QGQGQ This the first volume of the HELIAN'l'HUS comes before the Washburn public, the humble offering of the class of '96, We realize that there are many faults in the volume and that it may seem to some to fall short of what it might be, but a start has been made, and if a foundation has been laid which can be made use of by coming classes in building up work which shall bea credit and an honor to Alma Maier, we will con- sider that our Hunks and sleepless nights and premature gray hairs have not been altogether in vain, even though the book may not fulfill the expectations of some and the desires of ourselves. We would offer our most grateful acknowledgements for the almost universal hearty support we have received from Faculty, Students, and Alumni. We have even heard it rumored that in one of the lower classes a resolution was introduced that each member of the class bring his time, his talents, his purse, and his all, and lay them on the altar of the HELIANTHUS. Though such action, perhaps, was not formally taken by all the classes, yet it seems to have been the spirit that all have acted under, and we would return our thanks. Trusting that our work may be as leniently judged as it has been heartily aided, we present the HELIANTHUS '96. ' Q THE JUNIOR CLASS. 5 1 REV. PETER NICVICAR, D.'D ilreeaihent Meter QHI1: iran. QGQOQ President McVicar has entered upon the twenty-fifth year of his presidency of this institution, and it is fitting that gt Sketch of his life though brief and inadequate, should be given to our readers. A Having been born just over the line, in the province of New Bruns- wick, he is ineligible to our national chief magistracy, but his Whole lgfe has been identified with this land of the free and home of the bravef' After graduating with honor from Beloit College in 1856, he spent a year as instructor in that institution. I-le then took a theological course at Union and Andover Seminaries, graduating from the latter in the summer of 1860. Kansas had recently been the theater of stirring events, and gave promise of rapid development, and important influence upon our national welfare. The attention of the nation was turned this way. It presented an attractive field for a young man, anxious to be of service, and willing to undergo privations. In October, 1860, Mr. McVicar.arrivcd at Topeka. The Congrega. tional Church was then pastorless, and he received and accepted a 0311, A correspondent at the time wrote to one of the religious journals of the fact, saying, We are sincerely thankful for so large an addition to our ministerial force. I-Ie continued in this position for six years, a period which included first, the disastrous drouth of 1860, and following that, four yearsiof war, in which Kansas sent a larger proportion of her men into the field than any other state in the Union, and bore on its own soil its full share of the loss and devastation of the conflict. It was a discouraging time for the upbuilding of Christian churches. Yet during those years his church made steady progress, completed its edifice and paid up its debts, thanks to the same financial ability which has stood Washburn so good a turn during later years. 7 In 1866 he resigned his pastorate, and later served two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The years of his incumbency were marked by vigor of administration. Many amendments and improve- ments of our school laws were made at his recommendation. Notably by his prompt action, involving an official visit to Washington, he saved 5oo,ooo acres of valuable land to the permanent school fund of the state which was about to be alienated to railway companies. The school funds of the state were invested in no worthless securities during his term of office, and upon his retirement there was no call for an investigation. Upon the resignation of Rev. Dr. Butterfield at the close of 1870, Mr. McVicar succeeded in February, 1871, to the presidency of Washburn College. He had been one of its original incorporators, and from the first as one of its trustees had taken a great interest in thegrowth of the struggling institution. It then occupied a small building at the corner of jackson and Tenth streets in Topeka. College Hill was a stretch of open prairie, with only a few straggling houses between it and the recently erected, and porticoless east wing of the state house. The site was inno- cent of trees or human habitation. Instead of college young men and women, the brightest of the commonwealth resorting here for culture, quails and jack rabbits exclusively enjoyed its advantages. But the new president saw in his vision with the eye of faith, rising in the future the walls of a great institution, whose influence should tell on the state, and on coming generations. He at once threw himself into the realization of this vision. He canvassed the West and visited the East for funds. One after another of its commodious buildings materialized, from Science Hall the earliest, to our splendid chapel the latest of its well planned edifices. The vested funds of the institution slowly grew from 525,000 to 8IO0,000, through his personal solicitation 5 and other valuable property was secured, upon which in time the College hopes to realize. Thus twenty-five of the thirty years of Washburn's history, during which President McVicar's administration has been prolonged, has been characterized by continuous, substantial and permanent growth. While other similar institutions have been wrecked by bad management, or have succumbed to the financial stress of the times, Washburn, under the far eing and 'atchful care of its president, has never lost a dollar of its vested funds. And though sorely in need at present of endowment to . 8 meet the growing demand for enlarged facilities, yet she has marched steadily forward and upward from yearvto year. In this age and especially in this new West, and in the incipient stage of a new college, the material part of it, the business end, the uprearing of brick, stone and mortar, the meeting of obligations, the paying of bills, the securing and investment of funds, must necessarily occupy a con- spicuous place. This has been true of Washburn. But while all this has been going on, the inner and scholastic life of the institution has devel- oped, and to this the president has given great care and thought. Wash- burn from the first has stood for thoroughness. A high standard has been rigidly adhered to, although the temptation to superficiality has at times been strong. President McViear, by a process of natural selection and survival of the Httest, has drawn around him a choice body of in- structors, to whose hearty and self denying co-operation the highest credit is due. As a result the higher, or college department of the institution has been rapidly enlarging, the proportion of advanced students is increasingg and the graduating classes, for many years small, are, in num- bers, as in ability and promise, very gratifying to the friends of the College. The alumni, too,who have gone forth during the present administration and are now dispersed over the country, and in foreign lands, are a body of men and women of whom the College and its leader may well be proud. Many of them are making their mark in the various professions which they have entered, and so the institution is becoming increasingly blest in her children. This is designed to be a sketch, not of Washburn College, but of President McViear, But the life of the latter is so intimately interwoven with the growth and prosperity of the former, that it seems impossible to separate them. We can neither speak or think of one without including the other. What Washburn College is to-day is largely due to the wisdom, vigi- lance and self sacrificing devotion of our honored president during these continuous years. Sir Christopher Wren's inscription over an inner door at St. Paul's Cathedral, might well be copied upon the walls of Washburn, and applied to its faithful president, even while as yet his vr' 'k upon its not ended: Si monumwzizmz reguiris circunz.vpz'cc. 9 1894.

After graduation, Watertown, N. Y., was the scene of his labors, where he was for two years instructor in Physics and Mathematics in the high school of that city. For two years Professor Woodworth has been instructor in Mathematics at Washburn, and his hearty sympathy with the students has been shown by his interest in the athletics of the college, and in the management of the Glee Club, which has been under his directorship. . I4 CLARENCE D. GREELEY, A. M., B. D., Lecturer on Philosophy. Mr. Greeley, by birth a New Yorker, began life in Kansas as a farmer, teacher and surveyor.

Her home for the past twelve years has been in Kansas, previously to that in Wisconsin and Connecticut. The advantage to which Miss Lovewell turns her acquaintance with Washburn student-life, gained by her long continued connection with the institution, is well evidenced by the esteem in which she is held by all the students.

QDGQQQ Few institutions have a more interesting beginning than Washburn College. Like her native state, she has attained the present eminence only by hard struggles and an unwavering determination to win. In 1857, the Congregational Association in session at Topeka decided to plant a Christian college in Kansas, and appointed a committee of five, of which Col. john Ritchie was chairman, to secure a suitable location. Topeka was chosen as the home of tl1e college: for she offered one hundred and sixty acres of land near the town-site, and eight hundred and forty acres in the Territory as an endowment, together with a build- ing of stone or brick 40x50 feet, two stories high, to be completed before January I, 1860. Col. Ritchie and lVIr. I-I. D. Rice now undertook to secure the landg they tried first to obtain the George Davis farm, where the college now stands, but were unsuccessful for he was unwilling to sell. The present site of Potwin Place was next consideredg and the twenty acres where Bethany now stands were voted to the college if this location could be secured, but this was out of the questionl So nothing was done until 1859. At this time gold was discovered at Pike's Peak, and Mr. Davis, wishing to go, signified his willingness to sell his farm. But now another difficulty arose Q neither Col. Ritchie nor Mr. Rice had any ready money. But both were in earnest, and Col. Ritchie mortgaged his farm, and Mr. Rice made a trip to the east to borrow two thousand dollars, the amount required. ' I8 After a two weeks' effort he succeeded in raising one thousand dol- lars. and then, to quote from his own account, being somewhat discouraged a friend of mine suggested that I go w1th h11n to v1s1t Mrs. ' ' ' 'Y ll d M Hooker, a sister of Henry Waid Bcechei. We theiefore ca e on rs. Hooker one pleasant afternoon in May and found there Miss Catharine Beecher, Mrs. Stowe, of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' fame, Mrs. Frances Gillett and other ladies, gathered for an afternoon visit. When they learned m business, they became greatly interested in the enterprise and . , Y Immediately after this I received a line from john Hooker request1ng me ' ' b t th's ove to call at his office. When I d1d so, he wished to know a ou 1 m for a college in Kansas. I gave him the minutes of the association 'f 'I' 'lf andexplained the inducements for the location in Topeka. After con- sulting his partner, Mr. Gillett, they decided to furnish the remaining one thousand dollars. I think it was the infiuence of those women that prompted their husbands to make me the loan. But during Mr. Rice's absence the Association had met at Lawrence, and as Topeka had not fulhlled her pledge new propositions for location were called for, though Topeka protested and desired that they wait U til th ' t 'n th east be heard from. Lawrence put in a bid which n 1 e1r agen 1 Q was accepted, and the college was thus fin wordj moved to Lawrence and called Monumental College. On learning of the Lawrence proposition M1'. Rice let Col. Ritchie have the money to pay for the Davis place in case Lawrence should not fulfill her pledge. Col. Ritchie took the 82,000 draft, but here he met again with trouble. There was not money enough in Topeka to cash the draft, and it had to be taken to Leavenworth to be cashed. 1 In I86O the Association met at Topeka. Lawrence had not fulfilled her pledge, and the college was moved to Topeka and called Topeka Institute On account of the war nothing was done until 1865, when S IB I - f Maine visited Topeka, became deeply interested 1n amue ow CCI, o , the movement, and was elected first principal and financ1al agent of the ' d l'ft d 't to a realit Academy. He took up what was a meie hope an 1 e 1 y, It was then incorporated and chartered under the name of Lincoln Col- lege, and the Davis claim was deeded over. Specifications were drawn up for a building, and sealed bids advertised for, but on the appointed day not a bid was yet received on account of distrust of the financial Strength of the enterprise. Disliking to be foiled in this manner Mr. ' ' ' t d to erect for 87,000 a Ripe then made a propos1t1on, which was accep e , bullding of stone or brick, the wood-work and shingles to be of pine. He hauled the lumber by ox team from Atchison and Leavenworth. The bu1lding now stands on the northeast corner of Tenth and Jackson streets, and was then-the most magnificent edifice in the city. In 1869, Dr. Q. H. Butterfield was elected first President of Lincoln College. He resigned in 1870 and in 1871 Dr. McVicar, who has ever since so ably stood at the helm, guiding our educational ship through the rough seas, succeeded him as President. Th- fi ' t d was then turned on the present site, .for the foundation e IS so Of Washburn College, so named in honor of a gift of 225,000 from - ' l de. rees the college has Deaconnlchabod WaSlIbUlll. Since then by s ow g EFOWI1 t1ll to-day it stands in its present place among the educational insti- tutions of the West. 19 4 - K, -.1-fa, V , ,N .0 l x ' J ' f E4S W Xiu Mllly 'W' mf f p ' K , if I ' . , .1 eff 'gli .. we ' ' .,- , .r . vid- 'M '14 IRQ JL..-' l4l- lvnn ' je x My -1.

Do not our words, our acts, aye our very looks betray us! And were we to publish complete the log bool: of our col- lege voyage it would fill volumes. Most of us joined the crew four years ago-some have required a longer time-and from the first we have de- served and obtained notoriety, we have ever been bold to clash the spray in unknown seas-ours was the first Class yell, the first class colors, and 37 more than all else, the first class party. That party was a grand success, and following it were the taffy-pull, the hay-ride and the picnic we didn't have. Oh that Freshman picnic ! The picnic the preceptress sank to the bottom of the sea! Enough for this our first year out. The next Septem- ber found our crew somewhat diminished in size though but little in ardor. Yet having gained some dignity and much of the Sophomoric self-esteem, we hauled in a few sails and sacrificed ourselves a little to the convenience of the rest of the fleet. Few of us were knocked from the deck by Analytics, and those who were, thc ever-ready boat of substitutions picked up so that we lost none in that storm, and we entered our Junior year with colors flying. A During this year two things were noticeable--first we weathered Physics, second our football team stove in all the rest of the Beet. fFor full particulars of this event see March number of the MID-CON'l'INEN'F., We had always rather liked that game, in fact our first class party was attended with black eyes, maimed limbs and stiffened jaws, gained in foot-ball that day-but we had been beaten then and this was our next attempt. Our opponents yelled: Freshmen-Sophomores-Preps, you bet Juniors-Seniors, not in it yet ! loud and long, but we came out victorious and we still bear the marks on our bodies, and the memory in our minds. We have always deserved great' credit for our innovations, and the same characteristic appears this year: for did we not get out the first Senior edition of the College paper ever published at Washburn and then the next day tear up the same? And whoever heard before of a crew of grave Seniors who couldn't agree on anything, not even a class party, a box at contest or our Commencement exercises T' Some of us are wise in our own conceits, some are wise in the conceits of others, but we are all wise, for otherwisej too wise, so we differ in opinion. But that cannot harm us long, for we are all sailing toward the same port, all 28 approaching the same harbor which some will reach by carrying nine studies, others by towing four. h VVC heave in sight of port with feelings of great sadness. We are sorry to disembark, partly because some of us have been sailing so long, partly from a disinterested motiveg because we do not understand how the rest of the fleet can survive, without us to benz! down the surging billows and quiet the waters before them. But we know that our efforts have been appreciated by all who have thus depended upon us, and that they will carefully follow the advice we leave behind us, and we derive some comfort from that.

P. STRONG. The class of '96 was. born-well born. On the morning of the fourteenth of September, eighteen hundred and ninety-two, there assem- bled at Washburn a company of twenty-five young men and women, many of them graduates of Washburn Academy, but others coming from various parts of our broad land. They were a stalwart band, confident of their own superior ability, ready to win prize debates, to show due dis- l'iSfi.fgCt for the sophomores, and to lead the world to the Plymouth Rock 0 1 e1'ty. , So much for sentiment-but when the actual tug of war came we were ready for it. Hammers represented us on the Gamma Sigma de- bate. Platt on the W. C. L. S. debate. They hit hard licks and knocked the persimmonsf' Thus early in its history the class showed that predominating literary and forensic ability which has marked them ever since, and which will continue to mark them till Gabriel blows his trumpet on that morning, and amid the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds, calls to its final judgment a race enlightened, elevated and revivitied by the heroic class of eighteen ninety-six. '33 The sophomore was passed in comparative peace and plenty-peace from struggle and turmoil in the bewildering meshes of trigonometry, and plenty of other work. And now we are in the midst of the junior year, with its sorrows and its joys, its Udiscouragements and its triumphs. There are but eighteen of us now, but we are still a heroic band, resolute and fearless. Early in the year our hearts were saddened by the death of our class spirit. But in the midst of funeral rites it was announced that a new class spirit had come to us, whom we christened Obejoyful Methusala Washburn. This name indicates alike his genial nature and his predes- tined longevity. His charming personality is revealed to an appreciating public by the accompanying cut. ' Under his inspiring leadership we have plodded on, although- Physics oft has stood between us, And our very fondest hopes, Oft has added to our sorrows, Oft has given our joys the mopes. Since we are blest with his effulgent smiles, not all the pendulum problems that ever befuddled the human brain, not the laws of currents, not even the sine galvanometer or Wheatstone's bridge can keep us in perpetual gloom. And now another college ycar Is almost done, Another annual victory Is almost won. And whatsoever happens In the world's wide mix, May the future bring good fortune To the class o' 'o6. 731' NX 'F V Wlr I 1- i Ai if- , nf Y il lymlllly dw! ,Wi w .lyfi ,4 vw, an Jill f J Y a ,. 4 9 S -1 X 9 . .V ,J az, 5 1, ,ill ,... ,, , xx ' alll' 7,7 5 ' r 0 f l ff 3rill,,?m5?'s J ll un-I 'G xl W.

You should hear Paulie and Johnnie as on bended knee, at Hartford on calling nights, they practice the following touching lines from the great English dram- atist : Doubt thou the stars are fire, i Doubt thou the sun doth moveg ' Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. But I must not shirk my duty as a class historian to emulate her actors so I pass on. We Sophs. had a party last fall. In parties there are prosy passages HS vvell as poetic ones. One of these p1'osy passages is illustrated above. This beautiful and life-like picture is supposed to represent not a buffalo nor a herd of buffaloes, but Sophomores. They merrily came fhI'0ugh the sunshine, with umbrellas at full sail, to borrow chairs for use in the evening. Returning they could not carry the umbrellas, 37 which they had borrowed from- echo answers, Where P - and the chairs at the same time, so they took their umbrellas under their arms and carried their chairs, although the raging elements made the noble Sophs. resemble the proverbial wet hen in more ways than one. Noble self-sacrificing Sophs ! Your name shall be immortalized not only by us, but two of you shall receive the adoration of two fair members of I900+x, who lent grace and beauty to this occasion. At this time all the new officers passed through that imposing, realistic, awe-inspiring ceremony of installation. We are athletes, toog if we didn't take the Freshie's canes. Let our defenders of the blue, upon the grid-iron, pass in majestic panorama before you. This one with light auburn hair, a piercing blue eye, and a deaconish face is Newell. This next one, tall, with angular gracefulness in his every motion, his face marked peculiarly by an intelligent expres- sion-this I say, is he whom the class delighteth to honor, Magaw, the Slugger. Observe this close-knit form, the passive strength in his face peacefully glaring from his eyes. ' This is Crocker,- not Boss Croker-but boss Crocker. Oh, the elements varied the exquisite plan That are used in constructing the lovely young man. Gaze on those Samsonian curls. Shed a tear to those scars. Sacri- ficing spirit, defender of the blue, our hero, journalist, musician, athlete, Maurice Phillippe Gould. The girls of our class form the bon ton of Washburn society. Their company is sought by all,-oft'-times in vain. We have a heroine. Read announcement in the Book Review. Our girls are really intellectual giants. One of them even bought a hat down in the city and before she reached home, mimble ziiclu! her head had actually grown so much that she could not get it on and she had to take it back. 'She is but a type. We also claim, or did claim, that we could play base-ball. This claim, however, was made simply to promote base-ball spirit in school. We did not expect to defeat the junior class upon the diamond, but we thought by challenging them we would furnish a little harmless amuse- ment to the Preps. We never dreamed that the playing of the game would lead one of our most influential members into agricultural pursuits for the next twenty-four hours. We are a very wonderful class and could tell lots of things about ourselves that would be very interesting, but unjust as it may seem we have been compelled to conhne ourselves to these few words, so we draw regretfully to a close. l XY QIQWWMQ. f P gr? 1f:nrt:n.....

It was a. bright moonlight night in June when wc cast Off the chry- salis of Prepdom, and burst forth to the Wondering gaze of the multitude in all the glory'Of Frcshmanic verdancy. Since that happy day, when, our young spirits first responded to the throbbing of that little engine of life as it beat a merry reveille against the inner wall of our heaving bosoms, we have had several additions to our mirth provoking band, both boys and girls-especially girls. Right here I must explain that we did not intend any plagiarism in our class yell. We cast our thoughts about like the waves of the sea, for a long time, before we found anything to 41 ' suh. NVe have greatrespectforthe Juniors,so we paraphrased d1eh'yeH. With this explanation we can say, wit-h more truth than some are accustomed to use, that in this case it was Hunconscience assimilation - which, by the way, is the way we get our lessons too. I say we respect the Juniors, for did they not tell the blustering Sophs not to touch our canes, or us? If the Sophs had made a rush, some of ustender Freshiesinight have got hurh and our canes nnght have got some of the varnish knocked off against some Sophomore's facial expres- sion. Besides this the juniors say that in the spring, when it gets warm, so that we'll not catch cold, they will keep the Sophs away while Wade, Ward, Rice, and Nelson play marbles on the campus. And so with the guardian eye of the Juniors hovering fondly over us, we hope to become not only experts with canes and marbles, but also to become shrewd politicians. Already we have spent session after session in the discussion, passage, and recall of resolutions relative to the skipfulness of some of our number. All this we did. We passed reso- lutions. We delivered them. Our President by careful manipulation of Roberts' Rules of Order recalled them, and made them as if they had never been. To make nothing out of something takes politicians-Freshman politicians. I might also mention how with a Junior to lead we overrode the upper classmen, Roberts' Rules, and the W. C. L. S. constitution, thus demonstrating our political prowess. But you, kind reader, will not bear with me, so I'll just mention, in closing, our straw ride which never came off, and when you come to Washburn may you in each of us, with Mr. Pope - Behold the child by nature's kindly law Pleased with a rattle, tickled by a straw, 'ds 'wx L,L' ' 1-LLJJ.. if t ,1 I I 1 'Z' Q' fl' -xg. fx ke' .t 'N ,li'1f.l'i, I-QU Ml. lglyiy il ini if l U .L li: In TT ls' im a 'Q 1 .wif '- ,--i .. at ie . an A ' v .ip Ax LI! :LL Q- - -Q 'rg ...Ria- Q--' I 'll .,,11- ..., 2.

At any time you may go to the studio you will find them busily at work portraying the features of some old Grecian or the stern countenance of a Washburn senior. But there is a time for work and a time for play-while the model is resting the class is liable to do almost anything for recreation, from an animated discussion upon some art topic to an impromptu rendering of a comic opera. When time is called all play is at an end, work is resumed only to be interrupted by the monitor calling rest, except on the occasion of a visitation of the I-Ielianthus ghost. He always appears with disheveled hair and a new idea, at an unexpected moment, generally the busiest one, and few, very few can realize how great the relief when they were assured of the last call. When the weather is pleasant the class leaves the studio for the open air to make studies of the landscape and animals. For the sketching tours the college chariot is always chartered which soon takes them to the most picturesque spot to be found in Shawnee county, ample testi- mony of which is found in the many sketches that adorn the studio walls. Back in the south end of the college campus there has been built an out-door studio. l-Iere among the trees one of the college cows or a horse stands patiently to be portrayed by the future Rose Bonheurs of America. The animal is tied between two iron rails and is obliged to hold the same position during the three hours devoted to this class. At 5 o'clock all work stops and one of the members reads an article upon the history or philosophy of art, followed by a general discussion upon the beautiful and the sublime, future hopes, past illusions-for all have learned that art is real, art is earnest, and that there is an opportu- nity of developing here in America a great school of art, yes, even a Kansas school, of which we may now see the vigorous beginning. 49 1 STORY OF THE CHARIOT RACE, BY THE PIEDAGOGOS.

'QGQBQQ Inseparably connected with the college life of any institution worthy of such a name is its society work, and Washburn is no exception to the rule. .For many years past the literary societies have been prominent in our institution. In the fall of 1879 an organization known as the Washburn Lyceum came into existence and to its founders belongs the honor of originating literary society work in Washburn. It was a mixed society, both sexes being admitted. The chief features of its programs were recitations, debate, a spicy paper known as the Evening Star, and best of all, a re- cess. These recesses often were the most interesting part of the whole evening and it was not a great while till the undue prominence given to them killed the society. It was discontinued in the spring of 1881. There followed after this a series of short lived societies. A Shakes- peare Club, which was also a mixed society and was encouraged by the Faculty, existed for a short timeg then a College Reading Club was organized which supported a small reading room in the room in Science Hall at present occupied by the telephone, the papers and periodicals being subscribed for by the students and members of the Faculty, later there was a Cottage Reading Club organized, through the efforts of Miss White, which existed buta very short time. Prof. Cressey now organized aseleet society called the Holland Club, whose members took part in public rhetoricals. This, too, soon died, and was followed by the some- what mythical Pi Eta Society. All this clearly p1'oved the demand for societies organized for work, but the Faculty opposed the organization of a Society on the plan of the old Lyceum, and the older students would support no other. In I882, however, Professors Lovewcll and Bliss succeeded in organ- izing among some of the younger fellows a Society for men-the W. C. L. S., which for a time met with violent opposition among the upper class men, but succeeded finally in taking its place among the permanent institutions of the college. Among its prime movers were D. H. Platt, C. P. Donnell, Robert Stone and O. S. Branson. The first meeting was held in the room of Platt and Donnell. Afterward, for some time, the Greek recitation room fnow the dressing room for the gymnasiumj served as its place of meeting. 58 About a year later the Gamma Sigma Society was formed by Prof. Stearns and a split from the W. C. L. S. Its leading members were Ellsworth Ingalls and Harry Reding, and it was formed more after the plan of a secret society, but these features soon disappeared. These two societies have ever since been growing side by side, and doubtless for many years to come will wield a prominent influence in moulding the college life of Washburn. The men actively interested in these organizations are men of whom we may well be proud. But both of these are for men and it was not till 1888 that anything of the kind existed among the ladies. In the fall of this year some of the ladies at the cottages, prominent among whom was Miss Lyman, whom many of the older students will remember, seeing the need of such a Society among the ladies, formed what was known as the Cottage Literary Society. It grew to be a fairly strong organization and in 1892 held its first prize debate. This event, however, proved too much for it, and it died from over exertion in the spring of that year. It was founded on a thorough literary basis, its programs consisting of music, recitations and debates. Realizing the needs of a purely collegiate Society, where higher literary attainment and a more informal relation between the Faculty and the students should be cultivated, in 1892 some of the members of the Faculty and the three higher classes met and formed the Washburn Col- lege Club to fulfill this purpose. This school year has witnessed the organization of another Society among the ladies, the Panthygaterians. Preparations are being made for the furnishing of a room and by the beginning of next year, this Society, too, will have a home of its own. As was said at the first of this sketch - Society work is an import- ant feature of Washburn life and, believing, as we do, that it is rightly, so we would close by expressing the hope that it may long con- tinue to be. 59 .

' 59689- The Washburn Club is a Literary Society to the membership of which the Faculty. and students of the Senior, junior and Sophomore classes are eligible, It was organized December 12th, 1892. Its literary work is of a high orderg its object to promote study and investigation and original expression of thought, Its programs for the past year have covered an extensive field. An evening was devoted to a discussion of art, and to a display of picturesg another to the study of American composers, the vocal instructor preparing a paper and the pupils of the musical department rendering vocal and instrumental selectionsg the Spenser class occupied one eveningg Education from a Business Standpoint was discussed by a successful business man of the city g again the instructor in elocution gave selections from Eugene Field. Under its auspices the Greek department gave the play Electra, which had been given but twice before in America, from which the students and others were able to gain an excellent idea of Greek customs and of the style of the Greek drama, Other evenings were devoted to the Antiquities of the West, to Shelley, to Trilby and to Science. Occasional socials have added to the mutual enjoyment of its mem- bers. A reception was given under its auspices to President Taylor, of Vassar College. The work of this organization is necessarily more comprehensive than that of the other literary societies and a new impulse has been imparted by it toward a broader survey of all the various fields of knowledge. Its influence upon the social life of the school has been beneficial and from time to time its literary guests have brought its members into touch with others interested in the same pursuits and has broadened their sympathies, Much of Washburn's enthusiasm in Literature is due to the Washburn Club.

As it is the oldest so it also boasts of having had continually the largest membership roll. Perhaps no remembrances of Washburn to the graduate who was and is a loyal W. C. L. S. man are dcarer than those connected with his literary society. How he laughs at the recollection of his first extempo- raneous speech in which his thoughts all forsook him and his mind be- came an aching void until in his embarrassment he muttered a few words and sat down only to be tormented by a hundred ideas flocking to his mind, for which he would have given so much a moment before! And then the debater, whose questions varied from Woman's Suffrage, and Foreign Immigration to Are the young ladies of the present gener- ation calculated to make as good wives as those of preceding generations? What good natured irony and what spirited defense! And then the volunteers so numerous and talkative that a motion was necessary to prohibit further discussion. He remembers the moot Congresses and the Annual Banquets, and all these recollections are very dear. He realizes how much his society drill contributed to his success in life. For a number of years the wi C. L. S. held its meetings in various of the recitation rooms of the college, but in IXSSQ they 'fitted up the northwest room on the third floor of Science Hall and two years later moved into the quarters which they now occupy, Nos. 35 and 37 Science I-Iall. 'The officers given for the Literary Societies are those in office at the time of the Prize Debates. 63 Ay X x X S S ilibeiirhew. Qllcmthggateaziun nrietg. QQQGQ Ilifficnrs.

Since the death of the Cottage Literary Society, three years ago, there has been felt among the young ladies a need of literary work which the college course does not supply. The voice of the feminine silver tongued orator did not reverberate in college halls. Instead of the in- dependent American woman, capable of weighing both sides of a ques- tion, the Washburn young woman was in danger of being of the It's just as you say type. Accordingly a meeting was called on the evening of December 15, at Hartford Cottage, for all interested in the matter. The result was the Panthygaterian society with a charter membership of twenty-two. The present indications are that this is to be a formidable rival to the two other societies in the nature of its literary work, the care- ful preparation of its programs, and the bond of unity engendered among its members.

From the organization of this literary society in September, 1883, it has been the source of Washburn's champions in all successful oratorical contests. It is the purpose of this society to develop literary excel- lence and a strong fraternal feeling among its members without the evils of a fraternity. With this in view the programs of the weekly meetings consist of every kind of literary work and expression. As an incentive to the younger speakers of the society, an annual prize debate is given by the society to which only members are eligible. Two prizes are offered and the debates are given in public, thus affording the speakers an oppor- tunity to appear before a large audience. Although visitors are welcome at all regular meetings, the society annually holds one open meeting in the college chapel, at which a regular program is carried out and to which the friends of the society are invited. Several times each year the Gamma Sigmas, as a society, indulge in banquets and social and liter- ary fetes, to which they also invite their lady friends. These gatherings tend to develop a feeling of mutual fellowship among the students and are conducive to a live college spirit. In the future as in the past the aim of this society will be to develop ready address, ftrue fellowship and noble manhood, and to exist for the benefit and honor of Washburn College and her students. 57 Mr .W G K A.

All are familiar with the names of S. W. Naylor, A. W. Brewster, and J. L. Poston. liach of these men while in college took a lively interest in society work. and it was their faithful work and continued practice in regular society debates that marked them for the oratorical honors they were destined to win. As a stepping stone to his later honors, each was a prize winner in the spring oration contests and a winner of first place in the Gamma Sig- ma prize debate. To these laurels were added the honor of winning both the Local and State Oratorical Contests, and of representing Kansas in the Inter- state Contest. Mr. Naylor has also the distinction of being the only man who has won for Kansas first place in the Interstate. 69 ,K N., -Vai U. A H If .---'-48' 1. I ff.-. .1 , .f 1 M- -LM' 'Ae bi.

A preliminary meeting was held for the purpose of organizing a Young Men's Christian Association at Washburn, April 23rd, ISS3. Under its direction the following work was planned: the college prayer- meetings, Bible classes and personal worlc. The object of the Associa- tion, though its iield of active work has been much extended, is still the same. It has remained closely in touch with the State Association, by attending conventions, subscribing to the State work, and by visitations from State and National Secretaries. Twice the Association has sent delegates to the Summer School at Geneva. The good derived from the Association is too often estimated in a superficial way. Itis like an oasis in the desert. Many students have had their drooping spirits refreshed and started on their way with brighter hopes and lofticr aspirations. The regret is that more have not received from the fountain head the inspiring draught the Y. M. C. A. has endeavored to administerf Devotional meetings are held each Sunday afternoon by the young men, and a union meeting on Thursday evening. Both- are conducted in the Y. M. C. A. roomsg many are invited to come, but too few receive the offer which alone can give lasting quality and worth to a general edu- cation. 70 ,459 i QV ' a ' Q -1' F5 1 i l mm M ?l l' mu 41' .ipm l' 'Ji fri ff11f11 fa V IWIIIQ-lxvil '51, f' !

Its constitution was adopted December Ilth, 1884. It has for its aim the symmetrical development of Christian young woman- hood, and the cultivation of a spirit of helpfulness towards young women everywhere. It maintains three Bible classes, encourages mis- sionary study and provides means for the development of the spiritual and social nature. Once a year a Christmas box is prepared for the school of colored children at Meridian, Miss. Some of the young ladies teach in Mission Sunday Schools in the city. The Association enjoys the hearty support of the lady teachers. 71 53. Ili n - . . .. ,if f va- . 'Y' 1 - . 1 . w 9. 1. , f. ' , , My, WM Q i H .M 1 xi I iii r '1 1 V A H , 'v,.

Under its auspices a local oratorical contest is held each year at least fourweeks before the State Contest. Recently the time has been definitely Fixed for the first Tuesday following the Thanksgiving intermission, in order to give to the winning contestant time for thorough preparation before the State Contest. Any member of the association is privileged to compete in the local contest provided that he give his name to the secretary four weeks before that date. The executive committee chooses the six judges and makes such arrangernents as are necessary for the local contest. ' The stock of the association consists of fifty non-assessable shares of one dollar each, no member being permitted to hold more than three shares. Rivalry between the W. C. L. S. and Gamma Sigmas has for the past two years run high and shares have been sold at auction for sums as great as 512.50 and 8I9.75, each society being anxious to gain a controlling interest.

'Q-Q'bfOQf Five years ago, interest was aroused in a gymnasium and about a hundred dollars' worth of apparatus was placed in the old chapel room, but very little use was made of this by the students. During the Kansas Legislative War of '93, many of the Washburn boys served as assistant sergeants-at-arms, and when they received pay for their service, a student meeting was called and it was generously' agreed to donate this money for the purchase of gymnasium apparatus. Two hundred dollars was thus procured, to which the college added an equal amount, making the present gymnasium equipment worth about five hundred dollars. At the beginning of the fall term of ,Q3, an instructor was secured in the city and classes organized both for gentlemen and, ladies, and main- tained throughout the year, meeting twice a week. During the present year the work has been continued along the same lines, and April 20th the ladies' class gave an exhibition drill in connec- tion with the Panthygaterian entertainment.

It had been strong and vigorous in infancy and early youth, but soonit began to droop. Sorrowfully we watched it fade, and at last it passed away. The funeral was held October 27th, at the home of Mr. Silver. Services were opened with a song by the class, followed by a poem by lVlr. Platt, a short talk by Mr. Strong, and the address of the evening by Mr. Irelan, during which the class on several occasions gave way to its emotions. Thus, due respect having been paid to the de- parted, we turned from the sad past to the ever present now, and elected officers for the ensuing year. Happiness soon came in place of sorrow, for there appeared upon the scene, to the surprise of all, a new spirit for '96, very young indeed, but beautiful in every feature and graceful in every action. The infant was provided with a nurse and a doctor from the class of '97, and after much earnest consideration, was christened Obejoyful Methusala Washburn. He was the central figure of the evening, and was tenderly caressed and petted by all, the joy which he brought was a lasting one. Those interested in his welfare are referred to the state- ment of the doctor found elsewhere in these pages, and also to arecently taken likeness on page 34. His kindly influence and aid is manifested throughout this entire work. asses Elhmieral Egmn. f'1'UNE- AMERICA.HD I. Spirit of ninety-six, Thou who hast hit hard licks, For thee we mourn.

Friends, Kansans, Classmates, lend me your ears: Here have we come to bury our fair Spirit and to praise her. I am not like Mark Antony, he came not here to talk, while I came here for that express purpose. - I speak not to disprove what Strong hath said, But here I stand to speak what I do know. Behold! how fickle is the fortune of a man! He appears upon thc stage of life early in his youth, he tastes of life's joys and sorrows, and cavorts around a while, and then he shuffies off at a side entrance and some other fellow squats upon his claim. So has it been with our fair Spirit. Two years ago, upon a beautiful September morning she first appeared in the classic halls of Washburn. Two years she shared our griefs and our sorrows, our ,triumphs and our joys. But now she is taken from us and we shall see her no more forever. And the spirits of other classes will tread on the same grass she trod on and climb up the same stairs she climbed up. I You all did love her once, not without cause, What cause withholds you then to mourn for her? In every age, Strong men with iron wills and fearless souls, Have shaped the destiny of man. Of such heroic men and women is composed the class of 1896. But sce them now. Behold the strong man in his grief. See him bowed in the agony of despair, weeping for his fair guardian Spirit and refusing to be comforted because she is not. Break, break, break, I On thy cold gray stones, O seal And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman's boy That he shouts with his sister at play, , O well for the sailor lad That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill, But O for the touch of a vanished hand! And the sound of a voice that is still. Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O sea! But the tender grace of a Spirit that's dead Will never come back to me. 88 We've dug her a grave a few feet deep, And there in Earth's arms wc'll lay her to sleepy And for many a day the Flowers will spread A pall of petals over her headg And the little gray hawk hangs aloof in the air, And the sly coyote trots here and there, And the blacksnakes glide and glitter and slide, Into the rift in the cottonwood treeg And the buzzards sail on, And come and be gone, Stately and still as a ship at seag And I wonder why I do not care For the things that are, like the things that were. Does half my heart lie buried there With the spirit of '96? I shed no tear for her. She died With her last sunshine in her eyes, Earth held no joy for her beside The hopes we shattered-and she lies Silent and still in Death's deep dell. And near herlin a newer bed Soon shall we lie as wellg This recreant class of '96, Soon shall be in the same sad Ex.

The Washburn Senior, with a smiling face Beholds commencement day draw near apace. For now, he argues, through the coming years I'll reap with joy, what I've sown with tears. And when examinations all are passed, Final orations swcated out, at last He dares breathe freely, with deep meditation I-Ie ruminates on his time-long vacation, And in the world ahead, expects to find Due deference paid to his well trained mind, And all positions waiting on his choice, Of worth and honor, when he cares to voice His preference. And this, he well may feel, Is his by right, if fortune will but deal According to desert. From head to heel, A purpose strong stirs every nerve within, To prod the old world up, and make her spin, And set the sea on fireg he swears he will Bid sun and moon to hustle, not stand still. The long hours lag: his spirit runs before Nor will he heed the ancient adage more That says, Rome was not builded in a day, For the White City was. He thinks he may Count time in deeds 5 time's relative they say. Twitted with youth Napoleon sternly said Within a year I shall be old, or dead. just so the graduate, his aim on high, Thinks in a year I will attain or die. Leave here his hopes. Commencement day draws nigh The crowd assembles g mamas' eyes are wet With tears of pride, while anxious papas sweat. The graduates file on. The crowd in silence waits Receiving at the signal, aimed point blank, A volley of orations, They may thank Q0 Their lucky stars, if, from his ancient grave, The o'er worked Anglo-Saxon, driven slave Of orators, is dragged no more than twice, Or three times at the most 5 likewise the rise Of liberty, claims its share of applause, And the Great Charter, mother of our laws. His theses, Luther nails upon the door, The Pilgrims, Cavaliers, and many more Call honors' easy with the suf'ring Jew, The great French Revolution gets its due. But we waste time. Orations safely done, The president delivers, one by one, The cherished sheep skins, written in a tongue 'Tis said men used, once, when the world was young. Their pass-ports in the ghost of speech. Alackl Some day, they'll wish they had their nickel back. Year after year brings back the selfsame scene, Year after year goes forth a band, as keen To meet, and beat the world at his own game, And wrest from his hard hands, wealth. power, fame. Once on a time, so certain legends run, The French at Abercrombie, just for fun Placed on a catapult a wretched thrall, And shot him out, o'er sicged city's wall. So the caged student, when he has become A senior classman, on the beam is hung, Drawn down to place, prepare, the trap is sprung. Forth flies the graduate commencement day, Like some bright comet, wandered from its way, And cleaves a shining pathway through the sky, While we, from the walled city, shout, good bye ! But some unlucky tyros, tempting fate, - Declare this takes too long, they will not wait The catapult, but, like Darius Green, Leap from the wall with some, self-made machine. They land in dark oblivion 'neath the wall. The graduate escapes that fearful fall. He, dropping in the world's cold mud and ooze, Spoils first, the classic shine upon his shoes, His well groomed clothes get spattered, and he feels His muddy gown, Hop heavy at his heels. And at this juncture, to still more annoy, The fat faced world, like some bad boy QI Derides him, mocks him, jeers his fresh degree, Smites him on one cheek, then, in ghoulish glee, E'er he has time to turn the other, it Comes round instead surprising him a bit. And soon experience seeks his worth to gaugeg Spreads open to his eyes her ample page, And bids him readg in vain he tries to speak, He finds not Latin, Sanskrit, no, nor Greek, But mystic symbols, and unmeaning signs. ' He strives, and stammers, but no jot divines Of what it reads. Experience mutters, Fool l I thought you told me, you had been to school. Unlearn all you have learned quick as you can, That done, I'll try to make of you a man. Well, let us hope the dame will keep her word- There lies firm ground beyond the mud, I've heard. Then let the saucy world watch out, I say, The graduate will tackle, some fine day, And wear him out, in the old foot-ball way- Smash in his nose, and then bite off an ear, Gouge out an eye, and make his mouth look queer, Break up bones, according to good foot-ball laws, Till the world thinks he's fooled with ten buzz-saws. That's just a joke, and yet perhaps half true. just one glance more, years after,then we're through Seas haven't burned, the world jogs on the smeg As yet he has not gained great wealth, or fame. His head is shiney where brown hair dia' curl, Let's hope he married some nice Washburn girl, Has fifteen boys, well muscled, tall and tough, Who'll come to Washburn, when they're big enough And play foot-ball, and yell. , Dear Seniors this, Is our farewell. We wish you joy and bliss. Q2 615132 uhge. Nothing is more effective in adding spice to Washburn life, and miti- gating its drudgeries, than our old friend, which being well known to every VVashburn student, needs no introduction-Tfzc Yudge. The Freshman, having just flunkcd in recitation, or being worried over numerous social duties, finds abundant relief in turning its bright pages o'er. First a happy smilc luminates the worried features, then, not possessing the dignity and self-control which generally prevails in the reading-room, he involuntarily bursts into loud laughter, while everybody feels heartily glad that the author did not write as funny as he could. The Sophomore, possessing the wisdom and experience rarely found in the average youth, and having, besides, the learning acquired in the Freshman year, with the sense of his responsibility to present duties, takes the fudge with a calm and dignified demeanor. No smile lights his face, and we are led to think that once the f7mige has failed in his efforts, and turn to our scientific treatise-when we are shocked by an outburst, like the sudden eruption ofa volcano,from behind the ,'7ua'ge. The cause was this-the Sophie could conceal his pcnt up mirth no longer. The sentimental junior takes the fudge, not, of course, for the fun which it contains, but for thc advancement of his knowledge of human nature, of which he already possesses a considerable amount, and from the fact that he is supposed not only to be well informed on any topic of the day, but to read every piece in cvery magazine and news- paper, that he may discuss extemporaneously and in an intelligent man- ner any subject which may present itself. We are pleased, presently, to see his grave face changed into a full moon, and his eyes to twinkling stars. Oh, happy ffmigfe! The Senior's classic learning and lofty bearing does not forbid his enjoyment of the funny paper, but from the fact that it takes the truly wise to fully appreciate a joke, he is able to enjoy to the utmost its funny hints, and hence makes demonstration accordingly. So if the Freshman, Sophomore and junior seem to enjoy the Yudge, the senior can be imag- ined in his glee. Therefore let us say, with the hearty endorsement of every Vlfashburnite, long live the fudge. ' 93 fin ew Be i liiifijstfoqighli.

The lightning rod came down before I-Iallowe'en two weeks or more 3 For there was great fear lest one might fall, As he scaled the face of Science Hall. The ladders were the next to go, And where they went there's none can know. The ladders were followed by two doors- Those boys are too foxy! Dana roars. And so one door he strongly blocksM The other he securely locks. The day was over, yes over at last, And night's dark shadows were settling fast. Up came Mr. Dana, with darkey in tow, The hall he lighted by a lantern's dim glow. Darkey with a club was in the attic to lurk, But they tried the lock-and the key wouldn't work However it happened we cannot know, But darkey and Dana both stayed below. 94 Dark was that Autumn night, Nor did the moon give light. The boys, returning from Boswell hall, Where, as guests of spirits each and all Had been, saw--'tis said--figures five or six, ' 1 -..Q f 'g','L':?i:f:--L:Ffa it 4 imi,,,,,M,WK , it xf X 'X I ' 'i MX 'V Fierce, mighty, muscular and armed with sticks. They all possessed a lean and hungry look'- Straightway the lower limbs of many shook, And each unto his room his way did take, Nor left it ever more till day did break. The deeds that followed now, Who did them, when and how? Are questions which defy solution, As do the doers absolution. Go where you may, ask whom you please, The fact remains, one never sees A fellow who was in the crowd 3 But each can tell, in voice most loud, What some one said had happened there, And how Pigskin his way did tear Adown the long and winding stair. So if I do the facts expand, Pray use me with a kindly hand. 'The town clock had finished striking two- Or surely would have done so Had there been a clock this deed to do, When unto Science there did go 95 A group of boys, some four or five, Who on their backs a burden bore, Which is, as sure as you're alive, That bolted, barred and hinged door. This was expressly built to swing Between the loft and upper hall, But to the post it failed to cling, And, as it were, from grace did fall. The watchman, grim and bold, With gleaming eye and gesture fierce, In tone as iceberg cold Commanded: Ye Rebels, now dispersel' Dispersing seems not to have been The order of the day g Go at them, Tom! then said Pigskin. I will, thcn Tom did say, But did not make his promise good Although his ground he firmly stood. Meanwhile the Rebels were increased By squads from south, north, west and east Each squad brought a ladder or a door, And of ladders some brought two or more. The Rebels now a spokesman chose . Who should unto the guards disclose, That they no harm with them did bring, But simply that the bell should ring, This was received with haughty mien 5 The Rebel band their forces do divide, One-half are then no longer seen, For through the coal hole they take a slide And soon the guards without are filled with consternation For the brazen bell sounds forth its tintinabulation Pigskin and Tom ascend the stairs- The lantern in their faces glares g The one with falling bodies does experiment The other quickly on his homeward way is sent In chivalry we do often read Of many a good and noble deed Done by the knight for lady love, Whom he esteems than all above. The age of chivalry is past But here at Washburn we at last 96. Shall see a hero of that cast. Upon those stairs you shall not go,' Rings out the voice of Uncle Joe, Unless your hasty feet shall tread Beneath their soles my body dead. The spokesman once again comes forth, With winged words his tongue does fly- Words full of loyalty and truth Nor asked him then for Washburn to die 5 Suffice it to say the bell did ring, Nor unto death did they any bring. And do you ask with humble grace, Where Dana was when this took place? Go ask the little birds that twitter in the trees Go ask the floweret that feeds the honey bees Go ask the groundhog, go and ask the mole 5 Go ask the man who crawled in his hole. This story heard, I pondered long, My Muse inspired, then sang this song: soNG. Our Senior Professor Lovewell, We truly love thee well.

Qtlutrirkfaa Eng in the QErw11ing. The setting sun had gilded the fieecy clouds which were banked like snow in the west, on the evening of this day dedicated by the Holy Fathers to St. Patrick. The Church of the Assumption was filled to over- fiowing with devoted worshipers, who had dipped their digits into the finger bowls, and were muttering many an Ave Maria. Besides these faithful and devout ones, there were present the elite of the musical talent of the city, and of Washbiirxi. Right proud are we that Washburn has now, and has had, musical critics of no mean class. This night The Shamrock was to be sung. Upon the back seat sat four of these musi- cal critics and right proud are we to note, again I say, that two of these were from Washburn College. That one with His hair oiled glossily back of his ears, Atop of whose head an equator appears, with his pipe-stem legs, and tooth -pick shoes is no longer with us, for The all of life fWashburn lifej he loves is gone, He treads life's weary round alone, The dear departed comes Ijto Washburnil no more, never more, The all of life he loves is gone. But while this one is not with us, in that other one's fine muscular form we recognize a present student, a senior, one too that adds great dignity and frigidity to the class. The last faint strains of the music from the organ-loft die upon the tympanum of the ear, the Holy Father, in broken Irish, addresses the multitude. One by one the city critics leave. The dignified senior, and he of the pipe-stem legs remain. On the departure of the others, two juvenile inhabitants of Tennessee Town insert themselves devoutly into the vacant seats beside the dig- nified one, to his great joy. Next the pipe-stem legged one takes his leave. On his departure Pickininny No. 3 preempts the vacant seat and assumes a devout expression. As the dignified one gazed benignly down upon these youthful dis- ciples of St. Patrick, one would naturally recall the lines of the poet: I-le goes on Sunday to the church, And sits among his boys, He hears the parson pray and preach, And it makes his heart rejoice. . 98' Qheamirtutinn Qllag.

QOQQQ' I. A rollicking crew one bright autumn clay, Went down and boarded the Santa Fey They seemed quite excited, and this was the reason, At Emporia they'd play the first game of the season, They played and they played, stopping just once to rest, Till they saw the sun sinking quite low in the westg But in spite of fatigue they were proud of the score, For it stood Washburn sixteen-Emporia four. And a good day it was. II. Before very long Midland came on the field, - But we knew from the first that their sad fate was sealed, For play as they would they could not make a score, Though they shouted and screameditill their lungs were quite sore. But our team with the captain stood well in their way IOI And came out in the end the lords of the day. For all Washburn folks it was just lots of fun To scream Washburn forty-two and Midland none. And a gay day it was. III. And then our boys, up to Midland, all went, On winning more laurels their minds were intentg But that blood thirsty Midland team made such a play As our boys will remember for many a day. When they,bruised and battered,reach ed home late at night, They took solace in shouting each one was 'tall right, And in chapel they fervently chanted the score, Which read, Washburn eighteen-Midland but four. And a rough day it was. IV. And just the next week the Emporia lads came, With colors all Hying, to win back the game They had lost at the firstg and they had their own way, For our boys all said they were too lame to play. So they gracefully yielded the palm to the guest, It was plain to be seen they had not done their best, But the ungrateful spectators raised such a whoop, It was something they said about Washburn and soup.' And a sad day it was. 'Cb-0Qf9'Qf QI. 19311 REID Igiear Rwnlufinna. Kejsolwd, Not to climb lightning rods any more. To sit with my feet, on the Hoor.

A class went geologizing on a fine autumn afternoon, and since you ask it, I'll tell it to you as they told it to me: They'd a kind of a greeny at the head of the thing, They journeyed around and saw many a thing, Many events that long since had occurred, Before, even in Eden, old Adam had heard, The voice of the Lord, or Eve's gentle word. They talked of the glacier, and saw the moraine, And rode on all heedless of following pain, And then at the Coal Mines they finally d1'ew rein, Alighted and started the coal mines to see, Light hearted and happy as they could well beg When, Lo! to a mud hole they quickly arrive, And into it two of them suddenly dive. The one was a lady, the other a gent, ' She fell in first, then in it he went. The mud it was soft, and yellow and deep, And stuck very closely to clothes and to feet. Went in with a run? Yes, quick as a flash She made a splatter, and he made a splash. Deep in this soft, this mushy-like muck, Struggling and screaming, they both of them stuck, The rest heard their screams, then turning about, Went down to the mud hole and helped pull them out. Once out on the land, what a terrible plight! All dripping wit-h mud, oh, pshaw, what a sight !

There are systems and systems of Shorthand: there are also 'fstandard systems--standard for the same reason that locomotion by horsepower is standard, i. e., because they have been used for years. But as steam and electricity are supercediug horse power, so surely are improved methods of shorthand supercedinfg so-called standard systems. The ideal system must iave a dis- tinct and connectible character for each and every sound, vowel as well as consonant, written, as in longhand, with- out any reference to position. It must also be very simple. The Brief System of Shorthand possesses boti these requisites. The Shorthand on this page is written in the Brief Sys- tem. No.1 shows the first exercises, by either correspond- ence or personal instruction. A different sign is used for each of the vowel sounds. Three of them are here shown. T, R, K, and N are always written upwards. and are the only characters so written. -Two dots under a word indi- cate Prolper name. The X shaped character is a period. 'l' ie rief System is just what students want in school work: and when they enter the business world, whether in lmsiness for themselves or as professional steno- graphers. their knowledge of the art will be of inestimable value. The Brief System can be learned practically. even with but half an hour study a day, and any student can find the time to acquire it. No. 2 consists of twoletters written in the Brief outlines of the system. Note that in these outlines the vowels are actually written and that the outlines mean exactly the same, wherever written, tlms affording much more con- densed outlines than is possible with s stems using po- sition. livery student should investigate this System.
