D., is this volume respectfully dedicated. Rev. C. W. Heisler, D. D. C. W. HEISLER, D. D. N THE little town of Minersville, in the year 1857, Rev. C. W. Heisler was born. His parents, Rev. W. L. and Mrs. S. H. Heisler, with due respect for God ' s Word and Holy Ordinances, early presented him before the altar, where, by the hand of the late Dr. Sheeleigh, the water from the baptismal font was sprinkled upon his brow. His early life was spent in Jersey Shore, Salona and Mifflinburg. While quite a child he exhibited a passion for books, and a spirit of concentration beyond his years. Before he was eleven years old he was a pupil of Rev. E. Studebaker at the Salona Academy, taking higher English and Latin with young ladies and young gentlemen. With an application which is only found in a natural student, he devoted himself to his books, sacrificing the desire for boyish pleasures, until the constant mental strain undermined his health, compelling him to leave school in 1868. After a brief rest he began clerking, and soon engaged in business for himself. While thus employed he did not forget the studious habits of his earlier days, but with characteristic energy labored at his books, until at the age of seventeen he was able to pass the teachers ' examination with a high grade, and enter upon a career more congenial to his nature. This vocation he followed successfully two years, in the mean- time preparing himself for college. On January 4, 1877, the happy day of his matriculation arrived, and C. W. Heisler was enrolled as a Freshman in Pennsylvania College, having prepared for entering at that point unaided, save for a few weeks tutoring which he received in ' 76. Here his former zeal did not forsake him, for when the second term closed, he stood without a rival at the head of his class. In the Sophomore year he began to contribute for the college monthly, and was awarded a dictionary as a first prize, and received honorable mention for the second prize in the same competition. Again health began to desert a none too rugged frame, but despite its treacherous desertions, he won the Eatin gold medal in Junior year, and the following year was chosen Biennial Orator, and graduated with the first honor and the valedictory. — s — He at once entered the Gettysburg Seminary, and for two years acted as tutor in the preparatory depart- ment of the college. He graduated in ' 83, and was called immediately to the Belleville charge, which he suc- cessfully served until appointed by the Home Mission Board to the position of missionary at Los Angeles, Cal. He at once went west, and organized the congregation which now has the most artistic church in the city, with a church property worth $23,000. Compelled by ill health to leave the sunny slopes of the Pacific, he accepted a call to Colorado Springs, but after five month ' s labor in the new field he was transferred by the Home Mission Board to the pastorate of St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church, at Denver, Colorado. Rev. Heisler was early drawn into general religious work, and while at Los Angeles was president of the Ministerial Alliance for several terms, as well as lecturer at the Y. M. C. A. and kindred organizations. In Denver he was drawn into the general lecture field, and was called to speak on a variety of topics throughout the state. When the Anti-Saloon League of Colorado was organized he was chosen as the first superintendent, show- ing that the churches had full confidence in his leadership. For several years he lias had charge of the normal Bible work of the Rocky Mountain Chautauqua, at Palmer Lake, Colorado, and has served in the same capacity the Rock River Assembly, at Dixon, Illinois. In June, 1899, he was approached with reference to assuming the presidency of Susquehanna University. After much prayer and deliberation the position was accepted, and on November 16th of the same year he assumed charge. In June, 1900, the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by Wittenburg College. Dr. Heisler has proven himself to be a competent leader and a devoted, capable teacher, not only within the college walls, but throughout our whole state. He is kept constantly before the public, and has not failed to instruct and edifj ' those who hear him. •9 — Greeting T™ O THE faculty, student body, alumni and friends of S. U., the class of 1902 extends greeting. As the representatives of the Junior Class, we feel the responsibility under which we have been £ SJ| placed by our fellow classmates, and hope we shall not betray the trust committed to our charge. As no words which pen can write or poet sing can give due honor to our alma mater, we shall not defame her worth by attempting a single measure to her praise. Let stars and singing spheres yield homage to her name, as through the ages, she, faithful to her mission seeks To summon men to nobler spheres, And lead them worthward. For our work we make no apology. We have tried to be honest and impartial. Our aim has been to give the rounds and grinds of college life, rather than to follow the custom of pouring vials of unappeased wrath upon those too active for any other mode of retribution. Yet, if Some shot by random sent finds lodgment in a tender spot, pray think on it lightly, and forget not that the editors are but mortal, and their knowledge limited. We sincerely hope you will laugh at our jokes of ancient fame and widespread reputation, forebearing to look at our new jingles with a critic ' s austere eye. Our object is to please, and if we have accomplished this, or have made one friend for Susquehanna, we ask no further recompense. THE EDITORS. fer- --• ■■■-• - m i ■ ' Avl.rt ■ 1 tn I .... ,.

T HE Rev. E. W. HuTTER, D. D., in a Eulogy on the Life and Character of Rev. Benj. Kurtz, D. D., states that the original suggestion of the Missionary Institute came from a school established by Dr. Bogue, at Gosport, England, in 1789. This school, with but few facilities, but with wise devotion, had been eminently successful in training men for home and foreign Gospel work. Dr. Kurtz had already been prominent and most useful in advancing the interests of the American Lutheran church. He was identified with the formation of the General Synod, with the founding of the Seminary at Gettysburg, for which he secured $12,000 in Europe, together with thousands of books, and was instrumental in establishing on a firm basis the Lutheran Observer. Now, as his life work is nearly done, his heart is moved by the great need of more ministers to take up and sustain the work of the Lutheran church — to meet this need was his purpose in urging the establishment of this school. During the years 1854, ' 55 and ' 56, Dr. Kurtz continually used the Editorial columns of the Lutheran Observer, of which he was Editor, to press on the Lutheran people the need and advantage of a Missionary Institute. He says, No Christian denomination in our land is suffering so much for the want of ministers of the Gospel as the Lutheran. We need plainly and moderately educated men as well as showy and profoundly learned men, and there are neighborhoods and churches to which the former are better adapted, and in which they can do more good than the latter. If the policy which we have again and again proposed, and have been advocating on every suitable occasion during the last quarter of a century, had been pursued — namely, that of searching for and sending out pious and sensible lay men as preachers, after a brief course of preparatory read- ing, our church would at this time be vastly larger, and present a much more encouraging aspect. Under date of May 18, 1855, he calls attention, with stirring comments, to an appeal sent out into the church to the pastors for more ministers. This plan to secure one young man from each respective pastorate, was signed, among others, by Revs. J. G. Morris, C. P. Krauth, W. A Passavant, Benj. Sadtler, Chas. F. Schaeffer, S. C. Wedekind, Jacob Fry and Reuben Hill. For the need voiced by such men, he had a help in his plan of the Missionary Institute. A few months later he makes explicit statement of his desire and purpose — to take up sensible and pious men, partially educated, possessing aptness to teach and willing and anxious to labor in the ministry, and after judicious training for a year or two, sending them forth to tell the simple story of the Cross to our desti- tute churches, and preach repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. Our mark is a Missionary In- stitute something like that established at Basle. For the special benefit of this description of men we have long prayed to God and pleaded with our brethren that some provision should be made. At the meeting of the Maryland Synod, in 1856, a report was read by Dr. Kurtz on the subject of establishing a Missionary Institute for the education of lay men of decided talents and adequate mental discipline for the Gospel ministry. The institution is designed for the theological training of pious, strong-minded lay men, who are somewhat advanced in life, and men of families. The report was adopted and the following committee was appointed to carry it into effect: Dr. Kurtz, Rev. J. McCron, Rev. G. Deihl, Rev. F. R. Anspach, Rev. J. G. Butler, Dr. W. M. Kemp, Mr. Wm. Bridges, Mr. C. W. Humrichouse, Mr. J. Ream and Mr. W. C. Wisong. The first meeting of this committee was held on Dec. 15, 1856, in Baltimore, when it was resolved to locate the institution in Baltimore Co., Md. Statutes for the government were also adopted. The design is thus stated: This Institution shall be established and carried forward for the education of pious and sound- minded men (irrespective of age or domestic ties ) for the office of the holy ministry in the Evangelical Lutheran Church. After stating the subjects of theological study it was also added that, provision may also be made by the managers for instruction in the various branches of an acadimical and scientific course. No formal appeal was yet made to the church, but the first donation, afterward followed by other gifts from the same source, was of $10 from Mrs. S. E. Winter, widow oi Rev. John Winter, a Lutheran minister. In Feb. 1857, an appeal and a statement were made to the church, in which Dr. Kurtz asserted his deep faith in his work and his assurance of support from the people: To them we look and to their Christian sympathy we appeal. They have heart to feel and throb in union with ours ; they also have money to consecrate to the cause of God and the furtherance of his Kingdom, and from the lessons taught us in our Lutheran Zion by more than forty years ' experience, we believe they will come to our aid and pour out their gifts with a freeness and richness, which, under God, will insure success. — 24 — At the second meeting of the Board, on Jan. 6, 1857, the resolution to locate in Baltimore Co., Md., was rescinded, and Dr. Kurtz was elected Superintendent and Professor of Theology. At this earl} ' stage in the development of this institution Dr. T. Stork said of it: Scores of men, whose talents and piety would other- wise be comparatively lost to the church, might through the instrumentality of such an institution be brought into the active duties of the ministry. Concerning the opposition of some to the plan and to the qualification of the students, Dr. Kurtz said: They will be well acquainted with the Bible and church history, able sermonizers, and living, self-denying, serious and common sense preachers and industrious and faithful pastors. If any one choose to stigmatize such men as ' half educated, ' ' half fledged, ' ' quacks ' etc., let him gratify his peculiar and amiable penchant. At the meeting of the East Pennsylvania Synod at Lancaster in 1857 it was resolved, that we would urge on the consciences of many who have arrived at a more advanced age to devote themselves to this work, the preparation for the ministry. At the meeting of the Maryland Synod in 1857, the Board was severed from relation to the Synod, owing to the proposed location outside the bounds of that Synod; the Board was also made self perpetuating. A number of places urged their claims and presented inducements for the location, but at a meeting of the Board, May 3, 1858, in consideration of the fact that Selinsgrove, Pa., made offer of $15,012, this place was decided upon as the location. At a meeting held at Selinsgrove from May 12 to 14, 1S58, the Board by changes and additions was constituted as follows: Dr. B. Kurtz, Rev. G. Diehl, Rev. F. R. Anspach, Rev. J. G. Butler, Dr. W. M. Kemp, Mr. Wm. Bridges, Mr. J. Ream, Col. A. C. Simpson, Mr. John App, Mr. Geo. Schnure, Rev. H. Zeigler, Rev. S. Domer, Rev. P. Born, Rev. C. C. Culler, Rev. C. G. Erlenmyer, Rev. J. G. Anspach, Rev. D. H. Focht, Col. W. F. Wagenseller, Mr. C. A. Moyer, Mr. Leonard App, Mr. H. Ritter, Mr. B. Schoch and Mr. L. R. Hummel. Arrangements were at once made to open the Classical school in the brick building at the rear of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church ; this, with the use of the lecture room, was tendered to the Board by the congregation. The officers of the Board were: President, Dr. B. Kurtz; Vice Presidents, Rev. S. Domer and Rev. H. Zeigler ; Recording Secretary, Col. A. C. Simpson ; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. H. Zeigler ; Treasurer, Mr. Jas. K. Davis. An annoucement was made that the institution, so located, was ready to receive applications for admission. The Classical Department, under the management of Prof. Theo. Weaver, later assisted by Prof. Wm. Noetling, — 25 — was opened on June 14, 1S58, the Theological Department on Oct. 7, 1858. The former had at once about 75 scholars, the latter began with twelve. Work was at once begun on the new building, 80 ft. by 43 ft., with three stories, of which Dr. Kurtz says, it will be finished without one dollar of debt, the requisite money being already provided for by the generous and whole hearted folks of Selinsgrove. ' ' - The course of study announced for the Theological Department was as follows: Biblical Archaeology, Mental Philosophy, Moral Philosophy, History, Hermeneutics, Exegesis, Catechetics, Systimatic Divinity, Homileties, Chronology Pastoral Theology, Church Government and Missionary Instruction. A very full and interesting account of the laying of the corner stone, on Sept. 1, 1S58, appeared in the Lutheran Observer of Sept. 17, 1858. The addresses made on this occasion by Rev. R. Weiser, Hon. A. Jordan and Hon. Joseph Casey, with those made at the dedication on Nov. 9, 1859, by Rev. E. W. Hutter and Rev. D. Steck, and also those delivered Nov. -24, 1858, at the inauguration of the Theological Professors, by Rev. S. Sprecher, D. D., and Rev. P. Rizer, with the inaugurals of Dr. Kurtz and Rev. Zeigler were published and give a clear and impressive expression of the plan and motive of the institution. During the first year there were 133 students, 26 studying Theology and 107 in the Classical Department. The arrangements for the management of the Classical Department being temporary, until the fitting up of the new building, in May 1859. Rev. P. Born was elected Principal of that department, entering his work Sept. 22, 1859, as Principal and Professor of Ancient Languages. This position he filled until 1881. He had been intimately associated with Dr. Kurtz and Rev. Zeigler in all the preliminaries and arrangements. Under this management the work of the institution was continued with increasing success, until the death of Dr. Kurtz in Dec. 29, 1865. Dr. H. Zeigler was now elected Superintendent, and without any change of policy, but with growing efficiency, the school was continued until 188 1. When Dr. Zeigler resigned, Dr. P. Born was elected Superintendent and Rev. John B. Focht Principal of the Classical Department. The latter resign- ing in 1882, Rev. J. R. Dimm was elected Principal, serving in that position until 1895. Rev. P. Born, D. D., resigned the position of Superintendent in 1893, yet continuing as an instructor until his death in 1S99. He was succeeded by Rev. F. P. Manhart, who filled the office of Superintendent until 1895. During 1894 the commodious building known as Gustavus Adolphus Hall was erected to meet the need for better accomodations for recitation rooms, halls, etc. In the same year the course of study was extended and rearranged to include the Junior and Senior years of a college course, with the conferring of degrees, the institution assuming the title of Susquehanna University. Rev. J. R. Dimm D. D., well qualified by experience and attainments, was — 26 — elected President, and began the larger work of the institution, supported by a corps of able and earnest instruc- tors. The work of both Theolo gical and Collegiate Departments was continued with increasing success under this management until 1899, when Dr. Dimm resigned the Presidency, remaining, however, to continue his work as a Professor. In the fall of 1899 Rev. C. W. Heisler, A. M., of Denver, Col., was chosen President, entering on the duties of his position in November of the same year. Various changes and additions were made to the course of stud} ' , of these the most important was the establishing of the Departments of Music and of Elocution, both of which proved popular and helpful. During 1900 the Ladies ' Dormitory was erected to meet the needs of the increasing number of young women students, greater attention was also given to instruction in Normal methods for teachers, especially during the current year, under the supervision of Prof. Wm. Noetling, A. M. Brief and fragmentary as this sketch of the record of this school is, we may yet learn from it that God inspired worthy, consecrated men with the idea of the Missionary Institute and blessed them in their work. They rest from their labors and their works do follow them. To their successors we may confidently look for a continuance of the same abounding favor of God, and ever enlarging usefulness to the Church. Selinsgrove, Pa., April, 1901. J. B.

TIME rolls on, and the class of ' 01 is making its last year of history in college life. Neither tongue nor pen can ever tell the story of the struggles and triumphs that crowd the passing hours. In sunshine and shadow we are working on with hopes and fears beset. The race begun is nearly run. Time alone can tell how well. Shall we hail the final day with joy unmixed with sadness? In behalf of all, we answer, No ! The mystic charm that binds in common brotherhood this band of pilgrims to the shrine of learning cannot be severed without sigh or tear. But, when robed in cap and gown, we shall stand at the goal on the long expected day, and shall feel that the old college life is vanishing like a dream, and that now we must face the wide, cold world, we may find some comfort in the fact that the garnered treasures of these halycon days are not only syllogisms and mathematical formulas, but that many a ringing laugh, sweet song or happy scene, in which friends tried and true were the actors, will on memory ' s wings come sweep- ing down the corridor of years, an echo of other days calling us back to old Susquehanna ' s ! Halls. l« ,BT MV But, alas! this rever) must close foi the present. Other things included in the 1 illM historian ■ task must also be duly recorded.

With an abundant amount of thought and plan, of rush and scramble, like the needle setting to the pole, the class found itself at the ticket window in the station. The train is boarded and, hurrying, scurrying over brooks and braes, our destination is reached We enter the epicurean temple, in which we may exchange our paltry gold for just the things that woo ' d us from our homes and books. A royal banquet, rare eloquence and thrilling song made the evening at the Exchange an occasion that will be long remembered with profound (J„ ?4 ) f )„ satisfaction. There remains yet another event greatly appreciated: On this oc- — 34 — casion the viands of the feast were flavored with the spirit of royal and unselfish class fellowship in a sumptuous overture of friendship. Long will live in the memory of each one the immeasurable pleasure which our esteemed classmate, Lucy, so gracefully provided. The splendid feast of reason and flow of soul did not make us so ethereal as to forget that we lead a dual self that could enjoy in a high degree the perfection of good things in the Professor ' s banquet hall. Now our page is done. Soon the farewells, and then each his own life history will begin to write. Historian. ■35- Class of Nineteen-Two. Motto — Perfectio in Omnia. Colors — Crimson and Steel.

We have become Juniors, robed in togas of bravery, having met and defeated the enemy twice on their own battle ground. When we were green, swell-headed Freshmen, no Soph had it in the realms of his power and might to humble us, but on the contrary, the would-be-wise ones were themselves humbled to a degree far below the dignity belonging to such a class. We were to meet the Sophs in a general free-for-all, but they wisely thought of their safety, and refrained from participating in such an affray, one which would have accomplished nothing for them, except the lowering of what little dignity they had. Poor Spohs ! How their jaws fell and their eyes opened with astonishment and wonder as we marched into chapel wearing our class caps, defying and daring them to re- move them, but, as usual, the} ' failed to respond to our challenge. And when we challenged them to a game of foot-ball, what a splendid blu ff they put up, but as it neared the time when the real thing was to occur, they judiciously cancelled, knowing full well what the result would be. At the close of the fall term, when the majority of our little band had gone home, the Sophs thought they could, raise their banner above the reach of any Freshman. But again they had thought and acted in vain. They had not considered the spirit of the few stalwart warriors who yet remained, for their little pennant ( if one may call it such ) was torn from ' ts exalted position and trampled beneath the feet of Freshmen. Then arrived the most eventful time of the year, our banquet. The Sophs in some under-handed way had learned the date upon which we were to have our banquet, and thought it best for their own interests to have their little feed on the same evening after we had left the town. But, draw the comparison, if you please, between a mule-team and a special car, between a country tavern and a modern city hotel, between cheese, pretzels and beans and a banquet in reality. The Sophs showed some spirit of defiance in base-ball, but, oh ! how they fell before the braves of the Crimson and Steel. Thus we completed our Freshman year, having covered ourselves with glory, winning the admiration of the higher classes and special attention in faculty meetings. Then, having made good use of our ponies, and having worked the Profs in the examinations, we were advanced a year. During this year we had very little trouble with the youngsters, for they were well aware with whom they had to contend, and seldom — 43 — went beyond the line drawn for them. The first time we had to draw the rein on them was when they attempted to have their physiogs snapped. But they had built on air, and not on the fact that the members of ' 02 always answer present, and especially on such occasions. Then, again, they tried to burn Cato. It was not the proper thing to burn in effigy such a learned man as Cato, simply because one class had failed to see the beauty and deeply hidden thought in his works, so the leading babes were transported to the rural districts. But on Jan. 12th, the event of the year was celebrated; the Sophomore banquet. We even eclipsed the banquet of the preceding year. We boarded our special car, and were soon gliding swiftly up the beautiful valley of the Susquehanna toward Milton. Early in the evening the orchestra struck up a popular selection, and soon the members of the class were gliding gracefully o ' er the floor. At the proper time the banquet hall was thrown open, and they of the Crimson and Steel marched in, and, as in every other event, surpassed themselves in this part of the programme. And when now as dignified Juniors we urge the Freshmen on to victory, having completed a past, grand and noble ; one which has surpassed the history of any former class ; a past which still remains unequalled, and one which, no doubt, will not be repeated for many years. Historian. -44 — PERFECTIO IN OMNIA. AtThe JunidrProm. Perfeclio in Omnia, let it stand A noble theme for life, A motto glorious and grand, A watch-word in the strife. In battles we must daily fight ' Gainst self, ' gainst unseen foe. Who would from us our life ' s blood snatch And leave us naught but woe. The half of life, who can deny, Is learning how to live That we may noble thoughts and deeds To our creator give. A perfect life then let us lead, One perfect be our star, And always keep in view its light, Though it may seem afar. Oh full blown rose, so white, so pure, What beauties you unfold; To every one who looks on thee There is a joy untold. Thy perfectness, a beam of light Doth send to every eye; What happiness thou giv ' st to all. Ere thou must wilt and die. If thou, Oh rose ! canst give such joys, Ah then, what can man give To those long tossed on life ' s wild sea, Who never learned to live ! The man whose goal is perfectness, Unknown will shed his light To vilest hut, to palace halls, In beams of truth and right. — 45- Three years ago in infancy Nought two began her course With such ideal, whole perfectness. Ah, who would dare endorse A purer theme for life Than this, our old class word, For lo, what greater height than this, The pattern of our Lord ? Since then by dint of faithful toil Our motto ' s blazoned high In words that glow with light and life Upon the sunlit sky Of our ambition; though it seems Sometimes we ' ll never gain The goal, fair prize of ceaseless work, Of earnest zeal and pain. Perfectio in Omnia still it stands The heighth of our desires: Battles have been fought and won But still the demon tires Not in the fight. Still holding high, Still higher to the view We ' ll nobly strive to keep aloft The theme of Nineteen-two. M. K. W. H. THE JUNIOR MEDLEY. (Down on the farm.)

We would also admonish them for their own edification to study with much consideration, profound deliberation and serious cogita- tion, the compilation and inumeration of our Sophomore application and recreation and no base insinuation upon their undeveloped imagination. The faculty, seeing that we had risen above the plane of common-place platitudes, and that we were shedding influence like the flash of a meteor, deemed it altogether expedient to make their appreciation known by giving us full charge of the Freshmen, and insisted that we pay special attention to their discipline. The faculty was agreeably surprised to note the tender care we took of them, and the great critical acumen we dis- played in instilling into their barren minds higher aims, worthier purposes, and better thoughts. Although this rigid training, which they so very much needed, was for the most part prolix, yet we would, with Sopho- more magnanimity, report a tolerable degree of progress, for which we are highly honored by their ancestors. Contemplations of our brief, but by no means ephemeral, career are tinged with the gorgeous and splen- did prismatic hues of memory, and the gilded lustre of victory rises before us like the bubbles on the water ' s surface. On Oct. nth occurred the most prominent class affair ever witnessed on Susquehanna ' s campus, our ever memorable class rush. The longest and most antagonizing day to the Freshmen dawned calm and serene, but e ' er the sun had risen high in the heavens the prophetic cry echoed and re-echoed along the Susquehanna: The victory will be ours. Alas ! how true ! We looked forward with delightful apprehension to meeting the Freshies, who had been dormant so long a season, until some charitable friends told them that their dazzling colors would add very much beauty to the foliage of the campus, so they hoisted a flimsy pennant on the tree between Gustavus Adolphus and Selinsgrove Halls. Of course, this could not be tolerated, and the pennant was removed, which involved a rush in which the Freshmen were wildly gesticulating and commanding, but all in vain, for they were not able to execute their intentions. They started with high and sanguine hopes, but when they saw that a firm determination was depicted upon each countenance they were powerless. The first rush they suffered terribly. Our gigantic phalanx of — 50 — braves hurled them head-long into unconsciousness, so that they no longer say, That no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate had or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, preeminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual within their realm. The action came worse, far worse, than their antici- pation, when our herculean strength came into juxtaposition with their pun}- bodies. Their only substantial consolation came from a few Juniors, who admonished them to take their failure with philosophical calmness. Our banquet, held at Hotel Koppenhaver, Millersburg, Pa., Jan. ioth was decidedly the most success- ful event of the year. We left our private apartments to board the 4.45 for Millersburg, with no Freshmen in sight. After the news of our hanquet had been circulated no Freshman could be seen on the campus or streets. They preferred solitude to fortitude for peculiar reasons. Having arrived at our destination, the class did full justice to the spirited class yells and melodious songs, and after registering some of the members of the class were escorted to the most interesting parts of the town. The evening was spent most pleasantly. To say the least, in the language of our class poet, we had a swell time. Promptly at 10 o ' clock the tocsin wassounded, and the class of ' 03 marched into the spacious banquet hall to surround the festal board which was laden with all the danties that go to make up the richest feast. Ripples of silver}- laughter, joyous song, charming music and eloquence mingled with wit and humor, chased the fleeting hours. This joyous feast shall never be eradi- cated from our memory. Our only regret is that the Freshmen have decided not to have a banquet this year. Oh ! how- sad we are. We have not been able, thus far, to ascertain whether they abandoned this custom through fear of us or lack of confidence in themselves, or from want of proper class spirit that should animate them. A thing worthy of note is the variety of famous persons in our class. There is Wagenseller, our crack Latin scholar ; Sones, our compendium of information ; Weis, the man whoknows : Walter, the man with the saw; Chick Diehl, our amateur photographer; Frank, the star foot-ball player and man of mathematics; Tud Boyer, our renowned scientist; one, too there is, Mark, a philosopher and metaphysician, who wrought out strange theories about the Idea of the Immaterial ; our two headlights, Jacobs and Daubenspeck, and there is Eph Gearhart, our poet and elocutionist; Foster delights in the study of poets. Alas! gentle reader we must now bid thee adieu. Historian. -51 A REVERIE. One dreary day last winter, A book I chanced to read, To help me pass away the hours- Time ' s heavy feet to speed. I opened up the covers, And turned a leaf or two, When — lo, from out the pages, A withered flower I drew. I paused to think a moment, Who could have placed it there ? And as I gazed upon it There came a vision fair, Before me sat my classmates Around a festive board, Piled with the season ' s fruitage — The farmers ' sure reward. With merry laugh they feasted, Wit sparkled everywhere, And man) ' toasts were given, To class, and classmates fair. One youth arose and turning To classmates gathered round. Exclaimed, I have a toast, A better can ' t be found. Each lad and lassie present Upon their persons wear Our beauteous red carnations, The flower we love so dear. Then listen honored classmates, This toast I would propose, Let each one rise and drink it, E ' er toasting time shall close. Here ' s to the red carnation, With petals bright in hue, And breath as pure and fragrant As summer morning ' s dew. To thee — Oh fair carnation !

HAVE you never seen in passing through a garden of brilliant flowers, some tiny green bud half hidden by overhanging leaves? Parhaps you passed it by with a careless glance, not knowing the beautiful pos- sibilities it enfolded. But when you next came that way, behold the little bud had become a splendid rose, surpassing all the other flowers of the garden. Thus it has been with the class of ' 04. During our Sub-Freshman year, we were, so to speak, in the bud ; now we have blossomed out into our full glory, and bid fair to surpass all our predecessors. It is with a sigh that we see, though yet far distant, a fate like that of the rose awaiting us. As after its time of beauty the loosened petals of the rose float to the ground or are carried away by the wind, so the ten petals which form our class will drift apart at the close of our college course. But history is a record of past events, and we like the poet will leave things of the future to fate and the next historian. It was oh a calm evening in October that the Sophs raised their tattered ensign, and the next morn- ing their cry was, Oh ! say can you see by the dawn ' s early light, what so proudly we hailed? The answer came back laden with Freshman triumph, Xo! Thus it was that in the early hours of morning, while others slept, the green ( ? ) Freshmen had captured the blue and red silesia and raised a more beautiful and glorious symbol of true bravery and purity in its place, the Red and White. The contest that followed was long and exciting, the masculine combatants cheered on by their fair admirers. All the Freshmen distinguished themselves, but none more than our little friend from Pittsburg, Mr. G. The class decided not to hold a banquet for many excellent reasons, the chief being that they did not desire to enjoy such stylish and elegant repasts which are served at Millersburg, Beavertown, etc., fearing that one glimpse of such grandeur would forever make them dissatisfied with their common lot. But we have great plans for the future, which time will reveal. Historian. — 57 — OUR CLASS. No doubt you ' ve heard of a class fame Whose work ' s for aye done well, And rivals all have been surpassed, As victory doth tell. Acquaint with you this one I shall, It is not fiction sure; Its due in colors true I ' ll paint, In words which shall endure. ' Though we the least do now enroll, The smallest oft is best, Oft numbers do the speed retard, The strongest gain life ' s crest. Our path ' s the same ' neath moon or sun, We see the journey ' s end, What victory next is ours if we The Crimson and White defend ? The Sophs you know may trickey be, Their pennant hung with wire; The moon was full when it came down, And ours went up still higher. A fight ensued; the glory ' s ours, Each one was brave and true, A shred still shone of trophies won, Bv those of the Red and Blue. Our bark may not move as we please, But we ' ll our course pursue, If toilsome be the sea we sail, The end will find us true. Our songs shall rise o ' er ocean ' s gale, O ' er waters calm and blue, Reflecting the forms of mast and sail, ' Till grand will be the view. From topmost mast our pennant flies Proclaiming well our mission, The bright hues tell of wisdom ' s dawn, The rays of the White and Crimson. Our vessel ' s prow is keen and bright, And true doth ride the wave; Life ' s ocean she will safely cross, Though high the billows rave. ( ur pilot doth the shore survey, He sees the Sophs discord, Their faces toils and work display, And this is our reward. The shores loom high, our mooring place. The sight of the harbor is grand, ' Neath sunset red we ' ll anchor our ship, While birds sing on the strand. C. P. S. ' 04. -58- i. I. H. Wagner. 2. M. H. Fischer. 3. Mary C. Schnure. 4.

OLD Father Time has thrown wide the great portals leading to his palace, and through the archway the last deep shades of the old century have flitted away into the dark recesses of oblivion and forgetful- ness before the approaching dawn of the glorious sunlight and resplendent beauty of the new century. In the deep, broad archway there is seen a star nestled in the blue vault of heaven, pouring forth its tender light, and beaming smiles upon the downy clouds of blue and white. Philo stands supreme as that star sheding its golden rays on many, and making the rugged ascent on the path of knowledge less burdensome and more glorious ; plucking out the cruel thorns and leaving the beautiful flowers to gladden our upward journey. Casting a retrospective glance over the past years of Philo ' s life, many encouraging features are set forth and pleasing thoughts are induced. For forty-three years Philo has braved the trials which beset her on her gradual rise to success, and through all her difficulties, success has crowned her efforts. Led by our motto, Non Festinato, No?i Cessato, the battle cry is ever victorj . Tho ' Philo stands firm in her apparent youth, yet the date of her birth is recorded early in the fall of 1858. While the erection of Selinsgrove Hall was being completed, several young men organized a society to which they affixed the name of Athlonou. Quite a number joined its ranks, but some who did not desire to be enlisted with the younger students, would not take up the work. But early in ' 59 they organized a society to which they gave the appellation of Sophronikopean. The young societies found the work very tedious and discouraging, but notwithstanding this the Athlonou continued to hold her regular sessions until commencement in May ' 59. At the reopening of school in the fall only four members of the Athlonou society returned; in the persons of Messrs M. L. Wagenseller, H. G. Dietrich, A. M. Eby and James K. Davis, Jr. But with patriotic zeal, these few faithful members took up the banner and began their march to the front. A meeting was called for the first Friday evening after the opening of school, at which meeting a committee was appointed to suggest a change of name for the society and draw up a new constitution and by-laws. The committee acted promptly, and at the next meeting the new constitution was adopted and the name changed from the Athlonou to Philo- sophian. A name that shall stand as a guiding star through the coming ages. At the session at which the new constitution was adopted the following persons became active members: Rev. M. L. Shindel, Re v. G. P. -76- Weaver, M. D., Rev. D. I. Foust, Rev. S. W. Owens, D. D., Rev. D. A. Kuhn, Rev. J. A. Hesson, Mr. J. L. H. Damouth and Mr. J. M. Emerson, shortly after Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Alleman joined the ranks of Philo. Thus began Philo ' s career, in humble circumstances, with her membership few in number, but those few loyal at heart and faithful to their motto. The society, from year to year, gained in numbers, wisdom and power. Many stalwart sons and daughters have gone from Philo ' s doors, to win laurels for themselves and re- flect honor on the name they love and revere. A true and zealous worker left our ranks in ' 98. to take up a course of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, and has now been chosen as one of their debaters in the great debating contest with the University of Michigan. We feel proud of that worthy member, and trust success shall crown his even ' effort. And the joyous applause of his fellow Philos shall ever urge him on to renown and success, for his true love to his society and Alma Mater. Philo well may feel proud of her fair sous and daughters who have gone forth to their life work in the world ' s broad field, conquering and to conquer. The society has made rapid strides in the advancement of knowledge since its begining. The first sessions of the Athlonou society were held in the Evangelical Lutheran church. When in 1S59 Selinsgrove Hall was com- pleted, a suitable room was equipped and adorned for the use of Philo. Her numbers began to increase so rapidly that she again found herself in somewhat cramped circumstances. But 1895 marked another important epoch in her history, when a voice bade us take up our banner and to march forth from those walls which had become so very dear to us, to more spacious, commodious and tastefully furnished appartments in Gustavus Adolphus Hall, where we were to abide and where we could expand both in numbers and intellectual power as well. Since that time a new feature has been added in the form of Philo Debating Club, which meets every Thursday evening, to discuss the subject for the meeting of the next evening. This has caused a new life to be thrown into the debate, and has aroused a deeper interest in the sessions. The second inter-society debate took place June 3, 1900, when Philo won the Silver Cup as her trophy, and placed it within the protecting folds of her banner. Just recently our old bulletin board has been replaced by one of architectural beauty and magnificent structure. Thus Philo is ever moving onward, never pausing or looking backward, but with ardent zeal she pushes her way to the topmost pinacle of fame, there seated as a guiding star to her followers, her beaming influence is felt by all humanity. ■77- Clionian Literary Society.

THE annual chronicler of any organization must, at all times, hazard that great dread of all literature, monotony, but if during the time there has been visible the element of growth and development, we know there is a living force within that impels this growth, and the expression of this force in words, the recital of the events whose tendency is ever toward a broader and grander comprehension of life, becomes a pleasing task, and by their persual we are gratified and greatly benefited. In view of this we gladly take a retrospective glance over Clio ' s path during the year, and willingly assume the task of giving voice to the forces that have so silently worked during the year, and permitted us to see now at its close the happy results of the honest efforts put forth. Other days beheld the societies as possessing much more of the spirit of rivalry than now, and at first this might be taken as a token of a retrogressive step, but closer examination and a little thought must reveal the fact that with a preponderance of spirit there can be but little else. It is indeed encouraging to note that the passing years have broadened this idea of rivalry till now the work is done in harmony, with individual progress as a watchword, and the advancement of society as a necessary issue arising from the condition of the composing units. Increased activity, increased loyalty, and increased variety have all, by their blending, been important and prominent factors in the success we have attained in our efforts to raise ourselves to a higher plane of use- fulness in that great society beyond the college, where the man of brains and strength of soul and body is so rapidly coming to the van The members of other years, yet with us, have not been neglectful of their duty, and of those who have lately entered a fair proportion have cast their lot with Clio, thus bringing this feature of our growth to a high standard. But better far than to chronicle a simple gain in numerical strength is the privilege of noting the best of all increments — mental strength. There has been no period within our history when men showed forth the ability and the awakening powers of those who are now so diligently striving to add all that is possible to their mental powers. The watchword is Service, the impetus is Activity, the goal Success. — So- Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS. President, L. P. Young. Vice President J. H. Newhauser. Rec. Secretary, L. R. Haus. Cor. Secretary, S.

By the Combined Clubs. -98- History of the Susquehanna Musical Clubs. THE poet Armstrong has said, Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain ; and hence the wise of ancient days adored one power of physics, melody and song. The life of a student, while it is fraught with many joys, is one of worry and pain. Few are the students who have not burned the midnight oil, toiling and worrying over some problem in Algebra or Calculus, or some difficult sentence in Greek or Latin. But there is a balm which alleviates every ache and pain; that balm is music. It lightens the heart and soothes the tired mind. Realizing the wonderful influence of music upon life and character, and also the need of more of its soothing influence in our college life, several of the boys organ- ized a Glee Club and elected Prof. Chauncy Keeley as instructor and leader. This first organization was formed in 1897. The boys, sixteen in number, practiced faithfully for several months and sang at a number of enter- tainments given in town and at the University. In the autumn of ' 98, Mr. Chas. M. Nicholas, who had been leader of the Gettysburg Glee Club for several years, entered the Seminary here, and was elected leader of S. U. ' s Glee Club, a position which he has very ably filled up to the present. Mr. E. R. Wingard was elected manager, in which capacity he is now serv- ing his third season. With these two gentlemen at the head of our clubs, together with the faithful work of the individual members, the club was enabled to give a very creditable opening concert in the college chapel on the 22nd of February, 1S99. A Mandolin and Guitar Club was also organized in ' 98 under the instruction of Prof. Keeley. Our Uni- versity is also the proud possessor of an Orchestra of twelve pieces, under the direction of Prof. Keeley, which furnishes all the music for our commencement week exercises, and also accompanies the Glee and Mandolin Clubs on their trips. In the spring of ' 99 the musical clubs made their first trips, giving in all twenty concerts. In the fall of ' 99 the clubs again organized and began hard work. This year the clubs were fully equipped and attired in full dress, which added greatly to the appearance of the organizations. During the winter and spring terms the clubs gave thirty -one concerts, the last and most successful of the season being rendered on Wednesday evening of Commencement week. — 99 — In the autumn of 1900 the clubs, as usual, reorganized, and immediately began to practice. The Glee Club has been cut down to a double quartette, and thus far have rendered two concerts. An excellent schedule has been arranged, and the clubs will go on a western tour in the later part of March. Too much praise cannot be given to Messers Nicholas, Keeley and Wingard, who have so faithfully filled their respective offices, putting the welfare of the organizations before personal comfort. As a result of their efforts, the present season promises to be one of more than ordinary success, and the trips are anticipated with much pleasure by every member of the musical organizations of Susquehanna.

Before that time athletics, such as are found in a modern college, were practically unknown here ; but at that time foot-ball was introduced and the game took such a strong hold on the student body and the sup- porters of the school that its popularity has never waned. Indeed, that bane of college athletics, a foot-ball slump, is almost unknown here. In connection with foot-ball there came also a renewed spirit in base-ball ; for while this game had actually been played throughout the school ' s entire history, it was yet never properly de- veloped, nor were intercollegiate games of any consequence played until foot-ball taught the lessons of system, training and organization. As to foot-ball, it may well be said that it was attended by difficulties. When introduced it had to gain for itself supporters. The prevalent accusations of brutality were lodged against it. Men had to be developed who could master the science of the game and also endure the self-denials and physical hardships that accom- pany it. Careful business tact had to be exercised in order to secure finances for its support. Games had to be scheduled with such institutions as would give our school athletic standing. All the tribulations encountered by athletics in a young and small college had to be endured, but, as before indicated, during all this time en- thusiasm for this noble game ran high, and victory after victory crowned our efforts. The successes attained by foot-ball were not merely accidental, but the result of the combined efforts and support of teachers, students and friends. During the first few years it seemed impossible to do better than have some of the teachers do the coaching. Those who figured in that capacity were Professors Woodruff, Hartman and Fisher. During that time many strong teams were met, and in a number of cases Susquehanna ' s boys were successful. Then there came a brighter day. It became possible to secure the services of profess- ional players as coaches. Under the direction of such men as Gilchrist, Ford, Hare and Lang, Susquehanna ' s foot-ball teams rapidly leaped into prominence in intercollegiate athletics. These men instilled knowledge and inspired courage ; with skill came confidence and with confidence victory. During this period Susquehanna ' s athletic field produced a number of extraordinary men. Among these might be mentioned Woodley, Michael, Yon, Hoover, MacLaughlin, Morris, Barrett, Wingard, Iseman, Nicholas, the Hermans, the Brumgarts, Lang, etc. Many of these have since distinguished themselves on other teams, some are still with us, while others are playing the more serious game of life. — in — Nor do our athletics present a record less triumphant in the direction of base-ball. Indeed, counting the number of victories simply, the successes here eclipse those accomplished in foot-ball. Nearly every college in the state has been met and almost each of them has felt the sharp pangs of defeat at Susquehanna ' s hands, Dickinson, Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Bucknell, State College, all went down at various times before the perfect work of our men. But foot-ball and base-ball do not comprehend all our athletic activities. Since the purchase and grad- ing of our new athletic field, we have been taking on a wider range. Basket ball, field and track athletics have been introduced and are being developed. A magnificent grand stand, the generous contribution of the ladies of our town, is about to be erected and will be ready for the base-ball season. We are glad to note, too, that we were not obliged to desist from athletics during the winter months. The fitting up of our present gym- nasium obviated this former disagreeable necessity. Regular systematic exercise with dumb bells, wands, clubs, punching bag, gloves, chest weights, vaulting horse, horizontal bar, ladder, etc., is required of all resident students below the Junior Class, while all others are privileged to elect such work as they may desire. This department of athletics is under the direction of Messrs. Walter A. Wolgemuth and M. H. Fischer. The results that have been accomplished are simply marvelous considering the time that could be devoted to drill work. A recent exhibition given by the students of this department won the applause and very high commen- dation of the large crowd of interested spectators. With the work done thus far as a foundation, great things may be expected during the coming year from the efficient and enthusiastic work of these gentlemen. And now, with this record behind us, with sincere and earnest practice each day of the present, with a splendid schedule for base-ball for the season about to open, with rare treats in track, field and gymnasium exhibits for commencement week, and with the strongest foot-ball schedule and foot-ball material in our history for next year ' s opening, Susquehanna ' s athletic enthusiasts can cast to the future a confident eye.

Meets Friday p. m. 138- ENTERT AINMENT 4fc f ' 39- Inter-Society Debate. Clio vs. Philo. Resolved, That Porto Rico should be included in the customs boundry of the United States. It mattered not that drops of rain fell from a threatening sky during the early evening of June the second, for once again the cycle hand turned to that point in her course where, An excellent opportunity was afforded to test the relative powers of the two Literary Societies in analysis and exposition of thought, argument and persuasion, and long before the speakers took the rostrum anxious sympathizers of both societies thronged the chapel to the doors. As on a former occasion, Philo held no preliminary debates, but through her committee selected H. K. Barbe, Harry Weis and F. E. Shambaugh to defend her colors and do battle on the affirmative for the Faculty Cup. Clio chose the negative, and the lot fell upon J. H. Newhauser, L. P. Young and R. Z. Burns to defend the cup which for one year had rested under the banner of Clio. Unfortunately Mr. Young was unable to participate in the contest, owing to the sudden and dangerous illness of his father, and his mantle was taken by Mr. Burns. The chair was very ably rilled by Rev. T. T. Everett, D. D., of York, Pa., whose cheerful manners and prompt, firm dicisions inspired the audience with confidence in his presiding ability. After a short conference in the President ' s office, the judges, Messrs A. W. Potter, Benjamin Focht and F. C. Bowersocks, came forth during a burst of applause, after which breathless silence reigned until Senator Focht declared the decision of the judges to be in favor of the affirmative. ■Mi- 2. F. K.

Oh I love to sit in reverie And let the thoughts flash by, As the clouds that idly float Across the summer sky ; And maybe now and then I see Some brighter thought arise. Just as some brighter clouds we see Upon the sun-lit skies. Oh I love to build air castles, To build them grand and tall, To build them high and higher still, First they totter, then they fall, They are lost, but what is gained ? A deeper love for life. One finds he dare not sit at ease, But must be up and in the strife. Oh I love to lie and dream. Sweet dreams of love and right, And let my passion pass away Upon the silent night. I love to dream of future things. Of what my life shall be, Whether a stately ship, Or a little bark at sea. M. K. W. H. — 17 A Golden Mind. Oh golden mind; most precious gem That man has e ' er possessed, So coveted and loved by all, In regal splendor dressed. What art thou, that in every eye Thy dazzling brilliancy Reflects the love of truth and right, Of good and honesty ? For though a man has fallen deep Into the ways of sin, Though he has sunk in mire and clay, Yet still remains within His heart a trace of right and good, A longing and desire To do the Heavenly Master ' s will, To rise from clay and mire. But through the devil ' s wiles and arts, That cursed wretch ' s snares, He ne ' er is able to understand Except by faith and prayer. But how is he to pray who ne ' er Has learn ' ed how to pray ? Who a mother ' s care has never had To lead him on the way. When such as this poor helpless wretch Sees thee, Oh mind of gold, A beam of light from the dazzled eye Going forth in its rays enfold That which is pure in the heart of him, But soon the tempter ' s power Shadows this ray of Godly light — The curtain of sin doth lower. A golden mind is one ne ' er stoops To shows of empty dross: Thus spoke Morocco, famous prince. To Portia, at a loss To know which casket he should choose, Wherein his fate now lay, The dull or bright, which one should name The longed for nuptial day. That one is great who owns this gem, ' Tis not alone by deed That man is great, but by his thoughts The good and fruitful seed He in his heart and life may sow, And if by ceaseless toil, He keeps the tares from the ripening grain, ' Tis he is great in all. — 179- But how is man a golden mind This greatness to acquire ? Oh how can he, poor helpless worm, To this fair height aspire ? Can he who lives in lowly hut Expect to win this prize ? Or can it be that palaced men Alone to this arise ? Oh mighty God ' tis thee we thank That man, though he may grieve, Has in his hands his destiny, ' Tis he himself must weave The threads of Fate by earnest will, Endeavoring every day To reach the highest point toward which Great men direct the way. And Thee, Oh Lord, Almighty King, An everlasting friend Art thou to him who ever strives To reach this glorious end, And, if by chance the traveler Should fall along the way, ' Tis Thou who lists with gentle ear When he begins to pray. Old Greece and Rome, they know thy power, Thy strength, Oh Golden mind, For coming o ' er their ancient works It is with ease we find That men there lived who won thee, gem, And held thee as their own, When all of good and all of right From their great lands had flown. In modern times are many men In every walk of life That Thee have found to be their friend In times of fear and strife, And one of these, fair England ' s bard That Grand Old Man, so loved By every one in Britain ' s realm And by his impulse moved . Though nation, state and man himself Has passed this ' lectric thrill That could from him who happy has Such intellect and will, That helps make up the greatest man That one may ever find, That man revered and loved by all Who owns a golden mind. Such men as these our nation needs To hold the reigns of state, Such men as these God ' s holy cause Doth wish to kindly take The poor and burdened by the hand And lead them on the way, To show the path that leads along To everlasting day. Oh God, we pray thee give to us This gem of price so dear, That we, Oh Lord, what e ' er befall Thy name may ' st never fear. M. K. W. H. 1S0 - A Summer Day Dream. There ' s a shady little nook, And an old discarded book, And two hearts a beating, beating, beating ' neath a tree; There ' s a charming little girl, Gives my heart a funny twirl, And I wonder, wonder, wonder how ' t can be. The skies are blue above us, Feathered songsters seem to love us, And Laura ' s little hand I hold within my own; O ' er the lake the sunbeams play, In a dreamy sort of way, And Lanra ' s hair is mingled with my own. Still the shadows creep along, Faint and fainter grows the song, ' Till ' tis lost amid the gloaming of the eve; And my heart ' s comparing Laura, With the country ' s fairest flora, As I feel her hand a-pressing on my sleeve. But as I wake from dreaming, The cottage lights are streaming, And as we toward the house together stray ; Her right hand is in mine, And I the left asign, The task of leading Laura on the way. Just above me in a room, All shrouded by the gloom, Is a heart that ' s beating, beating, beating there for me; It ' s a charming little girl, Gives my heart a funny twirl, But I never, never wonder how ' t can be. R. Z. B. Sweet and Sweeter. Oh joyous are the eyes that see, And joyous is the hearing, But fudge in life ' s minority Doth lend much time a cheering. The fudge that ' s made by college girls Doth seem to us far sweeter, The one who has such knowledge then, The boys all try to meet her. We go sometimes to taffy pulls, And eat it to our sorrow, But get it from our college girls We ' re better on the morrow. The college girl then ' s queen of fudge, There ' s none that e ' er can beat her, But that is not the reason why We say there ' s none e ' er sweeter. L. R. H. — ISI — The Last Supper. We may tell out in numbers the years that have passed, That we ' ve left as a trail to be followed by men, With the annals of history now they are classed, And they speak to us but by the voice of the pen. Should we speak of the toils that have weighted the days, And made our hearts oft ' for this moment yearn. We would find there are other ships still on the ways, And other lessons which we all must learn. All life ' s an expanse of wearisome hours, Which seldom the rose of enjoyment adorns, And the heart that ' s soonest awake to the flowers, Is always the first to be touched by the thorns. But here we are gathered this glad festal night, And free from all pangs life seems to us now, And, Oh, may our spirits be always as light, Though clouds of adversity darken the brow. As the pages are turned of an old dusty book, That the wealth of its knowledge we there may explore, So backward we may through the passing years look, And by those that are gone judge what is before. Among the defiles of Parnassu ' s steep slope, We have counted the months as onward they fly, We are counting them now ' mid the springing of hope, And looking above where the crown we descry. There ' s a few of our clan who are absent to-night, Whose faces once beamed ' round our banqueting board, But wherever they be in darkness or light, We wish them the best that our hearts can afford. In unity ever our strength we have shown, And the deeds of our class in love were all done, No dissention within our dear circle has grown, And bright is the hour of each man of ' 01, We have thrown down the gauntlet to each as they came, Nor wanted an answer, to greet every foe, But firm in the conflict with strength for the game We have met them and downed them, as well they may know. Whose voice shall proclaim that a hero is here ? Or venture to give a measure of praise, That shall make of our fellows one minus a peer, Or any o ' er others t ' authority raise. There ' s Casey, our Kratzerville fabric of grit, And Reynolds, a standard of spirit and brawn, And doughty old Brigham, who can evenly fit In places whence others defeated have gone. There ' s Lambert, whose evenings are generally used (And the same to our Rabbi is equally apt) In a way that by cupid could alone be excused, For each has his soul in his fair ones eyes rapt. ■ IN2 - But I would not complete this jingle of verse, E ' er devoting a line to our four little girls, For search the world through you will find only worse, And they who deny it could only be churls. There ' s Effie, who victory won by her mouth, And Lambert ' s chief trouble, sweet Lucy the fair, With bonnie sweet Ted, our rose of the south, And Sarah, completing the catalogue there. Oh spare the dear blossoms ye orient breezes, With chill hoary wing as ye usher the dawn, And be thou far distant thou reptile that seizes The beauty and pride of American brawn. But none the less worthy of mention is he, Who so oft through the maze of our tale was our guide, Not more shall the test of our love wanting be To her who with Proffy shall ever abide. But joy to each heart that beats here to-night, And the shadows they cast may they never grow less, For the souls that are happy are those that are light, And the hearts that are lightest find life a sweet rest. Farewell to the few we shall leave with regret, The elect of the land we shall soon leave behind, May they sometimes recall what we cannot forget, Those who unto us have ever been kind. Come join in the mirth and be happy awhile, May we never meet worse in our pilgrimage here, Thou the tear that enjoyment ma} - gild with a smile, And the smile that compassion can turn to a tear. Then send round the bowl, while a relic of truth Is in man or in woman, this prayer shall be mine, That the sunshine of love may illumine our youth, And the moonlight of friendship console our decline. R. Z. B. Within and Without. Without is the darkness, the voice of the thunder, The wind and the rain and the wrath of the weather; Within is the light of the lamp, soft and mellow, The warmth of the hearth fire, and we two together. Beat thou on the roof, Oh storm of the night time, And blow, stormy winds, as ye will, cross the heather; We mind not your charging, and heed not your wailing, For fair are all skies when ' bide we together. Weep not in your sorrow and dark desolation, Love ' s home shelters us from the wrath of the weather; And night hath no darkness nor storms have no terrors, When love ' s face is clear, and we two ' bide together. R. Z. B. -183- Studentville. Bang ! Bang ! ! Bang ! ! ! Rippetty Bang ! ! ! ! Studentville in a roar, The cats they fight on the back yard fence, I ' ll never go there any more. Biff ! Biff !! Biff !! ! Biffety Biff ! ! ! ! Harman he ' s licking the boy, The pug it howls and Cora growls T ' is a life of love and joy. Ha ! Ha ! ! Ha ! ! ! Hurrah ! Hurrah ! ! The next house down the lane, Pop Schrader tells when he was young How he w-as quite a flame. Pound ! Pound ! ! Pound ! ! ! Pictures and frames, Sold cheap for cash you see, Fifty cents, the Diehl you say, Well fix me two or three. Scratch and pull ! Scratch and pull ! The Barbes they ' re in a spat, Hit her Ad, punch her Ted, Just try to knock her flat. Next house Purgatory, girls, girls, girls, and other things. A Toast. Here ' s to students ' bill of fare, A pile of empty dishes, Pie crust made of malted hair, Chicken bones for wishes. Breakfast is most always oats, Flesh of street car horses, Sometimes ' tis of ground up shotes, Served in single courses. Dinner made up of roast pork, Peas, and beans, non-Boston, Then the pie, with it a fork To break the hard old crust on. Gutta-percha is the beef, For your teeth a greeting, ■ 184 — Then dyspepsia no relief If it you are eating. Cheese and pickles, Oh what fate, Mucor aye mueedo, Never taken from the plate, They themselves proceed tho ' . ' Taters mit their jackets on, Coarse and hard in mash, Sometimes cooked into a soup, Sometimes served in hash. Supper now we can ' t pass by, Tho ' the fare is better, Hardtack, cheese, and beef so dry It passed the test for leather. Oyster soups with one apiece, That one almost rotten, Butter never used, but grease, A thing that ' s ne ' er forgotten. Then come coffee, and the tea, Some prefer just water, Oft in colors strange to see. All prefer it hotter. Then, Oh brother, cheerful look, Surviving weeks of this, ' Less you get a poorer cook, Live on in ceaseless bliss. A Victim. Thorns and Roses. As with the rose, so fresh, so fair, Oft thorns are most abundant there, The tend ' rest bud do these all guard From dangers here both rough and hard. So too do rules at Ladies Do rm, Tend to protect from every harm That pride and jealousies now bring, To their fair names and leave a sting. The rose may many sorrows bear, That ' mong the thorns it cannot share What lilies and the violets blue, What it may please them e ' er to do. So too sometimes do girls complain That they alone at home remain, And must contend with song or book. While others stroll down by the brook. The rose alone in every land, May keep its beauty, thorns at hand, But yet its glory it imparts By touching chords in saddened hearts. So too might girls at S. Vs. dorm, Grow pure alone from morn to morn, Yet much more good could they all do, If they could speak to me and you. L R. H. -1S5- By TKe Day ' By The Day. SPRING TERM, 1900. March 21st.

E nn) X-FACULTY • 2 °3 ■ J B i jMfcj - J «1P ' ¥ V tfi — M ' V sj i l ' VK Wk iMr ffl|| Rev. Benjamin Kurtz, D. D., LL. D. , a descendent of the Halle patriarchs, and grandson of Rev. J. X. Knrtz, who came to this country in 1745 as the as- sociate of Henry Melehoir Muhlenberg, was born in Harrisburg, Feb. 27, 1795. At an early age he exhibited a remark- able fondness for books, and by aptness and persevering application soon became a scholar of no mean reputation. At the age of fifteen he was an assistant in the Harrisburg Academy, and subsequently gave private lessons in Latin, Greek and German. The early training of Dr. Kurtz was of that nature which teaches self-reliance and unyielding perseverance ; character- istics which enabled him in after years to accomplish remarkable deeds in the face of apparently insurmountable ob- stacles. He studied Theology under Dr. George Lochman, an d was licensed to preach by the Synod of Pennsylvania in 1815. He immediately received a call to Baltimore to assist his uncle, Dr. J. D. Kurtz. After serving here for some time, he became pastor at Hagerstown, and later at Chambersburg, but failing health compelled him to retire from the ministry, and in 1833 he moved to Balti- more and became editor of the Lutheran Observer. Under his direction the paper became an instrument of mighty power and moulding in- fluence in the church. As an orator, Dr. Kurtz is much renowned. He was eloquent, pungent in rebuke, skillful in repartee, and fond of excitement. Some of his best productions were the product of emergen- cies, and to whatever labor he turned his hand, he entered upon it with such spirit as made him unconquerable. Dr. Kurtz was active in the founding of the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, and later was the virtual founder of Missionary Institute, which in its ever widening influence has now grown to be Susquehanna University. Prof. Theophilus Weaver. Rev. Peter Borx, D. D. The subject of this sketch was born in Black Hole Valley, Ly- coming Co.. Pa.. June 3, 1820. He was educated at Gettysburg, graduating from Pennsylvania College in 1848, and from the Seminary in 1850. In March, 1851, he was married to Miss Sarah Hill, of Hughesville, Pa., who was to him a source of happiness and treasure of helpfulness. He was ordained by the East Pennsylvania Synod September 29, 1S51, and became associate pastor of Rev. J. P. Shindel, at Sunbury. After the death of Rev Shindel he assumed charge of the entire pastorate. In 1859 he was called to the principalship of Missionary Institute, then in course of establish- ment at Selinso-rove. He he was associated with 43 fcy • • Dr. Henry Ziegler, who was head of the Theological Department. As head of the Classical Department he served with eminent success until the resignation of Dr. Ziegler in 1S81, when he was elected superintendent and Professor of Theology. This position he resigned in 1894, but continued to serve the institution until a few months before his death, his last work being instruction in homiletics. Dr. Born was a man of ripe scholarship and sound judgment. In every subject taught by him he was recognized as a master. ;md the thoroughness of his preparation inspired his pupils with confidence, and urged them on to more thorough ami painstaking study. In all his work in the Theological Department the center and spring was the Word of God. He honored His Word by knowing it, by believing it, by obeying it in his personal life, and ever exalting it before the students as of the highest importance to the gospel ministry. The simple statement of the truth as it fell from his lips ever impressed men as coming from a heart governed by sincere, honest convictions. He was a kind and sympathetic teacher ; a man who needed only to be known to be loved. In business he was careful and prudent, ever cal- culating and weighing the means at hand before embarking on any new enterprise. He departed this life May 23, 1899, at the ripe old age of seventy-eight years and ten months, loved and honored by all. Rev. Henry Ziegler, D. D., for twenty-three years Theological Professor at Missionary Institute, was born at Old Fort, Centre County, Pa., August 19, 1816. At the age of nineteen he was baptized and confirmed, and became filled with a desire for a deeper spiritual life. A man of much prayer and true piety, his influence became mighty, and family altars were erected where no voice had formerly been raised in thanksgiving to God. Deciding to get a higher education, he went to Gettys- burg in 1S36, and graduated from the seminary in 1S43. He was at once called to Selinsgrove, and in 1845 was made missionary president of the Pittsburg Synod. After five — 206 — Henry Ziegler, D. D. years of service in this field he was called to Williamsport, and in 1853 became solicitor of the Parent Edu- cational Society, which position he held until called to Salona in 1855. On the locating of the Missionary Institute at Selinsgrove, Rev. Ziegler was called to become Theological Professor of that institution in 1858. In this position he served with unvarying success until 1881, when failing health compelled him to resign. Dr. Ziegler is the author of numerous books, pamphlets and tracts, all of which bear the marks of a profound scholar. He was a logical thinker, a sound theologian, and, above all, a deeply spiritual man. His knowledge of God ' s Word and obedience to its instruction fitted him full well to be a leader of religious thought, and a princely expounder of the Way of Life. On November 26, 1898, his work ceased. Calm, peaceful, painless, he fell asleep to awake to his reward hereafter. Rev. J. B. Focht, D. D., son of Rev. D. H. and Susan ( Brown ) Focht, was born in Chambers- burg, Pa., July 20, 1 85 1. He prepared for college at Missionary Institute, and entered Pennsylvania College in 1 87 1. He was appointed orator for the anniversary of the Philomatheon Society in 1873, and in the ora- tion delivered proved to the world that the honor had not been thrust upon him in vain. He was awarded the Hassler gold medal for proficiency in Latin, and 1874 received the Graeff prize for the best essay on Tennyson ' s Idyls of the King. He graduated in 1874 with first honors and the valedictory. — 207 — Rev. J. B. Focht, D. D. During 1875-76 he was proctor of Pennsylvania College, and the next year was appointed principal of the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania State College. He was ordained in 1876, but did not enter the active ministry until 1S87. After graduating from the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, in 1S77, he accepted a call to the vice-principalship of Missionary Institute, and in 1881 was chosen principal. From 1881 to 18S7 he held the principalship of the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania College. In 1887 he was called to St. John ' s Evangelical Lutheran Church, at Lewistown, which he served until called to St. Peter ' s, at Barren Hill, in 1894. In 1899 he was called to Trinity Lutheran Church, at Selinsgrove, where he now labors with eminent success. During the autumn of 1899 he was instructor in Theoretical and Practical Homiletics in the School of Theology at Susquehanna University. As a professor Dr. Focht is very successful, and as a pastor his labors are meeting with ever increasing success. Rev. Frank P. Manhart, D. D., was born at Catawissa, Pa. He graduated from Missionary Institute in 1875, and from Pennsylvania College in 1877. He was principal of schools at Bloomsburg, Pa., 1877-1880. A year was spent in travel and in study. Theological studies had been carried on in various ways for a number of years. He was ordained in 1878 ; organized a church at Millville, Pa., in 1SS1 ; was pastor at Bloomsburg, Pa., 1881—89; organized All Saints in Philadelphia in 1889, and was its pastor for four years. On April 1, 1893, he became financial secretary of Missionary Institute, and in June its superintendent. In June, 1894, he was inaugurated as superintendent and Esther Stroup Professor of Systematic Theology, etc. At this time, also, the board raised the course to that of a college, and in December, 1894, changed his title to president, and the name of the school to Susquehanna University. He retired from Susquehanna University in 1895, having been on the Missionary Institute board about ten years, and suggested and prepared the action revising its doctrinal basis. The years 1895 all d 1896 were spent in specializing studies in the Department of Philo- sophy in the University of Pennsylvania. Since 1897 he has been pastor and executive head of the Deaconess Motherhouse and Training School in Baltimore. Since 1893 he has been secretary of the Deaconess Board ; since 1S92 a member of the publication board ; from 1882-89 was a member of the Gettysburg Seminary board. With Rev. Dr. Studebaker and others he edited Augsbur g Songs No. 2. In 1S94 he delivered the Bougher lecture on Christian Worship at Gettysburg, Seminary, and in 1897 the Holman lecture on Article 10 of the Augusburg Confession. Has had eight articles in the Gettysburg Quarterly. Received degree of D. D. from Pennsylvania College in 1899. In 1SS9 he was married to Catharine, daughter of Rev. Peter Born, D. D. Prof. William Noetling was born in Union County, Pa., and, as his name indicates, is of German descent. His father, Dr. William Noetling, a graduate of the university at Heideberg, Germany, came to this country in 1808. On his mother ' s side, his grandfather, John Zulauf, was also a German, who landed on the shores of America near the outbreak of the Revolutionary war. The subject of this sketch, Prof. Wm. Noetling, received his German education from his father, and his early English instruction, usually two or three winter months, in the schools of Mifflinburg. At the age of sixteen years he was apprenticed to learn the carpenter trade. After he had completed his term of apprentice- ship and entered upon journeyman work, he spent the cold winter months in attending school to qualify himself for winter school teaching. Several terms, with this end in view, he was a student at the academy in Mifflin- burg. The more, however, he attended school the less attractive the carpenter bench became, until, finally, he determined to relinquish his trade and prepare for a collegiate course. In pursuance of this end, he attended an academic school at New Berlin, receiving at the same time and some time after private instruction from Louis Stork, a German educator of unusual attainments. He then spent a summer term at Lewisburg Uni- versity, and in the fall of the same year entered Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y., where he graduated in 1857, standing among the highest in his class. He also took a course in civil engineering and in architecture, and was a student, one term each, at the Academy of Music, Geneseo, N. Y. , and at Dr. Sanveur ' s School of Languages, at Amherst, Mass. He received the degree of A. M. from his alma mater. To study school systems and methods, he has traveled considerably in the United States and Canada. Among the positions which the Professor has occupied are the following : Vice-principal and professor of mathematics in the Missionary Institute at Selinsgrove ; principal of a grammar school at Belleville, Illinois ; principal of a select school at Waynesboro, Pa ; two terms county superintendent of Snyder County ; principal of a school for the preparation of teachers, and twenty-three years professor of the science and art of education in the Bloomsburg State Normal School. The Professor is the author of two books — Notes on the Science and Art of Education and Ele- ments of Geometry, Constructive and Inductive. He has been asked to write a series of mathematics, methods of English compositions, etymological spelling book, reading charts, and principles and methods of teaching, but while actively engaged in school work could not find time to do so. Intensely interested in the profession of teaching, he keeps himself fully abreast of the times by reading the best American and foreign educational books and journals. Few teachers possess better and more exten- sive professional libraries than he. His methods serve as models to others ; and his professional spirit, together — 209 — with the rich experience of many y ears, places him in the front ranks of his profession. A half-hour spent in his class room is full of valuable suggestions. He has a sunny temperment and a vein of humor that enlivens his instruction and makes his pupils at once feel at home in his presence. His work as a teacher and trainer of teachers, together with his numerous articles on edu- cational subjects in newspapers and educa- tional journals, have made him well and favor- ably known throughout the state. A wife and two children constitute his family. Rev. S. Domer, D. D., Washington, D. C. Over forty-six years ago (May 17, 1855) Dr. Domer entered the ministry, in his first pastorate, at Selinsgrove, Pa. He was born at Sabbath Rest, Blair Co., Pa. Studied at Wittenburg College, Ohio ; was graduated in 1853 ; studied theology in the Gettysburg Seminary, and was called in his Senior year to take charge of the English Lutheran Church at Selinsgrove, Pa. , where he began his pas- toral labors in the spring of 1855. Fourteen years he lived at Selinsgrove, then successively in Reading and Shamokin, Pa. In 1874 he was called to St. Paul ' s English Lutheran Church of Washington, D. C, where he has resided ever since. On account of sickness he was compelled to resign his charge at Washington in the spring of 1900, after a pastoral service of 25 years and 6 months. Early in his ministry at Selinsgrove the question of the establishment and location of Missionary Institute engaged the attention and interest of his congregation and community. Dr. Domer took a very active part in this movement, and in cooperation with the prime movers, Dr. B. Kurtz, of Baltimore, and Dr. H. Zeigler, of Selinsgrove, he became one of the founders of the institution and one of its first professors. Dr. Domer also claims the honor of nominating and commending to the board of directors the name of Prof. Wm. Noetling to the position of mathematical professor, and subsequently he was instrumental in having Dr. P. Born chosen superintendent of the classical department and adjunct professor of theology. The charter of the Missionary Institute was the work of Col. A. C. Simpson and Rev. Domer. He gave his services as teacher without remuneration, but he speaks of this period and his little work there with most laudable pride, and with the greatest personal satisfaction. He feels that he never did any work for which he was better paid. His com- pensation he gets from witnessing the success and prosperity of the institution in its marvelous growth and speedy enlargement along the lines of that liberal character which he assisted in formulating in the beginning of its history. He mentions with special satisfaction the names of Dr. S. W. Owen, D. George P. Weaver, Rev. George Rhodes and others, who were members of his class in rational psychology and moral science. Of the institution under its present management he writes: A more capable, faithful and efficient faculty of instructors than the Selinsgrove institution enjoys at this time it would be hard to find. These noble men are themselves the explanation of the current prosperity of the school, the vindication of the wisdom of its establishment, ' and the promise and prosperity of its future achievements. J. H. Ehrehart, the son of Chas. J. and Martha (Hill) Ehrehart, was born near Hughesville, Lycoming Co. Pa., May 24, 1856. He entered the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania College in 1865 and graduated from college in 1874.

In 1873 he entered Junior Class at Pennsylvania College and was chosen orator for the anniversary of the Phenakasmian Literary Society in 1874 ; graduated with fourth honors in 1875, and became professor of mathematics and English in Missionary Institute. He returned to Gettysburg and entered the Seminary in 1876, and graduated from that institute in 1878.

During the past four years Dr. Weigel has held (211) the chair of the Greek language and literature in Irving College. While pastor at Littlestown he was secretary of the West Pennsylvania Synod, and while pastor at Altoona was president of the Allegheny Synod for two years. He has served as a director of the Gettysburg Theological Seminary, and has been for several years a trustee of Irving College. Has also been a delegate to the General Synod four times.

He took one year in the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, and then became vice-principal of Missionary Institute under Prof. J. R. Dimm, he served in this capacity two years, and after completing the seminary course at Gettysburg, was called to Oakland and Deer Park. This charge was served for two years, after which he was called to Johnstown, Pa. Six weeks after enter- ing upon this work the town was almost destroyed by the flood, still the work went on with much sacri- Rev. d. w. Weigei. fi ce on tne part of pastor and people until a new brick church was erected, and over 300 souls added to the Lord. After nine years of service here, Rev. Amick was called to Peabody, Kansas, where he is doing a very successful work. Rev. Lindley Neff Fleck, was born November 14, 1850, in Sinking Valley, Pa. After a partial preparation at home, he entered Missionary In- stute in 1874, and remained until the close of his freshman year, in 1876.

Fortney was born near Centre Hall, Centre Co., Pa., December 27, 1845. His parents were industrious, honest and faithful farmers, where William spent his early years. After the death of his father, in 1863, he worked for some time as hired man for his brother, and started to school at the Boalsburg Academy, under the instruction of Prof. D. W. Wolf. The next fall and winter were spent at Pinegrove Academy under Prof. Thomas, after which William began to teach. About this time he gave his heart to God, and felt the call to the Gospel ministry. He worked to get the required means, and after clerking, teaching, and a few more terms in the academies of Centre Co., he was permitted to enter Freshman Class at Gettysburg on trial. He graduated with honor and the appointment of the Latin Salutatory in 1872. After taking one year in the Seminary at Gettysburg, he was chosen vice-principal of Missionary Institute : He held this position two years, and in the meantime married Miss Lorena Ziegler, daughter of Prof. Henry Ziegler, D.
