VVe 've long Watched your form it ezune into view, The form of all forms, the being called You. Your sinews are tense, your nostrils are wide, You stand in true manhood, the manhood of pride, We've felt the strong pulse, fierce-throbbing with li fe, And known the deep yearnings, the longing for strife, We 've seen and We've known the hearts that have burst In the depths of the darkness, by ignorance eurs'd. And now we know You as You looln mountain-high, 'With Inassy-broad brow and battle-bright eye- ' You stand 11, true king, the master of all, Nor earth nor the heavens can hold You in thrall, For upward, still upward, You climbed the rude way, Through blood of the Fathers, through darkness to day. And upward, aye upward, You still must climb on Till the heaven-liigh barrier of mystery is known, Till life and till death shall yield to your might, And You shall see God and know Him aright.

Through a shady avenue of maple trees, the hall can be seen standing well back from the street. Many trees are Sw scattered over the broad campus, giving it an inviting and picturesque ap- AF' pearance. Just back of the college building rises a large hill, on the western .' V f,ga A s W' 1 . slope of this are many small cedar trees. At the present time, a new college ' hall is being erected on the summit of the hill. Standing at the southwest ' 3 f corner of the campus is the President's home, just back of this is the gym- nasium. The campus itself, comprising about thirty acres, occupies one of the rnost elevated sections of Winfield. The surrounding district is known as College Hill. Here are to be found some of the best residences of the city. Winneld itself, lying in the fertile valley of the Walnut river, is one of the most beautiful cities in Kansas. It has long been known for its tall shade trees and for its excellent chautauqua. Four railroads make it easily accessible from points in Kansas and Oklahoma. It is especially adapted to the needs of the college student, and offers many advantages to those who are seeking higher education. FROM 1885 to 1905 During the third annual session of the Southwest Kansas Conference of the Methodist Church, held at Eldorado, Kansas, March 19-23, 1885, definite plans were considered for the erection of a college within its confines. After much deliberation, during which many sites were considered, the college was finally located at Winfield. The citizens loyally rallied to the support of the new institution. JohnAE. Earp, a former professor of DePauw, was chosen for the work of organization. On September 7, 1886, the college building not yet having been completed, the first session opened at McDougal hall in the city. During the year, an enrollment of 229 was reached. By the opening of the fall session of 1887, the new building was completed. The administration of President Earp was very successful, and soon Southwest Kansas Methodist Episcopal College, as it was then known, began to take its place among the other educational institutions of the State. During the year 1887, a ladies' dormitory, which burned in 1894, was erected south of the present building. After four years of service, President Earp resigned, and Dr. Milton E. Phillips was chosen to take his place. Previous to this time, the College had pros- pered greatlyg in 1893, the enrollment was 613, a number that in the history of the institution has never been exceeded. But during these years, a large debt had been accumulating. Because of the failure of crops and of the general depression over the entire State, President Phillips was unable to 1'aise suflicient money to pay this, and it seemed for a time as if the College must close its doors. The enrollment had decreased until, in 1895, it was only 209. Again the people of XVinfield came to the support of the College. In the spring, Dr. Chester A. Place was elected President. Under l1is administration, the Institution was placed on a much Iirrner financial foundation, but not until 1897 was the debt entirely lifted. Slowly the College began to recover its former prosperity. The patrons of the School continued to give their untiring support, and, by 1905, the College had regained its former standing. PRESIDENT MOSSMAN'S ADMINISTRATION In the spring of 1905, Rev. Frank E. Mossman, former financial agent of Morningside College was chosen President. By his excellent administrative ability, and by his sound financial policy, he soon placed Southwestern on a firmer basis than she had previously enjoyed. The net enroll- ment last year was 505. During the present year, the enrollment at the end of the first semester was 400. In 1906, President Mossman began raising an endowment for the College, this was soon increased to !lli100,000. The large attendance now made it evident to all that a new college hall should be erected. In the spring of 1908, at the time of the Annual Conference, which was held at Winfield, President 7 Mossman had a large tent stretched on the College campus. Here the delegates to the conven- tion were invited, and before them was spread an excellent banquet. President Mossman then proposed the subject of a new building, announcing that hc had a subscription list started. The delegates responded generously, and soon about 343,000 was raised. The Board of Trustees immediately began to plan, bids were submitted, and on November 5th, 1908, the construction of the new building was awarded to H. Eilenberger S: Company, of Chicago. Work was begun at once. The new building is to be ready for occupancy by the opening of the second semester of next year, and will cost when completed about 2iiS70,000, most of this amount having already been raised. A more picturesque situation for the new building could sca1'cely be imagined. To the south and west lies the city of Winfield, girded by the Walnut rivcrg While to the north and east stretch fertile fields and broad pastures. Nor did the activity of the President cease here. In 1906, an Athletic Park, one block west of the campus and containing about tive acres, was purchased. A high board fence was erected around the Park, and here all out-door athletic contests are held. An instructor in athletics has been added to the faculty, and all such events come under his supervision. SOUTHWESTERN AS A COLLEGE But not so much by what a school has is it known, as by the finished product that it turns out. Southwestern is justly proud of her record as a college of Kansas. Twice has her representa- tive won the State Oratorical contest: in 189-L, John VV. Wetzel, now professor of oratory at Yaleg and in 1905, Wilbur E. liroadie, now a practicing-attorney in Wintield. In debate, also, we have been equally successful. 1Ve administered to Baker, in 1906, the second defeat in lier debate historyg we defeated Ottawa University successively in 1907 and in 1908. Southwestern is also remarkable for the air of studiousness that pervades the entire student body. And combined with this, there is a high moral and religious tone, which makes our College an excellent place for a young man or a young woman. Our literary societies, more than any other one feature, contribute to the great enjoyment and benefit of college life. There is a spirit of rivalry among them, which adds pungeney without sharpness. The broad and general training received here fits the student peculiarly well for any work that may follow his college course. The policy of an institution controls in a great measure the policy of its student body. The faculty of Southwestern has ever striven to maintain a high moral standard. That this policy has been eminently successful is fully attestd by the alumni of the College. It has always been the endeavor of Southwestern to produce well-balanced, full-rounded men and women, who, because of their high intellectual and moral qualities, are excellently qualified to take their place in the larger work of the world. fl- Y iff' at , i-- - Qidfil, giiifiiivfsl ,, ., , -, A-. -JF. ., at i-I fy ug..

MOSSMAN, PH. B., A. M., D. D. RESIDENT MOSSMAN received, in 1903, his Ph. B. degree from Morningside College, Siuox City, Iowa, two years later he received from the same institu- tion his A. M. degree. During 1904 he served as financial agent for his Alma Meter. The school year of 1904-5 was spent in pursuing post graduzrte work at Chicago University. In the autumn of 1905, he came to Winfield to assume his duties as President of Southwestern College. Previous to this, he had had at number of years' experience in public school Work and in the ministry. In 1908, he was granted the D. D. degree by Upper Iowa. University. Since coming to Southwestern, President Mossman has won for himself :L reputation for excellent administrative ability and for sound business judgment. By his wise and progressive policy, he has done much to advance the interests of the College. As a result, Southwestern now occupies a high place among the colleges of Kansas. President ltlossman, with the co-operation of the Board of Trustees, has secured for the College an endow- ment of 3l1100,000g has raised over fli250,000 toward the erection of a, new college hall, and was instrumental in purchasing an Athletic Park and in building El much needed gymnasium. He has by his eiiicient work as President of Southwestern, Won the confidence and esteem of the patrons of the College and of the entire student body, and they unite with l1i1n in all of his en- deavors for the up-building of a greater Southwestern. 12 - gh V W A 1 jE5lE5w', qg1 sfgf-511 :SQ 1 'A sbErv2'93ef . , 1 f 1 , 1 1 1 'eau W1 1 Y 1 1 ' JL fi' .1 1 1 1 .H -1, 1,11 , 1' 1 ,' 1 A M?

' ft'-'-P 9 Vile endure the impertinence of the Freshmen, punishing them only when they need chastisement more than usual, we bear with the arrogance and pusillanimity of the Juniors, and we venerate the dignity and sapience of the Seniors. Those warts on the countenance of college society-the class of 'l0- have always been our most envious, bitter, and mongrel-spirited enemies. On the evening of Oct. 1, 1907, occurred one of our numerous signal defeats at their hands. In spite of their continued efforts to the contrary, we held our first party of the year, while they, gorged by the refreshments that we had prepared for ourselves, kept indoors, and gleefully pored over their long and frequently neglected lessons. Again, in the spring of 1908, we played a game of ball with the members of this same class of 'l0. The score Was, etc. in our favor. About the time of this game, our defeated rivals posted a certain green bill on telephone poles, sidewalks, and trees all over the Hill. These bills bore expressions fin regard to usj that even Henry Watterson would hesitate to print in the editorial columns of his paper. Naturally, our enemies, instead of gaining popularity by this attack, only rendered themselves odious to the rest of the student body, and made many friends for us. T Wliatever is said against us, we are certainly all right. Several Knights of the Flunk and Con accuse us of being sleepy, because, as we are of studious habits, we d J not care to spend more than 99 per cent of our time in social activi- ties. Others allege that we are few in number, but yet we are not the smallest class in schoolg and, moreover, as we have shown, Whatever We may lack in quantity, we amply make up for it in quality, a statement that can be truthfully made of no other class except our much beloved and highly respected allies, the Seniors. Now, reader, it is time for you and me to part. Therefore, let me close with this bit of wise counsel for all future classes: If ye would gain renown and see your name written on the walls of the collegiate temple of fame, imitate and copy after, e'en though ye ne'er can equal, those who were Sophomores in the years 1908-9. 32 SOPHOMORES The Freshmen Q 554 As the student of the future gazes back over the history of South- wq western, his eye. will be immediately arrested by two golden years which stand as high above all others as will the new college .above the surrounding country. The first of these memorable years is 1908, for in it Our Class, after carefully considering the merits of the different colleges, decided that Southwestern should be its Alma Mater. V S I Thus far, we have not been disappointed in our choice. Indeed, so com- pletelytriumphant have we been, that we are almost ready to sigh like Alexander, for more worlds to conquer. We have had absolutely no opportunity to prove our valor, for with their first glance at our glory, the hearts of the puny Sopho- mores failed them, the Seniors decided to regard us as equals and brothers the first time we marched into Chapel and took the seats that pleased us, the Juniors have ever been our adoring friends, and the groveling aes are entirely beneath our notice. Now that the presidential campaign is over, the lack of excitement is really appalling, and a secret fear has crept into our hearts, that, in our effort to avoid complete stagnation, some of us may be obliged to devote our surplus energies to study. However, we hope for the best. The other date which will catch the student's eye is 1912. In that year, Southwestern will begin a period of mourning. Thenceforth, her halls will know us no more. But let her leave her selfish grief and think what rejoicing there will be in the great outside world, when we go forth to beautify and adorn its places of honor and preferment. Perhaps, then, it will be even pleasing to us to remember how our patience was tried with cons and Hunks , and looking backward, we shall proffer old Southwestern the praise, Wel1done. 35 FRESHMEN 'x :x f .M 61 will S 'i-lr' Nj , l ,Wg N M--M k , I AQ 9 n K W if 3 1364 17 IHQLM if j?

Come in, and be seated. I will give you all the information you want. In numbers, we surpass all other departments, and, as a rule, where there is quantity, there is quality. lVe are the center of Southwestern. All other Departments revolve about us, depending upon us for light. The superiority of our doings is acknowledged by all. For instance: Charles Barrett, commonly known as Hobo Charley, is the master of awonderful feat. Let it be known throughout all the kingdoms of darkness and lands of the heathen' CCollege, Normal, and Businessj that Hobo, with no inconvenience to himself, can stand bolt upright with his head on top of the ground three times in succession without a single penny dropping from his pocket. - Our attitude toward the Collegians is not friendly, but of course we tolerate them. If they with their impertinence, were in the shady realms of oblivion, then, as a natural consequence, we would be publishing the Southwestern Annual, but of course, according to the old proverb, they rush in where angels fear to tread. The Business Department? Well, we have a loathing contempt for those simple-do-littles. They appear to us in much the same manner as a hen-peeked husband does to all womandom. That is, we think of them as harmless little phules. And the Normalites? O blessings on their simple, silly, little heads! VVe can only pity, pity, pity, for they know not what they do. O Normal, N omial, how often would we have gathered thee under our wings, but ye would not! 4 Our Athletics are strictly first class. They do not consist of delightfully roaming about the campus and vicinity in a state of entrancing bliss with-er4h'rn-somebody else, as the Collegians are wont to do, and the N ormalites want to do. We do,not disguise such things under the name of athletics, or physical culture. If we wanted to win the affections of any of our class- mates fthe fairest and handsomest of Southwesternj, we should call it Hirtihg, not calisthenics. We are proud of the record our men have made on the Held of sport. In fact, without the Academy Southwestern would occupy a very insignificant position in the realm of athletics. Five of our members have prominent places on the gridiron, in basket ball we furnish onethird of the team, and in baseball one-third of the team is found in the ranks of the Preps. But in track work, we are the nobility. We have a man who can easily distance any .man the College has ever had. Every year, since the organization of the Cross Country Club, We have won the prize. Will Hodges took the prize last year, and, of course, Will this year. VirgillHayes is expected to break the record in high jumping this year, he being particularly adapted for such an event. Three of our members are in the active ministry, viz., Father Spence, Bruda Auner, and Deacon Sailor. The Deacon, during last summer's vacation, gained a vast amount of wealth selling views to his parishioners. Our Bruda has become extremely poorfbecause he cannot persuade his members to appreciate his needs, but Father Spence tells yarns to his congregation each Sunday, and so gets along very nicely. Now, Miss Race and the Model School are-What! are you going? You don't know near all.' Say, hold on there, when you report this interview to the public, mind you don't do 'no prevaricatini ' ' 38 FOURTH ACADEMY THIRD ACADEMY SECOND ACADEMY FIRST ACADEMY HENRIETTA V. RACE Miss Race is well known as a teacher in Cowley County. She completed the Normal course at Southwestern in 1897. After this, she attended Lawrence University, Appleton, WlSCOl1Sll1, where she graduated in 1900. After returning to Winfield, she taught for one year in the city high school and was then elected Superintendent of Public Instruction' in Cowley County, which office she held four years. In the fall of 1906, Miss Race was chosen as head of the Normal Department of Southwestern. 'Since that time she has been connected with this Institution, and has done very eificient work, both in her own Department and in the Department of Sociology, in which she has conducted a course. 43 Roxu-1 BAKER CLARA YVEITENHILLER Roy EVANS rc.

EL.-XM GLENNA DAY MATTIE LITTLE SENIOR NORMALS The Normal Department The School Teacher's Creed I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great to-morrow: That whatsoever the boy soweth, the man shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efiicacy of schools, ill the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all the distant hopes that lure us on. HI believe in the present and all its opportunities, in the future and its promises, and in the divine joy of living. -Grover. Count it one of the highest virtues, says Luther, to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, if any, do for their own. If there is any life-work that can at all compare with the ministry, that calls for a heart full of.love and the milk of human kindness, that requires adeep insight into human nature, a noble character, and a magnanimous personality for successful work, it is that of teaching. The teacher who succeeds must know more than merely the sub- jects he is to teach. He must be a student of the science of teaching, and he must be able to reach and to inspire the child mind. Our motto 'tlndividual Development for Social Service, which is daily impressed upon our minds by Miss Race, is, indeed, an inspiration to do the best possible work while here in order that we may do our work better when we are out of school. Pride in the past and ambition for the future make the present full of faithful endeavor. Last year state certificates were issued to graduates of the Normal Department upon graduation. This year more state certificates will be issued than last.

His musical education was received principally at Oberlin, where he studied five years, and at Stuttgart, Germany, where he had two years of subsequent study, and also did some teaching in Stuttgart Royal Conservatory. Upon his return to this country, Mr. Barbour was given a position in Cornell College as teacher of Piano, Harmony, and Counterpoint, and as Conductor of Orchestra. This position he held eight years. Since that time, he has succeeded in establishing a strong Conservatory of Music at Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa, after the failure of three directors to place Morningside Conservatory on its feet. From Morningside Mr. Barbour was recalled to Cornell to take the Directorship of the Conservatory. The same earnestness and enthusiasm that characterized his work there is being shown in Southwestern, Where he has been for the past two years. 48 7 X1 ,N JJ M., 1 gwgif 19.441 if ' student the benefit student in private educational principles in winch the st-mdfud IS equal to that of any school of music 1n the countiy Phe aim of the Depaitrnent IS to offer the very best opportunity in every branch of music study insisting upon 'i thorough and careful foundation in every hne-p1a11o, voice, violin, pipe-organ, theory of music, sight singing, and with the advantage of ensemble practice in every branch. The association of the Conservatory with the College, giving the of college culture, gives a breadth to the training in this Institution that no training can obtain. HE CONSERVATORY or Music is organized upon the basis of modem In order that a high standard may be maintained, teachers of recognized ability and experience have bee11 secured, whose enthusiasm and earncstness are creating a musical atmos- phere that is necessary for the highest attainment in the line. Recognizing the necessity of proper environment, i. e., opportunities to listen to the best, the management have from the first striven to furnish organizations which would allow the student to take part ill music-al entertainments, furnish music for societies, and fit the student to do his share in social and religious life. To that end, the different organizations of the Con- servatory have been formed. At the beginning of last school year the Oratorio Society was or- ganized. This Society, whose purpose it is to study the best choral music, is open to every mem- ber of the College, teacher and student, who will take advantage of same, and who can pass exami- nation in sight reading, Each year this Society will give a music festival where the very best in all branches of music will be offered the student at a nominal cost. Last year, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was secured for three concerts and as accompaniment for the Oratorio work of the Society, the romantic opera, Der Freischuetz, by VVeber The present year, the Cantata Fair Ellen, by Bruch, and the Beatitude, by Caesar Franck, were presented. The value of this organization to the school and community is inestimable. The excellent singing in chapel exercises and in the churches, which is tl1e direct result of tl1e work done by this organi- zation, is the best proof of its efficiency. One of the most popular organizations in the school is the College Orchestra. The lack of the ordinary student of music is the opportunity of playing and singing with others. The College Orchestra was organized for the purpose of giving the student just the discipline of this drill. The ideal of a Symphony Orchestra, in which every orchestral instrument may be used with the proper proportion of string and wind instruments, has bee11 continually in mind. The excellence of the present organization and the continual growth of the department give promise that in time the hope of such an orchestra may be realized. The orchestra was called upon to furnish music at the dedication of Trinity M. E. Church in Wichita, at the mid-winter festival in the M. E. Church at Arkansas City, and at other places. The present year has witnessed the formation of two new organizations for the betterment of Winfield musically. The Apollo Club, a ladies' organization of the city, while not composed of Southwestern ladies entirely, offers to the students the advantage of systematic study in the lines of musical history and in everything pertaining to the development of tl1e art. The Madrigal Club, composed of twenty-five selected voices, studies a class of glees, madrigals, etc., not suited for study by the Oratorio Society. This organizatio11 will do much for W'infield in a musical way. Among the student organizations that are accomplishing much for themselves and the school are several excellent vocal quartets,-notably the Delphian quartet, the College quartet, the Ladies' Trio, and the Belles Lettres quartet. The outlook for the future is encouraging. With the completion of the new college build- ing, affording convenient studios, more and better instruments, a pipe organ for the use of student practice, concerts, and recitals, much more can be accomplished than now. But by far the most encouraging factor is the feeling of 11nity i11 the school, the loyalty of the student body, and their pride in the school, all of which make it possible to accomplish great things for Southwestern and the entire Conference, 49 ' v K BLANCHE P. BARBOUR Blanche P. Barbour's musical education has been broad and thorough. She has studied, with the most prominent teachers in this country and in Europe, piano, voice and pipe organ. She has had much experience in teaching. Her last position before her connection with Southwestern was in Cornell College. Mrs. Barbour has always been successful in her work, and the College is to be congratulated upon securing her services. GRETTA COX , Miss Cox was educated in Evanston, Illinois. She began the study of the violin in Chicago at the age of nine, under a pupil of Max Benedix, with whom she studied for three years. She then continued her work under Max Benedix for two years. Upon the advice of prominent musicians of Chicago, Miss Cox took up the higher course of study with S. Jacobsohn, the renowned violin teacher and with him completed the Teacher's Certificate Course at the Chicago Musical College, taking the gold medal the same year. From 1904 to 1906, Miss Cox studied with Theodore Spuring. She came to Southwestern in 1907, and since that time has won for her- self an enviable place in the musical circles of Winfield, fun 3- LELA NILES Miss Niles was educated at Avamosa, Iowa. She studied with Professor Ezerman in Cedar Rapids, and later graduated from the Conservatory of Music of Cornell College. After her graduation, she taught for two years at Jefferson, Iowa. She came to South- western in the fall of 1908, and has, since her coming, won the praise and esteem of all whom she has met. 51. efigigm 'IXSIHE sw-sg M NEW MAN I-IARTMAN BARBOUR FOWLER The College Quartet Perhaps the most popular musical organization that Southwestern has, both at home and abroad, is the quartet. For the past three surxuners, the college has sent out a male quartet, with Dean Platte as chaperon and guide, to travel over the State in the interest of the College Since its organization, the quartet has undergone a complete change. It is at present composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. Edwin E. Newman, Bassg Mr. VV illis Hartman, Baritone, Mr. Hobart Barbour, Second Tenorg and Mr. Arch Fowler, First Tenor. The boys are all excellent singers, and have been very successful wherever they have gone. Besides their work in behalf of the College, they have filled a large number of special engagements at various places in Oklavhorna and Kansas. 52 ORCHESTRA ,, . , Y I . , QYXVVES P0040 Wm Q CQ 'Q VJ 2 si? Miss Mabel Shuyler - OUTHVVESTERN is indeed fortunate in securing Miss Mabel Shuyler as an assistant professor in the Department of Oratory. Miss Shuyler is a gradu- ate of the Southwestern School of Oratory, 05, the Southwestern Academy, '07, and the Culnnoclc School of Cratory, '08. While still a student here, she was a popular reader with Winfield people. And as a student of the Cuninock School, she was also well re- ceived by her audiences. She will be a valuable assistant to Professor Gilson in his growing Department of Oratoiy. I Professor Franklin L. Gilson ROFESSOR GILSON received his 'Ph. B. degree from Upper Iowa Univer- sity in 1899. The following year, he graduated from the Cumnock School of Oratory. Professor Gilson came to South- western in 1901, and, in point of service, is the oldest member of the faculty. He has made the School of Oratory one of the strong- est departments of the College. Just recently it was found necessary to employ an assistant. The eliicient work of this Department is well illustrated by the showing of Southwestern in the State Oratorical Contests and by the excellent readers that have been its graduates. Professor Gilson is recognized as one of the best instructors of Oratory in tl1e Southwest, and, as a reader, is enthusiastically received wherever he goes. School of Oratory HE aim of the Southwestern School of Oratory is to enable iis students to speak the English language distinctly and correctly: to express the masterpieces of English literature with true mean- ing and feelingg to address an audience easily and forcibly. Its graduates are numbered among the best readers and speakers of the Southwest. A A b T Graduating Recital Miss Ruth Philo Assisted by J.

E. Lowe. The Department now began to take an active part in the curriculum of the College. In 1902, Professor Lowe was succeeded by Professor John F. Phillips, wl1o had previously gradu- ated from the College Department. In 1906, Professor Phillips resigned to accept the Chair of Mathematics in the College. Professor Eldon E. Baker, who had formerly been a teacher in the high-schools of Iowa, was chosen to fill the vacancy. Since his coming, the Department has steadily grown.

M27-4:11 ' ' .MTTQV . - .xigfig : - Mae Ilistorical N the latter part of the year 1889 was organized the Athenian Literary Society of Southwestern College. Previously there had been but one literary society in the school, the Cadmus, whose membership was composed of both ladies and gentlemen. All the meetings of this society were open to the public, and its membership was unlimited. Consequently, some felt that it did not offer sufficient opportunity for those unskilled in literary work. They be- lieved that a society for men only, with a limited membership, having only occasional open meetings, would best accomplish the purpose ol' a literary organization. With these ideas in mind the Athenian Literary Society was founded. room upstairs, in the house still standing at 301 North Huston Street, the organization was effected. The plan of organization was modeled after that of the House of Representatives, with a Speaker and Clerk. The membership was limited to thirty-two, which was soon afterwards changed to thirty-six. There were twelve charter members, the signatures of whom are given on page seventy-two as they appeared in connection with the first constitution. The first Speaker was W. F. Tomlinson: the first Clerk, E. D. Smith. The regular time of meeting of the society was at first ou Monday evening. Changes have been made in the time since then, and at present the society meets on Friday evening. For some time the new organization was kept secret. It was finally announced by an open meeting in what is now the Library room. The first honorary member of the society was no less a personage than Bishop WV. X. Ninde. Considerable interest, incidental to the Bishop's becoming a member of the society, was attracted at the time. He was to speak at the college in the spring of 1890. The society, having voted him an honorary membership, sent a committee of Athenians to meet him at W'ichita and they secured his acceptance. As a sign of his membe1'ship, he wore the badge of the society during the entire day at Winfield, much to the discomfiture of the Cadmians. ' In 1894 Athens won her first great triumph in oratory. John XVesley NVetzel, now a teacher of oratory in Yale University, then a member of the Athenian Literary Society, won first place in the local oratorical contest, and also first place in the state contest with an oration on The Province of Faith. This marked the beginning of the illustrious record of Athens in oratory. On November 2-ith, 1896, after nearly eight years of existence, Athens was formally chartered under the laws of the State of Kansas. - One of the potent influences in developing orators in Athens has been the Annual Athenian Oratorical Contest open only to members of the society. The record for May 12, 1897, states, Mr, Robbins proposed a plan for an Athenian Oratorical Contest, which was approved of, and for which the society extended to Mr. Robbins their most hearty thanks. Whether or not a contest was actually held that spiing, it is impossible to say. On the evening of May 27, 1898, however, an Athenian Oratorical Contest was held. Thus the custom of holding annual society oratorical contests was begun in Athens, and, with the exception of the year 1900, has been con- tinued ever since. In addition to her intellectual activities, Athens has taken an interest in social affairs. In the spring of 1900 the society held an annual banquet, the first of an unbroken series of Athenian 70 banquets. A more recently developed social event is the Athenian reception to the Belles Lettres commonly held in the Fall Term. One of the most beneficial plans which the society has tried in recent years was put into effect in the early part of the year 1905. It was a provision that the members be drilled for their numbers on the society programs by the teacher of oratory of the college. On May 25, 1906, the society voted to hold annually a debate on the third meeting of the Spring Term. The time of this debate has since been changed, but it is still an annual event in the affairs of the organization. It has proved very beneficial in training society members and in preparing them to maintain the record of Athens in intercollegiate debate. Recently, on account of the increased college enrollment, the limit of the active member- ship was increased from thirty-six to forty-eight. During the past year this innovation has proved quite satisfactory. At present the society has its full quota of members, and is in a most flourishing condition. Its programs have never been stronger or better attended. The large number of able men that have entered the society this school year bespeaks a bright and successful future for Athens. ATHENS IN ORATORY The record of Athens in oratory is indeed enviable. Fourteen of the seventeen times that Southwestern has been represented in the state oratorical contests the representative has been an Athenian. All the first places, all the second places, and all the third places which Southwestem has won in the state contests have been won by Athenians. The following is the list of Athenian representatives in the state oratorical contests: J. W. Wetzel Q1894jg D. D. Hoagland Cl895Jg C. W. Meyer C1896 and 18985, J. C. Fisher 1189935 Louis Allen Q1900, 1901, and 19045, R. R. Hamilton Q1902 and 190313 W. E. Broadie C1905Jg G. A. Kraft 41906 and 1907j3 H. L. Gleeker 09085, F. H. Ebright 419095, L. M. Simes, the Prohibition Oratorical Contest, C1909j. Mr. Simes also won first place in the State contest. ATHENS IN DEBATE Athens has produced winning debaters as well as winning orators. In the ten inter- collegiate debates in which Southwestern has participated Athens has never failed to have a. representative. Once all the team were Athenians. Seven other times two members of the team were members of Athens. Of the twenty-nine male representatives of Southwestern in inter- collegiate debate, twenty, or about two-thirds, were Athenians. They are as follows: Willis Cole and G. W. Meredith Q189SD, W. J. lVebcr and Robert Romig 4189952 Oscar Huddleston 090025 R. R. Hamilton and XV. J. Weber 1190155 NV. T. Ward, NVilbur Broadie, and RJ.

Hamilton and Stedman Amis 119095. ATHENS AMONG THE ALUMNI Athens is well represented among the alumni of the school. Of the ninety men who have graduated from the college fifty-three have been Athenians. A majority of the men in nine of the eighteen graduating classes have been members of the Athenian Literary Society. And in three graduating classes all the men have been members of Athens. Ministers, missionaries, teachers, editors, lawyers, and business men may be found here and there, some near their alma mater, others in distant states or in foreign climes, who once owed allegiance to the crimson banner of Athens. 71 ' L CHARTER MEMBERS OF ATHENS I-Eirjg 3 , '- ??f-Alf: Belles Lettres Roll EIIIIA BERNS'1'0RF, President BIYRTLE SMITH, Vice President.

F C 76 J Historical N a certain evening in January, sciine years ago, a college maiden tripped ,X ' lightly down the stairs in the girs dormitory. QUT . L Have you heard the news? she was asked by one of the boarders, 1 J XJ a young man, as she entered the dining-room. 'X Cx-5 v No, what is it? 'fy W e have a new litera.ry society in school. Some of us boys organized X Af it before the holidays. Now, as we have a society for boys only, why don't fl cf fz-2 some of you girls start a girl's society? The suggestion seemed good to the young lady, and she resolved to talk to some of her girl friends about it. This lady, Miss Eleanore Hayes, is now a member of the Southwestern faculty, and the young man is one ofthe charter members of Athens. True to her resolve, Miss Hayes did mention the matter of a new society to some of her classmates. A meeting, held in the dormitory parlors, was largely attended by the young women of the college. Nineteen en- tgigsiastie girls werel found who were willing to undertake the work, and to seek to overcome the ti icu ties wiich aways confront a new organization. The lirst question to be decided was, 'tWhat will be our name? Finally the matron of the dormitory suggested that they name the new society for her old society, the Belles Lettres, at Jacksonville, Illinois, where she had attended college. This suggestion was accepted, and it so happened that the Belles Lettres Literary Society came into existence early in 1890. The motto, Nulla Vestigia I'Gi'fl'0SllIl1,H and the colors, scarlet and gold, were chosen. The first president was Pearl Van Doren, a senior girl of that year. After college opened in the fall of 1890, the society ipvvezl to the Belles Lettres-Athenian hall in the College, and together with Athens, furnished it c uring the year. From the first, Athens was a good friend to Belles, and as they worked together so har- moniously fitting up their home, well-'t is the old, old story. Belles became so popular that Athens began to desire even a closer relationship than that of friend, and one day actually pro- posed. Ol course, Belles was proud to receive such flattering attention. But she felt that she could fulhll l1er mission better as a. separate society. However, she was willing to always be a sister. Thus it happens that she has a brother Athens. The society continued to grow during the next three years. Then followed three years of comparative inactivity. This was due to the fact that there were so few students, for that was the period when old Southwestern herself was passing through severe trials. In 1897 prosperity refairned tio flue school, and thelsociety was revivedi TheTeolors Yer? changed to old gold and w iite, ana t. ie motto was trans ated into p ain Ing ish, ho step ac 'ward. Perhaps much of Belles Lettres history could be set forth by recording the achievements of some of her leaders. Madeline Southard, the preacher and lecturer, received her first training in public speaking in Belles. She won a place on the debate tea'n which met Fairmount in 1893 Ella Malone, Clariee Hales, and Myrtle Rose won similar honors in later years. Minnie Gould, after leaving Belles, represented Oklahoma University in oratory. Minnie Irwin, another Belle, is now a ngissionary in Malay. Last year, Belles won four of the six places in the girls' inter- society de ate contest. The weekly programs are now open to visitors, and are held on Thursday evenings. These programs, from the first, have consisted of readings, orations, music, papers, and debates given by some of the best talent of the school. A large per cent. of the membership is girls of the college department. Early in the history of the soeiet.y, the custom of giving a May Day program grew up, and it is still cpnfinued. This program, each year, is among the best and most largely attended entertainments o t ie year. 11111902 the first 'Belles Banquet was given, and with the exception of one year, it has been an annua event evex' since. Another social event is the reception for Athens. Many of Belles' public appearances are when she comes out in full force to cheer Athens oln to victory inldebate or oratory. If it happens that she, also, has a representative in the contest, s ie expresses 'ier sentiments thus: Hippity-hi, hippity-hus, XVe like Athens, they like us: But we want the Belles to win, Just to show them that we kin.

It is no easy matter to build up a new society when an old one, long estab- lished and influential, is already on the ground. But how well those few men, and those who followed them, did their work is seen in the prosperous con- dition of the society to-day. The Delphians, now the most numerous organi- zation in school, meet in their own well furnished and handsomely decorated hall-well equipped for the work which they are doing. Delphi is justly proud of her representatives among the alumni of the school, four of them missionaries in the foreign field, several of them lawyers teachers, and ministersg and others occupying positions of trust in the com- mercial world. It is unnecessary to speak of the honors won by the Delphians for the story of their achievements is found in the history of the achievements of the College. Aside from the other literary work that is done in the society, especial attention is given to debate and oratory. ln addition to the debates which constitute a part of each weekly program, an annual team debate is held each spring. The society also holds an annual oratorical contest. But the literary training is not the only work that is done. A spirit of fellowship among the men is encouraged, and the social life is developed. Each fall a reception is given to the students, and the social event of the year is the Banquet that is held each spring. Delphi does not believe in destructive competition, and makes no fight on any society, but, wishing her neighbors well, she goes on, in a spirit of friendly rivalry, training her men and winning victories, priding herself on the achieve- ments of the past, and looking forward with the hope of still greater success in the years to come. 80 1 V x:1+?.- . --e,--,f-,fi-,f . , -- , , f . v- 5, - Hg, C :1-f ,.,-lql , QA. - -.

The table was a Grecian square, ri sight for kings to see, The cent er showed a lily pond, ferns, flowers, and palm trees tln The light bulbs made our emblems in colors green and white. There were cozy corners, rugs, and favors too. But the menu it was great, to every one's delight, And the toasts were very witty, it is true.

Captain The Kansas College Athletic Conference This Conference, often spoken of as the Topeka Conference, is composed of the principal colleges and universities of the State, among them being: University of Kansas, State Agricultural College, State Normal School, VVashburn College, Fairmount College, Southwestern College, College of Emporia, St. Mary's College, Friends' University, Ottawa University, Bethany College, Baker University, Kansas lllesleyan University, llfestern Branch Normal School, and McPherson College. Representatives from the faculties of each of these institutions meet about the first of March each year, and adopt eligibility rules governing contests in Athletics. These rules are printed and sent to the various colleges for their information and guidance. The purpose of the state association is to secure uniformity in athletics among the educa- tional institutions. Southwestern has been contesting under these rules for several years, but sent a repre- sentative to the annual meeting for the first time in March, 1906. The faculty officially adopted the rules of the Conference and insist on their enforcement, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that there has been no intentional violation of any of these rules at Southwestern.

Armin, of Beloit, Wisconsin, arrived here in September to take up his duties as coach, he found Southwestern' s chances for a good football team rather poor. While there were twenty-eight men out for practice at the first call, and this later increased to thirty- five, yet- among them were only four of last year's regulars. However, Coach determinedly set to work to develop the new men as best he could. He was suc- cessful to a surprising degree. We did not win the majority of our games, but when the facts are considered that we, as a whole, were playing much better teams than Southwestern had ever before played, and that our team was composed mostly of new men, it will be seen that our team was after allasuccess. On December, 31st, the Third Annual Football Banquet was held at the Y. W. C. A. house. Excellent toasts were given by Coach Armin, Captain Hamilton, Miss Esther Hagen, and Mr. Elbert Morgan. FAIRMOUNT AGAIN WINNER Defeats Southwestern by Punting of Bates, 17 to 0. Wichita, Kas., Nov. 26.-Fairmount defeated Southwestern today by a score of 17 to O. While the score has the appear- ance of a one-sided game, it was far from that. In fact, Southwestern is a stronger team than Fairmount on line work and they have greater strength, but do not have a man who can punt like Bates and it was this same punting which won the game for Fairmount. On line bucking the Winfield men had the best of it, and they could easily run the hall into Fair- mount's territory. The only way Fair- mount could get the ball back to South- western land was by the punting of Bates or by the forward pass, which they Worked well. In fact, Fairmount did better with the forward pass than ever before. Thayer made a touchdown by catching a. forward pass and making a run of ten yards. G. Solter made a touchdown by getting through the line after the ball had been put almost to the goal by a forward pass. It was due to a blocked ball that Thayer made his second touch down. Southwestern had the ball and were close to their own goal and attempted to punt. The ball was blocked and Thayer had it down before many of the players could tell where it was. All through the game tl1e errors that Southwestern made were costly. Samuels, Emporia, refereeg Ise, K. U., umpire, Brummage, William Jewell, field judge, Gardner, M.

Armin, of Beloit, Wisconsin, was secured in the Fall of 1908 as Director of Athletics for Southwestern. He is a, graduate of Beloit College, at which place he also received his later athletic training. His early athletic training was received at Yank- ton College, Yankton, South Dakota. VVhile at Beloit, he won a B in football, basket ball, baseball and track-a record which no other person has made at Beloit. Mr. Armin has successfully carried us through football and basketball, and is now training our baseball and track teams. In- dications are that he will be as successful with the latter as he has been with the former. nm: were THE EVOLUTION OF A FOOTBALL PLAYER I03 f if Q 0 I kgs 4 Q ,O . f my L , 3 si? Southwestcrn's basket ball teams have without a doubt been successful. The men's team played nine games, winning six of them by high seo1'es. It always sounds bad to hear a team give excuses and reasons for losing games, but having lost three games to teams which either before or since we have defeated thoroughly, we feel that a sort of explanation is due. The first game lost was with Friends on their court. NVe had our regular team intact and each man ready to play the game of his life, but we lost by a score of thirty-nine to fifty-nine Friend's court is narrow, with posts jutting out onto the floorg it has alow ceiling and the lighting is decidedly poor. Every person who has watched any of the Travelers' games this year realizes to what a great extent the team depends upon tezun-work for its results. At Friends, team-work was altogether out of the question. The two teams were bunehed together, long passes were impossible, and the poor lighting made speedy handling of the ball just an excuse to throw it out of bounds. It is true that our men did not play the game of which they were capable even under such adverse conditions, but this was an early game and the team had 11ot yet learned to depend upon themselves. The game on our home floor in which the Travelers' defeated Friends fifty-one to nineteen shows that something was decidedly wrong in the first game. On our three-game trip we lost two games, winning one from Ottawa. At sometime during every athletic season, the laws of nature seem to require the athlete to rest, and if he does not obey, he pays the penalty by losing his ability. The day of our trip this epidemic attacked our men, and they could not take the needed lay-oli Captain Lindley had been in bed for a week previous and the doetor's orders were for him not to make the trip. Having no available subs, he went along, but at no time was he strong enough to play his accustomed game. Baker outplayed us on their court, and there is no question about it. Accor ding to games played in the State, Baker and Southwestern have equal claims for the college championship. The Normal game was a sea-saw game with the Normals two points ahead when the whistle blew. Southwestern, however, having defeated them badly once, besides having the dope on them in other games played, has the better claim and there is no ' question but that she has the better team of the two. The Southwestern girls' basket ball team has reason to feel proud of its reco1'd. Especially is this true in View of the fact that this is the first girls' team for three years. Out of seven games played they lost but two, these being the first games of the season. lt was with hesitation that the faculty gave the girls permission to play outside games. But after the season had opened and they saw that the girls were working in earnest and conscientiously endeavoring to obtain results, opposition gradually lessened and seven games were allowed instead of three as at first intended. Lack of team-work was the first great weakness of the girls' team, but this they gradually overcame, and in the last few games of the season, they proved to the satisfaction of all that Southwestern not onlv had a winning men's team, but a girl's team that would bring home its share of the laurels. 104 FRANKS HENLEY WALLINGFORD LINDLEY HAMILTON The Team, ,07- '08 JOE N.

The fact that the game is played in an open manner, coupled with the fact that it is better understood than other games, gives it this place. The season of 1908 was the most successful that Southwest- ern has experienced for five years. Three-four1'hs of the college games were won. Our excellent showing was largely due to Coach Houston-the man who has always stood by us at the bottom, He has won an the students, and Southwestern is proud to claim him as an alumnus. Our chances for a good team this spring are not as bright as they have been. However, almost every evening finds from forty to fifty men out for practice. Only a few ol' last year's stars are among them, but with these to form a nucleus, we will be able, under the direction of Coach Armin, to put out a credible team. An excellent schedule has been arranged. It includes a trip through the eastern part of the State, during which will be played six games. 108 PROF. BAKER GROOM BRANNON E.

This has not been due to any lack of material, but rather to the want of some sufficiently interested preson to take old of the work and make it go. We have men in school who have broken a number of the records made at the State meets, and this year, since we have a trainer, we should be able to eclipse any of our previous records. The Manager has arranged with Fairmount College, of Wichita, for a track meet to take place in Winfield, and also for a cross-country run contest. Neither date has been set definitely, but the track meet will come off in May, and the cross-country-run probably in April In past years we have had some good track teams, and we are working now with a view of again getting in line with this work. Present indications are that we will have the best team this spring in the histo1'y of the institution. Cross Country Run Club ' The Cross-Country-Run Club was organized, under the direction of Dean Platts, in the fall of 1907, and the first contest was held the next spring. First place, and a prize valued at ten dollars, was won by Will Hodges, an Academy student. The distance cov- ered was five miles, over the rough- est and rockiest road that could be found. The time was thirty- three and one half minutes. Last year there were only five entries, but the club has increased to such an extent that there should be at least Hfteen entries this spring. The prizes this year will be given by Dean Flatts and President Mossmang the value of fil- teen dollars to the winner of first place and ten dollars to the winner of second place. Those who enter the contest must conform to the rules laid down as to the number of miles covered each week by the runners. The contest 5 fa this spring, will take place in April. 1 '-' E as is -A B E ,-, C mfhg gli T T I' 'W.cLRUD1-7vRUrmfsoaE- 09 112 TRACK TEAM Hamilton Cup N the college year of 1905-06, Mr. Robert Hamilton, graduate of Southwestern, class of 1903, out of regard for the interest of the school and in order to aid the activities of the athletic department, ollered a prize cup to the class of the College department which shall win the most points in three out of four successive field meets. In the spring of 1906, first place was taken by the class of '09, in 1907 and 1008, the class of '10 won with scarcely any opposition. This spring, although one or two of the other classes seem to think that they have some chance of winning, there is no doubt but that the class of '10 will again Win by even a greater total of points than in the two years just past, thus securing the cup for good for the renowned class of 1910. Annual Inter-High-School Track Meet and Oratorical Contest WO years ago the Southwestern Academy, under the eadership of Professor Dunlevy, extended an invitation to the various High Schools of Southwest Kansas, for a day of inter-scholastic contests. The invitation was accepted with readiness by numerous schools, and May 5, 1907, witnessed the largest body of people ever gathered on Southweste1'n's Athletic Park. The winners of this year's contests were as follows: Track meet, Mulvane with thirty-one pointsg oratorical contest, Chester Farnsworth, of Oxford, highest num- ber of individual points in athletic contests, Cdie Pyle, of Anthony. So marked was the success ol' the contests that the invitation was repeated the following year. The contests held May 2, 1908, surpassed those of the previous year in spirit and interest. Over one hundred athletes entered the athletic events, and over fourteen hundred people witnessed the oratorical contest. The prizes, including medals, cups, and cash, were the most elaborate ever given in a Kansas inter-scholastic meet. Free entertainment was furnished to all the con- testants. The winners of the contest Were: Track, Arkansas City with 38 points, highest number of individual points, Odie Pyle, of Anthony, oratorical contest, George Probst, Arkansas City. The date set for the third annual meet and contest is May 7, 1909. Preparations are being made for the largest and most extensive contest yet held. Almost all of the larger schools of Southwest Kansas have signified their intention of entering. On account of the absence of Pro- fessor Dunlevy, the management has been turned over to Mr. Joe N. Hamilton, who spends a considerable portion of his time visiting and wo1'king with the track teams of the various schools. In speaking of these contests, we should not fail to mention Mr. Andrew W'ilson, who has, ever since the plan of contests started, aided us each year by the gift of two beautiful cups- one, the Wilson Trophy, given to the athletic team scoring the most points ,the othe1', the VVilson Loving Cup, given to the individual scoring the highest number of points.

U Tennis FISHER VAUGHAN FARNER WELLS CAROL ALBRIGHT LULU YETTER LIABEL M,MILLAN MABEL J ENNINGS Tennis is receiving more attention this year than ever before in the history of Southwestern. A club, composed of about forty students, has been organized, and on pleasant days the courts are always full from four o'clock until dusk. A schedule has been inade out so that each person may know which court he has and at what hour. In this way everyone has an opportunity for practice. Some of the ladies, as well as the gentlemen, are becoming quite expert at the game, and it is expected that several tournaments will take place this spring. Mr. Wells, the manager, is now negotiating with Friends University, of VVichita, for a series of games, and it is hoped that he will be able to secure a tournament with some other college as well. A local contest was held the first of the year in order to choose the best eight players, four ladies and four gentlemen. The following were finally successful: W. A. Wells, E. F. Farmer, Fisher, Herbert Vaughan, Lulu Yetter, Mabel McMillen, Carol Albright, and Mabel Jennings. 117 OF HE , 2 Ira Beach Ira.

The importance of this department of educational development is M -V fully recognized in Southwestern, as will be shown by a glance at our record in contests. To further this Work and to help in creating and maintaining an interest in oratory, the local Oratorical Association has been organized and is one of the most wide-awake organiza- tions in the school. The annual contests, which are held in the College chapel, are among the most important events of the school year. These have practically taken the form of society contests, and the enthusiastic spirit manifested in the support of the orators on these occasions is intense. This has a healthful influence in creating deeper interest and arousing the orators to greater efforts. No less important is the fact that through this Association we are brought in touch with the other colleges of the state. The orator each year is accompanied by two delegates, of whom the winner of second place in the local contest is first delegate. Southwestern is justly proud of her record in these state contests. Four times in the last eight years we have taken first place in delivery. In the seventeen contests in which we have been represented we have taken first place twice, second place twice, third place four times, and fourth place three times, making eleven out of the seventeen contests in which we have taken one of the first four places. This is a remarkable record when we consider that we have been in con- test with eight or ten schools.

His orution, The Message of .lean Vul Jean, which he revised for the local contest this year, and which he will use in the State contest, is u most excellent literary production. His delivery is very pleasing and with the druxnatic and tragic touches in his oration he holds his audience spellhound. He is it good student and has been active and prominent in the various activities ol the school. having been 11. member of the college quurtctte two seasons and also a member of the footlmll and base- l'mll teams. He is 11. senior this year, and will be greatly missed in the halls of Southwestern. 125 H. L. Gleckler The subject of this sketch is one of the strongest men Southwestern has ever produced. His record here has been a good one, both from the viewpoint of scholarship and also as a leader in other college activities. He was twice a member of the debate team which defeated Ottawa, lust year being the leader of the team. His record in oratory is also an enviable one, having won the Athenian contest in the spring of 1907, as well as first place in the local contest of 1908, and fourth place in the State contest. of that year. His style of oratory is peculiarly western, being forceful, vigorous, and convincing, rather than polished and eloquent. Mr. Gleckler graduated last spring and is at present attending Chicago University. Local Contest College Chapel, Friday Evening Invocation .....,, Oration ....,.... Oration ..,......

In that year, there were four entries for the local contest, and Miss Ada Herr represented the college. The interest in the Association and its work is steadily increasing, and it is now firmly established as one of the im- portant organizations of the school. In each of the last two contests, there were six orators and their work was of a high class. These contests have the advantage of being open to all depart- ments of the school.

He has twice helped to defeat Ottuvvii in dehnte, won the Athenian orutorical contest, and this year rep- resents Southwestern in the State contest of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, hzwing won first place in the contest of the local league, and also First place in the State contest. His orzttion is n masterful production, clear-cut and convincing in logical arguments. and his dclivcry is forceful and pleasing. Though in style somewhat more of ri delmter than an orator, Mr. Simes has developed remarkably in this respect in the Inst year. B. W. Folsom Mr. Folsom bcgim his oratorical career during his first year in Sontluvestern, winning second place in the Prohibition contest. The some year he won first place in the Delphian Oratorical contest, and lust year represented the school in the State Prohibition contest at lVlcPl1ersou, ranking second. His oration, The Ax ut. the Root, is a good strong production, taking first rank in thought. This year Mr. Folsom took second plnce in each of the local contests, ranking first. in thought in both instances. His plat- form zqipeumnce is pleasing and easy, and he holds his audience well.

PJ Nw insignia of truth and takes personal liberty for its watchword. Therefore, 'wish fr o.. .L . proclaim him as he is. , More than half a century ago the saloon forces began to make the hollow plea before the courts of the land that prohibition endangered the freedom of the individual. With pretended patriotism they declared that the abolition of the saloon infringed upon the constitutional privi- leges of American citizenship. The Supreme Court passed judgment upon these sophistries. It swept them away like cobwebs. Decision after decision was handed down. Finally, in the ease of Crowley vs. Christensen, the Court delivered an opinion, approved by every member of that judicial tribunal, and written in such definite and forceful terms that none could misunderstand its meaning. This decision declared that the saloon is one of the greatest crime-breeders of the civilized world, that the retailing of alcoholic liquors is not an inherent right- of citizenship, and that the restriction or entire prohibition of the liquor traffic does not infringe upon the liberty of the individual. But some may think that court decisions alone do not prove prohibition consistent with personal freedom. To them I would say-if the law does not satisfy you, look at the facts. G0 to the great metropolis, where the liquor traffic runs unchecked, save for that monopoly of abomination, the license system. Read the tale of thraldom written upon the faces of ten- thousand drunkards, whose souls are enslaved as by letters of brass. Visit the almshouses and call the Drink T yrant's roll of helpless paupers. Go to the asylums and hear the maniac scream in his madness as he tries to tear himself from his iron-barred prison. Then come back, to the plains and prairies of Kansas. Come back to the state where no man can sell alcoholic liquors as 2. beverage. Breathe the pure, free air that blows upon the flower-decked prairies. See the empty jails, the unpeopled poorhouses, the uncrowded prisons. Look into the keen, clearleyes of the sober, honest, upright American citizens. Then, ask yourselves, Where is the larger liberty to the individual? Where lives the true freedom that was bought by the shock of revolution and hallowed by the blood of patriots? Is it in the great city with its soul bondage and its sin? Or is it in the sober manhood of the state Where prohibition reigns? And I hear the answer,-in the land where the saloon is outlawed, there is the larger freedom, there personal liberty is truly enthroned. But I will go a step farther. Prohibition is not only consistent with personal freedom, but is also, in the larger sense, essential to it. The liquor traffic is the arch-enemy of individual liberty. A century and a quarter ago the United Colonies threw off the yoke of their British taskmasters and proclaimed that America was free. But as public sentiment deyeloped, we looked, and behold, it was not so. Another bloody conflict was Wagedg the black man's chains were brokeng and, when the war-cloud vanished, again we triumphantly declared that liberty reigned. But to-day we are not yet free. Another contest is yet to be waged, not in the smoke of battle, but in court rooms, in legislative halls, and at the ballot-box. Though wounded from many a fight and weakened by many a defeat, the liquor traffic still lives to mock our freedom. He is the tyrant that clamps the shackles of sin upon rnen's souls. In the political World he defies 129 the statesman and draws his cords of bondage about the legislator and the administrator of justice. The sovereigm hand of American citizenship must sign his death warrant ere liberty can live unfettered. The liquor trafltic is antagonistic to personal liberty not only because it is a slaveholder but also because it is an anarchist. The paramount characteristic of the liquor business is dis- regard for law. Ever since restrictive legslation has been applied to the saloon, that legislation has been evaded and broken. To-clay the liquor business is synonomous with lawlessness. It propagates the criminal and nourishes the anarchist. But where liberty is, law must be. The only individual freedom that any nation enjoys is the freedom guaranteed by its statutes. Let every man remember, said Abraham Lincoln, that to violate the law is to trample upon the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. And so, I ask you, docs it look as if the prohibition of the liquor trafiie restrains personal liberty? Is it a restriction of individual freedom to prohibit slavery and to throttle anarchy? And would it further the cause of liberty to permit the anarchist and the cut-throat to commit their crimes unhindered? Ah, no. The hollow claims of the liquor dealer lead us to exclaim as did Madame Roland, when the French Revolution, in the midst of its orgies, was about to take her life, O Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name! The true concept of personal freedom is far different. Yonder among the barbaric Teutons of Northern Europe the true individual liberty grew and developed. It was the spirit that destroyed the Roman legions of Varus in the Teutonberg forestg the spirit that inspired the Swiss Cantons to defeat the armies of the Ilapsburgs at Morgarten and Sempachg the spirit that wrung the Magna Charta from the reluctant fingers of King Johng the spirit that impellcd William the Silent and his countrymen to cut the dikes of Holland and give up their homes to the waves of the ocean, rather than yield to Philip, the tyrant of Spain: the spirit that founded New England, that weve itself into the warp and wool' of American colonial institutions, and that led to the establishment of a new nation with freedom as its cornerstone and individual liberty as the constitutional endowment of its every citizen. But what of the conflict against the arch-enemy of personal liberty? Read the facts as they areg the cause of righteousness is steadily, surely, inevitably advancing. Within the past two years Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, and Oklahoma have all taken their places in the prohibition ranks. To-day the sun shines upon thirty-five millions of American people, living on prohibition soil. The time is coming when every star in the flag will be astar of a prohibition state. But even then the eoniiict will not end. Laws must be enforcedg habits must be eradicated, political influences must be eounteracted. O youth of America, endowed with the choicest opportunities of History's sublimest age, instructed by the recorded footprints of past generations, you are summoned to the combat. The call of Jehovah that sounded for Israel's prophet rings out for you, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? No glittering reward is held out, no position of power, no golden crown, no emolument, no glory,-only the opportunity to stand for truth and right. T he disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. The greatest reformer of all ages ended his earthly career amidst a jeering mob, nailed to a cross like a common criminal, and with a coronet of thorns plaited about his kingly brow. Wliat ease, what glory, what plaudits of the crowd can you, then, expect! But, O Warrior of Righteousness, when thy course is run, when thy battles are fought, though the final victory may not yet have- come, despair thou 'not- Another hand thy sword shall wield, Another hand the standard wave, Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed The blast of triumph o'er thy gravef' The victory of personal liberty is as inevitable as the laws that hold the stars in their courses and turn the worlds in space! The God of Heaven reigns: his truth will triumph! 130 Oratorical Prizes Oratorical Association Contest 1908 First prize, 5525, given by the Winfield Courier '.......

SEVERANCE GLEN ROBINSON Young Men's Christian Association JF HE purpose of the Y. M. C, A. is to produce full-rounded men, who shall take ?v'kff Q3 Christ as their ideal, and who shall seek for the higher development in every day life. The Association in Southwestern has been a great factor in the 5.4 J j moulding of the lives of the student body. Its membership includes nearly J l ' all of the men in College. The testimony of the graduates of Southwestern and of men in College now, both oi' whom say that the Association has had a lasting influence on their lives, is the best evidence that the aim ofthe Y. M. C. A. is being realized. ling reg ffm?-x The local Association takes a very important part in the social life of thc College. The stag socials each year have become a permanent feature, and are very popular with the men of the school, The joint receptions given by the Y. M. C. A. andthe Y, W , C. A, are also well attended. The expenses of the year, about three hundred dollars, are entirely covered by subscrip- tions from the student body and the faculty. Our subscriptions to thc various state, national, and foreign enterprises are the highest in the State in proportion to our College enrollment, The inter-state convention fund, raised for the purpose of sending men to the Cascade convention, is raised by the students, who work out poll taxes. Each fall a student's Hand-Book, costing from one hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty dollars, is published. This book serves not only as an excellent advertising medium, but also as-a guide and memorandum for the students. Perhaps the greatest help to the student is derived from the series of life-work talks that are given every spring, covering almost every occupation. These meetings are pronounced by the students the most helpful of any held during the year. Great stress is laid upon Bible and foreign mission study, and as a consequence the enrollment in these departments is steadily in- creasing. The Sunday afternoon meetings are characteristic ol' the Association, and are es- pecially beneficial. Here the men meet and discuss questions that are particularly helpful and all kneel together in the sincere and true worship of God. Faith My soul was sad and sore distressed, And Doubt made me despair, Till I sought Faith at Christ's behest, Kneeling to God in humble prayer. She came to me so like a dove, And nestled in my soul, And bade me trust in God above, Whatever billows roll. And now I trust to Him my all, To lead me o'er life's bars, NY ho e'en doth note the sparrow's fall, And guides the course of stars. O simple Faith! e'er dwell with me, And guide my steps aright, Through storms that rend life's troubled sea, Show me God's shining light! O let it shine through all the years, Where'er my feet may roam, And brighter shine in toil and tears, Till Christ shall lead me home. C. M.

ROBINSON 133 f 1 , . .4 .,' 5 J Young Women's Christian Association HE past two years l1ave been the best in the history of the Young VVornen's i.- Christian Association of Southwestern. There has been a growth, not so fl ,gm much in numbers, as in the depth and earnestness of individual lives. Girls 'M have felt. the Divine touch, have responded to it, and have gone forth to speak with their lives for the Master. In 1907 the Association was represented at the State Convention at ' - Ottawa by Minnie Irwin and Flossie Stone, and at the Summer Conference at Cascade, Colo., by Ada Morgan. Mission and Bible Study classes were conducted, socials and receptions were held, calls were made, and flowers sent to the sick. Every department of the work was enlarged and broadened, and the Association touched all departments of the College as it had never done before. But perhaps the one thing that characterized that year was the pur- chasing of their Y. W. C. A. Home. For some time the girls had felt the need of a real home for the young women on the Hill. They had planned and worked toward that end, until in the fall of 1907, they were able to purchase the Newman House. They were aided by President Moss- man, who really made it possible, but aside from his help, the girls did the work themselves, each one pledging herself for a definite amount to meet the first payment. Then came a house to house, and store to store canvas for furniture, until with the addition of some eight hundred and fifty dollars, they had the house most beautifully furnished. The members of the Association have done the managing and caring for the House themselves, without the aid of a secretary, and have been fully repaid for their work. They have had something to strive for, and the experience gained will mean much in later years. During the summer of 'US the girls raised, besides their ordinary expenses, one hundred dollars of the passage-money of one of their number, Miss Minnie Irwin, who went as a missionary to Malaysia. During the same summer, beginning to have more confidence in their ability Hto do things, they again undertook a heavy responsibility, that ol' taking charge of the dining hall during the Epworth League Institute. The managing was done by two of their members, Mrs. Mossman and Miss Flossie Stone, and the girls, sacrificing the pleasure and profit of the Institute. waited tables, punched tickets, ran errands, washed dishes, and worked in the kitchen. Without soliciting any aid whatever, they were given many donations of groceries by merchants of the town, and of time and assistance by the college boys, and by girls of the town interested in the Associa- tion. When all accounts were settled up, and there was found to be a balance of a large experience and three hundred and seven dollars to their credit, the girls felt fully repaid for their aches, tears, and bliste1's. They applied this money on their house, putting in a bath and other conveniences, ' At the summer conference at Cascade, they 'were represented by five girls, an increase of four over the preceding summer. Aurilla Hoagland, Mattie Hollingsworth, Edna Hartman, Elinor Gilson, and Flossie Stone. The State Convention was held at Wichita, and Southwestern sent twenty-one delegates. J ust before Christmas, during the special meetings at Grace Church, the Association conducted two devotional meetings, one led by Miss Jeanette Walter, of Kingman, and one by Miss Esther Erickson, of Wichita, in which some forty girls either came to know Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour for the first time, or came to know Him in His deepest, truest sense through a complete consecration. During the year two girls went to the foreign field as missionaries, Miss Minnie Irwin to Maylasia, and Mrs. Alva Snyder, CGrace Edmondson? to the Philippines. The Association is conducting seven Bible Study classes with an enrollment of ninety, and three Mission Study classes with an enrollment of fourteen. The attendance at the Devotional meetings has grown so great that the Y. W. parlors scarcely afford room for the girls, and the socials and receptions were never so well attended. The finances are on a finn basis, and the membership represents the truest and strongest girls of every department and class in the school. Conversions and conse- crations are frequent, not so often in the meetings as in the room of some strong girl. The Asso- ciation is reaching out and touching, for all that is strongest, and truest, and purest, the individual lives of the girls in Southwestern. 134 ADA MORGAN DAISY HULL FLUSSIE STONE EDNA HARTMAN EDNA YETTER.

Surely there is no greater work awaiting the students of America to-day than the carrying of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the countless millions who have never yet Leard the glad news. The nucleus around which, and from which, the missionary spirit is propagated in Southwestern is the Student Volunteer Band, which was organized in 1901. Since that time, six have gone out from it to the foreign field, and the membership now is larger than ever ltcforc. These hands, which are found in most of the colleges in North America, are in connection with the great World's Student Movement, which has for its motto, t'The Evangclization of the World in This Generation.

It was F' 1 ' ' I4 Hortense Dudley who utter- il . ed this awed and excited f - exclamation just as the wi I 477 afternoon passenger train 3 L., moved off from the station away her parents on their Her brother glanced at the window pointed out just in time to catch a glimpse of a woman's hand,-long, slender, swarthy, muscular, not particularly graceful, yet not ungraceful, with a sort of indefinable suggestion of power or indomitable will. The hand was in the act of drawing down the blind, and he thought that he saw a purplish scar somewhere across the fingers in the instant that this particular car window passed from view. lVell, Silly, said he, turning to his sister, it's nothing but a pe1'son's hand. VVhat in the world has come over you? The girl looked somewhat chagrined, but still a little pale and frightened, and replied weakly, Nothing much. Arthur Dudley was very sure that there was something much, but he knew his sister's disposition too well to ask further concerning a subject which she evidently did not care to discuss. However, in some way his mind con- nected her peculiar action with a strange inci- dent of her girlhood days. He involuntarily thought of the time when his little sister had strangely disappeared, and after many weeks, had found her way home again over the dusty country road. The story of these weeks, the manner in which she had been stolen away, and the way she returned had been drawn from her by her parents only bit by bit, and she had always had a horror even of mentioning it. Nothing more was said of the action of Hortense at the station until after supper, although Arthur observed that his sister was peculiarly silent and troubled. 'When the supper dishes were cleared away, the two young people sat down in the parlor. Arthur looked over the evening paper, and 55? ' Inv N1 .. , If vc-0 platform, bearing summer vacation. Hortense seated herself at the piano. She had a habit of sometimes mirroring her emotions in the music which she played. This evening she began with slow-moving, dreamy airs. Then the music grew more weird. Several minor selections followed, one after another, and she concluded by repeating over and over again that exquisite minor strain of Il Trovatoref' As the music died away, she turned to her brother, who had dropped his paper and was listening intently to her playing. Do you think said she in an awed and subdued voice, do you think it will come to-night? HlVll?LtIXVlllCOIl'16?7 replied Arthur in a su.I- prised tone What do you mean? NVhy the hand, said she, her hand that I saw on the train! VVhose hand? t'Why the-the- and she seemed as if she would choke with the utterance, the crazy woman that stole me! Arthur gazed at her in amazement. And this amazement was due, not only to the seeming absurdity of the idea, but also to the fact that this very absurdity had been lurking about in a dim corner of his own brain. O Hortensef' said he, as if to calm her fears and reassure him- self at the same time, lfVhat a perfectly im- possible ideal You know that old woman is confined in an insane asylum a hundred miles away. She was n't on that train. And besides, if she was, I guess she stayed on the train. Well, I can't help it, she replied, with a startling certainty in her tone. It's coming, I can feel it. I can see it Wave! This last remark was utterly incomprehensible to the young man, but he had already heard so many unusual rema1'ks that he ceased to wonder and simply listened. I can see that horrid, scarred hand, she continued, just as its forehnger shook in, my face. And I can hear her say in that firm, deep voice, 'If you run away, this hand will follow you some day-some day. ' She uttered these last words as if there was horror in their very sound. Arthur realized that she must be moved in no ordinary manner, 147 for this was a feature of the story of her kid- napping by the half-crazed old woman, which he had no recollection of ever hearing. Perhaps she had told it to her parents, but he was quite sure that he had never heard it before. Evident- ly there must be something supernatural about the old woman which Hortense had never men- tioned. For certainly the very thought of her seemed almost to exert some strange power over the young lady. As their usual hour for retiring had arrived, Hortense suggested that it was useless to stay up longer. Won't you be afraid? said Arthur. Oh, I guess not very much, was the reply, I shall leave the light turned on, and probably I shall be asleep by midnight when the lights go out. So she went to her room. After securely locking the house, Arthur also went to his room, which was just across the narrow upstairs-hallway from the room of Hortense, and retired. He reassured himself that the thoughts which had been disturbing him were the wildest vagaries, and that it was quite foolish for him to lie awake a moment on account of them. After reasoning out two or three times the impossibility of any harm be- falling him from the source imagined, he fell asleep. Shortly after midnight he awakened with a feeling that his imaginative vagaries had been dispelled, and that he was quite his calm, rational self. Just as he was about to turn over and go to sleep once more, he thought that he heard a faint rustle in the direction of his sister's room, as of someone treading gently on the floor. He listened carefully, and this time he was sure that he heard something. Quietly rising, he stepped across the hall and silently opened the door of his sister's room. In the midst of the room stood Hortense, clad in a long white night-robe. The light of the full moon was streaming in at the window, lighting up her beautiful face. Her countenance was that of one relaxed in sweetest slumber, but her eyes wide open, and there was a strange glassy stare in them, the like of which Arthur had never seen before. They seemed to be intently Gxed upon a window which opened upon the roof of the front veranda. Arthur looked in the direction of the window. There he was horrified to see with considerable distinctness in the moonlight the form of a woman's hand just outside the glass. And with much less distinctness he perceived the dim outline of the person to whom the hand belonged. But the hand seemed to be the object upon which the gaze of Hortense was fixed. As it beckoned she moved softly toward the window, her whole body seeming to bend in that direction. As it motioned in the opposite direction, she walked backward, slowly but, seemingly, without the slightest fear of stumbling. If it beckoned to the right, Hortense followed it, or, if to the left, she turned her steps in that direction. Seemingly she was wholly in the hypnotic grip of the hand at the window. Arthur watched for a moment and then took a step f01'W3,l'Cl into the room, observing the hand intently. As he did so, he felt that in some unknown way the bearer of the mysterious hand was cognizant of his presence in the room. Soon he felt his eyes becoming glued to the figure at the window, and he experienced a strong impulse to follow the wavings of the hand. Realizing what might take place, he summoned all his will power, and drew his eyes from the window. Then suddenly recollecting himself, he called out, Hortense His Words seemed to have no effect, for Hortense continued her walk across the floor. I-Iortense! he called out again, this time fairly shouting. He mustered up enough courage to glance at the Window again. The fingers snapped sharply, the hand was suddenly withdrawn, and he saw the whole dark Hgure move quickly away and silently disappear just over the place where he imagined that a. porch pillar might be located. He turned to his sister. She was rubbing her eyes and looking as if she had just awakened from a profound slumber. Why, what are you doing here? she said. In amazement Arthur explained as best he could what had transpired. But his sister declared that she knew nothing of the hypnotic sleep into which she had been thrown. The only thing that she remembered was that she had heard a slight noise at the win- dow and had arisen to seek its cause. When the morning came, a careful examina- tion of the veranda was made. There in the dust 7 ' 148 on the roof was the print of a hand, with a scar very dimly showing across the iingers. As the two young people gazed at it and Arthur related again to his sister the strange occurrence of the night, she said in a slightly awed tone of voice, H She used to do it. Woiic would bring forth. had again gathered Arthur understood. leringly they awaited what another night When the evening shadows and Arthur sat reading the evening paper, he suddenly stooped with an excited exclamation, Will you listen to this! Then inmate in this he read: Martha Volney, an escaped of the state insane asylum, was captured city to-day. She was easily recognized by a prominent scar across the lingers of her right hand. In some way she got on the train yester- day morning at Blaine, and eluded the conductor until evening, when, just as the four o'clock passenger train pulled out, she was put oi? here because she had no ticket. It seerns that she appears quite rational much of the time, and the conductor had no thought of her insanity. She will be kept in close confinement at the state institution, where she was taken this morning. He handed the paper over to his sister, as if to convince her that what he was reading was really there. Well, Sis, said he, I guess that will scatter your fears to the Winds. And it did. The New Year Flower Before me in the snow's white swirl, I seem to see a bud unfurl, With snowy petals white and clear, The flower of the fair New Year. And as its perfume breathes to me Bright promise of the days to be, My heart cries for a by-gone hour, The fragrance of a faded Hower. And I shall love this new blown Hower, With promise of each happy hourg Yet sweeter is the fragrance shed From petals of a flower that's dead. Conn VAUGIiN 149 The Rhyme of the Facultee I rhyme you a rhyme of our own Facultee, Whose wisdom is great in a minus degree, YVho teach all the kids at our little school That Goodness is Wisdom by any old rule. Now here at the head's our dear Mossynmu, ' ET jj' To be u. good angel is all of his plan, Q r ij ,gg ,jj 4, And to make of our College, more and by more, A fact'ry for preachers, score upon score. Our Dean you can see has the marks of a mule He flunks and he flunks hy his own golden rule. And never, O never, is he full of glee Till he's giving a special to some eighty-three. We swear by our Phillips whatever befall, The man of all men who is loved by us ull, We know that on wisdom he has a franchise, For he ne'er says a worcl, but only looks wise. And llerman, our Churchill, you sure are so slow, You move like a glacier that 's just known to flow: If ever you start, you'll move right along, And come to the finish singing a. song. Cady, or Cricket, 'tis all just the same, There's only this difference, the difference in name: They both hop about and chirp all the day, But- what they're saying, Lhere's no one can say. A teacher of bugs is our own Mr. G. Whose chin points off to the moon's apogee, He digs und he delves and he cuts them in two, And makes of his room a typical zoo. Franklin L. Gilsun, l'ni sure you all know, For he never says yes and he never says nog But that is all right. and I think that will do, O he always Hts in just like an old shoe. Ah Baker, ah Baker, your jokes are so old, They helong to the time ere stories were told, You hreak every rule of sentence construction- O stop, ere you drive us all to destruction. Our Harbour is head of a barharous clan, At screeching and howling they're there to a man, The De'il's own self would turn tail and flee, If ever he heard their high tenor key. And O you should see our Miss Raeey Race, Who talks till her tongue is sure out of place, And hear her gush o'er with such girlish glee, You'd think her a maid of just twenty-three. And now Mrs. Fleming, our teacher in Greek- But geel she's so ancient I hear her bones creakg 150 if Alpha begins it, Pm sure you'll agree, It's time for Omega to enter his plea. Miss Cate should teach students naught but emo, Then classes in Latin I'm sure would o'erElnwg At least she should give a sly little wink. And not like an owl sit there and blink. Ich liebe, ich liebe, ich liebe nine men, Wenn ich liebe ein mehr, then it is ten, Ich kann dieses spreehen, by schimminey kraut, Our teacher, Miss Hogue, knows what she's about. You also should see our little Miss Hayes, Who counts all her years as we all our days, But I must n't suy more, for she is too thin, A word or two's weight, would sure cave her in.- There are u few others whom I will berhyme When 1've naught else to do but waste all my time: 1've saved all this space here at the end For one who is known us everyone's friend: Do not he shocked when you see h s own name, It long has been known in the annals of fameg So here ut the last's the Devil his Grace, Who's known to us ull, though we ne'er saw his face. Ile always is found where he ought not to be, And often he meets with our own Fucultee. o?a Nell Fossett, making speech in Belles-XVe11 I had just as well get used to this, because l'1l have to preach before long any way. Professor Platts--Miss Crick, what men would you choose? Miss Crick, bashfully-I would n't choose any. Prof. Platts-Never Inincl, Miss Crick, you'll be old enough after awhile. Professor Carly-Miss Light, what is meant by sat111'a.tio11? Miss Light-W hen the air is so full of atmosphere and vapor that it can hold no more atmosphere.

I51 The Wings at Night fWritten for the Southwesternj WIIJLIAM A. QUAYLE I heard the beat of wings one night, Of wings as strong as winds of storm: I felt in tl1em resistless might, I guessed their majesty of form. I rose and stood beneath the dome Of the stooped heavens that stooped so high, While through those spacious heavens roam Those wings of angels of the sky. Oft had I heard the boom of seas Break on a rock-bound, barren coastg But never melody like these Rejoicing wings of angel hosts. And whither fly you, wings of night, And how far wing you, pinions strong? But these nor tarry in their flight Nor weary though the flight be long. I heard the beat of angel wings: I heard their pinions music make As when a heavenly chorus sings And from their spirits music shakes. Their flight-the flight of wings of power, Though not a word those angels spike- Hath helped me many a weary hour And made 1ny soul strong courage take. To know that while I walk the earth White wings patrol the lofty sky Brings to me showers in days of dearth: I shall be winged by and by. Passing Years The years pass swiftly o'er our heads, Each leaves his trace behind, They touch lightest upon those VVho own a peaceful mind. C. M 152 In June Lovely June is at full tide, 'J oy is floating far and Wide, When the skies are deepest blue, I would roam, clear heart, with you. Come, We'll find a sure retreat, Where the grass is soft and sweetg And the waters laugh and sigh, As they ripple gaily by. Up the leafy avenue, WVhere the sun peeps slyly through, And the pattern, leafy wrought, Sends a, fancy through our thought, Here, love, bring thy choicest book Out from its accustomed nook, 'Neath the great tree's stalwart arm, It will wear an added charm. Read the song thy choice hath made 'Neath the sylvan summer shade, Till the gems of sweetest song Touch thy heart and thrill it long. Let the fleeting fancies rove In this airy forest-grove, And the loftiest thoughts of man Vibrate through our souls again. FLOREN x CLE wits 153 The Chapel fBy permission of Henry Wadsworth Longfellowj I stood in the door of the chapel As the students were liling ing Some were devout and hopeful, While others were smirched with sin. I saw this grand procession With stately tread pass by, And I thought of the countless millions Which privilege the fates deny. And far across the chapel On that sacred rostrum seen As a doom to the idle blulier Gleamed the glasses of the Dean. And from that hallowed rostrum There seems to emiuate A subtle inspiration, Which we strive to propagate. Among those earnest students Is a sacred atmosphere That demands respect and honor. Makes the careless to revere, But smirking along among them Some rowdies and rough-necks go To ogle the decent students From their perch on the hoodlum row. And as those gillies are seating Schmidty goes up in the airg He has found the point of a crooked pin Which Kenneth had fixed for him there. I see these imps in the corner Cavorting through prayer and song In the very eyes of the faculty, And 1 think, Oh, Lord, how long Will the rights of earnest students, Of whom there is one now and then, Be usurped hy these vile impostors Who've mistaken themselves for men? As I gaze there long in silence At. that 'bunch with wooden head There comes to me some language That is better thought than said. And as long as those imps be Winked at, So long will their vileness grow, And.where such conduct will lead them, Only the Lord himself can know. And as these hayrubes were milling Around like Texas steers. A deluge of thought came o'er me- The memory of bygone years, When my heart was light and airy And my soul was lilled with glee, And the world as I looked upon it A playthmg seemed to me. As I watched this grand procession Of knowledge hungry guys, My soul was touched within me, And I was wont to philosophize. I-Iow often, oh, how often,. Have I wished that I might go Along with the upper-classmen, Right up to the Senior row. But now has ambition left me, And I Lun dank and chill, Like the deceptive, deluding illusion is the goal, ever over the hill. Still whenever I come to chapel And list to prayer and song, There comes st subtle something Which says, O Man, be strong. And forever and forever, ' As long as the zephyr blows, As long as the boys have sweethearts, As long as the girls have beauxg As long as Gilson cuts chapel, And Miss Cate continues to blink, And Miss Mills with the President's sanction Takes her girls to the skating rink, As long as the coach swipes apples, And Cady sputters and chokes, And Hazlett works on Sundays, And Givler tobacco smokes, As long as the board and faculty, The Matrorfand the Dean, Conspire and intrigue together To restrain the careless, and e'en To hamper the careful student 'With decrees and rules galore And at ten-thirty require land-ladies To reluctantly close the door- So long will the students be fractions And troubles will multiply: Discretion and discord will tlourish And youngsters be tempted to lie. So long will Justin and Jo I Stand late on the porch at night: And be caught by the watchful matron, When they wished to be out of sight. OSCAR E.

O it would be a glorious thing To sit up there and sweetly sing, And with the lady in the moon I 'd hunt the dark and sit and spoon, I 'd kiss her o'er a thousand times, And make for her some love-sick rhymesg Southwestern's girls would plain appear If they were on that lunar sphere. I care not for Astronomee, Nor for its mate, T1'ig'nometrec: ' Perchanee I'd take a parallax, Or measure down some mighty cracks 5 Or on a tangent I would sit And make some cosines out of it. And then I'cl take a trip to Mars, Or ride in Phoebus' golden cars. I'd dip the clipper deep into The milky way, that's what I 'cl do, And then would drink till I was full As any greedy guzzling gull. Orion's sword I'd take from him And stab him once upon the shiny Then call his dog and we would dare To chase to ground the mighty bear, lVe would not take such untold years To make that bear shed pleading tears. Then on Job's coffin I would sit And try his patience just a bitg Orion's dog should have his bones, Then how I 'cl laugh to hear his groans. A shooting star should be my guide To light me back to Cynthia's side. I'd hunt the man that 's in the moon And knock his block off mighty soong - And then upon the moon's own horn, Ild blow a blast of fearful scorn, All Sophs upon yon earthly sphere Should clasp their hands with trembling fear. Then back to earth I'd quickly ride, Or on a moonbeam swiftly slide- But now I've taken all my time In writng this unsightly rhyme 5 How can I pass that dread exam? I have no time to crib and cram. I k11ow I'll be a flunky flunk, Because I wrote this junky junk. I61 When Woods Are Green lfVhen Woods are green And Waters bright, And the sun shines merrily, A beauteous sheen Of golden light Quavers from tree to tree. The birds then sing A merry note OE joyful love and mirth: The forests ring, Sweet odors floatg They show us na.ture's worth. Then swift forget All c:mk'ring care That your life with gloomy The mosses wet Are cool and rare Beside the violet's bloom. 162 C.

S. 164 The Call of the Road On a cold wet day in November, a most forlorn-looking individual was seen walking along a country road. He was ragged, dirty, and wet, with unkempt hair and beard, and a black sloueh hat pulled down over his head. His slow, shuffling gait at once betokened his calling-he was one of nature's Wanderers, from nowhere in particular, and bound for the same place. On his sun-browned, unwashed face, a look of displeasure had replaced the usual one of con- tentment, and he was muttering many im- precations upon the heads of the oliicers of the village through which he had just passed, for they had forced him to move on, without so much as allowing him to beg an honest meal. It had been raining for two days, he was cold, wet, and hungry, and felt as thoroughly saturated as was the road along which he was walking. Slowly he pushed through the mud, growing more and more disheartened at every step. It would soon be night, but in vain he searched the gathering darkness for a friendly barn or shed. Thoughts of his former life came rushing upon him, but he flung them off in bitterness, and plodded on. He had chosen this life de- liberately, and this life would he follow to the ends of the earth. As he continued his way, an exhausting Weakness began to grow upon him. In this condition, memories of the past came flooding to his mind, and he had not the strength to throw them off. He could see the steaming vegetables and smell the roast beef that his mother used to put on the table. How cosy and warm it must be there! lVould the road never end? Why do people make roads that are interminable? His steps became slower and shorter, and the mud seemed to become deeper, he could scarcely lift one foot after the other. Presently he was able to make out the dark outline of a large straw-stack not far from the road. He crawled through the fence and went up to the stack. After pulling out some dry straw, he attempted to build a fire, but either his hands were too cold or his matches too wet, for he was unable to make it burn. However, many a night had he spent in the shelter of a straw-stack, and he knew what course to take. After burrowing back into the stack until he was entirely sheltered from the rain, he lay down almost exhausted. During the process of preparing for himself a lodging place, the old home scenes had almost left him, but now they came back with renewed vividness. Up to this time the thought of re- turning home had never occurred to himg but it did now, and try as he would he could not dis- pell it. Outside he could hear the rain beating on the wet, soggy straw. Cold shivers ran along his entire body, seemingly trying to drive off the remaining warmth. He thought of the ambi- tions of his youth and of how they had left him one by one. The comparison of his miserable condition now with that of his former life was more than he could endm'e, and he mentally determined that on the mo1'row he would start for his old home, there to begin life anew. Gradually, as the warmth of his body returned, these thoughts became less vivid, and soon they were a mere jumble of irrelevant ideas. Slowly even these began to slip away-horne-mother- savory dishes-the 'Wanderer had fallen into a deep sleep, too deep for dreaming. lt was almost noon of the next day before he emerged from his warm bed. The long rest had greatly refreshed him, and, except for the gnawing hunger, he felt as well as ever. The sun, which was shining brightly, had already begun to dry up the fields and roads. Back in the dim recesses of his mind, he had a vague remembrance of his decision of the night before, but now he put it by with scarcely a thought. Partly shaking the straw from his clothes, he went back to the road, and continued his unending journey. C.

They stopped in the corner of the cemetery to divide the nuts, and, as Kenneth was saying, HI-Iere, you take this one and I'll take that, you take this one and I 'll take that, Booker T. came along. His kinky hair began to straighten, and he rushed frmitically down the road until he met Rev. William Little, who stopped him and inquired the reason of his flight. Come back to the graveyard quick, exclaimed Booker. The Lord and the devil's a sortin' 'em out. Whom do you mean, inquired VVilliam. VVhy, the dead people, of course. By this time lVilliam had become very curious, and together they returned to the grave- yard. Just as they arrived, two nuts rolled under the fence, and they heard a voice saying, You take this one and I'll take that, and when we're through here Weill get those two on the other side of the fence. Booker was gone in a minute, but William bravely remained--at a respectful distance- and soon discovered the owner of the voice. Familiar Quotations Burns-An infinite deal of nothing.

But time will change, as change it must, The things that were are now as dust: All strewn they lay Along life's way- Whence fied the dreams of yester-clay? Why stand we here, hcreft, alone, Our precious diamonds turned to stone? Nay, drop no tear On memory's hier! Sweet thoughts, too brief, lie buried here.
