If it inter- ests others, we shall be pleased; if it pleases the students, we shall be satisfied. However, Students, we have never dreamed, even, that you would approve of everything in the book. The Primal Pair were not content with Eden — how much less will fallible students find their expectations satiated in this volume of imper- fections. Franklv, we -would be rather disappointed ourselves if you were to give it unqualified approval. We are not absolutelv content with it and if you should be. we would doubt the soundness of your judgment. And then, you (and we ) are better critics than writers, better with the sword than with the pen. It is easier to wreck than it is to build. But, even if «e have builded a castle in Spain whose imperfections make it worthless, in a sense, so long as it contains the records of our past hopes, the unique chapter of our history which is never lived but once, do we not preserve it — for a keepsake if for nothing more ? ' alue it as that onlv. Do not judge our art by RaphaeTs, nor our literature bv Shakespeare ' s. We could not reproduce theirs if we cared to ; we are sure they could not duplicate ours. We are but college editors. Judge us as we have judged you : by Adam and Eve, by Ananias and Sapphira. Bv your leave, Students, we present our handiwork. The Editors. June I, 1903.

Miller Bernice Nelson Prof. M. J. Golden a Intercollediate Athleti John F. G. Miller The Redemption of Our Athletics Five years ago the Purdue Athletic Association was three thousand dollars in debt. Under this state of affairs, expensive eastern coaches and more expensive incompetent undergraduate managers had to be dispensed with. Then came the struggle. Athletic victories go hand in hand with an opulent treasury; a depleted exchequer begets defeats on the gridiron, diamond, and track. The first step was to employ Mr. Esterline, graduate instructor in the electrical department, as manager of athletics, on as small a salary as he could be induced to accept. As it was, the salary consisted mostlj- in promises of payment if other necessary expenses could first be provided for. As a coach for the football team, former Captain Jamison, of the Varsit)-, also an instructor in the University, was prevailed upon to take up the work, the inducement being the promise of a very small salary and the gratification of his love for the Old Gold and Black. The baseball and track teams got along the best they could. The football team reduced its schedule, being content with but a few games. The next year disastrous defeats marred its record, the state championship was lost for the first time — but the debt was reduced. The next year the team lost its games, but the debt dwindled to reasonable dimensions. Last year, with an assistant to help Mr. Jamison, and some respectable equipment acquired through the generous loyalty of the class of 1901, the football team, with one exception, played to a standstill every team on its schedule, but losing, lacking — it may have been — only the habit of winning. However, the finances were at a point where bankruptcy no longer stared us in the face, and the team was brought to the threshold of victories. Here the work of Mr. Esterline and Mr. Jamison ended (the record of the team of 1902 is too recent to require rehearsal). At the present day our athletics are on a firm basis: the treasury is full and to spare, the teams are strong, the students full of enthusiasm. But in a year or two, if we have the good fortune to maintain our present condition, the vicissitudes of the past are likely to be forgotten, or they are liable never to be brought to the attention of the ever-changing student body. Their minds will be turned toward the past, perhaps, but the teams of ' 92 and ' 93 will shine the brightest, and the dark days of ' 99 will be passed by with the desire to forget them. The student generation of which the class of 1903 is the youngest quarter will not forget. And they will not be bitter memories either. Thermopylre and Bunker Hill were victories! So the last five years ' athletics is an inspiration. Silhouetted against the horizon are the figures of our Jamie and Estie, faithfully plodding, against great odds, with a fixed purpose to accomplish with the reward of the self-satisfying knowledge of serving well their Alma Mater — our Alma Mater. It is that same desperate insistence that enabled our Varsity to cheat the jaws of defeat last Thanksgiving Day, the ever-recurring outcropping of the Purdue Spirit — the in- spiration of our athletes, the tie that binds the students and alumni as one.

Once more we have started on- ward and upward toward leadership in western football, and why should we halt before that distinction is ours? We must not! Logically we have not reached our true position, and can only hope that the true Purdue determination maj- predominate until we reach that point which should be the goal of our ambition. During the past season we have made some advancement over past years and the enthusiastic support of faculty and student body has figured conspicuously in bringing about this result. Too much credit can not be given them for their loval support. As captain of the team I would be ungrateful did I not pay tribute in recognition of this spirit which is such a potent factor in Purdue ' s standing in western athletics. The team of 1902 was to some a disappointment, and I can not say that I place all who expected more in the Anvil Chorus, for I often feel that the coach and myself did not Capt. lkmie obtain from the pla -ers the last mite of available energy, and why should not I, in retrospect, as well as you, see the defects which were not visible to us when they should have been detected ? Before the season of 1902 had come upon us, many members of the team sacrificed a week of their vacation in preparing for the approaching struggles, and when the student body appeared, the first day they saw their team in actual practice. I admit the prospect looked bright. Coach and captain had all they asked for in the way of an abundance of material, the athletic association to look after our many wants, and a very enthusiastic student body to show its appreciation of our efforts. These conditions lasted until after we had defeated two teams of our own state, and then came the dark hours when we invaded the Sucker State, returning each time with the sting of defeat. This had not been antici- pated. Many blamed the captain, some blamed the team, claiming it had not plaved the football it knew how to plaj-, while others assailed the coach, and thus to the bitter sting of defeat was added the reproach of friends and their disappointment in our efforts. In the dark hour, however, there was a ray of sunshine on the horizon that came as a buoy of ho])e. It was the loyal support of the student bod}- that did not forsake the team, who did not forget for a single moment that we were their favored representatives. The stimulant was most effective, and the team at once caught the spirit of their examjale and rallied for the battles of the future. It was with this spirit that we met our avowed enemy from the clay- covered fields of Bloomington and trailed their banner of pride in the bitter dust of defeat. There we regained lost prestige and public confidence. The season did not end with that victory and with renewed effort we prepared for the repre- sentatives of Notre Dame, that team holding us to a tie. I will say that, for the first time since I have been able to contribute my small mite to Purdue athletics, in the contest with Notre Dame, luck was decidedly against us and was directl} ' instrumental in causing the contest to end in the way it did, for I still contend we had the better team. In summing up the season of 1902, I feel our efforts were not all in vain — our record has its dark spots with here and there a ray of sunshine. We scored 315 points to our opponents ' 68, we defeated the team that had bested us for three seasons, and another team which we had never before defeated was compelled to acknowledge inferiority — but then to think of the score of 6 to 6, the game which, barring luck, would have meant the state championship for Purdue, this was to me the bitter blow of the season. But we must not be discouraged nor disheartened, but must look forward to the season of 1903 and give our captain and team the same loyal support that was given in the past, and I am sure that old Purdue will land in the place she merits — with the leaders of the West.

The games lost can be attributed to one fact mainly, and that was the inability of the coach and his mismanagement of the players. The idea that any kind of a coach will do for baseball has had very much to do with losing the games lost in the last few years. Also last year we were handicapped by the late making out of the schedule. Purdue last year was left practically without pitchers and the bulk of the work had to fall upon Ide. Notwith- standing this fact, the weakness was balanced up by the star outfield (Cornell, Gaetje, and Hardy) who, it must be con- ceded, form the fastest outfield among the western uni- versities. This year ' s team will be without the services of Cornell and Ruby, but under the efficient leadership of Captain Leslie, with the aid of the new material, Purdue ought to be able to have a team that bids fair to advance a step higher in the Big Nine colleges. Purdue has always had a Capt. Ruiiv strong hitting and a fair fielding aggregation, but lacks ex- perience in running the bases; but with old men playing their game it is hoped that this f ault may be eliminated from the,play. theth oc Record, Members and Officials of 1902 Track Team Charles I.

The Track Team of 1902 The track team first aroused interest among the students bv its unexpected score in the indoor meet with Indiana and Notre Dame at South Bend in March, held in Xotre Dame ' s magnificent gymnasium. On account Hof her extremely poor facilities for indoor training, Purdue hoped only for a low second over Indiana, and was quite a little surprised, as were also other contesting teams, when the result showed that 32 points had fallen to her credit, to Xotre Dame ' s expected large score of 65 and Indiana ' s 9. Encouraged by this showing against such odds, the Black and Old Gold from that time on never lost sight of the coveted state championship trophy. In the dual meet with Indiana, held on the home grounds, our old rivals were not only defeated but were utterly routed by the humiliating score of 84-36. In like manner Oberlin, boasting that they were the champion team of the Buckeye state, returned with the same message to their school, the score of 79-25 show- ing how completely outclassed their team was. With the two victories to encourage us the team worked ' ' ' consistently during the time intervening until the state meet. This final event, held on the noted race track at Terre Haute, brought together nearly all the colleges represented in the I. I. A. A. But the interest centered on three teams — Purdue, Notre Dame, and Indiana. No one was certain who the victor would be. Although Purdue had splendid material, she was in a contest with the championship Irish team, and those who know the fighting spirit of our northern collegians know how they fight against defeat, and know what a victory over them means. Purdue not only gloriously defeated Xotre Dame but, better than that, again humbled the Pride of Indiana, and they were, indeed, a happy band of athletes who, amid Yellow and Blue, and Crimson and White, gathered around the well-deserved banner of 1902.

For two years the team played out its schedules under its own management, winning nearly all the games and complet- ing each season with a balance in the treasury. The Athletic Association, realizing the importance basketball was assuming as an intercollegiate sport, requested that the team come under its control. The team decided that, as it was then conducted, it could hardly well be considered more than a private enter- prise, it would be better for the interests of university athletics to become a department of the association. At the beginning of the season, the prospects for a win- ning team were excellent, but one of the old men being missing — ex-Captain Reimann — and an abundance of new men competing for places. Practice was started in the gymnasium at the first of the school year, but owing to the absence of Miller and Knapp, due to their being on the football squad, the development of team play was not attempted. Lucas and Peck of the 1902 champions took the new men in charge and developed individual playing. Almost immediatel}- after the football season a game was played with Wabash. Very little team work was exhibited, and but little was expected, as the five had played together but three or four nights. The game was won, however, by a good margin, showing the high-class individual play and the great possibilities in the team. Each succeeding game showed great improvement until the end of the year brought to a close a season of unbroken victories. During the entire season the team was much encouraged by the interest taken by the students, and to this, to a great extent, is due the faithfulness of the squad in its practice. The members of the second team deserve special praise for their interest in developing the Varsity. It was an extraordinarily strong second team, often playing the Varsity even, and it is ver_ - probable that it could have won several of the games on the schedule. Shortly after the close of season, Claire Peck, the star forward of the team, was rewarded for his faithful and brilliant work b}- being elected captain for the succeeding year. Although two old men will be missing next j-ear on account of graduation, with the strong second team from which to choose, the prospects are far from discouraging and we may expect another year of victory. During the past three years that Purdue has had intercollegiate basketball, thirty-two games have been played. Of these, twenty-nine have been won. ' ery few teams can show such a record. In that time the team has scored 1.17S points to 47S by ojjpoiicnts. Not a single defeat has been suffered at the hands of a college team. Yale, the champions of the East; Chattanooga Athletic Club, champions of the South; and all the teams Purdue ever played in Indiana have been defeated, and the state championship won indis]iutably three times. This is the team which Purdue is proud to claim as her own. Joseph H, Kn.app, Captain ' 01. a J WkAMEKS or THE p Football A. P. la nison F. . Berkev J. B. Knapp B B B ' Esterline E. F. Mills I. S.

Fry Secretary and Treasurer Black Bachtenkircher Thomas Todd Jamison Fry Doubles Jamison and Black Tennis at Purdue Purdue is behind the other colleges of the state in tennis, and does not rank with them in this game as in other athletic sports. There is not as much interest shown in the game here as at other institutions, and probably this can be accounted for by the absorbing interest in base-ball and track work, and from the fact that there arc no permanent courts on the campus or on Stuart Field. Taking an inter- est in base-ball and supporting the track team is the proper thing to do, but one can do this and play tennis at the same time — if there were any place to play. Many students sit idly on the bleachers every evening watching the base-ball |)ractice and track work and wishing that they, too, might take some part in ath- letics. Every one can not play base-ball nor make the track team, and there is plenty of room for another game to be sujjported by the students. Tennis is coming to be more and more recognized each year as an intercollegiate sport. An example may be cited to show how tennis is regarded in other colleges by refer- ring to one of the jjrominent athletes of Indiana who last year left the track team for the court, whose record on the track, by the way, was lo 2-5 in the 100 yard dash. Are we at Purdue to remain behind other colleges in this respect? There are bound to be some good tennis players in a school of 1,200 students, but under existing conditions it is practically impossible to develop them. The question is often asked: Where are the tennis-courts at Purdue? Just whv there is none cannot be answered here. There is plenty of available space on the campus where courts could be put without defacing the appearance of the grounds or in any way interfering with the military drill. In fact, courts properly placed and kept in good condition would add to the appearance of the campus. Stuart Field has ample unoccupied space for the construction of courts. Until such courts are built we cannot expect to do very much in tennis. A few statistics are given below to draw a comparison of the interest taken in tennis at the different Indiana colleges: Number N u m b e r S t u d e n t s College Enrollment Courts toOneCourt FrRDi-E . . . 1300 ... 6 . . . 200 DePauw ... 600 ... 6 ... 100 INIJIAXA . . 900 . , 14 . c,y Hanover ... 130 ... 4 ... 33 Butler . . 200 ... 7 . . . 29 Our records for the last few years have not been very good, but compared with our facilities for practicing, w-e have made a remarkable showing. For the last three years we have belonged to the State Tennis Association, composed of the schools mentioned above. Last year Rucker, of Indiana, won first place in the singles, and Harrison and Rucker, of Indiana, won the doubles. In this tournament Purdue finished third in the singles and last in the doubles.

The Twentieth Century Engineer Banq— If you can look into the seeds of time And say which grain will grow and which will not, Speak then to me. — Macbeth. Act i. Dealing in futures is not alwa -s a game of chance. There are times when the gulf stream of evidence flows with so strong and certain a tide that specula- tion is limited to play upon the humors of the passage, rather than to concern itself with the final outcome of the voyage. In such a case, any novice may safely indulge his opinion with little risk of failure, and although his prophetic wisdom be held cheap, there is little danger of real condemnation. On such a footing does he now stand who passes on the Twentieth Century Engineer. In fact the outlook for the engineer is too dazzling, too sure to fall within the province of the fate-controlling, venerable seer. There is no especial merit in foretelling what is patent to everyone; however, the theme, is interesting and with the heaping output of the century just closed in our mind ' s eye, it is pleasant to speculate on the unborn prodigies of engineering, now struggling in the womb of the present century. When we project ourselves behind the screen of the nineteenth century and look forward on the wonders it has brought to light, the tales of the Arabian Nights fade into commonplace, but if the nations can only be trusted to keep the peace for a time longer it is safe to say what is alread}- shown is but a tithe of what is yet to be revealed. Science, engineering and liberal education are responsible for this progress, and the evident touch-stone of further growth is measured in the facilities afforded for advancing and developing these agencies. The scientific instruction of science is of recent development, being easily within the memory of men still living. The discoveries of Newton, Faradaj-, Davj?, Clausius, Maxwell and Lord Kelvin have made technical instruction possible; the inventions of Watt, Stevenson, Arkwright, Hargreaves, Crompton, Cartwright and others have made such instruc- tion necessary. To be an engineer in the full sense of the term, a man must be intimately conversant with the works of these great men and in mastering such he becomes the educational peer of priest, lawyer and physician as an economic unit in society, perhaps the superior of any of them. The era of scientific discovery which these men inaugurated found the schools for higher education still engaged in the impracticable pursuit of studies that the old scholastic movement had bequeathed; precious time was wasted on dead languages, while dead meta- physical and theological discussion strangled new thought. This old conception that higher education should be largely ornamental, that the graceful accomplish- ments should be cultivated rather than the useful, has been largely supplanted by the new idea, which savs, on the contrarv, that study should be directed along lines intensely practical; that it should fit man to successfuUv fight the battle of evervda}- life; that valuable time shall not be wasted embalming dead issues on the slim pretext that the brain is being trained to think when the same exercise can be obtained in the cultivation of the useful and beautiful, beautiful because it is useful; that every man and woman shall be a self-sustaining unit in societv; that they shall be able to work with their hands as well as their head; that thev shall be able to make things and enjoy the work, be proud of their proficiency, respect their calling and those engaged in it; that they shall be of some real use to society and not grow up as the lily that toils not. Modern technical instruction aims to fulfill these conditions. It aims to instill into the mind of youth the principles upon which the industrial enterprises of a country rest, to give him a thorough theoretical and practical training along the particular branch of engineering he elects as a profession, but not neglecting the broadening influences of general culture. In the words of ] Ir. Robert Moore, the engineer must know everything about some one thing and something about everything. Useful knowledge or acquirements that form the polish and culture of the few in one age become the requisite of the man}- in the next. So, where the common-school education formed the necessary and sufficient condition for aver- age citizenship a few j-ears ago, present exigencies make some form of special preparation indispensable. In commerce, in manufacture, in agriculture, a like increase in the efficiency of the human element is demanded and the spirit with which new conditions are being met is most commendable, all classes evincing an insatiable appetite for knowledge, willingly expending their leisure hours in study and devouring the most abstruse subjects with unabashed avidity. Witness the growth of the correspondence schools. What does it mean? It means that the artisan is not willing to see the gap widen between himself and those directing his efforts, so he greedily snaps at the first opportunity his wage will afford to level the barriers that prevent his advancement. Popular technical instruction in the United States may be said to date from the Act of Congress, July 2nd, 1S62, which pledged national and state support to the Land Grant Colleges. We have then had forty years of free education in the higher branches. At first the number taking advantage of this opportunity was not large, but recent growth is phenomenal and the achievements of those owing their early training to this source have been so signal and augur so well for the future output that henceforth it will be the peculiar care of both national and state government to foster an institution that is so largely responsible for our ])rescnt commercial supremacy. It is not but a little while ago that technical men were looked upon by manufacturers and industrial promoters as a class of visionaries of little practical worth. The technical man did not fit existing conditions so well as he does now. Science and manufacture were then farther apart, but all this is now changed. The manufacturer has risen to the occasion, perhaps he is the former aspirant tur position; the technical student is now better qualified, his way has been paved. His elder brother has broken down the barriers of prejudice by demonstrating liis superiority over his fellow-laborer not so prepared, until to-day scarcely a position of technical importance goes to a man unless he can say I am a techni- cal graduate and if he can add — of Purdue so much the better for him. In the history of the world it has often happened that one age promulgates what its predecessor thought out; one gives the principle, the next adapts it; one makes the tools, the ne. t uses them; and, instead of the discovery of new, undreamed, of forces in nature, it may be the business of the age we live in to adapt civilization to the conditions newly created by the genius of the last century. As the procession of great scientific and engineering feats of the century just closed passes before the retina, it is easy to conjure up new wonders for the one we live in; easy to picture airships and submarine craft as commonplace, to annihilate space, to converse with inhabited planets, to tap the interior source of the earth ' s heat supply, to stamp reality on the wildest dreams of the visionary and cry millenium, but far be this from our purpose on our idea of progress. A deeper interest is now focused in the engineer himself, in the man and his relations to his co-laborer and the body politic. So far the engineer has dealt almost entirely with the inanimate forces of nature. Although the largest consumer and director of human energies, he has (juite neglected to provide for his most valuable agent. He has neglected the man for the machine. He has shunned all administrative duties of state and left the weal of his assistant to be administered without sympathy or understanding. But the times point to a change. A closer adjustment of the relations between capital and labor is demanded and the engineer filling, as he does, all the steps between these two. feeling sympathy for the one and earning the confidence of the other, must find the way. If he brings the same penetrating, practical research, the same love of truth, to bear on this problem that he has on his less vital materials, the same suc- cess will surely attend his efforts. It is inevitable that the engineer assume a leadership in the potent affairs of government; he is now indispensable to the arts of both peace and war and growing rapidly more so with each new discovery and invention. One Sunday morning last winter we visited the St. Louis Exposition grounds in a snow storm, and saw there the sculptured casts of our patron Ladies ol Science shivering in the scanty chemise of incompletion. From uncoped panel and pediment they overlooked a wilderness of building material and idle engines of construction. No workman was to be seen, no hum of toil, only a strange motley of idle tools, bare rafters, arches springing like spider webs from wall to wall; here an angle of exquisite beauty against which leaned a pile of rubbish; the outlook on one side a bleak wood, on the other a bald plain; a lea den, desolate sky overhead, the ground about seamed with ditches and piled with mounds of earth, the unsightliness of which even the snow could not hide or transform. So striking was the similitude between ruin and springing magnificence, that, as we contemplated, we said, here in the building of this splendid toy of engineer- ing, in this monument to industrial progress, is the allegorical symbol of the growth of modern science; such was its chaotic state at the dawn of the nineteenth century, in such a shapeless mass was the raw material, needing only the touch of the magician. But wait a little while and vernal winds will kiss that wintry scene to one of sensuous beauty; limpid waters will lap the grassy banked lagoons and fall in rain- bow hues from the lips of gorgeous fountains, yon woods will form a bank of living green, towers and minarets and gilded domes will top the various piles and niche and cornice echo back the plaudits of admiring thousands. Wait a little while, till the end of another century, wait, as Emerson savs. till the whole land is a garden and the people grown up in the bowers of a paradise. To whom then will fall the country ' s blessing? To whom but to her Engineers? K. Why is a Crow? In some respects, the Purdue college spirit is an ideal one. W ' e are now dis- cussing it from the standpoint of the Purdue students ' relations to visiting athletic teams. In former days, in the Middle West, college students backed their teams with their fists as well as with their lungs and pocket books, and rows on the athletic field were much more common than they are now. Purdue developed in athletics among the earliest in the West, and with this development came a better feeling to the Purdue students toward rivals in athletics. Other schools developed sooner or later in this respect, but some of the smaller schools, and those more remote, still retained, in a subdued measure, their same pristine spirit of discour- tesy. It soon became a hard matter, however, for the students of a more gener- ously developed spirit to maintain their equanimity when brought in contact with students representing the other class of schools. Indiana University spirit has developed slowly. Repeated defeats of its teams might have been responsible for this condition, or vice versa. On account of her teams not being viewed with respect abroad, this tendency on the part of her students did not attract as general attention as it might otherwise. Within the past student generation, however, her teams have been uniformly better. On the other hand, an improved tone in the general spirit of her students has not been manifest, the reverse, rather, being true. This is an indisputable fact in the face of such witnesses as Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Purdue, all first-class colleges. Within the past two years each one of these schools has charged Indiana with gross offenses against intercol- legiate courtesy, Michigan refusing to play Indiana at foot-ball at Bloomington on account of the brutal tactics of the I. U. players, Notre Dame preferring the same charge, Nebraska refusing to go to Bloomington on their base-ball trip on account of the deliberate robbery of a game by an I. U. umpire, and Purdue refusing to remain on the foot-ball field and thereby become a party to one of the most bare- faced pieces of unfairness ever attempted. We do not think I. U. can impeach all these witnesses with Bloomington testi- mony, and have the result received in good faith. Why, then, in the face of im|)roved I. U. teams of late 3 ' ears does such a spirit characterize the I. U. student body? Why is such a lack of courtesy shown visiting teams, why such contcm]n meted out to defeated rivals, why such an all-consuming desire on the part of the I. U. athletic management to win at any cost, all of which is patent to any student visiting the Bloomington school? Why would Purdue rather defeat Indiana than any other school? Why was it last sjjring that there was more rejoicing over a score of 71 to 25 administeretl by our |)lucky basket-ball champions to the I. U. team than there was over a score of 67 to 10 made bv the same team a few weeks later against the sons of mighty Old l- ' .li? It is not because of Indiana ' s long and illustrious athletic record, for she 154 has none; it is not because her teams always fight to the last down, making a victory over them doubl}- sweet, for they do not always do that; nor is it because there is an}- personal feeling between the members of the teams of the two schools, nor between their students. The cause for the quality of the temper of this feeling is not hard to find. Let a man who has lived in other college towns all his life go to Bloomington. The town appears as little like the typical college town as it well could. The effects of the culture and refinement of the graduates of a school of national repu- tation of three-quarters of a century- are . Bloomington should not be a povert}-- stricken town. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are annuall}- expended in the town by students, and an immense amount of money is received every year from the great stone industry which flourishes in the county. Men of national and international reputation have lived in Bloomington and attended school there, but this scho ol, supposed to be an exponent of the highest learning and culture, seems to have exerted absolutely no influence whatever upon the town. Mudd) ' streets, miserable hotels, wretched common schools, a foul court-house and surroundings, in fact, a general state of primitive conditions seems to characterize Bloomington as the most undeveloped town for its supposed advantages in the state of Indiana. Monroe County is Indiana ' s hot-bed of whitecappers, whose savage deeds may be due in a measure to Monroe and Brown County ' s moonshine whiskey ' s delectable effects. Suppose the stranger should decide to attend a foot-ball game on Jordan Field. Before the game had progressed very far he would soon discover that the I. U. students e.xerted practically no influence on his surroundings there. He would find the key to the situation: The I. U. student body has no character of its own. They are no more responsible for the condition of affairs that prevail on Jordan Field than they are for the appearance of Bloomington. The character which the student body has is contributed by the toughs and thugs of Bloomington. Negroes and white trash of the lowest order give to it its tone. It has been the case for fifty years, that the Bloomington scum has dominated the I. U. students. It is this element that sits on Indiana ' s bleachers and villifies players of visiting teams, whose coarse remarks and filthy jeers insult ladies who have the misfortune to attend such games; it is they who crowd on the field in big foot-ball games and seek for opportunities to do bodily injur}- to visiting players; it is they who throw mud and dust at base-ball players; it is they, alas! who lead the yells, whose billingsgate and uncouth actions should bring a blush of shame to the Pride of Indiana, and who add insult to injury and injury to insult by following visitors to trains and stoning the trains as long as they are within range. And the Indiana students, what do they do besides give implied approval to such doings by their silencer Do they place their fingers in their ears to keep out the discord, do they secretK- encourage and abet such actions, do they cringe in cowardly fear and pay tribute to the bullying domination of ignorant instigators. du they dcnv that such a condition of affairs exists, or do they apathetically dis- claim responsibility for them, being content to allow town riff-raff to do work, which they may or may not consider necessary, so dirty that they would not soil their fingers in its filth? What Purdue students know and what students of other schools know is that it is allowed. Students of other schools maintain their inde])endence. As an example, it has not been many years since an organized body of Purdue students ran out of town a lot of sports of LaFayette who had tried to villify the players of Purdue ' s and visiting teams. It was a lesson not soon forgotten; it was the timelv checking of an element which for that very reason is small in West LaFay- ette. I. U. students allow these outrages to be committed and besmirch the fair name of Gloriana, giving a color not its own to Indiana ' s college spirit, allows such things to make bitter enemies instead of good rivals of neighboring schools. We have not overdrawn this picture. This is as it appears to an outsider. Probably the sensibilities of I. U. students are so dulled that they do not appre- ciate the truth, but it is plain. On this account, therefore, we say that, in this respect, the Purdue spirit is nearly ideal, the only evidence of bitter feeling being the unlimited applause which a victory over an I. U. team elicits from the Purdue student body. We do not expect that this preachment will fall on fertile ground, and for that reason will tender some good advice. Follow our example, Indiana: organize a company of students who have a high regard of the value of a good reputation to a school, and run this scum to the hills of Brown County, clarify the atmosphere of stuffy old Bloomington, and start a crusade for civilization before you attempt to teach ethics; and having a solid foundation, your sciences and arts will mean more, for, you know, culture, as well as charity, should begin at home. Get Purdue engineers to make you some streets, get Purdue engineers to devise you a means of disposing of your garbage outside the public stjuare, get Purdue engineers to build you a court-house where your neighbors, the whitecaps and moonshiners, may receive justice along with the disturbing element of Blooming- ton and Jordan P ield; and above all, import some Purdue students to give you a college s|)irit with red blood in its veins and that has some sense of honor and justice. We have now finished. Sooner and Later The Plunging Half-Back sat toasting his feet before the fire, while scattered around his arm-chair lay copies of the Sunday editions of every newspaper pub- lished within a radius of three hundred miles. Long and fondly he gazed at his photographs inserted in each paper with prodigal disregard for the preciousness of space. Self-admiringh ' he drank in the headlines time and again, repeating his name softly each time it occurred there, then half closing his eves he would imagine the expression that would steal over the face of Mabel at home when she would read those same lines. A crowd of small boys stopped in front of his window while one pointed a timid finger and whispered to his mates, That ' s him. The Earnest Young Man with a Purpose in Life who diligently scabbed in stresses and lab. read the same papers, and his breast swelled with pride as he thought of the glorious victory his team had won yesterday when the Plunging Half-Back hurdled for a touchdown and victory- in the last minute of play. In the local ]3aper he noted with interest his name in the announced program of one of the technical societies ' meeting. Then he picked up a copy of Church. A num- ber of students passed by and carelessly glanced in. Watch him scab, one said. A man with ponderous back bent laboriously- over a piece of draughting smeared with grime and marred by innumerable erasures. A man with an earnest look on his face stepped quickly from an automobile at the door, and advancing rapidly he reached authoritatively for the design. Hurry up and make a good job of that, he said. I must have it in an hour in order to secure the contract for constructing the Intercontinental Railway. The Old Tight Wad, growled the Office Boy, to make Old Bill work like that. The Indiana Hog From the days of our Pilgrim F athcrs the hog has al va3 ' s been with us. He came with them across the briny pond and landed with them upon that cold, bleak New England coast at Plymouth Rock. He found his way over the Allegheny Mountains, down through the foothills of Pennsj-lvania, down the grand old Ohio River, leaving his brothers and sisters on its banks, until he reached the grand old cedar bluffs of Indiana. It would give volumes of interesting reading if farmers had left behind stories of his individual benefit, ever dividing the hardshi ps, with a contented grunt for the smallest favors. It would be the story of millions that the Indiana hog laid the foundation for their happy, free, and independent homes. If wc were not so forgetful and did not ascribe success to our own individual efforts, forgetting that in the mighty struggle he divided the hardships of poor shelter, storms, and star- vation, we would pay tribute to the Indiana hog, acknowledging his aid and remem- bering his self-sacrificing benefits. It was the Indiana hog that furnished the table with the necessaries and many of the lu.xuries of life; that paid for shoes and overcoats; it was he that paid for the first cow; he that paid for the first plow; it was he that furnished the money for taxes, however small thev were — but they were cash. When other products of the farm went begging on the market and had to be sold for half cash and half trade, he demanded cash and it was ever forthcoming. He walked to the slaughter- house, his future sarcophagus, and there gave up his life to liquidate the note on the team. He bought the school-books, he paid the price for large barns, for horses, and cattle, while he, without a note of discontent, took up his abode in a straw pile, and his lusty sons and daughters excelled in value the three-year-old steer in ten months ' time. It was the Indiana hog that lighted the first Christmas tree and furnished the toys for the children. He bought the first silk dress for the farmer ' s wife. To-da - he buys more pianos for Indiana ' s daughters than any other breed of live stock on our farms. It was the Indiana hog that replaced the log huts with beau- tiful brick mansions that we see scattered throughout Hoosierdom. He paid for the educations in city schools, and t he university boy forgets that his superior education is somewhat due to the Indiana hog. When the Indiana farmer trusted his all in corn and that commodity went down below the cost of production, he found in the Indiana hog his only salvation, he paid his way ten pounds per bushel live weight. Corn was no longer a drug in the market, it was no longer used as fuel — he replaced it with coal and gasoline. He brought about a diversified farming, a mixed husbandr}-, if you please. Go where you will, and if you find him intelligently cared for with a liberal hand the farmer ' s reward is sure to come. Vou, young Indiana farmers, read, think, stick with intelligence to the Indiana hog and ho sticks to you like a brother.

We do this with a feeling of confidence. We have been bitter enemies in our time, Naughty Four, where such petty differences as class politics and tank supremacy have been concerned. Or, rather, let us say, we have been good enemies. But our contests are ended now, and we resign this common work to you with that same confidence in your ability and with the same faith in your honor as when we have fought shoulder to shoulder with vou for the Black and Old Gold. Now, as we are about to take our leave, the petty rivalry of the past sinks into the mist of that which we choose to forget, and we drink a health to your succession. To Dr. Stone we bequeath our best wishes for a future devoid of care. At times, we fear, we have been a burden to your mind. Doctor. But then, you know, the Pride of the Faculty, if it were not the care of the faculty as well, might not be so highly esteemed. We have disproved the maxim that the people with a history are unhappy. Ours has been a short but lustrous one and we leave the pro- tecting gates of our Alma Mater with stout hearts not embittered by unhappiness. Our short conflicts and trials have served to make us keen for the struggle with the Wolf. We have been disobedient at times. Doctor, yet all the diabolical deeds laid at our door have not been our acts. Your admonitions and warnings are all cherished in our memory. May all our future dealings be with men no more un- just than you. To Professor Ferry we bequeath a stirring chapter of history, whether it was of a struggle for the maintenance of man ' s inalienable rights or a mere autumnal diversion. No matter — bon jour. To the Junior Class we bequeath John Atlee Barnes. He is gone now but he will return. He will stay with you as long as you are juniors. Like gold when you die, when you cross the dark river of Ignorance and become an enlightened senior, you must leave him behind. To Professor Hatt we leave a pleasant smile. Use it. Professor. It is not necessarily incompatible with pedagogical dignity. With Secretary PLUsworth we have left all our money, and all our fathers ' money and the money of their fathers before them. We want none of it ; it is the root of all evil. To Dr. Coulter and Dr. Moran have left enough material for stories to last for many years.

And then I ' ll leave this gay old college life. Hut won ' t you be awfully lonesome away off in South America? Ves, Alice, but you know every lane has a turning, and my college lane turns into one for business in South America. But here, our drive is ended now. I don ' t see any light in your house. I wonder it your folks have returned. I ' ll just hitch the horse and wait on the veranda with you until your mother gets back. All right. Jack, but there is a light now; she must be back. My! I didn ' t know it was so late. Look at the moon, how big and high it is. Yes, the old moon. He makes me feel like saying nice things. Here, let me carrv your big hat and your wrap. The calm which follows the sunset and precedes moonrise was all-pervading, except for a zephyr which floated across from the Wabash laden with the sweet fragrance of locust blossoms. (A pause in the conversation as they slowly wended their way up the walk to the door.) I wonder- — What, Jack? If you ' ll miss me when I am gone. What a foolish thought! Of course I will. They had now reached the steps. They climbed the steps slowly. She one step in advance of him, and when she reached the topmost one, he stopped. Alice! Yes, Jack, what is it? You know as well as I — I love — No, don ' t Jack. Yes. but I must. My whole life for four years has been leading up to this. I love you with all the passion in m}- soul. I — Stop, Jack, it can never be. I ask you tor the first and last time, will you marry — Don ' t force me to say it. Jack. Good by. Without another word he turned and retraced his steps down the walk. He prided himself on his determination and positive speech, even at the cost of his feelings, but he went down the walk slowly, fully expecting her to follow him and retract her words. His heart leapt with hope when he head a soft foot-fall in the grass behind him and a sidewise glance over his shoulder revealed her shadow as she rapidly apjjroached. Stop, Jack, he heard her call. He turned on his heel and started impetuously towards her, extending both arms. Don ' t run away that way, you foolish boy. Here, take your hat. You are wearing my big Gainsborough away. All right.

No, it isn ' t, Dick, although it does mean a great deal to me, and I do wish you would stop your foolishness and be serious just for a minute, and think how you are wasting your time and opportunities. Why, Mildie, dear, if I were to be as serious as vou always are, I am afraid our pleasant little evenings would degenerate into what the polite advance agent denominates as screaming farces. Mildred was silent a moment and sat looking into the fire, while Dick, big, broad, and handsome, watched her with rapt attention, thinking, yet hardly daring to think, of the time two or three years hence when he should be out of school, and be a man for himself, while his quizzical smile and e3 ' es masked the gravity of his thoughts. Mildred arose. Now, Dick, you be still while I talk to vou, and don ' t you dare sit there and smile at me, and make a joke of it. You have heard it all before, but I am going to begin at the very beginning and tell it to vou all over again. The boys tell me you have just gotten through another flunk test, with the highest grade of those that had to take it. Now. Dick, I can ' t understand it; why are you so persistently in trouble with your grades, when your slightest effort does more for you than for so many others who study hours to get as much? No, don ' t you shake your head, and say ' hot air ' either, because it ' s true. You know last winter when Jack Dennet was sick and you took care of him and studied because there was nothing else to do, you were easily the best man in your section. And that ' s another thing; why are you so persistent in helping others when you won ' t help yourself ? The boys tell me that you were more careful in nursing him than any woman could have been. But why shouldn ' t I be? blazed up Dick; doesn ' t he play on the same team with mc, and last year when I made all those magnificent sixty-yard runs around end, that the papers all ranted about, wasn ' t he the one that got all the hard knocks; didn ' t he head the interference, and get bumped and beaten, while I just trailed on behind to carry the ball. Then didn ' t I get all the honor, and he the work? I couldn ' t do enough for him. But all that won ' t explain your carelessness in your work. Your father is sending you here to learn something, and then you just barely get through and always have conditions hanging over 3-ou. Now, Mildie, I have told 3 ' ou that father doesn ' t care whether or not I am a top-heav ' shark. ] am going into the bank as soon as I get through here, and all 164 the mathematics I ' ll need is simple addition and subtraction, and not whether y = px. He sent me here to mix up with the world away from home influences, and to learn men and women, though when I met you I stopped on the latter in general and am devoting my time to the investigation of a single member, but I don ' t think I ' ll ever learn half it can teach me. The dad had heard that Purdue was the easiest place to get into and the hardest to get through (though, Lord knows, I have nearly been kicked out several times!), and thought he would be rid of me so much longer by sending me here. The color flamed into Rlildred ' s usually pale cheeks. Dick, do you honestly mean this? Do you mean to say that you intend to go on just barely escaping the C ' s and D ' s because you don ' t think your father cares? Do you intend not to improve you opportunities even if you can ' t see the present use of them, and go on spending your father ' s money on dances and drives and, I am afraid, not a little on poker? Well, Mildie, I don ' t think I intend to do all these things, but I am afraid that ' s just about what will happen. Then I shall have to ask yo x to take this back, said Mildred, taking his pin, that precious little bit of enamel and jewels, from over her heart. Why, what do o x mean, Mildred? he asked, taking her hand along with the pin. I should think you ought to know, she said, the color again leaving her face. They did not meet again for several months, each thinking they had been following an ideal which had proven false. Dick felt that he had been wronged according to his standard, and Mildred was as much disappointed with herself as with him for being so deceived. One late afternoon in March Mildred was visiting the old colored woman who since their advent in the city had been a sort of general servant to them at times. She had stayed longer than she intended, for the old woman liked her exceed- ingly, and both amused and piqued her with her curios ity and advice. Whar ' s youall fraternity pin what you used ter wear, and purt near tore the house down for when you thought you had lost it? the old woman had asked. I — I haven ' t it any more; I gave.it back. Dick wasn ' t just what I thought he was. To save herself she started putting on her wraps, preparatory to leaving. Just then a rap sounded on the door. When it was opened, there stood big Dick Harding, with a little colored boy clinging tightly to his finger. Here ' s a little ' Lost in New York ' that was afraid to go home alone because it was dark. I was coming out of the hospital where one of the boys is laid up, and I found this chap sobbing as if his heart would break, ' cause it was dark and he was afraid to go home alone. ' So I agreed to act as pilot, and here we are, he announced, cheerfully. A stir in the corner attracted his attention, and glancing casually, he recognized the girl. Oh, he said, 1 beg your pardon; I didn ' t know you had visitors. Well, Kid, turning to the boy, don ' t go out after dark any more, when you ' re ' skeered ' to go home else we ' ll have to found a place to keep chaperons for little darkies caught out at night. He turned to go. Meanwhile Mildred was undcrgoinga cataclysm. Wasn ' t his goodfcllovvship better than an unrelenting ideal, and kindness better than A grades? Uick, Dick, she said. Dick turned. Dick, it ' s dark, and I am afraid to go home alone. The Wagers of Tin is Debt Williams jumped off the street car as it ran down Waldron Street and raced like mad to the Alpha Delta Chi chapter-house. He knew something, and whenever Williams knew something it was generally not many minutes before every other Alpha Delt knew it, too. He went through the doorway and up the steps with a gallop, as he did so giving voice to a premeditated howl which he intended as laughter. He knew the gang would be back in Jackson ' s room lounging on his bed for at this time of the day that person was usually attending a glee club rehearsal and the bed could be demoralized with impunity. Well, tell it. Speak up! They greeted him before he reached the room. Wow! Yeouw! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-HA-A-A-A! roared Williams, as a means of exciting the amount of interest he thought his news was worth. Shut up out there! Sit on that imbecile, somebody, came from a would-be student in the adjoining room. What ' s up? asked little Dixon. Promised not to tell. Guess, said Williams, mysteriously, as he took a dive for the davenport. Then he pretended to be interested in a newspaper. The other students went on with their interrupted conversation, not caring to gratify Williams ' s egotism by manifesting uncommon interest in his antics, and knowing full well he would proceed in a few minutes, any way. Any of you fellows seen ' Pet? ' he finally asked, and then went into a spasm of laughter. Naw, what ' s up? He ' s in love, said Williams, calmly, sinking behind his newspaper and trying to get a glimpse of the reflections on the loungers in the mirror, to note the effect he knew his statement must have. It had the desired result, manifested in such incredulous remarks as, Go soak your head, Come out of your trance, etc. Honest, he is, said Williams; I met him on the square down town, and as I went past he half looked uj) and said, sort of absent-mindedly, ' Hello, Dolly. ' I guyed him about it and he told me the whole thing, but I promised I wouldn ' t say a word about it. Well I ' ll be— began his audience. What ' s that? said Jewell, quickly entering the room. Pet ' s in love. With whom? Don ' t you know about it? No; tell him ' Bill. ' Bill Roberts, the man addressed, rested himself on one elbow, threw a cigar stub across the room at nothing in particular, and began: 167 I tliought ou knew about it, Dad. Three or four weeks ago, about the middle of the semester, a lot of us fellows were in my room one night talking about that Beta, last June, who threw Miss Sears down for that girl of his back home. Everybody thought it was a dirty trick and said he should not have paid so much attention to her while he was engaged to the sylvan beauty over at Rich- mond. About that time Preston came in, and after listening a while said, con- temptuously, that it was all due to a lack of tact that any unpleasantness occurred. He said it was not necessary for a man to shut himself up m his room at school and not look at a girl simplj ' because he was engaged to one at home. He said the Beta ought to have exercised a little common sense in the way he led up to the matter, and should have broken his engagement with Miss Sears more carefully, but instead of that he probably told her, bluntly, like a hod-carrier, that she could slide, as he had to marry a girl with the coin of the realm. We all disagreed with him and said such a thing couldn ' t be done, if the girl were really in love, without leaving a blemish on her disposition. At this Preston flashed a ten-dollar bill and offered to wager it that he could do the trick so neatly that the Beta would look like thirty cents. He asked us to name the girl, the time in which it should be done, and the odds we wanted that he couldn ' t do it. Of course it was a fool thing for him to say, and I took him up at twenty- five cents to his ten dollars that he couldn ' t become engaged to Dolly Ayers, break the engagement, and have Dolly ' s heart whole by commencement. I knew the Little Widow ' knew his reputation as a flirt and that he would have a merry time catching her as she can see right through a fellow, and Pet knew it too, but he was game, asked me if I wouldn ' t take bigger odds, and left the room advising us to ' watch his smoke. ' Now, Williams says he is in love with her, added Kirk. Wait till he comes to-night; we ' ll fix him, said Potter. He ' s the most conceited cuss in the world. Glad he ' s met his fate. They ' ll make a nice fickle pair, won ' t they? Hope she turns him down, said Jewell, enviously. She turned him down, nonchalantly replied Williams. Wha-at! Everybody looked incredulously at Williams, and then Potter said: Why, she ' s crazy. His ' old man ' owns two or three railroads. Who told you, Williams? A little bird. Where do you supjjose I got it — in the associated press dispatches? Tell us what he said, Williams, said Roberts, and they all leaned forward to get what he told them. I told you fellows I promised him not to tell about it. Aw, come off y ' r perch. Shorty. Honestly, I oughtn ' t to tell you about it, said the conscience-stricken Williams. I told him I wouldn ' t say a word. He set ' em up to mint juleps till I couldn ' t rest and played billiards all afternoon with me and paid for it all. I feel sorry for him. Come on, said Jewell, ■tell, and I ' ll help vou get your calculus. Will )-ou work out ni}- Dutch, too? Sure. ■' Well, go get me a drink of water. When these tributes had been exacted, Williams carefully filled his pipe. I say, Roberts, he continued, I ought to get half that ten dollars, you know. Come on, now, tell us, or we ' ll put you in the bath-tub, growed an expect- ant brotherhood, impatiently. All right, wait till I drink this water. Wish I had another mint julep. Honest, Bill, I don ' t think you ought to take that money from Pet. You only put up twenty-five cents against it, any way. I ' d like to bet him ten myself, said Jewell. He makes me tired. Hurrv up there and get busv with your story. You will have me tell it — the lie is on -our heads — here goes. I was down on the square waiting for a car and Preston got off of a South Ninth car, and as he passed me said, ' Hello, Dolly. ' Then he blushed and started to sing, ' Good by, Dolly Gray, ' just as if he had been saying that all along. But I guyed him until he promised he ' d confess if I would never breathe a word about it, and I said ves ' m, I wouldn ' t, so he took me up to the Lahr House and set ' em up and then told me about it. He said he started in by calling on her about three times a week. Said he plaved Johnny Wise for a long time and had not mentioned goo goo eves and love, but took her a box of chocolates from Frombaugh ' s and wore his Panama every call. Said he sat so she could see his profile and his swell patent leathers. This went along smoothly for quite a while, but the first thing he knew he was head over heels in love with her. Then he worked the game differentl}- and after a while, when he thought he had her dead, he piped her about his heart ' s inmost desires. But no; she turned him down cold. Worked the dodge about not going to get married at all. Said she had great respect for him and hoped this little occurrence wouldn ' t spoil their friendship and all that kind of talk. Of course it took his breath at first, for he expected her to fall in his arms and say ' I ' m your Dolly. ' When he got his second wind he w ent at her harder than before, but she gave him the marble heart right. Said he was pre- sumptuous. She must have been next to the game. Wow! Here comes Pet now. Remember, you ' re not supposed to know this. The first fellow that laughs at him I ' ll soak with this glass. Talk about something else. Preston came in, faultlessly dressed, tossed a late magazine on the bed, went to the mirror and brushed back a lock of hair fmaginarily astray, and calmly walked out. without having said a word. He appeared perfectly composed; every other man in the room was engaged in biting his tongue to keep back a howl of laughter. .As the door closed a breath of relief was audible. Thev listened until his footsteps died away down the hall. He ' s game, asserted Dixon. He ' s all right, added Williams, remorsefullv; he ' s game enough to renew the bet. Like to see him try it, said Jewell. I ' ve got a ten-spot that I wouldn ' t like to light a cigar with. Here he comes back. I ' ll try him. Get under the bed. Williams; he didn ' t see you before. Williams slid under the bed and Preston entered. Why don ' t you fellows swipe all the ink in the house? said Preston, crossly, as he selected a bottle of ink from Jackson ' s table. I haven ' t got your ink, ' Grouchy, ' said Jewell. Suppose vou got the icy mitt and are trying to blame it on the ink. No; didn ' t get the icv mitt, rej lied Preston, with a stealthy look of sus- picion around the room. Every one was engaged in reading except Jewell. Well, if you haven ' t, you will get it before June. That little lady ' s too smooth for you, son. What now, fishing for a bet? said Preston. Well, I ' m not taking any bluffs, retorted Jewell. About five cents — is that your size? Here ' s ten large, juicy, tin, simoleons, said Jewell, carelessly. Don ' t suppose you want to make it twent ? With great pleasure. Pet. Lend me ten. Bill. All right, said Roberts, but it is all I ' ve got. Vou fellows are warm members, aren ' t you. Better look out or you ' ll have to walk home. Here you are; hold the stakes. Bill. Certainly, J. Pierpont, what are the conditions? That I ' m not engaged June 1st, said Preston. And that you are engaged before that time, too, put in Jewell, and to Dolly Ayers, too. All right. Preston walked out, Williams got out from under the bed, and the supper- bell rang. They were at the table nearly half an hour before Preston came down, dressed in a new suit, carrying a suit-case and a cane. W ' here are you going? Give my love to Dolly, So long, were the expressions that greeted him. Here ' s a place. Come sit down, said Williams. No, thanks; I ' ll not eat here. I came down to tell you fellows good by. By Jove, I ' m sorry to leave you, but school will be out in a couple of weeks any way. Doc Stone said he would give me my diploma, so I have nothing to worry about. I suppose Williams told you. You might congratulate me, he continued, as all gazed speechlessly at him. No one spoke a word, and Preston shifted his feet uneasily. ' He ' s bughouse, volunteered little Dixon, solemnly. Speak up. Nutty. What ' s the game? said Jewell. How much do you want to borrow, added Clark. Better not have put up that twenty. I ' ve got sixteen cents.

We ' re going to Europe on our — Williams had walked to convenient distance of the door, and was facing the table. The eyes of every one followed Preston to the car, and then all turned to Williams. I thought you said — began Jewell. I said I promised him I wouldn ' t tell, replied Williams, doggedlv. Well, I win my twenty, anyway, said Jewell, triumphantly. Not much 3-ou don ' t, Sheeny. He ' ll not be engaged by June; he ' ll be married. At this juncture a banana sailed with malice intent at the head of Williams. but the latter eluded it and in three jumps was at the top of the stairs where he gave vent to one long peal of idiotic yells and laughter. Everv one sat down again at the table, not knowing what to say, but the silence was broken bv a falsetto voice up on the roof of the house which illy con- cealed Williams ' s basso profundo: Oh, Jewell, Jewell!

He is a bold man who will violate one of them — a bold, bad man. A school is also known bv its work. Purdue is known for her engineers and tank fights. A student comes to Purdue to study engineering: he remains to fight at the tank — verv often he does not remain very long. But while he is here he works hard and fast, he fights hard and fast, and when he is fired he is fired hard and fast. So that whether he suc- ceeds or fails he does a good job of it. The class of 1903 succeeded, although 1902 and 1904 fought hard and lost hard. It may have been the Kismet in the Eternal Plan; it nia - have been innate superiority; we don ' t explain; we point to results. On the night of September 17, 1899, a few members of Naughtv Three deco- rated the tank with the numerals that made tank fighting famous. We were fresh- men then. On the twentieth the sophomores. Naughty Two, donned their war- paint, painted the tank, and captured a few freshmen. They tied them to trees and danced around them with a vim that would have put to shame the historic waltzes of Tecumseh ' s days. The following night occurred the largest and hardest fought battle ever engaged in at Purdue. Profiting by our experience of the preceding night we were prepared for the sophs. The classes came together just north of North Street on Grant. Never before had such class spirit been shown, never before had there been more determination than was exhibited in that fight. After two hours of solid fighting the banner of Naughty Three waved exultant and the tank was painted without molestation. At this time all but twenty feet of the ladder on the tank was removed. September 2Sth, Naughty Two painted the tank, removed the remaining fragment of the ladder, and felt secure, thinking no freshman would have the temerity to scale the perpendicular height above the cold, hard rocks at its foot. They reckoned badly. On the Friday night preceding the Fateful Day a select committee of freshmen, consisting of Hill, Hickman, Joy, and Boughton stole awav to the hill, and with a few silent prayers and prophecies, and with a little white paint inscribed ' 03 to greet the new day. Imagine the chagrin of the soplis wlicn the transformation was noticed. It was their onlv excuse for violating the first Law of the Tank which they did in spirit if not in fact, sending a part of their class to repaint it in the daytime. They were driven away, however, seven of thcni captured, tied up and photographed. ( Knd of the first half.) Entering upon our sophomore year in the fall of 1900, we found an aggrega- tion of freshmen that promised great things. No foot-ball squad ever received such coaching as was lavished upon this unvvieldly mob by General Cleary, yet tlie - pro ed to be woefully devoid of res[)ect for traditions, as ' 02 had been. September 12, 1900, witnessed the vaudeville number of the program, opening the season. The freshmen (1904) congregated in the early evening to the number of sixty-five in the neighborhood of the tank. A selected band of sophomores, numbering twenty-seven, gathered in the shade of the trees near the tank and made a direct charge upon the nonjjlussed freshmen. All but about twenty of them fled. Every ravine leading to Ha[)p3 ' Hollow showed the pathways of retreat to the disorganized freshmen who in their hasty evacuation trampled under foot every- thing from goldenrod to sassafras brush. Early the next evening ' 04 again went to the tank and built a large bonfire. While they were basking in its warmth the sophomores appeared, led by Ruby, Cornell, Fink, and Ide, all experienced leaders of the previous year ' s famous warriors. General Cleary, ' 02, was the leader of the Naughty Fours, and his admonition to Stay with the Tank was carried out to the letter b} ' those trusting freshmen. It was only a question of time until all those who had not fled were securely bound and the day (night) was ours. Sixty-five of the luckless, hatless freshmen were marched over to Lafayette, where the}- were treated to the best mineral water the city affords, by their gener- ous captors Here the faculty took a hand, declared a truce, caused a large P. U. to replace the class numerals; but our friends, the seniors, in order to have hostilities renewed, replaced the P. U. with a 01. In the face of faculty interference this a])parent breach was legitimate. On the Friday before the Great Day the freshmen painted the tank in the early evening and retired. But the Strategy Board of ' 03 delegated Hill, Adams, Henley, Hickman, Ewing, Moss, McCreight, and Cornell to see that ' 04 never saw the light of day. In a drenching rain they went to the tank and found there a 4 where 3 ought to be. No attempt was made to replace the 4, for it was seen that the elements were in league with us and the fresh paint was speedily washed off, leaving ' 03 to smile forth upon Stuart Field when the whistle blew for the first game. Up to this time ' 04 had never seen daylight. Three weeks afterward, in order to see how it would look, ' 04 [)ainted the tank antl immediately thereafter a class meeting was called and resolutions of thanks to the jiainters were passed. A guilty conscience caused them to think the sophomores would paint the tank for the Thanksgiving game, and the night before that game tlicv accordingly watched the houses where Hill, Cornell, and Ruby roomed. Poor deluded freshmen. How thev must have enjoved that fruitless viyil when the mercury was hovering around zero, and thev began to realize that thev would have to tell their classmates that their suspicions had been unfounded. For a diversion, and since ' 04 had no legal right on the tank, on the night before the local field-day in 1901, Fink, Hickman, Constable. Dietz, Chisholm and Laughner painted the tank, and it was the following day that Shorthorn John- son and several others of that great freshman class consumed five hours in THE DAYTIME in painting the tank. The most regrettable feature of the episode was that the balance of that class sanctioned the action. Thus closed our tank scrapping davs: two years of victory — a unique record. Elbow Fingerson.

Historian History of the Class of N a u gh t y - T h r e e While it is the custom, I observe, of other class historians to exao-gerate the abilities and attainments of their class, it is a great delight to me that, in writing the history of the class of Naughtj ' -Three, I can exercise extreme modesty. The simple truth in regard to this class, told in a straightforward manner, seems almost like a fairy tale. In taking a retrospective view of these four years and observing the part taken in the 1 history of Purdue University during that time by the class of Naughty-Three, it is alarming to contemplate I the ]jitiable condition of the University had it not been for this class. This assertion requires no proof, the class is willing to admit it. But, as coming generations mav i]uestion these facts, it will be well, perhaps, to record them. In our Freshman year we were victors in athletics PuF.s. Crane over the Sophomores, we organized the band which is to-day the pride of the universit)-, we won the tank scrap with unprecedented ease and in the Varsity football squad there were ten of our men, si.x of whom became wearers of the P. The ability of the class is further illustrated by the fact that in the first three months we had three Presidents, which demonstrated that every member of the class was capable of any position within the gift of the University. In our Sophomore year we were champions over all classes in football contests. We won again in the tank scrap, being the first and only class that ever retained its numerals on the tank for two years. In the inter-class track meet we won a signal victor ' over all classes. The celebrated Ferry scrap of this year was one of the most successful events in our history. It not only developed the fact that our class possessed orators that in comparison with any efforts of Daniel Webster or Patrick Henry would put those dignitaries back in short pants speak- ing pieces in country schoolhouscs, but demonstrated that students have rights that ])rofessors are bound to respect. In our Junior year we furnished the cajstain of the football team, captain of the baseball team, captain of the track team and captain of the basketball team. V.iich of these teams was ably sustained by a sufficient number of members from our class to place these organizations on the pinnacle of fame among athletes of the state and nation. In our Senior year, there being no further honors to win in the athletic field, the attention of our class was turned to the finer arts of literature and music. The majority of the editors and managers of the college paper, the Exponent, were members of our class. The leader of the band and the manager of the glee club were Xau ' ' htv-Tlirec men. . o in our whole college course, either in athletics. I in scientific pursuits, or in military affairs, while the followers are composed indis- criminately of members of the student body, the leaders are invariably members j of the class of Naughty-Three. As George Washington is pointed to by historians as the personification of patriotism and truth, as Shakespeare is the fountain head of dramatic literature, as Pytha roras is the chief propounder of higher mathematics, as Beethoven is the soul of harmony, as Raphael is the master of art, so also will the class of Naughty- Three be pointed out by the faculty and by the students of the future, should truth continue to prevail, as the personification of all that is true, noble, generous and sublime.

Beloved, because here it was that all the various departments that have made this institution great had their birth. In this building is laid the scene of most of the haps and mishaps, the pains and the pleasures, the victories and the disap- pointments of the members of the class whose history the writer intends this to be. The scene opens at the beginning of the school, year of 1901. About fift) young men and two young women were gathered in the halls, most of them enter- ing college for the first time. They were for the most part strangers to each other and were possessed of that feeling of awkwardness and timidity which so often attends such situations. However, after some words of encouragement from the professors, and after the oft- repeated demands of the Seniors for the Junior yell had died out, they began to feel more at home, and ere long were fully installed as the class of 1903. The class spirit for which ' 03 has always been famous made itself felt at an early date and it was not long until a permanent organization was effected. This took place under a large tree on the campus. We were on our way from the Pharmacy Building to the Experiment Station Annex. We had been asked by the Freshman class to assist them in the coming tank scrap and we felt that in the event of a step of this kind we would have need of a class organization, and so it was; here under the maple tree we launched forth, no longer a crowd of students but a class, a unit. This unit was never broken. The class of ' 03 is proud of its record. It is a class whose name has remained fair, whose motives have been of the highest, whose efforts toward the attainment of the high ideals it has set for itself have been untiring. In the end the members can look back with pride and say that these ideals have been real- ized and that success has triumphed over the despised word flunk. In athletics the class has had its share of both victories and defeats. Our football team of 1901, considering the odds against which it had to contend, made a creditable showing. Our baseball team of 1902 won from 1902 and 1905 and was defeated by 1903. After all, it was in the classroom and laboratory that we made our greatest mark, and the standard set by the class which has been the pride of the professors will be hard to maintain by our successors. Our ambition to excel in all things has been in no place better shown than in our gift to the University. The balance room op|)Osite the main floor of the Pharmacy Building has been refitted and refurnished throughout, and our class picture on the wall will serve to tell succeed- ing classes of the love ' 03 bore for Purdue. We cannot feel too grateful to Purdue and to her earnest, zealous professors, and to her splendid spirit. We feel that our future lives have to a large extent been moulded more symmetrically and our journey rendered more pleasant and profitable by our work here and by the associations here enjoyed. And so it is with very grateful as well as with very sad hearts that we deliver into other hands the test tube and mortar, and turn to face the responsibilities of the world. The Historian.

Karchoff Marshall A History of the Junior Class Being the Usual Modest Presentation of the Limitless Accomplishments and Virtues of the ' 04 Class by a Typical Junior Three years have elapsed since the members of the class of 1904 entered this institution and gave Purdue its present supreme position among the technical schools of the West. Twice since our coming has the freshness of our campus been dulled by comparison with the overwhelming redundancy of a new assortment of freshmen. The storms of many a tank scrap have beaten on our class standard only to add fresh laurels to those already gained. The few that have failed to attain the high standard set by the remainder of the class have been dropped by the wayside, and the class now stands for the acme of sterling worth and integrity at Purdue, and is set forth by an admiring faculty as a standard for all other classes to strive for, but without hope of ever attaining its perfection. Since its beginning, not one of the actions of the Prks. lesi.ik class of 1904 has ever been open to ridicule. As Fresh- men, we labored against tremendous odds in establishing our position at the head of the student bodv; as Sophomores, we contended against still greater difificulties in successfully maintaining our lead; and now, as Juniors, with class quarrels and the like thought of only as worthy of the infantile intellects of the two lower classes, with our su[)eriority recognized by the students and the facult}-, we can turn our attention to the real purposes which have brought us here. It matters little that all the athletic teams arc captained by Juniors, that the class of ' 04 leads in membership in the Purdue Athletic Association, that a Junior, as manager of the Association, has called forth the admiration of all by the mas- terly manner in which he has brought it out of debt and has placed it on a sound financial basis. All these, as well as the supremacy of ' 04 men in both quantity and quality in all the athletic teams, are of little value except as showing the high cjuality of material of whicii the class is composed. We have now arrived at a jieriod where our organization has been developed to its highest point. We came as a disorganized body of individuals, each working independently. A cap out of projjortion to the surface which it was intended to cover, a sweater and a choice collection of Purdue ' s slang, constituted our idea of a stadent. The members of the faculty were open enemies, whose classes were to be prom|)tly cut at the expiration of a scant five minutes ' grace, thus causing them deep grief and untold agony of mind. We still cut classes, but do so more from a sense of duty than anything else, having given up the idea of its causing any uneasi- ness in the minds of instructors. We have bet un to realize that a member of the faculty is not necessarily a student ' s hereditary enemy, and that he may have a few good traits of character. We no longer believe that a minute cap tilted at an angle over a vacuum constitutes a Purdue student; a larger cap over less of a vacuum now comes nearer our ideal. We know each other and work together as a unit. We are able now to see ahead of us the time when Purdue shall suffer an irreparable loss and the high standards and traditions left for the guidance of future genera- tions will be all that is left as a remembrance of the class of 1904.

Historian 1904 Pharmacy Class History ' arriving at the gates of Purdue one will see many beautiful buildings on the left and on the right, and on closer observa- tion would see on the west side of the campus, almost wholly enveloped in the steam and smoke from the heating plant, an age-worn building, lacking in architectural beauty, which for almost a (|uarter of a centur}- has been used by the school of jharniacy. It was to this building on the thirteenth of last September, that about forty young men and women from the drug stores of Indiana and her sister states came to learn how to sell postage stamps to the greatest possible profit, and to receive instruction in the art of mixing soda water and concocting other strong drinks. We were met by Professor Hoak in the ofifice, where we received blanks on which to register our pedigrees. Then we were sent to the Secretary ' s office to deposit that wad for which many of us had worked so hard and to which we had become much attached. At noon we found the Seniors gathered in the hall and we were promptly given the name of Measly Juniors by the wise heads of that class. They gave their class yell and then began to call for the Junior yell, being sure we had no yell and would not have had the courage to give one, any way. By this time some of the class began to show signs of homesickness. But the) ' soon forgot this, as their minds were taken up learning symbols, bonds, for- mulae of acids, chemistry rules, balancing of equations, etc. And it did seem as though we never would master these graphic formula; of Pap ' s, for they seemed to grow larger and more terrible. There is one thing which we will not forget (for it will rankle in the heart of every ' 04 Pharmic as long as he lives). After we had been in school some time we succeeded in compounding a class yell and determined to inflict it upon the Seniors as soon as possible. Through some unaccountable manner the Seniors secured a copy of it and, much to our dismay, they gave it for us. This naturally aroused our class spirit and we soon had another yell (much better than the first), which the old building has re-echoed many times. When wc return next year we will try to obtain sweet revenge. And now at the close of our Junior year, after many various experiences both in the laboratory and in the classroom (where some have learned the practical use of the word flunk ), we can certainly say that we have not labored in vain. The Historian is sure that our kind professors will agree with him when he says that after the class of 1904 will have finished their school work, they will long be re- membered by their brilliant work during the Junior year.

Ritter Historian i_ - History of the Sophomore Class W ' c row, not drift. Never was a class motto more apjiropriately chosen than this one. It expresses exactl} the record of the ' 05 class since its entrance ®into Old Purdue. Boasting and vain-glor}- are not necessary to verify the truth of this statement, as the old adage, facts speak for themselves, bears the his- torian out in this claim. While the class has ever been famed for its organi- zation and class spirit, everything else has been made subordinate to loyality to the University. In football, baseball, basketball and track athletics, the ' 05 class has ever been prominent. In the spring of 1902 the base- ball team was greatly weakened by the loss of a majority of the previous year ' s players, but such a wealth of material was developed from the ranks of the ' 05 class the vacancies on the team were quickly filled, and a Fkes. .millkk successful season was the result. The class was also well represented on the track team, one of its members breaking the state record in the mile run. But while mentioning the part ' 05 men have taken in Purdue ' s athletics, its class teams must not be forgotten. The baseball team last spring held its own with honor incontests with other class teams, and last fall the football team rendered a good account of itself, the only regret being that the tie game with the Freshmen was not a victory. But we can afford to be generous and accord to the Freshmen the satisfaction of a tie game, as a balm to their troubled spirits. To go back to the eventful occurrences of last fall. Back came the class from its summer experiences looking for new fields to conquer, and what fruitful fields they were! Long before their coming to Purdue the Freshmen had heard of the prowess of the ' 05 class, and they knew it was a foregone conclusion that their misdirected efforts to put their numerals on the tank would meet with inglorious defeat. They did. Soon after their arrival in LaFayette they assembled their weak-kneed and trembling hosts one night and silently as ghosts stole out to the tank. After her- culean efforts they finally placed ' 06 on the tank. Then they gave a yell or two and sought their trundle beds to dream of their mighty deeds of valor. But when Old -Sol appeared the next morning ' 05 blazed forth from the iron sides of the old landmark. In this way, thoroughl) ' convincing the Freshmen how futile their at- tempts would result, the Sophs allowed the Freshmen numerals to remain on the tank when it was placed up there again, until just before the first big scrap. When the momentous night arrived the Sophomores marched to the tank and awaited the coming of the Freshmen. The heavy rain that fell could not drive ' 05 from the field. When finally the Freshmen came up the road they found the Sophs, grim and silent, ready for the attack. Urged on by the Juniors, the Fresh- men rushed to their fate. In the twinkling of an eye the ground was covered with the prostrate forms of bound Freshmen. The victory was short and decisive. In the early morning light the captives were led back to the west side, all attached to a long rope so that no Freshman might feel lonesome for lack of company. But this scrap pales into insignificance before the events of the following night. The Freshmen, realizing that this was their last chance, made frantic efforts to pre- pare for the struggle. Collecting their forces they marched to the tank in the early morning and awaited the arrival of the martial Sophs, keeping their courage up to the sticking point by frequently repeating their yell. With the confidence of vic- tory, the Sophs suddenly precipitated themselves upon the unsuspecting Freshmen, and the Freshmen withered as weeds before a farmer ' s scythe. Each captured Freshman was carried to the Sophomore camp and there securely padlocked to a strong chain. The scrap was soon over with, the Freshmen wondering how it all happened. The next morning the cavalcade, headed by their president pro tetn., started for LaFayette under guard of the Sophomores. Even as the Roman emperors were wont to exhibit their captives in their triumphal processions, so were the Freshmen led captive through the streets of LaFayette by the Sophomores. After the season of tank scraps, events pursued the even tenor of their ways until balmy spring gave signs of its approach. Then it was that the Sophomores felt the need of satisfying the inner man, in order that the ravages of approaching spring fever might be counteracted in advance. A banquet was held in Columbian Hall. The Freshmen not being invited to attend the function, they decided to show their displeasure by attending in a body. Inside the hall the banquet was going merrily on, while outside two of LaFayette ' s bravest kept guard. It was the quiet before the the storm. A wild ell, a shower of stones and the Freshmen stormed the hall. The two bravest were tossed about like chaff in the wind and the Freshmen soon brought battering rams to play against the doors of the hall. These were battered down, but to no avail, for no Freshman could gain access to the hall in the face of the invincible defense of the Sophomores. Then came a lull in the attack, then a second onslaught. Once again the Freshmen were repulsed at all points. Seeing their attacks availed them nothing, the Freshmen were ready to cry quits when LaFayette ' s bravest were reinforced by the fire department. Then back to the west side, pell mell, went the defeated Freshmen, sore in mind and body, while the Sophomores attacked the remaining courses of their inter- rupted feast with an increasing appetite due to their gallant defense of the hall. All things considered, the class has experienced almost all of the phases of University life and no doubt will continue to make history for itself after these words have been written. Historian.

Sergeaiit-at-Arnis JmM History of the Freshman Class As the cycles of time pass into eternity it becomes moie evident that each brintrs a period of calamity and gloom. Great disasters, wretched failures, wars, famine and pestilence follow m rapid succession until humanity stands aghast at the ruin. The Powers of Darkness labor to bring forth Chaos and, in the final attempt, produce some abortive imp of despair. But after the darkness comes the gleam of the dawn of hope and promise, when Nature max again resign herself to peace and progress. So, in the light of recent history, great nations have been involved in dis-graceful wars, cities have been blotted out bv storms and volcanic upheavals, famine and jjestilence have swooped down upon the unfortunate, and Darkness, in her final throe, has brought forth the class of Nineteen Five. Now comes the change — adown i ' KE . Ki siEKHi.L the sad vista of Nature ' s despair come the auroral flashes which herald the rise of the glorious Class of Nineteen Si.x. From the beginning of its career this class has set a new standard of excel- lence in all things. It outyelled all competitors in the first chapel exercises, snored most loudly in Mikeology, secured the most A ' s in recitations, made the most staves at Cooperage, rode the best in the cavalry, turned out in the greatest numbers to all athletic, university and class functions — in fact. ' 06 has proven a most powerful factor in university life. Hardly had the men registered in the fall and begun to investigate their envi- ronment when they discovered an unsightly blot of paint smeared over the histor- ical water tank. On inquiry it was learned that perhaps the Sophomores would fight to keep these numerals up, so about half of the Freshmen went out to teach the Sophs how to scrap and to replace the symbol of enervation with the one of progress. But it was found that we had gone out in too great numbers, that ' 05 would not fight unless in the majority ; so ' 06 was placed on high and guarded until morning. The next day the Sophs were discovered sneaking tankward loaded with ropes and paint. They were promptly unloaded and tied to For Sale signs throughout the city. In the next clash the Freshnien went out in smaller numbers, hoping thereby to tempt the Sophs into battle. The Sophs, finding themselves much in the majority, decided to stand their ground. The rush lasted half an hour before it was lost. The night before the first football game, ' 06 sent out a handful of men to bait ' 05 from the tank. The stratagem worked well, and, as the two hundred Sophs led their small capture to the city, other Freshmen painted the tank and guarded it until school work began ; ' 05, however, contrary to all precedent, went out during recitation hours and again changed the numerals. These were allowed to remain until just before the Thanksgiving game, when the Freshmen made the final change, and on this day our numerals still illumine the landscape. In the Freshman-Sophomore football game we plainly demonstrated our superiority when pitted man to man. There were seventeen Freshmen on the Varsity football squad ; we are represented on the All-Indiana football team ; the Vice-President of the Athletic Association is a Freshman. And so we march on, self-reliant and progressive. Each day realizes some old ideal, each day creating some new one. And now, with success looming on the horizon, with every step right and forward, we hum the refrain of our song: Brightest Stars of Old Purdue, Bully for Old Purdue.

In a short time nearl} Ever -body thought he was All the Money. He had original ways of teaching Geometry and told the Freshmen his way was the Best, and as he offered to give them Individual In- struction free, and alwaj s shook hands with them at Christ- mas Time, they believed Him. He always made his reports to the office on time, and Doc. Stone finally Thought he must surely be the Original Organizer, so that the Next Year the Faculty had him elected Registrar. This was the Turning Point in His Life. His first Endeavor was to place each Student in the Classes most Inconve- nient to Him. Next he wrote 786 Call at the Office Notices and sent them to Students. Then he had a Lot of new Rubber Stamps made and placed in a new Rack and gave Instructions to Miss Irwin that they be Used in Rotation. The first was Excused, then came Not Excused, Call at the Office, and Referred to Instructor. The last named was to be used only for Absences from Professor Michael ' s classes. Then he continued to Tear Down his Popularity Castle. He would not Speak to a Student farther away than Two Blocks, he Got Bluebeard ' s Badge and Raided a Gambling Joint on the West Side and Raised Cain, and he Talked Cross in his Class Room. A Member of the Y. M. C. A. Applied for an Excuse for the Third Hour Monday on Account of Typhoid Fever, another wanted to be Excused all Day Friday on account of Writing Home for Money. They were Not Excused. This was where he struck the down grade right. The Students Rose Up and called him Names Behind His Back, Prof. Hatt said he Quibbled too much Over Red Tape, Professor Michael returned post 25Q liaste to him a Terrified Fresliman who Bore an Excuse Blank with the Legend Referred to Instructor upon It, with the Advice that He (Michael) wanted Mister Kinyon to Understand that He (Michael) was not the Ixcusing Officer. Thus he got Mixed up with all Hands. Then he Woke Up and had the Faculty make a Rule to Give a Student Zero if he was Absent from a Class without an Excuse and Zero if he got an Excuse, Zero if he went out of Town without a Leave of Absence and Zero if he Got the Leave of Absence. He thought in this way to Divert the Wave of Wrath and Regain his Popularity. Up to Vet he has not done it. Moral: Shoemaker, stick to your last. OH!

His popularity among the students irrespective of classes, his dignified bearing, the polish and charm of his manners, his gentlemanly conversation and his utter absence of egotism, commend him to us as the most desir- able man in school. I nominate Mr. Riebel. ( ' oted in unanimously amid great applause.) M inutes of Frat Meetings S. A. E. House. The freshmen having been all corralled and locked up in the windmill tower, the meeting was called in the basement of the rural retreat. After preliminary business, Fred Hohn arose and addressed the chair. Most Eminent Head Gezabo, I wish to announce to the brothers that I have succeeded in my plan of being made manager of the Band Minstrel Show — of course I don ' t belong to the organization, but the band, having more acumen than the senior class, recognized my ability in a managerial line, practicallv forcing the jjlace upon me. This is a very great honor. Brother Hohn, and we are proud of you. It is too bad, however, that you could not hold every office in school, such as your talent deserves, but possibly a few concessions of the minor offices will keep the rest of the school satisfied and you will not miss them. Mr. Kuhnert is recognized. Most Worthy Head Gezabo, I wish to tell the brothers that Brother Ross Thomas actuallv got a carriage and took a girl to the senior Pan Hellenic. I am very pleased to learn this, Brother Kuhnert. I am sure it is an unex- pected surprise to us, and I am sure it must have been to the young ladies who have been used to making trades with their escorts to get to dance with Ross. I know we don ' t have to currv favor with the girls in the city — we are so contented and have such a good time amongst ourselves out here — yet an occasional call or a carriage to a dance will let them know we still exist out here. Suddenly Cal Smith discovered the freshmen sliding down the lightning-rod, so the meeting was adjourned to recapture them and set them to work washing dishes and blacking shoes.

After routine work, Mr. Bartholomew gets the floor. Mr. President, as Purveyor of the Frat, I wish to report again on our crowded condition. Some of the brothers who have to eat at the third table and sleep three in a bed are growing restless. I don ' t know what we can do to remedy this state of affairs during the present year, but suggest that we send notices to all the papers, that we intend filing papers of incorporation for the pur- pose of building another still larger chapter house to have thirty-six bedrooms and accommodations for seventy-five, and maybe then we can catch another sucker with money and rent a second supplementary house. That is a very good idea, Brother Bartholomew. We will discuss it later. Anything else? But at this point Colonel Bowser and Bones Middleton went out to take some- thing, the clock held up its hands in horror, and the minutes stopped. Phi Kappa Psi House. Great excitement prevailed at the lodge. The presiding officer had issued a call for a regular meeting, and the various members were hunting for the secre- tary ' s book, in order to find out their proper places. When it was finally found, and the various brothers had adjusted themselves, the meeting was called to order, and after preliminary business had been passed, the president addressed the chapter as follows: Brothers, I am sorry that all this excitement has been necessary, but the matter coming up for discussion is urgent and can be delayed no longer. It is in regard to the purchase of a new Bible. Our old one, bought last fall, has been worn out by constant usage, and last night during prayer service the back dropped completely off. I think it well to. authorize the treasurer to purchase a new one. The motion was carried without a dissenting vote. Hornbrook arose and addressed the meeting: Brothers, there is another thing to which it would be well to pay attention. The time for the election of officers for the Y. M. C. A. is approaching, and we cannot afford again to let these offices, the most important and significant, slip away from us. Two years ago Phi Psi and Y. M. C. A. were synonomous, but last year we were not careful and the offices were obtained by others. Mother Dietz and Sister Young are no longer here to help us, but I would suggest that we imme- diately hold a caucus and choose the men we wish, and begin electioneering. This was about to be done when Kid Henley hit his finger with the gavel, and exploded a damn, and the meeting immediately resolved itself into a committee of the whole to reprimand Henley.

But 1 was such a Freshie, alas and O ! alack ! I sent the token to jier with the price mark on the hack. Her name was A. Mae Rinswalt, but she told me just the same, That she sorter liked McCoMnell, ' twas such a pretty name. The valentine did the work, as valentines only can : She was married the next April — but to another man. .And now I am a Senior, heart whole and fancy free, I can not find a maiden who will share my lot with me. Exjjerience teaches best of all, and this advice is mine : Always rub the price mark oft when you send a valentine I My days at Purdue are over, •■nd 1 must sit and mourn. For of all sweet love affairs My experience has been shorn. I came down here with intentions To inveigle by winning ways Some man— just any old kind — To enliven the rest of my days. But now the four years are over And not a prospect have I, And when my folks hear about it They ' ll sit them down and cry. I have a lot of accomplishments, I can goo-goo with one eye. How hard I ' ve tried these last three years. You all can te stify. So if, in years to come, dear friends. You find some sort of a man Who wants just any old kind of a girl.

Yes, I was on the track tea — What! Sir, I tell you this is the rankest impertinence. Back to Chicago, young man! The civil course is not a good course for an athlete to take! (Exit Rice.) Garman, if a man ever enters this door with a calf on his leg any larger than the round of that chair there, lead him around and have him tell Mike he ' s a liar. Yes, sir. The Man Wittiout a Country It was twilight on the campus. A haggard creature slunk out of a covert in the evergreens and stole away in the gathering gloom in the direction of Snoddy- ville. A stray student suddenly turned the corner and came whistling down the street. At sight of him the hunted desperate stopped as if at bay, but wavered and with the terror visible in its soul turned with a low cr- - of fear and fairlv flew to the sheltering shadows of the darkened Gym. There it hovered till the boom- ing bells tolled midnight and once more, carefully, stealthily, with every muscle tense and every nerve strained to the utmost, it crept out. Hunger was written on its countenance, unspeakable fear every movement betrayed. Listening, going forward a little, scouting and repeating it, it advanced. Suddenly the aroma of a bone smote upon its famished nostrils, and it darted forward utterly insensible to danger and forgetful of its misery. So absorbed was it that a party of carousing students came swaggering up the street with wild, ululating yells of drunken glee until they were upon it unawares, when with shouts of demoniacal mischief they surrounded it. Guns and knives were drawn, and the cornered wretch prepared to sell his life dearly. But, hark! A student hissed: Run, quick! Two profs, coming. Heeding the warning, the students, thoroughly sobered, dispersed in every direc- tion, allowing the tormented quarry — the last survivor of the ' 02 Insignia Board — to escape.

Young arose and was recognized. I wish to inform the brothers that I am in receipt of a letter from Brother Call, who graduated last year, sa3nng that beginning with next month he will resume the payment of the allowance for the maintenance of the chapter. He states that he is very sorry that it was necessary for him to discontinue this allow- ance, but he was obliged to do so on account of heavy expenses incident to his recent marriage. Such letters, said the president, are very gratifying. They show what an interest our alumni take in us, and the spirit that has made us the leaders in every- thing (!) in school. Brother Collier? Collier: I wish to report, Brother President, that we succeeded in electing Brother Knapp captain of the basket-ball team to remove the possibility of his not making the team next year. That is a wise political move. Brother Collier. Hartley arose. I wish to put a matter before the brothers that has been in my mind ever since the U. N. A. was refilled, about two weeks ago, and that is in regard to these interfraternities. They breed a spirit of superiority among their members and a soreheadedness among others, and this state of affairs should not exist. I move that we ordain that none of our brothers be allowed to join. Objections from three and motion was laid on table. The President: Before we adjourn, I wish to say that when you are out to-night, keep j ' our eyes open for prosperous looking men. We can ' t afford to let Brother Call do all the work. This is a Specimen of My Penmanship Pansy insisted on penmanship exercises, i.e., copying standard contracts from his dictation for three hours at a time. He graded simply on penmanship and spelling. Fisher got his paper back one day with six square inches of hiero- glyphics thereon. He asked Prof, for explanation. What is the meaning of this, Professor? Hmm! I shall read: ' You must learn to write so that others besides your- self can read. A good legible hand is an absolute necessity to your future success. ' Fisher went away enlightened. AFTER THE 1, l GAME All Over The Patron Saint of the A. O. D. D. returned to His Sulphuric Majesty. Wearily he sat him down My commission is ended, Sire. The execrable scientist hath made a workshop of my hydraulic castle. The companionship of Bill Hull and Tom Cleary I have no more. The exquisite howl- ings of entrapped freshmen, the jovs of initiations, the ecstasy of wild midnight revelry, the rapturous bliss of sending flunks back to the plow; along with the vile dig, dig, digging and the work, work, working, is all over. It is done, my lord. ' Tis well, spake His Majesty. Thou art promoted to the Sixth Redu- cing F urnace, fifth door, seventh aisle to the right. Avaunt!

I Reimann, Curd, Lloyd Lucas, Peck, Collier and Vivo accept his invitation.) Hello! Hello! Is this the office of tlie Debris ? Yes, who is this talking ? This is Deac. Reisner. Yes, Mr. Reisner, what can I do for you ? I would like to know how I am coming along in my race as the most popular man in the class. You must give me that honor in the statistics, you know, because the fellows turned me down when I ran for class president. Also say that I am the yell leader of the class, and anything else nice you can think. I want to make a good impression on the Indianapolis people, and if you give me a swell write up I ' ll take several cojiies of the book. Keep this on the quiet, though. All right, Reisner. Is that all ? Good-bye. Soph— Did you hear about it? Fresh.- No, what, Soph. — Vehslage caught cold in his knees. Fresh. — Does he know about it yet? Soph. — Yes, Shorty Eckhouse told him. P om the Indiana Arbutus Calendar: Ryman coming from Bundy ' s, argues the superiority of fried f ies over baked ones.

Opie Gets Another A Scene: Professor Evans ' s lecture-room. Time: After a lecture. Opie slowly approaches Percy with that characteristic hypnotic gleam in his eve. ■' What is my grade, dear, kind, good Mr. Professor? Let ' s see. You have a 65, a 38, a 47, and a 45. That gives -ou an aver- age of 47.5 per cent. Professor, Professor, is it possible! Are -ou a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon ' - ' No? Well, you know. Professor, I just must have an A out of this term ' s work. Well, now, Mr. Smith, I don ' t see how I can do it. By the way. Professor, aren ' t you a member of Tau Beta Pi? No? there Opie fixes that terrible eye on Percy and scarcely audibly murmurs, Now you are giving me an A, an A, an A, you can ' t help it, etc. {Aloud to Percy) And you are not a Mason, you sa} ? No? {Under his brcatli) Ye gods! what shall I do? {Continuing to himself) You are giving me an A, an A, an A, it ' s coming, etc. But say, dear, kind, handsome Professor, don ' t you real!}- know that 47.5 is an A, after all? Don ' t? Now, it is this wa}-. I got an A in math. I am a straight A man, you know, and must have this A. Suppose vou let 47.5 per cent be represented by X. I am related to the best families of Virginia, you know.

Were vou ever hypnotized, Professor. Let ine try my hand on you. A strong, lovely, wonderful genius like yourself would make an excellent subject. But, by the way, am I not entitled to an A; I demonstrated it mathematically to you? No? Ar e you a member of the Grand Order of Hoo-Hoos? No? I know thirty-six different grips. Professor. Don ' t you belong to anything? (despairingly.) No, Mr. Smith, I don ' t believe I can give you an A. You must be a K. of P.. Professor (showing his pin), or a member of the Purdue Athletic Association (disijlaying his button). No? Aren ' t you a Modern Woodman, a Red Man, an Odd Fellow, a — (aside, ecstatically, I have it! i Oh! Professor (emotionally), aren ' t you a fellow-member of the Order of Asses — Percy (at last falling upon Opie ' s manly bosom), Yes, brother, you guessed right the very last time. Here ' s your A. What ' s the Ansv er? Skillet is a Genius. He has a first mortgage on the ' 04 class and a lieu on everything else around the University. We who are jealous of his successes in a political way try to make capital out of his mistakes and find ourselves put immediately on the defensive. He was a bum football player and a worse trainer, yet he was elected captain of the team. We thought, fondly, that that would cook his goose, but it didn ' t. In the face of that and class prejudice he was elected captain of the baseball team on which he had not been the best player by a long shot, nor the oldest. Did that fix his clock? Yes — for about fifteen minutes and then he was bigger than ever. He was elected president of his class in his freshman year and 03 licked the tar out of ' 04 that year. Did it queer Skillet? Well, no, not exactly; he was elected president the next year unanimously. In that year ' 04 had diplomatic business to perform which required great skill and tact. Skillet was the head goat. He talks like a farmer. He says : I seen my duty and done it, He ain ' t got nothing, and the like. Was that his finish? Well, not so you could notice it. His class elected him president again and we expect to see him as president of the senior class next year, leading the cotillon in a sweater and a stiff Katy, and possibly leader of the glee club, too. If Mark Hanna would form a combine with Skillet, Landsdowne and Jnhn Hay would have to take to the tall grass. We wonder how Skillet does it. The following bill for china sent to Miss Mae Guest shows the sentimental tendencies of the art department : 1 loving cup 3 heart shaped trays 2 spoon holders The Tale of November 15, 1902 I. U. came up six hundred strong. Said it would not be long ' fore they scored Becau ' e they had already won three games, counting the last one (P. U. 6, 1. U. ?) The thought of it made them forget the games before the three, so long ago (As a matter of history those scores were 14-0, 20-6, 6-0, 64-6, 60-0, 60-0) They couldn ' t even remember the indoor track meet (N. D. 6.s, P- U. 32, I. U. 9) Nor the State Intercollegiate meet at Terre Haute (P. U. 58, N. D. 35, I. U. 35) Nor the dual track meet held on Stuart Field (Purdue 84, Indiana 36) Nor the first basketball game played at Bloomington (P. U. 32, I. U. 8) Nor the second basketball game played at LaFayette (P. U. 71, I. U. 25) Nor the first baseball game played at LaFayette (P. U. 10, I. U. 4) Nor the second game played at Bloomington (P. U. 9, I. U. 4) Could not remember anything else but the tennis tournament They, said when they scored they ' d march around the track They cheered when Clev kicked off and Hohn was downed Skillet went 60 yards and their yell stopped — so: (.) But the umpire said Knapp held, and I. U. got the ball They hit the line but stuck like a stick in the mud Then Purdue ' s backs pounded the I. U. line to pieces And Dutch Riebel went over for a touchdown (5-0) But we didn ' t see anybody march around the track Jones was an easy mark and was soon on Queer St. As a consequence another touchdown was made And the score at the end of the half was ii-o Whtn the time was called for the second half Indiana ' s red-headed guard with the bad eye Commenced to lead a very strenuous life And another touchdown resulted. Score i6-o But Indiana didn ' t march around the track They were too busy looking at the score Which the scorer soon marked up as 22-0 It looked shameful to take the money They were so easy we almost forgot The old, old man who accidentally Tripped McCann at Bloomington When we next saw the score board They had marked up P. U. 28, I.
