He is by vocation a business man, and in the great Northwest his name is synonymous with stability and business integrity. But through his zeal for the cause of the church and its educational institutions, he has become widely and favorably known far beyond the boundaries of the financial interests with which he has been allied. Consul Steenslancl is one of the patriarchs among the Norwegians in America, not only by virtue of age and conspicuous participation in the work of pioneer days, but also by virtue of character and achievement. He has at- tained distinguished success in his vocation, and in this respect has reflected honor upon his countrymeng but he has done greater honor to both himself and his countrymen by the interest he has manifested in their religious and educa- tional welfare. His business success has made it possible for him to make this interest effective and far-reaching, and his long and varied experience has made him a wise counsellor, conservative advocate, and a discriminating dispenser of gifts. 4 A characteristic figure in the Norwegian folk-lore stories is Aslfeladden, the man whom heaven helps, because he can help himself. At first his home is a hut, his throne the hearthstone, but when the opportune moment comes, he starts out into the world, gives heed to the little and seemingly unimportant things that his older brothers have overlooked, and ends by making Dame For- tune smile on him,-wins the princess and half the kingdomf' Norway has sent a number of Uashiepattlesu to America in search of adventure, and Halle Steensland is one of them, as the following will show: Born of peasant parents near the city of Stavanger on June 4, l832, he began at the age of twelve to shift for himself. He did not relish life in the country, and soon found employment with a Stavanger merchant. Here he heard of the great republic across the sea, and in 1854 he set out for it. His 6 destination was Chicago, where he worked for some weeks, but left for Wis- consin duringthe same autumn, and in the spring of IS55 located in Madison. Here he found work as a clerk in a store, where he soon became a partner, and later sole owner. He remained in the mercantile business until 1871, when with a number of prominent countrymen he organized the I-lekla F ire Insurance Co. This company he served faithfully and successfully in various capacities until STEENSLAND LIBRARY, ST. OLAF COLLEGE. l890, when he established The Savings Loan and Trust Co. of Madison, of which he has, from the beginning, been president and treasurer. This institution is the oldest trust company in Wisconsin, and enjoys a reputation for stability in keeping with its seniority. In l872 Mr. Steensland was made vice-consul in Wisconsin for Sweden and Norway, and continued in that capacity until the political separation of the two countries in l905, since which time he has served as vice-consul for Sweden, the vice consulate for Norway having been removed to Milwaukee. Distinguished honors have come to Consul Steensland in the course of time. Some years ago Oscar II bestowed upon him the Order of Vasa, and in l906 the Order of St. Olaf was conferred upon him by l-laakon VII. These honors are marks of recognition for services in promoting the welfare of Nor- wegians in America. Consul Steensland has exhibited a spirit of service, not . 7 A MADISON BRIDGE only in taking conspicuous part in the activites that call for the support of the average citizen in his capacity as a member of civic and religious organizations, the carefully garnered harvest of a life of conscientious toil has enabled him to render services of a most substantial nature. Tangible proof of this is the beau- tiful library building of St. Olaf College, erected in l902 at a cost of over Sl3,000. There it stands on Manitou Heights, a god-send to the institution, inviting all who come there in search of knowledge to enjoy its comforts and convenience. It is a worthy monument to a valiant champion in the cause of religion and education among the Norwegians in America. Consul Steensland has built another monument. ln l905 he had been a citizen of Madison for fifty years, and in commemoration of that fact he pre- sented to the municipality a most stately and beautiful stone bridge, costing Sl0,000. It spans the Yahara River on one of the principal thoroughfares to the city. This useful and ornamental structure gives fine expression to the donor's public spirit and to his devotion to the city where his labors have been so richly requited. It is interesting to note that in erecting a bridge as a monument to himself, Consul Steensland followed an old Scandinavian custom, for among the Scan- dinavians in ancient times, when roads and bridges were scarce, it was consid- ered a deed pleasing in the sight of God to break a road or build a bridge. An 8 . old runic inscription reads: 'flarlebanke erected these stones for himself while yet alive, and built this bridge for his soul. Consul Steensland's benefactions in other and minor ways have been numerous. A worthy cause among his fellow citizens, and especially one to promote the religious, educational, and philanthropic activities among his couna trymen, has never failed substantial assistance from him. Consul Steensland, like many another man of significance, has doubtless owed much to the influence of a noble woman. During fifty years of his life there stood at his side a true and faithful wife, a self-sacrificing and affectionate mother, a kind and sympathetic friend to those in sorrow and distress. She was a humble Christian and a ministering angel in more households than her own. On February l0, l907, Mr. and Mrs. Steensland modestly celebrated their golden wedding. The many friends who came to the beautiful home to pay their respects could not but think that she had many years of life before her. But it was not so to be. A few short weeks afterwards, in the month of March, she laid down the burden of life. We are certain that TI-IE VIKING reflects the sentiments of thousands of Consul Steensland's countrymen when it offers him congratulations on a life of worthy achievement, and wishes him many years yet of health and happiness. -JULIUS E..

It is apparent that there is some funny feeling connected with being a Senior. When you first came to college no one ever rushed up to you with a glad-to-see-you grin and a shake, anxiously inquiring as to how it felt to be a Freshman-not on your life! You were not supposed to feel as yetg in fact, everyone knew just how you felt,- the verdancy was expected to stand out in bumps all over you. But after you have gone through the mill for three years and are three-quarters done, or, as the case may be, a trifle overdone fclassically speakingl, you return for your last year, you are a poor specimen of a Senior indeed if your friends do not pop the well-how-does-it-feel-to-beaa-Senior question to you. And if your faculty of perception has been trained as it ought you will notice that the ques- tion is always accompanied by a suspicious glance at your hat, with the ques- tioner's attention centered not so much on its style as on its size. There you have the root of all this display. Along with the Senior title there is supposed to go a peculiar feeling of greatness and of superiority over the unfortunate underclassman, the intensity of which feeling varies directly with the composition of the subject afflicted. This affliction, peculiar to Senior classes, has grown to be the rule rather than the exception. Some classes pos- sess it to a greater degree than others. Now whether the class '08 has ever been troubled in this particular, it is not for us to say-we hardly have the proper perspective to judge-correctly, but for ourselves we merely mention in passing that, if ever there was a Senior class noted for great modesty, the cl - - but wc are wandering away from the subject. This was supposed to be a his- tory, a history with a capital H. History fwith a fitting gesture on the penultl, according to an old text which we perused as Freshman under Doc's tutelage, is all that we know about everything that man has ever done, or thought, or hoped, or felt. 16 This definition is just the one we were looking for. We were not born a historian, and, when the task was assigned to us, we deplored the lack of ready material-for the class of '08 as a law-abiding class has never partaken in any escapades that would have made good historical reading. Still the class may have thought, or hoped, or at least feltn something in that direction and if that's history why we are safe and here goes for some. F or example, the class might have thought once upon a time that it would be making history and that it would at the same time be great sport to borrow the President's horse, without letting him know about it, and then blanket away the president of some other class, as, in joyful anticipation of the feed which was in store for himself and his classmates, he wended his way to the home of his honorary members. We say that such a thought may have been harbored, but the thought was not father to the deed and it was never done-not by the class of ,OS Again the present sedate Seniors might have felt, while they were still frisky Freshman, that of all days the Sixth, when visitors were plentiful, would be the fitting occasion for a grand-stand play which would let the outside world know that there really was a Freshman class in existence at St. Olaf. But we never allowed our feelings to carry us away and as a natural result there was no defiant '08 rag on the flag pole, no broken windows, no class-scraps, and no after-chapel lecture the following day when we were Freshies. But then these are not the things which make-a class great-there's con- solation in that. Greatness, as we look at it, consists in doing something. With that sense of the word in mind it is not for us to say that we have done anything that can be considered of historical importance, but we can at least carry with us the satisfaction which comes from feeling that we have done our duty as a class. Eile mit Weile has been our motto. l-lasten slowly and save the fire-works for the battles that come when school days are but memories of the past. If therecord books of the professors could in any manner be got at and investigated and statistics collected, we are so bold as to believe that they fthe statisticsj would show that as students we were neither exceptional nor verging on the other extreme. ln student organizations and student enterprises we have helped to bear our full share of the burdens. In oratorical contests and inter- collegiate debates, on athletic teams and elsewhere, we have had the privilege of being represented. 17 If any year stands out prominently in the annals of the class we think it would be the Junior year. .That year saw the new chapel ready for occupancy, and we partook in the general migration into the new quarters. ln that year we published our VIKING, and we must have done it well, for the general edict Forbidding-the-Further-Publishing-of-a-VIKING-Annually was issued shortly after it was launched. ln that year also we lost our honorary members who for three years, as parents true, had borne with us our triumphs and our defeats, our joys and our sorrows, but were then compelled to leave us, and we as or- phans had to pilot our way through the tempestuous seas of the Senior year. And just to top off the Junior year right we gave the Seniors '07 a reception, which though in itself not very fastidious or high-falutin', must still be classed fby all those who had the misfortune to be biddenj as one of the neverfto-be- forgotten affairs. As for the Senior year-it has but begun, its history is yet to be made: For us it already records two noteworthy events. We had the privilege of par- taking in the introduction at St. Olaf of Ujimmanasticksn as an art. This may not seem to be a big event in itself, but the pictures we carry with us of such athletes as Rorem clad in a gym-suit and doing a turning pole stunt according to Rousseau, or Bjorgum in the act of unhorsing the horse can never be blotted out of the memory. Again, the year '08 will ever be an auspicious one in St. 0laf's history as it marks the time when the enrollment first reached the coveted five hundred mark. No small event this in the story of St. 0laf's growth!-and it took place in one day. The few things here mentioned, together with a multitude of happy rem- iniscences from college days, will go to make up the cluster of forget-me-nots which the Seniors '08 will take with them as mementos of the College on the Hill.

M W HONORARY MEMBERS 21 History of the Class of '09 ln a history of St. Olaf College we would find the records of many classes. Not least conspicuous among them would be those of the class of '09. It needs no poet's pen to add to its glory, for deeds are mightier than words. This class will be the twentieth to graduate from St. Olaf, but that means in time, not in ability. It was in the fall of '05 that we came to Manitou Heights and began to climb fboth literally and figurativelyl the l-lill of Difficulty toward the Temple of Learning. Among us were many high school graduates and our feelings at first can be aptly expressed in these words of Holmes: There are no times like the old times,- if They shall never be forgot! Tlzere is no place like the olcl place,- Keep green the dear olcl spot! There are no friends like our olrl friends, May Heaven prolong their livesf' We were taking the step which every college student from a high school must take-that from a high school Senior to a college Freshman. Little won- der the high school days seemed now so pleasant! The academy graduates, however, soon awakened us to the fact that we were again members of a class -a college class. Meetings were often called and important matters discussed. Une especially deserves mention. We soon reconciled ourselves to the fact that we were Freshmen and furthermore wanted others to know who we were. l-low should we do it? We did not look the part. We decided to get class caps. Many and weighty were the deliberations that followed, for we wanted something new and we got it-a blue cap with a four inch visor and the num- bers '09 in silver and flame, our class colors. It may still be seen among the busy crowd on Manitou I-leights. When school days are past it shall be care- fully preserved among our souvenirs of college days. We had not long to wait before our social times began. Already in the 22 fall term our honorary members invited us to spend the evening. Undisturbed by any waylaying upper classmen we reached our destination and enjoyed our first class party-an event still fresh in our minds and which will be remem- bered long after its write-ups in our diaries are faded with age. During the winter term college spirit superseded all class spirit. We saw the Seniors take first and second places in the Ware Oratorical Contest and realized what op- portunities there were for some of our number. ln the spring our class doings were neither few nor far between. On the evening of May 29 We wended our way to the home of one of our class-mates, about eight blocks from the college, The Weather looked rather threatening but that could not keep a naughty-niner in his room when invited to a party. After a while the rain poured, but what cared we for wind or weather so long as we Freshies were together. Nor did we look with fears toward the morrow, although the prospects for our picnic were not bright, and all worry was unnecessary. The next morning dawned bright and fresh. It was an ideal day for a picnic. The beautiful banks of l-leath Creek, where it flows into the Cannon, was the scene of our gaieties. On the opposite bank of the Cannon were the Sophomores, also picnicking. The event of the day took place in the afternoon-an inter-class ball game on the opposite bank of the Cannon. lt's always an advantage to play on home- grounds, but the Freshmen won now as in all the games they played that year. The saying goes that all good things come by' threes and it held good in regard to us. On the fourth of June while the other students were making their way to the dining hall of the dormitory we were making our way to the home of an- other of our class-mates. The fear was expressed that we wouldqbe spoiled, but that fear has proved groundless. We did not spend all our time for pleas- ure. At the end of the school year all exams had been safely passed and we dispersed never to meet again-as Freshmen. As Sophomores we were delighted and anxious to get back. We were sorry to lose some of our class-mates, but were glad to be recruited by new members. Daily themes, fortnightly essays, the deeds of the world's great men together with Calculus and Greek furnished work for many an hour and kept us busy. We had matured considerably since we were Freshmen and naturally began to lay plans for the future. By the third of December we had our VIKING staff elected. A critical moment soon came. The faculty passed the edict that hereafter TI-IE VIKING should be a college book and should not 23 be published every year. Would this frustrate our plans? No, it was to go into effect in nineteen hundred nine. Cur VIKING will be the last class annual. But our Sophomore year was not limited to work alone. With the snow came a sleighing party. When there's hope of having but one a year a sleigh ride causes quite a sensation. We were dismissed early from one of our classes that day-not to get ready for the ride, however. Even the naughty-niner will sometimes forget the etiquette of the class room. At five o'clock only one of the sleighs was ready. In less time than it takes to tell, it was filled with gay Sophomores and others fortunate enough to be invited. The rest followed after a patient wait of half an hour. A swift drive-an oyster supper-seven o'clock and study hours. Spring brought us another class picnic. The Cannon again lent its shaded banks to Sophomores. Boating and picnic-lunching drove away all cares. No one ever thought of the fact that exams were close at hand. It may be added here that the naughty-niner has no fear of them anyway. Thorough daily preparation is a powerful antidote to exam-fright. Qur juniority has also been safely reached. Again a few of our number are missing, but again a few recruits. It may seem to readers unacquainted with our class that our aim has been chiefly to have a good time, but such has by no means been the case. We have always remembered why we came here and our work has always had first place in our minds. Among the officers of the different student organizations the class of '09 is well represented-in athletic, musical, and literary lines alike. Last spring the banner for the cham- pions of inter-class track work was awarded our classy our octet, organized during the Freshman year, has added greatly to many programs. Last year one of our number represented St. Olaf in the intercollegiate prohibition contest. Amidst the toil and fun of college life there has been rooted in us a deep feeling of love for our Alma Mater. As of high school days even more so of college days we will say- Tl1ere are no times like the old limes,- Tlzey shall never be forgot! There is no place like the old place,- Keep green the clear olcl spot! There are no friends like our old friends,- May Heaven prolong their lives. -THEODORA IDTSE. 24 THE JUNIGR We funiors, thirty-five are all in Some fat, some slim, some short, Tho varied we in stature be S0 S azz, me ta Weire all in spirit bliihe and free. A. O. ANDERSON, f'He who 1'z11z.s may read. ' Wheii Andy,' came hither last year and was elected track- team captain, the Hteaml' immediately assumed a tangible and vigorous existence. He brought with him a reputation for excellence in .track and basket ball worlc, both at the Sioux City High School and at Chicago University. This reputation he has maintained, for in both these lines of sport he is among the most prominent. In the sphere of music Alfred holds the responsible position of Glee Club director, In literary work he is likewise not to be found on the rear benches, having last year acquitted himself very creditably in the preliminary state oratorical contest. Besides all this Andy has a win- ning personality, is a faithful society worker, and, above all, possesses a goodly portion of that great quality, perseverance. I-IL JOHN ASLAKSON. One today is worth two lf0H'L07'1'0'ZU5.u Ponto is one of our youngest members, yet one of the most prominent. ln his literary society, the Alpha Beta Chi, he is a valuable man both for his debating ability and general interest. The VIKING certainly could not get a better man as associate advertising manager, and what would Aluminum be without him? Always busy and not afraid to use a little midnight oil in order to finish a piece of work, he is, however, by no means a grind His interest, whether in sports or class work, is keen and his integrity to be relied upon. All in all our Ponto is a good fellow, a true friend, and a loyal student. in IoNAT1Us BJORLEE. Tall in body and tall in miata. This tall and serious looking young man hails from the good old Hawkeye state. After having completed the North- wood High School he enrolled as a member of the ,OQ class at St. Olaf. Bjorlee is an all-around college man, but above all a thorough student. He is a Firm believer in the proverb that what is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. Ignatius is prominent in all student organizations. He has served as literary editor of The R4fe5.renger and is at present president of our class and editor-in-chief of THE VIKING. He is also a strong member of the track team. His ,willingness to be of help to others, his frankness and cheerfulness, have won for him a host of friends. ALFRED CHRISTOPHERSON. Wisely and slow,-they stmuble that run fast. Chris is perhaps the most punctual member of the clan. In his work he is as regular as a clock. He has no favorite study, but masters all alike. His electives are chosen with a view of getting a broad education, and he is one of the scien- tific students that chose to grapple with Greek. Classwork receives most of his attention, although he is much interested in the violin and the literary societies. Once your friend, he is considerate and true. He is extremely modest and possesses an exacting conscience. Not anticipating a political career, he is not apt to go stump-speaking, but will most likely devote his future years to teaching philosophical subjects. ' A LUcAs G. ENGELSTAD. 1 Hzgh aims form high characters, and great objects brmg out J great minds. Rome had her Fathers, the Iunior Class has hers. Among these Lucas holds a position of honor, having been an active participant in the class doings since 1901, at which time he left the services of the First National Bank of Slayton, Minn. His character is well represented by the Y. M. C. A. symbol, the triangle. The physical, or athletic, qualification is ful- nlled by his prominence both in the undertakings of the Ath- letic Union and in the class teams. That he meets the moral requirement is shown by his activity in the various religious organizations. The mental significance of the triangle is sub- stantiated most strongly by his ability as a prohibition orator in the capacity of which he has twice represented the school. Lucas deserves to be considered one of the all-around well- developed members of the Class of 709. R, , SIGFRED ENGH. No one knows what he can do until he tries. The class of ,OQ is exceedingly fortunate in having this youth as one of its members. Sig is a favorite among his classmates as he possesses a genial humor and unvarying cheer- fulness which are both pleasing and contagious. He is an ac- tive participant in all student enterprises, and an earnest and conscientious worker who meets with success in all his en- deavors. In class work his chief interest centers on biology. Music appeals to him in a marked degree as he is a cornet soloist in the band and also a star member of the Junior Octet. At present he is editor of the local department of our Mes- senger and is also a prohcient artist as his work in the VIKING testifies. He is an able young man with a bright future lying before him. CARL FARSETH. The man who is fond of books is a nzan of lofty thought, and of elevated opinions. Although of a modest and retiring disposition, Carl hy no means wants energy. Endowed with a great capacity for work, he has as a student won the esteem of all for his con- scientiousness and thoroughness. Although mainly interested in the classics, Greek and Latin holding no terrors for him, he has also a knack for the sciences. He is also of a keen lit- erary mind, original and freshg the mysteries and intricacies of Ibsen have always been peculiarly fascinating to him. He is an active member of two college societies, where he reveals himself to be a clear and logical thinker. Having neglected athletics heretofore, he has now begun playing tennis and in a way which shdws that he intends to make up for lost time. HARALD FARSETH. The eznbodiinent of perpetual motion. From the Madison Normal School to the 'Wittenberg High School, and from that institution to the academy at St. Olaf, marks the stepping stones by which Harald ascended into the ranks of the Class of 709. Across his beaming countenance is tatooed the word Haggressive, a striking characteristic of his attitude toward whatever he undertakes. Those who recall his short athletic career remember him as a fast one while he lastedg others have had occasion to know that he does honor to the name student, some think of him as a Knight of the Tray as associated with the dining-hallg while many connect him with his favorite expression, Going into oratory F In whatever light he is seen, cheerfulness and diligence pre- dominate. S. O. FLOM. 'fPVhat a mah can do is his greatest 0l'1ZUll'Z6'lLf.U ' HS. O. is not without embellishments. Three years was all the time he needed for mastering the High School work. Greek, Calculus, and Natural Philosophy have also been forced to give up their contents to his keen and logical mind. But this farmer's son is not found in the class room only. He is also an active member in the Alpha Kappa, Choral Union, and Luther League and is this year treasurer of the Athletic Union. A Wonderful capacity for hard work and a good taste for everything that is noble are his possessions. A. L. GAARDER. Nat-ure is 11'lCl1L,5 teacher. She unfolds her tr'easu1'c's to his search, uzzseals his eye, illumizzes his 7l'11.I1d, and purifics his heart. Gaarder, as above quotation indicates, is a lover of nature. His most joyous hours have been spent in the woods and among the bluffs of southern Wiscoiisiii. Skees and rifles are among his best friends and he holds the enviable record OI having four deer scalps to his credit. He is an all-around athlete, taking part not only in baseball, but also in track Work and tennis. These well rounded athletic abilities peculiarly adapt him for his position as athletic editor of the VIICING. He joined the Alpha Beta Chi literary society in his Fresh- man year and has proven himself strong in that line of work, Although a lover of literature he has devoted his entire time to the mastering of sciences, chemistry being especially attrac- tive to him. w 1 I OLAF GUNDERSON On their own merits modest 77lU1'L are du11zI7. Gundy hails from Porter, Minn. His chief characteris- tic is modesty. His ability as a hall player was discovered dur- ing his hrst year, when he was taken from the third team and placed in the ranks of the first. This position he has held with credit ever since. Some of the hardest struggles St. Olaf has seen in baseball have had Gundy in the box and by cool- headedness and skill many victories have been placed to his credit, and to the credit of St. Olaf. The fact that he has been captain of the baseball team for three years, has in no way affected his class work, to which his records bear Witness. He is an active member of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. Last but by no means least, must be mentioned his ability as a violinist. ' E. E. HANSON. Strong in will, earnest in ezzdeazzorf' Mr. Hanson possesses the enviable qualities of being witty and versatile. Witli his quick brain and ready information he is a veritable gatling gun to cope with in a discussion. His great ability and unbounded interest have brought him to the front in many of the student organizations. Our VIKING is very much indebted to him for conscientious work as adver- tising manager. His election as baseball manager is merely another proof of the students' confidence in him. In the band he is also a prominent member, manipulating the baritone-saxo- phone with great skill. Nor has he neglected his society work, being one of the charter members of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. EMU. M. HAUGE. 'Ulifiiclz wisdom ofteri goes with few words. Emil is our editor of the department on organizations at St. Olaf. He is of a quiet nature and somewhat reserved. But when once one becomes acquainted with him, he has no cause of regret for doing so. As a clarinetist Emil is there with the goods, being a prominent man in his section. During the baseball season he may be seen doing the slab work for his class, and many are the victims of this KHOQ southpawf' Al- though he has had many 'fpressing engagements, yet he has always had time to do full justice to his class work and besides to attend faithfully to the duties of the various organizations of which he is a member. HERSLEB ARUP HELSEBI. The sweetest hours that e'c1' I spend, are spent among the ' losses. Helsem is a well-known member of the Junior Class. Those who know him most intimately hnd him to be a hearty and entertaining friend. Helsem believes in a well-rounded education. Hence his attention is divided in different lines. The classic lore seems to have most charms for him, and Greek appears to have special attractions. He is a member of the band, in which organization he plays the trombone. Arup is also an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of athletics, and no intercollegiate game fails to see him at his place. He is a member of the Gamma Delta Literary Society. OLE Hovms. The secret of success is 'intense application. Hovde is one of our old academy stand-bys. His native country, Norway, being too small to hold him, he crossed the sea ond joined our ranks in the third class, and through deter- mination and earnest application he has Worked his Way up- ward until at present We find him a Junior. Modest and re- served, his acquaintance is not easily formed, but if he has once taken a liking to you he will stand by you. Hovde is an able and painstaking student. Languages are his favorite studies, and among these Greek has precedence. He is a debater of considerable ability and like Bismarck he is imbued with THEODORA IDTSE. She is a regular 'kawfwlecige box, Au oracle for great and small. Dora is a graduate of the Ada High School. She climbed Manitou Heights for the first time in the fall of 1905, and joined the ranks of the class of ,OQ who were glad to welcome her into their midst. She is a conscientious student and thor- oughly loves to work, and she eventually succeeds in every- thing she undertakes to do. She has an excellent literary taste and loves to read. Her amiable disposition, which is one of her strong points, wins for her many friends. She is an active member of the Phi Kappa Phi Literary Society. an iron will that is not easily thwarted. l M.. H. C. M. IAHREN. Nothing is so strong as gentlenessf' Here we have, perhaps, the most good-natured gentleman in the Junior class. Mr. Iahren, a graduate from the Con- cordia academy of Moorhead, Minn., came to St. Olaf in the fall of 1905 and joined the class of 1909. Although the classics occupy most of his time he takes considerable interest in the sciences. He is a thorough and conscientious student, and a staunch supporter of college enterprises. Though he is a Hrrn believer in the proverb, silence is golden, he has won many friends and the love and esteem of his whole class, in token of which he Was entrusted with the editing of our music de- partment. ' HENRY LANGUM. Good humor is one of the bert articles of dress one can 'wear in society. Henry is a graduate of our own academy. As a scientific student he is especially interested in biology. He has' even been' known to take his dissecting outfit with him to a class picnic and there with a congenial companion to dissect and study frogs and clams. As a vocalist he holds his own in the tenor section, both of the class octet and of the church choir. Hank is a hard worker and has often burned Lmidnight oil into the wee hours of the morning. His friends know him as a jolly good fellow and his camera perpetuates many pleasant recollections of days spent with him. NORMAN LARSEN. Boer a true man and a true friend. Norman is one of our old stand-bys from the academy. He is of a quiet, unassuming demeanor, but once your friend you will find him ever true and loyal, always ready to' sacri- hce himself to do you a service. By his thorough class work he has won the warm regard of students and teachers. He is an original thinker and you Will find he has an opinion of his own on matters of interest. Besides, he is much interested in athletics and is frequently seen on the diamond. Norman is a living refutation to the proverbial disposition attributed to 1l1ll1lSfC1'iS sons. so oi l l B I LOFTSGAARD. Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of a gentle-man. Loftie is another old timer, entering the academic de- partment in 'O2. His career as a student has been marked by diligent and painstaking work, he having given most of his time to the sciences. At the band concerts he sits in the shade of his little C?j trumpet and leads the bass section. Besides music many of his pencil sketches indicate his talent as an artist. His name alone calls forth in our minds his massive physique and self-possessed demeanor. His unpretentious solid self is a never changing quantity and for a model of powerful repose, B. I. is the man. SIVERT NESDAL. Genius and rich good-nature united. Norway claims the honor of being the birthplace of the scholar of the Junior class. He began his work with us in the academy and finished with a higher average standing than any other student has yet acquired. But Nesdal is not only a scholar, he is first of all a man, in the truest and best sense of the word. Of a sunny and cheerful disposition, ever look- ing at the bright side of things, he is always ready to do any- thing in his power to help and cheer the life of others. He has identified himself with all student activities, being an active society member, a very logical debater, and an able speaker. He is also a keen literary critic, himself having considerable creative ability. IDA NORDBY. PVould there were more like her. Ida is our artist and we are justly proud of her ability in that line. Not only in the VIKING has her artistic ability been proven, but also in many other instances. She is a dili- gent worker and can utilize time both to her own advantage and to that of others. For in her busy college life she gladly embraces every opportunity to do some little act of kindness which is like incense to many a 0116. Her quiet humor is e1I- joyed by all, and she is quick to note the humorous side of a situation, She owns The richest pearl, which in the .Chris- tian's crown of graces is humility. NELS T. O1TEIzsTAD. The reward of a thing well done is to have done itf' Here we have probably the most talented member along literary lines in our class. His vivid imagination, his great ability, and tlIe ease with which he is able to handle both the English and Norwegian languages are all shown by his num- erous contributions to our college paper and to the VIKING ,OQ. He is also strongly interested in oratory and is an active mem- ber of two of our literary societies. Nels is a native of Nor- way, but has been thoroughly Americanized. He graduated from our academy in 1906 and entered the college in the same year. He was president last year of the class of ,IO. He is a hard and conscientious worker and the fact that he will finish the college course in three years is ample proof of his ambi- tion and perseverance. JOHN RITLAND. H e most lives, Wlzo thinks most, feels noblest and acts best. Johnny is perhaps the busiest yet happiest member of the Junior class. Being self-supporting, he is occasionally forced to arrive late in the fall and leave early in the spring. But he manages his back-work and the regular course, easily. He also hnds time for considerable outside work being a member of the VIKING staff, the Gamma Delta Literary Soci- ety, the band, the Choral Uniong not to forget the stray mo- ments he devotes to business in the capacity of a general agent for the Keystone View Company. As further indications to his character and disposition the reader is referred to his beaming eyes and ready smile. IDA ROGNE. A w011zah's strength is most potent when robed in gentlenessf' A Our society editor has a scholarship from the North Side High School of Manitowoc and entered our class as a Fresh- man. She is a minister's daughter and her home is now in Forest City, Iowa. During her stay here she has been a loyal patron of the Ladies, Hall. She is a great worker and it would be unusual upon entering her rooms not to find a Latin or a Greek book in her hand. Ida is also one of our best basket ball players and it's too bad she has not the chance to win fame for St. Olaf in intercollegiate games. If you want a true friend cultivate her acquaintance. THORSTEIN ROVELSTAD. All good things are great. Rolley's home is a place where time is abundant, viz.: Elgin, Ill. The reputation of our illustrious class evidently did not reach him before last year at the Michigan U., for he did not come to join us before this fall. We immediately noted two things about him, first, that he must be a man with high ideals, second, that his locks had at some time during the summer been greatly abbreviated. It did not take a long ac- quaintance, however, to discover that his most striking quality was a fme gift of humor-that he was in an unusual degree what We call comical. Shorty's athletic interests have here- tofore been centered mostly on baseball, with second base as his specialty. As a student he is interested in science, since he expects to complete the civil engineering course, begun at the University. May his shadow never shorten. A. O. RUNNING. The busy have 110 time for tears. Almost everybody knows Running. But if you don't, look for a man with a high black cap and a great bunch of keys and you have him spotted Running is a product of our own academy. I-Ie is a great worker, a thorough student, and a good debater. To enter upon a discussion with him concern- ing the sciences and classics I would not advise as you may have to go away vanquished and with the impression that science is the best. Though he occasionally is seen in the company of ladies his walks with the co-eds are hardly as fre- frequent as his visits to the steam heating plant where every intricate piece of machinery has been obliged to surrender its mysteries to him. In the dormitory he is the man who op- eneth and shutteth and this he does with a promptness and etnciency that demands the night-walker's respect. KAIA I-IENRIETTA STEARNS. HT0 be 11ze1'1'y best becomes you. This member of the class is a graduate of our own acade- my. She does not devote all her time to study, but gives pleasure a due place. In school work biology and literature are her favorites. You will ind in her a loyal supporter of all student enterprises. She is almost invariably an enthusi- astic witness of the intercollegiate baseball games. I-Ier home is at Northheld and the naughty-niner can testify to her ef- ficiency as a hostess. On account of her genial and open ways she makes friends quickly. The qualities that we shall always remember are her good nature, .pleasant smile, and merry laugh. SEVERIN C. SWENSON. A light heart lives long. Q I-Iere we have Swenson, or Swansky, as we call him, one of the 'most optimistic of our class. His attendance at St. Olaf has been irregular, but he has finally decided to be a member of the class of ,O9. Though always ready for a good time and extremely fond of the fair sex, he is deeply inter- ested in his studies. I-Ie is strongest in the sciences, where his energy and acuteness stand him in good stead. Swenson is a member of the Alpha Beta Chi Literary Society. But per- haps the place Where he has become best known is the band where for several years he has played bass drum with much energy and skill. IOSEPH TETLIE. Iii thy face I .ree the map of horior, truth, and loyalty. Our miscellaneous editor hails from the Canton High School. At the mention of his name baseball invariably en- ters our mind. For two years he has been a member of our pitching staff and the excellent record which he established last season entitles him to a place among the best of college twirlers. Ever since Joe came to St. Olaf he has shown a great interest in music and that he is gifted in this line is testified to by the fact that he is a member of the band, saxo- phone quartet, and Junior octet. Tetlie is First and last a dili- gent student, but this has not prevented him from taking active part in all student enterprises. JOHN TIIOMPSON. Never leave that till toinorraw which you can do today. Tommy,' entered St. Olaf as a Freshman in the fall of 1906, after having completed his preparatory course in the High School at Earlville, Illinois. A diligent student and a coming athlete, the gypsie fortune-teller announced, as she scrutinized the lines in his baseball hand. Nor did she err. His diligence is fully corroborated by the fact that he is mak- ing the college course in three yearsg his athletic ability is also readily substantiated. By making short-stop on the hrst baseball team and substitute on the basket ball team in his first year, his chances of bringing honors to the school, the class and himself are bright. Witli such attributes the history of the class of ,OQ records Tommy as one of her sturdy members. I. I. THOMPSON. A little tact and wise rhariageiiieht may ofteri evade resistance and carry a point where direct force might be in vain. Here you behold a man of the world-in the good sense of the phrase-and of affairs. Did you ever see him miss his point? Wliile you smiled at his giving himself away he sound- ed you. Listen five minutes to him expounding a business proposition, and you will feel it a privilege to' make the pro- posed investment. In his preparation for life he has been as- sisted by Scandinavia Academy and, since 1904, by St. Olaf. Here his extraordinary versatility was soon recognized. His positions, held at various times, as cornet player, treasurer of the Athletic Union, leader of our class octet, president of the Choral Union, and business manager of our VIKING, these are a few of the abundant proofs of his versatility, ability, and re- liability. When considering his high scholarship and winning manners it requires but little prophetic gift to predict for him smooth sailing. HARRY R. TOSDAL. A broad, well-balanced miiidf' Tosdal is one of the youngest of our tribe. He entered last year as a Freshman, but being of an ambitious nature he soon decided to cast his lot with the class of ,OQ. As this shows he has a great capacity for work, but like all truly able men, never worries about it, 'Calm and serene he masters it all with equal skill. Being of a broad turn of mind he takes great interest in student enterprisesg he is a member of an orchestra, the band, and of the Alpha Beta Chi Literary So- ciety. In society work his clear, logical reasoning has demon- strated his ability. Frank and unaffected in his conduct, he has easily gained the friendship of us all. He is one of those rich, well-rounded characters that you will always remember with affection. , ENGEBRET T. TUFTE. There is no genius iii life like the genius of energy and activity. , Tuite cames from the prairies and comes reluctantly, yet Q leaves with a heavy sigh every June. His cheerful countenance and fun-loving disposition, together with his gentlemanly char- . l acteristics, have made for him many friends, Although an unusually keen and diligent student, his ever hovering visage in the laboratories assures us that he will die a martyr to sci- ence rather than learn the Greek alphabet. Aside from class work 'tBert has won his spurs in the Gamma Delta, both as an orator and debater. 'Wherever it becomes necesessary for the junior class to organize themselves in defense of their athletic reputation Tufte is right there with the goods you knowf' - Oris VVENTZEL. Method and dispatch govern the world. Mr. W'entzel is above all methodical. He is a n1erchant's son from Moorhead. Being graduated from the High School of that city, he attended Concordia College one year. He then entered our class as a Sophomore. Thorough class work has marked his stay with us. But Weiitzel is also an active society worker and a lover of musicg he is a valuable addition to our renowned octet. Otis is too retiring to be well knowng but once you know him you find that he is of sterling quality. l P I SOpl'lOITlOI'C Cla ss -- fyfp Morro: Labor and wait. COLORS: Purple and gold.

OLAF COLLEGE I-IAS OPENED ITS DOORS TO TI-IE DEAF AND DUMB. When St. Olaf College, in the year of our Lord l907, opened its doors to the deaf and dumb it did the right thing. The right thing is always a wise thing. And it is a wise thing for a school to follow out its purpose. St. Olaf College was founded, and is maintained, for the purpose of giv- ing the young people of the church what they need, what they have a right to get and what will bless them and make them a blessing. What young people need is an education that will fit them for the duties of life. The service of the Lord. Only a Christian education will do this. And such a training is to be had at any of our church schools. But many of our young people are deaf and dumb. They stand in need of an education even more than those who hear. This will enable them more easily to find employment and make a living. And what they need furthermore is a Christian education. For the deaf have not as yet the gospel preached unto them. By being admitted to St. Olaf College they will thus have an op- portunity of receiving what they especially need. Young people have a right to be thus educated. Even the deaf have this right. As children in the family, in the state, and in the church their rights be- fore Clod and man are the same as those of the hearing children. Our heavenly Father made them deaf, but he did not disinherit them. When the Lord said: 56 Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Godf' I-le did not exclude the deaf. And yet they have for centuries been forbidden to come to Him. But the children of the kingdom shall no longer be treated like the little dogs. St. Olaf College stands ready to receive them and to give them what is theirs-by right. He who confers a blessing is himself blest thereby. What a blessing it will be for our youthful deaf to feel a little something of the love of Christ! What an uplift to understand that they, too, have rights that others respect! What a joy to make friends among their hearing brothers and sisters! It will mean so much to them While youngg it will mean still more to them later in life. The deaf, however, will not be the only ones blest by such love, respect, and friendship. It will be an equal blessing to the hearing that they learn to look upon the unfortunate deaf as brothers and sisters, joint heirs with them to the riches of God the Father. Another advantage to the hearing from being educated together with the deaf will be the readiness they will acquire in the use of the manual alphabet. For it goes Without saying that the great majority of students at St. Olaf will learn this, and will thus be enabled to converse with the deaf. This will prove of especial value to those who shall enter the min- istry. For to do the full Work of the Master one must also be able to bring com- fort to the deaf. What the deaf need, what they have a right to, and what will make them blest and a blessing-this St. Olaf College is now ready to give them in obedi- ence to the will of I-lim who has said that He will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor. Students and friends, you can do no nobler work than to persuade unwill- ing parents to send their deaf sons and daughters to St. Olaf College for a con- tinued and more extended course of study than that offered at the state schools.

There,s never an always cloudless shy, There,s never a vale so fair, But over it sometimes shadows lie, In a chill and songless air. But never a cloud overhung the day And flung its shadows down, But on its heaven side gleamed some ray That found a sun lit crown.

Of all the wonders and mysteries known to science life is the greatest. Scalpel, microscope, and man,s intellect have revealed multi- tudes of life's secretsg we ourselves are living our lives just as generations before us lived theirs, still the question is, What is life? Theologians, scientists, phil- osophers,-all concede life's greatness in its mystery. Life is great in its numbers. Consider the multitude of living things to- day. The face of the earth, the rivers, lakes and seas, the grottoes of abysmal depths as well as the sunlit surface of the world-wide ocean are teeming and swarming with the races of life. No eye can see them all, no man computes their number, and yet the living are as a handful beside the innumerable multi- tudes which peopled the sunbeams of summers long ago, or those who found their sepulchre at the bottom of their native element the liquid sea. Life is great in its power over natural forces. The crystal owes its beauty and permanence to the highest force it manifests, chemical afhnity. The great- est and most interesting mysteries known to physics are force and matter, but life is greater than these. It marshals the forces of chemistry and physicsg it lays its magic hands upon the surrounding elements and builds them up into the most marvelous structures of beauty, adaptation, and coordination known to science. . Of all created living things the life of man is greatest. Enter the portals of his home. See how beautiful it is as it wheels in whirling flight through un- bounded space. lts seasons come and go. The rising sun from day to day reveals a panorama of wondrous beauty from the green spring to the waving fields of summer, the purple hues of autumn and the crystal fields of winter. The attendant moon and a million wandering stars with mellow light enchant the scene. The boundless plains, the deep introdden forests, the mountains with their hoary crags and cliffs, the rivers, lakes, and oceans, and the vaulted sky, each and all in turn assume their various features, while on the globe rolls with its precious freight, a changeful cycle of exquisite beauty and harmony. All this, as far as we can see, with special reference to the life of man. Consider man's body, the home of the soul. Consider the eye, the ear, the brain, or any of the inward parts. Which could be better placed? Which more wisely made? Truly the body of man is a living templef, more won- ' 61 derful than any temple ever built by human hands, more glorious, more prec- ious. Manis body is the paragon of animated forms. Lifeis greatness is shown by manis intellect. Consider the mind's powers, their almost infinite capabilities of development under the influence of a high and true ideal. The ability to perceive, compare, judge, reason, and remember, to read, unfold, and appreciate the plan of nature written on every star, grain of sand, or unfolding in the expanding flower, is it not a sign of greatness? l..ife's greatness is seen in its highest ideals. As the surface of the earth presents a great variety of soils and climates with varied forms of vegetation, so do the gardens of men's minds varyiin the ideals that flourish there. The aspirations, motives, ideals, and valuations placed on life's goal are exceedingly numerous. Wherein consists real greatness of life? What are the things worth living for? What constitutes success? Great is the number of sirens' voices that lure us with their song. Does life's real greatness consist in straining after the yellow metal and all the pleasures it can bring? Does it consist in fame, position, power or in the exaltation of self, petty striving to stand in the lime- light of popular opinion? F ie upon such small ambitions! l..ife's greatness is seen in the exaltation of life. An exalted life is a clean life. It is within the reach of everyone. The springs that quench its thirst are not the turbid fountains of pleasure, vice, and crime. lts pathway leads where sweeter flowers bloom and fairer waters flow than the haunts of vice can ever offer. Were human lives all clean, the brothel, grogshops, and prisons would soon pass out of existence. ' l..ife's greatness is seen in an unfailing faith. When the sky of life is over- cast with shadows, when the streams of life seem dark as the unfrozen brook on a winter's night, when every flower seems drooping, withered, or plucked from the human heart, then the life with an unwavering faith in the eternal verities endures as seeing l-lim who is invisiblef' Such a life is eminently great. Life is great in its consecration to service. The life that loves its fellow man's as its own, is it not great? The life that loses itself in the saving of a sunken race, is it not divine? Thus taught the Teacher long ago. Richer than any other crown, brighter than any other diadem that rests on human brow, is the laurel wreath of glory, the brow of the man who gives his life for his fellow. Such a life is humble, not vain, nor boastful. l..ife's greatness is seen in its hope of the future. When the clean and 62 faithful life that has been consecrated to the service of man, draws near its close, when the river is about to empty itself into the boundless sea, what a treasure it bears upon its bosom! Not all the wealth of western slopes, nor all the wealth of Alaskan strands nor all the wealth of a thousand worlds can equal in value the fruitage of a life well spent. The body may be bent with the weight of years, scarred by the battles of life, the locks be whitened by the snows of many winters, the frame tottering, the gait uncertain, the fountain of life drying up and its stream more slow, but the soul is fresh and clear, glad to hasten whither all men tend. As the bright and jeweled autumn day rolls by in gor- geous colors to the past, so a great life, with the breath of eternity on its face, prepares to take its final flight. As a worm creeps forth from its dark conceal- ment, putting forth its wings to Hy in sunny realms and sip the nectar of earth's sweetest Howers, so a great life puts on itself the wings of hope, faith, joy, and peace to soar in realms of eternal light and happiness. Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me, Map there be no moaning at the har When I put out to sea. But such a ticle as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam When that lvhich came from out of the boundless deep Turns again home. HTIvilight anal evening hell And after that the clark And may there he no sadness of farewell When I embark. For though from out our lvourne of time and space The flood may hear me far, I hope to see my Pilot, face to face, When I have crossed the bar. -EDW. WM.

'6He came this week and is the queerest specimen of humanity you can imagine. He is overgrown and awkward, swings his arms and plants his feet on the Hoor as if they were made of stpne. And the way he dresses! He wears big plough- shoes and trousers that are never pressed and are several inches too short. His coat looks as though it were made for some younger member of the family. And just think, he walks around with a celluloid collar and a hat that looks like an heirloomf' - Yes, but he might have some good trait about him, Henry insisted. Oh, he does nobody any harm and looks as though he might be honest and all that. But he is so simple-minded and believes anything you say. He'll be the laughing stock of the school. l am planning to play some practical joke on him. just then George Sheldon, the object of their conversation, passed on the way to his room. The description given by Qrton fitted him perfectly. His outward appearance was indeed ludicrous. But through the kind, keen, and gentle blue eyes shone the real character of the boy. To most of the students he was already an obj ect of ridicule and even con- tempt. Orton especially was ingenious in finding new tricks to play on him and epithets to call him, and this the boy knew. No wonder he sometimes felt dis- couraged and wished he were at home on the ranch. ' ln the afternoon Sheldon and a few others happened to be walking along a country road not far from the school. Suddenly there came around a bend 64 of the road in front a team and carriage in full gallop. It was soon evident that the team was beyond the control of the driver, that it was running away. The occupants of the carriage, two ladies, were too frightened to do anything but scream. The boys did not know what to do and expected to see the driver and the ladies thrown out at any moment. But just as the team dashed by Sheldon made a jump and caught one horse by the bridle, then grabbed the other and hung on desperately until the team, quivering and foaming, came to a standstill. One of the ladies offered Sheldon a gold coin, but he declined, and they drove away with feelings of gratitude and respect for the awkward but courageous boy. This incident won some friends for Sheldon among the boys, for now they understood better his character. An hour later when he came up to his room and entered, a pail of water came tumbling down over his head and shoulders. But that was not all. The few pictures he had were turned against the wall, the furniture was turned up- side down, and a composition on which he had put much work was torn to pieces and scattered on the Hoor. When he had shaken the water off his coat and was looking at the havoc, he noticed a dark object lying among the rubbish. On close examination it proved to be a pocket-book, and contained besides money, a card marked James Orton? Without hesitating Sheldon changed his coat and hastened to Orton's room with it. l-landing the pocketbook to Crton, he said simply, You must have dropped this in my room. F or a mo- ment Orton did not know what to do. Conflicting feelings surged through his brain. l-le could see by Sheldonis hair that his trick had succeeded. And now Sheldon had done him an act of kindness. Should he ask forgiveness? No, then he would lose his prestige among the boys. No, he must get the best of this fellow. So he simply said gruflly, Thank youf, and turned away. Shortly before supper he was talking in an undertone to a group of friends. I have hit upon a capital plan for a joke on this fellow, he was saying. To- morrow morning about five o'clock we shall go up to Sheldon's roomg I shall have a master key, if necessary. We shall roll him up in a mattress and send him rolling down the stairway. In a minute we shall be back to our rooms, and not a soul will know who played the jokef, It was shortly after midnight. Everyone in the dormitory was asleep. Sheldon was dreaming of a western prairie-fire. It was coming closer and closer and he was already overwhelmed by the smoke. Suddenly he awoke. 65 There was a distinct odor of smoke in the room. f'le jumped quickly into his clothes. and aroused the supervisor of the dormitory and some of the older stu- dents. The supervisor sent some to find the fire and others to wake the students and avert a panic. The fire was soon discovered, but had gained so rapidly that it could not be checked with the means at hand. Among the students there was confusion but no panic. Valises were thrown out the windows, then mat- tresses, then the boys followed. Laughable sights could also be seen. Une student walked around with a shoe and a slipper. Another was carrying with him his precious racquet. Still another was lugging around a large bass viol. No accident occurred in jumping, except when two boys, one rooming directly above the other, jumped at the same instant. The one from the lower room was picked up unconscious, but soon revived. A few minutes after the fire had been discovered, not one boy was left in the dormitory. One end of the building was sending up clouds of smoke and sheets of flame, a sight that could be seen for miles. Suddenly Orton remem- bered that he had left his pocketbook in his room. Should he go back and get it? The stairway leading to his own room was clear yet, and if he could not return by the way he came, he could jump out the window. The fire was in the other part of the building yet. l-le hurried in without being noticed, sped up to the room, and, after a brief search, found the valuable pocket-book. Turning to go back he saw the stairway was a mass of flame. He must escape through the window. But just as he was preparing to leap he was overcome by the smoke and fell backward unconscious to the Hoor. The crowd below had seen him appear at the window and fall back. He has a fit,,' someone cried. nl-le will burn to deathf, The firemen from the nearby city had not yet arrived, the fire escape was some distance from the win- dow, and there was no ladder long enough to reach the room. The fire was rapidly eating its way to the room. What should be done? There appeared to be no rescue for the unfortunate boy. Suddenly Sheldon appeared on the scene carrying a long rope. To one end of it he quickly tied a piece of iron found near by and threw that end of the rope toward a projection above Orton's room. The rope did not reach its mark. A second attempt was successful, the rope went over the projection and the weight carried the end back. Directing a boy to hold the rope steady he quickly climbed up hand over hand and jumped into the room. ln shorter time than it takes to tell, he had pulled up the rope, fastened it around the body of the prostrate boy, and lowered him down to safety. As the rescuer jumped from the window into a pile of mattresses below, a tremendous cheer went up from the students. 66 W W? ff' NF self' Not in the Curriculum 'sgff' GRAFTOLOGY. Among the recently discovered sciences, there is one which is of inesti- mable value to the modern student. The gradual development of this science can be readily traced. Prior to the fifteenth century the student was enslaved by the arbitrariness of pedagogues and grammar schools, but with the advent of the Renaissance and by the evolution of naturalistic, psychological, scien- tific, and sociological movements, the liberation of the student began. The Abraham Lincoln of this cause was Jean Jacques Rousseau, the originator of liberalistic education. From his doctrines have developed the present freedom from disciplinary professors and arbitrary curriculums. Yet, great as the prog- ress of liberty has been there still remains to be abolished a final shade of ar- bitrariness. This impediment to absolute freedom, to a student millennium, is to be overcome by the new science. Graftology, commonly called graft, is the one hope of the liberty-loving American student and for his benefit the laws of the science are promulgated. Crafting naturally divides itself into three divisions, the study of the profes- sor, the selection of class neighbors, and the perfection of one's own resources. Among the professors you will find the workable, the semi-workable, and the non-workable. The first is captivated by the laws of Hattery. Ask him questions that he may display his intelligence. Laugh violently and protract- edly at his witticisms. Occasionally prepare on a special question, after class discuss it with himg and, while he welcomes an additional opportunity of em- phasizing his wisdom, he will consider you a young Solomon. The second type is less workable. l-le insists upon everyone reciting. But as he appre- ciates endeavor, the law to remember is, Make a 'bluff' Silence is death! When called upon, discard any appearance of sheepishnessg face him boldly and, if unable to employ bushy tactics, ask some question. But if this law seems impracticable resort to honesty by admitting that you are totally unpre- pared. Consequently, with this type endeavor and honesty are your salvation. The non-workable professor embodies the real impediment and unless the fol- 67 lowing laws of the science are thoroughly mastered, it may be necessary to re- sort to studying. Useful class neighbors are essential. Shun those who appear to be stu- dents in the old sense of the word. Select, first, those agreeing with your meth- ods, with whom team work may be developed. Secondly, choose those sub- ject to graftologistic flattery. A flirt or a happy-go-lucky person is readily reconciled to harmonious reciprocity. Having secured an efficient force of co- workers, and having developed scientific team work you have laid the founda- tion for the final and most important laws of graftology. Perfect your own resources. After having secured the best adapted Hponiesn and Ninterlinearsf' keen perception and smooth sleight-of-hand work must be cultivated. While constantly riveting one eye on the professor, em- ploy the other in scanning the surroundings. Keenly developed ears will catch the faintest prompting. Finally, the fingers should be so agile as slyly to extri- cate secret notes from side-pockets or sleeves at opportune moments. Train these members to write a page to the square inch on white cuffs, and to manipu- late each cuff. These three senses assisted by favorable neighbors will, if nothing else, save you from the arbitrary non-workable professor. Thus by wisely diagnosing each professor and by applying a suitable remedy, the modern student may be wholly emancipated from the slavery of study. To graftology as instituted by Rousseau we owe the final triumph of freedom, to this science we are indebted for the possibility of a student millenium. -A. A. GRAFT IN TI-IE KITCHEN. EDITOR,S NOTE:-The editors disclaim all responsibility as to the au- thenticity of the facts in the following article. But whatever may have been truth and whatever jtction matters little now, after the memorable chapel speech when the kitchen cloors were sealecl and the grafters thus came to grief. One scarcely knows where to begin with this subject, and to give the class '09 a prominent place in such an article makes the task two-fold difficult. To define the term graft in the kitchen is unnecessary since those who have it use the expression with such an air of conscious superiority that its importance is keenly felt and the lack of such an advantage deeply deplored. ln order to have such a graft you ought to be a waiter! They are actu- 68 ally to be envied! Did you ever see the extras set on their table? Enough to make you hungry again right after a square meal! But that isn't all! Why, if you are a waiter, you may go down into that kitchen at any time and have a royal feast. fAfter all, why shouldn't they?j I-lowever, we can't all be waiters, and so the next best is to be a boy-a jolly, good natured oneg at least so in the kitchen--. But some are unfortunate enough to be neither, and to these I can give no useful advice. There is no pre- scribed method by which to gain favor in that much coveted place, only be sure when you drop in on the keepers of this provision house that you are pleas- ant and considerate. Help make the place more cheerful by just a ray of sun- shine from your school world. But be cautious! for you never can tell what will happen. Some who have gained a permanent foothold in the kitchen have been known to find it difficult to keep. This was occasionally experienced by lngvoldstad who, besides being a boy, shared alike the privilege of waiter and favorite. It is great luck to be a boy, but to be a girl is sometimes even greater. During '06-'07 a bonny little lass, through her sunny disposition won the best graft in that kitchen ever held by an Ole, except perhaps Glenn, whose stand inw was exceptionally good. This maid of St. Olaf used to take her room-mate with her to the kitchen, and as the writer of this simple article was that lucky room-mate, she will endeavor to relate a little of what they learned on such expeditions. For a while they did not know who was who, much to my advantage, for l made such a rapid progress that when the mistake was discovered, it was too late to mend. Thus did l come on the inside of doingsv in the kitchen. Space will permit no detailed account of the many schemes to get more than our allotted portion from the cupboard of St. Olaf, or how l'l- and Rl accepted handouts from Miss S-. fShe had a graftj l-lowever, Feclde, lsakson, Tetlie, and others worked a graft with her for pultost sand- wiches. And we girls who claimed her friendship enjoyed the constant antici- pation of a bounteous spread-and indeed also its joyful realization. But l'm not supposed to tell tales on the Seniors or music students, and though it were possible, yet be it far from me to expose the class of !909. Taken all in all, the class of '09 is the best class St. Olaf ever harbored, fwith apologies to all classes equally goodj and consequently has a graft 69 everywhere, and some of its members stand especially high in the kitchen. It seems that one or two of them have a graft with the girls there and-but that is another subject. The students employ various methods in order to procure what food sup- ply they failed to get at the table. One good way and a popular one, is to Work a graft with some one who has a graft. A very modest way is to ask the ma- tron for the privilege of buying things or to beg them in a self-pitying tone. CA smooth wayj Some ask the first cook and get a generous portion, While others consult whomever they happen to meet and help themselves to more than they are entitled. A few things are not asked for-raisins mostly. From one of Doc. Glasoe's morning talks we concluded that some students allowed them- selves a few days of grace on the sick list in order to prolong a temporary graft in the kitchen. l-low about the ,09ers? Engh and l..ofty,,' being waiters, enjoyed all the good things belonging to their office and also a satisfied after-dinner feeling. No wonder they were good naturedl Oh, yesg the Farseths, too, used to wait on the table. They had a splendid scheme, that of changing off. Engelstad was assistant treasurer and it was good policy to treat him with respect. Though he was not guilty of working for a graft, he might have filled the requirements. ' Anderson had an all around stand in with the kitchen faculty, for Andy', always received a cordial reception. On more than one occasion did the baker save a piece of cake for him, in fact he was even known to make one! Joe's smile, which no one could resist, and that original way of directing a broad grin toward the coffee pot, worked Wonders, even procuring a cup of coffee with cream. Jorgen Thompson stood along side of Joe and the coffee can. When he entered the domains of the kitchen, everybody felt like having coffee. The inhabitants of this kingdom had a peculiar compassion for Bjorlee, the table setter, and he got things without even looking for them. Erickson was treated like one of their own, while Ritland went into active service and thus found favor in the kitchen. The girls of the class did not visit here often, except the writer, who did not count, being only an adopted member and one of the chronic kickersn at meals who sometimes resorted to the kitchen for further rations. 70 A few members of our loyal class we seldom saw in the kitchen and there were those who were never found there. Yet, l believe, they all visited occasionally, for the day after the Sophomore picnic found l-lauge, Gaarder, and even our worthy ex-President Running among those in search of the sand- wiches that were left over. There may have been others who held a graft in that kitchen,-most of the class deserved one-but the incidents mentioned and numerous others, which l would fain withhold, are what we gathered on our too frequent expe- ditions to the mysterious grub department of St. Olaf College. -A. I-I. THE SENTIMENTAI.. GRAFTER. Since the creation of woman, the world has been ruled by the sentimental grafter. According to Milton, Eve was its introducer. l-low beautifully il- lustrative of sentimental grafting are the words, Thee l have missed, and thought it long, deprived of Thy presencef, Ages have passed since then, but the influence exerted has not ceased. Today, every activity of life has been permeated by the work of the sentimental grafter. She plays an important part in the extension of kingdoms as well as in the fate and solution of questions. Titles and names are of little value when pitted against her ingenuity. To her, the world owes the thrilling elopement as well as the abject misery of broken hearts. Take from the world the work of the sentimental grafter and what would remain? Commonplace, everyday drudgery. There would be little sorrow, little joy, and little excitement. Monotony would predominate. The cry would be universally raised, Give us someone that will break the monot- ony.', Forth would proceed the sentimental grafter, who alone embodies these requirements. We therefore hail the sentimental grafter as a world benefac- tor, and though she may bring a little sorrow, we hope that there may be prog- ress in the art. Perfection is a dream. It has never been attained. This is especially noticeable in the art of grafting. Though the grafter may have a strong faith in her ability, sooner or later the inevitable will happen. She will make a mis- take and come out of the fray worsted. To lessen the percentage of these un- fortunates, l will give a little information supposed to be of inestimable value to the world. 71 The subjects upon which you are to practice, are of two kinds: first, those that are bashful and have little experienceg secondly, those that are wise to all methods and procedures. By no means make a mistake in deciding to what class the person belongs. H 'Thinks' are not what they seemf' If you are sure he belongs to the first class, you can proceed with confidence. Be a little careful at the beginning. Attract his attention by smiles and coy glances. Then commence talking about the weather, and carefully lead on to other sub- jects. Cn some line moonlight evening, make him take you towarcts home. Then proceed according to the directions of the celebrated, experienced, moon- light artist of the VIKING '08, in his Recipe for Angel's Foodf, After this there is no doubt about it, your graft is complete. The sentimental grafter has struck the job of her life when she com- mences to exercise her artistic propensities on one that is wise! You will need all your diplomacy. l-le will try to elude you just to find out your methods. Work your schemes as though you were unconscious of them. 'Show your charms. Let your conversation sparkle with .poetic terms of nonsensical en- clearments. Be lively, daring, reckless, chummy, or any other way to suit his mood. l-le will inevitably succumb to your charms. The Work of sentimental grafting is strenuous. Your reward will be great. Your book for dates will be full, and the opportunities to attend opera, lectures, and other social functions with your captive will be numerous. -E. T. y INDTRYK FRA DEN FORENDE KIRKES AARSMODE 1907. Som det er med den enkelte, saaledes ogsaa med den storre organisation, den har en drift til at tlytte hjem til sit eget. Det var derfor en glaedelig un- derretning at en av samfundets skoler blev kaaret til samlingssted for aarsmo- det. Efter lang tids omvanken og leieboerliv kunde vort samfunds repraesen- tanter for forste gang samles paa egen grund, i egne lokaler ved St. Olaf. St. Olaf var sig vel bevidst ansvaret ved at modtage en saa stor og Vaerdig forsamling. Rette vedkommende satte sig da ogsaa fore, at hvad der kunde gjores for at tilfredsstille alle rimelige fordringer, det skulde bli gjort. Efter skolens slutning blev elevernes sovevaerelser i en fart rommet av sine forrige be- boere. Dernaest blev hvert rum forsynet med en eller Here dobbeltsenge tilli-v gemed tlunkende nyt sengudstyr. Men ikke nok hermedg gymnastiklokalet, 72 bibliotekets basement og hovedbygningens klassevaerelser blev som ved et tryl- leslag forvandlet til soveleire. Lignende forholdsregler blev tat med hensyn til kostholdet. De igjenvaerende elever, som nu hadde tat tilflugt til dormitoriets kvistetage og til andre for de tilreisende ligesaa utilgjaengelige steder, blev uopholdelig gjort til kokke, opvartere, uslmere, kammertjenere o. s. v., enhver til det som han eller hun var bedst skikket for. Selve spisesalen blev naturligvis for liden. Denne mangel blev hurtig avhjulpet ved at reise et stoirt telt paa nordvestsiden av dormitoriet. Til at begynde med var veiret vaadt og graat. Landauerne hadcle fuld tralik med at bringe prester og delegater fra stationen til skolen. Senere hen blev det straalende solskin med en forfriskende skur av og til. Paa grund av den sene vaar stod skog og eng klaedt i sit friskeste gront. Det var en saerlig tilfredsstillelse at hore de besogendes begeistrede udtalelser om stedets natur- skjiinhed og heldige beliggenhed. Der var godt hode paa de karene som valgte denne grund for St. Olaf, var den veloverveiede slutning gubben fra Granite Falls kom til som vi spadserte over legepladsen, der bestaar av en jevn, haard Hade omgit av traer og med heldning til alle sider, pral-:tisk talt. En anden av de besogende udtrykte sin forundring over at graesset blev holdt nede i noksaa stor udstraekning. Kva ska no detta vaera godt for?,' Aa, det er for at det slcal se lidt bedre udf' Ja so, er det penare detta der daa? Vel, det er nu forudsaetningeng men om smag og behag kan der som bekjendt ikke diskuteresf' Paa grund av miidets saavelsorn de enkelte deltageres karakter gik det goclt an at benytte den storst mulige frihed i forretningsforselen. De be- sogende blev betragtet som gjester, og de paa sin side folte sig som hjemme. Det var meningen at gjore opholdet saa billigt som muligt uden at komme i gjaeld paa nogen kant. Efter hvert maaltid var der anledning til at betale for det nydte, og speciel kontrol var forsaavidt overflodig. Her kunde man Hnde bevis for den paastand at jo hoiere moralen staar, desto lavere kommer drifts- omkostningerne. Med ret forstaaelse holder denne sats stik i de forskjel- ligste grene av forretnings-og samfundslivet. Det er utroligt hvilke svimlende summer en nation anvender til kontrol og til forebyggelse av uretmaessige over- greb. Men det kommer os naturligvis ikke ved her. 73 Som et traek av aarsmodet, skjont i og for sig selv ikke egentlig del av samme, maa musikgudstjenesten naevnes. Under prof. Cliristiansens ledelse sang et blandet kor elleve koraler udsatte av ham selv for menighedssang. De fremmodte prester og delegater fyldte kapellet til traengsel. Alle var ivrige for at komme betids. Et kvarter for den bestemte tid for programmets aabning var siddepladsene optat. I mellemtiden var det interessant at betragte det hav av forventningsfulde ansigter. Der sad den gamle pioner med det furede, veirbidte ansigt, en levencle illustration av sit gamle faedreland. Jeg-impunb iatem singulari date-kuncle ikke undlade at taenke paa alle de tunge tag, de tusen besvaerligheder som liadcle krummet den sterke ryg. Det var ikke bare for sig selv han haclde kjaempet. Paa grund av sin kirkelige loyalitet var han villig til at baere alle noclvendige udgifter til det religiose aandslivs fremme- ja endog dem som mildest talt maatte forekomme ham unodvendige. jeg kom her til at taenke paa cle spredte settlementer hvor der, tiltrods for vor nationale identitet og, praktisk talt, faelles laere, staar to kirker ved siden av llinanden eller en paa liver sin side av veien, medens der paa andre steder ingen kirke er. .leg sa til mig selv: Det kan urnulig vaere disse maends iinske at en saa unaturlig til- stand sl-:al vedvare-en formodning som end mere styrkedes ved det kraftige bifald til en takadresse i anledning av det lovende samarbeide mellem komi- teerne fra de forskjellige norsk-amerikanske kirkesamfund. Ja taenk livad vort kirkefolk kunde gjore livis det stod enigtl Det kunde forlnedre den kirlcelige be- tjening, drive missionsarbeidet med storre kraft, gi skolerne et fuldstaendigere udstyrg det kunde oprette et universitet paa hoide med hvilketsomhelst i de vestlige stater. En saadan institution med stotte i en oplyst, religios farmer- befolkning vilde ha betingelsen for at ove en ledende indflydelse paa Norclve- stens fremtidige kultur. l-lvorfor saa denne kunstige splittelse? Dens grund- loshed og svaekkende virkninger er nok til at saette det mest langmodige men- neskes taalmodiglied paa prove. jeg negter aldeles ikke for at Vi er sterke, at om vi sloser med kraften, saa har vi adskilligt igjeng men livorfor da ikke hellere saette maalet saa hoit, gjore vognen saa stor at der blir plads for alle til at skyve i samme retning? Smaa ideer samler smaa flokke, store ideer forener nationer. -Men stop! hvor bmrer det hen? Vi befinder os fremdeles i kapellet.-Ved siden av den gamle pioner sidder den yngre farmer og forretningsmand i sin fulde kraft. Det intelligente udtryk vidner om at han har forstaat betydningen av at folge med tiden, av at gjore sig skikket for de forskjellige tillidslwerv. 74 V DELEGATERNE VED AARSMODET , D Der sidder ogsaa den graahaarede-saafremt det graa ikke er forsvundet-den graaliaarede pionerprest, udslidt av at kjore sine I5-20 mil og holde to a tre praekener hver sondag. Dog, der er et glimt i oiet, en straale av ungdoms be- geistring tiltrods for et svaekket legeme. Endelig har vi den yngre belevne pre- stemand, av livem andre ieligiose og sproglige problemer venter sin losning. Et traek faelles for hele forsamlingen er en umislcjendelig sterk religios interesse. ' Tiden er nu inde for programmets aabning. Prof. Christiansen indtai sin dirigentstilling, og koret synger. Allerede ved den forste salme: Kirlcen den er et gammelt bus, foler forsamlingen sig grebet, og for hver ny salme, ledsaget av en traelfende indleding av praesident Kildahl, stiger stemningen, indtil ogsaa forsamlingen efter opfordring istemmer Sions vaegter haever ro- sten,', og, Den store hvide llok vi se, ja da var det som hele huset skalv. Sjel- den eller aldrig er vel disse sange blit sunget av en saa stor og begeistret forsam- ling. Flere udtalte ligefrem at det var det bedste de hadde liort, at de ikke hadde taenkt sig muligheden av en saadan udforelse. Sikkert er det at vor lcirlce besidder en loftende kraft i sin salmeskat. Det som i saerlig grad gav aarsmodet sit praeg, var behandlingen av slcole- sporsmaalet. Nodvendigheden av en god religionsskole blev tolket med glo- dende veltalenhed. l-ladde blot vort menigliedsfolk hort disse indlaeg, vilde det udentvil gjort endnu mere for ordningen av hensigtsmaessige religionsskoler. Paa enkelte punkter var meningsforskjellen skarpymen kunde man ikke altid enes om maaden og midlerne, saa var man dog enige med hensyn til maalet. Diskussionen om Normalskolen var isaer livlig. En del holdt for at mere til- fredsstillende resultater vilde opnaaes ved at stotte de bestaaende akademier og colleges med de bevilgninger som ellers gaar til Normalskolen. En anden del av forsamlingen ansaa nedlaeggelsen av Normalskolen for at vaere et skadeligt tilbageskridt. Jeg skal aldrig glemme med hvilken ild og kraft en av de aeldre prester traadte i skranken for Normalskolen. Med begeistrin- gens gltid i oiet stod han der som et levende bevis for den sats: En dag yngre for liver dag som gaarf' Vendende sig rundt til forsamlingen siger han: Vi som skulde vaere banebrydere og fanebaerere, vi er en vigende fylking. Paa os passer det: Gaar til sin gjerning de norske maend viljeliist, vimrende, ved ei hvorlien, skrukker sig hjerterne, smyger sig sindene, veke som vaggende vidjer for vindenef' Dog Normalskolen blev bjerget. Og naar der av og til klages over store udgiftsposter til samfundets gjoremaal, saa kunde man onske at de 76 DEN FORENEDE KIRKES TRUSTEES SOM VAR TILSTEDE VED AARSM6DET I NORTHFIELD, MINN ' ' mf---T . sf gifaisgiff - J.

Den fandt sted i kapellet sonclag den l6de juni-en av disse herlige sommerdage da solen skinner og marken ler, blomsten dufter og skogen synger. En midlertidig alterring var opfort paa kapellets platform. Formanden og vice-formanden tilligemed et par andre prester hadde saede indenfor ringen. Udenfor ringen var kandida- terne i fuldt ornat placeret. Bagenfor ringen var et med ordinanderne lige antal prester i ornat skzafet tilsaede. Pastorerne Aarrestad, Stenberg, O. A. Mellby, og Joh. Cranskou oplaeste skriftsteder. Derpaa holdt formand Dahl ordina- tionstalen. l-lan la saerlig vegt paa at de vordende prester burde vaere monstre for lijorden, at de maatte saette alle uvedkommende hensyn tilside, saa at de i det liele kunde udfore sin gjerning i troskab. Derefter haandspaalaeggelse og bon. Bag hver kandidat stillet en av de for naevnte prester sig med hoire liaand paa ordinandens hoved. Nu avlagdes presteeden. Med opreist hoire liaand svor de vordende prester at ville laere Guds ord og at forvalte sakramenterne i overensstemmelse med den hellige skrift og den lutherske kirkes bekjendelse. Det var et hoitideligt oieblik, og forsamlingen hadde en fornemmelse av Guds saerlige naerhed. Samme dags eftermiddag holdtes avskedsfest for de ordinerte og uddra- gende missionaerer. To missionssostre fra Kina, Oline Netland og lngeborg Pederson, var ogsaa tilstede. Den forstnaevnte liadde vaeret i Kina i I5 aar, den sidstnaevnte i 8 aar. Formand Dahl talte alvorlig om menigliedens mis- sionspligt. Disse vore missionsarbeidere, sagde han, er vore stedfortraedereg de er ifaerd med at udfore den gjerning som du og jeg skulde udfore. De fordriver morket og spreder lys ude blandt liedningerneg paa den maade adlyder de Jesu befaling til sin menighed. Efterpaa holdt liver av de ordinerte missions- prester en kort tale, i hvilken de udtrykte sin laengsel efter at faa begynde Her- rens .gjerning i de fjerne egne. Paa samme tid bad de ogsaa den hjemme- vaerende menighed om dens forbon og stotte.

Have you ever stopped to ponder, Midst this maddened rush of life, Why you're destined here to wander In a world so full of strife? Have you tried to grasp the meaning In sincere and earnest thought, Life is not for idle dreaming But for work that must be wrought? Have you thought what task awaits you, And if summoned, would you go? Would you walk the path of duty, Though it led extremely low? Have you thought how life is earnest, That for all it has a goalg Though our tasks he e'er so varied, One for all-to save a soul? Have you thought how great and glorious It will he that latter dayg To luring forth our sheaves victorious, At the Master's feet them lay? Let us malfe in earnest living Every day a day for Cod,- Oh, let each, his faults amending, ' Tread the path that Christ hath trod. -I-IENRY LANGUM 80 NAUGI-ITY DGINGS ON MANITOU I-IEIGI-ITS. The spirits of Indians long since departed were having their annual reunion. Braves from every valley of the happy hunting grounds had assembled around the council fire to hear the reports and to take part in the election of officers for the coming year. The chief spirit had called the meeting to order by lighting the council pipe, and was distributing very bountifully the favor of taking a few puffs, for he was a candidate for re-election. Presently one of the most airy of the spirits arose and addressed the chair as follows: You, Q most incorporeal and immaterial chief and you brave spirits who have done great things in the past! The task, put upon me by the last meet- ing, of making some original investigations and Writing a thesis thereon has been accomplished and the report will now be given. The phenomena that have been under observation during the past year occurred at a place called by the vulgar palefaces, Manitou Heights. This name is of good Indian origin, but due to an oversight it was not copyrighted, and is now used by schools for advertising purposes. The heights are now oc- cupied by many large wigwams where the young braves and young squaws stay. But the Wigwam of the squaws is small and old, and this shows that the subjects under observation have not degenerated into the practice found among many palefaces of giving the greatest comforts and conveniences to the squaws. Another thing which will gladden the heart of every Indian spirit is the fact that the blood-curdling war-whoops which used to resound on Manitou Heights and used to strike terror to the heart of the enemy, are still in some degree to be heard. F or every time a ball game is held some feeble attempts are made to imitate the yells of old. The convention will excuse the fact that so many technical expressions are used, but the subject is so abstruse that it is impossible to find simple Indian idioms to express the meaning. As an example it may be mentioned that, although a doctor fof medicine or philosophyj can be referred to as a medicine man, there is a shade of difference in meaning that is not ex- actly conveyed by the term. Great disturbances were observed in the society world of St. Olaf at the beginning of the year l907. The two old literary societies had stretched the membership clause of their constitutions until it cracked, and some of the mem- bers slipped out through the crevice. Some members had the primitive idea, that a society should not be larger than that a member could get an opportunity to 81 take part in the exercises at least once during his college career. There were also some Freshmen who grew melancholy and took to drinking coffee because they could not join. Preparations were being made to have some of the memf bers from the old societies help launch a new society. But then arose the old question of federal rights and secession. Dark clouds of civil war gathered. Threats were made to call in The l-lague tribunal to settle the dispute. But as doubts were raised whether this court could enforce its decrees, the matter was finally referred to a faculty committee and settled. The Seniors had been quiet for some time and an eruption was about due. The explosion came when they proposed that compulsory athletics should be introduced. Speeches welled forth spontaneously. Some students became so excited over the matter that they forgot to remark on the weather and to kick on the boardf' When the smoke of battle had cleared away athletics were found to be compulsory and in due time an instructor was procured. Young men engaged in the peaceful occupation of translating Latin were rudely dragged to the gymnasium and forced to move their arms and legs, a process with which they were evidently unfamiliar. The girls, having made Ha trip around the world, trimmed the constitu-- tion of their society according to the latest model, gave the society a Greek name, made sixteen tons of fudge, and looked around for more worlds to conquer. nl-low sad it must be for the boys not to know anything about cooking, said one. Let us write a cook-book, said another. And straightway they wrote one. The people of Gustavus Adolphus had always found it difficult to agree with the Oles on questions of national importance, and when they heard that these did not believe in an income tax they were of course strongly in favor of it. Couldn't we talk it over with them?M someone said. And although an ultra-practical Senior remarked that we ought to think about getting an actual income before we worried about an income tax, the decision was taken that a commission should be sent with full power to come to an understanding. After some talking back and forth the ucustiesi' were convinced that they did not want an income tax. But what was the faculty doing all this time? Not having played base- 82 ball since they had a game with the Seniors in l902, they thought life was getting rather monotonous for them and so they went into the regulating busi- ness. There being no occasion on Manitou Heights for making any shipping rate regulations or for enacting any pure-food laws, they turned their attention toward governing the outside work of the students, and adopted a set of rules that are models in grammar and punctuation. Another matter of great importance was the inter-class track-meet. flu spite of the hyphens this name is not of Indian originj. The classes really did not meet until after the contest, when they discussed what had happened. Be- fore the meet great preparations took place. Knut jingled his medals and studied international law on the eligibility of combatantsg some Freshmen train- ed before a mirror to get the right pose. The result of it was that the class of '09 received a banner with some picture-writing on it by which to remember they had won the meet. These are a few of the past year's doings which throw light on the life on Manitou Heights. Many more might be added, but if anyone wishes for more information he is referred to the VIKING '09. THE DORMITORY FIRE. On the morning of March 4th the occupant of room No. I4 arose at 5 oiclock as was his wont. After lighting his lamp and dressing rapidly he left the room, locking the door behind him, little dreaming that he was leaving a nucleus of destruction behind which would soon throw the peaceful slumberers of the Dormitory into wild confusion. Hundreds of plausible theories have been advanced to explain the origin of a spark in a closed chiffonier drawer at such an hour of the morning, but perhaps the most plausible one is as follows: The drawer being open when the lamp was lighted, a spark unnoticed found its way thither and as the drawer was immediately closed considerable time elapsed before any outward manifestation bespoke what was taking place within. At length, gaining access to the outer air, the smouldering flame, being thus impart- ed with renewed strength, made rapid strides along its path of destruction, leap- ing from chiffonier to near-by articles of clothing and thence, with ever increas- ing force it followed the woodwork to various parts of the room. Fortunately the only avenue of escape for the smoke was through the transom into the hall and thence up the stairways to the third floor.

The fire hose was next resorted to but proved itself sadly deficient, for it did not cover more than about one-half the space necessary to reach the fireg but even if it had been of sufficient length its serviceableness would have been very doubtful, for when the water was turned on, contrary to all expectations, it ejected a stream of Water only about three feet in length. This most incompe- tent agency for protection against fire was at once abandoned and the chemical fire extinguishers were turned to, as a last resort. With the skillful manipula- tion of these, Doc and uKnut had the fire quenched in an incredibly short time. This, in brief, is the history of the first real fire in the St. Qlaf Dormitory, but this article would not be complete if none of the minor details were men- tioned. Pages might be devoted to the description of the appearance of the throng that surged through the halls. Pajamas, patent leathers, and new hats constituted the attire of the majority of the spectators. A pres- ent Junior was distinctly seen attired as above specified, elbowing his way ff fl if-SZ f QW' bf Y 'NJ iw ' 5555 l ,iff LJ 5. , 'n We ' -'..

An unfor- tunate victim of the mumps was being hurried out of the building by his room- mate, who carried a supply of bed clothing in which he intended to wrap his pa- tient after bringing him out of reach of the Hames. ln order to do justice to all, a few words must be said regarding those who as yet had not left their rooms. These may be divided into two classes: the active and the inactive. But little need be said of the latter, for, heedless of the tumult which surrounded them, they were still in the land of dreams. Not so with the formerg with all the nimbleness that could be mustered up they were gathering their valuables together and packing them into their trunks, evidently anticipating a hasty departure. In fact a few sawht to hurl their trunks through the windows before making any investigation as to the extent and whereabouts of the fire. The utter helplessness of the Dormitory students in case of a midnight hre was clearly demonstrated by this occurrence. ln order that the uactiven stu- dents may hereafter be permitted to pack their trunks without compunction of conscience because of not helping to extinguish the Hames or of not doing their share to help awaken the endangered slumberers, and in order that the vinac- tive may in a systematic manner, be notified of their peril, the students have organized a fire department composed of twenty-one members, who shall have full charge of all fires, not only in the Dormitory, but in all buildings belonging to the college. -I.

Wearily anc sleepily the old oflice'clock ticked ong it seemed to long for rest. The editor slowly passed his right hand over his brow and turned his swivel chair around facing the young reporter. So it was impossible to obtain an interview with l-larnackf' he began. Too bad, too bad. Yes, it is aggravating, but there was no chance whatever. The reporter was anxious to justify himself in the eyes of his employer. Not even a Sher- lock Holmes could have devised a scheme for getting at him. i Well, having missed him, tomorrowls paper will be rather dry, I had depended on you, Jones, to manage l-larnackf' There was a shade of reproof in the editorys voice. But if he won't, he won't, that,s all there's to itf, He rose from his 'chair and looked over some papers on an adjoining desk. Edwards was a typical American, broad-shouldered and with keen, clear-cut features, suggesting shrewdness and determination. The reporter was of a slighter build, but perhaps of a more cultured and refined nature. Before that Hawes' case is decided we will hardly have anything worth while to offer our readers, continued Edwardsg most likely they will decide tonight and render their decision tomorrowf, Could we get at the jury's verdict before tomorrow morning, that would certainly be a scoop for our paper, mused the reporter. ' lf we could, yesg but how can we? Tell me that will you? asked the editor with a cynical smile. No, the reporter had no scheme ready just theng having suggested crawl- 86 ing through the keyhole and hiding under one of the chairs in the court room, or assaulting one of the jury men going home, he gave up. It was now about ten o'clock and the reporter arose, put on his overcoat. and prepared to go home, Edwards had yet some little work to do and light- ing a William Penn, he began writing an editorial that would make Brother Benson of the HDaily Argus, fBrindlay's other daily, sit up and take notice. Finally his work was finished and it was with a sense of relief mingled with weariness that he closed his desk and prepared to leave his office. The paper was now going to press and he handed his editorial to the foreman re- marking that when people don't want to do anything interesting, they can't expect an editor to furnish them with anything interesting to read. Outside the air was cold and crisp, it was late in November, but no snow had yet fallen. The streets were deserted, here and there a lonely pedestrian hurriedly made his way home. As he briskly walked along, Edwards couldn't help thinking of what Jones had said about the jury,s verdict. Things had not been running smoothly of late, somehow or other the Argus, always managed to get ahead of him. They had always been there before him. Now that wretched case of the Halston murder, the first thing he knew about it was when he read it in the NA,rgus.', And now the Njournaln had been trying to interview l-larnack, catch him just as he came fresh from Washington, and of course they missed him. Could he get at the verdict of the jury? If he could- Edwards didn't follow the thought to an end, but his editor,s instinct gave an exultant throb. . Unconsciously he had walked in the direction of the courthouse. Now he saw the large building loom up before him with vague outlines in the dark- ness. As Edwards was looking at it he saw that there was light in the room to the left on second story. It was evidently there that the jury was in session. Wild schemes of all descriptions whirled through the editor,s brain. College pranks came to his mind and suggested different methods. There-the light went out. 55 95 55 55 55 35 When the worthy citizens of Brindlay received their morning's Hjournaln on the following day, they all of a sudden became interested. They rubbed their eyes, pinched themselves in the arms to make sure they were not dream- ing, and read the item once more. Sure enough, there it wasg the results of the 87 different ballots were given so accurately that there could be no room for a lucky guess. Brindlay became excited as never before in its modest history. Every- body gave vent to his surprise, using a variety of intonations according to his individual nature. When the court was set at I0 o'clock the court room was packed. The foreman of the jury announced that they had finally agreed, and read the re- sults of the different ballots and finally the verdict. Exactly! Just what the Journal had said. ' Later in the day the judge, a prim, dried-up old lawyer, who held the Hhonahn of the court as sacred as the Bible, summoned Edwards to meet and explain how he had obtained his knowledge of the jury's verdict. To this Ed- wards complied, and if the court room had been packed in the morning it was no less so now. Edwards having taken the stand, the judge put on a stern air and began: 'Alt is fortunately the first time in my experience that anything similar to this has happened. You have thrown a slur on the honesty of these worthy gentlemenf' and the judge frowned severely, also upon the 'honah, of the court. Now I beg you to answer as if under oath, the questions I intend to put to you ln ' Yes, your honor, with pleasuref' responded Edwards. I-le seemed not in the least concerned, but wore a light and easy air. Did you, began his honor, 'shave any communication whatsoever with any of these gentlemenf, he pointed to the jury, during last night or before this morning?', No, your honor, l have not exchanged a word, either written or orally with any one of them. Have you listened at the door, and thus heard their deliberations? No, sir, you know yourself that such a thing would not be possible, and even if it were, I wouldnlt do it. The judge was puzzled, Edwards was evidently speaking the truth. l-le hated to own up that he was completely in the dark, but it seemed as if he had to. An idea struck him, his face lightened up, this time he had it, there was no way out of it. Did you tamper with the envelope?,' 88 No, sir. Did any of the bailiffs give you the desired information? No, sir. 6'Who told you then?,' No one did, sir. This was too bad, he had to give up. Will you then, lVlr. Edwards, kindly tell us who gave you that verdict? Well, sir,,' said Mr. Edwards, nl might refuse on the grounds that l would incriminate myself, but l shall do it.', ' The whole court room was silent and expectant. Edwards looked around at the audience as if he was looking for somebody. ul don't see the night janitor here, he said, would you kindly call him?,' The janitor appeared in a few minutes in response to the hasty summons. He was new in his business, had come to the town a few months before, and through the influence of his honahn had obtained this job. l-le looked alarmed as if he feared that he had done some Wrong. ul wish to put a few questions to this man, if the court has no objections. The court only bade him in an impatient voice to proceed. You had been drinking a little last night, hadn't you? was Edwards' first remark. The janitor's face surged red, but he owned up. When you cleaned up the room after the jury left it, where did you de- posit the contents of the waste basket? , ln the engine room as usual, l thinkf' replied the janitor. No, you didn't, you emptied it in the back alley. Oh, yes, that,s right, l remember, stammered the man as his brain slowly cleared and the facts of last night,s happenings dimly appeared. Say, he continued, Hdidn't l see a man around there about that time, was that you?,' Very probable that it was, answered Edwards with a laugh. 89 Cha p2 ,f f i n A? -J w Q Z , L A rf' xxw ' ,, ,hi 14- IES V jf W . :sf 2 gi ,fi 14,13 .fame Xfg f , f ix , f,,- be I FI 5' Q W 'F' 'Q Nik X tl, .

BU, 'O 92 FROM TI-IE VIEWPOINT OF AN ALUMNUS. A study of the Reformation has taught me that undertaking a great re- formation should not be begun on Saturday night as there is no rest connected with it. So do not look this way with pitying glances. l am in this matter with both eyes open and with both 'feet ready to run the other way any time. Look the other way and be convinced. l presume there are no three people who look so differently at the same thing as the student, the professor, and the alumnus. l have tried the student way and the alumnus way. So far l have been spared the professor way, but judging from his actions l infer that he has a different way from the other two. Judging from the number of applications for vacancies, there is no lack of schoolmen in these days. There are also a few school-womeng but l have never yet heard of a student-man or woman. When this fact dawned upon me I began to sit and look around. It does seem a little significant that all the others are on the school side and only myself on the student side. It is no wonder that the whole thing has become one-sided and centered in the school. Of course, l realize that, in the first place, this condition has ages of tra- dition to hold it in place, and, in the second place, it is further enhanced by the centralizing tendency of the time in which we live, or rather try to exist, so that nobody of the immediate present can really be taken to task for it. It is a question of growth, not birth. While this centralization of the school power has been going on, the poor deluded student body has been helping to forge its own chains by rushing in, paying its own good money, or that of its fathers, and in return trying to get something out of it, and some even succeeding in working up enthusiasm over it to the extent of shouting rah! at the football games. When finally, after years of constant battle with and fear of this centralized favor, the student body emerges from its grasp, they begin to sit up and take notes. Some try to get even by joining the rank of the school men, others do not, and one at least has become a student-man. l know very well that the college presidents and the board of directors, yes, even the whole fraternity of college professors will excommunicate me, not so much out of convictions as out of policy, because they are school-men and in the majority, while l am only a student-man and decidedly in the minor- 93 ity. And of course every majority sits on the minority, providing it is big enough to sit on. I am not going to nail up 95 theses. I might do so, and thus go down in history side by side with Luther, but I want to declare right here that I don't like to go down, and furthermore this reformation has not been prompted by such base motives. It has been prompted by the noble purpose of rectifying some of the abuses under which the past and present student bodies have been groaning, this groan having become so loud that it can be distinctly heard at every football and baseball game. At this writing I will content myself by simply mentioning one thing which I hope will open the eyes of the whole student body, and perhaps also some of these ardent school-men, although as to the latter it would be almost hoping against hope because it affects their pocketbooks negatively. I presume I should have begun with addition, but as I started out to re- form I might as well begin right here with subtraction. If this reformation is ever going to reform its object there will be a great deal more of subtraction done in the future than in the past. The point that I want to emphasize is, that most students are being held up every day while they are at school, because the school-men seem to take it for granted that all students have the same capacity for learning and so, act- ing on that assumption they have arranged a uniform price of tuition. I am not a schoolman, I am only a student-mang but I know that this assumption is wrong. All students are not equally capable of learning, and therefore it is wrong to expect all students to pay the same tuition fee. I have groaned with- in me lots of times as I finish my dinner in restaurants run on the American plan, because I have had to pay just as much for my dinner as the next man who eats three times as much as I do. The school-men have protected themselves by demanding the tuition fee in advance. That of course, is wrong because not even they can decide the ca- pacity for learning in a new student. But I will grant, that the school-men may, and even ought to charge tui- tion fees in advance, as it may stimulate a student to get his money's worth of learning out of a schoolg but when he is through at school he ought to be reim- bursed for what he has not learned. When the president of the school presents the graduate with his diploma, there ought to be attached to it a check for what 94 he has not learned. If this plan were adopted it would lessen the financial hard- ships of a great many students when they are to take up life's vocation. The president of the school in his address to the graduates often emphasizes the life before them as a battle and gives them all kinds of adviceg but the check of which I speak would perhaps be of infinitely more help to them in making a good start than all this advice. I know that in my case, if this plan had been in vogue at the time I gradu- ated, I would have been put in position to live a life of ease and freedom from care the rest of my life. But while I did not get the benefit of it, I hope that the matter can be so arranged that my children can fare better than I did. WAHoo, '95. WHEN GAMBLER AND PREACI-IER MEET. The Milwaukee Free Press prints the following story about one of the members of the St. Olaf College Alumni Association, who during his college course was engaged as a commercial traveler, and who since his entrance upon the ministry, from the story, has evidently not been able to get rid of all of the earmarks of the Ndrummerf' Not many years ago the Rev. Gustav Stearns, pastor of the English Luth- eran Church of the Ascension, Scott and Reed streets, this city, was traveling through the Southwest when a sportily dressed man boarded the train and dropped into the seat beside him. The newcomer wore a suit marked like a checker-board and diamonds enough to open a jewelry shop that would rival Tilfany's. Moreover, he was inclined to be friendly. Say, guy, wotss yer line? he queried, good-naturedly jabbing the clergy- man in the ribs with a redoubtable elbow. I W-why, I'm a minister of the gospel, replied Mr. Stearns, his face red- dening somewhat at the stranger,s familiarity. Aw, g'wan, guy. Don't ye try to hand me nothin' like that. I'm a wise Willie. See! Wat d, ye take me fer-a mut? W-whyireally, my good man, I don't seem to understand, said the min- ister, rather embarrassed at the speech. I-Iuh! Cut it out, I'm on biggefn a house. Wot's yer line?H repeated the affable stranger. ' I believe I told you I am a minister of the gospelf' 95 Say, I ain't from Missouri, but you've got to show me, retorted the man with the clothes and the diamonds. - That was when clergymen carried credentials with which they could se- cure half-fare rates on the railroads. lVIr. Stearns happened to think of a plan which might be effective in proving his identity. ' VVell, here are my credentials, he said, reaching into his inner pocket and bringing forth his identification book. Say, guy, yer de goods. Dat,s a good game. Put me wise. Where'd ye get next to de book? Travel half fare, eh? I been looking fer one o' dem books fer a long time. Yer a real sport, ye are. Where can I line up one o' dem books, anyhow? W-why, only ministers can have these, said Mr. Stearns, returning the credentials to his pocket rather hurriedly. AW, g'wan, said the stranger, and then he subsided for a few minutes. I-Ie finally had to talk again, and remarked casually: Yer can't make me bilieve yer a preacher. I don't know what yer game is, but it don't cut no ice with me anyhow. If yer been doin' something crook- ed and wants ter get away and wants ter pretend yer a preacher instead of a drummer or another sport of some kind it ain't my funeral. I suppose yer think I am a detective or someone else looking fer yer scalp, but I ain't. I don't mind tellin' yer what I do. I run a pool room down in Hot Springsf, O-o-o-o-o-o-h! Mr. Stearns's exclamation was long enough to excite the affable strangeras curiosity. Say, guy, ye know wot a pool room is, don,t ye?H he asked boisterously. Ch, indeed yes, said Mr. Stearns, his face lighting up at his ability to answer, a pool room's a place where they play poolf, For the benefit of some of our readers who are not accustomed to a gam- bler,s language it may be well to explain that a Hpoolroomuvis a place where Hpoolsi' are formed in order to bet on horse races. In other Words Mr. Stearns' companion was the manager of one of the largest gambling places in I-lot Springs, Ark. Mr. Stearns' unfamiliarity with gambling terms accomplished what his credentials could not do. I-luhla' the stranger snorted in contempt, I guess yer a minister all right, and I thought I had run up against a real sport! With a mumbled apology about his line o' talk the stranger left his seat rather suddenly and ambled toward the smoking car. 96 TI-IE CLAY-VVEBSTER DEBATE OF '97. Of the happenings at college during my great day, two of the most noteworthy were embodied in great epics written by Carl Homme in Homeric style, spirit, and beauty.-and hexameter verse. They were entitled The Tragedy of the Cats, and The Falling Axf, I hope a later issue of the VIKING may receive a copy of these from the author. The original manu- scripts have no doubt already been bought by Andrew Carnegie. Of the others that are both deserving and possess the requisite motif without the incubus of a zleus ex machina, it seems to me none is more worthy than the great Clay- Webster debate of '9 7. It was the annual program of the renowned lVlanitou.H The academy that year was top-heavy on musicg the college was more able to H11 the par- quet than the orchestra. The Alpha Beta Chi had given its program, and in spite of the fact that l had been one magna pars, the Manitouites thought their stars were set about right to outshine the college. at as 'lf' The audience was one worthy of the best efforts of the performers. ln it was Pabst-Whose lamp once exploded while he was outside but did not cause a conflagration be- cause, as his landlord said, there was not enough oxygen in the roomg there was Tiny who once lost his knee-pants on a trip to Decorahg there was Hobo who in his Freshman year mistook the professorls shawl for a shoe-dusterg there was Rubberneck who left school because he had been insultedg present were Skrefsrucl liz Jack famous on account of cod-liver oil, nocturnal wood-pile-re- plenishing expeditions, and seances Cheld light cladj defensive and hortatory with Broder Smitn on the Xenophontic time and manner of splitting woody there was Krohn who boarded on us a few days longer because invited, as he told Prof. Ytterboe, by en som kalder sig for Snyder gn then there was Wahoo on one of his visits, this time minus the diminutive corduroy hat that caused so much umbrage and stumbling in his senior yearg present were those who wanted absences from society excused acc't bathsf' and this in spite of the fact that their father did not believe in baths and Pear's soap. But time and space would fail me were I to make personal mention of each individual who that evening helped to compose that desideratum of public speakers, that source of inspiration which is usually left undesignated with the word audience. Enough has been said to establish the fact that there was an audienceg and that it was one later if not then renowned. 97 The start was made. A declamation and an oration had been thrown in as appetizers to the throng that hungered for the debate. It was reached. In solemn and impressive accents the president of the evening read the question: Resolved, That Clay was a greater statesman than Webster. The affirma- tive was upheld by Mr. Crest. l-lis general address was winningg his words weighted with facts and conviction. l-le used his time well. When, after building with his arguments an apparently impregnable pyramid, he closed with an impassioned appeal to his hearers a great burst of approval arose. at at :F l-lad the affirmative been good, no less was expected from the negative. That side was to be presented by a man who was indeed of a poetic turn of heart, but who, it was known, could blend his poetic ideas into a debater's mesh difficult to penetrate. Mr. l-lolmes appeared upon the platform smiling cheerfully. When, before beginning, he poured out for himself a glass of water from that pitcher which his predecessor on the stage had considered an ornament-there was a ripple of laughter. Mr. Holmes said he was glad we were feeling good: so was he. Then with angularly bent form and outstretched arm he turned his attention to the subject at hand. The tribute just paid to Clay it did not tax his lexicographical abilities to answer. Clay to him did not seem worthy of many big words. l-le was not considering the eschatological ends of these two l-lercules's of the forumg as he understood the debatorial situation, the problem- atic posture of his intellectual cranium was this: While Clay may have been a star in the firmament of congressional bodies, was it not a fact incontrovertible, unassailable, not subject to doubt or query that in this same statesmanic constel- lation Webster was the Helios, the scintillating diadem, the light-bearing She- mesh, yea the very Shemshon of oratorical, historiographical, and lexifactial prowess? From such a standpoint he was willing, nay, rejoiced to discourseg from any other it would be impossible. He needed not doubt the temper of his audience. The smiles, the laughs, the tears, the aching sides, the utter abandon of the one lone uproff' who had intended to stem the tide and add dignity to the occasion,-all these were the most potent evidence that his exordium had had its effect. l-le proceeded. Poetic minds have at all times demanded a li- cence in the use of words. I-lis was no exception. Monosyllables may do for the matter-of-fact, but they are utterly inadequate for the mind that sees. As he progressed the unabridged was drawn upon more and more. No Noah's Academici' for him. It took the full scope of nomenclature to tell of Webster's 98 greatness. While it was impossible for me Ha plain, blunt man to reproduce his words, I shall now try to present in a simple manner, a few of his thoughts. I-le said in part: My friends, edible herbs cultivated for the maintenance of the culinary department of the Webster domicile were vanishing from the gar- den. A gin was set. A woodchuck was entrapped. 'Zeke' brings him to the house with the avowed intention of executing capital punishment upon him. Daniel, upon whose face no hirsute appendages were yet visible, protested. The case was laid before the father. 'Zeke' told what everyone knew. The woodchuck was suspected of bequeathing unto himself some of those fruits of nature found in the Webster gardeng he ought to die. Then Daniel arose, and as he portrayed the unbounded bounty of vegetable growths, as he vividly re- habilitated their memories from which acknowledgement of erstwhile susten- ance had fled with such velocity, as he exhibited before the father-judge the inborn, God-given, inalienable right of every creature regardless of color, fur, or present condition of captivity to liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness, captured the captive forced freedom from his captor. The memorable words of the father were these: 'Zeke, you let that woodchuck go., There, my dear friends, it was indicated and prognosticated that Daniel would become a great manf, Did statesmanship include readiness as a public speaker? Clay was a stuttering beginner beside Webster the finished Demosthenes. Were knowl- edge, wisdom, wit, and fundamental greatness to be taken into account? Clay was found to wilt in Webster's shadow. But l close feeling that the inadequacy of what has been written is so great as to fairly subject me to a libel suit for Ha failure to employ words of size commensurate with those used on the said occasionf' Those who were not present at that debate may weep at the foregoing jumble of wordsg those who were present will weep at the recollection brought up in this halting manner. For when Mr. Holmes had finished, we remembered indeed that there was once a pigmy httingly called Clay but he was growing less all the time,-while from the horizon of our minds was marching steadily into fuller and clearer view a man of ability in general, in particular a cogent reasoner, a man of command- ing bearing and words, the paragon of eloquence among American statesmen, Daniel Webster. QLAF LYSNES, '98. 99 St- Qlaf Association Das Ailaniische Meer. The history of the band trip across the water has been written and pub- lished. And it is not because we believe that the inhabitants of the earth have been insufficiently informed of the events and incidents that occurred on that memorable journey, that the following reminiscences of a part of it are given. The reason is quite a different one. When a man has traveled, naturally he feels a great pride and a keen enjoyment in letting others know something about his experiences. If he has traveled by land he delights to tell about the places visited by him, to describe the buildings and landmarks seen, and to express his views on conditions of human existence, as he met them in other parts of the world. It is not our purpose to tell of travels on land, but to describe briefly a voyage across the sea. To begin with, it is a matter worth mentioning perhaps, that our route was via La Crosse and The Seven Hunters' Islands. The ocean lay some- where between these two places--fortunately for the islands. We remember the former place as one somewhat more thickly inhabited than the latter, in fact its population, as we have since found out, is quite dense. I-low little did we dream then, that we would ever see that spot of earth again? that to its al- ready long list of reputations we would add one more? From La Crosse to the second place mentioned one travels partly by rail and partly by boat. Just how much the railroad fare was, I do not know, nor do l remember all the buildings that were to be seen along the route. Any- one interested in this part of our journey is referred to guide books of the vari- ous places passed through by us. These were by no means few nor altogether unimportant. There were for example Chicago and New York, quite respect- able places, I should imagine, so far as size, was concerned. Many buildings are to be seen in each of these places, but I would rather not take the space to describe them. It was somewhere on the other side of New York that we ran into Das Atlantische Meer. . After leaving the docks it does not take the boats long to find it, they are 100 so used to doing that. We soon saw and recognized it even though this was our first ocean voyage. I have no doubt but that all people are impressed alike by the first sight of the ocean. On this occasion the passengers all crowded on deck and gazed out over the wide expanse, watching the billows roll on grace- fully until they disappeared in the distance. A few hours after our departure, the land grew very faint in the horizon and soon faded away altogether. It was good-bye to the United States, to our native land. A very peculiar sensation, to be outside of our country! Almost as peculiar as was the feeling that we were so far away from terra lirmag and many were already looking on ahead to see if the blue coasts of Scotland were not in sight. So far we enjoyed the trip at sea, fwe had not yet had supperl. If I were to mention any annoyance at all, it probably would be the over- crowded condition of the decks. We did not travel first class! And as we did not enjoy very much, being on the deck in the class in which we did travel, fmodesty forbids our naming itll we sought out a retreat from the multitude. This was found in the stern of the boat. What a delightful place it was! So free from disturbance by the crowds. We made ourselves thoroughly at home there and fancied that our trip across the water would be a real pleasure because we had so much room all to ourselves. I wondered how'I happened to be so fortunate as to discover this much to be desired retreat. It was so nice to be there alone. Ere long, however, I began to feel somewhat uneasy, it appeared to me that I did not possess my usual good health any more. I did not have a headache exactly, nor any other special kind of an ache, and yet I did not feel as well as I usually do. I decided to go back to the rest of the company and confide in some of them my great discovery and get some relief, if possible, from the dizziness which now began to annoy me exceedingly. No sooner had I met with my friends, than I was censured for going way out on the stern of the boat where the pitching of the vessel was enough to make even an old sea-dog sea-sick. Although the rules governing the distribution of the three classes on the boat are usually very strictly enforced, I learned that an exception had been made to the members of the band on this trip and that permission had been given them to go about the ship wherever they pleased. Already on the sec- ond day therefore, they had established a gathering place on the first cabin deck near the middle of the boat, where a bench or two and a couple of chairs had 101 been placedg and here most of their time was spent for ten long days. From early morn till late at night we sat there, sometimes conversing with one another, sometimes reading, but most of the time gazing out over the immense Wastes of water, wrapped in meditation and reflection. One certainly has abundant opportunity to exercise the imagination on a trip of this kindg for, the easiest thing to do is to engage in day-dreaming. A sea-voyage is far different from a journey on land. When you ride on the train the scene is constantly shifting, there is something new to look at, every minute of the day and you have very little time to reflect on what you see before the scene is changed. But on the ocean the prospect is always about the same, and whenever anything new does come into View as for instance a sail, an ocean-liner or an iceberg, you have plenty of time to sit down and think it all over carefully, before the next change in the scene arrives. A favorite pastime for us all was to watch for some sign of the creatures that dwell within these dark waters. To see a whale disporting its huge bulk, or spouting a jet of water into the air was the ambition of all. I remember, as we sat there one day the cry was heard from the other side of the boat, Whale! Whale! Immediately all were on their feet and rushed pell- mell to the railing on 'the other side, each one striving for a place from which to get a good view. To think that a real, live whale was out there near enough to be seen! But, he had disappeared, so that we were not quite so fortunate in seeing him as was the one who had issued the cry. After gazing about the expanse for some time, we were again startled by the same cry, this time on the other side of the boat. Again all rushed for the opposite railing. Somehow, the whale had moved around to the other side of the boatg but had again mys- teriously disappeared before our arrival. When the cry was heard for the third time, and this time again from the other side, we at first thought that the boat had run into the midst of a whole family of themg but it also occurred to us that possibly the fun, for some one, was not so much in seeing the whale as in seeing the others look for it. So we resumed our seat on the bench and re- flected some more. To be sea-sick is something that I should advise all who contemplate a sea voyage to avoid if possible. It is not at all essential to a full and complete en- joyment of a trip across the sea. In my own case, since this was my first trip. I of course decided that I must take in everything. But I was sorry afterwards 102 that I had permitted myself to be hood-winked into becoming sea-sick. Not that I suffered any very great physical discomfiture from the thing itself, but to be sea-sick and to know that everybody else knows it is a very unpleasant situation to be in. I felt that I was the observed of all observers. I could read their thoughts very plainly. I-Ie's got it too now! Presence of mind is worth a good deal under such circumstances. To be able, for instance, to cal- culate rapidly the shortest route between two points, sometimes quite remotely separated on the ship, is often of considerable value. Judging, however, from what I actually saw, this presence of mind is a very rare quality in people who travel by sea. Fortunately for me my acquaintance with this sea ailment was of comparatively short duration and ceased at the end of the fourth day out. I was not much the worse off for the experience I had had. One morning as we came on deck we heard that land was in sight. F ar away but straight ahead of us, a black spot appeared on the horizon. Not much to get excited about you may think, but a most welcome sight to every one on board, for it told us that we had now crossed the Atlantic. Gradually as we drew nearer, the black speck took on the form of a huge rock, above the surface of the water. And then another and still another appeared far away beyond the first. We found out later that these were the islands known as the Seven I-lunters, lying to the northwest of Scotland. Un the largest of them is a huge light-house-the first indication of life on the other side. Although we gazed long at these islands-silent monsters in the deep-we still had plenty of time left for reflection. We reflected especially on the life of the light-house keeper, who lives here the year around, on this rock perhaps five acres in extent, so barren that not a blade of grass could be seen. We decided that although we sometimes feel as though our position is not what we would like to have it, yet we would not exchange with this man, in spite of the fact that he is effectively removed from the things in our life that annoy us. -S. 103 ACCEPTED PLAN FOR THE NEW LADIES' HALL J L7 r xxx X li 'if L7 ' V1 'li' A ' M Lfg7'JJL?f 9A bv ff . f iii, im W u X91 X P2Kvil A , M .f V H? ,mill t Vai I-, !f ww X kv Q xi v A , 44 JE hm WWI?

This year marks the sixth victory out of nine contests. The fact that we were awarded the first three places this year clearly demonstrates the fact that our victories are not clue solely to the superior ability of certain individuals, but that by diligent class and society work the standard of the whole school is rising in literary ability.

Grouseth Faculty of Music PROF. F. MELIUS CHRISTIANSEN. It is entirely superlluous to say anything concerning Prof. F. Melius Christiansen as he is already well known to St. Qlaf students. His name has come to stand as a synonym for music at St. Olaf College. During the years that Prof. Christiansen has been with us he has raised the standard of music at this place to a position that commands respect. We are glad to welcome him among us after a year's absence in Germany. While there he gave especial attention to the study of chorals,', with the purpose of rewriting them so as to render them more suitable for chorus singing. Prof. Christiansen has in this way rendered a great service to the church, for the chorals in present use are more suited for the organ than for chorus singing. While in Germany he re- wrote about seventy and has been continuing the work ever since. Besides this Prof. Christiansen has also been composing some songs for chorus use of which may be mentioned, Som Sol gaar ned i I-lavet, Ud, Ucl! and Aa eg veit meg eit Land. 128 MISS HELGA OLSEN. St. Olaf College has been most fortunate in securing Miss Helga Olsen as the head of the piano department. Miss Olsen is a pianist of recognized ability and has a high reputation in the music circles of the twin cities, where musicians of ability are numerous. She is also undoubtedly well known to every music-loving Norwegian in the Northwest. Miss Olsen pursued her first years of study at the Northwestern Conserva- tory of Minneapolis, where she graduated receiving the gold medal. She then studied with Rudolph Ganz, the celebrated pianist in Chicago, and afterwards spent one year with Walter Petzet at the Scharwenka Conservatory in New York. She went abroad and completed her studies at the Scharwenka Con- servatory in Berlin, where she studied two years as the private pupil of Dr. Ernest Jedliczka. All her teachers have presented her with excellent testimon- ials. For the last eight years she has been teaching in Minneapolis. She has for several years been a frequent and favorite performer at the public gather- ings of the Ladies' Thursday Musicale, which is one of the most exclusive musical clubs of the Northwest. PROF. OSCAR A. GRONSETI-I. As the head of the vocal department St. Olaf has this year secured Prof. Oscar A. Cmronseth. Although having been here but a short time he has al- ready won the hearts of the students. Prof. Clriinseth was born in Jarlsberg, Norway, and came to this country with his parents in ISS7. I-le first began the training of his voice while attend- ing the Normal School at Valparaiso, Ind. Later he entered Augsburg Sem- inary and became a member of the quartette which toured Norway in l895. After returning to this country he studied vocal music with L. Lamers of Duluth and Madam Olund of St. Paul. l-le next spent two years at the Conserva- tory of Music in Chicago, and then completed his studies in New York under the most eminent of teachers of that city. Prof. Crijnseth has for many years been a member of several first class organizations. l-le has also conducted cantatas, operettas, and singing con- ventions. A year ago he opened a studio of voice culture in Duluth. Last fall he was called to take charge of the vocal department of St. Olaf College. 129 Music Students OFFICERS. President, BERTHA ROE.

OLAF COLLEGE BAND. The band is this year as prosperous as it ever has been. Despite the fact that it lost several good players after the tour to Norway, it has now worked itself up under the able leadership of Prof. F. lVl. Christiansen so that it now even rivals the Band that toured Norway. Several good players have been added from the second band and the new students that entered last fall. This year there are better players on the inner parts of the band. The boys are fortunate in having Prof. Christiansen back with them again, who was absent a year, studying in Germany. During the latter part of the holidays the Band made its fourth annual tour. They gave in all fifteen concerts and the tour embraced considerable territory. Some of the cities visited were La Crosse, lVlenomonie, Willmai', Moorhead, Fargo, Fergus Falls, Minneapolis, and Red Wing. Large audiences were present at almost every concert, and the tour proved a success in every respect. The Band was ably assisted by Prof. Oscar Gron- seth, who was enthusiastically encored at every concert. Such a Hrst class organization is of inestimable benefit to an institution. It raises the standard of music and is an important factor in cultivating a taste for good music among the students, not to forget the great value to the members themselves who here receive a good training in music, practically free of charge and obtain a wonderful degree of skill in playing their instruments. There is also a second brand under the leadership of Mr. O. I. Herts- gaard. l-lere the beginners receive instruction in the fundamentals of music, and when they have acquired a certain degree of proficiency in handling their instruments they are advanced to the Hrst band. TI-IE CI-IORAL UNION. The Choral Union has swung itself into eminence not only at St. Olaf, but also among the people of the United Church. ln the spring when the music festivals are held, and an oratorio is sung by a hundred and fifty voices or more, hundreds of people come from the different congregations to listen to this rare treat of musical masterpieces. During the past years several oratorios and can- tatas have been given, until it now seems to have become an established rule to 133 THE ST. OLAF COLLEGE BAND give one every year. Last year they sang lVlendelssohn's Elijah under the direction of Mrs. Edward Schmidt. A new feature in the line of church music was introduced last spring. Shortly before commencement Prof. Christiansen drilled the Choral Union in several Koraler which he had arranged. At the annual meeting they sang these at a concert frtly called a Sanggudstjeneste. The Koraler were inter- spersed with appropriate talks by President Kildahl. It is to be hoped that this may become a permanent feature at our music festivals. In the fall of 1907 they learned three of Prof. Christiansen's composi- tions, two of which they sang on the 6th of November. Besides these they also learned some of the Norwegian national songs. No country has more beautiful or a richer supply of national and folk songs than Norway. And it is fitting that We as Norwegian-Americans should learn some of these national songs. After New Year's they gave a concert consisting of religious and secular num- bers. The Choral Union is now preparing the SL Paulf' which they hope to render, probably together with a Sanggudstjeneste,,' in the latter part of the spring term. TI-IE COLLEGE GLEEI' A new organization that is rapidly gaining popularity, especially among the boys, is the College Cleef' This club was organized in the beginning of the winter term of 1907. The two men who were foremost in launching this new glee, were Alfred Forness and Alfred O. Anderson. Originally the pur- pose was only to learn to sing the good old college songs and glees for mutual pleasure. Afterwards as better singers joined and the interest seemed to grow a two-fold purpose was the result, namely,-UD to cultivate familiarity with college songs, and Q25 to form the foundation for a future St. Qlaf Glee Club. The boys are showing great interest for this organization and are practic- ing regularly three times a week. It is their intention to give a comic program some time in the spring term, thereby dispersing the dullness that is too apt to creep into our society programs. There are at present twenty-live members, and the membership is open to all. 135 'COLLEGE GLEE , Back Row-Alfred O. Anderson, Director, H. Rovelstad, B, J. Loftsgaard. T. Rovelstad. T. E. Rudd, C. S.

OCTET, '09, Une Saturday evening after society meetings, in the fall of l905, some of the hoys of the Freshman class came together and organized an octet. Mr. Jiirgen Thompson was elected director and Mr. Lucas Engelstad manager. After practicing diligently for some time the boys appeared in public for the first time at the annual program of the Edda Literary Society. Afterward they appeared quite often on programs at various other occasions. In the fall of 1906 the octet took a short trip to Blooming Prairie and Ellendale and gave two concerts there. ,The boys felt well satisfied with their tour and proposed making another that year. Circumstances, however, prevent- ed them from doing so. Still they continued to practice and sang on different college programs. This year, however, through the zealous efforts of Mr. Engelstad, the octet was enabled to make a longer tour during the holidays. ln the fall term the boys worked up a good program and, during the first week of the holidays, they gave a series of concerts in Yellow Medicine and Lac qui Parle counties. 137 Mr. Olaf Gunderson, of the class of 1909, accompanied the octet as violinist and Mr. Joseph Tetlie, of the octet, assisted as saxophone soloist. The boys were royally entertained by the hospitable Norwegians and at almost every place they were favored with large audiences, so that they felt well repaid for their Work. If the octet continues next year, the class of l909 will have the honor of being the only class that has had a singing organization through its college course. Such an organization is a pleasure both to the class and school, and the pleasant hours spent together in practicing will undoubtedly be long remem- bered by the boys.- ST. OLAF COLLEGE ORCHESTRA. A One organization, which there has been some difficulty in maintaining at this institution, is an orchestra. But one has now been started under the direc- tion of Prof. A. I-lolvik, and we hope that it has come to stay. There are at present twenty-four members with the prospect of getting still more. There are nine violins, but string instruments, such as violas, cellos, and contrabassos, are in great demand. The object of the members is to come together, not only for then pleasure of playing, but for the study of the better class of music, such as overtures, classics, etc. The orchestra offers to violin pupils a valuable opportunity for practical training while pursuing their studies. An orchestra may seem some- what needless here at school, where we have a first class band and numerous other musical organizations, but as long as we have a violin department it will be of great value to the violin students. It is our hope that in the future the orchestra may become large enough and able enough to play the orchestra score of the oratorios which are sung by the Choral Union. 138 SAXOPHONE QUARTETTE SECOND BAND 139 EVEN A FACULTY MAY GO TO EXTREMES 140 oRGAN1zAT1oNs lsfinl TI-IE DEBATING ASSGCIATION. The St. Olaf College Debating Association is composed of members of the Alpha Beta Chi, Gamma Delta, and Alpha Kappa Literary Societies. This association has had charge of the intercollegiate debates. Last year it was found advisable to adopt a new sys- tem of control, and as a result a debating board was formed. This board, consisting of two members of the faculty and two from each of the literary societies, has full control of all mat- ters pertaining to this activity. Up to the present time we have had but one debate a year, with Gustavus Adolphus College. ln these contests we have been very successful. The contests have been of good quality and also at times close. Last year our team was again victori- ous over Gustavus Adolphus in the contest held at St. Peter. Debating is becoming quite a well established accomplishment here, and we feel confident of victory this year also. Another feature of the association has been added this year. This is the inter-society debates. The Class of '07 presented a silver cup, which the three societies are to compete for. The society winning two debates will be entitled to hold the cup for one year. This feature will un- doubtedly prove an excellent incentive to the society members, as it will not only further arouse the interest in debating, but also give more members the opportunity to enter into con- tests . 141 S, O. LUND. M. LARSON. T R DAHL TI-IE MANITOU MESSENGER. The M aniiou Messenger is the name of our college journal. It is Tm published by the students, once l j l each month of the school year. i amtou essengeri The Messenger is divided ieee de- A A.-eA V- A partments, which contain reviews i Q3 of the work accomplished in the , Vi various student activities as, ath- ' '5 letics, literary, and debating soci- eties, and the general local hap- penings. The editorial depart- ment is worthy of special mention, because the articles presented there are not only interesting, but also very instructive. There we are reminded of such existing condi- tions as may not be wholly A favorable to us. Suggestions for improvement are offered, and these induce us to take definite measures to alter them. The literary department is The M essengefs chief feature, and contains the best orations, stories, essays, and poems written by the students. The exchange department is also very interesting. There are found some of the best extracts from other college publications, as well as suggestive criticisms. The news from the United Church Seminary is also briefly noted. The Alum- ni and the St. Olaf Association each have their columns where notes concern- ing their members are found, and thus this organ serves as a means of informa- tion to them. We may justly feel proud of The M essenger, and we merely quote the exchanges when we say that it is one of the best college journals in the Northwest. - A e- .

Carleton, Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline, Macalester, and St. Olaf are the colleges forming the so-called Minnesota Inter-collegiate Association. The feature of this association is the annual oratorical contest, which is a preliminary one, for choosing a representative to the inter-state contest. As a member of this inter-collegiate association, the local organization, which consists of the students in the college department, controls its share of the arrangements, and chooses an orator as its representative. The Ware Oratorical Contest is another feature of oratory at St. Olaf. This contest is made possible through the kind- ness of l-lon. A. K. Ware. I-le offers two prizes annually, to be contested for by an agreed upon number of orators from the Senior classes of Carleton and St. Olaf colleges. These annual contests are considered among the most im- portant events on the college schedule of student activities. On these occasions, the interest and enthusiasm of the students is aroused to a high degree, and the college spirit becomes quite demongtrative. Our orators have always worked hard, and we have appreciated very much the success they have met with, in both the inter-collegiate and the Ware contests. It is to be hoped and is expect- ed that we can continue with as great success in the future as we have had in the past. Much is then dependent on the local preliminary contests. Cf late, there have not been as many contestants in these as would be desirable. Possibly this is not wholly due to lack of interest, but undoubtedly it is to some extent, and must be guarded against. If we can elevate the standardof our prelimin- ary contests by having a larger number enter them, we shall have made a good advance, and with more confidence we shall be able to look for the desired re- sults in the future. TI-IE HSOCIETAS LATINAHAND TI-IE CLASSICAL CLUB. The need of organizations, such as the Societas Latinan and the Classi- cal Club, is very much felt among the students pursuing the classical course. The real appreciation of what is studied is not always to be had merely in the class room, because a greater part of the time spent in the preparation of the lessons, must be given to the mastering of forms and constructions. This is especially true of the lirst years of study in classical languages. 143 ln order to increase the interest in the classics, and to give opportunity to pay special attention to the art and beauty which characterize them, the So- cietas Latina gives one quite elaborate program each term of the school year. The programs consist of papers treating of the history and various characteris- tics of the Latin writers, and their productions. Translations of famous Latin passages, criticisms, and dialogues from dramas are also rendered. English,-German, Norwegian, Latin, Greek History and Art are the vari- ous branches discussed in the programs of the Classical Club. The profes- sors teaching these studies, control in turn a program, which then consists of numbers dealing in various ways with the subjects taught in their departments. During the last year the meetings were somewhat irregular. This year, how- ever, both organizations have reorganized and hope to be able to continue as active societies. W TI-IE SCIENCE CLUB. This society, formed shortly after the establishment of the scientific course at St. Olaf, aimed to include the students and teachers of that department. Its name signifies its scope. It is pre-eminently scientific in nature, endeavoring to inform the student on special topics and on new discoveries in the field of sci- ence. This part of the work has been carried on by means of illustrated lec- tures, papers, and reports on original investigations. General discussion of the topics treated is encouraged, and this in connection with the social nature which the meetings often assume, after the scientific part of the program is finished, fulfills the assumption made in calling it a club.', Since the Science Club was organized, many other new societies and activities have been begun so that the interest has become somewhat divided, but it is hoped that the work of this club will be carried on with increased interest and enthusiasm. TI-IE PROHIBITION LEAGUE.. Among the many evils existing today, the liquor traffic faces us as one of the most important. ln order further to arouse the interest of the students, and to call their attention to this fact, a Prohibition League has been organized at the college. As a means employed by the League to accomplish these pur- poses, regular programs are given, which consist of orations, speeches, essays, and debates, all bearing on the liquor question. Oratorical contests between 144 representatives from Prohibition Leagues of other colleges in the state are held annually, to choose a speaker for the inter-state contests. This serves as another means of arousing and keeping up interest in the work. The League at St. Olaf has regularly taken part in these contests, and our orators have always done creditable work. Two years ago our representative received first place in the inter-collegiate and third place in the inter-state contest. TI-IE LUTHER LEAGUE. The St. Olaf Luther League holds regular meetings in the college chapel every Sunday evening. In many respects this organization has, during the last few years, made remarkable progress. The majority of our students show much interest in the Luther League movement, and it is very encouraging to see how well the meetings are attended. The programs arranged are very interesting as well as instructive. The so-called Luther League Topics are used and the texts and passages from the Scripture suggested in these, are chosen as subjects for papers and speeches. Appropriate music is also regularly provided which is favorably received, and adds to the attractiveness of the programs. Our local Luther League is also a member of the State League and delegates are sent to the conventions held, and thus an opportunity is offered to obtain in- formation concerning the other Luther League organizations and their progress. This work among the young people serves as a means of uniting them more effectively in the interests of church work. As the Luther League movement is carried on chiefly by young people, and as its purpose is a religious one, it deserves the support of all the students. PRAYER MEETING. In order that the students may come together to study the word of God, and offer prayer, one hour of every Thursday evening has been put aside. The Prayer Meeting, as it is called, is wholly of a devotional nature, and is con- ducted informally. Originally, there was also a Mission Society at the college, but it was found advisable to join this with the Prayer Meeting. On the last Thursday of each month a special program is arranged at which the work car- ried on by our missionaries in the different countries, is presented, and papers are read, discussing the mission work in general. 145 s 5, , X . . , RW x f i' . . fy' I , is ff Nu Q JW E Z X g 0 X X I l . 5 Taba 3?-,f -lg? ....,..:m- K ,417 Q - ' www zwwfff - N' ? 5 5' K J Q X 3, , , .Li ml ATHLETICS. Athletics at St. Olaf as one of our col- lege activities has of late been decidedly in the ascendant. When we consider the excellent health and extreme hardihood of the individual student generally represent- ed here, it is lamentable that the past has seen so little done for the development of athletic activity. The future, however, is promising to place our college in the front ranks of pennant winners. Last spring, the young men recognizing the necessity of a well-directed management in ath- letics, decided to pay for the maintenance of an athletic director, to be hired by the school. Last fall such a man was secured in the person of Prof. Irving Noakes, who is now a member of the faculty as director and instructor of athletics. Prof. Noakes has had a great deal of experience in all branches of athletics, both as player and l referee. His duty lies in coaching the dif- ferent teams and directing classes in gym- nastics. Every class, both academic and collegiate, is given two hours of gym- nasium work per week during the cold season. Under his supervision the Hgymu has been repaired and equipped so that we may now boast of having a gym that is first-class in every respect. It is possible to give every student an opportunity to partake in any and all forms of exercise, from the swinging of lndian clubs to the heavy siege of a two mile run, while at the same time he has the assurance of being kept under restraints that will make his performances beneficial to mind and body alike. PROP. IRVING E. NOAKES 148 'U BASEBALL x .VV Baseball is no longer the only sport of conse- quence at St. Olafg but in spite of the rapid growth of the other sports we are prone to save our lustiest cheers for the baseball games. Last year it was fear- ed that the interest for baseball would lag somewhat, as the old conference was broken up. But the old irresistible enthusiasm was ablaze at the first practice game, played before the frost had left the ground. The unusually late spring made the season short, but between Captain Gunderson and Manager Fardal, E. E. HANSON, MANAGER a team was rounded out which won six of the nine scheduled games that were played. The I 7th of May game with Luther College was the game of the season. This was M. PS as fine an exhibition of baseball as has been seen here for P .pny i'il-- if many years. l-lere Tetlie's steady, deliberate pitching, to- ,K+ if f gether with the brilliant playing of the team in general gave I --' us a clean victory, by a score of four to three. The game l . was repeated at Decorah and even more desperately contest- ed than on the former occasion, but the victory went to Luth- , . I 45, ' er by a score of two to one. To develop a team for the com- ing season that can duplicate these two performances is the object toward which the captain directs his utmost endeavor. x Our new material is almost unlimited and some of the new candidates have shown up well, but the gap left by those who graduated last spring can hardly be closed in one season. When the campus is completed we shall have two or three i . Q diamonds on which the minor teams will compete for suprem- K acy. The fact that we have had but one field has discour- J aged the work of the second team greatly, not to mention My class teams. Last spring only two class games were played Q' - 149 .1 y- X is and the second team played but one game against a visiting team. The sec- ond team was strong and played good ball when playing at other places, but on their own diamond they played poorly, which was due no doubt to the lack of interest and support of the student body. But this season will see a great change in the methods of conducting the secondary teams. An inter-class league will be formed similar to last winter's basket ball inter-class league, which will bring out about one hundred players. When eight class teams be- gin the race for first place a lively interest will be created. Within the last four or five years we have played against 1 several college teams that were largely composed of profes- W? shape for securing the championship. This system is very un- fair to the players that are displaced as well as to those teams having only students in their ranks. From our point of view there can be no satisfaction in winning a championship unless every man on the team is a legitimate player. Conference rules have done much towards excluding professionalism and we hope that we may play under a conference again in the near future. The following schedule gives the score and the pitchers of every game played during the season of '07. SCHEDULE, '07, sionals. The object of employing professionals is evidently to H11 up weak places in the team so that such teams will be in ,L SCORES. PITCHERS. St. Olaf ......

Until last year our opportunities to develop men for field and track were far from encouraging. We had neither coach nor track and in many instances the team would trot down to the Carleton field three or four times a week to get the practice necessary to enter some coming contest. Conditions, however, have changed to such an extent that we could scarcely be given better opportunities outside of a university. Our campus has been converted from a grass-grown lot to a hard level field on which an excellent quarter mile track has been constructed. The sight of the field is in itself enough to inspire the new student with a determination to associate his name with such physical performances that his renown shall go down in the history of his alma maier to the end of time. Add to this the sight of four score lusty lads, clad in their abbreviated white uniforms, at practice on this little open spot between the groves of mapleg what greater inducement does he need to enter as one of them? During the winter the flame of his ambition is not allowed to flicker out. l-le must attend his ugymi' classes, and if physically active he will probably be a member of his class basket ball team, being at all times under the eye of an experienced coach. When we therefore consider what an excellent showing our small teams of former years have given with their slight opportunities, we look to future teams for nothing less than a pennant every spring. Capt. A. 0. Anderson has exerted untold influence on field and track candidates by enforcing discipline, marshaling them out to practice regularly, and infusing in them his own enthusiasm. Coming as he does from the Univer- sity of Chicago, where he has been an active member of winning teams, he has awakened much interest among the students by putting into execution many methods and stunts that were new to most of us. Last year work was begun during the winter. The team had its regular practice in the Hgymi' until the weather permitted it to be carried on in the open. This practice was stimulated greatly by organizing class teams, and an inter- class track meet was held in the gym during the early spring, as a prelude to an inter-class field and track meet held on the campus late in the season. 152 The result of such an effort was clearly demonstrated in the dual meet with Hamline University on May 27th. The result of the meet was 87 points for l-lamline and 44 for St. Olaf. f-lowever, considering the inexperience of the team, the showing made was surprising. l-lamline has - had a strong team for years, and most of her men were ex-A 'H fsr perienced and well trained, while the greater number of our men had never before seen a contest of this kind. Knut ,, r V Christenson was of course our Hbanner man, considering X if the number of points secured. l-le won first place in three sf! events, viz.: hammer, shot, and discus, thus netting fifteen points. Although he held the state championship on the hammer before, he broke the record for the third time, throwing the sixteen pound hammer l28 feet, 4 inches. l. Bjorlee came next with eight points, winning first place in the 220 yard dash and second in the l 00 yard dash. This was indeed a surprise to most of us as he was a new man on the a all track. Captain Anderson and l-l. Dieson secured six points each. ln the half mile run Andy trotted in ahead of Ham- : line's champion, Nickerson, who was the holder of the confer- .bif , , ence record in this event. ln the two mile run the three win- A ners finished in a bunch, Andy being third. Dieson was not in his best condition, but secured first place in the l00 yard dash, and third in the 440 yard dash. A. B. Peterson came a close second in the broad jumpg each by receiving third places: High jump, I-I. Glenn, 220 yard hurdles, 0. lVl. l-lofstadg l20 yard hurdles, F. Magnus, . ,, E. R. Anderson third, netting four points. The following secured one point pole vault, H. Fatland. 'ti 2 ' fl I ay ..,. , A .,2 . . The results of this meet disclosed the fact that the team was far superior to what it was considered to be and the boys took new courage in practicing for the meet which was to be held later with 'i 2 Carleton. We are sorry to say, however, that we were not per- mitted to meet Carleton. At the time appointed for the contest the Carleton team did not appear on the field, thus forfeiting the meet. It was the first time that our field and track team had been on an equal footing with Carleton's and the disappointment of not having an opportunity to demonstrate the fact was keenly felt by our boys. 153 'B We feel that the old difficulty of arousing interest in field and track work is a thing of the past. Captain Anderson counts on bringing out a himdred candidates this spring, and judging from the number of students that took part in the cross-country runs last fall, he will not be disappointed. From twenty- five to one hundred of the boys would get out in their uniforms with AndyH or Prof. Noakes in the lead and hump it over fences and turnpikes for an hour every evening. These runs were kept up until the weather became bit- ingly cold when gym work and basket ball were substituted. All the old team members are here with the exception of Dieson, and their newly gained experience, coupled with all the new material on hand, will make a team that we hope can cope successfully with any college team in the state. The con- tests that will be held here this spring, both inter-class and inter-collegiate, will be of a higher standard than any that have been held here in the past seasons, owing chiefly to the careful training that has been given in the gym during the winter. ln former years new students have been somewhat prejudiced against donning, the gymnasium uniforms, but if perchance they have been per- suaded to try it once, no difficulty has been met with in getting them to the gym the second time. To those who are not acquainted with the facts, it might seem plausible that the lively interest taken in athletics would be at the expense of the class workg but we find that the converse is true. Members of any team must have a good class standing and maintain it throughout the season. A new candidate, therefore, looks to his books and class work as a first requisite of eligibility. This, coupled with the keen nerves and well regulated system which hearty exercise in the pure air always gives, produces a student that leaves college, at the end of his course, a man with strong body and vigorous intellect. These are of course the greatest benefits, but aside from these, the life of the student would be a burden if there were no games or contests to look forward to, either as spectator or participant. Every game played in our Hgymn or on the cam- pus is characterized by clean, healthy playing throughout, and is always of a high standard, is usually closely contested, and is a tonic to everyone who loves to see practiced skill and well trained flexible muscle in action. , . 154 B. j, Loftsgaard A.

Q Practice was begun last October with Prof. Noakes as coach. l-lis object was to develop scientific team work on signals and swift ' - - - - sc as passing, eliminating as far as possible all forms of grand stand play- s ing, and the result of constant practice with an able coach has placed ii our team in the lead. Five games have been played with college teams - of this state with but one defeat, and two games were played with Luther College of lowa of which we lost one. The real strength of our team was revealed when we played Luther on F eb. 22. Our men were greatly outweighed and it was evident that if we were to win, it could only be on clever, scientific playing. Our boys started the game with a whirl of intricate passes that put us in the lead from the very beginning and the opposing team was unable to bridge the gap. The beginning of 4 the second half was by far the most spectacular part of the game, our 4' Q boys passed and repassed the ball with such rapidity and accuracy that ' lf the opposing team was for a while at an entire loss to know how to stop the basket shooting and before they could stem the tide, we were four- ii teen points in the lead. We use the Luther College team for com- parison with our own because it is in all probability the strongest college 45, L team of lowa, and besides this we play Luther as when Greek meets Creek. The schedule given below for '07-'08 includes all the games played, al- though the two games with Luther and the Y. lVl. C. A. game are not consid- ered when determining the Minnesota college championship. SCHEDULE. St. P. Y. M. C. A .... ..... 4 o St. Olaf 38 Luther College .. H62 St. Olaf 23 U. M. Aggies ........ ....

Roe lxl INTERCLASS MEET lxl The inter-class field and track meet heldilast spring was the first one of its kind ever attempted at St. Olaf. Captain Anderson was early aware of the fact that candidates for field and track work needed some stronger incentives than that of making the regular team which might take part in an inter-collegi- ate meet or might not. Accordingly plans were laid for an inter-class meet. This movement met with universal approval at once, and the impetus it gave to the candidates was phenomenal. For nearly every class, both academic and collegiate, was found to have a goodly number of athletes. The meet itself was hotly contested, three of the classes being pretty even- ly represented, viz.: Third Class C09 academyl, Sophomore C09 collegej and Junior C08 collegel. The class ,O9 won, however, winning thirty-five points of the one hundred and twenty-five. The object of the meet, namely, to stimulate interest in field and track work, was so well realized, that it is the intention of Captain Anderson to have such a meet again this spring, and it is to he hoped that the future will see such a meet here every spring. The following table shows the result of the meet. First place, counts 5 points, second place, 3.pointsg and third place, l point.

Glaruin TENNIS. g Tennis enthusiasts are bringing this much neglected sport to a prominent place among our athletic activities. The courts have been reconstructed, and new ones added, until now we have six in all. But even this number seems to be insufficient to meet the wants of the clamoring players. Last spring our team was scheduled to play two tournaments, one each with Carleton and Shattuck. The tournament with Carleton proved our men to be somewhat weak on team work, and it was an easy victory for Carleton. But later in the season when we played Shattuck, the result of careful training had so far overcome this defect, as to leave the cadets the victors by the narrow margin of a match of doubles which was played in order to pull off the tie. 160 , -'WW l I New U- c- Schools SPOKANE COLLEGE. One of the most prosperous and rapidly , developing parts of our country is the region ' popularly known as the Hlnland Empiref' em- A bracing Eastern Washington and surrounding country. The United Church saw the need of a Christian college in this section and the splen- did opportunities offered there, and promised its moral and financial aid for the establishment and maintenance of such an institution. Inter- ested men from Washington, Idaho, and Mon- tana met in Spokane Aug. 9, l905, and form- ed a corporation, known as Spokane College. The location chosen for the college was Spokane, a very fortunate choice. This city has enjoyed a marvelous growth. Though founded in 1878 it already has about one hun- dred thousand inhabitants. It is the commer- DR' P' M' GLASOE cial and industrial center of the Inland Em- pire. Spokane Chamber of Commerce offered to secure five thousand dollars and a building site for the college. Great interest was taken by the people of the surrounding country, and in 1907 a beautiful main building was erected. The college grounds are located in the southern part of the city on an eminence known as Manito Park.. The college building was dedicated by President J. N. Kildahl Uct. 6, 1907 , and Dr. P. M. Cllasoe was installed as president of the institution. Spokane College has eight departments. The college department has two courses leading to the B. A. or B. S. degree. This year only the F resh- man and Sophomore subjects are offered. The law school has a three year course leading to the degree of B. L. The academy has four courses and a 161 . HEQQY . 31 5- two years surveyor's course. There is considerable latitude given in the choice of lectures. The courses offered are the classical, scientific, manual arts, domes- tic science, art, and surveying. The normal school prepares teachers for the common and parochial schools. The school of commerce gives a thorough training in the business branches. The school of music and art embraces courses in vocal and instrumental music, drawing, and painting. There is a prepara- tory department for those who are deficient in the common branches. The night school offers work in all departments of the institution. Thus the col- lege is as fully prepared as a college can be to fulfill its aim, which is to train young men and Women for the duties and privileges-of life. The college is so conducted that a constant Christian influence surrounds the students and pro- motes in them personal Christian life. Perhaps no college has ever entered upon its first year with a stronger corps of instructors than is possessed by Spokane College. Twenty-five teach- ers are engaged in instructing the young men and Women. Several familiar names appear on the list of teachers. Dr. P. M. Glasoe is professor of physics 162 and chemistryg B. F. Westmore, member of the faculty of St. Qlaf College l903-04, is professor of Englishg lVl. l-l. Wickman is instructor in manual training. Another former St. Olaf teacher, A. S. Ryland, is a member of the board of trustees of the institution. The school year is divided into two semesters of two terms each. During the first term, 1907, there were one hundred fifty-Hve students, which promises well for the future. The students are extremely enterprising in student activities and organiza- tions. A neat little college paper, The Aromaz, is published every month of the year. On the board of editors we find three St. Olaf ex-students. An athletic association has control of all athletic activities. And these are varied. The boys organized a football team shortly after school opened last fall. Plans are on foot to organize basket ball teams, both among the girls and boysg base- ball, handball, and tennis teams have already been organized. Several musical organizations are also llourishing. A choral society of more than lifty mem- bers and a college orchestra of twelve pieces are both directed by Rev. C. S. Thompson. A ladies quartette has also been organized. It is a curious coinci- dence that the first literary' society should be called Manito. The students and teachers have an organization called The Spokane College Christian As- sociationf' 163 EVERETT CCLLEGE. ln Western Washington we find the youngest of our United Church Schools. The Pacific College Association decided on the beautiful and thriv- ing city of Everett as the location of this institution. This city is situated in Snohomish valley, north of Seattle. The city is fourteen years old, yet has a population of more than twelve thousand and is the commercial and industrial center of the surrounding country. The college grounds remind one much of Manitou l-leights. They con- sist of ten acres of choice land lying above the city and overlooking the bay. To the west are also the snow-capped Olympic mountains, most beautiful in the summer. On the north is the water-front of Everett and the white giant, lVlt. Baker. Northeast and east we have at our feet the city of Everett and a little beyond the noted Snohomish valley, to the west of which is the Snohomish river, winding in a half circle around the city and emptying into the bay. To the eastward we see the Cascade mountains, the base of which slopes down into the valley. ln short the scenery is so grand that one can be completely carried away. The city of Everett donated eight thousand dollars and some land to the college, provided a certain sum could be collected by the association within a specified time. This was not quite accomplished and conditions looked dark., But the city gave the promised aid, and the delay had its bright side, for now materials and labor were cheaper. Large sums have been collected by the solicitor, Mr. F. S. Tronsdal in the East and Rev. B. Sand on the Pacific coast. A beautiful forty thousand dollar building is now in the course of con- struction. The college will begin its first school year in the fall of l908. Courses have not been decided upon nor teachers selected as yet. Rev. C. Reinert- son is president of the board of trustees and Bernhard Wold secretary. The association will endeavor to make Everett College a second St. Olaf. 164 SWR A 6 . 44:1 1. .- .3 ff . ,V w ll Mgr .f,, , ff--i f -f nr.: fall' A. N - 'N H W .gi I in W xr H1 355 1, I ' IL J W' .

They have , ou n I . . -'Liang-L'-:fn Tour cut short their vacation and come back early to take part in the Fourth Annual Concert Tourf, With Prof. Christiansen wielding the baton, Prof. Cxronseth doing the prima donna act, and Prof. Schmidt looking after the business end of it, there is no reason, if we do our part, why the tour should not be a success. HOTEL LAW, LACROSSE, WIS., DECEMBER 31. pR0F,0sc1'S'i'.L'2,,,5NsETH A After shining our horns, brushing our uni- IIIYYUII -,i1 ,3ggfiwn-w'w W forms, and eating an early supper, we boarded our special car at Northfield with memories from the beginning of the Norway Tour strong upon us. Everybody was feeling fine. Prof. Gronseth, however, was heard to deplore the fact that he had no uni- form. Church bells, steam whistles, and Jess Saugstad welcomed us to this city as we pulled in at I2 o'clock, midnight. A IBID, JANUARY I. After contending for some time with the hotel clerks and porters we were allowed to retire in the early hours of 1908. By 9 o'clock we were all at the opera house, ready for the dress rehearsal, but the house was too cold. It was therefore decided to meet again at half-twos' and 'ceveryone must be here on time. Guess three of the boys didn't hear the order, for they were an hour late. The director took this opportunity to inculcate in us a little brotherly love. You ought to take better care of each otherf' he said. HNOW Davidson- you all know he is only a baby. It won't be our fault if he isn't around on time hereafter. i As to the matinee and evening concerts, not much need be said. The house was a little larger than the crowd in both cases. MENOMONIE, Wis., JANUARY Z. A ' On the way to Stout's town we enjoyed some of the much-reputed Wis- consin scenery. It wasn't bad either-consisting in great part, of swift rivers, marshy swamps, and magnificent bluffs. We also passed through numerous 167 towns, not the least of which were Winona with its Sugar Loaf and Normal School, and Wabasha with its lunch counter. After changing steeds two or three times in the order of anti-climax we finally landed alongside a ZX4 dry- goods box within looking distance of Menomonie. On the platform stood two ex-bandites: Harold l-loyme and Dr. Dahl. Glenn also was there to meet us. We piled our grips and cetera onto a dray and paraded up to town and through it without taking any short cuts. The minister and young people were at the church to take care of us, which they did to our great satisfaction. This even- ing's concert was played to a packed house. Our only regret is that our stay in this pretty little city is so short. WILLMAR, MINN., JANUARY 3. Be at the station at 4:45 sharp. Such were the orders for this morn- ing. All were there but two. These two were awakened at exactly 4:38, and the number of blocks to the station being considerable, there was a discrep- ancy somewhere. Consequently we had to give the matinee concert at Litch- field without Tryg,' and Cork That was a sleepy concert! Trumpet calls wouldn't trumpet and those who had obligatos forgot to play them. Willmar is the first dry town we have struck. The crowd this evening was said to be even larger than that which came to hear the Luther College Band when it was on its way to the Pacific coast. l-lowever, we shall gener- ously refrain from boasting. At the hotel, after the concert, Ed. Hanson made several of the boys apologize to the crowd. It mattered not that they were ignorant of any offense. MORRIS, MINN., JANUARY 4. Walking up from the depot this afternoon the prima donna was fortun- ate enough to see a yellow cat. This he said meant unbounded good luck for us. We accept the omen! But what can even Fortune do when the car is cold and Da-da has smothered the fire in the stove? The trouble is that we can't leave here before l o'clock tonight. Guess we'll have to hang out in the hotel parlor until the train comes. HAWLEY, MINN., JANUARY 5. Tonight is Sunday. ln fact, that's what it has been all day, ever since before we left Morris. We didn't intend to lose any more of our ambrosial slumbers than absolutely necessary, so we had a surprise party on the old day 168 coach and made a sleeper out of it. The idea was carried out hoc modo: The backs of the seats were taken off and laid across the openings, thus making a continuous level, except for the hills and valleys. Then we made pillows out of newspapers, programs, und so Iveiter and laid our weary bodies down in tranquil repose. Awaking any time between 5 and 8 o'clock everyone found himself suffering from some particular form of stiffness, cramps, cold, or rheumatism. Whether he looked out upon Moorhead or Fargo depend- ed on the time. In the course of the forenoon we came down to l-lawley. The people here immediately took us to their homes and there is no danger that we are going to suffer. This is an extra concert and they appreciate it very much, looking upon it as a favor to them. To meet a man with the enthusiasm of Rev. Sorn l-lauge is really a pleasure. It was largely due to him that there was not even standing room to spare at the concert this afternoon. This evening there was Hhoimesse gudstjenestef' in which Profs. Christiansen and Gronseth and the Saxophone Quartet took part. It was undoubtedly a revelation to most of the people present, what our director could get out of that organ, and Prof. Gronseth held the entire audience spellbound. MOORHEAD, MINN., JANUARY 6. - This morning some of us visited the high school on the invitation of Ex- traf' Johnson, who is teaching there. Profs. Schmidt and I-lolvik each spoke a few minutes. Holvik must have left them in doubt as to whether he was teacher or student, but they probably concluded the latter. The Sax. 4 played several selections, which seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed. On the way to Moorhead the privacy of our car was rudely disturbed by the partial invasion of a crowd of Normal School co-eds. They had some of the boys completely at their mercy, and these straightway made dates to attend chapel at the Normal tomorrow. I shall not mention any names because Sub and Swensky and a few others might not like it. When we came to Moorhead Goo-goo had a shave at Edfs urgent so- licitation. The concert this evening was given in Concordia's fine new audi- torium, which though large was not too large for the audience. FARGO, N. D., JANUARY 7. This morning we took a look at Moorhead, the distributing point for most of North Dakota of a certain commodity. It was hard to find any business places except such distributing agencies. 169 In moving over to Fargo after dinner some of the boys walked through Dagotown. Mose, seeing the numerous three-ball signs, exclaimed enthusi- astically, Why can't I start a business like that in Dundas? Fargo has about as many threshing machine agencies as her fblack sheep-J sister city has saloons. Which is the better off? We played in the big opera house to a large, enthusiastic balcony-and- gallery audience. This is as far west as we go, consequently many friends of St. Qlaf came from towns farther on to hear us. After the concert the Aggies gave their yell, but we fired back. Suddenly there came from somewhere a What's the matter with l-lertsgaard? and a feeble response, l-le's all right! Qscar declared emphatically that it was the Kindred delegation showing their love for him, but we are not quite ready to accept that theory. Left a 6:30 call, for we go from Moorhead at 8:15 tomorrow. F ERcUs FALLS, JANUARY 8. The yellow cat seems to have lost its influence! It looked this morning as if the solo cornet bench would soon be empty. I-lolvik rose sick, and Rou- tier had no sooner come to Moorhead than the ground flew up and smashed his cornet lip. Alabama was the only fit man left and he soon began to feel indisposed. Besides this, the car was cold and about half of the house programs had been thrown out. Nevertheless we reached Fergus Falls shortly before dinner and were assigned to private places. ln the afternoon some of us visited Park Region Luther College and there met the director of music, som hedte saa meget som Polakowskyf, as Prof. Eikeland would have said, and a fine, jovial gentleman he is-a typical German. He said he was going to bring his bovs down in a body, and he did. Tonight,s crowd is the record so far. There wasn't standing room enough, though the house was by no means small. Mgr. Schmidt is feeling line! ALEXANDRIA, MINN., JANUARY 9. Before we could dismount to the station platform here this forenoon, Rev. Benson f Bill's,' brotherj was in the coach handing out a hand-shake and a hearty Clad to see you! to each one. Behind him came Bordsen, famous in the gym. They piloted us directly to the church where the ladies had pre- pared a dandy dinner. As some said, it felt a whole lot like the Norway Tour. After dinner we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Bordsen, who was the hrst to register at St. Olaf. It was in the present Ladies, Hall that she made 170 her debut as co-ed. Thirty odd years have brought with tnem many changes, and St. Qlaf is no longer a small building in the middle of town, but a large institution on Manitou I-leights. The afternoon was spent by some in writing postals, by others in seeing the town. Alexandria is a much favored summer resort, and not without reason. Right near town are several beautiful lakes, not to speak of many others with- in a short distance. In all these there is fish in abundance, just waiting to be caught. We shall come back some time and catch a mess of them. Supper again at the church. After the inner gentleman had been .satis- fied we were treated to a short, vigorous speech by l-lon. Lobeck. The young ladies then presented us with souvenirs and each received according to his dis- position or needg some curling irons-among them Sig. Engh-others, spoons, and still others monkey wrenches, but the majority got pipes. We then went down to our private hotel on the side track to put on uniforms. Practically the whole house was sold out before the concert. No wonder either, if many possessed the spirit of one gentleman who had heard the band in Norway. l-le is reported to have said that he would hear us play tonight if he had to stand on his head to do it. Luckily he didn't have to. I-IOTEL WAVERLY, MINNEAPOLIS, JANUARY IO. As we approached the cities this afternoon orders were passed around that everything must be taken out of the car because it went no farther than Min- neapolis. Searches for lost articles were immediately instituted. Une had lost his overshoesg a razor had escaped from anotherg some one else was minus rub- bers, etc. The Waverly I-lotel was only about a mile from the station and we didn't want to take a car for that little distance. Ed. Hanson, therefore, with his ex- perience from Sakarias', days took the lead, and with our grips and musical paraphernalia in our hands we walked! Got there too, and then we learned that some of the fellows had been effeminate enough to ride. We registered and went in to dinnerg no-not supper. Dave felt hurt, having to eat dinner when he was absolutely certain that it ought to be supper. l-le was seriously thinking of ordering supper, too, but abandoned the idea. It was fun playing for the crowd gathered in Dania I-lall. They were mostly Oles and were nothing if not enthusiastic and appreciative. Some of them came behind the scenes before the concert began and Prof. Gronseth told 171 his boys to applaud vigorously when he appeared. f-le got a double encore. RED WING, MINN., JANUARY II. After putting away some grape-nuts, beefsteak, bacon and eggs, German fried potatoes, wheat cakes, and-well, about the Whole menu, we caught the 8 o'clock Milwaukee for Red Wing. Some had relatives, friends, or business in St. Paul and got on there. But l-Iolvik didn't even do that. I-le went down to Northfield just to ride on that Great Western train to Red Wing. The boys were more or less languid after rising at 6:30-mostly more. l-low are we ever going to break ourselves in to that schedule again when we get back to school? Emil l-lauge said he hadn't gone to bed before l o'clockg there was such a fine, leather upholstered settee in his room that he thought he ought to make as much use of it as possible. Our leisure time today has been spent in various ways, e. g. climbing Barn's Bluff, seeking a remedy for tight shoes, or waiting for a chance at the easy chairs in the lobby. This complaint of tight shoes, by the way, has been heard quite frequently on the whole trip, but today the sufferers couldn't stand it any longer. Some, therefore, borrowed larger shoes-if there were any- while others had their foot gear enlarged. The lesson to be learned from such suffering is to buy shoes that are in accordance with the size of the foot. After the matinee concert the band remained to have a picture taken. While we waited for the photographer all kinds of stunts were done, for in- stance, blowing horns so it listened like cows or other wild animals, and sing- ing Semper Fidelisf' If P. Sousa had heard that rendition of his march he might not have appreciated it. The trouble was that the clarinetists are bass singers, while the bass players are more tenor than anything else-and then Hoghaug couldn't sing his cymbal part worth a cent. When the picture taker finally came he focused his machine upon us and fixed up his flash producing apparatus. We put on a bewitching look, he turned on the flash, and the proceeding was thereby over. We should have boarded the train for Northfield right after the evening concert, but just 59 minutes passed before they would take us. They probably had to limber up the engine first, it puffed as if it was out of wind too. At the end of that time the train thundered away with the more-than-ever-famous- now-homeward-bound St. Olaf College Band. Cn the way we made war upon a box of apples that Prof. Schmidt brought aboard with him. 172 Larson and his dray looked good to us when We alighted at Northfield. The Second Band might have been down to welcome us with the strains of See the Conquering Hero Comes, but of course Pepper wasn't there to wield his magic baton. ST. OLAF COLLEGE, NORTHFIELD, MINN., JANUARY IZ. Today has been spent mostly in strengthening the credit side of our sleep account, and in wondering Whether or not to resign from the Band in the near future. KN. B.-The standings were not all given out before vacationj. The people here all seem to be glad to see us again. They have even postponed the reception for new students on our account. IBID, JANUARY 13. The tour ended with a climax. Practically every seat in the Ware Audi- torium Was filled, and such enthusiasm! We are back among friends all right, and better friends than ever it seems. We hope that such is the case. And thus endeth the Fourth Annual Concert tour, second only to nor .- gesreis en. -A HBAND-ITE f 1 l' ll fa, :ll Writ K 'iiiglm' W ill' XXX k . .st xS' X l , N XX Z I 1 X - . .Z - ll ii1:QV lllll'llml ll!

Ambiguous as Horace's ingenium tenus is miscellaneous philosophy. If you see the sense, appropriate itg but if you fail to hnd a kernel, console yourself-it was but an empty joke. A friend once asked me whether or not he might tell a certain falsehood concerning me, which to the rabble would suggest smartness but to the sound- minded, baseness. I looked at himg he was smiling roguishly. If another had been concerned, I answered, I should hardly have found words strong enough to rebuke your light-mindedness. As it is, have your choice, but re- member that it may harm others more than me. I-low sad to see a good cause impeded by suspicion, thoughtlessly or maliciously aroused. Perverting the motives of a man is sin against the spirit of the man. A fool,s compliments are often insults. Protesting against them, I feel as if pleading my own case g acquiescing, I seem to share his views. If there is any wrong that the respected man can commit with impunity, yea, with credit, it is indulging in merciless criticism and witticism. To lack words is a sign of awkwardness, but to bombard with sarcasm and ridicule is the privilege and mark of a skilled man of the world. In this sport even the theologian can indulge. I-low slowly a man learns to renounce himself in speech! What a temptation to let fly a biting jest when it lies ready on the tongue! Yet I would a thousand times rather be considered dull than train my wit on the heart strings of my fellow man! Flatterers are a nuisance, but friends helping me to maintain a true self- respect are inestimable benefactors. There is a tendency in man to test his abilities. Children in want of crea- tive abilities sometimes use their resources in obstructing grown people. A man is laboriously dragging a tree. By hanging onto the branches a boy can stop him, and he feels big. This is ordinarily a passing stage, but with some it be- comes chronic. In want of abilities and aims of their own they satisfy them- selves by demonstrating their power to oppose others. One is forcibly reminded by them, of a fly lighting upon the nose of a spirited horse. The noble animal shakes his head, neck, and mane to rid himself of the tiny creature. I-low proud the fly would feel, being so small and yet able to cause such violent ac- tions-if it had the ambition of such people! Man may, for the sake of analysis, be looked upon as a composite of the 180 rest of the animal kingdom. Then we find in each individual the nature of one animal or another predominating. I-lere the bold, majestic lion steps forthg there we get a glimpse of the subtle foxy in others we see the strutting peacock, the diligent ant, the winding serpent, the guileless dove, the selfish crow, the faithful dog, the prattling goose, the sagacious elephant, or the aping monkey. Which of these components are desirable, and in what proportion? How delightful is the reading of a favorite authorg one of whom I am assured that he writes his deepest convictions! I feel his heart-blood flow through my veins, restoring and invigorating my whole being. I was once acquainted with a most able man and I often wondered at the entire absence of pride in him. As I hinted something of this to him one day, he told me the following story of his life: When I was a young man my inclinations led me to the study of astron- omy. I worked diligently and after a while became favorably known among scientists. I began to feel my abilities keenly, but one day I fell in with some musicians. Their talk of harmony and counterpoint, of canon and fugueg of Wagner, Bach, and Mendelssohn entirely confounded me. Seeing my em- barrassment they looked at me pityingly, as they might at a man incurably crip- pled. This look vexed me so much that I determined to remove the possibility of such an incident recurring. A few years of close application gave me a fair skill in the musical art. Again my head involuntarily rose. A little while after this I happened to come in contact with a group of philosophers. They were discussing Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Spencer, whose names, indeed, I had heard, but whose philosophical systems were as a mist in my mind. In vain I tried to introduce into the conversation Mozart, Wagner, and Paganini, who were now my favorites. I might as well have mentioned so many Zulusl Not in the least did these learned men deviate from their profound discussion. 'Philosophyf I said to myself, cis the sublime thingg it alone, gives a man equilibriumf During the following years, under able guidance I drank deeply from the fountains of philosophy. A psychologi- cal treatise from my hand won merited renown. Now I felt my reputation safe, and although I made no display, nevertheless a feeling of self-sufficiency filled me. One day as I passed through the fish market a fine specimen of what I thought to be codfish caught my eye. I confidently asked the slouchy, weather- 181 beaten fisherman how much he charged for the codfish. The man looked at me scrutinously, as if to ascertain whether I was jesting or in earnest. I-lis com- panions began to snicker and I felt uncomfortable. Then, pointing to the fish in question he answered with sarcastic condescension: 'This is no more a cod- fish than you are.' It was a haddock. A general explosion of laughter fol- lowed and I made my way off as quickly as possible, feeling that my reputation was forever lost among the fishermen. I could tell you several similar experiences, but these will suffice. I final- ly learned to see that for everything l knew there were thousands of things of which I was ignorant. Some of these things others knew, although they might lack some of my acquirements. Then l asked myself: 'Why should my knowl- edge necessarily be the criterion for everybody? And why should my frac- tional ability entitle me to pride? H Dr-r, A ringing A clanging! The house resouncts With clamlrous souncls! No more shall drowsy sleep Its holcl unshalgen, lgeepg For as everyone can tell, Here comes Running with his hell. Wal3e upfn he cries,' Hcome on, alvalfef NW Or of no brealffast yotfll partake!

As you approach the Heights of Manitou from town and climb the front of the hill you first come to the lVlain. In this building the recitations are carried on by the profs with the help of a few students. The name has come down to us from the day when lessons were the main thing at St. Olaf. Ob- serve that there are many projections and abutments on the tower. They are there to prevent the boys from falling down and hurting themselves when they put up their class banners. At the northwest corner of the building is the cor- nerstone. It has lain there for 30 hallow-e'ens without being removed. As you come in through the front entrance you see the postoffice at your right. I-lere is where the majority of students are regularly disappointed in their search for mail. The first floor is occupied by laboratories and class rooms of the scientific department. No. 3 is the physical laboratory. It contains many delicate instruments of which one is an accurate micrometer for measuring swellings of the head. The two upper floors are occupied by class rooms and offices. The walls are adorned with pictures of graduates, and any student will point out to you the student who graduated with an average standing of 71 without dumping in a single study. By his right side is the picture of the stu- dent who originated the joke about not having prepared his impromptu. As you pass out of the west entrance of this building you may see the Steensland Library to the right. The donor erected such a pretty little building that the grizzly old Main turned green with ivy. If you ascend the steps and walk straight in through the door and stop when you reach the middle of the room, you will find yourself directly in front of the desk of Felland Sz Raaen. On one end of this stands the famous bust of Ibsen. If you look around you will observe that the room is otherwise well bustified too. Directing your gaze toward the west wall you will see a large number of green books. These have been donated by the government and are intended especially for Freshmen. Up to date they have saved the school many dollars worth of chairs. To get to the museum you go down stairs, but it will do you no good for it is locked. F rom the Library a walk varying in length from ten seconds to five min- utes, according to circumstances, brings you to the Hoyme Memorial Chapel. Although this auditorium is not very old it has been the scene of many important conventions, such as the annual meeting of the United Church and the annual election of officers for the Junior Class. 184 Posing a short distance from the walk, and modest to a fault is the Ladies' Hall. True to its feminine nature it has had its name changed, being called simply a schoolhouse before it was raised to its present exalted position on Man- itou Heights. It has not kept up with the styles very well but still wears the same porch that it got some years ago. It is an amusing pastime for new stu- dents to guess its age, but it is whispered among the boys that it is older than it looks. The next building you come to is the boys' dormitory. It is built in the form of the letter H signifying Holland. Many of the occupants have horns, but are generally perfectly harmless during study hours. Back of the Dorm is a wood pile-unless it has all been sawed-and a thick grove of trees. Either or both of these may be used as a smoking room. To the east of the dormitory is the new hospital. Since it is more trouble- some to be removed to the hospital than to go down for breakfast the erection of this building will undoubtedly reduce the number of cases of Monday morn- ing sickness. ln front of the dormitory is the campus where the boys get the necessary knocks. Here the baseball diamond may be found in the springg here also Rorem's rink lies buried in the winter. On one side is the grand stand. On the opposite is a large rock in which the seal of St. Olaf has been chiseled. It was done by a St. Qlaf student. But art always has its imitators. Since this was done, many other students have carved various designs on chairs and railings. President Kildahl has even observed that the same movement has spread to others of our race.

Books-text or other- f - :-1' E wise-are his constant companions, and Li 'I , ' il....., without one or more of them he is sel- E ji dom seen. fNotabene-l-le must not be E ,Q gi confounded with the one who takes a .1 :QQ - 35 text-book with him to breakfast because Efll :H LI he has not studied his lesson beforel. The horse pugger is seldom, if ever seen poring over a book of useful inform- ation, neither is he favorably known among profs. s THE SPORT.-You can easily recognize him. His trousers are full peg -corduroy preferred-and without any apparent reason he rolls them up above his shoe tops. To compensate for the trousers he wears a very small hat. To be a fullfledged sport he should wear a pipe and a swagger, and should have , no regard for authority. i N 't' CAMERA.-l-le flourishes the year gg , around, but his assistant thrives best in warm ' weather. Then they may be seen on an af- t ternoon, setting out in almost any direction. V In one hand he carries a small black boxg El in the other, a table with an absurdly small .f top and ridiculously long legs. I-le looks , :QI for stone-walls, old tree stumps, or the like, ,fu X which he illoglcally calls back-grounds. 2 K! When he finds one of these he first stations Z fx Q4 2 his assistant before or beside it. Then he lj jg! sets up the table mentioned and, fixing the 1, My! 'fl X! box upon. it, points it at them. After tinker- ! fl ji ll, I X X, f ing with it a certain length of time he holds ' I , ' ' g ' ' f , 'ff ,ff ' flfl up one hand and with the other presses a rub- ber bulb, attached by a small hose to the 186 box. Then he takes down the paraphernalia and they move on as before. GUSHING-She usually speaks in the superlative, seldom in the compara- tiveg never in the positive. She doesn't like a thing, but she is crazy for itgn she doesn't get frightened, but is scared to deathf' A thing is not good, pretty, or amusing, but it,s the best ever,', just too lovely for anythingf, and she Uthought she'd died laughing. COFFEE- Ah, what is so delicious as good coffee? Une cup will impart new courage, infuse new life, two cups will thaw the formality of any strangerg three cups will cure a cold, a headache, or inflammatory gout. Ambrosial nec- tar, thou art my best friend, and he who loves me must also love you -says the Hkaffekjaerringf' CIGARETTE-A small quantity of tobacco, rolled up in a small piece of thin white paper, and lighted at one end-the end which he does not put into his mouth-constitutes the instrument of his enjoyment. It is called cigarette, pill, or coffin-nail. While the habit, of which a cigarette fiend is the happy' possessor, is a source of great enjoyment, its main purpose is medicinal-to strengthen the lungs. This is the reason for the heretofore unexplained phe- nomenon of inhaling the vaporous substance given off by the pill. The by- product of this habit is also very desirable, viz: the beautiful yellow hue that the fingers get. It is well known that as a coloring agent, cigarettes are second only to nitric acid.

OLAP COLLEGE OCTET 'O9. Music flowed from St. Olaf in copious streams last Christmas vacation. Besides the Band Tour, and, in fact, coming before it, was the one mentioned above. It was a tree-menjous success, musically, financially, and grub-ally- especially the last, as the concert co., composed of the octet and Gundy, can testify. Testimonials of the first may undoubtedly be had from anybody living at or near Cottonwood, Hanley Falls, Hazel Run, Clarkfield, Boyd, Dawson, or Madison, Minn. information about the financial part may per- haps be gotten from Mgr. Lukas. I However, the trip might have been better if Joe and Gundy hadn't eaten so much, if Hovde and Jahren hadn't slept so late, if Engh and Lukas hadn't been so up-cutting during the bob-rides between places, and if Langum, Jorgen, and Wentzel hadn't used so much dope. But then it would have been much worse if Gundy hadn't been along with his fiddle, if the weather, sleighing, and people hadn't been so fine, and if Rev. Rondestvedt hadift looked after them so well. The young gentlemen have not yet decided where to go next year, but very likely it will be somewhere abroad.

PATI-I OF A SPORT. nl l-lis name was Bill and he was a sport. l-le once came to St. Olaf. Prexie read him the rules. 94491 Would Bill obey them? To Prexie- Bill an- W 5 swered Yes, to himself he said UNO. -Prexie wanted to see Bill in his office at 2 o'clock. Bill ' had broken the evening association rule and . fractured several others. l-lad he not agreed to QW - s obey the rules? Yes. Would he repeat the of- fence? No.-Bill didn't want to offend Prexieg T - - ' Z5 neither did he wish to hurt the feelings of any prof. So he dodged them. Whenever he desired to enter the Dorm and the doors were locked, he did so as un- obtrusively as possible. But once a prof came to Bill's room at 9:58 p. m. Was Bill in? 'No. Did his room-mate know where he was? Not exactly. The prof would wait. Bill arrived at II :47. The prof hoped he would sleep well theirest of the 7,L-:Jing-.anv+...n1-'L' UH!!

He had smashed the rules and broken his word. Bill was an undesirable student. Prexie handed him a neatly written certificate of dis- missal. l-le also wished him a pleas- ant journey.

I-IUNGRY-SEVEN BREAKFAST. Seven young men, united in sympathy and purposeg inspired by the same ideal-what can they not accomplish? Thus thought the Hungry Sevenn and so it happened that they once decided to prepare their own breakfast. They had to rise long before 7 o'clock to do it, but were they not sons of the Vikings? Those who expected the undertaking to be a failure should have seen that breakfast! Aluminum cakes there Were, heaps of them fmade by Runningl , the best corn syrup, coffee that by all was pronounced excellent, and -yes, even Hprestesukkerf' All these things they might have seen-at the beginning of the mealg at its end-well, see the accompanying illustrations.
