©tlrrbinu iHarrhiuiii mty (ErnuTU (Our IClnTr (Ottrrbnn In all the wide world I have ne ' er found a place Which Is to the eye so fair; — And where so much beauty and youth run apace. Where little is known of care; Where young men and maidens from near and afar Are gathered to learn of fame. Where teachers and students work with a will; — Old Otterbein is its name. CHORUS Oh, we ' re proud of our Alma Mater, Of the school that we love so well; — We ' ve flunked in our classes. Frolicked with lasses. Tied up the old college bell; — Oh, the boys are the swellest fellows. And the girls, they are just as fine; Come let us be singing. Laurels be bringing. To crown our loved Otterbein. Tho ' few are her numbers she takes no back seat When ranked with the best of schools; Her students go out and are ne ' er known to fail. For well have they learned the rules. In games and in life it is ever the same. He wins who in brains is clear; And Otterbein stands ahead in it all. For nothing has she to fear. We must not forget for the right e ' er to stand When pressed by the foe to yield. E ' en though, at the time, naught of light can we see. Have courage for God will shield! The school that we love has for aye stood in line For all that can progress make. And thru the long years she has e ' er put her trust In Him who can give and take! G. G. Grabill, ' 00. 14

LATIN Ilaec studia adulesccntiam alunt, senectutem oblect- ant, secundas res ornant, advcrsis jierfugium ac solacium prarebcnt, dclectant domi, non impediunt foris, per- noctant nobiscum peregrinatur, rusticantur. — Cicero. GEORGE SCOTT. Litt.D., Ph.D., Professor of Latin Language and Literature fireat ScDttl The only man on eartli — Hercules excepted — who has successfully made a return trip from Pluto ' s realms. This daring ex- ploit was accomplished last summer during his stay in Italy. He can read Latin backwards with the book downside up. Dr. Scott is jolly, lively, and witty. Never try to play a joke on him for you will be 1 eaten at your own game. : IATIIKMATICS I ' ormed on the good old plan, A true and brave and honest man! Loathing pretense, he did with cheerful will What others talked of while their hands were still. — W ' hitticr. FRANK E. MILLER, Ph.D. Dresbach Professor of Mathematics Dr. Miller is a faithful and energetic promoter of his alma-mater. The Freshie, under his able directions, dives into the depths of Euclid as a summer bather dives into the Atlantic, never to emerge. He can prove that two times two are six, or that a Soph is half as big as he thinks he is, or that a Freshman can talk to infinity without being wound up. PHILOSOPHY To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. — Hcgcl. THOMAS J. SANDERS, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy To know him is to love him. It would be difficult to find a per- son who has the welfare of Otterbein University and student body more at heart than Dr. Sanders. His motto is that of Socrates, Know thyself. This marvelous teacher of philosophy is nowhere more at home than when he is leading the student into a realization of himself. Any person who has had the privilege of sitting at the feet of this Gamaliel is, indeed, fortunate. I.ATI.X This fellow is wit s peddler. — Shakcsfcarc. RUDOLPH H. WAGONER, A.M., Principal of Martin Doehm AcaJemy; Instructor in Latin and Mathematics. I- ' lunko, flunkere, faculty, fire us. Kudy has a style peculiar to Rudy. Here is a sample: .Mr. Ilollingshcad, C.eorge ] rnest, l pper Sandusky, R. F. D. No. 4. Vyan lotte Co., Mifflin Township, I ' leasant Hill Farm, will you magnanimously erect yourself at right angles to terra firma and pro- ceed with a perambulating discourse upon the grammatical syntax of the ponderous, intricate passages of the fortissima stipendia de maximo Ca-sarc? 16
