Commanding in appearance, free-hearted, loving among the ladies, given tO.Sfudy Cjust before Examsj, close in financial matters, winning. in his ways, he expects to go through the world on 'fflowery beds of ease. By IQ24 he will have finished his studies in science, and by 1937 will have found a wife, judging by his past experiences. He hopes to become State- Chemist at the age of seventy. In the meantime, much of his time will be spent in .honest toil in a guano factory. - Andy',' Anderson, the conservative man of his class, will some day bring honor to his Alma-Mater. By his keen intellect and marked ability as a disciplinarian, he will devise plans and execute designs which will revo- lutionize the well-adapted High School system of to-day. - Having early won renown as a Apaidagogos, the scene will rapidly change. The enchant- ment of a fair face and bright eye will send him .to that state from whose bourne no traveler ever returns with a full head of hair, and he will then plow Beck and raise cane for a livelihood. . V William King Edward James, reared in Howard College, is to go to South America and preach to the heathen until the last barrier is broken' down and the whole land is literally covered with Baptist churches. No man, of the same size, ever had higher .ideals and fewer possibilities. Gifted in oratory, and excelling in missionary zeal, I predict for him' a career which will put to shame that of Augustine or Saint Patrick. His work among the heathen completed, he will retire to his native land and spend the remainder of his days in peace and quiet. . . To say that Jo Williams is a preacher is all that is-necessary. i.It is said that Howard has not sent out a greater orator since the days of Hawthorne. He excels in winning love and eating-chicken pie. When he finishes his studies, he expects to work, first, for a wife, and second, for a job. This accomplished, he will never stop this side of a D.D. As a proof of his love-filled intellect, he says that All is lovely when your love loves you. Q . Red Sorrell is not a preacher. Born to have a good time, he expects to die with the same end in view. He loves ease and contentment, and may, when he reaches the age of accountability, hit upon some profession foreign to work. He has thought of being a farmer, and intends to go into the matter a little more closely at his leisure. No further prediction can be made, more than that whatever happens to him, he will always be theisame old Red, and will always be Rough-on-Rats. ' 'Lady Hoffman, because of his charming personality, will always be the favored creature of those who love him most. ,He is a preacher and never tires of mak-ingupastoral calls. He is to go to China, and build up a great Theological Seminary, because of his Oriental appearance. His work willbe successful, judging from his ability to master the laws of eti- quette. ' ' S ' ' One 'characteristic of Howard boys is that they always expect to be of some value in the world. Dick Kelly is no exception 'to the rule. He has all the qualities that go to make up a boy. He has wonderful business tact, and considers such questions as matrimony from a purely business point of view. In the matter of truthfulness there are fewof his intended calling who excel him. His ambition is to sit on the bench, and we predict that one day during the closing years of Underwood's second administra- tion, one of Howard's noblest sons will be Chief Justice. Great will be Dick ' ' A ' ' i ' Tom Smyly, a happy accident. 'His motto is, Do nothing to-day you can do to-morrow. His life is destined to be aicomplete comedy. He has many things to accomplish before he gets married, one of which is to find an opportunity. He expects to spend four years in some Theo- logical Seminary, taking athletics and never doing any of it. After this period of recreation, .he will preach for a living. Preacher Buzbee, during the last decade, has wrought many wonder- ful works in college. He goes forth in the strength of vigorous manhood, conquering and to conquer. His life will be a blessing to those who never come in contact with him. He hopes to write a book on German Script. It is hoped that he will continue to pay monthly visits to the barber. Squinty Dean, the pick of the flock, is already married, so perhaps this greatest burden is off his shoulders. He is somevvhat of au pulpit ora- tor, and prefers to be heard, rather than seen. Oft 1n the still hours of the night, When all the World Was lost ,in sleep, he pondered deep and pon- dered long, committing to his Wonderful memory the exact Words of many a page ofiHorace or of Schiller. But his Well, now, Professor has ceased to echo from Wall to Wall, and he goes outinto the World of action, Where he is least needed. - S Some men fall short of their aim in life, While others outstrip even theiriexpectations. Leon Gwin says that he is going to be a Doctor of Medicine. Probabilities are that he Will star on the football field of some Northern University beforenhe rolls ,many pills. Then he will return to the South, hunt a bride, and proceed to make the World. marvel at his skill in collecting bills. Such men as Gvvin are few, and are an economic necessity. 1 Father Lett is of the plain 'fhomespunl' type, and Well does he play his part in the affairs of life. If We are to judge the future of men by their fond expectations, he will one day be among the Seven Sages, but if We judge by facial appearance, not even the most venturesomely fool- hardy will predict Where Lett Will land. His redeeming featurepis that he spends his money freely, which adds much to his popularity. He is to spend his life Where there is least Work to do. f i Doctor Harris has been out of his teens for at least fifteen years. He is city bred and is much given to the exercise of his social capacities. He is to go to Johns Hopkins, Where he Will cultivate his pleasure-seeking inclinations and may study medicine. When he gets his diploma, if he ever does, he hopes to become a great patent medicine doctor. Many think that he is the real genius of his class, but he doesnlt mean to be. i If Sweety Oliver has ever told anyone what he intends to make of himself, it Was his best girl. The most remarkable feature in his makeup is aloofness from the professors. He says that he has been exposed to Latin, but never took it. In all probability, he will enter the arena of life with renewed energy, having recuperated during his four years' rest in college. He will sell sewing-machines for a living. No one can truthfully say what Tubby Bolen will do. To-dayihe is selling goods, to-morrow 'specializing in French, the next day, taking jo Y rides, etc. p His experience IS varied and he is fitted for anything that comes along, except Work. He is liked by all the boys known by all the irls. . r g He will probably spend the remainder of his old age in looking into the past and talking about What might have been. If he should decide to take upon himself the responsibility of making a living, his greatest con- solation Will be his old age, something less than 'forty-five. - Pap Swindall, a minister by profession, has probably done about all he Will ever do, except ponder over Theology and persecute the Saints. The greatest thing about Swindall is his undying patience, he having been in college so long that he calls the older members of the faculty Brother,Q' and the younger ones Son When he has educated his boys in Howard, he expects to remove to some country village and carry out his long-cher- ished plan of settling down in life. Senior Poem When we, the class of twelve, To col-lege came, We said, We'must learn, We must learn, We must learn now or never To live, to do, to be, i The best in us forever. Only a year had passed, Again the voice proclaimed, We must strive, We must strive, We must strive now or never, If we should fall from here , Our doom is sealed forever. . Again the year came round, Thevoice from, all did sound, We must grasp, We must grasp, We must grasp now or never The golden thread that draws Us up to realms more clever. Now at the top we stand, Murmuring with hand in hand We must part, We must part, We must now part forever, The ties that have bound us'- Novv distance must severf, The World may be friendly, And men may smile, We say, We must fight, we must fight, We must fight now and ever lf the crown We would Win Be bright and bright forever. ,fail 'V Ev ff? i A 'i Pi . , .

The Old Howard and the New HOSE who have looked on in only a casual way at the course of events happening at Howard during the past eight or nine years, and those who have viewed from a distance the progress of the college within that time can hardly conceive of the vast improvements that have been made. From time to time reports have been made at the State Baptist Conventions and yet it seems strongly probable that the Baptists of the State at large do not realize just what has been done for the college materially and by it educationally. On that assumption, it may perhaps not be untimely nor out -ofiplace at this time for one who has had ample opportunity to observe the ,continual upbuilding of the college within late years to report on some of the many notable changes in the appearance of the campus and grounds and inthe atmosphere and character of work done in college classes. , ' Une of the most distinctly markedidifferences in management relates to the state oficollege finances. Since the coming of Dr. Montague in the fall of 1902, aside from the funds going into the treasury for board and tuition paid by the students, the sum of SI39,4OO has been raised. I am using round numbers, for the purpose of these figures' is inspirational rather than statistical. The average amount raised, annually, outside of the col- lege revenues referred to above, has been S17,000,.quite a tidy sum and yet an amount that is not commensurate with the wealth and power of the Baptists of Alabama. A - - - Analyzing these figures we find that with the exception of about 33,300 yearly for current expenses, and the small sum of S300 for Sundries, all this money has gone for permanent improvement. The new President of the college interested himself first in erecting new buildings for better dor- mitory quarters and more class-rooms and a library. The rambling frame structure that stood three stories high on the left side of the campus as one approached the main building had for some years been given over almost wholly to the rats and to ruin. No building ever more fully de- served its nick-name of '4The Barn and it was practically worthless as a dormitory. Though to many it, was a historic structure, there were no Words of regret when it was pulled down in IQO2 and IW3 and Renfroe Hall erected in its stead. The new building cost 516,500 and is one of the best dormitories in the State, aswell as being a handsome structure and an ornament to the campus. just opposite the old Barn formerly stood an old tinder-box, known in those days as the Mess Hall. With this building were associated in thememories of the older Alumni of the college many of the most hu- morous and interesting episodes of the college days, but before the spirit of progress had made Renfroe Hall possible, the Mess Hall had to go. ln its place was erected at the cost of SI4,000, Montague Hall, one ofthe handsomest buildings of its size and purpose to be found in the South. In Montague Hall are two large, well furnished lecture rooms, the Biolog- ical Laboratory, the Library, and Assembly Room for Y. M. C. A. and Mission-Study Classes, and two handsome rooms used by student organiza- tions. lt might be mentioned just here that the initial cost of the Biolog- ical Laboratory was SI,250,, and that S500 has been spent for new books for the Library. Another sum of 31,250 went for sanitary plumbing in these two buildings. To those who have not visited the college for two years past a vast change would be at once noticeable even in just walking up on the campus. From friends in the city of Birmingham has been procured S2,200, and that amount.has been spent in grading and sodding the front lawn. Since last April the appearance has changed almost completely and those friends who wait until next Spring to visit the school will find as beautiful a lawn as the eye could wish for. A f Through Hon. William Jennings Bryan was procured from a Northern philanthropist the sum of 35500 to endow a scholarship, since known as the Bryan Scholarship. But the greatest financial achievement of the present administration has been the raising of 380,500 paid in Endowment Fund. It is hoped by the end of the year to complete the original amount aimed at, SIO0,000. With the accomplishment of thisigreat undertaking will Dr. Montague's name be most firmly and lastingly connected. Two other points should be mentioned in this brief record. For eight years past the standard of requirements for entrance to college 'classes and of credits in those classes has been steadily raised. Howard was from the Hrst a prominent member of the Association of Alabama colleges, and it ought to be a matter of pride that the courses of study are just as good in every way, and the standard just as high as that of any other literary college in Alabama. Howard is on the H14 Carnegie Unit Basis and her requirements for entrance are as high, and her diploma as good for advanced standing in Northern Universities, as those of 'any other college in the State. 4. It is further notable that more and more men are every year going from Howard to the great Universities, having caught while getting their A.B. degree the inspiration to more intensive and extensive study. The scope and purpose of this brief summary precludes dwelling further on this point, but surely it is no smallmatter for pride that Howard men are standing with the best graduate students of the North, and, in current commercial phrase, are everywhere making good. These are in brief compass some of the striking improvements made during .Dr. Montague's administration, and it may not unnaturally be hoped,that they will appeal to the pride and loyalty of the Baptists throughout the State. A great opportunity is theirs if they choose to avail themselves of it. . ' P. P. B., 'o4. . l What the Alumni of 191 1 are Doing' B. O. Bentley, editor-in-chief of ENTRE-NOUS IQIO-IQII, is this year with the Martin Drug Company, of Avondale. . Prof. the Rev. M. Cook combines his preaching with teaching near Greenville, Alabama. J. A. Deaver, While- holding the pastorate of the CumbC1'l21Hd P1'CSbY- terian Church in East Lake, is doing graduate Work at Howard and has good prospects of getting an A.M. this Commencement. J. E. Embry may soon be addressed as Esquire, for he entered the Senior Law Department at the State University last Autumn and is making a splendid record. ' E. WV. Hagood is doing good Work in his- first year at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. V ' ' lt would seem that R. K. Hood is not Without honor in his own country and among the old folks at home. They made him principal of the public school at Wedowvee this session. 7 M. W. Mimms is also at present numbered among .those whose delight- ful task it is to train the youthful thought and teach the young idiots how to shout. An excellent community near Jemisoni is his Held of action. That wonder of his class, Gregory Pinson, with his perfectly enor- mous avidity for learning is at the S. B. T. Seminary at Louisville and if it be not sacrilegious to lay a bet on a preacher, we will offer any odds that Gregory is keeping every Prof. on the jump finding enough work to even partially satisfy his craving to know. Another man who Will more than maintain the standard set at the Seminary by Howard men-and for generations it has been Howard men Who have set the pace there-is M. Rodgers. Such a pity there are no inter-collegiate debates for Rodgers to indulge in, and such a pity that the Seminary hasn't work of that sort to assign while Rodgers is there. Believe muh, he'd be some Winner. Five more members of the class of ,II are swaying the pointer and frowning from behind the teachers, desk. VV. L. Porter's desk is in the P1'incipal's office, Public School, Tuskegee, and the Way the -reports come he may preside there as long as he likes the people, for they doilike him. The High School at Ramer, Alabama, has Bunyan Smith and the pa- trons say they think themselves lucky in having secured him. J. VV. Vann is the assistant principal in the Cherokee County High School and his work is of a high orderuof efficiency. He is one of the Howard men who is helping to make the County High School a power- ful factor in State education. . Everybodyknew that B. H. Walkei' would make a brilliant record wherever he went. That's what he is doing as teacher of lVl'odern Lan- guages in Columbia High School. His position is a Hne one and he is filling the bill to the proverbial TW The last teacher in the bunch is Prof. W. Letson-f-it would not sound exactly respectful not to call Letson Professor He is still at Jasper, Principal of the High School and all the better for having dropped in and casually received his AB. last commencement. ' Straight business seems to have allured only two members of the class of ,II, Louey,' H.,Sessions whois banking at Ozark where Ozark is banking on him and his sunny smile, and M. .V.

FOVVLER XVS CI' 3113QIICfJHAT.I 'The City of Birmingham as It Is BY ETHEL ARMES ' Author of The Story of Coal and Iron in dZczba1ncz. IRNIINGHANI, pointedly different from other Southern cities, is a great workshop town-the coal, iron, and steel town of the South. lt is the center of an altogether extraordinary business activity and success, as an investment field for certain of America's greatest capitalists. Situated at the geographical center of the cotton belt of the South and at the very heart of Alabama's vast mineral region. It is builded in a valley of limestone buttressed on one side by a massive hill of iron ore-Red Mountain-and on the other by a mighty coal range-The Warrior Field. Thus the young city has, as 'f,tlf1'G:,fglft 'of nature, significant drawing powers in a commercial way, as well as a beauty and charm of locality, a fine quality of the picturesque. i Once when Marion Crawford came here to visit, he said that, in site and general topography, Birmingham was curiously like Italy's Florence, only Birmingham has a richer growth of forest, a wider reach of valley and hill range. Certainly the old Florentine manner of building homes all up and down the hillsides in sweet winding ways, has flown here at length from over-seas. Such hundreds upon hundreds of happy looking little homes to-day, bright and light among the very tops of trees like singing birds. And such hundreds upon hundreds of other houses down in the smoke on the way to the city, crouched around the furnace stacks, the old rolling mills, the cotton mill-lean and gaunt and stark and ugly, like a pack of hungry wolves. No other city in America, and certainly none in Europe, is formed directly on the surface of the raw materials which are its own feeders- coal, iron ore, and stone. Nowhere else in the world, indeed, saving perhaps in some remote undeveloped Asian territory, do such peculiar geological conditions prevail in such immense bulk, as here in the Bir- mingham district, where the combination of all of the materials for the economical manufacture of pig-iron and steel are in such close proximity as to be actually of one locality. With such basic advantages any place would become in time a power in the land. Through its natural forces then, and the activity springing up around them, this city of Birmingham has now become a power to be reckoned with in the commercial World-one of the great coming cities of America in embryo. Already it is the great pay-roll maker of the state, its bank- ing center, the everything that goes iFully 75 per cent. of the railroad traffic of Alabama is carried by the Birmingham district' its to ' P , nnage is more than that of the entire' State of Georgia. Here too, are the head- quarters of the powerful companies and corporations, the site of hun- dreds of mi i ' ' ' ' l nng camps and mines, coal mines, iron ore mines stone 3 quarries, batteries of coke ovens, shops, mills, foundries, factories, fur- na d l ' ces, an stee plants. Here also IS the center of the petroleum and a . g S development of Alabama, the coming new business of the state It is through Birmingham, by means of the coal and iron industr' ies developed here, that Alabama itself has been lifted to its present high and important rank among the mineral producing states. Now it holds first la ' b ' - ' ' ' A p ce in rown ore production, third in that of red hematlte and third in total production, while it is third in coke, fourth in pig-iron, fifth ' l ' ' ' in coa, fifth 1n the manufacture of steel. These are the rankings which have given Alabama both national and international reputation Precisely those industries, which, in the United States represent the greatest money values, coal, iron, petroleum, natural gas, cement, marble, building stone, graphite and mica, are the important mineral resources f o Alabama and of the Birmingham district. The fact that here they are all at either an initial stage of development' or else wholly unde- veloped, is the reason for the immense and ever-growing significance, commercially speaking, to the South, and to the nation at large, of the State of Alabama and its great workshop city of Birmingham. As for the story of it all-how this city grew from what was in 1871, a smithy in an old corn field to what it is to-day-there is some great stuff for the telling in all of this. ' For complete history of Birmingham see The Story of Coal 81 Iron in Alabama. To begin with, it had, back of it in its conception, 'the sincere spirit. Its founder, John T. Milner, a civil engineer, was a man of distinctly patriot strain as is shown in his attitude during the Civil War and in all his works. CHe had not in the least the speculator notion mother of his dream.j He conceived the city in the late Eighteen-Sixties for a great workshop town as answer to the State's need. An idea then-so much to start with. It was then driven to fruit by a union of railroads, 'and fostered in its beginning by one man, stubborn, autocratic-your born speculator, James R. Powell, Colonel, whom they used to call The Duke of Birmingham, the extraordinary head of an extraordinary real estate concern known as the Elyton Land Company, which lVIilner originally projected. In the old days, the town was literally borne aloft on Colonel Powell's shoulders, hailing the universe with lNfillions in it. Caught eventually in barbed circumstances, the town fell, tripped on the' verge of.the pit of oblivion. Then came marching along the coal and iron captains., V The struggle of the progressive buisness man in Jefferson County was exceedingly difficult in theold days., The unprogressive,Ale,t-well-enough- alone folk have had to be reckoned with at every stage of. the game, together with the fusing elements of many an unscrupulous business ad- venturer, speculator, politician, such as have bred the Fee System, the old Aldermanic rule, the shot gun system, the kill a nigger slogan, all the protean shapes of graft-the sewer and the trash pile generally- and the never-ceasing cry, No public spirit. 1 That cry is general- No public spirit heref' ,Nearly every citizen, especially the new-comer, shouts it aloud. And he will very likely add, his home is not Birmingham, but Atlanta, or,New Qrleansl or Chicago or Kalamazoo, and he hopes to get-back some day. Q . ,I We hope he will. . , V There4right there-is a thing to tackle. If the people who flock here-and they certainly do flock-will just step quietly into line and give the young town they expect to get their bread from, some individual boosting 'of the right order, that is, a few honest kicks and then a helping hand-each .do ,a bit of constructive work on his own account and see to striking rootsinto the soil, that indefinite, something called public spirit will come about one of these days. p , .Theuplace is naturally the very embodiment of change. With so many and such diverse communities,,old and new, with such an influx of strangers, struggle, competition, warring elements of every sort' and kind, it would hardly have been possible for Birmingham to have achieved co-operation or community feeling. The lesson of organization comes hard after many years of laisez-fairs. Things have to come up gradually, the accumulation of elements before' crystallization. But they have now come. u, u ' ' All is here to be madefresh and newfmade right if they will. The birth of civic spirit isiat hand. Shall the city continue to be merely a by- product of the industrial companies, a vast ,collection of houses, streets and people, is for the people of Birmingham to say. Toi understand at least that here is home-home for keeps-thatis the first thing, the first thing and the last. And the ,voice of Birmingham calls aloud to Lhosei, who would adventure to-day' in America, Come and adventure ere. A All along Red Mountain which was once the Indian'sihunting ground and their treasure place for dye rock, :there stretches now from Bir- mingham to Bessemer a I5-mile chain of mines, slope, shaft and strip- ping, out of which comes the ore, feed for thegblast furnaces. - Within very gun-shot distance of the Tennessee Company's great Musckoda group of ore mines, once owned by Debardeleben, is the site of old Fort Jonesboro 41813-15.5 Where now the town of Thomas, is gathered under the warm shadows of the Republic Iron and Steel Company's blast furnaces, was once a cotton plantation belonging to Old Marse Haw- kins. And out of what was once upon a time a rose garden have grown the huge stacks of the Woodward Iron Company. .p ' Standing on the ore-rimmed crest of the long iron hill one can see, the whole, of greater Birmingham stirring in the valley. There is first his- toric Old Jonesboro,-what is left of it-earliest of the pioneer settle- ments of Jefferson'Countyg then Bessemer, the city of furnaces, founded by DeBardelebeng the furnace towns and mining towns of Woodward, Wylam, Thomas, Pratt City, Powderly and the city of Ensley, wherfe the giant brood of furnaces and the steel plant of the Steel Corporation strike high against the sky line. Then the new model city Corey' and the great wire mills and' coke plants of the Steel Corporation, the little residence suburbs of Owenton, West End, Earle Place, and Elyton, once the old market town of Jones valley,-the growing suburbs of North Bir- mingham, Norwood, East Birmingham, The North Highlands, The South'Highlands, the railroad town of Boyles, the cotton mill- town of Avondale, the little City of Woodlawn, once Wood's' Station, treading back to pioneer times, Gate City, site of the Republic Compan'y's rolling mill, now 'dismantled,4yonder, all along the valley, they swing fromleft to right, clear to the residence 'suburbs of East Lake, the site of Howard College and Roebuck Springs, and way off into the coal fields, to a min- ing camp, over the hills and far away. ' ' ' ' There are days, when, at sunset time everything is drawn in lines of gold and opal, oriis massed in colors, of mother-of-pearl against the Western sky. Then, dark coming, thousands of lights suddenly 'blossom' in the valley. All the places speak their names in lights, big lights! or little lights. A golden arch quivers over 'Ensley,'the city of the great steel plantl It is quick with glancing shapes-armour for fighters, thun- derbolts, chariots and winged shoes. Out of its fiery heart, in among the smouldering batteries of coke ovens and all the giant iron-makers, move slowly, like a dark shaggy cloud, a world-old figure-Hephaestus. 1 Breathing hard upon this city of his work, he lifts his tired eyes to the fair hillside, so quiet, so fresh, so alluring, under the stars-Aphro- ditel And lol his force and fire are over her. Ah, how the sweet drows- ing hill burns in the warm midnight under the iron god's'breath. Their precious union, the dream of a million years. 1 v Wfw A YIEXVS OF EAST LAKE The Conqueror Conquered p a HANKSGIVING day arrived, cold and snappy-fidealfootball - weather. - ---- 5 n . A A All eyes were turned toward Castle Field,efor there the annual game between the football teams of Miami -and New Castle would be pulQed off that very afternoon., ' A ' i The teams appeared to be about evenly matched, and for this reason and the fact that the championship of the Stateawould go to- the victor, entnusiasm was at high pitch. I The Miami team had arrived the evening before, accompanied by a yelling, cheering multitude of rooters, who with flaring pennants and tooting horns made life a misery for the elderly people of the town. it was truly a gala day in every sense of the word. Everyone was on the qui vive, and as the morning wore away, dreadfullyslow it seemed+ the excitement grew in intensity. Here and there overthe campus, knots of animated students gathered to expound their views on the strength and chances of the teams. lt was the one absorbing topic for discussion. Never had so much interest been shown, and never was-there 'such a diversity of opinion as to the final outcome of the game.. ', . i Over in the big dormitory, there was one, however,iwho of all others looked withiblank despair at thehour hand as it moved steadily,-and as it seemed to him,'faster than ever before toward the hour when the referee's whistle would set the teams in motion. It was Kent Griflith, varsity full-back and captain of the home team. Before him on the table lay a letter, toward which he now turned with. an almost savage expression. His greataframe quivered as heibit his lip to force back a sob. ' - V Q- ' 'A ,V Again he took the letter and perused its contents, with one lastlinger- ing hope that there was some mistake, that it was ajoke after all. But there was no mistake. It read: 4 P , HMY DEAR KENT :--I have just returned from my trip West, and learn through the papers that you are 'starring' on the football team, which is expressly against my wishes. I have always regarded football as a very brutish game, and have pledged myself time and again that never shall one of mine take part in it. V - W Prior to your father's death last year you played with his permission, for which I raked him roundly at the time, but of course could go no further, but l need not remind you of the fact that it is l who am now putting you through college, and in consequence of this you must and shall be governed by my Wishes. If yOU Plal' another game: You mal' pack your grip and return home immediately. I-Turthemore, since I would regard such an act on your part as one of gross disobedience to myself, I would not ponder a minute over severing connection with you and cutting you out of my will entirely. - Hoping that you will regulate yourself according to my wishes, KC I am, . Your affectionate uncle and guardian, I , - , HIOHN T. GRIFFITHK' It was too true! He crumpled the letter between his great palms and threw it in the farthest corner of the room. His head sank in his hands. Two months previous to this, Kent Grillith had entered upon his second year at New Castle, with every degree of success from a college standpoint, staring him in the face. The fascinating spirit which per- vades the realm of football had touched him then, and with the opening of the season this year had caught him fairly and firmly, with the result that it was only a short time until he was recognized as one of the best men on the team, and had been duly elected captain. It was he who to- day was expected to' snatch a victory and the championship from the strong rival team, whose goal had not as yet been crossed. And too, there was more at stake. The image of a dark-eyed, rosy- cheeked maiden ilitted before his vision. It was partly, yes, largely, she who' had spurred him on to make the effort of his life. This, the final and greatest day of all, he had long since selected to accomplish the feat. He remembered when they had last conversed how, when he had spoken pessimistically concerning the outcome of the game, she had lifted her face to his and in her own little way had said: You are wrong, Kent, I know you can, you must! The last two words had lived with him since that moment. They had given him new hope. Under their influence he had felt himself growing stronger every day for the fray. The victory that must come meant vastly more to him than any college fame that might fall to his lot. There was Benton, his worthy rival on the rival team to be reckoned with. These thoughts swept through his brain with lightning rapidity. He started from his reverie as the last one died away. I must, he uttered under his breath. But, at this moment his eye fell upon the crumpled letter in the corner. , He pictured himself leaving college, and with it, all the plans and am- bitions he had cherished so long. ' Yes, he could play the game and afterwards beg forgiveness, thought he. But he crushed the thought before it was fully formed. He was too much of a man for that. ' There Was nothing left to do. Kent Griffith was resolved. It was with a heavy heart that he made his way to the big Gym., where his fel- low players had already gathered to go through the final signals before the game, which was now scarcely an hour off. The hearty slaps on the back' and the good-natured exhortations on the part of his fellows to hurry into his football togs, brought a big lump into his throat, and it was with some difficulty that he finally stammered out, I can't, fellows, and with that slipped out of the door and disappeared from their sight. The consternation which at first seized the players, held them spell- bound for the moment, then changed to chagrin and soon to anger. Griffith was out of the game! It was preposterous. He must be found and forced to play! ' But the hour approached for the game, and Kent Griffith remained as completely swallowed up as if he had stepped into a fahtomless crater. No trace could be' found of him. Despite the precautions of the coach, the ill news leaked out fast, and New Castle stock took a tumble. All was lost 'with Griffith out of the game. This was certain to everyone who knew the prowess of the big full-back. a Long before the hour of play, a great holiday throng, representatives of both institutions and friends and enthusiasts from the neighboring towns overflowed the grounds. The long tier of seats from top toqbottom was one broad expanse of fluttering ffags, moving canes and flying rib- bons. ' ' .- . As the warriors of the gridiron trotted out upon the field a mighty shout went up. Above all, far down the line, a fierce battle cry rang out sharp and clear. Bum a la, Bum a la Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah! Chic a la, Chic a la, Cha, Cha, Cha, Cha, Miami, lVfiami',l Who are we? N. C.'! Ra, Ra, Ra, Ri, Through 'em in a hurry Varsity! came back defiantly. Then the whistle blew, and the game was on. . Seated far up among the spectators was a slender, girlish figure that vied with the lustiest rooter in her demonstrations. In vain had' she looked for the familiar figure of Kent Griffith. She wondered why he did not appear. What could be the trouble? Once she let fall the cane in her hand. But, there was Benton, playing hard. After all it didn't matter so much, yet her heart throbbed, she knew not exactly why. A battle royal was being enacted in the arena below. It was nip and tuck. Up and down the field they raced, each side fighting desperately for every inch of ground. Soon, however, a change was noticed, which caused fear to leap within the hearts of the New Castle supporters. Slowly, but steadily, the lusty Miami veterans were pushing toward New Castle's goal. ' Oh, for Griffith, was the almost universal sigh of the New Castle rooters. Time after time the substitute full-back attempted passes through the seemingly impenetrable Miami line. Ten yards more were clipped off, placing the ball on New Castle's thirty yard line. Then with clocklike regularity Miami recommenced ,her triumphant march. .Five yards! Ten yards! And then a wild tumult followed, as a daring Miami runner skirted left end for the first touchdown. 5 ' The failure to kick goal made the score 5 to 0 at the end of the Hrst half, and New Castle's hopes went glimmering. y ln the meantime Kent Griffith was fighting a battle of his own over on the spacious campus of which he was now sole possessor., The cheer- ing which reached his ears from the distant field sent the hot blood cours- ing through his veins. lVlore than once he started violently toward the scene of battle, only to clench his fists and face about inthe opposite di- rection. He well knew that presence on the field meant death to his de- termination. A lull of some minutes, which seemed hours to him, then a babble of voices, told him that the second half was on. Up and down the broad walk he strode, sometimes half running. He tried to shut out the noise from his ears, but in vain. i He turned this way, he turned that way. But everywhere were trees, and every tree seemed a goal post. He pictured the very birds in the air as fiying pig-skins. But his Watch told him that only a few minutes remained for play, and then would the temptation be removed and he the conqueror would be. At this moment a gust of wind blew against his temples, and with it -' sounded the clear and unmistakable tones: Bum a la, Bum a la, with a sharp ring of triumph, it seemed to him. A , I Nor did he wait for more. U '.Back on the field all was nervousness and excitement. New Castle, with a dogged determination had succeeded in holding her opponents during the greater part of the half, but now again did that'-steady irre- sistible advance of the unbroken Miami line begin. Down the field it moved, sweeping all before it. Eager for another touchdown before the time was up, the captain of the Miami team intrusted the ball to his fleet left end. b The mighty war cry of lVIiami broke forth as the runner darted around right end from New Castlels forty yard line. But he was downedon the twenty-five yard line. ' ' Both tackler and runner lay where they had fallen. A sigh escaped the New Castle throng as quarter back Bush was lifted and borne from the field. Then as the crowd settled back, confident that the victory was Miami's, a lone figure appeared running, far down at the eastern entrance of the field. . ' On it came! Nearer, nearer. That figure was familiar. The New Castle rooters arose in their seats. It was Griffith to the rescue. ' Six minutes remained for play. I ' Again the two teams crouched low for the final assault. Twice was Miami downed in her tracks in as many minutes, and the forced' punt was blocked. A New Castle man fell on the ball. E ' An intense silence settled over the vast throng. 'T A The timekeeper nervously fingered his watch. Seven! Nine! Eleven!-A clash, a confused mass of human bodies, a blinding dust,-and, out of it all emerged the stalwart figure of Kent Griffith. Swerving to the right and then to the left, he sped with terrinc' speed down the field. One!-two of Miami's ends passed safely. Une lone man remained between the flying runner and the goal! 'lt was Ben- ton, the surest tackler on the Miami team. ' The noise was deafening in the crowd. Bentonwwas seen to lean far out, his feet left the ground, and- They crash! No! Griffith had fairly leaped over the flying tackler. A touchdown for l New Castle! Pandemonium reigned.

' 1 -Noor' ' HE founders 'of the college early recognized the necessity of Lit- erary Societies, and to this end two societies were established, the Philomathic in 1847, and the Franklin in 1858. , The societies have for their purpose the giving to every student an opportunity to familiariie himself with the action of deliberative bodies, and to help him to acquire ease and grace in speaking, in short, to make successful debaters and pleasant orators. The regular weekly meetings are held on 'Saturday nights, and at these meetings are discussed all the important questions which are of interest to both the social and political world. During the months of February and April, the societies hold their public anniversary meetings. The society spirit reaches a high pitch, when, in theimonth of December, the challenge debate between the two societies is held. On this occasion each society is represented by two of its ablest debaters. Last year a challenge was given to Auburn for a debate, which was accepted. In this debate the Franklins were represented by M. Rogers, while G. S. Pinson represented the Philomathic. Notwithstand- ing the fact that Auburn was well represented, Howard's speakers showed the greater skill, and were awarded the decision. In the Fall of 1902, the Alabama Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Associa- tion was organized, in which association the Alabama Polytechnic Insti- tute, Southern University, and Howard College each have one repre- sentative. This representative is chosen from one of the literary societies. To represent the college is not only a great honor, but, in addition, a nice gold medal is awarded the winner. ' 1 To encourage debating, the Honorahle Walker Percy, of Birmingham, gave last year to the best debater, a S30 medal, which was won by W. Rigell. ' A ' ' -' Among the ,medals awarded at Howard are the following: Sophomore, Junior, New lVIan's, one from each society, Walker Percy, and U. D. C The Howard College Literary Societies have Worthy representatives in every walk of life. In the ministry, such men as Dr. B. Hawthorne Dr. Sampey, Dr. Hale, of Louisville, Ky. In the medical profes- sion: Dr. W. Bell, of New York, Dr. D. Heacock, of Birmingham Ala., Dr. E. P. Hogan, Professor in the Birmingham lVIedical College, Dr. W. My Wilkerson, of Montgomery. As educators, such men as Dr. D. S. Lyons, Professor of Semetic Languages in Harvard Universityg A. Moon, Professor of Greek and Latin, Howard College, H.

S. Cox, founder of Cox College, College Park, Georgia. Delegates from Ala- bama Polytechnic Institute, Southern University, and-Howard College met in Nlontgomery and effected the organization, the purpose of which is to ,develop a friendly rivalry between theicolleges in the cultivation of oratory. E Under this organization an oratorical contest is held each year, each of the three institutions havingone representative. A handsome gold medal, donated by Dr. Cox, is awarded the winner, who is then given the privilege of competing in the Southern Inter-Collegiate Uratorical Contest. ' 7 The first contest was held in lVIontgomery in the spring of 1903, and Howard was represented by P. C. Barkley. The next year Howard was the host of the speakers, the contest being held in the college auditorium. This time O. Colley spoke for Howardf The following year found the speakers engaged in contest in the auditorium of Southern University at Greensboro, and Howard's representative was F. M. Payne. Then' the A. P. I. at Auburn entertained the orators, and herauditorium was the scene of contest. At Auburn VV. A. Jenkins represented,Howard. Again the contest came to Birmingham and was held in the High School auditorium, and A. Cook won the medal for Howard. He added yet another victory for his Alma Nlater by winning the Southern contest at Mont Eagle, Tenn. For three years then Selma had the contest, and much interest was manifested, especially by our sisters from the Judson. I. A. Prescott was the first speaker to represent Howard in Selma, and he was followed by NI. E. Nettles, who was a winner. In the last con- test held in Selma H. G. Grant was Howard's representative. After three years of absence, Birmingham was again the host of the contest, which was once more held in the High School. auditorium. R. K. Hood was Howard's speaker. This year Nlontgomery is to entertain, and T. VV. Smyly will represent the Crimson and Blue. A 1 l ,.x,. Franklin-Philmnathic Debaters A. C. ANDERSOSF1 . ' 4: D . Franklin J. E. DEAN .' . .

In the face of great odds and , gigantic difficulties the showing was made. ' We were very fortunate to have Dr. Longwell return to us as our coach. His work deserves much merit and praise, and, without a doubt, Dr. B. Longwell ranks among the very best of football coaches in the South to-day. At the beginning of last season, only a few of the former Varsity re- turned, and a team could not be put into proper shape early in the season, with only a few old men and few new men of promise. Despite these opposing odds, a fairly goo-d bunch of fellows were gotten together by the last of September. Their late. arrival made it impossible for Dr. Longwell to get them into condition by September 30th, when we played our first game of the season with Alabama. For three quarters, the Baptist Tigers held the Thin Red Linen to one measley touchdown. Then, the lack of condition, due to short training, showed up and Ala- bama made several more scores. But the Howard boys showed in the first game plenty of grit, and all the season lived up to this standard. After this game the following teams were played during the four suc- ceeding weeks: Georgia Tech., Mississippi's A. Sz M., Clemson, Tulane. All of these were defeats for Howard, but not mingled with disgrace. Unly think of Howard competing with these much larger institutions, and you would not expect any better showing than we made, as we played Hve such hard games at the beginnning of the season. On November Ioth we pulled off a scoreless affair with Southern University. On No- vember I7th followed a brilliant game with Birmingham College, result- ing in a victory for us. The season ended in Macon on Thanksgiving with a victory for Nlercer. After taking a retrospective glance over the past season, we see that Howard put out a team strong on the defense, but not so strong on the offense, this being due to inexperience. They displayed superior coaching to most of the teams they met. Among the bright, bright stars who donned the pigskin togs the past season were, Berry, Brantley, Taylor, Tisdale and Zielminski. Berry, the Captain, played a good game all the year, although in bad condition much of the time. Brantley also played a splendid game at all times, being a valuable man on both offense 'and defense. Taylor, Captain-elect, showed more form as an offensive player. Tisdale, on end, although a new man, played one of the best games of any in his department and punted fairly Well. Zielminski proved to be stronger on the defense than on the offense, this being due to his lack of Weight. Gvvin, at tackle, early rounded into shape and played a consistent game all the season. Lett played a good center. lVli'lls, Garner, Murphy, Stodghill and Wingo, on the line, and Kelly,in the back field, played good ball also. .Next season the following teams will probably be played: Marion, Al- bertsville, Clemson, lVIercer, Birmingham College, University of Ten- nessee, Mississippi College, and Tulane. Prospects for the next year are bright. Dr..LongWell is expected to return, as Will also many of last yearls Varsity. G ' . G. B. HASTY, '13. 1 j 5 W Q Z, g5 X 4 ix .q I XX ' AX: ASX NA.

ACTON Baseball, Retrospective and Prospective ARKING back across Howard's baseball history on any day when the harking is good--we make profound acknowledgment to Nlr. Samuel G. Blythe for thus using his phrase unknownst,', as it were, to himself-one's vision and harking apparatus must indeed be defective ,and in sad need of oiling and repair if it does not show looming large the name and fame of at least two great men, Frank Sparks, who at one time was doing his looming with the New York Nationals, and lVIac', Robin- son, who confined the dazzling splendors of his variegated assortment of curves to the somewhat restricted function of illuminating the premier league of the South. Each of these men was a wonder, in fact 'fsome wonderf' and when it came to being the original lights of their leagues they had the regular old everyday or garden variety of bright, .particular stars looking like blinking tallow candles in a Serbonian bog. - 4 Common report has it that it was Howard's baseball reputation that got the College in S. I. A. A., so it at once shows the relevancy of mentioning the two greatest twirlers who have had their college training on our dia- mond and whose after careers have reflected so much athletic radiance of their Alma Nlater. But it is not to be supposed that all our years were lean when Sparksiand Aflac were not in our gleaming, glittering' midst. On the contrary, as the sea-sick Frenchman replied when asked if he had dined. The season of IQII was glorious enough, bringing, as it did, a percentage of .666, and leaving, as it did, after the celebrated Auburn series, a red hand-painted record. on East Lake sidewalks and public build- ings that the gnawing rains of the next ten years cannot obliterate. Q-It was great: but next season greater things are promised. We are offering no explanation nor apology for the present season. Quis' excuse, s'accuse. Yet we do say that the present outlook leaves us no reason to doubt that next. season we shall outdo even the best we have done, and we are looking to turn out another Sparks and another Mac Robinson.

XVYATT Y. M. C. A. s HIS organization has long been at Howard, and has come up through many hard fights, it was once discontinued for two years, but was reorganized and has been active -for the past four years. YVe meet on Nfonday nights and devote about an hour to the program. This is the only organization in the college which endeavors to get all the boys to attend and has a moral and spiritual purpose in view. The Y. NI. C. A. has for its purpose the development of the religious life and fostering a spirit of brotherhood among the boys. We strive to promote all departments of college life thatwill be benehcial to men in college. It is our aim to bring every boarding. student in college to Christ, as well as to develop the spiritual. life ofthose who are already Christians. Frequently socials are given, and thus the boys come in con- tact with the young ladies of the town. This adds much pleasure and enjoyment to college life. The topics of the meetings are such asnwill' appeal and interest young men largely. All of them, however, do not relate strictly to religion, but to some questions of moral import. Our location here makes it possible for us to secure much aid from outside men, such as pastors' and prominent laymen of Birmingham. Members of the Faculty often deliver us very instructive lectures. Es- pecially benelicial and helpful have been the lectures delivered to us by Dr. Nfacon on the subject of The Purity of Young Men. But the most inspiring meetings are those rendered. by the members themselves. A mission class meets for the period of one hour one afternoon in every gfeekhto study certain books. We are now studying 'fNegro Life in the out . The present outlook of the Y. M. C. A. is indeed encouraging. A few of the best workers will graduate this year, but still we will have a goodly number of enthusiastic workers. Qur organization is on a bet- ter working basis now than ever before. We hopeby the Spirit of the Lord to be able to make the college air pure and wholesome, and to have a Christ-like student body. .. .5.,,Y if . A ' ' so 'Newton Club NIOTTO: Nil mortalibus arzlui est?
