For 1910. the jubilee year for the founding of Simpson College, the Field Secretary presents to the Trustees this plan of campaign to be conducted from 1905 to 1910 to raise funds as set forth below: First: The raising of a fund the undirected subscriptions of which shall be applied— a- To the paying of the entire indebtedness of Simpson College. b. To the raising of the Endowment Fund to at least $250,000.00. Second: The raising of a special fund to build the new Auditorium, to cost at least $40,000.00. The above plan was approved by the Board of Trustees and adopted by the Des Moines Conference and is now being active- ly pushed. 21 College History BLUEBIRD. HALL we say that Indianola was predestined to be a college town? When we consider how early in the history of the village the idea of a school of higher learning was cherished, and with what faith and persistence those pioneers clung to it, in the face of difficulties and discouragements, we can hardly think other- wise. Not later than 1854 a building was erected for a seminary, two blocks east of the southeast corner of the public square, the lower story being paid for by the school district, the upper story by the citizens. This school was conducted 1855-57 by Chas. Griffith, and continued by “fits and starts” until i860, when the history of our institution really begins. At its first session, the Western Iowa Con- ference, in response to a petition from the quarterly conference of Indianola Station, ordered that so soon as the citizens of Indianola should erect and pay for suitable buildings worth at least three thou- sand dollars, the conference should accept the same, assume control, and give its patronage. In the above mentioned building the school opened in September, i860, with E. W. Gray, A. M., of Iowa Wes- leyan, as principal. It was given the euphonious name of “Indianola Male and Female Seminary” by the board, of which Rev. E. M. H. Fleming was president, Dr. IE S. Noble, vice president, Rev. J. C. 22 Reed, secretary, and Hon. Geo. W. Jones, treasurer. The first catalogue shows an enrollment of 184 students, unclassified, and varying in age from six to twenty or twenty-five. It also contains the following information: ‘‘The price of tuition ranges from $2.75 to $5.50 per term in the Preparatory Department, and from $6.00 to $9.00 in the Academic Department. Instruction in the Normal De- partment, extra, $1.00 per term. Modern Languages, Drawing and Painting and Music at mod- erate prices extra. In all cases payment in advance. Parents and guardians arc ad- monished that students do not need spending money. Hoarding in private families from $1.50 to $2.00 per week. Students can ar- range to board themselves for about one-half these prices, and those who are near enough to bring their provisions from home, need, in this way, incur but a trifling expense pver what it would cost them at home to live. The daughters of all ministers of the Gospel who are regularly employed in pastoral work, will be admitted to all classes of the regular course at one-half the above prices of tuition. Also the daughters of ministers deceased.” Although today parents could hardly be convinced that their “sons and daughters do not need spending money,” the school has never fostered extravagance. Plain clothing is the rule, and there have always been many self-supporting students who pay their way by- manual labor, suffering thereby no loss of esteem. Prof. Gray’s so- journ extending over but one school year, he left but a faint impress. All we can learn of his subsequent career is that he was surgeon of an Illinois regiment in the Civil War, having studied medicine before he came to the Seminary. About the same year—’61—Geo. W. Jones and Dr. Isaac Windle, brothers-in-law, when surveying their addition to the town, gave to the Seminary that part of the grounds now forming the southwest corner of the campus. A like plot of three acres on the southeast was soon afterward purchased and George E. Griffith gave six acres on the north. The citizens subscribed $4,500 with which a brick building was erected, called by the students “The Bluebird” on account of the color it was painted. As it lasted but little more than ten years, it must have been of flimsy construction. It was .38x48 feet square, 23 ruo stories above the basement, and stood directly south of the present site of Ladies’ Hall. During its building the school was held wher- ever it could find shelter, E. H. Winans being principal. The fol- lowing year he was both principal of the school and pastor of the church, U. P. Golliday, the pastor sent by the conference, having ac- companied the Thirty-fourth Iowa to the field as chaplain. Prof. Winans was also from Iowa Wesleyan. Besides his school and church duties he found time to canvas for photograph albums, and this evidence of thrift gave omen of his future, as he is now a rich man, living in California. CLASS OF 1872. From 1863 to 1866 the school was in charge of Prof. O. H. Baker, a graduate of Indiana Asbury University, now DePauw. Owing to the “unsettled” feeling caused by the war, the board resigned the building to Prof. Baker to carry on the school for what he could make from it. These were the days of the curfew, which curtailed the pleasure-seeking of the guileless student at 7 p. m., and of other rules which might now be considered infringements of personal lib- 24 erty. Mrs. Baker and her sisters, the Misses Ridley, ably assisted her husband in bringing the school safely through this crisis. Prof. Baker afterward spent many years among us as teacher and editor, and is now United States consul in Sidney, Australia. From September 1866 to February, 1868, Rev. S. M. Vernon, of Iowa Wesleyan, was at the head of the school. It was during his administration that the conference raised the grade of the school, and it was given the name “Simpson Centenary College,” the word “Cent- enary” being dropped in 1884. Bishop Simpson visited his name- sake on twoi or three occasions, but his contributions to its mainten- ance were small. When Dr. Vernon resigned in February to take a pastorate in Pennsylvania, Prof. W. E. Hamilton filled his place tr. the end of the year. Dr. Vernon has remained in Pennsylvania, a minister and writer for religious papers. His successor, Dr. Alex- ander Burns, was much more a college man. A native of the Emerald Isle, he was educated in Canada, and when elected to this presidency, was a professor in Iowa Wesleyan. During his first year the total attendance was 161, and during his last, 178, though in 1875-6 there were 297. This includes 38 law students, the department having been added in that year, and continuing to 1880 as an adjunct of Simpson, though located in Dcs Moines. In the five years the law graduates numbered 95. The citizens had, in 1867, under the leadership of Hon. Geo. E. Griffith, subscribed funds for the erection of the chapel building. The contract was let for $17,500, but the final cost was much more. It was completed and dedicated in October, 1870. Two literary so- cieties, the Everett and the Zetalethean, were organized in 1868, and the Smithsonian, named after its patron the Rev. D. N. Smith, of Burlington, in 1876. For some years the catalogue stated that “these societies have large and elegantly furnished halls,” but, because of a change of standard in furnishings, or an appreciation of the force of adverbs, this glowing description no longer appears. A graduate whose entire course was under the presidency of Dr. Burns gives us the following estimate of him: “A man in the early prime of life, of medium height and weight, of Irish parentage, the fair dark-haired type; a man whose abounding vitality and tense ner- vous energy were seen at a glance; a man of genial yet commanding presence, possessing a quick sense of humor, a keen and caustic wit, boundless tact, great eloquence and scholarship so broad and deep that 25 its limitations were never approached by any of his students, whatever demands they might make upon it. He was a court of last appeal up- on any and all subjects. His is a name to conjure with among a large number of middle-aged people, today. ‘You were at Simpson in Dr. Burns’ time?’ That is the formula. Then will follow anecdotes and reminiscences, winding up with eulogies of the good old times and Dr. Burns. To us all, it seems a great privilege to have been with him. He set before us the highest ideals,he strengthened faltering courage, aroused ambition and fostered self-respect and confidence. His students invariably treated him with the greatest respect. Some say that to do so was in accordance with the spirit of those times; it may have been in part due to the sarcasm, pointed with wit, which was his ever ready weapon in time of need; but, more than all, it was the result of his own treatment of his students. The statement with which he began each term: ‘There are no rules of conduct gov- erning the students of this institution other than those rules which govern ladies and gentlemen everywhere,’ was the key-note of his policy.” Another of his graduates notes the fact that the students were sons and daughters of pioneer families, and came for the purpose of an education, came unacquainted with college life, many of them with only the crudest ideas of social amenities. She thinks they were not sa easily governed as at present, and that the great respect they had for Dr. Burns was the ruling force. Certainly the respect and affection of students for the president and teachers has always been a source of strength. One of Simpson’s great advantages over larger institutions is the character of her fac- ulty and their close association with the students. Their interest is not bounded by the walls of the classroom, their friendship and sym- pathy is freely given. Dr. Burns’ presidency of ten years has been the longest, so far, in the history of the school. He spent the remainder of his life at the head of a girls’ school in Canada. For some years there was constant agitation on the part of capi- talists in Des Moines, seconded by Dr. Burns, for the removal of the college to that city. This, together with the financial crash of ’73, caused a marked decrease, both in contributions and in the number of students. All friends of the school, however, had confidence in the ability of the new president, Dr. Thomas S. Berry, to “wring vic- 26 tory from defeat.” He was a man of 37, had served as lieutenant of the 114th Illinois, and been taken prisoner at the battle of Guntown in June, 1864, nearly losing his life in a southern hospital from the effects of a wound in his hip. He had afterwards graduated from Northwestern University at Evanston, and entered the ministry, where he at once took his place in the front ranks. It was at the end of his first year as pastor of the church at Indianola that he was elected president. The position was not an enviable one—the cour- age of the soldier was needed for. the task. On account of the precarious condition of the college, President Berry called the class of 1879 to his room, frankly stated the case, and offered them their credentials if they wished to go to another school to graduate. Upon consideration, they resolved and recorded in their class minutes, that they would stand by the college “as long as there was a plank left to stand on.” All honor to class ’79! The next year, class ’8o considered the advisability of making a change but largely through personal loyalty to President Berry, who was even then dying, they decided to stay. President Berry being taken from us in February, the year was filled out by Edward L. Parks, A. M., B. D., of Northwestern University, whose presidency continued to 1886. Of less commanding appearance than Dr. Burns, he exerted by the dignity and earnestness of his daily life, an in- fluence no less potent. Beyond this we can say that no truer gentle- man, none more earnest in the work of building Christian character, has held a place in our faculty. He labored faithfully for the finan- cial welfare of the school, and succeeded in three years in raising money to pay the debt, then amounting to more than twenty thousand dollars. At the commencement of 1886 he resigned to take a profes- sorship in Gammon Theological seminary, where he remained till this year. He is now on the lecture platform. Dr. W. E. Hamilton, A. M.. of Iowa Wesleyan, who had occupied the chair of Mathematics from 1883, was now elected president. To the hosts of students and alumni who know and love this Nestor of our faculty, it is unnecessary to speak at length. His strong origin- ality, his clearness and simplicity of thought and expression and the patent fact that he exemplifies in his own life all his high principles make him a most delightful and revered teacher. He found the re- sponsibilities of the position so wearing, that in 1889 he resigned, to be followed by Edmund M. Holmes, Simpson ’8o, and Garrett Biblical Institute, who had been here four years as professor of 27 Greek. Dr. Holmes is well known as presiding elder of this district, and no words can enhance the esteem in which all hold him. Under his management the school grew, but the ministry drew him, and after three years’ service he also resigned. Fletcher Brown, Simpson and Drew, an old acquaintance as vice president of the school, was at the helm for six years. He looked closely to the interests of the school in all lines, being especially successful in finance. Science Hall, the Ladies’ Hall and the Hall of Electrical Engineering, now the men’s gymnasium, are monuments to his labors. Rev. J. B. Harris, beloved pastor of the church at Indianola for three years, was president for one year, taking upon his shoulders the business management of the school, while Dr. Hamilton, as dean, relieved him of the local work. President Shelton, of Iowa Wesleyan, took the reins in 1899. Of him and his management this volume speaks, and future volumes will tell of the progress made in his time, which, it is hoped, will cover many more years. The graduates from the regular collegiate courses of the college number three hundred and forty-eight; the number would be doubled if the graduates of other departments were catalogued. Most gratifying is the steady increase noted in the number of undergrad- uates, the Senior class this year boasting thirty-one members, the Junior, fifty. The alumni are thus divided as to occupations: Teachers and professors...................................... 63 Ministers ................................................... 49 Missionaries ......Ti • .................................... 13 Students .................................................... 15 Lawyers ................................................. 24 Editors ..................................................... 14 Farmers ..................................................... 10 Merchants .............................. ;.................. 7 Physicians .................. ....,. ;: v .................... 7 Traveling men................................................. 5 Civil Engineers .............................................. 4 Real estate agents............................................ 5 Druggists..................................................... 2 Banking .................................................... 2 Mothers and home-makers...................................... 69 Miscellaneous and unknown.................................... 33 Deceased .............. . . 26 Though still dependent on the loyalty and devotion of her friends Simpson is now on a firm foundation. The number of those friends is a better guarantee cf long life and prosoerity than the endowment of a millionaire, though that might not come amiss. 28 JUNIOR Suniors. Chester L.

Some of our I great English authors spent years in study and research upon some chosen subject before giving to the world their master- piece. We incline to the opinion that if they had chosen to write upon a subject of such magnitude as Class 1906, of Simpson College, they would have put in many more years in thought and meditation before expecting to do it justice, and there is a possibility that they would have refused to do it at all. Now it unfortunately happens that neither the vastness of intellect nor the requisite time for the adequate treatment of this subject are at hand. So, gentle reader, you must be content with a brief sketch of this splendid organization. We wish to say in the beginning that we vaunt not ourselves, neither are we puffed up; indeed our excessive modesty is our greatest fault. We believe fully, however, in the application of the adage: “Honor to whom honor is due,” and to this belief we owe our good opinion of ourselves. When we made our initial appearance at Simp- son early in September, '02, even the most casual observer would have been impressed, not only by our great personal beauty but by the evidences of intellectual development apparent in our manner and conversation. The hearts of the faculty were glad and they smote each other on the back, saying: “Lo, these many years we have waited for such a Freshman class as this.” And they straightway began to plan a new auditorium and to estimate the probable cost of a new carpet in the presidential sanctum. We held a class meeting, presently, as Freshman classes have done from the time whence the memory of man goeth not to the contrary, and organized ourselves under the symbol “ ’06”. This accomplished, w,c applied ourselves to the digging up of Greek roots and the study of Freshman algebra and first year chemistry with an energy worthy of a better cause. It may be that we were a bit frolicsome on divers and sundry oc- casions but the faculty felt that such ebullitions, due to health and good spirits could be forgiven a class of such exceptional intellectual 43 ability. We well remember once upon a time when coming forth from the ladies’ gymnasium, where we had been enjoying ourselves in our own peculiar way, we discovered our friends of a class now departed from Simpson, and some other people of a class not yet de- parted, in various attitudes on the prettiest grass plot in Southern Iowa and engaged in ve gay and giddy scrap. We arrived on the scene of battle at about the same time as did Prexie. We thirsted for combat. He didn’t. He was polite but firm and we solemnly withdrew. In such wise, toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, we completed our Freshman year. When we returned as Sophomores, we were not so strong, numeri- cally, perhaps, but as the months lengthened into terms, we came to have a better appreciation of ourselves and our own importance. We began to realize that we had among us mathematicians, scientists, philosophers and theologians of the first magnitude. The faculty dis- covered it, too, but forebore public mention of the fact in order to avoid the jealousies that might have arisen. In the winter we con- cluded that the basket ball trophy cup would look remarkably well trimmed in orange and black. As usual, we are right. It does. How- ever, we do not care especially about it, as we only wanted to prove that we are as excellent in athletics as in the curriculum. The events of our first two years in college were, after all, only a preparation. It is only as Juniors that we have come into the heri- tage of our full dignity, and we find that this dignity is sufficient even for our deserving. We are not compelled to angle for public recog- nition by wearing foolish-looking little square caps in public places, neither is it necessary that we argue on race tracks so strenuously as some we wot of, nor issue vain-glorious football challenges. All such subterfuges to gain notoriety are to us unnecessary. Our intellectual abilities and our exemplary behavior under all circumstances have made us well and favorably known to all. That we are orators of exceptional brilliancy has been proven times almost without number from the chapel platform. The records of our scholastic attainments are on file at the office and can be inspected by anybody that has the nerve to do such a thing. The basket ball cup, emblem of our ath- letic prowess, wears our colors for the second time. It would give us great pleasure to present to you some of the characteristics of the individual members of the class of ’06, but space will not permit. We assure you, however, that we do have character- istics. 44 In regard to the 05 Zenith which you hold in your hand, we re- quest that you give it your closest attention. It lias no moral, and can therefore be read in a hammock or any other undignified position. In closing we repeat, since you may have forgotten it, that Class '06 is the best ever. You may believe this statement implicitly, be- cause we say so ourselves and we ought to know.

HE Alpian Literary Society has always set aside selfish de- i|L sires and worked for the best interests of the college. This year the Alpians, seeing the need of another girl’s society, and realizing that the undergraduate body could not support an entirely new organization so changed their constitution that they are now an independent society of ladies. The growth of the society during the year has indeed been wonderful, the membership now numbering thirty-three. That the society still stands for the general literary development of all, and not for the encouragement of a few, might have been in- ferred from the Alpian-Kallonian debate, the Alpian Oratorical contest and the Alpian exhibition. The motto: “There are No Alps” is fresh in the mind of every loyal Alpian. 72 ALPIAN SOCIETY LoLoell Lyceum FOUNDED IN I 891. OFFICERS. ....President Pice President ....Secretary ....

W. C. A. SPRING HOUSE AND BOATS LAKE GENEVA. Geneva Conference. VERY year, the Young Men’s Christian Association sends a Ir” delegation of its workers to the Geneva Conference, which usually begins the week after Commencement. This is a trip that every young man should plan to take, if possible, some time during his college course, not only for the recreation that comes from spending ten days amid such delightful scenery, but from an educational standpoint as well. The conference is made up of delegates from all the colleges of the Central West, usually about five hundred being present. The boys all live in tents that arc scattered among the trees along the lake shore, and take their meals at the dining hall, which is under the management of the conference. The mornings are given to addresses by such great religious leaders and thinkers as John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, Dean Bosworth of Oberlin Seminar}', and Bishop Mc- Dowell, and to training classes in the various departments of Associa- tion work. The afternoons are given up to recreation and athletic contests and the evenings are devoted to life work meetings. These evening meetings are the ones longest remembered by the men. In them the claims and opportunities of the various professions are pre- sented by men who are leaders in the work that they represent. These meetings are held just at dusk on some grassy knoll that overlooks the lake, and it is here, while listening to the earnest appeal of some of the leaders of the conference, that hundreds of men have solved their life problems. One who has not attended this conference cannot realize the in- spiration to a higher and better life that comes of listening to these men, and from coming into close personal touch with their stalwart characters for ten days. Although most attention is given to the development of the spirit- ual life, other things are given their proper place. One evening is given over to a stunt program in which each state delegation tries to excel all the others in providing fun for the crowd. All who care to 103 do so spend the afternoons in athletic contests, while the others spend the time in boating or tramping through the woods along the lake shore, viewing the splendid homes that are located there. The trip is well worth taking just for the sake of the scenery that one sees, or the rest that comes from ten days spent in the pure air of the lake, but when the educational and religious features are added to this it makes a trip that one cannot fail to appreciate and the memory of it will be appreciated long after the college course is finished.

Greetings from the “fT)usics.” ( m E of the Conservatory, best known to you as the “Musics ' have some things to say to our friends, and our foes too. for that matter, but owing to a habit we have over in our building of all expressing ourselves at once, it is a problem how to so concentrate it that you who are not “of us” may understand and believe. We first want you all to know that in spite of the impression of chaotic discord you receive when you enter our little music-box, there is the greatest amount of harmony among us. We so believe in the spirit of peace and good will that we make a special study of har- mony. Think not, you who do not know, that we learn to har- monize notes only. We learn other, far better lessons than that. We learn as the year; goes on the value of each note of the chord in making an acceptable composition and we learn to compare the little harmony rules to other greater laws and to apply to our daily lives the conclusions. We learn also that music is not the performing of one or even several compositions, but an art which to comprehend, demands stren- uous brain work, faithful effort, endless patience and great sincerity of purpose. The art of music includes the science of sound, the most intelligent muscular development, a balanced mind carefully trained to observation of details, and the greatest amount of self- control to bring all these things into simultaneous action and present through them to the listener the spirit or word of which the whole is an expression. Of course there are many jumbles of notes written and even more played, which are ignorantly called music. But we no more claim that noise is a part of the art of music than is “hog-latin” like the study of Latin. A judgment of music from the racket so often produced by fingers or threats, is equally absurd to the judging of one of the above languages from the other. So much for the art. For what we do with it and the extent to which we abuse it, our screams and poundings speak louder than 106 words. But we have spent a most profitable and happy year here at Simpson and shall be proud to stand loyal to the Simpson Con- servatory, not only for her high grade of work in music, but for the many other valuable lessons she has taught us.

Daniel Robinson........................................ Major U. S. A., Instructor in Military Science and Tactics Edward H. Shuey........................................ ......Cadet Major; Assistant Instructor in Military Science Scrap of History.” AT THE breaking out of the Civil War in 1861, the stand- ing army of the United States numbered about 13,000 officers and soldiers. Nearly all of the Southern officers re- signed and went with their states. A number of those belonging to what was called the Border States remained faithful to the flag and Union. As to the soldiers in the ranks, their loyalty was unques- tioned, and many of them afterwards won swords and epaulets. The army was not organized nor intended to meet such emergencies as arose in 1861. When the hour of need came, the army was broken up into small detachments, garrisoning all the forts on the Northern and Southern borders, and the sea-coast fortifications from Maine to Florida, with less than 100 officers and soldiers at Fort Sumter, beside the interior lines from the Missouri river to the Pa- cific coast. The largest part was West of the Missouri, clearing the way for pioneer settlers and emigrants, protecting and defending them in their new homes against the attacks of Indians. To complicate matters, the Mormons in Utah in 1858-59 defied the government, so that it was necessary to send a force of 3,000 of the best troops to Salt Lake City to settle the difficulty and protect and install a new territorial governor and civil officers appointed by the president. These troops were the flower of the American army— 117 veterans of the Mexican War, many of whom were the most dis- tinguished officers of the Civil War. Thus the army was situated and occupied when the first shot was fired on Fort Sumter, that signal which awakened the slumbering martial spirit of the loyal states, of the dead heroes whose memory we commemorate once a year. In the full strength of young man- hood they left wives, parents, children, sweethearts and homes; all ties save honor and patriotism were forgotten, for their country called for their services. With tear-dimmed eyes and aching hearts they shouldered their muskets and went to meet those who would destroy this government. In the struggle to save it, the blood of the adopted citizen was mingled with that of the native-born. Also the blood of those of all religions, of republican and democrat, of rich and poor, so that we and our children might enjoy its blessings in peace and harmony. War is an incident of patriotism, but there still are those who discourage its teachings and everything that has a semblence of preparation. The law of self-preservation will cause us to meet force with force, therefore it devolves on us as a duty to our country to be prepared to ward off the blow from whatever direction it may come, and to impress upon the minds of the young that spirit of patriotism which makes good, honest citizens in peace; and loyal, heroic soldiers in war. As far back as 1862 the country began to realize the importance of some system of military education in addition to West Point. At that time, Congress enacted a law giving to each state the means of establishing and supporting by annual appropriation, a college at which the art of war was to form part of the education. Under the same law army officers were detailed as instructors, and arms, am- munition and equipments were furnished by the War Department. These colleges are the State Agricultural Colleges, and they form the basis for about one hundred other colleges and universities at which army officers are detailed and all the necessary appliances for drill supplied. They are divided into three classes, with from three to five hours’ drill a week. Simpson College is classed under the min- imum number of hours, and with these rules every graduating stu- dent should be prepared to take his place in the ranks, and drill a company or battalion of cadets.

Rea.......................................Vice President Elizabeth Harris...........................Secretary and Treasurer i Simpson College Oratorical Association was organized in 1881 and has a history of which she may well be proud. During the year 1903-4 a radical change was made in the constitu- tion of the association; it being now based on the plan of the state and inter-state oratorical associations. The vice president now has charge of the inter-collegiate debating interests of the school. Simpson always secures a place on the state contest. This year she was represented by Edward C. Fintel of the Junior class, who put on the contest as good an oration as ever went out from Simpson, winning honors for himself and his Alma Mater. W. R.

Such was the case with Simp- son in 1904. In the spring of 1904 the base ball team took a slump. The foot ball team in the fall continued the bad spell but luck was against them. It was not that Simpson men did not do the best that was in them but the team that represented us on the gridiron was one which Coach Reid brought together out of almost altogether new material. Hardly a single player from former teams remained for a nucleus around which to build up a team. Hut although the string of defeats was almost unbroken, the team was one of which we were proud. Though defeated they never quit. They fought till the last whistle blew and every point that was scored against them was hard won. The last game of the season was a fitting close. On Thanksgiving day, Simpson and Grinnell lined up on Simpson Field for the last struggle. Neither team had won a game on its schedule. Both teams were very light for college teams. The rivalry between the two schools has always been intense. The game was hard fought from start to finish. When the whistle blew, Simpson had won her first game and Grinnell chalked up one more in her unbroken line of defeats. The winter season was better. Although the men’s basketball team was weak and failed to win a game on its schedule Simpson can justly and without fear of dispute claim the girls championship for the state of Iowa. For two years the girls basketball team had been undefeated. The players are all stars of the first magnitude and the winning of the championship was not the result of star work on the part of one or two players but of good, consistent team work by all and every one playing the game all the time. It was the first time that an honor “S” has been awarded to members of a girls’ team and they certainly won it if ever a team did. In tennis, representatives of Simpson have met and defeated teams from Drake and I)es Moines College. Twice has Drake been de- feated in both singles and doubles while Des Moines has been van- 132 quished thrice in doubles and twice in single combat. Once has Des Moines won in singles and Ames has defeated us in both doubles and singles twice. The prospects are bright for a successful base ball and tennis sea- son for the spring of 1905 and hopes are entertained that the slump in athletics is a thing of the past. B.B., '05.

DEPARTMENT Health Officers Report Heart disease is spreading rapidly in the school, and I wish partic- ularly to recommend that the quarantine he more strict. Solitary quarantine is the only means by which the disorder can be checked. The ladies’ dormitory is an especially badly infected district, more cases being developed here than in all the rest of the school put to- gether. Glass panes in the parlor doors and holes in the curtains might be suggested as good preventive remedies. Persons affected should avoid all violent excitement, should eat heartily and should keep, especially early hours. Great ignorance seems to prevail in re- gard to the disastrous effects of the disorder, many seeming indifferent and some actually courting infection. Limmenicks. There once was a crusty old Col. Who in war received injuries intol. But when his doctor advised quiet And a very slim diet He was told to go to regions infol.

Rumor has it that Mr. Ernest Rea is furnishing a house in the south. Frank Jenkins has a new buggy. Put on your best smile, girls. On February 28, at the Conservatory, occurred a surprise party for the music students. Mr. Barrows did himself proud as mine host. No, Josh Medders, there is no truth in the story that the cow found tied to the west door of the Ladies’ hall, last fall, was pur- chased by the college for the purpose of starting a dairy department. The facts as they have come out since, are that the beast was taken there by a certain classical student named Meade, for the purpose of abducting his sweetheart a la Jove and Europa. Unfortunately for his design, the young lady was afraid of cows, and while he was al- laying her fears on this score, the janitors were aroused and the young man was forced to jump from the second story window’ to avoid detection. . 1 CAREFUL BUFF.

Tonight, some of the members of the track team had gravitated into Anson’s quarters and were discussing the chances for and against Stone college in the approaching track meet between Stone and the nearby college of Woodside. Among those present were the captain of the track team, Harold Brewster, more often called “The Brew,” Lengthy Cook, the long distance man, Harry Conrad, Charley Sommers and Dan Williams, inseparable compan- ions, whom their friends called Jack and Jill, and last and least, Jim- my Harrison. Because of his smallness of stature the latter was un- iversally nicknamed “Baby Harrison” and when it came to running the hundred yard dash he was probably the fastest baby known to the civilized world. “Well, Brewster, how are you track fellows getting along, now? I haven’t seen much of you since baseball practice commenced.” It was Anson who spoke and Brewster answered: “Oh, we arc getting along fairly well, Cappy. We firmly believe that we can take Woodside to1 a cleanin’, but it will be a near thing, I reckon.” “How near?” asked Anson. “Well, the way we figure it out the winning of the 220 yard dash means the winning of the meet. Conrad, here, is our 220 man and we hope and pray that he may beat their man and Con says he’ll do it. Of course nobody can tell how the meet will go beforehand. 'There will be surprises, sure. They will spring some on us, I sup- pose, and we think we have one or two for them, but I can just seem to feel it in my bones that if we can get the 220, we will win out.” “We could get it, too, if it wasn’t for cur beloved faculty,” put in Lengthy Cook, and there was a chorus of assent. “You are thinking of Mickey, I suppose,” said Anson. “Sure,” cried Harrison. “Why Mickey could win over anything they have at Woodside with his feet done up in market baskets.” Of 160 all the little mean tricks that a college faculty is capable of, the dis- qualifying of Mic Halloran is about the littlest and—” “Oh control your emotions, Baby,” said Brewster, “vve don’t think it was just the right thing for the faculty to do but there is no use kicking.” “Well, it’s over with, now,” said Anson. “How’s that?” asked Brewster, quickly. “There was a faculty meeting this afternoon, and they removed Mickey’s disqualification,” continued Anson. “Then we’re saved,” said Sommers, and he voiced the opinion of all present. “Maybe,” said Anson. “Why of course we are, Cappy,” declared Brewster. “With Hol- loran in line, we can make Woodside look like a lead nickel.” “Perhaps you could, with Mickey to help, but I don’t think he’ll help,” went on Anson, slowly. “I talked to him a little while, this evening, and I mentioned the fact that the track men would be mighty glad to have him with ifchemt. He wouldn’t say much, but I gathered the idea that he don’t intend to interest himself in anything but his class work.” “But why, did he say?” asked Harrison. “No, but I know he is pretty sore on account of the way he has been treated. They didn’t give him a square deal, last fall, and he can’t forget it,” Anson answered. “Well, I’m going to talk to him about it, anyway,” remarked Brewster. When the others presently went to their rooms, Brewster stayed behind a few minutes. “I suppose Mickey is in his room, isn’t he?” he inquired after he and Anson had sat silent for a while. “I expect he is, but it won’t do any good to talk to him, Brew,” answered Anson. “Well, I’m going to talk to him all the same, Cappy. Why, it would be our salvation if he would come out. They’ve got a man named Clark over there at Woodside that can run circles around Conrad, and Con is the only man that we have to put against him.” “Well, I expect Mickey is-at home, if you want to see him, but I don’t think it will do any good,” replied Anson. “I’m .going over and see, anyway. So long.” And Brewster was gone. 161 In his own room, a block away, Jack Halloran was translating Greek vigorously. He was an Irish-American youth, of medium height, but light and agile, with blue eyes always twinkling at the thought of a fight or a frolic, and a profusion of auburn hair, which he called his crowning glory. Cheerful, light-hearted and gay, but always ready to lend a helping hand, he was as popular, almost, as Anson. He had made enviable records in almost everything he had undertaken since his first registration at Stone, four years before, and especially in track athletics. His name was quite generally known as that of the best short distance runner among the amateurs of the state. In the last term of his last year in school, however, Holloran— Mickey everybody called him—was net taking any track work at all. The reason for it was this: Stone college had a new president this year and there had been great changes in the administration of col- lege affairs. The formed administration had been lax and easy-going in the extreme, and when the new executive, President Hardman, ar- rived, he was horrified throughout his dignified being by what he con- sidered disgraceful riots on the campus. He was a strong and able man, however, and he soon instituted a new order of things. The college laws were rigidly enforced and the skylarking stopped almost entirely. Mickey Halloran had always been a leader in all mischief and as he took no care whatever to conceal what he did from the fac- ulty or from anyone else, President Hardman soon recognized in him a center of disturbance. He was called up on the carpet and reasoned with, reprimanded and warned on divers and sundry occasions for various pranks, and he at last promised to give the faculty less trouble in the future. A few days later, after the consummation of a partic- ularly atrocious piece of mischief in which a dignified professor and a large be-whiskered old goat of the Billy variety had been the chief actors, Mickey was called to the president’s office again and curtly told that he was disqualified in athletics for the remainder of the year. To Mickey, this was the severest punishment possible, except expulsion, but it was not the severity, but the injustice of the punish- ment, which angered him. He had had nothing, whatever, to do with the locking of the goat in Professor Stiff’s recitation room, but he was given no chance to say so. A certain young man who had earned the dislike of nearly everybody in school by acting on the mis- taken idea that it was his duty to act as an informer, had told Pres. Hardman that he had seen Mickey leading a goat across the campus on the preceding night. Now it happened that Mickey was at home, 162 sweetly sleeping in his little bed at the time when this conscientious tale-bearer saw the man and the goat and he could have proved it, too, had he been given an opportunity. He did attempt some de- fense, but was told to get out of the office, immediately, and be thank- ful that he hadn’t been expelled instead of being merely barred from athletics. All this had occurred early in the fall term, and it was not until about the middle of the spring term that the more cool-headed of the faculty succeeding in persuading the president that he had been hasty and unjust towards Halloran. At last, however, the disquali- fication was removed, but Mickey, who had suffered unjust treatment so long, now made up his mind that he would have nothing to do with athletics, for he suspected that the entreaties of the captain of the track team had largely influenced his re-instatement. So it hap- pened that Brewster’s prayers and entreaties were of no avail when he came that evening. Mickey only said : “I reckon it looks like a kid’s trick, Brew, but I have made up my mind no track work for this.” And Brewster went away in despair. A few days later, just a few days before the Stone-Woodside meet. Anson and Halloran were burning midnight electricity in the latter’s room, and both being suddenly seized with a lively desire for stewed oysters, they started towards the business district of the city, which was distant some five or six blocks. As it was too late for the cars, they were compelled to walk. They had gone perhaps half the dis- tance, when the attention of both were attracted to a dark figure oc- cupying the gutter. As they came nearer, they saw that it was the recumbent form of a fellow' man evidently brought low'- by overesti- mating his power as a booze-fighter. They would have proceeded on their way to towm but as they passed the prostrate one made a des- perate effort and succeeded in giving a recognizable imitation of the Stone college yell. “Why, it’s Harry Conrad,” exclaimed Anson. “Right you are,” said Mickey, and approaching the prostrate fig- ure, he spoke to Conrad. “What are you doing down there in the ditch, Con? Get up, if people see you lying there, they’ll think you’re drunk.” “Wha’s difference?” said the one addressed. “If I get up’n try t’walk they’ll know’m drunk. Goin’ go sleep, now, so sleepy,” and he rested his head on a convenient brick-bat and began to snore. “We’ve got to get him home, Cappy,” said Halloran. “Yes,” wras the answer, “and we would better do it as soon as pos- 163 sible. If the faculty gets next to this, they’ll fire Con, and you know how that will leave the track team.” “Well, we’ll take him home, and nobody will be any the wiser,” said Mickey. “He ought to be kicked, though, for breaking train- ing,” he added, reflectively. By diligent and persistent effort, they succeeded in awakening Con- rad and hoisting him to his very unsteady feet. This accomplished, they started down the middle of the street, because, as Mickey said, it was wider than the sidewalk, and they needed lots of room. As they proceeded, one on either side of the erratic Conrad, the latter yielded to an impulse to indulge in song. The words sung were familiar enough to his audience, but never before had they heard them given such sounds as Con uttered. They tried to induce him to re- frain from further vocalization after he had rendered “Navajo” and “Coming Thro’ the Rye” but he paid no heed, and was making strange noises to the words of “Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis,” when they approached a big electric light on a street corner. Here Anson asked Conrad where he had left his hat. He instantly stopped sing- ing and began to search his pockets. As he failed to find any hat in them, his companions wished to proceed, but he begged for a halt while he tried to remember whom he had given the hat to. Anson and Halloran permitted this, because there was no danger of their being observed at that time of night. It proved to be an unlucky stop, however, for they were hardly seated on the curbing, when they heard rapid footsteps approaching, and in a few moments they saw a man’s figure coming towards them. Halloran recognized the new- comer first. “Great Scott, Cappy, it’s President Hardman,” he exclaimed. “Whateverwill we do?” inquired Anson. Conrad solved that question by arising suddenly, eluding their at- tempts to restrain him, and wobbling towards the approaching figure. When he reached the middle of the street, he stopped, shook his fists belligerently, if unscientifically, and yelled: “I c’n whip that o’l man on a-a-a-a forty acre field.” This demonstration accomplished, he promptly fell down and went to sleep. President Hardman, for he it was, crossed the street quickly and spoke to Conrad’s self-appointed guardians: “What’s the matter here? What’s wrong with Mr. Conrad?” he asked. 164 “Why, he’s a little off his head,” answered Mickey. “A brick blew off a building, a while ago, and hit him on the head.” The President made no response to 'this surprising statement, but as he attempted to raise Conrad to his feet, he dislodged a quart bot- tle, partly full of liquor, from one of his pockets. “This is the brick, I suppose,” he said picking it up. “I see very plainly what is the matter with Mr. Conrad, and you need not try to shield him. I’ll talk to him tomorrow. Now you would better take him on home. Good-night,” and the President went on his way. Anson and Halloran took Conrad to his room and put him to bed, and as they parted at the gate of Halloran’s rooming place, Anson said: “Mickey, do you see what this affair will mean?” “Why, yes,” was the answer, “it will mean that Con will be sus- pended or expelled and Wcodside will beat us bad, Saturday.” “They’ll not beat us if you’ll do your duty, Mick. You’ve just got to get out there Saturday, and win that 220 for us. It’s your duty to the col and to the fellows on the track team. You are act- ing like a kid about this track work, anyway. The faculty re-instated you so you could get out and now you’re sore and won’t go. Every- body knows that they didn’t treat you right, but that’s no reason for you going back on Brewster and the other fellows.” “Maybe you are right, Anson,” answered the other, after a pause. “Of course I’m right. Promise me you’ll come out, Saturday, Mickey.” “No, I won’t promise, but I’ll think it over.” And with that Anson was compelled to be satisfied. The next morning, Conrad w'as indefinitely suspended. The news traveled rapidly and soon reached Brewster, who was so mad when he had heard the whole story that he couldn’t swear. Anson met him presently and said: “Have you seen Mickey, this morning, Brew?” “No, what’s the use,” answered Brewster. “It might not be any use, but I’d see him any way, if I were you. There he comes now. Go and ask him to come out, apd if he says he won’t let me know and I’ll reason with him some more.” Brewster went to meet Mickey, who was crossing the campus to- wards them. When they met, Mickey stopped and said: “Going to tell me what I am for not coming out on the cinders 165 are you? Well, you needn’t. If you’ll keep your face shut, I’ll come out, Saturday, and help you as much as I’m able, which won’t be much, I’m afraid, for I’m not in training.” “It’ll be all I want,” said Brewster, delightedly. “As for you being out of training, you know you’re fit. You always are. Oh, we won’t do a thing to Woodside.” And he began to caper around like a cow on a railroad trestle. “Don’t act like a giddy goat, now, Brew, and remember, you are not to tell a soul,” said Mickey. “Well, I’d like to tell the fellows, but 1 won’t, if you say so,” an- swered Brewster. “Don’t then,” said Mickey who was on the way to his class. The next day was Saturday, and the day of the field meet. Mickey got up rather earlier than usual, dressed himself carefully, breakfasted, and then sat around in his room, trying to convince him self that he was studying, but spending most of his time looking at his watch. When the timepiece marked the hour of ten, he seized a cap and dashed down stairs, as if he were on an errand of life and death. Once outside, he moderated his pace somewhat, but his gait was by no means slow and he soon arrived at his destination, a large white house, some two blocks from his own rooms. He rang the bell and asked for Miss Lawton. That lady soon made her appearance, say- ing brightly: “Why, Mickey Halloran, how did you happen to get up so early?” “Do you call this early, you poor, deluded creature?” demanded Mickey. “Well, it’s earlier in the day than I ever remember seeing you be- fore,” she answered. “Well, said he, “this is a serious occasion. That is, I mean I am going to be serious.” “Then it must be a serious occasion, indeed,” she said laughing. “What is it all about, anyway?” “Why,” said he, “I am going to take Conrad’s place in the 220 this afternoon. Now, there is a man named Clark, over there at Woodside. He’s the same fellow that I’ve found making sheep’s eyes at you two or three times when I have come over without giving notice a week or. two ahead. Is he around1 here now?” “No,” laughed the girl, “not that I know of.” “Well, you see,” continued Mickey, “Clark is the Woodside 220 man. Therefore, he is the man I’ll run with. Now I don’t see 166 why we shouldn’t make one stone kill two birds, today. It must be a lot of trouble for Clark to come away over here and he either ought to occupy all of your time or none of it.” ‘Jack Halloran, what on earth are you trying to say?” cried the girl. “Why, just this, Betty,” answered he, “I am in Clark’s way and he is in mine. So I thought if we could agree to let the race this afternoon decide it, the losing man would just drop out----- “Out of what?” she interrupted. “Why, out of your tandem team, you know.” “Oh, you mean the one who got beat would stop coming to see me?” “Exactly,” said Mickey. “It seems like a good plan to me, so I thought I would just get your opinion of it.” “Well, I think it is dandy,” said she, promptly. Mickey did not look as well pleased as he might have, and the girl continued: “I’ll tell Mr. Clark when he comes, this morning, and------- “Is Clark coming here, this morning?” interrupted Mickey. “Why, yes,” was the answer. “Well, good-bye, Betty, I don’t want to be in the way.” And he marched stiffly down the front walk with disgust written upon his features. Betty 'watched his retreating back without saying anything but with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. The weather, that afternoon, was ideal for track athletics, and there was a great crowd of spectators upon the Stone athletic field. Woodside had brought over a large delegation to cheer their team on to victory, and the Stone college students and sympathizers were all present to root for the home team. The weight events and most of the jumping was over, and as yet, neither side could claim a vic- tory. In fact, just as Brewster and Anson had anticipated the win- ning of the 220 yard run would mean the winning of the meet, and now as the second call for the 220 was being given, a figure shrouded in a blanket, emerged from one of the little dressing rooms under the grandstand and came towards the track followed by exclamations of surprise and relief from the people near by. When the blanketed figure had advanced sufficiently to be seen by all the people on the bleachers, the tall young man who led the Stone rooting, suddenly clapped a megaphone to his mouth and bawled: “What’s the matter with Mickey?” “He’s all right!” answered ever}- well-wisher of Stone. Then as Mickey flung off his blanket and ran lightly up the track 167 to the starting point, the man with the megaphone suggested nine rahs for Halloran and they were given with a tiger attachment by the united lung power of all the friends of Stone, and the people set- tled back to watch the race, every Stone man among them confident that Mickey would win. The Woodside people were greatly sur- prised at his appearance, for tney thought him still ineligible to run. Clark, who was at the starting point when Mickey got there, ap- peared as much surprised as anyone, and Halloran thought: “He needn’t act so surprised. Wants me to think he didn’t know I was coming out, I reckon.” When the men took their positions for the start, Mickey was placed next to a Woodside man who was much better known as a football man than as a runner, and who had been suspected of doing dirty work in a good many athletic contests. The men crouched in their places, the pistol cracked, and the Stone supporters uttered a great cheer, which changed quickly to a groan as they saw what had hap- pened. The Woodside football man, running to one side, slightly be- hind Mickey, had tripped and fallen slightly against him, throwing him heavily on one of the low posts which marked out the course of the track. He was up again in an instant and seemingly unhurt, but everyone thought the race was lost to him, until they observed the rate at which he began overhauling the leaders. A few strides brought him even with the slow runners and he gained rapidly on these ahead, running with one arm thrown across his body in front, a circumstance which the onlookers noted and wondered at. Seventy- five yards from the finish, Mickey was again side by side with Clark and the rest of the race wa3 between these two, Halloran finally tak- ing the tape a fraction of an inch ahead of the Woodside man and tumbling over in a dead faint a few steps further on. A crowd im- mediately gathered around him, the Stone yell-leader among them. This young man returned to his post, presently, much excited and en- tirely forgetting his megaphone put his hands to his mouth, trumpet- wise and shouted: “You all saw the finish of the race. Well, Mickey broke his wrist when he fell against that post over there and the doctor says that he did the nerviest thing hei ever heard of in try- ing to finish at all. Now if there is any yell left in you people I want to hear it.” He did -hear it, and so did everybody else within a radius of a mile or so. There had been yelling before, but it was a gentle, rock-me-to-sleep-mother sort of a noise compared to what came now. The Woodside people heard the story, presently, and led by Clark, .they, too, joined in the cheering, and it was some time be- fore the meet could proceed. When, at last, order was restored and the other events were pulled off, Stone college was victor by five 168 points. The college men who came to visit Mickey that night in his room, did not find him at home. He had gone out, in direct dis- obedience to the doctor’s orders and was now sitting on the porch of the same house he had visited that morning and engaged in conversa- tion with the same young lady. “The Doc. told me to stay in the house,” he was explaining, “but I had something I wanted to say to you, and so I thought I’d come over and say it. You see, Betty, that scheme of mine don’t seem half so good to me as it did this morning. Deciding which of two men can sprint the best don’t decide which one a girl may fancy, after all, so I’m going to call it off, and you can just decide for your- self.” “And what if I say I won’t decide it?” she asked. “It would be an adverse decision for me, and I’d trouble you no more. I reckon I’d better do that, anyway,” he answered. “Do as you please, by all means,” said Betty,” nobody is going to compel you to visit me if you don’t want to.” “I never said I didn’t want to at all, at all. I do, but I am con- vinced that you don’t want me to, and only your kindness of heart keeps you from telling me so.” He paused a moment and then said: “Good-bye, Betty.” She made no answer and he was half way down the front walk when she called softly: “Mickey.” “What is it?” he asked, turning around, but making no move to return. If you really wanted to know, I think you would come nearer,” she said. When he had established himself on the porch again, she went on: “I’ve a sort of confession to make. Mr. Clark didn’t know any- thing about that race idea of yours, Mickey, because I didn’t tell him.” “Why not?” demanded Mickey, quickly. “Well, in the first place, he didn’t give me a chance, and then I wouldn’t have done such a thing anyway. He came rushing up here this morning, just after you went away, and before I realized clearly what he was saying, he had asked me to marry him. When I said no, he demanded to know why, and I was compelled to tell him that there was somebody else, and------- “Who did you mean by that, Betty?” interrupted Mickey. “If you weren’t a big stupid, you would know,” she answered. C. B. Stevenson, ’06 169 moonlight in the flips. (From the German of Adolf Bube.) I left the heights, o’ergrown with moss and heather, And chose a pathway steep ’mid slender firtrees; The sun still crowned the hills with gleaming ether, When in the valley now, spread mist, and night breeze. Soon dusky shadows wavered slowly toward me, Above my head they met and gloomy hovered ; A solemn fear seemed almost to o’erwhelm me, When shrub, and tree, the darkness softly covered. Out from the towering forest’s deepest shadow I passed, and saw the moon o’er meadows beaming; And as I walked beside me went my shadow O’er dew-drops on the bushes brightly gleaming. I saw in nestling groups the herders’ dwellings And round them midst the grasses calmly grazing, And treading o’er the flowers, and herbs sweet-smelling, Were many herds, their sturdy heads up-raising. The deepest quiet o’er the place was stealing, No human voice or watch-dog’s angry bellow; And round this pleasant refuge softly circling, Were hills and forest black in twilight mellow. Beyond were ice-topped mountains, brightly shining; And brooklets over rocky beds were falling, Like magic silver threads, the mountains twining, Their melody e’en to the vallies calling. A sweet enchantment o’er me gently glided, I knew not how, or when my breast it entered; What to me then the moonlight still confided Within my heart will be forever centered. May Star buck, ’07. 170 Jin Jlnizona Evening. The little village of Dry Creek was just waking up as the sun was nearing the western horizon. Dry Creek is an Arizona town, and in Arizona nobody stirs while the sun shines. That is, nobody who can avoid doing so. Now as evening was coming on, Dry Creek's two sod house grocery stores, and the more pretentious frame build- ing which sheltered the U. S. mail began ito show signs of life. Fur- ther down the dusty street, the half dozen adobe saloons seemed to suddenly awake and shutters were taken down and preparations made for the crowd of cowboys which came there every night. A horseman came riding down the main street of the little town, the red dust shooting up in little puffs from beneath the pony’s hoofs. The rider was a typical cowboy, tall, lean and clad in full ranch- man’s garb, sixshooters included. Riding up to the principal saloon, he dismounted, tied his horse, and entering the establishment called for whiskey. While he stood waiting to be served by the barkeeper, another and older ranchman entered, and evidently recognizing the first man said: “Hello Brady! Flow’s things down your way?” The man addressed as Brady replied: “Oh, everything’s all right, I guess. Have a drink on me.” The other assenting Brady ordered another glass set out and when they 'had drank, the older man drew the younger aside to one of the tables in the apartment and when they were seated he said: “See 'here, Brady, I wouldn’t hang out much around here -if I was you.” The young man looked surprised but contended himself by asking, “Why?” The other answered sob- erly, “Do you know Bill Walsh?” “I know him when I see him,” re- plied Brady. “Well,” continued his friend, “didn’t you have charge of the outfit that hung Hank Rawdin for horse stealin’ last fall?” “Yes; what of it?” Why this Walsh was a partner of Hank’s and he has been here in town for three days layin’ for you. Says he is goin’ to sure kill you because you had Hank strung up.” “Well,” said Brady reflectively, “I don’t reckon I’ll hurry out of town on that account.” “No,” said the other, “I didn’t suppose you would, but I’d keep mighty wide-awake 'if I was you for one of you fellows will have to drop when you meet.” Brady acknowledged the advice to be good, and they began to talk on other subjects. When they had been talking for about an hour and it was begin- ning to get dark, they heard a noise like that made by men fighting on the street outside. There were shouts of “Fight it out,” “Hit ’im again,” etc., and yells of approval from many throats, for the lit- 171 tie town was by this time full of cowboys. “It’s a fight,” said Brady, and both men sprang up and hurried out doors. Just as Brady reached the street, the sharp report of a revolver rang out and he heard the whistle of the bullet that carried his sombrero from his head. Looking up, he saw Walsh standing across the street with his pistol leveled and a little puff of smoke ascending from the muzzle. In an instant his gun was drawn and leveled, two reports rang out as one, and Walsh fell forward with a bullet through his brain, but Brady was unhurt. “You’ve done for him and I don’t think his friends will bother you any” said his friend. “Will they want to arrest me, do you think?” asked Brad}'. “No, of course not. A dozen men saw him fire at you,” was the answer, as the two turned to reenter the saloon. —Stevenson, ’06. Day.

He led a diamond and led to lose, She took it, the suit she might not refuse, And her lead in return was very low; He took the trick, then smiled serene And led the ace and caught the queen, For when hearts are trumps it is ever so. Frank Jenkins, ’06. 173 Che Uninvited Guests A True Story. It was one of those quiet Friday evenings at S.......... college, nothing of especial importance “doing,” nothing going on except liter- ary societies and music club, just a calm, serene Friday evening. But it was the night of the Sophomore bum, not a very important event in itself, but one that promised possibilities to bold Juniors, for it would be dead easy for an outsider behind a mask to pass for a Sophomore. Ben and Mate were strolling down toward town that evening, dis- cussing the possibilities for a time, but rack their brains as they would, they could formulate no plan. They walked on down for the mail and then started back to their rooms in silence. All at once Ben was struck with an idea. “Say, Mate, let’s walk round the square and the first girls we meet we’ll see if we can’t get them to invite us out for the evening. “All right, old head. I’m with you,” Mate replied, “come on.” So around the four block stretch they went, slowly and deliber- ately, gazing searchingly about, down the side streets, into the stores and across the court house lawn, that'no one might escape their notice, but not a girl had been seen when they returned to their starting point. “Well, Mate, this is hard luck,” said Ben. “That’s the way it looks to me. But say, we are not the ones to give up so easily. You know Frank Merriwell wasn’t that kind of a fellow and he was an honorable man. Let’s go ’round again.” And with the zeal and boldness of Benton Hammerswell, of Tip Top fame they did go ’round again. They had nearly completed the second trip and were at the point of giving up in despair when sud- denly from around the corner there appeared two smiling lasses and the hopes of the boys brightened. The intentions of the two adventurers had been good when they started out, but when the supreme moment arrived their courage failed and the girls passed by unmolested. It appeared, however, that the girls were out for some fun, too, for no sooner had they passed the boys than they.faced about and one of them, “Beanie,” called out: “Say, Ben, do you boys know that the Sophs are to have a mas- querade party tonight?” “No, are they?” Ben called back. 174 “Yes, and don’t you think that somebody ought to create a little excitement in their camp?” “Why sure, that’s just what we were looking for, but we couldn’t find anyone, so we were going home. Let’s get some masks and old clothes and go.” It was quickly arranged that the girls should do a little shopping and the boys would go to their rooms and don their tattered garments and call at the girls’ rooms at 8 o’clock. And at a few minutes past eight, the four started out on their adventurous trip, dressed in Sen- ior, Junior and Sophomore gowns, old hats and hideous looking masks. A “little bird” had told Beanie where the wise and wary Sophs were to start from on their pleasure trip, for it was to be one of those parties where you eat and drink “Here a little and there a little,” so down to the big church on the corner the four started, three Jun- iors and a Senior, for Ben was a senior, but guessed, “By Hen,” that he could condescend to be a Junior for just one night if he could have some fun. Sly as foxes they followed the tracks of the unsuspecting Sophs down to the house where dwelt the city deacon, and there in the shadow of the big church they awaited the exodus of those whom they had followed. They had not long to wait for soon the proces- sion began filing out around the church and down the street. Stealthily the four adventurers stole out from their hiding places and joined the line of merrymakers, no one even suspecting that they did not belong to the original crowd. On down the street they marched, one block south, three blocks east, two blocks north and ’steen blocks east again until the little body of spies were no longer able to locate themselves. Finally they came to a few familiar land- marks, got their bearings and followed on fearlessly until they reached what seemed to be .the jumping off place, and there the crowd turned in at a mansion at Z street. What a cordial welcome the four received when they entered! How the little fellow at the door, dressed in white trousers, little boots and funny hat and card- ing a riding whip did bow and scrape! Greetings over, the entertainment part of the program was begun, and the little games that they played were real cunning and jolly. Beanie, Whack, Ben and Mate all joined in heartily and enjoyed themselves immensely. They really got about triple the amount of enjoyment out of it that the others did, for it is a fact in history that it is a strangely sensational experience to be in disguise in the land of the enemy, knowing that discovery means sudden death in the form of being torn to pieces for souvenirs. But fearlessly they went about from room to room, revelling in the danger. And when, with 175 Sophies for partners, they sat around on the ttoor to partake of the festivities of the evening, how good those refreshments did taste, eaten under such stress of peril. What delicious sandwiches! What fine pickles! And the water was so refreshing! But, alas for the four, their adventure must soon come to an end, and it was plainly up to them to use some strategy if they wished to get out alive, for an all-observing Soph finally got wise and de- clared that there were enemies in the camp. Then they all began to unmask and the adventurers saw they would have to dig out or die the death, so they staked their pile on spades and cut for the nearest door. Safely out, they hit up the street in a way that wasn’t slow, and never stopped till they reached the Oyster House down the side street, famed as a place of happy meetings. There they stopped to re- gain their expended energy, talk over the success of the adventure and refresh themselves after the swift jaunt up the road. Back in the Sopihomore camp all was in an uproar. It was soon discovered that someone was missing and a search warrant was issued at once for four missing partners. Then it dawned upon them that they had been cunningly dealt with. They scratched their heads in bewilderment and decided that it would be best to say nothing about it. Meanwhile the four perpetrators of the deed 'had gone home well satisfied with their evening’s entertainment, and fervently thanking the brilliant Soph who had originated the idea of a masquerade. “Carp” ’06. Cbe Song of the Knaniognapb It is the year 6786 of the present era. The center of civilization has shifted, and Africa is the leading continent of the planet. Some years have elapsed since the New Zealand tourist sketched the ruins of St. Paul’s amid vast silence. The hour is evening. The Scientific Association of Bigbaytrea University is in session. There is great interest as Prof. Kanneball- cing of the Science department, with 'his assistant, Miss Zueluemayd, is about to exhibit a new invention, the Kraniograph. It is a device, which on being attached -to a skull will a la graphophone, transmit any desired soliloquy which the possessor of the fleshless cranium ut- tered during his terrestial existence. The skull to be used is a relic of the Prympsonozoic age, recently discovered in archeological ruins of far-away Hawkeye Terra. It is the skull of a foot ball player. There is a peculiar bump, very large, prominent on it, which Prof. Kanneballcing, who is phrenologically inclined, explains as the bump of pugnacity, abnormally developed by feeding on scraps. The n- 176 strument is clamped on the skull, and amid the intensest silence, there issue words distinctly from it as follows, subdued and far-away, like a sea-shell’s soft, dreamy echoes of its ocean home. BROTHERS FOUR. I. O, Roman gladiator, You are my father’s child; You gave a delighted people Amusement most fierce and wild. Then reach me your hand, my brother; Communion sweet we’ll hold ; For upon the bloody gridiron I’ve over the pigskin rolled. 2. My mediaeval jouster, A fervent greeting I send; For bloody mutilation Did often your sport attend. Then let us lock arms together, A common banner hold ; For beside the shrieking bleachers I’ve over the pigskin rolled. 3- Shake, my dear prize-fighter; Reach me that fist of thine: You present-day blood-letter, Your trade resembles mine. The same dear frat doth claim us, And friendship rare we’ll hold ; For upon the gory gridiron I’ve over the pigskin rolled. 4- Tho’ you may in the present moments The three disgraces be called, Though oft by crack-brained beings Your ways are barbarous called Y et the ring, snd the lists and arena A place in my heart shall hold; For upon the ghastly gridiron I’ve over the pigskin rolled. 177 Wayne Stahl, ’07. Editorial Six months of close study and observation of college life and col- lege people, such as is necessary in the compiling of a college annual, cannot fail to fix in the mind some very definite ideals of what a college man should be, and how he should spend his four undergrad- uate years. Striving to find and lay hold of the spirit, the essence, of college life is certain to impress the striver with the vast signifi- cance of certain phases of it. One question faces him at ever)' turn, dogs his footsteps, floats be- fore him in his dreams: “What am I here for?” And evade it as he will, let him hide behind such subterfuges as: “I am here be- cause my parents send me,” the answer that he is finally compelled to give is: “I am here for development and preparation.” We are here to develop to the highest efficiency the talents that are ours and the reason for this development is that we may live our lives in: the best and most successful way. Development in college is along three main lines: intellectual, physical and moral. Each has its own proper place and proportion in the completed whole and no one should be cultivated to the exclusion of 'the others. The first, naturally, to be considered is intellectual development. The chief effort of the college course is directed toward the acquisi- tion of knowledge and the training of the mind. To this end we twist our tongues ’round strange foreign words, acquaint ourselves with the literature and history of other ages, delve deep into the sciences and sharpen our wits with mathematics. One thing wc must avoid, however, if this knowledge is to avail us anything. Wc must not study merely for credits. We must not memorise until after exams and then forget. Colleges are not mere stuffing mach- ines and graduation means more than tying the string at the end of the finished sausage. If we aspire to something higher than a neatly tied ring of bologna, our knowledge must be made a part of our very being. Physical development must be given its full place. No matter 178 how faultless the plans of the inventor, his machine will fail if its construction be faulty. So with the human being. The finest mind will lose its keenness if confined within an unhealthy body. The thing to remember is that physical development is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Finally, moral development, the last piece in the mechanism, without which the others are useless. What matters it that the bank cashier understands every detail of his business, that his physical or- ganization is able to withstand the demands made upon it, if he ab- scond with the depositors’ hard earned dollars? His cell at the state penitentiary will be just as narrow, his life as complete a failure as if the other qualities had not been his. Then with the true proportions of intellectual, physical and moral development clearly in mind, we should set about acquiring this de- velopment with the knowledge that we are but laying the founda- tions to build our lives on. We should study with one eye upon our books and the other upon the future, realizing that college education, like physical development, is but the means to an end, and that the end is life. 179 Jllumnal Directory 1870.

WILLARD SPURR sr HE picture at the left is a portrait of Mr. E. Willard Spurr, now the artist of the new Capital City Studio, who is to do the work under the skylight. Mr. Spurr is well known throughout the state; in fact, his reputation is national in extent. The list of awards won by his work cannot be given here for lack of space. He has the unusual ability of portraying the character of the sub- ject, together with artistic posing and lighting, thus making a happy combination seldom seen in portraits. Carbons and platinotypes, especially the rich sepia prints, are his especial fancy and his most successful line of work. . They equal the finest portraits by the old masters, with richness and fullness of texture that no other process is in any way capable of producing; with wonderful lights and shadows; a marvelous range of depth, full of sparkle and brilliancy. You may behold the rounded flesh, the magnetic eyes, the fine lines of mouth and nostril, the fluffiness of hair, the infinite detail which makes up the tout ensemble. The like- ness stands out in wonderful perfection, and the closer it is examined the greater grows the wonder. The more the whole effect is studied the more it is apparent that not only the features, but the character, the individuality, the very soul of the subject, has found expression.
