It is a story of sunny days and clouds, a story illuminated by splendid and unimpeded progress and checkered with dark periods which saw stagnation and retrogression, a story which commands respect, admiration and love for the institution and prophe- sies for it a glorious future. • In 1840 the Congress of the Republic approved the charter which founded the first college in Texas at Ruterville. Ruterville College, named for a mis- sionary to Texas — Dr. Martin Ruter, who had tried during the brief time be- tween his arrival in Texas and his death to establish a university — was the first of four institutions which, in 1873, were united to establish a central uni- versity of Texas Methodism. ■ THE ANNEX • Wesleyctn College, located in San Augustine, was the second educational venture of Texas Methodism. Its charter, of far more liberal provisions than those of the Ruterville charter, was granted January 16, 1844. • John W. P. McKenzie, whose health had failed from excessive ministerial toil, settled in Red River County, Texas, and opened a private school. From this modest beginning the school grew until at the time it was chartered as McKenzie Institute in 1854, it had an enrollment of over three hundred students. The school was not formally under the control of the church until 1859 when President McKenzie gave the property into the control of the conference. DR. MARTIN RUTHER DR. FRANCIS MOOD DR. CLAUDE CARR CODY • Soule University was opened at Chappell Hill on February 1, 1856, and by the twenty-second of the same month secured its charter. In 1868 Dr. Francis Asbury Mood was offered the presidency of Soule University which was, even then, doomed to short life by depression and rapidly spreading yellow fever epidemics. MARCHING TO CHURCH • Dr. Mood presented in 1869 a carefully prepared plan for a central university supported jointly by all the Texas Conferences. On February 1, 1870, the Board of Trustees of the proposed Texas University to be located at Georgetown, Texas, held its first meeting. With an enrollment of one hundred stu- dents Texas University opened in 1873. In 1875 this school was chartered as Southwestern Univer- sity, and in 1876 four students were graduated from the institution. • Amid much agitation, women were admitted to the University in 1878. They were not allowed to attend balls or dancing parties, skate, go home for Christ- mas holidays or take part in any event of dramatic ' nature. Every Sunday morning the girls were marched in a double file to church. Chaperones walked before them, behind them and to the side of them to see that no girl smiled, waved, or dropped a note to a boy. As an April Fool ' s joke in 1880 forty-four students, by a written agreement, refused to attend class. The entire group was dropped from the roll of the University and allowed to re-enter only after they had individually begged ,ih§J2aidon of the entire faculty. © The girls caused no little trouble. One night they lowered a huge basket from the second floor by means of sheets tied together. Every few minutes they pulled to see if the basket was heavy for they were expecting some boys to come for a party. Dr. Allen, who always carried a cane with which he punished any boy who dared cross the fence which surrounded the Annex, saw the basket and got in it. The girls unknowingly pulled him up. When they were ready to pull him over the window sill they saw who it was and let him fall. Either Dr. Allen didn ' t recognize the girls or the fall jarred his memory so badly that he forgot who they were for he never found the guilty party. • Until 1886 the women and men students were kept strictly separated. In that year, to solve the problem of class room space, the curators recommended that when thought necessary, the faculty may bring advanced and discreet women pupils to recite with the University classes. o In 1887 the faculty repealed the rule forbidding secret societies and recognized the three original fraternities. o With the beginning of the new century the voice of the student body was heard. In answer to a pe- tition from the student body asking for permission to participate in intercollegiate athletics the curators decided to allow intercollegiate athletics with the exception of football. KSSKffliMlijfr RUTERVILLE COLLEGE • During the administration of President Hyer admis- sion requirements in Greek and Latin were raised; this being a final step in the consummation of the policy to make the admission requirements of South- western University fully measure up to those of the best American colleges. A PICNIC ON THE SAN GABRIEL • On June 2, 1906, the corner stone was laid for a new boy ' s dormitory. The faculty decided unani- mously that no better name could be found than that of the founder of the University so the dormitory was named Mood Hall. ■• Money subscribed in Georgetown was applied to the construction of the Williamson County Science Building, the corner stone of which was laid during commencement exercises in 1916. • In this period Southwestern University lost two of its oldest faculty members. Upon his retirement in 1914 Professor Fletcher Young, who had been teach- ing since 1881, was made professor-emeritus. In 1915 The Grand Old Man of Southwestern — Dr. Claude Carr Cody, who rendered more than thirty- six years of service — resigned on account of his failing health. DEBATE CLUBS • Caught in the general hysteria at the entering of the World War, many students rushed into the army. Of these Southwestern Students who left college, fifteen gave their lives to their country. • On a night in 1924 the wood and stone structure of the Women ' s Annex burned, fortunately without injury to any person. The girls, supposing the alarm to be only a fire drill, marched out into the night. The only item of value to be brought from the burning building was Miss Kuykendall ' s china, which was completely demolished by a trunk thrown from an upper floor. Work on the new Women ' s Building was completed in 1926. ATHLETICS • After half a century of struggle to force all the University owned books into two rooms on the third floor of the Administration Building ample space was secured in the form of the new Cody Memorial Library. • Early in the centennial year ground was broken for the West Gymnasium. • After several years of hard work on the part of our president, Dr. J. W. Bergm, the future of the Uni- versity looks today brighter than ever before. May the next century in the story of Southwestern University be as majes- tic as that of the past. . :  BATHING BEAUTIES emorie A glorious year at Southwestern . . . Classes . . .

These and many other precious memories will become an integral part of any student priv- ileged to obtain his college education on the campus of the Black and Gold. But, as the drip of water will wear away the hardest rock, time will blur the most vivid memories. If, after many years, a glance at the pages of this yearbook will bring back memories, long since forgotten, then we feel that the ultimate purpose of a yearbook has been accomplished. The 1940 Sou ' Wester, we hope, will be a mem- ory book of experiences to be treasured . . . t 1940 minteirauon ti IN MEMDRIAM CHARLES MESSEHVIE EDENS Farewell a word that must be, and has been — A sound which makes us linger; — yet farewell. ' j : IRf MEMDHIAM MARY ELIZABETH CARAWAY In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures life may perfect be. So sweetly she bade me adieu I thought that she bade me return. Dedicated to DR. JOHN C. BDDBEY Whose work in the department of physical science has attracted nation- wide attention to Southwestern University. His forceful, dynamic personality portrays the depth of his character, and the important part he plays in the policies of the college. An amazing amount of frankness and honesty characterizes his relation with all his students. Many a student owes his college success to the sound guidance of this truly great person. JOHN WIILIAM BEHGI1V Ph.B,D.D. President of Southwestern University This year Southwestern University has begun the Centennial Celebration, the first event of which brought to our campus April 13th and 14th outstanding educators, churchmen and other distinguished speakers from over America and our Trustees and hundreds of our ex-students and friends. This has been one of the most successful years in the one hundred. No other one year has seen the construction of two major buildings, but in 1939-40 the beautiful Cody Memorial Library was com- pleted and our students are enjoy ing the pleasures and advantages of the beautiful building. In the winter the contract was let for the West Gymnasium. This also is being constructed of limestone. Gym- nasiums are not essentially beautiful, but this building will be a work of art, and the stone out of which it is constructed will give it the essential stamina for a physical education plant. It will be nearing completion by Commencement and ready for our splendid group of students in the Fall Semester. Southwestern University exists for her students, and these buildings are yours through the years. Southwestern has the most homogeneous, happy, loyal and enthusiastic group of young people we have ever known. We salute you as Centennial students and promise our undergraduates returning in the Fall with others whom you will bring with you a splendid Centennial opening and a program for Southwestern ' s 101st year. Wishing all you graduates bon voyage in your careers and you undergraduates a jolly vacation rappy return in September, I am Lovingly, your President, JOHN WILLIAM BERGIN OSCAR ALVIN ULLRICH, B. A., M. A., Ph. D. Dean of the Faculty Greetings to All Students. That you love truth, enjoy beauty, worship the LORD, and be a friend to man, is the wish of your Dean, OSCAR A. ULLRICH. RUTH MORGAN FERGUSON, B. A., M. A. Dean of Women Students of 1939 and 1940. My sincere hope for you is that during your years at Southwestern you have acquired enough learning to broaden your vision, enough wisdom to give you self- control, enough friendship to make you sympathetic and kind, enough pleasure for true delight, enough culture to teach you reverence for all things holy. The possession of these great human values will enable you to find your place in life and do your work with joy and abiding success. May the best of life always be yours. Your friend, RUTH FERGUSON. ISAAC JOEL McCOOK Business Manager We pay tribute to him who has given Southwestern a contribution of executive service and personal influence which none other could have given. HENRY EDWIN MEYER, B. A.. B. M., B. S. Dean of School of Music Students at Southwestern University share everyday ex- periences of beauty which are not given to all men. May we learn before our college days are past that to do well in life we must learn to truly appreciate beauty in its various aspects. So we shall know that to enjoy sound, color, form, manners and moral recititude are all one in the art of living. It may be hoped that one day we shall reap from the habit of esthetic appreciation a fitness for life that is higher than that which we now know and place in the universe that is even fairer than the campus of old South- western in the spring. HENRY MEYER. MARGARET MOOD McKINNON. B. A. Librarian Aloha Students 1939-1940: For many years, I have been giving a warm welcome to Southwestern University students, and for as many years, I have been bidding them good-bye . The first was always a joyful event; the last, a much more serious occasion. But this June I will say Aloha from my beautiful new office in the new Cody Memorial Library. One would sup- pose that after so many years of saying Aloha , it would become a habit, just one of those routine duties to be per- formed in a casual manner. But this is not true. I will never get accustomed to saying Aloha . Always at the close of the school year, I am in the depths, a Slough of Despond, much deeper than Christian ' s. So once again I must say Aloha and gradually adjust my- self to your absence. MARGARET MOOD McKINNON. PEARL ALMA NEAS Registrar To my Friends, the Students of 1939-1940: One, two, three, four, — sometimes I wish there ' were more was chanted quite wisely in days agone. At the close of the school year, we have fond memories of happy days spent together. It has ever been our desire to join our energies to yours in an effort to find the enduring satisfac- tions of life. Your years of work and association on the campus can not have failed to make you appreciate that the story of South- western is one of the triumph of ideals. You may never reach your ideal; it may keep floating on and on before you. Real education discovers latent and hidden talents and capacities of the mind, reaches into the innermost depths of the soul, enlarging the heart, arousing ambitions, elevating ideals, and leading into the bigger paths of use- fulness and service. May you ever keep in mind that humility is the only door by which wisdom and greatness and peace can enter. I trust that you will go forward with steady stride and vision, making every stumbling block a stepping stone; that opportunity may overtake you fre- quently in the future, and find you always ready in cheer- ful good nature, moral earnestness, spiritual grace, and resolute will.

Stricken by the death of Lefty Edens and handi- capped by having to learn a new type of football in a score of days, the Corsairs, nevertheless, s 1 a u g h t ered A the Abilene Christian Wild- ■ cats in their own back yard ' - • 26-7 — a feat which no other MILTON PERRY Team Manager 1 5 ' % J i team in this conference was able to accom- plish. In the opening game of the season Med Medley carried his Bucs to Waco for their money tilt with Morley Jennings ' Baylor Bears. With Jack Wilson and Jimmy Witt BILLY SMITH YELL LEADERS FREDDIE ROBERSON GEORGE FOSTER operating behind a heavy Bear line the score went 33-0 in favor of the Southwest Conference team. Dutch O ' Neil raced 50 yards after taking a twenty - yard pass from Tossin ' Ted Fehr for the Pirates ' major offensive threat. Fehr outpassed the Baylor chunkers, but the final spark was missing from the Pirate eleven.

In this sad tussle the Pirates seemed jittery and again lacked the final push. An unex- pected 35 - yard pass into the arms of Bobby Jens proved enough for a touch- down and victory for the Austin team.

A determined crew of Bucs outgained and pushed inside the Bobcat ten-yard stripe on three occa- sions only to see the ball go over on fum- bles and downs. Big Charlie Ingram and Lewis Doan smothered Halfback Lomax in the final guarter for the Pirates ' counter. Days later a new kind of team forged into Abilene and showed 8000 West Texans the real razzle dazzle football.

Minutes before the half Bob Wright pitched a pass to Clem Crowley, who raced 50 yards for a marker. Early in the third period Cy Rodgers clamped to one of Fehr ' s tosses for another score. Bob Wright threw a pass to Slick Elrod, who lateraled to C. L. Lee, for the third counter. With five minutes to go in the final period, Bob (Beartracks) Knight intercepted a M ■■■■■:■• C. L.

The Pirates succumbed 13-7. LUTHER CHRISTMAN 1 letter, guard The following week Coach Medley received some satisfaction as the Pirates defeated his former footballers — the McMurry Indians — on soggy, rain- soaked Snyder, 12-0. Dutch O ' Neil engineered a muddy 92-yard drive for a marker in the initial guarter for a touchdown, and Guy Brant- ley added another with 035- yard run during the last pe- riod. On to Brownwood and the Bucs duplicated their Mc- Murry victory at the ex- pense of the Daniel Baker Hillbillies, only team to de- feat the co-champion Cru- saders. In this tussle Knight probably played the best game of his career by mak- ing a touchdown and rip- ping a Billie forward wall to bits. The Pirates closed the sea- son hereby bowing to the Howard Payne Yellowjac- kets in a thrilling 6-0 game.

With The Intramurals By DERRILL LEE CATES SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY is glad to present its intramural program started by Director of Physical Education, Rhea Wil- liams,, in the fall of 1938. In this two-year period the for- mer Southern Methodist university athlete has undoubtedly stamped a program here that any school would be proud to possess. Competition in this show is among the organizations through- out the campus. The barbs are di- vided into two groups which makes competition keener and more interesting. A Barb A team, a Barb B team, and a team from each of the three fraternities — Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and Kappa Sigma, go to make up the five organizations listed in league competition. The setup calls for the four ma- jor sports: football, basketball, baseball, and track with other minor sports being reeled off when the majors are not in full swing. Points are passed out for first, second, and third place winners in each sport and the team at the end of the school year with the most markers is awarded a beau- tiful bronze plaque for its achieve- ment. Last year the Barbs won the plaque by eking out the Kappa Alpha fraternity in a thrilling finish by winning the last major sport — track. By winning every major sport and their share of the minor ones thus far the Barb A team has virtually clinched honors for 1940, even should they fail to click in the remaining sports. Intramural standing without baseball, track, and tennis record- ed stand in the following order: Team Barb A Barb B K. A.

We ' ve heard plans discussed . . . we ' ve seen much progress. Vet the average Texan probably would be surprised to learn that an in- vestment of over seven hundred millio i dollars already has been made toward building a new kind of Texas! Thuc with this seven hundred million dollar in- vestment, Texas business leaders have the key to open Texas ' new industrial era. Lone Star Gas Company was one of the first natural as companies organized in Texas. It has pioneered in the development of Texas gas reserves, in methods oi transmission and distribution. Today, Lone Star to a new kind of Texas as Service is considered one of the finest in the world. Potent in building and maintaining this high standard of service is the factor of capital investment which Lone Star Gas System has made. It amounts to well over $-10,000.00 for each employee. Natural gas companies operating in Texas have invested in plants, gas reserves and equipment about $725,000,000.00 in making available a dependable sup- ply of natural gas to homes, business houses and in- dustrial plants. Already over 6,000 Texas industrial plants are using this clean, low-cost fuei service for heat and power. When one stops to consider the in- estimable benefits this huge investment has brought already to land owners, homes, business and industry some idea of its significance in today ' s efforts to build a greater industrial Texas can be seen.
