THOMAS C. HOUTZ, A. M. EV. THOMAS C. HOUTZ, A. M., Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in Susquehanna Uni- versity, is one of the foremost educators of his time. His ancestors were Germans of sterling integ- rity and marked excellency of character, a providential bless- ing of inestimable value and a vantage ground of significant import. His parents, Christian and Christina (Shuey) Houtz, chose farming as a vocation, and located in the beautiful Nittany Valley of Central Pennsylvania. In this picturesque garden spot of the great Keystone State, near Lemont, was born September 28, 1853, Thomas C. Houtz, amid pleasing envi- ronments and bright foretokenings of noble achievements for this new actor in the arena of life. The earlier part of his life was spent in the rural employ- ments and rustic delights of his native place, aiding in the development of that sturdiness of body and strength of mind so much needed in the onerous solicitudes and multifarious burdens of subsequent professional employments. The public schools at Lemont with excellent teachers gave the first powerful impulse to a mind naturally vigorous, and successfully paved the way for a future college education. A term at the County Normal School in 1872, and a sum mer and fall term in 1873 at the Boalsburg Academy, proved a still greater incentive for the higher training which can alone be attained under the strict discipline of the college curriculum. Accoraingly the young Academian entered the Sub-Fresh- man Class at State College, Centre County, Pennsylvania, September 2, 1874. Former habits of industry and critical methods of study soon marked the new Collegian as a young man of promise and future fame in any chosen profession. A Freshman prize for the best entrance average was a first trophy of honest labor and true merit. Following this were two more prizes, one in Mathematics, another in Physics, with graduating honors in June, 1879. On September 23, 1879, Professor Houtz was married to Miss Maggie Duffee, an accomplished young lady of Lemont, Pennsylvania, who has ever since been an inspiration and true help in the professor ' s happy home. Natural proclivities and thorough equipment led to the choice of teaching as a profession, and for more than twenty years Professor Houtz has been a successful instructor. He became Principal of the Pine Grove Academy, Centre County, Pennsylvania, 1885 , and was elected Professor of Mathematics, Vice Principal of the Missionary Institute in 1886, which posi- tion he filled with honor and credit till 1894, when he was chosen Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in Susque- hanna University, where he is now a strong factor in all that pertains to good discipline and true education. As coadjutor with Dr. J. R. Dimm, Professor Houtz did much in faculty committee work to advance the interests of the Institute, and has for years been the Chief Librarian of the College, performing much arduous labor there, and has always been a safe counsellor, and an active participant in all college work and student delights. In connection with his earlier professional labors, he also took a Theological course in the Missionary Institute during the time of Dr. Peter Born ' s incumbency, and was licensed as a Minister of the Gospel, by the Central Pennsylvania Synod in 1888, and ordained by the same in 1899. As statistician of Central Synod he has served most ac- ceptably since 1896. He acted in the capacity of delegate for his Synod at the General Synod, convened in York, Pa., 1899. He also supplied a pastorate for some time in Luzerne county, while professor in the Institute, and has always been a very busy man. From past successes we may safely predict greater achieve- ments and a brighter future for this faithful instructor and popular professor of Susquehanna University. fhc £flEET 1 1 TO THE MEMBERS OF ' or: ) our Editorial Staff, to whom you entrusted the responsibility and success of this, the fourth volume of the Lanthorn, earnestly aesire that its contents may not only meet your approbation, but that the entire work may properly represent the etass and be found worthy oj a place among its predecessors.

HEISLER HURSDAY evening, November 16th, marked an epoch in the history of Susquehanna, it being the event of the informal introduction into office of our President-elect Rev. C. W. Heisler. G. C. Wagenseller, member of the Board of Directors, presided. The exercises of the evening were opened by devotional exercises by Dr. Yutzy. The emblems of the authority of the office of President were delivered by retiring President Dimm in a fitting and appropriate address to the President of the Board of Directors, Hon. G. B. Reimensnyder. The President of the Board, in his turn, delivered a very strong and stirring address, showing to everybody present, the great interest and care he had for the institution, and conferred the trust to President-elect Rev. C. W. Heisler. Rev. C. W. Heisler responded to these remarks in an appropriate and pleasing manner, impressing ever student, friend and visitor with the zeal and earnestness with which he has entered into this work. Professor T. C. Houtz represented the faculty; he spoke of the growth of the institution under Dr. Dimm ' s term of office, he for a time being the only professor in connection with Dr. Dimm, and serving, next to him, the longest of any professor. His remarks showed his faith- fulness and loyalty through all the trials the institution has PRESIDENT OF SCSQI BHANNA UNIVERSITY. passed. Mr. W. H. Derr, ' 00, represented the student body of the classical department and assured the new President of every student ' s hearty co-operation, The college glee club and orchestra rendered several pleasing selections and the exercises closed with prayer by Dr. Yutzy. The members of the facultv followed the exercises by a reception to President Heisler and family. Dr. Dimm, after a long and useful term of service, handed in his resignation, June 6th, to the Board of Directors, on account of failing health. The Board of Directors appointed a committee to select a new one. Rev. C. W. Heisler was chosen, after careful consideration by the committee and Board of Directors, as being the one fully qualified to fill the office of President of our institution. We are safe in saying the choice has met with the approval of every student and friend of the school, as is shown by the respect and love with which every student regards him. President Heisler, after a brilliant career at college and seminary, was called to Bellville, Pennsylvania. After three years of faithful work he accepted an appointment of the Women ' s Executive Committee and Board of Home Missions to Los Angeles, California. He spent five and a half years here, a fine congregation of over a thousand members being the result of his untiring labors. During his residence in Los Angeles he advanced the cause of right and reform. From Los Angeles he went to Colorado Springs as missionary, and after a successful but brief term of service he was called to St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church (Women ' s Memorial), Denver, Colorado. He served this congregation six years, and in spite of a financial panic, filled one of the most brilliant pastorates the church has ever known. Rev. C. W. Heisler has preached and lectured in almost every Protestant church in Denver, and many throughout the State, thus coming in contact with the Christian people of Colorado He filled the position of Superintendent of Normal Bible Instruction in the Rocky Mountain Chautauqua, and for three years filled a similar position in the Rock River Assem- bly, Illinois. In these positions he proved an eminent success and won the highest praise and commendation from all who sat as learners before him. Eminent scholars and clergymen have pronounced his lectures as superior, and his sermons as being among the ablest of the day. Mr. Heisler has been a frequent contributor to the various church periodicals and others. He comes to us from the Anti-Saloon League of Colorado, having been chosen as its first superintendent. This alone would show forth his principles, but his upright character and manliness in connection with these go far to impress us all with his great regard for truth and right. «5 o V SKETCHES OF FACULTY. REV. CHARLES W. HEISLER was born in Minersville, Pa., in 1S57. He prepared lor admission into Pennsylvania College, at the opening of the second term in Jan., 1877. He took high rank at once in his class and graduated with first honors in 1880. In his course he took first and second prizes for brief essays in College Monthly, and Junior Latin gold medal. He left the seminary 1883, at which time he accepted a call to Belleville, Pa. In August, 1886, he accepted appoint- ment of the Woman ' s Executive Committee and Board of Home Missions to Los Angeles, Cal. In 1892 he was appointed mis- sionary to Colorado Springs, but, after serving a brief period, was called to St. Paul ' s Lutheran church, Denver, Col., where he served as pastor nearly six years. In 1.899 he accepted a call to the presidency of Susquehanna University, Selin ' s Grove, Pa. Rev. Heisler is a man of intense energy and we believe will be a successful college president. REV. JACOB YUTZY, D. D., was born at Salisbury, Somerset Co., Pa., May 24, 1847. After teaching at several schools he entered Roanoke College Preparatory Department, 1869. After two years he entered the Freshman class at Get- tysburg, Pennsylvania College, graduating in 1876. During his classical course he secured the Freshman Prize, Hessler ' s Latin Medal, First Honor and Latin Salutatory. He then en- tered the seminary and graduated in Theology rS79. His first charge was at Boalsburg, Pa., 1879-1882. He then accepted a call to the Trinity Lutheran church of Selin ' s Grove, Pa., which he most prosperously served for thirteen years. Having been elected Professor of Semitic Languages and Dog- matics of S. U., he resigned the pastorate and entered upon the duties of his professorship in 1S95, where he has since served most acceptably. J. R. DIMM, D. D., was born in 1830, near Muncy, Ly- coming Co., Pa. He prepared for college and graduated from Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, with first honor in 1857. During the same year he assumed management of the classical school near Aaronsburg, Centre Co., Pa. In 1874 he became principal of the Lutherville Female Seminary. During his administration of six years, the standard of scholarship was raised and many progressive changes were made. In 1882, his reputation as a teacher led to his being called as principal of the classical department of the M. I. at Selin ' s Grove, Pa., now Susquehanna University. He then became President. In 1S99, on account of ill health, he was obliged to resign the presidency. Dr. Dimm ' s efforts in this institution can scarcely be sufficiently appreciated. By his indomitable will and un- tiring energy, he has elevated the course and increased the at- tendance, until the institution has become a mighty factor in the Lutheran Church of America. 21 PROF. J. I. WOODRUFF was born near Salem, Snyder Co., Pa., in 1864. He prepared for college at Missionary In- stitute, now Susquehanna University, and entered Bucknell University, at Lewisburg, Pa., during the junior year. He graduated in 1890 and three years later his Alma Mater con- ferred upon him the degree of A. M. After leaving college he took charge of the Friend ' s Normal Institute at Rising Sun, Mel., which position he held for one year. He then went to Mifflintown, Pa., and during 1S91 and 1892 was principal of the Mifflin Academy. He then accepted the professorship of Latin and Higher English in Missionary Institute, now Susquehanna University. In Prof. Woodruff, Susquehanna University has a noble Christian man and an accomplished scholar. PROF. GEORGE E FISHER, Ph. B„ was born Jan. 17, 1869, at Kreamer, Snyder Co., Pa.

Time rolls its ceaseless course, and almost before we are aware of it, find ourselves face to face with the fact that our college days are near the close. However, it is a pleasant prospect, for does not the student ever look forward with happy anticipation to the time, which to him is the acme of college life, when on the last proud day of his scholastic course, he dons the cap and gown, makes his little speech, and then steps out into a broader life to show the world what he can do ? But while we approach this time with jubilant hearts, anxious to be out and battle with the actualities of life, yet there is a shade of regret as we realize that our college days are over; that so many pleasant associations must be broken, and we pass out, each to pursue his or her own way, and that our lives may never again touch in this life. We stand at the portal of our Alma Mater, saying farewell with a strange co-mingling of feeling, with a hopeful, bouyant spirit, anxious to go, yet held back by that strong cord of affections which ever binds one to the school of his choice, and it is after all with a feeling, somewhat of reluctance, we pass out and give place to those who are com- ing after. How different the view in the retrospect from that of the prospect when we entered college. As we look back we appreciate the saying, blessings brighten as they leave us. Even the unpleasant and difficult things are seen in a new light, and ail the discouragements and hardships fade away in the glad fruition of college life. But what may we add in praise of the class whose enviable record is so well known ? In point of harmony and good fellowship, perhaps no class has enjoyed more, for no dis- cordant element ever disturbed the deep and lasting friendship formed early in our college course. We have only to regret that so many who started with us — at which time the class numbered twenty-one — subsequently turned aside into other fields of activity, as the years went by, until now, whether according to the law of the survival of the fittest or not, the truth is that only the magic number of thirteen remain to tell of the deeds of 1900. Among this number is one fair maiden, the president of the class, who has journeyed with :s us all the way, and whose benign influence and charming manners have had a wholesome effect upon the rough mascu- linity which needed a softer tone. Surely, if there is any significance in the number thirteen, the world must witness some marvelous things as eminating from the class of 1900. How memory loves to linger over the various incidents which have filled in our college days as we struggled together through the Freshman year, with its characteristic greenness, pushing on into the Sophomore year, where the cranium swells to make room for the superabundance of knowledge, and then as Juniors to realize that there are still a few things yet to learn, so that by the time we assume the dignity of Seniors, and see the end near at hand, we feel that our acquisition of knowledge has been as inversely as the years spent in acquiring it. However that may be, we have no reason to depreciate the ability of those who compose our number, but on the contrary, are inspired with confidence that each one will do credit to himself and to the school from which he graduates, in whatever calling or profession in life he may choose to pursue. And how, classmates, before laying aside the pen, never to be taken up again in this capacity, let me remind you that our lives are cast in a time which calls for earnest deeds, and as Lowell says, No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him, let us meet our obligations and Go forth to meet the shadowy future Without fear and with a manly heart. —HISTORIAN. 29 SONG OF THE SENIOR. Sad we find the Senior ' s lay: Sad as whe n in trouble ' s grasp. Memories of a brighter day Wound us like a rough-edged rasp. Old the thought that here we write : Jewel found by poet dear : Trophy of his mental might Set in words both true and clear. Mothers muse on children dead: Happy pictures bring the pain : Sunlight on a curly head. Funny ways the darlings feign. So the Senior cons his life Spent in Susquehanna ' s halls. Idly taps his paper knife Rhythmic to Dame Memoir ' s calls. Ah ! He heaves a heavy sigh, Trooping through his busy mind Goes an army passing by. Jolly times of every kind. How, when he a Freshman bold In the class-king ' s cosy room. Helps the fellows to unfold Plans that bring the Sophie ' s doom. Story of a famous lie By the cobbler of the class. Called a history. Oh My ! What an awful lot of brass ! Stolen while its author slept. Nailed upon the Freshman page, I ' er its loss the Sophies wept Swearing in their sullen rage. As this army marches on Comes in sight a crafty Soph, All his greenness being gone Dons the coat his rivals doff. Tis the Freshies ' turn to lo e. Vainly gainst the pricks they kick: Class-hats one and all abuse Mourning till they fall asick. Junior now both bold and gay : Conqueror in mental line : Leader in the social fray. Garbed in raiment soft and fine. He ' s the one who sets the pace: Shows the other-, how to do. How to run to win the race: To his class-mates, college true. Siiillv through his mind they run — Days of purest, wildest joy ; Days of frolic, fight and fun Gulden days without alloy. Soon indeed he leaves this spot : Bids his college-mates farewell : Casts in other lands his lot ; Hears no more the old hall bell. Tis a consummation sad, Good tilings shortly pass away. nly once they make us glad. Heart-sun ' s evanescent ray. ll K. B., 4£ 30 yj mKj HrmTrvrr} J.; ,hJ. ■ ItAN.yfoiiVcstVfcfcrfffle see.

Tis true that we feel the loss of the hearts, Who were of our unity component parts; Yet onward we struggle, the goal is before, The past is behind us to return never more. So shoulder to shoulder, our heart in the work. Each junior despises the chirl and the shirk. But he who would stumble or fall in the way Find a hand that is waiting, to aid in the fray. Per Augusta we ' re marching up Parnassus ' steep slope. But ever before us beholding the hope That at last at the end, when victories crown The efforts of each, we then may look down On the journey completed, on the toils that are o ' er, Living Pallas ' fond smile, and the Arabic lore, And living the lives that lived in old times. In the thought of the masters of prose and of rhyme, At each milestone of learning when labor was done Were no failures recorded for the sons of Aught One. In banquet assembled when round the ga} ' board Spread o ' er with the best the land could afford, All toil is forgotten amid the gay cheer, All trouble is banished, no sorrow is here. For e ' er on that evening sweet pleasure filled up To the highest top sparkle each heart and each cup, For there was the smile that no cloud could o ' er cast, And a heart and a hand ever true to the last. But this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay Like a dead, leafless branch in the summer ' s bright ray; The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain, It may smile in the light, but it blooms not again. There must come a time when our paths lie apart, When the union is broken that encircles the heart. But far be the day when memory no more Shall delight to portray, while lingering o ' er Sweet scenes of the past, the joys of the time When each youth and each maid found life a sweet chime. But still there ' s before us the one final year Ere the cap and the goivn we don with a tear; The year that shall tell us our race we have run. And a paean of triumph shall be sung by Aught One. But on to the combat with hope ever bright. Ad Augusta we ' re going tho ' hard is the fight. Our hearts are united, our spirits are true, Our strength shall be shown tho ' our numbers are few. The days in their passing shall scatter but smiles, As we follow our journey through learning ' s defiles. — R. Z. B., ' 01. 35 EX-MEMBERS OF 1901 A. M. Allison S.

As we endeavor to poise ourselves upon the heights we have gained, for the purpose of taking a retrospect of the past, and by a rational process to peer into the mystic future, we are oppressed with a sense of the arduous work yet to be done, ere we fulfill our destinies and are worthy of having our names written high up upon the scroll of honor and of fame. Soon three years of the four will have been accomplished, and graduation day seem not so far distant; but beyond our commencement day lie unlimited stretches yet to be traversed. But, like the renowned statesman, we know of no way of judging the future but by the past; and by this rule we predict that each member of ' 01 will have an important and honorable part in making the future in church and state, in science and in art, grander than in the past. The year has not passed without new experiences which have furnished their lessons of wisdom to all. We may congratulate ourselves upon the fact that there has been a touch of sunshine upon every shadow, and that all our toil has been sweetened by the many enjoyments that have thrilled our hearts along the way. We honestly believe that the class has done good work in every department ; whether or not this is the concurrent opinion of the Faculty we are unable to say. We, neverthe- less, wish here to record our sincere appreciation of the encouragement and excellent instruction given us during our college days by all the professors. With a feeling of regret we state that the names of some of our number do not appear on the class roll this year. Some have seen fit to pursue their studies in other institutions of learning , while some have gone forth to face the stern realities of actual life. We often think of them and the loss we suffer because of their departure. One, with Theolog- ical proclivities, dwelling in her far Western home, is not only missed in the class-room, but also in many social relations. The annual Class Banquet, with its appetizing and sump- tuous menu, its co-mingling of glad and joyous hearts, its literary and musical feast, and its visit to the County jail, profitable possibly to all, was an occasion that will linger long in the memory of all. And now, confessing our task but poorly done, we beg, as we are soon to step out, to make our courtesy to the in- coming Sophs, and to affectionately warn them, when they mount to Junior heights, the specific gravity of their learning will be greatly diminished. To the dignified(?) departing Seniors we bow in humble admiration of their erudition. As we march onward to take their honorable places we venture a farewell assurance that departing they will leave behind them foot-prints on the sands of Selin ' s Grove. Concluding, we would remind ' 01 that the unique dis- tinction of participating in the first commencement of the twentieth century will come to the class. Then let us be up and doing, ready for any fray and act well our part, that we may honor the birth of the new and momentous century. —HISTORIAN. 2k. 44 STATISTICS OF ' 01.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY IS TRUE the age of chivalry is gone; brave cavaliers no longer exist, at least not in the emerald oasis (the Freshman class) of Susquehanna University. No heroic leader comes forward to lead the raw recruits to an honorable defeat. Professors are unable to arouse their dormant minds and are powerless in their efforts to induce them to a sacrifice of jaded ponies, and the en- couragement of Juniors and Seniors has failed to arouse even a spark of rivalry toward the chivalrous Sophomores. The Sophomore knights were naturally and justly incensed when they saw the seats, lately vacated by them, occupied by foemen unworthy of their steel ; so they removed them from the chapel. Neither threats of the faculty nor the petitions of the Freshmen restored the seats, and it remained for the janitor to perform this humiliating task for them. But their sojourn of a fortnight in prepdom served to arouse their drooping spirits somewhat, even to such an extent that they determined to have their physiognomies copied. The Sophomores con- cluded that they were too premature in their aspirations, and accordingly knocked the props from under the air castles, so jubilantly built, telling them to wait till that verdant hue had worn away. A more woe-begone set of youngsters as they marched away from the Laboratory, mortal eye had never before been permitted to behold. In a peculiar way we were called upon to defend one of our beloved masters — Cato. The Freshmen becoming so disgusted in their efforts to interpret him were going to burn him in effigy, but filled with righteous indigna- tion at so cowardly an attempt, we kidnapped several mem- bers of their class and made it so uncomfortable for the remainder of them that they were very glad to desist. Here it would be in order to record a great athletic strug- gle, but the well-known strength of the Crimson and Steel has taken away that pleasure, for they refused to meet us. The Freshmen, finding their social standing very much on the decline, began to look around for some method of check- ing their downward course. After vainly searching the En- cyclopedia the Juniors were consulted, who told them to hold a banquet. The poor souls were now as bad off as before, for they did not know what this meant. All were in a quandry; but they obtained a vague idea of the meaning of this term from Webster ' s International, and after due delib- eration and desperate thinking arranged the following pro- gram : Two-thirty P. M., car ride to Adamsburg; three till ten, disburse with supper and rest; ten till eleven, feast, with declamations interspersed. Now the greatest problem of all confronted them. They well knew the Sophomores would not let them go if they remained at College, and finally agreed to stay away after vacation till they had had their little ban- quet. I must confess that this was a very wise plan to be conceived by such young heads. Their scheme worked so far as it hindered the Sophomores from interfering with their departure. But all their vigilance and caution did not pre- vent six brawny Sophomores from bursting in upon them in their juvenile gormandizing. Being an eye witness of the affair, I cannot but say that they were meek in the extreme, courage was totally lacking, etiquette unknown except by chaperons and their toasts disgusting to the last degree ; but thev were fairly bubbling over with joy and managed to do full justice to the repast spread before them. The old proverb is ' ' there is nothing like progressiveness, ' ' and acting under the maxim, the Sophomores decided to eclipse their grand affair of the preceding year. All arrange- ments were perfected with promptness and decision, and on the afternoon of the twelfth of January we left the college with pennants flying and the class yell re-echoing. Our progress to the station was not marred in any respect unless you were to take into consideration snowballs thrown at us by a few youngsters who were concealed in a dark alley. Arriving at the depot we entered our special car and were soon gliding along the limped waters of the Susquehanna bound for Hotel Haas;, Milton, Pennsylvania. At seven- thirty the Milton Orchestra struck up a dreamy waltz and the floor was soon filled by a jovial company. This lasted until eleven o ' clock, when the doors of the tastefully-decorated banquet hall were thrown wide open and the class of ' 02 marched in to do ample justice to this most important part of the program. All did their part well, especially the genial professor, whose ringing and soul-stirring toast will echo as long as the memory of that glorious event lingers in the hearts of all loyal members of 1902. I now bid you adieu, dear reader, having faithfully ob- served the maxim that truth is stranger than fiction. —HISTORIAN. SOPHOMORE POEM A CHAIN i Tis of silver and gold of the rarest sort O I Muse, that I wish you to sing-; Of silver so bright and of gold so pure, And of links that ever cling To each other in an endless chain. II Sing 1 , ! Muse, and while I list, Tell of fair friendship ' s bond; And cause my pen to nimbly trace The thoughts that memories fond Bring back of good old days gone by. Ill For as the clouds that idly float Upon fair summer ' s sunlit sky; So one sits in pleasant rev ' rie. And leaves the thoughts flash by; Pleasant recollections of the past. IV Of silver and gold in twenty links. This bracelet of honor and truth; Each link so tested and tested again By the trials and fears -f youth; For this chain is youth itself. And as gold is the metal rare, ' Tis so in this endless chain ; But this silver ' s so pure and bright and fair. That metal of another hue I fain Would take for another use. VI Eighteen links of the brighter sort, But two of the yellow gold ; But these together so firmly bound, In their fair circle enfold Only that which is virtuous and good. VII Just as man in his earthly greed Holds fast to the gem so rare. Thus doth the silver Links close cling To the gold so pure and fair: To the ever faithful links. VIII How close they cling, but soon they ' ll part. Ere soon this chain will break ; And on Life ' s journey drear and dark Each link its course will take. Without an ever-helping friend. IX Some bold may place on the pages of Fame Their deeds and their actions brave, While others may find an humbler sphere. But still will they always have A craving for that which is good.

They promptly organized themselves as the class of ' 03, and chose for their banner the motto, Nothing to Excess, which they are striving most earnestly to fulfill. Of this number eleven entered directly from the Prepara- tory Department, the rest, Misses Jacobs and Forster, Messrs. Frank and Peters, joined our noble band from other educational institutions. Time rolled on and the Freshmen were sailing in peaceful waters. Then only did the professors discover what intelli- gent students were, because this class surpassed all previous ones in the history of the institution. On the night of the 18th of October, when the soft rays of the moon were streaming to the earth in all their brightness, the class of 1903 decided to burn in effigy Cato Major. In an attempt to conquer the Freshmen, the Sophs took two of our members away, but not too far for them to return to fulfill their plans, which were not to be put into execution until one o ' clock. On the 29th of October the Sophs tried another plan in which they thought they could conquer the Freshmen, by removing their seats from the chapel, but they were kindly informed to replace the seats or pay for damages. We at last come to the period when we must be separated for a short time, which is regretted by us because of the loss of our class chaplain, who left us for a short time promising to return in the spring term and rejoin our noble band. But as time rolled on and the bells ringing in nineteen hundred reminded us of new duties, and the time for our banquet, which was rapidly approaching. When the 4th of January dawned, the sun in all his glory looked smilingly down into the happy faces of the Freshmen, who were on that day to hold their first banquet. As the hours rolled on they were at last gathered in safety at the depot. Their rivals were 62 entirely ignorant of it. At 2:18 they boarded the train for Adamsburg, where an excellent repast was prepared for them. Six of those gallant( ?) Sophomores, with the expectation of delaying the banquet, followed us. But, alas ! how easily they were foiled. They, once the strongest men, then became the weakest when they saw our beloved professor. These little children were led meek as lambs from the dining hall. Several days later we again welcomed to our class, a former classmate, Gilbert Barb. At the beginning of this term the Freshmen lost one of their brilliant members, Mr. Rathmell, who intends in the near future to enter a dental college. But we elected a person to fill his place in the person of Baby Beatrice Deihl. The class is now zealously studying Livy and digging the Greek roots of Herodotus. Excellent work is being done by the class in all their branches. Once a week loud cries arise from the south-western corner of the Gustavus Adolphus Hall, disturbing the other classmen, and on investigation it is found to be the Freshmen in elocution calling, John, come down, there is fire! We prophecy that when this class graduates, orators, auctioneers, ministers and politicians will be found among them in great abundance. It ' s meetings are well attended, a kindly class spirit pre- vails. The class of 1903 now stands as one solid body, and we hope it may continue so to the end. —HISTORIAN. £H3f 63 FRESHMAN POEM THE RED AND BLUE The strongest ties that bind us To all in life that ' s dear, Are the bonds of love and friendship.

Pleasant, indeed, when contemplating its individual possi- bilities, is the task of forecasting a brilliant future for this new constellation just hovering above the horizon of College life, and comparatively easy is the transition through vast flights of imagination to behold this new combination of promising ability blazing a glorious course to the very zenith of the college at- tainment. Although attended by an auspicious future upon its entrance into college life, yet, unlike the supernaturally promising things in the world ' s history, we do not expect it to die young, and although some capable minds will depart from Susquehanna ' s 1904, yet, in other college halls, while trying to analyze some Greek or Latin root, in the Botany class, or while struggling for the mastery with some gigantic mathematical distraction, back through the halls of memory their wandering minds will roam, and, drawing a new inspiration from the ani- mating enthusiasm of their pre-eollegiate days, they will return with renewed effort and fidelity to toil and battle for the ad- vancement of their cherished standard, 1904, wherever it may be. The future, a broad, untrodden expanse stretches beyond, and in the distance tower huge mountains bristling with Soph- moric antagonism and defiance, yet, with the spirited impa- tience of a war-horse, ' 04 longs to imprint its career upon this unmarked tract and with its untried strength to grapple with these mighty Sophmoric difficulties in days to come. And now, with its history and reputation before it, we leave it to fulfill its own capabilities, and yet, methinks, in years to come, after having learned and applied its motto, after having departed from college halls into the broader fields of life, and from thence into the infinite realms of eternity, methinks I can hear rolling back over the billows of Time, the sweet strains of the trumpet of Fame heralding the success and honor of the Class of 1904. — N.

' Mr. Augustus F. Wise, who intends to become a veteri- nary surgeon, has interested himself in all kinds of ' Ponies, ' ancient and modern. The new class pin, ' Safety pin, ' recently adopted by the Sub-Freshman class, has received much praise and commenda- tion on its beauty and appropriateness, as it is an article of great envy and emulation to the Freshmen. Wise to Martin : ' Did she throw you down, John ? ' ' Martin : ' Yes, and her father threw me out. ' It seems to be quite a fad among the students to keep kittens in their rooms. There are at present three kittens living in our dormitory, and the fellows say they are raising them to supply the Glee Club in case of emergency . A Tragedy. — It was on a freight train running from Sun- burv to Selin ' s Grove: the night black and cold; a bleak wind blew from the north, and darkness and gloom brooded upon all, and yet, above the thunder of the engine and the rumbling of the cars, out of the darkness and the gloom came the piteous wail of a well-known prep: ' Why, oh, why did they turn me down ! ' • Will some benevolent friend kindly donate a piece of new music to our orchestra. A Few Conundrums. — Why is Selin ' s Grove the best town on earth to play chess in ? Why is the Susquehanna river after a heavy rain like Swank ' s head ? Why does Keefer go home every week or two? In what respect is ' Reddy ' Weis not like George Wash- ington ? ' ' All answers should be addressed to the editor of this de- partment on or before March ist, 1900. Each communication must contain five two-cent stamps to insure reply. The gentleman has long since repented having published the above. It was done during a season of intense enthusiasm. He anticipated glorious results, but found that his mind was not yet fertile enough to produce a conundrum sufficiently deep to agitate the minds of the public. His state is a pitiable one ; he has our sympathy. THE TALE OF A PREP. Oh, hard are the trials and few are the joys That fall to the lot of Prince ' s boys, For early and late must the prepite toil, But rarely if ever the page he soils. Though his eyes are upon it his mind is away To where books are a nuisance and toil is all play ; But this sweet dream of pleasure, too soon it is o ' er, And the book claims attention (just the same as before). The hardest task is to find a way To go to the dance and recite next day. For justice tempered with mercy ' s alloys. Is meted to all who are Prince ' s boys. The Greek is so hard and the Latin so long, The pick is too dull and the roots are too strong ; Algebra is naught but an infernal machine, And physics of the mazes are the worst ever seen ; And what is the reason all these studies deep. Should come at a time when he most needs sleep ? Then Doctor ' s voice, sounding so loud in his ear, Bids his heart over burdened the proctor to fear; And always he must to that person go, In quest of permission for the dance or the show, To beware of infringing on collegiate ' s rights, And always remember to stay in nights, And never a theologue to imitate — To let lessons go for the sake of a date. For this is the boon that he enjoys. Who is outside the pale of Prince ' s boys. The Doctor admired boys who tried To cultivate their social side. But the girls in town were only a few, And would just for the upper classmen do ; And so, one morning, did Doctor announce That all of the preps must their girls renounce. The mandate was hard, but it must be obeyed ; So each prepite relinquishes his fair little maid. So over his table the poor prep leans, And of life ' neath college skies he dreams. All blank is the look in his weary eyes. And heavy and long are his weary sighs. All joy to the day when Old Father Time Tuns up the glass, and starts the chime. That shall ring in the new and scatter the old, As leaves that in autumn have lost their hold. But the days just before us are the hardest to bear. And the ones beyond them are always most fair; But come as they may or come as they will, They ' ll find that we ' re waiting their coming still.

KM THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS TANDING at the gateway of the twentieth century, and, just before we bid farewell to the most remark- able epoch in the history of the world so far as the advancement of civilization and rapid development are concerned, we pause, and with retrospective glance sweep across the ages of the past, inquire of the efficient forces at work, and in what power the nations of the earth will triumph. From the time of man ' s first disobedience and the fruit of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste brought death into the world and all our woe, the poison of that act has pulsated through the veins of the human race with unabated fury, de- veloping all the passions to which Satan and his host are heir. Disobedience, envy, murder follow each other, and downward is the trend of humanity, Brother rises against brother, tribe against tribe, nation strives with nation; might is right, and there seem none that doeth righteousness. Onward sweeps the tide of human events, and farther from his original state plunges man into the barren desert of vice and supersti- tion. Selfishness incarnate sways the sceptre and the nations bleed at every pore. Life is held at little cost, and in the onward flight of time empires rise and fall, slain by their own wantonness. Here and there along the pathway of time nation after nation has arisen, proudly flaunting itself before the world, exercising the royal prerogative and fully believing in its permanent sway. Yet the old insidious disease of envy, lust and greed brought swift destruction. Amid the crumblings of republics, ineffectual remedies and disappointed hopes, man stood helpless, but to his mind came back the promise of the tree of life whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. To-day we look out upon the world and note a growing change. New life permeates society, civilization has rapidly advanced and the human race is on the upward road toward perfection. We seek to know the forces which have wrought in the bringing about of this hopeful condition, and ask, Will they be sufficient ultimately to heal the nations, or will they prove inefficient to save? Methinks there comes from liberty-loving breasts the response, liberty is the solution of the question, and in the light of it will all the nations triumph. Liberty! That principle, implanted in every bosom, which in its struggles for recognition has dethroned kings, overturned empires and waded through fields of blood, until in the pure air of freedom man has found his proper sphere! Liberty! In whose atmosphere free thought and speech find place, and the soul worships according to its own dictates and under whose banner such wonderful strides in civilization have been made ! Liberty ! The old battle cry of our forefathers, who gave their lives to attain it, and who nave left to us the rich legacy of its fruits ! Liberty or death echoing from the isles of the sea as the oppressed rise in their might and throw off the shackles! 0, liberty, what sweeter boon can come to mankind than to stand in thy full light unmanacled? Such is our apostrophe, and we have not sufficient ground for high claims in her behalf, when in contrast we see despotic powers far beneath us in civilization ? Dare we then say that in the light of liberty and political progress alone the nations of the earth will reach their highest development? No! Fair Goddess of Liberty, veil thy face, while we, beneath the surface, look and see that men ' s hearts are unchanged; that the same old spirit of selfishness, lust and greed run rampant! Trusts and monop- olies, tyrants, place their iron heels upon the necks of thou- sands of unfortunates. Capital and labor in open war, vice and crime in gigantic form, slay their victims by the thousands and gnaw at the vitals of the nation. We turn aside from the submerged tenths and the cries of helpless women and children are lost in the loud sounding odes to liberty. Fair banner of freedom, what crimes are committed beneath thy folds in the name of liberty? Yes, essential to the develop- ment of the race is the atmosphere of liberty and efficient in its helpfulness, but not sufficient in itself to heal. But there is another mighty agency at work which has been the great lever lifting mankind out of ignorance and giving exercise to every power of the mind. What agency can be compared with the diffusion of knowledge in its efficiency to elevate ? Popular education is fostered by liberty, and these are largely dependent upon each other. In propor- tion to the dissemination of intelligence among the people, have nations risen to a higher strata of civilization. Education is the iconoclast that shatters old barbarous customs and changes the whole structure of society. Before the advance whose learning and civilization was the wonder of the world, of learning bigotry and sectarianism has given way to tolera- the impress of which is felt even in our century, and lo ! the tion and open-hearted philanthropy.

In the light of that life man sees himself and recognizes the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. As this principle is infused into the life of nations they are drawn together in common cause and talk of peace and friendly al- liance. Men everywhere are finding Him who was set for the heal- ing of the nations, and from the depths of liberated souls and enlightened consciences exclaim with full assurance, Thou art sufficient. We need but cast a hasty glance over Christendom and heathendom to arrive at the unmistakable conclusion that the peoples of earth are being drawn into closer relations as they come into the fuller light and knowledge of the God-Man, and through the portals of the on-coming century we look for the time when we can say with full assurance : Out of the shadow of night The world moves into light ; It is day-break everywhere. ' ' — W. H. Dbrr. 84 THE GOAL OF MAN HE universe is the handiwork of God. Thought ascends the shining stairway of wisdom to the realms of the infinite. The grass nourishes the flesh, the insect, the bird ; the bird the animal and the animal the man; the root digs in the earth and then the plant, the leafy beauty, fragrant blossom and fruit. Science glories in the evolution of the grass, the plant, the tree; in the testimony of the rock, the blazonry of the heavens, the won- drous deep. In the music of the brook, the roar of the tempest, the rush of worlds, the crumbling of matter, the ap- prehension of mind and the reality of the soul — in everything there is, we read power, wisdom and beauty. Unto all listen- ing ears creation pours forth her divine harmonies, for imma- nent in it, emblazoned on it and seered in its very backbone, we find perfection in nature, an impulsive tendency to the perfect in man and the eternal perfectness of the infinite God. Listen to nature ' s chants. You have stood on Niagara ' s brink, seen the falling immensity, with its leaping, roaring, seething foam ; heard its thunder, felt the immeasurable rush of power — and sublimity is the keynote of the song. Take a leaf; we know its composition, coloring and veined structure; and yet, of the millions, can man create even one ? Climb to the stars, see those mighty orbs hurled, like pygmies, swifter than a bullet without the deviation of a second for years, and yet, each one is but an atom in the sea of immensity. Once again, look on the external, see the cloud-capped moun- tains, the valleys, plains and grottoes, the rustling forests, murmuring waters and raging seas; hear heaven ' s artillery as the all shaking thunder rocks the trees, rocks and hills in its mighty cradle; fly to the over-hanging worlds, the stars, planets and satellites fastened on nothing and then to the sun — the perpetual reservoir of light, heat and power — and per- 85 fection is the cadence of each. Yes ! in every phase of crea- tion, perfection of degree and kind is dominant, step by step the divine evolution of God ascends ; the lower are subservient to the higher, the atomic particles of past disintegration are the present and future molecular activity. From the minutest organisms, the infusorial animals, the ant ' s wisdom, the mathematical bee, migrating fish and bird, the beast and the sagacious brute — from all, eminate perfection — till man, the crown of glory in the animal creation is evolved. Such is the objective and can man imitate it, can the genius of the world create it, can the artist paint the tempest, can tongue or pen portray the divine strains? No! our highest, noblest and sublimest efforts fall for short and this Will-of-the-wisp laughs at our impotent zeal. Hear the songs of men. The mountains of the past have crumbled and are the soil of to-day ; present molecular force is but a recombination of an apparent pristine decay ; chemical forces build to-day and destroy to-morrow. The bones of our fore-fathers are the flesh and blood of the present, past life is but the germ of to-day ' s life. What is life? The scientist says it is the essence of being and from that essence to its source the chasm is infinite. It is more than the fount of being. It is the quintessence of perfection. In man, life is the cause of an endless, perfect beyond; an artificer of means to an end. Take man in the animal sense, see that potent vitality marshal atoms and create bones, ligaments, tissues, muscles, nerves, organs of circulation, of digestion, respira- tion and the senses. To this primal structure add intellect, understanding, reason, susceptibility and will. Again, under God ' s ascending evolution, superadd this the ethical faculties with the soul and we have man, the image of God, in all his harmony, complexity or relation, function and cause. And from the perfection of creation in cause pass to its effect on man. Man is the mean between nature and God. An atmos- phere of perfection envelopes him. And can that harmony fail to create an answering response in the internal? Does man know, can he see the inward ideal without the external? Would God have created that objective melody and then not given man faculties for its perception and attainment in self? Those powers exist for reason shows their actuality. They are inherent in self, and in the same ratio as we see the perfect so also do we strive for its attainment. Men uncon- sciously are impelled by it. It may be the perfect in the lofty or degraded sense but tis perfection, in its own sphere, one the less. The imperfect and apparent abnormal does exist, but -- the form of judgment lies in the general more than in the in- pedias of the world; once the artist scraped the bark, now the dividual phenomena. When the abnormal exists the normal canvas teems with the perfection of life ; once a mud image has been vitiated by environment or some external force. The was man ' s ideal, now the living shafts of gleaming marble rational soul recognizes, as inherent in creation, the radical tower to the sky.

Slowly and majestically the sun of the nineteenth cen- tury is setting in a blaze of glory and soon will have sunk beneath the gloomy waves of the great sea of eternity. The twilight upon the hills of time is slowly fad- ing before the long shadows of the evening of this century. The gentle evening winds are whispering of hopes and fears, of opportunities, of lives made and marred, of progress, of degradation and despair. How sad, yet how glorious to con- template the closing hours of one of the greatest centuries of the world ' s history. What progress, what great world- changes have been witnessed in this century! And as a fitting climax to such a glorious period of time, the year now passing has been fraught with events of the greatest significence. The life of a nation is determined by the lives and deeds of its individuals. This is also true of the literary society. And why should it not be so? The society is a miniature re- public, and it has the same hopes and fears, the same aspira- tions. From remotest antiquity, bards have sung the praises of nations. The oaten reed of the shepherd bard, the lute, the harp, the timbrel, and the crusader ' s trumpet have rend- ered homage to love, conquest and progress. But the world has grown wiser. The knightly joust has given place to elo- quence and subtle thought. Would that a kind muse would breathe gently upon the shifting strings of the fierce joy of mental combat and of victories in the forum. A retrospect of the past year presents many encouraging features, induces many pleasing thoughts. As we shall look back over the pathway we shall see only the bright sunglow upon the hill tops, not the dark gloomy vales below; we shall see only the roses by the wayside, not the thorns. It is true the increase in membership has not been so large, but the new members are of sterling quality, not mere hangers on. The parasites sap the life from the tree, and in the same way the society has its parasites that absorb the vitality from it. They are a very disheartening feature in society work. The increased interest in debating is a great source of con- 93 gratulation to Philosophians. This is due to a new feature of the society — the Philo Debating Club. The club meets every Thursday evening. In the meantime each member feels it incumbent upon himself to study the question thoroughly, and as a result highly interested discussions take place at the meetings. The questions for debate are of such a character as to necessitate the closest watch on the current news of the day. The stirring incidents of the present time afford abun- dant material for debate. The bitter antagonistic spirit that formerly existed between the societies has died out and from its ashes has sprung Phoenix-like a new spirit, broader and more liberal in its con- ception, and which instead of devoting time and energy on external features, promotes a healthy internal progress. The true aim of a literary society should never be the acquisition of a large membership, but rather one that will work faith- fully and more harmoniously. Our lives are not measured by years, months, and days, but by the deeds we have done. Philo has now weathered the storms of forty years, and her sons are scattered far and wide. She has helped in no small degree in the building of that vast fabric, character. Throughout many a home, the radiant sunlight of her influence is diffused; on many a plat- form is heard the eloquence that first found voice on her ros- trum. Many a young man who has been stirred to action by the whispering of ambition ' s voice has had his dreams real- ized by her influence; many a noble life has been consecrated beneath the shadow of her banner. It was on her rostrum perhaps that many who so admirably filled their positions in life first saw through the veil of the future the obligations and responsibilities of life and its grand possibilities, and received in a measure the strength and power essential of a successful career. The past has gone forever — Forever! How many visions of shattered daydreams and blasted hopes, of wasted oppor- tunities and golden hours does that word bring to us. The future lies fair before us. Let us take our lives in our teeth and plunge bravely into the conflict, and if we make a gallant struggle, if we fall we shall be borne to the lofty halls of Walhalla and have as companions life ' s heroes who have gone before us. 94 KNOW THYSELF O the student of human nature there is no matter more difficult than to locate the individual, nor any ques- tion harder to answer than Who am I ? with its correlate query, Who are you ? If these two conundrums could be clearly solved, many of the problems of the waning century would pass away as cirrus clouds before the driving wind. It is of paramount importance that each one settle the ques- tion as far as possible for himself. It is the one thing to us here on this mundane sphere. Though the way be difficult and ofttimes unpleasant, when once the precious goal is sighted no one will regret having made his own the motto Know Thyself. The multiplicity of relations makes the matter more com- plex. Suppose we imagine that each relation be represented by a cord extended between the two objects related. Picture to yourself the network within this building to-day — kinfolk, friend, classmate, society brother, college mate, fellow citizen of town, county, state, and union, fellow Anglo Saxon, fellow Christian, fellow man, and so up to God. From each one leads a tiny silver cord. Through these cords course streams of love and life and idea. From each and all do we imbibe, and throw our quota into the mighty sweep of the many channeled current. Just as the physiologist even of this latter day finds it no easy task to designate accurately the seat of pain, so we find the inflowing and outpouring of these myriad streams so mixed and mingled, both within the person and along the lines of connection that it is virtually impossible to tell just what part of us is borrowed from associates, and just how much lies within the magic circle of originality. The world of humanity is a great library with many differ- ent shelves and alcoves, corners and nooks. Reach up, take down a volume and read. Open up the book of your own life. Though the process may be painful, separate the uncut leaves. Read it line by line from the title page to finis. There is many a paragraph you have written there yourself, either in deed or thought, that long ago has slipped your memory ; and every- thing looks different under the cool glance of an introspective 95 eye. Down deep in the hidden recesses of your own heart are thoughts and motives and mental deeds that have never seeu the light of day, that have never been called up even before the tribunal of your own conscience. Sometimes, aye, oft- times, we shrink from the spectral image of our mind as he ramps in ghostly fury or gloats with diabolical pleasure over some deadly physic crime. Had we laid the ghost at once, by finding out and asserting our true self in the matter, all would have been well : and when the hand of the will had cleared away the weeds, briars and brush of ignorance and hereditary and acquired sin, the warm sun of self-searching would have fallen full upon the spot and dried up the unsight- ly damp and mould, and caused to spring up the green grass of virtue and usefulness. We are disgusted at the duplicity and insolent bossism of a Quay or a Croker, yet we deceive ourselves just as badly as they deceive the sovereign people of the state. We exercise our power over self in as arrogant a manner as the most pol- ished politician could assume. It has been said that it is im- possible to live in society without a certain amount of decep- tion. Whether this be false has never been proven by a living illustration ; but if there is any place where deceit should be cast aside it is before the altar one ' s own soul of soul ' s. You do not think that you deceive yourself, do you ? Oh no ! A false position once assumed must be sustained. If you deceive another man your own object is to keep him from discovering the fact, so you have labored to keep yourself under a false im- pression. Have you ever made yourself believe that a certain thing was right because you wanted to do it ? or that it was wrong because you did not care to indulge ? This type of self- ignorance is the most dangerous of all, because it drowns the voice of conscience and leaves the mariner at the mercy of the wild winds of passion and desire. Do you thoroughly analyze every motive before it turns to action ? We hear men say I am not responsible for my mo- tives, when in all probability they have no clear idea of the impulse that leads them to action ; and if they did they would be so disgusted at its littleness and meanness that it would be torn from their hearts by the roots. Therecomesa man you ' ve quarreled with. You say to yourself I ' ll not speak to him it will lower my dignity. And you really think this to be the motive that prompts you to the action ; but the all-seeing Eye looks deeper and sees what you might have seen — that it is malice and spite and envy that cause you to act as you do. Within out minds there is a certain chamber — ' tis a judg- ment hall. Before the dais on which the worthy judge is seated open windows high and wide. The upper half is clear as pol- ished crystal, but the lower is tinted the color of the rose. Through the upper he sees the deeds of others, through the lower views our own. This state of affairs causes many a wrong decision by the judge, and we. blindfolded by undue and uneducated self-love, wander too near the lair of that man- killing beast called self-conceit, and we perish ignominiously. All around us lie the skeletons of men who have been destroved ... by this evil beast. And yet how necessary it is that we have a proper appreciation of ourselves ! Pope tells us in no weak, vacillating voice, That true self-love and social are the same ; That virtue only makes our bliss below, And all knowledge is ourselves to know. Time has proven the poet ' s words correct. Self-culture and social success grow side by side ; ignorance and war, education and the brotherhood of man are inseparably connected; and all the knowledge of all the ages can still be condensed to the one word — man. We are but preparatorians in the school of self. Here we cannot expect to reach the hundred mark, but at that last great commencement day we will graduate with honor or dishonor, and be ushered into the unknown world of the eternal beyond. Then will the Great King call us before his Titan throne of jasper and gold, and point us with relentless finger to his wondrous book of records ; to our expectant, anxious ears will come the awful and sublime command. Read and know thyself. ' ' H. K. B., ' CO. 97 THE DIVINE METHOD OF CULTURE Life is but a means unto an end: that end, Beginning, mean and end to all things — God. Life is real and serious. Life is a sacred stewardship. To live in the true sense is to inbreathe God, and the fulness of life is measured by the fulness of God. We live not in years nor in figures on the dial. He lives most who fulfills best the end of life ; and the end of all true living is a Christ- formed character. He who lives for anything other lives in vain . Being both human and divine, Christ presents the highest, holiest manhood, that ever held mortal fellowship. He is humanity ' s ideal and toward Him the whole creation is ever moving. He is God ' s representative man. If there was any- thing in the sublime character of Jesus impossible to man ; if He, as a human being was what any other man cannot be; if for His attainments he had hidden resources of power which other of mankind have not ; if He did not face the same conflict in this world of evil, which every human being must face, — then He is not humanity ' s Savior and we must cast our eyes else- where for the perfect man. Therefore life is also attainment, and to apprehend in character that for which we have been appre- hended of God is true culture. There has been in the hearts of all peoples, at all times, the innate feeling after God. Though very crude in the low- est races, yet assuredly there, deepening and growing clear as the degree of culture is heightened. But the progress Godivard has been immeasurably slow. The patience of God is infinite. His soul of love is in travail until He shall see a Christ-imaged race and be satisfied. This delay of progress cannot be laid to God ' s account. It results only because man chooses human means to attain his divine end. His method of culture is earthly and that which is of the earth cannot give birth to that which is from above. Human voices of worldly wisdom are arising every- where from earth ' s schools of culture, declaring to man, that it is only by searching thou canst find out God. While from the lips of the loveliest flower of manhood and Godli- ness, that ever bloomed on this sphere, falls the gentle com- mand to follow and obey. The sage absorbed in his deep abstractions and generalizations, announces that the clear in head only can see God. While the voice from heaven lovingly sweet declares that it is the pure in heart and obedient in spirit. There is a human, and there is a divine method of culture. Whole-hearted surrender and obedience to the truth known, the one condition for larger truth, — this is the divine method of culture. Only when a man ' s will and nature are wholly given over to the truth he is seeking, to be what that truth would make of him, is he ready for higher truth. The world by wisdom alone cannot know God. Though a man give his whole life to searching after truth ; though he consume his days and nights in this seeking ; though he be a marvel in in- tellectual capacity ; though he thrill the world with his witchery words, and multitudes hang upon his lips — if self be the master of his life and his will unsurrounded, that man will see God awry, and the image of culture he will present to the world 98 must be, of consequence, woefully distorted. Utter self re- nunciation and the desire to be what truth will make one be, regardless of all consequences, is the first condition of dis- cipleship in the heavenly school of culture. He who was the fulness of God bodily and who spake as never man spake, attained His perfection not by letters, for He never learned ; not from sages, for He never sat at their feet, but by obeying with unquestioned loyalty the heavenly voice within Him. And just as the Son of man became per- fect truth, incarnate only in obedience to the slightest motion of God ' s will, so every one on God ' s great earth must do likewise, if he would rear a character that shall glow with sacred beauty and abide when the elements of time shall have been dissolved. The way of the cross is God ' s method of culture. It is the abhorrent selfishness in man that dims his eyes from celestial visions of truth. Verily the heavens do groan being burdened with treasures of wisdom, ready to be discovered to the pure- hearted. The Son of man hath many things to say but we can- not hear them now, God is speaking but man is seldom listening, his ears being dulled of h earing, by his vain philosophies. He that willeth to do the will of the eternal shall know, and only he. And, furthermore, as long as this world is not under the dominion of the righteousness of God, will the truth unfold- ing characters suffer from the hands of an error-loving race; and the more highly wrought and purified a character is, the keener will be its sufferings from the wickedness of the wicked. But sacrifice and suffering in behalf of struggling humanity is the divine method of character building. God ' s university of culture stands on Calvary ' s brow, and His disciples sit amidst the shades of Gethsemane. And yet that soul that forfeits itself in doing God ' s will, absorbed in loving devotion to mankind, though it must needs endure the cruel piercings of new crosses and the bloody agonies of other gardens, nevertheless will it bud and bloom with such beauty and unearthliness as is only wafted hither- ward by the spotless angels, and it shall bear away in its in- nocence some of the guilt of a fallen race, and make it easier for men to live right. Oh, sincerely to nail one ' s will to Christ ' s cross of self- crucifixion ; to be willing to cast the kingdoms of this world with all their enticing glory behind one ' s back; to walk on amidst the darkest mysteries with unwavering trust; to endure unspeakable sufferings from a selfish, greed-getting world, rather than surrender one iota of truth; to make one ' s life a constant communion with God and be so clean from the de- filement of the flesh as to absorb eternal truth at every pore of one ' s being — this — this is to yield to the divine method of culture, and he who follows it, howsoever lowly he maybe, or whatever his environment, will attain unto a character pos- sessed with a divine power, than whi ch there is none more resistless, an influence than which there is none more subtle, a beauty than which there is none more sublime. Unto him shall be granted the privilege of being a true maker of civili- zations, a divine reformer of nations, and a saviour of man- kind. And he shall go on with unveiled face and vision un- dimmed until finally what is mortal shall be swallowed up of light and he shall see Him face to face, who is unseen to mortal vision and shall be like Him, for he shall see Him as He is. —Cyril Haas. • i., INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE PH1LO vs. CLIO N June third an excellent opportunity was afforded to test the relative powers of the two literary so- cieties in those things which the societies as such, and we may also add the college, exists, viz: analysis and exposition of thought, argument and persuasion. By a provision of the faculty a beautiful silver cup was to be awarded to the society declared victorious in debate by competent and disinterested judges. For many weeks prior to the contest the members of both societies labored with unabating zeal that the coveted trophy might rest beneath the banner of their own beloved hall. The preliminary debates were eagerly contested and all anxiously awaited the final announcement, which was that Clio would send upon the rostrum as her representatives on the negative, John H. Neuhauser, George F. Scheese, and Robert Z. Burns. While Philo felt equally confident in trusting the cap- ture of the prize to Henry K. Barbe, Daniel J. Snyder, and Harvey D. Hoover on the affirmative. On the all important night the chapel was crowded to the doors, many being turned away because of lack of room. Dr. Yutzy officiated as chairman, and, in opening the exercises, reviewed the action of the faculty and expressed the hope that the interest exhibited on this occasion might serve as a stimu- lus to greater efforts and grander achievements in the future. He then called the first speaker. As each speaker arose to present his views, the deep interest and intense earnestness were plainly visible. Almost every point was received with cheers by its supporters, and it was a relief to all when the judges announced the following decision : We, the judges, appointed to decide the merits of the argument pro and con upon the question, Resolved, That an alliance for mutual protection and assistance between England and the United States is desirable and should be effected, have rendered our decision unanimously in favor of the nega- tive.

THEOLOGICAL HISTORY N view of this unprecedented opportunity afforded the Theological Department, in view of the fact that these pages have, without solicitation, been set aside for this noble purpose (quod vide), we sit upon our throne of dignity and, with perfect impunity, with exemption from the slightest apprehension, with inexpressible gratitude, do we behold our theological gems adding their finishing touch to the present edition now open before you. We would not turn over pages of history with which you, no doubt, are more familiar than we, but bend hand and brain to the speedy run of some events of this theological cycle as they pass in pano- rama before our clouded vision. We came back in the fall, some on time and some after time. Without regard for time we kept coming, until the num- ber was eighteen. Four had graduated. We didn ' t blame them for doing this, for some do it every year. Mr. Mac Laughlin, in order to continue the mission work which he had begun during vacation, decided to finish his course at the Chi- cago Lutheran Seminary. Thus five had left us, but eight new names were added to the book of rnatriculance, which left us a margin of three from the exchange. The year ' s work began with three instructors. Dr. Focht had been secured to teach Homiletics till the arrival of the new President. The Doctor pursued the work after the regular fashion with great satisfaction to all seminarians. The rest of the teaching fell to the lot of Drs. Yutzy and Dimm. Before the close of the first term President Heisler came and bent his energies to the revi- sion of the course. There being now an additional regular professor in the faculty, much could be done in this direction that was not possible hitherto. The classes were separated as far as possible. The Hebrew and Greek classes had been so arranged before, and we had been enjoying a systematic pro- gressive course in this work by classes. Some changes were made in different respects, and a schedule posted. The Juniors were excused from Practical Homiletics to spend their time in Theory and Analyzing Sermons. After next year, even with the instructors now in this department, the classes will not re- cite together, except Middlers and Seniors in Homiletics. Hard work has been the watchword throughout the year, though the signal has not been distinct alike to all. To do what is expected in study, exegesis, outlines, writing theses and sermons and collateral reading, to meet the professors ' ap- proval, means work. New studies have been added of great profit and interest, and the old ones h ave taken new form. The professors have a little more chance to specialize, and they are taking advantage of what little opportunity is afforded them. They come before us with careful preparation, evincing by the presentation of their subject that no little time has been spent in study before their appearing. It is a very uncomfortable feeling to feel that you have flunked. The example set by the professor is so very different. In addition to this, a record is kept of attendance and recitation. Theologs ought to go on 117 their honor. Though they wouldn ' t go very far, but they are all human, and are liable, too, to find a deluded comfort in absence and a fancied grace in declining. They are only, per- chance, a step higher than when classical students. In accordance with a resolution of the Board, Juniors have not been sent out to preach (some have preached, however, without being sent). There is no reason but to commend the action of the Board with respect to this matter. The Juniors likewise say the amen. With the work they have they think they are not in need of preaching appointments in order to be busy. The rule has been very carefully observed throughout the year. The evident beneficial results assure the continuance of this kind of observance. This is but a meager, disjointed compend of this year ' s events in our department. The endeavors manifest in this scription are not designed to reflect discredit on the work of the past, nor to ventilate unduly what has characterized this year in our department. They are simply to state a few of the facts that have spiced our musings and increased our joy in considering our present privileges. What glory may in any way crown the efforts of this department we know would be but hailed with delight by all the faithful ones that have gone before. All the good that may attend the way of the seminary here comes in answer to the prayers of those as well as of the friends and laborers still abiding. This department has, during the past year, widened her sphere of recognition, and surely not undeservedly, either. Faithful labor must be rewarded, and dare we doubt that it will? If the Board, professors and students work faithfully together, as it seems not presumptu- ous to say they have this year, what may not be achieved, what may not be anticipated ? The space is filled. The object is attained. We have been as particular as time would permit, but we don ' t worry about mistakes, for we ' d be very much surprised to hear that some one has read what is here. j e. 118 G. km ' Ate.

D. m HE subject of this sketch, Rev. Peter Born, D. D., entered into his eternal rest on Maj- 23, 1899, aged 78 years, 10 months and 10 days. He was born in Black Hole Valley, Lycoming county, Pa., on July 3, 1S20. The early part of his life was passed on the farm, from which lie went to Pennsyl- vania College, at Gettysburg, Pa., where he graduated in [848. He also graduated from the Theological Seminary in 1850. His marriage, on Marcha, 1851, to Miss Sarah Hill, of Hughes- ville, Pa., was richly blessed to him in increase of happiness and usefulness. He was ordained by the East Pennsylvania Synod on Sept. 29, 1851, and became associate pastor with Rev. J. P. Shindel at Sunbury until the death of Rev. Shindel, when he took charge of the entire pastorate. His work here was very suc- cessful. In 1S59 the establishment of the Missionary Institute at Selin ' s Grove, Pa., was determined upon, under the leadership of Rev. B. Kurtz, D. D., LL. D. Rev. Born was called to the office of Principal of the Classical Department. Here he was associated with Rev. H. Zeigler, D. D., who was at the head of the Theological Department. He filled the position of Prin- cipal with eminent success as a classical teacher until 1881, when, upon the resignation of Dr. Zeigler, he was elected Superintendent and Professor of Theology. This position he filled until a few years since, but he still continued to be asso- ciated with the work of the institution, his last work being in- struction in Homiletics, until a few months before his death. In every subject on which he gave instruction, he was rec- ognized as master not only of that subject, but as well of the art of teaching. The careful self-preparation to which he sub- jected himself was followed by demands on his pupils for thoroughness — which produced most excellent results. In all his work in the Theological Department, the center and spring was the Word of God. He honored this Word by knowing it, by believing it, by obeying it in his personal life, and ever exalting it before the students as of highest import- ance to the Gospel Ministry. Plain and simple in method and expression, he ever im- pressed men as sincere and honest in his convictions, as a 125 man of truth, whose care was to know and assert only the truth. In his personal relations he was always kind and sympa- thetic, and interested in the welfare of the students. His was a gracious personality, blessing men by his contact with them. Always earnest in what had to do with the success of the institution, he was very successful in advancing her financial interests. Much of the endowment now enjoyed by the school was secured by his personal solicitation. In accordance with his usual care and prudence in business matters, his constant effort was to secure for investment a fund adequate to the work contemplated, and to begin no new work until financial re- sources were provided. For forty years his prayer and labor were for this school, and when his life ended the school lost one of its truest and most unselfish friends and supporters. From these three, Rev. B. Kurtz, D. D., LL. D., Rev. H. Zeigler, D. D., and Rev. P. Born, D. D., the institution got its life, and through them it secured the true place it now holds in the heart of the Church. Their labor was a labor of love, and God blessed them in it all. His home life was blessed in the companionship of Mrs. Born, a true, loving, helpful associate in his whole life ; ever a support to him in his public work. Fight years ago she passed to rest. Many recall with gratitude and love their gra- cious ministrations to them during their student life. This which they havedoneshould be spoken as a memorial of them. —J. B.

Focht is a man of fine personal appearance, decided and instructive address and scholarly attainments. As an orator and theologian he is above average ability. The influence he exerts over those with whom he labors is strong and lasting. Trinity Lutheran Church and Susquehanna University congratulate themselves on obtaining Rev. Focht as pastor. ■if ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS President M. H. Fischer. Vice-President E. H. Diehi.. Secretary I. H. Wagner. Treasurer G. A. Livingston.

Thus we find that the department of athletics in Susquehanna is no exception to this rule. As we look back over the achievements of Sus- quehanna in the line of athletics they may seem rather scant in the amount of praise and laudation. But in our few years ' existence as a college we can feel proud of the high standard to which our sturdy braves have advanced the banner of the Maroon and Orange. Every event must have a beginning, and we have had our first year ' s experience in the athletic world and now feel ourselves competent to take our place without any hesitation among colleges of our own size and standard. It was in ' 92, when known as Missionary Institute, that we first launched out into the mysteries of that greatest and most popular of all college sports — football — and received our in- itiatory degrees of this sport. Steadily and very manifestly did the untiring energy of the promoters of this game reveal itself, until in the fall of ' 97 we had attained so high a position that we felt, in order to maintain it, we must have the services of a competent coach, as the science of the game is a very essential part. The results of this needed step are visibly shown, and since this accession to our forces, reveal the honor with which Susquehanna ' s sons have upheld their Alma Mater. Often and sometimes fiercely have we coped with colleges far superior to our own in numbers and in fame, and quite often have we come off the gory field crowned with the glorious gar- land of victory. To the honor and loyalty of her brave sons can be attributed the great renown won for Susquehanna, and she is destined yet to do things mighty in valor. Our career in inter-collegiate baseball has been equally as short, but with as much success as we have attained on the gridiron. The spring of ' 9S marks our advent into the inter- collegiate contests in baseball. We met during this year many of our sister colleges and had the proud distinction of passing through the season without sustaining a single defeat. Since this glorious advent we have made steady strides in this branch of athletics, and are by means of hard work hoisting our ban- ner in a midst of glory. Not only do we participate in these two college sports, but 149 body. The proposed gymnasium, which now is an assured fact, will no doubt be a great stimulus to athletic contests, and with this we can hope to have that great winter sport — basket- ball — carried on with greater success. In cycling and tennis we claim to be quite proficient, and although we have not had any contests in these lines of sport, yet they are being pursued with great earnestness. With the accession of a new commodious athletic field there is no doubt but that in a short time track athletics will claim a share of our attention. A tennis tournament is a much needed attrac- tion and no doubt will be arranged for the coming spring. As we look over the past few years of the history of Sus- quehanna we cannot help but realize that the advancement of the college in numbers and popularity ' can be attributed to the great interest manifested in the manly sports of the college, and with so bright a future for athletics in Susquehanna there is no doubt but that we shall prosper.

Some things might not have been and some might have been in the history of Susquehanna University ' s gridiron braves that would make it look the brighter, and to future readers more readable, but the night of November 21st, for a time, at least, drove all unpleasant memories far away; for then did the husky upholders of the Orange and Maroon valiantly battle with that too oft elusive foe — a spread dainty enough to tickle the palate of Jove ' s fastidious spouse, and big enough to give to all that blissful feeling of satisfaction that makes the whole world kin. Mine Host Arbrogast outdid himself that night, and to the boys, who through many days and weeks had denied themselves all luxuries, the feast was tempting indeed. There was nothing lacking that should have been there and nothing there that should have been lacking ; good will and appetites were free and equal; the former was not wasted nor was the latter unsatisfied. The bumps and bruises that had fallen to the lot of each man were all forgotten at this time, when the subject immediately present required all the attention possible. Even Jack forgot for a moment to ask Ellic any questions, Herb cracked a joke that everybody laughed at, and Nick had nothing to say. But, sad to relate, inconsiderate fate had allowed but one stomach to each, and at last all gathered their pedal extremities from under the table and repaired to the parlor, where Manager Wingard announced a testimony meeting, which Coach Hare opened with a few timely remarks, which showed the boys that in spite of some reverses they yet had much upon which they could look back with a sincere feeling of satisfaction ; that their efforts had been far from vain. Capt. Nick followed with one of h is ever-memorable addresses (which is one of Nick ' s chie f characteristics), in which he spoke encouragingly both of the past and the future : By learning the lessons taught by the past we may hope to attain better things in the future. After this each one was called upon to give expression to what few ideas had not been crowded out by the experience in the adjoining room. When all was over three rousing cheers were given lor all concerned, and sixteen happy, well-filled manipulators of the oblate spheroidal section of swine skin wended their way to the dormitories to end the night in dreams of victory mounted on turkey and plum pudding. Thus was and ended the banquet of the team of 1899. 1S7 S. U. TRACK TEAM President, W. L. Price. Vice President Wellington J. Zechman Secretary E. F. Ott. Treasurer Charles Daniel Gable.

He closed his eyes for a moment. While thoughts in steady stream Passed by his mental vision; And then he dreamed this dream. Beyond the college campus There lies a goodly spot ; ' Tis there that Stabley dwelleth, Gable, and likewise Ott ; And others, whom to mention, Would tax my space and time ; And further, to be candid, I fear their names won ' t rhyme. The theologue was dreaming A dream that had its charm : That he was coming out from town, A basket on his arm. And on his right was Gable, And on his left was Diehl, And Harman went before him, And Paul was at his heel. And thus they sang together, Ours is a happy life ! Ah. luckless is the theologue Who has no loving wife ! But then the dreamer wakened. And tears his eyes did fill ; Alas, that it was but a dream, A dream of Studentville ! M. F.

AN EVENING REVERIE TO SOME ONE i BY EVERY STUDENT) When without the wind is blowing ' , but all within is still, I would send my thoughts a flying to the Old Dominion ' s hills. And I ' d sit down beside you as the hours passed away, Just t listen ti your talking , without a word to say. You would tell me of the home life, its joys and sorrows too; And just to sit and listen would be all I ' d have to do: You would sing a song of springtime, and I ' d turn the music then. But in thought we ' d both be wandering through some mystic flower glen Where the birds were ever singing, and the flowers bloomed so free, And e ' en the moments stayed their passing for the sake of you and me. And we ' d sit beside the waters of some distant mountain stream Whose voice was as a murmur like the music of a dream. But when the song was over and the music died away, I would draw you down beside me (You would not say me nay |, And I ' d tell you of the things I ' d seen and the little things I ' d done; Of the struggles on the gridiron where S. U. the victory won. And we ' d talk about the nations — of Johnny Bull ' s poor broken ram And the circumstance of Aggie scrapping with his Uncle Sam. Would we talk about Philosophy, Psychology and Greek? Would there ever be a moment of Trigonometry to speak? Of Latin and of German, of Calculus and Rome. Or where ' tis very likely mankind first found a home? No, we ' d both be far too busy for such idle talk as that, A jolly joke would better fit in the space beneath our hat. But tis late and I must study or Prof. ' 11 hit me all too soon And the only answer I will give is, I ' m not prepared this afternoon. So now good-night, sweet far away, wish me luck if Proffy ' s lance Hit- vmrs sincerely anywhere in this infernal Greek advance. - R. Z. B. 178 OUR COEDS Great Jupiter, look down on us And help to stop this awful fuss. Send Paris with his apple bright, And in his umpire ' s gown bedight, Let him before our coeds stand, The fairest maids in all the land; And settle, if he really can, For ' tis not in the mind of man, Which one doth merit Beauty ' s prize For fairest face and brightest eyes. There are fair blondes and dark brunettes, Dish washing maids and pampered pets; All on a level gathered here From ev ' ry place, from ev ' ry sphere. Minerva must her honors share, For they are wise we do declare ; And ev ' ry lassie here you see Is quick, so quick at repartee That when we try to meddle in, Then riseth up a fearful din ; And after that it ' s talk, talk, talk, Till in despair we walk, walk, walk. ' Tis thus we find it hard to choose; If one we take the rest we lose. With all their faults, with all their fame, They better us boys just the same. If girls are ladies, which They are, Their presence will not morals mar. Go bless them all who ' er they be, And save the best one back for me. -H. K.

And wha t was MacKenzie ' s last story? What girl was so nice as to dance with Bill Price? What ' s the matter with Harley aud Florv ? Why does Neuhauser to Lewisburg go ? Why Sturges each week to the Suubury show ? And what is the matter with Derr getting fatter ? How much does Livingston know? In the spring the young man ' s fancy, Lightly turns to thoughts of ease, While the old man beats the carpet Floating in the morning breeze.

While Zimmie to the Island goes To tell his little tale. -R. Z.B. 180 MEIN HERR SCHRAEDER Our Janitor. Before the light of morning comes, Ere weary students eye can see; Conies Mein Herr Schraeder, faithful soul. To warm the room for you and me. The campus now is free to shine, Bereft of cloak of Autumn leaves, And shows its verdure bright and fair While beauty in with beauty weaves; And every duty, as it comes, Finds for work a willing hand ; Finds for each task a chosen time And satisfies the day ' s demands. A watchful eye, unsparing spade, Have made surroundings bright and fair; Have made our halls almost like home. Aesthetic eyes, filled with delight. Give we credit where ' tis due; And for this change to better things We all unite with voices true To make the name for ages ring : Mein Herr Schraeder. -R. Z. B. 182 THINGS OF THE PAST THE DUCKING ASSOCIATION, mentioned in Vol. I, no longer exists. The active members have seen fit to abandon the folly , and those who are desirous of following such frivolous amusement are fearful of the penalty in- flicted upon those who engage in such sport. THE MARBLE CLUB, in Vol. I, is now only a thing to be remembered. Marbles are not as precious as dollars. The members have, therefore, decided to roll the sur- plus of the $150,000 lately bequeathed to S. U., over the shoulders of King Prex to see what effect they will have on his corns. THE ANTI-MARRIAGE CLUB, Vol. I, is abandoned because of the fact that members can no longer be obtained. The President has broken the rules through marriage, and others show signs of unfaithfulness. ♦Seepage 131, Vol. I. THE SUSQUEHANNA-GETTYSBURG CLUB, Vol. II, has changed to the Susquehanna-Dickinsonian Club. The friendly feelings of the former are secured, the latter are to be obtained. This Club is said to be doing much toward the cause which they are representing. THE ROYAL TIPPLERS, of Vol. Ill, were amazed at the enormous number of applications coming from the Theological Department for consideration, and there- fore decided to quit the business. THE WARP CLUB, of Vol. Ill, were well satisfied with students and a few Professors, but when it was whispered that the President would, of necessity, join their ranks, they sang a doxology, retreated from their quarters and solemnly vowed never again to breathe the name of their beloved organization.

TURKEY The shades of night were falling- fast ; Not through an Alpine village passed Four youths; nor bore, mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior. ' But on their way, with beaming eyes. Like twinkling stars up in the skies, To try, if possible, to find That which was foremost in their minds, Turkey ! In happy home they saw a light, The whole house seemed both warm and bright; Above the starry heavens shone ; And from their lips escaped the groan, Turkey ! Please do not steal, their conscience said, But only take from overhead, The subject of your little game, Which is, to all, known by the name, Turkey ! Oh, fly ! ' to them the voice said then, Retreat into a dismal den, And there prepare your prey with ease, Which you from off the tree did seize. Turkey ! The fowl was thus quite well prepared ; The villians had no labor spared; Then to a room, yet occupied, They bore the prize, and there was fried, Turkey ! With gleaming eyes and hunger sore, At four o ' clock, or maybe more, Around the festal board they drew To eat the prize, so well in stew, Turkey ! But Sunday morn ; Oh. sad, sad day ! Tis true, ' twas thought a pleasing fray ; Yet on themselves they played the trick, The same was that they ate a sick Turkey ! Some several days, ' twas all thought past; The President came forth at la t And said, To take is steal So quick, Young sirs ! replace or pay the sick Turkey 185 WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW WANTED Will Ike H. ever be a wagner?

And yet, despite her melting glance, (O! dire despair) Her heart was gold of large amount; She kicked me for a bank account With such an air ! I saw her with a boy to-day, Of golden hair ; And I ' ll admit, it makes me sad To think that man is now a Dad With such an heir! — H. B. H. Bright the day and bright the sun, Bright the smile on Sadie ' s face But slight McMurtrie thought the fun To try with Sade to keep the pace. He wanted ashes on the ice, He wanted muscle on his arm; Sade ' s two hundred pounds was nice. But poor Mac ' s wing was not a farm. The skating done, back home they came And Sadie thanked him for his toil, A drug store entered Mac so lame And softly said Witch Hazel il. 189 DEUTCHE GEZELSHOFT OFFICERS President Miss Mildred Focht.

Now there are a great many ologies, such as zoology, physiology, biology, chronology, geology, psychology, minerology, meteor- ology, and many more which it is not necessary to mention, and such as treat upon the subject suggested by the prefix of the word. As theology treats of the science of God it neces sarily is of much more importance than any of the others. We have a Theological Seminary (a place where young (?) men are taught rightly to expound the Word of God), in which the President of the University and the highly esteemed Dr. J. Yutzy are the principal instructors. It is their duty to teach these men the fundamentals of the Lutheran Doctrine, how to outline their sermons correctly, fill in properly, and appear before the world as men worthy of so great a responsibility. It would therefore appear that these young men, such as Games, Ott, Stabley, and Hannan, Sr.; and those slightly ad- vanced in years C ' Nick, Zim, Ike, and Stauft ), should be of sound mind, excellent character, and noble as- pirations. This is the fact. They are of studious inclination, persevering, and sustain a determination not surpassed by that of the great Roman conqueror. In these things they are simi- lar. But in some other marks they differ greatly. First, physi- cally, the majority are of rather uniform size. Where the greatest difference is noticed is by comparing Zim and Games — the former is about five feet nine inches in height, four and one-half inches in diameter, and weighs nearly one hundred pounds : while on the other hand, Games is about five feet in height, four feet in diameter and weighs, approxi- mately, three hundred and seventy-five pounds. This presents quite a contrast, especially when sitting side by side in chapel. Then, disposition. Most of them are most kindly disposed, while others show a higher degree of temperament, for instance: Zim not only displayed his weakness along this line by en- gaging in a regular twenty-round, full-costume, to-the-finish sparring match with John Featherweight, last year; but actually very heartily enjoyed a hand-to-hand, rough-and-tumble en- 192 gagement with a young gentleman, who is now being edu- cated elsewhere. Again, on the other hand, Games permitted his temper to rise to such a degree one day, that when being pushed from one side of the hall to the other, he actually is said to have put all his weight (and great is the amount there- of ), in motion and to have struck Wolgy a straight-from- the-shoulder blow. The blow was so effective that Wolgy is said to have descended the steps without delay. The most astonishing fact is that one day, after Dr. J. Yutzy had returned from the hall, where there was some very loud talking, and of very loud order too, heard, to German class, he very emphatically remarked, that if there was any necessity for a scramble he could engage in it with as much enthusiasm as the rest of them. Now we infer from the above that Theology is a science of vast import, the social environments pleasant, the chances for self-defense reasonable, and the anticipation of future employ- ment favorable. We therefore urge upon all such as wish to engage in ministerial work to first pass through our Theological Seminary. First, through infancy we pass; Pass on through our College Course. College Course prepares for Sera, Sem prepares to enter life — Life — we mean the preachers work; Work which lasts but twenty years. Twenty years ? But why not more ? Because he ' s then called old — For this they kick him out. 193 SELECTIONS FROM SENIOR PRODUCTIONS My college days are nearly o ' er, Then into public life I ' ll .soar. This is the news I ' ll break to marin: I ' ve flunked ; I ' ve come to work the farm. O ' er fields of waving- grain I ' ll soar, And pumpkins thrash until I ' m sore. — Hi;kp- 1 ' Tis good to love all that is nice, ' Quoth sages long ago. And wise is he who shuns all vice. Xor with strange maidens go. — Derr. The dew-lipped Spring has come at last, And thoughts, like long bound bales, Now burst their hirsute cage so fast That memory wails like ancient gales. — Edt- Nun cum utid shust a leetle gif me der ears avile. Der vas a goot deal yet, und der vas some more in dis vorlt, und mineself vas much und mine Frau vas some. Our Hinkle vas nice and vite till der Knaube blak coom and took dot Hinkle aus der coop: und den das Hinkle was not ours nor nice nor vite, but loose dose vite fedders und makes some grount vite shust like some leetle sunow storm. I goes me by the court oop und das black Knaube vas get some months eighteen in der shale : und now vat worries me is, dot I don ' t get mine Hinkle back somemore. — Pail. ' ' Ye mighty minds, before me here assembled! This is a great and momentous occasion. Procrastination is the klepto- maniac of temporalocity. Multitudinous and tremendous in- terrogations innumerable throng our cranial cavities. In the midst of it all we are led to ejaculate, ' mid scenes of excruci- ating grief. ' What fools we mortals be! —Gable. j •■Sweet flowret, pledged th ' eternal love, Of heart full brave and true ; May artless lines, sincerely traced, Be words of trust in you. — E. S. ' Take down a book and read. Read till you are convinced, Convinced that life is real ; Real -has a place for you ; You must yourself it fill, Fill with your brain and might. Might you this book then read. Read, read, the book ' s vourself! — H. K. Susquehanna University, Sel in ' s Grove, Pa., April 9, 1900. Editors Lanthorn: To the faculty of the University: Gentlemen: — We hear much these days of abolishing examinations in college. May we ask you for the sentiment of our faculty on this important (to us) question. You will oblige us by an answer in the return mail, as we go to press Wednesday next. On Tuesday we received the following from the College Secre- tary — Susquehanna University, Selin ' s Grove, Pa., April 10, 1900. Editors Lanthorn: Sirs: — Your letter, relative to information concerning the disposition of the faculty as regard the examination in question, received. The President has delegated me to say to you, that altho he regards the question as foolish, he has laid the matter before the faculty, and the following is their response : My Dear Young Gentlemen: — Ego, am surprised that you young men should ask an opinion on such a ridiculous proposal as the abolition of examinations. But I must hasten. This is a great, burning question, but I can sum it all up for you in a few words ; and I might just remark that what I have to say is my own, I didn ' t get it out of any book. My dear young gentlemen, if you would scatter the mists from your sluggish brains: if you would lose your heads among the tree tops of your own greatness ; if you would get to your- selves knowledge more lasting than bronze: which neither fowls of the air nor geese of the barnyard can consume, take the college examinations and your names shall be written in the book of June — the catalog. (Signed) Pres. Heisi.kk. Editors Lanthorn: — Sirs: — Well, gentlemen, it makes no difference to me. I can teach anything. I am prepared for anything, but when you ask for freedom from examinations you are resisting college authority ; you are seditionists. J. R. DlMM. Editors Lanthorn: — My Dear Sirs: — I can see that there are two sides to the question, and I hardly know what to say. We want to do the very best thing for you we know how. We Germans, of course, like the good old way. You doubtless know that I give the same questions year after year, so you need have no worry about examinations in my department. We want you all to be well rounded scholars, deep thinkers, and anything we can do for you will not be too great a sacrifice. Yours truly, J. Yutzy. 195 Editors Lanthorx: — Dear Sirs: — That reminds me, of a Centre Co. story, but concerning ex aminations, we give our views mathematically: Let F = the number of flunks ; X = number of perfect recitations ; T = term of credit; P = pull with Prof. Problem: — Will the addition of X to F give sufficient T ? That is, will F + X = T? Suggestion: Find P, then solve forT. Prof. Houtz. Editors Lanthorn: — I modestly trust that by my logical treatment of the subject I shall be able to let in upon your inquiring minds the gorgeous light of all-conquering truth. Some students are reckless and careless (in the use of ponies). Anything that tends to a cautious and guarded and watchful spirit (in the use of ponies) should be encouraged. Examinations tend to a cautious, watchful, guarded spirit (in the use of ponies). Therefore, examinations should be encouraged. Prof. Woodruff. Editors Laxthorn: — Scientifically speaking, we would say that this question is peculiar. Indeed, we wonder why this question should be asked. We must have order, arrangement, method in every department of successful research, and we take epitomes from time to time. Prof. Fisher. Editors Lanthorx: — The root of this question may be traced to the Sanskrit. Examinations ; well, as you like it. Prof. Allison. Editors Lanthorn: — Dear Sirs: — Examinations? Yes, of course; only fools oppose them. Prince Fisher. 196 QUOTATIONS Mankind — He that knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; He that knows and knows not that he knows is a stupid man; He that knows not and knows that he knows not is a sensible man; He that knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool.

Editors take a little recreation. CONCERNING NEW STUDENTS The Editors have been requested by parents who desire to send their children to school next year, to advance a few suggestions as to how a student can be successful and liked; or, how he may be unsuccessful and disliked, while in college. First, the student who is liked: Is a plodder. Is always on time. Has high ideals. Is frank and manly. Does not know it all . Takes plenty of sleep. Lays broad foundations. Is loyal to his instructors. Believes in the Golden Rule. Is not too much in a hurry. Plans his work and works his plans. Takes a due measure of physical exercise in the Gym- nasium. Is willing to have his weak spots pointed out. Faces difficulties like a man. Who don ' t spend his study hours with girls. Who gives a lift to every fellow who has an uphill fight. Has definite aims, and works steadily toward their at- tainments. Secondly, the student who is disliked and in danger of being put into cold water: The lazy student. The rowdy student. The dudish student. The big-self student. The student who shirks duty. The student who tattles. The student who meddles. The student who is a bore. The one who is impure. The one who is not square in all his dealings. The one who has a swollen head. Who talks about himself. Who shuns hard work. The student who is starchy and always a little behind. The student whose chief ambition is to be a social lion. The student whose egotism outweighs his common sense. The shallow-brained student who thinks he is an atheist. The student who recklessly spends his father ' s hard- earned cash. If parents will thoroughly acquaint their boys with these suggestions, before sending them, it will be found that the boys will, without fail, turn out to be better men. :09 Again the silent wheels of time Their annual round have driven, And we to life, still in its prime, Another year have given 210 Tirric earnestly desire to extend our sincere tbanfes to our frienos, patrons and all tbose who in ang wag assisted us in tbe labor connected witb tbe publisbing of Ubc lLantborn.
