D. ...,...... 1904-05 OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY was founded under the pat- ronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1841. It became a College of Liberal Arts under President Thomson in 1844. In 1877 the Ohio Wesleyan Female College was absorbed and co- education established. The School of Music and the School of Fine Arts were also established in 1877. The Department of Oratory was instituted in 1894. One year later, in 1895, the School of Business was organized. Ohio Wesleyan has a Gymnasium that cost seventy-five thousand dollars and is considered by many the best in the State. Slocum Library contains more than sixty-five thousand bound volumes besides the periodicals. The growth of the Library averages two thousand volumes a year. One-half the cost of educating every student is borne by the University. Including all departments and all assistants, the faculty numbers over one hundred and fifty. Bulgaria, Canada, Chili, China, Ecuador, Hawaii, Japan and Syria are some of the foreign countries represented by students attending O. W. U. The students this year number over twelve hundred. .

This we have en- deavored to do in such a way as to make the book of interest alike to the present student and the Old Grad thirty years hence. Any failures to measure up to this standard we commit to the magnanimity of our readers. Realizing that the faculty is not only the most interesting but also the most important element in the University we have attributed to them a high position. Character sketches made up of facts and near-facts accompany the photos of seniors. These are purposed to give at least a hint of the true character and worth of ea-ch individual. Those few extremely modest ones who have failed to submit their solios we have endeavored to treat kindly and break the news of their graduation to the outside world so gently as not to bring the rosy tint of embarrassment to their modest countenance. If their classmates in years to come cannot herein find the likeness of their faces they may at least be enabled to get a glimpse of their character. The definite department of the book contains a representation of those contests and activities which tend to incite vigorous intellectual effort: follow- ing this may be noticed the various Christian organizations and enterprises: in the social department we have tried to find a place for all those organizations which contribute to the maintenance of the high standard of social entertainment and activity at O. W. U.: the athletic department is intended to show Ohio Wesleyan in the field of physical training, both class work and contests. No little part of the service of a college education lies in the fact that it points out one's faults and peculiarities. The last department of this book is intended to render this valuable service. If you have not been especially favored in this Held, we beg that you will bear with us. It is impossible to extend this valuable service to all individually, yet we have hoped to serve all in especially favoring the few. 16 VY .

The excellent teachers employed exercise no small influence in helping this artistic spirit to develop. They have been so successful in their efforts that they have reason to be proud of the showing made by this department of the University in recent years. The work in the school includes courses which have been the means for acquiring for serious students good positions as teachers in drawing, design- ing, water color and oil painting, either in Colleges, Public or Art Schools, or as designers for various products of manufacture, such as stained glass, win- dows, silks, damasks, wall-paper and book covers, or as craftsmen in jewelry and metals of all kinds. ' Again, even though a person does not wish to turn an art education into a practical means of making a livelihood, perhaps one can never be real artist. yet the student has gained a keener appreciation of nature, of the world's art treasurers, and a greater love for true art which is well worth striving to attain. - SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS SALLIE.

' 34 v it 99 - la V- Z-9121 ff M Lf The School of Music OHIO WESLEYAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC enters upon the year l9I2 with a very bright outlook for this growing department of the University, as it now has most complete equipments for practice and instruction in the art of music. The recent addition of the new Pilcher pipe organ for concerts, recitals and prac- tice purposes adds wonderfully to the facility of the organ department and is one of the finest organs in the city, containing, as it does, all modern devices and mechanism con- sistent with modern organ building. Sanborn Hall is one of the finest buildings of the University and has one of the most complete recital halls in the State. The school not only offers a thorough course in vocal and instrumental music, but has enlarged upon its course in theoretical work and demands from its graduates, under the new curriculum, extensive requirements in literary training, thus making the musical education given in the School most complete. The department has added to its corps of instructors during the past year and is steadily in-creasing in its enrollment. A thorough course of study is offered in all branches pertaining to instrumental, vocal and theory of music. An artist recital course is offered by the School giving its students the advantage of hearing some of the leading artists of America and the educational advantage of these recitals cannot be overestimated in a general and artistic musical training.

THIS department of the university is in fine condition and there was never a more wholesome spirit among its faculty and students. Though all the work offered is elective and an extra tuition is charged for most of it, the school has an attendance of more than one-fourth of the entire college enrollment. The above list shows the largest staff of teachers we have ever had in this department, but they are much overworked and cannot meet all the demands for private instruction. The School of Oratory offers eight courses in the undergraduate degrees and eight in the post-graduate degree, aggregating sixty-two hours, and it is interesting to know that all of these -courses have been taken by students this year. All the organizations directly connected with this department are active and reaching desired ends. The Debate and Oratory Council composed of six faculty members and ' ' S h h flllcaland eighteen student members from the upper Literary ocleties, as c arge o a o intercollegiate contests in debate and oratory, and the success of these contests has brought much honor and fame to the university. The Delta Sigma Rho, an honor fraternity composed of those who have participated in these intercollegiate contests. has a resident membership of twenty and a much larger roster of those who have graduated from our institution and are making successful use of their speaking powers in public life. The Histrionic Club, limited in membership to the faculty and students of the School of Ora- tory, was organized the first semester of this session and has recently given, most success- fully, its first play at the city opera house. The object of this club is to conserve that dramatic power found in our student body, to develop it for good uses and to direct it into wholesome channels. We believe that this new organization has a distinct and useful mission in our student life. The growing interest in the work of this department seems to suggest the wisdom of increasing its instructional force and providing more room for the school. Its scope and aim is indicated in the third and fourth clauses of the Articles of Incorporation granted in I894 by the State of Ohio. In this connection it might be interesting to publish them here: Thira'. The purpose for which said corporation is formed, is the instruction of students in physical culture, vocal culture, elocution, oratory, dramatic art. language, literature, history, logic, rhetoric, aesthetics, and all other associate branches of learning requisite to the development of mental powers and correct expression in public speaking. Fourth. The trustees of said School of Oratory shall have full power to elect, after the manner prescribed by their by-laws, provided said by-laws do not conflict with common f h S t f Ohio, a President, a Dean and a Faculty consist- law of the statute laws o t e ta e o ing of such Professors, Assistant Professors, Instructors and Lecturers as they may, at any time, deem necessary. It may be further stated than on June l8th, IS95, the Trustees of the Ohio Wes- leyan University elected the School of Oratory as a Department of the University, since which time instruction in language, literature, history, logic, rhetoric etc., has been given in the regular colleges classes and the School of Oratory courses have been planned to meet the demand along public speaking and expressional lines. ' We venture to hope that some wise philanthropist or many loyal alumni may help to endow the School of Oratory so that it may enter a wider field of service and attain more far-reaching results. 37 4 x .1 v' JE Qrjotfl' l r L K College Button One of the most admirable accomplishments of the Student Senate this year has been to secure the adoption of a college button. For some time both faculty and students have felt the need of some such means of recognizing that general fraternalism which marks a student as a member of the University, rather than of one or more of the various organi- zations existing in the student body. It was the first impression of the Senate that a design of the University colors would be advisable. But since the lack of contrast in the college colors would not admit of such a design, Capt. Carver of the Varsity Track Team drew up and presented the above design, which was adopted by the student body with scarcely a dissenting voice. This action of the student body working under the leadership of its executive head cannot be too highly appreciated. It not only places us on a par with other Universities in this respect, but also furnishes a simple and effective means of adding to the college spirit, which is already a distinguishing characteristic of Ohio Wesleyan, and of preserv- ing it in lasting remembrance among her alumni. 33 1111112111 ZBHDQQ YY W - ... 4 - 39 , , -.'-4-'rfi' , .'-I ! i . . . - .rfw 'fs-'-'--'f ' ' ,, , r V .11 PFI .'- N-qfj,-.f ., ,fg5:,-.-QJ4, 'u . .H-1.-...-v.. ul 1 .hy - - IS' JE 1Jor!l' r ' tx u The Student Senate.

Kahle, '15 FEW innovations in the established order of student life and activity are at first accorded their just measure of approbation and support. To this rule the Student Senate has been no exception. Its experimental stage has now passed, however, and today it is rightly honored and respected by the whole student body. This change of attitude toward it on the part of all has naturally resulted in greater power and efficiency because of the more enthusiastic support accorded it. Under the wise generalship of President Little it has proven an able executive head for the student body in all of its lines of activity. The Senate's success has added to it strength and the Faculty has shown its willingness to co-operate with it in all matters relating to student life. One of the most notable results of the untiring efforts of this body has been the building up and the crystallizing of true college spirit and enthusiasm which it has been able to bring about. Probably the most im- portant thing the Senate has accomplished this year is the adoption of a Col- lege button. The need of such a distinguishing button has long been felt and the Senate deserves only praise for its wise and considerate handling of the question. It has also established the Honor Court, which has proved highly successful and has been beneficial to the student body. With the high standard of efficiency it has already set and the increasing loyalty and support of every Wesleyan student behind it this organization is promising great things for the future. It has each year a larger place to fill in the life of the University and each year is finding it more able, more aggres- sive and more indispensable. , T. The Honor Court 1. OFFICERS D. F.

Neff, '15 THE Honor Court is a body of students elected in accordance with the provisions of the constitution of the Honor System adopted by the student body in the year 1910-191 1. The Court is composed of four Seniors, three Juniors, one Sophomore and one Freshman. It is the duty of the Court to try all persons accused before it of violating the Honor System in any way. In the Honor System, as in many other systems, the old adage holds good, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While the Honor Court is not busy all the time trying cases its very existence is an important factor in keeping scholastic dishonesty down to a minimum. The Honor System, in this its first year, has been very effective and the Honor Court has done its best to make it efficient. The system, itself, has been on trial this year, the verdict being that it has made good, and the sentence being that it shall ever be operative among the students of Ohio Wesleyan. 42 L 3 1 at 1, n gi if is if -3 l 97 '4 I M 'M L4 LASSES 'V r Eg LIE girjotfn W Class of I9l 2 EEFIIIIR H.

To give a complete account of the achievements of this most illustrious part of the student body, to mention the names of even half the famous men and women whose chapel seats are in the Senior section-'tis a task worthy of a Bigelow or a Green. Therefore, let us call the meeting to order at once, and announce most emphatically that this is not a history in any sense of the word. It is merely a birds-eye view of what future years will probably give in greater detail. We believe that it is customary in the best historical circles to begin at the beginning of things. Therefore--Chapter I-Freshman: What a flood of memories this name recalls: Prexy, realized the potential greatness of the class immediately and predicted it at the first faculty meeting. The class itself realized it too, and mentioned it shortly after the doxology in the second chapel. Later on in the year the athletes of Nineteen Hundred and Twelve proved the same thing true by capturing the football, basketball, and baseball championships. These same warriors again demonstrated their prowess by properly subduing the Freshmen the next fall. The splendid standard of those early days has been upheld through all the four years, and classes for years to come will gaze with envy upon the record of Nineteen Twelve. Socially, the class has been a decided success. Our receptions and par- ties have always been most original and our famous Pumpkin Show has long since been conceded to have outshown its original. lntellectually, we have shone also. We published the best BIJOU in years, and the Transcript has Hourished under the control of members of our class. The Jokes and Jesters rushed more systematically and strenuously than did Phi Beta Kappa this fall, and consequently succeeded in pledging more of our members than did the high-brow organization. However, most of our watches were stem-winders so it didn't make much difference anyway. Probably Phi Beta Kappa will profit by her experience and will make an extra effort in the spring to redeem her past failures. Politically-ah: who shall tell of the glory of the class in that line. Our class meetings have made congressional sessions blush with shame. Past histories have thrilled us with accounts of Webster and Hayne. Lincoln and Douglas, future writers will thunder the praises of Wiant and Scrimshaw, Smith and Bill Davies, and their never-to-be-forgotten football-sweater con- troversy. We have given Prexy Little to the Student Senate, and he has proved himself a gentleman and a scholar. Will we ever forget that glorious morning when the Freshmen showed their hats. Let other writers complete the history of the class in years to come. She has had a glorious past,-it goes without saying that the future will be even brighter. RUTH E. JACKSON. HELEN ADAMS, B. l...

To figure out the pos- sibilities of this bundle of non-mental mechanism is quite beyond our power. In fact, if it were not for the sacred word of Dr. Walker, we would question the existence of any abilities here at all. However, there must be something exceptional about a fellow who can spend live years at Ohio Wesleyan and never enter the portals of Monnett, stand three years of unbroken probation, and still excell all others in the time spent on the athletic field.

Wesleyan. 95 L J EQ LIE 1jotfl'E l'l History of the Class of I9I3 SURELY no class has ever possessed a subconscious region so rich in victorious experiences of the past as does this remarkable collection of highly developed selves. Thorough analysis of this subconscious realm brings into the focus of attention the mental, physical and aesthetic achievements which have made up the highly satisfactory record of the Class of l9l3. First to arise above the threshold of consciousness are the bright and shining land- marks of that Freshman year. The ignominious defeat of 1912 in the class rush and the Freshman-Sophomore debate, the winning of the 1909 football championship-ah, those were famous victories. Conquest had become a habit, victory a reflex act and the Sophomore year saw this banner class win another class rush and another debate. The girls, too, rallied round the maroon and white and added the basketball championship of the feminine crew of 0. W. U. to the honor and glory of this famous class. Even Soph History could not defeat them. They rose out of the physical into the perceptual and ideational basis of self. Debonairly they advanced upon Psych. They came, they saw, they conquered. And when the fray was over did not the Oracle speak and declare of this consum- mation of growing intelligence that of all the Junior classes which he had piloted through Psych during the past decade, this one is the star? Then Recker and Neff and all the other aspirants for the Phi Beta Kappa honors of next fall were seen to quake in their several boots and to grasp wildly at the fading vision. Of the infinite number of sharks which these sage re- marks proved to be in existence who will be the lucky seven? All the dis- comfort of a riled coenesthesia came sweeping over the intellectual giants but, by means of great volitional power, all selfish emotions were inhibited and in their place rose a mighty pride in the prowess of l9l3. It is a pride which all should feel. In athletics, debates, and yea, verily in long tete-a-tetes has not the Class of I9l3 proved itself worthy of a high place in Wesleyan's annals? In proof of its originality we cite the flag won on Washington's Birthday last by one of the cleverest stunts of recent years. As another phase of its development of an all-around self we may point out the class cases for which l9I3 is noted. With such a record behind them what may we prophesy of the future before them. This much surely: That during the rest of their College course as well as throughout the years to come thereafter, the members of the Class of l9l3 will live up to the record they have established thus far and to the physical, perceptual and ideational principles of the ideal Wesleyan self.

IJ K History of the Class of I9I4 IN the fall of l9l0, without blast of bugle or beat of drum, there appeared at the portals of these famed halls of learning the class of Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen. Neither the seismograph in Prof. Westgate's sanc- tum nor the weather records of his Geology l sharks record any paroxysm of nature as an accompaniment of the event, yet it was a momentous day in the history of Ohio Wesleyan. With characteristic modesty the class refrained from assuming with undue haste its lofty position as the greatest ever, but gracefully yielded the palm to 'I3 in the rush of l9l0 and also in the inter-class debate of the same year. All the requirements of a good breeding having then been met, it claimed for its own the class baseball championship in the spring. 'Twas not, however, until the halcyon days of September, Anno Domini, l9l l, that the greatness of the class became apparent to the college body as a whole. Working under the new and expurgated set of rules evolved by the Student Senate, the innocent neophytes of the Freshman Class were prop- erly impressed with the humility of their position in the annual rush. This duty having been executed with singular vigor and despatch, 'Fourteen re- solved itself into a committee of the whole to carry on the various activities of the college. Among its celebrities it now numbered Johnson, Myers, Schlabach. Semans, Geyer, Clinger, Martin, Slavens, TouVelle and Chesel- dine, of the football squadg Wright, Welaber, Higgins, Olds and Eifort, of the basketball team, and Bobo, Beckett, Johnson, Borrer, Coe, Eyman, Duckwall, Kingsbury, Baker, Green and Brown, of the track squad. Daw- son, Smith, Speece, Lickert, Elliot, I-leminger and Martin uphold our colors on theTranscript staff. But this sketch is not intended for a catalogue of names. Look over the list for yourself and you'll understand who's who. The Sophomore Class now occupies a superior position in the life of Ohio Wesleyan. The Freshmen have been reduced to the proper degree of respect and awe: the glory of the Junior Class has been eclipsed by our greater attainments, and the dignity of the Senior does not yet weigh down our care-free souls. We have successfully completed half of our College course, and, with the experience gained through past failures and triumphs to guide us, we are confident that the record of the future will not be less glorious than the history of the past. l-l.

Ijotffjlll ' t uf History of the Class of l9l 5 ALTHOUGH the history of the Class of I9I5, covering as it does the course of but a few months, is naturally somewhat brief, it is set sufficiently to show us thatethe Freshmen are to be reckoned with in the future. From the very beginning of their venture upon the turbulent waters of College life, they struck out boldly and successfully fas many a Soph is able to testifyl. The lirst week was spent mainly in getting on their feet, both figuratively and literally, and life was indeed a series of ups and clowns. On the eventful September 30 the Sophs, by means of brigand autos and superiority of mere numbers, were able to win the track meet and flag rush, but when there came a test of genuine strength, man to man, in the tug-of-war, a certain group of gentlemen were forced to pollute the classic Olentangy, and these gentlemen were not Freshmen. Upon the termination of these desultory skirmishes, the class settled down to real work, and soon developed a certain aggressive habit,-whatever there was to do, they did with a will, and did it right. This spirit was very early manifested in the ability of the class to choose its ofhcers, and in the vim with which they outclassed the three other bodies in giving their yells in chapel. In football they won the championship over the Varsity scrubs, alias Sophomores, while in basketball, in spite of a series of discouraging mis- haps, they furnished some pretty lively practice for the Varsity, easily winning the class championship. In track, too, they defeated the Sophomores, and broke two O. W. U. records. In social activities also the Class of 'l5 was not slow, to say the least. Their corps of fussers and sem-rushers, ably led by one Guss, stand ever at the front. The memorable reception in Edwards Gymnasium, chaperoned to the bitter chagrin of the Seniors, by Mrs. Newberry, was a hit of the season. We may someday forget our grade in Freshman Trig.-would that we could--but who can ever forget that exciting Freshman party, and the many delightful hours spent in the preparation thereof? In the class room also the habit of getting there has characterized the class as a whole, and won the respect of the faculty. Another memento of the Freshman year is the Freshman hat which the class has introduced into the life of Ohio Wesleyan, and of which, it is rumored, many upper class- men are quite jealous. And thus we have seen the Class of 'I5 spring from a position of dim obscurity to one of strength and force in the University, and have watched its faintly glowing spirit blaze into an undying loyalty to class and school. Its short past has indeed been illustrious and honorableg its far-reaching future teems with promise and hope. Here is to the Class of l9l5, and may she ever set the pace. A.

The treasury, when last heard of, contained thirteen cents, one lead nickel, two buckeyes, a button, three horseshoe nails, a woolly worm and a caterpillar. The reason for this strait- ened financial condition is thoughtless extravagance. The innocent youngsters have spent their pennies for licorice, chewing gum, peanuts, popcorn and striped sticks of candy. Furthermore, it was rumored that Tommy, Joseph and Claude went to the theater but later information showed they had only attended the Superba. Papa Edwards is very much grieved over conditions and says he has done all in his power to fill the treasury by confiscating mar- bles, Barlow knives and bean blowers, and has admonished the dear children against extravagance. We are sincerely sorry for him and hope that the .readers of next year's BIJOU may see the youngsters' vacant countenances.

If there is to be any kind of an aristocracy, an instinct which seems inherent in the very nature of Society, surely one based upon intellect is most logical. As maintaining the highest ideals of intellect and morality, this honorary society cannot have otherwise than a very salutory effect upon so- ciety. and is an inspiration to all who are privileged to be its members. The Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded December 5, l776, at William and Mary College. in Virginia. It was the first of college fraternities, but during the anti- Masonic agitation early in the nineteenth century. it lost its secret character and became an honorary organization. It is a Philosophical Society as distinguished from Sigma Chi. the Scientific Society. There are seventy-seven chapters in the best colleges and univer- sities in the country, nine being in Ohio. The requirements for membership are residence study at the University for not less than two years, full senior rank, high honors to date in scholarship, and irreproachable moral character. Not more than seven members of the senior class may be chosen at the Fall election. in October. Not more than enough to total one-eighth of the class are eligible for the election in June. Five unfavorable ballots from members of the Chapter rendered any candidate ineligible. In the November election, the following members of the class of l9l2 were taken in: Georgias Garster, Raymond R. Hall, Gertrude E.. Mar- shall and Stanley W. Wiant. There is a possibility of a large number being elected in June, since the Senior Class numbers nearly one hundred and sixty. There are three open meetings of the Society each year. The first of these meet- ings for the current year occurred in December. when Prof. E. l-larry, of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati. gave an illustrated presentation of the Agamemnon of Aeschylus. In February, Prof. Edwin A. Grosvenor of Amherst College, President of the United Societies of Phi Beta Kappa. gave an address on The American College Student. The final address will be given some time in April, by Prof. Soper. who will discuss the relation of Missions to the Curriculum. 115 Pi-62 LIE IL7'O'dn' ,' v' Y x tj The Philosophical Club Top row from left to right--Betty Patton, A.

Williamson Some years ago, there was organized at Ohio Wesleyan University, a Philosoph- ical Club, for the purpose of supplementing the work done in philosophy in the regular curriculum. In this way, opportunity was given for free and more adequate discussion of the questions arising in connection with the class room work and problems which were demanding thought and attention. For a few years the organization was abandoned, but last year it great success. Through papers, talks and informal discussions, the Philosophical Club aim to cultivate the habit of independent thinking sound, rational and workable basis for their philosophy of life. l'T the philosophical was revived with members of the and to secure a FHL Ijotff' ' ' L u Delta Sigma Rho THE object of Delta Sigma Rho is to encourage sincere and effective public speaking. In order that it may do so it must influence not only the mind. but the char- acter of the collegian as effective public speaking is imppossible without literary, scientific and moral training. It must teach both high standards of oratory and of conduct and purpose, for great oratory is the product of great men. It must be both an incentive for conscientious endeavor and a reward for victorious effort. The importance and inevit- able influence of an organization with such a purpose and such a horizon needs no ex- ploitation, but is attested by its rapid but conservative growth. The society was organized at Chicago, April I3, l906 by representatives from eight of the leading colleges of the Middle West. Ohio Wesleyan was granted a chapter in I907, being the only successful applicant out of twenty-three colleges. The chapter roll at the present time numbers thirty-five. The official publication of the soci- ety, The Gavel, is published four times during the year from St. Paul, Minn. In l9l3 the biennial National Convention will be held in Columbus and enter- tained jointly by the Ohio State and Ohio Wesleyan Chapters.

On Friday night, january I9, we met our dearest foe on Gray Chapel platform. Oberlin had picked from her 2,000 students warriors to send against Wesleyan. They came: Fifield, Stowell, Culick and Hall. Against them we arrayed Stub Sisson, the invincible light infantry, fthe smoke of whose campfire can be seen most any night at Billy Howald'sJ, H. G. Hageman, the famous storming dragoon, Cwho preaches the art of offensive warfare at Faith M. E. Churchl, and Gaius Slosser, heavy artillery man, and clever turner of points, of dashing bravery and triecl ability. All Wesleyan turned out to bet her last dollar on The Team. The pit was a full, roaring mass. In the .gallery the colors waved in many a crimson sash and ebony skirtg for 500 of lVlonnett's fair lasses had actually given up their dates in order that the unmarred aesthetic beauty of the upper story might be a source of inspiration to Wesleyan's com- batants. With all this enthusiasm and sacrifice, The Team could not but win. When the light infantry had charged, the commander of the Oberlin division said, A magnificent charge. When the dragoon drew sabre and stormed the enemy's position, they re- treated precipitately to a new position. Here they made their last stand. For ten minutes, then, the heavy artillery crashed and shrieked with telling effect. Napoleon Fifield roused his shattered forces for a final charge. Into his ranks crashed in quick succession the three divisions of our army, and the field was unanimously won. When shall their glory fade? ' Honor the charge they made, Three valiant warriors. 122 .J gl v D 4- 1 l l I l l 1 ,L +- Q- E + i . H2915 P? t Lf RESERVE TEAM WESLEYAN vs. WESTERN RESERVE With all the confidence and enthusiasm, which the brave little band of supporters gathered at the depot could inspire, the team left for Reserve to defend a proposition in which each member heartily believed. On the way to Clevland there was some specu- lation, not entirely flattering to our opponents, we confess, regarding the treatment we were likely to receive. Happily, all such forebodings were dispelled, for never did a team enter the enemy's camp with more cordial reception or leave it with a more generous feeling toward its opponents. Every courtesy was shown by the Reserve team. The crowd was not large nor the spirit anything to be compared with that at Wes- leyan, but all present showed equal appreciation of home team and visitors. Prof. Elbert J. Benton acted as presiding judge. The -judges of the contest were all attorneys, Mr. James C. Laurence, of Akron, Mr. Roy l l. Williams, of Sandusky. and Mr. D. E.. Morgan, of Cleveland. Tho defeated, according to the decision of three men, we are not conquered. With pleasant memories of those who halved our sorrow in defeat, as indeed they would have doubled our joy had we been victors, we are ready to enter the contest next year with increased enthusiasm and determination. 123 LIE BIJOUT' l DENISON TEAM WESLEYAN vs. D1zNisoN The second debate of the I9I2 season held in Gray Chapel occurred on Feb- ruary 9. Elated by her unanimous decision of last year, which put her on an equality with us, Denison came here ready to win. The debate was hotly contested, but victory, for a time in doubt because of the irresistibly humorous cloouence of the Mr. Shayer, Finally rested with Wesleyan by a two to one decision. The victory was, however clean cut, one of the judges, as Prof. Marshman said, allowing himself to be captured by the Scotchman. Dawson's statesmanlike address, Flickingefs clear and popular exposition, and Geesey's steady logic formed an irresistable combination and sustained our unbroken list of victories on our home Hoor. Owing to the extreme cold the celebration was held in Gray Chapel. The members of the Wesleyan team, including the learned alternate, lVlr.kSpeece, we all heard from and the disconsolate Denison team were called on for re- mar s. The judges were: Edward L. Weinland, City Solicitor of Columbus, L. Davis, Asst. City Solicitor of Columbus, and Judge M. Sheets, Ex-Attorney General of Ohio. Rev. Stephen K. Mahon presided over the debate. V. 29122 ff r M U MIAMI TEAM WESLEYAN vs. Mmivu MIAMI DEBATE Because of Miami's unusual strength in debate this year and because this is the first season Wesleyan has met her new forensic foe, the battle with the down-staters was considered one of the most important. Five years of unbroken defeats on foreign plat- forms and constant victories on home floors, together with the past defeats in Ohio of the affirmative side of the Recall question, made the first trip to Maimi look black to friends of Wesleyan. Things looked no brighter when the news came that Miami was placing against us the strongest team she ever produced, including one of her Forty- year-old college youngsters. However, the chosen team consisting entirely of Upper-classmen: McClelland. Young, Roberts. and Jones, alternate, met Miami on February 9, with a lighting spirit that gave the southern school a taste of real debating, and caused one judge to muster courage to vote against the atmosphere created by Miami supporters. The concise and forceful statements of McClelland, the cool reasoning of Young, and the fiery logic of Roberts formed a combination which did great credit to Wesleyan, and delighted Coach Fulton, who accompanied the team to Oxford. The wit, mentality, and ability of the personnel of the team was much in evidence at the Chapel Rally held on February 8, which gave the team a glorious send-off, and spurred every man to his best.

Their aim and purpose is such that they will ever attract students who seriously desire improvement in this direction. The annual Fight for the greatest representation on the intercolliegate debating teams and oratorical con- test adds much to the maintenance of a lively and active interest in the societies. These organizations contribute to the development of accuracy of expression, clear, precise. and logical thought, and a convincing and attractive manner of speech. Train- ing in the literary society prepares the student to meet the practical demand for original- ity and self-expression. The effectiveness of this function of the organization will not be questioned when we 'call to mind the thousand of our alumni who reflect with apprecia- tion and satisfaction upon the training received in the literary society halls at Ohio Wes- leyan. The literary societies 'play a very pleasant part in the social life of their members. The activity of the society is not, as is generally supposed, confined to the rendition of stereotyped programs. But the element of entertainment is maintained in the nature of musical numbers, readings, and a general indulgence in the college songs. Out of the appreciation of similar ideals and the mutual helpfulness in attaining these ideals grow some of the choicest friendships of college life., The contribution to general culture together with the social element and possibility of lasting friendships make the societies a highly important factor in the life of the Ohio Wesleyan student. The achievements of the past and the increasing interest of the present point to even a greater future. 130 n v M Q' . ,A 5912, , f Y N Lf Zetagathean Literary Society OFFICERS lsr SEMESTER ZND SEMESTER President E.

Zeta, always the oldest society in Wesleyan, has in a startling manner become the newest. Her old rivals, this year, were made to realize her power and feel the keenness of competition as in the good old days. Sixty-seven years tell the story of Zeta's stability and enduring qualities. With the coming of more organizations, and the increased interest in many other phases of college life, Zeta's literary interests have not suffered. Seek-- ing to give her members a social life as well as literary culture, and always encouraging all college enterprise and activity, Zeta is proud to find many of her men prominent not only on the public platform, but in athletics and other pursuits which appeal to the all-around college man. Zeta's men have in a very marked degree made good, not only in college, but in life. The present membership is not lacking in present or potential abil- ity. The Varsity Debate squad this year needed eight of our men, and five of these, H. G. Hageman, E. A. Roberts, M. R. Shaw, R. W. Smith, B. F. Young were elected to Delta Sigma Rho. In Oratory and Inter-Class contests Zeta has also been conspicuous. Her present position gives reality to the splendid aspiration of her motto: Esse quam videri. 134 7 V.. 29122 PI Ll r Amphictyonian Literary Society FOUNDED 1885 MOTTO: Ad Summam Nitamurf' COLORS: Red and White.

Of last years forty-six members, twenty- two had dropped out principally by graduation. It was necessary for quality to make up for quantity if we were to get a good start. The Seniors of last year in Amphic left places hard to fill. Ten of the twelve Varsity debaters had been chosen from Amphic. These included the entire team debating against Syracuse. We also furnished the winner of the oratorical contest. We had many things, however, in our favor. First, a hall superior to all the Liter- ary Soicety Halls, according to the report of an investigating committee of one of our sisters' societies across the way. Second, we had a grand motto staring us in the face,-- Ad Summam Nitamurf' Third, we had a noble set of leaders, combining those essen- tial qualities of knowing how and being willing. What have we done? A scanning of the list of members will reveal names familiar in all lines of college activities. We had at least one representative on each of the Var- sity debate teams: not only that, but when the time came to choose captains of the four teams, the training in Amphic gave three of these places to our men. Slosser of the Ober- lin team, Geesey of the Denison, and Swink of the Reserve team proved that Amphic still supplies the leaders. The two college classes selecting literary society men for their Presidents came to Amphic for them, these being Border of the Sophomores and Geesey of the Juniors. The President of the Oratory Council, Slosser, is a member of Amphic- tyonian, as is the President of the Senior Lecture Course Committee, Dorsey. The Junior class chose Swink as its Washington's Birthday Banquet speaker. So we need not go into the far past to find reasons for lauding old Amphictyonian, tempting as that past is. Neither would we have you believe we subserve everything to the winner of honors. A visit to Amphic's Hall will show you that we have well-bal- anced, helpful programs and that is the true object of a literary society. We make no predictions for the future, but simply assure you that Amphic will always maintain its position of leadership. In consideration of the above, are we not justified in giving the modernized version of our motto P- Pike's Peak or bust! Pike's Peak or bust! ' Amphic! Amphic! Win we must!! -W. M. Gross.

Although Chres- tomathean is living her sixty-sixth year she is gaining in literary strength and social vitality. Chresto is ever pulling at the string which raises her banner higher. Chrestomathean's aim is of a two-fold nature. First, a high standard of literary work is the only kind which her hall welcomes. Indeed her quality of work is such that men fear to attempt their part of the program without sufficient preparation. Secondly. Chresto never fails to enjoy the social side of her literary spirit. It is this Chrestoma- thean fraternal spirit which inspires every man to his best. It is this spirit so keenly felt in Chresto Hall which is responsible for our full house when one would scarcely expect a quorum. The men of this society are genuine. Among them are: debaters, Delta Sigma Rho, and Phi Beta Kappa men, readers, orators and musicians, Bijou and Transcript men, some of the best athletes and Greek letter men in the school, quartette and Glee Club men. A large percent of Chresto men are leaders in college activities. With such an aim and such men we need scarcely to add that our condition is excellent, and the promise of Chresto's future is full of inspiration. 142 Athenian Literary Society Founded 185i MOTTOI TO KAAON KATEXETE!

HISTORY SINCE the organization of the Athenian Literary Society, sixty-one years ago, several hundred sons of Ohio Wesleyan have shared, for a time in its activities and then passed on to try their abilities in the real battles of Iife. To many of these Athenians, success has come and we might well relate the eminence and achievement which have rewarded their efforts. But it is rather our purpose here to acknowledge the benefits which Athenian continues to confer upon its members and to proclaim the spirit which we hope to hand on to the future. Uplifting fellowship and a spirit of mutual helpfulness united with effecient literary training, as found in Athenian, are advantages which. as means to culture and efficiency, will ever be of highest importance. We believe their perpetuation to be an object most worthy of our efforts, for, as Webster has said: If we work upon marble, it will perish: if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust: but if we work upon immortal souls, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten all eternity.

The programs rendered each week are of a superb order and marked by a great deal of sprit. Though there has been but one inter-society debate this year, Calo-Philo carried off the honors, with the unanimous decision of the judges. The membership at the present time compares favorably with that of any previous year, and the outlook for more and greater victories is exceptionally bright.

Bartlett HISTORY IT was in the year l866 that a number of earnest, energetic and wide-awake young men met together to form the first Preparatory Literary Society in the Ohio Wesleyan University. the need of which had long been felt. During all this time she has main-- tamed an active existence, supplying a very important demand for literary training among the lower classmen. There has always been warm fellowship among her members and an encouragement for a spirit of honest endeavor. Meletarian has a very bright history and has won many victories with her family of enthusiastic and earnest workers. In the year l889 the Academy of the Ohio Wesleyan University, realizing the great need of another literary society, organized the University Lyceum Literary Society. During all these suc-cessful years she has been characterized by the loyal and devoted spirit of her members and her history is full of honor and achievement. Her ambition has always been to gain the highest step on the stairs of advancement. Thanks to Pro- fessor C-rove for the dear old name, to Professor Clara Conklin for our motto, Not Who, But What, which has always been the thought of her members. That her men have done good work is shown by the laurels they have won. But all things have an end. After all these years of success, on january 5, l9l2,. by consent of the faculty, University Lyceum and Meletarian joined under a new name, motto and constitution. On account of the great decrease of students in the Academy' it was found impracticable to maintain three preparatory societies. It is sad to know that these two cherished names shall no longer ring in our ears, but as one united force, we shall move on with multiplied zeal and strength. Professor D. L. Edwards has sug- gested the very appropriate name of Meletarian-Lyceum for the union. The society is to be known popularly as the Melecium Literary Society. Lyceum and Meletarian are dead but not forgotten. Inspired by the success of the past, the members of Mele- cium work toward a bright and prosperous future. It is hoped that by this co-operation of force a greater efficiency will be obtained in both truth and knowledge. Dilgently we are improving the present. Judging the future by the present and past we cherish fondest hopes that this united force, so full of vigor and life, may fill a sphere of useful- ness of benefits in affording a good literary drill and training, and, better and grander than all else, be a power in developing manhood and manliness. 147 IF LIE rjorfn -' 2 ls Meleceum Literary Society Top row, left to right--C.

HISTORICAL PHILOMATHEAN Literary Society was organized to afford further literary advantages to those women students who were ineligible to membership in the upper societies because of freshman or lower rank. The plan of organization, recommended by the upper societies in the fall of I9I0, was adopted and a promising society was im- mediately and firmly established. During her brief existence, Philomathean has performed the functions of a preparatory society splendidly, enthusing her members with a literary spirit and equipping them for efficiency in the larger activity of the upper societies. 162 PHILOMATI-IEAN 2 I: iv' rjottl' Aletbian IVIOTTO: Labor omnia vincit President ..........

The Hlmprovementii of Anne fTl1is story was awarded first prize in the Short Story Contesij l ,A ' ' NNE straightened up cautiously and pretented to readjust the folded coat on which her head had been resting Across the back of the fuzzy seat JV, she peeped with blank and sleepy eyes IH the direction of the voice whlc 24' 0? had roused her from a drowsy contemplation of flying brown fields and . x 1 6 P X . . . . . u . . h wi udesolate Ohio It was a nice voice, but'it had said something about the college girl in a tone that held Just a little sarcasm and contempt. So, although it was such a nice voice-cultured and deep and resonant-Anne's eyes. behind the innocent blankness which was intended to hide her curiosity, were inclined to show resentment. However, nothing but a barricade of newspapers, held by two brown hands, met the elaborate indifference of her gaze. She was rather glad to have it so- it is rather unconventional to turn around and deliberately survey a stranger even though 'one may do it as Anne did with all the deceptive accompaniments of heaven-blue eyes and a gaze most artfully artless. So, a little disappointed and yet a little relieved withal. .she subsided and resumed her counting of red wind-mills and dilapidated straw-stacks. -quite ridiculous -the voice behind her had again raised. .The rustling crackle of the newspaper as the speaker folded it drowned the next remark and when his voice was again audible Anne found herself unconsciously listening to what he was saying. Involuntarily she lifted her head a little from her folded coat for he was talking quickly and earnestly and, evidently, still on the subject of thc college girl. - four years! For what? For a good slang vocabulary: for a certain dashing -style--she is a splendid dresser- How sweet of him. thought Anne. -- and self-possession-there isn't a one of them who doesn't consider herself mistress of all she surveys. She says she is in advance of the times!- He waxes oratorical. I'll bet he's a lawyer, from Anne. -In reality she is far behind her grandmother in what I call real culture. Now don't get excited-- 170 T. or l I i 1 1 l l l x t i r' 'f V.. 29125 P7 M Ll Anne started, but he was speaking to his companion and her eavesdropping was as yet undiscovered. -- I know Cornelia is an exception. But you won't find a college girl in a hun- dred who can, or, if you will have it so, will talk of anything but fudge, athletics and 'the fellows.' If she knows anything about books she succeeds exceedingly well in con- cealing the fact. Also- Well- the voice that interrupted was drawlingly soft and slow and Anne could hear very little of what it said. The word energy caught her ear, however, before the voice burst forth in an excited retort. EnergyP Yes, but for what? For scholarship, supposed to be the chief end of a college course? Not in a thousand years! It goes for yelling their lungs out at a basketball tournament- Anne's eyes sparkled as she thought of that last gorgeous victory and the megaphone and-but the voice was still on duty- or for strumming on a guitar -Anne gasped. Eavesclroppers, etc., she murmured- or for the at- tendance of every sideshow of college affairs. She sat quite erect at that sallied her eves round with startled surprise, her' cheeks Haming. Welll she ejaculated and thought of her newest poster, a gorgeous affair in yellows, greens and blues with inflaming crimson letters across the foot. Don't let your studies interfere with your college course! Her artistic taste runs to green posters- Anne's wrath rose to defiant heights and her literary favorites are lVlcCutcheon and Chambers. Wonder if she thinks life will be all yelling and singing and-- Anne heard no more. She was thoroughly indignant now and what made things worse, utterly helpless in her wrath. She would have liked to box that impertinent man's ears, but of course that was childish and quite out of the question. She wished she knew him. At least she would have a look at him. One never knows-perhaps some day she might meet him-and her eyes narrowed with a look as cruel and hard as eyes very big and blue could conjure up. She sat up very straight adjusted her hair with a few superfluous pats intended to show off her Ohio Wesleyan ring to the best advantage, shifted her Clionian and seal pin to more prominent positions and rose to take her hat-bag from the rack above her head. Anne knew she could not reach that rack. But she stood on tip toe and measured its distance dubiously and a little wistfully. The ruse worked. Allow me. It was the voice. Anne looked up and decided, much against her will, that the face was quite as nice as the voice. The eyes were level and straight- forward with an earnest little frown between the heavy black brows. It was the face of a clear and steady thinker, conservative and calm. Anne thanked him in a tone not half as icy as she had intended and sat down abruptly. The conversation behind her went on in lowered tones, and Anne was glad to have it so for she, as the proverbial eavesdropper, had heard quite enough. Her indignation was fast giving way to bewilderment and she wanted to think. If she could read char- 171 i nv' i -S- V' LIE IJO ' ' 'Q x L1 acter by facial attributes--and what young person does not Hatter herself that she can? -this man was not one of hasty conclusions. Perhaps-Anne leaned her cheek upon her hand and gazed mournfully out at the smoke-screened landscape--perhaps he was right. Here she was, at the beginning of her last semester of college life. She had been in Ohio Wesleyan for almost four years-for what? Unconsciously her mind was repeat- ing the exact words the voice had used. Did she know as much of books and all that goes to make a scholar as she should, and--again she went back to the words she had just heard-did she not try to conceal what little she did know? The train stopped at London and a man boarded it. He came down the aisle straight toward Anne, his eyes scanning the car for someone until they fell upon the occupants of the seat behind her. Here was whom he was looking for. He hurried past and to the utter destruction of Anne's last hope, addressed the owner of the voice as Professor. That settled it and the rest of the way to Delaware Anne spent in some very earnest thinking. With her brown-gloved hands clenched tightly in her lap, her brows pulled together in a little frown and her lips quite seriously straight, with even a slight inclination toward a downward droop, she tried to answer what this man had said. She did yell at that tournament and she would like to yell at all of them if the dean would permit it. She did pride herself on her collection of posters and pennants. And she did make it a point to yawn openly when Browning was quoted or Kant was discussed. Not exactly that she was not interested in these subjects, but she was afraid of giving someone the impression that she was a shark or a grind or something equally obnoxious. When the train pulled into Delaware and Anne alighted she thought with a delight- ful little thrill of importance that she was facing a new era in her life, or in her college life, at least. There was a rapt expression in her eyes and she quite ignored the little group of girls at the end of the platform. She was deep in the precarious depths of a decision as to what should be the first step in her proposed improvement, when a laughing voice called after her: Anne, oh, Anne! Hey, you! Merciless teasing met her as she turned to face her three suitemates whom she had absently passed by. What's up, me goil? laughed Marie. Is it that spring's coming and your fancy's lightly turning that you pass you best friends by? Our Anne-who would have thought it? moaned Dorothy and wept over Anne's prosaic well-worn suitcase. Oh, cut it out, said Anne, and then caught herself up, her cheeks reddening. To make amends for her backward step her tone was stiff and reserved as she added: I was thinking rather deeply, that's all. Dorothy gasped: Marie fell back a step and solemnly surveyed Anne from head to foot. Adoring little Marjorie looked up at her with troubled eyes. 172 -is 1 A 7. i. .L B . 29123 V r x Ll Aren't you well, dear? she asked as she hugged Anne's arm tighter. Anne groaned inwardly. She saw miles of breakers ahead, but with a delicious sensation of heroism and courage she answered gravely and sweetly that she was quite well, thank you, and would they mind going up to the Library with her, for a book? Marjorie's big brown eyes were very troubled as she trotted up the Library steps with Anne. She watched her silently as she pulled out drawer after drawer of the card catalogue and surveyed their contents with businesslike intelligence. Marjorie's awe knew no bounds when at last the young lady of compressed lips and pu-ckered forehead walked over to the desk and asked for Bowne's studies in Theism. Anne, for the first time in history, was going to read collateral! One evening, about a month later, Anne sailed into the dining-room and saw her name taken for a tardy mark without the flicker of an eyelid. Really it was such a waste of time to stand around ancl wait for the others to come down. This way she did not lose a second of the time that was so swiftly carrying her toward commencement. And there was so much to be accomplished before then. As she pulled her chair back and sat down a sudden silence fell upon the girls seated around the table. Anne did not notice it, but, absently unfolding her napkin, fell to raptly gazing into space. Come out of it, Anne, said Dorothy, after each of them had vouchsafecl a slammantory -to use the vocabulary of the-girl-who-would-be-witty-remark which had been utterly wasted as far as the subject thereof was concerned. And the-girl-who- would-be-witty added: Yes, do come out of it. just because you go in for color schemes you needn't carry it so far as watching a brown dress with a brown study. Anne looked up a little coldly. They didn't know of what a very important thing she had been thinking or they wouldn't even have smiled. And what they do know they try to conceal, rang in her ears. She looked around at the group, at impish-eyed Miriam, dimpling Marie, Lucile, plum, pretty and curly-haired, infantile Marjorie whose big brown eyes were alert for nothing as much as for chocolates and hand-embroidery and finally, Anne's pet abhorrence-since the days of her improvement-the-girl-who- would-be-witty, frivolous, laughing, empty-headed Evelyn Morrison. What a care-free bunch they were, thoughtless and happy and altogether jolly. Anne sighed. Once she, to, had been thus, but- What have you been reading all afternoon, Anne? asked Marie. I was in and out of your room three times and you wouldn't so much as answer a civil question. The table waited breathlessly for the reply. Anne's remarkable metamorphosis had been a nine-days' wonder to the Sem and still the mystery of the method in her madness had not been solved. UI? said Anne. Oh, I was reading an article on Catullus in the last Classical Philology. 173 V' JE IJOIW' ' x Lg lVlarie's eyebrows went up sharply. Dorothy looked at her plate and lVlarjorie's lips straightened dolefully. She wished she had stayed at her own table. Anne was terribly disappointing these days and it made things so uncomfortable. Just this morn- ing she had gently squelched her-Dorothy-for carrying her rubbers in contact with her l-lorace's Odes. Dorothy smiled as she tried to reconcile that remarkable speech of Anne's with some that had gone before in the good old days. Very interesting, said Anne, in reply to a teasing inquiry. That is, it is very enlightening. For a good idea of the times and environment of Catullus. Marie gazed steadily at Anne throughout the learned harangue that followed. At the end she waited until Anne had recovered her breath. Then she said, Yes? in a coldly polite drawl and turning abruptly to Dorothy asked if she ,didn't want to read the Cosmopolitan after supper. A queer little pang shot through Anne. Somehow things weren't going as they should, and more than that, they were growing worse all the time. She had known she would meet with discouragement at first and so she had been quite patiently martyr- like when the girls ridiculed what they called Anne's latest fad. Oli, don't ask Anne to go to a 'movey,' Marie had said. She's a grind, nothing more. Anne had only smiled and tried to convince the girls that even the occasional movey in which they indulged was a great waste of time. And life won't be all a moving picture show, she had said, wide-eyed and sol- emn. Life? Marie had retorted. We're living it now, woman! If not, what do you call this? mere existence? and with a l'lere's to existence! Long live the 'movey,' she triumphantly departed. Anne had smiled in a superior way, but she went back to Mysticism and Rabbinical Literature a little wearily. This was at first. Now things had come to such a pass that she was being left quite to herself. She sat forlornly alone that night and went over the whole situation. No doubt there was something wrong. As far as she could see the trouble lay in the attitude of the other girls--really they should not be so heedlessly unappreciative of the best things in life. That was it, of course: they had not had their awakening. It was very sad and she felt so young and helpless to cope with such difficulties. She stared hard and reprovingly at a frivolous Billikens grinning down at her and tried to straight- en out the tangled web of her ideas. They were a conglomerate lot the mess of new ones sadly confused with the old, and the pucker upon Anne's forehead threatened to become permanent. And Billikens smiled on. Anne had just thrown herself down in a tired and homesick heap among the cushions on tl'e coffin-box when with a quick little -rap and in answer to an impatient come. Destiny walked in. At least Anne called her Destiny, for as she said she was fated 174 B . M5912 'V t lJ to appear just at the crucial moment. And-what would have happened if she hadn't? In reality it was Miss McClurg, Anne's adored Math teacher. She came in with a childlike air of perplexity upon her usually serene countenance and, plumping herself down beside Anne held out a hopeless tangled bit of tatting. My dear, what is wrong with this? she almost wailed. I simply cannot do a thing with those tangly threads and that slippery shuttle. I've tried all evening and I'm sure I'll never learn and I'd rather know how to do tatting than 'most anything else. Anne looked her bewildered astonishment. Oh, it won't take you long and I'd just love to teach you but-er-don't you think it's a waste of time? One could do so many really improving things in the time one spends on fancy work and she went on a little hesitantly for you-well--oh, Miss McClurg, you know so much and can do so many things that are really worth while and it's just such a waste of time. -Her voice trailed ofl uncertainly before Miss McClurg's amused look. It did sound so queer coming from Anne. Miss McClurg did not reply for an intsant. Her eyes roved around the room and she wondered vaguely what was wrong with the general atmosphere. Anne's room had been so delightfully individual, so sort of scare-crowish, as one girl had put it, that she always loved to enter this breezy, hospitable domain. But now there was something gone. The curtains hung straight, severe and unadorned: posters and pennants there were none: those marvelous specimen's of Anne's skill in sign-collecting: the ragged teddy-bear, the guitar-all were gone. Miss McClurg's gaze came back to Anne who was bending over the tatting, her cheeks crimson with embarrassment and regret for her hasty and im- pertinent suggestion to the woman, whom of all women, she most admired. A waste of time? she said slowly. Well, you know, some time must be wasted in this world. Wouldn't we be an uninteresting lot if we never wasted any time? Anne reddened. Why, wasting time is the spice of life. She laughed as Anne looked up bewilderedly. Now don't quote me as having said that life is just one grand dissipation. You know what I mean-the perfect balance of work and recreation and so on. Oh, how nicely you do it, as she took the tatting from Anne's hands. l'm a little out of practice, said Anne. I havcn't done any fancy work all sem'- ester. Too busy? asked Miss M-cClurg. And don't you ever play your guitar any more? I don't see it. No-ot much hesitated Anne. Somehow it was hard to admit it under that gaze of good-natured amusement. I've been rather busy and- Oh, you mustn't let yourself get so busy as to shut out some of the more enjoyable things, interrupted Miss McClurg. The--more-enjoyable things? gasped Anne. Miss McClurg looked at fer curi- ously. What on earth had happened to the child? Then, as she noted the tired lines 175 ' .1 GQ LIE Ijorfn I1 l. about her eyes and mouth and the discouraged droop of her usually erect shoulders, she sobered instantly and leaning toward her said kindly- Now look here, Anne, you're getting some sort of a foolish notion into your head that's going to bother you if it hasn't done so already. Tell me all about it, won't you? Maybe I can help you. Anne was silent for a moment. Somehow her ideas seemed twisted and foolish now and perhaps Miss Mcclurg would laugh. But the dark eyes behind the scholarly-looking glasses were very soft and kind just now and the mouth was quite sweetly serious. So she began. She told of the Professor and his utterances on the train, of her sudden realization that she had sadly wasted her time in a lot of useless things-at her emphasis of the ad- jective Miss McClurg quickly dropped her eyes-of her resolution to spend this one re- maining semester in nothing but improving work and finally, with a courageous little lifting of her chin, the problem she was facing now-the choice between improvement and popularity. Miss McClurg looked at her thoughtfully for a moment after she had finished. It was the same old problem. She, too, had met with it in her college days, as does every college girl, sooner or later. Anne's difficulty lay in the fact that in the impetuous intens- ity of her nature, she had turned from what she had thought to be the frivolous extreme to the opposite extreme of work with the complete exclusion of recreation. It was just like Anne, bless her heart, was the older woman's mental comment. Aloud she said slowly, Well, I hardly know how to explain it to you but, my dear, you're going at your problem in quite the wrong way. Now, look here, Anne what do you call useless? Friendship and the harmless recreation that keep your temper sweet and your eyes bright? The little accomplishments that go to make a woman womanly and the wholesome hilarity that makes youth youthful? You're right about the value of books and your study of them, but, Anne-why, don't you see, my dear child, that life won't be all books any more than it will be all yelling and singing? It will be a queer and delightful mixture of just the elements you have met here in college. And, mark my word, although you will find that the training you have received from doing your best in your college work is going to be your foundation for efficiency, still the friendships and the happiness that come from these things that you call a waste of time will be the basis of that other side of character which the world calls the quality of being human. Am I making myself clear? Anne nodded. And do you see that what you need to do is to strive for 'the perfect balance' and guard against veering too much to one side or the other? It's the old, old question. Each stu- dent must solve it for herself and the only way to do it is to thoughtfully decide just what, at every fork of the road, will give her that most suited to her needs. She leaned back and laughingly took a long breath. My, I feel like a preacher, she said. Anne laughed too-it was easy to laugh with Miss McClurg-but her eyes were very thoughtful and, after the teacher had gone, as delighted over her newly acquired accomplishment in 176 J . 1 T Q l i l a l l . 'f so Q, . ,A 2.-912, ,' Y X' L! the tatting line as a child over a new toy, she sat for a long time with her face against the window, looking out across the campus. When the girls came back they stopped before the door and solemnly pinched each other. Could they be dreaming? For from the suite came the low notes of a Spanish melody and the soft thrum of the accompaniment, played as only Anne could play it. The real end of the story came some six weeks later. Anne was her normal self again, a very much improved self to be sure, but not in the sense of the word as she had used it during her hibernation, as Marie called her crusade against wasting time. She was sitting at the dinner table getting ready to laugh at the best joke ever which the adoring little Freshman on her right was telling her. That's a good-looking man with Evelyn Morrison, said Marie. Someone an- swered that it was the man to whom she had just become engaged and Anne turned quickly to look at him. Evelyn Morrison, the girl-who-would-be-witty, the most empty-headed. foolish creature in all creation-what sort of a creature would her man be? They were at the table directly behind Anne's and as she turned her eyes met his directly- level, straight-forward eyes with a little frown between the brows. It was the Professor, he of the voice! Anne turned quickly and the little Freshman resumed her story. And when the time came to laugh, Anne burst forth into such an outbreak of mirth that the little Freshman revelled in pleased surprise. She had been a little afraid Anne wouldn't think it very funny after all. But Anne-like the little boy in the story-book, she just laughed and laughed.

Reed , 7' ta E I V O 7,0 . J Q . i lj THE international development of the Young Men's Christian Association has been phenomenal. From its humble beginnings in the forties and fifties of the past century, it has steadily grown in power, importance and popularity, until at the present, thousands of men are engaged in its service, millions of capital are invested in its buildings and equip- ment, and multitudes are annually helped to a higher physical, mental and spiritual plane by its ever expanding activities. The Inter-collegiate Young Men's Christian Association was established with some misgivings in 1877. Its initial success led to its rapid extension among colleges in all parts of the world, until now there are 2200 college Associations with a membership of nearly I50,000. The Association at Ohio Wesleyan stands high in the ranks of college Associations in the amount of work actually done, the interest shown and the co-operation manifested between its various departments. The year just passed has been especially successful, due largely to the fact that the General Secretary, Mr. J. E. Baldridge. has been relieved of all other duties and has devoted his entire time and energy to the interests of the Associ- ation. The membership totals a little more than 400 undergraduates. The work of the Gospel Team merits special comment. During the Christmas vaca- tion, ten teams-29 men in all, went to ten Ohio towns and cities to help the local pastors conduct an evangelistic campaign. Their reports show more than 150 definite Christian decisions and reclamations as the result of their ten days effort. Several teams will go out again during the spring vacation. Early in the school year at the Mission Fund Rally, nearly S900 was pledged by the students and members of the faculty to be applied as half payment on a printing press to be donated by the University to Rev. A. E. Chenoweth, Ohio Wesleyan's representa- tive in the Philippines, who is now in charge of the Methodist Publishing house in Manila. The Employment Bureau has been instrumental in securing work for a large number of men who are partially working their way through school. It can be very truthfully said that the Assoication is becoming more and more efficient each year and that it is occupying an ever larger position of usefulness and help- fulness in the life of the University. 182 i . 29122 W s lJ Gospel Teams Top row from left to right-L.

Ohio Wesleyan has a merited reputation of being a great training ground for Chris- tian missionaries. The Student Volunteer Band of the present time aims not only to keep up with the past record, but also to surpass it. We are proud of our alumni: no other college organization can show such a list of heroes, statesmen, saints, and martyrs. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. With this inheritance for a start, the Band has an ambition to do broader, more comprehensive, and deeper work. The sun shall never set upon Ohio Wesleyan's possessions.

L lJ The Oxford Club From the halls of the Ohio Wesleyan University have gone forth men who, today, are the leaders not only of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but of the other denomina- tions as well,-Gunsaulus, jefferson, I-loss, Oldham. Anderson, Bashford, Hughs, and McDowell. The Oxford Club is a social organization which aims to bring both prospective and experienced ministers of the Gospel, who are alumni of the University into closer union, thus guaranteeing opportunities for mutual aid and co-operation. It holds monthly and called meetings. Those of its members who are at leisure en- gage in occasional excursions into the country during the Autumn and Spring. On Tues- day eve, November 28, the inaugural banquet of the club was held at which Prof. W. W. Davies acted as Symposiarch with District Superintendents, Wm. lVlcK. Braclmey and Herbert Scott, Prof. R. B. Miller and Pres. Herbert Welch as speakers. 189 MEMBERS Yi?

But the progres- sive march of the twentieth century has resulted in bringing hundreds of the promising foreign students that go abroad for education, to the American institutions of learning, which made it impossible for them to organize clubs composed only of foreign students. On the eve of March IZ, l903, sixteen foreign and two native students of the University of Wisconsin, together representing twelve nationalities, gathered together in the sanctum sanctorum of a japanese student. They founded an International Club in which the representatives of every nation in the University were to meet on a basis of equality and brotherhood. At that time, however, foreign societies were no uncommon feature of American college life. But the idea of a cosmopolitan organization, with uni- versal brotherhood as its cornerstone, was a novel one. It was rather novel and excited some skepticism as to its success, because men generally believed that birds of a feather flocked together. On the other hand, in the Cosmopolitan Club one finds Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, Jew, Bulgarian, Mexican and the like, join hands on a footing of equality. What matters it that one is a Medical student, another a theolog, the third a musician? That one believes in monarchical government, while the other sees in the control of the masses the only remedy for the social evils? That one is a Buddhist priest, the second a Russian revolutionist, the third a Hindu Raja, the fourth a French peasant? The members of the Cosmopolitan Club need no unity in race, color or social position to bind them together. There is a tie, which in their motto, that binds them closer and that is the truth expressed in the words of Goldwin Smith: Above all nations is hu- manity. Such clubs have been established in about thirty-five leading States and endorsed educational institutions. In l907, with an increase of the clubs, a National Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs was founded, which at present has a membership of over two thousand, representing almost sixty different countries. A monthly organ, The Cos- mopolitan Student, keeps the members in touch with each other and with the various move- ments working for the betterment of human society all over the world. This Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs has been affiliated with the International Federation of Students, better known as Corda Fratresf' The Cosmopolitan Club of Ohio Wesleyan University was founded in the Spring of i909 by the efforts of two foreign students, which eventually became the twenty- second chartered chapter of the Association. Our club has been sigularly successful in bringing about a happy relation among the foreign students and a better understanding be- tween them and the native students of the University. Its inevitable outcome would be the' establishment of international friendships, the full significence of which nothing but time and time alone can tell. -J. J.

Its aim is to study the economic and social principles of Socialism in the light of Evolution and Christian Ethics. It is composed of Idealists. These men do not necessarily believe that right principles can at any time be put into operation in society simply because they are right and ethical: they know that the regeneration of society must come gradually, if it comes peacefully as it should come. The ideal, however, to which they are unanimously pledged, is equality of opportunity for every member of society, to develop the highest and best that is in him. They believe that neither God nor humanity can be satisfied with anything less. For this reason, the members of the Social-Democratic Club endorse the principles of the unity of the human family and the brotherhood of man. They stand for every- thing implied in the motto: Above the means for subsistence is life itself. 197 Washingtonis Birthday Luncheon E.dward's Gymnasium I2 M.

Old Monnett, we do love to sing thy praise, and how many and how varied are the tributes which have been paid by loyal Monnett girls. The wide porch where they have lingered after lecture dates, the loggia where they have sat with their faces up against the radiators, the beloved campus carpeted with spring beauties where they have roamed in the dusk after supper-the praise of all these and many more customs dear to their hearts, have been sung again and again. The parlor where all the girls gather after dinner Sunday, the old Monnett Chapel where all the rallies and stunts are held and even the spooky trunk room-all have been duly eulogized and only the Monnett library, with its rusty old books, has been scoffed at as a fit subject for glowing words. Many are the neat and attractive volumes which are overlooked in the utter neglect of the modest little room and, since more than a few of these are worth reading over and over, and all of them are desirable for at least an acquaintance, careful reviews of several have been made for the delection of those who know nothing of what the Monnett library holds. Those who know a great deal about it will no doubt agree that these publications are entirely worth while: Mamie Hamann-A most interesting story of an energetic influential life with much space devoted to the social and religious conditions of the country. Ruth Jackson -An attractive little volume filled with very emphatic views on every subject. Mabel I-lasemeir -Rather lengthy but enjoyable withal. The plot, centering around a musical career, is very well worth reading. Punk Sparks -This book is characterized by the name fthe last onej, and is bright and witty. There is not a page that does not abound in original and altogether comical remarks. Best described as Sport that wrinkled care derides, and laughter holding both his sides. Clara Stuntz -A companion book to Punk Sparks. The words jolly, ca- pable and willing, apply to the heroine, but the book cannot be fully appreciated without its sequel. Marjorie Walker -A good looking volume done in browns. Full of interesting chatter with a dash of romance. Erma Hall -An enchanting story woven around the life of a lovely princess with the golden hair and blue eyes of our favorite fairy tales. Marjorie Davison --Shows a remarkable literary taste and promises to be one of the Six Best. Can be found in the library at almost any time. Mary Brewster -A single story of India, told in a fascinating manner. Pub- lished exclusively by the Hollister Co. under the name of the Foreign Missionary Pub- lishing Company. Helen Adams -A clever book of poems, charmingly written, sure to please any reader with its sweetness and simplicity. Mary Nichols -A book full of magnetism, written in an attractive, straight- forward style, mostly devoted to reviews of Leslie's Weekly for maybe dailyj. Dorothy Welch -A remarkably interesting product of intimate association with the great people of the country. 239 V' E rjorfp' .. gif Edna jones -A jolly little book which would serve as a good companion for the lonely or the homesick. It is full of wholesome fun. Betty Howell -One of those calm, evenly balanced stories that are a pleasure to read and that are well worth reading again and again, each time appreciating more of the deep lying sweetness and charm. Nell Fairbanks -A fascinating story of a typical college girl. One who can season the work-a-day things with the right proportions of delightful episodes and good, times. Margaret Baird --A charming Southern story whose name should be pronounced Mahgaret Baihd, and whose setting is in the Blue Grass region. Florence Dow -A book which requires much study to sound the depths of truth and of admirable characterization. There is a goodly dash of dry wit which adds. to the desirability of close acquaintance with the subject. The Cramptonsn-A novel of great merit and interest in that it has two heroines. They are two jolly girls with many different characteristics which draw to them numerous admirers. When in amateur theatricals they show what adorable little girls they can make and the reader thinks What a shame that they had to grow up. Ruth Jones -May be had in pocket edition only and then apparently by one per-- son only, all of which is really too bad, for such a charming little story should be enjoyed by everyone. Lucy Dewey -A fresh, vigorous novel in which the heroine shows a decided liking for basketball to say nothing of basketball captains. Margaret Purdumn or Peg for Short -The adventure of a most original fun- loving girl which proves to be more interesting as the story advances. Marjorie Pursell -One of those books which the more you know the more you like. Full of blunt good humor and droll remarks which you remember and laugh over long after you have put the book away. Catherine Fissel -An extremely neatly bound book devoted to appreciation of Literary Criticism. L 1 .. .... 240 'xl-91 23 R4 KJ S I Q A: L LZ-E IJOIW' 5715 4 .

The quality and the amount of the work done has been decidedly in advance of that in previous years. Though not assisted financially by the University, as Clee Clubs in many other schools are, yet two continuous trips and one week end trip have been possible. The Christmas trip included concerts in Dayton, Richmond, Ft. Recovery, Portland, Hartford City, Ft. Wayne, Van Wert and Sidney. The spring vacation trip embraced Bellefontaine, Bucyrus, Lorain, Elyria, Cleveland and Conneaut. The week end trip consisted in a joint concert with the Denison Glee Club before the student body of that University, followed by a concert in Bremen the succeeding night. The University Quartette has accompanied the club throughout the entire season. 243 EQ LIE rjozfl' ' N i I L! Ohio Wesleyan Male Quartet L. N. Winters. .. ....... First Tenor H. E. Dewey.. . .....

Dixon If E rjotff' X le' Athletics-a Foreword ACCORDING to a recent talk from the chapel platform, a -college man's education must be composed of mental, spiritual and physical training in order to be substantial. Man must be educated in all three of these attributes in order to become a well-rounded and wholesome personality. In Ohio Wesleyan University no one will doubt the proficiency and thoroughness of the training in the first two, and we are now able to say that the third, which is repre- sented by athletics, is rapidly becoming the equal and superior to any such department in the state. Our gymnasium for men is still regarded the best in Ohio, our athletic field is an- excellent one, and but recently there have been laid out and prepared several new tennis courts, which promises that a revival of that sport is at hand. We have still to bemoan the deplorable fact that our Monnettites must dream yet awhile of that fine new girls' gym- nasium which we all hope is to be erected sometime in the future. Under the efficient leadership of Prof. St. John and Prof. Dixon athletics have boomed this year to a surprising importance. Our football team has been one of the best in our history: our basketball team has distinguished itself both at home and abroad, winning the championship of the state: what the track, baseball and tennis squads will do remains to be seen. Suffice it to say here that there is more interest shown in track this year than ever before and a very large squad is continually practicing. In baseball and tennis we have great expectations. This year, to an extent never before attained, class contests have been exalted. Even the regular Sophomore-Freshman contests have been reduced to an athletic standard. The interclass meet this year caused as great interest as did the regular Varsity meets and developed many proficient athletes for the regular team. Moreover, this boom has not only confined itself to the field of athletic competitions, but has even affected the financial world. Our old friend, the athletic debt, which has haunted us so long, is as phantastic a fancy as the mystic personages which Prof. Walker seems to see in the dome of C-ray Chapel. Along with the athletic debt, that delightful institution, designed to aid beneficient students and faculty in their annual disbursements, the athletic subscription, has also become a thing of the past. Were we to prophesy, we would be able to say as much to Wesleyan's future glory as her past deeds do for her present glory. We can only say that her future could hardly be brighter. 252 ' so so w 5'-n Z-912, b L7 t L QQCWJ MILD, X RW Qjfjy N5 Q 1' 'EX gf? a- W -H .Axfvi 5 f ig X i f ' ' Y Q .I , xx Y Q ,-1,,LE,,,,, .W -..... --.. ...,...,-....-, , 4 x Lf EQ JE I'-7'O'Un' ,' v' K Varsity Football Team, l9l l-l9l2 Top row, left to right--L.

M291 97' N lJ Football, I9I I ' NO season, perhaps, in the history of Ohio Wesleyan's career in football, began with such a promising outlook as that of the Fall of I9I I. With twelve of the old Varsity men ba-ck in the ranks and plenty of new material with which to I' fill in the places of those killed in battle, the sea- son began. And then, Saint was there with 20 qs all his power and influence, well assisted by f Mother Bake who had returned to help in the guiding of his Alma Mater to the coveted prize. The alumni, fearful of their necks, failed to appear for the opening of the season and the Varsity were left to nurture their growing wrath to the destruction of Kenyon, Ohio and Wittenberg. With these games, the prelimina- ries were over and Reserve, quite elated with a tie score with State on her records, was introduced to our giants to the tune of 7 to 0 in our favor. Excitement reigned. On to State was the cry. Everyone was expectant. But on Ohio field, owing probablyl to a lack of aggressive playing on our part, we received the first cold dash to our fond hopes. State had won. On the following Saturday Miami, too confident of her power. was badly worsted by the Varsity. After a struggle, fierce and desperate, in the teeth of a raging wind, Case succeeded in wresting a decided victory from Ohio's best team. Over-confidence and the over-hasty hope of a shut-out, due to our scoring at the very beginning of the game, along with some very fine kicking by our opponents, lost us another close game to Otterbein. But the final game of the year was a final triumph. With ten men, who were playing their last game for their Alma Mater, on the gridiron opposed to our old enemy Denison, we fought the fight of victory and death. Denison was glad to retire with a defeat of I7 to O. Throughout the year the team showed the best of spirit and a determination to do the very best for its colloge. Urged on by the grim smile and assiduous industry of Coach St. John and the beseeching determination of Mother Baker, the team has made not only its college, but its state look up to it with pride.

He is the best line plunger in the State and has a great faculty for picking out the weak places in his opponent's line. His defensive game is as good as his offensive and few men have ever been successful in getting by him. Tommy has been one of the best captains we have ever had. by his example, bringing out all there was in his lealT1mafCS. BIG LIZ HUTCHISON Hutch plays football with all there is in him and with his size and weight makes one of the most formidable line men in the State. Hutch knows how to open holes for line plunges and does it, too. Hutch was picked out for the mythical All Ohio Team. He will be with us again next year as captain. SHEPHERD Shep is classed as number one in Ohio's company of half-backs. He very nearly equals Tommy in charg- ing the line, but is especially noted for his proficiency in open field runs. He has ended his football career with a season which does credit both to himself and his college. BO. LITTICK ' Bo is one of the best ends in the State and easily led the race for a berth on the All-Ohio team. He is an expert at recovering punts and receiving forward passes. This year has been the best in his football career and he has made a name for himself that will last. 257 uvlpL-v- . -rv---r V- ff -ff 1 T M V' -v-f -Sf' W QE JE Brjotfn' l 258 l 1 J I S I Ii i VY 9- L V s lJ il-91213 RATH RATHBUN Rath, though troubled throughout the season by a weak knee. showed up very brilliantly whenever it was necessary to place him in the game. His line judgment and quick decision as quarterback are greatly to be com- mended. We are sorry that Rath can be with us no longer. What he would have done on whole pegs is hard to say. FATHER HICKS Hicks, one of our old veterans, has concluded his splendid career as right tackle and guard in a praiseworthy manner. Few appreciate the part that a guard or tackle. must play in a game. It is not a conspicuous part, but when it is played poorly. proves very disastrous. Father lwas always on the job with his might. We are proud of im. . 'vt LONG JOHN RATHMELL HPREXI E LITTLE George is one of our best and hardest players. His third year upon the gridiron as a Varsity guard has but added, if possible, still more glory to his already illustrious name. His urgent and cheerful voice along with his de- termined Hghting did much to inspire our team to victory. The office which the students have bestowed upon him goes far to show their admiration for his marvelous loyalty to his college. Rathmel, left guard on the Varsity this year, has proved himself well worthy of the position entrusted to him. His steady will and determined fighting never wa- vered even in the thickest fight. He was very fond of towering terribly above some malicious enemy with eyes shooting defiance while he muttered significantly his words of anger, You irritate me. John stays with us next year. 259 v U 9 I 5' JE IJOIJ1 x I1 4 2 1 , 1 1 - 1 V-3 - - 'L'5L'Vi 1 VA - 2f'0 . v if as 9 ,A 1.-912, - Lf BEN GARVER Ben is another Senior who was forced to play the role of 'fsubu the greater part of the season. In case of need, however, no better man could be found to step into the ranks and uphold the game. On account of his vali- ant services and steadfastness Ben has been awarded a W though he was not in quite enough games this year to win one regularly. DOC HYER Doc may be small, but he's right there with the goods when there's need. His First year as Varsity quarterback has been one of success. In a position of so great responsibility, he has deported himself admirably. His spirit is contagious and intoxicating. May he do us honor next year. HATSY SEVERANCE. Sev. plays left end with the same vim and stick-to- itiveness that he shows on the basketball floor. His last year on the gridiron was one of steady, consistent and often sensational playing. He is a sure tackler and is among the speediest in recovering punts. Z TRACY JONES Tracy proved conclusively this year that he has All-State material in him. How the dopesters happened to pass him by is remarkable. Tracy is a splendid punt- er and good at sending forward passes. We expect great things from him next year. ' L J EQ LIE Brjotf' I r Y .l VY g- L SHIVELY Shively is another recruit. His play, in the first part of the season, was un-certain, but he soon found himself and has developed into a fine tackle and guard. He should be excellent next year. 659123 rf' lJ HARTSOCK Hartsock was a raw recruit this year, but in his po- sition as center showed such endurance, skill, and adaptabili- ty to the game as bids fair to make him a star for the coming year. Though quite large and bulky, his actions are quick and effective. In him Wesleyan has a store of promise for the 'coming season. JOHNSON Johnny, one of our heaviest and strongest men, will certainly be a fine man for next year. He did fine work this year. His punting is unexcelled and in carrying the ball he is excellent.

M5912-3 97 Y K L1 Basketball THE Basketball season opened with a team- on the floor composed of three old men and two recruits along with a very promising squad of Subs. Palmer and Skinner did not return tot school this year and Patten, our giant and star center, was among the alumni. The team seemed greatly weakened by these losses. The first game was mere chilcl's play, re- sulting in the complete overthrow of Buchtel. Dur-- ing Christmas vacation the team visited Colgate, St. Lawrence, Rochester and Allegheny, returning wg with three disastrous defeats and but one victory. A little later State defeated us on their floor and the hand of fate seemed hard against the Scarlet and Jet. But all things have an end. Our Southern trip resulted in victory after victory and on returning we beat Rochester. Denison and Reserve by considerably one-sided scores. The game lost to Wooster on the 22nd of February was overbalanced by a victorious return game on the 24th. Allegheny fell our prey with a score of 28- l8. Cincinnati and Denison also met their masters in our five. About this time it was found that the game played with State would not count owing to the fact that the foul line was too'far from the basket. This put us in the race for the championship. The State game, which was to decide the suprema-cy of the State, and the last one of the season, ended with us at the head and the score 33-15. The championship of the State is ours, but more to our honor and that of the team and coach, is the fact that throughout the season, whether winning or losing, our men played with a zeal, a determination, a loyalty and a fairness unrivaled by any of their' opponents. 267 DQ JE rjorfn 2 lr The Figures Buchtel .. .....

THE season of l9l I opened with only four K welt.--,Q of the stars of our l9l 0 Championship team back: if lf If Rathbun, Briggs, Littick and LeSourd. Really V ,J the outlook was dull for there had not been any A sensational players among the under-classmen from . f t F. ' among whom could be chosen men for the Varsity ranks. V But Saint was not dismayed and the early season saw as large an assemblage as ever upon the Athletic field. Players were needed and so players were created to fulfill the demand. Our first game was an overwhelming defeat. Briggs and Rathbun could not enter the game and several others were temporarily disabled. Under these circumstances the professionals of Marion beat us up badly with a score of 30 to 0. On a muddy field Michigan dealt us another defeat to the tune of I3-2. But at that time, when all seemed doubtful at home and the outlook was exceedingly gloomy, St. John and his disciples made a pilgrimage to Athens and as the Transcript records that illustrious occasion knocked the leather of the ball off on top of the Acropolis. Whether this be true or not, we are inclined to believe it for we returned with two victories. p Kentucky State fell an easy prey to the Crimson and Jet and, Denison carried off the lesser end of a 3 to I score. It seemed that the tide had turned but the next games mark a slump which is bound always to come as a result of over-confidence, and Cin- cinnati, after an eleven inning game, carried off the honors. Red Baird's twisters proved too much for our men and we lost to State. The silent courteous Japanese from Keio University, commonly called The Yellow Peril, won over us after a hard-fought game. Our Eastern trip resulted in a victory over Case and a defeat at the hands of Re- serve. Potts, our pitcher, was unable to pitch good ball and lost the game in the first inning. Ohio Northen retired with an undecided game. After I2 innings the tide broke the wrong way and Otterbein had put one over us. The crisis of the season came, how- ever, when we, by virtue of Perry's excellent pitching and fine team work, succeeded in whipping Ohio State. A listless game resembling marbles more than baseball resulted in Kenyon's defeat. The season ended poorly with two defeats: one from Ohio Northern and the other from Wooster. Though the season was not satisfactory, it turned out to be as good as could be ex- pected from the material from which the coach was forced to construct a team. Nearly all of the team remain for the year l9l2, and with Shep as captain and some good material from the under-classmen we are safe to hope for a brighter and more successful season of it this year. if -M .P 1 M 271 L? E Ijorf' I . N J Tennis TENNIS is a sport which has always been very popular at Ohio Wesleyan, but has been handicapped in the past by the lack of courts and proper coaching. This year Prof. Dixon took the matter in hand with his characteristic enthusiasm and the result is a com- plete renovation of the sport. A number of new courts have been built and the old ones have been improved. Systematic schedules have been arranged giving everyone a chance to play or learn to play. Besides the regular inter-collegiate tournaments, inter-class and inter-fraternity matches have been features of the new system. This year's team was composed of Clausing, with his two years' Varsity experience. and Caldwell and DuBois, new men, but both players of exceptional caliber. Caldwell. a sopohomore from the South, has won an enivable reputation for himself at tournaments, both in America and abroad. DuBois, a brilliant player of the Larned type, was form- erly the star of the Wittenberg Team at Springfield. Although two of these players graduate this year, little difficulty is anticipated in Filling their places, for the Freshman class contains a large array of talented players such as Taggart, Worley, and a number of others. 272 ff H l ' ff 'Y .

Daniels and Stauffer, our star 1 g 1 runners had left school, and Day had returned. p Our only defeats were at the hands of our dear 4 , ' enemy, Ohio State. The joy of the season came 1. . A from our victory over State by the score of 46M- BSM. The relay, which decided the meet, was one of the fastest ever run in the gymnasium. 1 , 1 The Big Six resulted in nothing of which we I can be over-proud, though we carried off fourth N place with I0 2-3 points to our favor. The most V inspiring feature of it, however, was that all these points were won by Sopohomores and Juniors, most of whom are with us again this year U91 I-l9l2J. Although Miller, Graeper, Davis, Poling, Newell and Patten have left school, this season promised, even at the outset, to be one of no mean character.' Prof Dixon fills very efficiently the post of Athletic Director, left vacant by the resignation of Mr. W. Page. The new men that he has discovered have proved themselves well worthy of our con- lidence. The season opened by soundly whipping Denison on our home floor. Our trip to Toledo ended in a disastrous defeat due, not to inefficiency, but to insubordination on the part of the team. State was handed a glorious defeat to the tune of 50-43. A 55-38 victory over Oberlin closed the indoor season and crowned O. W. U. indoor champions of the State. Taken all in all, the season has been highly successful and the team showed marked improvement over last year's team. Although the year has developed no remarkable stars and our hopes at the Big Six are not the highest, nevertheless, in the hard and consistent working of a team which shows some extraordinary noteworthy characteristics, we place our hope and confidence that this year Wesleyan shall uphold and advance her outdoor record of the past. . 275 1 D 'Y ff l EK JE, rjorf i x ii Gamma Phi Top row, left to right-Rathbun, Vawter, Eichorn, Prof. Dixon, Lynch, Wright, Ham- lin. - Middle row-Dorsey, Jewell, Gibbons, Kissner, Blanks.

DAVISON Scarcely could we desire a more fortunate event for the Military Department of Ohio Wesleyan than the fact that the United States War Department has detailed Major L. P. Davison, U. S. Army, for duty here. Major Davison seems well qualified for this position. He is a man not only of thorough training in Military Art and Science and extensive experience in active service in the field, but he is also a college man with college ideals and an appreciation of just what kind of military instruction is best suited to such a department in a University. Major Davison is an alumnus of Colgate University, class of 1883, and a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy-West Point-Class of ISB5. He was later detailed by the Government for post graduate work in the U. S. Army Engineer's School of Application, and, still later, took special work in the University of Chicago. His experience in the field consists of active service which engaged him in the Sioux- Indian territory of the Northwestern frontier, and later in Arizona, where he distinguished himself in successfully meeting the duties associated with the trying conditions then exist- ing there. In the Spanish-American War, he saw service in Porto Rico and later became Chief Quartermaster of the Western Division of that island. At the close of the war, he was put in charge of the sanitation of the island, and had further extensive experience in the prison reforms instituted by the Board of Pardons and Prison Control of which he was the executive member. As a reward for faithful and efficient service during and after the war, he was elected as Major of the Porto Rican Battalion in which capacity he was privileged to organize our first Colonial troops. His health failing, he was re- turned to the United States for recuperation. While convalescent he responded to the emergency call when our legation was besieged during the Boxer uprising in China, and, for two years, saw active service in the Orient, taking part in the settlement of three suc- cessive Philippino insurrections. With this valuable military experience and college training, together with that natural characteristic of gaining the friendship and respect of those with whom he associ- ates-a quality he has already proven himself to possess-Major Davison is welcomed to Ohio Wesleyan not only as an earnest Christian gentleman and competent executor, but also the man peculiarly fitted both by training and character for the Professorship of Military Science and Tactics in the University. 280 iv, Mg.-9123 W7 A r N e LI Crack Squad Bottom row. left to right-J.

The opposition of the Faculty has even gone to the extreme of flunking anyone who is caught carrying out the nefarious purpose of this Order. Last year the opposition had its effect upon the students and took the form of cards, reading thuslyg In view of the introduction of the Honor System at O. W. U., I pledge myself to the support of that system to the utmost of my ability, and not only myself to act in accordance with what I believe to be its spirit, but also to encourage others to do the same and strongly 'to discountenance any violation of it But these cards were so unpopular that they were soon lost sight of, and at present the list of applications to this Order includes almost the entire student body f Doc Hyer and Chauncey Shively exceptedl, and everyone is trying to do something sufficiently sensational to insure him membership in the Order. The qualifications for membership are constantly changing. At present, to devise and perfect a proper method of ponying through a Psych. quiz or a recitation in Geol.

He maketh me to have good translations and leadeth me to much glory. He raiseth my standing: he leadeth me into the path of wisdom for credit's sake. Yea, tho I plod thru the Epocles of Horace, I shall feel no failure, for he is with me. Thy words and thy phrases, they comfort me. Thou preparest my lessons for me in spite of my instructors: thou crownest my head with fame and my standing runeth high.

A few moments afterwards a large body of faculty members entered and seated themselves around the large tables, which are familiar to all Freshmen when they first sign up.

Suddenly this animated discussion was broken up by three peculiar knocks on the door. At once Prof. Parsons arose, approached the door and sent forth these winged words from the barrier OJ of his ffalsej teeth: By what token may I recognize thy fitness to enter this sacred domain? A voice without replies: Parapaino phrenon. Enter, returns the worthy Prof. of Greek. Hardly had these words been spoken when the door was opened and in stepped Stanley W. Wiant-the broad-browecl, infant-prodigy of Wesleyan. Again the peculiar knocks were heard. This time Prof. Messick, far famed for his hair cut. gave the chal- lenge. Invenio gradem aut fecit, reply three voices in a chorus and in enter two walking dictionaries, Miss Marshall and Garster. and the famed Scientist, Mr. Hall. The new comers were given class room chairs with broad arms, so that by resting their elbows there- on, they might better support the weight of their brains. After a moment of profound silence, Prof. Bear Davies, acting President of the fraternity, inquired of the neophytes in a solemn voice: By what proofs of scholary research can you base your claim for entrance into this most ancient and venerable organ- ization ? Mr. Garster arose and read a very learned paper on the recondite subject, Girls I Have Loved, which was greeted with great applause. When the sound of applause had died away Miss Marshall read a paper which aroused much interest among the suf- fragettes of the faculty: The Political Prowess of W. J. Bryan. My Fellowtownsmanf' Hall's paper was a very scientifically calculated presentation of statistics: The Elimina- tion of Women from Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Wiant's paper, Bears I Have Met in Yellowstone, was easily the success of the evening. Leading critics already give him high rank in Biblical research, his paper 297 E71 LIE IJO ,' rx k L! touching on some problems connected therewith. These theses were all approved by Prof. Davies and the neophytes' right to Phi Beta Kappa confirmed. The discussion then turned to a consideration of the eligibility of certain members of the present Junior class for next year's fall election. Prof. Smyser read a long list of those eligible, from which the names of james Briggs and Phi Psi Hutchison were unanimously selected as being perfectly sure. Wiant pleaded very earnestly for his room-mate, Kirk, but he was not considered because of his grades. E.. Carmony Kimble was black-balled because of his moral character. At this point in the meeting the neophytes were summoned to the platform where each one swore on a Greek Lexicon everlasting devotion to the sacred laws of the fraternity and his purpose never to make his knowledge useful. The Phi Beta Kappa grip-the crooking of the little finger-was then revealed. Baked beans from Boston were served as refresh- ments. The final stage of the initiation was then reached. Prof. Davies approached Catster and congratulated him. ML Garster, he said in a loud voice, by what means did you attain this great eminence? Professor, he answered, during the verdancy of my Freshman year, I had the great honor of visiting the apartments of Robert Kennedy and wife. The inspiration that I gained gazing into his noble face and hearing his stirring recital of the labors and dangers through which he passed before reaching the goal he so dearly coveted, stirred me to fol- low in his steps. Although my interest at Monnett, the Athletic field, and musical com- edies in Columbus have diverted at times my attention from my studies, the ideals gained through my intimacy with Kennedy have kept me ever true to my lofty aim. Prof. Newberry then interrogated Miss Marshall, but she refused to answer for fear of incriminating herself. Hall, when questioned in like manner by Prof l-lormell, replied: I did so because of strict obligations. In order to keep up the Sig Alph's reputation for scholarship, it was necessary for some one to follow the course of Andy Martin and Cartwright. The choice, alas, fell on me and I have been condemned to burn the midnight oil and cudgel my weary brains while the sounds of football signals and rough-housing came, at intervals, to my attic room. Prof. Walker, laying his hand upon Wiant's shoulder, asked him in turn. Tears came to the eyes of the redoubtable Stanley, and he said in a voice choked with emotion: Professor, I can no longer conceal my miserable plight. Since the first day I came to school I have been using ponies. Yea, also I have cribbed in Bible quizzes and had men answer for my name in Gym. class. At this moment there is sudden consternation: Prof. Walker has fainted. l-le is caried out into the fresh air to be revived and the other members of the chapter prepare for a lecture by Prof. Westgate, entitled, The Elimination of Messick and Parsons from the Faculty. 298 nv t. ,. 157i p - 29122 ' K Lf Horrors! What have we here? Ye gods and little fishes! Has it come to pass that instead of wielding that mighty instrument, the pen, the seniors are filling the pen? How are the mighty fallen! The cohorts of the Sig Alph have lowered their pride and have licked the dust. One man in Phi Beta Kappa and one in the common goal! Truly Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. What does it matter if the president of the Senior class consoles his brother Greek? What does it matter if the whole tribe gathers about the bars and weep with their unfortunate brother? The dignity of the Senior class has come to naught. He is but a Read broken by the law. He is but a deserter from the ranks of that part of the army known as Co. K. In his low estate he seeks for comfort from the Police Gazette. Yea, he'finds none. He draws at a whacking big cheroot, for it is better to smoke here than hereafter. In vain does he seek for a means of escape. The bars are too strong: the vermin too thick. Yea, how are the mighty fallen! 299 V E rtjorfn, n' . IJ Books ,lust Received oiaonoms LEONIDAS GARSTER This ponderous encyclopedia has just been recently received by the library. As a repository for quaint and erudite information and elaborate pedantry, including technical terms in mathematics and philosophy, it is unequaled in American literature. Though somewhat stiff and wooden in phraseology and having a narrative style of peculiarly shuliling gait, it is on the whole to be thoroughly relied upon. PAUL DAVID THARP This racy and interesting publication is said to represent Chambers at his best, ex- ceeding even The Common Law in interest. Though the hero is local, the general scene seems to be laid in Arabia for the words l'louri and date occur very frequently. The plot is modeled after Lord Byron, but new and thrilling adventures in local scenes are men- tioned, including whole chapters occuring at the Greek's and the Hole in the Wall. A medieval element is also present in the medley, as is especially apparent in the general spirit of devoted chivalry and the frequent mentioning of a queen of love and beauty and a certain Sir Arthur Day. As a dashing, lengthy, and gaily-colored tale, recounting some very bold deeds of an osculatory sort, it is especially recommended to the fastidious reader. 1 GEORGE VICTOR GEESEY This comprehensive commentary of musty legal information has just been received by Prof. Fulton. It contains a special chapter of dis-proportionate length, dealing with a proposed measure, the Recall. Outside of this chapter, which is crowded with mis-in- formation ancl prejudice, the work has many excellent and interesting characteristics. In an exceedingly loud and grave tone, the author emphasizes certain fixed legal rules of his own manufacture and bases his theory of jursiprudence upon them, regardless of the gen- erally accepted results of previous writers and the general trend of present-day court decisions. This work, which is always dignified and serious, except when indulging in a species of biting and trunculent wit, is especially recommended to men of unformed opinions, such as William Martin Gross and Arthur William Zimmerman. GLENN HARRISON SPEECE The English department has been delighted to receive this rare literary treasure, a recently discovered one-man drama by Marlowe. This play exhibits even to a fuller extent the characteristics of the earlier play, Tamburlaine. The heavy rumble of the blank verse corresponds exceedingly well to the rant and bombast of the hero, who stalks on the stage continually to display his costume, which includes a curious white handkerchief around the neck, and to display his hollow, pedantic emotion The hero declaims nine-tenths of the lines of the drama and represents himself as having attained unto all knowledge and wishing to conquer the whole world by showing it on all occasions. In his speeches a large amount of exceedingly bad French is used, and various illogical argu- ments are delivered in an exceedingly oratorical and turgid style. The play is also interesting as showing the low average of scientific knowledge among the Elizabethans. 300 B . 639123 P7 L Ll NORMAN FLICKINGER This, one of the rarest works of Greek Saphist Philosophy, is on exhibition near Duvie's room every morning after chapel. The arguments expressed show the unmis- takable influence of Aristotle and George Weaver. The following is the metaphysical proof advanced for the ontological existence of lOl heads on one chicken: fa, No chicken has 100 heads. fb? One chicken has one more head than no chicken. fel Hence, one chicken has IOI heads. The following proof of an economical principle is also contained in the 45th Vol., Chap. I, page 999: fa, No two can live on S3 per week. Chl A woman and a man can be made one. Cc, Therefore, a woman and a man can live on S3 per week. These excerpts show the general argumentative tendency of the work. The clearest chapter is that dealing with the existential and pragmatic necessity, both for the integrating' and differentiating functions of intelligence as maintained by the physiological organism of The Favorite Medical Receipt Book and Home Doctor. Thomssen, McRae and Rockey have highly praised the work and testify that it is more coherent, logical and understandable than any of Duvie's lectures. They say they are inevitably drawn to it' by capillary attraction. HAROLD KIRK This beautiful lyric of pure phantasy is considered by Prof. Smyser as a distinct contribution to American Literature. Passionate fire is somewhat lacking, but it is a per-- feet expression of that woozy feeling. The joys of a canoe ride, of a pleasant stroll with a fair damsel in the land of Avallon, and a cool soda at the Greeks, the fair images seen oft aloft in the blue empyrean from the windows of Duvie's Philosophy class, and the faint vapors arising from the sulphur spring-all these are mirrored in the melliflous- verse. As the sincere expression of a lover's vagaries it is only equalled by that far- famed Toledo composition, William Gross. The expert critics, Flickinger, Dewey, Bob Reed, Fritz and Boo Vawter have expressed their entire satisfaction with the thought content expressed. 301 LIE 8rJor! ' I' I u Wagga 4 lc?

He de- clared he was quite a figure in University life by his action in trying out for yell-leader during the winter, having. thus, nearly accomplished his purpose of trying out for every- thing in college. He said he still lacked a tryout in Varsity football, but intended to make that in the Fall. Mr. Weaver intimated very modestly that he was madly in love with a shining Sorority girl who was treating him cruelly. As an orator he declared he is unequalled, having recently written the eighth most famous oration of the world. While talking he gave us an idea of his prowess in English. in which subject he is specializing. He declares that Prof. Smyser was incorrect in his supposition that Coleridge's Idylls of the King, Byron's Kubla Khan and Shakespeare's Paradise Lost were true poetry, and maintained that Whitcomb Riley's immortal lyric You've Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Around was the only poetic composition fsome of his own being exceptedj worthy of consideration. He said he had been a good boy, his only indis- cretion being his casting a vote for the successful candidate for President of the Y. W. C. A. We earnestly hope that Mr. Weaver will continue to do honor to Pomeroy. -Pomeroy Gazette. 315 RQ E IJOUWW 4 N s. Lf ji?2ii'4- ,r 'Y-, X ' Q: fxx i , 2 Q J l ,.

D The Westgatean EARLY in January Prof. Rice made the following announcement to his class: Prof. XVestgate,' as you know, is president this year of the Ohio Academy of Science. At a recent session of this society, a biologist, who had discovered a new species, named it the Westgatean, in honor of the Society's president. Our biological editor has kindly consented to give us a full and complete account of the particular species of this genus, which appears above-The Westgatean Wesleyanum. Scientific name, Westgatean Wesleyanumg common name, l..ewie. Habitat, in winter, Merrick Hall, clay-pit, run, tile quarry, etc.g in summer, the wilds of Kentucky, Tennessee and other points south. General description: This bug is a near relative, if we may judge from its habits, to the saxifragae. It is covered with a hard shell and is always very stiff. Because of this hard shell and its many tentacles it is thought, by that species of the mamilia called Frosh, upon which it chiefly preys, to be dangerous and vehement, but it is in reality quite harmless. The fact that its pinchers are very subject to snaps also makes it terrible to those subject to that peculiar affliction called required work. When aroused it utters a peculiarly harsh and drawling cry which may be best represented by the words: Well- a-a-a gue-ess we'll h-a-a-a-ve a-a quiz today. The bug is especially abhorred by the feminine gender of the genus homo, whom it continually frightens. The fact that this is the only specimen of the genus yet found prevents immediate efforts being made for its extermination, for a larger number of the same species would make this vicinity uninhabit- able to those of the genus homo who make a pedagogical living by teaching certain dead languages. This species is so large a bug that it is sometimes known as a bugbear. In that regard it is a near relative to the Dixoniae Wesleyanum. 316 'V . I f M as my r L lJ , , j if X N i :':'.':e 1-: Zigi ?

The following was heard sung a few nights ago by the Onion Quartet, composed of Weaver, Bird, Rolo and Sprankle. The tune is that of How Can I Leave Thee. Onion, dear Onion Loyal we are to thee. E'er may thy fragrance be Wafted to us. Vapors of Odevene And HES fwe weenl Are not to be compared To thee at all. Dear and familiar, Known from our boyhood days To all us mystic lads Now here in school. Rough tho' our skin as thine. Yet what's beneath is fine. We'll be great social stars E'er we leave school. Tears to our eyelids Thy glorious presence brings. From thine example springs All of our deeds. Like thine, their fragrance sweet Doth students' nostrils greet. Thus known in Wesleyan Are they to all. Wer't thou a turnip red, Cabbage or rare cubeb. Still would we reverence thee For thy high aim. Before dear Bolitic's plum Thou smell'st first like Bay Rum: Then sauer-kraut's sickly scum. Needed-a flame. 317 r JE Ijotfn if .

Duvy fto Psych Classj- Do not pride yourselves that you are a class. You are only a congregation brought here unwillingly and also unwittingly, four times a week to hear me preach. EXCHANGE.. Our prominent young fellow-citizen, Mr. Stanley Kirk Sprankle, is a worthy repre- sentative of this center of population in the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio. Mr. Sprankle dropped into the editor's office the other day and gave us a brief account of his 'prominence in college circles. He says that the income from his office as Secretary of the Athletic Association of O. W. U. is amply sufficient to cover the expenses of his- college course. Mr. Sprankle indignantly denies the rumor that he is engaged to a beau- tiful belle of the college, saying that she is now wearing a Phi Psi pin. We are glad to make this correction to the article of our last issue. BATH BEACON. 318 B . E912-3 PP' Y k Postlude Most willingly do we face this, not only the last but also the most pleasurable part of our labors. The loyal and earnest support of the Board and the hearty co-operation of all who have lent us assistance calls spontaneously from our editorial pen words of high- est appreciation. We were unfortunate in losing Mr. Brashares from the Board, but out ofthe many celebrities of the class of l9l3 a man was easily found to take his place. An abler and more helpful staff editor could not hope for. The spirit of hearty co-operation was paramount in the attitude of each and every member. Some slight disturbance was encountered by the feminine half of the Board early 'in the year, but the Sorority rushing soon passed and matters again assumed a workable equilibrium. Miss Edwards filled the newly created office of Art Editorship in an admirable manner, not only presenting what contributions she herself could find time to do, but also offering suggestions for the general plan of the book. Miss Dunham was especially helpful in characterizing seniors unknown to the Board and furnishing quotations of whatever nature occasion demanded. Miss Dewey was the careful custodian of the dignity of the book. being strongly opposed to anything in the least crude or commonplace. Whatever of simplicity or refinement characterizes this Bijou may be attributed to Miss Flowers. nothing ornate or superfluous being in the slightest degree tolerated by her. The superior quality of the Monnett department is adequate proof of the ability and efficiency of Miss Diggs. The business manager and editor cannot too highly appreciate the readiness and thor- oughness with which our fair colleagues performed the valuable service of assuming that phase of our labors which associated itself with Monnett Hall. Mr. Recker was a capable man in editing the Athletic department, being equally proficient in portraying past and future. His valuable and indispensable services in handling the camera can be attested by both faculty and students. Mr. Hollister was alive with originality and prompt in the execution of whatever he undertook. Only once was he prone to differ with the Board on any method of procedure, but a flashlight on Monnett porch easily brought him in line with the will of the majority. The very fact that Mr. Neff is destined to Phi Beta Kappa adequately warrants his efficiency in editing the intellectual department. His superior fullness and accuracy of information in general. his Jonsonian and Smyserian style of writing, and his remarkable acquaintance with classi- cal standards of literary works, has made his services of singular vpalue. Mr. Mahon, the assistant business manager, was serviceable in a number .of ways. He was especially willing to undertake and was efficient in performing whatever needed to be done regardless of the nature or character of the work. The book itself is indicative of the ability and energy of R. B. Reed. It was only through his earnest and persistent effort in securing a strong hnancial basis that this publi- cation was made possible. Especial recognition is due Messrs. Westgate and Groat, our faculty censors, who were ever considerate of the desires and opinions of the Board, not once having exercised their official authority in defeating any move we desired to make. Appreciation is also felt for the servi-ces of our artists, Miss Edwards, Art Editor of Bijou: Miss Rogers. senior in the Art Department of Ohio Wesleyan University: Mr. Chase of the class of l9l4 and Mr. Carry of the Freshman class: also for that of our cartoonists, Compton, Cline, Kinsler and Duff. To those mentioned above and all others who have in any way assisted in the pub- lication of this Bijou, we acknowledge our indebtedness. THE EDITOR. lf. M2915 97' Page I . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

The Standard There was an Instructor named Coad, Who pounded the floor when he strode. His hair was so red When it came time for bed He needed no candle--it glowed. There was an Instructor named Pohl, With celibacy as his goal. When he looked at a girl It made his hair curl For fear she'd unbalance his soul.

O sweet Elizabeth, O maiden rare and gay, And fair as well as good, or eye deceives: Thy hair is like the sunshine as it wreathes Thy brows with heavenly light: and always play Within thine eyes the lights of youth: the ray Of rising sun to thy fair cheeks bequeathes His crimson glow, while all the glad world breathes Her richest blessings on thee all the day. But better far than mortal beauty glows The beauty of thy soul's sweet charity, Which to the lives of those about doth lend A kindlier light, and, like a fragrant rose, A sweet perfume: let others love-for me Ir is sufficient to be called thy friend.
