McLEAN To Whom Book is Dedicated To the Third Regent of Southwestern University, the man who so successfully guided the affairs of this institution for six years, and whose name is indissolubly linked with the history of the institution, which he has faithfully served as Curator, Financial Agent, Professor, Vice-Regent and Regent, The Rev. John H. McLean, A.M., D.D. this volume is affectionately dedicated. Rev. J. H. McLean, A.M., D.D. Regent 1 890-1 897. Judging him by all the standards, Dr. McLean is a Texan. In the midst of the hardships and daring of frontier life, he was reared near Marshall, in this state. Educated at McKenzie College, from which he graduated in 1858 and where for the two following years he was employed as Professor, he caught the spirit and force of its great founder. He was licensed to exhort in 1858, to preach in 1859, and was received into the East Texas Conference in i860. During the forty-six years of his ministerial life, he has served circuits, stations, districts, as college agent, professor and president. Seven times he has been elected to the General Conference and has served in many of the highest positions of honor in the gift of the church. He was made Doctor of Divinity by Centenary College, La., in 1890. He was in sympathy with the first movements looking forward to the founding of Southwestern University. He preached the first Commencement sermon in 1875 and the last — in 1904. He was Curator 1877-1880, Agent and Professor 1880-1889, Regent 1889-1897. He resigned as Regent in 1897 to re-enter the work of itineracy. He is now Pre- siding Elder of the Bonham District. During his long connection with Southwestern University he has done great things for this institution, for Christian education and for Texas — and his work will abide.

We are loathe to launch such an infantile effort upon the voracious waves of this old world ' s criticism. We recog- nize that our result in making a book is short coming, yet deep down in our hearts we are secretly proud of our effort. There are several jokes and also several humorous articles in this number. Go to work and try and find them. If you do, come tell the editor about it. There are several entertaining passages also in this volume. Try to find these. Then if you can ' t, just chew your cud and lose your remarks in the vastness of silence. All and all we have no apology to make for this year ' s annual. It is the best, a mule ' s best, too, that the editors and manager could get out. We are satisfied, are you ? We acknowledge the fruitful efforts of Miss Thomas Mr. Whittle Mr. Fleming Mr. I. L. Sims and all those who lent a helping hand.

All except the last named succumbed to the Civil War or other causes. Soule University, though apparently killed by the war, nevertheless was revived in 1865, and dragged out a lingering existence for some years. In 1868 the trustees, hoping even yet to enliven the corpse of the old Soule University, in- vited to its presidency the Rev. Francis Asbury Mood, of South Carolina. It did not require long for Dr. Mood to see that neither for Soule University nor any other school of that sort was there any hope unless he could get all Texas Methodism united to its support. But there lay the difficulty. The brethren of the various conferences were enjoying to only a very modest degree that pleasure which comes from dwelling together in unity. Indeed, while there was not, to be sure, open warfare, the condition could have been designated as one of armed peace, and there were many who were ready to assure Dr. Mood that the status was a natural one and could not be otherwise. But here lay the only chance. Harmony must be secured, and with wonderful tact Dr. Mood went about his task. A less determined, less faithful, a smaller man in any respect would have given the work up, but Dr. Mood kept on, prov- ing the excellence of his diplomatic skill by securing the calling of an educational convention to meet at Galveston in 1870, at which all the conferences were repre- sented. Here the matter took definite shape. It was decided to place at some central town a university which should fitly represent Texas Methodism. Soule University was to give place to this new institution. After some two years of discussion, Georgetown was selected as the site of the proposed university, and in 1873 the faculty was elected. It was composed of three members: Dr. Mood, Regent and Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy, History and English Literature; B. E. Chreitzberg, A.M., Professor of Mathema- tics; H. M. Reynolds, M.D., Professor of Spanish. During the session there were enrolled thirty-three students. From this rather modest beginning the institution, then called the Texas University, began its life. In 1874 Prof. S. G. Sanders was added to the list of professors. In 1876 the name was changed to Southwestern University on account of the refusal of the State Legislature to charter any but a State institution under the former name. It soon became evident that the people of Texas desired not their sons alone, but their daughters as well, to be educated, so in 1878 plans were adopted which resulted in the establishment of the Ladies ' Annex. This institution was at first almost entirely separate from the University, the only point of connection being that the professor in the University also gave instruction in the Annex. 13 Through Dr. Mood ' s eleven years of regency the University and Annex grew and flourished side by side. The first session had begun with three instructors, the twelfth with fifteen. The first session had enrolled thirty-three pupils; the twelfth, three hundred and sixty-one. A fter Dr. Mood ' s death, in 1884, the regency was placed in the hands of Dr. J. W. Heidt, under whose administration the University continued its flourishing career. In 1899 Dr. Heidt resigned and Dr. J. H. McLean was elected to the regency. During his term the need for new buildings became apparent. There were already built the old university building, the Fitting School building, the Annex, and Gid- dings Hall, but the increased attendance at the University demanded still further change. In 1894 an effort to raise funds for the new building was begun, and Dr. W. M. Hays was appointed financial agent. Through his efforts and those of his successor, Dr. F. B. Sinex, a little over $50,000 was secured. The new building was begun, and in 1900 was completed. It has been called the most beautiful single school building in the South. In 1898 the entrance requirements were so raised as to cut down the att en- dance somewhat, but it has since been constantly growing until during the present session it will reach more than four hundred. In 1897 Dr. McLean resigned the regency, and in 1898 Dr. R. S. Hyer was elected to fill the vacancy. Under his management the friends of Southwestern have seen the institution grow still further, not in material prosperity alone, but into a broader life which promises well for the future. J. C. Hardy. 14 Dr. R. S. Hyer. R. S. Hyer, A.M., LL.D., Regent Professor of Physics. Robert Stewart Hyer is a typical Southerner, his native state being Georgia. His college education was received at Emory College, Oxford, Georgia. In 1900, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by Central College, Fayetteville, Missouri. He became a professor of Southwestern University in 1882, and despite the special inducements from larger institutions, he has remained with his beloved employ in Southwestern. There is now a movement well under way looking to the endowment of the R. S. Hyer Chair of Physics. Friends all over Texas are con- tributing and success is assured. Dr. Hyer was elected Regent in 1898. The raising of the curriculum, the opening of the New Building, the enlargement of the corps of instructors, the creation of the Summer School of Theology, the addition of new equipment, and the establishment of the Southwestern University Medical College, at Dallas, Texas, attest the efficiency of his administration. As a scientist, Dr. Hyer is almost without equal in the South. 2 ri 17 The Faculty Claude Carr Cody, A. M., Ph.D., Mathematics.

The peerless Class of Naughty-six! Offi cers Ben Giles, C. C. Young, Miss Nora Hotchkiss, L. F. Chapman, A. N. Evans, President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer Editor History of the Cla ss Never before has Southwestern University had such a fine class as the Class of ' 06. We do not make this statement on account of our vast numbers, but because of the superiority which this class contains. Hoping that you will not think us egotistical and feeling sure that by studying the following you will find us extremely modest, we will relate a very few of our many honors. On the athletic field we are well represented. The captain of the track team is no other than a prominent Junior, while other Juniors serve under him. The baseball team has not been selected yet, but we feel sure that a number of its members will be of the Class of ' 06. Right here it might be well to say that of the class baseball teams the Junior-Sophomore won the pennant easily. On the grid- iron four of the class did excellent work. As to debaters, we have four intermediate, two Brooks ' Prize, and one Inter- collegiate. While he have many other honors, we feel sure, that if, after reading the above you are not convinced that our preliminary statements were not undoubtedly true, there is no use in our wasting- our time on you.

Editor teener A Few Slight Remarks The Seniors may be wiser, the Juniors more cunning, the Freshmen gre and the Preps noisier, but when you want your money ' s worth, the Class of ' 07 is on hand with a full house. The Sophs are by no means in the rear when honors are to be considered. Reference to our class roll is convincing evidence of this fact. One of our worthy fellows represents the University this year on an Inter-collegiate debate. Six of the intermediate debaters from the two literary societies and five of the University Glee Club are members of the Class of ' 07, to say nothing of its represen- tatives on the staffs of the Sou ' wester and Magazine, and on the baseball, football, and tenris teams. The young ladies of the class, though few, are far above the average.— More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than the honey and the honey-comb. Moreover, by them are the other classes warned for their keeping is entrusted to the Class of Naughty-Seven. We have been Freshmen, but now we are Sophomores. We are looking for- ward with anticipation to that happy time, two years herce, when (if we do not bust in the meantime) we can lay aside old Ganot, Old Anna Lit and the various and sundry ologies and osophies, and dwell forever in the blissful realms of the Alumni. 47 Class Roll (By request several names are omitted.)

I have often wondered what T he really meant thereby. Did he mean that he was so awed into J 1 reverence by the great possibilities that lie concealed in a Freshman ' s makeup — or did he mean that the ordinary Freshman was such a perplexing combination of puzzle, enigma and prodigy that he unconsciously, even automatically reached up and removed his covering in order that he might thoroughly scratch his pate into a full appreciation of a Freshman ' s nature ? Somehow I am a little fond of the hist theory. Well do I remember the first meeting we had. I remember that during its progress as I looked on that motley bunch, an idea flitted through my understanding, an idea, whose prodigiusness even awed me into a silent reverence— the future of a Freshman Class. How many U. S. presidents might be present even in this class. Who knows but what we may some day read President Pat John ' s address to the Senate, or Senator Rylander ' s address as he takes the Speaker ' s chair! Who knows but that some day the world may be astounded by the literary production of a Munden, by the realistic novels of a Hotchkiss or a Hams, or perhaps the world will be fired by the oratory of a Newberry, or the sermons of a Young (not J. B.)! My wondering was cut short by the adjournment of the meeting. Had it not been, I would have read in my mind ' s eye the future poems of our poet, Mr. Gustafson, or perused the headlines of a great daily reading thus— Thief cap- tured after Long Run. Brewer at last in Clutches of Law, Polygamist confessed— W. T. Archer tells how he won the Hands and Hearts of Twenty-three Wives. Man turned Yellow, but Dr. Dewberry Wheeler ' s Soothing Syrup restored his Color. Judge Terry Duff convicts Jack Frost McHenry. Judge Duff has been McHenry ' s Lawyer for 15 Years, etc. I might have wondered if there were in my presence a number of pick-pockets, hod carriers and tramps, but I had wondered enough. The thought, in its immensity, stunned me. By the way, that reminds me of a man who kept probing around amongst his ancestry, trying to find a line of royal descent and instead found a horse- thief, two murderers, two bandits and a list of scoundrels that would grace the direc- tory of any trust.

This may be true, but to my mind it is just beginning. While it is true that the issues which inspired the souls of Webster, Cal- houn, and Clay have passed, yet other issues have arisen which have inspired the souls of other men as eloquent as Calhoun, men who have the natural ability, and in addition to that, the early training. This early training is what the Alamo Society gives to its members. Since 1873, the Alamo Society has been sending out yearly, orators of no mean ability, men who have become known throughout the State for their eloquence and oratory. At each Commencement there is a contest between the speakers of each class. Last year we won the following: The Junior Orators ' Medal The Freshman-Sophomore Declaimers ' Medal The Fitting School Declaimers 7 Medal The Fitting School Scholarship. On the baseball team of last year there were four Alamos, including the manager. This year we have the manager and captain, and no doubt, judging from the present prospects the Alamo will be well represented on the team. On the football squad of this year the Alamos had five out of the nine Society members. Of the Class Presidents we have the Freshman, Junior and Senior. In our Intermediate debate this year we were well represented by Messrs. Switzer and Blackburn versus Moore, L. L. and Clark. Our Intercollegiate debaters are Messrs. Newberry and Cooper; each with a collegue from the San Jacinto Society will debate the universities of Oklahoma, respectively. We feel no hesitancy whatever in pitting either of these teams against any team in the South. This year we feel confident of victory over the San Jacinto at the hands of Messrs. J. N. Vincent and C. C. Young in our Brooks Debate. 62 Society Roll Abney, J. Appleqjjist, J. O. Archer, T. M. Armstrong, E. M. Barkley, T. S. BlCKLEY, C. W. Biggs. W. T. Blackburn, W. L. Bolton, W. D. BOUTWELL, S. S.

More has been accomplished this term than any of the past two years. And with the University as a whole her departments have progressed to a wonderful extent. The San Jacinto Literary Society has long been one of the most important factors of the University, and during a history of thirty odd years has numbered among her members many of the most influential men in the State. In addition to our present active roll is the ex-member list, of which we are duly proud; for on that list may be seen many who occupy offices of distinction. Preachers, lawyers, professors, professional men throughout the State look back on San Jacinto as their starting point. But perhaps you would like to know what San Jacinto is doing at present. Well, there has been considerable forward march in the society for this year and you might say that San Jacinto is still in the swim. Perhaps the best thing that we have done this year was the refurnishing of her hall — and this by private subscription, too. About $250 has been expended in desks, carpets and furniture. Good work has been done in debating, declamation, and oratory, which work will be allowed to speak for itself at Commencement. I believe you would enjoy one of our meetings for you could then hear oratory in varied degrees, from the piping youngster on to the melodramatic flights of the full-fledged Senior, full of assonance, alliteration and rhythm. Here you may be fortunate enough to hear a Hill, a Bryan or a Bailey. The following show a few of San Jacinto ' s honors : Representative Texas State Oratorical Association — L. F. Chapman. Four out of six Senior Orators — Aldredge, Black, Crawford and Johnson. Five out of nine Junior Orators — Bailey, Buttrill, Evans, Chapman and Hill. Editor of Annual and First Honors. Four members on Baseball Team and tour wearing the F. S. B. E. T. Campbell, H. F. Bailey and L. H. Browne wear the three magazine medals. And a varied and multitudinous number of smaller honors. In Debates — S. M. Black and W. A. Tarver will represent San Jacinto in the Intercollegiate debates with Oklahoma and Arkansas respectively. J. M. Jones and Crawford will represent us on the Brooks Prize Debate and will, according to a traditional custom, add one more debate to our great number. The interesting Inter- mediate debate between Messrs. Bailey and Starnes vs. Wade and King came up to the old standard of good debating. Our past has been characterized by progress; the present finds us busy, and therefore the future is full of hope. W. A. Tarver, S. J. Editor. 66 San Jacinto Roll Aldredge, G. N. Aldredge, H. R.

There were eleven of us that felt the necessity of a new society in the Annex — the need of a spirit of rivary— and oh, we had it in those first years! With Prof. Cody to guide and advise, we soon had a society that rivalled the Alethean in enthusiasm if not in numbers. To be as classical as our sister organization we chose the euphonious name Calliopean; but alas, the Alamos and San Jacintos called us Cantaloupes, and in haste we rechristened ourselves and became Clios. We re-organized in September, 1 886, and the following is a list of the first officers: President — Miss LovEY Mackey. Vice-President — Miss Bessie Graham. Critic — Miss Florence Williams. Secretary — Miss LlLLIE GoMERT. Corresponding Secretary — Miss CoRNlE HoDGES. Treasurer — Miss WlLLIE Sampey. Censor Morum — Miss Maggie Young. There were four of us left for an audience: Misses Eunice McLean, Leila Fain, Cora Rucker and Mamie Howren. Prof. Cody wrote our constitution for us, chose our motto and design for badge, and cruelly selected as our anniversary Febru- ary 22d, destroying all chance of an extra holiday. Our motto was: We fly with our own wings, appropriately expressed in the most classical of Latin, and our badge, an old English C, still the prettiest of the society badges in S. W. U. As little sisters strive to imitate their big brothers, so did we in our programs. We scorned the ordinary recitations and songs; we had great debates with our affirma- tives and negatives and whereas-es. Our society was first in our hearts; we loved it, we strove for honors for its sake, and we gave our best towards its development. On our first anniversary, we proudly marched into the auditorium and listened to a most olequent address on The Southern Woman, by our regent, Dr. Heidt. Three of our number have been called to the life beyond — Bessie Graham, Cornie Hodges and Cora Rucker. Of the others, all save two have been married several years, and are scattered over our wide State. Miss Lillie Gomert is teaching in San Antonio, and the present writer is endeavoring to show young shoots how to idea in the Fitting School, the once loved halls of Southwestern. The spirit and enthusiasm begun so ardently has not abated; to-day the Clio society stands shoulder to shoulder beside the other societies, and year after year its history is repeated in fitting records and honors won. Now as she approaches her nineteenth birthday, she proudly looks back on a life of earnest endeavor and pure character. May the future years bring to her increasing joy and success!

The name first chosen was Eutopian. This was suggested by Dr. Sand- ers as a very appropriate name for the organization, but some of our char- ter members tell us that the change to Alethean was made because the young gentlemen at college found the first name hard to remember. Since the organization of our society, the Annex has been moved from the orig- inal frame building and now occupies a large stone building at a convenient distance from the University. With the growth of the school has also been the society ' s growth and progress, and in 1885 it was decided by some of its members that a little competition would for- ward interest in society work. A new society was organized and took for its name Clio, and since that time the two organizations have worked hand in hand for the forwarding of literary taste among the students. The fourth floor of our building contains, besides the elocution hall and gym- nasium, the two society halls. These are devoted solely to the use of the two literary societies. The Aletheans have furnished their hall handsomely, and its book cases are filled with over 300 volumes of standard literature. Donations to this collection have been received from our friends all over Texas. The magazine published by the four literary societies of the University, shows every month the literary abilities of the Aletheans, and in the honors received each year, our society always has its full share. Throughout the state are scattered our ex-members, and go where you will, you may find a graduate of Southwestern proud to own that she is an Alethean. Mary B.

In February, 1 1901, Travis won the first debate over the Sam Houston. At the opening of college in 1901 the Sam Houston Society was much stronger than the Travis —the Sam Houston boasted twenty-five men, while the Travis had only a dozen. No debate came off that year although both did excellent work. It was in 1902 that the Sam Houston was merged into the Travis. It seems that the members of. this society were men who really appreciated the benefits derived from a literary society or else both societies would have died. At the opening of 1903 thirty-five members were enrolled. It was during this year that they established the inter-society debate. The debate of that year was a grand success. The Faculty also allowed them to appoint two declaimers for Commencement exercises. By 1904. the membership had increased to forty-five and all meant business. The society now elects three to represent them in the Commencement Oratorical Contest. The Travis Literary Society is the result of a genereal need for rudimentary training in public speaking, in debate and in parliamentary law. L. L. Felder. Roll Anderson, K. H. Anderson, J.

M. C. A. Through the kindness of the Faculty, the Y. M. C. A. is permitted to use an old society hall in the Fitting School for temporary quarters. The Y. M. C. A. was reorganized early in November, enrolling about forty members. Our membership has steadily increased until now we have about sixty on our roll. Our principal work for this year, outside of our regular weekly devotional meet- ings, has been the organizing of Mission and Bible Study Classes. These, although by no means a brilliant success, yet will prove to be the foundation for much beneficial work in the future. ■ Offi cers FIRST TERM. S. M ' . Black, C. C. Young, D. Macune, W. A.

M M .,•-- ■•« ufi .. r r c-i-ei ' w , u D WOO J) Illustrating The Old Oaken Bucket ANOTHER CASE OF HARD LUCK Dearest Jane — Your sweet letter asking for a lock of my hair received. As soon as the weather permits, I will send you a beautiful curl. Take good care of it, as I think lots of it. My hair is now long and curly. Remember, you are the only girl I ever expect to give a curl. Tenderly, Jack. llfi wn rrm L_j Nat Bogges ' Love Affair D TS an awful thing to be in love, to feel that yore future happiness depends on winning a girl, and to be afraid you ain ' t agoin ' to get her. One can never know them miseries until he tries it. Fur twelve years I had withstood the admiring glances and winning smiles f the swellest girls in town, and felt myself unmoved by them, but a few days ago there happened them things which took away my ambition and wrecked my future life. Ethel Smith wus the cause of it all. The first time I seen her I loved her, and I couldn ' t help it. She made a pretty picture with her pale blue eyes, her rosy cheeks, and her hair slicked back from her broad forehead and fixed in two little pigtails behind. I walked with her from school after we got out of sight of the boys, and said things to her whenever I thought of ' em. She talked soft and gentle and it seemed like she loved me. The next day at school she smiled at me across the room and caused me to turn over a full bottle of ink. I knowed then that she loved me. That afternoon I walked with her again and when we got to her gate, I stopped. Then she asked me to come in and play ball with her and I went. I wus tickled to death. We played ball, she said funny things, and I said funny things, she giggled and I giggled until we got tired and then we set down to rest. I seen my time had come, the time that would say whether I would be president of the United States, or a drunkard and a gambler. I was trembling all over. Without a word I took her hand in mine, and as she blushed, she smiled one of the sweetest smiles that ever passed over a human face. I moved closer to her, gettin ' nearer and nearer to her rosebud lips. She did not move and her head lent back just right. But it was all ruint by a peepin ' kid, a human mess, a wart on the nose existence, and they call him Bill Dobbs. He stuck his head around the corner and yelled: O Nat, who ' s sweet ? My eyes blazed with anger and I throwed a rock at him as hard as I could. But he dodged around the corner and the rock hit a policeman that came out just then. He looked around and seen me and anybody could see that he wus mad. I seen what I had done and as the policeman came towards us I remembered how many lovers I had read about who had been took away from their sweethearts and put in jail and after they had been kept there until they had become sad and pale, had been took out and killed. I remembered how their weepin ' sweethearts had come and looked upon their cold faces, how the sight wus more than they could stand and they fell dead across their lovers ' lifeless forms. It all flashed through my mind in an in- instant, and I seen my Ethel thus. 118 Run, Nat, she cried, don ' t let him catch you. But I couldn ' t go. I can ' t leave you Ethel, I answered. I can ' t leave you to stand all the blaming. It would be wrong, and my darling, I love you too much. She looked up in her lovin ' way, and said : If you love me or care anything for me or even respect me, go. That was puttin ' it in a way that made me go, so I run around the house and slippin ' along behind the shrubbery got up as close to her as I could. But it happened that the policemen had not seen me at all and he passed on by. Then I came out from where I wus hidin ' and went over to where Ethel wus a settin ' . I set down by her, real close to her, but I didn ' t know what to say. Sweetheart, she said, I am glad he didn ' t catch you. That was more than I could stand so I slowly put my arm around her and with a tremblin ' hand put her head down upon my shoulder. I knowed that wus the right way to do ' caus that wus the very way all the fellows done in every book I had read. I kissed her time and again and called her some sweet names. It seemed to me like she oughter cried a little to make every thing just right, but she didn ' t and I guess it wusn ' t necessary. Then I told her how I had loved her all the time; how I had thought of her when I wus awake, how when I slept, I dreamed of her, and I stooped to kiss her again. As my head bent forward I felt some cold fingers go down my back and clinch my collar. By turnin ' my head a little I seen who it wus. It wus Ethel ' s ma and she wus draggin ' me to a seat near by. When she got to the seat, she set down and pulled me down across her knee. She held on to my collar and by throwing ' one foot across my heels, she had me fastened down so I couldn ' t move. Then with her other hand she lit in on me and she shore knowed how it wus done, too. I saw lots of sparks aflyin ' and I felt a whole lot more. Soon the sparks changed to flames and blisters and I began to howl. She hit harder and I howled louder. On the last lick she took her time for it and put her whole strength into it. I put my whole strength into the howl which followed. Then she let me up and told me to go. ' I went off sore and sad with an everlastin ' hatred for family quarrels. That night I lay on my side all night and didn ' t turn over, but next mornin ' I felt better and went to school. Just before I got to Ethel ' s house, I seen her come out and go off with Bill Dobbs. They wus walkin ' slow and when she dropped her pencil they both stooped to get it and I seen him kiss her. She laughed that same little laugh for him just like she did for me. I had caught on to her game and I wus blazin ' mad. When she smiled at me that mornin ' I made out like I didn ' t see her. She smiled again as sweet as she could, but I didn ' t let on. At recess she came around to where I wus standin ' and asked me it I wus sick or wus I mad at my Ethel. I seen the time had come for me to end the game, and I remembered a piece I had read in one of Dumas ' books. I didn ' t know it all but I knowed how it began, so I looked as mad as I could and said: 119 O, thou wrecker of human lives, how long, how long, will you persist in your deadly work ? Will you keep on until bloomin ' youths of this town lay dead, murdered by their own hands, until the asylums are full of crazy boys mutterin ' a burnin ' love and until the cold gray walls of a prison surrounded them whose sufferings and despairs have driven them to deeds of violence. Consider, I beg of you, the welfare of your town and nation and stop this cruel work. I would not blame you for the many charms which are yours, but I beseech you don ' t lead the innocent boys on and on until your game is played, only drop them to be seized by anguish and desperation and drug down, down, down to a devil ' s hell. Just three days ago I wus amin ' to be either president or a showman, but today no hope stirs within me. I stand before you a ruin in the prime of life, a highway robber and one who cares nothing for human life. Again, I ask you, as one whose life you have blighted, stop this cruel work. She wus cryin ' when I finished and without another word, I turned and went to my seat. Any other time such a thing would have made me feel mean and low down, but then I didn ' t pay any ' tention to it cause I knowed a robber would have to get used to it fore he would do any good. But my plans wus all changed and once more hope stirred within me. Me and Bill Thomas set together and when he come in he asked me to help him get up a show. At first I told him I wouldn ' t do it but he kept on after me until I told him all right. So we are going to git it up. We are both goin ' to be boss and have one of the best shows that ever hit this town. Edd Munden. 120 The Last Confederate Veteran When the last bright ray of sunshine Beams around the hoary head, Of our last Confederate veteran, Ere his final hymn is read. When we see the last one shrouded, In his tattered suit of grey, How our hearts will throb with sadness, As he ' s softly borne away. Close beside his bier we ' ll gather, Softly whispering, Farewell, To our last Confederate veteran, Ere they toll his funeral knell. And we ' ll ponder o ' er the parting, And we ' ll wonder at the way, Death has swallowed up in victory Every one that wore the gray. Sad! Ah sad! will be our Southland, When we have no veteran gray, Dark! Oh dark! will be the morning, When the last one ' s passed away. Clouds will dim each peaceful voyage, When his resting place they view, And when parting all will echo: God and brave, Adieu! Adieu! And through every field of clover, And among the golden grain, And along the battered breastworks, Where her bravest sons were slain, Will be monuments of memory, While neath every bank of clay, Myriads of leaden missiles Will remind us of our gray. We love to teach our children Of those heroes who are dead, Of the battle scars they carried, Marching with a soldier ' s tread; Of their loyal hearts so tender, All aglow in truth ' s array, And the many recollections Of the boys who wore the gray. And so long as time speeds onward, And there is a heaven of love, God will watch the silent sentinels Sleeping — from the world above, And He ' ll guard through endless ages, Sacred memories of the gray, Throughout time ' s eternal pages, When the last one ' s passed away. 121 N. L. P. A Chemical Analysis of the Compound-Litterae Scholae ITTER E Scholae is the chemical compound commonly known as Grad; Essay. Its symbol is C 10 o Iioo SsoMx (C — Conceit; I — Ignorance; S — Sesqui- pedalia Verba; M — Merit). OCCURRENCE: This compound occurs in very large quantities in al of our Universities, colleges, public schools, and in fact constitutes quite a prominent feature in all kinds of institutions of learning. Its nature has not yet been fully determined, as it possesses some qualities of solids, liquids and gasses combined. Certain qualities that are common to solids, such as being hard, weighty profound, grave, important, substantial, firm, and compact are also peculiar to Grad Essays. It is frequently found in the gaseous state and at very high temper- ature. This state is the invariable result when it contains in large proportions the substance commonly known as hot air. When found in certain localities, such as public schools, small academies, etc., it often shows traces of the liquid state, such as flowing or sounding smoothly, its prominent feature being in the form of what is termed Liquid Melody, but more commonly and wrongly called Flowery. Its nature is not constant, but on the other hand quite varied and varies with the character of the place where found. The solid state occurs most frequently in Universities. The gaseous form seems to predominate in Colleges, Preparatory Institutions, etc. And as mentioned before, the liquid form seems wholly confined to Public Schools, Institutes and Academies. It seems to have a greater affinity for that than cold as it almost invariably occurs in May or June. Sometimes in very rare instances it is found in the winter, but this is the exception and not the rule, as it is commonly found more abundant and widely distributed about Commencement. As this has comparatively little affinity for other substances it is generally discovered in a per- fectly free form. In the literary world it has a realm peculiarly its own and is easily recognized wherever found. PREPARATION: There are several methods of obtaining Grad Essays, depending upon the place of their occurrence. For lack of time to treat them all I will only discuss the method commonly pursued in our Universities. Take a student that has been in the University for from three to five years, let him be endowed with a considerable amount of self-importance, a very vivid imagination, and an ample vocabulary, and a large proportion of ignorance on the subject selected for the essay. Place in a room by himself together with a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a book of synonyms, and all of the available material by all authors on the subject selected. Let him cram for several days and then he is ready for use. Mix 50 grams of Ignor- ance with about 40 grams of the Thoughts of Others and 10 milograms of original ideas. Burn with this a considerable amount of midnight oil. Let a few quotations and big words be stirred into this mixture and a precipitate of Grad Essay is formed. The result is more effective when the greatest possible amount of pressure is brought to bear, the pressure increasing directly the nearer the approach of Commencement. PROPERTIES: Grad Essay is malleable in that it is often formed or shaped under very slight pressure. Ductile in that it is capable of being drawn out into very 122 long discourses, and a small amount of the substance being easily made to cover con- siderable space. It is tenacious in that it is tough. Its density is the greatest of any of the known substances. The molecular weight when measured by the Senior-iooo, but when measured by the Faculty is .001. Its specific gravity (with the Ideas of the Faculty as Standard) is almost nil. When given off in large quantities it produces a very unpleasant effect upon all hearers. It has been experimented with more than any substance known and the varying results being almost infinite. It is usually homogeneous and terminates in a peroration. USES: Grad Essays are used extensively by Seniors in exchange for a sheep- skin commonly called a diploma. Faculties usually resort to it as the last torture they can inflict on students before graduation. Another use of which it is frequently made is as a means of expounding passages with meanings not obvious, such as Every cloud has a silver lining, All that glitters is not gold, Beyond the Alps lies Italy, etc. If they have succeeded in nothing else they have at least served one purpose, that of making men famous, either by making clear and constantly keeping before the minds of the people the passages of all the poets most difficult to understand, or with eulogies, high-flown words, and convincing argument they create heroes. Editors of college magazines use it extensively to fill up space when they are short of material for publication. HISTORY: The date of its discovery is not definitely known, but we have traces of it even in primitive times. It has gone through a series of evolution, however, until we have it in its present form. Until of late we found it usually attended with several bolts of blue ribbon attached to the upper part. Within the last few years we find an almost entire lack of this quality, but it does not seem to have any material effect on the substance. Mary Thomas. A Duty Done I ' ll write an ode to Springtime, As other poets do, Of green fields and of meadows And the diamond sparkling dew. I feel it quite a duty To write the spring a song, But this I am right sure of — It shan ' t be very long. The birds sing in the branches, The bee is on the wing, And if you try to catch him He ' 11 be quite sure to sting. The golden gleaming sunshine Pours down from azure skies, And the gentle zephyrs whisper, And blow dust in your eyes. An Ex-An-x Girl 123 Shakespeare Shakespeare, thou truth-speaking mouther of grand words! Born in the midst of greening English lanes, With gladsome, glorious songs that rivaled half the birds, Sweet sudden darts of wit and sorrowful refrains. Who knowing human nature spoke it true Without the sign of false and dull disguise. Wrote nothing old yet something ever new, And found his plot in other people ' s eyes. All characters he painted with his master touch, A villain in the black hues of his art, Drew every line and shadow not lighting over much The villainious villainy of the villian ' s part. A wise crowned warrior knight of old, Who held his rocking throne within his grasp, With strong arms that many a time had felled The noblest men of war in warring warlike clasp. The broad browed, blue eyed singer of the soul, Who held the hearts of mighty knights in sway When in the themes of love his voice did roll In accents tender, sad, half gay. The clown, the nimble quick-tongued jester of the court, Who found the agile flash of wit in everything. The jolly friar who loved his ale and port Far better than the joy good deeds might bring. And woman, fair past the telling of it, Woman with woman ' s heart touched with the light of love, With the glory of courage and truth and the boundless store of wit, Yet, gentle, faithful and sweet, man ' s earthly gleam from above. And last the lover with love burning eyes, With wild impassioned heart and silver tongue, With breaking heart brimmed o ' er with sighs. And harp that wailing numbers flung, Great master of a buried age. Dead long since in the arms of time, True poet songster, wisest sage Who ever wrote in deathless rhyme. Annie O. Taylor. 124 A Few S. W. U. Yarns Y Wfl IP, RAP, RAP. The club will please come to order. The Ananias p F rv Club is now in full blast; President Harris in the chair. Roll was called and only Prof. Tinsley failed to answer. Then in solemn tones the president addressed the assembly: Gentlemen, you have assembled, as is your wont, this afternoon, to narrate some of your choicest bits of prevarication. Please remember that your remarks are to be taken down in short hand by the secretary and that before a lie is recorded on our books it must be duly attested by the secretary and signed by the original prevaricator. Gentlemen, we will now proceed. Mr. Wofford — Mr. President, while on my father ' s ranch this summer, I was riding along loading my revolver, when a jack rabbit with the finest pair of ears I ever saw, jumped up. At once I had my horse running at full speed. I began to shoot at passing rabbits. Mr. President, I killed six rabbits with six shots riding in one direction and they running past me in the other. I shot the long-eared one at ioo yards. The President — Mr. Wofford, this is no place for amateurs. Ah, Mr. Aldredge! Mr. Aldredge has the floor. Mr. Aldredge — Mr. President, I also was on a ranch this summer. I saw a cow-boy throw a can into the air and by shooting it on the under side keep it sus- pended there until he emptied his revolver three times. Mr. Pierce — Mr. President, that ' s nothing. I saw a man throw a can into the air and by hitting it on the under side make it return to him and fall at his very feet. The President — Mr. Secretary, register this lie as No. 2564. Mr. Turk. Mr. Turk — Mr. President, I also was on a ranch this summer. One evening a cow-boy came riding across the plains toward the house He was riding like hel — like the dickens — and he stopped so quick that his horse turned inside out. (Exclamations of surprise, then a weak, timid, inquiring voice was heard asking where the man was.) The President — Register No. 2565. Mr. Green, what do you want ? Won ' t you please wait till we get to the amateur class ? Well, go on. Mr. Green — Mr. President, while living near Beaumont, I came into town one day to a circus. The balloon was about to ascend and the balloon-man was offering a five specker to anyone who would go up with him. As I needed the money badly I called his offer, and stepped into the basket. We were soon up into the clouds and still going. My stomach began to grow weak and so when a fierce storm appeared, why, I threw off a good deal of human ballast over the edge of the car and it wasn ' t sand either. Lightning and thunder began to raise cane and when a mighty wind struck us and the big bag collapsed — we began to fall, and to fall at a fearful rate. I clung to the wreck until I saw that it was useless. What must I do! I watched the aeronaut as his parachute failed to work. He made a rapid descend and then splattered. It made a fearful impression on me, and set me to thinking. 125 So I pulled oft my pants, tore them into strips, tied these to my coat, threw open my parachute and descended in safety. The President — Register the gentleman at once as No. 2566. At this juncture a communication was read from Mr. Greer Taylor o Kaufman. He congratulated the club and enclosed the following: While hunting in Florida for ducks my gun burst and left me with a full supply of caps and powder. Surely I must take home some game. So I started in quest of smaller game. I had given up in disgust, when I came upon a giant alligator asleep on the edge of the bank. He was the largest I ever saw. A ravenous desire to bag him overcame me and I set my wits to work. So I crept up quietly, slipped caps onto his shining tusks filled his mouth full of powder and then began to chunk him. He awoke — snapped his jaws together, thus exploding the caps and igniting the powder. The alligator ' s head was torn off but the rest of his body was all right. Prof. Tinsley, who had arrived, asked for the floor. Gentlemen, said he, speaking of alligators reminds me of the peculiarities of the frog. The frog is a peculiar thing. He will snook until he is drunk, or if he is sitting in tepid water and the water gradually warmed, he will not move until he is hard boiled. His tongue is made for snapping up things. Why, you can roll small shot at him and he ' ll catch every one until he gets so heavy he can ' t move at all. [Knocks and hisses.] Then if you hold him (the frog) by his tail he ' ll spit out everyone and be ready to take on the same dose again. The President — Register the gentleman as No. 2567. At this juncture the petition for membership of the gentleman from Arizona- Mr. Hotchkiss — was read and Mr. Hotchkiss was introduced. He was a long drawn out guy, possessing a remarkable countenance, more brass than wit and about 15 cents. The President — Mr. Hotchkiss, can you show that you are qualified for membership ? Mr. Hotchkiss — Mr. President, I can only say that I am lately from Arizona and can say that while there I saw and experienced some wonderful things. Gentle- men, it is the most God-forsaken country on the green globe. The heat up there is something fearful. The thermometer generally registers about 116 to 124 degrees in the shade every summer day. The only reason that people don ' t die off by the hundreds with sunstroke is on account of the high altitude. The land is very fertile, too — in fact the most fertile I ever saw, yet on account of the terrible heat it is impossible to raise anything. A man once planted a small tree and tied an um- brella over the top of it to shade it from the heat. He turned an irrigation ditch right by the side of it and kept watering it till it grew right up through the clouds and he didn ' t know how much further. He didn ' t know what he would do with it after it had grown so tall, so he simply had a hole cut in the center all the way up and an elevator put in and he went to heaven. Corn will grow out there. You know corn will grow anywhere. But what good does it do, for as soon as the ears come out on the stalk, the sun pops the corn right off them. Why, I ' ve seen a corn-field in July that looked like a bank of snow. They have about as much trouble raising corn as they do chickens. It ' s heap more 126 trouble to raise chickens in Arizona than you think. Why, they have to feed the hens cracked ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. Mr. President, you just can ' t imagine how hot it is out there. Why, there was a man died at a little town called Yuma — and he went to hell. When he got down there, he had a chill and wrote back for his blankets. Why, Mr. President, it ' s so hot that — The President — Mr. Secretary, enter the gentleman ' s name and put him in the Professional class, also register Lie No. 2567. Mr. Black has the floor. Mr. Black — Mr. President, one evening lately, I was returning from Dallas. We were speeding along some three hours behind time when No. 6 answered the signal to stop at Joshua. It was about 2 a. m. At the station, a rough looking, sandy- whiskered, middle-aged man boarded the train and we pulled out. The passengers were sleeping, except here and there a few engaged in conversation. Our new recruit found him a seat in the rear end of the car. the conductor took his fare and all was quiet again. Scarcely had the new passenger found an easy position when he ' plunged ' into sleep. I say ' plunged, ' for it was more than a mere falling asleep. The pas- sengers were fully aware that he was asleep from the very start, for he snored. The train was now speeding. The occasional double thud, caused by the trucks passing over the rail joints had passed through the clattering stage and now gave forth a continual roar. The car was rucking furiously, but above all the roar and the rattle of the fast moving train, and the fluttering exhausts of the engine, could be heard distinctly anywhere in the car, the irregular and excruciating tones of the late passenger ' s dream music. Soon the women began to murmur, men began to swear, and the babies and children began to cry in one mighty chorus. Yet above all could be heard that gurgling, strangling, growling sound from our sleeping friend. At a glance it was evident that he was the only sleeping person in the car. The others were fast maddening and expressions of disgust and contempt could be heard from every quarter: ' Put him out ' , ' Wake him up ' , ' Shoot him ' , and such like expres- sions came in one united chorus. Still he snored. It was the most artistically exe- cuted job that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. He could ascend from the lowest bass growls to the sharpest and keenest tenor shrieks in a breath. He would bubble and splutter, and fry and siz; then would drawl in a long, slow, and laborious breath, and exhale it with a whistle that would send pain to our ears. In fact he con- joined all the expressive tones of the dying, the crazy, the frantic, in one mighty chorus. He gave more genuine stunts in the shortest time than any man I have ever heard. Just as the roar of the train was loudest, the turmoil among the passengers the fiercest, and the exercises of the sleeper were the most unbearable, there was a crash, a flash, and sudden darkness. Some few minutes later I found myself about thirty feet from the track and after thinking for a while, I remembered that something had happened. I was unhurt. Upon inquiry I learned that a freight had taken the siding to let No. 6 pass and the brakeman had neglected to close the switch. We had collided with a freight at the great speed we were going. I found as yet no one had been killed, but that a crew of men were working at the chair-car. A man was caught under this and was groaning and struggling and from such sounds must be fast dying. It was a fearful wreck. All 127 1 I were at work trying to rescue the dying man. The relief train arrived and its crew set to work to get to the man caught under the debris of the chair car. I shall never for- get the scene. Men working like mad, women and children crying out of pity for the suffering one — and the most excruciating gurgles and groans coming from under the wreck. Finally after much work, the man was reached. They dragged him out, and shook him. They worked his arms and rubbed his face, surgeons and physicians were crowded around with bandages and cotton. They threw water in his face. I saw it was the sandy-whiskered man. Presently he quietly opened his eyes, yawned, and sleeply asked if this was Fort Worth. ' Aren ' t you hurt, ' yelled the crowd. He was unhurt and had just awoke. He certainly could snore. Gentlemen, he was a genius in his line. The President — Register No. 2568. At this point, the president got disgusted, called on the vice-president to take his chair and let loose: Near the city of Fulshear, not far from my home there lived an old man, well known as Mr. Bell. Mr. Bell was a ranchman; his ranch, as he called it, was com- posed of cattle, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, guineas and hogs. The last was, as he expressed it, his ' most beloved. ' He took more interest in them than any of the rest, for he afterwards got rid of everything except his hogs, and with the money he received for the cattle and poultry, he invested in more hogs and finer ones. He then possessed some five hundred head. His hogs seemed to him to be increasing very slowly, in fact decreasing very fast, The fastidiousness of the affair so startled him that he straightway sought methods of finding out what became of them. He also noticed that his corn was missing. So, in his desperation he decided to lay in wait. By this time, the whole country was talking and watching for the thief. Mr. Bell one night crawled upon his corn crib with his gun well loaded with nail heads, large and little shot, a few bolts and other such commodities. Along about two o ' clock in the morning, he heard something coming towards the crib, the noise becoming more and more audible until he was able to perceive some black object, a man, as he sup- posed, about six feet high. He crawled over the fence, stealthily approached the door, which he quietly opened and then took all the corn he wanted and started back again. Merely for curiosity ' s sake, Mr. Bell slid off the roof and proceeded to follow the retreat- ing figure, incidentally hoping that in some way he might run upon his lost hogs. He followed him about five miles through the cane-brake and finally he threw the corn over into some kind of a pen and turning around, Mr. Bell saw that he had been fol- lowing a big black bear. As soon as he saw Mr. Bell, he took after him. Mr. Bell started to shoot, but as the gun shot only once he was afraid to wait till the bear got in range. Then to make the race easier he threw his gun down and lit a shuck. The bear saw him throw the gun down and running to it he picked it up and if he could have cocked it, he would have shot Mr. Bell. Mr. Bell now had a good start and after a run of about four miles came upon a bunch of hunters. The gathered up all the dogs in town and started after the bear. After an exciting fight the bear was killed. Then on investigation they found Mr. Bell ' s hogs, two hundred and twenty-three. The bear had made a hedge by piling up brush, and here he had put the two hundred and twenty-three stolen pigs. He had stolen corn all along and fed them. Here they 128 prospered and multiplied. Mr. Bell took home with him five hundred fat hogs. This is a true story, gentlemen, and I can prove it by every man in our county. The president looked up to find every member buried in sweet slumber and about the only comments that were made upon his remarks were irregular snorts from the dreamers. At such a sight the president grew white in his anger, choked and fainted and quiet reigned supreme. In Days Gone By How good it must have been to dwell In those fair days gone by, Amid the chime of cloister bell And the gallant lover ' s sigh. When the gay troubadour A careless hand swept on Over the strings of his guitar, And sang an old love song. Round the king all splendor glowed, Jeweled robes and women fair, And a noble man he strode, Loved and honored everywhere. All his country smiled with plenty. All the land was overflowed With his many acts of mercy. People blessed him as he rode. Truly such a good old time Well might be golden age, Praised in painting, praised in rhyme; Fittest thought for every sage. Annie O.

I 131 The Evolution of a Young Hopeful Full-Fledged Prep. Dear Papa:- I intended to write you, all last week, but have been so busy since I got here I haven ' t had time to take my wash yet. I studied last night until half past one o ' clock and night before until nearly two. Speaking of night before last reminds me of a chicken fry we had. Bill — Bill is my room-mate — he is the finest fellow I ever knew. To show you how good he is, I will tell you he is the son of a preacher — Old Brother Wilson. Bill has lost seven pounds studying. I never did tell you what a time I had finding my room when I first hit Georgetown, did I ? When I got off the train a fat little fellow named Pat asked me if I wanted my trunk hauled up. I told him to take it to Gidding ' s Hall. He said there warn ' t no such place in Georgetown. I asked several boys about it and they said that I had got off at the wrong place, they guessed, because one said he had been living here for two years and he didn ' t know anything about a Gidding ' s Hall. I went up town and went into several stores. None of them had ever heard about Gidding ' s Hall. A fellow in a sody stand named Ed. Christbug said he knew where the Mess Hall was all right, but he had been living here nigh onto thirty years and he didn ' t know any Gidding ' s Hall. I went next door and an old man said: You galoot, — you are hunting for the Mess Hall. Let me sell you some books. So I am here in the Mess Hall. I wonder how they made a mistake in the catalog and called it Gidding ' s Hall. I understand why they call it Mess Hall. I saw Dr. Hyer yesterday. He isn ' t the nice man you think he is, papa. You remember how jolly he was down home and how he would laugh when you told him a joke and how he said I had the finest head on me he ever saw. That was all put on. You ought to see him up here. He made out like he had forgotten my name. He walks like he had a pitchfork down his back and talks like old ' Squire Parsons. Maybe I don ' t know him much as I don ' t hardly ever see him. I wish you could know Professor Burcham. He is the funniest fellow. The boys up here call him Old Birch. I think he would like to stay on the farm. He looks just like Uncle Joe. I ' ve never seen his wife. Bill says she is in very delicate health and don ' t come out often. Papa, I have spent that $10.00. Will you please send me 75 cents more. I want to get me a baseball glove. Tell Dan and Sam and Frank and Rich that I will write to them. Give my regards to mamma and the children. Yours truly, John. P. S. — I have been elected Sergeant-at-arms of the Alamo Society. This is one of the highest offices in school and I feel very much honored. I was elected by declamation. 132 P. S. — I also joined the Athletic Association at the City Hall. All of the boys have to be examined. My examination took two hours. I made the highest grade that has ever been made. The judge told me I was the fastest man he ever saw. John. Year Sopho more Dear Rich:- I have intended to write to you for the past two years. I wish you were up here. Am having a jolly time. Rich, you know we used to think Sadie and Winnie fast girls. I wish you could see these up here. One Sunday right at church one sat down behind me and kept making remarks about me and passed me notes. She sure was pretty and after church was over I went home with her. Her mother washes for the Mess Hall. I stayed until 12 o ' clock. Say — I got a letter from Mary the other day. She makes me tired. She don ' t know beans from buttermilk. I don ' t like her like I used to. I tell you, Rich, a college man ' s got no time to throw away on such an ignorant, innocent little thing. My! She sure does love me, though. In her letter she said she was counting the days until I would be home. I bet she would not count any more if she knew about Daisy Monroe. I have never told you about Daisy, have I ? Well, it was this way. Daisy was visiting Judge Watterson and man! she was a beauty. Black hair, parted in the middle and deep brown eyes and pretty teeth and the peachiest cheek. Rich, if you could hear her laugh once you ' d die in love with her. She lisped as sweet and could say more cute things. Three Seniors were rushing her. Mrs. Watterson told me they were all sticks and asked me to come over. So I went over one evening and found those two big headed grads there. I was it, and they left disgusted about 11:45 and then I got busy. She was easy. I want bigger game. She thought I was the whole game. I laugh when I think of those old grads. I think I ' ll cut them all out and be true to Roberta. Roberta is in the Annex. Roberta is given up to be the prettiest girl in the Annex. My! she loves the old man. And she is slick, too. The librarian never has caught us while we were talking in the hall. Once Mrs. McKennon came out and Roberta walked off as if she never knew me. She has on a frat pin, but I am going to make her take it off. These frats! they make me tired. Every frat man in school is a stuck-up fool and sports his little old pin as if it gave him a pass into everything. I ' ll show them something if they don ' t quit monkeying with Roberta. Roberta is going to take off that pin as soon as I get my Alamo pin. I wish every frat man in school was where I wished him. There is a little Annex girl here from Houston. She is little and cute, and I think she is ready. Write soon. Good bye. Your old chum, John. Senior Year Dear Father :- Have hardly time to write. I ' m working hard to get my diploma. Dr. Hyer and I have been doing some special work in electrical ph enomena. Have spent the 133 greater part of my time this week reading up on Maxwell, Tindall, and Faraday. Am also hard at work on a thesis: The Relation Between the Ionic Theory and the Molecular Theory. I have spent two months on it. Will also send you my last article, The Westward Tendency of Empire. It was published in the Scientific Department of our Magazine. You know the expenses of my grad year will be heavier than the others, so please send me $10.00 a month extra. Also $50.00 for my grad gown. Well, as I have an engagement with Dr. Carroll, I will close. Lovingly, John. Dear Rich:- Have very little time. Things are doing up here. You should have been here last night and have heard the great Senior Oratorical Contest. The undersigned is the proud possessor of a $100.00 gold medal. Rich, it would tickle you to see how much studying I am doing. Truly I haven ' t seen my Ganot for a month, and as to Greek and Latin, well I haven ' t seen Vaden for a month. It is the biggest cinch I ever had. Went to an Annex reception last night. It made me tired. There were about fifty little old girls that bothered the life out of me. Not a single one had sense enough to even look sensible. I spent the most of my time talking with one of the lady teachers. I guess I am papa with her. Have just got me a new frat pin, cost me $50.00 — pearls and diamonds. It is a beauty. The frat men are about the only men in school I care to associate with. They are by far the swellest. My frat leads the bunch. We got a royal little fellow from Houston the other night, — father worth about $500,000, and he is about the swellest Freshman I ever knew. Both the other frats rushed him to death. Come up Commencement. We are going to have a time. Good-bye, John. The Voices of the Storm Far in a realm unhaunted By mortal spirit, alone In the land of storm undaunted Dwell the restless ghost and gnome. Forever and ever they fly Into the bleak night wild. When the loud wind rages high They frighten each little child. Tucked into their warm beds tight, They shiver and tremble alone, And vainly wish it were light, While the ghost and goblin moan Their sorrow into the night. Annie O. Taylor. 134 An Act of Kindness — Long Drawn Out Understand, please, at the very outset, that this narrative is not the product of my imagination, for then it would not be a true story. Some of you, indeed, may have heard it before, for the incident excited quite a good deal of interest at the time it occurred. And now I merely tell it to you as it was told me by my friend, who was theTiero of the episode, and in whose veracity I have the greatest confidence. |Tj Yes, said he, in answer to my questions, there was a lady in the case; and strange as it may seem, it was her kindness of heart, or the outward expression thereof, that caused the trouble.| i: [ It was Easter Sunday, and you know what that means in Georgetown. The church was beautifully decorated with lilies and palms and ferns. Everybody was in fresh Easter attire. The large mass of people, viewed as a body, was veritably a kaleidoscope of happy faces, pretty hats, and waving fans. The air was filled with the delicate perfume of lily and lady, and there was that peculiar atmosphere of liveliness and good spirits that may approach exuberance and not become irreverent. In accordance with my custom, I took a seat near the front, and directly across the aisle from the Annex. Just behind me sat ' the lady in the case, ' one of my best girl friends. The quiet hum and flutter of the waiting audience had ceased, and the choir had begun upon an anthem prepared especially for the occasion, when my friend happened to notice a little yarn string on the collar of my coat. Being one of the kindest of souls, and a strict observer of the Golden Rule, she put forth her hand to remove it for me. The music was lovely. The volume of the sound was magnificent, and the melody sweet. Above all, it was not too classical for my degree of musical culture. I thought I had never heard music more beautiful. I sat almost entranced. But all at once, I became aware of a very peculiar sensation. It began with a kind of creepy feeling along my spine. I began to grow alarmed, for I had never experienced anything like it before. It felt as if several spiders or insects had taken up their abode with me, and were enjoying a spirited hop, skipping and dancing up and down my back. But no, they seemed to be angry and excited; perhaps they were unwilling captives, and were seeking some avenue of escape. And oh, how earnestly I desired their freedom! Thoroughly frightened, I rose to leave the church. As I did so, I involuntarily looked toward my friend and was puzzled to observe that her face was scarlet. The crawling ceased as I strode back up the aisle, but when I was outside, and had closed the door behind me, it began again in earnest. And I began to walk in earnest, too. But the faster I walked, the livelier became the movements of my 135 nn persecutors. The enemy seemed to be rapidly increasing in number, too, for the crawling was extending itself over my body and into my limbs. Could I be hatch- ing out a nest of wasps, I wondered. The thought filled me with horror; I could feel the angry flutter of their wings, I fancied, and expected every minute for the stinging to begin. Terror-stricken and exhausted, I burst into my room and threw off my clothing. For a moment I was dumfounded. Then the truth flashed upon me. Of my union suit, all that now remained were the narrow bands around my wrists, neck, and ankles, and a clothes-line, so to speak, along the route so lately travelled. Benjamin Ogilvie Hill. A Scene from the Play of Life The Student comprised every quality that a good fellow or a jolly old boy should possess — at ease — witty — indifferent — familiar — free — idle unto lazi- ness — with no thought of the morrow nor of the yesterday. Good morning, my gay friend! Thou seemest at ease with the world this morning. Hast Love been kind — or thy Exams, are they well prepared ? Why should I be sad? None but Fools and Freaks should ever sorrow or worry, for the world is one grand picnic and Life but is a vacation. Anxiety and Care, my dull friend, are but vampires that drink up the red wine of Life and but poisons that destroy laughter and pleasure — Examinations — Ah, they worry me but a little. Why need I study over Latin and Greek and spend my time in Thought when I have an engagement with my old friends. Inspiration and Providence — they will be on hand and see me through. (Later.) Why so sad, my erstwhile gay friend ? Why the change ? Is Life all shadow and Time but a Frown ? Cheer up! (Inspiration and Providence had broken their engagement.) Fragment of a Reverie on the Prep. Oratorical Contest HE SEASON now approaches when the resonant accents of the embrio orator shall echo through the halls of the Prep, and o ' er the jungles of the San Gabriel, even as the mournful voice of the government mule resounds about the corral at the breaking of the morn. The strident tones of the eloquent Prep, shall cause the members of the faculty, assembled together to pass judgment on the maiden effort of the budding Demosthenes, to marvel even, as men marvel, at the won- drous vocal accomplishments of the humble bullfrog, saying one to another: How is it come to pass, that so small an animal can produce so great a noise? See the hitherto insignificant Prep, as he rises to his feet, to proclaim the never dying glory of Horatius, or the fact that Curfew shall not ring tonight. Behold his brow wrinkled with thought, and his knees trembling even as the leaves of the rustling sycamore tremble in the summer breezes. His gestures, given with the frenzied earnestness of a whirling dervish and the awkward motions of a jumping-jack, remind us most forcibly of that redoubtable antagonist of Don Quixote, the wind-mill of Xeares. And when he takes his seat, amidst bursts of laughter and applause, blushing like a summer sunset and perspiring like the traditional Nigger at an Election, if you could resolve a semblance of order from the chaos of his mind you would find these nebulous ideas in regard to a great speech, which some time in the dim future he intends to deliver in the Senate of the United States.

On the sheltering campus The college smithy stands. The smith, a migthy man is he, With large and and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. His hair is parted right or wrong; His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest tears; He knocks whoe ' er he can; He does his duty despite his fears For he spares not any man.

By jocks, I ' ll bet my head to a doughnut that . Lengthy Brown. — Oh come on old boy, give me some odds, give me some odds. There was a young student named Dough, Who declared that his math was too tough, So he ceased to be merry, This jolly young Terry; And the doctor prescribed for him snough. Mac Green. — Dr. Allen, I believe the Hollanders are the favored race rather than the Jews. I never heard of a Jew angel. Dr. Allen. — Well, did you ever hear of a Dutch angel ? Mac. — Why yes, haven ' t you ever heard of the ' Flying Dutchman ? ' 172 -— -..— ■■ — .■—■.■ Who?

The Joker. — Oh, I have been so devoid of all filthy lucre. There was a young Freshman named Crain Who said he lived in Longview, He declared he loved a Mann, And so took his stand, He says he decided with pain, The love of the annex to eschew.

Her Name Was Helen. Mr. Newberry wished to tell a joke the other day. Said he: One time a woman named — ah, named — ah — Oh phaw! Hunt was her last name, but I can ' t think of her first. I ' m going to tell my joke, anyway, so I ' ll just call her Mollie Hunt. Well, she found a pocket-book with some money in it, on her way to church, and she told the pastor to announce. So this is what the preacher said: If any one in the audience has lost a pocket-book, let him go to Mollie Hunt for it. Then he was con- scious that there was something wrong with his joke, but could not tell what it was. Roger Pierce (after calling on Miss ). — promise tonight that will surely be hard to keep. Dab. — What was it old lady ? Rog. — I promised never to play League Ball. ' Say Dab, I made my lady a hui (Some one had stolen Mr. X ' s suit case). Friend. — Perhaps some one took it for a joke. Mr. X. — Well, by Jove, I don ' t like to see such a highly developed sense of I am the girl from Arkansaw, And I can saw as good as Parkansaw I can do what I wish, Swim like a fish, And chaw as good as Markanchaw. 174 L ■a I 1 ■ I I Medical and Pharmaceutical Departments Southwestern University. 175 Staff of Medical Department Sessler Hoss, Frederick A.

The character of the work has far surpassed our anticipations. The number of students has not been large because of the recent organization of the school, and because of the fact that the standard of scholarship required eliminated the large number of students who were simply in search of a diploma. It is the purpose of the institution to equip the student with that knowledge of medicine and surgery which will best prepare him for the practical labors of his profession. The former plan of teaching for the most part by didactic lectures is rapidly giving place to the more efficient methods of instruction in the laboratories directed by men of experience and skill, and at the bed-side of patients under the care of physicians and surgeons of sound judgment and superior attainments. And the student must learn not simply by reading books and listening to lectures, but by doing under proper direction the actual work as far as possible which will be required of him in his chosen vocation. With this object in view we have provided not only the facilities for efficient laboratory work, but unusual opportunities for clinical instruction of an individual character by men who have attained distinction in their favorite fields of practice. It is moreover the desire of the faculty to impress not alone the salient points that pertain to the purely technical knowledge of the healing art, but also those lofty principles of professional conduct which form such an important part in the life of the true physician. 177 Faculty of Medical Department Officers of Faculty Robert S.
