domes- ticated birds. They always think they put it all over the men (the men know better) and tell everybody how far over. The men always act very nice when Old Hat Day comes and never pull off any vulgar stuff. They don ' t wear skillets, wastepaper baskets and such but appear in respectable old hats — straw, derby, silk, felt, fuzz et cetera. A year is never complete without Old Hat Day. It ' s a mere matter of course that Commencement Day is observed, of course we have to have Senior Day, it ' s a necessary evil to indulge in the Academic Procession, but college life would be a sorry sort of a grind if Old Hat Day didn ' t come around once in a while. It sort of takes the edges off of life and makes that tickling sensation around the twelfth rib increase its vibrations for twentv-four hours or so. jsn y ' hhena The Mass Meetings If anybody should hap- pen to go along the side- walk near Ewing Hall Au- ditorium some night when there was a real, honest-to- goodness mass meeting go- ing on he would think that the whole $150,000 build- ing was going to cave in. When that man Cooper gets busv with his paint- brush and fills all the Y. M. Sign Boards with dope about how we ' re going to beat Miami you can ' t help going to see w T hat ' s going on ; and when Tyree gets his steam up and comes the Billy Sunday act on the cheering you can ' t believe anything else except V-I-C- T-O-R-Y. Then there ' s that boost- ing Mackinnon ! You ' ve heard him make speeches. You know how he ' ll start in telling you about how he used to act when he was a little boy and you ' ll get so enthusiastic over it that you know the boys will come home with the score all on their side. Dean Voigt, Richeson, Chubb and a whole raft of studes like McReynolds, Nixon, Murch and so on — they make speeches, too. How much extra it costs the University to keep Ewing Hall in repair nobody knows but the real sort of spirit to win in athletics is developed between th ose walls. The roof probably has been damaged a good deal, the plastering is not likely as solid as usual, the art glass windows have probably sagged a little bit in the middle, but way down deep in one cor- ner of your heart there ' s just a wee bit more faith in the squad. 1 1 f ' 1 ourvr uwcm - 281 y hhena The 1914 Summer School My! the sweet young things just covered the campus during the six short Summer School weeks last year. Why, how _ _jJfc __ M j could a fellow stuch when they were eternally about wanting to be looked at? Cases? Gee-muh-nee-krout ! I Whew! Yes, sir ! Ohio University had the third largest summer school in the United States. Columbia University came first in the list, next came Chicago University and then Ohio. It certainly was a crowd. There were so many of them that the University Auditorium couldn ' t begin to hold them, so when chapel time came on Wednesday, prexy just took them out under the old elms in front of West Wing. And, by the way, there were some pretty good speeches made from that balcony last summer. Chief among these was the present Governor of Ohio, Frank B. Willis. Eat? Why, those students naturally ate Athens folks out of house and home. You know they had ' to get the Masonic Temple and convert it into a restaurant. Everybody who went to sum- Lover ' s Lane 282 y fhhena mer school last summer is com- ing back next summer or bust! There ' s absolutely nothing like it! The asylum? I should say so — er, not! You know the Dean of Women said that it wasn ' t al- lowed after night. But it didn ' t cut a bit of ice. One fellow stepped up to a good loking fairy and said : Wouldn ' t you like to take a little walk in the Asylum Grounds tonight? on the hocking Oh, my! I should say I would, but the Dean of Women (whoever that is) said we mustn ' t. Don ' t care a hang for the Dean or anybody else — come along! You mustn ' t talk that way and besides mama and papa back home wouldn ' t like for me to disobey the rules. Well, if that ' s the way you feel about it, what do you say to taking a little promenade in the City Park ! Oh, sure! Call at six. (And they went to the asylum grounds — she didn ' t know the difference.) Every Wednesday night in the light of the old silver moon, the studes all gathered in front of the three old college build- ings and sang the good old songs. The first time or two it was rather feeble — not like the slam-bang stuff in the regular year — but they got the hang of it and pretty soon they could Eli, Yale and Three Cheers like a fellow that had been here for eight years. If those folks could just come back here during the regu- lar year they would make the finest batch of students that Ohio has seen for a while. But they got a touch of the spirit and car- ried it back home. It ' s bound to spread — you can ' t keep that Ohio heart beat inside your own hide two whole days to save your life. Some took it back to Indiana, some to West Virginia, Penn- sylvania, beyond the Rockies and the Alleghenies and even to Egypt, South America, Greece, China, Armenia, Japan. Two thousand, four hundred and four of them will never forget the time they sat beneath the century old trees that summer. Eighty-two counties of Ohio were represented on the campus. Every county was organized in some way and the picnics on East Hill, North Hill, at the Caves came thick and fast. First it would be Perry County, then Hocking or Fairfield that you would see 283 y ' flihena stringing along down the street with basketsful of chicken, olives, sandwiches. They didn ' t do things by halves at these picnics — no marshmallow roast sort o ' stuff! They had Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. meetings just the same as in the regular school year. The Green and White came out every Wednesday. Baseball games were pulled off down at Ohio Field and a Sure-Enough Schedule was hatched up. A big Union Literary Society held its meetings in the auditorium and there were plenty of fellows who could wave their arms two ways for Christmas and bellow like dying calves for liburtee and thuh glowreeyus flawg. There were one or two rowboats down on the Hocking that were generally in use and the town rigged up a Municipal Bath- ing Beach, strung electric lights all under East Bridge, for the benefit of the -2404. Two or three receptions on the campus for the whole student body with lots of ice cream and Japanese lan- terns served to fill in between when you had a night off. Well now ! They did study. All this other stuff just put the finishing touches on the real work. If you know a good place to spend the summer it ' s at the Ohio Snminer School — Isn ' t it? 284 y ' hhena Prexy ' s Return Prexy-rah ! Prexy-rah ! Rah! Rah! Prexy ! ! — was the cry from a thousand student throats when Dr. Ellis alighted from the eastbound B. 0., this particular evening in October. The rah-rah boys and girls had tramped the streets to the station headed by the University band to see their beloved president once more sound and well in Athens. Loyalty stuck out all over everybody. One by one the windows of the train were shoved up ker-bam — and every passenger that wasn ' t seasick took in all that was going on. On the shoulders the crowd carried prexy to an old cart and everybody yelled Speech ! It was some more speech. He told everybody how much better it was to be in Athens than — well, any place else on the globe. Every word was met by cheer on cheer. The top was actually knocked out of the skies for one night, anyhow. The moon smiled — but then, everybody was smiling. Then Prexy piled in his good gray Hudson, the band ran on ahead and churned up some crackin ' good Ohio tune, the thou- sand studes trudged on behind yelling like — you know, like Ohio students. When the old B. 0. pulled out for New York — out through the winding Hocking Valley below Athens — the passengers could catch on the evening breeze, even above the choo-choo-choo of the engine — Three cheers for old Ohio for old 0. U. Now all together smash them and break thru ' Gainst Ohio ' s warriors they can ' t compete Three cheers for Ohio who 285 (i thena Ohio from the Viewpoint of a Foreigner HE dream of a happy mankind, the struggle of nations for a better and higher realization of themselves has been an impelling force in the history of the human race. In the past nations have risen and fallen developing systems of think- ing, ways and methods of acting, laying down the basic principles of government, and enriching life with arts, philosophies and literatures. The American people inheriting the best ideals of humanity, the different races bringing with them from the old world differ- ent materials for the building of a great temple — the Temple of Liberty and Happiness for all times and for all nations — has reached that part of its journey where it stands and looks back for a moment to see what has been done and what is yet to be done. One of these delightful retrospective stops make: itself felt, in a modest corner of the American continent, with the celebration of the One Hundredth Graduating Anniversary of the American University. The American University, now Ohio University, is like all the universities and colleges in the United States. It has a his- tory of wonderful growth and development. Its influence has reached beyond the oceans, and drawn to her students from the four corners of the earth. The writer has come to Ohio Uni- versity from the Land of Ararat. He has found the University as one fulfilling his dreams, aspirations, expectations and hopes. Although a foreigner, he has never felt himself in the halls of the college, or on the campus, or with the students, a stranger. Al- ways welcomed, always greeted with a smile, cordiality and love. Freedom of thought and speech, the two great cornerstones -anVan universities and colleges have frequently been his way of inquiry and study and recitation. He has an unbounded admiration and a profound respect toward the methods and the ways of his teachers who have never shown partiality toward the native students on account of race or country, neither have, at any time, discredited the merits of foreign students nor become stingy in their praise and ovations, always ready to recognize the 286 ] Aherui good work and the praiseworthy successes of the foreign students. Great is, indeed, Ohio University with her spirit, her faculty and achievements. Glad is, indeed, and proud, to celebrate the hundred years of harvest. Come to the Halls of Old Ohio where tongues and nations gathered together give their homage and praise to their dear Alma Mater. The ideal university in America is a center of learning and achievement, where men from China and Japan, Asia and Europe, Africa and South America come to unite in the spirit of brother- hood to listen, to take into their hearts, to fill their souls with the supreme oracles and mysterious revelations of nature and God, the Father of us all. Ohio is nothing short of being s uch a center. Here is the glory of America; here is the destiny of the nations of the world. (J. G. Moskoffian, 15) 287 $thena When the Yellow Number Comes Out _ 4 F all the nuisances a fellow runs amuck during the year, the Yellow Green and White is the worst. You can ' t turn around or look sidewise without some sleuth of a reporter has it all worked out and set down in big headlines in the Yellow. Who started such a bunch of foolishness nobody knows. Some say it was Murch, and others say it was Liggett — all you know for a certainty is, they stung you proper! You are enjoying life rather serenely and thinking nobody knows all the little things that happen once in awhile when some bright, beautiful morning you wake up, rub your eyes and are just congratulating yourself on that bully sleep you had last night when the postman shoves a yellow-looking sheet right under your nose and right there on the front page the whole buxincsn is told in 56 point type clear across the top. Whew! Those re- porters that haven ' t got anything else to do in college but snoop around and pull something on that order ought to be shot; at least you think so. But when you pull yourself together after the fourth or fifth consecutive shock, take a shave and put a little powder on the dark blue places and present yourself on the campus with that gone feeling (you know!) you find that everybody has been hit in the same place and they know how to sympathize. They know it ' s all faked up, old feller, and smear it on thick, you return the compliment and things begin to look brighter. The editors? Oh, they don ' t dare stick their heads out of the Green and White Building five minutes at a time. Things quiet down in a few days and then they ooze forth. You ' ve forgotten all about it by that time and of course acknowl- edge once in a while that there are such beings actually allowed on the campus. Of course, they really meant no harm but — you ' d really rather read a paper with some news in it. 288 BOOK Vli DRIVEL y fhhena DRIVEL THE RAVINGS— DELIRIOUS, DEMENTED AND DEMONI- CAL—OF TWO LATE ESCAPED INMATES OF OHIO UNIVERSITY.— DEDICATED TO ALL THE NUTTS IN COLLEGE FULLA PRUNES, B.

By LEMON ADE CERTAIN Conscientious Editor of the Green and White became wise to the fact that he was not making Good with his Subscribers. They did not seem to be inclined to seek him out on the Campus and tell him he was the Whole Cheese. He suspected that they were rapping him on the Quiet. The Editor knew that there was something Wrong with his Dope. He had been trying to tell the Truth in his Paper. He had said that the recent concert by the College of Musick was Punk. He had furthermore said that everybody in the Ohio University was O.K. except the faculty. He had tried to keep up the newsy standard of his Sheet by refraining from publishing Squibs handed in by the Professors and Prominent Students ' puffing themselves up. But the Subscribers were not tickled. They began to think that he was Poor Stuff for an Editor. So he studied the Situation and decided he would win them and make everybody believe he was Some More Editor by handing out a little Guff. On the Following Thursday the Subscribers opened up their Papers. In big Headlines at the top of the Page they read, BRILLIANT, UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IS CONCERT BY THE COLLEGE OF MUSICK— Great Concourse Of People Vie With Each Other In Singing Praises of Galaxy of Stars. Everybody who hailed from that Department put on their eye- glasses and leaned forward with Expectation. They said to them- selves, This is certainly hot Stuff. 291 Mthena Down in another column he said in ten point, PROFESSOR H MUCH BELOVED BY STUDENTS— Hi: Mentality Far Above Average of Faculty Men — Latest Book on the ' Relation of Sciatica Rheumatism to Geological Fauna, ' A Howling Success. The Editor knew it was all Rot but the Old Professor and his Ad- mirers were On in a minute — they bit their lips and hungered for More. They had paid their perfectly good money for this kind of Journalism. On the next Page he said, HAS CLAIM TO WORLD ' S CHAMPION QUARTERBACK AND WILL MAKE ALL-AMERICA ELEVEN SINCE MIAMI GAME. Some place else he said, ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE TORCH AND HAILED AS MOST PROMINENT MAN ON THE CAMPUS. On the back page he said that the KAPPA ETA PIE SORORITY CAVE MOST DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL FUNCTION OF THE YEAR— All Previous Events Absolutely and Unqualifiedly Eclipsed. He had them Going and there wasn ' t a thing to it. When he would get tired of a news Article that reeked with Slush he would spring a Compliment on the Men ' s Glee Club in the Editorial Col- umn or pull off a Hot Joke on some Good-for-Nothing Cuss to make him feel that he was attracting Publicity. On the Campus that Day there was hardly a Dry Eye. He knew when he looked out from his Office Window in East Wing that he had made a Ten-Strike. The College of Miuick Faculty and Students could not con- trol their Feelings. The Prominent Students all stepped right up and told him that he was putting out the Best Paper ever and the Board of Control knew that at last he was on the Right Track. Perceiving that they would stand for Plenty of It smeared on Well, the Editor knew what to do after that.

Edited, se- lected and composed by the most unpopular guy in college. Spasm One There is a big crumb named Sam Mann Who loves all the ladies he can Then his time he employs In telling the boys How eager the girls to him ran. Spasm Two We know a soprano named Coombs, Who like a Krupp battery booms Since Grandma has totter The way she had otter, But hearers are filled full of glooms. Spasm Three Said the nervy geek, May I kiss your cheek? A blush suffused her face, You ' d get a cough, For my cheek runs off; Please kiss some other place. Spasm Four The German took a gun And he made the Frenchman run Till Monsieur got out of breath ; Then the Frenchman changed his tack And he chased the German back, Then the German turned around, the paper saith.

Grandma ceased her contralto snoring, Let ' s see it, she said, coming nearer My dear, said Doc, I ' d like to knock The block Off the simple fools that edit it. But Grandma said, As she shook her head I know just where to credit it ; The lies were wrote by Martin Bierer. That guy?

Doc giggled hard, Said he, Retard ! It ' s so bloomin ' simple it makes me laugh. Spasm Seven A maid and a man sat on the sand, She held her breath, he held her hand, They both thought the moon was simply grand, So grand it was more than they could stand.

Sir, you may think it ' s sport to be soaked, But I ' d much rather be biffed. The private held the carcass up. His eyes were on the floor.

He took hold of my arm and cuddled up to me, and whispered, ' Why, you ' re shivering. ' And I wasn ' t at all, it was just a thrill. Just a few days previous to the foregoing Miss Baker was busily en- gaged writing. Some other girls in the room were talking about her fellow. Such a flirt! and a different girl every night! Ann looked up and said, I don ' t feel very good this morning. Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Hen Eccles was all dated up with a Freshman. They were seated in a porch swing that had no back. Hen slipped his arm around her shoulders and told her not to fear, that he, Hen, would be her support. She let it remain for a minute or so, then clasping his manly chin in her dainty paw, she pulled it down close to her ruby lips and gently murmured, I don ' t think we ought to do this, Hen.

Harold Ashton Staat Editor Entered at the Post Augur as First Class Rubbish flusic Notes Editorials We wish to heartily recommend the idea, brought up some time ago by Miss Grace Post of the senior class of the College of Liberal Arts, of getting class pins. Our High School back home, of which we have the honor to be a alum- nae, had class pins. It seems very strange that this custom has not been introduced here and we wish through the medium of the Gazoot to heart- ily second Miss Post ' s motion. This paper always has and always will stand for progress even though others may knock. We are for class pins. We hope that as many as can, of our sub- scribers, will pay up their subscriptions. Our pants is getting out at the seat and we need a new pair of galluses. Call around any time. Patronize our advertisers. Since the boys ' and girls ' glee clubs has had their con- certs the fashionable music events of the year has some- what subsided. We were not supplied with enough complimentary tickets then or we would have been more lenient to those concerned. It is always a mistake to overlook the critic on the Gazoot in reference to the requisite number of paste- boards. If those who are in charge of the colledge of musick will kindly look after this matter with m ore promptness in the future we will show them our heart is in the right place. There is not much stirring in Musical America this week. We are looking forward to the commencement reci- tals with smoked specs. All are urged to attend. Bring your smelling salts. M.

If you are personally familiar with it you know. But there is something here beside fine merchan- dise, something more important than the fact that we sell such merchandise at very moderate prices consid- ering the quality. It is this, something more, that you will like, you will find it quite unique in business; a spirit of service to the public. The goods are bought and sold in that spirit; the doors of the store are thrown open to you in that spirit. The expert store force offers its help and co-operation to you in that spirit; even the prices are fixed to give you the most liberal values possible. We invite you to come and see, make a general inspection, act as if you felt at home, look any where, ask about anything we ha ve; take as much time as you care to take. We will not urge you to buy, your wishes in that matter are ours. If you ' d like to take or send anything home for more careful examination before deciding, we will send them and if you have paid and decide you don ' t want the goods or are not wholly satisfied with them, you can have your money back any time. xv y fhhena MASONIC R.
