. ) GREETING. First of its line, yet burdened by a tale Of three decades, the infant Narva bows Before the world. The weight of Wisdom ' s might Ne ' er presses low on tender Childhood ' s brows: Expect not grave and dull oration; look For crude performance of an hand unskilled, For foolish chattering of a callow mind— Not sense, but gay nonsense; so, see fulfilled Expectancy. In later years the sage, Perhaps, may speak; now, prattling babe ' s essay. Then smile, if Pity prompt, ' tis well—but smile. Laugh, and be young, laugh, while the world grows gray. -P. P.

EDITORIAL. “But ancient traditions and chronicles hoary, Embellish this hill by their lore : And mine be the duty to gather the legends, And faith in these records restore.” We have been glad ever since we first heard “The Narva suggested for our annual. The words fall like music on the ear, a welcome sound of melody. The more familiar it becomes to us the more grateful we feel to Chas. H. Crooks for proposing so happy a name. Those familiar with William Paxton’s “Vision of Narva” recognize the appropriateness of the title. This tradition concerning the early history of our college hills, the home of Narva, tinges not only of the mystic and beautiful, but also pictures the historical setting of our Alma Mater. Col. Paxton was an early friend of Col. Park and Dr. McAfee, and his enthusiasm for the college is still such that his aged hand was eager to add a blessing to our new labor which gladly pays tribute to the legend he has loved. We believe succeeding volumes will prove “The Narva a happy name. We have been pioneers but ask no pity. We have done our best. AVe shall mourn if you censure; rejoice if you pra ; se. We most regret because we did not warm up to the ever widening field of work sooner, so that we might have produced a better book. Succeeding years may profit by our experience. The purpose of the Narva has grown as our work has progressed. Instead of a picture book merely, “The Narva” has worthy purpose. If perfect it might be a picture of college life as the students on the campus see it. Of course many things must be taken for granted. A description of the routine life or class-room work would be sublimely dry. We have tried to present some of the facts of college life not found in the catalogue. The aim has been to show what individuals are doing, to praise wherever possible. Especially would “The Narva” pay tribute to those labors and victories which come through sources not under direct rule of the faculty, such as are usually termed “outside work.” To be sure we would not slight the valedictorian nor his merits, but the “all round best man is more truly the hero of the college annual than is the close student. We have no “grinds” at Park, and “The Narva” would hardly mention them with praise did they exist. Here is praise to the captain of the football team (?), the orators, the debaters, the musicians, and to the college in general. The attempt has been to picture Alma Mater thus for two purposes, first to give to the Alumni and friends of Park a new idea of our college enterprises, arousing in each a deeper loyalty and pride for the college; second, to put in tangible form those tlr ' ngs which we see here on the campus and which we will cherish through life. Thus “The Narva” will carry us back to college days when silvered locks give warning, to a lingering few, of life’s close end. Then by means of these two purposes it is hoped that a deeper college patrio¬ tism will develop, which will link man to man all of us who own Park’s name. We do not count ourselves judges. “The Narva” has omitted much worthy of honor, and has possibly presented facts better omitted. No at¬ tempt has been made to be fair according to exact merit. “The Narva” con¬ tains what interested us, no more. If you are here unnoticed perhaps next year your praises will be sung. Forgive, if we have abused some. Long live “The Narva.” The editor-in-chief wishes to take this occasion to express his delight at the enthusiastic co-operation of the members of the staff; especially is praise due to Mr. Bible for his tireless labors. Evidently the relations existing be¬ tween the members of “The Narva” staff have inspired our whole class with a feeling of generous good will, quite exceptional in senior classes. Again, mention should be made of the generous help received from persons not on the staff, artists and typewriters especially. To Messrs. McLeod ’02 and McMillan ’03 we owe some of our best sketches. Miss Bennett ’01 and Mr. Stewart and others rendered invaluable aid with their typewriters. We thank all. The staff is under special obligation to Mr. Teachenor of the Teachenor- Bartberger Engraving Co. and to The Burd Fletcher Printing Co. for many helpful suggestions, which have enhanced the appearance of this volume. Shall “The Narva” be published annually hereafter? Is it a wise move? Will Park people stand by it? How can it be improved? Mr. Elvin McLeod of the class of 1902 has already been elected editor-in-chief of the second volume of “The Narva,” with Mr. Archie Law as business manager. If you have answers for the above questions you will greatly favor the new editors by indicating such to them. THE NARVA BOARD, 1901. —9— Hon. Geo. S. Park Dr. John A. McAfee. PARASIA. Mrs. Park.

Thy faith, Parasia, gave us faith: and taught Us in the tiny blade of grass to view The Ruler of the world, whose care hath wrought The atom and the boundless, starry blue. THE POUNDERS. McAfee, Park, Sherwood. Thy home is in his heart, who blessed thy head In holy consecration; all his days He loved and served thee and thy pathway led; His favor and design still bless thy ways. Thy name perpetuates his name, whose land Gave forth these rock-built walls; who loved thine aim To cause the humble youth to understand Their life and destiny; we laud his name. Thine almond, old by many a stormy day, Sends forth new buds, though shaken by each blast; Whose snow-white branches soon must pass away, But not the ripened fruit of seasons past. THE FUTURE. Parasia,—thy home is everywhere: From Sitka’s ice to Orient sun, the praise Of loyal hearts is thine. Unceasing prayer Is thine inheritance. Long be thy days. God grant thee riches and prosperity; Only obey His law; incline thine ears To hear; so will thy Lord be pleased with thee And give thee peace through all the changing years. —10— HISTORY OF PARK COLLEGE. lege. H LASSROOM work began in Park College May 12th, 1875. Accordingly we call that Founders’ Day. There were seventeen students to begin with—who has not heard of the “Original Seventeen?’’ They all came from Highland, Kansas, where they were “prep” students in the university. In Hugord Home at Highland, which was the prototype of Park College Family, there were, in 1875, thirty-five students of Highland University. Eighteen were members of the college classes. These Dr. McAfee left to shift for them¬ selves, which they proceeded to do with good grace, and the other seventeen will enjoy the honor throughout the countless cycles of the ages of being the “Original Seventeen” of Park Col- One need only attend a Commencement in these latter days to learn from the effusions of the older Alumni how things went in those early days. If you will only sit patiently through Dr. Hindman’s annual recital of the tale of the Irishman and goat and red shirt and railroad train, he will tell you all manner of interesting stories of the hard work and scant fare and rigorous rules and of going to prayers before breakfast and of how large a factor in the college life were the chapel services, and of how hard he studied things that he has forgotten all about, and on and on. From the extravagant stories that they all tell, you must inevitably get the impression that those were the days of plain living and high thinking, and if you are an undergraduate of the present generation your heart will swell within you as you recognize in the worthies of those days your lineal ancestors. It was in ’79 that the institution was incorporated and really became Park College. It was incorporated because the work was developed into some¬ thing beyond an experiment and because there were four students ready to be graduated. About the first thing the Board of Trustees did was to pass out diplomas and it has been kept active in the same business ever since. The class of 1901 will bring the Alumni roll up to 425, quick and dead. Now a goodly number are in the heavens above and the rest are scattered to the four corners of the earth. Their levers are set secure under those same corners and before you are dead they and their successors will turn the world upside down. Here is where you may find them: In Uncle Sam’s dominions every¬ where—God bless him and them—in China, India, Japan, Siam, Laos, Egypt, West Africa, Oceanica, Bulgaria, Canada, Korea, Mexico, South America— keep an eye open for them wherever you may wander over the face of the earth. There are none in Mars yet: they have not found a way to get across. Besides, Professor Mattoon says it is chilly over there. The faculty have not always been so handsome as they are now, but hard work has always been done in Park College. The facultv has alwavs been small for the demands made upon its members, and in the early days it was painfully small. The accumulation of laboratory and other material equip¬ ment for classroom work dates in the main from ’93 when Mackay Building became available, and each department of instruction felt that it had gained permanent quarters. The various branches of the science work have had their real development since that date. The building and equipment of the Scott Observatory marked a distinct epoch in the development of the depart¬ ment of astronomy, and that came later. The departmental lines were about then coming to be more closely drawn though long before the outlines of the department of mathematics, of Latin and of Greek were clear enough. But we shall have an earthquake to stand against instigated by the old fogies of the ’70 ' s and ’8o’s unless we hasten to protest that with all the scant equip¬ ment there was good work done during the early days. They will even say that the work was better considering the facilities, but such extravagant talk only comes of their old foginess in which they must be humored. Professor Mattoon, who with his eight-inch equatorial turns Saturn into a whirligig and makes a kaleidoscope of the Pleiades, has the better of Professor Foster who laid aside his text books on Metaphysics and Ethics and his sermon for the next Sunday and took out his home-made pasteboard telescope to entertain the few wondering astronomers for a portion of an evening. Professors Find¬ lay and Dean with their roomfuls of compound microscopes can make more wiggle-tails wiggle than Prof. Meriweather or even Dr. Tibbals ever imagined were provided with wigglers. But the old fogies are egging me on to say that there was a fine lot of agitation of the gray matter in those days. Those were the days when laboratories were carried about in hats. Men thought in those days, though their facilities gave them little opportunity to do else. And they learned what life means and what grit it takes to live it. They made high ideals. The stars were not so big to them but they saw them all. Though ihey seemed farther away, they manfully girded themselves for the climb. Those were the days of brave and hardy men. They learned to set God before their eyes, and trained their ears for “well done,” and though the way led on rough and steep they knew to grip the staff vise-like for the journey. And —12— while they succeeded they have been succeeded. There is a Park College idea and the years have maintained it. There is ever the same high thinking. Park College—some one rub the knuckles of that crusty old timer who has his grip on my sleeve. It must out—Park College is turning out finer and bigger and full as true men and women every year. Her finer equipment is showing itself in men. She has grown in favor with God and man, and may she ever grow ! How now? Expected to learn facts bearing on the history of Park Col¬ lege? Don’t be preposterous. Facts in the compass of a thousand words? That is what this whole book is for. Look at the pictures. It takes all of them-to give a vague idea of what Park College is now. And what it is it has come to be from nothing or next to it in ’75. The Founders? Oh, they are too big men to mention in this brief note. There are whole cyclopaedia articles and books being written about them these days. They were sturdy men who lived sturdy lives and did a sturdy work. Park College must stand sturdily for the Park College idea if she stands true to them and her heritage. J. E. M’AFEE, ’89. Mackay Building. The corner stone of Mackay was laid Commencement Day, 1887. March 13tli. 1893. the building was first used for class work. It contains sixteen recitation rooms, three society halls, the offices of Lowell M. McAfee and several furnace rooms. The great clock in the tower keeps our campus time. A more picturesque hall is seldom found in the west. —13— HOWARD B. MCAFEE. mmi A. G. TRUMBULL. HERSCHEL BARTLET. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. OFFICERS.

HE class of 1901 has now reached that period of its college course when it can look back upon the years spent within these walls with much pleasure. We are about to sever the ties which bind us as under-graduates to the old college. Only a few who commenced at the bottom of the ladder have persisted till now we take this firm stand on the top¬ most round. Many joined our ranks during our course and now vve are a band of 41; poets, orators, novelists and preachers, cooks and doctors, lawyers and geniuses without number, who have won renown through¬ out the college course. But before we depart for the cannibal isles or try our own cooking, before life vocations allure us into oblivion we wish to remind the world of a few of our heroic deeds. “Still beacon-light The deep dark night.” Just two immortal achievements of our academy course. One was our first picnic at Falling Springs. “To Falling Springs we’ll go, if it neither rain nor snow, On the twenty-third of June, if you think it not too soon. We will go.” The other was the glowing benediction from Prof. Lowell concerning sand, sense and rat-holes. While we were freshmen we gave our yell every five minutes. (The) Lord was made president and beneath the banner of black and gold, his heavenly influence inspired us to countless victories. “Buchanan, Oakley, Bible, Bi! Independent!—Hawaii!” In truth the victory we gained over 1900 in the big debate was just the beginning. They would not have graduated if we had not pushed them out. Then with a glory gleaming flourish we topped off the year with a banquet at the home of Mrs. Brown. Sad! Sad ! The glory was too great for some. Shermerhorn, Oakley and Aker never came back. When we became sophomores Robt. Buchanan took the helm while the class “tended” toward other victories, but this was the record: Debate? Lost. Picnic? It rained, adjourned to Woodward; cake stolen by freshmen; vigilance committee appointed. Historical club? Honored by our presence thro’ kindness of Prof. Burt. L. M. McAfee’s tin wedding? Just two years too early. Mr. Winched bought the tinware back and promised to keep still. Reception at home of Dr. Sam’l ? A royal success. - 25 - Frank Bible was elected president for our junior year, the year of the great picnic. It was a glorious October day, and the woods near the chicken farm never put on a happier mood. While “Pip” and “Bobbie” fried the steak and boiled the coffee, the girls defeated the boys in a hard won game of foot-ball. The star features of the day were Lord’s brilliant tackles and (Miss) Chase’s end runs. Full-back Ward distinguished herself by kicking goal twice from the thirty yard line. In May the class gave the annual banquet to the seniors. Snyder was the scene of this happy event. The tables presented a most happy picture, groaning under their bountiful supply. After we had done our duty by them, toasts were given and a general good time followed. Soon came vacation and we went home only to return bearing all the new dignity of seniors. Mr. Crooks was unanimously chosen President for our last year at old Park. The first important event of this year was the trip to Fort Leaven¬ worth, the Kansas Soldiers’ Home, and the Penitentiary. An event of a thousand sacred memories. The class ate Thanksgiving dinner at Nickel Home. After the sumptuous feast games were played which reminded us of our childhood days and stole away the dignity of our senior greatness. In February we went sleighing on a beautiful moonlight night, such as poets see in dreams. There were two sleighs, each with a pair of steady good natured Missouri mules, which could not go faster than a slow walk. We didn’t reach Lakeside, but while we built snow images and kept warm one driver went ahead and soon returned laden with pies from a pie social. The snow lady, built by Emma McBride, the class sculptor, was such a perfect representation of the Twentieth Century woman that the boys could not refrain from kissing her in reverence the Queen of the Night, (not Miss Mc¬ Bride, but the snow image). Soon the pies were gone and we bade adieu to the new snow beings by the roadside. Fortunately we returned promptly on time so when we return in 1911 for the class reunion, Mrs. Patterson will doubtless give us permission to go again. A volume could be added of the history of the class if space permitted. These are a few clinging memories. And now it is with deep sorrow that we must depart. The memories of familiar scenes and faces will never be forgotten by us, but will last with life. If we meet again we will no longer share each others sorrows and triumphs as we do now. It can never be as in the old college days when we were bound by all the ties of comradeship. “We have now passed the last mile post” and the time of breaking old associations is near. In the years to come, a happy train of thought will enter our minds as we look back upon our dear old college days. In behalf of the class of 1901 we wish to thank our Alma Mater for all we have gained during our sojourn here; and in years to come our “hearts will be ever here, where upon the Western air, float the folds of the canary and the wine.” LOU CANFIELD. —20— SENIOR CLASS (1901).

HES TORY. “To vill is to can”—sometimes. I must do the impossible. Imagine a description of the Junior Class in three hundred words. Why that class when in Third Year Academy was the largest in school—63 in number. Today it is the smallest—22 in all—devastated by war and wickedness, love and labor, merriment and matrimony, purified by fire(ing), until it is so small that Prof. Findlay uses a microscope, Prof. Mattoon the telescope, Prof. Dean chemical analysis and Prof. Verrill the imaginalion of Eli Perkins in order to find it, while Profs. Stephens and S. L. McAfee frequently look in vain for its integral parts—especially at breakfast and cadet drill. But it ever makes itself heard. Wilson alone can do that. That class when in the Academy had the only glee club in the college, had athletes galore and sent a noble delegation to the Spanish-American war, of whom Law is the only surviving veteran. That class, both in Academy and College, learned many things now forgotten, some things better not remembered and much that could be used to advantage, especially in examinations, if recalled; has won its full share of honors and contest prizes; “ranks above all others in its originality and taste in decorating for public occasions;” and is the only class for years which has twice won the Freshman-Sophomore debate. That class as Juniors, “represented Chaucer’s Pilgrims just as they were 400 years ago;” went a sleigh-riding without teams, sleighs or getting off Snyder’s back porch; in Biology flayed the amoeba and saw the vorticella “engaged in the process of intussusception” and thought it was merely eating; mixed Biology and Trigonometry in studying the angle-worm—bisected the angle and dissected the worm; in Astronomy learned to sweep—swept the heavens with the telescope—and captured the Leonides—which didn ' t appear: and in Literature “Assays the Bias,” “Idles” by Tennyson and proves Hamlet mad when not sane. That class, according to Prof. Lowell, “goes in pairs,” but it goes, keeps on going, gets there, does many other remarkable things and will do more next year when the present Seniors get out of the vvay. Write the history of such a class on one page? Why I, although an exceedingly modest and taciturn Junior, cannot even write the table of con¬ tents or the introduction in that space. This, then, is the proper place to say—“Kant.” H. M. COURSE.

A few months ago, in the year ninety-four, as I sat at the window of my villa on the Planet Mars, I saw two gentlemen approaching, and greatly to my surprise I recognized two of my old class-mates of Park College, 1903. My astonishment increased, however, when I learned that they, Mr. Girard and Mr. Caskey were only the first arrivals of quite a party from the old class. We were greatly delighted to have a reunion and preparations were made for a banquet that evening. During the evening there was a unanimous call for some of the important events in the old class history. Each one present con¬ tributed some portion. Durkes, contrary to his usual custom, spoke first: “You remember the class entered first year with a membership of sixty and in¬ creased to eighty-five in third year by processes of fission and accretion. I can¬ not remember anything very illustrious that we did the first year: we must have been in a state of profound thought and preparation.” “I understand they washed some of that accretion off some years later, didn ' t they Dur¬ kes?” dryly remarked Arnold Smith. “Say,” said Miss Course, “we organ¬ ized the Senate when we were Second Years, didn’t we, and the plan has been adopted by every class since. It originated as Second Year Debating Club, don ' t you remember, under the direction of Bronson and Wootan and Phillips and some other boys.” “I remember the next year,” put in Peryle Cotten, “it was then that the various contests began for us and we won both prizes in the declamatory contest with the Fourth Years, Alice Wilson took first—and oh ! I remember that year Professor Ernest tried his new system of Greek instruction on us poor sinners.” Suddenly there was a slight commotion at the other end of the dining hall and Air. Irwin was heard to laugh out, Well, we had some great feeds that year Henderson was president of the class. Miss Gaddis was trying to show how the girls elected Mr. Holdcroft, the deacon, president of the class when we were Freshmen when—“And didn’t we play ball,” said Mr. Rayhill, “don’t you remember how we ‘swiped’ the Juniors with a score of 16 to 1. ‘Pat’ and ‘Ham’ made the best battery in school. “We did more than play ball,” said Mr. Jennings, “Williamson won both the declamatory and essay prizes that year and the debate would have been ours too, but for some incomprehensible misunderstanding among the judges.” Say people,” said Rust, “you are forgetting the debate in which Caskey, Holdcroft and Zugg—” Just then the new star which Prof. Mattoon dis¬ covered in 1901 struck the planet and over the confusion that followed eternal darkness settled down.

ANY ancestral classes have passed on leaving their histories as mile¬ stones against which the waves of time lnirl their feeble strength, spend their polishing strokes and echo back in glad ripples. These, the historian discovers and interprets ; then gives the message to the world as history. The history of our present freshmen class we maintain, is the most modern of its kind with room in which to grow. No weary searcher needs delve the earth or turn the yellowish leaves of centuries searching for the life and deeds of our men. Ours is a living story. We still lift verdant brows to the infant sun and build the dreams of things to be. We claim no silver-footed Thetises or swift-footed Achilles, but simple Maries and Willies. Some have gone. In the states of Missouri, Kansas, Matrimony and Iowa, there live and labor those who figured with us in propelk’ng the directrix which completes the arc, whose origin dates with First Year Academy, whose extremity is now slowly moving across the third quadrant. But history lays jesting aside when it thinks of another who once jested with us, who walked with us in days that were. His present place of abode none of us has ever seen. We stood at its door when he left us, but the cloud of death o’er- g? shadowed the beyond. Yet the present holds the absent ones. Memory is the preserver of the fruits we gather in life.

On January 22d, ’96, twenty-two ex-Cheever girls assembled in Mc¬ Cormick chapel for the organization of the new society. Miss Brokaw and Miss Murray were elected chairman and secretary and business was com¬ menced. Committees were appointed for the drawing up of constitution and by-laws and to find a name. The new society began its literary life on January 25th in Cheever hall. The business was chiefly that of electing officers as follows: President, Adah Brokaw; vice-president, Leila Frazier; secretary, Mimre Murray; treasurer, Kate Bright; censor, Cleona Matthews; critic, Nora Shipley; at¬ torney, Lucy Alexander. The most important item was our name. The Twentieth Century Club was a popular fancy until we heard of the little blue flower of the Swiss lands near Lake Lucerne. Lucerne was plea sing to all and was unanimously ac¬ cepted as the new name, and blue—the color of the little flower—became our color. Our first meetings were held on Saturday afternoons, then the change was made to Monday night. Our motto is: Scientia, et Eloquentia et Amicitia. Our object and our plea. Original work. Our ideal: To make Lucerne a training school for higher work. Of the twenty-two charter members the last are leaving us this June. NELLIE M. POLLOCK. LUCERNE LITERARY SOCIETY.

Calliopean Literary Society began its history January 25th, ’96, when Park and Bullard girls met in Park hall to accept or reject the report of a previously appointed committee on Constitution and By-laws. The former action was taken, and a society was organized, enrolling thirty-six charter members. The first corps of officers were: President, Miss Lillie Robison; vice- president, Miss Whittemore; censor, Miss Street; secretary, Miss Margaret Edgar; treasurer, Miss Emma McBride; sergeant, Miss Nellie Taylor. The society programs were to be given regularly on Saturday afternoons, and at its first session February 1st, it was decided to meet permanently in Park hall. With the opening of the next school year Calliopean girls met on Mon¬ day evening instead of Saturday afternoon. Two incidents of this year allied Calliopean and Parchevard societies. The first was a motion made—and carried—to invite one of the boys’ societies, Parchevard suggested, to an open session given November 16. The second was an invitation from Parchevard asking Calliopean to assist them in a joint program. During the years ' 97-’99 society life was hindered by lack of a piano, but the enthusiastic determination which the society exhibited speaks well for its personnel at the time. In October ’97 the Thallio-Callio Club, which is now known as the Glee Club was organized. Calliopean enrolls forty-nine active members. The last charter member, Emma McBride, receives her diploma this year. If the girls who worked so faithfully to found our society could know of its present enthusiastic and help¬ ful work, they would feel amply rewarded. CORA M.

Early in ’96, when the College Societies were being reorganized one of the boys’ societies, wishing to perpetuate the memory of the three old socie¬ ties, chose the first syllable from “Park” and “Cheever” and the last syllable from “Bullard.” Parchevard was the result. The Society held its first meeting in Bullard Hall January 24, 1896. Mr. E. M. Martin (’96) was the first president; C. M. Creighton (’97) the first vice- president. The first literary programme was rendered February 28, 1896. Prof. R. V. Magers (’96) delivered the first installation speech. The Society was .christened “Parchevard” and adopted the motto: “Practice, Persever¬ ance. Success.” The aim of the Society has been to maintain a high standard of literary work and prepare its members for the social, mental, practical and scholarly duties of life. When possible two debates are held with tne Lowell Club; one dur¬ ing the first and one during the second school term. In the Oratorical Contest of 1899, Mr. R. Brown (’00) gained the first place and in 1900 Mr. Geo. Girard (’03) was the winner. The prizes were offered by Alumni. In 1899, Prof. IT. A. Dean (’97) offered three prizes for the best poems. Mr. C. Derr (’01) was awarded first, R. Buchanan (’01) second, G. Verkuyl (’01) third. In 1900, Prof. H. Bullard offered three prizes. Mr. W. Patterson (’01) gained first, C. Whalin (’00) second, R. Buchanan (’01) third. The first story contest was held February, 1900. Mr. R. E. Morrison (’03) was awarded first place. WALTER M. PURVIANCE. The following have been honored E. M.

The Lowell Club is the oldest of the college societies. The first meeting was held January 10th, 1896, at which meeting E. Bishop Whitney was elected president; H. V. Plant, vice-president; Geo. M. Rourke, secretary, and Chas. McKinney, censor. Lowell Club has done hard work, has developed strong debaters and orators and though she has suffered some defeats, she has won more victories. Of the five inter-society debates Lowell Club has won four. The club feels justly proud that a large majority of the inter-collegiate orators and debaters have been chosen from her ranks. Limited membership has developed keener loyalty, more intimate fellowship, and more thorough literary drill per man than a larger roll could have permitted. Among the pleasant features of the club’s history nothing has been more cherished than the loyal friendship of Lucerne Society. Lucerne has mourned with 11s in defeat, and gloried with us in our victories. Cheever Hall has been our castle; air hands have decked her walls with beauty while brave knights have upheld the flags of blue in battle. Struggle becomes sryeet when Lucerne gives praise. The club is proud of its records. But if the day ever comes when she fails to train strong men, and worthy men ; when she flaunts the blue above the Canary and the Wine, and boasts her strength rather than for Alma Mater, then may her glory sink; her triumphs pass away.

Foreman made their first triumphal tour through the colleges, spreading the fire of enthusiasm from that great Northfield Convention. Since then we have been visited by most of the traveling secretaries of the Student Volunteer Movement and have kept in close touch with the central organizati on. The band now numbers twenty- eight resident members. Its president is Mr. Clias. H. Crooks, ’01. For half a dozen years the band has maintained systematic courses of mission study, in company with other college students who cared to partici¬ pate. They have surveyed China, India, Japan and Africa, reviewed the his¬ tory of missions with Smith and Bliss, gained inspiration from the lives of countless missionary heroes, and followed Mott in his circuit through the Strategic Points in the World’s Conquest. When the Student Missionary Campaign in the Presbyterian Church was undertaken two years ago, the Park Volunteer Band was the focal point for the Southwest, and sent nine men and women into the canvass of more than 60 churches. Missionary interest at Park did not begin nor does it end with the Volun¬ teer Band. Of the thirty-three foreign missionaries who have gone out from Park, many were not volunteers in college, yet felt the influence of the band associations scarcely less than those who were. The Volunteer Band stands for aggressive Christianity in the college, seeks a deeper spiritual life, has stimulated missionary zeal in many churches; it brings every student to face personally his responsibility for the evangelization of the world; it bears a standing witness that the Great Commission has binding force today, and that in view of that command of our Lord, yet unrevoked, the chief question for every Chr ' stian student is, “Why should I not consecrate my life to foreign missions?

In vict’ry or defeat let our union be complete; Let us forward to the Canary and the Wine, the Wine, the Wine, Let us forward to the Canary and the Wine. Come ye students one and all, gathered in from many a shore, Let us rally to our loved ensign. Sadness to our hearts will steal, when we come to stand no more ’Neath the folds of the Canary and the Wine. Let us shout our Mater’s worth, shout it gladly far and wide; May her name none e’er outshine ! We will rally to her side, we will help what e’er betide— Waft the folds of the Canary and the Wine. See her loyal children come, casting off all toil and care, Once again her joys entwine ; For their hearts are ever there, where upon the western air Float the folds of the Canary and the AAMie. —Mary Best McKinney, ’OS.

Far-famed nucleus of truth and light, Heaven-watched offspring in earth’s dark night, Soul feels soul when we come to part, Faith-born child of thy Founder’s heart! REFRAIN.

Listen to the merry lass, Hear the peals of music pass From the faintest shade of smiling, From the first faint glimpse of smiling, To a ripple of amusement To a bubbling of amusement, Till, the bonds decorous bursting— For a perfect freedom thirsting— Forth the heavenly music breaks, In each gloomy spirit makes Answering music. Care-free music In the spirit, in the laugh, Makes the sad one long to quaff Of the spirits of the lass, Till, amid the mouldering mass Of a vain world’s heavy cares (Cares which false Ambition bears), One may smile For a while; Then may hasten to be merry, Leave behind all care and worry. Laugh and smile and laugh again— Burst into a loud refrain Of pure laughter, Of free laughter, Laugh and laugh, and la igh again. Onward goes the laughter, higher Rings the music of the lyre. Rising to the topmost height: And each sympathetic wight Shakes with laughing in reply, Laughs, though scarcely knowing why. Look now over all the room: There were deepest depths of gloom But a moment gone, and now— Where are gloom and sadness now? All is full suffused with glory, Filled with joy cachinatory. Cares are gone, Hearts are free From their load Of misery.— ’Twas the maiden’s happy laugh Caused the joy—her fearless laugh— Happy, hearty, laughing laugh. — P. P. F. - 101 - ODE TO HOLLAND. Let reverend bards be-sing in fearful strain Tlieir ancient myth Of shadowy heroes stalking by in train Unheard of syth; But shall we render homage to their lore, And spurn the valiant which our homeland bore, Or lavish honor otherwhere before Our kin and kith? Not so; not while a drop of blood remain Within this breast Shall aught th’ emotions of my soul restrain In her behest, For in that land my fathers shed their blood, That liberty, scarce issued from the bud, Might grow and blossom midst the angry flood Of narrow zest. ’Tis Nederland of which the Muses tell Each coming tide; Tis Nederland for which our bosoms swell With righteous pride; For in that land the tyranny was crushed. While drenched in blood the lilies bowed and blushed, And wondering Europe stood afar, still hushed On either side. No Philip nor his hirelings had the power, Spite empty boasts, To crush a people whose defense and tower Ts Lord of Hosts; Full four score years the sons of Holland wrought The arts of war; with variant hope they fought, And found in blood the prize of peace they sought For all their coasts. Yet Nederland, exultant in her bliss, Forsook the path From which digression ever was and is Interna] scath. Ah, happiness departed, and instead,, Infernal strife and discontentment spread, And o’er the land hung thick, unseen, the dread Of heaven’s wrath. Dark was the day when Holland’s funeral dirge Re-echoed low Along the sea-born dunes whose crowns emerge Somber and slow; But ne’er was Holland formed for graceless grave, Returning penitent, Mercy forgave; The yoke was crushed that marked her alien slave At single blow. May gratitude to Him whose throne is high, Far passing thine. Grow and extend its branches ’neatli the sky In love benign; And may the Father of all bliss and peace. Whose goodness, power and glory never cease, From His abundant measure thine increase With grace divine. Copley No. 30, April 8, 1001. — Gerritt Verkuyl. -105 - THE PLEIADES. All are but dim compared with these. This scarcely discernible six or seven, And why you call them your Pleiades? You see but six? 1 can count eleven. Another, and more till they seem the spray Of a starry fount on the sward of heaven, Rising and falling in rhythmic play. And gazing still on their throbbing glory Like the beat of a heart of light, it seems The theme of llie Patmos prophet’s story, And the far, fair land of my childhood’s dreams. —Emma B. McBride, in March “ ' Stylus.” The air is still and the sky is clear. Where are the Pleiades tonight? There is Orion, they must be near. onder I see them, a blur of light. Tell me why, of the stars of heaven, THE PENITENT. (The self-gratulation of the sinner is changed into remorse and then into penitene by listening to the music of the college organ.) I. My way in life is fair, and failure clutches In vain at my success. Hope’s sunbeam touches The most blue-distant peak. Ah, mark How well I’ve hid my sin! But hark: The quivering tones! The awful moans! The college chapel organ turns all my radiance dark. II. The organ knows my doom! 0 hear it, shrieking On high my sin! It screams—’tis seeking Abroad to tell my wrong to all. i know its craft; it sees my fall— Ah! That tone! — 1 own, I own, 0 God, my sin—Forgive! Have mercy on my call! III. ’Tis now indeed the chords are changed. The chime Wafts wide in tender notes of love. My crime Has been forgot. Not sin concealed Brings calm, nor yet remorse revealed, But tones of peace Ring out, and cease All strivings, when the sinner learns to God to yield. —I 1 . P. F. . — 106 — TO THE MISSOURI. Proud offspring of the Rock-Hewn Hills that raise Their Titan heads, far toward the sun ' s decline, Upon thy heaving hreast in other days The red man’s light canoes in crafty line, The trapper’s low-laid bark, the massive maze Of commerce-laden fleets, bore on the Sign Of Progress to the West. The iron ways Of travel now along thy torrents twine. Thy billows lave a citadel, the home Of learning, Source of Might, from out whose walls Empowered men wide o’er thine holdings roam, To bear the Tale of Truth where Error thralls. All—Man, Might, Nature, endless life of thine— But mirrors forth the Real, all Divine. — P. P. F. FALLING SPRINGS. When days are long and my heart craves song, T go to Falling Springs. To my restless ear it is soothing to hear the music that Nature sings. The murmuring sound of the water’s bound, as it splashes into spray, And the gentler tone of the streamlet’s moan mingle together and play. Gay beams of light in their merry flight appear and dissolve at a glance : The rainbow sheen of each drop as it’s seen gives color and grace to the dance. The robin’s note and trilling float far out on the summer air. Many hours glide by ever swift as I lie at rest in a mossy lair. Bright butterflies on their way to the skies silently loiter and play. In the lazy ease of the wayward breeze blue violets drowsily sway. At setting sun when the day is done the cricket joins the song, The bull-frogs croak till they almost choke singing bass for the chattering throng. The stars from their sleep begin to peep, and the moon sheds her fairy light, This changing scene is changeless I ween, though the seasons hasten their flight; For Indian eyes oft gazed on these skies, did list to the water fall, And watched the day as it passed away—but have Indian eyes seen all ? For whose is the face of loveliest grace? Is it that of the starry blue? Or who has the voice at which I rejoice? Do you think I’d tell you who? — C. H. Derr. TO OLD KATE. O Catharine! A beast of low degree, How couldest thou, through years reiterate, Compel thy stubborn strength and will to wait The careless bidding of a stripling, he How oft more insensate than thou ? Patient and constant was thy daily way: While months rolled into years ne’er came the day When Kate appeared not o’er the terrace brow. Thy work is done: through vale, o’er mossy hill The streams of water flow by steaming power, And thy long years of humble toil are o’er. Rejoice! No dark old age, with gloom to fill Thine end! Thou sawest thy sphere of labor lost, Sighed once, and rendered up the wearied ghost! — L. A 7 . 8. -107 - THE COLLEGE BELL. Peculiar goddess of a stricken frame Prom revery of dreams thy subjects wake, And call them to a deficit of steak, When day is on! But, oh, how oft in pleasing tones At thy sweet beck, with glad alarms, The love-lorn swains woo Cupid’s charms, When Two is off! — H. M. Robinson. EASTER. Through Friday’s gloom infernal We faithless passed our night; But with the First-day’s light Comes Easter’s joy eternal. The men that crucified Him In crouching terror fall. Christ breaks the prison wall: Death’s darkness cannot hide Him. Spring gives Him adoration; The sunlight’s joyful beam Reviving flower and stream Renews His coronation. Tell out the Easter story. Let all the dying world Christ’s banner see unfurled In resurrection glory. April 7, 1901. ' — G. H. Derr. — 108 — FAME. Fair enchantress, subtle queen of witchery, Nor man of woman born but feels—ere consciousness Of duty owed, dawns on his better self— Thy perfumed breath luring him on. On, on before the pressing throng like airy phantom Thou dost flit, o’er treacherous way, Where one man grasps thy mantle, but Millions are by pitfalls of oblivion swallowed up. Unnumbered hosts, adown the eld of ages sought thee And ever striving met dire death upon the way. And turned thee ’neath his sabel pinions lurking And mocked thy victims’ palsied hope, and ebbing life. — B. A. Buchanan. THE SENIOR’S FAREWELL. (Air—Old Kentucky Home.) The sun sinks low on the hill-tops far away; The river is red with the light; Our hearts are sad at the closing of the day, And dark are the shades of coming night. No more shall we see on the river smooth and still The glory of sunset and sky, Nor the high strong walls of our college on the hill; Then good-bye, my college home, good-bye. CHORUS. Then farewell, my class-mates, A last and long farewell; For tomorrow night we’ll be speeding far away; Then my old Park College home, farewell. Fhe moon shines bright on an old Missouri hill: ’Tis summer, the night’s calm and clear. Away down stream T can hear the whip-poor-will; Then I think of all my friends and comrades dear. The calm light shines on the turrets of Mackay; All dream-like it stands in the night. We will sing one song ’neath those walls so high and gray; Then my old Park College home, good night. The train comes round by the old Missouri bend; Then class-mates, forever farewell. The hour has come when our college days must end; For the last time we hear the college yell. Friends whom we leave, whom we never-more may see, Our old college colors hold high; And fight on for Park, true and faithful, strong and free. Then our dear old comrades all, good-bye. —IF. Merritt Hutchison. 109 — EXTRACTS From “The Vision of Narva,” by Wm. M. Paxton. I. ALLOE, THE WHITE MAN, AND MORNING, CHIEF NARVA’S DAUGHTER. From fissures in the rock-bound cavern Cave, percolating waters fell— And, gathered in a rock-bound basin, Became a clear, perennial well. Here Alloe built a bower of beauty, And Morning decked its walls with grace, And this the lovers, now affianced, Selected as their trysting place. Beside the brook the lovers often In converse spent the evening gray, Until the Indians called the streamlet, “White Alloe Branch’—us name to-day. II. MORNING’S SONG OF THE PRAIRIES. Be thine the high mountain, where storms ever lower, And winter in solitude reigns; But mine be the prairie, where sunshine and shower, Make genial the emerald plains. Be thine the wild ocean, where sea-wraiths give warning Of vessels engulfed with their crews; But mine be the prairie, in tents of the morning, Or evening’s soft roseate hues. III. NARVA’S VISION OF PARK COLLEGE. Before us, see a charming villa, That nestles at our very feet; It is religion’s holy temple, And education’s noble seat. Above the college hangs a banner, With “Holiness to God” inscribed; For virtue, truth and pure religion By eager youths are here imbibed. An atmosphere of classic learning Pervades these academic walls; The Graces dance in fairy circles, And muses sing through attic halls. Here Science builds her brilliant temple; Devotion bows at lowly shrines; Religion lifts the open Bible, And truth is delved from Wisdom’s mines. IV. THE VISION OF PARK’S ALUMNI. I trace the record of the college, And see inscribed on every page, Some worthy name of man or woman, Renowned as hero, saint or sage: On wild Korea’s snow-clad mountains— Where Chinese bow to stock and stone— Where tigers crouch in India’s jungles. These youths the way of life make known. - 110 — MOONLIGHT FANCIES. (Read at Junior-Senior Banquet, 1900.) How often at evening I enter my room At the fading away of twilight. From the casement I watch for the rise of the moon, And the world getting ready for night. I can see on the crest of the hills on the west Great monsters in martial array, Made real by the shaggy green tops of the trees, That turned black when the sun went away. Then I look at the hills on the east, and I see, Rising slowly, the great silent moon; And the wandering stars that await her are glad When she comes and disperses their gloom. The song of the crickets ascends from the ground, From their tent-homes all dewy and chill; And far from the forest surrounding there comes The song of the drear whip-poor-will. I can see standing out on the terraced hillside, Strong-walled, in magnificence rare, The College, with gables and spires gleaming bright In the shower of moonlight so fair. There seems to be feeling like that of a face, Smiling not but inviting to come; And its countenance brightens, and darkens by turns, As the clouds float across the calm moon. And I watch the bright stars that are twinkling above Like jets on the river of years; But its ripples are soft, as they silently move. To be lost in the music of spheres. So glide the sweet moments that make up the night; The hour glass fills to the brim: The moon beams are grown ineandescently light, And I grow in my consciousness dim. The picture recedes, when my consciousness fails To record the rare shower of light; The curtains that hang from my walls become sails Of my “ships that pass in the night.” Then I enter the realm where the soul is relieved To free action, from physical rest; In my dreams are repeated the life, and the love, And the friends, that my college days blessed. 1 hear from the hills a continued applause That struggles some news to relate, And I know that the cheer, and the clapping I hear Are the victory of a debate. 8 — 111 — And sweeter than roses after a rain Or the fragrance that’s borne from the trees Are the mellow chord, and the trembling strain That floats on the evening breeze. The tinkle of distant sheep-bells from the hills And the lowing of kine at the bars, Are brought to my heart by the mandolin trills, And the soft sweet tones of guitars. But there rises above this calm, gentler strain, As chords of a masterful hand, A song—’tis the glee club, they’re singing again, “Listen to the music of the band.” Then a deep thrilling chorus takes up the mild song; From the chapel it bursts, with a force Of volume so full, that its vibrations strong Shake the earth in their resonant course. The sun sends his glistening rays through my screen; The birds in the tree tops above Are asking a tribute;—the tribute I sing Is the noblest tribute of love. Valparaiso, Chile. —Martha V. Fulton, ’00. Affectionately dedicated to ‘ ' The Peach Tree Cluh“ of Barrett Home, which was organized unde inspiration of the chapel talk of Prof. J. E.

The Alumni are making great effort to get the fund in such shape that work may be begun on the new building during the coming season. The cost will be $10,000. The task of raising such a sum is a large undertaking for a company of people such as the Alumni of Park College, few of whom have entered callings where the accumulation of money is possible. It is only by a completely united effort that the realization of their hopes can be made pos¬ sible. It is noteworthy that no word but of cordial interest and support has been received by the committee. Pledges already on hand provide for more than a quarter of the fund, and many who have not yet pledged have signified their intention of doing so. If the construction of the building is.delayed it will be greatly to the regret of all, but the plan is good enough and the Alumni are determined enough to insure the erection of the building later if it cannot be sooner.— (From the March Stylus.) —11:1— THE NEW ALUMNI BUILDING.

Many of the strong, prominent men of the country have profited by its opportunities, been inspired in its contests and pay just tribute to its worth. Missouri did not join the association till 1890, the year Rev. M. E. Krotzer, ' 90, represented Park in the Inter-Collegiate. Mr. Krotzer is now pastor of the Presbyterian church, Harvard, Ill. Homer R. Mann won the contest in ’91, but did not compete in the state contest. Albert S. O’Brien, ’92, took his place. We regret our inability to include Mr. O’Brien ' s picture in the list of cuts. Homer Mann is not a Park Alumnus, but is enthusiastic for the college. He is in business in Kansas City. Mr. O’Brien lives in Paradise, Kansas. In ’92 Rev. Fred J. Tower ’93, pastor of the Presbyterian church, Carth¬ age, Ill., represented the college. Mr. Tower ably sustained his reputation as a public speaker in his address before the academy graduates two years ago. Rev. J. Lyon Caughey, ’93, at present pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian church, Rochester, N. Y., was our orator for the next year, ’93. Mr. Caughey has a fine church and a bright future seems before him. In ’94 Geo. I. Long, then a freshman, stood for Park; ’97 represented Park in the state contest from then till they left college. W. PI. Mason who did such heroic work at the time of the Galveston catastrophe won the local contest of ’95, but later turned the state contest over to Decker, ' 97, who stood seco nd. Long won again in ’96, but failed to capture the state honors. Then came Perl Decker’s magni¬ ficent triumphs; triumphs which have made Park known through the central states in a new light. New students seek for those who have known Decker, and those who really knew him here are always glad to tell the story over again. George McBride, ’98, was our orator in the contest of 1898. McBride was one of the honor men at Auburn this last commencement. He expects to go to the Mission field. A. R. Des Jardien, ' 99, followed McBride. Mr. Des Jardien is now a middler at McCormick. I11 the contest of 1900, H. E. Blair, ’01. won the local contest. The contest of this year resulted in a victory for Geo. S. McCune, ’01, whose cut appears in connection with program of the local contest. 118 — REV. M. E. KROTZER. REV. F. J. TOWER. INTER-COLLEGIATE ORATORS. — 119 — GEO. M. McBRIDE, ’98. H. E. BLAIR, ’01.

N event never to be forgotten by the students of Park who participated in it, was the celebra¬ tion of the 25th anniversary of the College, .larter of a century of painful striving and per- nt labor in the face of many discouragements great obstacles had been successfullv under- y and the condition and prospects of the insti- m justified the hopes and plans of its founders, as fitting that this triumph should be commem- sd with appropriate ceremonies. For a week the exercises of the College were llv suspended. Day by day students, faculty, friends gathered in McCormick to listen to Is of instruction and counsel, and to render grateful acknowledgement of our obligations to God and to the men of faith and courage who had given for the building up of the institution much of the labor of their lives. One of these men, Dr. E. B. Sherwood of St. Joseph, the venerable President of our Board of Trustees, still lingers among us, and his presence was a link that served to unite us more closely to those early days, when Park College, as we know it, was but a dream of the future. We were greatly honored by the presence of a number of other promi¬ nent men. Conspicuous among these was Dr. Henry M. MacCracken, Chan¬ cellor of the University of New York City, who delivered an address en¬ titled, “What the Scotch-Irish have done for America,” and who occupied our pulpit on the following Sunday. His kindness in leaving the many duties of his office and undertaking so long a journey for the purpose of rendering us this favor, was warmly appreciated. Among the other notable speakers were: President Wm. H. Black, of Missouri Valley College, who spoke on “Serious Facts;” President E. B. Craighead, of Central College, who discussed “Doubt and Faith,” President Homer T. Fuller, of Drury College, whose subject was “Reconstruction in Reformation President John H. MacCracken of Westminster College, whose theme was “Jonathan Edwards and his Earlier Philosophical Writings;” . Prof. Thomas G. Burt, Ph. D., of our own faculty, who spoke on the duty of the college of the present; Dr. William Carter, pastor of the First Presby¬ terian Church of Kansas City, Mo., whose scholarly interpretation of Milton’s —127- 9 Paradise Lost was an intellectual treat long to be remembered; Dr. Hamilton M. Spence, of Galesburg, Ill., who delivered a lecture upon “Poetry and its InfluencesDr. Wm. N. Page, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Leavenworth, Kansas, who delivered the Eulogy of the Founders and Hon. George A. Lawrence of Galesburg, Ill., who presented the claims of the col¬ lege to the friends of education in the state. Many other enjoyable features were in evidence. The daily chapel ser¬ vices at i p. m. were marked by strong addresses from able ministers of the neighboring cities and vicinity. Nothing was left undone to make the oc¬ casion impressive and memorable, and the result amply justified the antici¬ pations and the hopes with which all had looked forward for many months to this celebrat: ' on, so marked in its effect upon our own lives, and so important in the history of our college.

The oldest and by far the best known of Park College publications is the Record. In fact it is probable that a great many of the friends of the college know of no other Park paper, or at best, know the other publications only through The Record. The first number was issued in the fall of ’79, edited almost wholly by Dr. McAfee, the founder of the college. Since then it has been the official paper of Park College family. In its files may be read the story of twenty odd years of toil and struggle to realize the great ideal of the founder of Park. To a stranger it may be un¬ interesting, but to Park men and women the world over it is a welcome visitor. The Record has from the first issue been printed entirely by student labor. The circulation has increased until now sixteen thousand copies are issued weekly. New York. Pennsylvania and Missouri receive the largest number of copies, but The Record finds readers in every state and almost a score of foreign lands. To meet these growing needs a well equipped printing office has gradu¬ ally been fitted up and in it, all the college publications save the Narva are regularly printed. Mr. H. B. McAfee fills the position of editor, though it is likely that he has never laid claim to the title. - 137 - St PUBLISHED MONTHLY, OCTOBER TO JULY INCLUSIVE, BY THE SENIOR CLASS, PARK COLLEGE Robert A.

T WAS the day after the Freshman-Sophomore debate at Park, in the spring of 189. .. The event of the previous evening had been eagerly _ anticipated. For several years, indeed, since the memorable victory of the “immortals,” fortune had invariably favored the Freshman in the annual debate. But this year, despite their accustomed zeal, events had transpired which seemed destined to prevent the repetition of history. Not only had two distinguished debaters entered the Sophomore class, but the Freshmen had met with singular misfortunes. A few weeks before the debate, a severe attack of measles had reduced Goodwin’s eloquent tones to the still small voice of a whisper. Tilden, “the Bacon of the Freshman Logicians,” had sought new climes early in the year. The debate was a fierce conflict from beginning to end. The Freshmen with their weakened ranks made an heroic effort and only lost by a small minority—the vote of one judge. Even then it was openly declared on good authority that the debate had been won by a technical point, not generally ac¬ cepted in the laws of debating. Considering these extenuating circumstances, the Freshmen could have borne the defeat very gracefully had it not been for the unprecedented con¬ duct of the Sophomores the following morning. Early in the day they had formed a procession headed by four students in deep mourning. These carried a casket purporting to contain the remains of the Freshman class. It bore the inscription, Sic transit gloria mundi. After marching by Snyder and Nickel to the mournful strains of a detach¬ ment of the cornet band, they came to White Alloe Valley. Here they lowered the casket into an open grave. Mr. Henry sang a German funeral dirge and the obsequies were over. At this triumphant moment, a number of Freshmen bearing hoes, picks, and shovels, from the tool room, appeared on the scene. Sergeant Hayden commanded a charge: “Forward! “Into the valley of death, into the jaws of’’—the command was not finished. It is certain that the event would have closed with striking ceremonies had it not been for the timely intervention of the Professor in the Department of Practical Christian Training. To intensify the humiliation of the Freshmen, their opponents had decor¬ ated old Kate, the nude that had drawn the water cart over the campus for almost a generation, with their class colors and placed a Freshman cap upon - 153 - her head. A great shout of laughter arose from the students and visitors when they saw old Kate approaching in her strange guise. When she came near, a group of Sophomores gave the Freshmen class yell at the sound of which the frightened mule went clattering down the hill. “Oh, she don’t know her own class mates,” shouted “Doc.” Burton. As evening approached, little squads of students were seen about the campus engaged in earnest conversation. It was evident that trouble was brewing in the camp. Various plans of revenge were discussed. Hayden had proposed that they shingle the proud locks of the Sophomore class president. Dick Hul- bert had urged them to conceal a hive of bees, taken from the college farm, in Bishop’s room, where a number of Sophomores were accustomed to assemble every evening; then at a given signal, overturn the hive by a hidden string, - having fastened the door from the outside. The feeling occasioned by so sudden an introduction to the “busy bees” would be a stinging rebuke upon them. After consideration all these schemes were dismissed as impracticable. It was about seven o’clock in the evening when a small band of Freshmen as¬ sembled in the shadows of Mackay. “Here, boys, attention!” exclaimed Hulbert. “Lyssy’s got a scheme worthy of his venerable namesake.” “Lyssy” was a contraction for Ulysses, which title Edwin Stanton had won because of his craftiness. “Great Caesar! If we don’t wear those Sophies out, I’m a goat,” re¬ joined “Lyssy” triumphantly. “I can’t give all the details here, simply the plan of attack. While Dick and I were working up at the dairy barn this morning we hit upon a great scheme—Dick’s a genius! The Sopho¬ mores are preparing for a banquet at Woodward hall tomorrow, at eleven o ' clock. We want to give them a toast. Tell every Freshman to meet with us at 7:15 tomorrow morning in Bullard hall. No, well say 7:30, Mr. Slow is leading chapel at Snyder now. In the meantime Dick and I will do the rest.” The following morning Woodward hall rang with the din of preparation. The banquet was to be an elaborate affair. Several guests were expected. Prof. Perry, who had rendered them valuable assistance while preparing their debate, was to be the toast-master. He had acquired considerable fame as a debater while in college. It was said that no one yet had claimed equal skill with him in rebuttal. —154 — Had it not been for the voices of the Sophomores below, some strange noises might have been heard in one of the rooms above them. Fortunately, no one noticed them. At the appointed hour the guests and students were seated about a ban¬ quet almost equal to the famed tables of classic story. Suddenly they were alarmed by loud cries of “Fire!” and the ringing of Mackay bell. “The Observatory’s on fire!” some one shouted and a wild disorderly rush was made for the doors. At first some were inclined to draw back, but when the boys further up on the campus saw streams of smoke issuing from the dome of the Observa¬ tory, they all rushed forward. In the midst of the confusion Prof. Swasey was seen coming on the double quick-step up the hill. He was shouting and gesticulating terribly. He entered the smoking building and reached the dome with amazing rapidity, closely followed by two excited Sophomores. But imagine their surprise when they found only a large kettle filled with smoking rags in the middle of the floor. Suddenly the truth dawned upon them. “It’s those Freshmen !” exclaimed Burton angrily. Passionate words and threats of “revenge” were uttered as they hastened back to Woodward. But greater still was their surprise when they reached the banquet room and found nothing disturbed. Incredible! They could scarcely believe their own eyes. What was the explanation of the mystery? At last they con¬ cluded that some one had made a false move. After some temporary excitement, they resumed their places congratu¬ lating themselves on the failure of their opponents’ ill-devised scheme. Prof. Perry occupied the position of honor. His witticisms had already caused much laughter. Assuming a serious manner, he was now discoursing on the im¬ portance of rebuttal in debate, “There’s where you knocked the wind out of your opponents’ sails.” Before he could say more, all were startled by a strange noise. The next moment a large woolly-looking animal rushed out from under the table by the side of Prof. Perry. In less time than it takes to tell it, “Billy,” (for the animal was the large ram from the college farm), executed the movement, “To the rear, march !’’ and made a terrific charge at Prof. Perry. The charge sent the professor sprawling upon the table. Witn Ids right hand he mangled an immense fruit-cake beyond recognition; while with his left he made a “fowl tackle” worthy to grace the program of the “Field Day — 155 — Sports.” At the same moment a plastic pie received the impress of his classic countenance. Panic reigned! No one seemed inclined to charge against “Billy.” Each sought a refuge. The ram made two or three fierce charges against the red colors on the table and then complacently went to work among the ruins of former grandeur. At this crisis two colored workmen happened to be passing by whose assistance the work of destruction was stopped. That day was a memorable one. To be sure the Sophomores made a hearty response to the “toast.” It was sometime before perfect order was restored and the final settlement made. The faculty admitted the grievances of the Freshmen. They had a just cause for seeking revenge. And while deploring the fatal issue of the scheme, which indeed had exceeded its author ' s own expectations, they admired its ingenuity. This was Lyssy’s “toast”: While the students were trying to put out the “fire” in the Observatory, the old ram from the college farm was given a dose of chloroform and quietly slipped under the table. At the critical moment in Prof. Perry’s remarks he came to his senses and made his famous charge. It was decided that the Freshmen should share the expenses of the joke and apologize to Professors Perry and Swasey. Even those who were pro¬ fessed sympathizers of the Sophomores tacitly admitted that the Freshmen had been sufficiently avenged, and that Prof. Perry had at last encountered a champion in the art of rebuttal. FRANK R. ZUGG. - 156 - THE VEILED UNVEILED. It is only after the most painstaking - study of the new Six Dollar Corres¬ pondence Course in Phrenology and Mind Reading, edited by Professor X. La Motte Sage, of the Columbia Scientific Academy, New York, ably aided by a corps of one hundred and fifty likewise professors, that the author feels at all equal to the publishing of the studies in character presented below. The scientific method of procuring and analysing data cannot, out of respect to Dr. Sage, be exposed, hence there will appear but the bare deductions, which may seem commonplace enough, but which, let me assure you, are based on the latest advances in psycho-physics. The young gentlemen of the class have proven a fruitful field, and it is said with utmost freedom that it has never been my privilege to examine finer specimens. I have been able to carry my investigations further with them, and it has been possible, thanks again, kind reader, to the personal help of Prof. Sage, to present individual sketches of the young men—which I hope you will peruse with patience. The young ladies have presented difficulties. It has been the effort to get beneath the surface show, armoured in the glamour of beauty as it is, to the individual essence; this desire has been partially thwarted by the inability of the author to keep his attention entirely fixed on the scientific aspect of the matter. The abundance and artistic arrangement of the capillary filaments has also proven a hindrance in the exercise of our finer abilities in the closer differentiations of phrenology. All these various obstacles have led me to — 157 — decide on the presentation of the result of my investigations among the fair ones, not in the form of individual studies, but rather as a composite, which shall, I hope, portray at once the virtues and the few shortcomings of our sisters of 1901. In some cases the thought has been purposely obscured, that you too, kind reader, might share in the broadening impetus gained by the search for truth amid the windings of falsity. May your sensibilities be awakened, and your wits sharpened, as mine have been. You are my classmate, and I am yours truly. THE BEAUTY SHOW. My sisters, you have gathered from the points of the compass to share with us Park’s unsurpassed facilities for the insertion of knowledge. You have stood by us, thick and thin impartially, and Dan Cupid seems to will that some of you will stand with some of us ere long. Selah. You have presented to our eager eyes the paradox of learning, stern and cold, draped in the robes of beauty and garlanded with the wreaths of grace. You have smiled on us in vic¬ tory, and wept for us in defeat. You have waited for some of us on Snyder porch, and giggled with others in the shadow of Falling Springs. You have snatched prizes from our straining fingers, to reward us with the radiance of a victorious smile over which we have dreamed sleepless nights. You have en¬ couraged us to class spirit by joining hands with us as we played the Drop-the- Handkerchief of college life and waited for the Fate to honor us with a pleasant look and a mocking, retreating glance. You have welded us to the body of the Alumni, and to the undergraduate herd, by the formation of alliances for mutual admiration with the handsome youths of 1899, 1900 and 1902. We re¬ gret that you have passed us up, but we rejoice with you in your gladsomeness, and bid you godspeed. May your bumps of affection and steadfastness never grow less and may the strands of your thread of life be ever as truly woven and as brightly colored as they have been during your college days. THE SWEEPSTAKES. Java Mocha Beal. —“Johnnie” is a model young man in some respects. But alas, and it is mentioned with great and solicitous pain, he has a most serious habit. Sh ! Sh ! In utmost confidence it is told—he is addicted to the habitual use of the fiddle. He played on his Stradivarius one Sabbath Eve., and the tune was the Holy City, set to Old Black Joe—Air Varie—but the rest is secret between John and Prof. Lowell. The trend of Johnnie’s thought stream has been influenced by the coffee he drank in the room previous to the anti¬ feeding ordinance. As a result, his abstractions on concrete subjects are to be published in pamphlet form by the Fleischmann Compressed Yeast Com¬ pany of Cleveland. Willy Frequently Bible. —“Our Frankie’’ is not a gilt-edged edition, nor is he silk-sewed. Nevertheless he is quite a chunk of a boy, philosophically in- — 158 — dined, and breathing freely in a volcanic atmosphere. He has been debater this, and president that till his poor little face is worn quite to a point, and he nervously projects his index finger on the slightest hint of a provocation. He has been known to argue successfully the memory of Des Cartes out of his famous position “Cogito ergo sum,” and to affirm with the utmost naivete that there is no certitude outside of his own consciousness. He knows full well the fare to Oregon, and maybe her sunny smile will restore him. He is the author of “What the Sherwood Stone Wall Heard, duodecimo, 25c per copy. Her Enthusiastic Blair.—“Herbie” is a brunette with a thick black latent beard, and clumsy locks. His fingers are but the thumbs of a Fate pulling down over the eyes of his compatriots. He is the Richard Hanna Platt of the Lowell Club. But beyond these irksome platitudes and welling into the chapel rafters is his tenor voice, which he handles admirably with a certain inimitable Paderewski movement. And yet there is room. He combines lazi¬ ness in so perfect a proportion with regard for the amenities, that he is always there, though just as always late and longingly disdainful. He writes on the ,‘Ironv of Previous Engagements.” Ruthless Argument Buchanan.—“Bob,” the pride of the class! For does not he weigh a solid double hundred and half a score, and are not his knees bowed with the weight thereof? Answer me, 0I1 Delphic oracle. Whisper to me thou leaves of Dodona, he is not a creature of the gods, too airy, fairy for mortal arms? Does he not with his finger on the Bible pilot the course of the Parchevards? And more, doth he not sit wisely in the class rooms and beard the very “profs.” in their dearest dens? Ah, me! All Nature might lie down and say this was a man. Then, too, his eyes are toward the West, which beckons, inviting his nearer approach. He has in preparation a paper on the Aker System of Physical Culture. Continually Hurried Crooks.—And now we must speak gently of Charlie, though he is from Kansas, the land of the blustering corn and the fighting Funstons, for he is president of the class, and engaged to be married, and so young and tender, soft almost, too. He has had lots of experience as a presid¬ ing officer for has he not been present at and presided over every one of our (14 x 16 x 12 X ' 5) class meetings? He belongs to the Volunteer Band, and elsewhere his picture is given in full dress in pursuit of his calling in Africa. Charlie goetli hastily from place to place, nor mindeth whence he cometh nor whither he goeth. Coming Going Dentan.—Claude is retiring in disposition. He generally retires during study hour too, so it is whispered. He is somewhat eccentric, and does things when you don’t expect it, and once he took his coat ofif, right down in the Chapel when nobody was expecting it, and everybody noticed it too. He must be given to introspection—awful thought. When the world about us ofifers such charms! Perhaps he practices empirical or physiological —159— 11 psychology on himself. Such philosophic minds move the world sometimes, though it may be the world of introspection. Certainly Herbivarous Derr. —All Derr may be divided into two parts— that which is supposed to be rational, and that which is extra-rational or un¬ thinkable, i. e., mustache. The statistician of the class vouches for it that Charlie dear has set or grafted, nurtured and admonished, fondled and anointed sixteen insipidly incipient mustachettes, all of the same size, color and condi¬ tion of thinness since his advent into the college. May its shadow at least never grow less. It may prove some day to be but an excrescence with a man behind it. Oh how often is history thus obscured by the most insignificant trifles! But he is a poet, and won’t notice this prosaic warning. Prosaically Poetical Faris. —Paul is queer. You can’t get around the statement, if there is a loophole in the fact. Geniuses are queer, and so are genii. Therefore Paul may be either or neither. He is poet laureate, possibly a la cold Austin. His effusions have been gratefully refused by periodicals from Nick Carter to the Century and from Point Barrow to the Cape of Good Hope. He is a prohibition orator. He took second in the State Prohibition contest last year, the other fellow winning first. Beneath his curly locks, be¬ hind his brow of classic mold, thoughts sometimes brave their lonely way to victory or death. Tell it not for it is a profound secret. Wee Midget Hutchinson. —If feet alone made a poet, “Hutch.” would have that honor thrust upon him, willy nilly. His climb up the ladder of fame has been slow and painful for frequently the underspring has been bursted away by his steady tramp of feet. “Hutch.” was the senior partner in the firm of Hutchison and Dailey, wood-gatherers. Dailey turned his attention to wool-gathering, and retired into private life while “Hutchie” is still with us. It was rumored early in the year that he had been elected basso in the Glee Club—to balance Beebe’s heavy tenor. May Blossom Lasley. —“Lasses” and mo’ lasses ! W. I. T. (what is truth) as he is familiarly called is a chip off the block, and looks as equally at home with one of “Dutch’s” straws in his mouth as with a base ball bat in his hand. He is an ardent lover of Literature, and has been known to sit under “Lux Benigna” for two successive recitations with equal passivity. ’Lasses is the sport of the class and anytime he isn’t up-to-date, it is when mustaches are in style, and he feels he can ' t stack up with “Davy” and Charlie Derr. He is preparing an oration on Hamilton. Rehoboam Jeremiah Lord. —Ralph is a student of the congruities. How else would he have selected Bible for a room-mate? It is said that in their room, chapters aren’t read, they are breathed on the atmosphere. I don’t be¬ lieve it though. He has played feet-ball on the class team, once he played opposite Dr. Burt, Hamilton ’Varsity ’95. He has recovered since. It was under his guiding hand, as president, that the class of 1901, formed its hardy constitution that will soon be amended into the By-Laws of Life. —100— Great Sound McCune. —“ Rum, rum, 1 must have rum.” Oh, I see them coming - , they surge in diabolic glee about him, but they are not rum devils, they are the incarnate duties of a diaconate, the sprites of a collection basket, and the restless fairies of a confidential talk with Thomas, Richard and Henry. But, above all, in all, encompassing and swirling through all is that agonizing voice which must ring forever down the twisted alley of time, proclaiming the evils of intemperance, terrorizing cobwebs, and making infant cockroaches seek shelter. Closely Clinging Mclntire. —Ye gods! but the time is remembered when Curtis sought shelter from the blast beneath the sheltering walls of Snyder, and received an oblation. Dark thoughts were in his mind then, and truly his mind seemed a “stream of consciousness,” but he recalled his dignity as pri¬ vate secretary and withdrew, bespattered, but not drowned. Curtis is aggres¬ sive, and has lived it down. His profile is classic, recalling the arch of Vespasian. He reads music, sings beautifully and composes like a composite of Mendelssohn, Wagner, and Beethoven. Jasper Lipped Myers. —Gentle, persuasive “Johnnie.” His memory will cling in these college halls for many years for there are Myers in every class from the first year academy to the senior. If not, why not? John is not old, not yet is he young. It is rumored—all responsibility for rumors is disclaimed at this office—that he would like to get young. And yet he is not a modern Ponce de Leon. The explanation will be found in the next issue, which may be had from the publishers at the regular retail price. Worshipful Majesty Patterson. —The early bird catches the worm, which is bad for the worm. It is rumored that “Pat.” is the legitimate heir of one Parada, who after he had been at home for three months telegraphed his friends here that he had arrived safely. But then you can ' t blame a man for anything after he has roomed with Faris for a year. “Pat.” is a political economist and mathematician of the first water. He helped Professor Mattoon figure the probable path of a new planet that apneared one night. After the solution had been laboriously won, it was discovered that the planet was a fire balloon sent up by the Freshmen. Charley Mary Pipkin. —My heart fails me to tell the deeds of a Pipkin. A soldier of fortune, the captain of a ball team, a wearer of the white ribbon! The sounds of his returning footsteps have re-echoed often through the col¬ lege halls. His scheme for the reunion of the class, by twos, was rejected in class-meeting because “Davy” was not on hand to second the motion. Far from the scene of strife on a huckleberry bush sits a little bird which tells of a United States Senator or an insurance agent yet to be evolved from the above. Heavenly Minded Robinson. —My heart fails me worse than ever. A win¬ ning orator, minus one, time without number! The would be valedictorian — 161 — of the class! The star soloist of the choir! The prize student in zoology, biology and botany! The author of the Bankruptcy Laus for the Glee Club! The mascot of the ball team ! The man whom you can never put your finger on when you want to, and who is always there when not wanted ! The suc¬ cessor of Boswell as the writer of Biographies. Garrulous Verkuyl.—Verk is a stickler for propriety. He wouldn’t go to California to vote, when his heart called him, because he wasn’t naturalized, had only lived there three weeks, and the State Committee wouldn ' t pay his expenses. His disquisitions on unheard-of subjects, at unthought-of lengths, in philosophy, are being compiled by Frank McAfee, under the title of “The Philosophy of Sabbaticus Morbus and other Essays,” and are soon to be pub¬ lished as a handbook in Moral Philosophy. He thinks too much, and lives too little. Deacon Waggoner.—The climate of Alaska is cold, frequent, and no respecter of missionaries. It would be lonely for “Dave” there all alone, but it won’t be. Steamship companies allow three hundred pounds baggage per ticket. “Dave” takes six hundred pounds. Apply the Rule of Two. His solemn sober counsel, presented by those classic lips, overshadowed by that sleepy mustache cannot but arouse in the Alaskans a reverence for Americans which can only be equalled by their liking for blubber. - 162 - THE FACULTY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

IN DETERMINING WHAT INSTITUTION YOU WILL PATRONIZE The Bible and Christian culture on a broad basis are emphasized. The Classical Course of Instruction is the only one maintained. A faculty of Twenty-two members, all of whom are Christians, and were selected be¬ cause of their knowledge and ability to teach, make possible a number of well selected ‘‘electives” in the Junior and Senior years. A well equipped Astronomical Observatory affords unusual opportunities for research in this most pleasant science. Large, well lighted and perfectly ventilated lecture halls, with well equipped labor¬ atories, make class-room work a real pleasure. A library of 12,000 volumes, most of them new and especially selected for College uses ; a Reading room having on file the leading magazines and papers, secular and relig¬ ious, with a competent librarian always present, are at the service of the faculty and student body. A proximity to Kansas City, with a convenient train service on the Burlington, makes possible the benefits of a large city while avoiding its dangers.
