COPYRIGHT 1931 JOHN E. SLAYMAKER EDITOR ALBERT J. TENER BUSINESS MANAGER [ 2 ] published by the student body of Park College at Parkville, Mo., and presenting for your ap¬ proval a record of the activities and events of the school year 1930 - 31 . [ 3 ] tHe | i q aiion Almost fifty-five years ago the founders of Park College first laid the foundation stones of our institution. With a vision that looked into the future they builded well, seeking to found an institution whose corner stone was faith, whose path led among green pastures of knowledge, and whose efforts built in youth worthy characters of service for mankind. □ To those founders of our college and to the builders who came after, as tenants of a worthy cause, who by their never failing efforts, strove for the betterment of the ideals of Park, and who ever upheld the principles of edu¬ cation in a Christian institution, let us express our deepest appre¬ ciation and dedicate this Narva as a book that glorifies the builder and the school. [ 5 ] Faith, Knowledge, Labor, Character, and Service, are the five pillars of Park. United they blend into the Gothic arch of the institution, lifting it high in dignity and power. Its vaulting shafts mingle as one, until each becomes an outgrowth of the other. Faith gives a temper unto knowledge, while Labor moulds them into Characters for Service in the world of man.

To the loyal group of men and women known as the Board of Trustees is due much credit for the progress the school has made during the past years. These people give freely of their time to the advancement of Park and guide it true to the ideals of Colonel Park, who wrote in the charter of the college: “It is the earnest desire of the friends of this institution that it be established and built up by wisdom and stand forever and go on improving like the older institutions of Europe and America. To accomplish this purpose it is suggested that the Board of Trustees look most critically into the way things are going and make wise provisions for future contingencies . . . Let the eyes of these guardians pierce every nook and cor ' ner and thereby insure wise and skillful management of the institution. Let them pro- vide the best instructors and make the best provisions for their institution their funds will permit, going no further.’ ' Mr. Homer B. Mann of Kansas City, Missouri, is president of the Board. Mr. Charles L. Brokaw of Kansas City, Kansas, is vice ' president. The office of treasurer is filled by Mr. J. A. Bowman, also of Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. David M. Knight is secretary of the Board and business manager of the college. The other members are George A. Lawrence, Galesburg, Illinois; Rev. L. W. Hawley, J. P. Tucker, R. B. Elliott, Parkville, Missouri; A. O. Thompson, J. L. Porter, George H. Davis, George H. Bunting, Miss Elizabeth Scott, Rev. H. C. Rogers, Dr. Wilson A. Myers, Geo.

Dean Walter F. Sanders returned to Park last fall after a year’s work at Ohio State University, where he held a fellowship in the field of Higher Education and School Administration. Through the cooperation of the Presbyterian Board of Education he visited several Presbyterian colleges and conducted research relative to the supervision and improvement of teaching in the field of Higher Education. Dean Sanders received both his A.B. and A.M. degrees from the University of Chicago. Ohio State University has admitted him to candidacy for a Ph.D. degree, for which he has completed his resi¬ dence work and for which his research and subject for thesis have been approved. Previous to 1911 Dean Sanders taught at the Harvard School in Chicago. He is a member of the Modern Language Association of America, American Association of University Professors, National Education Association, American Scandinavian Founda¬ tion, American Legion and the Missouri State Committee of the Y. M. C. A. Also the following honorary organizations have admitted him to their membership: Who’s Who in American Education, Who’s Who in America, Theta Alpha Phi, Pi Kappa Delta, Beta Pi Theta and Alpha Delta. He is pledged to Phi Delta Kappa. A study of the college curriculum this year was made under Dean Sanders’ direction. Such administrative activity may be cited as the source of the reputation which Park College enjoys among the institutions of higher learning. Dean Sanders has written several educational articles. “Supervision of Instruction in Higher Education’’ and “Honors Work in a Small Middle Western College’’ have appeared in issues of School and Society, and an article on “How We Teach at Park Col¬ lege” by Dean Sanders appeared recently in “The Bulletin of the Association of Amer¬ ican Colleges.” iminuiMimiiJinniii i miGnn i nuiuuiu iiiiimmi ' . iiimmur iimmminninmiriTiTiTTrii : A I T H « KNOWLEDGE [ 19 ] LABOR CHARACTER SERVICE .imiLi n m 11 m ii i Lmiiimiiimmiw i m muiiiiiiLuii rpnnniiiE i ii iiiiniiiimminnmn i im ,f, rr r mr Mrs. Ruth H. Schall FACULTY Faith, Knowledge, Labor, Character and Service, these are the five pillars of Park. United they blend into the Gothic arch of the institution. They do not stand alone; each supports the other. All are necessary to produce the graduate whom Park desires. Foremost in this process of construction are the members of the faculty, those ever present masons of the five pillars, who seek to give us knowh edge, who strive to found in us a faith, who set our labors into motion, who endeavor to mould in us characters for service in the world. For the past eleven years Mrs. Ruth H. Schall has been dean of women at Park, having charge of all policies regard ' ing the young women of the college. She is also the super ' intendent of women’s family work. The English department of the college was founded more than forty years ago by Professor Henry S. Verill. Professor Ethel E. Lyon, who came here in 1915, became head of the department in 1922. She received her A.B. degree from Ripon College and her A.M. degree from Columbia University. Professor Lyon spent the summer of 1930 in study at Cambridge University in England. Miss Virginia Lee Cole has finished her third year at Park. She is an instructor in English and has charge of the journal ' ism work of the college. She was granted the B.J. and A.M. degrees by the University of Missouri. Miss Esther Sullivan, also an instructor in English, came here this year after spending a year in Yale, doing graduate work in dramatic art. She received her A.B. degree from Otter ' bein College and her A.M. degree from Ohio State University. Public Speaking has long been recognized as one of the important departments at Park. Professor F. W. Beers, who received his A.B. degree from Northwestern University and his Ph.D. from Ruskin University, is head of the department. This year the debate work has been under the supervision of Professor John Barnes, who received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Northwestern University. Park has just finished a most successful debate season, winning twelve out of four ' teen men’s debates and all of her intercollegiate women’s debates. At a tournament held in Winfield, Kansas, last December Park ' s men debate team won second place, de ' feating debaters from sixty colleges in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas. This year Park entertained the State Old Line Oratorical contest as well as the central divisional meet. A great deal of interest was aroused among the students of the two lower classes in the Verrill Declamatory contest, the results of which were not avail ' Forrest W. Beers able in time for publication. Ethel E.

L. Wolfe, the oldest member of the faculty, having been here forty-two years, was graduated from New York University with a Ph.D. degree. Professor Wolfe was named head of the department of Latin when he first came to Park and remained in this official position when Greek and Latin were combined. Professor Wolfe also taught Latin in the academy. Later the requirements were reduced to Latin and Greek for freshmen only and after the World War the classics were supplanted by modern foreign languages as requirements. In 1926 Mrs. F. W. Beers, who received her A.B. degree from Northwestern University, was added to the staff as an instructor in Latin. The success of former Park students in Greek is conspicuous, Dr. A. L. Wolfe many of them having been awarded fellowships on the basis of competitive work in this subject. German was the first course offered in modern foreign languages at Park, given for the first time in 1896. Not until 1916 were additional courses offered, when Dean Sanders, who is head of the department, organized comprehensive work in French, German and Spanish. Professor Miriam E. Wilson, who is acting chairman of the department and professor of French, received her A.B. degree from Knox College and her A.M. degree from the University of Illinois. She is now having a year’s leave of absence in order to do graduate work at the University of Paris, France. Miss Alice B. Wimmell, a Park graduate, is an instructor in French and has done graduate work at Northwestern University. Miss Elsa Grueneberg offers more than ten courses in German and sponsors the German Club activities. She has an A.M. degree from Chicago Miriam E. Wilson University. Miss Christina Aiken, instructor in Spanish, is also a Park graduate and has spent a summer at the University of Mexico. Miss Virginia Matters, who received her A.B. and A.M. degrees from Oberlin, was added to the foreign language department the second semester, teaching both French and Spanish. The department of mathematics seeks to enable the stu- dent to use the tools of mathematical investigation, to help him develop the habit of logical thought, and to appre¬ ciate the cultural values of rigorous thinking. Professor R. A. Wells, head of this department, began his work at Park College in 1912. He received his A.B. degree from Franklin College and his A.M. degree from the University of Michigan. Miss Ora V. Gates, instructor in this department, is also a graduate of Michigan, where she received her A.M. degree, and from Park, where she received her A.B. R. A.

Professor R. A. Rogers, head of this department, came to Park five years ago from a graduate assistantship at the University of Iowa, where he was granted his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Mr. C. F. Metz, instructor in Physics and Chemistry, has been at Park for three years, coming from the University of Colorado, where he received his M.S. The South Dakota School of Mines granted him a B.S. degree in chemical engineering. The department of natural science was organized by Professor M. C. Findlay in 1892. At that time it was located in the basement of Mackay and had very little equipment. Physics and chemistry were separated from this depart¬ ment in 1900 and taught by Professor H. A. Dean. Since that time the biology depart¬ ment has been developed by Professor Findlay, until it is excellently equipped and occupies the basement and first floor of the Wakefield Science Hall. Professor Findlay received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Hamilton Col¬ lege and an honorary Sc.D. degree from Park. He has done much research work. At present he is assisted in biology by Mr. L. R. Setty, a graduate of Kansas State Teachers College, who has received his A.M. degree from the University of Kansas. Mr. Setty has published several articles concerning special fields of interest in biology. Professor H. G. Parker, head of the department of chemistry, is finishing his first year at Park. He received his A.B. degree from William Jewell College in 1892 and continued as instructor in chemistry there until he received his A.M. degree in 1893. He entered Harvard the following year. His work there included a paper on “The Occlusion of Soluble Salts by Barium Chloride,” which was published in America and Germany. After receiving his Ph.D. degree he returned to William Jewell as profes¬ sor of chemistry and biology. Professor Parker came to Park last September as head of the department of Chem¬ istry. He is assisted in this work by Mr. C. F. Metz. These five science teachers are intensely interested in their work and seek to give the students the best instruc¬ tion possible. Their success is measured by the large num¬ ber of students who major or minor in this field and by the many graduates who are taking prominent parts in scientific investigation and research after leaving Park.

Magers FACULTY From two courses offered in 1891, the George S. Park department of history has developed into a department in which at least ten courses in the field of history are offered each semester. Professor R. V. Magers, a graduate of Park in 1896, has been head of the department since 1912. He received his A.M. degree from Chicago University, and has done considerable research work in local Missouri history. Professor Magers has traveled widely through many parts of Europe. Professor Neil H. Baxter is Asso¬ ciate Professor of history. He is a graduate of Butler University and has an A.M. degree from the University of Chicago. Professor Baxter has studied and taught in South America, making Latin American history his special field of interest. It is the aim of the sociology department at Park to teach students in that field how to think rather than what to think about social problems and to create an attitude rather than to give a body of data. The student is prepared to do independent research and is given such an insight into community life that he will be a constructive critic of social life. Professor Homer L. Williams, head of the department of social science, who after receiving his A.M. degree from Transylvania College taught for two years in Abilene Christian College and acted as a psychological examiner in the army. He has done graduate work at the Univer¬ sity of Chicago and is now a candidate for the Ph.D. degree. As one of the fundamental departments in the Park College curriculum, the Mrs. George S. Park department of Bible and Christian Training, prepares students for further theological work and the ministry, as well as giv¬ ing a thorough background for a Christian life. Professor J. W. Teener, who received his A.M. degree from Princeton, is the head of the department. He has been doing graduate work in the Divinity School of the Uni¬ versity of Chicago this year. The burden of the work of this department has fallen upon Professor J. W. Voorhis, a graduate of Princeton University in 1917 and of Prince¬ ton Theological Seminary in 1920. He has served as pastor at Paoli, Pennsylvania, and in Market Square Presbyterian Church of Harrisburg. Professor Francis L. Bouquet, a graduate of Park, and with B.D. and Th.M. degrees from San Francisco Theological Seminary, has acted as associate professor in Bible and is the pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Parkville.

Wilson FACULTY Psychology is the study of self as the natural sciences are the sciences of nature. It is a foundation study of human life. Under Professor M. H. Wilson much research has been done at Park in this department. Professor Wilson came here in 1908 and had charge of the chapel and taught philosophy. He received his B.S. degree from Bellevue College and his A.M. from Kansas University. Professor Wilson has done work equivalent to a Ph.D. degree with a major in psychology. Much of his research was done along the line of character analysis. He has written several books, including “Vocational Guidance, “Seven Professions and the Teaching of Jesus, and “How to Test Your Religious Experience. In 1930 he pub ' lished a text on “The Right and Wrong Concerning the Professions.” At present he is perfecting a plan for testing religious experiences. Statistics of the department of education show that the number of Park graduates entering the teaching profession has rapidly increased. During the last ten years over forty per cent have taken up high school or college teaching. Professor Mary R. Harrison, who received her A.M. degree from the Univer ' sity of Chicago, is head of the department. She has done extensive work in educational experiments and curriculum building. Mr. G. G. Maxfield is an instructor in Educa ' tion, coming to Park this year from Oz;ark Wesleyan. He received his A.M. degree from the University of Kansas. One of the oldest departments of the college is that of philosophy, founded in 1893 as the Benjamin S. Brown department of mental and moral science, but in 1926 phi ' losophy and psychology were made separate departments. Professor W. A. Cook, head of this department, received his A.B. from Westminster College and his A.M. from Princeton. He was also granted the Ph.D. by the School of Philosophy of Grove City College. He was professor of philosophy and education at Arkansas College, 1908T0; taught the same subjects at Monmouth College, 1910T2, and at Henry Kendall Cob lege of the University of Tulsa during 1915T6. Preceding his work in philosophy at Park, Professor Cook was pro ' fessor of education. The courses in the philosophy depart ' ment include the undergraduate work ordinarily given in the small college of liberal arts. Such subjects as RefleC ' tive Thinking, the history of Philosophy, and the Philoso ' phy of Religion are offered. Students who enroll in these courses are given an excellent background in the field of philosophy. W. A.

Lorimer FACULTY Professor Margaret E. Lorimer supervises the department of home economics. She received her A.B. and A.M. degrees from the University of Kansas and has done grad ' uate work in the University of Chicago. Professor Lori ' mer, who has been at Park five years, formerly taught in the department of home economics at the University of Kansas. The department has been a part of the Park College program for many years and since permanent and modern equipment has been installed in the Alumni Building four years ago, great progress has been made. It is a major department of the college, offering courses which are planned to meet the needs of students entering the pro ' fession of home ' making, or for those who intend to follow further study of a professional nature. The department of physical education was organized and appeared in the college curriculum for the first time this year. Two courses for men and three for women are offered, which include in ' struction, participation and officiating in the following games: Soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, handball and track, as well as a course in gymnastics. The department aims for physical development of the individual, to pro ' vide corrective exercises, and to meet the requirements of the State Board of Education. Professor. Robbins, head of the department, was granted his B.S. degree by New Mexico A. and M. College and his M.S. by the University of Arizona. During the sum ' mers of 1928 ' 29 he did graduate work in mathematics and physics at the University of Kansas and is preparing a thesis for a professional engineering degree. In 1923 and 1925 he was employed by Fairbanks, Morse Co. as experimental engineer in Diesel Engine design. Mrs. Robbins has charge of the women’s physical educational work. The Park College library, a gift of the Carnegie Corporation, contains more than 35,000 volumes of books and over 12,000 volumes of bound magazines. An important part of the library is the Car ' negie collection of works of art. Park is a member of the American College Society of Print Collectors. Miss Alice M. Waldron has been librarian at Park for more than five years, coming here from Reed College, Portland, Oregon. She was granted her B.Ph. degree by Iowa State University and her B.S. degree from Simmons College. M iss Frances Fishburn, a Park graduate, is assistant librarian. Alice M. Waldron Leon A.

At present there are about forty ' five members. Each member is vitally interested in his work and is doing his best con ' tmually to raise the standards of his department. During the past year frequent meet ' mgs of the faculty have been held and special committees have labored to revise and improve the curriculum. In order to keep abreast of the times a college must keep in constant contact with the latest advancements and movements in education. Park is doing just that. Research in the various departments has been done and statistics have been gathered which will aid in bringing about the construction of a curriculum which will offer the best in college instruction that can be obtained in any school the sice of Park. In the previous pages, due to lack of space, no mention was made of the Art Depart ' ment. It is by no means an insignificant part of the Park College program. Through the Carnegie corporation, there has been placed in the library a “Teaching Arts Cob lection, consisting of set of textiles, reproductions in photograph and color facsimiles of the greatest works of architecture, sculpture and painting, as well as original prints from the 16th century to the present. Also in the collection are more than 200 books of the art of every period and people. Mr. W. W. Rosenbaur and Mr. Austin Ketcham are instructors in art, offering courses in elementary drawing and design and in the history of art. Professor A. L. Wolfe offers a course in Greek Life and Art.

While the faculty carries on the work of instructing, another group of officers man ' age the business affairs of the college, carrying on necessary functions of administrative tasks without which it would be impossible for the school to continue. Mr. David M. Knight has been secretary of the Board of Trustees and business manager of the college since December, 1916. For a time he was professor of business law and accounting. Mr. Knight received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Washing ' ton and Jefferson College. He is secretary of the Executive, Finance and Investment, and Budget Committees of the Board of Trustees. He is a member of the American Association of University Instructors in Accounting and of Pi Gamma Mu. Mrs. Bess D. Shannon came here this year as secretary to the business manager. Several students, employed in the clerical work of the office, are under her direction. Miss Hazel Morrow, who was graduated from Park in 1927, is secretary to Dr. Hawley, a position which she has held since her graduation. Miss Alice B. Wimmell, class of ' 28, is secretary to the Dean. She has also acted as part ' time instructor in French. One of the most important positions among the administrative offices is filled by Mr. David T. Kuhn, financial field secretary. Mr. Kuhn has been with Park for three years, coming here in 1928 from Dubuque University. Before his employment at Dubuque he was a Home Missionary in the northwestern part of Canada and a pastor in the Min ' neapolis Presbytery in Minnesota.

Beers, Greene, McCluer, Young The important part the housemothers of the Park dormitories play in our college life should not be underestimated. The seven women who serve in this capacity do much to guide the students in their everyday college life. The excellent condition of the buildings under their care is evidence of the pride they take in their work. In addition to the seven housemothers there are two members of the faculty who serve as chaperons for two women’s dormitories. Miss Virginia Cole is in charge of Stephens and Miss Elsa Grueneberg is in charge of Terrace. Mrs. Bess Shannon, an administrative officer, is chaperon of Hilltop. Mrs. E. B. Guinn is hostess at Thompson Commons, the college dining hall. Miss Gladys Wakefield is dietitian. HOUSEMOTHERS Mrs. Sue V. Greene . . Woodward Hall Mrs. Ruth Schall .

We have endeavored to gather information from extensive investi¬ gation that will be of real significance and value for all time as an expression of the funda¬ mental ideals of our college. The construction of Park is unending. Like the stones of the new chapel that were once a part of old McCormick, the college is being ever moulded to meet demands of a changing age. Yet beneath the small and numerous additions we find firmly planted those principles that make of it a distinctive institution. These pillars of Park have grown out of the rock foundation of the charter, out of the ideals of such men as Colonel Park and Dr. McAfee, and out of the effor ts of the builders of our college. Faith, Knowl¬ edge, Labor, Character and Service are not only the pillars of Park but represent the fundamental ideals that Park attempts to develop in each student. In discovering them, the editor gathered information from books on the history of the college and from faculty members, trustees, graduates and friends who were asked to state what they considered were the five most important principles of Park College that made it distinctly Park, a living and lasting institution. These truths are symbolized in pictures and words representing, we trust, a worth¬ while research, something that can be used as a measuring stick of our college’s aims, a statement of its objectives. Thus we present for your approval the theme of the builder, and the school, the five pillars of Park.

Shepherd ALUMNI The nature of our theme this year demands that we include an alumni section as a part of our yearbook. The process of construction of the pillars of Park does not stop at the open doors of the institution. Students equipped with Faith and Knowledge, who realise the dignity of Labor, and who are building Characters, move out into a world of Service among their fellow men. All of the other pillars are useless and weak unless they are purposeful. Service is an expression of this purpose. An alumni committee aided the Narva staff in select ' ing these eight men. There are scores of Park graduates who have done notable service in the world; hence, we were obliged to use some basis of selection which we believed would be fair. This has been Who ' s Who in America for 1931 . Perhaps we were wrong; there are many others who are just as deserving of such recognition; but it is obviously impossible to include everyone in this section. We hope that in following years the custom will be continued and that many others will be given a chance to appear among these pages. One of the foremost men in the world of banking is Fred N. Shepherd, executive manager of the American Bankers’ Association. Mr. Shepherd is a member of the class of 1900 and received the LL.D. degree from Park in 1925. Before entering the banking business Mr. Shepherd was a newspaper correspondent and was later engaged in the realty and underwriting business. He was cashier of the Empire National Bank of Lewis ' town, Idaho, and later held manager of the United States Chamber of Commerce. In 1922 he became executive manager of the American Bankers’ Association. He belongs to the Academy of Political Science and has written on economical subjects such as: “The Soil—Our Greatest Asset,’’ “Banker, Customer, and Community,” and “It’s Up to Us, Mr. Banker.” Mr. Shepherd is now living in New York City. A man very prominent in the publication work of the Presbyterian Church is Harold McAfee Robinson, who is the secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Christian Education. He served from 1923 to 1927 as secretary of the division of Christian Education in the Home, Church and Community, and since 1927 he has served as administrative secre ' tary of the Board. He is a member of the International Council of Religious Education and is now living in Philadelphia. He is a member of the class of 1901. “As I look back upon my undergraduate days in Park College,” says Dr. Robinson, “the thing for which I am most profoundly thankful is that in the whole life of the college, Christian principles and attitudes were normal.” ♦ H.

McAfee, a graduate in the class of 1884. Dr. McAfee is known by all Presbyterians as one of the leaders in the Pres¬ byterian Church in the United States of America. He received his Ph.D. degree from Westminster and his D.D. degree from Park. He was ordained into the Presbyterian ministry in 1888; was the professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy at Park from 1888 to 1901; and later held charges in New York and Chicago churches. In 1912 he became professor of Systematic Theology at the McCormick Seminary in Chicago. During the years 1924 and 1925 Dr. McAfee was with the Joseph Cook Foundations as a lecturer in India, Syria, Egypt, Siam, China, Korea and Japan. Dr. McAfee probably is best known as the moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1929-30. Dr. McAfee has written many books on theology, some of which are: “Where He Is,” “The Worth of a Man,” “The Tenth Commandment,” “The Greatest English Classic,” and “The Christian Message and Program.” He serves on the Editorial Staff of the Christian Endeavor World and is a director of the religious work department of the Y. M. C. A. He is now living in Chicago. In the realm of finance and economics we find a Park College graduate of the class of 1902 who has earned international fame for himself. Mr. Ernest Minor Patterson, now head of, and professor in, the department of Economics in the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania, where he came as assistant professor of economics in 1915, is a member of the class of 1902. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and began his educational career by taking a position in the Henry Kendal College of Muskogee as professor of Latin. Since that time he has held numerous positions of an educational nature, until he is now head of his department. He acted as visiting professor at the Institute Universitaire des Hautes Etudes Internationales at Geneva, Switzerland, in 1929. He is president of the American Academy of Political and Social Science and of the American Economic Association. During the summer of 1931 he will deliver a series of lectures at the Academy of Inter¬ national Law at the Hague, where courses in International law are given by professors, lawyers and historians from fourteen different countries. Dr. Patterson’s latest book, “The World’s Economic Dilemma,” is meeting universal acclaim. Dr. Patterson is now living in Philadelphia. ♦ E. M.

Gillette ALUMNI Prominent among the sociologists of today is John M. Gillette, a member of the class of 1892. Dr. Gillette was born at Maryville, Missouri, and received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago. In 1895 he was ordained and served as pastor of the Dodge City church until 1897- In September, 1907, he became head of the sociology department of the University of North Dakota. He is a member of the Child Labor Commission; The American Sociological Society; American Country Life Association; International Institute of Sociology; and an advisory member of the National Academy of AgrL culture of Czechoslovakia. Dr. Gillette has written much on Sociological subjects, many of his articles appearing in periodicals devoted to Sociology. His book, “Rural Sociology,” is being used as a reference here at Park. Dr. Gillette has the following to say of Park: “You may record me as believing in Park one hundred per cent. My appreciation of Park is so much greater than anything I am able to do to build her reputation or than anything I am able to say in trying to express it, that my statement seems dumb and opaque. I am glad to be numbered among the alumni of Park because of the contribution to the real manhood and womanhood Park has made to our nation and world. May she always succeed in terms of the success she has made in the past.” In the foreign mission Held Park College has many graduates, a large number of which are famous doctors and teachers. Many of the graduates of Park follow the call of the mission field; some spend their years in patient work among the natives in their field, while others are called to direct the work of the agency under which the missionaries are sent. Frank W. Bible, a member of the class of 1901, is now director of the field work of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. From 1904 to 1919 he was a mis ' sionary among the Chinese of Hangchow, China. Later he was secretary of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America until 1923, when he assumed the duties of the district secretary of the Board. At the present time Dr. Bible is just completing a very extensive tour through the foreign mission field, making a thorough survey of every corner of the field. He was granted the LL.D. degree by Park in 1926 and was graduated from the Auburn Theological Seminary, New York, and from Coe College in 1924. He is now living in Oak Park, Illinois, and has offices in Chicago. ♦ Frank W.

M. Wilson ALUMNI Educational work in a foreign field has given promi¬ nence to Lester M. Wilson. As an educator Dr. Wilson has spent some time in South America, where he was director of examinations and studies, or director general de instruccion of Lima, Peru, in 1921. Later he was director general of instruction for the Republic of Peru. Dr. Wilson is a member of the class of 1906 and re¬ ceived his A.M. degree from the University of Chicago in 1908. He then went to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, where he was a teacher of science in the Way land Academy. In 1909 he became a teacher of psychology in the University of Porto Rico, a position in which he remained until he went to the University of Wisconsin, where he was a graduate student and assistant in the psycho¬ logical laboratories. In 1913 and 1914 he was a teacher of psychology in the Wisconsin State Normal School at Whitewater. Dr. Wilson has held a place on the Wisconsin State Board of Public Affairs and also taught psychology at the Eastern Illinois State Normal School. In 1923 he became an associate professor of education in the Teachers’ College of Columbia University and is now a professor of education there. Professor Henry N. Wieman of the class of 1907 is a professor of philosophy of religion in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, where he has been since 1927. Dr. Wieman has been prominent in religious educational work since he became a professor of philosophy at Occidental College in 1917- He has been a student at the San Francisco Theological Seminary, at the Universities of Jena and Heidelberg, and at Harvard, where he received his Ph.D. degree. He has written such books as, “Reli¬ gious Experience and the Scientific Method,” “The Wrestle of Religion With Truth,” and “Methods of Private Religious Living.” Dr. Wieman says, “If the meaning of Park is caught by her children they will live in such a way as to weave the lives of all men into a single fabric, so that the goal which each man seeks and cherishes in all his efforts will be a part of that seamless web which includes the cherished ends of all. Thus each will be able to share in the values of all others and each will share in the ills of others likewise. Thus each man will find in all his labors and sorrows and joys the meaning of a vast community, lending to the passing days of his little life a dignity and grandeur that will make them worthy of every sacrifice. His joys will never be the mere pleasures of a moment, but will be the splendor of far possibilities and remote historic achievement.” ♦ iJOD H. N.

It is then the distinct duty of that officer to encourage the welhbemg of the organization and to fulfill his office efficiently and well. To hold a student body position has been considered one of the highest honors granted by the student body at Park, and is one most difficult to fill capably and adequately. The activities of the Park College student body as an organization rest in the mam agement of four elected officers who, together with the representatives from the athletic association, the forensic council, the Stylus, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., and a representative from each of the four college classes, comprise the student council. This committee promotes student activities and cooperates with the administration in the enforcement of general regulations of the college, representing the student body as a whole at all times.

Alone as he wings high, Too proud to seek protection of a crowd, Or feathered kin come nigh. The lowly teal may have his motley flocks; The proud seeks solitude. The lone marauder seeks no aid, and mocks At binding gratitude. For, they that live alone, man, bird, or beast, Are kings in their domain, And, if they rule not others, they at least Endure no other ' s reign. —Sam Milligan. SEVENTH MILLENIUM This dabbler, this upstart mankind, Will he still try his strength against the world? Sad, weary centuries of doubt and fear. Weak souls whose very God grows sick and old, Whole nations with a brown taste on their tongues. And are we proud of these? Yet we are strong, For in us there will be until we die That vaunt we made in Eden long ago Through some brave fool, the forbear of our race, Who struck this frightful bargain for us all. HalFcarelessly, he laid audacious hands On knowledge (bitter two-edged brand!) and shook It fiercely in the craggy teeth of earth, And said, henceforth my name in Man! —Delmer Rodabaugh. FALLING SPRINGS Away deep in the heart of the woods Shielded by tall elms and friendly oaks A miniature falls dashes and splashes over green ledges Into the pool below. Along the sides haughty, graceful willows Sway in the vagrant breezes, And green grasses lean over the edges To see the patterns of frothy foam. —Dorothy Studdard.

The turbid Missouri comes down from the mountains, And hurries away to the sea,- the swift serpentine river. Through forests of cottonwood, whirls,- Below us the hum of a city is wafted, And smoke from its furnaces curls. —From Visions of Narva’’ by Paxton. LABOR Alone he built his temple, built it out of stone, constructed pillars for support, and later on a roof . . . putting into form cool labors of his mind. Alone he turned the furrow, saw what Faith could do for Labor, saw what harvest might await him, found what pleasure comes with effort.

The only debate lost was the final one in the pre-seasonal tournament in December. Albert Tener and Theron Ashby represented Park at the pre-seasonal meet, winning twelve debates and placing second in the tournament. Tener and Ashby also defeated Phillips University in the first debate of the men’s league series. Tener and Magers defeated Central College of Fayette, Mo., and Southwestern University of Los Angeles, California. These two men represented Missouri Beta Chapter in the provincial Pi Kappa Delta convention at Fulton in April. Magers and Vanice participated in a non- decision tournament at Maryville in February. Brandner took part in debates with Kirksville, Maryville and Phillips University. Tener won second place in extempore at the convention at Fulton. Professor John Earnes coached the squad throughout the season.

Throughout past years, he has coached several Park students to national prominence, and to him should be given the primary credit for Park’s oratorical achievements. Lowell Ditzen with his oration, “America Adrift,” won first place in the Harry S. Jewett contest. George McEwen, through the ineligibility of Ditzen, represented Park in the State Old Line contest. In his stirring oration, “The Enemy of the People,” McEwen told of the evils of the machine age with a persuasive appeal not soon forgotten. In this contest McEwen won the right to represent Missouri in the interstate contest held at Park in April. William Young represented Park in the State Peace contest at Fayette, Mo., in November.

With the five pillars of Park as a foundation, John Slaymaker and his staff have built the 1931 Narva. Believing that Faith, Knowledge, Labor, Character and Service are the true Pillars on which Park College was founded, the 1931 Narva has tried to set them forth classically adorned, and has shown how they form the real basis of our college and of our campus life. The editor-iivchief and the business manager were elected by the student body in the spring of 1930. Try-outs were held by the editor in the fall and the selected staff has worked on the book the entire year. Miss Virginia Cole has been the faculty advisor. The 1931 Narva is fundamentally a serious book, intended to inspire its readers with respect for the institution it represents. Activities, organizations and bits of campus tragedy and comedy have been combined into this volume, and it is the earnest hope of the staff that it meets the approval of the faculty, student body, and alumni.

The true musician often builds his dreams with beautiful music, seeking to express the finest qualities of human character and emotion in the notes of his instrument. Park College helps to foster such expression in music through the ParkTawrence Band, an organization that has become an enjoyable part of Park College life. Professor Claude O. Rader of Kansas City has supervised this organization for several years. This year Jean Faurot is the student director and Robert Balderson the business manager.

M. and Y. W. C. A. operetta, “The Mikado.” The very spirit of the season seemed to be echoed in its lilt ' ing melodies and gay costumes. The title-role was taken by Donald Cowgill, whose deep voice was especially effec¬ tive in such a part. Dale Bartlett, as Ko-Ko, was pompous, and yet sufficiently weak in the hands of Katisha to afford humor. Norma Parry, as Katisha, gave a skilled per¬ formance that made her the center of attention whenever she appeared. The usually disconsolate Nanki-Poo and the charming Yum-Yum, whom he won only after many harassing trials, were Ralph Waggoner and Dorothea Whysong. Theron Ashby inter¬ preted the part of Pooh-Bah, the humor role, by most skillfully playing the parts of a dozen persons at once. Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo were sung by Alice Pitts and Ruth Jepson, with Henry Young as Pish-Tush. Elizabeth Davis directed the operetta, and is to be com¬ mended for the successful production. Much of the suc¬ cess was due to the efforts of Doris Baker in directing the staging of the operetta, in which she was assisted by George Sweet and Frank Prather. Especial recognition is due to the contribution of the orchestra, and its director, Jean Faurot, and to the skillful piano accompaniment of Hazel Blackman.

The story was simply a cross-section of life and a true portrayal of personality. Audrey Piper, given excellent interpretation by Theron Ashby, was the show-off- liar, braggart and egotist, the very consistency of whose faults made him strong. Before the play was finished he even made us like him. He invariably supported himself by bluffing his way through. But before the curtain fell, he rose above all difficulties by securing a remarkable contract for the young inventor of the family with himself—self-appointed, of course—as manager. || The difficult role of the sorely-tried mother-in-law of the show-off, Mrs. Fisher, was skillfully handled by Norma Parry, while Amy, the wife of the show-off, was admirably portrayed by Alice Pitts. Alice Boorem played the role of Clara, the unhappy, married sister of Amy. Other parts of the play were taken by Irvine Walker, Franklin Bruce, Clifford Backstrom, William Robb, and Albert Tener. Miss Esther Sullivan directed the production. Business and stage management were under the direction of Allison Lowe and Harry Turner.

The Gymnasium Players launched as their first production August tus Thomas’ “Witching Hour,’’ a really ambitious attempt on the part of the Sophomores and one which was really successful. The play is one of supernaturalism, dealing with the influence of human minds through the power of suggestion. Clay Whipple, played by Francis Vanice, kills Tom Denning (Dan Brandner) while obsessed with a strange, abnorm al fear of a jewel with which Denning has been tormenting him. The act of freeing him implicates in murder his prosecuting attorney, the deep-dyed villain, played by Malcolm Magers, and secures the sympathy and co-opera¬ tion of Justice Prentice (Edwin Withington), all of which is accomplished by Jack Brookfield, the uncle of the girl (Mary Beth Hickman) to whom Whipple is engaged. “Uncle Jack” (John Schofield) possesses a strange hynotic power. During the trial he remains at home and puts all his faith on influencing the jury by means of this power. When the news is finally brought that Whipple has been freed, one has the feeling that “Uncle Jack” has accom¬ plished the impossible. He receives his reward when Whipple’s mother, an old sweetheart, played by Eloise Ebert, consents to marry him. Other parts were taken by Paul Hostetter, Mary Bess Markward, Robert Ritchie, Robert Mayne, John Long and Robert Lutz. Much credit is due Miss Alice Wimmell, as director, and to Lowell Ditzen and George Sweet as pro- Withington as Justice duction and stage managers.

The lines were full of humor and sympathy. Thomas Hall, as Grumpy, may have been eccentric, but there was nothing wrong with his detective work when it came to a question of rescuing the diamond so that the sterling, but unromantic hero, Aubrey Young, might marry Grumpy’s lovely grand ' daughter, Harriet Cressey. The only clue old Grumpy had to follow was provided by the villain, Hugh White, who wore a white camelia, around the stem of which Mildred Waid, the maid, had tied a hair. The question seemed to be “Who has the Camelia?” But Grumpy solved it, with the aid of Ruddock, his valet (Carl Dallinger), in a way satisfactory to all—except, perhaps, the villain. The cast was well adapted to the parts. Other menv bers were Keith Fitch, Thomas Perry, Albert Fulling, Earl Clark and Betty Tinnin. The relation of each to Grumpy tended to produce a unified whole which conveyed just the right attitude toward the old man. The play was directed by Miss Esther Sullivan, while business and stage management were under the direction Thomas Hall as Grumpy of LaVerne Ross and Phillip Humphreys.

The dramatic program of 193031 included the annual Theta Alpha Phi inter-class one-act play contest. These plays are entirely student produced, each class casting and presenting a play of its choice. The highest honors were awarded this year to the Fresh¬ men class, who presented “The Monkey’s Paw.’’ “Trifles,’’ produced by the Juniors, and “The Stoker,” presented by the Sophomores, tied for second place; while the Senior play, “The Threshold,” ranked next. “The Monkey’s Paw” carried the always-favored “three wishes” theme, with a touch of the supernatural. Clifford Leach, as the old father, and Dorothy McAdow, as the mother, carried the principal roles. They were ade¬ quately supported by Philip Warden, Merritt Peterson and Joe Jackson. The production staff consisted of August Harris, Paul Johnson, Carol Pearson, Eugene Pool and Philip Humphreys. Much commendable acAng was done in the plays pre¬ sented by the other classes. Especially notable was the work of Alice Boorem and Edwin Withington. In the Senior play, Isabel Blacklock accomplished a difficult dou¬ ble role. Each production showed outstanding features. These inter-class one-act plays are judgbd on the basis of choice of play, casting, stage setting and lighting, make¬ up, interpretation of roles, and artistic finish.

Last September six students who had co-operated in the production of the 1930 freshmen contest play decided to organize the Gymnasium Players, a non-profit dramatic club, without officers. In December the organization was granted a charter by the administration. The Players’ aim is to supplement Theta Alpha Phi in providing a better dramatic season each year at Park. In general, the activity program includes the production of at least one play each semester. In December the Gymnasium Players presented “The Witching Hour,” by Augustus Thomas. This play was given for the benefit and in co-operation with the sophomore class. As the Narva goes to press, preparations are being made for another production, “You and I,” a comedy by Phillip Barrie. This organization carefully limited its membership in order to provide for greater facility in dramatic work and extends membership at the end of each semester. Selection is made on the basis of merit and services rendered.

Terraced lawns and flowers, Old halls mid sylvan screens, Adorn this fairest college, The College of My Dreams. Its works shall live forever, They shall fit into the schemes Of the God who watched, who helped, who blessed The College of My Dreams. —ANNA BELLE PETERSON. [ 108 ] KITH CHARACTER He rises from a void of darkness, holding in his hand the shining bowl of life. Faith, Labor, Knowledge, all have made of him a man whose Character can brighten path¬ ways of accomplishment. He strives to live as Faith would have him live.

It is only through individual perseverance that members have been able to achieve this scholastic position, for membership is re ' stricted to the Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty, to those who were first honor graduates of Park, and to the ten per cent of the senior class who stand highest in scholar ' ship during their entire college career.

Those eligible for membership in this organization are all inter ' collegiate orators and those members of the debate squad who have debated for two or more years. Park has an enviable record in both debate and oratory. This year her men debaters won all but two decisions, while the women made a complete list of inter- collegiate victories. In the field of oratory Park’s representative won the right to repre¬ sent the State of Missouri in the Regional Contest. In accordance with its aim. Pi Kappa Delta sets and maintains a high standard of eligibility, encouraging keen competition, and fostering a spirit of fair play and friend¬ ship in all intercollegiate forensic activities.

The members of this organization possess proved dramatic ability and their program includes the annual presentation of a Theta Alpha Phi play. They also sponsor a one- act play contest between the four college classes. OFFICERS Don Feerer. President Augusta Kimpton .... Secretary - Max Coleman .... . Treasurer MEMBERS Ralph Blackman Dean W.

Above the pillars of Character and Service we might see a glorious, multicolored group of six vaulting shafts, two of which are ornamented with purple and gold in rich tracery, another two combining the brown and gold of autumn with the green and white of spring, and the remaining two decorated charmingly with the blue and blue, light and shadow. Even as these colors are emblematic of the groups that wear them, so the general idea of the literary clubs is symbolic of the fraternal activity of the college. The emphasis is on the social and athletic events as well as on literary accomplishments. To the new student at Park, the clubs present an interesting question, “Which one would I enjoy?” The attitudes, the interests, the personalities of the older mem ' bers, all these are influential in their choice. And after rushing, sign up! Suspense, triumph, hilarity, and then a hike into the woods for the remainder of the celebration. If one were to follow the activities of the clubs, he would see the adjustment of the new members and note their participation with the other members in the varied programs and events of the year.

The pillar of Faith has grown into the aspirations of the Student Volunteers, creat ' ing in them an active interest in foreign missionary service. As an organization which is a part of a national movement, they seek to prepare themselves for a life on the foreign field, or in some kind of missionary work. The immediate objective of the local band is to stimulate interest and activity among students.

The vaulting shafts of the Gothic arch, blending so well into the maze of tracery make it almost impossible to find which Pillar is carried through. This merging of the Pillars is the fundamental principle of the Wakefield Science Club. Its aim is to secure an interrelation of the different science groups—physical, natural, domestic and social. Thus the members of the specific groups gain a knowledge of science as a unity. Valuable lectures, reports and the results of investigation are brought to the meetings by pro ' fessors and students.

We may find such an organization as Le Cercle Francais among the vaulting shafts of Knowledge. Through this association all students of French may gain practice in conversation and an insight into the music, literature and drama of the French people. French customs furnish unlimited material for study. First Semester Elizabeth Davis Dorothy Stevenson Gertrude Murray .

No field of college activity offers a better opportunity for developing good sportsmanship and honor, as expressed in the pillars of Character and Service. Since its establishment, the Men’s Athletic Association has had for its purpose the betterment of the athletic life of the college and has sponsored various athletic activi- ties, with the general welfare of the entire student group in view. The results of these efforts can be glimpsed in a hurried trip around the campus. A new athletic field has been laid out, the old one has been reconditioned, several new tennis courts have been added and the gymnasium has been modernized. However, the association has had an even greater influence on the athletic life of the campus than on the change in equipment. Through the cooperation of the admin- istration a system of annual varsity sweater awards for all-round athletic accomplish¬ ments has been adopted and the advantages of physical training have been extended to a majority of the students. The following men have been elected as officers of the organization: Don Feerer, president; Harold Murphy, treasurer; Dick Parkhurst, secretary; L. A. Robbins, adviser; Burton Scheib, Webster member; Elmer Sheaff, Lowell member; Jerome Wilson, Parche- vard member.

Just as the gun was fired, Lowe launched a shot that was a success and ended the game 25 to 23. The Webster team was captained by Don Feerer. This squad was doped to finish no better than second because of comparative lack of weight and height, but they won the series with a brand of team playing which depended on no one man. Harold Murphy led the purple and gold Parchevards, a team that included two letter men and three of the freshman stars of the class series.

Feerer was picked as captain-coach. Statistics show that Webster team scored an average of 29.6 points per game, while the Parchevard five averaged 25.2 points, and the Lowels 20.6 points.

The senior quintet finished second, losing only to the yearlings. The sophomores came in third, while the juniors finished a poor fourth. Although the first classmen came out on top, it was not without a hard struggle. The seniors, led by Don Feerer, were close behind them, and it was not until the final whistle of the last game that the freshmen were certain of the championship. Their victories over the sophomores and juniors were due more to the excellent shooting of Lowell Craig and Earl Lusk, aided by the splendid defensive work of Thomas Marshall, than to the teamwork of the entire quintet. However, when the freshmen needed points they usually tightened down and showed signs of organization. In the first tilt against the sophomores they won by a 17T5 score, while the junior count was 17T6 in favor of the freshmen.

A re¬ conditioned diamond indicates the interest in this sport. Last spring the Parchevard team won the club baseball championship by defeating the Websters in the final game of the year. Led by Captain Dick Heu they piled up an enviable record of six victories and only two defeats. Second place was won by Web¬ ster team, who finished the season with three victories, a tie and three defeats. Lowells, handicapped by the loss of several valuable players from the previous year’s squad, lost five games, played one tie game and won a single contest. The Parchevard team was not only superior to the other teams both in hitting and in fielding, but they also seemed to play most consistently.

Last spring this meet was won by Lowell Club, which scored 61 points against 44 for Webster and 31 for Parchevard. A wet field and a soggy track prevented the men from establishing new records in the track events, but Harry Turner, captain of the Parchevard team, set a new Park record in broad jump, leaping twenty-one feet. Turner also won first place in the javelin, the discus and the high jump, making him high point man, scoring twenty-three points. Max Coleman of the Lowell team tied with Berry Hill, Webster, for second highest individual honors, winning both the 220- and 440- yard dashes. Berry Hill captured the 50- and 100-yard sprints.

Although facing a strong head wind, he ran the hard course in 23 minutes and 5 seconds. Despite Harris’s easy win, the final decision as to just which team would carry off the club honors was in doubt for some time. At first it was thought that Lowell Club had won, but as one of their number was running for the first time as a Park student he was declared ineligible. Fred Morris of the Parchevard Club crossed the line in second place, 200 yards behind Harris. Canady, captain of the Lowell team, was third, 20 yards behind Morris. It was the plucky running of Dan Brandner and John Long that really gave the victory to the Webster Club. Coming around the road below Mackay, they found themselves behind a group of Blue and Blue runners. Both men sprinted ahead to finish in sixth and ninth places, respectively, thus assuring the Webster team of victory in the final check-up. . Wf A ■ . Brandner, Long, Harris, Spencer, Umino.

Sheaff proved a capable partner. Riggs and Long rallied time and again with clever placement shots and terrific smashes down the center of the court. In the sixteenth game of the third set the score went to deuce six times on Long’s service before the sophomore combination brought the score to 8-8. At this point the under- classmen weakened and the Sheaff-Tener combination took the next two games to win the match. Richard Parkhurst and Charles Campbell won the spring tennis doubles tournament of 1930. Albert Tener was defeated in the finals of the singles tournament by William Miller. With the introduction of the physical education department into the curriculum Park offers another opportunity for student activity and expression. Professor L. A. Robbins began the program of this organization with six weeks’ instruction in baseball, following this with soccer and tumbling. It is the aim of Pro¬ fessor Robbins to instruct each member of the class so well in the sports that he is able to coach after graduation. During the winter months tumbling, marching and Indian club drills were taken up. This class not only offers a training for future teachers, but provides better material for class and club contests. Students that have no intention of teaching have taken the course because of its instructional value and opportunity for athletic expression along lines not usually taken up in intramural activities. Much credit is due Professor R. A. Robbins in making the program a success. Next year he plans to add several fea¬ tures to the course, gradually building the department into a well established athletic organization.

It provides for the actual expression of good sportsmanship, honor and loyalty. The Women’s Athletic Association was organized to encourage the college women to enter more actively in campus athletics. Its membership is open to all college women who have participated in any of the major sports during the school year. The association sponsors contests in hockey, volley ball, soccer and tennis. This year the newly organized depart ' ment of physical education cooperated with it in enlarg ' ing the range of athletic opportunity on the campus, and since that time there has been an increasing interest in women’s sports. Mrs. L. A. Robbins is instructor in physical education. OFFICERS OF W. A. A.

Athletic achievement among women is now recognized at Park by the granting of college sweaters and letters by the Women’s Athletic Association. The awards are made according to a point system based upon active participation in athletics and the practice of good sportsmanship at all times. It is the plan of this system to use the university scheme in which 1,000 points are necessary to earn the award. Because opportunity was lacking heretofore in women’s athletics, only 550 was considered necessary this year. This number will be enlarged to 750 next year and gradually increased each year until the goal of 1,000 points is reached. These points are awarded for every intramural athletic activity of the college women, with extra points for the members of the winning team as well as the selected alb star teams. Under such rigid requirements the award of a Park sweater and letter becomes a coveted honor, repre ' senting true athletic achievement. This year three Senior women have earned the award, Elizabeth Broadbent, Helen Burns and Marion Burkwall.

This year the Eurodelphians came off easy winners in the tournament, winning every game in which they participated. The captain of the brown and gold team was Betty Broadbent, outstanding forward, who displayed exceptional ability in making goals. The Calliopean team was led by Anna Belle Chambers and the Lucernes were captained by Marguerite Witt. At the close of the season, the Stylus promoted the selection of an alhstar girls’ basketball team. Marguerite Witt, Lucerne, and Elizabeth Broadbent, Eurodelphian, were selected for forwards. They were the high scorers in the tournament. For jumping center, Bernice Dunlap, Eurodelphian, was selected, while Sue McMillan was the choice for running center. She is a Lucerne. The guards were Alice Oien and Alice Schmidt, both Eurodelphians.

After a strenuous practice season, lasting several weeks, teams were selected from the three clubs for a hockey tournament. Grace Long captained the Eurodelphians; Margaret Medill, the Lucernes; and Mary Brown, the Calliopeans. The Calliopeans cinched the title by winning three games and losing none.

Believing that they do deserve a little grapenuts along with salt and pepper of humor, we have endeavored to include a section in this year’s Narva that cannot be called humor nor can it be called seriousness. It is really a little of each done up in a small bundle. We know that much of this section will “Borum” but we hope that some of it will Pleasum.” “Gold Dust, a story, is written by one who is well acquainted with customs and folklore of the Orientals. Then, “The Mirror of America,’’ is written in all seriousness by a Per¬ sian student in our midst. Among the grapenut article we have included “What’s the Matter With Evil?’’ and “But, Oscar, Is It Art? Address correspondence to our Rostrum. [ 106 ] BUT, OSCAR, IS IT ART? By DON FEERER Chin in palm he looked at me, and with blank gravity uttered the diurnal query of his ilk, “Pretty, yes, Oscar, but is it art? My fingers clutched convulsively around the neck of the heavy bottle on the window sill. Then, though 1 faced the open window for a split second only, something arrested my terrible purpose. A flicker of light flashed through the fog of my rage. I looked again. The sunlight lay warm on the trees and lawn below—a cardinal lilted a jaunty note and rocketed away to his next engagement. Slowly releasing my deadly grasp and maintain¬ ing a brilliant and profound silence all the while, f sank into my chair. It was not the kind of day that one kills people unless one happens to be saving something for democracy or preserving a moral truth. After a time I pulled myself together and pointing to a bare spot on the floor, said, “Be seated, stultitious fool.’’ His name was Ernst Ernst Ernst III. And, scarcely knowing that he had walked in the valley of the shadow, Ernst III sat. “Well, Oscar,” I said to myself. “You must rationalize concerning the cause of this rage to save your equilibrium for there isn’t an aspirin in the house. You may listen if you care to, Ernst III,” I added. Taking a firm hold on my racing pulse I began to soliloquize. “What we call art,’’ I growled, “are those things which thrill our senses and stimulate our reason with the simul¬ taneous presentation of a harmonious whole: those things which make us totally alive; not simply a suggestion to a single sense but a harmonizing impetus to the beholder’s entire imaginative being. “But this doesn’t tell what art is. . . Only what it does! We may identify the means and ends of art in a measure, but after this point, we pass into such a maze of substantiable conten¬ tions that delirium impends. We know, how¬ ever, that advancement in science, or anything else, is based upon man’s ability to classify and to correlate his classifications. Art provides the most subtle of problems, and therefore its classifi¬ cations are rightfully less absolute and more arbitrary. But because we divine the relativity of truth, are we to give up thinking? In such case our ultimate aim would be an infinite Cala- banish quiet ... an oblivion of mind. We do not have to go far to find examples of unresisting degeneration into just such mental ennui. I have heard a college man pause to remark with weary tone, ' It’s funny how complicated things become when you begin to study the workings of the mind, when life is so simple actually.’ A large proportion of the populace has answered this problem by selecting a few least common de¬ nominators applicable to everything in lieu of thought. This system divides the universe into [ 167 ] great, cute, common, different, hot, stuff, screwy and haywire. Admittedly there are certain simplicities upon which life is based. For instance, a man finds that he is hungry and the knowledge causes him to go to work for the rest of his life. But when we ask, ‘Art, what is it, and where does it come from?’ we move from visceral cravings to complex hungers of the mind. All art is different as are all brains and finger prints, and every contribution adds to the heterogenity of its appeal. Turning to the supreme motivations or sources of art we find that they vary from the Darwinian instinct’ to attract others, which is sartorially capitalized by male fowls and female humanity to man’s conscious desire to obtain an image of the intangible or spiritual part of him¬ self. Definitions of what art is range from any¬ thing which has specified form to anything which conduces to synaesthetis or total sense per¬ ception. I like this last idea simply because it makes art something to be attained by being a whole man, which is certainly better than being part of a man. “However, after considering the range of possibilities, we begin to feel that probably an evaluation of art is almost entirely a discussion of the survival value of everything which ha s already made good its right to survive. And, this stage reached, there is usually an Ernst III ready to bob up and ask ‘What is art?’ with a nasal twang that causes our entire case to collapse. Anyway, we have a sneaking notion that most creation comes from a desire to make additions . . . to paint the prettiest landscape, to tell the most powerful story, to grow the largest gall stones. “Yes, the motivations of art are engrossing and esoteric. Their deterents, however, are legion, obnoxious and extremely tangible. Chief Originality is a matter of selection Woman looking at martyr among them are those persons who do not know that it is better to be able to see than to remember what has been said to them about art—such people as would be unmoved by a Diana just out of the woods but would go thousands of miles in the company of fellow culture clutchers to see her in a museum. ‘‘Next come the searchers for influences who do not know that the material with which the writer or painter works is no more a creation of his own than the sculptor’s marble, and that he is attempting a collaborative addition not the discovery of a new atom! We must also include Oliver Wendell Smith who bleats. ‘With me it would be a matter of pride as well as principle not to cross the street to look at the most skillful specimen of ancient nude art.’ Then there are the people who chirp, ‘Truth is beauty,’ as a profundity needing no application. It is possible that a flower is lovely without being true or false. It is silent. If there were such a thing as absolute truth it would be infinite, and we know that the forms we call beautiful are transient. Women get fat or thin: it is youth that is beauti¬ ful. ‘‘From these esthetical atrocities let me turn to a couple of literal and anti-artistic nuisances who deserve damnation. One is the ear breather who leans over the artist ' s shoulder and puffs expect¬ antly in the vain hope of seeing something take form. The other is the anatomic statistician who, beholding a figure barely sketched, gasps. ‘Where are the ears? Isn’t he going to have any toes? Where’s his watch chain? Who ' s it going to be?—Do I know him?’ This phylum should be meticulously crippled and then given the Youth ' s Companion to read for the rest of its life so it wouldn’t take it too hard. ‘‘Everyone knows that pictures are the putting together of masses, lines and color in a relation- [ 168 ] ship which, if fine, is harmonious and beautiful. They also have so many pictures with which to practice discrimination that detailed advice would be tedious. Nearly every home has an Age of Innocence, The Horse Fair, The Lone Wolf, Hobbema ' s Avenue of Middleharnais, a land¬ scape with sheep and figures, an evening effect, a Norman Bull, and a total or partial abstraction. As for the cubists, I believe they do much more convincing work in the total abstraction. There is also the matter of proper exploitation of the medium. For instance, the cool, bare strength of a statute might become a cigar store Indian if subjected to polychromy as a canvas. I also think of a bronze cat I once saw that stares at one with the expressionless but wholly alert scrutiny of he r race. No other medium could have formed that cat. “And what of the artists themselves? Beauty is beauty, as bad is bad or pink is pink. It is as the finely touched and judicious see it. The most an artist can hope for is to be finely touched. Since art means passion, and since all passion has a touch of wildness, it might be that some are too much gentlemen to be artists. Ruskin is probably right when he says, ‘The artist should be fit for the best society but keep out of it.’ “Some day we may look back upon our artists as the incurable children of the earth—makers of dolls—representatives of a race which cannot perfect itself, and so, like children, substitutes images for its ideals. Art drives one mad. It moves one to create more often than it endows one with the power. One’s art may be as hope¬ less as it is relentless, however, it is happy in the main. And if the artist finds himself gazing upon beauty with nothing in himself to say— if he be short on art—he may simply let his hair grow and enlarge his tie until a balance is regained . . .” Snapping myself erect, I bellowed: “Ernst, Ernst, Ernst III, are you asleep?” He did not answer. He was.

Figure with feet—a partial abstraction [ 109] EATING—AN ART OR A SCIENCE? By DELMAR RODABAUGH Editor ' s Note .—These articles appear in an¬ swer to a long-felt need. We have received floods of letters demanding information on this sub¬ ject. How, they ask, in agonized (and mis¬ spelled) accents, “can we go on eating thrice daily unless we know how to regard it? “What shall we do?” One says, “If the Forum doesn’t solve our eating problem, must we go ahead and eat at the Commons? Well, why not? Often the Commons doesn’t solve the eating problem and you have to go ahead and eat at the Forum. I. SCIENCE HAS MADE THE COMMONS WHAT IT IS TODAY By Merle Jackson Gastronomy at this college is purely a problem in dynamics—so many computable calories dis¬ tributed in the dining room; so many computable foot-pounds of energy released on the stairs; so many men injured in the rush for places. The Commons has existed for four years. It feeds 317.7 students (12 of these can play Flinch). Its mean height is 5.3333 feet. With the aid of these facts (i. e. For instance, let A equal a number between 8 and 16. Let B equal 5.3333 feet. Then if X equals some¬ thing else, perhaps 75 cents, the resultant rela¬ tion between A, B. and X is quite remarkable to say the least.), scientific procedure in eating is being established. No longer are chairs turned up in a haphazard manner; they are turned up methodically, at the proper angle to trip the waitresses. Nowadays nobody adopts a preoc¬ cupied manner in stiff-arming competitors who are looking for food. The act is given a finality. The work table functions as a training school so that our Freshmen learn to guzzle soup with more dispatch and promptness. Table-conversa¬ tion is broadened by the introduction of foreign phrases: “Er ist ein Unmensch” goes much bet¬ ter than the worn out “He ' s an ass. And there is a movement on foot to distribute casta¬ nets, so as to better discourage the daily an¬ nouncements of Stentor McEwen and Henderson Young. II. EATING AT THE COMMONS IS AN ARTISTIC ENTERPRISE By Robert Ransom Of beauteous waitresses, and hostesses like very queens, sing heavenly Muse! Of nectar poured from dented pitchers, of chipped glass goblets, sing, heavenly Muse! What an art it is to eat at the Commons! Such romance, such action, such color! Above all, the color! Not to mention the lovely gowns of the women, consider Bennett like a lily of the field, Wakeman and his hand-painted cravat! Consider the half-score of men with flamboyant salmon ties! Consider the score and-a-half of flamboyant men with no ties! Yes, here is where the true artist may seek his materials. Does he wish to write a tale of horror, full of cruelty and evil? What better characters are there to use than our own fierce, heartless rascals? A horror story would begin like this: Now of the wraths and dooms that fell upon young men in lustrums long ago, when White- side and his angels strong were here and smote with heavy brooms, I do not know. And of those dim things recorded of the table of the Men Who Work I cannot speak, for these are sealed with seven seals. But hear of what I say, O men of heavy minds, for now I speak on what may come once more. The Sinister Companions were we called, and rightly so. For with us there was the Teuton Waggoner, true child of the Black Forest, in¬ scrutable with his locked mysteries of the North¬ ern Seas. And with us there sat Armentrout, (Continued on page 185) [ 170 ] THE MIRROR OF AMERICA By MEDDY H. FARCHI When I was in kindergarten my first geography teacher referred to America as a new world. I. therefore, thought that America must be a coun¬ try in which everything was new and nothing in the new world was old. Later this childish conception was somewhat changed and I then began to believe that America was a land where all the people were red-skins—as red as lipstick. When I was fifteen my father called me to his office to meet the principal of an American high school in Talriz, Persia. He said he had made a special arrangement for me to play soccer foot¬ ball in the high school. I was very thrilled as I expected to meet a Red Man, but much to my surprise he was not red, but had a rather fair complexion. As my interest in America was increased by my father’s old friendship with the American mission, by the soccer game at American high school, and by the chocolate candies given me by nice young American Mission girls, I decided to complete my education in United States, in¬ stead of Europe. After a brief study of English language I left Persia for America. On my way to United States I wondered whether I would further change my ideas of American people. The chief worry was the problem of language. With the exception of the Commissioner General of U. S. Bureau of Im¬ migration, no one could understand me and be¬ sides the Persian consul, no one was able to speak my language. Although English is their language, they write it differently and read it differently and also give different meaning. The common language of the people of the United States is mostly slang. Each expression may have several meanings. For example, one rainy day an American told me I was all wet! I did not know whether he meant I was soaked with rainwater or I was really wet. Not only Americans use slang but often mis¬ name things. One morning in New York on a restaurant menu, I found the word grape fruit. I ordered it because I thought it would be grapes, but instead I found it was a large orange. Next day I ordered chicken fried steak and found it was only beef steak. My first experience in a New York movie was an interesting one. I was very thirsty. I saw a water fountain at the hall of the theater but I could find no way to turn it. Suddenly the usherette walked toward me and said in haste, Step on it. I thought she meant for me to leave so I began to go out. She called me back and said, By step on it, I don ' t mean leave. I mean step on the foot lever at the foun¬ tain, and push so the water will come out for you to drink. I found that the people of the United States are quite haphazardly mixed and are a mixture of good and bad. Some of them are prejudiced to the immigrants from their European countries that they claim to be their ancestors. I have found many narrow minded Americans, full of superiority complexes, full of selfishness and ignorant dispositions. I have seen many Americans misuse the word race. A flat and narrow American does not believe that there are only four major races in the world, but he be¬ lieves there are five and the fifth one is the United States race. On the other hand, I see that John D. Rocke¬ feller, Jr., has nearly spent ten million dollars for foreign students coming to the United States. He wants them to feel at home while studying in America. Let us not only take a rich American as example but some with average wealth. Let us look at Dr. and Mrs. Hawley. She treats the foreign students at Park campus as her own children. She always refers to Park College as their home. Therefore, by no means we foreigners could say that Americans are bad or they are good. They are both. Americans admit that in trade and industry the United States is the greatest nation in the world, but let us foreigners find that out for ourselves. Many moral problems exist in America. When I look through them from a foreigner’s view¬ point I sometimes feel sorry for America. There are the gangsters of Chicago underworld, the higher joints of California and gambling dens of New York. In fact, the daily crimes are far ahead of foreign countries. Money is partly responsible for both prosperity and wickedness of America. So are the standards of Education. The common American laborers are far more ignorant than most of the camel drivers of Persia! There are two reasons why an American edu¬ cation is best for most of the foreign students. (Continued on page 187) [171 ] THE OLD HOME TOWN By RICHARD GRUENDYKE The old home town—nothing like it. Every one of them has its bad streets, the village depot, and the local prima donna who sings at church bazaars and public festivals every time she is properly approached and sufficiently urged. Like other great American institutions the old home town is run, not by the elect, but the elected. The peasantry have a pet delusion that they assist in this privilege and honor, but about all they do is to levy taxes on themselves, their dogs, and other property, listen to the mayor’s inaugural address and write protests to “Vox Pop, the voice of the masses. There are three classes of people in the old home town, just as in Washington, New York, Kansas City, or Dog Tooth Point. The first and most aristocratic—exclusive, but not snob¬ bish—wear the good clothes, have the easy jobs with the easy sounding names, get off work early, retire to the golf links, and are bored with such an empty life. The second is like unto the first—but just the under dog, or the understudies. The third, and last, are those who do the dirty work. We have, of course, great social politics. If the Republicans are in full sway, the Democrats are wall-flowers for the sake of harmony. The taxpayers, saying nothing of Farm Relief and Muscle Shoals, split up and fight among them¬ selves as to whether or not the village flagstaff is to be painted. If the Democrats are in power the same thing happens except there is more free beer—out of the town treasury. There are always at least a half dozen churches, so no man can lose his religion for want of a pew. We always evince brotherly love because churches after all are human. We all try to have a larger church, a noisier pipe organ, a bigger membership or Sunday School attendance. And the one which furnishes the best and biggest eats usually wins. And like other road crossings, we have our rich man, our stingy man who walks on the other side of the street because he owes so much, the periodical drunkard, the habitual drunkard, the boy who made good, the society belle, the timid soul, the preacher whom the sinner be¬ lieves is drawing too big salary, the dangerous railroad crossing that is mentioned editorially in the weekly “Podunk Progressive,’’ the aban¬ doned canal, the new state highway, a mile and a half the other side of town, and the drug store on the corner where we buy overshoes and licorice drops. There is public sentiment too—not just rumor or gossip, you know. But if another man’s wife and the handsome traveling salesman are seen talking on the street somebody tells somebody else with the full understanding, of course, that the listener is not to say anything about it— and nothing can be done about it. Then there is the young woman whose en¬ gagement has been of long duration—just sweet¬ hearts from childhood; and the milliner who (Continued on page 192) 2 ] WHAT I BELIEVE FRED WAKEMAN Startling revelations depend not so much on the confessions of the revelator as the guilty conscience of the reader.

(A SOCRATIC DIALOGUE) By MILDRED WITT Editor ' s Note. —“Man ' s active nature, flag- ging, seeks too soon the level; Unqualified repose he learns to crave; Whence willingly, the com¬ rade him I gave, who works, writes, and must create the devil?’’ This quotation from Faust has aroused a suspicion in the minds of some of our collossal thinkers that there is something seriously the matter with our modern evil. It is undoubtedly present but it does not make us strive. What is wrong? Six prominent men engaged in newspaper work, education, debate, and advertising dine together and try to answer the question. Mr. F. (who is supposed to guide the con¬ versation)—What is the matter with Evil? Mr. A. (who is supposed to end humor) — There’s too much of it. Mr. D. (who is supposed to motivate argu¬ ment by disagreeing with the others)—On the contrary, there isn ' t enough. Mr. H. (who is supposed to lend seriousness) —It’s not good enough quality. Mr. W. (who is supposed to lend scholarly atmosphere, polishes his glasses). Mr. T. (whose youthful naivete prompts him to ask the fundamental question)—What’s the matter with What? Mr. F.—Evil, e-v-i-1. Mr. T.—And what may that be? Mr. F. (first astonished, then perplexed) — Oh, gosh, how’d you get in on this? Well, I’ll try to explain. Suppose you went to the Herr House party with a certain girl— Mr. T. (blushes, but don’t attach too much significance to it—be blushes rather easily) — Oh, but she hasn’t asked me yet. [ 174 ] Mr. F. (more patiently than you would have expected)—Well, then, some other girl. Mr. T.—I couldn’t. She bores me so much. Mr. F. (registering compassion)—Someone else tell him; I haven’t the heart. Mr. D. (aside to Mr. A)—Is he right bright? Mr. A. (in stage whisper, because he wants everyone to hear it)—Yes, but he ' s been study¬ ing between meals again and he isn’t himself. Mr. F.—We oughtn’t to talk about evil be¬ fore the youth. I wash my hands of the whole affair. Mr. H.—I think he’s old enough to know (turning to Mr. T. and speaking very gently) —Evil is movies on Sunday. Mr. R.—Late laundry on Monday. Mr. F.—Oatmeal on Tuesday. Mr. A.—Two tests and a term paper on Wednesday. Mr. T. (who has caught on to the drift of things at last)—Being broke on Thursday, having a library fine on Friday, and a slow date on Saturday. Mr. A.

Why not today?” Mr. F. (there is something like sarcasm in his voice)—Suppose Miss Waldron asks you to leave the library, be nonchalant, ‘‘light a Mu¬ rad.” Mr. D.: Have you had your sin today?” Mr. F.: Buy Copley Jokes; only 56 100 per cent pure.” Mr. A.: She thought ’What a slow stick the fellow is.’ but to be polite she said, ‘You’re so different.’ Mr. R.—Take your meals at Thompson Commons—tables for ladies. Mr. A. (with appropriate gestures—you know the kind—hands spread on swollen chest? Yeah, that s it)—We think this is going too far. Mr. F.—Are all of you agreed? Then you must be right. Mr. T.—Not at all; we’re just getting pepped up. Mr. D.—Come on. Everybody up. What’s the matter with evil? Chorus—It’s all right! Mr. D.—What’s all right? Chorus—Evil, it is, it is, it is all right. Mr. A. (with stern face, and in his earnestness forgetting whom he is addressing)—Gentlemen, gentlemen! Where is this leading? Mr. D. (who is always right there with the old appetite)—I’ll bite, where? Mr. A.—No impudence, young man. Mr. D. (you’ve been waiting for him to say this)—Oh, yeah? Who are you? Mr. A.—Why, you know me— Mr. F.—While the gentlemen get acquainted let’s go on with the discussion. Mr. H.—Well, if evil’s no good there ought to be a law against it. Mr. D.

Abolish evil? You GETTING A DEGREE By HELEN ROLLER There are ‘sanitoriums’ for the tubercular, homes for the friendless, asylums for the insane, and colleges for the wise and otherwise. In every instance the applicant must present refer¬ ences and proof that he is deserving of the bene¬ fits of the institution to which he applies for admittance. In the case of the wise or otherwise, he must submit to an entrance examination, the result of which is carefully recorded and a chart prepared for the individual. He is registered, and passed along the line of waiting “Dr.’s” who proceed to split his head in search of grammatical con¬ structions and probe his memory for long forgot¬ ten history dates. After half a dozen “Dr.’s” complete their individual examinations there is a consultation and the patient’s case is diagnosed. Usually the Doctors agree that the patient is suffering from complications. He is straightway put under observation which usually lasts about three years, sometimes longer, before a very definite ailment is pronounced. During the first year of observation the pa¬ tient is put on a suitable diet of English, science, and foreign languages: and given a tonic of Bible, mathematics and orientation. He is ex¬ amined quarterly, and it is sometimes necessary to cut down on the diet in lieu of the fact that it has proved too heavy for comfortable digestion and causes the patient considerable distress. Con¬ jugation of irregular verbs is known to cause serious epidemics resulting in appalling fatalities, if not religiously watched and instantly cared for in the proper manner when symptoms of the trouble are first noticed. During the second and third years, after the patient’s mental constitution has been so built up that he is able to take nourishment for him¬ self, he is allowed to take, sparingly at first, such nourishment as he thinks will be palatable, until at last, after tasting almost everything on the bill of fare that looks good to him, he settles down to a steady diet of mathematics, science, psychology, or whatever best agrees with him. During the period of his tasting this and that and the other thing, he is under constant obser¬ vation, and must submit to the quarterly exam¬ inations. These appointments are frequently met with much trembling due to a condition of the nerves, caused by a fear of the possibility of a necessary operation in case a part of the brain should fail to function. One does not so much mind having a tonsil out or his appendix re¬ moved, except that such operations are incon¬ venient, but the mere thought of having one’s privileges amputated, such as cutting off one’s dates, etc., is a real torture and the victim’s nerves are apt to be on edge when sharp pains like “C”s and “F”s disturb his sleep. Sometimes the victim succumbs to those sharp pains. He is then quietly removed from the institution. The remains and a certified state¬ ment concerning the cause of the fatality are sent to his nearest kin. For those who survive, the fourth year at the institution is one of considerable liberty. By this time the individual’s case has been thorough¬ ly analyzed and his symptoms are decidedly pro¬ nounced. They cease to be baffling and point directly to the chronic disorder of the mind. This is given concentrated attention, and not being found to be contagious, the patient is allowed to walk at large and indulge in mild but invigorating games, such as making purchases at the five and dime store in the city without a chaperon. However, before the patient is discharged from the institution he must once again give himself up to an examination. This final test is known as a comprehensive, and there is a consultation, first, of all the authorities. Every Doctor in the institution who is at all connected with the in- 1170 ] dividual case is invited to use his surgical instru¬ ments, and internes are invited to look on during the research work. Doctors often find the astronomical signs half tangled, half buried, by the sine of the angle Theta and the algebraic signs of the trigonometric functions of an angle terminating in the third quadron of the system of coordinate axis. It requires hours of peering with every device helpful to the eye, from hand lens to high powered telescope, to discover the various constellations of ideas and knowledge, and then it takes a greater amount of weighty consideration to determine whether or not these faintly visible assemblages are constellations, or only hallucinations. When the authorities are convinced that they have carefully sifted the matter, and that the patient has received the benefits of the institution to the limit of his ability, he is considered im¬ proved to a certain degree. This degree is then bestowed upon the inmate. It may be a Bache¬ lor of Science, or a Bachelor of Arts, or just a bachelor ' s degree. Whatever the case, one is seldom satisfied with a bachelor ' s degree and seeks to exchange it. The fair sex who are released from the institution get the next degree in a sur¬ prisingly short time. There always seems to be someone ready to take the Bachelor’s degree off her hands and offer her a Masters, but not so with the less fortunate young males. For them the climb is not so rapid. Too often there is someone ready to greet them at the gates of the institution, and to this individual they surrender their Bachelor’s degree and all hope of ever get¬ ting their Master’s.

I had to read your last issue seven times before I was convinced that all these and kindred aspi¬ rations were empty—the results of backward¬ ness inherited from a pioneer lineage and day dreaming. —Nom de Plume. Chicago, Illinois I’ve been reading your magazine for several years and have noticed your literary columns. Would you be at all interested in a couple of machine guns or an armored car? —Me, Gangster. Copley-Thaw Why don’t you give some of the really im¬ portant people around here some publicity? You ' ve mentioned the student body president and the gymnasium players, but not a thing about our organization. Considering who our members are, we think you ought to mention us at least once in every issue. —S. O. S. Club. [ 177 ] CONTEMPLATIONS By THE EDITOR One of the hardest peculiarities to comprehend is the inscrutable fellow student. Have you ever noticed how understanding your fellow room¬ mate can be at times, when he forgets to remove his last week ' s socks from your private desk in the corner? Sleeping in the same quarters with a roommate who snores is excellent training in the study of electricity and static, an accomplishment most re¬ freshing to the benumbed nerves of overworked students who have more exams on a string than professors have degrees. If every man in Copley snored in the same key and that key was tuned to vibration that would set limestone quivering, what would happen? There is only one method of finding out. Nasal passages of the human race aren’t constructed to fog horn warnings that lights are being blinked at Herr House, neither are they capable of serving as alarm clocks at Sunset. It might be cheaper to visit earthquaked Nicaragua to gather the result. The administration has suggested that mental examinations, and Scotch waiting lists for col¬ leges might be advisable. There are orators who forget nine years out of ten not to drive nails in their coffins and boys who are asked to refrain from staying longer who assume the role of furnace tenders on every front street corner be¬ fore leaving. Usually they return once or twice the following month to repeat cleaning ashes, fearing that the Dean did not see their first spectacular promenade. Every college has its moving hothouses for the month of May. The saddest part seems to follow when the scrawny Jimpson weeds of the campus stalk around on stilts three feet taller than the most brilliant professor and comment on the sickliness of love. Psychologists still debate whether it is due to jealousy, inferiority complex or heredity. Then there is the guardian who doe:n’t let the girls climb steps two at a time fearing the disgrace of high heel shoes, who doesn’t allow her children to shake hands on the third floor fearing the plaster will fall and who, in touching on the color of things, favors white to black, wouldn ' t serve any food to hungry boys unless it might be Japanese tea. Have you ever diagnosed the dramatic critic who returns from every play more disgusted than the coach? If the heartbroken heroine acted up to Emily Post it wasn’t the girl’s fault. The critic could have done it up in brown paper, had he been tying the knot. Then there is the group of play critics who organize when a mistake has been made. Probably they should stand pat for light dramatics and beer. It all indicates that a kick is needed from somewhere and that this is Missouri. One of the usual forms of inscrutability is found in the temperamental make-up of the small town student who admits he comes from the rolling rinks of New York, or Washington, and deems it a duty to inform every food guzzler at the dinner table that he eats like a country rube in red flannels. Probably such a student is better acquainted with modern methods of hat¬ tipping. But such is the world and we are the heathens who live in it. Amen. MY SPRING SONG Sam Milligan When I hear the springtime’s melody, The soft and hopeful note Of a wild bird’s cry, soul filling, crystalline, I cast off from dull monotony, Leave duty far remote; I have heard the springtime trilling, And it makes me most unwilling To submit to duty’s grilling, dry routine. I tune up my ukulele Or guitar, and ’neath the moon, Just outside the fair one’s window, sweetly sing. Down, the generous, sweet lady Throws a flower for a boon, Not in love, nor yet in pity For the deep and soulful ditty I am pleased to call a tune; Not in love, nor yet in pity, But in a pot, full swiftly on the wing. The Boyleses just outside of the Narva office with pictures in hand. . . , “Look here. Me is You when I say it to you, and You is Me when you say it to me; but when I say Me to You, Me is You, not Me.’’ [ 178 ] GOLD DUST By HELEN BURNS Wong slumped in the doorway of his minia¬ ture shop puffing his slender yellow pipe with utter satisfaction, and apparently quite uncon¬ scious of his greasy clothes and ragged slippers. Old Walled City had many Chinamen within its walls, but none quite so old or well known as Wong. Yet no one could guess his age, al¬ though it was suspected that much had passed in changing times before the eyes of that old man. There he sat in the doorway on his little ebony bench, never seeming to change in appear¬ ance; his black queue was wrapped around a partially shaved head, which custom indicated that he stood for the empire in China. The younger Chinamen shaved their queues off if they favored the republic. Wong’s wrinkled features showed the marks of age, poverty, soli¬ tude, and cunning. His beady black eyes flick¬ ered in their bony sockets in a noncommittal way. His soiled blue jacket, held together by a single wooden button, was filthy with grease spots and charcoal smears. Wong was seldom known to smile, and when he did grin it was so ghastly that few wished it to be repeated, for his few remaining teeth were stained after years of eating betel nuts, a small fruit which he, like all Orientals, was fond of. His feet were shod in slippers that had once been blue satin, but were now reduced to the felt lining. It was his hands that fascinated the observer most. They had long emaciated fingers tipped with grimy yellow nails about one-half inch in length. These hands were never still; they were always opening and shutting, clawing or wringing one another. This habit was noticeable because it was contrary to the passiveness of the rest of his body. Wong was a puzzle to everyone, and he attracted much attention to himself. Unknown to Wong the constabulary, or na¬ tive police of Manila, considered him a doubtful character. The authorities suspected him of either hoarding gold or smuggling opium. How¬ ever, after repeated searches they had failed to find either in his one small room which opened off from his small shop. His shop itself was un¬ sanitary and cluttered with impossible food. Bunches of bananas hung from the ceiling, also strings of dried June bugs and red peppers were suspended about the room waiting for an eager customer who had a taste for June bug broth or Spanish rice. The occidental visitor would gasp at these conditions and marvel at Wong’s abject circumstances. Year in and year out he had lived this life; he knew no other. It was rather late one evening after Wong had gone inside his wee shop that he had a customer who was to affect his destiny in the queerest way. The evening was very warm and the tin¬ kle of calaise bells and the patter of pony’s hoofs on cobble stones was carried on the clear night air to the ears of loungers on the sheltered balconies overhanging the narrow street. A single two wheeled cart stopped at the door of Wong’s shop. An American stepped from the cart and almost into the shop over the narrow sidewalk. A half burned candle struggled for existence in the heavy atmosphere. No one answered the gentle tinkle from the bell on the counter. The stranger walked back to the rear of the store and stood listening at the inner door: then he stepped back to the counter just as Wong slippered out of the other room in the true oriental fashion. His eyes burned with a queer yellow glint like gold, and he was rubbing his hands. He stopped as he caught sight of the customer. “Whata ya likee?” he mumbled in pigeon English. “Got a box of matches? snorted the stranger, out of patience apparently with the dirt, and especially the shifty Chinaman. “Ya, ya,” droned Wong in his monotonous [ 179 ] way and proceeded to find some matches under a pile of banana leaves, grimy betel nuts, and Chinese newspapers. He passed them to the American. The stranger took out a five dollar gold piece. He thumbed this, tried to find some small change, and, when he failed, pushed the gold piece across the counter, looking at Wong all the time. Can you change this?’’ he doubtfully asked. ‘‘Ya, ya,’’ chanted Wong and pulled a full money bag from his belt. The contents he shook out on the table and collected the change in silver, which he counted and recounted; he fin¬ gered and fondled each coin. Finally he shoved the change across the counter to the American. Slowly yet gloatingly Wong drew the gold piece to him. His evident lack of composure attracted the quick eyes of his customer, who had pulled out his watch to cover the stealthy glance he cast on the Chinaman. The stranger watched Wong put the coin in a separate bag. Brusquely he went out and hailed a passing calaise. Later in the evening, when all was quiet, and the shutters on surrounding balconies were closed, the American, with a companion, drove up before the tightly shuttered shop of Wong. The American and his companion were both dressed in the uniforms of the constabulary police. Silently the men worked on the door until they had it open. The two slipped into the darkened shop and sought the door to the second room. There was not a sound except their movements among the litter. The heavy odor of age, mildew, and putrefaction hovered around the two men as they listened at the inner door. Then by silent agreement both took their automatics in hand and plunged with one accord against the weak old door. It crashed inward. The two men quickly recovered their balance and found themselves in a windowless room, devoid of furnishings except for a pile of rags and a box. Suddenly they became conscious of a light in the room and when they turned to seek its source, both men were startled by the sight that lay before them. Wong sat slouched behind the table, which bore a single candle. His eyes were wide open and seemed to flicker in the light, his hands were still, but they clutched a jar of gold dust in their death grip; his gaping (Continued on page 181) Delight In Every Bite!

The instrument of death protruded its hilt from between the folds of his faded jacket. The whole situation showed the marks of another Tong war. Wong had been the first of the chosen vic¬ tims for the tong leader’s revenge. What the motive was no one would ever know except his assailant. They did not want his gold for none had been taken, apparently. The two policemen collected the coins which bore the signs of the miser’s labors. Each day he had shaken them in a bottle and hoarded the gold dust that came from them. His store of gold dust was fairly large. Several days later the shop was emptied en¬ tirely, and Wong ' s acquaintances avoided its shuttered door. But,Sir, I Came Xo college to Study Human rencTIOnSj not books.

Of course, there ' s no telling what would happen in the rest of this extraordinary story. Something surprising, don’t you imagine? Now here’s the beginning of a detective story: One night at the Commons Sherlock happened to listen as the announcer said his say. “David Parks, Jack Aldridge, Constance Shupe, and Pansy McCarty will meet in Room 16, Mac- kay,’’ he shouted, and Sherlock leaped to his feet. “Quick, Watson, he cried, grabbing my arm and spilling my coffee in the caviar, “let us solve this infernal mystery! We knocked down three waitresses and reached the cloak-room, where we chose the best top-coats and Stetsons. As we beat our way through the crowd of ruffians filing out from the work table, Sherlock called out in explanation. “This is either a practical joke, he said, “or somebody is trying to use these people in a diabolical scheme. We must find out. I forgot to say he was eating a cookie as he talked so by the time he had said all that, we stood before the door of the Bible room. Paying no attention to the mystified people inside, Sherlock looked all over the blackboard with his magnifying glass. Just as I thought, he said, “somebody has been writing on it. Then with a cry of dismay he pointed to the corner of the room. Fascinated, I stared at the corner of the room. All of us looked at the corner of the room.

Most of the scientific inventions are dis¬ covered by the European’s brain but America always made it first. Even if they lose the quali¬ ty of their goods by fast and speedy works, they make more profits. They sell them to foreign countries! From the childhood they teach chil¬ dren how to make money. It may have many minor disadvantages, but these American children who are selling newspapers or “Saturday Eve¬ ning Posts’’ sometimes turn out to be Edisons, Henry Fords or Lindberghs of the world! The second reason is that Americans are a democratic peoples. The large percentage of foreign students a re coming to the United States because American people help them to work their way through. Their wonderful democratic spirit even causes them to permit the worthy foreigners to lead. I must frankly admit that such oppor¬ tunities in education are possible only in America. “Fides et Labor education that Park College offers is the most valuable education to us.
