SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. PRESENTED BY I ft- MOOD.HEMTAGE MUSEUM GEORGETOWN, TEXAS TO DOCTOR ROBERT STEWART HYER, THE LOVED REGENT OE SOUTHWESTERN UNIVKRSIL ' V, THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICAT ED. UBRARY OF SOUTHWESTERN IM7 ! DR. ROBERT STEWART HYER. ROBERT STEWART HYER, M.A., LL.D. Regent of Southwestern University. ' Professor of Physics. Robert Stewart Hyer was born October 18, i860, in Oxford, Ga. He at- tended the Atlanta High School and later Emory College preparatory school, where he won a scholarship to Emory College, which he entered in 1876. There he became a member of the X3 Fraternity and also joined the Few Literary Society, progressing in public speaking until he won the Sophomore Declaimer ' s Medal, also the Junior Orator ' s Medal. During his last two years at Emory he was assistant professor in laboratory chemistry. In 1881 he received the A.B. degree with first honors. Southwestern University having secured his services as Professor of Natural Science, he reached Georgetown, Tex., December 20, 1881, assuming his duties in January, 1882, and from that time has been identified with the growth of the University, acting a more prominent part than his retiring nature displays to the public. Honors have come to him unsought. After he received, in 1884, the degree M.A. from his alma mater, Central College of Missouri conferred the degree LL.D. upon the now widely-known scientist. Dove — fairest of honor ' s garlands, but, in this instance, not unsought — crowned Dr. Hyer, when he was united, February 24, 1887, in marriage with Miss Margaret Hudgins, a graduate of S. W. U. Dr. and Mrs. Hyer have three children : Victoria Ray, Robert Stewart, Jr., and Margaret Hearne. Not the least of Dr. Hyer ' s honors is a remark, made in conversation, by his wife: Dr. Hyer never loses his temper. He has been three times a delegate to the General Conference of the M. E. Church, vSouth; in 1898, at Baltimore; in 1902, at Dallas, and at Birmingham in 1906. He was also a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in London in 1901, at which time, accompanied by Mrs. Hyer, he spent three months in England. When the famous X-ray was discovered, Dr. Hyer ' s prompt experiments and thorough researches at once extended his reputation as a scientist. His election as Regent soon followed. The special meeting of the Curators of Southwestern University in 1897 at Waco elected Dr. Hyer, Regent, but he declined the honor, preferring to devote his whole attention to science. However, he was again elected to the Regency, May 30, 1898. Although it was with reluctance that Dr. Hyer assumed the responsibility, yet since his incumbency of the office his abil- ities have constantly advanced the institution. But that he might devote more time to his Chair of Physics, he has resigned the Regency on three different oc- casions ; however, each time the Board of Curators has refused to accept his resig- nation. If they are spoiling a good scientist, they are at least keeping an able Regent. Among the forward steps of the University during Dr. Hyer ' s regency is the completion of the main building, also the founding of several new chairs. The Chair of Natural Science has become three different departments: the chair of Chemistry, the Chair of Biology, the Chair of Physics; the latter of which Dr. Hyer now holds. The Chair of Biblical Literature has also been founded. But more especially due to Dr. Hyer ' s efforts individually is the raising of the college curriculum, which has placed the college work of S. W. U. in the forefront, and for this advance Dr. Hver should have the largest share of praise. In character, Dr. Hyer is one who should be known well to be appreciated. He does not dwindle by close acquaintance. The most serious charge against him is that his retiring nature obscures his own light. The respect of the student-body — a good index of character — is commanded by Dr. Hyer without effort. Self- control gives him such influence over the students that he is known among them as King Bob. Dr. Hyer ' s times cannot now be written. If he reaches man ' s allotted three- score and ten vears, more than half his work in life may still lie in the future. Contents. Dedication, Page r. Trustees and Curators, .... Page 12.

JO SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY— ITS PURPOSES AND PROSPECTS. Southwestern University was established in 1872 by Dr. F. A. Mood and his confreres for the explicit purpose of providing Christian education for the young men and women of Texas. Christian education has a threefold object: the har- monious development of man intellectually, morally, and physically; and any form of education which stresses any of these phases to the neglect of another is abnormal and perversive. For the intellectual culture of the students who may matriculate with it, Southwestern University has a large and efficient corps of Professors and In- structors ; a liberal supply of apparatus for its scientific departments ; literary so- cieties for the young men and for the young ladies ; a well-selected library of more than eight thousand volumes ; and excellent advantages in the special Departments of Art, Music, and Expression. The moral environments are unusual. Besides the churches and their reg- ular services, there are a Young Men ' s Christian Association and a Young Women ' s Christian Association, both of which are well attended. The moral atmosphere of Georgetown is wholesome. Perhaps the most significant step taken this year was the organization of the Students ' Council of Honor, consisting of representa- tives from the different classes, who try to adjust all cases of dishonorable con- duct, any student having the right to appeal his case to the Faculty. The Athletic Association is one of the most active organizations in the Uni- versity, the students taking a very lively interest in it. The ball team, the track team, and the Glee Club are controlled by it. Considerable headwav is being made, looking to the erection and equipment of a gymnasium. A large amount of money is already pledged, and the enterprise will be vigorously pushed to its completion. Through the very successful efforts of Rev. John R. Nelson, the Financial Agent of the University, funds are being raised for the erection of another dor- mitory for voung men. It is hoped that this building will be ready for use in the fall. It will cost approximately 50,000, and will be strictly modern in all re- spects, and will help to solve the problem of the ever-increasing attendance of the University. The Medical Department, located at Dallas, has attained a high degree of success. The far-sightedness in recognizing and taking advantage of the facilities which Dallas affords for a college of medicine and pharmacv is becoming more and more evident. The clinical opportunities offered by St. Paul ' s Sanitarium and other institutions, combined with a large and well-trained Faculty, will make this a large and successful department. The awakening interest in Christian education in Texas makes us the more confident of the future of Southwestern University. Aside from the enterorises alreadv launched, others will follow. Increased endowment and a library building are sure to be secured. More scholarships will be established ; new departments will be added, and more extensive courses provided. Just as surely as the Meth- od ' sts of Texas realize the possibilities of the institution they have founded, they will give to it with unstinted generosity, and perpetuate it as an exponent of our Christian civ ' lization. — .

The school year of ' 05-06 is nearing a close, and the history of another Senior Class in Southwestern University is to be recorded. While several of our Class entered upon their field of labor several years ago, each successive year added a few to the number, until now we stand a body of thirty-two men and women, representing every Department of the University. We have looked upon the Seniors of other vears as they passed from the dif- ferent class-rooms, strolled about the campus in all their dignity and glory, or wended their way to church, robed in flowing gowns of black, like so many mourn- ful spectres, perhaps with envy in our hearts; but, with the greatest respect would we greet them. By constant perseverance and close application, we were deter- mined to spend the weary hours in study and labor until every text should be completed and every examination passed, that we might be allowed to bear the title, Senior. The year ' 05 finds us ready for any requirement thrust upon us. We realize more forcibly than ever that our success depends upon the amount of energy ex- erted by us to fulfill them. The six weeks ' exams roll around, all too soon, bring- ing dread and anxiety; but, by burning the midnight oil — and candles in secret places — until the wee small hours of morning, the work is credibly done, one more round of the ladder is safely mounted, and the coveted diploma is seen more clearly in the distance. The people of the town have kindly opened their homes and allowed us to gather and spend an occasional evening very pleasantly ; thus are we freed from the monotony of books. Such kindness is most highly appreciated, and will ever be remembered. Now, as the balmy days of spring come, so conducive to laziness, and the earth takes on her mantle of green, richly jewelled with flowers, the different fields of athletics are opened, thus affording another place to win honors and distinction. Our boys, ever valiant and ready, still sustain the reputation made in former years. It is with great joy, vet with deep sorrow, that we wait for the final day r Commencement, to come, which will sever our association with each other as class- mates and friends and send us from the loved walls of our alma mater. In one great chorus we all will say : Best of the session, these last days; From pending studies our minds divert. We ' ve reached the parting of the ways, And to the past our thoughts revert ; Those happy days keep with us yet, Lest we forget ! Lest we forget ! 34 Fair are the maids from various homes, And sturdv the lads who have hailed; But now, with minds and bodies tired, For one short rest we ' ve wept and wailed. Music, art, books that made us fret, We ' 11 not forget ! We ' 11 not forget ! And we, who do so often join In Rahs thrice three and jolly fun, With merry hearts and lessons done, For us Life ' s battle is begun ; vStill college pranks are with us yet, We ' 11 not forget ! We ' 11 not forget ! Like beads along a crimson thread, Thro ' cloth of gold our joys are strung Thro ' all our college days now sped, And we our memories among, From pleasures passed some joy can get ; They ' re with us yet ! They ' re with us yet ! Crown of our pleasures, as students, The last Commencement will enjoy; Our alma mater her light lends To urge onward each girl or boy. With strong ambition and ideals set , We ' 11 not forget ! We ' 11 not forget ! If strong our efforts and high our aim, Our thoughts and deeds will upward trend, Respondent in the Halls of Fame, Till then our lives will have no end. O Lord of Hosts, be with us yet.

The Junior girls, in triumph, swill the sweetest nectar that flows at the Grad parties, and the Junior boys have their Summum bonum in the fact, on the one hand, that he is not a self-important Sophomore, plodding his way through Greek and Latin ; on the other, that he is not a depressed and care-worn Senior, who dreads the final exams and another year of Senior privileges, or an exit into the cold world, and who is continually harassed by the midnight raids of the Freshman, as he returns from his Mother Goose party. So, after a long and careful study of the situation, and a thorough and com- plete investigation, and after a protracted consultation with all the excellent members of our Class, we readily and unanimously agree that the most agreeable, most pleasant, most attractive, and most desirable place in Southwestern ' s ranks is in the Junior Class. We of the Junior Class of 1906 are truly proud of the record of our Class. Let us relate a few of our many honors : In literary circles, we enroll eight Inter- mediate debaters, two Brook ' s Prize debaters, preliminary orators, prize declaim- ers, and prize essayists. On the athletic field, a Junior is Captain of the Baseball Team and Juniors serve under him. Thus, you see, we have a Class to be proud of, and if we are not as far along the royal road as the Senior, yet — We are next. MEMBERS. Blackburn, W. L-, Junction, Tex.

I can ' t do it. It is beyond my power. Had I the rare ability of some genius to make each word breathe and live, and then could wreathe them into sentences with all the beauty and glory of the rainbow, I would attempt to write its history. But my words are too simple, too limp, too lifeless, for me to attempt to paint the halo that hovers around it. Suffice it to murmur, it is the principal flower in Southwestern ' s bouquet. We have orators, debaters, essayists, and theologians, tried and not found wanting. Imagine, if you can, what it will be two years hence, when, more mature and with more training, its members go out to combat in the struggles of life and to demand from the world the high positions they were born to fill.

The Alamo Society may be less famous for her orators than the original Al- amo for its brave defenders ; however, she is an important factor in Southwestern University in making well-rounded men. During a history of more than thirty years, men have gone out from our Society each year who are filling positions of honor and distinction as preachers, lawyers, professors, and professional men. The present year has, so far, been one of excellent work, and our prospects for the future are very encouraging. We have a number of men. of whom we may justly expect great things. The favorable comments concerning our Intermediate Debate this year were very gratifying. We were represented by Caveness, W. J. Stanford, and Abney versus E. R. Stanford, Boutwell, and Neal. We are well represented in all departments of athletics. Both the Editor and Business Manager of the Sou ' wester are Alamos. According to the custom of alternation between the Alamo and the San Jacinto Societies, we have the Editor of The Magazine this year. The following are some of the honors won by Alamos last vear: Salutatorian, Gaston Hartsfield. Senior Medallist, Gaston Hartsfield. Fresh-Soph Declamation Medal, J. Hale Edwarrk. Junior-Senior Essay Medal, R. D. Jones. Fresh-Soph Essay Medal, W. L. Blackburn Story Medal, R. D. Jones. Press Correspondent, W. Y. Switzer. Few of the honors for this year have yet been awarded, but we may sately say the Alamo Society will secure a large share. C. C. Young and L. B. Newberry will represent us in the Inter-Collegiate Debates with Oklahoma and Arkansas, respectively. Blackburn and Clark will represent us in the Brooks ' Prize Debate, and we do not hesitate to say that they will make things exceedinglv warm for the San Jacs. — F. D. Caveness. SOCIETY ROLL.

With the end of this term, Southwestern completes her banner year. More has been accomplished this term than any of the past two years. And with the Uni- versity 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 pres- ent active roll is the ex-member list, of which we are duly proud; for on that list may be seen manv who occupy offices of distinction. Preachers, lawyers, profes- sors, 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. Good work has been done in debating, declamation, and oratory, which work will be allowed to speak for itself at Commencement. I belieye 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. Hear you maybe fortunate enough to hear a Hill, a Bryan, or a Bailey. In Debates: L-. F. Chapman and W. A. Tarver will represent San Jacinto in the Inter-Collegiate Debates with Oklahoma and Arkansas, respectively. Wade and Bailev will represent us on the Brooks ' Prize Debate, and will, according to a traditional cust om, add one more debate to our great number. The interesting Intermediate Debate between Messrs. Macune, House, and Griffin vs. Rylander, Hill, and Key, 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. 74 SAN JACINTO ROLL. Aldredge, H. R. Armstrong, C. M. Ayers, A. L. Bailey, H. F.

The Young Men ' s Christian Association is an essential to a complete college life. No young man who fails to develop the spiritual part of his nature, along with the physical and mental, is a well-rounded man. The Y. M. C. A. at Southwestern has enjoyed a year of unprecedented pros- perity. The enrollment at the beginning of the session was much better than at any time in its history. Under the leadership of Mr. C. C. Young, who was Presi- dent for the first term, and Mr. L. B. Newberry for the second term, the Associa- tion has grown both in point of numbers and interest. The present enrollment is more than 125, and the attendance upon and the interest in the meetings have been splendid during the entire year. Through the kindness of the Faculty, the Y. M. C. A. has been given the southeast room on the third floor of the Fitting School building for its place of meeting. Our Association, acting in conjunction with the young ladies, sent a large delegation to the International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement at Nashville, Tenn., February 28th to March 6th. The following young men represented the Association: L. B. Newberry, Frank Holt, F. D. Caveness, H. W. Gillette, J. H. Serimshire, and J. E. King. Mission and Bible Study Classes have been special features in the Association work this year, classes in each of these departments being under the direction of students. The Young Men ' s Christian Association is doing its part in the work of making men in Southwestern. — W . Y. Swiizer. First Term C. C. Young, . W. Y. Switzer, Frank Holt, F. D. Caveness, H. W.

W. lix ' q 120 121 THE CRISIS. Hardy Martyns was, when in his Freshman year, a tall, handsome bov of sev- enteen. His dark-brown eyes and curly black hair made him almost irresistible to the girls. But they did not interest him until he met Annette. Annette — or, to give her proper title, Miss Bronson — was a Prep. She was a mischievous little minx — a regular heart-breaker. Hardy met her at a reception in the girls ' dormitory — that was the beginning. As he talked to her he felt his heart slipping away. He afterwards wondered that he did not fall upon his knees to her and cry, My heart is yours, all yours, for- ever! When he left that night, she wore his fraternity, society, and class pins. But what was more pleasant, to him, at least, he had her promise that she would answer his notes. When the notes began they were very formal; but they changed from My dear Miss Bronson ..... Yours truly, Hardy Martyns, and My dear Mr. Martyns Sincerely, Annette Bronson, to something like My precious girl ..... Your true lover, Hardy, and My own precious one .... Yours forever, Annette. Hardy, in his first letter, stated the fact that it was such great fun to outwit the Profs by writing. Annette merely agreed. The bodies of the later letters will not bear repetition; they were filled with things which only young lovers write and of which they are afterwards either ashamed, or think of with a throb of sadness and pain, remembering how sweet their first love was. At Christmas there came a pause in their letters, because both went home — and then Annette ' s paoa might care. The final parting ca ; in July; but both looked forward very eagerly to the next school year. Whei, however, in September, Hardy returned and Annette did not, he thought that he would never recover; but he did, though all through his college career he I joked back with pleasure and some pain on his flirtation with Annette. When he was graduated in his literary course, Hardy studied law. Finishing also in this, he went to Chicago, where he set up an ohice on La Salle Street. He soon gained a good practice, and everyone spoke of him as one of the most prom- inent lawyers in the city. Ten years had now passed since he had known An- nette, and he was a handsome, well-developed youne man. His large head was still covered with thick, curly black hair; his high, white forehead told of the brain that lay behind it ; his dark eyes, now merry, now sad, were the mirrors in which all of the emotions of his mind were shown; his nose was finelv cat ; his red lips, when parted, disclosed two rows of pure white teeth; his chin s ave an impression of strength; his face was clean shaven. He was much admired, as nearly every handsome man is. As he was in the smart set, he was asked t: everything. Many people wondered why he did not marry, for every mamma w ' .th marriageable daughters had her designs upon him. Hardy lived with his sister, Mrs. Martyns-Browne, who was a wealthy widow, several years older than he. One evening, as Hardy entered the house, his sister was entertaining a visitor in the small parlor. As he passed the door he caught a glimpse of the visitor, who was sitting with her back to him. She wore a costly 122 stylish dress of soft silk; she had a well-shaped head with a mass of chestnut hair done low on her neck in a figure eight. She wore one of those queer little round patent leather hats. One shapely-gloved hand rested on the back of her chair. Hardy did not know her, but he was charmed by her appearance — even by a back view. That evening at dinner, when the servants had been dismissed, Mrs. Martyns- Browne said : I had a most charming visitor this afternoon, Mrs. Ellington, the wife of that gray-haired Croesus, old man Ellington. He ' s sixty, at least. We received cards several weeks ago for their reception, which will be two weeks from to-day. So she was married ! All of Hardy ' s fancy for her ceased. And did we accept? , he asked, smilingly. Certainly. How is it, asked Hardy, that I have never seen her before? Her home is in Denver. Mr. Ellington went there and married her; it is said that she married him for his money. You know him, do you not? Well, he is one of my clients. Two weeks later Hardy and Mrs. Martyns-Browne rode in their motor car to Mrs. Ellington ' s. They were very late, for Mrs. Martyns-Browne coidd not bear to be less than an hour late. They were ushered into the reception hall. My brother, Mr. Martyns, Mrs. Ellington. Hardy glanced at his hostess. She was faultlessly and beautifully attired. Her imported gown of crepe de chine was sown over with pearls and fringed with real lace; as it was made decollete, one could see her beautiful white shoulders. The gown was supported by shoulder- straps of rubies ; a superb necklace of diamonds was around about her full throat ; upon her head she wore a gleaming tiara of diamonds. Every movement caused the jewels to glisten and throw out sparks of light, as if they were alive. This was her first appearance in the famous Ellington jewels, which did not, however, detract from the beauty of her face. But as she looked at Hardy, Mrs. Ellington turned pale, gasped a little, then muttered a greeting; Hardy bowed and moved to another part of the room. Sev- eral hours ' ater Mrs. Ellington came to him. Do you not wish to see our conservatory? Yes. indeed. They walked in silence to the glass house, where many couples had already assembled. Avoiding these, she led the way to a secluded corner; there she stopped. The place was very beautiful. A fountain threw up clear water, wh ' ch was caught in a concrete basin. Many gold fish darted through the water like streaks of flame. Ferns of many different species grew in it. Broad water lilies covered its surface. A circle of palms grew around it. Up to this time Mrs. Ellington had been strangely agitated, but now she regained her calmness, and smilingly turned to Hardy. Do you not know me, Mr. Martyns? I would never have forgotten vou so soon. But Hardy was looking blankly at her. He did not recognize her. My dear Hardy Yours, Annette, she repeated, smiling. Then Hardy knew the truth. Annette! Annette! he cried. The same! Annette! he cried again, as though not believing his eyes. Mrs. Ellington, she now corrected. How beautiful vou are! Perhaps that is the reason I did not know vou. 123 You are very complimentary; but I suppose I was a fright when you knew me. You know that I did not mean that. This is a different kind of beauty from that of my school-girl Annette, he said, with all of his former love coming back to him. But Mrs. Ellington quickly changed the conversation from this dangerous ground. The talk drifted to their college days. But suddenly Hardy asked Annette, . Mrs. Ellington, please, she interrupted. Annette, he went on, not heeding the interruption, why did you marry him? You are not happy. She turned very pale. Why, because I wanted to. Mr. Martyns. I am happy, she said defiantly. Let ' s go back to the house. When they entered the house, the) ' separated. Hardy did not talk with her again. Mrs. Martyns-Browne and he made their party call a few days later. Several times after this he called. Annette was never at home. They went to the same receptions, but, through her skillful management, Annette always suc- cessfully avoided him; and, though Hardy strove against it, this only increased his love. The moth will fly about the candle until it burns its wings. Thus it was with Hardy. One afternoon, about four months after Annette ' s reception, Hardy, after being told that Annette was not at home, insisted upon seeing her. Finally, she came down. She looked very pale and sick. Good afternoon, Mr. Martyns. Good afternoon, Mrs. Ellington. Why did you come? What a question! You are very civil! I came to see you. Why do you refuse to see me? Because I do not wish to. Go away, please. She looked very ill. Her face bore the signs of some inward trouble. Hardy sprang to her side. Annette, dear, what is the matter? It grieves me to see you so. Still she raised her hands in protest, Call me Mrs. Ellington, please. But Hardy could not restrain himself. Annette! he cried, I love you, 1 love you! Hush, hush ! How you torture me ! Do not tempt me ! It is wrong! Yes, dear, it is wrong. Forgive me for my weakness. This is the last time I shall come here. I am going now. Once he stooped down and kissed her; then he was gone. As the door closed, with a sob she fainted. Outside a man wandered blindly through the streets. Ever and anon he whispered, The crisis is past. It is well. — Hydcr E. Rollins. WFXCOME TO MAY. The trees in their garments of grandeur, The flowers in gorgeous array, Are waiting in all of their beauty To welcome the coming of May. The chirp of the birds which was doleful Is changed to a beautiful lay; And we, with the trees, flowers, and birds, Heartilv welcome vou, fair month of May. — T. A. TREASURES OF MEMORY. Long years ago, when we were young, Life was a pleasant dream, And fancv threw her flowers bright Upon sweet memory ' s stream, We thought upon the future, then So beautiful and fair, And sitting by the river side Built castles in the air. Oh, we were light and joyous then — Yea, happy as the day — The very sunbeams seemed to laugh To see us look so say. Don ' t you remember how you told Sweet tales of fairy love : How some brave knight would giants siay, His mistress to restore; How we, in pure innocence, Believed them to be true — You, from your childish, guiltless faith, I from my trust in you; And how I said, in years to come We ' 11 live beside that stream? And all the while the sunbeams laughed, vSo glorious was our dream. Long years have passed, and yet You might believe in fairies still, For smooth has been your stream in life As some low forest rill ; Your hopes of faith and truth and love Still o ' er your pathway shine, While sorrow ' s naives, within their depths, Have deeply buried mine. And while you, in your trusting heart, Your happiness retain, Mine has been wrecked amid the shoals Of riches and fame. — An Alethean. 125 THE GAMMA INSPECTOR. ' The trunks covered with a Navajo blanket and piled high with sofa pdlows, vvith Belle ' s little tea-table and a sudden accession of bric-a-brac, will make a charm- ing cozy corner, kill, run and bring your hand-painted comb-and-brush trav. And, Susie, your Kappa Sigma group over the desk will add nicely to my col- lection. Don ' t put my Phi pennant so near Margie ' s Beta one; the colors swear awfully! Blossom Gray accomplished the feat of articulating the foregoing orders in- telligibly and intelligently with a mouth full of tacks and hands and eyes busv with the draping of fresh Swiss curtains. To the uninitiated a revolution would have seemed to be going on in the cozy dormitory-room, which was rapidly being transformed, by the help of many willing hands, into a bower of borrowed beauty. Every room containing a Kappa Chi pennant and block had been rifled to add to the overcrowded condition of Blossom ' s boudoir, as they began to call it. And —strange to relate — a similar upheaval was in process in a Mu FLo room on the floor above. For once the rival sororities worked in unison, but with a safe distance between. At last the work of transformation seemed, complete, and tired Kappa Chis vanished to rest in other rooms — the bed, cozy corner, and chairs were too care- fully arranged in the boudoir to be disturbed. Three devoted sisters remained to do the final touches and admire the effect. It ' s just too sweet, and if she doesn ' t report favorably for us, she ' s a hard- hearted . Oh, come in! The door opened, and the pretty head of the youngest teacher appeared. Oh, Miss Moore! chorused the girls. Come in and pass judgment. Why, whatever has happened to you girls! Miss Moore looked properly puzzled and gratifyingly pleased with the effect, while Susie Westford volunteered explanations. Oh, haven ' t you heard? There ' s a Gamma visiting Miss Lucy Barnard in town, and she ' s going to bring her up for tea this evening, and we must make an impression on her. Yes, I know my pronouns are confusing; but, any way, we all donated our best things to the impression, and we ' re going to serve tea here for her. You see, she ' s supposed to be visiting Barnard ' s, but we think i- ' s an inspection-visit in disguise, and we ' ve longed for an inspector for ages. A favor- able report from her mav mean a charter for us from a real live national sororitv — from GAMMA! And the Mu Rhos? Miss Moore laughingly asked. Lillian Strong shrugged expressive shou 1 ders. Oh, they are to entertain her also, but you know they have no chance or Gamma, even if they apply a thousand years. And Kappa Chi ' s chances? FINE! Who could resist this room, and these girls, incidentally? Be- T 26 sides, we ' ve promise of outside help, and, as she ' s visiting Will Barnard ' s cousin, his influence may count. We have that, haven ' t we, Bloss? Blossom flushed, and the other girls looked conscious. So the debonaire young baseball captain is to be called into play? B - ware how you hurl our Beau Brummel at a stranger ' s head — even for Gamma ! Well, good luck to Kappa Chi! That afternoon at five a bevy of excited Kappa Chis fluttered about the cor- ridor, Blossom hav ng refused to unlock her immaculate apartment unt 1 the seu- t.nel, posted down stairs, should announce the arrival of the guests. A ' east, the young pledge, to whom that duty had been detailed, darted breathlessly up the stairs. They ' re coming! she gasped, and she ' s pretty! Blossom hastily unlocked the door, and three or four of the girls strove to ar- range themselves in natural and becoming positions. The rest of the sorority had been ordered to wait in a neighboring room and drop in casually in twos and threes — If you can be casual in your glad clothes on Saturday afternoon! Susie added. Miss Barnard and the Formidable One, who was pretty, approachable, and young, were ensconced in comfortable arm-chairs and fed tea and wafers whi e the the Kappi Chis dropped in. If the Formidab ' e One —otherwise Miss Be y Marston — saw anything pointed in such behavior she gave no sign, bu asked in- terested questions about their college life, and appeared charmingly appreciative of their rather obvious attentions. It was Lillian who first discovered a tiny shield gleaming beneath the coveted Gamma badge, and who cried delightedly: So you wear a Zeta pin, too, and we are sisters! Then Kappa Chi startled itself by the number of Zeta affiliations it scraped up. Zeta pennants, pictures, and such, were proudly exhibited and Zeta pins brought into prominence — even one or two hitherto worn underneath were furtively resurrected. At last Miss Barnard rose to go, remarking that Betty had been specially invited to meet the Mu Rhos upstairs. As they passed the dresser in going out, Miss Marston ' s attention was attracted to a photograph, framed beside it. I see Mr. Barnard has a Kappa Chi friend, she remarked. Oh, do you know him? The chorus was enthusiastic. He ' s the most popular man in college, and he ' s such a friend of ' our girls. ' Blossom wore his pin last year — ever so much like your Zeta pin. Yes, I know him. You see I ' m visiting his cousin and can ' t well avoid it. I ' ve heard .him speak of you girls as well as of the Mu Rhos. The Kappa Chis glanced at each other uneasily, and Lillian, by right of having discovered a bond of union in Miss Marston, spoke: He doesn ' t really care much for them, but they are crazy about him — want him for a ' Mu Rho man. ' Everybody here knows how much he likes Blossom. Then Miss Marston vanished over to the realms of Mu Rho, and, from the sounds wafted down, her reception was quite cordial. But Kappa Chi was confi- dent of the impression it had made, and rested on its laurels. She even noticed Will Barnard ' s picture in our room, sighed Susie, ecstat- ically. I tell you, girls, we ' 11 have him rush her for us, and Blossom and the rest of you wi ' l have to sacrifice your feelings for the sake of our future Na ' iona ' Chirler. ;?7 Just the thing! But perhaps it wasn ' t wise to tell her how much he thinks of Bloss to begin w th, only it was a chance to ' talk up, ' even ii ' we did have to ex- aggerate, Blossie, dear. The two weeks passed in a round of excitement for the two rival sororities — more bitter rivals than ever in their struggle for a charter from Gamma Beta. Miss Marston was feted by Kappa Chis and toasted by Mu Rhos — but such detai ' s are out of place in a short short-story. She was seen often with the handsome young baseball captain, while each sorority complacently assured itself that he was rushing for us — for Barnard was a diplomat as well as a baseball star and all- ' round good fellow. When the day came for Miss Marston to say good-bye, brilliant efforts were made by the respective crowds of prospective Gammas for a final impression. This time she went up to the Mu Rho sanctum first and came down to Kappa Chi tea with an armful of roses and flushed with flattering regrets at her departure. It has been such a pleasure to know you girls, and I can ' t thank you for the beautiful way you have entertained me, she said, as she sat in Blossom ' s cozy corner, still dedicated to Gamma hopes, and held hands with half-tearful Kappa Chis one at a time. When the good-byes were being said, Lill boldly ventured the hope that her report would be favorable for them. And then a light of comprehension dawned in Miss Marton ' s charming face, and she laughed till she cried. At last I see ! The Mu Rhos have been hinting such queer things, and every- body was too nice to me that when I first came I thought you must be rushing me as a prospective. My dear children, I am not an inspector for Gamma. I ' ve been out of college and abroad for a year, and I didn ' t even know you two crowds were applying for a Gamma Charter until yesterday, when Mr. Barnard mentioned it to me. But I ' ve got really attached to you girls, and I ' 11 do all I can for you. By the way, I ' ve a secret to tell you. It isn ' t to be announced till next month, but Will and I have been engaged since last summer and are to be married in October. It was a very dazed lot of girls whom Miss Marston left in the room adorned for her sole benefit. A few resorted to hysterics, but Susie ' s irrepressible sense of humor soon found speech, and she gasped between gales of merriment : Oh, lordy! And we thought he was rushing for us! It was a trial to be on inspection for two weeks; but Betty Marston ' s a trump, and if it means a step nearer a Gamma Charter, then we ' 11 forgive her for taking Will Barnard away. O Bloss, dear! How we did use his fondness for you! Anyway, here ' s three cheers for the ' Gamma Inspector. ' 128 THE VOICEFUL WEST. List to the song of the prairies, Song to the glad and free; America ' s voice in music Chimes out over the sea. Verbenas dancing in service To winds that are light and gay, Rolling the sea of blossom Into a colored spray. Far out over the meadow Where sky and flowers meet, Down to the babbling brookside, Bowing at th ' giant ' s feet, Flowers uncovered to sunshine Dance and frolic and play With a low sweet song of gladness, For ' t is the month of Mav. Geraniums, daisies, and bluebells, Nodding and tossing their heads, Play in wild gypsy fashion, Towering above the beds Of millions of tiny sword-blades — Arms of the verdant grass — Clashing and crashing in battle, Tangled in thick matted mass. The primrose, bowing in laughter, Kisses the daisy sweet; The verbena, swaying in sunshine, Kisses the primrose ' s feet; The butterfly sea-gull, in leisure, Dipping and taking a sip, Kisses each flower in succession And rises with honey-dewed lip ; Far away the distant hillside Forms a rugged shore, Toward which this ocean of blossom Rolls on forevermore ; Far up the rocky hill side, Dashing and bouncing in glee, Rises the white-blown mallows — Breakers on this happy sea. Come, ye lovers of beatrtv; Ye lovers of music, come. The beautiful musical flowers Strike all admirers dumb. Out from the noise of battle; Out from the city ' s hum-drum ■ Out from the stilted palace ; Out from the hovel, come; Come, ye bent in sorrow; Come, ye feeble and gray; Come, strong youth and fair maiden ; Come, happy children, and play. Join on the happy seashore, Whence hope and promise springs, The burthen of sorrow ' t wil Lghten For sunshine and gladness it brings; Ne ' er was hot spring so restor ' tive Of health and happiness. Ah, me! Come, bathe in these hea ' ing waters. Out in the open free; Come, ye kings and princes, See how our countrv is blest; Was e ' er people so rich as In this opulent West? Come, ye oppressed by monarch: Out in our fields so largj Broad valleys, plains, and p airies Are singing oppres ion ' s dirge. Le ' s join in the son r of th ; flowers ; Be happy, light-hearted alway; Welcome their coming and going; Welcome each passing dav. List to the song of the prairies, Song to the glad and free ; America ' s voice in music Chimes out over the sea. —A ' . D. Jones. 129 AS THE SPARROVS HOMEWARD FLY. Thirty minutes late, so the ticket agent said. He pulled out his watch and saw that it would yet be an hour and a half until train-time. So determined was he not to be left that he had come to the station an hour and a half before the train was due. The thought that he would be delayed thirty minutes in seeing her almost drove him to madness. He sat silently in the corner, with his watch in his hand, counting the seconds as they slowly dragged awav, each seeming longer than the preceding one. What could he do until then? Ah! he would think of her, and the joy that would be his on seeing her — and, perhaps, the time would pass more quickly. With that thought, he grew more cheerful. Yes, he would soon see her and be near her. Again he grew despondent, for each moment was keeping him from her side; and he vowed that when he should reach her he would never leave again. He felt that if he could once more fold her in his arms that no power could ever again force him away. Why hal he ever left her? He recalled distinctly the parting and with what unwillingness he had gone away. He was sure tha t she was sorry to ha re him go, because, as she stood in the door- way bidding him good-bye, he saw a tear, which she endeavored to conceal, steal gently from the corner of her eye, and he knew that it was only the beginning of the many that she had shed after he had gone. No one would ever know what he had suffered during those three weeks — what anguish had been his, or how he had yearned and longed for her; no one would ever know what passionate and bitter tears he had wept before the severe ordeal of their first separation had passed ; how many restless days and sleepless nights he had spent with but one constant thought, and that one of her. Now, that he was determined to go back, would she be glad to see him? But he knew she would, or else what meant that tear at his departure that had been such a comfort to him during his absence? Would there be any words of re- proach? Would she send him away again? He felt that she would not, and, should she attempt it, he would not go. Here his reverie was broken bv the sound of the train-whistle in the distance. As he boarded the cars there came to him such a feeling of joy that he had not known since he left her. Soon he would be with her, never to go away again. But how slowly the wheels seemed to be going over the track ! and he contrasted that motion with the rapidity with which they seemed to carry him away from her three weeks before. After what ap- peared to him an eternity, he finally reached his destination, and then his ecstacy knew no bounds. It seemed almost impossible for him to conceal his feelings, and he felt that everyone he passed must be able to perceive his joy. As her home came into view, he increased his pace into almost a run, but suddenly stopped with the thought, what if she were not at home? He knew, of courre, that she would not be looking for him, but it had never occurred to him before that she would not be there ready to receive him. These thoughts filled his m ' nd until he reached the gate, and, as he looked toward the house, what a vision greeted his eyes ! Yes, there she sat in her accustomed place, on the front porch behind the vines. He ran lightly up the walk, and as she arose to meet him he c 1 asoed her in a loving embrace, and excla ' med: Mother, I don ' t care if I nev°r have an education, if I have to leave you and go off to school to get it! 130 TOM, DICK, OR HARRY. BY MABEL TAYLOR. Well, Girlie, whose day ' to rush ' is to-day? Oh, no one ' s, of course. This conversation took plac2 in the corridor of a large university between two girls, who seemed to be the best of friends. The girl to whom the quest on was addressed was decidedly the prettier; she seemed to possess all of the womanly charms. The second girl, although not as pretty, had a very attractive face. That it just the way with you, Loraine; you try to make people think that you are not as popular as you really are. Have you promised to take either Tom ' s or Dick ' s pin yet? Who has a date with you to bring you up here to-night to practice for your recital? You mr.zi do your best to-morrow night; I know you will, though, said the second girl. As ou have not g ven me firm to answer any of your questions, laughinglv rephed the first girl, I will beghi at the first one: I have not promised anything about either of the pins. Tom is coming with me to-night. Do not worry, Hellen ; I will do my best to-morrow night. Poor Tom and Dick! said Hellen. Neither knows who holds the winning card. You are going driving with Dick to-morrow afternoon. Be sure to be good to him. Bless old Harry! Here he comes now. I will leave you in good com- pany. As Hellen went to her class she did worry a great deal. She knew that Tom ' s Psi pin was equally as handsome as Dick ' s Delta pin. Tom was a handsome, bright, jolly, wealthy, and all-round boy, but so was Dick. Whose pin would Loraine take? The Psis and the Deltas had both rushed Loraine equally. Would she take either of the pins? Harry would not go with her if she took either of them, although he was a Chi man. He was the equal of the other two boys in every particular. He would not offer his pin to Loraine until he found out what she was going to do about the others. Hellen did not know what to advise her fr ' end to ' do. As Tom left that night he again requested Loraine to give her final answer. He bad pleaded his cause manfully. ' ' I will give you my answer when you bring over that book to-morrow after- noon that you wished me to read. Tom went away after a few more words, feeling sure that at her recital he would see her wear the Psi pin. He was jubilant. As Dick was on his way to Loraine ' s recital the following night he felt as if he wer? not even touching the earth. He had been with her all the afternoon. Never ba ' l he liked her better. She had promised to give him her answer about his D a1 ta pin to-night. He knew it would be as he wished it. Loraine looked hand- r 3 somer than she had ever looked before. She played as if she were simplv plaving for her own enjoyment. Her playing could not have been better. There were some Psi and Delta boys sitting near the stage. Thev noticed that Loraine had on a new pin that glistened with gems. Whose pn was it? The Psi boys knew that Tom had been prevented from going to her home that afternoon. The Delta boys knew that Dick was to get his answer that night. Both crowds knew that the two boys were in the ante-room talking to her be- tween the pieces. After she had finished playing the boys went in to congratulate her on the grand success of her recital. Each one secretly hoped to find out whose pin she had on. Thev found her surrounded by friends. They were to be disappointed. She had thrown a light shawl around her shoulders. Should the Psi or Delta boys sav that thev were glad to have her as their sister? Tom and Dick were both there, laughing and talking with the others. Every time any of the boys tried to ask their brother whose pin it was, she would ask some question. The Psi and Delta boys refrained from their efforts in a few minutes, and went home. Harrv took Loraine home. This was to be the last time he would go with her, because she had put on one of the pins. Who had been the lucky one? He would have to leave in ten more minutes. How he hoped she would pull off her shawl, so that he could see which pin it was ! Only five more minutes. I am so warm! said Loraine, and threw off her shawl. Harrv tried to keep his eyes off that pin, but he could not. Presentlv Loraine began laughing. Have you seen my new pin? I think our new sororitv pins are ever so pretty. I received mine only this afternoon. So saving, she took off the new pin for him to see, and - — . WHICH IS BEST? Oh, Jack is such a naughty boy ! Just mean as he can be ; Eor when I turned my head away He stole a kiss from me. O Ethel, dear, don ' t cry, he said; You know I love you. Then, if you really love me, Jack, You would have stolen two. Then he only laughed and said That stolen fruit was best, And still continued teasing me, As if it were great jest. I do not mind you kissing me, I think that is great fun ; But, Jack, I really had to cry, For vou would n ' t take but one. I cried, I w ' .ll con ess it; The tears flowed thick and fast So then Jack felt quite sorry And my forgiv eness asked : So when I gave Jack one sweet kiss, I asked him, just in jest: ' Now, Jack, my dear, do you still think That stolen fruit is best? ' —T. II ' . .4. 112 AMBITION AND AMY. BY J. HALE EDWARDS. Hang the luck! said Ned, when he came into his room. What is the matter now, old lady? Why is your dandruff up? was the reply of his room-mate, Dick. Yours would be up, too, if you had been caught talking to a girl in the hall. ' ' Who caught you ? ' ' King Bob. Did he see you? Looked right into my eyes. If that is all, you need not suffer any uneasiness. If he even so much as looked into your eyes he did not know it. He knew he was looking at a nonentity. Leave off thinking of that. I brought you some mail. At the moment, Ned did not remember what a nonentity was, but he was willing to be anything, just so the young lady escaped undemerited. As he turned to the table he saw the mail — yes, mail. I say, old fellow, he said, looking to- ward Dick, this must be in celebration of my birthday. You know I am twenty- two to-day. And here are four letters — one from mother, one from a friend, one from Mississippi, and one from — Amy. Amy? Who is that? She is new to me. I thought I knew about all your friends, interrupted Dick. Never mind about her. Let me see first what they all have to say. Dick was restless until he had finished them. He did not know whether Ned had just learned of a bust in last week ' s final, or whether he had received bad news from home, or whether Amy was agitating his mind. However, he was in- clined towards the first, since he came in with such a serious face. Determined to satisfy his curiosity, he said: Now, I want to know what is the matter. Is it bad news from home, a ' bust, ' or did she say ' No ' ? Well, your last question covers the ground, but I don ' t mean to say that I proposed or that she refused. But I ' 11 tell you, Dick, this girl-subject is weighing on my mind. Here it is: I am twenty-two; in ten more weeks I take a degree. If I loved any one of these girls it would be a different thing — but I don ' t; and, besides, I do not want to; it would interfere with my ambition. Never mind about your ambition. I want to know what was in that letter. If that is all you want, you may be satisfied. Mother told about the dinner she gave last Sunday, when the minister and his family were there. Laura told about her reception, given in honor of a cousin. The Mississippi friend sent the best greetings possible for another birthday and the future, and — Amy ! That ' s the one I am interested in, spoke up Dick. Shoot, you needn ' t be. She only said she hoped I was in good health, able to do my work, and that I would come out with flying colors Commencement — as she knew I would; also, she would be glad to see me home again. Yes, that is not much, but it is subtle and has a meaning to you — that is what I want to know. If you can ' t tell me about it, you can tell me about your ambition you mentioned a while ago. 33 I suppose I can tell you about this in connection with my ambition. There are not only these three girls, but there is one in the dormitory. Ha! ha! broke in Dick. Yes, I see the reason for that serious face now. Tell me about her. Did she fix you? Not as much as you might think. How does this strike you? Ned drew out his watch, in the casing of which was a miniature ' photo of the dormitory girl. ' ' By Jove ! When did you get that ? ' ' Just a while ago; before I was caught. I do not see why you should have such a serious face now, Ned, old boy. The main reason, as I have said before, and will show you pretty soon, is 1liat girls and ' my ambition do not harmonize, unless I find the right one. Amy fills the requirements in being ' accomplished, gentle, affectionate, and not stupid. ' But I am not inclined to believe in any such stuff. I agree with the philosopher who said there was only one disparity in marriage and that was unsuitabilitv of mind and purpose. I am going to tell you my ambition next, and you can then better understand my theories and position., ' ' In the first place, I have always been inclined towards railroading, and, since I have understood what it means, I expect to be a financier in the railroad business. I am going to leave for St. Louis as soon as Commencement is over. Of course, I am going via home to bid my folks and friends adieu. I have a position already with one of the leading railroad systems in the United States. When I am thirty-five I expect to be at the head of that system, or another one just as great. You can readily see that, with such an ambition, I haven ' t time for anything, save to foster it. Yet, this dormitory girl doesn ' t only come up to the requirements, but she has an inheritance not to be despised. What do you think about my ambi- tion ? Tell me yours ? ' ' I think it is a great one, and, in many respects, commendable. Although you are correct in that ambition and girls do not harmonize, yet I think you have the mistaken idea in this case. I fail to see the argument. For instance, I intend to leave for Chicago as soon as I am through here, where I expect to take a doctor- ate in philosophy in three years ; yet I do not expect to leave my girl behind ; she is going along to aid me. Neither she nor I have any inheritance. It looks to me as though that dormitory girl would be an aid to you in reaching that goal, with the dowry which she possesses. This was a new idea to Ned, but he did not own it to Dick. He did not study- as faithfully that night on account of the presence of that new idea. The ten weeks passed rapidlv, while the days passed slowly. This may be accounted for on the ground that Ned had become, to some extent, similar to some of the other boys. He had that dormitorv girl ' s schedule posted in his brain; he loitered in the halls. You know the rest. Commencement came; his colors did fly. He was victorious in the final oratorical contest. Dick came out with magna cum laiiilc. August came, too. Dick: and h s wife had been settled in their new quarters in Chicago a week. They had moved early, in celebration of their honeymoon. On this special Saturdav afternoon, when we see them, they were discussing and speculating about Ned, his ambition, and her inheritance. In came the mail. One envelope, Dick thought, he recognized, as from Ned, yet it was stamped at his home town, when he expected one from him to be marked St. Louis. It was opened first; it was so short we shall quote: Dear Old Lady, — When you come back to Texas, you must come to see how harmoniously mv Ambition and Amy live in the same cottage. Ned. 134 AN EXTRACT FROM THE DIARY OF A COLLEGE BOY. Monday. — I went off with my Love last night. Tuesday. — Called on Miss again. If that fellow of her ' s in A hadn ' t urged her so, I am sure that I could win out. Just let him stay away for a month or more, and I will have my way. Wednesday. — Went for a horseback ride. I feel rather done up ; but am sure she was impressed with my equestrian accomplishments, although I did get jolted quite a great deal. However, it was due entirely to the rough animal which I was riding. Thursday. — Biology day for her at the college, and, just to think, she caught me talking to an annex girl in the hall. Alas! I fear it will cost me several pounds of Huyler ' s to make good. ' T is worth it though, by Jove ! Friday. — Just when I thought that I was ready to declare myself I met Her — you ask whom I mean by Her? Why, who could it be but B . She was at the office, and what do you think ! She was reading a letter from some durn place in the North — and she smiled so sweetly : Why, hello, Mr. B . Just had a letter from S. G , and he says that he is coming down to see me. Isn ' t that nice? Of course, I had to agree, but at the same time I felt a heavy weight down in my boots, and I realized that there lay my heart. Saturday. — Biology II. for Miss B again. She won ' t find me talking to an annex girl this time. Dear me! That fellow is always butting in. Now, why couldn ' t he wait until after school to put in his mouth? Sunday. — Went to church to-night with L — ■■ Oh, she looked ravishingly beautiful ! Am dead over heels in love with her. Three Weeks Later. — Dear little book! Such a long time since I confided in you. I ' 11 promise not to be so long again, if these pesky town cows will let me alone. Now, about two weeks ago I had prepared to declare myself on Sunday night. I kept repeating ' my little spiel to myself all the way to Her house. The night was dark and rather stormy, and I could not distinguish any object clearly ahead of me. Just as I turned the corner at the Chili Stand I came to a halt — not pre- meditated, however. I saw what I at first thought to be H. R. Aldredge, and I charged upon him — much to my sorrow. It proved to be a popular nuisance, the town cow, and I was hastily precipitated, head first, into the mud. Of course, I could not go in that fix, so I went home for repairs — I needed them sadly. My clothes ware torn, and I had a black eye and a half nose gone. After considering, I decided to call her up on the telephone and beg her to excuse me, because I feared that I could not make an impression in my battered condition. She let me off, but since she has treated me a trifle coolly. Oh, the perfidy of womankind ! ' T was all for her, too 135 Now there is another rival in the field. Will I ever be successful? To-day is her music day. I must watch for her at she passes the college, and walk to the annex with her. She always looks so charming in that green and pink hat. Green is so becoming to her, but what isn ' t? Mrs. McKennon has noticed my melancholia lately. I wonder if she guesses the real cause of it? I cannot be so frivolous and gay as I formerly was, when there is such an important crisis about to be reached. The rain on Monday night postponed yet another date. Ah, woe is me f But I ' m determined to win out yet. With the two most important rivals away, and myself growing more brainy and winning laurels every day, I see no reason why I should not be successful, if that blanketv, blank cow will stay out of the nice walk. AT TWILIGHT HOUR. Far in the west Sinks the sun ; And calmly steals the night Upon its disappearing wake, And leaves the world and me to rest. The day is done, With all its joys, Its cares and many trials ; . And all have left their mark Upon my life, as I have lost or won. Bach day, one mile Towards the goal ; Reached at life ' s journey ' s end; And may I at each mile-post find Not a condemning frown, but an approving smile. Until the goal, Though it may be Some thousands miles away, Will welcome me, long wandering, But not lost, into its glorious fold. — T. A. B. 136 HAUNTED. BY J. C. WILSON. In the roseate blush of Dawn, On the dew- wet flowerv lawn, Oft I see Visions of a maiden ' s face, With the fairest form and grace, Come to me. In the floodlight of the day, Wheresoe ' er my steps may stray, E ' en in pain, Do I seek to find a spot Where her image haunts me not, Yet in vain ! In the twilight ' s deepening gloom, Shut within my darken ' d room, Even there Looks into my hungry heart, Making all its longing start, Face so fair ! Lost in slumber ' s mystic maize, Treading spirit-haunted ways, In my dreams We are walking hand in hand In a fair, enchanted land Bv its streams ! Oh, the pain and yet the bliss Of a passion such as this To my heart ! Oft I sigh for liberty, Then, for fear it granted be, How I start ! Hush, my heart, thy pinings sorf Keep thy secrets evermore Locked within ! Let no taint or blush of shame Dim the lustre of thy name — Do no sin ! ' 37 THE NIGHT BEFORE ' And to-morrow was to be her wedding day ! The young woman, with her hair streaming over her shoulders and a light wrap thrown around her, was in her own little room for the last night. She had denied herself to any of her friends, even to her maid of honor, who had been her companion since Pinafore days. In her own little room, with which so many memories dear to her heart were connected, she wished to be alone for the last few hours of her maidenhood. It was after twelve, and the other members of the wedding party, except the brides ' -maids, who were with her in her home, had gone to their homes. There had been a rehearsal and much merriment, but, in spite of it all, the girl who was to be married felt depressed, and found it a task to appear as cheerful as the others. She was tired; she wanted quiet — a little time to rest and think. After kissing her mother good-night, she spoke lightly to all the girls, and ran upstairs to her room. She closed the door, turned the key, then went quietly about her preparations. She surveyed the dear little room with its charming apartments, so suggestive of her happy young life — pictures, books, pennants, college flags, tennis rackets, souvenirs of all kinds, bric-a-brac, picked up in her travels. She gazed around her for a few moments, then, with a melancholy smile, she walked over and put more fuel on the fire, then turned out the lights. This done, she took up a quaint sandalwood box, and seated herself on a great bearskin before the fire, which had flared up and now sent a warm soft glow over the cozy apartment. Dreamily, she opened the box, and a feeling of sadness came over her as she thought of its contents. A packet of old letters lay on top. From Dick, she murmured, as she slowly untied the faded ribbon. His last year at Yale. We were such good friends. I hope the pretty little blonde girl he married makes him as happy as he used to think I would. She laid them one by one on the fire, and each in turn flared up for a moment and died away. A bunch of withered and faded violets came next. My coming-out party. How happy I was when his violets came, and how glad he was that I wore them! As she said this she put them on the ashes of the letters. She took up a photograph. Dear little old rascally ' Billy, ' she said. He was such a flirt and such a poor student. How did he ever get his degree, I won- der? How well I remember the first time I ever met him — at the New Year ' s hop. He was a splendid dancer. Such a long time ago, it seems. And now ' Billy, ' an army officer in the Philippines. Thoughtfully she laid it on the coals and saw it burn, redden, and grow white. She sat thus a long time, pondering before looking into the box again. The football game between Yale and Harvard, when good old blundering 138 Bob made his star play, and said it was all because of my watching him. She sighed and laid a knot of scarlet ribbon in the grate. Thus she lifted out, one after the other, the little trinkets of her happy girl- hood, till only a few remained. A dance programme held her attention next. One, two, three, four, five, six, she counted off. We sat most of them out in the conservatory. It was so cool and inviting there — and just the place to exchange confidences. I didjike him, and after all, perhaps, I would have been happy had I accepted him. p Taking up a fan next, she opened it, and heard the gauzy material tear[and fall apart. Attached to the handle was a card; she read it. Poor little fan! she murmured. But, dear me! Why should I weep over it? He has forgotten it all, I ' m sure. It shared the fate of the other things. Lastly, she took out a small gold locket and opened it. It contained the picture of a little boy. She kissed it and clasped the chain around her neck. She threw back her hair and exclaimed, Why should I feel melancholy? He is worth them all. I have loved him since he wore kilts, and, I ' m sure, I never did intend to marry anyone else.

O Spring! the sweetest season of the year, When life and light and everything is dear; When fiery love fills every human breast, And all of Nature seems to lie at rest ; When flowers all bloom and birds all sing, We think of thee, O gentle Spring ! When fields are green and fragrant flowers are bright, And woods are filled with a queer, yet lovely light ; When Nature clothes her children in their neatest ; When life is happiness and love is sweetest ; When this whole earth is a merry ring, We feel ' t is time at last for Spring. When the twilights bright are sweet and full of song ; When happy days can never be too long ; When joy beams bright from every person ' s face, And lovers nightly have their trysting- place; When balmy breezes thou dost bring, We know that thou art here, sweet Sprine. 139 LULLABY TO A HEART-CRY. BY J. C. WILSON Cease thy sighing, hungry heart, Lest some unkind Spirit ' s ear Of thy longings hear a part And guess all thy hope and fear. Hide the pain that ' s sweet to thee, Tell it not by sign nor word ; vSpirits blend in mystery When no syllable is heard. Dream in secret all thv dreams, Tell them not till life is done ; Then, perhaps, in Spirit realms Thou canst sing them all alone. In the closet of the soul Bow before thine Idol ' s shrine, And, where clouds of incense roll, Veil thy homage, heart of mine. MY CASTLE IN THE AIR. !Y ANNIE O. TAYLOR. Did you ever, my cnildren, build castles in the air, Castles of gold and ruby, castles of humble stone, Built in the twilight gloaming, the gleam of moonlight fair, When forth from his shadowy cloud-home creeps the great Bear, And the beautiful, beaming Venus lets down her golden hair? Then you seem wrapt in silence, sitting apart and ' lone. Often thus in still night, when I drank the moonlight ' s wine, I would sit with hands infolded, thinking of future time ; My brain o ' erflowing with fancies in the pale moon ' s glamorous shine, Building my castle slowly, with longing rich and fine; No aid of earthly building, I gave no outward sign. Silently rose my castle, untouched by brick or lime. T 4 r Ever a touch to be added, ever a curtain or light; Nor is then completed, nor shall be through all my life; Building ever, my children, till I pass into deathly night; Toiling wearily onward till it passes from my sight, At what was begun in play and the strength of youthful might And shall be ended in age, an age with memories rife. First only a butterfly structure, built by childish hands, Gay in color and tint, a thing all rich and bright ; Picture-hung and painted, marbled with golden bands; Happy fancies falling upon life-glowing sands. At last, in death ' s dark portals, looking to other lands, I pray, all perfect, my castle may meet my Master ' s sight. MY VISION. BY ARTHUR AVERS. While the moon is brightlv shining In the vault of heaven abov I sit here in contemplation, Dreaming of my distant Love. While I peer into the shadows, Which the silvery rays surround, Many forms rise up before me, Standing forth without a sound. But, pre-eminent among them, There is one who is to me More than all the hosts of flowers To the honey-gathering bee. And about her is a radiance, Coming from some unseen place, Which shows forth in living beauty All the glorv of her face. vSo to thee, my Life, my Sweetheart, Now I pledge my love to thee, Just to do as thou wilt with it — Keep, or send it back to me. As the midnight hour approaches, And the moon refuses light, I will bid to thee, my Sweetheart, An affectionate good-night. 14.1 YES OR NO? BY T. A. W. When the father and the mother Were asleep upstairs so sound ; When the cold north wind was blowing ; When the snow was on the ground; When the fire was brightly burning; When the light was turned down low; Did you ever pop the question? Did she answer, Yes or No? Did you ever sit beside her On a moonlight night in June, When the gentle breeze was laden With the flowers ' sweet perfume? Did you ever hold her dainty hand, And on her brow a kiss bestow? And when you popped the question Was her answer, Yes or No? Did you ever have an aching heart Keep you awake at night ? Did you lay in thought and study ' Neath the moonbeam ' s golden light? Did you arise next morning With the feeling of unrest? Did you plan just how to win her, How to get the answer, Yes? Oh, never be disheart ened! Keep happy, bright, and gay, For time will bring things unforeseen To brighten your dark way; And never let a woman ' s love Hold you in magic spell, And never say you could not love Another one as well. 142 43 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

C. Amos, a native Ger- man, and a very capable instructor, who is thoroughly enthusiastic over his work, cheerfully offering his services to assist the students of his department in any way possible. His suggestion that the students organize a German Club for the pur- pose of acquiring greater efficiency in speaking the German language, was readily accepted. The German Conversation Club was organized November 4, 1905, with a membership of forty-one. Among those enrolled may be found the names of two of the Faculty, Professors M. C. Amos and S. H. Moore, nine members of the Senior Class, and a number of other prominent students. The Club began work in the usual business-like manner, drawing up a Con- stitution and electing officers. The proceedings are carried on entirely in Ger- man, and the Censor Morum is constantly on duty to fine anyone speaking an English word. The Club meets once a week, and every two weeks a regular programme is rendered, consisting of debates, orations, readings, and music. One obstacle in our road to success is, that we are compelled to use one of the lecture-rooms for our meetings, as there is no other available room. We hope to have a nicely furnished hall next year, and are working with this end in view. In addition to the work done in the Club, literature is being collected to fit up a German alcove in the Library. Over three hundred and fifty volumes have been purchased this year, and there is still a surplus of 700 with which to buy books. We have received in contributions recently aver 1,000 for the Library, and we hope, in the near future, to increase this amount to 2,000. A large part of that sum was donated by the German Mission Conference ; but Professor Amos and the students of the several German Classes have contributed most liberally to this worthy cause. • We are striving to become efficient in the German language and to be a credit to S. W. U. Our Motto is, Ubung macht den Meiser. — Lucile Campbell. 163 THE GERMAN CLUB. OFFICERS. H. A. Hudspeth, O. B. Black, . Cornelia Wyse, LucilE Campbell, R. Gammenthaler, President.

Dr. Allen is so very queer, For when he annonnced that a party was near, The boys, being delighted Because they were invited, At once set up a hearty cheer. This put the Doctor into a flurry, And at their glee seemed to worry.

I fell asleep, and I, in my dreams, transversed a great waste. And behold I came to the River Styx, and thereon was Charon, and he went to and fro many times, yet few were those whom he carried across. I spake unto him thus: How is this come to pass? It is told in the world from which I come that the great multitudes who departed thence came hither, and by thy ferry reached the spirit world. And Charon looked upon me and spake, saying: Knowest thou of a place in that world called Southwestern University? I said, I do. And Charon spake again : Knowest thou also a man of that place who is of great stature and corpulence, and who speaks continually with artful words of a place called Dor- mitory? And I felt in my pocket and answered sadly, Him I know and of the artfulness of his speech also. And then Charon waxed warm and spake, saying: Behold, he passed this way, and with him was a small man with a beard; the same, I believe, was a magician, for he spake at all times of a spirit which he called College Spirit. Now, these two came down together to the ferry, and, beholding the multitude assembled, said: ' Behold, here are many people and much money, ' for each of the multitude had the coin to which I am entitled as ferryman. The corpulent one spake on, and said: ' Let us now take up a collection. ' And he spake wondrously with eloquence and pathos and at times with the kind of speech ca ' led hurrahing, and many of the multitude gave and I also. And then the small man — he of the beard — spake, talking of his spirit which he called college and of a thing called Athletics, and the rest of the multitude gave and I also. And while they spake there came another of great height and of small breadth, and he looked as if just arisen from slumber. And on the outskirts of 184 the multitude afar off there arose a murmur, and that which they uttered was,. ' Sleepy. ' And the two that spake and he whom the multitude called ' Sleepy, ' came down to the waterside, after putting the coin of the multitude in a bag, which was guarded by two other spirits, one of a sable hue and one very slight and fair, who continually made notes on a paper. And when they were come, the three together, down to the waterside, he whom they named ' Sleepy ' spake and said: ' I have been above, and when I would have entered, he that guarded the gate said, What is this that thou would do? and I answered, Examine into my knowledge straightway, for I am worthy, so that I may enter. But he at the gate answered and said, This may in no wise be so. It may be that you have of late done many good works — ' crammed ' on goodness, ' so to speak ' ; therefore it would be obviously unjust to admit you here among those who have done good works for long periods; therefore, go below, and serve your period of probation. Now, said Charon, after he, called ' Sleepy, ' had thus spoken to the multi- tude, he spake unto me again, saying, ' What are the entrance requirements of this place of shades? ' And I, Charon, answered and said, ' Of these things I know not. He who would enter here must pay his fee and be carried over. ' Then spake the slumberer scornfully, saying, ' This is a place of Preps ; let us go hence. No entrance requirements to Hades ! The idea! ' Then spake again he of great stature, and said : ' Behold, it came to pass, at the place called Georgetown, in the temple called Methodist, I had a vision, and prophesied. Let us take the coin of the multitude and go forth and build i ccord- ing to the prophecy which I uttered. ' And they departed hence, and the multi- tude followed. And Charon pointed out the way and I went therein. As I journeyed, it came to pass that a concourse of spirits passed me, and two were behind the others and wore strange symbols upon their vest pockets, a nd I spake with them, and one spake, saying: We are of the tribe of ' Frat ' of the people of the San Jacks, and have fled thence, because of the might of the barbarrans. And we journeyed on together, and came to a track, on which passed and repassed great cars. And I spake unto the conductor of one of these, saying: What is this way and whither goest it? And he said: It is the line of the Physo-Parallism, owned and op- erated by one ' Doc ' and leads to the place of the vision prophesied by him of great stature and corpulence. And when I asked him again, saving, Bv what are these great cars operated? he answered and spake thus, Bv Hot Air. Then I paid the fare, and went. Once upon a Sabbath mornin ' , When the day-dawn was a-bornin ' , And the poor old night was dyin ' in the mists along the shore ; While I lay in bed a-sprawlin ' , Suddenly I heard a bawlin ' , Like Beelzebub a-callin ' , Callin ' at my chamber door; And I flung my bootjack at ' im, at that donkey at my door. May I hear him nevermore ! «S FACULTY MEETING, Time: Tuesday, 4 to 6:30 p. m. Place: Dr. Hver ' s Office. DRAMATIS PERSONS. Dr. Hyer (gazing steadfastly at the floor). Dr. Allen.

Prof. Amos (reviewing British Museum Catalogue in search of new German Parallel). Prof. Vaden (abstractedly consulting a Hinds Noble edition of Virgil). Prof. Cody (seated at a table, teaching Professor Barcus to play Solitaire). Prof . Tinsley (ceases drumming on the window-sill with his pencil and sud- denly exclaims): Although Prof. Young is absent, I know I have his hearty cooperation in the matter which I wish to bring up this afternoon (rising) . Gen- tlemen, something must be done to arouse more college spirit in our boys. I would suggest that this may only be brought about by closer association of Fac- ulty and student, and to accomplish this result I suggest the organization of a Faculty ball team, games to be scheduled every Mondav afternoon. In this way we may come in closer contact with the student-bodv 186 Prof. Moore (waking up suddenly x : ' ' No, no; the exercise is somewhat too violent. Let ' s add our talent to the Glee Club. Prof. Pegues: I favor Prof. Moore ' s suggestion, as I believe that the work in the Glee Club will more highly develop our romantic tendencies and love for the beautiful. Dr. Hyer: Gentlemen, I rather favor the ball team movement, for I have developed a formula by which a man may make a ' home run ' without passing •over third base. Dr. Allen: I also favor the ball team suggestion, as I was considered quite an athlete in my college days, and, as a mask is rather becoming to me, I speak for the place of catcher. Prof. Cody: As for me, I am heartily in favor of the organization of the ball team, and think that you will plainly see I am competent to occupy the pitcher ' s place, for I am able, as I can demonstrate by drawing a graph of its parabola, to throw a ball which will describe two convex curves. Prof. Moore (overwhelmed with all this argument): I withdraw mv sug- gestion about the Glee Club and agree to the ball team, provided I am allowed to play ' short stop. ' (Aside:) I ' ve noticed that one may sit down and catch all the balls coming to ' short stop. ' Prof. Tinsley: Gentlemen, not only on account of Dr. Hyer ' s position, but also on account of the ' home-run ' stunt, I am satisfied he . Enter John R. Nelson (hair dishevelled, a telegram in hand, exclaiming) : Gentlemen, the good work goes on. Listen to this: ' To John R. Nelson, D.D., Georgetown, Texas. ' Will be delighted to donate one mouse trap for use in new dormitorv. May your vision come true. ' Yours in the work, Andrew Carnegie. ' After instructing the Treasurer to pay the C. O. D. charges on the telegram and telegraphing one of thanks to the donor of the gift, the Faculty adjourned going on their homeward way greatly encouraged. — Wetwo. Pluto, our worthy Professor of Greek, Is dignified, and, withal, quite meek. We ' re sad to say, We ' re afraid some day That the top of his head will be sleek. There ' s the funniest man they call Sleepy, Who goes around, Oh, so creepy ! But if you flunk in his classes And fail to make passes, It makes you feel kinder weepy. Prof. Cody ' s jokes have almost worn out, And without them he ' s hardly able to get about, So send him some more — At least three or four, And his pupils will thank you, no doubt. 187 ALPHABET.

Their value has never been reckoned, but They are said to be worth more than gold. Through years gone by they ' ve been lifted on high By poet, author, and bard; And, tho ' sometimes they must tread upon thorns, Their lot isn ' t so very hard ; For thev ' ve evoluted above the Prep, And have the exquisite pleasure (?) Of taking History, English, and Greek, And anything else for good measure. They are given also the chance to go To the Annex, once in a while, And to stand exams which don ' t bring good grades, But always produce a broad smile. So lift up your glass, drink long and deep To the final unequaled success, Of the budding alumni of S. W. U., All those in the Freshman Class. WANTS OF SOU ' WESTER SUBSCRIBERS.

Come al l you youths adventurous, And I ' 11 relate something to you Of a wondrous place called Annex In the old S. W. U. There are maidens in a castle, As in some old-time fairy tale, But the ample form that guards then. Wears no ancient coat of mail. This dragon is most curious — Wears glasses all the while, But if you smile upon the Annex He can see you for a mile. But to describe these Annex maidens My lyre is out of tune ; Might as well try to sing the beauties Of the glorious harvest moon. The boys all stand and wonder, And greatly envy, too, Their skill in cutting classes, And evading the strictest rule. They are skilled at riding ponies — Vulgarly dubbed ' ' Jacks ' ' — And in working Mathematics And some Profs, too, in fact. They chat in the Library, And flirt upon the stair And wear their hated uniforms With a trulv regal air. They smile upon us at receptions, And are all that heart could wish ; But Oh ! they roast us afterwards Across a chafing-dish. They can make a fine welch rarebit, When a box is smuggled through. Oh, ' t is truly wonderfid The things the Annex do. W3 UBRAR1: 3 souTHWisTias m A GRAD PARTY. Although this production has for its subject A Grad Party, the real purpose of the writer is to portray the freakish natures and extremely dangerous characters of two Seniors of the masculine gender. How either so bumfuddled the Fac- ulty into allowing them to attend our honorable institution, is a mystery in- deed. However, after tracing up their past records, it is natural to conclude that our beloved instructors were intimidated by the piercing eyes of one, while the tender, innocent, feminine appearance of the other melted their hearts from pure pity. But they are with us now, and we must be careful to avoid dispute with them, else endanger our lives, or be censured for teasing the baby. Now, of course, it would not be right to mention the names of these two celebrities, but, in order to distinguish them, we will call the [dangerous one by the ncm de plume Cutie Kilie, the Annex Pest, and L the little one rightly deserves the title of Willie Boy, Mamma ' s Little Gem. There are some boys and girls here who endeavor to keep in the social swim by having what they call Grad Parties. They call themselves Grads, and seem to think it their duty to butt in on all occasions, and offer such advice, or make such suggestions, as they deem wise. To an under-classman it is extremely dis- gusting to have some one present who persists in telling how to do the right thing at the proper time. One day, during the month of last November, the Class of ' 06 mockingly whispered to the Freshies and Sophs that another 42 party would be pulled off during the forepart of the night, and several of the less discreet Seniors made statements that no hazing or rinding would be tolerated. When the hour set for the beginning of the entertainment was approaching, flitting shadows seemed to be silently hovering around the places where the boast- ful Seniors were making elaborate preparations to go out with the fair sex. A keen ear might have occasionally heard a muffled whistle or a cat-call, which was usually followed by a deep voice to the tune of Another Grad, Boys. Then the unfortunate victim would be pounced upon and marched away to the campus, there to undergo a series of dancing, singing, and rinding. This rinding was manipulated by the strenuous flapping of nicely proportioned pine paddles, which seemed to beat a tattoo on certain peculiar parts of the human make-up. Then — humiliated, crestfallen, and rinded — the once haughty Grads were ordered by their tormentors to retire at double-quick time. All (the underclass- men) seemed to be having a large evening and enjoying themselves immensely, until it occurred to some one that Kilie and the infant had been! overlooked in the fun. Immediately a squad of braves was Retailed to go to the huts of these freaks and gently persuade them that their presence was necessary to complete the celebration. But Kilie and Willie had anticipated just such a visit, and when they discov- ered thev were surrounded by a bunch of the human species that means business, their cute smiles and pleasing facial expressions died down and were replaced by vexation and wrath. It was then that the boy from Louisiana — a veritable 54 smasher of female hearts — lost his head and played the part of the four-legged animal with long ears and a characteristic bray. So eager was he to get to the Annex that he determined to show the Texas lads, on the outside in waiting, that he had a mean disposition. Guess what he did? Did he go out and offer to take his dose like a man, and still retain the good-will of the underclassmen? Did he conclude that it was better to humor his classmates than to be branded a quitter? No — not the cute boy from the thickets of Louisiana ; he beeps big man; be killie somebody. He went and got out an old family relic — a tool probably used by grandpa during the Revolution — a real curiosity — and old cap-and-ball scatter- gun. With a look of murder in his eves, he raised the dear old relic, and, having aimed at the group outside, he pulled the trigger, and and the crowd laugh ed. It is useless to go further, since all who have beard about the above episode know that he is a joke and that soon he and his massive fire-pr ' ece will fall a prey to the squirrels. Then there ' s little Willie. How absurdlv foolish to allow the little fellow to venture out alone in the dark. It has been intimated that he intended to take a girl out to the party. But surely that is onlv a rumor, since girls are not very fond of boy babies — especially at 42 parties. Neverthe ' ess, Willie Bey had his mind made up to go. and so, rattle in hand, he started out. The little fellow had devised quite an ingenious method for baffling those who wanted bis rind. ' , When they pounced him he pulled a long bottle from his hip pocket, and, delib- erately taking out the stopper, he threw the contents of th - bottle in the eyes of the enemy, and then tore off at full speed. The child h doubtless read that ammonia would affect the eyes, and his busy little mind grasj ed the idea that thus he could escape, while the pursuers were blind. But Willie Boy was captured and spanked — with the heavy pine paddles. Now, since we have in a measure exposed a few traits of our two most peculiar specimens who have completed their stav at Southwestern, we draw the following conclusions : Beware of cute young fellows from Louisiana — they are dangerous. Don ' t be deceived by innocent looks and a femin ' ne appearance — you may get your eyes full of ammonia. May Kibe and little gun land safely again amidst the crocodiles of Louisiana, And may bouncing little Will ' e grow as big and as wise as our statesman, Mark Hanna. MESS HALL BLESSING. Lord, if Thou wouldst keep us to Thee true, Send us some steak that we can chew. We like rich cream and coffee long, But not the butter quite so strong. i f 5 A GRAD ' S LAMENT. In the first year Prep, in a nebulous way, I planned the outline of my grad essay. But the troublous exams ploughed up my path, And the fiery flame of a Freshman ' s wrath Has caused my mind so troubled to be That I forgot ray grad essay entirely. Till the voice of inexorable destiny, In the mandate proclaimed by the Faculty, Showed the duty I owed this mighty Nation Of placing in its annals my grad oration. I sought for subjects far and wide — Japan ' s Great Future, England ' s Pride ; But some of the subjects had been taken before And others hadn ' t, which troubled me more. I thought of Russia ' s Declining Day, And sought the Library straight away, But others had there before me been, And X was the only reference book in; So I sat down to write, with my head in a whirl, Of Xanthippes ' Influence on the Civilized World. AN ODE TO A LITERAL TRANSLATION. How clear to my mind is my work for to-morrow, As my literal translation reveals it to view: The case-forms, the gender, the puzzling idioms, and all those things that I ' m asked that no man ever knew ; The language of Horace, the concise words of C.Tsar, and Virgil ' s long tales of heroes that fell, Would, in my mind, confuse wholly with Pliny and Ovid, did not this painstaking author translate them so well. This little brown volume I hail as a treasure, And no one can tell of its value to me; I ' ve found it a source of tens without measure, and, though low my exams were,, I ' ve oft made a D. Many times have I scanned at it with mind that was troubled, As with lesson unlearned and with class near at hand I sought, mid its jumble of case-forms confusing, for the customs of Gaul or the worship of Pan. Then away to the class, with my wisdom o ' erflowing, And I ' d make a ten, and my room-mate as well, And, when safely away from tr ? e Faculty ' s hearing, we would praise the translation that served us so well — The handy translation that the publishers sell. And now do ask, how I chanced to obtain it, This short road to Latin, dubbed pony and jack? Well, I ' 11 tell it to you, but to none else would T name it : It has an Annex girl ' s name in the back ; Once a leader of classes in that famed aggregation, but long since returned to her loved habitation, Leaving behind her hearts that are sore and this little volume that I ' ve men- tioned before. Prof. Reedy, full of grace, Loves a maiden, fair of face. It ' s hard to tell Where he will dwell, But anvhow he has a Place 197 FATE OF THE STUTTERING DUDE. Once upon a noonday Sunny Came a Bee a-seeking honev From the flowers, richly blooming in the meadow by the brook Came a Bee, his song a-humming, As a lad and lass were coming Hand -in-hand along the meadow (he a dude and she a cook) ; Talking love each to the other, was the young green dude and cook, Wandering idly by the brook. ' T was a June day when they wandered, And the lavish Spring had squandered Greenest verdure, sweetest flowers on the earth, in every nook; And the sky was blue above them, And the God of Cupid shrove them, And infatuation drove them ever nearer to the brook, Where the cattle browsed in clover, knee-deep by the babbling brook — Wall-eyed, watching dude and cook. And the poor dude ' s heart was thumping, While his temples were a- jumping With the blood so wildly coursing at the sweetness of her look. As he saw her blushes rising, With a suddenness surprising He began at once devising purpose which his being shook — Purpose then to pop the question in the meadow by the brook— Question memorized from book. Presently the youth grew bolder, And his arm stole o ' er her shoulder, And the silence grew oppressive — speech at once the dude forsook. In his throat there was a choking, And his stuttering was provoking, For his tongue was at her poking — all he did was stand and look In the face of blushing maiden — just a blank and silly look — In the silence by the brook. And the maiden, coyly blushing, B ' en her heart within her hushing, Waited for her beau to utter what she read within his look — Came that Bee, his song a-singing, Tangled in her hair a-winging, With his stinger primed for stinging. Then that girl that dude forsook ; Left him gaping at a vacuum, in the meadow by the brook — Naughty, tumbling, laughing brook! 198 And the poor dude, never speaking, Like a Sphinx, is ever seeking Peason why the blushing maiden him so suddenly forsook ; And his eyes have all the meaning Of an ordinary green thing; And the cow, her calf a- weaning, sees him standing by the brook, Calf-like, with the kine around him in the meadow by the brook, Petrified bv Bee-scared cook. TO THE CLASSES. I sing to you a song of four, The Freshman and the Sophomore, The Junior and the Senior, too, Who never any mischief do. The Freshmen are the jolly ones; A pass is all they try to get, And all their thoughts are pointless puns; They are a silly-jolly set. To them this college life is new, And we ' 11 excusie their faults so few. We next see Sophs, both large and small ; They ' ve pass,ed the Freshman goal and won The right the Freshmen Preps to call; But still they help the Preps have fun ; But then it ' s only b een a year Since they as Freshmen did appear. The Juniors are a quiet set; You ' d hardly know that they were here ; But when the Grads a party get, In warlike numbers thev appear ; They know that they need have no fear Until they are a Grad next vear. The Seniors are in numbers small, And if their heads seem rather large It is because they, one and all, Of brains contain a heavy charge. With all their brains the Seniors still Can learn some more, if they but will. 199 THAT BELL! There ' s a bell in the old Prep chapel — A bell that the classmen hate ; It rings before you ' re ready, it rings to show you are late. There ' s a clapper in San Gabriel Creek, where the placid ripples run There ' s a grinning lad in the Freshman Class, Who could tell how the deed was done. The old ladder creaked in the helfry; somebody swore and said: It ' s hard to open a trap-door that hangs right over your head. But the claw-bar ' s teeth were rigid, the Freshman ' s will was strong, And the Faculty was late to chapel, for the Prep bell-clapper was gone. Prof. Young, — Please excuse me from reciting to-day, as I was in bed all last night. Yours affectionately, Fd Harris. May 3, 1906. GRAD YELL. Fxams all passed ! Fees all paid !
