The Senior Class of ' 08 is, as usual, the most unusual class that has ever graduated from Southwestern. But this is not surprising when you consider the names upon the roster. People can no longer say with impunity that there are only seven wonders of the world. The Senior Class is a very remarkable one in many respects. Of course, you can not expect to have the pleasure of hearing the many extraordinary attributes and accomplishments of each of its members. But enough will be cited to con- vince you that no other class can boast that among its members are such wonder- ful characteristics as some of the following: Even before matriculating in the primary department, each member of this class was extraordinary in his own line. But a fact of which we are all especially proud, is that one of us won the first prize in a Mellin s Food Baby Show for being the fattest, handsomest and most original. Although his physique is strong and he is perhaps handsome vet. vmi imiv not recognize him now as a Mellin ' s Food Baby. Not every class can boast of having among its number the Heavenly Twins ' (redheaded ones at that — but that is on the dead). We really never expected this honor, because their mother was heard to- remark once, that she never hoped to raise them; not that they were delicate — Oh. no; merely that the good die young. Another one of our class was rather unfortunate while a mere child. Being a very inquisitive youngster, he crawled out into the yard during a heavy rain, and, when found — sad to relate — his hair was so badly rusted that nothing could be round io restore it to its natural color. As a whole, we are a very popular class; but, of course, there are a few of us who seem to have more attractions than the rest of us. One of our young men especially is worried a great deal by his popularity. Imitations to receptions and dinners cause him to make less brilliant grades, perhaps, than he otherwise would. I believe the principal attraction is his pale hair. As Ave have said before, we are remarkable in every way. We are very truth- ful. In this I am Mire every one will agree with me. But, as there is a little bad in the best of us, we, too. have a great Story to contend with. Some of us are not as lucky as others, but one seems to have been especially fortunate since he has chosen his better half, thereby setting the example for the rest of our class. As you see, we could go on forever telling you of the many remarkable and famous people by whom our class mil is honored, but for hick of space we will refrain. We also have a consideration for your feelings, because I fear that, should you learn all the startling accomplishments of all of us, you would feel rather insignificant and commonplace. As we have much charity and consideration for every one of our associates, we will bring this extraordinary history to a close. HlSTOtilAX. 32 Senior 3leademic. CLASS OFFICERS : President S. S.

I say impossibility, for I fear, long ere its story should be told, honors even mentioned and importance merely referred to, that the demand for ink, paper and printing presses would far exceed the supply. As I sit, with pen in hand, meditating over, wondering about and imagining upon the great im- possibility of my task, methinks I see a vision. Methinks I stand in the realms of an idealistic world. I see a university of the latest and most typical style. In this university there are many students. Class spirit runs high. Each class is making an enviable record; but standing out above all can be seen THE JUNIOK CLASS. Its members are at the top in every line of work. On the gridiron and on the ball field this class has its representatives. In society, on all oratorical contests and public debates the class furnishes some of the ablest men. It also has its share of industrious students; its fraternity and its non-fraternity men, its sporty boys and pretty girls. This class is the ideal class of the faculty. In fact, it is almost perfect. As I think, the vision brightens, the sight becomes plainer. Methinks 1 recognize some of the members of this wonderful Junior Class. And alas ! Behold ! My vision was a real one. The spirits of the mind world have solved the problem for me. This ideal class of this unknown university is, in reality, the Junior Class of ' 08. 54 junior Class Sloll.

The class of ? 10 will, in all probability, long be remembered for having reached the maximum in numbers and the minimum in brains. An individual history of the class would, in several cases, cover a period of thirty years or more, and, while we do not doubt that it would be as thrilling and romantic as a description of the life of a woodpecker in the Piney woods of Arkansas, a history of the class, as such, extending over a space of only a year, is more inviting to the present historian. The members have nothing in common — not even the interest of the class. In fact, each one depends upon his individual characteristics, except when pursued by the Freshmen. There is no such thing as a typical Sophomore. There is no prominent characteristic. Suffice it to say, that each, according to his own idea, works out the long and narrow way. Amid all this, how wonderful it would be if the class had nothing to recom- mend it. It has much ; represented in every movement, and always bringing back the goods. Time and space do not permit the enumeration of all the things accomplished during the past year; and Whereas, The Faculty, in its recent classification, has greatly reduced the class in number; and Whereas, The onslaught of the Preps, and Freshmen is mighty and great; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Sophomore Class, in June of 1910, will be greatly dis- figured, but not out of the ring.

Twice, three times, and more, have I tried to write the history of this Fresh- man Class, and just so many times have I failed. When I thin k of our great class, our three hundred girls and boys, I am more than willing to resign my office, for I at once acknowledge myself incompetent to poss the impossible, and, for this reason, I shall leave the details of this history unwritten. The past naturally comes first in a history. The past of this our first college year is, as is usual for students, full of events that it would not do to relate. But a few of us have accomplished much, some have passed the Miles ' post in English (others haven ' t) ; many, with stout and determined hearts, have launched out with the wandering Aeneas into the vast and unknown sea, and a part have landed with him at last in the desired haven. All of us have said our little speeches and have learned the A B C ' s of the great book of Oratory. The present — but I will let it stand for itself; it speaks for the great things that have been, and that are being accomplished. But what of our future, of which all is expectancy and yet all is vagueness and obscurity — what of its promises, its solemn warnings? Concerning this last I ' m going to tell you a little secret — a secret as to how was revealed to me the future of our class. In the old stove in the English room I placed, besides the usual ingredients of a caldron, first, the roll of our class, then Comus and his rout of monsters, the introduction of our text-book in literature, several essays, the cares, the wander- ings, and the victory of Aeneas, a vast deal of logarithms, and various other trials and troubles of a Freshman ' s life. As these were being consumed by the fire, the future — yes, the future of our present Freshman Class — was revealed to me. It would take volumes to record all that I saw, and many times I stood awe-struck at the various turns of chance below. Many excellent achievements were revealed : there were merchants, doctors, lawyers, missionaries, and men and women in almost every walk of life. But, imagine my astonishment, when I beheld one of our seem- ingly brightest boys a peanut peddler on the streets of Waco. Again, imagine my glad surprise when I saw two of our boys members of our President ' s cabinet, and one of them, now perhaps the most awkward and bashful in the class, sitting proudly at the head. But we are now only Freshmen; our achievements have just begun ; we must think no more on the past, but hold to the present with the deter- mination of attaining, in the future, to higher degrees of excellence.

We hope the well-informed reader will deal charitably with any inconsistencies he may find in this short sketch. Of our work this year, volumes could he written. However, both from a lit- erary and from a historical standpoint, a vast deal of the subject matter might not be of an abiding human interest. Out of the abundance of material, we select these few thoughts for publication. Believing that our society exists primarily not to furnish selfish ambitions, but to train boys to be men — men of eloquence, power and character — we have gone through this year without dirty politics and favoritism in awarding honors. The writer considers this our greatest achievement of the year. , Our roll of members is unusually large, and we think that the per cent of men who will make good in society work is above our average. The attendance on the weekly meetings has been excellent. We believe we are justly proud of our Intermediate Debate and debaters. We would place all the speakers on the honor roll. Some impartial critics say that the debate has never been excelled and rarely ecpialed here by another Intermediate Debate. Alamo men are filling places of responsibility in all departments of school life. Of the four College publications, viz.: The Sou ' wester, The Magazine, The Megaphone. and The Senior, the Alamo Society furnishes the Editor-in-Chief of each. Of five student-assistants chosen by the Faculty, three are Alamos. An Alamo represents the University in the State Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorical Contest. Tibs year an Alamo enjoys the benefit of the Thompson Hundred-Dollar Scholarship. The Presidents of the Young Preachers ' Association, the Y. M. C. A., the Senior, Sophomore, and Freshman Classes, the Athletic Association, and the Oratorical Association are Alamos. Forgetting the past, of which we are not altogether ashamed, and congratulat- ing ourselves on present prosperity, we look with bright hopes to the future. J. 0. Death. 78 4Sx£ Jtlanw Society Sloll.

San Jacinto Society lias always stood for the very highest and best in every- thing, and we are proud to say that her record for the past year shows that she has kept prominent our motto: Perfect eloquence clothes men with kingly power. Never did the work hegin with greater promise, and never was it carried on with more interest than during this year. Although the past is not always a sure index to the future, still it has much to do with the making of future history. Where is the organization, or where is the man that does not sometimes revert to past record as a basis for future ability? Therefore, we venture to mention San Jacinto ' s standing in two of the chief con- tests. In the joint debates between the San Jacinto and Alamo Societies, San Jacinto has won 1! to the Alamo 11, or more than 63 per cent. Of the repre- sentatives at the State Oratorical Contest, San Jacinto has had 10 to the Alamo •1, or more than 71 per cent. These contests represent the two chief things empha- sized in society work, hut of the other various and less important honors San Jacinto has not fallen short. Of this we do not unduly boast, hut feel justly proud. Men who have won these honors have gone out into Texas and elsewhere as the most eminent lawyers, preachers, professors and other professional men. Three of our first-honor gradu- ates have returned to Southwestern as instructors and are among the most popular and progressive members of the Facility. It is according to the old adage that Actions speak louder than words that we have kept our hanners waving so victoriously in the past; and if a rival society should like to know the secret of our success we would submit to them this phrase for consideration. Messrs. J. P. Griffin and W. L. Ilfrey will represent San Jacinto in the Brooks Prize Debate at Commencement this year. We never presume to prophesy, but as a society we are confident of their ability. These men have always believed in Old San Jacinto, and they are Proving their faith by their works. This shall always he our cry: If we die or if we win, We ' re glad we ' re San Jacinto men. 82 San Jacinto Society Sloll. Ayres, A. L. Beck, J. W. Carter, D. W. CONDRON, S. H. Doak. D. B. Fowler, C.

The leading colleges and universities of America have demonstrated the fact that Students ' Associations are a necessary part of college life. They have proved advantageous to faculties, as well as to student bodies. In keeping with South- western ' s rapid progress, a Students ' Association was organized May 15, 1907. The Association is now a reality. It is an organization of the students; con- trolled by the students, and for the students ' welfare. It has under its direct con- trol our college weekly, the Megaphone, and the Council of Honor. The Megaphone has proved to be a success. It is doing much to bring Southwestern ' s alumni in touch with their Alma Mater, as well as to stir up col- lege spirit and pride. The Council of Honor is one of the most important execu- tive bodies among our students. It has the power of expulsion for dishonesty on examinations and other dishonorable conduct. The student has the right of appeal to the Faculty. The xissociation is advantageous to the college sport, the athlete, the musician, the orator, the preacher, the long man. the short man, the square man, the flirt, the student; in fact, to every one in Southwestern University. It broadens prac- tical experience; brings the student into closer touch with bis fellows; tends to unify the student body, and arouses college spirit and enthusiasm. Our Associa- tion is young, but, with the student body pulling together for its continued suc- cess, its future is assured. Finis;. Frank Parristi, Editor.

Our membership is not very large, there being about twenty-five names on the roll, yet all are in earnest. The purpose of the League is to train the young men — the future citizens of this country — that they may make an intelligent decision upon the prohibition question. The fight against the liquor traffic is a growing one. Well trained men — men who fully understand and are well acquainted with every particular point in regard to prohibition — are being called for every day. So, as far as possible, we are making this the purpose of our local League. The League meets twice a month, on Tuesday evenings, in the Y. M. C. A. hall. A program, consisting of from three to five speakers, is arranged by the Program Committee for each meeting. Each speaker is limited to five minutes, and all topics are on some phase of the liquor problem. Each year a preliminary oratorical contest is held to choose a man to repre- sent the League in the State Prohibition Contest which is held each year at the different colleges and universities of Texas.

Feeling the need of a closer social relation, and, having a common interest in the welfare of each other, we, former students of Coronal Institute, San Marcos, met last January and organized — as we chose to call it — the Coronal Club of Southwestern. While our purpose was primarily to keep all Coronal students in close touch with each other, we hope to benefit others and to promote the welfare of South- western. We purpose to aid all students coming from Coronal to Southwestern. Furthermore, we shall try to interest all Coronal students in completing their edu- cation in our University. We purpose to work for closer relation between the two schools, also to increase the Club in numbers. And we are justified, we think, in hoping and believing that the Coronal Club of future years will have the greatest respect for its few humble charter members. Let our motto in this be, Increase in numbers, knowledge, and friendship. 141 3n fltjemoriam ' 3n amiable ftienti, a congictentioius ptuBent, an eremplarp dfcriBtian. aileen i£otc kt00 Born, (ZTalDtoell, VLeta , January 26, 1889 Dieb, 8@arlin, Ceras, October 29, 1907 142 33 u b I i t a t i n 143 THE SOU ' WESTER STAFF.

Today I think 1 am on the last link Of the chain of my long college life; And the time it doth glide like a slow ebbing tide That steals from the ocean of strife. And 1 cry for the end, that my days I may spend In repose, with my struggles all o ' er; And my pitiful squalls strike these school-building walls, Which echo one word evermore — The Sheepskin. Oil, these many long years, spent mostly in fears ; Yet at times still hoping to gain At some sweet future day, though far. far away, The diploma, and end all my pain ! What hath brought me at last, through the toils of the past, Near the end — though I can not be sure? What the?e books ' ? what this school? and what. T but a fool, If yet I should fail to secure — The Sheepskin? 0, my teacher, my friend ! please your aid to me lend In getting the facts from the books; Lest I fall in the dust with the many that bust — For sure I can ' t pass on my looks. Ob ! do give me, I pray, such bright hopes for the day That my heart shall be filled with a peace; For I gape and I yawn at twilight and dawn For the thing that my school life shall cea e — The Sheepskin. 184 Oh ! I long evermore with a feeling so sore That my heart almost bursts with the pain; And the depth of my soul doth yearn for the goal That I at that hour shall attain. Then my life won ' t seem old, and my heart can ' t feel cold. Or forget the hard struggles of years; Then I ' ll whisper away, not of school work that day. But of that which 1 sought for in tears — The Sheepskin. But the mist and the gloom of this college-life doom, Are lifting and drifting from sight; And the end will be clear ere the time doth appc.ir When my heart shall be filled with delight: For the sound of the bell will that glad hour tell. And I ' ll go to the stage without fear, AVhere the graduate ' s life may disrobe of its strife, For the thing he doth crave lieth near — The Sheepskin. Though my heart doth still burn and my soul doth still yearn, There are whispers of joy and of rest; For the man who ' ll decree the diploma for me. Bids me walk on my way and be blest. When that glad day doth dawn, and I sit sweetly on The grand stage at that hour near divine, Then the yearning of years recompensed for their tears, And the thing that I sought shall be mine — The Sheepskin. Only surface is sad ; our good faculty ' s glad To make efforts to educate men ; Soul, he calm; he whose hand doth Southwestern command. Will surely give me what I win. Come, ye books, and unfold, I shall now thee behold, But the end of my labor I see; And I ' ll patiently strive till that hour doth arrive When my longed-for shall come unto me — The Sheepskin. J. James Walling. 185 Ctm ' s Cpttapl). Tom and Tim were trespassing. But what vagabond boy of twelve, with his vagabond dog, could resist Big Head Spring with its bountiful supply of perch and bass? Tom was an orphan boy, Tim an orphan dog. These two orphans met and became fast friends on a certain stormy day when Tom, who usually spent his nights as well as the days on the street, found, out in the rain, a miserable, half- starved puppy, with thin, straggling hair of a light tan color, and melancholy brown eyes. Tom had never been taught much of anything, and neither had Tim. Tom had gone to the jmblie schools for a few weeks, and he knew one bit of scripture; one that he remembered hearing the missionary lady say : Bless them that per- secute you. Tim remembered nothing but cuffs and blows prior to his acquaint- ance with Tom, and his only accomplishment was swimmir.g. Big Head Spring was some distance out of town, on the land of one Ebenezer Short, a crabbed old bachelor, and an open enemy to small boys and dogs. Tim and Tom were special objects of his hatred, as they yielded oftener than their mates to the enchantments of Spring Bottom. Tim bore a conspicuous mark of the old man ' s displeasure in the form of a disfigured ear, which had received a bullet from his gun. Today, the daring pair first skirted the little strip of woodland in search of a chance rabbit, then stopped at the spring to rest and fish. The Big Head of the spring Avas a large round basin, about ten feet in diameter, in which the water bubbled up rapidly from the bottom, and then passed out through an underground channel, thereby causing a small whirlpool on one side near the edge of the basin. Tom threw bis hook in and drowsily watched for a bite, while Tim investi- gated things in general, now scenting an imaginary trail, and now creeping up to his master ' s side to peer into the dark water as if to say he doubted the good judgment of a fish that would choose for his home such a dangerous looking hole. The afternoon sun grew warmer, and the fishermen both dozed. Tim ' s head sank between his paws, and Tom ' s brown cheek sought a pillow on a ragged coat sleeve. But soon a grating voice waked them suddenly: Here you air agin; you skinny little rascal! Ef you an ' yer yeller dang don ' t keep off ' n my premises, and slop keichin ' up my fish, I ' m goin ' to use a 186 stronger persuader ' n what I ' ve bin usin ' . Show me a kid an ' a dang, an ' I ' ll show yon two o ' tlf peskiest things on this green earth. Hide out f ' m ' ere quick, you ' n ' yer lop-yeared dang, both of you, or I ' ll pitch ye into this hole o ' water. With these words, the old man, who had been prancing about in his anger, took one step too far backwards. His short, stubby form disappeared with a heavy splash. Up to this time, Tim had been eyeing his old enemy uneasily, with his one straight ear cocked, and with mistrust and dislike in his brown eyes. But now he no longer saw the hater of boys and dogs, but only a tuft of grizzly hair coming to the surface. In a twinkling he was in the water, bravely tugging at the man ' s shirt sleeve. They were not far from the bank, and, though the dog had to do all the swimming, they came steadily nearer the shore, until finally the old man ' s hand grasped a root, and he succeeded in dragging himself, half-drowned, out of the water. But the next moment Tom gave a cry of horror from the shore. Tim, his beloved Tim. had drifted too close to the whirlpool, and it was sucking him under. He screamed to the rescued man for help, but Ebenezer Short, white and trembling, was staggering away, unconscious of everything else hut the awful death he had just escaped. All the help in the world would have been useless. A limp little body was finally fished out of the water by a broken-hearted boy. A pitiful little funeral took place at about nightfall, in an old fence corner near by. The light of the next morning showed a tiny mound, with, a pine board at one end. on which was printed in tipsy capitals: Hear lise my dang Tim He blest Mister Ebenezer Short a man what persacuted him. Four months later, a short, stumpy old man with grizzly hair was weeding out an old fence corner. Among the rubbish, a pine board, printed over with tipsy capitals, attracted his notice. After spelling out the dim letters, he stood motionless for a long time, holding the board. Then a hand was stealthily raised, and a dirty sleeve was hastily brushed across a pair of tear-dimmed eves. Cfie Jfresijman £ «!. Fill your bumper high, Hearts that all may seek, And drink till song unfurls; These, boys, are Freshman girls, Drown each tear and sigh. They are gold and true blue ' Here ' s to the Freshman girl, Yea, even priceless pearls Euby lip and rosy cheek, For which kings might sue; And eyes that conquer worlds, Hurrah for the Freshman girls. 187 Clje g at) Cale of Cap ' n intone. (A Story with a Moral.) BY T. J. MOSLEY. Come, children all, and hearken While the evening shadows darken. And a tale I will unfold Of a Freshman hold Who once went out a larkin ' . This youth was known as Cap ' n Stone Of wondrous length and muscle. Naught pleased him more than to handle four In a good, old-fashioned tussle. One night at ten he called his men To a sport right gay and hearty; For the Senior Class, both lad and lass, Were at a social party. We ' ll watch the door till the party ' s o ' er, Announced the festive Cap ' n, And when it ' s done, we ' ll have our fun ; The pleasure ' s sure to happen. With a gleeful yell the freshies fell Into his proposition; And armed with sticks and halves of bricks They joined the expedition. Ah, Cap ' n Stone, had you but known The end before you started So brave and gay up Snyder-way, Would you have e ' er departed? But such is life; in this world of strife We can ' t tell what may happen; There ' s many a slip ' twixt cup and lip, And so discovered Cap ' n. 188 Now the Soph ' mo:e Class did not surpass The Fresh. In point of number; But when a f.ght was on at night, They ne ' er were wrapped in slumber. T ' iese Soph ' mores then (the wicked men) Resolved to spoil the merriment; Ami well supplied with boards and hide Determined down the road they went. Said they: Pooh, pooh! Twill never do — Such insubordination ; We ' ll teach those boys to make less noise, And aid their education. Alack ! Alas ! It came to pass That the Soph ' mores met the Fresh. ; And soon arose the sound of blows And a smell of burning flesh ! Ah woe ! Ah me ! And what can be That hellish whacking yonder? Wait, children dear, while I shed a tear And pause a while and ponder. Poor Cap ' n Stone was all alone Save for two dozen Sophs., And each in turn did make him burn With boards and razor strops. Poor Cap ' n Stone with many a groan Now promised to reform ; But with awful slashes a hundred lashes Burst on him in a storm. No one can tell what might have befell Poor Cap ' n Stone that night; But he grabbed hold of a telephone pole And climbed clear out of sight ! Now, children dear, give me your ear; This moral will make you glad: Whatever you do at S. W. IT., Don ' t you ever bother a grad.! 189 jMl ottti politics. I was tired and worn out from my long tramp through the woods, so I leaned my gun against a tree and sat down by the pond to rest. A large bullfrog sat on an old log that lay in the water before me. He seemed an intelligent old fellow as he sat there in his bright suit of green with large black spots, and I fancied that he could tell me some wonderful things, if he would, of his life in the pond. Thus musing upon the mysteries of the glimmering pool at my feet and of its amphibian inhabitants, I fell asleep and dreamed some wonderful and strange things, some of which I will relate. I saw again the pond and the old tree trunk lying in it, but instead of the one old frog on the log, there were, as well as I could judge, about three hundred young frogs. It was evident that a political meeting of some kind was in progress and that the excitement was intense. I saw, also, that the participants were divided into two nearly equal divisions, and that the rivalry between the two was bitter, indeed. There was a decided contrast in the appearance of the members of the two crowds. Those of the larger division were plainly dressed in solid green or brown, while those of the smaller class were more fastidiously clothed in bright green suits marked by large black spots, and sometimes these black spots were made more distinct by a whitish border. After considerable activity, on the part of the leaders of each group, accom- panied by much excitement, the purpose of the meeting seemed to have been accom- plished, and the crowd dispersed. I observed that after adjournment the same distinct division of the individuals remained and that the members of the smaller class went away together, while the others broke up into small groups and slowly disappeared from the scene of battle; hence I concluded that it was not a tempo- rary political difference that caused the division of the amphibian citizens. Having become very much interested in this strange state of affairs, I went from group to group and, by listening to the conversation and observing their actions, I gained some interesting and strange information. First of all, I found that the pool, because of its location and other natural advantages, was most excel- lently adapted to the development and training of the amphibian youth. I learned also that there were a few old frogs in the pond whose ability to croak was so great that their fame had gone out into the neighboring ponds, and the result was that a great number of young frogs were sent to them from the surrounding pools for instruction in the science and art of croaking. That much was very satisfactory and easily understood, but it was difficult to find out anything concerning the cause of the two divisions. The members of the smaller class were not, as a rule, very communicative, and those of the other class, although more disposed to discuss the question, were, for the most part, agreed that it was due to the more aristocratic tendencies of the fellows in green suits with black spots bordered by white. At last, I found a conservative old fellow who was able to give me a plain statement of the facts. 190 In substance, this is the story he told me as he sat on a cool stone in the sun- shine. The frogs in the green suits with, the black spots belong to an organization known as the Grrrks. The black spots are the emblem of the order. They are very exclusive in the matter of membership, and many of them refuse to have any intercourse whatever with the Out-Grrrks. On the other hand, the Out-Grrrks resent the exclusiveness of the others, and will not have anything to do with them. In all contests, as for instance, the election of a captain of the leap-frog team, the rivalry is very keen between the two factions. The Outs, being the most numer- ous, are generally successful in such matters, but in one contest they are at a decided disadvantage. I refer to the contest for the favor and smiles of the female inhabitants of the pond. The black spots of the Grrrk attract the female amphibian in a manner as irresistible as unaccountable. Do you see those two fellows yonder? asked my informant, indicating two frogs swimming by us. ' ' The one on the right, he continued, is a new arrival in the pool. His father is a big frog in a little pond farther up the creek and is noted for his ex- traordinary croaking. The son gives promise of developing some talent in that line also, hence he has been invited to join the Grrrk. That is one of the mem- bers taking him out for a swim now. Splash ! ! , and I was wide awake. Only the ripples remained on the surface of the pond where the old bullfrog had disappeared. I arose, picked up my gun, and started for home, pondering on my strange dream. E. a Cramp ♦ The wander-lust is on me, A stranger butterfly to greet, I can not bide today, A bird-song to be learned, My feet must travel many a mile, A violet to linger by, My heart ' s away, away.

And through a town or two, Or neath the shadows cool A single hour ' s dreaming Where I catch a glimpse of Naiads Beside a river blue. Who sport beside the pool.

Bright, he thy gleam, 0, thou, my guiding Star; Let thou thy light unerring mark my way; May I thee see, e ' en though thou he far, Until my anxious eyes behold the day When I shall firmly tread in bright array The high and holy plains of useful life, A pilgrim from this land of painful strife. And let me then, my brilliant Star, soon gain The mountaintops, and breathe the balmy air; Oh! may I toil, nor murmur or complain At human sorrows which my heart must share, But patiently my life ' s own burdens bear.

James Wallin, 192 0lmt) Bates, All of us, as we advance in knowledge and understanding, are prone to look back upon our past years and recall tilings that, at the time, were fraught with tragedy. But, as years soften our sorrow, we begin to appreciate the ludicrous sides of the situation, and grin amusedly to ourselves every time we think of those youthful blunders. One especially do I recall that took root, flourished, blossomed, withered, and disappeared within the short space of two weeks. The trouble began, as.it usually does, with a member of the fairer sex, whom I Ehall call Miss M , a most attractive young maid, upon whom I bad been calling cpiite frequently and regu- larly. To my youthful fancy she was the fairest of God ' s creations, with dark brown e} r es, the limpid depths of which seemed fathomless. So you can imagine perhaps, when I looked into them — well, from all the symptoms, and I had ex- amined them all quite carefuly, I really thought I was madly in love. My affaire d ' amour was moving along most successfully. I congratulated myself, and so infatuated had I become that I had even begun to look forward to that bright clay when, with the birds singing about us, or perhaps the warm seclu- sion of her father ' s great library, I should tell her of — but to continue with my story. Just at this unlucky (?) point, a Miss K visited in our city, whom I met one night at a soiree given in her honor. She was unusually bright and attractive, and a very witty conversationalist. Becognizing a most companionable girl, I made an engagement with her without further delay for the following night. Finding her so very entertaining that evening, I made engagements for the re- maining nights of the week. Then did I think I was having the best time con- ceivable — two cases on my hands at the same time, both progressing beautifully, and each girl totally unaware of the fact that I was playing a dual role. But, truly, pride goeth before a fall, as you shall soon see. On Friday of the first week Miss M invited me to a dinner she was to give the following- evening, and in an unguarded moment I accepted. At the time I had no thoughts of my date with Miss K , nor did it occur to me the next clay. On Saturday night in the midst of the dinner, it suddenly came to me like a cloudburst from a clear sky that Miss K was at that moment waiting for me. The remaining courses were almost forgotten, I lost all interest in the con- versation, and became so nervous I could scarcely sit still. Consequently, as soon as dinner was over, I drew my hostess to one side and, explaining that I had a severe headache, requested that she excuse me for the remainder of the evening. Certainly, she replied, if you are suffering, but 1 am so sorry and hope you will soon get over it. Thanking her, I secured my coat and hat and left to fulfill my other engagement. Fortunately it was only a few blocks to Miss K ' s house, and I arrived there about eight forty-five. ' ' You ' ll have to excuse me this time, I said, with a guilty conscience. Just as I was about to start, mother asked me to. take her to a friend ' s, so it delayed me somewhat. 193 Oh, that ' s all right. I knew something must surely be the matter, she re- marked, unconscious of my duplicity. Soon we were so engaged in conversation that I completely forgot my troubles, and the evening passed very rapidly, indeed. Before leaving she finally agreed to accept my frat. pin, and I bade her good-night with a light heart. Sunday, the next day, I called on Miss M and spent the afternoon with her. In the course of the afternoon, I explained how sorry I was at having to leave the evening before, and, after a great deal of argument for the defense, she accepted my explanation. That night I again called on Miss K , and, as usual, enjoyed myself immensely. Now comes the sad part of my story. On Tuesday afternoon, upon returning from school I found two small boxes which the postman had left for me. Hastily I opened them and there were both of my frat. pins. Imagine my bewilderment, if you can. Finally the power of coherent thinking returned to me, and 1 rushed to the telephone. Give me 162, I said in an eager voice. Mrs. M answered the ' phone and told me that Miss M was not at home. I then called up Miss K and asked her to let me come out for a few moments, as I had something I wanted explained. Oh, you needn ' t bother about coming out, said she in a sort of 32° Fahren- heit voice, for 1 can explain just as well over the ' phone. No, but I can understand things better if I ' m on the grounds, I replied. Oh, very well, she said, and I immediately hung up the receiver, changed my clothes, rushed to the barn, cranked up the machine, and in record time drew up at Miss Iv ' s door. Almost before I had entered the door, I began to wish for my overcoat ; it was an iceberg that met me instead of the sweet, amiable girl I was iooking for. What does this mean ? I exclaimed, exhibiting my frat. pin. Why, that ' s not the one I had, she replied, laughing. Perhaps you had better explain. In my embarrassment I had brought forth the one that Miss M had been wearing. Oh. I have two, I said, here ' s the one I had reference to. No word of explanation or anything came with it. She then looked at me curiously and said, Why, if you really want an ex- planation, I ' ll give it to you. Yesterday afternoon Miss M called on me and among the first thing I noticed was a K. A. frat. pin, and remarked that I had one too. She replied that she was very glad to hear it, for she had a particu- larly good friend, a K. A. in town, and she knew he would be delighted to call on me. Well, to make a long story short, it finally came out that we were both wear- ing your pins. We even went further and compared the dates we have had with you for the past week. She was perfectly furious that I should have had a date with you on last Saturday night. No. she did not give any reason whatsoever, but I could see she was mad. I immediately saw that the game was lost, that my mistake was irretrievable. All is fair in love and war, I meekly replied, but this seems to be both, so I don ' t know what to do. What could I do? What did I do? Well, I leave that to your imagination. 194 x , ■ ■ I 195 !(  I 4 ill ■Vp j I W I- -sj l ViJ- jtthletie Jlssoeiation. Officers. President W. E. Clark. Vice-President Prof. R. W. Tinsley. Secretary B.

' ' and Whereas, The vainglorious Freshmen, though they toil not, yet are they clothed in purple and fine raiment and become an offense and an abomination in our sight ; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the upper classmen of Southwestern University, are now and henceforth shall be united in purpose and endeavors to require of the Fresh- men that deference and regard to which nature and our position entitle us, and to effectually resist the encroachments of our and society ' s enemies on our privileges and prerogatives. . And, be it further Resolved, That for a Freshman to participate in, aid or abet any attempt what- ever, whenever, and wheresoever, to interfere with the upper classmen in the dis- charge of their inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, is and shall be considered an unpardonable offense against the peace and dignity of the said upper classmen and of Southwestern University, for which any penalty save imprisonment and death may be exacted. And, be it further Resolved. That for a Freshman to wear or to encourage other Freshmen to wear sideburns of such unreasonable length as to exceed those of the distin- guished President of the Senior Class, shall be deemed especially obnoxious and to deserve the worst efforts of Onkel Buck. And, be it finally Resolved, That these resolves be made so pointed and plain that no Freshman, though a fool, need err in their interpretation. J. F. Simpson, L. W. Eogers, J. Pi. Griffin, Committee. The publication of the above resolutions threw the Freshmen into great excite- ment, and consternation spread throughout their ranks. A meeting was called for Friday, February 7th, d p. m., to perfect measures for the protection of their lib- erties and sideburns. An urgent appeal was sent forth by their chief for all valiant and liberty-loving Freshmen to rally to the defense of their persons and rights, but the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley. About 3 p. m., as the dignified President of the Freshman Class was on his way to the meeting, revolving plans of dire revenge, he was met by a committee of his friends, the upper classmen, and carried to their stronghold. Throughout the afternoon, he and the distinguished Committee on Pesolutions held an informal reception, to which the upper classmen were invited. These showed their appreciation of this kind hospitality by bringing gifts of freshmen pins, rubbers, and milk (Morlick). 214 However, the freshmen succeeded in meeting the next day to decide upon some measure of protection. A prominent feature of this meeting was the discovery of an upper classman in the near vicinity of the great freshman conclave. Imme- diately business was forgotten, the frantic calls of the President for order were unheeded, as the assembled multitude surged wildly toward the stronghold of the scout. Then followed the regular blow-off and threats that only a freshman can promulgate, and loyal tow-heads were dispatched post-haste for pepper, snuff, — anything that would help the situation. So far, though, there were no means at band to verify any one ' s presence within the small room, until a person butted in, who is rather far-famed as the little man with a big voice, and verified suspicions by trying to unlock the door, thus showing it to be locked on the inside. Then did the thunder of the enraged freshmen burst forth anew, which was vastly augmented by two or three cracked heads, belonging to some venturesome lads who were too eager to see their hidden, unknown adversary. Seeing that the supposed upper classman ' s position could not be broken by brute force, their shrewd leader advanced with proposals for capitulation. These were at first rejected, but again did the blood-hungry freshmen advance other articles, adopting the demands of the still unknown gentleman, said articles being: give ivp any written notes, promise to disclose none of the erudite proceedings of the meeting, and finally to submit to a dozen love-licks at the hands of the Presi- dent, as a mere token of their appreciation. There being absolutely no hope of rescue, deserted by the upper classmen who were aware of the situation, with odds of seventy-five to one, the unknown de- manded that each one swear to not lay hands on him, to which the eager fresh- men acceded with alacrity, their curiosity for once getting the better of their judgment. Having ribhed them into such favorable terms, when they had him at their mercy, and remembering that discretion is often the better part of valor, the upper classman boldly walked forth otherwise untouched, and took his dozen rinds with such good grace and laughing countenance that many freshmen were heard to exclaim, Aw, pshaw, lie didn ' t get a tenth of what he deserved. ' , ' Thus closed this incident. After this interesting episode, the freshmen, in league with their brother-tribe, the preps., adopted the following resolutions : Whereas, It is a know fact that heretofore the G-racls have been made to come and go at the beck and call of the fresmen ; and Whereas, It is a know fact that the faculty, sympathizing with the said Grads in their unability either mentally or physically to protect themselves against the predominance of the fresmen. have on various and sundry occasions interceded in behalf of the said Grads ; and Wheeeas, These interceusions on the part of the faculty have caused the said Grads to feel that there is power behind them; we the fresmen, shall not be surprised at. but will rather sympathize with, any attempt on the part of the said Grads to bring them into r ecognition in S. IT. ; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the fresmen, not only will sympathize with, but also will extend a helping hand to any Grad trying to make advancements of which we think him capable. Furthermore, be it Resolved, That we, the fresmen, purpose to toil not but rather to ' go clad in purple and fine linen ; also that we purpose to wear our durhies and sideburns, smoke our long-stem pipes and spit red where and when we please; also that we 215 do not purpose to tip our hats to nobody except our superiors and to them only when we see fit. Furthermore, be it Resolved, That should the facts come into our knowledge of any Grad who is properly striving to better himself while in school, and to prepare himself for life after school ; we, the fresmen, will try and help the said Grad to become eligible to associate with us. but that, on the other hand, should he be endeavoring to take strides which he is incapable of taking and which we think to be overlapping his bounds, we, the fresmen,,, will proceed, time and place unnamed, in a nice and fresmanlike manner, to take the rind off the said Grad. Furthermore, be it Resolved, That we, the fresmen, remind ye Sophs and Juniors that it is best to stay on the side of right and might, lest ye find yourself in the fame predica- ment as the Grads. Eespectfullv submitted, B. H. McLain, E. H. Lawhon, I. II. Ayers. Whereas, We, the sub-freshmen, sympathize with the freshmen in their efforts to better the Grads; therefore, he it Resolved, That Ave, the sub-freshmen, join our interests with the freshmen in this great work. L. L. Felder, Austin Fowler. On the following Friday evening, February 21st, the Seniors were scheduled for a party. The war chiefs of the Sophomores and Juniors met in council and decided to protect the Seniors in their pursuit of happiness, and thereby humble the vainglorious and obnoxious freshmen. The Sophomores and Juniors having escorted the Seniors to the Annex, were returning home, when they were met and attacked by the freshmen, reinforced by that gullible and innumerable horde, the preps. The results of the long and Moody conflict that followed are partially given in the following accounts: a i0i)tp battle. And it happened on that day there were dwelling at Southwestern three tribes — a wicked people and very proud — the Juniors, the Seniors and the Sophomores. And they called themselves Upper Classmen. And there was also another tribe, the Fresh Men, and they were a generous people but, they loved the tribe of their fathers. And in those days the tribe of Senior — also called Grad — which, being- interpreted, means the very Foolish, rose up and murmured against the tribe of the Fresh Men. And they remembered how, on another day, the Fresh Men had risen up and had smitten them. Nor did they forget the sores on their bodies. And the tribes of the Upper Classmen gathered themselves together in the council chamber of their king, Re Edy, and took counsel together. And they formed a league against the Fresh Men. And they decided that the tribe of the Fresh Men shovdd not be entirely cut off, but should live, and should not wear standing collars, nor derby hats, and they should not smoke long-stemmed pipes, but they should lie hewers of wood and drawers of water. And when it came to pass that the Fresh Men rose up against the Upper Classmen, that oppressed them, it happened that on that day there was a feast, and all the children of the tribe of the Seniors were invited to come. And they were sore distressed because of the Fresh Men, but the tribes of the Juniors and Sopho- mores said : We will protect your people from the tribe of the wild Fresh Men. 216 And it came to pass after they had journeyed where the feast was spread, and were returning that the Fresh Men fell upon them and discomfited them, and slew them with a great slaughter, and chased them along the way that goeth up to the An Nex. And it came to pass as (hey were fleeing before the Fresh Men, that the Fresh Men heaved mighty paddles against the hindermost. And there was no day like it, before it nor after it. And it came to pass that after the Fresh Men had made an end of slaying them with great s laughter, till they were exhausted, and they that remained of them had entered into fenced yards, they raised not their tongues against the Fresh Men. And the Fresh Men were rulers of South Western. And it came to pass that when they returned to count the slain, they found among them Rogers, a warrior of the tribe of Sophomore, and Key, a leader of the blood of the Seniors, and many others. And they were gathered to their fathers. And there was also a boastful Hunter of the tribe of the Juniors who went to sleep with his fathers (before the battle). a Correction. One Avho is not acquainted with the facts would judge by reading the above article written by one of that bunch of mental monstrosities commonly known and designated as freshmen, that the said freshmen had literally wiped the upper class- men off the face of the earth. For swell-headed braggadocio and. unadulterated pompo sity, commend us to a chuckle-headed freshman whose mental cavity has ' been inflated with an erroneous idea of his own importance. He is the limit. There is nothing in the heaven above, nor in the earth beneath, nor in the water under the earth (unless it be the lobster) which can be compared to him with any degree of accuracy. If there be anything in the theory of evolution, we are willing to bet our last bottom dollar that the freshman can trace bis ancestry back to the lobster and from there to the tadpole. Of course, this includes ourselves, since we came up by the way of the freshman route, too. but we are now surveying the field from the exalted position of Sophomore. Now we are willing to admit that by reason of superior numbers and brute force (which is a peculiar characteristic of the masculine freshman) they were able to slightly put it over us the other night. But the slaughter and carnage was not as overwhelming as they would have you believe.. There were several little in- cidents which were entirely overlooked by their gallant historian. For instance, there was that little incident of Captain Stone ' s. The Cap ' n had received such a vigorous application of barrel stave on his county seat that the temperature in that immediate neighborhood of his anatomy rose almost to the boiling point. As soon as he could break away, however, he rushed across the street and in his excitement climbed about twenty-five feet into the air on a tele- phone pole. Some of his companions spied him out, however, and urged him to come down, and enjoy the fun. No, replied Cap ' n, I have quite a large suffi- ciency of the fun for present. Besides, it is cool and pleasant up here. There is a nice little breeze blowing and I think my temperature will cool off more readily up here than down there. Cap ' n remained up the pole until 3 o ' clock in the morning. He says he got so interested in studying the heavenly bodies that be became lost to the passage of time, but we are inclined to accept this statement with a large grain of salt. If he saw any stars at all, we are inclined to believe that they were purely imaginary on his paid, superinduced by the burning sensa- tion at the base of his spinal column. 217 And then there was that little incident in which Joseph Thurmond played such a prominent part. Having become slightly separated from his clan he was mistaken by some of his companions for an upper classman, whereupon they fell upon him and began to lambast him up one side and down the other. One mighty stroke caught him between the umbilicus and the watch pocket, and the concussion sounded like a feather bed had been struck with a bed slat. Finally Joseph got loose from his antagonists and began to move away. He stood not upon the order of his going. He went rapidly, more rapidly and still more rapidly. And his speed was accelerated by Calloway and Richardson and Lott, who were following closely in his rear, and still mistaken as to his identity, were applying their paddles to his center of gravity as often as they could get in reach. The last heard of Joseph he was still hot-footing it towards the Rio Grande and had reached a point two miles beyond the western border of Williamson county. If Joseph hadn ' t reg- istered for a Ph. D. when he came here last fall we don ' t think he would ever have been mistaken for an upper classman, notwithstanding his striking personal re- semblance to Cain ' s Julius Caesar. Perhaps the most striking event of the whole evening ' s entertainment was the personal set-to between the gallant Gillespie of the freshmen and the redoubtable Ramos. These are both men of powerful physique, and their contest was marked by heavy slugging on both sides. Ramos delivered a powerful blow in the fourth round. He landed on Gillespie ' s right fist with a very forthwith and abrupt man- ner, with his nasal protuberance. The gallant chief of the freshmen was finally defeated, however, and Ramos was heard to remark in a stentorian voice, as he removed a large wart from under his finger nail, which he had scraped off the back of his antagonist ' s neck: Let this be a warning to all presumptions, pop-eyed freshmen. I can lick four more of them if they will trot them out. Them ' s my sentiments, by gravy ! Both sides sickened at the awful results of the battle, and in order to avoid such carnage and bloodshed, agreed upon the following terms of warfare: We, the undersigned, representing the several classes of S. W. IT., do hereby agree that in the future, in any class rushes, fights or individual rindings, said classes will use only belts, razor strops, leather straps, and the like ; barring the use of sticks, clubs, planks, trees, telephone poles, baseball bats, etc., and we further agree that, should any infringement of this rule occur, such infringement shall be punished by all the classes. S. S. BOUTWELL, President Senior Class. Arthur L. Ayres, President Junior Class. W. M. Pearce, President Sophomore Class. V. C. Gillespie. President Freshman Class. L. L. Feeder, President Sub-Fresh. Class. The rest of the acts of these people are written in the books of Enoch and of the Kino- of the South westernites. 218 COMING coni - The .Longest w i Tided -ty n fxT ov+hvyes+cr i 219 City %ail atretics. One misty, gloomy Saturday night, early in the present school year, there was assembled on the public square, a great, surging, buzzing crowd of schoolboys, whose faces seemed to portray unusual excitement. Each boy seemed to have ever ready some whispered question for his fellows; here and there, on the outskirts of the crowd, boys stood in groups, conversing in an eager undertone. There seemed to be every indication of a prospective badger fight, but nowhere could the para- phernalia for that interesting bit of sport be seen. But the crowd soon stole quietly away, leaving the few straggling lookers-on curious to know its intention. At this juncture, Frank Dobie approached the writer, who also was ignorant of the intention of the crowd, and said, ' Say, the Athletic Association is going to meet tonight, and there are two candidates to be initiated. Let ' s go and see the ceremony. ' ' Good. A few minutes later, Frank rapped on the door of the town Itall. and after whispering some mysterious something into the ear of the doorkeeper, we were allowed to pass in. What an assembly! A stranger could not have discerned whether it Avas a Farmers ' Union or a Stock Exchange. Ranged around the walls was a multitude of silent, serious-faced members, whose countenances were advertisements of the importance of the ceremony. Judge Wheeler was in the chair and addressed the assembly, speaking in awe-inspiring tones concerning the solemnity of the occa- sion. The two candidates, who occupied chairs directly in front of the august judge, were eloquently exhorted, concerning the step they were about to take. The judge concluded by saying there was yet some hope of their escape if they did not have the nerve to proceed with the initiation; but this insinuation of feebleness of nerve only goaded the two excited Innocents to a vehement denial of any fear on their part of an expression of impatience at the apparently useless delay. Whereupon the judge put the question to the house, All who will admit these two men into the Athletic Association of Southwestern University, let it be known by the usual voting sign, which is ' A-aye-Esau. ' ' A-aye-Esau thundered around the room — without a dissenting voice. S. S. Boutwell was then appointed conductor, and was given several able- bodied assistants. The candidates were taken aside to be prepared for the ordeal of initiation — 220 which preparation consisted of an entire removal of all upper garments and yank- ing up the belt about four holes — and led back blindfolded. What fine physiques! What wonderful specimens of fine young manhood ( ?) — just ready to bloom ! What valuable additions to the Athletic Association — especially valuable the one who later came to be known as Preacher. The conductor, who Avas a man eminently fitted for upholding the peace and dignity of the Association, began in a very grave manner, by giving what he was pleased to call the lung test. This, he explained, was necessary, because an athlete was supposed to be a man of very strong respiratory organs. The Inno- cents were bidden to vigorously protrude their chests, to throw back their heads and open wide their mouths, and a very solemn and minute inspection of the sound- producing cavities was made. Then followed a series of solos, rousing college melodies, back-handed running of the scale, etc. (both in order and in pitch), all of which was so solemnly imposed by the conductor and so diligently carried out by the Innocents that the old members forgot their gravity and went off in frequent and convulsive shrieks of laughter. Next, the house was arranged for a race, to be run on all-fours. With a yell from the crowd the two contestants started off on their unique and exciting dash, and at regular intervals their speed was accelerated by the application of previously prepared persuaders 1 ' — made of thin plank — to their eastern extremi- ties as they galloped off in a westerly direction. All the other phases of the initiation dispensed with, it was deemed advisable to imprint upon the backs of the now fledgeling athletes the customary official seal of the Association, which should be a lasting proof of their membership and rights in that organization. The seal was made by hand and required something like a fourth of a bottle of Elite Shoe Polish for its completion. When completed it bore a marked resemblance to the face of his Satanic Majesty, as seen just prior to the break of day. Finally, after a season of congratulations, the Association adjourned — sine die. Theo. A. Tunnell. 3mportant. We hereby give due notice to all young ladies that Ave shall totally ignore any and all attempts at flirtation. We have reasons which we need not state for re- fraining from such indulgencies. House, Myers, Dorset, Scrimpshire, Nelsox. 221 This is Jeems Oglethorpe Leath, lie of the prodigious intellect. Jeems Ogle- thorpe can detect the difference at a distance of -±00 yards between a Greek verb and the pons asinorum ; and lie can do this with the naked eyed with one hand tied behind him. Jeems never made but one break in his life: that was when he mispronounced a Greek word and made a remark which did not sound very well in polite society. But, seriously now, we will bet that in less than fifteen years J. 0. will have a LL. D. to the end of his name. 222 This is Herr Amos ' . Now Herr Amos, when he is feeling right ])eart, can absolutely give harder, longer German lessons than any man under the sun. He seems to get a good deal of fun out of it, too. In fact, the only three forms of amusement Herr Amos indulges in are smoking, giving long lessons, and play- ing with the baby. We tried to get our artist to draw a likeness of Jeems Welborn Chapman, but he did not feel equal to the task. Wo do not refer to Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, the evangelist, but to our own sweet singer, J. Welborn from Singersville. Xow Jeems can sing Sucking Cider Through a Straw in a sad and plaintive tone until von feel like vou would give almost anything on earth if vou could induce him to quit. 223 This is Professor Benedict, the only man in Southwestern University who has ever had the moral courage to rear an invalid mustache in the face of adverse criticism. Those who were most severe in their criticism at first, now that he has brought this enterprise to a successful culmination, are now loudest in praise and congratulation ; but they are receiving from the professor that degree of scorn which the patronizer so justly deserves. For, says Dr. Johnson, Is not a patron one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling in the water, and, when he has reached the ground, encumbers him with help? When the professor came here last fall his upper lip was as smooth as a six- teen-year-old girl ' s. But now it is adorned with a beautiful amber-brown mus- tache. The reader is referred to the accompanying illustration. Is it not cute? There are 8 on one side and 9 on the other. There were 9 on each side, but he plucked out one. 224 £ oe to professor Benedict. Thou too, wave on, oh mustache great ! Wave on, oh- embryo; brown and straight! The Annex with all its girls In all their faith of home-grown curls Is hanging breathless on thy fate ! We know that Bucklen ' s salve is great, But salve or no, they still grow straight, Who coaxed each stub, and root, and dope, What anguish cries, and false alarms, And social lies about their charms And how to grow mustache only on hope ! Fear not small rumor, nor smothered smile, Fortune may come to thee after a while; Fortune may favor, and not have thee wait, With mustache so grand to die without mate ! In spite of mocks and envious roar, In spite of small-fry on every floor, Wave on, nor fear to breast the world. Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o ' er our fears, Are all with thee, — are all with thee !

Another one speeds to her room like a flash. And crams in her bed clothes all in a dash; But alas ! alas ! I sadly relate, With them she packs her sleeping room-mate.

But our chill was just a plain chill, And imagined was our fever; They scrubbed us and smoked us with utmost skill, And returned us as sound as ever. 226 This is Professor Stephen H. Moore, the greatest living authority on the great fundamental principles of human nature. Those who have been taking history under Professor Moore this year have been moderately active. If it be true, as Lord Bacon says, that much reading maketh a full man, the members of the history classes in Southwestern University ought to be the fullest set of mortals on earth. — be merciful to me in Hist.

They are not enjoying life as they should. I never came to a full realization of this fact until I got a dog. 1 don ' t see why I didn ' t think about il earlier in life. Now 1 can ' t keep house without one. My dog has a wonderful influence over me. 1 stepped on his tail the other day and he influenced me to step off. Be did il in a very forceful way. lie didn ' t waste any words about it. He just simply gorged himself with a piece of my anatomy from the calf of my left leg on the off side. 1 am now nursing that Leg while I write. if voui ' dog should happen to bite one of the small children, and the child should resent it by mauling him over the head with a hroomstick, slap (ho child over and caress the dog. Dogs are not to he imposed upon. The average dog of this country is a much abused animal. His lights are not respected any more than a common laborer ' s. 1 have owned quite a number of dogs in my life, and most of them met an un- timely end. They were cut down in the very Hush and bloom of doghood, as it were, by the unerring hand of Fate. Fate cuts down a good many tilings that would not otherwise be cut down if she would keep her nose out of the business. One of my dogs got disgusted and decided that life wasn ' t worth living and took a dose of hydrophobia. I tried to cure him of the habit, hut he r esented it and came very near putting an end to my earthly career. I hung one of my dogs in a Jit of anger and was sorry of it afterwards. 1 let him hang all night. Several times during the night, I stole out and took a look at him. The gentle breezes were monkeying with his little body — swinging it to and fro in the moonlight. His little eyes were bulging out of their sockets and seemed to be staring down upon me in a reproachful tone of voice. 1 took him down the next morning and handed him over to the city plrysicians to experiment on. That little dog went out of my life and left an aching void this world can never fill. Hid you ever hear of such (log-gone luck? H. E. A. WRITTEN BY A HISTORY STUDENT, 1 :30 A. M.

Dear Sir: Today we received Group SU111, in which we find two photos, one labelled E. Smith, and one labelled N. Smith, both for the basketball group. Now, these pictures look just alike to us, so we infer you have made an error and sent two pictures of the same Smith. Please forward the other picture as soon as possible, and don ' t forget to mark on it whether it is E. Smith or X. Smith, or let us know whether the one we have is E. Smith, or whether the one you are to send is N. Smith, or vice versa, so that we may in some way ascertain which is E. Smith and which is N. Smith, and thus not put E. Smith ' s picture where N. Smith ' s ought to be, or X. Smith ' s picture where E. Smith ' s ought to be, or, in other words, in order that both Smith ' s pictures may go just where the Smith pictures ought to.

We invite all accounts, large and small. 240 nstoers to Corrcspontients- (copied from the weekly bray, and here reprinted for the valuable information they contain.) J. R. Griffin — Your contribution was received, but we decline to publish it, on account of its evident Shakespearean authorship. Especially is this true of the passage, The bullfrog sang his jocund, festive lay, And all of nature seemed so glad and gay. No, J. R., give us something original, and don ' t send us poetry pilfered from men greater than yourself. You may make good on your own hook, but certainly not on Shakespeare ' s. Dear Mb. Boutwell — To improve your complexion, try soap and water three times daily. Apply externally. If you get no relief, add to this potash and aqua regia and rub on with orange peelings. Take also one of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkim ' s Pink Pills for Pale People before each meal and a tablespoonful of Gilbert ' s shoe polish. I recommend a diligent use of the soap and water remedy. Yes, it is per- fectly proper to love your room-mate ' s sister. If she objects to cigars, try a pipe. W. L. Burgher — The following recipe has been found of value in removing surplus flesh : Watermelon rind, grated 27 pounds. White lead 1 pk. Shingle nails, sufficient to make a thin batter. Quinine to taste. Beat to a froth, and take at night before retiring. This mixture is guaran- teed to reduce the weight 3 pounds a week, and to remove facial blemishes. M. K. McLean — For raising cattle, the best results are generally obtained by the use of a hoisting derrick. With Ibis appliance we have known cattle to be raised 10 feet or more. It is especially advantageous in pulling the ox out of the ditch. Professor Moore — You are at fault in believing that Benjamin Franklin was assassinated by Patrick Henry. The dastardly deed was perpetrated by one Wm. Smith, who paid the penalty for bis crime at the rope ' s end. H. W. Gillette — We hardly know what matrimonal bureau to recommend, but you could probably get in touch with desirable parties by corresponding with J. jST. Lott, Georgetown, Texas, who has had much experience in matters of this ?ort. 241 Students and Friends of S. W. U. Spend your leisure moments looking over our Select Stock of Books, Stationery, Etc.

In our limited space it is impossible for us to give you the information necessary to the attainment of the lofty accomplishment to which you aspire, but we take pleasure in referring you to Bennv Baritone Bounds, who can give you all necessary information. H. 0. Metcalfe — As to the cranial enlargement from which you are suffer- ing, will say that this need cause you no uneasiness. It is common to boys of your age, and was never known to prove fatal. Miss Erma Smith — So you want to know what to do to counteract the report that you are married! Beally, Miss Smith, we scarcely know how to advise you authoritatively upon this matter, yet we can see what a disastrous effect such a report must have upon the throng of admirers about you. It rests mainly with your inside knowledge of the situation: if you think you still have the pick of the field, then deny the base slander; but, if all hope is lost and your standard is de- serted, our advice would be to make a public affirmation of the charge, thus en- abling vou to at least retire witli flying colors. Arthur Henderson — No, Dr. Allen does not give receptions every Tuesday evening. This was a very natural mistake on your part. Dozens of preparatory students have made the same mistake, and others probably will make it in the future. But it was a mistake, nevertheless. H. K. Aldredge — Yes, No. 12. boots are again coming into style, so there is yet hope for you to cut a dash in society. Dr. Leath — You are evidently laboring under a misapprehension in regard to the Henry Clay incident. The occurrencs was along these lines: In 1492 Henry Clay crossed the Delaware in freezing weather, wearing no clothing save three suits of worsted and a fur overcoat, During the passage he was frequently heard to exclaim Give me liberty or give me death! ' ' You are mistaken about his composing the Elegy in a Country Churchyard. The author of this poem was one G. Julius Ca?sar. C. T. Stone — Don ' t lie discouraged and want to go home just because the coach did not recognize your ability as a ball player. Possibly next year you will have a coach who will know more about baseball. ,1. P. PakIvMsii — In referring to your correspondence, will say thai we know of no remedy for a weak mind. But will refer you to Hon. S. W. Ward: probably he will be able to assist you. W. F. Wright — Wilbur, I would advise you to be careful bow many strings you try to pull at one time. Your best girl might catch on even though you onlv call at the other young lady ' s home and do not go out with her wry often. 243 .SU E. M.

Griffin — No, I do not think il would be best for you to try to get revenge in any way. If, as you say, the young lady has been accustomed to meet a Fresh- man at the door, it is quite natural that she would bring the bottle with tier from force of habit. W. E. Clark — It is impossible for us to prescribe for that tired Feeling- with which you say you are continually afflicted. It might be due to various causes, such as indigestion, a torpid liver, or a general debilitated condition of the system. We have known some cases that resulted from a chronic aversion to men- tal or physical exertion. We have also heard of people who were born tired. How- ever, we are sure that in your ease it is due to strenuous, continuous labor. Our advice to you is to be careful of your diet, take plenty of time away from your studies for exercise and recreation; by no means rise earlier than 4 o ' clock in the morning, avoid all worry and anxiety, and endeavor to take life less seriously; otherwise you may permanently injure your physical constitution. Ralph Bruce — Your communication received asking for our interpretation of the scriptural passage, flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven. We would rather not discuss passages where doctrinal points are involved. But will say that this passage would scarcely apply to you. Nothing is said concern- in£ skin and bones. Miss Fisher — In reference to your being troubled with your hair, will rec- ommend Tanlman ' s Tickling Tonic, a sure cure for a light head. Guaranteed to bring relief. Price, $1.00 per bottle. On sale at the Annex. J. Pi. Thurmond — You are indeed unfortunate. Your rival sets a pace you can not follow in sending the young lady five-pound boxes of candy. Notwithstand- ing your heart may be wrung well-nigh to breaking, our advice to you is to grace- fully retire from the field, and try your fortune elsewhere. Fifty Million — No. losing the debate was not your fault. You were un- fortunate in having incompetent colleagues. It is generally admitted that you made the speech of the occasion. Do not lie discouraged. Cultivate self-confi- dence and self-esteem and you are bound to succeed. Mr. Huckabee — We do not think that the fact that you have continuously and. regularlv accompanied the young lady to and from the University throughout the vear affords ground for a breach of promise suit, unless you have failed to give us other incriminating facts. Miss Beretta — No, we do not think the actions of young man in continually supplying you with pencil and paper need be taken seriously. Kveti if be imagines himself to lie in love with you. our advice to you is not to trust him too Ear. lie is young and inclined to fickleness in matters of (his kind. 245 R. J.

However, it would very probably add to the happiness and congeniality of your married life. Miss Norma Smith. — From the description that you have given us, you have the vital temperament. We judge the tall, blonde young man described to be of the mental temperament. A union of two people possessing these temperaments would in all probability be harmonious. Do not censure him too severely for his indiscretions, he will learn as he grows older. Miss Thomson — You say that the young man who asks for your heart and hand has loved twenty-seven different girls, and that you are somewhat in doubt as to whether his love for you will endure. Notwithstanding the fact that he has repeatedly asserted that he never knew what love was until he met you, he is not to be trusted. Our advice to you is, beware! Mr. Hughes Cody — After trying massages and various cosmetics, you still remain dissatisfied with your Facial appearance. There are some cases that the best of remedies can not cure. The irregularities of your physiognomy are very probably constitutional and too deep-seated to be reached. Miss Kate Fiser — Your nance has a marked indisposition to physical activ- ity which you fear will not he conducive to your conjugal felicity. As a remedy, we recommend a vigorous use of the other end of the broom, together with a con- tinual exercise of that unruly member which your sex is so capable of wielding. Miss Landry — A young man gives x — x as bis signature, and you are puzzled as to its meaning. We are not authority on questions of mathematics; however, we see no difficulty in the solution of this problem. A ' — x is equivalent to nothing. Miss Minnie Lee Taulman — A freshman has alienated the affections of your love and you are desirous to know if there are any means by which you may seek redress. The young man is under age and irresponsible. Our advice to you is to give the matter no attention. Willie may yet see the error of his way, and return to his former love. F. M. Eichardson — In our opinion, it would not be best to put in your application yet, Mr. Bryan will probably not select his cabinet for several months to come. We do not think that your having been Chairman of the University Re- publican Committee necessarily debars you from a seat in the Bryan banc! wagon. J. 0. Leath — In reply to yours of recent date, will say that a gentleman of thirty-five might properly marry a young lady of eighteen, provided, of course, he is able to get her consent. Yes, we think a preacher would be acting wisely in getting an accomplished church organist for a wife. 247 outJjtorstcnt ®nitm:0tt£ 45eorgetoton, Cetas Projected by the First Methodist Educational Convention of Texas.

Of course, his being an A. M. grad. makes the offense more serious, hut his youth ami inexperience would plead trumpet tongued against your ease. L. D. Hawkins — I was somewhat surprised to receive an epistolary com- munication from one occupying such an honored position in the social, political, •financial, commercial, religious, and scholastic world, especially considering the humble position that one of my meager scientific knowledge and limited intel- lectual ability must ever necessarily continue to occupy in the great realms of politics and high finance. The first advice I will give you in regard to speaking- is, learn how to speak. In quoting any greal author do not say, There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to Congress, hut, if not taken at said flood leads to the State penitentiary. In speaking to an intelligent audience, always remember Cod ' s latest and most successful attempt to bring heaven to earth. Notice — Girls, my wife is not jealous at all. 30 vim need not lie afraid of me. W. H. Nelson. Mr. Ci-ias. Wilson — Your check for services rendered to hand. Thanks. Find answers to your questions below. It is perfectly harmless to work your professors and talk to the lady. By all means see her each day at prayers, if but for a word. No, explain to her that you don ' t love the other girl, and if she cares for you she will believe you. If it is positively against the lady ' s wishes, you had hotter cut out baseball. It will show her you are devoted. No, red hair (or golden, as you styled it) is not always a sign of a fierce temper. As a general rule, it is. Better investigate. Correspond with her mother and take her advice. Your motto to love but one and he con- stant is an excellent one.
