'II. 11 I — 1 5(19 THE CRIMSON 13 EDITORIAL Till! friendships one makes while a student in college are often the dearest and most lasting in the life of an individual. These friend ships, of course, are never forgotten. But into the everyday life of the student there creep main events that he docs forget if they are not recorded in a substantial manner. The “Crimson is designed as such a record. This annual, published In the students of Kipon. is the last will and testament of their college life for I91f |917. The one aim of the editors has been to record Ripon life in an accurate manner. 1t some c cuts havt been ov erlooked do not blame the management, for we have appealed to the student body repeatedly for aid in making this book a fair representation of our student life in its broadest sense. If any who did not respond to tlu call find that important events have been omitted in these pages, let them lx content to say nothing, for “Happy is the man who holdeth his tongue '. We hope that this hook will please its readers. The Crimson Staff has worked hard to make this annual satisfactory. 'The business men of Ripon and many in nearby cities have given generously of their financial aid, with- out which this book could never have been published. The Oshkosh En- graving Company and the Meyer-Rotier Printing Company have spared no pains in their work as engravers and printers. 'These people have sacrificed their time and energy for one purpose—to please you, the readers of these pages. If you are satisfied with the book: if you feel that it is a fair record of the events of the past college year, the management of tlu 1918 “Crimson will feel compensated for it- efforts. Now read and forget the minor errors which you may find. Keep this one fact in mind, that these pages will become more precious to you as time flies. Age will ripen vour affections for Dear Old Ripon, and then you will realize the true worth of this, the 1918 Crimson. 15 ■3(1911 THE CRIMSON] |l8 n; 191 THE CRIMSON I [l8 Greetings to Our Alumni THIS section was added to our Crimson tor you.

THE CRIMSON] flS S The Latin League r'f’M I1: Latin League of Wisconsin colleges was organized and endowed tour years | ago tor the purpose of arousing new interest in the study ot the classics; raising the standard ot excellence; and establishing a bond ot common interest between the departments of the allied colleges. The schools represented arc: Beloit. Carroll, Lawrence. Milwaukee-Downer, Milton, and Ripon. Kach year an examination, con- sisting ot passages m sight translation from the Latin authors and an exercise in Latin composition, is set at Madison hv some I niversitv determined by the directors of the I .e.igue. To the college making the highest average standing is awarded for the year a Silver cup. to the individual having the highest grade, is given a cash prize ot two hundred and fitty dollars: to second and third places respectively are assigned gold, silver and bion .c medals, contributed by Dr. Wright of Lawrence College. The school winning the cup toi three consecutive years will hold it permanently . The cup was held by Lawrence for the years I91J-14; by Ripon 191%lb.

LATIN (TP fl91 [ THE CRIMSON I ll 8 Ripon College and ihe State University Till I rustecs and Faculty ot Ripon College arc promi to acknowledge the I ni- versity ot Wisconsin as tin- center of the educational life ami influence ot the state. To attempt imitation ot the university is absurd. Each institution, ven frankly and clearly, admits the unique place of the other. There is splendid har- mony between the institutions and a mutual understanding. Our credits are t reel} and equally exchanged. Our courses are mapped out with reference to the university experience and icquircmcnts. Several of our ptofessots have had their undergraduate or graduate work at Madison. Next tear we secure our third coach ot Athletics from Madison—the three being E. (). Stichin. II. (). Ofstic. and Harold « )lson. During the year at Ripon College the following deans heid cont'erenci with our faculty and students reviewing our situation in reference to the professional work at Madison: M. H Hacrtcl. K. L. Hatch... T. K. Turneaure Win. A. Scott.. H. S. Richards C R. Bardeen. . .....Advanced Standing ...............Agriculture Mechanics and Engineering ..................Commerce ..................... Law ................ Iedicine Through the co-operation of college and town, for the fifth tear we have had a Farmers’ Course. The college gymnasium and assembly room are used and the farmers arc making a generous and increasing response to this movement. Toi the third year next summe:. Ripon City on the college campus is placing the I niversity Chautauqua. I he President of Ripon College is on the I niversit;. Kxtension. About thirty-live former students of Ripon College are now at Madison taking their graduate or undergraduate work. Ihe leading members of faculty and administrative force in Madison speak in highest terms of the work that Ripon College is doing, and Ripon College has words onh of grateful appreciation for the help of the university in main of the common problems. The college and the university each has its unique place, and each has merits which the other does not attempt to claim. Pk sidcn't Silas Evans.

Xl9l ITHD CRIMSON I flS ; Ripon’s Form of Government THERE arc jrcrhaps tew colleges of its si ye ami type which carry so mam student activities and handle them as well as Ripon College, Efficient husiness meth- ods arc largeh responsible tor our success in this system. There is nothing which tends to discourage student activities in am school as much as financial failure. This is the bugbear in many colleges, as it was indeed one time in Ripon. Rut :« tew years ago a system was devised whereby all the work of student activities should be so regulated and controlled that failure would he almost an impossibility. The system was originated bv President Evans and Dean Barber, who, noting the effective work of the commission form of government in our municipal government, decided to try it in our college. Accordingly joint committees were formed to take charge of the different activities, each committee being composed of representatives of the faculty, of the board of trustees, and of the student body. Even matter pertaining to an activity was to he considered by its joint committee, who must consent before am measure can be put into practice. The active work was to he done by the student representatives, but since they and their work was to be constantly subject to the advice and inspection of the committee, there could he little chance of failure. At present there arc five joint committees acting. The President appoints the trustee and faculty members, who in turn select the student representatives, always taking care that the representatives arc qualified tor their positions, and acceptable to the student body. 'This system of government, although very novel, is a model of success. —STl9lPfHFCRIMS0Nl[ l8 X’ - THAU CLA55LS 191ITHD CRIMSON i 13 191 i TUP CRIMSON 1 fl8 PRESIDENT HKKMAN H.

We l iok back upon the events of the past year in the ccrtaiim that they have carved their inspiration and their lesson on the heart of each student. Wc all tcel the great privilege which a tear in college opens to us. Nor can we honorable ignore the great responsibilities which the reception of those privileges imposes upon os. The greatest benefits in life are those which come through the train- ing of the mind and spirit. College training affords us this training. It confers upon us tin duty of guarding against all selfishness ami vain pride. 't et the past year must have some distinct meaning to each individual student. The Freshman regards it as his first great step in life: the Sophomore sees m it a growth toward dignity and maturity: the Junior has found new problems and responsibilities lie lus met some of life’-� e.il problems; the Senior thinks of the events of the past year as the turning point from east strnh to the serious preparation for life's duties. If we are to name the things which have served to make the past year distinctively successful, we naturally turn first to Ripon’s splendid record in intercollegiate com- petitions. e have again the championship of Wisconsin in football, and of Wisconsin and Illinois in basketball. In forensics we have made great strides. In both oratorical contests we have made a creditable showing and our debate teams are the best in the histon of the school. Hut aside from our competition with other colleges, we can point with pride to the advances made within the college itself. Freshmen hazing has been abolished forever. Popular courses in dramatics and band have lx en added to the college curriculum. Two new clubs have been formed to meet the needs of the students. The social life has been brightened h a hearty co-operation of the Social committee and the student body. The Commons has now found its place, not onlv to serve the hungn stomachs, but to act as a meeting place tor the young people. It is with a feeling of pride and satisfaction that we look back for this short time to view the results of the past car. The student bod} is still the old. Iupp and demo- cratic crowd. Although we have made big strides in tlu past few years, our success has not in the least changed our attitude toward the student who is laboring under the difficulties of small resources. We still arc and always will be a ven democratic col- lege. We cannot help but feel that Ripon will yet see a better day and this feeling that hri dajs are still to lx- biightened and with the success of this past year in our minds, we rise to sing with her loyal sons and daughters: “Hail to thee our Alma Mater Hail, all bail, to thee.” ■aflQl I THE CRIMSON 1 ri8 ORGANI Z ATI SMITH hALL VEST MALL hilltop WOOD SIDE ELMS BARTLETT HARWOOD LEAGUE ElBATE PI KAPPA DELTA RIPON COLLEGE DAYS SOCIAL COMMITTEE.

Although in the past, this concert was always considered excellent, this year we have every reason to believe that all pre- vious records were broken. It is very unusual to find so many good musicians in such a small town as Kipon. and it is a credit to Ripon. but a still greater compliment to the director. t • he able to turn out such skilled musicians.

A new and interesting feature was added to the concert programme this year. It was a humorous descriptive sketch entitled. “A Southern Wedding, which was presented in such a pleasing manner. I he Band will make several tri| s this spring to nearby cities, where concerts will be given. Mr. Zobc’. has also made arrangements wherein our hand will attend the Band Tournament, which is to he held at Plymouth. Too much praise cannot he given to the eflfoits of Kdgar Zohei, the director.

In tact we believe that this year's team is the greatest that the institution has ever turned out. It is true that the number of points actually won in '16 is not quite equal to the record of a war ago. lint the team this year played one game less. The real -uccess ot tlu- team is shown In tin total of scores. 216 for Ripon to 12 for her opponents. 1'he first game was with St. John’s Military Academy. I'he game was a runaway, as the score of 8b t 0 testifies. I his was next to the largest score ever made by a Kipon team—the largest being to I) made in IMfW against Stevens Point Normal School. The second game was almost as much of a victory as the tirst. ()ur opponents were the Oshkosh Normal School players. Our hoys were net willing to quit until they had made the score 68 to 0. The unfortunate thing in connection with this game was the loss of fullback Halverson who was just rounding into good form for the crucial game with Carleton the following week. l o Carleton Ripon lost the only game in which we met defeat tin's :ca:w:i. {,ut when we consider that iust previous to our trip to Northfield. Carleton had humbled Stagg’s Maroons on the latter's own grounds, the defeat does not rellect so much discredit to the Crimson. Our boys may well have felt their handicap in having to take so long a trip to meet such a worthy foe. We were beaten b the score of 12 to 0. One of the two touchdowns in this game was almost directly the result of a tumbled punt. The boy s quite reasonably believe that had the game been playc I in Kipon. with :in even break of luck, the victory might have been with us. The fourth game was played with Heloit. The team journeyed to the state line town with the largest list of crippled men it suffered for the season. The fact that freshmen were not allowed to play in this game also added to the calamity, but the boys, undaunted, came hack with another scalp dangling from the crimson belt. The first half of the game was quite evenly fought, but during the last half, our boys got down to real business and piled up two touchdowns and a goal. I he next Saturday the team was in the pink of condition, and with three hundred rooters, accompanied by our splendid college band, went to Waukesha to meet our worthy rival for championship honors. I'he day was perfect and the setting was fittmg to the occasion. I here was never a doubt in the mind of any kiponitc ::s to what the result t the game would he from the time that our red blanketed warriors appeared on the field till the last whistle sounded. The score was 2b to 0 in Ripun's favor. 1 his was one of the most scientifically played games ever seen on a Wisconsin gridiron. Kurthcrmorc. gentle reader, you may live to !h- much older before you hcai of another game where tour long forward passes were executed with better precision or with a finer defense built around such plays. The contest with Northwestern was the only one that we look back upon with any sense of regret. Wc won, however, by the tunc of 0 to 0. The score should have been four times is large. There arc several things which accounted tor ties small score. sCi9l THE CRIMSON 1 |T8 First, there was the usual slump that always follows a crucial game: .second, the field was very heavy from the .event rains: and lastly, the bins tried to do what was done two years ago—play football on empty stomachs. One cannot make kinetic energy without potential energy. I he last game was played on Ingalls Kiel.I with Lau rence, an ancient and worthy foe. This was an exceedingly important game. It Kipon should win, it would give her the undisputed championship. The hoys, under these conditions, could do nothing else but win. This they did by tlu score of 13 to f . It was a hard fight. There was not a Kipon rooter who was not on the verge of Buck Fever when he saw that blue spangled Lawrentian racing lot our goal line. But fortunately there was a long legged Crimson i te who con Id not hear to see the crowd suffer: so he furnished the proper antidote. Ilis name was lludtloif. We are sure he will he heralded by future generations as the man who saved Kipon on that day from an ignoble defeat Let me tell you. ni) friends, that right there on our own four yard line, where our hero in- tercepted the progress of the enemy, was where our boys played the game as never before. Victory could not he denied a team that showed such playing. In conclusion, we can only reiterate that no H isconsin team was able to cross our goal line either In land or aerial route, and that the only defeat for the season was indicted In an aggregation which had just previously vanquished one of the Big .Vine teams. Kipon’s prospects arc bright lot another year. Our reputation has gone abroad in the land. F.vidence of this is the fact that Notre Dame has offered us a very compli- mentary date for next year. —Cieo. A.

About thirty-five men answered the call. Ofstie's problem was to whip the men in shape tor the University game at Madison on tlte 1.5th. Even “R' man from last year's team was out on tile opening night. With Moriarty, Kueblcr. Wvman, Page and Blair as a nucleus, Coach Ofstie had a squad to work with that had never been equalled in Ripon College. In addition. Webster, Eaton, Monroe, Hartlctt, Volk, Bocttgc, Austin, kolbcrg, Williams, and Hudtlolt formed a squad, any member of which was almost the equal of the preceding year's “R men. Coach Ofstie journeyed to Madison with nine players after only nine days of practice. The University quintet had been in practice for some time and Coach Meanwell also had a nucleus of his preceding year's championship team to work with. Our team held the Badgers D to 7 the firs: half, but endurance was lacking and we lost 30 to 17. “Mon and Wyman performed creditably. After practicing : week during Christmas vacation, our team improved wonderfully and 'ii January 3rd Coach Meanwell brought lus squad to Ripon for more practice. Those who saw the game do not doubt the fact that Ripon certainly played the Badgers an even game. The first half was 13 to ■) in their favor and during the second half Ripon played them II to II Ripon scored one more field goal during the game than they, but I lemming’s excellent free throwing won the game for them 21 to 20. Wyman “.Morey and Webster were the shining lights. Oshkosh Normal were our next opponents, on January loth. 'I lie game was slow and listless, and Coach Ofstie used some of his substitutes to try them out. Eaton and I .unde showed tip w ell for Erosh, as did also Webster. We won In the score of 21 to 12, playing them 12 to 3 the first half. On January 2(� th the Whitewater Normalises invaded our floor and gave us little in the way of practice. The first half ended 24 to 8. In rhe second half numerous “subs were sent in. Bocttgc and Eaton showed up well. Moriarty and Webster were the big point winners. The final score was 32 to 13. Our lirst real conference game took place on Eebruary Oth at Waukesha. Our boys were hampered by the small quarters but played one of the best games of the year. The first half ended IS to 14 in our favor and the final score was 28 to 23. Wyman’s excellent free throwing featured the game as well as Moriarty s basket shooting. Our championship aspirants journeyed to Appleton on the 16th of Eebruary. We played the first half minus the services of kueblcr and Wyman, but held the Lawrence quintet 7 to 7. With “Allie and “Ieh in the lineup, Ripon played rings around the Methodists the second halt and copped the game 24 to 14. Eaton. McDonald and Wyman were the Wig scorers. 13« I 19 THE CRIMSON 13 V ' I In- next night tin- team played Oshkosh Normal at Oshkosh.

They held «mi hunch 15 to 12 the initial half In their style of play. i. e.. the close guarding system. In the final half Ripon overcame their four point lead which they had gained and won 2 to 21. Kuebler and Wvman were the large point makers. On .March 2nd Carroll invaded R'pon with the desire to avenge tneir former defeat. I lie game was fast and interesting, though we held a five point lead throughout the game. The first half was ours 12 to . and the second 7 to ( . giving us a ' to 12 victory. Wyman. Moriarity and baton were the greatest scorers. Coach Speelman and his team invaded our town on March and proved to he tar from equal in the basket making game. The Lawicntian quintet were sent home with i 29 to 14 defeat from n far superior team. Quoting from the Lawrentian of March 8th. which makes a laughable siatement, “Law rence dropped the last game of the season and incidentally lost the state championship.' In our last game of the season, on the evening of March 9th. we won out right to the undisputed state championship by defeating Beloit 29 to 14. Beloit was the champion of the Illinois Little Five Conference, so our victory gave us the title to two states. 1 he Beloit quintet made our hoys go the limit, but at no time were our boys in danger of being defeated.

I'p to the time of the completion of the new chicken lot. his life had been quite limited, as he had been permitted only to enjoy the narrow confines of a small chicken house, rarely seeing more of the great outside world than he could catch by a glimpse through the small cracks between the hoards nl the dwelling. What a wonderful world it was! V hat a bright luture was before him! He resolved then and there that nothing should evei molest his creation not hinder the ambitions of his pride. After having strutted all around and thoroughly investigated the merits of the turn situation. Kaiser Wilhelm turned his attention to bis duties and began to energet ically scratch about in order to scrape together a living for his clucking and peeping family, lie hesitated every now am! then, stood erect, and proclaimed at the top of his lungs, his arrogant challenge to the surrounding world. How grand lie was as he stood before his awe-stricken children flapping his broad, monoplane wings and display- ing his dangerous torpedo-shaped spurs! Certainly he was the height of preparedness and there was not a power in all creation which could even approach him! How proud lu- felt when he saw his ladies gazing admiringly at his tall form and his other evidences of manly valor, each trying vainly to gain some special favor in the sight of his lordship. He could also see the jealousy and envy of the geese, ducks and turkeys as they perceived liis magnificent strength and beauty. Cock-a-doodle-doo!” lie exclaimed in a loud voice—yy Inch by the way. is chicken for. Who dares my lofty presence?’ rile ears of Kaiser Wilhelm” were immediately assailed in an acceptance of ii' challenge from “King Henry . directly on the other side of the fence. Again the aforementioned edict was pronounced, and this time one could tell by “WilhelmV emphatic articulation that he meant. Fight if you dare!” What followed was a rapid exchange of violent words, which, judging by the shocked expressions on the faces of the women folks and their hurried withdrawal to one side, must Ime been oaths. With all the anger of his Plymouth Rock ancestors boiling in his veins the insulted Kaiser Wilhelm , took on an effect which was terrible to behold. All the feathers about his inflated neck stood on end and his yvholc head liecame a vivid crimson. Without further diplomatic relations, the muclt-yvrouged defendei of the down- trodden. made one mad. mighty offensive through the scampering, terror-stricken little chicks and Hcu over the w ire entanglements like a big Zeppelin, and landed squarely in front of our dauntless hero. “King Heim”. “Wilhelm found that the yvays of the insadci are haul, because the apparently weaker King Henry put up a very stiff defense w hen on his own soil. Flu result was as pretty an exhibition of the lot tv-two centimeter art as 1 have ever witnessed in a chicken lot. Kaiser Wilhelm” at first seemed to have the advantage until ' Heim ’ managed to administer a “Marne on his opponent’s front with staggering effect. Immediately after, our hero, by a brilliant 'j09l [THE CRIMSONl [lTt spasm oi beak, wings and spurs. “Verduned the now weakening champion with most telling effect and was soon doing a ‘’Somme” on the breast of the helpless Kaiser Wilhelm”. At this point I saw that forceil arbitration would be necessary. So with nn Inclc Sam-like feeling rushing to the foremost, I clamored into the scene of the encounter and Ix-gan the t.i k of separating the battlers. The burden of restoring peace was a hard task and it was only after great effort that 1 managed to get them “Forded” into peaceful relations.

I is due to every conceivable reason excepting the real one—the individual. Life is a game of chance, hut it is a game in which everybody lias his opportunity. Whether or not the opportunity is seized remains with the individual. Once to every man comes the moment to decide. 1'his moment i realized by many only after it has passed, and then in dejection they play a losing game. I'he accompany ing sketch illustrates the position ot a voting man who lias failed to see that life is real and earnest. “ 1 to (iame of Lite ', is represented by the chess lxiard and men resting on a Sarcophagus, an ominous reminder of the end of the game. The ev il forces of life are represented by the characteristic, gruesome figures directed by Satan. I he figures at the disposal of the youth reflect ltis once noble character. In the background is Conscience, whose sad face expresses the vainness of her pleading voice. The youth is still playing the game but it is quite evident that he is losing. With a gambler's shrewdness Satan make bis moves, and one by one the youth’s chessmen fall into tin trap. I nless Conscience is awakened to the full realization of bis danger, lie will soon make his last play —he wid he Checkmate. So is life a game which can be won or lost as you choose.
