ADVENT of the 95 Debris marks the I i il pr= ' completion of the second decade of the life of Purdue. Twenty years ago the outlook for the University was indeed gloomy, and a rough, uncertain future seemed before it. Through the patient, persistent efforts of the President and Faculty, all misfortunes have been met bravely and all obstacles overcome. Even greater things have been accomplished than the most enthusiastic had dared to predict. As this seems to be the end of one epoch, an effort has been made to give a brief history of those things which are characteristic of student life at Purdue. And now, dear reader, this book is presented to you as a memento of the bright and happy days spent at Purdue. These days have been full of joy for you, and represent that portion of life which will ever remain fresh in your memories. Out of the vast quantity of material which might be of interest to you, some has been used, much discarded. Out of this debris, the con- tents of this book have been sifted. If you recognize anything peculiar- ly your own, any thoughts translated into print, any words or actions depicted by the artist, blame not us for their appearance. They have refused to pass through the meshes of the sieve. Read this book with care, for there is much of interest to you in it — be not too keen in criticism, deal compassionately with its faults, and may the joy and thanksgiving be with you that is in us at the consum- mation of our labor. 9 2 Board of Trustees.

Richard Owen was born on January 5, 1810, at Braxfield House, lyanarkshire, Scotland. Receiving his early education at Andersonian Institute, he made a specialty of Chemistry, Physics, German and French. In 1827 he came to this country and settled at New Harmony, Ind., as a teacher. In 1847 he acted as captain of U. S. Infantry in the Mexican War. In 1849 Dr. Owen accepted the chair of Natural Sciences in the Western Military Institute in Kentucky, which position he held for nine years. He received a degree from the Nashville College at this time. In 1864 he accepted the chair of Natural Sciences at Indiana Uni- versity, where he remained for fifteen years, spending his vacations in Europe, Asia and Africa. In 1872 the presidency of Purdue University was tendered to Dr. Owen, but in consequence of the delay in organiza- tion, he resigned to return to Indiana University, not leaving there until 1878. Dr. Owen took a very prominent part in the Civil War. In 1874 he received the degree of L,L. D. from Wabash College. He has a world- wide reputation for his scientific discoveries, all of which, together with his letters and lectures, have been published in scientific papers. He died of accidental poisoning at his home in New Harmony, on March 24, 1S90. Second President. Abraham C. Shortridge. Abraham C. Shortridge, the second President of Purdue University, was born October 22, 1833, in Henry county, Ind. In 1848 his family moved to Milton, Wayne county, where he attended school, and learned the printer ' s trade. Later he attended school at Fairview Academy, in Rush county, and then at Green Mount Academy, near Richmond, Ind. He then taught school for three years, his remuneration being at first but ten dollars a month. 13 In 1856 Mr. Shortridge look charge of White Water College, at Centreville. which position he held until 1861, when he was elected Prin- cipal of the Preparatory Department of Northwestern Christian Uni- versity, now better known as Butler University. Here he remained for two years, when he became Superintendent of the Indianapolis schools. While in this position he commanded the respect and confidence of the board of trustees. No superintendent ever had a more loyal corps of teachers. It was under his influence that the Indianapolis schools gained a prominent place among the best schools of the country. In 1874 Mr. Shortridge accepted the presidency of Purdue, which was then in its infancy, and helped lay the groundwork for the present high standard of the College. Here Mr. Shortridge remained until January, 1876, when he retired to a beautiful farm nenr Indianapolis, where he still resides. Third President. Kmkkson Elhkidg}-: White, A. M., LL. D. Dr. ' hite was born in Mantua, Portage county, Ohio, and his boy- hood was spent on the farm. His early life was a struggle to obtain an education beyond that afforded by the common schools. By teaching, as a means of earning the expenses incident to a preparatory and col- legiate course, he was enabled successfully to accomplish his purpose. In 1876 Dr. White was called to the presidency of Purdue Univer- sity, and he brought to it unusual (jualifications and varied experience. He began his career as a teacher in a country school, but he was soon called to the principalship of the Central High School in Cleveland, O. In 1856 he resigned that position to accept the superintendency of the public schools of Portsmouth, Ohio, filling the position with eminent ability and success up to i860. After this he was editor and publisher of the Ohio Educational Monthly for fifteen years. As President of Purdue he laid the foundations of the young insti- tution on an original plan, and so wisely that no essential change has since been made, although it has grown under the fostering care of the State and Nation, and the wise direction of its present management, like a tree putting forth new branches. After retiring from Purdue, in 1883, he moved to Cincinnati, and was for several years superintendent of the public schools of that city. He is now living in his elegant home in Columbus. Ohio, his time being occupied in responding to numerous calls to lecture in all parts of the country, and in literary work. 14 The Present President. James H. Smart. Dr. James Henry Smart was boru January 30, 1 84 1 , in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. This beautiful little place is situated at the foot of the White Hills, and is one of the most attractive summer resorts in New England. At the early age of seventeen he began his career as an educator. For three years he taught in the high schools at Concord, N. H., and other cities in New England. A little later he was connected with The New Hampshire Journal of Education as an editor. A few years after- wards he became connected with the Toledo High School, where he remained until elected superintendent of schools in Fort Wayne, in 1865. Thrice he was elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction. In 1883 he became President of Purdue University, and the same year was chosen a Trustee of the State University, and served in a like capacity for the State Normal School. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Dartmouth College, and Doctor of Laws from Indiana University. Dr. Smart was appointed Assistant Commissioner of the State of Indiana at the Vienna Exposition, and was one of the United States Commissioners to the Paris Exposition, in 1878. He was elected President of the Indiana Teachers ' Association in 1 87 1, and of the National Educational Association, in 1880. In 1890 he was President of the American Association of Experimental Stations. Coming to Purdue he found little that would justify the name of a university and that at a time when technical education was not appre- ciated. His object was to make it one of the foremost technical schools. Perhaps nothing has shown the skillful management of President Smart better than the exactness with which his plans have been carried out. Even such a great misfortune as the burning of our finest build- ing did not make him falter. With increased diligence, funds were collected, and the legislature persuaded to do the best by Purdue. Now the laboratories are better arranged and equipped than ever before. Each course is being expanded and strengthened, new schools established and improvements being made in everything connected with the University. For all these good things. President Smart is largely responsible. 15 Prof. W. K. Hatt, A. B., C. E. William Kendrick Hatt, A. B., C. E., Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, was born at Frederickton, New Brunswick, October lo, 1868. He graduated from University of New Brunswick at nineteen, having won scholarships in English Literature and Mathematics. After leaving the university he was employed for a year and a half on the engineering staff of the Intercolonial Railway of Canada. He then entered Cornell as a resident graduate in civil engineering, and in 1891 received the degree of Civil Engineer. He has since held positions as draughtsman for Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Professor of Civil En- gineering at University of New Brunswick, Instructor of Civil Engineer- ing at Cornell, and in 1893 he accepted his present position at Purdue. Professor Hatt has had quite a varied field experience, having been resident engineer of Grafton and Upton Railwa} ' , Mass., and Engineer of Eand Claims of Windsor Branch Railway. Since being at Purdue, associated with Prof. Phillips in the drainage problem of the Kankakee marshes, and at present is town engineer of West EaFayette. Prof. Hatt has now been with us for two years ; during this time he has had studies in all the engineering schools, so the larger part of our upper classmen have come in contact with him in the class room. No other professor has made a better impression or been more universally popular with his students. He is always earnest and enthusiastic, quick to recognize and encourage merit. He has seldom had occasion for reproof, but when it is required the warning has so mingled severity with gentlemanly consideration that it has been remembered while no ill-feeling was cherished. It would be hard to find a better combination of talents in a pro- fessor. He is industrious, well informed, courteous, inspiring — a model professor and an accomplished gentleman. Walter Jones, A. B., Ph. D. In the fall of 1892, upon the election of Dr. W. E. Stone to the Vice-Presidency of the University, it became necessary to add a new member to the corps of instructors in chemistry. To fill the position. 17 Dr. Walter Jonts, then Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy in Wit- tenberg College, was chosen. Wittenberg ' s loss was Purdue ' s gain, for the coming of Dr. Jones gave new strength to an already strong depart- ment. Though a young man, Dr. Jones has had a wide experience, and has the highest qualifications both for teaching his subject and for deal- ing with his students. Dr. Jones was graduated from the Baltimore City College in 1884, at the age of nineteen. Entering Johns Hopkins University as a special -Student, he then spent a year in the study of the classics. From 1885 to 1S8S he held an honorary Hopkins scholarship, and studied for the degree of B. A. in physics and chemistry. In 1891 Dr. Jones received the degree of Ph. D. in chemistry, mineralogy and geology. During this time he was a university scholar. Fellow by Courtesy and Assistant in Organic Chemistry. After taking the degree of Ph. D., Dr. Jones was called to occupy the chair of Chemistry and Mineralogy at Wittenberg College, in Spring- field, Ohio. Here he remained for one year, resigning his position to become Instructor of Chemi.stry in Purdue University. During the year that Dr. Jones filled the position of Instructor in Chemistry his work was found so satisfactory that in the year following he was made Professor of Analytical Chemistry, which position he now occupies. Dr. Jones is a member of the American Chemical Society and of the German Chemical Society, and is now at work upon a series of experiments which will be published within a short time. It is difficult in a short article to give to a stranger any insight into the individuality of the man of whom we write — to do justice to his strength. Though a speciali.st in chemistry, he has not directed his attention to this one science .so completely as to become narrow, but has laid a broad foundation for his .special work by the study of mathematics, cla.ssics and biology. It is in the class room and laboratory that his power is felt especial- ly. His strong personality and his fine character as a student give him that trait most admirable in a teacher — the ability to impress a .student with something of his own enthusiasm and love for his work. Any student taking a course in chemistry can not fail to receive a most thorough and excellent training in the .science under instruction of Dr. Jones. TM EVENTS OF f THE..

HOSE who lament the fact that science has driven poetry from the world, and who loudly call for the days when Faun and Satyr haunted every wood and lovely naiads presided over every fount- ain, have closed their eyes upon wonders which make the old fables seem matters of fact. The students of Purdue have seen the fable of the phoenix repeated. But a short year ago, on our campus, there was a blackened ruin, littered with twisted and distorted iron which had once been accurate and expensive ma- chines. From the ashes have arisen new laboratories better de- si, ;ned and equipped than before. And the phoenix is but pruning her wings for a higher flight, for the foundation is laid for our hancl.soiiie iKjiii, vh(;se aspiring tower is to rise not one brick but ten feet higher. Our new engineering laboratory is so full of appliances for investigation that an abridged catalogue would exhaust the allotted space. For steam engineering i)ractice the laboratory contains thirty -six cylinders, furnishing fifteen hundred horse-power, distributed among almost every standard type. There are single, double and triple expan- sion, low and high s])eed, condensing and non-condensing engines of various sizes and capacities. Two deserve .special notice— the DeLavale Steam Turbine, brought from Sweden, and the running gear of a Van- clain Compound Locomotive monnted as a .stationary engine. •J 4 The most important feature is the mounted locomotive, Schenectady, the only one in the world which has a separate laboratory, and upon which Prof. Goss, the head of the department, has made a number of tests of great interest to engineers. The hydraulic equipment contains stand-pipe, wiers, orifices and water-wheels, providing a complete cour.se in this branch of engineering. For work in the .strength of materials, there are a number of testing machines, among them the big Riehle, the largest verticle testing machine in the world. The experimental work of the Junior and Senior years is done in this laboratory, under Prof. Goss, with four assistants, and is creditable to the best equipped laboratory in the West, if not in the Ignited States. 1 ' % I ' l Kj ' - ' [ — 1 nyfekll| l- tBP— ' i i£iT -• Tfj ' - ' ' ' V « -j — r fgiiiv; ' . itr Ti ' m m S Sl - - - 2 3EliH 3l 1 1 Sai The Compound Locomotive.

S THE .youngest of the technical depart- ments, the School of Electrical Engineering was established during the academic year of 1888-89, under the direction of Dr. Louis Bell. The fact of its being the youngest : and at the same time the strongest school, , certainly speaks well for its management. I The growth of this school is remarkable when we consider that from a beginning with only two students it has, in the short period of seven years, increased until it now numbers more than two hundred. Its late advent was fortunate in that advantage could be taken of the older schools of civil and mechanical engineering for such subjects as machine work, mechanical drawing, principles of machine design, steam boilers, thermodynamics, theory and practice of the steam engine, etc., which are as important to the electrical as to the mechanical engineer. Up to the Junior year the electrical course is almost identical with the civil and mechanical courses, but from this point they diverge, and special attention is given to class and lecture work on elementary elec- trical subjects, preparatory to the work in the Senior year, which is con- fined almost entirely to electrical engineering. The line of study of the last year embraces lectures and recitations on the mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism, special atten- tion being given to the theory of alternating currents ; lectures on the general practice of electrical engineering, including the design, com- mercial operation, and maintenance of electrical apparatus and ma- chinery; work in the drawing room in the actual calculation and design of electromagnetic mechanisms, dynamos, alternators, transformers, electrical .systems of power distribution, and other special applications of electricity— each .student being required to carry out the design and make drawings for at least a dynamo, transformer and two other designs selected from the other headings ; and experimental work in the labora- ■.VI tory, involving the operation, ' testing and construction of the usual electrical machines and apparatus met with in practice, the study of direct and alternating current machines, and practice in exact electrical measurements. The facilities for good experimental work have been wonderfully improved in the past two years, and our laboratory now compares very favorably with the best in the country. This is due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Smith and Prof. Golds- borough. Both are young men, yet their experiences have been such as to eminently fit them for their work at Purdue. One has but to examine the laboratory to appreciate the thoroughness and carefulness whicli they have exercised in managing the department. Much as this is, it A View in the Electric.- l Lahoratorv. has been but the lesser part of their work. If one would know the power of a professor, he must go to his students. The enthusiasm and pleasure felt by the students in their work has been inspired by these professors. Last year one dynamo was built and successfully operated, and three more of different types have been constructed this year. This illustrates the very practical character of the work. Several recent additions to the laboratory are especially deserving of note. One of these is the large general switch-board, of four hundred terminals, by means of which any desired combination of machinery, apparatus and instruments in the laboratory and pier rooms can be obtained. Also a set of German silver resistance coils taking dynamo currents up to 500 amperes, with a range in resistance of any desired value from .08 to 1,250 ohms. For higher resistances there is a bank of lamps, each pro- vided with separate terminals and arranged so that a resistance of from I to 40,000 ohms may be obtained. A transformer rack has mounted upon it transformers of nearly every American make, together with several European types. JStt 3 r M. m- m -. , . . , f , «• ••• -r,. « ■ • • ■ . H The Switch -Board. Two Edison street railway motors have been mounted with pony brakes, etc., for regular laboratory work and are supplied with current from a new 500-volt 50 horse-power generator. These are some of the more noticeable pieces of apparatus, besides which there are the usual commercial and testing instruments, and a very fine equipment of instru- ments for absolute electrical and magnetic measurements. 657156 .0 . jufi ; 4 4 MM.

Phillips, who came from Union College to fill the chair of Civil Engineering. A man of un- usual elevation of mind, the broad scope of the course, and the high character of its aim, indicate a large- ness of conception, fortunate in view of the rapid growth of the school. In the spring of 1888, five men were graduated. The school has attracted students in increasing numbers, un- til the Sophomore Class of the pres- ent year includes twenty-two stu- dents. The School of Civil Engi- neering does the work in a quiet way. Neither the whistle of the locomotive, nor the busy hum of the wheels and shafting, nor yet the noise of the spinning dynamo, an- nounces its existence. In the warm weather its .students may be seen gracing the campus in the operations of field work, where they gain the practical knowledge of instrumental manipulations, which fits them for immediate usefulness in the work of the profession. The -school aims to develop the sturdy qualities of mind and judgment, giving prominence to those studies which require severe m ental discipline, and produce an intelligence ever ready to cope with the new and unexpected. Like the other schools of the University, it attempts to turn out men of practical ability, useful members of the comnuinitv. 42 Its graduates fill important positions in the various branches of civil engineering ; as county surveyors, requiring skill in field methods, and judicial qualities of mind ; as constructors, with a knowledge of nature and her dangers, with the ability to handle economically large forces of men ; as organizers, with skill to manipulate and manage men ; as sanitary engineers, versed in biology, geology and the general science so necessary to one who must guard the health of the community by guiding pure water supplies, and disposing of the waste matters ; as railway engineer, either managing the affairs of large corporations, or turning his attention to the perfection and maintenance of the road-bed, or, perhaps, as pioneer in the pushing of new lines in undeveloped coun- try, attracted by the romance which surrounds that life ; in every march of engineering the graduate will find exercise for his strength. Nothing that is for the advancement of man through material bet- terment will be foreign to his interest. The recent development of courses in sanitary engineering and architecture will offer advantages to students not before attainable in the State ; and a rapid growth may be expected of these new courses.

In its more commodious surroundings the School of Science grew rapidly, and many students, instead of taking re- quired work only, elected a large amount of work in chemistry and biology. The science course has always been strong, and many of its graduates have made names of no little merit. As an illustration of the range of usefulness of the graduates of this course the following are mentioned, although the list might be greatly extended : John S. Wright, botanist of Eli lyilly Co., Indianapolis, Ind.; Charles A. Crampton, Assistant United States Chemist, Washington, D. C; Frank V, Broadbend, Special Lecturer in Histology and Bacteriology; George Ade, Traveling Correspondent for Chicago News and Chicago Record; Henry L. Bolley, Professor of Biol- olgy, State Agricultural College, Fargo, N. D.; Guilford Spencer, First Assistant Chemist, Department of Agriculture, Washington City; J. B. Shaw, Professor of Mathematics, Illinois College, Jacksonville, 111.; El- wood Mead, State Engineer of Wyoming ; E. V. Claypool, Professor of Mathematics, State Agricultural College, Washington; A. B. Porter, Pro- fessor of Physics, Armour Institute, Chicago; William Windle, Professor of Biology, Penn College, Oskaloosa, la.; Arthur Goss, Professor of Chem- istry, New Mexico Agricultural College; Katherine M. Golden, Assistant in Biology, Purdue University; Katherine Wentz, Instructor in Mathe- matics, Manual Training School, Indianapolis, Ind., and W. J. Eutz, Sec- ond Lieutenant United States Infantry. 48 When we remember that these men and women were graduated at a time when the interests of the School of Science were subserv ' ient en- tirely to the needs of the Engineering Schools, for what results may we not look since the time has come when the School of Science is to be as well equipped with apparatus, and to have as large a force of instructors, as have the departments which have received hitherto the greatest atten- tion and encouragement? Previous to this time the work in chemistry offered but a limited course, consisting of but a year ' s required work in general chemistry, with the privilege of double electives in the Junior and Senior years. The work in biology was somewhat more extensive, general biology be- ing required in the Freshman and Sophomore years, while double elec- tives might be taken in the Junior and Senior years. The Biology Laboratory. With the financial aid which Purdue has received recently, great changes have been made in the Science Course, making it one of the strongest departments in the University, and offering courses calculated to enhance greatly its value as an educational factor, and to fit students to command situations of financial worth. The Course in Chemistry offers, in addition to the work hitherto done, a Course in Technical Chemistry, designed especially to meet the needs of students wishing to become professional analytical chemists. Chemistry and biology are united in the Course of Sanitary Science, this being an entirely new feature in the Science School, to be directed by a professor of sanitary science. 49 Another new line of work is the Pre-niedical Course, which fits its graduates to enter any medical college, and which gives a most valuable foundation for more advanced medical studies. French and German have always been a part of science work, being required throughout three years, the last being directed to scientific read- ing. This department is growing also, and in future students will be enabled to conti nue their studies in language throughout the Senior year, as a most valuable adjunct to scientific work. The Course in Science is adapted, better than any other course offered by the University, to fit students for competition in the active working world, giving as it does a strong course in English, teaching what is so Thk Chemical Laboratory. necessary to the successful business man — ready and correct use of his mother tongue ; in mathematics, training the mind to reason quickly ' and accurately ; and pre-eminently in science, including biology, chemistry geology and physics, fitting the student for practical work in controlling the forces of nature. 50 The Chemical Stork Room. 51 School of Science.

T 5 ff ' :E Agricultural Department is not well understood, either by the public or the stu- dents. It is a large department, both in size and scope of work. It is the largest in the University. The names of the great ma.ss of her students do not appear upon the college register. During the past year more than a hundred thousand bulletins were required to supply her pupils. To this must also be added the S 7rr University extension work, popularly known as Farmers ' Institutes, requiring ' i E seventy lectures in twenty-five counties in the State. The newspapers, too, have been used to assist in disseminating in- formation. The resident students in this school do not exceed in number those of other departments. Her pride is her graduates, ninety per cent, being connected with the vocation for which they were prepared, and none out of a job. Seven more will be added to this number in June. The Agricultural Department is unlike any other in the University. The wheels are not so prominent. But who has not heard of Arthur ' s Centrifugal that spins plants around at the rate of five hundred times per minute until they become so dizzy that the roots always grow in and the tops turn out. Prof. Huston also has a wheel of his own invention. It is an infringement upon the Ferris wheel except in size. By its use the work of half a dozen men is ac- complished in determining phosphates. The dairy, too, is supplied with a wheel. It is called a DeUaval, and spins around eight to ten thou. and times per minute while skimming milk. So successfully does it do its work, that a machine from the same firm has been procured for the engineers. The other wheels are out of sight. The School of Agriculture is used in a broad sense, including agri- culture, horticulture and veterinary science. The course of study is not constant. The science is broadening and rapidly advancing : there- fore the course is revised every few years to keep in the lead. School of Agriculture. Charles S. Plumb, B.

Pharmacy, Phar)nacy, Old Purdue I HAT grim old structure from which emanate such insuffer- able odors, deep rumbles, and deadly explosions, which is known as the Pharmacy building, was on September 26 again the scene of much activity, owing to the return of the ' 95 Pharmics, and, besides, a number of new comers, with strange faces and staring eyes, admiring the sights on either hand. These verdant-looking young people were to be known as the Juniors. For the eleventh time in the history of the Purdue School of Pharmacy, this gathering took place. But what a difference between the first and this last. In 1884, the year when the Pharmacy Depart- ment was established, only seven students matriculated. These seven students enjoyed but two lectures and two hours of laboratory work per week. This last year a grand total of seventy-two students enlisted, who boast of thirty-five hours work per week. While the first classes were compelled to accommodate themselves with one small room, the present classes enjoy a building of their own. The marvelous growth of this department is due to the untiring energy of Prof. Green, and too much can not be said in praise of hira for the ob- stacles he has surmounted, and the high degree of excellence the depart- ment has attained through his labors. On invitation from Eli Lilly Co., of Indianapolis, the depart- ment visited their splendid pharmaceutical laboratories and enjoyed their visit as only pharmics can. Our faculty has not changed in the last year ; it consisting of A. L. Green, A. M., Ph. C, Dean and Professor of Chemistry. Stanley Coulter, Ph. D., Professor of Botany. J. W. Sturmer, Ph. G., Professor of Pharmacy. Geo. Spitzer, Ph. G., Lecturer on Operative Pharmacy. Benjamin Hoak, Ph. G.. Instructor in Botany. Leonard D. Worden, Ph. G., Assistant in Chemistry. Katherine Golden, M.

' ' ; Vr Y % O visitor ever leaves Purdue campus without having visited the Art Hall. The Art Department, though established more recently than some others, is probably one of the most inter- esting upon the grounds. Entering the building one may see, just to the right, the office of Miss Lytle, who has charge of this department. A passing glimpse into this office reveals to us a dainty little room, with walls and ceiling hung with green draperies. A large china closet, filled wath choice bits, stands in one corner. Miss Lytle s own chair is drawn comfortably to a large table, which is laden with magazines, drawings and odd bits of unpainted china. The china painting room is probably the most attractive one in the building. Here may be found a group of girls working intently upon pieces of china in various stages of completion. Although the girls bend quietly over their work, they are not always so innocent of all which is occurring as may be imagined. A little smile could not help playing around a few rosy mouths when one day a big, blustering man stepped up to the instructor and said, Miss, do you think you could learn my son to be a cary-cat-urist here? Shall we say we thought she could? There is also a class in water-color and one in charcoal drawing. Then there is the large drawing-room, where the Freshmen are taught the principles of drawing. This room is arranged with the seats in tiers one above another. Miss Anna Baker has charge of the department in wood carving. Each year many beautiful as well as useful articles are carved by the students. Lastly, but not least in importance, must be mentioned the sketch class, which is directed by Miss Lytle. Every Tuesday afternoon the class meets to sketch from life. The poses do not last longer than ten minutes, thus enabling the student to use his pencil rapidly and skill- fully. Each year in May a grand display is made of all the work which has been done by the art students during the year. Thus the work is shown collectively, and persons are enabled to see the progress made by the art students. Instructors in Art. Miss Abbv Lvtle, Instructor in Industrial Art. Studied in Cincinnati Art Academy; studied in New York, both in the Art League and in the studio of the late Benj. K. Fitz ; later, one year and a half was devoted to study in the class of Frank Duveneck, of Cincinnati ; pupil of Henry L. Fry in carving. Miss Anna Embree Baker, B. S., Instructor m Wood Carving. B. S., Purdue, 1886; Philalethean Society. 69 Department of Practical Mechanics. HE course in elementary mechanics, which forms a part of the studies of the Freshman and Sophmore years, is largely manual training, consisting of draughting and shop practice under Prof. Golden, with seven assistants. The work is carried on in the drawing-room of the electrical build- ing and shops, which are wings of and receive power from the engineer- ing laboratory. The drawing-room is large and well lighted, fitted with tables and stools. The work here for the first year consists in practice in the use of draughting instruments and in drawing either from the object or copy. In the Sophomore year the work includes tracing, tinting and descrip- tive geometry. In the shops the beginner first works in the wood-room, either at the bench or lathe. His opinion of the ignorant working-man generally undergoes considerable revision before he has mastered the perversities of the seemingly innocent tools which are placed in his hands. The work consists of a course in the elements of carpentry, jointing and in turning and pattern-making. In the Freshman year the tyro also has work in the foundry, both at the bench and upon the floor, and learns the process of molding everything from dumb-bells to engine parts. The forge room first oc- cupies his attention in the Sophmore year. He devotes his fifteen weary weeks to pounding iron and steel into various shapes, and to making welds which evince a provoking tendency to fly open under the rough treatment of the inspector. His work in the forge and foundry faces him again in the machine- room, demanding to be made into a more finished product by the aid of bench, lathe, drill-press, or special machine. Accuracy is the first es- sential. Here everything is mea.sured by hundredths of inches, while by means of the grinding machine gauges have been made, fitting within 1-20,000 of an inch. These last twenty three weeks of pain.staking fin- ish the work in elementary mechanics, and the happy Sophmore is granted a vacation of blissful ignorance of the trials which are in store for him when experimental engineering is begun in the Junior year. 70 :nA6MiriEr SMOP 3 :3 - P=ATTErRn SnOP ? s z rounonr § Department of Practical Mechanics.

HOUGH Purdue University is essentially a School of Tech- nology, she has not neglected to arrange in her curricu- lum studies which have for their object, culture, pure and simple. Especially in this work-a-day age, do the students of technology need the elevating influences which come from the study of Literature and History. In the study of the master- pieces of the English language we are lifted into a new atmosphere of thought; we may associate with the great minds which have ruled the world; in the study of History we may span the lapse of years, and tread the paths which dead-and gone heroes have trodden. We ma} ' - learn innumerable lessons from those whose voices are now hushed, but whose work has been left. Perhaps more practical is the study of Political Economy. Walker says : Political Economy has to do with affairs so ordinary and familiar, that men in general feel themselves competent, irrespective of study or special experience, to form opinions on almost every subject which the economist is called to discu.ss. The age has passed when any intelligent person feels himself com- petent to discuss great economic questions unless he has studied what master minds have thought and taught. Therefore, such a course of study has been arranged that no student need leave Purdue University with the stamp upon him of ignorance of the needs and requirements of his country.

O IF a man ' s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics, for in demonstrations if his wit be called away never so little he must begin again. Many of us have sadly recognized Lord Bacon ' s wisdom, as, after vainly striving to disentangle cosine, secant and differential from a knot of waltzes, royal flushes, and operatic airs, we despair of restor- ing order and begin with shame to take a lower seat. For Purdue rightly insists upon thorough work in mathematics, both for mental culture and practical use, and we suffer accordingly. Mathematics is to the engineer what the sword is to the soldier; to be without this is to give up his profession. In any branch of engineering, every machine is built upon mathe- matical principles, every theory has a mathematical basis. The course at Purdue requires two years ' work in pure mathematics for all students, and two more years of pure and applied for those who are in the engi- neering schools. The Department of Pure Mathematics is under Profs. Stevens, Alford, and Amadou. The w ork begins in the Freshman year with geometry and algebra, the Sophomores study trigonometry and geometry, while the Junior Engineers have calculus for their portion of bitterness. This is the scheme for the regular student. There is, how- ever, an advanced course in which calculus is completed at the middle of the Junior year, with differential equations as an option for the remainder. During the Junior year all engineering students take applied me- chanics under the professor in the Civil Engineering School, but in the Senior year the work is divided into subjects of importance to the vari- ous schools. All are dark and mysterious and require much labor ; but rest cometh unto all, and we Seniors who are about to have daily need for the scanty knowledge we have obtained, hope that our sighs shall not have been altogether in vain. 76 Department of Mathematics.

One stoops to avoid the low-hanging limbs as he passes to the entrance. Before him stands a building antiquated, unadorned, and uninviting to the eyes. Yet its echoes have responded to the footsteps of nearly every student who has sought an education at Purdue. Yes, every one ex- cept those who are conscientiously opposed or are physically unable to stand the strains of military drill. Having crossed the thresh- old, the interior of this old building pre- sents a scene full of life and activity. The hall is filled with groups of young men, talking, playing jokes on one another, and seemingly they are here without a purpose. Their neat uniforms at once attract attention, their guns and sabers are carefully polished. Upon their caps, in letters of gold, are the mys- terious symbols, P. C. Many interpretations have been given to these. Soon one of the cadets steps out and shouts lustily fall in-n-n-n. Quickly two lines dress up, and they count, one — two — three — four. This is repeated until the counting is done with sufficient alarcity and vociferousness to suit the commanding officer. From the officer comes a man of soldierly bearing in the uniform of a United States officer. This is the commandant, who has been sent by the government to give military training to the young men in college. The companies now execute many movements with such uniformity and rythm as to rouse immediately the military aspirations of the uninitiated. After donning the uniform, this charm soon disappears. The new soldier soon finds that these movements become very mo- notonous by frequent repetitions, and that his arms and back become very tired before the command break ranks, is given. 78 if ' j ; ' v - ' ' ' ' ;rw, Class of ' 98.

That students were rolling from off every train, And the halls of Purdue were all lively again. The foot-ball got kicked and went flying for goal, And the wheels of machinery were beginning to roll. While Haivelon ' s tower, so stately, so high. Seemed to be playing with the clouds in the sky. Dedication da}- came with revelry at night. And the future Purdue seemed glorious and bright, So beautiful and grand, but it could not last, For in four short days ' twas a thing of the past. Gazing at the ruins, stood class ' 98, Bewailing and weeping o ' er the sad, sad fate, When -behold — as a mushroom it sprang from the dust, It was born with a mission, and live it must. Ties in the Chapel — cataract in the Dorm, Were as phantoms that ride in front of a storm. And the lower department was torn from the College, And Preps must hereafter, look elsewhere for knowledge. Among the high stars Purdue will now sail As steady as a kite without any tail ; But ' 98 will go yelling clear through The various departments of old Purdue. In the Fall of ' 94 as Freshmen we came — Just the same old class — but a different name. And Prexy forgot all the woes of the past. And smiled, as a sheep ' s eye o ' er his glasses he cast. And said that in everything, excepting in noise. The girls were almost as good as the boys. Girls were just girls — never knew much about them, But of late has concluded he can ' t do without them. There ' s foot-ball, for instance, where the boys are too rough, That the girls might excel in, and easy enough. There ' s the fine arts, as hazing,— and blacksmithing too. And all the way down, the curriculum through. One hundred and six of our number are boys. They play in the shops, with all kinds of toys. But the funniest thing is for boys of their size, To play in the dirt, and make hot mud pies. 84 But some of our class are heroes as well, And if you ' ll ask Parker, prehaps he can tell Of adventures heroic, in the darkness of night. When the man in the moon was all frantic with fright, The Goddess of Justice on the steeple did blink, Pandora upset her big bottle of ink, And Prexy woke up — There ' s a dozen who know How Hazing got lashed by the tale ( tail ) of woe. Purdue ' s possibilities are looming up high. The braves of our nation shall live near by, Fences of iron shall inclose our nice ground And a music department for ladies be found. We have water-works too, to protect us from fire, And Haivelon ' s tower will be ten feet higher. And a large town clock will be put in the steeple. To bunch the waste moments into hours for the people. We ' ve the latest improvements there are in the shop. And our corps of instructors is all tip-top. With the twentieth of a mill endowed by the State, And the impetus given by class Ninety-Eight, All other institutions before her shall quail. When old Purdue gets the world by the tail. The town, the State, and the Nation too. May well join the rah, rah, RAH, PURDUE. 85 Class of ' 97. Colors. Nile Green and Myrtle Green. Yell. Rip! Rah! Razoo ! Zip! Boom! Bazoo! Wall! Hoo !

When our school days all are over We will think with strange delight Of our class of ninety-seven, And our record all so bright. We are yet but students working To attain a higher goal Than has e ' er been reached before us — All that glittered was not gold. Of the Sophs, we ' re called the best, Though we are a trifle new ; But our picnic ' s present prospects High will place us in Purdue. When we first our dainty footsteps Placed upon the campus old. Seniors stopped to look upon us And wish the years would backward roll. Without doubt we then presented An appearance somewhat weird To the students whom we followed, Tho ' they laughed, they never jeered. Of all sayings, ours are brightest ; In all tilings we stand the first ; From our field-day to our foot- ball Not the slightest flaw is traced. Many jokes we have among us That ne ' er pass our sacred walls ; These create the weird, wild noises Issuing from our mystic halls. We are slightly less in number Owing to a harmless joke, But, of course, our class survived it, And could stand another stroke. After this decrease in numbers, One bright day we thought to meet. And a startling phantom met us When we came from our retreat. Overhead the Owls were playing That a hobby they coiild ride, Rut they found the pony wanting In its length of lofty strides. So bright thoughts were then forthcoming, How to make a doll be spied ; On the wall they thought to hang it, Just before the door outside. So when forth we sallied proudly, There we found a daughter bright, All in red and yellow garments, With a face of ghostly white. On our child, in letters brilliant. These brief compliments there gleamed : ' Owls who prowl in ghostly hours Send this token of esteem. This we hope will show you all The high respect in which we ' re held ; If 3-ou want a good strong song, Give the ninety-seven yell. Now, dear friends, our aim shall be To attain a better goal, Working not for earthly light More than radiance of the sotil. Class of ' 96. Hotto. Push on; keep moving. Colors. Heliotrope a7id Cor?i.

Over many hills of learning, our pleasant path has led, We are a band of many, for only a few have fled. We, who are bright and loyal, the class of all Purdue, At last have passed by Junior and as Senior now greet you. Over the hill of Prepdom (and does n ' t it seem queer. That such a set of students would have to pass by here ? ) We will never tell you of the sorrows we did see. But we will just refer you to the ' 92 Debris. Over the hill of Freshman, O joy, O happiness, For ' twas here our reputation was made for all the rest. Many brave hearts quickly joined us, for they knew we needed aid, And they read upon our faces that we are not at all afraid. On the twenty-fourth of September, eighteen hundred ninety-two, Our first meeting as a body was held at old Purdue ; It was then we took our stand for our rights and recognition. And to be the first, the best, has always been our ambition. This year was crowned with successes, from beginning to the end, To the wonderful foot-ball team we many brave did lend. On Stuart Field on Class Day we counted by the score The many points we won, like the Spartans in days of yore. Over the hill of Sophomore, we plodded without fear, But that we still would prosper and honor our college dear ; Nor were we disappointed, although one misfortune befell That nearly ruined our reputation and happiness as well. This terrible misfortune, which I will sadly relate, Concerns our Sophomore picnic, that met such a sorry fate. All was completely settled when small-pox, that awful foe, Unceremoniously interfered, and Prexy said Don ' t go. And so we had to give it up, but how reluctantly We relinquished our last hope, for plainly we could see How unjustly we would be accused of failing in our attempt, But thanks to the common sense of all from this we were exempt. Over the hill of Junior at last we ' ve bravely gone. And steadily over Senior we ' ll march, a mighty throng; Before our story closes we would like to say to you It has been clearly shown that we ' re the class of all Purdue. 90 I Class of 95. Motto.

The towers surmounted castles great With large and spacious rooms, Where many geesers met their fate, And therein met their tombs. A plain board fence of careless build, Around this castle ran, On which was marked in black and gild, The places in the land. Strange characters thereon were found, Which to strangers caused surprise. Like get your specs at Kachlein ' s ground To Gillian ' s go for pies. At Lane and Goodwin ' s get your books, (With double price to pay) You ' re not allowed to look at goods. Unless you buy to-day. The castle grounds were sweet with flowers. The grass was soft and green. It tempted strangers to those towers. Where giants dwelt therein. These giants, strongly fortified, Were brave when in their walls; With much wise printing mixed with sketch, They drew a mighty throng Of young America to catch Much learning for a song. The bravest crowd that e ' er was found. In this land or in that. Assembled in the early fall of 1891. And issued to their braves a call For arms of shield and gun. A name they wanted that would be, In moments of despair, An inspiration large and free, To win the victory there. They sought and sought with vim and life. And did at last arrive, With harmony devoid of strife, At the name. Class ' 95. 98 Then waiting for no least delay, They planned a neat campaign, Determined to prolong the fray, Till they ' d the victory gain. They chose for chief a brave young (?) knight, Bill Kennon was his name, Who wisely led the awful fight, That gave the class such fame. The first year of campaign had passed. The gi.uits claimed they gained The victory, and e ' en surpassed What they before had gained. King Kennon with his rallying powers. Did rally us again. And to our second year of fight He came, less some few slain. The gi mts seemed worse than before, And looked with bloody eyes. Upon the crowd of Sophomores, Who had become so wise. Their bluff and taunt were no avail, But they commenced their art, But long before four moons had passed, They looked quite faint at heart. We labored hard the last five moons. And saw the victory near. But took a furlough of three moons, To drive away all fear. Our third year ' s fight we gained with ease, And two more giants downed, The first- Sir Phillips who did tease. And on all class-men frowned. The second man was conquered well. And he away did turn. With face so beaming o ' er with fear. It near the town did burn. Our final year had come. The giants fought. But fought to no avail. For every one, from Mike to Stone, Was destined but to fail. Sir Mike once tried in vain attempt. To save a sharp attack, And loudly yelled, no monkeying. Or I will fire you back. With Elocution ; graceful art ! Miss Gerrish tried to wound And called Miss Lytle quickly in To help her hold her ground. 94 They met, indeed, a j rievous fate, And sought Mrs. McRae, Who, with strange views of church and State, Did try to have her way. The next we sought was Jerry, bohl, A mighty man was he ; He scared the Juniors, so it ' s told. He near gained victory. He fell, and next we tackled Goss, Who tried his Thermo shield, But we broke through and he was lost ; He lies now in the field. Sir Frederick Morley then was ' tacked By ten brave engineers And with him fixed Sir Joker Hatt, Whose eyes we both did black. Coulter, then, with shaven locks, Did fall with dreadful thud ; His friends did mourn, for he was loved, But we baptized him Mud. With chemicals in curious form, Herr Stone gave goodly fight, But we did watch and in due time Did squelch him in the night. His helper. Dr. Jones by name— Sarcasm called for short - Was taken, and by inner flame, Reduced to small import. Each knight was humbled low and laid, And to the king we turned ; His power of bluff had so far barred Our entrance, which he spurned. He fell e ' en harder than the rest, Because he could not make In public at a grand affair, A speech that would well take. We conquered all, from least to great, Space but prevents their names. But ne ' er a class has had the fate That brought so many fames. We did what many often tried And failed in utter ' spair, But ' 95 has gained with pride The rep. she sought to bear. 95 Pharmacy.

The Purdue Alumni A.ssociation has founded a scholarship fund for the aid of worthy and needy students, in the sum of Si 00 per year. One scholarship was awarded during the last year, and provision is made for one permanent annual scholarship, and more as the fund reverts and increases. This scholarship takes the form of a loan, in three installments, the student giving a well secured note for the payment of the installments in one, two and three years, respectively, from the date of his leaving the University or graduation. 103 Some of Purdue ' s Representative Alumni.

HERE has always been a more or less marked tendency among college students to form themselves into societies. Throughout the United States there exists a class of stu- dents ' societies, usually secret in their character, which have rapidly grown in favor, and have become of great importance in the college world. They are composed of branches or chapters, as they are called, placed in the several colleges, united by a common bond of friendship and a common name, generally composed of Greek letters. From the latter fact they are known among non-collegians as Greek Eetter Societies, or more frequently, from their secrecy, College Secret Societies, but among themselves they are styled Fraternities. The name of each fraternity is usually composed of two or three Greek letters, as Sigma Nu, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Ep- silon, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta. The chapters receive various names ; sometimes of the Greek letters in the order of their establishment, as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, etc.; sometimes by chance as. Delta, Mu, Beta, etc.; again, other fraternities use the State system, naming the fir.st chapter established in a State the Alpha of that State, the second the Beta, and so on ; others are named from the colleges, as Union Chapter, Hamilton Chapter; and finally some are named from some prominent member. Each fraternity has a distinctive badge. These are either a mono- gram of letters composing the name, or some design, as a cross, a star and crescent, a shield, etc. ; displaying upon it the fraternity name, to- gether with symbols of general or particular significance. The first American society bearing a Greek letter name was founded at the college of William and Mary, in 1776, and was called the Phi Beta Kappa. This fraternity established chapters at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, and several other colleges. It remained alone until 1821, when a senior society was formed at Yale, called Chi Delta Theta. Between the founding of Phi Beta Kappa and Chi Delta Theta, a class of societies diiFering from either of these had arisen. They were mostly of a literary character ; some were secret 110 and others were not. Their exercises consisted of debates, the reading and discussion of papers on literary subjects, and the like. Their object was training and drill in composition and orator} ' , they had no social ad- vantages, and were too large for the cultivation of close friendships. The next real fraternity was. established at Union College in 1825. From this time they have formed quite rapidly, until now there are about twenty-eight general fraternities, eleven ladies ' societies, sixteen professional societies, and twenty local fraternities of note. The esti- mated membership of all these is about 110,000. Most of the fraternities have published catalogues containing the names of members, together with notes indicating the military, political, civil or collegiate honors of each. Besides these catalogues, many have published song-books, histories, music, convention addresses, etc. Most of the fraternities publish monthly or quarterly journals, and some have private bulletins issued monthly. Some of the chapters own houses in which the active members live and where meetings are held ; others rent chapter houses. All of this goes to show the strength of these organizations, and the influence they must have in the college world. Ill Tau Beta Pi. THE honorary societ} ' of Tau Beta Pi was established at Lehigh Uni- versity in 1885. Its object, as set forth in the preamble to its con- stitution, is as follows : To mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor on their alma mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or by their subsequent attainments as alumni, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the Technical and Scientific Schools of the United States. The first requirement for membership is high rank, but this is not the sole requisite ; the candidate must be a man who can be lived with, as success in after life depends as much on the adaptability of the man as on what he knows. While, therefore, high rank will put a man on the list of candidates, if he lacks the essential element of congeniality he is passed by in the election. The members are obtained in the follow- ing manner : Three members of the faculty are selected to examine the official records of the university and obtain the names of the highest fourth of the Junior class, based on the work of the two previous years; then these names are voted on and half of the number selected are taken at the beginning of the second term of the Junior year, in order that they may become familiar with the work of the society before the grad- uation of the Senior class, and be ready to receive the other eighth of the class, together with the highest Juniors in the first term of their Senior year. The work consists chiefl} ' in the preparation of papers — generally scientific, which are read and discussed at the meetings. The meetings are secret in that only members are allowed to be present, and the cur- rent business is not mentioned outside. The badge is a miniature bent of a trestle, worn as a watch key, having on one side certain symbols known only to the initiated, and on the other side the owner ' s name and chapter. The colors are brown and white. The quarters of the Purdue Chapter are on Columbia street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, in Robinson Block. 112 Members in Faculty. John Joseph Flather, Ph. B., M.

All of the founders save one had been members of the Kappa chap- ter of Delta Kappa Epsilon. In 1855 the Delta Kappa Epsilon chap- ter was composed of twelve members ; they disagreed upon some point in college politics, and after one or two stormy meetings, as they were equally divided and the matter could not be settled, the six who became the founders of Sigma Chi resigned from the chapter, as the other six had obtained possession of the charter, seal, records and paraphernalia. The foundation of a new fraternity was at once determined upon, a constitution and ritual were prepared, and the society was called Sigma Chi. After its foundation, the extension of the Fraternity was at once undertaken, and though its career was checked somewhat by the Civil War, a large chapter roll has been built up. All the Southern chapters were killed by the war, and only two were re-organized. The Purdue chapter was the means of bringing the question of fac- ulty oppositiou to the fraternities to a judicial determination, and its long struggle with the college authorities and its final triumph form a most interesting chapter in the history of the fraternities. A unique feature in the history of Sigma Chi, and one which has no parallel in the histories of other fraternities, was the existence during the war of a chapter in a brigade of the Confederate army. It was called the Constantine chapter, and was organized by several Sigma Chi comrades for the purpose of perpetuating the Fraternity in the South during the most intense period of the war. Previous to 1882 the execu- tive government of the Fraternity was vested in one chapter, .subordinate to the decrees of the general conventions and to the votes of the major- ity of chapters during recess of that assembly. At the time indicated, the administration of the Fraternit) was placed in the hands of an exec- utive council composed of graduates, and the Fraternit} ' has been very pro.sperous under its regime. The first edition of the catalogue was issued in 1876, and a very fine one, which contained the best features of modern catalogues, was pub- lished in 1890. The journal of the Fraternity is the Sigma Chi Quarterly 116 published at Chicago. In 1887 a new departure was made in fraternity journalism by commencing the publication of a secret monthly journal called the Bulletin, printed on thin paper and sent to members in sealed envelopes, and which contained matter deemed to be too private for in- sertion in the Qjiarterly, which was read by outsiders as well as by mem bers of the Fraternity. The Bulletin was a happy thought and has been very successful. The quarters of the Delta Delta Chapter are on the southeast corner of Main and Fourth streets, over Perrin Bank. The colors are : Blue and Gold. The yell is The whistle is Who — who, zvho am If I am a loyal Sigma Chi !

The account of its origin as given by its officials is as follows : In 1866, Drs. Hollingsworth and Arnold, while study- ing medicine in Paris, became acquainted with a gentleman named De La Croix, who excited their curiosity by telling them something of an ancient academic or universit}- secret fraternity, called the Kirjaith Sepher, which had been founded at the Universities of Bologna and Firenze (Florence) Italy, between A. D. 1395 and 1400, by a fugitive Greek scholar who was a professor in these institutions. Members of this society attended the Ecumenical Council held at Pisa in 1409, and interested in their society, delegates from the universities of Montpelier, Orleans, and Paris, in France, and through them established branches in these institutions of learning. The society ultimately became extinct in Italy, except in the family of De Bardi, who handed down its tradi- tions. These American gentlemen visited a member of this family in Florence, and being initiated into the order, secured permission to es- tablish it in America, which they did under the name of Kappa Sigma, as stated. The parent chapter governed the Fraternity until 187S. Since then the ultimate authority has been vested in the biennial coventions, called the Nation Grand Conclaves. Between its cessions the executive is a com- mittee composed of five officers. The journal of the Farternity is the Kappa Sigma Cadeuceus, begun in 18S5. The flower is the Lily-of-the- Valley. The colors are, Old Gold, Peacock Blue and Maroon. The quarters of the Chi Chapter are on the northeast corner of Fourth and Main streets, above the Baltimore Clothing House. The yell of the Chapter at Purdue is : U7io api I f Chapter Chi, Kappa Sigma ! Do or Die ! The local whistle is : i 122 ?; ' ' -■hI Fratres in Urbe. Daniel E. Storms. Roy S. Walker. Willard G.

THE Sigma Nil Fraternity was founded January i, 1869, at the ' ir- ginia Military Institute. The immediate cause of the organiza- tion was opposition to the chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, which had also been founded at the V. M. I., and had assumed a dominant po- sition in the affairs of the Institute. At first it was intended as a local society, but it was soon determined to establish branches in other col- leges. The chapters at first were not given Greek letter names, but were designated by Roman numerals in the order of their e.stablishnient. After the establishment of the Kappa Chapter, the Fraternity ex- hibited remarkable energy in improving its condition, and in April, 1883, with but three chapters in existence, Alpha, Kappa, and Lambda. it began the publication of a journal called the Sigma Xu Delta, the triangular name being suggested by the trio of existing chapters. In 1884 a convention was held at Nashville and the form of government was changed. The first form of government was by a chapter called the Grand Lodge, having peculiar privileges, and subordinate Grand Lodges in each State. At the 1884 convention this was changed to a government through the convention and general officers, and administration by terri- torial division. In 1886 another change was made to the familiar one of a High Council, or board of directors, controlled bj ' an annual conven- tion, called the Grand Chapter, with administration through district officers. The publications of the Fraternity have been the Delta. a song- book, and a catalogue. The fraternity color was formerly sky blue, but the combination of black, white and gold has been adopted. The ((uar- ters of the Beta Zeta Chapter are between Main and Columbia, on Fourth street, over the Boston store. The yell of the Purdue Chapter is : — High-Rickety, whoop-to-do ! What ' s the matter with Sigma Nu f Hullabaloo, terra-go-hoo, Ausgeseichend, Sigma Nu. The whistle is : f =fm t 127 Fratres in Universitate. George Ross Ives, B. S. Arthur Leamon Fulkersoii. B. INI.

THE Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was founded December 26, 1848, at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. A spirit of extension seemed to inspire Phi Delta Theta from the outset. Before its first anniver- sary it had been established at Indiana University, and before the expi- ration of the second year at Centre College. At the beginning of the war the Fraternity had laid the foundation for substantial development, but a check was then placed on its extension. At the close of the war only five active chapters existed, and for the first twenty years the strength of the Fraternity lay in the West. At the end of the war the Centre College chapter was the only one in the South, but in 1869 the attention was turned in a southern direction and the Fraternity spread rapidly throughout the South. The work of extension to Ea.stern institutions at first proceeded very slowly, but the Fraternity is now national in extent, being established in twenty-seven States. The government is vested in a General Council, composed of a President, Secretary, Treasurer and Historian. The Fraternity is divided into provinces, each to have a president chosen by the General Council. Alumni chapters are quite numerous. Five editions of the catologue have been issued, and three editions of the song-book, together with five pieces of sheet music. The Fraternity journal, called The Scroll of Phi Delta Theta, was first published in January, 1875. Until 1884 the Scroll was a sub rosa periodical, but since then any person is allowed to sub- scribe for it. The secret organ is the Palladiiim, which has proven quite successful. The colors are argent and azure, and the flower is the white carnation. The quarters of the Indiana Theta Chapter are on the north- west corner of Main and Third streets, third floor. The local yell is : The whistle is Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! Phi Kei-a ! Phi Delta Theta ! Rah ! Rah ! Rah . ' fe r ' l .i .rvJ lr 132 I • n 7 ' % .r. w ■ H ,. - Fratres in Urbe. Col. W. C. h. Taylor.

It was established with the idea of extension to other colleges, and this work was vigorously carried on until the outbreak of the Civil War, which caused the majority of the Southern colleges to suspend operations. The standing of the Fraternity has always been high in the South- eastern States; elsewhere it is too young to have acquired any general characteristics. Its government was at first vested in one chapter, called the Grand Chapter, which was responsible only to the general conventions. In 1885 this system was replaced by a government by a Supreme Council of Six, the Fraternity being divided for convenience of administration into provinces presided over by selected chapters. Alumni chapters are quite numerous. The catalogue of the Fraternity was first issued in 1887, with a supplement in 1880, under the auspices of Kentucky Chi. A new edition was completed b}- Georgia Beta and published from At- lanta in 1887. It contained much historical matter and was a credit to the Fraternity. A journal called the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record was commenced in 1880. Since 1889 it has been a quarterly, and is very well handled. Several pieces of instrumental music has been dedicated to the Frater- nity, and a song book is now in preparation. The colors of the Frater- nity are royal purple and old gold, having been changed from royal pur- ple in 1883. The quarters of the Purdue chapter are on southeast corner of Fourth and Columbia streets, above the Merchants ' National Bank. The yell of the Fraternity is : Phi Alpha Allicazee ! Phi Alpha Allicazon ! Sigma Alpha ! Sigma Alpha . ' Sigma Alpha Epsilon ! The whi.stle is : f nF . J]7 137 Fratres in Universitate. Theodorus S Baile} ' . Harry Robinson Safford.

With this end in view, a few students gathered in the Pharmacy Building, January 29, 1875, to formulate plans for organizing a literary society. A constitution and by-laws were adopt- ed, and J. B. Harper was chosen as President. The fifteen charter members named their society after the first great American writer, Irving. During the following December the first public entertainment was given, and in this wise the custom of giving annuals was established. Three years after it was founded the society dedicated its hall in the main building. Many distinguished visitors were present, including Governor Williams, Ex-Governor Hendricks, and the Trustees of the University. This marked the beginning of a prosperous period, and for the next three years the membership increased rapidly. After much dissension, a part of the members resigned in 1880, and established the Carlyle Society. More graduates have enjoyed the distinction of belonging to Irving than to any other organization in Purdue. The membership has been about three hundred and fifty, and not fewer than sixty presidents have occupied the chair. The work of the Society has been productive of much good, and is truly worthy the time and thought required. 144 Irving Literary Society. Hotto. Qui Non Proficit, Deficit. Colors.

In order to fill this vacancy, four such societies have been established at Purdue. They had, as all other organizations have in their beginnings, to meet and overcome a great many difficulties, but these in the end only served to make them stronger. The Philalethean Society, with which we are concerned just at present, passed through this stage very successfully, and now that it has been in existence for quite a number of years, it seems natural that its affairs should pass off smoothly and peacefully. One of the most im- portant parts of a Purdue girl ' s life is gained by her association and friendship in this Society. The programmes consist principally of declamations, essays, debates and music, with an occasional variation in the form of an impersonat on or medley. The meetings are held each Friday afternoon, and once a year we have an Open Meeting and an Annual, but at all times the doors are open to welcome visitors. At the end of the year we give a banquet, and on this occasion the Seniors are presented with diplomas from the Society. Throughout its whole course the career of our Society has been one of progress, and from present indications it bids fair to advance and keep in line with the general improvement of our University.

It was first known as the Purdue Literary Society, and was formed by men who, because of a factional fight, had seceded from the Irving Society. The new Society- nat- urally met with some opposition and many difficulties, but through its deter- mined efforts, and the kindness of the Board of Trustees and the Philalethean Society, it was soon firmly established under the name of England ' s great author, Carlyle, and was allowed to share ' the hall, now jointl) ' occupied by the Philaletheans and Carlyles. Through the united efforts of the two Societies, the hall was nicely and appropriately furnished, and is now a tj pical society hall. After becoming permanently settled in the new hall, the Society chose for its colors old gold and carmine. The success of Carlyle since her organization has been very remarka- ble, owing to her originality and progressiveness, backed up by deter- mination and hard work. It was she who conceived the idea of a col- lege paper, and was the first to establish moot courts as a part of each term ' s work. The constitution of Carlyle is based on brotherly love and loyalty of its members to each other, and it has been her policy always to combine literary and social culture, that her members may be bound more closely by the bonds of friendship, and thus be enabled to do better work. 148 Carlyle Literary Sociel}.

WW Emersonian Society. r Yf HIS Society proclaimed its existence and intentions to cope with the elements of literary advancement on Jan- uary ID, 1887. It is the result of a long felt want, and, measured by its success, it has shown a high appreciation of the aims and desires of its originators. Tossed from pillar to post, meeting at the rooms of individual mem- bers for some months, then gaining permission to meet in the recitation rooms of the main building, and finall} ' being granted the use of the inner room of the library, the work of the Society has moved forward to success, and amply repaid the efforts of its loyal members. Without the binding influences of a home, the common desire for intellectual development has beckoned us on in our work and rewarded us with the strength of unity. Although the youngest in years, Kmersonian is far from weakest in work. The regular weekly meetings and public entertainments compare most favorably with those of the older Societies. The roll of membership is the largest of any of the young men ' s societies, and each member is characterized by an actual desire to do an active part in the work, and carry out the Emersonian Ideal that actuated the charter members in their efforts, for the advancement of young men. 150 Emersonian Literary Society Motto.

I HEN it was decided that the chapel could not be used, it seemed for a time that there could be no Annuals this year, but after numerous joint meetings of the Literary Societies, and great deal of planning, the Irvings and Philaletheans de- cided to hold their entertainments in the armory. Judging from the programmes of the Carlyles and Emersonians, they would have excelled themselves in their Annuals, but owing to the untimely change of place they could not adapt their plans to the armory. The Carlyles had spent a great deal of time and labor on their pro- grammes, and, instead of using the names, they had inserted small cuts of the performers. The Philalethean Annual was given first, in which the following programme was carried out : Philalethean. Music. Invocation. Music. President ' s Address .... Isabel Henkel Declamation Mabel Thonipson Selections from Riley. Oration Willie Stansbury ' • The World is Growing Better. Music.

This was a very commendable programme, and the oung ladies are to be congratulated upon their success. 153 The Irvings produced quite a sensation by an innovation in the form of a burlesque on the Merchant of Venice.

Mr. Dawson displayed great talent in his deliver}- of the selection from The Merchant of Venice. The plaj ' itself was full of brilliant hits, which kept the audience laughing, but when Portia, the bloomer girl, appeared, the climax was reached and the whole audience was convulsed. The Irvings showed great ability in this branch of literary work, not only in acting the parts but also in composing the play. The programmes, too, were difiFerent, being printed on large sheets of paper, which reminded one xoxy much of the regular theater pro- grammes. 154 Cosmos Club. Organized 1894.

This may well be so, for the evolution has not been wholly in the mind of the public. In place of the old-time typical student, stooped, thin-chested and emaciated, we now see a manl} fellow, strong and supple of limb, and with a body which well prepares him for the arduous duties, physical or mental, which come to him after he leaves his alma mater. This most desirable change has been brought about largely through the introduction into the colleges of such out-door sports as foot-ball and base-ball. They have become a part of college life, which adds much to the spirit, enthusiasm and pleasures of the students. Through these sports vent is given to the fervency and flow of animal spirits, which is so necessary to a body of strong young men. This stimulates college pride and spirit, the benefit of which no one can doubt. Athletics have rapidly grown in the esteem of both the faculty and student body at Purdue. This may be attributed to the fact that Purdue has always stood for that which is purest and best in such sports. The students, not less than the faculty, have guarded against profes- sionalism and brutality, which have brought athletics into disrepute in many places. 1()5 This year has marked an epoch in Western college sports. Purdue has taken the initiative in having a code of rules adopted which assures purity and fairness in all contests. In the Indiana Association the most notable event was the dissolution of the foot-ball league. Though handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium, yet the teams which have represented Purdue on the gridiron, diamond and cinder track have won many laurels. These have been under the management of the Purdue Athletic Association. Feeling the need of such an organ- ization to regulate and economically direct athletic contests, the associa- tion was organized in May of ' 91. Under its careful direction, the athletic sports have been improved and confidence in all athletic affairs established in the minds of the students. The membership is now in the neighborhood of four hundred. The officers are as follows : C. H. Robertson, ' 95 President. J. D, Brownkll, ' 97 Vice-President. C. A. SCHMiTz, ' 97 Secretary. C. S.

HAT could be more suggestive of owls than an old, ivy-grown tower, into which the moon peers curiously, and about which the wind howls dismally upon dark nights? Just such a tower surmounts the domicile of the Owls upon Purdue campus ; just such a moon peers curiously in, but she never sees anything, although she has peered for many a year. Even the Dormitory Devils scurry past in great haste if they happen to pass this domicile in the wee sma ' hours, for the dismal hootings of the prowling inmates are not very reassuring even to a devil, and partic- ularly to one with a bad conscience. No one but the wind ever discovered an Owl secret, and he did that by stealth, stealing in through a crevice that had been overlooked by the watchman. But he paid dearly for his trick, for he rushed away howling so dis- mally that we are sure he was punished too severely ever to reveal the awful mysteries within. There are only eight of us this year, but what we lack in quantity, we supply in quality, and the good times we have are known to us alone. What midnight frolics, what goodies to eat, what jokes we play, and what initiations we hold ! This year we have three new members, and right loyal ones the} ' are. Although one has left us to dwell for a short time in JefFersonville, still we have her hearty support. Then there is Mother Owl and her assistant, who are our two honorary members. 180 We must give you a peep into Mother Owl ' s sanctum ; just to show you how snugly we are situated here in our old ivy-grown building. But we must not forget our faithful friends and allies, the Royal Order of Basement Scamps. They are the most unselfish scamps one ever knew. Annually they give a sumptuous banquet, to which they cordially invite the Owls. And such a banquet ! Promptly at the hour named and with never a hoot, but with folded wings, and wide open blinking eyes, the Owls file solemnly down, the banquet hall, and there are served with viands fit for any god. Oh, basement sisters, you little know how bright those spots shall ever remain in our memory, and although we may be many miles away from you in future, we shall never forget your kindness. Thus you have a few facts concerning the Owls, but many more remain unknown. 18J R. 0. B. S. ID 3 ' ou ask me for a story, Of those sounds so wild and queer, Of the tones of girlish voices, Of the basement, dark and drear ? I will answer, I will tell _vou Though my task be very great, How they act down in the basement. When R. O. B. S. initiate ; How the meeting ' s called to order. How the Anti ' s filled with doubt, When she hears the awful warning And the cries of Put her out. You, who love to read a little, Love to spend a quiet hour. Sitting in the room for reading, When the girls have greatest power; — Hearken to this little story. To this tale of happy girls. You, who have to strive and labor In the room across the hall ; Who believe that in all places. Girls are put to smile, that ' s all ; — Listen to this simple version. To this story of the basement. You, who sometimes in the office, Start when cries come from below, Pause and read this little legend, Of the basement, far l)elow. On the day of her admission. To the I ' niversity, She is ushered to the basement. Where the lunchers hold their sway ; And the lockers grim and dusky, Seem to stare her in the face, Aiul the walls w ' ith hieroglyphics Give a his ' try of the place. 182 Then, at noon, the girls all go there, Some from Science, some from Art, And they find, by earnest questions. How each one has borne her part. Then the girls get down their boxes, Tied with cords of blue or white, And they find ' neath snowy napkins. Things to tempt the appetite ; Then they giggle and they gobble And they tell a tale or two. Then there comes a pause of silence ; And the Lord High Stepper speaking. Asks them to propose some pastime. So that all may well enjoy it, So the time may pass more ,gayly. Then the girls all get together, And they say in tones quite joyous. We will soon arrange a banquet. Then they talk still more and plan it, And decide to ask the Hall Girls, And a few from Ninety-four. Sumptuous was the feast they all had, When the R ' s their banquet gave ; All the plates were made of pine wood. All the spoons were brightest tin-ware. First, they ate of finest salads And of sandwiches delicious. Which were made by happy maidens. Then on pickles fine they feasted And the olives were forthcoming, Also meats of brownest baking, And the cakes, so light and dainty. Afterward, when all had finished. Toasts they heard with greatest pleasure. Thus the happy banquet ended And the merry guests departed. 183 The Purdue Exponent. A COLLEGE paper is always a very prominent feature in the eyes of students, and while the year of 1894-95 as been a prosperous one for Purdue, The Exponent may claim its share of the credit. In 1888 the three literary societies then in existence were publishers of The Purdue, a very creditable paper, but class spirit conflicted, and owing to an issue in June, which was contrary to the will of the faculty, the paper died an unnatural death. During 1888-89 o college paper existed, but in the fall of 1889, with the help of a fourth society, the Emersonian, which had recently been established, a constitvition was presented to the faculty which met favor with them, and in December the first issue of The Exponent appeared. Since then it has traveled over hills and dales, being at one time issued monthly and again semi-monthly, as it prospered. The students were joyed to welcome the return of the old Expo- nent last September, clothed in a new and very becoming gown of pale blue, the design for which presents symbols of the four regular courses in the College, the literary societies and athletics, and was made by A . B. Rogers, a former student of the University. At present The Exponent is well supported, and the 275 student subscribers, besides the alumni and faculty, have enabled it to appear semi-monthly, at which time the popular students eagerly scan the Locals for mention of familiar names, and the more literary are other- wise interested. But be this as it may, Purdue ' s Exponent, necessarily great, has a long and prosperous life before it, backed as it is by four literary soci- eties of rare ability. Note. — In March the constitution was revised by a committee from the four societies. 184 185 The Snow-ci.ad Campl All Hail, Purdue!

I remember one day in our Freshman year, We were draughting for Mike, When a Junior came up and asked if I ' d care If my pen he could take. Being either much scared, or with charity filled, I loaned him my pen; He certainly came from where land is tilled — I ' ve not seen it since then. The years quickly passed by and I a Senior became, I ' d forgotten the loan, When one day a post-graduate called me by name, And said, I ' ll atone For keeping your pen throughout these long years. I fainted away, And when I recovered I saw him in tears, So I only could say, You are twice, yea, thrice, pardoned, my friend, My cup runneth o ' er. Not for joy, but surprise at seeing my pen. Which I thought was no more ! Take my hand, you are famous as the first of your class That ever returned — But right here I awakened and, O, alas ! It was but a dream. 191 Chapel. So beneficial is chapel found to be to the average Purdue student, that the Faculty keeps a record of his attendance, not, indeed, to compel him to attend, for that would be beneath the dignity of the true Uni- versity, but to show future generations how much chapel was appre- ciated. Because of the modesty which is a well known quality of faculties, our professors and instructors have never kept an account of their own attendance. The students, feeling that a record of their shining example should be preserved, have this year kept the roll for sixty days for them. We insert it below for the edification and enlightenment of all future Purdue students : Dr. J. H. Smart 30 Dr. Stauley Coulter 35 Dr. J. C. Arthur i Dr. W. E. Stone 55 Dr. Walter Jones 52 Miss K. E.

At last a doubt began to fill Each hopeful heart with sighing— For they began to realize That it was dead or dying. For many weeks they still had hopes That they should have the pleasure Of meeting with the Faculty And dancing a full measure. The members of the Faculty Said not a word about it, And so they knew ' twas not to be — Oh, tell me, who could doubt it? When they became convinced of this, The maidens ' hearts were broken. And all declared they ' d like to know What things this might betoken. Some thought they understood the scheme, And said so much about it. That many soon were reconciled To live in peace without it. But still some could not give it up, And one fair youth asserted That he had had a dream in which It seemed to be averted. But time passed quickly on its way And there was no reception. Yet, still they trust in hopeful things And think its an exception. But if we still come to believe That it has gone forever, We ' ll leave a twig of cypress here. And we ' ll forget it— never. 194 The Sophomore Picnic. EARLY one Saturday morning in the month of May, a gay crowd of students, on pleasure bent, boarded a special train. The locomotive stood patiently pufhng great rings of smoke skyward, seeming only to await the word of command ere she should carry swiftly her happy passengers toward the fair picnicking grounds at Cedar Lake. The two short hours occupied in reaching the grounds were easily passed in card-playing, joking and singing, and some of the young gen- tlemen were at times busily occupied in guiding safely across the windy platform of the swiftly flying train, some of the young ladies who, being anxious to join friends in the next car, were willing to hazard life and limb in their brave effort to accomplish this purpose. One year on a similar picnicking journey, the class had thoughtfully provided a stuckology car, and although Ninety-seven omitted this little necessity, we undoubtedly feel that there were many candidates for this car, who felt a little disappointed over this omission. But after all. the disappointment was soon over, for did not Cedar Lake on that memorable day carry many a fancy little skiff with just two passengers, and didn ' t the water dimple prettily as she smiled over the many secrets told only in her presence ? Then, too, music hath charms ; at least, one would have thought so. had he seen the gay pavilion and heard the constant tap, tap of the many feet as their lithe owners floated gracefully around, now in and now out, to the sweet strains of Narcissus or Nordica. Noon came, and with it, hunger, who is always a necesiary adjunct to the success of a picnic. What goodies, what hungry boys and girls, what justice was done to those goodies, are not features easily described ; but if you have ever been to a Sophomore picnic, we leave you to reflect upon your own experience in this line. The afternoon wore swiftly away. Night came, and with it the last waltz, Auf Wiedersehn, after which a grand rush was made for the cars, each man gallantly trying to settle his lady and her belongings comfortably for the two hours ' ride ahead of her. There was a change in the attitude of the whole crowd. Now laces that were simply radiant in the morning, looked as if they could scarcely 195 muster a smile. No one ventured to sing. Even the stuckology people were content to let ej-es say what lips were too weary to utter, and when the great iron giant steamed into the Wabash station at LaFayette, a general sigh of relief, or perhaps of regret for having to move, was all that escaped the tired lips. A few hurried goodnights were said on the platform ; there was a banging of cab-doors, a clanging of car-bells, a clatter of horses ' hoofs, fainter — fainter — fainter still. The Sophomore picnic was over. 196 An Outing. A car to the river, a boat and a sail, A pleasant companion, a stroll at the trail. A glimmer of sunshine, a flowery dell, A bevy of maidens beside of a well. A ripple of laughter from out of a spring, A mother and children a-swaying a swing. A violet bowing beside a brook, A hand that is daintily leafing a book. A father enjoying a day with his son, A mischievous urchin, a dog full of fun. The coo of a dove and the hum of a bee, A twig full of bloom from the top of a tree. An orchard that ' s clothed like a bride in a veil. The sweetest of fragrance presumes to exhale. A grandfather, aged, a child on his knee, Some elderly matrons preparing iheir tea. The water a-plashing the bow of a boat, A brood of yoiing ducklings by willows afloat. A pasture of colts which are having a run, A classmate that ' s eagerh- munching a bun. Familiar old city! The style of her street Is hurrying past and the shuffle of feet. An equipage, dashing, with footman and belle, A smile of approval from mademoiselle. —J. FR.A.NKLIX Yost, of ' 91. 197 4 o;5 TT-- r ' ' i I ■ to. Foot=Ball; ' 95= ' 97; ' 96= ' 98. fHE Juniors had thought that they knew a j ood thing- Push it along! But after we beat them how small they did sing! Small was their song! They went on the gridiron so sure they would win They hardly could wait for the game to begin, But when we were through they were too dead too skin. Push ' em along! Our Heroes. THE season is past for the gay foot-ball lad, With his long hair all tousled and his great knees Vote the glory to him, now I ' m sure you all will, For the honor he brings us and will bring us still. -pai ' Tis no wonder Wisconsin beat hasty retreat ! For she knew such great fellows she ne ' er could defeat So she took to her heels, only once looking back. Just to see if our players were still on her track. Ah, but this was unneedful, Fni sure we all felt That Purdue had a plenty of scalps for her belt. For our years of hard fighting we have our fine cup. And we ' re proud of the standard we ' ve always held up. But ' tis no use to tell you how we can play ball, How the boys mean to play it again in the fall, For ' tis known everywhere, from the East to the West- That of all foot-ball i layers Purdue has the best. Let us drink to their health, e ' en the very last lad. For a worthier team Purdue never has had. May they enter on life and climb upward to fame. With as hearty a vim as they enter a game. 199 A College Serenade. [Raked out of the Debris of the Purdue song-book which died before it blossomed. Here ' neath thy lattice, maiden fair, Singing a roundelay, Cupid and I will even dare To linger ' til break o ' day. Burning our incense at thy shrine, Chanting thy virtues true, Look from thy casement, dearest mine, Thou fairest in all Purdue. Here ' neath thy lattice, beauteous maid, I ' m trolling a song to thee. While the fond night-bird, deep in the shade, Warbles in veriest glee. Daylight is peeping far in the east, Stars fade and die in the west. Hence and away, our singing has ceased, For Cupid has sunk to rest. Farewell, sweet maiden ; darling, adieu. Morning and song-birds sing matins to you. — C. H. Eldridge, ' 85. 200 ONALD RAWSON ' S getting tough- He vowed to smoke a pipe, So bought a box of Old Perique, And started iu one night. He drew the shades and locked the door, Down bj ' a bucket sat, His pipe he filled and struck a light, Then tried to smoke like Hatt. A puff he took— It ' s out of sight I am a man at last, I ' ll smoke my pipe with much delight, Before a week has passed. He puffed again, Tis better still 1 wish I ' d tried before. So he puffed and puffed with great content— And sweat from every pore. He smoked her twice, he smoked her thrice. And filled for number four— But, alas, poor Donald ' s time had come. And he lit out for the door. What there occurred, I won ' t relate — Next day he stayed in bed. He nearly died — had for a month. Queer feelings in his head. 201 Marriages.

And I stopped and wondered what, Could it be a ghost or not? But it sped. But soon it wandered back, And I eyed it through a crack In the door. And the boys that passed that way, They were heard to quickly say, It ' s a bore! And we wondered if that thing Could be a man to bring To Purdue Some great wealth for us to use. In some way that we should choose, I and you. Some thought it was a freak, For ' twas always heard to speak The same thing. I have heard it o ' er and o ' er. But perhaps you ' ve heard it more In the spring. Some said it was a guard Who was kept to watch the yard Or the walks. It keeps walking to and fro. But it ' s voice is very low When it talks. But soon again I saw, And it filled me with great awe When it said: You are walking on the grass. And I can not let you pass Without aid. My fears were then renewed. Though I hope I was not rude When I turned. And I ran so far away That it could not make me stay ' Til I learned. 204 A Modern Casabianca, HKY tell a tale of Harvey Grain, How he and Sclimitz and Gerber Went calling — though the girl (in vain) Preferred they ' d not disturb her.

T chanced to be a windy day, An awful gale was blowing ; ' rtie car came down before the bridge And then began the snowing. I saw the ladies draw their cloaks, More tightly around their shoulders, The doctor ; ah ! he lost his hat ; It sailed past all beholders. He clutched in vain, out in the air. His temper then was hotter, He saw it whirl and nod and dart, Then dive below the water. It was his best, his very best, How sad this little story ! Farewell, farewell he faintly sighed, Depart in peaceful glory ! Steam Engine Design.

Though he tried hard to talk to her, failed at it quite ; She was blissfully ignorant of his sad state, And insisted on talking, regardless of rate. But she soon took the hint and did quickly succumb — Saying, O, what a pity ! This lad ' s deaf and dumb. 208 The Co=Ed. ' s Prayer. Oh, Prex}- dear, oh, Prexy dear, The Coe-d. fair makes plea; Oh, grant us now, without a tear, The boon we ask of thee.

But girls! alack, must not ; ' Twould hurt us much if we should see On your fair names this blot. Our work ? Oh. yes, the Profs, agree We highest grades must make. Our rights? Oh, no, they these can ' t see (They say it ' s for our sake.) Our prayer? It ' s this: To grant that we. Since working with the boys. May have our wished sorority. That we may share their joys. 209 ' 95 ' s Qrind=Box. Useless would be all effort to try to tell to the wondering public the whole of the blood-curdling history of Ninety-five ' s Grind-Box, but in a few words we will endeavor to give our readers a sketch of its short life. Soon after Christmas there appeared in a conspicuous place in the library a small, but gayly decorated box, with ' 95 GRINDS labeled in bold, black letters across its front. We say that the box was gayly decorated, and so it was. On one side of this box was a sketch of a dainty maiden, bearing in her hands a graceful streamer, which bore the inscription, ' 95. On the other, quite in contrast, was a sketch of a jolly old court fool, who stood dropping a grind into a box. Underneath him was this inscrip- tion : Drop ' em in. Right this way with your grinds. Now is your chance to get eve n with the Prof, who stuck you on the last exam, (right here, it was, friends, that we made our mistake) and the girl who cut you so cruelly, and the fellow who rode your pony, and all the other myriads of people and things which need grinding. But, dear readers, this was not all. The most suggestive and strik- ing sketch was the one which occupied the front of the box. Down in the left-hand corner, grinding with all his might a mill which contained numberless victims, stood, or rather pranced, a fiendish devil, and ju.st a little back of him stood another devil, his fork thrown over his shoulder and the figure of a dead man upon it, patiently waiting until there should be room to throw in his victim. In one background were other devils diligently chasing other poor scared victims. The whole was both suggestive and effective, and though we do not know whether certain members of the faculty recognized them- selves in the persons of some of the poor victims, or whether they were afraid the court jester would outwit them, we do know that our dear old grind-box was spirited away to a dark closet in the office, and there kept until missed by some members of the Debris staff. We went, we saw, we— were conquered. No amount of coaxing could per.suade them to protect a box, which invited people to grind them ; but they kindly .sugge.sted that we might paint the box over the sketches. To-day she stands in her modest dress and with a simple inscription, D-E-B-R-I-S. To ' 95 this has a double meaning. 210 Free Lecture Course. (No charj es, and open to all students.) Lecture No. I. (Delivered every INIonday morninj at 10:15.) Now I dont think there was anything funny or smart about that. (Pause, for effect.) Of course, if 3 ' ou don ' t want to sing, we can ?ih2Ln- don t altogether. (Another pause.) Now, I wish you would sing the last verse. Will the pianist please proceed? Lecture No. IL (Delivered weekly.) Now, I shall just keep the whole cla.ss on this act until every part is learned perfectly. Of course, I can only require one hour and thirty minutes of study per week, but in that length of time, you could easily learn the whole book of Shakespeare. Lecture No. lU. (Occupying fifty-three minutes before every test.) I have a few words to say before you begin to write. ' ' First. Write the subject of the test in the middle of the upper margin. Second. Place your signature, with the date, at the right end of the first line. Third. Place yotir division and section at the left end of the first line. Fourth. Place the number of your question in the middle of the line. Be careful to punctuate well, and also, observe the rules about paragraphing. Now, if some of the papers handed me to-day, are as poor as those I received last time, I shall cast them away and refuse to look them over. The young ladies are exempt from this last remark. Now you may write ; but first let me say that I shall take up the papers promptly at twelve-thirty. Note.— There is just seven minutes left in which to answer twenty questions. Lecture No. IV. (Delivered semi-weekly to the Science students.) I just thought that I ' d tell ' ou that only one member of this class is going to get his diploma. I did credit you with a little common sense (here a piece of chalk is thrown up, and carefully caught as it descends), but it seems that I have reposed too much confidence in you. Now I don ' t intend to lose any more sleep over the matter. I have talked to the other professors about you, and I find that the same persons who are flunking with them are flunking with me, and I don ' t intend to worry about you any more. But really, now, do buckle down to good, hard, honest work, and may be you ' ll get through. How Our Profs. Encourage Questions. Professor Goss (smilingly) — Well, I am sorry, but I can ' t answer that. Is there an} ' other question? Professor Craig (with great solemnity) — We will reserve the answer until some other day. This makes the 23rd question yet to be answered. Professor Flather (after deep study) — Assume a fac tor of safety of six. Professor Hatt (rapidly) — Take moment of inertia about the neu- tral axis. Professor Goldsborough (thoughtfully) — Well, I don ' t guess it can be done that way. Professor Duff (briskly) — Ah, now! and what does the text book say? 212 Heard in the Class=Room. Professor Morle} ' — Mr. Hyde, if you bisect an angle of 90°, what will you have? Mr. Hyde— Half of it. Miss Ewry — Professor, understand, but I can ' t make you see. IvaFollette — Professor Craig, if you will wait until I take this cake of wax out of my mouth, I can be more explicit. Professor Coulter — Your answer has no more relation to the ques- tion than a hog has to the kingdom of heaven. Professor Goldsborough (in middle of an interesting chalk talk) — Will some one please wake Mr. Kunkle up? Mr. Reeves — Professor, should not that be x instead of y? Professor Goldsborough — In i iis instance you are right. Laben — I just want to ask one question. Some Familiar Expressions. Professor G s o-gh — You can see it after you have gone and done as said. Perhaps you can see this better after I have rubbed it out. M-k Monkeying ' s monkeying. Campus Ghost — Who are you? Answer — My name is Parker. C. G. — Oh, but I know your face. Professor D. (to janitor) — Leave that for the Seniors. It is no account, and they can do what they d — n please with it. Professor C. — There ' s a place for imbeciles up at Fort Wayne. Policeman (to Professor G.)— Hey. boy ! get off the grass ! ! Professor C-g — That reminds me of a story. Kvery one who laughs will get a.) 213 English as She Is Spoken. Coulter — Darwin was read a great deal more after his death than before he was living. Craig — After a while he turned against that which he had formerly opposed. It became quite a question then at once again. Goss — On account of its convenience, the most popular form is a cylindrical cylinder. This was the greatest collection of boilers ever brought together be- fore yet. Goldsborough — We will discuss that question later in the year and then we won ' t have no trouble, I don ' t guess. I don ' t just know how this will turn out, but we will try and cir- cumnavigate it someway. lyuke — I don ' t know when the lecture quit off. We know it has fell because we have saw it fall. Miss Snyder — If a person sees a sound — Miss Morehouse — Some beautiful song which had been sang by his mother. Rossiter — If you can ' t remember anything why don ' t you keep a dairy. Dr. Jones (at Wabash)— This is the most God-forsaken campus I ever saw. Miss lyUtz — How old does he want you to wait till you are? From a note book — Bituminous coal is the fewel most used. 214 When the Legislature Came, Stranger (to Mudd, who has just delivered a twenty minute ' s lecture on the indicator) — Thank you, my boy ; I think I understand you. I used to make those instruments. Senator (on seeing a student using a blow-pipe in soldering wires to a commutator) — Here, Mrs. X., they are soldering by electricity. Mrs. X. — Isn ' t it wonderful ! Visitor (to Miss H., who is painting in water colors) — Oh, is that the way you do; practice on paper and then after you learn how, paint it in oil? Miss H. (aside) She couldn ' t understand — Oh. yes ' m; yes ' m. Miss S. (desiring to be pleasant to a small boy in the party) — Little boy, what is your name? Small Boy — Johnny. Miss S. — Dou you know you are a pretty boy ? Small Boy — No. I wish you would stop talking to me. You make mj head ache. 215 How Their Minds Run. Rossiter — I wonder Howe she is? Kennon — She is the Rose of Sharon. Crane — She is the finest girl in the Hull world. Neff — Who, when he had found the Pearl of great price, sold all he had and bought it? Robertson — You bet she Is-a-belle. Wjuin — None of them look as (Lucas) nice as she does. LaFollette — Weighed (Wade) and found wanting. Cox — Why do ray cheeks Blanche when I see her? Nichols — lyOve has torn and Mame ' d my heart. Gerber — It is a long Lane that has no turning. 216 From the Letter=Box. Fred — Your question is of so technical a character that we were compelled to seek information on the subject. We have been very guarded in our inquiries, and think that your secret is still safe. There are many new and convenient forms in which obnoxious chemicals can be shipped, but bromine is still used in the old, brown, liquid form. The substance that you used was some lime in which the bottle had been packed ; if you had gone down deeper you would have found a bottle of bromine. Mr. Kelly — In answer to your request that the Debris staff devote several pages of the Debris to roasting you, we would say that space in this book is too valuable to be wasted upon trifles. Emersonians and Carlyles — Yes, we do think that the President %as quite right in refusing to allow you to give your Annuals in the chapel, after it had been declared likely to fall in at any moment. You should not have lost your tempers, and insisted upon risking your lives and those of your friends. Mr. Hartman — Yes, it is customary to call for a young lady when you invite her to go to an entertainment. Miss B — We think 5 ou would show good taste to say nothing to Mr. I aben about it. The sarcasm of placing his photograph in a prom- inent position in the laboratory did not originate with you ; besides every one knows that your intense interest in your work would amph- excuse the forgetfulness of leaving his photograph on your desk. T — While we believe that you were treated a little severely, we must inform you that Mr. Test has the right to exclude any outsider from his classes whom he considers an annoyance. Anxious Inquirer — You have lost both wagers. Dr. Jones did not sit on his hat at the Opera House, nor did Prof Hatl lose his in the Wabash river. X— We should be delighted to help you if we could, but there is no such thing as a Pony for Chemistry. Honest, hard work is the onh thing that will avoid a condition for you in such a subject. 217 Picked Up Here and There. Gerber (in a strange city) — Did you see that girl smile at me ? His Host — I think I got that — she is my cousin. We understand Scott is writing a book entitled, Lost in Chicago, or How to Travel on Thirty Cents. Stinespring — I want a solution of KMN ,. Presents filter paper in which to carry it. March 4 — Dr. Stone tells Chemistry Class that in Germany when people come in late the students hiss. Good joke. March 6 — Dr. Stone came late to class ; students hiss. Poor joke. May 30 (flags flying) — Miss Simler— What are the flags for? Oh! I know; it ' s the Declaration of Independence. Prof. Craig (Monday a. m.) — I spent a long time preparing this lecture yesterday. Sensation among Y. M. C. A. members. A coincidence — January 14, fine sleighing; January 15, a long hair found on Seibert ' s coat collar. What did I. M. Washburn do with the soap he got at the soap factory ? Whitridge — Prof., what is a natural law? Prof. Craig — A natural law is a law of nature. Whitridge still remains mystified. Formerly when a student came in late to class he took his place very quietly, but recently Miss Gwin announced her late arrival by knocking down a ruler, and then noticing the expectant look on the Professor ' s face, greeted him with a cheery Good morning. Professor. LaFollette is unable to hide his ignorance even from the animal kingdom. The other day as he was walking the street, a rather stupid- looking horse nipped his arm, under the impression that he was green food. D. Allen, in the Junior class, has a scientific mind. Nature has no secrets that he won ' t try to find. In physics once, Professor Duff he with this question pelted, Professor, in that thermometer how do they keep lead melted ? 218 The average weight of an American man is 141 ,v, pounds, but if he IS waiting for a LaFayette street-car, his average wait is about twentv- nve minutes. There is at least one thing that can be said in favor of Morlev. and that is, he doesn ' t smoke cigarettes. The Senior Mechanicals have found why Jerry is so hard-hearted He has confessed that he was brought up on a grind-.stone. One day last March, Prof Hatt, ab.sent-minded]v. strayed into Chapel. Prexy— I know a College President who was never applauded by the students except when he announced that he was to be absent from Chapel. . ' Much to my regret, I shall be absent for several days. ' (General applause.) Dr. Smart— Why, one day I saw twenty-five men walking across the campus through one window. Prexy (in a burst of confidence)— ! used to play whist with an old gentleman. (Then for fear of bad effect it might have on students, devotes twenty minutes in explaining it was chess instead of whist. ) As Others See Him. That old fellow is the shrewdest man that has ever been here. — Member of Legislahire. The best lobbyist in Indiana. — Becker. A smooth citizen. — Haggard. 219 Class Song. (Sung to the tune of Fair Harvard. ' She ' s the pride of the College, our Class Ninety-Five, And her fame shall forever resound. We have numbers the greatest and students the best. And our wisdom, you know, is profound. The Freshmen all hope they may reach our estate, That in due time they all may arrive At the key of our knowledge, and blissfully take A position, like old Ninety Five. O salute, my dear Classmates, the red and the black, Let our banner be ever held high As a signal to Classmen less famous than we ; It may serve them as guide by and b}-. O we know we ' re the joy of our loved Faculty, And we dulj- appreciate that fact. How we did, it ' s a secret we rarely can tell, ' Tis the one little word we call tact. When in future we come to revisit Purdue, We will all ever quite loyal be ; We will join in one chorus and shout Old Purdue ! Till it echoes far over the lea ; We will wander about all her dingy old halls And inscriptions forgotten retrace; We will note how Purdue in the battle and strife With the diligent world has kept pace. IV. Farewell ! we must leave thee, our dear old Purdue, We will always remember thee well ; How we love and revere thee and cherish the past. We will ever be ready to tell. We will take our own place in this old world of strife And begin with a purpose in view. We will mount to the top of the ladder and shout, In our heartiest way, Old Purdue! 220 To qi ar . l dp j -nx t - for our 5op|7onnyore o J .
