Readers of the ' 01 Debris, Members of the Faculty and Student Body : In sending out the ' 01 Debris, believe a few words of explanation are due Me. Born, when quite young, in the sandy doons of Scotland, at two years of age took My parents by the hand and led them into the Highlands, where soon lost them. I spent My youthhood skipping and playing with the young lambkins and other such docile quadrupeds, from which acquired that spirit of meekness which is so characteristic of all that I say and do. am, as you well know,, a Self -Made man ; confident of My ovra ability I have steadfastly refused to let out the contract. Four years ago fate led Me to Purdue. It is not necessary that review My career since Purdue has been connected with Me. Cream rises. I have come to the top. Last year I was com- pelled to assume the responsibilities of the editor-in-chief of the ' 01 Debris. The class is to be congratulated upon its selection, for not only am 1 a Man of sound judgment and phenomenal ability, but I flatter Myself that I am quite polite as well, and have received several leather medals for My gallantry to the ladies, among whom 1 have always been a Great Favorite. My polished manners and winning ways make Me a Hero wherever I show up. also know how to preside with dignity and ease, and have recently written an article for the Texas Siftings upon ' ' ( ' orreet Posture, or the Art of Being Graceful. But to re- turn to the subject. feel that I must ofFer a few apologies for the ' 01 Debris. The book does not suit Me exactly. Had My time not been so limited, I should have done all the work Myself. and have run no risk in the matter, for do think know a riglit smart about literary work. 7 have done My best to keep out the work of the other members of the staff; but, in spite of My watchfulness, a few non-Wilson articles have crept into the book, and have, fear, stamped it. Trusting that you are capable of appreciating high- grade work, such as My Own, and that you will pardon the shortcomings of My most inefficient staff, I send out this book, which I should like to have dedicated To that spirit of progress which is so characteristic of our age. Sincerely yours, The Unmitigated A. M. We print the above in Red so that it will be re(a)d.

G ETWEEN that midnight hour when a band of ' 01 Freshmen danced around a feebly burning bonfire, in honor of I flj L their class number upon the tank, and that hour when these same fellows leave the halls of old Purdue as gradu- ■■ nf ates, there is a stretch of four eventful years. I H From the Freshman standpoint, these four years seemed to stretch away into the distance. We looked for- ward to the latter end of the Senior year as to the culmination of a long and difficult, though pleasant, experience. Bright plans were laid, and the future was filled with visions of success, due to our untiring and enthusiastic industry. But, as time passed, the enthusiasm with which we viewed our chosen professions from a distance became blunted, as the tedious work of developing details became more and more arduous. One by one the air-castles we had built vanished. It might appear from this that out retrospect should be gloomy ; but it is not. We have learned a few things — that we do not know much ; that we know more than we did ; and that there is an infinite store of facts still before us, unlearned. And we have had a lot of fun. It is true that we have a future before us — a future concerning which we have built up some palaces that resemble in general outline those charming castles which we built in Spain during our early Freshman days. But, before tiirning our undivided attention to the future, we wish to look back once more over our college life, and, in this book, to preserve its history from the encroaching sea of oblivion.

As a result of this descent the early universities gave the himianities a very prominent place in their curricula and did not offer extensive courses in scientific branches. The realms of philosophy -were explored with great zest, and the classic shades afforded infinite delight ; but almost no attention was given either to theo- retical or applied science. There was not much demand for instruction in these lines. Superstition and science have always been antagonistic. The church dominated educational thought and the present indus- trial age, in which applied science is indispensable, had not begun. The logic of Aristotle held sway, and men thought it a greater advantage to revel in metaphysical speculations than to turn their attention to those matters wh ich were considered to be of the earth, earthy. This intellectual bondage was terminated by the Renaissance, and education was placed on a more logical basis. It was stiU, however, rather disciplinary than practical. Culture, pure and simple, was the main object of university training, with no thought of any specific practical application. The feeling soon arose that that kind of education did not meet the demands of the times, and this feeling became more pronounced at the beginning of the present industrial era. The Industrial Revolution in England took place in the latter part of the eighteenth century and in the early part of the nineteenth. During this period the manufacturing processes of the country were literally revolutionized by the epoch- making inventions of Hargreaves, Arkwright, Crompton, Cartwright, James Watt and others. These men produced the most notable series of inventions in the history of English industry. As a result of these inventions English manufacturing was given a remarkable impetus. The Industrial Revolution was not long in spreading to America. It dates in this country from about 1830. In the short space of a single decade wonderful advances were made. English inventions were imported ; the railway was introduced; steamboats were navigating the ocean, rivers, and lakes with success; the screw-propeller was made practicable ; anthracite coal was successfully used in the production of steam and in the manufacture of iron ; and the steam-hammer, the McCormick reaper, and numerous other labor-saving contrivances were invented during this fruitful dec- ade. Yet the progress of this period represents only the humble beginnings of the present industrial age, which is without parallel in the history of the world. Obviously, then, under these conditions there was necessity for something aside from Latin, Greek and Philosophy. These branches were invaluable in the learned professions, but coidd never accomplish the industrial conquest of the American con- tinent. Pure science, ako, was inadequate. The application of scientific principles to industrial operations was indispensable. With this end in view scientific schools were founded, and scientific and technical departments were established in institu- tions already existing. Yet the educational facilities were inadequate. The great industrial enterprises were making de- mands for technically trained men whom the schools and colleges could not supply. There was also a demand for scientific training in agricidture. Farming had been carried on by extensive methods since colonial days, and the need of more intensive ciiltivation became evident as the density of population increased. Various plans were suggested to meet these definite de- mands and Congress was finally induced to move in the matter. A bill for the endowment of collies for instruction in agri- culture and the mechanical arts was introduced in 1858 by Hon. Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont. The bill was passed by a narrow majority, but was vetoed by President Buchanan. Four years later the measure, with some modifications, was again presented. It was passed, approved by President Lincoln, and became a law on July 2, 1862. All of the so-called Land-Grant Colleges, of which Purdue is one, were organized imder the provisions of this Act. It granted to each State, wishing to avail itself of the privileges, thirty thousand acres of land for each Senator and Kepresentative to which that State was entitled according to the apportionment following the census of 1860, for the purpose of endowing at least one college where the leading object shaU be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanical arts. . The results of this Act have been far- reaching. It is the most important educational enactment in the history of the United States, with the possible exception of the Ordinance of 1787. Thirty-three new institutions have been founded under its provisions, and at least fifteen others have received more or less assistance from it. If space permitted, statistics might be presented showing the importance of these Land-Grant Colleges in our educational system. The amount of capital represented and the number of students in attendance constitute very impressive totals. Purdue University, owing to wise and conservative management, has always kept well within the letter and the spirit of the statute. She assumed the very definite work set forth in the Act of Congress, and has been one of the most conspicuously successful of the Land-Grant Colleges. The trials and tribulations of the early days of Purdue form an interesting and instructive chapter in her history. For a considerable time she was not a very promising infant. Those with Spartan instinct-s would probably have allowed her to perish, but, fortunately for the cause of applied science, there were those who saw something of her future possibilities. Care- ful nurturing and wise management caused her to wax and gi ' ow strong and ultimately to fulfill the fondest expectations of her most sanguine friends. Purdue is now the largest purely technical school in the West. She was a pioneer in the field of industrial education, and now has an established reputation. The days of her probation are over. She is no longer in the experimental stage. She has still, however, the most important of problems to confront. Her existence does not, perhaps, depend upon the accurate solution of these problems, but their determination will make or mar her future. The problems are no longer critical, but they ai ' e vastly larger than they once were. There was never a time in the history of Purdue when wise guidance was more essential. Other institutions have realized the fact that there is a distinct and pronounced demand for men skilled in applied science. The result is that the great State Universities of the West have established scientific departments, many of which are now important factors in technical education. The competition of the future is destined to be more keen than that of the past. There can, however, be no question as to the future of Purdue so long as she continues to expand along traditional lines. She must, however, do more and better work in the future than she lias done in the past. A healthy institution is dynamic rather tlian static. While Purdue has always enjoyed a large measure of public confidence, there was probably never a time when a more kindly feeling toward her existed in the minds of those interested in technical education. The members of the State Legislature and others in high office, have recently given evidence of their appreciation of her work. The citizens of Indiana and those in other States conversant with her achievements continue to express their confidence in the institution in no uncertain way. There is a very good reason for this. The work of Purdue has been a great stimulus to scientific agriculture ; it has had an important part in developing the efficiency of railroad systems ; it has promoted the study of theoretical and applied electricity ; it has made possible the use of better engineering structures ; it has emphasized the applications of chemical, biological, and sani- tary laws ; it has also provided a training in general studios along literary, linguistic, artistic, and political lines. While the University continues to be aggressive along the lines of her traditional development, there can be no question as to her future. As long as she continues to serve an important and rapidly growing constituency, all good things will be added unto her. President Stone. lOC ' TOR WINTHROP ELLSWORTH STONE, to whom this edition of the Debris is dedicated, was elected President of Purdue University on July (3, 1900. He was, however, thoroughly familiar with the history and policy of the institution for many years before that time. His long term of residence at the University had also familiarized him with the history of education in Indiana and had brought him into contact with imiversity problems generally. He is, then, no stranger to the State and not new to educational circles. President Stone is a native of New England — that section which has furnished so many sterling and aggressive men for the development of the more remote parts of our country. The achievements of the sons of New England in various parts of the United States have fully justified tlie statement of William Stoughton made in his election sermon of 1688, when he said, God sifted a whole nation, that he might send choice grain into the wilderness. President Stone was born in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, in 1862, and in 1878 he entered the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College at Amherst and was graduated from that institution with the degree of Bache- lor of Science in 1882. In 1886 a similar degree was conferred upon him by Boston University. After serving his alma mater at Amherst for a short time in tlie capacity of assistant, he went to the University of Gottingen for special work in chemistry. He remained at that institution for two years and then returned to America with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. After a very brief connection with the University of Tennessee he was called to Purdue in 1889 to take charge of the Department of Chemistry. It was in connection with this department that his reputation as a scientist was made. His name soon became a familiar one in the periodicals devoted to chemical research, and his work on the chemistry of sugars gave him an international reputation. It was also in connection with Purdue that he gave evidence of unusual execu- tive ability. He employed business-like methods in the administration of an important and rapidly growing department, and soon was afforded an opportimity to use this same ability in a still larger field. He had been at Purdue but three years when he was made Vice-President of the institution, and from that time to the present has been intimately and influentially connected with the management of the University. During his vice-presidency that office became one of increasing responsi- bility owing to the failing health of the late President Smart. This responsibility, however, he met in such a way as to command the respect and admiration of every one familiar with affairs at Purdue. President Stone assumed his official duties under very auspicious circumstances. He took up the work of the new year with an enthusiastic faculty and a loyal student body. The results of the year just closed are very gratifying to the friends of Purdue. The educational standard of the institution has been steadily raised, and the increase in attendance has been unprecedented in the history of the University. The friends of Purdtie, in Indiana and elsewhere, were never more aggres- sive in her behalf. The alumni, too, have recently esliibited a loyalty and an enthusiasm which are decidedly reassuring. Taking these things into consideration, the friends of Purdue are warranted In looking for great things from the administra- tion of President Stone. He is a young man in the very prime of life and in the best of health, and gives promise of a long and useful career. It is a significant fact that those college presidents who have done most for their institutions and who have influenced the educational thought of their time most decidedly, have been men who have entered upon their presidential duties at a comparatively early age and who have held office for a long term of years. Yale attained her most remarkable develop- ment under the long presidency of Doctor Dwight. Harvard has developed consistently and unprecedentedly during the long administration of Charles William Eliot. Doctor Daniel C. Gilman has been president of the Johns Hopkins University for a quarter of a century, and in that time has made the institution a centre for graduate study unsurpassed by none in America. The efforts of President Angell during the last thirty years have placed tlie University of Michigan in the van of the great State Universities of the West. These men during their long presidencies have rendered notable services to their respective institu- tions and their influence upon contemporaneous educational thought has been inestimable. The most fruitful college presi- dencies in the history of American institutions have been those of long duration, and the trustees of Purdue have acted wisely in selecting a man for the presidency of this institution, who, among other qualifications, has youth and strength in his favor. President Stone is the type of man most likely to be successful as the executive head of an American college. He has had extensive university training, is imbued with the scientific spirit, has a comprehensive knowledge of imiversity educa- tion, particularly along technical lines, and is, in addition, a man of affairs. The early college president was generally a doctor of divinity. He was often a man of broad culture, and sometimes of scientific mind ; but frequently unskilled in busi- ness matters. There was then a demand for the man of business talent, and educational ability was considered of secondary importance. Many mistakes were made by institutions in the selection of presidents on this basis. It was soon found that the really successful man must possess both executive ability and scholarly attainments. The most efficient college presidents in recent years have been men of this type, and the new President of Purdue must be included in this category. It is with pleasure that the editors of the Debris dedicate this volume to President Stone as a tribute to his sterling worth as a man, and as a recognition of his eminent and loyal services to their alma mater. In Memoriam. BE,NJAMIN HARRISON, A Trustes of Purdue UniTerslt] from JulT. 1895. to March. 1901. Born August 20. 1833. Died March 13, 1901. HEN a great man dies, commonplace grief disappears in the contemplation of his virtues and attain- ments. Rarely has this been true to so great an extent as in the death of Benjamin Harrison, and this is due to the inherent quality of his greatness. He occupied a large place in the world, not by reason of any of those evanescent or superficial qualities to which some owe their prominence, but from true in- tellectuality and force of character. The possession of a perfect mental and physical equipment, trained and utilized to the utmost, but never overtaxed, produced in him a type of the highest modern evolution of civilized man. The American people wasted no time in trying to analyze his character. Instinctively men recognized in him a safe leader and sound adviser. In every field of activity which he entered, and his life was not narrow, he demonstrated his greatness; as an acknowledged head of the legal profession; as a leader in the councils of the church ; in the highest political ofiice ; as a distinguished man of affairs ; as a patriotic citizen and a brave soldier ; in whatever aspect life presented itself to him, it found him full-rounded and masterful. He had the mental bent of the student, approaching every subject from the standpoint of inquiry and mastering it by methods and with an accuracy truly scientific. Had his life-work called him to a career of scientific research, he would have become such a leader there, as he was in fact in other fields, through the sheer force of his intellectual persistence and thoroughness. It was wholly in keeping with his high sense of civic duty, to sustain an active interest in affairs of charity, religion and ed- ucation. In later years when relieved from the burdens of public office he gave much time to these matters. During this period, Purdue University was fortunate in the enjoyment of his cordial friendship and active service as a member of its board of trustees. To tliis oflice he brought all of his rare ability and high qualities, expending them freely in behalf of the institu- tion. His interest and activity in the affairs of the University was not surpassed by any of his colleagues, while the inspira- tion of his presence and the force of his example were of priceless value to every officer, instructor, and student. His death is an irreparable loss ; but the memory of his life is a precious heritage, which should be treasured by all future generations of students, for no loftier type of man can be raised up for the emulation of college youth than Benjamin Harrison. Dr. Smart. Born at Centre Harbor, New Hampshire. June 30, 1841. Died at LaFayette. Indiana. Pebniary 21. 1900. President o( Purdue University from 1883 to igOO. VEN with our faces turned towards the future, and with the prospect of a prosperous career for our alma mater under the guidance of Doctor Stone before us, it is fitting that the class of ' 01 should pay tribute in these pages to the memory of him who was such an important factor in the first two years of our college life. Our freshman year was the last year in which Doctor Smart was able to attend chapel exercises every day; and we can well remember how he used to tell of the progress of events relating to the welfare of the institution from time to time. During our sophomore year he grew weaker and weaker, but still tried to keep hold of the affairs of the Uni- versity. Presy is enshrined in our hearts, partly because his name was handed to us by our predecessors in a spirit of love and confidence that is never mistaken, and partly because of the direct influence of his personality. For ho possessed that indefinable something which gives a man influence over the lives of others. Up to his death, our reverence and respect for him increased with the passing of time, as we grew more and more familiar with his great work and the difliculties which he overcame. As to the personal side of his character, that, perhaps, is best shown in the words spoken by General Harrison at the time of Doctor Smart ' s death: He loved God, and all His creatures. The lapse of time has enabled us to look with broadened view over past events. As we contemplate the life and death of Doctor Smart, Prexy, we are reminded of Tennyson ' s words : I hate the black negation of the bier And wish the dead, as happier than ourselves And higher, having climbed one step beyond Our village miseries, might be borne in white To burial or to burning, hymned from hence With songs in praise of death, and crowned with flowers. |[UP-- iM -rpcn. . . 7M v :,okhUo,o. , Department of Mechanical Engineering.

LTHOUGH the Mechanical Engineering Department is the oldest of aU the departments, it is not yet hoary headed, but still a sturdy youth, and bids fair to outgrow its present clothes in a very short time. Its equipment ranks with that of any similar institution in the United States, and many of the various pieces of apparatus for special tests cannot be duplicated anywhere, and additions worthy of more than passing notice are constantly being made. But of far more importance than the equipment are the hands in which it is placed. Every branch of this department is in charge of one who is a specialist, and with Professor Goss at the helm, prophecy and imagination are alike inadequate to foretell its future. It is in this department that the student first realizes what is meant by Mechanical Engineering in its fullest sense, and the problems submitted to him for solution are all along practical lines. Not only are problems submitted, but from the actual machines the student derives his own data, and thus creates for himself the condi- tions and requirements that he must face in his professional work when his student life is over. In equipping the laboratories, the idea was not to have a heterogeneous collection, but to select those machines which were typical, and this policy has been followed to the letter. A cursory view might not show the real value of this idea, but to the student in design it is invaluable, for to him it is the principle, rather than the detail, that appeals the stronger. The main laboratory, besides minor equipment, contains an aggregate of fifteen hundred horsepower of steam cylinders, and all are equipped for thorough testing both by indicator and absorbtion dynamometer, and in some cases for an exhaustive thermal analysis. Besides the steam engines, there are several other types of prime movers in this department, such as steam and water turbines, gas engines, pelton motors, etc., all equipped for thorough testing. One of the most important factors in the work of the designer is a knowledge of the properties of the materials with which he works, and with this end in view a special laboratory has been equipped especially for the study of the strength of ma- terials and is imder the guidance of Prof. Hatt. The equipment consists of tension and compression machines capable of exerting and recording stresses up to three himdred thousand pounds. Besides these, it is equipped with apparatus by means of which study is made of the efFects of torsion, vibration, impact and abrasion. The railway presents some rather knotty problems for the mechanical engineer to unravel, and the apparatus from which some of the most typical ones are derived is very much in evidence in the laboratories, and some of the more important ones are worth mentioning. The air brake rack is one of the most imposing. It is equipped with standard pumps, reservoirs, brakes, and triple valves, and is equivalent to a train of one hundred cars. One of the latest additions to this department is the brake-shoe testing plant, upon which commercial shoes are tested both thermally and for resistance to wear. The pride of this department, and in fact, of the whole school is the locomotive, Schenectady No. 2, which is in an annex. The locomotive is mounted upon trucks, and load is applied by means of absorbtion brakes. The plant is thoroughly equipped for exhaustive tests in regard to tractive power, coal and water consumption, boiler efficiency, horsepower, etc. The researches carried on in this department are not merely of an instructive nature for those individually concerned, but the information gathered here is eagerly sought for by the outside world, as is profusely attested to by the almost daily inquiries that come in regarding railway and shop practice. In addition to the experimental apparatus in the laboratories, from time to time, additions are made that are for exhi- bition purposes. Their chief interest lies in the fact that they bring before the student types that illustrate the good and bad points of design, and how by their service they have exerted an influence over present practice. Not all of them are of an his- torical nature, but are distinctly modem, such as the exhibit of trucks for street and railway cars, interlocking switches, rail- way velocipedes, boiler and cylinder sections of locomotives, and sections of various railway and mechanical devices. Among those of historical interest, the first of any magnitude to be added to the museum was a two-million gallon pumpiag engine of the walking-beam type, which was presented to the University by the city of LaFayette. One of the latest and most important additions to the museum is an English locomotive, and three other types of loco- motives are soon to be added, the purpose being to preserve those types of locomotives, American ones in particular, that are rapidly being replaced by the larger and more powerful machines which are demanded by the present requirements of traffic. The three that are to be added are all of them American locomotives, and in point of service they cover a period of about twenty-five years in the railway history of America. These, together with the English locomotive, will be housed in a suitable building for exliibition purposes, and they, together with Schenectady No. 2, will make a valuable eollection. The curriculum of the School of Mechanical Engineering is intended to lay the foundation for successful effort in what- ever branch of the profession the student may find himself after graduation. Eor this reason, a large number of subjects are presented, covering a wide range of experience. Some of these subjects are of sufficient importance to justify much more time being spent in their study than is provided ; but the work of the mechanical engineer embraces so many things that, to go over much of it, requires a comparatively superficial consideration of some of the large problems. There are, however, certain fundamental principles which underlie every phase of mechanical engineering, and these are studied very carefully ; so that the student readily adjusts himseK to the specialization which modern industry requires. Realizing the growing importance of electricity as a factor in solving practical problems, the study of dynamo electric machinery has recently been added to the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, and is taken up during the second and third terms of the Senior year. A series of lectures on railway signaling has recently been prepared by Professor Smart. Purdue is the first school to provide students with facts concerning this important and ever-growing department of railway engi- neering. Thus our alma mater keeps ever in the forefront of progressive institutions. Department of Electrical Engineering. Winder Elwell Goldsboeough, M.

FEW of US stop to think in these days of hurry and worry, of the rapid strides that are being made in the sciences. Among those which have made the most rapid progress, that relating to electricity is undoubtedly in the van- guard, and no man, no matter how deep a thinker and thorough a student, can say, I am in touch with it all. To electricity is due to a great extent the present completeness of that branch of mathematics knows as Dif- ferential Equations, and there are questions constantly coming up which call for new mathematical expres- sions, and many will have to remain unanswered, from a mathematical standpoint, until new expressions are invented. The manifold uses to which this agent is put are almost beyond the comprehension of the average mind. Of this par- ticular branch of Purdue University ' s curriculum, namely, the Department of Electrical Engineering, we may justly be proud. The fii-st two years of the course are devoted to giving the sudent a thorough basis upon which to build his subsequent work, when he enters upon the study proper of Electrical Engineering. By means of the Department of Physics the student in electrical engineering is rapidly brought to sufficient proficiency in deriving data, and the use of precise instruments for his subsequent work in electricity proper. In this branch, the text- book work is supplemented by laboratory work in regard to the general properties of matter, and experiments in heat, light, and sound carried on. Thorough work in electrical measurements is also carried on under this branch of the department, and for this research the laboratories are especially well equipped. As in all the other branches taught here, the student has not only his text-books to guide him, but for his use are fitted up extensive laboratories fiUed with types of apparatus not to look at, but to put to actual service. The laboratories are constantly being extended and fitted with apparatus of the most modem type. Here are to be found alternating and direct current machines for various commercial uses, and an inspection of the laboratories will forcibly impress one with the rapid strides that are being made in this branch of science. An examination of the various machines, whose date of manufacture are all within a comparatively short period, show radical changes in design and application of principle. A detailed description is out of place here, but some of the principle ones deserve mention. The largest genera- tor, a 50 K. W. alternator, is used not only for experimental work, but for the incandescent lighting of the buildings of the University. Two complete street car motors are also mounted in the laboratory for investigating this important branch of electrical work, and power is supplied to them by means of a direct current generator, a product of the Jenney Electric Co. A complete transformer rack is equipped with nearly every form of American transformers, and among the later acquisitions of the laboratories are two rotary transformers of the latest type. The laboratories are also provided with piers mounted upon deeply laid foundations, for the manipulation of the more delicate instruments whose use would otherwise be impaired by the vibrations of the machinery. The circuits from the various machines are carried by means of miles of wire to a large switch-board containing more than four himdred terminals, and by whose use any desired combination can be obtained. By means of a large German-silver resistance and a large lamp-board, any resistance from a small fraction of an ohm up to forty thousand ohms can be obtained. For the study of artificial light a complete photometric room is fitted up and supplied with suitable equipment for this branch of work, and under the supervision of Prof. Matthews, some valuable researches have been made, especially in regard to the value of the enclosed arc. The apparatus in this department was deposited with Purdue by the National Electric Light Association. For some of the investigations made in the laboratories, the electrical energy developed by the generators is unsuited, and for work of this class a large storage battery is provided and is a valuable addition to the equipment. The thoroughness of the course is attested to by the positions of responsibility that are at present filled by the graduates of this department. The reputation of this department is not merely local, but more than national, for many of the investiga- tions that have been carried on in this branch of Purdue ' s curriculum have been published by the English and continental press. During the first two years, practically no difference is made between the electrical and mechanical engineers. After the second year, however, the courses differ widely, each one taking up the problems peculiar to it. The students of electrical engi- neering take up the studies of electricity and magnetism, dynamo electric machinery, and electrical design, in the third year. Some time is given to drawing-room work of purely mechanical nature, to the study of the steam engine, and to mechanical laboratory work, so that the student may become familiar with the prime movers used in producing electricity. Thus, the stu- dents of electrical engineering are enabled to obtain a working knowledge of mechanical engineering, to help them in practical life. In the Senior year, however, with the exception of a few hours each week devoted to thermodynamics and mechanical laboratory work, they are kept busy in the purely electrical studies ; such as the theory of alternating currents, the transmis- sion of power, designing of electrical apparatus, and electrical laboratory work. The practical character of the laboratory work of the Senior year may be imderstood, when it is said that the Seniors, under the direction of Professor Matthews, manipulate the photometric apparatus deposited here by the National Electric Light Association. Results are obtained that are of great practical importance to the student of electrical engineering ; for there is, perhaps, no question of more absorbing interest to the electrical engineer just now, than the question of increasing the efficiency of methods of lighting, or of producing some other more efficient method. Ever progressive, and striving to keep the student in touch with the best practice of the profession, the possibilities of electricity are the only things upon which we may estimate the future of the Department. But whatever its future may be, we may say, judging from the past, that it will contribute its share to the glory of Purdue. ■s r 9OOOO ' OOQOO B0O O V O Og ' 3Og©00 O £ O Ml; W ' Al.SL Civil Engineering Department.

It was almost pathetic to see this school struggling along with meagre equipment and I W two professors when the ' 01 class first came into existence at Purdue. The equipment has been trebled within the k last year and now Purdue has one of the finest instrument rooms possessed by any college in the United States, with a superb equipment consisting of the latest and best models of all instruments. The curriculum from the freshman year to the last lap of the senior year, shows the course to be complete, and, with the capable professors who comprise the faculty, nothing more complete is desired in a civil engineering course. Railroad work is kept preeminent. Almost as soon as one is taught the use of the instruments, he learns to run in curves and grades. During the junior year he locates a branch of a railway and studies the items of first cost and cost of mainte- nance. Following this, the economic theory of the location of railways. is studied. This last study is well wortiy of mention, for it shows the enormous energy of the senior civils. Mr. Wellington, the far-famed author, has given his views on the eco- nomics of location in a beautiful volume bound in blue and gold, and containing nine himdred and eighty odd pages. This volume is studied in eleven weeks of three recitations each, or about thirty pages of fine print per recitation. This ordinarily furnishes plenty of light reading for the seniors. The Civil Engineering Department would not be complete without mention of the professors under whose care tie future engineers are placed. Professor Pence, who is now head of the department, is an engineer as well as an educator of promi- nence and great experience. He was formerly with some western roads as engineer of mainten ance and structures, and later was Professor of Engineering at University of Illinois. Professor Hatt is one of the foremost of material experts in the United States, and enough is said when one mentions that strength of materials was taught him by Professor Hatt. Associated with Professor Pence are Mr. Waesche, of Cornell, and Mr. Seastone, of University of Illinois, two very capable instructors. The untiring energy of this corps keeps the civils in a state of activity during their course and turns out engineers who bid fair to take positions of prominence and trust very early in life. ( Purdue loses many of its civils before they graduate, because of the tempting positions offered them. This speaks well, for it shows the esteem in which students of this department are held and their desirability. Out of the ' 01, which was one of the largest that ever entered Purdue, about one-half liave already taken positions. They are widely scattered: One in Texas ; one near Hudson Bay, Canada ; two in New York ; several in the Far West ; and a number in Illinois and Indiana. This is the best recommendation that can be given a college — that its students are sought after. And this is very true. Many fine positions are held by the graduates, and all the men who complete their course tliis year have already secured posi- tions of responsibility — which reflects great credit on the Civil Engineering Department of Purdue.

UEDUE University has long been known by its reputation as a School of Engineering rather than as a Scientific School. Within the last few years, however, the School of Science has forged to the front, and now presents a course in Biological, Chemical and Physical Sciences, and their application, whicli is ex- celled by no college or university west of the Alleghanies. That the Department of Science is attracting widespread attention is evidenced by the great and rapid yearly increase in the number of students wlio come to take up their studies along the line of the natural sciences. In the Freshman year the work is similar in all the courses of this department. The subjects taken up are French and German, Mathematics and Free-Hand Drawing. Elementary Botany and Chemistry are also given attention. Throughout the entire course, especial stress is laid upon the work in Biology and Chemistry. With the commencement of the Sophomore year the courses begin to differ, and the student selects that line of work which he prefers. From this time on he puts the greater part of his time upon his major subject. The Biological Department occupies the eastern half of Science Hall. The lecture rooms and laboratories are well lighted and roomy, and supplied with a complete line of all the instruments and apparatus necessary in biological research. The work in this department in the Freshman year consists in a preliminary study of Botany, taking up the general morphol- ogy and taxonomy of a number of specimens from the local flora. Under the efficient direction of Miss Golden, the Freshman here obtains his first insight into the great problems of biology. In the Sophomore year this line of work is continued, comprising investigations of the structure of a series of the more complex animals and plants. The students prepare and mount sections of these forms for microscopical examination, and also make ink drawings of them, showing both the naked eye and microscopical appearance. This work also is under the direction of Miss Golden. In the Junior and Senior years the course is divided xinder the separate heads of Botany and Zoology. Under the head of Botany, the Juniors consider Vegetable Histology and Morphology, which includes investigations of tlie minute structure and development of plants. In the Senior year the classification of plants is taken up, comprising a study of the entire plant king- dom. This work is carried on under the instruction of Doctor Coulter, whose extensive studies and research work along this line in weU-known institutions of learning render him peculiarly well fitted for this responsible position. The course in Zoology is designed espeeially as a pre-medical course. It comprises, in the Junior year. Microscopic Technique, Normal and Pathological Histology, Anatomy and Dissection. The former teaches the methods of hardening and iufiltering different tissues for section cutting, the use of the microtome in cutting sections, and the staining and mounting of the same. A very thorough course in Normal and Pathological Histology is presented, giving a careful comparative study of the more important tissues in conditions of health and disease. An extensive line of slides illustrating these conditions is prepared by each student. The Anatomy embraces Osteology, Dissection, and a study of the circulatory system. A complete skeleton and a number of disarticulated hiunan bones are placed at the disposal of the students in this subject. The dissection is that of muscles, nerves and bloodvessels of the lower vertebrate forms. In the Senior year Human Physiology and Embryology are given. The physiological work consists of a series of experi- ments upon temperature, pulse rate, muscul ar activity, et«., in addition to text-book work. In Embryology the development of the embryo in eggs is carefully watched, and sections of the same, illustrating the growth at various periods, are made and moimted. The entire subject of Zoology is imder the direction of Doctor Coulter. In the rear of the Biological Department is situated the Bacteriological Laboratory, of which Mr. Severance Bur- rage is director. This laboratory is well equipped with a complete line of apparatus necessary in bacteriological analysis and research. A thorough course is given in the examination and recognition of many forms of bacteria, both pathogenic and non-pathogenic, and in the preparation and use of various culture media. The Chemistry Laboratories occupy the western half of Science Hall, and are weU equipped for work in both Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. The Freshman class, which occupies the large middle laboratory, is trained in the manipulation of apparatus, and makes an experimental study of some of the more important non-metallic elements and compounds. The Sophomore class, which also occupies this laboratory, takes up during the first part of the year, blow-pipe analysis, learning the characteristic reactions of the important metals and identifying the same in unknown substances. The last half of the year is spent upon Qualitative Analysis, a systematic determination of acids and bases in known and unknown solutions. TLroughoiit the year, lectures on Technical Inorganic Chemistry are given by Dr. Evans, based upon the relation of inorganic chemistry to the various industries. In the Jimior Laboratory, at the rear and west side of the building, are performed a series of experiments in Quantitative Analysis. Practical determinations of the amounts of certain metals or acids in various substances, and the preparation and application of standard and normal solutions, are made. The Senior Laboratory occupies the front part of Science Hall. Here are carried on investigations in Organic and Phy- siological Chemistry. The former consists in the preparation and examination of various organic compounds, such as alcohol, ether, chloroform and iodoform. The Physiological Chemistry embraces investigations of the composition and action of digest- ive fluids, examination of blood, and the detection and estimation of normal and abnormal constituents of urine. The course just described is the regular required line of study. An elective course, however, may be taken, which permits a greater amount of time t.o be given to the subject, and which fits graduates for positions as analytical and technical chemists. The Chemistry Department is ably directed by Doctor Evans, assisted by Messrs. Ransom and Test. Doctor Evans super- vises the Senior Organic and Physiological work ; Mr. Test, the Quantitative Analysis of the Juniors ; and Mr. Ransom the preparatory work of the Freshmen and Qualitative Analysis of the Sophomores. Both the Biological and Chemical Departments have large and carefully selected libraries of standard books of reference, to which the students have free access. To the student desiring to study medicine, the School of Science offers unusual advantages. All medical colleges are be- coming more strict each year in their requirements for admission. Within the next few years the prospective medical student nmst present a degree of Bachelor of Science or Arts before he will be permitted to enter. Even though that is not the case at the present time, stiU the coUege man who has taken a course which has for its aim preparation for medical school, has a tre- mendous advantage over the man who has not had such preparation. The Pre-Medical Course, under the eflicient direction of Doctor Coulter, is such a course. It thoroughly prepares for medical college, and a graduate in this line obtains credits in medical school equivalent to the first year ' s work. In this preparation the Pre-Medical Society is a most valuable aid. The would-be technical chemist can find no better place to prepare himself for his chosen work than Purdue University. This line of work receives especial attention in Chemistry Department, and Purdue men who have graduated from this course liold responsible positions all over the United States. The General Science course oilers a valuable preparation for the teacher. A line of work is given covering Languages, Mathematics and Physics, Botany and Biology, which enables the student to become a capable instructor in these subjects. ROF. HL ' STON.

HAT the success of a nation in international affairs depends, primarily, more upon her agricultural resources than upon any other one industry, is a fact that has been demonstrated in history from time immemorial. Consistent with this fact, the growth of the power of the United States since its settlement until the pres- ent day, which marks it among the leading nations, has been accompanied by an extremely flourishing con- dition of aU the branches of agriculture. However, this flourishing condition, brought about largely by the great extent of the public domain and the ease with which new and valuable lands could be obtained in the past, has produced extensive, and consequently exhaustive, methods of agriculture which are rapidly reducing our cultivated lands to the conditions in which careful, intensive farming is necessary in order that our country may not suffer. In view of this fact, the government of the United States has deemed it of importance to originate and support various educational institutions for the purpose of giving instruction in intensive methods and more economic systems of utilizing the natural resources. Among these institutions are the schools of agriculture. Purdue University School of Agriculture, although not so fully equipped, perhaps, as some neighboring schools, stands among the leaders in curriculum and thoroughness of work. The nature and scope of the work presented is such that a general, as well as a technical education is given the student. He not only obtains a mass of facts concerning the chemical, physical and biological processes relative to his occupation, but also acquires the powers of observing and reasoning — the two agencies by which facts are correlated and put into practice. The Agricultural Department is divided into seven divisions, each of which offers opportimities for specialization. Entomology, Horticulture, Animal Industry, Agricultural Physics, Agriciiltural Chemistry, Botany and Veterinary Science constitute the technical work of the school. The several instructing corps of these departments are specialists, who are kept in touch with the conditions and requirements of their particular lines of work by their connection with the Experiment Station, and their work among the farmers of the State and country. The Experiment Station, in connection with the School of Agriculture, furnishes advantages in its fann, equipped with buildings, implements and live stock ; in its laboratories and appliances ; and in the methods and results of its work. Thus theory and practice are both incorporated into the work of the school. The material equipment of the School of Agriciilture at present cannot, in itself, be considered a subject for eulogy, yet it is variously supplemented until we do not wish to class it as inferior to others of its kind, except in magnificence. The stock farm of the State, in connection with the great stock shows, furnishes ample material to supplement the stock of the Station in the study of animal indiistry, while in the laboratories of the Station and College are found as full equipment as could be desired to pursue the study of Chemistry, Bacteriology, Entomology, Veterinary Science and otlier lines. However, in the departments of Soil Physics and Dairying, the equipment is inadequate when we consider the marked progress in these branches of science. The Veterinary Museum, as well as the Veterinary Clinic, available to students of this course, rivals those of the regular veterinary colleges in variety and extent. The work and experience obtained in this one department entitles the graduate to two years ' credit in any veterinary college. In connection with the technical part of the school there is combined a training in Mathematics, Literature, History, Art and Science, all of which pervade, more or less, the work of the student throughout the entire course. He becomes acquainted with the best in literature and art, and acquires the power of interpreting the same. He learns the methods and results of scientific investigations and the laws deduced therefrom. He acquaints himself with the causes of natural phenomena and acquires the ability to generalize. Thus the School of Agriculture imparts knowledge to those who wish to become farmers, who can meet the demands of the twentieth century with the least possible destruction of the Nation ' s resources, and with the greatest profit to themselves. Its aim, primarily, is not to fit men for salaried positions in any line of work, but rather to fit them to till the soil and help increase the Nation ' s wealth by production of economic goods of superior quality, and at a minimum expense of the soil fer- tility. Some deem it unnecessary, and even foolish, to spend four valuable years in preparation for a life on the farm, but they who take this view are ignorant of the tremendous problems of argriculture and the benefits to be derived from such a course. The life of a farmer who has taken such a course and is a student of his business, is healthful, independent, prof- itable and fuU of pleasures. The Winter Course. It is difficult to introduce a new movement and to make it to any extent effectual without first passing through various stages of development. The faculties of our agricultural schools recognized this fact and acted upon it when they arranged the various courses in our colleges for farmers. They felt the need of a course that would bring into closer relations the farming masses, and the men and schools of higher education in their profession. The farmer was not, and in fact is not yet, fully ready for the university training in his profession. He had not been so quick to see the need of higher education in his business, because nature had been benevolent to him and had given freely of her wealth. But when the change of sentiment began, a demand arose among a large class of young farmers who had not time or means to take a longer course, for a short, practical, condensed training in the science of agriculture and husbandry under the siipervision of competent men. This demand was met by the Winter Course. The Winter Course in Agriculture at Purdue University covers the two winter terms, each extending from January t« April. It embraces work in Live Stock, Husbandry, Farm Dairying, Veterinary Hygiene, Soils and Crops, Horticulture, Entomology, Agricultural Chemistry, Sani- tation, Vegetable Parasites, and Kural Law. Shop exercises in wood and iron are also open to students of this course. While this is open to men and women, special work for the farmers ' wives and daughters is provided in Domestic Science, Botany, Drawing, English Floriculture, and Music. Wliile the last mentioned subjects are, as a rule, more interesting to the women, some have taken the regular work and have been very successful. The work in this department diflfers from that of the regular courses, in that a minimum amount of text-book study is required, and lecture and laboratory exercises constitute the most of the class work. This feature renders the work of much more value to the students, as they are taught to practice and apply the correct methods, rather than to evolve methods from underlying principles. Everything in the course is of direct practicability, and when the young man returns to the farm, the good results are immediate. The work for young women is not less valuable or interesting. Young farmers have brought their wives, who have been very materially benefited and have gone away more companionable and intelligent home-makers. Aside from the practical training there is development for the students. It affords an opportunity for them to see the breadth of their vocation, and many are led to take up the more thorough work of the regular courses. Indeed, a large per cent, of our regular students first bexjame acquainted witli the work in the Winter Course. The Winter Course does not take the place of the more thorough education, but in a measure forms a means whereby the farmer may become appreciative of the value of thorough technical preparation in his life work.

N THE west side of the most beautiful campus in the United States is situated a school of phannacy second to none. Its preeminence has long been established, and if the work is continued as it has been in recent years, it will mean much for each and every alumnus. The faculty of this department should be given great praise for bringing this department up to its present high standard. Handicapped by limited space in laboratories and lecture rooms they have graduated large classes, and in such a way that every one of the graduates holds a good position, for men having the degree of Ph. G. or B. S. conferred upon them by Purdue University are always in demand. The building in which the mysteries of pharmacy are taught is the nucleus of the foremost technical school in America, and, therefore, is the oldest and most dilapidated. It was Doctor Smart ' s wish that this department should receive the much- needed new building, and had he lived there is no doubt but that his intention would have been carried out. Our new presi- dent does not look upon us as his predecessor did, so we can only hope for the best. When the committee from the State Legislature visited Purdue last fall, they were not permitted to inspect the pharmacy building for fear they would grant a new one without Doctor Stone ' s asking for it, thereby spoiling all his plans for a new chapel ( ? ) and several less-important things. Professor Green and his efficient corps of associate professors have, by their untiring efforts, brought this school to a very high degree of perfection, which is shown by the fact that very few people of Indiana go out of the State to obtain an edu- cation in this line. When one first starts in this course, he is taken in charge by Professor Green and taught the mysteries of chemistry, both inorganic and organic, and later on the weird knowledge of physiological chemistry, which is always appreciated in after life. Under the careful instructions of Professor Hoak he learns the English, Latin and scientific names of most all the drugs used in the treatment of disease. Professor Sturmer has charge of the subject of pharmacy and it is needless to say that it is well taught. The student is taught to make, in the laboratory, all the most important preparations found in the United States Pharmacopoeia, and as this is very important, much time is devoted to it. In qualitative analysis the student learns how to separata all of the metals by a scheme of Professor Green ' s ; and it can be said that it is one of the best known to science. When he returns for the second year ' s work, the same professors instruct him in organic chemistry, materia medica, manufacturing chemistry and pharmacy, quantitative analysis, toxicology, pharma- ceutical assaying, analysis of urine, microscopic analysis of drugs, and prescription work.. After all these subjects have been carefully gone over, there is a final examination conducted by the Committee of Education of the Indiana Pharmaceutical Association aud the faculty of the School of Pharmacy. No student is allowed to take this examination unless his previous scholarship is satisfactory. The pharmacy law of the State requiring aU persons selling at retail, or compounding for sale at retail, any poison, or compound containing a poison, to be duly licensed, has caused the number of students to increase greatly, as any person not a graduate of some school of pharmacy could never hope to pass this much dreaded examination. In the past year Professor Vanderkleed has analyzed the stomachs in two poison cases. The first was the Hasenf uss case in Ft. Wayne, in which he found 11% grains of arsenic. It was largely due to his evidence that the murderer was sentenced to a term of twenty-one years. The second case was at Fowler, Indiana, in which he found one-half grain of strychnine. Professor Sturmer has been collecting data for a Lab. Manual in Manufacturing Pharmacy, which is expected to make its appearance very shortly after the advent of the United States Pharmacopceia of 1900. In his more recent experimental work he dealt with the following subjects: Gum-resin emulsions, ethyl nitrite, spirit of nitrous ether, phosphorus preparations, pill coating, preparations of castor and cod-liver oil.

I N looking at the finished products of any manufacturing establishment, one seldom realizes the amoimt of work necessary to produce them, unless he himself is interested in the manufacture, or has taken part in the production. It is only when a man comes in contact with tools, and the men who handle them, that he can appreciate the length of time and the pains necessary to acquire the skill of the artisan, whose time is of value to the manufacturer. The average freshman who takes up the study of engineering at Purdue, not only fails to appreciate these things, but he is ignorant of the nature of some of the commonest tools. It is true that he has seen chisels, saws, hammers, and many other common tools, but he has very faint ideas, if any, concerning the different tools required for different kinds of work, or of the pains necessary in handling them to any ad- vantage. His previous training has had practically no connection with the work of a technical school. It is evident, therefore, that the instruction must be of the most elementary character at first ; and that the progress must be very rapid, to give the student an adequate idea of the work. It must be thorough, too, if it is to be of lasting benefit. With this in mind, the function of the Department of Practical Mechanics, and the diificulties which Professor Golden and his corps of instructors are called upon to face, may be somewhat appreciated. Tliey must bring the under-classmen in contact with phases of work and thought with which they are, for the most part, entirely unfamiliar. In fact, none of them can be familiar with many of the things they are called upon to learn. Yet it is expected that, at the end of two years, the student will be able to discuss shop practice intelligently, to apply what he has learned to the design of machinery, and to he able to grasp the more intricate technicalities which engross his attention during the Tunior and Senior years. During the Freshman year. Professor Golden lectures on the theory of shop work ; and in the drawing-room, woodshop, and foundry, the students put into practice what they learn in the lecture room. In the drawing-room they make drawings of various parts of machines. Then in tlie woodroom, they make patterns according to the drawings, and in the foundry they use the patterns for making molds. During the Sophomore year, the shop work is done in the forge shop and machine shop. The lectures of the first year ' s work are superseded by recitations in descriptive geometry. The equipment of the shops, while not so heavy as that of a large majority of manufacturing establishments, is of such a nature as to give the student a good idea of the various kinds of machines used on different classes of work. Additions are made from time to time, in order to keep iip with the most advanced practice. The turret lathe in the machine shop was the first of its kind to be used in a technical institution. In the foundry a traveling crane has just been installed. A trimmer, for use in pattern-making, has been added to the woodroom equipment ; and various minor improvements have been made in the forge room. Department of Mathematics.

LL technical work is dependent more or less upon the application of mathematical principles. Even in such i technical studies as do not require the direct application of higher mathematics, the training afforded by its study is invaluable. And in a sehool like Purdue University, where the various branches of engineering are taught, it is of special importance that the Department of Mathematics be strong. A common criticism of technical schools is, that the mathematical instruction is not of a practical nature, too much attention being given to theoretical work. This criticism is being recognized by tech- nical schools, and, in Purdue especially, an attempt has been made to give the technical student just such mathematical training as he can apply to best advantage. The mathematics of the class room is applied directly to the labora- tory and drawing-room work. The entrance requirements in mathematics are so low that the engineering student has to spend more time in this study than students of other technical schools of equal rank. While it might be better if the student could give some of the time spent in the study of mathematics to the study of some subject that bears more directly upon his chosen profession, yet the greater thoroughness of the instruction given here should not be overlooked. However, with the beginning of next school year, the entrance requirements in mathematics will be raised. But even then they will be lower than those of the majority of technical schools. Purdue has been especially favored in the corps of professors and instructors in the Department of Mathematics. The acquisition of Messrs. Kenyon, Osborne, and Westlund has strengthened the department very much. During the past year a very interesting series of discussions of the integration of elliptic functions was led by Mr. Westlund. These lectures were attended by the members of the mathematics department, and by senior and graduate students. The increase in attendance at Purdue last year forced the University management to turn the south end of the dormitory into recitation rooms for the accommodation of tlie mathematics department. It was too bad to deprive a large number of newcomers of the pleasures of dormitory life, but the increased facility with which the imder-classmen can be attended to, justi- fies the change.

IH HE work of the Department of Literature ia intended to give the student the ability, not only to speak and write the English language correctly and effectively, but to open up to him the great mines of wealth in English and American literature. The student who fails to master the English language and who is weak in its interpretation finds him- self handicapped in everj ' other line of work in the University. Proficiency in English may be likened o the Rosetta Stone, in that it is the key wherewith the doors of learning may be unlocked. Because of the C 5 ? 5p importance and fundamental character of this work the department has been made quite strong, notwith- l raHi! ?5S« standing the fact that the University is a technical institution. The work for the four years may be roughly outlined as follows : The work of the Freshman year consists of a drill in Composition work, in Rhetoric and a study of American Literature. In the Sopho- more year a study is made of the literature of the periods represented by Milton, Pope, Burns, and Tenny- son. The work of the Junior year consists of a study of English prose writers, special attention being paid to the essay and the novel. The origin and growth of the English language is also studied in this year, the work being presented in a series of lectures. In the Senior year Shakespeare and Bro vning are studied. Various lines of work are offered in Post Graduate Literature. Ruskin, Victor Hugo and Emerson have been taken up for the past two years. The free and informal exchange of ideas in the more advanced classes of this department is certainly most beneficial and wiU, doubtless, in after years, be not the least pleasant of the recollections of college days. The method employed in this department is strikingly educational rather than instructional. Mrs. Emma Mont. McRae, the head of the department, is so well known throughout this and adjoining States, as authoress, lecturer and educator, that com- ment upon her work is entirely unnecessary ; however we might add that her ability and resources are best appreciated by those who know her as teacher. Miss Mary Doan has been an instructor in this department for iive years. Miss Doan is an alumnus of Purdue Univer- sity and of Earlham College. She has also studied at Cornell University and at Chicago University. She is thoroughly pro- ficient in her work. Miss Doan is a hard-working teacher and one who succeeds in getting hard work from her pupils. Miss Caroline Shoemaker, also an alumnus of Purdue University, and a woman of broad culture, has been added to the list of instructors in the English Department this year. The work in the Department of History and Economics is characterized by definiteness, thoroughness, and precision. Three distinct courses on History are offered ; namely, General History, English History, and American History. The course in General History embraces the history of the Egyptians, the Chaldeans, the Phoenicians, the Hebrews and the Greeks, together with a careful consideration of the Feudal System, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the French Revolu- tion, and the career of Napoleon I. One of the most beneficial features of the work in this department is the extensive ac- quaintance with writers of History and Political Economy, gained through extensive collateral reading. The Library is well-equipped with works iipon History and Economics by such writers as Stubbs, Hallam, May, TasweU- Langmead, Creasy, Gardiner, Green, Traill, Bryce, Cooley, Freeman, Curtis, Johnston, Sterne, Hare, Story, and Walker. Lectures alternate with recitations. Topics are assigned the student for investigation. The recitation work does not consist in a dry rehearsal of facts, but the student is led to think, to consider and to deduct for himself a philosophy of his- tory. The work in this department is carefully planned and ably executed. As Purdue University is essentially a technical school, not so much attention can be paid to the German Department as at other institutions of a more classical nature. By no means, however, is this language neglected, and the knowledge gained from its study is of a practical as well as cultural nature, and enables the student to be more proficient in the line of work he has undertaken. Tor students in the School of Science, the course in Grerman is continued through the four years. The Freshman and Sophomore years are spent in the study of the grammar of the language, with composition work, and some easy reading. Dur- ing the Junior and Senior years the student becomes acquainted with some of the German classics, and does some scientific reading along the lines of chemistry, biology, or whatever science he is interested in. The course for Engineering students consists of only two years. During this time attention is paid to the grammatical construction of the language, and reading along literary as well as teclmical lines. Purdue University offers a four years ' course in French. The following is a brief outline of the work : First and funda- mentally a study of verbs. First and all tlie time the study of grammar and composition. Then comes the reading of scientific French, the study of the History of French Literature and of writings purely literary in their character. The conversation drill is an important feature of the work. There is, naturally, a certain amount of drudgery to be done in the first two years, and yet one feels amply compensated for it, when, at the end of four years, he finds himself able to read, with perfect ease, the writings of such men as Balzac, Moliere, Comeille, Eacine and Victor Hugo ; when he finds that, aside from mental disci- pline acquired in the work, aside from a fair understanding of spoken French, he has, at least, a birdseye view of the great Frencli literature. This department is particularly fortimate in having at its head Madame Davies, a woman of exceptional and rare attainments. The dead languages are left out of the curriculum from the fact that a knowledge of these languages is worthless, so far as scientific and technical investigation is concerned. From a cultural standpoint, German and French are worth as much and even more than Latin and Greek, and from a scientific and technical standpoint they are worth infinitely more. The Department of Psychology is also in the hands of Madame Davies. The course consists of four recitations per week, from September to February. The work consists of lectures and recitations. This is the class in which the student philosopher finds an opportunity to unburden his mind and to propound the various questions that puzzle him. The teaching of Psychology at Purdue is no child ' s play, for the reason that while many of the students are perfectly at home in dealing with the concrete, they are completely at sea when dealing with the abstract. Objective facts present no difficulties, while the investigation of subjective truths is, to many of them a new and an unexplored region. Music and Art. HE AET Department of Purdue gives instruction in drawing, china painting, and wood carving, and trains the student to become critical and observant in matters of art. Since the ability to draw or to appreciate (_,,_j drawing is necessary to an understanding of the language of art, drawing is made the basis of the work of E QQ the department, the first two years of the course being devoted to this subject. The third and fourth years are given to wood carving and china painting. At the end of each school year the Art Department makes an exhibit of the year ' s work. In this exhibit one gets some idea of the scope of the depart ment, and of the artistic effects that skillful wood carving and china painting can produce. Space does not permit an adequate description of this exhibit. Suffice it to say, that there must be a great deal of pleasure and gratification for both student and instructor, in being able to show such exquisite results of labor. The department is under the direction of Miss Laura A. Fry, Professor of Industrial Art, who gives instruction in china painting. Miss Fry has been a pupil of W. H. Fry, wood carver, and Louis T. Rebisso, sculptor, of Cincinnati. She has also been a member of the Art Students ' League of New York. Miss Nellie P. Samson, the instructor in wood carving, comes to Purdue after having studied iu the Art Students ' League of New York, and the Art Acad- emy of Cincinnati. The Department of Music is under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Millspaugh, whose voice has won the admiration of aU music lovers who have heard it. Miss Millspaugh has studied music under Mr. Frederic Pease of Ypsilanti, Mrs. Ida Norton of Detroit, Mr. William Courtney of New York, and Miss Lena Little of Boston. Besides the regular work, Miss Millspaugh has trained the College Glee Club this year, with most satisfactory results. Miss Mabel Morrison, who gives instruction in piano music, is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College, where she studied with Dr. Ziegfeld and Dr. Sohoenfeld. She took several medals in 1899 for harmony and composition. Mr. George Lindner has recently come to Purdue as instructor in the use of the violin and other stringed instruments. He has been a student of Fischer and Carl Lindner of Berlin, and also of Beresina and Schoenfeld of Chicago. The Mandolin Club has enjoyed criticism and instruction from Mr. Lindner during the past year. The Library. ,0 SCHOOL is complete without a library, and since we pride ourselves on our completeness, it is but right that some passing mention should be made of ours. The roof of the main building shelters its priceless volumes — it is in close proximity with the office, immediately below our historic chapel, and altogether has an ideal location. SmaU and compact, comfortable and convenient, it is aU that could be asked for. Piled high around the walls in se- curely-fastened shelves is a rich store of learning in which the studiously inclined may seek for information on vague and unintelligible subjects. Nothing light or frivolous, nothing calculated to start a chuckle echoing through its aisles of books can be found here. No, gentle reader, we are students ; nothing else. Here come the sick and the weary to drop their excuses into that mystic receptacle which holds in store for those who cut classes, much pain and explanation. Clharming maidens grace the polished tables, and between snatches of pretended study discuss the latest patterns in shirt-waists, or who is the handsomest man in school. Beware, young ladies, lest the stem guar- dian of these learned halls be near enough to hear the undue disturbance, and marching toward you with a stem and unforgiv- ing glance, forbid those whispered conversations. But this same guardian is not all frowns. Observe the patience with which she stirs among the dusty volumes, aiding some confiding Freshman in unearthing some knowledge of The Use and Abuse of a Claw Hammer. Notice, some time, if you choose, the grace with which she distributes excuse blanks after chapel. Half the pleasure in cutting classes is to get from her that little slip of paper on which we write, with praiseworthy regularity, that one word, Sickness. And her assistant, too, who guides us through the maze of books in her superior ' s absence. How en- tertainingly she discourses on books and people, how eagerly she helps to find the sought-for reference. ' Twould be an awful bore without these two, to have to spend long precious minutes looking up a name or formula for next, day ' s work, but with them there, how time will fly ! Some day, perhaps long years from now, some old alumnus, growing old in years and with an overflowing purse, wiU have erected in his name a beautiful new library in which to store the ever-accumulating works of learned men, which we possess or will possess. Then the Freshmen will point at it with pride and enter to seek out learning. Dignified Seniors will issue from its doors bearing their burden of books and knowledge. It will be weU, indeed, if, with the greater magnificence, the library can retain that homelike air which the present librarian has made so characteristic of it. School of Mechanical Engineering.

To a casual observer, they were only Freshmen. True, but they were not as ordi- nary Freshmen are. They were firm believers in what is called the strenuous life, and so fully have they lived up to the tenets of their faith, that we feel sure that they have earned a lasting place in the mem- ory, if not in the affection, of Purdue ' s esteemed President. The class of 1901 has always ranked high in its school work. This necessitated diligent application to the lessons assigned ; but ' 01 stiU found time to devote to other forms of college activity. Perhaps the best way for a student to show college spirit is, to take an interest in athletics; and so athletics has claimed a large share of attention from our class. Since its first entrance into the life of Purdue, no athletic team has battled for the Uni- versity that did not have among its number some representative of ' 01. In the Freshman year the class was represented in the ' Varsity eleven by Robertson, now well knovm in the football world. Class elevens were formed, and during the season our team showed the ' 00 team the fine points of the game. The score, 8 to 0, tells the story of how the haughty Sophomore was forced to admit ' Ol ' s superiority. But our class also learned that year to meet defeat manfully and to honor a victorious rival. On November 17, our team was beaten 22 to by our friends of ' 99. This is the first and only defeat that ' 01 has ever suffered at the hands of another class ; and it is not to be wondered at, when we remember that seven of that ' 99 class team made the ' Varsity team the next season. The fall of ' 98 witnessed the continuation of ' Ol ' s victorious football career. On October 13, the Freshmen were beaten 5 to 0. The fact that no other class games were played, causes the list of victories to be so small. We are glad to record that this year four members of our class won places on the ' Varsity. Our Junior year found us once more imbeaten in football. On November 11, the eleven defeated the Pine Village eleven 16 to 0. On the 25th, 1901 and 1902, played a tie game, to 0. But for the fact that ' 02 played for time and did aU in its power to delay the game, ' 01 would surely have been again victorious. It is school history how ' 00 claimed the class cham- pionship this year, despite the fact that they never met our team. Repeated challenges from us were not accepted. And it was well for ' 00, as a game would have meant certain defeat for them. This year found six of the class on the ' Varsity with one of our number, Eobertson, as Captain. In the fall of 1900, the ' Varsity was for the seeond time captained by Purdue ' s noted pimter. This is the only time that one player has been twice honored by being elected Captain, and we are proud to claim Robbie as a member of ' 01. November 17 added another victory to our class team ' s long list. The Jimiors ' hopes were shattered and their boasts silenced, for they were beaten by a score of 11 to 0. Our Sophomore friends had on the 10th beaten the Freshmen 10 to 0. On the 24th, ' 01 and ' 03, played a tie game, neither side being able to score. The day was damp and raw, and the field a regular pond. This last fact made it almost impossible for ' Ol ' s fast backs to start. Whenever a dry spot was found, their rushers brought sure gains, but in the muddier parts of the field, they were powerless. ' 03 never had any hope of scoring, and played entirely on the defensive. While technically the question of supremacy remains unsettled, still, to any fair minded observer, it was evident that the Senior team was the strongest of the year. The class of 1901 has always taken great interest in baseball. Its Freshman year found it with two men on the ' Varsity nine. During each of the next two years six members of ' 01 helped win many a hard-fought game for our University. Under the leadership of our classmate, Bronson, for four years Purdue ' s best pitcher, this year ' s nine promises to do much to help the athletic standing of our school. In track athletics and gymnasium work our class has always been foremost. In the spring of ' 98 our men won all the bicycle races on local field day. At the State meet this same year two ' 01 men won seventeen points for Purdue. In the gymnasium contest all the wrestling bouts were won by our representatives. As Sophomores, the class continued to improve, and as a result seven of the ' 01 class were members of the track team. On local field day the first prize was awarded to Endsley, of ' 01. This year, as before, no other class had any wrestlers to com- pare with ours. Our Junior year found one of our number, Klipsch, Captain of the track team. This year our class won first place in the indoor meet, and Endsley easily captured the silver cup awarded to the man making the highest number of points. This year Endsley broke the State record for the pole vault, and tied the record for the high jimip. As a fitting tribute to athletic ability, Endsley will captain this year ' s track team, and we firmly believe that imder his direction the team will win many points for old Pivrdue. While the success of our class in athletics would seem to indicate that our spare time must have been fully occupied, such was not the case, and ' 01 found time and opportunity for various other displays of class spirit. The first day of school in its Freshman year the class made a gallant effort to put ' 01 upon the tank. The attempt was un- successful because of the fact that the Freshmen present were outnumbered two to one. Soon, however, a class election was held and Atkins was chosen president. Then the class was well organized and a sec- ond attempt made to paint the tank. After a hard fight the Sophomores were forced to admit defeat, and ' 01 was placed upon the tank and guarded till the break of day. After daylight, despite all traditions, the Sophomores put back their ' 00. All through the fall months tank fights were fought, with the result that ' 01 was generally on the tank. The Sophomores soon learned that the only safe times to put their numbers up were either Saturday morning, when all Freshmen had school work, or Sundays, which custom decrees should be given to other things than tank fights. During the first weeks of our Sophomore year the Freshmen class made many unsuccessful attempts to make the tank read ' 02. After having fully demonstrated its ability to humble ' 02, the Sophomores allowed them to put up their number. After the Sophomore year the men of ' 01 thought tliat their tank painting days were over, and looked forward with pleas- ant anticipation to the time when they might gather as veterans at the tank and see the Sophs and Freshies battle for su- premacy. But during this last year certain parties unknowingly violated all traditions by putting a large P. U. where nothing save class numerals had ever been seen before. Since no other class had both nerve and ability to take active steps to preserve time-honored customs, the tank painters of ' 01 fomid it necessary to once more don their painting garb and to replace the P. U. with ' 01. Since that time no further effort has been made to violate the established custom of having some class number on the tank, where it may be seen from the coUege campus. On March 4th of our Freshman year, all had assembled for the chapel exercises. Just as a hymn was about to be simg a large ' 01 banner suddenly appeared over the heads of the faculty. Then pandemonium broke loose and the exercises were sadly interrupted. For some days thereafter there were daily and often hourly, conferences between certain class men and a select few of the faculty. These, at times, threatened serious results for the class, but all the members of ' 01 proved loyal to the class and to one another, and the class roll was not cut down as a result of this episode. In the spring, ' 98 gave its Senior ball ; ' 99 and ' 01 combined to show the Seniors a time — and they did. As a result, several young ladies waited long for the Seniors who never came. Certain members of ' 00, to show their friendship for ' 98, captured two rather undersized Freshmen, whom they took three miles into the country and turned loose to walk home. As soon as ' 01 heard of this, three Sophomores were taken out as far as the poor farm and given opportunity to test their ability as pedestrians. In this, as in all other contests, ' 00 came out second best. When ' 99 gave its Senior ball the fact was made known that ' 01 would see that all who wished to go should do so. Through various encounters ' 00 had learned to respect the fighting ability of ' 01, so no attempt was made to interfere. At the close of our Freshman year a tall flagstaff was raised on the campus. During our Sophomore year it was noted that this flagpole was bare most of the time. But this was not to continue indefinitely. On the morning of May 25th it was discovered that a ' 01 banner was floating at the top of the flagpole and that the halyards were gone. That day the class was called together and informed by Dr. Stone that it must replace the halyards. This the class promptly refused to do. Next the class had read to it a paper, purporting to be an ultimatum, to the effect that our friend, the doctor, would be compelled to remove the pole unless the class would replace those halyards. Always ready to help in an emergency, the class offered the services of a committee to cut the pole. Having finally been brought to a realization of the fact that ' 01 couldn ' t be bluffed, Dr. Stone suggested — suggested, mind you — that the class appoint a committee to act with like committees from the other classes to replace the halyards. This proved acceptable to ' 01, and the joint committee succeeded in restoring the halyards on May 30th. This story from real life would serve as a companion number to George Ades ' little fable, The Bluff Who Couldn ' t Make Good. As Juniors, the members of ' 01 did not have opportunities to engage actively in class scraps, but spent considerable time initiating the class of 1903 into the mysteries of certain phases of college life. ' 03 men proved apt scholars, and the result has been that ' 02 and ' 04 have in succession been forced to acknowledge the prowess of these pupils of ' 01. During the past year we have tried to uphold our dignity as Seniors. And now, upon the eve of graduation, we look back- ward and see behind us four years of hard work, not unmixed with harmless fun and frolic. jVnd we feel that they have been years both pleasant and profitable. And as we leave this dear old school of ours we trust that in whatever positions of life we are placed we may do nothing but that which will add to the glory of our alma mater. Motto: Never say die.

V) U tis HE highway of life is marked here and there with important events, which indicate the passing of time. Every community has its own particular events, or, perhaps, we may term them milestones, wliich mark its progress along the road of life. Purdue University is such a commimity, and the Pharmacy class of ' 01 is such a milestone. For they arc the first class of a new century, which bids fair to be the most progressive century through which the world shall travel. In the fall of ' 99 when school opened at Purdue, the class of ' 01 presented itself with a larger enrollment than any previous class of the department. The first weeks of our school life passed away smoothly, and the class easily adapted itself to student life, notwithstanding the fact that it had been several years sine« some of our members had attended school. We soon became acquainted with the finer machinery of the department, i. e., the faculty ; and during the first few weeks thought them to be very easy going, but as the year grew older and the screws were tightened, we learned, by experience perhaps, that it would be necessary to us to use much oil before we could run as smoothly and rapidly as their standard demanded. Early in the year we organized, and thus put to shame the lack of class spirit, as evidenced by preceding classes, and at the same time set an example for those who should follow us. Every class ofBee was contended for and each election was close, which demonstrated the fact that we had lots of good executive material. The year passed all too slowly, and when vacation rolled around, it hardly seemed that our work was half completed, and that the associations of university life were to be al- lowed us but one year more. After an enjoyable vacation, ' 01 gathered together again in the old building which has been the birth-place of so many of the departments here at school. But we found that several of our number were missing, and that, like all other classes, we were to be diminished by circumstances over which we had no control. Still, we noticed there were many new faces in and around the building — timid, trusting faces, faces that gazed around with wide-open mouths and eyes, eager to absorb every thing that they could ; some tried to look wise, others indifferent, and others frightened ; but all succeeded in looking as green as the grass in the early spring time. These were the Jimiors. Alas ! A motley crowd from which to mould a class. As Seniors we proceeded to work and organized and elected officers for both the class and the Pharmaceutical Society ; the latter of which we had conducted during the last term of the previous year. It was at this time that we took some decisive steps, adopting a standard pin for pharmacy classes, and also one for the Pharmaceutical Society. After Christmas we found a few men missing from our class roll, who had been forced to surrender to the inevitable. But, nothing daunted, we assembled for the last stretch with men determined to finish, and to finish well. The work grew harder with each day, but our energy increased in proportion, and after the final examination for our diplomas, wo realized that as a class we had done credit to the faculty, the University, and to ourselves. We have been represented on the football team, track team, basketball team, also in indoor athletics, and on the glee club, and to the band we have furnished no less than seven men. Like our predecessors, we have been here only two years, but we have tried to demonstrate that we coidd not only handle our work in a capable manner, but that we were able and willing to support every organization of the University in every way d that as we leave here and go out into the world, one of our foremost objects will be to reflect honor and credit on abua mater.

N THE year 1905 a party of civil engineers from the class of 1902 took the contract of surveying the Selvas of the Amazon. Old Sol was cruel, but after having had heat in physics what cared they for that — they were going to show the material out of which their class was made and make great names for them- selves. Six of the fellows had wandered off from the rest of the gang and had seated themselves under a group of coeoanut trees whose branches cast an enormous shadow. They were taking time oif for hmeheon. As they had plenty of time to think, it was natural that their thoughts should wander back to college days when so many eventful things took place. As the discussion became more animated, one fellow who grew more en- thusiastic than the others, suggested that they give the Purdue yell, and then their class yell, which they had so often given in chapel. This they did to see if they could bring down some cocoanuts. So with Gen. Cleary as leader — to make it seem more natural — they made the forest ring, and, sm-e enough, the cocoanuts began to fall, and looking up, they saw that the tree was inhabited by monkeys. Oh, Boys ! yelled Cleary. Look at the Freshmen in the gallery ; Freshmen yell. Wouldn ' t that make you homesick? exclaimed little Shimer, who thought more of hat sweet place called home, than of being notorious. I say, fellows, said Walters, to go back to our class, think of the noted persons that were in it. There was Dirham, what an artist ! And as an orator, he couldn ' t be beaten — imless it was DuShane, who was also a noted football player — and as for a runner, if we all could run like Dirham, we wouldn ' t fear the wild animals down here. And there was Papa Aitkenhead, not only was he a freak of nature when it came to physics, but his literary abil- ity was something wonderful. You have said hardly a word about athletics, spoke up Geo. Smith, who couldn ' t stand to see such a thing as that neg- lected. There was Lynch, the all-around athlete, who won the cup two years in succession. And talk about our football players — what was Davidson ? And our class didn ' t have to practice to leave the ' OS ' s out of sight. Think of the exciting foot- ball game between the ' 02 and ' 03 Chemicals. Dietrich made a touch down and the game ended with a regular Yale finish, for just as time was called. Van Natta kicked goal, making the score 6 to in favor of the ' 02 ' s. Well, boys, said Walters, it ' s time to go to work, so you might as well stop now. You could talk till Doom ' s Day about the wonderful deeds of the ' 02 class.

Mmilligi N SEPTEMBER 13, 1900, we, the Knights of the Soda Founts of Indiana and sister States, made our g ■ B advent into college life at Purdue. We were a peculiarly happy set, for a few days at least. For were M H 1 we not now in college, something of which we had dreamed many times ? And in our pockets could we p B not feel a wad, a condition very extraordinary for us ? And then that talk hy Professor Green the mm lBI first day! Was not that enough to inspire even wooden men ? And in the half -page that was written to mother, and the first number of the twelve to sixteen-page issue that was sent to Nancy, how we eulogized the University ' s good fortune in securing such bright lights as we. But before many days had passed, there came a change of feeling. Many experienced for the first time what is meant by that peculiar word (and still more peculiar feeling) homesickness. And that wad in our pockets melted quicker than the proverbial June frost. And the skeletons of those grahpic formulas haunted us in our dreams, and, like Banquo ' s ghost, would not be downed. But ere many weeks, this feeling also passed, giving place to one of acceptance of our position, and a determination to get the most of pleasure and profit out of our work and residence here. Fifty-one members began work with the class. Sickness, examinations, and all other causes have reduced the number but slightly. From the first, there has been a strong feeling of good will betwe«n the members of the class. Many of the classmen have been in business and recognize the importance of making themselves friendly. Of course, we organized and succeeded, after some difficulty, in securing a suitable yell (suitable to us, at least), much to the delight (or else not, we can ' t tell from here), of the Seniors who had harassed (?) us, and huimiliated( ? ) us by calling, whenever a Junior hove in sight, Junior Yell, Jiuiior YeU, when they knew the Jimiors had no more yell than the average student has surplus sawbucks. The class had no representative on the football team last fall. However, it has been loyal to the cause of athletics and has supported it by purse and presence. In anything for the advancement of athletics, the class could be counted. Strawn, a member of the class, is Secretary of the Association. Fully one-half of the class have worked in stores and will have the requisite amoimt of experience to write on the State Board Examination at the close of the Senior year. At this, the close of the Junior year, we believe we have not labored in vain. We believe the doctored sugar, the hot honey, and the almond saturated with ferula foetida each has its place. The spirit which has characterized the first year ' s work, wiU no doubt characterize aU the work of the class, and bids fair to make the Pharmacy class of 1902 one which wiU bring honor to the University, and circles of this and other States. which will make itself felt in the business Class of X)3 Motto : 1899-1903— The best of both .

History of Class 1903, N WRITING a history of the Sophomore class, it requires some effort to describe the wondrous things they have done, and are capable of doing, in the small space allowed for that purpose. Happily, in speaking of our achievements, we never have spoken in derision of other classes to illustrate tlie prominence of our own ; nor will we deride them. All classes in Purdue have been and are excellent, and our superiority over all of our predecessors is only in accordance with the fundamental principles of the divine right of kings, or, as we are Americans, the survival of the fittest. « LJ To enumerate briefly some of the victories and accomplishments of our class — not in a spirit of boasting, hH P but for the truth of history — we will say that in athletics, while yet Freshmen, our baseball team won a victory over the Sophomores of last year, the score being 21 to 6 in our favor. This year in football in the Univer- sity-championship game in which we met the Seniors, the score was a tie — a feat never before performed by a Sophomore class. In the annual tank scrap, ours is the first Sophomore class that ever had its number on the tank and maintained it against all opposition. Our parade of the Freshmen through the streets of La Fayette, and their sleepless vigil on Thanksgiving eve on our accoimt, we regard as mere incidents of college life, in which proper respect was shown by them tx our superiority. Our class has the honor of furnishing the captain of next year ' s football team, and five of its most efficient players. In the annual track meet, the class of ' 03 won a signal victory, making a score so high that no other class made more than half as many points. The State ' s record in the running broad jump was broken by one of our men. The Purdue basketball team is composed of Sophomores, with the exception of one man. The band, which is the pride of the University, and pronoimced by aU competent judges of music to be one of the finest college bands in the country, was organized and instructed by a member of our class, and has now, in the second year, t«n of our men. In the foregoing, we, of course, take great pride ; but yet we regard our victories as a matter of fact. Our greatest joy is in our unanimity of thought and action and faith in each other, and in our strict adherence to correct principles. What- soever things are true, is the rule and guide of our faith. Whatsoever things are honest, is our rugged virtue. Whatsoever things are just, is the foundation of our class structure. Whatsoever things are pure, is our chief aim. Whatsover things are lovely predominate in the class of 1903. Class of 04 Motto : Excelsior. Coi,ORS : Blue and white. YKI,!.

EPTEMBER 11th, 1900, marks the day made famous in all history by the arrival at Purdue of a great and mag- nificent class of students, who thus early in their college career have become the recognized standard for strength and general excellence by faculty and student alike — the class of ' 04. On the day this class first beheld the magnificent temples of learning scattered here and there on the spreading campus. Nature, ever conservative and clinging to the old order of things, seeing with omniscient eye that here was a class of men who one day were destined to overcome her and make use of her most fundamental laws in their swift and unimpeded progress in scientific and engineering lines, did her utmost to bar their entrance. She hurled her fiercest winds down upon them, and such an upheaval of dust was never seen before. Nothing daunted, however, they defied her and continued to pour in by the hundreds. The coming of this class also marks a distinct epoch in the life of the University. With it the enrollment of Purdue reached the highest point in its history and passed the one thousand mark. As this vast host, the largest class that ever crossed the portals of Purdue, exceeding in number the wildest hopes of the most sanguine, came pouring in to matriculate, the faculty trembled and fell to wondering what could be done with them. But all things are possible at Purdue, and affairs were soon running smoothly. One of the first things noticed by the Freshmen was the exemplification of the old adage, The last shall be first. Con- sequently they climbed up to their perch next the roof and from this proud and dizzy height looked down upon all others. After the S. E. O. sign had been displayed in their crowded quarters, the class at once proceeded to give its yell. Can there in all history be found another instance of a Freshman class yelling at first chapel exercises ? Truly this is a wonderful in- stance of their progressiveness. Next in order after they had paid their money and signed the book, was class organization. They proceeded at once not to follow the example of their predecessors, the Sophomores, who, in their Freshman year, attained notoriety only by their constant internal strife, but set to work in a truly laudable and business-like manner to organize the class. Knowing that their numerals should be on the tank in place of the ones then disfiguring that historical monument, they at once set out to put them there. A few scraps took place, much to the sorrow of the Sophs, who, transfixed by fear and • For velocity and direction of wind on said day, see weather charts at U. S. Experimental Station. in a paroxysm of terror, enlisted the faculty to intercede in their behalf. A truce was made which was promptly broken by the Sophs. War was again declared and ' 04 was soon on the tank to proclaim the superiority of the Freshmen. The Sopho- mores, now terror-stricken and awed by the size, strength and quality of this invincible army, soon laid aside their supercil- ious airs, very properly surrendered to a stronger opposing force, and looked up to them with a truly laudable reverence. The strength of the Freshman class in athletics was then discovered, and it soon had thirteen men on the ' Varsity football squad, several of whom will long be remembered for their brilliant playing. At every game the cheers for Freshman players were heard above all others. Even after giving up their best, as they did, for ' Varsity work, the class team, thus handicapped, did surprisingly good work. At the annual meeting of the Athletic Association, a Freshman Vice-President was elected, much to the chagrin of the Sophomores, who, unsophisticated, last year displayed a most deplorable ignorance of political mechanism. It has been proven that the quality of the Freshman class is in the same ratio as its quantity, for they have active representatives taking leading parts in all the college organizations appealing to the more intellectual or aesthetic sense. The Literary Societies, Glee Club, Mandolin Club, and Band, all have recognized the merit of their Freshman members. In scholarsliip, too, they are in the foremost ranks. After the class had become initiated into the mysteries of Mikeol- ogy and had become acquainted with him whose vigorous blue pencil is surpassed in length only by his name and the future perfect passive of the verbs he loves, great things were forthcoming. But no rose is without its thorn, no gold without some dross. There is a sad story told of a few Crreen, Yaung Freshmen, tender as a Swan Fry, proud as a Ransomed King with their Pence jingling in their pockets, who feeling strong as Samson, Dooley Troop-ed along with step as light as CouU-BT Ferry, to take their Test-a. With Hatt-s too small for their Smart heads, they Latta well Doan be their expected reward. They found the Tests not so easy as playing Duck on Davie with the Miller or Shoe- maher at home and their Heis-aet and Golden expectations were Nye killed when their professors, all J oners, would not Turn-er-Tonnd that their Faculties might receive assistance. They Plumb flunked out and were advised Mor-an more to Sea-Stone, until when Mary Christmas came they did not return from their Westlund homes. The work of this great and noble class has but just begun ; but this in so auspicious a manner as to augur unparalled suc- cess. Whatever the future may hold in store for them, they will always look back to their Freshman year with satisfaction, for in spite of their great number the class of ' 04 is bound together by a strong class feeling and genuine good fellowship. But greater than all is their love for Old Purdue. Editor ' s Note: Wouldn ' t that Jar you? ATHLETICS Athletic Association. Officers. J. M. Davidson, ' 02, .... President. J. B.

Athletics — Past, Present and Future. I HE athletic situation has been rather gloomy for the last two years ; there has been little encourage- ment to be had from our continued defeats ad- ministered at the hands of our old rivals. It was not so a few years ago, and that very fact makes the present situation only more discouraging. Failure is not a pleasant thing to face. It takes the life out of our new endeavors and there is always the tendency to give up hope. A sure way to overcome defeat is to find out what was the cause, and when starting anew, profit by your mistakes. It is not hard to find the mistakes we have made, nor the causes which have led to our making them. What is and has been the cause ? To speak plainly, if not pleasantly, it is indifference and lack of proper spirit, not of a few who have done their best to avert the present cloud, but of the student body at large. No enterprise, large or small, can be carried on successfully without some sort of united effort on the part of those interested. Some might say that they are not interested in athletics. So long as sport is controlled and man- aged by the student body, they are interested, as much as in their class affairs or their society transactions. Do you think for a moment that athletics would have lasted a week when it was first introduced as a factor in this school ' s affairs, had not those predecessors of ours united themselves as a body to foster and protect it ? You say athletics is firmly established now and so does not need your personal attention. Suppose everyone said that, where would we land ? Tlie contrast is great between those determined men who put all their energies into its develop- ment and ourselves who stand by and would see it die out. The fault lies at our door, and we must seek to remedy it. We lack that essential esprit du corps that dominated in the early days of our athletic history. In the old days a man, if he was not by nature constituted to win laurels on the athletic field, devoted his voice and his pocketbook to the support of that which is the idol of a college man — his team. Had it not been so, could we ever have won the Western championship in foot- ball, or sent world-record men to the track meets ? We are better fitted to do such things now than we were then ; but we don ' t. Yes, that is the whole story; they did, we don ' t. Is it any wonder the old alumni ask, What is the matter, why don ' t you do something ? They did things for themselves, we want somebody to do for us. We have lost sight of that old-time spirit that found voice on Stuart Field in determined cheers, even in the dark moments of defeat. It is not a thing that a man brings with him to college, it is something that he learns after he gets there, some- thing that he absorbs in his daily round, at his work, at his recreation. It is cultivated, not born ; and if there is no seed, there is no flower. If we have lost it, there is no seed left to give to the new arrivals who follow us. Somewhere, surely, there is the mother root with a spark of life left ready to burst in a bright flame with only the right encouragement. Seek it out, give it your aid. It is time that all of us were awakened to the true situation, we have lost our interest in the one thing that concerns the student body the most. If money is what we need to carry on the work, give the money ; it won ' t fall from the sky. If support is needed on the field, give yours ; some other man may not have enough manli- ness in him to give his. It is going to be a long, up-hill climb from now on for several years. Most of us do not realize that we have been gradually slipping backward until we are almost at the bottom, and we do not take the situation seriously enough. The present state of affairs is the most serious one we have yet had to face, but if we do not act at once and with concert, there will be much more serious situations in the years to come. Now is the time to begin action and save our best efforts for the con- tinuation of Athletics in future years. Next year we must win, and the years afterward. There must be no such word as fail ; each one must put his shoulder to the wheel, to help out of the rut. Those of us who are about to sever our active connection with the University realize the task before you, and will always look forward to the success of the Black and Old Gold. Football. A. P.

HE cradle of athletics is the gymnasium, in which the aspiring youths who represent their college on the diamond, or the gridiron, or the track, labor and practice to attain the strength and skill with which to best their opponents. The college of the present day is not complete without it; teams cannot win without it. Many of the larger schools in the country have housed their athletic interests in the finest building on their campus. Where are we ? Back in one corner of the college grounds, hidden by trees, is the barn-like structure we grace with the name of gymnasium. Used as a driU hall imtil the class of ' 95 equipped it with partial appa- ratus, it is without any of the features that are considered neces- sities in the modem buildings. Is it any wonder that the stu- dent body takes but meager interest in its work or benefits? No baths, no lockers, no adequate heating appliances, no seat- ing capacity for spectators; that is what we are compelled to get along without, and still try to compete with colleges that embody aU these, and more, in their gymnasiums. The gymnasium ought to provide a means of keeping in training, all the year round, the various athletic teams supported by the college. It ought to provide a place to keep up the ath- letic enthusiasm of the student body during the winter months, by frequent indoor meets and basketball games. It gives a means of bringing out promising material for the track and baseball teams, before the weather admits of their venturing out of doors. It ought to allow space for night practice for the foot- ball team. It is a necessary adjunct to the daily life of the students who take no active part in school athletics. Is it strange that we do not stand at the top of the list, when we, who have none of these salient advantages, have to meet in con- tests the men who do ? An adequate, modem gymnasium, with all its accessories, is the crying need of the University. Witli all due respect to the powers that be, we believe that athletics, properly conducted, is good, and that it should not be discour- aged by old-fashioned prejudice against it. We need a new gymnasium, and means of supporting it, before we need many of the contemplated improvements. Football, HE football season of 1900 was in some ways a dis- any other, four of the regulars being out of the game. There astrous one. None of the big games resulted in a was, however, no letting up or soldiering, and the defeat can victory, although in one or two the scores do not only bo conceded on one groimd — the best team won. The pros- represent the respective merits of the opposing pects for next year are not extremely promising, but every teams. The State championship was for the sec- effort will be made by coaches Balliet and Jamison, to once more ond time lost to Indiana by a decisive score. The put out a winning team, team at that time was in worse condition than at Set edulB for 1901. Oct 5 Wabash nt La Fayette. La Payette. 12. Missouri a La Fayette. Bloomington 26.

Baseball Team. IHE Baseball Team of 1901 starts out with the brightest prospects and best schedule of any team in years. All of the old men, with the exception of M. M. Smith, ' 00, are back in the game and there is an abundance of new and promising material. Coach Fox has done I good deal of shifting of the men from one position to another, and it is sure to develop a strong combination. The schedule includes all the big teams in the West, and many of the lesser teams. With proper support the team is sure to win. The pitching staff is rather weak, as only two men have shown suf- ficient ability as yet. Of these Capt. Bronson is much the better, and will be relied upon t« carry the team through the hardest games. 1900 Record. April 14. Illinois Purdue 4 21. DePauw Purdue 8 27. Notre Dame Purdue 10 28.

Basketball. 1 1 E Basketball Team is the newest and most promising team in the school. It was or- ganized at the close of the football season, aTid under the efficient care of Manager Curd a good schedule of games was ar- ranged. An unbroken record of victories over the best teams in the State gives to us the honor of State champions without dispute. This branch of athletics is well worth cultivating as a means of keep- ing our athletes in good condition during the winter montlis, when little or no active work is done. It is a vigorous and excit- ing game as played by men who have had abundant experience on the gridiron and the diamond, both of which sports it com- bines. The present team has deserved the hearty support it has received at the hands of the student body. Let us hope that next year ' s team will be as successful. The next season ' s Captain is Eeimann, and the financial and business affairs will be con- ducted again by Manager Curd. With the same team and man- agement, and the prestige due to an unbroken line of victories, we are justified in looking forward in holding the State cham- pionship in basketball for at least another year.

EVING enjoys being the parent literary ll V society of our institution, having been HH the first organization of its kind at Pur- ||H ilue. Since its organization in 1875, ■ H tlie society has undergone a healthy I L growth in prestige as well as in uum- S S hers. The membership of the past year, ' although below the limit, has been of that ideal number which best permits of excellent work and good fellowship. The annuals serve as indications of the quality of the work done by the societies, and of the ma- terial of which the societies are composed. Irving ' s annvials have always spoken well for the efforts of its members. The extreme scientific and commercial atmosphere that seems to pervade our University and everytliing connected with it, does not encourage excellence in literary attainment. Yet tlie society feels that the character of its work is fully up to the standard of that attained in like organizations in schools of more decidedly literary character. Although the work is designed merely to give the members a fair imderstanding of composition, elocution, and parliamentary law, several men, occupying prom- inent places in the literary world, have been, we are proud to say, members of Irving during their college careers. The aim of the society is to elect only such members as have shown literary ability, or have expressed a desire to bene- fit themselves by the literary training Irving affords. Exclus- iveness resulting from the literary qualifications required is re- inforced by certain social qualifications. But in spite of tliis exclusiveness, the all-round intellectual development of its mem- bers is what the society is ever striving for ; and the unvsritten law of the society is, The members are not for Irving; but Irving is for its members.

NE Friday night in the winter of 1881, tliere met togetlier in a room in the Dorm. twenty-six young men, stu- dents of Purdue University, who there organized the Purdue Literary Society, later changed to Carlyle. Realizing that in a purely scientific school a broad opportunity for literary work is needed, they organized the society so as to afford tjie greatest possible advantages for work of this kind. But although fundamentally founded for literary purposes, Carlyle has ever recognized the advantages to be derived from the social side of college life, and has ever striven to promote closer relations between her members and greater intimacy among all students. In furtherance of this object it has been their custom to give from time to time open meetings, mock trials and picnics, to which the student body are invited and cor- dially received. In University affairs and organizations Carlyle has ever been foremost. It is to this society that the Exponent owes its founding, after several previous attempts to start a college paper at Purdue had failed. In her annuals Carlyle has been sur- passed by none, and has often deviated from the long-trodden paths of custom, in giving special programs, plays, etc. But it is not alone during their college life that Carlyle takes an interest in her members, for after they have left her hall, their careers in life are followed with interest, and each success to which they attain is gi-eeted with pleasure by those who have taken up the work which they began. That this con- tinued interest is reciprocal, is shown by the granting of the Jones Medal, a medal given to some member of the society each year by a Carlyle alumnus. Thus have the purposes of the founders of Carlyle been carried out, until to-day she occupies a place second to none in the hearts of her members past and present, and in the opinions of all acquainted with her aims and the work which she has accomplished.

Une Reunion .Athletique par les membres de la Faculle. Erinersonian Literary Society. HE curriculum of a teclmieal school cannot give the best opportunity for literary training, and for this reason the literary societies have supplemented the work of the school. The Emersonian as a student organization holds its share of credit and honor and continues to make good progress under rules, regulations and customs that will enable it to continue its growth. The work of the society affords many opportunities, in keeping members in touch with the works of noted literary men ; training the members to think and express their thoughts when speaking in public, and gives good practice in composition. Another important feature is the training in parliamentary rules, which is very valuable to every American citizen. And the social advantages of any such an organization cannot help but be of value to its members. The Emersonian Literary So- ciety, though without a hall, and thus working under adverse circumstances, is, nevertheless, in a thriving condition. Emersonian Annual. Rev. H. T. Gary.

Koontz The Philalethean Literary Society. WEXTY-THEEE years ago the Philalethean Literary Society was organized. The object in view, in organizing this society was two-fold, literary and social. The primary object in its or- ganization was to supplement the work of the English Department, to encourage a taste for good literature and the use of good English, to enable its members to speak publicly with ease and fluency and to acquaint its members with correct parliamentary usage. The secondary object in its organization was for the purpose of enabling the girls of the University to become better ac :)uainted, that they might be mutually helpful. The standard of the work done by the society, at any given time, is dependent upon the personnel of the society. The society has been fortunate this year in having on its list of members the names of a number of very strong girls. The work of the society for the past year has been a study of French Art, Lit- erature, and History, together with frequent miscellaneous pro- grams. The field being a new one, the work, like all pioneer work, has been hard, and sometimes far from ideal, yet upon the whole, it has been beneficial and satisfactory. A number of special programs have been given during the year. It has not been the policy of the society to eulogize the work done, and for this reason the writer has sought to avoid that tendency in this write-up, believing that true worth, like murder, will out. One of the best indices to the work of a liter- ary society is the annual program. The Philalethean Society is perfectly satisfied to be judged by this standard. A beautiful gold medal, known as the McEae Medal, is awarded each year by Mrs. Emma Mont. McRae to the girl who, in the estimation of the society, is most proficient in the use of the English language, and who has been most prompt and loyal in the discharge of lier duties as member of the society.

Interest in the problems that are to come to the engineer after graduation prompted the founding of the society, and has kept it in its flourishing condition. It is here that the students of electrical subjects come more in contact, and are drawn together by a feeling of com- mon interest and purpose. The men of the four classes are eligible to membership. The fee is not burdensome, so none is deprived of its privileges on that account. The programs given at the regular semi-monthly meetings of the society are an index to its work. Subjects of current importance are treated by the members. Effort is made to bring out clearly the subject in hand, and the presenting of some of the difficult teclmical questions is very often accompanied by diagrams and sketches which aid materially. The benefit ob- tained from such participation is not all that a member gets from these meetings. The general discussion which foUows the presenting of the topic is very helpful. One part of the pro- gram is especially designed to keep the members in touch with the activity that is going on in the very circles in which we are preparing to take up our part. Any organization which can bring this help to its members is surely worthy of the time re- quired for attendance at its meetings or preparation for its pro- gram. Occasional talks by practical men are a source of much help, as they broaden our views or encourage us to greater inter- est and activity. Contact with such men is always helpful. This society fills a place in the work of the course which class-room and laboratory cannot supply. The society has the hearty encouragement and assistance of the department, yet there is the feeling that what the society is and what benefit can be gotten from it depends entirely upon the students of the School of Electrical Engineering. mmmi mm.

The Purdue Agricultural Society. HE Purdue Agricultural Society stands as one of the many live organizations of stu- dents which help to add interest and spirit to the daily work of the class-room and labora- tory. In point of membership and general attendance it stands at the head of the tech- nical societies. The Society is composed of students from the Four Year, Two Year and Winter Courses in Agriculture. Condi- tions for membership are, that you have been, are, or intend to be, a farmer; that you pay the membership fee, and sign the constitution. Of late years the Society has honored itself by enrolling among its members the ladies of the Short Course. Their presence and voice have added interest and refinement to the meetings. Besides the regular members, the Society has on its roll a number of honorary members, consisting of pro- fessors, instructors, assistants and prominent men in diiferent parts of the country who are interested in the field of agricul- ture. In the past the Society has sought to create a spirit of fel- lowship among-st its members, a personal interest in the School of Agriculture, and a direct interest in the progress of agricul- ture. As the measure of its success we have the strength of the present organization and the testimony of its graduate mem- bers. As a mark of the esteem which the members have for their Society, a suitable diploma is given upon graduation to the Two and Four Year members. During the present year a Society pin has been devised, representing the blending of science and practice in agriculture with Purdue as an exponent of its progress. The Society has for its purpose the cultivation of the mem- ber ' s power to more ably represent his calling, to give him a higher standing amongst his fellow-men and to make him a more useful member of the commimity in which he chooses to take up his life work. .

NE of the most interesting features of the Purdue School of Pharmacy is the Pharmaceutical So- ciety, the meetings of which are always looked forward to as sources of interest and pleasure. At these meetings the various methods of advertising, buying, etc., are repeatedly dis- cussed, and also the care and caution which should be exercised in a pharmacy. Professor Vanderklied was the first honorary member to read a paper before the Society, his being on Substitution, a subject much talked over in medical circles. Professor Sturmer gave a very interesting talk on the drug business, and it was enjoyed from start to finish. Professor Hoak occupied a full hour on tlie subject of Coca, Cocoa, Cacao and Cola, in which he told of the manufac- ture and use of Coca. He also gave a very interesting talk on the cocaine habit. Mr. Glick favored the Society vnth a talk on the State pharmacy law. Professor Biirrage lectured on bacteria, the source, effects and methods of analysis. Perhaps the most interesting paper read before the Society by a Senior was that of D. Ralph Lucas, late of Co. C, 160th I. v., upon the Army Pharmacist, in which he related the duties and routine work of that individual. Every member of the Society is e.xpected to read a paper on some fitting subject during his Senior year. D M. Green. . President. W. Lannerd, Vice-President. F. Harshaw Secretary and Treasurer. L M.

B I HE Pre-Medical Course is designed to prepare students for medical college, by giving them a good foundation in Physiology, Anatomy, (Jbemistry and Bacteriology. This it accom- plishes with such a degree of thoroughness that graduates from this course are given credit for one year in medical college. While the theo- retical and practical work of the class-room and lalidratory is very complete, still there are points of great importance to the Pre-Medical student which the text-books touch very lightly or not at all, and which he can learn only from the physician of many years ' experience, or the specialist. To this end the Pre-Medical Society was organized in 1899. Its object was, and is, to bring before the students medical men of practical ideas and experience, whose lectures wiU supple- ment the regular work of the course. The work of the Society this year has been in a measure different from that of preceding years. In time past, it was ths custom in the meetings to deal with subjects which were purely technical in character, and which were of interest only to those students who proposed to study medicine. This year a new plan has been adopted. The subjects for lectures are of general interest and importance, and everyone is invited to be present. The exact nature of these lectures may best be shown by citing a few of the subjects: First Aid to the Injured, dealing with the applications of bandages and tourniquets in bleeding wounds, and splints to sprained or broken limbs; Poisons, and Their Characteristic Effects, ex- plaining the effects of such poisons as arsenic, strychnine, mor- phine, etc. ; and Resuscitation of the Drowned, giving methods of procedure in the case of persons rescued from drowning. These are characteristic subjects. Others of equal interest might be mentioned. A number of the physicians of the city of La Fayette have addressed the Society during the year. Several lectures also have been given by prominent specialists from different parts of the State. The Pre-Medical Society meets the first and third Fridays of each month, in the Chemistry Lecture Eoom in Science Hall. The Society is in by far the most vigorous condition shown since its organization, both as to membership and attendance, and as regards the interest manifested in the work. IZATI0N5 Officers.

The chapter roll includes the names of one thousand four hundred colleges and universities located in all the student centers of the world. Y. M. C. A. °HE Young Men ' s Christian Association has been called the greatest religious invention of the nine- teenth century. So rapid has been the gi ' owth of the student branch of the Association work that while not yet thirty years old, it has extended into every large student center of the world, under twenty-five different governments. With its sixty-five thousand members it stands as the larg- est student fraternity in the world. That this growth has not lacked the necessary element of stability and of permanence is evidenced by the fact that during the last few years a large number of Student Association buildings have been erected, and thousands of dollars are being spent annually in this work among the students of the world. The World ' s Christian Student Federation, which unites in one the Christian students of all lands, was founded in August, 1895. Since its organization a marked increase has been noticed along all lines of student work. The intercollegiate movement in America imites in one body Associations in over six hundred schools of higher learning on this continent — organized not only in the classical and denominational schools, but also in the State, professional and technical schools. The rapid growth of this work in the larger institutions has been due, first, to the paid oiBcers who have had charge of the work; and, second, to the support of the faculties of these schools, who recognize the Association as one of the principal factors making for a higher moral tone of the school, thus less- ening the need of discipline. Since its organization, in 1880, the Purdue Young Men ' s Christian Association has had rather a checkered career. The first signs of tlie new life, which has made the Association in Purdue what it is to-day, were apparent when the general secre- tary appeared on the field in the fall of 1898. Soon after the arrival of Mr. Geo. W. Leavitt, the first general secretary, efforts were made to secure a permanent location. Eooms were rented the first year at 303 State Street. Through the efforts of the Advisory Committee during the summer of 1899 the Marstellar house was secured, and in December, 1899, the Association moved into its present home. The house is admirably located and has been an important factor in building up the Purdue Association. The fall of 1900 was the first time in its history when the Association could take the new students into its own home. The house has a large and well-equipped reading-room and game parlor and the general secretary ' s office. During the first week of the present school year over four hundred students were assisted in securing rooms and room-mates. A complete directory of all the students, also of rooms and boarding clubs is kept at the Association house. Some idea of the growth of the Purdue Association may be obtained from a few compari- sons. Three years ago the membership was less than seventy ; to-day it is one hundred and eighty. Then only ten men were in Bible classes ; now there are eighty-five. At that time only a small hand-book was published ; this year one thousand copies of a leather-bound book were distributed among the students. Some of the leading Christian men in the country, includ- ing four of our international secretaries, have addressed our Sunday afternoon meetings. The Bible Institute has become an annual feature of the work of the Bible Study Committee. The Institute this year was the strongest and best attended in the history of the work in Purdue. The purpose of the Purdue Young Men ' s Christian Asso- ciation is: To miite all the men of the University who desire to promote the spiritual life of the University, to win men to Jesus Christ, to guard students against temptations of college life, both of the mind and of the body ; to increase, by organized efforts, the efficiency of the work of the individual, thus quick- ening his spiritual life and enabling him as he goes from the University to be of larger service in the church, and, through the church, to the world; and, to promote whatever serves the highest welfare of every student. The Young Men ' s CJiristian Association is the only student organization that distinctively concerns itself about the religious welfare of the men of Purdue. Much experience has proven that only students can successfully reach students and win them to a higher life — the life that is in and through Jesus Christ. It is very seldom that a church can do efficient work among stu- dents. The Association thus holds a unique position, having practically unlimited capacity for successful adaptation to the special work of reaching students. Who can measure the in- fluence upon the world of one thoiisand college-trained men? This body of men is the special field of the Purdue Association. The time spent in college is the formative period in the life of any young man. It is the function of the Association t« toiich the lives of students during this important period. What church has so important a constituency How all important that the work be well done ! The work demands a larger material equip- ment — a building of its own. One very important factor in the efficiency, continuity and stability of the Association work is the Advisory Committee. This committee, organized in May, 1899, is composed of three members of the faculty, two alimini, one business man, and one undergi ' aduate student. It is responsible for the hiring of the general secretary and for providing his salary. This relieves the Association from a very heavy burden — one which they could scarcely carry. Being composed of older men, this committee also renders valuable service in advising regarding any im- portant steps in the work. Since their organization they have made possible the Association house, which has added very much to the efficiency of the work in Purdue. With the help of the Ladies ' Auxiliary the house was furnished throughout. Fif- teen of the leading men live in the house, thus making it the center of the Christian work in the University. One other valuable supporter of the Purdue Association is the Ladies ' Auxiliary, which is made up of the wives of the faculty and of the lady members of the faculty. The Aiuxiliary has furnished several of the rooms in the house and has general supervision of the care of the house. They have also rendered valuable service in assisting our social com- mittee. The Christmas At Home has become an annual event of the school year. The possibilities of the work of this organization are as yet largely undeveloped in its relation to a student Association. Our work has been supported nobly in every respect. We shall need more help in the future. Our new building is not far ahead. It is possible as soon as we are worthy of it. But the future is His, whose is also the work and the means to accom- plish the work. Let us be worthy of larger things and we shall not long remain unrewarded. YWCA Miss Frances De Frees, .

T was not a great many years ago that the first Yoimg Women ' s Christian Association was started, but in this short space of time the movement has spread from college to college and city to city until it is known all over the world. What is the purpose of an organiza- tion which has spread so rapidly? The main purpose of the Association, be it in a college or city, is to unite the Christian influence of the community to preach Christianity day by day. It is to build up in power all those who already know the Lord Jesus Christ, and to strengthen them for more active service in His cause ; and to bring all those who do not know Him into a knowledge of His all-satisfying love. This is the high pur- pose which the little band of young women in Purdue are striv- ing to accomplish. The work of the association this year is felt to be a success. All who have attended the Tuesday afternoon meetings have re- ceived help and inspiration to live a higher life, and they have gone away feeling that the hour lias been well spent. The monthly missionary meetings have taken the girls into other lands, and let them see how mtich they should do for these far- away sisters who do not have as many advantages as we enjoy. The Young Women ' s Christian Association of Purdue deems itself highly privileged in having for its leader in Bible Study, Mr. C. M. Dinsmore, the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The course of study taken up is Sharman ' s Studies in the Life of Christ, and all who have taken up this work agree in saying that they never before had obtained so clear a knowledge of the life of Christ, as they have through this study. The social part of the Association has not been neglected. Besides a joint reception with the young men, a number of little receptions were held for the young women of the University. With bright prospects for the future, the Association presses on in its work, each member trying by earnest, prayerful life, to further the cause of Christ. CLUB Colors: Cherry Red and Olive Green.

The seniors arc going to try to relieve the tension between the sophomores anil freshmen by putting their own class number up. Won ' t it be rather tough ( iu Doc Stone, after all the sleep he has lost over this already? I suppose it wiU ; but he as no right to monkey with the freshman-sophomore tank scraps. Every self-respecting f resliman class must fight the sophomore class, and vice versa ; and that tank was just put there by providence to furnish some- thing to scrap over. There is nothing more precious to me, in all my college experience, than the memories of the tank scraps when I was a freshman; and I think it is a shame, if all the classes that come after us are to be deprived of this pleasure. Well, who ' s going ? Oh, a dozen or so of the fellows — Greenick, MoGovney, HuU, Atkins, Smith, Switzer and other fellows. Come over to Smith ' s about half past eleven. Ridgely is going to bring the ropes and paint, and we can all go from there. Don ' t tell any of the fellows who have cold feet. All right. I ' U be there. It ' ll seem like old times again, and we ' ll be doing a good deed. About a dozen such short conversations served to bring about fifteen seniors to Smith ' s room at the appointed hour. Smith himself wasn ' t in yet, so the fellows made themselves at home. The business in hand naturally suggested freshman days, and the conversation was chiefly reminiscent, dealing with previous tank scraps. Say, Mac, said Hull, you never thought that you ' d be out tank painting with us when you were helping tie us up that night ? No; I didn ' t. That was the damnedest night! We had you fellows piled up four deep over in the hollow back of the tank. But you didn ' t do a thing to us the next night. We weren ' t in it a little bit. That first night was the time I flew my kite in good shapes A big devil came up to me and yelled, ' Here ' s a fresliman ! I was standing with my back to the fence, and I just jumped clean over it bactn ' ards without touching it, and run ! Lord ! maybe I didn ' t! Do you remember old Ohinless Charley Burton ? said Friermood. He pulled a gun on the sophomores that night Bn LY Hdi.i, : I was once a lady like yon. Z3Z He had just got excused from military drill because he was a Quaker, and had conscientious scruples against warfare and violence of all kinds. The sophs were going to duck him in the horse trough ; but he begged off. Maybe I didn ' t hand some big stiff a bunch of fives that night , remarked Greenick. He came up to me and thought I was easy because I looked kind of small. I just handed him a bunch and lit out. I didn ' t run very far. I noticed that they all liad white handkerchiefs around their necks, so I just tied mine around my neck and went back, and the guys never caught on. Say, fellows, said Smith, from the doorway, here ' s Ridgely with the stuff. We might as well go, I guess. It ' s after twelve. The apparatus was distributed among the fellows and the march toward the tank was begun. It was an ideal night for the business. Evidently the weather man was in favor of our proj- ect. The fellows tried to keep quiet, but the romance of the sit- uation was too much for them, and they made more noise than a gang of freslmien. As they neared the tank, some one remarked, Say, fellows, it looks to me as though there is some kind of a light over in the direction of the tank. This served to quiet the crowd somewhat, as everybody felt that it would be a rather serious matter for such a small n im- ber to be attacked by juniors or freshmen. However, the march towards the tank was continued. As they neared the tank it became evident that there were people there already. The flame of a bonfire cast a rather un- certain light up the whole length of the tank, making it appear of monstrous size against the black background. And voices could be heard, though not very distinctly. A short consultation was held, and one of the group was sent ahead to see the number of the enemy. He walked along carefully until he came within the light of the bonfire. Then he crawled along the fence until he came right up to the tank painters. They were freshmen, about six of them, and they were painting the tank in true freshman fashion. They had nailed cleats to a sixteen-foot plank and then set the plank against the side of the tank, so that it reached almost to one of the lugs. One of the freshmen climbed up to the lug and tied himself to it with a rope, so that his hands might be free to do the paint- ing. The paint was a cheap ochre, and would not have been distinguishable at tliree himdred yards; but the freshmen were just as happy as if they were doing something worth while. The figures did not reach one-third of the way up the tank. The fellow who was tied to the lug couldn ' t contain him- self, and was telling the others all about the games of croquet and marbles which were to decide the freshman superiority. Now, fellows, he said, you can ' t do any knucking, be- cause Doc Stone is going to watch the game ; and if he sees you knucking, you get expelled. I ain ' t going to try the marbles, because I always knuck. I ' m going into the croquet. Maybe I ' ll get a shy at Doc ' s shins with one of the balls. Klein : There is nothing klein about my footsteps. ' Just then the rest of the seniors, having learned the strength of the enemy, thought to use a little strategy and came running up, yelling Naughty Four ! Naughty Four ! But the freshmen were panic-stricken at the first sound of strange voices and those on the ground fled, leaving their comrade tied to the lug. Tlie suspended wretch was brought t« the ground, and, though badly frightened, put up a fairly bold front to all the propositions that were made as to what would be done with him, until Greenick expressed a desire to hand him a few bunches of fives. Then he collapsed, and was let go out of sheer pity. The coast being clear, there was nothing left but to paint the tank. Of course, it will not do to enter into the method of getting up the tank, as each freshman class must learn this for themselves through experience and the aid of junior advice. Perhaps the reason for the monumental failure of ' 04 to get up the tank lies in the fact that they could have no intelligent ju- nior advice on that subject. Sufiice it to say that E. L. Smith was the hero of the evening, and showed a daring coolness that will cause him to be well remembered by those who spent that night at the tank. While the tank was being sealed, those below were busy mixing paint and getting the apparatus ready. The plank which had sei-ved the freshmen so well was broken up to replenish the bonfire, in order that there might be lots of light on the tank. Say, fellows, said Hull, did you ever hear the true story of John Smith and Pocahontas 1 Nobody had heard it. Well, fellows, here goes, . That put Atkins in mind of a story. x tkins ' story put McGoveny in mind of one. Then Hull told his story of the fellow who was shipwrecked among the South Sea Islands. And so it went all the while the tank was being painted. Four or five of the fellows would hold the rope supporting the tank painter, while the others rested, and somebody would be furnishing amusement. When Greenick came down from his job of painting, he was a sight to behold. He had about as much paint on himself as he had put on the tank. Some of the fellows were sore be- cause he used so much of it on himself and neglected the tank. But the work was done, and the fellows gathered around the dying bonfire to get a last glimpse of their work before the dark- ness swallowed it. When the fire had gone out and the stories were exhausted, the return journey was commenced. The weary seniors trotted to their rooms and some of them missed thermo the next morning. Of course these fellows put in excuses for, — well, never mind. FowLEK : A lovely mau, and one with many friends. 234 Vestal: ' ' From Montezuma, Ind., by Heck. 235 Indianapolis, Iml, March 7, 1901. Friend Wilson : Three of the old ' 01 men happened in to see me last night — Billy Atkins, Hari-y Wilson and Chase Davis — and, mindful of your request, I asked them what they knew of the whereabouts and occupations of any of our old classmates. They wondered why you wanted to know. If you were going to get up a re- union, or — when I told them your present business — if you thought the whole class needed toilet soap. However, here is what information we secured. Atkins, of course, as perhaps you know, is employed as husband to a nice old lady of forty-five. He draws quit a comfortable sal- ary and seems to give complete satisfaction. Mayer and Davis is the title of a firm here in Indianapolis engaged in the manu- facture of a patent Hair Eestorer. Switzer has given up his place as switchman on the Clover- leaf and has gone back to the farm. Klipsch — you remember Klipsch. He was our Wilbur scholar and high jumper — he ' s back at Purdue. He ' s got Spiker ' s old job there and does very well at it, they say. Miss Lindley has brought fame and tomato cans and other things on herself by doing the Carrie Nation act in Indiana. And, by the way, quite a pretty little incident occurred in connection with one of her raids. She was placing her little hatchet against a certain saloon in Ft. Wayne when the mob came up and began to strike her with some radishes. This was unpleasant and she was thinking she might cry, when just then the bar-tender rushed out and, forcing the crowd back in a powerful way, cried, You shall not hann her ! Pass on, madam ! It was Hatch, and he had recognized an old friend, Smith has married and settled down in Washington, Ind., an seems to be doing very well. He says his wife is the best wasl lady in town and that she has all the work she can handle. Arthur Greenick is traveling salesman for a Bible firm in Cin- cinnati. Bertie Slimp has a position as salesman in a dry-good; store in his native town. He finds the work light and attractive and he has his evenings off for society. Louis Endsley is run- ning the faro table in a Chicago gambling dive. It is said he ekes out his salary by a little practice on the outside with the three shells and a little rubber ball, but of this I can ' t be cer- tain. Laidlaw is still in Cincinnati doing nothing. He is think- ing, however, of marrying. I hope he will do so, for I hate to see a young man entirely dependent on his father. Harry Wilson has engaged in the manufacture and sale of perfumes, powders and face-washes and he has employed Joe Andrews and Will Martin — at munificent salaries — to act as advertisements. I always knew Joe would get to the top. That boy had ambition ! Bill Hull is still furnishing wind for the Connersville Blower Co. and his friend Dick King is in Connersville keeping house for him. Senator Lund has left politics and gone on the stage, where he shines as a tragedian and does dreadful deeds dread- fully. Zedekiah House is making money hand-over-fist teaching dancing school. I was surprised at this, but Tark, who knows what dancing is, told me about it and he said Zed. was all right. Miss Montgomery is the wife of a certain tragedian. She never HoLMAN ; I love to sit and think, and smoke. appears on the stage herself, however, for, as her husband says, ' ' Poor Ethel cannot dodge ! Frank Endicott and Eddie Rob- ertson are engaged in the Chicago rescue work for the Salva- tion Army. What makes it nice for them is that they ' re together in the same corps. Endy plays the drum — his knowledge of music comes in handy here — and Captain Robertson conducts the seiwices. Heaven bless the brave boys! They ' ve devoted their lives to the grand work. The only other man I was able to learn anything of was Fred McCoy. Mac is also in Chicago now — joke editor on the staff of the New Voice. Lucky dog! I inquired especially after Barnes, Prentice and Shoomkoff, but, as I said, was unable to learn anything of them. I trust the information I have secured will satisfy your desires, and I b of you, Wilson, when next you write, to relieve my curiosity by telling me what on earth you ' re going to do with it. Awaiting your early convenience, I am, fraternally yours memories. John H. Jaschka. Cotiltee: I believe so much in the Gospel of Peace that I am willing to fight for it. Bueeage: Diseases are of three general classes, one of which is called constitutional. What would a second class be, Mr. Reamer ? Reamer : Unconstitutional ? Some Years Ago. Some years ago, sis homeless men, Fierce woman haters all. Combined, to live from women free. And keep a bachelors ' hall. For several months they lived in peace, Nor ever cared to roam, Then Willie Hatt he jumped the fence, And won himself a home. Then Henry Huston found a lass Who didn ' t mind his face; ' Goldie ' began to hit ' er up. And Luteu caught the pace. The Home of the Friendless, now, you s Had dwindled down to two. Then Billy Test he roped a wife. For something else to do. Poor Joe Charles Arthur, all alone, Got tired of being game. He sees his playmates married are, And happy, too, they claim. And so Joe longs to be a man Like unto other men ; He finds a maid who ' s not afraid, God pity both. Amen ! Mace : Here comes Noisy — look out for trouble.

BIT some unexplained means intelligence reached the a ears of the High and Mighty Gnzabo, of the An- cient Order of Dormitory Devils, that a certain long haired individual, who might have been a fresh- man, but wasn ' t, had made his boast, that he could go into that Dorm, any time he d — m pleased, and they wouldn ' t do a thing to him. Quickly the High and Mighty spread the report of the affront to the dignity of the A. O. D. D., and ordered all of the brethren to lie in wait for the audacious one, and, when he next appeared, to seize him. Soon the unsuspecting victim hove in sight, and, boldly springing up the steps into the hallway of the Dorm., entered one of the rooms, and proceeded to make himself at home, ac- cording to his custom. Then his royal highness, the Mighty Gnzabo, gave the sig- nal, and all the Devils, both great and small, filed into the room and surrounded the intruder. They looked him over carefully, and decided that he needed a shave. Yes, he needed a shave badly, and as each Devil rubbed his hand over the victim ' s face, he said, Truly, he ne«ds a shave. So they made lather in a paint bucket, applied it vigorously with a whitewash brush, carefully filling his nose, mouth and ears, and then shaved him with the sharp edge of a board. It was a close shave, the closest, perhaps, since he escaped flunking in mikeology ; but he looked like a different man when they got the lather off. All the Devils said so. A piece of hide was missing here and tliere, but on the whole it was a good job. Perceiving that the victim had gro vn warm during the operation, they hurriedly led him to the bath-room, and assisted him, clothes and all, into a bath-tub fuU of cold water, to cool him off. Fearing that his temper would be spoiled if he were not cooled equally all over, they commanded him to duck. Grow- ing obstreperous, he refused, and, as desperate cases require des- perate remedies, the Devils took turns ducking him. Finally, as the wisdom of the treatment broke upon his mind, all that it was necessary to do was to wave a board at him, and he ducked. Noting with dismay that the cold water treatment had cooled the victim too much, half a dozen strong Devils lifted him from the cooler, set him upon his feet, and made him dance to bring back the warmth into his veins. Wet and dripping gar- ments not being especially suited to an exhibition of how to trip the light fantastic, the Devils quickly removed them. Whispers of admiration at the sight of his manly form ran through the crowd as the victim stepped forth, supported by strong arms and clothed only in his blushes. As a final attempt to warm him up, the Devils one and all decided that he must run the gantlet, and persuaded him to sprint up and down the hall between two lines of admiring and applauding brethren, who hot-ended him at every jump. This Fankboner : I belong to the exclusive set. latter exercise was meant to bring back a healthy glow to the skin ; and the attempt was a notable success, for after a minut« or two he shone up like an Italian sunset. Although the victim ' s temperature was again normal, a few of the more solicitious Devils were possessed of a fear that he might take cold, and as a precautionary measure forced the im- happy one to swallow all the quinine which c«uld be found in the Dorm. This the victim took with the air of one who is con- vinced that it is all for his own good. As a final mark of high esteem in which he was held by the brethren, the court artist was called in and the victim ' s body elegantly frescoed with the official emblems of the order, done in black and old gold. Then did the High and Mighty Guzabo address the pris- oner, and in solenm words pointed out the enormity of his offense in affronting the dignity of the Ancient Order of Dormitory Devils, and warning him, on pain of receiving the second de- gree, never to so err again. And then, reclothed, and in what was left of his right mind, the boastful one, boastful no longer, stood not upon the order of his going, but went at once. David: Much can be made of an Irishm an if he caught young. How about that, Houghton ? Pbof. Pence: This is a sketch. Slimp: What is it, Professor, a dam or a spiral curve?

HE Secretary of the Philalethean Literary Society was an efficient one, but there was at least one meeting she failed to record. The members of the Society, as usual, proceeded to their hall, each one charged with the duties of the hour. On this particular Friday afternoon a bevy of the mem- bers tried the door and found it locked. Evi- dently something was wrong. The key that had always been used failed to perform its duty. The girls stood in amazement. It was either a deplor- able accident or a foul plot, and anything that thwarts a college girl ' s will is never regarded as an accident, but rather as a conspiracy; and this was no exception to the rule. The thoughts of a conspiracy ! Wliat could more easily bring forth the peculiarities of the fair co-eds ? And who should lead this onslaught other than one of our high and mighty seniors ? She was a dramatic girl and with eyes snapping and nostrils dilated, she assumed a tragic air and roared above the others : Zounds ! have the Gods forsaken us ? The gates barred against me — Georgiana the First ? Swing the drawbridge, ope the gates ! Ho there ! Send hither my brother, page of the Indiana State Senate, and let him carry my demands at the point of his spear. Yes ; open up, tight wad ! You ' ll have to hurry ; for we ' re going into that room or bust the tug, piped the girl from the Toledo Manual Training School, thus bringing into play the knowledge of which she is so proud. Discussion was at its height. Every girl expressed an opin- ion. Even the religious black-eyed ex-schoolmarm, attempting to pour oil upon the troubled waters, struck a beseeching attitude, and with eyes gazing heavenward, said, Girls, girls, know you not that it is in the holy writ that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord ? Are ye not also taught to watch as well as pray ? So let us offer a prayer that some kind angel, knowing of our dire dilemma, may bring us a key which wiU open up to us the foimtain of knowledge. Prayer — rats ! The Lord helps those who help themselves. What we want is a girl to climb through that transom and open the door, or a man to kick it down. So let us sing one verse of ' Oh, for a Man ; Oh, for a Man, ' cried the flippant, blue-eyed singer from over the river, as she started in saw-filing tones the song she mentioned. The suggestion of a man in the dilemma brought the little black-haired art student to the front, who proceeded to again dilate upon the wonderful qualities of Pet, and what he could do if he were here. Donner und blitzen mit your Pet, said the German student. He ' s feedin ' frogs in Texas. I makes a motion dat die girl mit die gimblet curls — her vot comes down from der great Alfred — bore her way through, and den in can come us all, al- ith Fankboner. ready. Ach, mein Frauleins vas denken sie von das ? At this suggestion the dumpy, rosy-cheeked girl, of whom it is said, Her nose tips, tilted, like the petals of a rose, said in her beautiful French accent, Wie wie, Bien ! In the meantime a convenient table had been drawn to the door and the president of the Society now mounted it and in her usual placid tones said, Girls, I have found the key not to the door, but to the situation. Some one must go through the tran- som. Are there any names to be proposed ? Scarcely had the question been asked when a freshman girl began the ascent. ' Tis well, murmured the senior South- Bender, Prof. Lotts would have had it so. By this time the fair climber was perched upon the transom bar ready to begin the descent. But Fate interposed in the per- son of Dr. Stone, who in his mild manner and dulcet tones said, Young ladies, get out of here. I ' ve stood this racket as long as I can. The Philalethean Literary Society is dismissed for the afternoon. Leave this building immediately and as quietly as possible. And the Phillies wrapped their cloaks around them and silently stole away. Robertson, in thermo: You see, Mr. Diesel designed his motor to work on various fuels, and just now he is experi- menting on coal, using it directly in the cylinders.

USED to be, in the early days of railroading in this country, that the chief engineer was the whole thing ; but nowadays there are others. ' When Stephenson got up the Rocket, he made a ten-strike. If he hadn ' t made a ten-strike at that time the locomotive might never have come out; at least, it would not have come out for some time, for it would have had a black eye to start with. Mr. Atkins, suppose you had a pail of water and a pail of oil, both at the same temperature ; which would cool more rap- idly? Atkins — The wat«r-er — the oil ? Yes. This column of air weighs more, therefore it is heavier. Now, since there is a greater weight of air in this flue, how would you stop the flow 1 S witzer — ' ' Um-um-er. ' ' You ' d cool the other column of air, wouldn ' t you ? Switzer — Yes. Or you might shut the damper. It now seems as though piston valves are aU right, and that they are the coming thing. When they were first used, the packing was sometimes made so tight that it took more power to move them than it did to move a flat valve. This, of course, gave the piston valve a very black eye.

Once upon a time, a commercial traveler happened to attend church at a small coimtry town during a revival, and, being tired, feel asleep during the sermon. After the sermon, the pastor asked all those who felt that they were saved to stand ip ; and everybody in the church stood up except the traveler, and a few small boys in the back seat. Then the pastor asked all those who were not saved to stand up. The traveler awoke just in time to hear the words, ' stand up, ' and jumped to his feet. No one else got up, and everybody was looking at him, so he turned to the pastor and said, ' Well, parson, I don ' t know what we ' re voting on, but I seem to be on the same side with you. ' (After Fansler has floundered through an explanation at the board.) Well, Ah! I didn ' t hear what you said, Mr. Was ever a chap so modest found before y ' Fansler ; because I was thinking of something else. I hope you did better than I did. You can always tell a direct current incandescent lamp from an alternating current one, if you move any object rapidly to and fro in front of it. If the lamp is using alternating cur- rent, you will see any number of objects, depending upon the velocity and extent of motion. To illustrate, in a theatre in one of the eastern cities, the people had occasion to put in incandescent lights during a vaudeville performance. They put in alternating current lights, and tlie effect of the ballet was truly astonishing. Incidental: ' Tis not the Springtime happiness of lass and lovesome swain ; ' Tis not the briglitning sunshine nor the sweetly sad- dening rain, But ' tis the thought that soon we ' ll be at home, sweet home, again, That makes me love the Spring. Fansler : Don ' t you want to subscribe for a Debris ? Prof. Goldsborougii : Well, I ' ll take one, and if they don ' t roast me too much, maybe I ' ll take more. I ordered three a few years ago, but the feDows hit me so hard that I didn ' t dare give them away. Prof. Sturmee: Now, here ' s a problem for a philoso- pher. Mr. Hardman, step to the board. Panslee (to Greenick, who is tipped back in his chair with his hat down over his eyes) : What ' s the matter, old man — sick ? Greenick: Hell! No! I ' m in love!

Latta : I intended to take the class out for some field work with the dynamometer this morning, but I think we had better stay indoors, since the weather is so very inclement The grass is high and wet, and the air is so damp and chilly that some one might take cold.

NCE upon an autumn evening, Sweet and restful autumn evening, When the world seemed still and peaceful, Forgetting all its cares and sorrows. Many Freshmen congregated ; From the lodges, from the forest, From the free lunch and the pool room. Many Freshmen congregated. What had brought them thus together; Brought this tribe of many people — With their strained and anxious faces. Hoping much and trusting blindly To that Providence sustaining Drunken men and foolish babies. That no evil should o ' ertake them, Should o ' ertake them and confoimd them — Together on this autumn evening ? List, my child, and I will tell you. To the northward of the campus. Brilliant in its scarlet war paint, Stands an old tank which for ages — ' Tis a wise and brave old custom — Students of Purdue have painted. Painted with the magic numbers Of the class they represented. Then, with bonfire blazing brightly, ' Eoimd its foot they give their war dance, Give their brave old hoochee coochee, Dance of scorn and proud defiance; Calling to the other classmen To come nearer and to fight them; To decide who was the stronger. This is why that autumn evening. When the world seemed still and restfvil, And the air was sweet and lightsome As a moonbeam on the river, This is why these valiant Freshmen Came, a mighty band, together. From the corner of the campus — Where they marshaled first their forces. With the white chief. General Cleary, To advise them and to tell them How to make their war successful, And to make the Sophs, feel smaller; Make them tremble like a woman When she hears the wild wind whistling. And the fallen leaves a rustling — To the tank they took their war trail, Over road and over cornfield ; Through the forest and the meadow. Greenick : • ' Some think I ' m tough: but, do not tear. It ' s all a blutf. 257 In small parties and in large ones, Thus the Freshmen took their war trail. When they gathered with their war paint, Near the tank so tall, so silent. Which, with proud and reddened grandeur, Loomed above them, high, majestic ; And unto their eyes distended Seemed a thing of size colossal — How to climb it; how to paint it, Was the very natural question. Over which they next did ponder: Long and deeply did they ponder, And it seemed to them a question Like the tank itself, colossal. Many Juniors lingered near them — Juniors, ever friends of Freshmen — Lingered near them and talked wisely ; But seemed really quite unable To tell how it should be painted. Hutchings with voice loud, important. Told his jokes both foul and wretched. Making e ' en his fellow Juniors Ashamed for his very presence. Vestal with his great, huge body — Fat in head and fat in body — Grinned and grinned and still said nothing. Corwin, anxious restless, nervous, As a summer-time mosquito, Robbed an orchard close adjacent. And sat munching little apples. Then the wise and brave old Chieftain, Cleary — nuttiest of the Juniors — Rose and said with solemn visage, Fellows, we must have a bonfire ! Then the Freslmien, near despondent. Jumped up, cheered and stimulated, For they thought — indeed they knew it — They could build a dandy bonfire. When the bright bonfire was kindled, All the tribe felt much more cheerful. With the red flames leaping upward, In their weird and forked caressing Of the logs in their embracing. All the tribe then felt more cheerful ; And again they raised the question, How the tank was to be painted. Long and sagely did they argue Over many a foolish method. TiU at length brave General Cleary — Brave and wise(?) the war-worn Cleary — Seeing naught could be accomplished By thus mingling words together — Words of meaning when well gathered, Berknbaum: •Indeed I ' m much beloved — by me. 258 But quite foolish as they spoke them— Kose and thus addressed the council: Fellers, in the coming minutes Many Sophomores will gather, Gather and come out to fight you. Now you want to all get ready, Kound the tank, and bunch together, And remember when they paste you, Stay together, keep together. While the General still was talking. Giving wisdom to the Freshmen, In the distance was a rumbling Heard. At first ' twas low and awful ; Like to thunder in the distance. Then the sound became much louder. And at last could be distinguished By the waiting mass of Freslmien, — Voices, as the coming foemen Yelled directions to each other. Then the Freshmen, ever nervous. Moved about to hide their feelings, Till the wide resounding war cry, Keep together ; stay together ! Brought to them a wished-for battle. On the Sophomores came rushing Wildly, madly, bravely rushing. As across the peaceful prairie Eush the maddened herds of cattle. On they came to where the Freshmen Stood with full determination To fight till death should overtake them. Or some other fate befall them. Round the tank they closely gathered, Just as General Cleary told them. Through their minds the thought resovmding, Keep together ! Stay together ! Then, with rushing, as the whirlwind Rushes in the time of winter, Whistling through the barren branches Of the old trees in the forest, With a new and strange formation The fiery tribe of Sophs, attacked them. Cornell, with an eager gallop. Like a warhorse scenting battle, With his nostrils wide distended, Anxious longing for the contest; Plunges in and nails a victim ; Takes him out across the gulley. Where he ties him up and leaves him Until all the war is over. Ruby works as if stern duty Stood near unto him and bade him, Tie up Freshmen ! Tie up Freshmen ! •A gentleman V Of channiug courtesy ' . Hickman looks as though a pleasure Had just been conferred upon him. Really he doth seem to like it, And to act as when some onions Are served at the supper table, And he knows no date awaits him. Long and fierce the fight continued, Freshmen showing wondrous valor, As they bravely staid together. But the Sophomore ' s formation Was to them a thing mysterious, — Both mysterious and disastrous ; For, when two or three ' 03 men Would together grab one Freshman, Drag him, pull him to the meadow, There to lie and moan in fetters. They could not quit« comprehend it. Could not tell what was the matter. And their crowd seemed growing smaller; Did not seem to stay together. Seemed to vanish into evening As the light of day doth vanish At the nightfall, into evening. When at last the war was ended, And the Freshmen were encompassed. All the Freshmen were encompassed,— All except those who, with caution, Early left the scene of battle, — Then the victors called a council, Called a council of the wise men Of the Sophomores, to ponder And decide, in what stern manner The defeated foe should suffer. Long they argued ; well they argued ; Each had his own plan of torture ; But all plans were soon discarded. Cast aside to be forgotten. When one youth inspired from Heaven- Or, perhaps, ' twas not from Heaven — Said, Let ' s drill them ' cross the levee, And fiU ' em up on sulphur water. As the birdling snatches quickly For the worm it finds at morning. So the class of Naughty Three men Grabbed and collared this idea. All tlie feet of aU the Freshmen Were released, and they commanded To stand up. And then each Soph ' mon One for every docile Freslunan, — Docile Freshmen ? Yes, as docile As the king of beasts, the lion. In his cage so slowly walking, — RiDGELY : A comiug champion. He licked Tanner. Took a Freshman, and they, walking, Started down the road together. Long, impressive, was the column As it marched toward the city. With the brave and handsome Eckhaus And his stalwart, captive Freslmien Boldly leading in the vanguard. Down the road and ' cross the levee, O ' er the bridge into the city, Up the street, to where the court-house Looms a grand, imposing structure, Sophs and Freshmen marched together, Solemnly they marched together. At the comer of the court-house Stands an ever-flowing fountain — With its living, sparkling waters. Flowing, trickling in the basins. But the seeming invitation, Sweet and gen ' rous invitation. Of the fountain, ever flowing. Is a base and foul deception ; For, as when an angry mother Hides the whip behind her apron, And calls sweetly to the garden, Willie, I have something for you, So the fountain is deceiving. For its sparkling, silvery waters Very pretty are to look on, But to taste they ' re, oh ! quite diS ' rent Foul and strong and so disgusting. Like to ancient eggs their taste is ! Here the Soph ' mores and their victims Stopped ; it was their destination. Then began the scene of torture ; Each and every captive Freshman Was brought close up to the fountain, And completely filled with water. Filled up to the brim with water. So if he a push were given. And his mouth were standing open. Water would spill out, and running Down, would wilt his linen collar. When, at last, they all were l oaded To the lips with sulphur water. To the rear they set their faces, And again across the levee Marched they in the early morning, Soph ' mores filled with pride of vic ' try, Freshmen filled with sulphur water. Back they marched across the levee. Up the hill and to the campus, To the comer of the campus. ' And what can this man dor Z61 Where the overflowing Freshmen Were set free from out their bondage, And allowed to hurry homeward. As the two bands broke in sections — Soph ' mores, proud and very happy ; Freshmen sorrowful and weary — One young voice could be heard saying, In a sad tone and discons ' late, Fellows, friends, in all our troubles, We ' ve at least this satisfaction. That we all have staid together, Kept together, staid together. Me. Editor : Do you know that Oliver Slimp is just the nicest fellow I ever saw ? He ' s just so good and sweet.

HE twilight and the shades of night approach ; The gathering darkness covers all the world ; And then the mysterious people of the night Come forth, and in the distance I can see Their raimant white gleam dimly throiigh the mist. They pass along the silent fields of night, Some with the stately step and thoughtful air Of serious minds that struggle with the tasks, Which enter into even that far life. Some pass along with light and joyous step; Uplifted horns which seem to time the dance, Are held to lips that blow while others sing Songs that are borne on winds which do not reach The ear, for all is quiet as dream. A woman ' s figure clothed in raiment white Approaches, and her nearing radiance hides The throng from sight — they vanish in the dark. She stands apart, and, from her attitude. It seems that she would come and bring the peace Uf all that perfect, quiet dreamland life. The veiling mist receding, brings to view A beauty quite untouched by mundane cares. Yet, stamped with wisdom far beyond this life, Yet gi-aced with woman ' s wondrous power to love. And full of gentleness and peace and rest. The light grows stronger, — I can see her eyes. Deep wells of truth and purity and faith, And round her mouth the glory of a smile Glances, like simshine struggling with light clouds And softens the pale coldness of her mien. And I would speak, but, as the thought is formed, The mist obscures her from my eyes again. And down the long, dark path the others trod She passes, and is soon gone from my sight. Yet, that last look she gave me as she passed, Is lingering with me yet ; and I would know The meaning of that glance which faintly thrills My soul with longing and a sweet imrest. Who is she ? But it seems I cannot know ; And yet, a vague remembrance flits across My brain, of face once seen on earth ; but still The recollection dies ere I can tell.

HERE are certain Seniors w ho a 1- ways attend chap- el. Some attend as a devotional exer- cise, others find it conducive to good effect being similar to that experienced in climbing Mt. Blanc. Still, others attend from force of habit. Until this year chapel attendance has l)een compulsory, and some of the fellows, living examples of the least resistance theory, find it easier to keep on going than to break off a bad habit. Other have still other motives. Now there are Lannerd and Bruner, who, up till Christmas time, were laboring under the delusion that credits were given for chapel attendance, and who had planned definitely to make this their major line of work, and had even decided to take their theses upon this sub- ject, but alas ! Whom the gods love they chasten. It is rumored that when Lannerd discovered his mistake he smote himself upon the thigh with one hand, while with the other he pulled out a whole handful of his back hair, and muttered in a dialect, half Dutch and half white folk ' s talk, There was been some mistake about this. Then there ' s Lund, who comes up as a matter of dress parade, finding this a splendid opportimity to exhibit his fine carriage, which, by the way, we consider a little buggy — but Lund comes in a devotional frame of mind, and often when all others are singing Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Lund has been heard softly humming to himself the time, Just One Girl, and when others sing Blessed Trinity, Lund has been heard to mutter, Oh, come off; three ' s a crowd. Then forgetting all else, his hands crossed upon his breast, and his liquid blue eyes cast upward in a spirit of devotion, his effulgent face is turned toward the east, as the Mohammedan prays with his face turned toward Mecca. Often when the exercises are concluded, young Lund has been noticed to re- main in his pew in a dazed, absent-minded sort of way until some obliging classmate snapping his fingers in our hero ' s face has shouted in his ear : Right you are ! Change cars for Polycin ! and Lund, heaving a deep sigh, and casting one side- Reamer, Walkist: He won an easy third, and a pair of dandy gallusses. long glance in her direction, crosses himself and departs hence as one who has seen visions and dreamed dreams. Then there ' s Shorty jSTordstrum, who attends regularly, as all growing boys should. If Shorty were inclined to be dis- honest, he might avoid the trouble of climbing the stairs and witness the exercises by looking in at the window, but being one of those honest men, for whom Diogenes searched so dili- gently, Shorty purchased a season ticket and is usually on hand. Like Saul of old, he is head and shoulders above the multitude. Shorty is one of those fellows who was created a little lower than the angels, that the Scripture might bs fulfilled, which says : How long, Oh Lord, how long ! ! ! And again it is written of him : When Thou passest through the waters I will be with thee and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee. There is always a suggestion of inconsistency when Shorty sings Hide Me, Oh My Savior, Hide Me. But then, we are reminded that all things are possible to him that be- lieveth, and if it were necessary a Jonah ' s gourd could be grown in one night big enough to hide Shorty. Then there ' s McGovney, who comes frequently and would come oftener if the ventilation were better. Oh, that awful sickening odor to which every line on his face bears testimony. We have often wondered, in looking at his disturbed counte- nance if his olfactory lobes are not larger than those of the average mortal and if, indeed, the average man is not odor- blind. If 80, this is one of those instances when ' Tis folly to be wise when ignorance is bliss. In looking at him we have often been led to exclaim with the poet: Oh man, thy delicate, sensitive make-up, unfits thee for this garbage-ridden, be- skunked world. We can ' t get away from the impression that some of McGovney ' s ancestors ran a glue factory, and that on this account this peculiar facial expression has been transmitted from father to son, etc. There are a number of other fellows who deserve honor- able mention in the Senior line-up, but space and time forbid. In the hallway, at the noon hour, Just in front of Ellsworth ' s door, Every day there stands a couple With their feet upon the floor. And their anus about each other, — No, I think that must be wrong; For, though Pet, of course, would Kke it, Edith would think that too strong. So they stand and gaze intently While the precious noon hour flies. Putting all their love and longing Into four fond google eyes. Hatch : Who ' s that over there ? Gkeenick : Dunno. He ' s got patent leathers on — must be a railroad president. McCoy: Oh, Mac ! thy jokes are like thyself, both fat and heavy, and sometimes a little strong. 267 EiNSJiiNGEK: That haudsome football player. Human Body Class. ' HE Human Body Class is assembled and Dr. Coulter ambles into iJie room and takes his stand before the class, his toes turned in at an angle of forty-five degrees and his eyes rolled up like those of the Madonna Dolorosa. This being the signal to the class to come to order, Lydia breaks ofi in the midst of a conundrum she has been propounding. The lesson is to be a sort of general review. Joe Andrews is called upon to give the function of the adipose tissues. By the way, Mr. Andrews enjoys the distinction of being the only member of the class who can sit, with perfect ease, upon the small of his back. Young Andrews, whose cheeks Aurora has kissed every morning for one and twenty years, rises, his hands thrust into his trousers pockets up to his elbows (this habit has caused Mrs. Andrews, Joie ' s mamma, no end of trouble). Well, anyhow, the youth rises and from his rosy, cherub lips comes a low, deep sound, not unlike the drone of a bimible-bee. This he con- tinues until a nod from the doctor indicates to him that it is finished. Will Martin is called upon to locate the various plexuses of the body, which he does to a T, his rich, juicy articulation, sup- plementing beautifully his ready flow of language. During these recitations Dr. Coulter has entertained himself as well as the class by certain little sleight-of-hand performances, such as tossing up bits of chalk and firing paper wads at the waste paper basket. All this time Simons has not once closed his fly trap, and as he sits there he illustrates, perfectly, what attention will do for a fellow when it has the right of way. Johnny Opp, who Otterbin at home, is called upon to locate the brain, but owing to a slip of the memory he flunks out on the questions, notwithstanding the fact that he studied for this test with his feet in a tub of ice water in order to drive the blood away from that not imimportant part of his anatomy. It is reported that when Johnny packed his trunk to come to Purdue he forgot to put in his capacity. An appropriate epitaph for his tombstone would be: Here lies Johnny yet. The ghost was willing but the meat was feeble and his teeth were few and far between. Elizabeth Meigs is called up, and the musical cadences of her own inimitable voice put to shame the song of the whip- poor-will. No matter what she says, those melo-dramatic in- tonations will never be forgotten ! ! ! Bang ! bang ! whackety ! bang ! The steam has come on ! Dr. Coulter glares at the offending pipes with a look that is a cross between the expression of a Christian marytr, and that of Cain just before he swat Abel one. Grabbing up the deck of cards he shuffles them in a desperate sort of way and just for COFFING: No other is like to this. spite calls on MoGovney, -who, ever since the recitation began, has been pale around the mouth and looking sick enough to throw up his shoes — all from downright suspense. The various expressions that have chased one another over his clas- sical features remind one of the changing skies of an April day, and now, sure enough, just as he had expected, his death warrant has been read. The corners of his mouth droop, his eyes flash fire, he shows his teeth, but, swallowing his rage, he rises, and slowly, thoughtfully, improvises to the best of his ability. That man knows more about einder tracks in a minute than he does about the human body in six months. He may have been a first class fightin ' man, when he was down in Cuba, but in this class he ' s a poor benighted heathen. All the while Kirkpatrick ' s diamond ring has been refract- ing and reflecting its idio-retinal light imder the skiUful man- agement of the operator. Dr. Coulter now gives a spiel upon Hair — its uses and abases. Leonard, who, by tlie way, is a keen fellow in this class, and who wrote a thesis upon the Arachnoid Mater, con- siders these references to hair, thin and decidedly out of place, regarding hair as a luxury rather than a necessity. And now Dr. Coulter calls up a man whose very name we utter with the deepest sense of our own unworthiness, a man whom it is our honor to introduce and yours to meet — the referee of the class — a man who never strikes out in a recitation, but who always makes a home run — a man who knows how to judge a live mutton, and one whom a poor Shropshire would blush to meet. We refer to Frazier — May he live always and be six months a dyin ' . But our characteristic recitation will be far from accurate if we fail to indicate that over and above all other impressions in this class are those made by the burning words of Dr. Coul- ter. Never is a recitation ended but many new lines of thought are suggested by him. All too soon the bell rings, for Dr. Coul- ter is one of those born teachers whose recitations are always delightfully interesting, and for that reason always too short. Fanslek: Is Miss Lindley coming up ? Miss Marks : Yes. Fansler : Well, keep your faces closed, everybody. Watjen: I once kissed a girl one himdred times in suc- cession.

Howling Comedy in One Act, performed by Senior Civil Star Burlesque Co., under the personal management of I Scene: Prof. Pence ' s Recitation Room. Time: First recitation hour in morning. Prof, Pence enters with a light, tripping step. Banes ' story- is interrupted and the class scrambles for seats. Prof. Pence : As the time is limited and the subject we have imder discussion this morning is very broad, we will omit the roll. Those who are absent wiU report the same to me at the end of the hour — that is to say, — or I should say, if they should think of it. The subject under discussion this morning is Frogs and Switches. Mr. McBroom, what is a frog ? By the way, frogs are very interesting from the standpoint of the young engineer. Mr, McBroom : Well, perhaps, a frog is — why, a frog is called a frog because it looks like a frog, Prof. Pence: Very good, Mac, I see that you are thor- oughly familiar with the subject. Now, Mr. Slimp, from your observations on the B. O. Southwestern, where are frogs used the most ? Slimp : Well, professor, I guess they are used at Jami- son ' s, about the first of the month, mostly. Prof. Pence : Well, Bert, nearly so, but from data I have gathered, I find the consumption at Wendling ' s is about 11.7 per cent, greater. That is approximately correct, and for our pur- pose is satisfactory. Mr. Manning, why are switches used ? (No response.) Mr. Manning, arousing at last from his nap: What— did— you— say— William D. « Prof. Pence : This room is a little close. I suppose that is the cause of the extreme drowsiness of the class. We will an-ange to have it remedied. Tom M. : No — professor — me and Banes — staid up late last — night — drawing — (Murmurs from class — How much did you win? ) Prof. Pence: That reminds me of an incident that oc- curred to a friend of mine, a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and now deceased, who for several months spent his entire evenings designing a high pressure, automatic cut-off, rotary steam whistle, and became totally imfit for day work. But to return to the subject. By the way, Prof. Slimp ' s brother tells me that the Brook ' s people are going to put out a 225-ton locomotive to run 120 miles an hour. Do you think that speed possible, Irish ? Mr. David : Well, I — a — yes. Bill, if the gear is high enough and the track is theoretically banked. Prof. Pence: Everything is getting massive in the rail- road line. That reminds me of a little piece of poetry a friend Le Fever: Let a little sunshine in. of mine wrote. He, by the way, was a member of the A. S. C. E. and is now deceased. It ran something like this : There, little coal car, Don ' t you cry, You ' ll be a box car Bye and bye. This, of eoiirse shows the foresight of this engineer, who, by the way, was an expert in his line, in prophesying the in- creased capacity of the present day cars. Houghton, how is your road in this respect ? Dinnie : The Lake Shore always is in the lead in railroad improvement, professor. Prof. Pence : BiUy Prentice, how will this affect plate girders ? I believe this will bear on your thesis. Prentice : Well, Pansy, it wiU induce tension in the com- pression struts and cause the paint to scale off and give the fish indigestion. Brown: Say, professor, the Pennsylvania uses red paint on bridges and this causes the white fish to look something like red snappers. Hence the high price of eggs. Prof. Pence : Anything further ? This is very interest- ing and is a wide field for research. Well, the hour is about up, so for next time be prepared to discuss frogs and switches. Chap- ters 19 and 20. This may seem a little long, but if you vsdll read it over carefully you can pick out the important points. Don ' t forget your design of the Chicago termini. This will give you practice in switch design. Class dismissed. Class awakens and reassembles in the corner, where Banes finishes his story. Thou morning sky ! Thou, beautif id !

Some things a Senior electrical would like to know : Why Prof. Matthews does not at least read the lesson over before coming to class ? Why he never brings any books to class ? Why he doesn ' t learn to use an eraser ? Why h e likes to eat chalk ? Why he doesn ' t have more life and snap ? Why Prof. Goldsborough does not get out a set of readable notes ? Why he so ingeniously avoids answering questions ? Why he never has any lead pencil ? Why he and Instructor King don ' t take off their coats and scrap ? Why Esterline does not talk athletics during lab. hours? Why he never gets sore at anyone ? Why he isn ' t at the head of the electrical department ? Winter: Just one more beer. T The Shorthorn.

On the evening of the 29th of March the Purdue Band gave its first annual minstrel show and it was a flattering success, both as a minstrel and financially. Mr. M. A. Call acted as interlocutor, and Messrs. Hull, Harris, Slimp, Quinn, Jaschka and Schwab were on the ends. The chorus consisted of Messrs. Scott, Weir, Roach, Robertson. Clark, Hutchings, Berry, Chamberlain, Kittredge, Hardwicke. Sanderson, Bartholomew, Winter and Stein. From beginning to end the entertainment was fast and lively, and all of its patrons were more than pleased. Dear Little Eva, you couldn ' t help loving her. The tumbling given by Measrs. Dexter, Freemaji, Gough, Lynch, Lewis, and Reiman was a revelataon to everybody, and was almost professional in its character. Echoes : End Mak : I say, Mr. Interlocutor. Inteb. : Well, Mr. End Man. End Man : Do you know Mr. Juliais Meyer ? IxTEE. : Yes ; I am acquainted with ] Ir. ileyer. End Man : Well, did you ever notice what a big mouth he has? Inter. : My attention has been called to it once or twice. End Man: Well, do you know, whenever Mr. Meyer washes his face he just opens that mouth of his and rubs behind his ears a little. The audience did not get to see one of the best features of the show. We refer to the argument that was held with Mark ' s mule out in the alley. FURNITURE STORE. FAillLIES FURXISHED HERE.

Lannerd ' Some go to chapel because they are devout. But I go to chapel to help the singing out. ' A Football Game. I AT do I know about football? Ifothing. I never saw but one game, and I didn ' t see that exactly, I experienced it. My educa- ficn isn ' t much, though I was reckoned iiniong the pert girls in my day. When I went to school they didn ' t have any of those high-faluting games. We girls used to play jump the rope, ' ' ring aroimd the roses, ' oats, peas, beans and bai-ley giows. The boys played crack the whip, black- man, blankelilo, and some times the girls and boys would get together and play heavy, heavy hangs over your head, look to the east, look to the west and kiss the girl that you love best, and such other innocent and harmless games. There was one boy at school that always would kiss me when we played that game. He was the biggest boy in school and the best one, too. My father was the schoolmaster and it was thought to be some to kiss the master ' s daughter, and the other boys and girls seemed to be jealous of me and Jim. Well, time stops for nothing and things are always happening, and it did with us. Jim ' s mother died and he was boimd out to learn a trade with my father, and we lived in the same house, and we got to liking each other better every day and he would do everything I told him to. If I told him to lick a boy he done it, and if I told him not to speak to a girl he obeyed me. Finally, Jim learned his trade and started for himself. What ' s that got to do with football ? You wait, nobody can tell a story until they get there, can they ? Well, in 1861 Jim went to war and served four years. We wrote to one another while he was gone and he came home with shoulder-straps on. He had won them serving his country. The papers said it was for Meritorious conduct on the field of bat- tle. Jim put on a little style over me when he come back and hinted that I should call him captain, and to spite me used to shine round other girls, but I soon cured him of that. I had another beaii one night when he come and the next day he proposed, and, of course, I accepted. Never mind. What I know about football is coming. We got married and prospered reasonably well. W© were blessed with children, and James and I — I call him James now — concluded to give the children a better education than we had. They gTaduated in the home schools and then we sent ' em to college — to Purdue. When we were boys and girls the talk at home was choppin ' wood, splittin ' rails, diggin ' potatoes, settin ' hens and sich. Now the talk when the children came home from coUege was Athletics, Physics, Laboratory and a lot of other foreign things. James and me couldn ' t tell what they were talking about half the time. The new scholars they called Freshmen, and when they ' d come some more they called them Sophomore, and so on. Just every-day setting of a hen and watching and caring for it and taking care of the chickens they called Em- bryology. What in our day was making pictures on a slate and getting licked for it is called Free-hand drawing. Making willow whistles and whittling thing ' s and sticks is called Wood carving, and when one of them gets pretty flip at it they call it Modeling in high relief. Just ordinary eating things that you like and is good for you, and letting thing ' s alone that don ' t agree with you is dietary experiments. Did you ever ? Our Hayes: And he can advise oil all subjects pertaining to a locomotive. old-fashioned Jack- ' olantem pictures on the wall, down at Purdue is called Technical Inorganic Views. Humph ! think of that. Scabs on plants, trees and things are called Fungus growth, and every-day cats, dogs, horses, cows, calves, pigs and sich-like that grows on a fann are zoological specimens. Don ' t that chiU you ? The children went to Purdue so much that we really couldn ' t understand their language any more, and James and me had a confab about it, and James said as how the children were educated and we wasn ' t, and James never would let anybody beat him, so he coumienced to buy books, and we read to each other out loud o ' nights, and the family was getting to have a better understanding of each other. Yes ; I ' m coming now to the football business. Let me see, it was about 1890 or there-abouts, Butler and Purdue were going to play to see which was boss, and the children said that we must go — me and James. I set my foot down square on that proposition, but James was getting, as he used to say, sort o ' col- lege-bred himself since he had been reading them books, and he went. The children wanted him to wear the college colors, as tliey called ' em. But James balked. He said he would wear no colors but the stars and stripes ; he had carried them in battle and he had fought for ' em and there was no use talking to him about wearing any other colors ; he was too old to change his allegiance. James was firm when he set his head, unless I told him to change, — then he changed ; but this time I was on his side. Well, James went, and he came back. I was tending to my household afFairs when the door flew open ; James jumped in and yelled like a maniac — Bully for old Purdue. At first I was scared and then I got mad. I looked up and saw James ; and what a sight. He was covered with yeller and black rib- bons and rosettes of all sizes, lengths and shapes. He looked like a clovra or like the pictures of the fool what olden-time kings used to have around ' em. I flew at him and he i back and as I fell he yelled, Five yards gain. I kicked at him while I was down and he yelled, Two more yards on a foul, and then hollered — Zip, rip, none o ' your lip. We ' re the pick from up the creek. We ' re from old Purdue. He acted like he was either drunk or crazy and I saw that I must conquer him now or never, and I up and gave him one and he called for one of the children to tackle her, and called for a half-back, and then I gave him another bout which sent him over on what my daughter laughingly said was a full- back. Then he got up and jumped for me, but I dodged him; he called a fumble and yelled — Nine ' rahs for old Purdue. Hoot, scoot, grab a root, Betsher boots that I ' m a beaut, I ' m from old Purdue. At this I saw his hat on the floor and wishing his head was in it, I gave it a savage kick and it landed squarely on the God bless our peaceful home motto that was hanging on the wall, and then James made what he called a center rush, caught me round the waist and said — Sally Ann, we ' ve won the game. You ' ve kicked goal, and I ' ll make a touch-down, and he kissed me on the cheek. 11. J. C. King : I room with Hull. 282 An Old B. S. ' s Dream. SAT before the glowing grate, where roared The natural gas through heaps of fire-clay ; And as its warmth around about me poured, I smoked my pipe, and thought of other days. And as I smoked, as men will often do, I fell asleep and dreamed of Old Purdue. Again I was a freshman, green and scared By a ' ful tales which upper classmen told About the hazing done ; how victims fared ; And how a freshman always was too bold. And once again my knees began to quake. As tho I ' d never learned ' twas but a fake. I lived again the battles of the tank, Where sophs and fresliies fought from dark till dawn, And saw the luckless victims of the prank Borne down the field to where dark gullies yawn.

Again the scenes changed; into Chapel shoved We all sat side by side, devoutly meek, And sang the songs that dear Old Prexie loved. And listened gladly when he rose to speak.

And then T was upon ol ' a Stuart Pield ; Old Gold and Black was floating every- where ; Our football team was making Cham- paign yield. The stirring Purdue yell filled all the air.

HE Senior History Class, including many of the brightest lights of the class of ' 01, finds itself assembled in Dr. Moran ' s room. The doctor bows profoundly and politely as the class enters the room and as he walks ma- jestically to the thermometer he inquires, anxiciiisly, rif the girls, if the rooni is warm enough. Miss De Frees is called upon to give a report of an eight hundred page reference book, which she has been reading in connection with the text-book. This she does, in a manner per- fectly satisfactory to herself as well as to Dr. Moran, for when she has finished he beams upon her with the utmost satisfaction and ejaculates with much emphasis this one word of approba- tion, Exactly, which, being interpreted, means good girl. Mr. Brimer is then called upon to recite upon the char- acter of George III. Rising upon his hind feet he says: George III, he done his best to keep the colonies, but they was very angry and he soon seen that his cake was dough. Mr. Kirkpatrick added that You might say that George III was to blame for the colonies rebelling, but just at this point in the recitation, Mr. Lannerd holds up his small right hand, and hav- ing been recognized by the chair, he proceeds to relieve his over- taxed mind and spouts at length upon the merits and demerits of George III, making frequent reference to the notes which he has taken with his new fountain pen. Dr. Moran braces him- self and listens respectfully, occasionally showing some little surprise at Mr. Lannerd ' s ability to misinterpret the printed page and also at his aptitude in using the wrong word in the right place. Lannerd, red in the face and short of breath, povmds himself into the narrow confines of the seat with a look on his face which seems to say, Beat it who can, when Miss Hiller, very much excited, darts up, and having started several sentences, finally follows out one, vivifying her recitation with a peculiar gesture something like that of a drowning man who snatches at straws. By the assistance of this gesture she makes it perfectly plain to the teacher as well as to the members of the class that Mr. Laimerd, Tau Beta Pi though he is, is, neverthe- less, like the Pope at Eome, not infallible. Dr. Moran then in- quires of Mr. Lannerd what work he read upon the subject. Lannerd replies that the author ' s name was Smith. Dr. Moran explains to the class that Smith, at one time, occupied the chair of history at Johns Hopkins, that he had vmtten, besides his History of England, a very commendable history of Helze- peck in ten large volumes, etc., etc. The class is requested to take note books and the doctor proceeds to give and expound a lecture upon the theory and practice of the English Constitution. He reads : If the Queen Harry Brown: A pleasant lad, but a trifle nutty. 284 should, at any time, become a Eoman Catholic, she wovJd ' ipso facto, ' by that very act, forfeit her right to the throne. According to the score card kept by Miss Marks, this was the one hundredth time the meaning of the word ipso facto had been explained and the centennial caused a suppressed giggle among the girls. Dr. Moran exhibits some pictures of interior of the House of Lords, and points out and explains the origin of the Wool Sack. He also shows a picture of Westminster Abbey, as well as one of the Seven Eefraetory Bishops. Then, after inquiring into the assignments for reading of the members of the class, the recitation is closed with an exhortation to the class to find time to go into the library, and to push on with the reading assigned. Another profound bow from the doctor and the class departs. Fbeshman (to another) : Say, are you working for Mike V Peofessok GoLDEjf (from behind the door:) Yis; he ' s workin ' for me. Peof.

In that class was one named William, Who though he knew not his lesson, And had flunked since the beginning, Woidd not stop nor pay attention To the precious words of wisdom From the lips of Mr. Jonas, Mr. Jonas of the long name. Vainly had the kind instructor Tried to show the wilful William That his conduct was not seemly, Was not nice and gentlemanly.

Spreading death and desolation ; And he made a careless answer. Then, without a word of warning. Sprang the much enraged Jonas Full upon the hapless William, Grasped the seat of William ' s trousers.

I am design- ing a steam engine and have foimd the size of my cylinder and now want to know how to find the size of my piston. I tried to find it from Mr. Kent ' s book, but that gives me too large a piston. Can you give me a formula that will work the problem ? Akth0b W. Howard. Jf. B. My name is Arthur, but the boys call me Denny, and I don ' t like it. Is there any way that I can stop them ? A. W. H. In reply to your query, will say that, although we do not know Mr. Kent personally, yet we would not like to gainsay him in any way. If the piston is too big you had better use it any way or else write to him, and see if he has his formula wrong. As to the boys calling you Denny, it is probably a form of en- dearment and you should not take it seriously. — Ed. Dear Me. Editor : I have been here for four years and would like to know how to be sporty now that I am about to enter upon my life ' s work. Oscar Coleman Klip.sch. It is with great concern that we read your request, but if you must be sporty, as you term it, why, learn to smoke cigar- ettes. — Ed. Dear Me. Editor : Will you kindly tell me how old Miss Doan is i I guess I might as well teU you why I want to know. She is so nice and looks so yoimg that most of the fellows in the class feel that they can ' t help falling in love with her. The thought has come to me that she must be real old to be such a good teacher, so I thought I would ask you about it before I let myself go too far. A. Freshman. Me. Freshman : You did well to confide in me before it became too late. The sands of time are strewn with the wrecks of Freshman hearts, ruthlessly cast aside by Miss Doan, to drift aimlessly toward their dooms. Take a friend ' s advice and steel your heart against that bewitching smile of hers. We cannot tell how old Miss Doan is. — Ed. My Dear Me. Editor: I am Louie Mayer of Indianapolis. I write you for in- formation, not because I need it particularly, but from exuber- ance, so to speak. The catalogue rates me as a Senior, as you probably know. But I am digressing. What I particularly wish to know is in regard to the professional work which I will take up on leaving Purdue. I have forty-two jobs offered me, and they are all good ones, the salaries ranging from fourteen thousand to fifty-four thou- •Such perfect taste in buying gifts. 288 sand dollars a year.

I drop you this line to suggest to you that it might be well to mention in the Debris the manner in which God and I are con- ducting chapel exercises and the affairs of the T. M. C. A. When I took hold of these matters they were sadly in need of a master mind, but now I feel safe in saying that, with a little care on God ' s part, the chapel exercises wiU be better attended, and more interest will be shown in Y.

ND it came to pass that a certain body of people were working in a laboratory, where a good and mighty man named Vanderkleed, from the land of Wea, where corn groweth and pumpkins wax large and luscious, sought to instruct ' ' - them in toxicology. 2. And things went well while he was near them, for they did work. 3. And it came to pass that this great and mighty man had to leave them for a while, to see a body of people called Nesters, in a land known as Balanceroom. 4. So he ordered his automobile and rode away. 5. And while he was gone, the brave and fearless Borland, from the land of Suckerdom, and the invincible Stuckmeyer, from the land of Page ' s Run, conceived a great desire to yell. 6. So they conversed with the people and talked about it in soft tones. 7. And the people agreed that it should come to pass. 8. So the brave and fearless Borland smote his desk with his fist, and proclaimed aloud, so that Phillips, the fire-man of the E. T. H., might hear and understand. 9. Then Bixler, the Poseycountyite, repeated the words: Yell, ye Phamiics, yell! 10. Then did the Pharmics yell. 11. Which moved the immortal Sturmer, wlio is sensitive of ear. 12. Sturmer wept. 13. The wave of enthusiasm fell also upon his people, the Juniors, who were likewise moved. 14. Then did Sturmer rise up in liis wrath. 15. And he vowed a vow that the Seniors should be pun- ished. 16. And he straightway started to find the mighty Van- derkleed, that he might make known to him how the Seniors had sinned. 17. As he was departing on this errand, certain of the Juniors were filled with the desire to maie known their pres- ence by loud voices. 18. But Sturmer, conceiving what was in their hearts, turned and said to his people, I dare one of ye to repeat the sins of the Senior people ; for, behold, I am It ! 19. So he went his way, and found the great Vanderkleed busy among his people, the Seniors. 20. And Vanderkleed, straightway perceiving that all was not well, said: Wherefore are ye troubled, O Sturmer? 21. And Sturmer answered, saying, Tour people have given vent to great noises, which disturb me exceedingly. Westfall: A man of perfect fashion. 22. And while he yet spake, there arose from the labora- tory of the Juniors a shout which reached even unto the ears of Sturmer. 23. Then Sturmer returned unto his own people and said : Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye are excused for the rest of this day. 24. So the Juniors put on their robes and straightway de- parted. 25. Then the mighty Vanderkleed turned to his people and said, Seeing that ye hate instruction, and cast my words behind ye, ye also are excused. 26. And some tarried awhile, but it availed not, for the great Vanderkleed was not kidding. A. A. Greeniek, imitation tough. If you want a pipe-dream on short notice, call up Fansler.

They were sitting on the grass in the shadow of the tank recalling the many incidents which formed the links to a chain of four happy years at Purdue. Do you remember, Bess, the first time I met you ? Quite well; for you immediately prostrated yourself at my feet. And have been there ever since. That banana skin I have on the wall of my room ; you know it began a new epoch in my life ! Oh, yes; the fall of T. Roy ! Even low wit is sometimes useful, if only to turn the con- versation from a dangerous topic, so Bess is excusable. I ' ve been building air-castles, Bess, announced the young man some time later, and I have a dandy future all laid out for myself. Oh, please lead me through the hazy halls and let me get a glimpse of the grandeur ! cried Bess, always enthusiastic over a product of the imagination. Well, I ' m going East, in spite of the emphatic injunc- tion to young men to ' go West, ' and I ' m going to just dig — that is, all week, and on Sunday I ' ll hold a review of soles. And revel in bachelor ' s weeds ! interrupted Bess. But be serious, now, Bess, and I ' ll tell you what I shall see in that smoke as it circles round my head. Go on, but be quick, for I ' m dying to say something. Well, methinks I ' U see my boarding-house room gradually disappear and in its place a cosy little library of my own, with the wind sighing outside and the fire dancing in the grate, and a sweet little girl buried in a large chair before it. She looks up, smiles, and I start towards her. Just as I lean over the chair the smoke clears and I see only my cheerless bachelor quarters. Don ' t you think my day dream should be realized ? What do you say, Bess ? Y— e— s— s— After several moments, in which actions speak louder than words, Bess exclaims in a smothered voice, There, I ' ve forgotten what I was going to say. Miss Meigs : Oh, Mr. Wilson, I am just in luck this afternoon ! How ' s that ? Why, we went up to French just after noon, and waited about ten minutes, but Madame didn ' t show up, so we came away.

Howe Shipley have given the ' 01 Debris management to understand very distinctly that the West Side trade is of no value to them. We infer from what they have told ns, that they added their line of student ' s instruments and tools to their stock out of a pure unsel6sh U ' ve for the students, and that they make no profit from them. Of course, such unselfish devotion touches us, but we think that the students should not impose upon these good people. Dd that they are anxious We would, therefore, advise the student purchasing such supplies as Howe Shipley have in stock, to go elsewhere, if possible.
