iS.COLTWMfc, PUBLMH D DY THt ATHLETIC A5S0CIADI OF ;  ihh weston mmm y; GEORGETOWN, TEX V5. VOLUME VI 1 )0 ) (1) D. H. Snyder (2 J. W. Snyder D. H. SNYDER and]. W. SNYDER TT AVE for a number of years lived in Georgetown, having moved here in the early days of the history of Southwestern University. Their social and moral influence, wise and sympathetic counsel on the Board of Trustees, and most liberal financial support, have rendered incalculable service to Southwestern University, and indelibly engraven their names on the pages of her history and the hearts of her friends. The rise and early growth of Southwestern University perhaps would have been all but impossible without the support of these two friends of her childhood. To them this volume is most gratefully and affectionately dedicated. @ 05 3Oh GREETING N THE preparation of Volume VI of The Sou ' westee, our motto has been to do our best to offer to our friends a book that lowers not the ideal of the past, and that is in keeping with the dignity and standing of Southwest- ern University. It is for you to judge as to whether our ideal have been at- tained. We hope that you will give credit to whatever merit you may find in this volume, and will cover its defects with a mantle of charity. With all its faults, this volume represents much work and care, and its compilation and arrangement have been to us a real joy and pride. We trust that you will always preserve your copy, and, as from time to time you peruse its pages, you can live again in school the glorious year of which it will remind you. We have tried to combine in one volume a picture of the entire University and every phase of school life, and to deal justly with one and all. Whatever of success we have attained is due to the hearty cooperation of the entire student body. Nobody has ki ocked; nobody, when called on, has failed to lend a helping hand. ®h, that mine Aitarsnrp had written a 35nnk! ,t CONTENTS Advertisements 379 Alamo Society 106 Alethean Society 130 Alpha Delpha Phi 163 Annex Reception Club 201 Art 230 Athletics 266 Athletic Association 269 Base Ball 289 Basket Ball 309 Board of Publication 10 Board of Trustees 16 Bulletin 219 Calendar 12 Chicken Club 198 Class of 1876 40 Clio Society 124 Clubs 185 Coach 272 Conservatory 222 Coronal Club 186 Council of Honor 182 Faculty 17 Fitting School 252 Five Hundred or Bust Club 187 Foot Ball 273 Four Prettiest Girls 202 Frank Club 191 Fraternities 141 Freshman Academic 93 Freshman Medicine 242 Goodness Personified 191 Grinds 363 Guess Who 199 Gymnasium 312 Junior Academic 75 Junior Barbs 207 Junior Medicine 238 Junior Pharmacy 246 Kappa Alpha 143 Kappa Lambda 248 Kappa Sigma 151 Lawyers ' Club 188 Library 219 Literary Societies 105 Literature 317 Mac Club 190 Magazine 212 Medical College 232 Megaphone 214 Moody Club 196 New Girl of ' 10 197 Non- Fraternity Groups 205 Oratorical Association 137 Pan- Hellenic Council 154 Phi Delta Theta 147 Phi Mu 167 Prohibition League 180 Publications 209 Sam Houston Society 261 San Jacinto Society 114 Senior 217 Senior Academic 43 Senior Barbs 206 Senior Medicine 235 Senior Pharmacy 244 Sigma Sigma Sigma 155 Sophomore Academic 85 Sophomore Barbs 208 Sophomore Medicine 240 Southwestern University 14 Southwestern University Glee Club 225 Southwestern LTniversity Orchestra . . . .228 Sou ' wester 211 Student Assistants 39 Students ' Association 181 Students ' Ministerial Association 178 Student Organizations 171 Student Volunteer Band 176 Sub-Freshman Class . . .

This educational movement marked the first effort of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Texas, in behalf of Christian education, and was inspired by Martin Euter, D. D. For about ten years from the date of its charter, Ruterville was operated as a Metho- dist school. McKenzie College, located near Clarksville, Red River county, had its beginning in 1841, but was not chartered un- til 1848. It had a remarkable history of c ontinuous prosperity, having enrolled more than 300 pupils per session and drawn patronage from all parts of the state. Rev. J. W. P. McKenzie, A. M., D. D., was its only president. The school was closed in 1872. Wesleyan College, located at San Augustine, was chartered January 16, 1844, and was soon destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. Soule University, located at Chappell Hill, was chartered in 1856. It barely survived the war between the States, and was the only Methodist institution in Texas devoted to higher learning when Southwestern Uni- versity was opened at Georgetown in 1873. It closed as soon as South- western University was opened, and the chartered rights of Ruterville College, McKenzie College, Wesleyan College, and Soule University were all conferred on Southwestern University. The founding of Southwestern University was due to Rev. Francis Asbury Mood. He began in 1873 with thirty-three students, three pro- fessors, and property valued at $63,000. He died in 1884, the student body having increased to three hundred, the faculty to fifteen professors and teachers. Dr. Mood was succeeded by Rev. J. W. Heidt, D. D., as regent, during whose administration Giddings Hall and the Ladies ' Annex were added. From 1889 to 1897, Rev. J. H. McLean, D. D., was regent, and the University enjoyed a period of uniform progress. In 1898, R. S. Hyer, A. M., L. L. D., became regent. His adminis- tration marks the greatest advancement on all lines. The present Main Building has been added; the Ladies ' Annex has been enlarged; the library has been increased to 13,000 volumes; six new chairs have been established; the endowment has grown to about $140,000; the requirements for degrees have been raised fully a year; the Summer School of Theol- ogy has been added; in June, 1903, the Medical Department at Dallas was inaugurated; and in September, 1908, Mood Hall, a dormitory that cost $65,000, was opened for men. The entire buildings and grounds now aggregate a half million dollars, and the students numbered in 1908, 1057. Three hundred and four of these were academic students of collegiate grade, the largest number of such students ever in any college or univer- sity in Southern Methodism. 15 BOARD OF TRUSTEES M. M.

He re- ceived his collegiate training at Emory College, being a first honor graduate, and taking the A. M. degree from that institution. In 1900, Central College, Fayetteville, Mis- souri, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1882, a short while after his graduation from Emory, he came to Southwestern University and became Professor of Science. Since his coming, professors of chemistry and biology have been added, and now Dr. Hyer is Pro- fessor of Physics and has an assistant in that depart- ment. He has attracted many of the brightest students to his department, and now some of these have become dis- tinguished in the field of science. He is recognized as one of the leading scientists in the South. He is at present in the full power of his manhood and is giving his life to the institution he so much loves. Sev- eral times he has received strong inducements to labor in other fields, but in every instance has refused to leave, preferring to stay at Southwestern and make men rather than go somewhere else to make money. As a disciplina- rian, he cannot be surpassed, always ruling with dignity and firmness and kindness. His personality commands the highest confidence and respect of the entire student body. In 1898 he became Regent, and in 1906 his official title was changed to President. He is building on the sure foundation laid by his predecessors in office, and his ad- ministration of eleven years marks the period of greatest progress in the history of Southwestern University. 1 9 20 C. C. CODY, A. M., Ph. D., Dean PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS Claud Carr Cody is a Georgian by birth. In 1875 he was graduated from Emory College with highest honors. In 1878 he received the A. M. degree from the same insti- tution; and after a few years of successful teaching, his alma mater honored him with the Ph. D. degree. In 1879, he was elected Professor of Mathematics in Southwestern University, and ever since has held that position. He is the senior member of the faculty and is believed to be the senior college professor in Texas. He having been with Southwestern during the most of her history, it is difficult to conceive how we could have got along without him. The impress of his sinless heart and gentle yet firm hand is indelibly written in every step of Southwestern ' s progress and in the lives of all her gradu- ates. It is not unusual to hear men say that they owe what they are to Prof. Cody and the Lord. As a teacher, a friend, and a citizen, who could be loved better than Pro- fessor Cody? He has held the office of Secretary of the Faculty, Chairman of the Faculty, President of the Ladies ' Annex, Manager of Giddings Hall, and Dean of the Summer schools. At present he is Dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts, this office having been created and conferred on him in 1906. He is also Secretary of the local Executive Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the Board and performs an important service in handling the finan- ces of the University. 21 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Ryland Fletcher Young, A.

F shall not say, as with most class histories of the Senior Classes, that we are truly a wonderful class; have enjoyed our work; and are now sorry to leave. I state here some facts in our case. Read them and then judge us. Fact I. Only one other class has had more in number than we have. And they exceeded us only one member. Fact II. This is the first class to contain more Art and also Violin graduates than Pianoforte graduates. Fact III. Our Arbor Day was the first of its kind to be celebrated in Southwestern University. Fact IV. The Ph. B. degree will be given for the last time to South- western graduates this year. Fact V. There has been less of Cupid ' s darts passing between mem- bers of this class. Therefore we have had more time for -study. Fact VI. Examine our records and prove this statement: Our class has held the record of receiving more Distinctions than any other class for years back. Fact VII. Last, but not least, we are the only Seniors who have tried to be good to the Underclassmen in any way. Proved : By our ask- ing for them a holiday on our Arbor Day. We refrain from adding more than the mystic number of seven. Do these not make us renowned? Answer, ye who are more so. 44 SENIOR ACADEMIC COLOR True blue FLOWER ' Forget-us-not MOTTO ' Let us be gone but not forgotten CLASS OFFICERS R. H. Brown V. Ray Hyer Jewel Fleming . Mabel Taylor . S.

One choice tree was selected which we planted with our own hands, each member participating in shoveling dirt. Dr. Hyer left it to the wishes of the class as to whether or not the whole school should be given a half holiday to witness the ceremonies. Remembering the many courtesies which from time to time we had received from the Underclassmen, we granted them the privilege of enjoying the half holiday with us. After the planting of the tree, we assembled in Dr. Hyer ' s lecture room, from which we soon emerged forming a funeral procession to the 64 grave of Ganot, while the Freshmen were chanting, There ' s a Holl in the Bottom of the Sea. J. O. Leath delivered an address, picturing the character of the deceased, and bringing forth groans and tears from its many friends. B. B. Hall read a short funeral service, after which J. F. Simpson delivered a funeral oration, proving himself not inferior to his prototype, Mark Antony. All were very much affected as they took the last look at the deceased, some mourner sobbing with genuine emotion, How natural he looks! Dr. Allen was heard to remark: 1 don ' t understand how some of them are so deeply moved, they having been so slightly acquainted with the deceased. At the close of the cer- emony, Dr. Hyer, the chief mourner, noticing on the casket the inscrip- tion, gone but not forgotten, remarked that on the day of examination it was usually the case that the Seniors were gone and Ganot was forgot- ten. Wishing to allay the grief of the Freshmen, who seemed to be of the tribe of the Sadducees, he hinted something about the resurrection. ANNUAL PICNIC OF THE CLASS OF ' 08 65 AN ACROSTIC B stands for Brown, our president; He works for everything without a dent. E means Miss Edens, as anyone can see.

I is for Ego; each individual member Is worth justice and honor, all till Juvember. N stands for nothing, strange, yet ' tis true, For now, you can see, we are just about through. E means elected, the whole Senior Class, To do extra good work for plenty of cash. 67 ■a 5 _. ti £ w pp ts a £ a a 1-1 ° k rt — 3 S M M ® « fc (H M O O £ H H « 4 a S a l o  -. — ' ° S fe IS -c «!

Be it known in obedience to the desires of the testators, all the available property of attendants of the University, assessed and incorporated, moneys, plates, all jacks, ponies, graduating orations and theses, shall be collected and retained. Said property shall be converted into specie and constitute a fund to furnish the purchase money for the bequests which the class of noughty nine bequeaths. Said bequests shall be secured within thirty days from probation of this testament. Item I. To Arthur L. Ayers, we hereby will and bequeath one boy ' s Pride pocket-knife. With careful handling it will assist him materially in Whittling. Item II. To D. F. Abney, we leave the latest book on the Art of Love Making and the Affinity Theory. After much contemplation, we are sure he can readily find his Affinity. Item III. e bequeath unto our President, R. H. Brown, Madame Dumont ' s Treatise on the Pompadour. Careful hints are given con- cerning the nurturing, training, and raising of the successful pompadour. With careful attention to instructions, he will eventually reach perfec- tion. Item IV. To D. W. Carter, tenderly known as Wife, we bequeath a fruit farm with the hope that his love for delicious peaches and other fruits may never grow cold — especially after dark. Item V. To Thomas Hughes Cody, commonly known as Pug, we bequeath one Eolian Hand Organ, so that he may further his musical ear. By closely listening to its mellifluent notes, we hope he may be- come acquainted with all the new ones, such as In the Good Old Sum- mertime. Item VI. We hereby bequeath the sum of three thousand dollars to R. B. Curry, which he shall use in securing an efficient coach for the cul- tivation of his voice. Curry has a beautiful voice now, and proper train- 70 ing may prevent the bursting of his jugular, when he reaches after the high ones. Item VII. To Mr. Deal we bequeath one pot of Boston Baked Beans with a Manual for use of same, an d one ounce of Lobster Salad. Item VIII. We leave to L. E. Dudley one Victor Talking Ma- chine, ' ' one Farmer ' s Almanac Joke Book, and one volume of Prof. Tyro ' s Dream Book. Item IX. To Chauncy Depew Ferguson we will sections of the plas- ter from the Oratory I room, said walls having echoed for two successive years with flights of his weird oratorical attempts. Item X. L. I. Griffin shall be given one half dozen copies of Libra- ry Rules with the rule concerning no talking in the Library underscored. This for fear he hasn ' t read them. Item XL In the Bachelor ' s Friend in the noughty eight Sou ' - wester, it was stated that Mr. F. D. Caveness had given a sum of money to endow and build a home for the Old Maids and Old Bachelors of the S. U. Alumni. We therefore bequeath a petition to this home to be signed by the entire class for Mr. B. B. Hall, for we are sure he will wish to make use of it. Item XII. Bequeathed to C. S. Harkey is a book of sermons and a muzzle. Item XIII. We bequeath to W. 0. House one doz. sacks of flour, for one cannot live always on love, and in addition thirteen copies of Ella Wheeler Wilcox ' s pretty little tale How to be Happy Though Married. Item XIV. Will we to J. F. Isbell one pair of Dr. McCarty ' s best dental products consisting of one complete set of false teeth, so that he may masticate the mess hall steak more easily. Item XV. To J. O. Leath, affectionately dubbed Doc, we leave the methods and brains of Turner Vanhoose. Item XVI. To G. A. Long we entrust one barrel of Coca-Gola, in the belief that he may some day overcome his acquired aversion to so healthful and invigorating a beverage. Item XVII. To Hunter O. Metcalf, we leave everything that is left over, regretting that we were forced to disappoint his expectation of having everything in the first place. Item XVIII. We bequeath to J. F. Parrish the prettiest and best of his young lady admirers. May he have no trouble in deciding. 7 1 Item XIX. Leave we to Leon W. Rogers one set of directions How to Become a Politician, also one barrel of dried apples and two kegs of hot water, so that his body may spread out more, before going to seed. Item XX. To S. G. Sanders as remuneration for three copies of his notable addition to ten cent fiction, How I Keep the Ladies Off, we leave the sum of thirty cents. Item XXI. For J. F. Simpson we wish made a handsomel y bound Blue Back Speller so that it may aid him in his editorial reviews. Item XXII. We bequeath to T. R. Stanford one hundred Beef cattle, with the admonition that he pursue his studies further in his favor- ite line, that of perpetually Beefing. With true research and careful study he can easily become a star in his line. Item XXIII. To Love Starnes we leave the gas generator in the chemical laboratory, knowing that he can utilize its contents entirely in his Master ' s Thesis with a little fear of an explosion. Item XXIV. To the femininity of the class, who make up the better half in point of numbers and beauty, we bequeath success in love and mat- rimony. Item XXV. Last, but not least, to the Faculty of Southwestern, we bequeath our best wishes and our hopes for a greater Southwestern. As executors of this testament we hereby appoint Dr. John M. Cluck and Galoot Richardson. In witness whereof, we, members of the graduating class of 1909, of Southwestern University, have set hereunto our hand and seal this the fourteenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and nine, in George- town, County of Williamson, and State of Texas. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the class of noughty-nine of Southwestern as and for its last will and testament in presence of us, who, at their request, in presence of each other, have hereunto set our hands and seals as witnesses.

Is our prayer as we go ' way; For we love you, aye, we love you In the good, old-fashioned way. You ' ve nourished us, prepared us For the racking storms of life. You ' ve caused us lots of worry, Of trouble, and of strife. And anyhow we cherish you, And deep in our hearts lie Fond memories of you, old school, That will never, never die. No more shall some of us, old school, Come tripping up the stairs To chapel, and to sing the hymns, And say our morning prayers. No more shall we as students come To thy dear old class-rooms, Or see old Turner with his pans, His dusters and his broom. As you stand there alone, old school, A gray, deserted pile, We feel our eyes o ' erflow with tears, On our faces there ' s a smile. Again we pledge thy health, old school, As we face life ' s busy whirl, As we launch our barks upon the waves, And their silken sails unfurl. Farewell, farewell, old ' varsity, May long life and greatness be thine, May Fortune attend thy footsteps Is the wish of noughty-niue. A. l A. 73 -•-•fEi - „«r ' }.

This means that out of about two hundred and fifty Freshmen who start- ed toward a college degree three years ago, thirty are still on the way. Some dropped out because of circumstances over which they had no control, others became weary in well doing and wan- dered off to explore the pleasant fields along the wayside. Long and arduous has been our jour- b. v. com, Editor ney, and many, many times we have been re- minded of the fact, that man born of woman is of but a few days and striketh it roughly. Often, however, the pathway has been brightened by those joys which come to the heart of every college student. Just now we are thrilled with the thought that next year we shall enter into our inherit- ance, — the kingly domain of the Senior. Then life will be one glad, sweet song, and woe betide the goggle-eyed Freshman who dares to pre- sume upon our friendship. Now as to our lives after our college days are over, we are making no prophecies. If we were to paint our future in all the resplendent colors of the rainbow, and then fail to make good, some old knocker would say, I told you so. So we shall refrain from prophesying, and just wait and see what we shall see. E.V.Cole. 76 JUNIOR ACADEMIC MOTTO We ' re sure to win (dy) In nineteen ten COLORS Blue and Brown OFFICERS - F. M.

I ' d meet the trains both night and day To help the new ones out; I ' d show them where the board was best To make them good and stout. The catalog I ' d study well To help matriculate. I ' d expound each clause and sentence, too, Their rustic minds to sate. I ' d read between the lines to them The hidden thoughts and keys, In order that they may not fear The rough and billowy seas. I ' d show to them most all the Profs., That they might see and know The awful men, the Faculty, To whom they pay the dough. I ' d name to them the easy Profs. Of whom they could expect To find about a dozen snaps, Or as many as they might elect. The windy Profs. I ' d show them then, All those that like to make So many yarns that you get tired, But you know to laugh and shake. To Hades I would take them next That they might view the ground, Where Pluto with his hosts at hand, Would be sure to shoot them down. But most of all for these new ones That I could hope to do, Would be to bring from off my stack My jacks and note-books, too. The Grad receptions I ' d ne ' er attend; Generosity I ' d show. I ' d stay away and pay the bills And let the Juniors go. The Grad orations I ' d ne ' er orate, Nor try, I mean, you know. I ' d leave them off for evermore; They bore the Juniors so.

WALLING, Editor THE immortal Sophomores of Southwestern University are the refined and perfected products of a complete system of education- al evolution. Some have evoluted from the Fiery Furnace of our proud Prep, having been tried by fire and found in possession of the intrinsic element of intellectual durability. The evolution of others points to the arctic regions of the correlated institutions where they passed their Eskimoic period sliding their mental Sleighs in the Cold Snows of Ignorance. Still others have descended from the Highways and Hedges of the Savage High School, South western mis- sionaries having gone out and compelled them to come in and cure their cranium consumption by partaking of the sweet Fruit of Wisdom ' s Festivities. Finally, some have evoluted to Sophomore Civilization from their wanderings in the Wilderness of the sub-human kindergarten country school, where they spent their pre-man period on forked creeks and crooked rivers, feeding their immature minds on cocoanut milk. However they came, they all have come. Although it may be a fact that they have evoluted from a complexity of protoplasmic, sub-mi- croscopic, non-molecular mental abstractions, this fact renders them none the less wise in their present possession of wisdom, nor does it subtract from the supremacy of their destined goal ; for evolution is the way of Wisdom and the surest evidence of supreme destiny. The Voice of Prophecy affirms that the Sophomores are the rightful heirs of all the knowledge of all future ages. The whole of the Land of Learning justly belongs to them. There is, however, a Valley in Wisdom ' s Territory that is at the present intruded upon by two unworthy tribes called Juniors and Seniors. Prophetic Dogma declares that the Sopho- more Army shall ere long pass over into this Valley, redeem it from the pollution of these Parasites, and literally annihilate them from the very name of Knowledge.

And their Wisdom ' s gold glare, their Minds bright and rare, Give proof through the year that the Sophies are there. — Say, look on the Sophomore banner that waves O ' er the scenes of Southwestern these dear college days. And where go those Grads who so vaunting] y swore That their havoc of war in this wise institution Would rob us of learning ' s rich gems evermore! Their blood will wash out their foul footsteps ' pollution. No refuge can save the poor Senior slave From the darkness of Death and the gloom of the Grave. And the Sophomore banner in triumph still waves O ' er the scenes of Southwestern these dear college days. Oh, thus be it ever when Sophomores stand Between the green Fresh and the false upper-classes, Blest with vict ' ry and peace by our mental command, Praise to our Minds that have gained us our passes. Thengrad, yes we must, since the Faculty ' s just; And this be our motto: Our Wisdom We Trust. And the Sophomore banner in triumph still waves O ' er the scenes of Southwestern these dear college days. J. J. Walling. 92 93 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY BIRDS Earl Hupfor. Editor IX ' HILE passing by a field one clay, I saw a t ' arm- ' er bending over something- which seemed to be absorbing all of his attention. My curiosity got the best of me, and I climbed over the fence, and went to the scene of interest. To my surprise I found a large number of birdlings. The farmer was so in- tense in feeding them that he did not notice me for several minutes. I stood near and watched him perform his work of love, and noticed with what eagerness the birds held their mouths wide open to receive whatever he gave them. What faith in their benefactor ! When the farmer saw that he had a visitor, he looked on me with a smile that revealed a big heart, and a sympathy for nature ' s dependents; then he said : Every year when I plow my field, I disturb the nests of so many birds that it distresses me, and now I have adopted the plan to bring all of the birds here, and feed and care for them until they are strong enough to look out for themselves. I have had as many as three hundred here at one time, but they soon grow strong and fly away. I become attached to them, and I am always lonesome when they leave. It seems that these this year are better birdies than ever before, and I shall miss them when they are gone; and I know it will not be long before they will go. Yes, I could be spending my time in making more money, but I always feel that my time is well spent. Tears were in his eyes as I walked off, and I thought how like a college professor, spending his time in caring for his charges — the Freshmen; giving them the necessities they must get before launching into the work of upper classmen. And the birdies ! How like Freshmen they are ! Gathered together in this central place from all parts of the country, we are holding our mouths wide open, drinking in the many good things the professors are giving us. And our faith! We take whatever they give, knowing that they are trying to give us the best that is going. Yes, we Freshmen of 1909 are eager to gain all the good that is offered to us. We are eager to gain honors on our own merits, and not by cliques or wire-pulling; and we are eager to follow in the footsteps of our beloved professors, and build a character that will help us make the world better by our presence. With such eagerness, and determination, is there any need of giving a kaleidoscopic view of our class as it will be seen in the future?

I thought the rocks upon the shore All had ten sides or maybe more; I thought the very stepping stones Were parallelopipedons. Every tree was king or queen, Elizabeth and Charlemagne, And on each was carved his date And the reason he was great. Sitting on a mossy log, I met a wise and learned frog, Whose eyes were big as any saucer, And who quoted me from Chaucer. I thought the birds along the creek Sang their morning songs in Greek; And the lines of flying crows Formed sentences of Latin prose. I ate my lunch beside the stream ; ' Twas turkey, apricots and cream, Put up at Giddings Hall (no joke), I thought it must be — and awoke. E.

Cole, Editor T has been said that the Alamo had no messen- ger of defeat; neither has the Alamo Society. Not for the same reason, however. Not because we have all fit, bled and died on the battle- field, and there has been no one left to tell the tale, but because we have never been defeated. Oh, we will admit that we have had temporary set-backs, and there have been times when a certain bunch of intellectual giants(f) thought that they had put the e erlasting Kibosh on us; but as soon as the smoke of the battle had cleared away, they found us rising up in their pathway as formidable as ever. A genuine defeat signifies that the vanquished has either made a complete surrender or has been slain on the battlefield. Neither one nor the other has ever happened to the Alamo Society. We have never surrendered, and we are still able to be up and about. A certain scribe who wrote a glowing account last year of the prowess of the San Jacinto Society said among other things that they had the coon skins to show for what they had done. Now we are not bragging about the number of coon skins we have, for we haven ' t any. We make no claim to any such color scheme as that. But if any body else desires to lay claim to an epidermis of that kind, far be it from us to deny him that pleasure. This year we have been advancing along all lines. We have upheld our standard, and have maintained our integrity. We are gird- ing ourselves for the battle at commencement. We expect to go up at that time with Rogers and Huckabee and make the San Jacs look like a big zero with the vine knocked off. E. V. Cole. 1 12 ORATORY PJEMOSTHENES, thou standest in the dawn Of kingly men, who, though ne ' er crowned, deserved To be. Thou art not noted for thy brawn; But greater power,— a soul that never swerved From youth ' s ideal. Men call thee orator, and speak as though This were a gift that training brought to thee; But, first of all, thou wast infused so With one great message that it could not be But spoken out. Thou hadst one message; thou believedst was true. Thy training gave thee perfect power to tell The thought that thee inspired. Heaven make me sure To kuow the truth, believe it true, and well To train my tongue. And then, and only then, will men enroll My name among those who have power to set Men unto action.

The first officers elected were: J. W. Blake, President; A. S. John, Vice- President; Jas. Campbell, Critic; B. D. Dashiell, Recording Secretary; and L. S. Chamberlain, Censor Mormn. On April, 30, 1875, the society held its first regular meeting. The first question debated was, Does the Pulpit Afford a Wider Field than the Bar for the Display of Eloquence. Jas. Camp- bell and J. L. Caruthers represented the affirm- ative; L. S. Chamberlain and L. B. Clark, the negative. On April 21, 1876, the first anniversary of the society, the first intermediate debate was held in the Old University Chapel. A. S. John and J. B. Posey; B. D. Dashiell and W. A. Bowen, were the debaters. Soon a debate to be held on the ensuing commence- ment was arranged with the Alamo Society. R. H. Burney and J. J. Scott were San Jacinto ' s first commencement debaters. There is no rec- ord of the question discussed, nor which society won the decision. This completed the first year of the society, and it was indeed a successful one. In later years, the members of San Jacinto have not allowed the record established by the founders to be dimmed. Many of the most prominent graduates of Southwestern University have been San Jacinto men. Look- ing over the old rolls of the society, we find the names of men who are now prominent lawyers, distinguished legislators, noted ministers, college professors, and even a college president. In the thirty-two public debates held with the Alamo Society, San Jacinto has been the victor in twenty of them. Of the oratorical contests, San Jacinto has won ten, and the Alamo five. This year the society has had an unusually successful year. She has the largest membership of any previous year. The members, as a whole, have taken great interest in the welfare of the society. Our commencement debaters this year are Messrs. W. C. House and W. B. McMillan. They have had a large experience as debaters, and will certainly make it interesting for the Gentlemen across the hall. 120 1. J. F. Dobie 4. J. G. Harrell MARSHALS 2. N. Hollingsworth 5 R. N.

For, according to any Clio ' s opinion, the space that would be required to mention only a few of her merits and successes would amount to at least a small volume. But realizing that brev- ity is essential, the writer can call special attention to but few points of interest concerning the Soci- ety. The year 1909 marks the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the Clio Society. As Clios, we look back with pride upon the work that has been done during this period of time. We feel that such a record as the Society has made, and that the ad- vanced progress of which we can now boast, is due to the fact that, from the time of its organization, the Clio Literary Society has represented a body of girls who appreciated, in the fullest sense, the purpose for which the society was organized. But, while we are reviewing the successes accomplished in the past, we think that it is not altogether out of place to mention especially the efficient work done by the Society during the present year. Throughout all this year each member has striven to bring about the greatest possible interest in the undertakings of the Society. And it is true that these efforts have been rewarded to a remarkable extent. It can be said with confi- dence at least, that the good results of the work of this year have, for the coming years, made possible even greater success than has ever yet been realized in the history of the Clio Society. Whether this is true or not, our purpose has been, is now, and ever shall be, to verify, in the strongest sense of the word, all that is implied in our motto: — We fly with our own wings. — Society Editor. 128 PSYCHE TMMORTAL Psyche, thou hast still thy charms. - • Had Jupiter not made thee live for aye, Our spirits would. Thy radiant self transforms Our leaden metal into golden rays Of cheerfulness. Thy beauty roused the envious queen of love To have thee pine for a wretch unworthy of thee; But Cupid, on his mission from above, Enamored of thy grace, was soon not free To obey command. Oh! then, fair nymph, what can we mortals do But adore, when thy beauty intervened The counsel of the Gods, and joined to you The God of Love in wedlock — sight ne ' er seen On earth before. ' Tis meet that thou be married to thy love, And, never dying, live with him fore ' er On high Olympus, veiled by clouds above From vulgar gaze, surrounded by the cheer Of heavenly throngs. Dear nymph, since thou thyself forbear ' st to live With us, we worship thy embodied soul In others fair, whom gracious heaven gives. These train themselves, become a perfect whole Of grace and love. j. o.

In those days, the Aletheans retained a read- ing room in which were found many periodicals and magazines, one daily paper, and several church papers. They had a fairly well stocked library which has been greatly improved year after year, and of which we now are justly proud. Their tastes and needs were then more simple than ours now, and in their wildest flights of fancy they never dreamed of a piano and a carved desk and chair, both of which we have now. Now Alethean is more up-to-date, taking on more of the form of a club with a year book and an outline of study; this year our study has been United States History with several special lessons thrown in. Through Prof. Tinsley ' s kindness we have been able to reinstat e open sessions, which consist of a short program and an informal reception, and are thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the beginning of the term 1908- ' 09, there were only fifteen of the old members back; now our enrollment is fifty-eight. This year it has been the purpose of the Alethean Society to make Alethean dear to the hearts of its members. Alethean, like all great things, had a small beginning; but like Mr. Finny ' s turnip, she grew and she grew, and who can tell how much influence she has exerted over the girls who have been and are now her faithful members ! In the words of the dear old cheerful gentleman: Here ' s to Alethean, may she live long and prosper. Society Editor. 1 34 INTER-SOCIETY RELATIONS COMMITTEE Mildred Mitchell 4. Frank Haag 2.

Thou art the fairest of the fair; No other is so sweet, so dainty, or so rare; Thou art the pride of every S. U. boy; To us thou art our hope and radiant joy; And without thee we would forever be Lonely, discouraged, and melancholy. In morning ' , when in chapel we assemble, Thy smile ' s an inspiration to us through the day; The memory of that smile from the girl so nimble Keeps us cheerful as we journey on our way. Southwestern Girl ! Thou art so like a dewey rose, Fresh in thy beauty, graceful in thy pose; Red are thy cheeks, and wavy is thy hair; Thy presence is a pleasure everywhere; Liike the rose bud, thou art smiling in the morning; The trials of a school girl thou art scorning. At noontide, when again we greet thee, Our heads and hearts are in a whirl. In thy presence it is a joy to be — Just to feast our eyes on thee, our pearl. Southwestern Girl! Thou art a jewel indeed. For you to seek a lover there ' s no need; For we Southwestern boys are always true, And all of us are now in love with you. With thee we could forever happy be, Although we lived in the wilds, or across the sea. And when again we meet in after years, If perchance thou art not our wife, We ' ll be so glad to remember that, with fears, Thou wast our sweetheart in Southwestern life.

U. , re- membeiing their pleasant Coronal days decided to organize a Coronal Club in order that all the C. I.-S. U. students might the better i work together for the glory of Coronal at Southwestern. The club was reorganized in the fall of 1!)08 with Earl Huff or as president. The following are the members of the club : Beretta, Alice Sells, Monroe Graham, Abbie Simpson, Fisher Griffin, Mamie Simons, Lowe Handt, L . G. Stanford, Sue Huffor, Earl Sutherland, John Reedy, J.

Dudley THE Lawyers ' Club was organized this year by some of the students who intend to become lawyers. So far as we know it is the first organization of its kind that has ever existed here. May it serve as a model for many future ones. The Club meets at various places at irregular intervals, in the ca- pacity of a moot-court. At such sessions a judge, clerk, sheriff (some have irreverently sought to designate this officer by the name of constable or some other cheap cognomen), two attorneys for the prosecution, and two for the defense are chosen. Would that space were here allowed us to repeat such eloquent words as have been uttered in these courts assembled ! Would that we might here write down for future generations of lawyers to consult such learned and logical decisions as have been rendered by our justices! But such cannot be. If however you are really anxious to hear more concerning these things, go to one T. A. Tunnell, and he will tell you much. Our future policy will be as it has been in the past. We propose to undergo no difficult and tedious labors where— and in most cases this is possible — we can, by our statesman-like maneuvers et eloquentia mirabili, succeed. With the outside world, which stands, seemingly, in awe of our majesty and power, we propose to deal, as we have ever dealt— in the name of justice, equity, and honor. Among ourselves we propose to be sociable, and by conversing and studying, not books but the ways of man, to grow in wisdom and power. Then: — Here ' s a smoke, to the Lawyers 1 Club, And one to our sweet-hearts too; May we all live happy, be eloquent, And they be loyal and true. j. p.

Frank Parrish V 7 ' HEN we considered the lofty lineage from which we have sprung- — no less a personage than Charlemagne being our ancestor; when we reflected upon what a powerful factor in civilizing the world our race lias been ; and when furthermore we realized what a source of benefit to our- selves and of interest to the public our organization would be, then we, the Franks of Southwestern University, did rise up in our glory and organize The Frank Club. As can be seen by the roll, the descendants of our great race are not numerous in this institution. Nevertheless, we who are here hold a high place in the estimation of those whom we have helped to civilize. We attribute this to two things: first of all, to that well known Frankish trait, love and admiration for the women; secondly, to the Frank manner witli which we treat all. Some may think it strange that we should in such a Frank manner reveal the secrets of our success. We have done it for your sake. Even though you can never bear the proud and honorable appellation of Frank, you can to some extent, at least, cultivate these fundamental characteristics of the Franks. .1. F.

Allen, Chairman Prof. A. S. Pegues Prof. S. H. Moore T N the early years of the University, there were so many things that ■ needed to grow and grow fast that the library had small attention, though we had a room set apart in the old building and called it the libra- ry. On the shelves were some two or three hundred books. About nine or ten years ago it began to grow; our friends became interested; and gifts began to come in. Rev. Mr. Thrall, F. T. Mitchell, Mr. Finley, Mrs. Viola Hunt, and others made donations in a short space of time. When the University moved into the new building, the library had quarters on the first floor. This soon proved inadequate, and three rooms on the third floor were set apart. And now, after occupying these three rooms for sev- en years, we have found it necessary to secure two more rooms, which are used only as stack rooms, and still the librarian is crying for more room. The library force has been ably assisted by Mr. J. 0. Leath and Mr. E. S. Sansom, student assistants, thus relieving the librarian of much necessary small detail work. With the accession of the Alamo So- ciety library of 2,000 volumes, the San Jacinto Society library having been brought in a few years previously, and the new books purchased this year for the history, English, and theological departments, the number of vol- umes in the library, not including pamphlets, is something near 10,000. On the tables of the reading rooms are found 100 of the leading maga- zines of the day touching on every subject, and the two daily papers are worn out in the service of the students. The student body is more a nd more realizing the value of original research, and the library is more and more popular. Mes. M. McKennon, lAh. Bbe BULLETIN T V HE BULLETIN of Southwestern University is a quarterly peri- ■ - odical that has been issued regularly since September, 1902. The purpose of the Bulletin is to advertise to the public the advantages offer- ed at Southwestern University, to bring to the friends of Christian edu- cation definite information of the work and needs of this institution, as well as to convey regularly to the alumni and former students items of news that will be of personal interest to them, either in reference to some work that is being done by some former student or some forward step ta- ken by the institution. The Bulletin is published by the faculty, and will be mailed without charge to anyone requesting it. 2 1 9 ■ Mir ' ' ™ ' ' ■ ' ■ ■ ' ■ ' ■ ' r ' ' ■ ' ' ■ ' 220 22 1 THE CONSERVATORY FACULTY Miss Jane C.

Definition: An acute contagious disease, characterized by a violent disturbance of the cardiac center. Complications: Endo peri myocarditis and a contraction of the Lava- tor Labii Superior Aliqui Nasi. Marriage is also one of the most likely complications. Etiology : Age plays little part, although it is most common between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, occurring before the age of fifteen is called Puppy Love. Sex: Female more prone, due to their larger heart, neither sex immune. Climate plays no part. Season: As Spring advances, the specific Bacillus manifests itself by degrees. Occupation: College students and others with nothing to occupy their minds afford good culture media. Confectionery clerks and soda water jerkers come in for their share. The disease is epidemic at Summer re- sorts and picnics. Exciting Cause: Cupid Bacillus. (A recent discovery due to the long individual research on the part of Dr. E. W. Loomis.) Morbid Anatomy : Few discoveries have been made along this line, as death from the disease is rare. At such times as death has occurred, it has been due to complications such as Phenol, Chloroform, or to Asphyxia by drowning. Symptoms : The incubation period is very variable; sometimes it seems to take place spontaneously; at other times there maybe a period of months before any accurate symptoms develop. In the female the symp- toms take the form of Rats, Puffs, Drug Store Complexions and Straw- berry lips; and if the disease is far enough advanced, artificial anatomy 250 may sometimes be recognized. At this stage there is a peculiar aversion to dish water or house work of any kind. This latter symptom, in most cases, renders the diagnosis easy. In the male the symptoms do not differ materially; hair parted in the middle, chewing gum in the pockets, constant smile, high- ly polished shoes, or a slight noise caused by the rustling of a skirt- setting the male aquiver — all these symptoms go toward making a posi- tive diagnosis. Diagnosis: Easy to the most inexperienced. Prognosis: Entire recovery or Matrimony is the result. One attack does not confer immunity. However, old maids and bachelors are said never to suffer with this affliction. (Likewise Medical students, especial- ly Sophs.) Treatment : No known specific: so the only recourse is to treat on the expectant plan. In the early stages chocolate is good, followed promptly by a trip to the theater. Dr. Allen G. Terrell recommends the following: Huyler ' s chocolates in pound boxes, one pound every other day until further development. A prescription highly recommended by Dr. John Black, and used by him with success on several occasions is as follows : B Chloride of Bliss (mild) Oz 11 Sugar Dr 1 Tincture of Vinegar m v Syrup of Ginger .... Dr 111 Concentrated essence of Kisses . Qs.

In view of these facts, I shall proceed in a cautions manner to tell you a few things to which I suppose the class will not object. In some time past, it seems to have been in- stilled in the minds of the upper classmen, and others, that the Preps were not of the highest or- der of intelligence, or that they were lacking otherwise. I would relieve everyone of such an j. o. webb, Editor. erroneous idea. The boys of the class are of the highest type, although they may not show it. Their gallantry cannot be questioned, because I have known them even to carry books and parasols for the Annex Girls! Because one boy of the class went to an Annex Re- ception at 6: 30 sharp, and another wished to elect the president of the class by declamation, is no reflection on their intellect, but shows that they are apt to labor under false impressions. But the girls are the pride of the class. Even the dignified Grads come down to the Prep for the purpose of peeping around the door-facing at them. Another trait of this class is its industry. Some of its members have been known to sit up even until 9:30 and to pore most vigorously over various and sundry as- signments. One would naturally expect such students to have achieved some- thing, and we have. We have sounded the depths of Prep knowledge, and have decided that we must change headquarters. That some have developed into orators is proven by the speeches they made when the Annual bill was presented. Then, on another occasion, a certain Prep spoke so vigorously that an old gentleman a block away declared the youth had either been reared on Edison ' s phonographs, or that he had swallowed an overdose of the spirits of cat-fightin ' . Now we do not mean this as a reflection on the phonographs; we simply want to draw a con- trast that will be clear to the minds of our gentle readers. By way of quitting, we shall say that the half has not been told, and the worst would be yet to come. But after all, the class is not so far be- hind the times. In fact, it is the most intellectual class that has occur- red at the Prep since, — oh, since the Stone Age. There is no use for me to keep expounding to you the different traits of the class, because it would be like working with an incommensurable quantity. Desiste.

It is unnecessary to report what he did with football last fall. The phenomenal success of the first year team was due to his ability as coach, and, as such, he deserves unlimited praise. What he is doing with baseball and track, is now being seen. The supporters of Athletics at Southwestern look forward with confidence to the future, with the teams under Coach, and such an interest is being taken in athletics as was never seen before. 272 273 A. L. AYRES MANAGER FOOTBALL, 08 THE successful launch- ing forth of a new en- terprise, be it connected with work or play, is truly a test of business ability. This being the first year of football at Southwestern, the executive committee showed its wisdom in sel- ecting Mr. Arthur Ayres as manager of the team of 1008. This selection was justified when, in review- ing the season, one recog- nizes the difficulties with We had played no pre- vious games with other institutions and thus far could not expect solid guarantees. All supplies were furnished this year, there being, of course, nothing left over from other years. The schedule was short; but one important game was played at home, the other two — practice games — having all the disagreeable features of such. Notwith- standing all these difficulties, however, we are in- debted to Mr. Ayres for a most successful season, both generally and financially, because, since he has administered the hard tests of football to South- western people in so pleasant a fashion, we shall expect them to rise up and shout for it next year. A. L. Ayres, Mgr. Football, ' OS which he had to contend 274 THE SEASON OF ' 08 It is said that all things come to those who wait pa- tiently enough. Whether or not it was due to patience is not known, but inter-collegiate football entered Southwestern again in the season of 1908. Being the first season, no old veterans of former years worked on the gridiron for first practice ; but a hefty crowd turned out, about eighty in number, that gradually narrow- ed down to the dozen and a half that defended the University so well throughout the season. The first game, a practice game, was with the eleven of Daniel- Baker College on the home gridiron. It proved a victory for S. U., 6 to 5, which should have been larger, but for the greenness of our men and the strength of the opponents. They fought hard and valiantly, but Coach Arbuckle ' s training was making itself manifest, and they could not withstand the terrific onslaughts of our line. The next game was also at home, with the team of St. Edward ' s College. The game was looked forward to with great anxiety, but the outcome, ?A to 0, showed that those upon the outside were unaware of the change which was working in this green squad. It was in this game that S. U. ' s adroitness with the new forward pass first be- came conspicuous, that later became the sensation of the state. The individual ability of several players marked them out as those upon whom suc- cess would later depend. 275 Then came the game with Texas, away from home, the most glorious memory of the season of ' 08, score 11 to 9, for Southwestern. If S. U. had had doubts about winning games, they certainly were afloat at this time, but they did not affect the team. Inspired and counseled constantly by Coach Ar- buckle, they went in with stout and determined hearts, and, as a result, won by sheer grit, being outweighed some twelve to fifteen pounds. In this game S. U. ' s forward pass reached its culmination in speed, accuracy, and dis tance, both touchdowns being made on passes received from fake formations, with long runs. It was new football and grit against old football and confidence; and, like Byron, the team woke up next morn- ing to find itself famous, after giving Texas the first defeat in five and the second in twelve years at the hands of a state team. This game marked the top of Southwestern ' s career for ' 08, many causes making for the two later defeats which closed the season. Some of the men were laid up by injuries, some seemingly lost interest because of the scarcity of games and the necessarily long intervals between, and a notable lack of competition became manifest later in the season. Thus T. C. U., drubbed severely by Texas and A. M., won by 14 to 0, the team being crippled and partially demoralized by the drifting of positions necessary as the game progressed. The game was unsatisfactory throughout in all respects, and was difficult to swallow after the preceding contest. The closing game of the season was still more unsatis- factory in point of score, 32 to in favor of A. M., 276 at College Station. Our crip- pled line and the generally poor condition of the team suc- cumbed to the terrific bucking and plunges of A. M. ' s heav- ier line, all conceding that A. M. did the most brilliant work that season against Southwes- tern ' s poorest. The magnificent place kicking of A. M., with the great interference and the steady offensive and defensive work on S. U. ' s side, made a game well worth seeing. Only the grit of the fellows prevented a larger score. In reviewing the season it is difficult to pick out various men as stars, for the team played as one man and was all the time on the job. To say the fourteen who were awarded their S ' s were the nerviest and grittiest bunch that ever played football within the state, all things considered, is hardly making the statement too strong. The success of the season was entirely due to the ceaseless and un- tiring industry of Coach Arbuckle, and to the open style of play which he developed, with plenty of fake formations and well-timed forward passes. With almost the entire line-up certain to return in the fall as a nucleus for the season of ' 09, with the return of Coach Ar- buckle, and the host of new men that this year ' s record will attract, Southwestern is already looking forward to a strong bid for the state championship this coming season. 277 278 00 O -J o X u -J -J H O o w o u H u -i — o u as id H Z as a i. o H a u H i ® m W o £° Q CO co co a) co 02 M S H W H H CO CO H W £ £ fc M « « WWW H H H co co cc W H W £ £ £ « w « H H Eh O O CO CO O O o CO CO CO o o CD CD Sh X! .O .O s s s a cu cd ;- o o o o o O O fc £ a o « a 8 8 CO •5 s cJ • s OS e 5 e c c 1 o o S o s. g o w CD o 1 8 5 o o 1 05 s 2 s 8 i-H 3 o — 8 A Q W a a a.

There was practically only one man in school who had had already consistent training under a coach, and that one was chosen captain. How fortunate the selection was became more ap- parent as the season progressed. As captain, a most responsible place in their open- ing season, he succeeded so completely that he was unanimously reelected at the close. He was able in every respect, possessed the implicit confidence of the team, and supervised the team ' s work throughout the season in a most creditable manner. As a player, Ben was one of the mainstays of the team. His terri- fic line plunges on the offensive from full-back, and his quick judgment of plays and points of attack on the defensive deserve special mention. His ability as a good punt and place kicker, as such the most effective and dependable, made his position impregnable throughout the season. His great interference was responsible for many of S. U. ' s long end runs, especially in the St. Edward ' s game. Unfortunately Capt. Ben was laid up before the A. M. game, where his punting ability was sadly missed. SNIPES T ROM the day that Jack first tried out for -1 his position at left half, he was recognized as a member of the eleven, for he is the real goods in foot ball armor, first, last, and all the time. Great on both offensive and defensive, he can be safely said to be one of the best defensive players in the state. This was particularly manifested in the A. M. game, and even the uninitiated in gridiron mysteries noticed that, when the play came through, the left half was there waiting for it. He was aided much by his ability to judge plays quickly and accurately which, coupled with 281 his great interference work and absolute insensibility to the hardest knocks, made him invaluable. Much of the forward pass throwing fell to him, and he possesses many to his credit of great distance and accuracy. He was acting captain in the A. M. game. McLAIN T70R some time after practice started, there - ■ were quite a few aspirants for right half, and none knew exactly who would hold the po- sition down. One afternoon a new man appear- ed for practice, not new to the students however, for he was a main stay on the ' Varsity nine be- hind the bat the spring before. Soon it was de- cided that right half belonged to Chick, not so much by right of might, because he was the lightest man on the squad, weighing in at only 140; but more by right of nerve, for he made up every ounce of weight with this special quality. Always Chick was in the right place at the right time, at all times backing up the line on the defense. His greatest defensive work throughout the sea- son lay in his punt catching. When the ball came down, he was there to receive it for an advance of thirty yards and more. This was especi- ally noticeable in the T. C. U. game, where the long punts of their quar- ter often resulted in their being quickly returned almost to their starting point. In the Texas game, he caught attempted forward passes twice, advancing the ball thirty yards in each instance. After the season, his activity was not abated, for he was busy organ- izing minor teams to tide the interest over. Mc- Lain was indeed a dark horse, and may the team of ' 09 have more like him. CHAPMAN A quarter back has perhaps the most respons- ■ ■ - ible position on the team, for by his general- ship are games lost and won. He must have, first, a complete mastery of the plays and when to use them; and, second, the knowledge of the ability of each man on the team for special plays. This is a task even for a veteran. But when a player steps into this position, his first year in foot ball, and does his work to the complete satisfaction of all, it 282 is indeed unusual. This Chapman did, mainly because he worked hard, and did as much as possible, throwing himself into the game completely. As acting field general, as a forward passer with great form and distance, as a receiver of punts, the quarter back made good in every sense of the word, and completely justified Coach ' s selection of a new man for the po- sition. The feature of the St. Edward ' s game was Chapman ' s eighty- five yard run for the touchdown, one long suc- cession of dodging through a broken field and use of the stiff arm, part of the way with magnificent interference. W 1 HENRY HEN you mention Henry ' s name as right end, the first thing one thinks of who has seen him on the gridiron is the speed with which he moved. He was so fast in fact that it was too difficult to watch him all the time. Nat- urally then, when plays came around right end, Henry could be depended upon to get into them, nearly always meeting them before they crossed the line of scrimmage. As a plucker of forward passes Henry had no rival, making both touchdowns against the State, in which game also, with McMillan at tackle, his defensive work was great, not an inch being gained around their end. In getting down on punts and to receive passes, his better-than-ten- flat speed served him well, and much of the success of the forward pass is due to his work and that of Sheffield at left end. Part of the season, he was handicapped by a bad knee, but his great playing was little abated. McMillan IX TcMILLAN at right tackle got rather to be syn- ■ onymous with immovability on the de- fense, and unstopability on the offense. This came to light particularly in the State game, in which attempted plays through his tackle were not only stopped, but often broken into behind the line. He played throughout the T. C. U. game with a shoulder so badly wrenched that he was laid out of the game the remainder of the season, yet he stuck to it rather than fall out. Mac was chosen man- ager for ' 09, which is a bad lookout for other state managers, if he goes after them as he did his op- ponents in the line during the past season. 283 KENNARD IXyHEN The Freshman came out as candi- date for guard, there were no few who considered his chances for any line position some- what slim. However, he kept on playing the game, having a bit of hard luck now and then, until one day it began to be noticed he was play- ing right guard all the time. So, sure enough he did, and played it in action in such a way that his opponent at A. M. complimented him by characterizing him as the fiercest he ever played against. Alert, wide-awake, a quick-starter, his charg- ing feared by opposing players, in every game he could be depended upon to go straight through the line, many times downing his man before the play was fairly started. It is a great source of pleasure to those who have foot ball at heart to know that Kennard has two or three more years before Him in the University. FENLEY ¥ N recalling the personnel of the ' 08 team, one who associated with the fellows could scarce- ly forget Fenley, the jolly center, whose pranks and dry wit kept the bunch laugh- ing almost continually. In addition to rag- ging his opponent, Fenley went after him as if he meant it, never being outplayed by an opposing center throughout the season. With his ability to stand severe punishment, his rug- ged personality, clear head, and accurate pass- ing, he held down his job, and nearly every down managed to have two or three linemen be- tween himself and the job. He made the clear record of not confusing a single signal the whole season. 284 HENDERSON ' I A HE idea of a 144 pound man in left guard on - - the ' Varsity eleven seems rather out of place because of lightness in avoirdupois. But every ounce was sand in the purest form, which, after all is worth much more than a heavier weight of mere iiesh Outweighed forty pounds in the Texas game, Henderson held his man and even made openings through his position. He played every position on the scrubs, prac- ticing and playing practically every position on the eleven, so that he was prepared for emergencies. A hard, ]silent player, he could be depended upon at any and all times. HEADRICK ' I A HOSE who saw the A. M. game remember, A on the defense, how breaks through our left tackle seemed to gain little or no ground what- ever. When the bunch untangled, underneath would be found big Headrick, coming up smiling just as if tumbling a half dozen opponents around so roughly and ungentlemanly was a part of the days sports. And he not only tumbled ' em, but he went through ' em for long gains time after time, being the heaviest and strongest man on the line. He was always anxious for something to do, and generally followed the good rule of getting in the way of things happening. In the Texas game he was shifted to stop the terrible tackle through tackle plunges of Texas ' tall captain, which he did most successfully throughout. Big Boy, though a great player, had one fault, which threatened to stop his foot ball career for a while. That fault was— too close atten- tion to his studies. 285 SHEFFIELD W HEN the fellows got to talking about which ones had their positions cinched, one name was certain to be mentioned in connection with left end, that of Sheff. A constant play- er, a quick and hard charger, he could always be depended upon to do his work, with a big margin left over. His greatest exhibition work was on the defense, with the tackle, stopping with clock- like regularity and precision plays coming into or near his territory. Sheffield played in hard luck a portion of the season, receiving many minor bruises that hampered him. Sheff never knew when to quit. Receiving a hard knock in the T. C. U. game, that laid him out on the side lines temporarily blind, he struggled to his feet and muttered, I can ' t see, but put me back in and give me the ball and start me right, and they can ' t stop me, and nobody doubted a word of what he said. MITCHELL pHROUGHOUT the season, among those who ■ gave the eleven the most gruelling practice in the scrub games, Mitch would be perhaps the first mentioned. In the first place he always talked enough to make himself heard, but he never failed to play the game harder than he talked. Weighing only 134 pounds, he was grit clear through, and played like a demon. On the defense he was fine; and, in fact, played so well that, when Capt. Hearne was laid out of the game just before the date with A. M., Mitch was put in at full back with his 134 pounds, and played the position with much credit. It was in this game that his laurels were won, and his privilege of wearing the initial S granted. 286 STONE I With Fenley and way dull. N enumerating those fine on the defense, Cap must be included. Although he played in on- ly two games, as substitute left end with T. C. U. and tackle at A. M., yet the two were entirely sufficient to demonstrate his ability. His oppon- ents at A. M. learned to appreciate his prowess in more ways than one, and one especially had occasion to regret his familiarity with Cap be- fore the game was over. In the exhibition throw- ing of the forward pass before the games, it was Stone that showed the grand-stand how it was done, his good service at twirling on the diamond enabling him to throw long, perfect spirals. Stone along, no trip away from home was in any PARR r T A HE Freshman class contributed much to the ■ ■ line-up of ' 08, and last, but not least, of those who won the right to wear the ' Varsity in- itial was the sub-right guard. With the scrubs Parr helped hold the first team to only two or three touchdowns a game; with the ele- ven, he aided materially by his steady, Rock of Gibraltar type of play. His only op- portunity came in the game with A. M.; and, although only a short time remained after he went in, yet he seized his opportunity well by his breaking into the close formations of the Farm- ers and downing his men in fine form. 2 87 j3.CoUr s« Gwinn Henry at Austin, Nov. 5, 288 289 BASEBALL TEAM, ' 08 290 BASEBALL TEAM, ' 08 WINNERS OF THE S Manager Wheeler Captain McLain Coach Weber Catcher McLain Pitcher Stone, Ayres First Base Vaughan Second Base Putnam Third Base Brown Shortstop Jackson Left Field ....

Howard 291 292 BASEBALL REVIEW, 1908 HE season of 1908 opened up with the poorest team South - T western has ever put out or ever expects to. We cannot blame the boys for that. They did their best, but being young and inexperienced, they could not win against strong college teams. Only three old men were on the team. We had to pick up a bunch of kids and do the best we could. However, we in- tend to tell what happened — not how it happened. Coach Weber took charge of the squad about the last of February and picked out the most likely looking boys. They had spirit, if they were somewhat lacking in experience, and the kind that will yet make them win. The Dummies came over for a practice game, and the boys beat them out by a margin of 5 scores. Next came Texas, when Graham was in his balmy days, and beat us on Friday the 13th. The rest is a tale of bad luck. We went to A. M., and the farmer boys beat us out, but on the return games we divided the pie with them. Then we went to Texas and beat them out; got the big uns. Next came that memorable trip. Trinity beat us the first game. The second, Wheeler pitched a no-hit game for 11 innings, and our boys pre- sented them with it. At Austin College, His Uinps and our Captain failed to be congenial associates, and we gave them the game to get rid of His Majesty. The next game they beat us. Then T. C. U. got our boys up in the atmosphere and attached a couple of games. The boys were feeling blue, but had grit to stay with it to the bitter end. T. C. U. came to our town and took two hard fought games. Again we went to Texas, and again hard luck followed us, and they won 12 to 2. Then Commencement they came over here, and we fought them for 11 innings, when they gave it up with the score tied. This was the game in which Hearne got a hit. We can hardly claim the championship on this record, but the last shall be first, etc. We have a different hunch in 1909. 293 BASEBALL RECORD, 1908 Southwestern vs. T. S.

At the opening of this year ' s season, we had forty men out trying for the team. Since that time, the squad has been cut down to about one-half that number, and on account of competition and enthusiasm the team is improving rapidly. For this reason the manager has arranged for meets with Univer- sity of Texas and Baylor. We will also be represented in the All- Southwestern meet, which will be held in Waco in May. The men are in hard preparation and training for these events. In these contests our athletes will meet with formidable competition, but Southwestern expects to come out with flying colors. There is much material this year from which to pick the team. In addition to this, we have several good men trying for each position. Much interest is being manifested in the work, and the team is receiving noble support from the student body and faculty. Thus our prospects for a winning team this year are exceedingly encouraging. — We hope and truly expect that the season of ' 09 shall be the making of a new era in the track athletics of South- western, and that the team will be a winner on all occasions. We are led to believe that we will not only be heard from through- out the State, but also the South. — James C. Snipes. 299 H — ov P=!

Some of the lo- cal players began to see that there were some skillful tennis men in their midst and determined to use them for the glory of Southwestern in inter- collegiate tennis. A tournament having been arranged with Baylor, a local tournament was held, in which McLean and Ward held the highest places, which made them the champions. McLean won the singles, but the doubles were lost. 304 TENNIS f THE season of 1908-1909 has witnessed an extraordinary activity among lovers of tennis at Southwestern University. It does the year but justice to say that this year we have really been awake on this line. Heretofore those who wished to play tennis were compelled to seek private courts in town, or put up with courts of inferior adaptability somewhere on the University grounds. But now we can boast of some of the choicest courts that can be found anywhere, and it is likely that the number of courts will be in- creased in the near future. If anything is done, some one has to start in. So last summer Prof. Benedict had prepared at considerable expense some excellent courts near Mood Hall. When school opened in September, the Athletic Asso- ciation assumed the responsibility of paying for and caring for these courts. A tennis manage) 1 had already been chosen. A tennis club under the control of the Athletic Association was organized and a reasonable annual fee is charged the members of this club for the use of nets and courts. The manager at once got busy and arranged a local schedule of games, the winners in which are to be given rackets and the honor of represent- ing the University in inter -collegiate tennis. This stimulated the already manifest interest in tennis. As a result, all during the year the courts have been in use, especially by Mood Hall boys, to whom the grounds are so convenient. At the present writing the winner in the contests have not become evident. We are safe in saying that this year will like- ly furnish the best team we ever furnished. Furthermore, there is a larger number of skilled players to select from this year than ever before. In addition to the courts under control of the Athletic Association there are several other courts on the University grounds and several pri- vate courts in the neighborhood on which students may be seen playing almost every afternoon. The young ladies in the Annex have not stayed in their new gymna- sium all the time, for almost every evening numbers of them are on their tennis courts. We trust that the good work will go on till there will be many more first class tennis courts at Southwestern, and the interest in this, one of the best of all outdoor exercises, will be universal in our midst. 305 306 307 - ji Qpf pw fiks £ ; i ' Li M = !

Classes have been formed and great interest is being mani- fested in the physical work. The number of members in each class is limited so that personal attention may be paid to the individual needs of the girls. The training is based upon the Del- sarte Philosophy of Ex- pi ession and the Swedish and German systems of free movements and light gymnastics. The aim of the gymnasium training is to acquire a symmetrical devel- opment of the body as a basis for health and grace. The general work includes Indian clubs, dumb-bells, wand, ball and pole drills, breathing exercises, flexing exercises to overcome stiffness, exercises to develop control of muscles, and all devices in training that se- cure freedom of bodily action and grace, harmony, and poise. Miss Floyd Crutchfield Directress 312 sgp 313 GIRLS ' GYMNASIUM 3 1 4 BOYS ' GYMNASIUM THE Gymnasium for boys continues to make rapid improvement. i Under the able direction of Professor Benedict, the work takes on new and interesting ' improvements each year of its existence, and each new improvement finds the muscles of both Fresh- men and upper classmen on a steady increase. The Freshman work now given consists of a calisthenic drill, in which drill the Swedish system is used, leading up by a grad- ual process to the apparatus work. The student is first compelled to take strength tests, and such muscles as are found to be weak are strengthened by a gradual and private course of training. This part of the work is attended to with much care, and excellent results have been obtained. By a gradual process, as has been said before, the student is led to gain entire control over the muscles of the body, and is then allowed to undertake some few light forms of apparatus work, in which much stress is laid on the form and proper manner of alighting from the apparatus. This completes the work for the Freshman year, and the Sophomore of the next year finds himself with a well developed body and flexible muscles, ready to take up the work of mastering the apparatus: from parallel bars to the horse; from the horse to the horizontal bar; and then to the tumbling. Work is taken up in the advanced classes just where it was left off in the Freshman class, and the student is led through the trying ordeal of having to stand on his hands, do the rolls on the parallel bars, travel the horse from head to foot, and handle himself thoroughly on the horizontal bar. In the third year ' s work, various acrobatic stunts are taught, together with the theory used in teaching gymnasium work. The various faults of which the average student is guilty are pointed out and the method of correcting those faults is shown. The students, in the third year, work in pairs, and the faults of one are corrected by criticism and original ideas advanced by the other. You now have the work that is being attempted and done in the gym- nasium department, from the Freshman classes on through the advanced work, and ' tis gratifying to note how much good is being accomplished in regard to the general health of the student body. 3 1 5 BOYS ' GYMNASIUM 31 6 3 1 7 ANTIQUARIAN COLLEGES AND THEIR ATHLETICS BY DR. MUSTYPAGE, ARCHAEOLOGIST, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FIJI ECENTLY there fell into my hands some very ancient books and brochures which throw new light on the so-called uni- versities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For the last thirty years (Dr. Dullheimer published his most excellent monograph on American Collegiate Athletics in 2643), antiquarians have been devoting a large amount of research to life in the great athletic training schools, such as Yale and Harvard. The latter school is said to have been situated near a town called Boston — undoubtedly a corruption of Bosses ' Town — and signified either New York or Chicago. There could not have been a city really named Boston, as there is no reference to such a place in any of the early American literature. The value of the books and brochures referred to above cannot be overestimated. Truly, they are only fragmentary, without covers and title pages; still they contain a mass of indisputable facts, that show that even such an eminent authority as Doctor Dullheimer has erred in his conclusions in some very important respects. Our interest in the aca- demic days of our ancestors, barbaric as they were, is certainly defendable, and we should certainly all be glad that, during the seven centuries inter- vening between them and us, mind has so completely triumphed over muscle. As that era may be accurately designated as the Athletic Age (we reject the word sporting as obsolete), this may be called the Age of Mental Superiority. The newly discoverd papers deal with a university called Southwest- ern. It is not clear whether it was situated in Texas or British Guiana, but that is immaterial. This institution seems to have existed for the sole purpose of training physi cal champions, and suggests the gladiatorial schools of an earlier date. The courses consisted in feet-ball, basket- ball, baize-ball, track (a rather indefinite term), and pony-riding. Chief among the courses taken by these ancient collegians was feet- ball. Just what this game was like has been uncertain until now, when, thanks to the valuable papers which we now have in the museum of the University of Fiji, we have much realistic information. The ball some- 318 times used in these contests was inessential, as is shown by the fact that frequently a pig (variety hog, genus swine) was substituted, from which custom the contestants learned to refer to the harmless animal as pig skin. The general plan of the contest was for the two opposing sides to line up, then some one would kick the poor swine, and its cry of pain was a signal for a general combat. Frequently some awkward contestant would fall on the pig-skin, which would add very much to the enjoy- ment of the barbaric spectators. One of these ancient brochures called the Me-ger-fo-ne tells how one contestant named Henri in a game with the state (or government), fearing the dreadful punishment of a scrimmage, lost his courage, and twice tried to get out of the combat by picking up the poor wriggling pig in his arms and running off the field. Truly the punishment of a scrimmage was something fearful. One of the books in my matchless collection contains an ancient engravure of a feet-ball game. Some of the players had lost their noses and were compelled to wear rude affairs of what appears to be iron. That the sport should be destructive of physiognomy will be recognized when the reader understands the object of the contest. The purpose of the combat was to make touch downs, which in the jovial verbiage of the day, was to touch an opponent so vigorously that he was knocked down on the ground. In a game with another college, a Southwestern official re- ferred to as Capt. Storne made the only touch-down of the day. Strange to record, however, Southwestern does not seem to have won the game. My esteemed contemporary of the University of Panay (the Doctor Dullheimer referred to above) has attemped to prove, with a considerable show of erudition, that the women of those ancient universities did not engage in the disgusting game of feet-ball. That he undoubtedly is mis- taken is evidenced by the fact that one term of the college year was de- voted to nothing but feet-ball, and that a large number of women were enrolled at that time. Furthermore, according to the wonderful books in our museum, the president of this school during the feet-ball term urged all students (including women) to buck the line harder and to make more forward passes. In addition to feet-ball, the women had a game called basket-ball. This was equally as brutal as feet-ball. Instead of using pigs, however, they seemed to have used rats. So devoted were they to their game that they carried their rats with them all the time. Only on St. Valentine ' s Day (a day sacred to the chief of their heathen divinities) did all the 3 1 9 young women appear without their rats, much to the amazement of their male admirers. There is a very peculiar thing about basket-ball at South- western. The publications which I have recovered refer to considerable preparations to play a game of basket-ball with another Amazon school called Coronal. It is not known whether the game was played or not, for there is no further reference to it in any of the University annals. Early in the school year of 1908, when these papers appear to have been printed, a new athletic professor appeared at Southwestern, called Mouzy, or Mousy. He urged all young men and women to undertake the strenuous exercise of mountain climbing. This suggestion does not seem to have met with favor, however, for there is no record that any of the students — even Dr. Mousy himself— ever climbed a mountain. We reject the clumsy conjecture of Dr. Rockbuster of Sumatra University that there were no mountains to climb. This is merely another instance in which the opinion of blatant geologists is altogether unreliable. It seems that Dr. Mousy did not remain long at Southwestern College. At least noth- ing more is said of him. The most prominent and influential member of this University ' s fac- ulty was an old grizzled veteran called Arbuckle. We find one reference to him as the whole thing. Not much is known of him except that he was greatly admired by the women, and that he insisted on all students using the Arbuckle coffee beverage, invented by him. It may be pos- sible that there are other instructors than those mentioned above; if so, like Dr. Mousy, they all were secondary to Dr. Arbuckle in importance and influence. We are sure the reader will pardon our pride in having been able to describe in some detail the character of the Ancient Americans. He would be even more generous with his praise, if he could in any measure comprehend the long and relentless research which has enabled us to write this brief article, describing the purpose of the Ancient American University.

Being in a light, joyous vein, and sung in rapid, tripping verse. A H well, ah well, you never can tell — ' Tis queer how things take place; The dope-book may have had its say, But that don ' t win the race. ' Tis a sad, sad tale, and my bitter wail Cannot refill my purse, But may give relief to my blinding grief, So my story I ' ll rehearse. At the Varsitee, as all may see, We ' re strong ' uns on athletics (However weak in Latin, Greek, And classical aesthetics.) Our baseball nine like stars do shine, Our track-team beats them all; But we loudest root for our longest suit, The royal sport,— Football! 0, we chew ' em up, we strew ' em up And down the checkered field; We knock ' em out, we block ' em out, And make the strongest yield. ' Tis true that tilt with Vanderbilt We lost (their dirty play Upset us so), and Chi-ca-go,— Let ' s forget that day. Poetic license; it will be remembered that this year Southwestern ' s track-team beat Texas. 321 But now from home not far we roam ; In Texas we ' re the squeeze; These home galoots go down the chutes, And we ' re the whole darn cheese. Ah, well-a-day! We were to play Full soon the A. M., And thought a tame, slow practice-game Would put our men in trim. With this in view, S. W. U. Was asked to make the fun; As they ' d played before but two games more, The team was easy mun. When they blew in, a happy grin O ' erspread each Texan ' s face; For, light and lean, ' twas easy seen They couldn ' t stand our pace. Then at a glance I saw my chance To coin a little pile; Though odds were run at ten to one, I thought the cinch worth while. So I soaked enough of my shiny stuff To get a hundred buck, And soon beguiled a Georgetown child With me to try his luck. I said to him S. U. might win, And winked the other eye; For ten per cent, from an innocent Is much like usu-ry. The game began, and a Texas man Most promptly kicked a goal ; This put my feet on Easy Street, And joy into my soul. 322 Canto II. Here ye mood of ye narrator chayngeth. Darke clouds obscure ye horizon a rumble as of distante thunder is heard, ye musick chayngeth to a deep, dark, direful, dismal dirge, and ye singer singeth in awful and tragical pentameters. But horrors! In a trice a thing befell Which gives me quite another tale to tell. A fumble, and U. T. had lost the ball, Which caused me no uneasiness at all Until a dirty play was executed, To Texas ' style of football scarcely suited. This dirty play a forward pass they call; Their quarterback stood still and held the ball Until our braves against their line had plunged To down him where he stood, and forward lunged. Then by a secret preconcerted sign, He threw the ball past one end of our line. A player there was waiting for the throw, Caught it, and ran as hard as he could go. Of course our men were all preoccupied, And could not stop him howsoe ' er they tried. When he had crossed the line, S. U. had more Than we; this made the tally five to four. Their captain then increased their lead by one; He kicked a goal, they seemed to think it fun. I cussed a cuss and swore a dreadful swear, I raved and stormed and wildly tore my hair, But with it all I didn ' t quite despair. Young was the half and confident our team That yet they might their slandered rep redeem. Now break, sad heart, and from thy woe be free! This joyful outcome never was to be! Five minutes scarce elapsed ere yet once more A forward pass increased Southwestern ' s score; For fifty yards a Georgetown man Ran with the ball, and mocked us as he ran. 323 A touchdown made, their captain missed the kick, A just reward for such a dirty trick. Against such play what could our weight avail? Such base deception makes a sorry tale. And now with fear my heart began to quake (And well it might!) for what I had at stake. In spite of all my yells, the first half o ' er, We held the hot end of eleven-four. The second half, however, used aright, Might win for Texas and dispel my fright. But fate was cruel; hope was lifted high Only to dash the harder from the sky. We made a touchdown, and by brilliant play To make a second were well on our way, When, depth of bitter sorrow, time was called ! I heard the whistle, gasping and appalled; My sph ' it failed me at the direful sound, And like a cotton-bale I hit the ground. Possessed of all my wealth, the Georgetown child Went on his way, and as he went, he smiled. Then penniless and destitute I swore Never to bet on cinches any more. Here ye tale cometh to a more or less abrupt end. ♦ Brilliant; i. e., line-bucking and short end-runs. 32 4 R HELEN ' S TOUCHDOWN Cap i sa Cap i sa! Zimmie wm bah, S. U. football Rah! Rah! Rah! ANG sharp and clear from Helen Hunt ' s room ; and the busy buzz and bum of voices that followed, interrupted by frequent peals of laughter, quite drowned the timid knock! knock! at the door. Nor was the knocker able to obtain a hearing until there was a lull preparatory to the next rehearsal. Come! answered several of the girls at once, each fully expecting a fellow enthusiast coming in for practice. But instead, a curly- headed little messenger boy peeped doubtfully in, and, after looking inquiringly about the room, for a moment, held up a piece of yellow paper, as if in evidence of his mission, and called out: Telegram for Miss Hunt! Helen came forward and hastily read the message. At first she looked puzzled, then read again more slowly: Helen, you must not see the name to-morrow. Father. This time it was plain. Father had heard all, and her face grew white with anger at the injustice of this command. She stood still for a mo- ment; and, as a full realization of what it all meant to her began to dawn, a piece of paper slowly fluttered to the floor, and a pair of firm lips pressed more firmly together. No one ventured to speak; for, though Helen had been in school only about three months, all the girls had learned some- thing of her temperament. Always the first to share another ' s burden, she would never divide her own. They now knew from her expression that, whatever the trouble was, she neither needed help nor desired sym- pathy. In answer to the looks of inquiry from the girls, she pointed to the paper on the floor, and then walking slowly to her window, stood per- fectly still and erect looking into space. As the slip passed from hand to hand, the usual expressions of pity and sympathy were repressed, partly because they did not fully understand, and partly because it was Helen. As the girls now retired in groups, leaving Helen alone, the thought uppermost in each mind was: What will she do! Could a stranger who had been her father ' s friend have followed her thoughts for a few mo- ments just now, he would have said: Surely this is Earl Hunt ' s daughter. Her father was a descendant of the old Hunt family who for con- science ' s sake had fled from England in the Mayflower. Five generations were between them, that is true, but this special line in each generation had been represented by a vigorous, hardy, pioneer family. Earl Hunt, 325 the last, had dared to face the hardships of the Texas frontier in order that he might fall heir to its blessings. Many of the old Puritan charac- teristics were as truly his as they had been his father ' s two hundred years before. An iron will and deep religious convictions were traits which had rather increased than decreased with time, and the hardy frontier life had given him, in addition, a giant frame. Her mother was the daughter of a Southern planter on whom fortune had smiled, and who, next to his own pedigree, prided himself most in that of his horses, for be kept the finest racers in the whole country. It was in this atmosphere of pride and spirit that the mother of Helen Hunt was reared; and this, with the romantic influence of the Sunny South, had in- stilled into her a spirit of freedom and adventure, which had resulted in her marriage with Mr. Hunt as the man she loved and not as the man of her father ' s choice. The young couple moved to Texas very early. Here the two children, G-eorge and Helen, were born, and here they approached manhood and womanhood, enjoying the happy freedom of ranch life, yet often chafing under the curb of a well meaning, but unrelenting father. George was now doing his third year ' s work in Yale. Helen was standing at her window in the Annex of S. U. with all the forces of her nature in arms. Two years George had refrained from playing football because it was his father ' s wish, although his splendid physique and good nerve would have commanded for him, at anytime, a place on Yale ' s champion team. From the first he had been wild to play; and now, since he had reached his twenty-first birthday in September, he had entered the team as fullback. His letters to Helen were filled with thrilling accounts of flying tackles and heroic plays by daring young men, among whom he was not least, but honored of them all. These letters, together with the fact that she had seen a number of hotly contested games on S. U. ' s gridiron, had fired her enthusiasm to the highest pitch. It was Thanksgiving Day, and at four o ' clock the greatest game of the season was to be called. This game was to decide whether U. T. or S. U. would hold the state championship. Never before in the history of the university had the boys and girls of S. U. shown so much inter- est in any occasion. The girls, as well as the boys, had been organized into squads for the purpose of doing more effective rooting. Helen had been chosen general yell and song leader. The entire annex bleacher was to be under her supervision. She had been training the girls for weeks, and the captain of the team, James Weix, had been present frequently to review her work. He was delighted and had taken occasion to compli- ment her personally — but that was only the work. True, he had urged his sister to do all she could in getting her elected to this responsible posi- 326 tion — but he had given for his reason that he knew she would do it well. Half a dozen notes, now tied in pink ribbon and carefully put away, had been read half a dozen times — but they were only to encourage her and secure more efficient work. Half an hour after the girls had gone, Helen was still at her window. The battle had raged long and hard, bat now she was sitting in a chair thinking quietly. Yes, he must have heard that George is playing football. She knew of her father ' s antipathy to the game, but it seemed to her that it must be because he did not understand it, for she knew every boy on the team, and she did not believe that a huskier, braver, truer bunch was to be found anywhere; and she was sure that her father would be their greatest admirer, could he but know them personally. But of what good was all this reasoning ? There was the telegram, and of course she would not disobey her father. She had never done so, no matter how unjust the command might have seemed, for she loved this great, strong man passionately, and tears came to her eyes as she thought how tenderly he loved her. As she sat thus looking out through her window at the hills beyond, her eyes were dimmed by these unbidden tears, and the hills became to her the rolling prairies of her western home — but the picture was in- terrupted, for through her half open door she heard two of the girls coming down the hall. They were talking very earnestly in a monotone and stopped, as they thought, just out of hearing to finish their conversation. She will never do it, said one of the girls emphatically, she is the only girl in the Annex who could stay at home this evening and never shed a tear, even though she is the most enthusiastic of us all for foot- ball and has more reason for wanting to go than any of us; besides, if she would, she could not, because Professor Scott received a telegram, also, asking him to see that she does not go. Helen was on her feet in an instant. What! her father did not trust her? She was to be watched like a thief? Never before had her pride received such an insult. Her whole nature revolted at the mere suggestion. For several minutes she stood still with her hands clinched and her foot tapping nervously on the floor. We will see what your police force is worth, she said aloud pres- ently as she turned toward her writing desk with a half revengeful and half mirthful sparkle in her large brown eyes. She glanced at the clock — there were two hours yet. A note was hurriedly written. Her chum was called in and asked to read it. What! Helen, you don ' t dare do it? exclaimed Agnes in astonish- ment. I don ' t dare? repeated Helen, and, as Agnes watched her, she knew that she did dare. 327 A note was sent to Agnes ' brother and in less than an hour a large box labeled Thanksgiving Dinner arrived for Miss Agnes Critzer. Thirty minutes later, as Professor Scott was hurrying up the walk to the Annex, he met an exceedingly handsome young gentleman of average height, with large brown eyes and a beautiful complexion wearing a brown derby hat and a large overcoat with a high collar, which was turned up to protect his neck from the sharp wind that was blowing. Professor Scott was very much attracted by the young man ' s bold manner, and especially did he enjoy his hearty good morning, sir, as they passed each other. But with taking care of the Annex lines, which was just ready to start as he came in, there was little time for Professor Scott to think of handsome young men he had met, and so the incident was soon forgotten — by him. Helen, for you must know that she was the young man, walked brisk- ly to the grounds and selected a seat among the Texas crowd, for she was not herself to-day, bat a mere casual onlooker without interest in either side. How romantic it all seemed to see and know and not be known. The very danger of it added an element of pleasure. As she looked over the great crowd of anxiously waiting people and heard the boys giving their snappy yells and singing their songs as they marched up and down the side lines, she was for a time true to her new role and reveled in the pleasure of mere adventure, hearing yells and knowing not who gave them, seeing colors and caring not for what they stood. For these brief moments she was almost glad things had turned out so. But presently she discovered the Annex line pouring through the gate with their colors flying like an army on the march. Adventure for adventure ' s sake now had no place with her. For was not that her line? And were not those her colors ' ? How proud she felt as she heard all three squads singing together in perfect harmony. For had she not trained them? And the song — her heart was strangely warmed. The evidence of the lodestone was strong, for a piece of true steel had come into its field. But look! both teams come running on the field — for a short practice just to get their blood up, How grand they look! Both sides dash off with the siguals, confident in their power. Her eyes involuntarily single out the tallest of all in the S. U. line-up — he is playing center to-day. Five minutes more and a bugle is blown and both sides take their places and stand impatient for the signal. Texas is to kick off to S. U. One of her men steps to the center of the field and places the ball. Why don ' t they start? Oh, it is some trivial rule. Now the referee shouts: S. U. ready 7 and from the far end of the field the reply comes back like an echo, S. U. ready! 1 ' 1 Again the referee shouts, Texas ready V and again the reply, Texas ready The signal is given, and the ball goes flying through 328 the air almost to S. XL ' s goal, but is brought back to the thirty-yard line. In the first scrimmage both lines strike with tremendous force, but each is solid and all fall in a heap. Aud so it was throughout the first half. The ball changed sides frequently, going first toward one goal and then toward the other until they rested without either side scoring. Both sides came back into the field with the same faith and determina- tion to win, which they had shown at first. This time S. U. kicked off to Texas, placing the ball within twenty yards of the goal . Again the battle was fought hard and nearly all in the center of the field, until there were only ten minutes more, when Texas began using straight line bucks. Grad- ually their superior weight pressed the 8. U. line back toward their own goal. Up to this time the girls had done splendid yelling and singing; but, as their team began to lose ground, the leaders seemed unable to control them. They were watching the game, and would not listen to the appeals of the leaders to keep together and thus encourage the boys. It required the full force of Helen ' s strong will for her to hold in check her impulse to rush from her position, make herself known to the girls, and and lead their yells. Once she started and stopped. Oh, if she only could go, she would make them yell! Three minutes more and only fifteen yards to go ! Two minutes more and ten yards to go ! Suddenly Helen thought of the last sentence in James ' last note: If the girls yell well, noth- ing can make us lose. The boys were now immediately under the An- nex bleacher; at this critical period, just as they lined up for another scrimmage, James glanced at the distracted group of girls. This was too much for Helen — they must yell. And by the time the boys were ready for the next scrimmage, she was standing in front of the Annex bleachers, wav- ing the little brown derby. As she called out yell No. two, in her clear ring- ing voice, every one knew her, and there was silence ; and, as she signaled, they yelled as of old Rackety! Yackety! Kalamazoo! we yell for the boys of old S. U. ! • The effect was electrical. Down the boys went for an- other scrimmage. Texas ' quarter called a left end run. S. U. ' s left guard broke through the line, tackled Texas ' right half, who carried the ball, and threw him with such force that the ball was dropped. No soon- er had it touched the ground than the tall center had it under his arm and was off like a shot for the Texas goal. But what is the matter? He is slacking; and look! yonder, oming diagonally across the field, is Texas ' left end, the swiftest man in the state. What! yes it is true. James is limping — yet running well. But the Texas man is gaining — gaining. Now they are ten yards apart, now five. But they are near the goal. Will he make it? The Texas man gathers for a flying tackle. He springs and brings down his man — but too late. The ball is over the line. W. B. McMillan. 329 THE CONSISTENT STUDENT 1. Who can find a consistent student? for his price is far above rubies. 2.

Mamma was queen, And Bobby was knight With a lathe sword And a tin helmet bright. Go, said the queen, And ere you return, Bring me a spray Of maiden-hair fern. So she kissed the young knight, Sent him off to the wars, Down the long lane, ' Neath the cow-pasture bars. He conquered a goat And a playful young calf, And slew thistle knights With a merciless laugh. Hardily, stoutly, Fighting his way, He met his defeat Mid the buttercups gay. For there sat in state A lady so fair That Bobby was stunned And could do naught but stare. She was just six years old, A year younger than he; But she smiled like a queen And said, Come play with me. So Bobby forgot That he must return, That he had for the queen Not a maiden-hair fern. And all morning long The gallant young knight Was kept in the dungeon Of Forgetful Delight. 331 ORATION AT THE GRAVE OF GANOT By J. Fisher Simpson. Most Honored Preceptors and Fellow Students: I come to bury Ganot, not to praise him. The evil that books do live after them; The good is oft ' hidden deep in the recess of its pages; So it was Ganot. Many students Have told you Ganot was difficult: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Ganot answered it. Here, amid the tears of many former Ganot students, For they are all broken hearted, Come I to speak at Ganot ' s Funeral. He hath been a subject very snappy to some; But some say he is difficult, And we doubt not their words. He hath caused many students to fail, Who sought long and diligently for passes; Did this seem that Ganot is hard? Yet these students were industrious men. You all have seen that many times wehave taken exams, But as many times some have failed. Was he difficult! Yet some say he is a snap, And, sure, they are honourable men. I speak not to disprove what they say, But here I am to speak what I do know. Some of you have taken him twice, not without cause. What cause then that you should mourn for him! passes! you have come to us, And we have finished the course. Our Jonah is in the coffin there with Ganot, And we hope we shall ne ' er see him again. Only a year since, Ganot busted a senior, And now he lies there cold in death, And all freshies should do him reverence. Students, if I were disposed to stir Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, 1 should do Analyt wrong and English II wrong, Which you all know are easy subjects: 332 I will not do them wrong; I rather choose To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you, Than 1 will wrong such snaps. But here ' s a pad with the mark of Ganot; I found it in a student ' s room, here is his grade. Let but the freshmen hear this grade, Which, pardon me, I do not mean to tell — And they would weep for joy o ' er his silent grave; Yea, beg a leaf of him for memory, And guarding, mention it in their wills, Bequeathing it as a rich legacy Unto the preps. A SONNET TO MY SOUL The mighty human throng doth onward move, And I amid the multitude am one; ' The laws we know of earth, and star, and sun, Yet we our destiny can never prove. Oh, what is life? and is there any love? Mad Mystery my heart doth sting and stun, For Death steals near ere Life is quite begun, And men are gone like clouds that melt above. But do I hear some whisper soft and sweet? Awake, my sinking soul, from Slumber ' s spell! Arise to Faith; stand in thy strength complete! Rejoice in Hope; the Voice of Love Divine Thy likeness of the living God doth tell, And bid thee know thine infinite design ! J. J. Walling. 333 ORATION DELIVERED AT THE GRAVE OF GANOT (Published at the request of several of those present) HE man of Uz is not the only one who was ever troubled about the future. When on him the hand of affliction was laid so heavily that helost all hope of ever again in this world seeing the light of life, he cried out in the anguish of his soul: If a man die, shall he live again! For some time on South- western University has been laid the affliction of one Ganot. The name of this monster is derived from the Greek word, yay xmu which as a verb means to mortify, and as a noun, means the mor- tification of living flesh. It belongs to the class of sea-monsters known as the Ganoids. This accounts for the fact that those who attempt to follow it are invariably at sea, and are drowned in deep water. Its habits being marine, it does not affiliate with quadrupeds of the horse kind; consequently, when one attempts to take this course, it matters not how great a reputation for riding he may have established elsewhere, he is soon overwhelmed with the awful fact that what he needs most of all is a life preserver. It affords us no comfort to know that this year this monster is not in the college curriculum. By the way the word curriculum is trans- ferred directly from the Latin and means a race-course. St. Paul says that, when one runs a curriculum, he should lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets him. No doubt it was the desire on the part of the President and faculty of our University to obey the Scripture that led them to lay aside this sin which has beset and upset so many innocents of our number. I say that it affords us no comfort to know that this year this mon- ster is not in the curriculum. Do not most of us now bear in our bodies, minds, and spirits marks of our encounters with it— bodily, mental, and spiritual infirmities which we shall carry to our graves ' ? Our action to- day in consigning it to the dust, where it has wallowed so many of our kind, is, in a measure, to be interpreted as retributive justice. Fur- thermore, we would make of it a penal example before the eyes of one Watson ' s Physics, fearing lest the said Watson may some day attempt to usurp the authority and dignity and malignancy once held by His Ichthyc Majesty, the aforesaid Ganot. Furthermore, ladies and gentlemen, as long as this monster continues to lie above the earth, so long are we justified in taking measures to 334 forestall its reinstatement over the destiny of our successors. Already we hear mutte rings from far and near that lead us to believe that in the near future it may be restored to the College curriculum. As long as its mystic pages lie above the earth, so long will they hang as a threatening pall over our less experienced subordinates and successors. So our action today is to be interpreted as a mark of the highest social instincts. Our college course may be compared to a bridge of four spans. This monster may be compared to a black cloud hanging over the farthest span, or a hidden pitfall near the farthest end of the bridge. Never again may our hearts have to be rent with anguish to behold others dropping unexpectedly in the midst of mirth and jollity. As long as this mon- ster remains here, so long must the cry of our hearts be: Alas, man was made in vain! How is he given away to misery and mortality! —tortured in life and swallowed up in death. Mortification having been our lot in college, we are not very confident that in the future we shall ever be able to accomplish anything that will bring us to remembrance. In burying the sea monster (ianot, we thus make it possible for our successors to enjoy a brighter future than ours (all things else being equal, which, from our point of view, are quite unequal); and recognizing the fact that our future renown has many contingencies, we have planted this tree, which will remind those who come after us that we once lived. We are humiliated to admit our defeat; but in this hour of triumph over our common foe, we rejoice and commit it to the dust with this last tribute : O book that would not let us go, When once thou got ' st a hold on us; We pay thee back the debt we owe, That in the earth thy mystic lore May mingle with the dust. O misery that upset us on our way, We give our bitterest thoughts to thee, Our hearts long for a brighter day But for thy shadow on our way, We might have hoped to see. O book that muddled all our heads, How we rejoice to bury thee; We lay in dust thy glory dead, And in our hearts there blossoms red Hope that shall brighter be. 335 THE WINNING OF NELLIE WAS graduated from the State University Law School in the I spring of 1908, the year when Bailey was causing such a dis- turbance in politics. When I got home, I found that my county was a very hotbed of the contest. Its citizens were about equally divided for and against Bailey. The younger men, 1 soon discovered, were Bailey men; the older men were strictly antis. My work in school had been pretty hard, and I had found no time to read the papers and keep myself informed on political issues. I soon saw, however, that I would be compelled to leave town or join one side or the other. It was natural that I should align myself with the young men, and this I did. There were rival candidates in the race for every office in the county except that of County Judge. Old Judge Terrell was the only candidate, a confirmed anti-Bailey man. The young men were bewailing the fact that no one had announced on the Bailey ticket for this place, when one day I jokingly asked them what they thought of my becoming a candi- date, since I was the only young lawyer available. This suggestion met with their approval, and they urged me to run. But I had not thought of the proposition seriously before, and now I began to point out the dif- ficulties in the way. Judge Terrell was one of the best lawyers in the state, an eloquent orator and an experienced politician, while I was only a mere boy with nothing but my newly won diploma with its high sounding L. L. B. to recommend me. My friends, on the other hand, pointed out that the voters would not think of all that, but would vote for me because I was a Bailey man. Another thing that caused me to hesitate to enter the race was the fact that I was in love with the Judge ' s only daughter, Nellie. He had never favored my suit. He didn ' t propose to have his daugh- ter ' s fat dowry wasted on a young lawyer with no prospects but that of several years struggle with poverty, and was anxious to have his daugh- ter marry a young physician who was rapidly becoming rich from his practice in town, and who had been paying his attention to Nellie while I was at the University. Nellie loved me, but refused to marry me as long as her father ob- jected. This was the state of affairs when I returned home; and since 336 they could scarcely be worse than they were, and since there was a bare possibility of my winning out, I finally decided to become a candidate. I studied the Bailey question as I had never studied anything before. I memorized every charge that his enemies made against him and familiarized myself with the answers to the charges. I became heartily interested in the race and more confident of success as the election drew near. Nellie was placed in a very embarrassing position. She wanted us both to win and, with a woman ' s inconsistency, could not bear the idea of either ' s being defeated. One evening when I was calling on her, the judge came into the parlor. He seemed in unusual good spirits and joked me on my audacity and fool-hardiness in opposing him. I took his raillery in good part and assured him that I was going to defeat him. If you do, he said, as he left the room, Nellie is yours, and the plantation to boot. The plantation to which he referred was a large blackland farm, close to town. All right, Judge, I replied, I hope you may never have occasion to regret this rash promise, but be assured, I am going to remember it. Up to this time, it had been merely a matter of pride and self-gratifi- cation to win the race, but now so much was depending upon it I felt I must win at whatever cost, and Nellie agreed with me. It was only a little more than a week till the election, and every day the result was becoming more doubtful. I stumped the county for Bailey ; the judge for anti-Bailey; but we had never spoken together. The final speeches were to be made on July 24th, th e day before the election, when all the candidates were expected to speak at a big barbecue to which people from all over the county would gather. Upon my success or failure on this occasion, would depend my election or my defeat. A few days before the election I called to see Nellie and found her reading in the library. Her father had gone to a neighboring town to make a speech. I had been there only a short time when my eye lighted upon a manuscript on the desk, entitled Baileyism versus Democracy. Of course, Nellie and I at once became interested and proceeded to read the paper. It proved to be the speech which the judge had prepared to speak on the twenty-fourth. It was filled with an eloquent appeal to party spirit and had several rather uncomplimentary thrusts at me. 337 I saw my finish. I heard the applause that would greet that speech and realized how feeble my attempt would seem in comparison, for it had been arranged that the Bailey candidates were to speak first. I knew that my speech would be forgotten in the storm of applause that would greet the judge at the conclusion of this masterpiece. While I sat thinking these by no means pleasant thoughts, Nellie interrupted my meditations with this exclamation: Oh George, I have it, it may not be right, but you must promise me you will do what I say! Will you? When I had rather reluctantly promised, she proceeded: You are a good hand with the typewriter and you memorize quickly; you must make a copy of this speech as I read it to you. You can make a few changes in it and deliver it before papa has a chance. The very boldness of the plan appealed to me, and I decided to obey her suggestion. It was yet early, and before 11:00 o ' clock I departed armed with a copy of the Judge ' s speech, but with its name changed to Baileyism and Democracy, and the shots intended for me directed against their author. I could scarcely wait for the day to come. Since the office of judge was considered the most important, our speeches were reserved for the last. It finally came my turn. I had never addressed one-fourth as many people as now confronted me. Hundreds of eager faces were turned on me when I began. I couldn ' t begin the Judge ' s speech at once, and introduced it as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been urged against me that, since I am a young man, it is unbecoming in me to oppose a gentleman old enough to be my father; that I fail to show a proper respect for age. But I learn from my study of history that it was a young man that led the armies of France to their greatest victory; that it was a young man who awakened the English parliament to a realiza- tion of their duty to the common people; and that it was a young man that made possible this republic that we love so much; and I learn from the study of my Bible, that it was a young man who gave his life to re- deem the world from sin. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I have no apology to make for being a young man. Having gotten control of my voice and the attention of my hearers, I now proceeded with the Judge ' s speech. It was met with frequent applause. I glanced to the Judge and saw that he had become very pale and was gripping his chair fiercely. When I finished speaking, I thought the applause would never stop. A crowd of my school friends who had come to hear me got together and gave the old varsity yell. 3 3 8 When the Judge arose, I couldn ' t keep from trembling and feeling- some compunctions of conscience. 1 looked at Nellie for encourage- ment, but she had left the crowd — the ordeal was too much for her. The Judge, usually so calm and self possessed, was terribly embarrassed. He stammered: Ladies and Gentlemen, I, I don ' t know what to say, I, er d — n it I prepared a speech for today, but that young scoundrel stole it and spoke it to you just now. To prove to you that what I say is true, I am going to speak it to you. And he did. The speech seemed how- ever, to have lost its force and failed to arouse any applause, and the old Judge sat down in anger and disgust. In the election, I received the nomination with a majority of two votes. When I called on Nellie, immediately after the election, I found her in tears. The Judge came in and said: Young man, you win, but I never thought my daughter would be married to such an underhanded rascal as you. This was pretty bad, but as he was to be my father, I could afford to overlook it. I told him I was sorry that I had been forced to act as I had, but that I believed the end justified the means. The next day I wrote an open letter, for the papers, explaining my ac- tions, resigning my nomination, and requesting the executive committee to declare the Judge the party nominee. They accepted my resignation and appointed me to bear the news of his nomination to the Judge. As I did this, I said: Judge, I hope you will accept, and I want to assure you that you have my hearty support. You will do well, if you support yourself and Nellie without bother- ing to support me. Oh, don ' t worry about us, Judge; the plantation will support us all right. L. E. Dudley. 339 THE WINNING OF SUNSHINE THE minute I saw her enter the car I wanted her. She was pretty, attractive, refined, but I scarcely noticed that; she simply looked like an Alpha Zeta. Rose Connell seemed equally impressed, only of course she was a Kappa Theta. When we both crossed the aisle, and both made our little speech of welcome, our eyes met in a cool defiant challenge. I knew the battle was on, but I didn ' t care in the least. Sun- shine Ferral was worth fighting for. The girls all thought so, too. 1 knew they would; you couldn ' t help loving Sunshine. But unfortunately the Kappa Thetas also agreed with Rose. She was their very best girl, and they knew it. By a tacit agreement of the two sororities the real rushing of Sunshine was left to Rose and me. Of course the other girls came in at the big feasts and receptions, but the interesting, the skillful, the artistic part depended upon us two. We were well matched, in as much as we were good friends, and equally determined and enthusiastic. There was nothing little or despicable in our rushing. It was doubtless amusing to outsiders, but it was strictly fair. Rose had the first advantage of showing her to her room, securing her trunks, and explaining the mysteries of the vari- ous corridors. But the next day I escorted her to college, and carried her safely through the ordeal of matriculating and arranging he r course. She sat by Rose at the table, and by me in study-hall. If Rose carried her to church, I carried her to town. It was great fun, meeting and smiling, parrying and working with outward graciousness — I ' ll not speak of our inward feelings. As for Sunshine, she appeared sweetly oblivious of any strained friendliness. Only once, after Rose and I with dogged antagonism had waited at lunch for half an hour while she sipped her coffee, did we dis- cover her under the stairs, her head rammed into a pillow, and her shoul- ders shaking with laughter. There was never such a girl for concealing her preferences. She ate Kappa Theta fudge and Alpha Zeta ice cream with equal delight. Of course the girls didn ' t know what to think. In fact, we scarcely thought at all. We even forgot in the excitement to wonder very much why our rumored transfer from Beta chapter had failed to arrive. But at last spiking day came. We had had our last feast, smiled our last smile, and handed the fatal little bid to Sunshine. We were now gathered in my room to pass the hour of suspense before receiving our final answer, There was a strained atmosphere of cheerfulness, until 340 Bobby turned over the table with a bottle of ink. Then we all gave up, and acknowledged that we were scared and nervous and miserable. Vain- ly we tried to console ourselves. I worked nineteen originals for her. Surely she ' ll be grateful. But Rose wrote her theme, wailed Josie, and Rose is so clever. Oh, my, howled Bobby, 1 refused fried oysters because she didn ' t like them, and ate a whole dozen horrid raw ones. She knows Alma Matthews, I deferred weakly, and likes her fine. Oh, but kiddie, retorted Josie, her cousin is a chum of that old Kappa Theta, Mary Barkley, and she wrote to her; she did, too. How I wish that girl from Beta had come, moaned Bobby, I never knew her name, but I ' m sure she was cute. ' ' I ' ll bet she was a crow, I responded gloomily. I ' m glad she didn ' t come. I don ' t want anybody but Sunshine. Well, go and get her if you can. It ' s five minutes to time, and for goodness sake wash your eyes and powder your nose. Thus admonished and coaxed, I collected my wits, produced a dry handkerchief, crept fearfully down the hall, and stood miserably before Sunshine ' s door. It opened, and out came Rose Connell with the queerest and most suppressed smile and with her eyes looking as if she had been laughing for a week. My heart went right down to the bottom of my shoes, and I had scarcely courage enough to push open the door. Sunshine turned silently as I entered, and stared fixedly out of the window, her whole body tense with emotion. I sat down weakly on the bed, and said nothing. Then almost imperceptibly Sunshine ' s shoul- ders began to quiver; she was going to cry. I could stand it no longer, and tumbled over on the bed, a limp heap of curly pompadour and trail- ing kimona. Then the shoulders shook harder than ever, and Sun- shine was laughing, laughing long and hard and actually as if she en- joyed it. I scrambled up, red-hot with indignation, and made for the door. But Sunshine was there, her left hand clutching my tie and her right wildly seeking my own. Merciful! The Alpha Zeta grip! I sat down again, not mad nor crying, but stupidly staring at Sunshine hopping up and down before me, her hand on her heart, and saying in her mock-dramatic voice : Miss Ferral of Beta! I gasped; I thought of the feasts, the Math., the work, the worry; I fiercely pitched a pillow into the corner. Rush, I vowed, I ' ll never, never rush again. But I did, and I rushed straight at Sunshine. Mary Thomas. 34 1 SPRING T TOW long, how long, in infinite pursuit ■ •- ■ Of this and that endeavor and dispute ! Better fall in love with a pretty girl Than waste your time in compassing the world. Yon know, my friends, how long in my room I have pined for my marriage to happen soon ; Divorced old barren reason from my head, And taken the daughter of fancy to wed. As for English and Math, and Physics and Oh! Don ' t talk to me about them any more; For all just now that I care to know Is some love token from my angel ( Jhloe. At an Annex reception held of late There crossed my path an angel shape Traced with the rainbow in her eye, Which, let but speak, I live or die. ' Tis an eye that can, with logic absolute, The hundred and one theories of philosophy confute ; ' Tis the subtle alchemist that in a trice Life ' s leaden metal into gold entice. But leave the wise to wrangle, and with me The quarrel of the universe let be ; And in some corner of an Annex room Make love to my Chloe — Heaven make me her groom ! For in and about the University, I know, ' Tis nothing but a toilsome, joyless show Played in a box whose candle is the dean, Before whom we Freshmen feel little and mean. Oh, if the love I drink, the lips I long to press End in the answer — may it end in — ? e.s; Then fancy what the result will be and guess That heaven on earth will have come to bless. 342 THE EXPERIENCE OF UNCLE BOB (RETOLD) OME years ago there came to our town one of the most pecu- Sliar old men I have ever known. I don ' t remember his full name; we all called him Uncle Bob and remember him as a thourough bread, to express it in his vernacular. But what I best remember is the way he shut Billy Vandike up on story telling. Billy held the championship of the Aneanias Club, Until uncle Bob came to town, but surrendered when the following story was told. During the spring and early summer of 18 — I traveled over the greater part of Nevada on a bicycle in order to regain my health, and it was there that I had the following experience: One morning I arose at a little inn close to the summit of a moun- tain I had crossed the preceding afternoon, breakfasted by lamp light, and by sunrise was well on my way down the slope. The morning was one of those crisp mornings in spring when there is just enough chill in the air to make the heart light and the blood course freely through the veins. I was riding along at a leisurely rate and was enjoying the spin finely when on rounding a turn before my eyes was unfolded one of those stretches of road that always excites a burst of speed from the cyclist. It was a long even slope, and I could not resist the temptation of speed- ing. I forced my machine to a high rate of speed and was making good time when about a hundred yards ahead of me I noticed a huge diamond rattlesnake coiled directly in my path. My first impulse was to swing over to the other side of the road and let Mr. Rattlesnake enjoy his nap. However, a mischievous idea came into my head that I should run directly over him. Consequently I arose on my pedals, and chuckling to think of the shock I would give him I approached Mr. Rattlesnake at an exceedingly high rate of speed. The front wheel passed over him, then, the back wheel, then I felt something strike me a stinging blow on the ear and that snake passed completely over me, landed in the road, and 1 ran over him a second time. I was proceeding on my jouruey wondering what made me do such a foolish act, when I noticed that my machine did not run with its usual smoothness, and in a little while it became so bad that I could hardly pump it along. I dismounted to see if some bearing had become twisted. Imagine my surprise when I beheld the back tire twice its 343 usual size and visibly swelling. In passing over the snake, the front wheel had passed in safety, but he had struck at the back one, fastened his fangs in it, and been thrown completely over my shoulder into the road again. I was alarmed. It was a situation that called for immediate action ; for if the swelling was not stopped, the entire frame would soon be in- doculated with the poison. I therefore shouldered the machine and walked to the next inn, where I procured a pint of their best ' snake bite, ' and with the aid of my force pump I got some of it into the tire. After about an hour of labor I reduced it to its normal size and was able to proceed on my journey. Pet. THE ELECTIVE SYSTEM OT long ago while en route for Nashville, I came to Spring- N field, where the conductor had informed me I was to change cars. My train was four hours late, audi shivered with dis- gust as I thought of the tedious, nerve racking wait. The ram-shackle depot held its inviting door at a hospitable angle, but the interior was far from inviting; so I passed through and, stepping out, gazed down the dusty streets. An imposing wooden court-house stood in the center of the straggling square, and business was — so far as I could see— conspicuous only by its absence. Wearily I walked around to the west side and turn- ed down a side street. I was agreeably surprised to see a short distance away a group of pretty brick buildings. All at once it dawned upon me that this was the place where Ned Adams, an old school friend of mine, was teaching. So 1 started in that direction and soon came near. The largest of the buildings had a corner stone bearing the legend Elton College, 1875. It was built in the picturesque,, old-fashioned way. There were many steeples surmounted by giddy weather cocks and unstable gilt balls. Unexpected dormers jutting out, nearly knocked each other ' s noses off, and half of the window panes were broken. Passing by a crowd of staring students, I went inside. I thought I had gone into a graveyard. The walls were most profusely imbedded with marble tablets celebrating, in doubtful Latin, deaths of insignificant people; several stained glass windows for the same purpose were in 344 sight; and a memorial fountain vomited streams of muddy water. With my cane, I cautiously felt my way and came to a litte office stuck under a stair-case, labelled, President. 1 knocked and Dr. Adams came to the door. He was very glad to see me, and we talked for some time about our mutual friends. Then naturally our talk drifted to his work. George, he said, you can have no idea how rapidly we are im- proving. Our attendance is increasing; three new chairs have been founded; and two buildings are in process of erection. Look around and you can see how prosperous we are. I had already looked and formed my opinion, but I didn ' t disagree with him. I never like to argue with a man — it ' s a sinful waste of breath. Our requirements have been raised so that we are now as good as the State University, he continued; and we have just completed a very successful year with the elective system. I was much mystified at a sudden burst of laughter from him, but, through sympathy, I laughed with him. Pardon me, George, I ' ll tell you the joke. With shaking sides he began. Year before last when we lost our professor of philosophy, Dr. John Matthews applied for the position. He was a Ph. D. from John Hopkins, and, although he was young and had had no experience in teaching, we were glad to get him. He had expected a snap in his work, but was disappointed, for we required three years of philosophy of all students. I don ' t know why, but it was so before my administration, and I didn ' t change it. We are rather old fogies about some things. I mentally agreed. Well then, Dr. Matthews began to worry us about the elective sys- tem. ' We must keep up with the times and stay abreast of the large Universities, ' he said. We were all impressed by his statements, but we hated to change our course, for it was well arranged. Four years of Latin, Greek, and math., three of physics, chemistry, and philosophy; two of modern languages; and one of English. Don ' t you think that was a good one? I replied that I thought it was. In my own academic youth I had taken all that, but I thought with an inward smile of my son who is at Yale. It ' s all I can do to get him to go there now — what would he do if he had a course like that ? But Dr. Adams failed to notice my amuse- ment, and he went on with his story. 345 Dr. Matthews kept agitating this question, and finally during the summer the trustees, in a special session, decided to inaugurate this sys- tem. He was jubilant. ' Future ages will look back and say, That man laid the foundation of Elton ' s greatness, he declared. ' The next year opened with more students than ever before. This is a fact; of course we, have to claim it every year, but this time it was really so. Our registration committee was busy for four days classifying the students, and I did not see Matthews, until Saturday night he came to my house. He looked troubled and said, ' Dr. Adams, I have only had five applicants for my classes and today I got five drop cards. It seems like no one is going to elect my work. What must I do? ' The humor of the situation flashed upon me, but there was no humor in it to the doctor. ' I don ' t know what you ' re to do. I am sorry you don ' t like the way the elective system is working, but you know we must keep up with the times and stay abreast of the large universities, ' I said Probably the trustees had anticipated something of this kind. At any rate they had made no contract with any of the teachers, so the doctor soon received a courteous little note telling him that his services would be dispensed with at the end of the first semnester. He is now teaching at Fish ' s Academy. I joined heartily in Dr. Adams ' laughter. Envy — ingratitude, — Great Alcides every labor past- Had still this monster to subdue at last, I ((noted. But it was getting near train time. I thanked Ned for the enjoyable even- ing spent with him, and returned through the cemetery hall stationward. It was several months later when I came to Huntberry, where Fish ' s Academy is located. I had forgotten the incident and was talking to a friend when a very distinguished looking man came up and was intro- duced to me as Dr. Matthews. You ' re teaching at Fish ' s, aren ' t you? I asked. When he replied in the affirmative, we conversed at some length about various phases of education. Then I innocently (?) remarked, A short time ago I was talking to the President of Elton College. They have been trying the elective system and are delighted with it. The doctor turned very red. Hydek E. Rollins. 3 4 6 CAUGHT HE snow was falling lightly, and it was growing dark. Few Tof the girls had braved the cold dusk for an after-dinner stroll, so the campus was nearly deserted. Then, too, it was Sun- day, and many were either at Y. W. C. A. or dressing for church. Just once more to the gates, and then we must go in, Nell, for it ' s late. See, there aren ' t more than a dozen out here now, said one girl. They reached the gates, then turned back toward the dormitory, keeping close to the high board fence, for the wind did not blow so strongly there. Suddenly Nell gave an excited little scream. What in the world is that wiggly thing! she exclaimed. Marjorie, her brave companion, stooped to investigate, and found a shivering chicken trying to get under the fence. Oh, let ' s catch it! and she gave a peculiar call. At the sound, four other girls rushed up. Girls, here ' s a chicken, and, if we don ' t catch it, we ' re pikers! ex- claimed both Nell and Marjorie. Just then the chicken made a mad dash for liberty ; but, alas ! Six pairs of hands reached for it, and six girls gave excited little squeals. The chicken gave a loud squawk. For mercy ' s sake, choke it! There ' s Miss Brown coming out at the side entrance, exclaimed one. The squawks were quickly muffled, and each girl stood back against the fence, their dark clothing blending into the shadows. The near- sighted and unsuspecting little English teacher came on and passed, not seeing the still figures through the flying snowflakes. Now, how is this fowl to be killed? whispered one when she dared breathe. I ' ll clean and cook it, but I refuse to kill it, was the answer from every girl. Girls, girls, are we going to have to turn it loose now because none of us is brave enough to kill it? asked Sue. 347 There go Ada and Mary. Maybe they ' ll do it, and the two girls, who were the only others on the campus, were called. Of course I ' ll kill it, said Mary, a timid little girl, who, one would think, would run at the idea of killing even a spider. Now, little chicken, state your last will and testament, Mary said, and the next instant a headless chicken flopped in the snow. All of you except Sue and Nell go in quietly, but be in my room within ten minutes. Sue, you and Nell bring the chicken under my win- dow. I ' ll let a cord down for you to tie it to. These were Marjorie ' s directions as the six scampered away. The two remaining girls stood still in the shadows until they heard Marjorie ' s peculiar whistle. Then they seized the chicken and slipped along through the shadows. When they came under the window of Marjorie ' s room, they hurriedly tied the chicken with the cord found dangling there. They gave it a pull, then bolted. Let ' s go in at the side entrance. May be we won ' t meet anybody there, said Nell, and the two girls slipped through the door, to run against the History teacher, who was just coming out. Young ladies, what are you doing out of the building after the din- ner hour? Why, Miss Carleton, we only walked to the gates and back. Did you not hear President Willson announce in chapel on last Tuesday morning that, since it was dnsk at six o ' clock, you were not to leave the building after that hour? I shall have to report you, said Miss Carleton, as she passed out. The girls fled. Hateful old tiling! But I don ' t care, that will be just five, and they are the first demerits I ' ve gotten this year, said optimistic Nell. In Marjorie ' s room they found six excited girls, all talking in whis- pers and at once. Come on, there ' s a vacant room on fourth floor, between the two society halls, and no one will ever find us there, said Marjorie as she wrapped the chicken in newspapers. Each one of you bring something that is needed and for heaven ' s sake don ' t let a teacher see you. Hurry now, all of you. Soon the eight had assembled, and the door was barred. One had brought a chafing dish; another alcohol; others had butter, salt, crackers, and water. 348 Kail to, girls, we ' ll have to skin it, for we haven ' t any water to scald it, and, anyhow, it would take too long to pick it, directed Mar- jorie, in whispers. Before long the chicken was dressed, and they began preparations for cooking it, but some one was heard coming down the long hall. There ' s Miss Brown back from her walk; and, if she is near-sighted, she can hear only too well. Take off your shoes and don ' t breathe. 0, why didn ' t we remember she roomed on this hall? exclaimed one frightened girl. The shoes were removed quietly; and as the footsteps died away at the farther end of the hall, a great sigh passed through the crowd. Two girls began to powder cracker crumbs, for they had no Hour to roll the chicken in. Others went on with other preparations. Suddenly Marjorie jumped up. I have a glass of jelly in my room, and I ' m going to get it. I ' ll give three short raps when I come back so you ' ll know to let me in, she said. Better not go, honey, for Miss Brown will be sure to hear you. No, she won ' t, either. Remember, three short raps, and she slip- ped out, and the door was locked behind her. A moment later there sounded three nervous raps. Let her in quick. She must have seen a teacher, whispered Sue. Nell opened the door part way and almost closed it again when Miss Brown said, Girls, what are you doing in here? We came up here to eat some crackers and things that we had. That doesn ' t hurt, does it? returned Nell. No, but I smell alcohol. You are not making fudge on Sunday, are you? No indeed, that is against the rules, and anyhow, we haven ' t any sugar or chocolate. Well, but it seems to me that I smell alcohol. I believe I ' ll come in for a minute. Certainly, Miss Brown, and Nell threw the door wide open. All the girls were to their feet, and, as the near-sighted little lady en- tered, they silently but swiftly lied past her. Seven girls in stocking feet were soon quaking in their rooms. 349 The teacher sat down with a What in the world is that? as she gazed wonderingly at the feathers. Unfortunately the unsuspecting Mar- jorie returned at this moment with her jelly. The irate Miss Brown had now discovered that the girls had tied, also what the feathers were. Consequently, when Marjorie made her appearance, there was no escape. So she rather unwillingly submitted to a lecture. When at last the teach- er had used all her vocabulary, she collected eight pairs of shoes into her skirts and walked out, leaving Marjorie with the chicken. We ' re in for it now, but I don ' t believe she ' ll come back, and we can cook that chicken yet. I ' m going to hunt up the girls, soliloquized Marjorie, and closing the door she slipped away. Half an hour later nothing remained of the chicken, except bones and feathers. Possibly they didn ' t enjoy fried chicken quite as much as they had anticipated— it was very tough. When all who cooked chicken on Sunday night are ordered to call on Prexie in the morning, don ' t faint girls, said Marjorie, as she started for her room. Monday morning the sun rose over a bright, snow-covered world. It- was just the day for outdoor fun, and all the girls in Willson ' s Select School for Young Ladies were apparently very happy, but eight smil- ing faces were only masks. The eight were very much frightened. Their fear did not lessen when the dignified President arose in chapel. After the usual Monday morning lecture, he requested that eight young ladies would please call on Miss Brown and get their shoes. Afterward they would report at his office. My stai ' S, he ' ll send us home, for he looked positively furious, gasped Mary, the murderer of the innocent chicken. Eight frightened girls called for their shoes.. Next came Prexie. Each young lady marched down with a don ' t care face, but with an in- ward quaking. Each returned with a wobbly smile and tears in her eyes. He ' s a reg-regular a-an-gel, wheezed Marjorie, while she dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. He-he made me fe-el so m-mean. I-I ' ll never cook a chicken on S-Sunday again. Tru-ly I-I never 1 will. And he-he only gave us t-ten demerits. I-I ' m going tog-go to church every single S-Sunday night after this. S-See if I d-dou ' t. Anna Lois McFarland. 350 PARALLEL AEALLEL! It is really a most remarkable name— there is something - so unobtrusive, so mildly conciliatory. It is equal to the benign look on our dear professor ' s face when he an- nounces, Here is a little German book, only 259 pages, very interesting, which we will read as parallel these six weeks, or, There are ninety Essays. Only outline them, and then note the words, sentences, figures, and illustrations — very brief notes, but you know it is just parallel. Parallel, that ' s all. We took it in good faith once. Our ideas, we acknowledge, were very vague. Those of us who had studied Geometry smiled happily. Parallel lines had always been easy. They were easy to draw; the length didn ' t matter, so we didn ' t have to measure. In about a week we discovered that these new parallel lines could not be measured. Our old definition was taking an alarmingly practical turn: — Two parallel lines are lines that lie in the same plane, and will not meet however far they are pro- duced. Would parallel never end? This is the greatest difficulty with parallel. It sounds so easy, means so little, and demands so much. We start off sensibly — a little work here and there. Parallel means on the side, you know. But pretty soon we don ' t play tennis quite as often, the chafing-dish is growing rusty, the Alcove is losing its weekly attraction, on Sunday we are desperately ill, our hair is more often straight than curly. Finally, we order a dime ' s worth of candles. We collect all the blankets, a box of crackers, and hide away like rats in their holes. Here, through the long, cold, ghostly night, we get up— our parallel. In the morning those that have survived go to college. What matters then all our toil and suffering — our parallel is done? No! Before taking up your note-books, I wish to assign the work for the next time. Verily, verily, parallel knows no end. As to the uses of this most ingenuous contrivance, we as students are apt to be a little doubtful. But looking at it in an impartial light, there are really some advantages. First, it has the most laudable effect of upholding the professor ' s dignity. There is so much work too unim- portant to consider in class. We can do it as well by ourselves, and re- port to him. Then again, he is kept constantly in our minds. There is little need for us to feel and see the greatness of his presence; we have him every minute of the day. Finally, we know ourselves; most of us 35 1 know our laziness. For the man who wrests from ns such work and so much work we can have nothing but respect. Furthermore, none of us can deny that parallel does keep us out of mischief. How much energy for pranks and stolen walks has been ex- pended in Livy and the terrors of Paradise Lost! The mere time con- sumed in parallel is not of such importance. We become so steeped in wisdom and genius that we fairly cease to care for these frivolities. How can we appreciate the crude expression of his love, when we have just been dreaming over Romeo and Juliet. Town seems rather dull after avenging Helen in ancient Troy. Oh, yes, parallel does heighten our intellectual tone. But all of these are more or less hidden and personal effects. If you will come to breakfast at the Annex one morning, you will get a more respectful opinion of parallel. How did you outline that seventy-ninth essay! How does Satan look? Oh, I haven ' t begun my Spanish yet. You would think our life was a mere parallel. And I do not know that you would be so far wrong. Girls have to talk because they are sup- posed to talk; and what would they do without parallel? There is no subject, not even Mood Hall, quite so generally interestingand exhaustive. We all have parallel, we always shall have parallel, and the eternal things of life, so they say, are the best topics of conversation. THE TENDERFOOT WHO COULD NOT TAKE A JOKE T was the time of day when man and beast were exhausted. I The cow camp was taking its rest. Some of the boys were amusing themselves with a noisy game of poker. Others were lounging on the banks, listening to -James King, already dubbed Shorty, spin some of his startling college yarns. An- other bunch was studying how they could break in the ten- derfoot. Shorty was a new acquisition, and he was still re- gained as a tenderfoot. The boss made known his intention to break camp within a week for better grazing land. The news soon spread to the girls around. Accordingly, the young ladies for fifty miles around proposed a fare- well dance. Eagerly the invitation was accepted. Preparations were begun. The floor of a log house was thoroughly 35 ' 2 scoured, and a cowboy was sent to the nearest store for refreshments, consisting of a various assortment of cigars, gum, and peanuts. Every preparation was ended. The sun had slowly set. The time for the eventful dance was near. In the cow camp all was hustle and confusion. Shorty was vainly endeav- oring to stroke the wrinkles out of his dress suit, a souvenir of college days. At last all the boys had their boots waxed, their ties tied, and their ridiculous bows practiced to perfection. Simultaneously, thirty light-hearted cowboys mounted and they were off. A devilish dream of humor glistened from their eyes, a thing that bade no good for Shorty ' s pleasure. Amid the flopping of Shorty ' s coat tails, his name could be heard discreetly pronounced. Evidently fun was brewing. After a gallop of twenty-five miles, the boys reached the scene of the festivities. As they dismounted and tied their blowing horses, the squeaky waltz of Old Black Joe and Turkey in the Straw were heard issuing from the dancing room. Unceremoniously, with a devil-may-care air, courtesies were ex- changed, and the dance was on. With an air of evident superiority, Shorty led with pretty Miss Smith. As he kept faultless time, his coat tails played funny pranks, amid the clank of his silver spurs. The onlookers made various speculations regarding the ancestry and pedigree of Shorty ' s spike-tail coat. Unconscious of all but the eager light in Miss Smith ' s eyes and the thumping of his own heart, Shorty danced until beads of perspiration ab- sorbed all the starch in his standing collar. Shorty walked out into the darkness to breathe freely and to calm his palpitating heart. Soon afterwards Tom Smith, the blind brother of Shorty ' s love, rushed into the room, lamenting sadly the loss of his share of the dance, consisting of a dozen peanuts. He asserted, between sobs, ' that he had been assaulted and robbed of his precious property. From the knowing winks and suppressed laughs of the cowboys, the culprit must and would be punished ere the daybreak. Dancing was resumed, Shorty claimed his smiling partner, and they tipped the light fantastic till the family clock struck two. Hastily ten- der words were whispered and fond good-byes said. As they gallopped towards the camp, whispered words and indistinct mutterings could be vaguely heard. It seemed that all joined in but Shorty, and his name was in each sentence. 353 He was oblivious of it all, for his mind was in a whirl. He was think ing of the tender words the bewitching Miss Smith had daintily whispered in his ear. At a given signal, all dismounted in a canyon, with the exception of the doomed Shorty. They hastily assisted him to dismount, court was called to order, with the usual formality. The jury having been previously impaneled, and all the necessary officers appointed, the charge was read. It asserted the heinous crime of one James King, alias Shorty, of stealing twelve peanuts from a blind, defenseless boy, known as Thomas Smith. He received the charge with amazement. All looked serious and no word was spoken. The trial was in dead earnest, at least on the defendant ' s part. Will- ing witnesses presented themselves to offer sentences of untarnished truth. The evidence had been so well prepared that nothing short of con- viction could be hoped for. The first witness declared in solemn tones that he saw Shorty chasing a seeming phantom, overtake it, and wrench something from it by main strength. The second witness, in loud accents, swore that he recognized both the plaintiff and defendant in their mad race. Furthermore, that as Shorty passed, something hard in his coat- tail pocket stuck him a vicious blow. The third witness swore that Shorty tried vigorously to trade him peanuts and hard biscuits for cigars. Last of all, the cook swore to have seen Shorty fill his pockets with cold biscuits, previous to the start for the dance. With this, the judge de- clared the testimony ended. The opposing attorneys made stirring appeals for their sides of the case. With tears streaming down his cheeks Shorty plead for mercy. The judge handed the jury his written charge. They retired for a decision. It was not long in coming. The foreman saluted the judge and in a voluminous voice read, We, the undersigned jurors, find the defendant, James King, guilty of the crime in question and assess a fine of fifty dollars. Holding their sides with convulsion of laughter the cowboys remount- ed and turned their faces toward the camp. Shorty remained motionless, weeping at first, then cursing. He then mounted his mustang and start- ed for Fort Worth, Texas, swearing vengeance on the whole bunch of villains and robbers. The boys were sorry the affair ended as it did, but all agreed that it served Shorty right, for he could not take a joke. 354 ANOTHER EXPERIENCE ALLUCINATIONS of any kind have always had a strange fas- cination for people of every degree of civilization. From the savage sitting by his camp tire to the financier sitting in his palace, or the teacher sitting in his school room, any form of mystery has a fascination that is as undeniable as it is inexplic- able. This is one thing that civilization has never been able to remove from the path of man. Instances are on record of men who have delved deep into the sciences, studied the mysteries of life, pondered the problem of existence, and have even gone so far as to be able to force the heart to action when, normally, it should have ceased hours before, and, yet, in an instant have been thrown almost into convulsions by the uncanny movements of the dead. I know of one instance where a murderer was forced to a confession of his crime and was hung because of a sound made by a sleeping horse that resembled the snore of the person killed twenty years before. Many instances have been told of a dead person moving a hand or a foot even after the heart ' s action had long since ceased, when the entire crowd of those present would precipitate themselves headlong from the room, through doors, windows, and in some instances almost through the walls themselves. People have been known to run miles with a window sash hung about their necks, fastened there when they made a headlong dive through a window to escape from the object of their fright. Through the twenty-two years of my existence, I have witness- ed but one hallucination and that happened less than a week ago. Be- cause of its peculiarity, and while it is fresh in my mind, T will tell you the exact details just as I remember them and leave you to work out the remainder. The beginning of my trouble was a fall I sustained in the gymnasium, temporarily disabling me and giving me a high fever. Since one finger, my left wrist and elbow, and my right knee were all knocked out of joint, my fever was slow in rising, but equally as slow about going down. It was about twelve o ' clock, or possibly an hour or two after midnight, following the afternoon on which I was hurt, that my fever was nearing its climax. Tossing to and fro on the bed, my mind and body racked with pain, and unable to sleep because of the agony of both, I whiled away the hours of the night as best I could and waited for the tardy dawn to come. 355 Dawn comes so slowly that ' tis impossible to tell when it has arrived. Many times have I watched for it, and as many times been disappointed in my efforts to find even the approximate time when the first faint light makes itself felt. You have doubtless had the same disapp ointment, when, saying- to yourself, It surely must be nearing dawn, you turn over to realize that it is even then lighter than it was when last you no- ticed the darkness. The dawn at last came, and, lying in the bed, I watched the slow process of lighting the eastern sky. Slow as was the process, it was ex- tremely interesting, for the focusing of the light to the point on the hori- zon where the sun was to rise was carried on with so many tints and changes of color that its beauty was charming. From my position in bed, resting on my right elbow, the light was focusing directly on the opposite side of the half finished house of Prof. Amos — the rafters, as it were, barring the sun as though it were held in gaol. So strange a picture did it offer, I sat up on the side of my bed, raised the window to its full height, and watched with a feverish excite- ment made almost unbearable by the suffering I was at that time under- going. The sun slowly continued to redden the whole eastern sky, tingeing the lowering black clouds with a border of boiling gold, radiating heat in every direction, and the cloud was continually settling, as it were, giving the gold back to the sun— the sun coming forward to receive it. .lust as the sun peeped up from behind the hill and looked through the bars at me, the form of a man, whose skeleton frame stood forth di- rectly on the sun, was turned full faced toward me. One arm was out- stretched, pointing to the north, and the other was folded behind his back. The sun could be seen through his eyes and nose and through the spaces between the bones, while the head nodded frantically up and down as the figure moved back and forth behind the bars. Suddenly the figure was joined by a host of others, first indistinctly seen, but gradually growing plainer, until they could be seen as distinctly as the grim spectre who still stood in front of them. Every right arm was pointed to the north, and every left arm folded behind the back of everybody. And ever they danced on the face of the sun behind the bars, and ever their heads con- tinually bobbed up and down as they moved. As I watched, in an instant they were gone, and I knew they were the skeletons of those who failed in German — the foremost being myself Akthuk Delmar. 356 PATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE By E. V. C. PUNKINVILLE CENTER, Oct. 1, 1908. Deae Son, You have been down there at college now about two weeks; and I imagine that the home sickness is breaking out on you pretty thick by this time. Don ' t let it get the best of you, son. If you do and come piking in home, I ' ll buckle you down across my lap and raise the temperature around the bosom of your trousers to about 200 de- grees in the shade. I have sent you down there to college, son, so as to try to make something out of you. [You must understand that it is an experiment and the result depends entirely on you.] I want you to learn to cipher and to geography and to physic. I want you to learn how to monkey with algebray and philosophy and all them kinds o ' things. Above all, I don ' t want you to let your book learnin ' make a fool of you. Try to cultivate and improve ou what com- mon sense you ' ve got so that you won ' t be ashamed of your old daddy who don ' t part his hair in the middle and wear peg-legged breeches, and who don ' t always know who the president-elect is the next morning after the election, but generally manages to scramble around and find out be- fore his term expires. About the time you get half way through your freshman year, you will doubtless imagine that the sum total of all knowledge is just about to take up a permanent abode in that mental cavity of yours. But lie not deceived, for nothing is farther from the truth. When that feeling begins to come over you, I want you to lay everything aside and go away off in the woods. I want you to lie down in the shade of a tree and think over your ways for about two hours. I think an appropriate text for your meditatation would be the following wo rds of Solomon: Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit! there is more hope of a fool than of him. After you have churned this idea around in your cranium for about two hours, I think you will come to yourself and be able, perhaps, to appre- ciate and to take comfort in the fact that the Lord preserveth the simple. ' ' That old yeller hen that hasn ' t laid an egg since the surrender, has 357 succumbed to another overwhelming desire to set. She has been setting now for two weeks on an old door knob. She reminds me of some folks. Her intentions are good, but she is away off on her method. Your mother sends her love. She still thinks you are the most bril- liant specimen of God ' s handiwork now cumbering the face of the earth. I take a more conservative view of your merits. I love you and all that, and I wouldn ' t take fifteen million dollars for you, but I wouldn ' t give fifteen cents for another one just like you. Affectionately, Your Father. PUNKINVILLE CENTER, Feb. 15, 1909. My Dear Son, Yours of recent date to hand and contents noted. In the matter of funds, will say that I can ' t send you as much as you asked for, but am enclosing you a dark blue money order for ten dollars, which, I hope, will tide you over a few days longer. I want you to understand, son, that I am making a good many sacrifices to keep you in college, and I don ' t want you to imagine that your sole object in college is to wear the very latest, loudest style of raiment, and to have your hair cut in the latest fashion . That reminds me of the picture you sent since you had yo ur hair cut last. That certainly was the unkindest cut of all. You must be trying to make a porcupine out of yourself. Now if the lord had intend- ed for you to wear bristles, He would have put them on. Don ' t try to improve on the plan of the Almighty, son. He did the best He could with the material He had, and the more you monkey with His business the worse you make it. There may be some people to whom this style of tonsorial architecture is becoming, but you are not one of them. No, after careful, and, I may say, almost prayerful, consideration of the mat- ter, I have come to the conclusion that you do not belong to that set. Your mother is still mighty strong on you, although you have taxed her love mightily with this latest stunt. I came upon her yesterday look- ing at that picture in a sort of sad and wistful way. It seemed to me that she was trying to pick out points of resemblance between the hill-billy, pugilistic features of that picture and the mental image of her erstwhile handsome son. But I could see her love shining through it all, and I 358 believe she intends to stick to you, even if you do insist on making your- self look like a bench-legged fice. Last Friday night there was an exhibition down at the school house. Your brother Bob recited ' The Charge of the Light Brigade, in a voice that sounded like a cross between a steam caliope and a cat fight. Your sister recited an original poem on the seasons and received congratula- tions from everybody present. The editor of the local paper, who comes out here to see her every Sunday, said it was a perfect dream of poesy, and is going to put it in the paper. The first stanza goes like this: The seasons come, The seasons go, They never cease Their ceaseless flow ; They don ' t know Where they ' re go- ing, but they ' re On the way. Cute, ain ' t it? That old yeller hen that hasn ' t laid an egg since the woods were burned is trying to set again. Blast her old feathers! She ' s got a pile of rocks under her this time. Trying to hatch out a gravel pit, I reckon. Your mother sends her love, and I ' m doing my best not to sour on you on account of that hair-cut. Now, son, if, while you are trying to adorn the outside of your pate, you will, at the same time, let the ideas which you find in your text-books seep into the inside, I ' ll call it square, and try, in my poor, meek way, to bear up under your tom-foolery. Youk Father. Punkinville Center, March II, 1909. Dear Son, Yours of recent date to hand. Glad to hear from you again. You seemed to be just a little crusty about what I said in regard to that hair- cut. Now, son, don ' t try to get obstreperous with your old father. I may be getting a little old and stiff in my joints, but I still cherish the opinion that I could spread you out across my lap and administer a fath- erly rebuke with a barrel stave. 359 I am out in the kitchen writing this letter to you. Your mother has the rest of the house occupied with a forty-two party. The forty-two party has become an established institution in this town. It comes around almost as regularly as meal time. I have come to the conclusion that this community needs less forty-two and more fortitude. Of course, I wouldn ' t dare say that in the presence of your mother. It would be as much as my dignified position as head of this family is worth to do that. You say you are thinking of entering an oratorical contest! Now, son, your old father don ' t know much about rhetoric, and grammar, and composition, but I have seme idea of the eternal fitness of things; so here goes for a little advice: Don ' t try to solve all the problems of the coun- try in one oration. Good men and wise men have been working on these problems for quite a spell now, and nobody expects a sap -headed college youth to come along and solve them all in a jiffy. Avoid the spread- eagle style; eschew the bombastic. Never use a four-bit word when a two-bit one would do just as well. Don ' t go out of your way to express a thought in language that resembles a rainbow run riot at both ends. Avoid such expressions as high ideals, glorious possibilities, and men with indomitable wills and galvanized backbones. These things contain truths, perhaps, but they have been worked for all they are worth by all the massive-browed seniors who have flourished since the birth of time, and no longer strike anybody as being original. That editor is still coming out here to see your sister. He has a rival now in the person of the village schoolmaster. The professor wears a little derby, which is about two numbers too small for him, and makes him look like Happy Hooligan. Your sister has written an ode to it, which starts off like this: Thou wee small, fetching, little lid, Thou art the cutest sky-piece that ever did Aloft ov ' e classic features sit; But thou makest an awful fit. The old yellow hen has been setting now for four weeks on that pile of rocks, and seems determined to hold out faithful till death sets her free. She is setting an example in persistency which is certainly worthy of emulation. If your mother gets through with her forty-two party before I send 360 this letter oft , I ' ll ask her if she wants to seud her love. I dare not in- terrupt her now. Affectionately, Your Father. THE LAW OF EVOLUTION Delivered at Southwestern University at the Sophomore Centennial, Sept. 26, 1857. Fellow Sophomores: A century ' s projection into the illustrious past locates the immortal point in which colleges discovered the Sophomore Class and made it the goal of educational ideals. We have assembled ourselves to celebrate this Sophomore Centennial, and I have been solicited to address you on the all-absorbing subject, The Law of Evolution. This Master Law operates all the elements and forces of both mind and matter. All molecules and motions, thoughts and theo- ries, facts and feelings, angelic hosts and human relations, live and move and have their being in the limitless embrace of this Divine Law. Ge- ologists declare that this world of ours was originally one of the glass mar- bles with which Jupiter and Neptune played when they were children on the Golden Border of Time. The best scientists tell us that onr great sun was at one time but a pure serene ray of light beaming forth from a bright gem that the Law of Evolution held in the dark, unfathomed cave of the Ocean of Eternity. The best botanists of modern years assert that the mighty storm that moves across the country to-day, wrecking the forms of nature, crushing cities, and obliterating human lives, was in the be- ginning the mere breath of Adam and Eve ' s fair Lily of Love, a flower born to blush and be seen and exhale its sweetness in the Eden air. Yes, my fellow Sophomores, this Law of Evolution is the universal law. Psychologists tell us that the human mind was at first a mere va- cant space in a protoplasmic germ, and that it climbed up through the 361 Night of Progress, passing through all the forms of animal life, halting for a season in the head of the monkey, and finally coming to a climax in the cranium of man. The evolution of woman is peculiarly interesting. At one period in the world ' s history, woman was but a pining pain in the sick side of man. -And Once upon a midnight dreary Adam slumbered sick and weary, Dreaming of his pining pain So very sick and sore, Slowly on there came a tapping, As if some one sadly rapping, Rapping at his sick-side door — Only woman, nothing more. Aud thus while man slumbered and slept, the law of evolution gradu- ally developed one of his right ribs into a lovely lady; and when he awoke from his deep sleep and perceived the object of beauty in his presence, he smote his hand upon his side and said: What great things evolution hath wrought! Love owes its existence and growth to the Law of Evolution. When man was Mr. Monkey, he courted Miss Monkey on the limb of a cocoa- nut tree. The beau did not bring flowers to his belle, but he cracked his cocoanuts and ate with her the animal feast of love. This was courtship in its crude form. The Law of Evolution has developed and perfected love, and now it is the most sacred tie in human relations. And not only this — astronomers inform us that the Law of Evolution has lifted the re- lation of love to the heavenly spheres, and that once every hundred years, when Mother Sun veils her face in sleep and Father Gravity relaxes his muscles in slumber, the stars steal out from their fixed places and meet in courting couples, and that the stately Mr. Mars has been seen walking up and down the Milky-Way with the queenly Miss Saturn at his side. Finally, my fellow Sophomores, let me exhort you to keep in harmo- ny with this master Law of Evolution. Suffer not your ambition to in- fluence you to try to workout the perfection of your wisdom independent- ly of this law; for, though it works slowly, it works surely, and its ultimate aim is the supreme good of man. Do not cease to trust in the Universal Law, and it will continue to bring to you the sweet riches of love and the true treasures of wisdom. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. J. J. Walling. 362 t DCXXX r-mty l_T t I .

His virtues was not like that of James the Second. Oliver Oormwell and his bitterest enemies themselves being judges and destitute of private virtues. We charge him of having broken the coronation oath, and praying at six o ' clock in the morning. He hearing of this took his son upon his knee and kissed him. We ac- cuse him of breaking the rights of our country. They all accuse him of everything he done but would not think of their own faults. AN ALL SOUTHWESTERN FOOT BALL TEAM Centee. — Jno. R. Allen. Biggest all-round man and a passer. Right Guaed. — Martin Conrad Amos. Heavy man of staying quali- ties, as demonstrated in handling German classes. Left Guaed. — Wes C. Vaden. A man of grit and a man of experi- ence in stopping and holding lines (of horses). Left Tackle.— Steve (sleepy) H. Moore. He has plenty of wind, scads of it, and possesses holding qualities. Right Tackle. — Abert Pegues. A man of experience m blocking lines of underclassmen in their rush for sheepskins. Right End. — Edwin Mouzon. Undoubtedly the fastest man ever seen in the Southwest (ern) , a man of infinite reach and grasp. Ask any mem- ber of his class. Left End.— Johnnie Reedy. Popular, agile, experienced, fast (with the ladies). Has had three years ' experience in breaking up plays on the registration committee. Quaetee Back.— No doubt this belongs to Bobbie Hyer, who by skillful management of faculties, frats and barbs, has shown the greatest ability the world has ever seen in matter of head work. He is fast, as shown by the manner in which he passes his physics classes. Full Back. — Claude C. Cody. An age of experience behind him and 364 has bucked the lines of freshmen and sophomores for 30 years. His great weight (of head in mathematics) is a very valuable asset. Right Half.— Dud Miles. An unsurpassed physique, skillful head work, a good dodger (has dodged all women who have sought bis hand and heart). He is so fast that 150 freshmen in English I were laid out on the field and remained busted. Left Half. — Smiling Sammie Barcus. A man of infinite tact in catching Mood Hallers on a lark. He stays with his men and position and is always in the game. With this team, the highdeal (ideal) is selected. They can knock down, outrun, and laugh at all opposing teams. CONTKIBUTED.

And the Freshman ' s soul went sailing out Into the dark and dismal regions Plutonian ; And imps and devils, with gleeful shout, Conveyed him straight to Pluto ' s Court. 367 HINTS TO THE WISE You may talk too much oil the best of subjects. Beware of meat twice boiled. As charms are nonsense, nonsense is a charm. Rodgers: The wind blew all the windows out of Dr. Allen ' s room. Dr. Hyer: Did the glass fall on the outside? Prof. Tinsley: Mr. Morphis, how many kinds of deers are there? Mr. Morphis : There are two kinds : The deers arid the dears. Miss Beretta: Blanche, what kinds of pets are you most fond of? Miss Corry: Oh! I just adore a cur (Kerr). Prof. Pegues in English III : Mr. Rollins, can you name America ' s three greatest humorists! Rollins: Bill Nye, Mark Twain, and S. H. Moore. Dr. Hyer: Miss Miller, what color is water? Miss Mil lei-: Sometimes it is green. Dr. Hyer: That depends on who is looking at it. For information on keeping the body erect and giving it that grace- ful swing see Dan Root. Thou hast been faithful over many things, I will give you more (Moore) to-morrow. Mr. Miles, while target shooting: I believe I will make a target of my picture. Miss Long: No don ' t. The gun would make a kick. Miss Fleming: Can ' t Mr. Chapman kick the foot-ball a long way? Miss Miller: Oh! His feet are so strong. Prof. Tinsley: Can you mention any amphibion besides the bull- frog? Miss Riley: Yes, I think the tadpole is one. Dr. Allen: I don ' t think old maids should be. Miss Beretta: Doctor, please tell us how we can prevent it. 368 Prof. Miles, to Mood-Hall boarder: Give us an example of alliter- ation. Mood-Hall boy: Please pass the peas. Jewel Fleming: I am just crazy to wear my new hat Sunday. Knowles: I didn ' t know the cause. A donkey ' s voice, a mocking bird ' s legs, no wonder he sings — Huff or Hawkins in library to Eogers: What are you doing in here! Rogers: I have come in to see if I can do some good. Hawkins: Don ' t you know that the ouly way you can ever do the world any good is to donate your body for scientific experiment? Rogers: Yes, but science is not well enough advanced yet to analyze the delicate tissues of my brain. Hawkins: Well, then, let them work on your gall. Prof. Pegues, giving Eng. V. Exam.: You may write till twelve o ' clock or till you have run out of soap. Dobie: Professor, I haven ' t anything but lie (lye) soap. Will that do? A GERMAN ESSAY (A translation of the introduction to an original German essay by E.V.Cole. Subject: Wilhelm Tell.) William Tell was a man. He was uot a boy. He was not a girl. He was not a woman. He was a man. That is clear, is it not! It is said the Beau of the town went to the Annex one evening last fall to call on one of the members of the faculty. He went to the studio of Miss B., but would not disturb her, as she was taking her milk. Not wishing to lose the evening, he called at the studio of Miss A., but she was just leaving to go to her room to take her milk. Being not easily discouraged, he went to the studio of Miss P-n, but she had gone for her milk. Ever persevering, he thought he would go to the old wing and call for Miss P-k, but as he crossed the gallery he met Camilla, and she was taking her milk. 369 370 MOOD HALL Mood Hall, the finest dormitory in the South, was opened for the first time in September, 1908, with 125 boarders. The hall has ninety bedrooms. It is handsomely finished, heated by steam, lighted by elec- tricity, with bath-rooms and sewerage on each floor. The table board is as good as may be had in Georgetown. The well lighted and well venti- lated rooms, together with many other conveniences, make Mood Hall a most desirable boarding place. The government of the students in the hall is largely in their own hands, being administered by a council of eight members elected from their own number. AN EXTRACT FROM A PREP ' S LETTER Mood Hall is a boys ' boarding house. It is big and is made out of some white rocks that they dug out of the ground somewhere close to here. It has got three floors in it; one on top, one on bottom, and one in the middle. The boys on the top and middle floors sometimes make a little noise to keep the ones under them from studying too hard. And we are all kind and good to one another, for we are all good boys anyhow. We are all smart, too, and don ' t have to study much, so we have an awfully lovely time. The faculty didn ' t know we were going to be as good so we are, for they put some teachers over here to live with us and make us be good, but they never do have anything to do. The ones they put here are J. Sam Barcus, and they call him superintender of us, and G. A. Benedict, and he is Business Manager. He has to buy our grub and pay the bills and plan with the cook how much to feed us and how to cook it, how to make old biscuits taste new and all such chores as that. He is just like one of us boys, and likes to see us play and all that, but he has got some habits we don ' t much like. He gets up sometimes and tells us that it is the end of the month, and he will be in his office at certain hours and we don ' t care to know anything about that. And he has a little of our money keeping it for us, and when somebody comes butting in and breaks down our bed or punches out the window, he won ' t give it back to us when we want it. But Sam is alright, he is not near so young as Bennie, but he makes a pretty good boy. He walks around in the halls sometimes to see if he can find somebody to play with, but he always conies when we are want- ing to study some. They keep a little court up here, and he is judge of it. They have ju- 37 1 rors and prosecutors and defenders and witnesses and criminals, but we are glad to tell you there ain ' t no gaol. These jurymen and lawyers are elected by us other boys from our own section. A section is made out of about seven or eight rooms. We call our representatives Section Bosses, but the teachers call them Councilmen, and all of them together are named a Council. They don ' t do much, though. Just keep us quiet enough so we won ' t disturb the Annex and the students out in town who have to study harder than we do. They haven ' t made many rules for us. Only they said for us to be gentlemen, and we were that already, so they haven ' t done a bit of good. We would advise all boys who want to have a good time and grow fat (?) to buy board at Mood Hall. SOME THINGS OF WHICH MOOD HALL CAN BOAST The Greatest Scholar.— The difference between what Dr. Curry knows and what he thinks he knows is the sum total of human knowledge; therefore, in his ego is all the knowledge of the universe. (The logic of the above statement is all right because it has been approved by Dobie, the greatest logician.) The Greatest Acrobat. — Theodore Abraham Tunnell is his name. (He was named for the strenuous one, but his nature rebelled). Ted- dy ' s chief claim to celebrity grows out of his gallantry. His greatest feat consists in turning cart wheels before the Annex line — to amuse Mrs. Tutwiler. The Longest Law. — It has been called out of its obscurity only once. On that occasion, Hallowe ' en night last, its appearance created surprise and consternation in Annex circles. The Greatest Farce: The Council also meets in regular sessions To convict others of its own digressions. It gives us little senate laws, Then sits attentive to its own applause. In the early part of the year, before Dr. Mouzon had moved his fam- ily from San Antonio, and while the worthy doctor was boarding at Mood Hall, he entertained one Sunday at dinner the head of Mood Hall ' s culi- nary department, Prof. Benedict. The visitor was very profuse in his compliments of the dinner, whereupon the hostess replied (not knowing the Professor ' s relation to Mood Hall): Yes, I always try to fix up something good for the doctor when he comes home. He doesn ' t get much to eat at his boarding house in Georgetown. 372 THE GRAD PARTY AT MOOD HALL One Thursday morning- in the latter part of February there came a hushed whispering - sound from a cluster of under-elassmen and Preps. One could hear the words Grads-party-rine. What dire offense from am ' rous causes springs, What mighty quarrels rise from trivial things. For why should the Grads are going to have a Party at Mood Hall to-night set into motion all the mental forces (which are few, I aver,) of such a galaxy of noble men? When eve was come and the Grads were donning their best, soft foot-treads were heard combined with a mumbling sound coming from the hall: then the door of the Grad ' s room was seized and barred with ropes and bed slats. O wretched Grad! Was it for this that you Have toiled and worked four long years through? Then thinking they had conquered, this wrathful band withdrew, laughing at the discomfiture of their victims. But ah, noble sirs, what means that grating sound? See, it ' s one of your victims removing the drawbridge. He takes his door down and faces this band of mighty men. Look, again, most ambitious band, there is another daring to scale the walls and mount the parapets. And after many deeds of valor and daring, the Grads freed themselves. Then supposing their victims were like themselves, never ventured to take only an annual, these ambitious youths brought from its secret hiding place their old stand-by and kindly presented the Grads with a beautiful supply of Hoyt ' s Best. And when at last the Grads did arrive at the Annex, they might have been breathless, but they were not scentless. But after all, these grand personages arrived at Mood Hall where the evening was spent in pleasantries interspersed with toasts (there was only one kind served: toast a Voir chaud.) And when home sweet home was played and they had danced their last dance, they fain would return to the Annex, whenlo, the gates were wired. And the night showeth their handiwork, some one said. But after circumventing a season, this Grand Promenade halted at the habitat of the Fraeuleins. And they all averred They had found the word That made their hearts to beat. 373 374 Oh! would that I COULD 1 TTE7? THE THOUGHTS THAT A.RISE IN ME. 375 SPECIMEN EXAMINATION QUESTIONS The final exams were all disappointingly easy. These are not fair specimens, but, as they were picked at random, they will show what a snap passes are here. Peof. Mooke: 1. Give a full account of events, mentioning- dates, from the Battle of Senlac to the Jubilee of Queen Victoria. 2.
